WISHART BACKS CAMPAIGN TO OPPOSE VISA COSTS - CALLS FOR PERTHSHIRE PEOPLE POWER TO COME TO AID OF CHERNOBYL KIDS
Speaking at a news conference in Perth this morning (Thursday), the Scottish National Party's Mr Pete Wishart MP, Member of Parliament for Perth & North Perthshire, spoke of the decision by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office to remove the free visa concession which has been in place up until now for children travelling to the UK for rest and recuperation from areas in the Ukraine and Belarus still suffering the effects of the nuclear accident at Chernobyl.
"I doubt that there are many people in Perthshire who are unaware of the great work done by the Perth Link of the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline each year, bringing kids from those parts of Ukraine and Belarus still suffering the effects of the nuclear accident at Chernoby for a break in the clean air of Perthshire, staying with local families.
"The smiling faces of the children who come here is a testament to the success of the scheme.
"Folk in Perthshire work hard all year round raising funds to make this possible but unfortunately it is now being undermined by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office's determination to remove a concession which meant that they did not have to pay for the visas for those coming over.
"We know that times are hard economically but I think there are plenty other places that they could trim their budgets without affecting good work like this and while £1020 a year is a lot of money to the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline – it could pay for an extra 2 needy children to get a healthy holiday – it is but a drop in the ocean for the FCO.
"For some time now, I and other Members of Parliament representing constituencies who are home to Link groups have been trying to persuade the FCO to change their mind but they are not for budging.
"We need a bit of people power and I am calling on the people of Perthshire to help stand up for the kids of Chernobyl that they have helped so often in the past.
"There is an online petition which people can sign and the more signatures we can gather, the better. The FCO want to quietly pass this cost on to fundraisers and volunteers. Well, we want the people of Perthshire to make a noise and say loud and clear that it unacceptable."
Mr Wishart was joined by Mr David Dawson, Chair of the Perth Link of the Chernobyl Children's Lifeline. Mr Dawson continued:
"Every year we bring 12 children with their Leader to Perthshire for a much needed break in a clean environment.
"These children live – right now - in an environment contaminated by residual caesium 137, iodine 131 and strontium 90 at levels that would simply not be allowed in the West and which can have a permanent effect on their health.
"They come to us for a month-long boost to their immune systems in the hope that they will be able to live a normal adult life.
"The cost of bringing a group over is approximately £6500 and if the FCO insist that we have to pay £85 per visa it will add more than £1000 to the cost.
"All our money is raised from the generosity of people in Perthshire and it just seems grossly unfair to add 15% to costs and increase the burden on those who do the fundraising.
"To look at it another way, there are 11 active links across Scotland which means a total extra cost of in excess of £12,000 which is nearly enough to fund 2 more groups of children!
"Many folk in Perthshire help us every year by raising money and volunteering as host families, and now we really need everybody to help us show the FCO that this is unacceptable by signing the petition."
Mr Wishart concluded:
"As we are still in 'Burns' season' a word from the Bard might be appropriate:
That Man to Man, the world o'er
Shall brothers be for a' that.
"Let's persuade the FCO of the need to demonstrate a bit of that spirit of international brotherhood.
"Now's the day and now's the hour, sign the petition and show them people power."

Harleen #1 Review: Black Label Provides an Ideal Format for Character and Creator in a Harley Quinn Origin
By Chase Magnett - September 25, 2019 10:00 am EDT
(Photo: DC Entertainment)
Harleen #1 has provided me with a new perspective on both its titular hero and the new Black Label series' creator Stjepan Šejić. Both are likely familiar to readers of superhero comics: Harley Quinn has become one of the most recognizable figures in DC Comics' canon, including multiple film adaptations, in the past decade and Šejić has collected a dedicated fan following for both his official projects and titillating takes on the side. Neither have been essential to my reading habits for a variety of reasons, but the over-sized debut issue of this three-part origin story provides them with an ideal setting to entice new readers. After finishing Harleen #1, I know that I will at least be reading the rest of this series.
Harleen Quinzel is typically defined by outside actors. Her origin is framed as a Joker story, one in which Batman's archnemesis corrupts a young psychiatrist and transforms her into a new member of the Gotham City rogues gallery. Harleen shifts that narrative in a significant fashion, one that emphasizes Harleen's own agency. Joker, Batman, and plenty of other familiar characters are present in this story, but it's Dr. Quinzel who drives the action. Joker appears early in the story, but his appearance provides an inciting event which Harleen may respond to rather than a character that chooses on Harleen's behalf. Their fateful meeting is heavily foreshadowed, but the vast majority of this hefty read is dedicated to exploring Harleen's motives and direction as a caring physician with ambitions and desires that are entirely her own.
Šejić maintains a clear focus on Harleen, even when Batman and Joker are engaged in spectacular splash-filled combat, through the use of an ongoing, interior monologue. While these captions sometimes near the precipice of telling more than showing, they never approach the burdensome, text-laden pages that are the downfall of many current DC comics. There's an awareness of which moments shouldn't be shackled with extended word counts and dialogue is often packed into dense, yet well-defined, individual pages. Harleen works through her own strengths and flaws with the earnestness of a patient on a reclining couch, readily telling stories and always speaking with the slightest glean of uncertainty. Only a few moments fall flat, the worst offender being the origin of the name "Harley," a joke so distasteful and mean that it distracts from an otherwise generally engrossing read.
In spite of a few hiccups like that and other slightly too obvious moments, Šejić's writing chops exceed many of his contemporaries. There's a comfortable push-pull rhythm between the density of writing and showcasing of spectacle. Whenever popular figures, nightmares, or a little bit of action does surface, both the larger page and Šejić's own confidence make these moments shine. Each moment of indulgence is well chosen, including a heavily-detailed Bat-vehicle and spreads capturing mythic impressions of popular characters with hazy backgrounds. They are exciting beats that balance the thoroughness of many other pages.
Figures capture a clear aesthetic, whether that's the handsomeness found in Harleen and Joker or fearsomeness of so many Arkham inmates. That an attractive profile is never used to romanticize the looming cycle of abuse between Harleen and Joker provides a lot of optimism about the direction of this particular story, too.
Harleen #1 presents Stjepan Šejić at his absolute best, constructing a sleek and sexy world that rarely falters in its storytelling, and one that strikes a far better balance between the distinct crafts of writing and art than most collaborative superhero comics. This confidence and the extra space in which it develops an atypical approach is also what allows for Harleen Quinzel to tell her own story. Acknowledging the Joker without ever forgetting about Harleen's own power is a difficult task and exactly the accomplishment which makes Harleen #1 stand out. It makes a promise that this series is and will remain her story, rather than falling into service for even more popular characters from the past. If that promise is fulfilled, then Harleen could provide a new standard for Harley Quinn as she continues to grow beyond the comics page.

Christine Lagarde's Forthcoming Baptism by Fire
Posted to Finance July 12, 2019 by Desmond Lachman
The timing of Christine Lagarde's scheduled replacement of Mario Draghi as head of the European Central Bank (ECB) has to remind one of a prescient cover that The Economist magazine ran in 2006 when Ben Bernanke took over from Alan Greenspan as Federal Reserve Chairman.
That cover showed Messrs. Greenspan and Bernanke in a relay race with the baton being passed by Greenspan to Bernanke being a stick of dynamite. A few months later, the great U.S. housing bust began.
In the case of Madame Lagarde, the dynamite stick that she might be receiving from Draghi could be in the form of the United Kingdom crashing out of Europe. By an unfortunate coincidence of timing, Madame Lagarde is scheduled to begin her new job as head of the ECB on November 1. That is exactly one day after the U.K.'s extended October 31 deadline to reach a Brexit agreement with its European partners.
Heightening the chances that the U.K. could crash out of Europe on October 31 is the fact that Boris Johnson is almost certain to replace Theresa May as prime minister.
In his campaign to replace May, Johnson has repeatedly committed himself to have the United Kingdom leave Europe with or without a deal on October 31. Making this commitment all the more credible is Nigel Farage's threat to tear the ruling Conservative Party apart limb by limb if the U.K. does not leave Europe by that date. Making a hard Brexit all the more likely is Europe's strong resistance to re-opening the Withdrawal Agreement that it took two years to negotiate with May.
The economic damage to the U.K. economy from a hard Brexit is not to be underestimated. According to the Bank of England, the IMF, and the OECD, such a worst-case scenario would almost certainly precipitate a deep U.K. economic recession with GDP likely to decline by more than 5 percent in the year following its European exit.
It would do so as the U.K. would lose its current favored access to the Single European Economic Market, which currently buys as much as half of all the U.K.'s exports. It would also seriously disrupt international supply chains as investors would choose to relocate their operations out of the U.K. and toward the continent.
A hard Brexit would also deliver an unwelcome shock to an already stuttering European economy. This is not simply because the UK remains a major European trade partner and accounts for as much as 40 percent of Ireland's total exports. It is also because the sharp fall in sterling that would almost certainly follow a hard Brexit would meaningfully improve the U.K.'s international competitive position relative to that of Europe.
A hard-Brexit related shock is the last thing that the European economy now needs at a time that President Trump is threatening to impose a 25 import tariff on European automobiles and at a time that investor confidence in the European economy is already low. A clear indication of a lack of European confidence is the fact that around half of all European government bonds are now offering negative interest rates.
Among the European economies, heavily indebted Italy with its weak banking system is particularly vulnerable to a Brexit related shock. Verging on recession, Italy is already having difficulty in containing its budget deficit and in strengthening its banking system. In her early days in the job, the last thing that Madame Lagarde would need is another round of the Eurozone debt crisis centered on its third-largest member country.
It is hoped the United Kingdom will somehow avoid a hard Brexit, Italy's populist government will get its act together, and Trump will refrain from imposing his threatened import tariff on European automobiles.
However, Madame Lagarde would be ill-advised to count on such good fortune. Rather, along with the rest of us she should be hoping for the best but planning for the worst in the few weeks before she takes on her new responsibilities. Or as she is so fond of saying, she should start fixing the roof while the sun is still shining.

Sex differences in multi-tasking : Stroop effects on movement symmetry
Cochrane, AG 2017 , 'Sex differences in multi-tasking : Stroop effects on movement symmetry', Honours thesis, University of Tasmania.
Cochrane_whole_...pdf | Download (448kB)
There is a strong stereotype throughout the world that females are better at multi-tasking than males, despite mixed research evidence. A recent study involved simultaneous performance of a Stroop task with walking and found that young females suffered less consequence to movement than males and older females (Killeen et al., 2017). In the present study, 41 young adults (21 females) aged 18-40 participated in the study, performed a novel bimanual coordination task in an antiphase movement pattern, while simultaneously performing a Stroop task. In contrast to Killeen and colleagues (2017) results, there were no differences between males and females in asymmetry as Stroop difficulty increased. One surprising difference was found in the frequency measure, whereby males and females increased frequency as Stroop difficulty increased, but females did not increase as much as males. This may be evidence of females being better at multi-tasking than males. Therefore, in line with the majority of multi-tasking research, the present study found limited evidence of sex differences in multi-tasking, and sex differences that were found had a small effect size.

Is "The Happiest Place on Earth" rightly so-called? One prominent politician thinks not.
Bernie Sanders, would-be presidential candidate and self-described critic of the "rigged economy," likened Disney's employment practices to those of Wal-Mart, the iconic discounter that has come in for widespread criticism for compensating its workers with such meager salary and benefits that many are forced to resort to food stamps and other government relief.
Let me just start off and be very blunt. We're here in Anaheim. Everybody knows the major economic force here in Anaheim is the Disney corporation. Anybody here work for Disney? Anybody here making a living wage from Disney?
All is not well, apparently, behind Goofy's grin and Mickey's merrymaking.
To Bernie Sanders: We created 11,000 new jobs at Disneyland in the past decade, and our company has created 18,000 in the US in the last five years. How many jobs have you created? What have you contributed to the US economy?
While job creation is of course a good thing, it misses Sanders' essential point: Some Disney workers aren't being paid a living wage.
In its simplest form, there are three interrelated variables in play here: the compensation of Disney workers, Disney's profits, and the price of tickets to Disney parks. If employees are to be better compensated, Disney must be willing to accept lower profits or park visitors must be willing to pay more for tickets.
Something has to give. With admission prices already hovering around $100, it may be time for Disney to lower its profit expectations a bit. That's a small price to pay to keep "The Happiest Place on Earth" from degenerating from a heartfelt promise into an ironic tagline.
Do Disney's employment practices affect your interest in visiting the company's parks?

Shweta Tiwari: My responsibility towards fans is to not bore them
Wednesday - January 15, 2020 7:04 pm , Category : ENTERTAINMENT
New Delhi, Jan 15 (IANS) Actress Shweta Tiwari is aware that many TV viewers still love her as Prerna -- the character she played in the popular daily soap "Kasautii Zindagii Kay". She says her responsibility towards her fans is to provide them with different content every time.
Back in 2001 when she bagged the lead role of Prerna in the Ekta Kapoor show, she became a household name. She went on to do more TV shows -- some fiction and some non-fiction including "Bigg Boss".
"I feel if they (viewers) love your character, then they are not your fans. They are fans of the character. Everybody calls me Prerna till now because they love Prerna, but fans of Shweta loved me as Sweety (in 'Parvarrish'), Guneet Sikka ('Mere Dad Ki Dulhan') and 'Bigg Boss'," Shweta told IANS.
"As an actor, my responsibility is to give my audience a platter of different things. Just because they love me as Prerna does not mean I will stay Prerna forever. No, they (fans) will get bored," she added.
She agrees that one section of the audience would be very happy if she doesn't experiment.
"Because they liked me as Prerna, they want me to stay as Prerna. But there is another section too that wants to watch me doing different things. They want to see Shweta Tiwari playing different characters. That's why I never repeat what I do," said the former contestant of dance-based show "Nach Baliye".
"My responsibility towards my fans, audiences is to give them different types of entertainment, performances and stories so yes, I feel responsible not to bore them," she added.
She is currently seen as a 40-year-old single woman, Guneet Sikka, in the show "Mere Dad Ki Dulhan". As the title suggests, it is no ordinary love story.
"Generally the storytelling of a romantic show is like a guy is looking at a girl, wind is blowing, song is playing...this is probably the only way they know how to portray a love story. In our show, they show a different angle of a love story. Everyone cannot have the same love story, especially if you are a 40-year-old," she said.
Sadly, it seems like the focus of most of the Hindi TV shows is on the younger lot. As a result of which, actors in 40s or more are reduced to just being the lead character's uncle or aunt.
"We are way older to play uncles and aunties. Actors aged 16 or 14 play lead roles and anybody who is 25 plus, becomes a mother or aunty or father," she said and is glad that "Mere Dad Ki Dulhan" is able to bring a change in storytelling on Hindi television.

Billion Impressions
PLAY, a new low-cost Icelandic airline operating flights between Iceland and Europe reached out to BIGfish PR to manage its U.S. launch planned for December 16, 2021. An organization with a history of launching innovative companies and working with Icelandic tourism, BIGfish was well positioned to take on the challenge of launching the airline in the U.S. amid today's turbulent travel market.
BIGfish's initial goal was to launch PLAY in the U.S. with ticket sales for Boston and Baltimore/Washington D.C. to support the ultimate goal of building U.S. national awareness of PLAY. In addition to making a splash for PLAY on its U.S. launch day, the BIGfish team also launched two new U.S. destinations and the airline's inaugural flights from Baltimore, Boston, and New York in the spring of 2022.
To introduce PLAY to the United States market, BIGfish strategized positioning that would drive media attention, highlighting PLAY as an airline bold enough to launch during a pandemic and the choice for consumers as they return to international travel.
BIGfish's media strategy included embargoed outreach to line up a stream of top-tier coverage on the launch day and drive ticket sales of PLAY's first U.S. flights. After the airline's initial introduction, BIGfish worked to continue the momentum as PLAY prepared to begin service in 2022. The team continued to pitch the media, tapping into creative angles and travel trends, to secure coverage leading up to PLAY's inaugural flights. As the airline launched flights from Baltimore, Boston, and New York between April and June 2022, BIGfish created excitement by landing coverage for each inaugural flight with interviews in local markets and putting top tier travel press on the flights for a trip to Iceland.
From December 2021 to June 2022, PLAY was mentioned in more than 300 stories for a total of 1.1 billion impressions in outlets including Axios, Cheddar, Forbes, Good Morning America, New York Times, TravelPulse, The Boston Globe, Thrillist, and more.
Within six months, BIGfish took PLAY from an airline known only in Europe to a leading low-cost airline in the United States. Kicking off with the initial ticket sales launch in November, BIGfish continued the momentum through the airline's final inaugural flight in June, securing over 1.1 billion impressions along the way with coverage in Good Morning America, Condé Nast Traveler, The New York Times, CNBC, Thrillist, Travel + Leisure, and more.

Another reason Congress should get on board with the IT Modernization Fund or the MOVE-IT Act: The cost of technology per federal employee on average is more than $39,000. Yes you read that correctly, the government spends per worker on average the same as if you bought a new Cadillac XT5 or a Lexus RC 200t or a Volvo XC70.
Shawn McCarthy, the research director IDC Government, collected the data and did the math to find once he removed the education and government sectors, the average industry spends four times less than the federal government for IT per employee based on 2013 dollars.
It's that baggage that federal chief information officer Tony Scott continues to use to make his case to industry and legislators alike.
Scott, who spoke at the recent FCW Cyber Summit in Washington, said the government's old technology deficit is up to $7.5 billion over the next three years. This means based on his conversations with three large suppliers of network hardware and software, the amount of technology that will need to be replaced because it's going "end of life" has grown by $4.5 billion since May.
McCarthy's research supports Scott's secondary premise that old infrastructure costs too much to maintain and forces agencies into making hard budget decisions about new versus old.
McCarthy said the key to cutting costs in an IT environment like the governments is to tightly focus on asset management.
The Office of Management and Budget recognizes this asset management challenge is related to the funding challenge agencies face. That's why it's been pressing agencies to get their assets under better control. OMB's six memos over the past year focused on improving how agencies manage and buy technology, from data centers to software licenses to laptops and desktops.
And it also may be the reason way Scott, for the first time, publicly supported the Modernizing Obsolete and Vulnerable Enterprise IT (MOVE-IT) Act.
He said there is room for both the administration's IT Modernization Fund (ITMF) proposal and this new bill from Reps. Will Hurd (R-Texas), chairman of the Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on IT, and Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) and Sens. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) and Tom Udall (D-N.M.).
Scott said the MOVE-IT Act is a good companion piece to the ITMF.
By having the short term infusion of funding from the ITMF and the long-term ability of agencies to keep savings and repurpose them for new projects, it would address the challenges McCarthy says is driving up the cost of IT per employee in the government.
But even if Congress fails to come through with either proposal, Scott said OMB is finishing up its guidance for how CIOs can move toward a continuous technology refresh cycle.
OMB released draft policy obtained by Federal News Radio in February detailing a four-step plan to help agencies plan for IT upgrades.
"The guidance is not ITMF specific. Whether there is ITMF or MOVE-IT or some combination of that or none, the guidance we are going to give is good practice no matter what. It's intended to address a lot of things…like CIOs identifying what legacy they have, outlining the plans that they could put together to replace it and really sending a signal to what the real need is," Scott said in late August.

Key House panel announces hearing to investigate surge of vaping-related illnesses
4 months 1 week 3 days ago Tuesday, September 10 2019 Sep 10, 2019 September 10, 2019 10:39 PM September 10, 2019 in News
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Oversight and Investigations panel announced today that it will hold a hearing Wednesday, September 25, as part of its ongoing investigation into the recent surge of vaping-related illnesses that has affected more than 450 people in more than 30 states across the country.
The announcement comes as federal and state health officials across the country continue to search for answers as to what has caused the sudden spike of illnesses – and as Kansas health officials confirmed today the nation's sixth death linked to the disease.
DeGette, whose panel directly oversees the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, said Tuesday that officials from both the CDC and FDA will be among those called to testify Sept. 25 as the panel investigates the link between e-cigarettes and the recent surge of illnesses.
"This recent surge in vaping-related illnesses shows exactly why more federal regulation of these vaping products is so important," DeGette said. "No one who uses these products knows what they are inhaling into their bodies, or how it might affect their health. We can, and must, do more to protect the health of the American people. Our committee is determined to find out exactly what is causing these life-threatening illnesses and what needs to be done to prevent them."
DeGette, who has been among those leading the charge in Congress to increase federal regulation on the use of e-cigarettes, said Tuesday that in addition to investigating the recent spike in vaping-related illnesses, the subcommittee is also looking at the overall health impact of vaping products and their appeal to young people.
Earlier this year, DeGette introduced legislation that would ban the sale of kid-friendly flavored nicotine products used in e-cigarettes, which many experts say has led to the rise in the number of teens now vaping, and which some doctors believe could be linked to the recent spike in illnesses.
DeGette also introduced a separate piece of legislation this year to raise the nationwide smoking age, for both traditional and e-cigarettes, from 18 to 21.
Additional details regarding the Sept. 25 hearing will be sent as they become available.

Thomas "Tom" Edwin Steves, Sr.
Tom E. Steves, Sr., 68, died Tuesday, May 26, 2009. A well-known veteran of marketing and advertising, Tom's career began in banking immediately upon his honorable discharge in 1961 from the United States Navy. Starting out as a "runner" for First National Bank in Little Rock (now Regions Bank), Tom also began a college career that concluded with his graduation in 1969 from Little Rock University (now the University of Arkansas at Little Rock). Concurrent with his graduation was his promotion to senior vice president of First National.
With a commitment to and affection for UALR, Tom served for seven years as an adjunct professor of marketing and advertising, instructing working students who attended the university in its evening class division.
In 1977, Tom joined Commercial National Bank of Little Rock where he rose to the position of executive vice president. In 1982, he left the banking profession to enter the advertising agency business as vice president and director of client services for Mangan Rains Ginnaven Holcomb, followed by executive vice president and chief operating officer for Cranford Johnson Robinson Woods, one of the largest advertising, marketing and public relations firms in the Middle South. A one-time client of CJRW, Tom realized a dream of helping run one of the region's premier marketing communications companies.
In 2002, Tom received an invitation from former UALR classmate, Bob Birch, president and CEO of Twin City Bank, to join the new TCB as vice president of marketing. Working with Birch and the executive committee of the bank, Tom helped TCB grow to over $700 million in total assets with 17 branch offices. At the time of his death, Tom was serving as executive vice president and director of public relations for TCB.
Civic involvement was always one way Tom gave back to the community that provided him with so many opportunities. He serviced as board member for Carelink, Downtown Little Rock Partnership, and was active in Chamber of Commerce activities on both sides of the river. Tom was a member of the Public Relations Society of America, and previously served as president of the Main Street Argenta program, vice chairman of the Greater Little Rock Chamber of Commerce and the United Way of Pulaski County, and was a board member of the Arkansas Historic Preservation Alliance, the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, and the Capital Club.
Tom was preceded in death by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C. Steves. He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Robin, his son, Tom E. Steves, Jr., and his wife Mary Kay, daughter Hope Baker, one granddaughter, Victoria Brooklyn Steves, and his sister, Mary Ann Gajda, of Chicago and her husband Steve.
Memorial services will be held Saturday, May 30 at 10:00 am at First Assembly of God Church, Commercial & Burrow in North Little Rock. Visitation will be Friday, May 29, 2009 from 6:00 to 8:00 pm at Roller-Owens Funeral Home at 5509 JFK Blvd. in North Little Rock (501-791-7400)
The family asked that memorials be made to the Pulaski County Humane Society, 14600 Colonel Glenn Rd. Little Rock, AR 72210, or to Carelink, P.O. Box 5988, North Little Rock, AR 72119.

Mark Anstice (born 17 May 1967 in the Angus Glens area of Scotland) is a Scottish explorer, adventurous documentary reality television film maker and writer. He is best known for appearing in the Travel Channel's series Mark & Olly: Living with the Tribes with Oliver Steeds.

Army career
After school, Anstice travelled extensively throughout Australia and Asia.  In London he joined the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards of the British Army. Anstice spent six years in the guards with operational commitments in the Middle East, Central America and Bosnia, leaving the service in 1995 as a Captain.

Television career
In 2000, Mark travelled along with his friend Bruce Parry for 77 days to climb Puncak Mandala in the Indonesian part of New Guinea. This is the third highest mountain of Australasia, but is little known and rarely climbed (their ascent probably being only the third one). During the expedition, the team had first contact with some members of the Korowai tribe. In the course of the expedition, the adventure documentary, Extreme Lives: Cannibals and Crampons. was co-directed and written along with Bruce Parry. The film won both the Banff Mountain Film Festival and Kendal Mountain Film Festival.

Mark subsequently wrote the book First Contact, published by Eye Books., which was published in 2004.  chronicling the expedition to Mount Mandela.

In 2005, Mark took part in the recreation of the Terra Nova Expedition of Robert Falcon Scott and the Amundsen's South Pole expedition of Roald Amundsen as part of the BBC Blizzard: Race to the Pole documentary. The documentary reconstructed the 2500 km expedition using the same equipment, food and clothing as the original two teams, placing the setting in Greenland as dogs were no longer allowed in Antarctica.

Between 2006 and 2008 he co-presented, with Olly Steeds, three 8-part series for Travel Channel in each of which the duo went to live with a remote, jungle-dwelling tribe for three months. In 2009, amidst growing resentment at the way their experiences were edited for the viewing audience, and public controversy surrounding the edit of the third series Steeds left the team and the show was axed. Anstice went on to make a different series, 'Secrets of The Tribes', in West Africa.

Mark Anstice currently runs the charity Fertile Roots Foundation.

The value of cash transacted through mobile phones rose by Sh283.37 billion in the 12 months ended December 2017 compared to the previous year, fresh data from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) shows.
Mobile payments nearly hit Sh3.64 trillion last year translating to a daily average of Sh9.97 billion, reflecting rising settlements via mobile phones.
Mobile cash transfers in December touched a record Sh332.62 billion, a growth of Sh33.66 billion compared with November as business activities started to pick up after months of heightened political tension.
Communications Authority of Kenya (CA), the telecoms regulator, in a quarterly report late December said mobile payments are now being driven more by mobile commerce than Person-to-Person (P2P) transactions.
The value of M-commerce transactions between July and September 2017, for example, jumped 60 per cent year-on-year compared with P2P cash transfers that rose 14.7 per cent, the CA report showed without disclosing the actual numbers.
"People only see when I transfer money from one person to another. But you can also see now and going forward, the integration of (mobile) payment services with various sectors, especially financial services sector, is continuing to grow," Stephen Nduati, who headed the National Payments System at CBK for 10 years until May 2017 and now works as independent mobile money consultant, said in an interview.
The latest driver of M-commerce is the growing demand for instant low-value unsecured mobile loans.
That followed suspension of unsecured personal loans by most commercial banks on the back of September 2016 cap on loan charges.
"All the leading banks, without exception, are actually looking at that (mobile loans)," head of financial services and risk advisory leader for East Africa at consultancy and audit firm EY, Robert Nyamu said recently.

International Breast Cancer Surgical Mission Raising Funds For Next Mission During Hamptons Benefit

Southampton-based The International Breast Cancer Surgical Mission (IBCSM) is preparing for its latest visit to the Dominican Republic where they will provide life changing services - including breast cancer screenings and diagnoses, and surgeries for malignancy and adjuvant therapies - in low income areas completely free.
In both developed and undeveloped countries breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, according to the World Health Organization. Breast cancer causes 458,000 deaths each year, and more than half of those deaths (269,000) occur in middle to lower income countries because residents lack access to early screening and treatment.
Led by Dr. Edna Kapenhas, Medical Director of the Ellen Hermanson Breast Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, IBCSM will travel to Santiago in February and work alongside the Caríbe Breast Cancer Care at the Dominican Republic's top regional public cancer hospital, Instituto Oncologico Regional del Cibao. This will mark The International Breast Cancer Surgical Mission's 6th annual medical mission to the Dominican Republic.
"I always wanted to get involved in a medical mission and have the opportunity to help those less fortunate than us. In response to a global need, Caribe Breast Cancer Care was formed," Dr. Kapenhas explained. "Partnering with the International Breast Cancer Team of Southampton, N.Y., led by me, screening, diagnosis and surgical treatment of breast cancer is now available on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic."

On Saturday, January 13 you can Get Your Pink On! while supporting IBCSM during a fundraiser at Union Cantina in Southampton. From 7 to 11 p.m. attendees will enjoy an open bar, taco bar, raffles, a silent auction, and dancing.
Funds raised during the benefit will support the medical team's travels, as well as supplies necessary for the procedures and exams - such as anesthesia, overnight hospital stay, pathology screenings, biopsies, dressing supplies, medications, chemotherapy, bras, wigs, and more. The team works with those who are unable to afford medical care, meaning that early detection is essentially nonexistent and patients are more likely to have advanced cases. Since these patients can't afford health care, radiation and chemotherapy are typically not an option, however the team aids to arrange and pay for patients to receive these vital services.
"The team will be volunteering in the Dominican Republic to help those in need this coming February free of charge," Dr. Kapenhas added.
The organization's mission is to return to the Dominican yearly to screen, diagnose, and treat patients.
Tickets to Get Your Pink On! are $100 in advance and $115 at the door.
Union Cantina is located at 40 Bowden Square in Southampton. For tickets, visit ibcsm.ticketleap.com. For those unable to make the benefit, you can learn more about the mission by visiting www.gofundme.com. For more information about IBCSM, visit www.facebook.com.
