Q: How to pass pk argument within class based view to queryset in Django I have the following Django urls/views and Models:
Models.py:
ORDER_COLUMN_CHOICES = Choices(
    ('0', 'id'),
    ('1', 'code'),
    ('2', 'code_type'),
    ('3', 'created'),
    ('4', 'updated'),
    ('5', 'valid'),
)

class Identifier(TimeStampMixin, models.Model):
    code_type = models.CharField(max_length=10, null=True)
    code = models.CharField(max_length=12)
    account = models.ForeignKey(Account, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True)
    actflag = models.CharField(max_length=1, blank=True)
    valid = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.code

    class Meta:
        db_table = "portfolio_identifier"

def query_identifier_by_args(**kwargs):
    draw = int(kwargs.get('draw', None)[0])
    length = int(kwargs.get('length', None)[0])
    start = int(kwargs.get('start', None)[0])
    search_value = kwargs.get('search[value]', None)[0]
    order_column = kwargs.get('order[0][column]', None)[0]
    order = kwargs.get('order[0][dir]', None)[0]

    order_column = ORDER_COLUMN_CHOICES[order_column]
    # django orm '-' -> desc
    if order == 'desc':
        order_column = '-' + order_column

    queryset = Identifier.objects.all()
    total = queryset.count()

    if search_value:
        queryset = queryset.filter(Q(id__icontains=search_value) |
                                        Q(code__icontains=search_value) |
                                        Q(code_type__icontains=search_value) |
                                        Q(created__icontains=search_value) |
                                        Q(updated__icontains=search_value) |
                                        Q(valid__icontains=search_value))

    count = queryset.count()
    queryset = queryset.order_by(order_column)[start:start + length]
    return {
        'items': queryset,
        'count': count,
        'total': total,
        'draw': draw
    }

Urls.py
from . import views
from rest_framework.routers import DefaultRouter
from apps.portfolio.views import IdentifierViewSet

router = DefaultRouter()
router.register(r'portfolio', IdentifierViewSet)

urlpatterns = [
    path('portfolios/', views.portfolios, name="portfolios"),
    path('portfolio/<str:pk>/', views.portfolio, name="portfolio"),
    path('api/', include(router.urls)),

]

Views.py
def portfolio(request, pk):
    portfolio = Account.objects.get(id=pk)

    identifiers = Identifier.objects.filter(account=pk)

    context = {"portfolio": portfolio, "identifiers": identifiers}

    return render(request, 'portfolio.html', context)

class IdentifierViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):

    queryset = Identifier.objects.all()
    serializer_class = IdentifierSerializer
    authentication_classes = []

    def get_queryset(self):
        account_pk = self.kwargs["pk"]
        return super().get_queryset().filter(account=account_pk)

    def list(self, request, **kwargs):

        try:
            identifier = query_identifier_by_args(**request.query_params)
            serializer = IdentifierSerializer(identifier['items'], many=True)
            result = dict()
            result['data'] = serializer.data
            result['draw'] = identifier['draw']
            result['recordsTotal'] = identifier['total']
            result['recordsFiltered'] = identifier['count']
            return Response(result, status=status.HTTP_200_OK, template_name=None, content_type=None)

        except Exception as e:
            return Response(e, status=status.HTTP_404_NOT_FOUND, template_name=None, content_type=None)

Within the Views I have a Class based view IdentifierViewSet with the following queryset line queryset = Identifier.objects.all() which retreievs all data from the db model however I would like to only retrieve queryset based on portfolio associated with the user's account which works using the following lines of code taken from the function based view portfolio:
 portfolio = Account.objects.get(id=pk)

 identifiers = Identifier.objects.filter(account=pk)

I was unable to pass the pk from urls to this class based view but was able to do so with the function based view.
How can I go about passing the above object queries to within the Class based view to replace the queryset in the Class based view queryset = Identifier.objects.all()?

A: To do that you can override the get_queryset method from the Django ModelViewSet.
def get_queryset(self):
    portfolio = Account.objects.get(id=self.request.account.pk)
    #... do something
    identifiers = Identifier.objects.filter(account=self.request.account.pk)
    return identifiers

A: There are list(), retrieve(), create(), update(), partial_update(), destroy() functions and the pk parameter can be passed to four functions except list and create.
For example, for PUT method of the API, you can customize the update function.
class IdentifierViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    queryset = Identifier.objects.all()
    serializer_class = IdentifierSerializer
    authentication_classes = []

    def list(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        ...

    def update(self, request, pk):
        # you can get the pk here
        print(pk)

        # you can get the object with the current `pk`
        instance = self.get_object()
        ...

You can also customize other functions like this.


Let's be fair, client service is certainly important, but research shows that there are other factors that are more powerful when it comes to attracting new clients to your firm.
In fact, as a differentiator for your firm, client service simply does not resonate because it fails to take into account how clients shop for accounting services. What clients are truly looking for is relevant expertise and industry experience solving the kinds of issues they face.
In short, clients want a firm that can and will solve their specific problems. Buyers assume that client service is a given. How could you be in business otherwise? If it's not, they will eventually replace you. But it is generally not anywhere near the top of the shopping list.
Here is another sobering fact: Almost two-thirds of accounting firms (63%) claim that superior client service is their differentiator! Imagine that. It's no wonder that many prospects feel as though "everyone says that".
In reality, there are much more powerful ways to differentiate your firm. Research shows that accounting firms that tout superior customer service as their primary differentiator grow at about 7.1 percent a year, which is on par with the average growth rate in the accounting industry.
Firms using other differentiators see growth rates averaging 17.8 percent. That kind of difference justifies considering major changes, even if they are difficult.
What factors drive that kind of growth? In a recent study by Hinge, we looked at 10 factors that can tip the scale in the buying decision.
We asked both the firms that were selling services (accounting firms) and the companies that were buying (prospective clients). Some things that matter most to buyers where a good reputation, an existing relationship and specialization or expertise.
The study also revealed some interesting misperceptions that are widely held. For example, for all the talk we hear about referrals and references, buyers rated both items extremely low.
Do you know what else came in low? Client service. Buyers rate it last on the list of things that drive them to sign a contact. Significantly, firms selling services rated it much higher.
So how can you find a differentiator that can sharpen your competitive position? Here is one example that also comes from the research cited above. As it turns out, the involvement of senior leadership trumped customer service as a selection criteria in the eyes of buyers.
Who wouldn't want the best brains working on their account? This same factor was rated so low by sellers that it was barely on their radar. For some smaller firms looking to grow, that might be a substantial insight.
Overall, the takeaway is that it pays to sync your firm's differentiators to the factors that drive client decision making around which accounting firms they choose. The research here is a great start.
The next step is to go farther down that path and conduct your own research into your own target client pool. A survey of clients past and present -- and prospects, -- that asks about what drives buying decisions can provide information that is extremely valuable to your marketing efforts.
Concentrate your research on important client priorities so you get an understanding of what challenges your potential new clients are struggling with. Also, walk through the buying process so you understand how they think about it and what they see as important.
I can pretty much guarantee you will be in for some eye opening surprises. The more you know about what clients and prospects want, the more you can customize your marketing outreach, your proposals and your sales conversations.
In many cases, the fact that you have done research and can speak to specifically to client needs will itself be a powerful differentiator. Of course, client service is not to be minimized in overall picture.
True, it is not likely to be a growth engine for you firm. How you treat clients and address their needs matters -- and it matters primarily when it comes to retention. You need good service to keep your clients returning year after year.
But when it comes to differentiating your firm from its competitors, look hard at what drives their decisions. It may not be what you think.
Lee W. Frederiksen, PhD, is managing partner at Hinge, a marketing firm that specializes in branding and marketing for professional services. Hinge conducts groundbreaking research into high-growth firms and offers a complete suite of services for firms that want to become more visible and grow.
I think that a lot of what customers want is a good price, but they do value good service too. If you want to make sure that you have repeat business, you're going to have to ensure that you find a good balance of it all so that you can retain their loyalty and have them come back to you once you've done your job the first time!
Consumers have very different expectations of each of the various businesses so you would need to learn exactly what they truly demand in order to cater to each and everyone of them accordingly. Though you might think that client service isn't that important afterall, but not every consumer thinks this. Do not overlook the fact that there could still be a certain percentage of consumers who might still favor client service above everything else.

Does it Though?
I checked out Trey Edward Shults' thriller It Comes At Night earlier this week.
A family living in the woods after the end of the world are faced with a decision when a stranger arrives one night.
It Comes At Night is a little tricky for me to write about, as it was extremely well made and acted, but I never truly felt like it got out of second gear. I'm glad I knew nothing about this movie going in, as a look at the trailer infers a payoff that never really transpires. This movie was barely a horror film, leaning more into straight-up drama territory with some genre elements thrown in. I have no problem with that, but some critics have been holding this up to recent horror darlings Get Out, Under The Shadow and The Witch and I don't feel It Comes At Night is anywhere near as resonant as those titles.
I do think It Comes At Night has a lot in common with the latter title though, as it shares a similar forested colour pallete, pace and construct as The Witch. It just didn't payoff as well for me. I am interested to see if the same disconnect between critics and general audiences happens again.
Joel Edgerton (left) & Kelvin Harrison Jr. in It Comes At Night.
Even though this movie was fairly straightforward, Shults did some interesting things with the material. I appreciated that very little time was spent on exposition and why the world was in its current state. All the character interactions were spot on, as well. This truly is a tight ensemble piece. I also thought that Shutls' decision to change the aspect ratio in the film's final moments legitimately enhanced his intended feeling of claustrophobia.
I do have to admit it took me a while to get into the movie. It Comes At Night is a very quiet film and it sucks when the asshat behind you not only has the loudest fucking popcorn bag in the world, he also feels the need to crack a beer every thirty minutes. Man, the world is full of shitty people and I hope that when it finally goes tits up, people like him are the first to go.
Anyway, It Comes At Night is a solid movie, but I don't see myself ever revisiting it. Shults definitely has directing chops though, so (like The Witch's Robert Eggers) I'm keen to see where he goes from here.

US agency probes touch-screen failures in Tesla Model S
By TOM KRISHERJune 24, 2020 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Complaints that Tesla's giant touch screens can fail have drawn the attention of U.S. safety regulators.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents that it's investigating failures in the 2012 through 2015 Tesla Model S.
Documents posted Wednesday say the agency has received 11 complaints about the screens over the past 13 months in vehicles that have been in use from 3.9 years to 6.3 years.
If the screens fail, the cars will lose the rear camera display, causing reduced visibility. No crashes or injuries have been reported.
A message was left early Wednesday seeking comment from Tesla.
The probe covers 63,000 Model S vehicles with screens controlled by flash memory devices with finite lifespans based on the number of program and erase cycles, the documents said. The screens can fail prematurely because the memory can wear out.
The same screens and processors were used in 159,000 2012 through 2018 Model S and 2016 to 2018 Model X vehicles built through early 2018, the agency said.
Failures also cause loss of touch screen features such as infotainment, navigation and web browsing. If the screens fail, heating and air conditioning controls also will default to an auto mode, and limits on battery charging current can be affected, according to the documents. Failure doesn't affect braking, steering, speed control or other control systems, NHTSA said.
Any failures are likely to happen after performance degrades progressively including frequent screen resets and intermittent loss of cellular connections, the agency said.
Investigators will determine how often the failures occur and the safety consequences. Depending on the outcome, Tesla could be forced to recall the vehicles.

Armie Hammer Departs Jennifer Lopez Rom-Com Amid Social Media Scandal
The 'Social Network' star kicked off 2021 with a scandal involving alleged leaked messages about his sex life.
Armie Hammer has bowed out of a romantic comedy he was set to star alongside Jennifer Lopez amid a brewing controversy involving alleged leaked messages about his sex life.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E. star, 34, was due to start filming Shotun Wedding in the Dominican Republic in February. But on Wednesday (Jan 13), a rep for the Lionsgate production said, "Given the imminent start date of Shotgun Wedding, Armie has requested to step away from the film and we support him in his decision."
His role will now be recast.
News of Hammer quitting comes days after unsettlingly comments attributed to the actor appeared on social media over the weekend. The authenticity of these direct Instagram messages has not yet been verified.
In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Hammer said, "I'm not responding to these bullshit claims but in light of the vicious and spurious online attacks against me, I cannot in good conscience now leave my children for 4 months to shoot a film in the Dominican Republic. Lionsgate is supporting me in this and I'm grateful to them for that."
According to Page Six, these messages, leaked by anonymous social media account under the name of House of Effie, contained graphic sexual fantasies of rape and cannibalism.
In one message to a woman, Hammer allegedly wrote that he is "100 per cent a cannibal" and "desired to drink your blood." In another message, he purportedly talked about "cutting toes".
Shotgun Wedding, to be helmed by Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore, follows Darcy (Lopez) and Tom (the character Hammer was supposed to play) as they gather their families for a destination wedding. But things go sideways when the entire party is taken hostage.
In a candid 2013 interview with Playboy (via Page Six), Hammer said that he's a "dominant lover" who liked "grabbing women by the neck and hair." But he said that his sexual appetites changed after marrying his now-divorced wife Elizabeth Chambers. He added, "It gets to a point where you say, 'I respect you too much to do these things that I kind of want to do."
Hammer later blamed alcohol for being too forthcoming in that Playboy story. He told E! News, "Don't drink during an interview."

Le Ka est un instrument de musique apparenté à un tambour rythmique.

C'est un tambour du gwoka guadeloupéen, doté de deux types :

 le Boula : tambour rythmique grave. Autrefois appelé grotambou
 Makè la '' (soliste) : ce tambour sert pour l'improvisation et les variations, d'une sonorité plus aiguë que le 'Boula'

Fabrication
Traditionnellement, le boula est fabriqué avec la peau d'un cabri mâle. Cette peau est fixée à un morceau de tronc évidé (autrefois un tonneau de vin). Des trous sont perforés sur le pourtour supérieur afin de recevoir les chevilles qui tiendront la peau.

US to Train Ukrainians to Use Their New 155mm Howitzers
The donated artillery is expected to arrive within days—but there are reports that the Russian assault in the east is already starting.
Caitlin M. Kenney
Staff Reporter, Defense One
U.S. troops will train Ukrainian counterparts to use the artillery pieces headed their way against Russian forces gathering in Ukraine's Donbas region, defense officials said Monday—just hours before Ukrainian officials reported intense shelling ahead of an expected new assault.
"We believe we're going to be able to start this training in the next several days. It'll be just the initial efforts. There may be additional ones in other places and at other times," a senior defense official told reporters.
The U.S. is sending eighteen 155mm towed howitzers and 40,000 artillery rounds drawn from domestic U.S. Army and Marine Corps units as part of the recent $800 million security assistance package for Ukraine. Four flights with other equipment from the package arrived in the region Sunday and another is expected within a day. The artillery and ammunition are expected to head out soon.
"Artillery is a specific item that the Ukrainians asked for because of the fighting that they expect is going to occur in the Donbas," Pentagon spokesman John Kirby told reporters Monday. "The terrain lends itself to the use of artillery, to long-range fires as we call it. And we know that the Russians also believe the same thing, because we're seeing them move artillery units into the Donbas as well. And so we want to give the Ukrainians every bit of advantage that we can."
The "train the trainer" work will take place outside Ukraine with a small number of Ukrainian troops, according to Kirby, who would not give the location. The troops will then return to Ukraine to train their colleagues.
The Pentagon expects the Ukrainian trainers to quickly learn to use the American artillery pieces, Kirby said.
"The Ukrainians typically use 152mm. It's a different caliber but it doesn't mean that it's going to be overly laborious to get them up to speed on this. And I think, again, we'll be able to get this training done, at least the first round of it, in the next several days," he said.
U.S. troops have routinely trained Ukrainians in Ukraine since Russia seized Crimea in 2014. But the Pentagon withdrew its forces—elements of the Florida National Guard—just before Russia's larger invasion began on Feb. 24.
Earlier this month, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told lawmakers that U.S. troops were training Ukrainians outside the country on to use some of the gear being sent to them.
The new U.S. equipment is heading to Ukraine as Russian forces continue to concentrate their ground forces in Ukraine's east and the south and set up conditions for future operations. They have sent 11 additional battalion tactical groups to Ukraine over the past few days, the senior defense official said. The Pentagon also believes that about 22 Russian battalion tactical groups north of Ukraine are going through some form of refitting and resupply.
In the Donbas region, where Ukrainian troops have been fighting Russian-backed separatists for several years, Russia is "moving in heavy artillery, they're moving in command-and-control enablers, they're moving in aviation, particularly rotary aviation support," the senior defense official said. "It appears as if they are trying to learn from the failed lessons of the north, where they didn't have proper sustainment capabilities in the area they were about to operate."
The Russians still have "significant challenges" with command and control, logistics and sustainment, Kirby said. Whether they will learn from their past mistakes is still to be seen.
"They're conducting themselves in ways that we didn't see them around Kyiv, for instance. So it appears as if they're trying to learn. Now whether they will be successful in doing that, whether we can say they have learned, I just don't think it's—we're ready to say that right now. I think it's too soon to know," he said.

Clinical trial registration CTRI:REF/2013/10/005804
Context Sedation is commonly used to improve patients' tolerance and comfort during flexible bronchoscopy (FB). Dexmedetomidine is a relatively novel sedative for use in FB. Aims The aim of this study was to compare dexmedetomidine and propofol as sole sedative agent in terms of hemodynamics, efficacy, safety and tolerance to the procedure among patients undergoing FB. Settings and design This study was carried out in a tertiary care teaching hospital, and was a double-blind randomized-controlled trial. Patients and methods Sixty patients were analyzed. Group 1 received propofol (1 mg/kg bolus, then 5 mg/kg/h infusion); group 2 received dexmedetomidine (1 mg/kg bolus, followed by 0.7 mg/kg/h infusion). Intraoperative (IOP) SpO 2 , heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and respiratory rate were recorded at nine time points. Primary outcome variables were hemodynamic variables, level of sedation, and recovery time (to reach an Aldrete score 10/10). Results The dexmedetomidine group showed significantly lower mean heart rate than the propofol group at IOP 0 , IOP 2 , and IOP 4 . The mean arterial pressure was significantly higher throughout the procedure in the dexmedetomidine group compared with the propofol group (P < 0.001). A significant decrease in respiratory rate was noted in the dexmedetomidine group at IOP 4 and IOP 6 (P < 0.001). The lowest mean SpO 2 was noted in the dexmedetomidine group (97.0 ± 1.1). Incidences of bucking and coughing were significantly higher in the dexmedetomidine group. Bronchoscopist visual analogue scale scores for coughing and satisfaction were significantly lower in the propofol group (P < 0.001). Recovery time was shorter in the propofol group [3 (1.2) vs. 4.5 (1.1) min] (P < 0.001). Conclusion Propofol showed superiority over dexmedetomidine in terms of safety, efficacy, adverse-effect profile, and tolerance to the procedure in patients undergoing diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy.

On May the 9th, Esa Mohamed, President of UIA, and Joseph Rykwert, President of CICA, met in London at the Royal Institute of British Architects, RIBA, to establish an agreement to further their relationship.
CICA, created at the 13th UIA Congress in Mexico City in 1978, inaugurated at that time a partnership with UIA that will now be broadened by working together in the bettering of the architectural profession. Habitat, sustainability, resilience and cultural heritage are the main topics that preoccupy CICA and the UIA, joining forces in the implementation of their policies, to attain architecture as expression of culture and as a human right.
lnternational Union of Architects, UlA, and lnternational Committee of Architectural Critics, CICA
PREAMBLE There has been a relationship between the UIA and the CICA, starting with the creation of this last one in 1978, in the 13th UIA Congress in Mexico City; since then, CICA has been part of all UIA Congresses.
Joseph Rykwert, President of CICA (left) and Esa Mohamed, President of UIA (right).
Both organizations wish to sign an Agreement to further this relationship in the following ways:
1. CICA stated in its founding statement
– that collaboration and dialogue between the architectural profession and architectural critics should be organised on a permanent basis within the framework of the UlA.
– and believes that criticism and evaluation should be recognised as a part of the architectural process, from the program stage through to the final design details.
2. UIA and CICA agree
– to activate this relationship, invite to and acknowledge each organization at the others General Assemblies and World Congresses, provide members for each other relevant committees and work programs and to link their websites.
3. UIA and CICA
– will work together in the bettering of the architectural profession, through education and the media.
– will contribute to foster and offer judgement and opinion on competitions.
5. Habitat, Sustainability, Resilience and Cultural Heritage
– since these are the main topics that preoccupy CICA and the UlA, they pledge to join forces in the implementation of their policies.
6. Changes through the world
– since architecture, as expression of culture and as a human right is currently seriously challenged in various countries, CICA and UIA commit themselves to a mutual support of their members.
-will inform each other of all initiatives about their objects of interest.
8. Liaisons with other bodies
UlA will link with CICA, to share experiences with other bodies committees and work programmes, to further the presence of architectural awareness and criticism and of any other matter of mutual interest.
Esa Mohamed, President of UIA Joseph Rykwert, President of CICA

As a victim of type 1 or type 2 diabetes then a strict control of your diet would keep your muscles and essential organs secure in the long run. However coffee acidity, eating from a narrowed selection of foods may lead to boredom and also depression. With a little dose of care and understanding, you too can get the best choices for fast food for diabetics you could enjoy without stressing about escalation of blood glucose levels.
An inescapable exercise that has to be done before each meal is to calculate the carbohydrate, sugar, fat and protein content of each dish before you could eat it or even make it. This will provide you with a concept as to the actual way it will impact your blood sugar right after the meal. The goal is to guarantee minimum fluctuation so your sugar levels continue to be within approved limits. There are several dishes which can be chosen from any restaurant food selection. In addition there are some dishes that you should certainly avoid if you're diabetic. Soups and salads may be enjoyed in almost all restaurants as long as they do not comprise mayonnaise, massive amount of cream or any fried or high-fat dressings or perhaps toppings.
Almost all vegetables that contain low levels of sodium and carbohydrates are usually safe enough to have. White meat just like grilled chicken too is rather safe to eat compared to red meat or fried chicken. The same items are also suitable for any dog and cat that has diabetes, though it would have to be manufactured in accordance with their tastes. Respected companies such as Royal Canin have special diabetic food items including dry foods that are safe for your dog or cat. Returning to your foods, even though you usually do not find ideal dishes in hotel menus, you'll probably still be capable to request the chef to prepare up a safe meal for you. In case the chef has the required products to plan out a safe and secure meal, then he or she might surely do it for you. You can also request the chef to exchange some items for instance salt for lemon juice, etc, to be able to conserve the taste while reducing sodium.
It's also advisable to study the food pyramid guide, that is normally available at any bookstore or health food store. This will help you to chart out your diet plan plus help you if you are forced to eat at virtually any fast food joint. When you have a bit of time beforehand, then look into the fast food joint's website for any dietary information that may be provided in opposition to each and every fast food dish. This will help you to calculate the calories of each and every dish and will make your choice easier. Additionally, there are some stores that now offer a massive amount of sugar-free food products such as cookies in places for instance Langley, among others. You may enjoy these treats provided you stay in control. Also remember to stay properly hydrated so that you do not have problems with dehydration.
Diabetes can cut the wide range of dishes which you may be capable to eat but with a little research and ingenuity, you can still appreciate your fast food meals without your sugar levels firing over the top. By selecting the best items or requesting the chef to make some alterations, you possibly can certainly acquire the best choices for fast food for diabetics.

Affirmative action a flop, make it needs-based, says Sabah think tank chairman
Tracy Patrick
April 3, 2019 7:40 AM
Simon Sipaun says the policy is unfair to non-Malay minorities as it only benefitted the majority race of a particular religion. (Facebook pic)
KOTA KINABALU: Institute for Development Studies (IDS) Sabah chairman Simon Sipaun says the affirmative action policy is a failure as it has only benefitted the elite few and caused divisions in society.
Speaking at the Roundtable Discussion on Inclusive Governance Utilising International Standards on Non-Discrimination here, Sipaun said this was because affirmative action in Malaysia was race and religion based and not based on needs.
"It is not conducive to the creation and maintenance of genuine national unity and integration. It has become a divisive factor, defeating the objectives of the New Economic Policy (NEP), which we sometimes refer to as the 'Never Ending Policy'," he said.
The former Suhakam vice-chairman said the policy was unfair to non-Malay minorities as it only benefitted the majority race of a particular religion, although it involved public funds contributed by all tax-paying Malaysians irrespective of race and religion.
He also blamed the policy for triggering a brain-drain situation in Malaysia with as many as a million of mostly highly qualified Malaysians leaving the country, as reported by the World Bank in 2011.
"This has made the country less attractive to potential investors. I think that figure is much higher by now. More recently, a study showed 71% of Malaysians feel race and religion-based affirmative action is obsolete.
"Critics of the policy prefer 'colour blind' affirmative action targeting the poor and needy irrespective of race and religion," he said.
Besides, he said, the policy had not produced the desired effect, with the economic gap between Malays and non-Malays continuing to exist.
He attributed this to the strong will of the non-Malays to survive under adversity and the dependency syndrome of the Malays.
He suggested the government revisit the National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP) which was launched by former prime minister Najib Razak last year.
"Since then, I have not heard anything about it. I am surprised no MP appears to be interested to ask questions about it in Parliament. It should be revisited to ascertain if it made any difference for the better in the promotion and protection of human rights in the country," he said.
He also called for the creation of a new ministry called Ministry of Indigenous Peoples' Affairs.
The Aboriginal Peoples Act 1954, he said, should be repealed and the Federal Constitution amended to enable the Orang Asli to enjoy all the rights and privileges of the Malays.
"If there is any community which deserves affirmative action, it should be the Orang Asli. They are the original inhabitants of Malaya.
"Since Aug 31, 1957, I believe the government has not trained and prepared even one Orang Asli to head the department which is supposed to take care of the Orang Asli.
"After more than 61 years of Malaya's independence, finally there is at least one Orang Asli MP. The Orang Asli are subjected to an apartheid-like system," he said.
He proposed the repeal of all laws which empowered the government to arrest without trial. He also called for the strengthening of Suhakam by making it obligatory for Parliament to debate its annual report and for the commissioners' term of appointment to be changed to one-term non-renewable for a period of seven years.
He proposed that human rights education be introduced in schools and institutions of higher learning.
"Democratic institutions should be strengthened, including the observance of clean, free and fair elections. Government assistance should be based on needs rather than race, religion and politics," he concluded.

Q: Gradle: Exclude from compile, but still have Autocompletion First of all some background:
I'm currently refactoring our application for Internal Tools and Scripts, and got into 'beauty problems' some would call it.
The base structure of the application should not include the scripts that are being created, those will be downloaded by the application on request. Imagine it like an AppStore for Internal Tools.
But to give developers in the new repository the Option to create those scripts, with auto completion, I'm searching for a way to include an external folder to the indexed files in IntelliJ, that doesn't add the whole folder to the compile task.
Folder structure is like that:
(1) ./ScriptSuite/scripts/
(2) ./src/main/

Where in (2) are all the backend sources, including Utilities and database connections etc. And in (1) are groovy script files, that can be loaded dynamically on request.
I want to avoid having the scripts in (2) cause this led to confusion earlier, because sometimes we couldn't differ if it's a script compiled at app start or a script downloaded from our server after app start.
I tried adding (1) to the build.gradle via:
sourceSets {
    main {
        groovy {
            srcDirs {
                'src/main/groovy'
            }
            srcDir {
                'ScriptSuite/scripts'
            }
        }
    }
}

But then the Files would be included in the compilation at App Start, which I'm trying to avoid, since those should be compiled at runtime by the GroovyScriptEngine. Also (1) is excluded from push into the repository, we host those on our S3 Bucket and other tools are in place for version control.
What did work, was adding (1) as a module source folder in IntelliJ itself, but this is only client side and won't get pushed into the repository, so everyone would have to configure it for himself (not good).
Any idea how to solve this problem with gradle ? I appreciate every help or tip !

Makeup is not only for women anymore and why should it be? Since male celebrities started wearing makeup it has become far more socially accepted than before. Men are equally as keen to want to look their best and to hide unsightly blemishes, saggy bags below the eyes as much as we do. I also know that teenage boys are just as self-conscious as teenage girls, each desperate to hide the spotty perils of a teenage skin.
So Guys this article is just for you. No need to go foraging in your girlfriend's handbag anymore. It's time you plucked courage and bought your own makeup bits.
Understandably you might feel a little awkward strolling into a shop to buy makeup, but with so many great men's makeup products online you don't have to. This month we will focus on making subtle improvements to the skin. How to hide blemishes, acne and unwanted spots I feel is as good a place to begin.
First wet your face with warm water to open pores then wash using a mild facial cleanser, which will not clog pores. Rinse well with warm water and then splash cold water on your face to close the pores. Pat the face dry with a clean towel and not one that is marked for the laundry basket.
Next apply an alcohol-free toner with a cotton ball onto the face and neck. Alcohol-free toners prepare the face for makeup without the harsh effects of traditional alcohol, menthol or witch hazel based toners.
Now apply a small dab of oil free primer or face cream and make sure that you avoid ingredients such as mica and lanolin, which are common cosmetic ingredients, and unfortunately can aggravate acne.
Concealer is an amazing product guys. Pick a colour a shade lighter than your skin tone. Using a cotton bud or small flat headed brush dab just enough to cover the offending spot. Pat on blemish, blend outward.
Using an oil free foundation – choose a foundation that is the closet to your natural skin tone and apply a small amount with your fingers evenly over the face. Avoid the beard area.
To finish and get that been in the sun look using what is known as a blusher brush, evenly apply an even, yet small amount of bronzer on your cheeks, forehead and if you're clean shaven to the jaw line.

Q: Problem with carousel while loading image dynamically I have used bootstrap material carousel. It works fine when I load image statically.Like:

First Event

This is our first event.

Second Event

This is our second event.

Third Event

This is our third event.

                keyboard_arrow_left
                Previous

                keyboard_arrow_right
                Next

But when I load images from database i.e dynamically, carousel's images splits in block view and carousel doesn't works anymore. Like when I load in this way:

                {{#each events}}

{{title}}

{{description}}

                {{/each}}

                keyboard_arrow_left
                Previous

                keyboard_arrow_right
                Next

When I load in this way images are seen in block view one after another instead of carousel.

I can see those images but not as a carousel. I mean I am getting images from back end but they are not displayed well.
For kind information I have used node js and handlebars as template engine.
What is wrong here? I am new to node and sorry if it was a simple question.

A: The class active is included in all slides, that's why all of them are visible.

FIrst for all, remove the class active in the slides, and with jQuery you can:  $('.carousel-item:first-child').addClass('active').

https://api.jquery.com/first-child-selector/

This will add the class active for the first node .carousel-item finded.

Hope it helped.
Cheers.

REVIEW: The Nutcracker (Joffrey Ballet)
Posted on December 11, 2010 by Scotty Zacher
Sugar plums in your tutu stocking
Joffrey Ballet presents
Written by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky
Directed by Robert Joffrey
at Auditorium Theatre, 50 E. Congress Parkway (map)
through Dec 26 | tickets: $25-$145 | more info
Reviewed by Lawrence Bommer
Scrooge requires four ghosts to save his dark soul from excess personal savings. George Bailey gets help from an angel desperate to make good and to do it too. But Clara, the heroine of Tchaikovsky's beloved Christmas ballet, earns her fantasy when she knocks out the Mouse King and frees her adored Nutcracker from his wooden curse. That's the perfect excuse to dance up a storm—or a blizzard. Yes, it's that time of year when six "Nutcrackers" hit the Chicago boards, none more splendid or popular than the Joffrey Ballet's annual confection, a gift from the late Robert Joffrey that keeps on giving.
This year's spectacle—the 15th since its 1996 Chicago debut–was gloriously unwrapped and heartily cheered at the Auditorium Theatre on Friday night, as it definitely and annually deserves. Oliver Smith's storybook set design is the perfect backdrop for the Victorian parlor from the 1850s, a magical battleground (against the Mice menace) and Land of Snow for the first half (choreographed by the late Gerald Arpino) and the spring-like Kingdom of Sweet for the second. (There's enough snow by the end of the first act to satisfy a dozen Chicago blizzards, with some to spare for Minneapolis. That's why we need the second act to sweeten the scene.)
The communal opening ball is, of course, a showcase for dancers, young and older. These depict the delighted guests at Clara's beautiful American manse who marvel at Dr. Drosselmeyer's cavorting automatons. Those mechanical dolls, rigidly presenting their preset terpsichorean displays, are a prelude to the real magic of the enchanted Nutcracker who, under a now-huge Christmas tree, helps Clara to free him from wooden bondage. That of course allows Drosselmeyer and the now humanly handsome Nutcracker to celebrate the victory with the Snow monarchs and their Snowflake corps de ballet, after which the Sugar Plum Fairy and her divertissements continue the fete in the hypoglycemic realm of sugary confections galore.
Anastacia Holden is the delighted Clara who serves as a lucky surrogate for all the kids in the crowd, with slim and elegant Mauro Villanueva as her dashing Nutcracker Prince. (His pas de deux with Yumelia Garcia's ravishing Sugar Plum Fairy was perfect, precise and even passionate.) The second act's novelty candy dances from Spain, Arabia, China, Russia and France amounted to a vaudevillian extravaganza in its own right. If the kids were any cuter, they'd explode.
The Chicago Sinfonietta bring Tchaikovsky's evergreen and everwhite score to generous life, a musical outpouring that ranges from 19th century quadrilles and polkas to waltzes that deserve their own perpetual motion. Hearing it makes you regret his suicide all the more. What marvels would he have composed after 53! That's a fantasy we can't indulge.
Speaking of homage, this year's performance is nobly dedicated to the late Richard Ellis, who danced the role of Drosselmeyer for 27 years in Ruth Page's Tribune Charities' production at the Arie Crown Theater.

Joffrey Ballet announces its 2010-2011 Season!
THE JOFFREY BALLET ANNOUNCES ITS 2010-2011 SEASON
Season to feature two mixed repertory programs:
showcasing World Premieres by Liang and Possokhov
toasting famed choreographers Balanchine and Wheeldon
Plus, the revival of The Taming of the Shrew and the return of America's #1 Nutcracker
Continuing in The Joffrey Ballet's mission to provide the highest level of performance quality, the season will feature live orchestral accompaniment by the Chicago Sinfonietta , the official orchestra of The Joffrey Ballet. All performances will take place in The Joffrey's home venue, the historic Auditorium Theatre of Roosevelt University, in downtown Chicago at 50 East Congress Parkway.
"The Joffrey's next season promises to be an intriguing array of dance," noted Artistic Director Ashley Wheater. "We'll salute the contributions of 20th century, New York masters in the fall, and introduce works by the next generation in the spring, with two full-length story ballets in between. Throughout the season we balance established and rising talent, mixed rep and evening-length ballets, contemporary and traditional. There's something for both the dance aficionado and the dance novice, and everyone in between."
Joffrey's "The Nutcracker" – 2007
Wheeldon's After the Rain
Balanchine's Stravinsky Violin Concerto
The Joffrey Ballet's 2010-2011 Season opens with a mixed repertory program of Company Premieres, highlighting 20th century New York icons. The program will include Christopher Wheeldon's emotionally resonant After the Rain (2005). Set to the minimalist, classical music of Arvo Pärt, After the Rain is in two sections that are strikingly different in tone, with the first section marked by steel gray costumes and backdrop with three couples creating bold lines and intricate lifts. The second section shifts to a warmer palette as dancers embody an emotional relationship, at times becoming tender and connected while at other times pulling away or struggling to find each other. The bill will also offer George Balanchine's Stravinsky Violin Concerto, which was revised in 1972 from a previous choreographic endeavor titled Balustrade that premiered in 1941. Using the opening "Toccata," two central "Arias" and the final "Capriccio" from Stravinsky's Violin Concerto in D, Balanchine forms contrasting pas de deux for two different couples. Dancers resemble musical notes floating over the stage in Balanchine's sensual and saucy homage to the genius of Igor Stravinksy. The fall program will include a third piece, to be announced at a later date. This program will be presented October 13 – 24, 2010.
December 11 – 26, 2010
Possibly America's #1 Nutcracker and Chicagoland's most popular holiday tradition, Robert Joffrey's production of The Nutcracker will again transform the Auditorium Theatre into a winter wonderland, complete with magical toys, dancing snowflakes and exotic sweets. The Tchaikovsky masterpiece, featuring the full Joffrey Company, ,local children's choruses and more than 120 young dancers, will be presented in seventeen performances, December 11 – 26, 2010.
February 16 – 27, 2011
John Cranko's The Taming of the Shrew
In February 2011, The Joffrey Ballet revisits the popular The Taming of the Shrew, last performed by The Joffrey in 2002. John Cranko's world-renowned ballet adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic story is a romantic comedy about the trials of finding balance in love. With music by Kurt-Heinz Stolze and Domenico Scarletti, The Taming of the Shrew depicts the boastful Petruchio as he attempts to tame the strong-willed Katherine. When it originally premiered at the Stuttgart Ballet in 1969, Cranko's translation re-defined narrative ballet through witty and subtle choreography that brought the characters and their foils vividly to life. The Joffrey will revive this two-act ballet February 16 – 27, 2011.
May 4 – 15, 2011
Commissioned works by Liang and Possokhov
The 2010-2011 Season concludes with a mixed repertory program featuring two World Premieres, by Edwaard Liang and Yuri Possokhov. A former soloist for New York City Ballet, Liang's first work for The Joffrey, The Age of Innocence, premiered in the fall of 2008 and was met with critical and audience acclaim. His theatrical work paired 19th century romanticism with athletic prowess and a contemporary sensibility. Possokhov, a former dancer for the Bolshoi Ballet, the Royal Danish Ballet, and a principal dancer and choreographer for the San Francisco Ballet, has made a name for himself as an austere and charismatic dancer and a bold, innovative choreographer. The Joffrey Ballet is proud to commission these new works, being performed May 4 – 15, 2011.
Location, ticketing and info on the company's present season can be found after the fold.

Well, It's About London Pubs
Categories (An Index)

My Favourite Pubs of 2009 →
Temperance Inns
Posted on 3 September 2009 | 4 Comments
In a post last month, I tried somewhat flippantly to question what exactly a pub was by presenting a hotel bar called London Pub (fig. 54). It seems, however, that there may be more examples of when a pub is not really a pub, namely the temperance inn.
Figure 63. The Lord Roberts (Upper Woodcote CR8), now closed.
Temperance societies first sprang up in the United States in the early-19th century, finding their way soon after to Britain. The movement faltered in the middle of the century, but regained strength by the end with such groups as the Sons of Temperance Friendly Society (still in existence — its grand headquarters can be seen in London on Blackfriars Road) pushing a message that had developed from one of mere moderation to the outright prohibition of alcohol.1
One of the effects of these pressures on pubs (and on licensing magistrates) was the creation of larger, grander, apparently more cultured environments utilising the kind of decoration that can be seen in my previous post. More pubs during the early-20th century became family-friendly, offering food and games in addition to alcoholic beverages. However, at the same time, there was some pressure to create pub-like environments which dispensed with alcohol altogether. The "coffee tavern" and "temperance inn" were two such forms of this, though even at the height of the temperance movement in the early-20th century, there were never more than several hundred throughout the country.2
In London, there are still a few notable surviving buildings, such as The Lord Roberts (Upper Woodcote CR8, fig. 63), on a grand estate created by a local surveyor, William Webb. Opening in 1907, the Lord Roberts takes the form of a pub, it has a pub's name and hanging sign, and it once offered food and drink to the residents of this suburban development. However, of course, it sold no alcohol. The fact that it has long since become a post office and small store suggests that the temperance cause was not greatly profitable in this area (where, one imagines, the wealthy residents hardly had need of a tavern anyway).3
Another former temperance venue is The Walmer Castle (Marylebone W1, fig. 64), originally listed as a "coffee tavern" and later a "temperance hotel" in the historical directories. A blue plaque on this building records it as the former residence of Emma Cons, a prominent suffragist and social reformer of the 19th century, who was also responsible for reopening the Royal Victorian Theatre near Waterloo as a "Coffee and Music Hall" in 1880 (it soon after became known as the Old Vic).4
Figure 64. The Walmer Castle (Marylebone W1), now closed.
Beyond these examples, there's little evidence of the continued effectiveness of temperance at such an overt level,5 though of course political pressure continues to be exerted on what is perceived as the spectre of excessive drinking. The temperance movement may scarcely exist anymore, but it seems sometimes that it hardly needs to offer its own alternative venues, as pubs close in ever greater numbers. Still, that hasn't stopped pubs like The Temperance (Fulham SW6) from honouring the concept in name without skimping on the alcohol.
[1] Even commercial interests became aware of this public feeling, and exploited it with "temperance ales" being brewed and sold on a promise of relieving drunkenness and ruin, as seen on this poster from the National Archives.
[2] There's good discussion of the temperance movements in G. Brandwood, A. Davison and M. Slaughter, Licensed to Sell: The History and Heritage of the Public House (London: English Heritage, 2004), pp. 31-39.
[3] More about the history of the Webb Estate in Upper Woodcote can be found on the London Borough of Croydon's website.
[4] As ever, one can find out more information from the Wikipedia entry.
[5] Only one temperance inn appears to survive in the United Kingdom (the Cross Keys in Cumbria).

hey! Emma Cons founded Morley College too (starting with penny lectures in the dressing rooms of the old vic), our main hall is named after her.
Ewan M | 4 September 2009 at 10:15 am | Reply
That's true. I note that Morley also took over a former pub to house their gallery, clearly keeping up Ms Cons' good work.

There was a temperance bar next door to the barber's my dad used to take me to in Eccles, Lancashire, in the early 1960s. We even had a glass of sarsparilla or dandelion and burdock in there from time to time.
Not much of a surprise in such a hotbed of Methodism, I guess…

Can I commend the Ossington, in Newark, Nottinghamshire, as a grand example of a Temperance Hotel?

Finding a place at the Boulder breakfast table is often troublesome. Though it's not necessarily a Boulder-specific problem — the truth is that, proportionately, there aren't a lot of breakfast joints, and people like eating breakfast out. It's cheap, it's delicious and it's just to easier to order a fried egg than to make one.
So it was with open arms that we welcomed Doug's Day Diner in Boulder. Just by its existence, the diner is likely to disperse crowds from the greater Boulder County breakfast scene, while also adding its own new spin on breakfast and lunch.
Doug's is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall at Arapahoe and Folsom. Inside, it has a small seating area in front of the kitchen, and then a larger, wrap-around dining room on the side. There are a couple of TVs displaying muted news or sports, and on the radio overhead is top-40 country music. The tables and chairs are modest and wooden. The service is exceptionally friendly, accommodating and quick. It's a nice place to spend an early morning; unpretentious and comfortable.
The menu doesn't quite go full-diner. That is, it doesn't span a dozen pages, but instead concentrates kitchen offerings to a few categories: huevos rancheros, papas, "Doug's Grub" or American breakfast platters, burritos and omelets. There is clearly a bent toward Mexican fare, and there's a message from Doug at the top of the menu proclaiming that just about everything is house-made, and so that's a nice touch.
On the flip side of the menu are burgers, sand wiches and salads, which hit on a lot of diner classics. I end up with a plate of papas, huevos rancheros, a house vegetable soup and the fiesta salad.
The papas plate features a "mountain" of stripped and cooked potato peels, cheese, choice of meat (here it was adovada, or slow-roasted pork), fried eggs and green chili. It's an ordeal — in a good way. The potatoes, at first, seem tough yet still oddly hot. They're thick cut strips, which flop a little and act sort of like egg noodles and sort of like traditional hash browns. The whole plate is a lot like a scramble, and as the warmth and moisture of the chili and eggs seeps down into the potatoes, the dish comes to life. The green chili is slightly spicy but flavorful. The adovado chunks weren't as tender as one would hope, but the flavor was spot on.
Make no mistake, this was a heavy breakfast, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that. The portions on the papas and the huevos rancheros were gigantic, and if you perhaps drank too much the night before, or your plans for the day include serious napping, then you can eat the whole dish.
The huevos rancheros come with a choice of green or red chili, and are structured as is typical with tortillas, black beans, eggs and those giant strips of the potato from the papas plate. It's a satisfying, huge and sloppy rendition of the classic breakfast dish.
The vegetable soup was some variation of minestrone, with a consortium of leftover pastas, and a mix of base vegetables like carrots, peas, tomatoes and corn. It's warm and satisfying, though mostly unremarkable.
The fiesta salad was loaded with southwest ingredients like corn, black beans, tortilla strips, bell peppers, almonds, cucumbers and guacamole. You can also throw some cheese and meat on there if you want, but the core of the salad is solid enough. All the ingredients were fresh and flavorful, and the balsamic vinaigrette accompanying it was tangy and amplified the veggies in the salad.
Doug's Day Diner was always set up to succeed based on the crushing demand for breakfast joints in Boulder County. But with friendly service, a cozy atmosphere, low prices and stomachbloating breakfast plates, they probably didn't need the help.


Hackard Law regularly assists trustees and beneficiaries in disputes where breach of trust and breach of fiduciary duties are alleged against a trustee or co-trustee by a trust beneficiary.
The question that is often asked concerns what statutory remedies for a trustee or co-trustee's breach of trust apply in California probate courts? The following statute applies whether the case is in Sacramento County Probate Court, El Dorado County Probate Court, Placer County Probate Court, and Alameda County Probate Court or in any of the other 54 counties in California.
(6) Subject to Section 18100, to set aside acts of the trustee. (7) To reduce or deny compensation of the trustee.
(b) The provision of remedies for breach of trust in subdivision (a) does not prevent resort to any other appropriate remedy provided by statute or the common law.
16421. The remedies of a beneficiary against the trustee are exclusively in equity.
(1) Any loss or depreciation in value of the trust estate resulting from the breach of trust, with interest.
(2) Any profit made by the trustee through the breach of trust, with interest.
(3) Any profit that would have accrued to the trust estate if the loss of profit is the result of the breach of trust.
(b) If the trustee has acted reasonably and in good faith under the circumstances as known to the trustee, the court, in its discretion, may excuse the trustee in whole or in part from liability under subdivision (a) if it would be equitable to do so.
Whether you are an estate trustee or co-trustee accused of wrongdoing or a beneficiary suspecting wrongdoing, experienced trust litigation attorneys can assist you. The most important thing in these situations is for you to secure good counsel. The simple truth is that experience counts.


Kseniya Simonova is a Ukrainian artist who just won Ukraine's version of "America's Got Talent." She uses a giant light box, dramatic music, imagination and "sand painting" skills to interpret Germany's invasion and occupation of Ukraine during WWII.
Grabe, and galing nya! I'm soooooo amazed!!!! I haven't heard or seen anyone who did like Kseniya did. Hats off to her!!
how's your Monday? same-o-same-o for me. palengke day as usual. buti the weather is nice, hanggang bukas daw.


View a small selection of my many successful documentaries in different genres: observational, presenter-led and drama reconstructions.
Observational documentary series about compulsive hoarding where psychotherapist Stelios Kiosses and a team of professional declutterers help extreme hoarders. My programme featured a particularly severe case of compulsive hoarding and had to be produced with the upmost sensitivity. Building trust with the contributor was absolutely critical as she hadn't allowed anyone into her house for 14 years before us.
An award winning (Broadcast & RTS) twist on the hugely popular Channel 4 series. I produced five shows back to back and took programmes through the online and commentary record.
Self-shot observational series following young British people desperate to sort out their finances and get their lives back on track by undertaking some of the hardest jobs on the world. My film followed three young people as they took on tree planting in Canada. The conditions were punishing as well as battling the elements I also had to manage contributors who at times wanted to give up and go home after a few days.
Access based Obs Doc exploring life inside Britain's third busiest airport. As the senior PD I captured the daily routines of airport staff from dramatic emergency aircraft landings and the ongoing struggle to prevent birds being sucked into aircraft engines. Alongside filming I maintained professional relationships and safeguarded vital access with the numerous organisations operating on site.
A deep access documentary series following the work of the UK Boarder Force. I spent twelve months embedded at the UK's busiest sea ports and on the Force's fleet of Cutters patrolling British waters. This was a physically demanding series which required me to spend long periods at sea tracking potential smugglers and being on24 hour call to five British Ports.
Access Obs Doc series following the work of Essex Police's Motor Cycle Unit as they dealt with everything from mundane traffic offences to severe traffic collisions. This series required me to sensitively handle members of the pubic who were being filmed in stressful situations as they were being dealt with by the police.
Access Obs Doc series exploring how the NHS caters for massively obese patients. As the senior PD I was filming potentially life threatening situations as dangerously overweight patients were moved between home and hospital. It was incumbent on me to uphold patient dignity whilst preserving access with the organisations that provide these services to the NHS.
Presenter Led Documentary following renowned actor and fisherman Robson Green. From Shark infested waters to ancient Aborigine customs, Robson fished it all in Australasia. I spent a gruelling six weeks travelling across the southern hemisphere working in some of the world's most spectacular locations whilst keeping both presenter and contributors enthused.
Presenter led documentary series following ex footballer and Hollywood Tough Guy Vinnie Jones as he took on the toughest jobs in Russia. I spent five weeks filming Vinnie in some of the remotest and dangerous places on earth. Managing a well known personality in such a difficult environment was a challenging experience but one I will never forget!
Long running consumer affairs show. During my time on the series I honed my investigative journalistic skills. I exposed a commercial airline breaching flight safety regulations, local authorities selling personal information from the electoral roll, an online ticket scam and the pitfalls of mobile phone cashback schemes.
A heart wrenching documentary about two families as they struggle to deal with the devastating impact of divorce and its overwhelming effect on the lives of their children. This was an incredibly precarious access scenario working with vulnerable children, which required me to maintain a highly sensitive but professional approach to filming.
