On December 20th, 2016 I graduated as a bachelor of business administration after three and a half years of studies at Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK). It has been difficult for me to believe how fast time went and that I have actually graduated. In the beginning I wasn't certain that I would continue these specific studies till the end. That's why I'm so proud of myself and of this achievement. Hence, I decided to create a blogpost for anyone that is interested in studying International Business at HAMK.
Let me start from the beginning, meaning the spring of 2013. That's when the last year of my studies at upper secondary school were going on and I had to decide where to apply next. During the whole study year I had attended events were current university students were telling about their studies and how they made the decisions on what to study. I couldn't see any interesting career paths; however, I got excited by a presentation, which was about studying in English. If you didn't know, the official languages of Finland are Finnish and Swedish.
As I had no idea on what to study next, but I was interested in English studies, I ended up checking the bachelor degrees taught in English. I made a conscious decision of limiting my search to universities of applied sciences, because I didn't see myself as a university student. I also wanted to keep on living at home, at least for the first year of my studies, which limited my search even more. That's when I found a town of Valkeakoski, which is rather close to my hometown, Hämeenlinna.
In the end I applied for three universities of applied sciences, which offered International Business studies. To be honest, I wasn't interested in business at all, but I was eager to study in English and in a cross-cultural environment. Moreover, I believed that business studies are useful no matter what you end up doing in life. I did apply for a similar degree taught in Finnish language and also a degree related to health, but I knew those weren't meant for me. My main goal was to continue studies directly after upper secondary school was over even though I didn't know what I would like to study as I didn't think I could solve this question during a cap year.
It was a HUGE surprise for me that I was accepted as an International Business student at HAMK, because I didn't have an optimistic feeling after the entrance exams. When I received the email about being accepted, I was in shock, because it meant studying in English. At that moment I trusted in my written English, however, I was slightly scared of speaking it.
On September 1st, 2013 the studies started with multiple lectures. I remember the day being rather sad for me, because I didn't feel like I belong there. It was all very overwhelming. I don't know how to describe the feelings that I had during the whole autumn semester. I bought the student card only for the first academic year, because I didn't believe that I would last so long. I've never been a quitter due to which I forced myself to continue the studies and aim towards good results.
On the positive side, I loved the multicultural atmosphere. My classmates came from various countries; China, Vietnam, Russia, Kosovo, Slovakia, Kenya and Canada, which was cool. It was interesting to hear their stories, learn about different cultures and simply to get to know them. Of course, the cultural differences generated some problems during group work, but hey, those are called learning possibilities. Naturally, some people just don't click, meaning that group work was easier with some people no matter what their background was.
You can have many opinions about the teachers, but I don't have anything negative to say. I think it's good that people have their own ways to teach, because it creates variety. Moreover, students have varied ways to learn, so it would be unfair if every teacher followed the same pattern. For example, our marketing teacher connected stories with teaching, our management teacher valued self-learning highly, and the other management/law teacher believed in laughter during lectures and one teacher enjoyed connecting technology with studies. Of course, the common feature was group work in their courses.
What comes to the courses, the first year was full of basic studies related to business functions, professional English, marketing and accounting. During that time we also had to decide our major. We had two options; global marketing and global management. I went for marketing without any reason. As said earlier, I didn't have a passion for business studies. Some of my classmates were so passionate and motivated by business, which increased my insecurity. Luckily, I also met people who had some doubts about these specific studying being meant for them.
The second year was rather easy for me, as I started it by conducting a four months long Erasmus exchange in Thessaloniki, Greece. I have written multiple blogposts about it in the past, so I don't repeat too much. It was an experience, which taught me a whole lot about myself, but not so much study wise. It's not because I would have been partying all the time (as I simply don't go to clubs or bars), but because the English teaching capacity of the professors was rather limited in Greece. Moreover, the courses that I was supposed to have were cancelled, so I had to find replacements. Erasmus in Greece wasn't a good experience for me, but still a memorable one. I wish I could have gone to my first option, but as the universities were renewing the co-operation contract, I ended up in Greece. If you want to study, I don't recommend Greece! If you want to party, then Thessaloniki is the right place for you!
When the third year started, I had come to terms with my studies. I knew I would finish no matter what. The autumn semester went quickly, but when the courses of spring semester started, I was surprised. We had to think of our thesis, but that's not what surprised me. I attended two courses: organizational development and change management, which truly opened my eyes. I didn't do that well in the exams, because I'm more of a doer than an essay-writer. There was a combined project organized during three courses, human resource management being the third course, which I didn't have. There I got to do a project with a lovely and super talented German double degree student. Everyone kept on saying how difficult the project was, but I enjoyed it a lot. Because of this project being so fun, having such an amazing teammate and reaching a great end result, I felt like I had done the correct decision, when I applied to HAMK.
This feeling helped me with my thesis project, which wasn't as difficult as people said. I created a social media marketing plan for a local hotel, which wanted to increase customer awareness through social media. The topic wasn't that difficult to decide on even though my interest had already shifted towards management. Finding the theory, conducting the research and writing down the results wasn't that difficult. I could even say that I enjoyed this process. When it came to the recommendations, the challenges began. However, I overcame those, which meant that the final thesis seminar wasn't that challenging. I even had only my PowerPoint slides to rely on, meaning that I had come a long way with my presentation skills and courage to speak in English. I'm happy with my thesis, but I know it could have been even better, if I had a topic that truly motivated me.
When the studies ended, I was relieved and proud of myself, because I felt like a winner. On the other hand, it was sad, because I had just started to enjoy the studies and feel like I belonged there. I don't really regret anything, because it was I and my personality which prevented me from doing things. I can only ask questions from myself. Would I have more friends if I lived in Valkeakoski? If I moved there I could have met my classmates outside of university. Do people think that I don't want to spend time with them due to me not attending any parties organized by student union? It would have been against my nature to go to a club, because even though I sometimes drink alcoholic drinks, I hate places with loud music and I dislike dancing. Moreover, I was rather shy during the first years of the studies, which meant that I didn't start so many conversations even though I enjoy talking with people.
Anyway, the studies at HAMK gave be knowledge above the International Business courses. I learned about myself, I grew as a person, my English skills enhanced, my cultural knowledge grew and I made some hopefully lifelong connections. I still wish the feeling of belonging happened earlier during these studies, because I bet many situations would have been different. On the positive note, I can consider master studies in the future, after I gain work experience that is.
To sum up, you can only win if you study in a cross-cultural environment!
|Happy graduate of business administration.

Closed Loop Treatment
Closed Loop systems require careful evaluation and special monitoring techniques
Considerations Include:
- Makeup rate
- Oxygen intrusion
- Contaminants
- Metallurgies
- Temperature
and Pressures
- System volumes
- Flowrate
- Filtration
- Freeze protection
Special monitoring often required:
- Inhibitor levels
- pH
- Conductivity
- Microbiological levels (aerobic and anaerobic)
- Ammonia
- Corrosion coupons
- Corrosion byproducts (iron, copper)
Understanding the closed loops and proper monitoring allows the proper design of chemical treatment. Often a system needs to be cleaned and sterilized with treatments such as peracetic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide. Other cleaning programs can effectively remove corrosion products or other deposits. Ongoing treatment will require inhibitors and non-oxidizing biocides.

Proton beam therapy is a highly effective, globe saving local treatment for ocular melanoma, but efficacy of treatment is dependent on proper localization and placement of tantalum rings in preparation for irradiation. The ring placement currently relies on tumor localization intraoperatively using transillumination of the globe. The goal of this study was to evaluate the relative accuracy of this localization method compared to ultrasonography, and to identify tumor characteristics that would affect the relative accuracy of these two methods.
This study is a retrospective chart review of all eyes with ocular melanoma from 2006 to 2014 who had tantalum rings placed in preparation for proton beam therapy where the placement of the rings were localized using both transillumination and ultrasonography. All tantalum rings were placed under general anesthesia by the same surgeon. Each eye had four rings placed at the edges of the tumor. Transillumination through the globe was performed intraoperatively to determine the distance between the rings to tumor edge. The distance between the ring and tumor edge was reconfirmed by ultrasonography postoperatively among the identified patients.
Among 53 patients with ocular melanoma treated with proton beam irradiation, we identified 18 patients (18 eyes) who had tumor localization performed using both ultrasonography and transillumination. The mean age was 63 years (range 22 to 89 years) and 44% were female. Among 71 rings placed around 18 tumors, 30 rings (42%) had tumor to ring distance of 1mm or greater difference between the two methods (range 0 to 4 mm difference, mean 1.1 mm + 0.3 mm). The tumor feature associated with a greater difference in tumor localization between the two imaging techniques was increasing tumor height (p value = 0.04). Tumor pigmentation (p value = 0.77) and tumor location (p value = 0.16) did not significantly affect the difference in tumor localization using the two imaging methods in this study.
Tumor localization with tantalum rings in preparation for proton irradiation for treatment of choroidal melanoma may have some limitation in accuracy when using transillumination method alone. Postoperative ultrasonography may be a useful supplemental method of reconfirming the accuracy of tumor localization especially in tumors of increasing thickness.

Advantages of Full Day Option
Deliveree customers have always been welcome to use either the ordinary delivery request or the full-day rental option, depending on the courier service they need. More often than not, customers who choose the full-day option are those who need assistance in house-moving, office-moving, catering transport, and delivering more than 10 packages with separate destinations. And they are right to choose the full-day option for those kinds of delivery tasks because the said option offers a lot perks that the ordinary delivery does not have.
10-hour service
If you think that your delivery request might take more than a while to accomplish, choosing the full-day option is most recommended—for 10 whole hours, a Deliveree driver partner and his delivery vehicle will solely be at your service. The 10-hour service feature under the full-day option is one of the reasons why more and more entrepreneurs are choosing Deliveree as their logistics partner.
Unlimited destinations
The full-day option comes with an unlimited destination offer as long as the drop-off points are within our location or Deliveree service area. If you have several package destinations and you think the delivery would cover plenty of mileage, it would be practical for you to choose the full-day option. It could also save you more money as it has a fixed price no matter how many drop-off destinations you have and how many kilometers your booking has to cover.

Reptiles have gone through boom and bust cycles in Japan, but this time they appear here to stay. Though still a small proportion of Japan's pet population, Harada said about 80,000 people now own them. Clean and quiet, they usually reside in terrariums -- a big plus in Japan's cramped apartments, whose leases often forbid conventional four-footed friends because of their mess and noise. "They're also way more convenient than dogs or cats because you don't have to make time for walks. And some of them don't even need to be fed more than once a week, freeing you to go off on trips," said Harada, who himself owns 30 reptiles. Nationwide, snakes and lizards tie for second place in popularity among reptiles. Turtles remain number one, in part due to a well-known Japanese folktale, "Urashima Taro", in which a young man rescues a turtle, who changes into a beautiful woman and takes him to a kingdom under the sea.
Social pressure also has an impact. "A lot of people are afraid their neighbours will think they're weird if they keep snakes or iguanas," said the owner of a Tokyo reptile shop, declining to give his name. But many reptile lovers believe the real reason behind their popularity is the Zen-like solace they offer from the hurly-burly of real life -- especially now, when economic pressures and job fears loom large for many. "Reptiles have very contained lives in their own environment and live at their own pace," said Hitoshi Koieyama, director of the Reptile Clinic, Japan's only reptile hospital. "This seems to make people feel calm." There is, in addition, the cathartic effect of fright. "Reptiles, especially snakes, bring a bit of the fear of nature into your home. People need that tiny sense of danger," Harada said. "If a snake doesn't come after you, it's no fun." This pleasure does not come cheaply. While some iguanas can cost as little as 2,000 yen ($18.25), more exotic beasts such as chameleons can cost hundreds of dollars. And some go for as much as 300,000 yen or more, encouraging a black market in illegal imports. Several Japanese, including a couple on their honeymoon, were arrested in Australia last year, their luggage found crammed with rare reptiles.
Although the ascetic nature of reptiles makes their care seem easier than that of other pets, this is deceptive. In fact, detailed recreation of their natural environment, with dry sand or lush greens, and elaborate calibrations of heat and humidity, is needed to keep them alive. The smallest deviation may cause trouble. Air-conditioning, essential for human owners in Japan's hot, soggy summers, gives many animals colds or pneumonia, while the dry heat of winter homes can cause life-threatening constipation in iguanas. Maintaining a nutritional balance is also hard, Koieyama said. "People have to give them as much attention as their kids." Or even more. Koieyama said he knew at least one mother who spent more time on her iguanas than her children. In his clinic, Koieyama treats ailing reptiles with a mix of gentleness and cutting-edge technology, referring to his patients as "little ones". An enervated lizard gets a vitamin injection and is soon jumping around its cage, while a skink with paralysed hindquarters receives a laser treatment. If needed, he even does surgery -- removing eggs from a turtle unable to lay due to stress, or fixing an iguana's broken leg. "It's so hard to tell when a reptile isn't feeling well that they usually come in on the brink of death," he says.
After hearing such problems, Harada decided to start "Scale" magazine to provide help for owners who might not know for example, that the little iguana they were buying would in three years at least triple in size. The glossy, twice-yearly journal is crammed with information on building terrariums, chameleon propagation efforts, and a look at iguana health through the seasons. Ads plug food guaranteed to produce "well-nourished, healthy mice" for feeding snakes. "Reptiles are just really cute," Harada said, struggling to express his feelings. "Even their expressions are cute." "All I have to do is see one little scale, and I just melt."
His passion for the Skycar and its potential to change society is shared by some senior U.S. government scientists, who say he is perfecting the technology necessary to spring commuters from earthbound traffic jams and send them flying free into the skies. "It is not a question of if but of when," said Dennis Bushnell, chief scientist at NASA's Langley Research Center, the nation's leading civil aeronautics laboratory. "The market is there. The technology is there. What will slow this down is government regulation."
The M400 Skycar, the result of 30 years of research and the equivalent of more than $100 million in investment, certainly looks like futuristic transportation. With a slim, tapered body hunched between four massive engine cases, the vehicle resembles a ruby-red Batmobile equipped with jets and an elegant single wing rising like a gigantic spoiler off the tail. The passenger compartment features a bubble-like glass canopy to provide views of the landscape below and the endless sky above. The four-seater model is designed to carry a maximum payload of 740 pounds (335 kg), have a range of up to 900 miles (1,440 km) and get roughly 15 miles-per-gallon (24 kpg), using regular automotive fuel. The price tag, thus far, is estimated at a steep $1 million. But Moller officials say they are confident that, with time and increased production, the price could be brought down to a more affordable $60,000.
Jack Allison, the company's vice president, said flight tests were scheduled to begin behind closed doors by the end of September, and that the plan was to display an airborne Skycar to the world media by the end of the year -- although initially the vehicle would only be shown hovering, tethered to a crane. "We want to be close to 100 percent confident before we take it in front of the public," Allison said. When the M400 makes its public debut, it will take its place in a long line of "vertical take off and landing" (VTOL) vehicles that Robert Moller has created, including a series of wacky, flying saucer-style machines that proved more photogenic than airworthy.
Moller, a Canadian-born engineer fascinated by the hovering techniques of hummingbirds and mosquitoes, began working on a VTOL, or "volantor," in his garage in the early 1960s while he was a professor at the University of California at Davis. His first effort, the XM-2, was powerful enough to take off but proved wobbly in the air. For the next 20 years he tinkered with the idea, becoming so committed to its success that he left the university to found Moller International. In 1989 he introduced the M200X, a volantor in which the pilot sits in the middle of a round disc that has eight high-powered fans arranged around its rim. This vehicle was able to take to the air and had good vertical thrust and stability. But it proved balky, sending Moller and his engineering team back to the drawing board.
The scientists agreed that the keys to the project were the engines, which had to be both powerful and lightweight enough to send the Skycar soaring. The answer was found in the rotary engine developed by German scientist Felix Wankel in 1957. Unlike traditional piston engines, Wankel's engine features a triangular rotor turning inside a combustion chamber, a simple and efficient design that has only two moving parts. Moller modified the Wankel engine further, making it significantly lighter and connecting it directly to the fan blades that generate thrust for the Skycar. This thrust is directed through the rounded engine housing and shoots jet-like through vanes that can be angled downward to generate lift, as well as back for forward push. Having bought the technology behind the Wankel engine in 1985, Moller International's improvements have made the motors into a marketable commodity once again. Smaller versions of the engine have been fitted in motorcycles, boats and into a hybrid gas-electric car, all markets for an engine that promises both reliability and relatively low pollution levels. But for Moller the engine will always be first and foremost the "enabling technology" for his Skycar -- the next big thing in moving people around the globe.
Moller's supporters in the scientific community say the Skycar will revolutionize the way people live, a transformation as great as when the automobile supplanted the horse-and-buggy. With advances in satellite tracking technology, planners are close to implementing a system that would allow computers to run small aircraft like the Skycar as 100 percent "fly-by-wire" vehicles -- removing the need for on board pilots and removing the danger of a fender bender at 20,000 feet (6,096 m). NASA's Bushnell said that with computer controlled Skycars moving efficiently through the skies, highway traffic jams would vanish. The vast range afforded by the new vehicles would also change the structure of the community, feeding into similar changes being wrought by the Internet. "There is a lot of empty space in this country," Bushnell said. "With telecommuting, and this machine, you can live where wherever you want. The country will de-urbanize to a much greater extent than it is now."
Automobile industry analysts have been a much harder sell, with few placing bets that the station wagon is headed for the dust heap of history any time soon. "You haven't even got computers running cars yet, let alone aircraft," said Jim Hall, an analyst at Autopacific Inc. "But the real issue is affordability, and the affordability of this thing is not proven. If they end up making a $300,000 flying car that's great, but it's not a growth market."
The restaurant, in the Rue Montorgueil pedestrian zone near Les Halles in central Paris, has just closed for a short break. But founder Philippe Reihac says he will reopen it later this year to continue what he calls both an amusing social experiment and a serious exercise in understanding blindness. "People react differently. Some are claustrophobic and leave immediately, others enjoy it so much they don't want to leave at all, but everyone finds it memorable," he says. "People come for the fun of it. Then they realise they can ask us anything, nothing is taboo. It's amazing the gap there is to fill," says Michel Rossetti, who lost his sight 10 years ago. "I need you to hold hands and form a chain, we're going down into the dark," one of the organisers tells a group of guests as they quaff down orange wine aperitifs. In a bizarre reversal of roles, blind guides shepherd the group through a makeshift restaurant to their tables as they paw vainly at the darkness, wide-eyed and blinking. Once seated, the helpless diners will need braille menus translated and be guided, mouthful by mouthful, through dinner.
"It may sound silly, but there's a certain smug satisfaction in the blind leading the sighted," Rossetti told Reuters with a grin. "I get a lot of pleasure out of it." Once past the three thick curtains which shield out every ray of light, only bumps and squeals disturb the blackness. Faced with a daunting obstacle course of tables and chairs, guests lose any scruples about grabbing strangers to help them. "Help ! Where is everyone?" cries one. "Can someone take my hand? Thanks. Ouch! Hello? Is that a chair? Excellent! Oops, I'm sorry, I didn't see you were sitting on it." Open for just three months, the Gout du Noir is the most ambitious in a series of dark events that Reilhac, a former Cannes film festival administrator, has dreamed up since 1992. In a typical evening, one diner sits down too soon and finds herself alone at the wrong table while another swerves to avoid non-existent pillars. Everybody sticks their fingers into the humous and fish starter while trying to find their plates. As knives slide off plates and forks come up empty, fingers replace cutlery and faces drop to gobble guiltily from plates. "For the first time in my life I licked my plate clean without a single horrified look," one woman said afterwards. Yet the guides politely point out they would never dream of eating sloppily in public -- a gentle reminder the evening is not supposed to end up as a chimpanzees' tea party.
"People generally want to take it seriously and understand our handicap," says Rossetti. "There's always some messing about but if people started throwing food about I'd get up and leave." Shame prevents most guests letting their manners get out of hand as they marvel at how deftly their hosts handle food and wine and how easily they flit to the buffet and back. But for the less-adept sighted diners, every dropped napkin is lost forever and the salt remains elusive to the last. "Can someone pass the bread? Where are you? I can't find your hand," cries one distressed woman, before Rossetti guides her hand to a tendered baguette. "How am I supposed to pour the wine? How will I know when it's full? Oh no! I think it went on my plate, but I don't know," yells the man next to her.
By dessert, the mayhem settles and the hilarity fades. With inhibitions erased by the dark, a barrage of questions is volleyed at the hosts. What do they miss most? Colours. Independence. Being able to tell by someone's expression whether they are interested in what they are saying. What do they hate most? People thinking if you're blind you must be deaf too. That well-wishing passers-by shove you across roads without even asking if you wanted to cross. And the hardest thing? Moving from place to place. The humiliation of asking directions only to find there's nobody there. And the fact that a handicap never goes away. But the guides pepper their answers with funny anecdotes, and the overriding message is optimistic. "People find blindness the most frightening of all handicaps but you can live with it fine as long as the people around you understand what it's like," says Rossetti. After the meal, diners are led upstairs for coffee without getting to see what the restaurant actually looks like. Once in the light, they're amazed to see who they've been talking to and nobody leaves without leaving a comment in the guest book. "A flavoursome encounter, laughter, intimacy, darkness became clear -- what a surprise and what a sweet pleasure for the soul," read one entry. And in almost-perfect braille, another read simply: "SVPER".
After making the leap from alfalfa field to kitchen, the insects' next step could be onto the plates of astronauts. "You can't take cows out to space, but you can carry colonies of insects," said Julieta Ramos Elorduy, an insect specialist at Mexico City's UNAM university and author of several cook books involving insect recipes. "There are 3,687 species in the world of edible insects, and 400 in Mexico. They're extremely nutritional because most of their bodies are made up of proteins. They could be the foodstuff for long space journeys," she added. A space ship could have buckets full of worms multiplying as astronauts blast out to the stars. In Mexico, insects are boiled in lemon, sprinkled with chili or fried in olive oil to make ant egg tacos or bug pate. Sprinkle some ground nuts and seasoning over a plate of pasta and voila!: spaghetti al la gusano amarillo (yellow worms). For Bautista Antonio, going to market in Oaxaca with a large basket of chili-flavored grasshoppers balanced on her head, the space-age possibilities of insect cuisine are of little relevance. On a good day she can make 800 pesos ($86), a fortune in rural Mexico, and she is quite happy to sell to locals and the occasional curious tourist. "It used to be that only Mexicans would buy. Now tourists are also interested, especially Italians," she told Reuters Television.
Eating insects is far from uncommon. In Mexico insect platters are regularly on the menu of poor countryside dwellers. In cities such as Mexico City, insects have become haute cuisine, with restaurants specializing in so-called pre-Hispanic foods charging high prices. In Washington, the "Insect Club" caters to the more delicate palates of North Americans, while Asians, Africans and the aborigines of Australia do not think twice about popping crackly critters down their gullets. Bees, wasps, ants, worms and grasshoppers top the popularity polls in Mexico. The thick, juicy worm that inhabits the Maguey cactus, often put in bottles of the fiery Mezcal spirit to give it that extra bit of bite, is a valued delicacy and is also cherished in Asia as a powerful aphrodisiac. Since Aztec times 500 years ago, fly larvae, or "ahuautle," has been known as the Mexican caviar. From February to April, ant egg hunters cover themselves up and dig down into the nests of ant colonies, searching for the precious larvae known in Mexico as "escamoles."
In the village of Teteapulco in central Hidalgo state, Eufrosina Dias Rios brushed a writhing layer of ants off her husband Juan Aguilar Rodriguez's back as he reached into an ant hole to find his lunch. "This stuff is really good for energy. Around here we all eat escamoles," Aguilar Rodriguez said as enraged ants sprinted all over his body and tried desperately to rescue some of the larvae from the pile he had poured onto a cactus leaf. Ramos Elorduy, author of "Creepy Crawly Cuisine," among others, said insects could become an increasingly important source of food for the world as populations grow and people run out of land for corn fields and cattle. "Insects already play a big role (in nutrition) but their importance will grow, not just because of shortages of other foods. It will be because of their resistance and because they eat everything," she said.
The resistance she mentions is perhaps the biggest problem these days with eating insects. They have gradually become immune to many insecticides but the toxins build up in their bodies and will enter the metabolism of anyone who eats them. That is why Miriam Cortez, a chemical engineer at the Oaxaca Technical Institute, is launching a program to ensure consumers can get grasshoppers with no unsavory ingredients. Under the brand name "Uxharu," the old Zapotec Indian word for grasshoppers, Cortez is bagging and bottling crickets caught in areas where farmers do not use insecticides. "We are trying to bring some standardization into the sales process," she said, adding that the idea was to offer a product that would not harm peoples' health. Cortez's dream is to export packaged grasshoppers to the United States, where up to 20 million immigrant Mexicans live. She reckons they might prefer to chew on a few grasshoppers to eating a bag of potato chips at snack time. There is only one problem with crickets. Their legs tend to get stuck between your teeth.
At the Los Angeles Kennel Club, if you want to treat your dog to something special you can choose from one of 14 individual theme cottages with a lounge bed and a color TV/VCR. The cost is $45 a day. For $55 a day, your dog gets the VIP suite in the night attendant's apartment. Interested in extras? Order up a massage ($40 an hour), hot oil treatment ($10) or special agility training ($6 per session). There is also a Yappy Hour ($2 per day), pool time ($6 per session), kindercare ($6 per day), geriatric care ($6 per day), summer recess ($6 per day), extra play time ($3 per session), picnic in the park ($6 per day) and jamboree ($6 per session). And if you do not have time to drop your pet off at the Kennel Club, which is next to the Los Angeles International Airport, a limousine will pick him or her up. Rates vary by distance. And those finicky felines have not been forgotten either. Luxury kitty condos run $20 a day, while the "VIK" (Very Important Kitty) suite is $30. Kennel managers say it is not unusual for pet owners to spend more for extras than for basic boarding fees. "They'll get extras because they feel guilty," said John Cooney, manager of Club Pet Inc. in Huntington, West Virginia. "People don't like leaving their dogs with other people." Cooney said he has had customers who call from their vacations and ask his staff to give their dog a massage because they just had one.
Club Pet's accommodations have orthopedic floors manufactured by a sports court maker. The luxury suites also have a toddler bed and a color TV/VCR. The staff makes sure their doggy guests enjoy all the popular dog movies, of course, such as "Turner & Hooch" and "All Dogs Go to Heaven." Luxury suites cost $23 weeknights, $25 weekends. Extras include massages ($5 for 10 minutes) and 15-minute playtimes and walks ($3 each). For dinner, dogs can chow down on a gourmet meal of the same high-quality hamburger that is served to greyhounds at a nearby dog track. The kennel is in the second stage of an expansion that will include theme rooms (Aspen, Colorado, or Cancun, Mexico, for example), as well as a swimming pool and grooming school. At Club Pet International in Chantilly, Virginia, outside Washington, which is not affiliated with the West Virginia kennel, dogs get turkey dinners on the major holidays and hamburger and hot dog cookouts on the Fourth of July and Labor Day, according to manager Bob Rollins. A regular extras package that includes morning and evening playtimes and doggy ice cream and cookies at night is $10. The basic boarding fee for an average-sized dog is $17.50.
The kennel is in the process of installing video cameras in some runs so people can keep track of their dogs via the Internet, Rollins said. That extra will cost about $10 a day. For cats, there is a "Purrwood Forest," which has trees and plants and artwork playing off the characters in Robin Hood's Sherwood Forest. Kellie Wright, 34, a certified public accountant from Huntington, West Virginia, said she spends the extra money for the deluxe accommodations at the nearby Club Pet so Chelsea, her 3-year-old West Highland White Terrier, "can be in a more home-like atmosphere." "I don't have children yet so she's like a child," Wright said, adding that Chelsea sleeps with her at home. Asked if Chelsea ever used the TV/VCR at the kennel, Wright laughed, saying, "I don't know. I haven't asked her." Debbie Shannon, a registered nurse from Kenova, West Virginia, uses Club Pet for Deejay, a mixed-breed German Shepherd who will be three in October."I don't treat her like a dog. I like for her to be treated like family," Shannon said. She said she wants Deejay to have a TV at the kennel just like at home. "When I leave her alone at home I always leave the radio or TV on for her because I like for her to have the stimulation and the feeling that she's not there alone."
Krack, the executive director of the kennels group, said the dog owners' feelings make sense. Except for one point. "Dogs are color blind so why would a dog want a color TV set?" he asked. "Black and white would be perfectly fine for the dog -- but not for the owner."
Kapow! One woman watching the show on Canada's Global Television was less than amused and fired off a letter to the channel's president. "Televising this anti-woman cartoon demands that you personally offer a televised apology to woman viewers of Global Television," wrote the complainant. Global replied that the cartoon in fact portrayed the female characters in a strong light. "Given this, we do not believe that this episode of Bugs Bunny portrays women in a negative way, nor that it contravenes any provision of the Sex-Role Portrayal Code," it said. Perhaps not surprisingly, this did not satisfy the woman, who then complained to the broadcasting standards council. "If the audience had been adults, perhaps we could chuckle and forget it. This cartoon was aimed at children who are forming their attitudes to men and women," she wrote. "Therefore, this cartoon is offensive not only to women, but it gives a wrong idea of women to impressionable children -- women are evil inside." The council rejected the complaint, saying in its final judgment that while it sympathized with the viewer, the allegedly offensive phrase had clearly been a throwaway line. "Moreover, there is nothing in the demeanor of Bugs Bunny or any other character or element of the episode of the 'Bugs Bunny and Tweety' show which suggests a program attitude which could be broadly interpreted as constituting 'negative or degrading comments on the role and nature of women'," it said. That's all, folks.
But the local chapter of Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) said Wednesday the apology was too little, too late. It said it was organizing pickets at Disney offices and stores in Los Angeles starting on Thursday. "There should be zero tolerance for this type of hatemongering and racial slander. We are not going to stand for it," said CORE vice chairwoman Sandra Moore. "We know of cases where young white males were riding around in their cars hollering at black women 'We just won a black hoe. Get in the car,'" Moore said, adding that other black activist groups were supporting the protest. The promotion ran on a KLOS-FM talk show for six weeks last year until a black woman employee at the radio station complained and it was discontinued. ABC said there no complaints from listeners at the time. Moore called for the two disc jockeys involved in the promotion -- Mark Thompson and Brian Phelps -- to undergo diversity training organized by black groups rather than in-house courses. Thompson and Phelps, whose show is a key attraction at KLOS-FM, are currently on vacation. Their show has continued and ABC did not specify what disciplinary action had been taken against them.
When he got to the Italian city, Rumbler was invited to the palazzo, where Cenni's "son" said his father was stuck at the hospital with his dying mother. "Inside, they were playing classical music very loudly. The son apologised for his father's absence and asked me to describe the portfolio of prints I had brought with me," Rumbler said. After two hours of waiting and phone calls, Rumbler was persuaded to leave the prints overnight so Cenni could see them when he got home. His guarantee? A receipt from the son. "I have to admit, it was our wedding anniversary and the print he wanted was one I hadn't managed to sell for a year. We were a little bit careless which is not an excuse," he said. After leaving, Rumbler never saw the Cennis again. "At first, I thought I would have a heart attack. Then I thought I would weep. It was a large amount of money, but I had to say Oh la, it was all our fault," he said.
The only consolation is that Rumbler is not the only one -- several of his colleagues have been similarly duped. "It was the same set-up each time. It was a fairly elaborate scheme," Sarah Jackson, historic claims director of the Art Loss Register in London, told Reuters. "(Cenni) would be unable to be there because he had a dying mother so the shipper or assistant would be left with the option of taking the painting home or leaving it in exchange for a receipt," she said. Some dealers were actually paid for the works of art but the cheques bounced. "It's unbelievable, absolutely amazing," said Christopher Mendez, a print dealer in London who alerted the police when two Italians tried to sell him some of Rumbler's stolen prints.
Interpol, the international police organisation, confirmed the scam was under investigation but declined to give details. "There have been swindles before but never as complicated as this," Mendez told Reuters. Rumbler had sent a list of the stolen prints to Mendez. Shortly afterwards, the two Italians came to Mendez's office, offering the very same prints for sale. "When these two idiots came in, I called the police," Mendez said. "What I can't understand is it was such a stupid thing to try to sell on the open market." Rumbler got 10 prints back, but one was badly damaged. He is out of pocket some $180,000. Jackson said she had not been able to determine how much money had been lost. "Not every dealer who has been duped has told the police or some may not have realised they were part of the same scam. No-one knows the size of this," she said. Rumbler sent out hundreds of messages to colleagues to warn them of the conniving conmen. It was only after his return from Venice that he realised some of the works on display in the palazzo had been prised from their owners only hours before.
"For years we've heard all the ideas for the perfect 'sports fan' chair -- you know, the kind that you can just hunker down in without having to get up between plays," La-Z-Boy vice president John Case said in a statement. "We figured, Why not? Let's make it. "Who needs skybox seats when you can get front-row luxury in your own living room?" Case said. "Oasis is the ultimate recliner for the true sports fan." La-Z-Boy said the chair will be available in a wide array of fabrics and leathers, and the company is even planning on introducing demonstration models in October in the colors of various sports teams.

Some black & whites from around the #furrycabin
For those of you who follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, you've probably seen the furrycabin hashtag. It how I usually distinguish images from around our personal lives with our animals. We live in a little cabin on the side of an old orchard, here in Northern Ireland. We have a few animals here at any one time; we also run an animal rescue between Olivia and I.
We have a few permanents and quite a few available for re homing. Even when I working I like to get out as often as possible and walk the fields with a few of them at a time. Sometimes they are all up for a walk and then some early mornings, its like anyone, they want to sleep in.
This was one of those mornings. I found these images, jumbled into Lightroom between other projects. it was an early morning snowfall, one of the few this season and only Frankie Legs, the lurcher puppy was up for the walk this day. It was an especially quiet morning with hardly any traffic on the nearby road and all the other animals still snoozing away.
If you would like to see more of the animals available for re homing, please visit us at Lucystrust.
Model test – Stuart
Been keeping busy with things around Lucy's Trust and work these past few months. Before I post something from the advertising world, I figured I'd post a quick test we shot with Stuart. We are in the middle of vying for a pretty big catalogue shoot coming up and we're looking for a late 30's, or 40 mature guy.
Stuart came forward a few weeks ago so we quickly did a test in between shoots. We went up to Black Mountain overlooking Belfast and couldn't have shot on a more drizzling day (you can actually see the rain in some of the shots). The fog was very heavy when we first turned up but we proceeded on, and sure enough it started to lift and give us some beautiful soft light.
It was a good quick shoot and the walk back to the cars was right on time as the skies started to open even more and pour down.
White Horse
Some of you might follow me on Facebook and might have seen some recent images I posted of a few of our horses, Molly and Apache.
I've been asked by a few followers to show my workflow on achieving the look and feel of them, so I'm going to dissect one of them.
Here we have the untouched image.
Just sort of a foggy, dreary overcast sort of feeling; flat light and low contrast.
Then with a few global corrections and b&w conversion in Lightroom.
The boost in contrast along with the black and white conversion and some heavy vignetting, really begin to draw your eye in towards Molly. Her muscles and facial features start to stand out dramatically.
Now when I take it into Photoshop,
I can selectively darken and lighten area using adjustment layers and layer masks. I boost the contrast some more while still keeping the highlights from totally losing it. I'm not too worried about the shadows blocking up because this was a very low contrast predominantly light image to begin with. At this point I'm quite happy with the image and it stands on its own fine.
Although if I wanted to play with it some more I could.
If I wanted to give this the feeling of an old Polaroid T55 negative that I might have taken on location then solarized it during processing, it might look something like this.
Now in Photoshop I crop it down roughly to a 4×5 negative size. I then layer it with another image from a set of images I use specifically for this purpose. Then by using different layer blending modes I choose the desired effect. At this point I add a layer mask and continue to paint in or out with a Wacom, different sections of the layered image to further the effect.
I hope you enjoy the images and keeping shooting.
Please feel free to comment.
Sorry I had to pull the last post down . . . .
The client has decided to take the campaign in a different direction. I will be using the images in some form for a self promotion but I won't be posting them up until the dust settles.
In the mean time, here's a pretty picture to look at while you're waiting.
Just for fun
A couple of quick shots of some flowers before we get pummeled with projects this week. I wanted to have something that I could maybe print up for Olivia's mother to hang in her house. Not sure if they work for her but maybe for us if she doesn't like them.
The quality out of this lens and film combination is very sweet and smooth.
Apocalyptic Calotypes
I had a little break in shooting so what should I do besides feed the horses?
Shoot more.
I had E.E. Kelly come into the studio, looking to do something different and I think I delivered. I was looking to create a more sinister, end of the world feel; maybe something like Sandra Bullock if she starred in Mad Max as Max.
We shoot a couple of frames in the studio, showing the starkness of the shaven head and the strength of her body with just one light and some negative fill. Then we went outside into the "zone". Olivier had been burning some rubbish, like he usually does, and it made for a very moody surrounding. Dust, smoke and fire with all the rubble made the two frames we shot feel like we were in another time for a moment. That is until the locals started pouring in when they heard there was a girl being photographed. Both images were shot on Harman Direct Positive, wide open at f4.7 and process in standard b&w chemicals.
I have been asked recently to submit to about a dozen different photo competitions and exhibitions. The only thing is that since my last show two years ago, I haven't really worked on any personal projects for myself.
Recently I've taken up going backwards in time. I'm ditching the digital and capturing images like we used to in the olden days, on silver based emulsions. Below are a couple of test images I created using the calotype method. It involves exposing photographic paper instead of film to create a paper negative. From that you can scan the image into Photoshop and play with it from there.
These images though are a little different. They are actually the positive prints right from the camera. The silver media is a positive print paper; very smooth and very very contrasty. By using a couple of different techniques I'm able to better control the contrast and lower it to a more natural feeling of a true black and white image. More experimenting to come and hopefully I'll have something I feel is worthy of a new exhibition.

Pip 🐶 and I had a walk around High Beeches Garden 🌳this week – and it was so sunny, and beautiful and it really feels as if spring is finally here.
We discovered many wonderful camellias 🌺 and some magnolias 🌸 – the purple flowers of Magnolia Lanarth are beginning to appear, however the lives of the flowers of many have been brutally cut short, by the nasty frost.
Most excitingly – Camellia Lady Vansittart 🌺, my favourite Camellia in the garden, is just starting to flower. It is the most magnificent tree as it has red AND white flowers, some just red, some just white, some white with red stripes and some pink with white tinges. It really is the most delightful tree, and it is worth a visit to the garden to observe just this tree with it's many coloured flowers in all their magnificence.
It was such a beautiful day ☀ – I am so excited for more spring and sunshine.


text: After almost 20 years in space, the Cassini space probe begins it's grand finale this month. Fuel reserves are dwindling and so NASA have decided that rather than allowing the craft to potentially crash into one of the moons of Saturn (i.e. random decay) and "contaminate" what could be potentially life harbouring environments; a more fitting end to this stunning mission is a controlled dive thru ever diminishing orbits around the master planet. Bisecting the cloudy upper atmosphere and the rings until a final, fatal, descent into Saturn itself, gathering and sending data all the while. A truly spectacular end to what has been one of the most productive and illuminating space missions in recent times. The picture above is Cassini's final picture of our home planet, in true Sagan'esc style the pale blue dot is quite simply "us" from a billion miles distance, goosebumps..

3 New Ways to Do a Push-Up
Trainers share their favorite ways to increase the strengthening power of this classic move.
Muscles are masters of adaptation: Once they get used to a movement, they stop getting stronger—and you stop seeing results. To prevent plateaus (and boredom), you need to keep changing your workout. An easy way to do it: Replace one of your go-to exercises with a new version. In this series, trainers share a few of their favorite fresh takes. Sub them into your routine to keep the results coming.
ORIGINAL MOVE: Push-up
BENEFITS: A push-up is one of the simplest, yet most effective, upper-body exercises. Holding a plank position while moving your weight up and down strengthens the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core.
NEW MOVES: Ball push-up reach; moving push-up; explosive lateral push-up

I read Mike's letter and found myself looking for his reasoning behind his comments. So I am here to
help set him and others that think like him.
The first assumption about employers wanting to eliminate coffee/smoke breaks is wrong, by law an employer needs to give any employee who works 5 or more hrs a 30 min break, that break can be divided into to 15 min breaks but at employer's discretion. There is no section in the employment standards act saying an employer must give an employee a smoke/coffee break if they work less than 5 hrs to do so is a perk.
The second assumption was about making an employee pay half their benefits, I believe this is entirely fair, if a person goes out and purchases extended health/life insurance they would pay 100%, I appreciate my boss for paying half. Some employers even pay more than half based on seniority, I worked for a company for 15 years and I only paid 10% my owner paid the other 90%. Extended health benefits is also not a right for an employee it is a perk.
His third and most erroneous assumption is that owning a franchisee is a licence to print money, that is a joke. Many franchisee owners take home less than their employees and in the case of my owners have not paid themselves in a couple months. I am going to break down some of the costs of owning a franchise.
Initial cost of purchasing a franchise is anywhere from $300,000 to over $1,000,000 depending on the company and unless you are a millionaire you need a bank loan and business loans are unlike a mortgage, you can't take a 20 year amortization, cost $5000-$10,000 per month. Next is franchise fees, these are the fees you pay the main company for using their name and trademarks, these again vary based on the franchise anywhere from 10-15% off the top. Now let's get to the actual cost of running a restaurant, most stores try to keep labour at 25% of sales but realistically it is 30% this is off gross sales not net. Now add in Work Safe fees, employer contribution to benefits (if offered) we will add 3% to that. Cost of goods, you need to purchase the product you sell, we call it food and paper cost and it runs you 25-30% of gross not net. Then we have operating costs these can fluctuate monthly and are difficult to calculate, these include equipment repair, utilities, business licence, insurance, building maintenance, and probably a few I forgot.
So lets look at this from a financial standpoint: gross sales $100,000/month, a 1.2 million dollar store. Labour $35,000 loan payment $10,000, cost of goods $25,000, franchise fees $15,000. Now these already add up to $85,000, and I haven't added in operating costs which again fluctuate But take you monthly power, gas water bill, phone and internet and multiply them by 5 and see what's left.
What I am trying to show by this is it is not the franchisee that has a license to print money but the corporations that win. One more thing, most franchisee's do not have control over pricing, they need to ask corporate office before any price increase can be implemented and then when they do raise prices the customers all complain, it's a lose/lose for them.
So when they raise the minimum wage by $3.00 tell me where is that money supposed to come from? Lay off staff, take away perks, raise prices (if corporate lets them) or the franchisee takes a pay cut, and it is hard to get less than zero.

Within the last couple of days, you might have heard about a really nasty security problem that's so important it has already been given a name and an unofficial logo (!):
The server running the ROOL web site was vulnerable to this issue but has been patched, with another patch due for a secondary, much less serious aspect of the bug for which a fix is not yet available.
The circumstances under which the bug can be exploited are complex and need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis for every web site. I've had a careful look through the software we use at RISC OS Open and, as far as I can tell without a very time consuming full depth analysis, our server software does not pass through requests from the web in such a way that it would have exposed the buggy, exploitable component. So, even during the day before our server got patched, it doesn't look like we could have been compromised.
There is evidence of attempts to scan our site for the vulnerability in our server logs. These attempts were not successful.
The most valuable thing we might have stored in our database would be your passwords. Attackers love to get hold of them, then try re-using them on other sites. We do not store your password and never have. We store an encrypted token, using a one-way encryption algorithm. We cannot take the token and run that encryption "backwards" to produce your password, even if we wanted to. All we can do is take the passwords presented to us in log-in forms (which we neither store nor log anywhere), apply the encryption to produce a token, then see if the token matches what we have in our database. As a result, even if our database was compromised and we didn't know it, password information would not be recoverable in a computationally feasible timescale. It's easier for attackers to just guess with random and/or common passwords, as with the recent iCloud celebrity photograph breach.
We're not exactly the most high profile or valuable site on the web :-) but we do get well over a million hits and average around 75GB of traffic per month, so we're certainly not the quietest. We try to always remain vigilant when it comes to security.

Shielding pump is a kind of no sealing pump, has been widely used in chemical industry, shielding pump manufacturing is not complex, in the application process of shielding pump in strict compliance with the operating procedures of the shielding pump, you can avoid various accidents caused by operation.
How to safely operate the shielding pump to pay attention to the rules:
We have to do, first of all, check the insulation resistance must be above 2mω.
Check whether the rotation direction of the motor is consistent with the direction of the arrow on the pump shell.
Check to see if the bearing monitor points to the specified area and the pointer points to the red indicator as an exception.
Check the fastening parts are solid, pressure gauges, cooling water is good, exit valve and pump exhaust valve is closed and leakage.
Check for cooling water. Full-open import valve, micro-opening bypass valve, to exclude the pump internal gas. At the same time the reverse circulation valve fully open, so that the pipeline filled with liquid. Start the shielding pump, open large bypass valve, fully discharge the pump body gas. After the exhaust, gradually shut off the bypass valve, check the export pressure gauge is on the prescribed pressure, and slowly open the exit valve, so that the discharge capacity to reach the work point flow. The reverse circulation tube valve is adjusted to keep the reverse circulation volume within the 8-15l/min range, while the liquid in the glass mirrors is fully flowing.
The operation process should pay attention to the coarse filter before and after the pressure difference, if the pressure difference increases too big, must carry on the inverted pump processing. The standby pump according to open pump program opened, and then slowly close the exit valve, while observing the operation of the standby pump, confirmed no abnormalities, close the exit valve. Press the Stop button, stop the shielding pump, close the exit valve, stop the cooling water.

Finals Care for the Community
We all know that finals weeks can be a tough time to get through, and we all know that we can sometimes to do simple things to take care of ourselves like manage our time, sleep, or most importantly eat when we are so caught up in our studying.
In the midst of the panic of the upcoming week of finals, one of the places that I made sure I visited was the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Of course, from my previous blogs, you would know that OMA is like a second home to me. However, the end of the semester and finals time is one of the best times to be there because you truly get a chance to see the community in action there.
I was just sitting studying, a little nervous for the Organic Chemistry Lab final that I was about to attend when I saw a handful of people walking into the lounge space with tons of snacks and supplies. I was shocked, I mean, I knew OMA was a place that you could always get free snacks, but it was as if we were about to feed everyone at UD with the amount that they had.
Apparently, I wasn't far from the truth.
The next thing I knew, Merida, the assistant director of Multicultural Affairs, was asking people if they wanted to be a part of the assembly like to put together the finals care packages. Before I knew I was in line with about 20 other people working around a huge table to put literally any snack that you could probably think of as well as other supplies like pens, note cards, post-its, into bags. My guess is that we probably assembled close to 250 or 300 bags, but that wasn't the best part.
The best part was how great I felt helping out and having that bonding time with the OMA community. It was a time that we got to laugh, talk about finals, work together and strategize as a team ("hey what's the easiest way to distribute 200 granola bars, 100 fruit snacks, 150 rice crispy treats, and 1000 notecards?"), and all together just let off some steam before the upcoming week. Not only did I just enjoy being present there, but the genuine feeling that I had of helping out so many people at once is something that I cannot get over. It's why I love volunteering places so much and just being a part of a good, heart-warming experience. There are so many people who, at the end of the semester, don't have any meal plan money left, they may feel a little depressed and alone, and they may find it hard to get through the week. But through OMA, even if it's a little snack, we told people that we see them, we care about them, and that we believe in their success. A simple gesture could go a long way for some people and it could help them to keep going and to work hard.
Once again, I'm thankful for the OMA community and what it does for me, and I am so glad to have had the experience to make other people's day.

Worthing College were crowned BCS Mixed Beach Tournament Winners on a glorious Sunny day, at West Wittering Beach.
The day started of cold and more like a day to stay indoors than run around on the Beach. However, the weather was not going to dampen the team especially as both the male and female rugby teams have had a very successful season to date.
Because of the growing interest and exciting at the College for the girls game, Worthing were able to enter two teams, which shows real strength in depth of rugby at the college.
The tournament consisted of two round robin pools, with the top two teams going through to the knock out stages. Worthing College A made easy work of their two round robin-groups qualifying to the knock-out stages running out comfortable winners against teams such as Angerming, Shoreham Academy and Itchen College. Worthing College B had a harder route to the Quarter Finals losing to eventual finalists Birmingham College twice in the group stage but still winning their other games to progress.
In the Knockout stages Worthing College B failed short at the Quarter Finals losing narrowly to Angerming School in a Extra-Extra time thriller where players had to drop of the pitch to create more space. However, Worthing College A brushed past Christ Hospital A and thumping Angerming 20-0 in the Semi Finals looking like they had not even reached top gear to set up a final against the B teams foe Birmingham College.
The final started tentatively for Worthing, however as soon as they got into there stride the flood gates opened winning 15-0, with Jade Widdows scoring a memorable try in the corner.
Mark Rugman Worthing College Women's Rugby Coach said "the result today for both teams shows the strength and depth the College has in both the male and female game" "In particular, the ladies involved in both teams were easily the best throughout the day, and shows the progression they have made throughout the season. With performances such as these, plus the exciting news that the College has gained RFUW AASE accreditation means there is exciting times ahead for the Women's rugby Academy".
