Lumbee Homecoming celebrates 50th year
By James Locklear, Correspondent
Jul 7, 2018 at 9:50 PM Jul 7, 2018 at 10:00 PM
More than 20,000 greet the parade on Saturday morning
PEMBROKE – A crowd of more than 20,000 gathered for the annual Lumbee Homecoming parade in Pembroke on Saturday morning. It was the 50th anniversary of the week-long celebration of cultural pride that has evolved into the largest Native American gathering in the Southeast.
Jessie and Kim Oxendine were also celebrating an anniversary – their 12th wedding anniversary. The Oxendines were among dozens of parade-goers riding golf carts.
"This is our first time riding in the parade," Kim Oxendine said. "This is just a joyous time giving all praise to the Lord."
Organizers say this year's parade was the largest ever, with more than 300 entries. It's a far cry from the days of parade participants riding through town with old farm trucks pulling homemade trailers with hand-painted signs.
In the era of laser graphics and high-tech vehicles, this year's parade featured dozens of muscle cars and a few monster trucks with custom paint jobs.
Bradley and Mary Beth Locklear came from Scotland County with their children, Avery and "West." The Locklears relaxed in lawn chairs eating hot dogs and ribbon fries as they watched the parade and talked with old friends. It brought back childhood memories for Mary Beth Locklear, who has been coming to the parades for more than 30 years.
Her grandparents lived about a mile from the parade's starting point on Prospect Road at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke.
"I have a lot of childhood memories," she said. "Now, we're out here making memories with our own children. I absolutely love Lumbee Homecoming."
Dozens of food and crafts vendors lined both sides of Prospect Road at the Pembroke town limits. Sirens on fire trucks blared as a group of women motorcyclists revved the engines of their Harley-Davidsons.
Floats and convertibles carrying beauty queens were scattered throughout the parade, as were several local business and organizations advertising their programs and services.
Proud young parents pushed toddlers in strollers as several seniors drove golf carts. An early morning shower sprinkled the crowd briefly as the parade concluded, but by the time the rain set in the parade had ended.
Retired Army Command Sgt. Major Earl Rice came from Red Springs with his children and nieces and nephews. Rice said Lumbee Homecoming is one of his favorite times of the year.
"It's a most exciting time," Rice said. "Seeing all the people coming together this week is great. It's a chance to fellowship, and family can come together. Family is important among our people and we enjoy sharing our culture with others."
Dr. Cheryl Ransom Locklear can hardly believe it's been 50 years since the first Lumbee Homecoming. She was the first Miss Lumbee and has watched the event evolve from a beauty pageant to the largest celebration among Southeast Native American tribes.
"This helped us define our Indian identity," said Dr. Locklear, a pioneer dentist among the Lumbees. "We looked to ourselves to define who we are. This is a celebration of culture and history that unifies the Lumbee people."
Beauty pageant origins
Lumbee Homecoming officially started in 1968, the year after Dr. Locklear was crowned the first Miss Lumbee. It has grown since that initial beauty pageant by the old North Carolina Indian Culture center pool in September 1967, with the late R&B music legend Percy Sledge serving as a judge at the first pageant.
Now, there are four other pageants ranging from seniors to the Little Miss Lumbee Pageant. And, the week-long celebration now features an outdoor gospel music concert, food and crafts vendors, athletic events, a car show and dozens of other events.
James Hardin is the director of the Lumbee Regional Development Association, the organization that hosts the event every year. He said the celebration continues to grow.
He said outside organizations like the Lumbee Tribe, UNC-Pembroke and others have added programs and events to coincide with Lumbee Homecoming.
"We're extremely pleased with the level of participation," Hardin said. "It keeps getting bigger and bigger."
Oneida Cummings came to the Lumbee Homecoming car show driving her silver 1971 Chevrolet El Camino. The powerful 454-cubic-inch, 500-horsepower big block turned heads as she headed into town. This is one celebration she was not going to miss.
"We love it," Cummings said. "It's an honor to be here at the 50th anniversary of the Lumbee Homecoming."

Bluetooth speakers are the perfect choice for outdoor use. We present the best options so you can enjoy your favorite outdoor music in spring and summer.
The JBL Charge 4 combines great sound with high flexibility.
When it comes to Bluetooth speakers with good sound, then a name has been playing in the First League for years. We are talking about JBL, whose current batch 4 again shows how compact dimensions, wireless music enjoyment and a robust design can be combined.
The JBL Charge 4 is splash-proof according to the IPX7 standard and should even survive a brief immersion. The manufacturer also promises a playback time of up to 20 hours with a charge at medium volume. It is also great that there are the Bluetooth speakers in countless color variations.
The UE Wonderboom does not sound as cute as it looks.
Ultimate Ears is one of the big names when it comes to making speakers compact, portable and flexible. The Wonderboom is a very small speaker, but sounds much larger than it initially seems. Also the bass reproduction is more than amazing considering the compact design.
The UE Wonderboom is waterproof and should last for up to ten hours according to the manufacturer with one battery charge. Another special feature is that the small speaker can connect to up to two devices at the same time.
The SRS-XB41 is the current top model from Sony.
Sony also plays in the top league of Bluetooth speakers with its XB40 series. The current SRS-XB41 is aimed at all those who value an extra portion of bass. Among the compact and wireless speakers, there is hardly a device that can hold the XB41 low in the water range.
Another special feature is the optionally switchable lighting that adapts to the music and makes the speaker an eye-catcher at any party. The battery life is Sony with a maximum of 24 hours. But then without extra bass and without the lighting. If both are activated, the SRS-XB41 should still last a maximum of 14 hours.
The Ultimate Ears Boom 3 is very durable.
Ultimate Ears can also be bigger: With the cylindrical boom 3, the manufacturer offers a 360-degree speaker with a surprisingly strong sound. The mobile speaker stands out from the competition above all because of its enormous durability. So he should be able to withstand falls from table height, according to the manufacturer.
If you are traveling with the UE Boom 3, you can enjoy up to 15 hours of music – thanks to IP67 certification, even if it gets a little wet. Convenient: The Ultimate Ears app can be paired multiple speakers, so as to sound a larger party too.
The anchor Soundcore Flare + comes with integrated party lighting.
Anker has also held a number of shares for a long time when it comes to mobile soundgenus. With the compact loudspeaker Soundcare Flare +, the manufacturer relies on a 360-degree design and leaves nothing to be desired.
Rich basses! Lighting effects to match the music! IP67 water protection! – all basics are served by the Soundcore Flare +. In addition, the manufacturer offers the possibility to pair two of the speakers for a wireless stereo mode.
The Bose Soundlink Revolve offers a very discreet design.
Compared to the competition, the Bose Soundlink Revolve looks much more subtle and stylish. The optionally available in black or white metal cylinder exudes an almost cool grandeur, as expected from the brand. Nevertheless, the surprisingly small speaker should not be underestimated.
Sonically Bose plays in the first league and visually anyway. But the Bluetooth speaker has all the other tricks on it, which are elementary for a Bluetooth speaker. It withstands falls, is protected against splashing water and lasts up to twelve hours on battery power. The Soundlink Revolve is therefore fully suitable for outdoor use.
The LG PK5 is a small party box.
The LG PK5 is visually pretty much the opposite of the Bose Soundlink. This speaker does not want to look discreet, but looks like a party. The design with the two massive handles is quite practical, but it serves for transport.
In terms of sound, LG relies on rich bass for an altogether quite balanced tuning, which was carried out in collaboration with the sound experts from Meridian. Similar to the Sony XB41, the PK5 has the right party lighting on board, and the small speaker is also protected against splashing water. By the way, according to the manufacturer, battery life is up to 15 hours in play.


With over 7,000 islands, the Philippines is said to be the "Center of the Center" of marine fish biodiversity with the highest density of species per unit area. I took all of these photos over the past two years from my dive trips around my home country, the Philippines.
I dive most frequently in Anilao, Batangas because it's just a 3-hour drive from home. With around 50 dive sites, I never get bored going back again and again. It's known for rare macro subjects from hairy shrimps to larger hairy frogfish, there's always something to see. While I don't frequently dive with my wide angle lens here, there are also beautiful reefs with colorful corals and an abundance of reef fish.
Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park is in the middle of the Sulu Sea. It has 10,000 hectares of healthy coral reefs and amazing visibility. Mantas, whale sharks, hammerheads and so much more in just one trip. It's only accessible by liveaboard from March to early June. If I could visit every year, I would!
Dauin in Dumaguete is our muck diving heaven. The entire shoreline is practically muck site after muck site. My favorite moment was seeing some harlequin shrimp feeding. I heard that during Octopus season one can easily see 8 different species in one dive, so I must go back to verify this claim! From Dauin, it's an easy trip by bangka to Apo Island for wide-angle opportunities with schooling jacks and turtles on every dive.
There are many beautiful places to dive around the world, but I feel blessed to have such easy access to so much underwater life. Call me biased, but there is just no place like home.

An ordinary porcelain anemone crab lit differently with a pink light.
Saw this harlequin shrimp feeding on a starfish under a rock in Dauin.
Almost missed this scene because I was facing the reef instead of the blue. Whaleshark and jacks at Tubbataha.
Hairy striated frogfish always have bad hair days. This was the third hairy frogfish I saw in one day in Anilao.
Very large sea fans and my dive buddy at Tubbataha.
During a night dive at Anilao Pier, this octopus living out of a beer bottle was wrestling with a snail. The octopus eventually won its dinner retreated into its home.
Anilao is known for all sorts of nudibranchs. Here's a white "Pikachu" (I'm still on the hunt for a yellow one).
Less than an hour by bangka from Dauin, Apo Island didn't disappoint with large schools of jacks on every dive.
Found this pygmy squid at Anilao during a safety stop. I put my torch behind it and shot this with just torch lighting to bring out the translucence.
Parked myself in front of this yellow goby and waited for it to yawn. It was living in a beer bottle with its partner. Shot in Anilao.
Shot this crinoid shrimp against the pattern of its host crinoid in Anilao. This isn't the usual black-background shot, but I like the striped pattern in the different angles.
What my dreams are made of a green turtle, staghorn coral as far as the eye can see, and fantastic visibility in Tubbtaha.
Late afternoon reef view of corals and tiny reef fish at Tubbataha.
There are many skeleton shrimps in the muck sites of Anilao. You can actually see through its head to see the other eye!
This hairy shrimp was smaller than a grain of rice. After getting some shots, I experimented with both back and front lighting to see the details more clearly.

Families exploring housing options and support for adults with developmental disabilities may schedule speakers and consultants for a year's worth of meetings before they discover all the opportunities available in their communities. Options do vary considerably from state to state, and county to county. Some cities and even small towns have creative solutions for the challenges individuals and families face as young people mature into their adult lives.
Some of the most innovative ideas have developed from the unique situations of families in advocacy groups, or individual families who put together flexible plans that can be tuned to the specific interests and needs of an individual whose preferences change over time. Some are fortunate enough to privately pay for an apartment, condo, ADU or house and live-in or part-time caregiver support, but many make use of federal programs like Section 8 rent subsidy vouchers, home-buying grants and down payment assistance, SSI income and individual provider caregiver hours. Some states offer down payment assistance to low-income families of children with disabilities who wish to purchase their own homes.
Advocacy and support groups, private businesses and non-profit agencies may all be helpful resources in planning successful transition to supported living in the community. The real experts in the field are individuals with disabilities who have had experience living away from the family home; hiring and managing caregivers; dealing with agencies; and advocating within their own families.
Teens and adults with developmental disabilities should never have been warehoused in nursing homes or institutions. The introduction of group homes and independent supported living options decades ago demonstrated the successful reintegration of institutionalized adults into local communities. Individuals and families now have the expectation of remaining included in the neighborhoods where they have grown up, been educated, and probably have already held jobs.
Adults with developmental disabilities have significant challenges if they relocate due to waitlists for services often as the result of the lack of medicaid portability from state to state. If an adult with developmental disabilities moves out of state, they may not find similar services, and if they do they may not be eligible for programs because there are years long waiting lists. If they move back to their original communities, support they expected may not be available for the same reason.
Parents and siblings may move across the country due to retirement, caregiving responsibilities for their own parents, job changes or transfers, or military service. They may choose to relinquish caregiving responsibilities well before or after retirement; because of health issues; or to preserve what is the natural order in their culture or family by launching teens or young adults between the ages of 18 to 21.
Individuals with developmental disabilities often wish to move into their own homes away from their families for the same variety of reasons as their mainstream peers, whether their parents are ready for them to make that choice or not. Interviewing and hiring paid caregivers for individuals with healthcare, self-management or physical challenges and putting together a plan and schedule of caregiving coverage is a big part of building almost all supported housing options.
Families and individuals with disabilities planning the transition from the family home may have different priorities and preferences in paid caregivers. Parents new to the process may at first consider patience and a similar faith background to be attributes most important in paid staff, where individuals with disabilities and more experienced parents often rate training, compassion and experience more highly.
While most families rate a background check and references highly when hiring companions and caregivers, in housing models where other roommates' families provide care coverage or supervision to fill in gaps in the schedules of paid staff it is important to remember that being a family member does not mean there has been no history of abuse or neglect. Over time, personality clashes may develop between individuals and caregivers or roommates that make home situations feel intolerable, no matter how good a match on paper or in the past. Flexibility should be an expectation in paid staff rather than in the individual with a disability who employs them.
Hired caregivers are not expected to provide care twenty four hours a day seven days a week and do schedule in breaks and meals. They take days off and go on vacations, miss work due to changes in mental and physical health as well as family responsibilities or happy events like marriage or childbirth. Low wages and high stress also add to lead to absences and very frequently to staff turnover. Even for individuals who enjoy meeting new people, staff turnover can be difficult.
Most individuals with disabilities and parents hope to rely on as few different people as possible for help with self-care. There may be inadequate financial support for employment of staff for supervision when direct caregiving is funded and hours for supervision and safety are not. Most funding does not account for sick days when 24 hour support is necessary, or when the individual with a disability is home for other reasons instead of being away from home at work.
In one housing model where families 'share' caregiver hours, the expectation that each person in the household work four hours a day can leave a natural block of time when a caregiver is not needed. In the past, the housing agreement was structured so the individuals with disabilities could not be in their own homes during those hours. While this might seem efficient on the face of it, there are few individuals in the general community who would accept such terms in a home of their own. It is important to remember that this type of supported living arrangement was an alternative to institutional living and quite innovative at the time it was established.

Since the beginning of 2014, at least 3000 people have died in the Mediterranean sea, and this figure only counts the corpses found. It's four times more than in 2013, six times more than in 2012, and double the figure of 2011 – year of the "Arab springs". Since 1988, the total number of people that have perished is estimated to exceed 21 000. The people who risk their lives to cross the sea are refugees or asylum seekers fleeing persecution in their country of origin and the first transit countries are Greece, Spain and Italy.
Over the last few years, Europe has essentially externalised European migration policies to the southern EU Member States with borders on the Mediterranean, rather than combating the causes of human trafficking.
With the human tragedy continuing in the Mediterranean, the EU must urgently revise its migration policy. Following the shipwreck of October 2013 off the Coast of Lampedusa Island, Italy temporarily set up the Mare Nostrum military operation to prevent other tragedies from happening. At the same time, the European border control agency Frontex patrols in the same waters, monitoring, detecting and intercepting boats. Frontex is not supposed to carry out rescue missions, which are the business of the national authorities. The lack of appropriate action by the Member States is now such that private initiatives have been emerging, such as the Migrant Offshore Aid Station, funded by philanthropists.
Behind these tragedies hides the implementation of current European migration policies, which have transformed access to EU territory into a dangerous gamble in which criminal organisations take advantage of migrants' misery. Some of these organisations set themselves up as detention centres in order to benefit from the generous subsidies offered by the EU, and over-declare the number of people in their care, as well providing very poor living conditions. And while the authorities turn a blind eye, other organisations take advantage of this servile workforce, making them work in poor conditions with a few euros as a daily salary. With the migrants kept in deliberately poor conditions as a deterrent, tensions and revolts are commonplace.
After having tried every security measure possible against unlawful immigration and while this has enabled criminal organisations to prosper, the EU must face the fact that its migration policy has failed and must be reformed. The more barriers the EU places against unlawful migration, the higher the risk to migrants and the greater the likelihood of loss of life.
For these reasons, MEPs from several different political groups have invited to the Parliament Mr Alexandre Georges, who lived in Lampedusa and witnessed the first arrivals of migrants. He travelled for three years in a kayak on the tracks of migrants from Tunisia to Brussels, passing by Lampedusa Island, in order to bring a powerful message to the European institutions.

Q: Running ffmpeg from a windows service on same machine encounters permissions issue I had been running a Windows Service, form my machine (which has full read/write access to a network drive).
The command for ffmpeg was something like this:
-i \filestore\test.avi -b 500000 -s 640x360 -ar 22050 -copyts -y -vcodec libx264 -acodec ac3 -y \filestore\mp4\test.mp4
Running it from cmd works perfectly. Running it from a windows service, from the same machine, would yield a File Not found type error. Updating to the latest ffmpeg stable changed that to "Permission denied".
I am running the service it as 'Local Account'. I was intending to run this on another server, so I need to get a grip on this!
Does running a service on your machine run as a different user to you when you choose 'Local Account'?

A: Assuming that ffmpeg running from Windows Service needs to access files on a network server, you need to be sure that the service user account has sufficient network permissions.
If both computers are in the same Windows domain, then you can run the services under a domain account and add permissions to access the network share from this account.
Alternatively, you can allow Everyone to access the network share and edit Local Security Policy to enable Network Access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users.

Barb Henrickson: Mormon culture is very self-reliant, so when she implied that you were a welfare cheat, that's where she would have been coming from. Still, how did that make you feel?
Barb Henrickson: How not good?
Barb Henrickson: Good, Dolores. And did she have a right to say that?
Barb Henrickson: No, of course she didn't. And what would you want to say back to her?

Ms. En Scene: In Praise Of Saranya Ponvannan, The Mother That I Never Had
BY Ranjani Krishnakumar On August 13, 2018
TwitterFacebookRedditEmailWhatsapp
Actor Dhanush and Actress Saranya Ponvannan in Velaiyilla Pattathari Movie Stills
Ms. En Scene – where Ranjani Krishnakumar concedes that cinema is life. Opinions expressed are those of the contributor, and not those of the company or its employees.
Editor's Note: Saranya Ponvannan, who made her debut opposite Kamal Haasan in Nayagan (1987), played mother on screen for the first time in 2003 – when she was all but 33 years of age.
My love for Saranya Ponvannan began in a very Tamil Padam sort of way. I truly took notice of her only when she waved her velakkamaaru (broom stick) and brought it down with inimitable vigour on the transgressing Dhanush in Velai Illa Pattadhaari (2014). In the film, she plays Dhanush's tough-loving mother — the scene with the broomstick is hardly the only time she hits him.
Since then, I've been firmly on #TeamSaranya. Saranya, today, is what is politely called in Tamil cinema as a 'character artiste'. This most often means that she plays less important roles — ones that remain in the shadows when compared to those of the 'hero', 'heroine' and the 'villain'. Yet, whenever I watched a film of hers, even if she plays an inconsequential role, she stood out for me, like a beautiful ray of sunshine slicing through the shadows.
I want to wax eloquent about the heart-wrenching mother she plays in films like Raam (2005) and Thenmerku Paruvakaattru (2010), where she is central to the film. But my admiration for Saranya is not limited to these roles. I don't love her because she is an extraordinary actress — which she undoubtedly is — but because in every film, she brings to life a mother who is truly relatable, with warts and all.
Mothers in the Tamil film universe have always been a strange lot — often elevated to an ideal that is impossible to achieve. From the Tamil thaai of Manohara (1954), the sacrificial goddesses of Mannan (1992) and Thoongaathey Thambi Thoongaathey (1983) to even the cool mom of M Kumaran, Son of Mahalakshmi (2004), mothers in films are often placards for how a mother should be. This isn't untrue of today, either. Take Radhika's role as a mother in Poojai (2014), for instance — upright, highly respected, spoken to from a distance.
Velaiyilla Pattathari (2014), in which Saranya Ponvannan brings down a velakkamaaru (broomstick) on the transgressing Dhanush.
Saranya though, breathes some reality into a mother's role, without diluting respect or admiration, and hardly ever inducing fear in her children. And in whatever little space she is given, she makes herself indispensable.
Take the utterly forgettable film Oru Kal Oru Kannadi (2012), for instance. In the film, she's mother of the hero — played by Udayanidhi — a misogynist stalker, who appears to take more from his father than his mother.
Yet, Saranya's role is central to his being palatable as a lover. His blatant hatred of women — pretending to vomit at the sight of one he thinks 'ugly', awful language and soup song — is counter-balanced by his relationship with his mother, which is one of love, respect and mutual support. With most other 'character artistes', this character might be long forgotten. But Saranya makes it her own within the few minutes of shared screen space she gets. Her inherent goodness, heartiness, innocence and capability for humour in spite of her abusive marriage makes us empathise with her, without the teary sympathy that's often left for mothers.
This shines through all her films. Think of Kodi (2016), for instance, where her life is wrought with conflict and sorrow. She plays the wife of a man who immolated himself for a cause. She is the mother of twins — one of whom she approves of and the other who she disapproves but has great motherly sympathy and loyalty for. She exhibits the grit of a single parent, with the endearing vulnerability and everyday humour of a mother who worries about her son. She tears down the posters of her son from the wall, just after which she feeds the same son special food.
In Magalir Mattum (2017), Saranya doesn't play mother, but has a drunk for a husband to whom she imparts life lessons. Here, she's walloping him with a guitar – for added emphasis.
The jury is still out on my favourite Saranya— ongoing is a heated debate between Saranya of Achamindri (2016) and Saranya of Magalir Mattum (2017). Co-incidentally, she is not a mother in either of these films. The caring school teacher slowly revealed as an evil, greedy and heartless capitalist in Achamindri was a role perfect for her. She plays it without the drama and physical transformation that often comes with such a change, yet she makes no effort to underplay or humanize that evil.
"Santhoshame soundaryam, soundaryame santhosham," she declares with the brought-on bubbliness of a TV anchor, as she's introduced in Magalir Mattum. In no time, we get past the studio and see her life as a childless, care-taking, unappreciated housewife of a drunk. Her stoic resignation to her situation, her dark humour and her nonchalant decision-making say more about the writing of her character than her. But Saranya's ability to switch between the joy of anticipation about meeting her friends and resentment of her present life is inimitable.
Take that scene where she's packing to see her friends in Agra. She is enjoying the happy nostalgia of her girlhood, just as her husband comes home. She tells him with a poker-face that she'll be travelling and sets him up to survive in her absence. When she's giving him instructions about his mother's medication, her friends call. She immediately lights up and smiles widely. She even playfully asks, "sothappida maattingale?" The very moment she is done with the call, her poker face returns, as if naturally.
She does this with such subtlety and understanding of her character, without the backing of any pomp and 'mass', that it's easy to miss if you weren't actively looking. She shows us, without telling us, how much joy women are capable of, even in the tiring suffocation of their situations.
It shouldn't come as a surprise that she has only been offered roles of being the hero's mother and hardly, if any, as the heroine's mother. The heroine herself is an afterthought, who is worrying about her mother, really? I hear that Saranya's next big release is no different.
I'm excitedly waiting for next week's Kolamavu Kokila, where Saranya is said to play, once again, the hero's mother.
Except, this time the hero happens to be female.
Unmistakable. Meticulous. Predominantly an essayist. Evolved from a marketer. Ranjani Krishnakumar eats Tamil films all day and fruits for breakfast. Roosts with pair in Chennai apartment. Usually found chasing Vitamin-D. Believes "Dei" or "Pch" is the answer to all questions.

In the context of Expo Milano 2015, we created an interactive infopoint that could be used by visitors to help them discovering the most important places of Milano City. Places were selected by the kind of users in front of the screen; a remote user recognition service is able to recognize gender and age range of users, which were then used to filter contents and to show pesonalized information. The contents exploration is supported by natural and intuitive navigation gestures, that improved the success of the application.
The App also allows users to navigate the city map in order to discover the most important places of the city and better understand history and culture of Milan.


Now, that LG has officially revealed their new flagship smartphone, LG G5, is time to head over at Samsung to see what's up. To those of you who didn't know, the event will be held today at 19:00 CET (10:00 AM PT). But it isn't a secret to anyone that the new Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge, which have had their fair share of "leaked" images on the web for the past couple of days, will be revealed. However, we're almost certain that the OEM has managed to keep some details around the devices a secret and will surprise us when the time comes.
Just like our coverage of the LG event, you can expect a live video stream of Samsung's conference, combined with tons of photos. So are you ready for the new Galaxy S models? How about a new pair of VR glasses? Why not a new mysterious tablet, smartphone or smartwatch? We can't wait until the event starts, so stay tuned and lets experience #TheNextGalaxy event together!


Some opportunities aren't obviously what you'd think of as copywriting. But, whether you're writing a funding bid, a tender return, a proposal, or an award submission, your task is the same. Sell, sell, sell.
It's not that easy though, is it? You're under pressure to tick every box and list every tiny detail, from stakeholders to corporate aims. You haven't got time to think about persuasive writing techniques, right?
But you're up against stiff competition. A bit of waffle to fill the word count won't help you. The person reading your copy has hundreds of documents to sift through.
Lots of businesses are good at saying what they do. But for a competitive document, that's not good enough. You need to dramatise the problem by asking "why".
The client has a unique challenge. But why is the situation so important? Why is your product the best way to solve it? Why should the client pay more for your service than for a freelancer they found on Gumtree?
Dramatising your document makes it memorable. Explain the challenge. Then present your product or service as the hero that swoops in to save the day.
Say you're filling out a tender for a brand redesign. Anyone can write a 1000 words about their expertise in modern colours and clean fonts. But if you can explain why those modern colours will work well, you dramatise the solution and make it more persuasive.
Examples aren't just for the case study section. Scatter stories throughout the copy. Real testimonials and illustrations bring your argument to life.
Can you remember the details of the last sales pitch you read? Thought not. But I bet you remember the red wedding in Game of Thrones? Or the twist at the end of Downton Abbey? Or how about the holiday armadillo in Friends?
The first time we meet Paul Botoman, he's already in the middle of a repair. He arrived early. Without pausing, he angles his head back and reveals kind eyes from under the brim of his bucket hat. His face doesn't change, and his hands keep moving. He just gives a silent head nod from afar.
By introducing a real person, they've instantly made us care more about their work. It's become a tangible project that we can relate to.
Pretend you're a charitable funder reviewing a round of applications. It's late in the day. Your afternoon coffee is wearing off. Your mind is drifting to tonight's dinner. Then you stumble across a mammoth of an application – full of long, indecipherable charity jargon. What are the chances it will get your full attention?
To have the best chance of success you need to captivate your reader. The best case in the world won't help you if it's buried in corporate drivel.
A persuasive argument is a great way to engage people. But there are lots of smaller changes you can make too, from using contractions, to cutting down your sentence length. Take a look through our other blog posts for quick fixes to help your reader.
A lot of your application is just a box-ticking exercise, so keep it simple and get those boxes ticked as early as possible.
Put the main point at the beginning of each paragraph. If people have to trawl through your writing to find the information they need, your copy isn't clear enough.
If there's room for it, always include an executive summary or short introduction. People need to understand what you're about quickly, otherwise they'll struggle to keep up with the rest of your copy while they try to figure it out.
Try using a proven writing structure like CIGAR to present your case.
Lots of tender returns read like an incomprehensible tenancy agreement. But why? There's no reason to use complicated words just because it's a formal process. Straightforward language isn't "wrong".
If you simplify things your reader will relate to it more. If your reader relates to it, you're more likely to be successful.
Accessibility is never a bad thing.
When you've finished your document I can almost guarantee that half of it is pointless. You can cut out way more than you'd think without losing any meaning. And it will be much better if it's more concise.
Remember that person you're trying to convince? They're much more likely to remember your copy if it's short and persuasive than if it's long and full of drivel.
Writing a decent application shouldn't be hard – you already know all the details about your organisation or project. The trick is to figure out the best way to present those details to someone else.
If you've got the goods, then you need to sell them. Don't let sloppy writing stand between you and success.
Remember that you're always writing to real people. They're not hugely different to you. And like you, whether they're funders, juries or clients, they're not immune from the influence of persuasive writing.
I'll leave you with a final bit of advice – don't waste any opportunity to be persuasive. Whether it's a friendly message introducing your contact details or a sentence explaining the benefits of your organisation's small size, make every word work harder.

Eburones
Eburones sentence example
Beyond these were found the Frisians, a people of German origin, who gave their name to the territory between the Rhine and the Ems. Of the other tribes the best known are the Caninefates, Chauci, Usipetes, Sicambri, Eburones, Menapii, Morini and Aduatici.
At Aduatuca (near Aixla-Chapelle) a newly-raised legion was cut to pieces by the Eburones under Ambiorix, while Quintus Cicero was besieged in the neighbourhood of Namur and only just relieved in time by Caesar, who was obliged to winter in Gaul in order to check the spread of the rebellion.
C. was marked by a second crossing of the Rhine and by the destruction of the Eburones, whose leader Ambiorix, however, escaped.
At the earliest historical period we find the territories between the Ardennes and the Rhine occupied by the Treviri, the Eburones and other Celtic tribes, who, however, were all more or less modified and influenced by their Teutonic neighbours.
According to Tacitus it was first applied to the Tungri, whereas Caesar records that four Belgic tribes, namely, the Condrusi, Eburones, Caeraesi and Paemani, were collectively known as Germani.

Hudson schools chief frets over potential cuts from sequester
Jeff Malachowski/Daily News staff
With Friday's deadline for Congress to come to an agreement to avoid automatic spending cuts creeping closer and closer, Superintendent Kevin Lyons is worried how the sequester could impact school budgets.
If Congress cannot break its deadlock Friday, the sequester will prompt $85 billion in federal spending cuts in the final seven months of the fiscal year that will have a trickle down impact on local agencies and departments, including school districts.
Lyons said school districts will see about a 6 percent decrease in federal aid if a solution cannot be found, which will hurt hurt districts that are currently facing budget deficits, such as Hudson.
"That's a big threat to school funding next year," said Lyons. "Hopefully Congress will do the right thing."
With the possibility of less federal aid, school systems like Hudson are relying on Gov. Deval Patrick's proposed increase in local aid. Hudson would see an increase of about $1 million, 60 percent of which would go to the School Department to help close the schools' $1.6 million budget gap.
"That's very, very important," said Lyons.
The Senate and House of Representatives have not approved Patrick's budget yet.
Lyons plans to close the gap by using the increased local aid and School Choice funding, as well as reducing expenses.
District officials have held back spending on non-essential materials in hopes of saving $500,000 that can be carried over to fiscal 2014. Lyons plans to use $500,000 from the School Choice account to further reduce the deficit.
Selectmen appropriated $33.4 million to the schools and the district will receive about $2.8 million in special education circuit breaker money and School Choice funds for a total revenue of $36.2 million. Lyons' proposed budget is $37.8 million.
School officials and the Finance Committee will meet March 7 at 7 p.m.

Latest earthquake near me in USA
TAGS: #earthquake in USA #earthquake near me in USA
Every single day, an earthquake occurs in many places. The USGS has suggested that 500000 perceptible tremors happen in a globe every year. Many of them stay undiscovered since they strike unexpected places or have fewer magnitudes. Regardless of that fact, it does not mean there will never be an earthquake near me. One thing people are hundred percent aware is that an earthquake is highly likely to happen today. Every day, thousands of earthquakes are occurring. Dozens of people are worried where those tremors are going to happen, how terrifying it is going to be, and people who are inhabitants near the potential danger, are afraid that earthquakes may lead to injuries and losses. Sadly, many are scared of even "Earthquake near me" perception.
Although many tremors are very, tiny yet nobody knows them, massive earthquakes which may lead to necessary devastation are an absolute danger, specifically if a person lives in risky parts of the geographic zone. Earthquakes would be one of the terrifying natural catastrophes on Earth. It does not mean that storms, tsunamis, volcanos, wildfires, and other disasters are not scary. They certainly are. However, these troubles are usually (but not always) anticipated. Unfortunately, it has been almost impossible to predict earthquakes.
You may consider that earthquakes only occur in some individual tectonic waves all over the globe, such as the popular "fire ring." However, it is not as you think. Tremors may occur everywhere. Even while I am writing this article, it is highly probable that an earthquake near me could happen within a minute. Nonetheless, the shock is more active in some specific scopes according to the report of the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
How Often Do Earthquakes Occur in the US
The Earth is a place which is full of activity and natural disasters such as earthquakes that are frequently occurring somewhere on Earth. Indeed, the National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) states that nearly between twelve thousand and fourteen thousand tremors occur every year. It shows there is a chance that an earthquake near me could happen at any moment. The case clarifies the data on the recurrence of quakes of different magnitudes, through specific aspects on the impacts of earthquakes and the substitutive energy issue. Globally, Magnitude 2 and very tinier tremors happen more hundred times per day worldwide. Vital earthquakes, more than magnitude 7, occur more than once each month. "Great earthquakes," scale 8 and more, happen approximately once, each year.
Without a doubt, you may hear that in the early 1800's when significant earthquakes happened their magnitudes are demonstrated as "estimated." Because those tremor accidents happened before the invention of the Richter scale, the quake accounts study that is related with the devastation showed in the intensity scale of Mercalli made the estimation, that, you may remember, it provides a categorization of a magnitude of quakes even for a random person (not only seismologist). The characterizations could derive from even typical residents' agreement which contains stating specific aspects about the devastation that the earthquake had caused.
Which State Has The Most Earthquakes Every Year?
It is not a secret that several places of the Eastern and Midwestern of United States are much more sensitive to tremors. The Central Mississippi River Valley, South Carolina, The St. Lawrence River Area, Charleston, and Eastern Massachusetts are the major liable earthquake areas in the US. Other areas of this country's section are also sensitive to quakes. However, people may expect fewer tremors with a tinier magnitude as you see in the below-mentioned map which describes earthquakes risk of devastation for the United States, continentally.
According to researchers, the earthquakes occur in Alaska and California more in the US. United States Geological Survey (USGS) notes that California is a place in which there are most catastrophic tremors in the US. Many of us may be surprised to know that California is the capital of earthquake in the US. Recently, real crucial earthquakes have happened in the United States, along with near San Francisco Loma Prieta tremor in 1989 that lead sixty-three people to death. The shaking is also popular to be live on public TV.
It is no secret that the shaking near the Northridge in Los Angeles had killed sixty people and lead to vital injuries in 1995. However, these quakes were tinier comparing to "the big one," that scientists state the golden state is due. "The quake drought" in Southern California has been even more profound. While a significant earthquake near me unavoidably happens, it can damage thousands and lead more people to be homeless. Alaska is specifically quake-prone, although since numerous of them arrive with a few people, these tremors are inclined to have less attention.
The Ten States of Earthquakes
Experts have listed the ten states of tectonic hot spots. Those are:
Although the state in which you are living is not on the list, it does not mean that you are safe, you are staying in a stable place, and there is not going to be an earthquake near me. Majority of the significant quakes in the U.S. past occurred in the tectonic zone of New Madrid in 1811 and 1812. That scope where contains Southeastern Missouri, Western Kentucky, Southern Illinois, and Tennessee and Northeastern Arkansas can face a severe tremor, too. There are some cities which are also at hazards such as St. Louis and Memphis.
Besides, quakes occur on the East Coast that people may experience them far away. Not only new buildings might be at risk, but also the ancient buildings are much more defenseless to quake injury. Take an example of a tremor in Virginia which happened eight years ago and caused damages on architectures of Washington DC where the people were thinking like "no earthquake near me." There are also other earthquakes which have occurred in Maine, North Carolina, and Delaware, although they were utterly tiny.
The Latest Earthquakes in The US
For an extremely long period in time, some places such as Los Angeles, San Diego have been considered as a place where have real fewer risks for quakes. We can witness that there has been just one who died as a result of an earthquake. That tremor happened in 1986 with 5.4 magnitudes and led twenty-eight citizens to injured. This might be another explanation of why people think to compare to other areas in the States, like Los Angeles and San Francisco where are located more tectonic waves.
Latest Earthquakes in California and Nevada
Los Angeles Special Map
According to the Today Earthquake Track, the Most Recent Earthquake is happening in Cohoe, Alaska, the United States with 1.5 magnitudes, 35 km depts.
The United States has just had :
In the past 24 hours: Fifty Earthquakes
In the past seven days: Three Hundred Seventy-Nine Earthquakes
In the past one months: One Thousand Eighty-Nine Earthquakes
In the past one year: Sixty Six Thousand Five Hundred Twenty Six earthquakes
Taking everything into account, I believe there is a high probability of occurrence of an earthquake near me. So do you. If you would like to know further information about the latest earthquakes and others, do not hesitate to check out our website.

A House for Mr. Skerrit
Dominica Labour Party (DLP) spokesman Anthony Astaphan says Prime Minister Skerrit is entitled to the $32,000 monthly residence at Morne Daniel
Prime Minister's residence at Morne Daniel
Opposition Leader, Lennox Linton, says he is troubled by a June 9th 2020 Cabinet decision approving a monthly payment of EC$32,000.00 for rent of a residence building at Morne Daniel from Mercury Properties Development Ltd for Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
But Anthony Astaphan SC, the main spokesperson for the Skerrit-led government described Linton's comments as an "obsession."
"When is the Leader of the Opposition going to grow up, be mature and make sensible statements to the people? He is just obsessed. The Prime Minister is entitled to the house given the office he holds," Astaphan said.
In his letter Linton stated that it came to the public's attention that on or about June 9th, 2020, the Cabinet decided to impose on the people of Dominica the extraordinary burden of a monthly payment of EC$32,000 to rent a palatial residence at Morne Daniel for the Prime Minister despite the availability of the Prime Minister's official residence at Morne Bruce.
"The Parliamentary Opposition strongly condemns this morally and legally indefensible abuse of the authority of Cabinet. EC$32,000.00 is more than three times the monthly salary of the Prime Minister and more than the annual income of the vast majority of Dominicans. As Prime Minister for more than 16 years, you are well aware that Cabinet has no lawful authority for wasteful, uneconomical, bad value-for-money spending of public funds. You are also aware that based on established appellate jurisprudence, Cabinet does not have the unfettered right to spend taxpayers' money in such a capricious manner without public tender or competitive bidding," Linton said.
But according to Astaphan, four years ago in 2016, Cabinet decided to build a house for the Prime Minister, an official residence, with all amenities, but because of Hurricane Maria and other issues that was pushed back. Now that Government has found a proper place for the Prime Minister what was the issue? "Where do they want him to live? Should he stay stuck in the conference room of the President's House?" Astaphan asked.
"As far as I am concerned, this is another avenue for Linton to create friction and violence. If I was Leader of the Opposition, I would fully support the decision to rent the house and also build a house because it would be my expectation that after the next election I will be there because as opposition leader I want to be the next Prime Minister," Astaphan said.
Astaphan said that a Cabinet subcommittee headed by National Security Minister Rayburn Blackmore was mandated to look into getting a proper house for the Prime Minister and he fully supports its recommendation.
But Linton describes the cabinet decision as "unconscionable and a clear abuse of public office for the personal benefit of the Head of Cabinet".
"We strongly oppose the use of money belonging to the people of Dominica for corrupt, selfish purposes and demand an immediate revocation of the Cabinet decision to rent the Morne Daniel residence from Mercury Properties Development Ltd for EC$32,000.00 monthly," Linton said.
Should Cabinet refuse to reverse this decision that flagrantly contravenes the financial regulations for procurement of public services, Linton said "we (the opposition) will use all legal means and the rights granted to them by the Constitution of Dominica to have this matter resolved in the public interest".

Fighting the Coronavirus Shocks
Washington Insider -- Wednesday
3/11/2020 | 5:58 AM CDT
By DTN's Washington Insider
Here's a quick monitor of Washington farm and trade policy issues from DTN's well-placed observer.
R-CALF Blasts Perdue For Country Of Origin Labeling (COOL) Comments
USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue's suggestion last week that voluntary labels declaring that meat is "slaughtered and processed in the U.S." might be acceptable in lieu of mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) not surprisingly have drawn criticism from Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA).
Perdue last week suggested it was an option that could pass scrutiny at the World Trade Organization (WTO), which found a previous U.S. mandatory COOL effort ran afoul of trade rules.
"This is exactly what the meatpackers and meat importers want: a label that does not identify in which country the cattle used to produce the meat were born and raised," said R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard.
There continues to be some labeling of U.S. beef and pork in grocery stores that indicate the meat was from animals born, raised and harvested in the U.S., but those efforts are not mandatory but reflect some grocery stores opting to not go through the expense of changing what had been mandatory labels.
USTR Announces Two Public Hearings on Imports of Seasonal, Perishable Products
Public hearings will be held April 7 in Plant City, Florida, and April 9 in Valdosta, Georgia, by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, USDA and the Department of Commerce.
The two sessions are planned to "hear firsthand from interested persons on trade distorting policies that may be causing harm to U.S. seasonal and perishable producers (namely, of fresh fruits and vegetables) and contributing to unfair pricing in the U.S. market, and to solicit feedback on how the Administration can better support these producers and redress any unfair harm."
Washington Insider: Fighting the Coronavirus Shocks
The Washington Post is reporting this week that Wall Street continues to be skeptical that the Trump administration will design an effective coronavirus stimulus program. Questions are being raised about whether the package will be big enough – and whether the administration can secure congressional support for it.
The economic stakes could hardly be higher, the Post thinks after Monday's stock market meltdown that brought markets near "bear market territory" after falling almost 20% from highs just last month. The Post's outlook also reflected a 24% decline in oil prices; and a sharp decline in the yield on the 10-year Treasury bonds which fell below 0.4%, a new low.
Taken together, these results could be seen as a nearly "unmistakable verdict" from investors who "now expect a recession." The Post added that a growing chorus of economists agree. This threatens a "downturn that could undermine the administration's central argument for its reelection, the report said.
Against that "darkening backdrop," the administration announced Monday that it was assembling a relief package to sustain dislocated workers and keep businesses afloat. It was described as a payroll tax cut as well as help for hourly workers including a short-term expansion of paid sick leave.
The administration's comments made clear that the White House is now considering a "large and expensive government response," the Post said and commented that this marks a sharp policy turnaround in just a matter of days. While the president had floated the idea of a payroll tax cut earlier, his economic advisers had placed the burden on the Federal Reserve for backstopping the economy. Larry Kudlow, the top economic hand, as recently as Friday pooh-poohed a big fiscal response, arguing such packages "have never really worked in the past."
In addition, the administration can't take congressional support for whatever it proposes for granted, the Post said. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., outlined their preferences last weekend calling for paid sick leave, enhanced unemployment insurance, expanded food stamp benefits and "widespread and free" coronavirus testing and reimbursement for care not covered by insurance.
House Democrats are set to hear today from Jason Furman, who served as President Obama's top economist and Claudia Sahm, a former Fed economist who specializes in recessions. Both have called for major fiscal responses – Furman is ballparking the price tag at $350 billion. And both say the benefits must be tailored to make an impact quickly for the most vulnerable, a mark they say a payroll tax cut misses.
"It would be too slow and dispersed to substantially stimulate the economy, as households would receive only a modest benefit every pay period," Furman wrote in the Wall Street Journal last week. "The distributional effects are worrisome as well: A one-year payroll tax cut of 2% of income would provide up to a $5,508 tax cut to a high-income couple but only $500 to a single parent getting by on $25,000 a year – and nothing for a worker placed on leave without pay. This isn't the fairest or most efficient way to increase aggregate demand."
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is considering "targeted tax relief measures," a spokesman said, though it is not clear what those include. And "some of his fellow Republicans are less interested," the Post said.
Indeed, the president and his top aides continue projecting optimism that the coronavirus will prove only a short-term and limited drag on the economy in the face of evidence to the contrary, the Post noted.
The President "has spent much of the past four days tending to campaign benefactors and preoccupied with his own political future," the report said. "He has used those settings to complain about what he considers to be coronavirus hysteria in the media and overreaction by financial markets."
Administration officials nevertheless say that we will provide whatever tools we need and that "the economy will be in very good shape a year from now," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said at the Monday evening press conference. "This is not like the financial crisis where we don't know the end in sight. This is about providing proper tools and liquidity to get through the next few months."
Mnuchin's comments drew a rebuke from Larry Summers, a predecessor at the helm of Treasury. "For the Secretary to suggest it's all in hand is to put his credibility at some risk and I don't think people in positions of responsibility for economic policy should ever try to be definitive about what economic outcomes are going to be," Summers said.
Summers, who helped craft the 2009 stimulus package in the teeth of the financial crisis, said there is now "much more danger that we will do too little than we will do too much."
Considering how low the yield has fallen on longer-term U.S. debt, "the market is begging the government to borrow money," Jay Shambaugh, director of the Hamilton Project at Brookings, says. "Take out some insurance against big downside risk. If it turns out we didn't need it, it's not the end of the world."
So, we will see. As pressure builds to "do something" about the increasingly bleak economic outlook, the fight over what that could turn out to be certainly is one producers should watch closely as the debate intensifies, Washington Insider believes.

CORPUS: A series of standing stones that engage and reflect on the anatomy and psyche of being human
Matthew Dalziel (Artist), Louise Scullion (Artist)
Contemporary Art Practice
Commissioned in Jan 2017 by the University of Cambridge for the grounds of their new Cappella Building and development (later renamed The Jeffery Cheah Biomedical Building) which drew together four institutes onto one site. Each of the institutes explore human health at a cellular level, from the different specialisms of Immunology, Stem Cell Research, Haematology and therapeutics. Dalziel + Scullion had to imagine and design an artwork which spoke to this context, was unique and distinctive and was of international standing in the art-world
Dalziel + Scullion were commissioned in Jan 2017 by the University of Cambridge to create a permanent large-scale artwork for the grounds of their new Cappella Building and development which will draw together four institutes on one site. Each of the institutes will explore human health at a cellular level, but from the different specialisms of Immunology, Stem Cell Research, Haematology and therapeutics.
Dalziel + Scullion had to imagine and design an artwork which spoke to this context, was unique and distinctive and was of international standing in the art-world.
CORPUS consists of seven structures, which appear like a series of standing stones, reminiscent of abstracted vertebra shapes. As the stones are of human scale, their forms invite interaction. People who engage with the work will discover the external profile of each has been determined by the proportions of the human figure and echo a series of positions from recumbent through to standing. Whilst the structures effectively act as an individual seat or bench, the various forms encourage different ways to sit, recline, lie or lean on their cool stony surfaces. The artwork allows the user to experience alternative perspectives and physical sensations challenging our awareness of our own bodies and altering our perception of the space around them.
To research and test the forms a structure was made that incorporated the inners of a car seat, allowing subtle angles to be achieved, to try out potential shapes and dimensions for each of the proposed CORPUS structures. A variety of body shapes were then measured on the structure as were the statistics accessed via designs for NASA pilot (male & female) cockpit designs. Our calculations were informed initially by out original wooden maquettes, then by the structural tolerances of the materials we would ultimately be casting with (minimum wall thicknesses of 100mm and avoiding undulations that may have resulted in rain pooling on horizontal surfaces etc), and finally by the physical experiments and stats previously described.
Our final designs were reviewed by Dr Graham Arnold of the Department of Orthopaedic & Trauma Surgery at the University of Dundee. Graham Arnold has over 35 years' experience as a professional electronic design engineer developing equipment and instrumentation for a variety of industries including Naval, Automotive, Meteorological, Military, Oil and Medical.

In the Product theme under Theme Options I have set the Show content block? option to No. It is still showing a white bar. How do I hide this white bar from showing up on the home page? Attached is a screenshot of the white bar I am referring to in FF. You can also visit the URL in the .pdf if you wish. I have purposely left it out of this post to avoid Google indexing of the URL.
Testing it out on a test site, I can see the content block is not completely hidden when set to No. I'll see if I can get Tammie to look into this one.
I thought I should mention also, in case you haven't seen it already, in the theme's library/docs folder you'll find a productmanual.pdf which details the theme's composition.
Can you try the attached files just put them in your theme root replace sidebar-home.php and home.php. I had updated this for the latest version however we're waiting for 3.1 to drop before releasing our next batch of updates. I can't recreate the issue in this one.
"Please set either your slideshow up or content or both under admin, appearance and theme options.
You will also want to go to theme options and preset styles to set the theme styles this is the default minimal style there are other fancier ones with a range of effects."
Please see attached for a sample. Please advise.
I suggest then you wait until the next version is released of Product as I can't find this an issue in my test site and that file works for me. Shouldn't be longer than this week some time.

See you at The Cinema Museum
From becoming a maid for the day to a burglar entertaining a married woman, join WAF as they present three of the earliest silent films in its collection, with new soundtracks composed by Laura Rossi.
Since 2015, the Women Amateur Filmmakers in Britain project has uncovered and digitised over 100 films made by women amateurs between 1928 and 1988, to identify and celebrate the historical role that such women pioneers played in the British amateur film movement.
The three films are:
● Sally Sallies Forth (1928), directed by Frances Lascot : heralded as the first amateur film produced entirely by women. Chaos ensues when Sally (Sadie Andrews) becomes a maid for a day at an upper class garden party.
● The Polite Burglar (1929), directed by Sadie Andrews : a comedy produced as a competition for the London Amateur Cinematographers Association – can you spot the 30 deliberate errors in the film?
● Doomsday (1932), directed by Ruth Stuart : an early amateur science fiction film about the end of the world, strongly influenced by European art cinema.
The programme will also include a Q&A with members of the WAF project team, the East Anglian Film Archive, and a member of the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers.

Home » Exercise » How Important is Stretching for Weight Loss?
There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the value – or lack thereof – of muscle stretching to accelerate recovery after exercise. "Stretching clears out your lactic acid," and other similar claims abound. Is any of this true? Sort of. First, it is important to understand the difference between stretching for recovery and stretching for remodeling.
For muscles, this process of resetting for the next event is called recovery. The muscle is returned to full function without soreness. This is not the process that leads to body change per se, but it is important for athletes who wish to compete at their highest level multiple times during a short period.
