Save the Date is one of the more clever games I've played in recent memory. It's a visual novel with a simple premise: go out to dinner with someone. Well, it should be simple, except every time you try it, the dinners turn into scenarios that would be right at home in the Final Destination movies.
As if the pressure to be good company at dinner weren't enough.
But more interesting than that is that the game knows you're going to reload and try other stuff. It expects you to, even. Dialogue options on retries will reference stuff you did on other playthroughs, and each new playthrough sees you using knowledge you gained in a bad run. Reloading and trying again is stuff we'd normally do when we don't get our way while playing something, sure, but it's still neat to see a game account for that/work it into the gameplay.
The game also uses all that knowledge to make a clever point about the odd, kind of dehumanizing way we play games. Like I said, it's clever stuff.
I'd say more but I don't want to spoil too much—give Save the Date a try here. You can get through it in about 30 minutes, and it's well worth your time.

Transfer students are often the most enthusiastic about UChicago, yet the administration makes it impossible for them to thrive on campus.
The University's Gothic quad and extensive Core curriculum appeal to more than just high school juniors and seniors. Every year, the University receives hundreds of transfer applications from college students across the globe, who are drawn to the academically rigorous environment and tight-knit community that the University boasts. However, the University does not extend the same level of interest to its transfer students, who are treated as mere afterthoughts once they arrive on campus.
Touting an average 5.4 percent transfer-student acceptance rate, the University makes it clear that it doesn't take transfer acceptances lightly. Transfer applicants go through a disorienting and harsh process, requiring transcripts, recommendations, and test scores spanning back from high school. And as a result of the growing high school applicant pool, transfer acceptance rates have plummeted in recent years. There's somewhere between zero and 30 transfer students admitted per year, out of class sizes between 1,400 and 1,600.
Despite the competitive nature of the transfer process, the University proceeds to "welcome" these students in a rather unwelcoming manner. Until this year, there was no formal orientation program for transfer students. Aside from a minor luncheon hosted so current transfer students could meet each other, the administration has had little interest in providing resources for students to adjust to the academic and social complexities of the University.
While Li's work has created a platform for transfer students to familiarize themselves with the University, the administration fails to consider many aspects of the transfer student experience. The portal for transfer students in the Class of 2021 included a housing form that many transfer students filled out, expecting to have on-campus housing in their first year. However, on July 12, only two months before the start of the academic year, they were sent an e-mail saying that the form was a technical error and that there wasn't space in College Housing for them at all.
While many transfer students were attracted to the University for its rigorous academics, they weren't expecting so many academic hurdles. The University notoriously takes few transfer credits from other universities and colleges. While some universities that students transfer from might not offer comparatively challenging classes, this leaves transfer students in a frustrating position. One student explained that out of his 23 credits from another college, the University only accepted 12 for general elective classes and one for his major.
Furthermore, there's an evident lack of communication and methodology to how the administration doles out transfer credits. A transfer student, majoring in economics, explains that she went to the statistics department to see if they would accept some transfer credits for a minor, only for them to inform her that they never received any of her materials or documentation for those classes. Instead, they were sent to the economics department. This student was baffled as to why the economics department would decide the merit and value of her statistics classes. These cases demonstrate that the administration does not have a clear or definite strategy to taking transfer credits, allowing departments to make arbitrary and often inexplicable decisions. Carelessness and miscommunication characterize most of the University's interactions with this community.
With so few transfer credits accepted, transfer students face the ultimate challenge of graduating on time. This is made all the more difficult because the administration requires transfer students to graduate by the year of intended graduation from their previous university. However, this information is not made clear to the affected students. Many transfer students explained that they were largely unaware of this until their academic advisers informed them once they had arrived on campus. Already forced to quickly commit to a major while speeding through the Core at the same time, transfer students must endure the additional challenge of a timeline working against them. Many end up petitioning for extra quarters, creating another stressor in a campus culture already infamous for its high-intensity academics.
Ultimately, the University has disregarded some of the people who are most passionate about its academic, social, and intellectual culture. Transfer students often feel that it is a privilege to be accepted, but the administration does not feel the same toward them. Constructing social and academic barriers, the administration makes the process of transferring schools emotionally and mentally taxing. While some efforts have been made to remedy this situation, most have stemmed from transfer students themselves. The University must improve its policies on transfer students to truly create the nurturing environment it claims to maintain.

Strikingly, Mr. Suttmeier's finding that the final year of an incumbent's eight-year term was the only year that averaged negative returns in the United States may have an explanation, albeit one that involves a bit of conspiracy theorizing. "There has been much debate over whether incumbents manipulate fiscal and monetary policy instruments to influence the level of economic activity prior to an election in order to maximize the probability of re-election," Mr. Julio said in his own study.

Kriti did her Bachelor of Fine Arts from MS University Baroda in 1995. She then pursued Film and Photography along with doing her Master from University of Massachusetts Amherst USA.She has participated in several group shows in India and abroad including France, Canada,New Delhi, Baroda and many more. She had her solo shows in 1999- Where Art and Justice Unite, Art and Industry Building, Amherst USA, 1998- Mandir Masjid, Student Union Gallery, University of Massachusetts USA. Curatorial Note by Robin Dean – INROADS…bloodlines —–The works represent the evolution of an idea that began in 2004 with a journey to Jammu and Kashmir, her ancestral home. In the body of work that has emerged one is confronted by an artistic journey that mirrors her intimately personal pilgrimage to this conflict torn region. The personal quest to come to terms with her family history has drawn the artist back to the region again and again. She recalls 'my mother and I were driving to Chutumail, where the last India-Pakistan war took place. At the Zhojilla pass between 14,000 to 18,000 feet we saw these men and were not sure whether they were army or militants. As we drove close we realized they were Bihari road builders. These men covered in tar working at high altitude surrounded by a barren landscape was such a striking image that I felt compelled to capture their emotions…' It is pertinent to note that her initial desire was to capture their emotions not the reality of their appearance. Unlike much of her work the series is not overtly political, but her figures are intentionally ambiguous, reflecting her own initial uncertainty about the nature of these figures as she first saw them on the pass. Their clothing has a military slant yet their despondent faces and emaciated features suggest a deeper uncertainty and isolation. Yet as road builders they create the social arteries by which the region can survive and potentially prosper, as such they are symbols of a new future. The road builders are therefore metaphorical creatures. Dressed in warm, sometimes voluminous jackets and coats, they combine forlornness, darkness with a sense of detachment. Their stark and cheerless surroundings penetrate their souls and yet, at another level, they are valedictory creatures straddling two ambivalent universes. Hallucinations of horror and yet brave fighters, who are helping create linkages, building bridges in this strife-torn country and also, helping build a bridge between the instinctive chaos that marks so much of our lives. With the initial series of photographs began a metamorphic artistic process in which images and forms evolve from one another through variations of mediums and materials. Ink and tar portraits emerge from the photographic studies which evolve further into large images on canvas and finally into life-size sculptures, each allowing for different levels of allegorical association. The faces in the initial ink sketches are encased in tar, from these pupa-like forms the larger canvases mutate, the figures emerge more fully but the tar remains as part of their very substance, part of their being. Emerging from these figures themselves like a medical scan are lines that at first glance appear to be the folds or texture of their clothing, but on closer inspection reveal the blood that is pumping in their veins, their weakened skeletons, or the despairing bronchioles of their lungs urgently requiring oxygen to continue their work in this landscape of extremes. Some figures even hold human bones in place of tools, the symbols of the human cost of such projects. These lone figures with vacant stares, even within the largest canvas neither interact with one another nor engage with the audience instead they stare out to unseen horizons. Yet, undaunted in their unique isolation they are powerful symbols of a region experiencing a rebirth. The depiction of these lone isolated figures reveals part of Kriti's artistic journey. The sculptures expand this metaphor to a new level, unlike the paintings the sculptures reflect the physical reality of the figures first confronted on the pass, but the postures are detached from any immediate context. As with classical Indian sculptures where hand postures or mudras are symbolic of the role that a deity performs within the manifest world so too the raised hands and lunging limbs of the tar figures reveal their implied activity without specifying the nature of their role. The ambiguity experienced first hand by the artist is thus reflected in the forms of the figures, their military style clothing and aggressive stances are in direct contrast to the anguish expressed in their facial features. When confronted by the sculptures these polarities create a sense of unease whereby despite our initial intimidation we are forced to empathise with their pain. The ghost-like figures entombed in tar appear frozen in time, caught in an unending cycle of toil and anguish, reminiscent of the tormented figures of Pompeii, where the muted horror of their final moment of life is caught forever in their contorted limbs encased in lava. Courage and fear, anguish and hope, death and rebirth, the cycle of experiences expressed symbolically in the figures are heightened by the presence of the video projection which running in an unending loop depicts an exploding mountainside forever reforming only to be destroyed again. The figures and the landscape that surround them thus become modern symbols of the polarities of human experience or taken at a universal level they reflect the creative and destructive cycles of the universe itself. The forms are the final manifestations of an artistic pilgrimage and the culmination of the artist's desire to express her personal vision of a region. As an audience one steps into the mythical landscape of the artist and is forced to participate in that experience and part of her journey. Born from their toil and from the elements that surround them, these road builders represent universal symbols for the human condition and yet they remain emblems for the rebirth of a region, a creative energy with the potential for an enduring legacy that still hangs in an uncertain balance.

This month it was to make a zig zag book. I have seen others make this accordion style mini book recently and thought I'd have a go.
The background 'papers' were made using mixed media (acrylic paints and various inks) with stamps, stencils and other bits and bobs.
Inside I have used quotes from a Clearly Besotted Stamp set: 'Today a reader, tomorrow a leader', 'Think before you speak, read before you think' and 'Sleep is good, books are better'.

New Method Reveals If Antibiotics Reach Bacteria Hiding in Tissues
by Colleen Fleiss on January 5, 2021 at 10:45 PM Drug News
A new imaging method developed by Francis Crick Institute and the University of Western Australia researchers helps see where antibiotics have reached bacteria within tissues.
During bacterial infections like tuberculosis, bacteria enter human cells, which poses a challenge for treatment, as antibiotics must reach and enter all infected cells in order to be effective.
If researchers could select for or develop more effective antibiotics based on where they reach, this may reduce the length of treatment needed, which in turn could reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance developing.
'The new imaging method could be used to help develop more effective antibiotic treatments, reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance. '
In their study, published in PLoS Biology the researchers developed a new imaging method to see where in infected tissues and in cells an antibiotic given to treat tuberculosis reaches the bacteria.
The scientists are continuing to work on the method, adapting it for other types of antibiotic and to image multiple antibiotics at the same time.
Max Gutierrez, author and group leader of the Host-Pathogen Interactions in Tuberculosis Laboratory at the Crick, says: "In the case of tuberculosis, people need to be treated with at least three different antibiotics over six months. We don't yet fully understand why this extended treatment is needed. We hope that being able to more clearly see where antibiotics are going, will help us better understand this process and find ways to improve it."
To develop the imaging method, called CLEIMiT,* the researcher analysed lung tissue from mice infected with tuberculosis and treated with the antibiotic bedaquiline.
They combined a variety of imaging methods, including confocal laser scanning microscopy, 3D fluorescence microscopy, electron microscopy and nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry, to develop their new approach.
Using this method, they found that bedaquiline had not reached all infected cells in the lung tissue and also had not entered all infected areas within infected cells.
They also found this antibiotic was collecting in macrophages and in polymorphonuclear cells, both types of immune cell. This was a surprise as these cells have different environments and it wasn't thought that one antibiotic would be able to enter both.
Tony Fearns, author and senior laboratory research scientist in the Host-Pathogen Interactions in Tuberculosis Laboratory at the Crick, says: "Our approach could be used to help develop new antibiotics or to re-assess current antibiotics to judge how effectively they reach their targets. The more we learn about how drugs behave in the body, for example where they collect, the better we will be able to treat bacterial diseases like tuberculosis."

Q: Grid forming inverter control I have been working on a project where the three phase voltage source inverter has to be controlled in so called grid forming mode of operation i.e. the inverter creates three phase grid of fixed frequency and voltage. I have studied a literature and I have found that it is pretty common task nowadays. The task is usually solved by following control structure

My problem is that one of the devices connected to the three phase grid formed by the
inverter is squirrel cage induction motor based compressor drive. There is no power
electronics converter between the compressor drive and the three phase grid i.e. the
compressor drive is started via the direct online connection. The compressor drive can
be connected to the grid in any time instant and there is no direct information about
its connection (no speed sensor of the compressor, no feedback signal from a contactor).
The only one indirect information about the compressor drive connection is the current
drawn from the inverter which is a sum of the currents consumed by all the devices connected
to the grid. In these assumptions the control algorithm in the digital signal processor
controlling the inverter has to ensure that the compressor drive successfully starts up.
Also in case when the inverter voltage is reduced due to achieving the current limit in the
inner control loop in the control structure above.
I have been thinking about solution of that problem and one idea has popped-up in my mind.
The idea is based on the equivalent circuit of the induction machine

and the slip formula \$s=\frac{\omega_s - \omega_m}{\omega_s}\$. In other words I can indirectly reduce the inrush current via reducing the slip which can be done via reduction of the grid frequency. The reduction of frequency should be followed in my opinion by the grid voltage magnitude reduction according to the voltage-frequency characteristic so that the induction motor of the compressor drive operates with its nominal flux. It could be said that I would append following control structure above the aforementioned one.

The question is whether that idea could ever work and if so how to realize the modification of the grid frequency (P,PI,PID controller or something else and based on what signal)?

A: Reducing the frequency will not reduce the motor slip. Reducing the frequency will reduce the reactances in the motor's equivalent motor and increase the current. Reducing the voltage and frequency to maintain constant V/Hz would help, but would not be good for other loads.
One option would be to increase the short-time current capacity of the inverter. It might be possible to do that by adding a lot of capacitance to the DC side of the inverter.
You could also use one of the non-electronic methods of reduced voltage starting: wye-delta, autotransformer, series reactor, or series resistor. An electronic reduced-voltage starter might not be compatible with the inverter. A variable frequency drive (VFD) is another alternative that might not be compatible with the inverter.
A DC powered VFD would work, but the DC source would need to have a voltage range that is compatible with the VFD. Depending on the available DC source, you may be able to find an off-the-shelf VFD that would work.

A: Grid-forming inverters are an emerging technology that allows solar and other inverter-based energy sources to restart the grid independently.
The inception of electrical inertia (EI) with phase lag of frequency reduction is common.  The sensors, controls and use of the Park Transform are used to simply the design with improved performance to various disturbances.
Details to study.

FDA approves new multiple sclerosis treatment Aubagio
The FDA has approved Sanofi Aventis' Aubagio (teriflunomide), a once-a-day tablet for the treatment of adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS).
"In a clinical trial, the relapse rate for patients using Aubagio was about 30% lower than the rate for those taking a placebo," said Russell Katz, M.D., director of the division of neurology products in the FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER). "Multiple sclerosis can impair movement, sensation, and thinking, so it is important to have a variety of treatment options available to patients."
The most common side effects of Aubagio experienced by patients in clinical trials include diarrhea, abnormal liver tests, nausea and hair loss. The drug contains a Boxed Warning to alert prescribers and patients to the risk of liver problems, including death, and a risk of birth defects. Physicians should do blood tests to check liver function before a patient starts taking Aubagio and periodically during treatment.
Also included in the Boxed Warning is an alert noting that, based on animal studies, the drug may cause fetal harm. For this reason, Aubagio is labeled as Pregnancy Category X, which means women of childbearing age must have a negative pregnancy test before starting the drug and use effective birth control during treatment.

August 24, 2006 By Mark Pellegrini
Waxwork is a horror movie that doesn't get a lot of credit, but at the same time, it only deserves so much. It has a fairly novel concept, some decent special effects, some very stomach-churning gore and at least one good actor. Yet, at the same time, it's full of hackneyed scares, bad jokes and a cast that mostly consists of high school drama class drop-outs.
A new wax museum opens up in a California suburb, and a group of rowdy teenagers are invited in by the eccentric caretaker (David Warner!) free of admission. The wax museum is most-unusual, as it is a hall of fame for classic movie and literary monsters. Strangely, though, all the wax displays lack a victim. The kids are each drawn into a different reality and succumb to the monsters within, becoming a part of the wax display upon their deaths. As it turns out, the caretaker needs the souls of human beings to set the monsters in the wax displays free to roam the Earth. And his collection is almost complete…
The plot is actually rather cool, offering you a dozen different horror movies in one. Some of the horror movie displays are classics, like Dracula, a werewolf, a mummy or the Phantom of the Opera. Others, based on more modern copyrighted material, like the Little Shop of Horrors, appear as parodies. You still get a lot of different horror movie villains all in one, which should keep you from getting bored.
David Warner is the only redeeming cast-member, to be honest. He adds a touch of class to any movie he's in, though I don't think even the Queen of England would have had enough class to offset the losers that made up the rest of the cast. But hey, there's a midget in there, somewhere!
The effects are all pretty low budget, but not terrible. Some come off better than others. There are a few moments of gore that might make one queasy, such as the "steak tar-tar" sequence. I'll leave it at that. The final battle is preposterous, though, with characters making some of the stupidest one-liners since "**** you, Lucky Charms" was uttered at the end of Leprechaun. It makes me cringe every time.
Waxwork is a decent horror movie with a lot of potential, most of which it lives up to. I'd give it a C, but mostly for David Warner. Also, avoid the sequel.

Chicago Transit Authority President Forrest Claypool today proposed a $1.39 billion budget for 2013 that maintains current service levels, freezes base fares, and calls for modest reductions in discounts for CTA passes to bring them in line with other major U.S. cities.
Dashing through the snow and over the rail lines they go, Santa and his reindeer began their annual visit to Chicago November 23, on the CTA Holiday Train—now in its 21st year. The CTA Holiday Train is a festive and one-of-a-kind tradition that's unique to Chicago and is a fun way to enjoy the city during the holiday season.
Following a six-week temporary closure, a more spacious and revitalized Berwyn Red Line station was re-opened.
After successful debuts on the Pink Line and Green Lines, the new 5000-series rail cars were added to the Red Line.
The Chicago Transit Board today approved a plan to add 57 new automated teller machines to all eight CTA rail lines, increasing the number of ATMs for customers by 72 percent. In addition, the Board today approved five new leases that include a new produce shop, a new pastry shop and three newsstand locations at CTA rail stations, all of which will provide additional customer conveniences for CTA's growing ridership and assist the agency in its ongoing efforts to increase non-farebox revenue.
Mayor Emanuel today announced a new Free Fare Card Pilot program for students in five Chicago public high schools.
Mayor Emanuel and CTA President Forrest Claypool announced today that ridership on the Chicago Transit Authority continued its upward trend in the first six months of 2012—with June marking the 16th consecutive month of ridership increases.
CTA's newest rail cars now feature new LED display signs in colors corresponding to the transit system's eight rail lines—another amenity to benefit customers.
In an effort to reduce future expenses and avoid additional impacts to rail service, the Chicago Transit Board approved an amendment to the existing design/build contract for the North Red Line station improvement project.
The Chicago Transit Authority today, through its partner, IMG, issued Requests for Proposals for the naming rights to the CTA Holiday Train, New Year's Eve Penny Rides, Free Rides for Chicago Public Schools students on the first day of school, and CTA Bus Tracker and Train Tracker.

The 2003 Alabama earthquake took place on April 29 at 3:59 A.M. Central Daylight Time (local time when the event occurred) eight miles (13 km) east-northeast of Fort Payne, Alabama. The number of people who felt this quake was exceptionally high as the earthquake could be felt in 11 states across the East Coast and as far north as southern Indiana. The earthquake was strongly felt throughout metropolitan Atlanta. The Georgia Building Authority was called out to inspect the historic Georgia State Capitol in downtown Atlanta and other state-owned buildings but found no problems.  However, this is not out of the ordinary as earthquakes east of the Rocky Mountains can be felt several times the area felt on West Coast earthquakes.  The earthquake was given a magnitude 4.6 on the moment magnitude scale by the USGS (other sources reported as high a magnitude as 4.9) and reports of the duration of the shaking range from 10 seconds to as long as 45 seconds.  It is tied with a 1973 earthquake near Knoxville, Tennessee as the strongest earthquake ever to occur in the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone, which is the second most active seismic zone east of the Rocky Mountains, with the New Madrid Seismic Zone the most active.

The April 29 earthquake caused moderate damage in northern Alabama including a  wide sinkhole northwest of Fort Payne. The quake disrupted the local water supply. There were numerous reports of chimney damage, broken windows, and cracked walls, particularly around the area near Hammondville, Mentone and Valley Head, Alabama. Many 9-1-1 call centers were overloaded with worrisome and panicked residents, who thought it was a train derailment, a bomb, or some other type of explosion that had awakened them. There were several aftershocks, all of magnitude 2.0 or lower, and were not widely felt.

'Entire villages disappeared': Ebola deaths in Sierra Leone 'underreported' – Up to 20,000 Dead
RT.com
Ebola's toll on Sierra Leone is much greater than previously thought, with entire villages killed off by the virus. This means up to 20,000 people could have succumbed to the disease by now, a senior coordinator for Doctors Without Borders (MSF) believes.
READ MORE: Canada imposes visa ban on Ebola-hit African countries
According to Rony Zachariah, coordinator of operational research for MSF, the Ebola impact on Sierra Leone is in fact "under-reported," AFP quotes.
"The situation is catastrophic. There are several villages and communities that have been basically wiped out. In one of the villages I went to, there were 40 inhabitants and 39 died," Zachariah told the agency."Whole communities have disappeared but many of them are not in the statistics. The situation on the ground is actually much worse."
The latest figures from the World Health Organization (WHO) put the total number of dead at 4,951 out of 13,567 recorded cases.
But the real total could be up to 20,000 people dead, Zachariah argues. "The WHO says there is a correction factor of 2.5, so maybe it is 2.5 times higher and maybe that is not far from the truth. It could be 10,000, 15,000 or 20,000."
Zachariah also highlighted the shortage of healthcare workers in the country.

"You have one nurse for 10,000 people and then you lose 10, 11, 12 nurses. How is the health system going to work?" he said.
Even at this point, the pace of dealing with Ebola is slow, he added. "We might get a vaccine and a treatment…but even now we need to go much faster because the clock is ticking…We want action now."
Meanwhile, the latest cases of Ebola in Spain and the US have sparked fears of an even bigger outbreak, prompting Canada to step up its border security so as to limit the risk of infection spreading into the country.
The federal government announced on Friday it is suspending the processing of visa applications for residents and nationals who have been in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone in the last three months. The same goes for permanent residence applications.

The Spanish government has expressed grave concern over the threat of terrorists using Ebola as a biological weapon against the West.
Spain's state secretary for security, Francisco Martinez, addressed the parliament, discussing the possibility of extremists connected to the Islamic State (IS, previously ISIS) using Ebola as a weapon against the West.
There are "many examples" of online terrorist chat logs discussing the use of biological warfare against the West, Spain's RTVE public broadcasting corporation reported.

The adaptation period which is based on the first 10-20 images per series. The page size obtained by folding a whole sheet into four leaves. Sure, this takes a little extra time, but it pays off in the end. This is another technique to help you to read every sentence carefully. This guy, for example, Dean Wesley Smith, author of Writing into the Dark : has written a shitload of novels, and only writes one draft.
What should you do if you forget? Forgetting to edit never helps when You're trying to sell a couch. In this short Porter also discovered that he could use footage recorded previously and in a different location as his main plotline and that the audience would understand that it was meant to take place at the same time. Free software embeded on your system, like windows movie maker,windows live movie maker, and imovie. See if you can spot them! You should proofread only after you have finished all of your other editing revisions. Editing a film so that the pictures flow does not necessarily mean the audio flows as well. Topics : News 2017-05-03 Greetings! Many films use this to their advantage -- The Insider, for example, used it to symbolize a change in the balance of power in a conversation. President and Senior Producer Daniel Redd has crafted multiple teams of seasoned producers, directors, writers, and more.
The following drafts help to turn this creativity into something that is well written and easy to read. Often, having to ignore some photos for a specific project is a real heartbreak. It is also called conventions or proofreading. Then they look for the photos corresponding to the project. See our , , , and. Many writers are sidetracked by the compulsive need to edit while they create, doing so tends to hinder both processes.
But why is video editing important? And ultimately, your book will be placed back on the shelf. Anyone who does it repeatedly will be treated as a vandal. Bad Photos for a Project Can Become Good Photos for Another One The main difficulty of editing good photos is that it is necessary not only to select photos destined for a precise photo project, but also to avoid deleting pictures too quickly. This is thanks to the concept of Persistence of Vision, which manages to ignore the black in favor of following the simulated motion between the frames on the screen. Because the screen direction has been maintained, our eye is able to track the motion continuously so we don't focus on the new surroundings but instead we follow the action. In doing so, the editor will assist in leaving sufficient historical details in place to help orient the latter without bogging down the flow of the story by retaining too much back information.
This is obviously not the reaction you want your readers to experience. A book composed of pages of this size. When a scene is shot, an inherent left-to-right relationship is built automatically from the objects within the frame and it is important, if the goal is to make the editing transparent, that this relationship be kept in tact. If the project is a video slideshow, the photos will be prepared in the correct format according to the pages. I noticed some annoying stylistic issues that had escaped my editorial eye months earlier. To provide narrative clarity, visual cues are necessary, and here the editor's skill is the crucial factor. However, if those thoughts are written down, then editing can change those thoughts into a form that is publishable.
Through their photographic gaze of nature, they strive to highlight the importance of its conservation. Why is it that we can piece together these disparate images? Are there any extraneous or missing sentences in any of your paragraphs? I will list the major ones below, concentrating on the various styles and what they entail. This last part of the editing procedure is to ensure proper technical style along with correcting any final grammatical or punctuation oversights. Make sure that you complete the most important editing and proofreading tasks. It will be possible then to see sections of your raw video, select areas to delete and add effects and titles. So, what exactly is editing? Visit Karen on , , and.
For example, in a wildlife photo project, it is not uncommon to make thousands of photos. Until then, incite yourself to cite when you write! A woman walks across an empty corridor. Then they submit them for approval. They also do full book, screenplay, and some music marketing and promotions services. I am usually overly generous at the onset, until I see a knock me out shot, where I then go back and mark the now not so great image accordingly. You may not understand all the writing and grammatical rules that should apply. The flow that you had may have been wonderful, but it can be jammed up in the blink of an eye.
Sound editing is how your film can set the mood and evoke emotions from your audience. He must disregard the way he made the photos. A sixteen year old soccer player was racing down the field for a game winning goal, bowling opponents over without ever touching them. She is currently an independent scholar working on a scholarly monograph that is expected to be published in 2018 by the University of Pittsburgh Press. Even when visual cues are weak we are often able to understand a cut across the line of action, but these cuts are jarring enough that they can take us out of the 'reality' of the film and remind us that we are, in fact, watching a movie.

The Delta-Central senator, Ovie Omo-Agege, has been paid all his entitlements that accrued from his illegal suspension by the Senate earlier in the year.
The development, on Thursday, put an end to the contempt proceedings initiated by Omo-Agege against the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, before the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Omo-Agege's lawyer, Dr. Alex Izinyon (SAN), informed Justice Nnamdi Dimgba on Thursday that his client was paid on October 12, 2018, barely 24 hours after the court warned Saraki to either pay the judgment debt or appear in court to face the contempt proceedings.
Justice Dimgba issued the warning on October 11, 2018 after he opted to give "the alleged contemnor (Saraki) another opportunity to remedy the alleged wrong".
Omo-Agege had initiated the committal proceedings praying that Saraki be sent to prison as punishment for flouting the May 10, 2018 judgment of the court which ordered him (Omo-Agege) to be reinstated from illegal suspension and be paid all his accrued benefits for the period of the voided suspension.
Izinyon had complained in the Form 49, the contempt charge instituted against Saraki, that while his client had been allowed to resume to the Senate, Saraki had allegedly continued to flout the order directing that the applicant be paid all his entitlements.
He said Saraki, in flouting the judgment, had refused to give an approval to the payment as ordered by the court.
The hearing of the committal proceedings was scheduled for October 11, but the alleged contemnor and his lawyers were absent from court.
Omo-Agege's lawyer, Izinyon, informed the court that the defence did not show up in court despite having been served with the court processes and the hearing notice via newspaper publication as ordered by the court.
He had urged the court to proceed with the hearing in their absence, but the court opted to give the Senate President another chance and adjourned till Thursday.
At the Thursday's proceedings, Izinyon told the judge that his client had been paid on October 12, which was a day after the judge issued a warning to the Senate President.
Izinyon said Saraki was served with the court order of October 11, along with a letter from his chambers informing him of the Thursday's proceedings.
He said the next day, on October 12, one of the Senate President's Special Assistants reached him that his client had nine cheques.
The senior lawyer said he received and acknowledged the receipt of nine cheques on behalf of the senator.
According to the lawyer, when the cheques were presented to Omo-Agege, the senator acknowledged that there was a shortfall of N6m.

Rampant theft at the TSA
A former Transportation Security Administration agent who spent three years in jail for stealing from passenger luggage told ABC News that the practice "was very commonplace." Pythias Brown, who worked at Newark International Airport, said he stole more than $800,000 worth of goods from luggage and security checkpoints. He was finally caught when he tried to sell a stolen CNN camera on eBay but forgot to take off all the stickers that tied the camera to the news network.
"It became so easy, I got complacent," Brown said. Almost 400 TSA officers have been fired for stealing from passengers over the past decade.
My assumption is that if they caught 400 with enough evidence to survive civil service grievance procedures, at least 4000 must be stealing. It's like Goodfella's II.

My Follow-up to Andy Warhol
As most of you know, Andy Warhol once predicted that "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." The statement seems eerily correct given the explosion of talk shows and reality TV, which mainly happened after his statement.
I would like to follow-up on Mr. Warhol's bold prediction with one of my own:
In the future, everyone will be on the TSA's no-fly list
The TSA has the ridiculous policy of stopping everyone with a similar name as a single terrorist subject. So, once a John Smith comes under scrutiny as a possible terrorist, every John Smith gets turned away at the gate.
Sarah Zapolsky's 1-year-old son had better get used to being looked at as a
possible terrorist every time his family gets on a plane.
That's because experts and officials say there's no way the toddler's name
will be taken off the federal no-fly list - even after he and another tot made
headlines for being stopped as potential terror threats.
"His name is the same or similar to someone on the no-fly list," said Ann
Davis, a spokeswoman for the Transportation Security Administration, explaining
that even though a baby is not a threat, someone out there with the same name
is, and the name must be kept on the list.
Hat tip to Hit and Run.

Sheriff Devlin Seeking Two School Resource Officers
Sheriff Richard Devlin Jr. (Credit: www.otsegocounty.com
Otsego County Sheriff Richard Devlin is proposing that the county fund two Deputy Sheriff Positions to be designated as School Resource Officers according to a statement on the Otsego County Sheriff's Office Facebook page. Devlin says it's important to enhance rapport with students, establish a larger presence in schools and to promote school safety. The SRO will assist each school's administrators in their efforts toward security preparedness and prevention of incidents along with being a liaison between the Sheriff's Office and school administrators to coordinate in-school Active Shooter Training. Devlin says this will be discussed further at the May Public Safety Meeting.

THE UNIVERSAL APPEAL & POPULARITY OF COMIC BOOKS
No matter what neighborhood or city you grew up in, no matter whether you were rich or poor, kids from all over the world love superheroes, cartoons, and comics!
The community of comic book fans around the world and in America is a growing and increasingly diverse and welcoming crowd.
Traditionally the demographic focus of comic book publishers has been young, adolescent, primarily white males. However, these days that is no longer the case as publishers are beginning to reflect the changes that have occurred in society and culture over the past few decades.
In today's comics, the most popular superheroes are more likely to be female and Black or Hispanic.
In 2017 a panel presentation based on a University study found that 63% of comics and graphic novels were purchased by men, whereas 37% were purchased by women (Alverson, 2017). The study also revealed that 57% of comics and graphic novels were bought by individuals aged 13-29 years-old (Alverson, 2017).
It is predicted that the percentage of women that buy comics and graphic novels will increase over the next few years as publishers cater to these audiences with characters and themes relevant to these groups.
These changes reflect how nerd and geek culture has gone mainstream.
Today there is widespread recognition and popularity with the Marvel and D.C franchises. Superheroes that everyone can recognize today used to be only niche characters that you would know about if you were a die-hard comic book aficionado.
Let's be honest- no one would recognize characters like Ant-Man or Aqua Man if these weren't franchises produced into big-budget Hollywood films.
While it's true that the adaptation of these comics into box office flicks partially explains the rise in popularity of superheroes in popular culture, there is still something enchanting that gravitates us towards these characters and stories.
The Mono-Myth and Heroes Journey
In 1949, the American comparative religion & mythology professor, Joseph Campbell, published his famous and seminal work The Hero With a Thousand Faces. The book would become widely popular in academia and would even go on to influence individuals like the future Director of the Star Wars franchise, George Lucas.
In his book, Joseph Campbell argued that underlying the majority of the world's greatest myths, legends, and folk stories was the same essential drama that he referred to as the mono-myth.
In Campbell's explanation, the mono-myth also called the "Hero's Journey" or "Heroes Cycle", refers to a series of steps representing the archetypal saga all heroes must undertake. Campbell was influenced by the psychological principles of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud and made references and comparisons to their theories throughout his writing.
Joseph Campbell described the Heroes Cycle as consisting of 17 successive stages broken into 3 acts or broad categories.
These 3 acts are in order: The Departure, The Initiation, and The Return
During the first act of a mono-myth, the hero or heroine typically receives a Call To Adventure, which they may or not Refuse. They then will usually receive further Supernatural or Technological Aid that will allow them to Cross a Threshold that they previously were unable to. While confronting this threshold, they will end up in the proverbial Belly of the Whale scenario- an uncomfortable circumstance that they must recover from somehow.
During the second act of the mono-myth, known as The Initiation, the hero or heroine will be further tested with a Series of Trials, often in a series of three successive tasks or challenges, before they meet with a Goddess or Wise-Woman that will give the hero or heroine items or knowledge they need to complete their quest. Sometimes during the second act (but not always), there is a further Woman as Temptress plot element where the male hero will be seduced and lured away from his quest by a mistress.
The hero/heroine must then progress in their journey to the next stage, the Atonement with the Father/Abyss. During this critical stage, the hero or heroine must face the ultimate authority in their life which is generally presented as a masculine or father-like figure. According to Campbell, facing the father pushes the hero into a psychological conflict where they must reconcile the competing forces of the id and ego.
When the hero/heroine is able to balance the turbulent forces of the id and ego, they are able to emerge with a newly developed consciousness. This consciousness is the super-ego and represents the enlightened and self-aware state of mind that allows an individual to critically analyze and understand their actions and motives. An individual who has control of the superego is the transcended, righteous and morally just hero/heroine.
At this point, the hero/heroine has reached the next stage of the Hero's Journey, the Apotheosis, or climax.
Now that the hero has achieved the goal of their quest, they receive the Ultimate Boon, the transcendent reward of their efforts. Generally, the hero or heroine obtains a 'god-like' state or status, or they receive immortality, finally conquering death. At this point the mono-myth transitions into its final third act The Return.
In the third act, the hero/heroine having obtained a higher level of being may sometimes find themselves at peace. They may characteristically refuse to return back home where their journey began. This is known as the Refusal of the Return. At other times, the hero/heroine while finally obtaining The Ultimate Boon will realize that it is guarded or that taking it into their possession is risky. This will result in a Magic Flight where the hero/heroine must escape and flee back to their starting point.
Sometimes the hero or heroine will receive a Rescue from Without where they receive assistance from a fellow ally or a guide to help them get back on track with their quest and return home to their starting point. As the hero/heroine returns home from their journey, finally having completed their quest, they must encounter The Crossing of the Return Threshold. Now that the hero/heroine has obtained enlightenment, they must learn how to take their experiences and the wisdom gained from them and apply it to everyday life.
It is here that the hero/heroine becomes the Master of Two Worlds having a transcendental understanding about both life's spiritual nature but also its mundane and material nature. The hero/heroine now obtains the Freedom to Live, no longer fearing the unknown and death.
The Mono-Myth and Comic-Book Superheroes
We are all familiar with the drama and the sagas of legendary characters like Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, Tony Stark, Peter Parker, and their respective alter-egos.
These characters resonant with us- we look up to them and pretend to be them as kids; we collect toys and purchase all types of merchandise with their likeness. We constantly make reference to them in our daily lives, and probably will until we are old and have children or grandchildren of our own.
It should come to no surprise that these same modern-day superheroes have stories that easily follow the pattern and typical phases of the Hero's Journey and mono-myth.
Consider for instance the plot behind the widely popular and recognized Iron Man franchise created by the former great comic book legend Stan Lee.
In both the comics and films Tony Stark is an arrogant, genius, ultra-rich billionaire who profits off of the weapons and arms manufacturing industry. While visiting a foreign country, he is attacked and abducted by terrorists and forced to live in captivity. Eventually, he concocts an escape plan by building an invincible iron suit which allows him to fight his captors and free himself. Once free and back home he goes on to develop a more advanced super-suit that allows him to fight enemies and combat evil, eventually becoming the illustrious Iron Man!
During the course of the series, Tony Stark faces several ordeals that force him to better himself physically, mentally, and spiritually. These ordeals are the same archetypal problems faced by history's mythic and legendary heroes like Gilgamesh, Odysseus, Beowulf, King Arthur, and so on.
Through these challenges, Tony Stark eventually becomes not just a superhero, but a better person- the Uberman of the philosophical traditions of great academics like Friedrich Nietzsche.
The mono-myth's various themes can also be found represented in the stories of various popular Japanese manga and anime franchises like Naruto, Bleach, and mature series like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop.
Dragon Ball Z is a critically acclaimed and award-winning Japanese manga and anime series created by Akira Toriyama that premiered in 1989.
The story follows the adventures and sagas of the main character and hero, Goku, who is a Saiyan, a race of super-powered humans. The series starts with Goku being a young kid, learning martial arts and developing his skills and powers. He is led by a sensei called Master Roshi who puts him through a rigorous training regimen. As Goku grows up and matures, he and his friends go through several adventures fighting various bad guys and villains, often who are super-powered and alien themselves.
Throughout the series, Goku and his team known as the 'Z Fighters' have to travel around the Universe collecting the mysterious artifacts called Dragon Balls. Individuals who can find all of the Dragon Balls are able to summon a giant dragon named Shenron that can grant wishes. The story focuses on Goku's efforts to collect the Dragon Balls and defend Earth from the different villains intent on causing trouble. In the series Goku dies several times, only to be successfully brought back to life through the use of the Dragon Balls.
Dragon Ball Z, just like Iron Man, shows us the similar struggles and challenges that all heroes must face as they master their powers and confront evil. Even though Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese cartoon, American audiences and youth were still willing to eagerly embrace this classic.
Today Goku is as popular and recognizable a character as Batman or Superman. This just goes to show how the mono-myth is an excellent concept for helping us explore and understand the universality of our common creative human heritage.
Today's comic book superheroes are simply the legendary gods and goddesses of ancient history's past myths!
COMIC BOOKS, LANGUAGE, AND LITERACY
Comic books have been shown to help improve the literacy rates of different cohorts of children in various academic and comparative studies. It has been shown that comic books can help not only just children learning English as their first language, but that it can also help students learning English as a second language (ESL) who are transitioning from other countries & cultures (Baker, 2011).
The same principle holds true in the reverse for older students who are learning foreign languages… comics can be a great tool to help these students master fluency for those languages!
It's no surprise that comic books help engage children and young adults with literature and reading.
Comics today often have amazing story-telling with deep and fantastic plots that really captivate and entrance audiences. As a result, comics are great at helping children develop what is called "visual literacy", the ability to visually process and comprehend the meaning of symbols and pictorial representations, and derive communicated ideas from these depictions (Tiemensma, 2009).
Visual Literacy is a core competence in developing reading comprehension in children. Children will often master visual literacy before they master reading books. Visual Literacy is often a stepping stone for helping students learn because it provides an additional context to written speech that lets children figure out the meaning of the written text.
Because comics are such great examples of visual story-telling they are often adapted into big-budget Hollywood movies, quickly becoming classics of popular culture and entertainment. Yet, comics help children with literacy where movies can't through the necessity of reading captions, speech bubbles, and text effects that reinforce critical reading and comprehension skills.
Children can learn about the common narrative structures of story-telling through reading comics and graphic novels (Baker, 2011).
Comics are referred to as a form of 'sequential art' meaning that images are used in a consecutive and congruent manner to help visually tell a story (Tiemensma, 2009).
Sequential art requires that readers interpret images and symbols while using that knowledge to make meaning from the page and written text, even if they do not have fully developed reading comprehension skills (Tiemensma, 2009).
With sequential art, kids can gain a grasp of complex narratives and develop their visual and reading comprehension.
Reading comics can act as a gateway for getting children to read more dense and sophisticated works of literature. Often at times, many graphic novels themselves are sophisticated works of art and literature that allow children to imagine powerful dramatic scenarios and learn important moral and ethical lessons.
Mature graphic novels like V for Vendetta and Watchmen by the famous comic book legend Alan Moore can help high-school students comprehend complex political and social themes such as authoritarianism and civil rights.
Graphic novels like the award-winning Maus by Art Spiegelman can help adolescents grapple with horrific historical events like the Holocaust.
GAMES TEACH AND HELP US GROW
Another big feature of the typical local neighborhood comic book shop is the rows and rows of fantasy-based and science fiction themed card and board games available.
As a kid in elementary and middle school, I would spend countless hours before, during, and after school, playing the latest games that were all the craze. I fondly remember growing up playing trading card games like Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! Nothing was more exciting as a kid than getting a booster pack of Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh! cards and opening them up to reveal what was inside. Finding rare holographic foil cards was like winning the lottery, and nothing felt better than showing off my coolest and rarest cards to fellow friends at school.
Games and play are great experiential learning opportunities for children, providing them with fun and engaging real-life scenarios to gather knowledge and expertise.
Trading card games and board games can help developing children learn and master mathematical competencies such as number recognition, number sequencing, counting, ordinality, relative size, addition and subtraction, and other key important math skills (Vogt & Others, 2018). It has been shown that children who master these concepts at an early age are more likely to perform later in middle-school and high-school math courses.
Collectible card games like Pokemon by their very design can help kids become more analytical and reasoned thinkers by forcing kids to utilize 'systematic analysis' to determine which cards to collect, trade, and use in their decks (Vasquez, 2003). Kids have to assess the value of cards and make comparative decisions based on their understanding of the value of the cards. This is done by interacting, playing, and talking with other kids. Practicing skills like this can be the foundation for teaching kids how to develop critical opinions about topics through experience and observation.
Everyone knows kids need to be able to connect and play with others that share the same hobbies as them… and for good reason!
Many of the popular trading card, role-playing, and board games that are available today are excellent at helping both children (and adults) exercise not just strategy and decision-making skills but also teamwork and social skills.
Playing games has also been shown to provide significant psychological and emotional health effects for children, including reducing stress, helping improve self-expression and self-identity, and reinforcing positive emotional development (Toy, 2006).
Card games and board games are great extracurricular activities because they can help children gain new skills, become more self-confident, become thoughtful communicators, become more analytical and critical thinkers, and allows them to have safe and healthy outlets for relaxing and reducing stress (Toy, 2006).
THE DECLINE OF COMIC-BOOK STORES
We all agree that comic book stores are great! So why is there so few of them left?
The decline of comic book stores is a topic that has been given serious attention by all types of economists, publishers, fans, and local business owners.
The majority of comic books and graphic novels are sold and distributed through large retail book stores like Barnes and Nobles, Books-A-Million, and stores within other related retail markets such as Gamestop and Moviestop. Smaller regional chains and local stores also will sell comics and graphic novels.
What about the traditional comic book store though? As of 2019, there are currently about 2000 comic book shops nationwide in the United States (O'Leary, 2019). The vitality of comic book shops is often associated with the yearly total sales of comics and graphic novels to stores.
During the 1990s the demand for comic books, trade paperbacks, and graphic novels was at an all-time high. In recent years that demand has waned, with a dramatic drop in sales for the year 2017 that signaled hard times ahead for many local shops.
The main culprit for this decline is often blamed on the rise in popularity of online retailers and websites like Amazon and eBay.
Amazon and eBay have made it hard for local shops to compete because they can offer lower prices and often offer a larger selection of titles than the average store.
Another trend that has severely impacted the growth of neighborhood comic book shops is the focus on large publishers like Marvel, D.C, and Image comics on offering their catalogs of comics as digital subscriptions versus printed issues.
These companies encourage fans to purchase digital subscriptions which allow them to read and enjoy their favorite comics on their computers, smartphones, and tablets versus print subscriptions which would require them to mail out printed copies of comics.
Digital subscriptions are popular with publishers because they cut costs in the publication and distribution of their comics. Not only that but with newly available technology and faster internet speeds, digital subscriptions have become a more viable option over the past few years for providing consumers access to high-quality scans of their favorite comics.
"The Video Game Effect"
The kids today are different. It doesn't seem as if they enjoy the same kind of childhood experiences that many of us millennials and baby boomers are accustomed to. The kids of today, "Generation Z", have significantly different lifestyle behaviors and attitudes that make them sharply distinct from their predecessors, the Millenials.
Generation Z youth are more likely to enjoy time doing things online than in person. They also have different attitudes towards marketing and advertising that influence their shopping behavior. Finally, they prefer to spend more time playing video games than Millenials, accounting for a large share of their available free time for hobbies and extracurriculars.
Today everything is dominated by online gaming, social media, and popular culture.
Generation Z's perspective on social activities and gaming has led to dramatic effects on the comic book industry. The idea of going out to a local business to hang out and play games with others for several hours doesn't make as much sense to the youth of Generation Z as it did to us Millenials.
Why go through all the effort when you can just as easily turn on your PS4 or Xbox One and play Fortnight with your friends all from the comfort of your home?
THE COMIC BOOK STORE OF THE FUTURE
The comic book store of the future will be a place for more than just comics.
In order to remain competitive and to maintain relevancy, the comic book shop of the future will have to expand its retail focus to include other hobbies that are similar such as video games, retro items, and other types of collectible merchandise such as sports memorabilia.
Comic book shops are community hubs. All great comic book shops often sponsor in-house events and competitions for games like Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokemon, and other popular franchises.
When comic book shops sponsor local game nights, they are doing much more than just providing opportunities for children to have fun.
Local game nights are a great extracurricular activity for children because it lets them meet, interact, and learn together in a common shared space outside of schools. Bringing kids together over a shared hobby like this allows them to bond and create lifelong friendships.
When we have children from different backgrounds working cooperatively together we are creating conditions and an environment where we can sponsor and appreciate differences across cultures, embrace diversity, and create future solidarity for a community as the kids become adults.
Children and teenagers growing up all over America do share much in common, and by bringing them together through community events like local game nights at the neighborhood comic book shop we can enable them to realize and appreciate this shared culture.
Overall, it is this type of community outreach and engagement that makes comic book shops truly unique and so dearly loved by everyone. Multiple generations of American children have enjoyed the benefits that the neighborhood comic book store provides.
What neighborhoods would benefit from having a comic book store?
The neighborhoods that would benefit the most from the addition of a neighborhood comic book shop would be low-income neighborhoods in both the inner-city and in rural communities with a significant youth population.
Bringing comic book shops to these neighborhoods can help enhance the community landscape by providing a creative, fun, and engaging form of entertainment and recreation to local youth.
In addition, neighborhood comic book shops can help stimulate economic opportunity as a small business.
Comic Book Shops can be used to help enhance the image of neighborhoods and make them more family-friendly. Alternatively, they can be part of community main-street revitalization campaigns that bring life to small towns again.
The possibilities are endless just like the fantastical stories of our favorite superheroes…
Maybe it is time we let these superheroes do what they do best and help save America!
Check out your local neighborhood comic book shop today and show your support by purchasing a trade paperback or two.
Or maybe go play a card game of Pokemon with some young kids and tell them about all the original 150 Pokemon from the 1st generation that they probably know nothing about. Then enjoy their response as they excitedly educate you on all the latest Pokemon that you know nothing about!
Taking the time to visit your local comic book shop is the perfect opportunity to positively interact with your local community.
We here at Hoodie Goodies appreciate our local comic book shops and will always cherish them. We hope you do as well!
