Sometimes, a situation or scenario can catapult a character straight to layer 4. They won't be able to articulate the primary emotions involved because this particular mix is their unique brand of poison. This is most often shown to readers through internal dialogue.
Secondary emotions (such as anger, shame, anxiety, and love) are reactions to primary emotions. Secondary emotions demand the character DO SOMETHING because these emotions are intense and uncomfortable and feel out of control.
This is the observable part of primary and secondary emotions. This is where the fight, flight or freeze instinct would come in. Fear and surprise force a character to run away or fight back. Love forces them to hug or kiss.
In any given scene, your POVC could experience one or all of these emotional layers. Each layer may only be a couple of words – a sentence fragment. Just a word. Run! But readers will be pulled deeper into the story this way and take their own emotional journey—it may not be the same emotional journey as your POVC, but that's OK. Your goal is to make the reader feel.
That's a whirlwind summary of the emotional layers theory. Now, what many newer writers misunderstand about deep point of view is that each layer overlaps and is interconnected. These emotions and actions are not felt in isolation of one another. It's like a spider's web. Every intersection of the web is influenced by every other intersection. A tremor in a far corner of the web is felt throughout, right.
So, getting back to the original question—the why. Why your character does things is what pulls the reader in. Readers don't have to agree with your POVCs feelings or decisions, but they do have to understand them. In deep point of view, your POVC can't keep secrets from the reader.
"Let go of me," I say. I hear ringing in my ears. My voice sounds clear and stern—not what I expected to hear. I feel like it doesn't belong to me.
Here, you can follow Tris' thoughts to understand why her voice is clear when she should be scared. The reader understands why she feels the way she does, and in the next sentence we learn why she doesn't give in to this impulse. She's been raised to completely deny self, but in this moment of fear and surprise her ability to remain calm and have an action plan instead of just submitting to the abuse is a self-revelation and helps her make a decision.
There are plenty of readers who likely would never have this reaction to a homeless man grabbing them, but they cheer for Tris because they know this small tug is going to cause major reverb across the story web.
Make sure you come back next week where I'm going to take these concepts and explore the emotions of attraction and love and how this layering technique might work for you!
I've put together a free pdf for Writers in the Storm readers on the body language of attraction. You can get that here. Next Wednesday, I will be posting here at WITS on The Body Language of Love - Beyond Lust and Attraction.
I also have the free 5-day e course on writing emotions in layers that expands on the theory I've shared above.
July 1st is the release of Method Acting For Writers: Learn Deep Point Of View Using Emotional Layers. Subscribe to my blog or follow the Confident Writers page on Facebook for more details.
Is deep point of view something you feel you need to learn or learn more about? If you've mastered it already, what tips do you have to share?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Deep POV, and have trouble getting caught up in a story told from a distance, because I can't have that deep connection with the characters. (Although there are some exceptions, especially in some of the mystery series I love.) Thanks for showing the emotional connections.
Suzanne Brockmann turned me on to Deep POV years ago, and I've never looked back.
And this point is critical: "In deep point of view, your POVC can't keep secrets from the reader."
If you have more than one POV character, which is the norm in any romance sub-genre, choosing the POV character for any given scene is a powerful tool.
Yes!! No keeping secrets. But that doens't mean you can't have an unreliable narrator though. I loved Silverlining Playbook for that.
Thanks so much for having me! I love hanging out at WITS. The readers here are amazing!
Lisa, I read your blogs all the time. Love them! Thank you for sharing your insight and knowledge! Much appreciated.
Awesome! Glad you find the posts helpful.
Deep POV--the goal. Thanks for tools to help me get there, and harder (for me), stay there! I can't wait for next week, Lisa!
Next week is going to be awesome!! Don't miss it!
I'm with Fae, dipping into Deep POV is easier than staying in it. This post is so incredibly helpful!!
Is was helpful, Lisa, and I'm looking forward to your next!
I think of deep POV as seeing through the character's eyes, but really it's all those things you mention: primary & secondary emotions, triggers, and behavior. Thanks for sharing the layers, Lisa!
Thank you, an article that I can understand about Deep POV. Well written and clear, I can now say I understand it.
Hello. These are some very well explained details about Deep POV, and very helpful article. I think I do understand every part of Deep POV rules now, except one... the "filtering" words. Now, I know what kind of words are the "filters", and I do understand WHY are they bad choice in Deep POV, but what I don't understand is the fact that I still see them a lot in the Deep POV novels. You took the example from Divergent, and I couldn't help but wonder: doesn't author use "filtering" words in that very example? Tris uses "I say", "hear", "sound" and "know". I've heard those are typical "filtering" words and shouldn't be used in Deep POV in order to avoid distance, yet we see the example in which Tris uses them. This really confuses me. Am I missing something about "filter" words? Are there any specific rules as to when and where we can or can't use them? Also, I've read all Divergent books and I was really captured with writing style nevertheless, it was intimate similarly to The Hunger Games which I absolutely loved. Anyway, I'm sorry if my comment is long or confusing. To sum up my question shortly, why this specific example is allowed to have "filtering" words in it? Is it because it's Tris's direct thoughts? Is character's "voice" allowed to use "filter" words? And if that's so, then why and when? Thank you.
You are the God of your story. You can do anything you want! You pointed out to books that have them - the Epic Fantasy, Name of the Wind is positively chock full of them! That doesn't make your book bad.
But. Readers today are used to sharp, fast reads. They want an immersive experience. They want to BE your character! Filter words keep them at a distance - keep them from being in the character's skin.
She saw the mess in the living room, and saw how angry he was about it.
See how you've showed us what's going on, like in a movie?
The couch cushions were torn, the dirt from the potted plant, scattered across the carpet. Sean stood, staring, his face painted with anger.
Okay, that wasn't great, but see how the second puts you in the room? She is the POV character, so if you mention it, we KNOW it's because she saw it.
Neither is wrong, but the second brings the reader closer. See what I mean?

The Organisation of the Church of England
(thing) by aneurin Fri Jun 21 2002 at 20:28:26
Some basic information about the current organisation of the Church of England.
The Church of England is organised into two provinces;
Southern Province led by the Archbishop of Canterbury
Northern Province led by the Archbishop of York
with the reigning monarch as Supreme Governor of the Church of England, who technically is responsible for the appointment of all archbishops, bishops and deans of cathedrals on the advice of the Prime Minister. (In practice this means the Prime Minister decides, and is up to him or her how much notice they take of the Church's own opinion on the matter.)
The Church of England is episcopally led and synodically governed; which means that the two provinces are divided into 44 dioceses, (43 of which are in England and one, the Diocese in Europe, which isn't) each of which is headed by a diocesan bishop providing the spiritual leadership (assisted by a further 64 suffragan bishops) , whilst the administration and suchlike is carried out by the General Synod which is composed of representatives of both clergy and laity.
With the exception of the Diocese in Europe each diocese is further divided into parishes. The parish is the basic unit of the church, each of which is traditionally under the care of a parish priest (usually known as a vicar or rector). (Although these days, it is quite common to to find groups of parishes overseen by a single priest.)
All those Church of England dioceses in full.

KgU – Kampfgruppe der Unmenschlichkeit ist ein propagandistischer Dokumentarfilm des DEFA-Studios für Wochenschau und Dokumentarfilme von Joachim Hadaschik aus dem Jahr 1956.

Filminhalt

Zu Beginn des Films erscheint die Einblendung: "Hergestellt nach Dokumenten des Obersten Gerichts und des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik". Es folgen Aufnahmen aus dem Berolinahaus. Dort wird die Ausstellung "Agenten, Spione, Saboteure entlarvt" des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit präsentiert, die nach Angaben des Filmkommentars bereits hunderttausende Menschen gesehen haben. Sie zeigt die gegen die Spionage- und Agentenzentralen in Westdeutschland und West-Berlin gerichtete Arbeit der Sicherheitsorgane der DDR. Die Ausstellung bildete die Grundlage für den Film.

Ein Angehöriger der Staatssicherheit in Uniform erläutert einer Gruppe Ausstellungsbesuchern die hinter ihm angebrachten Exponate. Nach seinen Worten ist die sogenannte Kampfgruppe gegen Unmenschlichkeit (KgU) eine der gefährlichsten, gemeinsten und skrupellosesten Zentralen der politischen Unterwelt. Der Uniformierte gibt an, dass Johann Burianek, der Kraftfahrer des Werkleiters des VEB Secura Werke Berlin, einer der Rädelsführer der Gruppe war. Der Filmkommentar berichtet im Folgenden von Burianeks staatsfeindlichen Tätigkeiten. Mit seinem Dienstwagen transportierte er Hetzschriften gegen die DDR von West-Berlin nach Ost-Berlin und benutzte diesen auch für weitere Aktionen, für die er von der KgU die Aufträge erhielt. Dazu gehörte das Werfen von Reifentötern auf die Landstraßen, um das Transportwesen zu stören. Auch zu den III. Weltfestspielen der Jugend und Studenten sollte damit Panik ausgelöst werden, wozu auch Stinkbomben und Brandsätze eingesetzt wurden. Eine weitere Aufgabe Burianeks bestand darin, gemeinsam mit anderen Mitgliedern der KgU eine Eisenbahnbrücke in Berlin-Spindlersfeld in die Luft zu sprengen, was durch eine Patrouille der Bahnpolizei verhindert werden konnte. Burianek wurde dafür vom Obersten Gericht der DDR, unter dem Vorsitz von Hilde Benjamin, zum Tode verurteilt.

Der Filmkommentar berichtet, dass viele Agenten des Westens in den Übersiedlungslagern unter den geflüchteten DDR-Bürgern geworben wurden. Der in die DDR übergesiedelte ehemalige Hauptagent der KgU, Rupprecht Wagner, sagt in einem Interview, dass der Leiter der Terrorabteilung Gerd Baitz mehrere hauptamtlich angestellte Mitarbeiter mit der Vernehmung von Flüchtlingen, zwecks Anwerbung neuer Agenten im Notaufnahmelager Marienfelde, beauftragt hat. Dazu gehörte auch Kurt Milster alias Malik, der nicht nur für die KgU, sondern auch für den US-amerikanischen Geheimdienst arbeitete. Einer der von ihm angeworbenen Agenten war ein aus Leipzig stammender Veterinärstudent, der nach seiner Verhaftung in der DDR über seine erhaltenen Aufgaben vor der Kamera aussagte, dass er von Milster alias Malik Gift erhalten hat, womit er im Leipziger Schlachthof Fleisch vergiften sollte.

Erneut ist der Mitarbeiter der Staatssicherheit in Uniform zu sehen. Auf einer Landkarte zeigt er den Ausstellungsbesuchern, dass sich das KgU-Agentennetz über die gesamte DDR erstreckte. So sollte im Ernst Thälmann Werk Magdeburg eine 3000 Tonnen schwere Schmiedepresse vernichtet werden. Gerhard Benkowitz erhielt den Auftrag die Bleilochtalsperre zu sprengen, was den Tod von zehntausenden Menschen bedeutet hätte, Millionenwerte wären vernichtet worden. Im Volkseigenen Gut Lanke (Wandlitz) wurde durch Brandstiftung die gesamte Ernte vernichtet. Im Volkseigenen Reifenwerk Fürstenwalde verbrannten 15000 Reifen, der Brandstifter Lucke aus Fürstenwalde/Spree wurde gefasst.

Der uniformierte Mitarbeiter der Staatssicherheit gibt an, dass Beispiele von ehemaligen KgU-Mitarbeitern existieren, die sich von dieser Vereinigung getrennt haben. So ging ein Jugendlicher drei Mal zur Vermisstenstelle der KgU, da er seinen Vater suchte. Dann bekam er ein Brandpaket ausgehändigt, um das Kulturhaus des VEB Bau-Union Berlin in Berlin-Schöneweide in Brand zu setzen. Das brachte er nach eigener Aussage nicht fertig und stellte sich der Deutschen Volkspolizei. Der Schauspieler Joachim Schmidt aus Erfurt erklärt, dass er sich und seiner Frau viel Ärger erspart hätte, wenn er bereits früher mit der KgU gebrochen hätte. Ein weiterer ehemaliger Mitarbeiter der KgU konnte es nach seiner Heirat und der Geburt seines Kindes nicht mehr mit seinem Gewissen vereinbaren, länger für die Kampfgruppe tätig zu sein und stellte sich ebenfalls den Sicherheitsorganen der DDR. Im Kommentar wird berichtet, dass sich Maßnahmen der KgU auch gegen Menschen in Westdeutschland richten. Es werden abgefilmte, schriftliche Unterlagen gezeigt. Der Sänger Rudi Schuricke wurde bespitzelt, weil er Bekannte in der DDR hatte.

Der Film berichtet von Ballons mit einem Durchmesser von bis zu 18 Metern, die Hetzschriften und Brandsätzen befördern und mit hochexplosiven Wasserstoffgas gefüllt sind. Filmaufnahmen zeigen einen Ballon, der mit schwerer Ladung unweit eines Bauernhofs abstürzte, auf dem Kinder spielten. Auch weniger gewalttätige Aktionen wurden durchgeführt: Laut Rupprecht Wagner schrieben Mitglieder der KgU vor der Berliner Außenministerkonferenz an den US-amerikanischen Außenminister John Foster Dulles als Bürger der DDR, dass sie mit der Politik der Vereinigten Staaten einverstanden sind, was diesen veranlasste, für alle Deutsche zu sprechen.

Es werden abgefilmte Ausschnitte aus Zeitungen und Zeitschriften in der BRD gezeigt, die sich negativ über die KgU äußern. Der Kommentator gibt sich optimistisch, dass die KgU bald nicht mehr existieren wird. Der uniformierte Mitarbeiter der Staatssicherheit spricht abschließend direkt in die Kamera: "Deshalb geht der Kampf gegen Agenten, Spione und Saboteure uns alle an."

Hintergrund
Im Zeichen des Kalten Krieges entstanden in den 1950er-Jahren in der DDR regelmäßig Dokumentarfilme, die "zur Bildung eines westlichen Feindbildes beitragen sollten." Meist war die Staatssicherheit an den Filmen beteiligt. Wiederkehrende Themen dieser Produktionen waren Schmuggel, Spionage und Anschlagspläne, die sich gegen die DDR richten sollten. Die Filme verschrieben sich der "Methode propagandistischer Überzeichnung". Sie einte eine "kulturelle Überfremdungsphobie der Herrschenden in Ostberlin". Neben KgU – Kampfgruppe der Unmenschlichkeit entstanden in dieser Zeit unter anderem Sie haben den Verstand verloren (Regie: Bruno Kleberg und Walter Marten, 1954), Zwei Wege der Jugend (Regie: Rolf Schnabel, 1954), Attentat auf unsere Kinder (Regie: Kurt Stanke, 1955) und Agenten im Schatten einer Partei (Regie: Joachim Hadaschik, 1957). Über die Wirkung dieser Filme beim Publikum kann aus heutiger Sicht nur spekuliert werden.

Die sich in den 1950er-Jahren zunehmend radikalisierende Kampfgruppe gegen Unmenschlichkeit war für die DDR "ein willkommener Anlass, um sie im Kalten Krieg für eigene Propagandazwecke gegen die BRD zu nutzen". Um seine visuelle Überzeugungskraft zu erhöhen, bediente sich KgU – Kampfgruppe der Unmenschlichkeit nachgestellter Szenen. Das im Film präsentierte "beschlagnahmte Dokumentationsmaterial" stellt Erkenntnisstände der Staatssicherheit dar, die zum Zeitpunkt der Filmproduktion bereits veraltet waren.

Produktion und Veröffentlichung
Der Dramaturg war Harry Hornig. KgU – Kampfgruppe der Unmenschlichkeit zeigt den Sänger Rudi Schuricke bei einer Darbietung des Schlagers Capri-Fischer. Der Komponist des im Film enthaltenen Festivalliedes Im August blüh'n die Rosen war Günter Friedrich. Die musikalische Bearbeitung des Films lag in den Händen von Kurt Grottke.

Die Premiere des unter dem Arbeitstitel Warnung gedrehten Schwarzweißfilms fand am 3. Februar 1956 statt. Vom Deutschen Fernsehfunk (DFF) wurde der Film am 15. Juli 1956 gesendet.

2019 lief der Film in der Retrospektive "BRDDR" des DOK Leipzig. Zusammen mit weiteren DEFA-Filmen aus den 1950er-Jahren, die im Zeichen des Kalten Krieges stehen, erschien KgU – Kampfgruppe der Unmenschlichkeit 2021 in der Edition Filmmuseum auf DVD.

Q: Trigonometric Relation I was wanting a simpler solution to the problem below (I'll leave my solution below). Who has a simpler solution, could you please introduce it here?

Let
  \begin{equation*}
    \sin(u)+\sin(v)+\sin(w)=-\sin(u+v+w)
\end{equation*}
  Then the equality below is true:
  \begin{equation*}
    \sin(v+w)+\sin(u+v)+\sin(u+w)=-\sin(v+w)\sin(u+v)\sin(u+w)
\end{equation*}

\begin{equation}
Proof
\end{equation}
Observe that if $ \displaystyle x+y+z=-xyz$, so we have:
$$\frac{(1+y^{2})(1+z^{2})}{4yz}+\frac{(1+x^{2})(1+z^{2})}{4xz}+\frac{(1+x^{2})(1+y^{2})}{4xy}=-1$$
Let's prove the above equality:
$$\frac{1+y^{2}+z^{2}+y^{2}z^{2}}{4yz}+\frac{1+x^{2}+z^{2}+x^{2}z^{2}}{4xz}+\frac{1+x^{2}+y^{2}+x^{2}y^{2}}{4xy}$$
Observe that
$ \ \displaystyle x+y+z=-xyz \Rightarrow \frac{1}{xy}=-\frac{z}{x+y+z},\frac{1}{yz}=-\frac{x}{x+y+z},\frac{1}{xz}=-\frac{y}{x+y+z} \\ \\$
We get:
$$-\frac{(1+y^{2}+z^{2}+y^{2}z^{2})x}{4(x+y+z)}-\frac{(1+x^{2}+z^{2}+x^{2}z^{2})y}{4(x+y+z)}-\frac{(1+x^{2}+y^{2}+x^{2}y^{2})z}{4(x+y+z)}\Rightarrow$$
$$\frac{-x-xy^{2}-xz^{2}-xy^{2}z^{2}}{4(x+y+z)}+\frac{-y-yx^{2}-yz^{2}-yx^{2}z^{2}}{4(x+y+z)}+\frac{-z-zx^{2}-zy^{2}-zx^{2}y^{2}}{4(x+y+z)}\Rightarrow$$
$$\frac{-x-xy^{2}-xz^{2}-xyz(yz)}{4(x+y+z)}+\frac{-y-yx^{2}-yz^{2}-xyz(xz)}{4(x+y+z)}+\frac{-z-zx^{2}-zy^{2}-xyz(xy)}{4(x+y+z)}\Rightarrow$$
$$\frac{-x-xy^{2}-xz^{2}+(x+y+z)yz}{4(x+y+z)}+\frac{-y-yx^{2}-yz^{2}+(x+y+z)xz}{4(x+y+z)}+\frac{-z-zx^{2}-zy^{2}+(x+y+z)xy}{4(x+y+z)}\Rightarrow$$
$$\frac{-(x+y+z)+3xyz}{4(x+y+z)}=\frac{-(x+y+z)-3(x+y+z)}{4(x+y+z)}=-1$$
So, if  $\displaystyle x+y+z=-xyz $, is true:
$\\ \\ \displaystyle \frac{x}{1+x^{2}}+\frac{y}{1+y^{2}}+\frac{z}{1+z^{2}}=-\frac{4xyz}{(1+x^{2})(1+y^{2})(1+z^{2})}\\$
Replace $\displaystyle x=\tan(\alpha),y=\tan(\beta), z=\tan(\gamma)$, our relationship gets rewritten as:
$\displaystyle \tan(\alpha)+\tan(\beta)+\tan(\gamma)=-\tan(\alpha)\tan(\beta)\tan(\gamma)$,
on the other hand we have:
$\\ \\ \displaystyle \sin(\alpha)\cos(\alpha)+\sin(\beta)\cos(\beta)+\sin(\gamma)\cos(\gamma)=-4\sin(\alpha)\cos(\alpha)\sin(\beta)\cos(\beta)\sin(\gamma)\cos(\gamma)\\$
Multiplying the two sides by 2 and using the sine of the double arch finally, we will have:
$\\ \\ \displaystyle \sin(2\alpha)+\sin(2\beta)+\sin(2\gamma)=-\sin(2\alpha)\sin(2\beta)\sin(2\gamma)\\ \\$
Substituting for tangents:
$\\ \\ \displaystyle \tan(\alpha)+\tan(\beta)+\tan(\gamma)=-\tan(\alpha)\tan(\beta)\tan(\gamma) \\ \Rightarrow \tan(\alpha)+\tan(\beta)+\tan(\gamma)+\tan(\alpha)\tan(\beta)\tan(\gamma)=0\Rightarrow \\ \sec(\alpha)\sec(\beta)\sec(\gamma)(\sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta)\cos(\gamma)+\sin(\beta)\cos(\alpha)\cos(\gamma)+\sin(\gamma)\cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta)+\sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)\sin(\gamma))=0 \\ \Rightarrow \sec(\alpha)\sec(\beta)\sec(\gamma)(2\sin(\alpha)\cos(\beta)\cos(\gamma)+2\sin(\beta)\cos(\alpha)\cos(\gamma)+2\sin(\gamma)\cos(\alpha)\cos(\beta)+2\sin(\alpha)\sin(\beta)\sin(\gamma))=0 \\ \Rightarrow \sec(\alpha)\sec(\beta)\sec(\gamma) \times \\ \{ \{[\cos(\alpha) \sin(\beta) - \sin(\alpha) \cos(\beta)]\cos(\gamma)+[\sin(\alpha) \sin(\beta) + \cos(\alpha) \cos(\beta)
]\sin(\gamma)\}+\{[\sin(\alpha) \cos(\beta) - \cos(\alpha) \sin(\beta)
]\cos(\gamma)+[\sin(\alpha) \sin(\beta) + \cos(\alpha) \cos(\beta)
]\sin(\gamma)\}+\{[\sin(\alpha) \cos(\beta) + \cos(\alpha) \sin(\beta)]\cos(\gamma)-[\cos(\alpha) \cos(\beta) - \sin(\alpha) \sin(\beta)
]\sin(\gamma)\}+\{[\sin(\alpha) \cos(\beta) + \cos(\alpha) \sin(\beta)]\cos(\gamma)+[\cos(\alpha) \cos(\beta) - \sin(\alpha) \sin(\beta)
]\sin(\gamma)\}\}=0  \Rightarrow \sec(\alpha)\sec(\beta)\sec(\gamma) \{[\sin(-\alpha+\beta)\cos(\gamma)+\cos(-\alpha+\beta)\sin(\gamma)]+[\sin(\alpha-\beta)\cos(\gamma)+\cos(\alpha-\beta)\sin(\gamma)]+[\sin(\alpha+\beta)\cos(\gamma)-\cos(\alpha+\beta)\sin(\gamma)]+[\sin(\alpha+\beta)\cos(\gamma)+\cos(\alpha+\beta)\sin(\gamma)]\}= 0 \\ \Rightarrow \sec(\alpha)\sec(\beta)\sec(\gamma)\{\sin(-\alpha+\beta+\gamma)+\sin(\alpha-\beta+\gamma)+\sin(\alpha+\beta-\gamma)+\sin(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)\}=0\\ \\$
The only form of this equality equal to zero is if the equality below occurs:
\begin{equation}
    \sin(\alpha+\beta-\gamma)+\sin(\alpha-\beta+\gamma)+\sin(-\alpha+\beta+\gamma)+\sin(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)=0
\end{equation}
And this implies that
\begin{equation}
    \sin(\alpha+\beta-\gamma)+\sin(\alpha-\beta+\gamma)+\sin(-\alpha+\beta+\gamma)=-\sin(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)
\end{equation}
In other words what we have proved is that if the equality below is true:
\begin{equation}
    \sin(\alpha+\beta-\gamma)+\sin(\alpha-\beta+\gamma)+\sin(-\alpha+\beta+\gamma)=-\sin(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)
\end{equation}
So is true:
\begin{equation}
    \sin(2\alpha)+\sin(2\beta)+\sin(2\gamma)=-\sin(2\alpha)\sin(2\beta)\sin(2\gamma)
\end{equation}
Replacing $\displaystyle \alpha=\frac{v+w}{2},\beta=\frac{u+w}{2},\gamma=\frac{u+v}{2}$, therefore:
\begin{equation}
    \sin(u)+\sin(v)+\sin(w)=-\sin(u+v+w)
\end{equation}
And:
\begin{equation}
    \sin(v+w)+\sin(u+v)+\sin(u+w)=-\sin(v+w)\sin(u+v)\sin(u+w)
\end{equation}
As desired.
Edit:
Replacing $\displaystyle u=\frac{\pi}{2}-x,v=\frac{\pi}{2}-y,w=\frac{\pi}{2}-z$, we get:

Let
  \begin{equation}
    \cos(x)+\cos(y)+\cos(z)=\cos(x+y+z)
\end{equation}
  Then the equality below is true:
  \begin{equation}
    \sin(x+y)+\sin(x+z)+\sin(y+z)=-\sin(x+y)\sin(x+z)\sin(y+z)
\end{equation}

Our 2017 Fall Newsletter Is Here! You Are the Difference!
Our Fall Newsletter is here and we could not be more excited to share it with you at the end of this long weekend of gratitude.
Read on to learn about Rachele and her four children whose lives transformed when PVSS welcomed them into our Shelter. Now, they are in our 1-year Annex Program and Rachele is happy to be the mom she has always aspired to be for her children, while giving back to the community by working at Janus of Santa Cruz.
You will also be inspired by Enedina and Felipe and their four children. They struggled to afford a healthy environment for their 12-year old son fighting leukemia – until they found PVSS. Today, he is in remission and the entire family is enjoying the opportunity to focus on their goals and dreams in our Transitional Housing Program.
You will learn more about our families' achievements over the past year. Financial empowerment is one of the key tenants of our programming: savings turn into rental deposits and down payments on a new home, preparing families for unexpected expenses.
Look back with us at our inaugural Shelter to Home Fall Benefit Dinner & Auction on November 2nd. More than 100 long-term and new friends gathered for PVSS at Jalisco Restaurant. George Ow, Jr., gave the Keynote Speech.

This is my first post on a blog that I hope will be inspiring and amusing to my (now nonexistent) readers. I'd be lying if I said this blog was my own idea – I was definitely persuaded by friends, to whom I am grateful for the encouragement. I plan to post everything from my quirky and whimsical outfits, to my baking, to my never-ending sewing projects… so stay tuned and we'll see where this all goes.
I'm glad you discovered my blog too 🙂 I'm glad you like my teacup dress, it's one of my favorites!


I recently baked a cake for my brother-in-law's early 50th birthday. I wasn't quite sure what type of cake to make as it needed to be gluten free, so I adjusted one of my favourite chocolate cake recipes and it turned out great!
I doubled the recipe below to make a 3 tiered cake filled with vanilla butter cream, iced with chocolate butter cream icing and decorated it with fresh berries and white chocolate shavings!
Here's my modified recipe, enjoy!
Mix all the ingredients together in a mixer and pour into a greased and lined 20cm cake tin and bake for approximately 50 minutes.
Once cooked, ice with frosting and decorate!
This last month has been rather busy since we've moved into our new home! We are loving our new place and can't wait to get cracking with the internal renovations (just waiting to re-pile the house first).
Including celebrating Mother's day!! We had an awesome day, starting off with church (and me preaching - eeeeek), then spending time with family for the rest of the afternoon/evening. Strangely enough, I forgot to get photos with my mum, mum-in-law or my kids!
Hope you've been having a great month too!!
Today we celebrated my Mother's Day baby - and as I look at this tall young lady, I do have to wonder where my baby has suddenly gone!
This sweet girl has such a caring nature, quirky sense of humour and lovely heart - she's such blessing!
Today we gathered with her best friend and grandparents and great Nana to celebrate - I still am blown away at what a blessing it is for our children to have both sets of grandparents and a Great Nana in their lives! I love family so much!
The birthday cake requested was a plain chocolate cake - a sign that she is growing up (especially after last years party!).
Happy birthday to our sweet girl! Praying for an amazing year ahead, filled with adventure and laughter and heaps of great memories made.

Half of Britons want May to quit as Labour overtakes Tory: Poll
Monday, 12 June 2017 10:21 AM [ Last Update: Monday, 12 June 2017 10:22 AM ]
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May
Nearly half of British voter want Prime Minister Theresa May to quit, after her weak leadership cost the Conservatives dearly in the recent general election, a new poll has found.
The Survation poll for the Mail on Sunday showed that 49 percent of Brits wanted a new premier while 38 percent were fine with May retaining the position.
Only 36 percent of the voters agreed that May was a "strong and stable" leader, as she promoted herself in the campaign, compared to the 50 percent who said she was not.
The findings were similar to a YouGov poll for the Sunday Times, where 38 percent of the participants wanted May to resign and another 38 percent wanted her to stay.
May's approval ratings took a nosedive following the Thursday election, where the Tories lost 12 seats of their 330-seat parliamentary majority and were left with a hung parliament.
To make things worse, the main opposition party Labour entered the election holding only 229 seats and came out with 262, defying all predictions.
Labour overtakes Tory
The surprise gains by Labour under the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn saw the party's popularity grow dramatically, overtaking the Conservatives for the first time in recent years.

According to Survation, Labour now has a healthy support of 45 percent among British voters compared to the Conservative Party's 39 percent.
Labour has also reported a major increase in new memberships, with over 150,000 people joining the party since the Friday upset. This brings the total to around 800,000.
In comparison, the Conservative Party had fewer than 150,000 members in December 2016.
Energized by the historic outcome, Corbyn, who still remains in minority, has called on May to step down and clear the way for him to lead the UK's exit from the European Union (EU).
Noting that he could "absolutely" still be prime minister, Corbyn told BBC on Sunday he was planning to vote down May's legislative agenda, known as Queen's Speech, and put together an alternative of his own in order to win support for a minority government.
May, who called the snap vote in mid-April to "strengthen her hand" in Brexit talks, is now trying to save herself by forming a coalition government with Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

« Ian Gawler Blog: Telomeres, Meditation and Length of Life.
Why are so many undergraduates spending a semester poring over abstruse Chinese philosophy by scholars who lived thousands of years ago? For one thing, the class fulfills one of Harvard's more challenging core requirements, Ethical Reasoning. It's clear, though, that students are also lured in by Puett's bold promise: This course will change your life.
His students tell me it is true: that Puett uses Chinese philosophy as a way to give undergraduates concrete, counter-intuitive, and even revolutionary ideas, which teach them how to live a better life. Elizabeth Malkin, a student in the course last year, says, The class absolutely changed my perspective of myself, my peers, and of the way I view the world. Puett puts a fresh spin on the questions that Chinese scholars grappled with centuries ago. He requires his students to closely read original texts (in translation) such as Confucius'sAnalects, the Mencius, and the Daodejing and then actively put the teachings into practice in their daily lives. His lectures use Chinese thought in the context of contemporary American life to help 18- and 19-year-olds who are struggling to find their place in the world figure out how to be good human beings; how to create a good society; how to have a flourishing life.
Puett began offering his course to introduce his students not just to a completely different cultural worldview but also to a different set of tools. He told me he is seeing more students who are feeling pushed onto a very specific path towards very concrete career goals than he did when he began teaching nearly 20 years ago. A recent report shows a steep decline over the last decade in the number of Harvard students who are choosing to major in the humanities, a trend roughly seen across the nation's liberal arts schools. Finance remains the most popular career for Harvard graduates. Puett sees students who orient all their courses and even their extracurricular activities towards practical, predetermined career goals and plans.
That rush of good feeling that comes after a daily run, the inspiring conversation with a good friend, or the momentary flash of anger that arises when someone cuts in front of us in line—what could they have to do with big life matters? Everything, actually. From a Chinese philosophical point of view, these small daily experiences provide us endless opportunities to understand ourselves. When we notice and understand what makes us tick, react, feel joyful or angry, we develop a better sense of who we are that helps us when approaching new situations. Mencius, a late Confucian thinker (4th century B.C.E.), taught that if you cultivate your better nature in these small ways, you can become an extraordinary person with an incredible influence, altering your own life as well as that of those around you, until finally you can turn the whole world in the palm of your hand.
Decisions are made from the heart. Americans tend to believe that humans are rational creatures who make decisions logically, using our brains. But in Chinese, the word for mind and heart are the same. Puett teaches that the heart and the mind are inextricably linked, and that one does not exist without the other. Whenever we make decisions, from the prosaic to the profound (what to make for dinner; which courses to take next semester; what career path to follow; whom to marry), we will make better ones when we intuit how to integrate heart and mind and let our rational and emotional sides blend into one. Zhuangzi, a Daoist philosopher, taught that we should train ourselves to become spontaneous through daily living, rather than closing ourselves off through what we think of as rational decision-making. In the same way that one deliberately practices the piano in order to eventually play it effortlessly, through our everyday activities we train ourselves to become more open to experiences and phenomena so that eventually the right responses and decisions come spontaneously, without angst, from the heart-mind.
While all this might sound like hooey-wooey self-help, much of what Puett teaches is previously accepted cultural wisdom that has been lost in the modern age. Aristotle said, We are what we repeatedly do, a view shared by thinkers such as Confucius, who taught that the importance of rituals lies in how they inculcate a certain sensibility in a person. In research published in Psychological Science, social psychologist Amy Cuddy and her colleagues found that when we take a power stance (stand with our legs apart, arms thrust out, taking up space), the pose does not only cause other people to view us as more confident and powerful; it actually causes a hormonal surge that makes us become more confident.
At the end of each class, Puett challenges his students to put the Chinese philosophy they have been learning into tangible practice in their everyday lives. The Chinese philosophers we read taught that the way to really change lives for the better is from a very mundane level, changing the way people experience and respond to the world, so what I try to do is to hit them at that level. I'm not trying to give my students really big advice about what to do with their lives. I just want to give them a sense of what they can do daily to transform how they live. Their assignments are small ones: to first observe how they feel when they smile at a stranger, hold open a door for someone, engage in a hobby. He asks them to take note of what happens next: how every action, gesture, or word dramatically affects how others respond to them. Then Puett asks them to pursue more of the activities that they notice arouse positive, excited feelings. In their papers and discussion sections students discuss what it means to live life according to the teachings of these philosophers.
Once they've understood themselves better and discovered what they love to do they can then work to become adept at those activities through ample practice and self-cultivation. Self-cultivation is related to another classical Chinese concept: that effort is what counts the most, more than talent or aptitude. We aren't limited to our innate talents; we all have enormous potential to expand our abilities if we cultivate them. You don't have to be stuck doing what you happen to be good at; merely pay attention to what you love and proceed from there. Chinese philosophers taught that paying attention to small clues can literally change everything that we can become as human beings, says Puett.
One of Puett's former students, Adam Mitchell, was a math and science whiz who went to Harvard intending to major in economics. At Harvard specifically and in society in general, he told me, we're expected to think of our future in this rational way: to add up the pros and cons and then make a decision. That leads you down the road of Stick with what you're good at —a road with little risk but little reward. But after his introduction to Chinese philosophy during his sophomore year, he realized this wasn't the only way to think about the future. Instead, he tried courses he was drawn to but wasn't naturally adroit at because he had learned how much value lies in working hard to become better at what you love. He became more aware of the way he was affected by those around him, and how they were affected by his own actions in turn. Mitchell threw himself into foreign language learning, feels his relationships have deepened, and is today working towards a master's degree in regional studies. He told me, I can happily say that Professor Puett lived up to his promise, that the course did in fact change my life.

Hank Meirowitz is proud to bear the title of Portrait Photographer of the Pampered Pet. He has proven himself in group and solo shows in the area and in New York as a lover of animals, using his talent to capture the personality of his subject in his studio in New Milford equipped with animal toys, cookies, bench, backgrounds and floods. He has had no problem with their posing after adjusting themselves to his comfortable set-up. Dealing with pets, much the same as with humans, a one-to-one relationship and trust must be established and then everything works perfectly! However, you must start out with a basic love and interest in both people and animals. And they will respond once they sense your feeling.
As time has passed, he has grown restless with being confined to a studio space and the lureof travel came on the scene. He now documents far-away lands and indigenous wildlife many people only dream of seeing. Over the last few years he has photographed Russia, Poland, Australia, India, Turkey, China, Korea, Prague, Budapest, Croatia, and ANTARCTICA and has only recently returned from a most exciting riverboat cruise to Viet Nam and Cambodia, which will be on display through March 2015 at the Good News Cafe in Woodbury, Connecticut.The architecture, the people, the faces of happy children and the ambience of each locale are what interests him the most.

Fuller Projection
The Fuller Projection, or Dymaxion Map, solves the age-old problem of displaying spherical data on a flat surface using a low-distortion transformation. The map also shows the world's land masses without interruption — the map's sinuses do not cut into the land area at any point.
The Fuller Projection is rendered by juxtaposing a grid of triangles on the globe and transferring the data to corresponding triangles on an unfolded icosahedron.
See Chris Rywalt's site for download options
Although the algorithm for transferring data from a sphere to a plane differs from previous icosahedral projections (the Gnomonic and John P. Synder's for example), Robert W. Gray has shown that the orientation of the icosahedron is the most visually distinctive aspect of the map.
To the naked eye, the Fuller, gnomonic and Snyder projections are quasi-identical, once all are made to conform to the same trademarked layout.
Fuller hoped that this map would be widely used for sharing global data, but discouraged people from marring it with national political boundaries. Fuller regarded sovereignties as holdovers from a bygone era, and dangerous obstructions to the maturation of a post-racist, post-nationalist civilization (see No Race, No Class, Desovereignization?).
Perhaps owing to his anti-nationalism, Fuller's projection has never been favored by the United Nations, which instead promotes the Peters Projection as an alternative to the Mercator. The Mercator artificially amplifies the sizes of landmasses in a way which makes the industrialized, developed nations appear to account for a greater percentage of the total geographical area than they really do.
Fuller's map actually introduces less overall distortion than the Peters Projection.

I am running WinXP-SP3. My CD-Rom suddenly stopped working. Device Mgr says I have a Floppy Drive installed and I cannot get it to recognize (list) the CD-Rom that 'IS' in the bay. I do not have a Floppy Drive.
I have reset BIOS and no help. Has anyone encountered this problem and, if so, how do I correct it??
I have had the Creation Software cause this issue, and I have also had corrupt OS cause this issue and read/write errors.
This is if in fact the drive has not failed mechanically. Have you done anything to verify the drive works. Like putting in another case?
Have you removed and reinserted the CD-ROM drive. You may have to remove a security screw to be able to remove the UltraslimBay device.
After reinserting the UltraslimBay device check the BIOS to see if it is detected. If it is not being detected it has more than likely failed and will have to be replaced.
If it is detected in the BIOS but not showing in Device Manager try this for clearing the Upper/Lower Filters. Save a Backup of the keys before proceeding.
Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key by clicking the "+" next to it.
On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these Keys delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete" exit the registry.
If the drive is not present in the Disk Management window or if you are not able to access it, then the drive may have failed. In this window you should see all of your connected physical drives, their format, if they are healthy, and the drive letter.
If you want to be contacted turn on Peer Mail.

Life | What To Expect at a Film Premiere
LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized
A Beer & Cheese Pairing Night
Back in February, I managed to tick something that's been on my comping wishlist for ages – winning tickets to a film premiere. They're actually relatively easy to win, but due to being BUSY ALL THE TIME I don't enter as many as I should. However, in a rare occasion of me actually picking up the phone to a caller, I found out I'd won a pair of tickets to the Grimsby premiere in London.
When I first found out I'd won the tickets, I was a bit apprehensive. What should I wear? Where did we go to? What if I did a J-Law on the red carpet? So obviously, I went straight to Google to find out what to expect at a film premiere. And, as I didn't find much, I thought it'd be pretty awesome of me to share my own experience for anyone in the same boat.
Like most London premieres for mainstream releases, it was being hosted at Leicester Square Odeon, and after arriving early, collecting my tickets from the Global offices and pushing through the crowds, I did what most sensible people would do. I waited for Conor in KFC with a Fully Loaded Meal.
The Outfit
In the end, I remembered I wasn't ACTUALLY famous, wouldn't get papped and wouldn't find myself on the gossip pages in the next day's Metro, so went for a smart casual outfit of relatively nice dress and black boots. Flat ones, to avoid any chance of J-Law-ing. Turns out, smart casual was the way to go – although most of the men were in at least shirts/suit jackets, none of the 'regular people' attending were particularly 'dressed up', and I think if I'd gone full on glam I would have felt a bit awkward, like I was TRYING too hard or something.
Yep, we totally got to walk the red carpet. We walked round to the entrance to the middle garden bit of the square (which probably only makes sense if you've been there) and flashed our passes at the security guards. After walking through the square, we were let loose on the carpet itself and walked up towards the cinema entrance. Honestly, other than someone asking Conor for an autograph (LOL), we weren't paid any attention to at all, and there was barely even time for a selfie as we were moved along as quickly as possible. Most of the celebs had already arrived by the time we got there, but I spotted Jonny Vegas and walked past the evening's host Alex Zane looking snappy and chatting to a camera.
In the Cinema
Once we'd been ushered down the red carpet like the non-celebrity peasants that they assumed we were (er, do you know who I am?!), we entered the cinema itself. I'd never actually seen a film at the Leicester Square Odeon, so it was all new to me. The screen we were in was pretty massive, with two levels and plush, leopard print seats. We were right at the front in the centre, with plenty of legroom and a great view when the cast came on stage (more on that in a second!). On our seats, we found a complimentary bag of popcorn and bottle of water, and there were also vendors in the cinema selling confectionery and drinks. We were good and refrained (plus, the queue was mega).
FOTD: Casual Pub Trip
Cast and Director Appearance
After being shown highlights of the red carpet and interviews with the film's stars on screen, the cast and director made their way onto the stage – including Sacha Baron Cohen, Johnny Vegas and loads more. This part was shorter than I was expecting, as I'd imagined they'd do a few speeches and perhaps a Q&A with the host. But after a few words from the director and SBC himself, they headed back offstage and to their seats (away from us mere mortals) and the film began.
After this, it was pretty much like any normal cinema experience, really. Walking the red carpet was definitely a unique experience, and if I'm lucky enough to get hold of tickets to another one I'll definitely try and slow down and enjoy the walk a bit more. In the end, we got a free cinema trip, slight bragging rights and a fun way to spend an evening – all from spending less than 60 seconds filling in an entry form on XFM's website. I'll take that.

We manufacture a full line of polymer composite plastic fasteners including: plastic nails & clamp nails, plastic staples, plastic spikes, plastic brads, plastic pins, and plastic joinery nails.
Making coil pots is a standard practice in many art rooms, but for me, I held off teaching them for over six years. For some reason, they scared the dickens out of me.
Some of our smartest ways to rethink common items.

PICTURE FRAMES TO DISPLAY FOR YOUR GAME MINIATURES AS ART.
The MusterBox Kickstarter was a Success! I am finishing the casting of the rewards next week, and can then work on store sales. Thanks so much to everyone who supported MusterBox.
Announcing the first MusterBox Kickstarter! Launching (probably) July 17 2018, featuring Double Dungeon and Manticore Manor. The first wave of Rewards will ship in September, with subsequent waves scheduled further out.
You spend hours painting your game miniatures and you are justifiably proud of them. But then they go back in storage and you only take them out to play once in a while. Muster Boxes gives you a picture frame style display case to show off your hard work and mad painting skills.
The thin display format hangs on the wall, integrates into your home or office decor and requires zero table or shelf space. Magnetic tape keeps your miniatures in place and the removable outer frame means your creations are ready for action.
Clay modeled 6 x 9 prototype for the fist Muster Box.
Double Dungeon provides an upstairs/downstairs layout with finished chambers above rustic and natural spaces. The variety of spaces and levels accommodate any standard-ish 28MM miniature and provide various layout options. Show off your best painting triumphs or setup a dungeon crawl diorama.
Manticore Manor is a multi tiered interior space with some eastern hints. The base presents an exterior facade and imposing entry way with a rusticated and formidable presence. Above that the levels become lighter and more playful. There are many options for standard 28MM miniatures and vignettes of tiny strife.


Forty-eight pages, with five wide-spaced staves per page. Printed in black ink on regular-weight, white paper. Unlike most student manuscript books, this book is bound with deluxe vinyl-covered spiral binding. Excellent value.

The Region of South Aegean is at the Southeastern part of Europe, consisting of hundreds of small and mid-size islands. Well known as one of the best touristic attractions of the Mediterannean, with iconic sites such as Myconos, Santorini, Rhodes, Kos, Andros, and many other sea-jewels consisting the constellation of Cyclades & Dodecanese. However, lack of efficient and modern energy infrastructure facilities, is of the most important obstacle towards sustainable development. Isolation from main land, scarce climatic conditions, innefficient Power interconnectivity among islands and old fashion lighting system are among the main issues TREK has been engaged to tackle with.
Within the scope of a large scale Project Development & Finance scheme, TREK is to formulate a concept program for energy efficiency and use of Renewable Energy Systems, by performing cost benefit-analysis and classification of different energy ready-projects, such as LED lighting replacement, smart transport systems, retrofitting of Public use buildings and assessment of alternative Power sources such as Hydro-Power facilities.
Following, TREK is to assess an initial financial structure for the above investments and engage different source of funding, for the creation of a best fit financial blending.
