In 1977, the USA banned the use of pesticides containing DBCP. The science was definitive: Sterilization. Cancer. Birth defects.
In spite of the ban and their prior knowledge, the Dole Food Company continued to spray the poisonous chemicals on its South American plantations.
Swedish filmmaker Fredrik Gertten stood up to Dole. His feature-length documentary Bananas!* captured the court case between the corporation and a handful of its Nicaraguan laborers. The movie laid bare the details of Dole's environmental and humanitarian abuses.
Dole took offense. Attempting to muzzle the documentary, the company hired a team of lawyers to sue Gertten and halt the distribution of the film. But as word got out, the Swedish people rallied behind the director's freedom of speech. Protecting Sweden's constitutional right to open expression, citizens noisily backed Gertten's entitlement to uncensored press. The public outcry caught the attention of the national government. Inspiring a unique screening in the country's parliament, Gertten's case united the Left and the Right. The Swedish people started to boycott Dole products.
"I'll tell you a funny story," Gertten told Adbusters from his US hotel room. "After the film came out, I was staying at a hotel in Stockholm – the biggest Nordic hotel chain. And they had Dole bananas for breakfast. So I took a picture with my cell phone and put it up on Twitter and Facebook. It took, I think, three hours. People started to tweet and call the company, and subtly they withdrew all Dole bananas all over the country. In every hotel. Whenever you see an unethical banana being sold or given away, you can just post it. People are suddenly so aware."
These acts were not part of a coordinated campaign – but they had wide-reaching effects. These potent local challenges forced Sweden's largest supermarket chains to question their allegiance to Dole products.
"The big corporate superstores have special people who analyze what's going on in the world," the filmmaker describes. "They know that politics can destroy their business. If there is a suggestion of some ingredient that causes cancer, or some new thing that's happened on the West Bank, for example, they are ready to move. This is what happened with the public response to Dole."
Bananas make up 1% of a supermarket's total sales. 1% is, as Gertten puts it, "a hell of a lot. It's a very lucrative business." As customers began to boycott Dole products, Swedish supermarkets saw their revenue slashed. Major chains threatened to withhold their business if Dole did not clean up its rotting public image. Some stores, like the Swedish hamburger chain "Max," cut ties to Dole altogether.
And it's about time.
For more than a century, Dole's corporate modus operandi has been exploitation, theft, environmental degradation, and sanctioned murder. Despite basing its international brand on "The Dawn of the Nutrition Age," Dole is a company whose founding family helped overthrow the Kingdom of Hawaii in favor of American sugar interests. It is a company that has, for more than a hundred years, consistently paid its foreign workers at the level of indentured servants. It is a company that has hired Colombian paramilitary groups to kidnap and execute labor leaders thought to be working against their corporate interests.
Dole got a bloody nose in Sweden. But the company continues to monopolize the universal market share. Now we need to take the Swedish response global. We need a worldwide boycott.
Grassroots activism inspired corporate change in one country. We can do it again internationally.

Disco Berlin
Berlin was a mixture of nu-rave and stilted stoicism. Past meets present. bleak history meets woooo let's go crazy. Next to Checkpoint Charlie there is a showroom for the Currywurst Museum, where you can buy a knitted Currywurst. And next to it going the other way is Trabiworld, where you can hire a Trabant that somebody has painted pink, and drive it around the city in a display of 'Hooray, I did not have to apply for this car and wait 17 years for it to arrive, before discovering it is made of cardboard!' defiance. Not really defiance actually, since you are allowed to do that in Berlin now. I think that a lot of Berlin is revelling in some sort of 'oh god, we're ALLOWED TO DO THIS NOW!' hangover that hasn't quite transformed into whatever it is the city is going to be now that it's not being covered in tanks and walls and things. One of the principle things I learned when I went there last month - the end half of 2015 - and went to the DDR Museum, which had been recommended to me by a friend as 'if you only go to one museum, go to that one' but actually turned out to deserve that cliche, was that the wall may have come down in 1990 or whenever, but it took longer than that to sort out the colossal mess that had been made of things. Reunifying Germany alone wasn't something that happened on a Tuesday before lunch. So I guess it wasn't surprising that 25 years later, things are all still a bit confusing there. And in the midst of all this confusion, a bunch of hipsters are throwing a party.
It is a bit confusing. There are neon stickers coating every lamppost and an abandoned Soviet-era theme park on the outskirts of the city has been opened up for the weekend - complete with the turning on of a Ferris wheel that is so old and unfit for purpose that it looks and sounds like something out of the Saw movies as it screeches to life - to host none other than a children's concert among the rotting fairground rides. Berlin has also chosen some unusual heroes. Currywurst (which looks worse than it tastes) is on every menu, even in those restaurants that have nothing to do with curry, or erm, wursts. The Ampelmann, which is the Berlin equivalent of our stop/go man at pedestrian crossings is so much of a hero that he has his own store. David Hasselhoff has signed his name on the inside of this shop, and I get so confused by all the devotion to a road symbol that I buy a tea towel and a pair of socks. And 2 fridge magnets. And a keyring.
Basically, Berlin doesn't really know what it is doing in life. It has made some mistakes and now it is trying to rectify the situation by making everything whimsical and fun. I don't really know what I'm doing in life either and so in celebration of this, I decided to make Berlin into DISCO BERLIN and here it is:
Having recently bought a new laptop and Photoshop Elements 13, I decided to make use of all the weird filters that come with it - the ones that make your photographs look supposedly like a painting and stuff. I don't know why anyone would want that but I think that my photos of this particularly place look better for not looking *quite* real. Maybe it's because my photos are terrible, or maybe it's just the nature of Berlin. Unreal is what I was going for anyway, in the absence of any better idea, and also because it seems to fit.
Most alarmingly whimsical about Berlin, or whimsically alarming maybe, was the presence of a showroom advertising The Currywurst Museum right opposite Checkpoint Charlie. Although really, what's more inappropriate - this, or hoards of American tourists eagerly photographing the spot where innocent people got shot at, essentially for attempting to cross the road? That's the part of Berlin that seems most unreal actually - imagining that stuff. Because that stuff happened not so long ago - in my lifetime. And I can't imagine anything quite so ridiculous as putting up a wall and telling a whole section of society that they cannot cross it. Probably needless to say, I didn't go visit the site of the old checkpoint, but I did learn pretty comprehensively about what happens to your mouth when you put a frankfurter covered in curry sauce and mustard powder in it.

Our babies are not so impressed with this RAINY FRIDAY :(
That means no going out...
So we baked blueberry & sweet potato galettes and carob & cottage cheese cookies to make them feel little better ;)
Luckily they are no complaining, and waiting for their treats to be cooled.
Hope everyone has a lovely Friday! ♥

How to Prepare for A Hurricane
Did you know that hurricane season spans from June — November? We're in the middle of it here in Florida and fortunately, it's been pretty mild for us so far. That said, it's extremely important to know what to do if and when a storm's heading your way.
Gather Information
Listen for updates from your local news station to see where the storm's heading and how it might impact you. Find out if you live in an evacuation area (usually near the water or area that floods easily). There are also some important phrases to know the difference between:
- Tropical storm warning: Strong winds are expected within 36 hours
- Tropical storm watch: Conditions are expected within 48 hours
- Hurricane categories 1–2: Strong winds ranging from 75–110 mph that can cause some/extensive damage
- Hurricane categories 3–5: Considered "major." Winds 111–157+ mph that will cause devasting/catastrophic damage.
Come Up With A Plan
If you need to evacuate, where will you go? Do you have pets to take care of (make sure they can come with you)? Make sure you also let friends and family know your plan so they know you're safe!
Stock Up On Supplies
If a big storm is coming your way, you'll have to consider that your power might go out. Here are a few key items to stock up on:
- 3-day supply of water (1 gallon per person, per day) and food (canned or boxed that doesn't require refrigeration or use of appliances)
- Flashlights + batteries
- First Aid Kit
- Tools/supplies to secure home
- Books + other non-electronic activities
Create A Hurricane Preparedness Kit
If you're evacuating your home, you'll want to pack a box filled with important documents and items dearest to you to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Examples of items include:
- Passports
- Birth, marriage, and/or adoption certificates
- Insurance policy information
- Mortgage/home and car titles
- Laptop and/or drives with your digital files and photos
Have you ever had to prepare for a hurricane? What tips do you have?

I have to admit I thought to myself how good could a pizza place be in Midtown...dangerously close to Times Square. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to say the least!
Not only is their pizza great but their regular menu items are also delicious, including their homemade desserts.
They're known for their wood fired pizza that cool in about 90 seconds. Angelo's has two pizza bases: the classic margarita and a white and then it's all up to you to build your own pizza with their quality ingredients. Each pizza is also topped with fresh basil!
I went for both bases...I mean go big or go home, right?! The first I tried was the white pizza with fresh garlic and broccoli. It wasn't overly cheesy, the garlic added a nice roasted flavor and the broccoli was my vegetable intake for the day!
For the Margarita base I topped it with prosciutto and and ricotta cheese. The prosciutto could've been a little crispier but the ricotta was so fresh and creamy. Not to mention the red sauce itself was simple and just perfect:
Don't forget to order the lasanga! Seriously, it was so good I couldn't stop my fork from going back in for more. Melty, cheesy top with nicely portioned pasta, meat, sauce and cheese on the inside. I ate this for leftovers the next day and it was still so good:
Their desserts are all homemade off-location and brought in to the restaueant. The cheesecake wasn't my favorite but the tiramisu was divine! And it was enormous--great for sharing (or not for sharing...!):
My true test of any restaurant is whether I'll go back again...and I'll be back to Angelo's for pizza and that lasanga any day!

I recently attended a China Business Training course hosted by NZTE, with two modules focusing on China readiness and market entry. Here are 10 takeaways from the day.
Read the NZ Inc China Strategyand China's 2011-2015 five-year plan.
Target cities. It's common knowledge now that you don't just talk about China as a whole market. It is made up of a number of cities all with different characteristics. Beijing is known for tradition, government, large universities and tourism, Shanghai as a modern, trendy, financial capital and Guangzhou as the main port of South China, Cantonese dominated, great food. It is likely that your competitors are already in these three cities so why not target a second tier city, for example Ningbo (lots of New Zealand interest in this city), Qingdao (has a port), Wuhan or Shenzhen? Many of them still have tens of millions of consumers. Your first entry should be a pilot in one of these smaller cities or regions.
Companies who fail in China try to cut corners, hire and overpay an unqualified local to run their China operations at arm's reach.
China ismodernising not westernising. China is not a developing economy, it is a re-emerging economy. In the 1800s China produced 25 percent of the world's industry output. The rise of communism and wars had a detrimental effect on the economy. However, now it is re-remerging at a rapid pace and will soon overtake the US as the largest economy. While you still might consider China as being a communist nation it is more accurate to described it as 'socialism with Chinese characteristics'.
Reported statistics about annual incomes in the Western world often don't reflect the truth. This is typically because job classifications or titles can be quite different or the full income is not reported. GMs can earn well over $300k. In addition, annual incomes are rapidly increasing for the lower end of the spectrum. The minimum wage is rising at 15 percent per year (more than inflation and economic growth). This is driving the movement of the poor into the middle class. They save 40 percent of their disposable income.
'It depends' is the answer to most situations. While there are rules, it is the 'rule of man' that dictates whether they are implemented or not. Contracts are regarded more as guidelines rather than a legally binding document. Terms are frequently changed following signing. It is not about right or wrong, just good and bad outcomes. Relationships are the basis of business.
Buy a flash pen. Hierarchy and status are critical to relationships in China. Sometimes its not what you're saying that is important. Your might need to change your title for China business (executive, director, vice president, global are favourably viewed. Everyone is a manager in China), upgrade your phone, buy a flash pen just for trips to China and be aware of seating (back to door = low in hierarchy).
Never cause someone tolose face. This requires a lot of self control and awareness of what you are saying. Simply asking someone "do you understand?" can have negative implications. Never put a senior person on the spot in front of their colleagues. If something is difficult in your business with your Chinese partner, something may have gone wrong with the relationship, and they will not tell you. Focus on solving the problem not asserting blame.
Negotiations and communications. Take people outside of the business and share your life to build trust. Chinese are more likely to have a more open discussion about the business details over dinner. Several meetings rather than one are favoured. Decisions are unlikely to be reached in the meeting. Bring gifts. Both companies need to win at the same time.
Packaging. Half of luxury goods are purchased as gifts. Chinese pay premiums for top in class packaging. Colours, letters, numbers, brand name are all important. Some wine actually retails for four times the normal price due to packaging.

Ernst Lubitsch
IDEA: A Russian woman is sent to Paris to ensure the transaction of some pricey Soviet jewelry goes through. While she's there, a kind Parisian count begins to break her tough exterior.
BLURB: Greta Garbo is hilariously poker-faced, then positively luminous, in this classic romantic/political romp, in which her stoic Soviet envoy and a trio of impressionable emissaries clash with the capitalistic ideals of the City of Light. Lubitsch directs with a typically light, playful touch, and thankfully that extends itself to the politics too. Not taking sides or easily antagonizing the Russians, his approach feels empathetically balanced, willing to jibe capitalism's more corrupting attributes against the already quite obvious shortcomings of communism. While the sociopolitical banter is happily blithe, if not slightly outdated, the dominant joys of Ninotchka come from Garbo's archly deadpan quips, so perfectly suited to her lips.

Imagine the horror: Government Boarding Schools Wherein we see that schools, which cannot teach difficult children, believes it can mold their character.
Education Secretary Backs Public Boarding Schools: 'Certain Kids We Should Have 24/7'
By Penny Starr
U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan spoke on May 12, 2015 st the National Summit on Youth Violence Prevention in Crystal City, Va. (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr)
(CNSNews.com) – Education Secretary Arne Duncan on Tuesday proposed the idea of public boarding schools, saying there are "just certain kids we should have 24/7."
"One idea that I threw out … is the idea of public boarding schools," Duncan said at the National Summit on Youth Violence Prevention in Crystal City, Va. "That's a little bit of a different idea–a controversial idea–but the question is do we have some children where there's not a mom, there's not a dad, there's not a grandma, there's just nobody at home?"
Never mind the ineffectiveness, imagine the expense. Come to think of it–expensive and ineffective–the perfect government program.
"There's just certain kids we should have 24/7 to really create a safe environment and give them a chance to be successful," he said.
The event, organized by the Education Department, the Justice Department, and other federal programs and agencies, featured speakers and panels on preventing youth violence.
Material distributed by the Centers for Disease Control's "Striving to Reduce Youth Violence Everywhere" states, "Youth violence is a public health crisis in the United States. Homicide is the third leading cause of death of young people, with an average of 16 youth murdered every day. More than 700,000 young peoples, ages 10 to 24, were treated in emergency departments for physical assault-related injuries in 2010."
Duncan said that schools should be more than a place for learning at the event.
"I think all of our schools should be community centers," Duncan said. "Our schools should be open 12, 13, 14 hours a day with a wide variety of after-school programming.
"Thankfully, in the vast, vast majority of communities around the nation, our schools are actually safe havens," Duncan said. "[There's] very little violence happening in schools.
"The vast majority is on the streets," Duncan said. "If we could keep our kids there longer, we think that makes a lot of sense."
However, according to a "fact sheet" from the federal National Center for Education Statistics, some 1.3 million students ages 12 to 18 faced "victimization" at school in 2012, including 89,000 "serious violent victimizations." The fact sheet also states that students faced more violence at school than away from school.
The fact sheet states: "In 2012, students ages 12–18 were victims of about 1,364,900 nonfatal victimizations at school, including 615,600 thefts and 749,200 violent victimizations, 89,000 of which were serious violent victimizations. The victimization rates for students in 2012 varied according to student characteristics.
"Between 1992 and 2012, the total victimization rates for students ages 12–18 generally declined both at school (from 181 to 52 per 1,000) and away from school (from 173 to 38 per 1,000). This pattern also held for thefts, violent victimizations, and serious violent victimizations," it stated.
"In 2012, a greater number of students ages 12–18 experienced victimizations (theft and violent crime) at school than away from school. That year, 52 victimizations per 1,000 students occurred at school, and 38 victimizations per 1,000 students occurred away from school," it stated.
The government must control to protect. Still skeptical.

Through the use of simple automated processes, the power of your business can be unleashed. Simple but smart technology can be used to speed up information flow, whether between your customers, departments, suppliers, inventory or assets data. The real value and potential of your valuable people can then be better utilised instead of burdened with unproductive administrative tasks.
Applying technology to a business is an excellent enabler. But without a business process, technology for technology sake can add additional costs and burdens.
Typically the most effective way is to examine an existing process, paying close attention to the way your people, customers or suppliers interact with each stage of the process. Ask questions as to why each stage of the process exists. "Why?". The dumber the better! Only then can you cut to the core of what is required to make up each business process.
So instead of replacing an inefficient business process with a cumbersome technology one, you have the added opportunity to streamline your business processes with a real smart technology solutions.
The real art of using technology is to make it simple. That's why the most effective and productive solutions come from the skill of working with technology experts, but who understand the human touch behind each business process. The end result is far simplistic and a more user friendly outcome.

Simple audio files found their way onto the Web in its earliest days. The problem with audio is that the files are generally quite large and may take a prohibitively long time to download. The introduction of streaming audio (files that play while they download) finally made quality audio and even live broadcasts distributed via web pages a reality.
Obviously, audio, even specialized for the Web, is a rich and complex topic that cannot be thoroughly treated in a single chapter of a Nutshell reference book. If you are interested in reading about all the ins and outs of creating professional-quality audio for a web site, there are many books that provide in-depth looks at developing audio for the Web (see the bibliography at the end of this chapter). There are also some fine tutorials in the multimedia section of the WebMonkey site (http://www.webmonkey.com/).

My Responsibilities
I will, to the very best of my ability, treat every student as an individual, providing a positive and enthusiastic atmosphere for learning.
Student & Family Responsibilities
Students agree to arrive at each lesson punctually, well-prepared, and with their assignment books and music. To make good progress, daily quality practice is necessary. I want you to completely understand every assignment; please ask questions.
If something is happening at home or school that is affecting your child please let me know. Please err on the side of letting me know more so I can be sensitive to the needs of your child.
All students are required (in as much as I am in a position to require) to participate at the two recitals we have each year: the Holiday Recital in December and the Spring Recital.
Students are strongly encouraged to have an acoustic or full digital, piano at home. Keyboards are not instruments – they are computers and, except for utilizing a keyboard for the first 90 days of lessons, they are not interchangeable as a replacement for a piano. You are making an investment in providing lessons for your child. A "real" piano maximizes that investment. Please see me for options in obtaining a piano – pianos are readily available at very low cost. I will be happy to advise you on this matter.
When students enroll, they are reserving their place in the studio for the entire year. Students are also expected to register for summer lessons – students lose momentum and skills developed through the school year when stopping for the summer. Stopping for summer forfeits the students spot on the studio schedule unless the time slot is paid for during the student's absence. The enrollment is a firm commitment and guarantees your place in the studio.
Tuition is factored as a yearly tuition divided into monthly installments. The tuition covers 40-42 billable lessons per year with the "off weeks" covering holiday breaks, vacations, occasional sick day, etc. Tuition does not change from month to month as the "off weeks" are already factored into the total number of lessons for the year. Please see Summer Scheduling Policy listed below under Cancellations heading.
The following are breaks included in the tuition schedule and are not subject to make-up lessons or tuition credit:
Thanksgiving week
Christmas and New Year Weeks
Spring Break
Memorial Day (the week leading up to or the week after depending on the calendar)
The 2 weeks leading up to Labor Day (lessons for the new school year commence the day after Labor Day).
Absence for attending festivals, competitions, and other performances with students (ex. MAMA or Scholarship Auditions)
The monthly tuition installment is due before, or at, the first lesson of the month. Tuition payments received after the 10th of the month are subject to a $25.00 late fee.
What Tuition Covers
Tuition covers not only the actual lesson time spent with the student, but the time preparing for each student as well.
This includes
• An individualized plan for each student's course of study
• Written progress reports for each child upon request or conference
• Development of teaching materials
• Training and experience
• Recital, event, and competition preparation and repertoire planning
• Professional affiliations
• Music library
Registration Fee
Each student pays a yearly registration fee of $50.00 which is due with the September tuition for returning students or at the time of enrollment for new students. For families with more than one enrolling child, the fee will be $35.00 for the second, and each additional, child. This pays for the Student Assignment Book, copy and printing expenses as well as the time spent doing things that apply to your child besides actual teaching: lesson plans, goal planning, enrollment in special events, recitals, scheduling, bookkeeping, and time spent on emails and telephone calls. NOTE: after April 15, and before September, the Registration fee will be $30 to cover the Assignment Book and planning. Full Registration fee will be due in September for the following school year.
Incentive Programs
There are several incentive programs in the studio which encourage students to meet their practice and technique goals. These programs include: Practice and Piano Goals Sticker Chart, Most Improved Hand Position and Technique Awards, and the prizes and trophies earned through the many special evaluative performance opportunities that are held throughout the year.
Cancellation Policy
Any lesson that I have to cancel will be made up or a credit will be given on the next month's billing.
No payment credit will be provided for students who miss lessons for any reason. Make-up lessons will be offered if time is available for honest cases of illness, dangerous winter weather, or catastrophic emergency. Remember, tuition is set to pay for 40 lessons which means there are, depending on scheduling up to 12 weeks every year that are "off" – in most cases those are not depleted by breaks or student absences so most "off weeks" are already factored into the schedule.
Try to choose a lesson time in which you feel confident. Please understand that the tuition you pay reserves an exclusive weekly time in my schedule for your child. Unlike many service professionals, I cannot resell that time nor can I create extra teaching time in which to give lessons.
The studio has two recitals per year. It is very important to prioritize these performance opportunities. Learning to share their music is one of the factors that drive students to be motivated to progress. The benefits in self-confidence, poise, maturity, and achievement are enormous. Inasmuch as I can, the studio requires recital participation. I feel very strongly–adamantly– that it is a vital component in the program I am working with your child and that their work must be respected and honored. Non-participation in recitals, depending on circumstances, will result in forfeiting your child's enrollment in the studio. Students must arrive, punctually, at the designated time, before the recital begins or they will not be allowed to perform.
Recital attire: while not requiring formal dress, recitals are a special occasion where the students are presenting themselves and their work. Dress should be within the context of "nice occasion dress". No jeans, casual shorts or cut-offs, flip-flops, casual tee-shirts
If the need should arise that you must exit or enter the recital hall while the program is in progress, wait to open the door until the student performing has completed their playing and you hear applause.
Parents and guests are expected to stay for the entire program. There are, only, 2 of these programs per year and appropriate plans should be made. Children notice people coming and going and it can have a detrimental effect on a child's concentration and performance. Please give EVERY child the same level of courtesy, and respect that you expect for your child. Because of the impact on the students, I must remain firm on these policies. Non-compliance or cooperation with this policy will forfeit your child's enrollment in this studio. For any special circumstances, please see me in advance.
Studio Guidelines
Please do not ring the doorbell. If a lesson is scheduled, I will be expecting you – please come directly in.
If a lesson is in progress upon your arrival, please make as little noise or disruption as possible so as not to disturb the student at the piano.
Students and parents, please wait, quietly, in my family room which is the designated waiting area. Children should not wander through the house or explore cupboards or shelves in the kitchen.
During the time that I am working with your child, please allow my full attention to be on the lesson and my interaction with your child without parental or sibling distraction.
Students – no texting or phone calls during lessons – cell phones and other electronic devices should be OFF in the studio.
No food, gum, or drink is allowed at, or near, the piano.
Please bring books, notebooks, and all additional instructional materials to lesson.
Nails should be trimmed and maintained short enough to allow for the development of optimal hand position.
The front door must be closed – do not stand in the open door or run in and out leaving the door open.

What is it?
We help teams set up a Meeting Management Office (MMO), an internal committee that sets standards, supports training and tools, and ensures adoption of simple, effective techniques for creating agendas and facilitating meetings.
Who is it for?
Any team or organization seeking to completely transform the way meetings are run to push for better results.
Teams/organizations looking to create a better work environment and culture for their members.
What makes it unique?
Organizations have groups to manage IT, HR, and other shared services, but no company we're aware of has a group focused on improving meetings, even though meetings are most employees largest daily time commitment, and consistently one of the largest sources of frustration on employee engagement surveys. We help organizations improve meeting productivity and reduce the negative cultural impacts of poorly run meetings.
How is it delivered?
Our delivery involves three stages:
We begin by identifying the champion(s) to collaborate with on the initiative. Then we analyze your current meeting environment and develop best-practices, policies, and standards. A strategy is created for the roll out with metrics we can use to measure success.
Ongoing support to optimize meeting standards, policies, and processes.
Build the capabilities of the Meeting Management Office™ members to support the organization after the engagement ends.

Q: I see you are based in The Cotswolds what about travel fees for my project outside of that area?
A: I am more than happy to work throughout the UK. Subject to individual shoot requirements and your flexibility I can shoot just about anywhere at a price comparable to hiring a local photographer.
Q: Can I expect my photographs to look like the work on your website?
A: Absolutely. It does not matter if your project is a large commercial property or a single exterior view you will always get my best work. The images in my portfolio represent a range of assignments, both large and small, and a wide range of budgets.
Q: How do you charge for your photography?
A: I will bid your job by the hour, day or project whichever you are most comfortable with. The basic consideration is always the same: how much time will I need to do this project right? After a brief discussion I will be able to give you a firm quotation for your project in a format to suit your needs.
Q: Do you charge extra for image usage?
A: When I create a photograph for you it is yours to use as you see fit. You are only limited in your ability to re-sell or transfer usage to a third party, and even that is negotiable.
Q: Do you shoot film or digital format, and why?
A: Having used film for many years I made a complete switch to digital format in 2006. Quite simply, I can produce a better image digitally than I ever could on film. I have infinitely more control over colour, contrast and detail with digital format.
Q: What equipment do you use?
A: For most of my work I use a Nikon D3s & D700 FX full format camera bodies, with a selection of professional lenses including the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 ultra wide angle, Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8, Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8, Nikon 24mm f/3.5 Perspective Control and Nikon 50mm f/1.8 lenses.
Q: What software and techniques do you use?
Controlling exposure is key to successful interior and exterior architectural photography, which is often not possible to achieve in certain circumstances without employing the use of expensive supplementary lighting systems. I specialise in a technique called High Dynamic Range photography, which involves combining multiple exposures in post-production. This results in images, which are closer to reality than a single exposure could achieve, and also eliminates the cost to you of bringing in additional equipment.
As well as specific High Dynamic Range software used to combine exposures I use the latest version of Photoshop and Lightroom to manage and process the images. This is particularly useful for perspective control, which is one of the key issues with producing professional quality images of structures.
You will see from the galleries on this site that I also have an interest in creating images that can become pieces of art for all tastes.
However I do not rely on software and manipulation as a substitute for getting it right the first time. However, when shooting conditions are less than ideal I can offer you a selection of digital solutions that will save an otherwise impossible shoot.
Q: What is your background?
A: Photography was always a hobby and a passion for me as I grew up. My professional training is in Architecture, Design, Building Surveying and Construction Project Management. This combined with the photography skills developed (excuse the pun) over many years gives me a unique insight into looking at the world of the built environment. It enables me to better understand the needs of individual clients whether they be building designers, building managers or building owners.
As well as producing images for presentational purposes I have the understanding and expertise to carry out full technical photographic surveys of buildings for defect recording purposes, building manuals or indeed during construction.
Q: Do you only take shots of buildings?
A: Whilst architecture is my main interest and area of expertise, I am always happy to undertake work in other areas. If asked to do so and I feel it is better suited to others I will be the first to say so and direct you elsewhere.
Q: Why have I not come across you before?
A: I have returned home to England at the start of 2011 where I now wish to develop my business further having worked in the USA where my work has been on sale (and will explain the number of images on this site that were taken there). Since returning to the UK my client base has expanded and strengthened with a larger proportion of repeat business. The majority of which has been obtained by word of mouth recommendation.
Q: What if I do not like the shots?
A: I guarantee my work, and your satisfaction. No excuses, just great photographs.

So, I love me some fresh herbs. And if you cook with them as often as I do (which isn't even that much) you realize how expensive they can be to purchase from the grocery store.
Last year I bought an Aerogarden. Fresh herbs all year long with minimum work on my part? It was a definite win. But then my plants outgrew their tiny little garden, and I hated being limited to just 7 varieties. Granted, I mostly use basil, and my cat, Pippin, ate my chives before they even had a chance to grow, but I knew I needed to expand.
Thanks to pinterest, I got the idea to make a backyard container garden. And to make it even easier, I would make it a hanging portable one. This way, I can easily take the plants inside for the winter, or bring them with me when (starting to feel like if) I move out.
I found an ancient screen door in my garage, and knew right away what I wanted. I had the vision in my head, and last weekend (to take a break from book editing) I went to work executing my plan! Here was what I did to make it, so you can be inspired to make one yourself.
Saturday evening, I went to Home Depot to get the herbs for my garden. I wanted to grow them from plants rather than seeds, to avoid any disasters from my lack of green thumb. I also went to the moulding section and had a guy cut some simple wood moulding into 25″ sections, which was the width of my door frame. I got some screws and some little hooks too.
I propped the doorframe up on some bricks after my mother yelled at me for drilling directly on the porch, and I drilled two pilot holes on each side of the crossbar.
Then I switched out the drill bits and screwed the moulding to the doorframe.
Here are my buckets! I knew from the beginning I wanted an eclectic collection of metal buckets and watering cans, and luckily, Michaels had exactly what I wanted. I added a few buckets that I got at Target, and began modifying them to become planters. Holes were drilled into the bottom of them all for drainage, and more were drilled into thicker handles or ones without handles, so that I could hook them onto the door.
I fitted the drill with a smaller bit, and drilled more pilot holes along the horizontal wood beams.
Hi plants!
I placed the plants into the buckets and moved them around to see which ones would best suit each container, then I planted them and hung them on the little metal hooks that I screwed into the pilot holes.
Here is the finished garden! I leaned it against the back of my house, and it's light enough that I can pick it up and move it if it's getting too much or too little sun. I made plant markers out of clothespins.
The whole project took me about two hours, and cost around $120, though you could make it for a lot cheaper if you use less expensive buckets. For example, the one on the bottom left, with the cilantro in it, cost me $1 dollar at Target. The one next to it, with the out of control mint, was probably around $5. So it's up to you how much you want to pay for your containers.
Eventually I'll stain the whole thing so it isn't two-toned, but for now, I've got other things to do.
Like enjoy the weather with my kindle and my hammock. And relax, because I just published another book!

Bacon Escape on PC. The little piggy is up to no good, but what did he do, well apart from casual tasks like, going to the market, staying home, the little piggy escape from the prison and ran for his life. But let's talk about the title, I was first thinking why the Bacon, why not the Piggy word instead, then I realized, that Bacon actually comes from the Pig itself. And most probably the word bacon is searched on a higher scale than the word Pig, so it would be better to generate popularity to use the word bacon instead of Pig. But whatever the title is, this game takes you to 24 different levels each with its own unique obstacles and perks, providing you an amazing challenge in every level you play. Your job is to help the Piggy reunite with his animal friends and to do that you must escape from the Prison and help him in all the obstacles.
Bacon Escape on PC not only brings the Piggy to you but also many other animals that you can unlock in the game, and your goal is simple, help all of the animals reunite with their animal friends in the animal kingdom. You have more than 30 characters to play with but every character you'll choose the goal remains the same. The one-touch controls give you more than enough to help your character, but as soon as you proceed further, the game gets tough. All sort of obstacles is there for you to overcome, make sure to ride your way out of all of them before the law enforcements get their hands on you.
Install Bacon Escape On PC:
Seems like you got no other than to try iPadian, the only emulator to run an iOS app, so download it. Once it is downloaded, install it and then you just need to log-in using your current Apple ID or sing up a new account, otherwise, you won't be able to use the App Store. Once you are all configured and ready to go, click the search bar and enter Bacon Escape and press enter. You'll be displayed the results only if the application is available on the App Store. Otherwise, you can just Booo! them and get back to your regular routine. Assuming the app is available, tap the Free button which reveals the download pressing which will install it. Once the installation is over and the game is installed, go back to the main menu, look for the game icon and start playing the game.

CSF 3-core TJ Radiator Install
We'd never had any cooling problems with the TJ, so it wasn't until the top tank of the radiator actually started leaking that I realized there was a problem. The upper and lower tanks on the TJ radiator are plastic and are clamped onto the metal radiator, and as a result they're notorious for leaking at the seams once the Jeep nears 30K miles. If you frequent online discussion forums for TJs you probably already know about the issue with the plastic tanks, so I wasn't too surprised when our started leaking… what did surprise me though was what I saw leaking out.
definitely NOT what you want to see
when you pop the radiator cap.
Since our TJ had yet to roll 30k on the ticker I really hadn't given the radiator and coolant much thought… but apparently age had taken its toll and the 5 year old coolant had started to corrode the innards of the radiator (at least I hope the rust was from the radiator).
After draining the now brown coolant out it was time to flush the motor. I used used a Prestone t-fitting flush kit, but instead of permanently mounting the t-fitting in the heater hose, I got a new section of heater hose and just temporarily plumbed in the new fitting and section of hose for the flush then took it out when I was done.
Based on reputation and recommendations, I opted to go with a 3-core radiator by CSF. A quick call to our friend Dirk at DPG OffRoad had a shiny new CSF on its way to us.
With the nastiness flushed out I could set about installing the new radiator. To start with disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses (more fluid will probably drain out that lower hose, so watch out) and pop the overflow tank off the fan shroud.
Then unbolt the fan shroud from the radiator using a 7/16″ wrench and push the shroud back over the fan. With the help of some socket extensions, remove the 7/16″ bolts that hold the radiator to the body. Air tools are handy here, but my camera didn't want to fully cooperate on where to focus.
You can see where the top tank had been leaking down the right side of the radiator.
While I was working on the cooling system, I figured I'd go ahead and change the thermostat for good measure. It was a good thing too, looks like some gunk was hiding up in there as well (apparently the flush hadn't gotten everything out).
After some cleaning and scraping, the motor was clean and the new thermostat was in place. You'll want to have a good, sharp scraper, and take care not to get debris in the motor. I like to use a little dab of RTV to hold the thermostat in place, it makes life a bit easier when you go to put the housing back on.
You'll want to make sure you've got a new thermostat housing gasket on hand, they usually run about $2 or less from most local auto parts stores. To help make sure I had no leaks, I smeared some RTV gasket maker on there too.
Unlike with XJ radiators, you can
see the cores on a TJ radiator.
So here's the new 3-core radiator from CSF. One of the nice things about the CSF unit is that the tanks on the top and bottom are metal and are fully bonded to the radiator, unlike the clamped-on plastic tanks of the stock radiator. The fittings on the bottom are used if you've got an automatic transmission.
If you've got AC, you'll need to pull a plate out of the right side of the CSF radiator.
Bolt the radiator back on the body, bolt the fan shroud to the radiator, connect the hoses back to the radiator, snap the overflow bottle back onto the fan shroud, fill 'er up, and you should be ready to go!
I actually did this install back in December of 2005, and the CSF radiator has been working just great ever since. No signs of corrosion, leaking, or coolant gunk, and engine temps stay right where they shoud be. If you're in the market for a new radiator for your TJ, or any Jeep for that matter, I'd highly recommend a 3-core unit from CSF. In fact, when the GDI radiator in our XJ died half-way up a trail during a wheeling trip in November 2006, we replaced it with a 3-core CSF as well (ordered it from Dirk right there on the trail, haha!).

Author: Boeta Moosa Patel (Snr)
So many family histories have been lost to present and future generations, because we fail to keep a proper record of what older people tell us about the past. When I was recently requested to give a brief talk about my own father, many of those present remarked that they knew absolutely nothing about their own grandfather or great-grandfather. Then my brother asked me to find out about the history of somebody else in Paarl, who passed away about fifty years ago. This gave me the idea about contacting my wife's aunt in Cape Town, who celebrated her 99th birthday on 9 February 2009. This grand lady had a crystal clear mind about the past and what I am about to reveal in the following pages, is chiefly due to her recollection of the past and her patience with the questions that I posed during my visit to her. The lady that I am referring to is none other than Hadja Jamiela Mohammed, fondly known to us as Auntie Myla, the sister of my late father-in-law.
I started off by requesting to know about her own roots, which, incidently would also be the roots of my wife and our own children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, etc. I was quite amazed that she could remember names and places in such detail. She herself was born in Paarl on 9 February 1910. She was part of a very large family. She attended a primary school on the eastern side of the Berg River, while residing in the Ou Tuin area. Her principal at that school was Mr Matthews. In 1917 the Paarl Moslem School was built adjacent to the Breda Street Mosque. This school was originally erected as a Madrassah. The Ustaad, who taught them Islamic and Arabic lessons, was Imam Abdul Gakiem Gamieldien, fondly known as Imam Kiemie. It was here that Aunty Myla developed her fondness for the Qur'an.
Boeta Gamat "Asma" Abrahams & Sis Gabieba (nee Anter)
In 1930, at the age of 20, Auntie Myla married Boeta Umar Abrahams, the son of Boeta Gamat "Asma" and Auntie Gabieba Abrahams. Boeta Mogamat Abrahams was a tailor, who was born in Cape Town. His adopted father was Khaliefa Mansoer of Cape Town. Boeta Gamat's tailoring brought him to the humble town of Paarl, because there were so many tailors among the Muslims of Cape Town, that competition was rife. The young man would meet his wife in Paarl and the destiny of his offspring would be sealed by this move to the country town.
The late Boeta Gamat would in later years become known as Gamat Asma. Even his daughter-in-law, Aunty Myla, to this day cannot recall why he was given this nickname. I even ventured to ask her whether he suffered from asthma, and she laughingly denied this as a reason for the nickname. Boeta Gamat's wife, was a very good looking young lady from the large Anter family. Her name was Gabieba. She could make the most delicious koeksisters. She had many brothers, such as the late Esa, Bakaar, Moosa, Abdurahman (Manie), Sulaiman. Most of them were tailors themselves. This could be the reason how the young couple became known to each other. Their sisters were Gabeba, Gadija, Rukeya and Koebera.

Wanna Go To Space?
When we decided to start pushing into Virtual Reality (VR), it was with the perspective and hope that some stories are better told in VR than in a traditional filmic manner. The question soon became, what are those stories and how do we actually execute on them?
After many months of hard work, talented team members, and an unflagging dedication to making a "stellar" piece, we couldn't be happier to announce that Chorus Films has just completed our first major immersive VR content featuring renowned theoretical physicist, David Kaplan, for Quanta Magazine.
Come by and see it in person with a headset, I promise you: it's badass.

Biff and Baff's great adventure
date: 8-12-99
Biff and Baff slipped out of their basket one night at the Doll's House Museum. They scampered about sheet metal streetscapes, antebellum rowhouses with working candles, and rode the elevators of a mexican villa. Suddenly the museum opened. They froze, hoping nobody'd notice. "Look Daddy," the little girl said, "The mouse puppets are only $5."
