Lesson Info
Clam Shell Lighting
let's just bring out the booth for lying in this freezing cold weather address below forty s so what we're gonna do if I could get plugged back in to the uh trigger what we're going to do for all of you guys is kind of an added bonus shot here where we're going to do my tape is jake okay we're going to do something like a lot of photographers out there that are watching they sheet maybe like senior portrait and you have like cool young hip girls and they want a really glamorous shot or something that looks more high fashion or you happen to have a bride who's soup you got great skin and she's thin and pretty and you want to do something a little more fashion so we're going to do what's called clamshell lighting just using our soft box and a reflector really quick to do a really cool head shot so the way that we do this and I'm trying to debate if we should do it with sky's our backdrop or with the greenery is our backdrop it I'm almost thinking the sky might be better just because it d...
oesn't get any cooler than the sky so what we're gonna do is all we're gonna do is we're gonna do it what's called clamshell lighting and what clamshell lighting is yet let me get that for when your foot my man perfect what clamshell lighting is is when you have to light sources coming like this and you guys ever look it like revlon commercials or makeup commercials and they're like kind of shadow this lighting on their face and their face just looks like whoa it's like let big time so we're going to do that for our amazing amazing bride and kind of re mimic that right here live in front of everybody so we're gonna have her come right over here and this is a great backdrop because we've got a nice neutral sky which is gonna look great so you're gonna stand right here my dear but I mean facing this way and then we're gonna bring our strobe in and instead of putting it to the side or forty five degrees earning that we're gonna put it straight on and light her super close super straight on in the closer the better it just has to be far enough away to where we can bounce some light back with our reflector to get under her chin so we're gonna have stacy do is basically get our light just like this shooting and you can probably stand just to the side just like that and see how the bottom is even are perpendicular to the ground just like that boom so that's awesome and we won't need as much power here either because the light is going to be so damn close so I'm just going to double check that sky exposure really quick let me get my camera back talking here to the computers which always takes about eight or ten seconds of awkward news just getting a patient you want to say something I'm waiting for something amazing amazing nothing you guys have any questions at all while we are waiting there is a weird accent again on this matter go yes there are a couple of questions right now right now it's really cold outside and we just came from a really nice warm indoor area oh how do you deal with lens fogging from hot to cold sometimes we just have to wait it out wait till like cameras adjust you know we do the wedding in miami beach and um indoors it was nice and a seed and as soon as we stepped out everything just fogged up because the humidity was just so we have them a little bit yesterday when we when zac came out to do the stroke shot at the very end and then the fog created a cool look but you don't until they want that all the time so we kind of waited out and you know you can open your gear and it depends where you are you know if you're on it beach with sand blowing is not necessarily something that you want to do but that isn't the only mind for because you can freak out really quick too for not paying attention like oh my gosh what's going on why do I shot look like this is like oh so just allow a few minutes to let your gear just yeah okay what we also do is we leave if you don't have a uv filter on there you won't really have to deal with that quite as much because moisture usually gets trapped between you sometimes even the top of the lenses we'll just box you can you just you know wipe it off with a soft backup thank you another question is um we talked about this yesterday but from greg mack is why don't you use uh lens hood went outside to get in my way personally I know they're really good teo flare tto help prevent flare and then also when you drop your lenses um it helps protect the body but oftentimes I take it off because it just gets in my way especially when we use the expo disc were pulling that bad boy out and then if we have the lens hood on were like putting it inside the lens hood and then we're blocking the light but hitting it anyways that's often easier for me just to take him off if I'm really trying to get a shot and flares a serious problem um I'll put that one sit on it for the most part they keep rough okay so we're ready to rock you're ready to share what you're doing is talking yeah so we just got the background set again I double checked the exposure I pointed my camera the sky made sure it was one stop underexposed just like it was a really weird pretty much the same settings because the sky has not really changed we just have the uh flash a little bit lower power because it's so close to our amazing bride who's getting rained on right now so now we're going to simply lean r flash and kind of like this really close we're gonna we're gonna do one shot without the reflector and then we're gonna add it to show you the difference we're gonna have you looking right here bring this more this way so we're gonna have you standing right there yeah looks amazing looking right here at me perfect so as you can see right off the top looks really really cool we've got this great super beautiful soft light on her face now we're going to fill in those shadows under her cheeks and on her eyes with the reflector so back up just a tiny bit perfect and we're gonna basically make the lights look like a clam is eating her face so we're taking the light bound coming out of the soft box we're taking the light coming out of the soft box and we're bouncing it back in with this reflector right here we're using the silver gold side because it bounces a lot of light so you had to bring it up you can't even see it's even reflecting the natural life just like that perfect and looking right here nice serious one that looks amazing awesomeness so now check out the difference between those two shots is this next one comes up it looks amazing let's just do a couple more so we get a really saw it also give me just a few different looks my dear perfect every time we hear a beep will be ready for another one yes no that's gorgeous it's alright again can we have ah ah hand on the side maybe you have not looked amazing and move this way a little stacy yeah perfect just like that a couple more let's also my dear supercool lovett who that's gorgeous chin up just a touch just like that perfect what hold it no move supercool to steal another one maybe one kind of grabbing your coat pulling it together yeah oh someone's do one more just like that the pretend you're freezing super cool one more we should be good dan you're awesome take naturally and you guys seeing those coming through they just look like absolutely amazing those air straight out of the camera we haven't edited any of these here let's take one with the natural light and even throw a reflector and they're like we could add a reflector for a little bit added light but if you have a senior or a bride that is cool and anyway and you shoot them images like that she's going to feel like and we've done this for a number of different brides that have been really pretty or really into fashion or that kind of stuff and they have really freaked out you know seeing those kind of awesome images so we're gonna snap on really quick of our ride before she freezes your butt off take our little neutral density filter off the same thing perfect nine diffuse that late you look so good so let's go ahead and pop some light now don't defuse it don't worry about that just pops in line underneath yep one more so we can make it look a little better and you'll see that last one but it's not going to be quite anything like those earlier images as you can see so that's what the reflector added obviously helps fill in the shadows quite a bit but if they want to scroll back to the last one we shot with lights you can really see the difference between what we just did with that soft box and how stinking amazing that was

I have two words to use to review this first day of the class. The first word starts with an F, so I can't use it here. The second word is Awesome. There was a technical glitch partway into it, which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. To have thousands of people watching the live stream and then it dies for a whole hour. Ouch. I was feeling like I would just wait and watch the whole thing later, as I purchased it before it started, but I tuned in this afternoon and watched some more. Wow. Thank you Zach and Jody. I have been learning so much from people whose work I admire, and who inspire me, and I put it all to great use. (My girlfriend told me so, so I know it's true.) The hour I watched after lunch was PACKED with GREAT info, and I am so glad I bought the $99 package beforehand. But if the rest of the weekend is as info-packed as the hour I caught this afternoon, even $150 is money well spent. This is how you go from good to great. Take that knowledge and move forward and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Thank for putting this event on, and I look forward to downloading the videos when they are up!

Great class. I didn't get catch it all but what I did was fantastic. I had an opportunity to attend a workshop they did last year in Nashville at Dury's and it was great, so knew this was going to be extra special with 3 days to work with instead of about 6 or 7 hours. I plan on purchasing the class and using this great info to help me do my first wedding shoot in March. They have inspired me and given me courage to press on. Thanks, Creative Live and thanks to Zach and Jody.

WARRENSVILLE HEIGHTS, Ohio - The FOX 8 I TEAM has uncovered a second criminal case pending against the Warrensville Heights high school band director, and we've learned what led to his arrest Thursday in a sex investigation.
Duane Keeton is being held in jail without bond, and court records show a growing investigation.
Friday, police filed a sex charge. Now, the I TEAM has learned that came after investigators found the band director is accused of offering a juvenile money for sex.
An affidavit sent to Bedford Municipal Court also shows a second case under investigation for sexual battery. That case involves another juvenile allegedly being offered money for sex.
The investigation began Thursday when police received a complaint.
FOX 8 received a tip saying Keeton had been walked out of the high school by police.
Friday morning, the Warrensville Heights Police Chief told the I TEAM, Keeton left school voluntarily to speak with officers and he was not in custody. However, hours later, the City released a statement saying Keeton had been in custody since the day before.
He will face a judge on the criminal charges soon. The case remains under investigation.

Toyota Motor Corp., the world's second-largest carmaker, said it will produce the Yaris compact car at its joint venture in Guangzhou, China, from mid-2008 to expand in the world's fastest-growing major car market.
Toyota plans to build between 80,000 and 90,000 Yaris cars a year in China, the company said on its Web Site. The Yaris, known as the Vitz in Japan, will be the second model after Camry that the automaker will make at Guangzhou Toyota Motor Co., a joint venture and sales company established with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co. Toyota is trying to win customers in China from rivals General Motors Corp. and Honda Motor Co.
The automaker plans to increase the venture's capital by $49 million as it adds production of the Yaris, Toyota said. Separately, Toyota said it expects Guangzhou-made Camry sales to exceed its initial forecast of 50,000 vehicles by the end of the year by about 5,000 units. The venture started production in May and has an annual production capacity of about 200,000 vehicles. Shares of Toyota, which have gained 29% this year, were unchanged at ¥7,920 in Tokyo.

L-R: Max Stamos VP of Management, Michael Luzier President & CEO of Home Innovation Research Labs, Christina Webb VP of Development, Joel Altman Chairman/ CEO, Jeff Roberts President/ COO, Kyle M. Abney Abney + Abney Green Solutions
ORLANDO, FL – The Altman Companies has a lot to celebrate in Orlando. It just finished up construction on the 315-unit Altís Sand Lake in the Dr. Phillips neighborhood.
A ceremony was held Wednesday, April 13 at Altís Sand Lake and at the same time, the company was awarded the National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Green Certification by Michael Luzier, president and CEO of Home Innovation Research Labs.
|Joel Altman
Altís Sand Lake is the largest NGBS Green Certified multifamily community in Orlando, in terms of number of certified buildings. The development has 13 separate buildings.
The NGBS is an ANSI-approved national rating system used to gauge the performance of residential construction based on six key categories: energy efficiency; water efficiency; resource efficiency; lot development; operation and maintenance; and indoor air quality.
NGBS Green Certification is provided by Home Innovation Research Labs, an accredited third-party testing and certification agency and an independent subsidiary of the National Association of Home Builders.
"We are very proud that our company has achieved its first NGBS Green Certification," said Joel Altman, chairman of The Altman Companies. "We at Altman are committed to see that our residents have an Exceptional Living Experience, and we are also environmentally conscious and care about a sustainable lifestyle. At Altís Sand Lake, we are able to give our residents both."
"Attaining our third-party 'seal of approval' allows quality-minded builders like The Altman Companies to distinguish their properties from the competition," according to Luzier.
"Earning NGBS Green Certification means going beyond what's simply required by code, to provide consumers with a better place to call home – an energy cost-saving, healthier, and more comfortable place to live. I applaud Altman for making this commitment at Altís Sand Lake for the benefit of its renters and the larger community."
Altís Sand Lake is located at 7118 Altís Way.

Reid Hires A Dummy
The Buck Stops Here
The Politico reports on some back and forth between Senate Republicans and Democrats over lobbying and ethics legislation:
[Sen. Jim] DeMint [R., S.C.] says he supports the lobbying reform provisions in the package. But he isn't likely to budge until he gets a promise from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that the new Senate rules on earmarks won't be watered down or deleted from the final bill.
The earmark provision is a change in Senate rules, which DeMint argues shouldn't be part of any conference committee with the House.
"The House has no reason to tinker with Senate rules," said Wesley Denton, DeMint's spokesman. "The only reason to want to put them in conference is because they intend to change them."
Jim Manley, Reid's spokesman, calls those assertions "phony as a two-dollar bill."
Give Reid credit. Not many employers would give such a big break to a Taco Bell clerk.

VP predicts long, bitter economic struggle
Windhoek � Vice-President Nangolo Mbumba yesterday predicted that Namibia's struggle for economic freedom would be as bitter and long as the national liberation struggle, which took 30 years.
Mbumba made this remark in a speech read on his behalf by Minister of Agriculture, Water and Forestry, Alpheus! Naruseb, at the International Workers Day commemoration held at Khorixas yesterday.
This year's commemoration was held under the theme Namibian Workers and Employers Unite for Economic Upliftment.
Namibia faces her sternest test yet, with increasing demands by citizens � especially those whose communities were disadvantaged on a racial basis by apartheid and German colonialism � for greater access to the country's national resources.
Namibia emerged from colonial rule with a skewed distribution of agricultural land and high levels of poverty, and while poverty has greatly declined, access to land remains largely the same.
The issue of land has consequently birthed another emotive issue, housing, which remains a pipe dream for particularly the youth and young professionals.
The second national land conference slated for October this year is hoped to will put the final nail in the coffin of these issues.
Another issue of concern is the dominance of Namibia's key sectors � such as mining and fishing � by foreigners and Namibians from previously advantaged backgrounds.
Calls for nationalisation of select industries have yielded little results, but Mbumba yesterday predicted that the economic struggle, while long and bitter, would one day be won hands down.
Just as many did not live to see the day of our political freedom, many of our compatriots too may not experience economic freedom in their lifetime, but their children and grandchildren will see the day, based on the sacrifices which their parents and grandparents would have made, he said.
Mbumba said the march towards economic freedom only started in 1990, and is currently 28 years old; whereas the entrenched poverty, inequality, mental slavery, ignorance, tribal and racial indoctrination and all the associated socio-economic evils pervasive among Namibians go back to the 19th century.
Similarly, he said, as government had previously united all people in all communities � the groups of formerly oppressed people such as the churches, youths, workers, political parties and sympathetic continental and international friends, who had all struggled towards the common goal of Namibia's independence, also now need a similar united front today to steer the country towards economic freedom.
We Namibians must accept that our money is a product of our sweat, energy, intelligence, skills and knowledge. Robbing, stealing and using all other illicit means is not the solution, he said.
He said corruption is a serious problem that adds undue costs to social services wherever and whittles away the welfare of the people.
Therefore, Mbumba said that as President Hage Geingob has time and again emphasised, the government has taken decisive action against perceived cases of corruption such as the cancellation of the Hosea Kutako airport tender, passing of the new Public Procurement Act in 2016, and the Whistle-Blowers Protection and Witness Protection Acts in September 2017, and instituted a host of legal and administrative corruption-preventative measures, among others. But post-independence corruption is symptomatic of a people who have been economically denied their birthright through pre-independence corruption which is the colonial grand theft of the land, cattle and minerals of our people, and the subsequent legal whitewash which accorded these stolen goods private property status, he said.
He said this historic corruption is what has today caused the deep-rooted poverty, the scarcity of goods such as housing, classrooms, hospitals, industries, skills inadequacy, landlessness and many other socio-economic ills presently prevalent in the society.
To address these deep-seated structural problems, we as Namibians have collectively agreed to the rationale of starting the second phase of the struggle for economic emancipation. As a result, we should not be sidetracked by emotional issues away from the core issue of economic freedom for all Namibians, he said.
Mbumba also used the opportunity to urge all workers to join President Geingob's invitation to a national clean-up campaign on May 25 to restore Windhoek and all Namibian cities and towns' status of being the cleanest places in Africa.

Sunhak Peace Prize Laureate, Akinwumi Adesina, has pledged to do more to advance Africa's fight against hunger, poverty and youth underemployment.
This is contained in a statement issued by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and e-mailed to newsmen on Monday in Lagos.
According to the statement, Adesina and co-Laureate, Waris Dirie, a global champion against Female Genital Mutilation, shared the prestigious $1million prize at an award ceremony held on Feb. 9 in Seoul, South Korea.
"We are in a race with time to unlock the full potential of Africa.
"My life is only useful to the extent that it helps to lift millions of people out of poverty, Adesina declared, known globally for his dogged determination to reduce global poverty declared.
He immediately announced he was donating his $500,000 share of the prize to fighting hunger in Africa.
"There is tremendous suffering going on in the world.
"While progress is being made, we are not winning the war on global hunger.
" There cannot be peace in a world that is hungry.
"Hunger persists in regions and places going through conflicts, wars and fragility.
"Those who suffer the most are women and children,'' Adesina said during the award ceremony.
The AfDB President, who believes a peaceful world will be a food secure world, pointed out that only one per cent of the world richest own 50 per cent of global wealth.
"Nothing is more important than ensuring that we feed the world and eliminate hunger and malnutrition.
"Hunger is an indictment on the human race.
"Any economy that claims growth without feeding its people is a failed economy.
"Nobody has to go hungry, white, black, pink, orange or any colour you can think.''
He also told participants including global leaders that there must be accountability to the poor.
"We must reduce global income inequality; we need wealth, yes, but we need wealth for everyone, not just a few.
"Today, the poor are stuck and only end up eating crumbs, if any at all, that fall from the tables of the rich.
"This sense of exclusion and lack of equity or fairness often drives conflicts.
"We have an opportunity to reverse the situation through sustainable agriculture as a business, and not as an aid program.''
Adesina's co-Laureate, Waris Dirie, has played a leading role in drawing global attention to the fight and against Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and the need for legislation to ban the practice.
Dirie said, "Female Genital Mutilation scars victims physically, emotionally, and mentally.''
The World Health Organisation (WHO) estimates that more than 200 million girls and women alive today have been cut in 30 countries in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where FGM is carried out on young girls between infancy and the age 15.
More than 1,000 influencers from over the world, including current and former heads of state and government, private sector leaders, investors and development experts attended the SunHak Peace Prize and the Peace Summit of Global Leaders.
Each year, the SunHak Peace Prize honours an individual or organisation making significant contributions to global peace and the welfare of mankind.

Disclaimer: I am a huge Drake enthusiast and still recovering from the fact that he was down the street from our office and I did not get to meet him. Consider this a part of my recovery process.
Mythical wingless angel Drake was spotted enjoying sushi and drinks at Azumi in Harbor East last night. While we are unsure as to why he is in town, the luckiest people in the universe received the dinner surprise of their lives.
Candice Law was downtown celebrating a family member's birthday, she said on Twitter, when she received the news that the Canadian rapper himself was at the sushi restaurant with some friends.
⇓ Article continues below ⇓
The group went to Azumi in Harbor East around 11:55 p.m., requesting to sit outside on the patio, Joe Sweeney, spokesman for Atlas Restaurant Group, told The Sun.
The 6 God requested to listen to Jay-Z's brand new "4:44" album and we're assuming that Azumi didn't have Tidal (because who does?), which is the only streaming service it's available on. So, Sweeney said, they "were able to accommodate him."
Once Law arrived at the restaurant with her cousin, she was understandably hesitant to approach Champagne Papi, who was surrounded by a tight security team. But she got up the courage, shaky hands and all, to walk out to the patio to "give the speech" of her life.
Law, who described the former Degrassi star as "delicious," said she is a huge fan and that she drove 10 hours up to Toronto for his annual OVO Fest.
They also discussed venues that Drake could play in Baltimore, and he pointed across the water to Pier Six and said he'd want to play there. ("He's too adorable, so I don't think to tell him that he's too big to play there," she wrote.)
From Law's account, Drake was nothing but the king we all already knew he was, offering to connect her with tickets to an upcoming show and not batting an eye when getting a picture with her. Though, she did admit that she was so flustered she forgot her phone passcode a couple of times. She is all of us.
"I said thank you more times than I can count," Law wrote. "The rest is history. Most epic moment of my life."
While we don't know if Drake is still in the area, I plan on starting my weekend off staring listlessly at the Four Seasons, contemplating picking up a shift at Azumi just in case he returns.

Air Pollution - Essay 7
When people think about air pollution, they usually think about smog, acid rain, CFC's, and other forms of outdoor air pollution. The health of many people is affected by chemical substances present in the air within buildings. We chose this topic to be more aware about air pollution these days because it is more harmful to our health. To know some idea on how to handle air pollution and the importance of protecting the environment. An expression implying that we live because we breathe. Fresh air is the phase we use to suggest healthy living.
Air is important. Plants, animals, and human beings, where able to emerge because of the supply of oxygen generated by the earliest marine organisms over billions of years. The air is polluted because of the dusts that come from vehicles and factories. We can see people wearing nose mask. The fact that they filter out particles of dust and soot simply adds the poignancy of our urban predicament. Factories are one of the reasons why we have air pollution. The soot that comes out from a particular factory can spread harmful chemicals that we might breathe instead of fresh air. Canals also produce air pollution because of the bad odor coming from it maybe because of the trash that gets stuck on the canals because of improper waste disposal. Air supplies us with oxygen which is essential for our bodies to live. Air is 99.9% nitrogen, oxygen, water vapor and inert gases. Human activities can release substances into the air, some of which can cause problems for humans, plants, and animals. There are several main types of pollution and well-known effects of pollution which are commonly discussed. These include smog, acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and "holes" in the ozone layer. Each of these problems has serious implications for our health and well-being as well as for the whole environment. Methods
1. Divide students into cooperative learning groups of three to four students or have them work individually.
2. Tell each group to decide which areas they would like to test. For example: a wall outside the classroom, a wall near the school's parking lot, a tree next to a park, the interior of their classroom, the interior of their home, the family car, their bicycle, or their bike helmet. To increase the accuracy of the experiment, and avoid the loss of data, each of these areas should be tested with three to five data collection tools.
3. Each group will also create a control for their experiment. Preparing the data collection tool
4. Label each index card with the location
where it will be placed.
5. Smear petroleum jelly on the middle area of
an index card. The air pollution particles
(those that are visible) will stick to the
petroleum jelly.
Experimental Procedure
6. Once the students have prepared their index cards, they should make observations of the appearance of the petroleum jelly.
7. They should make a hypothesis that answers this question: Which area will have the most air pollution stick to the petroleum jelly? 8. The students should then tape the index cards to the areas being tested for air pollution.
9. The control is placed inside of a Ziploc-style bag and put inside of a drawer or cabinet.
10. Students can determine when they will make observations of their index cards. For instance, they could make observations every two days for two weeks, or once each week for three weeks. When they make their observations, they can take photographs of the index cards to document the amount of particles sticking to the petroleum jelly, they can examine them with magnifying lenses, or note the percentage of the area with particles attached. (Divide area into a 10 x 10 grid and count how many squares have particles.) The controls should also be observed on the same schedule as the cards in the exposed areas. Students should write the data in their science journal.
Family car
11. Once the designated data collection time has been reached,...

In a poll of 62,000 away fans the WFCG has come 4th for match atmosphere and beating the lego Prideless park into 5th. Dont mention the "scum" coming in the top 3 though
Genuinely stunned by that.
Me too, on its day it's good, but it's fell off a cliff in recent years.
so how about a linky then?
Maybe more a reflection of the City Ground being a nice away day than specifically a view of tye atmosphere generated inside it?
Yeah, away fans love the location.
Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk
And the guranteed 3 points
Yet apparently The City Ground's picturesque location was deemed second best behind Sheffield United's Bramall Lane! So it's all evidently all a load of bollocks.
Unsurprisingly Reading in the bottom 3.
Bramhall Lane better than the City Ground.......really?
Anyone got a link to this?
"Food and drink" 6th in the Championship?!
That's because of people like me. Come on you forest men.
He only likes communicating in pictures
I didn't even know we did food or drink? Is it that offal they launch in disgust?

A History of Roman Literature
A History of Roman Literature
This book is intended primarily for use as a text-book in schools and colleges. I have therefore given more dates and more details about the lives of authors than are in themselves important, because dates are convenient aids to memory, as they enable the learner to connect his new knowledge with historical facts he may have learned before, while biographical details help to endow authors with something of concrete personality, to which the learner can attach what he learns of their literary and intellectual activity.
Extracts from Latin authors are given, with few exceptions, in English translation. I considered the advisability of giving them in Latin, but concluded that extracts in Latin would probably not be read by most young readers, and would therefore do less good than even imperfect translations. Moreover, the texts of the most important works are sure to be at hand in the schools, and books of selections, such as Cruttwell andBanton Specimens of Roman Literature, Tyrrell Anthology of Latin Poetry, and Gudeman Latin Literature of the Empire, are readily accessible. I am responsible for all translations not accredited to some other translator. In making my translations, I have employed blank verse to represent Latin hexameters; but the selections from the Æneid are given in Conington's rhymed version, and in some other cases I have used translations of hexameters into metres other than blank verse.

Tuesday 10th April 2007
Originally published in Telegraph Online
Filed under Film
Danny Boyle's Sunshine is akin to the premiership of Tony Blair: initially intriguing, even hopeful, but ultimately a huge disappointment filled with hollow promise.
Yet, also like Blair, it has an overwhelming sense of its own worth, an elevated opinion of its place in the pantheon of greats. In essence, it is nowhere near as important or intelligent as it seems to believe it is.
As a science-fiction rollercoaster, the first forty minutes of Sunshine are gripping stuff - disaster follows disaster with nail-shredding, bowel-loosening tension. But suddenly, as though inflated by its own puffed-up ego, it turns into messy meditation on existence, faith and factor-60 suncream.
It even tries its hand at emulating 2001 an attempt as flashy, empty and unfulfilling as a masturbatory fantasy about Fearne Cotton.
So, to celebrate this triumph of style over content, Reel Life lists some other films that think they are smarter than they actually are.
The Matrix (1999)
I'm waiting for the howls of protest from the fanboys on this one. However, face facts. As an action film, it's certainly exciting, but the moment people start droning on about Oracles, Architects, and what is reality, it turns into a first-year philosophy student's last minute coursework entry. You want proof? The Matrix includes the line: "Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth." Indeed.
Gus Van Sant's shot-for-shot remake of Psycho (1998)
Brilliant. You take a masterpiece of horror and remake it almost exactly, but instead of Anthony Perkins, Janet Leigh and erotic terror, we get Vince Vaughan, Anne Heche and extra w**king. Why, Gus, why? The original was great, you are a fabulous director, but what on earth inspired you to attempt (and fail at) this ridiculous intellectual exercise?
The Prestige (2006)
What is the truth? Where does the illusion start? And stop? What is real? What is fake? All very good questions until you work out the twist (after about half an hour) and then everything, although undeniably pretty and well-acted (especially by Michael Caine and David Bowie), becomes a tad pretentious.
The Island (2005)
An ambitious action movie dealing with complex themes of existence, self and class. Yay! Directed by Michael Bay. Boo!
Creep (2004)
This attempt to remake classic British London Underground horror Deathline is a complete success apart from the lack of pathos, bathos, wit, suspense, humour and memorable characters. And it seems to see itself as a social commentary on something or other. Answers on a postcard please.
The Last Action Hero (1993)
Arnie does post-modernism. Say no more…
Anything else by Danny Boyle (with the possible exception of Millions, which I haven't seen)
Sunshine isn't his first endeavour to overplay the limits of his intellectual capacity. There also seems to be a pattern forming.
1: take fantastic concept (dead lodger is millionaire/whole world has turned into zombies)
2: extract tension (moral dilemma over money/zombies can run!)
3: self-destruct (flat turns into ridiculous bloodbath/British army is apparently more dangerous than zombie plague)
4: reap plaudits for being saviour of intellectual British cinema (scratch head in bewilderment and turn on any Shane Meadows film)

Student Ministry
Who We Are
Student CBS serves students in the community from kindergarten through college and into the work force. Students and leaders from a variety of backgrounds come together to share life and discuss the Bible while respecting each other's different opinions and experiences. Our goal is for everyone to feel comfortable exchanging ideas and questions so they learn from one another as they build a foundation of belief on God's Word and grow in relationship with Jesus Christ.
What We Do
Our purpose is to give students an opportunity to study God's Word on their own using written materials and then to share these insights with other people in small groups or core groups. All classes include the same essentials as any CBS class – independent Bible study at home, fellowship and food, large group time with worship and teaching, and small group discussion in core groups.
There are five different class types in Student CBS. The details of the class, including curriculum, music and the teaching, are appropriate for the specific age of the students. All classes meet during the school year.
- A.S.K. (After School Kids) classes are for elementary school children and meet for two 10-week semesters.
- eTeen classes are for early teenagers in middle school (grades 6-8) and meet for 20 weeks.
- Teen classes are for high school students (grades 9-12) and meet for 26 weeks.
- CAPstone classes are for college students and young professionals and meet for 26 weeks.
- SO (Student Outreach) is focused on going to where the students already are. It is available for students starting with pre-K and going all the way through high school and can take place in a community center, school or any place students are already gathered. Please click here for more information.
A typical class runs for two hours and includes the following elements:
- Snack/Dinner
- Large Group with worship and teaching
- Core Group discussion
Why We Do It
The student and early career years are a time of transition, a time of great physical, mental, emotional and spiritual change. Some of the most important decisions in life are made during these years. It is a time when beliefs are challenged or formed which will also affect the rest of life. Our hope is that young people's beliefs will be based on Biblical truth rather than on human reasoning. Our desire is that these years are not just a time of transition, but one of transformation through the Word of God.

On a sunny Saturday morning in the middle of June, it is somewhat unexpected to see a large crowd of children willingly gathered at the local library. But that is exactly what was happening at White Branch Library in Syracuse. Young children gathered on the floor with their parents to experience a unique interaction between live zoo animals and children's books. When live snakes were presented to the children after the reading portion, their eyes lit up and they bubbled with excitement.Animal ABCs, a year-long program of the Rosamond Gifford Zoo hosted at White Branch Library and the McChesney Community Center, is designed to capitalize on children's innate curiosity about animals and nature to generate excitement about reading. Each month features a fun animal theme and books are selected that highlight chosen creatures - from frogs to lizards to birds. A broad range of activities keep the children engaged including 'read-alouds,' crafts, animal artifacts and, whenever possible, a visit from a live animal.The program is one of numerous beneficiaries of the Literacy Champion grants the Community Foundation provided to enhance the Imagination Library program on Syracuse's Northside.Imagination Library strives to build skills in young children for kindergarten readiness by delivering a new, age-appropriate book directly to each child's home once a month from birth to age five. The program is designed to establish a culture of literacy among its participants by increasing the frequency that parents read to their children and generating excitement about reading at home.The Literacy Coalition of Onondaga County implemented Imagination Library within the Syracuse Northside Literacy Zone. New York State designated these zones, of which Syracuse has three, as areas where individuals hold limited literacy or English language proficiency. Response to the literacy programming has been tremendous. Having now completed its first year since launching in Syracuse, Imagination Library has more than 1,000 children enrolled and has distributed more than 9,500 books. Each month, Animal ABCs brings in so much interest that the rooms are often filled to capacity. By sparking the imaginations of young children, these programs are igniting a life-long love of reading among all involved.

Hi Pinkfresh friends and fans! I have three cards to share with you today that highlight the gorgeous and versatile set, Leafy backdrop, using a new medium for a vibrant look!
I started by stamping several of the images from Leafy backdrop on black cardstock using white pigment ink and then on watercolor paper with a light dye ink for no-line coloring. At first, I thought color pencils would look amazing on black cardstock, but they require a lot of time. Recently, I bought some acryla gouache and decided to test them out. I used a small brush that is recommended for use with gouache or acrylics. Acryla gouache are essentially acrylic paints that have high opacity and dry with a matte finish. The images in leafy backdrop were great for this experiment. I found it quite relaxing coloring over the images with the paints. For this medium, I did not do any extra detail work. I liked how they came out with the gorgeous pastels.
For the watercolor card, I decided I wanted to continue using acryla gouache and regular gouache (in gold, magenta and blue). I glued both panels to white card bases. Then, I used the "thanks" stamp from Word series: Thanks with the coordinating die twice and "colored" them with gouache. I love that they came out slightly imperfect, giving them a rather handmade and artistic feel to it. I used colors that would coordinate with the backgrounds. I mounted them on each with foam tape.
For the last card, I ended up creating freestyle leaf pattern on heavyweight white cardstock in pastels. The cardstock did not warp from the paints and I love how they turned out. I die-cut "love" from Love with botanicals die set from the same piece and mounted it over a sheet of gold glitter cardstock with foam tape. I finished it off with a heat-embossed sentiment from Bird with flowers.
There are endless ways to use Leafy backdrop. I hope you'll be inspired to try something new as well. Be sure to tag us on social media when you do! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Barclays Great Escape Packages
Barclays Great Escape packages previously only available to the residential market are now to be ...
Barclays Great Escape packages previously only available to the residential market are now to be rolled out to buy-to-let landlords.
Effective from the 18 November it will allow landlords to switch to a better rate free of charge with no application fee. It also offers free legal work and valuation and £400 cashback to cover the cost of their existing lender's exit fee. The package offers two-year fixed rate deals at 3.65% 60% Loan To Value (LTV) and 4.15% to 75% LTV.
Andrew Montlake director of Coreco Group welcomed Barclays' decision to extend the deal to the buy-to-let market. "It is positive for the market that more lenders are now starting to look to buy-to-let, offering incentives such as free legal work and valuations which were previously only seen in the residential market. Having more choice in this arena will benefit everyone."
The switch and save £200 cashback will now also be available to landlords. Andy Gray, managing director of mortgages for Barclays, said: "Our new Buy-To-Let 'Great Escape' deals are aimed at landlords who might worry it would cost them too much to move to better rates elsewhere."
The loans are offered with no application fee, free legals and valuations with £400 cashback to cover the cost of the exit fee for leaving their current lender. Last month the buy-to-let Mortgage Costs Index from Mortgages for Business reported that competition in the market was forcing buy-to-let lenders to cut charges and fees.

One of the greatest features of Linux is the command line. Sadly, it has been somewhat neglected as of late. The purpose of this "Blog Entry" is to point out some command line features and possibilities that are not often taken advantage of.
The explanations provided are intended for an Ubuntu user using BASH as a shell, but could easily be modified for others. Some of the things mentioned in this entry are well known while other are not. The well known ones are here in case someone doesn't know.
Color Arguments
Several programs produce color output when given certain arguments. To make this default, add the following to ~/.bashrc.
#Add to .bashrc alias ls="ls --color=auto" alias grep="grep --color=auto" alias less="less -R"
Color Versions
Using the programs colormake colorgcc and colordiff instead of their non-color equivalent can be pleasant. Install the color versions and alias them.
#Run to install sudo apt-get install colormake colorgcc colordiff
#Add to ~/.bashrc alias make="colormake" alias diff="colordiff" alias gcc="colorgcc"
The PS1 variable is printed as the prompt in bash. It can contain escape sequences and commands. One suggestion would be mine:
#Add to the end of ~/.bashrc PS1="\[33[0;34m\]$(date +"%H:%M")\[33[0;32m\]\w\[33[0;31m\]\$ \[33[00m\]"
Which results in:
Some other suggestions and resources for PS1 variable can be found at the CLUG wiki.
Individuals may also be interested in adding colorful man pages by adding the following:
#Add to ~/.bashrc #note that the variables could easily be other #escape sequences. # For colourful man pages (CLUG-Wiki style) export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m' export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;31m' export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;44;33m' export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;32m'
Escape Codes in Raw Text Files
One Idea (that I haven't seen anywhere else yet… UPDATE: I found another site with this…) is to put escape codes in files like /etc/motd or /etc/issue.
The following is my /etc/motd.tail (which forms /etc/motd on startup on Ubuntu systems). It is based on the normal Ubuntu one.
The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in [32m/usr/share/doc/*/copyright[39;49m. Ubuntu comes with [33mABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY[39;49m, to the extent permitted by applicable law. To access official Ubuntu documentation, please visit [32mhttp://help.ubuntu.com/[39;49m
It renders as:
The programs included with the Ubuntu system are free software;
the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the
individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.
Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
To access official Ubuntu documentation, please visit
One could do the same with /etc/issue which is printed right before login starts.
One interesting thing to do is use lesspipe. There is a detailed entry about this on another blog.
It is also interesting to change the text printed out by the init functions. More information on this can be found on Ubuntu Forums.
Readers may also wish to look into framebuffers, which allow the displaying of pictures ( and pdfs, etc… once installed see fbi and links2 -g) and smaller fonts in the ttys. A good tutorial can be found on Ubuntu Forums.
I would advise readers to install gpm (general purpose mouse) which allows the use of a mouse in a tty.
It is also worth making sure that the readers are aware that vim, emacs and nano can all do syntax highlighting.

Remember back to your high school days when you had to write that pesky research paper? Or maybe you're still in high school and you have a history assignment due. It can be a long process combing through dozens of books to find useful information; and in today's age of widespread digital information, it can be even trickier finding credible sources. You probably recall the distinction between primary and secondary source materials, yes? As a refresher, primary sources are any sort of information gathered at the time in question, for example: a diary recalling a day's activities, a log of monthly temperatures, or a city directory listing residents' mailing addresses. The information contained in these sources were all produced during the time of study. That's not to say these can't contain errors- the diary writer could have miswritten or misremembered a detail, the thermometer could have been improperly calibrated, and the directory could contain a typo. That said, the general rule is, the closer the recording is to the time in question, the more accurate the recording is likely to be.
Secondary sources are of a different nature; they are recorded after-the-fact and often include analysis, commentary and interpretation, for example: a 21st century scholar's history of Roman England. Some secondary sources can be thoroughly researched and extremely reliable, whereas others might be intentionally biased- say a Nazi sympathizer misrepresenting fact to persuade his/her reader.
So how is anyone to avoid pitfalls when conducting historical research? This is where your local library, historical society, or research center comes into play. These facilities have trained professionals to guide you in your search and point to additional resources. We've seen a lot of wrong or incomplete information in our day, take a look at these sources, just to name a few:
Photographs are often considered excellent primary source materials- they are literally "snapshots of life" as recorded at the time. But don't get too comfortable taking them at face value. For instance:
Here's a photo of a man sitting atop 6 gigantic potatoes- are we to believe crops grew that much better at the time this image was shot? Of course not! Take a closer look and you'll notice the tiny white cut lines bordering the man and the potatoes. This image is actually a composite of multiple images produced by a crafty trickster- call it the earliest version of photoshop!
In a less comical example of misleading information, take David Boyd's A History: Greeley and the Union Colony of Colorado. This book, written in 1890, offers great insight on early life in this region; however, because Mr. Boyd could not be everywhere at once, and because he was writing decades after some events occurred, mistakes are almost inevitable. For example, Boyd states Nathan Meeker, the founder of Greeley, was born in 1814. A minor mistake, yes, but as misinformation is passed down over the years, the trickier it can be to uncover the truth.
Care for another example? Here is an image of Nathan Meeker's tombstone:
One would think that a tombstone accurately reflects the birth and death dates of the deceased, but again, one can be fooled!
Nathan Meeker was killed at the White River Agency on September 29, 1879. His body was transported back to Greeley a year later, arriving on September 30, 1880, at which time he was buried in Linn Grove Cemetery in a lot donated by the community, but with no tombstone. In October of 1881, a solicitation for donations for a monument to Meeker in Lincoln Park was printed in the Tribune; however, the town failed to raise the specified amount and the matter was forgotten. Becoming so disheartened by her husband's unmarked grave, Arvilla Meeker finally commissioned a monument on her own accord in 1890 costing her $525. So a tombstone was erected over 11 years after Meeker's death, then a new stone (copying the original inscription) replaced it decades later as the old stone began to disintegrate. But surely when commissioning the original marker Nathan's own wife would get the year of his birth correctly. Or would she?
At the time of Nathan and Arvilla's marriage, it was fairly uncommon for a woman to marry a younger man. Even though she was only a little over two years older than Nathan, Arvilla did not wish to publicize this information. It's not unlikely that she intentionally marked Nathan's tombstone with an incorrect birth year of 1814 rather than 1817, so as to avoid public speculation. What's more, many newspaper obituaries from the years following Nathan's death also misstate his birth year, using bad information as it was passed from one source to another.
So how can we ever know what is accurate? The key is to look to as many primary sources as possible to confirm a fact. We turned to official census records, diary entries, and correspondence to verify that Nathan Meeker was in fact born in 1817. The take away here is, the more primary source information you can dig up, the better picture you'll gain.
We at the Greeley History Museum love history and researching. If you've ever offered to donate something to the museum, you'll know that we ask a lot of questions about the ownership and life-history of the object so that we can avoid making assumptions. These details, along with our own research, help to put the object into context and make it come to life. Similarly, staff at the Museum's Hazel E. Johnson Research Center is dedicated to helping you in your research needs, providing you access to the City's wealth of primary and secondary resources. Come on by and let's wade though the immense, and sometimes baffling, historical record together!
The Hazel E. Johnson Research Center is open Wednesdays-Saturdays, 10am-4pm. Click here for more information.

Commercial crude oil stocks decreased by 4 million barrels, or 0.8%, to 466.6 million barrels for the week ending May 3, the EIA data showed. The market expectation was an increase of 1.2 million barrels. Stocks jumped by 9.9 million barrels during the previous week.
Strategic petroleum reserves, which are not included in the commercial crude stocks, fell by 0.9 million barrels to 647.7 million barrels last week, according to the data.
Gasoline inventories decreased by 0.6 million barrels, or 0.3%, to 226.1 million barrels during that period, coming almost in line with the market expectation of a decline of 0.4 million barrels. During the previous week, gasoline inventories saw a increase of 0.9 million barrels.
- Crude production falls
The U.S.' crude oil production decreased by 101,000 barrels per day (bpd) to around 12.2 million bpd (mbpd) for the week ending May 3, the EIA data showed.
Last week, a 1,000 bpd decline in crude production was seen in the state of Alaska, while other U.S. states excluding Hawaii posted an output fall of 100,000 bpd.
This marked the 18th time that U.S. crude production showed a decrease over the past 70 weeks.
Production is expected to average 12.45 mbpd in 2019 and 13.4 mbpd in 2020, according to the EIA's Short Term Energy Outlook report for May.

COUR Pharma
COUR Pharmaceuticals uses an integrated materials science and immunology platform to engineer nanoparticles for the treatment of various autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. COUR is trying to develop the first clinical "tolerance inducing" therapy.
Immune modifying nanoparticles (IMP) for the treatment of inflammatory diseases-These are nanoparticles that bind to the promiscuous MARCO scavenger receptor on the monocyte surface. This binding interaction triggers the apoptosis of these inflammation causing monocytes and also promotes their sequestration back into the spleen and away from inflammation sites.
Tolerating immune modifying nanoparticles (TIMPs) for the treatment of autoimmune diseases-These particles work on a similar premise to the IMPs, inducing MARCO mediated macrophage apoptosis and sequestration to the spleen. However, rather than being empty, the TIMPs are loaded with self-reactive antigen. The antigen is conjugated to a polymer for controlled loading and release. Antigen presenting cells (APCs) can pick up TIMPs and apoptotic debris from macrophages. Once the APCs have processed and are presenting the appropriate antigen, they can selectively interact with auto-reactive T cells to initiate a cascade of events that will lead to the deletion or anergy of these T cell populations, ultimately inducing immune tolerance of the self-antigen. For example, in celiac disease, immune tolerance can be induced by loading TIMPs with glidans, which are a glucose fragment that initiate autoimmune responses. There are currently no clinical "tolerance inducing" therapies. Some of the diseases that TIMPs are being developed for have no FDA approved treatment.

Lady Mary winds up on city walls
BRISBANE artist, Nigel Zschech, has returned to the Heritage City to complete his fourth Maryborough Mural Project mural on the Telstra building facing Queens Park.
The air-brush teacher said it had been amazing to paint Maryborough's history.
The Our World mural symbolizes the link between Lady Mary Fitzroy and the naming of our River and City.
The Mary River was originally called Mooraboocoola by the region's first people.
First Settlers called it the Wide Bay River.
In September 1847 Governor Charles Fitzroy formally named the river in honour of his wife, Lady Mary Fitzroy who was killed in a carriage accident at Parramatta in December 1847.
Saddened and upset at her death, he also directed that the name of our original Wide Bay Village be changed to Maryborough.
"We love this modern design. Artist Nigel Zschech, who painted the Rotary Mural in Adelaide Street, Comet Man Mural, and the Brewer Mural also painted this mural," MMP co-founder Deb Hannam said.
"This is one of our largest murals and it required considerable skill to make sure the image could be viewed from a number of different angles both in the park and on the river - there were a few obstacles, like lights and electrical lines."
Nigel said the project committee gave him a rough idea of what they wanted.
"I did a design using the computer - manipulated a whole heap of photos together - blended them all together and knowing what I can do with an airbrush - this is how I created the design," he said.
"Painting this history has brought up stuff I never knew - and I will be happy to come again if MMP want me."
The MMP is exceedingly grateful to Telstra for allowing us to paint the image on its wall."
"This is the first mural where the artist commission has been paid for by the Maryborough Mural Project Charity," Elizabeth Lowrie another co-founder of the charity said.
"MMP are financing the mural from the small amount of funds we raised at the Peace Cake Ball.
"Our cash donations are primarily used to pay artist commissions - the community can assist us to paint more murals by making cash donations to the Charity through the Bank of Qld Maryborough. BSB 124080 ACC 124080 Account name is The Maryborough Mural Project.
"Our charity is committed to revitalizing the Maryborough CBD through art. It has already completed 16 Murals in Maryborough's CBD and is on track to complete its 20 plus by early next year.
"We have received overwhelming support from Earls Paints and Handy Hire who have provided paint and safety equipment gratis for most of our murals, we are exceedingly grateful for their significant contribution to our Project.
"We hope the Maryborough community will return their generosity by good patronage to these shops."
