Indie Trailer Sunday: Lots of Zombies in Ford Bros' The Dead
Source: Bloody-Disgusting
They're alive! This zombie movie is set in Africa that takes the audience on "a journey across Africa with the living dead in constant pursuit." Bloody-Disgusting recently debuted this new trailer for an indie horror flick called The Dead, co-directed by brothers Howard J. and Jonathan Ford. It was shot mainly in Burkina Faso and Ghana but has an international cast including Rob Freeman and Dan Morgan. It looks quite low-budget, but not too bad, something that might actually be fun to watch with a group of genre-lovers. And since it will be showing at Fantastic Fest, I'll probably be seeing it then! Check out the trailer and tell us your thoughts?
Watch the first trailer for the Ford Brothers' The Dead:
When Lt Murphy finds himself in extreme conditions. he must team up with local Daniel Dembele to find their way back to what is left of their lives whilst battling a terrifying threat in which there is no escape.
The Dead was both written & directed by British filmmaker brothers Howard J. Ford and Jonathan Ford, of indie films Mainline Run and Distant Shadow previously (if you've heard of either of them). It's set to play at Film4's Frightfest 2010, Sitges Film Festival 2010 and Fantastic Fest 2010, where it will be looking for a distributor since it doesn't have one yet. You can visit the official website located at: thedead-movie.com.

Maybe I'm just a softie for the genre but this looks worth a watch. Movies that are made on a shoestring budget can sometimes surprise the audience, perhaps this will be one of those films.
Tether on Aug 22, 2010
this actually looks really fuckin cool!!! Zombie films have never really been any good, but this grabbed my attention easily!!!
Matte Blac on Aug 22, 2010
Ah...wait...remember Resident Evil 5(the game).......someones bound to call this movie rasict. Just wait...its comming. One of the next comments...
David Banner on Aug 22, 2010
Geeze, enough with the zombie movies ... It really is time to give the zombie and vampire genres a much needed break.
Hari Seldon on Aug 22, 2010
This movie is racist! and the cinematic look of the film it's lame. Light is everything ion film.
Malcom X on Aug 22, 2010
I seriously hope you're not serious malcom. It looked cheesy and only appealing to those who love the genre. I am not one of those people.
Eli on Aug 22, 2010
while i'm not a huge fan of zombie films, this one looks worth a watch. when if first read about this a good while ago on BD.com, i wasn't expecting much - so, i'm pleasantly surprised.........
beavis on Aug 22, 2010
#4 The same thing can be said for romantic comedies. I never get the whole "a genre needs a rest" thing. If their is a market for it what's the big deal. Don't like zombies, don't watch it.
Baron the Curse on Aug 22, 2010
ok, another zombie film... mmm... how many more to come?
leinergroove on Aug 22, 2010
I like it, its a zombie movie with a different type of plot. It being set in a 3rd world country is interesting.
dove89 on Aug 22, 2010
So I have to watch a 30 second ad to watch a trailer I'm not interested in. NO THANKS I didn't wait and didn't watch
Rashad on Aug 22, 2010
A zombie movie with a district 9 feel to it... Might get bit in the buttocks but I think I'm in for watching this!
Scared S-less!!! on Aug 22, 2010
Very "real". I really like the setting, something unique for this genre.
Chad on Aug 22, 2010
that looks bit like the resident evil 5 video game. also looks like its gonna have some really cool make you jump moments. i'm in.
deadpool72 on Aug 23, 2010
#12 WTF are you talking about? there is NO "district 9 feel" to this.
@11 Rashad, i didn't watch the ad either but let it play on mute while i read some comments. i'm a zombie fan...i'm already interested...more for this than La horde...althought that looks alright...have you seen any movies in theatres? do you walk out when u're forced to watch a trailer before a movie?
chilin on Aug 23, 2010
#15 Not even a little bit? A district 9 tingle?
it seems like they took Resident Evil 5 and made it into a zombie film with heart??? IDK...
Stan on Aug 23, 2010
#8 ... I agree. I won't watch it and romantic comedies need a break a well ... In fact, so do Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts, and Matthew McConaughey AND while I'm at it so does Lady Gaga and that kid Justin Fucking Bieber!
How long till some American LIBTARD accuses this of being racist.
Geoff on Aug 23, 2010
I am not a zombie fan but actually really want to see this... It looks awesome!!
Layla on Aug 23, 2010
not a tingle............ just out of curiosity -how did you get that tingle? anyways - the movie is looking good! #19 - i couldn't agree more with the list of who/what needs a rest. (add angelina jolie to that list as well.)
As a Black man and official spokesperson for my entire race, I declare this movie non-racist. Now that that's cleared up... its hard to film in bright sunlight and maintain an atmosphere of dread but it looks like they did it. Even the pratical effects look convincing and kreepy in sunlight. Can't wait to check this out.
Uriah on Aug 23, 2010
Zombie flick + decent storyline + awesome location = a first!!! Can't wait to see this one... Love it!!!
KT on Aug 24, 2010
That looked pretty freakin cool!
Eric on Aug 24, 2010
AHaha Number 6 your post looks stupid after reading number 7. Your logic has just been shot down. But yeah looks like a good movie.
kris on Aug 25, 2010
Malcom x (comment 5) Think you should of gone to specsavers... It looks perfectly lit. In case you didn't notice it has Ghanaian actor Prince David Osei as a supporting lead... And no doubt relied heavily on Ghana for cast and crew. It's a movie not a political statement. One I would watch at the movies, get the dvd and I would goes as far as to say I would buy the t-shirt (do they have one)!
Mike on Aug 25, 2010
I hear the comments on if you like the genre - but me thinks it has a bit of cross over appeal too. Really like the look of it and massively hope it goes on general release, otherwise it's closing the doors on those who could be pulled in...
AM on Aug 25, 2010
As long as its the coloreds that are getting smoked I dont care. Don't Tread On Me 2012 we're back baby
Diehard on Aug 25, 2010
Only an ignorant racist would twist this movie to see it from a racial point of view.Its 2010 slavery was abolished over a 140 years ago get over. No one cares about anyones self righteous garbage and racial comments. This will be a great movie ,I love the whole zombie genre ,but agree with ending the whole vampire Fad.
Valcon on Aug 25, 2010
Have a look at the making of of this movie on utube, guys, it looks like the horror was not only in the script !!! Looks like those guys are pretty tough !!!! They did not shoot in South Africa, no, right in the middle of Burkina Faso. Quite interested in seeing the result at Frightfest !
Jeanne on Aug 26, 2010
I love Zombie movies.. but this one looks crap... i'll watch it cause its a zombie flick, but expectations are pretty low...
Last B. on Aug 26, 2010
The first few moments of the trailer got me. It seems like it might be worth a watch. I wonder what country they're supposed to be in?
Hey Wowza on Aug 28, 2010
#33 Hey Wowza, I liked those first moments, too, where the zombie swung that limp leg around and propped himself on it and it was apparent, though he had shorts on, that there wasn't much meat and ligament there to hold it steady. I'm a fan of convincing effects, especially practical effects or practical/CGI hybrid effects. That had a very realistic, very creepy feel to it.

Character Sketches: Professor Charlene Cox & Nicky Paul
By Diana McClure
CHARACTER: Professor Charlene Cox
Professor Charlene Cox was an elitist snob. Or so she pretended. Her nose tilted upward when she spoke creating an illusion of height so she could look down at her disciples. In the case of those taller than her, she used this head position to allow her eyelids to shade her doubting eyeballs. She often assumed she was right before anyone even spoke. In the case of her colleagues, her eyes got beady as if she were plotting strategic counter attacks, awaiting a chance to jump on the battlefield. She always enjoyed making piercing eye contact while unleashing rhetorical swords.
Despite these affectations, she was brilliant. Everyone agreed on that. She was not a case of affirmative action. She had paid her dues and then some. There was not a piece of the western art historical canon she could not pontificate upon, at least to some degree. And, if on rare occasions she found herself at a disadvantage, she'd manage her remarks to stay relevant until she could step away for some digital due diligence.
Her expertise was Cosmic Sheness. A term she coined to summarize the fact of female divinity and worship found in every culture around the globe. But, a fact cleverly absent in core curricula at most leading institutions, and most readily proved via art. Often times, she silently chuckled to herself at how irate her colleagues got at the use of the term cosmic. So comfortably settled in their negation of any reality in spirituality that their panties got in a twist when they were asked to seriously engage the topic. Professor Cox knew her secret weapon was everyone's fear of the unknown, of death really, and its use to destabilize the security of so called facts.
However, she did have one weakness that was kept well hidden, her taste for young male graduate students. Fortunately, so far, her skills at diplomacy had always worked in her favor.
CHARACTER: Nicky Paul
Nicky was brilliant. The kind of brilliant that is able to electrify a room by taking a rigorous topic and engaging it with humorous analysis - war, dystopia, ethnic conflict. He also did drugs. The latest being a current drug of choice, Molly. He claimed if you liked to dance, it was totally worth it. But, beware of the hangover. Somehow his willingness to lose control to psychedelics instilled in him the daring he needed to exercise intellect in public forums. So he made sure to pop a pill every now and then to keep himself on his toes.
A product of a colonized history, born and raised in London, educated at elite institutions, the science of the mind fascinated him. Anything that activated his mental apparatus was pure pleasure, an endless playing field.
This preference for cerebral acrobatics, inflicted with passion, was also reflected in his astrological chart. Gemini moon, mars in Scorpio. And, lets not forget ambition. That Capricorn sun propelled him to top honors at Cambridge and Oxford. A darling in the socially conscious cultural arterati, he was the man of the moment.
But, at heart, he was a mama's boy. In his prime at 45, he was still broke. His best friend John, another orgasmically pleasing intellectual, teased him about it constantly. However, usually a sensitive topic, being a mama's boy had its advantages. In America, his new home and an unsympathetic place for romantic intellectuals, his mind was only partially prized. In America, it was his flamboyance and social skill that put the money in his pocket.
Nicky knew he couldn't just look good on paper in the land of opportunity. He'd have to move the crowd. And, that's precisely what he did over cocktail chatter at exclusive private parties he managed to crash as a result of his education.
In fact, his boyish charm and skilled wordplay had landed him a few stellar recommendations and a free ride to one of Halston College's grad programs.
However, those who knew him well knew that despite his facility among over-educated adults, Nicky was a child at heart, forever curious. That trait was what kept his ideas sexy in academic circles. His mother had cultivated it. Showered with love and adoration as a child, she still owned him like a baby.

Downtown's Cadillac Ranch and Bartini's close
The dual nightclub couldn't survive without updating as new bars opened Downtown, its general manager said.

The dual nightclub that served as the stable for Downtown Indy's only mechanical bull has closed, its former general manager said.
Cadillac Ranch and Bartini's, owned by Granite City Food & Brewery, was among four establishments the company closed Tuesday, according to a press release.
General Manager Nicholas Lake said the Indianapolis location can attribute its closing to a lack of improvements and changes as newer bars and restaurants opened nearby, like Brothers Bar & Grill across the street.
"It was just due to lack of sales," Lake said. "There's more businesses Downtown and we didn't update ours.
"It's like selling an iPhone 4 for five years in a row. You have to update your establishment."

The news came as a huge surprise for the about 50 employees, Lake said, but he knew it would happen eventually.
"I've worked very hard to make that place kind of like a family," he said. "Most of my employees have been there a long time, so it's definitely a shock to all of them. I'm just sad to see everyone else lose their jobs. It's sad to see the family break apart."

A few have landed other jobs, and Lake said he's got a few leads on another bar general manager position Downtown. He said he'd try to take as many of his former Cadillac Ranch and Bartini's staff members as he can with him when he lands.
"I'm 30 years old now, and I started there when I was 23," he said. "I basically spent my 20s in the establishment. It's going to be a huge change."
In a Facebook post announcing the closing Wednesday, Lake thanked both the employees and the staff who made the clubs what they were.
"I've made some lifetime friendships bc of this place, my daughter is here because of this place, and I've grown as a man because of this place," he wrote in the post.
Cadillac Ranch opened at 39 W. Jackson Place in late 2009, and the more intimate Bartini's lounge in 2010. It became a destination for bachelorette parties, birthday parties and other events, Lake said.
"A lot of people regarded it as one of the most fun places Downtown," he said. "It's definitely going to be missing a big chunk in the Wholesale District."

Wow! I did not expect this day to come in my lifetime. Maybe I am a bit naive, but this seems a little too far. While these are "passive devices" meaning they only contain data that another device can read. They themselves cannot read or receive information. How long until that changes and what guarantees or safeguards are there in place to ensure this does not happen.
I do not want to be an alarmist, but something about this does not sit well with me. You could say it is really no different than it is today. The company already tracks my coming and going and how many copies I make. But there is a subtle difference.
The passcard or key is in my wallet or pocket and not permanently attached to me. This may seem insignificant at first, but I think there is more to it. What happens when you leave the company? Is the device removed or "disabled"? What about privacy or consent? Can a company now refuse to hire you if you don't consent to the implant?
I think there are far too many questions here that make me uneasy or even want to consider this an option. Maybe as the technology becomes more and more prevalent I will be more accepting, but I highly doubt it. I see it as never being disconnected from work. Far too many questions and far too little answers.

Miracle, Mountain, Museum: Curator Sonya Mace on Revealing Krishna
The exhibition Revealing Krishna: Journey to Cambodia's Sacred Mountain at the National Museum of Asian Art transports visitors to a sacred mountain in the floodplains of southern Cambodia. It showcases a monumental sculpture of the Hindu god Krishna lifting Mount Govardhan to protect his people from a torrential storm sent by an angry god.
In this illustrated lecture, Sonya Rhie Mace, the George P. Bickford Curator of Indian and Southeast Asian Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art, where Krishna now resides, reveals how provenance research and conservation over the last decade have led to new, awe-inspiring insights into the meaning and context of this monumental Cambodian masterpiece.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most important risk factors in cardiovascular disorders considered as a common clinical and public health problem. Early diagnosis can reduce the burden of the disease. Decision tree, as an advanced data mining method, can be used as a reliable tool to predict T2DM.
Objectives: This study aimed to present a simple model for predicting T2DM using decision tree modeling.
Materials and Methods: This analytical model-based study used a part of the cohort data obtained from a database in Healthy Heart House of Shiraz, Iran. The data included routine information, such as age, gender, Body Mass Index (BMI), family history of diabetes, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, which were obtained from the individuals referred for gathering baseline data in Shiraz cohort study from 2014 to 2015. Diabetes diagnosis was used as binary datum. Decision tree technique and J48 algorithm were applied using the WEKA software (version 3.7.5, New Zealand). Additionally, Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curve and Area Under Curve (AUC) were used for checking the goodness of fit.
Results: The age of the 11302 cases obtained after data preparation ranged from 18 to 89 years with the mean age of 48.1 ± 11.4 years. Additionally, 51.1% of the cases were male. In the tree structure, blood pressure and age were placed where most information was gained. In our model, however, gender was not important and was placed on the final branch of the tree. Total precision and AUC were 87% and 89%, respectively. This indicated that the model had good accuracy for distinguishing patients from normal individuals.
Conclusions: The results showed that T2DM could be predicted via decision tree model without laboratory tests. Thus, this model can be used in pre-clinical and public health screening programs.

United States hurricane leaves homes unmoored, power lines damaged
Search teams continued to pick their way through the ruins of Mexico Beach, the ground-zero town of about 1,000 people that was almost wiped off the map when Michael blew ashore there on Wednesday with devastating 155 miles per hour winds.
On Friday, Florida officials confirmed the storm claimed the lives of three more people in Jackson county. About 280 of the town's 1,200 residents said they planned to ride out the storm but authorities say many fled at the last minute when Michael gained more force, Mayor Al Cathey said. According to the latest report by CNN, the death toll now stands at 17.
Five people were killed in Florida and a man died in a storm-related traffic accident in North Carolina on Thursday.
Several Florida Panhandle communities were completely destroyed as a result of Hurricane Michael's wrath, which claimed the lives of at least 11 people.
About 4,000 members of Florida's national guard have been called up to deal with the storm, including 500 added on Saturday.
Social media websites were crowded with messages from those trying to reach missing families in Florida's Bay and Gulf Counties.
Marchetti said his volunteer search teams, consisting mostly of off-duty police officers and firefighters, also had rescued or accounted for 345 others previously reported to CrowdSource Rescue since Michael struck on Wednesday.
U.S. Army personnel used heavy equipment to push a path through debris in Mexico Beach to allow rescuers through to search for trapped residents, survivors or casualties, as Blackhawk helicopters circled overhead.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has called up 4,000 members of the state's national guard to deal with the deadly storm, adding 500 more on Saturday, and almost 2,000 law-enforcement officials have been sent into the Panhandle.
Based on its internal barometric pressure, Michael was the third most powerful hurricane to hit the United States mainland, behind the unnamed Labor Day storm of 1935 and Camille in 1969. It pushed a wall of seawater inland, causing widespread flooding.
Overall, well over a dozen deaths have been attributed to Hurricane Michael, which slammed Florida's panhandle as a catastrophic Category 4 storm earlier this week.
Except for the emergency 911 system, authorities in Bay County, the epicenter of the disaster, were virtually without telephone or internet service until late on Friday, making communications internally and with the public hard.
This aerial photo shows debris and destruction in Mexico Beach, Fla., after Hurricane Michael went through the area on Wednesday. "We've been writing things down on pieces of paper".
"It's nothing compared to what other people experienced and so we are not complaining here. It's washed away", she said. Search teams went door-to-door hunting victims. The area is home to a number of rural communities that are among the poorest in the state. "Everything's gone. I didn't even know our road was our road", said 25-year-old Tiffany Marie Plushnik, an evacuee who returned to find her home in Sandy Creek too damaged to live in. "I thought, 'Its going to go right over the top of them.". 18 people have died across the southeastern us because of Michael.
Experts predict that more will be pronounced dead before the rescue effort is over. He said they are ignoring intact structures and painstakingly going door to door at collapsed buildings, first making noise to alert anyone who could be inside that they are not looters, and then sending in a cadaver dog to search for any bodies.

Last year I wrote an article about the failed attempt to mandate biofuel consumption by the Governor of Washington State. To me his failure was an example of why two party political systems work better than one party systems. Bad ideas from either party (and they can both come up with some really stupid ideas) have a tougher time being implemented than good ideas.
An example of this was the Seattle biodiesel craze which came and went. The biodiesel gas stations that had sprung up have all but disappeared along with the once ubiquitous smoke belching Jettas and their biodiesel bumper stickers. Not unlike new hydroelectric dams, existing biofuel technology continues to ravage ecosystems and displace local inhabitants around the world. The genie was let out of the bottle but at least it has been largely, to date, contained here in Seattle.
A RESOLUTION stating The City of Seattle's support for clean and safe electricity production and opposition to the use of fossil fuels and new nuclear energy in the generation of electricity, and requiring an ongoing evaluation of existing nuclear power generation on the basis of health, safety, reliability, and cost; and instructing that The City of Seattle's City Light Department reflect this position in its policies and interactions with other utilities, federal and state agencies, and organizations of which it is a member or participant.
Considering that the Columbia Nuclear Generating Station is cost effective, reliable, safe, not a threat to anyone's health and is an existing station as opposed to a new one, it should, in theory, have nothing to worry about. This appears to me to be mostly an attempt to block future nuclear power plants but considering that our electricity is already so low carbon thanks to hydro, I don't see this as a big deal. Unlike many states in the Midwest, we may not need more nuclear.
The Seattle City council recently unanimously approved a resolution for the " ...opposition to the use of fossil fuels and new nuclear energy in the generation of electricity." If you do a Google search on the term "fatalities per TWh" you may be surprised to find literally dozens of pages full of links demonstrating that nuclear energy is actually one of our safest sources of energy.
Most Seattleites don't realize that the Hanford superfund site is the result of military nuclear weapons production. It has nothing to do with modern commercial nuclear power stations. Nuclear power is also one of our cleanest sources of energy producing less CO2 on a life cycle basis than solar. The amount of waste generated is trivial. After 32 years of operation all of the waste generated by Washington's nuclear power station would fit in a typical 7-Eleven parking lot. And that small amount of waste may one day be consumed as nuclear fuel.
Given that nuclear power is in reality one of our safest and cleanest proven sources of low-carbon energy, the reasons stated for wanting to eliminate it are irrational. Maybe it's time for climate change to take precedence over old-school antinuclear tribalism.
If you drop into the Seattle Times comment field under the short piece that announced this resolution you'll find maybe 95% of the comments are pronuclear. This phenomenon has become the norm in almost any comment field under antinuclear articles. Could the old antinuclear meme finally be on its way out?

Next time you enter an Abercrombie & Fitch store, look up. Above the door, the black device that looks like a smoke detector is provided by SenSource, an Austintown company that was honored with a Growth Award by the Regional Chamber and the business school at Youngstown State University. The device is actually a people counter.
SenSource's sales surged from $2 million in 2006 to $4.8 million last year as it added Abercrombie & Fitch as a client. SenSource now provides people-counting systems for all of the 1,100 stores in the Abercrombie chain, including Hollister and other retail brands. SenSource's staff jumped from three to 10 with the new account. For more space, the company moved from Salt Springs Road in Youngstown to Oakwood Avenue in Youngstown. The local company also has people counters set up in other retail stores, such as American Greetings, and Six Flags amusement parks. It also is counting cars that pull up for valet parking at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.


The human mind, from childhood, gets programmed into believing that individual success is paramount compared to everything else, that consumption is king and it's okay to win at all costs.
Details on Life is Fundamentally Management!
The human mind, from childhood, gets programmed into believing that individual success is paramount compared to everything else, that consumption is king and it's okay to win at all costs. This book goes about exploring the very depths of our own mind, its default mode of working, how one may free oneself from the shackles of his own conditioning and so on. This will help one understand one's own mind as a system. Once a total understanding is gained on how the mind works, inner transformation and personal empowerment are a natural result. The book then takes the reader on an amazing journey of how the consciousness of the individual can be altered, by establishing a contra-distinction between individual thinking patterns and the ways in which nature operates. This alteration of individual consciousness provides a fascinating blueprint for sustainable living, too. If you believe that the root cause of challenges is the individual mind and if you sincerely want the pla.NET to be on a sustainable course at least till 3012 then this book is definitely for you. If you plunge into a pool, you cannot escape getting wet. This book is a transformation pool.

The Nikon D7000 is a digital SLR camera aimed at enthusiastic amateur and hobbyist photographers. It has some features that would otherwise only be found on professional-level cameras, and it delivers very impressive image quality.
Should I buy the Nikon D7000?
The Nikon D7000 combines good usability and handling with excellent image quality in addition to a versatile ISO range. If you're looking to buy a digital SLR but want a camera that's more versatile than the current crop of entry-level offerings, we think this is a great option — in our opinion the Nikon D7000 easily equals the Canon EOS 60D.
The Nikon D7000's automatic shooting modes mean first-time digital SLR users can get started immediately, but ideally you'll need to know a little about photography if you want to get the most out of it. We were very impressed by its overall performance, but there are a few niggles that held it back from being a perfect all-rounder.
The Nikon D7000, Nikon D90 digital SLR camera that preceded it, has a body designed around a magnesium alloy chassis. This gives it a more solid feel than the plastic and polycarbonate cameras we've tested, as well as better protecting the internal components from accidental drops and other damage.
Apart from this, it's similar to the Nikon D90 in size and handling — many of the buttons are laid out in a similar formation and the menu offers a near-identical experience. We really liked the way the Nikon D7000 felt when shooting. Most of the controls are easily accessible when holding the digital camera up close to your face, and the viewfinder is large and bright.
Our main concern with the digital camera was a handling point — namely the layout of the ISO button. If you're shooting the Nikon D7000 digital SLR camera with auto-ISO disabled, changing the ISO requires depressing the ISO button and clicking the rear control dial — but the button is third down in the row of four on the camera's left-hand rear side, which is a tricky position to reach with a thumb when holding the camera stable and shooting.
We were expecting the ISO button to be located on the top of the digital camera, near the shutter button, but instead you'll find a button for changing the digital camera's exposure metering mode. We think you'd be changing the ISO far more often than the exposure metering mode, so having these buttons swapped would be a more logical approach in our opinion.
The Nikon D7000 digital SLR's live view mode is a mixed bag. The live view mode uses the rear LCD screen and the image sensor to display a representation of what the camera is pointed at — so instead of using the viewfinder; you can compose a photo using the screen just like a point-and-shoot camera. The high-resolution screen provides an easy way to get your focus right and nail your shot everytime, even if you're using an older manual focus Nikon lens.
We were disappointed that there was no way to enable a live histogram or exposure indicator when using the live view mode. It's also not possible to dynamically change a lens's aperture during live view — if you want to see the effect of a different aperture setting on focus and exposure, you'll need to turn the live view off, change the aperture value and then re-enter live view. This dynamic aperture change feature is found on other digital SLR cameras such as the Canon EOS 60D, and it's disappointing that it's not available on the Nikon D7000 digital SLR camera.
Aside from the issues we've discussed in regard to Nikon's live view mode and the location of the ISO button, the Nikon D7000 digital SLR camera didn't present any further niggles in regard to the layout and design of its controls. If you haven't used a Nikon camera before, it'll take some time to get used to, but otherwise it's an easy to use digital SLR camera that's appropriate for both beginners and enthusiast users.
The Nikon D7000 digital SLR camera has a 16.2 megapixel APS-C size image sensor — that's the same size as other entry-level and semi-professional digital camera bodies found on the Sony Alpha A33, Sony NEX-5, Samsung NX100 and Canon EOS 60D — only professional SLR cameras like the Nikon D3x have larger imaging sensors. It's a brand new sensor and it is able to produce excellent quality images throughout the digital camera's ISO range of 100-6400. You can also enable an extended ISO setting which gives the Nikon D7000 the ability to shoot at up to ISO 25600.
At ISO 100, the images out of the Nikon D7000 are the cleanest and most detailed we've seen in our tests of any consumer-level digital SLR camera. The images get progressively grainier up to ISO 6400 but nonetheless excellent levels of detail are still retained. Most importantly, the Nikon D7000 does a good job of suppressing chrominance noise (uneven colour patches at high ISO levels) at every ISO setting. ISO 12800 and 25600 images are usable in a pinch, but you'll need to apply some post-processing to clean them up.
We found that while the Nikon D7000's JPEG mode produced impressive results, we could pull even more detail from the camera's raw NEF files with a converter such as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3. Given some time and effort we were able to produce some very clean, vibrant and sharp photos with a great deal of shadow and highlight details.
The low and high ISO capability of the Nikon D7000 is on par or better with every other non-professional digital SLR camera we have tested. Because of this, it makes an excellent point-and-shoot camera — even if the lighting conditions aren't perfect, you can often recover the photograph in post-processing and keep the shot.
One flaw that we encountered with the Nikon D7000 digital SLR was its propensity to slightly overexpose photos taken in bright conditions, such as on a sunny day in direct sunlight. If you're shooting in RAW format you can post-process most files to recover this overexposed information, but JPEG files don't have the same latitude.
You can also counter this by dialling the Nikon D7000's exposure compensation down by a stop, but we would prefer that the camera expose the shots correctly by default in these lighting conditions. Bright direct lighting was the only time we encountered this flaw — in even light, as well as overcast and darker conditions the Nikon D7000 does a good job of metering and calculating the correct exposure.

Even though fans witnessed the Endgame for a few of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Earth will continue to spin on for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. There is no better proof than the plethora of programming scheduled for Disney's upcoming streaming service Disney+, set for release on November 12.
Among the new series premiering over the next few years will be Loki, starring Tom Hiddleston. Since his debut in 2011's Thor, Hiddleston's portrayal of Loki has been a core reason for the MCU's success. While one can argue the God of Mischief takes center stage in any arena he enters, this new series will make it official. We've scoured anywhere and everywhere to find out everything we can about this new series. Here's what we know so far.

Loki will premiere in the spring of 2021 with six episodes. So far, Tom Hiddleston and Sophia Di Martino are the only announced cast members.
You will be able to access Loki on Disney+ via iOS devices, Apple TV, Android mobile, Android TV, Roku, PS4, and Xbox One.
Wait? Didn't Loki die? In Thor: The Dark World? No. He faked his death. Didn't he die in Avengers: Infinity War? Yes, that time he died. Then what's going on here? Well, if you walked out of Endgame crying your eyes out, as many of us did, then it was probably during your ride/walk home when you blurted out, "Wait! Didn't Loki take the Tesseract and disappear? What happened?" You will get your answers within this show.
During the Marvel panel at SDCC, Hiddleston made it clear that the Loki we're getting isn't the one who learned about redemption and loss. He is the Loki who just wanted to rule.
"You guys saw Avengers. So he's still that guy," Hiddleston said. "And just about the last thing that happened to him was [getting] Hulk-smashed. So there's a lot of psychological evolution that is still yet to happen. Kevin has generally shown me what his plans are. I can't tell you any of them, but it is one of the most exciting creative opportunities I think I've ever come across. [Loki the series] is new territory, a new world, new challenges, and I cannot wait to get started."
"The question I got asked more than any other question in Endgame was 'Where did Loki go, what happened to Loki?'" Feige added. "This series will answer where he went."
Fans first heard the news about Loki in August 2018, at the same time that Disney announced the streaming service's impending arrival. According to Hiddleston, he knew about the series much earlier that year. Unfortunately for him, it was right before the start of a Marvel press tour for Avengers: Infinity War. Hiddleston had to flat-out lie regarding Loki's fate.
"I knew about six weeks before the worldwide release of Avengers: Infinity War," he told MTV. "Which meant I had to go and do press for Avengers: Infinity War going, 'Yup, that's it, guys.'"
When you think of Loki, it's hard to imagine someone telling him what to do and have him listen. Unfortunately for him, he'll have no choice. Michael Waldron (Rick and Morty) will act as showrunner for the series and will be writing the first episode. Kate Herron (Netflix's Sex Education) will direct the entire series.
So far, Hiddleston, Waldron, and Herron are the only announced members of "Team Loki" (well, we mean Kevin Feige, too, but that's a bit of a given). As more cast and crew announcements release, we'll have them posted here.

When Disney first announced the series, fan theories came out of the woodwork. One of the most popular was Loki acting as a prequel series featuring a young version of the God of Mischief, with Hiddleston only doing a voiceover. Once Endgame revealed a version of Loki was alive, the door opened for anything. According to The Hollywood Reporter, "the show will follow Loki as the trickster and shape-shifter pop up throughout human history as an unlikely influence on historical events."
There's also a fan theory going around about how Loki influenced Thanos' plans for the Infinity Gauntlet. If they turn out to be accurate, how will this version of Loki play a role?
Now that we know which Loki we will see in the new series, the biggest question is how he will grow. Will he eventually learn the same lessons his "predecessor" did to become a hero? Or will the power of the Tesseract take him down a path even darker than he originally planned?
In a profile of Disney+ done by Bloomberg, Feige confirmed that Loki would tie into the Phase 4 movies, specifically Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. "I'm not sure we've acknowledged that before," he said. "But it does."
The release of Disney+ also brought a new mini-documentary chronicling the new Marvel series coming to the service. In talking about Loki, Producer Stephen Broussard said, "There's a huge time-travel component. There will be a man-on-the-run quality to it, and we get the chance to explore more human sides of Loki." Producer Kevin Wright added, "We're finally going to see him on his back foot. [It's Loki ] put in a position where he doesn't have all the answers and where he's been thrown a curveball by life." (via comicbookmovie.com)
Actress Sophia Di Martino (Yesterday) is the second cast member announced for the series. Right now, her specific role is currently unknown. (via Variety)
ComicBook.Com has learned Owen Wilson will be joining the series in an undisclosed role.
During this year's Super Bowl, Disney released a trailer for all of its Marvel Disney+ shows. Check out the first look at Loki.

Marvel Entertainment on YouTube
Variety has confirmed actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw (A Wrinkle in Time) has joined the cast in an undisclosed role.
The Illuminderdi is reporting Kang the Conquerer will make his MCU debut within the series. With time travel basically the main plot device of the show, there's probably no better time (other than Avengers: Endgame, which also dabbled with time travel just a little bit).
Just Jared posted the following on Twitter, showing the beginning of filming for the series. The picture shows Loki in business casual gear (or is it business professional? Ties always throw us off), and Owen Wilson, who was more prepared for the weather.
Do you have more questions? Rest assured, once we have the answers, so will you. Keep looking at this space for more updates on Loki.

A recent study by Dr. David Ricketts, of the Technology & Entrepreneurship Center at Harvard revealed that only 17% of small businesses have marketing dollars invested in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) in 2017. This means there will be little competition for small businesses that do make the investment in a SEO Campaign.
The exact tasks aren't as important as the finished result. The end goal is generally to increase sales and we get to that goal by improving the rankings of the website for pre-determined keyword phrases. Once higher rankings are achieved, for the right keyword phrases, traffic to the site will follow. Assuming the website has been built with conversion in mind, new leads will begin to pour in or direct sales for ecommerce sites.
"Having a website without Search Engine Optimization is like spending your entire advertising budget on a TV commercial without buying any air time to show it to the world."
The image below is a screen shot of a monthly report for one client showing their ranking results. You will note that the rankings change rapidly, sometimes up and sometimes down. As rankings increase for one keyword phrase, sometimes the results fall for others. This is not uncommon and you should expect variations like this, especially when a Google algorithm update is released.
As you can image, high rankings like these result in an abundance of traffic to the website and many opportunities for our client.
