Chris Salter's large scale installations, performative environments and research focus on and challenge human perception, merging haptic, visual, acoustic and other sensory phenomena. Exploring the borders between the senses, art, design and new technologies, his immersive and physically experiential works are informed by theater, architecture, visual art, computer music, perceptual psychology, cultural theory and engineering and are developed in collaboration with anthropologists, historians, philosophers, engineers, artists and designers.
Salter's work has been shown at major international exhibitions and festivals in over a dozen countries including the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale (Venice), National Art Museum of China (Beijing), Lille 3000 (Lille), Fondarie Darling (International Biennale of Electronics Arts – Montreal), HAU3 (Berlin), Laboral Centro de Arte y Creacion Industriel (Gijon, Spain), Nuit Blanche (Paris), Vitra Design Museum (Germany), EXIT Festival (Maison des Arts, Creteil-Paris), Ars Electronica (Linz), Pact Zollverein (Essen, Germany), CTM (Berlin), Villette Numerique (Paris), Todays Art (the Hague), Todays Art.jp (Tokyo), Meta.Morf (Norway), Mois Multi (Quebec), transmediale (Berlin), Elektra (Montréal), the Banff Center (Banff), Dance Theater Workshop (New York), V2 (Rotterdam), SIGGRAPH 2001 (New Orleans), Mediaterra (Athens) and the Exploratorium (San Francisco).
Salter is Concordia University Research Chair in New Media, Technology and the Senses, Co-Director of the Hexagram Network for Research-Creation in Media Art, Design, Digital Culture and Technology, Director of Hexagram Concordia and Associate Professor, Computation Arts in the Department of Design and Computation Art at Concordia University, Montreal. He is a regular presenter at national and international conferences, has given numerous invited talks at universities and festivals worldwide and has sat on many juries including the Prix Ars Electronica among others.
In addition to his artistic work, Salter's critical research can be found in his seminal book, Entangled: Technology and the Transformation of Performance (MIT Press, 2010) and Alien Agency: Experimental Encounters with Art in the Making (MIT Press, 2015).
The following are some of the more recent projects developed by the Chris Salter.
Dissense is a 30-40 minute live performance for a solo performer and up to 100 audience members. The work plays off and extends Alvin Lucier's famed 1965 "Music for Solo Performer" (in which Lucier's Alpha brainwaves activated a series of percussions instruments) by transferring sensations from one performer body to a mass of people. Equipped at the start of the performance with a range of body-based sensors (heartrate, respiration, skin conductance, EEG, electrical signals from the muscles), the performer moves through a range of intense tasks, transferring their physiological response into the crowd via light, sound and worn haptic devices. The emotional response to these changes is captured by the sensors and converted into haptic sensations on the audience's bodies that can be either simultaneous or spread across the group like a wave.
Over the course of the performance, a minimalistic composition of light and soundunfolds with unpredictable moods, from very subtle and liminal to saturated flashes and noises. The performer and audience thus becomes the test subject of a mass experiment in visual and aural stimulation aimed at provoking subtle or bold sensations captured by the sensors and diffused across bodies – a radically new form of sensation at a distance.

Haptic Field is a participatory multi-sensory installation merging contemporary fashion, wearable technology and an exploration of the senses beyond site that creates a singular and uncanny physical experience for the public. In the environment, a group of up to twenty visitors wear specially designed garments, which are outfitted with various sensing and actuating devices that enable visitors to interface with the performance space. Haptic Field thus provokes unusual and intense bodily sensations by blurring our senses of touch, sight and sound. With one's ability to visually navigate and make sense of the world removed upon entering the installation, the visitor enters a continually shifting, hallucinatory, almost dream-like environment where nothing is what it seems and where one begins to experience other senses like touch, sound, proprioception, the experience of time and the invisible presence of others —senses that we normally ignore or forget about in our mainly visually dominated world.
Haptic Field forms part of a continued artistic exploration into the extension of the human sensorium within our contemporary technosphere. Beginning with JND (2010), continuing with Displace (2011-2013) and most recently, Ilinx (2014-2015), both collaborations with the Italian-born, Amsterdam based artist and musician TeZ, these sensory installations have been exhibited world-wide and examine how the boundaries between our different senses are, in fact, culturally constructed and how new technologies work to increasingly extend, shape and transform our sensorial experience within our socio-technical environment.

Ilinx is a performative environment for the general public provoking an intense bodily experience that blurs the senses of sight, sound and touch. In the environment, a group of visitors wear specially designed garments. These wearables are outfitted with various sensing and actuating devices that enable visitors to interface with the performance space. During the event, a ritualistic progression which lasts approximately thirty minutes, the natural continuum between sound and vibration, vision and feeling becomes increasingly blurred, extending and stretching the body' boundaries beyond the realm of everyday experience.
n-polytope is a spectacular light and sound environment combining cutting edge lighting, lasers, sound, sensing and artificial intelligence software technologies inspired by composer Iannis Xenakis's radical 1960s-1970s works named "Polytopes" (from the Greek poly, many and topos, space). The installation is steered through a sensor network utilizing cutting edge machine learning algorithms which learns different rhythmic and temporal patterns produced by the light and sound and helps in generating a totalizing, visceral composition that self organizes in time. Masses of super bright LED's and many tiny speakers are suspended through the space on a single ruled surface constructed of thin aircraft cable, creating a walk-through performance environment which continually swings between order and disorder, akin to Xenakis's original fascination with the behaviors of natural systems.

Displace is a performative environment which can be adapted to different sites and venues. In the installation, groups of visitors progress through a ritualized sequence of sensory-based actions — spatially defined stations that intermingle olfactory, gustatory, audio-visual, haptic and proprioceptive stimuli. The environment progresses through various scenes, culminating in a hallucinatory set of experiences where flickering color, sound and tactile vibrations merge to the point of physical and mental saturation.
How do light and sound combine to create situations where we hear what we see and see what we hear? Atmosphere is a total sensory environment combining coloured LED light, sound, infrared heat and haze. Over a 20 minute cycle, sudden bursts of light, sound and heat transform the gallery into a synesthetic space fluctuating between dense overload and contemplative reflection. Exploring what architecture critic Mark Wigley calls "an architecture of atmosphere," a sensuous climate of ephemeral yet, tangibly felt effects envelop visitors, probing the ways in which the just perceivable opens up our experience of space and emotion.
Just Noticeable Difference is a sensory environment for one person at a time lying in total darkness. The installation is based on Gustav Fechner's concept of the jnd: the perceptual detection of the smallest changes in sensory stimuli. Over a specific range of time, visitors experience an extraordinarily range of visual, auditory and tactile sensations that challenge how we perceive the smallest degrees of change in sensory stimuli over different levels of intensities.

Art Review: 'The Geometric Exercises of Helen Matteson,' BigTown Gallery
by Amy Lilly
Courtesy Of Bigtown Gallery
untitled work by Helen Matteson
At BigTown Gallery in Rochester, a small exhibit offers a tantalizing glimpse into the work of an artist who pursued her discipline to great depth in relative isolation. "The Geometric Exercises of Helen Matteson" comprises 16 works by the artist. A relative unknown, she was born in Chicago in 1925 and died in Thetford in 2011.
Anni Mackay, BigTown's owner and director, spent two and a half years cataloging Matteson's oeuvre after her death at the request of her family. The artist had left behind approximately 8,000 works, mostly watercolors on 8.5-by-11-inch pieces of paper, all of which were undated, unsigned and untitled. Mackay estimates that Matteson produced most of the work in Vermont, where she moved at the age of 69.
"Almost all of it was very good," marvels Mackay. The curator has cataloged many artists' work but none with such an enormous output, she says. (Her next-largest project was modernist painter Pat Adams' work, at 1,500 pieces.) In the absence of dates, Mackay grouped Matteson's work according to 36 themes: the Dot Series, the Double Circle Series, and so on. While one grouping had only 10 works, most had hundreds; one had 2,400 pieces — "so, a very deep dive," Mackay comments.
For "Geometric Exercises," Mackay selected works that Matteson likely produced in the last 30 years of her life. They show the artist's facility not just with watercolors but also gouache, collage, and pen and ink. The exhibit also highlights Matteson's wide-ranging experiments with color, from bright and bold on black backgrounds to delicate pastels.
The forms she worked in are solely abstract, minimalist and geometric — but here again she explored an enormous range of spatial and formal expression.
In two works, concentric circles demonstrate a pattern in delicate color gradations while also playing with the form itself: The circles are sliced off on one side by a curvy line or interrupted internally by an organic form in a different color scheme.
In another, gray-and-white-marbled collaged forms float on a background of red among thin bars of greens, blues, teal and orange. One variation on this work foregrounds a red textured surface that has been left bare along slight geometric pencil lines — a partial curve, a short line, a corner. The spatial arrangement is anchored on one side by a collaged block of marbled gray and, along the paper's other edges, streaks of blues, greens and yellow.
Three pen-and-ink works explore the effect of closely drawn parallel lines — perhaps using a ruler — to fill a space or create a form. In one, the lines densely fill an organic shape with a collage integrated into its midsection.
Mackay showed a few of Matteson's works in a group show at her gallery in 2016 after completing the cataloging. (See Rachel Elizabeth Jones' Seven Days review online.) Before that, however, her work was shown only five times, and only in Ohio, beginning with two group shows at the Akron Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1976 and ending with a solo exhibit at the Akron in 1982.
Mackay nevertheless thinks of Matteson as an "outsider artist" — that is, someone who makes art for its own sake without intending to show it. Perhaps the artist had meant to show it early on: After earning a degree in history from the University of Rochester, Matteson moved to New York City and studied at the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League of New York in the late 1940s and early '50s.
Judging from her art, she likely saw work by contemporaries such as Ellsworth Kelly, Ken Noland, Frank Stella, Agnes Martin and Sol LeWitt, comments Mackay. (Josef Albers seems another.) But while their influence is detectable, the curator adds, Matteson's work is like "tantric exercises. It's about the reverence of practice."
Matteson was married to an artist, Ian, who taught at Kent State University until the couple retired in Vermont, but she rarely shared what she did with her husband, Mackay learned. In their Thetford house, she had her own studio in which Mackay found her art piled on shelves. Her cataloging job made the work a revelation to Ian, and to their daughter, Abigail.
Visitors, too, will see a remarkable mind at work, one that seemed to find no limits — within the realm of geometry, that is. In one summer-evoking work, Matteson used angled spring-green lines to frame a central, roughly rectangular shape of pool blue crossed with more green lines and surrounded by a border of pale peach.
Yet she also filled a piece of paper with an uncompromising black, revealing only a couple of bars of green and blue and a black-patterned, not-quite-square collage. The minimal forms radiate around a center point.
Then Matteson tore the painting out of a spiral notebook — the row of tabs is visible on the bottom edge — and moved on to the next. m

Let's get him NOW! What is not to like about the guy. Game tape, now he is at the combine tearing it up. He has the will and non stop motor. I don't care put him on the field. I draft him high second, the only problem is he won't be there.
He's a football player first and foremost you dunce. If you only see the one hand your comment is irrelevant. The guy runs a 4.38, was the best defensive player in the AA, and on the night of the peach bowl, and does not quit. Half of this damn team quit last yr and those guys had 2 hands but no heart. This guy won't quit. Its the type of player we need. You don't have to put him at LB, you can create a position for him, because of his talent. Put him all over the field, who gives a damn he is a baller. Ignorance is bliss but he can play edge he can play LB, to have a talent that can do both is a great commodity. Don't forget the game we didn't have both of our star LBs. Your comment just makes me glad that for every "real bucs fan" exist a "Shaquem Griffin"
I think he's a guy we could use as a box safety if we drafted him. If you've actually seen him play you'd have zero worries about his tackling. It's about as textbook as it comes. Keeps his head up, wraps the ball carrier up and drives through his target. I'd be on board.
I love the kid...I'd love to have him..
But we'd better not draft him high AND that wasn't a 4.38 40...I don't care what anyone says..
He had a bad start and the clock stopped fast..
Nothing against him, but just let his true numbers speak for themselves..
That kid is awesome, we just don't need him. We already have a ton of quality LB's. Drafting a LB in the second would be like us drafting a WR or TE early. I just hope he goes to the AFC and not someone in the NFC South, I don't want to see him twice a year.
3rd rd pick- strong safety all day . Do it DOM !
terrytate wrote: That kid is awesome, we just don't need him.
Stopped reading here. To hell with that thinking. We need talented players. We need ballers. Griffin is both. A coaching staff can find. way to get him on the field even with a "talented" LB group. But to hell with this "we don't need him" nonsense. We're a 5-11 team with a **** defense. We need all the help we can get.
After the combine people are predicting between late 3rd-late 6th for Griffin. That means nothing. 2nd is too high for him for reasons listed, but what would everyone be ok with taking him? 3rd? 4th?...I don't think there's anyway he last past the 4th IMO.
Anyone want to make a prediction of where he goes?
edit: I'd be fine with him in the 3rd. He could be a great special teams player and a utility player.
We DO need to shore up our secondary and defensive line, but when I watched last season's team I saw a playoff caliber team with a cellar dweller mentality. We need to acquire talented players with the mental makeup capable of changing the culture of this team. Our front office had damn well better be doing their due diligence evaluating Griffin no matter what position he projects to.
Kind of have the same discussion going in the combine thread. I'd love to have him here.
At what point do you take him?
After the combine I've seen as early as late 3rd and as late as 6th round. I would be fine taking him in the 4th or 5th round.
Where does everyone think he will go?
I think he put himself in the 3rd round. I'd happily spend a 4th on him. Or even trading up into the end of the 3rd somewhere.
Let me preface this by saying I like him. He's a football player. I would want him on the Bucs.
But where do you play him? Full-time edge, where he is very undersized? Linebacker, where we are deepest? Safety, which would require him to move positions?
A high second round draft pick should either be a penciled in starter or a valuable member of a rotation with an eye towards starting sooner rather than later. Griffin, in my eyes, wouldn't be either of those things, unless we move to a 3-4 and think he can rush that edge, with Gholston keeping him clean.
He's a project right now. A baller, but a project. I'd consider him in the fourth. Using a second on him means we don't get to spend that second rounder on a talented defensive back or a proven defensive tackle or a day one starting guard or an edge rusher who can hold the edge consistently against guys heavier than 300 pounds.
I wouldn't be mad if we drafted him, but I'd be a bit pissed if it was in the second round.
Do you think Shaqueem is the only talented kid in this draft? Do you think he's the only guy who can play? Put that nonsense back in your purse and look around, there is plenty of talent to be had, lots of it at places where we really need it.
Here is what I think, he has the same make up of his brother. He has been doubted his whole life. He plays football at the highest highest level when he is on the field. He makes plays and is non stop on ever single play. If he gets a start as a edge rusher and in the future moves over to OLB than so be it. But having a guy that has 0 quit out does the "do you think he is the only guy who can play". This team has failed horribly in drafting so called prototypical players with talent. It's time we get players that come to play and have 0 quit. This guy has all of that, an by the way he plays very very very sound football. This team needs defense, and he can literally play any end and any LB backer spot, you can even shade him as a Safety on running downs because of his speed. I wish people would watch his tape.
I love the Griffin's story and the heart he has.
I just question what position does he play? To me, I don't think you can make him a DB when he only has 1 hand. Despite his athleticism DBs need to be able to take the ball away and having 1 hand is incredible disadvantage when trying to catch an NFL pass.
So imo he has to play LB and tbh he does his best work near the LOS. I think he can carve out a role as a sub package defender as some type of hybrid EDGE player.
But he's a day 3 pick, 5th round would be his ceiling imo. He'll certainly get drafted.
DreadNaught wrote: I love the Griffin's story and the heart he has.
You know who had a nice story as well, Deshuan Watson.
That's the great thing about the guy, he has the talent and speed to play the edge. No way he goes past the second day.
What does Watson have to do with Griffin?
I think he could be drafted in the 3rd round. I just think the 2nd, especially where we pick, is far too high for him.
We'll see. I agree he's got speed and talent, but everyone in the NFL has talent so Griffin isn't going to be able to just out-athlete the competition anywhere close to how he was able to in college. We'd be talking about him as 1st round prospect if not for his handicap. But that is the reality. Hand usage matters for NFL defenders whether it's getting off blocks, pass rush moves, catching the ball, etc. Him being drafted and making to the NFL is already remarkable. I wish the kid nothing but the best.
Bet he gets called for waaayyyyy less holding penalties than anyone in this draft!
You have to hand it to him, he's had a great combine.
He had a great combine, but you have to take everything into consideration. On one hand the kid is amazing, but on the other he isn't the complete package.
I bet you couldn't even complete the 40 yard dash. You do know 2 hand touch requires you to be able to catch the ball and run right? Or that the other guy gets the ball.
PrimeMinister wrote: He had a great combine, but you have to take everything into consideration. On one hand the kid is amazing, but on the other he isn't the complete package.
Not saying he would make these plays in the NFL, but he fights off a blocker to catch a tipped pass. And recovers a fumble.

Williamsburg is Haunted! See for yourself...Haunted Tours & Dining
American Revolution Museum at Yorktown
In the heart of America's Old Dominion country lies the quaint colonial town of Williamsburg. Lined with shops and restaurants harking back to the days of the newborn nation, Williamsburg gives visitors a taste of life in the 1700s, both human and supernatural. The Williamsburg historic area is notorious for its many ghosts, spirits and tales of folklore, and several books have been written on these topics. "...it appears that it's true due to the long history of the state and the fact that there has been so much trauma and tragedy here, with the Indian conflicts, the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Couple that with the abundance of old, historic houses here and you have an explanation for all the paranormal activity. Ghosts seem to hang around old houses," explains L.B. Taylor, author of The Ghosts of Williamsburg, a book published in 1983. Visitors in Williamsburg can experience these legends for themselves on The Original Ghosts of Williamsburg Candlelight Tour, a nightly walking tour led by a storytelling certified historical interpreter.
Another haunted tour in Williamsburg is based on the book by Jackie Eileen Behrend, The Hauntings of Williamsburg, Yorktown and Jamestown. Hauntings of Williamsburg tour-goers may have the chance to hear the Wagon of Death as it rumbles down Nicholson Street, bearing a load of prisoners to the gallows; or possibly catch a note of the colonial celebration going on at the Raleigh Tavern; and just as likely to be heard are ghosts still fighting the Revolutionary War in an otherwise quiet residential area.
In addition to Williamsburg's ghost story and folklore tours, the town is also known for its share of haunted old houses, such as the Wythe House. Known as "The Most Haunted House in Williamsburg," this former residence of Declaration of Independence signer George Wythe is home to as many as four ghost occupants. The most commonly experienced happening is the sound of a high heeled shoe clicking on the stairs at exactly midnight. Others have heard chairs being dragged across the floor, smelled a lady's perfume when there are no others present, or even seen kitchen candles move from the window to the table without human help.
For those who doubt the existence of the supernatural, let it be known that even the Reverend Dr. W. A. R. Goodwin, a minister who directed the Colonial Williamsburg Restoration in the '20s and '30s, believed in the presence of spirits in the town. In 1936, he said to visiting newspaper columnist Ernie Pyle, "I wouldn't give a hoot for anybody who didn't believe in ghosts." So when in Williamsburg, why not take one of these historic tours and find out?
Other Haunted Happenings in Williamsburg:
Those Detestable Slaves of the Devil! — Book Discussion and signing by local author Carson Hudson; discussion of 17the and 18the century Virginians' beliefs and superstitions, as well as witchcraft proceedings and supernatural occurrences in Virginia.
Williamsburg's Haunted Dinner Theatre. — Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. "Ding. Dong. The Witch is Dead!" murder mystery and 71-item dinner buffet at Captain George's Restaurant.
An Evening with Edgar Allan Poe. Hear storytelling of the famous author's most scary tales, including "Black Cat," "The Raven" and "The Tell-Tale Heart" in Colonial Williamsburg at the Williamsburg Lodge.
Enjoy these wonderful tours and activities when you adventure to this beautiful city. Book the best lodging option for your and your family when you plan your vacation package to Williamsburg.

There are many stores in Vice city that you can walk into and 15 of them can be robbed. Robbing all 15 of them is not hard and is also a requirement for completing the game 100%.
First of all, if you are playing the PC version, you will need to change your control system to 'Classic'. You can do this in the control options menu. This will allow you to target people using the target button.
A store that can be robbed will have a guy like this standing in it. If the store doesnt, it cannot be robbed.
Find one of the stores indicated below in the map (click a number to see a screenshot). A good thing to do before you enter the store is to know where the nearest police bribe is because you will be leaving the store with at least a two star wanted level.
Park your car at the door of the store so that you can make a quick getaway. Walk into the store and target the shopkeeper (pictured above) using your target button.
Keep targeting the storekeeper until some money appears on the front desk. Once the money appears on the front desk, the store can be classed as robbed. You do not need to take the money but you may as well, seeing as you have made this much effort.
Leave the store and make a getaway in your car, using the usual methods to rid the police wanted level.
At this point it makes sense to quickly check your stats to confirm that the robbery has been registered in your stats. Otherwise you will have to do it again.
I know I've robbed every story at least three times. Some more but the game says I have only 14. Must be my penalyy for being bad and using a lot of cheats.
cananyone tell me how torob a store ?
i robbed 6 out of 15 stores then i got a wanted level and i cheated.There's no need to get a police bribe.it's just simple!
if u dont wanna switch ta classics, u just point a pistol on the head.
i don't think you can rob stores in san andreas. the only shops there are that you can go into, beside the ammunation and the fast-food places and bars, is the 24/7 store, and i've tried targeting it, but he doesn't do anything except put his hands up. When i kill him, he drops nothing either. And: targeting the ammunation guy will result in you being shot.

Review: Batman
March 17, 2015 / Josh Hale
After the Superman franchise had killed itself with a string of cheap, boring sequels (Quest for Peace, anyone?), audiences were not as excited for superhero films the way they would become a couple of decades later. Who would've thought that the man behind Beetlejuice and the star of Mr. Mom would be the dynamic duo to entice people with superheroes once again?
Following the film's success (thanks to a smart marketing campaign and good word-of-mouth) a string of sequels would turn out the same results of the big blue boy scout's film franchise a decade later–causing Warner Bros. to reboot the caped crusader in 2005 with Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, and the rest as we know, is history.
But where did Batman's popularity begin? The 60's, actually (Adam West), but what about the way we know and love Batman today? The knight cloaked in black whose logo is as iconic as his silhouette? The top-grossing film of 1989.
This is Batman.
Batman stars Michael Keaton (Beetlejuice, Birdman) in the title role as a now experienced crime fighter who must face his toughest (and most iconic) nemesis yet found in Jack Napier aka The Joker played by Jack Nicholson (The Shining, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest). But things aren't so cut-and-dry for our hero as Bruce Wayne has just met Vicki Vale, a reporter for the paper.
Violence – The Joker stabs a victim in the throat, and electrocutes another. Shootings and fight scenes (punching, throwing). Bruce Wayne recalls the murder of his parents.
Sex – Implied sex between our hero and Vicki Vale.
Language – "B—–d", "s—t" every now and then.
The story is quite simple–and where Batman's strength lies, is in the way we see the various characters encounter each other. Instead of the hero facing off against the villain solely in his costume, gadgets and all, here we see many interesting ways that the characters could encounter one another.
There's a scene where Bruce Wayne meets the Joker, where Batman faces Jack Napier, and finally, Batman vs. The Joker. This gives the film some complexity, despite its straightforward script. These characters are no longer cardboard cutouts of what we saw with simple antiheroes on television like The Lone Ranger or Zorro, but instead are three dimensional, with feelings and motivations beyond "I'm the hero! I must save! I'm the villain! Time to die!"
Keeping in line with the various ways we see the characters interact, the best part of Tim Burton's Gotham vision is his actors–specifically his two leads. Michael Keaton is great in the role of Bruce Wayne, as at the time many fans scoffed once it was announced he would be starring. The reason this works is because Bruce Wayne, despite his wealth and "playboy" reputation, is a introverted man, marked by the haunting of his parent's death. So it makes sense to cast someone who you would least suspect to put on the cape and cowl.
Keaton is very subtle, giving a performance that is fun to watch. He's always thinking, always paying attention. But thankfully, Keaton is equally as enjoyable in the costume, mysterious, utilizing fear and word-of-mouth from those he intimidates. However, there are a few moments where this Batman is–passive? In his opening scene, he waits for some crooks to mug a couple before he goes in to take them down.
The true star, however, of Batman is Jack Nicholson. Nicholson creates a dynamic, and truly entertaining villain in his portrayal of the Joker. The film focuses on the origin of the Joker, which one would think would create sympathy for the clown prince of crime. But that's simply not the case! Nicholson's Joker is maniacal, with a wickedly nasty sense of humor. His schemes aren't anything unique, but for fans of the Batman comic, this won't be bothersome.
Burton likes to sit and let Nicholson go crazy (Did you see the films I credited him with? I would too if I was directing) and it's a blast to watch. For those who slave only to Heath Ledger's (The Dark Knight) Joker, you may find yourself asking Nicholson's to quit laughing so much, but if you love watching films about psychopaths, or nonsensical humor, this Joker will put a smile on your face (these puns write themselves).
While the two leads are quite good, the supporting cast isn't very memorable. Vicki Vale played by Kim Basinger (LA Confidential) does a serviceable job at best. She does the role, but brings nothing new or interesting to it. This would be fine if not for the rest of the film bringing up new and interesting ideas about the titular character. Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Dent, and Alfred, they're all here, but they're not the focus of the film, resulting in characters that aren't bad, per se, but aren't memorable either.
Roger Pratt's cinematography is quite impressive here. Burton utilized map paintings and beautiful sets to create a city that not only feels real, but that feels specifically like Gotham. Burton is known for his visual flair, and this film is no different. You notice the design of the film, and if you're like me, you dig every moment of it.
The sets only benefit the film's stunts, which are well done. While Batman isn't the most action-packed of superhero films, the action is here to do what any proper action scene should: to serve the story. At times you can spot a map painting that looks slightly off compared to the rest of the shot, but for the most part this is a beautiful film, full of good lighting and memorable design.
Not quite finished praising the film. Batman's greatest feature is Danny Elfman's now legendary score. This is the music of Batman. Elfman (who later on would help Sony by giving Spider-Man a great theme as well) utilizes trumpets to create a pulsating anthem, designed to get your blood pumping for an epic story.
When the opening credits begin, and you hear the Batman theme, you'll know you're in for a treat. This is one of the greatest scores of all time, full of true character and charm all in service of the film's story. A question I ask myself for iconic themes is, Can I hum the theme even if I haven't seen the film in awhile? (while I did watch Batman for this review). Elfman's music for Batman has found its way into my head many times in my life, and is easily one of the greatest superhero themes ever put in a motion picture.
A mixed bag with some slow moments, Batman is still a great film to watch for those curious about the character's on-screen origins or for fans of the character in general. Tim Burton's Batman was the force that brought the dark, gritty Batman into the mainstream.
Frank Miller changed the game with The Dark Knight Returns on the page in 1986, but graphic novels did not have the mass appeal of mainstream movies, and Batman ended up becoming the highest-grossing film of 1989, resulting in not only a successful reimagining of the character, but a successful film that reached a wide audience. Batman was no longer the silly "Bam!" "Oof!" "Wahp!" slapstick character the public saw him as via Adam West, but instead was a grim, harsh, knight of justice, running across the rooftops of a city in need of saving.
Oh, and the Batmobile is still the best batmobile I've ever seen.

A celebration of 75 years of Roosevelt University
Founded on the principles of accessibility and equality, Roosevelt University has been a catalyst for change for 75 years. Explore key milestones and major events in Roosevelt history.
Central YMCA College President Edward "Jim" Sparling resigns rather than supply information on the race and religion of students to the college administration.
Thomas Jefferson College is chartered by the State of Illinois.
62 YMCA faculty resign in support of President Sparling, citing the "illiberal and discriminatory purposes" of the Central YMCA College. Their resignation is followed by a student resolution favoring separation from the YMCA College by a vote of 448 to 2.
The new school is renamed to honor the memory of President Franklin Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt agrees to chair the first Board of Advisors, which includes Albert Einstein, Pearl Buck, Thomas Mann, Ralph Bunch, Marian Anderson, Gunnar Myrdal and Albert Schweitzer.
Classes begin with over 1,000 students, including hundreds of veterans, in a converted office building at 231 Wells Street in Chicago's South Loop. Edward Sparling serves as president until 1964. The three colleges are arts & sciences, commerce, and music.
The Board of Trustees is developed to represent business, labor, cooperatives, faculty and the press, and with the addition of chemist Percy Julian becomes the first racially diverse board of an integrated college.
Eleanor Roosevelt dedicates Roosevelt College "to the enlightenment of the human spirit."
Roosevelt College purchases the Auditorium Building to provide more classroom, lab and office space for the growing academic community. Designed by Louis Sullivan and Dankmar Adler, the building was opened as a grand hotel and theatre in 1889, but had fallen on hard times by the Depression and was converted into a facility for servicemen and women during World War II, with a bowling alley built on the theatre stage.
Classes open in the Auditorium for over 5,000 students. The national press reports on the remarkable racial, religious and ethnic diversity of Roosevelt students, faculty and staff in an era still marked by discrimination and segregation, labeling the College "a model of democracy in education" and "an equality lab."
The Illinois State Legislature investigates Roosevelt College, known for its tolerance of multiple points of view, for "seditious activities" but finds no evidence. Roosevelt is thereafter sometimes called "the little red schoolhouse."
The Chicago Musical College, led by Rudolph Ganz and founded by Florenz Ziegfeld Sr. in 1867, merges with Roosevelt. At that time also Roosevelt College is renamed Roosevelt University.
Funds are raised to restore the original beauty of the Auditorium Building, beginning with the second-floor women's lounge (now the Sullivan Room) and the seventh-floor recital hall (now Ganz Hall). In 1959 the Auditorium Theatre Council is created, headed by trustee Beatrice Spachner, to restore the 4,200-seat theatre.
Roosevelt University is rededicated to honor Eleanor as well as Franklin Roosevelt.
Robert J. Pitchell is appointed Roosevelt's second president, but leaves after a year.
Rolf A. Weil, then dean of the College of Business Administration, is appointed acting president in 1965 and Roosevelt's third president in 1967, a position he holds until his retirement in 1988.
The Division of Continuing Education becomes the College of Continuing Education in 1966, featuring an innovative Bachelor of General Studies degree program for adults. It is named the Evelyn T. Stone College of Continuing Education in 1985, and renamed the College of Professional Studies in 2007.
After a quarter of a century of decline and then restoration, the Auditorium Theatre reopens with a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream by the New York City Ballet.
The College of Business Administration is renamed the Walter E. Heller College of Business Administration.
The 17-story Herman Crown Center opens adjacent to the Auditorium Building with housing for 350 resident students.
The College of Education is established, after 28 years as a department within the College of Arts and Sciences.
After years of extension classes for military, adult and continuing students, Roosevelt creates its first satellite campus in the northwest suburbs at North School in Arlington Heights.
The suburban campus is named for Albert A. Robin and moves to larger quarters in Arlington Heights.
Theodore L. Gross serves as Roosevelt's fourth president from 1988 to 2002.
The Institute of Metropolitan Affairs is created.
The Robin Campus moves to Schaumburg. By 2000 there are over 3,000 students enrolled.
The Center for New Deal Studies is founded in the College of Arts and Sciences.
The theatre program in the College of Arts and Sciences merges with the Chicago Musical College to form the College of Performing Arts. In 2000 the college is renamed the Chicago College of Performing Arts.
The Roosevelt Scholars program begins for honors students.
As enrollment grows in downtown Chicago, Roosevelt leases several floors of the Gage Building, designed by Louis Sullivan and located on Michigan Avenue across from Millennium Park. The facility houses the College of Professional Studies, the College of Education, several departments in the College of Arts and Sciences, and a photography gallery.
Charles R. Middleton becomes Roosevelt's fifth president, serving until 2015.
The Marshall Bennett Institute of Real Estate is founded in the Walter E. Heller College of Business.
The first multi-university residence hall in the country is developed as University Center – an 18-story residence at State Street and Congress Parkway with accommodations for 1,700 students from Roosevelt, Columbia College, Robert Morris University and DePaul University.
The athletic program is revived after 22 years of dormancy, with membership in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference. Within three years the Goodman Center is built, there are 16 men's and women's teams for some 200 student-athletes, and the women's basketball team makes school history by reaching the national championship competition of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
The College of Pharmacy becomes Roosevelt's sixth college and admits its first class at the Schaumburg Campus, featuring an accelerated three-year, year-round program.
The Industrial-Organizational Psychology program creates Roosevelt's first PhD program. Two other doctoral programs include a PsyD in psychology and EdD in education.
The Wabash Building – a 32-story glass-exterior vertical campus of classrooms, labs, student services and student residences, replaces the Herman Crown Building. Housing some 600 students, it is the second-tallest academic building in the United States and the sixth-tallest in the world, winning numerous awards for architectural and environmental innovations.
Ali Malekzadeh is named Roosevelt's sixth president.
Pat Harris becomes the first alumna, African American, and woman to be named Board of Trustees chair
Roosevelt University announces its application to the Higher Learning Commission to integrate Robert Morris University Illinois into Roosevelt. The integrated University would continue as Roosevelt University. Roosevelt plans to create a new college within the University, the Robert Morris Experiential College, in which many of the Robert Morris programs would reside.

Q: How to stop NAO robot to detect people automatically? I am working on a project for NAO recording and I am trying to analyse the sound data. I set the head yaw as well as the pitch angle to a specified degree first and then start the recording process. A problem comes when somebody is facing to its camera, it will move its head and face to the person which is really annoyed   .
It seems that this face contact is run in default, could anybode teach me how to blind it?
ALSO is it possible to stop the robot to shake its body when it rests?
Thankyou.

A: This is probably due to Autonomous Life - you can disable it from Choregraphe, from robot settings, or simply by pressing the chest button twice - see the documentation.

The Shiners by Matt Stefon
July 6, 2017 July 13, 2017 ~ The Paddock Review
POEM: The Shiners
By Matt Stefon
This poem is from
Shaking the Wind by Matt Stefon
https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/shaking-the-wind-by-matt-stefon/
This is a millennial voice bravely cast across the diminishments and inhuman economic displacements of our time. Matt Stefon's crisp, spare, poems present a sensibility acutely aware of "killing time" caught between "dissipation" and "transition". Everywhere, the emblems of loss—a bobber, dumped shiners, voided trees—unflinchingly presented with a blinding lyrical purity. Beautiful, honest, and powerful, these poems give voice to the distress of his generation. The narrator of these poems who tells himself to "fold your rationalizations into yourself" nevertheless finds redemption where he can—in the New England landscape, the brick factory building that survives, re-purposed, coffee and mornings, and, as always, love. I can't wait to see what Matt Stefon writes next.
–David Chin, poet and a professor of English at Penn State Wilkes-Barre
Matt Stefon lives and writes north of Boston. He studied English, American studies, and history at Penn State and religious studies, Chinese and comparative philosophy and religion (with an interest in comparison between Confucianism and neo-Confucianism, American Transcendentalism, and the philosophical theology of Bernard M. Loomer), and American and comparative literature at Boston University. He taught English and humanities at Middlesex Community College for several years, served as religion editor of Encyclopaedia Britannica for eight years, teaches comparative religion in Norwich University's online degree completion division, and serves as associate editor of poetry for West Texas Literary Review. His film criticism has appeared in Killing the Buddha and in Journal of Religion and Film. poems have appeared in Oddball Magazine, Three Line Poetry, the Unrorean, Coup D'Etat, the Penmen Review, Babbling of the Irrational, Wilderness House Literary Review, and Poppy Road Review. He also makes short "poemfilms" of his poems and of select favorite classic poems, and uploads them to his YouTube channel. He has self-published three short ebooks of poetry: The Long Contraction: Twelve Rejected Poems, Winter: Four Poems, and Incandescent Nothing: Short Poems and Aborted Lyrics. This is his first print collection.

Five Good Covers: "Sara Smile" (Hall & Oates)
Posted by Sara Stoudt at 2:00 pm	Add comments
Five Good Covers presents five cross-genre reinterpretations of an oft-covered song.
The timeless tracks of Hall and Oates are often go-to karaoke fodder for non-professionals. They also serve as prime cover material for more seasoned performers. If we asked ten people to name their favorite Hall and Oates song, it is not inconceivable that we would receive ten different answers; throughout their career, they have tallied quite the number of hit songs. But there was a time before their string of gold records. Beyond the oft-covered "I Can't Go for That" and "Rich Girl" stands "Sara Smile," Hall and Oates' first Top 10 hit. It took the duo almost ten years to get into the groove, but this song gave them the momentum they needed.
The prominence of "Sara Smile" covers across a range of genres is evidence of the versatility of its tune, the authenticity of its delivery, and the universality of its message to tell a woman to smile more.
The Bird and the Bee – Sara Smile (Hall & Oates cover)
The Bird and the Bee created a masterful cover album of Hall and Oates hits in 2010. They specifically subtitled it "Volume One"; there is unfortunately yet to be a Volume Two, though a recent cover of Van Halen may give fans hope. Volume One contains many of Hall and Oates' greatest hits, but "Sara Smile" particularly shines. Their cover starts with a classic opening, but then a sultry female voice kicks in. The background instrumentation is simple: drum and a faint, airy synthesizer. In the chorus, the sound swells with aid from powerful background vocals. Overall, the breathy vocals have ample room to show their range in this song, covering the lowest and highest parts of the song with grace.
Boyz II Men – Sara Smile (Hall & Oates cover)
"Sara Smile" also made the cut on Boyz II Men's cover album in 2004. Despite adding a sacrilegious "h" to the title, Boyz II Men's reinterpretation of the song remains faithful to the spirit of the original. The intro is different, utilizing acoustic guitar to set the mood. A syncopated beat features throughout, creating the R&B slow jam vibe that plays to Boyz II Men's strengths. Going from a duo to a trio allows this version to have an extra level of depth; the runs on words like "forever" and "Sara" have more forceful commitment than the original's lighter touch.
Jimmy Wayne – Sara Smile (Hall & Oates cover)
For a country flair to "Sara Smile," Jimmy Wayne delivers. Inspired by the song, Wayne released an entire album called Sara Smile in 2009; it featured this cover, with backup vocals from Hall & Oates themselves. It starts with some quintessential guitar plucking before the intro, and we can already sense the drawl in the opening "hmmm." The rest of the cover stays faithful to the original, with some fiddle for added ambiance.
Big Mountain – Sara Smile (Hall & Oates cover)
Big Mountain's version brings an easy listening vibe in their distinctive reggae style. This band had its big break with their reggae cover of Peter Frampton's "Baby, I Love Your Way" in the early '90s. A decade later, their "Sara Smile" only appears on various reggae compilation records, making it a bit of a hidden gem. The cover is not over the top, leveraging a tasteful application of the traditional reggae bass guitar and beat. The vocals are firmer and more deliberate, sounding more like "Sara Smile!" than the original's more whimsical approach, which at times comes off as more like "Sara, Smile?" The electric guitar, teased throughout, asserts itself in a solo that strongly wraps up the cover.
Boney James – Sara Smile (Hall & Oates cover)
In this saxophone cover by Boney James, the instrumentation is the real star. We know that James has chops (he has won four Grammys), but this cover proves that he has the confidence to walk the line between genres and provide his own instrumental vision of a song that originally relies heavily on the vocals. The sass of the saxophone grows bolder throughout, adding trills and riffs for emphasis. The cover includes some vocals to pay homage to the chorus; it wouldn't be a proper tribute without hearing a call to "Sara" herself.
Cover Me is now on Patreon! If you love cover songs, we hope you will consider supporting us there with a small monthly subscription. There are a bunch of exclusive perks only for patrons: playlists, newsletters, downloads, discussions, polls - hell, tell us what song you would like to hear covered and we will make it happen.

The News Minute | January 26, 2015 | 1:20 pm IST Governor of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, E.S.L. Narasimhan on Monday, expressed confidence that the proposed capital city of AP, to be built in the Guntur District, would be a model for the entire country and perhaps be the best on the planet. Participating in Republic Day celebrations at the Indira Gandhi Municipal Corporation Stadium in Vizag, Narasimhan said that praised the state government for embarking on a major programme of transforming Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Tirupati into mega cities and 13 cities into smart cities. On the Polavaram project, the Governor said that the government was keen on completing the project by 2018 and it was committed to inter-basin transfer of the Krishna and Godavari rivers, a report in The Hindu adds. Mr. Narasimhan and his wife Vimala were received by chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, Deputy chief ministers K.E. Krishna Murthy and N. China Rajappa, Chief Secretary I.Y.R. Krishna Rao, DGP J.V. Ramudu and other dignitaries. Read the full report here. Tweet Follow @thenewsminute

A Burger King customer was arrested after calling 911 over a wrong order at the fast food's branch in Oakland Avenue in White Township, Pennsylvania, local police reports.
Indiana County woman Heather Smith got very upset upon learning that the local Burger King got her order wrong. Instead of taking it with the manager, Smith decided that the matter was a police emergency and dialed 911 to report the incident.
WTAE Pittsburgh reports that while waiting for the state police to arrive after calling 911, 22 year old Smith, who was ordering at the Burger King drive-through lane, went out of her car and "engaged in threatening and yelling behavior." According to the local police handling the case, her aggressive behavior during the incident caused others to be alarmed.
Smith was arrested and charged by the state police with disorderly conduct after arriving at the Burger King branch. After taking the Burger King customer into police custody, the state police learned that Smith also had pending cases in South Carolina.
Burger King hasn't released any official statement regarding the White Township incident.
There were no reports about what Smith originally ordered at the Burger King branch and what particular orders the staff got wrong.
Another case of 911 abuse in a fast food restaurant was reported by the Inquisitr in December when an Arizona man and his wife were arrested for calling 911 because the hash browns they ordered from McDonalds were missing. The woman, Nova Smith allegedly threw the bag of food they ordered towards the manager of the McDonalds branch in Mesa, Arizona upon realizing that the branch didn't give them the hash brown that was supposed to be included in their order. The man, Michael Smith went behind the counter to confront the staff of the fast food chain. Both were charged with assault and disorderly conduct by the local police.
Customer violence at Burger King is not very uncommon. In New Year's Day in 2005, another Burger King customer from DuBois, Pennsylvania berated and showed obscene gestures to the staff after learning that the Burger King branch had no french fries left. Upon seeing the employees taking down his license plate, 22 year old Greg Luttman put his truck in reverse and almost ran over the fast food employees. He was stopped and arrested by the local police at a highway a short distance from the Burger King branch and was charged with assault, reckless endangerment and other offenses.
