Smoke, Screens & Mirrors
Words: Oliver Georgiou Images: Krozm
Krozm is a Melbourne based, three-part directing collective made up of Chris Hill, Lachlan Dickie and Ewan Macleod. After only three short years together they have managed to compile an impressive reel of music videos for local acts including Midnight Juggernauts, Cut Copy, Van She and Jet. Drawing from a seemingly never ending skill set, Krozm utilise pretty much every film making technique, from hand drawn animation to CG, rotoscoping to live action, stop motion to digital effects and all the way back again. After gaining US representation with Mighty 8 earlier this year and recently directing Jet's latest film clip in LA it would seem that Krozm are set to make Australia proud…
Oliver Georgiou: Krozm seems to have pretty much popped up out of nowhere and blown a lot of people away. How did you get together and what were you doing before?
Chris Hill: In a nutshell we all went to university together and come from backgrounds in art and music. More specifically just before Krozm I worked as a part-time director and editor for a design studio called Alter. This is where I had my first real introduction to commercial directing. Around the same time Lachlan, Ewan and I were working together on various animations, video art and short film projects. Most of our friends are musicians so after they saw our work we were asked to start creating stuff for them. This was before we were even aware that we were a directing collective. We were just having fun creating stuff together for our friends. After a few successful music videos we came to the conclusion that we were indeed a directing collective and that we could continue making music videos for a while. Although it has been a steep learning curve it was a fairly natural progression for us all.
OG: Your clips are all rich with obscure characters, from rocks with eyes to convertible driving drag queens. Where do they come from?
CH: Basically if you open your eyes the world is full of strange and wonderful characters and at the same time literature, film and art is abundant with equally bizarre characters. When the three of us get together it's easy for us to get lost in our own little invented world of Krozm which consists of an amalgamation of reality based influences and fantasy/dream based influences. In coming up with ideas we often create a whole back story for our characters which determines the rules of any particular video. I sometimes think that the combined world of 'Krozm' has its own extensive mythology in which all of these characters have precise functions and meaning.
OG: The Midnight Juggernauts clip 'Tombstone' is definitely my favourite. A form of vented controlled animation and effects mayhem held together by the live set footage underlay. Was this a fun clip to make?
CH: For 'Tombstone' the Juggernauts wanted to make a low budget video which somehow used the live footage they had already shot. Our idea was that we would each take it in turns to mess with the footage via animation or lo-fi effects without necessarily taking into consideration what the other person was doing. It was definitely fun but that sort of frame by frame animation takes a long time to do. There were a few cases of RSI during the making of that video and I don't think we've pitched an animated video since then.
OG: Earlier you were in LA to shoot the Jet clip 'She's a Genius', also you are now being represented by Mighty 8 in the States. Is expanding your horizons outside of Australia something that you've proactively been in pursuit of?
CH: Although we've always considered our work outside the realm of Australia, I think our physical isolation from the rest of the world has to some degree helped us develop a distinct ideology and aesthetic, and I guess at the same time that's partly why we have gained a bit of attention overseas. Strangely enough we actually seem to get far more attention from film and creative industries in Europe and America than we do within Australia. This is at times slightly disheartening but understandable considering the Australian film industry is so small, especially within the music video medium. This interest has spurred a little proactive pursuit on our part and in light of that we recently visited London and Paris to meet some production companies that we have made friends with over there. There are definitely possibilities for us expanding our horizons beyond Australia but we first have to work our way around the distance and jet lag.
OG: From clip to clip your mediums vary, as do the cameras that you use. Do you have a preference for shooting digital or film?
CH: We definitely endeavour to create something different with every video and as far as format goes it really just depends on the concept and the aesthetic we are going for. Sometimes a crunchy VHS video format shot handycam style can look just as beautiful as 35mm film shot by your favourite cinematographer. Of course we would be lying if we said that we didn't prefer 35mm film over practically any digital format but the reality is most of the time music video budgets don't allow for the luxuries of film. In saying that though I must admit that one of our favourite formats over the last 18 months has been the RED camera which is a digital format that can shoot at the same resolution as 35mm film and works on the same principle and file format as a digital SLR. Coupled with our favourite 35mm lenses this format can look amazing.
OG: I found myself totally mesmerised by your clip for Cut Copy's track 'In Ghost Colours'. The fact that it's pretty much one slow motion shot that loops over, first backwards mirrored then forwards back to the beginning was a pretty bold move. Was it a pre-conceptualised idea or did it come together in the edit?
CH: It was definitely pre-conceptualised although we hadn't chosen what song it was going to be for and thus it was always going to rely on the timing of the edit to make it work. The clip is actually part of some stage projections we were commissioned to make for Cut Copy's last tour for their album 'In Ghost Colours'. We chose five songs and our idea was to create a piece for each track that was more like a moving still image that would slowly change over time. For that particular piece we were interested in using the mirror effect that was used on a t-shirt that Dan from Cut Copy had designed for the band although as our image was moving we wanted it to somehow split and merge into different variations of the same image so that it had an almost climactic and narrative arc. To do this we basically planned out a figure eight like track for Lachlan (who stars in this video) to run along so that theoretically in the edit he would appear out of the landscape, split in half and then form back into one as he ran past the camera. We are quite fond of this piece ourselves and feel it could actually stand alone as a music video.
OG: I've noticed quite a few signatures and running themes throughout your work, including a lot of smoke, screens and mirrors. These are also tools of the trade for magicians. Is the trick of the eye an important part of film making for you?
CH: Film making is all about tricking an audience into believing the reality of what is happening on screen. The whole principle of film making is based on this manipulation of a created reality but specifically in regards to our work we are always looking for ways to create effects and transitions in camera rather than relying on the computer or the edit and in this way our work could be compared to a live stage magicians show. We often consider that directors have to become masters of the 'slight of hand', as in the ability to coerce an audience into concentrating on one element of a scene whilst you change another element. This is one of the basic principles of editing. It's the same as a magician who uses smoke and mirrors to disguise the mechanics of his trickery. I would also say that the whole smoke and mirrors thing is probably a reference to our fondness for the mysterious and surreal and is probably directly influenced by some of our favorite sci-fi, fantasy and horror films.
OG: The film making process can be a logistical nightmare and things can go horribly wrong at any stage, have you ever had an actor, producer or hard drive explode?
CH: Yes, all of the above. Film making is like going into battle and you have to be prepared as much as you can to avoid or tackle any problem that may arise. So for the possible interest of other film makers I'm going to be completely honest in this answer. We've had various nightmarish incidents on our shoots – everything from a lead singer with chicken pox to one who couldn't stand still and chewed gum all day, from drummers forgetting drumsticks to production assistants almost killing half our crew by falling asleep at the wheel after a particularly grueling all night shoot. As far as technical problems go – everything from camera's overheating to lights exploding through to our personal favourite, a motion control technician who took five hours to program a simple motorised camera movement because he was too stoned to differentiate left from right.
Luckily for us, most of the bands we have dealt with have been great to work with but on the flip side dealing with some band managers and record labels can be it's own logistical nightmare. Sometimes squeezing the budget out of a record label to pay for production is like trying to squeeze blood from stone and some band managers seem to think that they actually know more about film making and our own concepts than we do which is what happened with our recent Jet video. Some 'managing genius' who I won't name decided it would be a great idea to re-edit the low-res internet version that we sent them by splicing in random live footage and then also add a scene they invented where the Wookie masked character barges its way past a bouncer to see a live Jet show. They then sent this re-edited, out-of-sync, low-res internet version to television stations for both standard and HD broadcast. Subsequently we all cringe whenever this video is played on TV. This was probably one of the biggest lessons we have learnt yet. Specifically not to depend on the creative integrity and general intelligence of the people who have the money. Anyway the original version of the video can be viewed on our website.
I hope that doesn't scare off any potential clients. So to finish on a positive note we have definitely worked with a good share of very accommodating and forward thinking record labels and band managers. I would also say that mostly our shoots operate like a well oiled machine and this is partly due to all the experiences we have encountered as producers and directors along the way. We also believe that it is a necessary part of a directors skill set to solve any technical and creative problems that may arise in the middle of a shoot and I would say after a few years experience we have become quite good at this.
OG: What's next for Krozm? Any secrets to share?
CH: At the moment it seems we have hit a point in Australia where we are being asked to pitch on a wide range of music videos but a lot of the time our ideas are seen as too weird or too risky for the average Australian pop or rock star. However every now and then someone with similar tastes and ideals lets us run with our collective imagination and we plan to take full advantage of those opportunities when they arise.
Recently we have been able to fit in a few small creative projects here in Melbourne and there are a few quite interesting things on the horizon here but nothing we can really discuss at this point. There are also a few interesting music video briefs coming in from Mighty 8 in the US so hopefully we can land one of those jobs and visit the refreshing climate of Hollywood again soon. However at the moment after our trip to Europe, which was an exhausting yet inspiring tour of meetings we would really just like to jump straight into a bigger and more challenging project. Ideally something that really lets us flex our creative muscles.

This is a continuation of the FX-79 Buffalo QuadPlane conversion from the original thread here in the Plane 3.8 forum. The newer VTOL forum is more appropriate for this topic and it allows us to change APM releases over time.
Our Fall weather this year in Upstate NY has been cold, wet, and windy, so it's time to start catching up on building projects. I purchased 4 air speed sensors for different projects and decided to go with the older analog APM AS Sensors because they are less than half the price of their I2C counterparts. By creating your own 3-pin to R/C servo cable, you can effectively save $25 per AS sensor. I have been using the analog sensors for years without issue.
I found the AS sensor easy to mount by using one of the three air holes up front. The middle hole is meant for a camera but I have not used it yet. The FX-79 is big so you can mount the AS sensor in many places. I glued the metal pitot tube in place using Foam Tac.
In preparation for further test flights and adding payload, I re-visited my previous idea of adding the 3D printed retracts meant for the Opterra 2M wing. I now have an Opterra 2M wing set up as APM Plane so I could compare the underside with the FX-79. I decided that it would not be a great fit to mount the retracts in the FX-79 due to differences in the wing design.
Now that my FX-79 is a VTOL craft, retracts (or a rolling base) are not required like they are on a plane. I couldn't find an appropriate size heli sled so I decided to try the Foxtech Hover 1 EZ Folding Landing Gear Kit for $20. The 4 landing legs easily mount to the square carbon tube and fold 90 degrees for storage or travel. Although larger feet may be needed on grass, the idea is to lift the 2 meter wing off the ground for payloads to extend underneath.
My Foxtech EZ Folding Landing Gear legs arrived so I started installing them. I was afraid to drill holes through the carbon tube, due to the motor wires being in the way, so I mounted them using #6 sheet metal screws that only went partially through the tube. I added some Foam Tac so they wouldn't back out over time. They feel secure so we'll see how they hold up on a rough landing. I also added a larger rubber foot from an inexpensive quad landing let set from GoodLuckBuy. These will help the FX-79 land on softer grass surfaces.
I also discovered that Ace Hardware sells 5/8" square plastic caps meant for furniture so I was able to re-cover the 15mm tube ends. I had lost several of the original caps on my maiden flight crash due to the tuck. The new caps (also sold on eBay from China) have multiple fins for a better hold.
I finished installing my new foldable landing legs, AS Sensor, and new X8R receiver. The antennas on my older X8R receiver had broken coax cables which kept giving me "RSSI LOW" alarms during flight. You can see the new X8R "V" antenna mount and black foam covering the AS Sensor in the first photo. I also upgraded to the latest Plane v3.9.3 with ChibiOS and performed a short hover in my backyard before finally storing the FX-79 QuadPlane for the winter. We had bad weather this Fall and jumped right into winter weather so I decided to save further testing until next summer.
I have a stock FX79 with 3DR PH and is been flying fine as a fixed wing from a 4s lipo. Now thinking to convert it to a quad plane.
Asking all people who've done it earlier, is it better to convert to a 6s setup when converting to a quad plane or is it advisable to stay in 4s itself?
What motors to be used if doing a 6s setup or a 4s setup?
You can use either a 4s or a 6s setup as long as the battery can deliver the current needed for hover. For example, the SunnySky motors I used in my FX-79 QuadPlane can run on a 4s setup with 12" props or a 6s setup using 10" props. I have used them on many different setups like 4s Tarot copters, 6s FireFLY6s, and my 4s FX-79.
Thank you Greg, I saw the spec of the SS3508 700kv motor, the specs are rated only for a 4s.
Also, i was thinking of using TMotors 4006 380kv with 15inch props and 6s 10000mah, will this be an over kill for the fx79?
Is there a conversion kit i can purchase from somewhere, were i get the carbon tubes and the motor mounts and everything else needed for the conversion?
The motors are rated for 4s when using a 12" prop. When using a 10" prop, the current is reduced so a 6s rating works great.
15" props will work as long as the booms are long enough to clear the props. The idea is shorter props will result in less drag. Depending on your application, the hover periods are usually quite low so you don't need to make it a super hover machine like a copter.
I'm not aware of any conversion kits for this model.
As of now the pusher motor is the stock 3542 850kv; did you change the pusher also to the 3508 700kv or only the quad?
All my parts are in post 1 of part 1 here. I used an upgraded forward power system originally tested on my Volantex Ranger EX. I suspect that the stock power system would work fine on 4s because most of the my flights have the throttle reduced to 50%.
No, we're still having winter here. I don't fly much in the snow and cold anymore other than a few float planes. I'm off to Italy in April so maybe I'll return to flying VTOLs by the end of May.
I have vibrations in the engines, yet the propellers are well balanced.
Maybe it is from PID?
It looks good except for the vibration. Look into these settings below. Mine are set to 0.25 for both. Try lowering yours a bit from what they are. What are your power system components?
I have same motors of you.
Esc is T f55A 4in1.
And i have à copy of your config.
How is your Pixhawk mounted? Is it mounted on a vibration dampener like mine?
Also, you are in a small enclosed area which may be blowing the air around. Maybe you can try a hover test in a more open field.

Football Predictions of Monday, January 13
Parma vs Lecce Prediction
Stadio Ennio Tardini will host Monday's football game between Parma and Lecce. Parma aim to bounce back from a heavy 5-0 loss to Atalanta, and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Lecce in front of home fans. The Gli Emiliani aim to retain their spot in the top half of the Serie A standings, but home win should not be considered as pacey winger Gervinho is ... Read More...
This match will be played on 13/01/2020 at 02:45 PM
Football Predictions of Tuesday, January 14
Blackpool vs Reading Prediction
A spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup will be at stake when Blackpool and Reading face each other at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday evening. The Seasiders are on a five-game winless run in the League One, but their performances are better than the results. Over the years Blackpool have turned their home ground into a real fortress, which is the main reason why we believe that... Read More...
Coventry vs Bristol Rovers Prediction
St. Andrew's Trillion Trophy Stadium will host the FA Cup replay between Coventry City and Bristol Rovers. Coventry City are on the right track to book their place in the League One play-offs, but they are seen as one of the main favourites to secure automatic promotion to the Championship as well.
The Sky Blues failed to impress in the 2-2 draw with Bristol Rovers... Read More...
Newcastle vs Rochdale Prediction
After holding Wolverhampton to a draw at Molineux Stadium at the weekend, Newcastle United will be aiming to book their place in the FA Cup round 4 with a win over Rochdale at their St. James' Park. The Magpies produced an excellent performance in the 1-1 draw with the Wolves at the weekend despite Dwight Gale and Paul Dummett were forced to leave the pitch due to injuries... Read More...
Shrewsbury vs Bristol City Prediction
A place in the FA Cup round 4 will be at stake when Shrewsbury Town and Bristol City face each other at Montgomery Waters Meadow on Tuesday evening. The Shrews are on a four-game winless run in the League One, with the team sharing the spoils with Lincoln City in their last league match. Sam Ricketts' troops do not seem to be on top of their game ahead of the FA Cup replay... Read More...
Tranmere vs Watford Prediction
Watford will be looking to build on a 3-0 win over Bournemouth when they take on Tranmere Rovers at Prenton Park on Tuesday evening. The Hornets have been performing well in the Premier League ever since Nigel Pearson took over the reins. Watford are brimming with confidence ahead of the FA Cup round 3 replay; therefore, we believe that away win should be considered.
Tottenham vs Middlesbrough Prediction
Tottenham will be looking to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Liverpool when they take on Middlesbrough in the FA Cup round 3 replay. Jose Mourinho's troops are eager to give fans some cheer; therefore, home win should be considered even though Harry Kane remains in the recovery room. In his absence, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Korea international Son, wh... Read More...
Napoli vs Perugia Prediction
Napoli will be looking to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Lazio when they welcome Perugia at their Stadio San Paolo in the Coppa Italia last 16. The Neapolitans have slim chances of winning Scudetto, meaning that they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Serie B side in the Italian Cup clash. Genaro Gattuso's troops want this win more than Perugia, who are eyeing a place... Read More...
This match will be played on 14/01/2020 at 09:00 AM
Lazio vs Cremonese Prediction
Stadio Olimpico will host Tuesday's Coppa Italia game between Lazio and Cremonese, the two teams who have different ambitions in the second half of the season. The Biancocelesti are eyeing fifth consecutive win in all competitions, with the team recording a very important 1-0 triumph over Napoli at the weekend. Lazio are still in the race for the Serie A trophy, but they w... Read More...
Inter vs Cagliari Prediction
A place in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals will be at stake when Inter and Cagliari face each other at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on Tuesday evening. Inter head into the Italian Cup game following a 1-1 draw with Atalanta, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat Cagliari in front of home fans. Antonio Conte's men are ready for their Coppa Italia debut, and we predict that ... Read More...
Porto vs Varzim Prediction
Varzim
Porto play host to Varzim at their Estadio Do Dragao in the Taca de Portugal quarter-finals. The Dragons aim to build on a 4-2 win over Moreirense, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their seventh consecutive win in all competitions. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Vincent Aboubakar, who has overcome his injury. Since Porto have turned their Es... Read More...
Benfica vs Rio Ave Prediction
After coming from behind to beat Desportivo Aves in their last league match, Benfica will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they host Rio Ave at their Estadio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica. The Eagles have defeated the likes of Cova Piedade, Vizela, and Sporting Braga on their way to the Taca de Portugal quarter-finals, and they are seen as hot favo... Read More...
Burton vs MK Dons Prediction
MK Dons
Pirelli Stadium will host midweek fixture midweek Burton Albion and Milton Keynes Dons, the two teams with different ambitions in the second half of the season. Burton are eyeing a place in the play-offs, and we predict that they are going to adopt an attack-minded approach in the postponed clash. The Brewers have been producing excellent performances in the League One in 20... Read More...
Lincoln vs Bolton Prediction
Sincil Park will host Tuesday's football game between Lincoln City and Bolton Wanderers, the two teams who sit in the bottom of the League One standings. Situation in the Bolton dressing room is, undisputedly, much worse as they have collected only seven points from possible 66 (deduction included). The Trotters have several games in hand, but they are still 17 points behi... Read More...
Oxford United vs Ipswich Prediction
All eyes will be on the Kassam Stadium when Oxford United and Ipswich Town face each other in the League One derby. The Yellows aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to the likes of Doncaster Rovers and Rotherham United, and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play in the midweek fixture. Marcus Brown, who came as a substitute and scored in... Read More...
Morecambe vs Port Vale Prediction
After suffering three consecutive defeats in the League Two, Morecambe shared the spoils with Colchester United in their last league match. The Shrimps remained in the relegation zone, meaning that the postponed fixture against Port Vale is of big importance for the home side. Morecambe showed character in the draw with Colchester United, and they will be looking to build on... Read More...
Stevenage vs Oldham Prediction
The Lamex Stadium will host postponed fixture between Stevenage and Oldham Athletic. Stevenage aim to put an end to their ten-game winless run in the League Two, with the team eyeing their first league win since October 26, 2019. The Boro do not seem to be on top of their game ahead of the visit of Oldham Athletic, and you should bear in mind that they failed to find the net... Read More...

VIEW PREDICTION
The world of football is a pretty complex place, and as such, there are a lot of variables to enjoying the game. The majority of us tend to just watch and marvel at the amazement of these teams and players on a week to week basis, but sometimes, that isn't the only way forward.
A lot of viewers also like to register their own predictions and football tips on games, and as such, this page is going to be of good use to anyone who fits into that category. This site, and page specifically, allows you to read through all of the predictions for every single major game on a day to day basis. If there are no primary games taking place on the day that you happen to stumble upon the site, then don't worry – as we'll also have predictions for the upcoming days too.
From domestic football to the international game, we've got fans covered on all fronts. If you wish to navigate your way through, feel free to use the calendar. This will allow you to browse a series of different leagues and games in order to get a wider spectrum of what is available. Long story short: if there's a big game on, we'll be here to cover it. Visitors can also enjoy our latest addition; Bet of the Day, where you can grab our best betting tip of the day!
Which football leagues do we cover?
There are so many leagues out there for fans to bet on and predict on and this stage, that you won't be surprised to discover we also cover the majority of them. We primarily discuss the six biggest leagues (in our mind) that we're going to go on to discuss now, and all of them have unique traits and attributes that we believe make them fascinating to watch.
Premier League – The English Premier League is considered by many to be the most entertaining division of football on the planet, and it's kind of hard to argue against that. Many of the world's top clubs compete there, and when it comes to the finances involved, it's pretty difficult to say they aren't at the top of the list. Manchester United are obviously considered to be the biggest name, but alongside them you've got the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and so many more.
La Liga or Primera Division – Perhaps the greatest footballer we've ever seen, Lionel Messi, has been calling La Liga home with Barcelona for longer than we can remember. As such that kind of puts them forward as one of the primary frontrunners in the debate of 'best league in the world', and the actual style of play certainly suits that theory. Things are a bit slower over there with Barca, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid often dominating proceedings, but they certainly know how to get results.
Serie A – The Italian league is on the rise after spending a few years in the doldrums, and it is being led by the surging juggernaut of Juventus. They've been consistently reigning supreme for almost a decade now, and in the last twelve months, they've had Cristiano Ronaldo guiding the way. You've also got both Milan clubs who are steeped in history, as well as Napoli, Lazio and Roma.
Bundesliga – Football is a simple game: you run around for 90 minutes, and then at the end, the Germans win. That's the famous saying, and while it hasn't been as true in the last few years as it has in previous generations, they're still located towards the top of the food chain. The Bundesliga clubs have some of the most insane fans we've ever seen, with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich continuing to set the standard at the top.
Ligue 1 – Ligue 1 is the home nation of the current world champions France, which should tell you all that you need to know regarding the talent they produce over there. The quality of the league itself isn't considered to be on the same level as some of the alternatives we've already listed, but even so, it's hard not to marvel at the excellence of Paris Saint-Germain after what they've been able to accomplish in recent times.
Champions League – The pinnacle of European football. The Champions League brings together the biggest and best teams from throughout the continent, in a competition that allows them to battle it out and determine who really does stand at the top of the mountain. Real Madrid have dominated in recent years, but beyond that, the quality of football is always just so remarkable to watch.
Europa League – For the teams who are just on the edge of greatness, the Europa League provides them with a chance to prove that they can do battle with other sides from across Europe. The winner of this competition is able to make their way into the UCL the following season, which is a big enough incentive for anyone. Historically, the Spanish teams seem to thrive here.
We don't stop covering only these six leagues. Each season we add new leagues giving our visitors the most accurate football tips and predictions out there. During summer, when regular leagues are in a break, we cover the most important tournaments as well.
Our team of experts don't just focus on one specific player, team or league, and instead, they correlate data from every corner of the football world to make up some of the best predictions you'll find throughout the land. They're so precise and careful with the ideas they put forward, which is why they're so heavily trusted and so highly regarded.
We keep getting bigger and better with each and every passing day, and every week provides us with a new opportunity to make magic happen.
Where to place bets?

Preliminary evaluation of the Kepler input catalog extinction model using stellar temperatures
Gail Zasowski, Deokkeun An, Marc Pinsonneault
The Kepler Input Catalog (KIC) provides reddening estimates for its stars, based on the assumption of a simple exponential dusty screen. This project focuses on evaluating and improving these reddening estimates for the KIC's giant stars, for which extinction is a much more significant concern than for the nearby dwarf stars. We aim to improve the calibration (and thus consistency) amongst various photometric and spectroscopic temperatures of stars in the Kepler field by removing systematics due to incorrect extinction assumptions. The revised extinction estimates may then be used to derive improved stellar and planetary properties. We plan to eventually use the large number of KIC stars as probes into the structure and properties of the Galactic ISM.

We aim to improve the calibration (and thus consistency) amongst various photometric and spectroscopic temperatures of stars in the Kepler field by removing systematics due to incorrect extinction assumptions. The revised extinction estimates may then be used to derive improved stellar and planetary properties. We plan to eventually use the large number of KIC stars as probes into the structure and properties of the Galactic ISM.

Paris Whitney Hilton (ur. 17 lutego 1981 w Nowym Jorku) – amerykańska celebrytka, modelka, aktorka, piosenkarka i projektantka mody.

Życiorys

Wczesne lata
Urodziła się w Nowym Jorku w rodzinie rzymskokatolickiej jako córka aktorki Kathy Elizabeth (z domu Avanzino) i Richarda Howarda "Ricka" Hiltona. Jej pradziadek Conrad Hilton założył sieć hoteli Hilton, co zapoczątkowało powstanie rodzinnej fortuny. Wychowywała się z trójką rodzeństwa: młodszą siostrą Nicholaią Olivią "Nicky" (ur. 1983) oraz młodszymi braćmi – Barronem Nicholasem Hiltonem II (ur. 1989) i Conradem Hughesem Hiltonem III (ur. 1994). Jest siostrzenicą aktorek Kim Richards i Kyle Richards. Hilton jest pochodzenia norweskiego, niemieckiego, włoskiego, angielskiego, irlandzkiego i szkockiego.

Większość dzieciństwa spędziła w hotelu Waldorf-Astoria na Manhattanie. W latach 1995–1996 uczyła się w Marywood-Palm Valley School w Kalifornii. W 1996 rozpoczęła naukę w Convent of the Sacred Heart. W 1996-1999 uczęszczała do nowojorskiej Dwight School. W 1997 trafiła do centrum leczenia dla nastolatków z problemami emocjonalnymi Provo Canyon School w Utah. W latach 1998–1999 uczyła się w Canterbury Boarding School. W 2000 roku uzyskała dyplom ukończenia szkoły średniej.

Kariera
Jeszcze jako dziecko zaczęła pojawiać się jako modelka na imprezach charytatywnych. W wieku 19 lat podpisała kontrakt z agencją modelek T Management Donalda Trumpa. Pracowała jako modelka dla renomowanych projektantów mody, takich jak Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Bouwer czy Catherine Malandrino. Pojawiła się w magazynach "GQ", "Vanity Fair" i "FHM".

W 1992 zadebiutowała jako aktorka trzecioplanową rolą dziewczynki na plaży w filmie fantasy Wishman u boku Geoffreya Lewisa i Briona Jamesa. Dostała się też do obsady komedii Bena Stillera Zoolander (2001), dreszczowca Sweetie Pie (2002) z Cisco Adlerem i komedii Paula Shore Pauly Shore nie żyje (Pauly Shore Is Dead, 2003). Pojawiła się także w horrorze 9 żyć (Nine Lives, 2003) jako Jo, dramacie kryminalnym Wonderland (2003) jako Barbie i ekranizacji książki Dr. Seussa Kot w kapeluszu (The Cat in the Hat, 2003) jako klubowiczka.

Od 2 grudnia 2003 do 5 sierpnia 2007 razem ze swoją przyjaciółką Nicole Richie była bohaterką reality show produkcji Fox Proste życie (The Simple Life). Wystąpiła też w teledysku do utworu Eminema "Just Lose It" (2004), komedii romantycznej Wygraj randkę (Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!, 2004) jako Heather i komedii romantycznej Garry'ego Marshalla Mama na obcasach (Raising Helen, 2004) jako Amber.

W 2005 Jaume Collet-Serra zaangażował ją do roli Paige Edwards w horrorze Dom woskowych ciał (House of Wax), która nie została dobrze przyjęta przez krytyków filmowych i przyniosła jej Złotą Malinę w kategorii "Najgorsza aktorka drugoplanowa", a także dostała Teen Choice Awards i nominację do MTV Movie Awards w kategorii "Najlepsza scena przerażenia". W marcu 2005 trafiła na okładkę jubileuszowego wydania magazynu "Playboy".

W 2009 otrzymała trzy Złote Maliny w kategoriach: "Najgorsza para ekranowa" z Christine Lakin i Joelem Davidem Moore i "Najgorsza aktorka" jako Cristabel Abbott w komedii romantycznej Muza i meduza (The Hottie and the Nottie, 2008) oraz "Najgorsza aktorka drugoplanowa" za rolę Amber Sweet w filmie Darrena Lynna Bousmana Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008).

Rozwijała także karierę muzyczną. Nagrała kilka singli, w tym m.in. "Don't Touch It", "Turn It Up" i "Caught Up in the Rapture". Latem 2006 ukazał się jej debiutancki album pt. Paris, który promowany był m.in. przez singiel "Stars Are Blind".

W październiku 2011 przyjechała do Katowic, gdzie 13 października uroczyście otworzyła nową część centrum handlowego Silesia City Center.

Życie prywatne
Za prowadzenie samochodu pod wpływem alkoholu została we wrześniu 2006 skazana na karę grzywny, trzyletni nadzór sądowy oraz zawieszenie ważności prawa jazdy w okresie nadzoru sądowego. 4 maja 2007 została skazana na 45 dni aresztu po tym, jak została zatrzymana, prowadząc samochód bez ważnego prawa jazdy. Wyrok został, po apelacji, zmniejszony o połowę i był odbywany w oddziale więziennym dla VIP-ów. Wykonanie kary rozpoczęło się 3 czerwca, a już 7 czerwca 2007 zostało zamienione na areszt domowy w wyniku decyzji szeryfa Lee Baca z uzasadnieniem bliżej nieokreślonego "złego stanu zdrowia" skazanej. 8 czerwca, po interwencji sędziego Michaela Sauera i prokuratora Rocky Delgadillo, Hilton wróciła do więzienia, by odbyć swą karę w zakładzie karnym w pełnym wymiarze 45 dni. Ostatecznie z więzienia wyszła 26 czerwca.

We wrześniu 2010 sąd w Las Vegas skazał ją za posiadanie kokainy na rok pozbawienia wolności w zawieszeniu, 200 godzin prac społecznych i przymusową kurację odwykową.

Pojawiała się w mediach z powodu licznych romansów z takimi aktorami jak: Randy Spelling (od maj 1996 do lipca 1999), Edward Furlong (od września 1999 do maja 2000) i Leonardo DiCaprio (we wrześniu 2000) oraz bokserem Oscarem De La Hoya (w czerwcu 2000).

W lutym 2001 poznała zawodowego gracza w pokera Ricka Salomona. Kiedy para się rozstała, Salomon wydał pornograficzny film na DVD 1 Noc w Paris (1 Night in Paris). Gdy Paris podała go do sądu, zawarł ugodę. Dał jej 400 tys. dol. oraz tantiemy ze sprzedaży filmu.

Spotykała się z modelem Jasonem Shawem (od sierpnia 2001 do lutego 2003), Tomem Sizemore (w marcu 2002), przedsiębiorcą Joe Francisem (2003), Vincentem Gallo (w kwietniu 2003), z którym wystąpiła w wideoklipie "Honey Bunny" (2001), Markiem McGrathem (w maju 2003), piosenkarzem Deryckiem Whibley (w czerwcu 2003), Jamie Kennedy (we wrześniu 2003) i Jackiem Osbourne (we wrześniu 2003). Od grudnia 2003 do lipca 2004 była związana z Nickiem Carterem z Backstreet Boys. Romansowała także z Markiem Philippoussisem (2004), Simonem Rexem (2004-2008), Colin Farrell (2004), Chadem Michaelem Murrayem (w maju 2004), synem Stinga – Jakiem Sumnerem (w lipcu 2004), Fredem Durstem (we wrześniu 2004), Lucasem Babinem (w październiku 2004), skaterem Chadem Muską (od listopada 2004 do lutego 2005), multimilionerem Parisem Kasidokostasem Latsisem (od grudnia 2004 do września 2005), Valem Kilmerem (w marcu 2005), armatorem Stavrosem Niarchosem III (od października 2005 do kwietnia 2006), raperem Scottem Storchem (2006), kanadyjskim hokeistą José Théodore (w czerwcu 2006), milionerem Brandonem Davisem (w lipcu 2006), muzykiem Travisem Barkerem (we wrześniu 2006), tenisistą Andym Roddickiem (w październiku 2006), muzykiem Crissem Angelem (od października 2006 do lutego 2007), Kidem Rockiem (2007), Joshem Hendersonem (w marcu 2007), Jamesem Bluntem (w czerwcu 2007), Adrianem Grenierem (w sierpniu 2007), raperem 50 Cent (2008), Jaredem Leto (w styczniu 2008), Benjim Maddenem (w lutym 2008), Dougiem Reinhardtem (od lutego 2009 do kwietnia 2010), piłkarzem Realu Madryt Cristiano Ronaldo (w czerwcu 2009) i holenderskim DJ-em Afrojackiem (od sierpnia 2011 do sierpnia 2012).

ZHUBO DESIGN designed this southern Fujian style community club for Poly Group/ Sales Center located in Chenxiang Town, ChangtaiCounty, Zhangzhou, Fujian, China, in 2018. Take a look at the complete story after the jump.
From the architects: Poly Courtyard is located in Chenxiang Town, northwest of Changtai County, Zhangzhou adjacent to Xiamen. We were invited to create the project in a southern Fujian style community club for Poly Group, which will serve as a sales center at early stage and a public club for the entire community in later period. By inheriting the cultural philosophy of "harmony builds goodness", it has been the direction we are exploring to naturally integrate traditional elements into the design.
We carried out studies from three aspects, extraction of architectural forms, creation of interior space, and application of building materials.
The project base is adjacent to the arterial road in the south side as the gateway of the whole community, with a mountain stream of low water level in the east side, the entrance axis of the whole community in the west side, and a residential group the north side. We have designed corresponding coping modes for different periphery states to establish the final architectural form and organized the interior space.
Studies on existing "First Village of Southern Fujian", Daimei Ancient Village, Dongyuan Town have been conducted according to the regional characteristics of Zhangzhou, and arc ridge, the element in its architectural style of flush gable roof swallowtail ridge is extracted.. The final architectural form is established through transformation and combination of modern composition methods. The large overhangs used in the main façade can depict the overall image, intensify the sense of space depth at the entrances, and correspond to the limit access in the actual internal function area.
The building is designed in three storeys corresponding to different environmental factors, thus creating different space feelings. The ground floor connected to the natural landscape level will serve as a private leisure area with more semi-open spaces to blur the indoor and outdoor boundaries. The second floor under the arc roof will serve as a quiet meditation area to better experience the special fun inside the traditional elements. The first floor directly connected to the city will serve as a public activity area to link and open up the upper and lower floors. A core area is set for penetrating and connecting the semi-passage area where the arc of the roof changes, which undertakes main transport function and manifests the characteristics of each part at the same time.
According to the characteristic of "external brick and internal stone" (a mixture of brick and stone in the wall) of traditional residence in southern Fujian, the form characteristics of tile screen are selected for the texture of the façade. Modern metal materials are used to create a unique style. At the same time, the curtain wall keel is transformed to integrate with external texture tightly, creating a changing light and shadow indoors with the shifting of time and light ray. The roof and wall naturally matching into an integral whole through red terracotta panels can display a sense of modern composition in a tile-mimetic color.


man that caddy needs it you could def do it on that, heck you already got the trim painted. I have seen some awesome rustoleum paint jobs on here for less then 100 bucks. sand it spray it wet sand it repeat the process like 6 times and man, some of these paint jobs I've seen on youtube look like 3,000 dollar paint jobs.
what happened to the test?
Cool videos! I have to ask though, it's killing me… what's up with the beard?
HAHA, a yeard, I like it. How long's it been?
Right to the lip…THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!
Great video…please make more of them! YOU are helping to make the world a better place. Keep up the great work and come visit our channel too.

CD volume levels
I'm a bit confused by various recording levels I've found on CD's. While most fall in a narrow range of mastering/pressing levels, every so often, I'll run across a CD that was manufactured with a really hot (loud) level, while others are rather anemic (soft). I'm not talking about compression or limiting on the master tape, just the absolute mastering level on the CD. While I understand the physical limitations of cutting vinyl (a combination of science, art, with a little voodoo throw in for good measure), why would there be such a variation in the digital domain? Are there trade-offs with different levels when pressing CD's, just as on the analog vinyl?

While I am no expert on this subject, I read an article that said that the earlier CDs were recorded "soft", and did not make use of the full dynamic range that CD offered. Later,I think in the '90s, they discovered that they could get better dynamic range, and better sound, by recording them "hot". So, if you check when these CDs that you are talking about were made, you may find a correlation.

I cannot speak to the technical side of this topic either but can confirm that on my system I can definitley hear differences in the overall volume of the music recorded. I always assumed it was a matter of how the music was recorded. I have also noticed that on less than revealing audio systems, the difference in overall volume levels is not as apparent.
gthrush1
One way to quantify the differences is to playback on a CDR with level meters.

Hey Fatparrot...a really hot CD is probably compressed (or at the very least, limited) quite a bit to be as hot as it is.
When analog signals were run hot to magnetic tape, the tape would still accept the signal (up to a point), but it would compress them naturally. This is the analog tape saturation/compression that many people love (especially for rock music). It was still compression, but people seemed to think that it was more natural sounding. I think the volume level of LP's was limited because loud mastering volume would cause the needle to jump from the groove (I think...I don't know for sure).
Digital signals can only be so hot...they distort when they reach their peak volume. There is no natural analog-like compression that takes place...instead the signal breaks up and distorts badly. I assume most modern, louder CDs are using that 0db point as a maximum...making sure that the peaks of the recording don't hit that distortion point. A very dynamic, uncompressed recording will have a lower average volume because they need to allow that headroom to avoid distortion. For example...the average level of MFSL CDs is usually lower than standard mass market versions because they don't seem to use as much (if any) compression on the master...they lower the level a bit and allow the full dynamic range of the recording to show. They allow you control the volume with your amp & preamp (as it should be). Most modern, mass-market CDs will usually try be as loud as possible (at the request of the record labels). I believe the idea is that people think a louder CD "sounds better" and the louder volume level will also sound "stronger" on the radio. Many mastering engineers think this trend has gone way too far...to the point that it hurts the music (you could probably do a web search on this topic and find some info).
ALL CD's have the same maximum volume level. If a CD is much louder than others, it was probably compressed quite a bit while recording, mixing, mastering, or all three. This is especially true if it's louder than most modern CDs, because their average levels are already very high. A loud CD's average volume is much higher because the signal has been compressed (or limited) to a point that it has very few dynamic peaks. This allows them to raise the overall volume because they don't have any dynamic peaks left to breach the threshold and cause distortion.
I don't know if I did a very good job of explaining this, but I hope you get the general idea. If you're interested, you might be able to find some on-line interviews with some mastering engineers...I often see them mention this topic in interviews. Some refuse to master CDs to that overly-compressed point, but I've read that others (the ones that do most of the big labels' mastering) tell the clients, "Okay...this is as loud as I can make it without compromising the signal. If I make it any louder we'll lose dynamics, etc. It's your call....what do you want me to do?". He went on to say that most of the label reps tell him to master it louder. Oh well...
wywhcan
Your explanation makes a lot of sense. A good example is the the track Private Investigation on Love over Gold album by Dire Strait -- recording level is low but it has tremendous dynamic range. The same track on the latest compilation Sultans of Swing has a much higher recording level at the expense of reduced dynamic range. BTW, One thing that I like about the earlier Dire Strait albums on CD is the presence of tape hiss. It sure adds another dimension.
P.S. Do you guys think that all those 16Bit (storage and playback) "Digitally Remastered" re-issues are nothing more than boosted up recording level? I mean CD recording is 1bit PCM after all. What did they miss out originally?
I think a lot of the digital remastering is hit or miss. It definitely has a lot to do with marketing, but some of it is sincere and done well. Unfortunately, labels can have something cleaned up, boost the treble, and compressed and many people will tend to prefer it to the older version when they compare the two. The compression can actually make a recording sound like it has more details too. It doesn't only squash the loud signals...it brings up the quiter signals, both musical and unmusical (sibilance, reverb, string noise, etc). That makes it hard to tell whether a remastered version has more detail because of original masters and modern 24 bit remastering equipment, or simply because the signal has been compressed and altered. It all depends on how poor the original release was, and how well the remastering was handled. There are definitely many remasters that were done by talented people, using original master tapes, and good equipment. I suppose your ears will tell you which are good and which are bad. Excessive compression and loss of dynamics *usually* makes a recording more grating and harder to listen to for long periods of time. The ones that you end up preferring and listening to for hours and hours are probably the ones that were mastered properly.
As far as Dire Straits releases go...I'm not sure how well the originals were done. If I remember correctly, wasn't their first album cut a little short on one song?? A premature fade, or something? The tape hiss issue could mean that it was digitally removed on the new version (which would mean that some musical signal was probably removed with it), or it could mean that they used a different set of master tapes...quiter originals versus a copy. THere are a lot of possibilities, but I do think you're probably right about the newer remaster being compressed more than the older release...it's definitely a trend.
"Hotter" CD's in the pop jenre all have to do with marketing. When artists hear their song on the radio, and it is quiter than the next guy, they get upset. Most pop cd's have been mastered with TREMENDOUS amounts of compression and peak limiting. The reason being to have the disc play "as loud as possible". Fletcher/Munsen were the first psycoacousticians to create an average frequency responce vs. spl graph of human hearing. At louder absolute levels, our ear/brain mechanism tends to smooth out and become more "flat". At lower listening levels, we become less sensitive to bass frequencies and high frequencies. That's why you see "loudness" buttons on some older gear. It boosts the bass and high frequencies to make the level appear louder without turning up the volume knob. What I'm getting at is the same piece of music, played louder, will tend to sound "better" than the quiet version.
Now, if you look at most pop CD's released today on a digital meter (DAT deck, CDR etc) you'll notice that, if the mastering engineer did what he was told, the meters will be pegged at 0dBfs and jiggle up and down by no more than 3 db. At this level of dynamic range, a 16 bit recording has the mathematical dynamic resolution of a 4 bit PCM recording system. What the hell is the point? Classical orchestral discs (if mastered properly with minimal if no limiting or compression) for example sound quieter because, even though the musical PEAKS reach 0dBfs (1111111111111111), the avarage level (mezzo forte) lies at about -10dBfs. The quiet parts (Pianissimo) can be at the -30 to -50dBfs point. This is a dynamic range of 50dB! That's what truly tests a 16 bit system! But even in the classical field, we engineers are feeling the pressure to make as loud a CD as possible. That's why it's not unheard of to use a peak limiter to bring the average level of the CD up a couple to 3dB. Even a little bit of limiting is audible though, and those of us with a conscience avoid it like the plague.
Hey Alcides...thanks for all of the technical info and insight. I find this stuff fascinating. I was referring to rock/pop CDs in my rambling above, but I must admit...there have been a few jazz remasters that have made me wonder.
No problem Phild. I do want to add one thing though. There are very few, very talented mastering engineers that really know their rooms/monitors/and especially how to use their gear, that can manage to make a heavily compressed and limited record still sound immensly involving. If my record would have to be squashed inorder to compete in the marketplace, I'd be able to sleep at night knowing it came from their capable hands
Would you mind listing them or e-mailing me with their names?? I may be looking into mastering a rock band recording sometime soon. I'd be especially interested in any in, or near, Chicago. Thanks again!
Thanks guys. This has been highly educational.

MFR is NOT like a massage with gliding strokes and oil. There is no oil/lotion used, you are in some clothing (see below), laying on top of the sheet (blanket added if you're cold), and the pressure I use is generally lighter than a massage. Pain/pressure on a 1 - 10 scale (very light to OUCH!) should only be around a 6 or 7 since I will be holding my position in an area for 5min minimum or however long we sense the body needs the work there. It is NOT a deep tissue massage, or something deeper than a deep tissue massage, or like Rolfing.
We will discuss your health history and pain patterns, do a visual assessment of you to analyze imbalances in the body to help guide the treatment, and most importantly get you on the table to experience the work. After the session I will provide you with self-myofascial release techniques for homework.
How do I dress for an MFR Session?
MFR requires use of the skin as a lever for the fascial system. Therefore, male patients wear athletic shorts and women wear loose shorts or bikini bottoms plus a sports bra. Please DO NOT put on lotion prior to your MFR session. I need to gently "anchor" into your skin without sliding or gliding.
Can symptoms get worse after treatment sessions?
Some patients, especially those with complex or chronic pain, experience what can best be labeled as a Healing Response, especially after the first few treatment sessions. It is not uncommon, especially initially, to feel "stirred up" after some sessions. This occurs as layers of built up tissue restrictions begin to soften, lengthen, and release. Longstanding restrictions actually store accumulated toxins so when they open/release, these toxins are finally able to escape the body. This is why we recommend that all of our MFR clients drink water after each MFR session. The increased water consumption ensures that the released toxins can be eliminated from the body. It is important to know and remember that MFR never injures and never harms. Symptoms may increase or migrate as the body shifts into better alignment and longstanding restrictions leave the body. This is all just a reflection of positive change occurring in the body and it is part of the healing process.

I always enjoy going to food fairs because this is where I discover new food vendors and yummy food finds. So last week, my daughter and I met up with some cousins at Glorietta 5 to check out Bellysima Food Fair. Bellysima is under the Mercato Centrale group. However, some will rejoice because Bellysima only runs during mall hours and its inside the mall, too so its much more convenient to shop.
Chicharon from Apag Marangle. I have an aversion to dark-colored chicharon because I always thought its "malansa" but this chicharon from Apag Marangle changed my mind. I was thinking of using the chicharon for our favorite monggo dish but fell in love upon first bite. Now I only have a few pieces left (I don't even want to share- haha). Btw, it doesn't seem taste like its coated with fat when I eat it straight from the chiller. Yes, I hid the chicharon in the chiller. ;) Glad that Friday and Saturday are Bellysima days!
Chicken Flakes. We got the mild spicy one. Daughter likes to pair it with rice, while I prefer it on bread. The seller said it can also be paired with pasta. Will try that with what's left- haha.
Edible Cookie Dough. My daughter had the Red Velvet and Smores. She loves the red velvet while I am always partial to the ones with lots of chocolate. ;) These goodies last for about 3 weeks in the fridge so time to hoard now. Costs P120.
Lokalitea. The Turmeric Lemongrass is so good! I drank mine super cold from the fridge and its so refreshing especially now that we are having a "summer" weather again. A bottle costs P40 only. This is a healthier and cheaper alternative to coffee. I've also tasted the pandan flavor but I still like the lemongrass one.
Chocolate Mangoes by Cocoa Monster Manila. This box costs P250. I love the shape and its much more fun to bite this than the chocolate coated dried mangoes but they have that also. This is so good. Best as pasalubong also if you're visiting family and relatives abroad.
What's a food fair without ice-cream? Glad that they have Mio Gelati. Of course, daughter had the red velvet flavor. She gives it a thumbs up!
A surprise (not food) find. Actually, we've been using the Wellness Spray of Neutra Organics since late last year and even my nephew and aunts swear by its "healing" powers already. Alas, they don't have a regular booth and because I am a traditional shopper (I love holding the product and checking the labels, etc) so ordering online from them is not really an option. Luckily, they have a booth in Bellysima and I was really happy to see them. Bought some bottles of the Wellness Spray for my nephew. Will post my review soon, stay tuned.
Here's daughter and my cousin. They're checking the Edible Cookie Dough booth. They happily went home with several bottles. Yum!
Bellysima is open every Friday and Saturday at Glorietta 5 Atrium from 10am-10pm.


*Claps at Blues Bro's diss on Steve Puke* Anyway, Zelda was the start of a great vidgame series and also the start of the real time rpg genre. I'm not much of a Zelda fan, but I think Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past wouldn't be classics if this weren't even thought of! What am I talkin' about? They wouldn't exist! Anyway, the graphics aren't really great, but aren't that bad either. The gameplay is one of my favorites in RPGs, you get to go around slashing the hell outta Deku Shrubs with a sword, and you defeat Ganon with that sword. The story is nice: Locate all the Triforces and defeat Ganon to save Hyrule. The only big problem with this game is the fact that they don't give you any clues where to go next, making it a little frustrating...but nonetheless, an all-time favorite of mine. 10/10 on this one baby!!!
