Hope this helps?
Kind regards,Customer Support answered on 15 October 2018Would the air vent need to be behind the stove or anywhere in the room?A:Hi Annu,
Thank you for your question.
The air vent can be anywhere in the room, however if there is furniture / seating between the air vent and the stove you may notice a slight draught.
Your fitter is the best person to advise where the air vent should go as they will be able to see the room and it's layout.
Hope this helps?
Kind regards,CustomerSupport answered on 14 October 2016Hi,Would this product be suitable for a rear exit balance flue system? I have a vent on the exterior wall and would like to install a gas stove.ThanksA:Hi Spencer,
Thank you for your question.
You wouldn't need a balanced flue for the Eko Fires 6010 stove as it is a flueless model and uses a catalytic convertor to clean and purify the exhaust gases.
In order to use the Eko 6010 stove you will have to cover the vent as any draught from the vent may cause the built-in safety ODS to operate incorrectly.
I have emailed you a copy of the installation & user manual to give you a fuller picture.
Hope this helps?
Kind regards,
Customer Support answered on 18 October 2016does this work from mains gas thanksA:Hi Paul,
Thank you for your question.
Yes the Eko Fires 6010 flueless gas stove only uses natural mains gas.
If you need a stove that runs on LPG bottled gas try the Burley and Esse models on this page - https://www.directstoves.com/gas-stoves/flueless-gas-stoves.html

Mel Karmazin, CEO of Sirius XM Radio Inc., said Monday that unified satellite radio networks and receivers are still in the distant future.
Karmazin made his first public appearance in Detroit since the merger of the Sirius and XM satellite radio companies was completed in July. He was the kickoff keynote speaker at the Convergence 2008 conference, hosted by Chrysler LLC. The conference focuses on vehicle electronics and customer needs.
In a question-and-answer session, Karmazin said the merger of XM and Sirius hasn't resulted in a merger of satellite capability. Merging XM and Sirius technology and installing it in new vehicles could take as long as 15 years because of the new chips required and automakers' lead time.
But the company is offering new efficiencies for its 19 million subscribers that will distinguish one brand from another. During their rivalry in recent years, Sirius and XM signed exclusive contracts with different automakers and brands.
"Building on the success of our audio entertainment and technology infrastructure, we can bring the relationship to a strategic level by partnering with OEMs to position new-vehicle launches with differentiating Sirius XM features, such as Sirius Traffic with Chrysler, XM Traffic and real-time weather with Honda, Sirius Backseat TV with Chrysler and Sirius Travel Link with Ford," Karmazin said.
Karmazin, the former president of media giant Viacom Inc. and the former CEO of CBS Corp., focused his remarks on meeting customer wants and needs with the range of entertainment programming that Sirius XM offers.
With the value of Sirius XM stock down 75 percent since the merger, Karmazin needs the auto industry to help build new business.
"There's all kind of content out there. At the end of the day, I think that the consumer is in a great position because people are going to listen to what it is that interests them," he said.
"We are laserlike-focused on making sure that there is nobody out there that's going to come close to having the content that we do."
Karmazin, known for being a champion of shock jock Howard Stern, said satellite radio enables parents to block unwanted programming at a lower price with family-friendly packages.
Karmazin said Sirius XM will not expand into Europe and Asia. If another company wanted to use the Sirius XM model for content and delivery, he said, he hoped the company would be willing to pay cash for Sirius XM's consulting and advice.

The LA FP Staff
Gene Youngblood
From his start with us in 1967 he became – and is – an internationally-respected theorist of media and politics, and a scholar in the history and theory of alternative cinemas, he is a pioneer in the Media Democracy Movement. His best-known book, Expanded Cinema, was the first to consider video as an art form and has been credited with legitimatizing the fields of computer art and media arts.
Lawrence Lipton
He appeared in The Hypnotic Eye (1960) as "King of the Beatniks".
His book, The Holy Barbarians (1959), linked Lipton to the Beats.[1] This book is the story of the ""beat generation"". It is a far-reaching, inclusive, discerning and compelling piece of social history which does much to illuminate the milieu of the new bohemians.
Other novels include Brother, The Laugh Is Bitter and In Secret Battle, as well as a poetry book, Rainbow at Midnight.
Paul Krassner
Paul has been a good friend of ours since the early '60's – not only did we write about his exploits – i.e. as a co-founder of the YIPPIES!, a standup and a standout – but he wrote for us, too.
See more abut Paul at:
RW Klarin is the new old guy.
He's 'our' age, a Boomer, and a reader of the LA FP from way back when. He only began writing for us in 2017… that's about 50 years later than the original Staff… but he actually remembers those times! In fact, his perspective is from those times.
It was RW (Ran, to his friends…which now includes you) who brought to us the concept for our newest section – 'Remembrances'. An interesting word – "Something serving to celebrate or honor the memory of a person or event" – it perfectly describes Ran's posts.
Just as interesting is how he comes about gathering them for all of us – AND why. For more on that, Click on the link below…
Dana Cook is a native of Burlington, Vt. and a graduate of the University of Vermont. A Vietnam War resister, he moved to Toronto, Canada in 1970, where he still resides… and has probably met a number of LA Freepers over the years who landed there then for much the same reason.
He is both a journalist and editor, and has been mining autobiographies and memoirs for 25 years. His Collections of Encounters with the Famous have been published in a wide range of newspapers, magazines and journals including The Hemingway Review, The Globe and Mail (Toronto), Counterpunch, The Satirist and The W.H. Auden Society Newsletter. He was also an obituary columnist for Salon.com from 2004 to 2009 where among his subjects were Marlon Brando, Johnny Carson, Lady Bird Johnson, Norman Mailer, and Walter Cronkite. Our list of personalities is a bit different…
Philip Drucker is a recently retired attorney who began his professional life when he graduated from UCLA with a BA in Fine Art. As an adult learner, he attended night classes and earned his Juris Doctorate degree in 1999 from the University of La Verne. Then, in 2012, his growing interest in education led him to the classroom where he continues to teach Constitutional Law at the California Desert Trial Academy. Always interested in the inner working of politics, in 2014 he ran for California State Senator, 28th District. Currently, Philip is an author, guest lecturer, topical speaker and a bit of a (quite entertaining) Ranter.
He is honored to present his understanding of freedom, social justice, and the democratic party's unique philosophy and historic role in this ongoing social experiment we call America. Likewise, we are honored to have him appear regularly in the LA Free Press via his Column, TODAY'S RANT.

Songs of Uncertainty
Posted 02 October 2016 - 02:47 AM
Perhaps it was because her heart wasn't actually in playing, and that her mind was everywhere but the keys in front of her. She had actually meant to retire early tonight, after the awkward dinner with her cousins, but upon returning to her rooms she had realized there was no way she could sleep right now. So she'd changed out of her formal dinner gown into something more comfortable, found the nearest sitting room with a piano, and sat down to play. Usually, when she couldn't sleep, a few pieces worth of practice was enough to soothe her restlessness and help her relax. But tonight wasn't a usual night, and her anxiety wasn't the usual kind either.
Vivian was home. She was here, in the keep, alive. Just like Celia had always known she'd be. What she hadn't expected was what kind of homecoming this would be.
Yes, Vivian was home. But she was under guard, like some kind of criminal, barely allowed to so much as see her family, let alone speak to them. Her physical condition had been assessed by a doctor, but had anyone bothered to check her mental or emotional state? Or had they sent Lord Andrew to evaluate her likelihood of snapping and killing them all?
Meanwhile, Celia had her own frustrations to deal with. Not only had Daerra spent all dinner needling her even more than usual, but everyone in the keep was back to treating her like a small child. She had worked so hard to stand on her own two feet, and now as soon as something happened, she was back to being coddled? Ridiculous!
A discordant clang sounded angrily from the piano, snapping Celia back to reality. How worked up had she been, to go from playing one of her favorites to, well, this? The piano clanged again as she rested her elbows on the keys and buried her face in her hands. She tried to soothe herself with deep, measured breath, but it only did so much. She was too distracted by everything that had happened the last few days, and too off-balance to rein herself back in.
Maybe she should just go back to bed.
Posted 16 November 2016 - 02:33 AM
To keep his mind busy, he started burning iron as he walked, and began to practice by pulling gently on the light fixtures, door handles, and ornaments that adorned the wall. While bracing himself with a few anchors, he pulled just lightly enough to make his target quiver slightly before extinguishing his metal. As he got into a rhythm, he tried to speed things up, pulling on both anchors and his target the moment he starting burning iron.
Burn. Brace. Pull. Stop. Burn. Brace. Pull. Stop. Burn. Brace. Pull. Stop. Burn. Brace Pull...
"There's a ghost haunting Keep Elariel." Aaron stopped in his tracks, as the sound of a particularly loose door handle sparked a memory.
"Liar! There's no such things as ghosts!" Mikhail, just weeks away from his tenth birthday, spared a concerned glance for his little sister, whose eyes were wide like saucers. The little skaa girl who Daerra referred to as Claudia's shadow, gave her mistress's hand a concerned pat. Daerra had wanted Claudia to leave the thing behind, but their young cousin had insisted.
Daerra only grinned and brought the bottle of wine Aaron had stolen from the kitchens to her lips for another swig. The only light in the empty ballroom came from a few candles the children had managed to scrounge together. The stained glass windows in the ceiling were being repaired, and scaffolding and equipment loomed around them like skeletal mistwraiths.
Daerra wiped her lips delicately on a napkin and handed the bottle to Aaron. He was reasonably certain his sister didn't actually like the taste of wine, and she was just putting on a show to impress the others. For all he knew, she was probably letting the wine in her mouth fall back into the bottle after each swig to avoid swallowing the stuff. Aaron didn't much like the taste either, but felt it was his duty to drink as much as possible since he was the one who stole the thing. The foul tasting liquid made his head feel kind of dizzy, so he gave it a shake and then smiled, handing the bottle on. "Your turn Viv."
Vivian eyed the bottle skeptically, and then took a swig of her own, grimacing as she brought the bottle away from her lips. "None for you Celia, you're too little." Vivian reached past her sister to hand the bottle to Mikhail.
The heir eyed the bottle in Vivian's hand with a surprising amount of skepticism for a nine year old.
"We shouldn't be doing this. What if Odairn catches us? Father wouldn't want us drinking."
Daerra rolled her eyes. "Please, Mikhail. Uncle won't be around forever, you know. Eventually you are going to have to start making your own decisions."
"But it's supposed to be bad for children..."
Daerra snorted, "That's just a lie they tell us so we won't have too much. Aaron and I drink small amounts of alcohol all the time with our metals when we practice allomancy." As the only ones above the magic age of ten, Daerra had been using her and Aaron's status as allomancers to their advantage with the other children ever since Aaron recovered from his beating. As their father had decided to snap them early at the age of seven, they'd had several extra years to practice their new skills and impress their younger relatives. "You're going to have your snapping ceremony soon, aren't you? If you do snap, don't you think your father would want you to be prepared to drink your metals down like a man?"
Mikhail frowned, and then slowly took the bottle, sniffing the wine inside. He took a deep breath, and then took a gulp, refusing to grimace as he tasted the bitter drink. "There, I've tried it, now can we go back to bed?"
"I supposed you could, but then you would miss hearing about the ghost." Daerra's grey eyes shone with eagerness, glimmering like stars in the candle light.
"Not this again."
"Come on Mik, don't be such a stiff." Vivian grabbed the bottle and took another sip, this time managing to retain more of her composure. "I'm not too scared to listen to a ghost story."
"I'm not scared, and don't call me that. My name is Mikhail."
"Stop fighting you two, are you going to listen or not?" Aaron was always impressed with how adult like his sister managed to sound, even when addressing Mikhail and Vivian who were only one year their juniors.
Vivian stuck her tongue out at Mikhail, who sighed like an old man. "Very well, get on with it."
"Thank-you for your permission, my Lord," Daerra gave a mock bow. "Now, have any of you heard of Lydia Elariel?"
"Of course we have, she was our great-grandmother, the wife of Lord Daeron Elariel." Aaron didn't pay nearly as much attention in their house history lessons as Daerra and Mikhail did, but he nodded anyways as if he knew all along and was just agreeing with his cousin.
"Well, both her and Lord Daeron lived to be positively ancient, but Lord Daeron died first. After his death, our grandfather decided that he would be buried in a special mausoleum that Daeron had constructed below the Keep for our family. However, he also decided that these tombs should only house the bodies of true members of the family, people with Elariel blood running through their veins."
Daerra lowered her voice, obviously enjoying being the centre of attention and having everyone around her hang on her every word. "Poor great-grandmother was quite old by then, and had gone a little batty, so she wasn't given a say in the matter. And so, when she died, she was buried in a separate crypt beneath the keep, reserved for lesser family members and their spouses. Her spirit, enraged at being separated from her beloved husband, has roamed these halls ever since. She seldom shows herself, but sometimes, if you are walking the halls at night, and you are very very quiet, you can hear her rattling door knobs or knocking on windows, trying in vain to locate the love of her life."
As she neared the end of her story, Daerra subtly nudged Aaron's leg with her foot, giving him the pre-arranged signal. Focused as he was on the ghost story, and still feeling groggy from the wine, Aaron almost missed his cue, but somehow managed to burn iron and pull gently on some of the tools and scaffolding around them, making them rattle at just the right moment.
Mikhail's face paled slightly, and Celia and Claudia's skaa screamed in unison. Claudia's big blue eyes grew moist and filled with tears and Vivian burst out laughing.
Daerra smiled.
It was funny, how after all that time, a simple sound could bring the image of ten-year-old Daerra's smug grin back to him so clearly. She had been truly happy in the moment, genuinely enjoying getting a reaction out of their cousins. It wasn't often that all of them had spent time together like that, but somehow Daerra had made it happen, orchestrating the whole thing so that Aaron could use his new powers to give the other children a good fright. Better yet, then they had been a true team, co-conspirators in a grand plan to take on the world.
As if on cue, piano music began to echo through the hall. Speak of the Deepness... Only, the music seemed wrong, somehow. Aaron didn't know much about music, but he had heard Daerra enough times to recognize her distinct touch on the keys. Was she purposefully playing differently to lure him in? Perhaps he was imagining things, and she was playing normally. Desiring to avoid a confrontation, Aaron began to turn to walk away from the music, when the sound of someone slamming down on the keys made him jump.
Before he knew what he was doing, Aaron was down the hall and through the door of one of the piano rooms.
"What... Celia?" Instead of Daerra, Aaron found his cousin, Celia, with her head face down on the keys. "What's going on?"
Posted 18 November 2016 - 02:01 AM
Celia jumped, causing the piano to clang once more in protest, as she spun around on the bench to face whoever was addressing her. It was her cousin Aaron, and he looked concerned. What was he even doing up?
"What's going on?"
Celia sighed, turning away from the piano. "I was trying to play myself to sleep," she explained. "Usually, if I'm feeling anxious or upset, the music will soothe me enough that I can relax and get some rest. But tonight, everything jumbled on top of itself and, well," she forced her hand down on the keys, making another angry, out-of-tune clang, "it felt like that. And the next thing I knew, my hands were doing it too." She paused, regarding him now with her own expression of concern.
"Are you alright? It's late."
Posted 10 December 2016 - 07:37 PM
"Are you alright? It's late?"
"I'm generally a bit of a night-crawler. After a monotonously busy day, it feels nice just to be, you know?" Aaron fell silent, mulling over what Celia had said. "Daerra always said music helped her to relax as well, but I've never gotten how that works. For me to unwind, I require activities that involve a little more physical exertion."
Posted 10 December 2016 - 08:37 PM
She put her fingers to the keys again, playing one note at a time until they formed a chord.
"Music isn't just pretty sounds like a lot of people think it is," she explained. "It has feeling, emotion, of its own. Some people even say it has a soul. It's a reflection of not only how the composer was feeling when it was written, but how the performer is feeling while playing it." Another chord.
"You can celebrate personal joys," she played a few measures of one of her favorite bright and happy pieces, "or express grief and mourning." The music shifted to a requiem, sad and mournful, and then she stopped. "It's a rather expressive way to work through and process one's emotions without needing words. I found myself needing that release tonight, so here I am."

"That makes sense I suppose, though it seems like a lot of work." Lord Ruler,why couldn't he get Daerra out of his head? Had she foreseen their falling out as a possibility, and intentionally planted seeds that would remind him of the their bond wherever she could? How deep did her manipulation and control over him go, and how long had she been enveloping him in her web?
Would she ever let him escape?
"I mean, it must take a lot of skill, you know, to evoke the proper emotion when you are playing. An angry man with no skill can work out his aggression by striking a rock with a stick just as well as a master duelist, but without the talent to bring the piece to life, it seems like the struggle to play music beyond your abilities would only add to your frustration."
Aaron licked his lips. He needed to keep this conversation going somehow--anything to put off the tossing and turning that awaited him in his chambers. "So what mistwraiths are causing you so much trouble that they need release? If you don't mind me asking of course." Aaron laughed, trying to dispel some of the discomfort he felt. "I really don't mean to pry, but generally these bouts of pent up emotion have a source, don't they?"

But that didn't mean she hadn't noticed, or that the unintended implication was that far off the mark. Piano was her secondary instrument, and she practiced it far less than she practiced the cello. Perhaps her technique was inferior, whether he thought it so or not. Perhaps she could shut herself in the music room with a piano for the next week, burying herself in practice until this whole troublesome business blew over.
Of course, she wouldn't be allowed to actually do that, no matter how badly she wanted to. So instead, she played a few bars of another piece - a playful and innocent tune, simple and catchy. Lesmille's Children's March.
"Ever since that night, everyone in this keep has been treating me differently. Like I'm somehow a completely different person with different capabilities and different feelings, for all I had nothing to do with anything that happened. They're doing it to you too, aren't they? In different ways, of course. Ways that are arguably worse than what they're doing to me, but it's still infuriating."

It seems like every time I come across something in the framework documentation that says something along the lines of "this works just fine unless" my application is firmly in the "unless" category :)
There is a new security setting in 1.1 that has to do with serializing objects over remoting which is much more restrictive than the 1.0 framework was. I recompiled my app against 1.1, fixed all the compile time bugs, tracked down all the dependencies, and then the real fun began: finding the runtime bugs.
It turns out that there is a new setting on the remoting formatters that won't deserialize your object by default unless they fall into a certain category of "safe" objects. Mine apparently don't, although going over the list on gotdotnet I don't see how my objects don't fall into the category of "low". Anyway, for whatever reason they don't, so I have to prompt the remoting formatters to use "Full" deserialization. (Low vs. Full???) Then everything works hunky-dory. I wish that the list of conditions was a little more exhausitve. The only things listed as for sure causing a need for "full" support are sending an ObjRef as a parameter, implementing ISponsor, or being an object inserted in the remoting pipeline by IContributeEnvoySink. I tried this with two completely different parts of my application, neither of which meet those criteria, and still had to use "full" support. Hmmmm.

Boosted Board Battery
Charging the Board
For general safety, we do not recommend leaving your board unattended while it is charging. However, leaving the charger plugged in longer than needed to reach full charge will not harm the battery–the board automatically senses when the battery is full and stops charging.
Battery Charging Time
The standard range battery charges in just 1 hour and 15 minutes, while the extended range battery charges in 1 hour and 45 minutes. In a hurry? Every 15 minutes of charge time equates to about a mile of range on both standard and extended range models.
The 1st generation battery charges in about one hour. You can get 85% charge in only 30 minutes.
Battery Pack Chargers
The standard range battery and the extended range battery use the same charger. You can use the 1st generation charger with all standard range batteries. However, due to changes in the battery voltage, 1st generation chargers will not charge extended range battery packs.
Using Battery Pack Chargers Internationally
The 2nd generation battery pack charger has an operating range of 110-240VAC, 50/60Hz and is certified for use in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe.
Charging the Battery Pack off the Board
For 2nd generation boards, Boosted Mini, Boosted Plus, and Boosted Stealth, you can charge the battery pack while it's on or off the board. The battery pack cannot be charged off the board for 1st generation boards.

After a long offseason, Chicago White Sox baseball is officially BACK! This season figures to shape up as one of the most interesting in team history; not because current expectations are high, but because fans will finally start to see the early results of Rick Hahn's rebuilding process. 2018 will show fans what a full year of Moncada, Giolito, Lopez, Delmonico, etc. will look like, as well as the expected arrivals of top prospects Michael Kopech and Eloy Jimenez.
Although the White Sox likely won't be World Series contenders, the team is expected to take a step forward from last year, and very well may be playing meaningful games through the end of September. Time will tell how the season will end up, but before the new regular season officially kicks off, the SoxOn35th crew compiled our individual predictions for the year. Below are the averaged projection results of Brandon Anderson (b_son4), Joe Binder (@JoeBinder), Mario Conforti (@mconforti3), Nik Gaur (@Gaur_Nik), Jordan Lazowski (@jlazowski14), Stephen Little (@stephen_liit), and Jonnie Nonnie (@NonnieJonnie).

Thought for the Day
Sai Inspires
Experiences by Devotees of Sri
Sathya Sai Baba
Sai! The Embodiment of Dattatreya
A professor of philosophy learnt many works of epics from a guru
who was known as 'Gonthavali Brahma Chaithanya Maharaj'. This guru
was also an ardent devotee of Lord Dattatreya. He once told the
professor, "Dattatreya has reincarnated in Puttaparthi in human
form" and urged him to go Puttaparthi and get blessings of the
Lord. He also added that he was unable to travel that far due to
his old age and expressed his desire that atleast the professor
visits Baba. Obliging the words of his guru, the professor came to
Puttaparthi. He was blessed with a personal interview of Baba.
Even as he entered, Baba told him, "Take Padanamaskar. This is the
very seat of Lord Dattatreya". The immense joy experienced by the
professor could not be explained by mere words.

STRIKE: 180 Port Augusta Hospital nurses and midwives have suspended industrial action.Around 180 Port Augusta basednurses and midwives have suspended industrial action across SA Health and other public sector services.
Previous industrial action included social media campaigning and wearing campaign t-shirts.
They joined Nurses and Midwives across South Australia on September 30after receiving an offer from the South Australian government addressingtheir enterprise bargaining claims.
The new offer includesapay increases of 2.5% each year which will see South Australian nurses amongst the best paid in Australia.
Australian Nursing and Midwifery Federation (ANMF) SA Branch CEOElizabeth Dabars welcomed the progression.
"We are pleased the SA Government has approved an offer that appears to deal with the substantial issues raised," she said.
"As a sign of good faith, our Bargaining Committee and Executive have agreed to suspend our industrial campaign whilst we check the details of the offer and iron out any last matters."
It followsnurses and midwives at Port Augusta Hospital and Regional Health Servicestartingindustrial action on Monday September 26 after apay and conditions dispute with the state government.
Ms Dabars said the ANMF SA Branch is delighted the offer addressesall of the key issues members have been campaigning for including:
improved minimum staffing levels – particularly for aged care beds in country health services;changes to classification structures that will improve career development for enrolled nurses in particular;increased support for professional development and workforce renewal strategies which shouldhelp new graduates obtain work and allow experienced nurses and midwives to mentor them as they prepare to exit the workforce themselves;provision of additional incentives to nurses and midwives when offered separation packages;restoring paid overtime and related conditions for middle level nurses undertaking clinical activities after hours; andMs Dabars said the checking process should be completed early next week after which time the ANMF (SA Branch) Executive will make a recommendation to members on a final response to the offer.
That will be determined through a vote of all public sector nurses in the coming weeks.

The journal is indexed with and included in DOAJ, IFLP etc.
Rechtstheorie printed an Estonian edition Gesetzgebung und Rechtspolitik, which featured articles published in the framework of the international symposium Legislation and Legal Policy.
The tenth-jubilee issue of Juridica International was accompanied by the international conference European Legal Harmony: Goals and Milestones.
In 2012, Estonia celebrated the 20th anniversary of the national constitution passed on June 28, 1992. The presenting of the special edition titled 20 years of the Estonian Constitution was one of the highlights of the anniversary celebrations.
Since January 2002, our readers have had the opportunity to access the online version. According to the user statistics most of the views come from USA, Great Britain, Germany, India, the Netherlands, Canada, Italy, Australia, Belgium and France.
In summary, over the years, Juridica International has become a highly valued channel for Estonian lawyers, enabling them to take their research onto the international arena. And, furthermore, we could not be happier that our foreign colleagues are using this opportunity to publish their articles in the journal and are doing so with an increasing frequency.

My name is Michael I am 19 and live in the Berkshire town of Reading. I grew up with my brother Ben who has always had a passion for making films, he even did it for A level. I started making videos when I was about 12 and my brother let me use his Version of Adobe Premier elements, which at the time was very bewildering and I just made small home movies of holidays and things. But my real Love of the hobby hit off was when I was in the Scouts and went on one of their camps, I took a small compact camera and took loads of photos and a few videos, after I got back off the camp I decided to make it into a short movie with Windows Movie Maker. After I had finished this I showed my fellow peers it and even my leader they all enjoyed it so my hobby was born.
After that my clients just got better and better with clients like John Lewis. They got chosen to do some gardening at my Scout boathouse and I was invited so as I always do I took a video camera and a tripod and a few small compact cameras and decide to make a short video using my brothers Adobe (but getting better at it). When I was done I sent it in to the manager who overlooked the project and she loved it. Then after that I hit a time where I didn't do much productions and there wasn't much to film or make but then I discovered You Tube and that I could produce videos for the entire world to view and enjoy and thus the0bluecoconut channel was born. (Read on below how I got to where I am now)
As I have said above I started my channel from my love of movie productions but it doesn't explain how I got to be doing Minecraft or my new channel Bluecoconut Family, I am here.
When I first started the channel I didn't know much about how You Tube worked or much about Movies online, my first two videos ever put on my channel where of my holiday in America and of Typhoon lagoon and the giant wave, this was filmed as you saw it no editing and for some reason this hit off I got 5 subs and within a year 15,000 views on it I was shocked. But then it all changed when me and some friends from my school discovered Minecraft I instantly loved it and started to produce Minecraft videos for the channel so my first one I didn't have my recognizable Skotyyy Skin of the sloth, but had a skin of Seananners and in the video I blew up 2,000 blocks of TNT, it took ages to place them all carefully (remember you only had to punch one and it would blow up) and recorded it and my computer crashed 🙁
From that one video my channel blew up I started to make videos regally and did really well, my best video I have ever done was of Minecraft McDonalds which has got over 40,000 views. But I knew this channel wouldn't last forever the views were drying up and I needed a fresh start so on the 24th of December 2012 I created Bluecoconut Family channel and got all my friends who had contributed to the channel together to all post videos and the audience keeps growing
Thank you Guys 🙂

The Swedish school education in geography has developed slowly and still focuses on names of, for example, countries and capitals, rather than geographical concepts and processes. To implement the secondary and upper secondary school curricula, teachers need both broad and deep geographical knowledge. For example, teachers need knowledge of geographic information systems (GIS), which are computerised information systems for analysis and presentation of geographical data. This literature-based discussion article aims to analyse opportunities and difficulties with using GIS programs in the teacher and school education. In summary, the preconditions are good, with few technical barriers, for developing GIS-based teaching in the teacher and school education that promotes active, inquiry-based, cooperative, and problem-based learning. This would make the school education more problem-oriented and interdisciplinary so that it promotes pupils' opportunities to achieve the competencies stipulated in the curricula. Such development requires that teacher educators and school teachers get the time and resources needed to develop technological pedagogical content knowledge. However, it is probably enough for educators and teachers to get started with simpler internet- and web-based GIS and then develop their knowledge at an appropriate pace. © 2019 Routledge.
The aim of this thesis was to understand the validation of vocational knowledge prior to entry into vocational teacher education in Sweden with regard to conceptions and understandings of vocational knowledge, and also to understand how institutional conditions, such as ideas of how to organise validation, influence the content and form of the validation practice. From this aim the following research questions were developed: What ideas about the organisation of validation stand out in the policy and practice of validation? What conceptions and understandings of vocational knowledge is the organisation of validation built on and what do they entail? Who has the agency to describe and decide upon vocational knowledge in the policy and practice of validation? What institutional arrangements appear in the practice of validation?
To conduct the studies in the thesis a multimethods approach was adopted, combining policy analysis and interviews. For theoretical support, new institutional theories were used and also theories of knowledge. The results revealed that the regulative elements of validation have transformed vocational knowledge to fit a frame similar to formal education. In terms of norms and values, it appears as if validation is more of a social and economic project than one of accounting for vocational knowledge and vocational pride. Cultural/cognitive matters that are taken for granted when considering vocational knowledge differ quite significantly between agents involved in validation. Validation of vocational knowledge exhibits a conceptual confusion having different conceptions of knowledge simultaneously at play. This confusion blurs the boundaries between concepts of knowledge, learning, and the learning context. In the complexity of ideas of how to organise validation and different knowledge conceptions, institutional arrangements appear to be based on a sense of belonging, either to academia or to the trade. The agency of those with vocational knowledge is limited in several ways within validation.

Attendees reaped valuable photo tips under the guidance of award-winning CIA Instructors Joseph Goh and Lance Leong, in genres that include long exposure, stars, portrait, landscape, nature photography and more, on the island that is renowned as the home of the 'World's Happiest' marsupial – the cute Quokka. The event wrapped up with a photo contest and a premium lunch in Perth at the Crown Hotel.
Beyond sharpening photography skills and the fun of travel, attendees get to network and make new friends that will render their photographic journey henceforth more fun and engaging.
The event is non-brand specific ( yes, you don't need to own a Canon camera to participate in the event ) and based on the positive feedback, interest is already strong for the next Canon Fiesta in 2020.
