You may have two feelings after reading this article – 1) "This piece is an assault on my intelligence, I know how to pack a bag before travelling!" or 2) "Wow…that was considerably helpful". I'm hoping that some of you will be saying 'wow' at the end of this, and although this piece might not be earth shattering, it may help you be to a bit more savvy when it comes to packing for that next getaway.
It's 11 pm, you have to be at the airport in a couple of hours and you still have to go through the list of what to pack and what not to pack (I forgot to mention that you aren't in the mood to pack – although your two week trip is sounding really good). Here are 12 packing tips to avoid those last minute packing troubles:
- Plan ahead – The biggest packing pitfall is bringing items that you won't use (i.e. those 'just in case' items). Laying everything out on your bed can put your packing into perspective. From there you can see what you need and don't need.
- Cut back on the shoes – "Aww man, but I was planning to wear my awesome pair of Nikes on Tuesday at…" I'm going to stop you there. Shoes can be the biggest space thieves when it comes to packing. One way to avoid this is to bring shoes that serve more than one purpose. If you need to get some running in but still want to feel comfortable when going out, then bring those Nike trainers.
- Make the most of your carry on – If you have a little extra space in your carry on then make the most of it.
- Limit your toiletries – If you have a hair-hair conditioner that you use after your hair conditioner it may be a good idea to leave it behind. Some hotels and lodges provide soap and shampoo for guests, and unless you are travelling deep into the rainforests of central Africa, there should be stores to buy some items.
- 'Travel size' items – I know you want to bring that 2.5 litre of hair-hair conditioner, but that's going to take up quite a bit of space. There are a lot of toiletries that are 'travel size' now days and this could help you save on space.
- Assume anything that can leak, will leak – All those liquid items in your bag are conspiring against you – trust us on this. Sunscreen leaking all over your bag doesn't make for a great holiday. Rather avoid the swearing under your breath and pack liquid items in a Ziploc or plastic bag.
- Conserve space and avoid wrinkles by rolling your clothes – I've never been in the navy, but apparently this is an old navy trick. Fold shirts, pants and skirts in half then roll them up tightly into a burrito.
- Carry essentials with you – Essentials could include medication, a change of clothes, cell-phone, contact lens solution and cash. While most of us expect our luggage to meet us at the other end, things happen and you don't want to be left stranded with nothing but your travel pillow.
- Wear it on – Travelling to a cold climate means that you have to pack a bit more warm clothing and warm clothing is usually bulky. Try and wear what you can to save on space.
- Pack interchangeable pieces – If you have clothes that are interchangeable (i.e. neutral colours as opposed to bright colours, and clothes that can be worn with multiple outfits), then it's a good idea to pack them. If you can lose the idea of 'a different outfit for each day' then you will save on a lot of space.
- Never check in any valuables – "Mam, sir, you don't have any valuables in your luggage do you?" We've all been asked this. Instead of crossing your fingers and hoping that they arrive untouched, in your bag, on the carousel, keep all electronics, cash and personal documents with you.
- Space for shopping – If you are planning to bring back some items after a little bit of overseas shopping then make sure you have enough space in your luggage. You don't want to upset the grandkids and have to leave their gifts at the airport.
Packing for a two week trip shouldn't feel like packing for a round the world trip. The benefits of packing light and smart usually outweigh the negatives. If you follow some of the tips above, then packing won't have to be troublesome, and you can look forward to your upcoming getaway.

This project aims to enhance operational capacities of Montenegrin Police Service through organization of the in-service training on drug identification, illegal migration and human trafficking, identification of forged documents and operational police tactics.
Mission plan was to facilitate two days Regional Meeting of the National Coordinators for fight against Trafficking in Human Beings on topic "Current Situation in the Field of Fight against Trafficking in Human Beings and Suggestions and Recommendations for Improvement", held on 25-26 of February 2010 in Budva, Montenegro.
This training course, conducted by the International Training and Civilian Crisis Management Centre in Budapest, Hungary, aims to enhance the capacities of police officers so that they can participate in international peace keeping or similar missions.
OSCE Mission to Montenegro facilitated the publication and distribution of leaflets containing the Guidelines for better co-operation between media and police.
The goal of this meeting is to exchange information about the projects completed in 2009 and plans for 2010, with the purpose to provide a forum for co-ordination and information sharing, thus preventing overlap in implemented projects.

Video marketing is one of the most powerful methods you could possibly apply towards your business right now. In February of 2008, there were 10.1 billion views of online video world-wide. Then in November, YouTube (alone) displayed 5.1 billion views – a whopping 40% of the 12.6 billion views!
It's one of the fastest growing phenomena we've ever seen and you need to get in on it fast!
ComScore reported in March, 2009 that:
- 76.8 percent of the total U.S. Internet audience viewed online video.
- The average online video viewer watched 356 minutes of video (approximately 6 hours), up 15 percent versus December.
- 100.9 million viewers watched 6.3 billion videos on YouTube.com (62.6 videos per viewer).
- 54.1 million viewers watched 473 million videos on MySpace.com (8.7 videos per viewer).
- The duration of the average online video was 3.5 minutes, up from 3.2 minutes per video in December.
- The duration of the average online video viewed at Megavideo was 24.9 minutes, higher than any other video property in the top ten.
And oh, video views had reached 14.8 BILLION!
Here's a study conducted by the Kelsey Group on how effective video marketing is:
A recent June, 2009 article in the Wall Street Journal mentions that online video is now the most dominant performing formats for online marketing.
So what are you waiting for?
Of course, having professional videos can be very expensive.You have to consider the costs of having a professional video studio with professional lighting, the crew, the video editor and more.
If you don't want to shed a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars for professional commercial videos of you and your company, then consider our affordable mini-commercial videos!
Just take a look at some of our past (and returning clients):
NOTICE: This is without using Animoto, because unless you have a business account, which is $249, and you get a business quality video, it is against their TOS! Of course, if you're a big time client of ours, we buy an Animoto account for you!
However, you don't need that. We have something even better in mind…
Something even more affordable.
Are you ready to have your very own commercial video that does more than display still images?
Are you ready to have your very own commercial video that truly delivers your message?
Need more examples to be convinced?
Here's what our clients are saying about their videos:
That's the best advertisement money I've ever spent in my life!
I've wanted a video for my business for 2 years. One that summarized my business and all that it has to offer. Budget restrictions did not allow me to invest in one.
Very reluctantly I agreed to my husband's coercing and signed up for a 30 second video being offered by CaliforniaSEO.
To my surprise the high quality video that was delivered captured the essence of my business in a way that I had never imagined. I was so impressed I've now ordered another video for my other business!
Thank you for a wonderful product.
Claudia Krusch
This is the best deal I have ever made in my 20 years for doing business. Simple outstanding and professional service of producing high quality video presentation of advertising. The result is definitely over-deliver my expectation.
I truly recommend this quality service to anyone who wants video presentation to deliver their services or products. This is top notch business quality and service anyone can ever ask for.
You have made my day! Thank you and be blessed!
Ed Han
Totally professional and quick!
If you are like me, when you outsource something like video production, you want a fantastic product, a short turnaround time, and a reasonable price, right? And you usually don't get one or two of these, do you?
SEO Video Ads does all this, does it well, and goes one step further – they provide awesome support and service, too!
My team goes nowhere else. I highly recommend you go here, too, for your video ad services! Why be disappointed when you can be thrilled?
Rob Dunn
I can't believe how easy it was to purchase a quality video, designed specifically for my needs, with just an idea and a brief description.
With your affordable prices plus an awesome turn around time – you've shown me that I can look forward to saving time and money by outsourcing my video projects to you.
You are Joy!
Janet Caen
Here's what you get:
- You have the option of purchasing a Basic video, which does not entail any special effects, or a High Impact video that goes beyond having JUST still images and minor inner-motion video clips. Your video may range between 30 seconds and 2 minutes. Most Basic videos are between 30 seconds and 1 minute long. Most High Impact videos are around 1 minute to 2 minutes long. We seldom go over 2 minutes because of the type of videos being produced.
- After your video is completed, we provide you with the raw video file in .WMV format and even send you the compressed version in .mp4.
- You can use your videos ANYWHERE – they're royalty-free! You can promote the videos on your own website or other video distribution/sharing sites.
If you also want your videos to be submitted to the major video sites (approximately 10 sites) for you, it's only a $25 service fee. Most video marketing submission services are about $99+/month. If you're not doing a whole lot of video marketing, this is a very cheap way of doing it rather than paying a monthly fee just to promote 2-3 videos.
Here's how to order:
Click on the button below to order a BASIC 30 second video format ($200 per video):
Click on the button below to order a HIGH Impact, 1 minute video format ($350 per video):
Compare that to our competition that charge $500 and more. There are no limitations on how many videos you want to order. Just know that there are only so many angles of approach we can portray for each business. If your business has many different products, then we can go on for quite a while.

text: Close your eyes and picture it with me: the sizzle in your ears; the smell of charcoal burning slowly; the taste of a juicy burger on your tongue. Are you ready for it? Grilling season is back! Of course, many on our Refrigerated Logistics Dallas team would say that it never left, but the Memorial Day weekend officially kicked off the unofficial start to summer and the grill. While our Refrigerated Logistics Dallas drivers love a burger as much as the next guy, ground beef is not the be-all-end-all of the barbeque. There are plenty of other ways to rock your taste buds while entertaining grill-side. Here are a few of the Refrigerated Logistics Dallas team's favorites:

A stunning pristine cut pattern wraps around the Diamond Mixing Glass. Tall and slender yet a huge 700mL capacity.
Given the height of the mixing glass, it can be used with a 30cm spoon but we recommend using a bar spoon 40cm or longer such as the 45cm Paddle Spoon.

On Her: Denim Embroidered Romper c/o (on sale for less than $53!), Suede Heels
Prada Tote, Black Sunglasses (similar for $55), White Earrings, Hermes bracelet
On Him: Chambray Button Down, Dark Wash Jeans, Chukka Boots, Aluminum Sunglasses
Hey Y'all! I hope you had an awesome weekend and your week is off to a great start! I'm coming off of a super productive weekend, especially since the Air Show was in town. Some of y'all may recall last year, I had the incredible honor of flying with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. Check out my post to see if I passed out, how many G's I could handle and my favorite part of the flight!
I'm doubling up on the denim in today's post because it's one of my favorite fabrics. This denim embroidered romper is a stunning piece. It's currently on sale for less than $53 and looks so much more expensive than it really is. Also, I love how you can dress it up or down and throw on a super soft cardigan or leather jacket when temperatures drop. Wear it to brunch on the weekends or even out on date night. The straps are completely adjustable so this romper fits me like a glove. I definitely get compliments each time I wear it because the embroidery is so well done. Plus, I love the scallop detailing on the neckline.
Johnny's outfit here is chockful of basics he swears by. This chambray button down is super soft and a go-to for him. He currently only has one, so I'm thinking about adding another in case something happens to it. I kind of created a monster with Johnny when it comes to athleisure. However, when he needs to wear jeans, this pair is hands down his favorite because of the stretch and flattering fit. Last year, I bought these chukka boots for Johnny because he wanted what he called "fall shoes." Reviews online say these are comfortable, so I went for it. Now he loves them.

About five weeks ago I decided to cut down on the eating and drinking as I was getting way too fat. And, it was all going so very well. I'd have a few glasses of red wine on a Saturday night and avoided alcohol on the other six days of the week. I watched what I ate, reduced my portions, got back to a daily walk. I was feeling lots better and had reduced my tonnage by 9 lbs. Some of my trousers were actually getting a bit fally-off.
Then Christmas. I had good intentions about the scoffing but the drinking got in the way of that. Stepped on the scales this morning to find that I have gained 6 lbs. Ah well. I will just have to start all over again.

SQL Server virtualisation improvements with SLAT in Intel and AMD
Recently I had query around documentation that discusses the benefits of running SQL Server in a virtualised environment on modern hardware with SLAT or second level address translation. The below graph shows that (see the solid red line) the relative throughput for hardware with SLAT & Windows Server 2008 R2 (required for SLAT support) degrades very slightly as workload increases. However without SLAT hardware and with Windows Server 2008 the dotted red line shows immediate degradation even without over commit of CPUs.
The below links have further information on the impact of SLAT. So if you are looking at virtualising SQL Server ensure it is on SLAT enabled hardware.

So this post is wicked late. I usually do this for Cyber Monday sale pushing. Alas! However, if you've ever had reason to buy shinies for a loved one, you should know about the following folk, because every single one of them is awesome and creates lovely items.
* Natural Charm – jewelry
Julie takes things like flowers, clay, maps, candy, herbs, and such, and creates beautiful wearable bits of art with them. Her first few creations were inspired by a desire to preserve flowers by turning them into handmade beads, and (because I am wicked hard on my jewelry) I can tell you that her work holds up superbly to daily wear. Peruse her Etsy store, or ping her about doing custom work…you will LOVE her work. (She also has a discount code on her Etsy store RIGHT NOW, so you should go take advantage of that.)
* Capsulariums by Laurel
Should your taste run to the more elegantly macabre, allow me to direct you to peruse through Laurel's "capsulariums." She uses the bones of mice and other small critters to create truly unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of art. The detail is stunning.
* Belethil
Alanya is one of those artists that's been truly amazing to watch over the past few years. Her Etsy store is currently filled with higher-end items; you'll see that she has a custom option, but that may need to wait until after the holidays. Waiting is, however, very very worth it. And if you're looking for elf ears, you truly can't do any better than to buy a set from Alanya.
* Elemental Sage
If your taste runs more to crystals, beads, stretch bracelets, and earrings, allow me to direct you towards Lori's shop. I've the good luck to own several of Lori's pieces, and she will absolutely spoil you as far as the quality of her creations. One purchase from her and you'll be back. Because you can't do any better. 🙂
* AF Metalsmith
...Last jewelry link, I promise! But! If you have a love of Celtic knotwork, you don't want to miss Amanda's work. (Yes, she does other things, but I've always been pretty fixated on the knotwork critters!) She also has a lovely selection of rings, bracelets, and 'wingnut' jewelry that makes her work both beautiful and memorable. You'll find that several of her pieces may be purchased in varied metals, and some of the pendants can be customized so that your favourite critter is at the top of the circle. 🙂
* Shadow Elements
Mary's creations run from buckwheat pet beds (which I highly recommend) to gorgeous stained glass stars and lamps to tote bags. I love her work, and I think you will, too.
* Sidhefire Arts
Should your shopping tastes run to the clay side of the force, you would do well to peruse Sherry's virtual store. Her work incorporates classic historical shapes as well as modern themes popular amongst geeks and pirates…and I would be very happy indeed to someday have a kitchen filled with her plates, bowls, and mugs. 🙂
* That Harp Guy
Sometimes you meet someone that completely, utterly blows you away with the gorgeousness of her or his talent. Gaffer is one of those people. He touches his harp strings, opens his mouth, and he takes your breath away. I cannot recommend highly enough his music as a gift for yourself, your loved ones, your friends…he's just amazing.
* SJ Tucker
You might say I've saved the best for last. Feel free..I won't stop you. 🙂
SJ Tucker, 's00j' to many, pirate captain to many more, is a vocal treasure. Her music ranges from book soundtrack to pagan to folksy to laughter, and I'm truly not sure where to best direct you to shop first. So go visit her music page here – http://music.sjtucker.com/indexpage – and take some time to get acquainted. Fans of Cat Valente's books may recognize a title here or there.

Grade beam is a part of a substructure of a building. It is normally built with reinforced cement concrete.
A grade beam connects two or more short columns. Grade beam can be directly built on ground or above the ground.
Grade beam sometimes support the ground floor slab and sometimes don't. It will be shown in the structural drawing. We will not go to the design related issues. We will just discuss the construction related issues.
In this article, I will discuss the basic construction process of grade beam.
Basic construction process of grade beam
Before constructing grade beam, you need to complete the construction of footing and short column.
Construction process of grade beam involves the following steps –
- Filling sand
- Placing reinforcement of grade beam
- Making formwork for grade beam
- Pouring concrete
1. Filling sand
Sand filling depends on the level of grade beam. In which level do you want to make grade beam? This level is shown in the drawing.
Suppose, our grade beam level is shown in the drawing as +4′-0″. That means, the top of grade beam is 4′ above from the road level. Road level is considered as +0′-0″ level.
If the cross sectional dimension of grade beam is 10″ x 12″, then the height of grade is 12″ (1 foot).
As we know, our grade beam top level is +4′-0″ and grade beam height is 1′, so we have to fill sand up to 4′-1'= 3′ level.
As I told before, if you want to build your grade beam directly on the ground then you have to fill the sand up to this level. After filling the sand, you should compact the filled sand or soil.
If you want to build your grade beam above the ground then you don't have to fill sand. You can just proceed to make formwork.
In both case, you will find instruction in the drawing.
2. Placing reinforcement of grade beam
Before placing reinforcement, you need to build the bottom of the grade beam.
If you want to build grade beam directly on the ground then you have to make a brick flat soling on the compacted soil. The brick flat soling should be built along the grade beam.
And, if you want to make the grade beam above ground then you have to make the bottom shutter of the grade beam. I will discuss details about this in the 3rd step of this post.
Okay, our grade beam bottom is ready for placing reinforcement. Now we'll place the reinforcement.
You'll find the reinforcement details of the grade beam in the structural drawing. For example, we'll place the reinforcement of the grade beam as shown in the image below.
From the above image, we found 2-20mm top bar and 2-20mm bottom bar are used in the grade beam.
So we need to place those 4 numbers of bar in the grade beam.
First, we need to cut the bar as required length and then we need to provide L-bend in the both ends of the bar. We also need to make the required quantity of stirrups for our beam.
In this stage, I want you to read the following articles for better understanding the cutting length of bar and placing reinforcement of the beam.
Terms to Understand to Truly Estimate Rebar Quantity
How to Estimate Beam Reinforcement
How to Place Beam Reinforcement in 5 Easy Steps
4 Easy Steps for Making Column Stirrup
If you read the above articles, you now know that how to place the reinforcement for the grade beam. Follow the instruction provided in the above articles to place the grade beam reinforcement.
3. Making formwork for grade beam
To make the formwork of grade beam, you need to make one shutter for grade beam's bottom and two shutter for grade beam's sides.
But, when you build the grade beam directly on the ground then you don't need to make the bottom shutter for the beam. In that case, you just need to make a brick flat soling along the grade beam.
When you build the grade beam above the ground then you need to make a bottom shutter for the beam.
Beam bottom shutter is fixed before placing the beam reinforcement. After placing beam reinforcement, you can fix the shutter for the beam's sides. But, you can fix the side shutters before placing reinforcement. But, the previous method is convenient.
After completing the form work of the grade beam, make sure enough cover block is provided to maintain the concrete cover for reinforcement.
4. Pouring concrete for grade beam
You can cast grade beam with readymix concrete or on-site machine-mix concrete. I would prefer to cast grade beam with on-site machine mix concrete. But, if the concrete volume is large then I would suggest to cast grade beam with readymix concrete.
If you want to cast grade beam with readymix concrete then find out the details about concrete strength from the structural drawing.
Read More:
Reasons to Choose Readymix Concrete over On-site Machine-Mix Concrete
Things to Consider Choosing a Ready Mix Concrete Supplier
The strength of concrete is specified in the drawing as "psi" or as "ratio" of the concrete ingredients.
When the concrete strength is specified as "psi" then it will be written as "3000 psi" or something like this.
When the concrete strength is specified as "ratio" of the concrete ingredients, it will be shown as "1:2:4" or something like this.
Sometimes, both "psi" and "ratio" is shown in the drawing.
If you order concrete from ready mix supplier then they will ask you about the concrete strength. Tell them which concrete strength you want for the grade beam.
If you decided to cast the grade beam with on-site machine mix concrete then you will use the "ratio" of the concrete ingredients as specified in the drawing. Suppose, it is specified in the drawing as 1:2:4. Then, you will mix 1 unit cement, 2 unit sand and 4 unit chips.
Follow the instruction I wrote in the following posts for mixing concrete with mixture machine.
How to Mix Concrete by Mixture Machine
How to Control Concrete Quality when Mixing with Mixture Machine
However, pour concrete in the grade beam and vibrate properly then finish the top of grade beam.
You can remove the side-shutter of grade beam next day after pouring concrete. But, for removing bottom shutter of the grade beam, you have to wait till the concrete gains its strength. This time duration for stripping bottom shutter depends on the clear span of the beam. You'll find notes about this in the structural drawing.

Lotus Elan Sprint 1972
Sale price: £22,950.00 make an offer
Technical specifications, photos and description:
The car was built in June 1972 and supplied to HE Russell on 18th July 1972. The last owner bought it on 11th November 1980 when the mileage was circa 42. 00. This owner. who is an engineer. carried out all work since 1980. The current mileage is circa 70. 00.
The car as purchased by the last owner had flared arches and wider revolution wheels and retained this configuration until an accident on 8th October 1982. This caused damage to the nearside of the body shell and chassis. Once the insurance claim was settled. the owner decided to rebuild it back to its original form.
As part of the rebuild. extensive work and modifications were completed. A summary of this and subsequent works is as follows:
EngineThe engine was rebuilt in 1981 and again in 1987The engine bore is +0. 060'' oversize and 'Power Max' pistons. The crank and flywheel have been balanced as an assembly and the piston weights matched. The cylinder head was rebuilt with new valve guides and radiused valve seats. The car was fitted with an electric fuel pump before the current owner and now has a separate fuel filter and pressure regulator. The camshafts are of unknown origin and have been ground from blanks with no identifying marks. The lift is the same as the standard Lotus Elan Sprint cams and the duration is very similar to the Sprint or Cosworth CPL2 profile. The timing has been precisely set with offset dowels. The car was fitted with an alternator since before the current owner. A toothed belt modification has been machined from blank pulleys by the current owner to drive the water pump. This has the advantage of non slip drive without the need to apply tension to the drive belt and so avoids the problem of short bearing and seal life from the tension required in the standard vee belt. The engine is currently fitted with an electronic distributor which has a slightly more aggressive advance curve than the standard unit which the Lotus twin cam can comfortably take. Air filtration is via a modern high flow cotton gauge unit mounted to draw cool air from the front of the engine bay. The exhaust manifold is a large bore unit with equal length primary pipes. The remainder of the system and silencer is also large bore and considerably aids engine breathing due to the lower back pressure. To accommodate this system. minor modifications have had to made to the passenger foot well and top chassis rail. A standard exhaust is available if required. The engine mounts have been up rated and are stiffer limiting engine movement.
Gearbox and drive trainThe gearbox was removed and rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago (the clutch was stuck to the flywheel so the opportunity was taken). The clutch has been up rated to 8½ inches in diameter. Clutch fluid is DOT5. 1 which has a slightly higher boiling point as a precaution due to additional heat from the large bore exhaust system. Spyder drive shafts have been fitted which eliminate two of the rotoflex rubber drive couplings and reduce drive train wind up whilst still retaining the cushioning effect from the original type of coupling giving the differential output shaft splines an easier life.
ChassisThe car is fitted with a Spyder stressed skin unit which has several superior design features over the original Lotus unit including closed front turrets to eliminate corrosion to front suspension mounts and different design engine mounting brackets which remove the tendency to crack. Following the accident in 1982 the car was fitted with a roll over bar. head restraints and side protect / foot well bars. The brake pipe work have been upgraded to solid copper with hoses upgraded to full stainless steel PTFE lined units. Koni dampers are fitted to the front suspension. The rear suspension was rebuilt in May 2009 and included Koni adjustable dampers.
All bills and receipts for work completed and parts purchased for the car from May 1979. Photo records of the rebuild available.
When the car came into our dealership it was all in Carnival red. However some minor repairs to the paintwork were required and it was decided to take the opportunity to return it to its original Gold Leaf colours. i. e. red over white and the correct graphics were fitted. At the same time. the front section and rear bumper of the car were painted.
A nicely sorted and lightly modifed Elan Sprint that drives well. For more information or to arrange a viewing. please phone 01234 750205 or email phil@allonwhite. co. uk

Dubbing Services
What Are Dubbing Services?
When a video is dubbed, a cast of professional voice actors replace its original dialogue with a new audio track in a different language. Dubbing is particularly difficult to pull off for actors and translators alike because every line of speech must closely mimic the mouth movements of the actors on the screen.
Some languages expand in translation. Greek or German speakers, for example, tend to use more words than their counterparts who speak other languages. This means translators must choose words precisely in order to carry over the same meaning as the original without altering the length of each character's screen-time.
Global Voices draws on a team of expert linguists in order to create the perfect script, carrying over any cultural nuances, as well as the tone and humour of the original video. Using this script, we find the perfect voice actors to recreate any dialogue and present a fully-dubbed finished video to you.
Do I Need a Dubbing Service?
Dubbing is a large, engrossing project. It's one we carry out well, but it's not one that every business needs. If you're a production company working on a film, television series or web series, dubbing is the best way to bring your content to a wider audience whilst maintaining all of its emotional impact. Many production companies opt for subtitling as their method of translation, but dubbing, when done to a high standard, can connect with viewers in a deeper and more impactful way.
If your project is not a narrative video, or if it features very few speakers, voice-over translation may be more appropriate. Rather than using a whole cast of actors, this method employs a single speaker to replace all of a video's dialogue. Though this might be simpler and less expensive, a full dubbing service is what any narrative video needs if you want it to fully absorb your audience.

Lessons Learnt From a 'Homeless' Man on an Australian Beach
I was lucky enough to spend three months of my life knowing Curley whilst living and working in the tropics of Australia.
One day, when taking an evening stroll along one of my favourite beaches I saw a strange structure with a rugged looking man pottering around it. I approached the man and he introduced himself as Curley. He was quite short, bearded and had scruffy grey hair. I put him at around sixty years old, but his leathery brown skin had seen too much Australian sun, making it difficult to guess his age. He had the strong and callous handshake of a labourer and his right hand was missing its index finger.
I had a good feeling about Curley, he projected such a positive and happy vibe. He invited me for a beer and showed me around his newly built camp. Sitting around a campfire he told me about the boat he was building to sail up to Papua New Guinea in – so that was what the strange structure was all about…
I spent the next three months visiting Curley after work – sharing food and beers, swapping stories and helping him build his boat. He was a fascinating man with a wealth of nomadic life experience. Curley had spent his entire adult life living off the land, either by himself, in small communities or with his best friend Paul, who I would later meet. On the rare occasions he needed money, Curley would pick fruit on farms or work on logging mills – which is where the missing index finger story comes from!
Curley and Paul would ride their push-bikes up and down the East coast and all around the tropics, chasing good weather and searching for the perfect spot to set up camp. They'd see a river, ride upstream and scale a waterfall till they reached the top. There, they would settle down for a few months to hunt, forage and simply live in nature. For most of us, this seems like such an extreme way of life – to be so isolated, living without any possessions and no obvious 'purpose'. But as the weeks went by, and I got to know Curley better, it was evident that through his experiences he had developed a wealth of wisdom and a level of pure and content happiness.
Curley was an incredibly inspiring man to be around and he really did make a lasting impression on me. As such, I want to share with you a few lessons that I learnt from him…
Live in the Moment and Enjoy Nature
"Run down to the beach when it next rains, Harry, and you'll see why it's called rainbow beach."
Curley would revel in every moment, gleaming such joy from the little things. He had developed an intuitive connection with the land – remaining still and quiet, listening to nature talk.
Living in the present and being in tune with nature is something that we have lost in the West. Australian Aboriginals, Native Americans and many other societies have always lived in harmony with the earth and have gained great wisdom from doing so. It was refreshing to see Curley doing the same.
Be Non-Materialistic
Curely was an extremely happy man, who lived with only the shorts on his body, a toothbrush in his pocket and a push bike by his side.
He placed huge importance on people and relationships, and strived to share with everyone and act kindly to every being. He believed that generosity is the glue that kept the world together – not money or objects.
I loved how Curley was always amazed when I talked about the UK:
"So you're saying that you can put your head down on SOFT grass and fall asleep without worrying about snakes, spiders or scorpions!?!"
It goes to show how little we need in life. We can't derive our happiness from 'stuff'.
Be Adventurous
Curley's sense of adventure was clearly evident in his mission to build a boat (might I add that his boat was entirely 'upcycled' – a 9ft x 6ft catamaran crafted from things he scavenged, such as stuffed polystyrene boxes and a tiny solar powered motor).
We can all benefit from his ethos – wake up, follow your feet and see where life takes you!
I'd be lying if I said that Curley's life was all rainbows and happiness. He's had his ups and downs, trials and tribulations but I admire the way that he would pick himself up and work through his emotional and physical pain, not dwelling on the negative but focusing on the positive.
What I want to spread with this article is not just the tale of one incredible man. I want to spread the principles and ethos that Curley embodied and lived by every day. Every one of us can develop a lasting and compassionate wisdom when we go back to our roots and step out of the fast-paced consumerist society that we have become so immersed in. I don't necessarily think that we all need to live a nomadic life like Curley, but I do feel passionately and believe that we can learn something from slowing down, living in the moment and not placing so much attachment on objects and 'stuff'.
People and relationships are where life happens. So try saying yes to life, go on an adventure and follow your feet.
I'll leave you with a little cliché that I'm sure Curley would approve of: don't stress about where you're going or what you're doing… Just enjoy the journey.

This is an excerpt from Reflections on the Posthuman in International Relations. An E-IR Edited Collection. Available now on Amazon (UK, USA, Ca, Ger, Fra), in all good book stores, and via a free PDF download.
Find out more about E-IR's range of open access books here.
Preparing an introductory essay for an edited collection is never a straightforward enterprise. Managing the tasks of defining the scope of that collection, providing an outline of the contributions themselves and pointing to themes and intersections connecting the papers, as well as the questions they raise, is never a simple task. But in this instance, those challenges are much greater as a result of profound uncertainty and even contestation over the key term animating this collection and the expansive licence given to the authors of the thoughtful papers that follow. And, although the initial discussions on this theme emerged in a workshop in which a handful of the authors participated, they have grown and transformed across a series of discussions at several conferences in several countries and continents. In each iteration, new voices have joined to elaborate, contest and innovate on the initial themes.
Yet the scope of issues covered in these contributions, the significant licence given to contributors, and the relatively organic nature of the collection constitutes a key strength. So too does the variety amongst – and sometimes the productive tension between – interpretations, conceptualizations and arguments advanced in these interventions constitute an important contribution to existing debates. A discussion of the posthuman and its relationship to the study of international relations cannot be narrowly defined, nor can one voice (ours or a specified contributor's) be allocated the task of providing the definition of the posthuman or the other set of concepts addressed here: security, ecology, anthropocentrism or the Anthropocene. All are sites of debate themselves, and raise questions about what the interrogation of 'the human' and 'humanity's' relationship to other beings mean for the study and practice of international relations in the contemporary context. As such, they are rightly points of intellectual animation and contestation. And as Audra Mitchell notes in the first essay to follow, it is entirely appropriate that conversations about the posthuman and IR, here or in other contexts, should aim primarily to recognise and raise such questions rather than claim to provide definitive answers to them.
The 'posthuman turn' in the study of international relations, a phrasing certain to raise eyebrows and possibly ire amongst some IR scholars, essentially asks us to reflect critically on the role of humanity in the contemporary global context. More specifically, this provocation asks us to defamiliarise mainstream narratives of 'humanity' so that it is possible to better understand how it is constructed, performed and protected. Given rapid and far-reaching technological development, unprecedented environmental change, and more broadly the profoundly transnational nature of key challenges confronting the earth, this approach asks whether we can continue to work with implicit but powerful modern conceptions of a humanity separated from nature. This question arises even before recognition of the profound threat now posed to other living beings or future generations – of humans and nonhumans alike – or the challenges posed by recognising and engaging non-living beings in the realm of ethics and security. Clearly, these moves raise a big set of questions. But for us and for many of the contributors here, those questions loom large (and indeed become urgent and necessary) in the context of the Anthropocene: the argument that the earth has entered a new geological era in which humans themselves have become the dominant influence on the conditions of planetary existence. As Delf Rothe's contribution notes, the Anthropocene does not in itself dictate an appropriate or even likely politics of response. However, given the impact of the ecological, social and political changes associated with this proposed era, it should force us to reflect on some of the key assumptions and guiding principles of IR, in theory and in practice.
The contributions that follow address many of these crucial questions. Few, if any, are entirely new questions. Grappling with the nature-human divide in social and ecological thought has a long history (see Eckersley 1992), and questions have long been asked about how IR has been constructed to confine its analyses to (imagined communities of) humans, assumed to be separate from a posited 'natural world' (Anderson 1983; Suarin 1996). The nature of the contributions made here, however, is distinctive in drawing together a new generation of scholars who are bringing these questions to bear on the most pressing ecological, political, security and ethical challenges facing the planet. In so doing, they draw on discourses that traverse the social sciences and humanities. For instance, several contributors are inspired by the 'new materialisms' (see Bennett 2010; Connolly 2011; Coole and Frost 2011), which urge attunement to the lively property of materials. Others focus on articulations of the animals, plants and other nonhuman life forms that are co-implicated in the project of earthly survival, and that challenge traditional concepts of security, violence and threat (see Cudworth and Hobden 2011; Mitchell 2014). Meanwhile, some of the authors represented in this volume draw on object-oriented ontologies (Harman 2005; Bogost 2012) to explore how objects of all kinds construct and constrain existence beyond the boundaries of 'human' agency. Many of the contributions to this volume think alongside pioneering work in science and technology studies (Latour 2013; Stengers 2005; 2011) and, in particular, feminist approaches to this field (Haraway 2008; Barad 2007). The range of approaches, methodologies and philosophical frameworks discussed here demonstrate the diversity of ways in which 'posthumanisms' are articulated to challenge the core concepts and assumptions of IR.
Despite this diversity, at least two key themes suggest themselves across the contributions to follow. First, and especially for those contributors engaging directly with the question of environmental change, the relationship between anthropocentrism and ecocentrism looms large. Most strikingly, and perhaps surprisingly, in engaging this relationship in IR and even in locating themselves in a set of conversations about the posthuman, none of the contributors want to wholly reject one in favour of another. While all the contributors universally reject dominant forms of anthropocentrism, they vary both in their sense of the possibility or desirability of wholly moving beyond an anthropocentric frame. Instead, many of the interventions included in this volume seek re-articulations of the relations between humans and other beings that can mitigate the uncritical domination of the latter by the former. Similarly, while all of the authors in this volume express support in some form for moving towards increasing recognition of the embeddedness of humanity in nature, there is a notable sense of scepticism about the prospect of pure modes of ecocentrism. Reasons for this scepticism range from the analytical to the political (see Rafi Youatt's contribution), with Olaf Corry pointing to the intuitive appeal but limited political purchase of a position in which human society is viewed as 'dispensable to the Earth'. While Carolin Kaltofen (this volume) suggests that this ambivalence about ecocentrism may indeed challenge the extent to which contributions can genuinely be labelled 'posthuman', most endorse an expansion of human registers, care and consideration in reorienting attention towards an ecological perspective.
Second, and following the above, another key theme is that of relationality. All contributors, in different ways, challenge the tendency in IR to isolate entities and variables to make sweeping claims about 'the international' that ignore or obscure other kinds of relations. This is particularly evident in Cameron Harrington's discussion, drawing on feminist thought, of the desirability of an ethics of care that focuses on the relationship between the particular and the universal. It is evident, too, in Elke Schwarz's call to recognise and interrogate the nature of the relationship between humanity and technology, which profoundly challenges accounts of security weaponry that view these simply as objects employed by users. For contributors to this volume, profound and often deeply complex interrelationships- between people and objects; people and people; people and other living beings- necessitate new ways of thinking and engaging IR. This extends too, for Stefanie Fishel and Matt McDonald in particular, to the need for a radical reorientation of political practice, norms and institutions to respond adequately to the political cul-de-sacs dominant accounts of IR have taken us down so far (see also Burke et al. 2014; 2016).
The contributions that follow are grouped in two parts. Part 1 is themed around a theoretical discussion of the 'human', the 'posthuman' and 'posthumanism', while Part 2 contains contributions analysing ecology, non-human species and the Anthropocene. Neither parts, nor contributions within them, are wholly distinct from each other. While these broad thematic sign-posts are intended to help orient the reader, the deliberately significant scope of this volume and the licence given to contributors ensures that as many intersections occur between parts as within them.
In the first contribution to follow, the first in Part 1 of the volume, Audra Mitchell reflects on scholarship and debates around posthuman security in international relations networks to date. Noting controversy about the scope, role and desirability of both the 'posthuman' and 'security', her intervention points to both key axes of an evolving debate and avenues for future research. She ultimately makes a case for a 'reflexive anthropo-centredness', and suggests that future research in this space could benefit from drawing more on postcolonial theory, Indigenous knowledges and increased engagement with the planetary dimension of posthuman security. In the subsequent contribution, Carolin Kaltofen explores key conceptualisations and uses of the 'posthuman' in IR thought. Her paper situates interventions on the 'posthuman' in terms of different (and at times contradictory) philosophical and theoretical traditions, noting ultimately that much scholarship purporting to engage with the posthuman is better understood as an attempt to rearticulate humanism, albeit often in progressive ways. Her contribution compels us to drill deeper and reflect on the traditions and assumptions upon which claims are made, regarding posthumanism and IR scholarship more broadly.
The third contribution in this section, by Elke Schwarz, returns to the more specific theme of 'posthuman security', though in the process raises large questions about conceptions of humanity in IR. Using the example of new technologies of war and security, she points to the ways in which such technology needs to be viewed as more than a mere tool for the pursuit of security controlled by humans, instead raising important questions about how we conceive of ethics in war and even how conceptions of humanity might be affected or altered by the pursuit and use of technology. Rafi Youatt's contribution takes a step further back, reflecting on the anthropocentrism often depicted as serving a fundamental rationale for the posthuman turn and a key impediment to progressive human-nature relations. His analysis here suggests the need to question the simple human-nature binary, in the process pointing to the realities of multiple forms of humanity and humanness and multiple forms and dynamics of nature. It also asks broader questions about distinctions made between living and non-living objects and beings.
The final contribution in Part 1, by Stefanie Fishel, develops a three act structure for exploring the posthuman in IR. Developing the performative theme, her paper makes the case that we should focus less on the condition of the post-human than on the process of post-humanising, which must entail a shift away from traditional forms of anthropocentrism which separate humans from nature. She concludes with a call to arms for the reconstruction of humanity and the discipline (and practice) of IR to address contemporary global challenges, building in the process on her recent work elsewhere (Burke et al. 2016).
The first paper of Part 2, by Matt McDonald, deals most directly with the concept of security. In this paper he makes the case that the increasing tendency to securitise climate change raises important questions about how the security-climate relationship is understood. Pointing to the limits and pathologies of discourses that emphasise the preservation of national, international and even human security, he makes a case for endorsing and pursuing a discourse of climate security oriented towards long-term ecosystem resilience, in the process encouraging practices focused on mitigation and the rights and needs of future generations and other living beings. This security focus is also prominent in Cameron Harrington's contribution, which similarly explores the type of sensibility that should inform a more progressive approach to unprecedented environmental change in the context of the Anthropocene. Here he makes a case, drawing on feminist thought, for an ethics of care in informing how we view security in posthuman terms. This ethics, he suggests, is attentive to relations between the particular and the universal and recognises our entanglement in the experiences and vulnerability of those beyond our immediate horizon.
Delf Rothe's contribution simultaneously continues the security theme while returning to the question raised by Carolin Kaltofen of the assumptions underpinning existing scholarship in IR on the posthuman. In particular, he focuses on the meaning given to the Anthropocene. Here, he argues that scholarship on the Anthropocene frequently assumes that recognition of this new geological era will serve as a trigger for a reconfigured and progressive relationship between nature and humanity. In the process, he suggests that such scholarship insufficiently acknowledges the multiple meanings that might be given to the Anthropocene itself, and crucially the set of varied practices these may in turn encourage. In this sense, he argues for a richer sociological account of the Anthropocene and meanings attributed to it, in order to develop a richer and more realistic account of the ethics and politics of security in the context of the Anthropocene.
Finally, Olaf Corry's intervention examines the role of 'nature' in international relations thought. Reflecting directly on how IR has engaged 'nature' or 'the environment' over time, Corry suggests that IR had ultimately forgotten about rediscovering nature since World War II. Turning his attention to the question of how IR should engage the human-nature/ social-natural distinction, he ultimately makes the case for preserving an analytical distinction between the two while recognising the possibility for dialectical 'progress' associated with changing conceptions of both the natural world and the human condition.
The contributions to this volume are challenging and thought-provoking, often asking fundamental questions about the way those interested in IR can and should think about politics, ethics, security, unprecedented environmental change and technological development, humanity and the human-nature divide. These questions could scarcely be larger, and this volume certainly does not provide definitive answers to all of them. Indeed, in some ways, it raises as many questions as it resolves – but they are questions worth asking if IR is to enable and influence meaningful forms of political practice in the face of planetary challenges. And while this volume identifies numerous pathologies in IR scholarship and global political practice, it also points towards alternative politics, ethical registers and analytical frameworks better suited to face up to these challenges.

OnePlus has announced a collaboration with luxury British supercar maker McLaren. The Shenzen-based company is keeping mum about exactly what this new partnership will entail, however, the teaser page published on the OnePlus website spilled the beans, thanks to the "mclaren-6t" model name included in the URL (although this has since been changed).
OnePlus is no stranger to custom editions of its flagship handsets, having previously created a Star Wars variant of its OnePlus 5T to celebrate the release of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi", followed by an "Avengers: Infinity War" edition of the OnePlus 6.
The teaser webpage for the McLaren Edition OnePlus 6T carries the tagline "Salute To Speed". OnePlus leaned into the speed and responsive of its handset when marketing the OnePlus 6T last month with the slogan "Unlock the Speed".
It's unclear whether the McLaren makeover will sport more than the already-sizeable 8GB of RAM available in the maxed-out OnePlus 6T, which is powered by the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset. Although this could go some way to boost performance, it would also increase the price of the handset – something OnePlus has shied away from with previous limited edition runs.
When it comes to cars, McLaren's signature colour is bright orange – so there's a pretty high chance that'll figure on the McLaren 6T. Indeed, it's already featured in the teaser webpage on the OnePlus site.
OnePlus says the new version of its flagship smartphone will launch at the McLaren Technology Centre, in Woking on December 11. The keynote starts at 9:30am (4:30am ET, 1.30am PT) so there isn't long left to wait before we find out what the two companies have in-store for us.
Interestingly, the teaser webpage about the McLaren 6T highlights OnePlus' recent race to launch a 5G compatible handset. This ties nicely into the speed rhetoric of the partnership between the companies. But given that the Shenzhen-based firm has already confirmed that its first 5G handset will be a brand-new line of devices – separate from the OnePlus 5, 5T, 6, 6T line – it has us wondering whether the first 5G handset will be a limited edition speed-focused collaboration with McLaren.
We'll find out soon enough, so stay tuned for the latest from T3.

With my first bite of Thai food, I knew I had to go to Thailand. Tasting the flavors as they exploded in my mouth, I felt I had waited my whole life for that particular combination of hot and sweet spices.
But when I finally got to Thailand, the food was even better than I had imagined. At my first meal, I sat on the banks of the Chao Praya River, exhilarated, while tears ran down my cheeks and I insisted that no food was too hot for me to handle. I wandered through the raucous cities and the peaceful countryside, inhaling fresh herbs, extraordinary vegetables and food that was filled with heat and surprises. In six weeks, I did not taste a single thing I did not like.
Finding anything in New York City that resembles, even a little, the real food of Thailand has been impossible. Which is one reason to rejoice at the opening of Typhoon. This astoundingly loud brewery and restaurant, with its beautiful waiters and hip singles crowd, actually has many dishes that capture the taste of Thailand.
But before you can eat anything there are a few obstacles. The first is the noise, which throbs and roars like a beast, terrorizing the room. With galvanized steel tables (a few enclosed in what look like cages), mirrors and an open kitchen, there is nothing to absorb the sound as it comes rushing at you.
The waiters are the next obstacle. They are determined to teach you how to eat. First they instruct you how to order: family style. Then there is an etiquette lesson. Thai people, your waiter will tell you, do not use chopsticks. They eat with spoons, pushing the food on with a fork. (Chopsticks actually are used all over Thailand, but only to eat noodles.) Next he will indoctrinate you into the use of the condiments on the table; he will even want to tell you when to use your lime and where to squeeze it. If you are particularly unlucky, the busboy, despite your most earnest attempts at dissuasion, will repeat the whole thing.
On top of that you get an explanation of the menu, which is divided into salty, sweet, sour, bitter and hot. (So many of the dishes share so many of these characteristics that the distinctions are not particularly helpful.) And, of course, your waiter's recital of his favorite dishes.
Here's my advice: You can't go wrong with the vegetables.
The chef, James Chew (who used to be executive chef at Vong), makes wonderful Thai pickles. Tart and sweet, they provide a refreshing pause between spicy bites. His mango and grapefruit salad with Asian greens, listed among the sweet dishes, is balanced by a degree of hotness. It is a wonderful salad and unlike anything I have seen in this country.
The mustard greens with garlic, yellow bean sauce and fried shallots are also fabulous: although the chilies give the dish a degree of heat, the flavor is more truly sour than anything else.
Thai vegetables in green curry, a mixture that includes mushrooms, tiny Thai eggplants, broccoli, onions, cauliflower and beans, are powerfully flavored with lemongrass and coconut. It is irresistible. I wish the wok-sauteed eggplant, which combines two kinds of eggplant with crisply fried shallots, also included the pea-size eggplants of Thailand. Truly tiny, they have a pleasing bitterness that is not unlike Typhoon's mixture of fresh rice noodles, bitter melon and shrimp. The slightly sticky noodles are especially good topped with slices of vinegar-marinated chilies.
Steamed tofu with minced chicken, chilies and basil is another dish that offers the clear, fresh flavors of Thailand. Charred beef salad also has the unmistakable clarity characteristic of Thai food. Be sure to try the basil-topped soft-shell crabs on a chili-drenched bed of glass noodles. Satays -- skewers of meat, seafood, vegetable or fruit -- make good snacks and are served at the bar as well. And if you are a hot food fan, don't miss wok-charred Manila clams with red chili jam.
A couple of the dishes are disappointments. Chief among them are the fried dumplings, which remind me of something that might be served at Trader Vic's. Tamarind-lacquered roast duck is another letdown; although the flavor is fine and sour, the texture is tough and fatty. And I suspect the pork ribs, glazed with roasted chili paste, would be more interesting if they were spicier.
In Thailand, each diner participates with the cook, mixing herbs and condiments into the food to create a dish that is exactly to his own taste. There are no herbs at Typhoon, but it is fun to experiment with the different sauces. It is also exciting to taste the food with different drinks from the extensive list of beers and wines. The restaurant brews five American-style beers (wheat, pale ale, cream ale, black and tan, special bitter) and has a sixth, Colonial porter, now lagering. In addition there are 17 international beers and a large and interesting wine list. Everything is available by the glass, which means that you can try several wines at one meal. To my taste, the German and Austrian wines, which have the acidity and sweetness to stand up to bold flavors, are a perfect match.
The desserts, served on triangular plates, are very pretty and some are very good. I admire Banana Nanna Na, artful little cubes filled with hot bananas. A Buddha is stenciled on the plate, which is also embellished with banana ice cream. The strawberry shortcake with candied-lemon ice cream is light, fresh and tasty. I like the grapefruit and apple tart with anise ice cream and candied kumquats, too.
But decorative though these desserts may be, after a dinner at Typhoon I find myself longing for a true Thai dessert. With the taste of chilies, ginger, cilantro and tamarind lingering in my mouth, I dream of ending the meal with a bowl of sticky rice and mangoes in coconut cream.
At the rate they are going at Typhoon, my dreams may well come true.
