Working From Home With a Baby: When Should I Be Working?
I'm a work-at-home and a stay-at-home mom. I'm the primary caretaker for my son. I have more patience with my son than my husband does and he's a mommy's body. My husband tries to help. But, when a boy wants his mommy it's sometimes just easier to give him his mommy.
I could probably write a whole additional article on how to deal with a husband in this situation. It's easier for my husband to bring our son to me because he doesn't understand his cries. Or my son just prefers me. Who knows really? But, you do have to get your spouse to learn to care for your child at least for a few hours. My husband will tell me every excuse in the book:
- He won't eat for me.
- He's crying because he wants you.
- I can't get him to stop crying.
You have to sit your husband/spouse down and ask them what they intend to do if you are not there for one reason or another. It is convenient for you to be there and the easy way out. But, if they cannot figure out how to handle the situation while you are there, how are they going to be able to do it without you?
I've found that what works best for myself and my husband is for me to work when my son is sleeping and when he is napping. Because he is a mommy's boy… Working when he is awake only works about 30 percent of the time. Most of the time when he is awake, he wants his mommy! He wants me to play with him, talk to him, love on him, or just give him attention. Which is fine, but you cannot write articles with a one year old playing the "pick me up and put me down" game.
I try to get a good solid 4-5 hours of work in when my son is asleep. If I can go over that great, but I can get a lot of work done when he's sleeping. Right now, my husband and I do not really sleep at the same time. But, he'll watch our son for a few hours so I can get solid sleep and then I work when they both sleep. It might not be the best situation, but it works for us.
At the very least, the best thing you can do is cut back on the amount of sleep you are trying to get each night. You are an adult. You might like getting 8 to 10 hours of sleep, but your body does not need it. I'm good with 2-3 hour naps scattered throughout the day. I also can just get a solid block of 4-6 hours of sleep and I'm fine. I realize, everyone is not me. But… Sometimes you have to choose between taking a nap while your little one is napping or working while he is napping. Working instead of napping just means more money.

NAGANO, Japan - — The Olympic flame was extinguished Sunday evening, a fitting final image of an 18th Winter Games that featured much fizzle, some sizzle, but thankfully no explosions, apart from the scheduled fireworks at the end.
In remarks at the Closing Ceremony, International Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch congratulated Nagano and Japan for displaying "the best organization in the history of the Winter Olympic Games," customary praise for the hosts, which he didn't bestow upon Atlanta after the 1996 Summer Games.
That Olympics was marred by a fatal bomb blast and rampant commercialism. The Japanese responded with an effort that was tasteful, secure and remarkably efficient, despite weather problems and trying conditions.
Olympic organizers were also pleased that competing nations, especially the United States (embroiled in escalating tension with Iraq), respected the Olympic Truce urged by the United Nations last fall.
G. Frank Joklik, head of the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee, which will be the host for the Winter Games in 2002, said Sunday his city has a tough act to follow.
"It's our turn now," Joklik said about the first Winter Games to be held in the United States since Lake Placid, N.Y., in 1980.
The Nagano Games, featuring seven sports and 68 events, had almost as many compelling flops as triumphs.
The most dramatic was the spectacular crash of Austrian skier Hermann Maier in the men's downhill, a race postponed nearly a week because of bad weather. But Maier survived the body-flipping spill - which sent him slicing through two fences and landing on a third - with hardly a scratch, and he showed the indomitable spirit of competition by returning to win two gold medals over the next four days.
"I thought everything would be broken," said his girlfriend, Petra Wechselberger. "Maybe he really is an alien; I don't know."

Analysis of stem-cell associated genes in breast cancer as biomarkers and predictors of cancer malignancy – Prof Adrienne Edkins
Prof Adrienne Edkins
Title of the project
Analysis of stem-cell associated genes in breast cancer as biomarkers and predictors of cancer malignancy.
Project Description
The aim of this project is to conduct a novel fundamental study to support two clinical needs for breast cancer. These are: (1) the identification of new diagnostic or prognostic markers that correlate with clinical outcome and can therefore be utilized to inform treatment; and (2) the development of more effective treatments against novel targets, particularly in the case of aggressive and metastatic tumours that are over-represented in African communities (such as triple negative breast tumours).
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. While there have been advances in breast cancer treatment through the development of new drugs, in most cases, particularly for aggressive or advanced breast cancer, there are few effective treatments. In many cases, early diagnosis and classification of tumours can aid significantly in treatment and cure. One effective way of categorizing breast cancer is to compare the levels of different genes between tumours in order to identify what is known as a 'genetic expression signature'. If this genetic expression signature can be correlated with the biological responses of the different tumours, it may have prognostic or diagnostic value. This means it may be useful in identifying tumours that may be drug resistant or more aggressive, and therefore support treatment choices. Recent research has suggested that breast cancers, along with other cancers, may develop from a rare population of cancer cells that are biologically different from the majority of the tumour cells. These cancer-initiating cells, known as cancer stem cells, are defined by having stem cell-like characteristics. Stem cells are early undifferentiated cells that are able to divide and differentiate into the range cells of the body. In a similar analogy, cancer stem cells are considered as those cells that can initiate tumour formation, as well as divide and differentiate into all the cells contained within a cancer. This cancer stem cell theory can neatly explain why many cancers are heterogeneous, yet are derived from a single ancestor cell. The cancer stem cell theory further suggests that those cancers associated with stem cell-like characteristics are more aggressive, difficult to treat and more likely to spread. It should therefore be theoretically possible to examine the levels of stem cell associated genes in different breast cancers, to obtain an indication of the response that that cancer will have to treatment, or the likelihood that it will spread and develop a secondary metastasis. Certain types of breast cancer are more likely to be linked with stem cell characteristics. In particular, a highly aggressive and difficult to treat breast cancer, known as the triple negative subtype, has been associated with a high propensity for stem cell characteristics. Interestingly, Southern African women appear predisposed to this triple negative breast cancer, for reasons that are not completely understood. Some studies have been conducted in African American women, but we have little molecular information on the link between stem cell characteristics and breast cancers from indigenous South African populations. Much of what we know about cancers in African populations is derived from studies in African American women, who may share a genetic heritage with Southern African women, but are exposed to substantially different environmental factors.
During our study we will evaluate whether there is a correlation between stem cell characteristics and breast cancer biology. Using cell line models and clinical samples we will evaluate whether the gene profiles we generate might be useful in diagnosis of breast cancer subtypes or clinical outcome, or might inform particular treatment strategies. We will focus on the triple negative breast cancer subtype and will generate population specific data that will aim to enhance our understanding of why indigenous Southern African women are more predisposed to this type of breast cancer. Through this study, we hope to determine whether the cancer stem cell theory of cancer development is relevant in the South African context and to identify new targets for future therapeutic intervention.
Non-scientific Report
Our research project is aimed at understanding how stem cell genes control the biology of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). TNBC appears to disproportionately affect young black women and is generally considered more difficult to treat due to the lack of defined markers. Stem cell genes are those normally enriched in populations of stem cells (i.e. undifferentiated cells that occur in embryos and tissues and may divide to give rise to other differentiated cells in the body). Our aim is to determine whether stem cell genes are good markers of aggressive TNBC. To do this, we need to understand whether high levels of stem cell genes (such as Oct4 and Sox2) are related to TNBC breast cancers that are more aggressive or difficult to treat. We used validated TNBC cell lines to characterize the link between the stem cell genes and TNBC.
We initially characterized the levels of expression of the stem cell genes in TNBC cell lines and correlated the transcript levels with the clinical history and malignant biology of the cell lines. From this study, we identified the stem cell gene, Oct4, as having a possible relationship with malignant characteristics and therefore we subsequently focused on testing whether we could find a direct relationship between the levels of Oct4 and the malignant characteristics of cells in laboratory studies. In order to complete these studies we required defined systems that would allow us to link the level of Oct4 to biological characteristics. To this end, we established two different model systems that allow us to either increase or decrease the levels of Oct4, relative to a control, and study the effect on the cell's biology.
The data from these two model studies correlate with each other. That is, when we increase the levels of Oct4 in cells that don't normally have high levels of the protein, we see an increase in malignancy, particularly with respect to an increase in cell growth. In contrast, when we deplete the levels of Oct4 in cells that naturally express high levels of the protein, we find that the cells grow slower. Together these data suggest that Oct4 may directly regulate cell growth in cancers and the levels of Oct4 may therefore be indicative of a fast-growing tumour. We are awaiting the results from clinical samples, but our data currently suggests that Oct4 may be used as a prognostic marker for aggressive tumours.

At last, the moment is finally here. Some of XXL's hottest Freshman from this year have come together for their cypher including Playboi Carti, XXXTentacion, Ugly God and Madeintyo. Atlanta's own Sonny Digital handled the cutthroat beat which saw each Freshman go in with their unique styles, and when I say unique, I mean arguably the most diverse cypher yet. Not only that, it's really no surprise that each artist surprised with their lyrical abilities, but I'd have to say that X took the cake for maybe the most intense freestyle I've seen in recent XXL history. That being said, this Freshman class has definitely impressed up to now, so don't waste any more time and check out the latest installment in XXL cyphers below!

Unite union to discuss fuel tanker deal
The Unite union will meet next week to discuss a proposed deal aimed at ending the fuel tanker drivers' dispute.
The deal was tabled on Friday following six days of talks between the union and officials from six distribution firms.
The threat of a strike over safety, pay and working conditions resulted in panic buying at petrol stations.
About 60 union representatives from across the country will discuss the deal and have until Friday to accept the proposals or announce a strike.
Both sides have agreed that the details of the deal will remain confidential.
Outside the headquarters of the conciliation service Acas, the assistant general secretary of Unite, Diana Holland, said the talks had been "intense and complex".
She said: "We have done as much as we can and we have a document we now can discuss. But we will keep the process confidential until the people who matter make the decision."
'Resolve dispute'
BBC transport correspondent Richard Westcott described it as "big step forward" but added that the big sticking point appeared to be pay.
He said it was unlikely the talks among union delegates would begin on Monday, because no venue had yet been chosen to host the discussions.
They will either accept, reject or demand changes to the deal, and have until Friday to do so.
Unite represents 2,062 tanker drivers, covering 90% of supplies to forecourts, and is calling for minimum standards of pay, hours, holiday and redundancy.
Alan Davison, representing the tanker companies, said: "We are now in a position where we have a final set of proposals and hopefully we can resolve this dispute."
Peter Harwood, of Acas, said he was pleased with the result following two weeks of talks.
He said: "Acas has been shuttling between the parties and the process has been a long and challenging one. But we are pleased to announce that a set of proposals have been reached."
Under rules governing strikes, the union has to give seven days' notice of any industrial action.
Earlier on Friday, the union had been given an extension to its deadline for declaring strikes so that talks could continue.
Under employment law, the union should have made a decision by late afternoon on whether to call its members out on strike after they voted last month for industrial action.
The Department for Energy and Climate Change said it welcomed the possible deal.
A spokesman said: "We hope that this will lead to the threat of strike action being lifted. The government continues to believe that any strike action is wrong and unnecessary."
There were chaotic scenes at garages across the UK earlier this month as people queued for petrol after the government advised motorists to top up their tanks.
The government faced criticism that its advice had caused panic buying.
Army drivers have been trained to deliver fuel to petrol stations in case of a possible strike.

As you may have heard, it's a sad day for love. Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin announced that they are ending their ten year marriage. That's right, GOOP and Coldplay are getting a divorce. Gwyneth announced it herself in her own blog, calling it a "conscious uncoupling," because she is incapable of being unpretentious and must always separate herself from the huddled masses. "Divorce is so gauche, dahlink," she will tell her attorney. "I would like to file for a conscious uncoupling." By the way, don't be surprised if you can't access goop.com. As a friend so wisely observed, Gwyneth's request for privacy sent so much traffic to her blog, it crashed the website.
Despite their pretension, many (including myself) were surprised that the longstanding couple was um, uncoupling (consciously, of course). I did some digging and here are a few possible reasons for the split:
1. Chris Martin got too jealous of how chummy Gwyneth is with Beyonce and Jay Z.
2. It's all been downhill since that thing with CeeLo and those puppets at the Grammys.
3. Gwyneth was angry about Chris's upcoming stint as mentor on The Voice, because she thinks she's the professional singer now. "I covered Adele!" she screamed.
4. Chris was angry because she cancelled his subscription to Vanity Fair and he really likes the pictures.
5. Someone played a Radiohead album for Gwyneth and now she can't get Thom Yorke out of her head.
6. This:
7. Chris got sick of Gwyneth rapping "like a bad mutha" while she cooked dinner.
8. "Viva la Vida"
9. Chris overheard her say that she'd rather "smoke crack" than eat cheese from a tin. Maybe he really loves cheese from a tin, I don't know. Maybe he just overheard her saying any number of these quotes.
10. The couple argued over money, such as her $300/day food plan.
11. Shallow Hal
12. This:
In all seriousness, divorce sucks and I hope Gwyneth, Chris and their children get through this smoothly. I look forward to next week's posts from GOOP, where subscribers will get the top ten cashmere afghans to curl up in alone and the best pomegranate-cucumber cleanse for newly single moms.

JAMMU, JULY 3– Underscoring on early completion of renovation works of the prestigious Abhinav theatre, Minister of State for Education, Culture and Information Priya Sethi said the theatre is one of the key destinations for art lovers and literary activities in the Jammu city. She said the repair and renovation works would be expedited and very soon the theatre would be open to public.
"We are committed to revive activities of art and culture in the state and both Tagore and Abhinav theatres would be developed on most modern lines," she stressed.
Priya said this while reviewing activities of the J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages, here on Thursday.
She also reviewed the progress of renovation works underway in the Abhinav theatre complex.
Secretary J&K Academy of Art, Culture and Languages Dr. Abdul Aziz Parray, Writers, Academicians, officers and staff of the Academy were present on the occasion.
The Minister directed the Academy to prepare and submit status report on the works underway in the Abhinav theatre. She said necessary funding would be arranged so that the works get completed at the earliest and the theatre is made functional.
"Now that the new Secretary has joined we hope that the Academy would revive its activities and very soon art and literature would get a boost in the state," she added.
She said the routine functions of the Academy with regard to recognising and promoting writers, artists and art forms of the state would be revived. Various committees and sub-committees would be formulated to advise the academy on matters of art, culture and language in the state, she added.
Priya called upon the Academy Secretary to prepare a Vision document for the Academy and directed for computerisation of the library and documentation of books and old records.
She said regional Language Drama festivals should be organised and cultural exchange programmes should be started within the state as well as with other states also.
The Minister said very soon a thorough review of the activities of the Academy in Kashmir would be taken and appropriate steps would be initiated to strengthen the Academy.

I was very excited to get the shot. I almost missed it. I had stepped inside to start feeding E. I had held him off as long as I could. The deck is right off the kitchen so I figured if it came by I could step out and get the shot. To be honest I had just about given up and decided it was landing from the south instead of the north, and it did. On the last go around it flew over our house. Most of the planes going into Dulles land from the north and fly over our home. It was just my luck that today the shuttle might not. I would like to thank the pilots for taking that one last loop. It made the plane noise we live with everyday so worth it.
I am glad I got to watch the final approach, even if it was such a quick glance. I am even happier that I got to watch it with my sweet boy. Even if he will never remember.

An accusation of smash and grab grand theft is very serious, and the crime carries with it severe penalties. The crime of smash and grab grand theft occurs when an individual knowingly takes or endeavors to take property valued at $300 or more from another person, with the intent to temporarily or permanently deprive that person of his or her right to the property; and, in so doing, causes damage to real property in excess of $1,000 or uses a motor vehicle as an instrumentality in the theft, other than as a getaway vehicle, and thereby causes damage to real property.
This charge can be complex. If you are accused, call (954) 371-0770 to speak with our Weston criminal defense attorney.
Smash and grab grand theft carries a penalty of up to 30 years in prison,
and a fine of up to $3,000. What is more, an individual convicted of smash
and grab grand theft becomes a convicted felon, and will consequently
lose important civil rights, such as the right to vote and the right to
possess firearms.
It is imperative that an individual accused of smash and grab grand theft seek representation from an experienced Weston criminal defense lawyer.
Attorney Kevin F. Moot is an experienced criminal litigator, with experience in taking theft cases to trial. Contact the Law Office of Kevin F. Moot now for a free consultation to discuss your potential defense.

- Students (including MBAs, Graduates, BBAs & aspiring drop-outs): No matter which area you end up pursuing, be it HR, Finance, Marketing, Sales or creating your own entrepreneurial venture, you cannot do it with in-depth understanding of Digital Media.

Actress Rachel Mcadams had to abandon her vegetarian diet after realising her restricted eating habits were leaving her too "tired" to work.
The Notebook star banished all meat products from her life and instead began relying on heavy carbohydrates to get her energy.
But animal-loving McAdams admits she eventually caved in and returned to her carnivorous ways - because her body started to deteriorate without proper nutrition.
She tells Glamour magazine, "I was one (a vegetarian) once, but it made me very tired. I just ate pasta - I was the most unhealthy vegetarian ever! I'd like to try it again now that I know about (popular meat alternatives) quinoa and bulgur. I think I'd be better the second time around."

Auto Transport
Along with your furniture and accessories, you may also have to hire an auto transport company to move your car to the new apartment. When choosing an auto transport company you should research their services, prices and reputation in order to get high quality but affordable transport service.
Visit local auto transport companies' websites and read customers' reviews. Also use the companies' auto transport rate calculator so you can get an idea of the average price you'll pay for this service. Ask your current landlord or friends if they can recommend a good auto transport company.
It's always important to choose an auto transport company that is licensed and insured because you want to make sure that you'll be able to collect damages should something happen to your car during the moving process. Also ask if you're required to have gas in the car when they arrive at your apartment, and if you're able to pack some of your heavy belongings in the car.
Stay away from auto transport companies that ask you to pay them cash up front before they transport your car but pay the full price once the car is delivered. You should also ask about the quality of the equipment that will be used to transport your vehicle. This is important because you want to ensure that your car will be delivered to the new apartment safely. Bring someone who knows about auto transport to inspect the company's vehicles for safety.
When choosing an auto transport company, you should give him special requirements regarding the handling of your car, and if possible, make copies of your car's manual to give to the company so they can troubleshoot any problems that may arise during the moving process.
Choose an auto transport company that is knowledgeable of towing all kinds of vehicles because a company that only tows small to medium-sized trucks isn't a good choice if you own a minivan. Read the terms of your contract carefully, especially when it comes to their liability for minor damages to the car.

Mother of nation's No. 1 prospect interested in learning more about Auburn's academics
Rashan Gary will take an official visit to Auburn this weekend for the Iron Bowl, and things hopefully go much better than during his last visit with the Tigers.
Gary, the nation's No. 1 prospect out of Paramus Catholic High School (N.J.), took an unofficial visit to Auburn in June. His mother was not initially impressed with the Tigers' academic pitch.
The 5-star defensive lineman's mother, Jennifer Coney, was shown a video about the daily schedule of an Auburn football player. It documented everything from a player getting up in the morning, to going to school, tutoring and weight lifting. Coney was not impressed.
"They showed step-by-step the day in the life of a football player. And then when it was all over everybody looked at me and I was like, 'Really? I don't care about him (the player in the video),'" Coney told SEC Country in an interview this week.
"I just tell you how I feel. I don't care about him, I want to know what you are going to do for Rashan.
"It was a great movie. That's not why I spent my money to go down to Alabama to see."
Academics is a real sticking point for Coney when it comes to her son's looming college decision. She walked away from the video having more questions than answers, and was hoping for a more detailed report about Auburn's academic regimen.
"When Rashan is that far away and things don't go good and he has a bad day, he can always call me but sometimes you need somebody to talk one-on-one and not over the phone," Coney said. "Who is that person? When I go to college visits I have a ton of questions and I want them answered. You can't answer them with a film about somebody else."
But as quickly as her doubts arose, they quickly faded. Following the session, Coney was promised the information she wanted after lunch, and the Auburn staff delivered.
By the time Coney was done with lunch last summer, she told SEC Country that Auburn had sent the masses to ease her concern. She said that several high-ranking Auburn academic officials were at her service, as well as people in charge of individualized scheduling and tutoring.
"So five or six people were there. And they sat there and broke it down," Coney told SEC Country. "That was impressive to me because not only did the football staff feel Rashan was that important to them. But that what I needed was important to them. They were home with their families and they came out."
Gary has previously taken official visits to Michigan and Ole Miss, but Auburn will have its chance to impress this weekend. Gary is tentatively scheduled to go to Southern California for his fourth official visit on Jan. 15. For his final trip, Gary is deciding between Alabama, LSU, Clemson and UGA, among others.
Gary made his recruiting trip to Ole Miss last weekend, and she was asked how the academics of Ole Miss compared to Auburn?
"Their academic pitches are all the same," she said.

Infiniti Donates More than $1 Million Through NCAA Partnerships
Infiniti is committed to enriching the communities it works in and helping them grow. The automaker has contributed to startup business accelerators, helped support new museums, and funded internship competitions. Its latest accomplishment is contributions of over one million dollars to various charities through its close partnership with the NCAA.
This year, Infiniti's donations were attributed to the brand's involvement in the Infiniti Coaches' Charity Challenge, Coaches vs. Cancer, and the Hardwood Heroes game. Each program and event was a public way for the high-profile coaches of the NCAA to offer their support to important causes, and Infiniti was proud to offer the financial means to drive the point home.
In the Infiniti Coaches' Challenge, several rounds of online voting took place, pitting NCAA coaches against each other in a virtual popularity contest. The winning coach earned $100,000 for their favorite charity, and Infiniti also made donations to other charities through the program. This year's winner was Coach John Beilein from the University of Michigan, and his charity of choice was the ChadTough Foundation that helps raise awareness and fund research into Pediatric Brain Tumors and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma.
The Coaches vs. Cancer program was established by the NCAA, National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), and the American Cancer Society, with Infiniti taking the place as the program's largest corporate donor. Coaches vs. Cancer raises money for cancer research and strives to bring awareness of the many different types of cancer during the high-profile March Madness season. The Hardwood Heroes game wraps up the campaign, pitting two teams of cancer survivors, led by two NCAA coaches, in a friendly game of basketball in the NCAA Final Four stadium.
It has recently been announced that Infiniti as renewed its corporate sponsorship with the NCAA for the next five years, so we can expect to see even more charitable giving through this partnership for many years to come.

Metabolol II
Champion Nutrition Metabolol II | Now on sale at Tigerfitness
Metabolic Optimization for Increased Muscle Mass, Improved Recovery and Reduced Body Fat.
Back in 1984, when the original version of Metabolol was introduced it revolutionized the way that people thought about eating for better physical performance. For the first time, athletes had the chance to use a functional, easily digested food that improved energy, increased stamina, sped up recuperation and allowed athletes to pack on more muscle without gaining fat.
In fact, so remarkable was this product that Dr. Thomas Fahey, one of this country's most respected exercise physiologists, conducted a number of studies based on Metabolol. His astonishing results confirmed the benefits of Metabolol. In fact, in one of his studies, Fahey demonstrated that even though they consumed a higher calorie diet than controls, subjects using Metabolol actually lost fat! That's right; they got leaner while eating more!
Obviously, other companies have attempted to "knock off" Metabolol. Nevertheless, none have completely succeeded. That's because while it is easy to duplicate the "idea" of Metabolol only Michael Zumpano, the man who created Metabolol; truly understands what is required for duplicating the metabolisms of the genetic elite.
Try Metabolol II for yourself and see the kind of difference metabolic optimization can make in your performance. You should notice more energy during your workout, less fatigue when you're done training and better recovery so you can train hard again sooner. One can and you'll understand why optimizing your metabolism is crucial to getting the most out of your body.
Try Metabolol II and discover:
- Complex carbs, protein, MCT (fat), BCAA's, lipoic acid, succinates and PAK all in one product.
- Longer lasting energy and more intense workouts.
- Stimulate protein synthesis and build more lean muscle tissue.
- Burn fat for sustained energy while reducing your body's conversion of carbs to fat.
- Speed your metabolism. Metabolol II's proprietary blend of ingredients actually helps to increase your body's metabolic rate, allowing you to get stronger and leaner at the same time.
- How to maintain more stable blood sugar during exercise.

Quick reminder…part of the goal of being on the independent track is that you are able to pace yourself. It's not about doing exactly what I ask the moment I ask it. Rather, it's about knowing what you're responsible for, and completing those responsibilities as you see fit in the overall time you have.
For us, that 'overall time' is going to be a week. Each week you'll have a set of things you're responsible for. You can turn any of them in at any time throughout the week, but they are due on Fridays, which is when I will be checking them for completion. Some items will only be checked for completion, others will be assessed for effort, quality, understanding, etc.
Naturally, you're always welcome to work ahead if you like.

Having burnt a hole in the roof of the house at the age of 13 whilst creating his first ever short film entitled 'FireGod' due to some ill-advised 'in-camera' pyrotechnic visual effects, Joe's been making and creating films from a young age.
His first proper foray's into work that didn't breach several health and safety standards came through working in one of London's best live venues where Joe interviewed and filmed some of the world's best live music acts.
Since then, his love for music and poetry has informed and framed Joe's lyrical and cinematic documentary style. Taking what he's learnt from creating authentic moments in documentary, Joe's approach to his comedy and drama work infuses realism and improvisation to create some truly memorable films.
