This blog started as my movie marathon — watching a movie a day for a whole year — and has continued as a place for me to write reviews about movies, TV, and various other items.
This is still a work in progress as I migrate from my old platform at Tumblr. For now, you can still access the whole backlog of posts there at http://reelmatt.tumblr.com
A pair of aging stickup men try to get the old gang back together for one last hurrah before one of the guys takes his last assignment — to kill his comrade.
Year 3, Film #39
THE REVIEW: What makes Stand Up Guys a funny and enjoyable film also makes it slow and tiresome. There really isn't much more to the film than Val (Al Pacino) and Doc (Christopher Walken) going out all over the city to celebrate Val's parole. The catch is, Doc is tasked to kill Val because he killed the boss' only son on a job 28 years ago; the same job that got Val tossed in prison.
Going off the story, there isn't much that's special about the film. It's a simple buddy comedy that goes through the paces to an inevitable ending. Nothing is surprising and nothing really blows you away. You're just pushed along, scene-to-scene, waiting to see where these old men go next. The very minor "twists" that are thrown in — who is Alex (Addison Timlin), how about Nina (Julianna Margulies), and what is Richard's (Alan Arkin) secret talent? — make you say, "Hmm, that's interesting," but not much more.
But while I'm making this sound like a pretty horrible and boring film, it really isn't, and that's all thanks to the actors. If this film was cast with anyone other than Walken, Pacino, and Arkin, it mostly likely would have fallen flat and been as boring as I described above (Clint Eastwood might have made a good substitution). These three carry the film to places that are new and exciting. It's like watching two friends (Alan Arkin comes in more than halfway through the film) being themselves and having a good time. It's old-people humor that appeals to a larger demographic.
There are two disclaimers I need to make though: 1) old-people humor is definitely my cup of tea, so I might be a little biased in that respect; and 2) laughter was definitely very intermittent. I can count the number of times I laughed on both my hands, which, when compared with other recent comedies I've seen is embarrassingly few. Although I do have to give credit where's it due, the handful of times I did laugh, I laughed pretty hard.
THE RATING: 3 out of 5

The day you drove
Over my heart, I tried
To pick it back up. I wanted
To rush it to the party
Store and have the clerk fill
it up with helium; I wanted
it fixed better than fix-a-flat
Could do. I wanted you –
to drive in reverse. Reverse
Time; go back up the road
And uncrush that organ-
Mop up its guts
Like a time-machine
Vacuum – but the party
Store is closed now, and
The car you drive seems
To have no gear marked
with an R. You kept
Moving forward,
And I grabbed the snow
Shovel out of the shed.

Good news! The recruiter just called, saying that you have been scheduled for an interview with the boss. Now, that is understandably nerve-racking, knowing that if you ace this interview, your whole life will go in the right direction.
But do not let the excitement and anxiety overwhelm you. Calm down now and think of the ways you can do good and well at the interview. If you are feeling lost right now, do not worry! Some tips can help you ace that interview. Here are some of them:
Your Aura
Your look and vibe can make or break the interview. Remember, people judge others based on their looks. So you must make sure that you are looking your best at the interview. What you need to do is invest in a good suit or dress and a pair of shoes. Take care of your skin and get that neat haircut. You will smile a lot, so you should make sure that you undergo teeth whitening in Paddington.
The Interview Proper
Questions are the heart of the interview so you should know how to answer them correctly. Know the job you are applying for and get an inside scoop from your friend who is already working for them. You may also want to research about your interviewer and get a feel how he grills or asks questions.
To gain confidence, you need to come prepared. So practice. Practice answering questions. You can ask your friend to pretend like an interviewer. And while you are at it, you might want to avoid some words and fillers that may make you look unprofessional and unassured.
These are just some of the things that can help you ace that job interview. After that, make sure that you shake hands with the boss. Not too tight, okay?

A travel guide to climb Mount Fuji
By Binod - February 03, 2018
I was thrilled with the love and respect of Japanese people for Mt Fuji. Plus the enthusiasm in people of different age group to climb it was something new to see.
Mt Fuji (3776m) has been a source of inspiration for Japanese artists and public, it is worshiped by people here. It is an active volcano that last erupted around 300 years ago.
It was added to World Heritage site as cultural site on 22nd of June 2013 as it has much cultural influence than natural.
It was added to World Heritage site as cultural site on 22nd of June 2013 as it has much cultural influence than natural.
Last week I climbed Mt Fuji aka Fuji San with few friends, it is the tallest mountain of Japan. By the way that's me on the top. What a wonderful moment that was.
Some when, how to get there and what to take.
The official climbing season is between July and August. These two months are the hottest in Japan with maximum temperature around 40 degree Celsius but the temperature at the peak is still around 0. Off season climbing is too dangerous as the temperature can drop up to -40 Degree Celsius.
Climbing begins from the fifth base station kawaguchiko but you wont' get direct train, you have to take bus from the nearest station. If you are around Tokyo then you can take direct bus from Shinjuku (In front of Yodobashi Camera), it takes 140 min and will cost around ¥ 2500. If you are travelling in a personal vehicle take Chuo Express Highway from Sinjuku.
You can climb Mt Fuji during day as well as in night, I climbed during night. No matter the climbing season is summer its windy/cold up there day and night, you will notice the temperature change from the 5th base station.
- Take wind-cheater , warm cap, gloves and a raincoat
- good trekking shoe
- sun-blocks , sunglasses
- flash light, head light
- toilet paper, remember you have to pay ¥100/¥200 every-time you use toilet.
- you can buy trekking stick at souvenir shop in kawaguchiko
- Carry around 2 litre of water, you can buy it on the way too but the price goes double or triple.
One cup noodle that costs around ¥ 150 in stores will cost you ¥ 400 on the way. You can take bento or chocolate for calories. You can buy portable oxygen if you feel difficulties in breathing.
Remember: There are no dust bins at/from 5th station, so you have to carry all your litter with you to the top and all the way back to base station and carry it with you on your way back to home .
I took bus from Sinjuku, it took me 140 min, I started climbing at 19:00. I was at the top by 04:00. So it took me 9 hours including rest. Remember that it was a night trip, watching sunrise is one of the main attraction there so be there by 0400 if you are planning so. It was summer holiday so there were hundreds of people which caused heavy traffic.
|A view of amusement park with Mt Fuji in the background.
I was surprised to see number of people climbing the mountain, I had to wait many time in queue to move ahead. It was always a nervous moment seeing people getting altitude sickness, some of them vomited, while most of them had nose bleeding. Small kids who were too tired were crying holding their parents. Climber were encouraging each other by saying Gambarimas (Try Hard, keep moving). So be careful, move with your own pace and take frequent rest through out the journey.
|Headlight of climber
On the way to the top you can enjoy the panoramic view, you will notice a lake, dense forest of Fuji conservational area, some wild animals if you are lucky enough and beautiful stars, I recommend you to stop and enjoy the scene, never try walking and watching at the same time.
Luckily there are shops in every 1-2 hours where you can buy drinks and food. You can there sleep if you are too tired, but they charge almost triple. Although no one is assigned to check but every time after using toilet climber are supposed to donate ¥100/¥200.
|A shop at the summit.
I pushed myself to the top, I climbed first mountain in my life, when I reached there the moment was emotional.
Temperature was freezing and the cold wind was making the situation hard. I was waiting for the sun to rise, temperature to get high for my body to warm.
That sunrise was the most waited sunrise I have had in my life.
|At the top
I was tired after walking for nearly 9 hours and the cold wind and temperature was making it really hard. After spending few hours at the top we started descending. Initially I was happy to see sloppy route full of volcanic ash and debris but later it became the toughest part of the whole trip. Descending is one of the difficult part of the trek, I was expecting some hard surface or at least something different than that but walking in same surface for hours took all the fun out of it. Getting back to base station was a moment of relief and success.
It was a wonderful experience, if you are planning a trip to Mt Fuji then I recommend you to do it soon, if you are reading this from any other countries than Japan then try your local mountain or a may be a hill. Im planning some trek when I get back to Nepal.
Thank you everyone for making it happen!!!

This Saturday is the Sweetheart run in Tulsa. The idea is that you and your sweetheart are supposed to run the race together. Andy agreed he would support me or maybe I kind of forced him to do it. I just don't think were ready at all. I tried to go running this morning and I wanted to kill myself. The cold air in my lungs was killer. I would like to do the run on Saturday I just don't want to embarrass myself. Andy is already better than me and has only been running for a couple of weeks. He keeps saying "Oh you'll be way ahead of me"....nope. I'm just ready to be healthy whether my sweet tooth likes it or not. I don't want to be a size zero, my ideal healthy weight is 135 but my ultimate weight would be 125. Right now I'm going towards 135 because at that weight my bmi will finally be healthy for my height. In high school I weighed anywhere from 120-130. I hope to be a happy 135.
I'm trying to motivate myself, some people have like rewards for themselves once they lose 10, 20 & so on. But I'm not sure what to reward myself with yet.

Whirlwind weekend is almost over! Have been wondering what I've gotten myself into while I'm in the midst of too much to do, but know I'll love recalling every minute of it during some quiet moment in the coming week. Thursday 7pm was Spiritus, packed to the brim and turning folks away, and all who got to stay loved the sassy Saidi! Friday 8pm at Marrakesh. Sat 10am sub for Amira... and all her students showed up in costume!! How fun and fabulous is that? Next, noon Simply Saidi back at the Aby Center. So much information to give to folks, and not sure if they really want it or not... maybe it's too boring and they'd rather just dance... but no :) There were lots of questions, note taking, and many smiles... a few dropped canes! But we made it through everything -- info and the entire 3.5 minute choreography. Hope to see it on stage at Strawberry fest! Photo is of the gorgeous Leona in all her new finery! 7pm at Shalimar for two shows. An awesome new venue that I hope continues on for a long time with the Middle Eastern dance shows!! Owner is wonderful and food is amazing! Tomorrow, noon, Bitterlake Community Center for the MEAI Shimmython! May the longest shimmy win!

Whirlwind Weekend

Moses Lake
It's been an exhausting, precious couple of weeks... months even maybe. Traveled out to Moses Lake to star in Desert Oasis alongside other fabulous Eastern WA dancers. It was one of the smoothest run shows I've ever been in! Nizana did an amazing job producing her first show! Highlights of the evening were getting to meet all the Eastern WA dancers, and getting to meet Nick... now my number one fan out there!
He was full of hugs! Loved the red dress I wore for the show! And insisted that we hold hands until the theater light went out and we all got kicked out into the cool night!
I'm so glad I got to meet you, Nick!

Spent October up until February creating a choreography for Allie and coaching her with the talent portion of her Miss Auburn competition. She's so young and already has such a packed schedule, so getting together was tough. But she pushed through it all, taking her zills and shimmies to Africa to continue practicing while traveling, and now she's on her way to Miss Washington!!

Trying to get my mind round making another fanzine at the moment. It's not hard: filling fanzines with middle of the road crud is the standard. At the moment I'm trying to let go of my inhibitions and write what I really think about. It's a cleasing process I think. Once I get rid of the weirdness running thru my mind maybe I can lead a normal life. Maybe when I stop fantasising about the mean spirited Chinese lady at work, maybe when I stop going to watch rom coms by myself, maybe when I stop walking for miles into the middle of nowhere by myself because I can't wait for the end of the world. These feelings come and go.
Right now I've got a whole bunch of shit being typed but it's all thoroughly MIDDLE OF THE FLIPPIN' ROAD. A couple of years ago I briefly fell in love with a girl who worked in a butchers. She stunk.
The Pork Queen
Slater Wilcox
I have worked with some total shitheads in the past, real horrid cunts. The guy in the bakery with no front teeth and a moustache who used to mutter "kinky" every time a major babe walked past in boots. Then there was the guy in the warehouse who preferred to sleep with women on their periods as it "felt better". The guy in the pub with a penchant for the "suck it and see" t shirts. And the guy in the lorry who yelled "NICE NIPPPLES" at a 50 year old lady on a cold day in St Austell.
I trollied the 20 cases of wine round the back of the butcher's shop. The door opened to the scent of raw meat and a very attractive Irish girl. It stank, but she was beautiful. I became delirious. I imagined her black hair smelling of pork as I spanked her with a 10oz rib eye steak. If she'd have taken her clothes off, I would have eaten them. However, my nose was dripping and the guy I worked with kept insisting that I was gay; I felt like I had the charisma of a clogged toilet. Nothing happened between me and the Pork Queen.

A World Bank assessment of lighting in Tanzania found that 37% of people (the largest single grouping in the study) wanted improved lighting for the impact it would make on the education of their children. They said that it would allow their children to do their homework at night.
This concept may be foreign to those in developed countries, but in Africa, candles and paraffin lamps are mostly used by children to do their homework. The flicker and poor light quality often leads to eyestrain and concentration problems with shorter study times being the result.
LED lights are low power consumers and are thus perfect for use with a small solar panel and rechargeable battery pack. Yet low quality led lights that fade very quickly (lumen depreciation) and sub-standard battery packs that do not last more than a few hundred cycles, are damaging the market. Poor people cannot afford to make mistakes on new technology and given the social dynamic of African communities, word of failure spreads fast.
We need to ensure that only good quality led lighting finds its way into the market, and we need to encourage it. Education is the key to development (and to buying good quality LED products), and until we recognise that and do everything needed to improve it, we will not see the growth in Africa that we all wish for. Promoting affordable and useful lighting technology is one way we can do this – and as LED lighting professionals we also need to educate the consumer about the technology to avoid damaging what has to be one of the most important technologies of the millenium.

Agreed! We have an awesome technology opportunity here, but how to take advantage of it when you consider there are cost, distribution, education and quality issues. We must find ways to overcome these.

Tips On How To Choose The Best Ski Rentals. In dealing with ski rentals you will find that those who are active in the sport will tend to have a number of things which they must consider first. You will come across a way in which there are a number of the given equipment which will tend to confuse you on which ones to choose in this case. In some shops you will only need to book online and they deliver the equipment to you while others you have to go there physically. You will need these tips to help you in making the right choice when it comes to the ski rentals. Many people tend to go for the ski rentals since it is the cheapest option that can be found in this case. This has been seen to be a very good business and so you will find that a good number of stores will be offering these services in this case. In that case to avoid the confusion that comes with the many options you will need to plan early so that you may have all your equipment ready for use in the right time. You will be required to check on the age of the equipment as well as the way it fits in such a way that it will be necessary to fit so well in this case. You will need to consider the comfort that you get in this case when choosing the right one. You will find that the skis should not be sued like things which are meant to last forever. You will find that it will be important to consider a case where it may be able to bring you so much discomfort when you buy such in this case. Some rental shops do not care whether or not they are renting the experienced skis to the people.
What No One Knows About Rentals
Looking On The Bright Side of Rentals
This way you should always look at the equipment carefully to ensure that it is still valid to be used so that it may give you comfort and safety when out skiing. If you find the old ones, consider a case where they will be able to be comfortable enough to be worn in this case. Look at how long the skis are serviced after in this case. A well-managed equipment must always be reconditioned at the bases after every rental. Before you get to rent the skis out you will need to first look at the material inside. You will find that one that has been used for a long time will tend to be sloppy. You will find that the new skis will tend to be more reactive and very lively when sporting.

March 5, 2018
Norwich University Assistant Professor of History and Political Science Mark Boonshoft has been awarded three prizes for his research on the evolution of the American education system.
Boonshoft earned the Board of Fellows Faculty Development Prize for the 2018-2019 academic year for his project, ""The Rise and Fall of 'Monarchical' Education and the Making of the American Republic."
The $8,000 award will support Boonshoft's work to finish the writing and revision of a book manuscript that analyzes a transformation in American education during the 1810s-1820s, traces the emergence of republican self-government in America, and, in turn, explains why future generations of Americans would demand access to schooling in order to lay claim to the rights of citizens.
Boonshoft was also named a 2018-19 fellow for the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington. The $10,000 award will fund three months of residency at Mount Vernon, during which time Boonshoft will research partisan debates over education in the first decades after American independence.
In addition, Boonshoft recently was awarded a $1,500 grant from the American Revolution Institute of the Society of the Cincinnati to research the archives of the Society of the Cincinnati, which was founded in 1783 by former officers from the Continental Army. He aims to uncover why, in the years after independence, the organization invested in schools, especially elite secondary schools called academies, research critical to his book project.
Boonshoft explains: "Neither the American Revolution nor the Constitution resolved the two central dilemmas of transitioning from monarchical to republican governance: how to transform subjects into citizens who can rule themselves, and how to determine who should wield power in a society premised on equality. This project argues that founding-era Americans solved these dilemmas through education."
In researching the history of the American system of education, Norwich University founder Captain Alden Partridge features prominently. Boonshoft writes: "Alden Partridge revolutionized military and civic education in this period when he founded the American Literary, Scientific, and Military Academy, which later became Norwich University. In the brief justifying his new 'system' of education, Partridge decried the 'anti-republican and monastic' sort of schooling that dominated the United States."
Boonshoft's expertise focuses on the American Revolution and the American founding as well as the history of American education. He served as a post-doctoral fellow at the New York Public Library as the historian on the Early American Manuscripts Project.

Éire Óg League Champions for first time ever
Éire Óg Oxford 1-11, St. Dympna's 0-13
By Diarmuid Walsh.
Éire Óg Oxford won the Hertfordshire Senior League title by a point against St. Dympna's and in doing so denied the Luton side a fifth title in a row.
In an engrossing and spirited encounter an Oxford point, deep in injury time, ensured Éire Óg an historic first title.
St. Dympna's had the better start with Ciaran O Leary popping over a first minute point which was quickly followed by another from Darren O Donnell. Oxford responded with points from Thomas Gaughan and wing back Conor Briody before taking the lead with a free from speedster Piers McGlynn.
Three points from Ciaran Gallen put the St. Dympna's men ahead before Kevin Morrissey fisted a long pass from Mark O Callaghan inches over the bar for Oxford. The game entered a rather scrappy patch and four pointed frees, two for each side, left the Luton men in the lead by the minimum on 23 minutes.

Katong Park felt like a lonely oasis of green fenced in by the wide, bleak lanes of tarmac that made up Fort and Meyer Road. I had the sense I was walking through an urban desert as I approached it, for the buildings and construction sites on both sides looked bone-dry under the glare of a late afternoon sun. As I stepped onto the stone path leading into the park I couldn't pick up any trace of human presence at first, which unnerved me for a split second before I reckoned that this would be a nice place to move away from the fast lane in this otherwise heavily-urbanised island. There were signboards relating the history of the park as the former site of a British military fort and later a previously-popular leisure destination, but even those appeared forgotten and forlorn against the tide of urban life that swept past and away from the park.
I was fortunate enough to have a conversation with a gentleman that I met sitting under a pavilion in the middle of the park, after spending a few moments gesticulating at him from a distance to ask if I could take his photograph. I shan't attempt to introduce him any further, but let his words speak for themselves about another dimension of the human experience in Singapore.
"I come here to relax until 5, 6; then I go to work, I'm in the security line over at the Dhoby Ghaut side. I'm here Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, but not Saturday and Sunday because I work the double shift. I just sleep here until work. It's nice here–fresh air, quiet, no crowds. In the morning I go to the market down the road for a good breakfast of half-boiled eggs, then I come back here. Before work I'll go to the swimming complex to shower, you have to pay 50 cents to go in. Sometimes I bring my laundry to the place where you put the coin in and watch it spin, wash it for $5. Sometimes tour buses come here to talk about the history of the area. They sometimes hold discussions here and they ask me, 'Excuse me can you please move' so I'll move all the way to the other side.
I used to live in one of the condos around the area; that was 25 years ago. I'm married, I have two sons. Eldest is 28 and working in the shipping industry. You don't hear about people like us in the newspaper. They like to say 'Singapore is number 1 at everything' but you still have people living in hardship. At East Coast Park there is a free shower area, the homeless families go there to wash their clothes. On Nicoll Highway you can also see homeless family members sleeping. I don't like Singapore. Singaporeans are like robots–go to work, come back, go to work, come back. And–sorry to say–but children in Singapore aren't filial to their parents, they live very far from each other. Singapore is safe, but I think you should experience life in a foreign country.
I would move to Indonesia, Batam, Malaysia. Batam is a 45-minute ferry ride from Harbourfront. Batam is very nice; I used to go there. Many good places for diving, and shopping there is very cheap. Here in Singapore everything is expensive. Is there anything I would change… I just want a more comfortable life. I want to lead a simple life elsewhere.
I can't say I ever feel happy. I can't feel happy in Singapore. But I have friends who cheer up. I like to make other people cheer up. And I think as long as you have two hands, two legs, then you should continue working. Everyone needs to sustain themselves."

Big things expected from Ilve's latest oven release
ILVE has announced the release of its 948 SXMP 90cm built-in oven. According to the company, the 110-litre capacity oven is 30 per cent larger than all ovens in its class.
ILVE states that the latest addition to its Professional Range of kitchen appliances is built to professional standards and requirements. One interesting feature of the 948 SXMP is its automatic roasting probe, which lets you set a temperature and a microprocessor will do the rest.
This processor will then automatically switch off at exactly the temperature you program to ensure the roast is cooked to perfection.
Other features include the new Turbowave Quickstart technology which heats the oven to 180°C in less than eight minutes, electric rotisserie, precision thermostat control, concealed grill element and programmable timer.
The interior is made from low-maintenance, non-staining vitreous enamel for easy cleaning and the oven floor is removable and can fit straight into a dishwasher.
The Ilve 948 SXMP is available in Matt Black, Stainless Steel and Antique White for a RRP of $5,199. It is currently on display at Ilve showrooms and selected retailers across the country.

One of the shops that I love to walk past is Dansk Flowers, a florist on Upper Street, right next to St Mary's. They always have a lovely display and show colours that reflect the season.
They are Not Cheap so I tend to buy flowers from them for other people and only very occasionally for the house. However, if you are in the area, I think they are worth a look.

The Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) is one of the most popular qualifications to study if you're new to accountancy. But is it right for you?
Kickstart your career - Read our guide on getting started with AAT
Yes! You don't need any previous experience or qualifications to start studying AAT, just a willingness to learn! It'll give you a step onto the accountancy career ladder if you...
Have recently left school or college.
Work in accounts in a junior or administrative role.
Are thinking of changing career to become an accountant.
With an AAT qualification, the world is your oyster! Whilst studying you'll develop the skills to get your first role as an Accounts Assistant. As you get further through the qualification, you'll be able to progress and even specialise with jobs such as Payroll Manager, Finance Analyst, Tax Manager and Bookkeeper becoming available.
Salaries vary from job to job and city to city, but a typical entry accounts role could see you earning between £16,000-£24,000. Over time you could see this rise to as much as £37,000 as you progress and gain experience.
Not at all! In fact, accountancy is one of the most popular choices for people who want a new career path. Take a look at this infographic to see just how popular a career in accountancy is...
Even though you need to be dedicated, you can easily fit AAT training around your work and personal life. With a range of study options on offer, you'll find something that works best for you.
To show you it can be done, read our conversation with Julie, who balances her AAT training with a management role and regular hospital appointments, whilst still looking after her two kids (and a black labrador!)
University wasn't really for me, so being able to have a full time job and still study an accountancy course was really handy. I would definitely recommend Kaplan. I feel like I am learning at the pace I want to learn.
University wasn't really for me, so being able to have a full time job and still study an accountancy course was really handy. I would definitely recommend Kaplan. I feel like I am learning at the pace I want to learn.
AAT training can cost anywhere from £750 to over £2,500 per level depending on your study method. But the investment in your future means it could pay for itself in a matter of months!
To make studying more affordable, we have a range of ways to pay for your course including:
Spread the cost of your course into more manageable monthly payments, with no added interest.
Funding is available subject to eligibility criteria being met. If you are already employed in an accountancy or financial services role, please speak directly to your employer.
If you are currently working, your employer may be prepared to fund your training. A survey we undertook found that 60%
of career changers were able to get funding through their company.
Terms and conditions apply. Select a payment option to see if you are eligible to apply.
AAT is broken down into three levels. If you're currently working in accounts or have studied accountancy before, you may be exempt from some units.
Take AAT's skillcheck test to find out more >
The Foundation Certificate covers the basic principles of accountancy, such as double-entry bookkeeping, costing and preparing financial statements, as well as how to use accounting software.
It'll take between 6 and 12 months to complete depending on how much time you can commit to studying.
With these skills you could land yourself a job in a junior or entry level accounts role, such as an Accounts Assistant or Purchase/Sales Ledger Clerk, where salaries range between £16,000 and £24,000 a year.
The Advanced Diploma builds on your knowledge gained at Foundation (level 2), teaching advanced bookkeeping, accounts preparation and ethics in accountancy.
This level also takes between 6 and 12 months to complete.
When you've completed the Advanced Diploma, jobs open to you might include Bookkeeper, Finance Assistant or Payroll Supervisor, with a nice salary increase too!
The final level will teach you more complex accounting tasks such as budgeting, drafting financial statements and evaluating financial performance.
You'll also get to choose two optional subjects to specialise in. This could include tax, auditing or credit management. After this, you'll be fully qualified!
You can apply to become a full AAT member and get the letters MAAT after your name, but more importantly you could get a job as a Payroll Manager, Senior Bookkeeper or Finance Analyst. From here, you can earn £25,000, rising to as much as £37,000 with experience!
(All salary information taken from AAT Salary Survey 2015)
If all of this sounds a bit daunting, you might want to try an AAT Bookkeeping qualification. This gives you a taster of AAT,
whilst giving you the skills to become a Bookkeeper. You'll still get a recognised qualification upon completion and then have the option to move onto the full qualification with exemptions.
Look at AAT Bookkeeping courses >
We'll send you the details in a confirmation email
There is an issue, please try again later.

The weather was scorchingly hot, thus creating a larger-than-normal desire for cool white wines on the part of the arriving attendees (but a special shout-out to Chef Octavio Beccera of Palate Food + Wine who had the foresight to bring along a pile of ice-cold Modelo). Our tables were right at the entrance to the event, so almost immediately upon walking through the site's gates the thirsties were quenchable by a choice of Torbreck Viognier/Marsanne/Roussanne, Hirsch Chardonnay, or a bevy of Grüner Veltliners and a Riesling from Weingut Markus Huber.
Event co-founder Barbara Lazaroff interviews Chef Paul Prudhomme
Our tables were right next to those of Chef Paul Prudhomme, probably the first "celebrity chef" I'd come in contact with some 20+ years ago. His food remains excellent and he's a total trouper at these things, as always happy to chat with his fans and pose for pictures. One of my favorite things about this event is that all of the participating chefs tend to be extraordinarily gracious. This is more than just being friendly with potential patrons- in this day and age where it seems as if every recent graduate from culinary institutions considers themselves celebrity chefs, this group was (for the most part) a bunch of people who'd worked their way up through the ranks and are now running restaurants (if not empires) that are successful, inspiring, and are standard bearers for the idea of success being achieved through hard work fueled by a vision. I spent a little time chatting with Charles Phan of the Slanted Door and Jose Andrés of the Think Food Group. Both were charming and passionate about what they do.
Chef from Estiatoro Milos of the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas filets a whole fish cooked in Greek sea salt. It was a very memorable dish and worked well with the 2007 Antica Terra Pinot Noir that Nate Ready was pouring a few tables away.
The other AWFF co-founder, Chef Wolfgang Puck leads some young revelers on a tour of the evening's sights
A good time was had by all, and attendees had the opportunity to enjoy a lot of different flavors of food and wine, all on the Universal Studios backlot, surrounded by food and wine and music a bunch of new Audis (I liked the R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI Quattro quite a lot) Our tables were pretty much mobbed all night. At the Hirsch Winery table, Tess Bryant and her friend Holly poured the 2007 Hirsch San Andreas Pinot and 2008 M Pinot Noir and added a lot of fans to the mailing list.
Torbreck was (as usual) a crowd pleaser; in addition to the Viognier/Marsanne/Roussane white Rhône blend, we poured the 2009 Cuvée Juveniles GSM and the 2006 Struie. As the evening cooled down (although not that much) we had more takers for the red wines.
The wines from Markus Huber seemed to catch people off guard, but after the first sip they liked them just fine. The three levels of Grüner Veltliner showed the difference made by sourcing fruit from a single vineyard (the 2009 Obere Steigen was magnificent) but it was also interesting to compare and contrast that wine with the single vineyard 2009 Huber Engelreich Riesling. Both were excellent, with the nod going to the GV in terms of playing nicely with the grilled lobster being served across the way from us. Huber was not the only Austrian winery represented at the event. Damon Ornowski was there from Vin Divino and he was pouring wine from Domäne Wachau and Zantho and he did a great job of keeping the band happy (particularly the bassist, given that she's from Vienna).
This is usually my favorite food and wine event of the year. It brings out a great crowd on both sides of the table and the weather is invariably pretty good. Check back at the their website for details on the 2011 American Wine & Food Festival.

Initialize Cache
After successfully configuring NCache, you can start developing applications utilizing NCache by embedding NCache API calls.
To utilize the APIs, include the following namespace in your application:
Using Basic Initialize Method
NCache provides InitializeCache method to get an instance of a NCache's cache, with support of method overloading accommodate multiple scenario handling. This method uses all the properties specified in the client configuration file to initialize the cache, unless specified explicitly through API.
Cache cache = null;
string cacheName = "demoCache";
cache = NCache.InitializeCache(cacheName);
catch (Exception ex){
//handle exception
// Possible Exceptions:
//1. No server available to process the request
//2. client.ncconf does not contain current cache information
Initializing Multiple Caches in Single Application
For this exercise, both caches need to be configured previously and they must be in running state.
Cache cache1 = null;
Cache cache2 = null;
string cacheName1 = "demoCache";
string cacheName2 = "myreplicatedcache";
cache1 = NCache.InitializeCache(cacheName1);
cache2 = NCache.InitializeCache(cacheName2);
catch (Exception ex){
//handle exception
Initializing InProc Cache
Initializing an InProc cache is similar to initializing an OutProc cache except the fact that the InProc cache is not started.
Cache cache = null;
string localCacheName = "myLocalCache";
// Assumption: Cache ID has already been registered and is running
cache = NCache.InitializeCache(localCacheName);
catch (Exception exp) {
//handle exception
Initializing Cache Using CacheInitParams
CacheInitParams allows editing values of cache properties at initialization
time. These values are the same which can be configured through client.ncconf file.
Any configuration specified through
CacheInitParams will override the value in client.ncconf for that particular client.
In this example, the values of
EnableKeepAlive and
properties can be changed; for this application these values will be used
instead of the ones specified in client configuration file.
Cache cache = null;
try {
// Create new InitParam instance
CacheInitParams initParam = new CacheInitParams();
initParam.RetryInterval = 3;
initParam.ConnectionRetries = 2;
initParam.EnableKeepAlive = true;
initParam.KeepAliveInterval = 30;
string cacheName = "demoCache";
cache = NCache.InitializeCache(cacheName, initParam);
catch (Exception exp) {
// handle exception
Initializing Cache with Security Credentials
If security has been enabled, you need to provide the security credentials while initializing caches so that the authorized user can perform the operation. For more details on Security and using security in NCache, see NCache Security.
To utilize the APIs, include the following namespace in your application:
CacheInitParams initParam = new CacheInitParams();
initParam.PrimaryUserCredentials = new SecurityParams(userName, password);
Cache cache = NCache.InitializeCache(cacheName, initParam);
Initializing Remote and Client Cache Simultaneously
In case you have configured the client cache using NCache Manager ,the basic
public static Cache initializeCache(String cacheId) call would initialize
both remote cache and client cache.
If separate calls are made for both caches, the local cache does not behave as a client cache - instead it functions as an independent local cache.
This API would return a handler of the remote cache, synchronizing all operations of the client cache.
Cache cache = null;
string remoteCache = "demoRemoteCache";
string clientCache = "demoClientCache";
try {
cache = NCache.InitializeCache(remoteCache, clientCache);
catch (Exception ex){
// handle exception
Similarly, use following API to initialize remote and client caches with
public static Cache InitializeCache(string remoteCacheId, CacheInitParams remoteInitParams, string clientCacheId, CacheInitParams clientInitParams);
Error: "No server available to process request"
Sometimes a cluster can not be created because the Server and Cluster ports are blocked by firewall. Following error message can occur in this case:
Error: "No server available to process request"
Make sure that the Server port (at which NCache Service starts and accepts different client connections) is not blocked by firewall. Default value of this port is '9800'. You can change the default value from Alachisoft.NCache.Service.exe.config file.
- NCache Manager unable to connect with NCache Service:
If NCache Manager is unable to connect with NCache Service, even when it is started, then your system firewall might be blocking Service port. Unblock Service port from system firewall.
Error: "Unable to communicate with server node"
Cluster nodes can also be unable to communicate with each other because of the aforementioned reason as well.
Error: "Unable to communicate with server node"
See if your firewall is allowing the Cluster port. Cluster port is a port at which nodes in a cluster communicate. You can change the default value of these ports from NCache Manager. If you have specified a port range in NCache Manager, unblock all ports in range.
Client Socket Deadlock
You may experience a deadlock situation on your client socket because of a long wait for a response from the cache server. This may also result in a lot of waiting threads that may cause performance issues.
Step1: Changes on Server Side
Go to Alachisoft.NCache.Service.exe.config located at
Add the following lines in the configuration file:
<add key = "NCacheServer.EnableBadClientDetection" value = "true" />
The value "true" indicates that BadClientDetection is enabled on your client socket. This means that now if a deadlock situation arises on your client socket, the socket will be reset. The default value of this property is "false".
<add key = "NCacheServer.ClientSocketSendTimeout" value = "10" />
When you have enabled
BadClientDetection, you can specify the time interval after which the socket is reset in case of a deadlock. The default value of this property is "10" and this value can not be less than 1.
A few other properties have also been introduced in Alachisoft.NCache.Service.exe.config to help with this issue. Please configure these properties as follows:
<add key ="NCacheServer.EventPriorityRatio" value="30"/>
On the server-side a priority queue is used for events and cache operations. You can configure a ratio of events and cache operations for this queue through the property called
EventPriorityRatio. The default value of this property is 30 which indicates a ratio 30:70 for events and cache operations. The value of this property can not be less than 1.
<add key ="NCacheServer.EventBulkCount" value="50"/>
The cache server now sends events to clients in bulk. Through this property you can set the number of items to be sent in bulk. By default this value is 50 and the value can not be less than 1. This is available in client version 4124 and above.
<add key ="NCacheServer.EventBulkCollectionInterval" value="2"/>
This property is used to set the time interval, in seconds, after which bulk of events is fired even in case the bulk count does not reach the
EventBulkCount that the user has specified. Default value for this property is 2 seconds and the value can not be less than 1.
Restart the NCache service for these changes to take effect.
Step2: Changes on Client Side
Please make the following changes in your App.config/Web.config file:
<add key ="NCacheClient.AsynchronousEventNotification" value="true"/>
<add key ="NCacheClient.NumberofEventProccesingThreads" value="2"/>
AsynchronousEventNotification: Specifies whether events will be fired asynchronously or synchronously on client side. The default value is "true" which indicates that events will be fired asynchronously. The value "false" means that events will be fired synchronously on client side.
NumberofEventProcessingThreads: When the user has configured events to be fired synchronously, this flag is used to specify the number of threads which will process these events on client side. A very large value can cause performance issues.

Question- The books recommend having sex 2-3 times a week, why not every day?
Answer- Believe it or not, you will decrease your chances of becoming pregnant if you have sex every day during the most fertile time of your cycle. The reason is that the male reproduction system needs time to regroup and restore its sperm to full potency. If you have sex each day, the quantity of active and available sperm is greatly reduced with each "pregnancy attempt."

Hello, Secondbaseknight here!
It's time for me to give you my review on Netflix's Annihilation. So, before we start this post please leave a like and follow Feather Charm on all our social media, to support what we do, anyway on with the review.
More Questions Than Answers?
Annihilation. From the writer and director of Ex Machina, Alex Garland brings to us a new Sci-Fi that is filled with body horror monsters and some trippy LSD moments, to bring us this unique and compelling story. This film had one effect on me that most movies don't really do nowadays, and that's force you to think about what you have just watched, and what the meaning of the film is.
When I finished watching this film, I began talking to myself about all these theories that the film was trying to show, such as if it is a journey to hell, and our protagonists are going further into it, or if it is a giant metaphor for the involvement of humans changing our planet. Were we are able to create a wonderful environment for ourselves, we risk changing the nature of our animals and plants, causing us to face the monsters, or maybe we just fear anything that is bigger and stronger than us, showing how basic we all are. That's why this film to me was great because it left me with this haunting impression of the unknown.
Annihilation Or Salvation?
When this movie was first announced, I was honestly a bit disappointed, this is due to the story looking a bit plan and random, with people saying "I don't know" but they were reasons for me to also feel excited. The biggest reason that got me watching, was Alex Garland. This is his follow-up to his hugely acclaimed breakout Ex Machina, only this time he has a budget of $55 million. The story is an adaptation of the award-winning novel by Jeff Vandermeers, which is packed with visual horror and unusual storytelling.
Like any fan base, this book has some hard-core followers and some of these followers even stated that this film was "unfilmable" leading to multiple issues at Paramount due to test screenings, which was shocking and confusing to audiences. Some even found it to hard to follow and "complicated", although the film finished production almost year and a half ago. Paramount wanted to avoid the risk and ended up selling all the rights to Netflix. I remember one of my filmmakers friends being furious, because he wanted to see it in the cinema. However, It worked out for both parties in the end, since the film had quite good feedback on streaming services, and nearly everyone I know, who's watched it, has talked about it. The last movie that Netflix released that had my friends and family fired up, and almost demanding me to watch, was Veronica which was a good horror film.
Entering The Unknown
We follow Lena, played by Natalie Portman, a biologist, simply moving along with her life, almost struggling to focus on herself, because her husband, played by Oscar Isaac, went missing. But with his sudden return, Lena's hope is destroyed when he begins to start acting strangely. Now, she is offered another chance to help her husband, thanks to a psychologist, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, who gives her the opportunity to enter the "shimmer", the same place her husband went into, maybe the only place to discover what happened to husband, and how fix him.
The Source
I have not read the book, but from what people have suggested online, it is not 100% true to the source material, and it seems to take big and dramatic routes to the story. However, in most films, you can't always follow the story to the core or it becomes very hard to film, not to mention it removes some creative input from the director. A perfect example is Game Of Thrones, we all love it, although it is very different to the books, especially with character designs. Similarly in Annihilation Alex Garland was able to create a structurally unsettling mood and environment.
Even with the formula of experts/soldiers being picked off by a force of nature, Alex Garland created an unnerving and unpredictable sci-fi horror film. To me this film is different and uncommon; this is due to the film itself having some characters reacting intelligently to strange events. The team itself is made of strong women who can deal with problems, which is different to the main horror genre, where most people end up doing the most stupidest things. This film makes you think, making it an intelligent film, but done in the right way, compared to the film Mother!
While this film's narrative throws you into this strange environment, which can be confusing, it is understandable why Paramount would worry for its box office. Annihilation will remind you of other Sci-Fi, horror films, such as The Thing and Alien but it is not those films. The ending will create a 50/50 community with people who will love it or hate it. Finally, my verdict is this: the film itself is more than it's pretty visuals. It is about life, how slowly we are changing it, and how it can change us. Do we as humans, think we are gods, or is it that we are simply waiting for a god-like being to awaken, and put us in our place. This film will haunt its audiences, but make them want to learn more. Out of 5 stars, I give it a 3 and a half. It is a film you should watch and interpret for yourselves.
What do you think of Annihilation; will you be watching it on Netflix this month? I hope you enjoy the post.

Rima Das's 'Village Rockstars' made Assam proud yet again by winning the prestigious National Film Awards. The last time an Assamese film had won a National Film Award was in 1987 when Jahnu Barua's 'Halodhia Choraye Baodhan Khai' brought home the prestigious award. Village Rockstars is Rima Das's debut film and shot the entire movie with just a 2 member crew. The film is a heart touching story about a 10-year-old girl living in a remote village in Assam who fights against stereotypes and poverty to pursue her dream of owning a guitar and forming a rock band.

Solution to Genomic Range Query in Go
Recently I've been spending a lot more time focussed on learning the Go programming language. I've played with Go on and off for about 3 years but never gotten serious with it. I've decided 2018 is the year that will change!
I've been working through the lessons on Codility. I realised I haven't written a blog post in sooo long and thought the best way to start the momentum is a quick post with something I've been working on very recently. So here's my solution to Lesson 5 - Genomic Range Query in Go.
func Solution(S string, P []int, Q []int) []int {
nucleos := []rune{'A', 'C', 'G', 'T'}
sums := make(map[rune][]int)
M := len(P)
N := len(S)
// Initialize prefix-sums
for _, n := range nucleos {
sums[n] = make([]int, N+1)
// Calculate prefix sums
for i, r := range S {
for j := range sums {
sums[j][i+1] = sums[j][i]
// Process queries
for i := 0; i < M; i++ {
p := P[i]
q := Q[i]
for j, n := range nucleos {
if (sums[n][q+1] - sums[n][p]) > 0 {
P[i] = j + 1
return P
Hopefully by posting this, the inertia to write more posts will be too strong to resist 🤞

Self-funding Treatments
Private Medical Treatments in Worthing, Brighton & Hove
We can also offer consultations and skin surgery on the NHS for some medical (non-cosmetic) skin conditions.
We offer a vast range of dermatological treatments and skin surgery from our specialist skin clinics in Worthing, Hove and Brighton.
We welcome self-funding patients at all three clinics, and patients with private medical insurance can see one of our Consultant Dermatologists at either the Worthing Laser & Skin Clinic or Hove Skin Clinic.
Only the most experienced and qualified Consultants
For many patients, immediate access to expert Dermatological Consultants and Aesthetics Practitioners brings comfort and security at perhaps a difficult time. Our self funding facilities mean that you can have almost instantaneous access to the country's most experienced Consultants without the need for a GP referral and waiting for a scheduled appointment. Dr. Emerson and his fellow Consultants can be seen quickly to diagnose a huge breadth of skin problems from skin lesions to acne, to the diagnosis and treatment of skin cancer. In fact our Consultants can diagnose over 2000 skin problems and are leading figures internationally within the Dermatology community.
Our Consultants are also highly skilled skin surgeons and will endeavour to perform minor skin operations at your initial consultation to save patients from repeated trips and un-necessary worry.
Aesthetic and Cosmetic Procedures
Our Consultant Dermatologist and Aesthetic Practitioners perform many procedures each year and our patients are extremely happy with the results. With a rise in establishments and individuals able to perform cosmetic procedures (such as Botox, Dermal Fillers and Laser Treatments) it can be difficult to know that these people are qualified to do so and have the relevant experience.
At the Hove Skin Clinic and Worthing Laser & Skin Clinic our Consultant Dermatologists take the lead in our cosmetic procedures so you know you are in the hands of medically qualified Consultant Dermatologists. This is why for many years our patients have been returning to our clinics for our expertise. Our clinical team will always ensure our self funding patients receive exceptional standards and at a price that is obtainable.
Not on the NHS
Increasingly, people are discovering that skin procedures they thought would be covered by the NHS are not. Examples of treatments not covered by the NHS include the removal of warts and some moles, leg veins and the treatment of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). Patients will not be referred by their GP's for any of these conditions or treatments. At the Worthing Laser & Skin Clinic and Hove Skin Clinic we provide affordable, self funding treatments for these very types of conditions so people feel that they finally have a choice. You will be seen at short notice and can be sure that the Consultants you see are experts in their field.
Mole scanning is an incredible resource for those wanting reassurance about sun damage, but sadly it is not available on the NHS. Mole Scanning could bring peace of mind to many people concerned about the condition of their skin. At our clinics we provide this valuable resource. We are one of only a small number in the country that do so, thus enabling thousands of people access to this advanced technology.
