Hello everyone, I am currently in my third year as a biology undergraduate major at the City College of New York. I graduate next year and wanted to ask for opinions on whether or not I should apply to PA programs immediately after graduation. At the moment I have a 3.91 GPA, straight As in my science courses, have shadowed one PA for a few hours, and have over 200 hours volunteering at an ENT hospital. However, my plan after graduation is to work as an EMT to gain credible health care experience to put on my application. In your opinions, are my current credentials sufficient enough for PA programs to consider me as a serious candidate? Or should I take a gap year to focus on obtaining more experience to put on my application? If so, any advice or recommendations? Any responses are much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I know this is a reach, swimming in a sea of several other posts desperate for experience shadowing a PA. I'm just another in Saint Petersburg, Florida looking to spend time with one for a week or two to solidify my career goals (though I'm sure medicine is my calling!).

Hello there! My name is Evelyn Uttikur and I am currently a pre-PA student that resides in Queens.

My schedule is flexible and I'll do my best to accommodate to your time/availability.
shadowing Anyone know a PA near Albany, NY??
I'm having a hard time finding PAs to shadow, I was only able to one so far. I'm a Bio B.S grad of UAlbany and currently work as a PCT at Albany Med. I have tried both AMC and SPH but no luck. I have called a lot of clinics not affiliated with AMC or SPH too. (AMC called me back and told me to stop cold calling their clinics ? and no luck with SPH) and they have either given me the run around or told me "no" due to HIIPPA or that their PAs don't want the extra responsibility of a shadow. Does anyone one know a PA in the area. It seems that the only way to convince a PA for shadow is to have some connections. Cold calling is not working. I would really appreciate any advice!! Feel free to DM me.

Hello, I am a student doing my bachelor's and was wondering if there are any PA in Long Island -preferably in Northwell or Winthrop hospital - that are willing to take a shadow on. I am trying to get my shadowing hours complete before starting CASPA. Thank You!
Hi everyone! I submitted my CASPA in the middle of may and it was verified around may 20th I believe, but in the past few weeks after submitting I was able to successfully get in contact with multiple PAs and begin shadowing them. I already updated my CASPA once to reflect my first shadowing position, but now I have started shadowing another PA and I want to add that to my CASPA experiences as well. Will it look bad to schools that I am updating my application so often or will it make any difference? I just dont want it to come off as looking bad on their end but I want to add in my experiences to show what I have been doing. Thanks so much!
Hi guys!I graduated in 2017 and on my track to dental school. I actually applied to dental school that year but got rejected to all because I took my DAT too late. However, later tht year I decided that dentistry isn't for me, plus I'm not ready to take on a huge debt afterwards (300-500k sounds scary too me). So i'm changing my goal towards PA. I started researching PA programs and most of them accept my dental assistant hours as PCE. I have around 400-500 hours so i'm planning to finish my prereq (anat, physio, micro) by the end of this fall. Then do either CNA or phlembotomist programs and work for 1 year and a half to collect hours. I'm aiming at 2000-3000 hours. Do you guys think this is a good plan? Or do people generally have way more hours than this?I'm also concerned about why PA schools actually accept dental assistant hours? I know DA have patient interactions but aren't those more towards dental school? Won't they question why am I even applying to PA schoool? If i use those hours, will they ask why not dentistry? I mean i think it's probably gonna come up during the interview anyways. But will it look bad to have DA hours?Also, most programs require one letter from a clinician. I 'm still looking for a doctor, PA, or NP to shadow. I'm puttin NP on my list since PA and NP are so similar. I'm wondering if it's necessary to shadow a PA? I know some programs said it's 'recommended' but would it be ok if i shadow NP (i'm planning to ask my NP if I could shadow her). I'm also wondering about LOR. Since most schools want LOR from any clinician, would it be okay if I actually use my dentist's LOR tht I used to apply to dental school?? I'm not sure if it will look bad for PA schools but im actually really close to my dentist since I worked and shadowed him for almost 2 years. and I outlined my own LOR for him to edit so i know it's a strong LOR too lolAlso, how wuld the schools confirmed that our hour are accurate? Will the schools need our clinicians to sign somethng? I don't have such form from my dentist or the physicians I shadowed back 4 years ago Sorry, I'm still new to PA field and still doing research about it. So if some of my questions are too easy to answer, I apologize in advance!! Thank you again for helping me out!
My name is Talia and I plan to be a PA. Right now I am a sophomore in HS and I have great grades and will be looking for programs next year. I'd like to have my first shaowing experience, so I am open to specialty. I just need a break. I am available all hours over the summer and after school in the fall. Thanks!
Hi everyone, I am looking for the opportunity to shadow a PA in Boston. There is only one very competitive shadowing program here so I was wondering if there are any PAs that would personally want a shadow-ee :) Thank you!
Hello all! I'm a recent CU Denver graduate and a first-generation student. I'm applying to PA school this year, but I'm having a little trouble finding PA's to shadow . I'd love to gain more exposure to sports med, emergency med, ortho, surgery, psych, or primary care, but I'd also be more than happy to shadow under any other setting. If there are any PA shadowing opportunities out there, then please let me know! Thanks!


The RV has returned to us, repaired and shiny. What does this mean for us? Twice as much work as before!! Still have to finish getting the house ready for sale, but now we have to clean and load the RV as well. Fortunately, it is in very good shape cleanliness wise so we just need to lightly go over everything before we start cramming our stuff inside.
Debbie and Charlie, We are so happy for you. We will be in Va by April 19 hope we will get to see you and your dream coach before you start your journey.


We had a number of parents attend our Science Open Morning on Wednesday 13th of March. Thank you to those parents who were able to come along. We received a lot of positive feedback about the event both from parents and from pupils.
I would also like to thank Mr Hackett and Mr Fowles not only for organising the event but also for the interest and enthusiasm they have generated in school about Science. I am regularly stopped by children who are eager to tell me about something new that have learned in class or found out about at home and I cannot help but be impressed by their general knowledge and understanding! I am sure that we have some future scientists in the making!
You may have noticed groups of our pupils outside the school on Wednesday mornings. They have been reminding drivers about road safety outside the school every Wednesday in March. Unfortunately, we are still having cases of some parents stopping in the middle of the road to drop their children off or parking on the zig zag lines in front of the school. If you must drive your child to school, please leave a little earlier and park further afield to avoid congestion in Salisbury Road and minimise the risk of one of our children getting hurt.
Thank you to those who took part in the hat making competition and who donated to the charity. Some of the hats were really impressive and showed great artistic talent!
The event raised a total of £119.36. We would like to express a special thank you to Mrs Lucke and the Student Council for organising the event.
Thank you so much for all your kind donations to our Healthy Snack Stall. The stall has been very popular and has been run by Mrs Lucke, our School Council and a few other willing volunteers. So far the children have raised £162.58 towards their target of £1000 for some additional playground resources and further playground improvements.
You can now book on to the Premier clubs starting in the Summer term. Please visit their website www.premier-education.com or call 01953 499040 to book your child's place.
Well done to the boys' football team for a great game against Harold Wood Primary. Unfortunately, we lost 3:1 and have been knocked out of the cup but we really have had a great season and stayed in the tournament as far as the quarter finals. Thank you boys for your effort, enthusiasm, sportsmanship and teamwork. You represented the school well and we are all extremely proud of you!
'Just wanted to say what a lovely school Squirrels Heath is. The players were fantastic and you could see the love and passion they have for football. The parents and teachers were amazing too. I refereed the whole game and it was a great atmosphere. The parents helping out were polite, respectful and very enthusiastic. A big thank you to Squirrels Heath for an amazing experience and thank you Mrs King for making the extra effort with biscuits and juice after the game'.
Well done to everyone involved, including all the adults who assisted the boys at various matches and Mrs King and Mr Leslie.
Just a polite reminder to ensure that your child's sQuid account is regularly topped up. If your account falls into arrears of £4.40 or more we will not be able to allow your child to choose a school dinner and you will be required to provide a packed lunch for your child until the account is topped up.
The children will be having their class photographs taken on Wednesday 10th April. All children must wear their full school uniform including their Red sweatshirt / cardigan for the photo.
Unfortunately, there are still a number of children who do not have a P.E. kit in school. Last week in school a total of 40 children were sent to the office to borrow a kit. As you can appreciate, this causes a great deal of disruption to lessons as well as to staff in the office. The Easter holidays may be a good time to ensure that any missing items of kit are replaced. We would greatly appreciate your support with this.

Bill Lee presents The Baseball Necrology - Live
My wife, LaVonne, and I spent a number of years researching the information that went into The Baseball Necrology, a book that was published by McFarland and Company, Publishers, in 2004. The intent of that research was to find what baseball players, whose playing careers are relatively short, did after their baseball careers. In most cases that information can only be found in obituaries. Consequently, our research became a "death" thing and was compounded when McFarland put the word "Necrology" into the title of the book. Thus, our research became a short abstract of obituaries (necrologies) for every player who had appeared in a major league game since 1876.
Since the book was published in 2004 baseball players have continued to die. From that time until the end of 2013 I continued to maintain current player's deaths on this website that contains all the material in the book plus player's deaths since the book was published. This website also contains photos of gravesite memorials for more than 2,000 players. An index to those player's records that have gravesite photos may be found at baseballundertaker.com/gravesites.html.
Sadly, the baseball necrology project came to a halt at the end of 2013 as more pressing projects, which had been put on the back burner, needed attention. So, with rare exception, short obituaries of every baseball player that ever appeared in a major league game since 1876 and had died prior to 2014 appears on this site. Just enter a player's name, point, click and enjoy.

The late 80s jam was on repeat in my mind the other night as I laid in bed attempting to get even the slightest bit of sleep before waking up at ungodly hours of the morning to say goodbye to my Mama who headed on a short work trip, and then waking up a couple hours later again to get myself ready to leave.
And it continues to beat around in my head as I resume the role of head chef. And of dishwasher. The volume gets turned up as my half unpacked suitcase stares at me with its content of clothes begging to be put back in their rightful place.
It gets even louder as I walk past the piles of laundry in the hallway that somehow seem to have taken on yeast like qualities because they keep rising and rising, even as we speak.
I may or may not still have Christmas decorations up. I'm still within a month of the holiday though...isn't there some kind of etiquette rule about that being okay? If not, I'm implementing it.
Holiday Decoration Etiquette: It is perfectly acceptable to still have Christmas decorations on display up to a month after the blessed day. If of course you spent the last three weeks far, far away from your home.
I'm running on a caffeine IV pumping through my vein. And wishing I could get me one of these to fight the evil ways of the jet lag.
Dirty caramel chai latte with extra foam made by my fave local coffee shop, Ike's. I pretty much lived there in college. That's some good stuff right there.
Not so good stuff? Having to leave my Dad the other morning.
We had red eyes and tear stained faces so we weren't lookin' our finest, but we captured the moment nevertheless because it was precious.
Why must the time always go by so fast??? It was a thousand times harder leaving this time than it was when I left for college. Or when I moved to another state for work. Or even when I moved away to Germany.
Usually I am ready to get back to the normalcy of the life that Luis and I have been blessed to establish here. I absolutely love, love love going home. I love the time with my family. Catching up with old friends. Shopping at Target. Eating at all my favorite places. Loading up my suitcase with as much stuff that I miss as possible to get me through to our next visit.
But usually by the end, I'm exhausted from all the excitement and am ready for the mundane.
There's something to be said for routine, for the regular ol' every day life. The familiar is a welcomed friend after whirlwind trips home.
But this time, that desire for calm was replaced with the regret that I don't allow for more calm when I'm home.
If there's anything that my eyes have been open to this past year it's that I need to do a better job of savoring every minute of life.
To breathe in the beauty that surrounds me.
The beauty of family, who drops everything they are doing and drives a whole bunch of miles to be there, together, when the unexpected moments of life alter the paths we so carefully mapped out for our lives.
And of a husband who, even though he seems to always make weird faces in our family pics, he fills my life with so much joy I fear sometimes I might burst.
Of parents who are still so, so in love and committed to serving one another, for better for worse, in sickness and in health.
Of a sister who extends me grace each and every day for all the times that I was not the kindest or the most loving to her growing up.
Of friends who I have had the gift of knowing since we were much, much younger than we are now, and the joy of getting to see their own lives unfold into the adventures of Italian pastry schools and the beauty of motherhood.
Of amazing Arizona skies painted with vibrant colors that I took for granted for so long until I realized, not everyone in the world got to grow up underneath a canopy of endless deep blue, 350 days of sunshine and purple and orange sunsets. Now I soak every ray of sun I can and stand amazed every time I walk outside at the beauty of the desert.
Cancer, (read here and here if you're wondering why I'm suddenly talkin' 'bout cancer) as ugly as it is, has a way of gently reminding one to savor every minute of life, because each minute we have is a gift, not a guarantee.
And while I, yet again, left home with the feeling that I spent more time running from place to place, thinking of all that I had yet to do, people I had yet to see, things I had to yet to buy that I can't get in Germany and just can't seem to do without (no, I cannot live without chocolate chips, it just can't be done), rather than living in the moment, savoring the here and now, I'm committed to change it with each opportunity I'm given.
And I can start by implementing it now, amidst the piles of laundry invading our home and all the other "to dos" that I have allowed to sit comfortably atop my priority list, surpassing the things that really do deserve to consume my time and my thoughts: God, Luis, family, friends, people.
And so, I'm on the hunt for ways I can better manage the "have tos", so that I can better enjoy and savor the "want tos".
More freezer meals! Devote one day a month to massive amounts of cooking so that on busier days I can just pop something out to thaw rather than worry about getting to the grocery store, getting a meal on the table and then facing the sink of dishes afterwards.
When things don't get done, don't stress. Plain and simple. I'm not superwoman, nor will I ever be. I can only do the best I can, with the time I have and I need to learn to be content with that.
Anyone have any suggestions that I can add to my list of how to balance the "have tos" and the "want tos"? If so, do share!
And add this "have to" to your list today: have a great rest of the weekend!
I am committing to working on a lot of the same things you are. Maybe we can check in on each other and be supports. I've been surprised by my sticking to the laundry but definitely don't miss the mountains I was letting pile up. Big hug, friend!
You write so beautifully!! Thank you for sharing.
Love your post sweet Cara. We started the same laundry one when we had Melanie and the meal one too. The last one you have I still struggle with but I've gotten better at that since having Melanie too. I also bought an entire stack of "thinking of you cards" and at least three times a week I just pray that God will show me someone who needs to hear from me and I send them a card reminding them how much I love them. It's been amazing the people He brings to my mind. You are one of them so watch your mail. ;-) Love you!

One of the primary tragedies of multi-culturalism has been social integration, for in the wake of multi-culturalism came the rise of racial cultural ghettoisation.
Take for instance the black community in the United States.
During the Jim Crow era and before the civil rights movement, black communities were desperate for social inclusion - yet in the wake of the victory of the civil rights era came the model of multi-culturalism imposed on American society.
Just when the black community won the legal right for social, legal and political equality, the marxist model of multi-culturalism was imposed on all of society by white leftists and liberals.
America was transformed from a single united state into a series of racially and culturally divided 'communities'.
The nation was divided into racial, religious, ethnic, sexual and religious groups each demanding cultural 'equality', legal rights and economic empowerment.
In effect the rise of Gang Culture, black on black gun crime, family breakdown, criminality, the ethos of the 'Get rich or die trying' mentality of Gangsta Culture and the money obsessed Bling Culture which have come to dominate large sections of the black community, are manifestations of the innate pernicious dynamic of multi-culturalism.
It legitimised de-integrationism and social exclusion.
Now we have a society in America more divided on the grounds of race than even before the era of slavery.
Voluntary secession from the multi-cultural society has become the model for ever more communities, who seek more and more retreat from multi-cultural areas.
Hence the rise of fashions, clothing, language, ebonics, hair styles, holidays, prison culture baggy pants, rap music, religions like the Nation of Islam, cultures etc within the black community that reject all forms of integration into mainstream White American society and culture.
Hence as multi-culturalism grew, then Boo Got Shot ;

Q: Obtener los elementos de un Grid.View con filtros activos
*

*Soy novato y se únicamente un poco más de lo básico.

*Tengo un Grid.View que me muestra los registros de una BBDD.

*Tengo un "navegador de documentos", que me muestra de uno en uno todos los documentos de la BBDD y me permite navegar entre ellos.

*Lo que necesito es limitar los elementos entre los que quiero navegar, es decir, en lugar de navegar de uno en uno por todos los registros, que solamente se pueda hacer entre los que aparecen como resultado de aplicar filtros en el Grid.View.

Lo que quiero es que una vez aplicado un filtro, sea capaz de almacenar de alguna forma cuales son los elementos resultantes, para poder navegar solamente entre esos. Por ejemplo, seleccionar únicamente los registro con el diario "002", y que se almacenen en una lista, para luego poderla pasar al controlador de la vista individual.

Este es el código del grid
    @Html.Grid(Model).Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Add(c => c.num_diarC)
        .Titled("Diario")
        .SetWidth(60);

columns.Add(c => c.num_movC)
        .Titled("Movimiento")
        .SetWidth(60);

columns.Add(c => c.mes_diarC)
        .Titled("Mes")
        .SetWidth(60);

columns.Add(c => c.anno_diarC)
        .Titled("Año")
        .SetWidth(60);

columns.Add(c => c.codigoC)
        .Titled("Código")
        .SetWidth(70);

columns.Add(c => c.empresaC)
        .Titled("Centro")
        .SetWidth(60);

columns.Add(c => c.num_factC)
        .Titled("Nº Factura")
        .SetWidth(60);

columns.Add(c => c.fec_factC).Format("{0:d}")
        .Titled("Fecha factura")
        .SetWidth(100);

columns.Add(c => c.imp_factC).Format("{0:n} €")
        .Titled("Importe")
        .SetWidth(60);

columns.Add(c => c.nombreC)
        .Titled("Empresa")
        .SetWidth(70);

columns.Add()
        .Encoded(false)
        .Sanitized(false)
        .SetWidth(200)
        .RenderValueAs(c => Acciones(c));

}).WithPaging(BibliotecaDocu.src.Constantes.DISPLAY_DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE).Sortable().Filterable(true).WithMultipleFilters().SetLanguage("es").EmptyText("No hay datos que mostrar").Named("filtrado")

Y este el del controlador:
        public ActionResult Buscar()
    {
        List<Compra> dbCompras = db.Compras.OrderByDescending(c => c.num_diar).ToList();
        List<ModelCompra> compras = new List<ModelCompra>();

        compras = new ModelCompra().getCompras(dbCompras);
        return View(compras);
    }

He probado con esto:
    @{
    List<string> lista = new List<string>();
    foreach (BibliotecaDocu.Models.ModelCompra compras in Model)
    {
    lista.Add(compras.num_factC);
    }
}

Pero crea una lista con todos los valores porque estoy haciendo referencia al modelo, y lo que quiero es hacerla al Grid.

A: En la prueba te ha faltado implementar el filtro. Cámbiala añadiéndolo así:
foreach (BibliotecaDocu.Models.ModelCompra compras in Model)
{
    if(compras.num_diarC == "002")//Si cumple tu condición lo añades
        lista.Add(compras.num_factC);
}

Por otra parte si Model tiene algún método de filtrado implementado podrías usarlo.

A: Tendrias que hacerlo del lado de tu server, donde haces tu consulta cuando mandes un filtro mandarselo a tu consulta y desde tu consulta filtrar y recargar ahora la grid con los datos que se filtraron.

User Story: Neil O'Sullivan Modernizes a 66-Year-Old Company Using Piktochart [video]
By Gonzalo Sanchez | May 21, 2015 - 4 Minutes Read
"Thanks to Piktochart we have been able to tackle the stigma of an old company, give a new approach to content marketing and be more relevant to our members"
The business environment is constantly changing. New technologies popup everyday, modifying the landscape of business, marketing and communication. But keeping your organization up to speed is an uphill challenge. At it's peak, Blockbuster had 60,000 employees, 9,000 stores and was valued at $5 billion. Netflix, who they had a chance to buy for pocket change, now rules on-demand video and it's worth north of $20 billion. Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy in 2010.
There is a lesson to learn from Blockbuster's failure to adapt, and that's exactly what Neil O'Sullivan is doing. An irish, who relocated to Australia, and loves playing football three times a week, Neil is the guy behind the Public Relations Institute of Australia (PRIA from now on) recent resurgence.
PRIA is the industry body for public relations and communication in Australia. They describe themselves as the 'industry umbrella' as they cover it all for their 4,000 members – expertise and service webinars, education, training, and even an yearly award system for the best PR campaigns. "We unlock a pathway to communication in Australia, we are a shoulder for communicators to rely on", says Neil.
The problem is that after 66 years and no focus on innovation, the organization has lost members and needed to stay ahead in the industry that in itself, was changing rapidly..
Neil knew that had to change.
The importance of doing more with less
"I'm a daily juggler", says Neil. His role as National Marketing & Communication Manager involves marketing, events, clients campaigns, internal campaigns, media relationships, brand awareness, member engagement and customer service.
There is a lot to do, but PRIA only has five full-time employees. His team only has three people: himself, and two interns.
"Content, social and digital marketing is huge in PR. My job is to tell the story of the PRIA", retells Neil. The organization, which is in their 66th year, has a rich history, but Neil is focused on bringing it to modern times and moderns brands: "It's totally different than 65 years ago".
Before, all you had to do was focus on media relationships and getting you press release out the door to the right people. Now, that won't cut it. "It's more diversified, we need to cover a broader spectrum. You can't get away with that. All campaigns need to cover every single channel".
An issue for PRIA is their limited resources, so they've become experts at prioritization. "Time is money" is something that Neil keeps repeating during the interview. He illustrates this with an example: "Do we need Instagram? On the long-term, probably yes. But right now? Not really". Instagram's main demographic – people below 25 years old – has the lowest retention rate for PRIA memberships, and retaining that demographic is a major task for the organization.
PRIA is a non-profit organization and budgets are always tight. It all comes down to what their team can generate. They only get a budget for big events or national conferences – 75% of the work they do for their members has no money invested. However, they still need to get the job done, and provide exceptional membership services.
Using Piktochart to refresh PRIA
One year ago, when Neil came in, there was "white noise everywhere", so they started prioritizing. They looked for high-impact opportunities, and found one in their newsletter. Their open rates were below 20%, and the campaigns were being sent only to members. They had a huge database with thousands of interested, non-members, sitting in their computers, so Neil and his team got to work.
"We re-designed it from a busy, full-of-content edition that catered to every single state in Australia to a more simple and visually compelling piece. We changed the whole layer, gave it a fresh look, and created the 'PR Hero section'. Essentially, we tried to replicate a 'Cosmopolitan' magazine cover approach to the PRIA".
To do that job we needed a great, free tool, so we tried Piktochart. Neil has no graphic design background, and no official training: "We try to deliver the exact same product, but with no resources".
Did it work? The results and their transition to Piktochart
"When I came in, it was difficult. We didn't have a huge amount of analytics at our fingertips, and we weren't measuring enough", informs Neil. Now, their newsletter is hitting around 22,000 individuals and organizations and has a 32% open rate – that's a 60% improvement in less than 12 months. This, combined with other efforts, helps PRIA attract 35 members every single month.
After the newsletter success, it was a natural transition to Piktochart. "We use it on a daily basis. We haven't had Photoshop due to the cost, so we use Piktochart to create in-house content we wouldn't be able to create elsewhere". Some examples are:
infographics for member campaigns
buttons (register now, download, etc) for their newsletter or website
social media tiles and images for Facebook
quotes, to give them a fresh look and make them more engaging
invitations to events they print out or send in their newsletter
banner ads they later print and use for conferences
According to Neil, Piktochart helps PRIA save time, money, resources and become more effective. It's a replacement for other design tools. Besides, he doesn't have to spend time briefing graphic designers. Neil knows what PRIA is about, so he has the best vision of what he wants."We serve members on tight deadlines. We don't have a quiet period. It's frantic. Piktochart helps me surf all the noise and create all the content I need. Things gotta happen, and Piktochart helps me get them done in 30 minutes, 1 hour. We don't have the luxury to wait for a couple days."
Every year, PRIA organizes over 40 events. The logo and branding for the major conferences is done by a designer, but for everything else, they use Piktochart: the program, banners, invitations, and even the website. "In an ideal world, we would spend money on this, but we have to think on our feet. 250 people attended the Brisbane event, and the majority was done with Piktochart. We'd really be lost without tools like these."
Some advice for beginners and business people
First, Neil has no skills in graphic design, so he advises Piktochart is perfect for beginners: "You can get the grasp of it very early on. Piktochart keeps improving every day and the tools are getting better and better. If you don't have the resources, the budget, or the skillset, it's the perfect tool."
However, there is something more important Neil is warning us about: "In the future, everyone needs to keep up to date with the changing media landscapes. If we don't, we will be left behind. We are doing everything we can to get maintain PRIA's status as the industry leader."
Here at Piktochart, we agree with Neil. What are your thoughts? Do you think constant innovation is necessary in a business environment?

Logan Lerman in Tights! Watch New Three Musketeers 3D Trailer
TheImproper March 26, 2011 ACTION/ADVENTURE
French writer Alexandre Dumas would be shocked by the 21st Century remake of his classic "The Three Musketeers," but Director Paul W. S. Anderson pulls no punches to punch up this tale, according to a new 3D trailer.
The all-out action adventure thriller stars Logan Lerman as D'Artagnan, Matthew Macfadyen as Athos, Ray Stevenson as Porthos and way down in the credits Orlando Bloom (memba' him?) as the Duke of Buckingham.
Honestly, though, the trailer makes the film look like an early 19th century version of the "Wild, Wild West."
The television series, and later movie with Will Smith, featured all kinds of wild inventions that never crossed the minds of people who actually lived during that time. But that's supposed to be all part of the fun.
[ad#BlogAd/Pub300x250]
Would you believe a flying ship?
Apparently Anderson left no trick untouched, from non-stop action to crazed demons to 3D, to give the movie the punch it needs to attract modern audiences, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
So no need to go beyond the Cliff Notes to understand Dumas' classic novel. The story here is in the telling, which probably has Dumas spinning in his grave.
In any event, the trailer opens with a dark scene of some evil looking knight with an ominous multi-bladed sword blowing away to hapless gendarmes.
The musketeers talk about being surrounded by enemies and the coming "Apocalypse."
The down-on-their-luck Musketeers must unite and prevent a beautiful double agent and her villainous employer from seizing the French throne and engulfing Europe in war.
Despite all the gadgetry, the movie has a nice period look, as well.
The film is set to open in October; check out the trailer below.

Valve Apparently Prototyped Half-Life 3 As An RTS
Half-Life is an FPS game that has a huge following. In fact thanks to its SDK, games such as Counter-Strike was created and Team Fortress Classic also got a remake using the Half-Life SDK, which in turn saw both titles spawn a variety of sequels and variations. However Half-Life 3 has been a no-show for the longest time ever, but it seems that Valve has been quietly working on it.
During a recent Game Informer podcast (via Game Rant), executive editor Andrew Reiner revealed that when he was trying to get the scoop on the development status of Half-Life 3, one of his sources who was allegedly involved in the project told him that Valve had been prototyping various iterations of the game, and that at one point in time, Valve even toyed with the idea of making the game an RTS.
Like we said, the Half-Life franchise and the mods that it spawned have pretty much been all FPS titles, so for Valve to make the switch to RTS is very wild as it would present a completely different style of gameplay, one that we're not sure would have been well-received by the community, we think.
It is unclear as to what the status of the game is right now, but apparently Half-Life 3 has been in the works since 2004, making it one of the most hyped titles that may or may not even exist. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think of an RTS Half-Life 3?

Q: R: Passing information into renderPlot from reactive function all. I am very new to shiny and R but am trying to learn my way through it.
I could use your help learning how to pass information from the reactive function into renderPlot. I have successfully used my reactive function to build a data frame but, when I try and plot it in renderPlot using ggplot, the data is not available.
In renderPlot, I am getting the error that 'the object "product" does not exist'. Any thoughts?
server <- function(input, output)
{
reactive_data <- reactive({

                finalData <- data.frame(ITEM_DESC=as.character(), revenue=double(), product=character())

                for (p in input$product_selection){

                    tempData <- orderData %>%
                        filter(grepl(p, ITM_DESC)) %>%
                        select(ITM_DESC, revenue) %>%
                        group_by(ITM_DESC) %>%
                        summarize(rev=sum(revenue))

                    tempData <- tempData %>% mutate(product = p)

                    if (dim(finalData)[1] == 0) {
                        finalData <- tempData
                    }
                    else{
                        finalData <- bind_rows(finalData, tempData)
                    }
                }

            })

# Render Plot
output$shinyOrders <- renderPlot(
                        ggplot(reactive_data()) +
                        geom_col(aes_string(x="product", y="rev")) +
                        theme_bw(18) +
                        theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))
                        )
}

# ---- Run App ----

shinyApp(ui, server)

A: for loops do not return anything. Observe:
(for (i in 1:3) i <- i+1)
# NULL
i
# [1] 4

I think that makes your solution (untested):
server <- function(input, output) {
  reactive_data <- reactive({

    finalData <- data.frame(ITEM_DESC=as.character(), revenue=double(), product=character())

    for (p in input$product_selection){

      tempData <- orderData %>%
        filter(grepl(p, ITM_DESC)) %>%
        select(ITM_DESC, revenue) %>%
        group_by(ITM_DESC) %>%
        summarize(rev=sum(revenue))

      tempData <- tempData %>% mutate(product = p)

      if (dim(finalData)[1] == 0) {
        finalData <- tempData
      }
      else{
        finalData <- bind_rows(finalData, tempData)
      }
    }

    return(finalData) # <--------- you need this

  })

  # Render Plot
  output$shinyOrders <- renderPlot(
    ggplot(reactive_data()) +
      geom_col(aes_string(x="product", y="rev")) +
      theme_bw(18) +
      theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))

News Briefing: from Britain and Ireland

Citizens Assembly promotes living wage and housing provision
by Ruth Gledhill
More than 1,000 people met last week in St George's Cathedral, Southwark, at an Accountability Assembly organised by London Citizens to discuss the living wage, housing and other community issues, writes Ruth Gledhill.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan made commitments to work with Citizens UK on knife crime, and a vigil was held by mothers and young people affected by violence.
The Archbishop of Southwark, Peter Smith, said: "The term common good is not simply an abstract concept, rather it highlights some very important aspects of the human person.
Firstly, dignity, which reflects the person is worthy of respect, simply by virtue of being human. Secondly, it reflects the truth that all human beings are equal in the eyes of God. Thirdly, the dignity of work which is more than a way of making a living but also helps to provide services for others. And lastly, respect for life, because each human life has value."
Matthew Bolton, executive director of Citizens UK, told The Tablet: "The vast majority of children growing up in poverty have a parent in work. Work is not a guaranteed route out of poverty. We see Catholic Social Teaching as more relevant today than ever."

WEAVE INC VALUES AND PRINCIPLES
Women Everywhere Advocating Violence Elimination Inc (WEAVE Inc), formed in 2009, is a National Women's Alliance that aims to eliminate gendered violence (including sexual assault, domestic violence, stalking, sexual exploitation and trafficking). As a non-partisan coalition WEAVE Inc brings together groupings that have sometimes worked separately from one another, such as sexual assault services, women's health services, women's legal services, domestic and family violence services, and organisations working against trafficking. In drawing together key stakeholders that make up the 'violence against women sector' as well as survivors, and activist and interest groups, WEAVE embeds a wealth and diversity of experience and expertise within a single body.
W.E.A.V.E. OBJECTIVES
(a) To provide leadership and advocacy at state and national levels in relation to all aspects of gendered violence.
(b) To bring together in a single body the key stakeholders concerned with all aspects of gendered violence in order to access and disseminate the wealth and diversity of knowledge within the sector as a whole.
(c) To contribute to and monitor policies, legislation and programs which impact on women and children experiencing gendered violence.
(d) To promote and prioritise equity of access to services for all women including Aboriginal women, Torres Strait Islander women, women from immigrant, refugee and/or non-English speaking background, women in rural and isolated areas, older women, young women and women with disabilities.
(e) To promote greater community awareness of gendered violence and its personal and social consequences using community development and educational strategies.
(f) To build and promote alliances and collaborative relationships with other key stakeholders and networks.
(g) To promote, further develop and disseminate 'cutting edge' knowledge of gendered violence arising from practice, research, community and activism.
(h) To connect with international developments in advocacy, research and practice concerning gendered violence.
WEAVE INC. VISION
To ensure that all women and children are able to live free from all forms of violence and abuse.
WEAVE Inc employs a human rights framework that recognises that gendered violence is one of the most serious and widespread violations of fundamental human rights, in particular, the right not to be treated in an inhuman and degrading way, the rights to respect, physical, sexual and psychological integrity.
Feminist Framework
WEAVE Inc works within a feminist framework that recognises that gendered violence is both a consequence and cause of gender inequity, embedded deeply within all levels of our society, and that efforts to end such violence must be accountable to women and promote women's empowerment and gender equality.
Equity, Diversity & Inclusivity
WEAVE Inc is committed to representing and working respectfully with the diversity of women in Australia. WEAVE Inc recognises, and seeks to advocate and lobby for, the particular and urgent needs of Indigenous women, women from immigrant, refugee and/or non-English speaking backgrounds, women with disabilities, as well as the challenges faced by young women, older women and women in rural and remote areas.

I'd been anticipating this movie ever since I'd seen the previews before it hit theaters - maybe because it seemed like a more positive alternative to that dark Snow White movie starring the gross Twilight girl. The jokes were funny and really, who doesn't love a movie with midgets? Oh sorry, I mean little people. I mean, does anyone remember how much better Austin Powers got when Mini Me joined the cast?
Now, I realize this is a family movie. As was another movie I recently watched... and skewered. But why should my standards for a family movie be any lower than a regular movie? Is it unfair to call a movie sucky just because it targets young kids? I mean, there's a reason Walt Disney (and Co.) has won so many Oscars - because Disney movies are mostly awesome (I don't care how well it did at the box office or that it managed a sequel, Cars was really stupid and annoying). This is the standard to which every other "family movie" is compared, in my world. And this one failed. Miserably. Especially when I think back to a comparable Disney movie - Enchanted.
A bright spot in the movie was actually Julia Roberts. I understand she's actually the star, and the main draw for people, but in general, I don't like her. I find her... abrasive. And in this movie, she plays an ok villain (she really should have watched Enchanted and taken some notes from Susan Sarandon). What's great about her in this movie is how she looks. It's incredible, really, how flawless they make her face look. It's no wonder actors in Hollywood are obsessed with plastic surgery - who can look like that in everyday life? So it's sort of humorous that we are supposed to believe that Lily Collins with her furry eyebrows is supposed to be more beautiful. But who knows - they are legions of people out there who adore Frida Kahlo.
Final word: I only like my pizzas cheesy, not my movies (yes, this was intentionally corny to reflect the nature of the movie).

Word Problems for Millennial Post-Grad Trips
Real-world math is needed to optimize likes across time zones.
by Meredith Dietz and Spencer Hurley
Steven, traveling solo through Berlin, wants to post an Instagram of his ravioli. However, Germany is 6 hours ahead of his normal time zone, so he risks his picture bombing if he posts it now. If he sets his alarm for 4 AM, his post will succeed, but he might have trouble getting back to sleep. This will be especially difficult because his 4 hostel roommates took MDMA and are having trouble comprehending language, let alone the phrases "shared living area" and "appropriate time for sex." If he can't sleep, he will have baggy eyes for his Berlin Wall picture in the morning. How much more praise would his parents have had to give him to avoid this being an agonizing dilemma?
The Hitchhiker's Dilemma
Charles is hitchhiking across Germany. He is currently on the outskirts of Heidelberg, approximately 160km north of his destination in Tubingen. The journey normally takes two hours by car, but Charles is uncertain he'll be able to flag down a ride that can take him the full route. He stands at an unthreatening five feet and eight inches. Charles finds himself to be a safe bet for drivers to pick up, but he is a tad cocky about his ability to defend himself against physical danger. He is at the ready with his hitchhiker's thumb. How irrelevant is this entire scenario if you're a woman?
The Chad Grads
Brad, Thad, Vlad, and Chad embark on their bucket list European backpacking tour. Each group member brings different strengths and conditions to the journey:
Brad's parents have generously funded all air travel. Brad graduated with a double major in Econ and 'having a good time'. He has a penchant for saying, "It's Europe, there are no rules!" Ever since he was a child, Brad gets on people's nerves.
Thad, a business major, took some German in high school and is confident he could order food and ask to go to the bathroom in case of an emergency. His Snapchat stories are notoriously two to three minutes longer than socially acceptable. He's dating Brad's ex-girlfriend. Brad reports that he's "totally chill" with this, but…yikes.
Chad graduated with a philosophy degree. He acts as the group's researcher, having booked all the hostels in advance and found the chillest areas to experience different European cities like a local. He's looking forward to this trip as the last quality time he spends with "the boyz" before cutting them out of his life for the foreseeable future.
Vlad is the group's "bad boy." Campus rumors suggest that he might be part-vampire. Otherwise, there's little explanation for why he's never been seen in the daylight. He rarely speaks. It's significant that Brad really gets on Vlad's nerves, since this often leads to overall group tension.
Please find the only logical arrangement for bunk and seatmates to maintain peace throughout their trip. Note: Vlad might genuinely harm Brad, so choose wisely.
The Knapsack Problem
Jenny's backpack is too heavy to make it through the airport as a carry-on. She must determine the most valuable souvenirs to bring back home. Out of the following, select the top three (3) valuable items to memorialize her trip, and which two (2) items to leave behind:
All the coasters she stole from bars. These thin, beer-stained scraps represent the forging of new friendships in new places. They further represent petty theft.
Fancy wine labels. Originally, Jenny purchased the wine for her parents. The wine itself is long gone, but she figures it's the thought that counts. Plus, the labels symbolize her need for more money in preparation for her move to NYC.
Her foreign "boyfriend," Rodrigo. He represents the idea of "carpe diem"—hence his ass tattoo. Perhaps Rodrigo was just a fling. Jenny never managed to properly roll her Rs, anyways. Also, how did he get into the airport without a shirt on?!
The life lessons she learned along the way. This choice represents Jenny's refusal to let this trip change her for the better.
A cool rock. This one represents a really fucking neat rock. From Europe!
Influencer Reasoning
Michael, a micro-influencer (93 followers, high engagement) wants to visit North Korea for the clout. He DMs the official Pyongyang account, asking for a visa and 2 free meals in exchange for tagging them in a shoutout on his close friends story (Mom, Dad, 2 former girlfriends).

Henry Beaufoy Merlin (1830–1873) was an Australian photographer, showman, illusionist and illustrator.[2] In the 1850s he worked as a theatrical showman and performer in Sydney, Newcastle and Maitland. In 1863 he was the first person to introduce Pepper's ghost to Australia. After this, he took up photography and between 1869 and 1872 turned the American Australasian Photographic Company into one of the most respected studios in Australia. Between 1872 and 1873 he worked extensively documenting the goldfields and mining towns of New South Wales. In 1873, as an employee of Bernhardt Holtermann, he photographed Sydney and many rural New South Wales towns. He died on 27 September 1873.[3]
Early life[edit]
Merlin was born in Norfolk, England, the son of a chemist, Frederick Merlin, and his wife, Ann Harriet (nee Beaufoy). He was baptised in Wells-next-the-Sea in March 1830.[4] Merlin and his mother arrived in Sydney from London on 8 December 1848.[2]
In 1851 Ann Harriet married Henry John Forster.[5] The Sydney Morning Herald records that the bride's name was Anne Harriett Murlin, daughter of Benjamin Beaufoy.[6] After his mother's marriage to Foster, Merlin took to using a number of different names before finally settling on Beaufoy Merlin, leading to some confusion around his early history.[7]
Theatrical showman[edit]
The Royal Marionette Theatre, Illustrated London News, 17 January 1852
In May 1853, Henry Murlin took out a licence to establish a Marionette theatre, 'executed with mechanical figures.'[8] Merlin opened in the old Olympic Circus building in Castlereagh Street and a month later went on the road with the 'burlesque theatre' holding a number of shows, including a performance of Bombastes Furioso by William Rhodes.[9]
By 1855 Merlin had set up an amateur theatre in Maitland where he started referring to himself as Henry B. Muriel. Around the middle of 1856 Merlin opened a 'beautiful little' theatre in High Street named the 'Queen's Theatre' which accommodated 300 people.[3] The Following year, after the Maitland theatre burned to the ground, he moved to Newcastle where he worked as a manager, actor and painter of scenery for 'The Newcastle Theatre.'[10]
After a few shows, Merlin left Newcastle and, in May 1857, he applied for a license to exhibit panoramas in Sydney. A year later he was still in Sydney and in June 1858, he opened a new exhibition at the Lyceum Theatre, Sydney.[11]
Merlin's Indian panorama, painted by himself and a Mr. Guy, seems to have involved a series of scrolling panoramic scenes and projections over which a narrator would recount tales, offer scientific snippets, sing songs and offer humorous vignettes.[12] Within a few weeks of its, opening Merlin added a new scene to the production titled The Storming of Delhi, from the Cashmere [sic.] Gate, presumably highlighting events from the Indian rebellion the year before.[13] At the end of November 1858 Merlin sold the 'Indian Panorama'.</ref>[14]
While details of Merlin's general movements are sketchy, over the next few years but in 1863 he was back in England. In January Henry Beaufoy Merlin married Louisa Eleanor Foster at the church of St Mary in Bow, Middlesex, and it was under this name he and Louisa moved back to Australia.[15][16] By July Merlin was settled in Melbourne where he embarked on a new theatrical enterprise which projected a spectral illusion onto a stage.[17]
Pepper's Ghost stage set up, 1862, Le Monde Illustré
This spectral illusion, popularly known as Pepper's ghost, used a series of angled sheets of glass to project a ghost onto the stage alongside the actors. A provisional patent had been lodged in England by John Henry Pepper and Henry Dircks in February 1863, and this may have been why it was possible for Merlin to lodge one here in Australia.[18][19]
Merlin's consortium was the first to successfully perform the trick for the theatre here in Australia and the first play they chose was a popular drama entitled The Castle Spectre. It was well received according to contemporary accounts.[20]
In late September he was presenting 'The Ghost' in Castlemaine, Victoria, but with no theatrical accompaniment. Instead, the illusion was presented by Merlin himself a part of a lecture on spiritualism.[21] When a presentation of 'The Ghost' arrived at the Victoria Theatre in Adelaide in October 1863, it was Woollaston and a Mr. Solomon who were being credited as the main instigators.[22]
Photographer 1865–1872[edit]
On 21 January 1865, H. Merlin, opened the 'Kyneton Photographic Studio' in Piper Street, Kyneton, a small town in northern Victoria. The studio was completed at considerable expense and advertised instantaneous portraits, landscape and stereoscopic views, enlargements from carte de visites in crayon and in oil as well as an operating room, 'constructed on the principle recently designed by Mr Matheson of the Crystal Palace, and until the present occasion, never introduced to this colony.[23]
Importantly, Merlin was already advertising his services to take photographs of public buildings and private residences, 'at moderate terms and on the shortest notice', as this would become one of the features of American and Australasian Photographic Company.[23] However it seems Merlin had dangerously extended his credit to set up the studio and without enough customers was, by May 1865, filing for insolvency. In particular, he pointed out how 'he had been deprived by the owner of the use of certain necessary implements he had on hire for the purpose of carrying on his business.'[24][25]
By December 1865 the insolvency proceedings had been resolved and, with no more creditors, Merlin appears to have moved to Ballarat where his mother, now a widow, was also living.[26] Included in a description of the Ballarat District Exhibition for 1866, photographs by Roberts and Merlin of Ballarat are mentioned alongside Mrs. Forster's wax flowers and fruits which were described as being, 'so beautiful that it is difficult to wish for anything better.'[27]
By February 1869 his contemporaries were touting him as a successful travelling landscape photographer and he was working on an album of landscapes for His Excellency the Governor of Victoria as well as taking photographs for the Prince of Wales who was to visit Sydney in the same year.[28]
In June 1869, he was at Emerald Hill giving a 'highly-interesting and instructive lecture The Pilgrim's Progress, illustrated with beautiful dissolving views.' His experiences over this period must have convinced him that there was money to be made taking landscape and architectural views but the failure of his studio in Kyneton and his prior experience as a travelling showman seems to have encouraged him to set up a different kind of photographic business.[12] On 21 June 1869, he formed the American and Australasian [sometimes recorded as Australian] Photographic Company (AAPC).
A company called the American and Australian Photographic Company has been formed, for the purpose of carrying out photographic operations on an extensive scale. The company have an office in the city, but the headquarters of the landscape department is at Emerald Hill. The company commenced business on Monday.[29]
Initially, the office in Melbourne was located at 73 Little Collins Street but it seems Merlin opened a second office, at 4 Barrack Street, Sydney, in September 1869.[30] Although the AAPC offices were located in the city, much of the business was being done in country areas. The AAPC business model adopted a new methodology to increase efficiency and mitigate the costs of travelling to country towns. And this seems in part shaped by the many years Merlin had spent promoting his theatrical events.[31]
Firstly, advertisements in local papers would alert the residents that a representative of the company would be arriving. Once there, the photographer would take a photograph of every house and building. The negatives would then be sent back to head office where they could be stored. As orders came in, either through the AAPC photographer or AACP representatives in the town, prints were made and sent to the purchaser.[32]
This approach appears to have been set in place almost from the inception of the company. In September 1869, the company arrived in Beechworth where advertisements in the Oven and Murray Advertiser stated the town's residences would be photographed.[33]
As the year drew to a close, Merlin still appears to have been handling the bulk of the photography work.[34] The AAPC advertisements from this period also make it clear he was making his way towards Sydney through Emerald Hill (June), Beechworth (September), Shepparton (October) and Wangaratta (November). In December, he was at the El Dorado Goldfields where he photographed the turning of the sod for the Devon Company's first mine shaft.[35]
By February 1870 he was in New South Wales visiting Yass where he made good on his advertised promises to photograph every house. Not only were the pictures done rapidly but they were also done with, with more than usual excellence.[36] Although the photographs were for sale at the time they were taken the company representatives did not press their sale while on location. Instead, the negatives were stored at the head offices in Melbourne and Sydney and prints put on display there. From here they could be ordered as required.[36] Agents were also employed by the company to sell photographs on commission.[3]
The Australian Eclipse Expedition 1871[edit]
Astronomers, Australian Eclipse Expedition, 1871, attributed to Beaufoy Merlin
In October, Merlin left Sydney to take photographs of Wollongong and Kiama leaving Charles Bayliss in charge of the 'supervision of the Landscape Department' and attending to all orders, weather permitting.[37] This arrangement may have been a way to shore up the company before Merlin's final adventure for 1871. On 27 November, Merlin left Sydney on the steamship Governor Blackall as a part of the Australian Solar Eclipse Expedition bound for North Queensland. Accompanying him on board were a 'who's who' of Australia's natural historians and scientists all of whom were travelling to Cape Sidmouth to view the solar eclipse on 12 December. Unfortunately, after they had set up their instruments on Eclipse Island the day proved too overcast and, even though he continued to expose the plates Merlin described their trip had been in vain.[38]
On the return journey, Merlin experimented with taking a series of coastline views of the Whitsunday Passage and succeeded in recording a considerable portion of it. These he thought would prove useful to the mariner as they reproduced the 'elevations, depressions, projections, &c, with an accuracy impossible in hand-drawings.'[39] Merlin arrived back in Sydney on Christmas Eve, 'in time to hear the joyous Christmas bells ring out.'[40]
Gold rush photographs[edit]
Mayne Street, Gulgong, 1872–1973, [attributed to] Henry Beaufoy Merlin
The new year initially seemed to be business as usual for the AAPC, with operators at work in Wagga Wagga and Gympie.[41][42] But on 5 February he announced he was retiring from management of the New South Wales branch of the Company. He was replaced by Mr. Carlisle who continued to use photographic staff from the company.[43]
He then packed up his camera and equipment and headed off to the newly discovered goldfields at Hill End, Tambaroora and Gulgong near Bathurst, New South Wales. This arrangement does not mean Merlin left the company, in fact he continued to supply Carlisle with negatives of Hill End to print.[44]
Merlin's photographs of shops, hotels, theatres, mines and batteries were supplemented by more traditional portraits of the townsfolk taken in the AAPC studio set up in Tambaroora and the temporary one set up at Hill End.[45] The earlier work of the AACP photographers, including Merlin, had focused on landscape views. While these sometimes-included people in the streets and outside their houses this feature became even more obvious in Merlin's goldfield photos. Here people seem to have been actively encouraged to pose in front of their cottage, mine or shop and, thus, most of these 1872 views include owners, families and managers posed in front of their buildings.[46]
Contemporary newspapers cite Merlin as the photographer responsible for the 1872 landscape views taken on the New South Wales goldfields[47] and these photographs remain his most lasting legacy.[3] By 4 May he had spent time at both Hill End and Tambaroora and had taken over 100 views some of which made their way to the Metropolitan Intercolonial Exhibition in Sydney.[48] Less than a week later the Evening News was effusive in its praise of Merlin's images of Hawkins Hill and twenty large views, one dozen lesser views, and sixty smaller photographs of every scene of interest as well as the principle machinery at work. The whole series made up a valuable portrayal of the extensive mining operations at the locations.[49] The Evening News also made it clear how unique Merlin's enterprise was,
these splendid photographs, will, we hope, reimburse the spirited artist for the great difficulties undergone and expense he incurred is carrying out his object in so mountainous and broken a country. So far as we are aware nothing of the like nature has ever before been successfully accomplished in similar circumstances.[49]
While many of the shots were taken of the buildings and streets others taken in the goldfields themselves required a great deal more effort. One of these, depicting the mines at Hawkins Hill, was reproduced in the Town and Country Journal on 18 May 1872, where the journalist, possibly Merlin himself, describes how the photograph was only possible after erecting a series of stages in the highest trees above the thousand foot deep gully. The camera and photographer then climbed up to the stage to photograph the mines nearly two miles away on the other side of the gully.[50]
Holtermann Exposition[edit]
Atalante in the Fitzroy Dock, Sydney Harbour, 1873, by Beaufoy Merlin
By 1872 The Star of Hope Gold Mining Company was mining one of the richest veins of gold in Hawkins Hill and this had made its manager, Bernard Holtermann, very wealthy.[51] Merlin and Holtermann's relationship came to the fore when the largest piece of reef-gold in the world was discovered in the Star of Hope mine on 19 October 1872.[52] Holtermann approached Merlin, who photographed it before it was sent to the crusher and took several photographs of Holtermann and his partner Beyer. Then on 30 October, Merlin wrote a long biographical article praising Holtermann's hard work and persistence, which had kept the mine running in the years before they struck gold.[53] In November, he photographed the cakes of pure gold made from crushing the huge piece of reef gold.[54]
By the end of December, Holtermann had left the Hill End to set himself up in his new home on the North Shore of Sydney. It was also around this time that Merlin seems to have inspired Holtermann to start a new project.[55] On 1 January 1873 a number of advertisements appeared in papers across the country describing Holtermann's new and ambitious scheme to promote Australia's industrial resources and to seek submissions from interested parties before the proposed opening in eight months time.[56]
Holtermann engaged Merlin to take panoramas and views of all the towns and gold-fields in the colonies which would then be used to create albums of each town and gold-field, containing statistical information and other valuable matter. These photographs were to be presented as large transparent pictures using a new process invented by Merlin.[57] As the year progressed Holtermann remained continued to support Merlin in his photographic endeavours. In March, the Governor of New South Wales, Hercules Robinson, visited Hill End and Merlin captured the banners strung across the street to welcome him.[58]
In April, Merlin was in Bathurst photographing the town for Holtermann.[59] And, on 5 July, the Town and Country Journal posted an article by the 'Photographic Artist of Holtermann's Exhibition,' presumably Merlin, which extolled the beauty of the countryside, and the described the 102 main buildings in the town as well as the character of its inhabitants.[60] By the end of July, he was back in Sydney, taking more photographs for the exhibition and working on a series of large three-foot transparent photographs, hundreds of which were intended for Holtermann's Exposition.[61] The positive transparencies were created by enlarging his original negatives and their size was noted by those that saw the early examples produced by Merlin.[62]
One reason for the coverage in the news may have been due to a deputation of the New South Wales Commissioners for the International Exhibition, who were meeting with the Colonial Secretary to discuss setting up a permanent exhibition building in London. This proposal fell through, even though it was potentially a good fit for Holtermann's Exposition collection.[63] Being of German origin, Holtermann may have been looking to display at the Vienna Exhibition but when this opened in September 1873 there were no displays from New South Wales.[64] Regardless of these setbacks, Merlin worked with his normal diligence preparing his collections for the Exposition without knowing when they would finally open.[65] His primary focus continued to be the work for Holtermann but he also found time to write journalistic articles for the papers. In August 1873 he produced a series of articles on the recent discoveries made by the expedition of HMS Basilisk to New Guinea.[66]
At the same time, he continued with his photographic work and his image of the French warship Atalante at Fitzroy Dock on Cockatoo Island, Sydney, is one Merlin himself acknowledged as among his best works.[67] Soon after this, Merlin left Sydney to photograph the townships of Orange and Dubbo. His account of this journey, which appeared in the Town and Country Journal, praised the people and the climate and reads almost like a caption for one of the proposed album of views for Holtermann's Exposition.[68]
Death[edit]
On 27 September 1873 Merlin died after a very short illness at his home in Little Abercrombie Street, Leichhardt, Sydney.[69] The cause was an 'inflammation of the lungs supervening upon the epidemic (a kind of influenza) which has lately been so general in Sydney.'[70]
The Evening News, which recorded his death, also gave an insight into the character of this highly motivated and successful man:
Mr. Merlin had won the esteem of a wide circle of friends by his kindness of heart, and singularly unpretentious, straight-forward, and genial character. Energetic, temperate, and active to a remarkable degree, his unexpected decease [sic.] will surprise as well as grieve all to whom he was known. As a photographic artist, he was almost without rival, while his talents as a writer were of a superior kind, although the want of leisure greatly interfered with his literary tastes.[71]
Legacy[edit]
Whilst Merlin was well known as a photographer at the time of his death,[72] it was not until 1951 that the extent of his photographic achievement, and that of his assistant, Charles Bayliss, was realised with the discovery of approximately 3,000 glass photographic negatives neatly packed in cedar and metal boxes.[73] The find was subsequently titled the Holtermann collection in honour of Bernhardt Holtermann, who had financed the enterprise of taking the photographs.
After Merlin's death his wife and children returned to England.[74] Merlin's mother found herself in financial distress following his death, and funds were collected to assist her.[75]
Merlin's lasting legacy is the Holtermann Collection. As Keast Burke put it "Australia must forever owe a deep debt of gratitude to Beaufoy Merlin, for his photography proved to be the true historian of that time and place—incomparable, authentic[,] unchallengeable."[74] In 2013 the Holtermann collection of photographs was listed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme.[76]

^ Keast Burke in his 1953 article stated that when Merlin travelled to Sydney around 1869 Bayliss had been left in charge of his studio in Victoria. This may have possibly been the case but by early 1871 Bayliss was working for Merlin in Sydney. Burke also mentions that it was Holtermann that brought Bayliss back to Sydney and there is some merit in thinking this may have been the case if Bayliss had returned to Victoria sometime after Merlin left the business in February 1872. Confusingly, Keast Burke also published a correction in the Australian Photo Review, 1 July 1853, in which he states, 'Contrary to first indication, it now appears that Charles Baylis did not remain behind in Melbourne for very long, or if at all. Fresh evidence has come to light showing that Bayliss accompanied Merlin to Gulgong and Hill End as his cameraman and photographed many of the sequences. In the face of this new evidence, it is only possible in a few instances to state with accuracy whether an exposure was made by one or the other photographer.' Unfortunately, Burke does not cite the source of this new evidence and given contemporary newspapers only mention Merlin as the photographer it seems appropriate to assume this was the case until the 'new evidence' cited by Burke is found.
