We recently cast the Asda Xmas 2017 advert, step inside the Asda Christmas Imaginarium.
We've recently cast the new Channel 4 idents which were unveiled ahead of The Great British Bake Off 2017 final. The new brand 'idents' are designed to "personify the broadcaster's unique values" according to Channel 4. The Channel 4 Giant will feature in short clips that air between the channel's programming, and take over from the landscape-style graphics that have been running on Channel 4 since September 2015.
Thinkbox's new ad is a tongue-in-cheek homage to classic science fiction films but with a very British flavour. It opens high above the Earth as a fleet of alien spaceships bear down on our planet. Their warlike-looking leader punches a button on his console and addresses the people below via live TV. His sudden appearance on TV screens everywhere, repeating the message "Oola Oola Zod", galvanises the nation into a range of responses as varied as humanity itself; from blind panic and shock, to awe and unbridled enthusiasm.
Director: The Bobbsey twins
Meet the new modern-day OXO family as they go about their busy daily lives. In this advert the OXO dad steps in to do some emergency cooking for some unexpected dinner guests.
Director: Declan Lowney
TV chef James Martin appears as Asda's new frontman. In this advert Martin relaxes in the garden before being surprised with the news that hordes of people are coming round for a BBQ. He heads to Asda to pick up ingredients and whips up a feast.
Director: Jim Gilchrist
HSL's commercial features 'Linda', 'Ray', 'Sue', 'Basil' and 'Eileen' given a new lease of life by their new range of handcrafted, tailored furniture.
Director: Adam Johnson
Morrisons has unveiled its Christmas advert with a song that chief executive Dalton Philips hopes the "nation will be singing". The upbeat Christmas spot sees the return of brand ambassadors Ant and Dec who form part of a "picture book" of scenes showing families enjoying Christmas traditions while they all take a line of the song "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". Boy band Union J has also recorded a version of the track, which will appear on the B-Side of their new single.
The campaign, which introduces the new strapline "More of what matters", sees the Britain's Got Talent hosts interacting with Morrisons' specialist employees. We see Morrisons Jarrow Fishmonger, Dan Parr guiding the celebrity entertainers through the real journeys of the fish and skillfully demonstrating his expertise in preparing the catch for customers.
Director: Finn McGough
The Co-operative is asking consumers to "Join the Revolution" in its latest TV campaign, and cement itself as one of the UK's most socially responsible businesses. The advert describes the first successful retail co-operative, which launched in 1844, and provides guidance on how people can set up their own co-operative businesses.
Director: Luke Scott
Featuring a re-working of James Brown's "I Feel Good" as if played by a school orchestra, the KFC "Mouths" commercial shows several curious children exploring their taste for adventure trying foods like pepper, lemons and dog biscuits. The advert ends with the group enjoying KFC's Dippin' Feast and highlights the brand's new sweet chili dip.
Director: Adam Saward
Heinz "Jack" advert plays on the Jack and the Beanstalk story and promotes the message that three tablespoons of Heinz Beanz contain one of your five-a-day. Since airing, the advert has scored highly in a leading survey which measures the percentage of viewers who can remember the storyline or brand of an advert within 24 hours of viewing it.
Director: Jim Field Smith
Manchester United and England footballing legend Sir Bobby Charlton is the star of this advertising campaign from Actimel to show how drinking one bottle every day can support the body's immune system. Even at the age of 70, Sir Bobby is still an inspiration to the nation and a natural choice to encourage older consumers to live healthier, happier lives.
Director: Ron Scalpello
The BHF's advert urges overweight Britons to get physical and exercise for 30 minutes a day. The advert was prompted by the results of a survey that claims only 38% of respondents would be motivated to do more exercise if their life depended on it. The campaign was supported by an interactive website, a podcast and a free motivational text message service.
Director: Christophe Navarre
Calpol's "Shark" advert plays with the vivid imagination of young children and the perils they face in their imaginary worlds. With a voiceover done in a mock-documentary style we hear about Louise Harmons struggle in shark infested waters. Her adventure is disturbed when she gets a fever and her mum is seen coming to the rescue with Calprofen.
Director: Jesper Hiro
The second ad in the Morrisons Ant and Dec hosted campaign sees the pair meeting Morrisons butcher Antony Ward, who introduces them to some traditional British breeds of cattle, and Trojan the bull in particular. The campaign forms part of a partnership between Morrisons and ITV, including the sponsorship of its Saturday night primetime shows.
Sir Michael Gambon provides the voiceover for this advert from HSBC as part of their "Sale" campaign. To illustrate the bank's mortgage deals, the voiceover describes the strange custom, in certain parts of Yorkshire, that it is thought to bring good luck if you lead a horse through a new house.
Director: Mark Denton
Shot in the same mock-documentary style as "Shark", Calpol's "Tent" advert introduces us to young mountaineers, Oscar and Amy. We see them sheltering in their basecamp as an 'avalanche' slams into their tent. After being given Calprofen for headache, we are shown the pair attempting to reach the summit of the first floor landing.
We've worked on two adverts for Oreo's, in "First You Twist It", a British reworking of a popular US commercial, a young boy describes Oreo etiquette to his dog. In the second advert for the brand, " Brothers and Sisters", a girl instructs her cheeky younger brother how to eat an Oreo.
Director: Stephen Campbell
Santander picked the town of Shrewsbury as the location for its national TV advert to promote it's 123 current account. Hundreds of local people took part in a three-day banking challenge in the town square. Santander staff from the town's two branches demonstrate the savings, cashback and interest available to those who sign up to the account.
In "Reason 98: Trolley Wipes", one of the stores "More reasons to shop at Morrisons" commercials, a young boy looks on in horror at the wet trolley seat he is about to be placed in. Dad, however, pulls a trolley wipe from one of the provided dispensers and drys the seat before placing his happy son in it. All the adverts in the campaign are voiced by actor Sean Bean.
Director: Alan Friel
King.com is a worldwide leader in casual social games with over 40 million monthly players and more than 3 billion games played per month globally. With more than 15 million daily users, it's game Candy Crush Saga has recently overtaken the likes of Angry Birds and Farmville to become one of the most popular games on Facebook.
Directors: Pat Holden, Carrie Hart
As part of NatWest's ongoing "Helpful Banking means..." campaign, the advert promotes the bank's Personal Mortgage Advisor services. The commercial also points out that the bank has won Your Mortgage Magazine's "Best Bank for Mortgages" award 17 times in the last 21 years, more than any other lender.
Director: Marc Evans
John Smiths "No Nonsense" Landlord proved a successful series of adverts. Following the first "Hands Free", others followed including "Rubbish Rugs", "Daytime Tv" and "Teeth", in which the Landlord tells a joke and is disturbed by the appearance of one of the pub regulars teeth. The Landlord also featured in John Smiths idents for Channel 4 Racing.
Director: Ben Tongue
In addition to the three commercials for Morrisons shown on our portfolio, we also cast several others including "Street Express", "Fish Crowd" and "First Home Dinner". In "Reason 156: Pie Race" furtive looking shoppers are shown in various situations trying to disguise the fact that they are waiting for the baker to ring the bell for freshly cooked pies.
Bernard Matthews, first coined the phrase 'bootiful' as part of an iconic TV advertising campaign in the early 80's. Nearly 200 people, in the vast Manchester Arena, became part of the revival of one of the most iconic and memorable catch phrases in advertising history. Participants included mums, dads, children, a choir and even a full orchestra.
Director: Theo Delaney
The 40 second TV ad to promote Nimble, Hovis's low-calorie bread shows a workman on a building site who can't understand why he's losing weight. The perplexed builder is seen carrying a window pane, drilling, and tripping while carrying a toilet and trying to hitch his trousers back up. Back at home he reads the side of the bread and the penny finally drops.
Director: Sam Cadman
The Co-operative pioneered national TV advertising for the funeral industry in 2009. As the UK's leading funeral director, this new Funeralcare advert describes how people would like to personalise and arrange their own funeral, from the music, to flowers, food and transport.
Director: Ewan Brown
This commercial features football and style icon David Beckham alongside Rugby World Cup hero Jonny Wilkinson practising kicking and trying each others rather different sports. The advert, first shown in 2004, has since gone viral on the internet and was voted as one of the best 50 adverts of that year.
Director: Chris Palmer
With a voiceover by John Hannah, The Co-operative's 'Truly Irresistible' advert is a relaunch of its premium range, with the addition of 50 new products and a new look logo and branding. The advert features the family from The Co-operative's 'Passionate Plea' campaign, sitting down to eat what looks like a restaurant-quality three-course meal.
Taking over the "No Nonsense" marketing campaign from Jack Dee, Peter Kay starred in a number of adverts for John Smiths Bitter. The campaign won over fifty advertising and marketing awards, making it the sixth most awarded advertising campaign in the world. It also spawned a string of catchphrases that captured the public imagination.
Director: Daniel Kleinman
Following the highly successful campaign featuring Peter Kay, John Smiths created a new comic character with the catchphrase "Y're Barred". The Landlord of the Level Head pub, played by Peter Gunn, continues the brands "No Nonsense" message in a series of adverts, the first of which is "Hands Free" which shows the Landlord's disdain for "bleeping gadgets".
Manufactured by US company Kraft, Alpen Gold is one of the best-selling chocolate brands in Russia and Eastern Europe. The tongue in cheek "Kitten" advert, produced for the Russian market, shows an attractive young woman woman braving a thunderstorm to rescue a stray kitten.
Director: Pat Holden
Following the previous successful Actimel campaign, in which various characters were filmed on spy-cams engaging in wild antics after having tasted 'the difference', the next campaign continues with a similiar theme. We meet "Jake", the young boy who's crushingly embarrassed by his parent's exuberant, jaunty transformation upon drinking Actimel.
Director: John Birkin
NatWest remind customers about their 14-point Customer Charter which guarantees the levels of service they can expect, including a promise to reduce queues for its busiest branches and extend branch hours. The charter was drawn up after consultations with customers and advertised with a national campaign pushing the "helpful banking" message.
The "More reasons to shop at Morrisons" campaign was launched following Morrisons' acquisition of rival supermarket Safeway. In "Reason 26: Cooked Meats" a cute toddler watches on in frustration as his father struggles to decide what to buy from the wide array of cooked meats.
We cast two adverts for McDonalds to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the company's introduction to the UK. Both adverts feature the same police and criminal characters. In "Face Off", one of the criminals is left in the lurch by his accomplices, in the second, one of the policeman is left by his colleagues to face the criminals. Voiceover is provided by Matt Berry.

Gigantic coal, oil and gas projects from around the world that, if they go ahead, will raise global emissions and cause dangerous climate change. In this series of interactive documentaries, Guardian journalists investigate five of these dirty energy projects and meet the people who live amongst them.
Around 27bn tonnes of coal are thought to be locked under the ground of the Galilee Basin in the outback of Queensland. A huge proposed complex of coal mines is planned here, including the world's largest thermal coal project. So are railway lines and a massive expansion of the Abbot Point port on the Great Barrier Reef. What will this mean for the Aboriginal community, the Great Barrier Reef and the world's climate?


I am "firing" one of my customers for being constantly late on their annual monitoring payment. I no longer have the desire to keep chasing them for a couple hundred bucks every year. I have called and left messages with no response. I recently sent a certified, return receipt requested cancellation telling my customer that I am canceling their monitoring effective November 1st, 2013. The post office left a notice at their house since there was apparently no one home to sign for the letter.
They have 15 days to sign for the letter at the post office before the post office returns it to me as undeliverable. Have I done everything I need to do in order to legally terminate their monitoring with no liability past November 1st?
We have a client who wants to cancel our services and our current contract of the 5 years they only signed a year ago. We have the All in One contract with you and was wondering your thoughts and how we should go about it.
I am just wondering from a legal stand point what exactly we are entitled to and how we should handle it. After reading the contract I think I understand it and am not sure how to respond to his request. Please get back to me with your thoughts and thanks.
Two sides of the coin. One alarm co who wants to dump its subscriber - a late payor, and the other alarm co whose subscriber wants to cancel service before completing the 5 year contract.
Terminating your subscriber can be tricky. First, make sure your subscriber is not paid up. I've had many clients turn over collection cases before the sub actually went into default. If your sub gives notice it wants to cancel check to see what payments were made and when the next payment is due. Wait until then to default the sub.
When you decide to default the sub make sure you read your contract carefully. If you have any of my Standard Form Contracts you aren't going to find a requirement for certified mail. As you can see from the first question above, the termination notice isn't going to be read by the sub. Fax or email, even ordinary mail, would have been better communication and alot cheaper and less trouble. Even though the contract may not require notice of termination it's a good idea to give it. When terminating be sure to set a date and time for termination of service, and be sure to cancel at that time. Leave no room for continuation of service once you send the termination notice. If that sub wants service you;ll have to either rescind the notice or enter into a new contract, which is preferable.
Your contract will give you the option of terminating the subscriber for various reasons. If you're terminating the sub then you must have a reason; late payment or excessive service are probably the most common reasons. Hold the sub in default for non payment, assuming that is the case. No notice is required and no cure period is built into the terms of the contract.
Your sub notifies you that it is canceling. Aside from simple good business practices which would be trying to find out why the sub is canceling, you should send the sub a letter - email, fax or ordinary mail - that sub is under contract and you intend to hold sub to the contract. There should be no misunderstanding. One large alarm client had customer department that would get a cancellation call and simply take in the information, giving the sub the impression that it was OK to terminate and that there would be no repercussions. Days later we would start a collection action. Many settled quickly with reinstatement of the contract. Sending the sub an invoice for the balance of the contract and whatever damages are owed under the contract is another measure you should take almost immediately upon getting notice of cancellation. The sooner the sub understands what the contract obligations are the better chance you have of reinstating the account or quickly settling the balance under the contract.
If you're in NY or NJ our collection department can assist. Give us a call. Contact Gene Rosen, Esq at 516 747 6700 x 303 or GRosen@KirschenbaumEsq.com, or give me a call.

A woman has pledged to set up a mobile dementia support van - dubbed the "Annie van" — in memory of her mother in an effort to help more families.

Annie Flaherty, who had vascular dementia, was a much-loved mother, wife, grandmother and was a highly skilled theatre nurse and talented dancer.
The 77-year-old spent the last two weeks of her life at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital (NNUH) and received support from the Dementia Support Team, nursing staff and palliative care before her death in January.
Her daughter, Nicola King, from Long Stratton, said their experience of the NHS, from first responders to A&E and ward staff at the NNUH who looked after Annie, had inspired her to start fundraising to help.
Nicola, who's both parents had dementia, said she wanted to give something back by establishing a mobile carers' information service - which she has named the "Annie van".
She said she would never forget the care her mum received on Langley ward and from the Dementia Support Team who tailored activities to Annie's interests such as playing her favourite music.
"From the moment mum was admitted, she got her identity back, she was Annie again. They saw past the illness she had and they just saw her," she said.
"We were always treated with respect and understanding at NNUH and so was my mum. The staff were exactly the kind of people that my mum would have wanted to care for her. Everyone deserves the help and care from a dementia team like the one here."
"It was the continuity of care that impressed us - they were never too busy and nothing was ever too much trouble and the ward staff were exactly the same."
The fourth National Audit of Dementia recently ranked the NNUH top in two out of seven categories for nutrition and for the way it is governed to meet the needs of patients with dementia.
The audit, commissioned by NHS Improvement and NHS England and managed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, looked at hospital data as well as speaking to NNUH staff and carers.
Liz Yaxley, Dementia Services Manager at NNUH, said: "This is fantastic news which shows the commitment of all our staff to providing the best possible care and support for patients living with dementia."

Q: Do more followers act the same as a multiplayer game?
Possible Duplicate:
Do I earn less experience or items if I have a follower?

In Diablo 3, when you are playing with more people online, the monsters are harder to kill. Does the same logic follow during single player action?
I am currently using the Witch Doctor class, I have a templar following me, 3 rabid dogs out helping during battle and sometimes get a quest where someone else joins me for a little while.

A: No, the AI followers do not make the game more difficult. Only other players. This is because the followers, even if well equipped, cannot provide the damage another player could.

A: Only other players affect the monsters in a game. The followers do not count towards increasing their HP, stats, etc...
If you notice when someone joins your game, it states "The monsters of hell grow stronger." This does not happen when you recruit a follower.

His Royal Spine-ness! Prince Charles adopts three baby HEDGEHOGS to keep down slugs at Dumfries House
One male and two female hedgehogs have been taken in by Prince Charles
The hedgehogs have taken up residence the Queen Elizabeth Walled Garden
Staff are hoping the animals will lead to a breeding boom of Royal hoglets
By Henry Martin For Mailonline
Prince Charles has adopted three baby hedgehogs at Dumfries House.
Staff at the Ayrshire estate are hoping the animals – two females and one male – will lead to a breeding boom of Royal hoglets, partly to keep down slugs and other pests in the prince's treasured organic gardens.
The hedgehogs, believed to be four months old, have taken up residence in the estate's five-acre Queen Elizabeth Walled Garden after being nursed back to a healthy weight by volunteers from Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Centre.
Charles, as patron of the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, has led the fightback against that animal's demise, but has now turned his attention to another of the country's threatened native mammals.
Julie Dougall, an educational gardener based in the organic-certified Kauffman Education Garden at Dumfries House, said the new arrivals enriched the biodiversity of the estate.

Charles, as patron of the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, has led the fightback against that animal's demise, but has now turned his attention to another of the country's threatened native mammals
She said: 'I just think it's great to get as much wildlife into the estate as we can, and we became aware that Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue, a brilliant Ayrshire charity, were looking to rehome some hedgehogs.
'We welcomed one male and two female hedgehogs earlier this month, and I'm sure they'll be great for the education of children we typically have here on the estate, particularly when they're learning about the food cycle.
'We're trying to bring a biodiversity of wildlife back into the estate. If the hedgehogs breed, great. The more, the better!
'It would be excellent for the species and for the estate. The education garden is organic and they're basically a pesticide that doesn't harm the soil, taking care of bugs, slugs, and snails.'
One of the new custom-built hedgehog homes. Volunteer Tom Anderson, from Mauchline, has constructed bijou, customised hedgehog houses for the new residents by upcycling timber found on the estate
The estate values its volunteers from the local community, one of whom, Tom Anderson from Mauchline, has constructed bijou, customised hedgehog houses for the new residents by upcycling timber found on the estate.
The mild weather has delayed the start of hibernation, meaning many more hedgehogs have been handed in to Hessilhead volunteers in recent weeks.
Dumfries House, the stately home saved for the nation by Charles – and where The Prince's Foundation is now headquartered – may rehome more and plans to involve children in the surrounding community in the naming of its new arrivals.
'We'd love to give more hedgehogs and other rescued wildlife a home on the estate,' says Ms Dougall. 'It would be good to allow schoolchildren to name our new residents, as it brings them closer to the estate and helps them become involved.'
How hedgehog numbers have plummeted from 30 million to less than one million in 70 years
Hedgehogs give birth in June and July, and they have an average litter size of four or five young, but can have up to seven. However, they usually only wean two or three successfully. The mother is liable to desert or even eat hoglets if she is disturbed.
Over winter, most hedgehogs will be hibernating. They may wake a little during their hibernation, but will remain inactive unless disturbed or when the weather has turned extremely mild.
The UK was home to more than 30 million hedgehogs in the 1950s but, today, it's estimated that there is less than a million left.
Hedgehog populations in rural areas have halved this century and fallen by 30% in towns and cities, with the population believed to have declined by more than 90% since WW2.
The inclusion earlier this year of the hedgehog in the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List for British Mammals was not a surprise the British Hedgehog Preservation Society (BHPS).
The campaign Hedgehog Street – which BHPS runs in partnership with People's Trust for Endangered Species – encourages people to connect gardens with small 13cm square holes.
'What people do on behalf of the hedgehog is amazing,' said Fay Vass, CEO of the BHPS. 'The holes made in fences, the feeding, the hedgehog houses, the wildlife friendly planting, the removal of hazards – all makes such a difference locally.
'But it is not enough to rely on the good will of individuals to protect this important creature.
'We need Government to enforce wildlife friendly practices. From farming to development to transport – wildlife needs to be taken seriously.'
The BHPS is calling on Government, in the light of the new internationally recognised classification, to increase the protection offered to the hedgehog under the Wildlife and Countryside Act by moving it to schedule 5, allowing the level of protection appropriate for such a keystone species in decline.

Stacey Keating braved scorching hot temperatures at Oatlands today to shoot a 6 under par 66, and take a two shot lead into tomorrow's second and final round of the Bing Lee Fujitsu ALPG Pro-am.
Keating played in the morning wave of players who had to contend with heatwave temperatures in the low 40's, until a line of thunderstorms rolled in around 3pm causing the afternoon groups to be delayed by approximately 45 minutes.
Keating, the 2012 French and Spanish Open Champion started the day in style with a birdie at the first, an eagle at the fourth, and birdies at the sixth, eighth and ninth holes to turn in 6 under par 30. The back nine at Oatlands is always the tougher of the two nines, Keating balanced out bogeys at the twelfth and the seventeenth with birdies at the fifteenth and eighteenth holes to sign for a 66.
Keating, who has competed in the Bing Lee Fujitsu NSW Women's Open on nine occasions has plenty of experience around the demanding Oatlands layout, and was delighted with her opening round today.
Two shots behind Keating are local favorite Lauren Hibbert and LPGA star Sarah Kemp, who both shot 4 under par rounds of 68. Victorian Grace Lennon and Frenchwoman Justine Dreher are a further shot back in fourth place at 3 under par.
The second and final round will start tomorrow morning at Oatlands Golf Club from 7:30am.


Mongolian economy has traditionally been centered two main sectors which are agriculture and mining like most developing countries.
Generally Mongolian agriculture has been slowly developed. Agriculture is based on about thirty eight percent of Mongolian economy, and also it is one of the main Mongolian cultural parts. Ninety-five percent of Mongolian lands are used for pasture land. Mongolian people in countryside are nomadic herders which mean they follow their livestock pasture land. Agriculture is practiced to a limited space in Mongolia, focusing generally on wheat and potatoes, and beverages. Actually before agriculture was a smaller than nowadays, but critical sector of the Mongolian economy in the early 1980's. In 1985, agriculture accounted for over 17.4 percent of national income, and 27.6 percent of the labor force. However, agriculture stayed economically important part, because the most of Mongolian industry processed agricultural products, food, and animal products, including hides and skins for export. In 1986, agriculture supplied over 57 percent of Mongolian exports. Agricultural sector depends on the weather conditions. For the winter, Mongolian climate has a large temperature range reached minus thirty degrees Celsius, and summer temperatures thirty two degrees Celsius. In the summer time, it has become drought lately, and brought on the lack of pasture lands, and in the winter, brought on huge amounts of snow that resulted in the death of many million livestock.
In my opinion, with the purpose of increase productivity by farmers and herdsman, and the best thing that we can do is to create benefit policies which are a markets organization for their products, and also giving them who are farmers and herdsman benefits include health insurance, life insurance, a dental plan and any discount that something needed for their life. Performing increased fruitfully is easy, the government just can give the herders and farmers more livestock, and they have experiences of tradition knowledge what to do with it. And also a current issue of major importance in the agricultural sector of herders and farmers management: The need to apply advances in Information Technology to improve their management. The Governments and some companies could support trading with the official economy. Maybe, if the people implicated in the poor economy look at that the official economy is making well, they will change around. The end of this not acting officially economy in Mongolia, it would bring so much unseen income of the government to the official economy. As though this thing is going on in Mongolia, Mongolians usually work hard to make better life. They do not have enough money spending for the food, clothes, rent, and some staffs, and climate in Mongolia is very hard, but Mongolians are strong people.
The Mining sector is one of the biggest sectors to economy in Mongolia. For last five years, Mining sector in Mongolia has been attending deeply in the world. Mongolia is rich for the mineral resources and exploitation to its economy, so Mongolia is experiencing a deep in its mining sector, which brings new opportunities as well as major challenges. The Mining is continuing to rise as a major industry of Mongolia as supported by the number of Chinese, Russian and Canadian companies, which are starting mining businesses in Mongolia. By the late 1980's, mining was an important sector of the economy, and accounted for 42.6 % of exports in 1985. As the world searches for natural resources, the focus centers on Mongolia, because Mongolia has known deposits of over 80 types of minerals, and currently produces about 90 minerals including silver, copper, gold, and coal. Mongolia is a major exporter of copper and coal as well as a leading world producer. Until the late 1960's, mining in Mongolia consisted mostly of coal.
The importance of mining is definitely significant to Mongolia. Mining is an important industry, and Mongolians are very advanced in their mining technology, but during the mining process, there is a certain level of pollution produced. The Mongolian government and the mining companies have very good plans and controls toward this problem, while ensuring the smooth running of the industry, and which also helps to create strong economy and employment. The world of today could not exist without mineral products. Mongolia produces about 60 minerals and ranks first among producing countries. As well, Mongolia is one of the largest exporters of minerals, with more than 20 % of its production shipped to world markets. In a typical year, the mining industry is responsible for almost 20 % of Mongolia's total export earnings. As for the employment rate, over 5 % of the mines are owned by Mongolians and approximately 32,000 Mongolians are directly employed in the mining industry, but there are some issues with employees who are working in Mining Sector including productivity, training, and diversity etc. Productivity is a common struggle for most mining sector because of some Mongolian people who do not work well, and just taking their time. That is why in the workplace, the foreign companies prefer their own employees who can constantly make sure that they are getting enough of the needed kinds of work completed so that the business is running efficiently in order to be profitable. If the company has employees who are not pulling their weight, it decreases productivity that can decrease profitability.
Training is a necessary component of employee development, and training is needed in virtually every business and industry as well. Some training is on the job, while other types may involve the company sending employees for outside training paid for by the business. At the moment, basically companies require people who are deeply trained in the mining sector. Mongolian people are just practicing in the mining sector, and they do not have enough experience with it. (Diversity) Lately, sometimes the foreign employers and Mongolian employers discriminate to each other in the workplace. Actually, they must adhere to hiring, promotion and termination practices that don't discriminate against people of different races, ages or sexual orientations. Laws are clear that workplace discrimination won't be tolerated. The mining sector plays the main role in the industrial development of the country. From the statistics, for the past decade, the Mongolian mining industry has been progressing by 4% every year. Mining is very important in Mongolian life. Not only do the products power the family car and heat the family home, the manufacturing sector, the high tech industries and even the better known resource industries are all dependent, in some way, on the mining industry. The mining industry will continue to be an important support to the economy. If the mining sector develops in the right way, this would have a positive impact on the development of the Mongolian economy. If mining develops the wrong way, it will bring collapse to the ecological and natural systems of the country. If the mining sector develops in the right way, I hope this sector will be running smoothly and bringing in money to create a good economic future.
Since the economic reform of the 1990s, the Mongolian Government has gradually privatized the mining sector. Mineral exploration was hampered by limited infrastructure, such as a shortage of roads and water resources, and severe weather in Mongolia. During the past several years, however, economic and governmental reforms have led to increased foreign investment in mineral exploration. Mining opens opportunities for formal and informal employment for many people, especially in agricultural sector. Mongolians have currently opened at their historic moment which has waited for a long time Oyu Tolgoi's (Canadian and Mongolian Co-Mining Company) Investment Agreement, expecting that this agreement will have a strongly effective on all aspects of the Mongolian economy. It means which is guaranteed by the Mongolian Government to send an extremely signal to investors who are investing for Mongolia that the country is now open for anyone who wants to enterprise. The Economy of Mongolia looks bright, and we are just starting a new chapter in their history, I only hope that Mongolian economic will make the right reforms for its economical growth to make sure the issues of Oyu Tolgoi's (Canadian and Mongolian Co-Mining Company) Investment Agreement continues to keep making the recently opportunities.

Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (Detroit, 18 september 1974), beter bekend onder zijn pseudoniem Xzibit, is een Amerikaanse hiphop artiest, tekstschrijver, acteur en televisiepersoonlijkheid. Hiernaast is hij eveneens bekend vanwege het presenteren van de MTV show Pimp My Ride en zijn Yo Dawg internetmeme.

Biografie
Joiner werd opgevoed door een alleenstaande moeder; zij overleed toen hij 9 jaar was. Onder andere het nummer Missin U is aan haar opgedragen.

Joiner scoorde zijn eerste hit in 1996 met Paparazzi, optredend als 'Xzibit'. Zijn echte doorbraak volgde pas in 2000 met zijn derde soloalbum Restless, met onder andere de hits X en Front to back. Tot nu toe bracht Xzibit zes albums uit. Het eerste album was At The Speed Of Life in 1996 met onder andere de hit Paparazzi. Daarop volgde twee jaar later zijn tweede solo-album 40 Dayz 40 Nightz. Op zijn derde solo-album Restless staan toevoegingen van Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Nate Dogg, en het Golden State Project waar Xzibit toentertijd aan deelnam. In 2002 verscheen een vierde album: Man vs. Machine, met opnieuw toevoegingen van Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem en Nate Dogg. In 2004 volgde Weapons Of Mass Destruction, met een intro waarin president Bush allemaal oorlogsmisdaden bekent (He's the dictator who was addicted to weapons of mass destruction...that traitor is me...). In oktober 2006 verscheen het album Full Circle.

In 2004 begon Xzibit met de presentatie van het programma Pimp My Ride.

Joiner richtte in 2004 de rapgroep Strong Arm Steady op. Op onder meer het album Weapons Of Mass Destruction waren nummers van Strong Arm Steady te vinden.

Joiner nam in 2007 deel aan Gumball 3000, een internationale autorace over openbare wegen. De Nederlandse politie nam op 30 april zijn rijbewijs in nadat hij 160 km/u had gereden waar 100 km/u toegestaan was. Hij zei tegen de politie dat hij in de war was met miles en kilometers, omdat er op zijn auto geen km/u is maar m/u dus reed hij 100 mijl per uur.

Naast muziek bouwde Joiner ook een acteercarrière op; hij speelde onder meer in de films XXX: State of the Union, Hoodwinked en Derailed. Verder was Joiner in de serie Empire te zien als de rapper Shine; dit personage, naar eigen zeggen "100% wolf, 100% gangsta", speelde hij in seizoen 2, 3 en 4.

Persoonlijk leven
Joiner heeft uit verschillende relaties twee zoons: Tremaine (1993) en de jonggestorven Xavier Kingston (15 - 26 mei 2008)

Eclipse... was a good read - very intense in parts, violent in others - and had me staying way too late in the evening when I had to get up early for work the next morning... I couldn't just put it down to finish tomorrow.
Eclipse 2 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 1 reviews.
Was a pretty good read. I enjoyed the whole psychological aspect of the book. Definitely could have done without the author's constant obsession with homosexuality, though. This is why I rated it quite low.

Rio Lobo Movie Review
by Chris McEneany May 21, 2011
Rio Lobo Movie (1970)
The Wells Fargo stage broke through Indian Country and got a precious hoard to me. In one terrific fell-swoop, I received a Western overload that comprised John Wayne in Big Jake, Richard Harris in A Man Called Horse, Joel McCrea in the brutal Fort Massacre, the magnificent Once Upon A Time In The West (which, let's face it, we've all been waiting for) and, of course, this … John Wayne in Rio Lobo. A rootin'-tootin' time is pretty much guaranteed, I'm sure you'll agree.
But, it seems that you have to take the rough with the smooth, don't you? Even the Duke would have to admit that some of the trails he travelled were less than memorable than others. And, that when it comes down to it, some of them were really quite wretched.
In 1970, John Wayne re-teamed with the once great Howard Hawks – both of whom had attained magnificent success with Red River and Rio Bravo in the past, with Hawks being the star's next most famous director after John Ford – to make Rio Lobo, a distinct throwback Western that pitched Wayne as an ex-Union officer hell-bent on tracking down the treasonous spies that had been selling information to the enemy during the war … information that had cost the North a fortune in gold supplies and resulted in the death of a close friend. Once the war has ended he allies himself with a couple of the Confederates who had been using this intelligence to pull-off some daring train robberies, and he finds himself drifting back down south to Texas to hunt these loose-lipped double-agents.
By now Wayne was heavily into his relaxed cinematic mode, but he is still visibly tired as Colonel Cord McNally, the soldier who puts aside his war-time differences and enlists the aid of Jorge Rivero's Southern Capt. Pierre Cordona and his indefinably and irritatingly "nice" Sgt. Tuscorora Philips, played by Chris Mitchum. Down in the little town of Rio Lobo, they discover that their quarry, Victor French's vile Ketchum, is now busy oppressing the dusty hamlet in that petty tyrannical style so beloved of many an A-Team villain. He's leaning on Philips' old Pop, played with eye-bulging aplomb by Jack Elam, with extortion and blackmail and other nefarious schemes up his sleeve so that he can snaffle the rancher's land from him, so the repatriated civvies have now found themselves something of a crusade to go on. It's time for some good old justice to be meted out. After all, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Even if it seems as though that man has actually done it a hundred times before already.
The film is thematically linked to both Hawks' earlier Rio Bravo and El Dorado, and all three were scribed by Leigh Brackett, who concocted this one together with Burton Wohl, developed from Wohl's story. The old Hawksian template is adhered to, with various mismatched and disparate individuals having to band together to overcome an obstacle or, in this case, to work towards a collective goal. Once again, we end up with a leading heavy held in the jail by the good guys who are trying to last out until the cavalry arrives. Women figure quite heavily, not least in the luscious brunette form of Jennifer O' Neill's embittered Shasta Delaney, who is seeking revenge on Ketchum and his boys for the murder of her tonic remedy business partner. Susana Dosamantes makes for an appealing local under the rule of corrupt and murderous Sheriff Hendricks (Clint Walker lookalike, Mike Henry). And even future Hollywood exec Sherry Lansing gets in on the act as the feisty and voluptuous Amelita, another lady on the receiving end of the mob's sadistic reign of terror.
After a series of tit-for-tat raids and kidnappings, the whole shebang naturally culminates in a big bad shoot-out. Scores are settled and wrongs are put right.
Sadly, though, the film is a godawful mess. Tepid, contrived, extremely poorly written by Brackett (which is massively unusual for the woman who penned 1946's The Big Sleep and both of Hawks' earlier incarnations of the story) and hauled even deeper into the morass of ignominy by the appalling performances of Rivero and O' Neill. Although loosely related to the lorded style of Rio Bravo and El Dorado, the directorial panache and wisecracking chemistry and sheer exuberance of those two classics is nowhere to be seen here, and the Hawks of this uninspiring low-rent drivel is most certainly not the same man who could marshal such big name ensemble alchemy. Of course, both he and Wayne were older now. You could hardly expect the same old verbal fireworks or the same dynamic exchanges and confrontations to bounce off the screen. But the mood should have been cosily familiar, as opposed to being just a bag of stale old clichés, spilling over with bland contrivance. Under such lazy direction, Wayne abuses the power of his own character and reduces Cord to an ever-smiling, totally amiable waste of space. Even when captured by the Rebels under Cordona in the lengthy opening act, he is just too damn agreeable with them. They are the enemy, for God's sake! These guys have just caused him and his company a lot of grief … and they've broken the neck of his loyal subordinate and friend too. Mind you, they treat their captive like an old friend – all smiles and soft banter. This becomes the general tone of the film at large. Various miscreants are encountered, even the normally redoubtable Jack Elam, who by this stage has turned his sinister roguery to comedy, gets to chew the scenery with decided relish, but the lack of proper menace makes it a deadly dull affair that suffers from little forward momentum and utterly no sense of proper jeopardy or tension.
This is compounded when McNally and his unlikely team lay siege to Ketchum's place. One by one, they take out the guards and leave them unconscious beside their weapons instead of taking the guns with them. And then, during a later confrontation, the good Colonel orders the baddies to drop their guns and move off down the street. He and his crew then hole up in the jail leaving the pile of handy firepower on the boardwalk outside! Eh? Oh, and how about this – as they head off to the final showdown, McNally spies his trusty Winchester in the saddle-holster of his horse and simply throws his other rifle to the floor and walks off leaving it there … for any passing bad guy to pick up! I know that both the Duke and Hawks are old and forgetful, but this sort of thing is just ridiculous.
There is a weird opening title sequence which allows us to see Jerry Goldsmith's whimsical guitar elegy actually being played in close-up by a pair of unidentified hands. This nostalgic pastoral seems to have blundered in from a different film entirely. It is almost arty, which I am not complaining about, but the effect is completely at-odds with the rest of the film. The title theme that Goldsmith composes is beautiful, light and sentimental, almost like something that Elmer Bernstein would have crafted for a rustic period melodrama, the gentle mood evocative of a story about the passing of a way of life, or even, say, a swell theme for Wayne's own swansong, The Shootist – yet this is absolutely diametrically opposed to the film itself, which is, on the surface, full of shoot-outs and villains and humorous banter. But, as you would expect from the master, he is then able to develop variations on this theme that spot the rest of the movie with a pleasant, though very sixties vibe. Having said this, the rest of his score, as buoyant as it is, is actually quite weak and by-the-numbers for the acclaimed tunesmith which, in itself, is something of a shocker. This was around the time that he would create the score for The Wild Rovers, itself an unusually gentle Western, and One Little Indian which remains an absolute classic for yet another rather offbeat oater – the CD of that score is reviewed separately. Goldsmith, as many of you will already know, is my favourite composer of all time, and I have to say that, beyond Rio Lobo I can't think of a score of his that I've admired less. It just doesn't seem to fit Hawks' film at all.
The opening act, detailing in a protracted and largely unexciting manner the Confederates performing their daring train-heist of Union bullion is chock-full of horrible lines as both forces scurry about, issuing orders to their troops and dropping name and rank into almost every sentence. Too much time is spent conveying messages relayed over the telegraph – which is perhaps an unwitting metaphor for the Duke's sleepwalking performance – and when the action comes it is half-hearted and contemptible, despite being coordinated by the great Yakima Canutt, who handled all the 2nd Unit action for Hawks. Lots of people jumping from a thundering carriage was simply not exciting any more, and just how many trees had the Rebels roped-in to their speed-trap? It looks like about three miles' worth! Wayne, however, still looks mighty fine in his full-on Cavalry uniform as he rides at the head of the rescue column … it is just too bad that he ditches it for his more conventional waistcoat and trademark blue, red or salmon-pink shirts once the war is forgotten about and the story heads down to Texas.
It is nice to see some favourite old genre faces cropping up, such as Wayne regular Hank (The Searchers) Wordern, Dallas' Jim Davis, and the garrulous Southern tsunami of David Huddleston in the typically bluff 'n' bluster role of the town dentist, and chief of exposition. On the downside, Huddleston's very familiar presence is also one of the elements that makes you think you are watching a TV movie. William H. Clothier puts his customary mark on the picture with some reasonably fine photography which may be less ambitious or picturesque than we are used to from the man who lensed Fort Apache, The Comancheros, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and The Alamo, but ensures that the film's exteriors do not lack for scope and that the conventional travelogues are richly textured and full of depth. He does his best with the enforced studio sets, of course, though even he cannot make that painted sky backdrop look convincing at the camp-fire stop-over on the way to Rio Lobo. It is all surprisingly violent, too, that lighter tone notwithstanding. Women get slapped around and one is even viciously sliced across the face. Although the slicing occurs off-camera, we get to see the rather cruel stick-on wound. People are clubbed and beaten and there are even a few blood-squibs exploding, although none of this is in the least bit disturbing. So Rio Lobo does contain its fair share of action. Yet despite the good bits, this all gets stale much too quickly and the movie becomes a tedious bore to sit through.
The acting, as I have already mentioned, can be truly abominable. I remain stunned at just how bad Jennifer O' Neill is. Oh, she is pretty to look at. There's no worries on that score – and it is nice to catch that fleeting glimpse of white stockings and suspenders as she awakens in Cordona's bed after a post-skirmish faint. But she cannot deliver her admittedly rank dialogue either convincingly or professionally. Or even on time for that matter with a couple of startling miscues. Her exchanges with her two male leads are cringe-worthy and most amateurish. With such a poor performance here, it is hard to imagine that she would go on to carve out an under-the-radar clutch of genre and exploitation hits over the ensuing decade or so, with The Reincarnation Of Peter Proud, A Force Of One (with Chuck Norris), The Psychic for Lucio Fulci and Scanners for David Cronenberg, and acquit herself quite decently in them too. And then there is Rivero, who may have pumped some serious iron for the role to gain a chest like Woody Strode's, but couldn't act if his life depended on it. The whole French/Mexican heritage for the former Confederate is lame and seems as if it has only been created to allow the Duke to refer to the character as "Frenchy" - Wayne liked to use semi-mocking nicknames for his co-stars. The exchanges between Rivero and O' Neill are execrable and when these two become the romantic couple of the piece, Wayne now resigned to the fact that he simply too old to get the girl, what little flow of chemistry that exists across the cast becomes stagnant with bilge. Even Robert Mitchum's son, Chris, who certainly looks the part of a dishevelled and unkempt Johnny Reb, fails to come up to scratch by being too damn nice all the time, and helping to ensure that this trio appear comprehensively out of their depth. Chris Mitchum, however, would be hugely better in the immediate Wayne follow-up, Big Jake, which is massively better than Rio Lobo in almost every respect, and will be reviewed separately.
Apparently, Hawks laid some blame for the film's poor quality at Wayne's feet, citing that the Duke was simply too old to carry off the part with any conviction and was merely slumming it. Well, this seems to me to be a case of the pot calling the kettle black. The very fact that Hawks was, in essence, telling the same story that he'd told twice before smacks of the utmost, play-it-safe laziness on his behalf. On the one hand, you can't knock the guy for going out on the range one last time with the star who was the very epitome of Hollywood's West but, on the other, he had a pedigree to live up to and standards to maintain, expectations to meet. This just seems like an excuse for himself and Wayne to go riding the frontier again, almost like a vanity project for the two elder statesmen. Better things were on the horizon for the leathery-joweled Duke, of course – McQ, Brannigan, The Cowboys, Rooster Cogburn and The Shootist – so there was definitely life in the old dog yet, but it is hard to see exactly what he got out of making this particular film. Of course, Wayne is merely playing Wayne and his detractors would cite that it probably makes no difference what film he is in, yet, for me, there is actually precious little of that innate and iconic persona in Rio Lobo that doesn't feel completely manufactured and purely rolled-off the assembly-line. That indefinable inner spark just isn't there, and Wayne seems to watching the young'uns around him with a curious bemusement.
Hawks, at 74, did not have a good time on his final production, and his esteemed career bows-out with a whimper that belies all the cherished titles that had gone before. Even the ten-a-cent Western quickies that the likes of Rory Calhoun used to churn out had more impetus, style and character than this. I so wish that I could just accept Rio Lobo for what it wants to be … which is nothing more than a "fun Western" … but I can't. It is a lazy, contrived retread that isn't fit to walk in the footsteps of its illustrious forebears. The two main shakers behind this were capable of so much better, though even if they had been at the top of their game, it's a cinch that their supporting cast would still have let them down and badly ruined all the fun, regardless of how well they'd handled things.
Well, folks, I love the Duke's films, and I really had thought that seeing Rio Lobo for the first time after many, many years I would find something of worth in it. But I think even die-hard pro-Waynists and fellow Western fanatics are going to have a struggle on their hands with this one. The action is nothing other than perfunctory despite some obvious attempts to make the initial train robbery an elaborately constructed set-piece, the comedic dialogue is just plain embarrassing, some of the acting is unbelievably bad and the overall tone is that of the lowliest of sanitised seventies TV movie. Plus we can't help but get the inescapable feeling that all we are really doing is witnessing two legends utterly squandering their considerable talents right there in front of us. It is a shameful exercise for all concerned. Even Goldsmith's score struggles to add anything positive – a fact that actually hurts me to confess – to a film that is nothing more than a lethargic rehash of many infinitely better interpretations … including two from Wayne and Hawks.
Rio Lobo is a rousing flop, folks, but with John Wayne in it there is still a strong fraternity who will require it for their collections … even if only as a sour footnote to a genuine screen icon meandering at the start of his own final chapter.


Jenine's awesome sister gifted her with a mini maternity session while her and her husband were in town last week. We had a rainy day but that didn't slow us down. Jenine is absolutely stunning and such a glowing mama-to-be! I wish they didn't live across the country so I could meet the sweet baby in about 9 weeks! All of the session images are online, checking them out by clicking on the Proofing link above. Enjoy!


Working in the film industry for five years was either energetic, tediously boring or a combination of both during the productions. I always had a pencil and sketching pad handy just to pass the time. The energy in this doodle reflects the feeling I transferred on paper during takes when we were indirectly involved in the activities. This particular sketch was one of a series of drawings while working on the film, "They Shoot Horses, Don't They." Sometimes, while doodling Sidney Pollack, the director, would look over my shoulder to see the progress of my drawings. He mentioned at times he would adopt some of my images and ideas when he was composing his scenes. Kind of like a visionary piggy backing on a vision. Eventually some sketches would be reproduced as oil paintings. "Busy minds" frequently create theaters of profound ingenious imagination! rvmann.com/artwork/2352121_Dream_Factor?
