Five questions with Sabrina Monteleone-Øeino, founder of Sabrina Monte-Carlo
Saskia Henn
Having recently delivered a 90-metre Oceanco yacht, the Monaco-based design studio Sabrina Monte-Carlo has become a respected interior design studio. Armed with her long-standing knowledge of fashion and decoration on land, Sabrina Monteleone-Øeino took her knowledge to the open seas, breaking into the yachting industry with an initial focus on outdoor furniture that organically evolved into a company that supplied everything from patio chairs and tables to bathroom towels and teacups.
SYT sits down with the designer to find out how Sabrina Monte-Carlo developed over time and what we can expect to see for the future of the studio.
Photo: Yavn GrubskiBefore founding your company in 1999, what first got you interested in interior design?
I started in the fashion and decoration world many years ago. I ran a shop and I also worked on houses for myself and my friends. One day, I moved to a new apartment and I did everything inside beautifully, but outside was not so nice. So I started searching for outdoor furniture and I found a few different brands I liked. Then I decided to open a shop that sold both furniture and decor.
Photo: @Yvan GrubskiSo were you already quite involved in the superyacht world? How did you find coming from a fashion background into superyachts?
Everybody was asking me to design something, and then people from the yacht industry started making enquiries. At first, we did a lot of outdoor furniture and tableware, and then I found that clients were asking me for indoor decor too - so now we do absolutely everything! It's strange because we only started with designing small spaces and then as soon as we did one boat, it seemed we soon moved on to shipyards and superyachts.
Photo: @Yavn GrubskiHow did the company grow over time?
I wanted to have something like a concept store where you have furniture, outdoor furniture and all the accessories such as beach towels, teacups, coffee cups and champagne glasses. I like to have the full set. When you have a balcony, I like to think that you want your balcony with everything on it, so I started the company with my one assistant. Three months later there were six of us, and six months later we were 20, and now we are 32.
Photo: @Yvan GrubskiWhat characteristics are important for a superyacht design to succeed? How do you incorporate that into your company?
We have to be very organised because it will be impossible to complete a big delivery if you are not organised. We also need to be mindful of organisation because the company grew so quickly. We are now 32 females. I work with my sister and my two daughters. My first daughter Manola joined the company three or four years ago and since she arrived we are even more organised with all the modern marketing.
Photo: Guillaume PlissonHow do you select the suppliers and people you work with?
Quality. I can't sell something without quality. I even test it myself first at home. I'm not someone who wants to have absolutely everything. I prefer to have fewer brands, but the best ones. The clients know that we never have any problems with quality when they come to us.
As far as my team, everything came naturally. I had an assistant and then the accountant and the designer, and now it's a big family. Everybody in the company has their own responsibilities, and it's nice because since everyone is in charge of something they are very familiar with, every person knows how to do their job very well.
Photo: Guillaume PlissonWhere do you see the company in five years time?
If we keep working like we are now, we'll open a new shop in Italy next year. We will also open an online shop in September for tableware and accessories. I have wanted to be online for three years already, but it's complicated, and now we are finally ready with all the lawyers and authorisations. What is nice is that we will have all the brands we carry in the shop online so everything is very easy. It's something I'm really happy about.
We have three big yacht projects coming as well. We are delivering four superyachts this year - one already happened in May and there are two coming in the second semester. We also worked on the new 85-metre yacht Bold by SilverYachts that was just delivered in Australia, and I'm very happy about that because the project is beautiful.

Richard Steranka, vice president of worldwide channels at Avaya.
CANCUN – Avaya channel chief Richard Steranka Tuesday morning announced changes to its Grow Right 2 strategic rebates program that will make the program twice as lucrative for top partners, but will cut benefits paid to the partners in the company's base-level Silver tier.
Previously, Grow Right 2, which providers rebates for sales of "strategic" Avaya products – those that are in key growth opportunities for the networking vendor – offered partners a flat 20 per cent rebate on eligible sales. Under changes outlined by Steranka at the company's Avaya Executive Partner Forum here this week, Platinum partners will be eligible to receive up to 30 points in rebate, while mid-level Gold partners will remain at 20, and entry-level Silver level partners will see their rebates halved to 10 per cent.
"Handing you a small cheque is meaningless when you've got other vendors vying for your mindshare," Steranka told partners.
While the move at the Platinum level is clearly being made to reward growth among top partners, Steranka said the goal with decreasing the benefit for Silver partners is not to punish, but rather to motivate.
"We hope that it will give you the motivation to pick up additional solution specialization to get back to where you've been, or even pick up two to get up to 30 per cent," he said.
The change in Grow Right 2 payouts will be especially significant in Canada. In the past, those payouts have been capped at $50,000 per quarter in this country, but with the changes to the program, Steranka said the rebate scheme is moving to a flat worldwide quarterly maximum of $200,000. At least for now.
"If they hit that, we'll move it to $250,000," he suggested.
Steranka said the changes to the program were part of a broader push to move towards those "strategic" technologies, which will include prioritizing partner MDF applications that highlight those key opportunities, which include cloud and network fabrics.
Steranka also outlined where the company has – and has not – succeeded in easing processes and streamlining systems for partners. He acknowledged that making Avaya easier to do business with is "a massive challenge" that means in cases "unraveling almost a decade of systems and processes" that are in place. He said the company has made great advances in approval times – especially around order creation, discount approvals, and product quotes, in some cases reducing timeliness from being measured in weeks to being measured in days. But there's still the need for more improvement, particularly in key areas around renewals and contracts around services engagement where partners work with the vendor. He urged partners to hold the vendor's feet to the fire when it comes to progress.
"Yell at us. Tell us what we're not doing well, and especially where we're hurting your commerce," Steranka said.
The channel chief said that getting closer alignment between partners and the company's services arm was his absolute top priority, but said it was a field where Avaya was going to tread carefully for fear of trampling existing relationships partners have with customers.

Q: Identify bar colors of existing fig, ax I have an existing fig, ax that are output from a function I cannot change.
fig, ax = locked_function(data)

I am creating a unit test and need to be able to look at ax.bar.
# The function I am looking for would let me check the color of a particular bar

assert ax.get_color_of_bar2() == 'red'

I can see the rectangle objects inside of ax.get_children() but they don't seem to have color attached to them..

A: A bar is essentially a Rectangle object. From it you can obtain the color by using the method get_facecolor(). Check the following example:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

def plot():
    N = 5
    Means = (20, 35, 30, 35, 27)
    Std = (2, 3, 4, 1, 2)
    ind = np.arange(N)  # the x locations for the groups
    width = 0.35       # the width of the bars

    fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    rects1 = ax.bar(ind, Means, width, color='r')
    return rects1

r = plot()
for i in r:
    print(i.get_facecolor())
plt.show()

, this returns both the tuples from the color of each bar (using print) and the plot itself:
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)
(1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0)

You did not request it but perhaps it will help you in the future. When I'm stuck and do no know the correct method to obtain something (or change something) is usually do:
r = plot()
help(r[0])

This will return you the map of the object. Is not always easy to read but the functions will be printed like this:
 ...
 |  get_ec = get_edgecolor(self)
 |      Return the edge color of the :class:`Patch`.
 |
 |  get_edgecolor(self)
 |      Return the edge color of the :class:`Patch`.
 |
 |  get_extents(self)
 |      Return a :class:`~matplotlib.transforms.Bbox` object defining
 |      the axis-aligned extents of the :class:`Patch`.
 |
 |  get_facecolor(self)
 |      Return the face color of the :class:`Patch`.
 |
 |  get_fc = get_facecolor(self)
 |      Return the face color of the :class:`Patch`.
 |
 |  get_fill(self)
 |      return whether fill is set
 ...

Another option is the __dict__ property:
print(r[0].__dict__)

Which results in something like this:

Is British Airways really planning on charging passengers for meals?
By Alexander Joe Published May 17, 2016 at 3:15 AM GMT
Is British Airways actually about to ditch free food in economy class?
Various media reports suggest that the airline could soon begin charging passengers for meals on short-haul flights, however, British Airways has dismissed the reports as being "complete speculation".
If the airline were to stop offering free food in economy class it would allow it to significantly cut the price of headline fare, raise revenue, and save the airline unnecessary wastage.
It's uncertain whether BA will actually begin charging passengers for meals, but it could be in the airline's best interest.
However, BA has said that the reports are "complete speculation".
A British Airways spokesman was quoted by the BBC as saying: "We are constantly reviewing every element of the experience our customers receive, including the in-flight catering, to ensure we're delivering what they want.
"Everything we do is with our customers in mind and we will make changes that reflect their feedback."
John Strickland, a leading airline consultant, was quoted by The Guardian as saying that the move would not surprise him.
He said: "In business class, passengers are still getting a very nice product offer. But it's inconsistent in economy. People are used to going onboard loaded with food from shops at the moment because they don't know what to expect on BA – a full meal, or a wrap and a packet of crisps. BA is in a no-man's land at the moment. It needs to bring some clarity to better meet or manage customer expectations."
Last year British Airways reported revenue of £11.6 billion (down 1%) while operating profit rose 41% to £1.4 billion.

Evonne Fay Goolagong Cawley (Griffith, Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia, 31 de julio de 1951) es una jugadora australiana de tenis profesional retirada. Goolagong lideró en los años 1970 y en principios de los años 1980 el tenis mundial junto a otras tenistas de la época. Ganó 14 títulos de Grand Slam: 7 en individuales (cuatro Abiertos de Australia, dos Wimbledon y un Roland Garros), 6 en dobles femenino y 1 en dobles mixto. No pudo obtener el Grand Slam de carrera ya que nunca logró ganar el Abierto de Estados Unidos.

Goolagong fue Nro 1 del ranking WTA por 2 semanas entre abril y mayo de 1976, hecho que recién fue oficializado 31 años después, en 2007, tras encontrarse errores en los cómputos de aquella época.

Gardens tie us closely to Feng Shui because they are the easiest way to stay in touch with nature.
Start with my exclusive Feng Shui Garden Bagua Map, using it just as you would inside your home.
Starting from the entry to your garden, look around and use the map to think about how each area is working to support your life. (Read more here about How To Use The Feng Shui Bagua Map).
For example, what's in the back left-hand corner, your Wealth & Abundance area?
After you've cleared it of things you don't want or love, think about what you could add to activate Abundance: good lighting, strong vertical plantings, and red, purple or gold flowers, for instance.
How about the Relationship area, in the back right-hand corner? Enhance this section with romantic flowers in shades of red or pink, and with plantings that "pair up" nicely.
This might also be just the spot for a small cafe table and a few chairs to encourage conversation and companionship.
Water features create wonderful Feng Shui in a garden, especially when you make sure to install them in a spot that will enhance Chi energy the most.
Finally, consider the "path of Chi" to welcome healthy energy with an open, inviting route through your garden.
Whether you have a full backyard spread, a windowbox, or simply enjoy the plantings in your neighborhood, "garden awareness" adds positive energy to your life by keeping you in balance and harmony with nature.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this rich topic. I encourage you to get started enhancing your garden with Feng Shui today!
If I have two entrances opposite each other, one from the inside of my house and one from the street side, which one do I use?
I'm afraid I don't really understand your question. If you would like to send a floor plan I would be happy to do a mini-consultation with you to give you the best answer. Please let me know.
It is hard for me to completely understand your question. Please let me know if you would like to set up a mini-consultation to clarify and discuss. Thank you.


When I was visiting colleges trying to make a decision about my future, I visited Miami of Ohio. On that trip my father and I took a trip to Great American Ballpark ("Good" American Ballpark if you ask me) in Cincinnati to see a Cincinnati Reds baseball game. On the Cincinnati Reds is one of baseball's best players by all new advanced metrics and by the old ones. In the third inning of the game, Joey Votto hit a towering Home Run to deep centerfield with one of the greatest swings I had ever seen live. Even with this home run, the Reds lost 10-3. Even with Votto leading the league in the coveted On Base Percentage (OBP) state and finishing second in Most Valuable Player voting, the team went 68-94 finishing last in their division. After the loss I had to ask myself a very important question: Are the Reds wasting a Hall-of-Fame talent in Joey Votto? The answer is unfortunately and obviously. Yes.
Out of all active players in the game right now Votto is first in OBP, second in OBP+Slugging (OPS) and third in Batting Average. The most important thing in baseball is getting on base, and no one does it better than Votto. In 2010 he won the MVP Award and is widely recognized as one of the best in the game still today. Unfortanetly for him the Reds teams he has been include some of the worst in franchise history. Votto himself made 3 Playoffs with the reds but they have never advanced past the first round.
For measuring a players Hall-of-fame "worthiness" while still a player, they're are two main stats we look at. WAR and JAWS. WAR stands for Wins Above Replacement which is how many wins his team gets because he is the first baseman and not the guy who would replace him. His career WAR is 54.8 which is 12 points below they average Hall-of-Fame First-Basemen's WAR, but pretty close. His JAWS which is the Jaffe War Score System which is how a baseball writer evaluates Hall-Of-Fame likeliness based on WAR and other stats is 50.2 which is 4 points lower than the average first basemen. In 2017 his 7.48 WAR wasn't just the best on the Reds, it was the best out of any first basemen in the league. It was actually good for 5th best in the league all together. For a player this close to being on track to being a hall of fame, it appears to be the rest of his team, not his own ability which is dragging him down and his ability to win a championship. Poor Joey Votto would almost be better suited to win on any other team in the MLB, but alas as he enters his age 34 season with the Reds, it looks like his professional tides will not be changing any time soon. So we will continue to see the greatest waste of talent in the MLB today.

Q: Combining Text messages and Video I am using Adobe Flash Media Server. I am trying to do one 2 one video chat with clients exchanging text messages back and forth. I want to alternate different text colors such as red and blue to stand out well. I tried using css but it changes all the text colors not just each message.
Can find any examples at all in ActionScript. Please can somebody point me in the right direction?
Thanx in advance

A: I think you might need to add some source code of stuff you've already tried.
In general though, any text formatting, including colours, can be done via TextField.setTextFormat();
Also look at the TextFormat class.

The governing equivalent of bunny ears
A look at California's gubernatorial race
by The Economist | AUSTIN
MARK LEIBOVICH'S essay handicapping the next California gubernatorial field is quite fun. We have Gavin Newsom, mayor of San Francisco, playing with the panic button in his office; Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay, stealing Rick Perry's joke about Mississippi; Jerry Brown, eating sushi and posting "25 things about me" lists on Facebook; and hovering over them all, the term-limited, unpopular, unruffled Arnold:
Size is important to Schwarzenegger, as befits a champion bodybuilder. The first thing he asked me was how long this article would be. "About 9,000 words," I said, exaggerating slightly, wanting to impress him. "It's a big story," he said, nodding, pleased.
Schwarzenegger then relighted his cigar, using a lighter about the size of my hand. It was the biggest lighter I had ever seen, I told him, and he grinned, seeming glad that I had noticed. He flicked up another big orange flame, for special effect.
None of the contenders have a very clear plan for fixing the state's "lumbering wreck of an economy", which should be the main issue in the race. Jay Leno jokes that as governor, Ms Whitman could put everything on eBay (but as it happens someone gave her a sculpture of a sea lion and she said she would keep it). Even if anyone did auction off the state's assets there is a good chance that the unruly California electorate wouldn't notice.
Another candidate Mr Leibovich checks in on is Steve Poizner, the state insurance commissioner. But he has a couple of handicaps, says the reporter: he "looks like a state insurance commissioner" and his name sounds like "poison".

A decade from now, ride-hailing will be less than 50 percent of Uber's business, in terms of transactions, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said Thursday at TechCrunch Disrupt SF.
The onstage prediction is in line with recent moves by Uber and its CEO to be part of, and make money from, all the different ways people might move within an urban environment. In Khosrowshahi's one year as CEO, Uber has made a multimillion-dollar acquisition of JUMP bikes, launched UberRENT, announced plans to launch a dockless electric scooter service and launched a new modalities organization created to figure out what this multi-modal future might look like for Uber.
Ride hailing, the company's first and primary revenue driver, and its delivery app UberEATS, will both be enormous in the future, Khosrowshahi said. But the long-term vision, and one that is already in motion, is to move away from travel that relies on passenger cars.
Dockless scooters and bikes — and someday even flying taxis — are central to that plan.

Richard Parks to attend Wales Rally GB 'shakedown'
WORLD RECORD HOLDER – RICHARD PARKS – JOINS THE FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP IN WALES
Former Welsh International and Barbarian flanker, Richard Parks, will be present during the 'shakedown' test in the final build up to this week's eagerly awaited Wales Rally GB (10-13 November). The official shakedown is based at the Royal Welsh Showground in Builth Wells on Wednesday 9 November.
Having been forced to retire from the game following a career ending shoulder injury, Parks has just conquered the world via a unique 737 Challenge. In July he became the first man to stand on the summits of the highest mountains in each of the world's seven continents as well as all three poles (the South Pole, the Geographical North Pole and the summit of Everest) in the same calendar year – a remarkable feat he completed in less than seven months, raising funds in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The world record holder will be joining the stars of the FIA World Rally Championship on the eve of Wales Rally GB – the final event of a thrilling 13-round globe-trotting series that itself has ventured to all four corners of the Earth including Australia, South and Central America, the Middle East and Europe. And, of course, a rally that will see a new World Champion crowned in Cardiff on Sunday evening with the title battle finely poised between Mikko Hirvonen and defending champion Sebastien Loeb.
"Richard has certainly conquered the world in 2011 and so his presence at an event that will culminate with the crowning of this year's World Rally Champion is particularly welcome," said Simon Long, CEO of WRC promoter North One Sport. "Like all top rally drivers, Richard clearly has a tremendous taste for adventure and his unprecedented feats are truly astonishing."
As well as meeting the top teams, local Welsh hero Parks will experience a passenger ride during the pre-event shakedown courtesy of the M-Sport Stobart Ford Rally Team. He will be available for photo calls and interviews throughout the morning. For more information on Richard's amazing achievements please visit 737challenge.com.

Singapore must create a mindset and culture that embrace innovation in businesses and their staff in order to prepare for the economy of the future, said Minister for Trade and Industry (Industry) S. Iswaran yesterday.
He told a forum of 300 business leaders that the country can navigate challenges in a period of transition for economies, industries and jobs, but it will require a national effort.
"The 'mindset' aspect is going to be very critical going forward, and it's not something that (the Government) can just dictate. It has to be something that pervades all levels of our society," he said.
He noted that Singapore has certain advantages in dealing with the changes, including its status as a well-connected and trusted regional hub that is well positioned to benefit from South-east Asia's rapid growth, as well as an ecosystem supporting research and development.
But Mr Iswaran, who is co-chair of the Committee on the Future Economy, stressed that beyond technical capabilities, Singapore will have to grapple with creating a culture that welcomes innovation. "What is the aspiration of the student? What is the messaging that the teacher gives the classroom? What is the tone set by the boss in a (small or medium- sized enterprise) as much as in a (multinational)? What is the general tone in society when it comes to undertaking risks venturing into new areas? This is where a lot of the evolution needs to take place in our society."
Mr Iswaran was speaking during a panel discussion at the inaugural The Business Times Leaders' Forum, which marked the 40th anniversary of The Business Times.
Standard Chartered Bank's Singapore chief executive Judy Hsu, a fellow panellist, sought to debunk the perception of banking as boring and traditional. She asked the audience to imagine being able to do banking by commanding a mirror to show them their bank account balances and financial goals. "In other words, I can brush my teeth and do all my banking at the same time. You'd think we are many years away from that but, in fact, our innovation lab already has a prototype of a two- way mirror, and it could be happening very quickly."
She pointed to "soft skills" like cultural awareness that would stand Singaporeans in good stead for the new economy. "We want to encourage younger staff to take assignments overseas. And that's always a challenge... many Singaporeans are less mobile than (people of) some other nationalities. We are doing more to encourage that so that when they come back to Singapore, they have a much broader international mindset."
Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) chairman Lim Chuan Poh, another panellist, said he was "very optimistic about the future of Singapore because of the younger generation". He recounted his experience interviewing candidates for the A*Star scholarship over the past decade, saying he used to encounter young people who craved job security. A*Star scholarship holders of recent times have changed, he said, citing one who said he was launching a start-up and hiring a professor who had tutored him.
Mr Iswaran urged business leaders to make suggestions to the Committee on the Future Economy, noting that since January, it has engaged over 2,000 stakeholders in around 60 face-to-face sessions.

Inside rogue traders jail hell and final deal that would have cost his life
Don't miss a thing by getting the Daily Star's biggest headlines straight to your inbox!
The "original rogue trader" Nick Leeson has spoken out about his time in incarceration, his suicide attempt, and destroying a 233-year-old bank.
Leeson served four years in prison for fraud after bankrupting London-based Barings Bank back in 1995 by hiding $1.3 billion in debt he accumulated as a derivatives trader in Singapore.
During an interview with CNN, the author of "Rogue Trader: How I Brought Down Barings Bank and Shook the Financial World," recalled his time spent in a maximum-security prison in Germany.
Thrown in with Yugoslav gunrunners, Bolivian drug lords and sex offenders, he said: "That was the one time I contemplated suicide. I wouldn't have been able to do it myself though.
"But there were these two Italian boys. One of them was an ice cream vendor, Luigi, and another well-dressed man, Salvatore. They were connected.
"It would have cost me £10,000 ($15,268) I think. I presumed it would happen in the showers one day, someone would just knife me."
As the Watford-born Leeson went from high-flying trader to convicted fraudster, spending three and a half years in a gang-ridden Singapore prison. He has now joined GDP Partnership, an Irish restructuring firm.
"The press were saying I could spend up to 84 years in prison, you don't have to be an MIT mathematician to work out I was gonna be dead.
"I spoke to my wife and father about it [suicide]," he said, explaining that they would have to negotiate the assisted suicide on his behalf from outside prison.
"Obviously they cried but you have to deal with the reality of the situation."
More than 25 years on, having weathered incarceration, faced divorce and colon cancer, the "original rogue trader" is now a regular public speaker and lecturer. He also runs his own website and social media accounts.
When asked if he would press a magic button to take it all back, Leeson told CNN: "There is no such button."
Describing himself as a "realist," it may be hard to understand how he could have lost $1.3 billion, destroying a 233-year-old bank in the process. It's even harder to understand why he thought he could hide it away in a secret account known as the "five eights".
After leaving his desk and fleeing with his wife to Kuala Lumpur, Leeson resurfaced days later and was arrested in Frankfurt at the age of 28. Imprisoned and awaiting deportation to Singapore, Leeson started to reflect and accept responsibility for his actions.
"Prison was tough," said Leeson, who now found himself mixing with dangerous criminals from the Chinese and Malaysian underworld.
"You're locked up in a cell for 23 hours a day with two other people. You wake up at 6 am in the morning and it's a hundred degrees outside. You get three books a month. So there's not much to occupy your mind."
At the time, Leeson said he received messages of support to keep him sane, including nude photographs from air hostesses. "I never got the naked pictures, I just got the letter," he joked.
"They would turn the lights on at night and turn them off in the day. There were no windows and there was a hole that they put your food through.
"I used to walk up and down 780 times in the cell and that was an hour. That's how I passed time. You start singing to yourself." Leeson chuckled.
After his release from solitary confinement, Leeson was diagnosed with colon cancer. "I had an emergency operation to remove a tumour in my stomach that was 9cm by 5cm. It was big."
Leeson was released in 1999, aged 32. Broke, and with no job prospects, he returned to the UK, where he continued cancer treatment.
He sold his story for a six-figure sum to the Daily Mail, wrote a book and had a film made about his time at Barings called "Rogue Trader" starring Ewan McGregor.
But "I've never seen a penny of it," he said.
Barings' liquidators had served Leeson with an injunction of £100 million and took 50% of proceeds from his story.
"I asked them 'if I got a job flipping burgers, how much would you want?' and they told me 'half'."
Now 54, Leeson lives a quiet life in Barna, Co Galway, Ireland.
Asked if a rogue trader will ever bring down a bank again, Leeson confidently replied: "No doubt about it. If you ask anyone in the banking industry, they will say 'yes, but it won't be me.'"

Q&A: Steve Biagioni
About Idris Elba
Idris Q&A
Mentor Profiles
Steve 'Baggsy' Biagioni has been in the driving seat since he could reach the pedals. Baggsy is currently one of the hottest prospects in drift racing to come from UK shores.
In the eight years he has been competitively racing, Essex-born Baggsy has won the British Drift Championship, and made demo appearances at the FIA World Rallycross Championship as well as the Monza Rally Show, alongside Lewis Hamilton and Valentino Rossi.
WHAT SKILLS DID IDRIS HAVE WHEN YOU MET HIM?
Idris had done a bit of driving and grown up around cars. He needed to draw from all of this for the historic Flying Mile. It's a really dangerous challenge. The car can dig into the sand and flip over, plus the sand moves under the car.
HOW DID IDRIS RESPOND TO THE CHALLENGE?
He had to really concentrate. Although you're just driving in a straight line, anything can happen. When you're travelling at 180mph, the smallest bit of flotsam on the beach, or a gust of wind, can disrupt the car. If you go sideways, you're in trouble. Then there was the weather. We had really low fog coming in, and when that cleared, the tide was coming in, so we were battling the elements.
DID YOUR MENTORING INVOLVE PSYCHOLOGICAL
HELP AS WELL AS TECHNICAL HELP?
Yes. It was a very serious day, but my plan was to keep his spirits high. As soon as you get scared, you can over compensate with the steering wheel and go off course. So I wanted him to be the Mr Smooth that he is!
COULD IDRIS TAKE UP THE SPORT COMPETITIVELY?
Idris is learning to be a racing car driver, but it's not his job. He's having to learn very quickly what people take years to achieve. But his talent in acting helps him to take up new skills: where he's learning lines very quickly and adapting quickly. He can quite easily step out of one lifestyle and hold his own in another lifestyle. If you didn't know him, you'd watch him and assume he'd been doing this for a lot longer. He's already been on the phone asking me to look at different projects we can do next. So watch this space! He seems to be capable of achieving anything he wants to, so I think the sky is the limit for Idris.

Science and the AAAS sell their souls to promote pseudoscience in medicine
Medicine oracknows | January 5, 2015
NOTE: There is a follow up to this post. The holidays are over. Time to start dishing out fresh Insolence, Respectful and, as appropriate, not-so-Respectful for 2015.

It happened in an issue that came out just before Christmas, and, with all the festivities, being on call last week, and having houseguests; so, unfortunately, I just didn't get around to addressing it, either here or on my not-so-super-secret other blog (where I might crosspost this later in the week).…
Spoiler Alert: The Lego Movie
milhayser | February 21, 2014
The story starts off predictably enough for a grandiose adventure: a wizard, a prophecy, an unwitting hero. Emmet is just a model construction worker, living his city life to the tee by following every rule in the book. He is manically happy just to be doing it right: greeting his alarm clock with a smile, doing some calisthenics, watching his favorite sitcom before heading out for an overpriced coffee and a fulfilling day on the job. He feels like he has friends, that he's part of something. Then a mysterious woman who's obviously not playing by the rules leads him to fall down an…

PepsiCo Food Frontiers blog did not have to be a #SbFAIL

It's taken me a few hours to cool off enough to write coherently and without using (too much) profanity after I learned that ScienceBlogs added a corporate PR "blog" about nutrition written by PepsiCo. I think I've learned all I care to know about corporate "food" giants' definition of what is "nutrition" by being confronted daily by a flock of hugely protruding bellies and jiggling posteriors everywhere I go (yes, even here in Germany). I would link to that "blog" so you can see what I am talking about but quite frankly, I don't want to send any traffic to them. I think you can find them…

I've written a couple of times here about TV commercials that drive me crazy or just perplex me (that post on what the Cialis bathtubs are all about continues to get a couple of views a week even though it was over a year ago). In general, though, I don't get too exercised about TV ads, maybe because we have a TiVo and don't see as many per TV hour watched (usually late at night and old TV series like Have Gun Will Travel and Maverick, or the preposterous Bones or the amusing Monk).

That Superbowl ad (not the anti-abortion one; the other one)
revere | February 9, 2010
Like tens of millions (probably hundreds of millions globally) I watched the Superbowl on Sunday. With such an audience, ad time is notoriously and extravagantly expensive and some ads are only run once, at that venue (e.g., the famous Apple "1984" ad). For some people the ads are as much an attraction as the game, so it is sad to report that this year they were relatively unfunny and, as one blogger noted, unusually ugly and misogynist in flavor. But the ad that has drawn the attention of those interested in a cleaner and greener world was from automaker Audi and it has drawn two very…

The ad was really nice because it shows what Google is about, and it tells a sweet story. Congratulations on the superb ad! Way to go, Google!

Lashing out at Latisse®
I am running out of eyelash puns having written at least six posts since the summer of 2007 on a class of anti-glaucoma drugs that have been harnessed for their cosmetic side effect: promotion of eyelash growth. Bimatoprost (Lumigan®) and latanoprost (Xalatan®) are members of the prostamide class of drugs that can manage some forms of glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure. When administered as eye drops, the drugs mimic the effect of endogenous prostaglandin PGF2α, acting as a local hypotensive to promote outflow of aqueous humor from the eye through the trabecular meshwork.

Description The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Thomas Ross. Ross was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in September 1922. After graduating from high school he played football at the University of Wisconsin in 1940 and 1941. While in college, he participated in the Civilian Pilot Training Program. Enlisting in the Naval Aviation cadet program in 1942 he began pre-flight training at Iowa City, Iowa. He then went to the Glennville Naval Air Station in Illinois. While there he requested a transfer into the air arm of the US Marine Corps. Upon being accepted he went to Cherry Point, North Carolina where he was assigned to VMSB-331 to pilot SBD dive bombers. The squadron traveled to San Diego where they were put on the USS Nassau (CVE-16) for deployment to Nukufetau Airfield. He was a member of a detachment of the squadron that spent several months on Tarawa where they were subjected to nightly bombings by Japanese aircraft. During June 1944, while on a mission over Maloelap, Ross was forced to ditch due to flak damage. He and his crewman were picked up by a PBY. In July, the squadron converted to F4Us with experienced Corsair pilots brought in to provide a quick on-the-job training course. After flying twenty-five missions in the F4U, Ross returned to Cherry Point. He then joined VMSB-244 on Mindanao before moving to Okinawa where he was when Japan surrendered. Ross concludes the interview by telling of his experiences in China and Korea; during the Cuban Missile crisis; and in Vietnam. He retired after twenty-nine years of service.

Don't be left with high heating bills when the temperature drops. Prepare for the fall weather with these heating tips.
Set the thermostat timer. Set the timer on your thermostat to lower the temperature when you sleep. Also, if you are not at home most of the day, don't waste money to maintain a high temperature during that time.
Change and clean air filters. Clean and replace your furnace filters regularly. Filters are inexpensive to replace compared to the higher heating bills resulting from not changing them frequently.
Utilize another windowpane. Use storm or thermal windows when available. The layer of air between the windows acts as insulation.
Tightly seal all drafts or leaks. To prevent or minimize window drafts, apply caulk or sealants, they are both inexpensive and effective.
Dress warmly. Dress appropriately in the cooler months when indoors. Instead of raising the temperature on the thermostat, put on a sweatshirt.
Turn down the water heater. Lowering the temperature in the water heater reduces power use, often without a noticeable difference to the user.
Let some light in. During the day, open the curtains on all south-facing windows to warm your space. Close the curtains at night to assist in preventing the escape of heat.
Buy a low-flow shower head. A water-efficient shower head can use 25%50% less hot water, saving you money on water and power bills.
Insulate your ducts. If you have exposed heating ducts, wrap them in insulation to prevent the heat from escaping.

A STUNNING LINCOLNSHIRE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOSHOOT AT HUBBARDS HILLS, LOUTH.
As Lincolnshire wedding photographers we obviously love photographing weddings, but there is something special about an engagement shoot when it is at a gorgeous location such as Hubbards Hills in Louth. The gorgeous tree lined river mixed with the crisp winter weather made a perfect backdrop for Jodie & Liam's photoshoot.
There was something special about our family shoot with Shirley and Roger. From the moment we arrived at their home, we were treated like friends. Capturing their family portraits in their Lincolnshire home during the British summer made things a little more nerve-wracking. The photoshoot was a wedding anniversary gift for each other, as they wanted to capture their family together and capture some memories.
Remember June? All that beautiful sunshine that seems a long time ago as we near the end of a pretty dismal summer of British weather. As well as beautiful sunshine, June was when we saw the most beautiful display of British flowers I think we have ever seen..
The ingredients were simple. Take the beautiful, historic, Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa, add in one very talented floral designer in the form of Shirley Dee from S&A Floral Designs, mix with a beautiful array of British Flowers and you have the stunning display that was the Petwood Hotel entrance for British Flowers week.
It was great to see the display come together from scratch and also to hear all the comments from visitors as we were taking photographs. Everybody who walked past commented on the beauty of the flowers and the aroma was unmistakably that of an English country garden.
Lastly we cannot say how beautiful the work of Shirley Dee from S&A Floral Designs is. If you are looking for beautiful flowers for weddings, special occasions, or just because, then make sure you look her up.
Take a look below to see the beautiful work.
We had the pleasure of photographing family portraits of Nicky Carly & Frank a little while back.
We shot these portraits at their Lincolnshire home. With Carly having additional needs, photographing her in her own environment helped both her and Nicky relax. It also meant we got to meet Frank, their gorgeous, but slightly boisterous dog, who played the role of the loveable rogue throughout the shoot. He did however do as he was told at the very end of the shoot, which allowed us to capture the four legged member of the family (after bribing him with an appropriate amount of treats).
Sometimes, it feels like there are never enough hours in the day. I'm sure it's not just us who feels this way. Since our son was born, time seems to gone by even faster.
This month he turns 5 and yet it only feels like yesterday we were bringing him home from hospital for the very first time.
I guess this is why our clients are so happy when they receive their prints. A photo freezes a snapshot of time, one that will never happen again, but can instantly be relived, even in our incresingly busy lives.
While we sit here typing this blog post, Lisa looked up to the prints of our son on the wall, taken a year apart and said "you never see the change day to day, it's only when you look back."
As he approaches his birthday, it's good to look back on those photos. If only to remind us when he is playing up that actually, he is an amazing little man that never fails to make us smile, laugh and astonish us every day.
WE'VE RECEIVED SOME GREAT NEWS.
To say we are over the moon is an understatement!
166 Photography have been chosen as one of the lucky companies who have received an East Lindsey District Council Micro Business Grant.
This grant is an amazing opportunity for us at 166 Photography. The grant will go towards purchase of new equipment which will allow us to create even more amazing photography for you and your family to treasure.
We would like to personally thank the panel at East Lindsey District Council for the help and guidance throughout the process. It means so much to see local government help small businesses like 166 Photography grow.
We also plan on paying this act forward. Keep your eyes peeled for a series of chances for you to benefit from 166 Photography this summer.

TD1 Youth Hub now over £100k better off
The future looks bright for Galashiels charity TD1 Youth Hub after securing a grant of more than £100,000 for the next three years.
By Kevin Janiak
Friday, 1st February 2019, 10:31 am
Updated Friday, 1st February 2019, 11:05 am
TD1 Youth Hub members during their visit last year from Children in Need's Pudsey Bear and former Scotland Rugby star Chris Paterson.
That grant from the Henry Smith Charity means the organisation will be able to secure the services it provides to the town's young people aged 11 to 25 until at least 2022.
TD1 Youth Hub supports youngsters by offering evening drop-ins, street work, young parents' groups, music projects, one-to-one advice, youth awards, mentoring and physical activities.
The £100,500 grant will support the charity with its running costs, ensuring the core expenditure that underpins its activities is there.
This grant focuses on two key areas of its work, classed as help at a critical moment and positive choices.
TD1 Youth Hub's manager Douglas Ormston told us: "This grant from the Henry Smith Charity means a great deal to the organisation.
"It gives us a sense of security moving forward for the next three years.
"Working to improve young people's lives is not always easy and often takes time, so the longer-term funding of this grant gives us confidence in the work we do and gives us the time and full resources to do it.
"Youth work is about changing young people's lives by working alongside them and being partners in the process.
"This grant will make a huge difference to our organisation and fulfilling this aim."
The charity's six-figure grant has come out of its improving lives fund, set up to provide funding for charitable organisations that help people when other sources of support have failed, are inappropriate or are simply not available.
It supports established organisations that can demonstrate a track record of success in delivering services directly to beneficiaries and offer evidence of the effectiveness of their work.
The charity was founded in 1628 by Henry Smith, a businessman working in London.
Since then, it has honoured the spirit of Mr Smith's will, working to combat disadvantage and meet the challenges and opportunities facing people in need throughout the UK.
Now, it is among the largest independent grant makers in the country, distributing more than £30m in 2017.

There is, without a doubt, one category of question I get asked about more than any other and that has to do with how to price your food products. The reality is that there are so many factors that go into pricing that it's hard to sum up in just one article on the site or in an email response all the things you need to take into account. Pricing is probably the most important decision you'll ever make for your company and this 30-page e-book covers all aspects of the pricing equation.
real-life questions from food entrepreneurs as they've struggled with their pricing and the responses I've shared with them.
If you've ever struggled with pricing, aren't sure if you're current pricing strategy is right, or have a new product on the horizon that you want to make sure hits the market at the right price point, this e-book is for you.

They are never in your face or obtrusive in any way, you don't need to take care of them, they take care of themselves along with everyone else and still manage to get the most beautiful photographs in the process. They seamlessly merged into our gathering of family and friends, were always so polite and went out of their way to create magical permanent proof of all the special people and parts that came together for our celebration. Having a photographer like Aviraj gives one the inspiration to host more events in ones life just so he can come take pictures! Of course, I wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone for everything and can confidently say your search for a photographer should start and end with him; look no further.
