Are you worried about becoming the victim of a plumbing scam? If this is the kind of thing that has been happening quite often in the area, you may be concerned that you will have this problem when looking for a professional plumber to help you with your plumbing fixtures. No one deserves to be scammed by people who cannot do the job properly or are trying to charge a ridiculous amount for something minor, which is why it is crucial for you to know how to avoid plumbing scams by all means necessary.
Do Your Research
According to Singapore Plumber Expert, the best way to avoid getting scammed is to do as much research as you possibly can before you go ahead with hiring someone to come into your home and help out with the plumbing fixtures. You should look up the company and find out as much about them as you can. It should not take much effort to find out how long the company has been in business as well as finding out about the different services they provide. You should attempt to look for feedback that others have left for the plumbing company to find out if other people have been scammed or if they have had their plumbing problems handled efficiently, promptly, and at a reasonable price.
Ask to See a Licence
You do not have to do business with anyone who makes you feel uncomfortable. If you ask to see the business licence of a plumber and he or she refuses to show it to you, do not allow the individual to continue providing services. You need to make sure you are only hiring a licenced and insured plumber who knows how to properly handle the different plumbing-related tasks inside of your home. If you hire someone that does not have a licence and is inexperienced, you could end up with more plumbing problems than you ever had in the very beginning.
Pay Attention to the Estimate
For GroffPlumbing, when you are having plumbing work done, you should ask for an estimate so that you know how much money you will need to put out to receive the services you are going to receive. However, if the amount is constantly changing and the plumber keeps increasing the price, you may want to think about getting a second opinion from a different plumber. Some plumbers use the tactic of increasing the asking price just to get as much money out of their customers as possible, which is simply an unfair and inconsiderate practise.
If you want to avoid getting scammed, do your research before you ever pick up the phone to contact a plumber and get more information from someone working for the plumbing company. Always ask to see a business licence to make sure that the plumber you hire has one. And, pay attention to the estimate. If it keeps going up, you may have a scam-like situation on your hands. Now that you are aware of how to avoid scams, you may feel more at ease when hiring a professional to help with the plumbing work in your home.

New Year's Resolutions are generally stupid and completely ineffective, so of course I made a New Year's Resolution to be less stupid in 2018. It turned out to be a catastrophic failure last weekend after I ignored Titch, Gawn and Stef and stuck the captaincy on Fyfe. I also managed to leave McLean and Rockliff on the bench, while Liam Ryan and Stefan Giro were on the field. Can anyone beat that litany of idiocy? Personal rant over!
So, trades. It appears we need a replacement for Nathan Fyfe this week, and there seem to be a wide range of candidates for the role.
Here are the most popular trade ins, as of 12pm AEST, Tuesday July 3:
1. Andrew Gaff (WCE, mid, $524 200)
+ The perennially under-rated Gaff has been quietly brilliant in 2018, taking up the slack left by midfield maestros Priddis and Mitchell. Most recently, he racked up a team-high 136 points from 37 possessions at the Adelaide Oval in a tough loss to the Crows. Averaging 109 for the season.
+ 11 tons in 14 games this season is a testament to his consistency, which has helped Gaff boost his average by 16 points per game from last season. Possibly a smokey in a wide open race for the Brownlow.
+ His season-low 74 against the Swans drops out of his cycle this week, putting his break-even at just 63. Did someone order a Fyfe replacement?
– His outside style of footy makes him somewhat susceptible to a tag, with that 74 I mentioned coming in a game where Hannebery was running with him. I think we all know what Hanners' form has been like this year, so that is definitely a mark against Gaff's name.
– As good as he is, Gaff has only averaged over 100 once in seven previous seasons, so it's that whole "reversion to the mean" argument again. Can Gaff keep this run of scoring going?
2. Justin Westhoff (PTA, mid/fwd, $507 700)
+ I brought him in last week, and in a pleasant change for the Champs, he actually played a great game! 120 points from 19 possessions (16 kicks), with two goals, and chipping in with 7 hitouts.
+ Westhoff's biggest weapon is his incredible versatility. Can't get the ball forward? Swing him back. Ryder needs a rest? Stick Hoff in the ruck. Or just let him run up and down the wide expanses of the AO wings. No matter what form Westhoff takes, it seems to be Supercoach friendly!
+ That DPP status is incredibly handy at this time of year. Who knows, maybe Champion Data will be really nice to us next year, and give Hoff ruck status as well???
– This sounds really trivial, but there's something about watching Westhoff kick the footy that makes me nervous, especially in front of goal. Fellow owners will know what I'm talking about! You'll be on the edge of your seat every time he puts boot to ball.
– See "negative point 2" for Gaff, except the Hoff has never averaged over 100 in ELEVEN seasons. Not many players have their best ever season at 31 years of age – can Westhoff continue to buck the trend?
3. Toby McLean (WBD, mid/fwd, $438 500)
+ McLean had an inevitable mid-season slump in his breakout year, but showed promising signs of a rebound in the Dogs win over the Cats. 25 disposals and 11 tackles for 104 points, his first ton in a month.
+ Those 11 tackles are actually crucial. McLean only managed a total of 9 tackles in his previous three games, and averaged 67 ppg in that stretch. Pressure is the buzzword here!
+ He's the second-highest scoring forward this year, and his price tag is WHAT? Get it done, right now. Break-even of 78 this week.
– McLean is renowned amongst teammates for his toughness, but he has copped his share of knocks this year, most notably in the opening stages of the game against Port courtesy of Robbie Gray. Hopefully he can keep on truckin' until the end of the season!
– Still pretty raw, and with the Dogs set to miss the finals, Beveridge may decide to give Toby a rest anyway at some stage.
4. Patrick Dangerfield (GEE, mid, $556 800)
+ Dangerfield hasn't dominated in trademark fashion this year – he's a despised outsider for the Brownlow at 25/1 – and yet he's averaging 113 ppg and is a top 5 midfielder. Most players can only dream of having a 'shocking' year like Danger!
+ Danger's 31 disposals against the Bulldogs is the first time he's recorded 30+ possies in a game since round 3, positive signs?
+ Has scored less than 100 in exactly one game so far this season. Any more questions?
– If you're a Cats fan, or among the 38% of coaches with Danger in their team, you'll have been incredibly frustrated watching the fourth quarter against the Dogs. The game is on the line and Patty barely leaves the F50, WTF??!!!
– It's an fairly petty complaint, but Danger has lost the ceiling he showed in previous seasons, with no scores above 140 so far. He has been super consistent, but maybe he's not the amazing captaincy option he once was?
5. Jacob Dawson (GCS, mid, $102 400)
+ Dawson backed up his 51 on debut with a 17 possession, 59 point effort against the Pies putting him on the bubble with a break-even of -47.
+ The Suns' injury list means the rookie-listed teenager looks good for an extended run. With Hall out for the season, Barlow out indefinitely, and Hanley still a few weeks away, hopefully Dew maintains the youth policy!
+ There are really only two viable bubble boys this week – Dawson and Brayden Ainsworth. Dawson is cheaper and has far better job security…it's a no-brainer.
– My impression is that the two 50's Dawson has scored so far are going to be pretty typical of his output. Hopefully he's just a cash builder, and you're not relying on him to score too many points for you!
– The Suns have had a revolving door installed on their dressing shed this season. While Dawson has been very solid, the likes of Will Brodie and Kade Kolodjashnij are shining in the NEAFL, and must be pressing for a promotion.
#6 – 10: Brayden SIER (COL), Patrick CRIPPS (CAR), Josh KELLY (GWS), Quinton NARKLE (GEE), Josh P. KENNEDY (SYD)
Most traded OUT players this week: Nathan FYFE (FRE), Matt GUELFI (ESS), Logan AUSTIN (STK), Charlie SPARGO (MEL), Bayley FRITSCH (MEL), Ed PHILLIPS (STK), Adam TRELOAR (COL), Timothy SMITH (MEL), Nicholas HOLMAN (BCS), Dustin MARTIN (RIC)

After all for Daniel Craig's protests and rather clear disgust towards the role, he's coming back again as James Bond in the fifth rendition of his role in the series. He confirmed it last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (via The Hollywood Reporter). He stated there that yes, he's known for "a couple months" now and that "we've been discussing it, we've just been trying to figure things out."
Craig also told Colbert that he has always wanted to return to the role, he just "needed a break." He gave confirmation that this role would also be his last as James Bond and that he wanted to "go out on a high note."
Apparently Craig was purposely saving the announcement for Colbert, despite earlier reports stating that the role was as yet unconfirmed. Craig issued an apology to those who interviewed him earlier, which is nice of him.
If you're wondering about the whole Craig saying that he'd "rather break this glass and slash my wrists" than return to the role of James Bond, he did refer to that too. He stated that "there's no point in making excuses" and that the interview had occurred only two days after finishing Spectre. Noting that he was understandably exhausted and very much done with anything to do with James Bond. Craig admits that it was "a really stupid answer" and he shouldn't have said it.
So it seems Craig is a little more optimistic about the role of James Bond than we thought. Though I have the distinct feeling he wasn't kidding and he really is doing it for the money. The films he's starred in have grossed over $1 million, so hopefully that success is translated to the actor as well.
The as yet untitled James Bond film is slated for a November 8, 2019 release date.

Any and all questions and concerns can be filed in tripilicate with HR at
extension 4586758§∞bl68
FOUCS & Goals!
productivity is Life
This year we celebrate our company's founding!
300 years ago Solomon Thurston Banner took the reins of the old Earthican Oil and Gas company DrillsAll Incorporated. This brave visionary was not satisfied with only the aquistion and distribution of fossil fuels and minerals, but he knew that the greatest resource the Galaxy would ever know is access to information.
During the Great Truth Wars, the illustrous Banner was able to merge DrillsAll Incorporated with Info Corp.the planet's most prominent media corporation at the time.
Under his firm hand the Multimedia Energy Conglomerate grew strong enough to form its own system of government, eventually replacing all forms of governance planet wide, graciously providing our ancestors with their every need.
Under the velvet iron leadership of the Banner family The Bannerflex Corporation has provided the Galaxy with steady employment opportunities for 14 generations. Today we salute their work ethic and commitment to its employees.
There will be a Founder's day celebration broadcast live over Bannerflex space. And customary cake cubes will be available in Houmon Resources for all crewmembers. Please check your inboxes for your staggered celebration appointments.
The B.M.S.S. Antioch was the first ship in the Bannerflex fleet to achieve nearly complete staffing autonomy. Utilizing the practice of communal parentage and need-based breeding,. we've been able to sustain our ranks with minimal need for corporate oversight for nearly 75 years!
Way to go TEAM!
Distorbia Nebulae Red Alert Reminder:
*At approximately 13:25 we will be passing back through the Distorbia Nebulae. While technically harmless, the particular mixture of gasses does cause mild to moderate psychosis and severe hallucinations. Please be reminded that any murderous visions of the dead are simply that, VISIONS.
*Please do not follow their instructions. Murder is still frowned upon aboard the Antioch.
This week is take children to work week. This is not a request. If you see any children, all crewmembers are required to grab them by the scruff of their necks and take them to your post. Show them your job, and train them well. For after all, they will one day be your replacement.
Congratulations to Belix Drixen. The youngest ratchet technician the Antioch as ever had! At only 7 years old she's has proved to be a valuable contuibutor to the engineering workforce for hopefully many decades to come.

Vampire Weekend injecting African music into their silly art-rock is cute and all—but the way Malian blues-rockers Tinariwen can turn desert guitars into a crunching, electric, highly political chug-pop is downright stunning. The saga of Tinariwen frontman Ibrahim Ag Alhabib and guitarist Hassan Ag Touhami spans five decades and makes the most hardscrabble rocker's life story look like Columbia dorm chatter: playing weddings as exiles in Libya in the '70s, training under Ghadaffi's military, writing musical molotovs for the Tuareg rebellion in the '80s, and spreading their message like desert troubadours throughout the '90s.

Kitchen Base Cabinets a popular choice for kitchen because the color is very neutral and complements a range of other finishes. However, I am also quite easy and can easily be colored by the subjects that a kitchen is repeatedly exposed to. Even if you clean your cabinet regularly, stains can become obliterated with the time taken away with simple household wood paint. When this happens, lacquering your oak cabinets with a matching gel stain can be the best option. Cover the colored cabinets, drawer faces, and double-layered cabinet doors, wait 48 hours, and install all wood pieces and hardware.
Remove the screws that hold the gaps and drawer fronts with a screwdriver; even removed hardware and set it aside. Put these on top of a large, thick tarp. Line around the edges of the Kitchen Base Cabinets themselves with the painter's tape to protect the walls and cover counters with more covers or magazine-proofed tape. Clean all of wood with disodium phosphate cleaners. This cleanser removes seals as well as grease, dirt and other muck on the cabinet. Remove excess detergent with wet rags and wipe the entire wood well with towels. Sand cabinet bodies, drawer fronts and doors evenly with 150-grit sandpaper. Remove any remaining sealer and sand all areas; all wood surfaces should appear cloudy. Clean up the area with a store vacuum.
Dip a clean white cloth to chemical de-Glosser. Apply de-Glosser throughout, grind the wood in a generous, and even layer. Let de-greases sit undisturbed for an hour and wipe any excess with another clean white cloth. Apply the oak-colored gel stain to Kitchen Base Cabinets, drawer fronts and doors with a 2-inch white china brush. Paint stain on short, straight lines that move just in one direction. Do not make the layer of color too thick. Only dip the edges of the breast in the stain and use circular motions to melt any defined seams into the stain on the wood. Lightly patch the wood with more clean white cloths to pick up the excess stain so that it does not create the badge marks. Allow the stain to dry for 24 hours.

The full Pink Moon peaks this weekend on Sunday, April 29, at 8:58 p.m. EDT (0058 GMT on April 30), offering a fine view for after-dinner skywatchers in the eastern U.S.
New Yorkers will see the nearly full moon rise at 7:31 p.m. EDT. The moon and sun will share the sky for a short time, because the sun sets over New York about 20 minutes after moonrise. Farther south, the two bodies will be visible in the sky together for an even shorter time; Miami observers will see moonrise at 7:41 p.m. EDT and sunset at 7:50 p.m. EDT, according to timeanddate.com.
For casual observers, the moon looks pretty full a day before and after the actual full phase, which is defined as when the moon is exactly on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. The timing of the full moon's appearance depends on where the moon is in its orbit around the Earth; this is why the actual time of the full moon can be in daylight for certain locations. [The Moon: 10 Surprising Facts]
In addition, the moon's orbit isn't perfectly circular; it's a bit elliptical, so the interval between full moons isn't perfectly regular.
The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the moon's visible face is illuminated by the sun.
Credit: Space.com
The phases of the moon occur because we see our satellite from different perspectives as it revolves around the Earth. When the moon is 90 degrees to the left or right of the imaginary line connecting the Earth and sun, the satellite is half-illuminated. This is called a quarter moon, because the moon is a quarter of the way around its orbit.
A careful observer might see the moon move east about a half a degree, or one moon diameter, per hour on any given night. This is because the satellite is relatively close to Earth as astronomical objects go. Over the course of a 12-hour night, that's 6 degrees, which can take the moon right out of one constellation and into another. [How to Measure Distances in the Night Sky]
About a week before the full moon, the Lyrid meteor shower will occur, peaking overnight on April 22-23. The moon will be at first quarter at that time and will set by midnight, leaving the sky darker and better for meteor watching. A few stray meteors are visible on any night, and even a week after a meteor shower peaks, some stragglers can still be seen. However, on a night with a full moon it is much harder to see them, because the moon's light washes out fainter objects.
On the day of the full moon, several naked-eye planets will also be visible, though not at the same time. Venus will be about 21.7 degrees above the horizon for New York City, according to heavens-above.com calculations. The planet rises at 7:19 a.m. EDT, when the sun is already in the sky (sunrise will be at 5:57 a.m. EDT). Venus will set below the horizon at 10:03 p.m. EDT, roughly 2 hours after sunset. This planet is the third-brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon, so it should be easy to spot just south of due west.
Jupiter will rise at 8:31 p.m. EDT, followed by Saturn at 12:24 a.m. EDT (on April 30) and Mars at 1:28 a.m. EDT. Both planets are going to be bright enough to compete with even a full moon (or city lights). In the predawn hours (between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. local time), Saturn and Mars will be relatively high in the sky. The two planets will be between 18 and 25 degrees above the horizon in New York City. Farther south, they'll appear even higher in the sky.
As for the moon, it will be in the constellation Libra, along with Jupiter. Libra is a faint constellation and is not very visible from most urban locations, but the moon and Jupiter will be relatively close together in the sky, marking the spot. (The full moon tends to overwhelm many stars in Libra in any case).
To the east of both the moon and Jupiter, one can see the star Spica, which is the brightest star in Virgo. A similar configuration occurred during April's full moon last year, but this time, the moon and Jupiter won't be as close together as they were then.
April's full moon is known as the Pink Moon, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The name comes from pink flowers that bloom in the early spring, known as ground phlox. This month's full moon has also been called the full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and the Fish Moon.
For most of human history, the moon was largely a mystery. It spawned awe and fear and to this day is the source of myth and legend. But today we know a lot about our favorite natural satellite.
This year, Easter fell on April 1, because of the Blue Moon on March 31 — the second full moon in March. Usually, April's full moon marks the time of Easter and Passover. Easter is always observed on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring, known as the Paschal Moon. Theravada Buddhist traditions use the full moon of April to mark the new year; this version of the new year is widely celebrated in Thailand, Myanmar and Sri Lanka.
The Māori people of New Zealand had a different tradition for their April moons, because in the Southern Hemisphere, April is in the fall. They called the April moon "Paenga-whāwhā," describing the month as a time when, "All straw is now stacked at the borders of the plantations," according to The Encyclopedia of New Zealand.

This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius
The Washington Post website has a useful database, where you can check up on all your Senators and Representatives and see who voted how on which issues. The link to this one, HR 3222, Making Appropriations for the Department of Defense for the Fiscal Year Ending September 20, 2008, and for Other Purposes, arrived in my e-mail inbox a few hours ago.
Not only can you see how many Republicans and how many Democrats voted for or against a bill, but you can sort them by state or gender, both possibly useful information, and by boomer status, which doesn't strike me as useful so much as interesting.
And yes it's true, you can even sort by astrological sign. Congress as internet dating site. Fitting, somehow.
You can skip all the stuff in the middle if you want, but I did like the end of the video.

Re the video: Ouch!
I'm amazed how many (in)famous people in the House, both D and R, did not vote on the "Protect America Act". I'm particularly surprised that the loud-mouthed, um, outspoken Tom Tancredo and... shock... Ron Paul did not vote.
Thanks for the link. I can see this as a good complement to the Thomas site.

i did actually look at doing something like that last night, august, because lies, damn lies, and statistics are just plain fun. plus, i've had some advanced training in all of it.

Turkey takes strong action to reduce antibiotic consumption and resistance
Consumption of antibiotics in Turkey is among the highest across the WHO European Region, and antibiotic use is a major driver of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). To address this growing problem, Turkish health authorities have implemented a number of integrated interventions with WHO guidance and support. As a result, preliminary data show a declining trend in overall consumption.
Infection prevention and control: The Ministry of Health of Turkey supports hand hygiene to prevent AMR. Hand hygiene trainings are available in hospitals, and health workers' compliance with hand hygiene is monitored. Hand hygiene is included in the Quality Standards in Health, the national accreditation system of Turkey.
Innovation: A new electronic prescription system has been developed to monitor and control the use of antibiotics. The system tracks prescription data and provides feedback to physicians. Turkey is a member of the WHO Antimicrobial Medicines Consumption Network, and its data comply with WHO international standards.
Surveillance: Turkey is among the countries that have pioneered AMR surveillance in the Region. The AMR surveillance system, introduced in 2011, has been strengthened over time and today counts 118 laboratories in its network.
Turkey is a member of the Central Asian and Eastern European Surveillance on Antimicrobial Resistance (CAESAR) network, a joint initiative of WHO/Europe and partners to survey, contain and prevent AMR emergence and spread. CAESAR data complement those collected in the European Union through the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) to enable data reporting that covers all countries of the Region. Since 2013, data from Turkey have been classified as high quality and reliable.
Policy: Drawing on surveillance data and WHO recommendations, Turkey developed its Rational Drug Use National Action Plan 2014–2017, which prioritizes the proper use of antibiotics. To operationalize the Plan locally, dedicated entities were established in 81 provinces with 500 staff working on advocacy initiatives.
Awareness-raising: WHO/Europe and Public Health England (PHE) made available a new Turkish version of Antibiotic Guardian, a web-based campaign initiated by PHE in 2014. Antibiotic Guardian urges everyone to pledge to make better use of antibiotics and help save these vital medicines from becoming obsolete. So far, more than 50 000 people have pledged their support and become Antibiotic Guardians.

Reading Susanne Holschbach's's essay The Pose: Its Troubles and Pleasures in Street and Studio (1) began a chain of thought about the evolution of the pose in portrait photography. In the nineteenth century photographic practices, especially in portraiture, were a continuation of the, then, contemporary trends in painting. There was a desire to create photographs that imitated paintings and by adopting these styles and traditions the early photographers, perhaps stung by the perception of their practice as science rather than art, hoped to appropriate the status and credibility of the artist painter. But there were other factors in play including the influence of a number of painters who had turned to photography as the medium developed (i) and a level of cross fertilisation with nineteenth century painters such as William Powell Frith (2) who used photographs as aide-memoires or, as in the case of Edwin Landseer, as the basis of paintings (ii). The technology of the day demanded long exposure times and cumbersome equipment resulting in painted portrait-like sittings in enclosed studios. David Bate (12) points out that the favoured pose of thoughtfulness where the subject rests their head in one hand was developed by photographers to make it easier for the subject to remain still but was subsequently adopted by painters as a "conventional pose." Ertem (3) describes these studios as having the same "scenic accessories as painters" and many early portraits feature painted backcloths, tied back curtains, and the occasional Doric column.
This image of the nineteenth century photographer's studio has become the accepted truth and suggests that for fifty or sixty years the aesthetics of the photographic portrait stood still while the technology moved forward in leaps and bounds. On face value this might be a reasonable argument considering the large number of artisan studios that sprung up in Paris, London and New York and the rise of the carte de visite (iii) photograph which encouraged the adoption of formulaic poses.
From the American Civil War through to the First World War hundreds of high street studios recorded the images of young man departing for war whilst following formulas first established by the early photographers and inherited from painting. The two examples shown above are the same subject matter, the soldier leaving for war, but were taken around fifty years apart on different continents; yet they share a distinctly similar pose and include props that directly link the pictures back to painted portrait.
However, to accept this as the norm, would be an over simplification. During those same fifty years many photographers were developing a non-painterly style of portraiture, a photographic style, that began to allow the photographic portrait to establish itself as an unique medium.
I have previously looked at the work of Frank Meadow Sutcliffe (here and here) who documented the fishing village of Whitby from 1870 until the closure of his studio in 1922. He was a founding member of the Linked Ring whose objective was to promote photography as a fine art and whilst his landscapes have some of the romantic aesthetic of the pictorialists his posed portraits both inside and outside of the studio have a direct and natural appearance quite unlike the carte de visite.
It is important to recognise that Sutcliffe was not a documentarist in the mould of Lewis Hine, Dorothea Lange or Walker Evans or even his contemporary John Thomson, he was a professional studio photographer working in a single small town. He took his camera into the town and countryside to record its people but these were not decisive moments nor did they form the basis for a social commentary; they were carefully posed and structured photographs; the use of the street as a studio. The remarkable result of many of his photographs, including the one shown here, is that by being so obviously posed they have taken on the aesthetic of a mid to late twentieth century fashion shoot. I don't suggest that Victorian portrait photographers influenced the star fashion photographers of the 1960's but they had already created the posed-casual look in the 1890s.
Other photographers began to approach their subjects in new and entirely photographic ways from an early date.
Robert Howlett's iconic 1857 portrait of Isambard Kingdom Brunel is on the cusp of portrait and documentary photography showing Brunel with cigar in mouth, in his scruffy clothes and mud splattered trousers dwarfed by the huge chains of his master piece, the Great Eastern.
Brunel is posing for the camera in a way that we would associate with photography rather than painting; there is a realistic sense of a man caught during his working day, deep in thought but assured and confident, poised to return to action.
One might argue that the independent development of portrait photography was stalled, if not set back, by the Pictorial Movement initiated by Peter Henry Emerson in the late 1880s and later championed by Alfred Stieglitz in his magazine Camera Work between 1903 and 1917 and who with other practitioners such as Edward Steichen passionately believed in asserting photography as an art. Even the most superficial review of Camera Work (4) reveals their route to this goal was to imitate painting, often through post production manipulation of the print.
They promoted classical art poses which were often presented as misty, indistinct prints that mimicked romantic painting. Practitioners such as Guido Rey extended the painted art aesthetic into the subject matter creating staged photographs that not only followed the style of the Dutch masters but replicated their subject matter.
The most interesting aspect of the collected photographs from Camera Work is the quite dramatic switch in style exhibited in its penultimate issue which features the work of Paul Strand. Strand's prints share the photogravure, mildly sepia tones of Steichen and Octavia Hill but the subject matter and poses suddenly have a documentary and realistic edge that refreshingly contrasts the romantic subjects and fuzzy unreality of much of the work in earlier issues.
The newcomer, Strand, had captured his photographs on the street with a Graflex camera, his subjects were usually unaware of his presence and as Stieglitz wrote at the time the images were "brutally direct, pure and devoid of trickery" (5); Beaumont Newhall describes Strand's appearance on the scene as "prophetic of the reorientation in photographic aesthetics and of the return to the traditions of straight photography" (5).
Strand recognised that the photographer had to accept the limitations and understand the "potential qualities of the medium" and to value its strengths and its differences from the other visual arts.
Photograhy was again able to move forward developing its own traditions and, in doing so, we begin to see the selection of human subjects and an evolution of pose that was and would remain as being unique to the medium. In Strand's footsteps the great American documentary portraitists followed, practitioners who were to record the twenties and thirties in such an influential manner that their work continues to inspire photographers nearly hundred years later. Photographers like Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange travelled to places and photographed people that painters and many of their contemporary photographers avoided. Ansel Adams was to say "There are so many beautiful places in this world , I don't know why Dorothea photographs all those dirty people." (6)
It would be stretching the point to suggest that the post pictorial era is when the photographic pose begins to find its own shape and form; to say this would be to ignore the work of the Victorian documentarists or the Americans like Lewis Hine. However it might be true to say that between the wars the photographic pose becomes established as unique to the medium and takes on the attributes that Susanne Holschbach discusses (1). She sees the pose as the "interface between the individual and society", an interface in which the subject's subconscious comes out to impose itself upon the image. Roland Barthes is often quoted, not least by me, as describing the self evident truth that the subject converts themselves into an imagined image when confronted by the camera. Fulya Ertem (3) builds on this idea when she says that this process is one of "assuming a posture, an imaginary self, in front of any captivating gaze" but it also represents a form of contract between the photographer and the subject. The resultant pose may, as Holschbach puts it, "bear signs of agreement" or "resistance" and it might be intentional or involuntary but it nearly always reveals something of the subject's psyche, social situation, self perception and the way in which they wish to be seen.
Decade by decade as photography became increasingly accessible and democratic a wider cross section of society was able to record or have recorded their ideal self perception. Initially, and as previously discussed (here) the middle classes and then the working classes adopted poses that mimicked their wealthier fellow citizens who, in turn had mimicked the poses established by painters. However, as cheap cameras became more widespread and the reliance on formal portrait studios diminished the pose begins to shake free from its history.
This development was not evenly paced worldwide so whilst the traditional photographic studio has nearly disappeared from Britain or America it still thrives in a wide range of countries or in new forms as evidenced by Martin Parr's series Autoportrait. This series comprises semi-self portraits taken in small photographer's shops around the world where the tied back curtains and hand painted backdrops of the Victorian era have been replaced with photo or digital backdrops or the insertion of the subject's head into fantasy and electronically generated settings. On reflection the aspirations of the studio customer has changed very little since during photography's history despite all the advances in technology in that they still seek representations that falsify their position in society.
Val Williams describes Autoportrait as a "constant remodelling of the Parr persona – from retouched teenager to muscleman, from astronaut to Arab, from Victorian gentleman to Jeffery Archer look-alike" and sees the series as "an acknowledgement, or even a reminder, that photography is often more accomplished, more freethinking in the vernacular than it is in the polished products of the photojournalist or the art photographer." (7)
Parr's series exaggerates the fact that the subject engages in masquerade when posing for a photo portrait but the truth remains that the pose can often be a mask or, if we accept Barthes argument, perhaps is always a mask. Holschbach quotes a the thoughts of the portrait photographer A.A.E. Disdéri (iii) who in the 1850s provided guidance to his fellow practitioners on how to coax their subjects out of their tendency to imitate role models or to use "rehearsed formal poses" and "appropriate faces". Many contemporary wedding photographers address this tendency by abandoning the formal group photograph and adopting a more documentary approach; Rineke Dijkstra uses video to break down the rigidity and fallacy of the pose whereas the fashion and portrait photographer David Bailey maintains a never ending dialogue to distract and relax his subjects. These ideas form a bridge between the overt portraitist who devises strategies to remove the mask and in doing so degrade the subject's influence on the image and the covert operators who seek unaware subjects with the same intent (see here and here).
In the twentieth century photographers prowled the streets seeking to catch people off guard to reveal the true nature of society and art photographers explored different strategies to reveal the inner self but another group of, generally better paid and better known, photographers concentrated their attention on persuading their subjects to adopt predetermined personas. As Holschbach points out, fashion photography "took the lead as a laboratory for staging the body"; prior to Bailey and his contemporaries like Terence Donovan and Brian Duffy, fashion models had the status of mannequins, the fashion world was only interested in their ability to become a mobile clothes hanger and certainly had no desire to explore or represent their personality. Bailey was at the vanguard of a movement that began to see and photograph the models as people and he achieved this, not just by building a rapport with his subjects but by approaching fashion photography as a portraitist of people rather than as a still life photographer of clothes. As Tim Marlow describes in his introduction to Bailey's Stardust (8) "The fashion photography for which he rapidly became relatively rich and indisputably famous in the early 1960s became increasingly identified with the models themselves as much as the clothes they wore."
Bailey, like Richard Avedon, took his models into the street and inserted them into the un-choreographed bustle of the city but even in the studio he had an uncanny ability to capture what Marlow calls the "natural dynamism and fluidity of the human body". The art world has never completely come to terms with the fashion photographer but Bailey's portraiture of contemporary celebrities in the 60's through to the present day, his promotion of models as women not mannequins, his democratic portraits of non-celebrities and his less well known documentary photographs have enabled him to straddle many worlds including art. His Stardust exhibition in 2014 acts as a catalogue for the pose in the second half of the twentieth century such is its variety of both subject and approach. Perhaps the proof of his status is that we associate his iconic fashion photographs with him and his models having long forgotten the names of the fashion houses and magazines that paid the bills.
In the 1970's and 80's British based photographers like Martin Parr, Daniel Meadows, David Hurn and Tom Wood were part of a movement that took portrait photography into the lives and homes of ordinary people. They captured contemporary Britain through the faces of its people at work and play without adopting the grab and run approach of Garry Winogrand or, like Diane Arbus, by seeking out subjects that enabled them to explore their own inner demons. Their approach was more reminiscent of Tony Ray-Jones as they sought out subjects that described the social identity of Britain but until Parr switched his attention to consumerism this was a movement that concentrated on the working class, not as examples, but as individuals and it marks a watershed in British portrait photography.
In 1973 Daniel Meadows purchased a Leyland Titan bus and toured England seeking out "ordinary folk" (9) to photograph. His Free Photographic Omnibus was "dedicated to valuing ordinary people, treating the as individuals not as types." For fourteen months he drove his mobile studio, dark room and home around the country photographing just short of one thousand people. Each evening he developed and printed his work so his subjects could collect their free prints the next day as he also displayed the portraits in the bus' windows it became a travelling gallery or as the Daily Mirror called it "the Great Ordinary Show". The portraits collected during this project were published as Living Like This (10) in 1975. With the help of the curator Val Williams these portraits were revived twenty years later and formed the basis of a travelling exhibition.
This was not Meadow's first foray into the realm of free portrait photography, in 1972 he had created a pop-up studio in Moss Side, Manchester having been inspired by Bruce Davidson's work in Harlem. (11). The differences between his work on the bus and in his make-shift studio lie only in the settings, both series share the inmate engagement he formed with his subjects and the casual, relaxed and very real poses they adopt.
Since then the photographic portrait has continued to be a popular medium for contemporary photographers. It has been explored it many different ways but, in Britain at least, has remained grounded in a celebration of the ordinary. The pose has evolved in parallel with the development of the portrait, slowly losing the rigid constraints of the nineteenth century, becoming more relaxed and, perhaps influenced by the ordinariness of being photographed, become more natural and in the process more revealing.

(i) Including Hippolyte Bayard, Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre, Roger Fenton, David Octavius Hill
(ii) As in his portrait of Queen Victoria and John Brown which was based on a photograph by W. Bambridge. Apparently the queen had suggested the photograph as the basis of his painting suggesting that she was engaged with photography (2).
(iii) Carte de visite photographs were small albumen prints mounted on small 2 1/2 by 4 inch cards that became popular across the world after being patented by André Adolphe-Eugené Disdéri a French photographer. The process was based on a camera with 4 lenses that allowed it to take four simultaneous negatives, the plate was then slid into a new position for a further four identical frames. The resultant negative could be used to print a single sheet containing eight photographs that could be cut into separate prints. The carte de visite became hugely popular during the American Civil War as memento of soldiers leaving for the front but also found an application as a collectible along the lines of the much later cigarette card. 70,000 carte de visites of Prince Albert, Victoria's consort, were sold in Britain in the week following his death.

Stages in the Mosaic approach
The first stage is where children and adults gather the documentation; the second stage is piecing together information for dialogue, reflection and interpretation.
The focus in stage one is gathering information led by the children using the tools described above. Each tool can be used in isolation. However the strength of this approach is in drawing together the different methodologies through discussion. Stage two focuses on this interpretation: staff and parents now listen to the children's own perspectives. This use of documentation has drawn on the process developed in the pre-schools of Reggio Emilia, which Rinaldi has described as 'visible listening'. Listening is not limited to a two-way conversation between one adult and a child...>

Studies Show Colon Cancer Tumors that Originate on Opposite Side Respond Differently
In just the past couple of years, studies have found what many consider surprising data showing different responses to treatment between colon cancer tumors that originate on the right side of the colon versus those that grow on the left.
Those discoveries are driving development of treatment approaches that are targeted to particular cancers within the colon. And knowing the differences in how right-side and left-side colon cancer tumors respond to treatment is helping oncologists make individualized treatment plans for colon cancer patients, says Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers oncologist Sujatha Nallapareddy, MD.
The findings emerged most clearly in 2016, when researchers presented a study that looked back at treatment outcomes for colon cancer patients, and found a clear pattern: treatment success was greater for patients whose tumors originated on the left.
Additional research has quickly expanded on that knowledge, says Dr. Nallapareddy. "We see that right-sided tumors are more aggressive compared to those on the left." In addition, studies have shown that the side a tumor originates on may determine how it responds to certain chemotherapy drugs.
Right-Sided vs Left Sided Colon Cancer Tumors
Generally, right-sided colon cancer consists of cancers of the ascending and transverse colon. Left-sided colorectal cancer consists of cancers of the descending colon, along with the rectum. The ascending colon sits on the right side of the abdomen, rising from the appendix and reaching up toward the chest until it folds to the left and becomes the transverse colon. The transverse colon crosses the abdomen from right to left, then bends and becomes the descending colon. The descending colon stretches down along the left side of the abdomen to the rectum.
All the reasons for the differences in left-side and right-side tumors still aren't clear, but research is shedding new light on some potential causes, Dr. Nallapareddy says:
- The different sides of the colon develop from different embryonic cells in the womb. And after formation, the right side of the colon has a different blood source than the left.
- Right-sided tumors are more likely in patients who have a genetic predisposition to colorectal cancer, including those with Lynch syndrome or micro¬satellite instability. Microsatellite instability is a genetic predisposition to greater than average occurrence of mutation.
- Tumors with BRAF mutations, which are a poor prognostic sign in colorectal cancer, also are more likely to occur on the right side.
- The gut microbiome – the collection of genes and bacteria – appears to be different on the right and left sides of the colon. "The right side seems to have more colonization of bacteria," Dr. Nallapareddy says.
One advantage to right-side colon cancer tumors is that early-stage tumors can be removed more easily than those on the left, Dr. Nallapareddy says.
Most importantly, oncologists treating colon cancer have far more knowledge about the disease, and many more weapons in their arsenal than they did even a decade ago.

Family Sign Language and Informational Series
and El Lenguaje de Señas Para la Familia (Spanish version)
Video Review
by Lacey K. H. Wood, M.A.
Deaf Educator, Early Childhood
Multiple Disabilities
Family-Centered Programming
© 2004
Family Sign Language and Informational Series
and El Lenguaje de Señas Para la Familia
by Color of Language (www.coloroflanguage.com/productsvid.html)
3 VHS or 3 DVDs, ASL, voice-over
The "Color of Language" company has produced a video series that is excellent for use by and with many* hearing families of deaf and hard-of-hearing children. Whether the child is a newborn or a teenager, this video series offers a plethora of helpful, encouraging, research-based information for families who desire to communicate fluidly and naturally with their child. Throughout the video series, relationship is emphasized, and as an educator of young deaf/hard-of-hearing children and their families, I believe this concept is central to all families, regardless of size, culture, income, or interests. In addition to stressing relationship, the video series also puts tremendous highlight upon the need of the family to be fully involved in order to raise a child who is a successful reader, writer, language user, and eventually a productive adult member of society. Intertwined in all that it teaches is the video series' emphasis on the development not just of signs, but of FULL LANGUAGE-specifically, American Sign Language.
- Each of the 10 lessons in the video series is divided into segments that include instruction in the following areas:
- Vocabulary-Each vocabulary unit is approached by topics that are applicable to children and families.
- Practice sentences-These allow the viewer time to apply recently learned signs in natural, practical, fluid language use. An English sentence appears on the screen, time is given for the viewer to think through how he/she might sign the sentence, and then the Deaf instructor provides an example of how to sign the sentence to allow the viewer to self-correct.
- Education and cultural information-These segments are what make this videotape series particularly unique in comparison with other instructional videos on the market today. Provided in this section are basic ideas and information about the Deaf Community as a whole, as well as research about the education of and ideas for "what works" with deaf children in a variety of domains. The reality of raising a deaf child is presented in a way that is truthful, encouraging, and positive. In addition, parents can start becoming more familiar with aspects of a culture with which they may have never had contact before.
- Suggestions for teaching children-Practical, easy-to-use ideas are provided in this section. For example, the idea of making and using a simple written/picture schedule with your child in order to give his/her life consistency and predictability is described. Not only are the ideas described in understandable ways, they are also shown by hearing parents who have deaf children. These demonstrations are encouraging to parents who think they cannot teach or communicate with their child, as they can see other parents just like themselves doing these things well.
As an early childhood deaf educator, I see tremendous value in this video series for many of the families with whom I work on a daily basis. I see a great need in my aspect of the field of Deaf Education for the teaching of a complete language system to families, as so many programs and videos teach only individual signs. Perhaps the hardest part of developing expressive sign language is putting signs together in a way that is fluid and understandable. In addition, I believe that for parents, a big challenge in accepting their child's deafness is their inability to meet other Deaf adults, and as a result parents may view them as non-existent, marginalized, or unsuccessful individuals. Because the video series uses Deaf adults to do all of the instruction, parents receive a model of what their child will look like in the future. This model is exceptionally important to parents. Finally, a third aspect of this video series that I find extremely useful is that it shares both cultural and educational information. When parents are informed, they are much more able to take responsibility for their child and become actively involved in helping their child and family to succeed. They will hopefully gain comfort in communicating and interacting with Deaf people, and embrace the Deaf Community as a true benefit to the lives of themselves and their child. Practical, applicable knowledge is always the best kind, and this video series provides it. Overall, it is an excellent teaching tool for families with deaf and hard-of-hearing children who have chosen to use American Sign Language as their form of communication.
*Author's Note: Not every videotape or series will be right for every family with a deaf/hard-of-hearing child. It is important that professionals use their knowledge of family needs and their best judgment when recommending any resource to a family. In addition, for some families, much guidance about the use of the series will be necessary in order to get the utmost learning from it. Ultimately, this video series is a supplement to and a small component of a more comprehensive intervention and/or educational program that focuses on both the needs of the family and of the child. Happy viewing!
