Reading Films Critically
Films, like literary texts, can be decoded or "read" to uncover multiple levels of meaning. While cinema uses language to communicate meaning, it also adds visual imagery, movement and sound. The rhetoric of film becomes more complex than the rhetoric of literature; "figures of speech" become "figures of speech, image, sound and movement." Like literary texts, motion pictures employ different narrative styles and use punctuation devices to create meaning by linking and separating parts of the film.
To enrich your understanding of the language of motion pictures, this brief guide names and describes some central elements of the rhetoric of cinema. Many of the elements described below are used in popular feature films.
ELEMENTS OF FILM:
In literary texts, we speak of the contributing parts as words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, chapters. In film, we speak of
Frame: A single photograph from a strip of film. A "freeze frame" is a shot that is reprinted a number of times on the filmstrip which, when projected, gives the illusion of a still photograph.
Shot (take): A single unedited, uncut strip of film; images are recorded continuously from the time the camera starts to the time it stops.
Scene: A unit of film composed of a number of interrelated shots, joined by an editor. A scene is usually unified by a location, incident or minor dramatic climax.
Sequence: A unit of film usually composed of a number of interrelated scenes, and leading to a major climax.
THE CAMERA: FRAMING, ANGLE, POSITION AND FOCUS:
Framing: The use of the edges of the film frame to select and compose what will be visible on screen.
Mise-en-scene: All of the elements placed in front of the camera to be photographed (setting, lighting, characters, etc.).
ANGLE/TYPE OF SHOT:
Bird's-eye view: Extreme high-angle shot; the camera is directly or almost directly above the image photographed.
High angle shot: the camera is high above the image photographed.
Eye-level: the camera is about five or six feet above the ground—at about eye level of someone of average height.
Low-angle shot: the camera is below the image photographed.
Wide-angle shot: the camera uses a lens of short focal length. This affects a scene's perspective by distorting straight lines near the edges of the frame and by exaggerating the distance between foreground and background planes. The wide-angle shot often creates a disorienting sense for the viewer; horror and mystery films may frequently employ this technique.
Point-of-view shot: Any shot taken from the vantage point of a character in the film. Also known as first-person camera, "POV" shot.
Handheld camera: The use of the camera operator's body as a camera support, either holding it by hand or using a harness.
Extreme Close-Up: minutely detailed view of an object or person. An extreme close-up of an actor may include only her eyes or mouth.
Close-up: A detailed view of person or object, usually without much context. A close-up of an actor usually includes only his head. Romantic scenes or introspective scenes often use close-ups.
Medium shot: A relatively close shot, revealing a moderate amount of detail. A medium shot of a figure generally includes the body from the knees or waist up.
Two-shot: a medium shot with two actors. Variation: three shot
Long shot: Includes an amount of picture within a frame which roughly corresponds to the proscenium arch of live theater.
Extreme long shot: A panoramic view of an exterior location, photographed from a great distance, often as far as one-quarter mile away.
Establishing shot: A shot, often an extreme long shot, which sets up or establishes the locale , central characters and/or theme of a film. ("Establishing scenes," usually first scenes, convey the same effect.)
Tracking shot: The camera moves through space horizontal to the ground on a moving support. This type of shot creates the sense that a camera may be following a character.
Panning shot (pan): The camera moves right and left on a stationery tripod, and scans the visual space horizontally.
Deep focus: All planes of distance from close-up outward are in focus. Soft Focus: All but one distance range is blurred and out-of-focus, calling visual attention to the plane that is clear. This technique is often used with close-ups.
Sometimes cinematographers use filters, transparent or translucent pieces of glass or gelatin placed in front of the camera or printer lens. Filters alter the quantity or quality of light; colored filters may be used to influence the perceptions of viewers. A golden image may suggest nostalgia, while a bluish image may evoke sadness or mystery.
LIGHTING: is used to evoke mood and to direct the viewer's attention to a particular aspect of the frame. "Hard lighting," for example, creates a stark contrast between the lighted and shadowed areas of the scene. and may be used more frequently in realistic dramas. In contrast, "soft lighting" is more subtle and may be employed commonly in romantic comedies or melodramas.
Many Hollywood films use the style of continuity editing, which seeks to maintain a continuous and clear sense of narrative. Some films, however, employ discontinuity editing, which presents a much more disordered sense of temporal and spatial relationships. Most of the techniques listed below are used in continuity editing.
PLAYING WITH TIME:
Flashback: the interruption of the present by a shot or series of shots representing the past.
Flashforward: The interruption of the present by a shot or series of shots representing the future.
LINKING AND SEPARATING TWO OR MORE SHOTS:
Cut: The splicing of two strips of film together.
Jump Cut: An abrupt transition between shots, which is disorienting to the continuity of time/space. "Jump cuts" are used to create a sense of motion and action in the narrative.
Shot/reverse shot: Two framings edited together, alternating characters in a conversation.
Superimposition: The exposure of more than one image on the same filmstrip.
Montage: Juxtaposition of images emphasizing a dynamic, often discontinuous relationship between shots.
Cross-cutting: Editing that alternates shots of two or more lines of action going on in different places, usually simultaneously. Sometimes film editors will attempt to create a sense of continuity by using the technique of "match-on-action," in which two different scenes will be connected with a similar action by a character (e.g. closing a car door, opening a window).
Fade: The fade-out is the slow fade of the picture from normal brightness to a black screen. A fade-in is the slow brightening of the picture from black to normal brightness.
Wipe: A transition between shots in which a line passes across the screen, eliminating the first shot as it goes and replacing it with the next one.
Dissolve: A transition between two shots during which the second image gradually appears as a superimposition until the two are evenly blended, and the first image gradually disappears.
Andrea Walsh adapted this hand-out from Jennifer Carrell. Some of the definitions are taken from David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson, Film Art: An Introduction, 2nd ed. (New York: Alfred A.Knopf, 1986).


October 18-January 20, 12:30-9 p.m. daily. Dark Segment is an exhibition of works created during a yearlong investigation by interdisciplinary artist Hong Hong, supported by the Edward C. & Ann T. Roberts Foundation Creation of New Works Grant. Continuing an ongoing exploration of large-scale papermaking, the exhibit comprises compositions created using whole and torn sheets of handmade papers. Rooted in her research of the temporal parameters of human perception, and its effects on social, cultural, and environmental systems, the exhibition changes over time. Hong will utilize natural means of change (bringing the paper outside so the sun bleaches the color away) as well as human intervention (the artist rearranging her compositions on walls.) The result is a gallery that evolves and changes over time, referencing how time affects perception, memory, and social connections.


I went to therapy today. Perhaps I shouldn't admit that in a public forum, but I hope those of you that read this don't think that seeking help when you're struggling is something to be ashamed of. I'm not going to go into the details of what caused me to end up going to see a stranger and declaring "I feel like I'm loosing my mind", suffice to say that I was entangled in the web of a passive aggressive.
Passive aggressive behavior is really hard to deal with. It's acts of manipulation, done quietly so that you barely realize you're being manipulated at all – until you notice that things that mattered to you have disappeared from the agenda, your social circle has shrunk and why is it that you're living your life at someone else's beck and call? I woke up to this, but some of the people around me hadn't – they were still being manipulated. And so I started to doubt myself, was it me that had the problem? Was I being unreasonable? Therapy reassured me I wasn't. In effect, I'm paying $100 every six weeks for someone to listen to my complaining and give me impartial advice. Here's some of what I've learned.
Before I found myself in therapy, I didn't know what passive-aggressive meant. If you don't either, Wikipedia is a good place to start. Sound like anyone you know?
Obviously if your boss is passive aggressive, you're going to either have to find a new job or learn how to deal. If it's someone who won't modify their behavior, for instance a "friend" who as a result isn't their passive aggressiveness isn't really, your lab partner, or a coworker… it's different. Dealing with a passive aggressive is exhausting, so if you can avoid them – do.
A passive aggressive might seek to "Divide and Conquer", so if you hear something from a passive aggressive about someone else, it's worth speaking to that someone to find out what's going on there. Why would they do that? Because the bigger the group, the harder it is to manipulate. By splitting you up, the passive aggressive makes you vulnerable to their manipulation. For this reason, it's best to avoid being alone with a passive aggressive. I lost count of the times when I agreed to or offered something when alone or on the phone to the passive aggressive and my boyfriend said, "why would you agree to / offer that?" and I didn't really know.
Passive aggressives often can't believe they're at fault; it's always someone else behaving unfairly or putting on them in some way. This makes it hard to present a more balanced world-view to them. In my case, I know I've been cast as the bad guy and been complained about. The fact that I would admit some fault where she surely doesn't has no doubt worked against me. That has been very upsetting, however I hope my integrity, intentions and the strength of my other relationships speaks for me. If someone's never at fault, never in the wrong – but frequently wronged – doubt them. No-one is that perfect.
Ironically, the best way to deal with a passive aggressive is to be passive aggressive in return. I don't enjoy that, but it can be a useful skill to have. For instance, when you passive aggressive lab partner tries to get you to do the bulk of your joint report be passive aggressive back; tell them you could but you'd have to work on it at 12pm because that's when you usually do, or that you're really busy this week and won't do a good job.
Note – passive aggressiveness can be a healthy behavior in some situations – what I'm talking about here is when it's taken to excess and becomes a way of life.

Movie Review: Avengers: Infinity War
by Alice Ginevra Micheli - April 30, 2018 May 2, 2018
Article By: Alice-Ginevra Micheli
19 movies and 10 years in, Marvel has finally released one of the most anticipated films of all time; one that combines all the superheroes we've grown to know and love, as well as bringing to the front a villain that has been teased in his grandeur and awesome power for years. With all the expectations attached, is it possible for the film to live up to all of them?
Avengers: Infinity War brings together the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy and other heroic faces as they face off against galactic baddie Thanos, attempting to stop him before he collects all the infinity stones and lays waste to (half) the universe as we know it.
With about 35 main characters, at least three storylines and a mass of star power to deal with, it's a miracle this film was even made, let alone with any semblance of quality. However, the resulting product is one of excitement, exhilaration, emotion, and visceral power that is bound to entertain even the most skeptical of movie-goers.
First, praise should be given to the directors, Joe and Anthony Russo, for being able to wrangle all the characters in what seems like an effortless manner. They have managed to keep an element of individuality in the world of each superhero. Black Panther feels as vibrant in this film as he did in his stand-alone film; The Guardians of the Galaxy keep their plucky nature and care-free personalities intact, and the Avengers feel as epically superhero-esque as ever. The audience is able to traverse different worlds and characters and still keep a stronghold in every scene; never feeling rushed or left behind by the plot.
Unsurprisingly, the film is also assisted by some spectacular visual effects. From the rendering of the great purple titan Thanos – from bulging muscles down to the smallest facial tic – to showing off the great expanse of space, there isn't a moment that seems sloppy in its depiction. While some may complain that it's a big CGI spectacle, without any grounding in reality, there's an argument to be made for the pure energy it creates both within the film and the viewer. It easily illustrates just how far the heroes have come with their own powers, as well as the talents of the filmmakers behind them.
In addition, the solid cast, giving strong performances all around, only aid in boosting the Marvel blockbuster, as actors who might have been in roles for almost a decade still get a chance to bring something new to their performances.
However, Josh Brolin deserves significant commendation for his turn as the foreboding antagonist Thanos. Bringing not only violence and physical prowess to the character, but vulnerability and emotion as well, this allows him to create what is probably the best Marvel villain to date. With all the destruction and power-hungry force behind him, there is still an element of humanity that elicits an understanding from the audience.
As mentioned, the rest of the cast delivers, especially when strong personalities are finally allowed to meet and mingle as a result of the oncoming threat. Robert Downey Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch's scenes together are magnetic as they both clash and cooperate as two headstrong leaders, Dr. Strange and Iron Man. Chris Hemsworth as Thor brings a delightful dark humor to the Guardians' otherwise happy-go-lucky vibe, and the Wakanda/Captain America & co. collaboration is a sight to be witnessed and possibly the highlight of the film.
The choreography of the fight scenes has also improved, with the Russo's having replaced their maligned hand-held schtick with a much more polished and sustained manner of combat sequences. There is a lot less jumping around from cut to cut, and a lot more focus on the characters and their particular set of skills, resulting in a more visceral experience all around.
Avengers: Infinity War has the high stakes, action, excitement and great storytelling that is sure to please any Marvel fan. It's history in the making that is sure to leave every viewer with a sense of longing not only for Part 2, but also for the next phase within the MCU. Go experience the awesomeness of this movie, feel the feelings and don't forget – stick around until the end of the credits.
MG Rating: 9.5/10

African universities need a systematic change in teaching and learning approaches to help lecturers deal with growing student numbers and inadequate facilities, and to produce graduates who can make meaningful contributions in today's knowledge-based economies. This message was a key driver of discussions at a pedagogical leadership training session aimed at lecturers in the social sciences from five countries in Africa, held in Nairobi, Kenya, from 8-14 July. The session marked the start of a three-and-a-half-year pilot training programme for higher education lecturers that aims to catalyse systematic change in teaching and learning at all levels in African universities. The programme, known as the Partnership for Pedagogical Leadership in Africa or PEDAL, is to be implemented by the Partnership for African Social and Governance Research (PASGR) with funding from the United Kingdom's Strategic Partnerships for Higher Education Innovation and Reform. Participating institutions at this stage include the University of Ibadan in Nigeria, the University of Ghana, Uganda Martyrs University, the University of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania and Kenya's Egerton University. "This programme aims to transform teaching and learning in African universities through innovation," said Beatrice Muganda, director for higher education at PASGR. Muganda, who leads the implementation of the programme, said that the uptake of PEDAL could result in more innovative teaching and learning methods, assisting in the development of higher-level thinking, greater innovative capacities and in the better application of content-specific knowledge and skills in different contexts. Muganda said PEDAL will eventually extend its reach to other universities. The target, she said, is to train over 1,000 university teaching staff who will use this initiative to deliver social science programmes to benefit over 7,000 students. Some of the courses targeted in the training included research and public policy, gender and development studies, refugee and migration studies, economics and development studies. Paul Effah, president of Radford University College, based in Ghana, said there was a need for university lecturers in Africa to be better equipped so that learning becomes more rewarding. "Most of our university lecturers have knowledge in technical skills but that does not necessarily translate into good teaching," said Effah.
"Sustainable development requires both the sciences and the arts to work together and complement each other for execution of development agendas," according to Professor Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, vice president of the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences. Speaking on the sidelines of the academy's recent conference on Sustainable African Cities held in Accra, Ghana during the first week of July, Sefa-Dedeh said the arts and sciences cannot work in isolation and their amalgamation is necessary in sustainable development. He said innovations developed by university academics and researchers from the scientific world in fields such as agriculture, health and engineering need academics from the arts to help the public and policy makers make sense of research and find mechanisms to roll out technologies. Sefa-Dedeh said that the academy has sought to develop its service to Ghana through collaborations with other national bodies on the essential issues affecting science and humanities, governance, and the formulation and implementation of policies. The academy has also established formal and informal links with Ghanaian universities that enable collaboration on a number of activities concerning research and development. "We have also undertaken assessment of issues especially in the higher education sector making workable recommendations for improvement," noted Sefa-Dedeh. He said the academy had, for example, registered its concerns over requirements for the pre-university science and mathematics courses, which were now drawing larger numbers of students to the fields. Delegates at the conference, organised by the Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences in collaboration with the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, Network of African Science Academies and the Academy of Science of South Africa, endorsed the need for increased interaction and collaboration between the arts and sciences to enable Africa to find local solutions to challenges facing urbanisation on the continent. Sefa-Dedeh called on governments in Africa to support academies which could, through think tanks and other fora, respond to a range of emerging development challenges such as climate change. He challenged other academies in Africa to form smart collaborations and share knowledge to advance development agendas on the continent. "That's how we can achieve sustainable development: if the humanities and science work together," said Sefa-Dedeh.
Professor Victoria Ngumi is the new Vice-Chancellor of Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (Jkuat). Prof Ngumi replaces Prof Mabel Imbuga who has retired after serving the institution for the last 10 years. Until her appointment, Prof Ngumi was deputy vice-chancellor, administration, at the University. In her previous post, she was responsible for corporate planning, staff recruitment, training of administrative staff, promotions and discipline, personnel administration, health care services, registry administration, transport, and central services. The new appointment, dated July 18, was made by Education Cabinet Secretary Amina Mohamed. Ms Mohamed has also appointed Prof Romanus Odhiambo Otieno as the new vice chancellor of Meru University. Prof Otieno replaces Prof Japheth Magambo whose term was not renewed following deadly student riots at the institution early this year. Before his appointment, Prof Otieno was deputy vice-chancellor in charge of academic affairs at JKUAT. He headed the academic division, which is tasked with planning of academic programmes, preparation of syllabuses, and teaching. The office is also responsible for student's affairs— including admissions, keeping records, and welfare. In their new capacities, Prof Ngumi and Prof Otieno will act as the chief executives of their respective universities.


It's puzzling at times. You do what you're supposed to do.
You're on your p's and q's.
You even have good blood sugars before you go to bed. And then you wake up with your blood sugar sky high.
Frustrating. Can even get you down.
And sometimes doctors can't even figure it out.
They may blame you like it's your fault.
To make matters even more complicated, the diagnostic criteria for diabetes keeps getting stricter and stricter.
It used to be (before 1998) that fasting blood sugar levels ABOVE 140 mg/dl were diabetic. Now it's 126.
And normal fastings USED TO BE 70 – 110. Now they're 70-100. With 100 – 125 being prediabetic, abnormal fasting ranges.
Could you imagine how many people the pharma companies could get to take their drugs if they lowered the normal fasting even more to let's say 90 or 95 mg/dl as the cutoff, and the diabetes diagnosis criteria to a fasting of above 110?
I think you know where I'm going here… I digress.
Type 2 diabetes can cause your body to overshoot during the late night and morning hours.
Out of control fastings could mean one of 2 things: The Dawn Phenomenon or The Simogyi Effect.
Now both of these are pretty scientific terms but I'll give break them down for you.
Dawn phenomenon is due more to insulin resistance and your liver producing extra sugar.
And issues with insulin production or resistance can cause problems here and cause your blood sugar to go up in the morning hours.
The Somogyi Effect is more of a rebounding effect from low blood sugar. This is seen more in patients who are taking insulin.
Or this is something that might happen if you have a snack at night. Usually with Somogyi you will have headaches or night sweats.
A good way to know for sure, when you have problems with your fasting… is to test your blood sugar at 3am.
If your blood sugar is low and the next morning high – usually that's The Somogyi Effect.
If it is high at 3 am and then high in the morning – usually that's Dawn Phenomenon.
Now I'm not a doctor, so I can't prescribe medications. But the straight forward answer is address the insulin resistance.
That is usually one of the issues with type 2 diabetes you CAN control.
I know some doctors who have recommended a low carb diet for people who have trouble with fastings after having good blood sugar numbers before bed. Their theory is when you have too much glucose stores in the liver, this can happen.
I'm not a big fan of the low carb approach, but you could also try to reduce your carb as some of the doctors that I work with have advised their patients.
Prior to using any of this advice please consult with your doctor.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Manchester United future addressed by Jose Mourinho
Man Utd striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has scored nine in his last 10 fixtures and Jose Mourinho wants to keep him for a second season.
Samuel Luckhurst
Jose Mourinho has hinted Zlatan Ibrahimovic could end his career at Manchester United.
Ibrahimovic, 35, has scored 10 times in his last nine games and is one short of matching the haul of 17-goal United's top scorer last season, Anthony Martial.
It is understood the Swede has contemplated moving to the United States in the summer - even though United have the option of extending his contract to 2018 - with LA Galaxy interested in Ibrahimovic.
Mourinho only managed Ibrahimovic for one season at Internazionale and is determined to see the former Paris Saint-Germain goalscorer end his career in the Premier League instead of the MLS or Chinese Super League.
"He will end his career on a high, which is amazing," Mourinho said. "He's not ending it in America or China; he's ending it on the top of the top.
"I'm really pleased with him; his record is really good, and he can improve. With no penalties [there was one against Southampton], it's amazing too because normally the other guys who are top scorers score a lot of penalties.
United give Mkhitaryan injury update
"He had one penalty in 17 Premier League matches, so I couldn't be happier with him."
Phil Jones suggested last week United players needed to offer more goals to ease the pressure on Ibrahimovic, with Juan Mata and Paul Pogba second on the list of highest scorers this term with five.
Ibrahimovic has plundered 16 overall but Mourinho is not concerned by how dependent United are on their No.9.
"It's no problem for me," the Portuguese added. "I'm really happy for him because maybe some people think he's not a top scorer any more at 35 years old, not anymore because the Premier League is not La Liga, but 35 for him is the same as 25.
"In La Liga, it's the same as in the Premier League - he plays well, he scores goals and I'm very happy for him."

Drawbacks: The robot may encounter difficulties when it comes to clean thicker carpets. Also, it's not the most silent model you can buy.
The main purpose of this review is to give you more useful information about the Neato Botvac Connected Wi-Fi Enabled. In comparison to the previous versions, this model comes with some upgrades that will considerably ease your work. Designed and manufactured by Neato Robotics, this particular robot can efficiently clean hard floors without needing your assistance. At the same time, it comes it a long battery life, a Wi-Fi connectivity and many other smart features that worth every penny. For more details about this robotic vacuum, read the lines below and see why is it such a great option if you want to have a clean home at all times.
The model comes with an innovative D-shape design that differentiates it from the other units available. This shape allows the robot vacuum to clean closer to walls and efficiently eliminate the dirt from the corners. Although it's heavier than other models, it weighs 9 pounds, the cleaner is slim enough to slide under your furniture, being 3.9 inches tall. On the top, you will see a little screen and the touch controls that let you set the robot according to your preferences. Here you will also find two large buttons for spot cleaning and full home cleaning. As about the dust bin, this is also located on the top, being very easy to lift out and empty. All in all, the black finish of this robotic vacuum cleaner is very attractive and it makes a great addition to any home.
As about the performance, the model is a great choice if you want to make sure there won't be any dirt left behind. The LaserSmart navigation system is quite intelligent, featuring a real-time object detection. Once you start the unit, it begins to scan and map the room in order to find the most efficient path for cleaning it. Therefore, it sweeps the room in both rows and columns, while it also covers the edges of the walls. In what concerns the cleaning performance, the robotic vacuum uses a combination of suction and brushing. The unit features one combo brush with tough bristles, one spiral blade brush, and one side brush. This means that Neato can easily remove any debris on various types of floors, being also a great option if you have pets. Furthermore, the Lithium-ion battery provides up to 120 minutes of continuous cleaning, and once it runs out of battery, the unit automatically returns to the docking station. For a full recharge, it needs only 180 minutes, resuming cleaning where it left off.
The Neato Connected comes with many advanced features that are meant to revolutionize the robotic vacuum cleaners. With the help of the Wi-Fi connectivity, you can remotely control the unit via the Neato app. The app is available for both iOS or Android devices and it allows you to program it to start cleaning at a certain time, as well as to set it according to your preferences. The app is very user-friendly and it basically replaces the remote control. Other great features worth mentioning are the obstacle and stair sensors, as well as the full bin indicator that announces you it's time to empty it. Additionally, the model features an ultra performance filter that eliminates the dust and keeps your air clean for the entire family.
Besides the robot and the docking station, when you purchase the robot you will also receive the brushes, the power cord, one spare filter, boundary markers, and a filter cleaning tool. Therefore, you won't need any extra accessories to use the robot because it comes fully equipped. Additionally, you will also receive the user manual that will guide you in learning more about what this robot can do. As about the warranty, the product is guaranteed for a period of one year, so in case there are any manufacturing defects, you don't have to worry because your purchase will be well taken care of. Also, for any further information, you can contact the customer support or visit the official website where you will find other useful details on this model.


Quick brick and quick write before heading off to work.
Sammy did the whole feign aggressiveness again while on leash while on the way home from our run. I wish he would cut that out. It only bothers me to the point that people get afraid when I know how cool he is actually. Back to the dog trainer. This is going to lead me to say that sometimes people need people trainers as well. I question the things we teach each other sometimes. But hey, it takes all types to make the world go 'round. So live and let live.
I find that I'm so independent I'm drawn to strong willed people. Somewhere down the road sometimes I see that it's not so much strength as it is ego. Then of course I question my own. I put myself in check. Comes with age and experience I suppose.
Have you ever read the Janell Cannon's children's picture book, Verdi? It was one of my favorites - I used to read it to the kids along with her other books, but Verdi I could relate to and always softly made me laugh at myself and to myself in my heart. It's a story about a whippersnapper adolescent python who loved to leap and bound and dive into the mud. He would always look at the long, heavy older pythons and say, "Hey! Why are you wasting your time just laying around? There's so much life to live!" And, in turn, they would look at him and think, "You're going to poke an eye out, kid!" He would scoff.
You can guess how the story goes, but I will let you seek out this story and peruse it as looking at the illustrations alone make it worth seeking out.
All her books are like that. Find them.
So the question to ego is, is it worth it? Is it worth it to lose relationships? Is it worth it to put yourself in the line of fire? Is it worth it to be uncompromising or always defending?
Some people defend even when they don't have to. And some cannot take what they dish out. Not at all. They are unable to cooperate. And, yet, they don't want to be left alone even if they say they do or are okay with it. It's just not true. Not really.
Here's the thing - I would never really call anyone crazy, not for real. I'm sure there are plenty of people that call me crazy for the things I do and the ways I do them - ways in which only another aquarian could understand... if I believed in that sort of thing, that is.
Crazy people, people that sacrifice all and rack up the awards need the validation. And, it's important. You can physically show people your award and say, hey, I've done this and here is the evidence. They build credibility this way and either they become stronger for it or, if it is a collaborative project, others (friends, partners, the little league, society, etc.) become stronger for it. This is progress. There are many crazy people we must thank for our progress - flip side is, there are a lot of crazy people that progressed in the wrong direction as well. Ego feels good, check.
Sometimes, often times, there is collateral damage. Is it worth it? An internal battlefield can occur in intense situations. Everyone (read: alphas) will think their right. So I want to soften. Follow the way of the water and not the rock.
It's really a philosophical question and the answer will change with each endeavor, sometimes within moments while the endeavor is in process. So no need for an answer now. And we have to be able to sit with that. Store that away, but make sure it is there when we need it.
This sort of thing is isolating, as well. So, dear reader, pick and choose what you want to be crazy over well.
If I were to put my crazy into something deliberately, I'd say I'd want to make people happy and feel good. Honestly, I'm not so sure I am doing a very good job at that right now. Time to re-evaluate. How to balance personal goals, team goals and be cheery all at the same time. Never been my strong suit I guess so I am constantly honing and withdrawing and trying again.
Verdi, the little spry yellow snake, one day finds himself growing green. Much to his dismay he tries to cover it in mud which flakes off and he tries to scrub it off with leaves which of course doesn't work. He finds himself resting lazily and heavily in the sun one day when he spies a few babes coming through whipping themselves about in the trees. He musters up the energy to show them a cool trick they may like flinging himself up into the air proving also to his own self he still can and does so with joy.


A brain aneurysm is a bulging, weak area in the wall of an artery that supplies blood to the brain. In most cases, a brain aneurysm causes no symptoms. In up to 50% of the cases, however, it can be fatal. Dr. Jayson Neil with the HCA Midwest Health Neuroscience Institute at Research Medical Center discusses the signs and symptoms of an aneurysm, and provides an update on Blue Valley High School football coach Eric Driskell.


CLEVELAND (AP) – Ubaldo Jimenez has passed his physical, completing a trade that sends him from the Colorado Rockies to the Cleveland Indians.
The surprising Indians announced during Sunday's game against Kansas City that the deal was done. They hope Jimenez will anchor their rotation as they try to overtake first-place Detroit in the American League Central.
Colorado gets minor league pitchers Alex White and Joe Gardner, first baseman Matt McBride and a player to be named, who is expected to be Drew Pomeranz. White and Pomeranz are considered the top two pitching prospects in Cleveland's organization.
Jimenez's physical took place at the Indians' spring training complex in Arizona.

Terry Pratchet fan
Author Topic: Terry Pratchet fan (Read 2827 times)
Rodders
Been a fan of Mr. P for quite a while. This is the first part of a 15,000 word jaunt I did a few years ago as a tribute to the great man.
be as brutal as you like; I have no feelings.
On the outskirts of a hazy galaxy swims "The Great A' Tuin" who carries on his back the four elephants that carry the Discworld.
But our story starts on a different world at a slightly different time.
That's where the dissimilarities end and the similarities begin. In fact just before the similarities start to begin a dissimilarity that verges ever so slightly on similarity had just ended. This made a nice flowing link.
One similarity that is apparently quite dissimilar in more ways than one is the flatness of the surface of this particular world. Although some would say this was an illusion created by the horizon, which was never in the same place twice, and the world was in fact ovoid in shape. But they are very rarely listened to. The people who are listened to make even less sense as they say that the world has no end but goes on forever in every direction except at one point where it seems to rise up and around the onlooker until it is above them. It could be viewed as a sort of cylinder that has bent round to put both its ends together. Well, we will see. As a strange aside these people are only listened to in the future, as at this point in the story they are not in possession of all the facts.
With no elephants to carry it and the complete lack of a turtle that doesn't need to breath it was just a flat world. Or not, depending on your viewpoint.
This world was hanging precariously over an empty void that had nothing in it for quite a long way. Not infinity, you understand, but just a long way. If it were infinity it would have to be everywhere and not just below this flat, (possibly looped cylinder) slowly spinning planet. No. Below this planet was just a lot of nothing and not much else. It is difficult to quantify, as it held nothing. If it had something in it then it could have been measured but it didn't. Even so it was big. Definitely not infinity though. That would be silly.
And so with all dissimilar similarities out of the way, nothing for anything to fall into and absolutely no case for plagiarism within 20,000 miles our story is allowed to begin.
It will get interesting later.
"A journey of a thousand miles starts with one footstep. But it can end up in a boat ride if you're lucky." (The sayings of Aginsune)
Octsembry* started in obscurity. But then every day starts that way. Four and a half hours later the Sun emerged from a lank horizon looking for all it's worth like an overheated penny behind a smoked glass screen. By 'seven drums' a cool breeze had pushed itself into motion. The day promised to be long. It never broke a promise. It just broke.
*(Every culture in the Universe has a month with an 'r' in it. The Gilgamons, for it is of they that I speak, only have four months but five seasons. The months run like this; May, Grunge, Octsembry and Milk Carton. The seasons start at the coldest part of the year and go right through. They are Spring, Sprang, Warminup, Nicenow, and Wetime. Spring is very cold and at the moment has Milk Carton in it. Octsembry was halfway into Wetime. Because the months don't line up properly with the seasons they have to run in two circles. The outer circle has the months on it and the inner circle has the seasons. At the end of each day the outer circle is moved one point around the inner circle. The points relate to the days and parts of the season. Each month has 44 days. It's quite straightforward.)
Ethel Herangablade had been talking for a while. She stood face into the light wind, thin golden hair billowing behind her bronzed shoulders. The age lines, etched by the harsh elements, in her face mimicked the battle scarred hide armour. Leather thongs pulled tight against the now sagging flesh. Time, it could be said, had been kind to her. The muscles any way, the flesh holding them in all the right places had it's own ideas on the subject.
Time had been kind in other ways. She was still alive after all. She also had most of her faculties. The ones she had used the most in her exotic life at least. Ones like agility, daring, cunning, bravery and the really useful one... anger powered frenzied knife wielding.

Re: Terry Pratchet fan
Before you read further, let me tell you, I'm not well-read in this type of sci-fi. Don't know Terry Pratchet, though I did read some of Douglas Adams and this seems to be somewhat in teh same genre of sci-fi as his. My comments: I love the way you use the language, the words themselves, to give the reader the 'feel' for these worlds. It amused me as well, though I wasn't rolling on the floor. Do you keep up the same flow throughout? Seems it would be very hard to continue writing in that vein, and I'm not sure I personally could keep up as a reader without going crazy - but I do BELIEVE that all the Douglas Adams' fans I know would really love this...
I haven't read Terry Prachet either, but I am a very big Douglas Adams fan. I found much of this rather cumbersome. (sorry ) The best paragraphs were the last three, and if I were you I would scrap the rest and start there. The similarity/dissimilarity stuff doesn't flow well and the humour does not translate. I do like the months of the year bit. Action is always crucial and really what people are wanting to read, so immediately having your peep doing something would be great, perhaps by falling through that weird voidlike structure,etc.
A good start.
« Last Edit: January 21, 2006, 12:21:27 AM by Sheree »
Thanks Goldanon and Sheree. You are right about the first bit. As I was pasting it here I thought the same thing. From the last three paragraphs it tends to run the same all the way through. There are a few more characters that enter the story and it does get weird at one point with aliens dropping in.

I love looking at little notes or letters from close friends I've kept over the years. Sending someone a handwritten note is so much more personal than typing it out and sending it off into cyberspace.
12 Months of Neon Love takes the idea of getting a message across to a whole new level. Featuring 12 messages of love from Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse, Nirvana and the Beatles to name a few, 12 Months of Neon Love is an exciting project by Victoria Lucas' and Richard William Wheater. Aptly beginning on Valentine's Day last year, the project has come to an end on the same day this year.


Under the right circumstances, financial inclusion, stability, integrity, and consumer protection (collectively referred to as I-SIP) can be positively related, and the failure to consider any one of these objectives can lead to problems. Since 2012, CGAP has been exploring the relationships, or linkages, among these key objectives of financial policy making. We have analyzed several policy interventions (laws and regulations) in South Africa, Pakistan, Russia, and the Philippines to better understand how the four objectives are related and how policy makers have been balancing them. Based on this research, CGAP developed an approach to designing or adjusting financial-sector policies that involves identifying, managing, and optimizing the linkages among the I-SIP objectives triggered by a given policy intervention: the I-SIP Approach.
The Philippines I-SIP research reaffirmed the usefulness of following a systematic approach. Where a systematic approach was followed, whether intentionally or not, more positive effects on all four I-SIP objectives could be observed. When I-SIP propositions had not been considered, it was more difficult for policy makers to use a proportionate approach to regulate and supervise financial-sector actors.
The case of the Philippines is unique in that the country already has an established, structured consultative process and associated multi-stakeholder coordination and implementation bodies that develop national strategies for microfinance, microinsurance, and financial inclusion. This provides a strong foundation for integrating the I-SIP Approach into regular policy making in the country.
The analysis and findings presented in this report should be useful to national policy makers as they work to advance financial inclusion in their countries and face challenges of balancing this objective with the objectives of stability, integrity, and consumer protection.

Q: Rewrite url path to new path using .htaccess in my htaccess file, i have this, that is supposed to remove the index.php? from the path and make the path look like this: video/:AccountId/:recordId however something isnt working correctly. it doesnt re-write anymore and i can only make the url work by having the index.php? tag in it, so instead it looks like: video/index.php?/:AccountId/:recordId
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  # !IMPORTANT! Set your RewriteBase here and don't forget trailing and leading

  RewriteBase /video
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

I cant just remove it because the clients already have the video/:AccountId/:recordId i dont want to have to email blast them to change something on their end to make this work, i was hoping too that maybe someone would know how to redirect that url to the one that includes the index.php? because overall i dont care that its there or not, its a hold over from previous teams.

A: With your shown samples, please try following htaccess rules file. Make sure your htaccess file is present along with video OR first level of URL folder, also make sure index.php is present inside that folder eg: `.htaccess and video are existing together AND index.php is inside video folder).

COMMENT: Stamping out skinny models...but is the industry doing enough?
Cathy Donohue
If you're in France and are working as a model, you better not be too skinny.
That's the ruling made by the National Assembly in Paris on Friday last, May 5. Indeed, catwalk kings and queens looking for work will now need to provide a doctor's note proving they're not medically underweight.
Yes, instead of allocating a minimum BMI for practising models (as has been done via similar legislation in the likes of Germany and Spain) it will be at the discretion of each model's doctor to decide if he/she weighs enough to work.
Missguided renamed after being bought out
This might seem like a radical course of action but eating disorders have become so rampant in the fashion industry, new measures are clearly needed.
So the question now is not so much if the move merited (it is) - and more so, is it even enough?
We know there has been years and years of favouritism towards thinner and thinner models - the same models who look incredibly young and sport jutting ribcages, thigh gaps, and pokey collarbones.
Let's not forgot - as a glance at high-street mannequins and sensational advertisements will attest - that this issue is most certainly not confined to the catwalk either.
H&M to close 170 stores this year due to dropping sales
So it would be naive to assume that this law will automatically transform archaic industry attitudes. However, at least it seems a gentle, small step in the right direction.
In 2015, model of the moment, Gigi Hadid penned an honest open letter to her Instagram followers, sharing her frustration with people judging her body.
"Yes, I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs but I'm not asking for special treatment".
The model received an overwhelmingly positive reaction to the post but again, this made or little no difference to the bigger picture (no pun intended): models still face insane amount of pressure to fit into sample sizing.
H&M trials renting out clothes to address environmental issues caused by fast fashion
Unsurprisingly, this week there has been a huge response to the new French law; on social a lot of people agreed that this a positive move very much in the right direction.
However, what is of concern is an undercurrent of that nauseating "you can never be too rich or too thin" concept.
The rest of the world needs to follow French law on banning ultra skinny models ASAP. Can't stand to see more and more starving models.
— Anna (@AnnaNikitaa) July 29, 2015
Fashion students support proposed French law banning underweight models
— SeatGeek (@AllieLebtres) May 1, 2015
I get that by the nature of their business, a lot of models are naturally slim due to genetics. There are, for example, many athletes whose physiques also defy normal standards.
It's just that fashion is an industry that rewards the thin disproportionately and casts aside those who don't fit its idea of aesthetic perfection.
Speaking to Motto previously, Erin Heatherton said that when she was modelling for Victoria's Secret, she was told to lose weight for two shows.
"I was really depressed because I was working so hard and I felt like my body was resisting me.
"And I got to a point where one night I got home from a workout and I remember staring at my food and thinking maybe I should just not eat".
Shortly after those comments, she quit her much-coveted job as a VS angel.
Thankfully, models are no longer on the same pedestals that they once were, and young women today have a stellar amount of role models to choose from - including businesswomen, humanitarians, actresses, singers, artists, and authors.
This French law should be commended for it has raised the thorny issue of a model's weight... but there is a long road ahead before we see any real change in the fashion industry.

Home Articles Making Our DIY Moment Matter by Zachary Levy
Making Our DIY Moment Matter by Zachary Levy
Zachary Levy – Filmmaker 'Strongman'
Aw man, I am thinking. Last Thursday's New York Times is up on my computer screen and I'm looking at the virtual front page, just below what would be the fold. The headline:
INDEPENDENT FILMMAKERS DISTRIBUTE ON THEIR OWN_
It's turf I've become increasingly familiar with in the last couple of months since I started plotting a DIY course for my documentary Strongman and I dig in to the article. I don't get too far before I realize I have a serious problem—Sacha Gervasi took out a second mortgage on his house to pay for the distribution on Anvil. I don't have a house.
Maybe it's just as well, of course. If I had a house, I probably would have mortgaged it long ago. The truth is a lot of us would. We are filmmakers who operate on a certain amount of faith. We make films because we believe — we believe we have something to say, we believe that we can say it in a way that's unique and we know, we absolutely know, that people will care about it once it is done. And the cost of that kind of faith, whether measured in credit card balances or our personal lives, has never been small. But as the unspoken corollary of The Times piece suggests, those costs may increasingly go up for filmmakers.
For The Times is absolutely right that there has been a sea-change in certain segments of the traditional distribution landscape. Sure, the big players may still go to Toronto with their checkbooks, but for most of us that was never really an option anyhow. They were buying the kind of indie films where they already know the players involved, where the people are known quantities. For our kind of indie — the scrapping from the street up kind of indie, the Craigslist and duct-tape kind of indie — the big players and Toronto require visa stamps most of us just don't have.
"For more and more of us then, having already taken the lion's share of the risk during production and now doing the basic distribution groundwork anyhow, taking that step towards full DIY begins to look exactly like a logical step forward and not some crazy blind leap off a cliff."
It's what's happening at the next level down in the industry that matters more to us. And the stories we hear trickling back through the grapevine don't seem particularly encouraging: woefully small advances from established companies, smaller and smaller amounts being put towards advertising and marketing. At a time when the big players, no matter what they say, seem to be operating with at least a couple of small glances over their shoulders — furtive peeks at "what happened to the music business" or tightened breaths at the mention of the digital bogeyman' it seems that timidity has crept into all levels of the establishment. People just seem a little unsure right now.
I think I understand what's happening when I see more and more people with traditional distribution experience on their resumes hand me their business cards having reinvented themselves as as indie-film consultants, as DIY specialists. I get it when I hear the initials repeated more and more like some kind of post-DV-modern mantra. It's like those earliest whispers about the internet — there's this hot new thing massing out there, and if we can just get a hold of it quick enough, jump on board in the right way, find someone to explain it to us, it just may be the answer to the industry's sense of temporary impermanence, the thing that is going to save us all from oblivion.
The truth is, of course, that for us filmmakers, there is nothing particularly "new" about DIY. There has been a slow creep towards DIY for a long time now: we now make websites, we make trailers, we design and make posters, all in the hope that an established distributor will notice. We have already done at least the first pass on work that a distributor would have traditionally done. And yet, even in those statistically rare cases where a traditional distributor does buy the film, it hasn't raised the purchase prices. We already are doing DIY stuff without any of the benefits.
For more and more of us then, having already taken the lion's share of the risk during production and now doing the basic distribution groundwork anyhow, taking that step towards full DIY begins to look exactly like a logical step forward and not some crazy blind leap off a cliff. Yes, we have reached a potential tipping point between traditional distribution and the DIY models, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.
For too long (from my vantage point at least), getting traditional "distribution" has been the metric by which too much of our business AND our art has been measured. Whether it's critics who won't pay attention to a film unless a name-brand distributor is attached (thus getting week-long runs) or film festivals who measure their importance by the number of acquisitions that happen at their festival, consciously or unconsciously, too many places have positioned themselves as feeder circuits for relatively narrowly-defined commercial success. Making traditional distribution the yardstick across so many levels of the food chain has really limited the kinds of films that get through each successive gate. At least from my vantage point, I think it has encouraged programming, writing about, and even making versions of films that we have increasingly already seen before.
A model where chasing traditional distribution is the gold standard makes it harder for all of us to take the risks necessary to make films that are different either in content (God help a politically conservative documentary get seen even on the festival circuit these days) or in form.
So what if there is less traditional distribution to chase?
Practically speaking, the DIY route is not easy. I say that from the front lines. I say that from the dozens of phones calls I make to get one call back. I say it from the emails I send out that float off into the ether of our virtual age.
Even with all the recent attention given to DIY, it's still a path that will cause even the bravest of us some level of self-doubt. I measure my progress like some sort of Neanderthal ground fight. Both glacially slow and brutally rough, but you keep moving, hoping that critical moment in evolution is just around the corner. Ultimately, I think it is worth it, as too many of us have allowed the unspoken mandates of current traditional distribution to become a poor trade for artistic stagnation.
There will be a lot of talk in pages like these about what tools we should use to Do It Yourself. I can imagine it becoming a debate that plays itself out over the next couple of years within varying camps — the DIYdays crowd vs. the folks who have enough capital to do a service deal and buy themselves a more traditional distribution approach. But whatever the mechanics end up being, that in itself is not really the most exciting part. It is like getting caught up in the details of a new computer plug-in. It's fun, it's exciting, but ultimately they are just tools. The real revolution is not which tools we use — it's what we do with them.
And for a brief moment, it seems like we have a chance to change that. As DIY distribution becomes increasingly viable, we can get to place where current commercial distribution becomes less and less of a shaping influence on our work. For if this revolution is to have real permanence, it can't just be about our business — it has to also be about our art.
As I go down this DIY path, there have been a lot of times recently when a moment from my days as college DJ have come flashing back into my head. At the time I did a country music radio show, and I remember once probing Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings about the origins of their '70s Outlaw revolution against Nashville's traditional infrastructure. "Well, you see," Waylon began in his slow, deep drawl, "it was that age-old conflict between management and labor," pausing to let the David vs. Goliath simplicity of the struggle sink in. "So we decided to become both."
Then of course Willie piped in — "Yeah, we really screwed up."
Sometimes total A-to-Z control is the last thing we really need as artists of course. We fight to knock down every wall we see and then wake up the next morning and don't recognize the rubble-strewn landscape in front of us. "Man, what the heck do we do now?" we ask. Have we just added 10 more things to our to-do lists?
Perhaps. But that doesn't necessarily mean we're making a mistake by doing it. For as in Waylon and Willie's case, or in the case of so many other business and creative revolutions, whatever trail that gets cut on the business side can quickly become over-grown again. The industry is very good at seizing on tools that seem to work and making them their own. What has the potential to remain unique and long lasting is the artistic work that comes from these tools.
Of course, this is not a battle between management and labor. Everything from the studio collapse of the 1970s to last decade's DV revolution has e already changed the politics of factory floor production. This one is about post production. It is about the conveyer belt at the very end of the line — the one that can only handle certain size boxes, the one that can only move at a limited number of speeds, the one that can connect only to certain size trucks to take the product to the customers. So either off-sized boxes pile up at the loading dock, or we don't make them at all, or we start building methods to get them into trucks, no matter what size.
So what does this mean for us as filmmakers? We can increasingly become our own distributors, or perhaps soon even viable mini-exhibitors streaming our films from our own websites. We can tailor distribution models to individually fit our films rather than the other way around. We can Twitter and friend our way to brand-name recognition, but at the end of the day… we still want to be filmmakers first. DIY can't become just an excuse to have filmmakers do more of the work. If we take the risk, we should not only reap the financial rewards for that, but we should do it in a way that allows for the filmmakers that follow to be in a better position creatively.
That means we might collectively have to do more work now. Too many non-profit art houses — the kind of places that should be most likely to take artistic risks — have retreated to becoming essentially second-run houses for more established distributors. Rather than building loyal local audiences, they worry about what happens in New York or LA. We will have to hold their hands. We will have to reassure them that there is a community of filmmakers that will support films without the shrinking advertising dollars of a brand-name distributor. We have to help build stronger local exhibition scenes. We will have to work harder to get the mainstream press to pay attention to our films, whether they play a week or a night. And we should do better at promoting each other's work.
It won't be long before the industry becomes calcified again around whatever develops from this, but at least for the moment, I think we as filmmakers have the kind of chance that comes along only every once in a while. It is a chance to remake not only how we get paid or what tools we use to get our films seen, but really the kind of films that the public sees. That ultimately is the most exciting part of this whole thing.
The conveyer belt at the very end of the line has been causing us to re-size and shape our films for too long. By building our conveyer belts, our own networks, it seems we have a chance to re-shape not only our financial future, but also, if we play our cards well, a new creative future as well.
In a lot of ways, the choice is ours. As we do DIY, we can choose to make the same kinds of films we have always been making and get them seen. We can simply replicate what the established distributors are doing anyhow. But we can also use this moment to push ourselves to make new kinds of films and get them seen. That is what I hope we choose to do.
