Apollo 13 - "Houston, we have a problem." Living Legends of Aviation Awards - 2011 (Jim Lovell)

Many Hollywood and aviation celebrities gathered for the 8^thannual Living Legends of Aviation Awards at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. This event, which by many is considered “the Oscars of Aviation” is all about recognizing and honoring individuals with great and significant contributions to the field of aviation.

With the challenges for the aviation industry of recent years, this event plays an important role, not only to recognize individuals with great achievements as aviators and entrepreneurs, but also to highlight everything that is made possible through the work of aviation. This includes humanitarian efforts, rescue operations and the role of aviation in enabling commerce to take place.

Rather than just being a “star studded” event, many Hollywood and Aviation celebrities are passionate about aviation and attend this gathering to help pushing the message of keeping the dream of flight alive and to make it real to people that aviation is not just something for a few select individuals but plays an important role in today’s society.  

The current 70 people who are now part of the Living Legends of Aviation are people of remarkable accomplishments, in aviation. Members include entrepreneurs, innovators, industry leaders, record breakers, astronauts, pilots who are now celebrities and celebrities who have become pilots.

John Travolta, the Ambassador of Aviation is himself a Legend of Aviation and started flying at the age of 17. He presented the newest Inductee Mr M Laurent Beaudion, the CEO of Bombardier with his award. His accomplishments to bring aviation forward are nothing short of remarkable.

Sean Tucker, the award emcee, always has an enthusiasm for aviation that is contagious to anyone he gets in contact with. From a reliable source, and from what I have seen with my own eyes, he is probably the greatest aerobatics pilots currently flying at air shows – a true professional in his field.

Actors and Pilots Harrison Ford and Kurt Russell gave out several recognitions at the event. Harrison Ford has done a remarkable job to introduce people and our youth to flying and is a great proponent and spokesman for aviation.  Awards included the “Aviation Legacy Award” given to Pat Epps, Atlanta, Georgia. Captain “Sully” Sullenberger awarded Captain James Lovell, Apollo 13 Commander, the “Captain Cool Award”. Sully mentioned that the only thing he really had in common with Mr. Lovell was that they both landed in water, but on the other hand, Mr. Lovell was supposed to!  Buzz Aldrin was in attendance as well, the second person to put a foot on the moon.

It’s not about the shoes
It’s about knowing where you’re going
not forgetting where you’ve started
It’s about having the courage to fail
Not breaking when you’re broken
taking everything you’ve been given
and making something better

It’s about work before glory
And what’s inside of you
it’s doing what they say you can’t

It’s not about the shoes
It’s about what you do in them
It’s about being what you were born to BE!

"Everybody has a Story to Tell" with Dave Irish - Singer and Songwriter

 

Dave writes virtually all of his music, with the exception of the occasional hymn that he arranges in a style uniquely his own. He is equally comfortable performing alone-just him and his piano-with another accent instrument like a cello, or with his full band. His goal is to work in the ministry context to which his host is accustomed. Dave’s music can be utilized in a variety of ways, here are a few:

- Concerts
- Guest Worship Leader
- Special music that reinforces the theme of a church service
- Special Events-Retreats

Having recorded one CD per year since 1994, Dave hopes to continue recording and exploring new avenues in his music. He is committed to excellence, without sacrificing heart centered ministry Dave and his wife Nancy were married in 1983 and have two daughters, Breanna and  Jess.

A life of worship
Dave uses his music to express his life’s devotion of giving respect and honor to God through His Son, Jesus Christ. His unique expression has touched thousands of lives around the world. His divinely inspired songs are refreshingly honest and transparent, born from a lifelong effort to forge a truth-filled relationship with his Savior, Lord, and Friend. Just as King David’s music brought praise to God and comfort to troubled hearts, so the music of Dave Irish has proven to do the same (1 Samuel 16:22-23)

Financial Policy
Full-time support for Dave’s family comes from his ministry. It’s set up as a nonprofit 501-c3. He has a board of directors who have determined his salary. He’s chosen not to charge a fee for his services. Instead, his compensation for an event is at the discretion of the church or sponsor featuring him.

Below is a recent sample of just a handful of the hundreds of churches and organizations that Dave has blessed with his ministry over the years.

A Revolutionary Business Networking Mobile Application - UNSOCIAL

Multimedia Campaign Produced by: Mindshift Media in Association with STVP

Social networking is a fast growing field dominated by giants. Companies like Facebook, Linkedin and Foursquare have proven how important social networking can be. By connecting users to the people they know, these companies have supplemented the natural network of friends most people have. This proven formula has a challenger though. The appropriately named Unsocial just became the first social networking application that does not care who your friends are. 

Instead, it focuses on connecting users to people they should know. The idea is fairly simple. Unsocial is a smart phone app for Iphone, Android and Blackberry that broadcasts a users personal brand, who they are and what they do to the people around them. The goal is to connect people in related fields. In essence, it introduces you to all the people you should know but don’t. Unsocial launched their groundbreaking application on October 18 at this years Discovery Beat in San Francisco.

For those not in the know, Discovery Beat is an annual meeting of the biggest and most influential app developers. The goal is to find that secret recipe for app discovery and help make new contacts in the industry. Unsocial took discovery beat by storm. 

They were the official conference app of Discovery Beat, and they have been riding the wave of good press ever since. Their app has already garnered praise from the likes of Mashable.com, which said, “It makes locating people at the same event who share similar interests less of a hassle. You can also send notes via the app without having to give away any private info until you know you want to make a connection.”  

http://mashable.com/2010/10/18/unsocial-mobile/

Unsocial has also had favorable mentions from Tech Crunch, which said Unsocial is, “ideal for large conferences or similar events where attendees have a limited amount of time to identify high-value contacts”. The newly launched app even got a mention in The New York Times. All this good press is even more amazing, given that Unsocial is only currently available in San Francisco, New York and more cities soon to come! 

With the developers promising to bring more cities online soon people are almost certainly going to hear a lot more about Unsocial in the future. When this app becomes available globally, a morning commute could become the perfect networking opportunity. Packed trains, busses and subways will become something other than just an inconvenience, they will be the social networking equivalent of speed dating. With so many possibilities, Unsocial is poised to revolutionize the business world and bring a whole new dimension to the social network.
