Here is a quick film and talk movie I made in the town of Tel Mond in central Israel.
The town was founded by Alfred Mond who had been a British cabinet minister as well as a prominent industrialist who founded Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) amongst others.
He switched sides away from the Liberal party to the Conservative party in the mid 1920s owing to a disagreement with Lloyd George on the nationalisation of agriculture.
He was not a committed Zionist nor did he think anything special about being Jewish. His wife was not Jewish nor did his children receive any Jewish education whatsoever and were brought up in the Church of England. However something snapped possibly as a result of racism in Russia and he became a committed Zionist after the first world war.
He provided the funding that set up the Tel Mond settlement which today bears his name.

My channel on you tube : http://www.youtube.com/alanheath is one of the most prolific from Poland, although unfortunately not the most visited. With almost one film per day, one may be forgiven for thinking I do nothing else but I do have a day job as well. I have produced more than 400 original films, most in English but also in Polish, French, Italian, Spanish and the occasional hint of German and Hebrew. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects

Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!

There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- http://www.ceepackaging.com - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focussing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers. Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!

Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region and the sites http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/... and http://www.ceepackaging.com/articles/... give a pretty good idea where future films are going to come from! Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!

In 1997 I founded Polish Business News http://www.pbn.com.pl .There are a number of business related films here and I intend to do many more on CRM (customer relations management).

@ThePINEAPPLEFUCKER Yes, you are right. I was feeling quite happy the day I filmed this.

I have just realised that Lord Melchett is also the character played by Steven Fry in Blackadder 2 and 4!
