Educate

Try to educate both the client and management. Much conflict is the result of a basic misunderstanding between one or more parties. Very often assumptions are made about the level of understanding that has been reached, both on the part of the developer/designer about the management team and on the part of the web company about the client. Left unchecked this can result in the project taking a turn for the worse. For example it is quite common in the industry for people to use words/terms they have heard being used but have never really fully understood what they mean, or for a client to misunderstand an explanation they have been given and were to embarrassed to ask for clarification in case they would appear silly. Do take time to ensure that everyone really is on the same page. It is worth the effort at an early stage and will definitely nip problems in the bud.

Empower clients. Make sure they are freed up from thinking about web stuff and focus on what they do know, there own business. Educate them as to their role in the process. Once they realise that you do not expect them to come to you with a web solution in mind they will be able to relax and provide you only with the information you expect from them.

Often clients don’t know how to take their business forward, step in and educate then as to the possibilities that are available. Keep them focused on the business aspect of the process and later you can spend sometime translating all the information and requirements you have collected into a suitable web solution.

Communicate

Make sure that your communication is good, polite and frequent. Make sure there is no ambiguity, whether it is in an email or during a meeting. Take time to provide clients and management with a plan. Make clear your assumptions. From the start make sure everyone understands what will be included and what will not.

Never say never, but instead point out that some things will have to wait for a future stage of the project. Remind the client that they cannot have a low budget ,feature rich solution delivered in a short period of time. Often it is better to provide a phased development process, introducing new features after the initial website has been launched. Make sure you communicate to the client that this approach is in their interest and in so doing hopefully you will build a relationship based on trust. It is also vital (and this cannot be stressed enough) that the client can provide you with good quality content at an early stage in the project. This is undoubtedly the biggest contributing factor to a successful web project.

Iterate

Create a process of review that allows input at the correct time during the development process. If you are unable for whatever reason to get feedback from the right people at the right time then another approach may be to employ a certain amount of flexibility in the design and/or build of the web solution. However this flexibility must be covered in the cost of the project, so build it in to your budget. If you have educated all the stakeholders properly and if the communication lines are keep open and unambiguous then there may be less need to build in this flexibility, and with constant iteration and review the process should run smoothly.

Content collection is a thankless task usually bestowed on someone who already has a job to do and who has very little incentive to go the extra mile for you. They neither get paid any more nor is there any extra time in the day for them to collect the content for you and still carry out their daily duties within the organisation or business. This is especially the case when the decision maker does not have a good handle on the nature of the project and the heavy workload involved in putting together the quality, spell-checked, proof-read and while organised content needed to make the project a success.

It is vital that the client and all parties involved really understand the importance of this content for the success of the web project. Make life easy for them, provide them with a clear and detailed explanation of the content you will require for the project along with a staggered time-line that ensures that all the critical content gets to those who need it early on in the process and the less critical stuff like news stories, FAQs etc are left till later.

From management’s perspective

As with most aspects of the process they will usually be in the dark about this, and will just expect everything to be dealt with in a professional manner so that they can continue to nurture their wonderful relationships with their clients. Oblivious to the reasons behind their PMs’, designers’ and developers’ frustrations they can often insist that projects continue even though the foundation is not in place. Unfortunately, while it may keep clients happy in the short term it has devastating consequences for the quality of the web project and ultimately its success. As the developer/designer or PM it is up to you to communicate this to your manager or sale executive, ensuring they understand fully the importance of getting the content and its role in the overall project.

From the project manager’s perspective

Most project managers (PM) when asked will tell you that their single biggest headache is in the acquiring of content. In my experience I have even known them to offer to generate/create the content out of shear frustration! A good PM will take it upon themselves organise and filter all incoming content, so as to remove this headache for the designers/developers. Of course PM are not often equipped to deal with content from the perspective of the designer or developer but in this case just simple organisation into folders, consistent and meaningful naming conventions and versioning are always a great help. Pm’s will also be responsible for contracting out any copywriting or photography that is needed and should ensure they have factored in extra time in the content collection process to allow for dealing with third parties.

From the designer’s perspective

Good design is all about communication and not decoration. In order to provide the client with the best possible website the user centric designer will usually insist that they need the content before they can come up with the fancy comp/visuals to show the client. After all, how can they design the layout of a page without knowing exactly what has to go on that page. There will always be some flexibility and if the Information Architect has done a good job it may be possible for the designer to do their job knowing the nature of likely content, just so long as this information is detailed and not vague. Regardless there is no substitute for having the content up front.

From the developer’s perspective

Like the designer there is just no substitute for having the content upfront. Few things are more frustration than figuring out a process or solution based on a provisional content, only to realise when the real content arrives that the solution or process is no longer optimal. Most developers take great pleasure in providing excellent solutions and exceeding clients expectations with that extra piece of functionality or even the very straightforward and simplistic but effective process. It is extremely demoralising to have to start over because the content you thought you were getting doesn’t materialise or is different in its make-up. To a certain extent agile development cycles, iterative programming and continuous review can in this day and age help to alleviate the frustrations somewhat. But for most small web projects,  there is no substitute for just having the content up front.

So how to we get content up-front

I wish I had the answer. I think there are few approaches that may work.

Educate the client : If they truely understand the importantce of the content perhaps they will themselves take a more pro active approch rather than just delegating the role to someone else. Also if they are aware of the workload involved they may be prepared to free up some time for their content providers rather than expecting them to fit it into their already busy schedule

Motivate the client : Financially, provide them with a two-tier pricing matrix . One price with say a 10% discount, if content is provided by a certain date, and is of suitable quality. The second price kicks in if the content is not forthcoming. If you use this approach it is important to point out to the client that it is in their best interests to provide you with the content for the sake of getting the best quality solution and in so doing they get an added caveat of a discount.

Help the client: Provide them with all the tools they need to make the process easy. Content collection documents, check-lists, time-lines . Recommendations for copywriters or photographers. Even examples of the format of the content you need to make their web project work best for them. If you leave them alone thy will quickly loose focus and become demotivated. Keep in contact, dedicate a few hours a week to sit with them and talk them through what you need.

If you own a GPS

You will need

• A camera obviously, any digital will do. I’m currently using a Canon EOS 400D
• Said GPS unit, again any unit will do. I have done this with both the Garmin Etrex and the Garmin 60CSx
• Access to a computer and the Internet, obviously, more specifically to certain on-line tools and open-source software.

The method

1. Go for a hike somewhere in the wilderness with your GPS activated and recording a track-log
2. Take some beautiful photos.
3. Upload said photos to your flickr account.
4. Download you track-log from your GPS unit in .gpx format. You will need some kind of cable to access the data on your unit. If you don’t have one you can buy them on-line, so go ask Google. If your unit doesn’t store track-logs in this format you can use GPSBabel which is open source freeware or the on-line version at GPS Visualiser, to convert any GPS data you may have into the required format.
5. Upload this .gpx file to the GPSTagr service and follow the 3 easy steps to geotag your photos. Really the instructions are very simple, even my parents could follow them and they are serious technophobes.
6. That’s it you are done. Click on the view on flickr map link on the final page of the GPSTagr service and admire your photos positioned on the map, using data from your GPS unit.
7. You can also view your track-log in Google earth and Google maps. GPS Visualizers Google earth converter tool can be used. This form will import your GPS data file, or plain-text data (tab-delimited or CSV), and create a KML file that you can view in the Google Earth application. I use GPS Trackmaker which will open your GPX data file directly in both Google maps and Google earth.

The walk itself

• The track-log as seen on Google maps
• The track-log as viewed on Google earth (via Google earth forums, click the link to view on Google earth if you have it installed)

The photos taken on the walk

• All photos taken on the walk displayed on my flickr map
• Photos taken on a part of the walk ( Carn) displayed on flickr places
• Photos taken on a different walk, just so you get the idea!
• Photos taken on a Causeway Coastal Walk
• Photos taken on a hike in the mournes
• Photos taken on a hike around Rathlin Island May 2008

If you do not own a GPS

You will need

• A camera obviously, any digital will do.
• Access to a computer and the Internet, obviously, more specifically to certain on-line tools and open-source software.

The method

1. Go for a hike somewhere not in the wilderness and take a note of the address or postcode where you are.
2. Take some beautiful photos
3. Upload said photos to your flickr account
4. Using one of these services, Input from GPS coordinates or Input from postcode or address obtain some geo codes to add as machine tags to your flick photo.
5. Enter the resulting latitude and longitude data in the following format [geo:lat=47.620628, geo:long=-122.349329]
6. Here is an example of one of my photos with geo machine tags
   

That’s it. Have fun. I hope this was useful. If you need any more pointers or have any questions feel free to leave a comment.

UPDATE

I have noticed on the bottom of my flickr photo page where it says, subscribe to waveneyavenue’s photos, there are options for geofeed and KML (google earth file) . I assume this will happen to you too if you geotag your photos using either of these methods.

Another walk I have geotagged

The client

I am talking about the business owner, or their representative. In short the person or persons who have commissioned the website to be built.

What characterises the client

• High expectations, but with no understanding of the process required to attain these expectations
• The desire for a quality, cheap solution in a short period of time - (can’t have all three!)
• Wants (a) even though they actually need (b & c) - often refers to a website they have seen believing it is the answer to all their problems, unaware that much better solutions often exist.
• No interest in problems until after they happen - not quick to take on-board warnings and often see these as an indication of pessimism or a ploy to squeeze them for more money.

The web company

Here I refer to any company who’s business it is to provide web solutions to the client. More specifically I suppose I mean those responsible for the day to day running of the web company and not the actual creative team or developers. Some people refer to them as management

What characterises the web company

• Wants as little hassle as possible - isn’t there some sort of “magic bullet” web solution that cuts out all the hassle?
• The desire to be able to generate cashflow - invoices must be paid regularly to take care of the running of the business
• The desire for a “product” that they can resell, “off the shelf” - this makes good business sense, but is not always in the clients best interests.
• The desire to ultimately exceed the clients expectations and build relationships - repeat business and renewable revenue streams have been the goals of most businesses since the turn of the century and probably before.

The ethical web professional

I do not mean to imply that some web professionals are not ethical, that is not for me to say. All I want to illustrate is that some people in the industry care passionately about producing the best possible solution and others just go through the motions in order to get paid.

What characterises the ethical web professional

• An understanding that each project is unique and must be treated as such. - There is no such thing as a one solution fits all approach. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
• Is rarely concerned with the day to day issues such as building client relationships or cash flow and invoicing strategies (unless of course you are a freelancer or run your own business in which case this is paramount).
• Wants to make sure all clients decisions are made based on full information. - If we are sure you have understood all the information presented then any decision you make is of course the right one, until then we will continue to try and communicate this information and make our recommendations.
• Wants to make sure they themselves are in possession of all information and content in order to provide the best possible solution. We cannot provide you with the solution you deserve unless we are in possession of all the information we need. It may seem annoying and unnecessary to you, but trust me it is in your interests to deliver it to us.
• Wants the best solution for all their clients first and foremost, obviously the success or failure of our clients website will reflect on us.
• Is aware of the difficulty in managing these three diverse and often conflicting stakeholders

Conclusion

Well I suppose the point of this post is just to identify that there are often 3 and at least 2 different takes on the whole web development/web design process. There is no better way to resolve these issues than to educate and communicate effectively. I hope this is a good place to start.

First of all, a few parameters. I have used the term web developer/web designer to cover anyone who is starting out in the web arena. You may have aspirations to progress into a programming role, a design role or indeed a mixture of both or even some of the more specific roles like information architect, user centric designer, experience designer. Regardless of which path you take you will all need a firm grounding in HTML and CSS, and regardless of which path you take these skills will be invaluable on your journey.

Attention to detail

By far the most important of these , particularly in relation to writing HTML and CSS for the novice developer/designer, is attention to detail. This is particularly important for the brave of heart amongst you who will embark on this journey armed only with a text editor, and I would highly recommend this approach. It is all very well to be able to drive your fancy new WYSIWYG, but what are you going to do when it breaks down and you have to go tinkering under the hood. Take it from me, learn how to hand code. It will be worth the endless hours of heartache and pain.

• Check every line of code
• Make sure opening and closing brackets are there on all HTML tags
• Make sure all opening and closing HTML tags are there (remember some tags are self closing <img src="" />)
• Make sure all your equal symbols are there
• Make sure all your quotation marks are there
• Make sure you have spaces where there should be spaces and none where there should be none.
• Spell check and proof read your all your content
• Check all your links

Now might a good time to go and find yourself a checklist of all the things to check as you go. I could provide links but as you will see from the next points it is upto you to learn how to learn. So start now.

Ability to teach yourself

Again I cannot emphasis the importance of this enough. In order to progress in this field, probably just like most others, you must be prepared to learn new skills and enhance and improve your current ones. You must be able to motivate yourself and spend as much time as you can, getting to grips with and keeping up with the ever changing industry standards, benchmarks and techniques. Don’t expect to progress if you cannot. There are more than enough sources of information, insight and tutorials online for this purpose. Learn how to use google, read blogs, subscribe to RSS feeds, listen to podcasts and watch tutorial videos. Welcome to the Worldwide University of the Internet. This is self learning or no learning time.

Ability to develop good problem solving and bug solving techniques

You will, and you can be sure of this, very early on in the process of learning HTML and CSS come up against problems. It is vital both for your sanity and your ability to meet a deadline, that you develop skills to be able to deal with these problems. Arm yourself with as many tools as you can, Chris Pederick’s Web developer toolbar is a good place to start, and learn how to use them. You will find them invaluable. Remember the importance of validating your code, I refer back to attention to detail, which cannot be overstated enough. ( I have lost hours as the result of missing “=” signs or quotation marks).

Establish a process you can go through, with any HTML , CSS problem to get to the bottom of it. the first step in fixing a problem is finding the cause. I personally use some or all of the following when working with layouts problems for example.

1. Validate your HTML and CSS to make sure you have not done something silly like remove a starting tag and forgotten to remove the ending tag
2. Apply a background colour to all block elements on the page, making sure all colours are different. This gives you a great insight into how all the elements on the page sit in relation to one another.
3. Some people swear by using borders for the same reason, to display the layout of each element, although I always found the extra pixels could throw pixel based layouts into disarray. (You mean you haven’t studies the Box model yet, why not!
4. You can achieve a similar effect using the web developer toolbar, in particular the outline drop down menu

The important thing is to develop these techniques early on and be able to pull them from your armoury if and when they are required.

If you can master these 3 skills you are well on your way to becoming a better web developer/web designer.

In particular as we are concerned today with environmental issues, so I will specifically draw your attention to Global Energy Bank whose aim is To solve 3/4 of all world problems. Creating green energy banks around the world, providing fresh water and clean green energy to all by 2050, for FREE. Currently in discussions with our first government to provide 98% of all energy needs by 2012. An ambitous goal to be sure but I will be very interested to see how they get on.

White Orchid An Island project for girls rescued from the sex trade, currently concentrating in Asia. Building schools on Islands for rehabilitation and education. Eco-Friendly and also used as a reserve, in part for rescued animals, with breeding programmes. Reefs will be cultivated to create more breeding environments for marine life and flora & fauna will be cultivated.

Blood Rose An extraction/rescue team for girls rescued from the sex trade. Using ex-military personnel to; liaise, observe, rescue young captive girls and prevent acts of genocide.

Real Global Solutions Working with other organisations that are proactive. RGS will give solutions to any global problem, from ending world hunger to environmental concerns and solutions. More than a ‘Think Tank’ offering solutions and actively affecting this change to global problems.

1. Freedom of speech. Blogs allow ordinary citizens to exercise the power of the freedom of speech in ways that have never been possible before. Sure, we were always able to get on a soap box and spout off, but until now, there was no way to really be heard. And sure, even now it’s hard to be heard with so many blogs out there, but there’s no question that it’s much easier to be heard by a global audience now than it once was. The freedom of speech is a powerful tool, and one that is taken for granted by many people in the industrialized world. Blogs make that tool even more powerful.
2. Power of the pen. Along that vein, the pen has always been a powerful weapon (and is famously, of course, mightier than the sword). When people are silent, things stay the same. But when they wield the power of the pen, things can change. Blogs give the power of the pen to more people, and make it mightier than ever.
3. Reaching the public. There was a time when you could organize a small group of people, and come up with an agenda that could change the world … and then have it go nowhere. Why? Because there was no good way to reach a large portion of the public. People just couldn’t hear you. Newspapers and televisions would ignore you, because your agenda didn’t fit theirs. And so your ideas went nowhere. Today, all of that is still very possible. But it’s also possible to reach a much wider audience than ever before, and thus powerful ideas can actually reach a general audience.
4. Raising awareness. The main problem with trying to effect any change with any issue is that people are ignorant of the issue. With enough awareness of an issue, and the reasons that the issue is important, things will start to change. And if one blogger talks about an important issue, and other bloggers hear him, their awareness will be improved, and then if they blog about it … you can see how blogs can change the way that awareness is changed, and therefore the way the world is changed.
5. A global discussion. In no period of human history was it possible to have a discussion that reached as many people in as many parts of the world as it is today, with blogs. In even the recent past (just 10 years ago), if you had a discussion about something, even a community-wide discussion, the reach of that discussion was limited — unless you had the power to reach the global media, which is a power given to a limited few. Today, the things I write about on my blog reach dozens of countries in every continent in the world. It’s “globalization” in a positive sense of the word.
6. The power of many. One person fighting for change is like a butterfly trying to fight a windstorm. But if you get two people together, or 10, or a hundred, and soon you have a group strong enough to stand up to that windstorm. And if you can get thousands or hundreds of thousands of people together, talking about one issue, fighting for change, pretty soon they ARE the windstrom. And the power of the group becomes multiplied, and change is inevitable.
7. The speed of change. In the olden days (again, 10 years ago), an idea or a movement, if it were powerful enough, could spread like wildfire. The movement for change could spread from town to town, city to city, country to country, at a rapid speed. Today, the potential speed of an idea makes wildfire look like molasses on a cold day. Change is no longer measured in years, months, weeks or even days — it’s measured in minutes and seconds.
8. Interaction. While in the olden days (see above), the mass media could reach a wide audience quickly, it was one-way communication. Print publications or broadcast media reached the many, but the many couldn’t really talk back or interact with the news in any way. Sure, there were letters to the editor and similar features, but that was slow and extremely limited, and in effect made it a two-way street (even if one of the lanes on that street was really tiny). Today, it’s not just a two-way street — it’s a million-way street, as every person can interact with every other person directly. Bloggers can comment on other blogs, or post about things written on other blogs, or link to posts, or email each other, or IM each other, or work together on a group project. The limits of interaction between the blogging community, and the world in general, are the limits of imagination only.
9. Instant news and opinions. While once upon a time, the news came out the next day (and later, the news began to come out that same evening), these days the news cannot keep up with the blogs. An event happens, or is speculated to be happening soon, and it’s blogged about instantly. The news cannot compete with that kind of speed. And while commentary would usually follow the news by a slight lag, today commentary is just as instant as the information it is commenting on. It’s in the same blog post, in fact. With that kind of instant news, and instant opinion-giving, change is not only inevitable, it is coming at you faster than you can press the “publish” button.
10. Coverups are uncovered. It used to be relatively easy to cover up a scandal or negative information. The government, or a large corporation, just had to ensure that the information didn’t reach the media — not that hard a task, as the media was made up of only a handful of people, who were already too busy trying to cover the rest of the world’s happenings. Today, bloggers have replaced the media (to some extent), and they are many. And while they are busy, they are never too busy for a good scoop. It’s much harder to cover something up these days (though not impossible), as it just takes an errant word or email or Twitter from an employee or a family member, and the blogging word has it. A politician cheating on his wife? While the media’s cameras might not have been at his motel in the olden days, the motel’s janitor could certainly be a blogger these days (or more likely, the motel’s tech guy), and he might just have a camera on his cell phone for taking juicy pictures. Coverups aren’t so easy anymore.
11. Easier to research an issue. With old media, we were told something, and unless we had inside information or detailed knowledge, it was hard to dispute the information given to us. That’s changed. Now, every fact can be verified or researched, every topic is easily accessible, and everyone can check the facts themselves. That empowers the average citizen, instead of making him a passive consumer of information. And empowerment is the first step towards change.
12. Viral ideas. This is an overused term, of course, but the term “viral idea” is in itself an example of a viral idea. It was used a few times, and the power of the idea caused it to spread rapidly among bloggers. The ability of an idea to spread throughout the blogging world depends upon its power, its usefulness. And so, one idea can change the world, if it’s the right idea and if it catches on.
13. Created a new world. Bloggers haven’t just begun to change the world — they’ve created an entirely new world. It’s often (annoyingly) called the “blogosphere”, but we’re just going to call it the blogging world, or community of bloggers. It’s a virtual world, of course, and the bloggers don’t actually physically interact (except during conferences and meet-ups), but that doesn’t make it any less of a real world than other communities. For example, in most places, physical interactions between most citizens of a city are very limited. Sure, I might interact with a dozen people today, but don’t physically interact with many more that I see on the streets, and I don’t even see most of the people in the city. Still, we are a community, because we have similar concerns, we are affected by many of the same things, we interact with each other in many ways — physically, on the phone, through the media, and virtually, through representative government. The blogger community is just as real, and in fact we interact with each other even more than many people in the physical world do. At any rate, we have become a world of millions of people, and that world is growing, changing, forming itself, and shaping future reality.
14. Government-influenced media bypassed. In many countries, there is a nominally free press, but the media is actually greatly influenced by the government. Actually, that’s true to some extent even in countries such as the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan and other places with a supposedly free press. The government has a larger control of the media than many people realize (see Chomsky for more). But the control by government of the media is extremely strong in other countries, and it is in these countries that bloggers can have the most powerful and immediate impact. Government can control the media, but in most cases it cannot control the bloggers, and therefore the bloggers are the instruments for getting the truth to the citizens of that country, and to the rest of the world.
15. No central control. Along those lines, besides the lack of government control, there is no central control whatsoever. One problem with the corporate model, and the model of a central government, is that it relies on central control. That inhibits the individuals who are not in control, restricts their power, stifles speech, cramps creativity and imagination, and severely limits the potential of any group. But bloggers, on the other hand, are a community of individuals, free to do and say as they want, free to associate as they please, free to create without approval, empowered to act and to enact change.
16. It gets you thinking. Aside from lack of awareness, one of the problems that prevents positive changes is that people often don’t think about certain issues very much. They are apathetic, or they passively consume information, or they think about what’s going on in their daily lives without thinking about what’s going on in the world as a whole. But blogs get discussion going, and get people talking about issues, and get them thinking about them. And just that little act, of getting people to think about an issue for a couple of minutes, has the potential for powerful change.

Why are blogs good?

• Raising awareness
• A global discussion
• The power of many
• The speed of change
• Interaction
• Instant news and opinions
• Coverups are uncovered
• Easier to research an issue
• Viral ideas
• Created a new world
• Government-influenced media bypassed
• No central control
• It gets you thinking

Get the low down here.. How can you help? Sign up to be a part of Blog Action Day, and join your voice with the rest of the blogging community for one day.

The initiative is a vehicle for change, a powerful concept: thousands of bloggers unite, for just one day, to talk about one issue. Will that change the world, just one day? Not immediately, but it in effect unites the blogging community. And once the community begins to unite, anything is possible.

I have stolen the copy above from the actual website, but it explains it well and it is late and I don’t feel in the mood to write.

Blogger James McGovern talked about how bloggers could change the world if they focused on others instead of themselves:

“If every blogger reading my blog instead of choosing to exercise their right to remain silent instead decided to spend just five minutes talking about poverty to one or two other individuals, poverty would be eliminated.”

I couldn’t agree more. Every once in a while I think all bloggers should use their blog to promote a good cause, so I’ve decided to jump on this bandwagon and see were it takes me, why not jump aboard!

At the weekend , whilst enjoying a day out at Ballintoy, I was able to pick up some mackerel directly from the fisherman, thus cutting out the middleman (I have nothing against middlemen per se,  everyone is entitled to a living I suppose) but it was a much nicer feeling to buy direct from source. What has this got to do with open source free software or even the idea of open source everything? Maybe nothing at all, but I liked it.

Far be from me to interfer in American politics or foreign policy, but this was too disgusting to ignore. So in an unprecedented move I veer away from web development, scuba diving and more personal ventures to draw attention to this banned excerpt from the video on war profiteering Republicans don’t want you to see….. Its progressive film director Robert Greenwald is scheduled to testify at a hearing on Thursday, May 10 about war profiteering, and had hoped to show this film at the hearing. It has been blocked by the republicans in the land famous for freedom, liberty and…yadda yadda! Go figure. Shit now I’m starting to sound like one of them. [note: this is humour and I am not intending to come across as racist in anyway or incite hatred of Americans , republicans or anyone else for that matter. But it does stink!]

Not sure how spreading this is going to stop it happening, what with corruption being rife the world over, and those involved being very unlikely to change seeing as they have so much to gain…but anyway here it is, watch it, get annoyed, think what you can do to rebalance the scales, so to speak and get to it. Find out more about the film and maybe do something to help if you can
