'I was disabled by my mind'

By Jane Elliott
Health reporter, BBC News

Susan Dakin was convinced she was dying.

Over the space of a decade, the 49-year-old had lost her sight and mobility.

After just a few appointments, Dr Ingrams suspected her difficulties might be linked to her mental health as he knew she was in an abusive relationship and had been subjected to violent attacks.

Neurological problems such as multiple sclerosis and the movement disorder dystonia were suspected, but nothing ever pinpointed.

"One of the advantages of being a GP is that you are able to take an overview of a patient's entire health and lifestyle, something that you are not always able to do when you come from a specialist viewpoint."

"Luckily Dr Ingrams knew that I was in a relationship with lots of stress and problems. He had his suspicions before he talked to me about them and pulled them together. And thank goodness for that."

Gorillapod Flexible Tripod

The Gorillapod, a flexible tripod made by Joby is an ideal piece of photographic equipment. With flexibility, it can be twisted into positions where a normal tripod wouldnt be able to reach. From winding around a tree to clinging to a rockface, the Gorillapod is a sure fire hit for the more adventurous photographer.

Photography Tips & Tutorials

Photography 101.5 - Aperture

Welcome to the fifth lesson in Photography 101 - A Basic Course on the Camera. In this series, we cover all the basics of camera design and use. We talk about the ‘exposure triangle’: shutter speed, aperture and ISO. We talk about focus, depth of field and sharpness, as well as how lenses work, what focal lengths mean and how they put light on the sensor. We also look at the camera itself, how it works, what all the options mean and how they affect your photos.

Depth of Field

The depth of field is the region of the photo which is in focus when the image is captured. It is a range of distance from the camera where objects look to be in focus. Aperture influences the depth of field by widening or narrowing this range, thus bringing more or less of the photo into focus, based on its distance from the camera.

The Unwritten Rules of Commenting

Posted by Yan Susanto at 4 February, 2009, 9:49 am

Blogging has evolved from a solitary activity into a social networking platform. Gone are the early days of blogs being an outlet to express your thoughts for own personal amusement.

Things are different now.

People want not only to be entertained by your blog they also want to say something in what you have to say.

Over the years blogging has become a new medium of social interaction where like-minded people share their thoughts and opinions – not just yours.

Unwritten Rules of Commenting

The standards of behavior for commenting are the same and you are expected to use common sense and the same good manners that are required in the real world as you are in the virtual world of blogging.

Stay on topic. Don’t drift off from the conversation. Take the time to read the article and make every possible effort to create a response that add value to the discussion and that leads us to the next point.

Shoot More, Process Less

Try these simple rules, and you’ll be able to spend less time in front of your computer screen and more time in the field making photographs

By Nick Carver

In this age of digital cameras, super-computers and image-editing software that requires a PhD to master, it’s all too easy to spend hours under the soft glow of a computer screen endlessly fine-tuning your images. I call it the “postproduction suction.” You spend two hours behind the camera and four hours behind the keyboard editing, correcting and tweaking your shots. This phenomenon can creep into your photographic life, slowly embezzling your time away from the shutter release and into the return key until it dawns on you that you haven’t hit the trail for weeks, maybe even months. This sinking feeling is the realization that you’ve become the dreaded “desk chair photographer.”

Profit Improvement Models: Comparison

As Formula Five is receiving so much promotion and attention at the moment, I decided to assess the methodology underlying Formula Five and compare it with other profit improvement models and business coaching frameworks.

Eureka Moment - So That's How You Make Profit

There are no qualifications to be an entrepreneur.

No one teaches you how a business makes a profit and how you can manage for profit improvements.

So when you first meet a profit improvement model or framework, you may experience a Eureka moment that could have Archimedes jumping out of his bath again. You have a process which makes sense of your business and a framework that ties all your actions everything together in a way to improve profit.

Blow Your Competition Away By Developing Your Unique Selling Proposition - Part 1

Image provided by lu_lu from flickr

Developing a well thought out unique selling proposition (USP) is vital for any business - and even more so when you go online and start competing with the entire world. I want to take some time and walk/talk through the steps of developing your unique selling proposition.

First - we have to fully understand what a unique selling proposition is. Lets break it down into its parts and then see how they all fit together.

Unique - having no like or equal; unparalleled; incomparable: Bach was unique in his handling of counterpoint. (from dictionary.com)

Selling - of or pertaining to a sale or sales: the selling price of oranges. (from dictionary.com)

Proposition - the act of offering or suggesting something to be considered, accepted, adopted, or done. (from dictionary.com)

Step 1 - What Makes You Unique?

clipper's remarks: more wisdom from a veteran photographer...

Clip Source: www.prophotohome.com

The key to success in any business comes from having a product that people need, a product that people want; and getting that product to market so that they can buy it.

My background is in public relations and photojournalism. I have spent two decades branding my company’s image. I spent a time in advertising and publishing. What I have learned is that almost everyone that is selling you the “tricks” to advertising, marketing and selling is tricking you. Like fad diets; tricks, short cuts, and secrets are just gimmicks to get you to buy a fantasy.

In the end, business is about people. It is about relationships. People don’t buy photos, but photographers. They want someone who can represent themselves well in a crowd. They want someone who will edit their images. Customers want to hire photographers that are trustworthy and will give 110%.

Avoiding Online Paid Surveys Scams

Avoiding Online Paid Surveys Scams

The bottom line is, if the hype for online paid surveys sounds too good to be true, it likely is. That's the safest way to screen out "offers" that hype big rewards for small investments of time or money. Don't be fooled by:

Testimonials - Ropers and shills typically write these for scams, not satisfied customers.
Documented Proof - Some questionable paid survey sites provide checks and other documental replications as "proof." But just because someone made money at least once, doesn't mean that you will. Besides, with today's computer technology, paid survey scams can counterfeit just about any document and make it look authentic.
