Late June 2014 saw the fifth conference of partners of Rossiyskaya Gazeta's Directorate of International Projects, which oversees Russia Beyond the Headlines. It was attended by representatives of 26 major newspapers from 22 countries worldwide.
In the company of the world's largest print media, a welcome cocktail was also enjoyed by members of the Presidential Administration, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the State Duma, the Moscow Government, the Federal Press Agency, foreign embassies, big business, and other media.
The RBTH conference also hosted themed lectures and seminars, including: "Shaping the Readership: Expanding the Publication's Cross-Platform Audience", "Developing Non-Media Cooperation to the Benefit of All", "Special Projects and New Sources of Profit," and "Organizing and Promoting Successful Events".
One of the plenary sessions of the RBTH conference was addressed by Jackie Ventom, a partner of The Byrne Partnership, which provides consulting and research services for the RBTH project. "The conference is a great opportunity for everyone to get together to discuss proposals for developing cooperation and to pool experience," she said.

PTC students are a baking sensation!
Our students cooked up a festive treat for their friends and families. The GCSE Food Technology pupils showed off both their cooking and design skills in their Christmas Cake project at the end of this term. Food Technology teacher, Mrs Condlyffe and Principal Mr Kemp were really impressed by the high standard of craftsmanship and creativity.
Mrs Condlyffe said "We wanted to give the projects a real theme this term and the children have put in a great deal of effort and time into their creations and should be very proud of them". The cakes were gift wrapped as presents to parents and friends.

Given Circumstances Quotes
Enjoy reading and share 68 famous quotes about Given Circumstances with everyone.
"Well, first of all, you read the script a million times. Because what the script gives you are given circumstances. Given circumstances are all the facts of your character."
— Viola Davis —
"There are times in every person's life when they feel lonely, isolated, like maybe they don't belong. For adoptees, this is often exacerbated by the circumstances. Because you were given up, you have a built-in scapegoat; you can blame everything that you feel on the fact that you were adopted. But, I want you to know that this is a fallacy. Finding your biological parents will not fill in the void that you feel. You will get answers to your questions, but no one can fill in the missing pieces except for you. Before you go on a search, take the time to get to know yourself very well. Heal the hurts you've experienced. Acknowledge the past and how it has affected you. Become a whole person who is seeking roots, not a damaged person who is seeking fulfillment."
— Janet Louise Stephenson
"Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past. The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. And just as they seem to be occupied with revolutionizing themselves and things, creating something that did not exist before, precisely in such epochs of revolutionary crisis they anxiously conjure up the spirits of the past to their service, borrowing from them names, battle slogans, and costumes in order to present this new scene in world history in time-honored disguise and borrowed language."
— Karl Marx
"There are no books in this world that everybody must read, but only books that a person must read at a certain time in a given place under given circumstances and at a given period of his life."
— Lin Yutang
"... . by the time they have reached the middle of their life's journey, few people remember how they have managed to arrive at themselves, at their amusements, their point of view, their wife, character, occupation and successes, but they cannot help feeling that not much is likely to change anymore. It might even be asserted that they have been cheated, for one can nowhere discover any sufficient reason for everything's coming about as it has. It might just have well as turned out differently. The events of people's lives have, after all, only to the last degree originated in them, having generally depended on all sorts of circumstances such as the moods, the life or death of quite different people, and have, as it were, only at the given point of time come hurrying towards them"
— Robert Musil
"I learned that there are books and there are readers; given even the worst of circumstances, they get together. In the privacy of their own homes or on park benches or on public buses, in the corner of the reference room, at the end of an aisle of fiction, in the middle of the alphabet, they club up and conspire."
— Elizabeth McCracken
"Be truthful, say what you mean and mean what you say, don't ignore the given circumstances."
— Lauren Graham
"A sensible person does not read a novel as a task. He reads it as a diversion. He is prepared to interest himself in the characters and is concerned to see how they act in given circumstances, and what happens to them; he sympathizes with their troubles and is gladdened by their joys; he puts himself in their place and, to an extent, lives their lives. Their view of life, their attitude to the great subjects of human speculation, whether stated in words or shown in action, call forth in him a reaction of surprise, of pleasure or of indignation. But he knows instinctively where his interest lies and he follows it as surely as a hound follows the scent of a fox. Sometimes, through the author's failure, he loses the scent. Then he flounders about till he finds it again. He skips."
— W. Somerset Maugham
"Tests and trials are given to all of us. These mortal challenges allow us and our Heavenly Father to see whether we will exercise our agency to follow His Son. He already knows, and we have the opportunity to learn, that no matter how difficult our circumstances, all these things shall be for our experience, and our good."
— Robert D. Hales
"Collateral learning in the way of formation of enduring attitudes, of likes and dislikes, may be and often is much more important than the spelling lesson or lesson in geography or history that is learned. For these attitudes are fundamentally what count in the future. The most important attitude that can be formed is that of desire to go on learning. If impetus in this direction is weakened instead of being intensified, something much more than mere lack of preparation takes place. The pupil is actually robbed of native capacities which otherwise would enable him [sic] to cope with the circumstances that he meets in the course of his life. We often see persons who have had little schooling and in whose case the absence of set schooling proves to be a positive asset. They have at least retained their native common sense and power of judgement, and its exercise in the actual conditions of living has given them the precious gift of ability to learn from the experiences they have."
"The secret is this: When you have the single mind, you look on your circumstances as God-given opportunities for the furtherance of the gospel, and you rejoice at what God is going to do instead of complaining about what God did not do."
— Warren W. Wiersbe
"By spiritually I merely mean that I feel I have good in my soul and am inclined to follow the correct course of action given a prescribed set of circumstances."
— Jasper Fforde
"Laura says - Everybody's faith needs testing from time to time, I thought it would be amusing to introduce you to someone with a Tina Turner album, and see whether you still felt the same. Rob reflects - ... tonight, I have to confess (but only to myself) that maybe, given the right set of peculiar, freakish, probably unrepeatable circumstances, it's not what you like but what you're like that's important."
— Nick Hornby
"His skeptical silence made me shift uncomfortably. I felt like Aladdin, holding his hand out to Jasmine on the magic carpet. A ridiculous comparison under the given circumstances, and yet oddly apt."
— Nenia Campbell
"A local church can die. This happens when all the old saints in a given place fall asleep and no young saints arise to take their place. Sometimes under these circumstances the congregation ceases to be a church, or there is no congregation left and the doors of the chapel are nailed shut. But such a condition, however deplorable, should not discourage us. The true church is the repository of the life of God among men, and if in one place the frail vessels fail, that life will break out somewhere else. Of this we may be sure."
— A.W. Tozer
"I am slowly coming to the conclusion that it's more important to learn to work with what you've got, under the circumstances you've been given, than wishing for different ones."
— Charlotte Eriksson
"What surprised me most about the Donner tragedy was that, given the terrible circumstances, how anyone survived at all."
— Rodman Philbrick
"I had no idea that I would ever get involved with something like lending money to poor people, given the circumstances in which I was working in Bangladesh."
— Muhammad Yunus
"True adulthood would mean no longer denying the truth. It would mean feeling the repressed suffering, consciously acknowledging the story remembered by the body at an emotional level, and integrating that story instead of repressing it. Whether contact with the parents can then in fact be maintained will depend on the given circumstances in each individual case. What is absolutely imperative is the termination of the harmful attachment to the internalized parents of childhood, an attachment that, though we call it love, certainly does not deserve the name. It is made up of different ingredients, such as gratitude, compassion, expectations, denial, illusions, obedience, fear, and the anticipation of punishment. Time"
— Alice Miller
"Men and women say that they will read, and think so,-those, I mean, who have acquired no habit of reading,-believing the work to be, of all works, the easiest. It may be work, they think, but of all works it must be the easiest of achievement. Given the absolute faculty of reading, the task of going through the pages of a book must be, of all tasks, the most certainly within the grasp of the man or woman who attempts it! Alas, no;-if the habit be not there, of all tasks it is the most difficult. If a man have not acquired the habit of reading till he be old, he shall sooner in his old age learn to make shoes than learn the adequate use of a book. And worse again;-under such circumstances the making of shoes shall be more pleasant to him than the reading of a book."
— Anthony Trollope
"In order that punishment should not be an act of violence perpetrated by one or many upon a private citizen, it is essential that it should be public, speedy, necessary, the minimum possible in the given circumstances, proportionate to the crime, and determined by the law."
— Cesare Beccaria
"In film work, you do the best you can under the given circumstances, but you don't have control. At least, I don't."
— Michael Schoeffling
— Viola Davis
"I'm interested in why people compromise when they shouldn't. It comes back to what V's about in a sense. We've all got ideals, but given the right circumstances, we'll forget about them and put them behind us. I'm very interested in why people do that."
— David Lloyd
"That even in the darkest of times we have the right to expect some illumination, and that such illumination might well come less from theories and concepts than from the uncertain, flickering, and often weak light that some men and women, in their lives and their works, will kindle under almost all circumstances and shed over the time span that was given to them ..."
— Hannah Arendt
"Unless we are willing to accept our artists as they are, the answer to the question, "Who speaks for America today?" will have to be: the advertising agencies. They are entirely capable of showing us our unparalleled prosperity and our almost classless society, and no one has ever accused them of not being affirmative. Where the artist is still trusted, he will not be looked to for assurance. Those who believe that art proceeds from a healthy, and not from a diseased, faculty of the mind will take what he shows them as a revelation, not of what we ought to be but of what we are at a given time and under given circumstances; that is , as a limited revelation but revelation nevertheless."
— Flannery O'Connor
"What everyone on this path shares is the inspiration to rest in uncertainty-cheerfully. The root of suffering is resisting the certainty that no matter what the circumstances, uncertainty is all we truly have. Pema's teachings encourage us to experiment with becoming comfortable with uncertainty, then see what happens. What we call uncertainty is actually the open quality of any given moment. When we can be present for this openness-as it is always present for us-we discover that our capacity to love and care for others is limitless."
— Deirdre Blomfield Brown
"Did we do our best to meet our priorities for that day, based on the given circumstances and unexpected life events? Today agility and fluidity are truly the key elements required-along with patience, compassion, forgiveness, and gentle discipline. Maryrose Solis, founder, March 4ward"
"Eventually I took a square of white chocolate out of the box, and unwrapped it, and then I did something I had never done before. I put the chocolate in my mouth, letting it soften until the last possible moment, and then as I chewed it slowly, I prayed that Mr. Pirzada's family was safe and sound. I had never prayed for anything before, had never been taught or told to, but I decided, given the circumstances, that it was something I should do. That night when I went to the bathroom I only pretended to brush my teeth, for I feared that I would somehow rinse the prayer out as well. I wet the brush and rearranged the tube of paste to prevent my parents from asking any questions, and fell asleep with sugar on my tongue."
— Jhumpa Lahiri
"Law is never so necessary as when it has no ethical significance whatever, and is pure law for the sake of law. The law that compels me to keep to the left when driving along Oxford Street is ethically senseless, as is shewn by the fact that keeping to the right answers equally well in Paris; and it certainly destroys my freedom to choose my side; but by enabling me to count on everyone else keeping to the left also, thus making traffic possible and safe, it enlarges my life and sets my mind free for nobler issues. Most laws, in short, are not the expression of the ethical verdicts of the community, but pure etiquette and nothing else. What they express is the fact that over most of the field of social life there are wide limits within which it does not matter what people do, though it matters enormously whether under given circumstances you can depend on their all doing the same thing."
— George Bernard Shaw
"But America was founded on the principle that every person has God-given rights. That power belongs to the people. That government exists to protect our rights and serve our interests. That we shouldn't be trapped in the circumstances of our birth. That we should be free to go as far as our talents and work can take us."
— Marco Rubio
"Transactional politics requires us to be pragmatic about current realities and the state of public opinion. It's all about getting the best result possible given the circumstances here and now."
— Eric Schneiderman
"A man who has made up his mind on a given subject twenty-five years ago and continues to hold his political opinions after he has been proved to be wrong is a man of principle; while he who from time to time adapts his opinions to the changing circumstances of life is an opportunist."
— A.P. Herbert
"Given the right circumstances, from no more than dreams, determination, and the liberty to try, quite ordinary people consistently do extraordinary things"
— Dee Hock
"In this life, we reap the results of everything that we do; even if the things that we do and the things that we become, are the direct results of circumstances that we could have never controlled, in the first place. They say we are never given more than we can handle; but I don't believe that. We are often given more than we can handle, and that's why so many of us are so broken. The jar breaks when there's too much to handle. The only beauty in all of this, is that jars can be repaired with gold; and because of that, they can become even more beautiful than they were before."
— C. JoyBell C.
"Today he felt life, youth, people slipping away from him, without being able to hold on to any of them, left with the blind hope that this obscure force that for so many years had raised him above the daily routine, nourished him unstintingly, and been equal to the most difficult circumstances
that, as it had with endless generosity given him reason to live, it would also give him reason to grow old and die without rebellion."
"I do not believe there is right or wrong," he said. "there is only doing what one must do under given circumstances and living with the consequences and weaving every experiences, good and bad, into the fabric of one's life so that ultimately one can see the pattern of it all and accept the lessons life has taught."
— Mary Balogh
"The universalist approach is roughly: 'What is good and right can be defined and always applies.' In particularist cultures far greater attention is given to the obligations of relationships and unique circumstances."
— Fons Trompenaars
"I have the confidence that I can take anybody and have them give a good performance, because I don't think there's anything to acting except expressing, being able to converse. So if I can just convince somebody not to clean themselves up, and not to be someone that they're not, and just be what they are in given circumstances, that's all that acting is to me, and I don't think it's very difficult."
— John Cassavetes
"Acting is the ability to live truthfully under the given imaginary circumstances"
— Sanford Meisner
"The "magic if" is a tool invented by Stanislavski, the father of acting craft, is to help an actor make appropriate choices. Essentially, the "magic if" refers to the answer to the question, "What would I do if I were this character in this situation?" Note that the question is not "What would I do if I were in this situation?" What you would do may be very different from what the character would do. Your job, based on your analysis of the script, the scene, and the given circumstances regarding the who of your character, is to decide what he or she would do."
— Bruce Miller
"In the given circumstances you must be rooted in the play. Do not depart from the play. Don't cut yourself off from your partner in the scene, or partners."
— Constantin Stanislavski
"I think your text [script] is everything; it's what informs you; it's what gives you the given circumstances. Then you take that and you add your own creativity and your own spin on things and you make it personal. That's what makes that character and that text unique to you, when you personalize it. I think that's where your job as an actor comes in."
— Matt Bomer
"Whatever the majority of people is doing, under any given circumstances, if you do the exact opposite, you will probably never make another mistake as long as you live."
— Earl Nightingale
"Although we can't control which roles are assigned to us, it must be our business to act our given role as best we possibly can and to refrain from complaining about it. Where ever you find yourself and in whatever circumstances, give an impeccable performance."
— Epictetus
"We can put women on Prozac and they will think they are happy, even though they are not. Disturbed animals in the zoo are given Prozac too, which rather suggests that misery is a response to unbearable circumstances rather than constitutional."
— Germaine Greer
"Because the Holy Spirit is God, we feel Him as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. When He does that, He uses us. He melts us in relationships. He molds us in the pursuit and the direction of His will. He fills us with power and the perseverance to keep at it. He uses as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. Ask the Spirit of God to use you, just as you are, with the gifts and abilities that He's given you. Secure in the confidence that God is in control of your life, you will be free to serve Him with joy and effectiveness."
— Charles R. Swindoll
"I like a person who knows his own mind and sticks to it; who sees at once what, in given circumstances, is to be done, and does it."
— William Hazlitt
"You must be so thoroughly immersed in the given circumstances of the play, then you decide what it is at any given moment what that the actor wants."
"We Americans are free to give our opinions and make our voices heard. We work in a free enterprise economy that, for over 200 years, has lifted countless individuals above the circumstances of their birth to achieve their God-given potential. We have been an exceptional country because, here, people are free to practice their faiths and worship God."
"The ruling power within, when it is in its natural state, is so related to outer circumstances that it easily changes to accord with what can be done and what is given it to do."
— Marcus Aurelius

The 2018 aQuelle Tour Durban presented by Bridge Fund Managers offers cycle riders three route options, including the very popular CYCLOCROSS event that was introduced in 2013. The routes for 2018 will remain largely the same once again, which give you a great opportunity to try and improve on your personal best over the same course. Thanks to the support provided by The City of Durban, the event will once again enjoy road closure.


The winter also has its positive sides. You can eventually ski, snowboard and ice skate again, as well as stomping through the snow and throwing snowballs. For everyone who likes to be outside in the cold and the snow, we've developed this SYMPATEX® thermal coat. The design is not just functional, but also clean and classic. The colour - a rich dark green - is a real stand out feature.
In temperatures around zero and in wet weather, this coat keeps you warm and dry. The SYMPATEX® material and the fleece lining are made of recycled polyester, the waterproofing is free from PFCs and PFOAs, the membrane is free from PTFE and due to the high grade sorting purity, this coat can also be recycled again when you're done with it. Large pockets mean you have enough space for your hands, mobile phone, spare change and ski pass. The adjustable waistband, cuffs and hood also make sure you'll stay warm and are protected from the wind. So get in this coat and get outside! There's no excuse.
Recycled and produced with carbon offset: we're proud to be one of the first brands in the sport and streetwear sector to offer a completely carbon neutrally produced functional jacket together with the membrane manufacturer SYMPATEX® and the climate protection consultancy ClimatePartner.
Despite the conscious choice of environmentally friendly materials and partners, it is inevitable that greenhouse gases are released during the production process. To keep CO2 emissions as low as possible, here at bleed we use only recycled or biodegradable materials in our collections, we keep an eye on water consumption and we use electricity from renewable energy sources.
With the SYMPATEX® Active coat, production takes place in China which means the transportation routes are a bit longer. That's why we wanted to go a step further: together with SYMPATEX® and ClimatePartner, we calculated the environmental footprint that results from producing this jacket and balanced it out by supporting an important forest conservation project in Kenya.

Lie of the Land
The recent Auckland Festival of Photography featured an exhibition entitled `The Lie of the Land`. This was at the Circle Gallery in Newmarket. Organised by AIPA, the exhibition was a visual survey of New Zealand`s native, rural and urban environments featuring imagery created by leading professional photographers from around the country. I had selected one image for this exhibition entitled `Apartment Views`. This was an image I had recently taken whilst undertaking a commercial assignment from the top of an Auckland tower block which enabled a square level view of the apartment balconies. This image can be purchased as an open edition print in either A2 or A3 sizes from the AIPA website fotopia.nz
One of the world's most celebrated musicals, The Phantom of the Opera, is opening in the Civic Theatre, Auckland for a three week run. Based on the 1910 horror novel Le fantime de l'Opeera by Gaston Leroux, this musical tells the story of a disfigured musical genius, living in the dark shadows of the Paris Opera House. Sheltered from the outside world in an underground cavern, the lonely, romantic is hypnotised by the voice of a young soprano. He tutors and composes operas for Christine and as her star rises, a handsome suitor from her past enters the picture. The Phantom grows mad with jealousy, terrorising the opera house owners and company with his murderous ways. And still, Christine finds herself drawn to the mystery man.
The Phantom is played by Chris Crowe, who will notch up 100 performances in this lead role. Barbara Graham plays Christine, whilst Rory Nolan plays Raoul. This production is being staged by the Amici Trust bringing together professional and amateur performers under the direction of Grant Meese. There are also 150 volunteers working to make this production a success. The costumes have been made by the Royal new Zealand Ballet and the New Zealand Opera has built the chandelier.
Having attended the original production back in London 28 years ago with Michael Crawford playing the Phantom and Sarah Brightman as Christine the musical has gone a long way becoming Broadway's longest running show and also having productions in 151 cities in 30 countries around the world. Highly recommended!

Christmas so soon!
Once again I had the pleasure of photographing the rehearsals of The Santa Claus Show by Tim Bray Productions. This show is becoming something of a tradition in its own right as this year it's the 14th production. Santa was played by the regular stalwart Tim Raby who puts his all into making this play something special for the young audience.
It seems no time since I photographed the 2014 production, it has been a busy year and I thank all my clients for their support during the year. I look forward to working with you again in 2016.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year. Take care.
Front Cover – Again!
The Channel Magazine, a monthly publication for the North Shore of Auckland, covering news, views, events and people has once again featured one of my client's on the front cover. The photograph of the main cast for the latest Tim Bray Production – Grandma McGarvey with Grandpa's Slippers is from my publicity shoot where I spent a morning with the cast and crew putting together a selection of images for their publicity and promotion.
Established 24 years ago, Tim Bray Productions is recognised as Auckland's leading theatre for children creating world-class theatre for children most often based on New Zealand literature. Tim believes live theatre is a way to engage children with literature, and to encourage reading. His shows are supported by an ever-growing fan base, being enjoyed by more than 20,000 people a year. Tim Bray produces four shows a year, housed in the quaint and picturesque setting of The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. The timing of the shows is based around the school holiday.
Tim Bray also provides opportunities for children and young people to further engage and become involved in theatre through his Youth Theatre, Theatre Workshops and providing Q&A sessions with the casts and crews.

Erin Simpson – Sky Sport Rugby
At the weekend, I was working at the first rugby match where I did not have to shoot any of the action of the field. Instead I was photographing the behind the scenes action for Sky Television and their start of the new season coverage of 1st XV Rugby. Sky Sport has pumped up its College Rugby coverage with a new show, a new host and more games. Erin Simpson, the former What Now, Sticky TV and The Erin Simpson Show host joins the Rugby Channel's 1ST XV coverage on match days and will front Land Rover 1ST XV Revision, which takes a behind-the-scenes look at schoolboy rugby, the players that have kicked on to bigger things and highlights of every match.
It was a refreshing change not having to concentrate on the match itself, but watch and photograph Erin as she rehearsed and prepared for the live broadcast, interviewing the team captains and player of the match plus making the necessary introductions for the commentary team.
One of the biggest sporting events this year for New Zealand was the Cricket World Cup hosted jointly with Australia. Whilst the final result did not go the way New Zealand wanted, they still managed to put in some epic performances. One of the highlights surely must have been the nail biting finish to the Semi-Final match against South Africa at Eden Park. I was photographing this event for Associated Press (AP) and as one of several photographers they had covering the various matches, had to provide real time images that portrayed the action as it happened. In the end there were in excess of 4000 images transmitted to AP over the seven weeks of the Cricket World Cup by the photographers. AP have now posted a blog with 60 of these images to represent a cross section that reflects the event. Four of my images including this one of South Africa's AB de Villiers falling over as he attempts to run out New Zealand`s Corey Anderson feature in this portfolio.
The Associated Press Blog with all 60 images can be viewed here:
Tropfest is the largest short film festival in the world. This annual short film competition is open to anyone who wishes to enter, regardless of their background or experience. Sixteen finalists are selected from an entry pool of hundreds of entries. Tropfest New Zealand films are unique in that they have all been made specifically for local Tropfest NZ.
The Tropfest event is free to attend being an outdoor celebration complete with music and entertainment, public catering, red carpet arrivals and the highly anticipated film screenings followed by an awards ceremony.
This year the winning film was called `Every Moment` which was directed by Gabriel Reid, and produced by Maile Daugherty together with Gabriel Read and edited by Dan Martin.
The Synopsis – Life is full of ups and downs – but every moment counts — is based on a stage play `Hotel` by Thomas Sainsbury and was filmed at Hotel De Brett in Auckland. The lead actors were Aaron McGregor and Bree Peters who also won the best actress award.
Michael Jackson was 50 years old when he died and although that was more than six years ago, the King of Pop's legacy lives on. Thriller Live, a spectacular concert created to celebrate the career of the world's greatest entertainer, is in New Zealand for the first time. In London's West End the show has entered its seventh year.
Unlike other tribute musicals such as Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You, this show is just over two hours of non-stop Jackson hits, which gives true credit to the popularity and success of all his music.
Sean Christopher portrays the great King of Pop in a surreal way as he performs Billy Jean with all the movements and actions associated with Michael Jackson without showing his face until the song is over.
Thriller Live plays at the Civic Theatre Auckland.
Auckland, one of the first cities to welcome in the new year, celebrated with the traditional fireworks extravaganza from the Sky Tower, the southern hemisphere's tallest man-made structure. At midnight on New Year's Eve, a famous eight minute firework display setting the skyline alight signalled the start of 2015.
This year I had been asked by Getty Images to cover the firework display. With the weather forecast not too promising with the prospect of rain and bad weather, I decided that a close vantage point was necessary. The surrounding cityscape would be missing but I had a better chance of capturing the fireworks should the rain arrive. So having checked the likely wind direction I found a good vantage point clear of obstruction in Victoria Street West. I arrived early to set up and to make sure of a parking space nearby to provide additional protection from the forecast of rain. As midnight approached , the sky was cloudy but no sign of the threatening rainclouds. A group of spectators joined me, assuming that I must have a good vantage point and on the dot of midnight the fireworks began their eight minute display. I shot several exposures all in manual mode with a shutter speed of around 5 seconds or so. Eight minutes passes quickly when shooting like this. As soon as the display was over and as the nearby crowd were wishing each other a happy new year I was back in the car and downloading the images to my laptop, preparing them for immediate dispatch to the Getty Images picture desk. Whilst Auckland may not have the biggest or best display it being the first usually guarantees worldwide usage. This year proved no exception, within minutes my images were appearing on the BBC, NBC, The Daily Telegraph and many major newspapers and news websites around the world.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my website and have a happy new year.
The Santa Claus Show by Tim Bray, with songs by Christine White. A magical Christmas story for the whole family. It's the story of Alana and Kelly, named for Tim Bray's nieces, who are very different. Kelly and Alana are best friends and decide to write to Santa Claus. Alana has just one wish for Christmas – a selfless one at that – whereas Kelly's wish list would use a ream of paper. When her letter arrives at the North Pole, Elfie, the Chief Elf, chooses to bring her to help Santa with his Christmas Eve task. Santa helps reveal the pleasure of giving.
The Santa Claus Show was first performed in 1991. Starring Tim Raby in the title role for his tenth season playing Santa's double and Adam Burrell as Elfie who introduces us to a Santa for the 21st century, fully equipped with email, a Facebook page and a Twitter account.
Delighting children at Christmas for many years, 'The Santa Claus Show' continues to bring magic and meaning to this special time of the year. Make 'The Santa Claus Show' part of your family's Christmas traditions.

Get fit with fellow fans at Adams Park!
It's not too late to sign up for the Sports & Education Trust's Football Fans In Training programme!
Football Fans in Training is a hugely successful lifestyle programme aimed at men aged 35 – 65 years old and with a waist size of 38 inches or more.
Delivered at professional clubs, by professional clubs, participants get the chance to learn about healthy nutrition, healthy lifestyle choices, and take part in gentle physical activity which builds up to hopefully taking part in regular football sessions.
Following a funding grant kindly given by the Sports Council Trust Company, WWSET completed delivery of the first 12 week FFIT programme over the summer which aimed to engage with WWFC fans and help them improve their health and wellbeing as well as providing an opportunity to gain a behind-the-scenes look at Wycombe Wanderers.
For anybody who feels they or anybody they know might like to get involved in either of the remaining two FFIT programmes (scheduled to begin on 6th September 2017 and 10th January 2018), please don't hesitate to get in touch with WWSET's Community Health Manager Sam Parker (sam.parker@wwfc.com) who will be only too happy to explain more about the programme and answer any questions you may have.
Each week's FREE session during the programme was split between relaxed and supportive classroom based activity in the Matrix Centre (the dedicated education suite at Adams Park) where participants explored ways in which to make subtle changes to their diet, nutrition and lifestyle to achieve maximum benefit, as well as ways in which to effectively and sustainably introduce elements of physical activity into their daily lives to realise associated health benefits.
Following the time spent in the Matrix Centre, participants would move outside where they would be put through their paces using the stadium as a large gym area. The stairs in the stands, the pitch, the car park and the marquee were all used by WWSET's professional coaches as well as other professional sports providers to deliver a wide range of physical activities and exercises.
We are pleased to report that all the effort that the participants put in over the past three months has certainly been worth it and fantastic results have been achieved.
Of the nine guys who completed the programme, a total weight loss of 44.5kg was achieved…that's over seven stone!
In addition the guys managed to reduce their waist sizes by a massive combined total of 42.5cm, which is incredible considering the fact that the FFIT programme concentrates on education and awareness regarding fitness and nutrition, and promotes making only small changes to dietary intake and exercise levels in order to implement slow, manageable but most importantly long-lasting behaviour changes.
There are numerous reasons why the first FFIT programme delivered by WWSET has been so successful, but one of the main ones was due to the sense of camaraderie that the group quickly created between themselves.
However, from day one, all the guys built up great relationships and supported each other along the journey. A Facebook group was created where the guys regularly posted achievements and challenges as well as words of encouragement and advice to the others trying to reach their personal goals.
Another critical factor that the participants identified as being a key motivator to succeed was the involvement of the football club they support. All participants were given a free WWFC kit in order to promote a team dynamic and work ethic, and the fantastic setting of Adams Park, home to the team they all care so much about, proved to be an inspiring place to learn and develop.
"Though I easily walk on my own, I find it more difficult to motivate myself to do regular physical exercises. Working together and supporting each other as a group and even through the Facebook page made the whole experience more enjoyable and easier".
"Seeing results has made the FFIT programme really enjoyable. In addition, the venue is great – and going on the pitch was great. I also liked being given the kit, enjoyed the company of the guys and enjoyed the exercise, we all struggle and puff but I don't feel awkward or embarrassed".
"I particularly enjoyed the camaraderie with the guys as we all had a common goal. I learned a lot about nutrition, calories and fitness, and thought that the course was really well-presented, especially as it was the first for WWFC and Sam & Andy".
So, in summing up, WWSET would like to say huge congratulations to all the participants who have achieved so much during the 12 week programme, and let them know that everybody associated with the club hopes they continue to lead a healthier (and happier) lifestyle long into the future! Furthermore, we look forward to seeing them again as all graduates are invited to pop in on future sessions as our "legends" to share stories with the new cohorts and be a part of the ever growing FFIT team.

Stroll through its streets and breathe in the cultural past of this colourful district
A picturesque district, overflowing with art
Blues, greens, pinks..., all the pastel colours that you can imagine decorate the small houses in the district of las Peñas. It's an essential part of your visit to Guayaquil. Its history goes back more than a century. However, its architecture imitates the style of the 18th and 19th centuries which is where its real charm lies. Legend has it that Che Guevara and Ernest Hemingway stayed here, amongst other famous people, when they visited the city. During the 18th century, it was a bohemian epicentre of artists, politicians and the middle classes that met outdoors in the streets at night and at the mercy of the mosquitos. Unfortunately, the district went up in flames in the horrific fire of 1896 that devastated the city and although it was rebuilt, it endured another new fire in 1902. After the last recovery -and the first fire brigades-, Las Peñas was kept safe and is still a centre of art, particularly during the festival of July.

WarnerMedia Names Digital Vet Jason Kilar CEO Ahead Of HBO Max Launch In May
WarnerMedia has a new top executive.
The media division of AT&T, formed in the wake of its acquisition of Time Warner, has tapped Jason Kilar as CEO, effective May 1. Kilar, a storied digital media vet, was the founding CEO of Hulu and a former SVP at Amazon. He also notably launched now-defunct Vessel, a digital video upstart that provided early access to content from top YouTubers, which was acquired by Verizon in 2016.
Kilar will overee WarnerMedia's various operating divisions, including HBO, Turner, Warner Bros., and Otter Media. He joins the media conglomerate ahead of the highly-anticipated launch of its forthcoming HBO Max SVOD service, which is slated for May. Kilar will report to John Stankey, who formerly served as the CEO of WarnerMedia, but was elevated to the role of president and COO of AT&T in September. There has been some speculation that Stankey will eventually assume the AT&T CEO role, succeeding current chief Randall Stephenson.
"Jason is a dynamic executive with the right skill set to lead WarnerMedia into the future," Stankey said in a statement. "His experience in media and entertainment, direct-to-consumer video streaming, and advertising is the perfect fit for WarnerMedia, and I am excited to have him lead the next chapter of WarnerMedia's storied success."
Kilar served as co-founder and CEO of Hulu from 2007 to 2013, and held the same responsibilities at Vessel from 2013 to 2017. Given Kilar's past experience in the SVOD business, WarnerMedia's appointment indicates its high hopes for HBO Max — even in an increasingly crowded streaming market and at a tenuous time for the coronavirus-stricken entertainment industry, when countless productions have been shuttered to stem the pandemic's spread.

In today's speeches and demos from the big dogs at Huawei, we've heard a lot about the camera – which seems like a pretty good place to start. After all, it features some amazing tech that's never been seen on a smartphone before. This is the first time in the world that we've seen an ultra-wide-angle triple Leica camera.
OK, that sounds impressive, but you want detail. Right - well, the 5x zoom lens makes subjects that are far away appear closer to the camera giving you brilliant detail. And just imagine the incredible landscape shots you'll be able to get with that wide-angle lens! There's macro photography that lets you capture astonishing detail from just 2.5cm. Finally on the camera, the clever AI will make sure you always get a great shot. It understands what you're snapping, where you are and adjusts its settings to give you the best possible pic.
One of the other things that got this room of tech journos really excited was the screen. This 6.39-inch full HD display will keep you captivated when you're catching up on a box set. It's so immersive, you'll have to make sure you don't miss your stop – you have been warned! And because the screen is so big you can see and do more. Prepare to be blown away by detail and colour – and for your pictures and videos to look absolutely stunning.
If you're one of those people that never closes down any of your apps – you know who you are! – the Huawei Mate 20 Pro has got your back. Because of its fast octa-core processor and 6GB RAM, you can throw anything at it. Run all the apps you want, and enjoy a smooth experience with no lag.
Oh, and we must mention the Mate 20 Pro's monster of a battery. 4,200mAh is just about as big as you'll get anywhere, and it'll keep you going all day long.
There are so many good things about the Mate 20 Pro we haven't had a chance to mention yet, from the smart video editing feature to the fingerprint reader in its display and the massive 128GB internal storage. And there's the cool animojis feature that brings objects to life – we'll have to add that to our hands-on, coming soon.
But there's one more thing we just have to make time for, and that's the fact that you can actually use the phone as a charger to give other devices a boost. It's the world's first wireless reverse charge, and you could end up being a right lifesaver for friends who are short of battery. Pretty cool, right?
If we sound excited, it's because we are – and you should be too. In the run up to this event, Huawei have been telling us how 'a higher intelligence is coming'. Well, from where we're sitting (actually standing – it's rather busy), it looks like it's arrived.
This could just be the best Android phone of the year so far, and you can order it from Carphone Warehouse now.
Have you got your eye on the Huawei Mate 20 Pro? What feature are you most looking forward to? Let us know below the line.


Unlike the crystal clear picture streaming through your favorite online service, the lines between traditional brand advertising and direct response have never been more blurred. Both, however, face the same challenges, in an ever-changing media landscape that evolves as fast as the devices we consume with.
Decision making in the world of analytics is now driven by aggregated response and customer data, leading to a true hybrid approach. A high level understanding of how the sands are shifting in the market will serve buyers and agencies well as they as they evaluate more granular opportunities in the coming year.
More content equates to more impressions. A recent Nielsen projection for the upcoming season estimates there will be 119.6 million TV homes in the U.S. market; a 1.2 million increase in households from the National Television Household Universe Estimates from the previous '16-'17 season. While accounting for "cord-cutters" in the process, these new estimates lend weight to the messages coming out of the TV upfronts this year that – despite the decline in linear ratings – overall viewership is at its highest level to date. Understanding and quantifying the shifting marketplace will be imperative for buyers and agencies as they evaluate national TV opportunities in the coming year. Take the NFL, for example: TV ratings were down in 2016 and yet CPMs in key demos are on the rise this year. This is due in part to major gains seen by the networks amongst adults 25-54.
Over half of adults in the U.S. say they have Netflix in their household, according to a recent study (Leichtman Research Group). Regardless of all the attention these streaming services garner, linear TV isn't going anywhere in the immediate future, but the changing viewing habits of consumers does need to be considered when planning for clients. Despite the $1 billion (billion with a "B"!) in total marketing expenses Netflix intends to spend this year, the biggest percentage of overall TV viewing is still commanded by traditional TV networks;viewers just may not be parked on the couch at 8:00PM to watch their favorite shows as they have been in the past. Buyers can take stock in that people will eventually find their way to that programming now via DVR, On-Demand, or through a digital platform. The new consumption habits of viewers today are here to stay, as is the current TV landscape. Marketers willing to adapt to these changes to more finely target their preferred audience will ultimately rule the day.
In an effort to avoid being left behind by the likes of Amazon, HBO and Hulu, networks like AMC and FX are following suit and doing away with ads in their new offerings (much to the chagrin on media buyers everywhere). With new deals in place, Comcast customers will have the ability to access these network's programming sans advertising via on-demand and streaming, all for another additional monthly fee ($4.99-$5.99) tacked right onto their bill. What this means for buyers is the continued dilution of the available media offerings in the marketplace. As we look down the road however, the prevailing thought within the industry seems to be that a shift like this, which provides a small but immediate challenge to the behemoth known as Netflix, will serve to strengthen these ultimately ad-supported networks as they aim to drive audiences towards their most viewed and critically acclaimed offerings.
The explosion of à la carte offerings in the media world has transformed the industry landscape. Advertisers should rest assured that their audience is still out there, and discerning marketers will need to adjust in order to reach their targets.

Baseball's Leading Lady
Effa Manley and the Rise and Fall of the Negro Leagues
Author: Andrea Williams
It was 1946 in New York—early fall, September. It was that electric season that bridged the smothering heat of summer and the iciness of winter with brisk mornings and cooler nights, the time when kids were settling into their school-day routines and the baseball games played on diamonds across the country mattered most.
New York was the epicenter of America's pastime then, and there were enough teams around town for every fan to choose their favorite. Some followed the New York Giants and their right fielder, Mel Ott, the pure power hitter who led his team in home runs for eighteen consecutive seasons—a record that's yet to be broken. Others flocked to the legendary Ebbets Field to see the Brooklyn Dodgers take on the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago Cubs, and the crosstown Giants, too. Others, still, pledged allegiance to the New York Yankees, with their pinstripes signifying a team that was all business, all the time, and their ten World Series championships from 1923 to 1943 the indisputable proof.
But on September 17, 1946, the biggest, most important baseball game in New York didn't feature Yogi Berra or the Babe. That evening, it was Black baseball's finest on display. The Negro American League's Kansas City Monarchs and the Negro National League's Newark Eagles were facing off at the Polo Grounds in Upper Manhattan for Game 1 of the Negro World Series. So while the Polo Grounds usually featured the hometown Giants, Ott and his teammates had given way to the Monarchs' Satchel Paige and Hilton Smith, along with the Eagles' Larry Doby and Monte Irvin.
From her seat in the owner's box, Effa Manley surveyed the crowd of Black and brown fans. The men wore three-piece suits, the women, veiled fascinators and wide-brimmed hats. All were clad in their Sunday best, and Effa was dressed to the nines, too. Black baseball games were always an occasion—the rare family-friendly event on the social calendar—but this game was even more special. Through twelve seasons of uncertainty, on and off the field, this moment was Effa's wildest dreams come true.
Effa turned her attention to the diamond, to her Eagles scattered around the dirt and grass during warm-ups. They were a glorious-looking crew, classy and handsome, and they would look even better during Game 2 at Ruppert Stadium. Then they'd be clad in their bright white uniforms so new that the flannel of the jerseys would still be crisp and firm against their skin.
Abe, Effa's husband and co-owner of the Eagles, had been surprised when she decided to purchase the uniforms for a staggering $700. Normally, player uniforms had to be unraveling at the seams before Effa would consider replacing them; even then, it was the catcher and pitcher, maybe the infield basemen, who got outfitted. The fans could see them more clearly, she reasoned, so they needed to be the best-dressed on the field. Black baseball may have been operating on a shoestring compared with the white pro teams, but Effa saw no reason for her team to look penniless—even if it sometimes was.
No, there would be no hardship on display during the '46 Negro World Series. If anything, there would be celebration—of Black baseball, of Black community, of new Black money that had come streaming into the community via the war and accompanying hiring sprees. Effa and her Eagles had experienced many lean years, but these prosperous times had made it all worth it.
There were more than nineteen thousand people milling about the stadium that September night, and Effa was thankful for every one. So many of them had been around for years, supporting the team since its inaugural season in 1935, back when a Negro World Series was unfathomable. Now they were there to witness history.
Back on the field, Leon Day, the Eagles' star pitcher, tossed balls to catcher Biz Mackey while Effa watched silently. A Newark victory was close—so close that Effa could feel it. Yet even as her chest swelled with pride and possibility, she couldn't shake the worry that gathered in the corners of her mind.
No matter the jubilation that surrounded her, Effa knew that the future of the Eagles—the future of all of Negro Leagues Baseball, in fact—was in jeopardy.
By the time that first game of the 1946 Negro World Series rolled around, Effa had already spent years on the battlefield for Black baseball. She'd confronted Branch Rickey when he signed Jackie Robinson without paying the Kansas City Monarchs for his contract—and that was before he had the nerve to pilfer one of her own Eagles players. She'd argued with other owners of Black baseball teams, pleading with them to tighten up their business affairs for respectability's sake. She'd even challenged Black sportswriters who advocated for baseball's integration without considering the real, lasting effect it would have on the Negro Leagues.
Effa loved baseball, to be sure, but it was more than just the crack of the bat and the thrill of triumph that drew her to the game. She saw the Negro Leagues as a vehicle to transport the Black community to a position of equality in American society, to provide jobs and financial stability where they were sorely lacking, and to give Black boys and girls regular opportunities to witness victory when so much of their lives was mired in defeat.
That Effa was a successful team owner and league executive in the highly competitive world of professional baseball is laudable. That she was successful as a Black woman in the 1930s and '40s, when gender discrimination hung like a heavy harness around the necks of all women, is extraordinary. Still, Effa didn't draw attention to her otherness; she didn't flaunt her pioneering efforts in meetings or press conferences. Most of the time, if asked, she credited her husband for her achievements. That was the socially acceptable way to handle things back then, to be sure, but Effa also had other reasons for shifting attention away from her groundbreaking presence in professional baseball, even when others chose to focus on it. Namely, she was busy.
Effa had games to win.
Eagles ace Leon Day was shaky from the very start of Game 1 between Newark and Kansas City, allowing the Monarchs to score their first run in the top of the opening inning. And despite having five players who hit above .300 during the regular season, the Eagles couldn't counter with a run of their own in the bottom of the first. Meanwhile, Hilton Smith, Kansas City's starting pitcher, was near perfect. He held the Eagles scoreless for five innings, but Smith's reliable arm began to waver after the fifth inning, and after walking Larry Doby to lead off the sixth, his teammate, the legendary Satchel Paige, was brought in for relief. It was like trading a tornado for a hurricane.
As soon as he took the mound, Paige struck out Eagles utility player Monte Irvin and first baseman Lennie Pearson. Doby did manage to steal second base, but with two outs, Effa still had cause for concern. Even though the Eagles were playing less than thirty miles away from Newark, at the supposedly neutral Polo Grounds, they hadn't been able to leverage their near home-field advantage to get on top.
But then: hope!
Doby, the quiet second baseman who would later follow Jackie Robinson and become the second Black player in the Majors, scored on a single from outfielder Johnny Davis that smacked into the right-field wall.
Just like that, the score was tied at 1, and Effa's team was right back in the game.
When the Eagles went back on defense in the top of the seventh, the crowd was enraptured, the cheers deafening. This was the Eagles' opportunity. If they could keep the mighty Monarchs scoreless for the next three innings, Newark might be able to secure a victory after all.
But Satchel Paige refused to stop fighting! He'd already proven his dominance on the mound, and when he stepped up to the plate in the seventh inning, he showed that he could also answer Newark's comeback with his bat. Paige hit the ball up the middle of the infield, where it careened off the glove of Eagles relief pitcher Rufus Lewis for a single. Then, when Doby fielded the ball, he overthrew first base on the attempted putout, allowing Paige to advance to second.
With another Monarchs player in scoring position, Effa was once again worrying, hoping, praying …
But in the end, her prayers weren't enough.
Herb Souell, the Monarchs' third baseman, singled to left field, and Paige coasted home, pushing the team from Kansas City back into the lead. The score was 2–1, and it would remain that way through the eighth and ninth innings, sending Effa and her Eagles back to Newark down one game in the series.
Effa took a loss as hard as any man in baseball. She thought her boys were the best, and when they failed to meet her incredibly high standards, her emotions came bursting forth like floodwaters from a dam. The loss to the Monarchs was tough, but it wasn't just the score that disappointed Effa. The Eagles were wrapping up their best year in team history, and the defeat felt ominous, like a sign of horrible things to come. The hard-fought game, the too-close score, the win that was just out of reach …
It was a stern reminder—the tangible evidence—that no matter how hard she and her team fought, they just might lose after all.

Baseball's Leading Lady is the powerful true story of the first and only woman inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame, expertly told by Andrea Williams.
For fans of Hidden Figures and Steve Sheinkin's Undefeated, Andrea Williams's Baseball's Leading Lady is the powerful true story of Effa Manley, the first and only woman inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Before Jackie Robinson broke Major League Baseball's color barrier in 1947, Black athletes played in the Negro Leagues--on teams coached by Black managers, cheered on by Black fans, and often run by Black owners.
Here is the riveting true story of the woman at the center of the Black baseball world: Effa Manley, co-owner and business manager of the Newark Eagles. Elegant yet gutsy, she cultivated a powerhouse team. Yet just as her Eagles reached their pinnacle, so did calls to integrate baseball, a move that would all but extinguish the Negro Leagues.
On and off the field, Effa hated to lose. She had devoted her life to Black empowerment--but in the battle for Black baseball, was the game rigged against her?

This new doco reveals the full story behind cricket's infamous underarm bowl

The full story of cricket's infamous underarm incident of 1981 has never been told – until now.
Sporting drama often proves more ephemeral than we think at the time. Most thrilling wins, crushing victories and controversial calls fade into the background as the years – or even months – pass. Who can really remember what happened last season?
But the final ball of the cricket World Series match between New Zealand and Australia on February 1, 1981, is not one of those moments. As the interviews in Underarm: The Ball That Changed Cricket (Prime, Sunday, 8.30pm) show, everyone remembers what happened that day. Everyone – even the bewildered fans watching on TV – has a story.

Greg Chappell, the Australian captain who ordered his younger brother Trevor (pictured below) to bowl that last ball underarm to cut off the very small chance of Brian McKechnie hitting a six to tie the match, seems as steely now as Chappell the player. He explains the pressure he was under as captain matter-of-factly, with regret but without really begging sympathy. Trevor insists the episode didn't blight his life, when his demeanour suggests otherwise. And McKechnie, as he's drawn to the moment of the delivery, palpably wells up.
"It's fascinating that there are a whole lot of feelings still there not far below the surface for all of them," says co-producer Dan Salmon. "Which is partly because no one's quite understood why it happened."
Salmon, a "cricket agnostic", was hesitant about taking on the story, but changed his mind when he realised that for all that the underarm delivery has become a cultural symbol of the relationship between the two countries, "there hadn't been a long-form telling-of from both sides".

He shared the helm with Lee Baker, whom he describes as "an absolute cricket nut". The fruit of their duelling perspectives is solid enough on cricket lore for obsessives (who will also enjoy a rare catch-up with Geoff Howarth) but open enough for everyone else.
Ironically, as former Black Cap turned sporting commentator Ian Smith acknowledges, Chappell's decision was the making of New Zealand cricket. If the Aussies had to stoop that low to win, we were no longer the easybeats. It's also a story about the dawn of modern professional sport. Chappell was captain in the old gentleman's style, where teams often didn't even have coaches. Everything fell to him, and he cracked.
"He was even organising physio for the injured players!" Salmon observes. "And doing the media – there were no buffers."
