22: How to go from good to GREAT - 10 tips to fine-tune your documentary with others' ideas

Each documentary filmmaker has their own way, own thoughts and own methods from realism to poetry, from being in the film to refraining from being visible. As there are stars in the sky, there are ways we innovate. Learning from others inspires. Here are some ideas from the masters which will help you reflect on fine-tuning your film.
Let's start with Michael Moore who has 13 rules for making a documentary.
I chose the two I really GET.
1: Don't make a documentary — make a MOVIE. He believes we should not use the word 'documentarian'. "From today this word is dead!" he declares. He tells us to make movies, tell stories, find a narrative. "Call yourself a filmmaker, that's what you are. You make films!"
2: I think it's important to make your films personal, people like to hear the voice of the person. Most films that have had the most success are the personal ones". I agree with Moore - think of Searching for Sugarman by Malik Bendjelloul, Camera Person by Kirsten Johnson, Stories We Tell by Sarah Polley, and On the Way to the Sea by Tao Gu. All are films where the filmmaker is largely present, like Sarah Polley, or in the background where we are aware of their presence.
Second on my list is the gracious Agnes Varda, the French artist/ documentarian/storyteller of both fiction and documentary. She discusses her creations for the Hollywood Reporter where she says:
3: "I never wanted to say anything, I just wanted to look at people and share. It's what I call cine-writing . . . cine-writing is all the elements we have to choose, or use, to make something that can be shared."
4: "I stayed faithful to the ideal of sharing emotion, impressions, and mostly because I have so much empathy for other people that I approach people who are not really spoken about. I have 65 years of work in my bag, and when I put the bag down, what comes out? It's really the desire of finding links and relationships with different kinds of people."
Varda Filmography
Third on my list is Werner Herzog. This German filmmaker of both documentary and fiction films is complex, complicated, radical, and I guess, love him or loathe him. I go with he first.
5: "Read, read, read, read, read, read, read — if you do not read, you'll never be a filmmaker,"
6: "Just because something is factually true, it does not constitute truth per se." Herzog believes that one can bend the truth. Like Moore, he calls documentaries films - "they're all movies for me."
7: He wants to "film into the abyss", go beyond, deep into the complexity of the human soul and human nature. (Excerpt from "Encounters at the End of the World" by Werner Herzog, 2007, at the end.)
Herzog Filmography
The fourth on my list is Lindsay Anderson the British filmmaker of both fiction and documentary, whose goal was to understand and respect "ordinary people". Considered an anarchist, he broke away from the conventions of the BBC, making documentaries with sensitivity and beautiful camera work. Behind his lens was always a critic or observation on society. My favourite is his first short: O Dreamland which you can view for free at the BFI
8: 'What is required is a cinema in which people can make films with as much freedom as if they were writing poems, painting pictures or composing string quartets'
9: "Fighting means commitment, means believing what you say, and saying what you believe."
Anderson Filmography
The last is the Iranian poetess Forough Farrokhzad, who made only one ethnographic documentary, The House is Black, about a leper colony in Iran where she treats the subject matter through poetry and grace. For Farrokhzad, poetry was a way of seeing and feeling the world. She used symbolisms and metaphors visually where the written word was not quite enough. The Shah of Iran broke down in tears after watching the first screening of the documentary.
The first words of her film open with these words of poetry which slide slowly and rhythmically throughout the work. There is only one piece of actual dialogue.
On this screen will appear an image of ugliness, a vision of pain no caring human being should ignore, to wipe out this ugliness and to relieve the victims is the motive of this film and the hope of its makers'.
Michael Moore: This work has been released into the public domain by its author, Carlos Latuff.
Forough Farrokhzad: Unknown author. Before 1967. This work is now in the public domain.

San Diego Convention Center Stairs, a photo by Marc_Smith on Flickr.
Earlier this evening I let my husband talk me in to running the stairs at the San Diego Convention Center for 30 minutes. Yes, you read that correctly. I willingly ran stairs- 2,200 of them to be exact. It was grueling- and pleasantly empowering, and even a little cathartic once I found my rhythm- but mostly grueling. I'd like to say I did it for my health, but to be honest, I was procrastinating. The thought of going home after work to play catch-up on two weeks worth of blog posts actually sounded less appealing than inducing intense pain in my thighs.
If you follow my little blog, you probably think I've fallen off the wagon. I assure you I'm not about to let that happen with mere weeks left of my 365 project. I've been busy creating summer tutoring curriculum, trying out new recipes for the Mr.'s new health kick, and scrawling my creative musings on random bits of paper. My creative life seems to be in draft mode again, so I haven't been sharing in a timely manner. I've become a bit (O.K., a lot) overwhelmed with all the creative quandaries occupying my mind, and I'm finding it incredibly hard to focus and see things through to completion.
thousands of baby steps, deep breaths, self pep talks at the bottom of steep inclines, overcoming overwhelm, proving to myself that I can do it...and praying like hell that I won't trip and fall flat on my face.
Leave it to a perfectly timed metaphor to bring me back to my sharing place.
It is highly likely that I won't be able to walk for the next couple days, so I'll be here on my couch, finishing drafts of past posts, attempting to put the pieces together in a happy linear way. On the other side of overwhelm there is peace and clarity. I just have to get up that next set of stairs.


Initial coin offerings have been an evolutionary follow-up to crowdfunding. However, both fintech and blockchain rarely stay static for long. A new form of token issuance has emerged alongside ICOs, and it relies on the direct usage of an exchange as a launchpad.
Initial exchange offerings (IEOs) are a great means for projects to reach out to investors while making the funding process extremely easy and secure. The traditional ICO communicates through its Telegram and, on a sudden date, releases a smart contract address for token purchases. This form of fundraising has led to an incredible amount of scams as investors are duped into clicking wrong websites, accepting proposals from fake community admins, tricked into purchasing wrong tokens, etc.
ICOs are a great way to raise capital for blockchain projects but scammers exploit the existing ICO infrastructure. Additionally, the cryptocurrency space is quite new and many interested investors are used to broker-based investment services. Thus, an exchange-enabled token offering provides a more secure and familiar means of investing in new token offerings.
ProBit is created with the single intent of developing the world's greatest digital asset exchange. Thus, the exchange is soon going to be a pioneer of initial exchange offerings.
ProBit's community-centric vision goes beyond its extremely low trading fees—which go as low as 0.025%, a figure well below the fee structure of other cryptocurrency exchanges. In an effort to benefit the community, ProBit is bringing its ability to operate on low fee structures to even IEOs. Existing exchange launchpads charge up to 20% to projects; this cuts into a large portion of the funds raised from IEOs and this hurts both investors and the project.
ProBit's low fees on IEOs ensure that almost all the money investors intended to provide a project with is certainly provided to the project, while still enjoying the convenience, security, and access provided by a ProBit IEO.
Teams benefit beyond just low fees as ProBit's large and constantly growing community and user base are able to note the projects being listed for an IEO on ProBit. This is a direct market that most other projects would otherwise never be able to access. On top of this, ProBit regularly engages with investors in the South Korean Crypto community; projects will have co-marketing opportunities. Thus, ProBit's IEOs offering an all-round beneficial service for both investors and project leads.
One key issue that could be raised is that IEOs create an opportunity for hackers to walk off with investor funds allocated to project's token offerings.
ProBit's delivery of IEOs makes token sales not only secure for investors by making sure there's no room for scammers to dupe new members of the Crypto space, but the exchange also leverages one of the most advanced security developments. As the vast portion of funds are held in cold storage, the assets remain out of the hands of any hackers. Moreover, the exchange utilizes world-class security infrastructure ensuring any breach attempts are easily crushed.
For an exchange, serving the community is a priority. IEOs aim to do just that by protecting investors from unscrupulous teams. The funds allocated in an IEO will be under abidance with what the project has promised its community. As ProBit conducts a thorough due diligence, projects that launch an IEO on ProBit immediately signal their legitimacy to the Crypto space.
Some projects that initially declare a soft cap and fail to hit it often keep investor funds and pursue a project they clearly lack the funds to complete. This leads to a complete loss of invested capital. Initial exchange offerings on ProBit ensure that such scenarios never take place. If a project is unable to keep to its promised terms, investors will be protected and their capital will be returned.
ProBit's entry into the IEO space disrupts the new form of fundraising by bringing highly competitive pricing to the market, despite the exchange's ability to outdo the security of most other digital asset exchanges.
SPIN Protocol, a revolutionary e-commerce system, will be hosting its IEO on ProBit from February 11th. SPIN will benefit from ProBit's existing reach, while providing its community a secure and easy means to participate in the token sale.
While ProBit has just launched its IEOs, the demand is high due to our ability to provide strong liquidity, community reach, and security. There are 5 other IEO candidates for just February.
ICOs have been marred with unscrupulous teams and Telegram scammers; the concept of seeking investors to send capital to a contract address listed on a Telegram channel can be easily exploited. Shifting initial coin offerings to launch pads on an exchange maintain the benefits of an ICO while nullifying all the problems.
ProBit aims to maintain the most competitive IEO pricing in the industry, just as it has done with its incredibly low trading fees.
Be sure to enjoy our new give-aways, contets, and trading competitions!

ROCKZ, a Swiss Franc stablecoin, has been listed. Share $11,000 worth of RKZ.
Korean Won Cash month continues till end of February! Deposit Korean Won at https://probit.kr to get lottery tickets for $200 in daily prizes.
We always have something fun going on; keep up with all our current events here.
ProBit seems to me a very interesting bet, because it gives you security and does not give rise to scammers..!! Excellent article thank you for sharing.
We strive to make the Crypto space secure.
Its true to find a trusted project in this crowdy place. Every step gets fear be like in some mine.
Any projects that want to participate in an IEO can apply through our website.
Users can use the IEO platform to participate in the token sales (on the exchange).
Really interesting. I'm going to look more into this! Keep up the great content!
Happy to have your interest.
Great content, You've been whitelisted.
Feels good to see ICOs as that's the absolute best way to make money in crypto market. Also when it promises that it can deliver, in an already congested market place, we would be more than happy to invest.
Though the Telegram groups have been annoying it can still be used as a huge means of promoting your coins too.
All in all, seems like a promising deal to see an IEO like Probit.
Telegram channels are great but they can be a snake pit for new investors. ProBit's IEOs ensure token sales remain safe for all.

Where the Bird Sings Best (Paperback)
By Alejandro Jodorowsky, Alfred MacAdam (Translated by)
The magnum opus from Alejandro Jodorowsky—director of The Holy Mountain, star of Jodorowsky's Dune, spiritual guru behind Psychomagic and The Way of Tarot, innovator behind classic comics The Incal and Metabarons, and legend of Latin American literature.
There has never been an artist like the polymathic Chilean director, author, and mystic Alejandro Jodorowsky. For eight decades, he has blazed new trails across a dazzling variety of creative fields. While his psychedelic, visionary films have been celebrated by the likes of John Lennon, Marina Abramovic, and Kanye West, his novels—praised throughout Latin America in the same breath as those of Gabriel García Márquez—have remained largely unknown in the English-speaking world. Until now.
Where the Bird Sings Best tells the fantastic story of the Jodorowskys' emigration from Ukraine to Chile amidst the political and cultural upheavals of the 19th and 20th centuries. Like One Hundred Years of Solitude, Jodorowsky's book transforms family history into heroic legend: incestuous beekeepers hide their crime with a living cloak of bees, a czar fakes his own death to live as a hermit amongst the animals, a devout grandfather confides only in the ghost of a wise rabbi, a transgender ballerina with a voracious sexual appetite holds a would-be saint in thrall. Kaleidoscopic, exhilarating, and erotic, Where the Bird Sings Best expands the classic immigration story to mythic proportions.
Alejandro Jodorowsky was born to Ukrainian Jewish immigrants in Tocopilla, Chile. From an early age, he became interested in mime and theater; at the age of 23, he left for Paris to pursue the arts, and has lived there ever since. A friend and companion of Fernando Arrabal and Roland Topor, he founded the Panic movement and has directed several classic films of this style, including The Holy Mountain, El Topo and Santa Sangre. A mime artist, specialist in the art of tarot, and prolific author, he has written novels, poetry, short stories, essays, and over thirty successful comic books, working with such highly regarded comic book artists as Moebius and Bess. Restless Books will be publishing three of Jodorowsky's best-known books for the first time in English: Donde mejor canta un pájaro (Where the Bird Sings Best), El niño del jueves negro (The Son of Black Thursday), and Albina y los hombres perro (Albina and the Dog Men).
Alfred MacAdam is professor of Latin American literature at Barnard College-Columbia University. He has translated works by Carlos Fuentes, Mario Vargas Llosa, Juan Carlos Onetti, José Donoso, and Jorge Volpi among others. He recently published an essay on the Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa included in the Cambridge Companion to Autobiography.
"Where the Bird Sings Best is Alejandro Jodorowsky's brilliant, mad and unpredictable semi-autobiographical novel. Translated by Alfred MacAdam, this multigenerational chronicle introduces a host of memorable characters, from a dwarf prostitute and a floating ghost-Rabbi to a lion tamer who eats raw meat and teaches his beasts to jump through flaming hoops. Fantastical elements aside, Where the Bird Sings Best is a fiercely original immigration tale that culminates in the author's birth in Chile in 1929—a complicated time in that nation's history. Combine that with poetry, tarot and Jewish mysticism and you have a genius's surreal vision brought to life."
—NPR Books, Best Books of 2015
"Wildly inventive.… Jodorowsky's masterpiece swirls around the reader, lurching from violent episode to mystical encounter to cosmic sexual escapade as we follow our narrator's grandparents' journey from the old world to, refreshingly, South America. As the drama unfolds, the reader's response veers from incredulity to awe, from doubt to delight. The momentum holds for the length of the novel as a cavalcade of outsized characters careen across the page in a frenzy that seems for once an adequate and just representation of the living fury that is history.… The images possess an extreme yet striking beauty.… In the case of Where the Bird Sings Best, he has masterminded a success."
—Askold Melnyczuk, The Los Angeles Review of Books
"This epic family saga, reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude in structure and breadth, reads at a breakneck pace. Though ostensibly a novelization of the author's own family history, it is a raucous carnival of the surreal, mystical, and grotesque....It weaves together Jewish philosophy, passion, humor, Tarot, ballet, circuses, natural disasters, spectacular suicides, lion tamers, knife throwers, Catholic devotion, farmers, betrayals, prostitutes, leftist politics, political violence, and the ghost of a wise rabbi who follows the family from the Old World to the New."
"First, a hard-boiled fact: No one alive today, anywhere, has been able to demonstrate the sheer possibilities of artistic invention—and in so many disciplines—as powerfully as Alejandro Jodorowsky.… His new semi-autobiographical novel Where the Bird Sings Best, translated by Alfred MacAdam, is his magnum opus, a fantastical something that in many ways mirrors the author himself: It is brilliant, mad, unpredictable.… It's not difficult to see why Where the Bird Sings Best has been compared to Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. But Jodorowsky's saga stands firmly on its own…. Reading Jodorowsky is not suspending reality; it is allowing yourself to believe that with imagination, anything and everything is in the realm of possibility.… You can't be certain as to what exactly Jodorowsky is channeling in Where the Bird Sings Best—but it doesn't feel like it's native to our universe. Still, in this absurd and glorious carnival, he is the only one worthy to be called the keeper or tamer of anything."
—Juan Vidal, NPR Books
"Jodorowsky is today's true Renaissance man—a master of many mediums that all point directly towards a towering and imaginative vision replete with profound insights into the real by way of the surreal. The stories told in Where the Bird Sings Best contain deep moral lessons, giving his mythic immigration story the feel of a modern day Sefer-ha-Aggadah—the classic collection of Jewish folk tales drawn from the Mishnah, Midrash and Talmud. This long awaited and brilliantly evocative translation is a must read—frightening, hilarious, outrageous, touching, and (as is always with Jodorowsky's work) filled with a deep core of mystic truth."
"A sweeping tale of personal, philosophical, and political struggles. It's an immigrant's story of Fellini-esque proportions….For the self-proclaimed atheist mystic, the sacraments are memory, dreams, family, wisdom, the grotesque, and the reinvention of the self….Publisher Restless Books reminds us that during Jodorowsky's decades-long absence from cinema, he maintained his status as a notable Latin American novelist….A conduit and biographical key that further reveals his mesmerizing process of imaginative self-fashioning."
—Jonathon Sturgeon, Flavorwire
"In his ancestral adventures, Jodorowsky brings to life not just the engaging story of his own family, but the mechanisms of engagement underlying story itself. Each paragraph pulsates, threatens to burst from its burgeoning body of details. Jodorowsky relieves pressure as necessary. But time after time, he proceeds to build up and dazzle all over again. One gets the sense when reading that at no point did Jodorowsky ever come up with something and save it for later. Each individual section is endowed with Jodorowksy's full vitality."
—Benjamin Abramowitz,The Jewish Book Council
"I find myself impressed by his dilatory imagination, love of pure spectacle, and puckish sense of humor.… Sober, dressed, and with all the lights on, I ripped through Where the Bird Sings Best—the first of Jodorowsky's many novels to appear in English translation—in just a few enraptured days. The trick is to eschew caricature and give yourself over to the experience, at which point the wondrous strange takes over. The mind—and, god help me, the spirit—finds itself traveling in realms it could not have otherwise explored, or even dreamed exist.… Where the Bird Sings Best is electrifying."
—Justin Taylor, Barnes & Noble Review
"A modern prophet."
—Camilo Salas, VICE
"A man whose life has been defined by cosmic ambitions."
—Eric Benson, The New York Times Magazine
"Alejandro Jodorowsky is one of the most inspiring artists of our time. His bravery, fearlessness, and relentless innovation is a reminder of true creativity in a world full of people who hold back their true thoughts out of fear and corporate reasons. I would like to take the opportunity to thank him for inspiring a generation of brave new thinkers. I watched The Holy Mountain on repeat while working on My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. His sensibilities drove me to make my most progressive work to that date. Simply put, Jodorowsky is a prophet of creativity. For those who know, the mere mention of his name commands respect."

If there was any doubt that streaming media was the next step in the evolution of home entertainment, that uncertainty should be completely dispelled by now. Streaming is no longer the purview of first-adopters, or even early adopters — it's mainstream AND Main Street.
…the number of US homes with an SVOD subscription just crossed the 50% mark. It could be that the 50% barrier was broken by SVOD even earlier than that. Digitalsmiths reported that the number of people saying they used an SVOD service crossed the 50% threshold sometime in 2014. In Q3 2015, the company says 56% of people report using SVOD services.
Furthermore, "According to Nielsen, there was a 100% increase in video usage through streaming media players between Q3 2014 and Q4 2015.
Beyond the big three, namely Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, there has been a broad expansion of streaming video options, services which deliver an alternate movie-centric experience or which cater to the special interests and focused, niche activities, which have undoubtedly fueled the surge in usage among American households. Viewers are now able to discover services which appeal to their specific interests, with far more choice than was available just a couple years ago. Shudder appeals to the horror aficionado, FlixFling to the indie fan, Docurama to the student of documentary, CuriosityStream to those interested in the natural world and history. There's HBO Go and CBS All Access. Where there were only a few, now there are many.
While movies are still the leading type of programming accessed via streaming, the technology and use by businesses with varid interests has moved beyond entertainment. For example, budding guitar players can learn from some of music's best players from Guitar World Lessons. Shape magazine recently profiled 13 streaming fitness services which cater to interests ranging from barre to pilates, yoga to tribal dance. Yet another example: of the top 50 megachurches with attendance over 10,000 each week, over 90% have stream programming, either live or VOD, via their website, Roku and/or other channel. What was once the purview of the Fortune 1000 media company is now well within the reach of far more modest enterprises with audiences numbering in the thousands, rather than the millions.
Admittedly, the technology has evolved tremendously rapidly as well, making the establishment and sustainability of streaming services economically viable and technically practical. With back-end services such as Limelight, Ooyala and Brightcove and others managing the content and delivery, as well as developers such Giant Interactive, developing user interfaces and experiences, taking a VOD service public is no longer a hugely expensive proposition, but rather one which can be accomplished with the help of knowledgeable partners and a collection of compelling programming.
Still, the reason these streaming services continue to grow both in library size and subscriber volume is that they are delivering on the promise of a personalized media experience, whether with specialized original content (i.e.: Netflix's Daredevil or Amazon's Bosch) or by way of complementary online communities which turn a chore into an salubrious experience (i.e.: Susan Bowen Fitness's SBF Streaming).
As market and household usage metrics continue to tick upwards, the need for content owners to be active and accessible in the space, and to provide an experience which is personalized and engaging will continue to grow. Don't miss out.

Anti-CAA Delhi protests funded by Jamia Millia Islamia alumni based in Middle East, Delhi Police tells court
TOPICS:Anti-CAA RiotsAnti-Hindu Delhi RiotsIslamic TerrorismIslamismJamia MilliaMiddle East
BY: HinduPost Desk April 28, 2020
A court here on Monday sent arrested Jamia Millia Islamia Alumni Association President Shifa Ul Rahman to 10-day custody of Delhi Police Special Cell, with police claiming that "anti-CAA protests at the varsity and other parts of Delhi were funded from the Middle East", reports news agency IANS.
"… it is revealed that accused Shifa Ur Rehman received funds from members of alumni association of Jamia Millia Islamia based in Middle East countries and he was co-coordinating at the protest sites," the Delhi Police Special Cell said in its application to seek 12-day police remand of the accused.
Seeking his remand, police told the court that Rahman"s name had popped up during the questioning of Ishrat Jahan (Congress leader), Khalid Saifi, Meeran Haider (RJD youth wing chief), Safoora Zargar (Congress' NSUI links), Gulfisa, Tahir Hussain (AAP councillor), and three members of the Popular Front of India (PFI).
"Shifa-Ur-Rehman is also found actively involved in a conspiracy hatched in setting up anti CAA/NPR/NRC protests at various sites in Delhi, giving hate speeches that led to the riots in February 2020 at various protest sites, i.e., Jamia Nagar, Shaheen Bagh, Seelampur, Khureji, Inderlok and Hauz Rani," the document said.
Rahman along with JMI members, namely Areeb and Badre Alam, and other members of JCC (Jamia Coordination Committee) visited various protest sites in Delhi to coordinate the protests.
He was arrested by the Special Cell on Sunday under Sections 120B read with 124A, 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder) along with other sections of the Indian Penal Code and 3 & 4 of Prevention of Damage of Public Property Act 1984, 25/27 of Arms Act, and 13, 16, 17 and 18 of Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
During questioning, he allegedly admitted that he was president of AAJMI (Alumni Association of Jamia Millia Islamia) and member of JCC (Jamia Co-ordination Committee). Police also claimed he admitted that he was actively involved in recent anti- CAA/NPR/NRC protests organized by the JCC with the support of several other student groups/organizations which finally resulted in the riots.
While the Crime Branch of the Delhi Police is investigating the February riots, the Special Cell is probing the larger conspiracy behind the same.
Another FIR lodged by Delhi Police names controversial ex-JNU student leader Umar Khalid as one of the orchestrators of the Delhi riots. The FIR says that Umar Khalid made provocative speeches at two different places and appealed to citizens to come out on streets and block the roads during the visit of the U.S. President Donald Trump – the goal being to spread propaganda at global level about Muslims being oppressed in Bharat. Danish, a resident of Bhajanpura, was assigned the task to arrange a mob from outside Delhi, while women and children were mobilised to block the road at Jaffarabad metro station that would inconvenience the people living in the vicinity, leading to riots. In this conspiracy, firearms, petrol bombs, acid bottles and stones were collected at numerous homes.

TJ Wrangler vs YJ
Last Updated December 30, 2019 | Sam Padgett
Transmissions and Gearing
The Jeep Wrangler has been a consistently reliable and loveable vehicle throughout the years. From its inception, there has been a steady following of the Jeep Wrangler that has made its fandom quite enduring. That being said, amongst the many different flavors of Wrangler, the YJ and the TJ are as distinct from each other as any other generations of Wrangler could get. To be the true Wrangler expert, we have outlined the many visible, and invisible differences, between these two makes of Wranglers.
First off, let's talk about the YJ. This was the first Wrangler model to be made after the rise in popularity of the original CJ Jeeps, being sold from 1986 to 1995. In addition to being the first Jeep to be sold under the name Wrangler, it also began to broaden its prospective customer base by tweaking its ride and frame to drive more smoothly and function better on the pavement. This model was brought about because of the lackluster success of the CJ-7 Jeep. While still a capable vehicle, the CJ-7 lacked all of the creature comforts that were becoming the norm at the time. The YJ was a big effort to push the Jeep into the mainstream, and by many degrees, it was successful.
The TJ is the sequel to the YJ and the second-ever Wrangler model to be sold. It was produced from 1996 to 2006. Visually, the TJ took a step back, borrowing many of the design cues of the original CJ Jeep, returning to the old circular headlights and traditional windshield wipers. For all intents and purposes, the TJ exemplifies the typical Wrangler look. In terms of broad performance differences, the TJ recouped some of the lost off-roading abilities of the YJ by raising the vehicle a tad and swapping leaf springs for a coil spring- suspension system. Besides these few performance improvements, the TJ really did just begin as a YJ in different clothes. While the later TJs from 2003-2006 began to diverge farther from the YJ, up until that point, they both shared some of the same engine options, transmissions, and axles.
The TJ also marked the genesis of one of the most competent stock off-roading rigs out there, the TJ Rubicon. This trim level has been held through every successive line of Jeep Wranglers, even on the Jeep Gladiator pick-up as well. The first Rubicon was released in 2003, when the TJ began to seriously diverge from the YJ. There are a variety of trim options on the YJ Wrangler, but they primarily differ in terms of interior amenities and design options. One of the more popular trim levels of the YJ, for example, is the Sahara, which came with better seats, a stereo with a cassette player, and bumper-mounted fog lamps.
These are probably two of the easiest Wrangler models to differentiate. The square headlights of the YJ are a dead giveaway. These are one of the more controversial design choices of the YJ Wrangler. This single design choice has warranted enough ire that in some Jeep circles the YJ is known as either the "Yuppy Jeep" or, more succinctly, a "Wrongler." There are additional exterior differences, however. The grille of any Wrangler is the standard method for telling apart any two types of Wrangler. On the YJ, the grille slots are a bit taller than the TJ, and the grille has a slight bend to it. The turn signal lights on the YJ are located directly beneath the headlights, while they are located to the left and right of the headlights on the TJ. Finally, the windshield wipers on the YJ rest right on the windshield as opposed to laying flat by the hood. The hood of the YJ also has a distinct shape. Unlike the TJ, it more aggressively tapers toward the grille.
YJ vs TJ Wrangler: Engine Options
Considering the YJ was released nearly a decade before the TJ, the available engine options are nearly entirely different. That being said, performance is only important to a degree for Wranglers. One look at a Jeep's blocky design will tell you they aren't made for speed. Naturally, the TJ performs better than the YJ both on road and off, but not by a measure that completely invalidates the YJ's capabilities. For both of these models, there are only gasoline- powered engines available, as the first diesel-powered Wrangler was the JK.
The transition from YJ to TJ was a bit slow at first, with the TJ carrying over the 2.5-liter straight 4 and the 4-liter inline 6 engines at first, eventually replacing them in 2002 for the DOHC 2.4-liter. That being said, the engines from the YJ were tuned to perform better on the TJ.
Wrangler YJ Engine Options
Torque (lb.-ft.)
2.5 L AMC straight-four engine(fuel injected) 121 hp 135 lb-ft
2.5 L AMC straight-four engine (multi-port injection) 130 hp 139 lb-ft
4.2 L AMC straight-six engine 112 hp 210 lb-ft
Wrangler TJ Engine Options
2.4 L PowerTech I4 (Post-2003) 147 hp 165 lb-ft
2.5 L PowerTech I4 120 hp 140 lb-ft
One thing to be wary of is that these Wrangler models did change a fair amount through their lifespan. While they may all look the same, there can be some huge differences between two YJs and two TJs based on their specific year of creation. For example, any YJ made before 1993 would lack anti-lock brakes.
YJ and TJ Wrangler Transmissions and Gearing
There are a lot of transmission options on both the YJ and the TJ. Given the nature of Wrangler drivers, it's basically assumed that each successive Jeep model will come with the option of a manual, as well as an automatic. As can be seen below, at this point in the Wrangler life cycle, the majority of transmissions available were indeed manual.
Wrangler YJ Transmission Options
Automatic or Manual
3-Speed TorqueFlite TF904 Automatic
5-Speed Aisin AX-5 Manual
5-Speed Aisin AX-15 Manual
5-Speed Peugeot BA-10/5 Manual
Wrangler TJ Transmission Options
3-Speed TorqueFlite 30RH Automatic
4-Speed Ultradive 42RLE Automatic
5-Speed New Venture Gear NV3550 Manual
6-Speed Chrysler NSG370 Manual
YJ and TJ Wrangler Dimensions
Overall, the sizes of the TJ and the YJ don't differ by that much.Because of the modularity of any Wrangler, the range of the dimensions of both the TJ and the YJ can deviate a bit. For example, a soft top will be quite a bit lighter than a hard top, and each engine and transmission option cause their own fluctuations in weight as well.
Dimension and Other Specs
Wheelbase 93.4" 93.4"
Length 151.9-153" 151.2-154.9"
Width 66" 68.3"
Height 69.6-72" 70.2-71.1"
Curb Weight 2,855-3,241 lbs. 3,092-3,857 lbs.
The one thing that has never changed on the Wrangler it its off-roading capabilities. While they have gotten better over the years, stock Wranglers of all models can outperform most 4X4 vehicles on the trails.
A YJ came with a Dana 30 front axle and a Dana 35 on the rear, while the TJ came with a Dana 30 front axle and a Dana 35c in the rear. The TJ Rubicon came with the option of having Dana 44 front and rear axles. One of the more significant differences between the YJ and the TJ has to do with the frame and suspension. Compared to the YJ, the TJ's frame was given a 100 percent increase in torsional stiffness. The frame was an additional 15 percent stiffer with an additional 8-inch lift. Even more important than that, the TJ used a four-corner quadra-coil suspension in lieu of the YJ's leaf springs.
Now that the JL is out on the market today, both the TJ and the YJ have become classics. Riding in a YJ is almost like listening to the early albums of a band you really like. Even though the Wrangler has changed over the years, the core of this vehicle remains the same. Since the Wrangler is meant to be customized, each base model is more of a Wrangler "preset" rather than an entirely different vehicle. Starting from a YJ, you could replace enough parts to where it could be basically identical to a JK. With that being said, YJs are cheaper than TJs, not only because of their age but also because they are seen as more of a fringe Wrangler model (people are really attached to those circular headlights.) All in all, the YJ is a great entry point into the Wrangler line if money is an issue, and since the Jeep aftermarket community is one of the absolute best, you will be able to easily fix and modify your Jeep to your liking.

Since the YJ, the Wrangler has been a cornerstone of the American automotive scene. Nearly every road you will drive on will have a Wrangler on it at some point. If you want to learn more about the Jeep Wrangler, or simply want to flex your Jeep knowledge, this article is for you.
Jeep Wrangler Body Styles
What is the difference between a Jeep JK Wrangler and a Jeep TJ Wrangler, and furthermore, what do those letters even mean? Since the inception of the original Jeep Wrangler in 1986, there have been several variations of the well-loved off-roading vehicle. From the first-generation YJ Wrangler to the fourth-generation JL Wrangler, here is a breakdown of every Jeep Wrangler model to date!
What Is a Sway Bar?
Sway bars, often referred to as stabilizer bars or anti-roll bars, are featured in many vehicles to help prevent vehicle body roll and lean, especially when cornering. Sway bars are attached to the chassis, helping connect both the right side and left side in order to stabilize the vehicle while still permitting each side's suspension to move on its own. While sway bars are great for certain driving applications such as on the track or on the trail, the purpose that each sway bar serves will be quite different depending on the scenario. Let's look at Jeep sway bars and how they improve performance off-roading and on the street.
What Is a Transfer Case?
Transfer cases are found in all four-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive vehicles and help distribute power to both the front and rear wheels. Transfer cases for four-wheel-drive vehicles, including Jeep transfer cases, typically come with two different gear settings — high and low — for low-speed rock crawling and situations where more traction is needed. Connected the rear of the transmission, the transfer case directs power through the driveshafts to both ends of the vehicle.
History of Jeep Wrangler
The Wrangler can trace its history from 1948 till today. Though some aspects of the vehicle remain unchanged, Jeeps have certainly grown and changed throughout time, and in this resource center article we explore when and why these changes occurred.

Fumito Ganryu was first inducted into the hallowed halls of Comme des Garçons in 2004, taking on the role of pattern maker at Junya Watanabe. In just three years, he moved on to produce his own line, Ganryu, appended with CDG as with the other designers — like Watanabe — in Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe's nest. Now, he's taking flight.
Following a departure from the CDG family in 2017, Ganryu is due to present his eponymous label Fumito Ganryu at Pitti Immagine Uomo 94, taking place in Florence from 12 to 15 June. The brand's ethos is said to be grounded in the relationship between body and garment, with the designer hinting at distinction between his labels, new and old: "I will do my best to express my vision, taking it to new directions," said Ganryu.

Josh has been awesome and has pointed me in the right directions to help me get started. The first challenge was the Kanekalon Hair. In Australia its approximately AUD $20 - $25 per bag. So I will be clearly buying it from the USA for about USD $2.50 - $3.00 per bag, a HUGE SAVINGS ! Thats almost 4-5 Wookies worth of hair in Australia. I will be ordering my hair and utility mesh in the next few days. Should keep me out of mischief for a while.
As for my wookie build, I am approximately 180cm tall and an athletic build. So for me to build my Tarfful like the above picture, I am going to have to make some padding/muscle suit under my actual Wookie suit. Has anyone else had to do this ?
From the picture, would it be right for me to assume the wearers foot is at Tarffuls knee ? I love the size and bulk of this guy.
Anyway, if anyone has any tips, feedback or suggestions please yell out. I am going to document a detailed build log for everyone and future builders.
I don't know who the owner of this wookiee is. Only thing is, this is not Tarfful Looks like it, but the blond parts in the fur and the armor are different.
I'm also building a Tarfful and I use a skater safety jacket for more muscle. But I also see people use American Football shoulder protection. Depends on your build I guess.
I'm about 1.90 m and made some lifts from scratch where I glued my shoes in. Have you looked into stilts? Maybe that's a good option for you.
Hi Adam! I made parts of this suit. This is not tarfful although the colors are close. The body is closer to a merumeru than than tarfful and the head is pretty unique as well.
The person in costume, was not wearing any padding other than on the thighs to off set some leg issues. Otherwise he was that big looking. So depending on what you want to achieve, will depend on what you do under the suit.
The wearer had his stilts go mid shin. what you are seeing is a picture thats in mid stride. The way we built those stilts then, they looked awesome walking, they just were overly huge.

How Realignment Did and Didn't Change Texas A&M Recruiting
It made a difference, but it's less clear of one than what we had with Missouri.
By David Wunderlich May 19, 2015, 10:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: How Realignment Did and Didn't Change Texas A&M Recruiting
Matthew Emmons-USA TODAY Sports
Don't miss the follow up post on how A&M's 2012 changes affected recruiting in the whole region. -Ed.
Yesterday, I took a look at how realignment changed Missouri's recruiting. Today, I'm focusing the lens on Texas A&M to see how the move to the SEC did, and did not, change the way the Aggies bring in talent.
If you just write a narrative without looking at the numbers, you'd guess that Texas A&M gets the vast majority of its players from its talent-rich home state. On that count, you'd be correct. You might also guess that after the move to the SEC, the Aggies would begin to do more recruiting in the SEC West states, just as Mizzou did with SEC East states. On that front, you'd be wrong:
Total Signings
TX Signings
LA Signings
AZ Signings
TX Pct.
LA Pct.
2002 23 22 1 0 95.7% 4.3%
2003 24 24 0 0 100.0% 0.0%
2009 28 24 3 0 85.7% 10.7%
All numbers here and throughout the piece are from Rivals.com.
The one state that A&M began getting players from that it didn't before the SEC move is Arizona. Kevin Sumlin's staff began pulling a few players from out there, including current starting quarterback Kyle Allen. Unless there is some kind of SEC fervor out there that I'm unaware of, I'm not going to chalk that change up to realignment.
Since 2002, which is as far back as the Rivals.com recruiting database goes, TAMU hasn't signed a single player from Arkansas or Alabama. It signed seven players out of Mississippi over that span, but they're spread out from 2004-15 and all of them were JUCO transfers.
Louisiana has been giving the program a notable number of players of late, but that trend started with Mike Sherman's first full class well before the SEC move. Aside from Sumlin's transitional class, at least 9% of A&M's signings have come from Louisiana since 2009. Numbers-wise, TAMU joining the SEC hasn't resulted in more Aggies hailing from SEC West states. The same goes for the SEC East states, with one player from Missouri in 2012 (which probably shouldn't even count for these purposes) and one player from Florida in 2015 being the program's only signings from over there since realigning. Again, that trails the program's talent haul from Arizona in the same span.
One place we do see a change is in the quality of the recruiting classes. Here is a look at the past decade of Aggie recruiting in regards to 4-star and 5-star prospects:
The blue chip percentage for Dennis Franchione's last two years was 19.5%. For Mike Sherman's four years, it was 24.7%. Since the SEC move in 2012, it's been 48%.
Because Texas A&M changed coaches the same year it changed conferences, it's impossible to tell how much of the change was due to Kevin Sumlin and how much was the lure of the SEC. We've heard recruits cite getting to play in the SEC as a big reason why they chose A&M, but for what it's worth, Missouri did not experience an increase in its blue chip percentage since changing leagues. For MU, it has continued in the same 4-8% range with an occasional single-year jump higher than that. It might not be worth that much though, since Texas has lots of blue chip talent within its borders and Missouri doesn't. With Mizzou having replaced its Texas recruiting with recruiting in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee, it doesn't have that a unique conference affiliation pitch in the way that A&M does inside its own state.
I did some more investigation work into at whose expense the Aggies' blue chip recruiting gains came, but that'll be coming tomorrow. For now, we can conclude that conference realignment probably helped Texas A&M on the recruiting trail, but so did Kevin Sumlin's arrival.
Realignment did not, however, lead to a new influx of players from the previous SEC states to College Station.

It has been amazing to see the success of my first book '50+ iPad lessons for Exciting Sentences,' co-written with Alan Peat.
Thank you so much for the support with this and the positive feedback. It is great to see the ideas being used to great effect!
We are now working hard on our next few releases, with two books currently being edited, we are in the process of writing a book focusing on using iPads to improve writing fiction. I wanted to share a sneak preview of just one idea from this book.
Now if you cannot wait for the books to find out how to do this, there are still plenty of courses I am running between now and the end of the year for you to book on. Details of every conference and course can be found HERE!
Warning - This blog post has no ideas for use in the classroom!
Tomorrow, I turn 30. I don't know why, but I felt compelled to write about it! I am not dreading turning the big 3-0 as many of my friends are, in fact, I embrace growing older as see it as a beautiful thing, a privilege denied to many. What turning 30 has made me do is reflect, reflect on everything I have done and look at everything I want to do.
The teaser trailer, it is becoming an integral part of movies and is usually the trailer for the trailer. The teaser trailer is aimed at creating a buzz with the audience and usually asks more questions than actually answering any.
So if the aim of a teaser trailer is to tease and leave the audience excited and wanting more, discuss this with children to get them thinking about how this is done.
To use this in the classroom, children may need a little background about the Star Wars films. I am not suggesting you watch them all, even though the original three should be part of the curriculum but discussing the huge success, a little about the story and the huge expectation of this upcoming film. Here are some questions you could ask about why this is a great example of a teaser trailer.
More constrained writing... Hiding messages in writing!
I had to edit the original clip as the man uses inappropriate language at the end.
I knew this would be a great short clip to use to build tension in children's writing. I shared the clip stopping at 10 seconds explaining that what the man is doing is wrong and clearly something you should never do, hence the reason for the barriers. At 20 seconds, I asked the children to list some adjectives to describe how the man may feel? At 30 seconds, I asked the children to suggest what would be the worst thing that could happen now? We then watched what happened.
Sentopiary is an app that I came across a couple of weeks ago and is a fantastic way to support and challenge children with their understanding of grammar.
The app has two modes to play - a free 'create' mode that allows children to simply build sentences by using a grammar-based tree structure.
The challenge mode tests children's understanding of different word types by identifying them in a sentence. There are 4 levels of difficulty covering different terms and tenses.
Teaching higher order reading skills such as deduction or inference doesn't have to be done only through text. Simply browse The Literacy Shed to see how animations and short films can aid children in thinking beyond the literal!
Still images can be just as useful to get children answering questions and justifying their answers with evidence and clues from the picture.
Weemee is a website and an app that allows children or teachers to easily design their own avatars.
They can design every aspect of the face, choose an outfit, change hairstyle, add different objects or hobbies and place the avatar in different scenes.
Teachers can use this tool to create characters and pose questions where children will need to answer giving evidence from the picture.
Is this character old or young?
Do you think he enjoys his job?
Can you think of a word to describe how he feels?

After thirteen hours in the beautiful King's Casino here in Rozvadov, Ukraine's Mykhailo Gutyi has won the coveted gold WSOPE bracelet and the first-place prize of €61,299 for beating 386 other entries in Event #4: €1,100 No-Limit Hold'em Turbo Bounty Hunter.
This is the sixth bracelet for Ukraine, Gutyi, joins the illustrious list of Ukranian bracelet winners which already includes Oleksii Kovalchuk, Eugene Katchalov, Igor Dubinsky, and Oleksandr Shcherbak. This is also Gutyi's biggest live cash ever, he was overjoyed to have won the bracelet, as did his rail. He finished in 2nd place earlier this month in the WSOP Circuit Bounty Hunter tournament, he came 17th in the Circuit Main Event and min-cashed the COLOSSUS. Gutyi mentioned he would now also play the WSOPE Main Event later this month.
The more notable names that joined Gutyi on the final table included Philipp Zukernik, Vangelis Kaimakamis, Angelos Pettas, and Darko Stojanovic.
At 5 PM local time, the tournament started with almost 100 players in their seats already. The defending champion, Martin Kabrhel sat down from the start and as usual, could be heard from almost every corner of the biggest poker arena of Europe. Also sitting down in the first level was Asi Moshe who won his second bracelet only a few hours before. Kabrhel was off to a good start by eliminating Daniele Ruocco when Kabrhel had turned a straight while Ruocco had flopped trip eights and got no further help on the river.
By the time the tenth level had started, last year's numbers had been surpassed when the total number of entries hit 328 players. With reentries being possible for the first twelve levels, players were busting and reentering all the time. By the time the 30-minute dinner break started, 380 entries were showing on the clock with registration closing with 387 entries, in the end, creating a total prize pool of €255,226. Players who bit the dust without cashing include Romain Lewis, Anson Tsang, Carlo Savinelli, Michael Soyza, Narcis-Gabriel Nedelcu, Shaun Deeb, Chris Ferguson, David Urban, and many others.
Piotr Wiecek managed to find a double on the bubble with pocket jacks against the ace-king of Thomas Hofmann but Manig Loeser wasn't that lucky with his pocket jacks when he ran those into the ace-queen of Vangelis Kaimakamis. Kaimakamis flopped a queen and no help came on the turn or river for Loeser as he became the bubble boy. The bust-outs then started coming in fast and furiously, players like Renato Kaneoya, Jakob Miegel, Fahredin Mustafov, Rex Clinkscales, Jessica Pilkington, and Jeff Madsen.
Kabrhel lost most of his stack when he doubled Dutch Boyd up. Boyd held ace-jack and Kabhrel was trying to get Boyd's bounty with pocket tens. Boyd flopped two pair and improved to a full house on the turn to double up. In the end, Florian Sarnow was the one to collect Kabrhel's bounty in a three-way all-in situation. Sarnow held pocket jacks, Kabrhel ten-seven, and Aaron Duczak had ace-king. The jack on the flop sealed the deal for Sarnow to get a full double-up paid by Duczak and eliminate Kabrhel.
With three tables left, the bust-outs didn't slow down at all, Casey Kastle lost all his chips when he ran pocket kings into the pocket tens of Jonas Kilian who rivered a straight. Duczak's jacks couldn't win against the ace-seven of Andrey Ivlev. Boyd lost a bunch of his chips when he doubled Wiecek up who ended up flopping a set of nines. Maria Lampropulos then dealt Boyd the final blow with jack-nine while Boyd held ace-jack. The nine on the flop meant Boyd's bounty went into her pocket. Cord Garcia was eliminated when his shove was called by Sarnow who held pocket nines and flopped quads.
The turbo format was very noticeable when the final two tables were reached, first Alexander Konovalov was sent to bed, then Roland Israelashvili busted five minutes later. Ten minutes after that, Danny Covyn and Lampropulos were eliminated in a space of 2 minutes from each other. Less than ten minutes later, Rozvadov regular Martin Dietrich ran his pocket treys into the ace-queen of Kaimakamis. A minute later, Fabien Baldelli lost it all to Darko Stojanovic with king-eight.
