My Life in the Bush of Ghosts () — дебютный студийный альбом Брайана Ино и Дэвида Бирна, выпущенный в феврале 1981 года. Первая студийная работа Бирна отдельно от Talking Heads включает в себя семплированный вокал и найденные звуки, африканские и ближневосточные ритмы, а также элементы электронной музыки. Альбом был записан ещё до совместной пластинки Ино и Бирна в составе Talking Heads Remain in Light (1980), но из-за проблем с авторскими правами на семплы его выпуск был отложен на несколько месяцев.

Обширное использование семплов на альбоме считалось инновационным, хотя влияние альбома на более поздние семплированные музыкальные жанры является предметом обсуждения. Pitchfork назвал его 21 альбомом в списке лучших пластинок 1980-х годов, в то время как журнал Slant Magazine поместил его на 83 место в своем списке «лучших альбомов 1980-х».

Запись
Ино и Бирн впервые сотрудничали в ходе работы над пластинкой More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978) группы Бирна Talking Heads. My Life in the Bush of Ghosts была записана в перерыве между альбомами Talking Heads Fear of Music (1979) и Remain in Light (1980), над которыми также работал Ино. Название альбома взято из романа Амоса Тутуолы «Моя жизнь в лесу духов», вышедшего в 1954 году. Согласно примечаниям Бирна к изданию 2006 года, ни он, ни Ино не читали роман, но чувствовали, что заголовок «как будто заключает в себе смысл этой записи».

Ино описал пластинку как «видение психоделической Африки». Вместо обычного поп-или рок-пения, большинство вокальных партий взято из сторонних источников, таких как коммерческие записи арабских певцов, диджеев и даже экзорциста. Музыканты ранее использовали похожие методы семплирования, но по словам автора Guardian Дэйва Симпсона, они никогда ранее не приводили «к такому катастрофическому эффекту». В 2001 году Ино ссылался на эксперименты Хольгера Чукая с диктофонами и коротковолновыми радиоприемниками в качестве более ранних примеров семплинга. Он чувствовал, что «разница была, наверное, в том, что я решил использовать [семплинг] для ведущего вокала». Релиз был отложен, так как требовалось получить согласие владельцев авторских прав на большое количество семплов, использованных в альбоме.

Вскоре после выхода альбома исламская организация в Лондоне опротестовала использование семплов мусульманских песнопений в треке «Qu'ran», считая это богохульством. Бирн и Ино удалили трек из более поздних изданий.

Альбом My Life in the Bush of Ghosts был переиздан 27 марта 2006 года в Великобритании и 11 апреля 2006 года в США, с ремастерингом и семью дополнительными треками.

Критический прием

Джон Парелес из Rolling Stone назвал пластинку «бесспорно удивительным примером работы с плёнкой и ритмической изобретательности». Критик Village Voice Роберт Кристгау был менее впечатлён, посчитав запись «загромождёной и ничем не примечательной». Критик AllMusic Джон Буш описывает альбом как «новаторскую работу для бесчисленных стилей, связанных с электроникой, эмбиентом и этнической музыкой».

В интервью 1985 года певица Кейт Буш сказала, что пластинка «оставила большой след в популярной музыке». Клавишник Pink Floyd Рик Райт вспоминал, что «был сбит с толку, когда впервые услышал альбом, полный барабанных лупов, семплов и звуковых сцен»; всё, что позже стало считаться само собой разумеющимся, на момент выхода альбома звучало очень свежо и прогрессивно.

Q: Adding multiple gestures on a view, not working I'm trying to add multiple gestures onto a view. I have successfully got them to work separately, but when I combine, only one ends up working, what am I doing incorrectly?
The first gesture I'm adding is a Scale Gesture:
public class MyScaleGestures implements View.OnTouchListener, ScaleGestureDetector.OnScaleGestureListener {
        private View view;
        private ScaleGestureDetector gestureScale;
        private float scaleFactor = 1;
        private boolean inScale = false;

        public MyScaleGestures (Context c){ gestureScale = new ScaleGestureDetector(c, this); }

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
            this.view = view;
            gestureScale.onTouchEvent(event);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
            scaleFactor *= detector.getScaleFactor();
            Log.d(TAG, "onScale: " + scaleFactor);
            view.setScaleX(scaleFactor);
            view.setScaleY(scaleFactor);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onScaleBegin(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onScaleEnd(ScaleGestureDetector detector) { inScale = false; }
    }

and my second Gesture is a SimpleOnGestureListener:
 private class FlingGestureDetector extends GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener {
            @Override
            public boolean onScroll(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float distanceX, float distanceY) {

                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {

                return true;
            }
        }

Combining both into one class:
public class OnSwipeTouchListener implements View.OnTouchListener, ScaleGestureDetector.OnScaleGestureListener {

        private final GestureDetector gestureDetector;
        private ScaleGestureDetector gestureScale;

        private OnSwipeTouchListener(Context context) {
            gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(context, new FlingGestureDetector());
            gestureScale = new ScaleGestureDetector(context, this);
        }

        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
            gestureScale.onTouchEvent(event);
            return true;
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
            Log.d(TAG, "onScale: " + detector.getScaleFactor());
            return false;
        }

and using it:
sceneView.setOnTouchListener(new OnSwipeTouchListener(this));
After combining them, only one the first gesture ends up working (gestureDetector). How can I get both to listen onto the view?
When combining them, the onScale method is never called when performing the pinch action in gestureScale. But it works seperately when I don't include the other gesture.

A: You need to wrap all your gestures on one OnTouchListener class and implement your logic.
In the below example, I missed all arguments. and you should provide all of them by your requirement.
import android.view.GestureDetector;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.ScaleGestureDetector;
import android.view.View;

class MyGesture implements View.OnTouchListener {
    private View view;
    private MyDetector myDetector;

    private ScaleGestureDetector scaleDetector;
    private GestureDetector gestureDetector;

    public MyGesture(View view, MyDetector myDetector) {
        this.view = view;
        this.myDetector = myDetector;

        initialGestures();
    }

    private void initialGestures() {
        scaleDetector = new ScaleGestureDetector(
                view.getContext(),
                new ScaleGestureDetector.SimpleOnScaleGestureListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
                        myDetector.onScale();
                        return true;
                    }
                });

        gestureDetector = new GestureDetector(
                view.getContext(),
                new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
                    @Override
                    public boolean onFling(MotionEvent e1, MotionEvent e2, float velocityX, float velocityY) {
                        myDetector.onFling();
                        return false;
                    }
                });
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        gestureDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
        scaleDetector.onTouchEvent(event);
        return true;
    }

    interface MyDetector {
        void onScale();

        void onFling();
    }
}

and use it:
myView.setOnTouchListener(new MyGesture(myView, new MyGesture.MyDetector() {
    @Override
    public void onScale() {
        // do sth
    }

    @Override
    public void onFling() {
        // do sth
    }
}));

A last roll of the dice on final day at GKA Gran Canaria
On Saturday, the women made it through to the final rounds of the competition where Mikaili Sol overcame fellow Brazilian Bruna Kajiya to take her first event win of the 2019 GKA Kite World Tour season.
An attempt was also made to run the final three men's heats, but the wind just wasn't strong enough and because the men's division had already been whittled down to the final eight riders (and they would all be guaranteed a joint first place finish even if no further heats were run) the focus had instead been on finishing the women's competition.
On Sunday though, on the final day of the event window, it all came down a last ditch effort to reach the men's final. With clear skies and none of the clouds that had been suppressing the wind this week, things were looking positive.
Unfortunately though, at 19:00 after a long day of waiting, it was clear the wind just was not going to reach the required strength for the men to hit the water.
The riders would not be able to compete to see who would become the first ever male champion of the GKA Freestyle World Cup Gran Canaria.
However, there is still an official result from the men's division and the below eight riders will all share first place rankings (and an equal share of the prize money) from this event.

The U.S. formally blamed Islamic State—rather than the Taliban—for last week's attack on a maternity ward in Kabul. We already knew IS was responsible, but the U.S. is hoping its formal fingerpointing can convince the Afghan government to negotiate with the Taliban, rather than go on the offensive against it for an attack it wasn't responsible for.
The Moscow Times estimates that over 60% of deaths among COVID-19 patients in Moscow are not being counted in the city's death toll, which may suggest Russia is underreporting more broadly.
InSight Crime reports that Venezuelans in border regions are smuggling gasoline from Colombia and Brazil, where it sells for around one-third the Venezuelan price.
Venezuela needs around 150,000 bpd but because its refineries are in disrepair, it only produces 40,000 bpd—and must import the rest. Iran is sending some, but U.S. sanctions are hampering legal flows of imports, so there's a severe shortage in Venezuela…which is why prices have jumped from being among the world's cheapest to now being among its dearest.
Rosneft, Russia's largest oil producer, confirmed that it has discontinued all operations in Venezuela to avoid running afoul of U.S. sanctions. Rosneft said it would sell its assets in Venezuela back in March (albeit to a company wholly owned by the Russian government); it has now quit all JVs and trading activities there, too.
There are reports of a major Boko Haram offensive against a Nigerien military base in Diffa that originated on the Nigerian side of the border, but the dust hasn't settled yet. Some local residents told reporters the offensive was easily rebuffed.
Yahoo Sports had a neat article on sports during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic: apparently professional baseball and college football seasons initially played on (with both players and fans in face masks), but eventually leagues started to cancel events with large expected turnouts. Article pasted below.
House Democrats pushed through a $3 trillion stimulus package, but Senate Republicans have already declared it a "totally unserious effort" and dead on arrival. Newsweek points out that the new bill includes more instances of "cannabis" than "job(s)."
JC Penney became the latest major U.S. retailer to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. It plans to close some stores and restructure the rest.
Italy said it would start easing travel restrictions within, into, and out of the country on June 3rd—right after a long national holiday weekend.
Félicien Kabuga, a Rwandan who was allegedly the main financier for the Hutu extremists who murdered 800,000 people during the 1994 genocide, was finally arrested in Asnières-sur-Seine, France, where he was living under a false identity. Kabuga was one of the most wanted outstanding genocide suspects, and the U.S. had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest.
Here's what sports looked like during the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic (Yahoo)
The COVID-19 pandemic has halted all sporting events, as well as every other large gathering in the United States, and fans are wondering how and when games will return.
It's worth it to look back at what sports looked like during the 1918 influenza pandemic, commonly called the Spanish flu. That pandemic lasted 15 months and killed an estimated 50 to 100 million people worldwide, including approximately 675,000 Americans, according to HISTORY. More than 500 million people — about one-third of the population— were infected around the world.
What did MLB look like during the 1918 Spanish Flu?
Flu masks were common in 1918 and 1919 during the influenza pandemic. Even MLB players, umpires and managers wore them during games.

Though the first case of the flu appeared in the United States in March 1918, the MLB season began as scheduled on April 16 and completed most of its slate. It cut one month off the end of the season and ended with Game 6 of the World Series on Sept. 11, which the Boston Red Sox won against the Chicago Cubs. The game played at Braves Field over Fenway Park due to the larger setting, and attendance was lower than usual.
But that game helped spread a new strain of the virus and caused a second wave of the influenza in the United States. In August, soldiers and sailors returned home from World War I and docked in Boston. Johnny Smith, a sports history professor at Georgia Tech and co-author of the new book, "War Fever: Boston, Baseball, and America in the Shadow of the Great War, told Forbes:
"And it's during this period when the Red Sox and Cubs are playing the World Series that these social gatherings – three games at Fenway Park, a draft registration drive, a Liberty Loan parade – all of those events and the regular interactions that people had on streetcars and in saloons and so on helped spread the virus," Smith continued. "And Boston becomes really the epicenter of the outbreak in September of 1918."
The 1919 MLB season started one week later than it had the year before.
Was there a college football season in 1918?
The 1918 college football season also forged forward and changed the game for the next century to come.
"The football season of 1918 was one of the most peculiar in the whole history of the game and yet it will stand as an epoch-making one in the progress of the sport," Walter Camp wrote for the "Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide," per The Athletic.
Games didn't start until October and November and teams played a condensed season. At least 18 teams did not play college football that season. Charity games were also popular.

As with the MLB season, fans attending college football games wore masks as shown in these photos of a Georgia Tech game at Grant Field in 1918. Thomas Carter was an undergraduate at the time and took the photographs. He passed them down and now his great grandson, Georgia Tech graduate Andy McNeil, can look back at them with Carter's handwriting on the back.

Other sports suffered a deeper impact. Once the flu began to expand exponentially with large crowds, high school games were canceled as was a high-profile boxing match between Jack Dempsey and Battling Levinsky. The 1919 Stanley Cup finals were canceled when players on both teams were hospitalized.

Yale football twins Derrek and Dustin Ross always a package deal

NEW HAVEN >> Dennis Ross walked into the kitchen around 6 a.m. one morning to find his two teenaged boys wrestling on the floor for the last Pop-Tart.
"Fistfights, pushing, shoving," Ross said. "I had to break up quite a few fights over the years."
Derrek and Dustin Ross, fraternal twins who could easily be mistaken as identical twins, would argue over who got to take a shower first or who would sit in the front seat of the car. To this day they still compete, whether it's weightlifting, grades or girls.
"Anything, it's a competition," Derrek said. "It drives our motivation in life."
COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAMEDAY
DARTMOUTH at YALE
• Where: Yale Bowl, New Haven
• When: Saturday, 1 p.m.
• Records: Dartmouth 2-1; Yale 3-0
• Internet: IvyLeagueDigitalNetwork.com
• Radio: WELI-960, WYBC-1340, WDRC-1360, WWCO-1240, WMMW-1470, WSNG-610
• What to look for: Yale has the highest-scoring offense in Division I. But the Bulldogs' spread attack will go up against one of the toughest defenses Yale will see this season in Dartmouth. Dartmouth has one of the top quarterbacks in the Ivy League in versatile Dalyn Williams. The Big Green have some talent on offense and will spread the field with receiver Ryan McManus and running back Kyle Bramble.
• Prediction: Dartmouth 35, Yale 31.
— Chris Hunn
But make no mistake, the bond they share is special.
Derrek and Dustin, from Cincinnati, Ohio, are best friends and do pretty much everything together. They are both economics majors. They take classes and room together as well. And they play football for Yale, too.
The Ross twins are junior offensive linemen for the Bulldogs, doing their part for what is the top-ranked scoring offense in Division I. Derrek, Dustin and Yale are looking to improve to 4-0 today when they host Dartmouth (2-1) at 1 p.m. at the Yale Bowl.
They have been playing football together since second grade, always on the same team and always on the offensive line. Derrek is a backup left guard and Dustin is the second-string center.
Derrek stepped in for injured right guard Mason Friedline and came up huge in Yale's win over Army a couple weeks ago. Head coach Tony Reno describes both as hard-working, physical and smart players. They both stand 6 feet, 3 inches and weigh about 270 pounds.
"I really can't tell the difference," Reno said. "Some points in the year, they have different haircuts. Then one of their girlfriends told me one has a dimple and the other doesn't. But I don't get them to smile often, so I don't get to see that."
Reno isn't the only one. Most teammates can't tell the difference either. In high school, Derrek played right guard and Dustin played right tackle. The practice jerseys didn't have numbers on them, so they would switch positions and the coaches would never know.
Occasionally they would switch classes in high school, both admitted with a smile. The teachers could never tell them apart.
There are a couple of subtle differences. Derrek has a freckle on his lip and the back of his ear. Dustin has a scar from a dog bite on his left cheek.
Schools like Notre Dame, Cincinnati and Duke expressed interest in one or the other, but they made it clear to coaches the Ross brothers came as a package deal. They wanted to stay together.
They have the same pad level and similar foot speed. They also seem to have a sixth sense.
"I know when he's leaving for a block," Dustin explained. "And he does the same."
Off the field, when one finishes a book he passes it on to his brother. And Derrek and Dustin regularly finish each other's sentences. When they were young, their father would put up math problems on an old chalkboard. They would solve them together and were doing algebra by second grade.
Now Derrek and Dustin are working toward their degree at one of the most prestigious universities in the country, and helping in the resurgence of the Bulldogs' storied football program.
It seems only fitting they are sharing that experience together.

Release-Sce-Forte is a 100% Natural healing medicine. The complex cognitive formula's benefits are way more than just a quick fix, although Release does start to work within 30 minutes after you've taken it.
Release-Sce-Forte is a 100% Natural healing medicine.
The complex cognitive formula's benefits are way more than just a quick fix, although Release does start to work within 30 minutes after you've taken it.
The Release formula has been upgraded twice since we started back in 2012. Many clients that's been using this wonderful product will agree that the formula worked perfectly well. However we felt we needed to add more important minerals to the original formula to improve the cognitive function even more. We have been taking so much care during our extraction and manufacturing process, having wanted to transform Release into that one product that stood out above all the rest.
We are very proud of this product and we are sure many more lives will be changed.
it relieves ADHD and ADD symptoms with great success.
it assist in recovering healthy sleeping patterns to leave you feeling more focused, relaxed, alert and equipped to tackle the issues associated with everyday life.
The main ingredient in Release is a pure Sceletium Tortuosum extract. Sceletium is proven as a natural and effective, selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI) and have shown some SNRI properties too.
Release has a 50mg pure extract with 3.9% standarized alkaloids (actives).
The mood elevating action of sceletium is caused by a number of alkaloids including mesembrine, mesembrenol and tortuosamine which interact with the brain's dopamine and serotonin receptors. Mesembrine is a major alkaloid present in Sceletium. Mesembrine has been demonstrated to be a potent serotonin-uptake inhibitor and serotonin releasing agent.
Chromium Picolinate is a trace mineral that facilitates the absorption of glucose into brain cells. This is a very critical function because glucose is the sole source of energy of the brain. Without enough glucose, the individual experiences irritability and difficulty concentrating.
Chromium Picolinate also helps stabilize blood sugar. This ensures that the brain receives a constant, regular supply of glucose.
Zinc Picolinate improves memory and cognition and boosts your immune health and increases physical performance, among many other benefits.
Selenium AAC is also a trace mineral. It helps create proteins called antioxidant enzymes, which allow the body to eliminate toxins naturally – the presence of toxins in the bloodstream is also a trigger for ADHD.
Magnesium oxide plays a role in over 300 enzymatic reactions within the body, including the metabolism of food, synthesis of fatty acids and proteins, and the transmission of nerve impulses. Magnesium deficiency is found more frequently in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than in healthy children. Low Magnesium levels can also lead to changes in your mood and personality as well as increase your risk of depression. Some signs might include mental numbness, a lack of feeling emotions and increased feelings of anxiety, irritability and difficulty concentrating.
The feedback and families who's lives has been changed says it all, Release SCE Forte can help you too.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have adamantly shielded their children from the unrelenting glare of the public eye in the hope that they might live a normal childhood, which I can wholeheartedly respect. It is for precisely this reason that I refuse to publish paparazzi photos of Prince George and Princess Charlotte on my blog. However, the official pictures released by Kensington Palace-and often taken by mum Kate herself- have offered brief glimpses into the lives of the Cambridges. From these photos and from tidbits of information that William and Kate have given to the public one can gather some sense of what life must be like growing up a royal child. I personally love to look at baby and children's toys because I think they are sweet. I also think it is fun to imagine the types of toys and accessories that may be found in the royal nursery at Anmer Hall. So here is a fun little blog discussing George and Charlotte's favorite things for those of you lucky enough to have children in your life to shop for!
In one of the sweet pictures that Kate took of Charlotte when she was about six months old Charlotte can be seen holding a Jellycat "Fuddle Wuddle" puppy, which happens to be one of her favorite toys. I love her toothless smile as she looks at her puppy with glee! The same exact puppy may no longer be available but there are some similar ones that babies would love just as much. Jellycat is an English company and their stuffed animals are very soft and meant to be appropriate for children of all ages including very small babies like Charlotte.
Here is a brown puppy very similar to Charlotte's.
Jellycat also produces sweet baby books that are meant as companion pieces to the stuffed animals. One of the stuffed toys plus a matching book would make a really sweet baby shower gift.
And here is the adorable matching stuffed animal! Too cute.
And another matching book! I wonder if Charlotte has some of the books to match her stuffed dog?
Besides dogs, Jellycat also makes some other adorable animals. There are too many for me to list all of them here so I will just pick some of my favorites. I love this stuffed bunny with the cute contrasting pattern on the ears and paws. Perfect for a little girl.
I also have a soft spot for giraffes. I just love the pattern.
And what little girl doesn't love unicorns?
And look! It has a matching book, too!
For their Christmas photoshoot, the Cambridges posed outside. We can see that Prince George was playing with a wooden toy train on the ground near Prince William's foot. The train is by Orange Tree Toys, an English toy company that specializes in classic wooden toys. George's toy train is currently sold out yet I have found some other toys by the company that are very sweet and I wouldn't be surprised if they might be in the children's nursery.
First, there is this really cute dog push along that I can imagine George and Charlotte playing with. It's made by the same company that made George's train and is colorful yet classic.
They also have this cute wooden Noah's Ark set.
Since Kate seems to like to buy George and Charlotte wooden toys, I would also like to point out that one of my favorite American toys companies, Melissa and Doug, also makes some really sweet classic wooden toys. For example, since George's exact toy train is sold out, take a look at these wooden Melissa and Doug trains which are similar in style.
For her adorable 1st birthday shoot, Princess Charlotte showed off her walking skills with a Orange Tree Toy block push toy. Like the train that George was pictured playing with, this toy also sold out quickly. But here is a similar block pull toy by Melissa and Doug.
And Melissa and Doug also make a few cute wooden push toys that are meant to help encourage toddlers beginning to walk.
Back when Kate was pregnant with George a few years ago, she was seen out and about with her mom, Carole, purchasing some baby items at boutiques. This Moses basket sticks out in my mind when thinking about what items might be in George and Charlotte's nursery. I bet that both babies used this basket.
And while Kate purchased a Moses basket from a more exclusive and expensive boutique, I managed to find a pretty one from Kohl's for a reasonable price.

She wasn't aware of the disease's symptoms at the time, thinking he just had a fluey bug. Claire, 32, said: "He woke up with a bit of a headache on the Friday and had been sick. He also said his little toe hurt.
"I didn't think anything was seriously wrong. Because he had asthma and fell ill quite easily, I went to the chemist and got some Calpol.
"In the evening we saw a bruise on his foot and thought that explained the sore toe. I didn't realise it could be a sign of septicaemia."
Liam then woke up in the early hours of Saturday morning and asked for the doctor because his headache was so bad.
A rash had started to develop when the doctor arrived and Liam was rushed to hospital. Liam died two days later, when his life-support machine had to be switched off, leaving his family heartbroken. He died from the dangerous meningococcal septicaemia form of the disease, which leads to death in a tenth of cases.
It occurs when meningococcal bacteria enter the blood stream and multiply uncontrollably, poisoning the blood and completely overwhelming the immune system.
Claire said: "Unfortunately we didn't catch it in time. It was just like he had a cold until the latter stages of the disease, which is why it's so important people are vigilant to all the symptoms - not just the rash.
"Ultimately, I want Meningitis Now to find a vaccine for Meningitis B but until then I'm going to do my upmost to educate people."

Q: Django: How to save data to ManyToManyField? I have a question concerning the following model. I want to populate the ManyToManyField from views.py instead of doing it from the Admin.
But how do I add data to the genres field which is the ManyToManyField?
views.py
content = Movie_Info(id = m_id,
                    title = data[0].get('title'),
                    overview = data[0].get('overview'),
                    release_date = data[0].get('release_date'),
                )
content.save()

models.py
class Movie_Info_genre(models.Model):
    genre = models.CharField(max_length=100)

class Movie_Info(models.Model):
    id             = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    title          = models.CharField(max_length=100, blank=True, null=True)
    overview       = models.TextField(blank=True, null=True)
    release_date   = models.CharField(max_length=10, blank=True, null=True)
    genres         = models.ManyToManyField(Movie_Info_genre)

A: Use the add method for related fields:
# using Model.object.create is a shortcut to instantiating, then calling save()
myMoveInfo = Movie_Info.objects.create(title='foo', overview='bar')
myMovieGenre = Movie_Info_genre.objects.create(genre='horror')
myMovieInfo.genres.add(myMoveGenre)

Unlike modifying other fields, both models must exist in the database prior to doing this, so you must call save before adding the many-to-many relationship. Since add immediately affects the database, you do not need to save afterwards.


With the new mini-album 'Morgondröm' (Morning Dream) LEHNBERG dives into a mental musical calmness where the rhythm driven soundscapes now completely been switched out for the stillness of the sun's first silky morning rays which creates a silhouette to the dream like music.
The modern ambient sounds on Morgondröm can be described as a fusion of the softest of sound worlds, meditative states and thoughtfulness, where David's wayward musicality is highly present and on display. That allows the experimental side of things to play a more audible role in both space and time.
In very short time David Lehnberg made a name for himself with his experimental electroica soloprojekt LEHNBERG, both as an energetic live artist and someone who delivers EPs and remixes with huge range both musically and geographically speaking. David has traveled around the world numerous time on his own and as one of the two members of the indietronica band The Deer Tracks, and this is where his musical inspiration comes streaming from.


RoyalHearts celebrates and seeks the restoration of Real America, the land truly blessed by God. Real America is the land pre-destined centuries ago to be "New Christendom," the development of which was the intent and the duty of the old European Catholic Monarchs, notably of France and Spain. The goal of RoyalHearts specifically, being inspired by Traditional French Catholicism, is the renaissance of Catholic and Royal France in America that we might fulfill at long last God's design for this continent, a design disrupted now for several centuries.
It is a reasonable hypothesis that the vast majority of Catholics in America fall subject to the great heresy of our age: Americanism, which is no more than an extension of the world's admiration for the Beast which adores the Red Dragon through Lucifer's formal, visible religion of Freemasonry and its Protestant sects. It would appear that most Catholics have no issue with such anti-Catholic, Luciferian, Protestant ideas such as "rule by the Will of the People" as opposed to the Will of God; "freedom of religion"; and "Separation of Church and State," all of which are designed precisely for the purpose of destroying Our Lord Jesus Christ's Church on earth, the Holy Roman Catholic Church.
The solution is the resumption of Christendom's call to bring the "New World" to Christ through his only Church on earth, the Holy Catholic Church. Thus the Royal Heart is one that seeks the renaissance of Catholic and Royal France in America along with the renaissance of Catholic and Royal Spain, and the renaissance of Catholic Monarchs throughout Europe.

A recent report by Flurry Analytics showed a growth of 115% for mobile apps last year, with growth of every categories of apps. Messaging apps led the pack with a growth of 203% with even news and magazine apps growing by 31%.
This may come as little surprise to those who are familiar with the growth of smartphones, but the numbers are still astronomical.
Flurry's tracking defines each app use as "launching an app and recording what Flurry defines as a session." For Flurry alone, there were 4.7 billion app sessions each day, or, 1.126 trillion sessions for the entire year. That's a lot of apps being used.

ABSTRACT: Proctor2017 - Identifying microRNA for muscle regeneration during ageing (Mir143_in_muscle) This model is described in the article: Using computer simulation models to investigate the most promising microRNAs to improve muscle regeneration during ageing Carole J. Proctor & Katarzyna Goljanek-Whysall Scientific Reports Abstract: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression through interactions with target sites within mRNAs, leading to enhanced degradation of the mRNA or inhibition of translation. Skeletal muscle expresses many different miRNAs with important roles in adulthood myogenesis (regeneration) and myofibre hypertrophy and atrophy, processes associated with muscle ageing. However, the large number of miRNAs and their targets mean that a complex network of pathways exists, making it difficult to predict the effect of selected miRNAs on age-related muscle wasting. Computational modelling has the potential to aid this process as it is possible to combine models of individual miRNA:target interactions to form an integrated network. As yet, no models of these interactions in muscle exist. We created the first model of miRNA:target interactions in myogenesis based on experimental evidence of individual miRNAs which were next validated and used to make testable predictions. Our model confirms that miRNAs regulate key interactions during myogenesis and can act by promoting the switch between quiescent/proliferating/differentiating myoblasts and by maintaining the differentiation process. We propose that a threshold level of miR-1 acts in the initial switch to differentiation, with miR-181 keeping the switch on and miR-378 maintaining the differentiation and miR-143 inhibiting myogenesis.

We propose that a threshold level of miR-1 acts in the initial switch to differentiation, with miR-181 keeping the switch on and miR-378 maintaining the differentiation and miR-143 inhibiting myogenesis.

Costa Rican beaches on both the Caribbean and Pacific play host to turtles, be it leatherback, loggerhead, hawksbill or olive ridley turtles. They return to their birthplace to lay their own eggs as the circle of life continues. If you time it right, you may see the little hatchlings emerge from their nests and make a beeline for the shore. A beautiful sight to behold.
The enormous leatherback is the largest of all turtles. The average adult weighs in at a staggering 270 to 360 kg and will grow between 1.5 and 1.8 metres in length. It takes its name from the smooth, tough leathery skin they have in place of a shell. Of all turtles, the leatherback has a largest range and they are known to inhabit the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. Despite conservation efforts their numbers are declining – whilst Costa Rica makes every effort to protect their nests and limit human interference when they are on land, they are often caught up in commercial fishing equipment such as nets and lines. This has led to them being classed as 'Vulnerable' on the IUCN Red List.
Smaller than leatherback turtles, but still pretty impressive, are the loggerhead turtles, growing up to 1.2 metres in length and weighing 180kg. They have a large head (hence the name) and strong jaw, much of their diet consists of crabs and whelks. Their range is almost as large as the leatherback and they are found in every ocean. They are also declining in numbers, mainly as a result of getting caught up in commercial fishing nets and lines. They are listed as 'Endangered' on the IUCN Red List.
The hawksbill turtle has the most beautiful shell, marked with intricate patterns. Adult hawksbills weigh in at 45-90kg and will grow to approximately 0.5 to 1 metre in length. They are found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. They feed mainly on sponges and often inhabit coral reefs, mangroves and rocky areas. Once hunted to near extension for their shells, numbers have increased slightly since a ban on turtle products was introduced. Hawksbills are 'Critically Endangered' on the IUCN Red List.
The olive ridley turtles, named after their pale green shell, are the smallest you are likely to see in Costa Rica, and the most common. They weigh between 35-45 kgs and grow to about 0.6 metres. They will come ashore in large numbers to nest and it's quite a sight to behold. It is thought that these mass nestings coincide with weather patterns and the moon cycle. Despite what may look like healthy numbers, these turtles are listed as 'Vulnerable' on the IUCN Red List.


2016, New London Architecture 'Don't Move, Improve!' Awards "Overall Winner" and "Most Innovative"
This project involved the extension and refurbishment of a typical London end-of-terrace house. Its rear façade incorporates the exterior wall of a previous, structurally unsound extension. The architect sought to retain in the new structure a memory of the previous structure and its construction, and the facade now records a 'trace' of the old extension through the outline of its typical sloped roof profile. Even the cracks caused by historical movement have been retained, now displayed within the corridor of the extension as a marker of the house's history.
The extension's structure has been left exposed where possible, and steel beams with bolted moment connections articulate the new façade and frame extensive glazing. A glazed light well connects the rear of the existing building and the extension, allowing light into the home's communal areas.
House of Trace has been widely publicised and won numerous awards, including the 2016 RIBA Stephen Lawrence Prize as well as a RIBA National Award.

Digging Tulip Bulbs – Why Do This?
July 31, 2022 July 31, 2022 / By Mark
Sometimes I think, I did plant tulips there, where are they? Well my dears this may be because I forgot to get the bulbs out of the ground 🙁.
Tulips bring us spring, but it's over after just a few weeks. The rest of the tulip is rather a boring sight.
What happens after the flowering?
Finally spring and then after a few weeks the flowering of the tulip is history. One is temptation to cut the leaves of the tulip.
I would strongly advise against this. Because the following year flowering will not occur. However, dried up flower stalks may be cut off with pleasure.
If you remove the withered stems of the tulips in time, they can no longer form flower seeds.
form. All the power flows back into the bulb, which will help you and which is very good for you and the bulb in the following year.
Tulips store all the power and thus create an
energy stock for the next year.
Of course, this takes a certain time, so you should not be
hastily reach for the scissors. The foliage is cut only when
green areas are no longer visible and the leaves are withered.
are withered.
Another tip for you:
If you forget to remove the foliage, they will begin to rot and attract pests.
Why dig up tulip bulbs?
One answer is, for example, that you no longer need to look at the withered foliage in your garden. But is not the only answer to this questionThe bulbs of tulips are not planted too deep into the ground when they are planted in the fall.
In most cases, this hinders further gardening in the spring.
By digging around, a spade can accidentally split or dig up the bulbs.
There are 2 main advantages to this
The withered foliage is no longer found in the bed.
The bulbs are stored in the dry so they can be replanted in the fall.
Sometimes you feel like you had a lot more tulips in your garden. Is that the case with you? Is it because you didn't dig up the bulbs. Tulips have a way of digging themselves deeper and deeper into the ground. At some point they are so deep in the ground that they can no longer come to the surface.

When you schedule an appointment with a property tax attorney, you need to go to his office prepared. If you do not take along all the necessary documents and information, your first visit may be a waste of time and money, necessitating a return trip with added fees. When you call the property tax attorney, you need to give your full name, property address, and how to contact you if needed. Being prepared is very important when dealing with any tax information.
The lawyer needs to know everything about you in order to help. You may even need to supply information about your business if you have issues with a commercial property. The attorney needs to know you completely to be able to represent you to their best of their abilities. Many property tax attorneys will have you fill out an extensive questionnaire before arriving at their office to cut down on time spent getting to know each other. This benefits you and the attorney. The more information the attorney has about you before the first meeting the faster you can get down to business.
You will want to bring a copy of your past years property tax bill and the current year property tax bill. This is needed if you are having any issues with your tax bill. If you have a home or a commercial property, you will want to have all documentation pertaining to the building itself. If you are concerned about high property taxes or even the assessed value, you might even save time and find some information about other properties with equal fair market value that are lower or even higher than your property. The more information you have, the faster the meeting will progress. This is important if you are trying to save some time and money.
You may even have your own questions for a property tax attorney to help you decide if he or she is qualified to help you with your tax issues. You may want to know if the attorney has handled any cases similar to your case, how many of the cases were won and lost, as well as what expertise he or she has in the field of property taxes. You may also want to know what the attorney thinks your chances are of winning your case after going over all the details with you.
When you hire a property tax attorney, you want someone that will be there to represent you and tell you the facts no matter if it is good news or bad news. Once you establish a good relationship with a tax attorney, you should have a truthful working arrangement. The tax attorney can take you step by step through the processes that are needed for your particular tax issues and tell you approximately how long it should take to resolve any issues. Once everything has started, you should not switch attorneys or it could upset the process up to that point.

This is going to be the first of a slew of credit card comparison posts. I am choosing from the list of suggestions from a previous post. If you have other ideas, please leave us a comment in that post.
Today, we start with the comparison between the Chase Marriott Rewards Premier Visa and the American Express Starwood Preferred Guest Credit Card. Let's start with the highlights of each respective cards and then breakdown each factor. As promised, I will discuss tangible and intangible factors.
Both credit cards have a standard $120 annual fee. The first difference comes with the Chase card offering the first year fee waived. As for the supplementary cardholders, AMEX charges the additional $50 per authorized user, minus a first year fee waiver.
On a side note, you can get $30 cash back if you sign up for the AMEX SPG through the GreatCanadianRebates site.
I value one SPG point at 2.4 cents a piece (probably a little conservative anyway) compared to one Marriot Rewards point at 0.8 cents a piece. So a 20,000 sign up bonus with SPG, is worth $480 compared to $350 with the 50,000 Marriott Reward points sign up bonus.
AMEX now has a once in a lifetime sign up bonus. Chase currently has a 6 months waiting period. These rules change all the time. I can't see Chase keeping this alive too much longer. So either get it while you still can, or keep the card, you will find that the benefits that it offers actually does justify the annual fee (as I will explain later).
There is no debate here. AMEX SPG offers a 10,000 referral bonus (upon approval) to family and friends, up to a maximize of 15 referrals (or 150,000 bonus points) per calendar year. Chase has yet to offer this option.
As I mentioned earlier, I value 1 SPG point at 2.4 cents per point compared to 0.7 cents per point with Marriott.
So with the 5 point per dollar spent at Marriott Hotels worldwide, you are earning 3.5 cents per point. While with SPG, they are currently running a promotion where you can earn 2 point per dollar at Marriott Hotels, which comes out to 4.8 cents per point. There's no question that the earning ratios are much better with the AMEX SPG overall.
With Chase Marriott being a Visa card, versus an American Express, Visa will have an edge as they are more widely accepted at retailers.
The Chase Marriott allows you to earn 15 nights credit every year, which automatically gets you Silver elite status (10 nights requirement). While the AMEX SPG only grants you Gold status after a $30,000 spend requirement. Obviously SPG Gold is worth more than Marriott Silver. However, I give the edge to the company that makes it easier to qualify for any type of elite status more easily.
The Chase Marriott offers an anniversary bonus free night stay at a Category 1-5 hotel every year (valid for 12 months). While the AMEX SPG has a $40,000 annual spend requirement to receive a Free Weekend Night Award. Of course the Free Weekend Night Award with SPG is way more valuable than the anniversary bonus free night with Marriott. However, once again, the edge has to go to the company who makes it easier to receive a free voucher.
Between the two cards, only the Chase Marriott offers no foreign transaction fees, so this is an easy one.
Based on my research, it appears that it is easier to receive a retention bonus (read about our tips to negotiate retention bonuses) with the AMEX SPG (e.g. annual fee rebate or bonus points). Keep in mind that the Chase Marriott already offers an automatically anniversary free night, along with the 15 elite status credits, without any spend requirement. These two perks to me are already worth the $120 annual fee anyway. So it will definitely be more difficult to negotiate with Chase than with AMEX SPG.
To improve your chances of getting a better retention bonus with SPG, just put more spending on it so that your card is more profitable to them. Also negotiate in good faith. Threatening to cancel your card is not the way to go, because credit card companies don't want a client who is going to jump ship so easily anyway. They make enough money without you. So keep that in mind!
If you absolutely only want one of the two, I would go for the AMEX SPG at the moment. The reason is because they have a higher chance of being shut down at the moment than the Chase Marriott, because of the recent buyout (Marriott buying SPG). However, I am also worried that Chase Canada has a very fragile position in Canada.
Either way, as you can see, overall, both credit cards offer some different benefits. And both are at risk of being discontinued in Canada. So if you want the truth, I would say get BOTH!
I wonder what will happen to the AMeX once Marriott & SPG finalize their merge. While I hope AMeX stays in the picture, it would be surprising if/when the points change to a common denominator.
I always try to have both – because the Marriott card can be uselful in a Europe for spending w/o the interest charged for international fees. Yet, the SPG can be so profitable if you know someone to team with (referrals are golden) that THaT alone makes it better.
Definitely going to be following this story closely!
I thought that the Marriott credit card was not churnable.
YMMV. You can always try your luck after a 6 months or 12 months waiting period. Worse case, when you call in to activate, find out what you qualified for before actually activating it.
I thought the SPG Amex's annual fee was $95? Did this go up?!
With my recollection, I have never seen it at $95. Always been $120. Could you be referring to a card from another country?
Data point for those with limited Canadian credit history: I moved to Montreal four months ago. I was able to get the Amex SPG right away through the global transfer program. Last week, I was denied for the Chase Marriott card. Upon calling Chase Canada, the representative stated that you needed a minimum of two years of Canadian credit history to be approved for this card.
Thanks for the data point! Yes some credit card companies want a longer credit history. It's good that you started building some.
Interesting I received an offer to apply for the Chase Marriott Card. My credit score is good and I do have the Amex SPG.
Having the Amex Platinum. I was thinking in just keeping the Chase for the anniversary free night to offset the AF.
Since most of my spending goes to the Amex Platinum. I am thinking in churning the SPG.. thoughts?
YMMV for SPG as their official rule is once in a lifetime sign up bonus. The only thing it would cost you to try anyway is a credit hit. And yes, if you can take advantage of the Chase Marriott perks, then keep the card! Especially if you can also earn 5x on Marriott purchases.
You value Marriott points at 0.7 cents and those of SPG at 2.4. I think the value ratio should be 1:3 since you can transfer the points between the two programs at this rate.
Good point Ahmad. I just increased it to 0.8. Thanks!

Cancer Therapeutics CRC and QIMR Collaborate to Discover and Develop Novel Drugs for Cancer Treatment
News Dec 20, 2007
Cancer Therapeutics CRC Pty Ltd and the Queensland Institute of Medical Research (QIMR) have announced a collaboration to discover and develop new drugs for the treatment of many forms of cancer, based on exciting new findings in the field of DNA repair.
Drs Kum Kum Khanna and Derek Richard in the Cancer and Cell Biology Division at QIMR have discovered a new protein target that is critical to the genetic repair processes that promote cancer cell survival and keep them replicating.
By discovering small molecules that inhibit this protein, Cancer Therapeutics CRC hopes to develop novel drugs that may stop cancers from growing and promote cancer cell death. If successful, such drugs against this target could be a major step forward in the treatment of a whole range of different cancers.
Although this collaboration is at a very early stage, and the prospect of developing a drug based on this research is far from certain, it is very encouraging that this type of collaborative commercialization of academic research in Australia is beginning to flourish.
Indeed, it is this type of collaboration, between one of Australia's leading research institutes, QIMR, and Cancer Therapeutics CRC, which is the primary reason for the establishment of Cancer Therapeutics CRC: that of linking Australia's reputation in leading edge biological research with the development of new drugs and treatments for cancer patients on a worldwide basis.
Dr Julian Clark, Melbourne-based CEO of Cancer Therapeutics CRC, says, "We are delighted to be collaborating with QIMR on this exciting project so early in the life of Cancer Therapeutics CRC. This collaboration, with one of the leading research institutes in Australia, is the first project outside of our initial 'core' of participants.
It demonstrates the attractiveness of our comprehensive drug discovery and development capabilities and our ability to work with leading researchers such as Drs. Khanna and Richard at QIMR to bring their ideas into the world of cancer drug development.
We expect that such collaborations between biological researchers and our drug developers can make a real impact on the treatment of cancer".
Dr Kum Kum Khanna commented that the biology of the molecule that has been discovered appears to make it an extremely valuable target for therapeutic intervention. Dr Khanna continues: "We are delighted to collaborate with Cancer Therapeutics CRC to translate our laboratory based findings into drug candidates for the clinic."
Genetic Study Suggests Anorexia Nervosa Is at Least Partly a Metabolic Disorder
A large-scale genome-wide association study, undertaken by over 100 academics worldwide, identified eight genetic variants linked to anorexia nervosa. The results suggest that the genetic origins of the disorder are both metabolic and psychiatric.
Molecular biologists long thought that domains in the genome's 3D organization control how genes are expressed. After studying highly rearranged chromosomes in fruit flies, researchers now reveal that while this is the case for some genes, their results challenge the generality of this for many others.

U.S. Soccer and Jill Ellis Agree to Multi-Year Contract Extension
Women's World Cup Champion Coach Will Lead USA into 2016 Olympic Qualifying and Prepare for the 2019 Women's World Cup in France
CHICAGO (Aug. 5, 2015) – The U.S. Soccer Federation has agreed to a multi-year contract extension with 2015 Women's World Cup champion head coach Jill Ellis.
"When we hired Jill, we all knew the great challenge that was ahead of her and the team," said U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati. "She met that challenge with tremendous passion and knowledge to win what was perhaps the most difficult Women's World Cup tournament in history. As we look towards the Rio Olympics and build towards the 2019 World Cup in France, we think Jill is the ideal person to lead the next generation of the Women's National Team."
Ellis, 48, took over as head coach of the U.S. team on May 16, 2014, with five months to prepare for the CONCACAF Women's World Cup Qualifying tournament and just more than a year to get ready for the FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.
At the Women's World Cup, Ellis navigated the U.S. team through what was considered the most difficult of the tournament's six groups, finishing atop the "Group of Death" before winning three tightly contested elimination games – all by shutout – to make the Final.
In the epic championship game in Vancouver, the U.S. team defeated Japan by a 5-2 score, finding the net four times in the first 16 minutes, including a hat trick from Carli Lloyd, to obliterate the record for most goals in a Women's World Cup Final.
As the U.S. team heads into its 10-game Victory Tour this fall to celebrate its world title, Ellis has compiled an overall record of 29-2-9, which includes two stints as interim head coach (in 2012 and 2014).
"To watch our players achieve their dreams and continue to inspire fans across the country and the world was one of the most satisfying experiences of my coaching career," said Ellis. "Nothing is ever easy, and everything in this game is always earned, but I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to continue to work with these great players with the tremendous resources that U.S. Soccer dedicates to the women's game. We had a really exciting year, and we are looking forward to more exciting times ahead."
Ellis, who was an assistant for the 2008 and 2012 Olympic gold medal-winning squads, will now focus on the 10 matches in the fall as well as preparing the team for the CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying tournament slated to take place early in 2016.
"We are going to have some turnover on the National Team as we look towards the Olympics and the next Women's World Cup in France, but that's always part of the natural evolution," said Ellis. "It will be the job of the players and staff to keep up the world-class level of effort and intensity to meet the high expectations of this program. It's a challenge we are all looking forward to."
The first four matches of the U.S. Women's National Team Victory Tour have been announced with record sales thus far. The tour begins on Aug. 16 against Costa Rica at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh (1:30 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1). More than 39,000 tickets have been sold for that match. Three days later, the USA will play Costa Rica at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Aug. 19 (6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN2). That match is sold out, with over 20,000 fans expected to attend.
The USA will then face its Women's World Cup opening match opponent and eventual quarterfinalist Australia on Sept. 17 at Ford Field in Detroit (7 p.m. ET on FOX Sports 1) followed by a match on Sept. 20 at historic Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama (2 p.m. CT on ESPN2). More than 22,000 tickets have been sold for each of the matches.
Since winning the Women's World Cup, the USA has regained the top spot in the FIFA Women's World Rankings.
Ellis has a long history coaching in the U.S. Women's National Team programs. She served two stints as head coach of the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team, guiding the squad to the CONCACAF title and to the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Germany in 2010.
She earned her USSF "A" coaching license in January of 1996.
Ellis also served two stints as the head coach of the U.S. Under-21 Women's National Team, the second starting in the middle of 2005, after which she guided the team to the Nordic Cup in Sweden.
Ellis coached the U-21s to the Nordic Cup title in Germany in 2000.
She was a scout for the USA at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia.
Ellis took the position as U.S. Soccer Women's Development Director in January of 2011 (which she left to take the job as head coach of the U.S. WNT in 2014) after a highly successful 12-year run as the head women's soccer coach for the UCLA Bruins. She led UCLA to eight NCAA Final Fours, including seven in a row from 2003-2009, and won six straight conference titles from 2003-2008. She finished her time in Westwood with a record of 229-45-14.
She was also head coach at the University of Illinois and coached more than 300 Division I matches as a college coach. She has an all-time collegiate coaching record of 248-63-14.
Ellis grew up in Portsmouth, England, and came to the United States in 1981 at the age of 15. She also lived in Singapore for two years while her father, John, who was an assistant coach for the U.S. Women's National Team in 2000, helped to develop a national soccer program in that country.
A forward during her playing days at the College of William & Mary from 1984-87, Ellis was a Third-Team All-American in 1987.
In 1984, Ellis helped Virginia's Braddock Road to the Under-19 club national championship.
She earned her B.A. in English Literature and Composition from the College of William & Mary in 1988.
Ellis is the eighth head coach in U.S. Women's National Team history. The seven coaches that preceded her were Mike Ryan (1985), Anson Dorrance (1986-1994), Tony DiCicco (1994-1999), April Heinrichs (2000-2004), Greg Ryan (2005-2007), Pia Sundhage (2008-2012) and Tom Sermanni (2012-2014).
U.S. WNT vs. Costa Rica - 08/16/2015


When you schedule your newborn session there are a few very simple tips and tricks to keep in mind to help your photo session go as smooth and enjoyable as possible. A newborn session with us usually lasts 1:30- 2 hours so just keep that in mind when planning other things for that day as well.
Plan to arrive to your newborn session about 10 minutes early. The first trip out of the house with a new baby, especially if there are siblings can take some getting used to and is a bit of glorious chaos. There will probably be some messy noses, diapers that need to be changed or outfits that need to be changed so by arriving to your newborn photo session a few minutes early, this can help you to have a moment to get changed and breathe.
When picking out your outfits there are a couple things to keep in mind. First, you do not all need to match (i.e. all in white shirt and black pants). You should definitely go with neutrals, think creams, beige, greys etc. but not everybody looking exactly alike. The guys having jeans and a comfortable shirt is a great option! Girls in a comfortable dress, or blouse. Just remember think neutrals!
After picking out your outfits, be sure to have everyone try them on to ensure they fit well, look good together and are comfortable for everyone. This will also help ensure no one clashes with each other.
Pick out outfits that are comfortable. This is a fun family session and there is no need to dress in Sundays best for this type of session. Everyone will be happier and more compliant to participate when they are comfortable.
Have your baby dressed in a solid white onesie if you have it. If not, don't worry- we always keep extras.
If you have a sentimental bow or swaddle feel free to bring it, we may or may not use it. Remember these newborn sessions are very simple, organic, and natural. We focus as much as possible on the natural and simple beauty of a new family and new baby.
Once you book your session, with us or anyone else, you should expect an email with any other preparation tips from your photographer! I hope this helps you when planning your newborn photo session here in Highlands Ranch.
