		<description><![CDATA[You may or may not know what an ROV is &#8211; I am often asked. ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicle and usually refers to an underwater vehicle. I have always had a passion for ROVs. I built my first (fairly crude) ROV when I was twelve. It was powered by floating battery pack that also contained a radio receiver (pinched from an RC car). And it kinda worked too! My career path led me eventually into aviation but I have, over the last year, rekindled my long passion for exploring the depths of the ocean. I have trained to operate ROVs and now I am venturing out into this remarkable industry that I have always wanted to be involved in. I still fly (more as an occasional luxury now), I still write, and I&#8217;m still organizing the development of 15toGo! So as you can imagine, I&#8217;m extremely busy! If you are interested in ROVs and want to check out What they&#8217;re all about then I have a mini site here: http://steffanlewis.com/rov-pilot-technician/ I&#8217;ve you&#8217;ve found this and are looking to hire an ROV PT then check out my main ROV Pilot Technician web page!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 15toGo system will bring high quality video content to the world on a try before you buy basis. Movies, documentaries, dance films and the arts will all benefit. 15toGo is the service where independent film can be uploaded and their creative endeavours can flourish. The 15toGo system pays the film maker a lion&#8217;s share on a per view basis as well as 50% of advertising revenue. Unlike YouTube, we actively encourage marketing and efforts to push your movie to the forefront. We give film makers all the opportunities to excel with their marketing. 15toGo, in return, aims to deliver independent films to the open market, reaching millions of people. We are not simply about showcasing to the industry, we are about mass distribution. This new and innovative service aims to give independent and up and coming film makers the opportunities the industry currently fails to deliver them at the moment. 15toGo is both a spring board for film makers and a fully fledged distribution model that collaborates with the traditional distributors who wish to seek and deliver content.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[15toGo.com  will overcome the problems faced by many independent film makers who struggle to find a suitable distribution platform for their films, especially when so much time, effort and money is spent on production. Anyone who has ever made an independent film will tell you that it is virtually impossible to get a suitable distribution deal. Existing systems that digitally broadcast film vary from good to bad and few make much money for the film makers. It is a sad fact that amazing  film making talent is wasted and that mainstream broadcasters are continually showing repeats. The three saddest words are “It’s been shelved.” But it seems crazy to shelve good content, when, during the economic collapse, television companies are struggling to commission exciting new work and the networks are riddled with repeats! If you have contributed towards a film project on a crowd funding service, the chances are that film may be shelved and will not be widely distributed&#8230; &#8230;until now. 15toGo.com is a simple idea to create a unique digital broadcast service for cinematographers, independent film and programme makers. With your help, our team will bring our new platform to the industry. 15toGo.com will provide services to independent film makers offering unparalleled opportunities for income, showcasing and financing future productions. But it’s not just the film makers who will benefit. 15toGo aims to provide services to people in many areas of the industry including  writers, journalists, comedians, actors and musicians. This project will be by far our  biggest yet and it will....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A message from Steffan: Hi, and thank you for your interest in helping us build a platform upon which new and independent film makers can distribute their work and gain exposure with a financial gain. I hope you find this blog interesting, with enough information to entice you to help fund this project. You will need to register and log into the blog to find out how 15toGo will work. I&#8217;ll be updating this blog with progress reports and a running commentary for anybody who is interested in how this project develops. I&#8217;m excited about this project and wholeheartedly committed to making this work for everybody. ABOUT ME I am an entrepreneur, airline pilot and flight instructor with a degree in film production and a passion for writing. Gaining experience from club promoting, film making, architecture, web design, the aviation industry and business, I have a varied history and skill set. My creativity and writing is derived from my experience and a strong (and often silly) sense of humour. All said, my family is the most important aspect of my life. You can follow me @steffanglewis on twitter. I&#8217;ve been branded a workaholic serial entrepreneur, but I prefer to call myself a creative inventor (who happens to fly aeroplanes). I&#8217;m proud to be someone who has ideas. Some big ideas, some small ideas. Turning ideas into a reality is possibly one of the biggest challenges anyone can face. But I believe that the task becomes feasible if it is shared with people who believe in its potential. That is....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love a good conspiracy theory. Especially when it comes to UFOs. But the end of the world as we know it is due on the 21st of December this year. So there&#8217;s loads to look forwards to. In the mean time, the big conspiracy theory circulating the internet is that the Olympic Games in London are going to be used to stage a grand entry by some distant cousin aliens who are stopping by earth for a visit before its impending destruction. When the UK&#8217;s Telegraph newspaper reported footage of the UFO over the ceremony I thought &#8211; that&#8217;s it then, aliens exist and I&#8217;d better put to right all the bad things I&#8217;ve done in life just in case there&#8217;s a heaven, or more worryingly &#8211; a hell. So I thought I&#8217;d better investigate things. With some relief and a hint of disappointment I discovered that there&#8217;s nothing much to worry about on this occasion. So I&#8217;ve put the following image together to show my thoughts. &#160; - Oh well, I suppose it&#8217;s too soon to cancel all my repayment direct debits.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m sure we all have an opinion about this. But for me it has to be the scene from Jaws 2. It&#8217;s the scene when a woman is speeding around in a nice little wooden boat by an idyllic beach with a lovely young woman having fun on a water ski. Until, that is, Jaws the second arrives with a craving to satisfy a ceaseless megalodon hunger. So the poor hapless lass is swallowed in chunks while the woman continues to cruise around for what must seem like an eternity when your being chewed to death. Finally, after selfishly enjoying the summer sea air rushing through her hair the woman notices the teenager is absent. Meanwhile, Jaws, not content with the succulent young woman, makes it&#8217;s move to secure the meal deal and rams the boat. The woman, slightly surprised to discover the shark nose protruding through the side of her boat, instantaneously douses herself in gas and fires a flare. Yep, she wins my &#8220;most dumb ass character in any film&#8221; award without question. There are no clips of the ultimate moment of daftness so I guess you&#8217;ll just have to revisit the movie! In fact see Jaws 1 and 2 together next time you have a rainy Sunday afternoon to kill (you can guess what I&#8217;ve been doing today). Please let me know of any other characters, real or fictional who should appear in my hall of stupidity.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thousands of cyclists rode naked through the streets of towns and cities around the world  during the weekend  as part of an annual Global campaign to increase awareness of the dangers to cyclists and in protest against what organizers called the rule of motor vehicles on the roads. “It is about putting cycling and pedestrians first, instead of last,” said a London spokesman for the World Naked Bike Ride. People along the London route from Wellington Arch to the Mall and back, who did not know what was going on looked on at the 800 naked cyclists with bemusement. However, no arrests were made for offences relating to public nudity according to a Metropolitan Police spokesman. Being naked in a public place is not criminal offence, but it can be treated as one if it causes offence and it often depends on whether there was intention to cause offence. The London event&#8217;s spokesman said there was a serious purpose to eighth annual bike ride in the capital. “It shows the vulnerability of cyclists in traffic. “It can be very dangerous in London for cyclists. Blue cycle lanes can be disastrous, because the cyclist assumes they’re safe within it, while motorists don’t pay any attention.” Some of the signs read ‘Can you see me now?’ This article was written for the Vehicle Reporting and road safety website Regtex.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;but  the number of traffic wardens were cut by 5 per cent. 6.8 million parking tickets were handed out in 2011, which is one ticket every five seconds. According to research by Swiftcover.com, a shortage of town-centre parking and increased use of CCTV technology to spot illegally parked cars were behind the increase, generating over £234 million in revenue for local councils. Although it is illegal for local authorities to use parking fines specifically to bolster their coffers, the extra funds have come at a good time for councils as they have had their budgets from central government cut by an average of 7 per cent a year until 2014. An average of 74,257 fines were handed out by each local council last year, an increase of over 2,000 since the previous year. However, the number of traffic wardens across the councils falling from just under 3,900 by 200. Robin Reames, chief claims officer at Swiftcover.com, acknowledged that a shortage of parking has become a problem in UK towns and cities but does not excuse illegal parking. “Although it might be an easy option to park on a double yellow for a short time, it’s potentially dangerous as well as being illegal, and can result in a fine,” he said. The increase has led to an increase in the number of disputes by motorists, with one in four parking tickets queried by drivers with two out of five being overturned. Around 1/8th of tickets are being issued erroneously although motorists....]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is Road Rage? Road rage is the term given to aggressive behaviour by a driver of a motor vehicle. The term was first used by local news readers during coverage of a spate shootings by angry drivers in the 1987 in Los Angeles, California. The term Road rage is now widely used throughout the world to describe behaviour including assault, abusive gestures, verbal insults, deliberately driving in an unsafe or threatening manner and making threats. Road rage has, in many cases, led to violence, and even death. In most countries Road rage is treated as an offence as it is viewed as an endangerment of public safety, though enforcement differs from one jurisdiction to the next. In New Zealand, for example, Road rage is not classified as an offence. But in New South Wales, Australia, someone committing road rage may be charged with ‘predatory driving’, resulting with disqualification from driving, up to a 5 year prison sentence and a AU$100,000 fine. If the Road rage incident results in a physical assault or damage, the penalties can be even more severe. UK law determines that road rage is a criminal act incurring penalties for personal assault, GBH (grievous bodily harm) or ABH (actual bodily harm) where applicable. The Public Order Act 1986 can be applied to Road rage. Sections 4A and 5 of the 1986 Act prohibit public acts likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress. Section 4 also prohibits threatening, abusive or offensive words and behaviour with intent to....]]></description>
