Two McFlurries from the local McDonalds, what wonderful value these things are, $8.30 worth of nothing, and I bet I get no response to the email I sent regarding my customer dissatisfaction. Might be the last time this health food shop sees this fat bloke set foot in there.
Taken for Our Daily Challenge (Topic: Valued)
While it's definitely not what I value most, I do highly value sleep :)
Sorry for being terribly behind on both taking photos for the challenges and commenting on photos! While this time of year is fantastic, it is also crazy busy. My brother comes home this weekend!!!! :D

“Warm, friendly and informal”
Riad Dar Najat
Two of us (women over 55) stayed for 3 nights - our first visit. We were picked up from the airport and made welcome from the moment we arrived. They had made a mistake with our booking but this was sorted out entirely to our satisfaction - and from then on, everything was great. Our room was in Black Zitoun, a riad under the same management, only a few minutes walk from Dr Najat, but we could use the communal facilities of both. The roof terrace was perfect for breakfast, for relaxing with a glass of wine watching the sunset in the early evening and for sitting under the stars late at night. Abdul organised tours for us: a tour by car of more distant sights, a walking tour of the souk and a whole day tour out towards the Atlas mountains. They were well worth the money - just the two of us and guide, all arranged at our pace so that we felt we saw a lot in a short time without feeling at all rushed. When we went out to things we'd arranged for ourselves, staff escorted us there and back. Tariq did that in the evening and was always cheerful, even when we sat up quite late on the roof terrace while he served us with wine. All the other staff (the only one whose name I caught was Said) were equally friendly and good humoured - an ideal place for a short break in a fascinating city!

Chimpanzees, people and the oil palm: cultural adaptation, changing values and perceptions, and modern challenges
Dr. Tatyana Humle (University of Kent)
Countries such as Guinea and Sierra Leone are not only home to some of the largest remaining populations of the West African subspecies of chimpanzee, but also host vast numbers of native oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) and areas of land sought after for large scale oil palm industrial development. The feral oil palm often acts as a prime resource for both humans and chimpanzees across vast mosaics of fallow areas, cultivated fields, riverine areas, forest fragments and human settlements. Since the majority of chimpanzees in both these countries occur outside protected areas, many populations rely on the oil palm, as well as possibly human cultivars, for their subsistence. Such landscapes have in some cases sustained human-chimpanzee co-existence for generations; however, more recent rapid changes in landscape structure and use are posing new challenges and fuelling increased intolerance towards chimpanzees and other wildlife. Our research centres on understanding how human and chimpanzee behaviour, perceptions and culture influence their ability to share a same landscape and on assessing the main challenges to people’s livelihoods and tolerance towards wildlife. The case of the oil palm illustrates perfectly the complexities of co-existence and the challenges that lie ahead for biodiversity conservation and development. Variation in how and where chimpanzees use the oil palm reflects both their ecological and cultural adaptation to human-modified landscapes. Chimpanzee communities across West Africa may use the feral oil palm for nesting and/or for feeding purposes, while the oil palm provides humans with numerous products of immense domestic and commercial value. It is essential for us to understand these patterns of use and evaluate the oil palm’s contribution to the persistence of chimpanzees and other wildlife and local peoples’ livelihoods. Such work could help shape sustainable land use management and economic development on both a local and national scale, concurrent with an agenda of co-existence rather than one risking fuelling intolerance and conflict.
“So often, you are so close to who you want to be, you don’t even realize it. You feel like it’s so far away and it is right there in front of you.” —Sue Bryce
I’ve been taking a lot of online photography workshops lately and am LOVING it. The one I’m currently on is about experimental portraiture by Sue Bryce and Lara Jade, and something that Sue said in an episode I recently watched has been on my mind for a few days now. She said that she had been talking with her friends about their values and her friends were surprised that photography didn’t make it onto her list until #7. Her explanation for this is that, for the style of photography that she does, the importance is in the feeling of beauty and power that she is able to give her clients by seeing a photograph of themselves that was taken once she breaks through all of their insecurities and nervousness. That’s not the type of photography I usually do, but I love and respect it tremendously. The world needs more of it.
But that begs the question: What DO I do then? What are my values? Why are those things important? How do they connect to each other?
I don’t have direct answers to all of those questions yet. But it’s a great something to sit on and daydream about. Here are some thoughts towards my values:
1—Meaningful relationships. Several months ago, doing a monthly goal setting challenge from my friend and spiritual life coach, Ivy Rose Latchford, I realized that this is one of the most important things to me in life. There is SO much in this world, but none of it matters if we don’t have meaningful relationships. With ourselves, with our friends, our families, our homes. With nature. With the universe.
2—Catharsis. I think this is what we all look for every day, and it’s what I strive to offer through all of my artwork. But also not only through my artwork, but through every word I speak, every action, for myself if not also for others. We must find it in the smallest of details. The first sip of your latte in the morning. The sun suddenly breaking through the clouds. I use specifically luxurious pens when I write in my journal because they make me feel like what I’m saying is that much more meaningful.
3—Artistic expression. This falls heavily into the catharsis category, but even for the most joyous, innocent person, I think it’s important to make art. Art is the truest pieces of our own selves that we can put out into the world and leave behind. Above our children, who are their own beings. Above photographs of important moments in our lives, because we have lived so many more days. Above all else. The art we create is the window into our souls for whoever is already out there looking for someone who understands and whomever we leave behind in this world.

VIDEO – 68 POUND CHALLENGE by Kim Cathers
The ECO Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 (SS2013) or Season 5 (EFW05) line-up of sustainable, earth-loving and environmentally-friendly fashion designers includes Nicole Bridger, Standing Arm, Rise, Mala Imports, Voyou, Ressac, Respecterre, C5H8 and others. Value Village continues to support the event featuring designs by Nicolette Lang-Andersen, Mimi Lauzon and Tony Vu. Kim Cathers offers her unique brand of 68 Pound Challenge with Adhesif Clothing b y Melissa Ferreira closes the runway show on Thursday.
On Friday (Oct 19), the last day of the ECO Fashion Week SS2013 is a series of seminars covering a range of industry subjects such as labor, manufacturing, trends, upcycling, consumer awareness etc. with ECO Fashion Week CEO & Founder Myriam Laroche and other industry experts like Martin Hojsik (Greenpeace), Tara Sawatsky (Canopy) and others.
Eco fashion designers mostly use recycled, reclaimed and vintage fabrics for their clothing creation. As a result, a lot of the clothing designs are one-of-a-kind, or as designer Myco Anna describes hers, ‘every piece is unique in the way it combines new and recycled fabrics and fibers like a kaleidoscope.’ Some designers also give away scrap or surplus fabrics to other textile artists to utilize and work with, adhering to a totally no-waste and everything-recycled principle.

As biomedical innovation has developed advanced therapeutic modalities and prospective cures for ailments that previously had no comparable courses of treatment, the challenge of crafting sustainable reimbursement models has inspired a variety of value-based agreements. Departure from traditional dosage-based models makes it difficult for therapy developers, payers, patients, and investors to plan for a new therapy’s rollout and breadth of patient access. This session will explore the early lessons from current value-based agreements to explain the payers’ expectations for future models of reimbursing treatments based on outcomes versus delivery.
