We had some consistently subfreezing temperatures in January of 2016 and I took a number of images of the ice in the bird bath and also put out a shallow baking pan of water to freeze and then shot through it with the sky behind. I tried a variety of artistic treatments that gave the fancy colors to some of these.

The antecedents of the Carreras business began trading in the eighteenth century (the company's products and advertising materials consistently bore the motto 'Established 1788'), and forebears of the founder’s family were Spanish apothecaries. The founder of the business was a Spanish nobleman, Don José Carreras Ferrer, who fought in the Peninsular War under the Duke of Wellington (1808–1814). After serving and receiving the highest military honours, it is believed he was obliged to leave Spain on account of his political views.
In 1881, the first cigarette-making machine was patented in the United States by James Bonsack, and by 1883 one of the British manufacturers, W. D. & H. O. Wills, had pioneered the use of the Bonsack machine in England. Wills joined with twelve other companies to form the Imperial Tobacco Group, from which both Rothmans and Carreras chose to remain independent, and by 1901 the Bonsack machine, making 200 cigarettes a minute, was exclusively available only to members of this Group. Around this time another of the cigarette machine makers, Bernhard Baron, had returned to London from the United States in 1896 with a patent for a new machine which could make 450 cigarettes a minute. Baron's progress was watched with interest by Mr. Yapp who was by then running the Carreras business but who was keen to make cigarettes a paying venture.
Having been unable to sell his machines to the newly formed Imperial Tobacco Company, which had a monopoly on the Bonsack machines, Yapp was able to negotiate a business arrangement with Baron in 1903. On 6 June 1903, Carreras became a public company with Yapp and Baron as directors and, under the leadership of Bernhard Baron, heralded the beginnings of competition for the Imperial Tobacco Group and the new American maker, James Buchanan Duke, who was also capturing large slices of the British market with Ogden’s Guinea Gold, the first Virginia cigarette made in England. The original Carreras prospectus was heavily criticised in the City press, but within a short time, the shares were fully subscribed, particularly by members of the tobacco trade, who saw potential in the new venture. The Baron family had a reputation as good employers who treated their staff well.[citation needed] Bernhard Baron would walk amongst his employees daily, enquiring after their families, and his son, Louis, and his grandson, Maurice, also made regular visits to the factory floor. A tradition developed that on Bernhard's birthday, each December, all employees were given two weeks' wages and a cake to take home.
In 1904, an allied company was established. Called Carreras and Marcianus Ltd and operating from St James's Place, Aldgate EC3, the former Baron Machine Company works, the company’s purpose was to commence production of machine-made cigarettes. During the last six months of 1904 three brands made their debut, including Black Cat, the first cigarette in the United Kingdom to contain coupons that were redeemable for gifts.
In 1905 yet more brands were introduced such as Chick, Jetty, and Sweet Kiss and Carreras began coupon trading in Black Cat. The business prospered and in 1906 additional premises were opened nearby, introducing new brands such as Carreras Ovals and Seven Up. Baron chose many novel schemes for the promotion of Carreras’ pipe tobacco and cigarette brands. In 1909, the company introduced the Baron automatic pipe filler in cartridges, which revolutionised pipe smoking and sold by the millions.
In 1921, after the launch of Craven A, Carreras launched more brands such as Wall Arms, Piccadilly, and Turf. By 1927 the business had outgrown the Arcadia premises in City Road; the war had increased demand for cigarettes. In 1928, the famous Arcadia Works was opened in Mornington Crescent NW1, formerly a favourite residence of artists and writers. This building, which has become a major London landmark, was unusual in its design. It was the first factory in Britain to make use of pre-stressed concrete technology, and the first to contain air conditioning and a dust extraction plant. The company was also the first to provide full welfare services for its employees.[citation needed] The Arcadia Works was often visited by royalty, including the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, King George VI when he was the Duke of York, and the Duke of Kent. Many other important visitors from every part of the globe were entertained at Mornington Crescent. Leading to the entrance of the building were two large bronze cats.[3] Cast at the Haskins Foundry in London, these versions of the Egyptian god Bastet were each eight feet six inches tall and stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with Rothmans of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in Basildon, Essex. The cats were separated, with one making the short journey to Essex, while the other went to be displayed outside the Carreras factory at Spanishtown, Jamaica.
I haven't been consistent with these, obviously #5months #matildabear | Tagged by Melissa Brown Fort
These micro photos are all found on the same stone in this series, and this is confirmed by the consistent component style of execution consistent from micro image to micro image using the same pigment materials and combination pigment mixtures . The pattern of micro images on this stone seem to show various different kinds of portals. This micro photo at 35x's magnification show a line of at least three similarly structured celestial mounds; one mound up close on the far right, and then two following of relatively the same size in a lateral diagonal leftward. This image diorama appears to be explaining the process of ancient energy grid mounds advancing across a plateau in a line; similar in theory to a modern Power Line for electricity. If you study the content of the first mound ridge it appears to be highly complex, and actually similar in structure to the first mound in the Album "Diagrams of an ancient North American Mound". The diagrams of ancient mounds are constructed in a similar pattern that can't be ignored filled with repeating symbols on a micro level; and these diagrams appear to mirror the concept of "Spherical Geometry", including a small teal micro filament leading into a Black Hole in the center with a micro luminescent point just above the black spherical hole. The first crescent arch mound has two progressive layers of celestial arches with a triad of symbols perhaps representing 3 sections of our galaxy.
Notice the grouping of pyramidal structures on the arched peak of the first mound descending along a stellar parallax curve originating from the celestial sphere within the mound on the left side of the mound; not that different from establishing a center point with the center of a spherical circle. Just above the white sphere on the left is a serpentine symbol near identical to another serpentine symbol also found within the micro diagrams on this stone. On each stone on this site is an accumulation of micro images similar to words and sentences on the pages of a very large modern book.
Micro images like this one take time to digest because of the complexity and extreme small scale of the images. How could anyone have ever predicted these complex micro images to be found embedded within pigments applications on an ancient Energy Grid Mound in North America???
There's consistent sideways trading with lots of clearly defined waves. Currently heading towards the common resistance at 74. Continual high OBV suggests an increasing strength in the trend that could be enough to break through the 74 resistance. The squeeze also suggests the strengthening in this trend from its rising blue bars. Today it blew right through the 78.6 fib level which is a bullish indication. Although there's resistance at 74 I suggest buying calls now and riding it till the next fib level at 200% which is at 81. Conservatives can wait for it to blow through the 74 resistance and then buy calls, but be weary since once it breaks through resistance that'll become support that it'll test.

Eliza Quek consistently delivers excellent customer service to both her peers and customers. She is often complimented by customers for her “above and beyond” service aptitude.
Once, a customer whose credit card got retained at Orchard Central sought help from Eliza at Orchard branch. He was in dire straits because he needed to purchase things urgently with that credit card, which was the only accepted card in Singapore. Upon hearing the customer’s situation, Eliza immediately alerted her branch’s CSMs. While CSM Jenny was liaising with EB Ops on the urgent arrangement for CISCO to retrieve the card from the machine and to get it delivered to Orchard branch, Eliza was quick to reassure customer and promised to keep him updated on any developments. Within two hours, the customer successfully collected his credit card from the branch and commented “I got my card again. Perfect. Thanks a lot!” Eliza’s empathy and prompt action saved the day for the customer.
Eliza’s proactiveness and unselfish service mindset have benefited many customers, one of whom complimented “excellent service, much better than the other banks that I know”. Not only did Eliza impress her customers with her exceptional service delivery, she is regarded as an exemplar of service excellence for her peers.

This a second film with my Nikon F4 to test further of its numerous functions. In particular, I would like to test the DX ISO coding, the spot metering, and the motorized film rewind. During the first test film I used mostly my external lightmeter Minolta Autometer III to check that the metering of the camera was consistent with. Here, I decided I leave the Autometer at home and to use only the Nikon F4 metering.
The Nikon F4 was loaded with a Rollei RPX100 which is the former Agfa APX100 well-known for the particular large tone range. From view 1 to 24, the AF Nikkor lens 1:1.4 f=50mm was fitted with a Yellow screw-on 52mm filter and from view 25 to the end with a Hoya HMC anti-UV protection filter. A generic cylindric metal shade hood was used all the time.
The film sensitivity was set by the camera automatically from the DX code of the Rollei RPX100 35mm cartridge. The first test film was a Fomapan 200 which is not DX coded. The Nikon F4 allows a manual ISO setting. In the DX mode, if no cartridge is present or if a not DX-coded cartridge is inserted, a red LED is blinking and not action of the shutter is possible.
The spot metering in the Nikon F4 if located behind the mirror in the reflex chamber and combined with the CCD focus sensor. The the matrix and center averaged mode is operated by different photo-diodes in the removable DP-20 photometric viewer. I mostly used the spot metering mode in my usual way, privileging the shadows. I saw that the matrix mode gave very closed results. The measure were usually manually reported to the camera in the "M" mode except for one view (Nr. 3) where I left the Nikon choosing the shutter speed (approx. 1/3000s) according to the aperture (full aperture in this case f/1.4).
As for my medium-format session, I took a bit of time to note on a session ticket the main parameter (shutter speed, aperture, focusing distance). The weather was still very mild and sunny during all the session in the afternoon.

After completion, the film was rewound using the rewinding motor (lever R1 then lever R2). During the film rewind (manual or auto) the view counter decrements and I switched-off the R2 lever just arrived at zero. I terminated the process manual to keep the film leader outside the cartridge.
I then processed the film developed using 300 mL of Adox Adonal (Agfa Rodinal) developer prepared at the dilution 1+25 for 9min at 20°C.
Digitizing was made using a Sony A7 camera (ILCE-7, 24MP) held on a Minolta Auto Bellows with the Minolta slide duplication accessory and Minolta Macro Bellow lens 1:3.5 f=50mm. The light source was a LED panel CineStill Cine-lite.
The RAW files obtained were inverted within the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic version 14 and edited to the final jpeg pictures without intermediate file. They are presented either as printed files with frame or the full size JPEG's together with some documentary smartphone color pictures.
The results show that the Nikon F4 spot metering is perfectly calibrated and consistent with my traditional way to determine the exposition. The DX coding. is operating correctly but no confirming indication of the ISO value is displayed on the camera (excepted the blinking red LED if the DX code is not correctly detected). As for all SLR's of this generation, a small window on the left-side of the camera back allows the reading of the film characteristics. All the light-tight foams are in perfect order for a camera of this age (35-year old).
Overall this second session with the Nikon F4 confirms that the camera is very pleasant to use despite its 1.7kg (fitted with its standard 1.4/50mm). The minimalistic Nikon neck strap remains comfortable and well proportionated to the camera. It's areal joy to use.

About the camera :
Maybe it would have been better not to ask for this question: « what’s new do you have at the moment?» to my local photo store, because Christine grab underneath the counter, stating « I have that … » . What a beast ! A Nikon F4 in the exact state of the Nikon brochure year 1990, presented with the standard AF Nikkor 1:1.4 f=50mm. I was already hooked by the machine. After two days, I decided to buy it even with some little common issues found on early Nikon F4 (see below), fortunately not affecting the whole, numberous functions of this incredibly complex professional SLR of the year 1990’s.
Nikon F4 came to the market on September 1988 starting with the serial number 2.000.000. Fully manufactured in Japan (modules came from 3 different Nikon factories) the F4's were assembled in Mito, Ibaraki (North to Tokyo) Nikon plant (no more in the mother factory of Tokyo Oi like the Nikon’s F). When I lived in Tokyo in 1990-1991, Nikon F4 was the top-of-the-line of Nikon SLR camera’s. I saw it in particular in Shinjuku Bic Camera store when I bought there, in December 1990 my Nikonos V.
Nikon F4 incorporates many astonishing engineering features as the double vertical-travel curtain shutter capable of the 1/8000s. Compared to the Nikon F3, the F4 was an AF SLR operated by a CCD sensor (200 photo sites). The film is automatically loaded, advanced with to top speed of 5,7 frame/s !! With the MB-21 power grip (F4s version). The F4 is a very heavy camera (1.7kg with the AF Nikkor 1.4/50mm), incredibly tough and well constructed. This exemplary is devoid of any scratches or marks, and in a condition proving that it was not used for hard professional appliances, for those it was however intended. The camera has still it original Nikon neck strap, the original user manual in French. The lens is protected by a Cokin (Franc) Skylight 1A 52mm filter and the original Nikon front cap. The two small LCD displays (one on the F4 body, one in the DP-20 finder) are both affected by the classical syndrome of « bleeding ». Fortunately, all information could still be read. One says that 70% of the early Nikon F4 suffer from this problem but also found on other models.
According its serial number and the production rate of about 5000 units/month, this Nikon F4s was probably manufactured in Mito, Ibaraki, Japan in May 1989.
autismtip BE CONSISTENT. Children with autism have a hard time adapting what they’ve learned in one setting (such as the therapist’s office or school) to others, including the home. For example, your child may use sign language at school to communicate, but never think to do so at home.

Singapore Zoo ranks consistently (after San Diego Zoo) as one of the best in the world.
There are currently about 300 species of animals across 28 hectares of lush rainforest. This is possible without a feeling of crowding because of the layering, with lemurs wandering freely, and orangutans and gibbons swinging high above the ground while the visitors watch from below. This concept is epitomised in the Fragile Forest, a 20,000 cubic metre bio-dome that mimics a tropical rainforest teeming with life at every level.

Having been unable to sell his machines to the newly formed Imperial Tobacco Company, which had a monopoly on the Bonsack machines, Yapp was able to negotiate a business arrangement with Baron in 1903. On 6 June 1903, Carreras became a public company with Yapp and Baron as directors and, under the leadership of Bernhard Baron, heralded the beginnings of competition for the Imperial Tobacco Group and the new American maker, James Buchanan Duke, who was also capturing large slices of the British market with Ogden’s Guinea Gold, the first Virginia cigarette made in England. The original Carreras prospectus was heavily criticised in the City press, but within a short time, the shares were fully subscribed, particularly by members of the tobacco trade, who saw potential in the new venture. The Baron family had a reputation as good employers who treated their staff well.[citation needed] Bernhard Baron would walk amongst his employees daily, enquiring after their families, and his son, Louis, and his grandson, Maurice, also made regular visits to the factory floor. A tradition developed that on Bernhard's birthday, each December, all employees were given two weeks' wages and a cake to take home.
In 1904, an allied company was established. Called Carreras and Marcianus Ltd and operating from St James's Place, Aldgate EC3, the former Baron Machine Company works, the company’s purpose was to commence production of machine-made cigarettes. During the last six months of 1904 three brands made their debut, including Black Cat, the first cigarette in the United Kingdom to contain coupons that were redeemable for gifts.
In 1905 yet more brands were introduced such as Chick, Jetty, and Sweet Kiss and Carreras began coupon trading in Black Cat. The business prospered and in 1906 additional premises were opened nearby, introducing new brands such as Carreras Ovals and Seven Up. Baron chose many novel schemes for the promotion of Carreras’ pipe tobacco and cigarette brands. In 1909, the company introduced the Baron automatic pipe filler in cartridges, which revolutionised pipe smoking and sold by the millions.
In 1921, after the launch of Craven A, Carreras launched more brands such as Wall Arms, Piccadilly, and Turf. By 1927 the business had outgrown the Arcadia premises in City Road; the war had increased demand for cigarettes. In 1928, the famous Arcadia Works was opened in Mornington Crescent NW1, formerly a favourite residence of artists and writers. This building, which has become a major London landmark, was unusual in its design. It was the first factory in Britain to make use of pre-stressed concrete technology, and the first to contain air conditioning and a dust extraction plant. The company was also the first to provide full welfare services for its employees.[citation needed] The Arcadia Works was often visited by royalty, including the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, King George VI when he was the Duke of York, and the Duke of Kent. Many other important visitors from every part of the globe were entertained at Mornington Crescent. Leading to the entrance of the building were two large bronze cats.[3] Cast at the Haskins Foundry in London, these versions of the Egyptian god Bastet were each eight feet six inches tall and stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with Rothmans of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in Basildon, Essex. The cats were separated, with one making the short journey to Essex, while the other went to be displayed outside the Carreras factory at Spanishtown, Jamaica.
The antecedents of the Carreras business began trading in the eighteenth century (the company's products and advertising materials consistently bore the motto 'Established 1788'), and forebears of the founder’s family were Spanish apothecaries. The founder of the business was a Spanish nobleman, Don José Carreras Ferrer, who fought in the Peninsular War under the Duke of Wellington (1808–1814). After serving and receiving the highest military honours, it is believed he was obliged to leave Spain on account of his political views.
In 1881, the first cigarette-making machine was patented in the United States by James Bonsack, and by 1883 one of the British manufacturers, W. D. & H. O.

For five years of my life, I was consistently immersed in the lives of the dead. It began in 2019, when a sudden fascination sent me visiting hundreds of children's gravestones. Those short, sad stories had such a pull on me, scattered through smalltown cemeteries. I was enraptured with the way they demanded getting low on their level to read names and dates, lying flat with the world whirling big in a way it hadn't since I was small. As I made my last visits through the fall of 2020, I became aware of the vast array of abandoned cemeteries unseen. Through the next couple years, dozens of sites discovered filled my head with obituaries, tangled nature, weathered history, and the wonderful weight of death giving you something to live for. Some were easily uncovered, others months in the finding, and most made me feel more alive than I had in a while. Some of those wanderings made it to my 2023 book: The Dead Die Twice — though they easily could've filled a couple more.
The subsequent year and a half found me speaking across the province on matters of memory and mortality. My last talk on that subject was in early 2025 to students at Dalhousie University, where my book was required reading for the Religious Studies winter semester. Taking a break from lost lives has been something of a relief. Even though all things historic inevitably involve the dead, there's something less direct with, say, a derelict building, vehicle, road, or tunnel. Only a gravesite is purely about an individual demise. The rest tell tales stretched over several lifetimes, and feel freer to include me, the explorer. But I'll never shake loose the gentle grip that the dead have got on me. When I come here to the Old Tremont Cemetery, it's always a climb up the hilltop, right to the treeline, to look down on an array of ends. Visitors are fewer, with most of the lost less recent. At the close of a chilling but sunny day, dry ground holds enough heat to justify a rest. I don't have to leave any sooner than I'd like.

The antecedents of the Carreras business began trading in the eighteenth century (the company's products and advertising materials consistently bore the motto 'Established 1788'), and forebears of the founder’s family were Spanish apothecaries.

The infant mortality rate in Gaza has risen for the first time in more than half a century, a new study by the United Nations aid agency for Palestinian refugees says. “The number of babies dying before the age of one has consistently gone down over the last decades in Gaza, from 127 per 1,000 live births in 1960 to 20.2 in 2008. At the last count, in 2013, it had risen to 22.4 per 1,000 live births,” a statement from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency said. “Every five years UNRWA conducts a survey of infant mortality across the region, and the 2013 results were released this week,” it said, adding that because of the data it would conduct a new Gaza-specific survey this year.

This behavior provides people bad information and may cause someone to buy... at The failure of loan mods caused a new wave of foreclosures

hostel. From the very beginning the position of the SFI-AISF had been to oppose any misuse of the university land for corporate promotion and replacement of our Dhabas by corporate outlets. W1th this perspective the earlier JNUSUs led by the SFI-AISF had opposed the proposals for the conversion of the Ganga Dhaba into a shopping plaza. In the case of the Nescafe outlet, the JNUSU had opposed the proposal initially on the grounds that university land should not be given for any outlet selling products unaffordable for the majority of the students. It was because of this opposition that Nestle was forced to bnng the price structure in line with rates generally prevailing in tile campt r$. But the o:her part of our objectton regarding .
the use of our land for corporate oropaganda has not be~n heeded upon. This is evident from th~ way in which the Nescafe .
outlet has been constructed-with big glow signboards and barbed wire fencing-which are totally rnconsistent with the JNU .
:thos. Last night's Council meeting endorsed our position that this advertising paraphernalia should be romoved immediately and the contract on tha basis or which the outlet has been constructed should be thoroughly reviewed In order to ensure that there is no misuse of public spaces for corporate advertising and that products other than .
those manufactured by Nestle be sold in the outlet. Also, the Council called for the formulation of a policy to ensure .
that public spaces ars not used for coq:>orate advertising anywhere in the .uniyersity. . . While the decision of the JNUSU 1s welcome, the role played by organ1sat1ons like NSUI and AISA rn thrs regard has 's pamphlet has suddenly thought it to be convelilent.
exposed their hypocrisy and political bankruptcy. The NSUI in yesterday' unions rn other.
to give lip service against corporatisation. It Is the same NS~I which practi~lly sells off the studentsuniversities by taking sponsorships from the MNCs thereby the1r leaders earnrng some ensy money under the table It rs .
indeed ironical that the NSUI I~ opposing a Nescafe cutiet in JNU w1111e their Admrssion Assistance booths tn DU are sponsored by the same brand. JNU students do not need to learn how to oppose MNCs from such an organ1sauon whose .
parent party leaders have sold off the country to the IMF-WB and MNCs. .
The AISA on the other hand, did a complete volte face in last night's council meeting by quietly dropping its .
demand for the cancellation of the Nestle outlet and agreeing to a charter of demands which calls for a "thorough .
review" of the contract to ensure that students' demands are met. While it is welcome that the AISA h?.s ultimately seen the light on this matter, they owe the student community an explanation for taking the community for a ride through the unprincipled and Irrational stand they had taken on the Issue in the past few days. In fact the ideologiCCil .
confuston of the AISA on this issue Is evident from their pamphlet of last night. They have been forced to admrt that the .
tncreased hold of MNCs is a result of the neo-libera! poH::es being pursued by the government. Yet, while they accept the .
1mpact of these policies In KC, their pamphlet says that this does not necessarily apply near Tapti. Are the revolutionary .
cumrades of the AISA under the illusion that the area near Tapti has been already been turned into a liberated zone where .
the writ of the India government does not run and the impact of its anti-people policies is not felt? AISA's earlier demand for a cancellation of the contract with the outfit amounted to demanding a selecttve ban on the .
sale of g0ods in specific outlets at a time when the same goods are berng otherwise general!y sold and used rn the e2mpus Rc;ther than strengthen the f1ght against the inroads made by MNC:; and other imr·oerialist tr. .c:rests at the levt:l of policy and .
mass mobilizations, such demands for bans represent oniy wishful chink1ng for short-cuts in the political-ideological struggle In fact in order to place their pseudo-revolutionary zeal a~ an apology for their absence from all the struggles led by the JNUSU they have gone to the exter~t of ridiculing the important achievements of the student community in terms of ATM. .
bank daft facility etc. The opening of a Nestle outlet can in no way be equated with these long-standing demands of the .
student community. The JNUSU cannot dictate the consumption patterns of individual students. Its duty is to defend the public spaces and etho$ of the community as a whole. Recognizing this duty the SFI·AISF had throughout struggled to ensure strict pnce controls on all shops/canteens rn the campus. On the other hand yesterday's AISA pamphlet says. ·the first lesson of political economy tell you that MNCs are capable of selling their products at much cheaper rates...·. Is the AI SA tryrng to g1vc an apology on behalf of the .
MNCs to let them come to the markets? The experience of MNC outlets in other universities is quite the opposite where huge prices are charged and MNCs virtually control every aspect of cultural life through sponsorships. The AISA demeanrng thrs fight against the MNCs that the students of this campus have fought under ti1e JNUSU banner where we do not allow our .
public domain being taken over by MNCs and have maintained a price structure affordable for all. Interestingly, they forget their own lesson of polltlcal economy on that very night when the General Secretary from AISA signed a notice of.
.
the JNUSU which says "the price structure of the outlet must be regulated to keep it in line with prices generally prevailing In the campus''. .
While waxing eloquent about the way MNCs dictate ddmand patterns, AISA pamphlet is oblivious to the fact that the..
takmg ov.er of public spaces for corporate propaganda is one of the maJor ways in whrch this manufacturing of demand .
wor~s. It IS the SFI-AISF which has consistently called for a comprehensive policy to be deveioped to counter such misuse of public spaces, a demand that AJSA pooh-poohed in its pamphlet yesterday. Yet. once agarn wrsdom seems to have dawned late and the General Secretary ha~ signed a notice demanding that All holands of its last pamphlet c.nd tl1'at of rts office-bearers in yesterday'.
ultras'. We app~al. to all democratic.and progressive-minded students to reject such opportunistic forces and rally behind the JNUSU for a pnnc1pled struggle aga1nst corporate infiltraticn. .

The flash was consistently diffused through a white cap diffuser on the end of the flash.
There were three light sources used in this shot.
The first was the diffused flash angled behind and to the side left of the subject to blowout the background and backlight/light her hair.
The second was an un-diffused flash which the subject held and pointed directly at a white reflector to the front side right of her. The reflector was angled opposite the backlight.
The third light was simply an overhead fan.
After consistently misjudging the hour of sunrise on my trip to Vietnam, I finally got it right and set my alarm for 4:30 am. I quickly gathered my things and headed downstairs, only to find my hotel locked and the reception desk empty. I stood in near tears in the lobby as I watched the pre-dawn light adjust the color of the sky through the window. Fortunately, a couple who had an early bus to catch came downstairs and tackled the task of waking the hotel staff to let them out. Once I had broken free from my cage, I quickly made my way to the Thu Bon River, where I was finally able to collar some early morning serenity.
The encampment was set up to protest APEC's continual and consistent attacks on indigenous populations everywhere. Steal the land (mineral rights, and logging too, of course) and dispose of the people.
The antecedents of the Carreras business began trading in the eighteenth century (the company's products and advertising materials consistently bore the motto 'Established 1788'), and forebears of the founder’s family were Spanish apothecaries. The founder of the business was a Spanish nobleman, Don José Carreras Ferrer, who fought in the Peninsular War under the Duke of Wellington (1808–1814). After serving and receiving the highest military honours, it is believed he was obliged to leave Spain on account of his political views.
In 1881, the first cigarette-making machine was patented in the United States by James Bonsack, and by 1883 one of the British manufacturers, W. D. & H. O. Wills, had pioneered the use of the Bonsack machine in England. Wills joined with twelve other companies to form the Imperial Tobacco Group, from which both Rothmans and Carreras chose to remain independent, and by 1901 the Bonsack machine, making 200 cigarettes a minute, was exclusively available only to members of this Group. Around this time another of the cigarette machine makers, Bernhard Baron, had returned to London from the United States in 1896 with a patent for a new machine which could make 450 cigarettes a minute. Baron's progress was watched with interest by Mr. Yapp who was by then running the Carreras business but who was keen to make cigarettes a paying venture.
Having been unable to sell his machines to the newly formed Imperial Tobacco Company, which had a monopoly on the Bonsack machines, Yapp was able to negotiate a business arrangement with Baron in 1903. On 6 June 1903, Carreras became a public company with Yapp and Baron as directors and, under the leadership of Bernhard Baron, heralded the beginnings of competition for the Imperial Tobacco Group and the new American maker, James Buchanan Duke, who was also capturing large slices of the British market with Ogden’s Guinea Gold, the first Virginia cigarette made in England. The original Carreras prospectus was heavily criticised in the City press, but within a short time, the shares were fully subscribed, particularly by members of the tobacco trade, who saw potential in the new venture. The Baron family had a reputation as good employers who treated their staff well.[citation needed] Bernhard Baron would walk amongst his employees daily, enquiring after their families, and his son, Louis, and his grandson, Maurice, also made regular visits to the factory floor. A tradition developed that on Bernhard's birthday, each December, all employees were given two weeks' wages and a cake to take home.
In 1904, an allied company was established. Called Carreras and Marcianus Ltd and operating from St James's Place, Aldgate EC3, the former Baron Machine Company works, the company’s purpose was to commence production of machine-made cigarettes. During the last six months of 1904 three brands made their debut, including Black Cat, the first cigarette in the United Kingdom to contain coupons that were redeemable for gifts.
In 1905 yet more brands were introduced such as Chick, Jetty, and Sweet Kiss and Carreras began coupon trading in Black Cat. The business prospered and in 1906 additional premises were opened nearby, introducing new brands such as Carreras Ovals and Seven Up. Baron chose many novel schemes for the promotion of Carreras’ pipe tobacco and cigarette brands. In 1909, the company introduced the Baron automatic pipe filler in cartridges, which revolutionised pipe smoking and sold by the millions.
In 1921, after the launch of Craven A, Carreras launched more brands such as Wall Arms, Piccadilly, and Turf. By 1927 the business had outgrown the Arcadia premises in City Road; the war had increased demand for cigarettes. In 1928, the famous Arcadia Works was opened in Mornington Crescent NW1, formerly a favourite residence of artists and writers. This building, which has become a major London landmark, was unusual in its design. It was the first factory in Britain to make use of pre-stressed concrete technology, and the first to contain air conditioning and a dust extraction plant. The company was also the first to provide full welfare services for its employees.[citation needed] The Arcadia Works was often visited by royalty, including the Duke of Windsor when he was the Prince of Wales, King George VI when he was the Duke of York, and the Duke of Kent. Many other important visitors from every part of the globe were entertained at Mornington Crescent. Leading to the entrance of the building were two large bronze cats.[3] Cast at the Haskins Foundry in London, these versions of the Egyptian god Bastet were each eight feet six inches tall and stood guard over Arcadia Works until 1959 when Carreras merged with Rothmans of Pall Mall and moved to a new factory in Basildon, Essex. The cats were separated, with one making the short journey to Essex, while the other went to be displayed outside the Carreras factory at Spanishtown, Jamaica.
