But my computer did...
after AJ quenched its thirst with an entire glass of water.
We were able to recover the hard drive, but the rest is toast, so
I am using Andy's PC (I just threw up in my mouth)
until we replace my beloved Mac.
Anyway here are my last two Insta Fridays crammed into a random late Wednesday night post.
The week before last week...right around my blog disappearance
we drove out to Kansas and Missouri for the good 'ol family reunion.
We racked up nearly 2,000 on the swagger wagon on this trip.
There was a lot of vampire novel reading, sleeping in uncomfortable positions,
and many hours of DVD watching.
I don't know how parents did road trips before portable DVD players.
I would have abandoned my children on the side of the road.
I'm just saying.
After about 10 hours on the first leg of the trip, we made it to Great Wolf Lodge in Kansas City to splash in the pool, go down many water slides, have a pizza party with Aunt Jess, Uncle JL, and V...
and have a much needed momma massage.
These are the only two pictures I have of GWL.
It was go time from sun up to sun down.
From KC we drove another 3.5 hours down to Missouri to spend the night with Grandpa Jim...
Where we played in bamboo growing in his yard, checked out his garden, and ate at my all- time favorite sub shop on the entire planet.
The following day we jumped back in the van for another hour to visit
one of the greatest people on Earth, my Aunt Glennie.
I love that woman.
We visited, ate ice cream, held her pet bird, and looked at old photographs.
After visiting with Aunt Glennie, we loaded up for the drive to Branson,
our final destination for the reunion.
We squeezed in a day at SDC before everyone arrived.
I love that my kiddos will have memories of riding Fire In The Hole and getting soaked on the water rides just like I did. Good times.
We rented two big cabins for everyone, signed up for meals, had awesome matching shirts, and lots of quality time hanging out with Grandpa Jim, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, and cousins.
One of the greatest things on Earth is seeing cousins run around and play like best friends.
We nearly filled an entire Duck Boat ourselves and quacked the whole ride.
We enjoyed a country dinner with Pepsi in mason jars, eating without silverware, and watching an incredible show. Abby and AJ drink out of their Dixie Stampede boot cups for every meal now.
We caught lightning bugs, ate snow cones, went on a nature hike, made smores...
a sleep over on the screened in back porch with our cousins.
Then we drove 13 hours straight to get back to Denver in time to drop the kiddos off
with Nana and Papa and go to the Nickelback concert.
It was awesome.
We have got to go to more concerts.
After our late night, it was back to reality.
Lots of laundry and catching up on sleep.
Then I started working on my block of the month quilt again...finally.
I walked/jogged 23.25 miles last week.
There are so many beautiful trails out here.
I got some running shoes.
I had to run on a treadmill while they video taped me.
Not intimidating at all.
We spent a morning at the park and splashing in the water with good friends.
I discovered my new favorite ice cream flavor.
Black Raspberry Chocolate
I finally made our Summer Bucket List
And we ended last week hanging out at the Museum of Nature and Science.
The fun never ends.

News Story of the Day
A priest from Cincinnati, a Philippine village, and decades of secrecy
TALUSTUSAN, Philippines — The American priest's voice echoed over the phone line. "Happy days are gone," he said in the 2018 call, recorded by a young man whose accusations would shake this little island village and reveal how allegations of sex crimes by priests are still ignored, sometimes for decades, in one of the world's most Catholic countries. "It's all over."

Injury latest from the treatment room
With Bradden Inman ruled out due to illness for tomorrow's visit of Bristol City, Steve Davis has been forced into a change from the side that won so impressively at Preston North End last weekend. Inman's absence could mean a change in formation with the likes of AJ Leitch-Smith, Max Clayton and Lee Molyneux all hoping for a recall.
The Crewe Alexandra boss may elect to alter his tactics to accommodate the change for the match at the Alexandra Stadium with Chuks Aneke perhaps used in a different way to the way he was last weekend at Deepdale.
Crewe will also be without defender Harry Davis (knee), Mathias Pogba (knee) and Ryan Colclough (groin).

A bit from the husband…
This pregnancy lark has definitely proved harder than expected. When we embarked on IVF 16 months ago, we were rather under the impression that IVF would be the difficult part. I saw pregnancy as an objective rather than the next challenge. Oh how naïve I was! Read the rest of this entry »
A bit from the husband…
A bit from the husband today:
The First Kick
On a few occasions I have tried to feel the baby moving, but nothing. At the start of the month I went to the USA for a week for work, and the night I got back I tried again. This time I felt him! It's really weird – a bit like having my hand on the duvet when the cat got under it! A funny wriggly feeling in a place that nothing should be moving. It's also lovely. It's not quite an "almost in tears" moment like the fluttering heart on the first ultrasound, but it's pretty darned exciting. I have seen him moving around on the ultrasounds, and my wife has been able to feel that daily for ages, and I've felt a bit left out.
It's heartbreaking what this pregnancy is doing to my wife. Even with the new drugs she's just not herself. She's existing rather than living, she's struggling to find joy or happiness in anything. It's really hard to watch someone I love so much going through that, partly because I feel for her and partly because I'm lonely – I miss her being herself.
I'm so proud of her for keeping herself together, and for getting back to work which is good for her even though it's a struggle. I'm proud of her for writing this blog (her posts nearly always have me tearing up), and for winning the biggest contract of her self employed career at one of the most difficult times in her life.
A bit from the husband today:
Sitting in the hospital a week ago today I saw my baby on ultrasound for the first time, and watched a tiny heartbeat. I cried with happiness and relief. I wish I could have bottled that feeling!
The husband had some more things to say today…
Being in the "2 week wait" is always a bit of a limbo. There's nothing more to do – we just have to wait for the pregnancy test.
I'm coping with this one less well than the last two times.
So very conveniently my monthly infertility counselling session coincided with my embryo transfer day. That's handy, just one trip required. And even better, the husband was free today so he decided to chum me to the embryo transfer – and go early and work on his laptop in the hospital coffee shop so that he could give me a lift.
A bit from the husband today…
"I haven't written anything for BabyMaybe for a while. My wife is so eloquent, and so thorough, it doesn't leave me a lot to say. There are some things though that I should try to share.
A few of my friends got a hole in one with their babies – they conceived first go, or within a small handful of months.
It's a weird thought, in terms of elapsed time the changes that have happened in their lives compared to ours.
For us, after nearly four years we're still waiting.
"Offer IVF treatment to women with unexplained infertility who have not conceived after 2 years." (NICE Guidelines, Assessment and treatment for people with fertility problems)
"Couples who experience problems in conceiving should be seen together because both partners are affected by decisions surrounding investigation and treatment." (NICE Guidelines, Assessment and treatment for people with fertility problems)
I wrote a bit the other day about how our IVF clinic presents what they do as female-centric and functional, and how the husband and I have absorbed that. I've been going to the appointments and so on without the husband for the most part, and this seems to be the norm at our clinic.
Something I forgot to say is that I didn't bring the husband along to the frozen embryo transfer. He didn't come the first time either. He was welcome, and the nurse had put scrubs out for him, but neither of us was that bothered either way about him coming.
Does that sound cold?

CC Madhya 7.127
gṛhe rahi' kṛṣṇa-nāma nirantara laibā
Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu replied, "Don't speak like that again. Better to remain at home and chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa always.
It is not advisable in this Age of Kali to leave one's family suddenly, for people are not trained as proper brahmacārīs and gṛhasthas. Therefore Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu advised the brāhmaṇa not to be too eager to give up family life. It would be better to remain with his family and try to become purified by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra regularly under the direction of a spiritual master. This is the instruction of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. If this principle is followed by everyone, there is no need to accept sannyāsa. In the next verse Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu advises everyone to become an ideal householder by offenselessly chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and teaching the same principle to everyone he meets.

I've been reviewing guitar and piano classes for quite sometime now and also have discovered there are a lots of learning sites for guitar. However I am sad to determine there are only a number of for Piano and Violin. I'm not sure why. Might be guitar is much more searched for after compared to other two. This is exactly why I figured of presenting you to definitely a few of the popular piano courses which i located on the internet for you personally.
Rocket Piano
Learn and Master Piano
Rocket Piano is very comprehensive, affordable and is most effective for novices, intermediate and advanced level players. While PianoForAll will educate you Piano inside a shorter time, although not highly in-depth. But excellent for novices and intermediate level players who wish to perform on stage rapidly. So if you're searching for any piano course that may help you in creating a strong foundation includes a steady but very slow progression for an advanced level, then Learn and Master Piano is nice.
Rocket Piano
Rocket Piano was created by Ruth Searle who's an experienced classical pianist, that has been playing, teaching and performing for more than twenty years now. This program includes 3 e-books for various abilities, beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. This program may also supply you with a huge database of videos and audio training to create your learning simple and easy , smooth. Rocket Piano is assist you to learn various fingering techniques as well as teach you to internalize guitar chords and scales completely that is a useful gizmo like a music performer over time. Additionally, you will learn how to play by hearing.
Learn and Master Piano
Learn and Master Piano comes from Legacy Learning Systems and it is created by Grammy Award Champion Pianist Will Barrow. Learn and Master Piano includes 14 Full-length DVDs, where in every single lesson is described at length using the aide of audio/visual aid and constitutes the rear-bone of the course. Other learning material includes 5 Play Along CDs, 100 Pages Book containing all of the exercises and songs in individuals 14 DVDs. The primary benefit of this program is that you may have use of an active and useful online forum provided solely for his or her students where one can talk to other people as well as discuss obvious your doubts.
PianoForAll includes a bit unconventional approach towards piano learning was created by Pianist and Tutor Robin Hall whose piano learning product is quite innovative and it has attempted to bypass the traditional extended learning process. Within this course you'll be learning different guitar chords, techniques, playing styles and progressions relating to numerous popular musical genres like Blues, Jazz, Ballad Styles, Classical as well as speed playing and lots of other contemporary styles. PianoForAll is made for individuals, who wish to rapidly discover the basics after which immediately jump into learning guitar chords and progressions of numerous styles and genres like Blues, Ballad and Jazz and wish to perform before an audience. For your same reason I wouldn't recommend this program for individuals who're searching to have an in-depth piano course. However it has covered the majority of the fundamental fundamentals and I would suggest this program for novices and intermediate level players.
Are you searching for the right platform for your piano learning needs? The piano singapore website should be able to handle your specific needs in the best manner possible. They would offer you the best platform to meet piano teachers, distributors and more.

This November 18th saw the return of Tamper Tantrum to Barista Guild of Europe's CoLab seminar series, this time hosted in the beautiful city of Paris with the support of FrogFight. Each CoLab program is built around a program of compelling educational content (that's us!) sandwiched in between two half days on either side to discover the host city's coffee community and culture. This year's second event, like CoLab: Prague, featured the six speakers below, Q&A, and panel discussions.
About Barista Guild of Europe: Formed in 2014, Barista Guild of Europe (BGE) is led by a working group of SCAE dedicated to developing the role of the barista within Europe. Its primary goal is to foster community and professionalism among people whose income derives from making cups of specialty-grade coffee. For more information on BGE, their mission, or upcoming events, please visit www.baristaguidofeurope.com.
About FrogFight: Tamper Tantrum has been no stranger to the community building Frog Fight has accomplished in Paris: ever since their first Frog Fight throw-down was held at Café Lomi, organised by Thomas Lehoux and David Flynn, it's been a name synonymous with building a community and improving specialty coffee in a city that previously had little to offer those seeking a 3rd wave experience.
Today, Paris is full of specialty coffee shops: a testament to Frogfight's influence in developing the Paris scene. We were very honoured that they were so excited, from the very beginning, to work with us as a way to revive FrogFight from its brief hibernation these past two years. Made up of baristas and roasteries around Paris, FrogFight is a shining example of what can be accomplished when community comes together.
For this particular event, three of Frog Fight's roastery members—Belleville Brûlierie, Coutume, and Café Lomi—are behind the local know-how, on-the-ground organisation, and venues of CoLab: Paris.
Belleville Brulerie – Paris
Of all the FrogFight members, we know Belleville Brûlerie the best: one of the four folks behind the Parisian roaster, David Flynn, was a speaker at our first ever international Tamper Tantrum back in 2012. Titled "Jus de Chausette", David spoke about his philosophy that specialty coffee would be best introduced and shared, particularly within a well-established café culture based on espresso, as filter coffee, or "sock juice"—a concept that is still referenced in Belleville's "à propos" today!
David and Thomas, the organisers behind the first-ever Frog Fight, have been our men on the ground for this week's event in Paris. We'd like to thank them—profusely—for their patience with our question-filled emails as we worked out the logistics for Wednesday's Tamper Tantrum.
Coutume Instituutti
Coutume was first founded as a coffee roaster in 2011 by Antoine Nétien and Tom Clark, but has since grown to encompass five specialty coffee shops worldwide: two in Paris (Babylone and Instituutti), two in Tokyo (Futakotamagawa and Aoyama) and one in Osaka (Osaka).
Coutume have been essential to this week's event: they, with the support of the Finnish Institute are closing their Insituutti shop on Wednesday, Nov 18 in order to provide BGE and Frog Fight with a place to welcome attendees from across Europe. They'll also be hosting a cupping on Thursday morning (10:00-12:00), featuring twelve Yemeni coffees showcased by Mokhtar Alkhanshali.
Coutume Instituutti is a beautiful venue, eminently suited to the kind of lectures, discussion, and community-building that will be taking place this weekend—thank you to Antoine, Tom, and the Coutume team for hosting us in such a beautiful venue!
Café lomi
The first-ever FrogFight was held in Café Lomi's small space in the 17th, back when it was just Aleaume Paturle and Paul Arnephy. Today, Café Lomi now calls 3 Ter Rue Marcadet in the 18th home, keeping their roastery, coffee school, retail shop, and coffee shop all under one beautifully turned-out roof.
This very space will be host to one of the cuppings taking place on Thursday morning. Thank you to the team at Café Lomi for offering up some of their beautiful space to host a CoLab: Cupping!
Produced by: Tamper Tantrum
Host Partner: Barista Guild of Europe, Frog Fight
Where: Coutume Instituutti
Who: Stephen Leighton, Tim Wendelboe, Morten Munchow, Stephen Cataldi, Katie Cargiulo, Patrik Rolf Karlsson, Klaus Thomsen

A divine conclusion to purusottama-masa . . . In the evening, Giridhari Swami led a wonderful kirtana, which had the packed temple room — over forty devotees — dancing in ecstasy. Then he showed slides and spoke about his and other devotees' inspiring activities and projects in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and Philippines. Giriraj Swami honored Rose Forkash, "ISKCON's Mother," who began and developed the Friends Of Lord Krishna (FOLK) outreach program with Srila Prabhupada's personal blessings and direct guidance — it happened to be her ninety-second birthday — and she also spoke. Giriraj Swami led Sri Jagannathastaka for the last time in the month, and eight-year-old Lalita, daughter of Gauranga Prema and Janaki from Arcadia, recited the fifteenth chapter of the Bhagavad-gita, on purusottama-yoga, by heart.
Giriraj Swami's prayer on the occasion: "May Sri Purusottama, the Supreme Person, the Lord of the universe, cast His merciful glance upon us and bless us all with His divine loving service."

Whether you are having a bad day or just want to relax, there's no better solution than retail therapy. Of course, thanks to the surge in online stores, shopping has become even easier – you don't have to step out of the comfort of your home. Still, there are some people who feel like they can't quite bridge this gap between the virtual and the real-world experience. As such, they are unable to truly enjoy their shopping experience. If you identify with these individuals but still want to escape into some online retail therapy, these are all of the things that you can try:
Create a Shopping Plan
The great thing about shopping sites is that you have access to so many different kinds of clothes. However, this can also be the downside of this kind of shopping. When you have too much of choice you can either end up buying a lot more than you needed to or feel burned out rather quickly. The good news is that there is an easy way to avoid this – create a shopping plan for yourself. Now, if you don't have a very clear idea of what you want, then you may not be able to add too much detail to your plan. Nevertheless, you should at least narrow down what kind of clothing you want to buy so you can organise yourself better.
Go Straight for Gold
The other tactic that you should try is to have at least one favourite ladies fashion online boutique in Australia singled out. See, the thing is that although there is an innumerable number of virtual clothing stores to choose from, few actually live up to the hype. So, to avoid wasting your time and money, figure out what stores are actually worth your investment. Then, head to these first whenever you are on a fashion mission. Since you are more likely to find what you are looking for here, you will be able to finish up your shopping rather quickly.
Measure Twice, Buy Once
One of the trickier aspects of looking for clothes on a website, of course, is the fit. Since you can't touch or wear the clothes, it can be a bit difficult to know how well it will fit you. In these instances, you will find that it is best to ignore sizes such as small, medium, large, etc. Rather, focus on the dimensions provided to you by the store or manufacturer. These numbers will give you a clearer idea of whether or not a particular item will fit. Remember to also focus on the length to understand how short or long something will be for you.
Know Your Style
When you are faced with so much of choice, it can be easy to start making some rather wild style choices. At the end of the day, though, you should only buy things that you will actually wear. So, when selecting certain pieces check that they are in line with your style identity. While there is no harm in being bold every now and then, only get things that suit you.
As you can see, shopping on a computer can be just as fun as doing it in real life. All you have to do is follow these tips and see for yourself!

In two weeks, the HBO series ''Sex and the City'' will become part of television's past, and with it will go a certain fantasy of what it means to get dressed in New York. The fantasy had little do with the clothes actually worn in the show, which often must have seemed as ludicrous to viewers on West 94th Street as they did to those in Tallahassee. For every time Carrie Bradshaw hailed a taxi in a perfect Oscar de la Renta cocktail dress, there were occasions on which she left home looking like a World War I nurse or an inverted potted plant or a lamentable collision between Fidel Castro and the Hindu goddess Lakshmi.
But she tried, with love and credit cards, and so did her three best friends, in a city where trying, sartorially speaking, is not much demanded. You don't have to look whimsical to eat a hamburger in Greenwich Village or put on a full-length satin skirt for your very first dinner at your new boyfriend's apartment, but what would happen if you did? The fashion in ''Sex and the City'' rooted the show in a sense of optimism about romance at near middle age, but more than that, it paid homage to New York as a city rife with quotidian pleasures. Every time one of the show's heroines went out in something breathtakingly pretty, recherché or both, she seemed to be honoring her good fortune in living here.
It is just that spirit that should animate New York designers, both fledgling and established, and yet it so infrequently does. Yesterday morning, Michael Vollbracht showed his second collection for Bill Blass, a label once synonymous with the joys of Manhattan but now resonating with a mood of somewhere very far away. Mr. Vollbracht interprets New York through the eyes of someone who comes to visit, bringing with him preconceived notions of the city as a sort of Las Vegas East. Mr. Blass delivered highflying clothes but always with corrective doses of sobriety that inoculated them against accusations of glitziness. Yesterday, Mr. Vollbracht delivered leopard prints on a dancing Pat Cleveland and brocade, not in a solo performance, but accompanied by fox trim. A black lace dress was forced to bear the weight, soap-opera heavy, of an ostrich feather stole.
Like Mr. Vollbracht, Douglas Hannant dresses social figures, though in a way that seems to pander to the worst stereotypes of the terribly well-to-do. The clothes drip with the vast expense of their own creation. Beaded pants come with beaded coats and, again, ostrich feathers. Fur (specifically lipicat -- what is that?), napa leather and tulle were commingled in single look. Here was the image of a woman who did little but spend her money -- or someone's.
There was a lifelessness also in the clothes that Badgley Mischka showed on Monday. A study in cold silvery gray and blue, the clothes were endlessly bejeweled, but how was anyone to have a moment's fun in them? Again, the point in wearing the dresses was to show the world that you could afford to buy them.
Donna Karan's show for DKNY did pay tribute to New York in the form of a backdrop depicting a dusky Central Park. Ms. Karan's heart was in the right place in that she was trying to cater to the way real young women dress, mixing heavy tights with flimsy handkerchief skirts, throwing shearling over something in silk or satin. Sometimes her colors were off, as in an acid-green evening dress, and things seemed too much a hodgepodge, but no one on the runway looked as if she was aiming to work for or marry Donald Trump.
Luella Bartley's clothes yesterday betrayed an unusual cheerfulness. Her sensibility is a girlish one, yet she keeps from getting cute. She showed slim jeans and pretty, above-the-knee dresses that could trace their lineage, but not egregiously so, to Ossie Clark. Wingtips were a pleasure to see.
Lunchtime yesterday marked the runway debut of Cindy Greene and Johnson Hartig, who have attracted the attention of Barneys and Mick Jagger with a line called Libertine. When Ms. Greene is not designing clothes -- plaids printed with maple leafs, short skirts with unfinished hems, jackets with dangling neckties -- she is part of the aggressively pretentious art-world band Fischerspooner. The team's clothes are not all that original in their sense of the alternative -- cropped pants and argyle socks with silver stilettos (very Carrie Bradshaw) -- but their devotion to quirkiness seemed exactly what has been missing from the New York shows so far. The finale? Bagpipes.

The film opens with a sequence of shots showing empty rooms within a house - particular objects are given prominence; the first of these rooms being the bathroom, living room and finally bedroom, where the camera zooms to an alarm-clock seconds before it goes off. The protagonist proceeds to wake up and move through the house - each of his movements and actions clearly shown in close-ups on his hands (which both begin and end the film). Once the alarm-clock stops a soundtrack begins to fade in and proceeds to accompany a montage of actions made by the protagonist i.e. getting dressed, making a meal - all of which will involve a number of rituals for example over obssessivley turning light switches on and off multiple times. At around the half way stage the protagonist will exit the house and the screen will fade to black with the soundtrack also proceeding to fade into silence.
The film then continues with the re-entering of the protagonist into the setting where he is suddenly confronted with the seemingly painless task of taking out the rubbish but this instead leads to a shocking climax where once performing the task the protagonist proceeds to wash his hand with obsessive amounts of soap and hot water which leads to his hands getting burnt to the point of needing bandage treatment.
the signifigance and drama in this scene is highlighted equally by a series of dramatic shots - some of which may be shown in black and white or different frame rate etc.
The final sequence begins as the film ends with a sequence of shots showing empty rooms within the house, the first of these rooms being the bathroom, living room and finally bedroom, where the camera zooms to an alarm-clock seconds before it goes off.
The protagonist then also proceeds go through the many strange habits of his condition with the re-entering of the original soundtrack at the point that it last cut off; though this gives the impression that nothing has changed, the real resolution comes from when the protagonist leaves the house and instead decides to leave the light switch on as he leaves the house.
The camera then fades into darkness with the continuation of the soundtrack but at a louder volume.
Media studies 2011/12
This blog has been set up for the 2011/12 AS course; i will be posting my preliminary task and other examples of my work for general use.

Short Film concept (June 2012)
Straight from when the specification for this project was given i already had a vague idea of what kind of film i wanted to make, i learnt a number of important lessons about the film-making process through the mistakes i made last year, and overall i would say i have taken a very conservative approach to this task in comparison with that of a past project when i had a huge lack of experience. i have not yet gone into specifics in regards to dialogue or other detailed aspects of the film as those have to be deliberated with my project partner, however i do know what genre and story arch i want the film to follow. In this film we essentialy follow the daily and strange routine of a teenager who suffers from OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), a disease which manifests itself in a number of unusual and shocking ways. My goal is to show some sort of insight into the life of an individual with a real condition that can not only evoke sympathy and fear from the viewer, but also be truly absorbing. Through my research of this topic I have come up with many possible sequences to take place in this film - the majority of which will be in story-board format initially.
Inspection - Short Film Evaluation
'Inspection' is one of literally dozens of short films I have viewed over the past week, however this is the first one that I decided to evaluate as it includes many of the elements I wish to incorporate in my own Short film.
Firstly the film containes a wide variety of both shot and camera techniques - with little use of film or sound editing involved; these directorial choices immediately interested me as I also had the desire to create a Film that was minimalist but at the same time with a very defined and solid concept.
The film also runs with next to no dialogue in the lead up to a dramatic and quirky conclusion that uses both elements of shock and humour to great effect.
Some complaints I have about the film include the use of a vast location that I may struggle to acquire for my own project as well as an overall very high quality camera that I may also have trouble providing.
This film also includes no running soundtrack - musical or otherwise after the title has appeared, this is a very effective decision in this case as there is no straying from the action as well as making the climax even more unexpected.
Overall this is a very proficient short film that I will likely take much inspiration from in order to enhance or improve my own in the future.
A2 Media Course - 2012/13
In this preliminary term of next years A2 courses, we have started media studies by being asigned the task of creating a short film in any genre/medium etc. with the minimal requirement that it be less than 2 minutes. This task resembles many projects we have been given in the previous AS media course as well as providing a basic guideline on what media projects we will be given in the coming year - if We have aspirations of continuing this course after september. In a slight alteration to last years work, we have been put into random pairs for the duration of this task however I've been placed with James Turner - a student who I already have media project experience with from last year. For this task I will research 'short film' with a priority towards English-speaking, live action films that are between 3 and 8 minutes in duration; the film production will also include story-boarding and a full evaluation of the film concept and other aspects of development.

Snap out of West Side Story. Ditch Gone with the Wind. And don't even think about playing Casablanca. They're already on hundreds of lists. Why rehash the obvious? It's boring. So without further ado:
1. Lilies of the Field (1963) Based on the novel by William Edmund Barrett, the film follows the story of a wandering jack-of-all trades (Sidney Poitier) who comes across a group of German nuns convinced he's been sent by God to build them a church. I love this film.
2. My Man Godfrey (1936). A ditzy socialite (Carole Lombard) hires a hobo living in the dump as the family's butler, then promptly falls in love with him. Whether he returns the affections is more doubtful, especially considering the utterly irrational in-laws he would be stuck with …
3. Bringing Up Baby (1938) A prim paleontologist (Cary Grant) wants a sponsor to donate one million dollars to his museum, but messes it all up after getting mixed up with a harebrained woman and her leopard. My first screwball favorite.
4. Rebecca (1940). Joan Fontaine plays a young, naïve bride tortured by the lingering presence of her husband's deceased first wife. And also by the super creepy Mrs. Danvers.
5. To Have and Have Not (1944) This was Bogart and Bacall's first film, and smolders with chemistry. Bogart rents a charter boat to tourists in Martinique and is asked to smuggle out resistance fighters. He refuses, but then has a fateful encounter with a pickpocket. Bacall was 19 (19!) when she filmed this.
6. It (1927) Clara Bow has definitely got "it" in this silent film. She plays a strong, independent working female set on getting what she wants … one of which happens to be the company's head honcho.
7. Interrupted Melody (1955). This film is based on the life of Australian opera singer Marjorie Lawrence, who was struck by polio at the height of her career. It has fantastic famous opera scenes and stars the talented and gorgeous Eleanor Parker (the evil baroness from The Sound of Music).
8. And Then There Were None (1943) Psychological thriller based on Agatha Christie's mystery. Ten guests are invited to a house on a lonely island and are killed off one by one. It's creepy and suspenseful.
9. Carefree (1938) What list is complete without a film starring the iconic Astaire/Rogers duo? This one involves a psychologist, hypnosis, and skeet shooting gone hilariously awry. (Shall We Dance is another good film, and features the catchy "potato, patahto" song.)
10. Gentleman's Agreement (1947). Gregory Peck plays a journalist who decides to experience anti-Semitism firsthand by saying he's Jewish for two weeks. It's thought-provoking and gives a revealing look at anti-Semitic sentiment during the 40s.
11. Seven Chances (1925). Critics and hardcore classic film buffs rave about The General, but do you ever hear much about Keaton's Seven Chances? It's got great visuals, obvious when the hero runs down a canyon in the midst of rocks that look like giant meatballs. Plus he gets chased by an angry horde of wannabe brides.
12. Naughty Marietta (1935) Another film for the opera fan, starring Jeannette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. MacDonald plays a French princess who runs away to New Orleans to avoid marrying a stuffy old Spaniard. There's a great scene with singing marionettes (they're cute, really).

It's no secret that the obesity epidemic is a serious problem. About 93.3 million US adults1 are obese, and obesity is the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States. In fact, an estimated 300,000 deaths per year are due to obesity2. In California alone, 15 percent of 10-to-17-year-olds, and 25 percent of adults are overweight or obese. The health and lost-productivity cost of obesity for all ages in California is $21 billion a year.
In the Orange County and High Desert regions of Southern California, obesity has been linked with poverty3 – those cities with the highest levels of overweight residents tend to be those with the highest rates of poverty. This is because low-income neighborhoods often lack safe places to exercise and retail outlets with affordable, healthy foods.
In an effort to promote Health for a Better World, Providence St. Joseph Health (PSJH) is concentrating on programs that can combat the negative effects of certain social factors, like those associated with obesity. For instance, through programs supported by PSJH community benefit investments, residents in Southern California's Orange County and High Desert regions are being empowered to teach Zumba®, cook healthy on a budget, and advocate for community changes that will encourage all residents to live healthier lifestyles.
In Adelanto, you can find local residents enjoying free Zumba® and other fitness classes, led by other residents, at the Unity Center five days a week. Similarly, residents in Victorville, Apple Valley and Hesperia are also teaching free fitness classes in the community. In fact, in 2018, 432 residents from these communities logged 5,833 physical activity hours through free fitness classes led by local residents.
This type of engagement is impressive for any community, but in the High Desert region, which has a large concentration of low-income neighborhoods that tend to have poor access to healthy, affordable food and safe places for physical activity, it's a sign of needed change. With 37 percent of High Desert adults being obese – a percentage that is 10 points higher than the state average – the members of this community are at risk of developing a variety of related health issues.
However, through a grant from the San Bernardino Department of Public Health, partnership from the Community Health Action Network and community benefit support from St. Mary Medical Center, High Desert residents have been empowered to promote physical activity in their neighborhoods. This Communities of Excellence program includes helping local residents become certified physical fitness trainers, sponsoring weight loss challenges, conducting nutrition education programs, and teaching Spanish-speaking residents to advocate at the city level for policies that support a healthy lifestyle.
For instance, many residents in Adelanto can't afford a gym membership or transportation. In 2015, the Communities of Excellence program enabled local residents to teach free fitness classes in a city park. However, due to the large temperature fluctuations in this region – the low 30s in the winter and above 100 in the summer – outdoor venues were only practical for a few months out of the year. So, through this program, St. Mary's caregivers taught Spanish-speaking residents the basic processes of local government and how to write and deliver speeches. As a result, approximately 60 Adelanto residents went to months of city council meetings to advocate for a safe, indoor exercise space. Thanks to their efforts, they were able to secure a seven year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) from the city, which ensures they have a consistent place to exercise, free of charge. Similar efforts have resulted in the designation of indoor exercise spaces in Victorville, Apple Valley and Hesperia.
"Initiatives like the Communities of Excellence program are vital to improving the social factors that often result in chronic conditions like obesity," said Kevin Mahany, St. Mary Community Health Investment Director. "We aren't just providing resources; we are teaching residents to fish, so to speak. By encouraging them to obtain fitness instructor certifications and teaching them how to advocate for the changes they need in their community, we are enabling them to reverse the social determinant factors that are negatively impacting community health."
Programs that address the social factors associated with health are a priority for all members of the Providence St. Joseph Health family. In 2018, PSJH provided a community benefit investment of $285,345 to the Communities of Excellence program at St. Mary Medical Center.
Another way PSJH is helping to combat the problems associated with obesity is with the Move More, Eat Healthy (MMEH) program sponsored by St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, California. In 2018 alone, this program engaged 25,337 participants at events such as health fairs, clinics in the park, 5K runs, and nutrition and physical activity classes. It also had 5,812 resident encounters in 195 healthy lifestyle classes, which taught skills such as cooking healthy meals on a budget, making healthy snacks and engaging in physical activity using local resources, such as parks and bike paths. The program also funded 13 outdoor fitness centers to provide residents of low income neighborhoods a safe place to exercise.
In addition, during 2018, an exciting new initiative was added to St. Jude's MMEH program: a Resident Leadership Academy (RLA). The RLA is a specialized course that empowers local residents by providing them with the knowledge, tools, strategies and commitment to make healthy environment and policy changes at the community level.
The results of this new program have been outstanding. In La Habra, RLA participants conducted a needs assessment with local residents and are completing plans for a local Farmers Market based on the results. In addition, along with Our Lady of Guadalupe, the La Habra Collaborative, and the Orange County Food Bank, the La Habra RLA members created a mobile Pop-up Pantry to distribute free fruits and vegetables at all city events. Recently, this partnership implemented a Senior Park-It Market to better meet the needs of seniors who are food insecure.
Buena Park RLA graduates helped create a more walkable community through the addition of crosswalks, stop signs, and no parking zones in the streets and intersections along Franklin Avenue.
In Placentia, the RLA advocated for park renovations at Jaycee Parkette. As a result, the entire park received a fresh coat of paint to cover up graffiti, making the park a cleaner, more pleasant place for residents to exercise.
Finally, the Fullerton RLA helped develop a video to market the goals and purpose of the Resident Leadership Academies. This video highlighted the positive impact these residents have on their community.
"The graduates of the RLA are true catalysts for change – they are motivated and empowered to provide needed leadership and spread important knowledge in their communities," said Tracy Bryars, RD, MPH, Manager, Healthy Communities. "The RLA program has bridged a gap between providing services to the community and ensuring that we're creating sustainable change that will create healthier communities."
Recently, the program was expanded to include four Youth Leadership Academies to engage the future generation of leaders in advocating for healthy lifestyles.
In 2018, through a total community benefit investment of $638,560, the St. Jude MMEH program was able to effect policy, system and environmental changes that will help prevent and reduce obesity in the low income neighborhoods of North Orange County.
A video on MMEH and its partnership with a local school can be seen here:

18 September, 2017 – On August 25, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Rockport, Texas – a town of less than 10,000 people. With sustained winds around 130 mph, Harvey's category 4 hurricane rating quickly destroyed the homes and buildings in its path. It's merciless destruction and increasing water levels displaced families and left people flocking to shelters for aid. Even now, people are still assessing damage and trying to pick of the pieces of what is left.
The Skin Research Institute decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from their recent Labor Day sale to help the victims of this tragedy in Texas. Priding themselves on being more than just a business – one that cares for the well-being and overall health of their customers – it just seemed like the right thing to do.
John Bishop, the head of the customer service department at The Skin Research Institute, recently discussed this decision: "I think we all had the same idea, instantaneously. We wanted to help in any way possible and donating a portion of our sales seemed like the best way to ensure that people in Texas were getting the help they needed. We aren't the only business to have done this, and hopefully many more will reach out in this way."
As people continue to assess damage and begin to rebuild their lives, The Skin Research Institute hopes that their efforts will help make the process a bit easier. "Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Texas during this difficult time," explains Bishop. "It's times like this that shine a light on what truly matters."

* Taiwan's Pegatron making CDMA iPhones - source
* Shipments to begin from 2011 - source
* Phones meant for sale by Verizon - WSJ
* Verizon and Apple shares rally, AT&T's fall (Adds detail on Pegatron involvement, changes dateline)
HONG KONG/SAN FRANCISCO, March 30 (Reuters) - A subsidiary of Taiwan netbook PC pioneer Asustek (2357.TW) has won orders to manufacture Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhone to run on the CDMA standard, a source said on Tuesday.
Apple is said to be developing a CDMA-compatible iPhone that would work on leading U.S. mobile carrier Verizon Communications Inc's (VZ.N) network, the Wall Street Journal had reported earlier, citing people familiar with the matter.
The Taiwan firm, Pegatron, will begin shipping the phones from next year, said the source close to Pegatron, who declined to be named as the plans were not yet public. The source could not confirm if the products would be for Verizon's network.
"Pegatron's been manufacturing on behalf of Apple for a while now," said the source, noting Pegatron products include the iPod Shuffle music player.
Pegatron declined to comment.
Shares in Asustek rose 0.4 percent on Tuesday in a broader Taiwan market .TWII up 0.2 percent. Asustek has said it will spin off Pegatron in June, with the unit expected to list around then.
Verizon shares had jumped 3.4 percent in after-hours trade, while AT&T Inc (T.N), the current exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the United States, fell 2.2 percent.
An Apple spokeswoman said the company does not comment on speculation. Verizon also declined to comment.
Apple has released a new iPhone model every summer for the past three years and is widely expected to do so this summer.
But a CDMA-compatible iPhone may come later in the year, the Journal report suggested.
Asked about the report, an AT&T spokesman said: "We have a great relationship with Apple and we don't comment on the specifics of that relationship." AT&T repeated previous comments that the iPhone "will be an important device for us for quite some time."
Broadpoint Amtech analyst Brian Marshall said it was "only a matter of time" before the iPhone landed with Verizon.
He said Verizon has a better network than AT&T and a larger customer base. Marshall expects a Verizon iPhone to happen early in 2011. Verizon has roughly 6 million more wireless customers than AT&T.
Rumors have swirled for some time about Apple launching an iPhone with Verizon. AT&T has been the sole U.S. carrier since the iPhone's debut in 2007 and some iPhone users have complained about the quality of the AT&T network.
"AT&T has known all along that its exclusive relationship with Apple would change into something else some day. From the beginning of its relationship with Apple, AT&T has factored this change into its business and technology planning," a person familiar with AT&T said.
Verizon shares rose to $31.50 from a close of $30.45, while AT&T shares slipped to $25.97 from a close of $26.51. Apple stock rose 2.3 percent to $237.65 in extended trading from a close of $232.39.

How to Introduce Technology that Increases Sales without Losing the Human Touch
During the Systems in the City conference in March 2017, Richard Peers, Senior Director Financial Services Industry at Microsoft, suggested that by 2020 85% of all customer contacts will be automated. As more and more services become automated, clients expect to have an answer to their queries within an hour after submission, so having an AI bot answering calls or contacting a client may seem like the best possible solution. At the same time, however, clients want to have the most effective and accurate answer.
While most companies are trying to automate as many of their processes as possible to reduce cost and scale quicker, some companies emphasize the importance of human touch. Companies that want to create brand loyalty or provide their clients with a positive interaction should consider keeping human contact in order to sustain their business image.
In a recent survey, a third of customers claimed that they would move their business elsewhere if they had a negative experience. AI may render your processes quicker but it could be obstructed at times when complicated tasks that ensure your client is getting the most accurate, personalized and specific response have to be performed.
That being said, we should and can definitely use technology that is in our favor to improve the performance of employees, expedite the contact process that results in a dramatic increase of company ROI, employee wellness and reduction of employee churn.
This is even more crucial when it comes to employees focused on the early stages of the customer journey where the churn is really high (between 35% and 45%). Squaretalk has done a lot towards the creation of a productive environment in which the employee is given the best tools to optimize sales and marketing situations. We are currently developing more capabilities that detect, analyze and predict sales and marketing situations in order to guide your employee on how best to conduct a conversation, keep track of their success rates, and increase employee motivation.
Our software is 100% personal, which means we are able to give the right guidance to any specific employee on what works best for them, this is a huge asset in helping companies retain employees as it provides them with a sense of personalized fulfillment.

Apple Determines Which Carriers Get To Use LTE On iOS Devices And Which Do Not
November 30, 2012
The last time we checked, Apple isn't (yet) a wireless carrier. However, they still have a huge influence over the companies that are, according to TNW. Swiss operator Swisscom recently confirmed that Apple performs tests on each carriers' LTE network. These are done to determine whether to enable 4G services on iOS devices for customers of that company. As a Swisscom spokesperson contends,the company "only enables 4G access after testing their device on an operator's live network." The end result is that without Apple's approval, a company cannot offer 4G services on iPhones and iPads – even if they can or do on other devices. However, before one suggests that Apple "picks and chooses the countries and the carriers" they support, know:
This is true, to a point, but the components and chips that it uses are largely set up to support the most popular LTE frequencies, which are often used by world's biggest carriers.This brings us to T-Mobile, which is the only major carrier in the U.S. that doesn't carry the iPhone. As we reported earlier this week, it looks like the fourth-largest wireless carrier will finally get the handset as early as next week. The reason, if it does happen? T-Mobile has spent millions upgrading their network in recent months. As their reward, they get to say hello to the iPhone. While many may feel that this is an overstretch on Apple's part, I think the opposite. It is nice knowing that Apple is making sure that the network we use is up to their standards before we spend another dime. Source: TNW

Henley Summer Start-Up Boot Camp
27 June 2016
'The course changes thinking about how to start a business' was the view of participants on the 'Henley Summer Start-Up Boot Camp'
'The course changes thinking about how to start a business' was the view of participants on the 'Henley Summer Start-Up Boot Camp'
Supported and sponsored by Santander and hosted by the Henley Centre for Entrepreneurship the PopUp Business School delivered the 'Summer Start-up Boot Camp' at the Henley Business School during the week 27 June – 1 July 2016.
This was the fourth annual Summer Start-Up Boot Camp and again it was fully subscribed with a record number of students and alumni attending the course.
The course dispelled the traditional approach to starting a business. It bust the view that you need money to start a business. Today you can start a business with a good idea, robust customer insights, investment of time and a tablet or PC.
Participants learnt how to start a business with no money, build a website for free, find customers and start to make sales. It also showed how to use social media to build visibility and scale the business.
The course was punctuated by many practical exercises designed to enhance learning of the key messages among them how to be persistent in selling and win customers. Described as incredibly interactive, fast paced and fun the exercises brought participants together in a way that also helped build their confidence and energy levels.
Amazing! was the unanimous verdict of participants on the course who reported their confidence had been raised significantly with many planning to continue developing their business idea and pursuing a career as an entrepreneur.
Participants posted lots of positive comments in their feedback on the Boot Camp:
'This course was amazing, I've learned so much it's turned my thinking of starting a business into a reality' Emma Hawkins
'Alan was really engaging and motivational, provided a lot of clarity and insight into how to get things moving. Just want to get started now!' Simon Tucker
'This workshop is the best thing I could have ever attended and without it would have taken me years to launch!' Alexandra Matsouki

The beautiful Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park lies adjacent to the western boundary of Mt. Robson Provincial Park, encompassing Mount Terry Fox (8,700 feet/2,650 metres)
Mount Terry Fox is dedicated to the memory of Terry Fox of Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. Terry Fox lost a leg to bone cancer, but undertook to run across Canada on an artificial limb to raise funds for cancer research. He completed 3,360 miles (5,375 km) of his epic journey before illness forced him to end his run. His valiant effort against incredible odds touched the hearts of all Canadians and people around the world. Terry died on June 28, 1981. The mountain that bears his name will serve forever as an enduring and fitting memorial to a young Canadian's determination, selflessness, and courage. The park was officially dedicated by the family of Terry Fox and the people of British Columbia on September 22, 1981.
A challenging 8 miles (13 km) round-trip hike to Mount Terry Fox (rough and steep in sections) leads to the alpine zone from its trailhead north of Valemount. A sign marks the trailhead. Staggeringly impressive views will reward hikers all along the route.
There is no camping permitted in the 1,930-hectare park, as the park is intended for day-use only. The limited facilities provided include toilets and picnic tables located throughout the park.
Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park is located 6 miles (10 km) due north of Valemount, between the Yellowhead Highway 5 and Highway 16 to the British Columbia-Alberta border. There is no road access into the park. A Highway 16 viewpoint situated 7 km west of the west gate of Mt. Robson Provincial Park provides a view of the mountain.
Visit the Terry Fox Foundation to learn more about Terry Fox and the legacy he left for cancer research in Canada and around the world.
