Why I "changed" my first name

Why on Earth have I “changed” my first name? Why have I gone, after 30 years, from Maria to Majo? It started with an interview I had on the podcast with Emily LaFave Olson. She went back to her maiden name after taking her husband’s name. That felt ballsy (more like ovarian!) to me. Here’s a woman who reclaims her original family name, who makes a very large statement to the patriarchy, and who works with her husband so he doesn’t feel emasculated when she takes back her maiden name.

This conversation planted a seed in my mind. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a tricky relationship with my own first name “Maria José.” When I was two, we immigrated to Canada and kids made fun of my name – especially the José part because it was a boy’s name. Kids would taunt me by saying things like, "No way, José." As an immigrant trying to fit into a predominantly white English culture, I decided to cut out the José and make everybody else’s life simple – so there I was, just “Maria.” And how many immigrants or children of immigrants do you know who do this? So many beautiful names become essentially “colonized,” ripped from their mother language to make everybody else’s life easier.

At home, my parents called me by my full Argentinean name, either “Maria José” (especially when I was in trouble) or the nickname “Majo” (which is Ma from Maria, combined with Jo from José,  pronounced Ma-ho), or the nickname’s diminutive “Majito.” And at home is where I felt I most belonged and could be myself. In other words, my closest family calls me Majo.

In studying the heroine’s journey, I’ve learned that whether you’re a woman, minority, or someone who doesn’t fit into the dominant paradigm or system, you have to give a part of yourself up. There’s a part of yourself you learn to suppress, repress, erase, or obliterate so that you can assimilate and get by – so that you can avoid standing out. For some of us it’s in a big way, and for some of us it’s more subtle and sneaky, like our names.

As a creative woman, maybe you too have learned to suppress your very creativity, femininity, desires, feelings, shadow, magic, or overall witchiness because mainstream society can’t handle it and because women have been hunted for it in the past. The fear is real and deep: “If I’m weird, I might be killed.”

So, the truth is I haven’t changed my name, but have reclaimed myself. And in the process, I’ve learned a lot. First, it was hard for me to let myself be messy and transitional. I experimented with both “Maria José” and “Majo” and after some time, realized that “Majo” felt better and easier in this phase of my life as it would still allow me to have representation from the feminine (Ma) and masculine (Jo) sides of myself while still leading with the feminine.

And in researching the meanings for “Majo,” I was astounded: playful predecessor to the Flamenco dancer, “witch” in Japanese (swear on the Goddess), and the title given to empress-nuns in 12th Century Tibetan Buddhism.

It was clear to me that though this is my birth name, it was also given to me now by Spirit and my ancestors as I continue to enter into more power, confidence, and wisdom.

But still, the process of going from Maria to Majo is inconvenient (think about everywhere I’m plastered online) to seemingly burdensome to other people. After all, this was changing my first name and “personal brand” – the phase has felt awkward at first for some clients, friends, and family members who have always known me as Maria. Additionally, the "j" in Majo can be confusing to many English-speakers coming across it for the first time in written form, as the Spanish "j" is pronounced as an "h" in English.

But what I’ve also learned is this: If people truly love you, they want you to change. If people want you to fit an idea they have of you, they want you to stay the same. People gravitate towards comfort, and change is uncomfortable and sometimes confusing. In a recent interview with Grace Bonney from Design Sponge (coming out in a few weeks), she shared the importance of letting yourself evolve, even under the public eye. Let your brand, let your vision, let everything that you are change and grow and evolve. Your true supporters will respect and understand that. They’ll embrace and even celebrate it.

There’s so much we “default into” in this lifetime – choices we don’t make that are authentic to our true selves, but decisions and situations we literally default into. What would it mean to question these defaults and find a way to more greatly align with our higher purpose? It’s scary and seldom done. It's a privilege, but also an inevitable outgrowth of being intentionally on the path to evolve, and definitely a part of the heroine's journey.

It’s a special, historical, and polarizing time. Women everywhere are reclaiming their maiden names and words like feminism, nasty, and pussy. Immigrants are honoring, even protecting their mother tongues, cultures, and original names. It’s an important time for us to align into greater authenticity and purpose, take a stand against hegemonic forces that impose assimilation instead of celebrating differences and diversity.

So, sisters, to conclude: I have transitioned now from Maria to Majo, so please call me Majo. Don’t worry, Maria is still in there! She’s been integrated with José now.

This explanation has been long overdue and thank you for taking the time to read. But this little change is an example of something greater, a greater pattern about becoming more of who we are.

Do not be afraid to change, even after you’ve invested so much in one direction or way of being. You can still change if it feels authentic. Take what has always been yours. Reclaim it. Share it proudly. And don’t worry about naysayers, energy-vampires, haters, backlash, and other people’s discomfort – that’s all part of the process. Your lovers and friends will stand by you.

White-throated Kingfishers nesting behavior

Early in the New Year the Chestnut-headed Bee-eaters are busy hunting bees and going about their nesting duties. Paddyfield Pipits patrol the grassy area that was my 'studio'.

In the same area I estimate there are 4-5 pairs of White-throated Kingfishers. Last year my two favorite pair had a couple of attempts at nesting.  It was quite clear that there were some problems because they were actively feeding and suddenly gave up. I have written a previous blog about their hunting behavior.....this one covers a successful nesting cycle.
Normally 4-7 eggs are laid by the female in a cavity inside a tunnel that is around 24 inches long.  Eggs are laid on different days so that there is a difference in chick size and clearly the ability to compete for food. The female of the pair last year had several toes missing and certainly by the end of the season in July she looked rather ragged. The male appeared to have have taken another mate this year. This female was a beautiful specimen with immaculate feathers and a deeper than normal blue coloration. She was a little naïve at times when hunting larger prey but quickly learnt to adapt.  This species of kingfisher communicate with each other by a form of semaphore whereby they open the wings either very briefly of for sustained periods. It is thought that the white patch on their wings provides a clear visual signal to each other. They also call frequently.

In the early months of 2013 the pair hunted individually or together. Sometimes the male could be seen giving his catch to the female.

Mating usually takes place early in the pre-dawn hours. I saw the pair under observation mate several times around 7am as early as the end of January.

There was a well-established nest hole on a muddy bank that was used last year but this was ignored and a new nest cavity was made further along the same bank.

The kingfishers favorite perching tree was nearby and this provided a staging post for hunting and for trips to the nest. Eggs hatch 20-22 days after laying and in early April I was pleased to see them feeding the new nest.  There were the remains of a dead tree about 4 meters from the nest that they often landed on prior to entering the nest cavity. I was surprised to see the size and variety of prey delivered to chicks that would only have been days old. Both parents were busy feeding the nest with prey ranging from small insects to skinks and frogs. One prey looked like fledgling chicks from another bird species. Towards the end of the feeding the female made trips to he nest in a bit over four hours.

After arriving on the skeletal tree they aimed at the nest hole and took off. Delivery and the return was over quickly .............the prey must have been dumped in the first gaping mouth. It was noted that when a frog was caught it was placed in a 'streamline' position in the beak to be readily received by the chicks

The Red-wattled Lapwings had nests on the ground nearby and later small chicks but these birds aggressively chased off foraging kingfishers. The Bee-eater species had changed with the Blue-throated having taken over from the Chestnut-headed. They were mating and digging holes to raise their brood.

It was fortuitous that the early morning light was at right angles to the line the kingfishers took from the tree to their nest hole. This allowed for high ISO settings and speeds up to 1/4000th second to record the action with incoming prey. My shots were done with a 500mm lens, either on its own or with a 1.4x extender that narrows the focal depth but smoothens the background. All shooting was done from a car window on a beanbag. It is pertinent to add that at no time were the Kingfishers stressed or deviated from their normal behavior by my/our presence.

I could only place the egg hatching within 3 days but from my reckoning the first chicks fledged 20-22 days from hatching. When the first chicks fledged the parents stopped feeding the nest…no doubt pre-occupied trying to provide for the demanding fledglings.  The newly fledged chicks were competent fliers, had under-developed tails , white eye-rings, darker bills and less flamboyant leg coloration

Like many things in nature it would be a survival of the fittest with the first hatchlings having a considerable advantage over those that were last. It was nonetheless satisfying to see the cycle of life with these kingfishers that had provided, entertainment, information and photo-opportunities. As the kingfishers complete their cycle the Blue-throated Bee-eaters are silhouetted by the sunrise waiting to complete their breeding cycle.

Top things people hate about mobile shopping

View Caption Hide Caption

If you shop with your smart phone, chances are you’ve run into problems placing an order online.

Misclicks, slow-loading websites and small images and text make mobile shopping a challenge, according to a survey conducted by Bizrate Insights, a division of Connexity.

Bizrate surveyed more than 100,000 shoppers last year and complied this list of their 8 biggest complaints about shopping on mobile devices:

Too much pinching, zooming and misclicks

The number one mobile pain point that one-third of all online shoppers cited was the need to constantly enlarge their screen in order to click the right thing.

Mobile experiences that require a lot of zooming not only frustrate people, they tend to cause a lot of “misclicks” which send the user to a new page unintentionally. This can lead to a frustrating experience, wasted loading time and a higher bounce rate.

Slow load time

The only thing slower than mobile load times is the e-commerce response to the problem; “slow mobile loading” is bemoaned so often that some brands accept it as inevitable.

Inconsistent Product Availability

The mobile and desktop shopping experience are bound to look different on the surface, but shoppers hate it when they are fundamentally different.

Text is too small to read

This problem is widely known, but it remains a persistent complaint by mobile shoppers… clearly there is a gap between what retailers assume is “readable,” and what shoppers can tolerate.

Don’t make me type!

Screens have gotten larger, but mobile shoppers still don’t like typing on their mobile phones—and let’s be honest, they probably never will.

Images are too small

Great mobile shopping experiences require a delicate balance; space is extremely limited, but content must be large enough to read.

E-tailers must be more thoughtful in their mobile content prioritization, and the number one priority on their list should always be images. Product images are the bread and butter of an e-Commerce business, and in mobile they are even more crucial. Mobile shoppers don’t want to type and click, they want to seamlessly browse through visuals and inspiration.

Limited product information

Mobile shoppers who are seriously considering a purchase want the same amount of product info as they would on desktop.

Data security concerns

In the wake of so many public data breaches, consumer concerns over data security remain alive and well. Bizrate Insights found that nearly 2/3 of American shoppers don’t trust retailers with their payment and personal information.

‘Manchester: In Residents’ … #19: Rachel

‘I spent two years trying to say the word ‘bitch’ with a straight face and writing a column about my imaginary cat, Tobey…’

What’s your name?

Rachel Dawn Winterbottom. I’ve always hated my surname because it means I have to frequently say ‘bottom’ in public (less fun than it sounds). At university I misguidedly tried to make ‘Rae’ happen for me, but, thanks to a school friend’s dad, it made me feel like a 40-year-old man with a handlebar moustache.

What do you do?

I am an Assistant Editor for the Centre for Pharmacy Postgraduate Education at the University of Manchester. This involves editing learning materials used by NHS pharmacists and pharmacy technicians working in England who have to do continuing professional development in order to stay registered within their profession. Although, when asked, I usually just say ‘I’m an Assistant Editor at the university’, because it’s cruel to expect people to feign interest for that long.

I initially started working at the university on a temporary contract in the Production department at Manchester University Press, around about the same time I began a Publishing MA at UCLan. The Dream was to move to London and work in science fiction and fantasy publishing, but apparently there are only two of those kinds of jobs available in the UK and they’re currently occupied.

I’m also a freelance writer and I’ve been writing film reviews and culture articles for Manchester Confidential for four years. After another fifty to sixty years of this I will have worked off at least part of my Creative Writing degree and made it all worthwhile.

Where do you live?

Stalybridge. Which is sort of Greater Manchester if you’re terrible at geography and overreaching in your optimism. It’s a town that’s had its centre disrupted by the arrival of a Tesco but can still boast a Sandwich and Tripe Shop. It’s the sort of place that as a teenager you vow you will leave and never come back to, and then you become an adult and return with depressing inevitability. It contains some of the greatest people I know, and it’s home.

Tell us the story of how you ended up in Manchester.

Despite my parents living in Tameside, thanks to some quirk of fate I was born in Saint Mary’s Hospital in town, so I started off life in Manchester.

I moved to Wakefield for university, then afterwards I stayed in Leeds to be near my boyfriend. I didn’t feel any connection to these cities the way I did with Manchester. The streets of Leeds always felt so regimented and inflexible, like nothing could ever disrupt its grid-like structure or fill in the gaps between Nandos and Miss Selfridges with a bit of soul.

Then in 2007, with broken heart in tow, I returned home.

My first job back in Manchester was working for Our Dogs, one of the two pedigree dog newspapers in the UK, and Our Cats, not surprisingly the only cat newspaper. I got the job despite getting the breed of my own dog wrong in the interview and disliking all animals. I spent two years trying to say the word ‘bitch’ with a straight face and writing a column about my imaginary cat, Tobey (‘Through the cat flap with Rachel Winterbottom’). It was all very Sex and the City.

What’s great about this city?

I know that every city suffers its own particular mix of individuals, but Manchester doesn’t just humour her different types, she welcomes each one in as her own and sits everyone alongside each other quite snugly, despite the deceptively small space and variance of houseguest.

For a city that you can quite comfortably walk across in half an hour, it harbours a lot of different parts and you aren’t confined to any particular one. In Afflecks for instance you’re just as likely to find fresh-faced couples pushing prams that cost more than my car as you are teenagers blundering through their Goth phase.

What’s not so great?

All the usual complaints about major cities. Plus, the new buildings that keep emerging with no correlation with the existing architecture, like the expansion of Chetham’s. It’s been shoehorned into its surroundings like Cinderella’s ugly step sister shoving her oversized man foot into someone else’s glass slipper.

Do you have a favourite Manchester building?

The Rylands Building, aka Debenhams. Fun facts: it’s a grade II listed building that was built in 1932 for John Rylands, and was the biggest textiles warehouse in Manchester at that time. I worked there when I was a student and the staff would tell new starters that there was a ballroom on the top floor from back when it used to be a hotel. This is of course a lie. I once took the goods lift up to the top floor and found a corridor filled with broken windows that looked out on to the roof. Of the floor itself, all I saw was a good deal of dust and darkness, a wooden staircase in the centre of a vast empty room that led down and a distinct lack of ballroom. Still, this magnificent, brooding hulk of a building stands like Manchester’s tribute to Gotham City and I love it.

Do you have a favourite Mancunian?

Honorary Mancunian Russell T. Davies. He might be from Swansea but he lives in Manchester and he brought us Queer as Folk and revived Doctor Who so that we could all enjoy David Tennant in a suit and Converse trainers. He also owns a Dalek.

What’s your favourite pub/bar/club/restaurant/park/venue?

I recently took someone on a walking tour of my favourite Manchester spots. They had only been here once, at night, and couldn’t remember where. We started at Piccadilly Station, walked down Granby Row where my favourite wrongly coloured statue of Vimto sits, up to Sandbar and Deaf Institute, followed by a peek in the window of the Manchester Museum to see the giant crab (it has teeth in its claws!) and back down to the Cornerhouse for a drink and to people watch from a superior vantage point. The next stop was my favourite Starbucks on Mount Street (it just feels better in there) then on to Castlefield to go past the remains of the fort for a drink in Dukes 92. We then walked along Deansgate, passed the glory that is the John Rylands Library and into Forsyths music store for a play on the grand pianos. We then went across St Ann’s Square and up Market Street (which, apart from the cobbles, I actually detest) in order to go into Afflecks for a Twinkie and a play on Pac-Man. Then we had fruit scones in Sugar Junction and drank out of twee floral cups, whiled away a few hours in Fyg, where the staff and wines are just lovely, and finished with Porn Star Martinis in Thomas Restaurant and Bar. I now realise that most of my favourite places in Manchester involve some sort of food and drink.

What do you think is missing from Manchester?

Last year I would have said we needed a genre event along the lines of the London and San Diego Comic Cons. Now we have one and it’s succinctly called the MCM Expo Manchester Comic Com at Manchester Central (or the G-Mex, as it shall forever be known). Now all I think’s missing is some decent guests (San Diego gets previews of blockbuster films, we get the cast from Young Dracula).

If I was Mayor for a day I would …

… be a wildly inappropriate choice.

Who else would you like to nominate to answer this questionnaire?

Eddie Izzard, another honorary Mancunian after he did Lost Christmas, which was set in a version of Greater Manchester that put the folding city of Inception to shame.

2) Prioritize the usernames. In the Sal's instance, the company might be Sal's Ristorante but it's recognized as Sal's Pizza, so salspizza (which is also simpler to spell and kind) would be the preferred title.We tried to explain the fundamentals of SEO and assist them understand that this phrase is incredibly easy to rank on, even with out employing an SEO Dublin firm. We went further and recommended that the result they had been describing does not mean the SEO Dublin offered by that firm had been any good. But they didn't appear to follow. We ran the lookup once more with quotations about it and noticed that "Toyota Tundra Chattanooga" experienced seven results. That's right, Google had established that precisely 7 web pages from the entire Web had been about the specific subject Toyota Tundra Chattanooga. So instead than trying to explain the SEO math behind how this all labored, we stated to our consumer "give us one hour" and verify your phrase again.As it occurs, there is a lot more to launching an marketing marketing campaign on the web than you may realise. Given this fact, I understood I heading to be eager to be sure I retained a Edmonton Seo every time I did something significant in this area. Not employing a group like this is just basic conceitedness, and that was not something I was going to stand for in my business.Search engine optimization (SEO) can include many different things and frequently be overwhelming. There are numerous things you can do yourself or you can hire an Edmonton Seo company Vancouver to offer you with SEO services Vancouver, but regardless of how you go about it, using Title Tags and Description Tags can really make a large change.A advertising technique that is very well-liked these days is Search-Engine-Optimization (SEO). With so numerous websites vying with each other to entice surfers' attention, obtaining a high rating on the search results is a must.This is simply because unless of course and till you are not noticeable to the people, they will not get to know about your business. SEO is what delivers all this for you. It uses tools and methods to improve the visibility and traffic on a website. It indicates your website is obtaining indexed and cached by search engines time to time. We are continuously talking about search engines; some of people may be unfamiliar with this term. But, becoming an internet user you may defiantly be aware of Google.As it happens, there is much much more to launching an marketing marketing campaign on the web than you might realise. Given this fact, I understood I heading to be keen to be certain I retained a Edmonton Seo every time I did some thing substantial in this region. Not employing a team like this is just plain arrogance, and that was not some thing I was heading to stand for in my business.1) Study, the most important thing whilst designing your company. If you've been in company for awhile than you know if you've done the correct quantity of research for your company. The same principals use to your web site.If you insert a link to your site in your advertisements, then you can use a free monitoring script that will permit you to see where precisely these clicks came from. In flip, this will allow you know which classified ads websites deliver you the most traffic and which ads are the most effective. Of course, it is possible to keep track of site visitors with out a script and just look at referrer info in your server logs, but this is quite tiresome to do.Ask about the methods and resources that the business will apply to enhance your site. If they are not open about their technique and method to SEO it's better to stay absent from this services. There are no secrets and shortcuts to SEO and if the company is unwilling to disclose some of their "know-how's" the truth most most likely is that they are concerned in some unethical methods that will place your site at a long-term danger despite the brief-term gains they might deliver.Check what they have received for their have website. Did they really do nicely for their web site? If not, you can also disregard them. You cannot believe in anyone who is not able to carry out on its personal website. Ask the checklist of keywords they require targeted for their personal web site. Confirm them. In this case, I would even insist to employ an offshore Expert SEO company when they did nicely performing SEO for their own web site.Find a responsive business. In the SEO services world, larger does not always mean much better. Given the character of the function, one guy operating in his basement can do just as great a occupation as a big company the size of Facebook. What's more essential is that they react rapidly to you. Do they solution your e-mails immediately? Do they choose up the phone when you call? Are they accessible to chat? These indicators will show you whether or not this SEO services Dublin takes you critically as a client.

Koblenz - Germany's most beautiful 'corner'

Ahh - the joy of a good bed! We both slept well after the feast of last night and in good beds. Most European rooms with a 'double' bed are actually two single beds pushed together - this is not altogether a bad thing as you can roll without disturbing the other party. Just after 1 am a rowdy group of businessmen arrive to their rooms after dinner (drinks?), but as we have just turned off the light, they do not really disturb us!

The next thing I know it is 8 am and the alarm is blaring. The shower is nice and hot with great pressure and has a massage setting on the head, so my leg gets a work out - nice! Breakfast is served just off the lobby. The buffet is varied and generous and includes cereals, fruits, an enormous selection of breads, rolls and pastries, eggs scrambled or hard boiled, cold meats and cheeses, jams, juices, coffees and more teas than I have ever seen in a hotel (they could almost open their own supermarket!). We eat our fill and then check out and hit the road just before 10 am.

It is a big day with lots and lots and lots to see - and of course we have to be selective or we will see very little of it in Koblenz. We head into the old city and park in almost exactly the same spot that Michael parked when we visited here all those years ago. We are near the Marktplatz and while Michael is taking photos of exactly the same buildings I took photos of last time (very interesting roof lines here), I make a beeline for the Florinskirch (St Florins Church) that was not open last time we were here. It is a quiet, cool place - amazingly inviting from the warm day outside given that it is so light. Built in the 1100s, its side altars with their damaged frescoes that date back into the 1300s are amazing and the painted coloured windows are simple and pleasing in their design. The cloisters have not been so well kept, but still portray an area of peace and calm. Flagstones worn or lost have been replaced with pieces of gravestones!

We walk the back lanes, happily seeing what there is to see and taking photos, but not wanting to go in to any of the museums, but rather, taking in the open air museum that the streets portray - we would rather do a trip on the Rhine instead! And one of the streets is closed to traffic. Here we see the benefit of using cobblestones - they are easy to rip up with a backhoe and easy to re-lay once the works underground are complete. I watch as workers relay the cobbles and then throw shovels of fine gravel over them to set them in place. It was disappointing not to be able to go into the Liebfrauenkirche - the Church of Our Beloved Lady because it is one of the three that Koblenz is known for. And the photos from outside promise a special place. Michael sees a Borgward - model Isabella - and poses for a pic! So after two hours of wandering and wondering, we return to the car because we can only park here for two hours and then move it down to Deutsches Eck. Here, the parking fairy is with me and we find a spot four spaces from the plaza, on the waterfront and for the princely sum of €4 for the day! This is great because we will need more than just a few hours here.

First on the agenda is Deutsches Eck itself with the impressive statue of Emperor Wilhelm I - erected by a grateful nation after he unified the country after a series of wars. The spot was chosen by his grandson - the place where two of the major rivers of Germany meet - the confluence of the Rhine and Mosel rivers. It was as impressive as it first was for me in 2006. You can actually see where the waters of the two rivers meet as they are a slightly different colour to each other: the water of the Rhine is a lighter turquoise whereas the Mosel is a 'Mary River' brown! There is a major cleaning and restoration project underway and much of the riverside wall is behind scaffolding. Its a pity as it marrs the look - but we understand that they must do the maintenance some time. Michael climbs the spiral staircase into the memorial plinth while I keep a look out for the next target - a river cruise.

It is not long before the next ferry is due to depart at 13:15, so we purchase our tickets twenty five minutes prior to departure. The cruise vessel is large and comfortable, with seating below and above decks and we had chosen the latter. Well, why not on such a glorious day as it was. The sun shone gleaming and everything just sparkled, the water included. Luckily, the captain had just put up the sun umbrellas over the tables and chairs on the upper deck, so we did not have to subject our skin to the direct ravages of the sun. As we wait for our cruise to commence we order a round of drinks: a glass of dry reisling for Maria and that ubiquitous mineral water for Michael.

As we sip our drinks the helmsman rings his bell as an indication the cruise is to start. However, we're still docked and we notice the 'clock' on the information board has been advanced for the cruise to commence at 14:00! The ruse has worked as additional passengers board, and the cruise commences at 13:20.

So off we set with the boat half filled with various examples of human and canine bodies. We power on up the Rhine River to start, with the fortress on the hill high above us on our left and the old town on our right. We turn back to the confluence and hang a left to journey as far as the City bridge up the Mosel River and then head downstream again to join the now much larger Rhine for a journey further downstream - this time avoiding the very busy barge channels. While there is freight train after freight train heading up and down the lines on either side of the Rhine, the river itself is an important transport route and at times, we see up to three barges passing. They carry oil, gas, coal, rubbish and more of those shipping containers!

Back on shore we take a look at the Church of St Kastor right near the German corner. This is a Catholic basilica minor and much gloomier and less inviting than the Protestant St Florins we saw earlier. It might be of significance to the local communtity, but really doesn't stand out to us as one of the better ones we have seen. Then back into the afternoon heat we go. The amazing formal gardens of the Bishop's palace that I remember next to the church are overgrown now. Again, maintenance works are underway and overall, the place looks unkempt. A pity because the border gardens are still a picture!

So we are now headed back to the German corner and the tourist train that is due to leave shortly. There is just enough time for Michael to get ice creams - Amaretto for me and vanilla chocolate chip for him. So nice and cold. Mm mmm! The train does a route through the town that is further out than what we walked this morning. We see lots of other sites such as the Castle almost obscured by huge piles of bedding sand (and the commentary talks of the park in front of the castle being used for concerts - yeah right! Only if it is the Beach Boys at the moment!)

So, Koblez not really done all that well, but having given it as much time as we can, it is almost 5pm when we head off down the Rhine River by road. But first we detour onto the right bank to have a quick look at Koblenz from the Festung Ehrenbreitstein fort. Built in the 1800s on the site of a much much earlier Roman fortification, this site is undergoing perhaps the largest of the restoration projects in the City. But the views are stupendous and well worth any minor inconveniences.

And then it is down the River we travel, leaving Koblenz on the right bank and crossing at Filsen for Boppard on the left bank. And all the while, we pass castle after castle, schlöss after schlöss. Michael and the camera could not be forced apart at this point! See this map for an idea of not only the route we took from Koblenz to our accommodation tonight at Bacharach. You see what I mean about all the castles? And the towns as well that are below the castles are fascinating.

Tonight we are in the Hotel am Markt in Bacharach. We are right in the market square, opposite the odest buildings in the town that date back to 1368. And the one directly across from the oriole window I am sitting in dates back to 1579! Hard to imagine - huh?! As I sit here in our room typing the blog, I overlook a courtyard restaurant. They must have some sort of special deal for wine tasting and I wonder if the woman I see is going to try and drink all the glasses on the tray they have left her. She certainly responds very positively to most of them so far!

And so when it is time for us to have some dinner, we cross the street to the Weingut Fritz Bastion - the same one across the street and try to find a table. Ha Ha. Much much easier said than done. We eventualy sit out the back only to be told that they do not do table service there. But what the heck, we will sit here, waiting for a table to become free. Eventually, the young waitress hands us a menu with a shrug of her shoulders - it has been busy since they opened at 12 noon she tells us in impeccable English - gosh how nice it would be for the young people back home to take LOTE to the same standard. All the young people we talk with her apologise for their English as 'only my school English' - but most times it is so close to perfect that the might be a native English speaker. And Nina is no different. It is then that we realise that we are in a wine bar as opposed to a restaurant. The menu is more like a tapas menu, but they do have a few meals. So, we order:
Wildsülze mit Bratkartoffeln und Zwiebelsoβe (Wild boar in Aspic with onion sauce) Michael
Bockwurst it selbstgemachten kartoffel salat (Frankfurter with homemade potato salad) Maria
Spündekäs’ mit Pellkartoffeln (soft cream cheese mixed with spices and wine with potatoes) both of us :D
I enjoy a glass of 2008 Bastians Alde Fritz Bacharacher Reisling Trocken and later a Spatlaese in the same vintage - God, how I love the German Rhine white wines!! And that wine tasting plate is just that. For the sum of €14 you have a tray of about 15 different wines to try. Great value. But too much wine for me alone (hic!). However, I have enjoyed the reisling so much I get some to take home to Steph and Felix.

Despite being very busy, Nina keeps a good eye on us and is there each time that we need her - a real asset to the business - I hope they appreciate her attention to detail in her service. Michael leaves a card with her and an invitation to visit us if she ever gets to Oz. Make sure you keep it safe Nina girl - the invitation is genuine!

And after, we hurry up the street (as it is after 9:30 pm) to the Café Restaurant Rusticana where I had a very memorable apple strudel in 2006. They are about to close, but wait for us to wolf down a piece each. And Mum, Donna and Michael - remember Opa placing his horse bets on the mobile phone? Well. There he was, sitting at the table - on a LAPTOP!!!
Astrid is happy to serve us a piece of her wonderful Apfelstrüdel - and yes - it was just as delicious. They are moving forward and when I comment on Opa, they tell us that they have only had the laptop for 4 weeks and that it is a great way to keep his mind alert - gosh, if only there were more people who thought so positively. Anyway, it was wonderful to meet Astrid again and she made us promise not to wait for another 3 years to return - how we wish!

It has been a HUGE day - 947 photos in all - 2.46 Gigabytes worth!!! Just be thankful that I have only uploaded a few.

Fleet Manning Cost Controller

Job Description

CESM is a joint venture, 80% owned by China Energy Shipping Investment Co. Limited (“CESI”), a company incorporated in Hong Kong and 20% owned by Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd (“MOL”), a company incorporated in Japan. CESI is in turn owned 51% by China Shipping Development Co. Ltd, a listed subsidiary of China Shipping Group and 49% by Kantons Holdings, a listed subsidiary of the Sinopec Corporation.

The main business activity of CESM is the provision of ship management services to the owners of eight LNG tankers, each owned by individual entities who share the same ownership structure as CESM. Individual management agreements have been signed between CESM and each ship owning entity.

Organisational Context

The Fleet Manning Cost Controller is based in the administration department and reports to the Administration Manager, however there is also an indirect reporting line to the Fleet Manning Manager. The post holder works closely with manning personnel and is kept abreast of new developments associated with vessels’ crew, manning agents and crew training. There is also considerable interaction directly with the OPEX Management Accountant and external manning agents.

Purpose of the Position

The high value and detailed nature of manning costs call for a dedicated cost controller to monitor, budget and control charges from manning agents. The role alleviates the burden of detailed financial analysis from the Fleet Manning Manager who is ultimately accountable for the cost of putting crew on the vessels.

Core Tasks and Activities

  1. Gain a thorough understanding of the LNG vessels’ crewing requirements including a full list of officers and ratings, wage scales, crew rotation schedules, overtime schedules and costs associated with manning such as training, travel and subsistence. Review manning agreements and seafarers’ employment contracts and become familiar with their contents.
  2. Preparation of the annual manning budget. Coordinate with manning agents and ensure they deliver an annual crewing budget in time for review and inclusion in the annual OPEX budget. Consolidate manning budgets into a format that is compatible with the annual OPEX budget.
  3. Validate costs charged from manning agents against agreed wage scales, crew rotation and overtime schedules. Ensure all charges are consistent with expectations and provide ground work for Fleet Manning Manager’s approval of monthly crew costs. Clarify all inconsistencies with manning agents.
  4. Prepare monthly accounting journals entries to enter manning costs into the owners’ sub-ledgers in the ShipNet accounting module. Enter purchase orders in ShipNet to accrue manning costs that have not yet been invoiced including travel and training costs.
  5. Carry out monthly analysis of actual costs versus budget and work with the manning agents to explain material variance from budget. Provide an in-depth quarterly
    commentary on actual versus budget results to include in the OPEX management accounting pack to budget holders and shareholders.
  6. Provide ad hoc financial analysis to assist management with business decisions such as identification of cost savings and impact of exchange rates on manning costs.
  7. Calculate cash flow predictions and arrange funding payments to manning agents.
  8. Track “cash to master” payments and associated recharge from the vessels’ on board float.
  9. Work with manning personnel and HSEQ department to track and monitor costs and claims associated with protection and indemnity (P&I) personal injury/illness claims and other manning related claims.
  10. Attend meetings and briefings with manning department, manning agents, officers and other ship management activities that could potentially impact manning costs such as crew changes, crew training and crew travel.
  11. Filing, photocopying and scanning of manning invoices, statements and correspondence.
  12. Other duties as directed.

Skills and qualifications required

  • A background and experience in accountancy or financial analysis of multi-currency costs.
  • Highly analytical with capacity to pay great attention to detail.
  • Confident communicator (written and spoken) in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.
  • Ability to engage with external stakeholders and challenge irregularities in a diplomatic manner.
  • Intermediate/advance excel skills. Working knowledge of other MS applications including Word, Outlook, Project and Access. Previous experience working with financial reporting applications and report writing tools such as ShipNet and Crystal reports.
To apply for the positions, please send your detailed resume with availability to our recruitment team by e-mail.

About Me

Who Am I? (click here)

• Sees The Stars Naked, Desertwalker of The Bear Clan

• Ironweed, king of The Crenshaw Bums

• Chollo Jook, honorary sheriff of the Valley Village Panhandler's Association

• Jolie Blond, poet laureat of the Hollywood Luddites

• Mudhead,scourge of St. Mary's U. Literate Anarchists Association, Delta Mu Delta division

    I was born at 9 a.m. on a dark and stormy morning in Grand Junction, Colorado, the first child of a geological engineer and his wife, both Texans. Dr. Gould was the general practitioner who delivered me at St. Mary's Hospital and who tended to my asthma attacks, which often landed me in hospital oxygen tents.

    I was always struck by how much Dr. Gould looked like the pictures of Soviet Premier Krueschev I had seen on TV. I used to tell my friends that the guy on TV beating his shoe on the table was my doctor.

    A few years later, we moved to Fry Canyon, Utah, not far from Utah's 'Monument Valley'. Fry Canyon was not a real town. It was ten or twelve trailers parked in a dustbowl circle around the 'town' water well. Shopping was a two-hour drive over dirt roads through an Indian reservation. One of my neighbors was Jack Elam, who later went on to become a fairly well-known movie actor. As a neighbor, he was scary as hell and that experience caused me to fear and mistrust cross-eyed people ever since.

    My father worked as a uranium miner while I, still a preschooler, was befriended by an ancient Indian medicine man who told me stories from before time and showed me his magic stuff. The old gourd-rattler made me an honorary Indian (which didn't seem to please my mother much) but it wasn't until thirty years later that Great Elk of the Ohio Shawnee gave me my Indian name at a Los Angeles smudging ceremony for one of the Tuskogee airmen. I am Sees The Stars Naked.

    We moved back to the flatlands of Fruita, Colorado where I learned the joys of trampolines and that the bully next door, Rusty, could be made to behave himself by a well-placed punch in the nose. I joined the Cub Scouts.

    A few years later, we moved to a zinc mining town high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The mining town was quite a bit different from the deserts of Utah or the flatlands of grand Junction.
    The Colorado mining town, Gilman, was under several feet of snow most of the year and several of its streets abruptly ended in two-thousand foot drop-offs. Wildcats, bobcats and an occasional cougar were often seen crossing our main thoroughfare. I could look out of my bedroom window on to the mountaintops below and often see herds of deer and elk grazing miles away. The next mountain over later became Vail, Colorado, the famous ski resort. I remember it when it was nothing more than one old miner's shack.

    My father was an amateur archeologist. He took me on many explorations of mining ghost towns and Indian burial grounds. We also went hunting and fishing. I got a six-pointer once and caught lots of fish except when we went fly fishing. I never quite got the hang of fly fishing.

    Two major events happened to me in fourth grade. First, I won the Peoria Independence Day 100 yard dash against all the other boy scouts in the area, which told me I had finally outgrown or overcome my asthma.

    Secondly, my fourth grade teacher, Mr. Durfee, suspected I had special academic gifts, brought some testers down from Denver, tested me, and skipped me from fourth grade to fifth grade and giving me sixth and seventh grade level projects occasionally. The Minturn School district had no programs for gifted children, so mostly I just played out in the snow during fifth grade while the other kids tried to catch up with me.

    The next year we moved to the Appalachian Mountains in Pennsylvania where I met Quakers for the first time and saw an amazingly close meteor fly over my neighborhood. I also met actual hillbillies and learned that the English language has many dialects.

    A few years later, we moved to a lignite strip-mining operation in East Texas. We were chased by a few tornadoes in Ohio during the car trip south. The tornadoes came close enough so that we had to take shelter under a highway overpass. That was the first time I ever saw flying farm animals. The awesome power of those tornadoes seemed like God's own breath to me; the ruach or neshamah.

    In high school in Marshall, Texas, I was a mile runner in track, editor of the school newspaper and founder of the school chess club. I worked after school in addition to my scholastic activities, first as a newspaper boy and then as a Dairy Queen cook. I pretty much lived a Norman Rockwell childhood.

    I signed up for the army a few months before I graduated high school and was sent to basic training at Ft. Polk, Louisiana a month after I graduated. I was offered Officer Candidate School based on my entrance exam scores, but accepted the Defense Information Journalism School at Ft. Benjamin Harrison instead.

    The Department of defense journalism school was an inter-service academy, so I barracked with Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps classmates. I graduated at the top of my class and was given the choice of going to the war college in New jersey or getting an assignment overseas. I hadn't lost anything in New Jersey, so I chose the overseas adventure and was assigned to Korea.

    During my first year in Korea, I was promoted in rank twice and rose from field reporter to editor-In-Chief of the brigade-level military newspaper. My reorganization of 'The Gauntlet' won me Eighth Army's 'Green Eyeshade award' for excellence in journalism and I was chosen to work with Pacific Stars N stripes in Tokyo, Japan. At that point I was an international foreign war correspondent for the army with all of Pacific Asia for my 'beat'.

    My second year overseas was not so productive. i caught some sort of jungle rot, was treated with massive dosages of systemic steroids and was eventually med-evacked to Ft. Sam Houston, Texas for disability retirement.

    During my nine month hospital stay at Brooke army Medical Center, I brought my Korean wife in country and bought my first rental property, a duplex just outside the army post. We had been living in the condemned, fire trap barracks the army provides for its disabled soldiers during the year-long outprocessing gauntlet, but I decided to prove to my Korean wife that America did indeed have indoor plumbing.

    The Department of Defense, after years of observation and thousands of dollars worth of medical testing, evaluated my medical condition as 30 percent disabling. The VA, after a five minute cursory paramedic evaluation, rated me at 10 percent.

    I thought the VA would be satisfied with that insult, but when I got a job with the U.S. Post Office as a mailhandler, the VA sent the postmaster a letter stating that I was too disabled to work in any capacity for any government job and cost me that position. That was a great disappointment to me. I'm sure I would've been Postmaster General by now . . . but considering current events, maybe that VA backstabbing was a good thing.

    Both of my children were born at B.A.M.C at Ft. Sam Houston and I bought several more rental properties before the seventies were over.

    In the eighties I attended St. Mary's University in San Antonio under the Disabled Veterans' Vocational Rehabilitation Program, Chapter 31, becoming the oldest editor-in-chief of the university newspaper in 1985. In the army, I had been one of the youngest editors. The irony didn't escape me.

    I was on the school''s dean's list and was inducted into Delta Zeta delta, the business honors student fraternity. I dropped out of the university and became a civil service aircraft mechanic for Kelly Air Force Base. A year later, I moved to Los Angeles to work as a magazine graphic artist for twice the aircraft mechanic pay. A year after that I was a magazine editor in Canoga Park for another substantial salary increase.

    I taught myself computer pre-press color separation and tried that career path for several years, but discovered that I didn't like being cooped up in a cubicle all day. I stumbled into driving entertainers to their business appointments and found that I had a certain affinity for the work. I drove various entertainers for more than five years and have written 476 pages of a book about the experience.

    Unfortunately, the work dwindled and I became homeless for eighteen months, living in my car, under a bridge and in a Russian dog house among other places. From that experience, I have developed an "Urban Nomad" tour package of the Los Angeles homelessness experience that I hope to market to travel agencies.

    For the last thirteen months, I have been living in the Motel Marquis, a quaint little ramshackle place with colorful characters to observe.

    Three weaknesses of mine are (1) procrastination (2) obstinance and (3) lack of flossing.

    I have many strengths. Spelling is one. My verbal S.A.T. scores were very high. My most recent English placement test at El Camino community College were in the top ten percentile in the country, but most importantly, I move fast for a fat man when I want to and am a quick learner. I can and have performed dental surgery on myself without anesthetic, can go days without food or sleep, chew rocks and wrestle lions.

The Dutch team

Since 2008 the Dutch have been involved in the Masanga Hospital Rehabilitation project with the arrival of the first tropical doctors, Frank van Raaij and Wendelien Planten. The FranCa Masanga foundation was founded in 2009 by Frank’s family and friends to support the work in Masanga. It was named after Frank and  his partner Carolien. Also after their return the foundation remained active raising funds and supporting staff in further education.

With the formation of the new international board of the Masanga Rehabilitation Project a representative from the Dutch foundation was asked to join. This also prompted the Dutch foundation to change the name to Masanga Netherlands in 2013 and start afresh with a new board including a former Masanga doctor (Frank van Raaij), a trainer from the Capacare surgical training program (Marco Versluis) and a nurse who spent many months working in Masanga (Janita van Duinen).

From 2008 there has been constant presence of Dutch tropical doctors fulfilling the task of ground doctors at Masanga Hospital, usually for a year or longer.

June 2008 – June 2010: Frank and Carolien

Frank van Raaij and his partner Carolien Reumer had the specific mission to start the maternity unit in Masanga Hospital. There were far many more problems to tackle before they could get started with that. Together with Wendelien and Bart they made a lot of improvement in logistics, medication supply and training of OT and anaesthesia personel. During her stay till May 2009 Carolien was in charge of nursing and functioned as anesthetist nurse in OT.

In the second year of Frank’s stay the maternity unit became functional and a small blood bank was started as well as a limited supply of running water for the OT-complex and laundry house.

Frank and Carolien

Frank is still active in the project as chairman of Masanga Netherlands, member of the international board and trainer in the Surgical Training Program.

After her return Carolien qualified as a midwife after a two-year training in Belgium. She now practices in the hospital in Emmen, The Netherlands.

July 2008 – July 2009: Wendelien and Bart

Wendelien was mainly responsible for the paediatric ward: making protocols and training the nursing staff were her main activities beside the day-to-day care of the patients. During her stay she renovated the paediatric ward thanks to support from friends and family from The Netherlands.

The second half year of her stay she was joined by her husband Bart who just finished his General Practitioner specialization. He spent a lot of time teaching Community Health Officer students during their practicals in Masanga. Treating outpatients and supervising the newly established eye clinic were his other main activities.

Schipper family

Wendelien is now in training to be a General Practitioner, Bart has his own practice in Aalten, The Netherlands. Since their return they were blessed with two daughters, Marieke and Judith.

April 2010 – 2012: Anne Marie and Martijn

Anne Marie was Medical Officer in Charge for 1.5 years and spent 6 months as the only doctor in the hospital. She continued the establishment of the maternity unit and coordinated the Nurse-aide training 2010-2011. Also at the start of the Surgical Training Program she acted as teacher for the first students. She also did hundreds of medical check-ups for personel of the local mining companies to generate income for the hospital. She is now in training to become a pediatrician.

Martijn main activity was to streamline and professionalize the Masanga Hospital Sustainability Enterprises into a profitable part of the project. He established and maintained many valuable contacts with companies like Motorcare and mining companies. He was also active in the hospital board as financial manager for some time. Back in Holland he is a project engineer at Huck Torimex BV

Annemarie and Martijn with Niek

Anne Marie is now in training to become a pediatrician and Martijn is a project engineer at Huck Torimex in the Netherlands. They have a son named Niek.

January 2011 – July 2013: Alex and Annemarie

By the time he left in the summer of 2013 the STP had grown to a well-known training program for doctors and non-physician clinicians with more than 20 students in 8 hospitals throughout the country.

Van Duinen family

Van Duinen family

During his time in Masanga the hospital grew in every way. The number of patients, operations and births increased. Opening the maternity ward, emergency ward and second operating theatre contributed to this increase in activity. Besides the improvement in the hospital they also witnessed the renovation of houses on the compound, renovation of the water supply system and other facilities.

After their return the whole family moved to Norway where Dr. Alex is working  in the surgery department of St. Olav’s Hospital in Norway. He will stay involved in the project as board member of CapaCare.

Claudia and Matthijs

Claudia and Matthijs

November 2013 – present: Bart and Pauline

Bart finished his medical studies in 2008 with an internship in Zambia and then started his training as tropical doctor. His great interest in tropical medicine and international health is based on various reasons. Besides the great adventure and cross-cultural experience a sense of health inequality in our world is a strong motivation. People in poor countries also deserve good healthcare. The Nobel prize winner Albert Schweitzer put it this way, “the purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others”. This Christian value has been part of our decision to leave our country.

Pauline, a biologist, fully supports the move to Sierra Leone. Recently she finished years of scientific research in ecotoxicology with her PhD in Amsterdam. What her future role will be is not completely set, but she is looking forward to our new life in Masanga.

Bart and Pauline

The Dutch network

A number of Dutch organizations and institutions contribute to the Masanga Hospital project:

Masanga Netherlands raises funds for running Masanga Hospital and coordinates scholarships for further education of hospital staff.

The Royal Tropical Institute in Amsterdam provides training for doctors for working in low-resource settings. All our resident doctors attended the Dutch Tropical Medicine and International Health course.

Doctors of the World Netherlands organizes Operation Smile in Sierra Leone. Masanga Hospital is one of the hospitals where a team of plastic surgeons comes to operate cleft lips and palates and post-burn contractures.
