There's photography and then there's cinematography. Both mediums give so much to a wedding day's impressions – both so different and yet so much the same. With film, the movement, the spontaneous emotions, the changing expressions on people's faces are captured in all their dynamic glory – giving movement and light to the scene. Nathan Kaso Weddings is manned by a cinematographer whose passion is for creativity, and capturing the little moments that make up the wedding day. Nathan gives his heart and soul to creating the perfect film for you – something that he not only presents to you with pride, but one that will bring up all the emotions of the wedding day every time you see it.
Here's Nathan's story.
How long have you worked as a cinematographer?
I have been working on and off in video production for nearly 13 years. I've also worked as a designer, animator, photographer and a short stint as a DJ at my local roller skating rink back in the 90's (not kidding). The last three years I have concentrated solely on video and haven't looked back.
Of all the work with visual mediums you have done, why choose videography as your passion? Why is making films important to you?
Video is something I have naturally gravitated towards. It is a medium I have always felt comfortable working in and feel I have a natural connection with. There are so many tiny moments in life that might otherwise be forgotten if they aren't documented with images, and sometimes these can be the most significant. I take a lot of pleasure in knowing I have captured some of these moments and they can be looked back on for years to come.
How would you characterize your filming style?
My style is candid, personal and intimate. Using a hand-held, documentary technique not only allows me to stay nimble and capture moments on the fly, but also softens the look of the footage and creates a more personal image (not one that looks like it is shot by a robot).
You use different mediums to capture the wedding – what end result are you looking for?
I love shooting super 8 film at weddings. It is very emotive, creates a beautiful sense of nostalgia with its home-movie look. It balances nicely against the clean look of modern digital images. There are parts of the day that I find work well in slow-motion digital, and others that look great in super 8. For me it's about finding the right balance and having fun.
What details are important for you to capture?
The main thing I concentrate on when filming a wedding is building small sequences that will tell the story of the day. It's very easy to get carried away getting the 'money shots', but there are also lots of tiny moments and details that help tell the story. Because I put together my edits in chronological order, it's important that each part of the day is covered in a way that establishes each scene for the audience and guides them on a journey as if they had been there.
I notice that you concentrate on the people rather than the surroundings in your films. Do you see this as the most important aspect of the wedding to capture in the film?
Weddings are all about the people. It's easy to become indulgent when shooting surrounding landscapes and locations, but this takes the focus away from the bride and groom who are really the stars of the show. It is very important to establish locations without making them a feature. I am brutal with my edits and only include shots that enhance the final video. Sometimes I have to cut out a shot that I really love, but if it doesn't fit in the edit it gets left on the cutting room floor.
Do you use a 'fly on the wall' approach to your filming, or do you plan everything in detail?
I pretty much just show up and document what happens. I have a few set shots that I like to get, but each wedding is so unique that I like to just let things unfold naturally and not give any direction. It's when people forget you are there that you capture the best moments, so for me discretion is key.
Apart from the technicalities, what makes a 'good' cinematographer – is it curiosity about life, or other subtle qualities?
For me it's the ability to capture a scene or subject in a unique or interesting way. Anyone can point a camera at a scene and use a lens to get shallow depth of field, but the real skill lies in composing shots and building a sequence that captures the mood and emotion of a scene and subject.
How do you 'know' what makes a great film shot? Is it instinctual?
After a while this becomes instinctual, but you need to keep a keen eye on everything that is going on around you. On a film set you can provide this direction and do multiple takes until you get the perfect shot. With weddings it is an exercise in patience and observation, but this makes it all the more rewarding when you capture a something great.
In what ways do you regularly challenge yourself creatively with your film work?
I love producing my own personal projects. It's how I started in video many years ago and is what has maintained my interest to this day. I genuinely love filming, photographing and editing images, whether they are moving or still. If I have an idea for something I want to create I can't stop thinking about it until it's finished. The day I don't feel that way is the day I'll stop (but hopefully that never happens).
Creatively, where, and doing what, makes you feel most inspired?
The main thing that inspires me is the desire to do new, better work. As soon as I finish a piece of work I want to move onto the next thing and test out some new ideas and techniques.
You must travel to some amazing places to take photographs. Can you name some of your favourites?
New Zealand has become my favourite place in the world to visit and at times feels a bit like a second home. I've made many trips there over the years, for holiday and work. The landscape blows me away every time, there is something different around every corner. Whether I'm shooting time-lapse of a snow-capped mountain or capturing a couple celebrating their wedding it's pretty much impossible to take a bad shot in that place.
Please explain your concept of charging a flat fee for your services?
I worked in advertising agencies for a number of years, and while I gained valuable experience that allows me to produce work at a very high standard, it was also very restrictive in regards to how much time and effort I could put into my work.
Every time I make a video I want it to be as good as it can possibly be, not limited by budgets, allocated time or equipment. I don't want my couples to have to decide if they want to pay an extra fee for me to use super 8 film, or worry that I'll miss out on any special moments because they could only afford a six-hour package.
I love being creative and having fun with my work. Weddings are a great opportunity to do this, so for me putting limits in place just isn't an option. I put every effort and resource into each wedding I capture and hopefully that comes across in the videos I produce.
What's next for your business?
I really enjoy the balance between commercial video production and wedding videography. They represent different challenges creatively and allow me to improve my skills and discover new techniques, and stop me getting bored with working in one area. Right now work doesn't feel like work, so if I can continue along that track I'll be pretty happy.
What advice would you give your younger self?
I actually got a great piece of advice from my favourite lecturer at uni who said in order to avoid a mid-life crisis, you need to have lots a little crises along the way to make sure you always keep your life on track. That way when you hit middle-age your life should still be headed in the direction you want.
I've done my best to stick to this idea. I quit my first full time job after three days with no other work lined up because it wasn't what I wanted to be doing. At the time it was pretty scary but looking back it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I guess I would tell young Nathan to make sure you're always enjoying what you're doing have a bit more confidence and belief in yourself.
What do you like to do for rest and recreation?
I love spending time with my wife and kids, we have a three-year-old son and two-month-old daughter. We go to the zoo, the museum, the park, or stay home and make popcorn and watch movies on rainy days. Being a dad has given me a fresh outlook on life and made me a much happier person.
Thank you Nathan for sharing your story. There's nothing quite like the moving image to relive the atmosphere of the wedding day. To find out more about Nathan Kaso Weddings visit the website.

The year has really just flown by for 2017 so far. Its a been a crazy few months lots of great things, great rides and new additions to the group. Finding a place to start is a little mind blowing on my end, so please bare with me as I may be jumping around a little. But lets start with the one of the guys Ol' Chance Stone tying the knot with Breann Chambers on March 18th. What a amazing wedding to be part of, it was truly awesome for all of us to be part of their special day.
In early March we held a fund raiser event for the Phoenix Children's Hospital. A good ol fashion goat roping. Big shout out to Skippys and community of Queen Creek helping the event be even bigger than we imagined it would be. The night was full of laughs, roping, and a little naa naa from the goats but it was a blast. Thank you to everyone who came out to the event to be part of it. The part that humbled us all was being at the Children's Hospital, I can say for my self it left impression I will not forget. Those are kids are the bravest and most courageous little ones I have ever met in my life. We got the tour of the facility and the money raised goes to the hope side for the game room that Garth Brooks has donated to build for these hospitals. As Shane said we put on a fun event so the kids could have fun. The game room has so many things in it for those kids for all ages, live TV to play bingo for the kids who can't leave there rooms. Gives them the opportunity to interact with the other kids in the hospital. We all where blown away with the thought and time they have put into making those kids life's so enjoyable they hopefully they forget why they are in there. It was something that I will never forget. One little guy remarked the doc rubbed some medicine on my leg, it all good and I'm ready to go. The whole experience left a impression on us for the rest of our lives. I would recommend to anyone to get involved for day or a hour or two, it will leave a impression that you won't forget.
March was also filled with lots good rides from the guys. Shane Morin got the split for the win in globe. Cody Collet got scholarship to Las Cruces NM to rodeo. Brandon got promotion and has been slowly working his way back into the arena. John has been entering rodeos all across the country and we look for him to have another great year in the turquoise circuit. We also added a few Bull Riders to the team this year. Hunter Kelly and Kayleb Erwin, they will be rocking the 232 Ranch Shirts this year at rodeos. We are looking for big things for them in 2017.
As we move deeper into 2017, I will do my best to keep up with the blogging and pictures, just been busy but still no excuse. Look for a update next week after we get back from Needles, CA. Until then take deep seat, get that far away look in your eye and the let the good times Roll!!!!!

Last week I published the results of doodles generated by code. This week I am presenting a variation on the same theme; the following image was generated using a variant of my Cornucopia Art processing sketch.
Generating Art With Code: Doodling, Math and Cornucopias
I have a compulsive need to create art; I also have a lifelong love for coding. The two passions are compatible and interrelated. Coding and Math can generate artistic visions. In this post, I show how I created a program to draw doodles formed by tangles of "Cornucopias" swimming in space.
Doodling for Life
If you are a reader of my blog, you know that every Tuesday I publish a hand-drawn meeting doodle from my Moleskine. Recently I have been doodling an interesting shape that, for some reason, I enjoy looking at. I call it a cornucopia because it resembles an elongated and twisted goat horn. You can see an example here. ...

A third of our lives we spend sleeping, so deciding the way our bedrooms should be like takes time and energy. They say bedrooms describe our personalities and it couldn't be truer. In order to feel comfty in a home, you have to create your personal space where no one has access to, unless you want it. We keep our privacy between the four walls and decorations or colors contour our portrait.
In a bedroom, all small details count. A knit blanket can add warm to an empty, cold bed. With a fireplace, you can build a romantic place for two. For men, show your masculinity choosing a brown leather panel bed and simple lamps. For women, choose light colors and revive the air with fresh flowers.
Or just combine whatever you feel like. You're messing with your intimacy, so don't think at anything and anyone else but yourself. Find your inspiration below, in some picks of modern or traditional, minimalist or bold bedrooms, for each taste.

The high-flying tech sector is taking it on the chin. The Nasdaq Composite Index was trading down 1.4% at 6,231.94 around 2:00 P.M. ET after hitting a record high earlier on Friday.
The day started out so promosing, with Goldman Sachs declaring "FAAMG" as the new acronym for the most powerful stocks in the space.
"While FANG has dominated investor focus, the nature of the acronym has expanded more broadly to encompass mega-cap tech," Robert Boroujerdi and his colleagues wrote in a note on Friday. "Indeed, the bigger story in our view is FAAMG — Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft and Alphabet — a group of five stocks which have been the key drivers of both the SPX & NDX returns year-to date." According to the firm, that group of five stocks has added $US660 billion in market value so far in 2017.
Shortly after the opening bell, the Nasdaq touched a record high 6,341.
But things turned south as the clock struck noon.
First, Citron Research published a scathing white paper on graphics processing unit manufacturer Nvidia. The firm said Nvidia had become "a casino stock" after soaring more than 16% this week alone. Citron said shares would sink to $US130 before hitting $US180.
"While we are fans of NVDA emerging business in auto, gaming, and AI …have the prospects of these technologies doubled in value in 6 months or is this an example of analysts chasing stock price?" Citron's white paper asked.
That sent Nvidia shares tumbling into negative territory after hitting a record high $US168.50 earlier on Friday. Currently, they're down 6.4% at $US149.70.
And that's not all. Shares of Apple find themselves under pressure after a report from Bloomberg suggested the iPhone 8 won't be as fast as its rivals. That sent shares down about 4% off their near record high of $US155.46 reached earlier on Friday. Apple now trades at $US149.85.
That one-two punch is weighing on the broader tech sector. Here's a look at the performance of Goldman's newly touted FAAMG stocks:
- Facebook -2.9% at $US150.24
- Amazon -2.6% @ $US924.38
- Apple -3% @ $US150.16
- Microsoft -3.1% at $US69.69
- Alphabet (Google) -2.8% @ $US976.00

Today you should read: Genesis 7:1-24
Today's reading is a story of God's love and God's justice. The God we serve is a perfect balance of both. As we read yesterday, the world had become so wicked that God had to act. His justice demanded it. Most of us would have simply annihilated humanity – but God loved us – His creation, and constructed a plan that would preserve the life He had made a few chapters earlier.
God looked for someone who was righteous – someone He could bless. He found Noah to be righteous in his generation (v.1). In other words, Noah lived right among a people that practiced the most heinous of wrong. It's not easy to live right among wickedness. Many of us are faced with that every day of our lives at school, work, – or even at home. God looks for people He can bless – people who will obey Him (v.5) even when it's not popular.
Micah 6:8 says it well, "o man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"
Ask God today to make you a man or woman that He can bless – one that follows God and seeks Him with all your heart. God is looking for "Noahs" today, too – to use to rock the world for His glory!
Questions to Ponder…
• In what ways do I practice righteousness amidst the wickedness around me?
• In what ways have I been compromising?
• What would it look like for me to practice Micah 6:8 today – to humbly walk with God?

Co-Workers in the Vineyard
Networking with your fellow youth ministers is a great way to grow in confidence and competence in the practice of youth ministry. The bulk of the agenda is allotted to focus on your needs as youth ministers. Some business items will also be shared at these gatherings. Ideally, these gatherings will be held throughout the diocese, so if you would like to help by hosting a gathering, please contact the Kyle at (217) 698-8500, ext. 154.
- Saturday, July 27, noon, Villa Maria (lunch provided)
- September 15
- November 17
- January 12, 2020
The agenda is driven by the needs you bring to the meeting. We will start with prayer and I ask that everyone bring a need, concern or any other topic that you want to share with your fellow co-workers. By sharing together, it is my hope that we build a stronger community of youth ministers in the diocese. A few specific items I would like to have a discussion about at the next meeting include:
- National Catholic Youth Conference
- Scoutis in the Catholic Church
- World Youth Day 2022
Discipleship is a key theme that I want to talk about with the group, too. As you may already know, Bishop Paprocki is investing a lot of time and energy on becoming a stewardship diocese. And by stewardship, Bishop Paprocki is consistently clear that this initiative is not about money. By stewardship, we are all called and challenged to share more of ourselves by being more intentional about our discipleship in Jesus Christ. I would like to keep our bishop informed about the needs of youth ministers in our quest for being intentional disciples, so please help me by brainstorming your needs for what it means to be an intentional disciple for youth and you and a youth minister!
An ongoing point of discussion is the formation needs for youth ministers so we can be more effective at forming intentional disciples through our ministries, too.
I hope you will join me at these gatherings!

Imagine breaking the cycle of childhood poverty!
Imagine that your action today can make that thought a reality, one child and one community at a time. Now, indulge in that beautiful moment for a little bit longer.
Moms Against Poverty advocates that only a holistic and multifaceted approach towards this vicious cycle has a realistic chance of breaking it.
It is through education empowerment, hunger relief & basic provisions, and, orphan care, can we fundamentally bring about change. Only then can we help the children break out of this frightful and appalling bondage they were born into.
Now, imagine how your Dollar donation is changing the lives of thousands of vulnerable, abandoned, neglected, orphaned, abused, hungry, scared, underprivileged, and impoverished children in the U.S., Iran, Cambodia, India, and Africa.
Together, let's give the children a chance to bounce back and lead normal and fulfilling lives.
Thank you!

Survey also revealed that men prepare more for healthcare upon turning 65 than women; almost half agree that the process is confusing.
IRVINE, Calif.–PrescribeWellness, the cloud-based services company whose mission is to inspire collaboration for better health, today announced the results of its 2017 Turning 65 Survival Guide survey. The survey, which was conducted by Propeller Insights on behalf of PrescribeWellness and fielded to 1,000 American adults aged 45+, gauged Americans' feelings about healthcare upon turning 65 and the pain points Americans feel when choosing a Medicare or other healthcare plan.
When I'm 64…?
It turns out that the popular Beatles' song rings true, because when they're 64, Americans will choose their healthcare. The survey discovered that almost half of Americans choose their senior healthcare plan before they actually turn 65 (48 percent), and 29 percent choose it on their 65th birthday.
A small percentage will postpone the decision until after they turn 65 (8 percent), while 14 percent wait until they get a reminder.
Preparation Is Key
Additionally, when it comes to preparing for healthcare upon turning 65, PrescribeWellness discovered that men prepare more than women: 32 percent of women haven't done any research, compared to 26 percent of men. The survey also found that the number one way Americans prepare is by researching Medicare and the secondary coverage they'll need (25 percent). This is followed by:
- Researching Medicare and other senior HMOs to decide what's right—19 percent
- Consulting with friends who are already 65 and have more knowledge—18 percent
- Consulting with an insurance provider or speaking to their healthcare provider—10 percent
Choosing a Plan Causes Confusion
In the choice between Medicare versus a senior HMO, Medicare wins, with more than half of Americans choosing or planning to choose Medicare (56 percent) over an HMO like Scan (4 percent). Almost a quarter (23 percent) haven't chosen or aren't planning to choose either, while 17 percent admit that they don't know anything about Medicare or an HMO.
Americans also agree that the most confusing part of choosing a healthcare plan at 65 is deciding which plan is right for them (49 percent). This is followed by:
- Deciding between Medicare and a senior HMO like Scan—25 percent
- Having to select a new healthcare provider to take my new plan—24 percent
- Having to pay a larger co-pay for prescription drugs—20 percent
- Having to find a new pharmacy to refill necessary medications—12 percent
More than a quarter (28 percent) say that the choice is not confusing.
Part D? Yes, Please!
The survey found that Americans actually know more about Part D plans than they think. When asked how aware Americans are about the need to enroll in a Part D plan in addition to Medicare Parts A and B, 69 percent admit to being aware of the need for a Part D, and 90 percent think it's important to have a Part D plan that's personal to them.
"These survey findings confirm that it's difficult to choose the right healthcare plan when you turn 65 and that there are things that can make it easier, like having a trusted advisor walk you through the process," said Al Babbington, CEO of PrescribeWellness. "Meeting with your community pharmacist can alleviate confusion and help you decide what's best for you and your healthcare needs. PrescribeWellness arms these trusted advisors with the tools they need to help Americans through the process."

In the Fast Money Dirty Trade, Eric Bolling takes a look at one precious commodity that gets shinier everyday thanks in part to Japanese demand.(Japan is the home to Mkimoto jewelry and half of Tiffany's International sales.) Diamonds are the dirty trade.
Eric says demand for diamonds is outstripping supply buy the billions. China, India and Russia are showing an insatiable appetite for diamonds as their economies grow. Production is down and demand is up with prices expected to rise 30-45% over the next 5 years. As Eric says "Bling is back!"
Eric explains that DeBeers is responsible for 40% of the world's diamond trade (no conflict diamonds.) and 45% of DeBeers is owned by Anglo America plc (AAUK). He says the stock is one fire and it's a great trade.
Dylan asks why are diamond prices rising?
Eric says it's the increased amount of wealth, globally. Consumers are demanding larger diamonds, it's that simple. However, he cautions that there's a glut of smaller diamonds. Investors don't want to own the small ones, says Bolling. It's the large ones where you'll find the fast money.

I had the opportunity to meet and work with Valeria at the LovePicLove studios in Deep Ellum. She was a natural light beauty that made it really easy to work with in studio. The studio was mostly dark, with a large set of 3 windows facing the front of the second story room. This made a perfect place to capture Valeria in a comfortable studio setting.
Natural Light Beauty Valeria in Dallas Studio
Her eyes are beautiful and she with ease. I stayed pretty close in proximity to her during the shoot so I could capture the details of the face and upper body. Many of the shots were done with the Sony 55mm 1.8, and I shot wide open on a majority of the shoot. We moved into a hallway and back room and I switched to the Sony 28mm 2.0, so I could get some wider shots in a close setting. Overall, I love the set and can't wait to work with her again in the future.
What I learned from this set
The studio was in an old loft style area, so the walls and textures of the interior were great. There were many places that had heavy shadows and I tried to stay away from those. In hindsight, I wish I had tried a few more moody shots in certain areas of the studio. I think this would have made for more interesting shots of light and shadows.

Well, it looks like today's cricket match will not happen. It is pouring down in buckets, and by the looks of it, the ground cannot recover in time for today's scheduled 2:30 p.m. start.
According to the TNCA web site, those who bought tickets are the biggest losers – their money will not be refunded "under any circumstances." The Hindu had a report on this, and it looks like the Association will take a call on it only after the match is called off.
Judging by the ticket rates – a decent seat costs a minimum of Rs. 1200 – the TNCA seems to be a very greedy entity. But judging by the response – ALL the tickets were sold out within a few hours of opening the counters – Chennai is full of people willing to pay.

Hi it took a long time for the celebration of the chinese new year but in the end it was worth the product of high quality i recommend perfect Fully recommended powerful l2 and quality
Good price on a flashlight with enough throw to see house numbers across the street at night, which is why I bought it. It would be nice if the flashing modes had another button or were disableable somehow - it's annoying to point this thing at someone's house and they get a strobe or SOS pattern. Not subtle. Battery life great and comes with charger. I'd buy it again.

Okay, so I take an order from a Brown Univ. twinks mom for his girlfriend, who happens to be Emma Watson. The order is out on the counter. I go in back to send out some ftd's and who's at the counter....yeah, Emma. I nonchalantly turned the order upside down while she sniffed jasmine. Too Providence.
Who knew Emma Watson could eat a 30 oz 40 day dry aged steak?....with a little help from boyfriend & his folks.
Facebook et Twitter ne sont pas les sources les plus fiables du net, mais il faut avouer que 2 fois en l'espace de 4 jours, c'est plutôt suspect.

Why does the preview trigger setup show that profiles will enter my flow if they don't qualify?
It is likely that instead of setting up a trigger filter or flow filter, you have set up a trigger split (or conditional split) in your flow. The preview trigger setup feature is only able to tell you if a profile will enter your flow based on the trigger or flow filters in place, not any splits located in your flow path.
If you want to confirm whether or not you are using a filter or a split, look at the location within your flow. Flow filters and trigger filters are always included at the very top of your flow in the same gray box as your flow trigger. Conditional splits and trigger splits can be located anywhere on your flow path.

Betches Media presents Diet Starts Tomorrow, a new podcast on all things weight loss, wellness and fitness from the no-bullsh*t perspective of real women who have experienced the struggle throughout most of their lives, and have come to lose substantial weight.

Diet Starts Tomorrow is hosted by Betches Co-Founders, Aleen Kuperman and Samantha Fishbein, where they discuss their own wellness journey, and everything from which fitness routines are actually attainable for the working betch, to staying healthy on vacation when all your friends are peer pressuring you to binge drink and share the truffle fries, to the reality that the "wellness" culture on instagram is secretly sabotaging your expectations, and more.

Elon Mask sent Tesla Roadster to spaceFebruary 7, 2018
The electric car Tesla Roadster went into space as a payload for the newest carrier rocket Falcon Heavy. At the moment the Tesla car has already left the field of gravity and started moving towards the asteroid belt. This in his Twitter said the head of the American automaker Ilon Mask. Also, the founder of the SpaceX project published a corresponding video taken at the Mission Control Center.
"A view from the SpaceX Flight Control Center. Apparently, there is a car on Earth's orbit ", – wrote Mask.
The roadster Tesla, which went into space, had previously belonged to the Mask itself. Behind the wheel of an electric car is a dummy in a helmet. The camera is fixed behind it. The video shows that the phrase "Do not panic" is displayed on the instrument panel screen. The successful launch of the newest Falcon Heavy booster rocket took place on Tuesday from the cosmodrome at Cape Canaveral (Florida).
At the end of last year Tesla introduced the new generation Roadster sports car. Serial production of the two-door must begin in 2020, and its cost will be about $ 200,000. The Tesla Roadster has three electric motors, thanks to which the acceleration to 60 miles per hour (96 km / h) takes only 1.9 seconds.

It's been a busy week. I went to NY City last Wednesday (the 6th) to pick up my son from the end of his junior college year. I thought I could take it easy when we arrived home. However within five minutes of returning from my seven-hour round trip and unloading the car, I was "invited" to play Frisbee. Turns out my son wants to try out for the NYU Ultimate Frisbee team next fall and needs to practice. It was too good a chance to bond with my boy, so I re-learned how to throw and catch. I still have some bruises almost a week later.
After an hour of running after the spinning disc—no leaps, jumps and falls—I gave up and admitted I was tired. I had really been pushing hard and hoping he would want to stop first. In fact he played for another hour with his friend who happened to drop by shortly after I called it quits.
The next morning I was playing tennis doubles for 90 minutes, then an hour plus of practicing my spin serve with one person. My tennis game is really improving. Yet I am impressed that players who are not as good as I am overall are very comfortable correcting my game. And you know what—they often make good points, even if I think that I should be the one giving advice.
Then I fit in an hour of squash practice—mostly return of backhand serve. Read the rest of this entry »


text: To fix the housing crisis, Theresa May needs public and private sector collaboration Joe Garner, Chief Executive | Nationwide 5 min read13 March 2018 Partner content There will never be sufficient progress addressing the housing challenge without the private and public sectors working more closely together, says Joe Garner, Chief Executive, Nationwide Building Society. There is much talk of Brexit meaning a divided Britain, but whether Remainer or Leaver, young or old, on the left or right, we can all agree on one thing: the problems in the housing market still need addressing. As the PM flagged in her recent housing speech we need to ensure that through the Brexit process nobody feels they have been left behind. She clearly identified one of the biggest barriers to social mobility we face today is our failure to build enough of the right homes in the right places. Much of the brunt of the housing issue is felt by young people and families - subject in some cases to landlords who don't treat them with respect, tenancies which aren't stable and house prices which aren't in their league. Together these can create a feeling of resentment. Anyone who cares about the fabric and fairness of our society is likely to care deeply about this issue. That's what mutuality has always been about: helping each other so we can achieve more. While Nationwide Building Society has the scale to make a difference, addressing the housing challenge requires cooperation and action between many different parties. Looking back through history, the only time that supply has broadly kept pace or exceeded demand was when both the public and private sectors have been firing on all cylinders. A current coalition of the willing might combine a Government seeking to deliver the Prime Minister's personal mission to build more homes with campaigners, landlords, tenants, housebuilders and lenders. In confronting this challenge, we have new techniques which can help us build smarter, cheaper homes – more quickly. Whilst construction methods have made rapid advances, the central objective remains the same. Put simply, how can we ensure that every home is one in which we'd be happy for our own families to live? The primary issue is supply. While the supply of homes remains squeezed we won't be able to solve this challenge. Though the major developers and their traditional building techniques are a key part of the answer, we should look to innovation too. For example, to challenge existing practice we're funding a multi-million pound housing project in our home town of Swindon. Our site may only provide 200 homes, but we hope it might be a test bed for delivering housing in a new way. Although we are not doing the actual construction ourselves, we're putting local people at the heart of the planning and design process, influencing everything from the look and feel to the layout of properties. In short, we are sticking our neck out as a lender to get diggers in the ground and get building, and others could do the same. Ensuring everyone has an affordable and safe place to call home extends to rented homes too. The number of families living in the private rented sector has ballooned over the past decade, increasing by around a million, with a number living in homes that no-one would want their children to grow up in. The most dangerous homes are already illegal to let out. But some tenants appear to be trapped in the gap between what is legal and what is acceptable; in the quarter of sub-standard private rented homes which fail to meet the Government's Decent Home Standards due to issues like damp and mould. Nationwide Building Society – through our buy to let lender, The Mortgage Works, has committed to only lend on new homes broadly equivalent to the Decent Homes Standard. By educating and supporting our own landlords, we're hoping to positively influence the behaviour of others across the country; ensuring they understand and meet their responsibilities and setting a higher bar for what tenants should expect. It was for this reason we joined others in supporting the Fitness for Human Habitation Bill, sponsored by Karen Buck MP, to give tenants greater power to take legal action against the worst landlords. And when it comes to unscrupulous landlords, we want to make sure we're not lending to them at all. The Government is establishing a database of rogue landlords, and we're keen for that information to be shared more widely. There's a lot that banks, building societies and developers can and are doing to help. But we'll never make sufficient progress without the private and public sectors working more closely together. Alongside Government, councils, construction companies and other organisations need to work together to consider solutions as a whole. Last year Nationwide convened a Partnership Board of powerful players to drive best practice in the private rented sector, including ARLA Propertymark, Shelter, Countrywide, the Nationwide Foundation and the National Landlords Association. We need collaboration like this to ensure the sector works for everyone. It is incumbent on all of us to do what we can to fix this. The time for action is now. We're keen to play our part, and hope to encourage others to contribute.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) – The Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend has appealed a more than $400,000 judgment that it was ordered to pay a former language arts teacher who underwent in vitro fertilization treatments.
Emily Herx filed a federal gender discrimination case against the diocese in 2012 after her contract wasn't renewed at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School. She argued that the diocese treated male teachers in similar situations differently than her and that she had been discriminated against because she had tried to become pregnant for the third time.
The (Fort Wayne) Journal Gazette reports that the diocese claims it chose not to renew Herx's contract because she violated church teachings.
Herx originally was awarded $1.9 million in damages, but the award later was cut to just over $403,000.

Changing Swimming Pool Water
Changing swimming pool water and how often is a question many of our Antelope Valley pool service clients ask. This is because of the recent lift on restrictions when it comes to water conservation in Palmdale and Lancaster. As a general rule of thumb change water every five to seven years. Factors like chemicals, filter, and vacuum usage, plus water type (soft or hard) plays an important role when changing water. Other things that play an important role on how often water is changed are water evaporation levels and how often pools get serviced.
Changing Swimming Pool Water Factors
As mentioned above how often you change the swimming pool water has many factors to consider. One important reason water needs changing neglected chemical balancing. If for any reason the chlorine and PH levels are not correct and drop between levels of 1.0 PPM it becomes ineffective at keeping water swim-safe. Algae and other bacteria at this point will flourish. It's always best to have PH levels between 7.2 and 7.6.
Another thing to remember is water type. Many swimming pools and the Antelope Valley use both hard and soft water. Pools that use hard water need servicing more often because of the buildup of minerals. It's important with hard water swimming pools to scrub and brush walls often.
If water is cloudy or green for long periods of time or smells bad those are reasons to consider changing water. There are times when shocking the pool will fix been cloudy and bad-smelling water but in cases that are very bad, it's best to completely change the pool water.
Got questions about changing swimming pool water for you Lancaster, Palmdale or Quartz Hill area swimming pool? Our technicians have over 20 years experience maintaining swimming pools in the Antelope Valley and are here to help.

Luton Town's board have hit back at suggestions the club lacks ambition following the sale of Carlos Edwards and Rowan Vine to Sunderland and Birmingham respectively.
Some Hatters fans vented their fury over the departures during Saturday's 2-0 Coca-Cola Championship home defeat to Barnsley.
Chants of "Where's the money gone?" rang out around the ground from disgruntled fans keen to make their anger known.
And keen to avoid a repeat in tonight's rearranged FA Cup third round replay against London rivals QPR, the board, led by chairman Bill Tomlins, released a statement.
It read: "At no time have we wanted to sell any players or put pressure on our management to do so.
"The simple facts are that, in the modern game, external influences play a key part in determining players' futures.
"In both cases we had offers for the players concerned, which are first given to our manager to determine if they meet his valuation.
"The initial offers were turned down for the very reasons given, that we did not want to sell and in any event the prices offered were not acceptable.
"In both cases further offers followed and, as we all know from the various reports in the national Press, other people - external to the club - were trying to influence the outcome at the same time.
"We then have the modern day dilemma, the prices being offered meeting the manager's valuation and the players are informed accordingly. Thereafter, it is very much in the hands of the player and his agent."
The statement continued: "We fully understand and share our fans' passion for Luton Town FC to be in a position to compete in the Premiership.
"However, we all have to be realistic as to where we have recently come from, the economics of the business and where we all want to go. As a board we won't jeopardise the club's future."
The club's financial plight would not have been helped by the postponement of the original third-round replay between the two sides last week. But the coffers could be swelled substantially if they beat Rangers tonight.
A televised fourth-round home clash against Blackburn awaits the winners and both will be eager for the extra revenue.

SolarWorld Shutting Down Camarillo Offices
Thursday, January 9, 2014
SolarWorld USA will close its Camarillo administrative facility next month, a move that will eliminate 59 employees.
The U.S. subsidiary of SolarWorld AG, based in Bonn, Germany, has gradually shrunk its Ventura County presence since opening a solar panel manufacturing plant in Oregon in 2009. At one time, the company had a six-building campus in Camarillo and employed more than 300 workers.
Positions to be eliminated include heads of marketing and sales, customer service representatives, product marketing specialists and project managers, according to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification filed with the state Employee Development Department. The office will close in November, and positions will be phased out before then.
Attempts to reach a representative of SolarWorld were not successful.
In September 2011, SolarWorld shut down its solar panel manufacturing operations in Camarillo and eliminated about 180 positions. Just over a year later, another 23 sales, marketing and human resources positions were cut.
SolarWorld USA purchased the Camarillo factory in 2006. Solar panel development and manufacturing has taken place there since the 1970s under previous owners, including Shell, the Dutch oil and energy company, and Siemens AG, a German engineering and electronics multinational.
