The old adage that one should never mix business with pleasure is rather tired, and should not be taken as gospel. Running a business with friends — including retail businesses — has as much chance of being a revelation as it does a disaster.
The first key to making it work is ensuring that, as with any other business decision, you enter into the partnership with a clear head and agreed shared objectives.
The process of entering into business with a friend needn't be dissimilar to entering into it with a stranger. Someone will not necessarily be a good match for you as a business partner by virtue of being your friend, and you must be impartial and transparent when deciding whether it can work.
If you know you are not compatible as business partners then you must treat your friend and yourself with honesty. There are countless tales of friendships being forever tarnished by a business, and you don't want to find yourself in a position where you are faced with a choice between losing an important friendship and risking your business.
I have personal experience of this. In the past I brought a good friend of mine into a business of which I was chief executive. After a while, it became clear that he simply wasn't up to the job in hand and I had no option but to let him go. That was 17 years ago and we have never spoken since. While I regret losing him as a friend I know that it was the right decision for the business.
But while there are always risks, friends can be a reassuring presence in tumultuous times. I am currently in business with friends for the second time and know just how effective it can be.
Peter Ellis and I worked together at the Early Learning Centre successfully before selling the brand in 2004. Our next step was to go into business with another friend, Chris Ward, to found Christopher Ward watches.
Together, we launched Christopher Ward in 2004 as an online-only retail model – an approach that was innovative in the world of retail, particularly for the watch industry – but that still posed considerable risk. Making such decisions is easier when you have people you trust implicitly around you.
The secret to our success is that we all bring different skills to the business that complement each other.
CLICK HERE to read other comment pieces
Peter takes care of the financial side of the retail business, a role he also fulfilled at the Early Learning Centre, while Chris heads up sales and I concentrate on strategy and marketing. It all works very well.
You need to be able to quickly establish the direction you see yourselves and your company heading in. What is your five-year plan? Your 10-year plan? How are you getting there? If these are issues you don't agree before entering into business, the problems will only exacerbate as time goes on.
Next you must be clear on your roles. The best partnerships and the best friendships come about when two people complement each other's personality and skill-set. One of you may be better suited to the hands-on running of the business, another may be a good public face who enjoys the marketing side of the business. Know each other's strengths and play to them.
It also helps to have worked together previously. How you behave in a pressurised working environment does not necessarily correlate with how you behave in your leisure time. Having some idea of what awaits when you are working together will prepare you better.
Once you have entered business it is imperative that you are transparent and candid with each other. This is an area where working with friends has potentially huge benefits. You can be honest with each other in a way you would not be with a stranger, and you can bounce off each other's ideas. With concern

Volatility, measured by the VIX, is one of the few charts, next to that of Gold, that I write about objectively in the context of a resoundingly bullish formation.
The only good thing about the VIX selling off -5% so far today, is that today is going to end soon. Doubting the "Bear" is setting the VIX up to make higher lows and higher highs.
I have a near term price target of 26.12 for the VIX, and remain comfortable with my call that the 31-32 level is coming to a theatre near you this summer.

AstraZeneca and the BioVentureHub are collaborating with the Swedish Government to establish an exciting new innovation model.
The new model provides opportunities to breathe life into projects and innovations that established companies, for various reasons, have decided not to commercialise, but are considered to have great value. These innovations, in turn, and can provide the basis for new businesses, and subsequently, new jobs.
Magnus Björsne, CEO of AstraZeneca's BioVentureHub
"In a company like AstraZeneca, our whole business concept is based on creating value from innovation processes. We are proud to collaborate with the Swedish Government and Vinnova on this important project, and to be able to share our knowledge, experience and projects to build a model that contributes to better health and to strengthen Sweden's position in research, development and international competitiveness."

Sports injuries and chiropractic care
Sports injuries are frustrating because they can stop you from doing the things you really enjoy. People feel that they lose that competitive edge through no fault of their own.
Whatever your sport from tennis to football, golf to cycling and boxing to refereeing you can bet that the top exponents have used Chiropractors to get themselves back into shape. That goes for professional and weekend players alike.
Our experience with Sports injuries
We have had a number of patients tell us how their golf handicap has improved since being under chiropractic care and at our practice you will see a long list of professional athletes who have used chiropractic as the answer to their persistent injury problems.
The most frustrating thing about sports injuries is that they often re-occur – this is usually due to the fact that the cause of the problem has not been found and corrected.
To help find that cause of re-occurence of the injuries we offer:
- A Private Consultation with the Doctor of Chiropractic at our clinic in South Woodford
- A Thorough Examination including Neurological, Orthopaedic & Blood Pressure Tests all included
- X-Rays, if necessary are included too
- And most importantly Verbal Report of our Findings and thorough Explanation of the X-Rays at a follow up appointment
- Personalised recommendadtions will be given, which may include streching and exercise advice, plan of treatment and relevant postural and lifestyle recommendations.
After this you should know more about your body and the problems you are experiencing than you ever have before. Whether you go ahead with treatment as always is entirely your decision.

2014 has been a busy year for MSM. Some interesting changes in Wills and Estate law have kept us on our toes.
We have also been working on making our website more useful to our valued clients, including developing platforms to post news and helpful hints. Look out for out new improved site coming January 2015.
One big change was the introduction of the new Advance Care Directive (ACD) from 1 July 2014. These replace old form Medical Powers of Attorney and Enduring Powers of Guardianship from that date. But don't worry – if you already have one of the pre 2014 documents you don't need to change anything. Your existing documents are still valid. The new ACD is designed to be simple and DIY. Unfortunately, like many DIY projects, what you end up with may not be what you intended. Anyone who has tried to follow IKEA assembly instructions will know what I am talking about. These "simple" online forms are still legal documents. They are designed to transfer very serious rights and obligations to your decision maker. Done properly an ACD is a powerful tool for good. Done badly an ACD may be invalid or, perhaps worse, leave your family member or friend confused or without power to make the right decision for you. If in any doubt, we urge you to seek advice.
Some good news for clients dealing with the loss of a loved one. The Probate Registry has introduced a more streamlined administrative process which in most cases has improved the turnaround time for probate and other estate applications. Other recent changes to the law relating to "intestate estates" (those who die without a Will) have removed some outdated requirements which for many years have caused unnecessary complications for the Probate Registry and additional grief for clients.
There was ongoing discussion about South Australia establishing a central Will registry. No joy on this to date. Wills continue to be held by law firms or by individuals themselves. Lost Wills continue to be an issue. This can add significantly to the cost of dealing with an estate. We urge all our clients to either store their original Wills with us or to make sure they are stored somewhere else safe. In either case it is essential to let your family and/or your executors know that you have made a Will and where it is being kept.
Please contact us if you would like more information about any Wills or Estate matters.
We take this opportunity to wish you and your families a very happy Christmas season and a safe and successful 2015.
From all the team at MSM

Question 1:
For the final project, I created a press-fit constellations box powered by wireless inductive coils.
Initially, I intended for the box to be powered by a solar panel circuit. But along the way I ran into some revelations and restrictions that led me to replace the intended solar panel circuit for a wireless inductive coil circuit.
I used an online press-fit box generator to get the 5×5 box I envisioned and I imported an image of the sky into Inkscape to begin working on my design. I attempted to change the image to a vector image by tracing the bitmap but the vector image was choppy. Therefore, I opted to manually create each element of the image one at a time, from the stars to the lines of the constellations. I created the stars in the sky using the circle tool and the star tool in Inkscape. I used the pen tool to create the lines of the constellations. My main goal was to make sure the majority of the constellations would allow for light to pass through so that the constellations could be seen in the dark. For the lines of the constellations, I converted the stroke to a path, and removed the fill to give it a 0.001 inch outline, therefore creating a thicker line to be vectored.
This process took an insane amount of time because I wanted to really get the design right. I felt pretty comfortable on Inkscape, but there was still a lot of features in the program that were unknown to me so I was learning as I was designing. There was a lot of back in forth in designing.
Overall, I was really happy with how the box and design turned out.
Question 2:
My learning goals were to (1) challenge myself by learning and integrating wireless inductive coils into my design and the all the components needed to create the circuit because I was never really knowledgeable or comfortable with circuits before, and (2) to extensively plan out each of my steps before I started the project because I've found that I usually just throw myself into the assignments without thinking through all the factors and outcome.
For the first goal, I hoped to create a successful circuit that could power my constellation box. I was pretty much clueless on wireless inductive coils so I did a bit of research to find sources so that I could get a better grasp of all the components and functions. I read a few Instructables, blogs, and watched a few videos. I essentially followed the circuit diagram off of https://learn.adafruit.com/wireless-inductive-power-night-light?view=all and the circuit was successful. Before, I was a bit intimidated by circuits, but now I feel a lot more comfortable working with them.
As for the second goal, I really tried to hold myself to the goal. I created a step-by-step list for myself so that I could try to plan out all the components I would need beforehand. I found it helpful in the beginning but realized as I really started getting to work on the project, a lot of factors were shifting and at a certain point my step-by-step list kind of fell apart. But I still believe writing out the steps of a project is really helpful. It got me to really think about the logistics and design of the box in respect to the circuit as a cohesive piece, rather than the two as separate projects that needed to somehow come together in the end.
Question 3:
I've learned a lot in this project and the course. Often times, I got really frustrated when something would go wrong in an assignment. I would end up spending more time than I anticipated in order to fix the issue or coming up with an alternative. I treated arising issues as a barrier rather than an inevitable part of the process. I've always considered myself a good problem-solver, but I was never very comfortable when I ran into one. I think now, I have a much better approach to problems. I'm less emotional about them and more productive. I tackle the issues head-on.
Question(s) 4:
As an advertising major, I always saw myself as a strategist. To be fair, I'm not sure where I'll end up but I've always been drawn to the duality of the profession. Analytic and Creative. This course allowed for me to experience with different mediums (almost all that were new to me) and I think it sparked the creative side of myself. I would consider myself a maker. To me, a maker is anyone who devotes their time and their craft to create something. Making is collaborative, challenging, rewarding and unlimited.

|Fast moving light.
This was on a crisp night, what I mean by that is there was no clouds in the sky. I was headed north after picking up my son from daycare. As I was coming to a stop light at the intersection I noticed out of my upper peripheral suddle movement. Nothing side to side or eratic just moving forward at a speed like a plane would heading in the same direction.
When I came to a complete stop the light was blocked by the roof of my car along with the stars. My upper peripheral catches movement again as the light moves from out of the blockage of the roof and I look up. At this point my eyes are locked onto this light, no more peripheral. You can see movement out the side of your eye and it could be anything but when I locked eyes on the object I saw it was too high to make out a shape with no blinking lights of a plane but low enough to know it wasn't a star, and it was moving. Any sound that the object might of had was block out by music.
After maybe 3 seconds of looking at the light I seen it cut real hard and fast at an angle away from earth. The best way I can describe how it took off is Star Trek warp speed. It went out in space and the only thing that was missing was the blink of light at the end.

Very impressed. Early, professional and reasonably priced.
I used this company today for help with wiring for my pool pump and circuit breaker box. Frank was on time and was very knowledgeable. He charged a fair rate and I would use him again in the future.
I've been using CJ Electrical Services for years. The owner, Frank, is not only knowledgeable, but extremely professional. His honesty is what sets him apart from other electricians. No matter how big the job, he is always quick to call me back and get the work done! I highly recommend this company!
I recently moved into a new home that had a lot of electrical problems. CJ Electrical was recommended to me by a friend. The owner walked me through what would need to be done to fix everything with patience and without trying to upsell me on anything. Great work and will use in the future
I've had CJ Electrical Services out to my home many times and Frank has always done great work. From my service change, ceiling fans, changing out outlets to a timer switch for my lights outside, Frank did and outstanding job with everything. I highly recommend CJ Electrical for all your electrical needs, prices are very reasonable.
Frank was very professional. I am in love with my landscape lights. Thank you for you opinion. I am calling him back for more work. Came in a timely fashion.
The prices are very reasonable. Frank The Electrician worked with my schedule to accommodate me. Came very quickly. Work was impeccable. Would recommend if you need a superior electrician
The only Electrician you'll ever need!
I contacted CJ (Frank) electricians because my electrical problem was severe. 70% of the lighting and sockets in my house did not work and I was certainly worried about a fire. And living in the dark was not fun. Frank was an extremely kind typical family kind of man and boy did he know what he was doing. I thought this was going to be a ridiculously expensive long job. He finished everything in a day! And his prices were amazing compared to every other company I contacted. He was so good I asked him if he would come back to switch out some Light fixtures which he did beautifully. His work is incredible his prices are great. Even referred him to my neighbor and she is also getting work done with Them. Do yourself a favor and look no further. You will be very happy that you did.
Honest guy and good work
I needed some outlets and switches replaced as well as a few other things done in my house. I surfed the net to see if I could find an electrician that was honest and did good work and stuck to housing code cause I'm a bit overly worried about saftey because I have 4 kids. I seen CJ (Frank) website and figured is give him a call. Well right from the first call I knew he was a decent family kinda guy and not just some big buck contractor. He said he would give me a free estimate the next morning and we could go from there , no strings attached. So I figured why not. He came out looked at everything I asked then he did a free look over cause I told him I am paranoid about fire and really a safety nut. He found a few other things that needed attention and gave me an estimate that I really was surprised about. I thought it was gonna be much more but he said it was easy work and the material I needed was not very expensive. The next day he came out and was done the job a bit later then he estimated but everything was done right. No dirt tracked into my house. Noting broken nothing stolen etc. When came time to pay he said there were a few switches that did not need to be replaced (cause I'm broke and asked him to try and save me as much money as possible without sacrificing saftey) and he deducted the cost of material and labor off the final bill for those switches. Wasn't much but just showed he did what I asked him to do and is honest. Its hard to find a contractor who listens and doesn't just spend your money the way they want to. And he didn't charge me extra for the little bit longer he was there. Thanks Frank ! And I will pass the word along that your highly recommend in my book.
High Quality Service Professional and friendly
i had Cj Electrical services come out and do electrical work at my house. We had landscape lighting installed. Frank did a wonderful job. The prices were great and he worked with my due to my hectic work schedule. I would absolutely recommend him to anybody.

You may have seen the award winning movie "Argo," which tells the story of the US diplomats rescued from Tehran, Iran. For Major M., a deputy commander in the IDF Intelligence Corps, watching the film struck particularly close to home.
M. was born in one of the Jewish neighborhoods in Tehran, and currently serves as a Major in the IDF. Between these two periods lies an incredible life story: a difficult childhood in post-Islamic Revolution Iran, a difficult and intense journey to Israel and a successful military career. Thanks to his connection to the Iranian culture and language, M. has has pioneered the use of Persian in the IDF Intelligence Corps.
Jewish in Iran
M.'s story begins in a Jewish neighborhood in Tehran. He was the youngest child of four siblings, and his father was one of the leaders of the Jewish community. When he was two years old, the Islamic revolution took place in Iran. "Because of the revolution, the fear of the upcoming war with Iraq and the possibility of being recruited, my brother decided to move to Israel," he says. "My whole family went to visit him there. We said our goodbyes and went back to Iran."
The turning point for M. was at school. He studied in a Jewish school that was supervised by Muslim inspectors. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's famous quote, "Israel should be wiped off the map" was sprayed on his school wall. It bothered M. so much that one night he decided to scrape the quote off the wall. The next day, the principal beat him in front of the whole school as punishment for his "anti-Islamic" act. That was the last straw, and M. and his family realized that their lives could not go on in Iran. They decided to move to Israel, but this was harder than it seemed.
During that time, Jewish families could not leave Iran all together, even on vacation. Someone would have to stay behind–so M's father remained in Tehran. The situation became like a scene from the movie "Argo"–M's family members arrived at the airport separately in order to avoid suspicion. They couldn't fly directly to Israel, so they had to stop in a different country on the way. "We didn't feel safe the whole flight. We were able to calm down only after the plane landed," M. says. From the airport, the family went directly to the Israeli embassy, and after two stressful weeks they finally boarded a plane to Israel.
Meanwhile, M's father was still in Tehran, and being an important part of the Jewish community, he was able to help many Jews escape from Iran. For the course of a whole year, M's father tried escaping himself. He even forged a passport with a fake name but was turned in and arrested. "They beat him up, and he only managed to get away by bribing them… He was very lucky," M. says.
After this unfortanate experience, M's father escaped to a neighboring country with a group of Bedouin traders, and after weeks of walking through the desert, camel riding, hiding in the back of vans and a series of flights, he finally made it to Israel.
The Persian Language in the IDF
Eventually, M. was recruited to the IDF and his first job was to translate intelligence material from Persian (the official language of Iran) into Hebrew. After a few years he became an officer, and for the past 15 years he has been a commander in departmants relevant to his skills.
In 2004, M. began conducting Persian language training in the IDF Intelligence Corps. Around that time, the importance of Persian intelligence was increasing, while the amount of soldiers who knew Persian was decreasing. Using his knowledge of the Persian language and culture, M. developed a six month training course that would teach 18-year-old soldiers who didn't know a single word in Persian everything they needed to know. "It was revolutionary. There was no longer a limit of soldiers who knew Persian. We could train 10 soldiers or 100, or even more according to our needs."
M. continued to command in other intelligence courses, until he finally became a commander in the course that he had created. "As someone who was born in Iran and immigrated to Israel, I feel great pride in training other officers who work to understand Iran," M. says.
Major M. has one big dream for the future: "to someday be [Israel's] military attache in Tehran."

The sparsely populated Pilbara Region of Western Australia is often overlooked by travellers who prefer the coastal attractions of the neighbouring Kimberly and Gasgoyne Regions. We have been guilty on previous trips of driving past the Pilbara but on this occasion we were lured in by the beauty of Karijini and stayed to enjoy the rugged beauty and the incredible riches of this amazing region.
Karijini has been the subject of a previous blog, that can be found here.
Our original plan was to leave Karijini and head South-west to Exmouth but school holiday crowds and cooler temperatures made it an easy decision to linger a little longer in the Pilbara and so we made for Newman. On arriving at the Whaleback Caravan Park we found a tidy little mining camp run by BHP. Accommodation for the miners is motel style with a dining room and recreational facilities. Campers are welcomed with green grass, shade, fabulous facilities and best of all washing machines and dryers at no extra cost. We spent a couple of days enjoying Newman, checking out the mining artifacts and marveling at the lengths taken to make the town feel welcoming.

Leaving Newman we travelled in a northerly direction on the Marble Bar Road, part bitumen and part reasonable dirt road. Our journey was interrupted at one of the numerous train crossings and we guessed we were going to be held up here for a while when the guy in the mining vehicle behind up got out his car lit up a cigarette and proceeded to make a phone call. Further up the road we came alongside the Roy Hill Mine located in the Chichester Range and owned by Gina Rhinehart's, Hancock Prospecting. The mine is expected to produce 55 million tonnes of iron ore a year and with an expected life span of 20 years, is set to become one of the largest mining projects ever in Australia. Even from the road it is difficult not to be amazed at the size and scale of the operation.
Roy Hill Mine
Besides mining, cattle is the other big industry in the Pilbara and we were fortunate to be invited to stay at a private water hole on Bonnie Downs Station. The station, which covers 3 million square acres, is one of three in the area owned by Peter and Matt Goyder. The Goyder's have been very successful in improving their cattle with Santa Gertrudis and Droughtmaster being the basis of the herd. The cattle, even to our untrained eye, looked to be in excellent condition.
Just one days Muster in a process that will take months
At the time we arrived the annual muster was in full swing and would be for some months to come. Matt Goyder is an experienced Helicopter Pilot so he, along with a muster team from New South Wales was managing the muster with assistance from CA Helicopters. The estimate for this year is that 11,000 head of cattle will be mustered. Some will be live exported to China while others will sell on the domestic market.
Keen to get an up close look at the muster but not wanting to be in the way we accepted the invitation to tag along. Peter led us the 30 kilometres from the Homestead to the Muster site and then we followed for awhile marveling at the skill of the four helicopters who were spotting and moving cattle out from under and around trees until the ground team on ATV's, in bush basher 4 wheel drives and on motor bikes could direct the stragglers to the mob and the mob toward the cattle yards.
Helicopters direct the cattle toward the yards
On the ground, bush bashers, ATV's and Bikes keep the herd together and moving.
The invitation to jump aboard one of the 4 helicopters was a surprise and one eagerly accepted by a pair of frothing (excited) photographers. We spent an exhilarating 15 minutes seeing the muster from the air and it was something we will not forget. At the end of the day the herd were secured in Cattle Yards ready to be trucked to the main homestead yards to be sorted into sale lines.
Before leaving Bonnie Downs we spent a fabulous day just sitting beside the water hole totally enjoying the wildlife coming in to drink as well as one very domesticated, very large bull who had Fran a little on edge. It is truly beautiful country.
Our camp at Bonnie Downs
The drive from Bonnie Downs to Port Hedland was through hard red country clothed in spinnifex like a life sized dot painting. The road took us through gorges and gaps that were truly beautiful and we would have liked to stay longer to explore but the lack of safe roadside parking and the presence of the many mining and cattle trucks had us moving on. Marble Bar, the hottest town in Australia, clearly would have been somewhere to use as a base for further exploration of the area but an engine warning light after a flat battery had us making a beeline for Port Hedland (quite unnecessarily fortunately).
Port Hedland combined with South Hedland has a population of around 16,000 and coming into it just seems crazy; its big, its loud and its very VERY busy. The entire place revolves around shipping out the resources from the mines in the region. Iron Ore is the largest export but there is also Copper Concentrate, Manganese, Salt (going to China for steel making or Japan to melt snow!!), Lithium and a large pile of scrap metal that will go to India to be recycled.
Busy Port Hedland
Bazz watches from the shore as a ship is brought into Port by 4 Tugs
From the shore it is hard to get a feel for the size and magnitude of the Port so we booked a Port Tour with the Port Hedland Seafarers Group. The Seafarers are a group of volunteers who look after the Ships Crews while they are in Port, they ferry them ashore, take them shopping, and lend an ear to any who need it.
Crew wait at the bottom of the gangplank to indicate they want to be ferried ashore
So a few statistics. There are currently 19 Berths in the Port, owned by BHP, Gina Rinehart, Fortescue and the Headland Port Authority, which has a few berths for minor companies and the occasional Cruise Ship. The average size of ships coming into Port is around 300 meters. At any given time there will be around 30 vessels in the anchorage (30 nautical miles offshore) waiting to come into Port. They can wait for months if they are to load a particular grade of ore depending on availability. Once they are in Port it only takes about 24 hours to load and they are gone again. The Pilot is ferried out to the boats by helicopter and four tugs bring each vessel into Port. There is an average of 22 crew, most are Philippine and they are paid between $200 and $600 per month depending on experience. Crews usually sign on to 9-month contracts and many of the boats just travel between Port Hedland and China. Only about 1% of crew are women. Nothing in this blog can truly explain the size and scope of the Port so if you are in Port Hedland – do the tour – it will blow your mind.
Ships come and go every hour or so in Australia's busiest Port
Talking to someone who was formerly a Port Lincoln resident but who now lives and works in Hedland he assured us the mining boom was most certainly not over. It seems like a few years ago the mining companies employed a lot more staff but then they had a clean out, got rid of some "dead wood" and now manage to export more resources with less staff.
Salt mined at Port Hedland and destined for China (steel making) and Japan (to melt snow)
In total contrast to Port Hedland our next stop in the Pilbara was at 80 Mile Beach. About half way between Port Hedland and Broome this is a caravan park behind a sandhill on a massive (140 kilometre) beach. The park is very tidy and at this time of the year very busy. We estimate around 300 camp-sites in the park and it has been mostly full for the four days we stayed. At this time of the year it's all about fishing. Fishing revolves around the tides because at low tide the shoreline is so far out it can barely be seen but as the tide comes in fishers line the shore for miles all angling for Threadfin Salmon. In the back rows are the "long termers" some of whom spend months here each year. Those who don't fish wander up and down the seemingly endless beach enjoying stretching the legs while looking for shells that are in absolute abundance.
Cleaning the catch at the end of the day
A short walk along 80 Mile Beach will result in a treasure trove of shells
In the summer months turtles come ashore to nest but at this time of year it is the Pied Oyster Catchers who vy for space on the beach to nest and raise their chicks.
Pied Oyster Catchers nest high on the beach running the gauntlet of cars. Some beach goers mark the nest to warn drivers to stay clear.
The Park Store caters for basic supplies and huge amounts of bait. They also run a weekly market where second hand books are sold to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service and various enterprising individuals sell fishing tackle and handicrafts.
At sunset the beach fills with people coming to watch the sun sink over the horizon while families play on the wet sand or enjoy a sundowner on the dunes. Within an hour or two after sunset the park lulls into it's almost silent night mode and the spectacular night sky and waning moon allow for great photography and perhaps, if required, time to reflect on life.

by Myrna Velasco – June 2, 2016
from Manila Bulletin
Customers of Manila Electric Company (Meralco) will not be as jittery this June, as the generation charge component in their bills is expected to be 'relatively flat.'
According to Meralco spokesperson Joe Zadarriaga, the stability in prices for this billing month could be driven both by 'soft prices' in
the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM) and lower gas prices.
"Generation charge for June is expected to be flat. Factors likely to drive the final figure are the lower average WESM prices and indications of lower natural gas price for the May supply month," he expounded.
Zaldarriaga has qualified though that they are still waiting for the actual bills from their various power suppliers.
He added that "higher dispatch of many large power plants" will also help tame prices within this billing month.
The generation charge component in electricity rates accounts for the biggest percentage – hovering at 65-percent to 70-percent of the total billed rate on a per-kilowatt hour (kWh) basis.
For this year, the summer months passed without hitting much on the consumers' pockets because even in the months of scorching weather, the power rates have been on downtrend.
And with the rainy season already kicking off, rates are expected not to be as volatile compared to summer months when consumption is typically on uptick.
Power plants are anticipated to be on maintenance shutdown on the coming months, but higher hydro availability could help offset some capacities taken out from the system.
Many power plant owners and operators opted to defer the scheduled downtime of their generating facilities because of the election season last May.

Growing Herbs in the Winter
by Karen Weiland, Advanced Master Gardener
Even when our gardens are enjoying a winter nap beneath a blanket of snow, we can still enjoy the taste of fresh herbs right from our own kitchen.
Herbs are plants that are used whole or in part for their flavor. Cooking with herbs has taken on new importance with our awareness of reducing salt and fat in our diets. Their use can be traced back to ancient times. Some of their many other uses include health, fragrance, natural dyes, ornaments and to make industrial or pharmaceutical products.
Many herbs like dill, parsley, mint, oregano, chives and thyme are adaptable to growing indoors in a sunny window. Some of these herbs can grow to be quite tall in the garden but they will be much smaller when grown indoors where their root systems are contained in small pots.
Cuttings can be taken from your outdoor plants such as basil, oregano, lavender, sage and mint before they die back for the winter. But many herbs can be grown from seed such as dill, parsley, thyme, chives, basil and cilantro.
Adequate drainage and a good quality potting soil mix will ensure good root development. If your potting soil mix does not include fertilizer, add slow release pellets to your mix or use a water-soluble fertilizer after planting. Seeds need a light and airy potting medium to get a good start. Do not use garden soil as it is generally too heavy for use in potted plants and can carry diseases and insects that can prove to be too much of a challenge for young sprouts. It helps to sprinkle about half an inch to an inch of seed starting medium on top of the potting soil to give young seedlings an easy start.
A warm, bright spot away from direct sunlight is best for starting your seeds. Once they have germinated, move them to more direct light. Herb plants produce oils that are responsible for their particular flavors. The greatest amount of oil is produced under sunny condition, so you will want to provide your windowsill herbs with as much light as you can. Artificial lights can work well to supplement natural light. Light bulbs and/or tubes that are labeled specifically for growing plants will emit the best quality light needed for plant growth.
Once your plants are up and growing, some fertilizing will be helpful, but do not over do it. Always follow label directions on whatever houseplant fertilizer you use. When you water your plant, provide enough water so it runs out the drainage hole in the bottom of your pot. Allow the pot to dry a little before watering next time.
For convenience, group herbs with similar soil and moisture needs in the same pot. You may also like to have a themed pot, such as a salsa garden or one with varying textures and colors.
Keeping herbs in pots outdoors during the summer will reduce the shock of transplant once you bring it indoors for the winter.
I like to use a few sprigs of my curly parsley combined with a maraschino cherry (to imitate holly leaves and berries) sitting on top of a mound of whipped cream ( snow) to decorate holiday desserts. You also cannot beat fresh oregano and basil in dishes like lasagna with some mustard-chive butter laden bread on the side. The recipe for the butter is – ½ cup butter, softened, 1 ½ tablespoon chives, finely chopped and ½ teaspoon dry mustard. Mix well and store in the refrigerator.
As always, Happy Gardening!

IGas, Britain's largest shale gas developer, has signed a £30 million ($45.2m) gas deal with Switzerland's Ineos in a tie-up meant to expand IGas's exploration efforts.
The deal will give Ineos access to sites beyond the ones it currently operates in Scotland, BBC reported.
Ineos has also pledged an additional £138 million to help IGas expand its shale gas operations in the North West and East Midlands regions in England.
Shares in IGas surged by more than 20% on news of the agreement.
Investors had worried about the strength of the firm, as the price of oil fell by more than half over the past year.
The deal also gives IGas another major partner. The UK onshore oil producer is already working with Total of France and GDF Suez.
"Alongside the commitment from our existing partners, Ineos's commitment of upfront cash and considerable capital investment will help fund us through the next steps of our shale appraisal and production program," said Andrew Austin, chief executive of IGas, in a statement.
Scotland Stake
Last year, Ineos said it planned to invest $1 billion (£663 million) in British shale gas exploration, in an effort to emulate the shale boom that has led to cheap oil prices in the US.
Ineos - which is privately owned - said that as part of this latest deal, it will acquire IGas's stake in the shale licence around the Grangemouth petrochemical plant, which will give the Swiss firm full ownership of the site.
Ineos wants to become the biggest shale gas player in Britain. It could achieve that accolade soon.
On top of this deal it has also applied for more blocks as part of the ongoing 14th onshore licensing round. And to overcome objections to fracking it's offering local communities 6% of the revenues from the shale gas it produces.
In a statement, Gary Haywood, the chief executive of Ineos Upstream, said: "This is a further significant step for Ineos in its plan to become the biggest player in the UK shale gas industry. "We believe shale gas could revolutionize UK manufacturing and Ineos has the resources to make it happen, the skills to extract the gas safely, and the vision to realise that everyone must share in the rewards for UK shale gas to be successfully developed."
The plan to develop the Grangemouth site, however, is complicated by Scotland's current moratorium on fracking - the method Ineos would use to extract oil from the site.
Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, involves pumping a mixture of water and chemicals into shale rock at high pressure to extract gas and oil.
Environmental campaigners claim the process encourages reliance on fossil fuels instead of promoting investment in renewable energy sources.
Proponents of the process say it unlocks huge deposits of oil and natural gas, increases a country's energy security and boosts the economies of the areas in which it takes place.

Water Harvesting for Supplemental Irrigation
Where groundwater or surface water is not available for supplemental irrigation, water harvesting can be used to provide the required amounts during the rainy season. The system includes surface or subsurface storage facilities ranging from an on-farm pond or tank to a small dam constructed across the flow of a wadi with an ephemeral stream. It is highly recommended when interseasonal rainfall distribution and/or variability are so high that crop water requirements cannot be reasonably met. In this case, the collected runoff is stored for later use as supplemental irrigation (Oweis et al. 1999). Important factors include storage capacity, location, and safety of storage structures. Two major problems associated with storing water for agriculture are evaporation and seepage losses. Following are management options proven to be feasible in this regard (Oweis and Taimeh 2001):
- 1. Harvested water should be transferred from the reservoir to be stored in the soil as soon as possible after collection. Storing water in the soil profile for direct use by crops in the cooler season saves substantial evaporation losses that normally occur during the high evaporative demand period. Extending the use of the collected water to the hot season reduces its productivity because of higher evaporation and seepage losses.
- 2. Emptying the reservoir early in the winter provides more capacity for following runoff events. Large areas can be cultivated with reasonable risk.
- 3. Spillways with sufficient capacity are vital for small earth dams constructed across the stream.

Review: Abu Dhabi Classics returns with an evocative performance by the Symphony Orchestra of India
A new season of Abu Dhabi Classics got off to a winning start on Wednesday (October 7), with a UAE premiere from the Symphony Orchestra of India.
It may be an ensemble which did not exist a decade ago, but this prestigious opening night performance at Emirates Palace is proof of how far and fast the institution has come – the musicians did not disappoint.
Symbolically, conductor Zane Dalal dedicated a piece to the UAE's fallen martyrs, the Intermezzo from Elgar's The Crown of India. Closing the first half of the programme, guest violist Marat Bisengaliev – who conducts the orchestra tonight (Thursday October 8) in Al Ain – offered a sombre interpretation, that rich vibrato cut to the short piece's poignant core.
"When orchestras travel they bring with them an emotional machine," Dalal told the audience during his dedication.
"It's right and beautiful that they should be connected with the country that they are visiting."
The 2015/16 programme features no less than four complete Beethoven symphonies, and fittingly things began tonight with the Fourth. Sandwiched between the might and drama of the progressive Third and the iconic Fifth – both incidentally to be performed by the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra in March – Symphony Number 4 offers an open door to fresh ears.
After the opening minutes of brooding, tentative footsteps, placed to wrong-foot the listener, the triumphant Allegro theme emerges. The mood of optimism doesn't let up until the uncharacteristically subdued finale, a half-hour later. In the middle sits the beautiful waltz-time second movement, a shimmering passage of pastoral content. Leading the 70-piece orchestra, Dalal offered theatrical direction, mopping the sweat from his brow between movements.
Earlier in the evening the jovial tone was set with the countryside cantor of Glinka's Mikhail and Ludmila Overture. The orchestra seemed most assured with their wistful reading of Karl Goldmark's Sakuntala Overture, marked by sweeping big-hearted melodies and simple, uncluttered harmonies. Thematically cohesive, the Hungarian composer took his inspiration from the work of classical sanskrit Indian playwright Kālidāsa.
The performance marked the first of many coming nods to India's vast cultural canon. On Monday and Wednesday, October 12 and 14, the Classics continue with a tribute to the work of Rabindranath Tagore, performed by poet Gulzar and musician Ajoy Chakrabarty. Meanwhile on Tuesday October 13, Aditi Mangaldas & Troupe present a programme of traditional khatak dance past and present.

Canning Town man acquitted of manslaughter of Romanian living in Barking
PUBLISHED: 12:00 09 January 2019
A man from Canning Town has been acquitted of manslaughter of a man from Barking.
Razvan Vladescu, 27, and his brother, Araman-Nardi Stoica, 25, of no fixed abode, were found guilty of the murder of Sandel Serbu, 36, at the Old Bailey on Monday.
Florin Ivan, 30, of Bowman Avenue, Canning Town, was found not guilty of manslaughter and Bogdan Cucu, 25, was found not guilty of murder and manslaughter.
Ionut Vasile, 28, of South Park Road, Ilford, was convicted of manslaughter.
Sandel Serbu - originally from Romania but who lived in Barking – died in hospital on November 12, 2017 from injuries sustained in a brutal attack hours earlier.
He'd been beaten to death with garden shears and pickaxe handles in Ilford town centre.
Sandel had been socialising with friends before going to a nightclub in High Road, Ilford. He spoke to a man outside the club before a group of other men came over. He decided to go home, via a shop in the High Road. Upon visiting the shop, Sandel was approached by a group of men armed with garden shears and pickaxe handles.
Sandel had been watched by the group and attacked when he was seen as vulnerable. The court heard that a possible motive for the attack was a fight from two months earlier.
Vladescu, Stoica and Vasile will be sentenced on February 15 at the Old Bailey.

Hockey: Luke Busuttil Leaver is appointed International Outdoor UmpireTuesday, February 16, 2016, 19:57
Gavin Muscat
The Hockey Association Malta is pleased to announce that Luke Busuttil Leaver has been appointed an International Outdoor Umpire by the Federation International Hockey (FIH) after his outstanding performance as the National Umpire in the European Nations Challenge IV in Vilnius, Lithuania. Luke has been umpiring hockey at international level for a number of years now, obtaining experience at various European Club Championships both in Malta and abroad, but this was the first time he umpired at Nations level. However, it will certainly not be his last because as a result of his new grading, he has already been appointed to whistle as a neutral umpire at the Outdoor Mens Under 18 Eurohockey Nations Championship II in Glasgow, Scotland in July 2016. Luke Busuttil Leaver has also been very active in the local umpiring sector, controlling various key matches in the National League and the finals of the Knock Out competition.

Star wars not the movie
Seen star wars movie but this is the real space war which is potentially risky.
The US, China and Russia have been building on this for decades including 60 other nations.
With the recent news reports on Hillary Clinton email leaks through wiki leaks revealed that a space war was discussed and also against UFOs by one of her close allies.
The space war could be triggered if any of these countries were ready to hit anyone's satellite orbiting the space it's as simple as that. The satellite orbiting the space for it's country are used to send feedbacks on what is going on in the world and could any time be deployed for military use in the event of the satellites came into conflict.

Thousands of bodies are buried here in a mass grave dug after a magnitude 7 earthquake shook the country on Jan. 12, 2010. "They've forgotten about this place; it should look better than this," Dasny says as she walks past the overgrown grass, rusted metal statues and brittle brush. For the past year, she has been the memorial's groundskeeper, though she has never been paid.

Misty May-Treanor's Story
You may remember Misty May-Treanor as a 3-time Volleyball Gold Medal Winner! Now retired from playing volleyball professionally, Misty is a mother of three who still loves to workout, get outdoors and share her passion for her sport as a volleyball coach.
Why Misty Came to Vein Clinics of America
Misty was struggling with the same vein issues that left her wearing pants all the time to hide the unsightly veins that were on her legs.
"As an athlete, I really have to be more in tune with my body. But if you asked me about how in-tune I was with my veins, it would probably be a negative. We rely on our legs, and if the venous return isn't happening, it's important to get in and try to see what is taking place."
Misty's Treatment
"I flew out to Chicago and tried one of the treatments [at Vein Clinics of America], and I thought it was awesome. It got rid of one of my spider veins, and we talked about hitting some other areas."
"I was very surprised because you would think it would be more invasive than it is, but by them explaining it to me, it was so much better."
After Treatment*
Misty is excited to be the spokeswoman for Vein Clinics of America and, as an actual patient, loves to share her story with others. Misty is most excited about "Getting people on the page that they should be more in tune with their bodies. If you're feeling sluggish and it happens time and time again, don't take that as 'Oh maybe I worked out too much.' There is some issue possibly going on, so get it checked out. If you have itchy legs, don't let those things fall by the wayside. If you detect it early enough, you're better off. There are solutions."
*Results may vary.

Taking Buy Local Global
Next Monday the Ord Area Chamber will be submitting a $25,000 Joint Opportunities Building Success Grant through the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka. This grant opportunity has been made available to our area for many years (nearly a decade now!) by First National Bank of Ord. Their willingness to work with both economic development and the Chamber has brought many new resources to our communities that have produced many measurable, positive results. For that we owe FNB a major THANK YOU.
We have been fortunate enough to win this award for five years straight, we're hoping this next attempt will bring a huge opportunity to our communities, especially our local Chamber business community. The purpose of our grant request this year will be to build an eCommerce solution for our Chamber members. Think GROW Nebraska meets Amazon.com meets the Ord Area Chamber of Commerce. While we have several things to work out through this request, what is certain is that if we're awarded, you'll see quite a bit from us this summer articulate exactly how the process will unfold: our bid for work performed (building the eCommerce site), integration with our membership, training to make it happen for our business community, and product launch. This is effort is going to cost us some serious cash – BUT I think it's well worth the investment for the future of our communities. I'm a firm believer that it takes money to make money – and hording it does no one any good.
Let's face it – while Burwell and Ord continue to hold their own, our regional retail trade area is shrinking (32,000 to 30,000 over the past decade, roughly). Businesses are now seamlessly integrated online and the importance of eCommerce is now mission critical to any business with a product or service out there today. That means everyone selling something should be doing it both in brick and mortar locations along with the internet. Online connectivity is too powerful today to ignore – I started my professional career working at a dot.com that dot-bombed. It was an essential learning experience that *proved* to me in 2003 the power of the world wide web.
Expanding the rural retail trade area is essential to the future of our communities. Creative economic development efforts are essential to progress in Ord and Valley County and we feel this request will help us further cutting edge strategies that build a bright future in our communities. We hope to execute this idea and make it possible to provide not only a conduit for our existing businesses to grow, but also a platform for entrepreneurs to develop their ideas without the overhead of an eCommerce site to worry about.
Sooooooo, keep your fingers crossed and keep your eyes open for June. The FHLB of Topeka usually makes their awards notices public then and we hope our idea will be among one of the winners. Until then, enjoy Spring.

My statement is simple. " I did not as an artist subscribe to the belief or theory that one must be disciplined in one style or medium. Art is the interpretation of a subject, whether it be internal or external, and my thought is that some mediums or styles worked better than others for me. I have posted different pieces into my site to show off my abilities and diversity of what I was capable of. I enjoyed taking J.Pollocks style to another level.... by adding subject into it with form recognition. I played with the "Minds Eye". The Artist does not share any views, by any Group or Individual.The image remains the property of the Artist,and written permission must be granted by the Artist,...

Zaku Cannon – Work in progressFebruary 28, 2017 at 22:04 | Posted in Work In Progress | 1 Comment
Tags: kitbash, work in progress, Zaku Cannon, Zeon Remnant Project
The Zaku Cannon has been a work in progress for quite some time now. After many delays and revisions, I finally decided on the final look. This build is a combination of several HG kits, a Zaku Cannon resin kit and the old MSV Zaku Cannon kit.
I used the head from the HGUC Zaku II (Johnny Ridden) kit as the base. To it, I glued the mouthpiece from the Zaku Cannon resin kit.
On the top of the head, I glued the forehead sensor from my HGUC Ground Gundam. At the back of the head, I removed some bits that hold the power cable and added an antenna from the MSV Zaku Cannon kit.
For the top part of the chest, I used the part from the resin kit. I drilled a bigger hole on it to accommodate the shoulder joints, which were from HGBC Bolden Arms Arms. The neck joint is just simply a leftover polycap joint. At the bottom, I attached a ball-joint socket (Hobbybase) to attach it to the hips.
The midriff is another leftover part from my Char's Zaku II Origin kit. I attached additional plaplate to add more length and girth.
The hip was from another Zaku II Origin kit but I replaced the orignal polycap socket with the one from Hobby Base. On the front skirt armor, I attached some leftover parts from the Efreet Nacht resin kit.
I used the resin kit shield on the right shoulder. I glued a socket from a HGUC Zaku II F2 shield to attach it to the shoulder. In addition, I glued some plaplate along the edges and within the shield to add some girth and detail, respectively.
On the left shoulder, I used the MSV kit shoulder armor. I replaced the original spikes with the ones from MS Spike. To make a rough surface, I smothered the part with basic putty and using a worn toothbrush, I made random strokes over the surface.
To attach the shield to the shoulder, I used the joint from a RG Zaku kit.
The arms were from the HG Gouf R35 kit. The biceps were elongated by 1.2mm and the gaps on the forearm were filled with epoxy putty.
This was the part where I had the most problems. In the end, I took the easy way out and just used the HG Bugu legs. No mods except for the thighs. I covered up the panel lines with basic putty.
All the main weapons for this kit are attached to the backpack, which is from the resin kit. The main cannon was actually the Bigwig cannon that came included with a very old edition of Dengeki Hobby magazine. It's supposed to be a huge cannon, but at 1/400 scale, it fits nicely on the shoulder of my 1/144 Zaku Cannon. To attach it to the backpack, I used several joints and the dog leg from GM Sniper K9.
The side cannons are from the MSV kit. I used a series of joints from Kotobukiya MSG and HGBC Bolden Arm Arms to connect them to the backpack.
On the left side of the backpack, I attached something that resembles a smoke grenade disperser on tanks.
Lastly, I modified a Zaku machinegun from the HGUC Zaku Sniper kit. I attached a vernier at the muzzle and added the stock from the Zaku Sniper rifle.
The completed kit can now be viewed here.

Both HK and Japanese cinema are discussed within their pages, but the balance seems more directed to Japanese films. Japanese monsters seem to have a special place in the editors heart as almost entire issues have been dedicated to Gamera or Godzilla.
I am not sure if they even allow subscriptions as I can't find anything in the magazine suggesting such a thing or even a phone number to call.
After having just read issue #16 which is dedicated to the films of Jet Li, I have had to revise my already so-so opinion of this magazine. These reviews are without a doubt some of the most annoying and least informed opinions I have ever come across. They are nearly all written by the editor Damon Foster who admits at the beginning that he doesn't like Jet Li and doesn't like the HK films of the nineties. So why bother to come out with this issue? Trying no doubt to cash in on the recent Jet Li publicity in the states.
His reviews are clearly written more for his own amusement than to inform his readers. So full of snide remarks, moronic adolescent metaphors and tedious rants that I felt in need of a shower after finishing as many reviews as I could. His favorite descriptive word is "sucks". How old is this guy - fifteen? Not only has Foster apparently refused to enter the 90's on a cinematic level, but on a technological one as well. Has the fact that word processors now have this thing called "spell checkers" escaped his attention or does he just think that it is really cool having his magazine littered with spelling errors and jumbled grammar.
He has also gone the Asian Cult Cinema route by
having a scantily clad Asian female on the back cover for no particular
reason. Great - how many people buy this magazine for that reason
I wonder - but after reading these reviews it may be the only reason to
buy this rag.

Washington Redskins, Reprive
As screwed up as our society and laws are I have noticed that in almost all cases if it does not make sence or sound reasonable it typically is not. This addage of mine reguarding the laws has held true once again when the highest court in our nation refused to hear the case against the Washington Redskins. My last article on the subject Washington Redskins, No More? can be read here. Years ago when all this nonsence started with high school teams I was convinced and had a hard time convincing others (though I do not know why) that team names are not picked to mock or shame it is because they are proud, powerful, intimidating, or honorable thing to which to be associated. Really, who would want to call themselves something that they were embarrased of prejudice or in any other manor something that they would rather not associate themselves? What the hell has happened to logic in this country? It is difficult to comprehend this dramatically dimished capasity in this country. Is it any wonder why we cannot compete in any capasity any more? At least the Supreme Court has not lost it head, yet.

Osgood-Schlatter disease is a condition which causes pain on the knee. It commonly occurs among young people between the ages of 9-16. It manifests itself through a painful lump just below the knee. This is due to the inflammation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity. The pain is usually felt during physical activity such as running, jumping, squatting, and going up and down the stairs.
Around 75% of cases affect boys and occurs in up to 20% of sporty children compared to 4% of a group of all activity levels. In a quarter of cases, both knees are affected and it is more likely to happen around the age of rapid growth. Since the condition is due to the irritation and damage of the growth plate, Osgood-Schlatter disease can sprout only while the growth plate is present, usually up to 16 years of age.
Mechanical factors play a big role in Osgood–Schlatter's disease. When the feet are in 'perfect' alignment, the quadriceps muscles, patella tendon, patella and tibial tuberosity are all in a line. Any force created by using the thigh muscles transmits to the tuberosity in a direct front-on direction. A pronated foot will increase the quadriceps angle in the same way that a knock kneed position would. The change in the angle of pull can leave the trochanter more vulnerable from an angled pulling force.
Ignoring symptoms or adopting a 'no pain, no gain' attitude is likely to cause further damage and prolonged recovery in patients with Osgood Schlatter's disease. Immediate and appropriate treatment of patients with this condition is essential to ensure a speedy recovery.
Some factors which may contribute to the development of Osgood Schlatter's disease include:
- A sudden increase in training or sporting activity
- Inappropriate training
- Recent growth spurts
- Inappropriate footwear
- Muscle tightness or weakness (particularly the quadriceps)
- Joint stiffness
- Poor lower limb biomechanics
- Poor foot posture

Liquid Nose Job
Key Points
A Liquid Nose Job is a non-surgical remolding of the nose
Dermal Fillers and Anti Wrinkle Muscle Relaxants can reshape your nose
Dr. Jodie can help you assess your non-surgical and surgical options
Dr. Jodie is experienced in delivering gender sensitive treatments
What is a Liquid Nose Job?
A Liquid Nose lift is a non-surgical remolding of the nose using Dermal Fillers and Anti Wrinkle Muscle Relaxants to improve facial balance and create a better side profile. It's an alternative to surgical rhinoplasty.
How is a Liquid Nose Job performed?
Dermal Fillers can be used to contour your nose; this will improve the overall shape and projection. It's possible to straighten lumps and bumps, narrow the width of the nose, elevate the tip and even lift a flattened nose. Dr. Jodie delivers this treatment using a micro-cannula (fine blunt-ended instrument) approach, refining the result with small needle injections when it is safe to do so.
Dermal Filler injections in the nose can be dangerous, so take great care in selecting an experienced clinician. Dr. Jodie is risk averse and experienced in all aspects of treating noses.
Anti Wrinkle Muscle Relaxants can also be used to reshape your nose. With a few small injections Dr. Jodie can narrow the width of the nose and lift the tip of the nose. This is a particularly safe and quick procedure to keep your nose in harmony with your face.
Dr. Jodie will help you assess your options to decide if a non-surgical nose job is for you or if it's best to see a plastic surgeon.

For proven anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers, residents across Melbourne including from areas like Ashwood, Balwyn, Blackburn, Box Hill, Burwood, Camberwell, Canterbury, Forest Hill, Mont Albert, Surrey Hills & more look to Dr. Jodie and her skilled staff.

The phone booth is all but obsolete. I NEVER pass up a chance to photograph a phone booth. It's like living in a real life apocalyptic landscape. The phone booths are just the first evidence of our society's decline, along with the empty mega-mart building ruins, old Blockbuster Video Stores and 7-11s. that sounds crazy to me, but it also seems true.
Who is responsible for removing pay phones from the public streets that are no longer in use? It seems that they are just left there to rot. I guess it doesn't bother me as it is infinitely more interesting than the cookie cutter world that surrounds us.
It looks like the decline of society on the surface, but I suppose that it could also be viewed as the rapid advancement of our society. We invent new ways to communicate so fast that we can't get rid of the old technology fast enough.
Either way, I love pay phones. How many millions of conversations have happened in this spot? How many kids called their parents collect in an emergency from this phone? 911 calls, people ordering food, calling their banks, making drug deals. This one phone has so many stories, and has been touched by so many people. It has a human-ness to it. If human-ness is a word. Welcome to my brain.
