While others are mourning the loss of summer, the waning daylight hours, the dying leaves, and the cold weather, you just can't wait for snow to accumulate in the mountains.
But before the snowpack reaches critical mass, you can pass the time by conditioning your body to get ready for the ski season. The purpose of pre-season conditioning is to focus on overall fitness and to prevent injuries.
Preconditioning prepares your body for the unique rigors of skiing so you'll be ready for the resorts to open.
Even though you will have a ski lift to carry you up the mountain, skiing requires muscle strength. Strength training consultant, Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., explains, "The body positions that provide the best combination of balance, stability, control and speed are those that require relatively high levels of muscle strength." Strength training exercises, a few times each week, will pay off on the mountain. Strong hamstrings, glutes, and quads will enable you make turns and keep balance. Strong arms can push for speed. Strong calves and knees lessen the likelihood of injury and a strong core protects the back. "The key to better skiing is greater muscle strength, pure and simple," promises Dr. Westcott.
These muscles are the most used in skiing and hold you in place as you glide down the mountain.
Glutes stabilize and give balance because you are typically leaning forward as you ski.
These muscles have the difficult job of trying to help you keep your legs together even though your skis have a tendency to drift apart.
Your stiff ski boots protect your ankles but the impact of the slopes is then transferred to your knees, which will require to be bent almost constantly while skiing. Because of the bent position required for skiing, your calves will also require strength.
The flexed position needed for skiing means your back has to work overtime to hold that position while the abs offer support your back and spine.
Your arms will get a major workout from pushing your poles to get you up inclines or flat stretches to the ski logdge. And, your arms will also help push you up when you fall.
Balance is essential for skiing. Strong leg muscles and a strong core are the foundation of balance.
Balance board: a few minutes each day on a balance board will not only improve balance, but also strengthen the core.
Slacklining: tie a rope between two trees 20-30 feet apart) Walk across the rope with ski poles for support.
Flexibility is crucial on the slopes, where, at any given time, your limbs may be extended four separate directions. Recent research suggests there is a such thing as being too flexible because it can lead to injuries. Keep in mind the focus of pre-season workouts should be overall fitness with emphasis on the muscle groups used in skiing. (Hint: you will likely use every muscle you have in skiing or boarding.) Stacy Ingraham, Professor of Kinesiology at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities explains, "...general fitness, rather than stretching, is a more important risk factor in injury prevention." In fact, says Dr. Ingraham, striving for flexibility beyond what is required of the sport "...is not beneficial and can actually cause injury and decrease performance."
So, if you aren't incredibly flexible don't fear. In practically every circumstance, gymnast-level flexibility isn't everything it's cracked up to be. Adequate flexibility is the goal. Research suggests more injuries occur in both people who are highly flexible and people who aren't very flexible. Researchers James Parrott and Xihe Zhu note that people with "average" flexibility tend to have fewer injury risks than people with too little or too much flexibility. Injuries occur in people who aren't very flexible because they have a very limited range of motion. The injuries in more flexible people may come because they push themselves and because their joints have too wide a range of motion, leading to injuries during falls. The lesson here? Know your strengths, weaknesses, and limitations.
The solution to the flexibility dilemma - Dynamic Stretching.
Some of the best kind of flexibility exercises to prepare for skiing are dynamic stretching. Dynamic stretching is stretching using movement. Parrot and Zhu recommend dynamic stretching for two reasons, "First, it moves the body through a wide [range of motion], thus maintaining or improving flexibility. Second, it can serve as a way to quickly warm up the body to perform activities that are more vigorous."
Because skiing involves weight-bearing, flexibility, and balance, dynamic stretching combined with cardio makes a wonderfully effective workout.
The two absolute best pre-season work outs are downhill hiking and mountain biking because they involve developing downhill balance while increasing strength and flexibility in the knees.
Hiking downhill is a good example of a dynamic stretching exercise that increases endurance, strength, balance, and flexibility. By working the quads in the upper thighs, and the calves in the lower legs, downhill hiking is an excellent preparation for skiing because skiing uses the same muscles.
Keep in mind, though, you must first hike uphill to gain the downhill hiking experience. Hiking uphill, you work your glutes while developing a true respect and appreciation for the ski lift. Hike uphill in the snow and you will realize the cost of a lift ticket is worth every dollar.
The other ideal pre-season workout is mountain biking. Spinning and road cycling are effective exercises for increasing endurance and quad strength, but mountain biking is a superior pre-season exercise because of the balance required. Mountain biking also requires more weight bearing to ascend hills, making it more intense than spinning and cycling.
Let's face it. It's hard to wait out the time between the first flurry and opening day at the ski resort. Preconditioning gives you a goal and something to do while you bide your time.

Larijani: Iran will suspend nuclear spot checks if threatened
Iran Focus: Tehran, Iran, Oct. 10 – Ali Larijani, secretary general of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said that he planned to formulate a new national security doctrine, state-run dailies reported on Monday. Iran Focus
Tehran, Iran, Oct. 10 – Ali Larijani, secretary general of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said that he planned to formulate a new national security doctrine, state-run dailies reported on Monday.
"Currently, we don't have a plan for national security", Larijani said, adding, "One of the projects we are following up is the formulation of a national security doctrine".
"Every country must have a national security doctrine and renew it over time", the SNSC chief said.
Larijani, a former General of the Revolutionary Guards and a protégé of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is a key ally of President Ahmadinejad. As secretary general of the SNSC, Larijani is in charge of Iran's nuclear negotiations with the West.
"If they speak to us with threatening language, we will resist", Larijani warned. "We will not leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty, but we will not accept the Additional Protocol", he stated referring to the agreement which gives international inspectors the ability to carry out spot inspections in the country.
Larijani said that Iran would accept certain points in the latest resolution adopted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), but other points would be rejected.
"We said that we have plans for [uranium"> enrichment. We will not back down from our decision even if they increase the cost of carrying out work at the Isfahan Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF). They know that Iran is serious".
"We have a particular program and do not want to delve into its details at present. However, this program has a set timeframe".
Larijani complained that international bodies had treated Tehran worse than North Korea. "North Korea, who is further ahead than us in nuclear technology and enrichment, has no problem with the Agency, but, with Iran, every day there is a problem".
Larijani also announced that senior nuclear negotiator Sirous Nasseri was no longer in the negotiations team. There has been speculation that Nasseri had fallen foul of Iran's leader after it emerged that he had ties to an oil company involved in dealings with a United States company with links to senior American officials.

INTERVIEW: David Holmes.
Where did you grow up?
I was actually born in Chelsea, I was then was taken to live in Ealing West London.
But from 1940 for four years, thanks to Adolf Hitler and his bombs and rockets, I was sent rather disruptively all over the place.
Long Crendon, Denbighshire and Farnborough.
But mainly I lived in Ealing, Harrow and Rayners Lane until permanently settling in Ealing.
But now that I'm really grown up I also have a studio in Primrose Hill.
Did you do National Service?
I did, I found myself in The ROAC, The Royal Army Ordnance Corps, from 1952 for two years and stationed in Loton Park Sub Depot; that's near Shrewsbury.
I was put in charge of the ration stores and driven around Shropshire collecting the base's meat, veg. and cream cakes.
Not particularly exciting, I think the expression is/was a cushy number.
Unlike other squaddies posted there who found themselves lugging chemical canisters about from one Nissen hut to another all day. Something to do with the Americans.
Even now I can't find out what exactly went on at Loton Park.
I know I ate well.
Where did you go to Art College?
Ealing Technical College & School of Art, it's now The University of West London.
Basically it was a foundation course, I was there for two years from 1947/8.
What were you hoping to be at this point?
I had no idea.
There was no guidance or even suggestions.
It was a general course; technical drawing, lettering, photography, still life drawing, wood work and so on.
So how did you end up in advertising?
After being interviewed by a disinterested print company and talking to The Daily Mirror having been introduced by my Dad, I aimlessly pounded the streets of London Town.
Strolling down Grosvenor Street I saw a brass sign: Colman Prentis & Varley Advertising.
I just walked in and eventually found myself in front of one Jack Beddington.
He took me on at £5 a week.
At the time, advertising was a bit of a crass business peopled by Martini drinking Army types wasn't it?
Yes to a degree on the account handling side anyway but the creative staff had to be first and foremost artistic.
The writers were all well educated, well spoken and from Oxbridge. That tended to rub off.
The creatives tended to look upon the account men – they were all men at that time – as toffs who were little more than privileged gentry.
I remember Lord Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu of Beaulieu was an account man, a pleasant fellow, but he came a cropper with something to do with Boy Scouts at his castle.
I also met Sir Sacheverell Reresby Sitwell there, another account man at CPV.
Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu of Beaulieu and Sir Sacheverell Reresby Sitwell?
They don't sound like the type of kids I grew up with.
What was your first role?
I worked in the library with Miss Davis, lettering magazine and newspaper titles.
In the bowels of the agency.
You couldn't get lower than that.
CPV's creative guru was Arpad Elfer.
What was like to work for?
I never actually worked with him.
I was just a junior at that time.
I was aware of his grouchy and somewhat belligerent nature.
In the lift, for example, he would make everyone go to the top, where he was going, even if they only wanted the 2nd floor.
That might be apocryphal but we all liked the idea.
Who was influencing your work at the time?
No one on my first stint there.
Even on my return from the army I had only the others in the CPV art department to look to.
I worked in Lyndsay Gutteridge's group, who'd had worked for F H K Henrion.
Peter Stillwell and Stan Coats also helped and were inspirational tome in different ways.
Stan was an aesthete and explained a lot about girls to me.
Was the great, notoriously grouchy Colin Millward there at the same time?
He was, but all I can remember was his good looking, baby face and his fresh and unusual creative work.
A quiet broody man I recall, admired by the other group heads and the senior writers.
Why leave for W.S. Crawfords?
It was the going belief that five years was enough time to spend in one place.
I'd heard of Crawfords and knew some of their work.
Like CPV it was a designee outfit, strong on visual solutions, Arty I suppose.
At the time I didn't realise that Varley had previously worked at Crawfords and had left under a bit of a cloud.
What was the difference between the two agencies?
There wasn't a great difference between the two agencies come to think of it, but there was one important similarity.
CPV had been dominated by Arpad Elfer, Crawfords had Ashley Havinden, tucked up in his garret.
I never ever saw him around the studio floor.
He was busy drawing his Ashley script for the Jaeger business and working directly with a few clients.
There were good people there and the work being produced was visually 'attractive'.
That's where I met Michael Manton, later to start KMP and Nick Salaman, later to work at Holmes Knight Ritchie.
It wasn't yet the great sixties, at that point we hadn't been exposed to the brilliance being done by Madison Ave, that was all about new, bold, brilliant writing, creativity, fun, marvelous art direction and ideas.
I left Crawfords for Mather & Crowther, mainly because Peter Stillwell now worked there, we were all still rather introverted.
Some good work was being done; The 'Go to work on an egg' campaign and the like.
It was a lively agency.
A lot of experimentation took place and I learnt a lot there from some heavyweight writers; Fay Weldon, Mary Gowing, Maurice Smelt and the pipe smoking Julian Orde.
John Webster and I first met there and became mates, whilst there we made some experimental 8mm movies, few people have ever seen.
Neither he nor I, or anyone for that matter, were aware of anything happening in the States we were having fun and testing our own abilities against each other.
Stanhope Shelton was the creative head.
None of us thought much of him, he was invariably negative and never as far as we could see, did anything good himself.
Little TV was being produced at the time so we didn't get to see the American commercials starting to be produced, it was still the early 60's.
I never met David Ogilvy, the time it was just 'Mather's'.
Back to Grosvenor Street?
Yes, CPV wanted me back.
At the same time I got offered a job by Colin Millward , who'd recently joined CDP.
I chose CPV, partly because the job description was 'art director'.
John Webster left too, he went off to Pritchard Wood.
This was my third time at CPV.
I was art group head this time.
Arpad had gone.
Colin Millward had gone.
Ron Collins was there.
I first met the writers Tony Chapman and Jeremy 'The Best Of The' Best there.
Freddie Ball joined from Mather's and he made me Head of At.
What accounts were you working on?
The Gas Council. Shell Petrol.
Central Office Of Information.
Army Officers Recruitment.
Macdonald's Biscuits.
The Conservative Central Office, I did two campaigns for them, not that I'm particularly right-wing, but they helped win one election and lose the other.
All press, print and poster work, no telly. Why join start up Kingsley Manton Palmer?
It was the 'five year rule' again, time to move.
I didn't see it at all as a risk, I knew Rosie Oxley from Mather's who knew Brian Palmer and she suggested I go and see them.
It was the first English open plan agency, it looked fresh and new.
David Kingsley was unlike any agency owner I had ever met; intelligent, serious, friendly, charming, workmanlike and sensitive to creativity.
I liked him at once.
Michael I knew from Crawfords, he was always polite, supportive and friendly to me, but could be extremely grouchy to others.
Brian was and is the epitome of all that is polite, well-meaning and steadfast.
Brian Palmer does not have the ability to become upset, let alone lose his temper.
He produced the first TV commercial in the UK at Y&R. They aren't really known today, but KMP were pretty revolutionary in the sixties?
KMP were alive and kicking in London at the same time the Mad Men were showing everyone how it should be done in New York. (By this time, we knew what was happening in America.)
They hired some good people and gave them their head.
It was the sixties and they ran with it.
That's were I met Roy Carruthers and gave Terry Gilliam his first illustrating job.
Mad marvelous times.
I love the White Horse campaign, so simple, so branded.
Brian Palmer wrote the line 'You Can Take A White Horse Anywhere', then got three art directors to visualise the line for posters and press.
That was a nice job to do, just thinking of locations and choosing a photographer.
It was all about photography.
I mainly liked to work with Peter Webb who is still taking pictures. How was life in a swinging sixties start-up?
Kaftans, marijuana, wall to wall mini-skirts?
They were the most wonderful years.
They were fun, experimental, optimistic, selfish, indulgent, irresponsibly wonderful and climatic years.
There was an atmosphere that made doing ads a joyous thing.
I can't recall using the term 'hard sell' ever and yet what we did sold.
There was nothing hard about it.
The best of all was that our clients wanted to join in and play too.
It seemed that everything we presented to them was not only approved, but approved with glee.
Yes, there were very, very long lunches.
There are wonderful stories from this time, too many and some too sensitive to reveal here. Everything seemed to smell so lovely too for some reason.
'Sex and Drugs and Rock an' Roll', yes, and love too.
Well, I never tried drugs and was more into Tamla Motown and Procol Harum.
It was 1967.
A very special time.
I love your Salvation Army work, it could run untouched tomorrow.
I read that the idea of a charity going to grubby world of ad agencies to help raise money was a controversial idea at the time? It was David Kingsley who found the Sally Ann business.
They needed £3m.
They had already raised a million themselves, the Government said it would cough up a million if the Army could raise one more million.
That's where KMP came in.
The Army were impressed with David K. and invited the agency to create a fund-raising campaign.
David K came up with the idea to sell Salvation Bonds for a pound.
Terence Griffin wrote 'For God's Sake Give Us A Pound'.
The Army thought Terence's line was a bit ungracious and heavy, it was changed to 'For God's Sake Care. Give Us a Pound'.
I lined up a group of photographers who worked for expenses only to cover the Sally Ann's UK work.
That group was phenomenal; Richard Avedon, David Bailey, Duffy, Terence Donovan, Eve Arnold, etc.
Did anyone say no?
Once Donovan and Avedon had said yes, whoever else I phoned just said OK.
I even had photographers ringing saying "Why haven't you asked me?''
Actually, Art Kane said no.
I sent him a layout, the one that Ray Rathborne ended up shooting, the dead child, he took ages to get back to me with an answer, then I finally got one: 'Dave…It's just not my day for dead kids'.
The Terrence Donovan one is my favourite, nice simple shot?
It was the only frame of film that worked, for some reason Terence shot every thing else from above, it looked good but you couldn't see that the young girl was pregnant.
I pleaded with him to take one side on, which he did, just the one, knocked it off really quickly.
What was Richard Avedon like to shoot with?
Quick, when we were shooting one of the ladies turned away from the camera, people were desperately trying to get her to turn to camera.
Avedon said 'leave her, it's ok', of course, that what makes the shot. Using such terrible type must've been so unusual at the time?
I just wanted it to look as if The Salvation Army had 'made' the ads themselves.
Not a posh London agency.
I used a rubber printing outfit for the typography.
It was the first time that had been done, that's what we seek, isn't it?
At the end of the campaign we had raised their million. Illustration was thrown out in favour of squared up photographs in the sixties, to emulate the classic New York ads of the period, 'drawings' were too reminiscent of the previous decade's ads, but you were commissioning lots?
I've always liked illustration in ads.
There are some brilliant illustrators out there.
So often an illustrator can give you more that you expect.
I think most art directors and editors these days are unaware of who is out there and available, there is a wealth of untapped talent not being used.
I think a lot of people are scared or are utterly clueless about how to use and work with illustrators, the greatest pity is that no one but no in fashion uses illustration which is more stylish and far more stylish.
Look at the thirties Vogue covers.
Today it is "Who shall we get to take the picture?" What's your favourite piece of illustration you've commissioned??
I've commissioned so much but I think it has to be Jean-Michel Folon and Milton Glaser and their illustrations for the Polydor salute the BeeGees issue of Billboard magazine in 1978. These drawings are in my 'David's Book' to be published in 2016.
Whose work did you admire at the time?
Milton Glaser and The Push Pin designers. Jean Michel Folon of course. Then nearer home there was Edward Ardizzone.
Jillian Richards,
Graham Scarfe,
James Lloyd,
Roy Carruthers. 1971 you join The Television Department, what was that?
It was set up by Adrian Rowbotham ex-head of TV at JWT, Tim Emanuel and Nick Salaman. They acted as the TV department to agencies that had no TV set-up, like Saatchi at the time.
I joined to partner Nick Salaman.
They were increasingly getting press and print work with no one to do it and I wanted to be proprietorial, although I had been made a partner at the then KMP Partnership.
It just seemed as though it would, could, become big.
Adrian should write about it, it's a good story full of memorable anecdotes.
That was were I first met Peter Shiach the owner of The Macallan in 1973 I think it was.
In 1975 you set up your own business, David Holmes & Partners. Why?
Again, sovereignty. I had the confidence to have a go.
Which clients did you work for during this period?
Various. I was asked to design an award for The London Television Advertising Awards.
I gave them a gold silver and bronze arrow.
It's now called The Arrow Awards.
I worked for The Macallan Malt Whisky and various agencies, JWT and Greys for example.
Oh yes, I did some more fund-raising for the Salvation Army.
How did that evolve into Holmes Knight Ritchie?
I was approached by a previous work colleague who said that Dick Knight was looking for a creative partner to join him at his fairly new agency.
I wasn't sure it was for me, the office looked crap and one of the clients was Dyno-Rod.
Dick though was persistent and said he would give me 50% of the agency even though I could only bring in The Macallan, The Salvation Army and bits and pieces.
Dick Knight is the most persuasive man I have ever met.
I joined.
After a few months the agency name was changed to Holmes Knight Ritchie once Alistair joined from Greys.
In the seventies advertising seemed to look down on design, but HKR did both, possibly a 360 communication before the term was invented?
Design is important everywhere and on everything, advertising design has been my job.
The Macallan was one of the early accounts my agency won, so holds a place in my heart, but they wouldn't shut up about you, Nick Salaman and the campaign you created.
They were worried the illustration didn't feel 'whisky' enough, so we did a brown version.
That was the one that ran.
It's a longish story. In 1973 Peter Shiach the then chairman of Macallan came to see Nick Salaman and me at The Television Dept. in Wardour St.
He said he wanted a brochure to announce to the world that The Macallan was now ready, having stocked enough, to sell worldwide. They needed to appoint distributors. Hence the 'brochure' to send to probables.
I gave them the artist's portfolio style folder with loose pages. I sent Sara Midda to the distillery for a week and record everything as an artist's journal. (The people who make whisky are artists in their way.)
That worked, they got their distributors.
It was Sara's first job from college at St. Martins. I don't think we ever used photography for Macallan it would have burst the magical promise of the brand.
They've stuck with me like glue ever since.
I'm still helping them today. How did you manage to persuade Peter Blake to work with you on The Macallan?It was Allan Shiach the Macallan Chairman who had the idea of Peter making a label for a 60 year-old Macallan.
There was only enough whisky left in the cask for 10 bottles. I helped Peter finish the label graphics. You hired and trained a young spoon whittler called Mark Reddy?
Not only a spoon whittler, a flint tapper and saxophonist.
He was already good but he got even better with us.
He left once and returned because he loved our artistic sensitivity towards the ads we put together, he was protected and encouraged.
Mark and I think alike. I would trust him with anything. You hired and trained a young cigar muncher called Neil French?
Frenchie, yes he was a great find for us.
He reckons he wasn't much good before he joined us. That's a lie, he was always good at what he was doing, he's a natural ideas machine; quick, decisive and bold.
Too damn bold on one occasion while with us.
Meticulous and Assured, Neil is a one man orchestra; better than that because he will write the score and the libretto too.
I didn't actually train him I just hovered around while he gradually caught on, and caught up and took off.
Like unchaining a Bull Dog in one respect and releasing a caged bird in another.
Neil was like having a Victoria Wood on the payroll.
If it wasn't for Mr French I would never have spent a happy eighteen months in Singapore and still have connections there.
When I got into the business in 1985, HKR seemed like it didn't follow the D&AD obsessed pack, it just did its own, idiosyncratic, stylish thing?
We could have put more work in but quite frankly we were too busy.
We were really, really busy and I had got my stuff in so many books in the past anyway. Sophie's Choice time: Who's the most creative person you've ever worked with?
John, John Webster.
As far as TV is concerned that is, I don't think he did much print although we both won a poster award together once.
It takes a lot of confidence as an art director, when needing an illustrator for your work to shun the world's illustrators and choose…yourself.
Sometimes I can't afford others. Just have to get out the paints and do it.
There are some jobs I would never attempt, I would put on my art directors hat and know exactly who I would use. You worked with the typographer Pete Woods?
Pete is special, very special, he opened my eyes.
I miss working with him but he went off to the States I think. What did you see in the young Trevor Beattie, you made him the youngest creative director in London, at 12 years old?
We liked his risky, ballsy nerve.
At HKR the creatives were given freedom, I very seldom interfered and certainly never played the interfering busybody.
Come to think of it now, I was a sort of Arpad or Ashley, tucked away doing my things and only being there if the creatives needed help or my opinion.
Trevor was ambitious and you have to encourage that.
He didn't intimidate me, on the contrary I had had my turn and was happy to move along the bench and give him space.
It has gone full circle for me, like a wheel within a wheel.
It's what has to happen to all of us if we are artistic, we move along, move round, make room.
I'm not sure if it will happen exactly that way to young Beattie. Off to Singapore and life as an ex-pat?
I wasn't sure if it was the thing to do. Frenchies idea.
The plan was to step into his shoes for two weeks while he was on holiday.
When I got there and phoned the agency – Bateys, they told me he had gone, left, resigned. It was sorted out.
They approved of me and I did two weeks.
Nice people.
A complete change and it was always delightfully warm.
I was invited to stay for longer and after some umming and ahhing I did go and stayed for eighteen months working on The Singapore Tourist Promotion Board, Singapore Airlines and the relaunch of the refurbished Raffles Hotel which opened its doors again in 1991. Why switch to illustration?
You can't linger in advertising at my age it would be unseemly.
I was invited by Brian's Central Illustration Agency to join their listing so I did.
Once a dauber always a dauber and illustration is only a brush stroke away from painting which I did from an early age.
Even now I get work in The RA Summer Show but I may not bother any more now that paintings are judged by computer.
A bad process unless you have RA after your name which I do not.
My working life story is far too complex to detail here so I am putting a book together which will be published later this year, that's 2016, it's simply titled "David's Book". What can you tell me about Brian Grimwood? Who?
Oh you mean Bertie, my agent with the 'thirty-for-Bertie' arrangement.
Brian started The CIA, now managed by Benjamin Cox.
Yes we've been chums for ages.
We found ourselves in Singapore judging the Singapore Gong Show Advertising Awards in 1984 with Ron Mather, Jack Vaughan and Jeff Stark.
That was an adventure.
Since then we have been invited back to The Far East and beyond to give talks.
We have also been asked to design and draw Raffles Hotel posters and other material so we find ourselves back and forth to the hotel to work.
Brian has been so successful and sought after because he is so versatile. He can draw quickly, and have ideas quickly.
We did a stand up at a college once and blithely said to the assembled class we will solve your project here, now, on the blackboard.
We did, Brian drew an illustration in seconds to illustrate it to an audience of stunned students, it was a good idea.
We seem to encourage each other, Brian has an excellent built in shit detector, excuse the language.
In Singapore we are known as Cecil & Bertie when we are called to do stand-up presentations.https://youtu.be/QDqBPBHB1SQWho's the best person you've ever hired?
Difficult to say, but I suppose the best person I never hired was John Hegarty.
He came in and showed me his work, but I had to turn him away, we didn't need anyone.
Lastly, how did you come to start designing stamps?
That was thanks to David Hillman.
He was approached by The Royal Mail to design the stamps and had commissioned me previously to draw one of the Olympic stamps back in 2012 so he knew I could cut the mustard I think.
The Royal Mail was asked the same question 'why David Holmes?' They said, 'partly because of his advertising background and the disciplines involved'.
It took two years to complete.
Several committees and quite a few alterations.
I could not have done it without Toby my son.
I drew all the figures an artwork as water-colour illustrations.
Toby as a digital artist moved things about from time to time to make them work to the small size.
The backgrounds in some cases are computerised to get the bright colour.
There were too many adjustments being made for me to redraw each time so Toby played an important part in the finished image.

I worked at CPV from 64-67. They were heady days for a young man starting out. There was a lot of talent in Davids group – Ross Thompson, Anne Redvers Mutton to name but two.CPV was a great place to begin in advertising.
Jennifer Abbott says:
I was his assistant at KMP on the Salvation Army, He was great to work for/ with and I spent a lot of time meeting people like Major Nutty in the Lyceum Ballroom or getting nits out of kids' hair in the east end. Best of all though was the shoot with Richard Alvedon. We waited for the (female) Sally Army officer to turn up . She was late and he had a shoot for Vogue lined up. He said "If the little girl doesn't come soon, you're gonna have to put the uniform on" I thought , "Oh god, there goes my street cred"…… Luckily, she turned up.

Science Technology On the technologies of the future (11 photos)
On the technologies of the future (11 photos)
by RAU on Monday, January 11, 2016 in Science, Technology
Modern science and advanced technology of the future have reached a level of development that will allow us in the near future to get a supernatural physical and mental superpowers any fiction superhero.
The following eleven devices invented by scientists and innovators, just beyond the boundaries of our notions of human capabilities:
1. Flying at an altitude of 2.5 km
While technically this device may be regarded as "experimental Microlights," the company «Martin Aircraft Company» New Zealand has no doubt that now, thanks to their invention, people will be able to fly.
Soon new aircraft «Martin Jetpack» will be available for sale for 200 000 dollars.According to the calculations of developers Martin Jetpack can reach speeds of 100 kilometers per hour and rise to a height of 2.5 kilometers and stay in the air for half an hour.
2. Telekinesis
Two companies - Neurosky and MC10 created unit that will manage a variety of objects by thought. The device will operate on the principle of well-known EEG brain using "neural dust" - tiny chip that is implanted under the skin. Thus, we will soon be able to include, say, a coffee maker, just thinking about it while lying on the couch.
3. Predicting the future
New software called «Recorded Future» stores about 100 million events from the past, present and future. This technology uses algorithms to compile and analyze all information, as well as to predict possible future developments.
Of course, this product could not be interested marketers, investors and security services in order to be able to predict the future. The Pentagon has also launched its own project, which uses the same data in real time to study the reaction of individuals and crowds on certain situations in the future.
4. Invisibility Cloak
The legendary invisibility cloak, being part of the pop culture, has now become closer to reality than we might assume. Scientists from the military and research institutions are working on a device that is able to refract light around the object that will allow him to get out of sight.
5. Acute hearing
The severity of hearing loss in dogs is far superior to ours. They can distinguish between the very high frequencies - up to 45 kHz, and coyotes - right up to 80 kHz.
There is good news for people who are jealous of the ability of animals. London company «Industrial Facility» is developing a new device called "super-degree beam." It is similar to ordinary glasses and has four microphones that create a three-dimensional hearing, so people will be able to hear the coyotes.
6. Mind reading
Who would not want to be able to read the thoughts of, for example, your boss or lover? Such a device would be able to open up unlimited possibilities of man. At the same time, this is not always able to apply exclusively to good use.
However, this did not prevent the team of scientists from Yale University to try to read the thoughts of his subjects using a brain scan, which allows to reconstruct the images, resulting in a person's head on the basis of neural activity.
One of the study's lead author Alan Cohen noted that further development of this technology can be useful in the study of consciousness of people with autism, with racial and gender bias or being drugged.
7. Superhuman Strength / Speed
The company «Raytheon» presented its new development - the exoskeleton through which a person with the most mediocre physique will be able to lift up to 90 kg of weight a few hundred times, without expending much effort. This suit can be easily punch a fist pack of four trёhsantimetrovyh boards.
And that's just the beginning. The emergence of nanotechnology and materials, such as graphene arsenide and cadmium, we stand on the threshold of the "golden age" exoskeletons and inhuman abilities.
8. Breathing under water or artificial gills
For diving enthusiasts, this new product will probably be the most anticipated.Named «Like-A-Fish» («like a fish"), this system enables the gill to extract oxygen directly from seawater.
Developer artificial gills Alon Izhar-Bodner offered to reduce the pressure of sea water in a sealed chamber. This will restore the dissolved oxygen in the water in the gaseous state. Carbon dioxide is released when pressure is reduced when the cover is opened. The thus obtained oxygen enters the oxygen cylinder.
9. Bionic vision and the vision of microscopic objects
Currently, researchers at Washington University are developing bionic contact lens that is expected to help the visually impaired, as well as give an opportunity for people with good eyesight to see that it is difficult to visually perceive.
The lenses will be equipped with a navigation system, Internet access, and even games. This development is something will remind "smart glasses» Google Glass, only bionic lens will be much more advanced.
However, science does not dwell on this: now the Tokyo-based company «JEOL» microscope designs that will allow us to increase the facilities of 50 million times their original size.
10. Walking on the walls
The new invention of scientists from Cornell University, which will feel like a hero sci-fi movie will be called "quick adhesion." It controls the surface tension to occur adhesion to any surface. Probably Cosplay Superman coming soon to a new level.
Nigel Kerner made a fantastic chip called the «Soul Catcher 2025" ("Soul Catcher 2025"), which will be implanted in the skull behind the eyes to record feelings and even thoughts of a man.
Dr Chris Winter of «British Telecom» believes that this technology in conjunction with advanced biogenetics someday allow a person to recreate physically, emotionally and spiritually, that is, in fact, will create a kind of database of all human knowledge.

If you didn't catch any of the recent London Underground documentary on BBC2, I strongly advise you to do so.
For those living in London, or at all interested in technology/architecture, it makes for absolutely fascinating viewing — documentary filmmaking at its best. Catch the whole lot on iPlayer while you can.
Stupidly awesome photography from Cristoffer Rudquist. I like his Japan series especially — really makes me want to fly to Tokyo with a camera.
Photos taken on a road trip to Bruges, Amsterdam, and Brussels.
I walked past the TfL Lost Property office at Baker Street the other day and they currently have a lovely display in the window of items found on London transport from the 30s-90s. There's some really awesome technological relics in there, like VHS cameras and early mobile phones. A nice touch from TFL.
My friend Thom has just uploaded some nice photos from Doha and Dubai to his Flickr page. Check them out here.
This is a great little exhibition at the V&A, chronicling the work of architect Charles Holden for the London Underground in the early 20th Century. Working closely with Frank Pick, Holden's practice designed some of the most beautiful stations on the network, such as Southgate & Arnos Grove, and also the TfL headquarters at 55 Broadway. The show has an abundance of sketches, plans and models, and also features some beautiful graphics and ephemera from the era.
Until February 13 2011, free admission. More here.


Our simulations thus suggest that language, and possibly other aspects of culture, may become simpler at the structural level as our world becomes increasingly interconnected.
The conservatives and center-left suffered huge losses while the right-wing populist AfD became Saxony's most powerful party. We analyzed the data so you don't have to.
As traditional European conservatives were pushed Left-ward by media and academic communities on immigration and social and religious rights, the vacuum was filled by the rise of blut-und-boden far right parties all across Europe. In a Sophoclean twist of fate, the European political center and center-Left is now dying, thanks to the very person that liberals like to portray as the "new leader" of the free world.
The collapse of coalition talks bodes badly for Angela Merkel, and for democratic governments everywhere.
Are the grievances tearing our societies apart at this hyper-polarized moment insurmountable? A week with some AfD voters and politicians gave me a measure of hope.
More importantly, a generous welfare state appears at best to be an inadequate solution to the problems and pathologies of checker-boarded economic dislocation. The pesky question of dignity remains: Despite what boosters of a universal basic income try to tell us, our modern sense of purpose and identity remains closely tied to what we "do" for a living. Making disempowered people more comfortable does not necessarily make them less frustrated.
But since when are openness, cosmopolitanism, and diversity intrinsic to a complete definition of liberalism? They make no significant appearance in any of the foundational texts of liberal political thought. They are merely the product of the demands that globalization and urbanization places upon us "anywheres", which we in turn try to wedge into the liberal canon in order to erase any discomfort we may feel about change pulling the ideological rug out from under our feet. Historical accounts of earlier periods of urbanization are rightly dispassionate in describing people flocking to cities out of economic want. And they correctly identify the emergence of the middle class and its attendant values as the product of complex factors interacting in these new circumstances. We instead now disfigure analysis into a form or moral self-congratulation.

When director Tim Burton's Dark Shadows hits movie theaters this week, Johnny Depp fans will be thrilled. Once again, the versatile Depp proves himself a chameleon and "becomes" his character. Non-Depp fans, however, may not be pleased; Burton's film renders the legendary character of Barnabas Collins unrecognizable.
The original Dark Shadows, created by Dan Curtis, was an American Gothic soap opera that aired on ABC from 1966 until 1971. Despite its melodramatic performances and otherworldly plot, the show became a cult classic with a die-hard fan base that persists to this day. The fictional Barnabas/Josette/Angelique triangle that began in the "Old House" in 1795 was Gothic romance at its best. If you don't know what I'm talking about, and Collinwood is unfamiliar to you, or if you are "into" vampires, thanks to the recent Twilight series, you may enjoy Tim Burton's latest creation. If the Dark Shadows trailer is an indication of what's to come, fans of the original Gothic television series may be disappointed.
In Tim Burton's interpretation of Dark Shadows, Johnny Depp's Barnabas Collins is a cross between Willy Wonka and Beetlejuice. The movie skips the infamous Barnabas/Josette/Angelique romantic triangle that drew viewers to the fictional classic in the first place. While Burton's sets are stunning and the special effects are great (love the way Depp/Barnabas flies up out of his coffin), this is not your mother's Dark Shadows, nor is this film a remake. Rather, it is a recreation, a new twist, on the old series. Not too much in Burton's film will be familiar to fans of the Dan Curtis' series (except a few familiar faces of original cast members featured in cameos).
Thanks to Tim Burton and Johnny Depp (who admits to being a huge fan of the series, specifically the character of Barnabas Collins), a new generation will be introduced to the saga of the Collins family. I wish, however, they had produced a serious movie rather than a spoof, a comedy, but Burton obviously knows his audience well and created this new Collinwood for the younger movie goer with money to burn rather than for a nostalgic, older generation.
The only reason for non-Depp/Burton followers to watch this new Dark Shadows is to see original series actors David Selby, John Karlen, Marie Wallace, the late Jonathan Frid, and my favorites, Kathryn Leigh Scott and Lara Parker, in their cameos. It certainly wouldn't be to revisit the classy, tortured Barnabas Collins created by Jonathan Frid; the modern Barnabas is lighthearted and downright clownish. I suppose that's what happens when a director puts a comedic spin on the Gothic, but fans of the original series hoping for the "flavor of old" would do better reading Lara Parker's Dark Shadows books or Kathryn Leigh Scott's Dark Passages.

Columbia College Grad Combines Love for Hockey, Kids
By Christy Lyons on May 17, 2010
Avid hockey fan Carly Pribich was simply browsing through the Chicago Wolves Web site when she found something that really caught her eye. There was a job opening at the Kids Zone, a kids' entertainment center that runs during all home Wolves games. It was the last day to apply, so Pribich took a shot.
It has now been 2 1/2 years since Carly Pribich, 24, got the job with the Wolves, and it has opened her up to multiple other job opportunities, including an internship and a small job with the White Sox. It could also open doors for a career in sports marketing.
The Kids Zone offers multiple activities for kids during home Wolves games. "Kids can shoot pucks, take pictures in cut-outs and play games," Pribich said.
Parents can drop their kids off at the start of the game and the Kids Zone activities run until the start of the third period. There are also Saturday fun festivals for ticket holders, who can spend time with their kids at the Allstate Arena doing things like bags, face painting, and even trying on hockey equipment.
Growing up, Pribich was always a hockey fan. Her father is a longtime Blackhawks fan who has season tickets every year and loved to bring her along. "Carly really enjoys the game and understands it completely," her father, John Pribich, said. "She's been going to home Blackhawks games with me for 10 years now."
Her cousin, Alyse Howard, remembers Pribich always being into sports when she was growing up. "When she was little, she was always a tomboy," Howard said.
Pribich later ditched the tomboy look but kept the love for sports. "I've always been in love with two things – make-up and hockey," Pribich explained. It was while she was employed at Ulta, a beauty store, that she finally thought about her future involving hockey. She had tons of ideas for promoting and at the time, hockey was not as popular as it now is. "I was like, you know what? I could get paid for this," Pribich remembers.
From then on, Pribich focused on trying to find job opportunities in hockey. After taking courses at College of DuPage, she transferred to Columbia College Chicago to pursue a degree in marketing with an emphasis on sports. In September 2007, she found the Kids Zone job on the Chicago Wolves site while still taking classes at Columbia. She graduated in May 2009. Although she would like a full-time job, seeing as the Kids Zone job is just part-time, Pribich finds this job to be one of the best part-time jobs she could hope for. "They treat you really well and I get free tickets to every game," she said.
The job at the Kids Zone has opened Pribich up to many other opportunities as well. "One day, I just offered to help and I was made the community relations intern," she recalls. It was a paid intern position and Pribich dealt with not only office work, but also many mascot appearances. She would go to local rinks and guide the mascot around to say hello to fans. Pribich was also in charge of preparing new player welcome packages and decided to revamp the whole thing. New players were given lists of different hot spots, such as clubs, malls and restaurants, so they would have an easier time adjusting to living in a new place.
During the 2008 season, Pribich worked for the White Sox on top of her Wolves job. She was a member of the Pride Crew, a group of girls who handed out promotional prizes during home games at US Cellular Field. "The main reason I got that job was because of the Wolves job," Pribich said.
Her sister, Dana Pribich, thinks the job is a perfect fit for Carly. "She has a lot of experience with [babysitting] kids, so she's good at it," Dana explained. Of course, Dana and her parents love the perks of Carly's job, such as the free tickets and getting tours of the arena. In regard to Carly's future jobs, Dana is positive she will find something with her degree. "She would be good with marketing because she's assertive, but not pushy," Dana said.
Howard also thinks Carly Pribich is right at home working for the Wolves. "She is great with kids and knows her sports so I think it's a great job for her," Howard said. Howard has no doubt Pribich will make it in the marketing world. "She is very good at persuading someone to buy something," Howard stated. "She has a very professional manner about her when it comes to any job that she does."
Could this part-time job be the start of Carly Pribich's marketing career in hockey? John Pribich has no doubt his daughter will find something in the marketing aspect of the game. "She would be a nice fit on the marketing end for any sports related game," he said. "She's aware of what a fan would want to see so she knows how fan interaction can benefit the team."
Katie Schwebel, Pribich's cousin, thinks that Pribich has the right combination to take lead in a career in marketing. "She is so passionate about the sport and has the type of personality that everyone loves," Schwebel said. "She's very easy to get along with and is a very intelligent person."
Carly Pribich hopes to move into marketing soon, but her only worry is the schedule for the job. "You have to start with ticket sales and work your way up," she explained. "I would work the regular nine-to-five hours in addition to every home game. I wouldn't get a day off," she said. There are usually two to three home games per week from October until April, even more if the team makes it into the playoffs. For now, the Kids Zone job is just right for Carly Pribich. "Carly has a real knack for what she does," her sister, Dana, said. " I hope that bigger opportunities will come her way because I know she will succeed."

An ex-basketball coach at Albert Einstein Academy in Santa Clarita pleaded no contest Monday to sexually molesting six teenaged boys, prosecutors announced.
Randolph Jackson, 29, pleaded no contest to nine counts, including one felony count each of continuous sexual abuse, oral copulation of a person under 16 and lewd act on a child, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
Jackson entered his plea right before jury selection was set to begin, according to Deputy District Attorney Reinhold Mueller, who is prosecuting the case.
•RELATED STORY: Coach from Santa Clarita's Albert Einstein Academy extradited on molestation changes
Jackson, who is due to be sentenced on June 1, is expected to receive 17 years and eight months in state prison and ordered to register as a sex offender for life.
He admitted to molesting six boys between the ages of 13 and 17 between Nov. 2010 and Jan. 2015 at various locations in Los Angeles, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said he met the victims while working as a basketball coach at Albert Einstein Academy, a public charter school, and another school. Before his plea, he had faced more than 30 years in state prison, prosecutors have said.
A probe began Feb. 3 when the Los Angeles Police Department's Sexually Exploited Child Unit "received reports regarding inappropriate conduct" between Jackson and several minors. After a felony warrant was issued for Jackson's arrest, he fled the Southland. He was extradited from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles after he was found on Feb. 18 and arrested, according to Los Angeles police.
The District Attorney's office had no comment Monday, said spokeswoman Jane Robison. Administrators of the public charter school could not immediately be reached for comment.
At least some of the crimes occurred in the San Fernando Valley community of Tujunga, according to Los Angeles police.

Instant Hotel
SheSociety
It will come as no surprise to viewers that the number one requisite for contestants in Seven's new reality show Instant Hotel, is cleanliness.
Just the slightest coating of dust, hidden or not, or smudge of something, even inside a bathroom cabinet, and it will be pointed out and commented on not only by the official judge but fellow contestants. And then, horror of horrors, what started out as someone proudly showing off their home, will have the potential of becoming a monumental embarrassment for all Australia to see.
Those moments, mixed with the elation of owners getting nothing but praise for their homes-come-hotels are what Instant Hotel host Luke Jacobz says will define the show. Tapping into the worldwide trend of homeowners renting out their homes as holiday accommodation, Instant Hotel will see 10 teams of two competing for the title of Best Instant Hotel.
The 10 "hotels" are located all over Australia including three in Queensland – Cairns, Gold Coast and Brisbane. They will be scored on: the house, location, nearby attractions, value for money and the all-important quality of a good night's sleep.
Luke,who is well-known to Australian audiences for his work on Home and Away, The X Factor and Dancing with the Stars (which he won in 2008), is full of praise for the show's judge Juliet Ashworth an award-winning designer, who has worked on over 100 projects across Australia and Asia.
He said he didn't think the former editor-in-chief of Vogue Magazine and now partner and creative director of an internationally noted design company, specialising in luxury hotels and resorts, was a "harsh" judge. "I think she is really fair with her three main requirements being cleanliness, cleanliness and cleanliness. She just points out the obvious," he said.
A splash of sauce on the ceiling of a microwave is not missed. Luke said he was keen for viewers to see what lengths teams went to in transforming their homes to give their competitors a taste of that hotel experience. "It's going to be great to be a fly-on-the-wall, when personal taste is not to everyone's taste," he said.
"It's more what people think of other people's houses and if they put their noses up and say 'this is terrible', the people on the show love to give their opinion."
"You ask them 'what do you think about it? And sometimes their answers we may not be able to print'."
As for Luke's taste in hotels, he likes them to be central, have a pool and a gym. As for hotel no-nos, he has a few, including Queen and King-sized beds that have two smaller mattresses side by side on the top. And he thinks all hotel rooms should have Wifi and "throw in free in-house movies rather than charging $14 for just one".
Juliet said she had stayed in several home stay properties around the world-some fantastic and some not so fantastic.
"So I think this is a great opportunity to show people who are wanting to rent out their own home, what works and what doesn't," she said.
"I'll be judging the overall experience – was it ghastly or would I go back? Everyone has different ideas on what makes a stylish home but, when you're charging people to stay there, certain rules must apply."

BitClub Network
Type of alert:
Four men responsible for orchestrating the $722 million BitClub Network cryptocurrency fraud have been arrested. Jobadiah Sinclair from Arvada, Colorado and Matthew Brent Goettsche from Lafayette, Colorado were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, while Joseph Frank Abel of Camarillo, California, was also charged with conspiracy to offer and sell unregistered securities. Silviu Catalin Balaci faced similar charges. The maximum penalty for wire fraud charges is 25 years in prison and $250,000 in fines for each charge.
The BitClub Network was established in 2014 as a purported bitcoin mining investment opportunity as "the most innovative and lucrative way to earn bitcoin." The U.S. Justice Department's indictment, however, identified BitClub Network as a Ponzi scheme with Sinclair, Goettsche, Abel, and Balaci stealing millions from investors and even used the term "Ponzi" in correspondence. Moreover, the men attempted to sell shares in BitClub Network without registering the offering with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Q: Record document search in SharePoint 2013 I've number of site collections where all documents are stored and IM policy is applied to move document to record center. Once document is moved to record center short cut(stub) icon is available at original document library and SharePoint convert document original location to aspx page (same name as document name) saying document is moved to record center on so and so date.
Now when user search for document it returns two results, one is short cut (as a .aspx page not with original file extension) and another is from record center.
What I want do is:
When user search for record document then it should return only one document and appear as normal document with pad lock(record icon) result instead of .aspx result. And on mover hover (search result display templates for short cut (stub)) it should display URL to record document in record center and record date.
Any Idea how we can achieve it?

Carter says US Secretary Rice "not telling truth"
(Adds White House comment, paragraphs 10-13)
By Matthew Bigg
ATLANTA, April 23 (Reuters) - Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Wednesday accused Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice of not telling the truth about warnings she said her department gave Carter not to speak to Hamas before a Middle East trip.
The State Department has said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State David Welch, the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, issued the warning before Carter, a veteran of Middle East diplomacy, went on his trip last week.
Rice said in Kuwait on Tuesday: "We counseled President Carter against going to the region and particularly against having contact with Hamas."
"President Carter has the greatest respect for ... Rice and believes her to be a truthful person. However, perhaps inadvertently, she is continuing to make a statement that is not true," a statement issued by the Carter center in Atlanta said on Wednesday.
"No one in the State Department or any other department of the U.S. government ever asked him (Carter) to refrain from his recent visit to the Middle East or even suggested that he not meet with Syrian President (Bashar) Assad or leaders of Hamas," it said.
It said Carter attempted to call Rice before making the trip and a deputy returned his call since Rice was in Europe.
"They had a very pleasant discussion for about 15 minutes, during which he never made any of the negative or cautionary comments described above. He never talked to anyone else," the statement said.
Carter had already on Monday, in an interview with National Public Radio, described as "absolutely false" any suggestion he had been warned not to meet Hamas.
"PRIVATE CITIZEN"
"The United States is not going to deal with Hamas and we certainly told President Carter that we did not think that meeting with Hamas was going to help the Palestinians," Rice said Tuesday while attending a conference in Kuwait.
The White House backed Rice and said events after Carter's meeting showed Hamas' true character.
Carter "is a private citizen and he made a decision to not comply with what the State Department asked him to do," White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters on Wednesday.
Perino made an apparent reference to an attack on Saturday in which a Palestinian suicide bomber and two other gunmen were killed when they attacked a border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel, wounding 13 Israeli soldiers.
"Actions speak louder than words," said Perino of Hamas.
Hamas, which controls Gaza, is viewed as a terrorist organization by the United States, the European Union and Israel.
Carter, who met Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Syria over the weekend, is trying to draw the Islamist group into peace talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
But Rice and other senior U.S. officials are concerned that Carter's meeting could confuse U.S.-brokered peace talks already moving at a slow pace between Abbas and Olmert.
Hamas won a 2006 election and briefly formed a unity government with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. It seized control of Gaza from Abbas' secular Fatah faction in fighting in June. (Editing by Tom Brown)

The story:
Freddie Timms began painting in 1986, inspired by the elder artists already painting at Frog Hollow, a small outstation attached to the community at Warmun, Turkey Creek. Born at Police Hole c.1946, he followed in his father's footsteps, following the stockman life at Lissadell Station. At the age of twenty, he set out to explore and work on other stations. It was during this time that he met and worked alongside Rover Thomas who was to have a lasting influence on him. In 1985, he left Lissadell once more to settle at the new community established at Warmun where he worked as a gardener at the Argyle Mine. In a career that spanned more than 20 years, Freddy Timms became known for aerial map-like visions of country that are less concerned with ancestral associations than with tracing the responses and refuges of the Gija people as they encountered the ruthlessness and brutality of colonisation. However, his political nature is characterised by more intimate interpretations of the experience rather than overtly political statements. Freddie Timms is foremost amongst those Gija artists of the second generation. His was unique Gija perspective on the history of white interaction with his people. It is hard to think of another who expressed more poignantly through their art the sense of longing and the abiding loss that comes from the separation from land that embodies one's spiritual home.

Gallery Onetwentyeight is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of the work of photographer Max Fujishima. The exhibition, entitled "Wish You Were Here—New York to Egypt and beyond," opens on January 31.
Fujishima captures and expresses the relentless flow of time, and the moments that exist in the interface between the photographer and the subject on the other side of the lens.
There is a consistency to the creative style and world view that flows through his diverse themes, no matter what the subject of his lens happens to be; nature, cities, or dolls. He does not construct a set, nor does he insert anything into his pictures or otherwise manipulate them, preferring instead to capture the subject as it is, illuminated by whatever natural light is available.
More than 50 photographs will be displayed in this exhibition. The subjects are the Empire State Building, the Pyramids and Caribbean, each of which is a structure that soars above its surrounding environment.
"Wish You Were Here," an extraordinary series that constitutes Fujishima's life work, began as a series of photographs of the Empire State Building, captured from another high-rise over the course of 20 years.
is far beyond what I had imagined," Fujishima says. "I felt that I was catching a glimpse of time from an ancient era." Despite the 100-degree heat, he became absorbed in photographing them.
"Wish You Were Here—New York to Egypt and beyond" expresses the profound relationship formed in precious moments between the photographer and his subject.
Max Fujishima was born in Mie Prefecture, Japan. He is a graduate of visual design from the Department of Fine Arts and Crafts at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. While working as the creative director of an advertising agency, he pursued photography on the side before devoting himself to it full time in 2003. Since then, he has continued the energetic pursuit of his creative activities.

Sweet November Parent Guide
Overall C-
Can sex with a quirky woman for a month solve a man's obsession with himself and his work? This tearjerker wants us to buy into the plan, but neglects to include some of the consequences of joining the "Man-A-Month" club.
Violence B
Sexual Content D+
Profanity C-
Why is Sweet November rated PG-13? The MPAA rated Sweet November PG-13 for sexual content and language. (Previously rated R in 2000).
A woman once told me she wished she could marry every man she meets for half an hour… just long enough to make his life wonderful. However, my years of chuckling over her comment turned to astonishment after seeing Sweet November, a movie that proposes a similar plan.
After busy ad exec Nelson (Keanu Reeves) asks Sara (Charlize Theron) to help him cheat on a driver's license exam, her test is disqualified, leaving Nelson feeling obligated to be Sara's taxi. What he doesn't know is Sara is evaluating him for her next "experiment."
Convinced Nelson hasn't found joy in his life, Sara reveals her true intentions when she invites him to move in and spend November under her tutelage. At month's end he will leave a new man, just like Mr. October and others before him. At first Nelson rejects the ludicrous idea, but after losing his job and girlfriend, he finds himself on Sara's doorstep. There he begins his transformation under Sara's direction and with help from her homosexual neighbor and a fatherless boy across the street.
Certainly the idea of turning a workaholic into a sensitive guy is attractive and worthwhile, but it doesn't take a genius to discover a romp on the beach with an attractive woman is a lot more fun than writing ad pitches. Even more bothersome is Sara's 30-day treatment comes off as nothing more than an exercise to convince Nelson to participate in her "take it slow" sexual preferences as opposed to his "drive-through" sexual behavior.
As Nelson undergoes Sara's instructions, we witness bedroom banter with clothed foreplay, a bathtub scene containing bare-ly enough bubbles, a visit with their transvestite neighbors, and a "carefully" filmed scene of the naked couple engaged in sex.
However, careful observation reveals that for all her criticism of Nelson, Sara is just as unwilling to make a commitment, using a serious personal crisis to justify her rejection of his marriage proposal. Abandoning commitment in favor of physical gratification, Sara's quick fix will likely have short-term effects on Nelson while leaving a long lasting impression on young viewers.

What non-sexual solutions could Sara have tried with Nelson to have a positive effect on his life?
If you've seen the movie, what do you think will happen to Nelson in the weeks and months ahead? Do you think he has permanently changed in a positive way? Or will he return to his former lifestyle?
Why is commitment often overlooked in movies?
Obsessed business freaks working in glass monolithic towers seem to be the targets of Hollywood makeovers lately with Nicolas Cage finding his domestic self in The Family Man and Mel Gibson developing his female side in What Women Want .
For a movie that portrays the positive effects of making a marriage commitment even in the face of desperate personal circumstances, check our review of Shadowlands .
Also check our review of Enya's CD A Day Without Rain that includes the song Only Time, heard in the soundtrack of this movie.

Get Involved: Be a Volunteer
Retired Court of Criminal Appeals Judge D. Kelly Thomas
Volunteer Your Time and Talent
Volunteering with youth court programs is an invaluable experience. Youth volunteers bring a unique perspective and a sense of relatability. Adult volunteers provide guidance, experience, and training to help teenage court members make fair and appropriate decisions and sentences concerning their peers.
Youth Courts are Volunteer-Driven
Youth court programs could not operate without its volunteers. Teen volunteers operate the courts as jurors, advocates and court officers. Adults train and coach their teenage counterparts.
Youth volunteers operating as court members receive extensive training from adult volunteers who are often lawyers and legal professionals serving in the community.
Youth court training includes mock trials to ensure teens have a comprehensive understanding of the court system and its expectations of them.
After their training, youth volunteers are sworn to carry out their duties as members of the youth court. Their duties include an oath of confidentiality and fair and open-minded consideration of the evidence.
The Entire Youth Court Process is Voluntary
The teens and adults serving as court members and coaches are volunteers. Even the teen who appears before the court and his or her parent or guardian volunteer to participate and abide by the decisions of the youth court.
"I have been a volunteer since the Youth Court Program started and it has been one of the most meaningful volunteer experiences of my life. In no other program can you participate so directly in positive, life-changing restorative justice for first offenders. The student teams that staff the Courts are engaged in helping the first offender change his or her course of life, and offer thoughtful insights and peer encouragement to the offender."
"As a parent with a student representing her peers as a defense attorney, the Youth Court experience is very transformative, impactful and empowering. The opportunity made my daughter a much better person. It demonstrates how the peer-to-peer effect can make a huge difference in the lives of those serving and those that are served."

300K people are signed up to 'Storm Area 51' and 'see them aliens'
By Hannah Sparks

QAnon-believing candidate wants to 'decapitate DC's swamp monsters'
Alex Jones relied on conspiracy theorist for Sandy Hook hoax
Alex Jones blames 'psychosis' for his Sandy Hook conspiracy theory
The Clinton administration couldn't get there. Russian spies tried and failed, too. But that won't stop nearly 300,000 alien enthusiasts from gathering in Amargosa Valley, Nevada, with plans to invade top-secret military base Area 51, where conspiracy theorists believe the government is hiding information on extra terrestrial life.
The ironic Facebook event, dubbed "Storm Area 51, They Can't Stop All of Us," has nearly 365,000 confirmed attendees, and some 384,000 interested in the mission.
"We will all meet up at the Area 51 Alien Center tourist attraction and coordinate our entry," the event details read. "If we naruto run" — referring to the widely memed manga character — "we can move faster than their bullets. Lets see them aliens."
An example of the "Naruto run"Masashi Kishimoto
The meme-inspired event feed has been flooded with harebrained schemes to break into the heavily guarded government facility, which includes rock throwing, a squadron of Kyles" — a much-memed character born on the internet — hopped up on Monster Energy drinks; and a legion of nagging " 'Can I speak to your manager?' Karens," (Yes, another meme persona) who one participant jokes "would be left untouched."
The call to action is, of course, satire (hopefully), since Area 51 is infamously secured by barbed fences, radar and heavily armed military personnel. The 5,000-square-mile desert site has been in operation for more than 60 years and officially fronted as part of the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR), affiliated with the Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas Valley, though only recently did the government intelligence recognize Area 51's existence.
What really goes down on the grounds has yet to be revealed to the public — though many have attempted to uncover its presumed secrets.
Though Area 51 was established in 1955, the mystery began somewhere in the 1980s, when a man claimed to have been employed there and saw scientists engineer an alien aircraft, which some believe may have been modeled after a UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico, in the late '40s. The so-called alien saucer turned out to be an advanced weather balloon, and the man's story was later found to be fabricated.
Despite the debunking, the legend has persisted through more tales of highly classified air tests using experimental technology and has firmly established itself as a bona fide conspiracy theory that has captivated stargazers for decades.
If the "Storm Area 51" caravan goes through with the stunt, they'll be met by gun-toting guards who have been cleared to stop any intruders at any cost — per the site's strongly worded signage: "Use of deadly force authorized."

Q: changing text in jquery on toggle asp.net i write a javascript code to toggle a div on click of a link :

   Show Information

   sssss

and the jquery code is :

but the problem is the changing of the word (show information,hide information)
when i click on the button is show "show information" and when re-click again it shows "hide information" ... its reverse ... can please find me a solution ?

A: http://api.jquery.com/jquery.trim/
jsBin demo
Your main issue is that your DIV text has spaces (newlines), therefore willl never match your query therefore will trigger the else
You have to first trim your text from whitespaces:
  var $show = $("#show"); // Also, cache the selectors you plan to reuse

  $show.click(function () {
    var showText = $.trim( $show.text() );
    if (showText === "Show Information") {
      $show.text("Hide Information");
    }
    else {
      $show.text("Show Information");
    }
    $("#info_div").toggle("slow");
  });

Also, since you use an anchor it would be good to use event.preventDefault() to prevent the browser jumping to-top. If it's always hidden by default, you can also rewrite your code like:
jsBin demo 2
$("#show").click(function(evt) {
    evt.preventDefault(); // prevent browser default anchor behavior
    $(this).text( ((this.tog^=1)?"Hide":"Show") +" Information" );
    $("#info_div").toggle("slow");
});

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/API/event.preventDefault

A: Your code is correct. Just change your code from

   Show Information

To
Show Information

but with this one, I have the "no image found" logo on every label except those for which a [code]logo.png is present. And I would like to put images on some labels and let the others blank.
Thanks again for your answers

A: Ok so one of my friends answer so I post it here in case some people would like to know.
In fact you just need to add if (imagesCountries.indexOf(code) > -1){}
to obtain this :
onRegionTipShow: function(event, label, code) {
        if (imagesCountries.indexOf(code) > -1) {
           label.html("
"+ label.html());
        }
    },

and now it works!
