From 1st April 2019, Dudley Council has introduced a charge to search the HER. The following charges apply:
The Dudley Historic Environment Record (HER) is an electronic, map-based, indexed database of all known heritage assets in the Borough.
You can access and search the Dudley HER through the Heritage Gateway.
The HER is a valuable and comprehensive resource which is used extensively by a wide range of people including officers from many different parts of the Council, planning consultants, academic researchers, developers, schools and members of the public:
for interpretive and educational purposes;
to supply general and detailed information about the Borough's heritage;
to supply data in response to both site-specific and area-based queries;
to formulate talks, displays and publications and so make the Borough's history accessible to residents and visitors alike;
as the starting point for the giving of planning advice in respect of development proposals affecting any aspect of the historic environment. If any part of a development proposal is of historic interest developers should always consult the HER before formulating detailed proposals. Reference to the archaeological flowchart for potential development sites will help guide the sequence for determining archaeological significance.
If you have a complex query then please email email@example.com.

Getting The Shade Right
Getting The Shade Right – Hair shading is a standout amongst the most normally utilized hair medications.

Hair shading operators are of four sorts, transitory, changeless, semi perpetual colors and lasting colors.
There are three techniques for hair shading
All over:This technique is done when you need to completely change your hair shading. Dissimilar to highlights, shading the hair all over will give the hair an even look. Hair such hued require a touch up each four to two months. For straight hair, utilize translucent hues.

· Highlighting utilizing Foils:This strategy includes adding strands of shading to the hair. You have to separate strands that are to be shaded from whatever is left of the hair. For straight hair, abstain from utilizing an excessive number of highlights, this will just wind up making a swarmed impact.

Talking on the Phone
Over the past several months we have been able to hold the phone to Drew's ear, and prompt him with what to say. (Tell Daddy, "I love you!") But this time, things are different. Drew is actually having full conversations with me. (And this isn't being done on speakerphone, or with any assistive technology. He is holding the portable phone to his ear, like you or me, and listening and talking!) And while his speech isn't completely intelligible over the phone, I can get most of the conversation.
Today we talked about his lunch. He went "to McDonald's with Gramma." Upon further questioning I found out that he ate a cheeseburger. And when I asked if he ate the whole thing, he said, "Yeah! I did!" But he "didn't have fries today."
We talked about his love of basketball. "Mama, I shoot the ball in my basketball hoop net." He also told me about how he played basketball at Gramma's house, and "made a brick."
When I asked Drew whether or not he slept well last night, he said, "My sheets wet." I immediately knew that, once again, his overnight diaper leaked and he wet the bed!
And best of all, he said, "I love you Mama!"

Hello Everyone!
As it is the first of July and I don't have any June favourites to post I've decided to put up a new feature of my blog which has been inspired by other bloggers where they post about the products on their face. Basically an everyday make-up.
I will be showing you my everyday make-up products, The reason for this is so that I can show you what products I'm using and loving this month. And hopefully some of you can recommend some of the products you all love.
I've decided to call this feature Beauty Enhancing, the whole idea behind this is that everyone has beauty inside and out, but we all just use make-up to feel better about ourselves NOT because it makes you beautiful, although it does make us look better I think it's ideal that everyone is self confident in not having to ALWAYS wear make-up, I will be posting the make-up products I am using on the first of every month.
The above products include my favourite four brushes, a thin lizzy brush, real techniques buffing brush, real techniques contour brush and a real techniques deluxe crease brush. Eyelash curlers and my Maybelline the falsies. A Maybelline Baby lips to moisturise and a Nivea pink pearl shine on top. Lastly a Colour Tattoo I recently bought in Bad to the Bronze, review coming soon.
The face consist of my Loreal True Match foundation in N2 Vanilla, a Maybelline Fit Me concealer in no.10, my beloved Rimmel Sat Matte transparent powder and an almost empty Thin Lizzy 6 in 1 professional powder in Light.
On the eyes I also forgot to include I used a gold eye shadow from my Sedona Lace palette here.

Due to the recent advances in unsupervised language processing methods, it's now possible to use large unannotated corpora such as biomedical PubMed Open Access (PMC-OA) for generating word embeddings, which can be further used for many natural language tasks such as text classification, named entity recognition etc. In this study, we carry a thorough investigation of word embeddings generated using word2vec model from PMC-OA. We investigate their quality and explore the domain specific challenges. We perform three tests – odd-one out, word similarity and word analogy and compare their quality on human-curated gold-standard datasets. We also compare parameter settings and share results on test accuracies, time & computation resources. Our results show that domain specific training is significant for generating quality word embeddings and though there is accuracy gain by increasing text window and dimension size but after a point the change is insignificant as the time complexity increases linearly.

Love, Patience and Technology Key to Movement Opportunities Via Education Program
Program for the Severely Handicapped Aids in Mobility
Instructional Aide Laurie Melton's Incredibles smock is a big hit with her students at L.B. Hill Learning Center. Covered with characters from the popular animated movie, her students love it. They're excited to see heroes "Dash," "Elastigirl," "Violet" and, of course, "Mr. Incredible." Part of their appeal is a superhuman ability to run, jump and fly — things all kids want to do.
Under the direction of Dr. Marilyn Rankin, this long established program within the Special Services Division, helps orthopedically disabled students achieve not superhuman skills — but, given the severity of their disabilities — some incredible results. It's known as M.O.V.E. (Movement Opportunities Via Education) International, and it is an integral part of the Severely Handicapped Program in five Tulare County special education centers. M.O.V.E. was established nearly 20 years ago by a Kern County teacher of the severely handicapped utilizing some locally developed equipment. Since then, it has been adopted by educators throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
M.O.V.E. helps children and young adults with severe disabilities acquire independence in sitting, standing and walking. As a result, they gain greater mobility, better health and enhanced personal dignity. With increased abilities to sit, stand, and walk, the burden of care for families and other care providers is decreased, thereby bringing new opportunities for fuller participation and involvement in family life, as well as integration and inclusion in the wider community. L.B. Hill teacher Cheri Anderson says: "These skills also aid in physiological development. Children who can sit and stand have better digestion, bone and muscle development and circulation — overall better health."
A few years after M.O.V.E. Pioneer Linda Bidabe began her program in Bakersfield, Special Services Administrator Dr. Michael Stephens, Janet Rogers (who became Tulare County's trainer), and a few other teachers from L.B. Hill Learning Center went to observe the program. "It was something we were very excited to offer our students. After time in training, we acquired some of our first pieces of equipment and piloted the program at the L.B. Hill Learning Center in Porterville in spring 1991," says Dr. Stephens. "M.O.V.E. has been a great program for many students who years ago may have been confined to a chair. Every year at Special Services graduation, it's gratifying to see young men and women who have improved mobility and communication skills gained through the program," says Tulare County Superintendent of Schools Jim Vidak.
From L.B. Hill, M.O.V.E. has spread to Learning Centers in Tulare, Visalia and Yettem. With the expansion came the acquisition of additional equipment and training. "I appreciate Mr. Vidak's support of the program. Whenever we needed equipment for new centers or to improve our instruction, he was there," says Stephens.
Since its implementation, teachers have seen significant progress in students. The program has proven to be extremely flexible with staff constantly developing new ways to implement its features. M.O.V.E. does not replace traditional therapy but rather works along side such programs.
M.O.V.E. classrooms are full of equipment and aides working with students on individual plans in one of three phases of the program. Gait walkers, prone standers, advancement chairs and other pieces of equipment are the most noticeable element of the setting, but they're just part of the curriculum. M.O.V.E. is an activity-based curriculum designed to teach students basic motor skills needed for adult life within the home and community environments. Ms. Anderson notes that activity frequency as organized by aides, therapists and teachers is one of the keys to building skills. M.O.V.E. combines natural body mechanics with an instructional process to help the students acquire increased amounts of independence. The curriculum also provides a foundation for parental involvement in the selection of student activities.
Students progress through three skills levels to the highest "Graduate Level." Students at this level have independent mobility in the home and need minimal assistance in the community. Participants, who complete this level, graduate from the program and can expand their motor skills through traditional programs. "Because of their individual disabilities, not all students reach the graduate level," says Dr. Stephens. "Regardless, there are valuable skills learned at each level. Once achieved, we have given both the students and their parents some tools for a fuller life." For more information on M.O.V.E. and programs for students with severe handicaps, contact Dr. Michael Stephens at 730-9917.

SCICON Expands Student Accommodations
Outdoor Education Program Undertakes Three Major Projects and a State Survey
As the wildflowers bloomed outside, SCICON Director Rick Mitchell and his staff were inside the Porterville Learning Center presenting to the Tulare County Board of Education plans and progress reports on three significant projects along with results from a statewide survey on Outdoor Education.
The survey was designed to measure the impact of outdoor education on at-risk sixth graders and focused on 255 students attending programs in Los Angeles, San Diego and Tulare Counties. Highlights from the survey included a 27 percent increase in science scores and significant gains in self-esteem, conflict resolution, relationships with peers, problem solving, motivation to learn and behavior in class. Further details of the survey can be found at www.tcoe.org/scicon.
The construction projects Mitchell described are designed to expand and enhance student accommodations at the respected outdoor education program. Tulare County Superintendent of Schools Jim Vidak explains: "The projects will enable us to continue to serve 100 percent of our student population, including those with special needs, well into the future."
Circle J-Norris Ranch. The first construction project is underway at the Circle J-Norris Ranch — the field study site used by students of all ages six miles west of SCICON. The building, which will be completed in August 2005, is a welcome center nestled into a hillside to minimize its impact on the beautiful site. It contains a student receiving area, restrooms for boys and girls, office and storage space, a covered area for displays and an assembly area.
SCICON Special Education Center. In 1979, the award winning SCICON Handicabin was built so that male and female special education students could participate in the week-long outdoor education program. A second cabin for special needs students is expected to be constructed during the 2005-06 school year. The addition of this cabin will double the number of accessible bedrooms for special needs students, provide indoor classroom space, as well as separate quarters for the parent or guardian of a severely involved student who needs close monitoring.
New SCICON Student Village. Late last year, SCICON received an $811,000 gift from an anonymous local donor. The donor's gift has been designated exclusively for the purpose of constructing a new student village. Once completed, the new village will include six new student cabins, boys' and girls' restroom facilities, an outdoor arbor/classroom structure, an amphitheater and a building to house staff. The village is planned for the western side of the site - within walking distance of the dining hall. "This location gives us opportunities to develop new activity centers and trails for our students, while at the same time minimizing the environmental impact on the existing cabin sites," says Mr. Vidak. "The addition of these cabins will mean that 60 to 70 more Tulare County students can visit our incredible program each week."

Acclaimed Business Ethics Training Available
SEE Program Receives Grant from Tulare County Workforce Investment Board
Tulare County businesses requested it and now Tulare County Office of Education's Services for Education and Employment (SEE) program can provide it. Armed with a $250,000 grant awarded from the Tulare County Workforce Investment Board, Inc. (TCWIB) and training from leading ethicist Michael Josephson, SEE is beginning to provide Workplace Ethics Training to Tulare County employers and job seekers. Ethics training was identified as a critical need by local employers that participated in community conversations held by the TCWIB. Based on this finding, the TCWIB authorized funding for the program being developed by SEE.
"We are delighted to make this training available to local businesses and employees," says Tulare County Superintendent of Schools Jim Vidak. "Ethics training has been an important part of our support to local school districts for over a decade. Training for businesses, through our SEE Program, is a natural extension of our service in this important area," says Mr. Vidak.
The training is based on the Ethics in the Workplace program, pioneered by Michael Josephson, founder of the CHARACTER COUNTS! Program. In April, Mr. Josephson conducted several seminars for workplace trainers — the same training he has given to leaders of Fortune 500 Companies, government agencies including the FBI, Department of Defense, the CIA, California State Legislature and major charitable organizations like Goodwill International and United Way.
Under the 18-month grant, ethics training will be free of charge to any Tulare County employer as well as to any resident seeking employment. For businesses, training will cover a wide array of topics including on-the-job theft, employee attendance, workplace conflict and inappropriate conduct. SEE's Marilyn Willers and Frank Escobar, Jr. are the lead trainers for the program. Mr. Escobar will focus on the job-seeker workshops, while Ms. Willers works with businesses. For businesses, she explains: "We begin with a questionnaire that identifies an employer's areas of concern. The Ethics in the Workplace curriculum we received is so extensive that our trainers can design classes specifically geared to meet the employer's needs." Training can be conducted at the employer's job site, tailored in duration and offered with follow-up sessions.
To measure the effectiveness of the program, SEE is prepared with pre- and post-training tests. Each employer will be given a pre-test at the first meeting. Following their second session, participants will complete a post-test that will, hopefully, demonstrate positive changes promoting better attendance, greater productivity and better work habits. SEE is committed to providing nearly 300 workshops to employers and 144 job-seeker workshops at the Employment Connection offices in Visalia, Tulare, Porterville and Dinuba. Ms. Willers reports that she is beginning to work through Business Resource Centers and local Chambers of Commerce to solicit their support and marketing assistance for the program. For more information on the Ethics in the Workplace program, contact her at (559) 733-6730.

Superintendent Vidak Wins SSDA Award
Charles Binderup Award Honors County Superintendent for First Time in Its History
On April 1, Tulare County Superintendent of Schools Jim Vidak received the Charles Binderup Award at the 22nd Annual Small School Districts' Association (SSDA) Conference in Sacramento. The Binderup Award is given annually to one of California's outstanding superintendents. Mr. Vidak, who is the first County Superintendent of Schools to receive this honor in its 10-year history, was chosen for his vision, integrity and dedication to the public education system.
Serving his fourth term as County Superintendent, Jim Vidak began his career in education approximately 45 years ago. In addition to providing services to 46 school districts and College of the Sequoias with a variety of business, personnel, instructional support and special education services — on any given day — you'll find Mr. Vidak listening and advising concerned parents; assisting district superintendents and board members; collaborating with government agencies; and overseeing activities and programs that directly benefit students.
Tulare County has a high concentration of small school districts — over 80% of the county's districts have less than 2,500 students. "I'm proud of Tulare County Office of Education's history in serving our many fine small school districts," says Mr. Vidak. "This award is a direct reflection on the commitment to service shared by every employee of the Tulare County Office of Education." At a recent Tulare County Board of Education meeting, he praised staff and said the award was a team effort. "In reality, the plaque could go home with a different employee each night."

Theatre Workshop Culminates with SEUSSICAL
Imagine a world where anything is possible — an elephant in a tree, a person too tiny to see. Imagine a magical, musical world and you've got Seussical the Musical — an amazing Broadway show that appeals to audiences of all ages. The production creates the witty, wild and whimsical world of Dr. Seuss as it has never been seen before. Seussical weaves together many of his most famous stories and characters in unexpected ways, with a score by the Tony Award winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.
Students enrolled in the Theatre Company's semester-long workshop will perform Seussical this month. The workshop, available to Tulare County students in grades 1 - 12, features instruction in musical theatre methods such as dance, acting and voice. In addition to appearances at community events, students also perform larger productions like Seussical. "The Theatre Company's workshops and Performing Troupe continue to offer bigger and more challenging opportunities to students throughout the year," says County Superintendent of Schools Jim Vidak.
Performances of Seussical the Musical will be held at El Diamante High School Theatre, 5100 W. Whitendale, Visalia on May 6 at 5:30 p.m.; May 7 at 1:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.; and May 8 at 1:00 p.m. Tickets are $5.00. For more information, call 651-1482.

Gallery Notes
California Department of Education released the names of this year's California Distinguished Schools including Live Oak Middle School in Tulare. The program was formed in 1985 to identify and honor some of the state's most exemplary and inspiring public schools. Live Oak Middle School was the only Tulare County school to receive the award this year. At the same time, Tulare Union High School was one of 12 schools honored statewide for excellence in vocational education.

I saw your posts about your stream benchmark. I obtained a copy
and have been playing around with it. I ran it on a 540 (256M memory,
xlf 2.2, option -O, n=3000000). I enclose the output.
I saw your post in which you try to compute a theoretical rate
for the 550. I believe you have a slightly inaccurate picture of how the
S/6000 cache works. When a cache miss occurs on a store operation the
appropriate line is read into the cache from main memory and the store is
performed. When a line is brought into cache it may be necessary to put
the line it replaces back in memory. The machine keeps track of which
cache lines have been altered. If a cache line has not been altered
it may just be overwritten. However if the cache miss causes a line
that has been altered to be replaced the altered line must be stored
back to memory (since the stores to the altered line have not yet been
reflected to memory). In practice buffers are used so the incoming
cache line is read in before the outgoing line is read out. Therefore
each of your tests involves one additional read into cache. You may
check this by altering them to overwrite one of the inputs (the alter-
ed tests should perform better).

What: Town Attorney candidate interviews
When: 3 to 6 p.m., Monday
Where: 645 Holbrook St.
More info: erieco.gov
Erie's pick for a new town attorney to fill the soon-to-be vacant post will draw from one of three Denver law firms, heralding the latest change to the town's transitioning top staff.
The town's Board of Trustees will hold public interviews with the candidates during a study session on Monday, according to a staff report for the meeting. Officials are scheduled to convene in an executive session later that evening, where they likely will make a decision.
It's unclear when the town release its decision publicly.
The final three nominees — which include Kendra Carberry of Hoffman, Parker, Wilson and Carberry, P.C., Chris Price of Widner and Juran, LLP and Joseph Rivera of Murray Dahl Kuechenmeister and Renaud LLP — were culled from an unknown number of applications after an April 23 request for proposal was sent out.
The three are vying to fill the position of outgoing Town Attorney Mark Shapiro, whose practice is based in Boulder.
Shapiro did not respond to multiple requests for comment on Friday.
Shapiro's legal services are contracted by the town for roughly $148,000 a year, according to records obtained via a public information request. For comparison, Boulder paid its city attorney, Tom Carr, about $218,000 last year.
It's unclear if the Erie's selection for new town attorney will be paid a similar salary.
In the waning months of his tenure, Shapiro shepherded the town through some of its more controversial oil and gas regulatory efforts, including the town's controversial odor ordinance — currently the subject of litigation with a local drilling firm — and increased setback requirements.
He is expected to leave his post later this month; when he does, it will mark the latest shift in the town's old guard in recent months, one that has seen the exit of its former longtime town clerk, Nancy Parker, who resigned earlier this year after a Weld County District Attorney's Office investigated how she handled the ballot order process in the days ahead of April's election. Jessica Koenig has since stepped in to fill the position.
Shapiro's departure also comes just weeks after former Town Administrator, A.J. Krieger, was fired suddenly by the town's new leadership for unspecified reason. He has since found a new job in Firestone.
Farrell Buller is currently serving as Erie's town administrator in the interim; the town earlier this week began the search process to find Krieger's replacement.

1212 North Wells Street
Chicago, Illinois 60610
The Neapolitan was an innovative new construction condominium
project undertaken by RDM Development. The 18-story residential
high-rise was developed on an ideal site located at the intersection
of Division and Wells in the Old Town neighborhood.
There are 95 carefully designed condominium residences housed
in the building and the development also features a host of amenities.
These include a two-level garage, tennis and basketball courts,
and private balconies. Residents were offered a variety of floor
plans, the option of combining units, as well as the opportunity
to purchase striking penthouse residences with expansive balconies.
This RDM Development project was successfully completed in March
2001. The Neapolitan helped to revitalize the immediate surrounding
area and today it serves as a gateway to the Old Town neighborhood.

David K. Shipler calls himself a free-speech absolutist in his seventh book, "Freedom of Speech: Mightier Than the Sword."
"Lines are murky," he writes, "and it's always risky to use vague characterizations to give authorities the power to shut down speech whose content (rather than method) displeases them." The point of the 1st Amendment, he continues, is to encourage debate and dissent. This means all debate and dissent, even that which makes reasonable people wary about the health — mental or otherwise — of the republic.
"Freedom of Speech": A May 3 review of the book "Freedom of Speech: Mightier Than the Sword" by David K. Shipler referred to New York Times journalist James Risen as Shipler's former colleague. They did not work at the Times at the same time. —
The question of course is what constitutes "reasonable," a dilemma with a different shape in the United States than in other Western democracies. "One of the pleasures of free speech in America," Shipler explains, "is the ability to draw from any source and statement to bolster your view. Nothing is placed off-limits by censorship. But unless the speech is heard with vigilance, unless the audience exercises critical listening, the result is not enlightening."
What Shipler — a former New York Times foreign correspondent who won a 1987 Pulitzer Prize for his book "Arab and Jew: Wounded Spirits in a Promised Land" — is describing is the anything-goes nature of American democracy in which, theoretically at least, every notion will stand or fall on its merits in the marketplace of ideas. It's the sustaining argument of "Freedom of Speech," that this right, enshrined in the 1st Amendment, serves as a collective superpower, allowing us to diffuse bad ideas.
"[S]peech is not a crime," he writes, "even offensive speech. On the contrary, turning bigoted speech into the sunlight is much more curative than keeping it under wraps, because out in the open it can be countered and rebutted."
By way of illustration, he offers not a history so much as a set of case studies reflecting our fractured times. In five largely self-contained sections, Shipler examines attempts to remove novels such as Graham Swift's "Waterland" and Toni Morrison's "Beloved" from high school classrooms; he considers whistle-blowers, political speech in the age of Citizens United and Islamophobia. He writes at length about the racist hate speech directed at the president.
"If you have a flimsy argument," he notes, "you can infuse it with vigor by using subtle racial stereotyping: Obama as all show and no substance, Obama as incompetent, Obama as deceptive, Obama as dangerous, Obama as not truly American. Deeply ingrained doubts about African-Americans, long embedded in the majority white culture, seem to have an amplifying effect."
Shipler is right — both about the festering stain of racism and its effect on our political discourse, and also in regard to the role free speech plays in the interplay of ideas. This is why it's essential to defend the rights of those whose views we find repellent: anti-Islamic demagogues such as one-time FBI agent John Guandolo, who claims to have "direct sources … [who say] that CIA director John O. Brennan converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia"; parents like Patti DeVivo, who, in a dispute with her daughter's school over the book "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," said, "This freedom of speech, it drives me crazy."
Throughout "Freedom of Speech," the author allows such figures to express their beliefs before debunking them. Free speech by example, one might say, although it ultimately reveals a flaw in his argument. For freedom of speech to create the desired debate, after all, we need a populace that is if not informed then capable of critical thinking. Without that, we risk falling prey to what Josef Goebbels called the big lie, in which falsehoods, repeated often enough, take on the veneer of truth.
As an example, there's the "birther" controversy, which lingers even after the release of the president's long-form birth certificate. "To rummage around in the subject online is like stepping into a dizzying fantasy of bad satire," Shipler writes. "Then you realize that the people writing this stuff take themselves seriously." In a 2012 Pew poll, 17% believed Obama was Muslim. A 2011 CBS poll found that 25% of respondents thought he'd been born outside the U.S. That this is not the case doesn't matter; such is the power of belief.
So what do we do about it? Shipler doesn't address that in any detail, preferring to fall back on a loose faith in openness as an ideal. And yet, especially in his chapters on whistle-blowers — including Thomas Drake, once a senior NSA official, and Jesselyn Radack, a former Justice Department attorney, both of whom reported intelligence abuses — we see the flip side of that faith.
"You become radioactive," Radack explains. "… Once you've been labeled … by your government, no one wants to touch you." This suggests that the most dangerous threat to freedom of speech — indeed, to freedom — may not come from extremes of right or left but rather from the government.
Shipler's account of the challenges faced by journalists is marred by giving too much attention to New York Times journalist James Risen, a decision that seems a little cozy, despite Risen's courage and character. Nonetheless, his larger case is chilling, with its implication that the battle for press freedom may already be irreparably compromised.
For the record
May 3, 3:28 p.m.: An earlier version of this article implied that David K. Shipler and James Risen were once colleagues at the New York Times. They never worked at the Times at the same time.
"In fact," Shipler writes, "officials have told some journalists that there is no longer any need to try to force reporters to identify their sources, so sweeping is the surveillance of communications." He cites Lucy Dalglish of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, who was told: "You've seen your last subpoena. We don't need your people."
What this suggests is that freedom of speech is both right and privilege, that we can neither take it for granted nor back away. For Shipler, it's essential that we find a middle ground where we can hear one another, where we can debate and disagree with respect.
Again, I remain somewhat skeptical that this is possible, given the tone of contemporary discourse, but what other option do we have? No, we must participate in the conversation about who we are and who we want to be. That it is unruly, disturbing, scary even, goes without saying; this is also why it's necessary. "Freedom of speech," Shipler insists, "implies the freedom to hear."

Although technically you could also do this naked.
When it comes to doing crazy things with exotic supercars, the first thing that comes to mind is Tax The Rich. And if you look closely at the license plate of this gorgeous Ferrari F50, that's exactly what you see. In a collaboration with water sports athlete Jorge Gill, the company that puts supercars in the most unusual of scenarios thought it would be a good idea to use the F50 to pull the professional wakeboarder along a stretch of waterway.
Tying a rope to the massive rear wing and firing up the screaming V12, the wakeboarder gets up to around 84 mph while skimming across the dirty canal.

I wanted the brand to cater to all types of women - whether you wear the scarves as a hijab or a fashion accessory.
I want this brand to be inclusive of everyone and bring people of different cultural backgrounds together. That's why when I carefully chose the amazing model (Marina Kutum) I wanted to make a statement that scarves can be worn for style and not just for culture.
Liansa Photography (photographer on the brand campaign) was the perfect candidate to bring out the best of the brands colours and striking detail. It's the first time working with her but I love her work on this shoot and can't wait to do more!
Hope you guys enjoy the Styling and Imagery for this campaign. I'll let you know when there's more!!

Shooting Video - Intro
This is a basic look at shooting video - tips, tricks and helps for you in all kinds of areas. This information is also extremely useful for photographers interested in 'framing' a shot.
Updated November 2015.
Framing The Shot
When you shoot video, get the action in the centre of the lens of the camera, unless going for an effect. Professional camera work has the subject nicely placed in the centre of the camera. Remember that your video camera viewfinder doesn't accurately represent either colour, or the actual scene your camcorder is shooting. What you film is usually a bit wider than the image you view in a viewfinder - one reason why people have a monitor on video shoots.
It is important when farming a subject, that you do not cut them off at the body joints. So, do not put the subject in the frame chopped off at the waist, at the kees, or at the shoulders. Instead, fix the shot so that the camera is either side of the joints. So for example
There is also the thirds rule, dividing the frame up into thirds and then framing the subject accordingly.
At other times, it's good to have a subject in the centre of the shot, again thinking about not cutting off 'joints' and following the thirds rule...
If the subject is facing a certain direction, then set the camera so that there is some 'air space' in the direction which they are facing. So, for example, in the shot below, the subject is facing to the right. Therefore, the subject is framed to the left, with air space to the right (in the direction they are facing). Other times this can work as a nice shot anyway, using the rule we looked at above.
If you are shooting video of people watching a talk, apply the same rule - leaving air space in the direction which they are facing. Make sure there isn't too much 'space' behind the subject you are shooting. If you have several people in shot, try not to cut off too many people's heads!
1. Use a Tripod
You must use a tripod unless its a quick, dramatic scene that doesn't need a tripod. The film is shakey without a tripod and looks very amateur-ish. And remember - get a tripod specific to shooting video, not just a cheapo one, if you can afford. . If you want smooth 'pans' (left to right motion) etc, then get a quality tripod - try spending at least £150 and going for Velbon, Manfrotto etc.
What happens when you buy a cheap tripod is that the movement is not steady so any panning looks messy and 'glitches'. Youj will also find that when you move the tripod head up and down, it will not stay in the place that you leave it, meaning that the camera shot will drop slightly.
Don't move the camera on its stand with the settings too tight. If you're using the camera's in-built mic, you'll pick up creaks from the stand moving (so loosen the camera stand or don't twist it).
It is wise to use a decent tripod and separate mic!!
2. Manual Focus
On most camcorders there is a basic automatic focus. This means that the camcorder decides on the focus to make sure images are sharp and 'in focus'. Something that is out of focus is commonly known as being 'soft'.
Remember too that black and white helps you focus in on a subject better than colour. To properly focus in manual mode, zoom the camera in on the furthest object away and bring that into focus. Once that is done, everything will be in focus. You may need to do this more than once during a shoot (as long as your camera isn't 'live' up on a screen!)
Use the manual focus to get different kinds of shots - to focus on the foreground object and then the background object. This is called 'Depth Of Focus'. You can also use the manual focus to cut between 'scenes' by blurring the focus at the start of a scene, then bringing the camera into focus for the next scene - or vice versa. You can only do this with manual focus. Some camcorders have a button to focus when using manual focus. Better cameras have a 'ring' around the lens of the camcorder.
Your touchscreen camcorder will have a setting whereby you can touch the screen and it will bring the 'subject' into focus. This can be very useful - use sparingly and carefully so as not to bash the camera when filming a delicate shot!
More professional cameras also have a back focus too. This needs to be brought into focus before the main focus is / can be. But this isn't an issue on domestic camcorders!
3. Cutaways
Make sure you film a number of what are called 'cutaways' which is like when a camera cuts to a close up on a person't face or an object. A cutaway can be a scene, a bunch of flowers, the sky, panning around the building etc. Basically anything that doesn't show that it was filmed at another time. One example may be that during a wedding video edit, you may have previously gilmed the roof of a beautiful church. A good cutaway shot when editing the video would be to intersect the 'roof' shot into the service.
These are useful for editing between shots and for covering gaps you may have left when filming or if there is a problem with filming or video capture. Always take lots of cutaways!
4. Take Varied Shots
Take a varied range of shots - long distance (to set a scene, for example a house filmed from distance), medium shots (for example the house in the frame of the shot) and close-ups (such as the door of the house).
If you have 2 cameras, have one camera taking a long or medium shot, and one taking a medium to close shot.
When setting the 'scene' of a shot, it's good to have a long-range camera shot as it gives the viewer a sense of location and scale. You can then go closer in to the subject. It can also function as a way of illustrating a topic - for example a person talking about mountain scenes, you then cut to a long-shot of mountains etc.
Careful When Zooming - have a reason
Try not to use zoomed shots too much (espeically in a live situation or edit). If you do so, make sure you do so in a controlled and very consistent way. On poor quality playback devices or from poor quality camcorders, the motion looks bad (unlike professional cameras) so try to avoid this. You will see some shoes that use step zooms to make the viewer feel part of a fast-moving action plot. But these are planned and carefully chosen. Zooming in and out rapidly / zooming randomly looks unprofessional and will result in dizzy viewers!
Consistency of the Shot
Think about the mood you want to create and then make sure you keep shots consistent, especially if you're filming at different times of the day or on different days. Some editing can be done in post-production but if you're shotting video in a room with windows and in one scene the shadows from the sun are one way and next minute the shadows are another way, it will look strange.
Or if you were doing quick edits from an 'interview' between interviewer and the person being interviewed, it would look strange if the sun is out for one shot and then it's out for the next and back for the next.
You will very likely need to do more than 1 take of each scene - be prepared. In fact it's a good idea especially if the script and action is the same. This way you get more 'takes' to decide which one is best. Or you can set up different camera angles for the same sequences.
Another trick is when you're filming different shots of the same scene with one camera, you will be doing some long shots and some close up shots etc. If for example you're filming an interview, make sure the people haven't changed their facial expressions before you zoom in to get a close-up shot etc. Otherwise you may have someone looking unhappy on one shot and then looking slightly happy on a close-up pretending to be of the same moment etc!
Steady Camera
Hold the camera steady. Don't go jerking it around. If you need to move the camera in shot, think of creative ways of doing this. You can hire steadicam shoulder straps to hold the camera in a kind of cradle if needed - or a dolley for 'tracking' shots (when the camera is moved along what looks like a tram rail).
Raw Footgae
Capture raw footage if you're going to edit later. What is 'raw footage'? Well, it's plain and simply the shots you get with your digital camera that without any special effects added from the camera while filming. Very important if you're editing later as it means you have complete control over the captured film and can then do what you want with it. If your film has all kinds of random fades and colour effects, strobe effects etc. it is very difficult to assemble a consistent video later. Best way is to film the raw (un-edited) footage and then add these effects later.
Make sure lighting is good. Camcorders - and indeed all cameras - suffer in low-light conditions. You can adjust the level of light going into a camcorder manually, but this will add unwanted 'noise' into the image quality, so don't do this. Best thing is to get the lighting right.
Commonly, a powerful light is shone onto the subject from the front. However, there are times where a bright light (such as the sun) from above, can obscure the subject's eyes and cast unwanted shadows. In these cases, people can introduce a light from underneath the front of the subject - or even use a white board to reflect light. On other occasions, a less powerful light nehind the subject (backlighting) is introduced. This must be a lower level otherwise you'll have the problem of backlighting.
If you have just one light, it will need to be fairly powerful and you may also need a 'diffuser' to stop the light all being concentrated in one spot.
Some people will also use deflector screens / white boards underneath a subject to make sure their whole face is lit and there aren't lots of shadows on the face.
When Shooting Video Live, the Mix
A good tip when shooing live (with say, 2 cameras), is to have one camera doing close-ups and another doing longer shots. When the subject is talking generally, use wider / longer camera shots. When the subject is more personal or speaking more quietly, get closer up shots as they are more powerful.
Sound And Audio Tips
Remember that good audio is what sets apart a professional looking movie from an amateur one. The tip here is to have varied recording devices according to what you are filming. This way you get the very best audio. The absolute best is where everyone has a wireless tie clip mic that records to a separate recording unit (not the camera). You then record the camera audio as well and assemble the best sounding audio when you edit.
One tipif using a cheap tripos.. grip the camera firmly if you need to but dont move your hand - it picks up the noise. Best thing is to leave the camera and keep away from it while running.
So, you need a decent mic for good sound. Alternatively, film in a quiet place when nothing else is around (not in busy town centres, near buses, classrooms etc.) The camera person and others nearby must not speak at all while filming is in progress.If someone is holding the camera make sure they do not move their hand on the camera. Best put the camera on a stand and leave it set.
Get the subject close to the camera if using the on-camera mic. This way the mic is nearer them and you pick up less background noise. If you are interviewing someone and need to share a mic, you can either set a mic up out of camera shot (attaching the other end to the camera or a portable digital recording unit) - or you can hold a mic..
If you do use a mic, make sure the sound does not clip. What is clipping? It's when digital sound gets louder than it should do and distorts (it can also make a 'clipping' sound). The way to resolve this if using a proper wireless tie clip mic is to set the audio level low on both receiver and transmitter (but not too low) and test the audio, using headphones attached to whatever is recording the sound. This way you hear if the sound is too loud or not. Before recording, ask the subjects to speak loudly(as loud as they would speak) and as long as the level doesn't clip, you know the sound will be fine when they are speaking normally.
Alternatively, you can use a compressor (digital effects unit to help get a professional sound)placed before th erecording input - if recording to a static recording device (e.g. a laptop. (So you would have mic - to compressor - to laptop). Or just be careful with mic placement - ie. not too close to the subject. Think about watching documentaries. There's a sound man holding a mic (often with a black muffler on it) and it's out of camera shot and not right in the presenter's face.
I ofetn use a separate portable digital recording device as well, to make sure I have as many audio sources as possible - you never know when one may fail !
Staring and Ending
Remember to start shooting video 5-10 seconds before and leave camera filimg for 5-10 seconds after you finish recording the key parts of what you need to film. This way you have a bit extra space when it comes to editing and voices, images don't get clipped / cut.
Mark Your Tapes
In a complex project, someone needs a 'take' board or to speak in front of the camera to tell you which scene you're filming and what take it is when you come to edit it later. Make a note of which 'take' you think is best or what bits of each take are best. If you don't, you may not remember which 'take' you want and will end up watching all the footage over to get the right bits. Make sure you label any recording media you use or store it safely.
Special Effects
One 'special effects' tip is to move backwards from a subject while zooming in, or move forwards toward a subject while zooming out. Try it and see how it works. You'll notice this kind of 'effect' from movies once you see what it does. Again, be careful in doing this so you keep the camera as steady as possible.
Another 'special effects' tip is to use movement on a camera in-between scenes. Then to fade the scenes in together. What do I mean? Well, say you're filming scenery clips. You may pan left across a river scene. Then separately you pan right across a forest scene. When you edit the 2 scenes together, fade between the 2 scenes. It creates a nice effect. You may decide to 'theme' your short movie with this kind of edit.
Using 2 Cameras
If you are using 2 cameras or indeed filming scenes more than once to get different camera angles, remember this:
a. Make sure your sujects do exactly the same thing and on the same day. Any differences in movement, clothing, weather will be obvious (this is why it's better to have 2 cameras running simultaneously)
b. If you use more than 2 cameras, make sure one camera doesn't pick up the other camera!
c. Remember that if you are filming close-ups on 2 people talking, keep the cameras on the same side of each subject throughout that scene. So, keep camera 2 and 3 where they are. Don't film part of a scene with the cameras where they are in the image below, then cut and swap cameras 2 and 3. It will look very strange to the viewer as they will lose a sense of where one person is in relation to another.
Remember also to have cameras that have the same quality and consistency - don't use one cheap camcorder, and one high-end camcorder. You, and everyone else, will notice the difference and it will be a real problem.
A Script Is Essential
Without a decent script sorted out before filming, your film will drift and not be effective. Get down a basic plot and outline before filming. Here is an example of the first 4 scenes of a drugs misuse video we made..
Lisa is on cathedral green doing a deal with Arron
Sharna is at home, wants some drugs so phones Lisa. Dialogue between Lisa and Sharna which ends with arranging to meet in the Guildhall
Lisa walks off to the Guildhall
Girls sitting in Guildhall on a wall drinking. Lisa arrives, bit of argument, then Sharna arrives and they do the deal. Lisa and Sharna walk off and start looking in different shop windows.
Plan Your Camera Shots
These need to be much more detailed. Think about transitions (changes) between scenes. How will they be smooth? Relate camera shots to the action. Fast action means fast, quick changing shots. Slow action means longer shots. Mix up close ups and long-shots. Use long shots to set the scene. Here is the first 4 scenes of our video broken down into camera shots to help..
- Long-shot of Cathedral Green - we can see Arron and Lisa in the background
- Close up to Arron and Lisa doing the deal
- Sharna at home, talks to herself - I need sorting Ill phone Lisa
- Phone rings go close up to Lisa and one cut back to show Arron looking around
- As the 2 talk we need to cut between the 2 locations which means doing dialogue twice
- Cut to see both Lisa and Arron as Lisa walks off to the Guildhall and Arron goes other way
- We see Lisa walk down street
- Then Lisa walking across High Street
- Shot of girls sitting in Guildhall on a wall drinking so we can also see people
- Lisa walking through Guildhall
- Shot just of the girls mucking around
- Then shot outside Sainsburys filming as Lisa walks down into where little church is
- Lisa arrives, few words with girls, Lisa pacing around - shot with all this in
- Shot as Sharna arrives with Lisa saying whereve you been?
- Cut to close shot of the deal.
- Long shot of the 2 looking around them. Dialogue.
- Lisa and Sharna walk off and start looking in different shop windows - see both shops
- Cut to girls talking - Sarah runs off to find security or someone
Remember that when cutting from one scene to another, it sometimes helps the viewer to watch the subject go out of shot of the camera, before re-appearing in the next scene (especially where they have changed location, say from the car to a house).

Frohe Weihnachten (German)! Maligayang Pasko (Tagalog)!! Merry Christmas (English)!! (lol). Wherever you are...whatever language you speak, hope you had a wonderful day celebrating Christ's birth with family or friends. We've had a party every night or at least some kind of gathering since last Thursday and we have thoroughly enjoyed being busy with friends we've known since our first year here and with some we've met this year alone. God has been so good!
Today was spent with just the 4 of us and we had a great day! Danny woke everyone up--I couldn't believe it! We still have another year or two before the kids wake us up and his comment was, " I was excited!". haha! Nathan was very happy and surprisingly wanted me & Danny to open our gifts before ripping his open. I was so proud of his selflessness. Micah woke up and as his normal routine walked straight to the cabinet that holds our cereal and again as routine picked the box of Fruit Hoops (as called here) and started munching. He proceeded to the living room where the rest of us were and began playing with the basket of old toys. Once he realized that Nathan was playing with some new stuff... he then wanted in on the action.
Our day was good and relaxing. As I sit here still in my jammies..... I'm thankful for all of you who make it possible for us to minister here. The last 5-6 days have been filled with visiting with friends... many of them unsaved. What a great time of getting to know them and showing Christ to them.
Next week we'll head to the visa office and hope to be told we have private visas. Keep praying and I'll keep you all posted.

Mexicos LGBT Market Grew Six Percent in 2013 - Worth More Than USD$70 Billion Annual Income
New Finding: Mexico LGBT Market Shines as Brightest Light in Latin America
"This makes Mexico the most interesting country in Latin America at this time for many organizations looking to increase their share of the lucrative LGBT consumer market. - Ian Johnson, CEO, Out Now
PUERTO VALLARTA - February 27, 2014 (OUTNOW) -- The latest findings from the worlds largest market research study into the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people show that the value of the Mexican LGBT market increased by 6% since 2012 - to now be worth USD$71 billion in annual income earned during 2013.
The LGBT2020 Study is a global research initiative by the worlds leading LGBT consulting company, Out Now -- http://www.outnowconsulting.com -- who today released the latest market research data from the Mexico sample in the study.
Out Now has worked with many of the worlds leading organizations during its 22 years of operations and their CEO, Ian Johnson, said that the latest research shows that Mexicos LGBT market is likely to increase in importance to a growing range of companies and other organizations.
The three key markets in Latin America to date were Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, Johnson says. 2014 has seen some dramatic shifts in the region with Brazil experiencing an economic slowdown and Argentina finding itself struggling due to unfortunate crony economics at government level. Mexico stands this year as the brightest light in LGBT marketing in the region. With Argentina experiencing poorer economic conditions, the new LGBT2020 research for Mexico shows that the LGBT market in the country has strengthened its position over the past year. This makes Mexico the most interesting country in Latin America at this time for many organizations looking to increase their share of the lucrative LGBT consumer market.
The LGBT market is to take center stage in June this year at the 4th International LGBT Business Expo being held in Puerto Vallarta - an event presented by LGBT Confex.
LGBT Confex CEO, Ruben Sandoval, says that his company is pleased to provide a unique and powerful forum for businesses that wish to learn more about how to tap into the valuable LGBT market in Mexico.
LGBT Confex has worked for four years now to help organizations make valuable business connections at our annual LGBT expo, Sandoval says. Each year we have seen the interest from business roughly double and that encourages us to keep innovating and providing education, exhibition space and networking to allow our delegates to do better business in LGBT markets in Mexico - and across the world.
The 4th International LGBT Business Expo is being held from June 12 - 14 in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit, Mexico. The Host Hotel is the Casamagna Marriott Hotel. Participants include American Airlines, Out & Equal, American Express, Bank of America, Human Rights Campaign, Familias Unidas, Las Vegas, Puerto Rico Tourism Office and Out Now Global.
