About one sixth of the total volume of the body consists of spaces between cells, which collectively are called the interstitium. The fluid in these spaces is the interstitial fluid.
The structure of the interstitium is shown in Figure 16-4. It contains two major types of solid structures: (1) collagen fiber bundles and (2) proteoglycan filaments. The collagen fiber bundles extend long distances in the interstitium. They are extremely strong and therefore provide most of the tensional strength of the tissues. The proteoglycan filaments, however, are extremely thin coiled or twisted molecules composed of about 98 per cent hyaluronic acid and 2 per cent protein. These molecules are so thin that they can never be seen with a light microscope and are difficult to demonstrate even with the electron microscope. Nevertheless, they form a mat of very fine reticular filaments aptly described as a "brush pile."
"Gel" in the Interstitium. The fluid in the interstitium is derived by filtration and diffusion from the capillaries. It contains almost the same constituents as plasma except for much lower concentrations of proteins because proteins do not pass outward through the pores of the capillaries with ease. The interstitial fluid is entrapped mainly in the minute spaces among the proteoglycan filaments. This combination of proteo-glycan filaments and fluid entrapped within them has the characteristics of a gel and therefore is called tissue gel.
Because of the large number of proteoglycan filaments, it is difficult for fluid to flow easily through the tissue gel. Instead, it mainly diffuses through the gel; that is, it moves molecule by molecule from one place to another by kinetic, thermal motion rather than by large numbers of molecules moving together.
Diffusion through the gel occurs about 95 to 99 per cent as rapidly as it does through free fluid. For the short distances between the capillaries and the tissue cells, this diffusion allows rapid transport through the interstitium not only of water molecules but also of electrolytes, small molecular weight nutrients, cellular excreta, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and so forth.
"Free" Fluid in the Interstitium. Although almost all the fluid in the interstitium normally is entrapped within the tissue gel, occasionally small rivulets of "free" fluid and small free fluid vesicles are also present, which means fluid that is free of the proteoglycan molecules and therefore can flow freely. When a dye is injected into the circulating blood, it often can be seen to flow through the interstitium in the small rivulets, usually coursing along the surfaces of collagen fibers or surfaces of cells.
The amount of "free" fluid present in normal tissues is slight, usually much less than 1 per cent. Conversely, when the tissues develop edema, these small pockets and rivulets of free fluid expand tremendously until one half or more of the edema fluid becomes freely flowing fluid independent of the proteoglycan filaments.
Fluid Filtration Across Capillaries Is Determined by Hydrostatic and Colloid Osmotic Pressures, and Capillary Filtration Coefficient
The hydrostatic pressure in the capillaries tends to force fluid and its dissolved substances through the capillary pores into the interstitial spaces. Conversely, osmotic pressure caused by the plasma proteins (called colloid osmotic pressure) tends to cause fluid movement by osmosis from the interstitial spaces into the blood. This osmotic pressure exerted by the plasma proteins normally prevents significant loss

The experience of two Nelson constituents has exposed for me a flaw in our justice system that needs to be fixed. That is why I am asking people to add their signatures to Wendy's Petition seeking the same rights and protection for victims when the offender is found to be insane.
Wendy is a Nelson nurse who was brutally assaulted by a mental health patient. She was kicked, stabbed and scalded during which the attacker said he would get off on an insanity plea. This is what happened when he was charged with attempted murder. The offender was recently re-located to Nelson without any opportunity for Wendy to have a say.
Another constituent, Sarah faced a similar trauma when she was brutally raped last year in a Nelson home invasion by a deranged man. She has sustained a brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder.
The problem is that because these offenders were found not guilty by way of insanity these women did not have the same rights as the victim of a criminal offender. They had no right to a victim impact statement in the court proceedings. They have no opportunity to a say on when and where the special patient is subsequently released or any conditions of release. I also find it unjust that the offender has the right to access personal information about the victim for their defence but the victim has no right to any information about the offender's health status on privacy grounds.
This anomaly in the law is affecting more people with the national growth in successful insanity pleas. There were four in 2000, 16 in 2000 and 36 in 2017. Some legal and mental health professionals have argued that a victim should not get a say as they are not experts. This is flawed. We allow victims to have a say before the Parole Board despite them not having the expert skills to make an assessment of the likelihood of re-offending.
The reason for giving victims a say is to ensure that the justice and health system does not become so focused on the offender that they lose perspective of the innocent victim. It also allows conditions of care and release to ensure the victim feels safe.
I am in awe of Wendy's courage in taking up this case for reform after all she has been through. Famous civil rights activist and US founder Benjamin Franklin said "Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are."
I invite Nelsonians to support Wendy's petition. You can sign online at parliament.govt.nz, at my site at the Saturday Nelson Market or at my caravan at the Nelson A & P Show this weekend, the Collingwood St Pharmacy, Age Concern in Richmond or pick up petition forms from my Electorate office.
The petition closes 9 March 2019. Together we can make this much needed improvement in our justice system.

There isn't any reason in any respect why you may't start to think about taking a holiday even with an ostomy. When deciding what to pay for a used camper van, you'll have to do your analysis and go to the varied locations people use to sell an RV. There are various categorised RV listing gross sales sites you can check each regionally and on-line. I'm pleased to characteristic the work of Alessandra Meniconzi, one among my favourite journey photographers, on the Berkutchi of Central Asia She tells us that in Kazak language, Berkutchi, means hunters with the falcon". I like to preserve a journey dimension bottle of dry shampoo to give my hair a little refresh/bounce after landing.
A reputable, specialist advisor who provides you with value-for-cash, providing you end-to-end solutions that will exceed expectations and deal with you as a person. The middle walls are a darkish grey tying them along with the newly upholstered gray couch, dark blue cupboards & blue rug. Entrusting your journey with an ASATA member, you are assured that you are working with knowledgeable travel administration company or travel guide that isn't only sure by a strict code of conduct, but also believes in moral and skilled provision of travel companies. However the reality is that solely a very small percentage of people that strive will really make it as travel photographers. Don't forget to incorporate your hotel and airline cellphone number in your journey destination if you travel when pregnant. Simply seek for sites like Ibiza.travel, ThinkDigital.travel or Colombia.travel to see what we imply.
Travel tip number one could be to get good insurance, I haven't been to Nepal but Tibet is very related and well being care is pretty basic by our requirements in lots of places and the altitude certain takes some getting used to if you're a coastal dweller :). Journey light and be prepared to enjoy the people and the nation and you'll have a ball particularly if you make an effort to meet the locals.
Great journey ideas- perhaps sometime after I retire I will be able to do Route 10 from coast to coast~ Completely happy New Year! This is a actually cool space for scenery but be sure to don't head out in summer time or you'll not want to get out of your air conditioned automobile to see the sites.

- Description
Learn Four Bro. John Hamman Classics from the Las Vegas Card Expert, Allan Ackerman
Final Aces- The trick that fooled LePaul! In the "Classic Ace Assembly," the four aces are dealt to the table and three indifferent cards are dealt on each. The Aces assemble in one pile and the indifferent cards in other piles. The effect is repeated two or three times under increasingly impossible conditions.
Blushing Joker- Three blue-backed Jokers are shown, two with black faces and one with a "blush." The cards are dealt face-down separating the Villainous Jokers from the Blushing Joker and the "blush" vanishes. when the blushing Joker is again placed between these scoundrels his "blush" reappears. This sequence is repeated. The spectators are taken into the performer's confidence and shown that the Blushing Joker is actually double-faced, normal on one side and blushing on the other. the cards are again dealt. To the audience's surprise, the Blushing Joker is now a normal red-backed card.
Micro Macro- A miniature deck is ribbon spread and its size is compared to four regular court cards. A flick of the wrist and the courts diminish to miniature cards. An unbelievable effect.
Amorphous Ace- The Amorphous Ace, one of the four hearts reverses itself, rise to the top of the packet, then changes to the Ace of Clubs. The performer concludes by showing the packet to be the Aces.

Drawing links between physical and human geography is not foreign to the subject ("Updated JC geography curriculum worries some"; Feb 22).
The older syllabuses had always sought to integrate the two, albeit to a smaller extent.
The content taught in school also connects both aspects, including the measures taken by countries in response to natural disasters and their respective successes.
To draw a clear line between the world's natural and human aspects would be to deprive the discipline of its essence.
That there is now a greater emphasis on the interconnectedness of human and physical geography only serves to highlight the useful skill of drawing connections between ideas and concepts.
Students should not be deterred from taking the subject because of the perceived adverse impact on their grades, but should rather focus on the benefits that a more robust curriculum would yield.
Geography offers valuable tools for students to comprehend and analyse complex ideas, patterns and data. Students are trained to analyse questions and reason convincingly. These skills can not only be applied across disciplines, but will also prepare the students for lifelong learning.
The students' apprehension seen in the article indicates a worrying trend among younger Singaporeans that places an emphasis on grades over one's learning experience.
Practical decision-making should not detract us from the fundamental purpose of education, which is to educate.
Although an overemphasis on grades may be inevitable in a meritocratic system, the perspectives that one can gain in taking a humanities subject like geography are far more valuable than the distinction in one's result slip.
Indeed, I have found many rewards from my days of studying humanities subjects, including geography, in junior college.
While academic excellence should be every student's pursuit, let us not reduce the subject to merely a means to an end.

Why was I so bored and irritated by this? I hate Puccini of course, but La Boheme isn't so bad in principle and according to my battered red notebook I thoroughly enjoyed the BYO production in 1998. We were sitting at the very front, in case certain members of our party wished to faint, and that will have done no favours to the balance. However, even from short range, it was often difficult to hear Rodolfo (John Pierce) and Mimi (Susana Gaspar). The same went, though less seriously, for the Musetta of Anna Patalong.
Now that I think about it, the production was rather strange. Rodolfo and Mimi searched for her key in what seemed to be full daylight, and various pieces of furniture made their way to the ceiling–most notably Mimi's deathbed, but also the table upon which Musetta sat as she delivered her Waltz Song–she looked distinctly nervous as she rose into the air, and who can blame her? I found it difficult to work out which was the inside and which was the outside at the beginning of Act 3, probably because there was snow falling both 'inside' and 'outside'.
I liked the Marcello of Koji Terada–he had certainly more than mastered the vocal demands of his part and slouched around like a true Parisian artist. Colline (Benjamin Cahn) and Schaunard (Matthew Sprange) were affectingly–and effectively–youthful.
Why then was I so bored and irritated by this? I think it's because this world of penniless would-be artists and thinkers was for a time my milieu as a young man, and this production resolutely refused to capture any particle of it.
Later: the things rising to the ceiling still worry me. Perhaps we should have a comment from Don Paterson:
I saw that time is love, and time requires
of everything its full expenditure
that love might be conserved; and then I saw
that love is not what we mean by the word.
So the whole world blooms continually
within its true and hidden element,
as sea, a beautiful and lucid sea
through which it pilots, rising without end.

Takeshi Hidaka meets with Buffaloes front office
by Gen on Oct.14, 2010 @ 4:45 am, under NPB
Takeshi Hidaka met with the Buffaloes' front office for their first round of negotiations on Tuesday. No money figures were exchanged. Sponichi feels that Hidaka will probably exercise his FA option and end up staying with the team, just like he did in 2006.

This month we're going to go over five more commonly-asked questions from new users. Many of these have been discussed in detail in previous posts, but for those who may have missed them the first time, it may be of some benefit to touch on them once more.
1. What is the 'aomtrial.license' file? How do I get it? How do I install it?
The 30-day Trial version of Associate-O-Matic requires having the aomtrial.license file in the same directory as the shop.php file. When you download the Trial version from the AOM website, you click on a large blue button that initiates the download. Immediately below that is another large blue button for the aomtrial.license file, along with instructions. When you click on the button, you are presented with about a paragraph of encoded text. You must copy this entire text and then create the actual aomtrial.license file, pasting the text into the file. It is very important that there be nothing else in the file – no default HTML, etc. And the filename must be aomtrial.license, not triallicense.txt, etc. The aomtrial.license file is also not the same as the LICENSE.TXT file that comes with AOM.
If the file is not set up exactly, the Trial version will not work.
2. How do I load a logo image into my store?
Once you have a logo image that you have created yourself or had made for you, it must be uploaded to your website. You can put it in the same directory as the shop.php and admin.php files if you want, or create a separate subfolder for your own images (like 'www.mysite.com/myimages'). Then in your AOM control panel, under the Images tab, look for Logo. Into this box, put the name of the logo image (if the image filename is logo.jpg, then use that). Normally that would be all you need to do. If the logo is in a subfolder (such as 'www.mysite.com/myimages', as mentioned previously), then you would need to enter the subfolder and the filename: myimages/logo.jpg. On some servers you may have to use the whole URL: http://www.mysite.com/myimages/logo.jpg. If one method does not work, try another.
Once you have the file name entered correctly and saved, you may have to refresh your browser to see the image over your shop. Or go to the 'View Cart' page, since it's never cached.
3. Why am I getting a '500 Server Error' when I try to view my site? The Admin page loads okay.
This is a recent error that may be related to the ionCube loader being out of date. You can find out what version you have by downloading the AOM Extras zip file. Unzip the file and upload the aom_phpinfo.php file to your directory. Then view the file by going to 'www.mysite.com/aom_phpinfo.php' (substituting your actual domain name in place of 'mysite.com'). If you scroll down past the first section, you should see something that looks like this:
Note the ionCube PHP Loader is v3.3.10. You can obtain the latest loaders here. On some servers you may need the assistance of your webhost. It's important to note that a 500 error just means some problem the server cannot identify. So sometimes you may see this message and it's got nothing to do with ionCube at all. Your host should be able to help you with most errors of this sort.
4. How can I change the 'Home' tab to something else?
You can't change the Home tab. It's designed to always go to your site's home page. But, you can use another tab instead. Simply create an URL-based category, name it something like 'main site' and put the URL of your site home page, blog, landing page, whatever. You can also use it in a category box on the left or right side of your site if you don't use tabs. This way visitors to your store will always have a way to return to your main site.
5. Can I have a store that covers different countries, like USA and UK, etc.?
Amazon operates each locale like a separate company. So your associate ID only works in the country it was issued in; an ID for Amazon.com will not work in Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.ca (and vice-versa). Each locale will also have different categories, different node numbers, and different ASINs. It's not possible to have one site that can mesh all these incompatible parameters, which means you would need a separate site for each locale, and a corresponding associate ID for each site. They also prefer to pay commission in local currency via direct deposit to a local bank. If you opt for a check to be mailed to you, expect to pay currency conversion fees when you cash or deposit it.
Hopefully this information will be beneficial to those who are new to the software, and even some more experienced users.

South Dakota Housing Development Authority (SDHDA) awarded a grant of $91,000 for housing improvements in Rapid City, reports the Rapid City Journal. The goal is to create more accessible housing for Black Hills Works' clients. Brad Saathoff, Black Hills Work CEO, says the grant will be used to renovate buildings built over 40 years ago. The entryways were not built for the large mechanical wheel chairs used today.
SDHDA's Board of Commissioners approved $2.6 million in funding across the state. The funding will be used for eight projects and building more than 75 new housing units.

Morning Stock Market Thoughts For August 26, 2013
Futures are pointing slightly lower this morning. But with bonds stabilizing pre-market, there might be room for an up-day. We'll have to wait and see. IWM and ITB/XHB will be the first things I look at.
In times like these it usually pays to way 45-60 minutes to see if an intra-day range can emerge. Let others set the pace and then jump in when you think it's safe to do so.
Trading Thoughts On Stocks I'm Watching Today:
— If there is broad market strength, or strength in XLF, then I expect SNV to stay strong. The fundamental narrative is pretty good and if the bank can keep growing revenues then a multiple expansion will at some point become justifiable. Until we get more news I'll be watching the price action in Synovus Financial closely.
— A low volume pullback in IAG would be something to grab my interest. Larger gold miners like ABX might be a more conservative play on the same idea. It's hard to call a bottom in gold here (as bottoming can be a long and arduous process with lots of sharp bear market rallies). But over the long term I like the price of the value here and might try a "pilot buy" in one of the above-mentioned.
— TINY is getting thrown in the basement. Wake me up when it starts to move.
— I think BRKS is oversold as well and, I might even stalk an entry in this company. I really like the long term prospects for Brooks Automation. Once the semi-conductor manufacturing cycle ramps back up, BRKS should fly. Until then, I think the stock might drift lower, or bounce around a narrow range. I'm apt to slowly start building a position.
Other Thoughts and Good Articles I've Read Today:
— As usual there are some good posts over at iBankCoin this morning. If you haven't already, check out "The Fly On Interest Rates" … And Option Addict's Weekly Watchlist is rife with actionable trading ideas!
— ForexKong points out: Something smells funky with the Australian Dollar.
— Over at Business Insider, Joe Weisenthal is raising the alarm about the debt ceiling.
— Market Logic is in full effect: "The numbers were disappointing this morning, but maybe we've returned to one of those odd situations where bad news is good for the market in terms of the Fed tapering," said Peter Jankovskis, co-chief investment officer at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.
Back with more later!
Stock Market Day In Review August 26, 2013
This morning we talked about how the debt ceiling could be the next item to trigger a "risk-off move." This piece of news isn't a surprise. It's been on the calendar for months. But it's a good example of market logic… and, "how things don't matter until they do." Couple that with a war on Syria and you get:
2 months until debt ceiling extension measures run out
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) August 26, 2013
And then…
The Trillion Dollar Trolls are waking up
— zerohedge (@zerohedge) August 26, 2013
So while we're quoting Zerohedge (something I try not to do too much of), you might be wise to keep an eye on the "war rotation." Gold miners are looking more interesting than ever. Well, the other reason for that is…
Stocks in general were quite weak into the close (like I need to tell you). But the fades in GOOG, IWM and ITB were disappointing. XOM is trading at is almost trading at it's Graham Number. And Seth Klarman is doubling down on BP. Both of these oil giants are almost neutral YTD. Will they finally wake up if things in Syria finally reach a boiling point (re: western intervention)?

Preparations underway for Bigfork parking expansion
Efforts by members of the Bigfork Community Development Foundation Trust continue this fall in preparation to expand downtown parking.
According to foundation president Suzie Keenan, the building that formerly housed Blush Salon and Bigfork Frame Shop on Grand Avenue is set to be torn down sometime between Sept. 15 and 20
In May, the Flathead County Commissioners approved the rezoning of the area where a nearly one acre plot of land is situated. Once the building is torn down, it can be prepped for paving. The Bigfork Center of the Performing Arts bought the property.
The lot is expected to add about 70 new, and free, spaces to the 140 that are currently packed into downtown. The hill at the back of the lot will be graded for a second tier of parking
On Saturday, Suzie and her husband, Bob, were working on tearing out some of the fixtures that are still in the building. It was part of the effort to raise money to help pay for the new lot.
The Keenans, who ran the Bigfork Inn for more than 30 years, have been busy with the building.
"Anyone that wants to stop and get some of the fixtures, doors, whatever, is welcome to call and we can meet them so they can see if there is anything they may be interested in," Suzie Keenan said.
Some of items available are a bay window, toilets, double pane windows, air conditioner, hot water tank and ceiling fans, for a small donation.
She said the community response has been very positive with donations coming in from 25,000.
The center's efforts through a mailing to individuals and businesses netted about half of the $1.3 million needed to complete the work.
"We believe the parking will be a major economic driver for the community," she said. "We've already had people parking here after they found out we had it, so it's already had a benefit to downtown businesses."
In a previous Daily Inter Lake article, Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts board member and project leader Walter Kuhn said, while the project wouldn't completely solve the parking issue downtown, it's a "huge step in the right direction."
The lot will be maintained year-round by the performing arts center, which Kuhn said would benefit most from the new lot.

If your Bookings are set for manually approve bookings, there are several ways how you can find out, that a new booking was made (if this option is untagged, the new appointment will just appear in the Calendar).
- In the Calendar tab a number, indicating how many new bookings have been made, will appear.
- A notification about a new booking request appears above the Calendar in the Calendar tab. It includes the name of the client and the service being booked.
- In the Calendar, on that specific date and time, a new slot with the clients name will appear.
- You also receive an email notification about the new request.
Now you need to confirm (or reject - it is up to you) the request. You can open the appointment by clicking on it, or by clicking on the notification including the new booking. A window with following information appears:
- Clients name and contact information,
- Time of the appointment,
- Type of the service,
- Staff member, that the client booked the service with
If the client did not pick a particular staff member, you can assign him one in this window (otherwise you might be overbooked). Simply click on Not assigned in the Who? bar. Then justchoose a particular staff from the list, which will automatically unfold.
At the end of the table, you will notice two buttons - blue one with Confirm and a red one with Reject. Choose the corresponding one, depending on whether you want to confirm or reject the booking.
If you reject it, a window pops-up, where you can write a polite, but clear message to your client explaining why you have rejected his booking. If you confirm it, a field with the particular booking will become fully colored, instead of being just hatched.

'Agreement default stalls $20m re-fleeting exercise for NCAT'
The contract to acquire 20 new training aircraft for the Nigerian College of Aviation and Technology (NCAT) at the sum of $20million has lately been enmeshed in controversies, with allegations and denials that the contract bypassed due process and might have been inflated. At the middle of it all is the contract awardee, Interjet Nigeria Limited, whose its Chief Executive Officer, Seun Peters, explains to reporters why none of the aircraft has been delivered till date among other sundry issues. WOLE OYEBADE was there.
Background to the refleeting exercise
NCAT for a long time since 2005 has been trying to re-fleet its aircraft because what they had were very old aircraft. They had gone to several aircraft manufacturers like Bell, Cessna Aircraft and all over United States, but their research kept leading them back to Diamond Aircraft in Austria, because we have the safest aircraft and the most easy to maintain. Interjet Nigeria Limited is their authorised representative in West Africa.
Sometime in 2013, they approached Diamond directly to say that they wanted to buy from them. That was during the time of the immediate past rector of NCAT. Diamond, however, referred them back to us (Interjet) as their representative. More so, we are based in Nigeria.
They (NCAT) came to us and we submitted documents to change their old fleet to new one. We went back and forth till they contacted us in 2014 that they have gotten approval from the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP), and a letter of award issued to us. We believed they were being proactive and it is not our business to ask whether or not they got presidential approval. The letter just stated that we have been awarded the contract.
The actual figure of the award is $20million for 20 aircraft, split in four tranches; 15 of the DA40 and five of the DA42. It was supposed to be five aircraft delivery every 12 months because production takes between five to six months.
I'll like to emphasize that even in the BPP's letter, it was stated that we were agents to Diamond. We were not an emergency company that just surfaced or a middle-man company. We represent Diamond as their authorised agent.
We were given the contract but there was a lien on the part payment of 15 per cent. It was not until after the presidential approval in April 2015 that the money was released to us. Meanwhile, we had placed the order in November 2014 for production. Aircraft is not like cars that you just pay and collect; it has to be produced on request. Production lasts between five to six months. We placed the order and they have started the production of five aircraft – three DA40 and two DA42, while we made the down payment to them based on what we were paid by NCAT.
Does the payment cover the whole sum or part payment?
Based on the agreement we had, it was supposed to be 15 per cent of the total sum, but what was paid was less than that 15 per cent. Yet, we went ahead in good faith based on the trust we have in NCAT to start production.
So far, we produced five aircraft. Subsequently, we've sent several letters to NCAT to come and make further payments so that they can collect their aircraft. We did not hear from them. Diamond had to take a position since there are demands waiting. And the unique thing about aircraft is that once you produce and it is on ground, the time starts running for maintenance.
Diamond was forced to sell three out of the five aircraft produced; the DA40s after seven months of waiting. They kept the two DA42. When they saw that we were still not coming, they had to sell one DA42 that has some special avionics for the Nigerian terrain. But they had to sell it at the price of an ordinary aircraft because the aircraft was just sitting there amidst its maintenance and all that.
There is just one aircraft waiting for NCAT now, for which the down payment paid to us covers but Diamond is already asking for penalties since it has been kept for 14 months. We are appealing to NCAT for specific performance on the contract to make payment so that we can continue.
There is already an allegation challenging the due process of the contract and the legal status of your organisation too.
Yes, we are aware. This is a company that has been in business since 2010. We are not just registered. The question those faceless petitioners should ask themselves is that can BPP or even NCAT do business with a company that is not registered and does not have a certificate of incorporation? Or will the Air Force, our client that we have dealt with successfully and supplied their two aircrafts and a simulator, deal with an unknown company? These are the questions they should ask themselves.
They have alleged that we do not exist when NCAT gave us the contract in 2014. The change of name really has nothing to do with the company itself. We did not even change 'Interjet' that was the name and style we have always operated with. We changed 'maintenance' to suit our new engagements and to that effect, we got a new certificate issued, but with the same old number. Anyone in doubt can be referred to the Corporate Affairs Commission. The allegation that our company was not in existence is malicious.
Was it these allegations that caused the breach in agreement on the part of NCAT?
I don't think so. Even the manufacturer had written series of letters to NCAT, to say that they should come and perform or tell us what is going on and why has additional payment not been made. In the last letter, they told Diamond that they have only one plane left and kept for them based on what their payment covered. The agreement we signed with NCAT is that at this stage, they are supposed to have made at least 85 per cent payment.
But why is the initial payment less than 15 per cent that was agreed?
That may be partly due to the foreign exchange variation at the time. The payment was made in 2014, but funds released in 2015. The contract was awarded when the exchange rate was N184 to $1. When the contract was awarded, they paid us a part payment of N320m that didn't cover the 15 per cent agreement. But given the organisation we are dealing with, we gave a personal guarantee to Diamond to go ahead and produce. I think what delayed them was that they have not gotten the presidential or FEC approval, which came in April 2015. Like I said, though they paid us, we did not have access to the money because they put a lien on it.
Why would your parent company sell four out of the five aircraft given the part payment already made?
The payment made was like a down payment and more payment was expected as agreed. But the five aircraft have been produced and waiting for about seven months. That was the case because they respected the source of the award, being the Federal Government and with the bank guarantee.
The agreement we had with NCAT says on signing the agreement there shall be payment of 15 per cent as advanced payment guarantee; payment of 20 per cent upon issuance; payment of 50per cent upon submission of final inspection. NCAT officials have gone for inspection and they had seen the aircraft but they did not release the money, so right in front of them they started selling them off. Aircraft is not something that is kept on ground.
What exactly do you want now, if the project is still valid?
We want specific performance of the contract signed. We want NCAT to pay all that is due because we are owed now about 85 per cent of the sum. The first five aircraft should have been delivered since last year, if they had paid us. In event that they fail to comply with the terms of the agreement, we may have to resort to legal action.

A little video to explain how Italian locals tell the time.
A little video to explain how Italian locals tell the time.
Last year I introduced you to Mr Cretino; he was the wonderful character who exchanged my UK driving licence for an Italian one and it only took him 8 months!!! Not bad for Italy. I have forgiven and almost forgotten about him.
However, yesterday when I went into the local plumbers' to buy a replacement part for the toilet in our new house, the horrors of the driving licence fiasco came flooding back and flooding is an appropriate word.
It would appear Mr Cretino has a son; we shall call him Mr Cretino Jr.
I met him when I drove down to the local plumbing merchants to buy a new plastic widget for the flush of the toilet. The beginning of my troubles started when I turned on the water at the new house and created a minor tsunami in the upstairs bathroom. Nobody panicked when it happened, mainly because Mrs Sensible wasn't there to watch the water cascade down the staircase and I was in the cellar turning on the water main and deciding how much wine I could store down there and would Mrs Sensible bother venture down the cold, dark, damp staircase to keep a tally of my wine stash the bottles of wine I planned on keeping solely for when guests arrive.
Anyway, after running around the house like a headless chicken, and mopping the bathroom and stairs I drove down to the Plumbing merchants to buy a replacement widget. Had I known the assistant was the son of Mr Cretino, I would have simply stuck an out of order sign on the bathroom door and told Mrs Sensible it was beyond repair and she would have to use the other bathroom.
So using my bestest Italian, it went something like this:
PN: Ciao
Mr C Jr: Yeah yeah, wait a moment.
PN: Ok no problem.
Mr C Jr: What do you want?
PN: OK, That broken, erh, not function good, change for new please.
Mr C Jr: What?
PN: Look, No stop water. This broken!!! Change for new, please.
Mr Cretino Jr, picked up my little plastic widget and turned it around in his hands, he made a lot of sighing noises and said "Nope sorry, we don't sell these"
I was devastated, Casale is a small town and this was the biggest plumbing merchants in the town. They had shelves and shelves of taps, tools, bits of plastic, kitchen sinks and to be honest I am sure they had one of my widgets or at the very least a set of seals for my widget. So I tried again.
PN: OK, This black, you have? I said as I pointed to one of the little black seals.
Mr C Jr: Nope, we don't sell them either.
It was at this point that I realised whom I was dealing with. It wasn't that he looked like Mr Cretino; for a start Mr Cretino was bald and this guy not only had a full head of hair, he also had a beard, maybe he got his looks from his mother.
While Mr Cretino Jr watched me reassemble my widget, I was suddenly struck by a great idea.
PN: (Holding the little plastic widget up in front of Mr Cretino Jr's nose) You have similar, but a bit different?
Mr Cretino Jr: Of course we do!
He walked off down the corridor of shelves and returned with a shiny metal widget.
When he handed me the widget, I was wondering whether to give Mr Cretino Jnr a gift of my old plastic widget, maybe not in his hand but somewhere that would require a gifted surgeon to remove it.
Mrs Sensible had a little bit of a fall out with Ipercoop today. She was studying the cost of a bottle of fizzy water and found Levissima, a premium brand, was priced at €0.48 for a pack of 6 bottles and underneath was marked the price of €0.05 a litre. This was truly a bargain, it was almost as cheap as tap water, so much so I nearly ran out and fetched a couple more trolleys so that we could take 500 litres home. I was already dreaming of what a bath in fizzy water might be like.
Mrs Sensible asked a shelf stacker if they were really selling fizzy bottled water at 5 cents a litre; he looked at Mrs Sensible as though she was stupid and said "of course it was an error: nobody would sell water at 5 cents a litre" Mrs Sensible was still talking to him, when he turned his back and walked away!!!
Now, Mrs Sensible is normally a calm and controlled person, but in circumstances like these she tends to quickly switch to teacher mode, so I was surprised that without commenting on the shelf stacker's manners, she turned on her heel and wheeled her trolley off towards the entrance like a Formula One 1 racing driver.
Unaware of what was going on in her mind all I could do was to run after her trying to catch up. At the Punto Ascolto (Customer Care Desk) she explained to the supervisor, a tall and kind lady who looked a little German, that the shelf stacker had been very rude to her whilst Mrs Sensible was really only trying to do them a favour.
She explained that if they didn't change the price tag quickly, a hundred people (because we would phone them all) would rush here and demand to buy fizzy water at €0.05 a litre given that under a European law, shops are bound to sell their merchandise at the marked price, despite any spurious pricing errors that might have occurred.
The German looking Customer Care lady tried to contact the head of the water department and said to Mrs Sensible "a shelf stacker has not the power to change price tags, but yeah, he shouldn't have been rude, sorry…."
As the person in charge of the water department was nowhere to be found, the lady at the Punto Ascolto headed quickly towards the incriminated area, followed by Mrs Sensible and her trolley, followed by me, still a tad confused.
Together we examined the price tag and, yes it did say 9 Litres of water for € 0.43. The tall lady said "it is a big error and thank you for pointing it out, but only my colleague can change the tag, that is when she arrives from God knows where…" At that point a small woman who looked no more than 25 appeared panting and puffing: she had obviously just run from her office or just finished a marathon. She started babbling something that sounded like a lot of nonsense to me.
The argument about the cost of a bottle of water once again escalated: the small woman tried to justify the mistake saying that the tags always show the price of one bottle, trying to convince Mrs Sensible that she was wrong and they were right and therefore it was no problem; Mrs Sensible, on the other hand, was pointing at the price tag arguing that it clearly showed 9 litres for € 0.43 and said € 0.05 a litre; the small woman was still trying to explain a simple maths equations to Mrs Sensible not knowing that my wife teaches maths.
As Mrs Sensible broke into teacher mode, the little woman was producing ma, però , ecco, (but, so, maybe) sounds whilst the helpful assistant kept repeating "Togli il cartello! TOGLI IL CARTELLO!" (Remove the price tag!) I was enjoying the tennis match between the three of them when suddenly I heard Mrs Sensible shout "Cos'ha da guardare così in cagnesco?!?!" What are you glaring at me for? Now, it's not often I hear her shout at people, so horrified and wide eyed I turned toward the direction of her words, where I saw the shelf stacker half hiding behind his boxes and glaring at Mrs Sensible.
"Io vi sto facendo un favore!" I'm doing you a favour she shouted, before people realize they can demand to buy water at the marked price! He was bellowing back angrily when the small lady was struck by a bolt of pure inspiration and decided to remove the price tag and the tall helpful lady yelled Grazie al cielo! Finalmente!
As we wandered off towards the meat counter I asked Mrs Sensible: "So how much was the water?"
On Tuesday the 8th of October in the year of our Lord 2013 I supped my last glass of wine.
I am yet to notice any significant health benefits. In fact my health took a downward turn last Friday when I complained of some sort of manflu. Mrs Sensible examined me and said it was probably a bad case of asthma. She promptly prescribed an antihistamine tablet, after a lot of protesting that they only send me to sleep, I dutiful took the offered pill and promptly fell asleep. I slept from Friday evening straight through to Saturday evening, only waking up long enough to take another pill and then immediately became comatose until some-time on Sunday.
You guys know I don't trust or like doctors or dentists, but under threats of severe repercussions, if I didn't do as I was told, I was finally persuaded by Mrs Sensible to go and see the local medicine man, mainly because my coughing at bedtime was worse than my snoring and was keeping both of us awake.
The doctor diagnosed that I was suffering from Brontosaurus or some other dreaded disease probably related to cervical. He prescribed an intense 5 day course of antibiotics, a little bottle of clear liquid to stop my coughing, pastels for my sore throat and not wanting to be left out, my good wife Mrs Sensible made me use an inhaler for people who are suffering from asthma. We agreed to disagree on the added benefits of using another antihistamine tablet.
Last night, which was three days into my treatment, I suddenly suffered a coughing fit. Tears were rolling down my face and the only sound I could produce was whuu whuu whuuuu. My lungs finally decided to go on strike and as I staggered into the kitchen while trying to bang my back in a vain attempt to re-start my lungs; I heard Mrs Sensible drop her mobile phone and come running into the kitchen to help me: she immediately joined in the banging on my back; as she slowly bludgeoned me to the floor I could hear her friend continuing to talk on the phone through the loud speaker, totally ignorant to the fact that she was talking to herself and that my wife was trying to save my life.
My lungs decided they couldn't withstand any more of the punishing Mrs Sensible was meeting out to them and with a loud gasp of air they started to work again. I managed to squeak "basta basta" enough enough to Mrs Sensible and she stopped her onslaught.
As I slowly got back up to my feet, I cast a quick glance to make sure Mrs Sensible hadn't taken too much pleasure from beating me to the floor, fortunately all I could see in her eyes was love and concern.
OOOH! I have news from Mr Cretino allegedly he has my new Italian driving licence, I wonder which name it will be in. When I get my breath back I will fill you in and when I finish my antibiotics I will raise a glass or two of wine to you all.
Bye for now
Pecora Nera
Ok girls and boys, I have been invited to submit a post (under 1000 words) to a newspaper and after a long think, bearing in mind I can't use lots of pictures, this is the one I will send. Unless you have a better idea.
I would love any feedback, you can be critical and I won't be offended. I might just un-follow you 🙂
Grazie PN
Today is back to school day for most of the children in Italy. My Italian wife, Mrs Sensible is a primary school teacher. This year the Italian education authority thought it would be a good idea for her to teach English, mathematics and music in a school five villages away and English and Italian in a school six villages away. My wife seems to spend half her life driving from one school to another.
While I sit here typing this blog Mrs Sensible is colouring in posters for her new classrooms. The little quip I made about, I hope you have finished all your work before you started colouring in your pictures was almost met with physical violence.
I too have to go to school; Mrs Sensible has forced me to go to the local evening class to learn Italian. I suppose forced is maybe a bit hard, my mum forced me to school by threatening me with the slipper, Mrs Sensible used the "If you want to stay in Italy you need to learn the language or maybe we should just go back to the UK" threat.
I have never found my lack of Italian to be a huge problem, I can order wine and grappa. I can also request the cost of items at the local shops. In fact my lack of Italian has been quite useful, Scusi, io inglese, mi dispiace non capsico, (Sorry, I am English I don't understand) has saved me from buying expensive items or helped me escape from street traders trying to sell me bags and belts.
So, as my good wife had become exasperated with being my interpreter, she enrolled me in a basic Italian night class run by the local municipal for stranieri (immigrants). The teacher Maestra Piera is in her late 50s. Her eyes glitter with excitement as she explained to my wife that if I want to learn Italian, all I have to do is listen to everything she says. Oh and importantly attend her class regularly. This seems far removed from the way I was taught in school. I seem to remember it took the threat of the cane and detention for me to apply myself to the lessons.
On my first lesson, I was determined not to draw attention to myself. I quietly entered the classroom and walked to a desk at the back of the room. As I started to sit down, Maestra Piera pointed at me and announced to the class "Lui e' Inglese, si chiama Peter." (He is English, his name is Peter) She then pointed to a desk at the front of the class and shouted "Vieni Peter, vieni qui." (Come Peter, come here) The horrors of my former school life quickly returned as I slowly dragged myself to the front of the class and sat down in the desk that is normally reserved for the naughty boy. I was beginning to wonder if I would have to produce a sick note signed by my wife when I decided to skip a lesson.
The classroom is the same as any schoolroom that I have sat or stood in the corner of. The only difference is the desks are scored with graffiti in Italian, Giuseppe Ti Amo Loradana. (Giuseppe loves Loradana) As I sat waiting for the lesson to begin I started to thumb through my new Italian – English dictionary, wondering if my homework would include backing it in brown paper. As I sat there wishing I was somewhere else I become aware of all the different languages that were being spoken in the room Russian, Ukrainian and a lot of French but no English.
We started the first lesson with a simple subject. How to change a singular noun into a plural noun, while remembering to change the article at the same time. We also needed to remember that the rules are different for male and female gender nouns. Not only is it mind-boggling, but all the explanations the teacher gave were in Italian. Logarithms without a table or calculator would have been easier. It wasn't until I showed Mrs Sensible my notes later that night, that I became aware of what I had been listening to for the previous two and a half hours.
At one point during the lesson Maestra Pierra looked at me and said with a huge smile and a nod. "Peter hai Capito?" (Peter you understand?) I slowly shook my head no. Huge mistake! She walked to my desk smiled at me, leaned in close and raising her voice to a shout proceeded to give me the exact same explanation, once again in Italian. "Oh ok ok io capisco" (Oh ok ok I understand) I said. I never made that mistake again.
In the early lessons I think Maestra Piera thought I was her perfect student. I never asked her to repeat anything twice and I wrote down almost everything she said. It was only later that she understood how badly I was progressing in her lessons. One of the problems with the lessons, was I didn't understand Italian therefore I didn't understand the teacher. The second problem was the class had a massive mix of abilities. There were the French, Spanish and Romanians who with their Latin based language could argue with the teacher over the correct structure of a sentence and then there was me who needed pictures of cats and dogs with gatto and cane (cat and dog) printed beneath them.
I struggled through two years of classes with Maestro Piera and I know it was as much a struggle for her as it was for me. The symbolic certificate she gave me saying I had attained level 2 in Italian was presented more for my dogged attendance and also to make sure I didn't re apply for a third year.
**Thanks for the suggestions, I have updated the post. So if the comments below don't make any sense, it is my fault.
It is Monday morning in Italy, it is raining, I am sat in my office sulking and I need a bacon butty (bacon sandwich).
Don't tell Mrs Sensible, but from time to time I do miss bits of England, bits like crisps, real beer or a bacon butty.
During the summer two of my children came to visit me, "Dad, do you need anything bringing" they asked. The above photo shows the goodies they managed to fit in their suitcase. I think the only clothes Lucy managed to fit in her suitcase, were a pair of jeans and a bikini. We spent the rest of the holiday buying her summer dresses. On hindsight it might have been cheaper, to have air freighted my emergency provisions over and let Lucy fill her case with her own clothes.
Back to rainy Monday and life in my office, I have 25 industrial water pumps in Taiwan that should be sat in my stores, money sat in my customers banks that should be sat in my bank and I really, really need a bacon butty.
If I was still sat in my old office in England, it would still be Monday morning, it would still be raining and I would be dreaming of life in Italy. But, and it is only a small but. The sarni shop (sandwich shop) down the hill made fantastic bacon buttys.
I could order a pizza from the local pizzeria, if someone was here to phone them for me, last time I tried it was a total disaster. I never realised how difficult it was to mime down a phone line.
Io bisogno una pizza (I need a pizza)
Cosa? (What)
Mi scusi, Io bisogno una pizza Diavola, mio indirizzo è strada industriale… (Sorry, I need a Diavola pizza, my address is industrial road…)
Cosa, non capisco?
ARGGGHH! IO SONO INGLESE, IO FAME; IO BISOGNO UNA PIZZA, PLEASE. ( I am English, I am hungry, I need a pizza Please)
CLICK Brrrrrrrr
As I stared at the phone that was still brrrrr ing in my ear, Manzo the nice delivery man from Bartolini, arrived with a parcel. He understood that I was hungry and he phoned the pizzaria on my behalf.
The pizza, complete with a bottle of beer arrived. It was very nice, but I really wanted a bacon butty.
I have just bust my glasses.
As if the day was not bad enough, I have just bust my glasses.
I was going to do a post about the Easter bunny and how he gave Mrs Sensible a dishwasher rather than a chocolate egg, but the stupid rabbit bunny forgot to give me anything. So instead here is a post about Mrs Sensible's mum, Gatwick Airport and a police caution.
In 2007 Mrs Sensible and I were still living in rainy England. From time to time visitors from Italy would arrive and the language in our house, quickly changed from English to beautiful Italian, except mine of course. Despite the amazing collection of Italian grammar books and dictionaries I had acquired, I soon found mime was easier to learn and much more universal.
One of my favourite visitors to our house was my mother in law. One evening while Marta was staying, we were invited to dinner by our friends Gary and Joan. Joan created a delicious meal and during the meal Gary gave my mother in law a beautiful bone handle penknife for her husband. Gary said, he had carved the handle himself, he also strongly suggested that we place the knife in our main luggage when Marta flew home. This was duly translated by Mrs Sensible.
When I booked Marta's return flight to Sicily, I was amazed at how low the cost was, and so I also booked a seat for me. I told Mrs Sensible that her mum shouldn't carry her suitcase by herself, so I would go with her have a 10 day holiday and would be back in the UK quicker than she could say "questa è una cosa molto egoista da fare. Ho bisogno di una vacanza così"
The security at Gatwick Airport was on high alert following various terrorist incidents, so we had to remove our shoes and pass them with our bags and coats through the X ray machine. I didn't mind the increased precautions, because 1) I didn't really want to get on a plane that might have a bomb on it and 2) I had left all my dangerous items, such as my battery razor and tooth paste at home. As I walked pass the security guard and reached down to pick up my holdall. A female security guard pointed to Marta's hand bag and said "Is that yours sir?"
Mine!! A handbag! Was she mad? "It belongs to Marta" I said pointing at my mother in law. "Can we look in it please?" she asked.
I shrugged and turning to Marta I mimed, have you got any face cream, bottles or perfume in your bag. Marta smiled at me and shook her head. The security guard was definitely onto something, she was excitedly rummaging through Marta's bag; the way a sniffer dog might, if it had just sniffed 4 kilos of cocaine in burst bags.
With a flourish the guard produced Gary's penknife. As she opened the knife and waved it under our noses there was an audible AAHHH from the other travellers in the queue. I looked at Marta in amazement, this didn't look like the innocent pen knife Gary had given her, it looked like a Samurai sword, and if the guard didn't stop waving it about, someone was going to lose an arm.
I started to apologise, I explained that Marta was Italian, not used to travelling, not a spring chicken, not a terrorist, blah blah blah. I asked if she would kindly dispose of the knife and we would be on our way.
Fifteen minutes later, we were still stood in the naughty corner waiting for the police to come and tell us off. When PC Plod and his sergeant eventually arrived, I again apologised and explained that our flight was due to leave in 15 minutes. I calmly explained the dinner and the gift, it was at the point where I mentioned Marta's lack of English, that the Policeman asked if we needed an interpreter. It might take an hour or two for the interpreter to arrive, but we need to fill out some forms and your mother in law will need to accept a caution . We don't need an interpreter; I am bi lingual I said.
I translated all the questions the policeman asked. Some questions were easy, for example; what is her name or what is her address. But when the policeman asked me to translate, please ask her if she will accept a formal caution or would she prefer to make a statement at the local police station. I resorted to total gobbledygook. I strung as many Italian words that I knew together and kept adding stai zitta (shut up) every time Marta opened her mouth. I am not really sure what Marta thought as I started to say in very very bad Italian "stai zitta, where bathroom? I like kitchen no like knife, no stai zitta, please si si si I said, as I nodded my head.
Marta whose eyes were as wide as saucers, nodded her head. The policeman then gave my mother in law an official police caution. She was warned that if she ever gets into trouble again, this police caution may be taken into account.
My mother in law and I ran through the airport to the departure gate, while I tried to explain on the mobile to Mrs Sensible why we hadn't called her and no I wouldn't go back and ask the policeman if we could keep the penknife and yes I realised it was a gift for her dad.

Has anyone seen lone working? The UK has developed an obsession with collaboration and it's taken lone working hostage.
Everyone is talking about the need for greater collaboration in order to spark innovation, build company culture and drive productivity and we've certainly perpetuated this hype too. However, with all the noise about co-operation and communication, the power and importance of lone working has all but been forgotten.
All employees need to be able to work quietly, perhaps alone and even confidentially, yet the world of work is increasingly described as a team sport, where everyone is working together in scrum and huddle spaces, sat around a kitchen table or carrying out a three-way video call with remote colleagues. The truth is that most businesses, particularly those in the knowledge economy, require plenty of lone working too.
Dr Nicole Millard, an expert in data, analytics and emerging technology, has reportedly said that large offices are inefficient, especially for introverts who work better when they are not disturbed. Whether you're an introvert or an extrovert, the effects of noise and distraction, are far-reaching and widely acknowledged. Distraction costs physical and mental wellbeing. It can affect hearing, posture, mental health, sleep patterns and the ability to handle stress. It costs process efficiency, productivity and therefore profitability.
Such is this widespread focus on team work and consequently the open plan work environments that support it, that we're increasingly finding clients asking for dedicated areas where employees can work without distraction.
Over the last few years there has been a boom in furniture products and design finishes to meet this need and remove the need for make-shift solutions such as using meeting rooms to find quiet. Phone booths and acoustic solutions were some of the first products to appear to reduce the transfer of noise in open plan spaces. Now, mini meeting rooms, high-backed chairs, alcove sofas and mobile sound-proofed pods are amongst the many options for those wanting spaces for reflection, focused work and quiet study. Even simple 'silent' desk areas are proving popular in some organisations.
What's interesting here is that these spaces already exist in many workplaces. In many instances there is not the culture in place to encourage and empower employees to leave their desks and use them, there is a lack of etiquette to engender respectful workplace behaviours and there aren't enough of these spaces to meet employee demand.
The recent move to activity-based working is helping to support this shift, as it educates employers and employees about the collective value of empowerment and offering a variety of workspaces to suit different tasks. Some spaces are deliberately designed to spark innovation and support group work, while others are smaller, private spaces away from the throng for more focused and detailed tasks.
The quest for concentration leads requires the same starting point – organisations that understand the actual rather than perceived needs of the business and employees. It is only with this detailed knowledge about expectations, habits, behaviours and culture that employer can be sure the workplace fits the bill. One size does not fit all.
For a gaming company whose fortunes lie in the strength of its ideas for new product launches, collaboration is likely to be a huge part of its culture, working style and success. For an intellectual property law firm, the likelihood is that quiet work and concentration is more the order of the day.
Some may think that this renewed focus on lone working and concentration means that open-plan collaboration isn't working. However, it's really that the balance needs to be redressed. As Dr Millard puts it, we need a balance between we and me. With employers putting so much focus on trying to improve productivity from the same assets and an increasing spotlight on the importance of employee wellbeing, it's clear that minimising distraction should be a critical business objective.
The workplace narrative has been hijacked. We must remember the value of variety and discuss the plethora of different and ever-changing workplace styles and behaviours that the mobile age has given rise to. It's time for lone working to be firmly back in the workplace conversation.

Working towards Assignment 5
My tutor offered me some guidance for the Assignment
"The last assignment is to produce either a single image or a series that is entirely constructed and directed by you, so avoid documentary. Look into creating a tableau, where you have a multi-layered scene and a deep discourse about it. Aim to produce an image/s where the studum pulls you in but the punctum may not be overly evident. Perhaps as a follow-up project from this assignment, how about investigate your own areas of custodial responsibility, either current environments you oversee, or past locations, if still accessible. You could take this further by constructing elements in the environment that represent different aspects of your history. "
Firstly, my mind went straight to landscape but, of course, environment is anywhere I am or have been indoors or outdoors, even my mind is an environment for ideas to form (or fail).. What I was hoping to achieve with this final Assignment was a way of combining learning from all its separate parts and to carry forward some threads from the previous Assignments:
- Where do I position myself within contemporary photography?
- Attempting to gain an understanding of why I keep taking the same photographs and returning again and again to small areas of the outdoors – what is it's attraction for me.
- The indexicality and temporality of the photograph
- Narrative in a photograph and the difference text can make
- How does text, within, around and about a photograph affect its 'reading'
- Can a story be told within just one photograph?
- Ways of photographing the unseen, how to convey it and evoke metaphorical and visceral interpretations
- The role of Connotation and denotation, signs and symbols in photography. How to read a photograph and then, of course, how utilize these devices in composing a photograph.
- Learning from 'Putting myself in the picture' – present or absent.
- Constructing a mis-en-scene.
- The use of the "uncanny"
- Looking for an answer to the question, How can a photograph be like a "prose poem"
This is probably too large an ambition with such a long list, but I'll keep it all in mind.
Technical Preparations
I attended two Day Workshops, one on Performance Photography and the other on Studio Photography. I have written about these here and here . These gave me more confidence in dealing with light, enough that, with my husband, we bought some more lights with various accessories. I also acquired three scenic background – two landscape ones and an indoor one.
Initial thoughts
I've long had the desire to go right back to a theme begun in AOP – that of fairytales and their meanings. I have been slowly compiling some references but, at this stage, I wasn't thinking of 'fantastical' photographers like Alexia Sinclair who uses rich, gothic tones or Kirsty Mitchell with her baroque scenes. I'm interested in Paolo Ventura but his scenes/dioramas are more reminiscent of the work of Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson, although along different themes, See further information here
Alongside that I was interested in some photographers who have used a backdrop when photographing subjects in landscape. I had a more simple vision of using a scenic backdrop, something more along the lines of Lydia Panas's work but with a particular theme or Clare Strand's Gone Away portraits {2002/3), with the obvious backdrop that doesn't quite match her subject. The difference for my work would be that my scene would be wider format so it would be obvious that the backdrop is unfamiliar in the landscape as with Lydia Panas.
My vision was to re-visit "Red Riding Hood" but with a modern Red Riding Hood. I had the idea of asking one of my grand-daughters to be a model, with chosen clothing and also her choice of objects that would represent how she views herself as a modern version of Red Riding Hood. I even had ambitious thoughts along the line of then (if her portrait was successful) asking to photograph her friends, also against the backdrop, in their version of a modern Red Riding Hood.
First though I needed to see how the backdrop might work in the landscape. I had one that would be suitable for experiment, although not the right scene (another one was on order). Off I went, to the local park and up into the woodland at the top. It was quite a struggle to attach the backdrop to some trees (I realised I would need an assistant to do this properly) I turned round at one point to see I had a couple of interested lady dog walkers watching me as they walked past!
This what I ended up with after trying out various viewpoints. The backcloth needed to be higher and straighter but it looked as though it could work. I just needed to wait for the other backdrop to arrive. Unfortunately the weather became so bad, with a lot of rain during the following weeks. Even now, the local woodlands are very muddy. My idea will have to wait but I would still like to do it.
The new lighting set arrived and was set-up expectantly near to Christmas and so I moved indoors!
Indoor work
I had been continuing the reading for this part of the Module and researching photographers see here , here, here and here . I knew there was no way I could approach the large scale productions of Wall and Crewdson but the concept of the "uncanny' that I had read about in Theatres of the Real (Lowry, 2009) caught my imagination. I remembered the work I had created during Part 3 "Putting Myself in the Picture". I could do some further work in my kitchen maybe some kind of installation. I had also experimented with wearing a wig plus staging a conversation with myself At the time I couldn't actually think what the dialogue with my alter ego might be but my reading on Gregory Crewdson and his conceptual process had reinforced the slightly melancholic mood that I seem to experience around this time of year.
I was sitting on the sofa with my husband, television on, but me not really paying attention. Various thoughts were running through my head – memories competing for attention with the here and now. I wondered whether it would be possible to evoke any of those ranging thoughts through a photograph.
I said, "I have an idea. Let's try the lights". The furniture was re-organised slightly and we collaborated together on working out the placement, and the balance needed for the lights with the umbrella attachments fitted. I decided I wanted to use a more equal light similar to that of Jeff Wall rather than Gregory Crewdson, but with slightly more light on myself. I had in mind the kind of lighting for Jeff Wall's A Woman and her Doctor 1980-81 . The light at power 3on myself and 2.5 on my husband eventually worked the best. It quickly became obvious that the flashing strobes could be seen in the windows. I didn't want to have the curtains completely closed so they were half-closed to frame the Christmas tree, add some colour and hide the flash reflection as much as possible although I knew I would have to do some work in Photoshop to completely remove this. During all this time I endeavoured to split my mind so that I could retain some essence of my thoughts. Here are contact sheets with a selection as we worked through the process.
The Archive
I have already written about this here , but, to add further brief information about the process, when we moved house I had put my father's letters in a safe place but had only just found them again (after nearly eighteen months). I wondered whether it would now be possible to do a follow-on and create a series of some kind. In the first session, I was on my own during the day time . There were patches of shadow and so I used a light, on low setting, with a barn-door attachment to have directional light. This cast light onto the wall at the back of me.
A reflector on my right side, opposite the window managed to offset some of the shadow but I ended cropping what I considered the best image to get this
It had been quite difficult manoeuvring equipment around (and myself) in a fairly confined space so the next evening I used my willing assistant who was now available to help with the lighting. At first I tried focused light (with Crewdson as my influence) although the brighter the light became the more shadows occurred
A reasonable balance was then achieved, with shadow minimised, and I chose two photographs – one in shadow to use for the Collaborative Art Swap and another in more light.
Overall I had learned more about lighting from the single images around the archive but, although they had been carefully staged, I preferred the constructed scene with the tree.

First short-term noise monitoring system for airports launched
01 Nov 2016
Airport Noise Monitoring On Demand increases flexibility for investigation, compliance or planned changes
Brüel & Kjær today announced the release of Airport Noise Monitoring On Demand, a system that enables airports to temporarily - and cost-effectively - increase noise monitoring when needs arise.
This system helps airports measure before and after operational changes, investigate complaints, show compliance and credibly communicate with the community.
Airport Noise Monitoring On Demand works with the company's airport noise and operations monitoring system, ANOMS and NoiseDesk noise management. It includes everything needed for a short-term, real-time noise monitoring project. The solution comes with easily installed portable noise monitoring terminals, which includes a tripod, batteries, chargers, security cables, calibrator, mobile modem and a prepaid communications service.
Brüel & Kjær ensures the units are tested, calibrated and shipped within days of ordering. Users simply deploy the equipment and begin recording real-time sound levels.
Real or perceived airspace changes can be unsettling for the public. Airport Noise Monitoring On Demand delivers an airport's accurate data that the community trusts is reliably measuring their noise experience. The system includes a Community Noise App that builds community confidence by allowing people to watch real-time measured levels change in response to noise they hear.
"Airport Noise Monitoring On Demand lets airports respond quickly to operational changes. It's easily ordered and - when you've collected enough data - just send the unit back. There's no need to tie up airport capital on equipment that's only occasionally used," said Product Marketing Manager, Matthew Barry.
