'You are what you eat' is a metaphor that most of us have heard in our lifetime. When it comes to fertility, the foods we consume today have a direct and indirect impact on our body. Nutrients play a key role in assessing and improving fertility of both females and male. To prepare our bodies for pregnancy and enhance fertility, maintaining a healthy weight and choosing the right foods that will create an optimal environment for conception and healthy egg production is key. If you follow a healthy diet at least 90 days before conception it will remove potential toxins from your body and increase your fertility. This is where Sonia's expertise will make a difference and give Genova IVF patients the best chance for pregnancy.

Why is it significant for the project manager to establish a network of contacts in the IS organisation and also in the user organisation? In what conditions can these networks be helpful?
Networking is the skill of knowing and building rapport along with people who can assist you in the management of your project not who is not part of the project team. But traditional management hierarchies are slowly disappearing and into flatter, decentralised organisations this assists to know various people in various departments who can provides you alternative views and information, and bring affect to bear on your behalf. You'd positively want to ensure that you had connections in all of the stakeholder groups and in Finance and HR when they were not known as stakeholders.

As verbal and cognitive functions decline, how do you know if a person living with dementia is in pain? It was once thought that people with dementia don't feel pain the way we do; we now know this isn't the case. People with dementia indeed experience pain, but often have a difficult time articulating those feelings.
For some, distressed vocalization may be an indication of pain. For others, asking simple "yes" or "no" questions while gently pushing on the area of discomfort may help determine if there is an issue. But beyond verbal cues, what signs should we be aware of?
It may be as simple as noting a marked change in behavior or body language. Does Dad favor a limb or wince when you help him stand? Is your loved one guarding specific body parts and pulling away at your touch? Perhaps they are aggressive when being assisted or resist when getting in and out of bed. Other signs may include reduced appetite, increased blood pressure, or general restlessness. It is important to make your doctor aware of these changes, as they may be an indication of underlying pain or discomfort.


In June this year, we had the honour of working on a small unique development just outside of Exeter. These two homes reflect the wooded environment they sit in along with using locally sourced materials. Our marketing CGIs helped secure buyers for both plots off plan. It was great working on the exterior 3D CGIs of this site and we will be updating the site with the interior visuals very soon. You can view the exterior visualisations here.

J. McConnell; tycoon owned NHL team
JOHN H. MCCONNELL (ap file)
Email|Print|Single Page| Text size – + By
Associated Press / April 28, 2008
COLUMBUS, Ohio - John H. McConnell, a steel magnate who was the majority owner of the Columbus Blue Jackets, has died. He was 84.
Mr. McConnell, who was diagnosed with cancer last year, died Friday at a Columbus hospital, said Cathy Lyttle, a spokeswoman with Worthington Industries, a $3 billion-a-year steel processing company that Mr. McConnell started in 1955 with $600 he borrowed against his car.
Mr. McConnell brought major pro sports to Columbus when he led a group of investors that acquired an NHL expansion team. The Blue Jackets began to play in 2000. He called the team his gift to the city.
He was also an early investor in Major League Soccer's Columbus Crew franchise and a former minority owner of the Pittsburgh Pirates and arena football's Columbus Destroyers.
Unlike many owners, "Mr. Mac," as he was called by his coaches and players, was idolized by fans who filled Nationwide Arena to capacity to watch the Blue Jackets.
On opening night, Oct. 9, 2000, Mr. McConnell received a standing ovation that lasted nearly a minute when he slowly moved to center ice on a blue carpet - ever-present cane in hand - to drop the first puck along with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
"The players liked him," Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said. "I think they saw him more as a father figure and a friend rather than an owner. It was a privilege to work for him."

Q: php - displaying error message based on uploading file size not working I am making basic uploading file code. User is only allowed to upload two types of files, word and excel, and the file size limit to upload is 2MB.
I try to upload the word file and is 1MB, it has successfully uploaded to the database. When I test the code, the error message based on the incorrect file format is displayed, so it works.
Now here is the problem. When i try to test it by uploading the file 5MB, that is above the limit 2MB, it displayed the message "Contract Form Sucessfully Submitted!", but the file is not uploaded to the database. It works but it displayed the message wrong when it supposed to be "Sorry. Your file is too large. Only 2MB is allowed.".
So what is going on here?
PHP:

if ($_FILES['upload']['size'] != 0 ){

    $filename = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_FILES['upload']['name']);
    $filedata= mysqli_real_escape_string($con,file_get_contents($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name']));

Q: How can I get a list of fields AND respective tables used in an MS Access 2010 database? I know this is how you get a list of all the tables in the database (and more if you modify the critieria:
SELECT *
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE (((MSysObjects.Type)=1) AND ((MSysObjects.Flags)=0));

But is there a similar way to get a list of fields and what tables they belong to? I'm thinking this would be very usesful for troubleshooting and doing quick audit (i.e. answering "what other tables is this field or group of fields being used in"). But for whatever reason could not find an answer on the web.
If someone has a relatively simple way to do it through VBA, that can be an option too.
Thanks.

A: Unfortunately, the fieldnames are not available through a nice, compact SQL Query.
This code will print the table name and each field on a separate line in the debug window.
Private Sub ShowTableFields()

Dim db As Database
Dim tdf As TableDef
Dim x As Integer

Set db = CurrentDb

For Each tdf In db.TableDefs
   If Left(tdf.Name, 4) <> "MSys" Then ' Don't enumerate the system tables
      For x = 0 To tdf.Fields.Count - 1
      Debug.Print tdf.Name & "','" & tdf.Fields(x).Name
      Next x
   End If
Next tdf
End Sub

A: In this particular case, you may find ADO Schemas useful.
This will list fields and some properties for a particular table. Be careful of data types, you may not get an exact match to DAO types. You will need a reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects x.x Library, unless you use late binding.
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection, cn2 As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset, rs2 As ADODB.Recordset

   Set cn = CurrentProject.Connection

   Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaTables, _
       Array(Empty, Empty, Empty, "tablenamehere"))

   While Not rs.EOF
       Debug.Print rs!table_name; "   desc=  "; rs!Description
       Set rs2 = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaColumns, _
           Array(Empty, Empty, "" & rs!table_name & ""))
       While Not rs2.EOF
           Debug.Print "     " & rs2!Column_Name
           Debug.Print "     " & rs2!Data_Type
           Debug.Print "     " & rs2!Description
           Debug.Print "     " & rs2!Is_Nullable
           rs2.MoveNext
       Wend
   rs.MoveNext
   Wend
   rs.Close
   Set cn = Nothing

You can also look at things the other way around and get a list of tables that contain a particular field.
Dim cn As New ADODB.Connection
Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
Dim strTempList As String

   On Error GoTo Error_Trap

   Set cn = CurrentProject.Connection

   'Get names of all tables that have a column called <SelectFieldName>
   Set rs = cn.OpenSchema(adSchemaColumns, _
   Array(Empty, Empty, Empty, SelectFieldName))

   'List the tables that have been selected
   While Not rs.EOF
       'Exclude MS system tables
       If Left(rs!Table_Name, 4) <> "MSys" Then
           strTempList = strTempList & "," & rs!Table_Name
       End If
       rs.MoveNext
   Wend

   ListTablesContainingField = Mid(strTempList, 2)

While preventable, carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious and sometimes fatal condition. Large weather events, such as snowstorms and heavy storms that cause power outages, can lead to an increase in the number of reported carbon monoxide exposures. Researchers from Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut explored the link between these major storms and the rise in carbon monoxide exposure cases. They found that portable generators were the most common source of carbon monoxide exposure after storms which resulted in power losses; car exhaust was the most frequent source of exposure after heavy snowstorms. Their findings are published in the May issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
In 2011, 12,136 unintentional exposures were reported to U.S. Poison Control Centers. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that can build up to dangerous levels in unventilated areas. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include headaches, nausea, and dizziness. If left untreated, carbon monoxide exposure can lead to serious illness or even death. During and after severe winter weather, people are at an increased risk for exposure to carbon monoxide because of the use of alternative heat sources inside their homes and heating vents blocked by snow.
In this new study, investigators looked at data reported to the Connecticut Poison Control Center after two storms: a 2011 winter storm that resulted in widespread power loss and a large snowstorm in 2013. A total of 172 patient cases were identified after the power loss storm, while 34 cases were identified following the snowstorm. Researchers found that most carbon monoxide exposures occurred within the first day of a snowstorm, and on the second and third days of a power loss storm. "These results indicate that the staffing patterns and call schedules of the medical providers involved in the treatment of carbon monoxide-poisoned patients may need to be adjusted accordingly, based on the type of storm expected," says lead investigator Kelly Johnson-Arbor, MD, Department of Emergency Medicine, Hartford Hospital.
Investigators discovered that snowstorms present a different set of dangers from carbon monoxide exposure. During and following a heavy snow, people are likely to be exposed to carbon monoxide in their vehicles as well as their homes. In dwellings, large snowdrifts can block heating vents, while vehicle tailpipes can become clogged with snow that causes carbon monoxide to leak back into the car.
"A Comparison of Carbon Monoxide Exposures After Snowstorms and Power Outages," by Kelly Johnson-Arbor, MD; Angela Quental; and Dadong Li, PhD, is published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Volume 46, Issue 5 (May 2014), DOI: 10.1016/j.amepre.2014.01.006, published by Elsevier.

Dywel fab Erbin is a minor character and warrior of Welsh tradition, the son of Erbin and the brother of Geraint and Ermid. Alongside his brothers, he is named in the early Arthurian tale Culhwch ac Olwen as a knight of Arthur's court at Celliwig.

His death in battle is recorded in the Black Book of Carmarthen poem The Dialogue of Myrddin and Taliesin, in which it is written:

Again and again, in great throngs they came,
There came Bran and Melgan to meet me.
At the last, they slew Dyel,
The son of Erbin, with all his men.

In the Stanzas of the Graves, Dywel's final resting place is given as "Caewaw" or "Caeo", a commot in south-west Wales. The englyn extolls Dywel's bravery on the battlefield.

The Grave of Dywel, the son of Erbin, is in the plain of Caewaw
He would not be a vassal to a king;
Blameless, he would not shrink from battle.

Abstract

The absolute
bioavailability of clarithromycin, a new macrolide antimicrobial
agent, was assessed in a three-way, randomized, single-dose,
crossover study conducted with 22 healthy volunteers, 19 of whom
provided analyzable study data. The bioavailability parameters of
two 250-mg oral tablet formulations were calculated with reference
to an identical dose administered by intravenous infusion of the
lactobionate salt. After adjustment for formulation potency, the
mean absolute bioavailabilities of the two oral formulations were
52 and 55%, on the basis of the appearance of parent compound in
the systemic circulation. Metabolite peak concentration and area
under the plasma concentration-time curve data after oral dosing
were generally greater than those after intravenous infusion,
suggesting that marked first-pass metabolism of clarithromycin
occurs after oral administration. Pharmacokinetic analysis of the
parent drug and the active 14-hydroxy metabolite data suggests
complete (or nearly complete) absorption of the drug after oral
administration.

Creating a Kindle book is free and has many advantages, one of which is that is will really help your online business to grow. Uploading your book to the Kindle platform is easy to do and you can set your own price suitable for your particular niche.
In this article I am going to share with you some of the reasons why you should start publishing your own Kindle books.
Amazon is one of the biggest online retailers. If you can get a presence on that platform then you really increase visibility to your business. Since people can now read kindle books on any device (not just the kindle), this opportunity is greater than ever before.
Kindle books are priced fairly low but even so having a kindle book for people to purchase will provide you with another source of passive income.
When you join the Kindle community, you get access to ideas and tips through the newsletter and also you can join in the discussions that other like minded people are involved in. This gives you an insight into the world of online business and publishing that you can use in your own niche.
Since it is free to upload a kindle book it is an ideal platform for you to use to test your product topic ideas. If you join the KDP select program and offer your book on a free promotion this gives you an idea of whether people are interested in your particular book topic or not. If there is a lot of interest then you can use that to develop other products or training programs on that topic.
Amazon will encourage people to leave reviews. In reality many people don't but since Amazon is so well known that the chance of someone leaving a review is slightly greater. This means that you can obtain feedback about your books and use that to further improve with future books or products.
There really is no better time than now to start using the kindle platform. Selling your content is so much easier than it used to be and being able to reach so many people worldwide is a huge benefit. Remember that this is a huge traffic site so it's an opportunity not to miss out on.
Use it as an addition to your online business for marketing, testing and inspiration.

29 Neb. senators lend support to Keystone XL
By - Associated Press - Thursday, March 6, 2014
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - A majority of Nebraska's state lawmakers have signed a letter in support of the Keystone XL oil pipeline.
The letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was signed this week by 29 of Nebraska's 49 state senators. It urges federal approval of the pipeline, which would carry 830,000 barrels of oil a day from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries.
Nebraska has been a stronghold for pipeline opponents, including environmentalists and some landowners. A district court judge last month invalidated a state law that was used to approve the project, but the state is appealing.
Sen. Jim Smith of Papillion, who supports the project, gathered signatures for the letter. It was signed by 22 Republicans and seven Democrats in the officially nonpartisan, one-house Legislature.


Once the nights got down to the 20s it was time to start putting sheets and towels over some of the succulents in our garden. Next, put on Simba and Peetie's down jacket before tucking them into my bed with a blanket covering them to keep extra warm.
The boys love this arrangement so well, they've made a habit of taking over half the bed each night — snuggling down into the comforter, pillows and blankets!


In the strip-lit no man's land of the airport terminal, a security guard and a customs officer each stop a passing traveller.
They begin to investigate, but become increasingly confounded by the travellers' bizarre baggage and accounts of obscure yet strangely familiar journeys. Haven't we been here before?
A stylistically playful and tantalising parable for our times.

Montreal's first major residential rental project in years
Heather Seftel-Kirk
A unique residential property will become Montreal's first major residential rental project in more than a decade. It is part of an overall plan to revitalize District Griffin and just one in a series of projects by prominent Montreal condo developer Devimco.
L'Hexagone, the $66-million 15-storey building currently under construction, is the first of three towers and will include 257 rental units, along with 28,000 square feet of commercial space. The project is being constructed by a partnership between Devimco, Fonds immobilier de solidarité FTQ and Cogir Management Corp.
A major project for Montreal's Sud-Ouest
"L'Hexagone is the only major residential development project currently in progress in Montréal's Sud-Ouest neighbourhood," Serge Goulet, president and CEO of Devimco Immobilier said in a news release. "We've been building in Griffintown since 2008 and this project is in keeping with our desire to develop a living environment that offers a diverse array of services and housing."
The complex will offer a variety of floor plans with contemporary designs. Each will feature large windows and most will have views of the Lachine Canal, Old Montreal or the downtown core. Amenities including a rooftop terrace, inner courtyard with a terrace and pool, a doorman and concierge service are anticipated to be added draws.
A collaborative effort between Martin/Marcotte Beinhaker Architects, IBI DAA (IBI Group, Daniel Arbour & Associates) and Devimco Immobilier, the overall design combines MMB's focus on architectural design and sustainable development and IBI DAA's expertise in "community planning, land development and urban and regional development" considering both the visual aspect and connections to the broader community.
The second 15-storey tower, when constructed, will bring the total of available units to 312.
Thirty of these will be "Certified Genius"- 360 sq. ft. of living space custom designed and furnished to maximize comfort and adaptability. The second tower will also bring the total commercial space available to 110,000 sq. ft. and is expected to serve both condo tenants and other neighbourhood residents.
Together these towers make up phases three and four, called District Griffin sur Peel, and will have an estimated combined cost of $140 million. A third tower is also planned.
A corner of Griffintown
Located at the corner of Wellington St. and Murray St., the complex is situated within Griffintown, the name given to a part of the city that existed from the 1820s until the 1960s and is part of a significant revitalization effort by the city. In the early 1960s the area was re-zoned light industrial and since then many of the buildings have been demolished to make way for an expressway and parking lots though remnants of some of the historic structures still remain.
In 2012, the city announced plans to transform the former industrial, vacant area into a family-oriented neighbourhood which would include parks, bicycle paths and dozens of 10- to 20-storey condos.
Preservation of the historical significance of some of the remaining buildings was also identified as a goal.
In describing its location, the release describes a tranquil setting minutes from the downtown core and near the peaceful Lachine Canal-Peel Basin. Easy access to public transit, bike stations, major roads, neighbourhood services and night life are also highlighted.
Occupancy is expected for spring 2015.

As parents home-schooling our children, we decided to start our academic adventure by taking a field trip to Mount Rushmore. What a great beginning experience. As we continued to work and study with our children, we were fascinated to learn that the most important activity a family could do together was read. Parents reading to their children, children reading to each other…just lots of reading. This was new to me. I grew up reading only for facts, but now I have discovered many new, exciting, open doors which allow me to learn and to dream.
This piece depicts my son, Isaiah, and his thirst for knowledge. Totally enraptured, this young student typifies the total satisfaction we all can find in great books. The young boy's expression, the stack of books still to be read, and arched form of the 'Bookworm' repeats its simple message: Learning is fun! I offer to you, 'Bookworm', so you can open the cover and dream.


In general flyers are an accepted means of promotion and do not need clearance. However, in few places where one might be obstructing some other business, a cursory permission might be in order.
Let us look at some important places for flyer and leaflet delivery in Sydney.
We are talking of places like malls or performance theatres or a market place where there is a large gathering of people at any given time. This could be the ideal setting for flyer distribution. Just handing over flyers as they pass by is the way to go about it. Make sure your flyers are attractive enough to catch attention as you hand them over.
This remains by far the most popular method of getting your flyers or leaflets where you intend them to go. Mailbox leaflet delivery in Sydney is a trusted way of getting them into the hands of the target audience directly. The conversion rate is very high when you make your flyer catchy and it sings at the first instance to the customer, making a big impact.
A waiting area is one place where there is a large range of people. Irrespective of where the waiting area is situated, one can consider handing out flyers there provided there is no case for intrusion. Going through some interesting new business or venture while one is waiting, killing time is a good option and there is, in fact, quite a high chance of conversion.
Sydney is one place where pay phones are still in use, strange as it might seem in an age where even toddlers get started on smartphones. The pay phone booth immediately becomes a good place to get going on flyer distribution. While one is engaging in a call inside a pay phone booth, it would thus be a clever idea to place a bunch of flyers besides the phone. There is a good enough chance that the caller will take glances during the call, and if it catches the eyes, will grab one on the way out.
These are again places that involve some amount of idle waiting and placing your flyers at strategic points would be a good idea. This could work very well in making an impression on people, leading them to follow up later.
Flyer distribution makes an impact where maximum number of people is around, increasing the chances of hitting the target. Most of the ways listed above are pretty much effective.


The diving in Sharm is as good now as it ever was. The divers that have made the effort to get here since the direct flights from UK ceased will bear testament to that.
The ebb and flow of the tide that brings the concentrated nutrients to the area, due to it's geographical position in The Red Sea, keeps feeding the reef, and in turn produces a favourable habitat for the marine creatures that make this place their home, and also provides a great pit stop area for passers by such as the Whale Sharks, Manta's and other pelagic's. We have had one of our best ever year for spotting these big creatures this year.
Although the restriction on direct UK flights remains in place, more and more British divers are getting here by other means as many European countries have lifted their restrictions, including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Switzerland and Ukraine, as well as other countries outside of Europe such as Turkey and Jordan.
For those UK divers interested that hasn't yet visited Sharm since the flight ban, and are able and wanting to visit Sharm and its most wonderful dive reefs, which have experienced an unprecedented resurgence during the quiet spell, indirect flights are the only way to return to Sharm's never-ending sunshine and diving, so here's the most comprehensive travel advice available on getting to Sharm.
Click on HERE to read the original article from DIVE Magazine about ways to get to Sharm from UK.
A massive thank you must go out to our loyal Divers and supporters. You have once again put us firmly on the map of BEST DIVE CENTERS.
You voted us 6th Place in The World, against very strong opposition.
The best in The World outside Indonesia.
And definitely The Best Dive Center in The Red Sea Once Again.
It was very pleasing to see that the editor of DIVE Magazine has praised our loyal divers for the effort they made to put us so high up in the rankings.
All the credit goes to you, our divers and of course our loyal Team that keep you wanting to come back to dive with them. From the office staff who deal with your bookings, to the tank lads who look after your kit and wash it for you to take back with you clean and dried, the Boat crew of captain Yahia, Zinger and Top Chef Shadi, to of course our wonderful Instructors and guides, who you all mention in person when writing Trip Adviser reports.
Some of you will recognise our first Dive Center where it all started but had to move to bigger premises.
Click on the link below to see the full results from DIVE Magazine but no doubt you will get an e.mail form them thanking you for your vote.
Our three planned Shark Safari's to Egypt's South Red Sea in the Summer of 2019 are all confirmed Sailing's on M.Y.Bella.
We will depart from Hurghada and head South to the Shark area further down South. Our shark Safari's have had Shark bonanza's for the last three years and we can't see why 2019 will be any different.
The main objective of these Safari's is to dive and see as many shark species as possible. Although we are planning the Simply The Best Itinerary as this gives us the best chance of seeing more shark at that time of year, we will leave the final decision and advice down to our very professional guide Kalil and our very own G, who has found us sharks for the last three Summers. Kalil works in that area all year round. He knows too well where the sharks are at given times, through first hand experience of diving that area for years, and also keeping his ear to the ground and gathering information from other guides diving in that area. G has also worked on the Shark Safari's for the last three Summers and together Kalil and G make up a winning team.
There are some places left on three different confirmed sailings.
On one dive in Summer 2018 and 2017 we had five different species of shark on the same dive. White tip reef shark. Grey Reef shark, Hammer Head shark. Thresher Shark and Oceanic White Tip Shark not to mention the Eagle rays Manta's and Whale sharks, silky sharks we saw.

Our first full Instructor Development course is going to commence in February 2019 with already several Instructor candidates enrolled on the ten day course, and Instructors enrolled to become Staff Instructors also. The PADI Instructor exam will run straight after our course in Sharm El sheikh. This is run by PADI themselves.
We have partnered up with Course Director Kerrie Eade and Staff instructor Beth Comley who together form 'Pro Dive UK' which is a company designed to deliver professional PADI Instructor training to the diving Industry.
We are very pleased to have teamed up with Pro Dive UK to deliver Instructor training and more, to our diving community.
Kerrie herself is a Platinum Course Director.
Reaching Platinum status is a big achievement for a PADI Course Director. It takes a lot of hard work, dedication and passion for teaching others to become PADI Instructors. There are a other levels below this, such as Course Director, Silver Course Director and Gold Course Director, but Platinum is the highest achievement.
So what is the difference between a course director and a Platinum Course Director?
A Platinum Course Director puts in many hours of teaching besides training PADI dive masters, there is of course the IDC (Instructor Development Course) where the CD trains new Instructors. Divemaster and Instructors are Called PADI Pros's. As PADI Pro's, they can climb the ladder and go for MSTD (Master SCUBA Diver Trainer) by having different Instructor ratings for 5 PADI specialties.
To become a Platinum Course Director, you need to issue a minimum of 100 professional level certifications in a year, at least 30 of which were at Open Water Instructors or IDC Staff Instructor level and overall 70 percent or higher professional level continuing education ratio (pass rate).
When Bethan started diving, she quickly fell in love with the sport and was fortunate to spend 4 glorious holidays in Sharm El Sheikh with Elite Diving to really get to grips with the underwater world in great company, (her words) helping her to explore the unrivaled dive sites of the Red Sea.
Now, as a Master Instructor, Bethan is committed to giving all of her students the best level of support both during their training and once it has been completed and they are working as dive professionals. She has a passion for conservation as a 100% AWARE partner and is always willing to share her knowledge with students to help them get ahead in the dive industry. Bethan is always exploring new and innovative ways to tackle the syllabus and always looks to add an element of fun to any training, so you can see how she fits in with "The 'elite' way".
Bethan has achieved Silver Elite teaching status for the last two years certifying over 250 students including 7 Divemasters, 1 Assistant Instructor and working with Kerrie to teach 12 IDCs over the past 18 months."
Alun and Moyra receiving one of their many awards.
With our own Mr Alun being a PADI Staff Instructor for over fifteen years and taught many divers to become very good instructors such as our own 'Alec Taffro Jones' for one. Alun was also awarded The Best PADI Instructor in the World for three consecutive years by PADI's very own Dive magazine Sport Diver, so we can see this being a winning team.
Alun first became a diving instructor back in 1988 and helped many divers become competent divers over the years in his local dive club. In 2002 he moved to Sharm El Sheikh after many family diving holidays there, where he stared teaching full time, and soon built up a name for himself. He formed Red Sea elite diving back in 2015 after Moyra telling him to start working for himself.
Moyra was there on hand to help with the administration and though is a Dive supervisor herself, she never used it professionally.
They still work and run the dive center to this day but now the younger generation is taking on more and more.
G & V are an integral part of the elite diving family dive center and they will also be taking part in the February Instructor Development Course for their Staff Instructor development.
It was the obvious choice for Elite Diving to team up with Pro Dive UK to head our Instructor training.
For those of you that fantasise about traveling the world being a diving instructor or just helping teach students at your local dive center or club, here is your opportunity to do it under the wing of elite diving and Pro Dive UK in Sharm El Sheikh.

GLYNN GEDDIE RETURNS TO THE BTCC WITH TEAM HARD
Latest News posted 15th October 2020
Team HARD. Racing has today (15 October) announced Glynn Geddie will make his return to the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship, partnering Jack Goff in the second RCIB Insurance with Fox Transport VW CC for the remainder of the season.
The 2011 British GT champion contested the 2014 BTCC season and selected rounds of the 2018 campaign, achieving seven points finishes in the ten rounds he took part in.
"I'm excited to be re-joining the BTCC circus after 18 months away," commented Geddie. "During that time, I've done a lot of GT racing in Bentleys and Lamborghinis which are all rear-wheel drive, so I'm under no illusion that the front-wheel drive Volkswagen CC is going to take some getting used to.
"The car has shown flashes of pace this season and I'm sure with the help of Jack and Nic I will be able to get on the pace quickly and help the team secure more points finishes in the CC's final few events.
"I must say it's going to be a bit surreal competing in the biggest championship in the country with no fans present, they really help make the BTCC what it is. They will be missed but I'll be giving it everything to put on a show for them all at home!"
Tony Gilham, Managing Director of Team HARD. Racing commented: "It's great to have Glynn with us for the remainder of the season. He's a very fast driver and proved he belongs in the BTCC in both 2014 and 2018. Glynn has driven an array of different race cars and has always been on the pace, to be able to adapt to new machines so quickly is a skill that, in my opinion, can't be taught.
"I actually drove against Glynn in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB in 2008-2010, so we've known each other for some time now and have had many battles on track together, which is another reason why I know he's going to do a great job in the Volkswagen CC.
"Let's see what Glynn and the team can do in the final six races of the season as we all start looking to a new era for the team in 2021!"
Geddie will be partnering Goff in the second RCIB Insurance with Fox Transport Volkswagen CC for the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship events at Snetterton and Brands Hatch, both of which will be broadcast live across ITV4, with qualifying sessions streamed on itv.com/btcc.

Inadequate financing threatens Ghana's universal health coverage
GHANA – Ghana's quest to attain the World Health Organization's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) by 2030 set to suffer a setback if the government does not invest adequately into the health sector, a health advocate said.
In an interview, Leonard Shang-Quartey, the coordinator of Policy and Advocacy at the Alliance for Reproductive Health Right, a non-governmental organization, said Ghana currently lags as far as achieving the global UHC agenda was concerned.
"The UHC agenda which Ghana has signed onto has a global target date of 2030. But with less than a decade and looking at the expenditure on the health sector from the national budget, Ghana is far behind and needs to invest to catch up," he said.
If the West African country must attain the UHC, the government must use the country's tax resources as the main financing source together with the Annual Budgeting Fund Amount from the oil resources and donor support to invest adequately in the health sector, said Shang-Quartey.
The UHC target dictates that all individuals and communities must receive the health services they need without suffering financial hardship.
It includes the full spectrum of essential, quality health services, from health promotion to prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care across the life course.
Currently, Ghana's universal health care system has been described as the most successful healthcare system on the African continent by the renowned business magnate and tycoon Bill Gates.
Most healthcare is provided by the government and is largely administered by the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service.
Although the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the availability of health systems and services globally, many countries were already making progress toward UHC to provide undisrupted health services to their citizens, the health advocate said.
"I think countries over the world are now implementing a universal health care policy because they realized that health care cannot be an individual responsibility but rather the responsibility of the entire country," said Shang-Quartey.
"That is the reason people pay taxes and contribute to the national trust fund because individuals cannot build hospitals for themselves and buy the equipment and expensive medicines needed to treat certain ailments."
"Many countries are using their tax monies to ensure that the facilities and services are available for people so, we expect the Ghanaian government to properly invest to uphold the human right to health for every Ghanaian, "said Shang-Quartey.
He is optimistic about the prospects of achieving UHC if only the Ghanaian government would invest adequately into physical infrastructure for health and services.

I don't see a 'flashed' looked to his face, nor a strong flashed catch light, so I'm guessing you either bounced the flash or might have cropped this image. One of, if not the biggest issue with flash, is getting the WB correct in mixed lighting environments - and once the mixed lighting has been 'mixed' it really can't be unmixed - so maybe think of practicing with gelling your flashes in the future or try and work on your Post Processing and getting the WB 'better'.
Sometimes, in situations such as these, you just have to fix the WB when you are editing the pictures afterwards because you wil always be able to do better than the camera's best guess when mixed lighting is involved. If you aren't familiar with how to do this, watch some videos on Youtube on WB and changing it in Lightroom (as an example).
The other things you can do very quickly is use a few graduated filters, pulled in from different directions, to even out the lighting on his face, and then reduce a bit of the red and orange saturations to desaturate his face of reds a bit.
Finally, I would crop the image to make it look like his head is not an afterthought but the focus of your your picture. You can also, very quickly remove his facial bandages in Photoshop with the Healing Brush - takes 5 seconds.
First one with speedlites. Second one with constant light.
I don't do a lot of headshot sessions, but I've been photographing this sweet girl since 2009 when she was just 5 years old, and she needed some updated ones for dance - glad she called me!
Very nice set. Love her eyes.
Such beautiful photos Lisa, as always.

This is an image that is currently posted on another thread (apologies for duplication) ... but I thought it would be equally 'at home' here.
Lovely photo of lovely Luisa!
Can't help but think of Tattoine. Nice shot!
