The Kodachrome Pictures:
These recently uploaded Kodachrome pictures have no artistic value. They were just uploaded to be representative of consumer Kodachrome picture recording during about 70 of the 75 years that Kodachrome was commercially available to the public. Unlike in today’s digital world it took time, money and effort to make a Kodachrome slide. We took fewer pictures, trying to stretch resources, but some are still frivolous.
I'm 97 (2016). I'm about at the end of my ability to continue posting. The ratio of today’s digital pictures that are kept for any length of time and/or printed is much less than the film photos taken in days past. History will be lost. Meanwhile you get to be bored by some old Kodachromes, Anscochromes, a Dufaycolor and perhaps an old black&white or so.
The Camera...
This was made with an Olympus IS-30. I had liked the Is-3 and thought I’d try out the less expensive model for a trip. The camera exposure system was good enough to use Kodachrome 25 with everything on “full-auto. The IS-30 was a small SLR with a non-removable zoom lens. Olympus tried to market it as a ZLR (Zoom Lens Reflex) so as not to intrude into its upper IS or OM market. The IS-30 was compact, reasonably priced and had much better glass than the flatter compacts of its day.
The Film...
Kodachrome was my favorite film. My first roll in the late 30s was such a marvel to a young man. I had tried Dufaycolor which did pretty good, but if it had to be projected you had to ignore the lines of color which made up the image. Kodachrome was so much more colorful to boot. It was extremely sharp and almost grainless compared to other color and B&W processes.
Kodachrome was unique in American film history. Except for a licensee who used Kodachrome’s older process for a few years, nobody made anything like it. Most color films had all the color in the film. Kodachrome picked up color from the processing baths. Also unlike modern slide films which use chemical energy to reverse the negative image, Kodachrome used filtered lights to re-expose within the processing machine. Kodachrome evolved over the years, and was usually the clearest, sharpest grain free color film one could buy. That is until Kodak made a decision to reduce the budget to improve the product in favor of other products and offerings. Fuji Velvia soon eclipsed it in resolution and could be processed locally in regular E-6 mini-machines.

The search for new ideals characterizes our generation. But which values and virtues are still relevant today - religious, moral, spiritual or personal?
The 2013 Trend Diary presents design projects exploring the theme of values.
Why a Trend Diary dealing with values? We feel that in the course of the change instigated by the digital revolution, our view of a clearly defined, shared value system is increasingly fading. While design for "material values" is loud and ever-present, ethical values that paint a picture of belief, family, virtues and moral ideals are drowning in the modern media excess.
What´s in the trend diary? The Trend Diary, in the format of a desk calendar, assembles inspiring works of design by 53 designers of different cultures. Design that conveys values in message and function, provides guidance or aids us in our quest for meaning. Design that shows us that values are the most valuable thing we possess.
In keeping with the trend set by previous award-winning issues from the EIGA Trend Diary series, the publication showcases a special focus on experimental typography and groundbreaking graphic design. The designers at EIGA have developed a unique typeface whose characters are composed of continually rearranging elements – just like society’s understanding of shared values. Furthermore each calendar week features an individual composition corresponding to the designer’s contributions while still following a consistent overall design principle.
The cultural background. Design has been a guide and bearer of standards and values in all cultures from time immemorial. This is evidenced by the codex the Mesopotamians hewed in stone in the 18th century BC, by the awe-inspiring illumination of European Bible manuscripts in the Middle Ages or by the Bauhaus school's function-driven approach to design. Utilizing any given era's media toolbox, design brings the ideals and moral values of society to the surface.
Fact and figures. The Trend Diary was initiated by EIGA, a Hamburg-based design office, and published by NBVD. The production enjoys support from well-known partners in fine paper, printing and print finishing. 53 designers are given a special platform in the form of a weekly motive in the exclusive design calendar.

Mudeford was originally a small fishing village in the borough of Christchurch, Dorset southern England, lying at the entrance to Christchurch Harbour. The River Mude ( which starts from Poors Common in Bransgore, Hampshire and Bure Brook ( which starts from Nea Meadows in Highcliffe, Dorset ) flow into the harbour there. In recent times the boundaries of Mudeford have expanded and include modern housing. About 4000 people now live in the area giving a population density of roughly 24 persons per hectare. Mudeford includes two woodland areas (known as Mudeford Woods and Peregrine Woods), a recreation ground on the north side of Stanpit (used to play cricket since the 19th century, probably as far back as the 1860's) and All Saints Church ( built in 1869 as a gift by Mortimer Ricardo, who lived at Bure Homage House ).
The village is home to both Mudeford Infants School and Mudeford Junior School. Mudeford Quay was constructed in the late 1940. Before this, The Haven, as it was then known was surrounded by sloping beaches. The Run then was much wider than it is now and the area was subject to terrible erosion. So much so that Christchurch Council purchased the whole area in 1945. Five years later the area had been raised and reinforced with steel piles and concrete.
Today the quay which consists of The Haven Inn public house, several ex-fisherman's cottages and a large car park is still used by local fishing boats as well as being a base for many water sports. A RNLI inshore lifeboat station is located on the quay. In 1809, a troopship carrying 100 soldiers returning from the Peninsular War, sank in Christchurch Bay. The whole complement was saved by fishermen from the village. A specially built lifeboat was stationed at Mudeford from 1802, privately owned and manned by the local fisherman. It was subsumed by the RNLI in 1962 and in June 1963 a new inflatable boat was delivered. Between 1963 and 1995, the Mudeford Lifeboat was launched 766 times and rescued 308 people.
The Mudeford ferry operates between the Quay and Mudeford Sandbank on Hengistbury Head. The ferry was until the 1960's operated by rowing boats with payment being at the discretion of the passenger. Mudeford Quay is at the entrance to the Harbour known as ~ The Run. The area was historically much involved in smuggling and the site in 1784 of The Battle of Mudeford. George III is recorded as having visited Mudeford in 1801 and using a bathing machine.
Stanpit Marsh is situated on the north side of Christchurch Harbour, just below the confluence of the rivers Avon and Stour. The 65 hectare site has an unusual combination of habitats including salt marsh with creeks and salt pans, reed beds, freshwater marsh, gravel estuarine banks and sandy scrub. It was designated as a Local Nature Reserve in 1964 and in 1986 as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The Marsh is home to over 300 species of plants, 14 of which are nationally rare and endangered.
Tutton’s Well:- Many Christchurch residents may be unaware that the Borough contains the last remaining natural geological erupting mineral spring within a public open space in East Dorset. The ancient Tutton’s Well can be found in Stanpit, near the Stanpit Recreation car park. The water of the well was recognised as having unusual purity with medicinal values as it contains a wide range of important minerals. In medieval times it was transported around the country as a cure and known as The Christchurch Elixir. The traditional annual pilgrimage to the Priory included the healing benefits of this spring water from the monks. In July 2009 the Council’s Planning Control Committee agreed that the Friends of Tutton's Well could restore ancient features to the Tutton's Well site. These will include:
1) restoring the quay wall at Stanpit Creek (from which fishermen used to launch their fishing boats)
2) restoring the Dipping Place - this will allow the original branch of the spring to emerge
3) restoring a working crank pump to the Well
4) erecting a notice board to give a historical perspective.
The restoration of the Tutton's Well features is due to the generous patronage of Tom Tutton without whom this valuable local history would be lost to memory.

A. Why get a pedal boat?
We’ll start this article by discussing why we need a pedal boat.
Your loved ones might be quite enthusiastic about spending several days on the lake, but you would like to find a pedal boat to make the experience even better.
There are large pedal boats out there that can hold as many as six passengers, and there are also the smaller ones capable of holding only a couple of people. The pedal boat is usually propelled by a set of pedals which are positioned on either side with two people pedaling. The boat’s direction can be controlled by the presence of a stick placed at the center of the boat.
One significant bonus to a pedal boat is a canopy which protects the user from the sun while you’re on the water. It is not at all difficult to store a pedal boat to safeguard the vessel from the weather, debris, and other elements while it is not being used. Moreover, the pedaling system is not hard to operate, and even a child of three can do it. With fantastic stability, this type of boat can also be used by the elderly.
In a nutshell, a pedal boat has all the ingredients to turn your holidays into something which you will remember for a long time to come!
How do they work?
The conventional models use human-powered pedals, which will turn a wheel under the watercraft and make it go forward. Pedal boats are simple to use and easy to steer. They have both the levers and the pedals at the front.
However, several models have not only one but two sets of pedals which give them more power. And some modern ones also have a trolling motor. It means you can use the motors when tired of using the pedals.
Keep in mind that pedal boats are not made for the sea. The salt water will damage the parts and materials of a pedal boat. So, it is better to stick to lakes or ponds.
B. What to look for in a good pedal boat?
When it comes to purchasing a good pedal boat, we will first discuss the materials. You can always go for HDPE/plastic which is quite durable and resilient; however, it will not be much more useful when the hull is beached on either dirt or sand. Fiberglass can be your next option and, in fact, it is used a lot these days. The majority of the pedal boaters tend to buy fiberglass pedal boats when purchasing for the first time and this trend has also been seen with second-hand buyers particularly after burning through the hull of the plastic boats within a few years. It might likewise be a wise idea to opt for ABS which happens to be a decent plastic material for your boat given that it is even harder as well as lighter compared to HDPE/RAMX. However, ABS might prove to be a bit more expensive in the long run. Aluminum is also a great choice. The only drawback with aluminum is that it conducts electricity and also there is a lack of foam.
The ideal place to purchase your pedal boat is online, but you need to be aware of the prices as well as the sites themselves. Never accept any product which comes with a hidden freight charge which you need to pay for after getting your boat. Moreover, the place from where you purchase must have adequate customer service.
How to choose a pedal boat?
The functions of all pedal boat model are similar. However, some manufacturers may use a lower grade quality product than the other. Check for the material that they used for the deck (top) and hull (bottom). Most are made of plastic, but we want some materials with fiberglass or at least reinforced plastic. The thick material will prevent deterioration and leakage. There are some pedal boats made from HDPE/plastic, which is tough in some area but prone to leakage when the hull is beached. Better-quality material means a pedal boat is more durable and long-lasting.
You should also check the maximum weight that your pedal boat can hold. Because sometimes the manufacturers can advertise a pedal boat can support five people, while they mean two adults and three children. If you are going to use it with many friends or teenagers, then this model may not be up your alley.
Another thing is to check the additional features that a pedal boat has to offer. Some models may be equipped with canopies for the hot summer day. While another may be equipped with a cooler.
Lastly, you can check whether the pedal boat has self-bailing features. Self-bailing means if water gets into your pedal boat deck than you don’t have to scoop the water out manually. A full self-bailing model has a system to let the water out so it won’t get trapped in the deck. This feature comes in handy when you leave your boat out in the rain. Some models claim to be beach bailing, meaning you can put them on the beach and they will dump the water from the back. While some models are both self-bailing and foam filled. Foam filled means the boats are filled with foam entirely to keep the water out. The foam filled boats are the best way to keep water out, but it also makes the pedal boat heavier.
Current Top 4 Pedal Boats
There are many pedal boat model out there, and we compiled the top four according to price, features, and durability.
The Sun Dolphin Sun Slider 5 Seat Pedal Boat is our top pick for this year. While the runner-up is Sun Dolphin’s Water Wheeler Electric. And our budget pick is the Sun Dolphin’s Sun Slider 3 Seat.

1. Sun Dolphin 5 Seat Sun Slider Review
The Sun Slider 5 is made of UV-stabilized Fortiflex polyethylene for its deck and hull. This is a high-quality material which will make your pedal boat durable and lightweight. Two people can easily transport the Sun Slider 5.
This particular boat fits as many as five individuals on board which makes it a great choice when it comes to enjoying a great time on the lake with friends. Moreover, it includes a resilient and waterpBCL_paddle_boats_BCL_paddle_boats_roof canopy which will safeguard you from the sun, and you can also fold it in case you do not need the canopy.
It comes with inbuilt coolers for snack and drinks. On top of this, there is also an inbuilt motor mount provided by the manufacturer in case you want to convert to an electric pedal boat.
The pedals for this model are made of polystyrene foam floatation, which is also a top-notch material. The Sun Dolphin Team listened to peoples concerns and made pedaling light and easy; you won’t feel like your working out when you use their pedals.
The pedal boat also comes with a couple of sets of pedal cranks, however even one person can operate the Sun Slider 5 easily. The steering level and paddle wheel make it easy to steer above water.
With the presence of a robust 30 lb thrust motor, your journey is going to be smooth and comfortable. Five people can be easily fit in this boat. In a nutshell, the Sun dolphin five is a fantastic choice if your budget is limited.
The maximum capacity for the Sun Slider 5 is 825 lbs. This means the pedal boat can support up to 5 adults. The seats on the Sun Slider 5 are adjustable to make the boat comfortable for 2 or five people without issue.
The downside is this pedal boat is that it’s not self-bailing. This means it cannot prevent any water getting on board. And if by chance you splash some water inside the pedal boat, then you need to manually remove it. Flip it over after use and let it dry under the sun.
The Sun Slider 5 has it all, from high-quality material, weight capacity, and tons of additional features. Added with easy pedaling and smooth performance make the Sun Slider 5 comes on top of our list.
E. Sun Dolphin 3 seat pedal boat review – The Budget Pick
The Sun Slider 3 is a small pedal boat, made for two people. The Sun Slider 3 is also made of UV stabilized Fortiflex’ polyethylene for its deck and hull and a closed cell of polystyrene foam. These two are top quality materials from Sun Dolphin.
The Sun Slider 3 maximum capacity is 450 lbs. Or it can support three adults. Although advertised as a three seat pedal boat, the Sun Slider 3 is more convenient with two people, since all three seats are located side by side. On the back of the Sun Slider 3, you will find two cooling storages, which you can use to bring the necessary items for your outing. Also, the seat is all formed and non-adjustable, which can be awkward for the third person in the middle. There is also no space for a trolling motor, so you cannot upgrade the model to an electric model.
The Sun Slider 3 is not self-bailing, so you need to manually empty the water when it gets into the pedal boat. The water also tends to get in between the deck and the hull. It is better to rinse and store them vertically with the drain plug removed after every use and make sure it is thoroughly dry.
The Sun Slider 3 is excellent for those of you who are on a budget, and still, want to have fun with the family.
Although compact in size, the Sun Dolphin 3 has received numerous positive testimonials. At present, you will get it in two different shades, namely blue as well as a greenish teal. However, blue is undoubtedly the preferred choice amongst buyers.
Since three individuals will not be needed to operate the pedals, one can also venture out with only two pedalers or even alone.
However, some people have complained that this boat is a bit heavy despite the fact that it weighs only 96 lbs. It depends entirely on the people on board, and the pedal boat is not overly heavy by any means. The Sun Dolphin 3 will never disappoint you when it comes to having fun and comes highly recommended.
Our Runner-Up Pick: The Water Wheeler Electric from Sun Dolphin
As the name suggests, the Water Wheeler is an electric pedal boat. This model comes equipped with a powerful yet small Minn-Kota trolling motor, which lets you choose to pedal manually or use the motor to glide across the water. The option to use the motor allows you just to relax and enjoy the view around you.
The Water Wheeler is made from UV stabilized Fortiflex’ polyethylene, a closed cell polystyrene foam floatation, and oil infused bushings added with rubber seals. These high-quality materials make the Water Wheeler go beyond the Sun Slider 5. However, the Water Wheeler is a tad bit heavier than its cousin, due to the trolling motor.
The trolling motor from Minn-Kota is surprisingly quiet and powerful. The noise that comes from this small motor is just as if you were using the pedal yourself.
The Water Wheeler also has tons of features, just like the Sun Slider 5. It comes with an adjustable canopy, drink holders, adjustable seats and cooling storage. However, the Water Wheeler only supports a maximum of 4 adults or three adults and two children. The maximum capacity for the Water Wheeler is 800 lbs., smaller than the Sun Slider 5.
The price is the most significant downside for the Water Wheeler. Compared to other models, the Water Wheeler price is in the luxurious price range, again due to the motor. And people are considering whether it is genuinely worth the features, however, it is cheaper to purchase the Water Wheeler rather than the Sun Slider with the additional purchase of a trolling motor if the motor is what you’re looking for. If you would like to experience gliding over water effortlessly with your family than the Water Wheeler is your best option.
How do I transport a pedal boat?
You will need at least a pickup truck, as pedal boats mostly fit in them, but make sure that you can lift them in and out your truck. Or the easiest way is to take bring it over a flatbed trailer which you can attach to your car. There is also a pedal boat trailer which is designed to back out into the water. Also, we recommend that you buy an optional pedal boat dolly to help you move the boat to your garage or boathouse.
How do I store the pedal boat?
Pedal boat materials are sensitive to weather, which means you need to protect them from low temperatures, rain, and snow. If you leave them to the elements, it can lead to deterioration and leakages. Storing them in a garage is the best option, but if you don’t have any extra space in your garage, then just cover them with a thick cover. Avoid using a plastic cover since it may cause mildew, and your pedal boat will trap moisture. Also, remember to rinse them with fresh water and cleanse the debris after use
Keep in mind that water tends to get in between the hull and the deck. If you leave water inside the pedal boat for too long, it will create mold and rust. However, it is also hard to dry the area between the hull and the deck since there is no airflow. You need to tilt your pedal boat and open the drain plug to pour the water out. This is the reason you need to store some models vertically.
Wrapping Up
Activities involving pedal boats are guaranteed fun for all ages. You can also use them to observe wildlife or have a relaxing time in the midst of the lake. Our top pick for you is the Sun Dolphin’s Sun Slider 5 Seat Pedal Boat, as it is durable, lightweight, easy to paddle, and has tons of additional features. Our runner-up goes to the Sun Dolphin’s Water Wheeler Electric due to a bit higher price. While our best value on a budget pick is the Sun Dolphin’s 3 Seat Pedal Boat, for beginners, who are on a limited budget. We hope this guide helped you and happy pedaling!

We live in a hyper-technological society in which family life is failing, a world where we can learn anything except how to be parents; how to raise children with values and limits, how to say No more often, how to discipline them.
It is said that we must raise children in freedom. No demands on them. Let them dictate their own rules and do as they please. These are well-intentioned mistakes whose consequences we are paying for daily: children and adolescents who run away, commit suicide, kill and drug themselves.
The absence of the mother in the home and the weakening of fatherly authority have become a central issue of a daily reality that threatens to destroy the family as an institution. Alone, in front of a computer our children grow up in a state of emotional emptiness. Consequently, they do not grow up. Christina Balinotti provides an enlightening handbook designed to show mothers (and fathers) how to lead and strengthen the family. It is a defense of the most important and significant event of human experience: parenthood.
Christina Balinotti is an Argentine author and lecturer. She holds a bachelor’s degree in the social sciences with graduate studies in Psychology including three years of special studies in Philosophy and Literature in her native Buenos Aires. She also has ample knowledge in the field of quantum physics.
She has resided in Miami since the year 2000, where she works as an international analyst on TV and Radio, investigating the crimes and suicides of our young people and their relationship to maternal absence during a child’s early years in this and in other developed societies.
Through her Foundation, Holistic Femininity, Christina Balinotti organizes conferences and annual workshops at several Florida universities (FIU, UM, SUAGM) as well as in important venues in Miami for the purpose of educating women in the essential recovery of family values and in the pathways of holistic femininity, all free of charge.
In 2013 she hosted a radio show at Radio Nova Internacional as well as a weekly TV Show at Telemiami in which she, together with other professionals, including sociologists, historians and psychologists, analyzed the role of women in Western cultures. Proud mother and grandmother.
The world watched in horror at the recent 15th of March, 2019 mass shooting of Muslims at their place of worship in Christchurch, New Zealand. All across New Zealand there has been an outpouring of grief and a focus on compassion towards each other. This photo was taken in Napier and was of one of the many spontaneous memorials found at every town and city in New Zealand. New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, called for us all to create … “A place that is diverse, that is welcoming, that is kind and compassionate. Those values represent the very best of us”. Whatever the causes, a disaster can bring people together and bring out the very best of human values.

NHS Values Summits bring together a diverse range of people and perspectives to foster greater understanding of how peoples' differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
Held on a quarterly basis across the country, each summit promotes values-based ways of working and explores a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights.
The theme of this NHS Values Summit, held on 18th September 2013, was entitled 'Making it happen in Greater Manchester: Integrated care across organisations'. Patient-centred care that is well co-ordinated across care settings and over time is better for all but can particularly benefit patients with long-term, chronic or complex conditions and those who may find it difficult to 'navigate' the health care system.
The Greater Manchester summit was held during National Recovery Month. This provided an opportunity for people to share their recovery stories with others and celebrate their successes, promoting the benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery for those experiencing mental health or substance misuse issues.
As a celebration of shared learning and partnership working, NHS England is pleased to welcome patients and the public, representatives from health and social care, and stakeholders from the private and voluntary/community sectors to these important events.

The Kodachrome Pictures:
These recently uploaded Kodachrome pictures have no artistic value. They were just uploaded to be representative of consumer Kodachrome picture recording during about 70 of the 75 years that Kodachrome was commercially available to the public. Unlike in today’s digital world it took time, money and effort to make a Kodachrome slide. We took fewer pictures, trying to stretch resources, but some sere still frivolous.
I’m 97 and all tuckered out. I probably will not post much more. The ratio of today’s digital pictures that are kept for any length of time and/or printed is much less than the film photos taken in days past. History will be lost. Meanwhile you get to be bored by some old Kodachromes.
The Camera:
Most of these pictures are not very sharp. They were taken with an Argus AF 35mm miniature Bakelite camera bought in 1938 at the USNA by saving much of my small student stipend for about six months. It had a Cooke style three element lens of marginal quality for its day of laughable quality compared with any of today’s SLR lenses. It had slightly better resolving ability than today’s ever more scarce disposable film cameras. The AF was an Argus upgrade which enabled the camera to focus at different lengths from about 1.5 feet to infinity. Most consumer cameras of that day were what we call medium format today. Most of the cheaper consumer grade cameras were little more than box- cameras with single element non-focusing meniscus lenses. The larger film hid much of the softness. The then newer miniature cameras had to do better because of the smaller film exposure size.
