DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY:     Not many sites to which to refer you, but I do recommend some camera club sites. Click on the blocks below to take you directly to a few of these.

<<< The Royal Photographic Society, the venerable organisation of which many serious photographers in UK and beyond are members.

<<< This is the temporary, possibly permanent, site of the Digital Imaging Group, one of the special interest groups of the RPS. It has a very active committee and membership, and provides technical and other information, forums, with a folio of members' images. Its previous site was attacked and irreparably damaged by malicious hackers, but this interim site is proving to be as useful as the original.

<<< "Passion for Pixels" is an active Australian on-line site for digital photography.

Some RPS members :    Gitta Lim, LRPS,    Glenys Taylor, ARPS,    Paula Davies, FRPS,    John Long, ARPS,    Graham Whistler, FRPS,    and Clive Haynes, FRPS   (excellent for Photoshop tips).

Some sites providing advice on Photoshop techniques:    Luminous Landscape;    The Russell Brown Show;    Cambridge in Colour;    Ken Rockwell;    Jay Arraich;    Digital Directions;    Digital-Darkroom;    - and one just for an explanation of sharpening:    Creative Pro.

POPULATION:     Already mentioned in the"Population" section, some useful sites for reference are: "Optimum Population Trust" and "WWF". Additionally, for statistical reference, please try: "United Nations Population Division" and the UK department responsible for all government statistics: "Office for National Statistics". For an Australian site, go to "Sustainable Population Australia", and I find a good US site is: "Population Reference Bureau".

REINSURANCE DISPUTE RESOLUTION:     Previously mentioned is the arbitration society for reinsurance disputes. Its website may be found at: "A.R.I.A.S. (UK)".
A handy database of decisions in recent court cases in the Commercial Court, Court of Appeal etc is provided at "British and Irish Legal Information Institute", and for House of Lords judgments go to: "HoL Judgments". In England and Wales, arbitration is subject to the "Arbitration Act 1996", qv.
For names of law firms specialising in reinsurance dispute resolution, try: "Legal 500" which also provides links to the firms listed.

FRIENDS AND ACQUAINTANCES:     Not that I have many, but I should like to direct you to the site of a class-mate whom I last physically met back at school in the 1950s. He is Professor John Biggs, now retired (in Tasmania) but most active now as writer of fiction. His website is at this address.

Which just leaves the missing-link. My e-mail address is .
