Head of Home Loans Digital, Lephoi Mokgatle, provides 4 essential tips for first-time home buyers looking to climb the property ladder.
Buying a home for the first time should be an exciting experience for customers, but I feel a lot of the time, because of the anxiety around not doing enough research, it can be a little bit frustrating. I like to use these four tips to help customers who are buying homes for the first time to navigate that process and help them make it easier to sign on the dotted line.
Tip 1:
The first tip would be to understand where you'd like to live. So which area you want to buy in, whether you're looking for a stand-alone home or an apartment in a sectional title, and then also do enough research about what are the property and area stats in that particular neighbourhood.
Tip 2:
Second tip I would suggest is to understand your financial status. So everyone gets a free credit assessment report annually, and so use this as a guide to understand who you owe and whether you have outstanding creditors that you might not be aware of.
Tip 3:
The third tip would be to also understand the initial and up-front costs that are associated with buying a home. A lot of customers just look at the mortgage or the bond repayment, but there are other costs that are associated. So consider things like attorney fees, transfer duties from SARS, bond registration costs. And even, often, moving into the home, there are costs associated with it, such as your rates and taxes that you'd never have to have catered for before, as well as levies if you're in a sectional title.
Tip 4:
The fourth and final tip would be to use the available online tools. So things like Nedbank's instant bond indicator really help customers give them an indication of how much they qualify for when it comes to a bond. If you need to save for a deposit, see if you have available savings in order to use for that because it also helps with your interest rate when the bank quotes you.

First off, thanks to Rick for the opportunity to contribute to his blog. I've followed Rick's work for years and have always respected his sage advice about all things photography, so being able to contribute to the blog is quite the honor!
As a copyright lawyer and photographer, I spend a lot of time thinking about not only how to create compelling images, but also how to help photographers maintain control of their work and to protect it from people looking to steal or profit from it without permission.
Copyright law is an area of great confusion and anxiety for many photographers, but it doesn't need to be. Fundamentally, copyright is about the right to control your work and how it's ultimately used. Like any law, there are some exceptions, but generally, if you make an image, you own the copyright and you get to control how it's used.
That means that you might still want to think about how copyright affects your images even if you don't plan to sell them. Of course, if you want to make your images freely available and just not worry about it all, that's fine too. My goal is to give you the tools necessary to evaluate your options when it comes to protecting your images legally and effectively online so you can decide for yourself what approach to take.
My new book, Copyright Workflow: Protecting, Managing, and Sharing Digital Images, walks through the nuts and bolts of copyright law, how to register your works with the U.S. Copyright Office -- something that's highly recommended, especially if you're a U.S. based photographer.
But in today's post, though, I want to give you four simple techniques you can apply today to protect your images online.
First, be sure to include identifying information in the metadata of your images. You can do that using your image management software. Using an import preset in Lightroom, you can make sure that every image in your library has the right information burned into the file.
In addition, most modern cameras let you put ownership information right in the camera so that its attached to your image file as soon as you create it.
You can also apply image borders or watermarks to help identify yourself as the photographer and copyright owner. Here I've applied a simple text watermark using Lightroom's Watermark Editor (accessible from within the Export dialog box), but you can also apply your logo (in PNG or JPEG format).
If you want to get a little bit more involved, you can add borders to your image that include logos, copyright statements, and whatever other information you might want to include.
There are lots of ways to do this, but I like to use a plugin for Lightroom called LR/Mogrify which lets me tailor the look of the image a little more than Lightroom's own watermark editor.
Of course, none of these methods are foolproof -- the metadata could be removed, your watermark could be cloned out, and the image could be cropped out of the borders. But, our goal isn't to make it impossible to take your images without permission, but just make it a "little bit difficult" to steal, and maybe even get some promotional value out of it.
The unfortunate reality these days is that there's a strong chance the images you post online will be used without your permission at some point. You can use a service like Tineye (which is free for noncommercial use) to help monitor online use of your images.
Here's a screen grab of Tineye showing 31 online uses of one of my images of the U.S. Capitol. (I should note that most of these uses are probably properly licensed, since I offer this image for royalty-free images, but this same tool can help you find unlicensed uses).
So, there you have it -- four techniques you can apply today to help keep control of your images once they're posted online. Interested in learning more about protecting your work? You can get 35% of my book, Copyright Workflow for Photographers: Protecting, Sharing, and Managing Digital Images by clicking here, and using the coupon code PEACHPIT35 when you check out.

Álvaro Serrano thoroughly examines the current landscape of photography gear:
"But first, let's take the obvious out of the way: there are no bad cameras or lenses out there anymore. That's a fact. It is extremely likely that whatever camera you already own is perfectly capable of taking really great pictures, if you take the time to learn how to use it. So be advised: a "better" camera will not magically make you a better photographer. If you're happy with what you already own, just keep it, stop reading now and go take some awesome pictures. This is all just splitting hairs, really."
Couldn't agree more (though as a nerd I do enjoy the hair-splitting).

Ancient wrestlers caught match-fixing by scientists
Scientists at King's College London have deciphered a Greek document which reveals that an ancient wrestling match from year A.D. 267 was fixed, LiveScience website reports. The contract was signed between two teenage athletes who made it to the final bout of the prestigious 138th Great Antinoeia games in Egypt.
According to the deal, the father of a wrestler named Nicantinous agreed to pay a bribe to the guarantors (likely the trainers) of another wrestler named Demetrius. The contract stipulated that Demetrius would "fall three times and yield," and would be rewarded with "3,800 drachmas of silver of old coinage."
A clause in the document stated that if the judges realized the match was fixed and refused to reward Nicantinous the win, Demetrius would still be paid.
If "the crown is reserved as sacred, [we] are not to institute proceedings against him about these things," it read.
However, if Demetrius went back on the deal and won the match, the contract ordered him "to pay as penalty to my [same] son on account of wrongdoing three talents of silver of old coinage without any delay or inventive argument."
Demetrius most likely came from a poor family, as he agreed to a rather small payment of 3,800 drachma, which was enough to buy a donkey at the time, said professor Dominic Rathbone, the translator of the contract.
It appears that Nicantinous wasn't at all sure of his ability to win the final, and turned to match fixing because there was no prize for placing second at the Great Antinoeia, he added.
But the translator said he's puzzled at the decision to create a written contract recording the agreement.
"It doesn't look as though they've actually gone as far as getting a scribe with legal knowledge to do this for them, which makes you wonder if it's a bit of an empty thing," Rathbone said, adding that it would have been difficult to take the matter to court if one of the parties had reneged.
It's the first time that a written contract of match fixing between two athletes from the ancient world has been found.
The document was found more than a century ago at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, by an expedition led by archaeologists Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt. The translation was released in the latest volume of The Oxyrhynchus Papyri, an ongoing series that publishes papyri from the site of Oxyrhynchus.

It's important, now more than ever, to continue reading, reflecting, and engaging in open dialogue about the issues facing us all as a nation. Here are our picks to help you do just that:
A HOPE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE SEA: One Refugee's Incredible Story of Love, Loss, and Survival by Melissa Fleming
"This poignant tale of survival and loss gives immediacy to the plight of Syrian refugees. Fleming's skillful writing brings new vividness to Doaa Al Zamel's dramatic story. This book amply demonstrates why Al Zamel has since become a symbol of hope for other refugees. Fleming should be congratulated for bringing [this] inspiring and illuminating story to the page." — Publishers Weekly
BUTTERFLY: From Refugee to Olympian – My Story of Rescue, Hope, and Triumph by Yusra Mardini
"BUTTERFLY is a powerful story of survival, inspiration, and hope with a resounding message: no one chooses to be a refugee; rather, horrific circumstances force ordinary people to take extraordinary measures to save themselves. This unforgettable memoir shines a spotlight on the refugee experience and the role sports can play in giving a voice to those affected by conflict throughout the world… Teens who enjoyed I AM MALALA will find another heroine in this inspirational memoir of a Syrian swimmer who became an advocate for refugees." — Booklist, starred review
CITY OF THORNS: Nine Lives in the World's Largest Refugee Camp by Ben Rawlence
Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist
Kirkus Reviews Best Books of the Year
"[A] remarkable book…Like Dadaab itself, the story has no conclusion. It is a portrait, beautifully and movingly painted. And it is more than that. At a time when newspapers are filled with daily images of refugees arriving in boats on Europe's shores, when politicians and governments grapple with solutions to migration and erect ever larger walls and fences, it is an important reminder that a vast majority of the world's refugees never get as far as a boat or a border of the developed world." — Caroline Moorehead, The New York Times Book Review
IN THE COUNTRY WE LOVE: My Family Divided by Diane Guerrero
"Guerrero relates her struggle to hold her life together, get through high school and college, and find her feet in the world—challenges that will resonate with many readers… [She] writes with humor and heartbreaking honesty. Offering readers the story she needed to hear as a child, Guerrero shines a light on this country's flawed immigration system, eloquently calling for reform without diminishing her appreciation for the opportunities US citizenship has afforded her. A timely and enlightening read." — Booklist
SPARE PARTS: Four Undocumented Teenagers, One Ugly Robot, and the Battle for the American Dream by Joshua Davis
"A gratifying human interest story that calls attention to the plight and promise of America's undocumented youth." — Library Journal
"Davis takes what could have been another feel-good story of triumphant underdogs and raises the stakes by examining the difficulties of these young immigrants in the context of the societal systems that they briefly and temporarily overcame." — Publishers Weekly
ONE PERSON, NO VOTE: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy by Carol Anderson
"This whiplash-inducing chronicle of how a nation that just a few short years ago elected its first black president now finds itself in the throes of a deceitful and craven effort to rip this most essential of American rights from millions of its citizens." — Booklist, starred review

Publishers Weekly recently announced their Best Summer Books of 2018, including these 9 Macmillan titles:
Top 10 (full list)
NEW POETS OF NATIVE NATIONS, edited by Heid E. Erdrich
Rather than anthologize contemporary and emerging authors alongside classic or familiar ones, Erdrich introduces readers to 21 Native poets whose writing was first published after 2000. It's a simple, powerful framing and all that is needed to introduce readers to a group of writers whose breadth and diversity of styles represent some of the best of contemporary poetry today. —Alex Green, New England correspondent
Fiction (full list)
BABY TEETH by Zoje Stage
Stage's debut novel is a deviously fun domestic horror story that takes child-rearing anxiety to demented new heights. Frustrated stay-at-home mom Suzette attempts to pacify her seven-year-old daughter Hanna, who adores her father but distrusts Suzette, has dangerous tantrums, and only speaks in the voice of a 17th-century girl who was burned at the stake. As Suzette tries to connect with Hanna, Hanna plots ways to "step up her game against Mommy."
BROTHER by David Chariandy
Set during the summer of 1991 in the Park, a housing complex in the Toronto suburb of Scarborough, Chariandy's powerful and incendiary novel tracks the coming of age of two mixed-heritage brothers. Sensitive Michael fumbles through his first relationship while volatile Francis becomes obsessed with the burgeoning hip-hop scene. Chariandy imbues his resilient characters with strength and hope.
KUDOS by Rachel Cusk
Cusk's final book in a trilogy (after OUTLINE and TRANSIT) expertly concludes the story of protagonist British author Faye. Like its predecessors, the novel eschews chronicling Faye's life via traditional narrative, instead filling each page with conversations with and monologues by the many writers, journalists, and publicists she meets during her travels. As always, Cusk's ear for dialogue and language is stunning. The author ends Faye's trilogy with yet another gem.
Mystery (full list)
CAGED by Ellison Cooper
In her debut thriller, Cooper, an anthropologist who has worked as a murder investigator in Washington, D.C., channels "equal parts Kathy Reichs and Thomas Harris" (according to Lisa Gardner). In the basement of a D.C. house, a woman is found dead in a cage—left to slowly starve to death in a cold and calculating experiment with no clear motive. readmoreremove

Day's YA – HOW I RESIST
Happy New Year, YA friends!
Winter Storm Grayson is in full force over here in NYC, so we're staying bundled up today. The temperatures outside might be arctic-like, but I have a book for you that's sure to light a fire of resistance in the hearts of readers young and old.
HOW I RESIST by Maureen Johnson
Available May 15, 2018 from Wednesday Books
Ages 13 to 18
Young people are rising up among the ranks of activists and it is absolutely vital that their voices are heard. This book will help to make sure that happens. HOW I RESIST is a compilation of essays, interviews, poems, and songs written for teens about activism, strength, and having hope in a time when the world looks bleak. Chapters include an essay about growing up queer and Hispanic in Texas, a guide to calling your representatives, a short story about being an activist while at college, and a list of books about resistance compiled by librarians, plus a number of other thoughtful and thought-provoking topics. The all-star cast of contributors includes Libba Bray, Javier Muñoz, Rosie O'Donnell, Jodi Picoult, Jason Reynolds, Jacqueline Woodson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and his husband Justin Mikita, Sabaa Tahir, and so many more.
While this collection is written specifically for young people, it will make readers of all ages pause and think about what they are doing–or what they could be doing–to make the world a better place, which ultimately has an impact on resistance, as Hebh Jamal points out: "Taking time to think deeply about one's advocacy makes a more productive advocate. How I resist is therefore deeply affected by how much I am willing to think." The message of hope within these pages is one that all readers can and should turn to for inspiration and encouragement. In the end, it's about being true to who you are and believing that you have the power to make a change because, as Rebecca Roanhorse says in her chapter of the book, "Being you is the most powerful kind of resistance of all." readmoreremove
Books for Teens 2018 + "Day's YA!"
Welcome to the 2018 Books for Teens post!
I am Emily Day, Macmillan's Library Marketing Assistant / YA Specialist and your host and curator of this post. I recently moved to NYC from Boston, where I worked as a bookseller at Trident Booksellers and Cafe, an intern at Charlesbridge Publishing and the Horn Book, and a children's literature graduate student at Simmons College. If I'm listening to music, it's probably a Broadway musical soundtrack, I love and collect maps, and I prefer cold, cloudy days to warm, sunny ones. I read YA almost exclusively, and some of my all-time favorites are WORDS IN DEEP BLUE by Cath Crowley, ARISTOTLE AND DANTE DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, I'LL GIVE YOU THE SUN by Jandy Nelson, INSIDE OUT & BACK AGAIN by Thanhha Lai, and ANNE OF GREEN GABLES by L.M. Montgomery (technically those last two aren't YA, but they're just so spectacular that I had to list them).
In addition to featuring forthcoming YA and YA-ok titles from Wednesday Books and Flatiron Books YA, I will also include my candid reviews of as many titles as I can possibly read (starting with two of my absolute faves, Melissa Albert's THE HAZEL WOOD and Adrienne Young's SKY IN THE DEEP), which will be labeled as "Day's YA!" [GET IT? HA!] So, when you're ready to scroll, stories of Vikings and Valkyries, hospitals and heartthrobs, mental illness and fighting back, all await you below.
Ready? Here we go!
First, make sure that you're pre-approved on Edelweiss to download all of our available e-galleys, including many of the titles mentioned below. Click here to find out how to be whitelisted.

But the glitter of the royal court belies a world of violence and fear. If Amani ever wishes to see her family again, she must play the princess to perfection . . . because one wrong move could lead to her death.
"Daud's gorgeously written novel features lush and poetic language that brings the setting into vivid color. In addition to the blend of [science fiction] and fantasy, Daud supplies a dash of forbidden romance destined to leave the reader gasping for breath." —Booklist, starred review
"Daud expertly uses a sci-fi setting to explore issues within our own society, particularly the effects of colonization on both individuals and cultures as a whole." —School Library Journal, starred review
" . . . readers will appreciate the rich world and prose built by a much-needed diverse voice." —Kirkus Reviews
SADIE by Courtney Summers
Available now from Wednesday Books
Ages 13 to 18
SADIE is the story of a missing girl on a journey of revenge and a Serial-like podcast following the clues she's left behind. When Sadie's little sister, Mattie, is found dead, Sadie hits the road on a mission to find her sister's killer. But when West McCray—a radio personality working on a segment about small, forgotten towns in America—overhears Sadie's story at a local gas station, he becomes obsessed with finding the missing girl. He starts his own podcast as he tracks Sadie's journey, trying to figure out what happened, hoping to find her before it's too late.

" . . . Summers excels at slowly unspooling both Sadie's and West's investigations at a measured, tantalizing pace." —Booklist, starred review
"It's impossible to not be drawn into this haunting thriller of a book. A heartrending must-have." —School Library Journal, starred review

THE HAZEL WOOD by Melissa Albert
Available now from Flatiron Books
Ages 12 to 18
Also available in audio
SIX starred reviews!!
Day's YA Review:
Reminiscent of Emily Carroll's THROUGH THE WOODS and Emma Donoghue's KISSING THE WITCH, Melissa Albert has hit the nail on the head with this spooky homage to fairy tales. Though Albert's novel is not a retelling of a classic fairy tale, she has managed to create a completely original narrative filled with riveting characters and a captivating plot that still retains some of the elements of more traditional tales. THE HAZEL WOOD is an obvious choice for lovers of fantasy novels and classic fairy tales, but it will also appeal to fans of YA mystery novels, such as E. Lockhart's WE WERE LIARS, and stories about the discovery of deep, personal truths, such as Nicola Yoon's EVERYTHING EVERYTHING. Albert's enchanting debut novel is truly something special and will leave you with the lingering notion that our stories are all around us, influencing us and comprising our most inner beings.

Day's YA Review:
As soon as I reached the last page of this novel, I wanted to go back and start from the beginning again just so I could continue to be wrapped up in Young's words. Know her characters. Experience the world she created. The character of Eelyn is a badass warrior heroine who will appeal to fans of Marvel's Wonder Woman, as well as Disney's Brave and Tamora Pierce's Alanna series. Eelyn is simultaneously fierce and sensitive; she loves deeply, but she is also able to instantly take someone down with her axe. Adrienne Young's debut novel is written with the finesse of a veteran author, and to give you a taste of her brilliance I'm going to leave you with a quote from the second page of the book that captures the emotion and voice of the novel:
"Vegr yfir fior. Honor above life. The first whistle cut into the air from our right, warning us to get ready and I closed my eyes, feeling the steadiness of the earth beneath my feet. The sounds of battle rushing toward us bled together as the deep-throated prayers of my clansmen rose up around me like smoke from a wildfire. I let the words march out under my breath, asking Sigr to guard me. To help me bring down his enemies."
Click here to read the full review.
And now, a word from debut author, Adrienne Young:
Dear Librarians,
As story gatekeepers, I know the role you play in a book's life and in the life of young people is invaluable. That's why I am so excited for you to meet Eelyn, a fierce, but deep warrior whose life is about to change forever. In many ways, her journey reflects my own and I know that there are teens out there who will find a mirror in these pages. What I hope girls see in this book is the message that I wish had been given to me—that you don't have to apologize for strength and passion and that you don't have to be either hard or soft, but that you can be both. You can fight fiercely and you can love deeply. Most importantly, that you can dare to see the world differently than the way you always have. And that even though it's scary, it's absolutely thrilling to open your eyes for the first time. Eelyn will be forced to confront everything she's ever been taught. She will have to grieve, learn to love, and redefine what family, loyalty, and forgiveness is.
I hope you are swept away with Eelyn as she runs straight into battle, headed toward a future she could never have imagined!
Thank You,
Adrienne Young

Trade paperback, 216 pages, with afterword by ghostwriter Leo Guild and a chronology of Barbara Payton's life. Free domestic shipping.
by barbara payton
"A dime store (in the best sense of the term) Notes from Underground – the bellowing of the underground woman" – Kim Morgan
I Am Not Ashamed, first published in 1963, is the absurdist tale of a forgotten movie star's unnerving decline. Click here to read an EXCERPT.
When sleazy journalist Leo Guild arrived at Barbara Payton's flophouse Hollywood apartment, he was surprised to find that the thirty-five-year-old former actress was working as a prostitute to support her alcohol addiction. He brought her cases of cheap wine, turned on the tape recorder, and she began to speak . . .
Surreal and often depressing, I Am Not Ashamed is an anti-memoir: as Payton reveals intimate moments of her life, she slides down and down the wormhole of her memories and watches her life in numb horror. Unable to recover or make any changes, Payton remains locked in admiration of her brief Hollywood fame.
A self-proclaimed "con girl in specialized areas of living," Payton is pathologically self-destructive. Her favorite topic is men – how she used men to get ahead, and how they used her. In its bizarre frankness, I Am Not Ashamed follows in the autobiographical tradition of Jack Black's You Can't Win and Liz Renay's My Face for the World to See, and the literary tradition of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes from Underground and William S. Burroughs' Junkie.
Barbara Payton was born in Cloquet, Minnesota, in 1927. She starred in her first film in 1949 and soon after took the lead role in Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye, co-starring James Cagney. When her acting career began to decline, Payton appeared in low-budget films and on the covers of tabloid magazines, and later became destitute and increasingly dependent on alcohol and pills. In 1961 she was evicted from her apartment, and she was arrested for solicitation in 1962. She worked with the journalist Leo Guild on her memoir, the camp classic I Am Not Ashamed, in 1963. Four years later, Payton died from alcohol-related causes at the age of thirty-nine.
Today, right now I live in a rat-roach (they're friends) infested apartment with not a bean to my name and I drink too much Rosé wine. I don't like what my scale tells me. The little money I do accumulate to pay the rent comes from old residuals, poetry and favors to men. I love the Negro race and I will accept money only from Negroes. Does it all sound depressing to you? Queasy? Well, I'm not ashamed. I have hope. I don't live in rosy-hazed memory. I look to the future.

text: snow is the man #1 Posted August 21, 2017 In terms of an army vs army battle the dead that we have now seem weak. In the books and season one when that one attacks mormont it is incredibly hard to kill one which is why it makes them so dangerous. You can't just stab them you have to hack them up and do alot of damage or burn them as jon does because it seems impossible to kill that one after all the damage he did. Now they can be killed by being stabbed with a knife and they fight with no formation and since they have no sense of self preservation they don't even try to dodge the attacks. Put up a proper shield wall with well trained soldiers using spears from behind it and have archers firing from the back and even if they need to be fire arrows the dead army would still be destroyed. Yes you would still have the white walkers but how many are there? This really annoys me because they seem less dangerous then people now and can be beaten by the northern army by itself. Yes they have massive numbers but a proper army could beat them. And since they have twenty thousand men in the north...well the dead are not nearly as big of a threat as we thought. Just annoys me to have it done that way. And yes now they have an ice dragon but that wasn't what we feared for so long. Anyone else disappointed by how they went this route.

Now with the threat of Cyclone Phailin expected to hit the Odisha coast tomorrow, I was once again reminded about my Andaman trip because I had heard that Phailin had prevented a few flights from landing in Port Blair!
|Pic courtesy: http://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/show.html
Let me confess. One of the reasons I had agreed to go was the opportunity to do something a little different. When you think Andamans, the first thing that pops up in everyone's mind are pristine beaches. My mind was thinking 'green' instead of 'blue' but it also thought of so many other colours! Andaman has a rich bird population many of which are endemic.
First thing I did sometime in mid-august, before packing my stuff for Andaman's, was to type out a list of birds (and reptile) I hoped to see. I admit, four days with a rather cramped schedule was not exactly ideal for birding, but the optimist in me was not about to give up. My list include some 69 birds, including the Narcondam Hornbill though I wasn't going even remotely close to a boat to Narcondam!
If you are a serious birder, Andaman should be on your list of 'to do' birding spots. The only issue is that you have to set aside a good 10-12 days for it. Birding in Andamans will require you to travel by road and by boat so you have to be prepared for spending time for that.
The fundamental mistake I made, and I admit it, is that I was a little unprepared. Since the primary reason for the trip was a book release I carried photography gear for the occasion. Bird season was still a couple of months off and I did not expect to see much in that little time I had!
Mistake number 1: My longest and fastest lens didn't make the trip because I wasn't keen to lug some 5.5 kgs to a book launch.
Mistake number 2: I took a 75-300 mm tele-zoom hoping that the digital 2x in the camera would help. (Don't call me an idiot, I know I'm one!)
Mistake number 3: I left my binoculars behind, partly because I wanted to carry less weight on my rain forest trek and partly because I didn't want to be clapped in the Cellular jail for snooping around sensitive military installations!
Mistake number 4: I completely misjudged the weather and didn't carry my rain cover for the gear. It was in the camera bag with the Zuiko 300mm f2.8 that I so injudiciously left behind.
Mistake number 5: I left all my Manfrotto support gear including the tripod, monopod and the 393 heavy lens support behind. I carried only a small tripod. Reason; less luggage more comfort!
So there I was, standing in Andaman Teal House ruing the decisions regarding my gear. Now I have some pictures that I'm really ashamed of!
The rain didn't need a reason in Andamans. It just poured whenever I hoped it wouldn't. The end result was that these are the worst set of bird photos I ever got. Not that I'm a skilled photographer but some of these pics are worse than novice level!
The first birds were the rock pigeons that were fluttering about the roofs of our guest house.
They seemed a little darker than the ones we see back on the mainland but I could be mistaken.
The drongos and hill mynas were too far to get a decent picture so didn't bother considering that I had a trip to Chidiya Tapu and Havelock planned.
Since there was some confusion regarding the book release and the rather unpredictable weather, my trek plans to Chidiya Tapu had to be shelved but I was determined to do a trip just to see how the place was in the rain. A detour to Sippy Ghat was a waste of time. I had got a white bellied sea eagle on my last trip there but this was off season and was hoping for some early migrants but I only lost a good hour driving up for nothing.
An hour in Chidiya Tapu (Bird Island) on 04/09/2013
By the time we reached Chidiya Tapu it was past 4.30 and the light was fading fast. The continuous drizzle wasn't helping either. When you turn left at the Forest Guest house to Munda Pahar beach, the road passes through a bit of forest. The first sign of the rich bird life came into view as we turned a sharp corner. The Emerald Dove was on it evening stroll, picking some juicy tidbits from the road.
|Emerald dove on the road to Munda Pahar
I knew if I stepped out of the car it would be the last I saw of it. I squeezed of a couple of shots before I tried to get out without attracting its attention. I failed in that endeavor and the bird took off.
There were a fair number of cars in the parking lot at Munda Pahar and the beach had it's share of noisy drunken tourists. My eyes, however were on the trees. I could hear the squawking of the parakeets high up in the dense canopy. There seemed to be birds everywhere but I couldn't really get any lined up in my sights. The sky was a somber grey, as if to reflect my mood, which was also getting increasingly darker because of the drizzle.
I couldn't set my aperture wider than around f8 because the birds were to high up and I needed a little DOF. Anything smaller would mean a slow shutter speed and at 300mm with shaky hands the pictures would be completely out of focus as the one above shows. Even hiking the ISO to between 1600 and 4000 wasn't really helping. At that moment I regretted leaving my big lens behind. There were plenty of birds and in the half an hour I was in Chidiya Tapu I got at least four endemics.
|Andaman wood pigeon with an oriole and parakeets. Too far for my lens!
|Red breasted parakeet
|Collared kingfisher
|Long tailed parakeet
En route to Mount Harriet on 05/09/2013
The other place I had in mind was Mount Harriet and more than birds it was reptiles I was hoping to see. My trek in Chidiya Tapu was washed out so I was hoping I would encounter some snakes at least in Mount Harriet. It was a truly wonderful experience to be tramping along alone in a rain forest but it was too dense for any bird sighting. The house sparrows were everywhere including on the ferry to Bambooflat!
|House sparrows on the ferry
The only consolation was the white bellied sea eagle sitting on a barren tree and surveying the scene below. Looked like a juvenile and it wasn't looking to go anywhere.
24 hours in Havelock (6th & 7th September, 2013)
Our ferry to Havelock was scheduled to leave at 7.30 but as with all private ferries plying from Port Blair they waited to have the seats filled. Consequently, our departure was delayed by an hour. Hanging around on the jetty along with the passengers were the usual sparrows....
....and also a lone bird whose identity I really wasn't sure of. It looked like one of the plovers (Pacific Golden) in non breeding winter plumage but I stand to be corrected.
|Is this a Pacific Golden plover?
After a rather late breakfast in Nala's at the Havelock jetty we reached our resort a little after half past eleven. The first bird I met was this handsome fellow right near the reception.
|Red breasted parakeet
|Spot the white headed starling in this picture!
A black-naped oriole was too well camouflaged and the dense foliage wasn't making things easy.
|Black-naped oriole
|Hill myna
My niece wanted to eat a wood fired pizza that was apparently a specialty in one particular eaterie called German bakery. Though we had no clue where this place was, we decided to drive around. The evening was free because my proposed trek to the Elephant beach never materialized, courtesy the weather!
|The 'Lee Meridian restaurant' & German Bakery!
The German bakery has shifted its location to a place across the road from where it originally was. It is on the road to Kalapathar village, along the beach No.5. They now have thatched cottages too. At the end of the path along the cottages, just beyond the fence is a tree with no foliage, and on that tree was this bird trying to attract my attention!
|Juvenile crested serpent eagle
|Red breasted parakeets
|Collared kingfisher
Red whiskerd bulbuls were very in larger groups than I was used seeing at home.
There were so many other birds, busy flitting about their morning chores....
|Another black-naped oriole
|A group of large cuckooshrikes
|Scarlet minivets
|Large cuckooshrike
|Stork-billed kingfisher
There was no point in risking my gear and limbs (there is a lot of large drift wood on Radhanagar now and my aunt was felled by one that hit her shins!) and breakfast winds up at 9.30 in Barefoot.
I would have time for a bath before taking care of my rumbling tummy. I had been out on the beach for 3 hours.
Breakfast over, we packed up for the return ferry. The ferry was at 4 PM but since check out was at 11 we thought we'd hang around till lunch before catching our cab to the jetty.
There were more birds seeking relief from the rain like me. This emerald dove was too cold to even move a feather despite my standing right under it!
|Emerald dove
|Andaman drongo
|Asian fairy bluebird
|Greater racket-tailed drongo
|Scarlet minivet females
There were more birds I sighted but couldn't get on camera. A black eagle, common kingfisher, white breasted kingfisher, glossy swiftlet, Andaman crake, a tern and a ?bittern I couldn't identify.
I have to go back again but the weather pattern has changed completely and I have been hearing of flights being diverted elsewhere recently!
If anyhow, after reading this, you have had an inspiration to go to the Andamans for birding here are a few tips.
Travel Facts:
- Choose your season well. Many websites do mention that the monsoon is over by September but the last few years have seen rains spilling over for a couple of months further. Either way, be prepared for fickle weather.
- The light is also very unpredictable. It gets cloudy very quickly and if you are in thick rain forest it is a real disadvantage. Day starts early, as early as 5 AM, and the sunset is also consequently, much earlier than then on the mainland.
- As I said in my last post the trees are very, very tall so you need to carry your longest reaching and fastest lenses. If you have a prime telephoto things are easy but try to keep your aperture setting at f8 and manipulate your shutter using ISO settings.
- You will need a sturdy tripod or monopod. The small ones are not of any help. I was trying to take pictures of the waves with long exposures and the tripod gets shaken by the waves.
- Carry a rain cover for your gear. It can rain at the most unexpected moments.
- Don't leave your binoculars behind like me. Besides the tall trees you also have obstacles like the mangrove forests and the tides, which come in the way of good close sighting.
- Have your Pocket Guide to the Birds of the Indian Subcontinent by Grimmett & Inskipps handy. You are going to meet a lot of unusual birds that are not seen on the mainland!
- Be ready for my friends, the little leeches. Don't worry, they only drink a fraction of the blood that their mainland cousins feast on! On the beaches you have the sand flies instead of leeches.

Poyet urges Sunderland to take opportunity
Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet wants his players to forget about their Premier League plight and enjoy the League Cup final.
The Uruguayan admits he was not expecting to be leading his side, who sit 18th in the top flight, out at Wembley so early in his tenure at the Stadium of Light.
Manchester City go into Sunday's final as strong favourites, but Sunderland have won the last two competitive meetings between the sides.
Poyet intends to enjoy every moment of the day and wants his players to do the same.
"It's going to be special. Firstly, because I was not expecting this in my first season here, and secondly because everything was very, very dark and sad when we got here," said Poyet.
"Now we are 90 minutes away - or 120 - from being the happiest people in England.
"Forget about the rest, in the cup especially, we have been a team that was difficult to play against and we have beaten top teams to have a chance to be in the final.
"Now if you asked every manager in England if they would like to be where we are, they would say to you, 'yes' because you have got a chance to win something.
"We need to make sure that we do everything possible to take this opportunity. That's the only thing I can ask of my players, everything possible."
Sunderland, who are appearing in their second League Cup final, have not lifted a major domestic trophy since beating Leeds United to win the FA Cup in 1973.

Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant Introduces New Fall Prix Fixe Menus
Throughout the year, Roy's Hawaiian Fusion Restaurant offers seasonal prix fixe menus throughout all their restaurants. Their 3-course Fall Prix Fixe menu is currently available for $35.95 per person, which includes a fresh and flavorful appetizer, entrée and dessert. Recently, I was invited to a hosted Media Dinner at Roy's by Liz Murphy of Formula PR Inc to sample some of the dishes featured on this fall menu.
Our tasting menu started with "Elaine's" Kabocha Squash Salad with Cinnamon Spiced Pepitas and Cranberry Vinaigrette. Who's Elaine you may ask? She's the winner of a recent contest on Roy's Facebook where their Facebook followers got to suggest two ingredients that would be used for a salad and the winner was Elaine. Congrats to Elaine. As for the salad, it was a nice combination of flavors from the tartness of the cranberry vinaigrette to the sweet and woody nuttiness of the cinnamon-spiced pepitas.
More ...
The second course was easily my favorite of the night and it was the Blackened Rock Shrimp and Red Bean Soup with Portuguese Sausage and Shishito. What a hearty and a fall appropriate soup. It was filling and full of flavor and I enjoyed the hit of heat that came from the shishito peppers.
Next to arrive was the Artichoke and Goat Cheese Crusted Salmon with Sundried Tomato Sauce. I really liked the golden crust on the surface of the salmon and enjoyed eating the little bites of embedded artichoke pieces, but where oh where was the goat cheese? Perhaps there wasn't enough added to the fish. Goat cheese to me has these pungent flavors and there's a bite to it that I adore. If the promise of the goat cheese had been fulfilled, this would have been a much better dish.
Following the salmon came the Cilantro Grilled Tiger Shrimp with Stewed Curried Lentils. At my table of four, this was the least favorite dish of the group. However, the spicy and peppery cilantro complimented the sweetness of the shrimp, so I enjoyed it; however, the curried lentils didn't do it for me. The flavor of the lentils seemed muddied and heavy to me. It was hard to distinguish what seasoning was used to cook them. All of them just melded together.
From sea to land and up next was the Tender Braised Beef Short Ribs with Creamy Mashed Potatoes and Natural Braising Sauce and indeed the short ribs were tender and those mashed potatoes were definitely creamy. I also liked the playfulness of how the mashed potatoes were piped to form a spiral shape.
Finally, it was time for dessert and on one plate, we were served both the Pumpkin and Ginger Cheese Cake with a Pumpkin Anglaise and Roy's Melting Hot Chocolate Soufflé, which is a Flourless Chocolate Cake with a Molten Hot Center served à la Mode. I should probably mention that cheese cake isn't a favorite dessert of mine. It's not that I have anything against it, but there are other desserts I'd rather order.
Having said that, it's a good cheesecake and you can definitely taste the pumpkin. I also really liked the ginger cream that was served with the cheesecake and the pepita brittle was pretty darn good as well. I've had Roy's Melting Hot Chocolate Souffle before and it's just as good now as it was the first time I had it a few years ago. It's hard to resist a chocolate cake with oozing chocolate sauce. I know I couldn't.
To end, I always appreciate it when a restaurant changes up its menu to fit the season. For one thing, it makes use of ingredients that are at their best. Second, for regular diners, it's a nice change from the regular menu and it's an invitation to come back and visit if you hadn't been at the restaurant in awhile. So if you hadn't come by Roy's downtown LA location, now may be the time.

Sorry its not a link with a thumb nail but it will take you straight to the video, it's a seriously good watch.
Christine Sun Kim at Haverford College, helping hear a deaf artists voice.Posted: March 19, 2014 Filed under: Constellation, Journal, Uncategorized | Tags: art, art through sound, christine sun kim, conste, deaf, have a voice, haverford college, sonic arts, sound Leave a comment
As i previously blogged, i've been asked to do a case study on Christine Sun Kim for my Sonic Arts lecture. I had never heard of her as an artist before, but as i look a little more into her theory's and work i am become more and more impressed with her work. here's a short video i found with an example of her work and a brief explanation of why she creates the are she does, enjoy…
Christine Sun Kim – Sonic ArtsPosted: March 18, 2014 Filed under: Constellation, Uncategorized | Tags: art, case study, christine sun kim, constellation, research, sonic arts, todd selby Leave a comment
I have been asked to write an essay for my constellation class, we were given a choice of three questions to answer, I chose to do a case study on Christine Sun Kim. truthfully, the other questions and artists bored me, but Christine instantly caught my attention. Christine is a New York based performance artist, but what surprised me the most about her is she was born deaf.
I haven't done too much research into my case study yet, but thought i would share the video that introduced me to Christine Sun Kim, its very enlightening and shows a little about what her work is about.
A Travelers Diary. Field task successfully completedPosted: March 18, 2014 Filed under: Field, Journal, Subject, Uncategorized | Tags: book, creative, diary, field, final product, how to be and explorer, inspiration, instructions, journal, keri smith Leave a comment
During this term we were put into groups with students from all subjects within the art and design school, and asked to create something linking to Migration.
Admittedly i was lazy to start with and nothing seemed to grip me, but as out ideas progressed it became more exciting. As i mentioned in a previous post I have been looking at Keri Smith's 'How to be an explorer of the world', her work influenced our final idea greatly. we wanted to create something in which you could document how you might migrate through your day, wherever you may be. We decided to create instructions or tasks for the reader to complete, with page to record or document the results. we had to think of 5 instructions each, I tried to think of things i would like to do as i start my day, but never actually do.
As a textile student it was up to me to design the cover. after researching similar travelers documentations i decided to go with something eye catching and mysterious. So i made a patchwork cover with scraps of fabrics from around the house, and left the book untitled. My idea is that someone will see this book, patchwork cover, no title and ponder what the book could be about, then as curiosity works its magic, the book will be investigated and loved!
I was really pleased with the result and am really hoping that i get to keep the book, we only produced one and there are 5 in our group…
Here is the final product (apologies if the pictures are unclear) HANDS UP IF YOU WANT TO COMPLETE THE TASKS!

Here are some fabrics that caught my eye whilst trolling the charity shops. one was a dress, the other two men's shirts. I didn't buy any of them sadly as my wardrobe is already bursting with charity shop gems.
These are examples of the textiles i would like to design at some point, 80's/90's print rock my socks.
My studio book developing… slowly…Posted: March 17, 2014 Filed under: Field, Journal, Subject, Uncategorized | Tags: buskers, drawing, embroidery, fineline, freehand, homeless, instrument, research, sketch, technique, woman Leave a comment
So im pretty good at leaving things until the final weeks to do, so lately i've been butting the last 2 months thoughts on paper and trying to develop my ideas. As i've recently blogged, my brief is 'migration through the city' and i have chosen to look at the people of the city, the intoxicated public, homeless and buskers. Here is a quick update of what kind of research i have been responding to, using drawings and stitch. I'm currently lacking print work but have every intention of including some in my sample and research.
Keri Smith, How to be an ExplorerPosted: March 17, 2014 Filed under: Field, Journal, Subject, Uncategorized | Tags: exploration, how to be an explorer of the world, inspiration, keri smith, migration, research, studio book, textiles Leave a comment
Our 'friday tasks' (self explanatory) have been taken from a book created my Keri Smith, so as additional research and to start filling my studio book, I started completing some of the tasks, or what Smith calls 'Explorations'. This creative book is filled with weir and wonderful things to complete and document, im currently looking at exploration #33, Arrangements. The idea is to collect something in mass (im thinking leaves, scraps, trash) and lay them as you like and just experiment with them, I want to do some drawings and rubbings with different media of the patterns and textures I find and document the outcomes.
Note to self: get the ball rolling on this one, start collecting!!
Her blog is an interesting read and great for inspiration too!
Other Explorations i have completed are #20, small thoughts and #26 document things used in daily routine.
In my field group we coincidentally ended up using Smith's book are inspiration for our own creative and documentation book, as a group we had to create five tasks each, all including a place to document the findings. I came up with my ideas by thinking of things i would like to do in my day, but never think of doing, they worked very well. The task book is in the process of being binded so havent actually seen the completed book myself, but here are some pictures of my mind map of task ideas and example pages, enjoy!

Since we gonna move soon, I was searching for home office ideas as an inspiration to recreate.
I always had a thing for interior design, but now as we are moving in a couple of weeks I am in paradise. I love gathering ideas for every little space we'll have in the new house and what's a better place to start than Pinterest! Unfortunately we won't have a whole room for a home office but our bedroom will be big enough for a nice office corner.
So there are a few ideas below that I love and hope you'll also find it useful.
[dahz_framework_empty_space space="30px"/]
A classic combination of greige (grey and beige) and wood. The light colored carpet, the floral armchair, the curtain and especially the green plants makes the overall look a little less edgy and more girly.
[dahz_framework_empty_space space="30px"/]
We all know that rose and grey is a great combinations when it comes to design. So why not incorporate it to the office space as well? If you wanna upgrade it, I suggest adding pretty rose gold office supplies such as a lamp or some kind of file container.
[dahz_framework_empty_space space="30px"/]
This is scandinavian style is so simple still elegant. I love the all white look. All you need to add is your accessories that will make this space balanced.
[dahz_framework_empty_space space="30px"/]
Pastels, pink, beige and a lot of white. These are the ingredients to a chic and shabby design. Girly prints and different textures will make it even more interesting. I just wanna sit in that cosy chair and start blogging right away.
[dahz_framework_empty_space space="30px"/] Finally a gold and white style that I love. The gold accents give it a nice and elegant look. Choose a geometric patterned rug and add a little color with bright pink accessories.
What do you think? Which one(s) you like? Feel free to share your pictures about your dream office looks.[dahz_framework_empty_space space="30px"/][dahz_framework_empty_space space="30px"/]

Heidi brings joy to everyone she meets, from her small Alpine village, to the bustling city of Frankfurt, Germany, and back home to her beloved Alps. A heartwarming musical retelling of the treasured classic by Johanna Spyri, with book by Martha King De Silva and music & lyrics by Joan Cushing (PETITE ROUGE).
InSpyriAtionalby playgoer
Wednesday, December 20, 2017
"Heidi the Musical" translates Johanna Spyri's beloved story to the musical stage, simplifying it in the process and removing the overt Christian moralizing in the original. The emphasis is on Heidi's sunny personality and how she brings joy to all she encounters (with the exception of Julie Trammel's delightfully sour Frau Rottenmeier).
Elizabeth Jarrett's set design features two mountains that double as houses, with one rotating to show the interior of Heidi's grandfather's cottage and the other opening up to show Clara's house. The backdrop is fairly crudely drawn with color blocks of other mountains, and the edges of the proscenium are painted with Swiss floral folk art patterns. There's a city-like segment on a flat up stage right that may be meant to complement Clara's house, but which is pretty much wasted. The set definitely gives the flavor of Switzerland, as do Derrick Vanmeter's colorful costumes.
Elisabeth Cooper's lighting design nicely transitions between day and night, lowering a round lantern to represent the moon. Other visual technical elements are also attractive, especially Cody Russell's props and Derrick Vanmeter goat puppets. Ricardo Aponte's choreography isn't extensive, but adds sprightly energy to group numbers.
Sound, however, is another story. Either sound designer Rob Brooksher or sound engineer Preston Goodson has decided to pump up the volume on musical numbers to ground-thumping levels. Christopher Cannon's orchestrations come through loud and clear, but the voices blended in with this overpowering music get distorted, especially for the singers like Julie Trammel and Jessenia Ingram (Heidi) who project strongly. The sound is, quite frankly, dreadful and a blot on this otherwise pleasant production.
Joan Cushing's score is bright, tuneful, and nicely sung. I found it much more appealing than her songs for "Miss Nelson Is Missing!" The book, by Martha King de Silva, plucks memorable moments from the novel, with sometimes abrupt emotional transitions from one to the next. The outlines of the story come across, but not the subtleties. Puppet characters Dusty and Daisy give the goats a bit of extra personality and provide some of the most charming movement in the show.
Director Julie Skrzypek has blended her cast into a smooth-working ensemble. Jessenia Ingram gives us a cheery, apple-cheeked Heidi, while Emily Parrish Stembridge imbues Clara with a sweet sadness that Heidi's presence turns to unbridled joy. Patrick Wade charms as sturdy Peter, while Robert Owenby impresses as Mayor Strasser and Clara's father, his wonderful singing voice among the best of the cast. Julie Trammel is a delight in whatever character she is portraying, and Taryn Janelle and Jake Krakovsky fill their ensemble roles with strong stage presence and terrific vocals. Alex Van has to contend with a storyline that makes his character of Heidi's grandfather alternately mean and sweet, rather than transitioning between them with any subtlety, but comes across relatively well.
One rather unsuccessful directorial choice is to have the actors try Swiss/German accents, using the assistance of dialect coach, Jan Wilkstrom. Only Mr. Owenby has a consistent, believable accent, and even he fails to take the umlaut in "fräulein" into account. Everyone else puts a little stilted spin on an occasional phrase or two with a vaguely German accent. Given the obviously Swiss scenery and costumes, the use of any accents at all seems unnecessary.
Ms. Skrzypek has created a swiftly-moving show that barely pauses for applause after the frequent musical numbers. The energy and commitment of the cast join with the charm of the staging to provide a delightful hour and a half of entertainment. This production of "Heidi the Musical" speeds through Johanna Spyri's story and leaves a happy feeling in the heart, with cheerful memories of the songs and dances and performances.
