Miss Miss - selfie! selfie!
... The National Monument - hooray. Since yesterday nothing had changed, it was still just a monument and I was still a celebrity - we must have posed for easily another 10 photos over the course of the morning. Then just as we were leaving there was a huge group of school children all having a group photo together, when they saw us they all started waving and shouting and then we nearly all got mobbed as they came running over shouting "Miss ...
Meeting Tante Prita at London School of PR
I was invited to meet Ibu Prita to see if I could find a job at LSPR so I went to Tante Retno, my father's friend's wife. This was the first time I took a taxi there by myself but everything was fine. She had a big house as I know she's quite successful, well, her husband. She took me to Le Meridien in Central Jakarta. There I met Ibu Prita, got talking and met some of the teachers, in particular, the Personnel ...
... spend sometime reflecting on my travels but not doing so well- not the reflective sort on my own I guess. Will keep trying. Green finger nails, is it wrong to have bought green nail varnish in the airport with the money that someone gave to you to have a drink or snack with but you went to the Lounge and had 'free' food and drink and had to use up the money some now. Now I can do port and starboard nails, but left my red ...
My own little corner of Southeast Asia
... the airport but I'm not sure how accurate that is considering it was at midnight. Taxi fare is SUPER cheap here compared to anywhere else I've been (the exchange rate is CLEARLY in nearly every other country's favor). If you know how to work the bus system it can cost you as little as $.35/ride but I'm told that it has taken as long as 4 hours to get to central Jakarta ... I guess we'll see how long it takes me to figure that out.
Call to Prayer
It started slowly around 4.15 am. First one mosque, then others in the city joining in and calling its members to pray. It gradually got louder. The call to prayer with modern amplification felt at times like it was 5.1 surround sound, both outside my hotel window and in the far distant with sound coming in from the four corners of the hotel. In some ways it sounded like an orchestra with no ...

Joe Cole - football, vision, & me
A Other video by BeyondBenjamin - 430 views
Football fever is sweeping the nation ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™. ACUVUE® is an official sponsor of the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ and aims to raise awareness of the importance of vision and the benefits of contact lenses for football fans and sport enthusiasts. Ex-England superstar and ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lens wearer, Joe Cole, has required vision correction since the age of 20 and will be using his experience on the pitch to highlight the significance wearing lenses has had on his performance to sporting fans. Cole boasts an international career and is renowned for bringing technically gifted skills to the pitch yet unbeknown to his many fans, he has played in contact lenses for 12 years. Now opening up about his history of vision correction, Joe Cole is championing ACUVUE® as his brand of choice. Popular for having great eye and ball coordination skills, the ability to pick a pass whilst scoring those winning goals, the sporting star will be tackling some of the issues associated with vision correction and performance; specifically aiming to help debunk some of the myths with wearing contact lenses, especially among younger groups. A child prodigy at just 16, Cole is the perfect role model for sporting teens. Cole comments on his experience playing in contact lenses, "As a midfielder your peripheral vision is massively important. Wearing contact lenses really opened up the pitch for me, improving my ability to spot passes, see runs from team mates and identify tactical opportunities with my passes. What is more, my ACUVUE® contact lenses have not only improved my confidence on the pitch, but off the pitch too."

We are just about a week away from the Call of Duty: Championship qualifiers for South Africa. The winner will see themselves with a chance of a life time; to compete in the United States against some of the best players from across the world for $1 million in prize money. Today we will be taking a look at some of the teams that will be participating in the South African qualifiers.
South Africa's Call of Duty competitive console community has come a long way in a short period of time, where the growth of the teams and players has been increasing steadily over the past 3 years. This has been thanks to a shift is a mindset of the local players which was the result of the teams adopting a new competitive ruleset that fell into the parameters of the international competitive structure. As time has progressed we have seen teams grow in strength, players increase in numbers and spectators grow considerably. Last year was one of the biggest moments for our humbly growing community, as we saw ourselves with the opportunity to partake in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Championships. The team, Xtaz Gaming, cemented themselves in history as being the first team from South Africa to partake in an international event for competitive console Call of Duty.
Now South Africa is standing at the brink of a truly monumental occasion as one of our teams will be once again sent over to the United States, to try prove to the world that we can too stand a chance at competing against some of the best players from across the world.
Some of the teams below will now stand with that opportunity at their feet, so without further delay lets jump into the teams competing for the South African Call of Duty: Championship qualifiers.
Favorite Game Mode: Blitz
Synopsis: The current squad of players from Team Adept have been playing Call of Duty together since June 2013. Since then they have managed to close out thier Black Ops 2 season by picking up the last 8 online and LAN tournaments in a row. They managed to kick start their Ghosts season in the same vein by winning MWEB's Incredible Connection First Recon online Tournament as well as the Afrihost Invitational LAN in Johannesburg.
Team Adept have proven themselves to be the team to beat in South Africa at the moment, they have moved from one success to the next and are going in as favorites for the qualification for the 2014 Call of Duty: Championship
"Our squad has been working towards CoD Champs 2014 for the past 4 months. Our chances are very good but anything can happen on the day." -Adept Glenn (Manager of the Adept Team)

Favorite Game Mode: Search and Destroy
Synopsis: Vinco Yellow's squad has raw talent and is lead by their team captain, the very experienced Swarley, whom made it into the final four in last years qualifiers. In the qualifiers they narrowly missed out as they were knocked out by Team Xtaz, the team that eventually qualified for the Call of Duty: Championship in 2013. In recent weeks Vinco Yellow have acquired the services of Xtaz EOS to help on the coaching side and also to mentally prepare the team. Xtaz EOS was part of the squad that went over last year to participate in the Call of Duty: Championship and his experience might just prove itself to be invaluable to the teams success. Due to a late roster change, Vinco Yellow have now acquired the services of Insane Tanker as a fourth for qualifiers, a player that has proven to be one of the most talented and underrated players and leaders in COD in SA.

High 5 Gaming
Synopsis: High 5 is the oldest competitive console clan in South Africa, being established all the way back in April 2007. Within the past two years the competitive team has taken a slight back seat with Holden focusing on the growth of competitive Call of Duty in South Africa. The clan believes that the time has now come to reassert their dominance by going back to their roots and reminding everybody why High 5 should be a clan to fear and respect. . With a stellar line up of players, it will be up to the squad to gel on the day, because when these boys are firing on all cylinders they are near unstoppable.
"What we have here in this team is potential bottled up, this team can compete against the best and come out on top! "

Synopsis: Grizzly Gaming is a relatively new team that was created at the beginning of the Call of Duty: Ghosts season. The team understands that they are still in the early phases of competitive but are turning some heads with their strong assault rifle gameplay and good spawn knowledge. This squad definitely want to cause an upset and is looking to do so. If there were ever a wildcard team, then it would be Grizzly Gaming.

We have nothing to lose in the upcoming qualifications but be assured you will be in for a ride if you underestimate us! - Coach Yankovsky
Follow Sector 17: Twitter | Youtube
Synopsis: Team Agency is comprised of players that are out to prove a point, and they have managed to do so in recent months. This was done when the team managed to show that on LAN they are not to be a teamed to be reckoned with as they managed to give High 5 a run for their money and even knocked Vnco Yellow to the losers bracket. In team Agency you will find a squad for of fun yet dangerously competitive players, these boys should be able to do some heavy damage in the qualifiers if they manage to perform on the night.
"We are a newly formed team and I am proud to play with these bunch of guys competitively." -
Agent Tbad

Synopsis: Vinco Black is the team that many of the big teams are worried about. It is all about how this squad feels on the day as they have one of the best line ups in South Africa. With VnCo Oreo having insane reaction skills, Fbi23 and Zela being extremely clutch in SnD as well as Zela being really good Blitz player. The Vinco Black squad manage to show exactly how dangerous they were on lan and now are ready to translate that to the online platform. If these boys are on from for the night, they will not be taken down easily.
"We should yolo half the time" - Vinco FBi

Owen, in a heartfelt, award-caliber performance, never goes soft. It's his core of toughness that makes the movie so funny, touching and vital. show more
Owen is a magnetic, sensitive presence at the center of a movie that doesn't deserve him and that barely deserves to be seen. show more
In less capable hands, the movie could have been maudlin. Instead, Hicks and Owen have created an intimate drama told with humor and emotion. show more

I thought this movie was worthwhile on several fronts; it made an insightful commentary on several aspects of modern society and its complicated relationships and problems, so much less common 40 years ago. It also demonstrated some very real human frailties and in the course of the story line showed how much adults and children alike have changed in that time. The scene in which a hoard of teenagers invade the house for a party and then ******** is all too true. All of the characters were convincing, the plot believable and the visuals of the movie\'s setting in rural and coastal South Australia truly evocative. I felt absorbed and involved to the last scene and came away satisfied, knowing the movie was one I would remember.

This film is brilliant! A moving and touching display of life, love, sadness, and joy. This was one of the most heartwarming films I've seen in awhile. Even if you're not into these types of films, I'd say, go for it and watch it.

Great movie! Dealing with the two boys and trying to live a life must have been a great challenge for him. Clive Own is a very insightful actor and truly brings out the best in this role. The young boys played their parts with a real sense of being actual kids. Superb acting by everyone. Would go to see it again.
