Markt wordt verdeeld
Zoals ik al eerder aangaf is het onmogelijk een nieuwe, door de overheid bekostigde, hbo te starten. Daardoor hebben de bestaande instellingen een monopoliepositie. Zo verdelen de bestaande hbo’s de markt in de grote steden. De HvA mag in Amsterdam geen Vrijetijdsmanagementopleiding beginnen omdat Inholland die opleiding al in Amsterdam aanbiedt. In ruil daarvoor mocht de HvA in Amsterdam een hbo-rechtenopleiding starten.

Minister bevordert kartelvorming
Het ministerie van onderwijs bevordert deze kartelvorming. Als je een nieuwe opleiding wilt starten moet je bij het ministerie de ‘macro-doelmatigheid’ van de opleiding aantonen. En als dezelfde opleiding al in de buurt wordt aangeboden krijg je geen toestemming. Ook al is de andere opleiding van slechte kwaliteit.

Hbo’s houden systeem in stand
De onderwijsraad, adviseur voor de minister van OC&W en bestaande uit vertegenwoordigers van het onderwijsveld, heeft als doelstelling geformuleerd dat binnen afzienbare termijn 50% van de jongere beroepsbevolking dient te beschikken over een diploma hoger onderwijs. En met eigen woorden voegt ze daar aan toe dat ze de kwaliteit wil blijven bewaken: ‘De basiskwaliteit wordt in de eerste plaats gegarandeerd door het accreditatiestelsel’. In feite is dat hetzelfde als dat het CBR zegt dat meer mensen hun rijbewijs moeten halen. Het verschil met een hbo is dat het CBR niet zelf de rijlessen geeft.

Slager keurt eigen vlees
Het accreditatiestelsel is een systeem waarbij een panel van beoordelaars opleidingen op kwaliteit beoordeelt en dit rapporteert aan de NVAO. Zo’n panel wordt ingekocht door de hogeschool. En die wil graag dat de opleiding wordt goedgekeurd. De NVAO wordt betaald door het ministerie van OC&W…. In feite beoordeelt de minister zijn eigen werk. Heeft het NVAO en deze panels van beoordelaars er belang bij een opleiding een onvoldoende te geven?

Corrumperend accreditatietraject
Geen enkele.
In de eerste plaats zal de NVAO oppassen met het overnemen van een ‘onvoldoende’ die door panels worden gegeven. Immers, de minister wil niet dat het door haar gefinancierde onderwijs als onvoldoende wordt ervaren. Het ministerie zal dan de geldkraan naar de NVAO dichtdraaien.
In de tweede plaats zal een onvoldoende ervoor zorgen dat een opleiding verdwijnt. Aangezien, door de kartelwerking, de opleiding de enige is die voorziet in het aanbod in de buurt, zal de minister er alles aan doen om de opleiding in de lucht te houden.

Slecht vlees
In feite is het accreditatiestelsel een systeem waarbij de minister maar één slagerij wil financieren in de stad. En onder het mom van kwaliteit zelf het vlees maar gaat keuren. Natuurlijk, het vlees is bijna gratis, maar de slagerij verdient het meest door slecht vlees in te kopen het liefst zo onbewerkt mogelijk door te verkopen.

Een andere keuringsdienst
Het zou goed zijn als het ministerie de verantwoordelijkheid van de kwaliteit van het onderwijs niet zelf regiseert. Leg die verantwoordelijkheid bijvoorbeeld bij Economische zaken. Zij heeft wellicht een ‘natuurlijk belang’ de waarde van diploma’s kritisch te bewaken. Door het ‘afnemend werkveld’ een grotere rol te geven in de vaststelling van de kwaliteit van een opleiding en de waarde van het diploma. Inmiddels geven ook VNO-NCW en MKB Nederland aan meer invloed te willen hebben op het hbo: “Dat overleg en die samenwerking zijn nu in de praktijk veel te fragmentarisch en te versnipperd”.

Verspilling van belastinggeld
En doorbreek dan het kartel van de-elkaar-de-hand-boven-het-hoofd-houdende hbo-instellingen. Ze verspillen miljoenen aan ondoorzichtige accreditatietrajecten, miljoenen aan management dat geen belang heeft bij de kwaliteit van het onderwijs en miljoenen aan verspilde tijd van stuurloze docenten die studenten tevreden aan het houden zijn.

Greetings Penguins!

The Dojo Courtyard is the happening spot on the island right now! (The Goldsmithing outfit is quite fabulous – it’s a blast to hang out there and use the tools.) Since lots of you are at the Dojo and you’ll probably be playing Card-Jitsu when you take a break from building Amulets, I thought it’d be cool to talk to someone who considers themselves an expert.

Q. Tell us your greatest Card-Jitsu moment
A. Well my absolute favorite moment was helping a group of penguins train for their black belt. It took 20 matches, 2 hours, and 1 extra large pizza with hot sauce, but it was worth it!
Q. What does it take to beat Sensei?
A. It takes good advice from your ninja buddies – also practice.
Q. I don’t have a black belt yet (I want one – they remind me of licorice). What’s your fave part of being a black-belt ninja?
A. The best thing about being a black belt ninja is the thrill of defeating – or even being defeated by – a worthy opponent. Putting out that last card and waiting…

It’d be sweet to have everybody’s greatest Card-Jitsu moments in the comments. Have fun building Amulets!

Until then…Waddle on!

Help Build Amulets!
Hello Penguins!

Halloween’s over, and you guys made it a party to remember. We saw a lot of cool monsters and spooky igloos all over the island! Thanks for helping to make this Halloween so much fun.

By the way – have you been to the Dojo Courtyard today? Looks like there’s some work to be done, so grab your buddies and head there to help build Amulets! There’s some new gear in the Ninja Hideout, too, so be sure to check that out if you haven’t yet

-Long time no see.
YB: It’s been a while. Well it’s actually only been 3 months since we last came to Japan but it seems like it’s been ages!
TOP: We can finally let everyone hear a new song. Our last powerful single, ‘GaraGaraGO!!’ let us show the power of Big Bang before returning to Korea, but we’ve now returned with a song perfect for the cool weather nowadays. It will warm your hearts.

-I see! Your new single ‘Let Me Hear Your Voice’ seems like a soft, truthful song that has blended all five of your voices together in perfect harmony.
All: Yes! Please listen to it.

-It’s got a completely different atmosphere to your last song. Was there any difficulty in singing a quiet, calm song? You also once said that “singing in Japanese is hard”.
DS: It isn’t a genre that we’ve never attempted before, so it wasn’t that hard. It’s a lot easier to sing in Japanese now because of all the difficult pronunciation practice.
YB: When we sing a dance song, it requires a lot of preparation. Before we sing it, we have to consider our movements and expressions through performances so it takes a lot longer to prepare for. But ‘Let Me Hear Your Voice’ had a slow tempo so the singing was the most important part. It didn’t take as long to make as a dance song, so it was very easy to prepare for.

Dilemma van het managementteam
De teammanagers Henk, Marieke, Joyce en Bert overleggen met Sanneke, de opleidingsmanager. De rendementscijfers dreigen lager te worden dan die van vorig jaar. Dat komt omdat voor de tentamens van de eerste periode van dit schooljaar minder studenten zijn geslaagd. Sanneke geeft aan dat een deel van het budget dat ze van school krijgt afhankelijk is van dat rendement. “Als we het rendement niet opkrikken, dan hebben we volgend jaar minder geld!”.

Lagere opkomst colleges
Henk, teammanager die verantwoordelijk is voor het vak, geeft aan dat de toets het zelfde niveau had als vorig jaar. Ook heeft hij niets veranderd aan de docenten, de stof en de college’s. “En het lijkt me sterk dat de studenten dit jaar opeens dommer zijn dan vorig jaar. Wat ik wel van collega’s hoorde is dat de college’s minder zijn bezocht. Er was iets met een project waar de studenten ook druk mee waren…”. “Toch vind ik dat jij het moet oplossen, Henk. Linksom of rechtsom”, besluit Sanneke.

Hippe nevenactiviteiten
Joyce heeft als teammanager ‘Diversiteit’ in haar pakket. Ze heeft extra geld gekregen om ‘Diversiteit’ beter in het curriculum te krijgen. Met dat geld heeft ze in de afgelopen periode een project gedraaid waarbij de studenten op bezoek gingen bij mensen die in Vogelaarwijken wonen. De studenten moesten dat bezoek ook voorbereiden, evalueren en presenteren. Het project kreeg veel aandacht in de pers. “Goed gedaan Joyce. Mooie reclame voor de school, we hebben de projectdoelen gehaald. Volgend jaar weer!”, complimenteerde Sanneke haar.

Leg dat maar eens uit
Henk zit te schuiven op zijn stoel: “Mooi is dat, omdat we projectgeld krijgen, komen studenten niet naar de lessen… Hoe leg ik dat uit aan mijn docenten?”. Sanneke valt even stil en zegt dan: “Is het goed als ik daar volgende keer op terugkom?”.

Prestatiebonus voor de lieveling van de baas
In mijn ogen pleit bovenstaande dat projectgelden en de daarbij behorende projectdoelen ALTIJD een geintegreerd onderdeel moeten uitmaken van het onderwijs. Dat betekent dus dat de doelstellingen van de projecten opgenomen moeten zijn in de doelen die studenten moeten halen om hun vak te halen of het tentamen te halen. Als dat niet zo is worden projecten los van het primaire proces staande ‘leuke dingetjes’.

Daar maak je hooguit een paar individuele docenten mee blij. Een mooie prestatiebonus voor de lievelingen van de baas?

Plasterk kiest voor functiemenging in plaats van functiescheiding
Frank Hendriks van het Hobéon vat de kritiek van de Raad van State goed samen. Lees hier het stuk van Frank.

Ik noem, kort, de inhoudelijke kritiekpunten van de Raad van State op het voorstel van Plasterk ter herziening van het accreditatiestelsel.

Geen vermindering bureaucratie
Het nieuwe stelsel zou de bureaucratisering van accreditaties verminderen. De Raad van State toont aan dat er geen aanwijzingen zijn dat die bureaucratisering vermindert.

Alle macht bij NVAO
NVAO krijgt meer bevoegdheden. Naast dat ze opleidingen mag accrediteren (t.b.v. bekostiging en erkenning van graden) mag ze ook de rang aangeven van een opleiding t.o.v. andere opleidingen. Hierdoor krijgt de NVAO veel te veel macht. Raad van State ziet die rangorde liever door een andere partij bepaald. Ik heb al eens geopperd dat bij Economische Zaken te leggen en daar nadrukkelijker het werkveld bij te betrekken.

Geen spaan heel
“Uit alles blijkt dat de Raad van State geen spaan heel laat van de vormgeving van nieuwe accreditatiestelsel. OCW heeft zich door deze (onverwachte?) tegenvaller niet uit de wind laten slaan en, zij het met fikse vertraging, toch een op hoofdlijnen gelijkluidend wetsvoorstel ingediend bij de Tweede Kamer.”, zo schrijft Frank Hendriks.

Overheid, Minister; als de Wijzen je vragen te stoppen met het keuren van je eigen vlees…. Waarom zou je dat niet doen?

a month ago i was in vienna, i don’t even have to count the days because despite being 51years and 7 months old…that’s the interval since my last period. i was curious what the oldest age for a woman still having a period…you know the oldest recored menopause because i thought the average age was 50….

In the Western world, the most typical age range for menopause (last period) is between the ages of 45 and 55 and the average age for last period is 51 years. In some developing countries however, such as Indonesia and the Philippines, the median age of natural menopause is considerably earlier, at 44 years.

In the Western World, a woman’s last period occurring between the ages of 55 to 60 is known as a “late menopause”. An “early menopause” is defined as having the final period somewhere between the age of 40 to 45.

 okay…..so that officially puts me above average, so i googled it and found some interesting tidbits~~~

A study from Norway showed that the older a woman stops menstruating permanently, the longer she lives.

A woman is born with about four million eggs. Each month, a single egg ripens and pops into the uterus and 10,000 eggs deteriorate until she finally runs out of eggs and goes into the menopause. A North American woman goes into the menopause at the average age of 52. Women who go into menopause later than that are at somewhat increased risk for breast cancer, presumably because increasing the duration of exposure to estrogen increases breast cancer risk. However, estrogen does good things also. It thickens the bones, skin and vagina, protects blood vessels and improves mood, and this latest study shows that women who go into menopause later than age 52 live longer than those who go into menopause earlier.

Age at natural menopause and all-cause mortality: A 37-year follow-up of 19,731 Norwegian women. American Journal of Epidemiology, 2003, Vol 157, Iss 10, pp 923-929. BK Jacobsen, I Heuch, G Kvale. Jacobsen BK, Univ Tromso, Inst Community Med, N-9037 Tromso, NORWAY

that’s the good news~~~

Studies consistently have indicated a link between later onset of menopause and increased breast cancer risk. Reports show that women who go through menopause after age 55 have twice the risk of breast cancer as women who experience menopause before age 45.

To understand why women who begin menopause later in life are at a slightly elevated risk of developing breast cancer, one must understand the role of estrogen. Estrogen alone does not cause cancer. The hormone, estrogen, is an essential part of a woman’s physiology. However, estrogen’s principal function is to speed the process of cell proliferation. Therefore, estrogen can increase the chance of a mutation occurring and/or encourage the growth of cancerous cells once they appear.

The more estrogen a woman is exposed to during her lifetime, the greater the opportunity for the hormone to promote the growth of a tumor. The reason why women who go through menopause later in life are at greater risk of developing breast cancer is because these women have had a longer lifetime exposure to estrogen.

that’s the bad news….i thought this was an interesting hypothesis even though wikipedia says it is not well supported with research …

The grandmother hypothesis is an informal hypothesis meant to explain why menopause, rare in mammal species, arose in human evolution and how a long post-fertile period could confer an evolutionary advantage.

G.C. Williams was the first to posit that menopause might be an adaptation. Williams suggested that at some point during evolution, it became advantageous for females to stop “dividing [their] declining faculties between the care of extant offspring and the production of new ones” (p. 408). Since a female’s dependent offspring would die as soon as she did, he argued, older mothers should stop producing new babies and focus on the offspring they already had. In so doing, they would avoid the risk of dying during childbirth and thereby eliminate a potential threat to the continued survival of current offspring.

i think this is perfectly reasonable, supports my theory that 60 year old women should not be going to clinics in italy to get pregnant..of course i am no where close to being a grandmother ….

Alternatively, the debilitating symptoms that usually accompany menopause in Western cultures could be seen as a natural cull of non-reproductive members of a species. Hot flashes, loss of short term memory, decreased ability to concentrate and difficulty in the learning of new tasks would, in the wild, leave the sufferer at greater risk from predators and topographical dangers such as falls from a height. This natural cull would leave more food, usually in relatively short supply, for the reproductive members of a species whose youth could mean that they are less experienced at finding it. However, cross-cultural studies of menopause have found that menopausal symptoms are quite variable among different populations, and that some populations of females do not recognize, and may not even experience, these “symptoms” (Melby). This high level of variability in menopausal symptoms across populations brings into question the plausibility of menopause as a sort of “culling agent” to eliminate non-reproductive females from competition with younger, fertile members of the species.

The grandmother theory appears to work because species continue to recognize, value, and therefore protect, closely related members of their species who would otherwise fall to predation. Only with this protection is the grandmother available to take a mentoring and supportive role.

i don’t particularly enjoy being described in the same paragragh as the word “cull” however….natural or otherwise~~~

if i never have another period after today, which seems highly unlikely as i still haven’t missed one single month yet….i will still be 52 and 7 months when i officially enter the green pastures of “the menopause”. scarily close to either living longer or being at high risk of breast cancer depending how you look at it.

all i can say is that my new motto….the more you do, the more you can do seems to be working as i have been really busy and in fact worked at home today from 8am-5.30pm (except for the 45 minutes when i had to lay down).

 i sent my first group email to about 100 people, got it wrong the first time but succeeded on my second try. had an urgent teleconference where my boss won an disagreement over something that he wanted to change and the londoners were opposed to.

i’m off to london on weds and thursday for another round of meetings, so all in all everything is going well…if only mother nature would have mercy…..

Heel goed dat de onderwijsraad ‘doelmatigheid’ op de agenda zet. Alleen jammer dat ze in die discussie aan de verkeerde kant begint.

Tijdschrijven levert slechts ‘pseudo’ winst
Ze veronderstelt dat efficiencywinst zichtbaar wordt wanneer docenten gaan tijdschrijven.
Het probleem is echter dat elke docent (en elke onderwijsmanager) kwaliteit van onderwijs anders ziet. En dat hij of zij daarom zijn tijd op zijn of haar eigen manier invult. En natuurlijk kan dat soms efficiënter.

Aansturing en financiering niet gekoppeld aan onderwijskwaliteit
Het zou beter zijn als de onderwijsraad zich zou buigen over de vraag wat kwaliteit van onderwijs precies is. En wat dat dan betekent voor de doelen van scholen en universiteiten. En de daarbij behorende aansturing en financiering.

Tegengestelde definities van kwaliteit van onderwijs
Er zijn tegengestelde definities van onderwijskwaliteit. Ik noem er enkele die in onderwijsland worden gehanteerd.
Is onderwijskwaliteit het kunnen garanderen van een eindniveau, behorend bij het diploma wat wordt afgegeven? Is onderwijskwaliteit de ‘toegevoegde waarde’ die een opleider gedurende een bepaalde periode aan een student of scholier toevoegt? Wordt de onderwijskwaliteit gemeten door de tevredenheid van studenten en/of ouders over het onderwijs?

Diplomadrukmachines
Bovenstaande doelen zijn principieel conflicterend. Dat zien we vooral terug in het hbo. Daar zijn sommige opleidingen een soort diplomadrukmachines geworden en wordt er nauwelijks nog waarde aan studenten toegevoegd. Voorbeelden hiervan kunt u lezen op dit weblog.

Gebrek aan onderwijskundige visie
Docenten maken nu hun eigen keuzes t.a.v. deze conflicterende doelen. Omdat scholen en hun managers kennelijk niet in staat zijn deze keuzes voor hen te maken.

Schaalvergroting belemmert doelmatigheid
De schaalvergroting in het onderwijs heeft er voor gezorgd dat een gemeenschappelijk idee over wat kwaliteit van onderwijs verder weg is komen te staan. En dat docenten daardoor met meer conflicterende belangen te maken hebben.

En daarom maakt de docent maar zijn eigen keuzes…

Of, zoals J. de Vries uit Berlicum in Trouw schreef:

Ja, als je als leraar al weinig tijd hebt, dan ga je graag nog even tijdschrijven om de manager inzicht te geven in hoe weinig tijd je hebt. Want ja, het draait om de manager. En ook de prestatiebonus draait niet om de leraar, maar om de manager. Zo kan de manager nog wat beter sturen op kwaliteit. Jammer alleen dat wat de manager kwaliteit noemt, vaak alleen maar inhoudt dat je je tijdschrijfsysteem vult en verder bijdraagt aan de papieren werkelijkheid. Want de rest, het lesgeven en dergelijke, daar interesseert de manager zich niet voor. En daar weet hij/zij ook niets van. Laat me raden: managers en vakbonden vinden dit een goed voorstel.

En mevrouw Geert ten Dam, van de Onderwijsraad zelf, weet het eigenlijk ook niet….

Uit het interview vanmorgen (16 november) in Goedemorgen Nederland (vanaf minuut 3:20) blijkt dat de Onderwijsraad eigenlijk geen idee heeft wat het echte probleem is: onduidelijkheid over beoordelingscriteria (lees: hoe meet je onderwijskwaliteit).

Dat komt misschien ook omdat de Onderwijsraad zich door 25 niet-onderwijsgevenden heeft laten adviseren en maar 1 onderwijsgevende….

Deze twee weken voor Sinterklaas werken we rond muziek.
De kinderen maakten in groep aan de hand van een opdrachtfiche een muziekinstrument.
Ze maakten zelf een waterorgel, een panfluit, een trommel, een gitaar en enkele tamboerijnen.
Als visuele ondersteuning kregen de kinderen eerst een filmpje te zien van op schooltv.nl/beeldbank.
We maakten ook onze eigen muziek op deze plek, heel leuk.

Volgende week oefenen we een liedje in op de melodie van ‘big rock candy mountain‘ met onze eigen muzikale begeleiding.

Sehr geehrte Leser/innen:

Die Interessensgemeinschaft EFI hat uns ersucht folgenden Brief zu veröffentlichen, um Gefahren, Risken und Möglichkeiten einer Impfung zu hinterfragen.

Die Redaktion distanziert sich von diesem Schreiben, da wir keine Mediziner oder Fachärzte sind. Wir finden das Schreiben aber als Gedankenanregung interessant.

Hintergrundinformationen zu den Pandemieimpfstoffen
und die rechtlichen Konsequenzen

Dickelsmoor, 30.09.2009

Lieber (Impf-)Arzt,
im Zuge unserer kritischen Auseinandersetzung mit der angeblichen Schweinegrippe-Pandemie und
den demnächst geplanten Massenimpfungen sind wir auf einige interessante Hintergrundinformationen
gestoßen. Wir möchten Ihnen diese nicht vorenthalten und haben diese kurz für Sie zusammen
gefasst. Gerne dürfen Sie uns auch für Rückfragen kontaktieren.
1. Die neue H1N1-Influenza verläuft in der Regel symptomlos oder symptomarm. Schwere Verläufe
sind extrem selten und ursächlich durch eine, oft sogar mehrere, schwere Grunderkrankungen bedingt.
Eine Schwangerschaft hat sich nach unseren Recherchen nicht als Risikofaktor erwiesen, da
die Datenlage zu dünn ist

1,2. Bei einem fraglichen Todesfall (Raucherin, schweres Übergewicht, Diabetes,
schwere Sepsis mit Multiorganversagen) und fast 20.000 gemeldeten H1N1 Fällen beträgt die
Letalität in Deutschland trotz erhöhter Sensibilität praktisch Null. Die fortschreitende Durchseuchung
der Bevölkerung kann angenommen werden

3, da die wöchentlichen Erkrankungszahlen in
Deutschland seit Anfang August stark zurückgehen

4. Durch die kumulative Zählung der nationalen
und internationalen Gesundheitsbehörden soll das Abebben der Schweinegrippe-Welle verschleiert
werden. Ab Herbst werden respiratorische (ARE) und grippeähnliche Erkrankungen (ILI) insgesamt
veröffentlicht und Schweinegrippefälle nicht mehr gesondert erfasst

5. Die europäische Seuchenbehörde
hat Ende September die Zählung und Veröffentlichung der täglichen Schweinegrippemeldungen
eingestellt

6.  Zu Beginn der Pandemie hat die WHO im Mai 2009 die Kriterien für die Pandemiestufen geändert.
Epidemiologische Kriterien wie Morbidität, Mortalität und Letalität, spielen künftig keine Rolle mehr.
Lediglich die Verbreitung einer Infektionskrankheit bestimmt die Einstufung

7. Eine ansteckende Infektionskrankheit
in größeren Teilen der Bevölkerung in mehr als zwei Ländern reicht bereits aus,
um die höchste Stufe auszurufen. Die WHO betont in ihren derzeit gültigen Definitionen zwar, dass
damit keine Risikoabschätzung möglich sei8. Die Anweisungen für die einzelnen Pandemiestufen
seien vielmehr eine Art Arbeitsanweisung für die Gesundheitsbehörden und Pharmahersteller, wann
mit der Bestellung und Produktion von Impfstoffen und Medikamenten zu beginnen sei9. Leider hat
die WHO jedoch vergessen die völlig geänderten Zielsetzungen ihrer Pandemiedefinitionen zu veröffentlichen.
Die Presse und offensichtlich auch die Gesundheitsbehörden gehen nach wie vor davon
aus, dass die Stufe 6 mit einer massiven Gefährdung der Bevölkerung gleichzusetzen sei. Die ist
nicht der Fall. Sogar die Produktinformationen der Muster-Impfstoffe (Mock-Up) basieren auf der
bisherigen Pandemiedefinition und sehen die Impfung von Personen, die bereits früher mit schweren
allergischen Reaktionen bis hin zum anaphylaktischen Schock auf eine Influenzaimpfung reagiert
hatten, im Pandemiefall vor. Jedoch sollten dann sämtliche Voraussetzungen für lebenserhaltende
Maßnahmen bei der Verabreichung vorhanden sein10.
3. Vor einer Veränderung des Pandemievirus wird gewarnt. Durch Mutationen könnte ein unbekanntes
Virus mit hoher Pathogenität entstehen. Eine Mutation würde durch die Vermischung von verschiedenen
Influenzastämmen provoziert. Hier mutet es dann doch recht merkwürdig an, dass in den
USA sowohl für die saisonale als auch für die pandemische Influenza nasale Lebendimpfstoffe zugelassen
und verwendet werden

11. Der Genaustausch zwischen den verschiedenen Virusstämmen ist
geradezu vorprogrammiert.
4. Nicht einmal während des Höhepunkts der Pandemie gab es Reisewarnungen oder gar Reiseverbote.
Laut den Reiserücktrittversicherern ist eine Pandemie erst dann erreicht, wenn mind. 10 Millionen
Menschen weltweit erkrankt sind

12. Unsere damalige Bundesgesundheitsministerin Frau Ulla
Schmidt machte dann auch zur Hauptseuchenzeit Urlaub in einem Hauptseuchenland. Wollte sie gar

Informationsschreiben EFI – Eltern für Impfaufklärung die zügige und natürliche Immunisierung zum passenden Zeitpunkt während ihres Urlaubs erledigen?
Dann wäre ja die Benutzung ihres Dienstwagens in Ordnung gewesen. Ist die schnelle Durchseuchung
der Bevölkerung gar erwünscht? Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es nur konsequent, dass auch
das wirksamste epidemiologische Instrument, die Quarantäne von vorher allen sorgfältig ermittelten
Kontaktpersonen, von den Seuchenbehörden der USA und der EU nicht empfohlen wurde und
wird

13.
5. Tamiflu kann schwere Nebenwirkungen z.B. eine Pneumonie hervorrufen. Insbesondere zu
Schwangeren liegen bisher keinerlei klinischen Erfahrungen zu Tamiflu vor, da die Schwangerschaft
bisher eine Kontraindikation war

15. Es kann daher nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass die bei
Schwangeren verstärkt beobachteten Pneumonien eher eine Folge der antiviralen Behandlung als
der Influenza-Infektion ist.
6. Für die ersten 50 Millionen Impfstoffdosen wurde der Impfstoff Pandemrix bestellt. In diesem Impfstoff
ist das bisher noch nie verwendete Adjuvanz AS03 enthalten. Klinische Studien wurden erst an
ca. 5.000 gesunden Erwachsenen durchgeführt

16. Genau diese Bevölkerungsgruppe soll jedoch bei
den bald beginnenden Massenimpfungen nicht geimpft werden. Zu Kindern zwischen 3 und 6 Jahren
gibt es sehr beschränkte Daten. Zu Kindern jünger als drei Jahre oder zwischen 10 und 17 Jahre,
sowie zu Schwangeren liegen zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt überhaupt keine Daten zur Sicherheit vor.
Ebenso waren Hühnerei-Allergiker aus den Studien ausgeschlossen

17. Der Impfstoff wurde am
29.09.2009 von der EMEA zugelassen

18. Die oberste europäische Seuchenbehörde ECDC empfiehlt

19. ebenso wie die EMEA20 die Nutzen-Risiko-Abwägung erst am Ende oder nach den Massenimpfungen
vorzunehmen. Die Arzneimittelkommission der deutschen Ärzteschaft empfiehlt deshalb auch keine
Impfung der Schwangeren mit adjuvantierten Impfstoffen

21. Der Vizepräsidgent der Bundesärztekammer
zeigt denn auch „beunruhigt, dass die Verstärkersubstanz nicht getestet ist.“

22 Laut einer
Umfrage des Fachportals Hippokranet halten 93% der Ärzte Massenimpfungen für nicht angebracht

23.
7. Bisher gibt es keine offiziellen Impfempfehlungen der STIKO zur Pandemieimpfung, obwohl diese
bereits mehrfach angekündigt wurden. Die Influenzaimpfung ist bisher nur für bestimmte Risikogruppen,
für bestimmte Berufsgruppen und für ein bestimmtes Lebensalter empfohlen. Die eigentliche
Impfempfehlung, die für die Entschädigung bei einem Impfschaden ausschlaggebend ist, wird
jedoch von den jeweiligen Landesgesundheitsbehörden ausgesprochen. Diese übernehmen meist
einfach die STIKO-Empfehlungen. Manche Länderbehörden haben jedoch bereits die Influenza-
Impfung generell in ihren Impfkalender aufgenommen. Daher können die Entschädigungs- und Haftungsregelungen
von Bundesland zu Bundesland unterschiedlich sein. Dies sollte bei der Impfaufklärung
und der Impfentscheidung eine gewichtige Rolle spielen, da im Falle eines Impfschadens
der Nachweis der Kausalität bei einer öffentlich empfohlenen Impfung wesentlich einfacher zu
erbringen ist.
8. Der in Pandemrix verwendete Zusatzstoff

24. AS03 wurde bisher in keinem zugelassenen Impfstoff
verwendet. Bei diesem neuartigen Zusatzstoff werden die Bestandteile zu winzigen Tröpfchen von
einigen Hundert Nanometern zerschlagen

25. Sie sind damit in der Größe der Influenzaviren. Zusätzlich
wirkt das verwendete Tensid Tween 80 schädigend auf die Zellmembranen

26. Das im Adjuvanz
verwendete Squalen ist in den USA durch das Golfkriegssyndrom in Verruf geraten, da bei den betroffenen
Soldaten Antikörper dagegen gefunden worden waren

27. Bei dem im Zulassungsverfahren
befindenden Pandemie-Impfstoff Celtura wird neben dem ebenfalls Nanopartikel und Squalen enthaltenden
Adjuvanz auch ein neues Herstellungsverfahren auf stark tumorigenen Hundenierenzellen
(MDCK) eingesetzt. Durch das beschleunigte Zulassungsverfahren, für das vorab so gut wie keine
Studien zur Sicherheit gefordert werden, sparen sich die Hersteller jede Menge Zeit, Geld und Ärger.
Besonders tragisch ist, dass diese neuartigen Adjuvanzien die TH1-Abwehr stimulieren, die in
der Schwangerschaft von Natur start unterdrückt wird, um Abstoßungsreaktionen zu vermeiden. Eine
erhöhte Rate von Aborten bei den geimpften Schwangeren ist zu befürchten und kann auch von
der deutschen Zulassungsbehörde nicht entkräftet werden

28. Die WHO empfiehlt die Impfung
Schwangerer mit herkömmlichen Impfstoffen

29. Die USA verzichtet sowohl auf neue Herstellungsverfahren
(Zelllinien statt Hühnereier) als auch auf Adjuvanzien

30. Zu allem Überfluss ist in den Pandemieimpfstoffen
auch noch das bisher verpönte Thiomersal enthalten, weil die Auslieferung
grundsätzlich in Mehrdosenbehältern erfolgt31.

In den USA stehen für Kinder und Schwangere thiomersalfreie
Einzeldosen zur Verfügung

9. Jeder Arzt hat die juristische Pflicht den Impfling vor einer Impfung so aufzuklären, dass dieser mündig
in die Impfung einwilligen kann

33. Auch über seltene Risiken muss verständlich aufgeklärt werInformationsschreiben
EFI – Eltern für Impfaufklärung
den

34. Andernfalls erfüllt die Impfung den Straftatbestand der Körperverletzung. Erst zum Ende der
Massenimpfungen wird es erste Daten zur Impfstoffsicherheit geben. Aus unserer Sicht ist eine Impfung
derzeit daher automatisch eine Körperverletzung. Die Impfung von Schwangeren ist nach unserer
Auffassung ein schwerer Kunstfehler, da die EMEA und die WHO bei den Impfempfehlungen
für Schwangere zum einen von den herkömmlich produzierten Impfstoffen ohne Adjuvanzien und
zum anderen von einer schweren Pandemie ausgegangen waren. In den Produktinformationen der
Pandemieimpfstoffe wird auf die fehlenden Daten zum Risiko von Impfungen in der Schwangerschaft
hingewiesen. Bis heute liegt zur Impfung von Schwangeren bei dem derzeit in Deutschland
ablaufenden Infektionsgeschehen von den verantwortlichen Bundes- und Landesgesundheitsbehörden
keine verbindliche und konkrete Impfempfehlung vor, die Lage ist unübersichtlich35. In dem
bis heute geheimen Vertrag zwischen den Gesundheitsbehörden und den Herstellern wurden der
Hersteller von der Produkthaftung auch bei nicht in der Produktinformation aufgeführten Nebenwirkungen
befreit36. Aus all diesen Gründen haben wir dazu aufgerufen, dass sich medizinisch und
rechtlich Geschädigte bei uns zwecks Unterstützung melden sollen.
Unsere Ausführungen sind keinesfalls als rechtlicher Rat zu verstehen. Bitte ziehen Sie auf jeden Fall
einen Anwalt Ihres Vertrauens zu Rate.

Wir hoffen sehr, dass diese Informationen für Sie hilfreich waren und dass sich die Ärzte unseres Vertrauens
schützend auf unsere Seite, d.h. auf die Seite der Patienten und nicht die der Politik, Lobbyisten
und damit der Pharmaindustrie, stellen.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit.

Faces and Mazes: Lia Cook at University of North Texas Gallery

A-Maze Doll by Lia Cook, 2008

 

Faces and Mazes: Lia Cook
University of North Texas Gallery
Through December 12, 2009

California artist Lia Cook shows the rosy-cheeked faces of young girls in her artwork intricately woven into maze-like patterns using an electronic Jacquard loom.

Ten of Cook’s large-scale fiber works, along with smaller examples, will be on display Nov. 10 (Tuesday) – Dec. 12 (Saturday) in the exhibition, Faces and Mazes: Lia Cook, at the University of North Texas Art Gallery in the UNT Art Building, one block west of Mulberry and Welch streets.

“The pieces are captivating in their scale and craftsmanship, and these qualities draw you in and encourage you to consider Cook’s imagery and its possible meanings,” said Tracee Robertson, director of the UNT Art Gallery.

Cook will deliver a lecture about her art at 7 p.m. Nov. 19 (Thursday) in the Eagle Student Services Center, Room 225, across from Willis Library with parking on Highland Street between avenues A and C. The traveling exhibition is organized by the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

Cook is one of the first fiber artists to use the electronic Jacquard handloom as a fine art tool. Inspired by being in touch with childhood nostalgia, Cook’s juxtaposition of rose-cheeked flesh and glass countenances remarks on humanness and the texture of living, as well as the stereotype or expectation that young girls are doll-like.

Visit www.gallery.unt.edu for more information, including a link to a recorded lecture by Cook and additional info from the originating venue.

This catalogue and exhibition tour was made possible with the support of the Textiles, Clothing and Design Department, which is housed in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Friends of Fiber Art International have provided additional support, as have the host venues. The Friends of the Robert Hillstad Textiles Gallery provide ongoing support to the gallery for programming. At UNT, Faces & Mazes: Lia Cook is made possible in part by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts and by contributions from the College of Visual Arts and Design Studio Department and the Fibers program.

Universal Studios aims to draw 4.5m visitors; 20 rides to open next year

AT around S$70 per entry to Universal Studios Singapore (USS), Genting Singapore, which invested more than S$1 billion in the theme park could reap around S$315 million a year in ticket sales alone.

Speaking at a news conference yesterday, Douglas Trueblood, general manager (sales & marketing) for Universal Parks and Resorts, said the target is to attract 4.5 million visitors a year to the theme park at Resorts World at Sentosa (RWS), which is owned by Genting Singapore.

Assuming USS sells 4.5 million tickets at S$70 apiece, ticket sales could hit S$315 million.

Mr Trueblood did not reveal ticket prices, but Genting Singapore chairman and CEO Lim Kok Thay has said they will be lower than those at other Universal Studios theme parks.

Earlier estimates by analysts put the entry price at around S$80, compared with about US$70 in the US and 5,800 yen in Japan.

Analysts at Morgan Stanley Research (Asia-Pacific) expect entry prices to USS to be even lower at around S$70.

In a recent Morgan Stanley Research report, it was also estimated that USS could register total revenue of S$388 million for 2010, S$491 million for 2011 and S$545 million for 2012. This includes revenue from merchandising and F&B.

Interestingly, Morgan Stanley Research said Genting Singapore can offer cheaper entry tickets because of the lower construction cost of USS at about US$1 billion, which it said is about half the cost of Universal Studios Japan.

Morgan Stanley Research noted that no details have been made public on the USS franchise fee, but said it is likely that RWS will have to pay an upfront fee as well as a share of gross profit to Universal Studios once the theme park is operating.

Giving an update on USS which is in the final stages of construction, Mr Trueblood said that of the park’s 24 rides, 20 will open next year, with 18 of them original or adapted for Singapore.

Universal Parks & Resorts chairman and CEO Tom Williams said: ‘Universal Studios Singapore will be a unique experience and family destination with many new rides, shows and themes that can’t be found at other Universal Studios parks.’

USS will consist of seven themed zones that surround a man-made lagoon. The zones are: The Lost World; Ancient Egypt; Sci-Fi City; New York; Hollywood; Madagascar; and Far Far Away. Rides including the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, WaterWorld and Revenge of the Mummy will be located within these zones.

Mr Trueblood revealed that a Transformers attraction will open in 2011 and other new attractions will be added in turn. ‘Over the years, we will evolve,’ he said.

Marriage is the union of two individuals and this union can be best described in the quote of Franz Joseph — “Two souls with but a single thought, Two heart that beat as one”. Wedding is a dream for every single person. It is a wonderful and lovely idea to get married. And hence, marriage should be well planned and organized. If the wedding is organized in the church, then Church Wedding Decoration is the focal point of attention. Church Wedding Decorations should truly be unique so that your guests remember it for lifetime. However, it should always be remembered that the church is a House of Worship and in any way the sanctity and purity of the atmosphere should not be marred.

In fact, Church Wedding Decoration calls for minimal décor. And some of the churches have also laid down certain rules regarding the décor of the church for any official ceremony like wedding.

Hence, these points should always be considered while planning for Church Wedding.

Church Wedding Decorations should be planned keeping in mind the space required for the guests and for the holy congregation. It should have your personal mark on it. And traditional Church Wedding Decoration is mostly based on adding lace, crystals, pearls and beads to linen, candles, centerpieces, candelabras, flowers and other dry floral arrangements to enhance the purity of the place. In fact, magnetic Candle Decoration is much loved by all. The added beauty is definitely going to provide shine, shimmer and sparkle to your wedding décor.

Church pew decorations are also part of the Church Wedding Decoration. For your conventional Wedding Décor, how about decorating the altar with orchids and lilies? This will surely attach striking elegance to the wedding ceremony. To make it simple and inexpensive, you can also think about daisies, carnations and tulips. Or are you thinking about the out and out simple idea of attaching white bow at the end of a pew? However, you can make it more interesting as the decoration is only limited to your imagination! You can try the idea of inviting baby’s wreath (flower) to your church decoration. This will make the pew decoration quite romantic, idealistic and dreamy.

Draping fabric of gossamer or organza or any other material is also a great idea for pew decoration. The bride can choose the fabric of her choice and arrange for the décor of the church or chapel. This can be quite expensive but a very gorgeous decoration. You can also use tulle or tulle swag to hang on the walls—making the décor a breathtaking image for all! You can make greenery the part of floral decorations too. Consider balloons also for the decoration. Helium balloon arches are quite common and look wonderful.

For the Church Wedding Decoration, you can also give a thought to theme-based decorations. The most common is the color theme for the décor. This is easy, comfortable and in the budget too. You can choose the favorite color of the bride or bridegroom or both. Mix n match everything to bring about a colorful and enjoyable wedding ceremony. In this way, you can even share your sentiments and emotions with your family and friends. How about inviting an adorned Christmas Tree to your wedding? Decorate the tree with various ornaments and make it a part of your wedding. There are other themes also that you can choose like beach theme, heart theme, or cowboy theme.

Again, search for organza or satin bows, fall leaves theme, snowflakes markers, calla lily aisle decorations, pew cones, western pew bows, Cinderella pew decorations, florist ready bows and more. Make your church Wedding Decoration unique and one-of-its-kind for one and all to cherish forever.

When it comes to your wedding, you need to make sure that you choose the right colors. After all, your wedding colors are going to play a very big role in the overall mood that you want to set for the wedding. Today we are going to talk about picking out the best colors and what you should look for. We will also talk about choosing wedding colors that go with seasonal themes. This way you never have to feel like you are choosing the wrong color again.

First of all, your wedding style needs to be reflected in the wedding style that you choose. For example, you can easily choose colors that match the wedding flowers that are going to be used or the bridesmaid dresses. This is not an easy task, however, because sometimes people want to choose the wedding flowers and dresses based on the wedding colors that you pick out! When this happens, then you have to come up with the best overall colors for the wedding.

Now, when it comes to seasonal themes, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. First of all, we are going to talk about Spring and Summer since these are the seasons that people are most likely to choose. For Spring and Summer, it is best to use things like mint green and ice blue. People normally also like golds and yellows, as well as a lilac color. These are not the only colors that go great with Spring and Summer weddings, but it will help you to get started.

If you are having a Fall and Winter wedding, then you need to go with a Crepe Red or a navy Blue. Sometimes even a Tango Red or a Cinnamon color goes great with these kinds of weddings. People normally like hunter green for winter weddings as well. Do keep in mind that these are just suggestions, and if you do not like these kinds of colors, then you should not use them, because you will not be happy with the overall look and feel of your wedding.

Now, if you choose to mix your wedding colors, then you have to keep a few things in mind as well. For example, some colors work better in the background. A yellow or gold background, for instance, could look really nice against a tango red. Next, be sure that you start off with your base color first. From the base color, then you can start making lighter or darker shades from there.

No matter what you do, the season is going to have some kind of effect on the colors that you choose. For example, bright colors are normally a great thing to use during the spring. However, darker and richer tones could be the best thing to use during the fall and winter months.

Now, after you finally pick out the wedding colors that you want, it’s time to make sure that your other colors fit in with it. This means that now the bridesmaid dresses and wedding flowers need to fit in with the colors that you have chosen. Do not worry about telling them what kind of colors they have to use, because they had their chance to tell you what colors they liked. Now it’s your turn to tell them what colors they are going to wear. Also keep in mind that flowers are going to normally be the centerpiece at most of the tables where your guests are sitting, meaning that, if you do not have flowers that match, then you are going to end up with a theme that does not look like it goes together very well.

Overall, you need to remember that weddings need to flow. The more things that you can have that look like they go together, the better off your wedding is going to look. Just remember that wedding colors do not have to follow certain themes if you do not want your wedding to be traditional.

Remember that it is your wedding overall, and you do not have to take other peoples’ ideas. If you want to mix and match colors until your eyes pop out of your head, then that is your call, and no one can tell you differently. However, if you want your wedding to flow and not look like it does not go together, then you need to be sure that you choose colors that, not only go with each other, but go with the overall theme of your wedding. For example, a beach themed wedding will need more earthy tones than weddings that are based on a more traditional wedding theme. Keeping these ideas in mind can make sure that your wedding is everything that you want it to be. Be sure to keep people who are planning your wedding up-to-date with colors that you choose as well.

A popular topic for brides and grooms is maintaining the wedding theme or design in weddings, and this can be done with the help of unique wedding reception decorations, table decor and design.

Planning a wedding is a fun and special event for the bride and groom-to-be. There is so much that needs to be done to decorate for the wedding in order to make the festive occasion simply perfect. One important detail that needs to be tended to with any wedding is that of wedding decorations. From simple to decadent, there is a decoration for the wedding reception tables to fit every taste imaginable.

Wedding Bells and Hearts

Perhaps nothing says wedding more so than decorations consisting of wedding bells and hearts. These items come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. Whether one is looking to decorate the aisles and pews at the church for the wedding ceremony or looking for perfect wedding table decorations for the wedding reception, there is so much to choose from when it comes to wedding bells and hearts. For church decorations, try placing 3-D paper wedding bells on the end of each church pew to give the church a little extra wedding flair. As for the reception, heart candleholders can be placed on each of the reception tables with white candles for some added ambience.

Beautiful Candles Exude the Feel of Wedding Day Romance

Another spectacular decorative item for the ceremony, reception or both is wedding candles. These candles can come in any style, scent and color. Whether the ceremony and reception are taking place during the day or night, candles add greatly to the special occasion. There are many companies which produce wedding decorations such as candles exclusively for wedding ceremonies and receptions. Not only can the couple choose their favorite color for the candles but they may also be able to get the candles and/or candleholders personalized with their wedding day information.

Floral Centerpieces

Another highly sought after wedding decoration piece is the floral centerpiece. Flowers look fantastic anywhere at a wedding ceremony or reception but if one is looking to find the perfect touch for the center of their tables, a floral centerpiece will definitely do the trick. These centerpieces can be high or low, modest or full. It all depends on the individual tastes and budget of the couple who is planning the wedding. A great touch to floral centerpieces is to choose wedding colors as the main floral color scheme. This really brings the whole room together and makes everything exquisitely coordinated.

Wedding Theme Place Card Holders

For those couples who are having assigned seating at their wedding reception tables, wedding theme place card holders are a great way to dress up the table. There is a variety of wedding theme place card holders available for sale where individuals can choose to advertise the number of the table or the name of the guests. Some examples of these holders include bride and groom figurines, silver wedding bells and gold heart place card holders. This is a great wedding reception table decoration sure to delight all who attend the special event.

There are so many ways in which the couple can make their day that much more special and one way is to go all out when it comes to choosing the perfect wedding decorations for the big day.

Ask your caterer about the availability of children’s plates. This is a practical and sensible way to reduce wedding expenses. Many couples aren’t aware that, at a reduced cost, most caterers can create smaller portions for the little people on your guest list, who normally don’t eat as much as adults. In fact, often you can request something which will have more appeal to the little guys anyhow, such as cheese burgers or chicken fingers and fries instead of the more fussy food you and your adult guests will likely be dining on. Children’s plates are typically available at dramatically lower costs than your cost per plate for adults. While children’s plates make a great deal of sense from a couple of different stand points, particularly that of your budget, many caterers will not mention their availability unless you specifically enquire or request such a thing. This is because they will make greater profit on adult plates.

1. ‘Tis the season…. Looking for affordable bridesmaid dresses? Try shopping for them during the holiday season – but not in expensive bridal salons. Department stores such Sears, for example, generally carry an excellent selection of glamourous cocktail and evening dresses as the season for parties approaches – but at much lower prices than what you’d pay for similar “bridesmaid dresses” in a bridal boutique. With just a quick look though a local department store before firing off this tip, I was able to find an array of gorgeous styles priced at a mere $49! An entire world of fabulous finds can definately be found for well under $100. So when the season of good cheer rolls around, it’s time to grab your girls and hit the mall! If rock bottom prices are what you have in mind, here’s an even better suggestion: Scour the stores towards the end of the holiday season when prices are being heavily marked down, and cash in on the clearance sales for even greater savings!

2.  Number those reply cards! Many a bride has a huge headache on her hands when, as sometimes happens, the occasional reply card is sent back with no names filled in. Clearly an oversight on the part of the guest who sent it, but how do you figure out who on earth it came from? Here’s a little trick which will ensure that you avoid this problem all together – place a small, inconspicuous number on the back of each reply card before enclosing it with the invitation. Use a list to record each guest’s name along with the number on the reply card you are enclosing for them. That way, if someone should forget to fill in their name, a quick glance at your list will tell you precisely who the reply belongs to.

3. Making your own invitations? Save money by using reply postcards instead of the usual reply cards with envelopes. Postage rates for postcards are about 13 cents less than the rate for stamping envelopes (Remember, you must pre-stamp the reply cards for your guests!) Plus, by using postcards you’ll also save the expense of envelopes. Simply print the response information on one side of the card, and your address on the other side.

4. Make sure your florist includes at least a little bit of ivy in your bouquet. This lush green climbing vine symbolizes fidelity and is traditionally used in bridal bouquets for that special symbolism.

5. Be sure to “break in” the shoes you will be wearing on your wedding day in advance. If your new shoes aren’t stretched a little before the big day, your feet may be killing you before you even make it to the reception. This has been an unpleasant distraction for many a bride on her wedding day, don’t let it put a damper on yours! Spend several hours wearing your bridal shoes around the house in the weeks before the wedding and you’ll have no problem kicking up your heels long into the wee hours when the big day arrives.

6. Be sure to have pictures taken of your reception site before your guests arrive, while everything is still in place and looking fabulous! Later, you’ll love looking back on these pictures which will so perfectly capture the way in which everything you envisioned for your wedding was transformed into reality.

7. This piece of expert advice comes to us from Ann, a wedding consultant with over 30 years of experience – and the owner of the bridal consulting firm of Bergin-Bryant, Inc. in the New England area. Check out the insider information she provides about booking a limousine for your big day…

“I have a few questions I always ask limo services before booking them for my clients:

a. Are the drivers properly attired in livery and cap….or are they inappropriately attired in tuxedos? To be technically correct according to traditional etiquette, drivers should wear livery and cap, but many companies send them out in tuxes instead.

b. Aside from the usual vanity license plate, is there any advertising on the limo…such as in the rear window? If so, is it a cling that they can pull off?

c. What brand of champagne do they serve…usually its pretty cheap…..so ask!”

8.The Games Photographers Play…

Everyone knows that before booking a photographer one should visit his or her studio to view their work. What you may not know is that the photos you are viewing may not be the work of the photographer you are considering hiring! Some photographers purchase beautiful wedding photos from photography industry suppliers and wholesalers, which they then hang in their own studios. This understandably leads the prospective clients inevitably to believe that they are viewing the work of the photographer in question. This practice is far more common than you might imagine, and although it may be misleading, in most jurisdictions there is nothing illegal about it as long as the photographer doesn’t explicitly and specifically tell you he took the particular photo(s). So what can you do? How will you know? ASK! That’s right, ask the photographer specifically if all of the photos on display were taken by him or her. Unless you are dealing with someone really unscrupulous, most will tell you the truth if asked this question directly – although there are never any guarantees. So buyer beware! As always, exercise caution and ask a lot of questions. When booking a photographer, you should always insist on references from previous clients, and check those references! You should also ask for the names and telephone numbers of the couples in the photos you are being shown, and do a very careful reference check to ensure that they are legit!

9. Forget about trying to keep all of your wedding planning details organized by writing them in a book, binder, or 3-ring planner – that’s a disaster waiting to happen. Weddings are huge projects, and they require excellent project management – you should be using wedding planning software. This is the secret to how the best weddings are being planned today.

Wedding decor can encompass many different aspects of your wedding. This can include an archway, table decor, flowers, and lighting. Take these steps to make sure that your wedding decor is something of which you can easily be proud, on any budget. Choose a Theme A garden type wedding, a tropical wedding, a traditional wedding, a unique, one of a kind wedding. Whatever you like, allow this to be the theme for your wedding. And pull this throughout the entire wedding, involving all of the decor. Chances area that if you choose items that appeal to you instead of giving in to other people, you will create your own theme. Everyone has unique tastes and yours should reflect your tastes. Choosing a theme may make choosing the appropriate wedding decor easier. Be Consistent If you have a garden wedding at the church and walk under a spring like arch and then get to your reception which is studded out like a Bedouin tent, it is going to look strange. You should be consistent with your wedding decor. There is nothing wrong with having eclectic tastes, but try to focus on a single theme for your wedding decor or else your guests will feel like they are in a haze. Matching Colors If the bridesmaids dresses are lilac, the flowers are lilac and you are having lilac and white colors throughout your wedding, you do not want red or blue chair covers or green table cloths. Make sure that the wedding decor at the reception matches the wedding decor at the church. Pick two colors and stick with them. Floral Centerpieces If you have floral centerpieces on the tables, be aware that the flowers used should mirror the flowers that are part of the ceremony. This mean the type of flower, too. If you have real flowers for your wedding, silks do not belong at the table. The style and color of the flowers should also match the wedding decor. Chair Coverings Many wedding banquet halls are offering chair coverings for an additional price. Most of the halls will also match the swatch of the bridesmaids dresses with the bow around the chair covering. This expense is well worth it. If you have ever walked into a reception that does not have chair coverings as opposed to those that do, you will notice the difference right away. This is one bit of wedding décor you do not want to do without. Candles Candles should also match the color scheme of the wedding and can make excellent centerpieces as well as add to the wedding decor. You can also, if allowed, opt for a candlelight ceremony at the church. This may also be allowed for part of the reception. You would not want all of your reception to be in candlelight, however, as most people will not be able to see one another. The secret to having tasteful wedding decor is that everything ties in with the theme of the wedding, the colors match and that the wedding does not look thrown together at the last minute, but put together with care.

01. tentukan konsep album foto maksudnya adalah mau dijadikan bentuk seperti apa album yang kita inginkan. contoh-contoh konsep untuk sebuah album foto foto pre wedding di antaranya :

* sekadar kumpulan foto indah dengan lokasi indah (seperti album foto konvensional atau prewedding foto)

* konsep sebuah ceritera sebagaimana skenario film atau sinetron

* konsep kalender yang dapat menggambarkan perubahan suasana dari musim ke musim * konsep komik dengan word balloons berisi kalimat-kalimat lucu

* konsep majalah di mana ada halaman muka, pengantar redaksi, halaman isi, berbagai halaman rubrik

* dan konsep-konsep lain sesuai imajinasi pasangan pre-wedding

02. Tentukan Tema Foto tema foto prewedding mengacu kepada nuansa (suasana dan setting) yang ingin dimunculkan dari karya foto. beberapa contoh tema misalnya: etnik (javanese, minang, chinese, arabic, sundanese), kolonial, masa remaja, oriental, horror, wild western (seperti film-film koboi), casual, office environment, futuristik, luar angkasa, gurun pasir, hutan amazon, dan sebagainya sesuai imajinasi pasangan pre-wedding.

03. Pilih Kostum dan Lokasi pemilihan tema di atas sangat penting karena akan menentukan langkah selanjutnya yakni pemilihan kostum dan lokasi pemotretan atau prewedding foto. banyak lokasi pre wedding foto di indonesia tersedia untuk mendukung berbagai tema yang diinginkan. banyak tempat di kota-kota besar juga menyediakan jasa penyewaan kostum pre wedding untuk berbagai tema tersebut. jika bingung dengan tema pre wedding dan daya imajinasi sedang mentok, tema casual yang ringan bisa dijadikan pilihan terakhir

04. Pilih Fotografer yang Tepat ketiga tips di atas merupakan langkah awal yang sebaiknya dilakukan pasangan pre-wedding. langkah selanjutnya adalah memilih fotografer foto prewedding yang cocok untuk keperluan sesuai tema. jika tema yang dipilih menuntut banyak pemotretan di studio foto pre wedding dengan menggunakan berbagai efek pencahayaan buatan, maka fotografer dengan spesialis outdoor kurang dapat memberikan pelayanan yang memuaskan. sebaliknya, jika sesi pemotretan pre wedding foto akan banyak dilakukan di luar ruangan dengan kondisi alam yang mendekati ekstrim (misal sangat panas, sangat dingin, sangat basah, dll), maka pilihlah fotografer yang memang tangguh dan handal untuk kondisi-kondisi semacam itu. Demikianlah sekadar tips agar karya foto pre-wedding memiliki nilai lebih.
