After almost two years as the University of Houston-Victoria's interim president, Vic Morgan is getting a promotion.
The UH System Board of Regents voted to give Chancellor Renu Khator authority to extend Morgan's contract and named him president of the university effective immediately. His contract now extends to Aug. 31, 2017, a year past his current contract.
"I am honored by this vote of confidence from the chancellor and the UH System Board of Regents," Morgan said. "UHV is an outstanding university with plenty of potential for continued growth and success. I am pleased to have the opportunity to continue serving the university and the region."
During his time at UHV, Morgan has presided over many developments and changes for the university, including the opening of University North and the Center for the Arts in Victoria, bringing Dalkey Archive Press to the university, and getting approval to move UHV programs located in Greater Houston to a new building in Katy. The university also has added new programs and concentrations during his tenure, including kinesiology, human resources management and petroleum technology.
In the previous Texas legislative session, Morgan led UHV's efforts to request state funding for the university's growth and development. The Legislature gave UHV $60 million in campus construction bonds for academic expansion and land acquisition.
Before coming to UHV, Morgan was the 10th president of Sul Ross State University, a regional comprehensive state university with an enrollment of just over 3,000 students, including the three remote communities of Del Rio, Eagle Pass and Uvalde as an off-campus center called the Rio Grande College of Sul Ross State University. The Texas State University System Board of Regents appointed him president in 1990, making Morgan the first president of Sul Ross to come from within the ranks of its faculty.
He served 19 years as president before stepping down in 2009. The Board of Regents of the Texas State University System passed resolutions renaming the Sul Ross State University Center in honor of Morgan and his wife, Mary Jane.
He then served as special assistant to the vice chancellor and president designate of the University of North Texas at Dallas from December 2009 until August 2010. In that role, he assisted the university and the UNT System with the process of transitioning UNT at Dallas from a UNT branch campus to a freestanding master's-level institution.
During his time in Victoria, Morgan also is serving in the Victoria Lion's Club. He is active in the Central Church of Christ. His hobbies include motorcycling, golf, shooting sports, classical music and travel. He and his wife, Mary Jane, have two sons, Jason (deceased) and Jeremy, who is a partner with KPMG in Houston.
The upcoming calendar is currently empty.

The tattoos last a lifetime. So if you decide to do such, you should seriously consider what exactly it will be and who will make it. First you should make sure that the tattoo artist who will work on your skin will wear disposable rubber gloves, will use a disposable needle and will surely disinfect his machine before he begins. So he will protect you and himself from infestation with HIV, hepatitis and other unpleasant diseases. A true professional never ignores these hygiene measures. It is far from advisable teenagers to get tattoos. They most often take this decision by simply "wrong instinct" and except that they do not have enough money to pay to a real professional, and usually after years regret this decision. And another argument "against" – you do not know where and how the body will grow in the future and how it will stretch from the tattoo. If you do decide to be marked for life under the age of 18 years, you'd better choose an abstract and asymmetrical image.
Even if you are over 18 years, your body has areas where the chance the tattoo to deform is greater. It is not advisable a woman to get a tattoo on the abdomen, even if she does not like children, suffers from infertility or has given a vow of sexual abstinence. The fats most often attack precisely the abdomen. Believe us, a little dragon will look just as good (or even better) on the back or on your shoulder, where it will retain its appearance for longer. Keep in mind that tattoos are inappropriate for display always and everywhere. So make the tattoo in a place that can be easily hidden under clothing even in the summer heat. You may need to get acquainted with the conservative parents of your friend or to take an extremely important for your career interview. So if your idea of a tattoo can be hidden only under a turtleneck – consider another option. Do not assume that for your tattoo you will pay only once. Even the best tattoos sometimes require adjustments. The corrections of course cost a lot cheaper than the tattoo itself, but means must be provided and for them.
The nice tattoo just can not be cheap. This is an iron rule. So under no circumstances go to the neighborhood amateur tattoo artist who against a carton of cigarettes will paint on your skin the image you want… well, maybe not the one you want, but similar? It is quite likely that the person in question to have almost no experience, to have artistic talents at a moderate level and to use ink that is not specifically intended for that purpose. These colors often spread and leak on the skin or fade in places. Usually people who are left in the hands of an amateur, years later turn to professionals for correction or change of the tattoo – and this is more expensive than a new tattoo. Even in the professional studios, do not save money for qualitative ink. If you are offered several different types, boldly choose the most expensive. Even if the tattoo artist tells you that the inks "are generally about the same." The more good the ink, the less you will have to make adjustments to the tattoo and the less money you will give for it. Remember, the ink used is of greater importance for the quality of the tattoo than the used machine. Tattoos can be colored or black and white. The latter often include shades such as gray. But the colored tattoos always cost more and are less resistant. You will encounter and suggestions for temporary tattoos. With them the paint is not injected into the deeper layers of the skin, but in the upper, which is renewed periodically. This layer of skin for about half a year changes completely, leaving the tattooed before area completely clean and spotless. Often, however, this leads to undesirable result – half a year and the image disfigures gradually and turns into a dirty spot on which you will simply need to make a permanent tattoo. If your idea is to go to a tattoo studio with a cue like "I want a tattoo but do not know how big, where and what color", you better stay home. Give yourself time to think, to decide exactly what you want. In order not to regret later for a tattoo, you should at least know the basic parameters of the desired image – idea, color, size, location on the body.
Let us assume that you are aware of everything that we said so far. And you know where is the best tattoo salon, you are sure there works a professional and you have collected the required amount. However, do not rush. Buy a tattoo-decal that resembles maximum the selected image and print it on the corresponding place on your skin. Walk with it until it falls off alone. Watch your own feelings about it and the reactions of others. If after this experiment you are satisfied with the result, probably you will really not regret your decision. It is not advisable to get tattoos in the summer in the biggest heat and when you intend to go to the sea. Of course the summer is the season in which it is most logical a person to think about a tattoo. The freshly made tattoo, however, must be protected from external factors (pollution, water, sun, sweat) at least one week in order to keep its good form. Contamination of the tattooed area can lead to infections, water and sweat can make the ink fade and the sunlight can lead to burning… So that either predict seven days of quietly staying at home for the "recovery" or make a tattoo in another season. Good luck!

Asda cuts petrol prices AGAIN!
Supermarket top dog Asda is cutting the prices of unleaded petrol again, just two weeks after its last cut!
The retailer is set to give motorists a weekend boost by cutting its unleaded prices by 2p per litre. The cut will be coming into immediate effect meaning that in the last month Asda has cut the price of unleaded by 5p per litre and the price of diesel by 9p per litre.
RAC spokesman Rod Dennis said: "This latest price cut from Asda, coming just two weeks after the last, will be met with cheer from drivers of the country's 19 million petrol cars, who will have noticed that diesel drivers have been enjoying substantially lower prices for over a month now.
"This summer has been a much cheaper one for motorists than the last. The cost of filling up an average family petrol car is now around £8 less than it was last summer, and around £12 less for a diesel car.

This special issue of Wi: Journal of Mobile Media brings together international scholars from a range of disciplines who reconfigure the concepts of 'mobile' and 'mobilities' in relation to trash. The authors do this by using various approaches, from new materialism to software studies, from media archaeology to design, from infrastructural studies to feminism. As such, this issue contains short pieces that engage the politics of trash and speak to its borders, transitions, movements, permutations and invisible transferences. Together, the authors explore and expose the reaches of e-waste, globally – in Australia, Sweden, Canada, and the Philippines - extraterrestrially, down into ocean depths. An important thread that emerges from these texts is the global flows of trash in relation to throwaway culture more generally, and as tracked through specific objects, metaphors and concepts. Here, the bounds of what constitutes global waste are disputed, conceptual limits are challenged, and the many possible and actual trajectories and modalities of trash are dismantled and reconstituted.
We were inspired to assemble this issue for two reasons. One was to build from our ongoing exploration of the topic through our Techno Trash project (technotrash.org), where students from various universities in Canada and the US have contributed 'tech-eco writing prompts' about the personal and global costs of digital technologies. Two, we wanted to bring together a range of critical perspectives that synthesize mobilities + trash. The authors in this special issue of Wi achieve this; they envision a politic of trash that traverses the mundane to the other worldly, data to flesh, material to immaterial, and static to kinetic.
throwaway culture
Sarah T. Roberts recounts the story of a rogue Canadian garbage barge attempting to offload illegal garbage in the Philippines. The narrative underlines the relationships between countries of the Global North with countries of the Global South in matters of waste, as well as to reframe discussions of techno-trash as one fundamentally tied to material things. Having coined "Commercial Content Moderation" (CCM), Roberts shows the link of e-waste practices to the kind of disposal that CCM workers do, increasingly undertaken in sites like the Philippines, the Business Process Outsourcing (or BPO) capital of world.
Drawing from software and waste studies, Sabine LeBel details the historical, material, and virtual contexts of the trashcan icon, as metaphor, virtual object, and now quotidian tool in mobile interfaces. In considering how the trashcan icon might connect the material and virtual realms of mobile trash, LeBel makes an important connection between metaphors of trash and ideals of disposal.
disposable objects
Frankie Kubicki offers a critical historiography of the twenty-first century's throwaway paper cup. Kubicki employs the story of the paper cup as a means of questioning assumed narratives as to why we throw things away. Contrary to the ease with which we dispose of paper cups, the author demonstrates that we are reluctant to disposing of media objects.
Jenny Kennedy and Rowan Wilken examine the disinclination to dispose of USB sticks, in part for environmental concerns, but also because of the data stored on them. Building on a pilot study examining people's use of portable hard drives and USB sticks in Melbourne, Australia, Kennedy and Wilken consider the the ways in which USB portable hard drives hold enduring personal, social and economic significance.
trajectories of waste
Karma Chahine examines the concepts of 'creative renewal' and 'mobility' in relation to The Garage Sale Trail in Sydney, challenging us to think about the multitude of trajectories offered by creative ways of thinking about waste that shape and reshape the urban landscape.
From Sweden, Jennie Olofsson discusses electronic waste as fluid objects, exploring an object's ability to flow and change shape. Olofsson ponders the status of objects as they are discarded as a reworking of the traditional understanding of e-waste, as an end point in the object's lifecycle.
Deena Rymhs examines some of Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas's recent installations and re-casts normative notions of value through the the artist's encoding of repurposed materials within a Haida ecological and economic framework.
Issue co-editor, Andrea Zeffiro, speaks with Frauke Zeller and David Harris Smith about the cultural significance of hitchBOT, the infamous hitchhiking robot, whose journey across the United States came to an abrupt end in Philadelphia in August of 2015. Zeller and Smith reflect on hitchBOT's legacy and consider how caring for non-human matter might bring renewed attention to an ethics of trash.
Taking us to outer space, Josh Lepawsky invites us to contemplate 'offworld rubbish', as a counterpoint to the current terrancentrism of mobilities. Lepawsky details the discards and remainders of human technologies that have been accumulating extraterrestrially.
Thank you to all the wonderful contributors to this issue. We would also like to thank Owen Chapman, Michelle Macklem and Antonia Hernández among others in the Wi team for the design and production of this special issue.
Mél Hogan & Andrea Zeffiro

"The believer who is deprived in this life can accept that temporary and insignificant deprivation because he has a future divine inheritance that is both eternal and secure." ~John MacArthur
Eternal Inheritance
Guard Against Temptation
One of the greatest ways we can guard our hearts and minds against temptation is to be contented with what God has given to us. When you are content with what you have, how then is Satan to tempt you with what you don't have? You are content, you have no need for the other things of this world, even if they be good and wonderful things. We rest in knowing that God has given us what He sees fit, and until He changes what that is, it is best for us. We should want for nothing but what God grants to us on a daily basis.
"God does not dwell in spirits that are in confusion, but He dwells in peaceable and quiet spirits. Oh, if you would free yourselves from temptations, labour for contentment." It is the peace of God that guards the heart from temptation."
~The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment.
"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." ~Hebrews 13:5
"But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." ~Philippians 4:20
"Temptations will no more prevail over a contented man, than a dart that is thrown against a brazen wall." ~The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
Crucifixion and Resurrection
"O Lord,
I marvel that thou shouldest become incarnate, be crucified, dead, and buried.
The sepulcher calls forth my adoring wonder, for it is empty and thou art risen; the four-fold gospel attests it, the living witnesses prove it, my heart's experience knows it.
Give me to die with thee that I may rise to new life, for I wish to be as dead and buried to sin, to selfishness, to the world; that I might not hear the voice of the charmer, and might be delivered from his lusts.
O Lord, there is much ill about me – crucify it, much flesh wishing me – mortify it.
Purge me from selfishness, the fear of man, the love of approbation, the shame of being thought old-fashioned, the desire to be cultivated or modern.
Let me reckon my old life dead because of crucifixion, and never feed it as a living thing.
Grant me to stand with my dying Saviour, to be content to be rejected, to be willing to take up unpopular truths, and to hold fast despised teachings until death.
Help me to be resolute and Christ-Contained.
Never let me wander from the path of obedience to thy will.
Strengthen me for the battles ahead.
Give me courage for all the trials, and grace for all the joys.
Help me to be a holy, happy person, free from every wrong desire, from everything contrary to thy mind.
Grant me more and more of the resurrection life:
may it rule me,
may I walk in its power,
and be strengthened through its influence."
~Crucifixion and Resurrection; The Valley of Vision
All We Need Is Christ
In our journey to gain a content heart it is absolutely necessary that we recognize what matters most in life. It is not the getting of earthly pleasures but it is the receiving of the forgiveness of God and eternity with Him. These things on earth that are temporary and vain, should matter very little, if at all. We must have our eyes focused on the real goal, the real prize, the true fulfillment which is glorifying Jesus Christ with our lives.
Think of our desperate state before knowing forgiveness, love, redemption, and salvation. We searched for something to fill us but there was nothing to satisfy that deep longing in our souls. Nothing could fill a space designed for God alone.
Why is it, once we have been saved by grace, that we continue in our earthly ways searching for things to make us happy? We have found the greatest treasure nothing else should matter anymore. This earth may hold some pleasures but they are temporary and fleeting. We should look to eternity, when we shall worship God in our perfect glorified bodies, for our true joy and contentment. May we find our fulfillment in Christ alone!
"Before, the soul sought after this and that, but now it says, I see that it is not necessary for me to be rich, but it is necessary for me to make my peace with God; it is not necessary that I should live a pleasurable life in this world, but it is absolutely necessary that I should have pardon of my sin; it is not necessary that I should have honour and preferment, but it is necessary that I should have God as my portion, and have my part in Jesus Christ, it is necessary that my soul should be saved in the day of Jesus Christ."
~The Rare Jewel Of Christian Contentment (by Jeremiah Burroughs)
"Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever." ~Psalm 73:25,26
"Thou art my portion, O Lord: I have said that I would keep thy words. I entreated thy favor with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word. I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies. I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments." ~Psalm 119:57-60
May we all find our true contentment in being servants of The Most High King.
I Will Wait
Here is a poem that has been a blessed reminder of waiting for the right one whom God will bring into your lives. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did.
So it seemed,
that it was cool,
for everyone to be in a relationship but me.
So I took matters into my own hands
and… ended up with him.
him, who displayed the characteristics of a
cheater, a liar, an abuser, and a thief.
So why was I surprised when he broke into my heart?
I called 911, but I was cardiac-arrested for
aiding and abetting,
'cause it was me who let him in,
claiming we were "just friends."
It was already decided for me by the first date that
even if he wasn't,
I was gonna make him "the One."
You know… I was tired of being alone,
and I simply made up in my mind,
that it was about that time
so I decided to drag him along for the ride,
'cause I was always the bridesmaid and never the bride.
A virgin in the physical,
but mentally just a grown woman on the corner in heat,
who was tired of the wait,
so I was gonna make him "the One."
he had a… form of Godliness,
but not much.
But, but, hey, hey, I can change him,
so I'll take him, I mean he's close…
Ready to sell my aorta for a quarter,
not knowing the value of it's use to be.
Arteries so clogged with my will,
it blocked His will from flowing through me.
So, I thank Christ that His blood pressure gave this heart an attack,
that flatlined my obscured vision, put me flat on my back.
Through my ignorance, He saw,
so through my sternum He sawed & cracked open my chest
to transplant Psalms 51:10,
a new heart
& a renewed right spirit within.
So now, I fully understand,
better yet, I thoroughly comprehend,
how much I need to wait
for You.
the bad thing is
that I knew he wasn't you from the beginning.
'cause in the beginning was the Word
and he didn't even sound or shine like Your Son
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks,
and all he could whisper was
which meantnothing!
he couldn't even have prayed when I needed him to,
asking him to fast would be absurd,
so, forget about being cleansed & washed with water through the Word.
But I know you,
you are already praying for me.
Even never having met me,
let me assure you,
I will wait
for you.
I will no longer date, socialize or communicate with carbon copies of you
to appease my boredom or to quench my thirsty desire I have for attention and short-lived compliments from 'sorta kindas.'
You know, he 'sorta kinda' right, but 'sorta kinda' wrong?
His first name: Luke,
his last name: Warm.
I won't settle for false companionship.
I won't lay in the embrace of his arms,
attempting to find some closeness,
but never feeling so far, far apart
'cause, I just wanna be held.
♫ 'Cause all I gotta do is say♫
No more 'almost sessions' of
'almost coming close'
passing winks & buying drinks,
and ♫I'ma,
I'ma flirt!♫
Who flirts with the ideology of,
"Can you just tell me how much I can get away with & still be saved?"
No more.
I'll stay in my bed,
and write poems,
about how I will wait for You.
he won't even come close,
our fingers won't even interlock,
we won't even exchange breath,
'cause I have thoughts that I've 'saved as' in a file that God has only equipped you to open.
I will no longer get weighted down,
from so-called friends & family talks,
about the concern for my biological clock
when I serve the Author of Time.
Who is not subject to time,
but I'm subject to Him.
He has the ability to stop, fast-forward, pause, or rewind at any given time.
if we could role play,
you would be Abraham & I would be Sara,
or you can be Isaac & I can be Rebecca–a servant's answered prayer.
I am
bone of your bone,
flesh of your flesh,
made up of your rib, Adam.
And once we meet,
like electrons, I will be bound to your nucleus,
completely indivisible
We even speak the same math:
1 + 1 + 1 = 3,
which really equals 1 if you add Him.
We were all created in His image,
but you have the ability to reflect, project & even detect
the Son.
If I were to explain what you look like,
you would have to look like a star–
a sun of the Son.
I would gain energy simply from the light that you shine on me.
I would need you in order to complete my photosynthesis.
I await your revelation, but once again from the genesis,
I will wait for you.
And I will know you
because when you speak,
I will be reminded of Solomon's wisdom,
your ability to lead will remind me of Moses,
your faith will remind me of Abraham,
your confidence in God's Word will remind me of Daniel,
your inspiration will remind me of Paul,
your heart for God will remind me of David,
your attention to detail will remind me of Noah,
your integrity will remind me of Joseph,
and your ability to abandon your own will, will remind me of the disciples,
but your ability to love selflessly & unconditionally will remind me of Christ.
But I won't need to identify you by any special Matthews
or any special marks,
'cause His Word will be tatted all over your heart.
And you will know me,
and you will find me,
the boldness of Esther
meets the warm closeness of Ruth,
where the hospitality of Lydia
is aligned with the submission of Mary,
which is engulfed in the tears of a praying Hanna.
I will be the one,
drenched in Proverbs 31,
waiting for you.
But to my Father,
my Father who has known me before I was birthed into this earth,
only if You should see fit.
I desire Your will above mine.
So even if you call me to a life of singleness,
my heart is content with You–the One who was sent.
You are the greatest love story ever told,
the greatest love ever known.
You are forever my judge & I'm forever Your witness,
and I pray that I'm always found on a mission about my Father's business.
I will always be Yours,
and I will always wait for You, Lord.
More than the watchmen wait for the morning,
more than the watchmen wait for the morning,
I will wait.
~Janette IKZ

Season 18 of "Hell's Kitchen" came down to a battle of two female chefs from New York City Friday night. And at the end of the two-hour finale on Fox, it was the veteran — Ariel Contreras-Fox — beating out the rookie, Mia Castro.
Contreras-Fox, an executive chef at Harding's in NYC, thus captures the coveted grand prize of $250,000 plus a head-chef position at the world's first Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen restaurant at Caesar's Palace Las Vegas.
This season, Gordon Ramsay's culinary showdown featured a veteran-vs.-rookie theme as chefs from previous seasons of the show returned to take on a group of newcomers.
But though Castro was considered one of the rookies, she had actually competed on a TV cooking show before coming to "Hell's Kitchen," as she was a contestant on "Chopped" on the Food Network. And she put up a good fight.
That choice was no brainer. She was much more calm. She had what it took to become the head chef. Congrats #HellsKitchen
— Ms Alisha Francis (@alishamarie28) February 9, 2019
Ariel first competed on "Hell's Kitchen" during Season 6, when she finished third. In her comeback try, she displayed improvement and more confidence and was reliably consistent. She was never nominated for elimination.
As for Ariel's winning menu, here's what it included:
Shrimp ceviche rojo with mixed chips
(tarot root, purple potatoes, sweet potatoes, green plantains)
Pork dumpling
Scallops with warm corn, pablano and shishito succotash, and sweet corn soubise
Baby gem salad with "Mexican ranch" shaved radish, pepitas, pickled pinto beans, roasted jalapeño and lime vinaigrette
Pollo a la brasa
Mackerel veracruzana
Rib cap Mole
Wagyu Strip with chili salt and corn esquitas
Passionfruit 'napoleon' with raspberry white chocolate and Thai lime whipped cream
Churros with cajeta, anglaise, chili hot chocolate
All I want for my birthday is to go to Las Vegas just to eat at #HellsKitchen and meet Chef Ariel, @ChefChristinaW , & Chef Michelle. Hopefully meet @GordonRamsay if I'm lucky😂💞

Frame, set and match: how Eddie Keogh
shot Wimbledon
© Eddie Keogh/AELTC
Canon Explorer Eddie Keogh has been photographing top-level sports events around the world since the early 1980s and his latest assignment was to cover the 2015 Wimbledon Tennis Championships. In an exclusive interview he spoke to CPN writer Steve Fairclough to reveal how he shot Wimbledon 2015 and what equipment he used to capture all the action and atmosphere from 'London SW19'...
During his career Eddie estimates he has shot around 20 Wimbledon Championships, dating all the way back to 1983, but 2015 saw him working directly for the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) – the club that hosts the tournament – for the first time. "It was a little bit different," reveals Eddie. "Bob Martin (Photograph Liaison Manager) kind of runs the whole show, so he asked me if I'd come along and work with him."
Eddie adds: "Out of all of the sporting events that I go to the guys who run the [Wimbledon] competition really 'do' photography well. That's probably down to Bob Martin having such a big influence there now. There's photography everywhere – all over the whole of Wimbledon – at every court. There are pictures in all the offices and all the media rooms. Everywhere you go there are big pictures, so photography is really important to Wimbledon."
After the vetting process about 150 photographers get official accreditation to cover the Wimbledon Championships and Eddie reveals: "It's the first year we've had a brand new photographers' workroom. We have our own room behind glass; those who work at Wimbledon have the biggest room because they've got the most people working there. Then all the agencies – Reuters, AFP, Press Association… they have their own little workrooms as well. Everybody else has a 'work desk' – that desk has a lockable lid so you can padlock it and you can leave your laptop safely when you go out to work. Every photographer has a locker so all your equipment is safe."
He adds: "Canon [Professional Services] are there to help to facilitate anything that photographers want – if there's any problem with their gear; if they want a lens loan or if they want to talk about how WFTs work on the back of the camera you've got the Canon team there – they do a great job. It's great that they're literally there in the next room to us – it's really nice that they're 'in amongst it'."
The Wimbledon kitbag
As for what equipment he used to shoot Wimbledon, Eddie explains: "My kitbag was a 14mm f/2.8, a 24-70mm f/2.8, a 70-200mm f/2.8 and I've got the 70-200mm f/4 as well – I use both depending on what I'm doing on the day. I've actually been using the 200-400mm [with built-in extender] as well – that's been really good; it's a slightly more 'sports news' lens as opposed to a pure sports photographer's lens in some ways. A 200mm f/2 [lens] would have beautiful, out-of-focus backgrounds but sometimes when you're on the 200-400mm at 400mm and something happens that's more wide-angle you can be on a 200mm [focal length] in half a second. It really does have its moments when it's really handy to have. I've also used the 500mm f/4 this year as well from 'up top'; when you're shooting from a very high angle the 500mm f/4 has been very good, either on its own or with an extender."
Eddie was working in a team of official 'club photographers' who were briefed by Bob Martin every morning. "Eight or nine photographers are there and each one almost has his own speciality. I specialise more in the immediate photography [for] social media and the [Wimbledon] website. Other photographers concentrate on other details at Wimbledon – doing crowd shots, stadium shots, [images] for the sponsors – Rolex, Slazenger, Robinsons, Ralph Lauren. Ralph Lauren sponsors all the umpires, all of what they and the ball boys and girls wear, so there are guys literally concentrating on getting the best shots of ball boys and girls and umpires – all that is in the brief."
He explains: "Basically the photographs I take, starting from the most immediate, were literally sent from the back of the camera with a WFT-E6 [Wireless File Transmitter unit]. You either use WiFi or we're using ethernet cables plugged into the camera, depending on where you are. As things happen they [the club] literally say to you 'can you do a picture of Roger Federer walking on court?' So you do a picture of Roger Federer walking on court, send it and they put it out on their Twitter feed… 'Hey guys, guess what? Roger Federer's just walked on court – why don't you get somewhere or to a screen and watch the game?' The whole thing is really quite immediate."
"They look to me for action – you get out and get the action from the games; get the nice moments, like when Serena and Venus [Williams] hugged after their game. As soon as they hugged, before they walk off the court they [the AELTC] have got a picture of them hugging. As soon as whoever wins a game and celebrates with their hands in the air, you have a quick look at the back of the camera and then send your best frame; that goes on Twitter, Instagram, on the Wimbledon website – that's the immediate use."
RAW + JPEG, WiFi and workflow
Eddie reveals: "I was shooting RAW + JPEG on an EOS-1D X. The JPEG is for immediate use so, when I'm sending, I send the JPEG from the back of the camera. When the day is all done we walk back in to our room and download only the RAW [files]. The JPEGs are then dismissed. So, we download all the RAW files and we work from RAW; from the RAW we do a high-res JPEG, which sits alongside the RAW when we give our pictures to Bob Martin.
At the end of the day he has a high-res JPEG as we've cropped it but sitting alongside that is a RAW file, so if they ever want to go back to it – if they need more room or they want to re-Photoshop it – they've got the RAW file. It's a very good system; it all works very well."
The workflow was also speeded up thanks to the superb WiFi system at the tournament. "There was a fantastic WiFi set-up. Literally everywhere in Wimbledon – however many acres that is but it's a big, big area – you could WiFi [images] from the back of your camera. They've spent a lot of money on comms. All the 'show courts' have ethernet ports – you bring your own cable and plug in to your camera. There's a lot more people sending [images] straight from the camera now."
Eddie had to miss a couple of days of Wimbledon 2015 due to a prior commitment on another shoot for O2 but he shot about 10 or 11 days of the championships and reveals: "I was shooting 2,000 frames a day, so times 10 – that's 20,000 pictures! Obviously the Twitter feed was not just me – they were using everybody else's pictures as well. Everybody else was taking superb pictures as well and they used a lot on Instagram as well." In fact, the official Wimbledon Twitter feed has over 1.75 million followers so it's pretty obvious Eddie's images have already been seen extensively around the world.
Camera settings
As for his camera settings Eddie notes: "Colour balance changes throughout the day, depending on whether it's sunny or cloudy or when the [Centre Court] roof closes. Funnily enough when the roof closes the Auto White Balance [setting] was the best – I tried to do it manually by Kelvin [setting] but the lights kind of flicker and when you do it by Kelvin you're actually getting different colours. Auto White Balance is actually best when the roof was closed and the lights were on."
He adds: "I'm using very fast shutter speeds. If you want to get [freeze] the ball on the racket, because obviously the ball is going pretty fast, it'll be 1/1250sec [shutter speed] at the minimum; I'll try to shoot at 1/2000th [of a sec] of the light is good. ISO 200 if the light's nice and sometimes up to ISO 1600 when the roof is closed and the light isn't so good."
From his kitbag Eddie admits: "The main lens would be the 200-400mm – that's the one I'd use the most. Then the 24-70mm is quite nice for slightly wider shots to try to show a bit more of the stadium or the court where you are and, occasionally, to get some really wide shots, if you've got a nice 'blue sky' day with clouds, then the 14mm can be really nice. The 70-200mm f/2.8 is also a key lens so, depending on what I want, the lenses I use most are the 70-200mm f/2.8 and the 200-400mm. I shot with the 1D X at around eight or nine frames a second."
Long edits and lots of grass
Eddie sums up working at Wimbledon 2015 by admitting: "It went well. They are long, long days – we're in at around 9 [am] in the morning and I think the earliest I left at night was about 10.30pm. You edit [the pictures] yourself, whereas at Reuters all of the editing is done by an editor. At the end of the day if you finish [shooting] at 8 o'clock you then go in, sit down and start editing your pictures. Probably between 60 and 100 pictures per day would be the final edit."
But what was his best image taken during the tournament? "My favourite picture would be Dustin Brown celebrating his win over Rafael Nadal. His long hair is flying everywhere and it would have been even better if the ball boy had not held up a ball at that moment. You can just see some yellow in the bottom of the frame, so I had to crop it really tight."
He adds: "Working for the club was a little bit different to working for Reuters. Reuters tend to be bigger and bolder [in terms of image composition] and Wimbledon… well, they want to see grass! It's the most famous grass tennis tournament in the world, so that sort of thing has to be stressed. They don't want too many 'top half' [shots of players]; they want to see that these guys are playing on grass. They also want atmosphere – to show a bit more of the crowds, the stadiums and the venue than maybe you would do if you were working for Reuters. They [the club] were good to work for – they are very professional."

Termite control in BD products Are you concerned about the threat of termites? Each spring, thousands of homes across the country suffer termite attacks. What's truly horrifying is that most families don't know they have termites at all until they actually see them emerging from the walls. Here are a few termite control products to consider when preventing and treating termite attacks.
It's widely agreed that preventive measures are the most affordable way to keep termites from infesting your home. This includes using a termite resistant sealant on materials such as wood decks, stairs, or concrete foundation corners. You can also install termite traps and termite alarm systems in vulnerable areas along your foundation. To learn more about the right places to install these products, have a termite control specialist inspect your home for weak spots.
When it comes to treating termites, there are a variety of different methods to consider. One of the most popular termite control in BD products would have to be orange oil. This natural substance in this pest control is derived from orange peels. This is a safer, greener alternative to using harsher chemicals. Essentially, either through traps or through spraying, the orange oil spreads through the termite colony slowly. Which gradually wipes them out. However, as orange oil evaporates quickly, it may not work in all situations, especially if the colony is very large or you have more than one.
What is other termite control in BD products?
The premise is a pesticide commonly used inside walls. Its foaming agent reaches every crack and corner, effectively reaching where humans can't go. There is no way for the termites to escape or avoid it, and it is inevitable that they spread the toxin through their own numbers, resulting in a colony death.
You may wish to consider outdoor termite control products as well, whether you wish to protect your yard or your home. Termidor is an effective soil treatment toxin that works to kill termites before they can breach your defenses. This is especially useful for subterranean termites, which operate underground.

While it's easy to imagine considerable damage being inflicted on your home. The truth of the matter is that termites work very slowly, which means your home isn't in immediate danger. However, in acting quickly and consulting the experts regarding your unique situation. you will be able to choose a treatment plan that will benefit you

Most runners will swear by the importance of carbo-loading for top performance. They insist it will help you perform at your best by giving you more energy. However, new studies suggest that low carbs and running may be a more suitable match, when it comes to athletic performance…
Fat and glycogen are the two ways in which energy is stored in the body. Glycogen occurs in limited quantities but is easily accessible energy for exercises of an intense nature. Fat is stored in large amounts in the body, however, the body has a harder task of converting it into energy – it's a slow release energy. Glycogen levels are tapped into for energy and soon after, the body opts to convert fat into energy.
Typically, runners start to increase their carb intake in a bid to boost their energy levels. However, this method can be detrimental to your health and well-being. It will wreak havoc with your blood sugar levels and can promote a host of nasty ailments.
Despite the historical allegiance to carbing-up, expressed by runners, there is a new wave of runners who are switching to low-carb diets and this is translating to improved results, in terms of performance. It is important to note that we are not saying that low carbs entails cutting out carbs completely, as this would be foolish. Your body still needs to function at an optimal level and the right carbs are essential.
A good low carb diet will give you the right kind of carbs that your body requires for energy and not the type that will make you sluggish or fat. Runners on low carb diets experience better long-term recovery. This can be attributed to a greater intake of micronutrients as opposed to a starch rich diet. In this regard, the athlete can train at a higher intensity and still cope.
Even if you are the type of runner who is accustomed to utilising a high-carb intake to boost your energy levels, your body will be able to adjust in accordance if you can make the switch to low carbs as the body will learn how to train their working muscles to make use of more fat stores. This will assist in the evening out of your blood sugar.
And for hefty runners there is good news, this type of diet can help jump start your metabolism and assist with your weight loss/management. So, this will also boost your motivation to run more and give off your best effort.
Bad science, inaccurate research and misinformed "sports gurus" can be attributed to the high-carb advocates for running and other sports. You can still keep your energy levels up if you follow a calculated good low carb diet, not unlike the Paleo Diet. Give it a bash and see for yourself…
What low-carb diets have you tried? What were your results?

Blood diamonds are synonymous with conflict diamonds. The term is designed to dramatically emphasize that behind the glamorous image of diamonds lies a web of corruption, influence peddling and brutality in some parts of the diamond-producing world.
Consumers began clamoring for assurances that the diamonds they desired were not being used to finance conflicts. To that end an alliance of government, civil and industry groups created the �Kimberley Process� to clean up the trade in rough diamonds.
First, in 1998 the United Nations (UN) initiated action that culminated with the establishment of the �Kimberley Process.� However, the UN�s definition of the term blood diamond or conflict diamond is very narrow and was designed to get everyone on board. The definition reads as follows:
�A blood diamond (conflict diamond) refers to a diamond mined in a war zone and sold in order to finance an insurgency, invading army�s war efforts, or supporting a warlord�s activity.�
Next, in July 2000, the World Diamond Congress in Antwerp passed a resolution blocking the sale of blood diamonds. The resolution installed an international certification system on the export and import of diamonds. Countries could only accept sealed packages of diamonds with an official seal, and criminal charges would be levied against anyone and everyone trafficking in blood diamonds.
Six months later, in January 2001, the top elements of the diamond industry formed a new organization�the World Diamond Council. They drafted a process whereby all know diamond rough could be �certified� as coming from a non-conflict zone. Thus, the �Kimberley Process� was created and approved by the UN in March 2002. The United States followed with the Clean Diamond Act in April 2003, and the �Kimberley Process� became law in the United States.
According to the �Kimberley Process� website, there are now 46 members blessed by the Kimberley experts. Only the Ivory Coast (Africa) has rebel forces that control diamond production, but less than 0.2% of the industry.
Our narrative could end here, but I have a much broader definition for a blood diamond. Here is my definition:
- Any diamond that was mined using oppressed labor in unsanitary working conditions.
- Any diamond whose oppressed labor force was victimized in the form of rape, mutilations (loss of arms or legs), beatings, verbal abuse, unconscionable working hours, and below poverty wage structure.
- Any diamond that the company who mined it or controls its tariffs is part of a monopoly.
- Any diamond that funds wars or corporate greed where profits supersede human life.
- Any diamond that is used to oppress any human life or the extinction of any race, tribe or sub-culture.
- Any diamond that is purposely graded incorrectly and marketed for corporate profits instead of consumer satisfaction.
- Any diamond that is sold at a price above its secondary market resale value forcing the consumer to take a significant loss if it was to be resold.
So, what percentage of diamonds sold in the world today are blood diamonds? Well, maybe the question should be what percentage of diamonds are NOT blood diamonds.

We've all thought it, heard it or said it before, "I need a massage" Once Considered pampering for the rich and famous, massage Therapy is now finding enormous popularity among Millions of Americans.
Massage therapy provides relief to people from all walks Of life. The weekend athlete, the home gardener, the over Stressed executive, secretaries, laborers, virtually any active person can feel a need for massage therapy.
Numerous research studies conducted in the United States, Europe, and Asia have documented that far beyond simply "feeling good," massage therapy has an impressive range of physical, mental, and emotional benifits.
Up to 90% of all visits to primary care physicians are for stress related complaints such as headaches, backaches, neck pain, and eyestrain, poor concentration, anxiety disease, ulcers, as well as physical and emotional exhaustion.
Massage therapy has an amazing effect on your body's nervous system. When you Body's parasympathetic nervous system is active, it counteracts your negative response to stress, relaxing muscle tension and allowing your heart rate, blood pressure and circulation to return to normal.
Massage therapy also helps you become more aware of your body and unconsciously held tension. As you become more aware of your body, you will begin to recognize tension as it builds during the day so that you can consciously release it before it can have a negative effect on your body.
Muscles can become tight and ineffective: for many reasons. Stress, injury, poor, circulation, overuse, and misuse, can all cause you pain and discomfort as well as restrict your normal range of motion. When left unattended, these conditions can become habitual and hamper the quality of your everyday life.
Massage therapy stretches and loosens tight muscles, and connective tissue, breaking down and preventing further formation of adhesions, freeing your range of motion and reducing the dangers of fibrosis.
Like a sponge that is squeezed, a tight muscle cannot hold much fluid nor can it allow much fluid to pass through it. This decreases your circulation of blood and increases the strain placed on your heart. Among the obvious Problems that this can cause, this can leave you feeling fatigued and sore, reducing tour precious energy reserves.
Massage therapy release contracted muscles and pushes venous blood towards the heart, thus easing the strain on this vital organ. This increase in circulation brings energy- producing nutrients and oxygen to your cells as well as carries away metabolic waste products that can make you fell listless and drained. In addition, massage therapy increases your body's oxygen carrying red blood cell count helping to bring even more oxygen to your body's cells.
Far too many of us face our daily lives with chronic pain due to injuries or illness.
Massage therapy helps to decrease chronic pain in two ways. The first is that the trained touch of a massage therapist can activate nerve receptor signals along militated never fibers to temporarily block chronic pain signals form reaching the brain. The second is by the stimulated release of endorphins ( the body's natural Painkiller) into the brain and nervous system to reduce your feeling of pain and discomfort without the use of unnatural drugs.
The lymphatic system is a major factor in your body's battle to ward off infection and heal injuries. The lymphatic flow is usually very sluggish in most people and especially so in those that have less active lifestyles.
Massage therapy not only improvas the circulotion of blood and it's vital nutiants, but also increases the circulation of lymph in your lymphatic system thus helping your body to fight off infection and speeding your recovery from injuries and illness.
"If you have a massage every week you will have 2/3 less illness."
Contracted muscles can press on or pinch your nerves causing tingling, numbness, Or pain.
Massage therapy relaxes these contracted muscles to relieve the compression on your nerves. Sensory receptors in the skin and muscles "wake up" bringing new awareness To areas that have felt "cut off" by chronic tension patterns.
Tension caused by over day stress can emotionally drain you, robbing you of the patience and stamina you need just to cope with day-to-day life as well as disrupting you sleep leaving you tired and irritable.
Massage therapy relaxes your tense muscles and calms your nervous system, causing your body's rhythm to slow down. As your body slows down, your blood pressure lowers, your heart rate settles, and your breath becomes deeper and more rhythmic, priming you for a perfect night s sleep.
The sun, smog, poor diet, the unstoppable aging process all contribute to the drying, wrinkling, and the general loss of the youthful characteristics of your skin.
Massage therapy dilates the blood capillaries of this skin increasing the uptake of vital skin repairing nutrients and speeding the removal of harmful toxins, improving skin texture and relieving dryness and itching.
