This 10 minute video features ACBA club members cleaning the club's observation hive on monday morning. The hive is situated inside with an opening through the wall to the outside. Inside the hive there sit 4 vertical frames sandwiched by plexi-glass. It's quite an interesting set-up. As the video shows, a more regular cleaning is important to keep the bees happy. *Special Notes on the film: The hive should be carried outside in order to limit bees escaping into the building. Future taping within the building 'needs to be 'okayed' by the city.' Enjoy the video.

I’ve begun a regiment of significantly less alcohol and significantly more exercise. I’ve built the confidence in my Chinese skills to talk with strangers, order food, and make purchases. Dan’s lady arrived into town. The winds have begun to blow. I bought turtles. My ginger-mint has taken root. and I’ve started going to the park. But in all fairness, these things are only trivial compared to the changes in my closet. 帅巴 J no http://blog.johnmizell.com/2009/03/31/recruitment/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=recruitment http://blog.johnmizell.com/2009/03/31/recruitment/#comments Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:18:20 +0000 admin http://b745d771-2420-44c0-86fd-cf933efaa941 http://blog.johnmizell.com/2009/03/31/recruitment/feed/ 1 Aston,China,Hohhot,Podcast,Recruitment,Video We were asked to do some recruitment for Aston-Hohhot.

We were asked to do some recruitment for Aston-Hohhot. So we looked into it and here were the terms: Make a recruitment video for the Hohhot branch of the company as a tool to recruit new teachers with. It was to be a competition. (the other schools had know about this for months already) First prize was 2000 RMB. The other videos are on YouTube. We checked them out. We thought we had a chance. We began brainstorming ideas putting down pages full of notes, hours of tea and cakes, and really difficult work. Really. After two weeks of scripting, filming, and producing, we feel that TODAY we finally have the perfect representation of both city, society, and school here in Hohhot, China and we present it to you now, so please enjoy.
