May 1 (Wednesday) is Labor Day holiday. There will be no school then and offices will be closed.
The much-awaited LS Track & Field Meet will be on Saturday, May 4. This is open to all Grades 3 to 5 students and they are encouraged to join as many events they want. Letters for after-school training have gone home this week. For more information, you may email Coach Manas at gmanas@brent.edu.ph.

Birthdays are recognized in class and during Chapel.
Handing out of tokens or 'goodie bags' to classmates is allowed but they need to be reasonably minimal, mostly composed of pens/pencils, erasers, stickers, etc. Food in 'goodie bags' are discouraged as we have a number of students with severe allergies to various food items/ingredients.
Bringing in of cupcakes (at the most, and not whole cakes that will have to be sliced and served) to share with classmates is permissible. Again, please be aware of food allergies.
For the ELC, parents of children this young often want to have a blowing of candles as part of their memento of their child's birthday. Bringing in of a small cake with candles for the sake of candle blowing will be allowed however, this cake is not to be consumed in school and therefore will have to be brought back home.
No other food is to be bought at (such as pizza) or brought to school to celebrate a student's birthday. Parents, yayas or drivers will be told to bring them back home. If this is refused, the food will not be served in the classroom but instead will be placed in the Faculty Lounge for teachers to share.
• Please be sure to send a healthy snack daily for your child's afternoon recess break. We strongly discourage the drinking of soda in the Lower School. ID Account deposits will not be accepted in the school offices. Please send your deposits to the Main Cafeteria or Cashier.
• Brent International School requires all parents/visitors to sign in and get a visitor's ID card.

Take the Front Seat for Toronto Sports
Play ball! Sports have come back to Toronto after two years of pandemic limits, and fans are itching to get into the seats. With most major Toronto sports venues just blocks from DelSuites locations, you're in a winning spot to catch a game.
So if you're a sports fan visiting Toronto, here are the best games you can catch this spring and summer: both major-league and underground.
Baseball: The Toronto Blue Jays
The Jays haven't played at home since the COVID-19 pandemic started, so excitement for the 2022 season is high. With a homegrown lineup full of 2021 All-Stars—and a pitching staff that's finally got itself right—a day at the ballpark is going to crackle this year.
The Rogers Centre is literal steps from Element and Icon—three minutes' walk down the block!—and a short walk from 10 York and 300 Front Street West. Tickets can range from $20 a seat in the nosebleeds to significantly more at the luxurious, reservations-only TD Clubhouse behind home plate: complete with buffet, padded seats, and concierge service.
Toronto's ballpark food can be much more interesting than the usual hot dogs and fries—although the traditional eats are all there. There's lots of local beer and cider available, and you can bring your own snacks as long as they're wrapped well.
Opening day is April 8th, and games stretch into October.
Basketball: The Toronto Raptors
In 2019 the Raptors took the NBA championship, and nobody in Toronto will ever let you forget it. It's a great reason to check out Canada's only NBA team: the vibe is fun, competitive, and fierce.
The Raptors play out of Scotiabank Arena, just around the corner from 10 York and a short walk from Qwest, Element, Icon, and 300 Front Street West. It's also connected to Toronto's underground PATH Network, so it's easy to get to the arena and stay dry on a rainy day.
Raptors tickets are in demand, and even modest seats will put you back about $90 after fees, but you're getting an experience, not just a game. There's a huge variety of concessions at Scotiabank Arena: sandwiches, hot dogs, poutine, and drinks feature. But you can also get sushi, premium rum and vodka, and high-end restaurant dining while you watch the shot clock.
The regular season goes into April, and tickets are still available.
Hockey: The Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Marlies, and the Toronto Six
NHL tickets are a splurge for most people, but a night at the Scotiabank Arena watching the Leafs is well worth the price. And with the regular season running into April, there's still time to catch pro league hockey.
But for hockey fans who need something a little more affordable—or like a different challenge—there's the AHL Toronto Marlies. The Leafs' AHL development team plays out of Exhibition Place's Coca-Cola Coliseum, a 10-minute trip by car or transit from our Qwest and 10 York locations.
A night out at the Marlies is its own kind of excitement. Not all the passes connect, and not all the shots get blocked—which makes the game a different kind of exciting. The season also stretches from October to April, and you can snag tickets for as little as $25.
If you're into women's professional hockey, Toronto's best-kept hockey secret is its Premier Hockey Federation Team. The two-year-old Toronto Six plays in at York Canlan Sports Arena, in the city's northwest. Tickets top out at $30 a seat, and with a strong roster, it's a guaranteed good time.
Soccer: Toronto FC
Toronto isn't always known as a soccer city, but the fan base for Toronto FC—the city's Major League Soccer team—are absolute diehards. Toronto FC's the first—and only—Canadian MLS team, and won the MLS Cup in 2017.
Toronto FC home games are at BMO Field—in the same Exhibition Place complex as the Marlies. It's a newer venue with a full accessibility policy and barrier-free seating available. Snacks and concessions cater to Toronto's soccer-loving Italian and Portuguese communities, with panini and hot chicken next to more usual favourites.
Toronto FC plays February through October, making them a great outdoor choice for long summer nights. Tickets range from an easy $28 to premium seats at over $150 each.
Racing: The Honda Indy
If you're into an entirely different kind of sports—motor sports—Toronto's also home to a major IndyCar race.
Taking place over the weekend of July 15-17, the almost 40-year-old race is IndyCar's second-longest street circuit. The track loops around the Exhibition Place complex, and is accessible (ironically!) by TTC and GO Transit.
Ticket prices and catering options are yet to be announced, but should be available by May.
Enjoy the thrill of being steps away from the beating heart of the city: on game day or every day. Call DelSuites at 647-370-3504 or email info@delsuites.com to find out how we can open Toronto up for you to discover.

Football computer games 'make people the most aggressive'
Read lifestyle news as you browse for occupations fancy dress with Escapade
Despite regular claims about violent video games causing players to become more aggressive, it appears football titles may be more provocative.
A study by Dr Simon Goodson and Sarah Pearson of Huddersfield University looked at the brain and heart activity of people playing sports games as opposed to shoot-em-up games.
It was found that letting a goal in actually produced more emotion than shooting an enemy because it is closer to real life.
Dr Goodson commented:
New app shows how risky your life is
If you've ever wondered how dangerously you are living, then you might be pleased to know there is a new app to tell you.
Fearsquare has been written by researchers at the University of Lincoln and works in conjunction with the popular Foursquare service.
When users check in to various locations such as hotels or cinemas by visiting them, the new app compares the data with crime figures from local police databanks.
It can then work out how many crimes were
Russian students launch rocket in honour of Yuri Gagarin
A group of Russian students paid tribute to Yuri Gagarin this week by launching a rocket from their university campus.
April 12th 2011 marked 50 years since the cosmonaut became the first man ever to travel into space and orbit the earth.
To celebrate, the Siberian State Aerospace University students made a rocket and then set it off into the air. For some reason, the craft was shaped like a guitar, but it certainly made for an interesting spectacle as it zoomed across the

Q: How can I change scene by just clicking a sprite(Button) on AndEngine? I am trying to make button that can change scene.
public class StartBtn extends Sprite {
boolean position = false;

public StartBtn(float pX, float pY, ITextureRegion pTextureRegion,
        VertexBufferObjectManager pVertexBufferObjectManager) {
    super(pX, pY, pTextureRegion, pVertexBufferObjectManager);
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

@Override
public boolean onAreaTouched(TouchEvent pSceneTouchEvent, float localAreaX, float localAreaY) {
    if(pSceneTouchEvent.isActionUp()) {
        MainActivity.StartGame();

    }
    return true;
}

}
and StartGame() at MainActivity is like this
public void StartGame() {
    this.mEngine.setScene(new MainGameScene(this));
}
But it has error on static, and I can't think of other ways. Is there any examples that I can help?

Every character played by the same actor is now a part of one continuous story. Which actor has the best story arc?
We asked our regular contributors through e-mail Every character played by the same actor is now a part of one continuous story. Which actor has the best story arc? We got many interesting responses. Here are some of them. We have just copied and pasted their responses, not editing them in any way.
1. Patrick Stewart. He rises to power, becoming King in the 1600s. Hundreds of years later he develops amazing psychic abilities and opens up a school for other gifted people like him only to become Captain of the Enterprise centuries later.
– ELKronos
2. Christian Bale. Races cars and scams politicians, then make his money on Wallstreet, becomes Batman, and finally is the Vice President.
– jodonald
3. Gary Oldman. Punk rocker to Prime Minister by way of a Presidential assassin, an immortal vampire, a famous composer, a Russian terrorist, a dwarf, and a wizard.

4. Leonardo DiCaprio has a hell of a story.
First, he is a petty thief in Titanic, then steals 4 million in Catch Me If You Can, brings in beer during prohibition as Gatsby, then 200 million in a scam in Wolf of Wall Street.
So..clearly all the same character who is getting better as a criminal as time goes on.

6. Woody Harrelson….kid started out tending bar with a former professional baseball player. A natural athlete himself, he was particularly skilled at 2-on-2 basketball. He exhibited strange personal behaviors, however, which included selling his wife to a millionaire for one night of passion. He dabbled in law enforcement, only to be implicated in the great New York train robbery of '95. Soon after, he and his young bride went on a mass murder spree and had to skip out of the galaxy altogether. After working a spell with the greatest pilot smuggler he'd ever seen, he returned to Earth to start a pornography empire built on the fundamental premise of free speech and expression. Unfortunately, zombies were decimating America at the time, and he needed to put his unique skills and survival instincts into high gear to help himself and his newfound friends. Scientists at the time tried to kill off the zombies with a simian virus, and he was pulled into humanity's last stand against killer apes. In his remarkable life, he helped train a future resistance leader who survived a twisted teenaged battle royale, but things went really off the rails for him when he decided to get into bounty hunting, and took on a psychopath with a pneumatic bolt gun. He dialed back the theatrics, and became a sheriff of a small town in Missouri, before contracting terminal cancer, and ultimately taking his own life.

7. I'm…I'm REALLY curious how Luke Skywalker ends up a supervillain in Gotham.
– default52
8. Dang, so Doctor Strange is actually secretly Sherlock Holmes. Huh.

9. It's gotta be Harrison Ford.
He starts as Han from Star Wars. He tries to settle down with Leia after Return of the Jedi, feels trapped in married life, decides to ghost everyone and lay low on some back world primitive planet (Earth). Assumes the identity of Indiana Jones. Goes on all sorts of adventures while pretending to be some senile old guy's son (sorry Henry Jones Sr.). Father dies, Han starts to settle down from all the adventuring. He's built a pretty sweet life starts to get comfortable but still has all of his charms. Moves on from being an adored archaeology professor, and eventually gets discovered by a political machine that thinks he's incredibly electable. Eventually, Han uses his charm to become President of the United States before kicking those terrorists off his plane.

Happy Birthday, Major Harris
Today we commemorate the birthday of the late, great Major Harris, born February 9, 1947. Major died on November 9, 2012
Virginia native Major Harris was a talented singer who was part of many notable vocal groups, but who is mostly known for one of the most popular songs ever to come out of Philadelphia, the smash ballad "Love Won't Let Me Wait."
The cousin of famous Philly producer/guitarist and Trammps co-founder Norman Harris and the brother of noted songwriter Joe Jefferson ("Mighty Love," "One of a Kind (Love Affair)"), Major Harris performed in Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers after their commercial peak but made his first real mark as a member of the Delfonics, where he stayed a couple years in the early 70s before leaving to embark upon a solo career.
> READ FULL BIOGRAPHY


Three years ago Björk presented the world with Biophilia, a massive multimedia project about the relationships between music, nature and technology. Her grand vision included intricately designed apps for the album's singles, a new type of musical notation, a musical education program for school children and one-of-a-kind instruments designed just for her live performances.
Much of the preparation and performances are captured on two films, now showing together at New York's IFC Theater and opening next week in L.A., Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco and Japan: Bjork: Biophilia Live and When Björk Met Attenborough. The first is a concert film of her last Biophilia show at London's Alexandra Palace in 2013. The latter is a look at the preparation for the show, all framed by interviews with neurologist Oliver Sacks and naturalist David Attenborough. Attenborough and Björk are an unlikely pair, but they find common ground as giddy observers of nature. Björk was fascinated by Attenborough growing up, and the admiration is mutual. "If I'm very tired I don't put on your music," he tells the singer. "I put on your music when I really want to think about something." Both films show that there's still plenty to learn about with Biophilia, but here are five things we picked up.
Björk and Sir David Attenborough actually seem pretty comfortable with each other.
Oliver Sacks demonstrates a powerful connection between music and the brain.
Neurologist and author Oliver Sacks makes a cameo appearance in When Björk Met Attenborough, popping in to discuss music's startling effect on the brain. As Sacks explains, music jolts unused neural pathways into activity, lighting up regions of the brain that we may not frequently access. He demonstrates the implications of this for people suffering from dementia by playing a group of nearly catatonic elderly patients songs from their youth. Instantly, their eyes come alive. They smile, sing, and wave their hands along with the music. As Sacks tells us, the effects from this form of therapy can last even after the music stops playing, suggesting that Björk's fascination with the biology of music is in synch with cutting edge neuroscience.
The Singing Tesla looks the coolest, but the Sharpsicord is likely Biophilia's most precious instrument.
All of Biophilia's insane instruments make an appearance in Björk's concert, including the singing Tesla coil (which really coughs up more of a low, angular belch) and the Gravity Pendulum Harp (a set of software controlled, stringed weights). But the Sharpsicord, which makes a special appearance at the end of the concert, is likely the most difficult to work with. The oversized pin-cylinder harp took maker Henry Dagg five years to design and create, and it's the only one in existence. According to When Björk Met Attenborough, it takes him a full day to program a single minute of music. That's likely why we see Dag asking Björk not to miss her cue: There's no improvising on a two-and-a-half-ton instrument.
Björk is still as punk rock as ever.
Björk says she's moving into the grand legacy projects phase of her career, but that doesn't mean she's lost any of her rebellious edge. One of the encore tracks for is "Declare Independence," the fiery revolutionary chant from her 2007 album Volta. In the past she's dedicated the song to Tibet, Kosovo, and Scotland, and here, she sends the performance to the original country she wrote it for: the Faroe Islands, a tiny archipelago between Norway and Iceland that officially belongs to Denmark. Iceland declared independence from Denmark in 1918, 46 years before Björk's birth, but revolution is still in her blood.


We're lucky to have so many convenient ways to produce the wonderful comfort foods we love, with all the flavors we remember from Grandma's kitchen.
Got all day? Go low & slow with a slow cooker. Treat your family to slow-simmered flavors...fork-tender pot roasts, tummy-warming soups, cheesy side dishes and more.

With an electric pressure cooker, you can cook up all your family's favorite dishes in a fraction of the time...chicken & dumplings, barbecue pulled pork, even down-home green beans that taste like they cooked all day. Anything a slow cooker can do, a pressure cooker can do, and so much more. Make all those other appliances in your kitchen earn their keep too! Your microwave can do more than pop popcorn, like main-dish casseroles, speedy sides and more. Countertop griddles can grill sandwiches, of course, but can also grill a juicy chicken breast to top a hearty salad. Cook chicken fingers and fries to crisp, golden perfection, using a countertop deep fryer. And from your waffle maker, turn out ooey-gooey cheese sandwiches and even warm fresh-baked cookies...who knew?

OTTAWA — Transforming the look of your home to inject a hit of spring doesn't have to be an expensive endeavour; simple tricks such as lightening up textures, adding bright colours, de-cluttering and introducing greenery can change the look of your home without breaking your budget.
The arrival of spring and summer has us dressing and decorating in lighter, brighter colours, but Ottawa interior designer Linda Nolan says making small temporary colour changes is the best way to transition through the seasons.
"Instead of applying the colour on the walls and on the fixed elements like the sofa; work in neutrals and then add pops of colour in area carpets, throw cushions and artwork, so that it's really easy to change (with the seasons)," says Nolan (lindanolaninteriors.com).
In the bedroom, a white duvet cover can act as a base throughout the year, while you alter between dark-coloured wool throw pillows in the winter to brightly coloured light cotton ones in the spring. In the living room, a neutral grey palette with accessories in popular orange, green, turquoise or pink tones is a great way to freshen up your living space or give it a whole new look that's as easy to change as your wardrobe.
Mixing bright colours together with geometric or contemporary floral patterns can give the room the look of a lively garden, bringing the beauty of the outdoors in, says decorator Donna Hargrove (thetbbs.com/donna-hargrove).
While dark, textured wool pillows and blankets made your home warm and cosy throughout the long, cold winter; spring requires a lightening up of decor. Swap dark colours for brights, wool blankets for linen and heavy area rugs for sisal to add an instant breezy, summer beach house feel to your living space.
Clutter goes against the breezy feel you want in spring.
"When people walk into the room, you don't want them to focus on clutter, you want their eye to stop on certain focal points," says Nolan. Knick-knacks, piles of paper or toys get in the way, distracting the eye from the stone fireplace or beautiful piece of artwork that you want to highlight.
Windows can gather a lot of dirt on the outside and dust on the inside over winter. Giving windows a thorough cleaning allows more light to shine through and can instantly make the room look and feel brighter.
Another cost-effective way to brighten up your living space is to lighten up drapery panels. Swapping thick drapery for sheer linens can allow more light to flow into the living space.
"The cost of ready-made drapes is so inexpensive now, on average about $50 a panel," says Nolan. Add a side panel on each end to frame the window and give it dimension.
Nothing says spring like fresh-cut flowers. While planting flowers in a garden or filling empty containers such as wheelbarrows, wagons or baskets can easily spruce up your outdoor space, bringing the outdoors in is a great way to freshen the air in your home and liven up the space.
Grow a herb garden on your windowsill or add fresh-cut flowers to a dining room, coffee or end table. When choosing flowers, Hargrove says to go with the colours that complement the colour scheme of your home.
"(They should be) either complementary or contrasting colours so that they stand out," says Hargrove. Easy-to-maintain plants such as spider plants or philodendrons are not only beautiful; they're also air purifiers and can make your home healthier.
"Coming out of the winter, people are ready to embrace change and they want something new and something brighter," says Hargrove. Moving your furniture around or making some small design changes gives the room a fresh look and feel.


The anchor stores are Sears, Bon-Ton, and JC Pennys. Even the JC Pennys isn't as good as the one in Rockaway Mall. The movie theater is excellent, but everything else is on the way down or just not very interesting. Christopher and Banks didn't honor a coupon it sent me. Hallmark didn't have any Hanukkah cards out the week after Thanksgiving. They said it was too soon even though Hanukkah was the same time as Christmas this year and they had Christmas stuff out since at least October. Again, the movie theater is great, but for shopping I'd rather go to Rockaway Mall or The Crossings.
This is a small mall but it has a variety of shops. It has JC Penney, Bon Ton and Sears as anchor stores. A lot of interesting smaller shops. Interesting kiosks. Would go again.

The track layout for races 6 and 7.
The season finale of the Formula E brings about some changes – that includes the track layout on Berlin Templehof. But what does the layout for races 6 and 7 look like?
You could say, "everything's as usual" when you take a look at the track layout for the first 2 races of the great final race in Berlin. Because it does look familiar – but only on first glance. Yes, it is the track layout of the previous year. But: The driving direction is now clockwise. Meaning: old track, new direction. And new challenges for all drivers.
The track with 10 curves starts out with 2 hairpins, followed by another s-curve right before panning out into a straight stretch. This is where André Lotterer and Neel Jani can prove what the Porsche 99X Electric can do. On this long section of the track, fans can anticipate maximum speed right before the curves 6, 7, 8 and 9 lead to the carousel-like curve number 10, and consequently back toward start and finish line.
The layout of the first doubleheader is a good balance between technical course and high-speed elements. And thus, 2 exciting races can be expected by the fans in front of the screen on the kick-off on August 5 and 6.

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 1 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions. As of 1 September 2018 the WLTP replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 1 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.
Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will, therefore, be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.

Installing Adobe Photoshop and then cracking it is easy and simple. The first step is to download and install the Adobe Photoshop software on your computer. Then, you need to locate the installation.exe file and run it.
Cracking Adobe Photoshop on Mac is even easier than cracking it on Windows. Download the crack on the Mac and then open it. After the crack is applied, you need to restart the computer. After the reboot, Adobe Photoshop should be installed and ready to use. Just remember, cracking is illegal, so avoid it at your own risk!

The one thing that I found confusing and will be one of the hardest things to get used to is the fact that both the Collection and Smart Objects lack the "data" menu for developing the edit. You have to go into the "Expert" tab if you need to retrieve the data to work on the layer. It doesn't make sense that the data with the smart objects are still there, but you can't edit it.
If you're looking for some software that is very simple to use, you should definitely try Photoshop Elements. It's very accessible to newbies and experienced professionals, so it should be your first (and possibly only) choice when you don't know much about image editing yet, and you don't have that much experience already. If you're into Photoshop though, this is something that can't be ignored. I don't really have anything negative to say against this photo editing software, and I like that this version of Photoshop Elements takes advantage of the power of the cloud and automatically saves its progress. Even if it won't save locally, you'll generally be able to recover edits when using it online, or at any time later, through the web app. This feature is a nice addition to the trading up Assistant feature. It's also easy to share edited images once you're all finished editing them.
While this review isn't a comprehensive look at the full line of Adobe products, I thought it would be a good idea to review the Photoshop Line as a whole. I'll attempt to do as much per base version as possible. First, let's start with the obvious: Adobe Photoshop is an industry standard for folks who like to take photographs. They edit them as needed – under a variety of circumstances. They also get a lot of work done using the software. The main reason I opted for the Creative Cloud for this review is not just the fact that you get 3 years of use as a free trial, but that it also means that whenever you want to upgrade to the latest version of Photoshop, you can do it through the cloud. Had the cloud not been available at that time, there were workarounds, notably using the web app.
New features include Camera RAW, Photoshop Mix, Control Surface, and smart tools. Camera RAW lets photos imported into Photoshop is sees what the camera originally saw. You can make use of it and more. Photoshop Mix allows you to take a set of images from a video camera, specialize each photo, and then place them visually within a larger composition. Control Surface is a simple yet powerful way to surface 450 commands directly into your fingertips using the live connection between your Surface and your desktop or workstation. It also offers you a unified keyboard and touch experience with featuring a new keyboard and some fun feedback.
Creative Cloud is a subscription service that provides a full range of creative and business tools to professionals, amateurs, educators, students, and hobbyists. Since its launch in 2008 Adobe Marketing Cloud has grown to enable marketing professionals to execute and optimize creative campaigns across the full spectrum of human communications, from Web to mobile.
Using today's new features, you can experience first-hand the benefits of The New Photoshop CC. Get Ready for a new surface, keyboard, and connection, fast delivery of updates, CS6 business features and so much more. Adobe Photoshop CC makes your entire workflow more intelligent. Fluid for resizing, blending, paths, and more; Liquify filters for powerful retouching; an improved, hand-drawn brush engine; advanced file management and more. Enjoy the moment, create incredible work, and share with friends and family so they can see why you've been teasing. Sign up for the preview here and stay tuned for more updates on Photoshop Camera coming soon!

File format support has become the strongest selling factor because of its ability to edit all the popular image formats. Adobe Photoshop makes it easy to edit photos and documents the way you want. Adobe is the top software company in the world, and it is easy to see why. All you need is a mouse and a computer to create a masterpiece. Adobe Photoshop offers an exciting challenge for beginners and experts. It's a great software with plenty of features and free shipping.
Adobe Photoshop proves to be a great tool because it allows you to easily edit raster files and manipulate them. Most graphic design software works with digital images, and Photoshop is one of the top applications for creating and editing a variety of graphics. This amazing software package is so powerful that it's been used by some of the world's best editors. It's the best software for creating graphics.
Adobe Photoshop is really a multiuser software, that is not intended to be only used by one person, the project team and the product development team at Adobe has also built in the access level. The first layer in the list below are the tools and features that are operated only by one person:
As shown in the above list, Photoshop has a feature for Admins and the team to make basic adjustments, such as changing the white balance, contrast, and the levels. This allows the team to preview the impact of those adjustments on the entire batch of images at once. The image adjustments tool provides a quick way to make adjustments. It also gives an opportunity to correctly preview the result on a single layer in the layered Photoshop document.

Also adding on the app front are the breakthrough features powered by Adobe Sensei AI. Adobe Sensei AI sharing offers an easy way to get feedback on multi-user editing sessions and a faster, more flexible collaborative workflows. Additionally, a browser version of Photoshop embraces the infinite canvas of the web to offer sleek, interactive experiences that are as compelling as other web apps. Finally, iterative workflow improvements include the ability to automatically navigate to the last tracked changes, a selection tool that works when you have a selection box on screen or on the page, a PC and Mac workspace that can be set to the same view, and more.
Designers and other creatives have long relied on images as a powerful way to communicate ideas, influence decisions and lead campaigns. Content creation is crucial to the success of any marketing project. Photoshop helps with that task by enabling photographers and other designers to hone their techniques, as well as presenting compelling content on a variety of channels. This means the Photoshop team is committed to building on these key image properties and is strong in expanding and enhancing these capabilities.
In addition, Adobe Shaping specialises in image enhancement and is focused on photo retouching and compositing. With the introduction of content-aware retouching in Lightroom, users can now take advantage of new ways to remove unwanted objects from images, all in an easy-to-use Lightroom editing interface. Photoshop's Support for 10-Bits also enables retouching to a new level, as it can selectively simulate pixels lost or removed, and now, Bridge can be used to access online shortfalls and download content.
The basic editing tools of Adobe Photoshop are hugely useful. When using Photoshop, it's well worth learning its basics, so you can save time and avoid common mistakes. All images have what we call a 'layer.' This is the standard bit of software jargon that means 'image.'
All images have a layer, which means they can consist of a single color or a combination of colors and shapes. You can add additional layers for more depth and dimension to your images and edit them using the Layers panel, which is on the left side of the image window. We'll talk about this panel later.
The only software that has a JPEG clean-up tool is Adobe Photoshop. This is the least expensive solution for users who want to remove noise in their pictures. In fact, this tool is so powerful, it even enables you to remove artifacts from the most critical areas of the image. The Photoshop image noise removal algorithms are based on extreme learning machine (ELM). Through extreme learning machine (ELM), noise in the image can be removed effectively for free in many ways. Usually, removing all/a certain part/layer of noise can be done manually, but today most users are demanding powerful noise-reducing applications.
Guided presets offer a way to easily deliver a result by training Photoshop or Photoshop Elements to create a particular look. Preset based on the customer's face or eyes are called by Adobe Sensei as we continue to improve the accuracy and delivery time. The technology will be available in Photoshop 2020.

The most major update of this release was the CC edition of Photoshop. It has many features including the most used to convey emotions and moods as well as the RGB channel settings for Grassy greens, blue sky, and so on. In Photoshop CC, it is possible to change or remove the object's background without editing the background layer. Adobe did this to prevent dirtying for the original background JPEG. However, the ability to convert a layer to a selection is not available in Photoshop 2015 and below. It is available only in Photoshop CC.
Photoshop CC 2017 is regarded as a more stable edition of this software. It also includes many new features. Some of the new features include viable selection using the magic wand tool or the features like the ability to apply a filter over a layer or the control of the export quality of a layer. Photographers can also use the basic placement tools like the multi-select tool to place the image and other layers over a background. Adobe has removed the glow effect from the content-aware fill tool. This feature is used to correct an imperfection in the image such as the lighting or shadows that do not align. It has been given in the other edition. Adobe has tried to simplify the timeline and provide more control in the workspace by moving the group and mask options to the layers. It also provides editing tools like Width for Layers and the Layer Control, which is updated with the current version of the software.
Adobe Photoshop's real-time High Sierra update that launched nearly a month ago had changed all that. Photoshop now supports Adobe's Shadow Style Layers, which let you pick a common color from the palette to define the style of your text. There are 125 new text effects to make text more legible in various situations. Even if the New Look 16 does not make your life better, it definitely feels more polished and creative. The bad news is that, with this version of Photoshop, you can no longer create professional images in 16-bit mode. And the latest version of Photoshop CS6 does most top-tier illustrations much more powerfully than its predecessor. Along with substantive enhancements in all of the tools, there are few new features that make the Photoshop CS6 usable and its apps useful to designers.
The new Delete and Fill tool provides a one-click solution for removing and replacing objects in an image, without the time-consuming steps of cropping and manually eliminating the object. The original selection remains, so users can continue editing the rest of the image as if nothing has changed.
"Today, when you need to edit an image from a browser, you can't do it as efficiently and as closely as you can on the desktop," said Matt Buck, senior vice president and general manager, Photoshop, Adobe Systems. "Share for Review makes editing easier than ever for Photoshop users, be they pros or newbies, as they collaborate and can easily shut down the collaboration without leaving the image or app. Users can approve images on their desktop or on the web or mobile, and they can quickly approve comments from a shared timeline. Additionally, we're offering groundbreaking new collaborative editing features and we're working closely with hardware partners like Adobe Creative Cloud and Nvida to provide even more capabilities there, too."
With new features for accessibility, this week Photoshop Elements users will gain the ability to get professional quality results from their mobile devices, even without a desktop. The Photoshop platform is also the first Adobe application to use the Adobe Sensei Autocomplete technology for smart suggestions and predictions as users type. Users can now access an earlier training set and easily create new sets of training data.

Adobe Photoshop is the best choice for anyone working in the fields of photography, film, web design, marketing, layout, apparel, and more. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced editor, you'll learn new and essential skills in just a few hours by becoming a Photoshop Certified Expert.
The ability to use your digital work immediately in other media like websites or mobile devices just got easier. On the new Save to Web format, images and Web fonts can be both stored and downloaded from Adobe Bridge using one action. Until now, these settings have needed separate actions and they were stored in a local database. On Save to Web format, that data is now available in the cloud.
Adobe now offers a free online-application called Photoshop Fix. Even though this app is not based on Photoshop, it still can work in Photoshop (although often not as well). Photoshop Fix has a new feature called Folders. Folders enable you to organize your documents for easy access and navigation. Folders are useful if you use a fast way to get to documents you have created, like the Folders in Bridge, but don't have time to land in a specific location to access.
Adobe announced new features inspired by workflows in mobile apps and websites, including a version of Photoshop that fits on your phone. The new Phone View will let you instantly see your photos on your phone when you're editing them. You can also share them via phone or message, and share posts made from Photoshop on social media as well as other services. There is a new app called Photoshop Elements, a stripped down version of Photoshop that provides choices for a cleaner workflow on a mobile device. It supports apps like Google Photos which lets you view your photos on your phone or tablet.
So where will Photoshop be going? Image-to-3D and 3D-to-2D interfaces abound, with plans to implement these new APIs in Sketchbook Pro and Photoshop. With these in mind, here are some of the ways we can reimagined 3D workflows in Photoshop, at least using current versions and tools.
Adobe has already done a great job with Image-to-3D in Photoshop, where you can apply 3D transforms to works in Photoshop. And this new 3DCrop tool has been added for those final touches in the Image-to-3D workflow.
Adobe has also focused on the 3D-to-2D feature set. With the 3D-to-2D toolset, you can duplicate 3D elements from Photoshop into a 2D environment, and vice-versa. The 3D-to-2D toolset is available in the 2.0 release of Photoshop.
In Photoshop, you can resize, rotate, flip, crop, tweak colors, add shadows, and adjust the overall look of a picture or photo editing. With programs like Photoshop, you can also add effects to pictures and transform images. You can then save these in various formats for use later.
In Photoshop, you can resize, rotate, flip, crop, tweak colors, add shadows, and adjust the overall look of a picture or photo editing. With programs like Photoshop, you can also add effects to pictures and transform images. You can then save these in various formats for use later. Photoshop embeds the image map information, the CSS style sheet information and often the content of PDF documents, making them much easier to use and share with other websites.
Adobe Photoshop has one of the best collections of graphical tools in the industry. It lets you apply effects, filters, and adjustments in a variety ways, automatically or on specific areas of an image. This powerful toolset and the countless tools available in Photoshop make image editing fast, easy, and fun.
Create smart, compelling images and multimedia presentations with Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop makes it easy to create striking images and video effects, moving and still, 3D and 2D, and interactive multimedia presentations. You can use all or parts of these experiences as content for Facebook and other online media.
Adobe Photoshop is feature packed software that also makes creating, editing and printing increasingly simple. It has features that enable you to easily create good-looking pictures that are simple for you to use. It always performs a wide variety of tasks very well.
The features that assist in the creation and implementation of complex, graphical images are varied. Photoshop provides effective tools that make these tasks even simpler. These features include font management, powerful drawing tools and vector graphics tools, powerful adjustment layers, and more.
Combining both work and play, Adobe Photoshop is the simplest and most powerful way to put your best work on display. With a simple user interface that conceptually makes sense, Photoshop allows you to create exciting, professional-looking images that can be viewed via Facebook, social media, or the cloud.

March 30, 2016 by Aude-Marie Alex
Aude-Marie Ackebo '18
Where I'm from, being religious is common. Most people in the Ivory Coast are Christians or Muslims. I only know a few atheists, but in the United States it seems that the amount of my peers who align themselves as being non-religious has significantly grown. I have had countless debates with my gay friends about Catholics and their view on homosexuality. I am a proud Christian Catholic; my religious beliefs made me who I am but not everyone has to share them.
My first year at Northwood, someone affirmed they heard me say that I didn't like lesbians because I am Catholic. I do remember talking about my religion but there was no way I said that I didn't like homosexuals. Why? Because one of my best friends at the time was gay and the other bisexual. Quickly, the rumor about me being homophobic spread around the small school. The fact that I had malaria at the beginning of the year and got to school six months late already made it hard for me to make friends. Add adrenaline-filled high-schoolers to the mix and the result is a friendless new kid.
The misconceptions on religion are immense. I've heard people say that women can't give mass, that all Christians are homophobic, that the bible says gays should be stoned to death, etc. All of these are false but the homophobic part is what hurts me the most. Most of my family is Christian and homophobic. Most of my family is also at least twenty years old. All of my family members from the same generation as me are perplexed by homosexuality but have nothing against it; it's about understanding and accepting. The average African teenager doesn't know anyone gay (or at least publicly) and therefore, they don't have anyone explaining it to them. Since our generation is lazy, most of my Ivorian friends take what's told to them as truth instead of looking up fact; This is where they usually get brainwashed by a homophobic adult.
The PEW research center did a study on the subject and shows that 62 percent of Catholics in America think homosexuality should be accepted. 53 percent of Catholics are also strongly in favor of same sex marriage. Catholic homophobia stereotypes are based off the minority of the population.
The majority of Christians have a peer or are themselves a member of the LGBTQ+ community. Over the last few years the Pope, Francis 1, has encouraged the Catholic Church to welcome LGBTQ+ members. Two years ago, Pope Francis uttered these words, contrasting his predecessors: "If someone is gay and searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" Months earlier, Pope Benedict XVI affirmed that gay marriage was a threat to global peace. The effect that the new pope's opinion had on the church was seen right away. The summer of 2014 was a remarkable period during which a number of high-ranking Catholic leaders signaled that Pope Francis' progressive stance had spread throughout the Catholic world. In May, a top-ranking Italian bishop said that the church should listen to same-sex marriage arguments. A few weeks later, Brazilian Cardinal Cláudio Hummes, said he "didn't know" whether Jesus would oppose gay marriage. In early September, New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan approved the St. Patrick Day Parade Committee's decision to allow a gay group to march in the 2015 parade under their own banner. In the first months of 2015, Pope Francis had several meetings with LGBTQ+ individuals and groups, like a transgender man from Spain who was excluded from his parish community, and gay and transgender prisoners in Naples. The Vatican also gave the VIP treatment to a pro-LGBTQ+ American Catholic group visiting Rome and the Pope met with a gay Paraguayan activist during his recent trip to South America. This proves that the evolution of the Catholic Church is not only happening on a small level – the entire community is slowly changing.
Considering the amount of prejudices the LGBTQ+ community faces, I thought they would be the last ones to judge religious people. However, I do understand that they have been oppressed by religious extremists and other judgemental people. We shouldn't generalize stereotypes to all Catholics. Homophobia is not the only misconception Catholics are vulnerable to, there are also other things like being against abortion and contraception, sex before marriage, women's rights, etc. We might all believe in a God but we are all different human beings, with individual brains that we use to form our own opinions.
I am a Christian Catholic but I am also an ally. I go to Sunday mass before going to the pride parade. I don't have to choose. My relationship with God has nothing to do with my support to the LGBTQ+ community. I can be both, I choose to be both.

Q: Getting static GZIP file via HTTP and auto extracting works only in IE - why? So I am making a request to my server for a static *.gz file like this:
Request URL:https://1.2.3.4:9090/arch/archive.csv.gz
Request Method:GET

I want the file to be automitacally deflated and saved as csv when user tries to access it from browser, so I set the response headers in a filter like this:
    //....

    HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
    HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) response;

    String path = req.getServletPath();

        res.setHeader("Content-Encoding", "gzip");
        res.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain");
        res.setContentType("text/plain; charset=UTF-8");
        String filename = path.substring(path.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, path.lastIndexOf("."));
        res.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
   //....

So after making a get request I see the following response in Chrome Developer tools:
* Response Headers *:
Accept-Ranges:bytes
Content-Disposition:filename=archive.csv
Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Length:342208
Content-Type:application/x-gzip;charset=UTF-8
Date:Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:54:35 GMT
ETag:W/"342208-1389113112000"
Last-Modified:Tue, 07 Jan 2014 16:45:12 GMT
Server:Apache-Coyote/1.1

This works great in Internet Explorer - the file is downloaded and saved as CSV - everything is fine. However when I try to do the same in Chrome/Firefox the file is ineed saved as CSV file but is not decompressed (despite the csv extension the file is actually a GZ archive).
Why does it work this way? How can I make it work under all browsers?

The Yeke Kingdom (also called the Garanganze or Garenganze kingdom) of the Garanganze people in Katanga, DR Congo, was short-lived, existing from about 1856 to 1891 under one king, Msiri, but it became for a while the most powerful state in south-central Africa, controlling a territory of about half a million square kilometres. The Yeke Kingdom also controlled the only trade route across the continent from east to west, since the Kalahari Desert and Lozi Kingdom in the south and the Congo rainforest in the north blocked alternative routes. It achieved this control through natural resources and force of arms—Msiri traded Katanga's copper principally, but also slaves and ivory, for gunpowder and firearms—and by alliances through marriage. The most important alliances were with Portuguese–Angolans in the Benguela area, with Tippu Tip in the north and with Nyamwezi and Swahili traders in the east, and indirectly with the Sultan of Zanzibar who controlled the east coast traders.

Msiri was in fact a Nyamwezi (also known as 'Yeke' or 'Bayeke') from Tabora in Tanzania who got himself appointed as successor to a Wasanga chief west of the Luapula River by defeating the chief's Lunda enemies. Once installed he conquered the neighbouring tribes and expanded the chieftainship into a kingdom.

From its capital at Bunkeya, the Yeke Kingdom took over the western territory of Mwata Kazembe, stopped the southwards expansion of the Luba Empire and subjugated tribes in the southwest, on the trading route to Angola.

When King Leopold II of Belgium was told that the Yeke Kingdom controlled east-west trade and was rich in copper and possibly gold, he sent expeditions to try to obtain a treaty for the kingdom to join his Congo Free State (CFS). Cecil Rhodes also sent expeditions to sign up the kingdom to his British South Africa Company's chartered territories. The 'scramble for Katanga' was won by Leopold's Stairs Expedition, which ended the kingdom by killing Msiri, and took over the territory for the CFS, but with its own administration until it was more closely incorporated into the Belgian Congo.

Captain Stairs, the expedition's leader, installed one of Msiri's adopted sons, Mukanda-Bantu, as his successor but of a vastly reduced area with a radius of only 20 km from Bunkeya, and with the status of a chief. The chieftainship continues to this day under the title Mwata Msiri.

Shopper: Phoebe Law
Date/Time: 8.31.2012, 2:15 p.m.
Store: L'Occitane
Location: 1 Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic City, N.J.
On vacation with her family, 24-year-old student Phoebe Law visited L'Occitane with her grandmother. "I saw a lot of people in the store," says Law, "so I was wondering what all the hype was about." Law and her grandmother left the store without purchasing anything, but 20 minutes later she returned. "This was my first time in L'Occitane and when I tested out the eye cream, I knew I wanted to come back," says Law. "The price was fair, so it was well worth it." Law, who usually uses Clinique skin care, wasn't planning on buying anything else, but when shown some other products she quickly switched gears. "I prefer to see the products in person and try them on," says Law. "Today, I felt a variety of textures and sprayed some of the fragrances. Since I was able to test it all, I was eager to purchase the products I liked best."

Shopper: Bernadette Mercado
Store: The Body Shop
Labor Day weekend brought big savings for 54-year-old Bernadette Mercado. On her way to the beach, Mercado stopped into The Body Shop to restock her favorite Mango Body Butter. An employee explained the retailer's current promotion: four body and/ or hair care items for $30. When Mercado learned her favorite Body Butter wasn't
part of the deal, she quickly opted for some new products recommended by the salesperson. "They always tell you what's good and what's not," said Mercado, "so I figured I'd give her recommendations a try." When paying, Mercado took out her Body Shop Loyalty card. Costing $10, it gives customers 10 percent off all purchases and enables them to earn reward points. Using a $15 credit she had accumulated, Mercado decided to buy her Mango Body Butter, too. "This is my all-time favorite," she said. "I love the way it feels and how it makes my skin look."

Detention without charge, especially when done in secret, is one hallmark of a Police State. It is already admitted to occur in the USA, as part of the "war on terror".
Illegal, arbitrary or extrajudicial detention is the long term detention of individuals by a state which has not made any legal charge against them. Short term detention without charge is standard procedure (for example, of a suspect fleeing the scene of a crime) and nation states used to have strict limits on how long such detentions took place before the individual was either formally charged or released. Most if not all legal jurisdictions still do, although increasingly vaguely exceptions are made for reasons of "national security" of the prevention of "terrorism". Detention without charge, especially when done in secret, is one hallmark of a Police State. It contravenes article 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile."
The Magna Carta was a legal document drawn up in England in the 13th century to codify and limit the power of the monarchy, which over the centuries was widely adopted, especially in English speaking countries. Detainees were entitled to call upon the writ of habeas corpus — literally "you should have the body." To be legal, their detention required that the state show some meaningful evidence to demonstrate that there was a legal justification for their detention.
Increasingly since 9-11, nation states are following the lead of US in rescinding (de facto or de jure) the precedent of Habeas Corpus. Using the pretext of "national security" in the face of a generally undefined terrorist threat, more and more countries are rountinely subjecting individuals to arbitrary arrest or detention without any evidence that they have committed a crime.
The Chinese government has illegally detained perhaps hundreds of thousands of followers of Falun Gong in its ongoing effort to eradicate the group which it claims "jeopardizes social stability".
The United States admits to use of indefinite detention without trial - known under various euphemisms as "internment", "civil commitment", "preventive detention" or "administrative detention", often of the mentally ill or of those alleged to be a danger to national security. Clandestine detention is ongoing, though harder to document at CIA black sites. The Guantanamo Bay detention camp has become a high profile symbol of arbitrary arrest and torture, and so Barack Obama's 2011 signing of the NDAA, which effectively blocks its closure was an important signal of what could be expected from his presidency.
"As a special advocate, you are able to see and hear both the 'open' and 'closed' evidence. But often, the Government witness will refuse to answer particular questions in open court, and the issue will have to be pursued by the special advocate in a closed hearing. But, after seeing the closed material, I am prohibited from speaking to my client. So I will never know if he had an alibi or an innocent explanation and nor will the court".
Canadian Minister's Security Certificates are a means of detaining and deporting foreign nationals from Canada. The government is supposed to have "reasonable grounds" and the process is subject to limited legal review. In 2002, the Supreme Court of Canada upheld this process as constitutional, ruling that the provisions of the security certificate process do not violate Section Seven of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It further specified that the Immigration Act generally does not permit deportation of people to a countries where they will likely be tortured, although it ruled that deportation to such countries was justified in certain (unspecified) "exceptional circumstances".

Festival seeks local young musician or band to join 29 act musical line-up
JOM Micro Music Festival in Brockwell Park this autumn is seeking a young musician or band to join a line-up of 29 young musical acts. The festival is a celebration of young musicians from open mic events and youth music organisations.
Festival organiser Andy Gray from JOM says, "We are looking for someone (or group) brave enough to get up on stage and present themselves to an audience of 500 and perform 1 song. They do not have to be experienced as the line-up is about showcasing a variety of performances – they just have to be between 4 and 17 years old."
"They will get the VIP treatment – Two VIP guest passes per perfomer, a VIP tent with complimentary refreshments, two performer assistants, superb festival quality sound (the best) – and secure a place in Brockwell Park musical history alongside Erykah Badu, Lilly Allen, Elvis Costello, Four Tet, The Stranglers, Chaka Khan, Madness, The Damned, The Beat, Jamelia and Bananarama who have all previously performed in the park."
"The 29 other young acts are already booked. We've left one performance slot open for anyone who has not yet heard about the festival."
According to JOM, the large line-up of 30 acts helps secure a large, family-friendly audience of supporters. The sound engineer is one of the best in the country and the sound is Grade A festival quality. The stage includes a keyboard, full drum kit, array of guitar amps, vocal and accoustic mics and monitor speakers.
This is the second year for JOM Micro Music Festival in Brockwell Park. It is organised by a community of local parents (JOM) and supported by Brockwell Park Community Partners. Their formatting is designed to encourage young performance by making young performers feel as special as possible. JOM also organise Herne Hill's Junior Open Mic hosted at Off The Cuff Music Bar which has grown into the largest Open Mic for young performers in the country.
Parents who's children are interested in performing should contact Andy Gray on info.jomfest@gmail.com. The festival is free to attend but voluntary donations to BPCP are encouraged.

New Taipei City Art Meseum | Museum used to be a one-sided projector where viewers can only remain passive receiving information. However, the relationship of Museums and viewers has changed dramatically in the past few decades where the two can now exchange conversations through different kind of medium.
We need a change in museum design to reflect not only present condition but also look beyond to the future. We propose a new way of experiencing museum which can engage people just like taking a stroll under a beautiful day in a wonderful vacation island where every turn at the end of alleyway reveals yet another pleasant surprise. We propose a street-like tube structure with plazas and squares, steps and ramps. We believe to appreciate Art is to experience it with different perspective and angles. We believe in double or triple programing of space. We wanted to design a museum where it is not only a place to display, but to be lived. Therefore by creating a street, it will open up opportunities to be connecting to the urban fabrics both inside out and outside in. The display of art will no longer be one way directed, but two-way traffic. This museum will be a double sided, double programmed and open-ended building with full of potential.


Filming a promotional video is a great marketing idea for a small business. This video can be uploaded to social media, and embedded on your website. It's a great way of telling consumers more about your company, and luring them in.
The equipment you use to film your promo video is extremely important. You can't get away with using your mobile phone to get all the filming done. Sure, some phones have HD video recording, but, it's not the same as a proper filming device. You need something that shoots in the highest quality possible, as well as some additional bits and bobs too. You'll need a tripod to keep the camera still, so it's not shaking all over the place. The quality of your video is of the utmost importance. It's so easy to notice when a promo video is filmed in good quality or not. Bad quality ruins the viewing experience and makes your company look cheap and unprofessional.
Just like a blockbuster movie, a promo video has to find a suitable location. If you're filming a promo video in the alleyway outside your office, it's not going to look good. There are loads of great film locations you can find if you do your research. Pick one that's suitable for what you're filming. Trust me, the location makes a huge difference, and people notice the high production value when you're in a good place. It helps take your video from amateur to professional.
How many promotional videos have you seen when the business owner is acting? I see it all the time and nine times out of ten it's cringeworthy! If you can't act, then don't bother trying to act. It will just look unnatural, and the whole video will feel bad. Your words have to flow properly like you're having a casual conversation. When you're given a script, there's a tendency to speak more robotically if you can't act. You're trying so hard to remember your lines, it looks bad. So, have a rethink of how you want to do things. Don't include yourself or anyone that can't act and doesn't look natural on camera. Bring in some actors to do the job for you, and make your video more professional and refined.
Once you've filmed your video, you have to edit it. This means getting some professional software to get the job done. Do not, I repeat, do not use Windows Movie Maker. That isn't professional, and you won't be able to get a good job done. If you don't know how to edit videos, then get someone in to help with this process. Editing is crucial as it helps make the video flow from scene to scene.
Bear all of this in mind when you're shooting your promo video. Don't do any of these things, or you will ruin the entire video.

Justice Clarence Thomas Speaks Out on Cory Booker's Confirmation Hearing Stunt
By Kevin Daley
Published September 13, 2018 at 3:01am
Justice Clarence Thomas needled Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey for his conduct during Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings, specifically Booker's self-described "Spartacus moment" when he released purportedly confidential documents.
The justice's remarks, which were made at a Federalist Society conference in Fort Worth, Texas, on Saturday, came as Thomas explained that the high court maintains its legitimacy with the public by doing its business with honor and decency.
"If we could use that word about more people who are in public life, people who actually ask the questions at confirmation hearings instead of Spartacus," he said. When the audience interrupted with laughter and applause, Thomas said, "Hey, look, '300,'" referring to the 2006 film about the Battle of Thermopylae.
"But at any rate," he continued, "if we could use the word 'honorable' more often, think about the difference it will make."
"If you can't debate hard issues honestly, with honor, with integrity, how do we keep a civil society?" Thomas added.
As Kavanaugh's second day of questioning began Thursday, Booker announced that he had released confidential documents relating to Kavanaugh's work on affirmative action and racial profiling in the George W. Bush White House.Set featured image
