Spin Rate Part II: Spin Axis & Useful Spin
Pitch Design
By MICHAEL O'CONNELL 13
Building on Part One of this series we'll be looking at how spin rate actually causes pitches to move, and what we can do to affect this.
Review of Spin Rate: What we Know Now
In our previous article we talked about the Magnus effect which, as a result of the backspin a thrown ball has, generates lift. With a higher spin rate this force is larger, leading to the hitter's perception of the "rising fastball." Conversely, a low spin rate fastball has a smaller Magnus effect, and is thus a sinking fastball.

We know that higher spin rate fastballs lead to more swinging strikes. We know that we can affect a pitcher's spin rate by throwing a splitter or a knuckleball. We know that spin rate and velocity are generally linearly related, and that a pitcher's Bauer Unit (spin rate (RPM) / pitch velocity (MPH)) is constant for any pitch velocity.
There's a lot we do not know, but the rest of this post will attempt to fill in more of the gaps.
Spin Axis
When describing spin axis in part one, we made the assumption that four seam fastballs are thrown with a perfect backspin, but this is never actually true.
Pitchers rarely (if ever) throw over the top with true backspin. The majority of pitches are thrown at an angle closer to 30-45 degrees which may result in natural cut or run. This picture below does a great job a representing that.
From: How baseball spin influences the performance of a pitcher: Nagami et al. (Open Access)
The left side of the picture shows the release angle of this group of pitchers is closer to 30-45 degrees. The picture on the right (from an overhead view) shows how the ball is redirected to the plate. Remember each pitcher's arm moves closer to the shape of an oval and the release it a tangent to the target. The ball also will not often be lined up directly with home plate, because of positioning on the rubber, but often at an angle.
Recall that the Magnus effect is perpendicular to the spin axis of the ball. As the figure above shows, fastballs rarely spin perfectly end over end, meaning that the Magnus effect is rarely pointing perfectly upwards. Due to the fact that the ball is on a slight tilt, the Magnus effect acts on the ball at an angle, adding a slight horizontal force. The spin axis orientation at an angle is going to cause more side spin and less backspin, causing the ball to tail and possibly cause sink.
Professor Alan Nathan expand on some of these idea's on an interview with him on the physics of pitching.
The image below shows the Magnus effect for a left-handed 4-seam and 2-seam fastball (or a right-handed cutter). The 4-seam fastball, as expected, has a perfectly vertical spin axis. The 2-seam fastball's axis, however, points towards 11 o'clock, meaning that the Magnus force points in this direction, giving the ball a horizontal component of force that is pointed towards 1st base. This means the pitch has arm-side run for a lefty. For a right-handed 2-seamer (or left-handed cutter), the force is towards third base.

This ideal was expanded on further in the paper Factors Determining the Spin Axis of a Pitched Fastball in Baseball T Jinji (Open Access).
Essentially the spin axis of each pitch is going to be significantly correlated with the orientation of the hands and fingers just before and at ball release.
This also make intuitive sense when also thinking about pitcher's arm angles.
Changing spin axis is possible, but it might be more difficult than you think. Body control, and even more specifically finger control, is extremely difficult at the high speeds that pitches are thrown. Nevertheless, it is a key component of understanding how pitches move, and how they can be improved.
Also worth noting is the importance of a stable spin axis. A stable spin axis means that the seams of the ball rotate uniformly as the ball travels through the air. A stable spin axis results in not only more break, but more consistent break which can be easier to control.
Spin Axis of Various Pitches
The gifs below show various pitches being thrown by a pitching machine (on the left) and a pitcher (on the right).
Fastball:
As explained above, a fastball has pure backspin which results in a vertical Magnus force which negates some of the effect of gravity. In reality, however, most fastballs are thrown with some amount of tilt.
Although the pitching machine pitches the ball on an unstable spin axis (notice how the ball appears to wobble), the backspin can be clearly seen in both gifs.
Slider:
Ideally, a slider has a much more horizontal spin axis than a cutter/ 2-seam, which results in the Magnus force pointing more horizontal than vertical. This results in an increase in lateral break as well as vertical break due to the decrease in lift.
As can be seen above, the pitching machine slider has a noticeably different spin axis than the pitcher's slider. In reality, throwing a true slider is nearly impossible, and almost all sliders have some form of gyrospin attached to them. This is what hitters see when they talk about the "dot" on a slider. More on this later.
edit 11/3/2018: the 'dot' on a slider is also relative to a pitcher's grip
Curveball:
A perfect 12-6 curveball spins end-over-end, or exactly the opposite as a true 4-seam fastball. This results in a Magnus force in the opposite direction as a fastball: downward. This gives curveballs their signature downward movement.
As with the slider, a perfect curveball is virtually impossible, and most non-pitching machine curveballs have some sort of tilt (not perfectly 12-6) as well as some gyroscopic spin. That being said, curveballs generally have proportionally much lower gyroscopic spin sliders, as can be seen above.
Splitter:
Splitters are thrown on basically the same axis as a 4 or 2-seam fastball, just with a greatly reduced spin. As a result, the Magnus effect is much smaller, meaning the gravitational force has a stronger net pull downward on the ball.
Naturally, It is much easier for athletes to throw a fastball than it is a curveball or slider, thus the pitching machine and the human splitter are rather similar. The main observation here is that the splitter spins noticeably slower than the fastball. The only noticeable difference between these two pitches is that the spin axis are slightly different.
4-Seam vs. 2-Seam
Beyond arm angle or release point, seam orientation has some effect on movement as well.
In order to more clearly illustrate the effect of seam orientations, let us first consider a dimpled golf ball. Smooth air flows around the ball and leaves a turbulent wake behind the ball, otherwise known as drag, which slows down the ball. A dimpled ball leaves a smaller wake due to the fact that the flowing air can "stick" to the ball for a longer period of time due to the creation of a turbulent boundary layer. This means less drag on the ball, and thus the ball travels further. The effect can be seen in the image below.
Airflow around a smooth and dimpled golf ball, source
Now let us consider again the Magnus effect on the golf ball, and recall how the spinning ball redirects air downward. Knowing that the dimpled golf ball redirects more air than the smooth ball, it can be shown that the dimpled ball will have a greater Magnus effect, and thus greater lift, than the smooth ball. A dimpled ball means turbulent flow, which means a stronger Magnus effect.
This brings us back to baseball and try to make the connection from dimples to seams.
The difference between a 4-seam fastball and a 2-seam fastball is pretty easy to understand. The 4-seam fastball is thrown with an orientation that results in all four seams rotate uniformly into the oncoming air. A 2-seam fastball rotates such that only two of the seams encounter the airflow. This can be seen below.
Left: Four Seam Spin Axis / Right: Two Seam Spin Axis
Similar to the effect that the dimples has on a golf ball, the seams on a baseball create turbulence. With the 4-seam fastball, the seams can effectively grab the air and generate a greater Magnus force. The 2-seam fastball, however, has a large smooth section. This leads to a weaker boundary layer for that section of the ball, and thus a weaker Magnus force.
For a "rising" fastball, this means that the 4-seam grip has more rise (or less drop) than the 2-seam grip. For a 2-seamer or cutter, the effect is a bit more complex. A two-seam gripped "sinker" would have more depth due to the weaker Magnus force, but less lateral movement than the same pitch thrown with a 4-seam grip.
Ultimately it is up to the pitcher to decide which grip optimally fits into their arsenal.
Useful Spin
Remember how we mentioned gyrospin above? As it turns out, all spin is not alike and not all spin helps movement. That is to say that it is really impossible to tell how good a pitch is just by the spin rate that TrackMan spits out.
But don't go throwing out your $30,000 black box just yet.
As described by Dr. Alan Nathan in his article Determining the 3D Spin Axis from TrackMan Data (it's a very dense read), a baseball has two primary components of spin: transverse spin and parallel spin, or gyrospin.
Dr. Nathan notes that the Magnus force is only sensitive to the transverse spin, which travels perpendicular to the direction of the velocity of the ball (think perfect 4-seam axis). On the other hand, the gyrospin component, spinning like a football or bullet from a rifle, does not contribute to the Magnus force at all. An example of a gyroball is shown below.
To illustrate what this means in a practical sense, let's look at 2 imaginary pitchers: Pitcher A and Pitcher B. The spin rate and true spin rate (transverse spin rate) are shown in a table below.
Knowing that transverse spin is the only component of spin that affects the Magnus force, we can assume that Pitcher A gets more break on his curveball, despite Pitcher B having a higher spin rate.
So how do we find the transverse spin, if TrackMan only gives us the raw spin rate?
In his paper mentioned above, Dr. Nathan provides some very complicated and complex calculations to calculate the transverse spin based on the velocity data given by TrackMan, but these calculations include a +/- 500 rpm RMS error. This means that these calculated spin rate values have far too much variation to have any real practical value.
Enter Rapsodo.
If you read our previous TrackMan vs Rapsodo validation article, you'll have some idea of how Rapsodo works, and it's potential uses going forward. In short, it is portable, smaller, and cheaper than the TrackMan, and has the ability to define the transverse spin axis, what it calls "True Spin.".
Rapsodo uses optical tracking technology, while TrackMan uses radar, and can see the different axes of spin that a baseball may have. Rapsodo finds these three spin axes relative to the ball and converts them to create true spin, saving us from having to reinvent physics, and providing pitchers with a better tool to more effectively judge their pitches.
The true spin is going to relate highly to how much a pitch actually moves, whereas gyrospin does not affect movement.
Perhaps a pitcher's slider has a high total spin rate, but spins purely gyroscopically like a washing machine. The spin rate values provided by tools like TrackMan are just not detailed enough to quantify the true value of a pitch. It may work as a general guide but won't be an accurate measure for movement efficiency. Having a stable spin axis and high useful/true spin are the most vital pieces to a pitcher's effectiveness.
There is a good amount we have learned about spin rate. We know what effects the spin axes of a ball are, and how, in theory, the pitch should break. We know the difference between a 4-seam thrown pitch and a 2-seam pitch. We know that pitch break is only due to transverse spin, or true spin which is perpendicular the the pitch axis. And with this information we can better inform our pitchers and more effectively help them improve their pitches.
But there is a lot we don't know. We don't know how to increase a pitcher's spin rate. We don't know what factors change spin rate (besides splitters), be it grip, limb length, hand size, mechanics, etc. We don't objectively know how to change a pitcher's spin axis. We have just become able to find the transverse spin axis, but we still don't know how much a pitch will break given this.
We are, however, not afraid to admit that we don't know everything. There's no magic secret to spin rate, and there's no magic secret to pitching. All we can do is give our athletes the access to the best resources and tools to throw harder and pitch better, while providing them with the best support and information we can offer.

Thanks for sharing this work with us.
I don't if in the US you saw the samething but in France ball from left-handed pitcher move more than right handed. For a ball thow by a RHP has a straight trajectory wheras a ball thorw by a LHP has a little bit of down or latelal movement as two-seam Fb even if they throw a for seam.
Do you know why?
Can't say exactly why but there's been some evidence of possible genetic differences between left- and right- handed pitchers.
It very well could be related to that, otherwise we aren't really sure!
What Else You'll Need Besides Spin Rate | FanGraphs Baseball
[…] bit of context comes from the concept of useful spin. We report total spin, but that's just the spin imparted on the ball. Total spin. But spin […]
Ricky Garon
If the slider spin creates a "dot" when looking from the batter's view, then it must be "gyro rotation" which has no Magnus effect. I'm confused!
Not perfectly gyro though. A batters eyes are positioned above the path of a (well positioned) slider. The batter is looking down slightly toward the oncoming pitch. So the slider is spinning slightly "tilted" from a gyroscopic spin position and the "dot" which the batter sees is slightly higher up the front of the ball than it would be if spinning gyroscopically.
I want to make sure I understand the slider. An ideal slider would have perfectly horizontal spin diron cation and a completely vertical spin axis, correct?
What We (and the M's) Mean When We Talk About Spin Rates | U.S.S. Mariner
[…] and what they call "useful" spin – another way to frame spin efficiency – see this article at Driveline Baseball from Michael O'Connell. It goes into great detail about the differences between pitch types […]
Darryl Barnes
So, to simplify this down, if a hitting sees a "dot" on a slider it is less effective (less break) than a more "slurvy" slider. In other words, you don't really want sliders with a "dot". "Dot" means too much gyroscopic spin.
MICHAEL O'CONNELL
Not exactly, there are a couple things here.
Seeing a 'dot' or not will also depend on the grip so it's hard to use that as a reliable measure.
If you were designing a pitch in a vacuum then having a gyroscopic slider (lower spin efficiency) would be good. The less/no break comes from the way pitch movement is measured, a hitter will still see the ball move.
Whether a gyroscopic slider is good or not depends on the other pitches you throw and how they fit together. So some athletes may do better with a more slurvy slider and others will do better with a more gyroscopic slider.
Zak W
Perfectly gyroscopic spin would not produce a "dot." It would look more like a circle. This is what hitters refer to as the "cement mixer" slider. It does not break, and typically gets hit a long way.
A tighter dot would be an illusion produced by the four seams of the baseball overlapping as they interrupt the area of this circle. Not exactly, but for thought exercise purposes: the tighter the dot, the more transverse spin on the slider.
Take a look at the slider and gyro gifs above, and imagine that everywhere a seam interrupts the surface of the ball gets colored dark. Focusing on the remaining white area will allow you to see the difference between the "dot" slider with useful movement and the "cement mixer" gyro that sits on a tee.
On a four seam Fastball do the seams of horse shoe go towards the pitchers ring finger? Does this affect the movement of the ball?
Jose- Yes, you are right. Typically, pitchers will have the seams towards the ring finger. Switching it around usually does not do much. If anything, it might alter the spin profile (efficiency or rate) but not in a good way.

This visualization is indicated with a green icon on the top of the screen, by clicking it (it becomes red) it restores the visualization with the orthogonal projection.
For Intermac and Macotec numerical controls it has been added the possibility, with right click of the mouse on cutoffs, to balance the trim in an automatic way, making the trim and the edge equals, in Y(trimY and borderY) if the transversals are vertical, in X (trimX and borderX) if the transversals are horizontal.
It is now possible to define a description of the project with a right click on the name of the project in the Project view.
This can be used for particular goals (printings, export, Lisec Line Server exit, etc.) and it will be displayed near the project's name.
New management for some postprocessor with languages that used non-ascii characters with a selection combo box in Configuration – General.
This combo presents options like "Disabled" (manage only standard ascii characters) , "Automatic"(country code based on operating system), and a list of selectable languages names, with code and description. It is also possible to insert only one numerical code that is different from the ones in the list.
Definition of the plastic thickness (to be take in count for bender output and for the placement on racks) in PVB.INI, to calculate correctly the glass thickness in case of internally laminated glass using, for the use in the racks management and for the bender output.

It is now managed the label printing by package, with the possibility to define the printing on the last label of each size and to print all the label if the piece's quantity is less than the quantity of the package.
Shapes management with diagonal cuts through, either from shape (generic or parametric) and from pieces with definition of diagonal cuts. Each shape or piece with diagonal cuts are memorized in a "shp" file, in which only the diagonal cuts are stored. A configuration parameters defines if the shape is to be cut at the piece exit or at the end of the job (project or family).
The shapes that can not be managed for cutting on laminated machine are displayed with red colour.
Integration of the Perfect Stat module, from production's logs coming from Perfect NC and Perfect TV modules, that drive Macotec monolithic and laminated cutting machines.
Generation from Perfec NC of two CSV files stored on REPORT subdirectory of Perfect Cut installation path. The first one stores the cut sheets with corresponding start and finish times, duration, waste and the second one contains the list of cut pieces and corresponding info.
Added the display of the time to finish the current sheet, also considering the speed set by operator, in seconds and percent, depending of the cutting step inside the layout, as read from NC.
Management of the load flag of the park sheet and the size to move back, in the case of park of the remaining sheet, for GFP laminated cutting machine with Sipro M8 NC.

Contact center agents are responsible for creating a good first impression every time they pick up the phone. That means it's worth keeping a heavily staffed, well-paid contact center. Still, those calls cost time and money.
There are many reasons a customer may choose to call your contact center. Fortunately, there are a few options to reduce call volume and let agents focus on the most important matters. Here are four common customer complaints and you can use SMS to resolve them.


If you need a reminder of how our Extreme Compak Competition works then click this link.
It was a quiet afternoon but a few crack shots turned out for the first week of Extreme Compak. We saw a wet start to the afternoon which cleared for the evening until a hailstorm at 8pm sent shooters running to the clubhouse for cover.
Well done to Dean O'Cann who, after three rounds of Compak, straighted the first two and, although he missed making it a hat trick he still hit 67 straight. Well done also to Aaron Harvey for his straight on the Compak.
We held our first Extreme Compak qualifier and were delighted to see Dave Gooding qualify multiple times for the Grand Final Extreme Compak. Well done Dave. Our other qualifier was Aaron Harvey, who qualified twice. Keep going Aaron, you are on your way. Keep checking our running list of qualifiers which will be updated each week.
Thank you to the Young Farmers who came out to shoot with us. It was great to see so many young people taking an interest in the sport. We would love to see you all again soon.

Wesson Builds Momentum in Bid for County Supervisor with Democratic Party Endorsement
Published on Thursday, 09 January 2020 13:15
Written by LAWT News Service
LAWT News Service
Los Angeles City Councilman Herb Wesson continues to build momentum in his race to become the next Los Angeles County District 2 Supervisor, recently picking up the endorsement of the Los Angeles County Democratic Party (LACDP) and several other local Democratic clubs.
"For decades, Herb has been demonstrating his progressive bonafides and standing up for the working people of LA County," said Mark Gonzalez, chair of the LACDP. "The LACDP is focused on electing candidates who are best suited to lead Los Angeles to overcome the most pressing issues of the day, like climate change, gender & racial inequity, and homelessness, and there is no candidate better prepared than Herb Wesson to take on these challenges. His leadership and experience will be an incredible asset for LA County on the Board of Supervisors."
To earn the endorsement of the LACDP, Wesson had to receive more than 60 percent of the votes of the nearly 200 delegates made up of grassroots activists and party leaders that determine which candidates the party will support. Wesson is running for the seat in a crowded field of candidates that includes State Senator Holly Mitchell and former Councilwoman Jan Perry, making the 60 percent threshold no easy task.
But Wesson has worked for months on getting his platform out to voters throughout the 2nd district and to Democratic party leaders: that with his decades of leadership as a former leader of the California State Assembly and president of the Los Angeles City Council and with his well-thought-out policy plans on the toughest issues facing Los Angeles, he is the kind of leader the district needs at this critical moment in time. His work paid off, and he received more than the 60 percent of the vote total needed to win the endorsement, representing a real mandate of support from the Democratic party for Wesson and a telling sign of his front-runner status to succeed current Supervisor Mark-Ridley Thomas at the end of 2020.
"The Democratic party's values are my values, and to have their support and confidence in me to confront the complex challenges we face in L.A. is a true honor," said Wesson. "I look forward to continuing our work together to overcome homelessness and keep families in their homes, take care of our youth and seniors, and make sure our communities are healthy, climate-resilient, and growing economically."
In addition to the nod of approval from the LACDP, Wesson also recently picked up endorsements from the Los Angeles County Young Democrats, the Stonewall Young Democrats, and the Southern California Armenian Democrats, a diverse group of grassroots Democratic clubs that underscore his broad base of support throughout Los Angeles County.
These Democratic Party endorsements further bolster Wesson's impressive support among working families in his bid to become the next District 2 Supervisor. He is endorsed by more than 100 local labor unions throughout the county, including the highly coveted Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, and by the majority of his fellow elected officials serving in the state legislature, who represent the 2nd district and in local governments across every city in the District.
The Second District election will be on the March 3, 2020 ballot. Vote by mail ballots will be reaching voters during the first weeks of February.

Lucia's story
Like many nine-year-olds around the world, Lucia had a zest for life -- but that all changed in 2015 with a cancer diagnosis. After complaining of headaches and pains in her legs, Lucia's mother, Maria, took her on a five-hour journey to Hospital de la Niñez Oaxaqueña (HNO). Following an initial examination, medical staff diagnosed Lucia with growing pains. A young child who was tall for her age, Lucia returned home, but her condition continued to worsen.
Over the following three months, Lucia and Maria made several trips back and forth to the hospital, which came at a great expense to the family. A determined mother, Maria could sense her daughter was suffering from more than growing pains. A blood test eventually showed Lucia had developed the most common form of childhood cancer; acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
An early diagnosis could have saved Lucia from ongoing pain and saved her family from being pushed further into poverty through expensive travel and drug costs. Because Lucia and María have to journey several hours from their home village to the hospital, they stay at a family hostel at HNO. With the family having to borrow money to pay for antibiotics, the family hostel is a vital part of the hospital's infrastructure. World Child Cancer trains healthcare workers in developing countries to recognize the early warning sign of childhood cancer by forming twinning partnerships with healthcare professionals in the developed world. Just $100 could have paid for Lucia to receive an accurate diagnosis.
Juan's story
Juan is a wonderful young boy who's face lights up when he has his favourite minion by his side. However, this young boy's smile was missing when he developed a high fever which caused his mother to worry.

Danish queen raps radical Islam
Islam Friday April 15, 2005 Religion News Blog
Queen Margrethe of Denmark has spoken out against radical Islam and called on Muslim immigrants in the country to improve their Danish language skills.
The queen, quoted in a new authorised biography, said people had to take the "challenge" of Islam seriously.
"We have let this issue float around for too long, because we are tolerant and rather lazy," she said.
The queen said Muslims should learn Danish properly, so they would not feel excluded from society.
Limits to tolerance
In the book Margrethe, written by journalist Annelise Bistrup, the queen is quoted as voicing disapproval of "these people for whom religion is their entire life".
Calling for opposition to radical Islam, she said: "We have to run the risk of being labelled in an unflattering way, because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance."
More than 400,000 of Denmark's 5.4 million inhabitants are immigrants, but only about 150,000 are Muslims, amounting to 3% of the population.
However, that still makes them the second-largest religious group in Denmark behind the Lutheran-Evangelical Church, of which the queen is supreme governor and to which 85% of the population belong.
The government has implemented a series of measures in recent years aimed at curbing immigration, which include making it harder for people to bring in foreign spouses or gain asylum in Denmark.
As in France, the issue of Islamic headgear for women has caused controversy.
In January, Denmark's Supreme Court ruled that a supermarket chain had the right to fire a young Muslim woman for wearing an Islamic headscarf to work.

Interpretive Summary: Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD), a fatal neurodegenerative disease that occurs in farmed and wild cervids (deer and elk) of North America, is a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). TSEs are caused by infectious proteins called prions that are resistant to various methods of decontamination and environmental degradation. Cattle could be exposed to chronic wasting disease (CWD) by contact with infected farmed or free-ranging cervids. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential transmission of CWD from elk to cattle after intracranial inoculation, the most direct route to test the potential of a host to replicate an isolate of the prion agent. This study reports that only 2 of 14 calves inoculated with CWD from elk had clinical signs or evidence of abnormal prion protein accumulation. These results suggest that cattle are unlikely to be susceptible to CWD if inoculated by a more natural route. This information could have an impact on regulatory officials developing plans to reduce or eliminate TSEs and farmers with concerns about ranging cattle on areas where CWD may be present.
Technical Abstract: Cattle could be exposed to the agent of chronic wasting disease (CWD) through contact with infected farmed or free-ranging cervids or exposure to contaminated premises. The purpose of this study was to assess the potential for CWD derived from elk to transmit to cattle after intracranial inoculation. Calves (n=14) were inoculated with brain homogenate derived from elk with CWD to determine the potential for transmission and define the clinicopathologic features of disease. Cattle were necropsied if clinical signs occurred or at the termination of experiment (49 months post-inoculation (MPI)). Clinical signs of poor appetite, weight loss, circling, and bruxism occurred in two cattle (14%) at 16 and 17 MPI, respectively. Accumulation of abnormal prion protein (PrP**Sc) in these cattle was confined to the central nervous system with the most prominent immunoreactivity in midbrain, brainstem, and hippocampus with lesser immunoreactivity in the cervical spinal cord. The rate of transmission was lower than in cattle inoculated with CWD derived from mule deer (38%) or white-tailed deer (86%). Additional studies are required to fully assess the potential for cattle to develop CWD through a more natural route of exposure, but a low rate of transmission after intracranial inoculation suggests that risk of transmission through other routes is low. A critical finding here is that if CWD did transmit to exposed cattle, currently used diagnostic techniques would detect and differentiate it from other prion diseases in cattle based on absence of spongiform change, distinct pattern of PrP**Sc deposition, and unique molecular profile.

Ulrich Schamoni (1997) in Berlin
All Pictures (19)
Ulrich Schamoni was born in Berlin on November 9, 1939 to a filmmakers couple. His mother Maria was a screenwriter, his father, Dr. Victor Schamoni, was a film scholar, who was the first in Germany to write a doctoral thesis on film ("Das Lichtspiel, Möglichkeiten des absoluten Films", 1926). He also worked as director, producer and distributor (Fama-Film in Berlin). In 1942, the father was killed in WWII. A year later, his widow and four sons, Victor, Jr., Peter, Thomas, and Ulrich were bombed out in Berlin and evacuated to East Prussia. In 1944, Maria returned with her four children to Westphalia where she and her husband originally came from. They went to live in Werl and later in Münster.
Dropping out of school before graduation, Ulrich Schamoni relocated to Munich in order to start a film career. He attended acting school and worked as an assistant director for renowned filmmakers like Wilhelm Dieterle.
At the age of 20, Schamoni completed his first novel "Dein Sohn lässt grüßen" in which he addressed connections between Catholicism, corruption and the Nazi past. Yet shortly after its publication, the book was deemed to be harmful to minors and could only be sold under the counter.
In 1965, Ulrich Schamoni made his first short: the documentary "Hollywood in Deblatschka Pescara" takes an ironic look at the shooting of the British-German-Yugoslavian large-scale production "Dschingis Khan" – and went on to win the German Film Award and the main prize at the Westdeutschen Kurzfilmtage in Oberhausen. The DoP was no other than Jost Vacano. The same year, Schamoni also made his feature film debut without relying on any public funding: "Es" ("It") tells the story of a young unmarried couple and is regarded as one of the defining works of New German Cinema due to its playful, improvisational style and socio-critical undertones. Loved by audiences and critics alike, "Es" turned out to be a huge success. In 1966, it won a total of five German Film Awards, including Best Direction, Best Actress (Sabine Sinjen), Best Cinematography (Gérard Vandenberg), Best Newcomer (Bruno Dietrich), and the silver award in the category Best Feature Film. The film was also submitted as the official West German contribution to the competition in Cannes and the Academy Awards.
Schamoni's follow-up "Alle Jahre wieder" also won three German Film Awards, including Best Direction, as well as the Silver Bear at the 1967 Berlin IFF. The following year, he made the satire "Quartett im Bett". The film starred the popular music act Jacob Sisters along with comics Ingo Insterburg, Peter Ehlebracht and Jürgen Barz who all were awarded the Ernst-Lubitsch-Preis for their ensemble performance.
Schamoni's following films garnered awards as well, yet they did not enjoy similar box-office success: The romance "Wir-Zwei" ("We Two", 1970), the autobiographical road movie "Eins" ("One", 1971) and the comedy "Chapeau Claque" ("Top Hat", 1974, both starring Schamoni himself in the leading role), and the zeitgeist-comedy "Das Traumhaus" (1980) didn't fulfill commercial expectations. Shifting to television, Schamoni created the shows "Was wären wir ohne uns?" (1980) and "So lebten sie alle Tage" (1984).
In 1987, he founded "Hundert, 6", the first private radio station in Berlin, and five years later, he also founded the first city's first local TV station. In both cases, he quickly handed management duties over to others.
On March 9, 1998, Ulrich Schamoni passed away in Berlin following a battle with cancer. His older brothers Victor (1932-1975), Peter (1934-2011) and Thomas (1936-2014) were working in film as well.

Service Mission to San Jose Las Flores - March 2017
Home - News - Service Mission to San Jose Las Flores - March 2017
During the March break, students from St. Paul's High School and St. Boniface Diocesan High School participated in a service mission to El Salvador. For St. Paul's, this was the eighth mission to El Salvador and for St. Boniface, the third.
Our first full day was March 24, the anniversary of the death of Archbishop Romero in 1980. Our team was present at the Mass in his memory at La Divina Providencia Church, where his life was taken from him. Our school president, Father L. Altilia S.J. , concelebrated the Mass with several other priests from El Salvador. This Mass marked the beginning of the learning part of our mission. On the following Sunday we visited the church in El Paisnal where Father Rutilio Grande S.J. is buried. Father Grande was a friend to Oscar Romero, and when he was assassinated in 1977, a conservative Romero saw more clearly the injustices in El Salvador and he became a vigorous advocate for the poor. Before the Mass at El Paisnal, we listened to a talk by a man who knew Father Grande and gave us a first hand account of this unique servant of God.
For most of the rest of week, our team worked at the school "Escuela San José las Flores." Work began at this location in 2015. This year, the community requested that we assist them in building a concrete and wire fence along one side of the school property. The fence would provide security for the school in general, but in particular for the adjoining garden and the Tilapia pool constructed two years earlier.
The fence project allowed the Salvadorans and Canadians to work side by side and learn from each other. Because our project was right along a roadside, we were very visible to the community and passers by. We were told many times what an inspiration our youth was to the community. Our students were in turn inspired by the joy in the people, their openness, their gratitude and their resilience despite their poverty and a tragic past marked by a cruel civil war that lasted from 1980 to 1992.
This year, as in every year in the past, we departed El Salvador much enriched by the wonderful people we encountered. Our hope is that our youth will have a different worldview and perhaps a better understanding of what is really important in life.

You know how you can tell if an animal is ill because its fur loses its shine and looks flat? I both look and feel like that now. Earlier, I came up with "It's Thursday, so I must be in California." I've been commuting. It's about the same price as taking a peak time train to London. Just time to flatten a shirt and run.

Do you know how to keep your skin in good condition in the winter?
Great advice, thank you. I should try a sheet mask.
I keep a damp flannel on the radiator to moisten the air a little bit. Helps stop dry skin.
I love these tips. I'm trying to get myself into a good skincare routine as I find I do neglect it, these tips will be a great start.
Great advice! My skin is terrible in the winter months!
One good thing about having oily skin is that my skin doesn't dry out during the winter months. However, my lips get really dry very easily, so I always make sure to have a good lip balm on me at all times.
Great tips,my skin gets very dry in winter so I will be taking the advice on board!
this advice could not of come at a better time! my skin gets really bad when it gets cold.
great tips, must exfoliate and hydrate more, I know this makes a difference.
Thank you for the tips i always try to keep my skin looking great in the winter by drinking lots of water.
I always carry a lip balm with me and use it throughout the day, especially before bed time. But as I am out in the cold air alot i still get chapped lips, I will absolutely be trying the tea bag technique!
Keep hydrated, moisturize and always keep a lip balm handy.
I need to moisturise more. Thanks for the tips.
I love these tips! I always struggle with keeping hydrated and I feel like thats why my skin isn't the best it can be!
I suffer from dry skin even in summer, so have to try extra hard in autumn and winter. I have 2 ceramic humidifiers in my bedroom, the type you fill with water and hang on the radiators so that the water gradually evaporates. They make a big difference to the air in our bedroom. I put a couple of drops of Zoflora in the containers as well, which makes the air smell nice and also prevents any risk of mould developing in the humidifier water.
Some great tips. I always use extra moisturiser in winter.
Really great tips. I need to hydrate and moisturise more I think!
Keep hydrated and look after your lips! Head scarves are a great help!
I agree with keeping a small pot of moisturiser and some lip balm easily to hand; it's so important to treat any dry patches as they come up, in case of splitting, which can be horribly painful and quite difficult to heal, I find.
the lady that does my eyebrows and nails mentioned exfoliating my face,ive never thought of doing it before,where will i get a good brush from?

Not only have I been very busy lately, but there are a lot of changes going on here. Most notably, some photo partners have changed.
I recently started carrying and using Sirui (pronounced Sue-Ray) products. I believe at this time they are a much better fit for me and my photography and that is why I decided to partner with them. I'm excited to tell you about all of their products in the future and how I put them to use.
Here's a quick video I did about the Sirui P-204S monopod and L-20S Monopod Head. I know, I know...who uses monopods? I felt the same way...until I used this one.
