The Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G A-mount is a more than 20 year old lens made by Konica/Minolta in Japan. Konica/Minolta was the only lens manufacturer that also produced their own glass, and hence they matched their designs with the best elements they had in stock.
It's a different approach than designing a lens and then sourcing the glass in bulk from somewhere else as it gives you more quality control over the entire manufacturing process. Needless to say that they made some fantastic lenses, that can still be used today on Sony A-mount cameras.
With the release of the Sony A99ii in 2016, things got even more interesting, offering fast autofocus with a 42 megapixel sensor. Hybrid Phase detection AF (which uses a 79-point dedicated phase-detection autofocus sensor with 399 on- chip phase detection AF points) is not available with these pre Sony A-mount lenses, but you'll still get a generous 79 phase detection points covering about 20% of the sensor to choose from. An AF system that was never possible before with these screw-mount lenses.
The Minolta AF 300mm F4 High Speed APO G A-mount features an all metal build with 9 elements in 7 groups and a drop-in filter system which is situated between the elements. I could not test any filters, as my second hand copy came without, but I would be very careful when using it as I'm sure that dust and moisture can easily get into the lens that way.
It also has a 9 bladed and rounded aperture which together with the compression at 300 mm and a maximum f/4 opening should yield some nice bokeh.
I've tried the Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G together with a 1.4 TC and by itself on the Sony A99 II on a trip to India for this review. Let's see what my findings are.
As I mentioned earlier, the Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G can't access the 4D focussing system of the A99 II. Instead, it can only use the 79-point dedicated phase detection points in the dedicated AF module. And this is also a screw driven lens, a pre SSM type of focussing that mechanically has to move a screw in order to achieve focus. Even so, autofocus is quite accurate and relatively quick (if you temper your expectations of course).
I had no problem getting getting great results with and without a 1.4 TC with the system on full automatic. The latest Sony Alpha features like face recognition and Eye-AF are even available, but you'll need to put a bit more effort in than with a modern day SSM2 lens. For animals (like the Tigers in Ranthambore National Park) I would often switch to the centre focus point and then use the focus-and-recompose method to achieve the composition I wanted.
I wouldn't say that this is a fast action lens, but with proper care and a tripod, it would even be possible to use the Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G for birds in flight and airplane spotting. I'm not saying that you'd get the same shooting experience than with a Tamron SP 15-500 or the Sony 100-400, but it should be possible to get some decent shots in any case (though I would not recommend it for any kind of professional action photography).
Great news, the Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G is tack sharp in the centre of the frame at f/4, which in my opinion is where 90% of the time your subject will be with a tele prime like this. The corners lag behind a bit, but are quite acceptably sharp by f/5.6. And yes, this lens does resolve the full 42 million pixels of the A99 II!
With a 1.4 TC attached, you'll reach up to 420mm, with the loss of one stop, making it a maximum f/5.6 aperture lens. This loss of light is due to the teleconverter, so you're basically shooting an f/4 lens through an magnifying glass (in very simple terms). Here, you will need to stop down to f/8 to get the same level of sharpness in the centre, and f/11 for the corners.
If you're looking to buy this lens to go on safari, or to photograph animals, you can also use the crop mode (super 35mm mode) of the A99ii where you'll have a reach of 672mm at a still respectable 18 megapixels.
As always, the quality of the bokeh does not only depend on the lens. In order to get optimal results, it's important to shoot at a large aperture (f/4) with your subject in close-up and a suitable background. The Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G can indeed yield some pretty impressive results in this regard. The out-of-focus area rendering reminds me of what you can often get with the Zeiss 135mm f/1.8, luscious, creamy and very smooth backgrounds. For me, together with the excellent sharpness at f/4, is where this lens shines.
The Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G can't take advantage of modern coatings to reduce CA off course, so the amount of chromatic aberrations (purple and green fringing) both in the centre and corners can be terrible at times. These times I'm referring too are off course in scenes with a lot of contrast. Luckily, it's not too complex, and Lightroom manages to all but eliminate CA with the use of the eyedropper tool.
I had no issues with lens flare and ghosting during my months with the Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G (perhaps due to my shooting style), but I'm sure that also here you'd see more than you're used to with modern day lenses.
Since this is a 300mm prime, there is little or no vignetting visible. You won't find any correction profiles for this lens either, but I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Yes, the inolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G will produce the famous Minolta colour rendering. What that is, is hard to explain, but once you've tried a few Minolta lenses (or early Sony A-mount lenses like the 35mm f/1.4), you'll start to recognise the unique tones, vibrancy and distinctive rich colours synonymous with the name Minolta.
On the A99 Mark 2, auto white balance always seems to favour the warmer (yellow) side of the spectrum, but I found that a simple auto white balance adjustment alongside a neutral camera calibration profile from Adobe quickly gets me a very realistic yet eye pleasing tonal balance.
If you're looking for a relatively lightweight tele prime lens at a very reasonable price on the second hand market, the inolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G. You might be put off by the f/4 maximum opening (we like to to read f/2.8 don't we), but this lens resolves the 42mp A99 II at f/4, and thanks to the high ISO capability (6400 is no problem) of this camera, this combo actually works quite well in that regard. If you are planning on using a 1.' Teleconverter with this lens, remember that you'll lose a stop of light and that you'll need to step down another stop to f/8 to get the same performance as without a TC. So perhaps not the best use of this lens.
Chromatic aberrations can be quite pronounced and will show up visibly in your image as purple (the most annoying) and green fringing in areas with a lot of contrast. It's not possible to fix this in-camera, but it's easy to remove in an app like Lightroom with the colour picker tool.
Autofocus (although limited to the 79-point phase detection module of the A99II), also performs admirably. You also get access to the latest autofocus technology like face detection and Eye-AF (within the 72 point frame), so I would wager that there has not ever been a camera body that performs better with this lens. Having said that, I would not expect modern day performance from this combo, and you'll need to take more care than you're probably used to to get the focus to lay where you want. But it's an f/4 lens, so the in focus area won't be as shallow than with an f/2.8 lens.
For me, the lens really shines in regards to bokeh and color rendition for portraits, pseudo macro fauna/flora and architecture shots. In the right conditions, you'll get a creamy background reminiscent of one of my all time favourite lenses, the Zeiss 135mm f/1.8. Combined with the sharpness at f/4 and the fact that it's balances well on the A99M2, it's a great lens to get up close to people or subjects without actually getting noticed. If your main area of interest is birds-in-flight photography or looking for a fast action lens, this might not be the right choice for you though as autofocus (and reach for that matter) is not compatible with new lenses on the market right now.
All in all, the Minolta AF 300mm F4 HS APO G is a nice addition to your kit for casual use if you manage to get a good copy at a reasonable price. Have a look through my gallery if you'd like to see some more images.
Thanks for your comment Mark.the A99 mark 2 is a great investment if you want to extend the life cycle of your Minolta lens collection.

after listening to the mississippi records "love is love" and "lipa kodi ya city council" comps a lot lately, i became intrigued by this character S.E. Rogie. singing in english amidst a comp of all african vocals, he already stands out a bit, but listening further solidifies his status near the top of the best from these records. jangling in on a gliding wave of tinny tropical guitar, his in all manners jolly voice and infectious rhythm immediately set your foot tapping along and your hand fetching a refreshing adult beverage. i think if i was a lady in his time this guy's heyday i would have the fattest teenybopper crush on him; i bet he got all kinds of attention from the females. my friend kris claims that the african palm wine is actually quite atrocious tasting, but i would sit down in the shade, sip some palm potables, and fan off with this record on any sunny day. music for seriously chillin', rollin' spliff after spliff of dirt weed and sippin' all your cares away. summer's already here in my room!
"S. E. Rogie (born Sooliman Rogers) was a highlife and palm wine guitarist and singer from Sierra Leone. He was born in the 1940s and began performing early, while supporting himself as a tailor. In the 1960s, he became a professional musician, singing in four languages. His hits include "Koneh Pehlawo", "Go Easy with Me" and "My Lovely Elizabeth". He formed a band called The Morningstars in 1965, then travelled in Liberia and the United States. In the US, he performed at elementary and high schools across California, and received awards from the US Congress and Senate, the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, California.
He moved to England in 1988. He died in 1994 shortly after recording his last album, Dead Men Don't Smoke Marijuana."
YES, HIS LAST ALBUM IS CALLED DEAD MEN DON'T SMOKE MARIJUANA. i can't imagine how well that would go over at an elementary school. maybe here in oakland though?
here's a collection of classic tracks of Rogie's from the 60's, entitled "PALM WINE GUITAR MUSIC: THE 60'S SOUND". be prepared to be totally chilled out.

Early indicators of how the recession has hit BC's poor
By Seth Klein
Just wanted to draw readers' attention to a great op-ed piece in The Province newspaper this past Thursday: "Recession slammed BC's poor; and it's not over," by Chandra Pasma. Chandra is a policy analyst with Citizens for Public Justice (a faith-based social justice group), and author of a recent report entitled Bearing the Brunt: How the Recession Created Poverty for Canadian Families.
B.C. had the third-highest increase in unemployment in the country during the recession. Some 51,800 jobs were lost between October 2008 and October 2009, representing 2.2 per cent of B.C.'s total jobs. Unemployment increased over this period to 8.3 per cent from 5.2 per cent.
While the number of EI recipients rose sharply as unemployment grew, with nine B.C. urban communities experiencing an increase of 115 per cent or more in the number of EI recipients, coverage remained low, rising to 48.2 per cent in October 2009. In other words, more than half of B.C.'s unemployed were not receiving benefits, despite the fact that the province's economy was one of the most devastated by the recession.
Citizens for Public Justice, along with Canada Without Poverty, has been leading a campaign called Dignity for All – a national call to end poverty in Canada.
Topics: Employment & labour, Poverty, inequality & welfare
The impact of the recession on young people
Spending cuts will spell further job losses and a longer recession

At Europe's Edge
Migration and Crisis in the Mediterranean
Ċetta Mainwaring
A far-reaching study providing the basis for new theoretical advancements in migration studies
Presents rich empirical data collected over ten years, including participant observation, and more than 150 interviews with migrants, policymakers, and practitioners
Employs a multi-level and interdisciplinary analysis of developments at the regional, national, and local levels
Offers significant new insights into migrant journeys and EU migration policies
Draws on the often-overlooked case study of Malta
The Mediterranean Sea is now the deadliest region in the world for migrants. Although the death toll has been rising for many years, the EU response remains fragmented and short sighted. Politicians frame these migration flows as an unprecedented crisis and emphasize migration control at the EU's external boundaries. In this context, At Europe's Edge investigates why the EU prioritizes the fortification of its external borders; why migrants nevertheless continue to cross the Mediterranean and to die at sea; and how EU member states on the southern periphery respond to their new role as migration gatekeepers. The book addresses these questions by examining the relationship between the EU and Malta, a small state with an outsized role in migration politics as EU policies place it at the crosshairs of migration flows and controls. The chapters combine ethnographic methods with macro-level analyses to weave together policymaker, practitioner, and migrant experiences, and demonstrate how the Mediterranean is an important space for the contested construction of 'Europe'. This book provides rich insight into the unexpected level of influence Malta exerts on EU migration governance, as well as the critical role migrants and their clandestine journeys play in animating EU and Maltese migration policies, driving international relations, and producing Malta's political power. By centring on the margins, the book pushes the boundaries of our knowledge of the global politics of migration, asylum, and border security.

Biography of James F. Willows
1 Comment	/ Nez Perce County / By Dennis Partridge
One of our capable and enterprising farmers is named at the head of this article, and he is also one of the substantial and patriotic citizens of Nez Perces County, being a man of marked uprightness and unswerving integrity and strength of character. James F. was born in Canada, on March 24, 1868, being the son of Thomas and Ellen (Farris) Willows, natives respectively of England and Canada, and now residing in Alberta, where they devote themselves to farming and stock raising.
When our subject was four years of age his parents removed to Saunders County, Nebraska, where he was educated, finishing his school days at the age of seventeen. In 1889 he came west to Gray's harbor, Washington, and two years were spent in that section, when he came to Nez Perces County, renting six hundred acres of land on the reservation. He also bought a quarter section three miles south from Genesee, but he made his home on the reservation where his large farm was until the time of his marriage, which occurred on November 29, 1899, when Maud Ingle became his bride. Her parents, William A. and Malinda (Voding) Ingle, came west in 1885 and now live in this County.
To our subject and his estimable wife there has been born one child, Thomas W. Mr. Willows has two brothers, Harvey D., married to Annie Haley, living in Northwest Territory, and John R., married to Amy Yeoman and living in Alberta, and he also has one sister, Jennett M., married to C. M. Dodson and living in Alberta, Northwest Territory. In political matters, Mr. Willows allies himself with the Democratic Party and always takes an active interest in the local matters. He is also a member of the K. of P. Lodge, No. 5, of Genesee, and of the I. O. O. F. Lodge No. 36, of the same town. His wife is an adherent of the Methodist Church and they are among the leaders in the society of their community, being capable, and good people.

Chair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1918. Relaunched in 1973. Manufactured by Cassina in Italy. A sculptural seat with a pure and rationalist form, this chair became an authentic Manifesto for Neoplasticism, embraced by the Dutch De Stijl movement in 1917. An outlook shared by Piet Mondrian, whose objective was to seek out the essential nature of things, combined with the harmonious equivalence of colours, and the use of right-angle. Rietveld produced his first prototypes in 1918, expressing the philosophy of organising space using the same colours for similar components.

Postmodern, Bauhaus
CLE-1330646

Dutch furniture designer and architect Gerrit Thomas Rietveld was born in Utrecht in 1881. He began working in his father's workshop as a boy, and from 1906 to 1911 worked as a draftsman for Utrecht jeweler C. J. Begeer. From 1904 to 1908, he took evening classes in drawing and ornamentation at the Kunstindustrieel Onderwijs der Vereeniging of the Museum van Kunstnijverheid in Utrecht. Around 1906, he also attended classes led by architect P. J. C. Klaarhamer.
In 1917, Rietveld set up a furniture studio in Utrecht. Early on, he was associated with the De Stijl movement and its champions, such as Piet Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg. Starting around 1918, his work reflected the artistic ideals of the group; and, using black, white, gray, and primary colors, he transformed objects and buildings into abstract compositions driven by lines and planes. His two most noted designs of this period were the Red-Blue Chair of 1918 (originally unpainted, the colored version dates to 1923) and the 1924 Rietveld Schröder House. He also contributed to the journal De Stijl: Maandblad voor nieuwe Kunst, wetenschap en Kultur from 1919 until it ceased publication in 1931. The contacts he made there helped him expose his work internationally. In the late twenties and the thirties, he concentrated on architecture and mass-produced furniture. During the 1930s, Rietveld distanced himself from De Stijl and focused on more experimental work and material exploration. He was also commissioned to renovate several shops for Dutch company Metz & Co., which produced his furniture—including the iconic Zig-Zag Chair (1932)—between 1930 and 1955. In the fifties, he began to design exhibitions and exhibition spaces, including the Dutch Pavilion for the Venice Biennale (1954).
In 1961, he partnered with architects Johan van Dillen and J. van Tricht. His final commission was for Amsterdam's Vincent van Gogh Museum (1963–73). Rietveld died in 1964, and his associates completed the building after his passing.
Italian furniture manufacturing giant Cassina, originally named Amedeo Cassina, was founded by brothers Cesare (1909-1979) and Umberto (1910-1992) Cassina in Meda, Italy in 1927. Although initially specialized in bespoke woodworking and high-end interiors, by the 1950s the brothers took the company in a new direction, anticipating the growing demand for mass-produced home furnishings. Cassina is often credited with introducing industrial design to Italy and has built an international reputation for collaborating with some of the world's most respected designers.
Notably, in 1964 (while famed architect Le Corbusier was still alive), Cassina signed the first exclusive licensing agreement covering the edition rights for designs by Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret, and Charlotte Perriand. The company soon after launched the I Maestri Collection which over the decades has gathered major icons of design under the Cassina brand, such as the LC4 Lounge (1928) jointly designed by Le Corbusier, Jeanneret, and Perriand, as well as Dutch architect Gerrit Rietveld's 635 Red & Blue Armchair (1918), Scottish architect-designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Hill House Chair (1902), and many more.
With a focus more on partnering with the best designers rather than creating and maintaining a particular style, Cassina is responsible for some of the most recognized and beloved designs of the 20th and 21st centuries. Highlights include Italian architect-designer Gio Ponti's Superleggera Chair (1957), German designer Konstantin Grcic's Kanu Chair (2009), Iranian-British architect Zaha Hadid's Zephyr Sofa (2013), and French designer Philippe Starck's My World Sofa (2013). Throughout its visionary collaborations with both design luminaries and cutting-edge experiments with new talents, Cassina has remained dedicated to the Italian design ideals of craftsmanship and quality, and the brand continues to excel in the fusion of industrial technology and artisanal production.
Cassina's designs are included in permanent collections the world over, such as the Museum of Modern Art (New York), Vitra Design Museum (Weil am Rhein) and London Design Museum.
Cassina is now a part of the prestigious Poltrona Frau Group.

If you've been wrestling with the idea of picking up a new comic adventure game, today's release of Da New Guys: Day of the Jackass may just be the deciding factor.
Demo precedes launch date with J.U.L.I.A.
The machines are coming! With the release of J.U.L.I.A. just around the corner, players can get an early sample of what's to come in CBE's unique sci-fi adventure from the demo released today.
» Read full announcement for J.U.L.I.A.
It's been over four years since we first heard of Resonance, but the sound of its launch is finally drawing closer, as indie developer Vince Twelve has announced a publishing deal with Wadjet Eye Games.
If you've been anxious for news about Skygoblin's The Journey Down, don't worry... be happy... because the indie developer has just released the first trailer for its upcoming comic adventure that's quite unlike any other.
Just when you thought you knew what to expect from Chris Tolworthy's Enter the Story series, after five episodes the indie developer has decided to completely overhaul his story-centric adventure series from the ground up, beginning with The Picture of Dorian Gray and Journey to the Center of the Earth.
With Adams's Venture 3: Revelations running, jumping, and shimmying its way towards release next month, the first trailer has been unveiled just ahead of the action-charged adventure.
Zombie alert! Telltale's game version of The Walking Dead may still be off in the distance, but we'll have plenty of chance to see it coming, as a new behind-the-scenes video series called "Playing Dead" has been launched today on the official website.
Things are looking brighter for The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, as Daedalic and Deep Silver have just released the first trailer for the upcoming fantasy adventure.
If you've yet to play Back to The Future: The Game, then fear not, you're not 'outatime'. Publisher Deep Silver have announced a new deal with Telltale to bring the popular game series to European stores within the next couple months.
The release of Pendulo's Studio's Yesterday won't happen until some future tomorrow, but there's a bit more of Yesterday to dwell on today (everybody get that?) with the launch of the official website.

SkatePunk Podcast #8 Circus Rhapsody
Shortly after our third episode of the SkatePunk Podcast aired, we received an email from a man called Michi. He is the bass player of the band 'Circus Rhapsody' based in Berlin, Germany. Shortly after, we've scheduled a recording date together and got him on the show.
Circus Rhapsody is a one-of-a-kind band, that if you were to describe it as diverse, it would be an understatement. They play everything but have their roots in punk rock. Join us in this episode as we talk about some road stories, how the band got its name and image, and how they dealt with the COVID-Situation this far.

Review: Converse Cons Mid Player Pro
Before we went on our extended break, I had reached out to Brian about possibly reviewing old skate shoes for the sake of skating shoes I wish I had bought previously. After skating them, I realized that it'd been seven years since my last Converse review, which all fit well.

It's a good thing that being a chocoholic is considered socially acceptable, or I would have been forced to enroll in a twelve-step program long ago.
Measure ½ cup of the milk into a small bowl and slowly sprinkle over the gelatin. Place the chocolate into a bowl over a small pan of simmering water and heat, stirring frequently, until melted. Combine the remaining 1 cup of milk, cream, and sugar in a small saucepan and heat to a bare simmer. Whisk in the gelatin mixture, chocolate, and vanilla. Chill over an ice bath until just beginning to thicken. Divide the mixture among 6 ramekins or dessert cups. Refrigerate for about 4 hours, or until set.
Serve as is, or to unmold, dip the bottom of each ramekin into hot water for a few seconds, wipe dry, and invert onto a dessert plate.
Serves 6. Can be made up to a day ahead of time and kept covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. These silky panna cottas are sure to satisfy your chocolate cravings, and the best part is that the recipe's a cinch to make!
oh that looks fantastic! saw it on food gawker-- i love the signs in your kitchen!!

I am planning to purchase a suspension lift kit for my 1998 Mitsubishi Delica Chamonix. What brand can you recommend? I would like to add at least 2-inches of ground clearance on my Delica.
Last edited by Growlerbearnz on Thu Jun 28, 2018 2:52 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Reason: Removed irrelevant link. Spam?
There's a lot out there for the L400, and a lot of it seems to be the same, just with different branding applied. You might get a better response with a less open-ended question, perhaps if you post links to a couple of kits you're interested in and ask people's opinion?
Lift a max 1 1/2" for a cheap ball joint lift or 4,6,8" for a Heartland (japan) lift. A Heartland kit starts at $1200 but they take into consideration camber and (caster supposedly) problems. They alter and beef up the spindle to add camber to offset wheel wear and alignment problems.
A ball joint lift is a drilled block placed on top of the BJ. It will give you a lift but 1 1/2" is the max before starting to give camber/caster and tire wear problems. An alignment is still required after your lift install. You can buy or build your own lift blocks, but they must be done well.
It's easy to break your upper control arms if you do any serious off roading, Delicas aren't build as strong as many serious off road vehicles. I rebuilt my UCA's after the first set broke.
Expect to still change upper/lower ball joints as lifting creates additional strain on them .
You will need HD torsion bars (australia) and HD rear coils (CC autos van island). look at all your steering and suspension bushings first as they may need changing first. Lifted Delicas roll easier so the suspension needs stiffened to keep it on track. Check your shocks to see if they will accomodate the added distance. Otherwise new shocks are needed.
Oops I forgot to mention.. Don't use any parts but Mitsubishi as they just don't hold up as well. Ask me, I've tried to use others but they only cause problems.

We had an awesome weekend of racing on the LW. Sat was the down river portion of the event, and Sun was the first ever LVM Giant Slalom. I ended up finishing first place overall which was a great feeling on my home river. I feel like this type of racing is the way the sport should be heading and am stoked to do more of these events.

Hello my friends, this video we're going to use Color Range again, but for a very different use case. Instead of masking we're going to use it to adjust the colors. It's something that I do a lot more, instead of masking it's more just adjusting things, like if you have a look at the leaves, they are kind of a browny green, and now, ooh, beautiful green! And let's look at the sea. It's gone from a blue to a kind of a nice tropical holiday cyan color. So basically we're going to use color range to make a selection of those colors, and then use adjustment layers on them. Just to fix them up, it's a really common way that I use color range. Let's jump in now and learn how to do it.
So I'm going to work on the document we used in the last video. If you don't have that or you skipped it, just go to 'File', 'Open', and open up your 'Exercise Files', and we're using 'Color Range 3'. So basically we combine Color Range 3 with 1 and 2, where we've got this kind of composition now. So what I'm going to do is just turn the Eyeball off on both of these guys, which is the banana and the blueberry. I want the background selected. I want to change the blues and the greens.
Basically every landscape photograph I ever take. I want to kind of enhance the greens a little bit, and often the sky needs just a little bit of Photoshop love. And Color Range is an amazing quick and easy way to isolate those things to make those adjustments. Very different from the last video, we were using it to completely mask it. So Background Layer selected, 'Select', let's go to 'Color Range'. Depending on what you were last doing you might have to switch back to 'None'. You might have to turn 'off' Localized Color. And you get yours looking something like mine. We'll start at a 100 fuzziness-ish. I'm going to work on the sea here, and it's got a very similar color to the sky. I'm happy to work on both of those, I'm going to click once in here.
You can see, it's clicked quite a big chunk of it. Let's switch the 'Selection' preview to 'Grayscale' so we can kind of see it. Now it's grabbed most of this sea except for this chunk here, grab the '+' button, and let's go ahead with this bit, and it's got most of it. The only trouble is it's got quite a lot of the sky, so I'm going to lower the fuzziness. So when I was using my masks, I don't use the fuzziness very often, but when I'm doing this kind of like subtle Hue Saturation changes. Now I'm getting mine down-ish. And there's no right or wrong, there's no magical number.
What you'll find is whenever I'm doing this, I'll do it once, and see if I've gone too far or too little, and then come back and change it. So that's worked for me, let's click on 'OK'. Basically we've got a selection of all the kind of blueish bits, and I want to make them more cyan. Instead of making a mask on their own layer, the easy way now is to click on 'Adjustments', and let's click on 'Hue & Saturation'. And what it does is it takes that selection you had, and applies it to this Hue & Saturation adjustment layer. So I can turn it on and off, and make adjustments to it without destroying the background. We love a bit of non-destructiveness.
What I'm going to do is-- I love-- you know, blue, skies are blue, but actually they look really nice when they're cyan, they look tropical holiday. So I do that often with all my landscapes, is I'll go through and just add a bit more of the cyan rather than the blue. How much? Yes, it's working for me. I might bump up the Saturation just a tiny bit. Go way too far. Somewhere in here. Turn the Eyeball 'on', 'off'. So it's just a really easy way to isolate colors. Especially generic ones, like sky, where maybe making a selection can be quite tough. We do the same thing for these leaves, whenever I photograph kind of foliage, I know it should be green but it always is this kind of motley brown yellow color. That's just the way of the world, but what I want to do for this promotional image, I want it to be our lovely green, a nice rich but believable green.
It's the same thing, I click on my Background layer, I'm going to grab 'Select', 'Color Range'. What I might need to do is switch it back to 'None'. Then click on one of these, and it's picked-- there's so many different kind of green browns going in here. I'm going to click, hold, and drag across a few of these, where I know it's kind of a-- it's a good representation of the whole document. I click back into here, into Grayscale. If it had to work you actually need to have this Eye dropper on the +. Just clicking and dragging across it with this first tool, doesn't work.
I'm going to go back to 'None'. I'm going to say, you my friend, and I click and drag across there. And now I'm going to go back to Grayscale, and you can see I've got a pretty good selection of this. It's got probably a lot too much of the sand as well. The browns out of the leaves, same browns are in the sand. I'm going to lower the fuzziness a bit. I'm going to grab my '- Eyedropper Tool', click once in here. Click once again just to get rid of these sands in here. We're getting pretty close. All right, let's click 'OK'.
So I've got my selection. Same as before, let's go to 'Adjustments', 'Hue & Saturation'. What I'm going to do is yank out the saturation really high, way past where I need it. Just so that I can know that I've got the right colors. So I want to pick a green that's not too that green, not too bluey green. I want something in the middle nice and rich, and then I can lower this down to kind of make it believable-ish. Just turn the Eyeball on and off on that layer, and you can see what I'm doing here, just moving the kind of brown greens, to a bit more lush green.
Only trouble with this, I find that this island here is probably over saturated now. Often Color Range gets used in a combination, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to select on the 'Mask', grab my 'B' key for my 'Brush Tool'. I need black as my foreground color, remember, X toggles it back and forth. Brush size, we're going to use our shortcut, and I'm just going to get rid of this. I'm going to make my fuzziness a bit higher because it's quite out of focus. Brush size down. Just to touch this up. I might have lowered the opacity of this brush so it's not such a drastic change, because now I feel like it's completely brown.
Really hard to get in here, I could get in with a really small paintbrush to fix this up. Probably what I'd do is just lower the opacity of my brush, before I painted it all out. Kind of faded it into here. So let's do that before I go. I'm going to go undo a billion times till my [00:05:50 ?? iron's] back. Not too far. Here we go. So with this Layer selected, with the Mask selected, Brush tool. I'm going to show you a new little shortcut. We've let the size, left and right, up and down for the hardness. Another cool one is, see the opacity? So if you look at your keyboard, the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 along the top, not the ones on the number keypad, you might not have one of those, but the ones that are above the letters on your keyboard. Watch up here, where it says Opacity, if I type the '2' key, goes to 20%. '5' is 50%, '9' is 90%, '0' is back to 100. Weird. If you want to do it super fast, like '5', '5' together, you can see it changes the opacity here. So it's just an easy way of picking an opacity without having to toggle.
I'm going to jump up here and slide it up and down. You can see what I'm doing here, I'm just not getting rid of it at all. Mainly so I can save the trouble of having to go through and paint out, between this kind of crossover of the leaves and the island. I'm going to turn my banana on, and my amazing blueberries. And that is an easy way to select a particular Hue, often really good for landscapes, so skies, and kind of grasses, trees and stuff. Make a selection. And with that selection you just click on your 'Adjustments' panel, and that adjustment takes that selection, and turns it into a Mask for its own layers. Then you can turn it on and off. Later on, non-destructively, it's on its own layer, and is awesome. That is it for this video, I will see you in the next one.


KPMG Banarra Human Rights & Social Impact Services.
There is no single lever to create change – the pernicious practices which subject over 40 million people worldwide to slavery-like conditions cannot be ended by compliance, civil society campaign or regulatory reform. Right now, in jurisdictions where business is being asked to do more to address modern slavery and other human rights impacts, it is fair to say that there is deep concern and fear at the top of corporate governance structures: how can we possibly understand, identify and respond to hidden violations across our all operations and throughout our whole supply chain?
Nevertheless, the sphere of influence business exercises is considerable, and it is here that business can choose to pull certain levers. Regulation is now saying: it is no longer enough to allow the complexity of global supply chains to prevent you from uncovering your impacts. So how should business respond? In this blog, we discuss the three levers which should be front of mind for business in 2019. First, meaningful corporate commitments to human rights as business as usual; second, creative application of technology; and third, collaborative multi-stakeholder engagement.
How did we find ourselves here, with the scourge of modern slavery laid at the feet of business? The answer is both simple and complex. Ultimately, when the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) were accepted by the international community in 2011, it marked a significant shift in how we understand the responsibility of corporations in managing negative impact on people. The UNGPs put business at the heart of responding to the harm that their activities might cause. The fact that many business models lack visibility of the source of goods and services is no longer an excuse for companies not to know about harms that may occur in their supply chains.
While it might seem overwhelming for those who have not yet engaged, corporate leaders are demonstrating that getting to know your business and its impacts is a platform for doing business better. Underlying these responses is a common foundation. Businesses are making public commitments to doing no harm, and specifically to respect human rights. For these commitments to be meaningful, they must live in the policies, standards and implementation plans of every business unit and function. Making respect for human rights business as usual is something to be progressively realized, but it is a lever that is absolutely in the control of business.
There is no doubt that emerging technologies and new applications of existing technologies will disrupt our responses to systemic human rights issues. This comes with its own inherent tension – we know that the existing and emerging technologies which allow us to identify and trace patterns of potential abuse, can simultaneously cause or compound harm. Right now, we shape the questions we ask technology to help us to solve. We believe that core to those questions is ensuring that for every pain point we use these technologies to help us alleviate, we also build trust points to answer and verify the impact on people and planet.
The concealed nature of modern slavery practices, often far removed from group-level corporate governance, require new layers of visibility and analysis. The volume of data from across supply chains that business collects and generates is exponentially increasing. In the short term it is the smart and practical application of proven technologies such as data analytics that will provide us with new insights into where human rights risks lie hidden. Significant steps forward will be achieved by focusing on what is practical now rather than being seduced by the imagined future.
Business cannot do this alone. Multi-stakeholder initiatives have been a hallmark of the progress businesses have made in collaborating with each other on sector-based responses, the development of platforms for holding and analyzing supplier data, and specific corporate programs to address particular areas of risk. While there is an important and healthy division in any accountable society between government, civil society, media and business, tackling modern slavery will require productive collaborative efforts.
Transparency will be the primary driver of trusted relationships. The regulatory reporting provisions in the UK and Australian modern slavery legislation, and other similar obligations in jurisdictions like France and in the US state of California, are ultimately designed to further transparency. More countries and territories such as Canada, Norway and Hong Kong SAR are discussing the introduction of modern slavery legislation, and 30 countries brought together by the UK on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in 2017 made a similar commitment. While this is an accountability mechanism, it can also operate as a foundation for engagement. Businesses with strong stakeholder relationships will be able to develop a robust global response to human rights risk, which is the best preparation for meeting different reporting obligations. Engagement will drive learning, provide valuable data and promote public trust in business.
The end of modern slavery?
There is one shocking truth we need to remember in this conversation: we won't end slavery completely. The realization of human rights requires constant vigilance: there will always be unscrupulous people and the instigation of new structures which cause harm. This is precisely why the project of identifying and responding to human rights risk has to be built into the systems and controls of business. It will require unwavering commitment, creative continuous monitoring, and engagement driven through trusted relationships to continue to prevent harm.
The levers to address modern slavery are at our disposal – we should pull every one of them. By choosing inaction you make a direct contribution to allowing slavery-like conditions to flourish unattended, unwatched and without redress.

Hi - I'm not sure if this is straightforward or not (I initially thought so but don't want to jump to the incorrect conclusion). It's an issue arising as we're seeing more of our schools becoming academies.
Our property team are asking if there's a way that we're able to recover VAT on capital expenditure relating to expansion schemes at various academies. The schemes would be funded by our Basic Needs Capital Grant, so would be as a result of the Council's statutory need to ensure sufficient school places in our borough. The schemes are at the Council's behest rather than initiated by the Academy themselves.
My initial thinking was that the academies should incur the capital spend themselves, then we'd reimburse the net cost from the grant and the academy would claim the input VAT back, so everything would be relatively straightforward.
However there are increasing concerns around the number and size of schemes that may be necessary. We lose a degree of control over costs where schemes are undertaken by the academy, and this is proving problematic in terms of keeping costs within a level we can afford (as well as complications around the drawing up of the grant agreement). The question has been asked as to whether we can legitimately undertake the work on an academy's property ourselves, and this has led to the discussion and problems around claiming VAT back on expenditure relating to a non Council property.
Has anyone had similar experience or discussions? Is there a way that we would be able to do the work ourselves and claim the VAT back? Many thanks.
Posting to resurrect this topic as I am interested in how this has been managed elsewhere.

TOTTENHAM boss Tim Sherwood believes that misfiring striker Roberto Soldado will find his feet and become a White Hart Lane star.
The Spaniard, who has only found the back of the net once from open play this season, has fallen behind the resurgent Emmanuel Adebayor in Sherwood's pecking order.
Spurs fans feel the £26millon spent on the former Valencia and Real Madrid man has gone to waste, but his manager reckons the under-fire forward will end his barren spell soon.
Sherwood said: "It's just a matter of time before Robbie hits the target again and he starts scoring and he gets on a run.
"I'm not putting any pressure on him and he's not putting any pressure on himself. He's a good trainer, he's just got to stick at it."
With Jermain Defoe set to join MLS outfit Toronto at the end of the month, youngster Harry Kane can expect to see more first-team action.
When asked if he regretted not signing a new forward in January, Sherwood replied: "No. We're alright with the strikers [we have]."

Johann Leonhard Weidner (* 11. November 1588 in Ottersheim; † 5. Februar 1655) war ein deutscher Humanist.

Leben
Der Sohn des Pfarrers Leonhard Weidner besuchte ab 1600 das Gymnasium in Heidelberg und hörte anschließend an der dortigen Universität Philologie bei Janus Gruter. Zu seinen Studienfreunden zählten Friedrich Lingelsheim († 1616; der Sohn von Georg Michael Lingelsheim) und Julius Wilhelm Zincgref.

Ohne die Doktorwürde erlangt zu haben, übernahm er 1612 die vierte Lehrerstelle am Pädagogium in Worms-Neuhausen, wurde 1615 Rektor der lateinischen Schule in Elberfeld, 1619 Rektor der reformierten Lateinschule in Montjoie, 1622 Konrektor in Düsseldorf, 1623 Rektor des Gymnasiums in Duisburg, 1636 Konrektor der Gelehrtenschule in Nijmegen, 1648 Rektor der Lateinschule in Maastricht, um schließlich 1650 Rektor des neu organisierten Gymnasiums in Heidelberg zu werden.

In Monschau hatte er Sibylla († 1624), die Tochter des Cleveschen Landmessers Heinrich von Sehnen geheiratet. 1625 heiratete er die Cousine seines Studienfreundes Julius Wilhelm Zincgref, Anna Maria Zinkgräf. Mit ihr hatte er die Söhne Johann Wilhelm, Albert Friedrich und Philipp Wilhelm. Sechs Kinder überlebten ihn.

Er gab antijesuitische Schriften und die mehrbändige Zitatensammlung Teutscher Nation Apophthegmata heraus, die noch lange über seinen Tod hinaus wiederaufgelegt wurden.

Anime has taken the world by storm, but Japan isn't the only country producing cool and compelling animation. In this panel, we'll take a trip around the world to discover what great animation other countries have to offer with stops in Italy, Australia, Hungary, China and elsewhere.
20 Sided Designs is all about geek art, and its promotion. It is also a studio that Laura Robinson, Wilfred Robinson, Michael Gans, and friends use to put out the projects they are working on including their long running web comic, Friday Knights.


The special is slated to run for an hour. A visual for the special was also revealed, which you can check out below.
Masashi Ishihama (From the New World, Garakowa -Restore the World-) was tapped to direct Persona 5 the Animation at A-1 Pictures, with Satomi Ishikawa (Convenience Store Boy Friends) providing character designs. Shinichi Inotsume (Gangsta., Hayate the Combat Butler) was in charge of series composition, while Persona 5 composer Shoji Meguro (Persona 3, Persona 4) scored the soundtrack.
All of the cast members returned from the original Persona 5 game.
Persona 5 was originally released on Sony's PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 consoles in September 2016. Atlus released the title outside of Japan in April 2017.
The title received a 55-minute animated prologue, titled Persona 5 the Animation -The Day Breakers-, on September 3, 2016. Takaharu Ozaki directed the project at A-1 Pictures, with Shinichi Inotsume (Garo: Crimson Moon, Hayate the Combat Butler) writing the script. The team of Keita Matsumoto (Sands of Destruction, Shining Hearts) and Toshiyuki Yahagi (Joker Game) provided character designs.


Get Knitting with this Knitting group for a cause!
The Adelaide branch of Knit4Charities is expanding to the North. This group of people knit objects for local organisations. These include local foodbanks, hospitals and charity drives.
Please come along on the morning to knit objects.
If you can't make it on the day (or can't knit) you can donate wool and other knitting supplies to the library who will in turn pass it onto the group.


Every year we need a different calendar and there are many different types that we see around us. To stay motivated and actually use them, we need them to be aesthetically pleasing. Some people prefer to print them on paper while others prefer to use software. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, so we can't say that there is a right or wrong way to plan, as long as we balance between having no plans and overplanning. We also need to make sure that our plans stay flexible enough even when the need for change arises. This isn't always easy and it requires that we are aware of our current rhythm, so we could anticipate whether we will be able to move synchronously with the time.
Calendars can show country-specific holidays and weekends, but this restricts their usefulness and is something to be avoided. They need to consider the needs of as many people as possible. Placing holidays that people don't recognize and identify with will just drive them away. Any additional assumption about how a calendar will be used would further limit the circle of people who might benefit from it.
Before we create the calendar, we need to consider the view in which we'll present it. Whether we show only a single day, but with all the fidelity a person might need to plan their minutes, whether we show a week of time so a person could think in blocks of available working hours, whether we show a whole month or even a year is a design choice, one that will most certainly depend on the personal preference and the biases of the creator. Choosing a "smaller" view means that we divide a calendar in many parts that will require user actions to get a combined feeling (think in terms of a sliding window). In many cases this works, but in many it doesn't. Any time the user has to click without altering the calendar data can be seen as a waste. Once the number of actions exceeds a particular threshold, we could say that the calendar has become unusable. Good design ensures that the minimum number of interactions occur and that the user has always a good understanding of what they change. Having more content in one screen would minimize the number of interactions needed, but will at the same time increase the cognitive burden on the viewer. Using a combined approach, where we let users choose their view is an option that could balance the advantages and disadvantages of all available views. But constant switching between them can be distracting and time-consuming, which will stand in the way of regular work. If we want to minimize it and enable direct data manipulation, the yearly view may be our best choice. Since most people tend to plan only short-term up to a week or two, a yearly view can give everyone a better sense that there's much more to life than today and tomorrow. It is uncomfortable and forces us to think of what the best way would be to fill all these days. It is about long-term thinking and the feelings of control and responsibility.
A useful property of a calendar is the emotional feeling that the passing of each additional day can trigger in us. Not all calendars can show well how our plans get "eaten" by an animation of approaching time in a way that we feel internally motivated to be faster in our plans and execution (and avoid living aimlessly). Such a progress indicator of time reveals how quickly the elapsed time can overpower the remaining one. Seeing how we are robbed of daily opportunities and how fast our life is getting "grayed out" might be inconvenient for many of us, but it is much better to confront this truth early rather than to stay indifferent.
Using a calendar shouldn't take much time when we want to save it. Maybe it doesn't even need a login form. If a person needs 15 seconds to login and then 30 seconds to type the today's plan, then the login form takes 33% of the combined time, which is unacceptable. Many such products already exist, which is why we need to rethink how others will use our work. It always pays to make things as simple as possible.
Visibility is important for calendars ("out of sight, out of mind"). Something which isn't seen, is less likely to be used. Having something in physical form around us can act as a constant reminder, which is why we need the option to print content, even when infrequently. Even a calendar that is intended for frequent use will face the competition of million other sites that will scream for attention. With best intentions and an inviting product, we still can't be sure that people will be willing to come back again.
Although the calendar is a planning tool, it can't replace our ability to plan. Even with plans and a good sense for the clock, we may still be unable to meet those plans. But even if our initial plans may fail, we may eventually get better over time.

Top 10 Films of 2014
Posted on August 2, 2015 by filmicmag	Leave a comment
From the April 2015 Issue
Over a period of two weeks, magazine members were asked to submit ranked lists reflecting the very best 2014 films they saw. Fourteen lists were ultimately received and 46 titles of considerable diversity were mentioned, including four animated films, two documentaries, five summer blockbusters and six foreign language films. The following is the final ranked aggregate:
Only Lovers Left Alive (Jim Jarmusch)
Only Lovers Left Alive is a slick film about love in the darkest of places. Actors Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston are an unlikely pair, but somehow their characters' love is both real and believable. This is not a typical vampire movie, nor is it your typical romance flick. It is a breed all its own.
– Mikayla Mislak
Enemy (Denis Villeneuve)
Characterized by its doppelganger premise and a sickly yellow color palette, Enemy is a psychological thriller of surprising depth. Jake Gyllenhaal gives one of the best performances of his career in the dual roles of a morose professor and the identical actor he hesitantly pursues. Heavily flavored with sentiments of dread and paranoia, and brimming with potentially polarizing metaphorical imagery, Denis Villeneuve's film stands as a fascinatingly abstracted exploration of infidelity and the male fear of commitment. An enigma and a nightmare.
– Byron Bixler
Foxcatcher (Bennett Miller)
Foxcatcher was the scariest movie I saw this year. This is mostly because I was not expecting to watch a horror film. Foxcatcher is in the Biopic-Drama/Thriller genre, but it's extremely unique from other biopics I've seen. The pace of the film is just slow enough to always keep you on the edge of your seat and above all, Carell's performance is one for the history books.
– Nate Hileman
Nightcrawler (Dan Gilroy)
For me, Dan Gilroy's Nightcrawler was the biggest surprise of last year. After having seen a long string of highly impressive English language films, I thought I had undoubtedly experienced the best American cinema that 2014 had to offer. I was wrong. Between its exploration of the depths of social psychology, its sharply written satirical screenplay, its atmospherically self-aware score and perhaps the strongest male performance of the year, there are very few works of cinema from the current decade that can compete with the profundity of Nightcrawler's darkly hilarious societal commentary.
– Eli Hayes
10. Selma (Ava DuVernay)
The secret to Selma's success is that it isn't about Martin Luther King, Jr.; it's about the march on Selma, Alabama. While it may center on King, it shines a light on key players whose story is often written out of history books. Paul Webb's script allows us to empathize with these characters regardless of which side they're on by having them see themselves as the bi-partisan middle: King is the middle to Malcolm X and Pres. Johnson, Pres. Johnson is the middle to King and Gov. Wallace, Gov. Wallace is the middle to Pres. Johnson and Sheriff Clark, etc. Combine this with Ava DuVernay's intense direction and some of the year's most convincing performances and you have one of the best films ever made on the subject.
– Austin Gold
9. Guardians of the Galaxy (James Gunn)
Chris Pratt and his rebellious team embody successful heroism to the highest degree. Guardians of the Galaxy's goofy flare paired with well-developed characters place the viewer in a wide realm of action and emotions. This is one of the greatest films of 2014 because its timing and wit is unprecedented for an action film; it's truly unmatched among its counterparts.
– Luke Harbur
8. Inherent Vice (Paul Thomas Anderson)
What hits you first about Inherent Vice is the humor, smacking you upside the face like a bong rip. What gets you second (and which lingers long after the film is finished) is the overwhelming sense of melancholy; of the inability to smoothly adapt to change. Inherent Vice may not be Paul Thomas Anderson's best film in terms of scope, style, or even humor, but it may be his best in terms of heart – something impossible to quantify but also hard to deny after seeing the movie. The future is a dark and scary place and Inherent Vice never shies away from portraying that reality, but it's also willing to stick by your side until the journey is over.
– Joel Kalow
7. Gone Girl (David Fincher)
It's rare for a film to leave me totally hopeless and frightened at the prospect of the future by the time I reach its final moments, and yet still be highly entertaining, clever, sardonic, hilarious and relatively absurd throughout its entire runtime. The last film to have such an immensely personal effect on my psyche was Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut and interestingly enough, the parallels between these two films aren't hard to spot, both of them being unsparing, satirical critiques of the institution of marriage. Fincher has crafted here what I believe to be his most complete masterpiece yet. No Fincher flick has impressed me this greatly with regard to its mercilessly witty commentary on society and interpersonal relationships.
6. The LEGO Movie (Phil Lord & Christopher Miller)
I don't think anyone thought The Lego Movie would become one of the top films of year, as rarely does a family film resonate with such a wide audience. It featured a plethora of wacky and memorable characters, goofy cameos, and an exciting plot full of action and laughs. Not only was it exciting and over the top in all the right ways visually, but it also featured one of the catchiest soundtracks of the year. The film captures the joy and wonder of a child creating an adventure with LEGOs and brought it to the big screen.
– Sam Paulson
5. Under the Skin (Jonathan Glazer)
Under the Skin speaks to us in its own alien language of cinema, though remarkably without much dialogue. It took director/co-writer Jonathan Glazer ten years to become fluent, and with astonishing ease, he compels us to behold some of the most beguiling and visionary images in the medium. It might be puzzling at first, but keep your eyes and ears open — close engagement and repeat viewings yields deep themes of feminism, fear and human connection. Under the Skin may be ahead of its time, but it has a lot to say; soon enough its rich vocabulary will start slipping into the way we think about cinema.
– Robert S. Hummel
4. Boyhood (Richard Linklater)
What can be said about Boyhood that hasn't already been said? It somehow both perfectly encapsulates Linklater's dedication to portraying reality through film and flips it on its head by making that reality extend over a period of twelve years. Between the excellent performances, the beautiful, but never showy cinematography and the nostalgia-tugging soundtrack, Linklater once again strikes cinematic gold.
– Casey Simonson
3. The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson)
The Grand Budapest Hotel has been hailed as the most "Wes Anderson-y" film made to date, but to limit its scope to this descriptor would be unfortunate. Its luscious color palette and outstanding cinematography (a token of Anderson's style) makes the film as sweet as Mendel's pastries. The mostly charming, but sometimes dark screenplay is sharp and witty, the effect enhanced by an incredible cast headlined by Ralph Fiennes. The film reaches beyond the experiences of a veteran hotel concierge and into a heartfelt romance between young lovers and for that narrative reason – among others – it is incredible.
– Jordan Aaron
2. Whiplash (Damien Chazelle)
There isn't really a character in Whiplash that's likeable. JK Simmons is abhorrent as the abusive music conductor Terence Fletcher and Miles Teller's Andrew Neyman is absurdly pretentious, carrying his over-inflated ego and arrogance with him wherever he goes. But damn if these characters aren't interesting. The film crackles with energy and tension that builds so high that you think your head is going to explode and ruin the nice clothes you are wearing.
– Ryan Ciecwisz
1. Birdman (Alejandro González Iñárritu)
A movie that stands on a tightrope with no harness and no safety net, Birdman is simply one of the most audacious and triumphant movies of 2014. In an immersive sixteen shot edit, Alejandro González Iñárritu harmonizes theatre and cinema in an experience all its own. Matched with the outstanding dedication of its actors and a stellar performance by lead man Michael Keaton, Birdman satirizes Hollywood with delicate and deliberate humor. Through the clever illusion of a single shot, we are given unbridled access to the raw, anxious and surreal mind of Riggan Thomson in a movie that will make you remember what the cinema is for in the first place.
– Josh Tomany

he Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust is a charity working to save wetlands for wildlife and people. It has a particular emphasis on birds.
Founded by the artist and naturalist the late Sir Peter Scott, in 1946 on the banks of the River Severn in Gloucestershire, Sir Peter believed in bringing wildlife and people together for the benefit of both. Today, WWT runs nine Centres around the UK, including one each in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each is different, but all are important for wetland wildlife. The WWT usually provides a very visitor-friendly environment, often bringing the visitor right into the areas where the birds are. Unlike some other organisations, the WWT centres are not reluctant to intervene and manipulate birds for the visitors, with floodlit shows and regular, large-scale feeding of wild birds.

DifRent | Good. A brand agency. London. Glasgow.
Good have been working with Sigma Capital and Gatehouse Bank plc to create a brand for over 900 new Private Rental Sector homes in the North of England.
The result, DifRent, aims to convey the new, secure and affordable way of renting houses being pioneered by the development. The properties are targeted at those who can't afford or don't want to own their own homes.
Renters can however expect the stability and security that comes with homeownership, with innovations such as an onsite handyman to keep properties safe and well maintained, whilst also creating a sense of community.
DifRent is not only the schemes name but will work in tandem with the design work as the cornerstone of a language platform created to clearly communicate the USPs of the new brand and its properties.
We look forward to seeing the results and impact the scheme will have on how people consider homeownership and the concept of renting.


Hi! This BCC forum has lots of lively threads, in particular the 'bones mets - please join in' thread where lots hang out even if not bone metsers. Or did you mean are we on a different forum altogether?
Hi Tracy, you must be in shock, what a rollercoaster few months. I also have lung mets and bone mets too. I was dx for secondaries Jan16 (primary in 07) and was terrible last year with breathing etc but have improved now significantly - first 2 chemos didn't suit and third is working (finger crossed !). I also have kids, 12 and 15.
Once you are clear on what treatment you will be on, life will become much more bearable. This is the hardest stage but you will get through this and life will be different but in time it becomes normal and children are amazingly resilient. Many lung metzers survive for many many years (ignore any stats you see, they are apparently very out of date) and there are so many new drugs being tested it has to give us all hope.
Whilst being devasted like you, I had a brilliant year last year because I threw everything into living with cancer and not dying of it. I travelled loads, did tons of wonderful things with my kids and got married. I feel much better and am feel in control of what happens to me and over the next few months you will build up knowledge and feel the same, I hope.
A warm welcome from the forum where there is real people living with cancer. There is always someone here to offer kindness and help ..so feel free to rant and moan ..we have all been there and got the teeshirt.
I'm hoping our lovely Funny Face will be reading this as she has been living with lung Mets for eleven years and is our inspiration to keep going.
I'm afraid I can't help much as mine are still only bone Mets but scan soon might change things !!
Try to focus away from the " c" word if you can by doing something nice each day even if its just a hot chocolate or a bar of chocolate ,walk or mine I'm afraid is retail therapy .....eBay is my best friend !!!
Hi everyone I was diagnosed in October 2016 with TNBC started treatment in Nov so still have one more tax tomorrow. I found out yesterday's I have lung nodules which are cancer so it's metastasised. I am numb at the moment as still having treatment for primary Bc. I have 2 girls one who's 20 and one who's 8. All along we have said it will be a long year but I'm sure after treatment I will be better. But now this isn't the case and don't know what to say to them. Both my husband and I are devastated and don't know what to do.
