DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #16 (From FUNNY GIRL)
StormChaser replied to Dr. Vanessa Theme Ament's topic in MAD ABOUT MUSICALS: THE HISTORY OF THE HOLLYWOOD MUSICALS
1. How might Streisand's performance of the song "People" have felt different in the film, had she been more theatrical and expressive, perhaps even belting her song more? She would have seemed more worldly, less unsure of herself. When you belt a song you don't have the luxury of adding all the emotion that Barbara was able to add to the soulful rendition she gave in the movie. I was lucky enough to see her perform this on stage and it was wonderful. And I was younge enough, my teens, to think that was the way to sing it. But in later years, hearing the soulful rendition on LP, the verdict falls to the movie version. The emotion and feeling she pumps into that song is memorable. 2. Note the emotional transition moments in this scene: how do the two characters relate to each other as the lyrics are sung? She seems unsure in the beginning. Walking away from him rather than with him. She faces him partially and then turns away again. As she reveals more about her feelings, she turns her back to him or looks down while he stares at her drinking it all in. As she continues, she can look at him and even smile. While he continues to calmly look. She looks conflicted throughout the song. He looks serene. 3. How does the direction and editing of this scene support Streisand's performance? Be specific about blocking, reaction shots, etc. Barbara stays well lit thru the whole scene while Omar stays sort of in the shadows like his profession. He is almost always in profile except when the camera goes to him to get his reaction to the words and then it is full front but he is still positioned below her and away while she is higher up, bigger and brighter lit. She's trying to explain her feelings to a man she doesn't think will understand. She knows he's weak and has hopes she can make him stronger. Her being bigger and brighter is meant to draw him to her and convince him to be with her.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #15 (From MY FAIR LADY
1. Explore any common themes and filmmaking techniques in a very different movie also directed by George Cukor, Gaslight. (If you are not familiar with Gaslight, compare and contrast Cukor's theme in this scene and his techniques with another musical you have seen during this course) Gaslight was another movie about a very manipulative man. In this case he tried to drive his wife insane so he could find the jewels her aunt left her. Prof. Higgins is manipulating Liza so he can win a bet. Both men want something of the women in their lives regardless of how it effects the women. Both sets are detailed, opulent, and in shadow much of the time. I believe Cukor was making the actor's stand out in all the excess. 2. Note the emotional transition moments in this scene, how the actors portray them, and how Cukor supports them. When Liza finally looses her temper with Higgins the camera focuses on her as she throws the slippers. When Higgins is exasperated with Liza as she wonders what is to become of her, the camera focuses on him. Also Higgins took command as Liza was the weak one and it was set up with her sitting as he hovered over her. 3. What do you notice about the relationship between Eliza and Higgins that seems enhanced by Cukor's direction? I always thought that Higgins thought he was the one in charge and he was, up until the end, when it was Liza's turn to take command. When she did she stood up and stayed standing. She gave him back the glittering jewels so she wouldn't be accused of stealing, and she was now the one empowered to leave. The camera caught the emotions and body twitches as each of them realized she could leave, he would miss her, she was sad and so was he. It was all subtle but it was there.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #14 (From TWO ROBERT PRESTON FILMS)
1. As you look back to the masculine performances in musicals of past decades, what changes in male representation, and performance would you say are most noticeable? Preston is much less stuffy than the males of earlier films. He seems a more natural persona on film. He has an infectious enthusiasm that seems terribly real and authentic. Somehow he seems to pull the audience around him in deeper and faster to what he is saying or singing about than previous movies. Part of that is his voice, which is very deep and calming. But it is also his animated facial expressions and hand, and body movements. They cause excitement and engagement. 2. What other specific qualities do you notice about Robert Preston in either or both of these clips? He is very suave and debonaire but not sissyish. Even when playing a gay man he doesn't act like the stereotypical gay. In fact he acts in both movies in similar ways. Looking full on at whoever he is speaking to. He doesn't avoid eye contact with the person or camera. His voice remains calm even when excited. There are no vague hand or body motions. Everything is deliberate and punctual; masculine not feminine but not in an overbearing or thugish way. 3. Have you seen any Robert Preston films that are not musicals? If so, what do you notice about his characters and his approach to acting, now that you are more aware of his dedication to working his craft outside of his stage or film work? I am sure I have seen Preston in films that are not musicals, but I can't remember their names other than How The West Was Won. He was the wagon leader in that film who fell in love with Debbie Reynolds character. She was a dance hall girl going west to claim the mine an old man had left her. Even knowing her 'jaded' past Preston noticed how capable she was. How she helped everyone in the train and he proposed in a nice direct come-join-me way. Not with the flowers and wooing that other men might have done. That was the how he played his character. A straight forward, tell it like it is, not flowery man, who sees what he wants and goes after it. He has too much to do to waste time doing anything else but be direct. That's how he seems to approach his parts. Where are they coming from? How would they act? And that's what he does. Wait, I do remember him in The Last Starfighter. He made video games to recruit people to kill the bad guys. He was great. In a sort of bumbling, good hearted, he was doing the best for everyone kind of character. It wasn't a big part but important because it set up the movie. He may have played it a tad humorously but still in that direct how would a game designer explain away signing up a kid to fight in a war that isn't his kind of way. You can still see the thinking underneath.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #13 (From GYPSY)
1. In what ways does this scene look backwards to classical musicals and how does it look ahead to new disruptions that we now know will happen in the movie musical? There is the traditional 'cattle call' to decide who is going to be picked as the talent to go on the show. There is a full orchestra to accompany the performers as they try out. But instead of a calm one at a time try-out all is chaos, mostly because of Mama Rose. First there is the promoter who is rigging the show for the balloon girl. Then Rose comes on to push for Baby June. Then Rose heads off to try to pop the balloons on the girls costume. The emcee quits. Everything is a confused mess sort of like the later musicals. 2. This is the introduction of Mama Rose in the film. Comment on Rosalind Russell's entrance and performance especially as a traditionally trained stage and film actress. She comes in loud and solo on the screen. She is non-stop talking, taking over the whole stage and everyone. All the focus from the moment she appears is centered on her and only her. Just the way the star of a stage performance would come in. 3. Pay attention to the song "Let Me Entertain You" in this scene. Is there anything you notice in Sondheim's lyrics that are sly, subversive, or edgy? You can also discuss the song's performance and staging as disruptive (or not As discussed by the curator there is the 'let me see you smile' lyric that foreshadows the action at the end of the film when Louise is a stripper. I also found the staging of Louise in boy's clothes but sucking her thumb to be disruptive. Also the referring to the girl as Baby June. She certainly doesn't sound like a baby when she belts out that song like a grown woman. Everything is sort of a odds with what it should be. You'd think Rose would be a stage mama but not a tiger eating everyone up including her own kids. Baby June should look cute but with a kids voice. Louise should be tom-boyish but isn't. Everything is off and out of whack. It took me a long time before I could like this movie because of all the odd things happening in it. The relationship between Rose and her daughters, and her relationship with the rest of the company was always disconcerting. Rose's need to keep everyone children and not let them grow up was manipulative and abusive. It took me growing up to separate the tale from the movie so I could appreciate the way the movie was written and sung.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #12 (From AN AMERICAN IN PARIS)
1. Does a movie that has as stylized a scene as An American in Paris' ending ballet need to use a less-than-realistic, stylized approach throughout the film? Why not? I don't think it's a matter of does a movie need to but of does it feel better to carry the same theme through the movie? I'm not an expert at this but this movie changes a lot. It's a totally different type of movie. I remember watching it for the first time and thinking whoever dreamed it up must have been on serious drugs. But the darn thing worked, worked really great. I think because it had such an unrealistic, fantasy kind of feel to it. My answer is no it doesn't need to have that approach all the time, but sometimes it needs it, and its genius when you know the difference. 2. What keeps Jerry Mulligan from being completely unlikeable in a scene in which he acts pretty darn unlikeable? He never struck me as being 'pretty darn unlikeable'. He always struck me as being frustrated with where his life was, where his painting wasn't, where his lack of customers were. I always thought that he had just reached a place where he didn't want to suffer fools gladly; probably because he had suffered through enough of them or felt enough of a fool himself.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #11 (From Singin' in the Rain
1. How do the pre-dance movements of O'Connor and Kelly compare to their actual dance movements? The pre-dance movements are as on-beat as the dance moves are. Each hand, eye, shoulder, etc movement was in time to each syllable spoken. Then the music started and they began to dance and it was a seamless transition because they had been following the beat all along. 2. Watch the Professor all the way through and consider the role of the straight man. There has to be a straight man to react to the funny man, perhaps not all the time but most of the time, especially for sight gags. The beginning of this sketch was a sight gag with Donald mugging through the words to 'Moses'. In a longer sketch where the funny man might be trying out material, the straight man's job is to not react to the duds and to react only to the funny lines. 3. How do the representations of masculinity in all three men compare and contrast with each other? All three are obviously men. Gene has always been considered a very athletic dancer and if you look at hs body compared to Donald's his does look a tad more muscular. despite that Donald easily kept up with Gene step for step. He might have had a slighter build but was no less athletic than Gene. The Professor had about the same build as Gene but he did none of the work of dancing. All of his work was mental. But none of that makes one of the men more masculine than the others. It's all in if and how we react to the stereotype and what society is driving us to react to.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #10 (From CALAMITY JANE)
1. As you reflect upon female representation in the 1950s, where do you think this film character falls in the continuum? Why? I think Doris' character falls at the beginning. She is definitely of the my man is away and I have to take care of everything until he comes back kind of mind. She may not be married but she is helping her community by getting the stage safely through. Towards the end of the movie as she makes the shift to a more feminine version of herself it shifts the movie along the continuum also to a less masculine female to a more feminine female.. 2. How do you think Doris Day grows as an actress in her various roles in the 1950s, before and after this musical? Many of Doris's roles were of a single, independent female working to take care of someone or something. Her ealier roles were more boisterous and in your face. That gave way to roles that had a more reserved but still tom boyish feeling. The feeling of a woman, not a girl playing at being a woman, who could take care of things and still know that she needed help sometimes. 3. Does Doris Day's bright and sunny persona add or detract from the role of Calamity Jane in your opinion? Please defend your answer. I think her sunny persona added a lot to the role of Calamity. The bright sunny personality was what lent the strength to the boyishness, and plain strength of purpose and will that Calamity had to face what she saw coming. And the sunniness gave the personality the lightness to be able to transform herself from a huge tom boy into a woman at the end.

DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #9 (From THE BAND WAGON)
1. As you watch the interaction between the four characters in this scene, what do you notice about the way they include each other or relate to one another? How is it different from early musicals we have discussed? They touch each other during the song and frequently change places so no one person takes priority. In earlier musicals the characters were separate from each other or only in two's. 2. What do you notice about the costuming of the characters that indicate cohesiveness of the ensemble, as opposed to setting anyone apart? Be specific. The four players are all wearing complimentary colors. Astaire is wering a dark, blue pin striped suit. Levant is wearing dark trousers and light tan jacket with a dark blue tie. Buchanan is wearing a lighter blue jacket with dark blue pants and a tan ascot. Fabray is wearing an off-white and tan dress. The colors aren't matchy matchy but they are cohesive and bring the group together without wearing a uniform. 3. What do you notice about the staging and interplay between the characters that helps define the relationships between the characters in the song? It's obvious that Astair is the one who needs the convincing. He is the one placed in the center of the group as they sing about what entertainment is. Astair is the one they look at before they look at each other to check if their message is getting through. Fabray seems to be the cement because she is the one checking in with everyone with looks.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #8 (From CABIN IN THE SKY)
1. What do you notice about the way the scene is directed as Petunia goes to Joe's bedside and as we cut to her outside hanging laundry? What does this tell us about her relationship, and the connection to the song? Petunia rushes to Joe's side to care for him when she knows he is okay and when she is outside taking in the wash Joe is in a wheel chair near her. She pushes it back into the shade to make him more comfortable, taking care of him again. Her care for him, him being dependent on her tell me that he is everything to her and vice versa because "happiness is just a name called Joe". 2. How would the song change if it was a woman singing about her child? Does the cultural meaning change? How? I'm not sure the song would change that much if it was sung about a child. I had a son who was a severe asthmatic and I was always rushing him to the hospital. I know when he did better things were much more light hearted in the house than when he wasn't. I was a single mom the husband I'd be compareing the feeling to wasn't there. And I'm also not so sure if cultually the meaning would change. Love of husband or child I think is the same in any culture How we show it might change but how we feel it doest'1 3. What other thoughts do you have about this film, the issues of black Americans during WWII, and this film's importance in this era? I'm commenting on the issues of black Americans in WWII with hind sight. We needed men to fight in the war, all of our men. If that meant that for once we needed to seem to be inclusive in films to encourage black men to sign up to fight and black women to sign up to work in the factories then that's the way we'd look. Too bad we really weren't inclusive but they found that out once they were in the war and in segregated units not allowed to fight with white soldiers. But the fact that there were films about black lives at all was a miracle.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #7 (From TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME)
1. Thinking like a director and editor, describe how each shot spotlights key actions. When Frank stops running the two are high-lighted by the lighter exit box in the darker-shaded bleachers. The exit box acts like a frame for the action. Later their light colored clothes stand out against the darker shade of the bleachers. Then they get framed again against the baack wall at the top of the seats. 2. It's interesting to examine how musicals segue into musical numbers. How does this sequence prepare us for the singing? Betty is waiting, stalking really, frank in the hallway. The music is playful as Frank moves to the side to avoid Betty. She playfully jumps to the side to block him. He backs up, she runs after him and the music speeds up, faster and faster causing the audience to race to think what's coming next. Then Betty suddenly speaks, stopping the music but starting the singing. This happens a lot in musical comedies. The music will swell before the singing breaks out.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #6 (From TWO JUDY GARLAND FILMS)
1. What was the first Judy Garland film you recall watching? What was your first impression of her? The first time I recall watching Judy was on a TV special. It must have been around 1960, give or take a few years. I was just hitting my early teens and here was this woman with a magnificent voice dressed not just in the gowns the other women wore but in a black jacket, top hat and black tap pants and hose. I thought she was the most wonderful woman on two dancing feet! Her voice soared, her body moved to the music like a violin string plucked by the musician, and her face moved to the lyrics so the viewer experienced each nuance of the song. I was lucky; my mother used to sing and she wuld sit and explain why someone was good or not. She thought Judy was the best. I know I must have seen movies of her before that special but that is the image that coems to mind. The movies I have seen so many times over the years they all blend together. That special was just that, on TV once and very special. 2. How do you view her differently after viewing these clips than you might have viewed her previously? I don't really view her differently since I am very familiar with this scene. What did strike me when watching it was the difference in handling between this song and the one in Yankee Doddle Dandy "Forthy Five Minutes from Broadway". They both deal with the haves and have nots between the posh and not posh parts of NYC. Yankeee Doodle kept it refined when sung because of the singer. In Easter Parade with Judy's range and comic ability what might have been sung straight became a wonderful comic song. 3. What films in her later career come to mind as examples of her increasing ability to capture an audience's imagination as a storyteller when she sings a lyric? One film is "A Star is Born". When I was younger I didn't like this is film very much. It waas the music and the feeling that Judy put into music that helped me to understand the story that I was too young to understand. But as I got older and had more experience, I understood the story on its own rights. It was then that the songs sung by Judy took on even more meaning. Her voice could paint such pictures in your mind. With one adjustment to another you felt sad, happy, worried,etc. I don't remember the names of the songs in that movie. I just remember her magic
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #4 (FROM TOP HAT)
1. What other aspects of battle of the sexes do you see indicated in this clip or in the film Top Hat? The rainy weather with the thunder and lightning is another aspect of the battle, along with the crop in her hand. Then there is her little dance step alone after their first steps together, a challenge to say see I can start one too. The clothing that both are wearing, pants and tailored jackets. What is amusing is that she is wearing the hat in an age when men always wore hats. 2. How does this film distinguish itself from other Depression era musicals we have watched or discussed this week? This doesn't have the amount of grand costumes and thousands of back-up dancers in huge halls. 3. What possible reasons might there be for the changes in roles between men and women depicted in these screwball comedy musicals that distinguish themselves from earlier musicals in the 1930s? One reason is the code board cleaning up what they thought of aas racy films. As we headed into the late 30s the news from Europe wasn't good. The world knew of the rise of Hitler and the things he was promoting. They weren't always paying heed but they knew. America may have wanted to stay out of a war if one started but many Americans still had close family in Europe and there was fear for the future. This also was a reason to depict a stronger rols for women who might soon have to carry on while their men were at war.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #3 (FROM THE LOVE PARADE)
DAILY DOSE 3 1)What do you notice about the Lubitsch touch? How do the props, the dialogue, and the staging help you understand the character of Alfred (Maurice Chevalier)? The first thing I noticed when the couple burst through the door arguing was that Alfred just stood, at the door jamb, perfectly composed, smiling even, as if this sort of thing happened to him all the time. Then the woman came out still agitated and he still stayed calm. He was not at all discomposed when she shoved the garter at him as other men may have, again reinforcing that he had plenty of experience dealing with this. Then her husband arrives and he still remains calm. She on the other hand fakes shooting herself, wherin the husband shoots Alfred. Again he just stands there and doesn't try to run away. I have to wonder how many times husbands have shot at him. At the end when her husband couldn't do up her dress she exasperatedly turns to Alfred who does it in a second. I could only understand a tiny bit of the French dialog but the expression in the voices told the story of a woman who was having an affair, a husband who just found out but loves his wife and doesn't want her dead. He just wants the man dead. With all this excitement and turmoil Alfred stays calm in manner, actions, and speaech. Between his calmness and accepting of the situation you know he has dallied with many married women before and will again. 2) Based on this scene, what are some of the things you notice about the scene's use of sound? Describe a specific sound or line of dialogue you hear and what you think it adds to the scene's effectiveness. Actually what I noticed was a lack of sound, except for the voices and the gun shots. SInce this was an early talkie that made the dialog very effective. Your concentration was totally on the movements of the actors and the dialog, nothing else. There were no traffic noises, no music playing in the background. When the gun appeared and was shot the sound was all the more glaring because it was so alone and made it very effective. 3) What themes or approaches might you anticipate from this clip in other Depression-era musicals? There certainly was the approach of opulence in this clip that was in subsequent depression movies. There seemed to be a restraint of sound in this movie that I haven't noticed in other movies except for when they wanted to emphasize particular dialog they decrease music or if they want to emphsize the music and dance they decrease the dialog.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #2 (From Rose Marie)
1) What do you notice about the interaction between the characters in these two scenes? Please give specific examples. In the first clip McDonald keeps her back to Eddy during most of the song but smiling as if enjoying a private joke. Eddy spends a lot of the time looking outwardly stiff but he also smiles a small smaile as if enjoying a secret. Towards the end of the clip they face each other and tease vocally. In the second clip McDonald is nervous and does not sing the song well when Eddy arrives. When Eddy enters the room and sits with two floozies she seems upsets. One of the women gets up to sing the song McDonald is killing. When that happens Eddy sees how McDonald is trying to capture the audience back and he smiles as if to applaud her for trying to fight against a stronger tide. 2) If you have seen either or both of these actors in other films or television shows, please share your perceptions about them. I have seen them both in other films with each other. They are not my favorite films. Both of them have good operetta voices and do decent justice to the music they sing in the films. As actors I think of Eddy as a stiff, except for when he smiles. Smiling brings his whole face to life and makes me believe there is a personality under the acting face. The acting face however does him no good and leaves me cold. McDonald appears to be a warmer person. I don't think her acting ability is fantastic but at least I feel like I get to see a personality in her roles. Good or bad, the personality helps in the playing of the role, I feel, and without it the role gets tossed away. 3) What do these clips tell you about the male/female relationships as they are depicted in the films during this era? What norms might you expect are supported under the Hollywood Film Code? It strikes me that the role of the male is to pursue, however ineptly and the females role is to evade no matter how much she may wish to jump into his arms. He is to woo to win her; she is to tease and torment to see if he is willing to do battle to win her. Taking all that into account I would expect that the Code would support a chastely intimate relationship leading to marriage. By chastely intimate I mean the wooing and teasing that is seen in thses clips. The discrete clothing, nothing too revealing. Music that might speak to the heart and of the heart but only in poetic terms of classical love.
DAILY DOSE OF DELIGHT #5 (From Yankee Doodle Dandy)
1) Describe how the scenes in today's Daily Dose were designed to promote American values for audiences during World War II. Be specific. Refer to props, set design, settings, etc. in your answer. The set couldn't be grander, the White House itself, with its grand halls and tall ceilings. Even better on the way up the wide staircase were portraits of some of the past presidents hanging on the wall. When the camera brings us into the Oval Office you see paintings of sailings ships, which I assume are of America's sailing battleships of the past, as well as models of ships. Of course there were flags on staffs flanking the hearth. The room was darkened promote an atmosphere of the seriousness of the times even though the task at hand was a pleasant one, awarding a Medal of Honor. 2) Listen carefully to the dialogue in these scenes. In what ways does the dialogue and/or the screenplay work to boost American morale? Quote specific lines of dialogue in your response. 3) The opening parade with all of the flags waving as the marchers go by is designed to stir patriotic feelings. The doorman mentioning the song "It's a Grand Old Flag" and saying Teddy sang it in the bath tub; then they both agreed that 'it was a good song then and now'. The current President saying that 'he always admired the ability of the Irish Americans to carry their love of flag and country out in the open'. Then Cohan followed up saying 'his father had joined the Civil war when he was only 13 and then told everyone what a great state Massachusettes was' and George had been 'telling the other 48 since then what a great country it is'. Since this is the opening of a biographical musical, how differently do you feel this film would be if it opened with the Fourth of July Parade scene in Providence, Rhode Island vs. the opening with FDR in the Oval Office? Defend your answer. If it had opened with the parade it would have still been a great film. The music would have been loved and celebrated but the man himself and his music was given much more importance by opening the film in the White House with the President than would have been felt if that was all handled at the end. I remember when I first saw this film. I had come home from school near the end of June and it was playing on the 3pm TV movie show as an early 4th of July movie. Most of Rhode Island closed down and went on vacation when I was a kid so the 4th was pretty big to us. I remember wondering why he was called to see the President and why didn't they tell us. And I kept asking that question during the movie. The wondering kept my attention in the plot. I liked the music and the story but I wanted to know what the President wanted with him. It made an impact on me that I don't think would have been there if the movie had just started off with the parade.

Londonderry/Derry
Songs of the Sea exhibition opens at Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre
By whatsonni
A new art exhibition inspired by the stunning seascapes and coastline of Inishowen has opened at Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre in Limavady.
CCGBC ARTS LAUNCH – Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, Councillor Richard Holmes, pictured at the new art exhibition Songs of the Sea by internationally acclaimed artist Rikki-Louise van den Berg at Roe Valley Arts and Cultural Centre in Limavady.
Songs of the Sea by internationally acclaimed artist Rikki-Louise van den Berg explores the dialogue between artist, land and coast in the beautiful surroundings of Donegal.
The exhibition spans two galleries, featuring a collection of new works from 2021, with a range of small and large pieces reflecting Rikki's explorative walks along the shore.
Its official launch will take place via Facebook Live on the Arts Centre's page at 1pm on Wednesday 12th January with a virtual tour led by the artist.
Originally from Holland, Rikki spent her formative years in Ireland and returned to these shores in 1997 to establish herself as a figurative and abstract painter, embarking on a personal journey in search of identity and place.
Explaining her inspiration, Rikki said: "My work is an inner-response to my outside world, my surroundings, to nature; it's vulnerable beauty, colours, movement, contrasts, it's fleeting moments of timelessness.
"I work intuitively, and I welcome the tempestuous, the surprise and unexpected beauty in a stroke, movement or colour.
"To me the essence of painting lies in the process, the learning, mark making, the discovery. It's about expressing what I feel. During the painting process I can build, destroy, uncover, paint over, wash and scrape, apply layers of paint by knife or hands or even sometimes from a distance. An intriguing conversation between me and the canvas, mirroring perhaps the acts of nature on the landscape."
Rikki's work has received both national and international acclaim and is currently represented by several renowned galleries in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
In 2012, she was selected as part of a small group of Irish painters to participate in 'Irish Wave 3', Beijing, China, curated by BIGsmall and Fion Gunn. A series of visual art events were held in Beijing and Shanghai in March 2012, continuing into 2013.

In photos: Embracing summer adventures!
Pedaling away
Summer explorations
Community compassion
One pedal after the next, students hopped on their bikes and enjoyed exploring the beauty and nature of the White Bear area. A partnership with BikeMN (Bike Alliance of Minnesota) allowed staff to offer a Wheely Cool Bike Camp to community and Extended Day students at Birch Lake Elementary. Highlights included teaching bike safety (Walk! Bike! Fun! curriculum) and putting it into action by bilking around the Birch Lake Elementary neighborhood. Participants also enjoyed destination bike rides to Lincoln Elementary, Podvin Park, Yost Park and Cup and Cone! Students reflected on what they learned and enjoyed the most about the camp, which was the ABC (air, brake, chain) Quick Check, ice cream treats and just getting to go on many fun adventures! One student said they couldn't believe their legs could bike so much, so far!
While some students pedaled away, others learned about pedals in a different way. Students transformed into Gardening Gurus after a class where they focused on learning about soil, the types of plants that grow best in Minnesota and other secret gardening tips at Birch Lake Elementary. Each student was able to take home a plotted plant that they learned all about. In other fun news, families are invited to join the White Bear Lake Area Schools Indian Education staff and American Indian Parent Advisory Committee members as they celebrate the beginning of the new school year at an exciting Back to School event. There will be food and family-friendly activities at the event that will take place on Monday, August 20 at 5:45 p.m. at Lakewood Hills Park. View this flyer for more details about the opportunity. The American Indian Parent Advisory Committee is a parent driven initiative that meets regularly throughout the school year and focuses on working collaboratively with representatives of White Bear Lake Area Schools toward better outcomes for all self-identified American Indian students. More information about the initiative can be found on the District's website.
Students at Otter Lake Elementary had the opportunity to interact with and learn about some unique animals through Tori and her Precious Pets. They had the chance to learn about, touch, and observe turtles, tortoises, hermit crabs, lizards and other small animals. Exciting visitors continued to stop by the elementary school as Deputy Mary Bergstrom, of the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office, also met with students at Otter Lake Elementary to talk with them about safety and community helpers. Students learned about Deputy Bergstrom's job, and all the ways that law enforcement officers help to keep the community safe. They also were able to discuss ways in which their actions contribute to safety. Students excitedly explored the law enforcement vehicle that Deputy Bergstrom drove to Otter Lake Elementary. While students enjoyed learning more about the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office, community members enjoyed the sounds and experiences of the Ukulele Group.
The fun experiences continued as a Norwegian exchange student who studied at WBLAHS in 2016-17 took an exciting trip back to White Bear this summer with their family. During their visit, they were able to explore White Bear Lake Area High School - South Campus and other places they made memories at during their time a couple years ago - including finding their name on a framed 2008-2017 student list that was a retirement gift to Dr. Lovett! Staff also enjoyed spending time out in the community on Thursday nights for Marketfest this summer. Every week, community members and staff had the opportunity to enjoy conversations together at the White Bear Lake Area Schools Marketfest booth. The summer fun was captured in this video. In other fun news, everyone is invited to participate in the 2018-19 #BackToSchoolBears Facebook Challenge by posting why they are excited for the upcoming school year for a chance to win a Cup and Cone treat, hand-delivered from Bear. Learn more about how to participate and have a chance at being the winner!
Speaking of hands-on experiences, Extended Day students were busy cleaning for a cause. Students had fun washing and drying cars, as well as hosting a snack stand, for the Suds, Snacks & Service event. This is an annual service opportunity that is held to benefit the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. The event was a success, as they raised $269 and collected 252 pounds of food! Other Extended Day students and staff at Oneka Elementary also have been working to collect food for others. They enjoyed their annual staff versus student food drive where they celebrated their success with the initiative at a pie toss. Also, students who participated in the summer reading Bookawocky program were able to get their names drawn for prizes. The kindness continued as other students and community members put their feet forward for a cause. The community gathered for the White Bear Lake Area Relay for Life event to show support for those impacted by cancer, such as White Bear Football Coach Ryan Bartlett. The coach walked the Survivors' Lap along with family, friends, and a sea of orange supporters who wore Team Bartlett t-shirts to show their support. Students have been stepping up in many ways to support their coach, such as showing up at the White Bear Lake Area Relay for Life Marketfest booth where they sold orange "Team Bartlett" bracelets and had a football toss game. In other Bearified news, there is Bear spirit wear available to purchase during the first session of the Homecoming online store through Friday, September 7, which will be ready for distribution during the week of September 24. There is a second session that will open on Monday, September 10 and close on Monday, October 1, which will not be delivered in time for Homecoming.
The rewarding opportunities continued as several freshmen have been embracing their roles as interns in the FLEX program this summer. FLEX is afterschool programming for middle school students during the school year, and full-day programming is offered on most non-school days and during the summer. The interns are able to enjoy fun activities with students, field trips and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) opportunities. During FLEX, the interns are able to serve as role models in a program that is focused on encouraging leadership in a choice-based, student-driven and relaxed environment. The interns said they have learned new skills such as how to fix lockers, be even more understanding and compassionate. Other students have the opportunity to learn more about growing their leadership and relationships skills through the 2018 Spotlight on a Cause program, which is a program that strives to teach students about being a leader in their local community and greater world through the original production "Jelly Beans the Cheetah and Hope." Learn more about the opportunity. In other theatre news, community members were able to recently enjoy successful performances of "Big Fish, A New Musical," which was a production of the alumni-founded White Bear Lake Community Players Theatre, which also had ties to the District's Community Services and Recreation Department.
Students were invited to St. Paul College to experience advanced manufacturing and welding first-hand at the Imagine it, Design it, Make it Camp. During the opportunity, students were able to learn some welding and basic machining. In other Career Pathways news, several students enjoyed their time in the MN Trades Academy, which is a paid summer construction internship program for those who are selected to participate in the Twin Cities Area. Hard hats, hammers, ladders, and all, students are able to get hands-on experience in this program that prepares youth for life-long learning in hopes of getting them access to good jobs in the construction industry. Other White Bear students embraced their time at FireFly Computers where they could learn more about technology through the business that offers school computing solutions to customers including Chromebooks and laptops. Students, staff and families recently celebrated students' hard work and commitment during the Gen Z Connections program at a closing ceremony. Gen Z Connections focuses on ensuring students receive hands-on experience and gain manufacturing skills through paid internships. White Bear Lake Area Schools and the Career Pathways Program also embraced an exciting experience, as the community came together for an Employer Breakfast where industry partners could learn more about the opportunities offered to students and community partnerships through the expanding program. Check out the latest edition of the WBLAS Career Pathways Newsletter and the Special Edition.
The innovative experiences continued as District Digital Learning Specialist Ryan Clark embraced the topic of "How might we make learning feel more personal?," at the Google Innovator Academy in July. Ryan was one of just 36 educators from around the U.S. who was chosen to attend. The Google Innovator Academy is just one part of a whole year of programming, including a year-long formal mentorship with an established innovator, designed to support iterations of the minimum viable product that they designed at the academy. During the experience in Venice, California, innovators were able to learn about each other's projects, connect, find inspiration, and immerse themselves in a Google-focused culture. Other district leaders were also able to embrace an educational trip in July, as three district staff members visited iconic locations from the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi. The learning experience was made possible through a WBLAEF Glasrud Fellowship. Read more about their reflections and time on their journeys.

Since 2009, Vivre Perché has been involved in all aspects of construction up in the air; treehouses, zip lines, bridges, observation decks, platforms…. These structures integrate harmoniously into your space and allow you to appreciate your property in a whole new way.
Our main area of expertise is aerial construction or working up high, We are expert climbers and cabinet makers. Our aerial skills have enabled us to develop original solutions to connect observation platforms, interpretive trails and tree houses.
Through aerial construction we can facilitate interactions with nature, and sensitize users to the importance of preserving and managing the forest and all its biodiversity for future generations.
Suspended walkways, observation platforms or tree houses, all can be integrated into existing commercial structures, National parks, campgrounds, outfitters, ZECs, ornithological clubs or simply on your property for private use ... From a simple tree house to a more complex 'village' in the trees, we adapt each project to its environment and the needs of our clients.
The environment is at the heart of who we are and it is always protected in what we do. Respect for the forest, its trees and the surrounding environment is inherent in all our projects, it is the space in which we create.

A publication of the Ontario Heritage Trust considers the University's work to preserve the Windsor Armouries and transform it into an arts centre.
Heritage publication details repurposing of Armouries
The ambitious transformation of the Windsor Armouries into centre for the arts is the subject of an article in the Autumn 2019 issue of Heritage Matters, a publication of the Ontario Heritage Trust.
"The Armouries building was, and is, an enduring symbol of sacrifice, freedom and pride for the region," writes John Coleman in a piece entitled Learning from the past. "The restoration has given a new focus to Windsor's proud military history."
He notes the renovation created practice rooms for musicians, a performance centre, a library, classrooms, offices, a keyboard and computer lab, and studios for photography, painting, film production, sonic arts, sculpture, metal, and woodworking.
The trust, an agency of the Ontario government, has a mandate to identify, protect, promote, and conserve heritage in all its forms. Its current issue of Heritage Matters explores how conservation contributes positively to the province's economic, social, and cultural life while supporting a sustainable and vibrant economy.

Beautiful Lombok Island
Lombok,
With divine beaches, the majestic Mt Rinjani and spectacular marine life to discover, the island of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara has no shortage of attractions both in and out of the water. It's no wonder that Lombok become one of the most popular destination in West Nusa Tenggara.
The Adventurous Trek
Challenge yourself with a trek up steep volcanic peaks. Hire a bike and cycle through lush evergreen rice paddies. Whichever way you choose to spend your time you won't be disappointed with the spectacular natural beauty on offer here.
Lombok Island is separated by the Lombok strait from Bali Island in the west and by Alas strait in the east from Sumbawa Island.
The Sasak people are the dominant ethnic group living in this island, which also consist of 5 regions: North Lombok, Central Lombok, East Lombok, West Lombok and Mataram city, the capital of West Nusa Tenggara.
North Lombok is where you can embark on the great hike to Mount Rinjani and linger until the sunset at Gili's beautiful beaches.
Mount Rinjani is one of the highest volcano in Indonesia, with its summit rising to 3,726 meters above sea level. The Segara Anak Crater Lake located on top of the volcano, is one of the scenic view you should stop by and marvel at!
Explore the Waters
Among more than 20 gilis - local name that means "small island" in Sasak language - three stood out to be the hot spot destination : Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air.
Gili Trawangan or Gili T, is where travelers flock to enjoy a laid back atmosphere during day light and still are up to enjoy moonlit parties all night by the beach. You can also enjoy a great scuba dive and circle the island on bicycle to catch the most incredible sunset!
Gili Meno is defined by long stretch of pearly white beaches that will give you a secluded feel. Famous for honeymooners destination, the island provide accommodation ranging from unique bungalows to luxurious resorts overlooking amazing panorama.
Gili Air is a cheerful mix of the two vibes, where you can still enjoy parties in hip hang outs or succumb at a peaceful nook and just enjoy the ocean breeze. Families love to travel to Gili Air to explore the island on the horse drawn cart or just swimming in the low tides before sun down.
Central Lombok is where the lovely beaches are situated. Kuta Beach, Tanjung A'an, and Mawun Beach are just a few on the list. Don't miss out to brush up your wave riding skills in the splendid Selong Belanak Beach, or make way to Merese Hill and enjoy the view.
Blend in with the Locals
Here you can also visit the traditional villages and join the locals of Sasak tribe to experience their daily life in the weaving village of Sade and Rambitan. You may learn a thing or two from the wonderful women with meticulous weaving skills that produces fine quality textiles.
You can get across the sea to Sumbawa Island from the harbors in East Lombok. If you love exploring something new, you may find the black sand beach of Obel-Obel to be captivating!
In West Lombok, you can linger in Senggigi beach and discover the wild life at the Monkey Forest in Pusuk Village, right at the border between North and West Lombok. Just be careful with your belongings and keep them out of the monkey's reach.
Mataram is the center for government and industry. It consist of the old town district of Ampenan, Cakranegara as the commercial district and Mataram city as office district.
Make time to visit the West Nusa Tenggara Museum, Mayura Garden and Narmada Park to find more stories about the island.
For the adventurous spirit, you can explore more of its south coast like the famous Tangsi 'Pink' Beach in further south east, with pretty corals making the shore looked blushed. Trek the path to find the amazing Senaru Waterfalls and Benang Kelambu Waterfalls for a soothing sight.(Indonesia.travel)

Thers's a new kind of cosmetic procedure available. This new cosmetic procedure doesn't require injecting any acids, fat or toxins into the face. The main ingredient in this wrinkle removing procedure is the patient's own blood.
MI Body Contours & Cosmetics is a highly experienced and fully-licensed provider of the Vampire Facelift® and we have helped our clients completely rejuvenate their look by keeping their faces looking young, fresh, and smooth, all done naturally and non-surgically with the new groundbreaking Vampire procedure.
ONLY CERTIFIED PROVIDERS KNOW THE TRADE SECRETS OF THE VAMPIRE FACELIFT® AND OWN LICENSE TO USE THE NAME. ANY OTHERS USING THE NAME "VAMPIRE FACELIFT" (OR ANY VARIATION) VIOLATE TRADEMARK LAW, MAY BE DOING AN INFERIOR PROCEDURE, AND ARE SUBJECT TO PROSECUTION.

3. Skin texture becomes less smooth. As a result, the person looks "worn", or "tired" or "droopy." The lively, rosy hue (seen plainly in playing children of every skin color and in young adults) fades to a dull gray.
Cosmetic surgery can remove excess skin and make the person appear younger. But, a surgical facelift can be more than what's needed for some people (especially when loss of shape without extra skin is the main problem).
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers lift the skin away from the bone to restore youthful volume and shape. But HA fillers can cause problems near the eye. Also, the injector of HA fillers can chase a wrinkle and create a shape that looks foreign to the person's face or even foreign to this planet.
First, the injector (1) uses HA fillers to create a beautiful shape. (2) Then, the physician isolates growth factors from the patient's blood. (3) When these growth factors enter the face (injected by the physician), then muti-potent stem cells become activated to grow new tissue. This new tissue includes new collagen, new fatty tissue (for smoothness), and new blood vessels (for a healthy glow).
In the first part of the Vampire FaceLift® procedure, the physician uses an Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler (like Restylane or Juvederm) in a very specific way to sculpt a younger appearing face--while still keeping the shape natural.
Then, using a centrifuge, the physician isolates platelets from that blood (platelet-rich plasma or PRP)--all within about 10 minutes in the office!
Then she "activates" those platelets to cause the release from the platelets of at least 8 growth factors that would normally be used to heal injured tissue.
Using numbing cream and a very small needle (for almost no pain), the physician injects the woman's own growth factors back into her face in a particular way. These growth factors then activate multipotent stem cells already in the skin (tricking them into "thinking" there's been an injury and new younger tissue should generated).
Length of Procedure: The Vampire Facelift procedure takes anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour and a half.
Post-Procedure Pain: Expect slight swelling and some potential bruising (normal for all injectable procedures) lasting anywhere from a couple days to a week or two.
Popularity: The Vampire Facelift is the most popular non-invasive facial rejuvenation procedure out on the market.
Research shows the PRP can down-regulate the autoimmune response (helping those we problems like contact dermatitis, lichen sclerosus, and eczema).

Q: Android Studio UI elements missing between I started the android tutorials on my laptop while I was away on a trip. Among the first parts it includes learning how to contraint and autoconnect in layout mode, using this picture as a reference.
This worked with my laptop. However, when I open my desktop Android Studio, which I had installed months prior, these elements are missing.

I thought this may be a result of an out of date, so I uninstalled Android Studio and reinstalled the newest version to no avail. How does one go about fixing this.
