Wendell Carter spent one year with Duke before declaring for the NBA
By elvafeng 418 days ago
The mother of former Duke player Wendell Carter gave an emotional speech at the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics in Washington, D.C. Monday Tyus Jones Jersey, comparing current NCAA rules to slavery.
Kylia Carter said the current system is why there is so much corruption within the NCAA and that it s unfair for athletes to not benefit from playing.
When you remove all the bling and the bells and the sneakers and all that, she said via ESPN , you ve paid for a child to come to your school to do what you wanted them to do for you, for free, and you made a lot of money when he did that, and you ve got all these rules in place that say he cannot share in any of that. The only other time when labor does not get paid but yet someone else gets profits and the labor is black and the profit is white https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/austin-rivers-jersey-c-17.html, is in slavery.
To be honest with you, it s nauseating.
The convention was organized in light of the Rice Commission s recent report and the ongoing corruption that has affected college sports, especially basketball.
Carter addressed a crowd that consisted of mainly white high ranking university and NCAA officials, ESPN noted. She about spoke about her grandmother and mother working on cotton fields in Mississippi.
This would be even harder to say in the crowd, but I can say it here, she said in a hallway following the meeting. It feels intentional. It feels like it was built this way intentionally. I can t move that from my thoughts.
Should the NCAA be removed? Yes https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/kyrie-irving-jersey-c-19.html, because I don t trust it, she said. You re not to be trusted because your intentions are clear. Let s call this group in the middle, let s call it something else. Let s put some real reform in there and call it something different and get rid of the current status quo because it s based on indentured servitude.
Wendell Carter spent one year with Duke before declaring for the NBA Draft this year. His mother said players spending just one year in school doesn t do much for them, since most of them aren t staying in college for more than a season.
You tell me it s about education, and we re giving you this fabulous education for your son to come to school here, so you re paying him with the education for his talent, she said. If that s what you re paying him — you re paying him with education — why aren t you making sure he gets it? Why aren t you assigning somebody to him so if he is a one and done https://www.dukebluedevilsjersey.com/jabari-parker-jersey-c-18.html, why didn t you automatically assign him an academic advisor so that when he leaves he s got someone in his ear talking to him about the value of that education he left behind?
Wendell doesn t have that problem because I m going to be there like a jackhammer, but all of the other kids, the thing you pay them to come to your school and do, most of them don t ever get it.

Characteristics of quiet Sun cell and network brightenings

Received 10 April 2000 / Accepted 16 August 2000
Extreme ultraviolet observations of the quiet Sun are made with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS ) on board the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO ). It has been previously noted that frequent transition region brightenings occur in both the bright network and dark cell regions. Analysing 1125 events, we determined the characteristics of the brightenings in the cell and network regions which include the duration, energy, and intensity increase above the background. Network brightenings are found to be larger than cell events occurring with a mean duration of 150 s and releasing an average of ergs per event. Cell brightenings, on the other hand, last for an average of 96 s and release ergs per event. It has also been found that the distribution of energy is a power-law which is different in the cell ( =2.5) and network ( =1.5) regions. When the entire quiet Sun region is analysed the value of is 1.7. The number of events per CDS pixel is approximately the same, and a histogram of the ratio ([peak value - background]/background) shows similar values for both the cell and network. It is important to analyse the cell and network regions separately in the context of coronal heating by such small flare-like events.
Key words: Sun: corona Sun: transition region Sun: UV radiation

Tradition. Innovation. Character. Drive.
These words come to mind when you think of Georgia Tech Athletics and our historic program in the heart of Atlanta.
Now it's time to write the next chapter in our storied history as we focus on what makes Georgia Tech the most unique college athletics program in the nation. From defining our colors to the introduction of a new mark, we're celebrating our past while looking toward the future.
Our tradition defines us, but tomorrow is ours for the taking. This is Georgia Tech.
Up with the White & Gold
True to our history
White & gold - the two colors that define us at Georgia Tech.
Since the first mention of official colors back in April of 1891 to the storied tradition of the Ramblin' Wreck, white & gold are in our blood. A complementary color of navy blue, rooted deep in the history of Georgia Tech, rounds out the palette.
The First Colors
The Atlanta Constitution article above from April 5, 1891 is the first known reference of school colors - white, blue and gold.
The 1894 gold ring
The earliest known class ring from Tech - bears the seal of the Georgia School of Technology, the original name of Georgia Tech and features the three official colors - white, blue and gold.
Tech Gold
The new Tech Gold is based on the paint scheme of the Ramblin' Wreck.
Represented through a nonmetallic and a metallic color blend - Tech Gold maintains consistency.
Tradition redefined
The iconic Tech Tower letters, the tradition of Georgia Tech and the innovation of our institute inspired a sharp, bold mark that both celebrates our history and points us to the future. Whether you are a recruit, an alum, a fan or a student, this is the mark that defines Georgia Tech Athletics and who we are - adorned on our fields, our courts and our uniforms.
Why this mark?
A Georgia Tech athletics wordmark has never officially existed. This mark will consistently represent Georgia Tech on our fields, courts and uniforms.
Created through a partnership between Georgia Tech Athletics and IMG College Licensing, this mark pays tribute to the history of the Institute and looks toward the future.
Modern Take
The mark bridges the tradition of Georgia Tech with the innovation of the Institute. You'll see the traditional "T" taken straight from Tech Tower - as well as modern elements in the G, R and H.
Where will this mark appear?
The new mark will be in the endzones of Grant Field, the baselines of McCamish Pavilion and in other areas where the words "Georgia Tech" are represented across Athletics.
As the official logo and the most recognized mark for Georgia Tech Athletics, the interlocking GT will now only be displayed with our primary colors on the inside: white and gold. A blue accent outline can help define the logo on light-colored or gold backgrounds while maintaining the integrity of the mark.
Within Athletics, the available options to display the interlocking GT have gone from 40 to just eight.

Upgrading the Bergara B14
Posted by William Maxwell on 2021 Dec 23rd
I recently listened to a podcast where the main focus was custom ammo manufacturing. It was brought to my attention that aside from .223 rem/5.56x45mm NATO, 6.5 Creedmoor is the most popular cartridge in the country. After pondering that statement for a few minutes, it made sense. It takes everything the venerable .308 win does and improves on it for the most part:
It shoots further, faster, and flatter.
Higher ballistic coefficients.
Less recoil.
Inherently more accurate.
Easy to hand-load.
Great for hunting and precision rifle work.
And to round it all off, it looks like the military will be switching over to it. In the big picture: more and more manufacturers will be ramping up cartridge production to try to win that lucrative government contract. What that means for the end-user: more ammo availability.
So why are we talking about this? Because, internally, I wanted to know why I currently don't have a 6.5 Creedmoor in my safe. I've had a few in the past; Ruger American Hunter, Mossberg MVP LC, and a DPMS Panther that was re-barreled with a Criterion 6.5 CR pipe. Aside from the AR10, I wasn't shooting them to any distance, so they got traded away. The gas gun was more of an experiment that spent some time in the back of the safe before it was ultimately sold.
As I fall deeper and deeper into the abyss that is precision rifle shooting, I have used everything from .308 to different 6mm cartridges and the awesome 6.5x47mm Lapua. Except for.308, I have never fully committed myself to a high-performance commercially available viable precision round. Time to change that, but there's a catch. I decided I would buy a factory 6.5 Creedmoor and slowly improve it to something unrecognizable.
GETTING BASELINE DATA
I went with a Bergara B14 HMR. I once had a B14 HMR in .300 Win Mag, and I loved everything about it… except the cartridge. Before making any modifications, I wanted to get some baseline data, so I threw on a Primary Arms PLx 6-30x Mil-Dot scope and a bipod and headed to the 100-yard range.
The ammo I was using was the leftover hand loads for the DPMS/AR10 project, mildly loaded 140 grain Hornady BTHP and 142 grain Sierra Matchkings on top of 41.5 grains of H4350. I wasn't concerned with the loads being dialed in because this was just a break-in period. However, the results were astounding. I did the typical "clean between rounds" for the first couple of shots while zeroing the optic. I then shot a couple 3 round groups while cleaning in between and then got to the last two 5 round groups: .872" and .680". I thought it was a fluke, so I loaded up 9 more rounds just to see what would happen… .559". No Fluke.
You might ask, "why would you bother changing anything at that point?" Well, the Bergara B14 is not the most comfortable gun to shoot, being that it has essentially an improved hunting stock. The stock is light, lacks grip adjustments, and the forend is slim. It also lacks the modularity that I have become accustomed to with chassis systems. If I needed a slick hunting rifle, the B14 in its current state would be fine, but I wanted a legit precision rifle. The rifle did have a threaded muzzle to which I would attach a brake. The trigger was mediocre.
I pulled the barreled action and swapped the factory trigger for the Geissele Super 700 taken off the 6GT build. After changing the trigger, I dropped the barreled action into MDTs budget-friendly XRS Chassis System. I topped it (tipped it?) off with the MDT Elite Muzzle brake. We added the XRS enclosed forend ARCA rail for some added stability and modularity.
Note: before swapping all that out, there were several range trips to continue breaking in the rifle. As the throat wore in, the groups opened up across the board. At this point, groups hovered around 0.8" to 1.2" with factory ammo and the 140-grain BTHP hand loads. Also, in 5 round groups, having a single flyer became more common.
BACK TO THE RANGE
Since the factory B14 stock is considered a mini chassis, I wasn't necessarily expecting accuracy improvements with no human factor. I was expecting a more comfortable experience to make shooting more consistent. My observations:
Factory ammo (Federal 123 grain OTM, Winchester 140 grain BTHP) was shooting right in there as expected in the prone – 0.8" to 1.1". The major improvements were seen in the comfort behind the gun and recoil mitigation.
Practicing PRS style positional shooting was A LOT easier due to the chassis. (We will explore this in a later article)
I've converted most of my bolt guns and accessories to ARCA, so swapping the forend to the enclosed ARCA was a considerable improvement for modularity.
The goal is to take a factory rifle and make it on par with my other bolt guns. What do I do with those other rifles? Compete. So what's the next step? I'm not satisfied with the groups we're seeing, even with some preliminary load development. In the following story, I will spin up a new barrel and do a full load development. Depending on the weight of the rifle, we're going to balance it out and make a competition-ready rifle.
William Maxwell currently serves in the United States Army. After returning from his first deployment in 2015, he started building firearms and focused heavily on pistol and carbine training. In 2018 he fell into the rabbit hole of precision rifle shooting. He spends his free time competing, reloading, editing digital content, and writing. He can be reached via Instagram @maddmaxxguns.


Who's in charge of your career?
If it doesn't feel like it and you've begun to ask yourself how you got here and where you want to go, you've come to the right place.
You were hired to do what you do best. You are paid to achieve results. With it comes recognition, a pay raise and possibly even stock options. If you are outstanding, a ticker tape parade in the hallway. In the early phases of your career, that matters. You are motivated. Goal-oriented. However, over time, money and the perks associated with your status may no longer be an incentive.
Your needs are changing. Moreover, if you're not in control, motivation and self-esteem will often hit the skids.
Consider a career plan. It's your GPS to help navigate the waters of your working life.
Assessing your skills, strengths, and needs is an investment in your life that will pay dividends in renewed confidence and self-direction. You will know where you are and where you are going.
First, discover what career phase you are in now.
The answer is typically a list of accomplishments and successes.
In an ideal world, the give and take between a company and their employee should be about equal, 50-50.
Unfortunately, what clients have shared with me is closer to a 90/10 split. 90% of the compensation is coming from the employee. The verdict: don't bank on your company as a source to resuscitate your drive to learn and grow.
In which career phase do you see yourself?
You are considered a newbie with a high learning curve. Moreover, you are blazing with confidence and a drive to get ahead. The job will test your mettle and learning capacity. As your successes multiply, so does external credibility. The money is OK.
You are viewed as capable but still learning. Confidence and ambition are accelerating. The organization sees you as an "up-and-coming player." You're growing into your identity and career. With more accomplishments and experience, your salary increases.
You are proficient and are on the cusp of mastery. Learning inspires you, but at a slower pace. The once fierce drive to succeed may waiver. Management and your peers perceive you as credible and "right up there." Your compensation surges.
You have arrived. However, the glory of a fat salary, promotions and the fulfillment of your status as a subject matter expert are in the rearview mirror. There may be a sense of emptiness. Motivation and drive are a mere trickle. You have a desire to change jobs, but you believe the choices are few. Moreover, those options always pale in favor of the comfortable status quo.
Resentment, boredom and isolation have eclipsed the hunger to grow and learn, and a sense of feeling trapped has emerged. The idea of leveraging your expertise is abhorrent to you, regardless of the money. This emotional turmoil can bleed into your personal life.
Have you have found yourself in one of the five phases? That's a start! Knowing where you are and who you are is critical to taking charge of the next step in your career. Your employer may or may not be able to support your growth. A competitor of theirs may appreciate not only what you have accomplished but also where you want to go in your career.
With a career plan, you are in the driver's seat.
When is the best time to start planning the next move? The easy answer is any time, but I recommend the third phase.
Why? Because you have the time to carefully look for your next position as a "passive candidate." Your focus is on your next move. You are in a much stronger place career-wise. You are not running from a dangerous situation.
Note to employers: The old days of using "golden handcuffs" to keep critical employees are going the way of the dinosaur. A talented professional is motivated to keep learning and developing. I suggest that you sit down with each employee and request a career plan. Strike a delicate balance between the goals of the company and the employee.
It takes some courage for each of us to look at the truth of what is best for the company and what is best for a career.
In the final analysis, everyone wins.

Bollywood celebs pray for disaster-hit Japan
By IANS-CT / March 17, 2011
New Delhi, March 12 (Calcutta Tube) A host of Bollywood personalities, including Amitabh Bachchan, Shekhar Kapur and Madhuri Dixit have expressed grief at the devastation in Japan, which was hit Friday by a massive earthquake followed by a tsunami.
The celebrities are shocked at the images of the country after the disaster and, in postings on their blogs and social networking site Twitter, they hope that the pain and suffering will subside soon.
Here's what they had to say:
Amitabh Bachchan: The horrible visuals of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan are just unbearable to watch! The fury of the devastation and the helplessness of those that suffer is petrifying. In this hour of grief our heads bow down in prayer and hope, for those that face this trauma and wish that we can through our thoughts give them solace and comfort.
Shekhar Kapur: Watching videos from Japan was like watching an apocalypse. Heart and prayers go out to people of Japan.
Madhuri Dixit: Can you believe another quake and tsunami? My heart goes out to them.
Gul Panag: My heart goes out to all those affected by nature's fury in Japan. Gut-wrenching images on TV.
Vivek Oberoi: Just got back and saw the heartbreaking images of the tragedy in Japan… brings back memories of the destruction and devastation I saw during the tsunami in India. The images we see on television are nothing compared to the real pain and anguish of the people going through it… my thoughts and prayers are with them.
Shahana Goswami: Feel really helpless and upset with the tsunami and what its done to Japan. All the support and love to the survivors.
Aftab Shivdasani: Shocking visuals of the earthquake in Japan… Dreading the loss of life there. It's nature's way of saying do not spoil the planet… Must respect nature before it gets too late. My condolences and deep compassion to all those who lost their loved ones in this unforeseen fury of nature. May the divine bless the souls.
Arshad Warsi: God be with the ppl of Japan…
Siddharth: The visuals of yesterday (Friday) still haven't sunk in. It's all so very tragic. 2012 does seem like just another doomsday prophecy anymore!
Shahid Kapoor: Spread the love people… Life is just too short… Japan could have been us… Live with no regrets… May god bless us all!
R. Madhavan: My heart goes out to Japan. Having lived through one in Chennai I can't even imagine how this must be.
Lisa Ray: Deeply saddened by news of natural disaster in Japan.
Sanjay Suri: Heart and prayers for all suffering in Japan. Life is so very fragile.
Divya Dutta: EverythIng that we run around for is so frivolous in front of nature's fury. Let's make every day magical as if there's no tomorrow… prayers for Japan.
Sophie Choudry: As I lay me down to sleep, can't help but think of today's (Friday's) tragedy. My heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan. Lord have mercy.
Shreya Ghosal: The Japan Earthquake, Tsunami is MASSIVE!! I am just praying… Dear God, have mercy..

Standing Up Against Federal Government Overreach
While Congress has the power of the purse, at the end of the day, it's the taxpayers' money—your money. You deserve to know exactly how it's being spent.
What's more, major decisions should not be made by unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. From the VA to the EPA and to the IRS, I've worked hard to increase transparency and accountability in the executive branch and bring some much needed accountability to the rule writers.
Here's how I'm working to increase accountability and transparency in our government:
Curbing the power of the executive branch
Unelected bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. should not be running the show. I proudly supported the REINS Act, which would require any major new rule put forth by a federal agency be approved by the people's representatives in Congress before it could take effect.
Ensuring transparency
Legislation that could potentially be passed by Congress and turned into law must be open and accessible to the American people. That's why I worked hard establish the requirement that legislation be available online for at least three days before a vote so that the American people, as well as members of Congress, have ample time to read and understand it.
Standing up for constitutional authority and a balanced budget
Our executive branch should not be spending money it isn't authorized to spend, or circumvent Congress to write laws without a vote. I will continue to stand up for the balance of powers the Constitution's framers intended, where the power to write laws remains within the legislative branch.
And I've not given up the fight for a Constitutional Amendment to require a balanced federal budget. In recent years, Congress has enacted the most significant spending reductions in modern history. That work must continue until the federal budget is balanced—permanently. Regardless of what party is in control in Washington, D.C., taxpayers need this safeguard.

What's So Important About a Super Bowl Jersey Color? Well, Everything
The Rams were quick to announce that they will wear their blue-and-yellow throwbacks in Super Bowl LIII. Given the superstitions around jersey color in the Super Bowl, is it the right decision?
By Jonathan Jones
What's in a jersey color? Everything when it comes to the Super Bowl.
The Los Angeles Rams wasted no time Sunday night announcing they will play Super Bowl LIII in their throwback blue-and-yellow jerseys, much to the delight of their fans and all viewers with good taste. This season the team re-introduced the blue jerseys, which the Rams wore between 1973 and '99 during much of its previous time in Los Angeles. In all three of the team's Super Bowl appearances, including their victory over the Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV, the Rams have worn their white jerseys.
Los Angeles wore its throwback jerseys for five of their home games this season, transitioning away from the gold since the move from St. Louis—the team plans to unveil new uniforms in 2020 to coincide with the opening of their new stadium in Inglewood. After checking with Jim Steeg, the NFL's senior VP of special events from 1979-2005, it's believed that only the '94 49ers have worn throwbacks in the Super Bowl. That year the league celebrated its 75th anniversary and San Francisco wore its 1957 red throwbacks for most of the season, so the Niners kept it going en route to their 49–26 spanking of the Chargers.
As for the Patriots, they're back in white. In their previous 10 Super Bowl trips, New England has worn their white tops five times and have a 3–2 record while wearing them. With the AFC winner getting the choice last year, the Patriots jumped at the opportunity to wear white in last year's Super Bowl since the Patriots were 3–0 in the Belichick-Brady era in white (they lost Super Bowl XXXI to the Packers in white), but we know how that turned out. As for the other uniforms, the Patriots are 2–2 while wearing blue and 0–1 in red.
There's a ton of superstition when it comes to jersey color in this game. In the past 14 Super Bowls, the team in white has won 12 times. Only the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV and Patriots last year have not won the big game in white jerseys. The Broncos wore their white jerseys in Super Bowl 50 after posting a 0–4 record in the Super Bowl in orange jerseys.
The outcome of next week's game will either reinforce the jersey color superstitions or spawn a whole new batch of them. Based on what recent Super Bowl losers wore, here are my suggestions if they make back to the game.
Atlanta lost Super Bowl LI in red and XXXIII in black. Falcons have to go with the whites next time. Carolina lost Super Bowl 50 in black and XXXVIII in white, so the alternate electric blues should be up next. And Seattle dropped both XLIX and XL while wearing blues. If the Seahawks can't get white in their next trip to the Super Bowl, they'll have to suit up in gray or, God forbid, those neon threads.

WHAT YOU MAY HAVE MISSED: Is the NFL too hard to officiate? … Alex Smith was traded last year during Super Bowl week. Here are five players that it could happen to this year. … The Patriots are underdogs in their own minds, and that's all that matters.

Top 5 Apps To Install On Your Android Device
Shaheer AnsariDecember 28, 20200 Comment077
The first thing to do when you get a new phone is to log back into all your accounts — email, Facebook, Signal, and so on — to make sure you're getting all the important notifications you need and messages from friends. But after that, you'll want to install apps that replace the default tools (like the web browser or weather app) with something better, along with apps that'll just make your day-to-day usage of the phone a lot more helpful.
Here are a few suggestions for where to start when setting up an Android phone.
There was one thing I wanted from a mobile browser this year, and Microsoft Edge had it: access to the tab switcher on the bottom of the screen. Google Chrome and Samsung Internet both require you to to move your hand to the very top corner of the screen when you want to change to another tab. Edge's placement of the tab switcher at the bottom is far more convenient to reach.
It's also just an all-around solid browser, with built-in tracking prevention options and quick access to features like reading the page aloud and finding text within a given page. (Since I last tested browsers, Firefox has moved its tab switcher to the bottom, too, and it offers tab syncing from mobile to desktop, so it might also be a great alternative to your phone's built-in, hard-to-handle browser.)
JustWatch isn't a great app — it's really buggy and often very slow — but it is a necessity: the app is basically a TV Guide for streaming services. Want to know where you can watch A Christmas Story? Type it in, and JustWatch will let you know that it's available to stream if you're a DirecTV subscriber, to rent for $3.99 on just about any platform you could want, and to buy as cheaply as $8.99. The app can also recommend shows and movies currently available on the services to which you subscribe. It won't stop you from spending an hour just looking through all the options, but it'll save you from bouncing between half a dozen apps.
Rain Viewer
I tried out at least ten different weather apps this year in search of a replacement for Dark Sky — the single best weather app out there — because it was pulled from Android in August after being purchased by Apple. After all that looking, I only found one app that could competently replicate Dark Sky's game-changing feature: providing accurate minute-to-minute weather forecasts. That app is RainViewer, and while it's not great as a day-to-day weather app, it's a must-install as a Dark Sky replacement. I haven't found it to be quite as trustworthy as Dark Sky, but it reliably informs me when rain is about to start and shows a chart predicting how heavy the rain will be over the coming hour.
1Password/Lastpass
I must have written this a dozen times on The Verge by now, and I'll happily write it again: you should be using a password manager. It's not really about remembering your passwords so much as it's about security — I couldn't tell you what my password is to Facebook, Gmail, my bank account, and so on, because my password manager made up strong, randomized passwords for each of them, and automatically plugs them in when I visit those sites. All I have to remember is my own strong password to unlock the password manager itself.
LastPass is a great free alternative, but my personal favorite service is 1Password. I started using the company's subscription family plan this year, and it's offered a really simple way for me and my wife to share passwords to joint accounts. Just a heads-up: setting up a password manager for the first time can be a little onerous, but once you're done, it's easy going from there.
Clue offers an easy way to track your menstrual cycle and predict when your next period will be. The app also lets you track your energy level, sexual activity, and other details that may be associated with your cycle. More importantly, the app has one of the clearer privacy policies out there for a service that's going to be collecting such personal data. The company says it doesn't sell users' data and that "only a few people" within the company can access your information. Some data may be shared anonymously with researchers, however.

Q: About Drawing Maps In CarpPlay I want to draw directions to a specific location in CarPlay. I realized that there are two different options that can be made regarding this. First of all, drawing a direct route from current location to the desired location. The second is to draw the route after showing our current location and selecting the location which we want to go on the map.
Which would make more sense for me to do?
Which authorization is appropriate for the situations I have mentioned?
com.developer.apple.carplay-parking or com.developer.apple.carplay-maps?
Parking or Map?
If you are developing a CarPlay application I would appreciate it if you would also write about the resources you used on the subject.

We are shooting interviews with 2 C300's Mark II and I need a very high quality. Not knowing the camera exactly, I wanted to know what do you think about the following?
Also, which frame rate is the best? 23.976, 24, 25 and 29.97? I don't understand?
Premiere supports many different file types, so I guess the native or raw file format doesn't matter?
We tend to shoot for about 8-10 hours, do you think we will past 5TB?
For a "very high quality" you need a gaffer with a decent G&E package. And, well, a DP who can shoot. It will matter much more than the resolution.
HD is usually enough for interviews, 4K (without some heavy diffusion) can be too much - do you really want to see every defect on interviewee's skin? I've even projected SD interviews (shot on an Ikegami camera with cine lenses) on big screen and they didn't look way too soft.
If there're no exact requirements for masters/deliverables, why not ask your DP about his preferred framerate?
Yes. I want to see every detail on their faces, this is the purpose of the project, allowing the viewers a closer observation and making extreme close-ups. Does anyone can come up with a preferred configuration?
It was roughly 2 GB/minute.
If you're in the United States, 23.976 is the standard for digital cinema.
Shoot an X-Rite chart at the head of every setup, it will go a long way in post.
If you are in the US, or plan to use the footage on US TV or world wide, shoot 23.976 fps. For Cinema you will convert that to 24.0 fps (world standard for DCI movies) for Europe TV you will convert to 25.0 fps by speeding up the file playback. For US TV broadcast, you will convert to 29.97 fps by adding pull down (duplicate frames).
Thank you very much. Any suggestions about what file format?


Orchid conservation is at a cross-roads. World wide orchids are diminishing as habitats are cleared or pests and diseases take their toll. Today more than ever, conservation of this remarkable and popular plant group is a crucial and urgent task. And with the Orchidaceae being one of the largest families of flowering plants, the importance of getting conservation right the first time with this group would have important collateral benefits for many other plant groups.
The First International Orchid Congress held in Perth in September 2001 represented a turning point in orchid conservation. With pivotal sponsorship from the Hermon Slade Foundation, 200 botanists, orchid professionals and regulators were brought together for the first time to both celebrate orchids and to provide a synthesis of how science might assist to protect endangered orchid species.
Delegates represented 21 countries and was the largest and most diverse meeting of orchid scientists concerned with orchid conservation. Running over five days the congress covered many of leading areas of orchid biology and conservation research including taxonomy and nomenclature standards, conservation genetics, molecular phylogeny, orchid pollination biology, propagation science including mycorrhiza, conservation legislation and reintroduction programs. International delegates were impressed with the displays of Australian orchid species and the quality and breadth of orchid conservation research being undertaken in Australia.
Field trips to orchid rich habitats highlighted the wealth of Australia's orchid flora and some of the important issues being addressed in conservation of some of the nation's more critically endangered orchids. Delegates were impressed with the organisation and support of the lead sponsor, The Hermon Slade Foundation in bringing the first congress to fruition.
The success of the first congress resulted in multiple bids to hold the next meeting now scheduled for Florida in 2004. The Hermon Slade Foundation provided key financial support for the first congress that has enabled an important series of further forums to occur to address the decline in the orchids of the world.

By using an FCM-based neuro-fuzzy inference system and genetic algorithm-polynomial neural network as well as experimental data, two models were established in order to predict the thermal conductivity ratio of alumina (Al2O3)-water nanofluids. In these models, the target parameter was the thermal conductivity ratio, and the nanoparticle volume concentration, temperature and Al2O3 nanoparticle size were considered as the input (design) parameters. The empirical data were divided into train and test sections for developing the models. Therefore, they were instructed by 80% of the experimental data and the remaining data (20%) were considered for benchmarking. The results, which were obtained by the proposed FCM-based Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (FCMANFIS) and Genetic Algorithm-Polynomial Neural Network (GA-PNN) models, were provided and discussed in detail.

UK marks Year of Engineering with £6.6m new funding for R&D
Photonics-heavy research projects part of new investment package into high-tech firms and universities.
Year of Engineering 2018: inspiring the next generation of engineers.
As the 2018 UK Year of Engineering gets underway, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has announced support for 28 pioneering new research projects, including several with a significant photonics element.
Throughout 2018, hundreds of organisations across the UK will showcase the world of engineering and look to inspire the next generation of engineers by bringing young people face-to-face with engineering experiences and role models.
Coincident with the YoE, EPSRC has announced a new package of investment of £6.6 million through the Engineering for a Prosperous Nation call to support projects with potentially transformative impact in fields ranging from autonomous vehicles to energy storage and healthcare.
As part of the Engineering for a Prosperous Nation call, EPSRC has encouraged bids for creative, novel engineering research projects with the potential to contribute to EPSRC's four Prosperity Outcomes for the UK.
Twenty-eight projects at 17 different universities have been supported, with grants awarded to researchers across all career stages and representing a diverse range of fields. Research areas include the development of intelligent driver seats to act as co-pilots in autonomous cars; the use of diamond quantum technology to investigate neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease; the use of novel materials to create artificial leaves for use in solar power generation; and the investigation of new solutions to antimicrobial resistance in wastewater systems.
Photonics-related projects
Imaging at the University of Southampton This proposal, which has attracted funding of £250,000, intends to take cutting-edge imaging techniques and use them to improve the outcomes of assisted reproduction treatment procedure also known as in-vitro fertilisation or IVF.
Whilst IVF has been used for almost 40 years now, it remains a largely unsuccessful procedure (only 26% of cycles end with a live birth) and is expensive for patients to use (around £5000 for a basic cycle, and typically more than one cycle is needed).
During the procedure, a woman's eggs are taken and fertilised by sperm in the clinic. They are then incubated for several days and the best embryo is selected and returned to the patient. The main problem to solve is that the embryologist has very little information helping them to choose, and does not know which embryo is the best.
More information at: Engineering Novel Imaging Technologies for Reproductive Health: Transforming IVF Outcomes, led by: Dr Sumeet Mahajan.
EPSRC is investing £6.6m in new R&D.
Interferometry at the University of Southampton Gravity gradiometry is a technique for measuring the difference in the acceleration due to gravity between two points. The technique, which has been in use for several decades, can identify underground oil and gas reserves, monitor ocean circulation, and detect geological faults, as well as measuring the shape of the earth's gravitational field, which is necessary for accurate navigation.
This proposal, which has also attracted funding of £250,000, aims to explore new methods to separate the required two atomic test masses required to make such measurements and couple them via actively-stabilized optical fibers.
More information at: PLAIN-GG: Phase-Locked Atomic Interferometers for Gravity Gradiometry, led by Dr Matt Himsworth.
Developing 'artificial leaves' – University of Bath The manufacturing of artificial leaves that reproduces at larger scale what plants do when they form carbohydrates by natural photosynthesis is a significant ambition for the creation of a sustainable society. Success would have the potential to cease our dependence on fossil sources for polymer syntheses, pharmaceutical manufacture, and transport applications and instead allow us to use atmospheric or flue gas CO2.
This research project aims to develop artificial leaves with halide perovskites, novel materials of unprecedented success in photovoltaics that remain unexplored in photocatalysis because they suffer from chemical and structural instability.
More information at Engineering halide perovskites for artificial leaves, led by Dr S Eslava.
Other YoE projects are listed on the EPSRC website.

Colorado is known as "hail alley." Not only does Colorado get more severe hail storms than other parts of the United States, hail falls faster and hits harder. One study found Colorado hail to be 8 percent more damaging than when hail hits at sea level. A 2-inch hailstone can really damage your roof. When Mother Nature unleashes her anger, your house can take a hit.
Replacing a roof after storm damage is something no homeowner wants to think about, but if you have to make the investment in a new roof, you should consider your options. Impact-resistant shingles can be a good option for Colorado homes. Your homeowner's insurance may require these shingles, or at the very least offer a discount for having them installed.
What Kind of Problems Does Hail Cause to Roofs?
Asphalt, wood and even metal roofs can sustain significant damage from impacts due to hail. On typical asphalt shingles, when hail impacts a shingle, some granules will come loose. These granules protect your roof from UV damage. When they start to deteriorate, it's not only unsightly, it can open up your home to leaks and water damage.
Metal roofs can be damaged by hail, much like your car roof can. The metal panels become dented. The seams can peel or tear away in heavy hail damage. Wood shakes are fairly durable against hail, but they, too, can crack or split when massive hailstones impact the roof.
Impact-resistant shingles are rated for different types of hail and damage. To be labeled impact-resistant, a shingle must be manufactured to make objects "bounce off of them." The UL 2218 Class 4 Impact Rating is the toughest. In this test, a 2-inch steel ball is dropped from 20-feet on the shingle twice in the same spot to simulate the kinetic energy of a free-falling hailstone. The shingle can't crack or break to qualify for a Class 4 Impact Rating.
Impact-resistant shingles are available in many different styles and colors to provide curb appeal. You won't give up beauty and style just to have a stronger roof. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles aren't meant to just protect your home. Homeowners have been dealing with extreme weather for decades. Manufacturers have created products that will last even under the harshest conditions while maintaining the look of your home.
Your roof is your home's line of defense against damaging weather. GAF offers two impact-resistant shingles: ArmorShield™ II Grand Sequoia IR Shingles. Both have a UL Class A fire rating, the highest possible rating and give you peace of mind with a limited lifetime warranty. You can get the strongest warranty with these shingles. A longer warranty that isn't pro-rated benefits you in the long run, making the investment even more cost-effective.
Impact-resistant shingles will cost more than non impact-resistant shingles when only considering the initial costs. However, if you live in an area that frequently sees hail and other damaging storms, impact-resistant shingles can reduce the number of homeowners' insurance claims that you need to make. Impact-resistant shingles can reduce your maintenance costs by preventing premature roof replacement.
If your insurer offers a discount for a Class 4 roof, it can offset the initial investment in the shingles. For most people, their home is their most significant investment. It makes sense to protect it with shingles that can withstand damaging storms. You'll have to check with your insurance company about discounts, but it is often worth the call.
Hopefully, a new roof isn't a regular occurrence for you. It pays to really consider your roofing options with a qualified professional who can provide quality installation, giving you peace of mind.

How 'Little' Is Normalizing Natural Hair for Black Women on Screen
The film 'Little' starring Issa Rae, Regina Hall and Marsai Martin is helping to normalize natural hair for black women in Hollywood.

Yvette Nicole Brown Shares Love for 'Ted Lasso': It's a "Gift to My Weary Soul"
Tina Gordon's film Little is trying to change the relationship between Hollywood and natural hair.
Racking up $16.5 million since opening Friday, Little follows tech executive and boss-from-hell Jordan Sanders (Regina Hall), who wakes up one day as her 13-year-old self (Marsai Martin); Issa Rae stars as April Williams, Sanders' assistant, who uses the opportunity to take charge at the office.
Along with other black-led movies such as A Wrinkle in Time, Black Panther and Us, Little is helping to normalize natural hair textures on screen, as Rae, Hall and Martin wore their hair natural during the film and throughout the press junkets.
"I believe when you're wearing your natural hair and other folks see it, people aren't afraid to wear it. I feel like it's looked down upon to wear natural hair and looked down upon as not professional. And I feel like the only way to change that is to wear your natural hair," actor Niles Fitch, who plays the teenaged Randall on This Is Us, tells The Hollywood Reporter.
This key styling decision comes at a time when black artists are saying they don't have the support they need in the hairstyling department, despite Hollywood's push for diversity.
Yvette Nicole Brown, David Alan Grier, Gabourey Sidibe and Gabrielle Union were among those to speak out on Twitter recently to voice their concerns with the way black hair is treated on set, using the #ActingWhileBlack hashtag. Many commented that the industry doesn't have enough black hair stylists or stylists comfortable with black and ethnic hair. Black actors said they were asked to come to set with their hair already done, while white castmates could show up as they were. Brown said she routinely comes to set with her hair ready or brings her own wig or hair pieces to avoid "looking crazy" on screen.
In one scene in Little, young Sanders (Martin) experiences a special kind of bullying that is all too familiar to black women. Other students take advantage of the volume of her natural hair by sticking straws in her Afro without her noticing. They also claim that she is "too broke for a blow out," alluding that her natural hair was not done properly.
When Sanders buys new clothes and shoes and finally feels comfortable in her new "little" body, she maintains her natural hair and wears it with confidence. Rae's character April also wears her hair naturally throughout the film, at the office and beyond.
The incorporation of textured hair into the plot of films like Little may lead to a higher demand for hairstylists who can do black hair. But in order for Hollywood to help normalize natural hair, Rita Parillo (head of the hair department on Little) argues in favor of more inclusive on-the-job training.
"We need to keep teaching the new stylists in the field. Stylists need to learn the difference in styling hair for film and TV from experienced veterans who have been working on various productions. It's not always glamorous behind the camera but, in my opinion, there is no better more creative and fulfilling adventure than the always-changing world of hairstyling for this incredible industry."
Carla Wallace, head of hairstyling on Black Panther and personal hairstylist to Lupita Nyong'o on Us, finds that there are lapses in beauty school education regarding textured hair. Like Parillo, Wallace emphasizes that education of stylists on inclusion is the only way to achieve parity in the industry.
"Natural hair is something that can be taught if people want to learn it. You have to be willing," Wallace told THR. "It comes down to education. As an industry, this is our greatest opportunity right now to change. We can step up to the plate to be better hair and makeup artists. People are going to have to come out of their fear to work with all types and colors of hair."
Hey, Hollywood: It's Time to Adopt the NFL's Rooney Rule — for Women (Guest Column)
At Beautycon this month, Hall spoke about how change can come by hiring black women as decision-makers on set and by diversifying the crew; for example, the Little creative team included Girls Trip writer Tracy Oliver, director Tina Gordon and executive producers Hall and Martin.
"As black creators and producers, there's more hope for black actresses," Hall said. "Being in those rooms and being able to expand the ideas and visions of people who normally make all the decisions allow there to be more opportunities, more roles, more television shows, etc."
At a recent Getty Center panel, Kerry Washington credited Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes with supporting women of color on set and creating progress in the industry by hiring hairstylists who understand ethnic hair.
"Battles that I often had to wage, boulders I had to push uphill, whether it was to have a hairstylist who understood the texture of my hair or to have a storyline that fairly addressed my experiences as a black woman, I didn't have to fight as hard when there was somebody [Rhimes] in the room who understood, who had a shared path," Washington said.
Thalia Tran, who plays Raina in Little, told THR that striving for inclusion behind the camera will further the fight for diversity on screen. "It's amazing to know that there are people out there and they're fighting for representation for everybody. It's super inspirational and super empowering [to] know that one day people are going to look up on the screen, and they're going to see people who look like them, and they're going to feel like they belong in this society — which they do!"

Transportation planning key to strategic growth
June 16, 2017 General
Smart growth means anticipating what lies ahead, and that's exactly what local leaders did at the recent DMC Transportation Work Session.
Members of the DMC Corporation Board of Directors, the DMC Economic Development Agency (EDA) Board of Directors, the Rochester City Council, and the Olmsted County Board of Commissioners came together with nearly 40 community members for a highly-engaged exchange of information about the future of transportation for Rochester.
DMC Transportation Work Session Provides Space for Fruitful Public Input
June 14, 2017 Press Releases
ROCHESTER, Minn. (June 14, 2017) – The Destination Medical Center Corporation (DMCC) Board of Directors held a Transportation Work Session today to provide an update on findings since the DMC Transportation Workshop in April.
"A sustainable, comprehensive transportation plan is essential to the success of DMC. Today, we had a valuable discussion about Rochester's needs, now and in the future," said Lt. Gov. Tina Smith, chair of the DMCC Board. "Together with the Mayor, City Council, Olmsted County Board, and the EDA Board, we looked closely at design options, with the goal of making transportation work better for people in the DMC district and throughout Rochester and the region."
Transportation: By land or by air
June 8, 2017 General
Transportation is at the forefront of urban planning and growth, and Rochester leaders are exploring how to best meet the needs of all as the Destination Medical Center initiative continues to take shape.
Transportation goals for Rochester include moving 23-30% of the workforce downtown via transit by 2035, connecting downtown districts with a circulator, and creating a world-class place for regional transit arrival and departure.
The first United Airlines flight into RST
Rochester International Airport recently welcomed its first-ever United Airlines flight bringing the city another step closer to creating the high quality of service necessary to support the growth expected as a result of DMC.
Community members weigh in on the future of downtown transportation
A sustainable transportation model is pivotal to the success of the DMC vision. And from practical solutions like dedicated bus lanes to more futuristic ideas like driverless shuttles, the topic brought dozens of community members together for the first of four Public Conversations highlighting transit for Rochester's downtown.
The informal open house, held on January 24 at the University of Minnesota Rochester, provided the public with a chance to hear from transportation consultants about the four integrated transit studies being conducted and offer their feedback on what they see working best for Rochester's future.
The future of transportation: A public conversation
Efficient downtown transportation is essential to the success of the DMC Development Plan, and local residents are being asked to help drive the future of this important component.
Integrated Transit Studies being conducted
The city of Rochester is conducting four integrated transit studies to support and advance DMC's plan. On January 24, study consultants will host the first of four public conversations to share their findings and listen to the thoughts of attendees on transportation in downtown.
Richard Freese is the director of the city's Public Works Department and feels that Rochester is a unique city requiring a unique approach to travel demand management. "Since the invention of the automobile, cities around the world have tried unsuccessfully to build their way out of traffic congestion by building more or wider roads," Freese says.


OEMs: Do You Trust Your Medical Device Supplier's Quality?
As an OEM, it is your responsibility to ensure the parts supplied to you are compliant with ISO regulations. That is no easy task. Ideally, your supplier's quality systems are strong enough to identify risks, prevent defects, and to catch defects quickly if they do occur. This requires a robust quality management system. When it comes to evaluating the quality systems of your medical device supplier, where do you begin?


This book will help you to better understand: *The cultural differences of black male college students. *The characteristics of academic failure for high risk, black male college students. *How we increase college enrollment for black men. *How we increase college graduation rates for black men. *How we keep black men engaged in college and increase performance. *How we address the social behaviors that black men are bringing to the college campus. *How we develop a strong college and career plan that encourages college completion. *The 21 laws of college success for black men.
This book is about you and no one else. Many fathers have made mistakes, but it does not mean he did or does not love you. For many fathers, it simply means he did not know, and he must be held accountable and also forgiven. Forgiving a father who has hurt you is more for you than for your father. Forgiveness is one of the keys to emotional freedom. It is time to heal. It is time to find out the full truth about your family, to forgive your father, and to start the healing process. If you're ready to face and conquer some possibly painful memories, then this book is the tool for you.


We study selective logging, forest fragmentation and secondary forest regrowth to identify impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services. Critical questions we focus on are (1) how best to manage selective logging to minimize conservation losses, (2) how best to protect and manage the recovery of degraded habitats, and (3) whether such degraded habitats will represent valuable habitats over time and under a changing climate. Our research is based in Borneo, Tropical Andes, Amazon and Brazilian Atlantic forests.
We study how best to manage and expand tropical agriculture to minimize biodiversity losses. Our research focus on (1) whether land-sharing or land-sparing farming is best for biodiversity, (2) improving biodiversity values of farmland without negatively impacting yield, (3) the development and conservation value of emerging sustainability labelling initiatives, and (4) managing the potential unintended consequences of new high-yielding crop varieties. We focus on oil palm (SE Asia and NW South America), cattle (Tropical Andes), shifting agriculture (NE India), smallholder farming (W Africa), and rubber (Indochina).
We are interested in finding cheap opportunities for biodiversity conservation and do so by focusing at the nexus of biodiversity values and economic costs. In particular, we work on the potential for logged forests that have lost much of their timber values to represent cheap reservoirs of biodiversity, and for carbon-based (e.g., REDD+) and other payments for ecosystem service schemes to offset the opportunity costs of logging and agriculture development and thus support conservation.


---- MUSILLO UNKENHOLT LAW ---- HEALTHCARE IMMIGRATION BLOG: IS THE NURSING SHORTAGE COMING BACK ?
In discussions with clients and friends of MU Law, we have begun to hear that there are nursing shortages in certain disciplines and in certain geographical pockets around the US. The shortages appear to be in some specialized disciplines (as opposed to Medical-Surgery) and in rural areas in the west and south. We have even seen reports of nursing shortages in less common areas like Massachusetts and West Virginia.
A reported in Fierce Healthcare's newsletter, nursing represented the biggest increase (40 percent) in job openings from Q1 to Q2, 2012. The Occupational Outlook Handbook continually reports that nursing will be among the occupations in shortest supply for this decade. Nonetheless, foreign-trained RN numbers continue to plummet. And it remains to be seen if anyone in Congress will show any leadership on this increasingly important issue.
Throughout 6 years of waiting this blog could release my tensions .I became current in October visa bulletin and I am going to Abudabi Embassy for interview in second of October .I wanted to update guys about my process.
@k.sh - This is terrific news. Good luck!
