Regional Selfies: Communities and Self-Documentation
Through documentary photography and social media Victoria Cooper and Doug Spowart have explored connections with Place in urban and regional communities in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. The purpose of these Nocturne Projects is to capture everyday scenes of each community in nocturnal light, dusk and dawn. These images are then posted on a Nocturne project Facebook page to evoke stories, memories and shared experiences from the community.
In each project Spowart and Cooper found different ways to include community participation. In 2014, they were invited to work in Miles, a major town of the Western Downs Region of Queensland. The Nocturne Miles Community Documentary project sought to engage with the broader public to undertake self-documentation projects and skill development in nocturne photography. Both local and temporary residents who enjoy taking photos, as well as those more skilled in photography were all invited to participate. After an initial workshop, Spowart and Cooper mentored the 18 participants to create images for the project including self-portraits and daily assignments and produce Facebook reports and a zine.
To begin the project consultations were undertaken with staff from the Western Downs Regional Council's Cultural Development team Ashleigh Campbell and Anne Keam at Dogwood Crossing to refine the project to match the needs of their community. Then centre staff sought out members of the community who could be interested in the project. Possible candidates then completed an Expressions of Interest form to provide some information on their experience and the photography tools they had access to e.g. DSLR camera, point and shoot camera, mobile phone or tablet cameras. Another important consideration was that the applicants were going to be in the region during the project to participate in briefings, workshops and shootouts as well as the final day's zine making activity.
While numbers were limited there was a desire by the artists and Dogwood Crossing that the project accessible to as many participants and be as inclusive as possible. The one proviso was that project participants needed to live and/or work in or near Miles including the smaller surrounding towns or on properties/work camps in the Miles district.
The participants engaged with the project in a variety of different ways including:
- An initial introduction to the project and skill development workshop;
- Guided evening photography shoot-outs in the main Street of Miles as well as at the Miles Historic Village;
- Daily photo tasks over the week of the project assigned through a project Facebook group;
- Optional mentoring sessions, where required, to enable images to be prepared and uploaded for the project;
- Display of participants photos to a digital screen at Dogwood Crossing; and
- A practical 'zine' making workshop.
The project began on Sunday November 30 with an introductory workshop, briefing and a shootout. Progressively images were collated and uploaded to the Nocturne Miles Community Facebook page. Each day a new topic was presented a challenge and their interpretation formed into a photocollage. Communication with the participants was made through a private Facebook group page that enabled hear 24hour contact with participants and Cooper+Spowart. Some participants came into Dogwood Crossing with their photos or with requests for support in making and/or optimising better photographs. On Wednesday evening special access was provided to the Miles Historical Village for group to experiment with 'painting with light' and 'projection' techniques.
Cooper and Spowart added their images to the Facebook page as well and some visitors to the page posted stories about the places pictured. By the project's end the page had 241 Page Likes, 60 Posts and the Total Reach was 17,771. Both the group page and the community page are still active.
Some of the photocollages that formed the 8 page Zines that were made using the Dogwood Crossing's A3 colour photocopier. These were cut and folded into zines that were inserted into a red and yellow special edition of the Centre for Regional Arts Practice's Artists Survey Books.
Some of the Photocollages
The photocollages presented here are examples of the image sets created by the participants. It is interesting to note that the original images may have emanated from all camera formats fro iPhone, simple digital point-n-shoot to sophisticated DSLRs.
We hear a lot about documentary photographers and student photographers travelling out into the country to create documents of life outside of the metropolis. Once on the ground these photographers seek out subjects to pursue and photograph. In this way significant documents are created of these outlying communities. However, the subject of the of the photographer's gaze, and what is photographed, is based on the view of 'outsiders'. The photographs they make may match preconceived ideas, and mythologised opinions, that they bring with them rather than how the people who inhabit these places feel about how and where they live.
What the Nocturne Miles project shows is perhaps that in an age where everyone can be a photographer what is important is the photograph itself. What then stands out the most is the link between the photograph and it's authenticity. With this in mind these photographs are actual fragments of the lives of local people, whether they are from the farm, or people engaged in extractive industries, or those who work in administration roles or students at school, their voice in this conversation adds another view we can have of our regional communities.
The project was undertaken between November 21 and December 7 2014 and was overseen by Western Downs Regional Council's Cultural Development Coordinator Ashleigh Campbell and Cultural Development Officer Anne Keam. The success of the project was also made possible by the enthusiastic support of the WDRC team at Dogwood Crossing.

NOCTURNE BUNDABERG: A new community Facebook project
LINK TO FACEBOOK 'Bundaberg Nocturne'
In our past Nocturne Artist in Residency projects in Grafton and Muswellbrook we were the photographers selecting and documenting place in the nocturnal light and then uploading the images of Facebook for community to see and comment. As part of the Queensland Festival of Photography 5 we were approached to undertake an Artist in Residency in the central Queensland's Wide-Bay Burnett region. Centred on Bundaberg, Childers and local coastal towns, the project included an exhibition of our Nocturne works and a Facebook documentary project. On this occasion we decided to connect with local photographers to collaborate with us in the documentary project.
As a preliminary to the project we visited Bundaberg in early January and began initial documentary work. In the 1980s Doug had a significant connection with amateur photographers from the camera club movement in Bundaberg. For some time he had contact with the region's photo guru Ray Peek so a visit to the hero of the Bundaberg's photography scene was a necessity. So too was a connection with Shelley Pisani from Creative Regions and key people from the Bundaberg Regional Galleries including exhibitions Officer Trudie Leigo. The Facebook site was established, initial images were uploaded and 'Page Likes' attracted.
On our return in April we met with the group of Bundy photographers that applied to work with us through a formal Expressions of Interest process. A special Nocturne photography introductory workshop was conducted at which techniques and workflows were discussed and demonstrated. Of particular concern were issues to do with personal safety and security. Then the photographers were set loose to shoot subjects of personal interest, optimise them and upload to the Nocturne Bundaberg Region Facebook page. Within a few days the Facebook page had 180 'Likes', numerous comments, shares and 3,500 views. Via an online group photographer participants were provided with support, feedback and mentoring to enhance their photoimaging skills. Although many are accomplished photographers, we were happy to work with those that required assistance or to review work when requested.
On Saturday the 12th of April our exhibition 'Speaking About Place' was opened at CHARTS gallery in Childers and the Bundaberg Regional community was fully engaged in the project. Over the next few weeks the addition of new photographs will continue and the community will be invited to begin a new dialogue about the region. They will, through the Nocturne Bundaberg Region project, be 'Speaking About Place'.
The project will continue as a Facebook page and from this community resource may emerge exhibitions, books and other online opportunities. It is envisaged that many of the local photographers will make available images to the 'Picture Bundaberg' Archive, which is administered by the Bundaberg Regional Libraries.
The Nocturne Bundaberg Region Media Release follows:
Speaking About Place: The Nocturne Project
Speaking About Place – an exhibition of collected images from The Nocturne Projects from Muswellbrook to Grafton as well as images from the Bundaberg region. Nocturne Projects showcase a variety of photographs highlighting the beauty of the early evening and its nocturnal light. Speaking About Place will be on show at the Childers Art Space (CHARTS) on Saturday 12 April in conjunction with the Queensland Festival of Photography 5.
Toowoomba-based photographers Doug Spowart and Victoria Cooper work in the early evening's nocturnal light, a time of day where the afterglow of sunset and the glow of streetlights transform the everyday experience of place into something magical. Photographs created at this time require long camera exposures and therefore produce images that can capture blurred movement of people and vehicles.
"An important aspect of the Nocturne aesthetic is the affect of colour in different light conditions: ambient daylight, artificial lighting, car head and tail light trails. These images create a sense of drama, something that you'd generally see in a setting for a movie scene. It's a place where stories could be told or evoked" Mr Spowart explained.
Spowart and Cooper initially visited Bundaberg early January to commence stage one of their Artist in Residence at the Bundaberg Regional Gallery. As part of the Speaking About Place exhibition, Nocturne Project: Bundaberg Region has selected 21 photographers from across the region to work alongside Spowart and Cooper through April. Photographers will have the opportunity to gain invaluable nocturnal photography skills from two leading artists. After the initial capture the artists select and optimize images that are then posted on social media sites like Facebook. Selected images will also be digitally displayed during the Speaking About Place exhibition.
"If a picture is worth a thousand words, how do you gather the thousand words from a community by showing them pictures of where they live? We aim to extend the experience and ultimately perception of place in the Bundaberg region. These are just some of the questions we'll be exploring with the local photographers" Ms Cooper said.
Speaking About Place will be officially opened by the artists Doug Spowart and Victoria Cooper on Saturday 12 April at 2:00pm at Childers Art Space (CHARTS).
The exhibition will be on show from 1 April to 25 May and more information can be found via www.brag-brc.org.au, www.nocturnelink.com, and the Nocturne: Bundaberg Region project page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/NocturneBundabergRegion

We made this beautiful card at my friend Marilyn's workshop last week. We all loved how these products came together to make this soft and pretty card.
I love that you can use these pine cones dies for more than the Holidays. And the stamp set is on sale this month at 25% off! It's the Christmas Pines set; now just $26.25 instead of $35.
That pretty Cable Knit embossing folder enhances every card I make with that warm, soft sweater feeling. I sure love it!
After we die-cut the intricate pine cones we sponged them with a bit more Crumb Cake ink so they contrasted from the bottom pine cone piece.
To add the special copper mini pinecone (available in the Holiday catalog on page 20) I first tied a tight knot around my 5/8" burlap ribbon with the linen thread. Then I added the pine cone to the thread. Next I tied a bow with the linen thread to secure the pinecone. Add it all to the card with a mini glue dot or two. Easy!

Few have been both as thoughtful and as outspoken about abortion rights as Katha Pollitt, and this conversation upholds that reputation. Pollitt outlines how abortion has always been a normal part of women's lives, and how society's emphasis on the fetus harmfully erases women and strips them of their autonomy.
Katha Pollitt is a poet, essayist, and columnist for The Nation. She has won many awards for her work, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Whiting Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation; a National Book Critics Circle Award in poetry; and two National Magazine Awards. Her most recent books are The Mind-Body Problem (poems), Learning to Drive (personal essays), and Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights, which was one of the New York Times notable books of 2014. The title essay of Learning to Drive was made into a movie starring Patricia Clarkson and Ben Kingsley.
This conversation took play at the Women in Secularism 4 Conference in Washington, DC on Sunday, September 25th, 2016.

Billy Horschel can't wait to see Tiger Woods return to his old winning ways.
The 2014 FedEx Cup champion saw Woods at Jack Nicklaus' Ryder Cup dinner last week and later told ESPN that the 14-time major winner looked well — and then took it a step further.
"Tiger looked great," Horschel said. "Looked in great shape. I saw him in the Bahamas at the Hero World Challenge and he was in rough shape, and he said that. Last night he looked really good. Mentally, he's in the same spot he was in December in the sense he's at peace with everything. But physically he's in a lot better shape and that's what he told me. He said he's excited to be progressing and hopefully he'll get back out here and kick our ass."
SIGN UP: More golf news, exclusive stories and insider analysis
Woods hasn't played competitively since the 2015 Wyndham Championship in August and has since undergone multiple procedures to fix his balky back. Woods tweeted a swing video last week in response to rumors that he had suffered a setback in his recovery, telling the world that he was in fact "progressing nicely."
If Woods does return to peak form — or anything close to it — Horschel and other pros who wished for his speedy recovery could come to regret it.

Mayor, Director advocate in Canberra
Our Mayor Councillor Bill Chisholm and Director Advocacy and Community Services Mary Agostino were in Canberra to meet with federal government representatives today.
9.30am: Meeting with Shadow Minister for Regional Communications Stephen Jones MP
Mayor Councillor Bill Chisholm and Director Advocacy and Community Services Mary Agostino met with the Hon. Stephen Jones MP to discuss the communication black spots through Mitchell Shire.
The region is in need of more mobile towers which will enable faster, wider spread communication. It will enable residents living in these areas to access emergency services alerts and can increase economic potential.
Areas in immediate need of mobile towers are Glenaroua, Pyalong, Whiteheads Creek, Beveridge, Kilmore and Mitchell Shire's Western Fringe.
Discussions around the Federal Government's Mobile Black Spot program were held.
Mitchell Identified Glenaroua, Pyalong and Whiteheads Creek as the top three priority areas for the next round of funding.
Broadford and Redesdale were successful in rounds 1 and 2 respectively.
1pm: Meeting with Shadow Minister for Defence Richard Marles MP to discuss the tank museum
4.30pm: Meeting with an advisor to Minister for Defence Industry Steven Ciobo MP to discuss the tank museum
This meeting was to discuss appropriate funding to plan, design and construct a high profile and accessible new Armour and Artillery Museum located on the perimeter of Puckapunyal army base.
A high profile and accessible Armour and Artillery Museum is of strategic importance to the future economic prosperity of Seymour and the wider Goulburn Valley Region.
Having an accessible, well established Armour and Artillery Museum will attract tourists, boost visitor numbers and create more local jobs in the area.
2.30pm: Meeting with Bronwyn Asquith, Advisor to Shadow Minister for Preventing Family Violence; and Shadow Minister for Families and Social Services Linda Burney MP, to discuss domestic violence
During this important meeting, discussions were held around reducing future rates of family violence as Mitchell Shire rapidly grows.
Support for prevention and early intervention programs for families and children is being sought.
Mitchell Shire is advocating for an additional three full-time family support and outreach officers to work directly with children and families, increased counselling services and crisis support and a family violence support hub. Mitchell Shire's family violence rate is almost double the Victorian average of 1,242.4 persons per 100,000 population.
3pm: Meeting with Policy Director at Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet Andrew Wallace and Senior Adviser at Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Ali Nelson to discuss Wallan road infrastructure.
This meeting was to advocate for the construction of the southern oriented freeway on/off ramps at Watson Street to create a full diamond interchange with the Hume Freeway and compete the duplication and upgrades of Watson Street between Wallara Waters Boulevard and the Northern Highway in Wallan.
As well as Capacity improvements (duplication) to the Northern Highway between the Hume Freeway and Watson Street in Wallan.
The benefits of the completion of this project would aim to:
• Alleviate growth pressures on Melbourne – connecting the northern growth corridor and beyond
• Communities that are healthier, more vibrant and connected
• Improved retention of economic wealth within local communities
• Improved freight connectivity and efficiency
• Free flow of traffic on the Hume Freeway
The Roads to Recovery Program supports the maintenance of the nation's local road infrastructure asset, which facilitates greater access for Australians and improved safety, economic and social outcomes.
We are advocating for an Increase in funding for the Roads to Recovery Program to $800 million each year and make the Bridges Renewal Program permanent to boost safety on our local roads and help meet the growing demands being experienced by councils.

The lens crystallina) is one of the main svetoprelomlyayuschimi transparent media eye.
The lens is a lenticular, splyusnutoy in front to the rear, transparent lens contained in elastic capsule. Is the lens inside the eyeball, in front of his Department, directly behind the iris. In the lens distinguish between the front and the back and front and rear respectively pole and the equator. Equatorial diameter of the lens adult 9-10 m; thickness of the lens axis (from the front to the rear pole) on average of 3.6 mm Front, less convex surface of the lens is the curvature radius of 10 mm, rear surface : 6 mm Total refractive power of the lens in the eye average of 20-38 diopters (see refraction of the eye). Afakii after removing the lens appoint glass 10-12 diopters (aphakia - eye condition in the absence in it of the lens observed after cataract removal operations). In the area of the pupil, the front surface of the lens is directly bordered with the front camera eyes; on the periphery, where the lens is covered with iris,with the rear camera. The back surface of the lens borders with vitreous body, forming at this place a small saucer-like depression, respectively curvature of the back surface of the lens (see Eyes, anatomy).
The main substance of the lens are long transparent hexagonal fibrils ectodermal origin. They develop from epithelial cells located in the embryonic stage of the development of the eye along the periphery of embryonic lens. Later, these cells are pushed closer to the front surface, are more spread out and become arch-like form, bending over the equator on the back surface of the lens. Transparent fibrils are collected in more massive compact groups, forming separate sectors of the lens. At a young age fiber these flexible and elastic, and the shape of the lens is determined mainly by the tension of his capsule. Itself capsule fixed around the equator of the lens strong thin fibers Zinn ligaments that hold it in the center of the ring formed by the ciliary body. Tension Zinn ligaments and gives H. tapered, lenticular shape. In response to an additional reduction of muscles, laid down in the thickness of the ciliary body, changed the degree of tension lens capsule, and hence the curvature of the front and rear surfaces. This leads to changes in the refractive power of the entire optical system of the eye; his eyes are set on getting the focal image that is close, far away objects (see accommodation of the eye).
Over time, some fiber lens begin to sklerozirovanie lose its elasticity, without losing in normal conditions of its transparency. Over the old Oplotnica fiber layers are superimposed younger elastic fibers, and old, concentrated in the center of the lens, increasingly harden, forming dense core H. the Process of gradual sclerosis fibers begins at a very early embryonic stages of fetal development. However, dense core Agricultural newborns (embryonic core) is very small. A gradual process seal fiber Kh. is continuous, and the elderly kernel (senile nucleus of the lens) occupies almost the entire Agricultural Eyes in these conditions loses the ability of accommodation, develop phenomena presbyopia (see).
in Addition to the physiological senile involution of the lens, causing the development of presbyopia, there are a number of pathological processes, which lead to changing the position or shape of the lens, develop dimness of its fibers. The emergence of lens opacities (see Cataract) can be called any violations exchange between him and the surrounding fluids (moisture anterior and posterior chambers of the eye), vitamin deficiency, General illness (diabetes, and others), intoxication, local effects of radiant energy (x-ray, radium cataract). Violations intact capsule X. when perforated eye injuries lead to rapid swelling and further clouding fibers X. as a result of chemical processes occurring in direct contact fibers Z intraocular fluid can occur not only cataract, but severe inflammatory process toxico-allergic nature in the choroid.

Sometimes harmful effects, leading to increased turbidity of Agricultural fibers, are still in embryonic stage of development, that is why children can be born with already developed cataracts. Effects of various pathogenic factors on the lens is still in embryonic stage of development explains the origin and the number of congenital anomalies position and shape of the lens. This origin is the overall reduction of the sizes of Agricultural newborns (microface, often combined with high myopia and various other abnormalities of the eyes), anomalies provisions of Agriculture (twisted it into the vitreous body, congenital ectopia of the lens), change its form,is a partial rupture of the Central section of the front or rear surface of Agriculture (front and rear lenticonus), or the formation of a small defect in the lower part of the lens in the zone of the equator - coloboma H., often associated with colobomas choroid.

Hebrews 1 - Steve Wiggins Daily Devotional
"Now, to which of the angels has G_d ever said: Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve those who are going to inherit salvation?" Heb 1:13-14
It has been said, "Pertaining to angels, there are two things to avoid: giving them too much thought, and not enough."
I have met people who are completely preoccupied with angels. It seems like everything that happens in their lives is mystically attached to some demonic or angelic influence. It is hard to discuss the practical aspects of faith with those people. If it's not spooky, they aren't interested. It seems nothing is ever their fault! "The Devil made me do it…"
On the other hand, many people don't believe in angels. They believe in G_d & people. One of the most difficult things to overcome, when sharing the gospel with the Jewish community, is the prevalent unbelief in the angelic, which is taught in many synagogues. This makes it almost impossible to communicate the realities of Satan's influence, the antichrist, or hell, for that matter?
I don't spend a lot of time dwelling on angels. I know they are there, but I don't worship them by giving them excess honor or fear. I pray that G_d will protect me, support me, and give me influence for His gospel. How He answers those prayers in the angelic realm is His business.
Two very important lessons about angels can be found in today's passage of Scripture.
1) Yeshua is above angels. Some people believe that G_d's holiness is held in balance, by His "evil equal" Satan. That's wrong. Satan's counterpart is Michael, the archangel. They are both, ANGELS. G_d has no equal, evil or otherwise.
2) Angels are ministering spirits sent out to serve believers…or those who WILL believe. You may say, "No. Angels serve only G_d." But the text indicates that angels serve anyone in the family of G_d. One of the benefits to being a believer is the reality that angels influence conditions in our lives…by G_d's will and direction, which is ultimately in our better interest.
Followers of Yeshua are co-inheritors with Him. As Yeshua lived up to the character of the Name He inherited, so should we strive to honor the L_rd, Whose Name we have inherited as believers. To do otherwise, would be to receive His Name in vain…to say we are His, yet live as if we are still the World's. By the way, that is the essence of the 3rd commandment.

This is a story of my dear friend. She was always bold and assertive in expressing her viewpoints when it came to work. She raised voice for sufferings of the whole team. What next… No action. People were behaving so well on the face but that thing was used as a revenge against her when it came to Annual Hike. I was literally quite surprised by these turn of events.
Despite working hard for a year, she was struck with nothing when money was her foremost need. Corporate politics, made her quit. It wasn't her inability to be a good employee. For all I know her work was completed on time. She was quite brilliant but just the fact that she raised her voice and fought for our well being, it got mangled with politics and she had to quit, for no fault of hers. Dirty Corporate Politics, as they say.
I was just thinking about why these companies, realize our worth after we quit the job. Why do these people offer heavy hikes, onsite opportunities and promotions only when we take a step backward?
This world seems to be heaven from a distance but it does not take much time for this dream to turn into a harsh reality. The world is full of competition, dirty corporate politics and insecurities which can disturb your personal life let alone help you maintain work-life balance.
When I was a teenager, I used to dream of working in a Multinational Corporation (MNC) . After all, corporate is a foremost giant creating jobs in the society. MNC Culture used to allure me. Today after 10 years, I have realised that dream of my life. How fascinating it seemed way back then!
However, now I feel that this was not the life I dreamed of, for several years! Since childhood, my belief was "Hard work pays off". But MNC culture taught me that there are many more factors in addition to your hard work and one of them is surviving Corporate Politics.
Every time you put a whole night working hard to impress your boss, there are many others waiting to stab you in the back and snatch the credit for the same. More than hard work, you should know how to manipulate and lick the foots of the people in position. Sometimes getting a good project is a battle of life and maybe you are one of the poor office guy scratching his head since several years in hope of going to on-site.
You are offered 8 to 9 hours of job, 5 days a week but in reality the corporate gets you to double your working hours every day at no additional pay. We aspire and earn to make our personal lives better. We wish to give happiness to people really close to our heart. But in reality, we sacrifice our personal moments at the cost of money. Earning high incentive has become much more important than giving your parents and family some time and attention.
Yes, I am writing this but I am also one of you. Pressure of targets makes me forget my personal things. Asking for a leave from boss is not less than asking someone for life. There may be a day, they need you while you are unwell. Client is god and you can't say no to any of the tantrums. You just have to go through it all. No complaints, no delays, no excuses. Keep it all bottled up.
How to win corporate politics
Keeping in mind all the toughness felt by a lot of people working in the "elite" corporate sector I write to you, telling you about the tips and ways you can tackle and survive this harsh reality gracefully.
1. Never Ever Go With The General Perceptions
While you work together, gossips are a part of life. The organisation has everyone entwined through the grapevine channels. This world is full of people judging you. Some shape perception about you merely because of an instance and that instance can shape the perception of the whole organization sometimes. It may be a case; you were late to office because you were saving someone's life that day. Your boss saw you coming late and it created a perception in his head that you are always late to the office. This can make you suffer. I would recommend you to never create a perception about someone on the basis of an instance or by listening to someone's judgement in any way.
2. Be Diplomatic
Diplomacy is a weapon in all situations, provided you ace at using it. You may be diplomatic in a situation where you wish to say no. Trust me saying a blunt No is never the solution. It can create problems sometimes. It is better to say no in a positive manner. For an instance, you have some work and you are being given more. You don't have enough time to complete the additional work, you don't have enough motivation to do that or you probably have some other commitments. Whatever the reason might be you can probably shape your words saying "I am short of bandwidth these days, but I will be happy to devote time whenever I get a chance". Blunt No can sound offensive to the opposition and you might start on a wrong foot. Be polite and win the world.
3. Never Give Someone Chance To Snatch Your Credits
Whenever you work hard learn to convert it into points. Only Hard Work does not work here. Be very formal, keep your friendships aside when it comes to work. X and you are working together on same thing. Never share your analysis with him till you intimate these things to your boss. It may be a case; X snatches your information just to get your credits in X's own plate. No matter how good your relationship, friendship or bond is. It's a cruel world out there and people are just willing to take what's yours. Apart from this, also remember to be a good human being and never do the same to anyone else. Maintain the fairness in your work. Instead of being an emotional fool, keep the sanctity of your work alive
4. Prefer Written Communications Within The Team
Communication is the key when you work. You get requirements, you give requirements. There may be an instance your boss passed some information verbally. Later on, he made it conflicting saying I never said so. It maybe intentional and maybe in the heat of moment. But in the end, it is you who will suffer. This makes you realize the importance of written communications.
5. Never Be a Part of Foul Play
While working for an organization, you may have likes or dislikes for someone. Never be involved in a Foul Play against someone, be it any situation. Organizations adheres to maintain discipline. Adhere to these guidelines and never get involved in any such cases.
6. Never Share Your Personal Life
Sometimes our disturbed mind makes us share our personal griefs with our colleagues. Our circle shuffles every day. I remember, I shared my personal issue with someone. In no time, I get to hear that from another team member. He mocked me on a situation. Have a barrier between your work and personal life. Your life will be smooth.
This is the reality of the society "Where there are Rose, there are Thorns". No matter what, but one thing everyone should imbibe upon is that we should keep on trying things till the time we find a solution to it. The only way to be successful and confident is to never give up. Be it any situation, any hardship. You have to keep moving on.
Courage helps you survive all the troubles of life. You will have courage only when you have achievements in your plate and when your intent is clear. Be positive and believe "Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle."
I hope this helps and Wish you Happy Work Life!

The biggest piece of advice I can give to anyone in their twenties is to travel — and travel a lot. There are multiple reasons why I recommend it. You wouldn't even realise how much of a positive influence travelling could have on your life until you actually do it.
Because we live in a world of templates which kind of give us an idea of how to spend our time, we hardly ever consider the alternatives. Well, I was fortunate enough to co-found a travel company and, as a result, I travelled to many beautiful places. But even before that, I'd already experienced living in three different countries.
So why am I telling you all of this? Let me explain.
Why you haven't travelled yet?
Not everyone needs to wake up at 5 am, but everyone needs to travel. Well, I'm here, not to convince you into anything but just to share the benefits of travelling I have experienced in my life.
At a very early age, I had a clear goal of living in different countries and travelling the world. So far, I've lived in three countries, six cities, and also, let me brag about the languages I learned along the way. For me, it's all about the look people give when they find out how many languages I speak.
You'd be surprised at how much you can learn in a short period of time when you live abroad or travel long distances. Most people look at life as a linear path of development and, unfortunately, resist the idea of looking at it differently. You go to school, then to college, get a job or start a business, you work hard, and then possibly arrive at your retirement at the age of 65. So, what's the point?
Most of us were taught to have the prerequisite skills or knowledge to get ahead in life. But the world has shifted, and it did so a long time ago. Most of us are just reacting to that change and not taking advantage of it. Consider the idea that the greatest investment you can make in your personal development is to broaden your perspective on yourself and those around you, as early as possible in your life.
Nowadays, you don't need to be financially rich or come from a wealthy family to be able to see the world. We live in an age of open-source possibilities. Got just £100? Google how to travel on tight budgets. No one to travel with? There are dozens of groups who share specific travel interests. When I was involved in a travel business, we organised tours on meetup.com.
The ROI of travel
Recently, I see more independent travel companies start to focus on the social factor. You no longer need to travel with friends only. And why would you, when the point is to get amongst new people? But maybe you just want to lie on a beach and take in the tropical sunny air. I must tell you, though, this won't necessarily add any significant value to your life.
When you find yourself in a daily routine that gets you nowhere, throwing yourself on a spontaneous ride around Europe can shake things up for you. If you travel to explore and have fun, you're more likely to bond with other like-minded people. Even if you have got the money to stay in a hotel, I do recommend staying in highly-rated hostels instead because of this one factor: perspective. And this my friend, can only be acquired through new experiences.Justin Luebke
Some of the best things I learned while travelling weren't about the culture, history, or beautiful architecture of the countries I visited. They were about myself. As if I managed to open a new dimension of what's accessible to me.
Countries like Switzerland and the Netherlands showed me a new level of organisation and structure in life. Bulgaria and Slovenia made me realise my passion for mountains; a place where I'm now always able to generate the best ideas for my work. Monaco introduced a magnitude of wealth and riches. When you're surrounded by beauty and status, you unconsciously start to strive to that level too. And Mexico allowed me to see diversity and contrast in life. Mexican people, in my opinion, are the kindest people I've ever had the opportunity to connect with.
One particular time I visited Mexico, I stayed in a five-star, all-inclusive resort, in a bungalow with a private swimming pool and jacuzzi, located twenty meters away from the beach. Oh yes, there were twelve different restaurants and, if you wanted, you could order a golf cart with a private driver who would get you to any spot in the entire resort.
Several miles from this resort were rural villages with homes which were self-made — some of which didn't have proper roofs, windows, or doors. Of course, not all of the houses looked like that, but the contrast was staggering. This is where I gained another type of perspective.
Travelling made me reconsider some of my assumptions and challenged my beliefs about people, opportunities, and my own potential. The truth is, some of the most important life skills — like compassion, acceptance, openness, creativity, and risk tolerance — are more likely to be developed in unknown and "new-to-us" situations. And you don't have to travel in a hot air balloon across the ocean like Sir Richard Branson to experience novelty and adventure.
You can't truly choose what you want if you don't know what's out there
Let's say you were born in a particular place, where you were exposed to a set of particular opportunities and resources. Based on what was offered to you by your environment, you made particular choices which shaped your behaviour and, therefore, your results.
Let's step aside from that picture for a moment and imagine that life is merely a menu from a restaurant, with hundreds of dishes. You pick up that menu and recognise several of the dishes, as you've tasted them quite a few times before. Now, let's say you took your friend to the same restaurant. He asks you what the best dish is on the menu, to which you reply, "Hmm, I've only tried this one and I think it's good but I'm not sure about the rest of the menu".
I perceive life in the same way I see a restaurant menu. On offer is an abundance of experiences I can choose from but I keep on picking the same thing over and over. Why? I can't make the best available choice to me if I have no clue what the rest of the dishes taste like. So I've got to start questioning what I really want, where I really want to live, what I want to do, and who I want to meet. How would I really answer all of these questions if not through tasting as much as possible from life's menu?
This time, imagine you could travel to twelve different countries and stay there for a month each. You'd find the work you want to do, you'd meet interesting people, visit various places, try different foods, learn languages, and completely immerse yourself in that experience, for the time you were there.
After a year, you're coming back home. What is going on in your head right now? How would you see your life and what's possible for you? How much energy would you have? Will there be new goals or dreams you'd want to achieve? I hope by now you get that it's not just about travelling, rather more about seeing yourself beyond the limitations you might have.

The Urbanist: Affordable housing
The struggle for regular folks to find a place to stay is global. This is an very interesting survey of housing situations in California, Finland, Egypt, and Portugal. The California situation is so interesting. For a state that prides itself on leading other parts of the country in pushing progressive policy, the not-in-my-backyard vibes are too strong. The situation in Egypt is frustrating. How do you tear down a whole neighborhood while building a new capital that will probably keep low income folks at arms reach?

There were no damage reports in Colbert and Franklin counties, but some damage was reported in Lauderdale County.
There were small pieces of tree limbs in the road and a few trees down, but according to Lauderdale County emergency management officials no one was injured during the recent storms.
WAAY 31 did get a report of a tree down on a mobile home on County Road 87 in Waterloo, but we drove by and saw the tree narrowly missed the home.
However, another family who lives on County Road 87 did see some property damage.
The family's carport was picked up by wind around 4:00 a.m. and slammed down about 50 yards away from the home.
One man we talked to heard the strong winds that caused the damage.
"I just heard the wind blowing and raining hard. I looked out and it was thundering and lightening and stuff. I thought it was going to get worse than what it did," Paul Wood said.
Wood lives in Waterloo. His home did not get any damage.

DATELINE: Mask of the Red Death?
Who is that masked man?
Yes, someone wearing a Tom Brady mask has been making the rounds. The extremely life-like mask is worn by a short man, but rumors persist that the mask itself was designed by Tom Brady's plastic surgeon in Paris.
What's more, there is a story circulating like a case of hives that Tom Brady Himself wears the mask at all press conferences.
The little man in the big Tom suit cavorted with fans outside Gillette Stadium, causing a ruckus. It turns out that culprit in question is none other than Wes Welkah, former Patriot.
It appears that one of Brady's closest friends is wheedling his way back into the Brady Bunch. Move over, Julie E. Now that Wes is back in Boston, there may be a new world order among the coterie.
We have found more intrigue than among the Elvis posse at its peak.
Welker also attended the game on Sunday, sitting among the faithful fans of Gillette. We can't say if he kept his dinner date with Tom after the game.
You can bet Tom Brady gave his stamp of approval to Welkah's mask, which went over like the Edgar Allan Poe version of Red Death.
Welkah's mask has a more lifelike tone than the Phantom of the Opera, but we can still hear the Music of the Night every time Welkah emerges from under the plasticity.
There is no truth to the rumor that Welkah leaves a deflated football wherever he goes as his calling card. And, we are unable to confirm that Brady will be wearing a Welkah mask at Gillette next week.
And, we thought David Ortiz at the game in a Brady jersey was a great impersonation!

Feb. 9, 2006 – The Treasury Department is seeking to punish a religious group that marched outside the secretive Guantánamo Bay prison complex in protest of the conditions endured there by prisoners in the "war on terror." Members of the Christian anit-war group Witness to Torture could face up to ten years in prison and $250,000 in fines for breaking the United States' long-standing ban on travel to Cuba.
In a statement yesterday, Witness to Torture said that it would not cooperate with the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) request for information related to the December demonstration. The organization sent its reply through the Center for Constitutional Rights, a nonprofit legal group. Seven of the 24 protesters have received OFAC notices so far.
According to members of the group who participated in the protest, on December 11, they arrived at the US-run Guantánamo Bay detention complex with plans to observe the prisoners' confinement conditions first hand. After being turned away, as expected, they set up camp a few miles from the border between Cuba and the US military base, where the group fasted for four days and continued attempts to access the camp.
The US government admits to holding around 500 men plucked from around the world at the base. The military has held the captives without trial and nearly incommunicado with severely restricted access even to legal counsel. Human rights organizations and the military have reported suicide attempts and hunger strikes among the prisoners.
Due to the more than 40-year-old trade embargo with Cuba, US citizens are barred from traveling freely to the nation. The OFAC monitors violations of the ban and has broad authority to issue fines and other penalties.
Like most government agencies involved in legal enforcement, OFAC does not discuss open cases and it has not released any document related to the Guantánamo protest.
Neither has it responded to Witness for Torture's letter, though the group said it is not waiting idly.
"While we await notice from the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, the agency responsible for violations of the ban on travel to Cuba, we will not be idle," participant Frida Berrigan wrote recently in In These Times. "On March 1, those of us who marched to Guantánamo are organizing an action in Washington, DC, to make the prison and its victims visible to those who are responsible for the torture and abuse."

T-Birds v. Hitmen- A Look Back
With a good four days left until the next home game (and four since my last post), I think it's time for more game photos! Since it's the most recent one, let's take a look back at the game against Calgary, shall we?
Note: Due to time constraints (like me having to run off to work), this post will involve less than normal commentary. I've captioned each photo, though, so you'll always know what's going on in the picture…
The beginning of the game started off with the Thunderbirds playing more defense than offense early on, as my photos will be able to show.
Defenseman Dave Sutter looks to pass the puck to a teammate and get it out from behind the Seattle goal during the first quarter.

There's always an ethical quandary when someone gets hurt. Do you take a photo of him? How many? On one hand, a photographer needs to do his or her job and document the game and everything going along with it. One another, it is a bit of an invasion of privacy during a moment most would not want their pictures taken. I bring this up because this next photo I—at the time—thought that this could be a moment like that. Calgary rightwinger Cody Beach got wrapped up with Tyler Alos in front of the goal. On the way down to the ice, I heard Beach's helmet (or so I think… it could have been the puck I guess) strike the post. I didn't see much immediate movement from Beach, so I decided to snap a few frames of him getting medical care, just in case. Luckily, he turned out to be ok and would reenter the game later. So crisis averted, but I thought we had something big on our hands. Thankfully I was wrong. Here's the photo…
Center Tyler Alos lands on top of a Calgary Hitmen player after the two got entangled in front of the Seattle net.

And here's the last two photos from the first period…

Easily the most frustrating thing for me while shooting is having part of a shot blocked by either a player not involved in the play or a referee. For football, you will ALWAYS have either the back line judge or side judge coming into and going out of your shots as long as you are ahead of the ball. Well, in hockey if you're behind the nets, you will ALWAYS have an official coming into and going out of your shot. Sometimes it works out and the ref is merely in the background: something not wanted by any means, but you can deal with that. With this, though, there's nothing that can be done…
Leftwinger Mitch Elliot (center) is checked by Calgary defenseman Matt MacKenzie.

That shot would have been a pretty good one. It has good action, it's crisp, and it's fairly representative of the game. Except for one teensy thing… can you name it?
And now let's finish out the second period…
Leftwinger Chance Lund (left) stretches past Hitmen defenseman Ben Wilson to control the puck in the second period.

Well, it looks like the same can be applied here, as well…

This one's safe though!

Now for the third period (and overtime)!

That's it for this post. Sorry for the abbreviated one, but I didn't have much material for you this time. The next few weeks should be better.
Till next time, go T-Birds!
Game 3: Thunderbirds Upended by Hitmen
Hello again everyone, and sorry for the delay in getting this post up. Here's the game thread for last Saturday's overtime loss to Calgary.
It was a good hockey game that had a bit of everything: great-looking goals, last-second saves, and even a couple of pretty decent fights. In fact the only thing missing from the game was a second point for the T-Birds, as that game was just their first overtime loss of the season. So enough with the chit-chat, let's get to the photos!
For this game I tried something different: I didn't start out shooting from above the glass. Eventually shooting from the same spots every game will get repetitive and you'll start seeing the exact same shot as you did a game ago or two games ago. So to break myself of that (and to keep it more exciting for me) I'll change up my routine. Today I spent the first two periods behind the glass, moving between spots behind the goal on the north side (the side where the players and zambonis get onto the ice) and right across from the T-Birds bench. In any rate, I got luckier with the glass that night, as a number of photos I took from that spot are pretty clear and unaffected by the thick plexiglass.
Defenseman Erik Bonsor (right) battles with Calgary center Jimmy Bubnick for the puck early in the first period.
Canon 7D, 98mm, 1600 ISO, f/2.8, 1/1250th, Manual
Now I'm going to teach you a trick that's useful in all sorts of photography, but absolutely necessary in sports photos: cropping. It's needed in sports photography to focus in on the action and eliminate all dead space surrounding it that ruins the photo. Let's use a shot of Calvin Pickard making a save.
Goalie Calvin Pickard makes a save during the first period.
Canon 7D, 70mm, 1600 ISO, f/2.8, 1/1250th, Manual
Now as you can see in the photo above, I was as wide as my lens would allow me to be (98% of my shots are taken with a 70-200mm lens). Since I had Pickard centered in my shot for focusing reasons, there's a lot of dead space on the left of the shot, and the players to the right merely distract from what's going on. So let's take them out of there, shall we?
Canon 7D, 70mm, 1600 ISO, f/2.8, 1/1250th, Manual
Now, by merely cutting out what I don't want seen, we have a pretty nice shot of Pickard making a save. It's also now easier to see the puck in the middle of his pads. Before, there was just too much distracting information for your eye to notice it. With all of those distractions gone, however, the puck is much more visible. Amazing, huh?
Onto the next shot now. Here's a photo of Brenden Dillon fighting Calgary's Ben Wilson. For whatever reason, I got numerous good shots of Dillon Saturday night. I tried to get as many other players in the post as possible but apparently Dillon was working it for the camera that night.
Defenseman Brenden Dillon throws Hitmen defenseman Ben Wilson to the ice during a fight in the first period.
Canon 7D, 135mm, 1600 ISO, f/2.8, 1/1250th, Manual
And here's some more photos. Sorry there's no cool intro for them, but I can't think of a good one right now. Let's just say they're a good representation at how even the two teams played.
Bonsor keeps the puck away from Calgary leftwinger Justin Kirsch.

Center Luke Lockhart fights for the puck with the Hitmen's Bubnick behind the Calgary goal in the second period.
Canon 7D, 70mm, 1600 ISO, f/2.8, 1/1250th, Manual
I'm proud of myself for this next shot: I actually remembered something I had to look for during the game! Media Relations Director Ian Henry told me to look for kids wearing the beanie given away before the game. Well, I found a group of excited young boys during a break in play that seemed to really want to get on the jumbotron. I'm not sure if they ever did or not, but they were dancing well enough to be put on there…

I'm still looking for a good goal photo from behind the glass: one where you can see both the puck going into the net and the face of the player who got it. I know I'll get one eventually, but sometimes it's hard for me to remember to concentrate on the player in front of the goal instead of the guy with the puck. In the second period of Saturday's game, though, I thought I might have had a chance when Luke Lockhart had a nice shot on goal. Unfortunately, it was blocked by the Calgary defense and eventually cleared. What turned out was still a nice photo, but unfortunately one of a great play for Calgary instead of for Seattle.

Here's another Brenden Dillon sighting. He got an assist for a pass to Tyler Alos in the second period. Of course I had to put this shot in…
Dillon passes to teammate Tyler Alos- who then put the puck in the back of the net- in the second period. It was the first of two assists on the night for Dillon.

And here's Alos acknowledging Dillon's pass after the goal.

Here's a photo of the second fight of the evening. In it, rightwinger Jacob Doty took Calgary's Cody Beach to the ice. In fact, the two T-Birds fighters of the evening both took their opponents to the ice. Even if it didn't matter on the scoreboard, that was nice to see.

In college when shooting for The Daily, there'd always be games where I'd get better photos of the other team than I would of the Huskies. Sometimes it would turn out ok because we'd run some of them as long as they made sense with the game story and every once in a while we'd send them to other school's student paper. When shooting for a team, though, there's no spot for these photos to go. That's why I like having this blog; in it, I can put all my shots from a game. I don't have to worry about will it make sense with a story or is it a photo of the other team. So I'll throw in this photo of Calgary goalie Juraj Holly knocking away a shot by Chance Lund. I thought Holly had a pretty good game and was pleased to have a photo of him.
Canon 7D, 1140mm, 1600 ISO, f/2.8, 1/1250th, Manual
During the third period, I was in my normal third-period spot between the benches. Despite what I said earlier about changing things up every once in a while, I thinkI'll be spending every third period there so I know I'll have some good pictures no matter where I am for the first two. Anyways, I remembered to keep an eye on the T-Birds bench for any good photos there. During one of the timeouts in the third, I found assistant coach Turner Stevenson talking with one of the T-Birds. I remembered to take the photo, I just wish I thought to stand up. That would have made Stevenson's arm visible and made a much, much stronger photo. I'll get it next time, though…
Canon 7D, 70mm, 1600 ISO, f/2.8, 1/1250th, Manual
And here's another Dillon sighting. He's getting good coverage right now…

I like trying to get photos of players on defense. It's a side of the game that doesn't produce quite so many images as offense or hits, but it's still important to play good D. Here, center Travis Toomey is covering a Calgary attacker well.

I think these next two photos would be great for a caption-writing contest. In fact, if I ever get to give away something in a contest, that's what I'll do. But until then, just enjoy them and that what you like about them.

And here's the last of Brenden Dillon for the post. But of course, it's a series of photos. Watch as he takes a slapshot towards the Calgary goal in overtime.

Overtime was just as hotly contested between the two teams as regulation was. Let's include a shot of Burke Gallimore trying to disrupt a Calgary player to prove that…

That's all the photos I have for you today. I unfortunately didn't get a good one from the game-ending goal, but that's just the way it is sometimes. I'll do better next time, I promise. As always, feel free to tell me what you like, don't like, want to see more off, or any other comments you may or may not have in the comments section below.
Til next time, go T-Birds!
