I watch a lot of bad movies. It's easy to do because most movies are pretty bad. A lot of the films that are not bad are merely average. They're mediocre and safe and bland and that could be argued to be a crime in itself. But I still enjoy watching most bad movies. You know those terrible films they make fun of on Mystery Science Theatre 3000? I watch those sorts of films for fun, without the extra commentary (and sometimes with...) I just love to watch movies and I can enjoy a bad film despite its flaws.
Part of it is that I'm a hopeful movie goer. I am willing to sit through dozens of bad and average and forgetable films because I know that, eventually, I will see something great. Sometimes it will be a whole movie, but sometimes it will just be one moment. That's what this blog is about. I want to share with you five moments in modern cinema that I think are truly perfect. That isn't to say the whole film is great, but in these scenes, absolutely everything went right and they could not be improved.
So I present to you, in no particular order, five perfect moments in modern cinema.
1. You Shall Not Pass
The Lord of the Rings is a series that has helped define all aspects of cinema in the 21st century. My personal favourite is the first installment, The Fellowship of The Ring, but they're all good. Watching this scene, I feel like I'm being kicked in the arse with its epic scope every time. It's just one old man and some CGI but it is nothing less than perfect.
2. The Blue Fight
I had originally intended to put in the fight in the bamboo forest from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, but when I rewatched that scene, I couldn't call it perfect. It's good and I love the whole movie but it wasn't a perfect scene. But then when I thought about comparable fight scenes, my mind went straight to this moment in Hero. The whole film is a great example of how cinema can be just as expressive and powerful as any other art form. The precision that went into creating this fight astounds me and it is so much more than just a fight scene. And some people call martial arts "dancing" as if that's a bad thing...
3. Chew bubblegum and kick ass
The Live is an entertaining movie but it is not great. Your first instinct is probably to write this scene off as silly 80s cheese and I wouldn't tell you you're wrong. But it's silly 80 cheese with a little bit more. Tell me this: How could you improve this scene? Sure, it's not the most artistic or profound, but how would you improve it? Could you make the dialogue any more memorable or any more efficient? Could Roddy Piper's expression be any more on the mark? Could you frame the shots any better, getting in the action and those ever present commands of obedience? Deep down, They Live is an intelligently dark and comic film and all of that shines in this one moment, even if not in the rest of the film.
4. Huey Lewis and The News
Speaking of dark and comic. American Psycho. Wow. This film, much like the book, is a punch in the gut. You can't tear yourself away from it, though you want to, and you feel bad every time it makes you laugh - and it will make you laugh. Like the scene in They Live, this one moment embodies everything the film is trying to do and trying to say and it does it with the kind of subtlety and grace that you rarely see displayed in any medium. Everything from the comment about the newspapers to the selection of music to the way the blood splatters Christian Bale's face is perfect. This is how you use the nature of film to show your audience more than you could ever say with words. Respect.
5. Tears In The Rain
Then again, there's a lot to be said for words, too. There's also perfection to be found in simplicity. Not a lot happens in this moment. It's a just a small monologue but Rutger Hauer proves he is a man with some powerful acting talent in how he delivers it. Even those few glimpses at Harrison Ford reacting, confused and afraid are perfect. This is what can happen with as little as two great actors on set and a camera rolling.
There you have it. By no means an exhausting list and, obviously, not one that goes too far back in time. But I tried to take a few from films you might not immediately think of as "great films" or classics. Of course most of them are great films or at least damn good, but that's not the point. This isn't a list of five "MOST AMAZING FILMS EVER IN THE LAST THIRTY YEARS." This is only to speak to those moments that stand alone, regardless of how the rest of the film is made. These are the times when everything went as right as they could for as little as 66 seconds of film.
Let me know your thoughts and what moments in film you think are perfect.

'Machinery of Death': Gas chamber may be revived in Missouri
"As each supply expires, the department's ability to carry out lawfully imposed capital sentences diminishes," Attorney General Chris Koster said in a motion filed with the court. "Unless the court changes its current course, the legislature will soon be compelled to fund statutorily-authorized alternative methods of execution to carry out lawful judgments."
Only two forms of execution are permitted by Missouri law: lethal injection and death by gas.
Missouri, like other US states with the death penalty, has been using a three-drug cocktail to execute inmates for decades. The drugs, however, are no longer available for executions after pharmaceutical companies across the world refused to sell their products to corrections departments for ethical reasons, and the European Commission introduced restrictions on the export of anesthetics to the US.
Last year Missouri announced plans to use propofol - the anesthetic blamed for Michael Jackson's death. The drug has not been used to execute prisoners in the US before, calling into question its potential viability for lethal injection.
In 2012, twenty-one Missouri death row inmates filed a lawsuit in the US District Court in Kansas City claiming the use of propofol would be a cruel punishment since it created "an unprecedented, substantial likelihood of foreseeable infliction of excruciating pain in the course of executing the plaintiffs".
In response to legal challenges, the Missouri Supreme Court has declined scheduling any more execution dates until the question is resolved.
Koster has filed new motions with the court, requesting that the state could go ahead with the executions of two death row inmates, adding that the department has only three quantities of propofol remaining, with the oldest quantity due to expire in October and the newest in 2015.
"The Missouri death penalty statute has
been unnecessarily entangled in the courts for over a
decade," Koster told The Guardian, adding
that "the premeditated murder of an innocent Missourian
is cruel and unusual punishment. The lawful implementation of the
death penalty, following a fair and reasoned jury trial, is
A return to gas as a means of capital punishment would come at a cost, as Missouri no longer has such chambers installed in its penitentiaries.
Previous executions by gas took place at the Missouri State Penitentiary in Jefferson City. After prisoners were moved out of the prison a decade ago, it has become a landmark offering tours of the onetime functional gas chamber.
"Its [gas chamber] use has fallen into disrepute not least in the Western mind post World War Two. We see gas chambers as problematic for reasons that don't need spelling out," an attorney with the Death Penalty Litigation Center in Kansas City Joseph Luby said.
"The gas chamber has been dismantled in Missouri, so from a practical point of view I don't know how that could be done," chairwoman of the board for Missourians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty Rita Linhardt said. "I would think that would be a considerable cost and expense for the state to rebuild the machinery of death," she added.
From 1938 to 1965 Missouri used gas to execute 38 men and one woman. The state resumed administering the death penalty in 1989 after a 24-year break. Since then, 68 men - all convicted murderers - have been executed in the state, all by lethal injection, AP reports. After concerns were raised in the courts about the lethal injection process, Missouri has carried out two executions since 2005.
Back in 1995 the US court of appeals for the ninth circuit in California ruled the gas chamber unconstitutional.
Executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center Richard Dieter in Washington said other proposals have recently been made for states to use the gas chamber or the electric chair.
"It's unlikely that states would go back to these older methods, and if they did, I'm not sure they would be upheld in the courts", Dieter noted.

Quality Parking Lot Paving & Construction In Cleveland
Ohio Paving & Construction is a full-service paving company and contractor that provides high quality asphalt and concrete paving, construction & repair to commercial properties in northeast Ohio. From excavation and construction to sealcoating and patching- Ohio Paving & Construction has led the industry serving businesses, municipalities, and industrial plants for over 40 years.
Ohio Paving & Construction offers a variety of services to our Northeast Ohio clients, from asphalt paving, concrete paving, installing groundwater drainage systems, parking lot resurfacing and full-depth repair, to maintenance, sealcoating, and line striping.
Once you reach out to us with a project in mind, we'll send one of our experts out at your earliest convenience. Before you accept the quote, we strive to ensure all construction is scheduled around the needs of your business. Our priority is to minimize the impact construction will have on pedestrians.
With your quote request form, please include your specific project needs, timeframes, and/or any other documentation we should be aware of before we design your quote. We work hard to ensure that the quote we provide is accurate, and we keep an active line of communication with our clients every step of the way.
Why Choose Ohio Paving?
As a leading parking lot paving and construction company, our priority is offering honest pricing, delivering effective maintenance programs, and bringing utmost professionalism to companies looking for asphalt paving contractors in Northeast Ohio. We specialize in asphalt parking lot paving services for commercial, educational, industrial, non-profit and public properties.
We stress the importance of effective pothole & patching programs, immediate crack sealing and regular asphalt sealcoating to prevent high costs in the future, and we will patiently answer any question about our work with a detailed explanation of the asphalt paving process. We want to ensure any and all of your concerns remain at ease.
Because some asphalt contractors and paving contracting companies in Cleveland subcontract out a large amount of their work, they risk becoming disconnected from the repair process and lose sight of the accountability that's necessary for delivering a quality asphalt paving job. Ohio Paving & Construction proudly subcontracts very little of our work, ensuring professionalism and quality oversight by our management team and our paving crews.
Every job handled by Ohio Paving & Construction is managed in accordance with city zoning codes, the American's With Disabilities Act (ADA), and follows standard asphalt and concrete paving engineering procedures.
Recent work we've completed.
Phase II and III of Nestle USA's Solon, Ohio location required two large parking lot expansions, concrete sidewalk and curb paving, sealcoating, line striping, and more.
In continuance of our wonderful relationship with the world's largest food and beverage company, we took our crew to Streetsboro to expand Nestle's concrete delivery truck parking bay by 50,000 square feet.
The Willoughby Eastlake Bus Garage in Willoughby Hills, OH, needed an complete rebuilding of their failing bus garage parking lot- approximately 200,000 square feet of rebuilding. Ohio Paving & Construction came in and excavated the old lot, and then utilized a partnership with Cem-Base to stabilize the underlying soil.
Ohio Paving performed an ADA parking renovation for the Cinemark Theaters in Valley View, Ohio in 2015. Parking lot asphalt and concrete were removed, the surface was regraded and new asphalt (31,000 square feet) and concrete (4,500 square feet) was installed according to ADA guidelines.
"From all of us, the Design/Build Team, Staff, Volunteers, and most of all, our Brothers, Sisters and Children who are in the unfortunate position to need this facility, Thank You, and the Ohio Paving organization for being a Great Corporate Citizen! Our Community is significantly better because of Your Generosity! THANK YOU, again, and have a Blessed Day."
I ust want to thank you and the "Ohio Paving crews" for doing an excellent job on sealing and paving our Parking Lot. With weather conditions and all the traffic problems, the job got done and I am impressed with the professionalism and expertise Ohio Paving showed to ManorCare. The Parking Lot looks awesome!!! I will highly recommend Ohio Paving personally and will pass it on to my Corporate Office Personnel as well. Much appreciated. Thanks again...
Thank you for the Veterans Day wish. Also, thank you and your team efforts on the DOT paving project. The road network that we have here looks great, and so does the striping. We did appreciate your emails with the paving work schedule, along with the phone calls. Our project is looking better each year. Thanks again Ohio Paving.

More and more stars can be found in the sky aboard jets they own and some even pilot. They tend to be older stars not because of generational reasons but because jet ownership tends to require a net worth in excess of $100 million. Such is the case of private jet owners Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise, Jim Carrey, Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Celine Dion and John Travolta. .
With a net worth of $200 million, the Academy Award actor and resonating voice of several commercials is his own pilot. Freeman's $7.5 million jet, lauded for its speed and fuel efficiency, can travel nonstop 2,887 miles at a cruising speed of 500 mph. The plane is certified for a single pilot, which enables it to accommodate six passengers if one occupies the cockpit. The jet cruises at more than 500 mph at a ceiling of 49,000 feet.
Harrison Ford: Cessna 525B CJ3 Citation
The question posed by actor Harrison Ford is what kind of aircraft is he piloting this week—jet, prop, helicopter or spaceship? Ford's Cessna is a single-pilot jet that accommodates nine passengers, cruises at 478 miles per hour and has a maximum range 2,347 miles. Ford's net worth is $210 million; his jet retails at about $8 million.
Tom Cruise: Gulfstream IV
The actor became enthusiastic about aviation after starring in "Top Gun" (1986). With a net worth of $470 million, Cruise could afford to indulge his passion with the purchase of a $36 million Gulf Stream IV. The plane accommodates a crew of two and as many as 16 passengers. It's range is 4,220 miles and cruising speed 528 mph.
Jim Carrey: Gulfstream V
With a net worth of $150 million, the comedienne, actor and producer is an aviation enthusiast who retains an experienced crew of two for a $40 million Gulf Stream V with state of the art avionics. The Gulfstream V's cruising speed is 562 mph, maximum altitude 51,000 feet, and range 6,675 miles. The jet accommodates 16 passengers. Carrey offsets this cost by chartering the aircraft at $8,000 an hour. Chartering is a common practice of private jet owners, who on average use their planes only 150 hours a year, according to Private Jet Strategies.
Tiger Woods: Gulfstream G550
Every golf course is one flight away aboard the Gulfstream G550 of Tiger Woods. Having amassed a fortune estimated at more than $1 billion, the winner of 15 major tournaments trots the globe in a $53 million jet that accommodates two pilots, two attendants and a crew of up to 19. Its cruising speed is 652 mph and its maximum range is 7,767 miles. According to Flying Magazine, Gulfstream G550 is the "leader in large-cabin jets that flies faster, farther, with a roomier cabin and the most exotic avionics system in the air."
Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Celine Dion: Bombardier Global Express XRS
"It's great to have a private jet." So Oprah Winfrey told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. With a crew of three, the all-leather interior can comfortably accommodate 14 passengers. Its bathroom and galley are complete with luxurious designer fixtures. It can fly 16 hours without refueling--more than enough to fly non-stop between New York and Tokyo. The jet's cruising speed is 652 mph and its altitude ceiling is 51,000 feet. Price tag: $44 million. It's a small price to pay if you are media mogul Winfrey, net worth is $3.1 billion; or director/producer Steven Spielberg, net worth $3 billion; or Celine Dion, net worth $630 million.
John Travolta, Boeing 707-138
Actor John Travolta has the certification and flight hours to easily qualify as a commercial pilot for a major airline. With a net worth of $170 million, he owns multiple aircraft, including a Boeing 707-138 airliner. The 707-138 is one of seven versions of the Boeing 707-120 customized in 1959 for Quantas at a cost of $4.3 million each. The airliner can accommodate 189 passengers and a crew of four in the cockpit. With a cruising speed of 570 mph and elevation of 41,000, the range of the 707-138 varies from 2,646 to 4,350 miles depending on size of payload.

Meet Anna Marie, this sexy lady graced my studio for her south bend boudoir session a few weeks back. It was a session planned just for her and her 40th birthday, because you don't have to book a boudoir sessions for any other reason then because you want to! She came a bit nervous, like most clients but we easily found our groove after Chelsea from Makeup by Keria and Kimmie from Kalon Hair Lab worked their styling magic.
After every session I pick out images I just love and want to share with the world, a lot of the time clients ask me for privacy and I happily oblige. I never want to make my clients feel nervous by sharing their intimate images with strangers. But then just sometimes though I have a client who wants to show off her images, to let others know it isn't as scary as it seems to be to get so personal with a stranger. Ann Marie is one of those clients. I even did a little after session Q&A with her as well to help others who are possibly considering a boudoir session. So see how she felt about her session and check out her fabulous images!
1. Why did you want to do boudoir?
Because I turned 40 this year and put together a 40 year old bucket list and this was one of the things I put on my list.
2. What were you worried about before the session?
Not looking tense and even though I felt tense during my shoot none of the pictures picked it up…thanks to the photographer 😉.
3. How did you feel during and after the session?
Amazing, beautiful, alive, accomplished
4. What was the best part?
Letting it all hang out…literally…myself~physical and mental…all of who I am
5. Any advice or suggestions to others considering a boudoir session?
Do it!!! You only live this life once so why not?

In a new interview published Tuesday morning, Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson compared President Barack Obama's background with that of most African-Americans.
Politico's Glenn Thrush asked Carson about his reaction to Obama becoming the first black president.
"I was proud that we broke the color barrier when he was elected, but I also recognize that his experience and my experience are night-and-day different," Carson replied, according to a transcript.
"He didn't grow up like I grew up by any stretch of the imagination," the acclaimed neurosurgeon added.
Obama was born in Hawaii to a Kenyan father and a white mother. He was also partially raised in Indonesia. Carson was born in Detroit, Michigan, to two black parents. Both Carson and Obama were primarily raised by their mothers.
"He was, you know, raised white," Carson told Thrush. "Many of his formative years were spent in Indonesia. So, for him to, you know, claim that, you know, he identifies with the experience of black Americans, I think, is a bit of a stretch."

Florissant, MO
I bought my first 35mm camera in 1970. Shortly after that I enrolled at Florissant Valley Community College to study art. I found the photography classes to very enjoyable. We studied composition and used photography to creatively express ourselves. At that time we were only working in black and white. In 1972 I participated in my first show with 10 other students. I continued to study photography and to take photos throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. In 1999 I returned to Florissant Valley at night and in June, 2006 I received Associate in Fine Arts Degree Photography while working full time. Finally this fall I am retiring and I plan on spending much more time creating photographs.
Artists Statement:
For a number of years I have been into what I call Abstract-Extraction (I compose then Extract part of an object/structure and to create an Abstract image). Many of my images are extractions from an old building, a distorted reflection, an architectural detail and the juxtaposition of adjoining buildings.
The last couple of years I find myself drawn to a Pictorialism Style using manipulation of typically straight photographic materials and create new, more expressive, painterly, altered interpretations as was a way of projecting an emotional intent into the viewers realm of imagination. I do this in Photoshop using plug-ins, layers of textures, and blending them with various opacities into a finished image.
Special Accomplishments:
I have been a member of Art St. Louis for over 10 years and I regularly am selected 3 to 4 times a year for their juried shows. I was have been invited a number of times to participate in their offsite exhibits the latest being at the Des Peres hospital in St. Louis County.
Recently both of my images that I entered the St. Louis 250 Year Sheldon/Beacon photography competition were accepted - one of the pieces a black and white image of Union Station http://fineartamerica.com/featured/union-station-st-louis-b-and-w-dsc00422-greg-kluempers.html will be exhibited at the Sheldon and publish in the companion book project St. Louis at 250, the Sheldon Art Galleries/St. Louis Beacon Citywide Photo Contest.
I am a juried member of Greater St. Louis Artists Association and Best of Missouri Hands and I have been juried into a number of shows/fairs throughout the St. Louis Area including: Queeny Art Fair, Art Outside, Art and Air, Faust Park, Open Studio - the St. Louis Contemporary Art Museum, Mosaics, St. Louis Artist Guild, 2008 Gallery St Louis, Soulard Art Gallery, Gateway Gallery, Florissant Valley CC, Mereamec CC, St. Charles CC, The Foundry in St. Charles and Framations Art Gallery.
You don't make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.
Ansel Adams

Leonard Cohen – Waiting For the Miracle
Here's a song by Leonard Cohen. It's another of my favourites, and contains my favourite lyric of all time:
Waiting for the miracle, there's nothing left to do. I haven't been this happy since the end of World War II.
Leonard Cohen has a reputation for being dreary and dull, but he's a great lyricist and I think there's a lot of sarcasm and dry wit in his music. This song featured in the Natural Born Killers soundtrack, along with a couple of others, all highly recommended.

Brighter Days Are Coming
The first outfit post of the year! One of my blog goals this year was to concentrate a little more on fashion and that's exactly what I plan to do. Happy Friday everyone! I hope your week has been full of happiness, mine has been filled with gym sweats, greasy hair, food and harribo strawbs.
I think I saw the sun the other day, my last post was all about how gloomy and miserable January is so I thought I'd brighten the atmosphere back up on here and show some light with an OTTD. Over Christmas I was spoilt with a few new outfits and dresses and this outfit was included.
I am in love with this jacket, not only does it instantly jazz up any every day outfit but it looks so sassy. The contrast between the nudes and the navy blends in this outfit represent me praying for brighten days! I can't wait for the temperature to go up by a few degrees soon as I think a simple vest top would go lovely with jeans and some sandals complimented by the coat.
Jacket – Honeyz (in the sale)
Top – SimplyBe
Jeans – Primark

Reflecting further on the questions for the first week in #moocmooc, it seems to me that the basic idea enshrined in Freire's chapter, of the contrast between the transformative or liberating model and the banking model is clear enough. There have been some good summaries posted. In the most simplified sense it brings us back to the Socratic notion of "not filling a vessel, but kindling a flame".
But, as the second question indicates, the question is how to do this?
If it is not our task to "make deposits" into students' minds, to reinforce learner passivity, but rather to spark inquiry, where is the best place to start?
The problem is, as some of the Twitter conversations have shown, that there is a double bind involved. If we aren't revolutionary from the outset, then we will simply become instruments of the oppressor, but if we are, are we not simply imposing our own agenda, and thus becoming the oppressor. How can this be avoided? How can the necessary atmosphere of dialogue be achieved, when so few of us, even the "teachers", actually engage in real dialogue (the deep listening, non-judgmental kind)?
I know a deeply sensitive educator who achieves this dialogic atmosphere quite remarkably. I have been exploring her approach (which is quite a challenging thing to do). Here are some my notes from that process, summarised a little.
- Her central aim at the start for the learners to have the sense that the learning experience is taking place within a safe space.
- A safe space is one where there is deep mutual respect, trust and compassion. Building this involves deep close listening, and accepting what others bring without judgment. A key element is that participants feel free to interact in any way that is acceptable to all the participants.
- The central role of the 'teacher' is to create and "hold" the space in such a way that learning can take place within it. This is done principally by being fully present. To be fully present is to be there, with the other participants, in the moment, rather than thinking of the next activity, or lunch.
- The verbal and non-verbal engagement of the teacher, and her responses to, and encouragement of, the verbal and non-verbal engagement of the other participants are also part of her presence. Transparency and dealing honestly with vulnerability are very important elements of this engagement.
- Her presence is gentle. It is in the way she listens, the way she and others are 'positioned' in the space, how she sits and moves, the way she looks and sees, the way she speaks, how and when she is silent, in the words she says, and what she speaks of as well. I have noticed that participants come into this presence and respond to it, not mimicking it but settling into compatible states.
- Her engagement, and that of the participants, is threaded through and around the ostensible themes of the interaction that takes place. In a sense it is built in the interstices of that conversation.
- As it develops and grows, the way the space is held becomes more and more subtle (there are less evident signs of it) and the holding evolves into a shared endeavour, with the 'teacher' as one more participant.
- It seems to work especially well, at least initially, in a physical space, but it is not bound to that space. It is more an emotional and attitudinal "space" where the learners' voices, and their stories can be heard.
I am still working towards an understanding of it. It is hard to collapse it into a set of things that are done, much of it is intuitive, or tacit, and seems to relate to her personality, and the spirit in which she approaches the work. Other elements seem more transferable.
What is clear to me is that what she creates is a space where the seed of inquiry can and does germinate…
That kind of space might be a good place to start…

Malaysian ex-PM pleads not guilty to new money-laundering charges
Najib Razak's long-ruling coalition suffered defeat in May 9 elections.
Former Malaysian prime minister Najib Razak has pleaded not guilty to three new money-laundering charges related to the alleged multibillion-dollar looting of a state investment fund.
Mr Najib, who suffered a stunning electoral defeat three months ago, spoke softly as he entered his plea in the High Court. He has previously accused Malaysia's new government of seeking political vengeance and vowed to clear his name in his trial.
The 65-year-old had pleaded not guilty to abuse of power and three counts of criminal breach of trust last month.
All of the charges against him involve the transfer of 42 million ringgit (£8 million) into his bank accounts from SRC International, a former unit of the 1MDB fund that international investigators say was looted of billions by Mr Najib's associates.
Abuse of power and breach of trust carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each charge. Each money-laundering count carries a penalty of up to 15 years in prison and a fine of not less than five times the sum laundered.
Najib set up 1MDB when he took power in 2009 for the stated purpose of promoting economic development, but the fund amassed billions in debts and is being investigated in the US and several other countries for alleged cross-border embezzlement and money laundering.
After leaked documents exposed the scandal, Mr Najib sacked critics in his government, muzzled the media and quashed investigations.
Public anger led to the defeat of Mr Najib's long-ruling coalition in May 9 elections and ushered in the first change of power since Malaysia gained independence from Britain in 1957.
The new government reopened the investigations stifled under Mr Najib's rule and barred him and his wife from leaving the country.
Police also seized jewellery and valuables valued at more than 1.1 billion ringgit (£208 million) from properties linked to Mr Najib.

Consumers rate a mention in mortgage broker review
If it's true that you can tell a lot about a person by who they keep company with, it's also true that you can tell much about a profession by what they talk about when they get together.
Take next week's mortgage industry talkfest. Mortgage brokers and other industry players have been invited to three days of networking and speeches - not to mention a few rounds of golf.
You'd be entitled to think much of the emphasis on this event would be on the borrowers who are the industry's livelihood. But you'd be disappointed.
The program for the conference - run by the Mortgage Industry Association of Australia - is big on telling mortgage brokers how to run their businesses more profitably. They can listen to Sydney Graduate School of Management professor Dr Stan Glaser's words of wisdom on the art of business negotiation. There's a session dubbed "Multiply your business by 10!" and others on networking, leadership and a motivational talk by wealth guru Robert Kiyosaki.
But apart from a session by ethicist Dr Simon Longstaff, of the St James Ethics Centre, there appears to be little focus on the big issues facing the industry and its relationship with regulators and consumers.
Just this week, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission delivered a very public slap on the wrist to leading mortgage broker Mortgage Choice when it announced it had accepted an enforceable undertaking from the broker to no longer engage in advertising which the ASIC found was misleading and deceptive.
Mortgage Choice (which has St George Bank among others as a shareholder) had claimed it was totally unbiased, provided unbiased home loan advice and that its consultants were paid the same regardless of which lender or loan those customers chose. ASIC found this to be stretching the truth.
In fact, it said, Mortgage Choice and its franchisees only advise in relation to the 27 lenders on its panel who pay the company commission. There are other lenders who are not on the panel.
ASIC also took issue with Mortgage Choice's customer charter, which said the company reviewed its lending panel from time to time "to ensure we have a cross-section of lenders who can offer what we consider to be the best choice of loans available". In fact, ASIC argued, membership of the panel depended, among other things, on the lenders' willingness to pay commission and other payments to Mortgage Choice.
As part of the undertaking, Mortgage Choice has agreed to review loans taken out by its customers and to compensate any borrowers who have lost money by relying on these claims. It will be interesting to see how that works. ASIC has said the intention is to compensate people who could have got a cheaper loan somewhere else, or who would not have used Mortgage Choice if they had known the full story. But the interest rate is only one consideration in taking out a home loan, and there's much room for argument as to whether alternative loan offerings would have been equally suitable.
Mortgage Choice is by no means the first broker to come to the attention of the regulator. Last September, ASIC accepted an enforceable undertaking from Fintrack after the company claimed in ads that it was paid virtually the same commission by all lenders, that it paid its staff by salary, not commissions, and compared loans from more than 40 lenders. ASIC found Fintrack actually received different levels of commissions and benefits from some lenders, passed on some of the commission to individual brokers, and only compared the loans of up to 30 lenders.
Last October, it received an enforceable undertaking from Express Loans regarding the company's marketing of 100 per cent home loans. It said the company had advertised 100 per cent loans without explaining the conditions, and had also provided written documentation that said the client had approval for a 100 per cent loan, when no such approval existed.
As we reported last week, horror stories are starting to emerge of borrowers paying well over the odds for mortgage brokers' services and loans.
The good news is the NSW Government recently passed legislation setting tougher standards for mortgage brokers. It comes into effect in August and will require, among other things, brokers to disclose commissions and other benefits they receive, as well as the fact that recommendations will be drawn from a limited range of lenders. This will reinforce the MIAA's existing code of conduct (which unfortunately applied only to members of the association) as we slowly move towards some sort of uniform national regulations.
The problem is that, like the financial planning industry a decade or so ago, the mortgage broking industry has become a magnet for cowboys looking to get rich quick. A lack of compulsory professional standards and regulatory loopholes, coupled with a booming property market, has meant the industry has grown dramatically without any real controls on the advice consumers are getting.
Like financial planners, mortgage brokers are also in the ethically dubious position of giving "advice" to consumers while being paid commissions by product providers who essentially see them as salespeople. The ruckus generated by the launch of Refund Home Loans, which rebates part of its commission to consumers, is another eye-opener. Refund this week lodged complaints with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority against ANZ, St George, and Westpac alleging they reneged on agreements to provide loans to the group after pressure was brought by other brokers.
There's nothing wrong with selling. As discount mortgage broker Nicolas Gruen from Peach Home Loans pointed out this week, no one expects a department store to stock every refrigerator on the market, and someone buying a fridge understands that the salesperson is there to sell, not to provide advice. That said, a half-decent salesperson would still guide you to the most suitable fridges for your needs.
It's when an industry's culture is about selling, but it makes claims to higher motives, that you run into problems.

Using a stick is very common in martial arts but there are a few reasons to try using a club as well. A stick is easier to whip around it comes in several varieties from a short stick to a staff and many can be wielded in both hands. A club is heavier at the end, like a baseball bat, and hits harder, what you lose in grip positions you gain in power. It's good to train with a club because in an emergency situation, most items available like flashlights and hammers are actually clubs.
Key Takeaways:
- -First of all, let us look at the difference between a stick and a club. A stick is generally a long tube, a cylinder that is the same diameter from one end to the other
- -On the other hand, a club is heavier than a stick. It is typically larger in diameter
- – A stick is easier to whip around with the wrist and forearm in the abaniko or witik strikes of the short stick styles –a heavy club isn't suitable for those strikes.
"While a club is clumsier when gripped by the heavy end, and doesn't lend itself to grip changes, you really have to ask yourself if the ability to change grips is really worth the corresponding loss in power."

Sustainable House By The Pond
Situated in a suburban area, south of San Francisco, this particular dream home comes from Turnbull Griffin Haesloop Architects and brings two strong attributes to the table: design and sustainability. The house was built considering the future owner's requests: he wanted place that "maximizes the drama of the pond and takes advantage of the privacy of the site". As a result, the architects decided to brake the main building into four separate smaller ones, all provided with large glass sliding doors that open up to face the garden and pond. The sustainability part is provided by solar panels, green building materials and special cool-off systems, without using air conditioner machines. -via Inhabitat

As you can probably tell, I'm getting all overexc ited with my make-up at the moment. This is because I have decided to take a make-up artist course later in the year. I need to learn something new and it might as well be something I will love and use so make-up it is.
This morning, whilst getting ready for our sale (anyone in London - please come to this today and say hello) I decided to try an earlier look - so I combined a couple of the 20's faces in Lauren Rennells' book (see previous post) to create this which I think looks like a late 20's early 30's makeup:
- Revlon Colorstay foundation - 110 Ivory
- Coty Airspun loose powder - Translucent Extra Coverage
- MAC blush - Dame
- Natural Collection eyeshadow - Spring Green
- Besame eyeshadow - Pistachio
- MAC eyeshadow - Vanilla
- Max Factor kohl pencil - 020 black
- Rimmel professional brow pencil - 002 Hazel
- Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara - black
- Ellnet hairspray on a brush to set brows
- MAC liner - Redd
- MAC liner - Cherry
- Besame lipstick - Carmine
So, foundation and powder - no under eye concealer today, too lazy. I then started on the eyes. I used the Spring green in a light wash all over the lid and up to the brow and then the pistachio, a dark, shimmery colour just in the inner corner or the eye. The MAC Vanilla used on the outer eye, above the crease to create a fade effect across.
The brows were different, I don't have thin enough brows for a real 30's look so went for the sort of stubby late 20's effect that some actresses seemed to favour at the time by concealing the hairs at the tail of the brow and squaring off the shape with pencil. This does look fairly obvious close up, as you can see but I can live with that util I get my hands on a less gingery pencil.
The lips are the other main change, here the top lip is under, rather than overdrawn, creating a more rosebud effect in comparison to yesterdays wartime frown. The cupid's bow is rounded and then the line to the corner dips down. For this I used Besame Carmine, one of my very favourite lip colours - an orange with just a touch of milkiness to it. I darkened the very inner corner of the mouth with a darker lipliner to add a little depth.
I like this look, though clearly my brows are far too big. It is quite different from my usual 40's look for which I very rarely use coloured eyeshadow, if any at all.
I'm feeling a bit Bette Davis in "Of Human Bondage" with all this make-up on and crazy frizzy hair.

"Mr. Excitement -- Wendell Ladner"
Kentucky Colonels forward Wendell Ladner was a popular player in Louisville. He was especially admired by female fans, due to his resemblance to Burt Reynolds.
In 1973, the Colonels decided to capitalize on Ladner's good looks by producing a "beefcake" poster. The team had him pose (a la Burt Reynolds in Cosmopolitan magazine) wearing only his Colonels shorts, and holding a red, white and blue ABA basketball. The posters were so popular that they sold out in only a few days.
Dancin' Harry and the "Whammy"!
The Indiana Pacers' incredible 1975 Playoff run was fueled by none other than "Dancin' Harry," a mysterious, strangely-dressed mascot hailing from parts unknown. Dancin' Harry's sole purpose was to put a hex -- the "Whammy" -- on the opposing team. During a time out, he would dance, twirl his cape, and shake his fingers at the other team's huddle (above right). From that point on, the Pacers' opponent was doomed. In the 1975 ABA Playoffs, Dancin' Harry's hex worked against the heavily favored San Antonio Spurs and Denver Nuggets, but failed in the Championship Series against the Kentucky Colonels.

Cincy Powell -- Strange Medicine
At the 1997 ABA Reunion, Cincy Powell revealed a long-kept secret: the bandages around his head in this photo were not really bandages -- they were a jock strap!
John Brisker -- Armed and Dangerous
During the 1970-71 season, forward/guard John Brisker gave new meaning to the words "run and gun." Playing for the hapless Pittsburgh Condors, Brisker heaved up an average of 28 shots per game. He finished third in the ABA scoring race (behind only Dan Issel and Charlie Scott), averaging 29.3 points per contest. And, he appeared on the 1970-71 Condors media guide (left) wearing a sombrero, a holster, and two pistols. Draw!
"Columbine Gold and -- Lavender?"
In 1971, Hall-of-Fame coach Alex Hannum was hired to lead the Denver Rockets. Right off the bat, Hannum tried something new and different. He changed the team's colors from orange and black to "Columbine blue and gold" -- the colors of Colorado's state flower.
The concept was a noble one. But under dim indoor lighting and after numerous washings, the uniforms became an embarrassing pale lavender. Surprisingly, the team continued to use the uniforms for two full seasons before they were completely redesigned.

This 1989 convertible XJS exudes sophistication with its sleek chrome and tan leather interior. Travelling thousands of miles from Malta, this fine specimen, fondly known as Jeremy, has made quite a journey, and is a far cry from the tired looking car we started work on earlier this year.
On arrival at KWE, it quickly became apparent that the bodywork was in much worse condition than was originally suspected. We found out that the car had been involved in a frontal collision, large amounts of rust were present, and much of it had been disguised with filler and newspaper!

November 19, 2004 my husband became a daddy for the first time with the birth of our daughter, Brianna. 2 years, 1 month later, December 19, 2006 we welcomed our first son, Jonah. And on July 9, 2009, the day before Steven's 31st birthday, we welcomed our 2nd son and 3rd child, Micah. Over the years I have watched him grow into being a wonderful father. He loves his children and they adore him! He works so hard to provide for our family, and he doesn't ever complain about it. He not only supports me being a stay at home mom, but he wouldn't have it any other way.
Over this past year Steven has been able to rebuild a relationship with his dad. They hadn't had a relationship for years, in all the time that we've been together (12 years) and even before that. But it's been amazing to watch this year as they have let the past go and have decided to move forward and build a life together. This was the first Father's Day that they had celebrated together in all those years, and it was very special to be apart of. He recently started renting a place along the river, has a boat, and lots and lots of fishing equipment. Some of it belonged to his younger brother, who passed away right before Christmas last year. It was pretty special watching the kids fishing with Uncle Dave's fishing poles. I'm sure he was smiling at all the fish they were reeling in! Steven took some pictures on his phone (of course, I took the camera, but didn't get it out of the car!!! What's wrong with me?!?! And I also realized we got no pictures of Steven with the kids, or him with his dad!! Geez, I'm slipping!) But we had a wonderful Father's Day, and I hope you all had a special father in your life that you got to celebrate as well!
|Brianna's first fish of the day-and Papa Steve showing it off!
|A close up of the fish-it was a pretty biggin!
|Jonah's first fish of the day- I think he looks like he's about to pinch it!
|Poor Daisy Duke- Micah decided at one point that she was horse and decided to ride her! She just laid there and let him climb all over her- what a good dog!
|Steve's boat- he bought it for $1000 (used, obviously) and had to put about another $600 in it, but it is awesome!!!
|This little guy waited so patiently while everyone was fishing for his first boat ride. He loved every single minute of it!
|We decided Brianna will be up on water skies by the end of the summer- I can see it now! Her daddy will have to teach her though, I've never been able to get up!
|Micah wasn't too sure what to think about the boat. At first he was terrified, but by the end he was yelling "Whee!!" with the rest of the kids!
|Ahhh, this is the life! I agree, dear boy! I agree!
Have a blessed day! It looks like ours is going to be a stormy one! I hope you get sun wherever you are!

The Community College of Allegheny County provides a supportive and transformative learning environment that prepares graduates to meet critical needs in the region's workforce.
At CCAC, we believe that life outside the classroom is an important part of your college experience. Each CCAC campus has a variety of activities to enhance your lifestyle – including athletics, cultural events and personal development seminars.
The CCAC Educational
Foundation is the fundraising and benefactor arm of the college. It seeks to
create vital connections between the college and the wider community
to ensure the ongoing viability of the college.
High school students will have the opportunity to earn college credentials at a greatly reduced cost.
PITTSBURGH-The Community College of Allegheny County and the Northgate School District are partnering to offer high school students an opportunity to earn a 30-credit General Education Certificate through the College in High School (CIHS) program, with classes taught onsite at Northgate High School. For an additional cost, students will have the chance to earn a 60-credit associate degree should they wish to pursue more advanced courses.
Beginning with the class of 2021, interested Northgate High School students will take placement exams during the summer between their freshman and sophomore years, ensuring they are prepared for the rigorous expectations of college-level work. Students needing additional support may register for developmental coursework over the summer, re-test at the beginning of their sophomore year and, given satisfactory placement test scores, enroll in CIHS program courses.
Students who are enrolled in the CIHS program and taking classes toward the CCAC General Education Certificate will pay just $110 per community college course (the cost of one credit) regardless of the number of credits associated with the course. Students will also pay a one-time $25 matriculation fee. Costs cover all registration fees, as well as access to CCAC's technology and academic support resources.
"This remarkable opportunity has been made possible through the collaborative work of faculty at both Northgate High School and CCAC North Campus," said Dr. Gretchen Mullin-Sawicki, president, North Campus and West Hills Center. "We are very excited to offer CCAC programming to Northgate High School students, who will be able to save a considerable amount of money while getting a great head start on their college careers."
During the 2017-2018 academic year, high school course syllabi were analyzed and re-worked to ensure that Northgate High School students would have the opportunity to engage in coursework that prepares them for college and career readiness.
"We are incredibly excited about this opportunity for our community, as it is important to us that all of our students have multiple academic and career pathways to choose from when they graduate. This unprecedented relationship with CCAC will afford students the opportunity to realize their potential for post-secondary success in whatever they do," said Dr. Caroline Johns, superintendent of schools, Northgate School District.
Obtaining a General Education Certificate, or even an associate degree, remains possible for the Classes of 2020 and 2019, with additional non-CIHS coursework completed on campus at one of several CCAC locations.
Credits awarded by CCAC are fully transferable, which could easily save students nearly $60,000 in tuition and room and board costs over the cost of private colleges and universities. The Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center, for example, has identified 10 associate degrees that are almost wholly transferable. As such, a Northgate High School student could enter postsecondary study as a junior at one of the 33 colleges or universities participating in the Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center's consortium of schools.
For more information, contact Mr. Shaun Tomaszewski, Director of Curriculum and Assessment for Northgate School District at firstname.lastname@example.com

District Rampur is located between Longitude 78-54 & 69-28 east and Latitude 28-25 & 29-10 north. Spread in area of 2367 km2 falls in Moradabad Division of Uttar Pradesh State. It is surrounded by District Udham Singh Nagar in North, Bareilly
in East, Moradabad in West and Badaun in South. The height from sea level is 192 m in north and 166.4 m in south. Situated on the NH 24, the state capital is 302 km in east and national capital is 185 km in west.
As per medieval history Rampur was the part of Delhi and was divided between Badaun and Sambhal districts. Being situated on upperside of Rohilkhand, it was known by the name Kather and was ruled by Katheria Rajputs. The Katheria Rajputs fought for about
400 years with the rulers of Delhi and later with Mughals. They fought with Naseeruddin Mahmood in 1253, Gaisuddin Balwan in 1256, Jalaluddin Firoz in 1290, Firoj Shah in 1379 & Sikander Lodhi in 1494. In the beginning of Mughal period the capital of Rohilkhand
was changed from Badaun to Bareilly and hence the importance of Rampur increased.
The Rohilla war of 1774–75 began when the Rohillas reneged on a debt they owed the Nawab of Avadh for military assistance against the Marathas in 1772. The Rohillas were defeated and driven from their former capital of Bareilly by the Nawab of Avadh with
the assistance of the East India Company's troops. The Rohilla State of Rampur was established by Nawab Faizullah Khan on 7 October 1774 in the presence of British Commander Colonel Champion, and remained a pliant state under British protection thereafter.
Nawab Faizullah Khan laid the first stone of the new fort at Rampur in 1775. Originally it was a group of 4 villages named Kather, the name of Raja Ram Singh. The first Nawab proposed to rename the city 'Faizabad', but many other places were known by the
name Faizabad so its name was changed to Mustafabad alias Rampur. Nawab Faizullah Khan ruled for 20 years. He was a great patron of scholarship, and began the collection of Arabic, Persian, Turkish and Urdu manuscripts which now make up the bulk of the Rampur
Raza Library. After his death his son Muhammad Ali Khan took over, but he was killed by the Rohilla leaders after 24 days, and Ghulam Muhammad Khan, the brother of the deceased, was proclaimed Nawab.
The East India Company took exception to this, and after a reign of just 3 months and 22 days Ghulam Muhammad Khan was defeated by its forces. The Governor-General made Ahmad Ali Khan, son of the late Muhammad Ali Khan, the new Nawab. He ruled for 44 years.
He did not have any sons, so Muhammad Said Khan, son of Ghulam Muhammad Khan, took over as the new Nawab. He raised a regular army, established courts and carried out many works to improve the economic conditions of farmers. His son Muhammad Yusuf Ali Khan
took over after his death. His son Kalb Ali Khan became the new Nawab in 1865.
Rampur (station code RMU) lies on the Lucknow-Moradabad line and junction point of Kathgodam railway line, which work under NER. Train connections include Avadh Assam Express, Jammu Tawi-Sealdah Express, Kashi Vishwanath Express, Howrah-Amritsar Express,
Ganga Sutlej Express and Satyagraha Express. Seat reservation is computerized. The station is served by the Northern Railways. Moradabad railway station is 30 km to the west of Rampur.
Going south-east, Bareilly railway station is the nearest major station. Hotel Tourist and Restaurant is only 5-minute walk from the railway station.The electrification of railway lines of Rampur junction is completed.
Various express trains come here. The important ones are Delhi-Kathgodam Shatabdi, Delhi-Bareilly Inter-city Express, Lucknow-Delhi Lucknow Mail, Delhi-Kathgodam Ranikhet Express, Bareilly-Bhuj Ala Hazrat Express, Amritsar-Howrah Amritsar Mail.
NH 24 passes through Rampur. Regular buses every ½ hr connect Rampur to Moradabad. Direct buses are also available from Delhi, Lucknow, Bareilly, Aligarh Haridwar, Rishikesh, Kanpur, Rupaidhiya, Agra etc. NH 87 originates at Rampur.

Rampur, located between longitude 79°05' E and latitude 28°48' N, is in Moradabad Division of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is surrounded by district Udham Singh Nagar in north, Bareilly in east, and Moradabad in west and Badaun in south. Spread in area of 2,367
km2, Rampur is 192 m above sea level in north and 166.4-meter in south.It is home to farms that cover long stretches of land. During rainy season just after a long period of rain the mountain ranges of Nainital can be seen in the north direction.
During Summers the temperature is usually from 43° C to 30° C and during Winters it is from 25° C to 5° C.
Rampur was traditionally famous for the knives known as Rampuri Chaaku, which even made their way to Bollywood crime thrillers in the 1960s and 1970s. Eventually the Government of Uttar Pradesh banned making knives longer than 4.5 inches in blade length,
leading to a drop in their popularity.
The Rulers of Rampur have had distinct impact on the architecture of the region. The buildings and monuments signify the presence of Mughal type architecture. Some of the buildings are very old and have been built over repeatedly in course of time.
One of the most well designed monument is the Fort of Rampur. It also houses the Raza Library or Hamid Manzil, the former palace of the Rulers. It has a sizable collection of Oriental manuscripts. The fort also houses the Imambara.
The Jama Masjid is one of the finest piece of architecture to be found in Rampur. It resembles the jama masjid in Delhi to some extent and has a beautiful interior. It was built by Nawab Faizullah Khan. It has a unique mughal touch to it. There are several
entry-exit gates to the masjid. It has three big domes and four tall minarets with gold pinnacles boasting of a royal touch. It has a main lofty entrance gate that has an inbuilt clock tower occupied by a big clock that was imported from Britain.
There are several entry-exit gates built by the Nawab. These gates are major entry-exit routes from the city. Examples are Shahbad Gate, Nawab Gate, Bilaspur Gate etc.
The court musicians of the Nawabs subsequently gave rise to various gharanas or schools of Hindustani classical music. Ustad Allauddin Khan (1881–1972) was a shagird (disciple) of the legendary Veena player, Wazir Khan, court musician of the Nawab, and went
on to establish the a modern Maihar gharana with disciples like Pandit Ravi Shankar, Nikhil Banerjee, Vasant Rai, Pannalal Ghosh, Bahadur Khan, and Sharan Rani.[14]
The Rampur-Sahaswan gharana of Hindustani classical music also has its origins in court musicians. Ustad Mehboob Khan, was a khayal singer and Veena player of the Rampur court; his son Ustad Inayat Hussain Khan (1849–1919), who trained and lived in the city,
founded the gharana.
The foundation of Jama Masjid in Rampur was laid by Nawab Faizullah Khan.It was built at the cost of 300,000 at that time and it was further completed by Nawab Kalb Ali Khan.The area around the Jama Masjid became a center of attraction and a big market was
developed around it, known today as the Shadab Market. A big jewellery market also lines the masjid known as Sarrafa. The shops were rented out to businessmen to meet the mosque's requirements. Hindus and Muslims both own these shops and customers belong to
both communities. This shows communal harmony that exists in this area.
Nawab Faizullah Khan, who ruled Rampur from 1774 to 1794, established the library from his personal collection of ancient manuscripts and miniature specimens of Islamic calligraphy in the last decades of the 18th century. It is one of the biggest libraries
of Asia. As all the succeeding Nawabs were great patrons of scholars, poets, painters, calligraphers and musicians, the library grew by leaps and bounds. Notable additions were made to the collection during the rule of Nawab Ahmad Ali Khan (1794–1840).
It contains very rare and valuable collection of manuscripts, historical documents, specimens of Islamic calligraphy, miniature paintings, astronomical instruments and rare illustrated works in Arabic and Persian. The Raza Library also contains printed works
in Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu, Pashto (having the original manuscript of the first translation of the Qur'an in addition to other important books/documents), Tamil and Turkish, and approximately 30,000 printed books (including periodicals) in various other languages.
State of the art planetarium is being established at Rampur. This will be India's first planetarium based on Digital Laser technology. The planetarium building is almost complete and equipments are being installed. The information will be directly fed by
Gandhi Samadhi is a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. It signifies the struggles that Mahatma Gandhi took over for the independence of India from British Rule.
Kothi Khas Bagh is a palace located at Rampur, about 30 km east of Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh. It was the erstwhile residence of the Nawabs of Rampur. Set in a 300-acre compound, this huge 200-room European style palace is a unique blend of Islamic architecture
and British architecture. It also features personal apartments and offices, music rooms and personal cinema hall of Nawabs. The huge halls, adorned with Burma teak and Belgium glass chandeliers, present a fine specimen of the architecture of a bygone era.
There is an Italian marble staircase towards the main bedrooms. The statue of Kalb Ali Khan, the second Nawab of Rampur, is an eye-catching one. Kothi Khas Bagh is now in a dilapidated state due to the age and neglect.
Ambedkar Park is a memorial to Bhimrao Ambedkar. It is a beautiful park with a railway line along its boundary.

The Flying Tigers
In Bob Pearce's June 4 My Word column ["How Japan used WWII to win the auto battle," June 4] it was erroneously stated that the pilots of The American Volunteer Group (AVG) "Flying Tiers" were successful against the Japanese pilots because the Japanese equipment may have been "junk," and because the American P-40 Warhawk fighter airplane was "so far superior to anything" the Japanese had.
That, unfortunately, is incorrect on both points.

Meet surging video, cloud and 5G traffic demands by using our super coherent Photonic Service Engine 3 (PSE-3) chipset to maximize the capacity and performance of every link in your optical network.
The PSE-3 implements probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) to maximize capacity over any distance and on any fiber — from metro to subsea. A concept pioneered by Nokia Bell Labs, PCS pushes optical performance up against the Shannon limit, the maximum possible information transfer rate.
PSE-3 is ideal for service providers and webscale companies looking to push the limits of their optical networks and increase the returns on their fiber investments.
The PSE-3 maximizes performance at any possible distance within an optical network. Offering powerful programmability, it enables you to move beyond the limited flexibility of 100G/200G networks and build a highly scalable, automation-ready network.
PSE-3 provides finely adjustable wavelength capacity from 100G to 600G with a single, uniform modulation format and channel size. This simplifies network operations and planning and facilitates the dynamic operations you need to deploy innovative services and lower your costs.
With PSE-3, you can get new levels of competitive potential from your network. You can meet growing bandwidth demands by automatically optimizing wavelength performance over any route. And you can do it while reducing total cost of network ownership.
The Shannon limit defines the maximum amount of information that can be transmitted over a given communications channel. The limit was defined in 1948 by Claude Shannon, a researcher at Bell Labs.
Probabilistic constellation shaping (PCS) is a new wavelength modulation technique that pushes optical wavelength performance up against the Shannon limit. It enables you to deliver the highest possible network capacity over any distance.
PCS intelligently shapes the signal constellation to perfectly match the optical characteristics of each wavelength route. It improves optical reach and performance to within a fraction of a dB of the Shannon theoretical limits while enabling a previously unachievable degree of bandwidth granularity efficiency.

Malta and Gozo - Day Six
Earlier this year I spent a week in Malta and Gozo with my wife and a couple of our best friends.
We'd made all sort of provisional plans for the Sunday, our sixth and last full day, but in the end the sunny weather dictated that we head for Golden Bay. This was much more developed than Ramla Bay on Gozo, and a lot less relaxed, with big parties of teenagers with blaring radios, and a hideous shrieking family group playing organised beach games. The car park above the beach was also the venue for a massive biker and souped-up car meet. The bay apparently has the remains of a fougasse in the rocks on one of the sides, but on a pretty thorough walk around the cliffs on my part I didn't see any evidence of it.
We headed back to Qawra, and got off the bus a bit before the bus station to walk along the sea-front. We stopped at a bar for a drink and a bite to eat. I am gutted that I have forgotten the name, as this was where I had the worst toasted ham and cheese sandwich I have ever had the misfortune to put in my mouth, and I would dearly love to name'n'shame them. Not only had the sandwich been toasted with buckets of butter on the inside, which had became a warm gooey mess, it was also served with a side salad. Nothing wrong with that, except that the salad hadn't been drained thoroughly enough, so the dampness then leaked across the plate and made the sandwich soggy. How can you get something so simple *so* wrong?
Our final meal in Malta was a return visit to Il Garra, the first bar we had drunk at, this time to eat. The food was OK, but we found the service disappointing. Despite having only three tables to serve, it seemed almost impossible to attract the eye of the waitress to order desert or another drink once our main meals had been served. In the end, keeping a careful eye on the time, we opted to head back to the hotel rather than be kept hanging around waiting any longer. There the girls retired, but V. and I stayed up to play some pool, and check out the last of the entertainment, which turned out to be as pitiful as Curious Mario Solo, but at least it was mostly instrumental.
The next morning was a blur as at 5am we got our minibus to the airport. The only things of note at Malta's airport being:
- A Hard Rock Café franchise displaying a "gold disc" for U2's The Joshua Tree album that proved beyond doubt to me that they spray-painted any-old-shit to frame for gold discs - because it might have had the correct labels, but my record shop training told me there was no way it was actually a copy of The Joshua Tree in the frame.
- In the early hours of the morning I am easily impressed by giant Playmobil figures
