A 100-year-old company
8 stations and 4 kilometres. This was the first Metro de Madrid line that was inaugurated on 17 October 1919 between Cuatro Caminos and Sol. Almost 100 years later, Metro has reached 12 municipalities in Madrid, where over 75% of the residents live less than 600 metres away from a Metro station.
Since the first journey made by Alfonso XIII, Metro has expanded in an exponential manner, mirroring the demographic and economic growth experienced in the Autonomous Community of Madrid, to 294 km and 302 stations throughout the network. It is ranked among the great underground systems in the world: it is the fifth in terms of the number of stations, behind London, New York, Shanghai and Paris, and the eighth in terms of extension behind New York, London, Beijing, Guangzhou, Seoul, Shanghai and Moscow. In 2018, 657.2 million users chose Metro as a form of public transport within the region.
Today, Metro is a big company with 6,977 employees devoted to the mobility of Madrilenians. Our mission: become the preferred transport option in Madrid, offering a quality and efficient service. To this end, the three pillars of our strategy are public service, efficiency and customer experience.
Metro de Madrid's Mission stresses its vocation to provide a quality, efficient public service with a strong commitment to its customers, while improving safety, sustainability, technological innovation and digitalisation. Its Mission is expressed in the following terms:
"To provide the main mobility solution in the Region of Madrid, offering a quality, efficient public service with a strong commitment to its customers, while improving safety, sustainability and innovation."
The Vision – the future projection of its Mission – is structured around three major strategic challenges implicit therein (public service, efficient management and customer experience), while also introducing other key concepts for the development of our company as a sustainable, innovative and inclusive transport provider:
To be a benchmark in sustainable public transport, the backbone and facilitator of multimodal mobility for citizens of and visitors to the Region of Madrid.
Efficiency management
To be efficient in the use and management of resources, geared towards achieving results, to continuous improvements and technological, organizational and procedural innovation, minimising negative effects on the environment and respecting at all times the legal, regulatory and ethical conditions applicable.
To improve the customer experience by developing a model of smart and personalized mobility at every stage of the journey, fostering inclusion and autonomy in the use of the network.
STRATEGIC PILLARS
Directly deriving from the Mission and the Vision, three main strands or strategic pillars are established which lay the foundations for the more specific strategic approaches of Metro de Madrid:
A fundamental concept at Metro de Madrid as a public transport enterprise that forms the backbone of mobility in the region, and revolves around continuous improvements in the provision of service to its customers while enhancing safety..
This involves the obligation of the public enterprise to offer a quality service at a reasonable cost. Efficiency seeks the necessary economic sustainability of the company, sustainability in social and environmental terms; all through a results-orientated approach coupled with technological, organisational and procedural innovation.
Metro de Madrid, in addition to guaranteeing citizen mobility, must guarantee an enjoyable travel experience to its customers, and must project a good image to society in general.
In parallel, and from a cross-cutting perspective, these three strategic pillars are supported by the enhancement of three key concepts for the general strategic approach of Metro de Madrid:
Improved safety, both in operational and in physical and logical terms.
Improved sustainability, which contributes to society through sustainable economic, social and environmental management.
Improved technological innovation and digitalisation, which leverages an enhancement in service, efficiency and customer experience, provided by the opportunities offered by new technologies and digitalisation.
2020 Strategic Objectives
The crisis caused by COVID-19 explains the establishment of the 2020 Strategic Objectives (OES) which, to a large extent, include the plans and specific actions linked to the management of the pandemic and its consequences, thus ensuring the provision of an essential service for society in our region under the maximum conditions of health and safety. Eight objectives have been established, in which two blocks can be distinguished: OES 1 to 3, which includes the objectives more directly linked to the COVID-19 pandemic and OES 4 to 8, which responds to more stable criteria in Metro de Madrid's strategic approaches, such as service quality, occupational and operational safety, efficiency and customer experience.

UAE says Qatari jet fighters intercepted civilian flights
DUBAI (Reuters) - The United Arab Emirates said on Monday Qatari air force jets had twice intercepted its civilian aircraft during routine flights to Bahrain, but Qatar called the claim "completely untrue".
Qatar said the allegation, reported by the UAE's state news agency WAM, was intended to divert attention from what it said were violations by Emirati military aircraft of its airspace.
The UAE is one of four Arab countries, along with Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt, that imposed travel, diplomatic and trade sanctions on Qatar in June 2017, accusing it of supporting terrorism.
Qatar has denied the charges and accused the four countries of trying to make it conform to their foreign policy positions.
Qatar's rivals have banned Qatari aircraft from their airspace but Doha has not reciprocated with a ban of its own.
The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority said two Emirati airliners, carrying 277 passengers, had encountered the jets from Qatar, which lies between the UAE and Bahrain, while en route to Bahrain, according to WAM.
One of the planes was intercepted at 10:30 a.m., and the second at 11:05 a.m. at between 9,000 and 10,000 feet. The report did not specify a date, but appeared to mean the incidents happened on Monday.
"Bahraini radars have tracked the Qatari military planes while intercepting the Emirati civilian aircraft," WAM quoted civil aviation director Saif al-Suwaidi as saying.
"The incident could also be seen by the naked eye by both the crew and passengers, which constitutes a clear threat to the lives of innocent civilians," he added.
The UAE condemned the Qatari action as "a serious and renewed breach of international conventions and the safety of civil aircraft traffic".
The UAE Civil Aviation Authority did not say which airlines were involved, but Bahrain's state news agency BNA said the first flight was from Emirates [EMIRA.UL]. The airline is owned by the government of Dubai, one of seven emirates in the UAE federation. It gave no details of the second flight.
Qatar's foreign ministry said the UAE allegation followed incidents on Dec. 21 and Jan. 3 in which UAE military aircraft had violated its airspace.
Ministry spokeswoman Lulwa Rashed al-Khater said Qatar planned to take legal action against the UAE over the incidents.
"It seems that the Civil Aviation Authority in the UAE, by publishing false claims, is trying to pre-empt events and cover over news of the Emirati plane penetration of Qatari airspace," Khater said in the statement, posted on the ministry's website.
On Friday, Qatar said it had filed a complaint with the United Nations about the alleged violation of its airspace on Dec. 21. The UAE denied the allegation.

This garden is designed to take advantage of the naturally sloping front yard and verge. Terraces are used in the garden to create a variety of levels which are accentuated by the range of earthy natural materials. It is a front yard space so some fencing and informal hedge screening was included in the design to create a sense of privacy to the outdoor living area.
Recycled & milled Jarrah is used for the decking, terraces are formed using natural Tamala limestone and other surfaces include stabilised Summerstone fines gravel and a small feature area of Sir Walter softleaf buffalo lawn. The garden is filled with edibles and flowering perennials framed by a few small deciduous trees including Cercis Forest Pansy, one of the best deciduous small trees for Perth.

You spend hours writing the perfect post. You find the perfect pictures and write your best content, and yet, you don't seem to be gaining much traction. So what went wrong?
This is something that I struggled with for a long time until I stumbled upon a post that talked about using keywords to help drive traffic to your website. So what did I learn? Well, in essence, keywords are something that that people search for on websites like Google in order to find what they are looking for. The beauty of the internet is that the more that you talk about a keyword, the easier you will be to find what you need. So if I want to show people how to do keyword research for search engine optimization, all I have to do is simply use that phrase.
So does this mean that I can stuff as many keywords in my posts as possible?
Not at all! We are on the verge of artificial intelligence and the algorithms that drive the content that you see are very good at sorting out which content is there to benefit readers and which content is there to benefit solely the website. Strategies like buying links, keyword stuffing not only don't work, but also search engines will penalize you.
Keyword stuffing is time-consuming and ultimately won't help readers understand what you are trying to accomplish. The basis of writing is to convey something to the writer. The best writing, the writing that turns visitors into regulars, is the kind of writing that solves some kind of pain or problem for a reader.
Think about it. Why do you search for something on Google? Maybe you want to find a store, maybe you want to look up reviews for a product or even to find a dentist because you are having tooth pain. All of these examples are of people that are looking to solve a problem. So before you even start writing or searching for keywords, identify a problem that your potential readers have that you can solve.
So what about the keywords?
So you know that keywords help readers find you, but how do you find the keywords? To do that you need a keyword tool. Keyword tools are programs and websites that show you what phrases are searched for and clicked on the most. Not only that but they also tell you what other websites are targetting the same keyword. This will help you narrow your keyword phrase from something like 'search engine optimization', which has tons of traffic and searches monthly, to 'how to do keyword research for search engine optimization', which has decent traffic and searches and also much less competition.
What keyword tool is the best?
There are lots of keyword tools out there that will help you find the information that you need but I personally like Jaaxy. Jaaxy is a tool that will allow you to find competitive keywords, but it will also help you find affiliate programs, see where you rank for your keywords and more.
Jaaxy has a free trial but the standard cost for small bloggers and new website owners is $49/month. There are other good tools too, like Longtail Pro. Which tool works the best for you depends on exactly what you want to accomplish and the rate at which you want to succeed.
It's very helpful to know what keywords suit your content the best, but how do you actually use them in your content? Personally, I don't try to stuff every paragraph with my keywords and I don't generally target more than one phrase per article. Here are some strategies that I use to incorporate my keywords.
Use your keyword in your title. Because you want your content to be searchable, it's important that potential readers see their search phrase as soon as possible in your content. The best way to accomplish this is to use the phrase right in the title of your article. So if someone searches for 'waffle house in Dallas Texas' and I'm a waffle house in Dallas, I might have a title like 'Why GoodWaffles is the best waffle house in Dallas Texas'.
Use your keyword somewhere in your first paragraph or two. You want to reinforce that this content is relevant to your readers. Using your keyword early on is going to help your readers know that your post has what they need. It's also not a bad idea to use your keyword later on as well.
Write quality content that is easy to read and is relevant to your reader. This one is a little bit more abstract. Think of a blog or even a YouTube channel that you really like. You can tell that they are passionate about their niche and that they are trying to deliver content to you that helps you solve a problem. They aren't trying to scam you or drive traffic to their sites to overload you with ads because this drives people away and delivers a bad experience.
Target the same keywords in multiple posts. Another strategy is to target the same group of keywords in multiple posts. Staying consistent with your keywords, at least when your website is not well established, will ensure that you will be seen when people look for that phrase. This is an even more successful strategy if you include links in your posts to other posts on your website. This will bring traffic to other pages of yours as well.
These are some basic keyword strategies but if you do them consistently, your content will rise to the tops of the search results and you will notice your organic traffic taking off. Keep in mind that these strategies all require that you are writing consistently and that you are doing these with every post.
Perfect timing as I am just now trying to get better at keyword placement.
What I did not know and found helpful was to use the same keywords across numerous posts.
Hey Cathy, I'm glad that you found some useful advice!
Hey Marvin, it's cool that you use Jaaxy as well. Longtail Pro is a good keyword tool as well and it relatively comprehensive.
Hi Rob, Very informative and most useful article. The four tips were good re-enforcement for me. 1 and 2 are usually easy to work in, 3 is tougher for me because I am still developing as a writer. #4 is something I had wondered about but I don't remember any specific information on it. My website is not well established (as far as traffic), I like the tip and will be giving it a try. After all, I did come here for your advice!
Hi Sanders, it's great that you got so much value from this post!
Hi Rob, thank you for the interesting article, yes that strategy of targeting the same keywords in multiple article is a good one!!.. Like you said too the AI these days a self learning and can pick out articles that is trying to cheat the system…hmmmm, there it goes, the system is the google system I guess who control about 68%? at the last count and Bing and yahoo about 30%..so maybe looking at more Bing friendly articles will spill over to Google as well. You have some relevant and interesting points there Rob. Thank you for the information.
Awesome advice, I am currently working on keywords and SEO with my blog. I appreciate your article!
Glad you like the article Shyla!
Hello Rob, Jaaxy sounds like an amazing tool. the crazy thing is that there are so many different variations of keywords so really as long as you do plenty of research you shouldn't have a problem finding keywords to write about in any niche. Great article!
That's true. Being prepared and researching is key.
Hi Rob. Thanks for the useful article. I have a couple of websites and my first was a piano tuition review website which is a couple of years old. I've always aimed to write quality content and add value, but my traffic stats are poor. I'm just beginning to understand keywords and how important they are. Do you use Google keywords? I've not had much experience with them and wondered how useful it is. .. Jaxxy is good and simple to use and I'll continue to give that a go. Thanks again for the advice.
I do not use Google for my keyword research. There's nothing wrong with it, it's just not my jam.

Q: In python, when to use Apply, Lambda and none at all? Basic concept question trying to get the concept crystallized in my head.
say, you have a dataframe , and one of the columns is 'JobTitle'.
i'm practicing apply, apply(lambda..., etc.
here is what i get:
try 1:
sal['JobTitle'].str.upper()
-> this works
try 2:
sal['JobTitle'].apply(str.upper())
-> this does NOT work
try 3:
sal['JobTitle'].apply(lambda title: title.upper())
-> this works

*

*i'm just trying to understand when it's appropriate to use apply vs lambda vs neither.

*why does 'try 2' not work? i guess, broadly, i'm trying to understand when to use apply with or without lambda.

thank you.

In 1983, she became the first woman to lead it, according to the New York Times.
Then you see that Gates is the largest donor after countries listed on their website.
And so it's fascinating. I may be risking my life even saying this – but we have a right to be free, not tagged and herded like cattle. Gates said, "No, that's a dead end. Fauci said that he would definitely prescribe Chloroquine for patients. Bill Gates presents himself as the 'geeky nerd' who stumbled his way into becoming one of the most-powerful and richest man on earth, with the time-worn fable of how he got that life-changing contract with IBM for Microsoft purely by … He then claimed he wanted to return "to what I love most, focusing on technologies for the future." This was an interesting explanation. He found that Microsoft's position in the marketplace constituted a monopoly that threatened not only the competition but also innovation in the industry. Fauci was previously accused of a conflict of interest regarding one of his patents in 1999. Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News reported in 2016 on Gates' relationship with Moderna: "Moderna Therapeutics said today it received an initial $20 million grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to develop a new affordable combination of messenger RNA–based antibody therapeutics geared toward preventing HIV infection. Bill Gates' father was the head of Planned Parenthood. Few know that this project is continued on an international scale by the enormous wealth of Bill Gates.
Gates is a big proponent for a population lockdown scenario for the Coronavirus outbreak. In a lengthy interview with Bill Moyers released today, Microsoft billionaire Bill Gates reveals the inspiration for his funding of pro-abortion population control measures. Fauci downplayed the threat of Coronavirus on January 21 in a Newsmax TV interview, saying, "This is not a major threat for the people in the United States, and this is not something that the citizens of the United States right now should be worried about." Since then, Coronavirus has exploded in the United States, boosting demand for a vaccine.
Their cause is anti-family, and anti-freedom; nothing good can come from their policies! At the dinner table my parents are very good at sharing the things that they were doing. He is an end times player par excellence, today you will see the forces that created him as he rose to global power.
However, The Gates family are known Eugenicists and so is Planned Parenthood. Today, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has spent billions on population control in Africa and throughout the Third World. To me, it has always smelled of a blackmail scheme. The researchers say the finding is an important reminder that identifying new viruses in animals and quickly determining their potential to infect people is a key way to reduce global health threats.", Additionally, the Daily Mail reported that National Institutes of Health, of which Fauci's NIAID is a member, provided a $3.7 million grant to the Wuhan Institute of Virology to study bat-borne coronavirus. Bill Gates' Father, 'Head' of Planned Parenthood, Inspired His Abortion, Population Control Views.
Everywhere you look in the current coronavirus pandemic, you see Bill Gates right around the corner. In its settlement, the DoJ abandoned the requirement to break up the company, in return, Microsoft agreed to share computing interfaces with other companies. Bill Gates was born into a family a tremendous wealth, position and power, a family that strongly believed in reducing the global population through medicine, science and abortion. But Fauci's NIAID actually funded a study on Bat Coronavirus, which was a project that included scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, the Chinese lab at the center of controversy over their bat research. The research is published in the journal Nature.
I repeat, FAUCI and HILLARY! DOS was actually written by a 22-year old Tim Paterson (born June 1, 1956). [18], Gates co-authored the book Wealth and Our Commonwealth: Why America Should Tax Accumulated Fortunes with Chuck Collins. As a side note, in 2010, William H. Gates Sr. was also the face of a socialist (communist)-styled State Income Tax Initiative (Initiative 1098), in Washington State. Currently, its genetic technology has not created a vaccine for humans. Get people involved who may or may not even know they are 17 v 18 and then use that as a bargaining chip for other things. The work was a collaboration among scientists from EcoHealth Alliance, Duke-NUS Medical School, Wuhan Institute of Virology and other organizations, and was funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Fauci has heaped praise on Moderna and said that a vaccine is the only way to definitively assure the end of the virus.
Coronavirus response team member Dr. Deborah Birx, appointed by former president Obama to serve as United States Global AIDS Coordinator, also sits on the board of a group that has received billions from Gates' foundation. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID, a division of National Institutes of Health, NIH) director Dr. Anthony Fauci, who is represented by the Aurumn Speakers Bureau, initially criticized Trump's hopeful assessment of Chloroquine, saying in an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper that "There's no magic drug for coronavirus right now," and lectured, "Let me put it into perspective for the viewers .. there has been anecdotal non-proven data that it [chloroquine] works… but when you have an uncontrolled trial you can never definitely say that it works.", Fauci then changed his tune and launched a public relations campaign huddling closer to Trump. If it works we will need to make sure the finite supplies are held for the patients who need it most. Salon reported in 1998 that Gates Sr. was on Planned Parenthood's national board. Instead of seeking to break up the company, the Department of Justice decided to settle with Microsoft.
Bill Gates Parents Were Married for 44 Years Before His Mom's Death in 1994. Howley is currently focusing on the possible politicization of Child Protective Services. But nothing could be further from the truth, as you will see here today. Gates was later appointed to the board of the United Way of America. The truth is that President Donald Trump is locked in an intense power struggle with Bill Gates, who is pushing his vaccines, which may not be available to the public until after November's election.
Gates made that speech while announcing that his foundation was pledging $555 million to health programs across the globe. That would be a bad thing. Bill Gates rebuked proposals, floated over the last two days by leaders like Donald Trump, to reopen the global economy despite the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak, saying that this approach would be "very irresponsible." Hmm, Looks like he is intent on crashing the whole thing. Well, in April of 2003, the Fabian Society, yet another Rockefeller-controlled (globalist) political "think thank", whose original logo was a wolf in sheep's clothing (but is a now a slow-moving turtle), wrote a report entitled, 'Communities In Control'. At the dinner table my parents are very good at sharing the things that they were doing. Dr. Fauci, supports Hillary Clinton: pic.twitter.com/25qiVvklCH, — HRHPrincessPR (@HRHPrincessPR) March 20, 2020, Fauci and fellow Coronavirus response team member Deborah Birx Have Democrat and Globalist Elite Friends Including Gates and Nancy Pelosi, — FreedomIsn'tFree⭐⭐⭐ (@4EverAPatriot) March 24, 2020, FAUCI and HILLARY! The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation gave the Global Fund a $750 million promissory note in 2012. March [email protected] confronted Bill Gates on the safety of vaccines when he was considering a safety commission headed by @RobertKennedyJr to look into the ill effects of vaccines. Mary Gates built a relationship with John Opel, the CEO of IBM, who also served on the United Way board. Save this. Bill Gates' parents, … You could not invent a product for Microsoft would create a competitive and put you out of business.

Do Bed Bugs Traps Actually Work? - The Exterminators Inc.
Do Bed Bugs Traps Actually Work?
Bed bugs have been a huge problem in Toronto recently, there are many reports about the bed bug issue in Toronto Hotels and Universities. The answer to whether bed bug traps actually work depends on what you mean by 'actually work'. If you want to get rid of a bed bug infestation completely, then bed bug traps do not work. If, on the other hand, you want to control the population and keep yourself safe from bites while you sleep or sit on your favourite couch, then bed bug traps do work.
It only takes one female to start a population. A single female can lay up to 500 eggs in her lifetime. For the bed bug trap to be effective, it would have to get rid of every single pest in the house. Although the traps may attract, catch and trap a sizeable number of bed bugs, this is nowhere near close to all the bed bugs that may be living in your home.
Bed bugs are primarily attracted to carbon dioxide and warmth that we give off especially while we sleep. Once a bed bug finds the host, it sends out pheromones to alert others in the area of a suitable place to feed. Bed bugs typically live close to the host usually in the mattress, bed frame or nearby furniture.
Passive Traps: passive traps take advantage of the fact that bed bugs cannot fly or jump and have to crawl to the host. These passive traps attempt to trap bed bugs as they move to and from the feeding site. The trap may be made of a sticky interior and exterior and attaches to the bed or sofa legs. The device entraps bed bugs either climbing up into the bed or sofa or those leaving after a blood meal. The trap does not contain any kind of attractant and relies solely on sticking the bed bugs much like the flypaper concept.
Active Traps: active traps, as the name suggests, actively attract the bed bugs into the trap. The trap emits carbon dioxide and heat while modern versions also emit pheromones to attract the bed bugs. The traps have a rough exterior surface with a shallow incline leading up to a hole at the top and into the trap. The trap's interior is steep and smooth so that the bed bugs cannot crawl out and are trapped inside until removed.
Bed bug traps may vary depending on the manufacturer but the two basic examples are the passive trap that only catches or traps bed bugs on their way to and from the host and active traps that purposely attract the bed bugs.
Bed bug traps may help a little with controlling bed bugs but they are better suited for monitoring purposes. The trap is a good way to tell whether or not you have bed bugs, to monitor the size of the infestation or to check whether pest control is working.
Active bed bug traps are also more successful than their passive counterparts. At the end of the day, bed bug traps are not a stand-alone method of getting rid of pests and can only be used in conjunction with more aggressive options particularly chemicals.
The best way to get rid of bed bugs successfully is to hire a licensed and experienced bed bug exterminator in Toronto. The expert has experience using the most effective treatment for the infestation. Exterminators have potent chemicals that aren't available to the general public and equipment that allows them to treat deep crevices, cracks and other inaccessible areas.
Bed bugs are difficult to eliminate and require multiple treatments and treatment methods and continuing monitoring after the extermination to make sure that the process is effective. Hire an exterminator with a good warranty for the service.

One of the popular places to visit for a day, from Mysore, is the Tibetan Settlement of Bylakuppe near Kushalanagar. A great friend of Manjula and Stephen's is Ani Samten, originally from the States she is a Buddhist nun (that's what Ani means) who's lives at a Monastery in the settlement.
Some of our guests have been really lucky to be able to meet up with Ani and get a personal tour!
Let's hear from Ani Samten herself about that very tour.
"One of my fave jobs at the monastery is giving tours to visiting foreigners.
We have our original, traditionally built/decorated temple, a new temple under construction, an incense-making factory and a statue maker.
I'll take you on a virtual tour, in the same order I take visitors, starting with the old temple.
Welcome to Drikung Kagyudpa Monastic Institute, known as Kagyu Gonpa in the settlement.
The double entry door to the temple.
Notice the rich, vivid colours and how every surface is painted…often in a different colour.
In Tibet, where the landscape can be so stark/barren, it is amazing to see richly painted temples such as this emerge over the crest of a hill.
As in most temples in Tibet, every inch of wall space is painted/covered with thangkas, wall hangings of deities/lamas painted on canvas and framed in brocade.
Left rear is a throne for HH Dalai Lama. Rear of the room is a huge, red Buddha Amitabha statue, encased in glass. To the left of the statue is a photo of our lineage head.
Two of the three drums used in our ceremonies are in the photo, as are both types of cymbals. Three types of horns are used in our ceremonies, but none are in this photos.
A huge thangka of Buddha Amitahba in his Pure Land.
Buddha Amitabha is the Buddha of Infinite Light, and very important to the Phowa practice. Phowa is the transference of consciousness at the time of death. Our lama, H E Choeje Ayang Rinpoche, is a Phowa master.
If you're fortunate there may the opportunity to meet up with Ani if you choose to visit the Tibetan Settlement. For details of how to contact Ani and to arrange a day trip to the Settlement where you'll also find: the Golden Temple, other monasteries, Thangka, carpet and prayer flag workshops. shops in Camp One and restaurants for Tibetan meals.
It isn't admissible to stay after dark in the settlement without a Goverment pass (takes ages) but its prefectly possible to visit for a day trip either from Mysore or Coorg (its just on the edge of Coorg). We can arrange a taxi and if you wish to stay overnight (nearby) we can suggest places.
Do check the map of the settlement drawn by one of our previous guests to help you find your way around.
Ani doesn't charge for her tours but I'm sure a donation to her work at the Monastery would be appreciated.
Do be sure to check out the workshop where they make the statues, it's one of my personal favourites.


If you've ever wanted a little guidance when it comes to learning photography from top to bottom, this DPS post is for you! There's a lot of information out there, and tons of books, tutorials, workshops, etc. to learn from. But it's not always easy to know where to start, or where you should focus your efforts when it comes to really improving your knowledge of the art and craft of photography. With that in mind, here's a "learning road map" I've put together for you that has helped many of my readers. I hope it helps you with your quest to become a better photographer.
First of all, I want to thank you for taking the time to read this. You're probably looking at this right now, excited about the possibility that you might actually learn something new, something that will elevate you as a photographer in some way. Whether you are a beginning photographer, or someone who's been at this for a few years, you probably have the desire to improve on this thing that you love.
Photography means something special to you; it's a kind of magic that allows you to express yourself. It's your way of communicating and sharing with the world. Whether you're doing what you love to earn extra income, or simply for the pure excitement and enjoyment of it, that's reason enough to want to keep improving and learning and growing. It's not only the technical skills, but the psychology and artistic sensibility of what we do as photographers that keeps us constantly in the need to learn and adapt to everything from new gear, to new people/clients, to our own ways of expressing ourselves.
Print this post out. It's your guide and starting point. It can serve as a road map to learning the basics of photography, helping you to build a solid foundation from which to grow and become really good at what you do. I encourage you to use this road map and seek out multiple resources, like DPS, to further your understanding of each topic that follows. My blog, newsletter, video tutorials, and ebooks will also definitely help you learn about these things quickly and in great detail. But I routinely direct people to outside resources as well, because I think it's important to learn from more than one teacher in order to really drive home the knowledge and principles of photography.
I'm very excited about this journey you're on, and it's my goal to do everything in my power to help you get everything you want out of your photography. I'm obsessed with teaching and demonstrating what I've learned and all the new things I continue to learn. I'm sincerely happy that I have another person I can share this excitement with right now. That's you!
Now, we'll begin our discussion of the four topics that I feel are most important in your development as a good photographer: the camera, the lighting, the subject, and post-processing.
The first part of becoming a complete photographer is knowing how your camera works, inside and out. Your camera is the main mode of communication between you and the outside world as a photographer. Like your voice, your photographic vocabulary is extremely limited without some good understanding of how best to tell a story. Put the effort into learning everything about your camera and and it will pay off, big time. Plus, you'll be able to speak intelligently about your craft, and be able to ask the right questions when it comes to the topic of lighting. The camera and the lighting; knowledge of one topic supports an understanding of the other, so you need both. Start with your camera.
Good resources will provide numerous visual examples to help you understand how exposure works. The sequences above are just a few that I use in my eBooks to illustrate the interdependent nature of exposure controls on the camera.
Raw and JPEG. The differences between Raw and JPEG file formats. Learn what the differences are and why one is not always better than the other. For example, I strongly recommend that people shoot in the largest Raw format their cameras produce. But that's not always the practical choice, nor is it always necessary. In general, however, Raw will provide you with the highest quality file from which to work with. From there, you can export out to fine-tuned JPEGs that are sure to produce prints and web display images of excellent quality. But this isn't the whole story, and you should probably investigate what these file formats are capable of, and how they work with your post-processing software, so you can make the most informed decisions according to the demands and limitations of your schedule, software, and client needs.
ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. These are the fundamental components of exposure and a huge topic for photographers. Our cameras are able to keep these three components in check for us in automatic shooting modes, but the auto-metering and exposure mechanisms don't always get it right. Understanding exactly how ISO, aperture, and shutter speed interrelate will give you complete control over exactly how your exposures turn out. You need to understand this topic in order to make educated decisions about how to adjust exposure even when using automatic shooting modes. There are shortcuts to learn, too. But I cannot stress how important it is to get a real, rock-solid, understanding of exposure.
How to do the math of photography. It's easy once you get the hang of it, and it's an essential part of working with all aspects of exposure and lighting. What is this "math" all about? Well, it comes down to how light is measured in photography; we talk about light in terms of "stops" which are traditionally full increments of camera and lighting adjustments. Each stop either doubles or halves the amount of light you're working with. For example, when working with apertures (often talked about in terms of f-stops), moving from one full f-stop of say, f/5.6 to f/8.0 cuts the light entering the camera by half. Likewise, changing your shutter speed from 1/500 sec. to 1/250 sec. allows twice as much light to expose the camera sensor. ISO works the same way; ISO 200 makes your sensor twice as sensitive to the light hitting it as ISO 100. Lighting has a similar math with a few good rules you can follow. Knowing all of this and putting it to use will put you in complete control of your lighting and exposure.
White Balance. Light comes in many different colors, even when it looks white to your eyes, a light source can reproduce as blue, green, or orange. Learn how to control and fix it both in-camera and during post-processing. When you're using different types of light sources together like flash and household incandescent lamps, you'll have to make some decisions about how to handle the difference in light color, if at all.
Shooting modes. Which camera mode do you typically shoot in? There are several to choose from including full automatic, program, aperture priority and shutter priority. There's also manual mode which is very important to know how to use. In fact, for studio-type lighting, manual mode is usually the best choice. Learn what each camera shooting mode does. Each one has a real purpose and knowing how to choose the right one is crucial.
Manual mode. Understand how to use it and gain total control over every aspect of exposure. No, you don't have to shoot in manual mode all the time to be considered a "real" photographer, but for many situations, knowing how to use your camera in manual mode will save you from disaster. Manual mode is also important in studio work and anytime shooting conditions require you to do the thinking when your camera's auto modes aren't cutting it.
Understand all the metering, focusing, and drive modes on your camera. It's easy to find one thing that works and simply stick to it. But sometimes you need to switch things up to get better results as conditions change. Learning what your camera's capabilities are is going to come in handy.
Evaluate and fix your shots. Know how to most effectively use all the tools available on your camera to properly evaluate and adjust your exposures as you're shooting.
Ok, remember the broad list of things you need to learn: camera, lighting, subject, and post-processing? Well the list above is just the CAMERA part! Trust me, I know that part alone can seem overwhelming, and that's why most people never bother to learn it all. That's a real shame, because it's the first part of becoming a complete photographer; you need to know everything about how your camera works.
Fortunately, you don't need to know everything from the start. If you're using your camera in a way that's working for you right now, keep doing that. There's no reason to give that up. But in the meantime, start building on your current understanding and usage of the camera and learn a little bit more as the weeks go on. Soon, everything's going to start coming together and you'll find that you have a total command of the camera. That's the goal. Read the best resources on using your DSLR, and just commit to wanting it. It's going to happen, I promise!
Although setting your camera to one of the auto exposure modes is a great way to solve the immediate problem of getting a properly exposed image, it won't solve your lighting concerns, and it's your lighting that really makes the difference. Many photographers soon realize that what separates their images from better work is the application of good lighting techniques and different types of lighting sources. I would say that the ability to skillfully use lighting is the number one technical skill a photographer should seek to acquire in order to produce good work. Unfortunately, this is also the number one place photographers tend to drop the ball.
Learning how to control your light will allow you to easily create effects like overpowering daylight (above). Here, the right combination of camera settings and flash power create a nighttime effect, even though there is actually bright window light coming into the studio.
Sure, lighting isn't easy at first, and maybe that's why so many photographers just give up on learning how to do it properly. It takes time, experimentation, and a good teacher to help you get to where you need to go with photographic lighting. Good books and tutorials can help you with that. When I teach, my goal is to show readers how to use natural, constant, and flash lighting in a way that really gives them a handle on it quickly.
How light actually behaves. By learning the properties of light, you can easily control the way it can be directed, redirected, and modified to suit your needs.
How light is measured in photography. There's a very easy and powerful math to photographic lighting (which I touched on earlier). It's been around for a long time and has served photographers well. Learning how to measure light is crucial to good lighting and good exposures.
How to use strobe/flash lighting. This is one of the most powerful and convenient types of lighting you can learn to use. Knowing how to use both on-camera and off-camera flash is what separates many photographers. While it's ok to feel comfortable being a "natural light only" photographer, it's also limiting.
Lighting for portraiture. Using your knowledge of lighting will transform your portraiture work to a new level. There are five important lighting patterns you should absolutely know. Starting with a single light source, you can apply these patterns and build upon them to eventually create portraits that take advantage of multiple lights.
Mixing and matching light sources. Make sure to understand how different light sources (although many appear to look white to your eyes) will cause major color shifts in your exposures. You can handle these problems in-camera with good white balance techniques and also during post-processing.
I believe in teaching portraiture in a semi-traditional way; instructing on the fundamentals and quickly moving to a more freestyle approach. An appreciation for traditional lighting patterns and contemporary portraiture will give you a good foundation for all of your portraiture work. But in today's marketplace, the old traditional portraiture isn't the only game in town. Working photographers should look beyond typical portraiture to find ways to differentiate themselves from others. One of the main things I like to stress is that you should start thinking about unconventional posing, directing, lighting, etc. eventually developing your own style.
Great subjects can inspire you to get creative with your posing and lighting techniques. This type of experimentation will help you develop your own unique style.
Again, this all begins with really knowing the fundamentals of lighting, and getting very comfortable with your gear so it becomes an extension of your vision and not something that gets in the way of the creative flow. But simply knowing how to use the tools and basic techniques of your craft isn't enough. You need to let go of the things that hold you back from creating your best work and explore new ways to look at and create portraiture. Yes, the soft skills like working with subjects and clients are important which is why it's one of my favorite things to teach.
Classic Lighting. The basic traditional lighting patterns are classics and always look great. Even if you're the type of photographer who doesn't like to do things the traditional way, get to know the classics because they come in handy and the principles they're based upon apply to ALL types and styles of lighting.
Creative Lighting. I strongly encourage you to go nontraditional, too. Working with your subjects in a way that encourages creativity includes bending and breaking the rules of traditional lighting.
Developing Your Own Style. It's imperative for working photographers to do this in order not to drown in a sea of competition where so many are producing work absent of any unique style or vision. Amateurs have even more reason to explore the artistic areas of portraiture since it is a part of the amateur heritage to do so, and also because they don't have the burden of producing work according to the tastes and needs of paying clients. When I talk about developing your own style, I don't necessarily mean that you can, or should attempt, to do it deliberately. I don't think you can create a true style as much as you can identify it by looking back at your work as time goes on. But in the meantime, take this as a cue to work in a way that is your own.
Portraiture Projects. One of the best ways to expand your body of work, as well as come up with new imagery that you otherwise might not have thought of, is to start a photo art project. Starting with just a simple idea or theme, you might find yourself discovering many different ways to express it. Even a very general concept has a tendency to build on itself as it becomes, at the same time, more defined and diverse. This process of creation and discovery can only enhance your artistic vision and technique.
How to Find Great Subjects. Good models are everywhere, you just have to know how to find them. This is another thing I talk about in my books, but the main message here is that family, friends, and strangers can all make great subjects. You don't always have to look to "model" directory websites to find great people to photograph. I've gotten some of my best results through other means.
How to Direct Your Subjects. Whether your portrait subject is a client or a collaborator in your next artistic vision, it's very important to get them excited and on-board with your ideas for the shoot. They are the actor in your drama, the star of your movie, even if your "theater" is only an ad-hoc studio setup, your subject's confidence and enthusiasm are key ingredients for a successful shoot.
Make Your Work Personal. This is very important. No matter what, or who, you photograph, if you invest something personally in your efforts, it will show. Your work will be less generic and more substantive. It's often said that all portraits are really self-portraits. While it's not always that evident, the truth is that the best portraits happen when you recognize something special as you click the shutter. And what you recognize most often comes from a very personal place.
It can be argued that post-processing happens the moment a digital camera processes the data off the sensor, and certainly when a file is converted, via some programmer's algorithm, for view in a RAW conversion engine common in most digital workflows. Why not make the absolute most of the tools available to you, just as photographers have always done? It used to be darkroom tools, like various ways of developing film and selectively exposing photographic paper during the printing process, which allowed the photographer to enhance or correct problems with an original negative. Now it's digital. Of course you can ruin any photograph with overdone effects or cheesy gimmicks. But used thoughtfully, post-processing techniques can help make a good picture an outstanding one.
Raw Conversion Software. I recommend that you learn how to use Raw conversion software which powers and comes built-in to Adobe's Photoshop and Lightroom products. Working with Raw files has gotten to be a rather seamless part of the normal workflow.
Image Editing. Software like Lightroom and Aperture make organizing and basic editing a breeze. Adobe Photoshop is the standard professional editing (retouching) tool of choice, however, the less expensive Photoshop Elements might have just enough features to allow you to do the type of post-processing you're interested in.
Of course there are also other fun and effective ways to post-process your images, including using some popular mobile device apps. This is one of my favorite topics to cover as I'm a big fan of iPhone photography and mixing DSLR photography with phone photography editing and sharing technologies.
Retouching. Using Photoshop tools like the clone tool, liquify, and healing tools to remove blemishes, tighten up body parts, and otherwise improve the overall look of your portrait subjects. "Photoshopping," "airbrushing," or retouching is so prevalent these days, it's almost expected that you offer this to paying clients as part of the service. You can learn to do at least the basics by watching a few tutorial videos on YouTube, but I suggest you also invest in some basic detailed instruction from books like the popular ones by Martin Evening. Once you get that under your belt, you'll be ready to tackle more advanced topics.
Effects. There are several effects that are popular with photographers these days, including texturing, compositing, and alternative color processing and black and white conversions. Some effects can be purchased as presets and actions making them simple to apply. However, I recommend you also learn how to create and manipulate images directly so you'll know exactly how to get the looks you want and make them unique.
Image Preparation. You'll also want to know the best ways to prepare your images for use in various applications like prints of specific sizes, on-line web galleries, distribution and presentation on the web, etc. Knowing the ins-and-outs of image resolution and quality settings will help you make the most of your photography. After all, what good is all the work you've done up to this point if you don't know how to best present your images in the end?
I realize there's a lot of information in this post. At the same time, it's not complete, just one general outline based on my experience and teaching methods. But I strongly encourage you to find your place on this map and start navigating your way through it. It will take some time, but that's one of the best things about photography, the discovery.

Well the clocks have changed and we are officially in spring, and it feels like there's exciting change in the air over here at NURTURE HQ. We are pleased to announce that, later this year, we will be launching NURTURE Baby Club. A digital content subscription for parents who want to help their little ones thrive. With bespoke monthly updates on your little one's development from pregnancy and through the first year of life, including tips on simple things you can do to support them, articles on key age-relevant topics, and product reviews. And all of this for free. Sound right up your street? You can sign up already.
And we're all about collaboration, we'd love you to get involved in shaping this. We're keen to know what you want more of, or what's missing, from the apps and websites you currently use – we'd love to hear your thoughts in our 3 minute questionnaire. We're also running a brunch for parents on Friday 26th April if any of you are London based and interested in getting involved – just pop us an email.
Other excitements this month have of course included Mother's Day, when we reflected on how our own Mother's nurtured who we have become today. We hope all the Mamas out there were suitably pampered. And we were delighted ourselves to send a beautiful spring bouquet from Bloom & Wild to our competition winner Jim mum.
We've also been flooded with lovely feedback from some of our first ever customers, and we're loving receiving all the of awesome pics of NURTURE Mobile in situ. Do tag us when you share your own photos of your little one enjoying our mobile using @nurturebabyco_ and #NurtureBaby. We love to see those happy little faces (and all the gorgeous nursery décor – you're a tasteful bunch!).
Finally, as you might have seen earlier this year, new guidance was recently published about screen usage with infants and toddlers. It's such a massive topic for our generation of parents – an issue which just didn't exist 10 years ago. And there's frustratingly little evidence to make any strong claims or give any really solid guidance. Yet it's a source of constant anxiety for a lot of parents. I decided to sink my teeth in and tackle it head on in Cut the (baby) Crap this month. Hope you find it an interesting read. If you do, as always, please share it.
PS. My next update might include a new little addition to the NURTURE family – 34 weeks and counting!


What do the Fast and Furious movies, hip hop, and Roadie have in common? All three have been improved by the involvement of rapper, producer, actor, entrepreneur Chris "Ludacris" Bridges.
But what is Roadie? And why did Ludacris invest? Let's take a look.


It's official. We can formally begin the countdown until Nov. 25, 2016, when the Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix is released. What's that? You've already been doing that? OK, same. Either way, the trailer for the much anticipated revival is here, and there is no doubt that it is going to leave you humming the trailer song, as well as asking a couple of important questions. For instance, are Lorelai and Luke married in the Gilmore Girls revival? The trailer certainly raises the question, since there isn't a ring on Lorelai's finger. Then again, this is Lorelai Gilmore we're talking about — one to never quite form to tradition.
In the first teaser trailer for the revival — when Rory and Lorelai were talking about Amy Schumer and John Oliver — fans noticed that there wasn't a ring on Lorelai's finger. While this wasn't anything too alarming, it was something to take notice of. Did this mean that Lorelai and Luke were not married? Did this just mean that Lorelai scoffed at tradition and chose to keep a wedding band as far away from her hand as possible? Or, did it just mean that this was a teaser and it wasn't as involved as some fans (read: me) wanted it to be?
Well, the new trailer (the full, two-plus minute one where we see the whole town again!) only furthers these theories about a potential marriage between Lorelai and Luke. In the trailer, Lorelai is sans ring. But, for some reason, that's not that upsetting or shocking to me. Lorelai is a free bird. She does what she wants, and doesn't really care what others think. If anyone said no to an engagement/wedding ring, it would be Lorelai (by way of Luke).
There is no doubt that come November we'll have answers as to where our favorite relationships stand. There is no doubt we'll learn if Lorelai and Luke are married, and we'll hopefully see just how far their relationship has grown since we left them in Stars Hollow many years ago.

Is The Fall Of G4TV Near?
If you grew up in the 90's or was a gamer in the early 2000's, there was one channel that you tuned into watch, that channel was G4TV. Now I won't get into how great G4TV was, mainly because I wrote an article of the great days of G4TV /www.otakusandgeeks.com/akusandgeeks.com/2010/08/what-happen-to-g4tv.html. However there have been past events and mainly recent events that have us questioning is this the end of G4TV? Not the great website, but the channel.
G4 gets pulled from Direct TV - I think this was a big hit for the once great channel. Getting pulled from Direct TV cuts a big percentage of their viewership, not everyone has Cable. Not being able to be seen through satellite TV is a big lost for any channel, and if your viewers can't see you how can your ratings stay up. With lost ratings, comes the lost of shows.
G4 Cancels Shows Catering To Their Audience - When your channel is brought or the corporate bosses decide to just say, screw whatever made your channel great and begins putting crap like "Cops" and "Cheaters" instead of shows like "Cheat", "Code Monkeys" and many more. It would be inevitable that viewers will start to tune out if all you have to offer us is "X-Play" and "Attack Of The Show." Imagine coming to Otakus and Geeks and we're not talking about Anime, Videogames, Comics, Films, etc. Instead we're talking about politics , our views on religion etc. You wouldn't come here anymore mainly because it has nothing to do with the subject matter of the site.
Olivia Munn Leaves Attack Of The Show - Geeks say what you want about Olivia Munn, some say she sold out, some say she was a poser using geek culture to get her name out there, regardless of what you think of Munn, there is no doubt she was awesome on "Attack Of The Show." Munn brought charm, charisma and she had wonderful chemistry with her co host Kevin Pereira. When Munn left to progress her career she took some of her audience with her, watching "Attack Of The Show" wasn't the same. The show was still entertaining but it was like playing Zelda without the Master Sword, something was missing.
Adam Sessler & Kevin Pereira Leaves G4TV - When your top guys call it quits, we have to question what's going on and why? Recently Adam Sessler and Kevin Periera said goodbye to G4 (Kevin at the end of May) and now questions are being raised. Why would they leave? What is going over there at G4 to make these veterans say I'm out? The influence of Sessler behind and in the front lines is a big lost and with the main host of "Attack Of The Show" leaving what will the show be like? Will fans embrace a new host? What is the future of X-Play? What is the future of G4 with so many key players gone? Is this the fall of G4TV? What do you think? Sound off in the comment section.
