The ministry has sanctioned Rs3,283.58 lakhs to develop the surroundings of Hampi world heritage site, which has immense potential as a cultural destination, illumination of historical buildings, sound and light show, solid waste management and creation of public conveniences.
Kadapa, which has historical links with Hampi, also has several historical and cultural sites. The project sanctioned for development of heritage tourist circuit in Kadapa district at a cost of Rs3,962.89 lakhs includes creation of tourist facilities around important temples, dams, reservoirs and forts, the release added.
Realising that India has very good potential for development of river cruise tourism, the ministry has decided to develop the Ganga Heritage cruise circuit which will offer experience of river cruise and visits to historical settlements along the banks of Ganga in West Bengal.

What are they and what are the benefits of engaging with them for your brand?
Everyday consumers who have a significant social media following of anywhere between 1,000 to 100,000. Their audience size might be modest, their influence certainly is not!
Authenticity – just like with a friend, you wouldn’t recommend a place or product unless you loved it. The same goes with micro influencers. They have a niche audience, a tribe that is closely aligned with their passions, interests and will only share content that matches their style.
Personal – they are always interacting with their audience, from responding to comments right through to live Q&As. They constantly check in with their followers for feedback and so are seen as authentic and this will be reflected on the brand collaborations.
Loyal – when it comes it to promoting your brand, micro-influencers can become crucial in an ongoing campaign. Firstly, using micro-influencers is cost-effective; you can engage with a macro influencer who may charge a substantial amount for one post or engage with multiple micro influencers for the same amount who will post multiple times. Secondly, they may do work for contra, just because they like the brand.
One word comes to mind, celebrity; known in the entertainment industry and boast hundreds of thousands, even millions, of followers across multiple social media platforms. Think Nicole Warne, Elle Fergusson right through to Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner.
Wide reach – it allows brands to create brand awareness with a broad audience and maximise the visibility of your brand.
Time – choosing an influencer that fits in with the brands ethos takes time and research. When leveraging micro influencers brands must select several influencers to achieve the same total reach as a single macro influencer.
Experience – macro influencers have years of experience working with brands on small and large projects. This can sometimes be a downside as your brand is unlikely to have exclusivity.
Working with both micro or macro influencers has its benefits, ultimately, it’s knowing what’s right for the brand and what the goal is. Consider these questions; what are you trying to achieve? Who is your audience? What do you want your brand to represent?
The biggest difference from a brand perspective – cost. Micro influencers might be happy for contra whereas macro influencers will always need cash and lots of it. You get what you pay for!

Three days down and less than one to go. The voice is hoarse and the legs are tired but it’s been great to catch up with so many customers, prospects, partners and friends. There’s a real change in the depth of detail of our conversations compared to previous years and it’s reassuring to hear people talk so highly of Yospace for server-side ad insertion, especially in a field where there is increasing competition.
The rise of OTT has seen many broadcasters urgently need to monetise online, and the challenge of retaining an audience has meant that a number of broadcasters have moved to reduce advertising with longer term benefits in mind. This is exactly what our customer Medialaan did on its live streams. The innovative European broadcaster allowed viewers on its Stievie service were able to rewind a live stream then receive shorter ad breaks to allow them to catch up with the live programming sooner.
The result was more engaged viewers, longer viewing sessions, and ultimately more ad breaks viewed. Read about this more in our Medialaan case study.
The challenge of scaling live sports and their unpredictability demands any advertising system employed by a broadcaster to be both robust and versatile. Typically up to 90% of viewers tune into a football game within five minutes of kick-off, and it’s in situations like this that our pre-fetch system is crucial (read more about this in our Day One blog).
In addition to this, our SSAI enabled the broadcaster to monetise streams within an enhanced player and deliver on its ambitions to put the viewer front and centre of the action. Read more here.
Australian broadcaster Seven live streamed all 16 courts of the Australian Open. Thanks to Yospace’s ability to feed back live telemetry data, Seven was able to prioritise the advertising based on the state of play of each court at any one time.
Find out more about this project in our Seven case study.
It’s pleasing now that most people we meet already know the answer to this question and are keen to get into the details of the technology. We’re finding that discussions around consistency of viewer experience, measurement and data security are becoming more and more popular.
Harnessing the power of SSAI for VoD is our focus for day two at NAB. Over the past year, we’ve seen a considerable increase in operators and MVPDs implementing SSAI for VoD to deliver viewing experience consistency throughout their device platforms.
Why is there a move towards Server-Side Ad Insertion for VoD?
In this article for TV Technology, Yospace’s Founder & CTO David Springall discusses why SSAI technology, which has been a staple of live monetisation for a number of years, is also proving to be a popular way of monetising VoD due to factors such as viewer experience, ease of maintenance and data security.
Data security is an especially important topic. As operators and MVPDs increasingly rely on their first-party data to maximize ad revenues, having an effective middleware layer (SSAI) between the client and the ad server is crucial in protecting user data and preventing them from being re-targeted.
Swedish innovator TV4 is an example of a broadcaster that’s making the most of a joined up live and VoD monetization strategy. The broadcaster has recently agreed an extension with us to provide server-side ad insertion (SSAI) across its TV Everywhere service, TV4Play.
As a leader in the broadcast space that’s continued to reinvent itself, TV4 was one of the first broadcasters that recognised the value in using SSAI to monetize VoD. Read this blog post to learn more about the company’s digital journey with SSAI.
Have a great day 2 of NAB. Click here to book a meeting or pop by SU3414 – it will be good to see you.
Welcome to Las Vegas. Despite being home to a hundred resorts and 150,000 hotel rooms, it feels like I know everyone here during NAB week – whether it’s bumping into a customer in the cab queue or taking a table next to a tech partner – the broadcast engineering industry seems to take over the city during the event.
This year we’ll be using each day of the show to discuss a different element of server-side ad insertion (SSAI), so be sure to check here after each show day. We’ll be sharing relevant content on Twitter and LinkedIn too, so keep an eye on our profiles.
Our focus for the first day of NAB is scaling programmatic for major live events. In order to maximise ad revenues, programmatic systems need adequate time to respond in a major live event set up, and this need is especially apparent in a low latency environment.
To maximise the revenue opportunity, it’s necessary to make ad decisioning calls in an orderly fashion way ahead of the actual break taking place. Our prefetch system allows ad calls to be made early, allowing the time needed to return a full pod of ads for each viewer, and this is a crucial element of our offering that we’ve been sharing with visitors to our booth at the show.
You can read more in this blog post.
For a more in-depth explanation read our white paper.
Once you have prefetch in place you can plan for advanced programmatic; the next opportunity to explore is prebidding. Prebidding replicates the benefits of web header bidding for video. By calling all supply-side platforms simultaneously, we can inform the ad server of the responses to help it make an informed decision on which ads to place and ensure the highest available CPM can be secured.
Have a great opening day of NAB. Click here to book a meeting on our booth (SU3414).
Swedish broadcaster TV4 has long been a leader in the broadcast space, from going digital in the noughties and its early adoption of server-side ad insertion (SSAI) technology, to forming key partnerships with broadcasters and operators to grow its audience and boost ad revenue.
TV4’s innovative approach is paying off, too. In the press release that announced the renewal of its contract with Yospace, the company’s COO Mathias Berg revealed that the company achieved its highest ever revenue in 2018. He credited the ability to provide a platform-agnostic experience for advertisers across all video as a key factor, an experience that is enabled by SSAI.
TV4’s record earnings, at SEK 1,382 million (€112,537,903), were up 35.2% on 2017, making it one of the most successful broadcasters on the continent.
How did the broadcaster achieve these heights? And how did it use SSAI to carve out its route to a profitable future – for TV4, for advertisers, and for its audience?
TV4’s forward-thinking approach was apparent when it became the first broadcaster in Sweden to implement SSAI, notably adopting the technology for both live and on demand content to deliver a consistent TV quality viewing experience, with one to one addressability and ad measurement.
SSAI has allowed TV4 to unlock new revenue opportunities by allowing for consistent monetisation of all its content across all connected devices, and for viewer data to be harnessed to inform and deliver addressable advertising. This is a sector which shows no signs of slowing, with addressable TV ad spend forecast to exceed $3 billion by the close of this year.
TV4’s CEO Casten Almqvist recognised back in 2012 that in order to outstrip the competition in Sweden’s TV market, the network must “continue to reinvent” itself, investing in its digital service TV4Play, while continuing to focus on “breadth, diversity and quality” and producing “engaging TV for the whole country”.
This prompted TV4 to turn to SSAI soon after, which in turn paved the way for another innovative move last year. A first in Sweden, TV4 collaborated with Telia, Discovery Networks and Modern Times Group (MTG) in March 2018 to launch a targeted advertising initiative on Telia’s Play service. This delivers tailored advertising based on an individual’s location, the channel they’re watching, the kind of screen and the type of device they’re using to stream content.
Later the same year, TV4’s adoption of SSAI allowed it to secure distribution deals with other major distributors including Com Hem.
And with the broadcaster continuing to innovate, then long may this continue.
The 2019 NAB Show is fast approaching and we at Yospace are looking forward to exhibiting at the event for a seventh time. Here’s a quick overview of what we’ll be talking about and our activity in and around the show.
We have a booth in the South Upper hall, number SU3414. If you don’t have a meeting yet then click the link to request a time. It will be good to see you.
The focus of our show will be on two main topics: best practice for implementing server-side ad insertion (SSAI), and realising the ad revenue opportunities once SSAI is in place.
There will be four demo pods on the booth, two of which will be dedicated to best practice in implementing SSAI for live and VoD.
The other two will showcase some of the possibilities of what you can achieve once you have the right SSAI foundation in place.
These will consist of a shared demo with programmatic specialist SpotX that looks at the concept of prebidding to achieve maximum ad value, and another, with Capella Systems, that will focus on how to scale up and monetise multiple channels during major live events.
I’ll be sharing insights on all of these topics throughout the show on our LinkedIn and Twitter feeds. And you can check back here for a daily update post at the end of each day.

this year we’ll be using each day of the show to discuss a different element of server-side ad insertion (ssai), so be sure to check here after each show day. we’ll be sharing relevant content on twitter and linkedin too, so keep an eye on our profiles.
our focus for the first day of nab is scaling programmatic for major live events. in order to maximise ad revenues, programmatic systems need adequate time to respond in a major live event set up, and this need is especially apparent in a low latency environment.
to maximise the revenue opportunity, it’s necessary to make ad decisioning calls in an orderly fashion way ahead of the actual break taking place. our prefetch system allows ad calls to be made early, allowing the time needed to return a full pod of ads for each viewer, and this is a crucial element of our offering that we’ve been sharing with visitors to our booth at the show.
you can read more in this blog post.
for a more in-depth explanation read our white paper.
once you have prefetch in place you can plan for advanced programmatic; the next opportunity to explore is prebidding. prebidding replicates the benefits of web header bidding for video. by calling all supply-side platforms simultaneously, we can inform the ad server of the responses to help it make an informed decision on which ads to place and ensure the highest available cpm can be secured.
have a great opening day of nab. click here to book a meeting on our booth (su3414).
swedish broadcaster tv4 has long been a leader in the broadcast space, from going digital in the noughties and its early adoption of server-side ad insertion (ssai) technology, to forming key partnerships with broadcasters and operators to grow its audience and boost ad revenue.
tv4’s innovative approach is paying off, too. in the press release that announced the renewal of its contract with yospace, the company’s coo mathias berg revealed that the company achieved its highest ever revenue in 2018. he credited the ability to provide a platform-agnostic experience for advertisers across all video as a key factor, an experience that is enabled by ssai.
tv4’s record earnings, at sek 1,382 million (€112,537,903), were up 35.2% on 2017, making it one of the most successful broadcasters on the continent.
how did the broadcaster achieve these heights? and how did it use ssai to carve out its route to a profitable future – for tv4, for advertisers, and for its audience?
tv4’s forward-thinking approach was apparent when it became the first broadcaster in sweden to implement ssai, notably adopting the technology for both live and on demand content to deliver a consistent tv quality viewing experience, with one to one addressability and ad measurement.
ssai has allowed tv4 to unlock new revenue opportunities by allowing for consistent monetisation of all its content across all connected devices, and for viewer data to be harnessed to inform and deliver addressable advertising. this is a sector which shows no signs of slowing, with addressable tv ad spend forecast to exceed $3 billion by the close of this year.
tv4’s ceo casten almqvist recognised back in 2012 that in order to outstrip the competition in sweden’s tv market, the network must “continue to reinvent” itself, investing in its digital service tv4play, while continuing to focus on “breadth, diversity and quality” and producing “engaging tv for the whole country”.
this prompted tv4 to turn to ssai soon after, which in turn paved the way for another innovative move last year. a first in sweden, tv4 collaborated with telia, discovery networks and modern times group (mtg) in march 2018 to launch a targeted advertising initiative on telia’s play service. this delivers tailored advertising based on an individual’s location, the channel they’re watching, the kind of screen and the type of device they’re using to stream content.
later the same year, tv4’s adoption of ssai allowed it to secure distribution deals with other major distributors including com hem.
and with the broadcaster continuing to innovate, then long may this continue.
the 2019 nab show is fast approaching and we at yospace are looking forward to exhibiting at the event for a seventh time. here’s a quick overview of what we’ll be talking about and our activity in and around the show.
we have a booth in the south upper hall, number su3414. if you don’t have a meeting yet then click the link to request a time. it will be good to see you.
the focus of our show will be on two main topics: best practice for implementing server-side ad insertion (ssai), and realising the ad revenue opportunities once ssai is in place.
there will be four demo pods on the booth, two of which will be dedicated to best practice in implementing ssai for live and vod.
the other two will showcase some of the possibilities of what you can achieve once you have the right ssai foundation in place.
these will consist of a shared demo with programmatic specialist spotx that looks at the concept of prebidding to achieve maximum ad value, and another, with capella systems, that will focus on how to scale up and monetise multiple channels during major live events.
i’ll be sharing insights on all of these topics throughout the show on our linkedin and twitter feeds. and you can check back here for a daily update post at the end of each day.

9Th Annual Harvey Milk Fest Tomorrow!
“Soul Men” closes out the Westcoast Black Theatre Troupe’s “change is gonna come” season with all the style and pizzazz we have come to expect from productions at the little theater that could. Indeed change has come to WBTT, which has just opened its beautiful new education and outreach space and has plans underway to add additional seating and restrooms to the theater space. This has been a tremendous season, and I look forward to what is in store for the fall.
“Ragtime,” reimagined on the Asolo Repertory stage, is a triumph of musical theater and truly defines the American Character, which was the theater’s theme for five years ending last season.

Daniel Koy is an illustrator, sculptor, and scuba diver from New York City. Currently mostly working in metal and wood, he makes a range of work from traditional sculpture, to furniture. His sculptural work explores his interest in nature, environmentalism and the experiences had while scuba diving, while furniture and design work focuses on comfort, craft, and composition.
What interested you in being part of the Guidelines project?
Last, but not least, Daniel Koy is the final Artist joining in on the Guidelines project! When he responded to my call for artists, I was so happy to have someone on board who isn't traditionally a jeweler, but with his background in blacksmithing and welding fabrication, I knew he would bring an interesting twist to each guideline. I was first introduced to Daniel while I was visiting our mutual friend Emma Levitz at Salem Art Works where they were both Intern Artists in residence. The following year I was an Emerging Artist in resident at SAW, and we have kept in touch over the past couple of years as part of the SAW family. Can't wait to see what you create Daniel!

The Bailiwick of Guernsey consists of the Islands of Guernsey, Herm, Sark and Alderney, plus the smaller islands of Lihou, Jethou and Burhou.
The Channel Islands came under the British crown when William, Duke of Normandy invaded England in 1066. To this day, the Queen’s official title in the Bailiwick of Guernsey is that of the Duke of Normandy. The link between Britain and France still survives today in Norman Law, surnames and Guernesaise, the local language. Nowadays Guernsey, its capital St Peter Port and the smaller islands are a favourite tourist destination.
During 1940 – 1945, the islands were the only British soil occupied by German troops and huge numbers of defensive positions were built as part of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall. Of the population of 40,000, 17,000 were evacuated to England.
The materials and effort spent on the Atlantic Wall was totally disproportionate to the strategic importance of the islands but Hitler was convinced that the British would try to recapture them. However the British Government had already decided in 1940 that the islands could not be defended without huge loss of life. By 1943 over five thousand foreign slave workers were working on Guernsey, many of whom lost their lives from exhaustion and starvation. They were guarded by a garrison of 13,000 German troops.
After the D-Day Normandy landings in 1944, the islands became cut off from the rest of Europe and food and fuel supplies dried up. Life became steadily worse with both the occupying forces and islanders suffering from starvation.
The cold winter of 1944 made life almost unbearable. However by the end of December, a life saving Red Cross ship, the SS Vega, docked at St Peter Port with much needed supplies and was to make several more trips up to May 1945. Finally on 9th May 1945 the German Commander surrendered and the first British Troops landed in St Peter Port from HMS Bulldog.
Many reminders of the German occupation remain. Fortress Guernsey is a conservation programme started in 1993 and has been responsible for the restoration of several German watch towers and bunkers which are now open to the public. The story of the Nazi occupation is told at the Occupation Museum located near the airport.
Every year islanders celebrate their freedom on Liberation Day, 9th May, a public Bank Holiday.
Liberation Day is also a Bank Holiday in the other Channel Islands: Jersey on 9th May and Sark on 10th May. Alderney celebrates Homecoming Day on December 15th.

Filing income tax returns may be frustrating but it’s important to get them right. Although completion is annual, people still find the process confusing and most just want to get it over and done with. As a result, every year we see people miss out on tax relief because of simple mistakes. We want to help you save time and money by sharing the most common errors, and how they affect your taxes.
A mistake which is all too common is missing the tax return deadline, this can result in interest and penalties which can bring about unnecessary additional cost. This is why we recommend you don’t leave filing your tax return to the very last minute. Also, failing to file your income tax return in the first place, is definitely one of the largest mistakes for anyone to make. Even if your business is not making profits in the first couple of years, you still must file a return. It is worth noting that losses can be used to offset profits in future years.
Those required to file income tax returns include contractors, landlords, taxi drivers, tutors, consultants, small business owners and proprietary directors, to name a few. Many people don’t realise they must register for self-assessment before they can ever file a tax return.
What most people don’t realise is that not only does your self-employed business income need to be submitted into your income tax return but you also need to include any other income you have earned in the year. Such examples of other income which needs to be declared includes PAYE income, payments from the Department of Social Protection, dividends/deposit interest received and foreign income.
Even exempt income must be declared in a tax return! Depending on whether you are married or in a civil partnership or not, the income of your spouse must also be included if you are jointly assessed.
Not taking advantage of all the tax credits available.
Hundreds of thousands of tax returns are filed with the Revenue Commissioners each year. Tax credits are not automatically applied, so you must apply for these yourself. We believe it’s better to be safe than sorry and recommend you seek professional advice to make sure you avail of all the tax credits applicable to you. Tax credits can save you a lot of money.
Most people settle for receiving one or two rather than claiming all the credits they are entitled too. Examples of credits you may be eligible for but aren’t well known, include the rental tax credit, (though you must have been renting continuously since 2010), the age credit for over 65s, the widow tax credit with dependent children, one parent family, home carer’s credit etc. Medical expenses can also be included. For more information see revenue.ie.
Even the self-employed can have tax deductible work expenses. For example, if you use your personal car for essential business purposes, you can allow for the business expense. If working from home, you can also claim reasonable amounts for expenses such as heating, light and phone. Professional advice should be sought here as there may be other tax implications further down the road if you sell your home.
Other expenses you can claim tax back on includes fixed assets, e.g. computers and office furniture. Tax back is applied for these over eight years. Don’t forget, you must keep all receipts in a safe place in case Revenue calls on you for an audit.
If you are unsure of what you are entitled to, it is worth seeking a professional to file your tax return and don’t forget that the fee you pay for this service is also tax deductible! Filing income tax returns is like getting your hair cut, it can be attempted by yourself but the end result generally confirms that you should have went to a professional!
We hope this helps you understand the process of filing income tax returns a little better! If you’d like to relieve the stress completely why not hand the task over to our expert team at Tax Return Plus. We take care of all the nasty bits, leaving you to simply enjoy the returns.

recently flipped through my sketchbook and discovered 3 sketches i liked and decided to make an expandable sticker collection.
to have a bit more texture i used the original sketch as an overlay for the outlines.

An earlier post on the Civil War in Connaught has proven to be the most read post on this blog, and even elicited a response from a relative of Francis (Frank) Cunnane – obviously there’s a huge appetite out there to learn more about this period of our history.
One reader, Brian McHugh, sent us a copy of the photo reproduced below of his uncle Pat, who served in the Free State Army.
Although he has little information regarding Pat, regarding the provenance of the photo, or even where Pat was posted during the Civil War, we’re hoping someone out there might be able to provide some further information.
Brian’s father was also active in the Civil War and was posted to Dublin and then to Cork in 1922 where he took part in the seaborne invasion – Cork was taken by Free State troops in August 1922 which included both overland and seaborne attacks (Brian tells us that his father remembered the crack of the bullets hitting the side and the deck of the boat). Brian’s father was eighteen at the time while his Uncle Pat was younger, leading Brian to think Pat may have served later – possible in 1923.
There are two or three things which are worthy of note in the photo: the boot to the left of the picture and the apparent activity in the forest in the background, perhaps another soldier (and what is the white, odd shaped object?). You will notice that part of the photo is torn off although this might not be that sinister. The reverse side of the photo is a postcard (unused) and perhaps it was simply torn to “fit in”.
There are so many Civil War and War of Independence stories out there – and we’re happy to post our readers artefacts, photos or queries – if some family questions, or stories can receive a wider audience through this forum, it would be great. Perhaps some of our readers can help Brian find out more about the provenance of the photo and fill in some of the gaps for him, please email us or feel free to leave a comment here and we can put you in touch with Brian.
Given the amount of interest, the stories and personal accounts that are still out there, perhaps it’s time that something like the Great War Forum should be created. If anyone has any ideas – again email or comment here.

not sure if this helps but I think many photos from the time had a postcard backing I’ve a similar photo of english soldier from ww1 with postcard back. I think you got them printed as such to send home before going to the front.
What? You mean the photgraph above ISN’T an English soldier? Gosh. He looks just like one to me.
There’s an archway in the upper left corner and a figure coming towards the entrance. That archway is probably recognizable to a resident of the area. The young soldier has boots on so might ride a horse if necessary. It could be in Cork or Kilkenny, if such arches exist in those places. I believe they do.
Just had a closer look Nadine – and I think you’re probably right – However I think it might be a bit optimistic to hope that someone will recognise it. Not sure about the boots – were they standard issue or are they riding boots – maybe someone can answer that!
I also had a thorough look into the most of details of the posted photo related to the Civil War and would suggest that the archway in the upper left corner could possibly exist at that place. And also the soldier could be pictured in the yard close to the entrance to the church / cathedral (juding from the appearance of archway in the background). The photo could probably be taken in the village.
I would also like to add some more details as for the picture of Brian McHugh’s uncle Pat during the time of Civil War.
I suggest (which could also be true) that the archway in the background obviously has cusps: that is the projecting points formed where foils meet in Gothic tracery. Thus the Gothic style elements of the archway reproduce the form of a flower in the circle, which is also called a Quatrefoil. This quatrefoil is used in arches and windows too.
In this regard, I suppose the church or a cathedral which is viewed by us has a Gothicized exterior. It is one of the first suggestions of mine.
Hope it reveals an original provenance of the photo.
I don’t think its a church, more like a farm, probably your Uncle Pat’s parents farm? Looks like a typical farmyard anyway, and the man in the background has the typical farmer’s pose of “whats going on?” that I’ve seen my in-laws do a hundred times on their farm when someone drives down the lane to the house. Universal body language!
As for the young guy in the picture, the uniform is brand new, ill-fitting and all the leather is new and unbroken in, especially the boots. My guess is that Uncle Pat is home showing off his new uniform fresh out of bootcamp, like anyone in any country, on his first leave. The man in the background only sees a figure at a distance, his back turned to him, so he is cautiously trying to figure out (1) who is the soldier/cop and (2) is this trouble/why is _________ taking his picture? I’d wait too after 8 years of the Easter rebellion and aftermath, then the Flying Columns vs. the Black & Tans, then the Civil War….smart move!
It could also be a church village (judging by the medium size house and its little windows in the picture).
Perhaps such villages existed closer to either Greenore, Co Louth. or Donegal, Irelandin, County Meath in Ireland.
I regard that the location, where the picture was taken, is related to a village / farm in the Dublin area.
Those are my basic suppositions at the moment.
It is a portrait of the soldier General Michael Collins, taken in Ireland between 1840-1930.
Thanks Tanya & Tim – i have to say I’m with Tim on this one. The arch feature is barely discernible and may just be a tree! I could be completely wrong. the building appears to me to be a typical farm building with the drain along the wall.
Tanya – the link you provided above doesn’t appear to work… if you can you might try again.
I think that finding the provenance of the photo may prove impossible…..
Sorry, I cannot send the link right, as it is very long to be posted in the dialog box.
Please, copy it in parts (first line + second line) in order to download.

The trip to Andaman is once in a lifetime experience; the place is full of natural beauty and gorgeous marine life. If you are planning a trip to Andaman and are not sure about how to reach Andaman from Mumbai, this blog is for you.
By Ship: Only option to reach Andaman if you are not traveling by Air is through the sea. You can reach here from Chennai, Kolkata, and Vizag by ships operated by the Government of India. You first need to come to any of these places from Mumbai and then take a ship that takes between three to four days to reach Andaman. The distance from Chennai to Port Blair is 1362 km, for Kolkata to Port Blair is 11297 km and from Vizag to Port Blair is 1216 km.
By Train: If you are willing to travel by train, let us tell you there is no road connectivity to Andaman so you can take a train up to Chennai and from there reach Port Blair through the ship or by air.
By Air: It is the best mode of travel from Mumbai to Port Blair as many direct flights run between these two locations. The time taken to commute by air is less compared to ship and hence it is the most convenient mode of travel.
The Ship and Flights timings are for reference only; the actual time may vary during your travel.

We're back... Last time we left you with a look at turnarounds of Bumble and Tweet, Julie West’s first vinyl figures due in the Fall from STRANGEco. Today we’re bringing you the very first public shots of the vinyl color tests of both figures. As you can see in both colorways (pinks and gray/green), the finely detailed deco has translated well. The bees and birds are mostly absent in these shots as they do not yet have magnets installed for proper positioning. Very impressive especially considering these are not final and need a few minor tweaks.
Rather than having you deal with us rambling on, we’ve asked Julie and Emily Brough of STRANGEco for their impressions of these first color tests. First up, Julie talks us through her initial reaction.
Seeing the color samples really brought the whole project together for me. I know that they aren't perfect (though they look pretty darn close to me!) and that we are missing the birds and bees at this point but everything looks pretty spot on.
I think that this stage in the process has really made them seem "real" to me, more so that seeing the other steps - perhaps only because they are closer to looking complete.
We close with Emily Brough’s comments on her view from managing the production. She touches on the mix of rotocast vinyl and injection molded pieces used for these figures – a necessary step to achieving certain detailed looks. Additionally, minor alignment issues of "pads" seem to be the norm in product revisions.
We were pretty blown away by the accuracy of these first color samples. We had previously discussed removing some of the smaller elements (specifically the dots around the face) but they ended up pulling it off so well! The only real comments we had was adjusting the fit of the paint mask on the face (some fall a little short), but other than that... these are almost exactly spot on.
We've actually had the roto parts all colored and completed for 3 weeks so getting the Injection molded elements in (ed: face, birds, bees, branches, and hair sticks ) and putting the whole thing together was such a treat! For me personally, this is one of my most favorite pieces we've made recently. I think it's just beautiful and reflects Julie's work so nicely.... we're so excited to show them on Friday night @ Julie's show at Myplasticheart!
If you’re in NYC or near by, drop by the opening of Julie’s Sickly Sweet solo this Friday (8.8.08) @ myplasticheartnyc for her original art and a first-hand look at the Bumble and Tweet color protos. Stay tuned to Vinyl Pulse for a look at the Bumble and Tweet packaging in a few weeks.

We know how important bees are and the benefits we receive from pollination and all of the things bees produce; honey, wax, propolis, and royal jelly are just a few of the products that people have benefited from for thousands of years while beekeeping.
A Cornell University study estimated that managed honey bees in the U.S. contribute to over $14 billion in value by increased yields and superior quality for crop growers and consumers. Without honey bees yields would dramatically decrease on crops that depend on pollination service provided by beekeepers.
Because we know how important honey bees are we prefer to remove swarms alive when it is safe. Swarms that are easily contained, away from people and pets can be removed alive. If we are able to safely remove the bees they will be taken to an apiary where they will be introduced to a Langstroth. A Langstroth is the wooden box that contains the frames that the bees will draw their wax on. Before the bees are put into the Langstroth we will remove a frame of brood (young developing bees) and bees from an established colony in the apiary. We shake all of the bees off of the frame leaving them with their colony and put the frame of brood into the empty Langstroth that will house the new colony. By giving the new colony young developing bees to take care of we increase the chances of the swarm staying in the new home that we have provided. We will then put 2-3 frames of honey and additional empty frames into the Langstroth with the bees. When the bees start to settle between the frames the lid will be put on top. All colonies that are removed alive will be used to produce honey or for pollination purposes.
Due to safety concerns we are not able to remove all colonies alive because they are not easily contained or they are too close to people, pets and livestock. In situations that are unsafe the best option is extermination. The safety of our customers and their pets is our first priority.
