Wealden District Council has just approved its new Housing Strategy which sets out the work being done to increase the supply of affordable homes for local people.
The Strategy for 2017-2020 also highlights the work to improve the quality of local housing and providing housing advice to individuals and communities. As well as describing the challenges faced by people looking to get on the property ladder, including a current lack of one-bedroom properties, the widening gap between average incomes and house prices.
The report refers to the lack of one bedroom properties, particularly in Crowborough, which has a higher proportion of larger (and 5+ bedroom) properties.
The Council has established Sussex Weald Homes Ltd to help fill the gaps where developers are not currently providing enough suitable homes. Particularly for younger people wishing to get a foot on the housing ladder and older people who want to downsize.
The Council has recently obtained planning permission on the old council depot off Forest Dene in Jarvis Brook for a development of 34 homes, including one-bedroom apartments and two-bedroom houses.
The number of households on the waiting list for housing is 1012 (as at September 2016).
Councillor Graham Wells, Wealden Cabinet member for Housing, said:
The new Housing Strategy has given us the opportunity to incorporate both local and national policy changes of which there have been quite a few, as well as a private sector housing renewal strategy. As well as continuing to build new council houses for rent through the Council’s housing revenue account, Wealden has set up Sussex Weald Homes, a wholly Council-owned company, to build a range of homes to target the first-time buyer and those who want to down-size.
We have had insufficient details about the recently announced additional funding from Government to build more social houses to include in this strategy, but it reinforces our continued desire to build more homes.
Wealden continues to have high levels of home ownership, high demand for social housing, high property prices and a high proportion of detached and larger properties.
To increase housing supply the Council is looking to identify sites for up to 11,500 new homes in its emerging draft local plan, ensure levels of affordable housing are built both within and outside the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including the 35% affordable housing contribution for larger developments, and encourage the supply of smaller one- and two-bedroomed homes. It is continuing to build council houses, with up to 160 new homes scheduled in Phase Two of its new build scheme, subject to planning and finances.
The Council also seeks to buy back ex-council houses which have been purchased through Right-To-Buy, as well as other properties if affordable; bring empty homes back into use and continue to tackle housing fraud through checks on housing applicants and tenancy audits.
The average Wealden house price is nearly 11 times more than the average resident’s income, which compares to the average in the South East of 8.5%. But, with a lack of housing for sale priced at an entry level, the situation is worst for first time buyers. Research by Shelter showed that for Wealden first-time buyers this ‘affordability gap’ was over 13%.
The Council’s 2014 Strategic Housing Market Assessment identified the need for 331 affordable houses a year to be built in the District.
When the draft strategy went out to consultation, 89% of respondents supported its aims of Increasing Housing Supply, 94% Improving Housing Quality and 89% plans to Support for Individuals and Communities.
The Wealden Housing Strategy 2017-20 also highlights the Council’s record to date:
- In 2014/15, 604 new homes were built across the District, including 193 affordable homes.
- In 2015/16, 520 new homes were built, including 172 affordable homes.
- During this period the Council built 64 new council homes and purchased six properties and a 21 unit scheme for older people.
It also continued to invest in the District’s housing stock of more than 3,000 homes. It spent £7.3 million in the last two years on capital improvements to property including new kitchens, bathrooms, boilers, windows and insulation.
Through its Community and Environmental Budget, it spent £130,564 in 2014/15 and £100,000 in 2015/16 on a variety of projects ranging from sports and play facilities, notice boards, parking, community facilities, buggy shelters for retirement living courts, garden improvements and shared equipment for sheltered schemes.
The Council continues to fund adaptations to properties to both Council-owned and private homes through the Disabled Facilities Grants. In 2014-16, there were 241 major adaptations including stair lifts and level access showers.
Through the Strategy, the Council will continue to improve housing quality. This includes the redevelopment of retirement living courts at Uckfield, investing up to £250,000 every year in adaptations to Council properties and ensuring all Council properties have double glazed windows and doors, cavity wall and sufficient loft insulation.
The Wealden Housing Strategy 2017-20 was approved by Cabinet on 18th October and a copy of the Strategy can be downloaded here.

Although only a minor hit in Wilde's native UK, it was a Top 20 success throughout Europe and marked the beginning of a very successful year for the star — during which she would have a best-selling album, several more successful singles and support Michael Jackson on the European leg of his tour.
"Hey Mister Heartache" featured vocals by Junior Giscombe, with whom Wilde had duetted on the Another Step (Closer to You) hit the previous year). However, this part of the song was edited down for the single version. The song was also extended for the 12" and CD-single formats, and a second 12" featuring the "Kilo Watt Remix" by Timmy Regisford was also released in the UK.

A few ago we the had the pleasure to photograph the wedding of Zoe & Scott at Doxford Barns. It is a lovely venue and the staff are brilliant including farmer Tom and his son who took us over to the lake in their cars and allowed us in the barns with the lambs – Brilliant.
A few weeks ago we photographed the wedding of Vicky and Tomas on the lovely Zetland Estate and then onto Rockliffe Hall for the reception. It was a bright but very cold day but that never stopped Vicky or Tomas and Vicky even went bare feet in some photos
Katie and I photographed the wedding of Becca & Keith at South Causey Inn a few weeks back. It may have been very cold but it was lucky that the weather was bright and sunny. Becca & Keith were great sports on the day braving the cold to get their photographs.
A few weeks ago Katie and I photographed the wedding of Lenny & Victoria at Lumley Castle – No Ordinary Hotel. The steam-punk theme was superbly carried throughout the day with lovely attention to all the little details. It was a lovely day and a privilege to be a part of it.

The UK's first urban cable car service, spanning the River Thames in London, opens to the public on Thursday.
The crossing, sponsored by Dubai-based airline Emirates, is between the ExCeL exhibition centre and the O2 arena at Greenwich in south London.
The system can carry up to 2,500 people per hour in each direction and will operate every day.
Known as the Emirates Air Line, the facility will cost £3.20 for a single fare for those using Oyster cards, while adults paying by cash will have to fork out £4.30.
The cars run between the ExCeL centre and the O2 arena, formerly the Millenium Dome
There will also be special "frequent flyer" deals for regular users.
London mayor Boris Johnson said: "This spectacular new addition to London's skyline will provide a much-needed new river crossing in the east of our great city.
"It will open up access to jobs in the Royal Docks enterprise zone and attract businesses and investors to a previously under-exploited area."

Labrador vs Golden Retriever: What’s the Difference and Which Breed Is for You?
Are you looking to add either a new Labrador or Golden Retriever puppy to your family soon? Or maybe you’re just confused about what the difference is between these two commonly mistaken breeds and are looking for some clarification? Whichever category you fall into, read on to learn more about both their similarities and their differences.
Posted by bravectosouthafrica – 27 November 2020
2 Distinct Dog Breeds With Plenty in Common
If Labradors and Golden Retrievers have been confusing you for years, don’t worry – you’re not alone. Both breeds share numerous similarities. For example, both are highly intelligent and frequently trained as working/service dogs, plus have a personality that simply lights up the whole room. It’s no wonder that they are some of the most popular dog breeds in the world.
It is a difficult choice to make, especially when they share such sought-after traits. Luckily the Labrador and the Golden Retriever share just as many differences.
Which side are you on? What breed is the best fit for your lifestyle? Learn more about the difference between a Labrador and Golden Retriever below with Bravecto®.
Golden Retriever vs Labrador Retriever: Physical Appearance
In some respects, Labradors and Golden Retrievers have a lot in common in terms of appearance as well. For a start, both breeds are retrievers, have folded ears, long tails, webbed feet and water-resistant coats – the last two of which are especially useful when enjoying one of their favourite shared hobbies: swimming!
Another physical feature they have in common is their soft mouths, which allow them to carry things around without damaging them. It’s the ideal trait for breeds who were selected for their hunting and retrieving skills.
A good way to tell a Golden Retriever and a Labrador apart is to study their profiles and general body shapes. You can see that both are medium to large-sized breeds but Labrador Retrievers have broader heads and a more muscular build, while Golden Retrievers have longer snouts.
The Labrador Retriever is the slightly larger and heavier one of the two breeds, with females generally being smaller in both cases.
On average, a Labrador weighs between 25-36 kg. Female Labs usually fall within the 25-32 kg weight range. When measured at the shoulders (i.e. withers), the Labrador Retriever typically measures in at 56-62 cm tall. Females can be found measuring in at the shorter end of this range.
Labs appear to have a stockier build than Golden Retrievers, which is at least partially due to their coat. Both Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers have outer and under coats to keep them warm when swimming. The difference is that the Labrador Retriever has a much denser and shorter outer coat, which acts similarly to a wet suit that traps the dog’s body heat, keeping it warm even when swimming in cold waters. It beats out the Golden Retriever’s water-resistant coat by being ice-resistant as well.
A Labrador’s tail is long, thick and covered with short hair. In fact, it bears some resemblance to an otter’s tail. This thick tail act as a rudder, helping to steer the Labrador through the water.
In terms of coat colour, there are Labradors in yellow, black and chocolate. Their coats maintain their colour, even as they mature – the only change being the addition of a few grey hairs.
The Golden Retriever
The average Golden Retriever weights between 25-34 kg. Females usually fall into the 25-32 kg weight range. In terms of height, the average Golden Retriever measures in at 56-62 cm tall at the withers. Once again, females fall into the shorter end of the range.
Golden Retrievers are the more graceful breed in the Labrador and Golden Retriever duo. This is thanks to their more slender build, as well their coat’s appearance. The outer coat is long, wavy and luxurious, giving the breed a sophisticated look.
Adding to the Golden Retriever’s elegant air is its long tail, featuring equally long, pluming hair. Watch this breed as it walks and you’ll be mesmerised by its swaying tail.
Their coat colours aren’t as varied as the Labrador’s but there are different shades of golden and they can even be a rusty red. Once they’ve reached maturity, Golden Retrievers’ coats can become nearly white or a darker, golden-red hue.
Golden Retriever vs Labrador Retriever: Personality and Behaviour
The Labrador Retriever vs Golden Retriever debate won’t easily be settled by comparing the breeds’ general personalities or behaviours, as both breeds have a lovely temperament overall. If you are looking for a dog that’s affectionate and easy to train, then you can’t go wrong with either breed. Labradors and Golden Retrievers adore their owners and love pleasing them. They are also gentle and good-natured towards other animals and children. Both breeds make wonderful family pets.
As mentioned before, both breeds are energetic and love to join their humans on a stroll, run or adventure. However, when it comes to each breed’s energy levels, there is a clear difference.
Labrador Retrievers aren’t made for people who live a largely sedentary lifestyle or are away from home often as they have extremely high energy levels that need to be depleted. If not, they may well end up tearing your house apart. This means they aren’t necessarily the ideal breed for seniors looking to take life easy during retirement.
Lively, busy homes are where Labs thrive. Because of their excitable personalities and higher energy levels, Labrador Retrievers are more suitable pets for households with older children, as their boundless enthusiasm, stocky build and overall bounciness may be too much for little ones to handle.
Once they’ve reached maturity at around 18 months old, they do tend to mellow out a bit, but compared to Golden Retrievers they will still be very high energy.
This breed isn’t known to be as sensitive as Golden Retrievers.
The Golden Retriever
Both Labs and Goldens are friendly, kind, loyal and obedient, so it’s no surprise that they are some of the most popular dog breeds out there. Golden Retrievers are, however, the more patient, sensitive and gentle breed between the two.
It is through their interactions with young children that the breed’s gentleness shines. If you study them closely, you’ll notice how soft and gentle they are with little ones.
These dogs thrive in a calm and quiet environment. They will gladly tag along with you for your daily jog or walk and just as happily join you for some lazy cuddles on the couch afterwards. They can enjoy a relaxing day in and an exciting day out in equal measure. On the flip side of this, is the Labrador – the one who never tires out and is always ready to play fetch.
When their humans aren’t around, most Golden Retrievers are capable of keeping themselves entertained and will happily indulge in an afternoon nap.
Because they are such tranquil dogs, the Golden Retriever is a great fit for a wide variety of households.
Golden Retriever vs Labrador Retriever: Grooming Requirements
Both breeds are known for their water-resistant double coats, which means they go through two rather large sheds every year. This means that neither dog is exactly maintenance-free in terms of grooming but Golden Retrievers do need a bit more attention to keep those plumes looking luscious.
It’s important to establish a grooming regiment from the time Labs and Goldens are still pups, to get them used to the routine. This makes them easier to handle once they’re fully grown.
In the Labrador versus Golden Retriever debate, the Labrador ends up winning when it comes to a less intense grooming regiment.
A Labrador’s double coat requires a brushing every few days, unlike a Golden Retriever that needs to be brushed daily. Regular brushings are beneficial to your Lab because it removes any dead fur and keeps their coat feeling lovely and soft. Lucky for Lab owners, their dogs don’t have any areas with longer fur sections that need frequent trimming.
Labrador Retrievers shed just as much as Golden Retrievers. This is especially the case in the late autumn and spring when their coats are getting ready to adjust to either warmer or colder temperatures.
It is recommended that a dog like the Labrador be bathed at least once every six weeks.
The Golden Retriever
Golden Retrievers are blessed with long, luxurious coats with either straight or wavy hair. If you want to become a Golden Retriever owner, then you need to be willing to give your dog quite a bit of grooming attention.
Areas such as the Golden Retriever’s ears, neck, legs, paws and tail are especially full of feather-like fur and will need to be trimmed on at least a two-monthly basis. This prevents the hair from growing too long and uncomfortable. To prevent their coat from matting or becoming tangled, Golden Retrievers will need to be brushed daily or at least once every few days. An undercoat rake is the ideal tool to prevent matting.
As mentioned before, Golden Retrievers shed just as much as Labradors, due to their double coat. During their big, bi-yearly sheds both breeds will require more frequent brushing for around three weeks.
Golden Retrievers should be bathed at least once every four weeks to maintain the coat’s silky sheen.
Golden Retriever vs Labrador Retriever: General Health
You will be pleased to hear that both Labs and Goldens are relatively long-lived. This means there is more time for you and your best pal to spend together.
Both breeds are generally healthy but are predisposed to suffering from different genetic diseases. They do share a predisposition for certain health issues, including:
- Exercise-induced collapse (not too common, but both breeds have been known to suffer from the condition)
- Hip and elbow dysplasia
- Progressive retinal atrophy
Labrador Retrievers have an average lifespan of between 10-14 years.
One of the leading health issues experienced by Labradors is obesity. They are genetically prone to becoming obese, due to a specific gene mutation not found in other dog breeds. This genetic mutation causes them to be predisposed to an increased appetite, excessive weight gain and obesity.
Labs are considered to be somewhat healthier than Golden Retrievers because of the availability of genetic testing. Most of this breed’s health problems can be avoided by having the dog genetically tested, being committed to managing their weight and giving them enough exercise.
Some other health issues common to Labradors are:
- Entropion – An eyelid abnormality that causes the eyelid to roll inward and leads to irritation of the cornea
- Laryngeal paralysis – A health issue that affects older Labradors and leads to the partial paralysis of the voice box; it results in difficulty breathing, as well as a muffled bark
- Malformation of the elbows and knees
The Golden Retriever
The Golden Retriever has an average lifespan of between 10-12 years.
Golden Retrievers are, unfortunately, especially prone to developing cancer. It’s not yet fully understood which genes, in particular, are responsible for carrying the cancer either.
Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that your Golden Retriever will develop cancer within their lifetime. They simply have a genetic predisposition for receiving genes that may mutate at some point.
Other health issues Goldens are known to struggle with are seizures and skin issues like hot spots.

Symphony I and II (Loews Vanderbilt Hotel)
Analysis of a tropical tornadic supercell by NWS forecasters during the 2010 Phased Array Radar Innovative Sensing Experiment (PARISE) suggested that the use of rapid-scan radar data can result in longer warning lead times compared to use of traditional 4.5-min data. To increase the sample size and learn more about forecasters' conceptual models and warning decisions, twelve NWS forecasters participated in the 2012 PARISE, which ran for six weeks during June August 2012. Two forecasters participated each week. The experiment's goal was to test whether rapid, adaptive sampling with the phased array radar at the National Weather Radar Testbed increases NWS forecasters' ability to effectively cope with tough tornado warning cases.
During the experiment each forecaster worked four cases ranging from 1852 min in length. Their activity was videotaped. For each case, the forecasters' goal was to decide whether a tornado warning was warranted. Before each case the forecasters received a pre-recorded weather briefing that provided situational awareness of the environment. The forecasters then worked the case in displaced real time using AWIPS II. RecordMyDesktop software recorded forecaster interaction with the radar data. After each case the forecasters reviewed the video and worked with researchers to build a timeline of their actions, what they saw and interpreted in the data, and their decision process. They also completed confidence and mental workload rankings. Finally, forecasters drew pictures and described the conceptual model they developed during each case. Findings from the experiment will be presented.

In this morning's Michigan news headlines...
Individual Tax Cut?
Lt. Gov. Brian Calley says a tax rollback for individual filers could be part of an overall plan to cut taxes for manufacturers. “The state Senate has approved a proposed phase-out of the tax on most manufacturing equipment. The package now goes to the state House. House Speaker Jase Bolger says he wants to roll into it a reduction in the state income tax or some other tax on individuals. Calley says he and Gov. Snyder are open to the idea. Democrats have complained that the tax reductions enacted by Republicans in Lansing over the past year and a half have all been directed at businesses,” Rick Pluta reports.
The Obama Administration wants to step up efforts to promote the U.S. as an international tourism destination and that’s welcome news to the folks who run the “Pure Michigan” campaign. Steve Carmody reports:
Michigan tourism officials know people from foreign countries come here to vacation, but they don’t know how many. And that’s important to know when they’re planning how to spend the “Pure Michigan” campaign’s $25 million advertising budget. This year, only about one percent, or about $250,000, is being spent to promote Michigan as a tourism destination in Europe, mainly in England and Germany. Nothing is being spent in Asia. Right now, the “Pure Michigan” campaign is focusing on regional promotions with some national ads, .and “a modest effort” in Canada.
Northern MI Wildfire
Officials say two wildfires in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula burned nearly 400 acres before being brought under control by fire crews, the Associated Press reports. “WWTV/WWUP reports the first fire started in Ogemaw County's Foster Township and burned about 125 acres on Sunday. The second fire was about four miles away and burned about 250 acres. No injuries were reported. People along a mile-long section of roadway near the first fire were evacuated Sunday but since have returned home. There's no word of structure damage.The cause of the fires is under investigation,” the AP explains.

Question about Texas Instruments TI-89 Calculator
It shows a straight line going through the point (0,0) terminus at (1,10), (-1,-10) instead of a curved line as it should show...What am I doing wrong?
The graph of y=22log(10) is a straight line, though it should go through (0,0) and (1,22). Log(10) is a constant 1, so the function is simply y=22x .
If you want "twenty-two times log-base-ten of x", write it as 22*log(x) .

Ok, try these two things and you should be just fine.
1.) Check your range for your graph. It is possible that the range you are using isnt large enough to show the curve. Also try using Z-fit vs Z-st. These are options that your calculator will give you once the equation is graphed.
2.) Place a parenthesis around the 2x, make sure that you and the calculator are both using the same order of operations. This move mill ensure that the calculator will multiply the variable, x, by two and then do the exponential.
This should do it!

Check the angle unit. If Angle unit is set to degree and window is about (-10,10) for X and (-10,10) for Y, you get a straight line. See screen capture.
Use radians. Or if you use degrees, set Xmin about -180 and XMax about180
With radian units the graph looks as follows.

Sad news for fans of Palace, Millwall and Charlton – and everyone else except Chelsea – inexplicably none of your players made it onto the cover of FIFA 15.
Chelsea’s Eden Hazard joins Barcelona star Lionel Messi on the front of this year’s edition of the iconic football game in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France and the Netherlands.
The 23-year-old Belgium star was the PFA Young Player of the Year last season and was in the PFA Team of the Year.
He said: “I have played FIFA all of my life and it’s a huge honour to be asked to be on the cover of FIFA 15. Now I have played the game I can say it’s the most realistic football game I have seen, so I cannot wait to challenge my friends and team-mates with FIFA 15 and show off the new moves.”
It’s not all bad news, because all of the teams are on the game which is more realistic than ever.
Palace fans get the added bonus of being able to play at a virtual Selhurst Park for the first time too, when the game comes out on September 26.

Conceptual and numerical models of dissolved solids in the Colorado River, Hoover Dam to Imperial Dam, and Parker Dam to Imperial Dam, Arizona, California, and Nevada
Conceptual and numerical models were developed to understand and simulate monthly flow-weighted dissolved-solids concentrations in the Colorado River at Imperial Dam. The ability to simulate dissolved-solids concentrations at this location will help the Bureau of Reclamation satisfy the binational agreement on the volume and salinity of Colorado River water delivered to Mexico. A robust spatial- and temporal-resolution dataset that consists of river discharge and dissolved-solids concentration and load information between January 1990 and September 2016 for 10 sites on canals, drains, tributaries, and the main stem of the Colorado River between Hoover and Imperial Dams was generated. Daily mean dissolved-solids concentrations were estimated and monthly mean dissolved-solids loads were computed for each site. Spatial and temporal load patterns, and historical and current controls on loads and concentrations, were analyzed in order to develop a conceptual model of dissolved-solids transport between Hoover and Imperial Dams. Two numerical models describing the relations between dissolved-solids concentrations and components controlling dissolved-solids concentrations and loads were developed, calibrated, and verified.
Between January 1990 and September 2016, there was a 98.8-million-acre-feet loss of water and a 57.0-million-ton loss of dissolved-solids load from the Colorado River between Hoover and Imperial Dams. Between Hoover and Parker Dams, about 69.0 million acre-feet of water was lost and 51.1 million tons of dissolved solids were lost; between Parker and Imperial Dams, about 29.8 million acre-feet of water was lost and 5.9 million tons of dissolved solids were lost. Water was removed from the river at a relatively consistent rate over the 25-year study period through water transfers to California and Arizona, evapotranspiration from crop irrigation, transpiration processes of riparian vegetation, and evaporation from the river main stem. Dissolved solids were removed from the river between Hoover and Parker Dams at a relatively constant rate through water transfers to California and Arizona, and water pumped from the river for irrigation within the Mohave Valley. A small amount of dissolved solids are gained by the river from inflow from the Bill Williams River. Between Parker and Imperial Dams, however, dissolved solids were not removed from the river at a consistent rate over the study period. Dissolved solids were generally removed from the river from 1990 to 2012, then gained by the river from 2012 to 2015, and then removed from the river from 2015 through 2016. Dissolved solids are assumed to be removed from the river and accumulated within the floodplain sediments and aquifers during irrigation processes; some dissolved solids may also be removed from the river through uptake by crops and riparian vegetation. Dissolved solids accumulated on the landscape and in the floodplain aquifer during irrigation are transported to the river during periods when the hydraulic gradient between the floodplain aquifer and the river is increased, causing a gain in dissolved solids in the river. Dissolved-solids gains in the river occur during periods of relatively low river discharge, such as during the winter months and during drier climatic conditions.
Two numerical models were developed and coefficients were estimated by using data from a May 2008-September 2016 calibration period. One model simulates concentrations at Imperial Dam based on the Colorado River system downstream from Parker Dam, and the other model simulates concentrations at Imperial Dam based on the Colorado River system downstream from Hoover Dam. Both models simulated monthly flow-weighted concentrations of dissolved solids for the Colorado River at Imperial Dam, which corresponded well with observed concentrations for the entire study period. The models are more sensitive to input variables of monthly discharge of the Colorado River below Parker Dam and monthly flow-weighted dissolved-solids concentrations of the Colorado River below Hoover Dam and Parker Dam than to the rate of change in concentration with respect to time and the combined discharge of the Colorado River Indian Reservation Main Canal and the Palo Verde Canal. The calibrated models can be used to run scenarios of future monthly flow-weighted dissolved-solids concentrations in the Colorado River at Imperial Dam. Although the models are expected to provide concentration estimates within 18 milligrams per liter (Parker Dam to Imperial Dam model) to 22 milligrams per liter (Hoover Dam to Imperial Dam model), 95 percent of the time, the error of future scenarios increases as uncertainty in the estimated future input variables increases.

Finding you in your photography.
February 26th – March 9th :: Only $59
We use the same camera as many, processing our photos using the same apps and programs as most. The difference is not mechanical. What can be different from one another and should be uniquely your own, is you. You(r), Discovering you in your photography. Discovering those parts of ourselves that we process, reflect and create in our work—recognizing those parts of our practice that nurture our expression. I truly believe that there is no place to ponder whether our work is good or bad—we only need to ask if it's honest, if it's our truth.
As many of you know my story, now having been almost ten years in recovery, I need a safe space to process my shit, coming to terms with who I now am and want to be. Through photography, discovering my own truth, I've found a place that is both true to my own necessary boundaries and to the boundaries of those around me. Photography and that which I capture gives me the moments to start putting together a life. I have no real answers, but these years have taught me that without staying on that edge of my own vulnerability and a willingness to be transparent, I have little chance to grow or to feel whole. It began and continues to be about me discovering my truth and having the courage to own it.
I believe this more now than I ever have, each photo that we take is about what we are processing, what we are feeling, what we are being. If you can concede to this notion and completely believe that each photo we take is about our own personal journey, what’s in us, then anything we see becomes a photo worth taking, a feeling worth expressing.
This 10 day course, You(r), will lead you, push you and I hope change you. I will walk you through the steps with daily information and prompts, encouraging you to find your truth and own your voice. While light on technique, we will be concentrating more on transparency, expression and that often needed space of vulnerability. We’ll come together in a private Facebook group and on Instagram, sharing through the hashtag #yourtruth2018—which will give us a togetherness and support. I’ll be there as well to provide supportive feedback—I’m in it with you.
You(r) eCourse will include:
- 10-days of prompts delivered each day, Monday through Friday.
- A private Facebook group that is your own safe space to share and support one another.
- Two live video chats from me within the private Facebook room.
- I will be in the Facebook room daily, answering questions, offering support and guidance.
My hope is that this course will touch and lead you to a place that gives you that truest vision for your own photography and self.
I'm still a huge work in progress—it's a part of the truest parts of me, but through photography and the photos I take—that quiet place that allows me needed pause in connection, I’ve had time to heal and to know that there’s not a moment in my life when embracing my frailties and all the thoughts that linger in those deep recesses do not bring me closer to whole. Through the vulnerability I’ve learned the ability to love the imperfections in all I see and most of all, in my own self.

Becca has been a Youth Matters client since May of 2018. Becca is a 16-year-old female that had been referred to Aspen’s Youth Matters Program by a school counselor. Becca has five siblings all under the age of 18. Two of her siblings are on the autism spectrum and require more support from Becca’s mother which has prevented her from providing adequate income for the family. Becca’s father was providing a steady income for the family, however in June of 2018 he was diagnosed with a debilitating illness. Due to his illness he has been unable to work.
Becca’s family had spent the latter part of 2018 struggling to pay for basic needs, utilities, and rent. The financial strain has impacted each member of the family greatly. Becca felt that she needed to take time off school to take care of her brothers and the infant in the home. If Becca took over her mother’s role in the home, her mother would be able to pick up more shifts during the week.
The Winter Breather Program was able to provide grocery support for Becca’s family for the month of December, allowing the family to pay their rent on time. Winter Breather also provided Becca’s family with utility support, this allowed Becca’s parents to put more money toward basic needs and rent. Winter Breather lessened the financial strain that was so deeply effecting Becca’s family.
Becca’s family has since been connected with more resources to assist in alleviating the financial strain.

Solar power may be on the rise, but you may not know everything there is to know about this fantastic energy option. If you are considering solar panels for your home or business, call the top Orlando installer of solar systems today.
Solar Panels are Recyclable
While solar panels typically maintain optimal performance for 30 to 40 years, it’s still good to know that you can recycle solar panels. Right now, you need to research to find a facility. Still, in the future, the growth of solar power will mean more recycling options for solar panels and components.
The Idea Behind Solar Dates to 1839
In 1839, Alexandre Edmond Becquerel proved the photovoltaic effect, which is the principle solar power operates on. However, it was a hundred years before someone turned this idea into the solar cells and panels you see on Orlando roofs with solar systems today.
Orlando Solar is Practical Year Round
Orlando averages 233 days of sunshine, which is above the national average and perfect for solar power. With a professionally installed system, you can take advantage of the free sunshine available in Orlando to power your home with green solar power.
The Cost of Solar is Much Less Today Than in the 1970s
How much do solar panels cost in Florida? Florida’s average cost of a solar panel installation ranges from $11,135 to $15,065. On a cost per watt ($/W) basis, a solar panel installation in Florida ranges in price from $2.23 to $3.01.
Residential Solar Panels Break Even Quickly
The average solar power system may cost thousands, but most homeowners see their system breakeven in under a decade. The average is eight years, and in Orlando, many owners of solar panels break even sooner. That means you can start making money from grid-tied panels sooner.
Solar Panels Work After Storms
One of the big Orlando misconceptions is how solar will handle the variety of storms the city sees. You do not need to worry as solar power systems installed by Spectrum Solar are rated for hurricane-force winds. You can even install a solar system that continues to work even if the Orlando power grid goes down.
People Used Solar Power Before the Development of Panels
Using the sun for energy is not a new concept, even though solar panels are. Historians have documented the use of the sun to start fires going back 2700 years. The idea of sunrooms and greenhouses goes back almost as far. The difference is that there was no simple way to store solar power for later use.
Solar Panels Do Not Need Direct Sunlight
One of the big myths that circulate periodically is that a cloudy day could leave you without power. However, clouds still let a lot of sunshine hit your solar panels. In fact, you may not notice a significant difference in how much energy your panels produce.

The lunacy is in the logic, not the desired outcomes.
I’m deeply interested in cities, so I found Amazon’s announcement of HQ2 quite interesting. As did every city leader and elected official in the country. The prospect of luring Amazon and 50,000 jobs had them salivating. After wiping their mouths and picking up their jaws, they quickly took to social media to proclaim their interest and qualifications. As I’m sure Amazon intended, the RFP generated enormous positive press and mass speculation, predicting and analyzing where HQ2 might end up.
The potential outcomes are tantalizing:
Talk about legacy-making stuff for an elected official. Every city should absolutely desire these outcomes, but at what cost? Second, and equally important, why did it take an RFP from Amazon to spur cities into these kinds of discussions?
For those people who say the incentives are just the cost of doing business in this situation, I say, $10B is just the cost of doing business? Early estimates, based on recent incentive packages for GE, Apple, Facebook, and FoxConn, project this deal could command between $9 billion-$11.5 billion incentive packages. That’s everything from land to infrastructure to tax abatement. That’s simply the incentive package, the price of admission. That doesn’t include any ongoing costs associated with all of the new infrastructure required. Notably, and one detail often not mentioned, deals that include tax abatement can negatively impact public school districts who rely on local taxes for funding.
And what about the cost of time? Presumably, 100 or so cities will spin their wheels and crank out responses to the RFP. This effort will include all kinds of creative accounting and justification and involve the most important people inside of these agencies, for an extended period of time. Cities are in the business of RFPs, so they should know better than anyone, if you find out about an RFP that day it’s released, you’ve got no chance at winning. That’s not how these things work. It’s inconceivable that Amazon hasn’t already spoken with the small number of places it’s interested in locating HQ2. No one, particularly a private company that has a history of being relentless in the pursuit of efficiency, wants to go through an RFP process.
A natural conclusion one might draw is that Amazon want to ensure that their preferred location(s) are truly providing the very best offer. There’s not better way to find out than creating a heralded competition between cities. Wouldn’t it be fascinating, in the spirit of open data, if every submission was public? Imagine if every elected official and city leader knew that the enormous package they were offering was going to be seen by everyone; competing cities and their local residents. How might that change the response?
Powerball jackpots are certainly one way to build wealth, however, I don’t know of many people whose primary strategy for obtaining wealth is buying Powerball tickets. Games of chance, particularly ones with very long odds, are generally met with proportionate effort. When that once-in-a-lifetime jackpot presents itself, we might buy a ticket, but we don’t abandon the plan we have in place. All of this Amazon hoopla got me thinking, do cities have explicit plans for adding 50,000 jobs over the next 20 years? Yeah yeah, I know every city wants to add jobs and every city has plans. What I am talking about is an explicit plan, that has all of the effort and energy and incentives cities are willing to give to Amazon, but dedicated to home-growing the same outcomes.
Thinking about adding 50,000 jobs is too hard to fathom. Let’s break it down to something easier to understand. What if one of these cities, instead of responding to the Amazon RFP, took that $10B and applied it to home-growing 1,000 new companies with 50 employees each? That would yield many of the same outcomes, but feels more like a day job and less like a Powerball ticket. In effect, we (city) are committed to enabling and retaining the next Amazon instead of racing to the bottom for the current Amazon.
I know a ton of startups that would accept any or all of the following benefits:
I’d also being willing to bet that any city who said, we will do whatever it takes to enable and recruit any company who has aspirations of starting or growing to 50 employees over the next 20 years, would generate sufficient press and likely have a flood of interest. I get it, building things from the ground up, particularly things that take a generation or more is hard. Comparatively, responding to an RFP (even when you know you can’t win) is really easy.
Just like Powerball, there will only be one lucky HQ2 winner. For the rest of you cities, what’s that wealth-building day job going to look like?
