England saw the potential wealth that cod fishing could bring their country.

Cod fish, once caught, could be dried and salted and sailed back to Europe. Cod was light and easily transported and furthermore, less expensive that other meats such as beef, pork, or lamb. At that point in time, the wealth that cod could bring to the European market was thought to surpass that of South American gold or Caribbean sugar.

There aren’t many books pertaining to movie reviewing, and in fact, according to Christopher Null, the author of Five Stars: How To Become A Film Critic, The World’s Greatest Job, this is the first manual for aspiring film critics ever to be published.

Null is the founder of the web site, filmcritic.com that today is one of the largest and most successful movie websites on the Internet.

As the author points out, the primary focus of Five Stars: How To Become A Film Critic, The World’s Greatest Job, is teaching newcomers how to break into Internet criticism and grow a career from there.

There is a guy called Pendleton. You won’t have heard of him but he is well known in Britain, at least in medical circles. He was a family physician with a love of medical education and used to teach doctors to become better family doctors.

One of the things he developed was “Pendleton’s Rules”. This was a process of feedback on a task between two or more people. It was designed to be safe, non-threatening and constructive.
