Even after all of the other guests had left due to the rain one stayed behind. Kneeling in front of the freshly dug grave, a song escaped his lips as he began to cry.
At noon the stone courtyard at the Lennon Academy, which resided just outside of London, was filled with with it's uniformed students. But while all of the students were loud and being social, one dark haired boy sat off of the side and read.
"Hey, Jude!" A red-haired boy called as he made his way with a group of friends toward the boy who was reading.
"Hey, guys." Jude said without looking up from his novel. After a minute the group of students realized that Jude wasn't going to say anymore. The red-head who seemed to be the leader of the group snatched the book away from him.
"Will, give it back! It's not funny!" Jude said trying to get the book back from the taller boy.
"Yeah, well having your best friend read all time is a downer when you want to hang out with them." Will retorted. Jude sighed in defeat for he knew this game all too well.
"Fine. I'll stop reading but you have to let me have at least two hours worth of studying time tonight. Deal?"
William handed back the book and smiled.
"Deal."
The group of boys and girls that surrounded Will cheered as Jude put his book back into his faded brown leather messenger bag. The blonde girl who was hanging
off Will's shoulder straightened her blue plaid mini skirt and announced to the group, "Tonight I'm going to Vicious. Wanna come with?"
Will just looked at her as if she were crazy. "So your telling me that your going to London's most popular night club and that you want to know if I want to go?" Becky nodded her head. "Do you even know me? Of Course I want to go!"
Becky and her horde of friends jumped up and down and cheered so loud that the rest of the courtyard looked at them, their faces full of confusion.
The whole group then started chatting about how they were going to get there and what they were going to wear. No one even noticed Jude had gone back to his book.
A few moments later the bell rang throughout the courtyard
telling the students that the break was over and class would soon commence. Outside of the school walls one disappointed sigh could be heard from the students. Gathering their things they slowly shuffled to their classes in the old brick building.
Looking up from his textbook and notes, Jude stared out of his window in his dorm room and looked at the night sky. The moon shined brightly in the sky contrasting with the black abyss that surrounded it. Jude's mind was sucked back into reality when someone began to bang loudly on his bedroom door.
"Jude! Come on stop studying, you've been in there for three hours! It's a Friday, that's national relax day!" Will's voice yelled through the locked door.
"Will, I'm studying, you know that finals are in two weeks."
"Exactly! Two weeks from now. Plus Jude you've been studying for weeks. You deserve a break from all this work. So come with me to the club. Then I won't bother you all tomorrow. You have my word on that." Will waited outside of Jude's door for a good ten minutes before he received an answer for his offer.
"Will, I'll go but give me half an hour so I can finish this paper." Will slammed his head against the door.
"Jude, I'm sorry but now I must use force." Will thought. Jude had already returned writing his paper when a familiar tune reached his ears.
"Hey Jude, don't make it bad take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart them you can start to make it better." Will sang from behind the door. Jude had nothing against the song but it got really annoying when he heard i
t almost every single day of his seventeen-year-old life.
A minute later Jude's door unlocked and opened to show Jude in dark jeans and a dark blue shirt which brought out his eyes. Will who was wearing a similar outfit but with a black shirt hugged Jude and smirked.
"I knew it would get you out sooner or later." Will said draping his arm around Jude's shoulders.
"You're a bastard." Jude said monotonously.
"That may be true, but hey, it worked." Will chuckled.
"It only worked because I knew you wouldn't quit until I came out so I saved you some time and I saved my sanity." Will waved his hand nonchalantly,
"Yeah, yeah, excuses excuses."
"Let's just go."
After their forty-five minute drive from Lenon Academy they arrived at club Vicious in downtown London. At the door of the club they flashed their fake IDs to the bouncer who then promptly let them in. After about five seconds in the room of flashing lights and pounding dance music, Will had already found their friends and gotten them all drinks. Will then drank his drink in one gulp and dragged the nearest girl the the dance floor. When the song ended Will got another drink and another girl. Jude knew that money was no problem for Will because every time they were clubbing Will would get new £10 drink after every song
Jude danced a few songs but he preferred to just sit off to the side and people watch as he drank his drinks which were put on Will's tab.
Around 3am Will was thoroughly drunk with Jude not far behind him but Jude decided that they had been out late enough for tonight. They both stumbled to Will's car and Will got into the passenger seat with a little help from his best mate.
Jude started the car and pulled out of the club's parking lot.
Even with Jude's heavily impaired mind set driving was even more difficult because Will had taken to playing with the radio and it's settings. He soon got bored with this amusement and began to sing "Hey Jude" quite out of tune at the top of his lungs. Will hadn't gotten to the second verse before Jude told him to stop.
"But why Judy?" Will slurred.
"It's annoying." Jude replied.
"But it reminds me you, mate." This being one of the nicest things Will had ever said to Jude, he took his eyes off the road and looked into the eyes of his best friend.
"You really mean that, Will?"
" Of course I do."
The boys were then violently thrown the the right as a truck slammed into the left side of the car. Tires screeching filled Jude's ears as the world around him went black.
Jude opened his eyes only to close them due to the bright lights above him. An oxygen mask was then placed over his mouth and nose. A female voice filled his mind as his vision became cloudy.
"Just breathe Jude, everything will be alright. Just breathe." After that everything went black again.
He was awoken by the beeping of a heart monitor
close by. After his eyes adjusted to his surroundings he was greeted by the smiling face of his father.
Andrew Harrison then embraced his son and started crying.
"I thought I lost you like I did your mum."
"No Dad, I'm fine."
"I'm so glad to hear your voice."
The pair were then separated when a nurse came in to check up on Jude and change is bandages the wrapped around his torso and head. A nurse wrote on the clip board that hung off the foot of his bed and left to tell the doctor that Jude had awoken.
Andrew the returned into the room and sat on the chair by Jude's bedside. Jude propped himself up onto his pillows and looked at his father.
"Dad, what happened?"
"You and Will were in a car crash," he replied "The driver of the other car died. They won't tell me about Will because I'm not family."
Jude closed his eyes and a few short memories of the crash flashed before his eyes.
"I can't remember it very well." Jude said straining to remember everything.
"It's ok, memory loss is expected with this kind of trauma." Andrew said while rubbing Jude's back trying to comfort him. The two of them just sat in each others company while they waited for the doctor to come in.
The door of the hospital room opened and a midd
le aged man with graying hair walked in with a white doctors coat on. The man stopped at the foot of Jude's bed and read his medical chart.
"Hello Jude, I'm Dr. Starr and I've been the doctor assigned to you while you recover. That concussion on your head is most likely leaving you with some memory loss so I'm going to fill you in on the reason why your here. You see, you were in a car accident. We aren't sure who cause the wreck because both of the drivers were heavily intoxicated. You most likely hit your head on the window which most likely gave you that head injury. The seatbelt you were wearing saved your life but it cracked some of your ribs but thats no problem. You have some bruising but over all you had it pretty good."
"Excuse me sir, but what about Will? What happened to him? How is he?" Jude asked panic entering his voice.
"I'm not supposed to tell you because your not a direct family member but I think you need to know." He took a deep breathe before continuing, "Mr. Stevenson was
severely injured in the crash, he was sent immediately into surgery as were you…but he didn't survive the night. I'm so sorry for your loss." He reached for Jude but then called called away on an emergency in which his help was needed.
Andrew looked at his son's expressionless face.
"Jude?"
"Jude, speak to me."
"Come on Jude please say something."
"…It can't be true."
"I'm sorry to tell you but it-"
"NO! Your lying!," he screamed, tears running down his face an onto his blue hospital gown. "He's not dead! He's fine. Will is always fine! He's ok, I know he is."
Andrew sat on the edge of the bed and held him in his arms. The hospital bed lightly banged into the wall as Jude's both violently writhed with tears.
One thought occupied Jude's mind for the days before Will's funeral. He best friend was gone and was never coming back. He didn't sleep for his dreams will filled of all the memories that they had shared. From Jude's first day at Lennon to the dancing at the club, they all haunted him. His father wanted him at home and not at school so instead of school work distracting his mind from the pain, it was amplified by his thoughts. His depression soon numbed him to the world. Everything was pointless. Without out Will the world felt like a different place, a place where Jude didn't want to be.
Jude just sat at his desk and stared out the window without really looking at the world beyond it's glass panes. He was hurled back into the real world from his imagination when someone knocked on his bedroom door.
"Jude! I don't mean to bother you but the funeral starts in two hours. You need to start getting ready." Andrew called through the door, not unlike Will had the night of the accident.
"Alright dad, I'll meet you downstairs at 10:30."
He then got up from the simple wood chair and walked across his almost empty room save his desk and his bed towards the closet. He glanced over his shoulder and out the window to see that the sky was gray and cloudy. He turned away from the gloomy sight opened his closet and pulled out his slightly overgrown black tuxedo. The sleeves were a bit short as were the pant legs but it still looked nice.
When the Harrison's arrived at the cemetery the sky had turned into a darker shade of gray and the smell of dirt filled the air. Next to the dug grave were two columns of white portable chairs of about twenty chairs per column, five per row.
In the first row on the left were Mr. And Mrs. Stevenson. Mr. Stevenson looked like he had aged ten years and his hair seemed grayer than usual. His black tux was crisp and clean just like everything at the funeral and in the Stevenson household. Mrs. Stevenson was wearing a black sleeveless dress and a matching black hat with a black veil that came of the front of it. She was crying and dabbing a white handkerchief at her eyes so she would not ruin her make up. The rest of the chairs were filled up with family and Mr. Stevenson's business partners.
Jude and Andrew took their seats in the last row of the right column. At the front of the seats was Will's closed oak casket beside it was a fancy portrait of Will in which Jude knew Will was paid £100 to sit for. The preacher then walked up the aisle blessed Will parent's and began the funeral.
After Will had been buried and all of the other guests had left, the sky began to mourn. Jude's father waited by the car for Jude to pay Will his final respect. Jude walked up to the new white marble tombstone that now read:
William Paul Stevenson
He lived a good life but it was taken away from him too soon.
"Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns,
It calls me on and on across the universe"
Jude sat down in front of the grave and just sat there.
"Hey Will, If you were here you'd laugh so hard. Your mum looked just like the Queen and you dad looked like an emotionless arsehole, but then again when doesn't he? You would have been glad that none of your other friends were here, it was obviously planned by your mum so there was nothing there that symbolized you. The even put the the portrait that you hate. Thats why on Friday I am throwing a party in your honor. Hey Will?… I miss you like crazy. I have no idea how I'm going to go on but I will; for you." Jude placed one hand on the grave and got up. He began to walk away after about three meters but then turned around and keeled in front of Will's crave and started to cry. As he thought of his lost lost friend a song escaped his lips,
"Hey Jude, don't make it bad.
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
Hey Jude, don't be afraid.
You were made to go out and get her.
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
Na Na Na Na Na
Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.

Those who suffer from arthritis and joint pain should avoid nightshade vegetables.
Vegetables like tomato, capsicum, egg plant, and potato, belonging to the 'nightshade' category form a part of our daily diet. However, studies have revealed that most of the nightshades which come under the Solanaceae family are not fit for human consumption. These vegetables could cause severe health issues in people suffering from arthritis, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, stomach ailments, chest burns, asthma, and skin cancer. Besides, these vegetables contain small amount of nicotine as well.
In nighthsades, it has been proved that the amount of an alkaloid called solanine is dangerously high. It would severely affect the joints and movements of the muscles. Alkaloids which are natural pesticides can cause inflammation and stress in human beings. Solanine which jeopardizes the functioning of an enzyme in the nervous system, affects the joints causing severe pain.
The calcitriols in nightshades increases the rate of calcium absorption by the human body. The extra calcium gets deposited in the cells thereby decreasing the amount of calcium in the bones. Medical experts advice that those who suffer from arthritis and joint pain should avoid consuming vegetables which come under the nightshade category. You can see the difference by avoiding these for three months and then resume eating each type of vegetable a week.
Nightshades also have the reputation of being store houses of energy, which makes you relaxed. This is the reason why people get easily addicted to fast food like potato chips, pizza, tomato soup and ketchup. The amount of alkaloid present in these vegetables could be lowered by baking, boiling or steaming it. The rate of nicotine will be increased up to 3% when cooked potato is mashed. Similarly, raw tomato has high nicotine content which would lower as the fruit ripens.

Home Upcoming Albums Upcoming Album by Deuter
Upcoming Album by Deuter
Immortelle is the latest off ering from Deuter. Deuter's music has always been inspired by Nature, and this album is dedicated to healing: each track has been given the name of a medicinal plant that has helped humanity for millennia. Immortelle is to be released on July 29th, 2016.
Deuter is a master of receiving the sounds that no one can hear and translating them for us all to enjoy. Immortelle is another masterpiece that gives us the gift of silence through sound. His sublime compositions transcend aural boundaries, his elegant melodies fi ll the heart of anyone who listens. Deuter's innate awareness and rare musical talent create a harmonious balance of music and spirit.
"Immortelle is a word that few may know. It was unknown to me until I first came to Corsica where I became acquainted with this wonderful medicinal plant, the aroma of its oil and its strong invigorating effect. I enjoyed helping my friends distill an essential oil from it.
The fragrance brings memories of mountains, warm rocks and views of the sea in Corsica.
The title of the CD as well as the individual tracks have names of plants and flowers which have helped humanity with their healing powers for millennia. They even made life a little more pleasant with their aroma.
Nature has always been an inspiration for me, its influence can be heard on my CDs through birdsong, crickets, the sound of mountain streams and ocean waves. This album is therefore an expression of gratitude to the nature of our planet with the understanding that the smallest flower may have healing powers.
The cover image was painted by my friend Padma and shows the harmonious union of Yin and Yang, of male and female energy or, as in Indian mythology, Shiva and Shakti. It is a state of silence and restfulness in which healing becomes possible." – CG Deuter
About the medicinal plants
"Immortelle", the Everlasting. What a wonderful name! Helichrysum angustifolium, with its narrow, golden leaves, derives its botanical name from helios, the sun, and chrysos, or gold, combined with angustus, meaning slender or narrow, and folium, meaning leaf.
Commonly known as Immortelle, the name does not refer to "everlasting" as a symbolically interpretable relationship between plants and humans, but is rather an indication of it typical use—making traditional floral wreaths in winter. Helichrysum dries well, and its petals are quite colorfast and will keep for several months.
Immortelle likes to live on rocky hillsides where water can't form puddles, and it prefers a lot of wind, which dries off the morning dew. The plant is a perennial that grows to about 50 to 80 centimeters high, with dense tufts of silver-gray and golden flowers. Sun without shade is essential for its growth; in shade it will disappear forever. Ideally it lives among its own kind.
Immortelle is a queen of the medicinal plants, as its greatest gifts to us are its fragrance and its essential oil, which provide protection, healing, and renewal of the skin.
In my understanding music is a horizontal journey, it needs time to unfold and it is also limited by time. But good music also creates a vertical journey, where it transcends time and keeps on going indefinitely into higher octaves.

Hard Work Is Its Own Reward
I was listening to a writer talk about his work on a podcast last week.
This writer — who I won't mention, since he's particularly hated in certain parts of the internet — was discussing how he thinks about writing novels vs. writing screenplays, both of which he's done to some acclaim.
He said the screenplays (and television writing, for that matter) are what ultimately keep the lights on in his Beverly Hills home. But it's the novels — celebrated by powerful insiders, despite not earning him much cash — where he feels most at peace with himself.
Asked why he continued to write novels, when it seemed like he could easily continue raking in the big money for film/TV writing, he had a great answer.
"The work is its own reward," he said.
I've been thinking about this quote ever since.
In this life, sometimes you come to a crossroads and must ask yourself whether it's worth continuing down a certain path, even though the light at the end of the tunnel doesn't seem so visible.
But you must also ask yourself whether the light is really what you're running towards anyway. Is the light the thing at the end of the tunnel, or is the light the actual tunnel itself?
I think it's more the former than the latter, and that when you think there's some imaginary finish line to cross, some light that you will hit that ultimately answers all your prayers, that's when you begin running into problems.
Of course, goals are worth setting. It's good to have goals. But true joy should be found in the work itself, and the goals should be met merely by the act of doing that work.
When it's the other way around, no matter how hard you try, the lights at the end of the tunnel somehow keep moving further and further away.
You don't need to find the light. You're already in it

Oil a factor as trade deficit increases more than forecast
by Joe Richter, Bloomberg News, Posted: May 11, 2007
The U.S. trade deficit widened more than forecast in March as higher volume of foreign oil drove the biggest increase in imports in more than four years.
The deficit rose 10.4 percent to $63.9 billion, the Commerce Department said yesterday. Imports and exports were both the second-highest on record.
The U.S. imports two-thirds of its oil, and the biggest rise in crude prices since June is offsetting the benefit to U.S. exports from a weaker dollar.
"We were paying sharply more in March for imported oil, and, frankly, that's only going to contribute to a lot more red ink in April," said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group, of Pittsburgh.
The trade shortfall with China narrowed to $17.2 billion in March from $18.4 billion a month earlier. Imports from China were the lowest since May 2006, while exports to China were a record.
The trade picture with the Asian nation "is still a big mess," said Peter Morici, an economics professor at the University of Maryland. "There's not going to be much improvement."
Through the first three months of the year, the deficit with China climbed to $57 billion from $47.3 billion in the same period a year earlier, and it accounted for almost a third of the overall gap in March.
The wider trade gap in March probably will lead the government to revise down its estimate of first-quarter economic growth. Economists at Morgan Stanley forecast that revised figures will show the economy grew 0.9 percent in the first three months of the year, compared with the government's advance estimate of 1.3 percent issued last month.
"We saw a big increase in oil imports, but, in general, growth in the U.S. is slowing and we should see import growth moderating," said Jay Bryson, global economist at Wachovia Corp. in Charlotte, N.C. "As we look forward, trade should be less of a drag because of global demand for U.S. exports."
Imports of goods and services rose 4.5 percent in March, the biggest increase since November 2002, to $190.1 billion. Imports of industrial supplies, which include petroleum, rose to $49.1 billion from $44.1 billion.
Imports of petroleum products rose to a seasonally adjusted $24.6 billion from $20.9 billion a month earlier.
Exports rose 1.8 percent to $126.2 billion in March from $124 billion a month earlier, led by record sales of industrial supplies and autos.

NETFLIX Review: 'The White Tiger' a rags-to-riches story with unexpected bite
We have all seen the film where a man, starting with nothing, fights and claws his way to the top using nothing but his wits, guts and sheer determination. "The White Tiger" takes this recognizable story and turns it on his head, creating a film that subverts audience expectation and creates an unforgettable movie-going experience.
If you are not familiar with Indian culture, "The White Tiger" gives you a crash course. Boiled down, there is no such thing as "upward mobility" in society, as you are simply born into the class that you born into. This movie takes place in modern times, so American audiences might be shocked to find a country where arranged marriages are still commonplace, with a two-caste system of "masters and slaves" embedded into not only the structure, but into the minds of its people.
Balram (the magnificent Adarsh Gourav) is a poor young boy with ambition and smarts not common of his caste. He is determined to climb the social ladder and provide for his family, and for himself. "America is so yesterday" he says at one point, understanding that the future consists of "brown and black people." He will stop at nothing to get where he wants to go.
Using his instincts and will, he manages to befriend the son of the man in power over his small village. This son, Ashok (Rajkummar Rao), is in need of a driver, so Balram learns this skill and offers his services. Reluctant at first, Balram worms his way into the family and becomes close with Ashok and Ashok's progressive wife, Pinky (Priyanka Chopra), even though he is constantly reminded that he is, in fact, NOT a part of the wealthy family.
"The White Tiger" is the sort of film where you can't quite critique it properly without risking giving away key plot developments that may ruin the fun of watching it unfold. Let's just say that we root for the underdog Balram because we are more or less programmed to do so...but things go in unexpected directions, in a film that exposes human nature in unsettling ways.
Adarsh Gourav is a revelation, and his performance carries the film, even with the help of a remarkable ensemble. The narrative itself gets a little long in the tooth, and drifts more than it should...a tighter, more focused version of events would have made a better overall film. Also, I wasn't a huge fan of the narration and structure of the movie being told in flashback for its vast majority.
Even with its flaws, "The White Tiger" sinks its teeth into you, and sticks with you long after the final credits roll.
Genre: Crime, Drama.
Run Time: 2 hours 5 minutes.
Starring: Adarsh Gourav, Priyanka Chopra, Rajkummar Rao, Vijay Maurya, Kamlesh Gill.
Based on the book by Aravind Adiga.
Written and Directed by Ramin Bahrani ("Fahrenheit 451," "99 Homes," "At Any Price").
"The White Tiger" premieres theatrically on Friday, January 15th, 2021 followed by exclusive Netflix release on Friday, January 22nd, 2021.


If you have been conscious and on social media for the last few years, you have probably heard of Iron Sky. This Finnish sci-fi comedy began production back in 2006.
A co-production between France and cult movie distributor Severin Films in the US, The Theatre Bizarre is a blood-splattered horror anthology film that splices together six gory stories.

"We live in a generation of not being in love and not being together."
1. You have a history of being heartbroken.
3. So it's easy to feel jaded and emotionally guarded.
4. You don't put effort into communicating with others.
5. You keep a tight circle.
6. And don't have high expectations.
7. You never let anyone see your true feelings.
8. You say things aren't a big deal when they really are.
9. And don't like opening up to people.
10. You keep your walls up.
12. Logic and reason over everything.
Who really follows their heart, anyway?
13. You value your personal space.
14. It takes a while for you to believe people.
15. You think leaps of faith are overrated.
16. This is how you react when someone says "I love you" before you're ready to hear it.
17. And this is how you react when people tell you to be more sensitive.
18. You appreciate other emotionally guarded people.
Because they just get you.
19. You're not a fan of PDA.
20. You don't feel the need to talk about your problems.
21. Because admitting your real emotions is scary.
22. You get annoyed when someone wants to talk on the phone until they fall asleep.
23. And they start to tell you all about their day.
24. It doesn't take much for you to cut people out of your life.
25. Occasionally, you'll feel ALL the feelings since you suppressed them for so long.
26. But then you're reminded why you stay guarded in the first place.
27. So you go back to your old, defensive ways.

The Real Sector Policy Commission (RSPC) comprises of both public and private sector members bestowed with the core duty to analyze and determine priorities of real sector recommendations at NES and other policy dialogues.
The aim is to forestall future crises by improving market transparency, improving corporate governance across all sub-sectors of the real sector as well as better protecting consumers/citizens at large.
This thematic group as the name implies consists of industry experts that are directly or indirectly involved in the manufacturing and processing of items as well as indulge in either creation of new commodities or in value addition. The manufacturing industry accounts for a significant share of the industrial sector in Nigeria.
This thematic groups consists of group of individuals that are active players in industries which have their origin in individual creativity, skill and talent and which have a potential for wealth and job creation through the generation and exploitation of intellectual property.
This is a small group of Supply Chain Management Professionals, that are involved in the day to day business of logistics process of planning, implementing and controlling procedures for the efficient and effective transportation and storage of goods including services and related information.
Draft framework for government to provide incentives (tax rebates) to Nigerian Manufacturers to make backward integration a viable for SME's and ensure growth of local inputs.
Clarify policies on foreign exchange access and open alternative windows for other players – multinational imports, local exports.
Define Regulatory framework to facilitate exports (tax incentives etc.)– credits that are not usable, efficiency of the ports needs to be aggressively addressed to reduce impact on cost of doing business.


Peter Kinley was born in Vienna in 1926. He arrived as a refugee in Britain in 1938 and served in the British army between 1944-48. He studied at Staatliche Kunstakademie, Düsseldorf, and at St Martin's School of Art, London. Kinley's first solo exhibition was held in London in 1954, following which he showed with regularity at galleries in both America Europe, India and Australia. In 1982 a retrospective was held at the Museum of Modern Art, Oxford. He taught as Senior Lecturer at Bath Academy of Art from 1971-1975, and then as Principal Lecturer 1975-1988. Kinley died shortly after retiring from his Corsham post in 1988.

Q: Skinning Animation - Weights Destroy Mesh I am in the process of writing an animation system with my own Collada parser and am running into an issue that I can't wrap my head around.
I have collected my mesh/skin information (vertices, normals, jointIds, weights, etc), my skeleton information (joints, their local transforms, inverse bind position, hierarchy structure), and my animation (keyframe transform position for each joint, timestamp).
My issue is that with everything calculated and then implemented in the shader (the summation of weights multiplied by the joint transform and vertex position) - I get the following:

When I remove the weight multiplication, the mesh remains fully intact - however the skin doesn't actually follow the animation. I am at a lost as I feel as though the math is correct, but very obviously I am going wrong somewhere. Would someone be able to shine light on the aspect I have misinterpreted?
Here is my current understanding and implementation:

*

*After collecting all of the joint's localTransforms and hierarchy, I calculate their inverse bind transfromation matrix. To do this I multiple each joints localTransform with their parentLocalTransform to get a bindTransform. Inverting that bindTransform results in their inverseBindTransform. Below is my code for that:

    // Recursively collect each Joints InverseBindTransform -
    // root joint's local position is an identity matrix.
    // Function is only called once after data collection.
    void Joint::CalcInverseBindTransform(glm::mat4 parentLocalPosition)
    {
        glm::mat4 bindTransform = parentLocalPosition * m_LocalTransform;
        m_InverseBindPoseMatrix = glm::inverse(bindTransform);

        for (Joint child : Children) {
            child.CalcInverseBindTransform(bindTransform);
        }
    }

*Within my animator during an animation, for each joint I take the two JointTransforms for the two frame's my currentTime is in between and I calculate the interpolated JointTransform. (JointTransform simply has a vec3 for position and quaternion for rotation). I do this for every joint and then apply those interpolated values to each Joint by again recursively muliplying the new frameLocalTransform by their parentLocalTransform. I take that bindTransform and multiply it by the invBindTransform and then transpose the matrix. Below is the code for that:

    std::unordered_map<int, glm::mat4> Animator::InterpolatePoses(float time) {

        std::unordered_map<int, glm::mat4> poses;
        if (IsPlaying()) {

            for (std::pair<int, JointTransform> keyframe : m_PreviousFrame.GetJointKeyFrames()) {

                JointTransform previousFrame = m_PreviousFrame.GetJointKeyFrames()[keyframe.first];
                JointTransform nextFrame = m_NextFrame.GetJointKeyFrames()[keyframe.first];
                JointTransform interpolated = JointTransform::Interpolate(previousFrame, nextFrame, time);
                poses[keyframe.first] = interpolated.getLocalTransform();
            }
        }
        return poses;
    }

    void Animator::ApplyPosesToJoints(std::unordered_map<int, glm::mat4> newPose, Joint* j, glm::mat4 parentTransform)
    {
        if (IsPlaying()) {

            glm::mat4 currentPose = newPose[j->GetJointId()];
            glm::mat4 modelSpaceJoint = parentTransform * currentPose;

            for (Joint child : j->GetChildren()) {
                ApplyPosesToJoints(newPose, &child, modelSpaceJoint);
            }

            modelSpaceJoint = glm::transpose(j->GetInvBindPosition() * modelSpaceJoint);
            j->SetAnimationTransform(modelSpaceJoint);
        }
    }

*I then collect all the newly AnimatedTransforms for each joint and send them to the shader:

    void AnimationModel::Render(bool& pass)
    {
                    [...]
        std::vector<glm::mat4> transforms = GetJointTransforms();
        for (int i = 0; i < transforms.size(); ++i) {
            m_Shader->SetMat4f(transforms[i], ("JointTransforms[" + std::to_string(i) + "]").c_str());
        }
                    [...]
    }

    void AnimationModel::AddJointsToArray(Joint current, std::vector<glm::mat4>& matrix)
    {
        glm::mat4 finalMatrix = current.GetAnimatedTransform();
        matrix.push_back(finalMatrix);
        for (Joint child : current.GetChildren()) {
            AddJointsToArray(child, matrix);
        }
    }

*In the shader, I simply follow the summation formula that can be found all over the web when researchiing this topic:

        for (int i = 0; i < total_weight_amnt; ++i) {
            mat4 jointTransform = JointTransforms[jointIds[i]];

            vec4 newVertexPos = jointTransform * vec4(pos, 1.0);
            total_pos += newVertexPos * weights[i];
                        [...]

---------- Reply to Normalizing Weights ------------
There were a few weights summing above 1, but after solving the error in my code the model looked like this:

For calculating the weights - I loop through all preadded weights in the vector, and if I find a weight that is less than the weight I'm looking to add - I replace that weight in that position. Otherwise, I append the weight onto the end of the vector. If there are less weights in my vector than my specified max_weights (which is 4) - I fill in the remaining weights/jointIds with 0.

A: I understand when something is going wrong in skinning animations, there can be alot of different areas the problem is occuring. As such, for future googlers experiencing the same issue I am - take this as more of a list of suggestions of what you could be doing wrong rather than absolutely doing wrong.
For my problem - I had the right idea but wrong approach in a lot of minor areas. Which brought me fairly close but, as they say, no cigar.

*

*I had no need to calculate the Inverse Bind Pose myself, Collada's Inverse Bind Pose (sometimes/often declared as an "offsetMatrix") is more than perfect. This wasn't a problem more as I was just doing unnecessary calculations.

*In a Collada file, they often provide you more "joints" or "nodes" in the hierarchy than what is needed for the animation. Prior to the start of your actual animated "joints", there is the scene and an initial armature "node" type. The scene is typically an identity matrix that was manipulated based on your "up axis" upon reading in the Collada file. The Node type will determine the overall size of each joint in the skeleton - so if it wasn't resized, its probably the identity matrix. Make sure your hierarchy still contains ALL nodes/joints listed in the hierarchy. I very much was not doing so - which greatly distorted my globalPosition (BindPose).

*If you are representing your Joint's transforms rotation through quaternions (which is highly recommended), make sure the resulted quaternion is normalized after interpolating between two rotated positions.
On the same note - when combining the Rotation and Transform into your final matrix - make sure your order of multiplication and the final output is correct.

*Finally - your last skinning matrix is comprised of your joints InvBindMatrix * GlobalPosition * GlobalInverseRootTransform (<- this is the inverse of the local transfrom from your "scene" node mentioned in (1), remember?).
Based on your prior matrix multiplications up to this point, you may or may not need to transpose this final matrix.
And with that - I was able to successfully animate my model!
One final note - my mesh and animation files are added in separately. If your animations are in separate files from your mesh, make sure you collect the skinning/joint information from the files with an animation rather than the file with the mesh. I list my steps for loading in a model and then giving it multiple animations through different files:

*

*Load in the Mesh (This contains Vertices,Normals,TexCoords,JointIds,Weights)

*Load in the animation file (This gives Skeleton, InverseBindPositions, and other needed info to bind skeleton to mesh) - Once skeleton and binding info is collected, gather first animation info from that file as well.

*For another animation, the above Skeleton should work fine for any other animation on the same mesh/model - just read in the animation information and store in your chosen data structure. Repeat step 3 til happy.

Norfolk Sailor successfully completes tour with the "Bluetails"
Airborne Command & Control Squadron (VAW-121) the "Bluetails", based at Naval Station Norfolk held a change of command, Sept. 3, to mark the time-honored tradition of changing commanders.
Cmdr. Neil Fletcher of Chatham, New Jersey, having served as squadron executive officer, relieved Cmdr. Martin Fentress of Norfolk with both of their immediate families present. During Fentress' tour at VAW-121, the squadron deployed aboard USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) for an around-the-world-deployment. Additionally, while serving at the helm, Fentress led his squadron in receiving the coveted "Battle E" in 2019.

Martin Fentress Jr., commanding officer, Airborne Command and Control Squadron (VAW) 121, addresses the squadron and guests during a change of command ceremony onboard Naval Station Norfolk. Fentress served as VAW-121's commanding officer sense 2018. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Sam Jenkins)
"Taking command of VAW-121 is a career highpoint," said Fentress, who added that during the deployment on board USS Abraham Lincoln the crew overcame many challenges but never gave up. "My greatest achievement is leading my Sailors and officers."
Fentress departs VAW-121 with a keen awareness that his naval leadership experiences have been the "most satisfying" of all his accomplishments. His next assignment is at Navy Personnel Command in Millington, Tennessee where he will serve as a detailer for tactical air (TACAIR).
Shortly before relieving his predecessor, Fletcher discussed assuming command of VAW-121 and a career spent bringing him to this point in his life, while learning from the mentors who led him, like Fentress.
Fletcher shared a leadership quote, that "Leadership is a gift given to you by those you lead," which speaks to the trust and confidence needed up and down the chain of command to effectively lead an organization like VAW-121. He felt Fentress had that gift by both inspiring and connecting with those he led.
For Fletcher he will apply that leadership advice as he assumes the duties and responsibilities of commanding officer of VAW-121.
Fletcher's interest in the Navy stems from his years serving with the Boy Scouts of Troop 28 in Chatham.
"A senior leader in the troop originally influenced my interest in earning an appointment to the United States Naval Academy," added Fletcher, who said his squadron's focus going forward, would be on training and preparation for future deployment.
According to Fletcher, his parents, who were able to view their son's rite of passage virtually, are the greatest influence in his life.
"My parents gave me never ending encouragement and support and, at times, some tough love and guidance that helped me chart the course I did," said Fletcher. With the change of command concluded, the Bluetails and their new commanding officer have their sights set on the future as they prepare to receive the latest, most capable E-2D Advanced Hawkeye with the new aerial refueling capability ahead of their future deployment.

CHRISTOPHER DAYETT
Singer | Composer | Director | Actor | Playwright | Musician | Educator
TheTheatreGeek BLOG
Born in Wilmington, DE, and raised in Hockessin, Chris discovered a love of music and theatre at a very young age - from sitting on the kneeler and playing the pew like an organ at church to create and performing skits with this sister. He appeared in two middle school productions - Rosemary for Remembrance and The Wizard of Oz - that's where it all began!
Chris moved to Wilmington, NC, in 2000 to pursue a degree in Marine Biology from UNC-Wilmington, but he just couldn't let go of the music and theatre worlds. He is a cum laude graduate of UNC-Wilmington with a B.S. in Marine Biolgy, and a B.A. in Theatre (with a minor in Music - Vocal Performance).
While living in Wilmington, NC for 15 years, Chris performed in over a dozen local community theatre shows. His favorites include "Mr. Smee" in PETER PAN, "Too Darn Hot Chris" in KISS, ME KATE, "Handsome Alan" in BABES IN TOYLAND, "Ryan" in Disney's HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, and "Adam" in the world premiere reading of his musical, FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS (co-written with Barbara Gallagher). In November 2005, Chris originated the role of "Julius" in the world premeire of POMPEII: A NEW MUSICAL, opposite Richard White. The Dorothy Papadakos musical premiered at Thalian Hall in Wilmington, NC to rave reviews! Catherine Bayley, Star-News Correspondent, writes: "And local Mr. Dayett brings down the house with his rendition of A Senator in Rome featuring a line of can-can boys."
Chris was active in church music ministry for over 15 years, serving as Cantor, Praise Band Director, and Music Director at various churches in the Wilmington, NC and DE areas. As a sacred music composer, he has written dozens of songs, over a hundred psalms, and several Mass settings. Several of his songs have been translated into Spanish.
Missing the theatrical side of his career, Chris earned his M.A. in Theatre from Villanova University in 2016. His graduate thesis was in playwriting. He was honored with distinction for writing the book, music, and lyrics for DORIAN GRAY as his thesis. The show, with new music co-written by Kevin Mucchetti, premiered Off-Broadway at the New York Musical Festival in 2017. DORIAN GRAY was honored with the Show-Score Best of Fest Audience Award.
Chris currently resides in Naples, FL, and teaches Theatre, Musical Theatre, Theatre Production Design & Marketing, and Film at Marco Island Academy, a public charter school on Marco Island. He continues to write in his spare time, and is currently working on musical version of a play he wrote at Villanova. Stay tuned!

Though we've had a wet summer, and the landscape is still overwhelmingly green, the greens are changing as the season progresses. I have two different yellows that I keep on my palette: a lemony sort of yellow, and a cadmium yellow. In the spring the former gets the most use when mixing my greens, but as we move towards autumn, the cadmium becomes the most squeezed tube.
I set up yesterday in the slight shadow of a scrubby little box-elder. The dogs were with me, dashing off after every strange sound or smell, and then returning to pant happily in the shade. Fields and pastures are filled with blossoming Queen Anne's Lace, yarrow, asters, clover, and many grasses going to seed.
I started out the week exhausted, and I'm afraid I stumbled rather sleepily and late into the welcome breakfast that kicked off the event. :P It was good to see some familiar faces, as well as many new ones this year. This year's judge gave a demo following the breakfast, which was very fun to watch. I didn't stay to the end, though - I wanted to get out and paint!
I found this beautiful old farm, and my eye was immediately drawn to the way the light, breaking through the clouds, hit the roof of the barn, and the surrounding long uncut grasses.
My kind of sloppy initial sketch.
I can be a bit haphazard with my progression on a painting! I wanted to get that roof in before the light changed too much.
I took a scenic drive home that day, driving part of the way on the Wisconsin side of the river. I stopped for awhile at a lookout and painted the quickly changing clouds over the water. I admired the many colors in the river, as the dark clouds and patches of sunlight shifted with the changing weather. I finished as the thunder started and before it started to pour.
Tuesday was "Paint the Town" day, and I wanted to paint this beautiful old church building (now a house) and gardens. I really picked a bad time of day, though. The light changed so quickly! And even though there was blue sky showing between the clouds, I got rained on twice.
Wednesday morning was rainy and gray. Late morning, when it was only cloudy, I hiked up on Barn Bluff and took the prairie trail. It was beautiful. I ate lunch at the end of the trail, overlooking the river and bluffs, and then found a spot along the trail to set up my easel.
In the evening, as the sky cleared, I painted this tree on a farm off County road 1. The same tree and hill, though it looks different and is from a different angle, that I painted the first year I did the festival.
The next day was the day to paint the river valley. I had great ambitions, but had forgotten to have more of my panels stamped. :-p I did this one in Winona, standing on a dock in the shade. There was a cool breeze blowing in off the water, and few little families came and fished for bluegills and bass.
In the evening I attempted a sunset paint. The sunset was very subdued, there were still a lot of clouds, and the mosquitoes were very, very, very hungry. This is a view from Memorial Park overlooking the top of Barn Bluff.
Friday was the day to frame and turn in three paintings to be hung and judged for the show. It rained off and on in the afternoon, but it was a lovely evening for the gala reception, with music from My Sweet Patootie. It's always fun to get the first glimpse of the show with everyone's paintings from the week. The show changes from Friday night to Saturday, with some paintings selling and new ones being hung. And it's nice to get a chance to talk with many of the artists who've been scattered about painting all week. Awards were given, and I was very surprised and happy to receive an honorable mention for my painting "Rabbit Crossing"!
Saturday morning was the quick-paint. We could paint from 9 to 11:00 sharp, and then had to frame and turn in the work by 11:30. The morning was mostly cloudy and windy. Rain was in the forecast, but thankfully didn't fall. With the river having overflowed its banks, some of the usual area was off limits! I picked this oft-painted scene of the train tracks and the bridge. I liked the soft, hazy view visible past the bridge, and the lines and colors between the tracks.
So I had a pretty nice week in Red Wing. Sometimes the sun shone bright, and sometimes it was gray and rainy (like the morning I'd planned to paint the sunrise and the evening I tried to paint the sunset!) I found some new places to eat, and wasn't quite eaten alive by the gnats, ants and mosquitoes, and met and re-met some lovely people.
I'm deeply grateful for everyone who made it possible for me to get away for the week and paint, and who bought paintings so I can keep doing what I love. May God bless you all.
