Some communities are destroyed by tragedy and disaster. Others spring back. Here's what makes the difference.
Resilience is best understood as a characteristic of communities rather than individuals. Resilience isn't personal grit; it's the capacity of a neighborhood or community to respond, mitigate and adapt to crisis. People who face challenges reach out to their neighbors, friends, family and other networks to handle the issue emotionally, financially and logistically.
For our best interest, both as an individual and as a society, we need to work together. This is the exact opposite of what we have with the 'free-market' capitalist dogma that we have.
According to the Otago Daily Times, Shell New Zealand is reviewing its entire portfolio in New Zealand of both existing investments, and exploration in the Great South Basin. This is after their full selldown of the retail network two years ago. See:
http://www.odt.co.nz/news/business/366523/shell-reviewing-nz-operations
Anyone remember that fresh-faced Minister of Mining and Minerals Simon Bridges swearing black and blue on tv that petroleum exploration was going to be our Next Big Thing?
No matter how cack-handed his tv performance, his enthusiasm was not without merit. Petroleum exploration jobs have for many years been an export sector with astounding salaries and huge qualification requirements (For those checking my historical comments, I was quite supportive at the time of using a Dunedin base). MBIE was clearly pushing this agenda for those kinds of reasons, following its report in 2014 on New Zealand export sectors:
http://www.mbie.govt.nz/info-services/business/business-growth-agenda/sectors-reports-series/published-report
MBIE got it catastrophically wrong as a strategy, as did the entire government. This is hot on the heels of several other petroleum explorers leaving town.
It's not that these exiting companies generated any carbon-conscience in time for Paris COP 21. Exploration in marginal areas like GSB and the Arctic are simply not an activity supported by the medium-term global oil barrel price.
Oil and milk. Hey John, another very large fail.
Joe 2.1
Shell has been divesting itself of its business in the wider region for quite a while. They are focusing on downstream and upstream in other regions where they have great strategic or political advantage.
There are general pressures on the industry, e.g. price, preventing investment in new projects, but Shell's divestment is a strategic one as part of a wider scheme. Shell were never that interested in NZ upstream investment.
You're not big on giving things a go then.
Bit scared it won't be a success?
New Zealand's given dairy a go at bulk commodity manufacturing at highest risk and highest cost for lowest gain. For about 130 years.
Same for oil.
Time to actually learn a lesson and think.
Milk's paid the bills for many years, oil would have been great if it paid off.
If it did, we could have been the Denmark of the Souths Seas.
Wasn't a goer at least we know now.
Part of business, you give it a go, if it's not successful you put it behind you and move on.
And any time this government admits how catastrophic their strategy was, and hands our taxpayer subsidy back, I'll be there.
Thing is, we should have put it behind us about 100 years ago and worked on developing our economy. But we kept doing the same old thing and in the 1970s it failed.
Then, in the 1980s, the 4th Labour Government brought in unregulated capitalism and our government pushed even harder for farming instead of developing our economy and it's failed again.
Really, when are you RWNJs going to learn that commodities just don't pay their way?
Bill 2.2.1.1.2.1
Shouldn't have developed the economy at all Draco. They, we, who-ever tried that game but it was a market economy game. Shoulda changed the rules; changed the economy – played a different game.
Shouldn't have developed the economy at all Draco.
Of course we should have developed the economy. Even if we aren't using oil, capitalism or growth we should still develop the economy.
weka 2.3
"Exploration in marginal areas like GSB and the Arctic are simply not an activity supported by the medium-term global oil barrel price."
As predicted by Peak Oil theory. With any luck this will be an increasing pattern over the coming years.

More on the spurious 'Jihadi Brides' thing http://thewireless.co.nz/articles/i-m-not-a-jihadi-bride about a young muslim NZr visiting the Middle East with her parents to see family.
Jenny Kirk 3.1
Yes. Gangnam Style. Fascinating that the young woman was taken aside at entry to NZ and questioned and made to feel uncomfortable, but her parents – with whom she was travelling – were not.
Just jingoism and scaremongering, and bloddy stupid as well.
Tautuhi 3.2
Interesting it was Key who brought up the Jihadi Bride statement.

Northland forests. Home to Tane Mahuta and many other giant Kauri trees, along with other beautiful forest remnants. Dying.
Dying because this damn government doesn't give a toss.
I wish I could use stronger language.
I am first and foremost a botanist. A lover of NZ's natural world. I grew up in Northland and live there now. It breaks my heart, it really really does, to see the devastation wrought on our forests.
Not only DoC funding cuts but communities resistance to 1080 use. The two biggest reasons why predators, particularly possums, are so rampant in Northland which is destroying our forests.
http://norightturn.blogspot.co.nz/2015/12/the-cost-of-austerity-northlands-forests.html
1000% Lara – these are extraordinary trees, our heritage …. and we have such a neglectful government, a couldn't-care-less govt ….. you are quite right, its heart-breaking. From that heartless ShonKey to us.
maui 4.2
It could be a call to action for Forest & Bird up there and any interested conservationists. Accept the fact that Government isn't going to help for now and identify the parts of these forests that have the best biodiversity or heritage trees. With a handful of commited volunteers, bait lines could be put through these parts and bait stations installed. Once they're in place all you need is volunteers to check and refill the bait stations twice a year, so it's not a huge drain on people's time at all. In the end, all you would be paying for is the possum bait biannually and the initial cost of the purchase of bait stations. Not huge costs. A few hundred hectares could be protected by doing it this way on foot, not the thousands needed, but it would be a start. With sponsorship from local businesses and some grants it could be fully funded.
Totally agree Lara.
The fight is certainly on in the Waitakere's and across the Auckland region.
There's remarkable activism here, with lots of cross-group and cross-governance arrangements for all kinds of predators.
My Dad's side are all originally from deep into the Otangaroa valley, up into Fern Flat, Kaitaia, and Houhora Heads. He still has plenty of memories of the logging trucks coming down the hill with their air brakes popping, grinding down with massive Kauri.
Worth having a look at what another squillionaire's donations are planning to do in Mt Egmont National Park. Also have a look at Morgan's big Stewart Island project. With the decline of DoC into (largely) a tourism operator, it's going to take almighty large donors to turn this around. Projects that scale takes one or two heroic individuals, and a lifetime's commitment, and an army of volunteers.

This is a wonderful night, where we get to show not just a planeload of new Canadians what Canada is all about, we get to show the world how to open our hearts and welcome in people who are fleeing extraordinarily difficult situations
It will be interesting to be a fly on the wall at the white commonwealth countries club. Someone has broken the neo-lib and humanitarian ranks.

So there are the three ghoul units and a bunker unit behind. The lord should be fine in a front unit.
After my first game I now know I have to start the corpse carts between the front ghoul units to start, other wise after the free movement I'm spending the whole game chasing them.
i might reduce the GG to 15 and give them a char to really put some oomph to that unit since its your only strong standing CR and will help with units like dryads, trolls, ogres that rely on wounds. I might also put a unit or two of dire wolves or bats just to have something that moves fast to support your knights and can harass flanks, warmachines, and lone wizards. how did your ghouls work for you? ive been curious to find out if that many work well.
I would give them the Banner of the Barrows so that they hit more often. Also, think about dropping a few guys in the unit and expanding the frontage to 6 models. I find that the large frontage works better when you are relying on one high strength hit per model.
Other than that it looks fine. I am curious to see how all the ghouls work out compared to skeletons. It seems offensively powerful, but I still think ghouls will work best as small flanking units.
1º You have a solid army with some good magic but you lack on mobility (not speed to reach the combat, its not the same). You need flanking units to achieve some advantage over the enemy CR.
2º You need unless a hard hitting fast unit, black coach, vargulf, blood knights or something like that not so expensive but able to hammer, Black knights are good but Ws 3 and 1 atttack (even if it is KB) is not awesome.
3º Ghouls aren't bad but against a shooty army you will suffer since it's not difficult to kill a unit of 15, and if you don't have unit you cannot rise it, bigger units or get some skellies with light armour and shield, they have static CR while the vamps get extra CR with their killness.
I'd actually argue that ghouls are better against shooty armies. I get to them sooner thanks to the ghoul kin and being T 4 they are just as resilient if not better (there is enough posts with the math that I won't do it again here).
Barrows it also a bit expensive when I could get the same effect with the helm (if I could fins a place to put it. What item would you drop to put the helm in?
I'd drop one crown for the other, and leave the caster in her bunker in the back.
I agree on the GG thoughts, drop some and either add another unit of GG or increase the base sizes of your ghouls.
Increase the ghoul size? I thought I was being pretty generous as it was. A lot of magic heavy lists start with only the basic 10.
you have got to have some protection on your lord otherwise how will you deal with flying monsters?
Looks good but I'm not sure about the master of the black arts on your 2 heroes, it gives each hero 3 dice to use for them self and they can only restore wounds, I would give them dark acolyte and summon ghouls. Then they can also raise the units above starting strength and have a better chance of rolling up Vanhels at the start of the game.
Well they know IoN and 1 spell from the list, so they can always do that instead.
In the one game I played I found that the flank held by the grave guard was the weak flank and I'm debating if cairn wraiths could do the job better. What do you think?
You are aware they get invocation AND another spell right?
Most of the vampire spells are 8+ or less, not impossible for lvl 1 mages.
And besides, his army is based around raising, and raising as much as humanly possible, quickly.
However i would be tempted to make ONE an acolyte, to get some bigger spells off. You only lose 1 power dice, and you gain 20 points (good opportunity to get the helm also i would think.
Oh and id also give my knights barding, but thats probably because i'm in the "they don't suffer -1" crowd.

decoupling home audio home theater isolation IsoAcoustics speaker design Canada PSB Speakers acoustic isolation speaker placement ISE 2020
IsoAcoustics and PSB Speakers Announce Collaboration Ahead of Integrated Systems Europe 2020
IsoAcoustics, the manufacturer of acoustic isolation products for home and professional speakers, and PSB Speakers, the loudspeaker manufacturer recognized around the globe as a leader in high-quality speakers, are joining forces in 2020 to offer a new line of PSB Speakers featuring IsoAcoustics award-winning isolation technology, the first of which is integrated into the PSB CustomSound In-Room Sub (CSIR Sub) to be introduced at ISE 2020, in Amsterdam.
Paul Barton founded PSB Speakers in 1972, and Dave Morrison, founded IsoAcoustics in 2012.
The two Canadian companies are coming together to offer world-class home audio and home theater speaker systems, with a number of upcoming PSB Speakers featuring integrated IsoAcoustics isolation technology, improving sound clarity and sound stage.
Paul Barton, innovator and founder of PSB Speakers, is known as one of the pioneers of the Canadian audio industry. Paul recognized the way IsoAcoustics manages the interaction with the supporting surface and is making IsoAcoustics an integral part of his upcoming releases. The first PSB Speaker with IsoAcoustics integration, the CustomSound In-Room Sub (CSIR Sub), will be shown at Integrated Systems Europe show in Amsterdam (February 11-14).
For many years the industry standard has been to use mass and floor spikes to manage the interaction with the supporting surface, but IsoAcoustics award-winning isolation technology is an entirely different approach that is quickly gaining traction and changing the way people listen to music in homes and professional recording studios around the world. In the same way modern tire technology is part of the advancement of modern racing cars, IsoAcoustics technology compliments speakers by managing the connection with the supporting surface.
IsoAcoustics products connect to the base of the speaker and to the supporting surface so that the energy is effectively managed by the internal isolators. The isolators significantly reduce the transfer of resonant energy from the speaker to the supporting surface and prevent them from reflecting off the floor below and being conducted back up into the speaker. The patented isolators are directional and are aligned with the speaker's drivers to provide greater sound clarity and focus.
David Morrison – the founder of IsoAcoustics – and Paul Barton first met in Toronto in the mid-'80s at the national TV and radio broadcaster, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), where Morrison worked for close to twenty years. Barton's Passif II speakers had been chosen by the CBC to be used in their radio studios across the country based on performance evaluations carried out by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC).
While working for the CBC, Morrison was so impressed with Barton's Passif II speakers that he purchased a pair for himself. When Morrison finally met Paul Barton, Paul kindly offered to assist Morrison with setting up the speakers in his home. The two acoustic specialists had in-depth discussions involving speaker design, placement, and testing. Inspired by Barton's expertise and methodology of measuring sound, Morrison worked on design concepts and tested them at the NRC over the following years and ultimately founded IsoAcoustics.
Like PSB Speakers, IsoAcoustics has become a globally distributed brand. IsoAcoustics patented designs cover multiple applications, from professional audio and studios, to the hifi and consumer market. The company has been consistently introducing new isolation solutions for all markets and establishing solid relationships with some of the world's most prestigious brands. At the recent 2020 NAMM Show, IsoAcoustics introduced new acoustic isolation products for stage and studio.
"Paul Barton has always been an innovator in the audio industry. He was instrumental in building the audio industry in Canada and paved the way for companies like ours," says Dave Morrison, founder of IsoAcoustics. "I am so pleased he recognizes the contribution IsoAcoustics products make, and I am excited to be working with him and his team at PSB Speakers."
"What Dave has done with IsoAcoustics is really a Canadian audio success story and we're proud to be able to collaborate with them," says Paul Barton, founder of PSB Speakers. "In the end, we don't have a lot of control over a consumer's listening environment, so knowing that IsoAcoustics' products will be integrated into a number of our upcoming products gives me confidence that our speakers are optimized to our consumers' expectations of quality."
Representatives from both IsoAcoustics and PSB Speakers will be on hand at Integrated Systems Europe show in Amsterdam, February 11-14, 2020, in Hall #5, Stand #T-140.

UK companies may be forced to publish their ethnicity pay gaps under new government plans to uncover the extent of inequality that ethnic minorities face in the workplace.
In a new consultation, launched by prime minister Theresa May, the government seeks to find out whether mandatory reporting of ethnicity pay gaps will help address disparities in the pay and career prospects of people from different ethnic backgrounds. Running until January 2019, the consultation asks firms with more than 250 employees to share their views on what information should be published "to allow for decisive action to be taken" while avoiding "undue burdens" on businesses.
The announcement forms part of a number of measures to help minorities at work, with May saying that minorities often "feel like they're hitting a brick wall".
She is also due to unveil a Race at Work Charter that commits businesses to increasing the recruitment and career progression of ethnic minority employees. The charter, designed with Business in the Community, has already been signed by organisations including KPMG, NHS England, the Civil Service and Saatchi & Saatchi.
Announcing the plans, May said: "Every employee deserves the opportunity to progress and fulfil their potential in their chosen field, regardless of which background they are from, but too often ethnic minority employees feel they're hitting a brick wall when it comes to career progression."
The move follows the publication of the government's Race Disparity Audit last year, which revealed significant disparities in pay and workplace opportunities between people of different ethnic backgrounds.
Despite the findings of the audit, research from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) found that just 3% of organisations currently measure their ethnicity or disability pay gaps voluntarily.
David Isaac, chair of the EHRC, welcomed an extension to pay gap reporting.
"Extending mandatory reporting beyond gender will raise transparency about other inequalities in the workplace, and give employers the insight they need to identify and remove barriers to ethnic minority staff joining and progressing to the highest level in their organisations," he said.
Wanda Wyporska, executive director of The Equality Trust said she was "delighted" the issue is now coming into focus.
"We believe that transparency on pay is essential for fighting the racism inherent in the labour market and for reducing income inequality. As with the gender pay gap, we shall be monitoring and analysing this as part of our corporate governance work," she told HR magazine.
The announcement also coincides with new EHRC research that found the gender pay gap has a significant impact on staff motivation and behaviour and that businesses are at risk of putting themselves at a competitive disadvantage if they fail to take action to reduce their gaps.
Interesting piece. The benefits of a diverse organisation are well documented and it's therefore relevant to address inequality in whatever form it exists whether that be gender, ethnicity, disability etc. As such, ethnicity pay gap reporting would undoubtedly be useful in terms of highlighting the current position and also focussing the mind around this as an issue. But we also need to make sure that our recruitment processes are fair to ensure diversity is considered before employees enter the workforce not just once they are in post. Our research in the banking industry, for example, shows that Situational Judgement Tests or SJTs present a fair, reliable selection method and candidates from lower socio-economic backgrounds were at no disadvantage compared to those from higher socio-economic backgrounds when we utilised this selection methodology as part of the research. So it is possible to enhance the fairness of recruitment processes by choosing appropriately designed selection methods. SJTs present candidates with realistic but hypothetical scenarios and ask them to identify the most appropriate response or rank the options in the order they feel is most appropriate.


Services are convenient for families.
ECI services are meant to be convenient for families and are provided to children and families in familiar and comfortable surroundings where children can be themselves. This could be at home, at daycare, at grandma and grandpa's house, or even a restaurant if your child is having behavior problems in public.
Families of all income levels receive ECI services.
There is no income limit. You do not have to receive Medicaid to be eligible for services. No family is turned away because of an inability to pay. Please see the Family Cost Share Brochure for more information.
Anyone can refer a child to ECI.
Anyone who has a concern about a child's development can make a referral to ECI. A child is not required to have a medical diagnosis or physician's order to be referred. The earlier babies and toddlers receive intervention the easier it is for them to catch up.
Parents and professionals work together as a team.
ECI acknowledges that families know their children best. The family is the most important part of the ECI team! Working directly with pediatric therapists and developmental specialists, parents can learn how to continue to work with their child on their own between ECI visits. Initially, the team will evaluate your child and together you will develop a plan for services and continue to assess your child's progress on a regular basis.
Children learn through play and everyday activities.
Therapy doesn't have to hurt to work! Babies and toddlers learn through play. ECI team members, to include the family, work together to find learning opportunities within the family's daily routines such as bath time, meal time, and bed time to work on skills that will help their child's development. In this way, children receive therapy multiple times a day when families are actively working with their children between visits performing daily activities they would already be doing as a family.
The goal of early intervention is to help children reach their full potential so they no longer need ECI services.
When your child is developing appropriately for his/her age, or turns three years old, they are no longer eligible for services. Planning for this transition is an important service that ECI provides. ECI professionals will help you to transition your child into other services as needed before they turn three years old.
You never have to leave your child alone for therapy with ECI.
Children never have to be separated from their parents or caregivers to receive ECI services. We want families to be included in all therapy and intervention so they can learn helpful techniques to help their child too. Babies and toddlers are very attached at this age to their caregiver and learn best from people they already know.

Big Tech, Big Fines
by Florian Zandt
On January 4, Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner (DPC) fined Meta a combined 390 million euros or $413 million for violating the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on its Facebook and Instagram platforms. Now, six out of the ten highest fines for GDPR breaches are attributed to Mark Zuckerberg's company. Even though it might seem like a considerable sum, it's not the most significant amount of money a company had to pay in the history of the GDPR.
As our chart shows, that questionable honor goes to Amazon, another member of GAFAM. In July of 2021, Luxembourg's data watchdog issued the European branch of the multi-billion dollar tech firm a fine of roughly $774 million in current prices for the "non-compliance with general data processing principles" according to the GDPR Enforcement Tracker by CMS Law. The fourth place on the list of highest fines goes to WhatsApp, followed by Google and, once again, Facebook and Instagram violating the GDPR.
The regulatory framework of the GDPR aims to give users more control over their data – and lays the groundwork for fining companies offering their services in the EU for breaching its articles. The GDPR was instated on May 25, 2018, as a replacement for the EU's Data Protection Directive from 1995. So far, the GDPR Enforcement Tracker lists 1,546 individual breaches of the GDPR, although the data is most likely incomplete since not all fines are made public.

If you've been watching the news at all lately you'll see that there's a new disease generating great concern worldwide.
SignTech paperless solutions is an international company with some ties to Nigeria, and so what happens in Africa concerns us as well, especially if it's in the west-African region.
It is said to be the worst in Liberia, and generating a nation-wide panic. Airlines have stopped flying to that country amongst a few others, the government had decreed a lockdown of the borders, that is no movement in or out of the country until further notice, and many people, are dying from this disease which at the moment seems to have no widely-available cure.
Scientists in Canada have made an experimental batch of 1000 treatments for the virus, which have been shipped off though they say that it might take a while to make the next batch.
Some Ebola virus patients have been treated and cured of the disease, which is a glimmer of hope for those who have been said to have it. Despite this, chances of survival are higher if the virus is detected early.
If you don't know what I'm talking about by now, then you probably don't watch the news. EVD, Ebola Virus Disease, I heard about it a few months ago, but only when I visited Nigeria that I really heard about it. Banks making all customers use hand sanitizer at the door (kudos to Eco-bank by the way for taking that initiative), airport arrivals and departures incorporated a system where your temperature is taken before you're cleared to travel.
Some hospitals, despite being for sick people, also take your temperature before allowing you into certain wings of the hospital.
Different organizations have already donated funds and research to the cause including the WHO (World Health Organization) and the UN (United Nations).
Despite it gaining massive amounts of popularity now, the disease was actually first discovered in 1976, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It is infectious and generally fatal, marked by severe internal bleeding and fever, though mild symptoms include fatigue, headaches and nausea. It is spread through contact with infected bodily fluids by a filovirus (Ebola Virus).
Now if you're like me and can't help but travel to some countries in West Africa, including Nigeria, then the only obvious option you have is preventing yourself from contacting the Ebola Virus Disease. That can be done by being as clean as possible; washing your hands regularly, carrying around a small bottle of hand sanitizer is also useful especially when you've been in contact with shared surfaces. Being clean and being careful is very, very important especially in these times, when diseases can be spread faster than wildfire. SignTech is concerned not just with paperless solutions that benefit the eco system but also solutions that benefit your health. Stay clean, Stay healthy.
SignTech is an innovative paperless platform that creates forms and documents for full completion, signing and integration. For more information visit www.signtechforms.com or email info@signtechforms.com.

Usually, it takes me a little while to consider which charity I'm going to feature each month. This month, however, I didn't even need to think for a second. January has been a hard time for so many people. Of course we've lost some of our greatest talent in the past 30 days- David Bowie, my idol Alan Rickman and now the sad news that Sir Terry Wogan has also left us- but there are also many others, not in the public eye, who are learning to live in a world that has changed, all because of cancer.
We all know somebody who has fought with cancer in some way. I've lost two relatives to the disease and know many others who have suffered, some with successful outcomes but, sadly, some without. Cancer is an indiscriminate illness and is far more prevalent than it should be. I need not go into detail about why I'm featuring these two charities- Cancer Research UK and Macmillan Cancer Support- as we all know too well how much pain it brings to people. Yet despite this sadness, there is hope.
We are now at a point where half of the people diagnosed with cancer have survived, a statistic that has doubled in the past 40 years. Every day, people all over the world work tirelessly to find treatments and we are getting ever closer to a time where cancer will no longer be the threat it is today.
CANCER RESEARCH UK Cancer Research UK funds scientists, doctors and nurses to carry out research, develop treatments and care for those who have been diagnosed. There are so many ways to support them that I couldn't possibly lis them all here. Whether you want to campaign on behalf of Cancer Research UK, volunteer or raise funds with an event, even the smallest donation or action helps beat cancer sooner.
MACMILLAN CANCER SUPPORT Being diagnosed with cancer is a scary time for both the sufferer and their loved ones, but Macmillan Cancer Support is dedicated to making the diagnosis a little less difficult. From assisting with the impact on work and finance, to providing specialised nurses to help with care, Macmillan is committed to supporting those affected with cancer. As with Cancer Research UK, you can help out in a variety of ways such as campaigning, volunteering and fundraising. Cancer is overwhelmingly difficult but Macmillan Cancer Support are here to help negotiate through it.
WORLD CANCER DAY By coincidence, this month coincides with World Cancer Day. On 4th February, the world unites to reflect on what we can do to beat cancer and take action. Get involved and let everybody know how you're helping the fight against cancer.

Report: Florida Gators to add former NFL QB Charlie Frye in undetermined role
By Adam Silverstein
Updated at 9 p.m.
Back in March, OnlyGators.com provided an in-depth look at some of the first steps head coach Jim McElwain took to build and enhance the infrastructure of Florida Gators football. Specifically, McElwain created a top-notch support staff for the program, though he cautioned that there were still a handful of spots that would be available to add additional talent: "We're not filled up yet," he said.
It now appears as if one of those open slots has been taken. According to The Gainesville Sun's Zach Abolverdi, who cited an anonymous source, six-year NFL veteran quarterback Charlie Frye will join the Gators this fall.
As far as what Frye will do with Florida in his non-coaching role, The Sun notes his responsibilities will include "player development and mental conditioning."
Update: It was initially reported that Frye would be hired as a member of UF's support staff. That report has since been changed to note that Frye will at least start out as a "consultant" with the team.
A four-year standout at Akron who set 54 school records while playing for the Zips, Frye was selected by the Cleveland Browns with the 67th overall pick in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft. He started 18 games for Cleveland in his first two seasons but saw little success, bouncing over to Seattle and Oakland before his time in the league came to an end due to a mix of ineffectiveness and multiple serious injuries.
Frye decided to remain involved in football and dip his toe into coaching, becoming the offensive coordinator of Jones High School in Orlando and later holding the same position for Wekiva High School in Apopka, Florida.
So what are the connections between Frye and the Gators?
His work as an offensive coordinator at both Jones and Wekiva came under Browns teammate Kenard Lang, a former Miami defensive end who learned from Randy Shannon, one of Lang's position coaches with the Hurricanes. Shannon, of course, is now the associate head coach, co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Florida.
Frye, McElwain and Gators offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier were also in the NFL at the same time during the 2006 season, though McElwain (Oakland) and Nussmeier (St. Louis) were both serving as the quarterbacks coaches on other teams.
Furthermore, Frye held his high school offensive coordinator jobs while UF defensive backs coach Kirk Callahan was an assistant coaching and recruiting for UCF, which is also in Orlando and near Apopka.
Though Florida has yet to add Frye to its staff directory, he is currently being followed on Twitter by Nussmeier and multiple Gators staffers.
"We've been fortunate to attract some outstanding talent, guys that are going to be able to help this program move forward in their roles," McElwain said on March 10 about his support staff. "Some of the value as far as looking forward to film breakdowns and things like that is huge. Getting another set of quality eyes on your product that can kind of sit back and see it a little bit from afar and bring some really good value to what you're trying to accomplish. I think we've done that in those spots."
He added: "Part of it is the people you get to work with, the new set of ways of doing things and just kind of refreshing yourself as a coach. These are transient positions by nature, which is great because we're able to give an opportunity to a coach to advance his career and then, at the same time on the other end, we're able to possibly bring in new ideas to stay fresh. That's part of how this works. The other thing is, if a coach does move on to a head coaching job or something like that, it allows opportunities for guys internally and externally. I've seen it first-hand. It really is the way of moving forward and our administration has been fantastic."

Michael Jones says:
McElwain is a classy and intelligent guy. Thinks things through and has a philosophy–not just of coaching but of life–at a depth that we haven't seen around here for awhile.

Movie Review – 31 (2016)
September 3, 2016 by Robert Kojder Leave a Comment
Written and directed by Rob Zombie
Starring Sheri Moon Zombie, Elizabeth Daily, Meg Foster, Richard Brake, Torsten Voges, Lew Temple, Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs, Jeff Daniel Phillips, David Ury, Pancho Moler and Malcolm McDowell.
Five carnival workers are kidnapped and held hostage in an abandoned, Hell-like compound where they are forced to participate in a violent game, the goal of which is to survive twelve hours against a gang of sadistic clowns.
For better or worse, Rob Zombie has a distinct style meaning that semi-knowledgeable audiences know what they are getting into once they purchase a ticket; white trash characters spewing.dialogue so foul that you almost have to commend Zombie for even brainstorming such shocking remarks (at one point one of the psychopathic murderers jokes "what's the best part about fucking a pregnant woman", and as you would expect the answer is repulsive), an onslaught of blood and gore capping off multiple brutal deaths, and a ton of nudity scattered throughout the whole experience, because why not I guess. You really don't even need this review to know if 31 is for you or not, because if you enjoyed something like The Devil's Rejects it's definitely worth getting in line for this madness
During the post-screening Q&A, Zombie was asked how 31 differs from any other film has made, to which he answered that it doesn't, and that if anything, this is the most Rob Zombie movie he has ever made. 31 is a film from the director reeling in all of the tools and tricks he has learned over the years and honing them to make a mainstream horror feature accessible to anyone hankering to see people get cut up by chainsaws. In some ways this is admittedly disappointing, because Zombie mentioned that the only reason he followed up the highly bizarre and abstract Lords of Salem with a film featuring a much more simple premise is due to the fact that it's what distributors will pick up easily. The other film he is working on was apparently becoming far too frustrating to make, so instead we get 31, although honestly, it most definitely is a movie with some really high ups.
31 opens up with a monologue from Doom-head (Richard Brake) sickeningly ranting about the disturbing life or death game played with civilians, right before chopping off the head of a priest. I could watch a whole movie of Doom-head delivering monologues, but my point is that not only does this set the mood and tone for what audiences will be in store for during the next 100 minutes, but it is also a startling and horrifying introduction to what just might be the greatest character creation Rob Zombie has ever concocted. This sick clown reminiscent figure isn't too far off from DC Comic's Joker in both appearance and personality, although naturally cranked up to about 20 and "it's a wonder Zombie ever won his battles with the MPAA and got the movie released" levels. The ending scene alone is haunting and terrifying, brutally uneasy, and might just be the greatest scene's of the director's careered so far simply because of this menacing cretin. 'Dream On' also makes everything 10x more awesome.
Doom-head is just one character though, and while 31 has plenty of other warped creations (one of the psychopaths is a dwarf tattooed in Nazi iconography), they don't leave the lasting impression that he does. I understand that the shooting schedule was a ridiculously short 20 days, but that sort of swift process might be harming Zombie in the long run considering that he might not be getting the most out of the admittedly fucked up stuff he is coming up with. There is much more mileage that can be siphoned out of the other psychopaths, instead of resting everything on the shoulders of Doom-head. Unfortunately, 31 doesn't get truly intense until his reintroduction into the story.
Once again, Zombie also gives us a bunch of protagonists that aren't very relatable or likable, instead blurting out obscenities and generally being pieces of meat with no substantial character. However, Sherri Moon Zombie does play the fighting survivor role well, while other fan favorite actors from Zombie's previous films come along for another collaboration using their charisma to get audiences invested somewhat into their lives. There's also a pretty rad Jamaican dude who makes me wish there were more Jamaican characters in movies.
Also holding back 31 is how cheap and amateurishly edited it looks. There are far too many fight scenes featuring shoddy shaky camera work, showcasing a blurry mess of weapons clanging against each other, making it impossible to decipher what's happening until someone is actually dying. At the same time, the run-down and dirty abandoned factory hosting the death games looks appropriately shitty, filled with graffiti lambasting God and whatnot. There are also some ritualistic satanic locations where the headmasters of the private hell operate, but their addition to the narrative doesn't add much and surprisingly feels disconnected from the core story. Basically, Malcolm McDowell is wasted.
Still, the actor making performance and strong character work from Richard Brake will leave audiences with something to talk about. What the hell was DC doing not casting him as Joker? Foul mouths, blood, sex… Rob Zombie delivers everything to be expected from his fans, even if 31 is one of his middling projects.

Health and Beauty 'In Disarray'
Published: Dec 2, 2022 By: Suzanne Oswald
YOU may recognise him as a member of Scottish dark wave rockers The Ninth Wave, but Calum Stewart is ready to forge his own path with new project Health and Beauty.
A chance to explore his love of dance music alongside his appreciation for all things indie, the multi-instrumentalist has shared his debut single – and it's a beautiful thing called 'In Disarray'.
Brimming with emotion without ever becoming steeped in melancholy, the track sees his powerful falsetto delivered against a throbbing, highly charged backdrop. And it transcends musical boundaries, too. With Calum in charge of every element, the worlds of 90s indie and techno collide in a stunning wave of sound – channelling the likes of New Order, My Bloody Valentine, Aphex Twin and Detroit techno, it's a song driven by emotion and introspection,
Building and building to its emotive crescendo, there's no denying Calum is able to touch the listener on celebral level as much as lure them to the dancefloor – a quality that can be so hard to capture, yet he masterfully achieves it on this occasion.
He shares "Lyrically, this track looks to distill into as few words as possible the feeling of your brain being 'out of sorts' without any discernible reason. These kinds of thoughts and feelings can be fleeting – there one minute and gone the next. There's rarely a moment of clear catharsis. So there's no catharsis in the lyrical content. It's one sentence repeated over and over. I felt it didn't need padding with any other words. The sentence exists on its own and its repetition is like the repetition of the feeling itself.
However, for me, the song is far from gloomy. The music itself takes a lighter approach and is really joyful in many ways. It celebrates catharsis through music, but tinged with a wee bit of melancholy. I really enjoy songs like Robyn's 'Dancing On My Own' for that reason – it allows space to dance but also space to have a wee cry. Same rules apply here."
With a larger project said to be on the way, there's also a live show with Last Boy (aka fellow Ninth Wave member Haydn Park-Patterson) at the Poetry Club on 24th February 2023.

Earlier this year hackers started to show evidence of an exploit that allowed you to load custom software on a Nintendo Switch game console. Theoretically that opens the door for homebrew applications, modified games, or even running an alternate operating system such as a GNU/Linux distribution on Nintendo's latest game system. It could also make it possible to run pirated games, which is why console makers usually don't encourage this sort of thing.
But now a team of hackers called ReSwitched have described a bootrom vulnerability called Fusée Gelée that makes it possible for anyone to hack a Nintendo Switch… assuming you're willing to do a little hardware hacking too.
While this security vulnerability could also make it possible for someone else to hack your device, they'd need physical access to your hardware. So the risk of someone installing code on your Switch without your knowledge isn't all that great.
ReSwitched team member Katherine Temkin says the vulnerability affects the NVIDIA Tegra X1 processor used in all 15 million Nintendo Switch consoles sold to date, as well as other devices with Tegra X1 processors. And it cannot be patched via a software update. The only way for Nintendo and NVIDIA to create devices that aren't vulnerable would be to release new hardware.
That said, it does take a little bit of work to hack your own Switch. In order to exploit the Fusée Gelée vulnerability, you'll need to put the Nintendo Switch into USB recovery mode, which requires shorting out a pin on the right Joy-Con connector. You could do that by bending a pin, using a wire, or eventually by purchasing a small accessory designed just for that purpose.
Update: Some folks are also 3D printing devices for shorting the pin… or coming up with lower-tech solutions.
And there is a chance you'll damage your $300 game console by attempting to hack it. So proceed with caution.
For now, the Fusée Launcher is basically just a sample payload that lets you hack a Switch and add software that doesn't do much of anything. Eventually ReSwitch plans to release a custom firmware version called Atmosphère that will allow users to run homebrew games and applications. The first release of Atmosphère is tentatively scheduled for this summer.
Meanwhile, the folks at another hacking team, fail0verflow, had also discovered the vulnerability exploited by Fusée Gelée, and they've released their own exploit, called ShofEL2. It's already possible to use it to load a full-fledged GNU/Linux-based operating system such as Arch on a Switch console.
Both hacker teams had disclosed the vulnerability to affected parties including NVIDIA and Nintendo and both had been planning to wait for a period of time before releasing them to the public, in order to allow those companies a chance to come up with strategies for addressing the bugs. But this weekend somebody published details about the vulnerability, so both fail0verflow and ReSwitched went ahead and made their work public.
That opens the door for homebrew, custom firmware, and other hacks (including, possibly, piracy). And while I wouldn't be surprised to see Nintendo start shipping new Switch devices that are protected from the vulnerability, even if that happens there will still be millions of affected devices already in the wild.
I suspect we'll start to see eBay and Craigslist sellers highlight the hackable nature of used 1st-gen Switch hardware pretty soon.
T214 SoC should have hardware fixes in place, this exploit is pretty much dead in the water already.
Lesson to learn for Nintendo from the 3DS: If it's hacked, disable it all the way. If you let it access the e-shop, they will pirate all the games. Right now even if your 3DS is hacked, Nintendo detects it and disables it it can still access the eShop. And guess what, you can download any game from the eShop for free on the hacked 3DS. Not sideload it, there is no need for a pirate server. You can connect to Nintendo's own server and get the game for free. And I guess Nintendo can let the 7 year old 3DS do this as it's phased out, but the 1 year old Switch would get screwed over royally if pirating becomes easy and without consequences. You can't even argue that it's hard to get games for the switch or that they are grossly overpriced.
Seems like the existing teams are focusing on separate custom firmwares, and not modifying the fw of the Switch OS itself. Partially as a way of not encouraging piracy, and also separating your hacked and official OS experiences. That way you can have all the homebrew you want without worrying about getting banned from the eShop.
Additionally, even though Nintendo can't patch the exploit with software -they could still use software to detect if you're running an altered Switch OS and prevent you from doing certain things like accessing the eShop.
IIRC, one of the main purposes of the exploit hunt over the past few months (other than fun) is to back up save games to external media, which the Switch doesn't currently let you do. Several early adopters whose Switch console overheated or was otherwise irreparably damaged lost hours of save game data.
That said, piracy is inevitable. But considering that there is already a Nintendo Switch emulator in the works (even if it's in the beginning stages of Alpha and cannot run anything), Switch piracy isn't long coming. This may have just accelerated it quite a bit.

Geoff Heard's Research
Applied ecology, herpetology and conservation planning
Code and data
I'm currently a Research Fellow in the Fenner School for Environment and Society at the Australian National University.
I describe myself as an applied ecologist with an addiction to herpetology. I've been fascinated by reptiles and amphibians since I was a boy, and the obsession shows no signs of abating. More broadly, I'm interested in where species live and why, and what that can tell us about how to conserve them. Much of my research focuses on the spatial and temporal dynamics of species at landscape-scales, seeking insights into population processes to guide conservation planning. But I dabble in pure ecology and methodological projects, with some natural history thrown in for good measure.

Response of threatened frogs to the 'Black Summer' fires: Between Spring 2019 and Autumn 2020 Australia suffered unprecedented wildfires, with an estimated 18.6M hectares burnt on the east coast and adjoining ranges. These fires were not only unprecedented in scale, but burnt landscapes that are normally immune from fire, including rainforest and ancient Antarctic Beech forest. During my postdoc, I'll be working with Ben Scheele, Dave Newell, Liam Bolitho and Harry Hines to assess the impacts of these fires on threatened frogs in northern NSW and south-eastern Queensland, particularly the Mountain Frog (Philoria kundagungan) and Richmond Mountain Frog (Philoria richmondensis).
Range, niche and demographic shifts in frogs afflicted by disease: Chytridiomycosis in amphibians provides a case study of the ability of biotic agents to alter the distribution, realised niche and demography of species. In collaboration with Ben Scheele at ANU, I am currently pursuing research on these processes among Australian frogs, using data on frog distributions and age structure before and after chytrid invaded Australia's east coast.
Environmental drivers of disease dynamics in frogs: Beginning with a paper in 2014, I continue to work on the effects of wetland microclimate and water chemistry on the impact of chytridiomycosis among threatened frogs (see here) and the potential of such relationships to inform manage options for the disease (see here). My most recently published research in this area focused on quantifying the effects of elevation and canopy cover on chytrid prevalence and frog persistence in the rainforests of North Queensland, in collaboration with Sara Bell of the Australian Institute for Marine Sciences, and Lee Skerratt and Lee Berger of the University of Melbourne. Ongoing research includes the effect of environmental variables on chytrid infection dynamics in frogs of the NSW semi-arid zone, in collaboration with PhD student Anna Turner and supervisor Skye Wassens at Charles Sturt University.
Metapopulation and metacommunity dynamics of frogs: In collaboration with Dr Michael Scroggie (Arthur Rylah Institute for Environmental Research) and Prof Kirsten Parris and Prof Michael McCarthy (University of Melbourne), I continue research on the metapopulation and metacommunity dynamics of frogs in Victoria, using a long-term occupancy dataset amassed since 2001. Our particular focus has been the threatened Growling Grass Frog; however, current works seeks to use joint species distribution models to describe the occupancy dynamics of the entire frog community.

Q: Small file not committed to disk for over a minute I have an embedded Linux app that writes to a file at a fairly slow rate (50 bytes/s or so). The file is on a hard drive, XFS filesystem. The file is being written to by calling write(), not fwrite().
If I power-cycle the system and check the file, over a minute's worth of data is missing. I thought the default Linux behaviour was to sync the disk cache every 5s (I can tolerate 5s worth of missing data so they'd be no problem with this). What should I be checking to see why it isn't getting synced for a long time? /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeback_centisecs is 500. Are there other changeable things I should be checking? It definitely looks to be a disk cache issue - if i ls -l the file, the size is as expected, and after the power cycle it is less than before.

A: The five seconds behavior is only for ext3/ext4 filesystems, you can control this by commit mount option (default is commit=5). I don't know how XFS behaves tho.
You perhaps mean 30 seconds limit in the VM subsystem. By default, Linux can wait up to 30 seconds with writing your data. You can get/set the limit using:
# cat /proc/sys/vm/dirty_expire_centiseconds
3000

Shows hondreds of second.

A: Mmm, I'm not sure about the 5s as "default in Linux". As far as I know the delay is filesystem dependant, although maybe I'm mistaken. I believe the maximum delay for cache sync on XFS is (or at least was a while ago) 30 seconds. That figure of 5 seconds was true for some older filesystems (ext2 and ext3 I believe) and it doesn't hold true for ext4, if I recall correctly.
In conclusion, what is happening to you is the expected behaviour.
If you want to surpass the cache, I believe you will need to use fsync, O_SYNC or O_DIRECT. Or apply the 'sync' option when mounting the filesystem, which should solve the problem globally.

A: Well, XFS is known for such "failures". Problem is connected with write-cache. More info on XFS FAQ.

There are mountains and there are the Tetons. These jagged peaks seem to rise out of nowhere! Join Mandy Lea in the place that inspired her to quit her 9-to-5 and take her photography career to the road—Grand Teton National Park. In June, wildflowers are blooming, streams are flowing, and snow is lingering on the high peaks. All of these traits combine to make this an extremely photogenic time of year in the Tetons.
We'll hit all of the classic spots like Mormon Row, Schwabacher's Landing, and Oxbow Bend. Of course, Mandy will share some of her favorite hidden gems that she's discovered throughout the area, too! During our time together we'll photograph plenty of sunrises and sunsets, cascading streams, mountain lakes, stars (if the moonlight allows us), and maybe some wildlife if we're lucky!
If this isn't enough for you then join the additional Grand Teton Adventure Days! During these days we'll venture to harder to reach shooting locations that require more strenuous hiking. Getting to these spots won't be easy, but the views (and the photos) will be totally worth it! The Adventure Days can be added on to this workshop for a discounted price.
Altitude: We will be at elevations between 6-8k feet (or higher) during this workshop. Everyone's body reacts to the effects of elevation differently. Some people have no problems at all, while others struggle. The most common symptoms of altitude sickness are headaches, tiredness, nausea, dizziness, and shortness of breath. There are over-the-counter medicines to help alleviate these symptoms. The most important thing is to stay hydrated and avoid overuse of alcohol if you're not used to the effects of altitude.
Physical Fitness: Most shooting locations will be at or near parking areas. However, some locations may require up to a couple miles of easy-to-moderate, slightly uphill hiking on potentially rocky, uneven terrain. So, comfortable hiking shoes/boots are recommended.
I met Mandy at the October 2016 Big Bend Workshop. I enjoyed her spirit and attitude so much that I decided to book a private one week workshop in the Teton's. This was a bucket list trip for me and was worth every penny. Mandy's knowledge of the National Park and surrounding area eliminated the need for me to scout the area for a week. We saw so much and Mandy knew the best locations to shoot given changing weather conditions. I highly recommend any workshop with Mandy, but especially a workshop in the Teton's. I give her 6 stars.

A Reverse Mortgage loan could change your life.
Find out how it could work for you with no obligation.
They want to live A GOOD and SECURE LIFE in their retirement years.
They want to enjoy living in their own homes forever. Thousands of Seniors are using the reverse mortgage to convert a portion of the equity in their home into a tax free cash* to supplement their income.
A reverse mortgage will allow you to retire in the comfort of your home without having to worry about making regular monthly mortgage payments. With a reverse mortgage, you only need to pay for your taxes, insurance, and property maintenance. A reverse mortgage from Southland Mortgage Inc. can help you achieve your goals of remaining in your home and potentially increase your monthly cash flow.
A reverse mortgage may even allow you to delay social security benefits. Every year you delay collecting social security can increase your benefits in the future. Southland Mortgage can help make things easier for senior homeowners and help you retire in the comfort of your own home.
Contact us and one of our Loan Professionals will explain all the details and answer any questions you may have.
*Consult Your financial advisor and government agencies for any impact on your taxes or benefits.
A reverse mortgage is a loan for seniors age 62 and older. The property you are financing must be your primary residence.The reverse mortgage allows a borrower to convert a portion of the home equity into cash that can be used today. As with any other types of mortgage loans the reverse mortgage uses a home's equity as collateral. The reverse mortgage does not require regular monthly mortgage payments. Instead, the Bank pays you.
You can receive the money in a few different ways - a lump sum, a line of credit, monthly payments, or a combination of monthly installments and a line of credit. After obtaining a reverse mortgage, a borrower must continue to pay for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. The approval process for a reverse mortgage is similar to any other type of mortgage, but there is an extra step. It is mandatory for all borrowers to enroll in a counseling session with a HUD-approved counselor and provide a counseling certificate to the lender as proof.
For a HECM reverse mortgage, we will calculate how much you can borrow from the available equity in your home. The calculation is based on the age of the youngest borrower, the interest rate and the appraised value of your property. This number is known as your principal limit. Generally, you can take out up to 60% of your principal limit in the first year.
With a reverse mortgage, every borrower is different and the amounts available will differ from one borrower to another. As a general rule, the amounts available increases the older the borrower, the higher the home value, the lower the interest rate and the smaller the amount to be withdrawn the first year of the loan. To discover how much you may qualify for, contact us and one of our loan originator specialist, will assist you and answer all of your questions.
Qualifying for a reverse mortgage used to be easy for anyone who was 62 years of age and had enough home equity. Unfortunately, after the recession and the credit crunch, and by 2012, a high percentage of reverse mortgage loans were in default. That year more than $1 billion of taxpayers' money was poured into a bailout. Naturally and soon after tougher regulations were adopted. Today, to be eligible for a HECM reverse mortgage, The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) requires that the youngest borrower is a minimum of 62 years old. Although most younger applicants are often the spouses, anyone can apply, including siblings, friends and others. The home which will be used to secure the reverse mortgage of the borrowers must be the primary residence of the applicant(s). No applicant(s) can be in default of any debt to the federal government. If the home is not owned free and clear, any existing mortgage must be paid off using the proceeds from the reverse mortgage loan at closing. In addition a borrower must meet financial eligibility criteria as established by (HUD) Housing and Urban Development. Borrowers must have sufficient financial resources to pay for housing costs such as property taxes, insurance, and maintenance fees.
In general, a good rule of thumb is 50% equity. Although there are no specific dollar limits, the best candidates for reverse mortgages are borrowers who have their home mortgage paid off in full or have a small mortgage balance remaining. If you do have a small existing traditional mortgage, it will be paid off at closing from the proceeds of your reverse mortgage.
If you have a significant outstanding mortgage balance, it may result in minimal cash out. However, with a reverse mortgage you do not have to make monthly mortgage payments. This can provide you the extra money you need to supplement your income in retirement. You do have to continue paying for taxes, insurance and maintenance. You can't take out all of your equity, but the more you have, the greater the available money from your reverse mortgage. Typically you can take up to 60% of your home equity in a reverse mortgage. Loan amounts can increase due to a variety of factors. The older the age of the borrower, the more your home appraises for and the more equity will be available to cash out.
How Would Someone Get Out of a Reverse Mortgage?
Some borrowers may need to move away for one reason or another. A borrower may need to move to a nursing home, move in with their children or simply move to another location or a different state. Whatever the reasons, some borrowers may want to sell their home with a reverse mortgage. A reverse mortgage is a loan that can be repaid at any time and without any penalty.
Therefore, a borrower can sell their home at any time they choose and get out of a reverse mortgage, just like with any traditional mortgage loan. Once you decide to sell your home, you should contact your lender and request a full payoff quote in writing. You may want to retain a real estate agent to help you with the sale process, but it is not required.
You may choose to hire a real estate attorney to ensure that the full payment of your reverse mortgage is handled correctly. Once all liens on your home and any associated fees with your sale are paid off, any and all remaining proceeds will be yours to keep.

5 Red-Hot Stocks Trading Under $10 With Massive Upside Potential


This view is from an early morning outing I did at the end of April and from which I've already posted a number of paintings, around 6 I think so it was a productive morning although I paid the price as my bike got a puncture and I had to walk the last 4 miles home.
This view allowed me to play around with some textural work, something that I am experimenting with watercolour at the moment.
I thought that the pastel would allow me to get the criss-crossing branches easier and also allow me to work up the foliage catching the light in the shadows. I was unhappy with the results and decided to have another go in watercolour. I tried a splattering approach with the foliage on the watercolour and got some wonderful textures, but had to go over a lot of it in order to get the tonal contrast I was after. In the end the result was better but still it lacked the impact that I was after.
I decided to work up a couple of paintings I did as plein air sketches and posted a few weeks ago. I was a bit disappointed with the results and am trying to work out why I feel this way. I think this one could have been done with more textured foreground and less of the ploughed field although I do have a problem with the large amounts of green that that might produce.
This second one might do with increasing the contrasts but again I am concerned with masses of green. I will leave both in the studio and mull over them whilst I get on with something new.
Before my hip operation I tried to get out and about and do some plein air painting whilst I still had my mobility, but the weather quickly deteriorated towards the end of May so here are my only offerings. Ironically just over the hill and trees in this painting is the hospital I had my operation in.
Actually when I came out here I thought that there were some better views, but as I walked about, what I thought could be subjects weren't that good. This seems to be one of my problems with painting outdoors. Eventually I settled on this view, though I did enjoy painting in the late evening sun.
I walked over the bridge and came down onto the canal bank and saw this narrowboat that I thought was mooring for the night. The low sun on it against the dark background was very alluring, so I set up to paint it. I got my initial drawing done, catching the owner on the back of it. I hadn't even finished the drawing when the guy opened up the throttle and my subject sailed away. So I had to make it up and in so doing I think I lost a lot of impact. If only I had taken my camera. Another of plein air painting's perils.
I am in hospital at the moment getting a new hip joint as the old one gave up after years of sport.
I have been taking my pastels down to the sessions of late.
These will be the last life paintings I will do for a while until I get fully mobile again.
But what I might do in the interim is work up some of the quick sketches I've done as they can be more dynamic and interesting than these more static longer poses.
