What's worse than a bad movie? A pretentious bad movie with a broken Aesop. Horse movies do have a tendency to be bad in the first place, but there's no excuse for this. Celebrating a white man's Lakota heritage does not give the film free license to depict derogatory portrayals of Bedouin or declare an American mustang superior to Arabian horses in an event for which they've been bred for centuries. It reeks of thinly-veiled ethnocentrism.
"Based on a true story"?
Go jump in a lake.
After Aragorn finishes a snowy endurance race on a paint horse named Hidalgo, dialogue reveals that Aragorn's last name is Hopkins. The sore loser berates him about his horse.
Loser: Mustangs don't belong in races with thoroughbreds.
The movie is about three minutes in, and already it doesn't know what it's talking about. The race just shown, if implications are to be taken at face value, was a long-distance endurance race. It was not a flat race. Thoroughbreds are the breed best known for flat races, not endurance races, which are much longer and more arduous. So yes, mustangs don't belong in races with thoroughbreds—because thoroughbreds belong in flat races. The question is, what were you and your thoroughbred doing in an endurance race, mister? Thoroughbreds are sprinters, not marathon runners.
The narrative then proceeds to imply that Hopkins is responsible for delivering a message that called for the instigation of the battle at Wounded Knee, providing him with enough angst to become an alcoholic and join a wild west show so that he can wallow in his self-loathing.
Hopkins: I'm getting the **** out of Cleveland.
Annie: Good, 'cause we're in Boston.
Okay, that was funny.
On the train ride to the next stop, we learned that mustangs are being rounded up to be killed by the government (because the government is evil and hates all symbols of freedom). It's implied again that thoroughbreds are viewed as the best breed of horse.
Bill: Tell my dear friend Eagle Horn that the mustang breed has known its day and served its purpose. If my chief wishes a fine horse, I will give to him a thoroughbred steed of his chosen color.
- What is an Oglala chief going to do with a thoroughbred? Prance around? Thoroughbreds have long legs and look regal, but they're not hardy little things like mustangs. They have tiny hooves. They're not ideal as work horses or for traveling great distances or any of the practical uses Eagle Horn might intend for a horse.
- "Of his chosen color"? Real equestrians don't care about color (except for paint fans, who, come to think of it, are the target audience). A palomino or a blue roan can be nice to look at, but that's far from the primary concern when in the market for a new horse. A good horse is sound, intelligent, cooperative, and trusting, with good confirmation and healthy hooves. Color is an afterthought. Perhaps in this portrayal Buffalo Bill is supposed to be ignorant about horses, but in this era knowledge of horse basics would be more prevalent than it is now.
Clearly, the movie wants to set up a prevailing prejudice against mustangs in favor of thoroughbreds so that mustangs can be the underdogs. However, just supposing the white folks all have some irrational disdain for the "native" horses (even though cowboys found plenty of use for them), why would they be touting Thoroughbreds as the best breed of all time? There is no universal best breed—only certain breeds that are well-equipped for certain tasks. During the Civil War, Americans were using Morgans, Arabians, and gaited breeds such as the Tennessee Walker and American Saddlebred. It makes more sense to recommend one of these as an alternative.
Additional note: Hopkins is not a reliable translator.
At the next wild west show, Hidalgo canters out into the arena without his rider, and Hopkins struggles to get the thousand-pound animal to cooperate. This might be intended as comedic relief. For anyone who has experienced a similar situation, it is not.
When word reaches Arabia that Hidalgo is being advertised as the greatest living endurance horse, a wealthy sheikh sends Aziz to talk with Buffalo Bill about this inaccuracy. They tell him to discontinue using the phrase unless Hopkins and Hidalgo prove themselves in an endurance race across the Arabian desert. With funding from his coworkers who put too much faith in him, Hopkins accepts the challenge. So… how is Hopkins planning to protect Hidalgo from the strong Arabian sun? Does he have any sunscreen? All those white markings put a lot of sensitive pink skin at risk.
On the boat overseas, some idiots mess with the horse, so Hopkins punches them out. Good job trying to be responsible. Now try not being drunk half the time.
After the brawl, Hopkins is introduced to Lady Anne Davenport. Considering the customs of the era, you'd think a cowboy would know better than to shake a lady's hand like that, but maybe he's still drunk/hungover/out of his wits in one way or another. It turns out that one of the horses that will be competing against Hidalgo is owned by this Lady Anne. More talk of bloodlines. The elitism displayed is not painful so much for its own sake as because it's so forced for the purpose of setting up a straw man. There have to be some snobby naysayers so that the American underdog can trample established precedent and choke you with inspiration.
After arriving at their destination, Aziz accompanies Hopkins as they ride along to wherever and on the way pass by "a slave market". This should be interesting. How will Mister American Freedom handle the— Oh. We're fading out of that shot now. That's it.
The wealthy sheikh has a beautiful daughter (Can you see where this is going?) who likes to ride horses, which is not allowed because of… some unspecified reason. This may or may not be accurate. Considering that traditional Bedouin women have more freedom than those in sedentary lives, it may well be that this was made this up for the sole purpose of a cheap characterization device. Look how fierce is this woman. Cheer for her and her faux struggle against The Man. Pay no attention to the actual, relevant issues behind the curtain.
More dialogue implies that Hidalgo is still a stallion. As in, not a gelding. That's… unusual. It's not implausible, but the factoid's inclusion is just another excuse for a character to express concern for pure bloodlines.
A goatherder is punished by being assigned to the American. He rambles about how this will be a dangerous ride. The movie keeps ruminating on things it has already said.
When Hopkins meets the sheikh, there's a gag about both Arabs and cowboys preferring strong coffee, which suggests that someone around here did do some research, so— Hold on, what's the sheikh's daughter doing here? She wouldn't be allowed in this part of the tent while a man is visiting. Neither would a responsible man speak to a male stranger about a female relative. You people did the research; you ought to know better than this.
Sheikh: On cold nights, my wives sleep in the stable tents so that Al-Hattal is comfortable and appeased.
…Stable tents? No. There are no "stable tents". Horses are tied to stakes in the ground. Sometimes, the Bedouin bring their horses into their tents to sleep alongside them, but that is not equivalent to you sleeping in the barn. That is equivalent to you bringing your horse into your bedroom.
Also, they're making a big deal over this Arabian stallion. This is inaccurate. Bedouin trace bloodlines through the mares, not the stallions, and mares are the more valuable. Plus, about every time the special purebred stallion is shown, he's rearing or misbehaving, perpetuating negative stereotypes of Arabians as unruly, not to mention it makes the Bedouin look like they don't know how to handle a horse. In contrast, take a look at some actual Bedouin horsemanship.
The sheikh is very impressed with Hopkins' gun, even though he looks rich enough that he could just buy his own. Whatever the excuse, the weapon is a reason for the indigenous native to admire the Mighty Whitey. It doesn't get any better from here.
Time for a break from the serious. Let's see something funny. Hopkins tries to instruct a boy to get water for his horse. Since they don't share a common language, he points to the boy, gives him a bucket, and points to the horse. Having no idea how to put a horse into a bucket, much less milk a stallion, the boy drops the bucket and takes off running.
Then communication-impaired Hopkins walks over to have an uneventful chat with Lady Anne and ties his horse to a— Did he just tie his horse by the reins? Wait, no, false alarm. He didn't even make a knot. Better hope that horse has been trained to ground tie.
When he calls her ma'am, she corrects him, saying, "Anne will do." His response? "Yes, ma'am." Ha.
Time to go back to the serious. Everyone and their horses gather at the starting line and express their doubts that Hopkins will survive, in case it hasn't been hammered in enough that Hidalgo is the underdog (with good reason). After something like a tense buildup, the race begins. This is when the movie picks up in energy and visual interest what it lacks in realism and writing. The soundtrack is nothing special, but it does its job as generic action music. If you were waiting for the part where you get to watch a bunch of horses run across the screen, here you go. Most effective is the momentary shot that shows a woman grabbing a boy out of the way just before the starting gun fires.
After that, things settle down. The filmmakers realize that actual endurance rides are not interesting to watch for the most part, so the slowing of pace is realistic, but this now poses a problem for the entertainment factor. How to solve that? Here's an idea: kill off one of the horses.
A competitor tells Hopkins not to aid another competitor who has just euthanized his injured horse. This being a fictional race, that's hard to verify, but it sure sounds contrary to the traditional Bedouin values of hospitality and generosity.
Hopkins arrives at an oasis and spots a rabbit, at which he raises his pistol to shoot, but then a falcon swoops in and catches it for its master. It's not unusual for a Bedouin to be a falconer. Here again the writing suggests that there was some knowledge of the Bedouin involved in the making of this movie. How did they know about the coffee and falcons but not anything else?
Wow. That scorpion looks fake.
A nice guy reminds Hopkins that he still has a chance to turn back and save his skin. Maybe this is meant to come off as belligerent, but he's expressing earnest concern for the survival of a man who has limited knowledge of a dangerous place.
Oh. Never mind. The script realizes that his dialogue is not having the desired effect and has the ex-nice guy makes a shady deal. That's not very Bedouin of you, sir. What are you so concerned over, anyway? He has no reason to be worried—unless, unbeknownst to the audience, he has the psychic ability to sense the protagonist of the movie.
At the next water hole, a man does what he was paid to do by ex-nice guy shady-deal-maker: he lies to Hopkins that the well here is dry, but Hopkins is no fool. Like a clever hero, he deduces that the well is—
Hold on. That man is British. A British soldier, in Arabia, prior to World War I.
Because after all, the movie would be incomplete without a bad guy with an English accent.
Hey look. Hidalgo does ground tie. Also, as revealed when Hopkins makes a grab for the water, he's also very good at running over people without actually trampling them. The water problem is solved without much difficulty. With that action scene over, there's only a few seconds of breathing room before a sandstorm appears. They hide from it in a random abandoned building.
After some shots of the desert accompanied by appropriate music, H-team reaches the half-way camp. Lady Anne, Daddy Sheikh, and Beautiful Daughter are there, plus the goat man. Daddy Sheikh reads a dime novel about Buffalo Bill. His evil nephew comes along to ask for a horse, and you can tell he's evil because he has a well-kept devil beard. Also, he takes a dig at the sheikh's manhood. Boo. The sheikh has a comeback referring to the fact that the evil nephew has no wives, which is… unusual… and impractical, unless he's doing all the tent chores himself. Way to go for traversing traditional gender boundaries? Somehow, gender equality doesn't seem to be the intended message here.
In the next scene, the sheikh's beautiful daughter, Jazira, sneaks into Hopkin's tent while he is alone after dark. That's a gutsy move, to say the least. She gives him advice on how to survive in the desert, hoping that he will win, because if the prince (that's ex-nice guy shady-deal-maker) wins the race on Al-Hattal, she will have to marry him. So her proactive solution to this problem is to help someone else win the race.
- Why she picks Hopkins of all people is questionable. She should be helping someone likely to win, not the underdog. Then again, maybe she too can sense the identity of the protagonist.
- Has Evil Nephew already revoked his right to her? The prince can't marry this woman without her first cousin's permission.
- Her daring move is unnecessary. She's not powerless here. She has the right to express her opinion and get what she wants. Unlike their sedentary sisters, many Bedouin marry for love.
Then there's this exchange.
Jazira: How did you tame him?
Hopkins: I didn't.
Cut the pretense. You trained that horse to ground tie.
Hopkins: Why do you wear that?
Jazira: Verily, you do not know our world.
One can assume he was asking about the veil. In actuality, Bedouin women are not required to cover their faces. It's a good idea, due to the environment (sand and wind are a painful combination), but she has nothing to be ashamed of if she leaves her nose visible. She might be referring to the real reasons that would make covering her face a good idea, but… it's a calm night and no sand is blowing.
A few lines later, Jazira refers to Hopkins as a "white man".
- Her skin is not darker than his.
- In general, Arabs consider themselves white.
A slave finds Jazira in Hopkins' tent, and due to happenstance, the pose they're found in looks… suspicious, to say the least. Daddy brings his daughter home and they have an angry discussion that comes around to the topic of the prince and her marriage.
Sheikh: (translated) You are not yet his property.
Does somebody think they actually talk like that?
Jazira: (translated) The women of the western tribes no longer wear the veil.
And you don't have to either. Stop acting as if you have no control over your life.
Some men enter the tent with Hopkins, who is in handcuffs. Jazira covers her face at their arrival, but she does not cross behind the curtain to the women's side of the tent.
Jazira: (translated) Let him go.
Sheikh: (translated) How dare you give orders to a man in my tent.
No, you read that line wrong. It's "How dare you remain in the sitting place while there are male guests present." The sheikh proceeds to relay the information to Hopkins that for their perceived lewdness, she will be flogged and he will be castrated. Hopkins prevents this not by convincing him of their innocence, but by catching his attention with a quote from Buffalo Bill. Then some raiders arrive and start shooting up the place, true to form. Lady Anne has a snarky method of reassuring her maid that she's not in danger.
Lady Anne: Tribal war games are their national sport, Mary. It's none of our affair.
She's very confident about this. You're not supposed to like her. The movie wants to make sure she's so politically incorrect that it makes this story look good in comparison, but it's not working so well.
The sheikh is shown to be inept with a pistol. Hopkins has to step in and show him how it's done. We're back to the old clichés again.
Jazira gets kidnapped by raiders, although she does fight to admirable degree. No pathetic easy surrender for her. Kudos. The bad news is that she's been taken by very dishonorable men who are willing to break Bedouin law (which allows blood vengeance but is fiercely protective of women).
The sheikh finds that his family's breeding book is also missing. Hopkins suggests that they interrogate Aziz. When the sheikh questions him, his answers are useless. It's looking like he's going to be put to the sword, but Hopkins interrupts to try a different interrogation style, which turns out to be more effective—because of course the American knows best.
The kidnappers want Al-Hattal in exchange for Jazira's safe return. The horse, as has been reiterated time and time again, is priceless, so Team Rescue comes up with a zany scheme.
It turns out the man who kidnapped Jazira is… the evil nephew, Katib. He has some stock dialogue about her father being a failure for allowing his feelings to rule him. The evil nephew is touting stoicism and a cold heart as the path to strength and greatness. In other words, the movie is saying that putting emotion aside is evil. Just once, can stoicism be presented as a good thing?
Team Rescue arrives with the horse and trades it for Jazira. Surprise: the horse isn't Al-Hattal. A chase ensues, which might be fast-paced and tense the first time you watch it, but when you already know what happens (which isn't hard to guess the first time around) the more interesting thing to note is that there are some Arab men with goggles over their keffiyeh. It's reminiscent of the Sand People from Star Wars… probably because they were based on the Bedouin. The Sand People, you will recall, are regarded as hostile, primitive, and almost sub-human. The Bedouin don't have much in the way of good PR in America, do they?
Oh look. Hopkins has finally traded in his cowboy hat for a keffiyeh. Good choice. It will protect his lungs from all the dust.
Back to the action. When Hopkins whistles for his horse, Hidalgo unties himself. There are specific horsemanship knots intended to prevent that. Also the slave gets shot, which is unfortunate. He was a good man. Before that, Hopkins ditches the keffiyeh at some point because he's too good for practicality.
Hopkins and Jazira escape on Hidalgo. Once they're away from the danger, Jazira decides she wants Hopkins to see her face, which isn't a big deal but seems a bit silly.
Jazira: Why do I feel that you truly see me when others do not?
Good question.
Hopkins utters some cheesy line about how beautiful she is and his horse turns around to look at him like, "Quit fooling around, man. They're coming after us." They ride further and get to camp. Everybody's excited to greet them as they return.
Sheikh: When this race is over, I will pray five times a day.
…which is what Muslims are supposed to do in the first place.
Hopkins tries to make a point to goat man about fighting fate and Lady Anne invites Hopkins over for tea. She wants to bribe him to quit the race. Why does everyone regard this guy as such a serious threat? When he refuses, she puts on some music and tries to seduce him because we wouldn't want you forgetting that she's a dirtbag. He is Super Noble McPerfect, so he is not ensnared and bids her a good night. He finds Jazira tending to his horse.
Hopkins: I don't like the look of them front hooves. That quarter crack is getting worse. Another four hundred miles can put him lame.
Jazira: You must not give up.
This woman has terrible judgment. You should have bet on a different horse, sweetheart. In any case, that's not a good example of endurance ride ethics. This isn't a flat race. This isn't the sport of kings, or the sport of gamblers, or the sport of unscrupulous businessmen. This isn't about the profit or the reward or winning at any cost, no matter how great. This is about horses and their people. You always put the health of the horse first. Always.
When Hopkins expresses some realistic expectations, Jazira spouts some foolish whiny crap and admonishes him for being willing to "prove them right". They are right. Hidalgo isn't designed for a ride like this, and neither man nor horse is experienced with this environment. You can't win on sheer willpower alone. However, pressured by her guilt trip and Hidalgo's adherence to routine, Hopkins rejoins the competition the next morning.
Turns out Lady Anne is a shady deal-maker too. She was in league with Katib the whole time. What a cheater. Also Katib calls her "Lady English," which is a nice touch, considering how "Anne" would sound to a native Arabic-speaker. Hey look, another guy with goggles on his keffiyeh. Is this a thing? Do people do this? It looks awesome, but where are they getting the goggles from?
There hasn't been any action for a few minutes. Time for a locust swarm. Hopkins is ridiculously nonchalant about bugs trying to crawl onto his face. The locusts black out the screen for a second, but then we see the aftermath. Either Hidalgo reacts to fear by lying down on his side, or Hopkins has trained him to lie down this way even if something scary is happening.
- When something happens that they're unfamiliar with and don't understand, horses don't like to lie down. They prefer to run. Lying down puts their legs out of action, leaving them vulnerable, and it's only worthy of their consideration under very safe circumstances, when nothing is going on and there's another horse around to stand guard.
- When horses lie down, they lie down on their bellies with their legs tucked. It is unusual for them to lie down on their sides flat out like a dead thing.
Remembering what Jazira told him, Hopkins eats a locust and feeds one to his horse. Horses are not omnivores. Jazira never specified whether they are safe for a horse's delicate digestive system.
Meanwhile, another competitor falls into a… a… tar pit? What is that stuff? Quicksand? It looks very watery. More water than sand. This is supposed to be a desert.
His horse takes off without him. It doesn't get very far, granted, but it doesn't hang around near the edge of the pit, either. This is hard to believe if you know anything about the famed loyalty of Bedouin horses. Then again, it's also strange that the horse wasn't more cautious and didn't sense the ground becoming more unstable before going forward.
Hopkins lassoes him out of there, of course, because he's the American hero. Then they have a conversation about God's will versus human will.
Hopkins: What about your will? What about your horse's will? Seems to me that's what will get you across a finish line.
So you're a hopeless romantic, huh?
If this movie has a central theme, this is it: with enough willpower, any odds can be overcome. The problem is that's not accounting for everything. It's not willpower alone that creates accomplishments. Rather, willpower drives an individual to acquire the necessary skills and resources to achieve a goal. Dreaming in your heart is not enough to make things happen. It takes action.
For example, wanting to win the race is not enough for Hopkins to win the race. A man who wants more than anything to win this race would have done everything possible to ensure his success: he should have purchased and trained with an Arabian horse bred specifically for the conditions of this race, learned all he could about surviving in the desert, trained and prepared in Arabia beforehand, worn appropriate attire such as a keffiyeh, not rescued Jazira and instead allowed his horse more time to rest, and not wasted time and energy rescuing this guy in the random watery quicksand when he could have been riding closer to the finish line.
As shown by the movie itself, winning is not his number one priority. He wants to be a hero more than he wants to win. That's all well and good, but he has accumulated so many disadvantages by now that it doesn't make remote sense for him to even be in the running. Merely really wanting to can't change that. What's more, it's ironic that the movie keeps pushing this idea when half the time Hopkins exhibits an apathetic attitude.
The conversation ends as if Hopkins has made a better argument. He hits the trail again, but he's so exhausted that he falls off the horse. After he remounts, he ties himself to the saddle. Bad idea. Never do this at home.
He's not too exhausted for another action scene, though. Some people attack and it might make sense if you were paying close attention to the plot but hey look, that guy's shooting a real flaming arrow. Look at it. It's on fire. Then the attackers on horses gallop forth and chase H-team into a spike pit. Hidalgo is injured. It's bad. Whether or not Hopkins gets on your nerves, it's unpleasant to see his horse get hurt.
An Arab with keffiyeh goggles aims a rifle at Hopkins, who is somehow uninjured, but Katib says Lady English says don't kill him, because bad guys must always be morons. Guess what. Hopkins escapes the spike pit. Not only that, but somehow his injured horse is still rideable.
Lucky for them, the bad guys who were too stupid to just shoot him happen to have a couple of CGI leopards on hand. They don't act much like real leopards. They're more like heat-seeking missiles.
As the action continues, a falcon attacks a guy in the face. Whether or not this is supposed to be funny, it is. Somehow Hopkins again does not get shot because Katib decides there needs to be a melee scene. Thanks to this and Hopkins' unwillingness to be another save-the-villain type, Katib falls victim to one of his own traps. Action scene over.
H-team heads on. When Hidalgo collapses, maybe from exhaustion and maybe from that giant wound on his shoulder, Hopkins almost gives up but then hallucinates, sings a song, and makes it better. His singing isn't bad, but no amount of singing will heal your horse and restore his stamina… unless you have spontaneous plot powers.
When the prince on Al-Hattal comes along to taunt him, we get this exchange.
Prince: You will not defeat me. I am born of the great tribe. People of the horse.
Hopkins: So am I.
That's a decent piece of dialogue there, even a powerful one if you're buying into the ludicrous story.
When it gets down to the wire, the three horses in the lead are all very close at a flat out gallop, which is an acceptable use of artistic license. Despite all the setbacks, delays, and his American-bred horse, Hopkins [not a spoiler] wins the race. Surprise. Then H-team comes to a stop in the— Is that the sea? What the…? It's stated multiple times in the movie that the end of the race is in Damascus. Damascus does not have a shoreline.
After the nonsense in Arabia, Hopkins returns to America without so much as kissing the pretty lady (so at least this movie doesn't adhere to every cliché) and there he rescues the mustangs from their impending death by purchasing every last one with the winner's purse. Then he sets them all free, including Hidalgo. The music feels that this is very inspiring. The guy no longer has a horse. His best friend abandoned him. Hurrah.
The following text displays on screen at the end:
Frank T. Hopkins was reputed to have won more than 400 long-distance races, competing well into his sixties.
"Reputed"? Considering this movie was billed as "based on a true story", you don't sound very sure of yourself. So, ignoring the inauthenticity, how does the movie fare as a work of fiction?
The Bedouin are represented as evil backstabbers, repressed women, and bumbling old fools inept in horsemanship. The Brits and Americans of European descent are no good either. Hopkins, who for all intents and purposes looks like a white guy, only redeems himself by being half-Lakota and embracing that half of his heritage. Prejudice against American Indians is wrong, but it's not any less wrong to glorify them as the flawless master race while turning that exact same prejudice against the Bedouin tribes.
Supposing you can ignore the painful sight of a derogatory, stereotypical, and inaccurate portrayal of a fascinating people and their elegant companions, is there still a good story somewhere underneath? Don't be absurd.
In terms of structure, it's difficult to compose a narrative out of an endurance race. They can be rewarding to compete in, but they're not interesting for spectators. They're monotonous by design. The film tries to capitalize on the stunning desert scenery, but that can only go on for so long, so it flounders about in search of a plot.
Plot points, to use a generous term, come in the form of desert hazards and generic Western elements: a swarm of locusts, a sandstorm, a conflict over water, a kidnapping/rescue, a shootout, an exotic woman to fulfill the Indian Princess trope and whine as if her culture is a lot more oppressive than it actually is… The uniting threads of the story line revolve around purebred prejudice, Jazira's contrived marriage situation that she could have solved herself, and Hopkins' implied identity crisis, but there is no overarching plot. The whole frustrating thing is a weak conglomeration of unconnected action scenes sprinkled with believe-in-yourself encouragement and a sentimental view of the American Mustang as the world's best breed. A mustang beats the Arabs at their own game. It's preposterous. There's no ignoring that.

In a blog post published last week, Tesla claimed that its Model 3 was the safest car ever tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA.)
Seemingly in response, the NHTSA just released a very, oh, let's call it a measured statement. The statement, which doesn't mention Tesla by name, clarifies that there are no bonus points above a five-star rating. If you reach the top bracket, you're good.
The statement reads:
Results from these three crash tests and the rollover resistance assessments are weighted and combined into an overall safety rating. A 5-star rating is the highest safety rating a vehicle can achieve. NHTSA does not distinguish safety performance beyond that rating, thus there is no 'safest' vehicle among those vehicles achieving 5-star ratings.
That seems to contradict Tesla's post, which used NHTSA testing data to claim that the Model 3 showed a lower probability of accident-related injuries than any other car model out there. The government apparently felt the need to step in and shoot down the hype.
Look, y'all already got five stars, okay? Let's cool it.

In a Major Step Toward Fully Electric Aviation, Eviation and Kokam Announce Battery Supply Deal Worth Over $1 Million at Singapore Airshow
SINGAPORE, Feb. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/– Singapore Airshow 2018 — Eviation Aircraft, a global manufacturer of all-electric air mobility solutions, and Kokam, a leading battery manufacturer based in South Korea, today announced details for a battery supply deal worth over $1 million. These batteries will be used to power Eviation's Alice aircraft, set to fly by the end of this year. A mock-up of the Alice can be viewed at the Singapore Air Show in Booth A11.
With the goal of making clean regional air travel accessible for all, Eviation is tackling one of the world's dirtiest industries – aviation. Its zero-emissions solution, the Alice, which debuted at the 52nd Paris Air Show in June 2017, leverages an IP portfolio that includes thermal management and autonomous landing, as well as distributed electric propulsion, industry-leading battery technology provided by Kokam, and cutting-edge composite body frames capable of carrying up to 9 passengers on a single charge for 650 miles.
Beginning with its patented manufacturing process, Kokam's battery solutions feature a compact battery cell design, an industry-leading energy density of 260 Watt hours per kilogram (Wh/kg) and a long cycle life, making them optimized to achieve light, energy efficient solutions meeting the safety demands of an aircraft. While the company's battery solutions have been used in aerial, ground, surface, and underwater drone applications for military, commercial, and industrial purposes, this deal with Eviation marks the first time they will be used in manned aerial flights of regional commuter aircrafts.
"Eviation is taking the electric transportation revolution to its next logical level: the air," said Ike Hong, vice president of Kokam's Power Solutions Division. "While the aviation sector is behind those on the ground in electrifying, today's battery capabilities are both more compact and with higher energy density than earlier technology, already able to power flights of 500 miles or less, a distance encompassing half of the world's 4.5 billion flights annually."
Eviation is primed to make regional air travel emissions-free with a fully-electric aircraft design, built from the ground up to cut costs and improve efficiency on the busiest city-to-city transit routes, such as San Diego to Silicon Valley and Seoul to Beijing. Through 2019, Eviation will certify and commercialize its all-electric Alice aircraft, while partnering with leading industry suppliers, including Kokam, to bring its prototypes to scale and to the market.
"Kokam is known around the world for its exceptional lithium ion battery technology, which already powers everything from energy storage systems to unmanned aerial, surface, and underwater vehicles," said Omer Bar-Yohay, CEO of Eviation. "We're confident this is the best battery to usher in the age of electric aerial mobility, helping to save customers time and money, while being the most sustainable solution in the air."

The Secret World free weekend coming soon
If you've been following newly released MMORPG titles lately, you've probably heard about Funcom's conspiracy/fantasy based title The Secret World. The game has caught the attention of many due to its unique setting and lack of level based progression, but not every one is convinced enough to shell out for a subscription fee every month.
Skeptics will get a chance to try the game for free next weekend, as Funcom will be holding a one month anniversary event for all. Funcom will also apparently be putting on special festivities to mark the event, including fireworks and a special set of missions for players to participate in (and a special reward for those who complete said missions).
If you've been wanting to try the game, but are hesitant to shell out money then this is a perfect opportunity to try before you buy. Curious? Check out the official website here.

Tenure Chasers works predominantly with tenure-track researchers, not PhD candidates and postdocs. But, that doesn't mean we can't help, or that they shouldn't communicate their work.
There are several good reasons why this is the case, but PhDs and postdocs often ask for my advice on communication, so it's worth sharing here.
What I tell them seems counter-intuitive – it has to do with the differences between tenure-track positions and 'training' positions. Most of it isn't new information. In fact, the first 3 are the reasons I left academia. That doesn't mean it's not solid advice.
1. Focus on the key metrics
Research performance is measured on number of papers (and citations), amount of grant money and number of students supervised to graduation. The best thing you can do is focus on raising your numbers in these areas through whatever means possible.
2. Then, focus on papers
When I was involved in recruiting postdocs, the key metric for me was always papers. That's because, in my opinion (and as much as I hate to admit it), it's the best measure of performance. The easiest way to get more papers is to get other people to write them for you. This means expanding your network, which takes time, but is worth it.
3. Specialise
Research – science in particular – rewards people who identify a niche and stay in that niche, building a profile and giving themselves the opportunity to get to the forefront of that particular nano-field. Personally, I think this is one of the biggest problems with what we call academic 'success', and it's one of the reasons why I wasn't 'successful' in science, but it's the truth.
4. Create an online presence
Instead of building a skinny website, work on your LinkedIn profile. This is a great platform, used by recruiters – it has everything you need and nothing that you don't. You can keep building your page through your early career and take it with you when you move between universities. While you're at it, get your Google Citations and Twitter accounts sorted. Make sure you use a good profile picture!

Good Sport Award
Pics of the Week
Sporting excellence celebrated at Sport Pembrokeshire awards evening
The 2017 Sport Pembrokeshire Award Finalists.
Pictures by Pembrokeshire Photography
Head of BBC Wales Sport, Geoff Williams, presents Jacob Thomas with the Lifetime Achievement Award
The achievements and hard work of sportspeople, coaches and volunteers in the county were celebrated at the prestigious Sport Pembrokeshire awards ceremony on Friday – undoubtedly one of the highlights of the local sporting calendar
Now in its 11
year, the gala ceremony at Folly Farm was attended by more than 600 guests, and hosted by sports journalist Bill Carne and Cllr Huw George.
Fourteen award-winners were announced in a variety of categories, together with the winners of two special awards – the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Special Achievement Award.
Paralympian Jacob recognised with 'Lifetime Achievement' award
The winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award was Paralympian and former international Boccia champion, Jacob Thomas of Bethesda near Narberth.
Jacob, aged 23, claimed several international titles and achieved a place in the final sixteen in the London 2012 Summer Paralympics prior to his retirement last year.
Among his successes were the coveted gold medal at the World Student Games in Brazil, the pairs' bronze at the European Championships, and bronze and silver in the World Championships in Beijing.
Jacob was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award by Geoff Williams, Head of Sport at BBC Wales.
He praised Jacob's exceptional achievements and said that he was a 'true champion in every sense of the word'.
"With his extraordinary degree of skill, determination and perseverance, Jacob is quite simply one of the most inspirational figures ever to come before us in the Sport Pembrokeshire Awards," said Geoff.
It was a view shared by the audience, who stayed standing throughout the presentation and during a moving thank you by Jacob's dad Michael.
Marie's fund-raising recognised by the chairman of PCC
The Special Achievement Award, presented by the Chairman of Pembrokeshire County Council, Cllr Paul Harries, was won by Marie Tilley of Narberth.
After her sister and son were diagnosed with diabetes, Marie set up 'Marie's Mission' in 2014, a quest to raise funds to help improve the treatment and diabetes and contribute towards finding a cure.
Since then, she has completed many endurance events, including cycling the punishing La Marmotte in France – 110 miles of mountainous terrain – and raised more than £15,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
She has also set up 'Marie's Marvels' – a running and fitness group comprising more than 30 women – and is currently establishing two further fitness groups for youngsters.
"Her dedication to helping others, while managing her own son's condition, is nothing short of inspirational," said Cllr Harries.
Special recognition for 'amazing' Lily
The awards ceremony also featured a screening of a music video by Tom Fletcher, previously of McFly, featuring the amazing skills of Tenby WCMX champion Lily Rice, winner of the 2016 Junior (U16) Disability Sport Award.
The Sport Pembrokeshire awards were organised by Sport Pembrokeshire, Pembrokeshire County Council's sport development team, which also sponsored the awards together with the Western Telegraph, Valero, Radio Pembrokeshire and Folly Farm.
Sponsors of individual categories included Strength Academy Wales, Arrive Trains Wales, Sport Wales and the Pembrokeshire Youth Service.

San Diego's Pathology has revealed new cover artwork and announced that band's new album will be titled "The Time Of Great Purification." The album is slated for release on September 25th, 2012.
Pathology is wrapping up time in the studio with Daniel Castleman and Lambesis Studios for this third Victory Records release. "This is definitely our heaviest and most technical album to date," states drummer Dave Astor. The upcoming release features artwork by Par Olofsson, creator of the cover art for their last two albums, "Legacy Of The Ancients" (7/06/10) and "Awaken To The Suffering" (9/13/11). The concept is simple: the Doctor is controlling the 2012 apocalypse and destroying the world!

I read somewhere once that for a child's birthday, Christmas, etc. you should gift them something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read. I find this so helpful when I'm shopping for Louis and Judy!
Something they want: So Judy has never actually seen Peppa Pig but my mom got her a pair of PJs for Christmas, just cause she thought they were cute, and Judy LOVED them! She now zeroes in on any and all Peppa so I think this would fit the something they want catergory! Louis, like most boys these days, is next level obsessed with Paw Patrol and both kids really love coloring/crafts so I think these kits are perfect. Plus they are less than $15!
Something to read: Have you guys seen these books? My kids love them! We have these two but I just think they are so great for toddlers and I wanted to spread the word. They are like an interactive pop-up book and the kids love pretending to bake a cake or build.
Something to wear: Can never have too many tees! I just love Judy in red so I would definitely like to snag this one for her. Louis loves Daniel Tiger…I feel like DT isn't crazy popular so it's hard to find this kind of stuff, but I found this one at Old Navy!
Something they need: OK, so I know this doesn't seem like a need but hear me out. 1) The kids have amassed quite a collection of cars, trains, etc. but have had nowhere to play with them…other than my kitchen floor and yeah, no thank you. And 2) I got this table on clearance for $20 at my local Target! Lots of post Christmas clearance going on so please do yourself a favor and check it out!
Obviously all of these gifts would be a bit much just for Valentine's Day but I hope you find this list helpful as you shop around for the little Valentines in your life!

"I have been hooked by perfect world games for years now. The free to play model works for me and I only pay for the things I want. I have spent more money that I thought I would but that has all been by my choice."
Scott D. posted on 3/8/2014
"The reason I am giving arc games 5 stars is how they developed their games to be free to level up but getting you to pay for items that are more for personal reasons than for gameplay."

PSM900 Cue Mode - Limiter defeat?FAQ #3725
Question:Is there a method to defeat the limiter when using Cue Mode on the P9R?
Look in the P9T transmitter Utility menu; there is a sub-menu called Rx (Receiver) Setup. In Rx Setup mode, one can set the P9T to send specific data to the P9R receiver upon syncing. For example, the P9T can instruct the P9R to activate or deactivate the P9R limiter, and to set the P9R limiter value.
Another option is to "keep" the settings already stored in a P9R.
Whether syncing an individual receiver pack or loading multiple frequencies into a Cue Mode list, all the parameters from a P9T's "RX Setup" menu will be stored. These will not be accessible from the P9R receiver while in Cue Mode, and they revert back to the transmitter settings whenever the receiver enters Cue Mode.

Where have all the female-oriented movies gone? Gone to TV, every one. Made-for-television movies tend to feature the "relationships, feelings, communication" themes that Shirley MacLaine and many others (myself included) would like to see.
Unless they are very special, "relationship" movies will continue to be commercial failures. A moviegoer's unkindest cut of all is the lament, "It seemed like the kind of movie I could have seen on TV."
Where would yesterday's female stars such as Carole Lombard, Bette Davis and Doris Day be today? Most likely, starring in TV movies of the week.

I since found these and give these a thumbs up... "SEA TO SUMMIT ULTRA FLEX WATER BOOTIES" can be found online at americankiteboarding.com and probably elsewhere. That's where I bought them.
OzBungy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 12:59 pm5 Fingers are absolute crap for kitesurfing. The soles are too stiff so they don't fit nicely into straps or pads.
They don't come up far enough on your ankle so sand and shell grit get in. It is extremely painful when it works down between your toes.
I am perfectly happy with any of the standard surf booties available. They work fine. I like a low cut boot with a fairly high ankle so I can tuck my wetsuit in and cinch the craw cord snug. That keeps sand and stuff out and stops water running up the leg of the wetsuit.
I avoid boots with drain holes. The holes let in sand. I also avoid split toes because the fabric tears. You can get hidden split, or hard joined splits that last fairly well.

In an earlier post, I wrote about the 6 key issues arising from the MACC Amendment Bill. The Bill introduced corporate liability for corruption offences. The Amendment Bill has now been gazetted on 4 May 2018 as the MACC Amendment Act 2018. However, this Act has not been brought into force yet.
I set out certain thoughts on how companies can already prepare for the coming into force of the corporate liability provisions under the MACC Amendment Act 2018. Continue reading

We are leading a new international initiative to conduct scientific drilling within the San Andreas fault zone at depths of up to 10 km. This project is motivated by the need to understand the physical and chemical processes operating within the fault zone and to answer fundamental questions about earthquake generation along major plate-boundary faults. Through a comprehensive program of coring, fluid sampling, downhole measurements, laboratory experimentation, and long-term monitoring, we hope to obtain critical information on the structure, composition, mechanical behavior and physical state of the San Andreas fault system at depths comparable to the nucleation zones of great earthquakes. The drilling, sampling and observational requirements needed to ensure the success of this project are stringent. These include: 1) drilling stable vertical holes to depths of about 9 km in fractured rock at temperatures of up to 300°C; 2) continuous coring and completion of inclined holes branched off these vertical boreholes to intersect the fault at depths of 3, 6, and 9 km; 3) conducting sophisticated borehole geophysical measurements and fluid/rock sampling at high temperatures and pressures; and 4) instrumenting some or all of these inclined core holes for continuous monitoring of earthquake activity, fluid pressure, deformation and other parameters for periods of up to several decades. For all of these tasks, because of the overpressured clay-rich formations anticipated within the fault zone at depth, we expect to encounter difficult drilling, coring and hole-completion conditions in the region of greatest scientific interest.

Our pet foster parents provide temporary, in-home care for rescue dogs and puppies until they are adopted. In addition to love and affection, the foster parent provides basic care for the animals such as food, water, and shelter. When fostering a dog, the pet foster parent may teach them basic house manners. The pet foster parent may also be asked to transfer the foster animal to adoption events or to have potential adopters visit the foster animal in their home. In the event that the foster animal needs veterinary care, or becomes ill or injured, the foster parent may be required to transport the animal to a designated veterinary hospital or office.
We can only rescue as many dogs as we have room for. Local humane societies euthanize dozens of healthy and friendly animals each day due to limited holding space. Not only do foster parents maximize the number of animals rescued, they also help care for animals that would be difficult to care for in a shelter or kennel environment such as puppies with immune systems not strong enough to fight germs, those recovering from surgery, or dogs needing a little extra one-on-one human time to work on behavioral rehabilitation.
How long is a foster period?
It is impossible to predict how long an animal will remain in foster care. Some dogs are adopted within 24 hours where others may take several months.
Many of our dogs just need a quite home while recovering from spay/neuter surgery or a place to stay when they first leave the shelter. Some foster parents simply "fill-in" temporarily for those out of town or away on vacation. The length of your commitment is entirely up to you.
HOW much does it cost to foster a pet?
All veterinary care is paid for by Richmond Ruff House. Additional food, toys and treats will be supplied as available. Crates will also be available to borrow during your foster period.
Before you bring a foster animal home, consult with your veterinarian to make sure your own pets are up-to date on their vaccinations. You may also wish to ask your veterinarian if your pets need any additional vaccinations.
can i adopt the dog i foster?
YES. Foster parents who wish to adopt the animal they foster go through the same screening process as adoption applicants.
HOW do i become a foster parent?
Simply CLICK HERE to complete our quick Volunteer Application and one of our staff members will call you back to discuss the best fit for you.
The adoption fee is $195 for dogs and puppies.
What does the adoption fee cover?
The adoption fee helps pay for vaccinations (DHPP, Bordetella and Rabies), spay/neuter surgery, heartworm test (for dogs over 6 months), fecal check, microchip ID, food and any other medical treatment required while in our care.
do i have to have a fenceD-IN-Yard to adopt?
No. Although a fenced yard is ideal for exercise and safety, we also believe it is just as important to take your dog for a stroll through the neighborhood or your local dog park. Not having a fenced yard, or living in an apartment, will NOT disqualify you from adopting. However, it may limit the type of breed that would be suitable for your home. Our staff will work with you to make sure you have the right dog to meet both your and their needs.

Kansas Attorney General: Officer's Shooting Death 'Senseless'
Kansas' top law enforcement official says the state mourns the "senseless" shooting death of a Kansas City police detective.
Attorney General Derek Schmidt said in a statement Tuesday that he extends his prayers to the family of 39-year-old Brad Lancaster's family and to Lancaster's former colleagues.
Police say Lancaster died at a hospital Monday about three hours after being shot while responding to a report of a suspicious person near a racetrack.
A suspect, 28-year-old Curtis Ayers, was arrested after being shot by police during an attempted carjacking after he crashed another car. He was in stable condition Tuesday at a hospital.

The last 3 decades have witnessed a consistent growth in the number of online casinos. This has been mainly due to innovative technologies that have been made courtesy of the internet age. Likewise, gaming companies like Bayton Ltd and MT Secure Trade Ltd have stepped up their activities in order to match the ever-increasing demand for mobile gaming. New casinos 2016, particularly reached new levels in terms of gaming traffic and huge bonuses extended to players. With fully mobile compatibility features, these casinos took the online gaming bars a notch higher.
Examples Of New Online Casinos 2016
Luna Casino is a good example of new casinos 2016. It is a multi-software site that sources its games from renowned suppliers like NextGen and NetEnt amongst others.

Payment Options And Customer Support
New casinos 2016 as described above were faced with unprecedented competition from their peers. With such a scenario, they tried to attract clients with convenient payment options which are not only cheaper but also faster. Most of them adopted the use of MasterCard and Visa credit and debit cards which guarantee timeless access to your games package. Also, e-wallets like Skrill, Neteller, and PayPal were widely accepted due to their faster cash out processes and instant deposits.
Customer support services are crucial not only in web-based businesses but also in all other market establishments. The 2016 new casinos offered and continue to offer instant feedback to their clients via live chats. But perhaps, before using the live chat, you can make the use of a FAQs page which might definitely answer a number of questions you might be having. There are official email addresses through which you can reach your favorite casino and get answers to all your questions.
A Summary Of New Online Casinos In 2018
2016 was really a busy gaming year, at least going by the number of new casinos that were established.

Likewise, customers were afforded varied banking options some of which include super-fast e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller.


text: Liam McKiernan – Grimsby 07 Saturday Jul 2018 Posted by Author in Lincolnshire ≈ Comments Off on Liam McKiernan – Grimsby July 2018 Wanted – can you help find man on the run after abusing 14-year-old girl The area's most wanted man Liam McKiernan is being hunted by police after he failed to turn up at court to be sentenced for three charges of sexual activity with a child. But McKiernan, 30, who also uses the surname Brown, has been spotted by the mother of his victim in the street near to where she lives with her daughter. At Grimsby Crown Court he was bailed to an address at Brereton Avenue, Grimsby. Judge Graham Reeds QC issued a warrant not backed for bail after he failed to attend court on Monday. He had admitted three charges of sexual activity with a 14 year old girl, three years ago. But the mother of the teenage girl alleged he had breached bail conditions by visiting her street. She also claimed he had breached bail conditions by being out late at night and followed her to her door. She is distressed that the warrant for his arrest has not been successful and he is still on the run. "I could not believe he was bailed in the first place. He has not been living at the bail address and has been going out all over the place. He needs catching. "When I contacted police to find out if he had been arrested and told them he was continuing to terrify us, they just said we should keep our doors and windows locked or moved in with another relative. But I have not slept. Every noise I hear puts me in panic. They suggest we move out but we have done no wrong. We have suffered enough as a family. "They need to be going round and getting him because my daughter is at risk. He has been brazen enough to be in the next street to us. "He has been going out in taxis and I am sure a taxi driver knows where he is. He is walking about as if nothing has happened. I am convinced someone is hiding him." She told how her daughter suffers from post traumatic stress disorder and regularly visits a mental health professional. The mum said: "If anything happened to my daughter I would hold them responsible. "It has destroyed our lives. I want justice so that he doesn't do this to anybody else." The teenage victim, who must not be identified by law, told GrimsbyLive she had hoped the sentencing had gone ahead on Monday and he had faced justice. "Not until that has happened can I move on with my life. I just want to lead a normal happy life. I am hoping to go to college in September. I still suffer flashbacks and nightmares and can't sleep. "All I want to do is get my head down and train to be a solicitor. I like doing art but my life has been in a rut for three years." Her mother told how her daughter had been sent messages by McKiernan, who was getting her to send naked photos of herself. He had also suggested he would take her away from her home to live elsewhere. That led to sexual activity when she was just 14 years old. In court his defence barrister said McKiernan had not attended court and he could not oppose a warrant for his arrest. He was jailed in March 2016 for 18 months offences of fraud in which he had tried to claim back a tax refund. The total amount that McKiernan tried to claim back was £51,623, including for roofing work. He admitted to three offences of sexual activity with a child and was due to be sentenced at Grimsby Crown Court on Monday. Share this:FacebookTwitterLinkedInReddit Related

Advanced Search
A real enabler is the industry's standardization on Java middleware and platforms,
which has allowed a more vibrant component market to grow. There was a time
when an inventor with an algorithm needed to program a system from the ground
up. Lately we have seen rules engines and the like that plug into Java app servers
bought off the shelf.
To look at a single example: Advanced Software Inc., in business since 1986,
has a patent on an apparatus and method for comparing data groups. The work
is embodied in its DocumComp Comparison engine. And this is in technology that
is, in turn, at the heart of one of those useful doodads most of us have yet
to uncover in Microsoft Word. This fall, Percussion Software said it would integrate
DocuComp into its Rhythmyx Content Manager. Advanced Software also announced
that the San Francisco-based non-profit Internet Archive licensed DocuComp to
compare Web pages on its Wayback Machine Web site archive (http://www.archive.org).
What is inside DocuComp? Said Advanced Software CTO Chuck Grasso: "It
is a multitasking algorithm that uses iterative refinement" to compare
documents at ever-finer levels of granularity. The engine interfaces with Java,
said Grasso, who noted that the system can compare about 20,000 pages per minute.
Agents and algorithms coda: Rules-based systems have enjoyed a few incarnations,
but being the "keeper of the rules" has never been a sound job path.
That is an inhibitor. Is a rule an improvement on a present solution? Usually,
the good ones are successful only as encapsulations of corporate wisdom that
have already been acquired, but deft implementation of such formulas can save
money for companies. The problems good algorithms solve are the most common
problems; thus, they have far-reaching effect. Savvy ISVs that can spot talent
are the best at exploiting such solutions, and mature platforms are now ready
to help in this endeavor. But Web services could change that: Think of how Google
or Amazon.com changed your workday; then think about connecting up via public
SOAP APIs.

strong, sensitive hands are those of a European studying Massage
Traditional Thai Massage or 'Nuad Boran' needs no introduction. If you are interested in Baan Hom Samunphrai and have arrived at this point in our website, you certainly won't need to be persuaded of its value. Instead we have chosen a few images taken very recently of Maw Hom and her assistants at work in Chiang Mai, both at her own School and at 'The Association of Licensed Thai Traditional Healers' where she teaches the growing number of Thai Maw Nuads (Traditional Medicine Therapists) preparing for the new Ministry of Public Health exams. These happy therapists learned to do massage in the family when they were children, but still they have to study hard to get their government licenses.
Maw Hom teaching Thai therapists at the Mothers and Children hospital in Chiang Mai. No oil, no special attire, no equipment, no music, not even cotton sheets on the thin mats on this Clinic floor. What's special. on the other hand, is the ease and sense of well-being so obvious in these professional healers preparing for the new Thai Ministry of Public Health exams.
At Baan Hom Samunphrai, Thai Traditional Massage is at its purest and most authentic. We offer three forms: the technically rigorous 'Foot Massage' which takes about an hour, the 'Full Set' which takes about two hours, and the Full Therapeutic Massage which is open-ended and may last anywhere from thirty minutes to two hours or more depending on your needs, your flexibility, and the stage of your injury or problem -- Maw Hom offers diagnostic sessions for those with special health problems. Manipulation of the so-called 'acupressure points' and 'energy lines,' for example, is not part of the ordinary Thai Massage, and many foreigners will not have experienced this kind of massage before.
Foot Massage is an elaborate ritual as well as a profound healing strategy--it is particularly poignant in those hot places in the world where shoes are left outside the door (look on the left and you'll see!). Here the massage therapist is 'Bang,' Maw Hom's sister-in-law -- her two little children, Up and Pop, spice up any activity at Baan Hom Samunphrai!
On the right Acharn
Bang (in green) is teaching Foot Reflexology in a 5 day workshop in
her studio beside our pond. The work requires great concentration, and
you obviously must be able to see what she's doing, so her classes are
restricted to a maximum of 6. Ajarn Bang has designed our Reflexology
Notebook with its 243 photos taken by her husband, Vichian Chaleekanha,
and has also made a 40 minute Demonstration DVD -- she has been showing
it to these students on the iMac just behind her.
Even with our January 1st, 2017 fee increases our charges remain low,
and we do hope our clients will understand just how important it is to
tip our therapists. If a massage is supposed to take about 2 hours and
your therapist works on you for 3 or more, which frequently happens
here, you ought to think of giving a very good tip directly to the
therapist. (If you can't afford more, no one will criticize you, and
a heart-felt wai is very good too. On the other hand, if you can
afford it, don't stint.)
"Homprang is a serious teacher, protective of what she knows without being mean or pretentious. The courses at Baan Hom are open to anyone who would like to learn and can be as short as a week or as long as a few months. They also run the gamut of Homprang's inherited and studied knowledge as a herbalist, midwife, and massage therapist. It seemed possible she could eradicate pain with her eyeballs."

This is the place where my Baffin Island 2014 adventure started. The boat transported me together with my gear from Pangnirtung to the end of the fjord, near the Overlord Mountain. This spot that is located just steps away from the Arctic Circle marks the beginning of my solo journey.
I got there late in the afternoon and was forced to spend a night in this area. After I set up my camp for the night, I decided to take the opportunity of the upcoming sunset and took my first Arctic shots. The light coming from the fjord created the impression of a welcoming invitation to the unknown.

What you need in your wedding photography contract
- License to all your engagement and wedding pictures, so you can use them in cards, and reprint them.
- Copies of your pictures on a CD or flash drive in high resolution so you can enlarge them to whatever size you want. How many copies and how you will receive them? Prints, albums, gallery wraps, enlarged photos, thank you cards etc. Is an engagement shoot part of the package? How will you receive those photos? – It is also important to discuss how many pictures you can expect to get in your final CD.
- An estimate of when you will receive your photos 6-8 weeks, 3-4 months etc. How many changes/tweaks are allowed. What is the estimated design time as well as the production time.
- What are the parameters and costs for timings if you go over or start at a later time on the day of your wedding.
- If the photographer should fall ill, what is the contingency plan? A refund in this case would not suffice. Are they going to provide another photography of equal skill?
- BONUS TIP: Ask how will you protect my photos long term? Will you store them?
We love the questions and answers that Symbol Photo has on their site to educate couple's on wedding photography. Click here.
