After the first part of Visual Literacy (learning), I found it really difficult to decide on a project to utilise the skills I'd learnt. I struggled to find something that was meaningful to me, but that was also a realistic project to undertake in three weeks.
I had the idea to structure the documentary in a way which recorded a main interview, illustrated it in filler shots and then I wanted to show an edit of this mini documentary to an audience to raise awareness about the issue. I thought it might be interesting to film them watching the mini edit, to capture their reaction and possibly collect voxpops of their response the the issue. This was inspired by the 4Thought series which showcases different ideas or opinions on the same issue through interviews with people, showcasing a different issue each week. The programme aims to inspire a discussion between viewers about the issues via social media particularly twitter. In a similar way, I wanted my documentary to focus on this dialogue between people, and their different opinions on an issue.
The problem I then faced, was that I was still no closer to pin pointing an idea that was personal to me, which was part of the brief. I searched the internet but couldn't really find anything that I wanted to focus on. Here are a few of my rejected ideas:
1. Crime in Hyde Park – I considered documenting different peoples experiences of crime in Hyde Park through a series of interviews, and combining these with visuals of the area and crime statistics. I had found an online resource which showed different crimes that had taken place during each month on a map, and though this could be interesting to include as visuals.
- I was unsure what the purpose of the documentary would be, not really raising awareness because everyone seems to know that Hyde Park has a high crime rate.
- It also wouldn't fit easily into the structure I was interested in.
- It sort of seemed like a cop out, because I had collected an interview in my learning stages about the issue of crime and knew it would be rather easy and slightly boring to do again, so I rejected the idea.
2. Misogyny in students – Recently the Leeds nightclub Mezz and its 'Tequila' Thursday night event has been accused of endorsing rape culture, and degrading women in a promotional video titled 'Freshers Violation'. I though the issues and opinions surrounding this could be interesting to explore as, although the majority seem to agree that 'Tequila' should be banned, I knew of several people who have been arguing that if people didn't like the evening, then they shouldn't go. These people seemed to think that the video was light hearted and would not actually influence people to commit sexual offences; I strongly disagree with that view, and so I felt personally involved with the issue. Rape culture seems to be a very relevant topic at the moment: Leeds University recently banned the Union from playing the song 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke because it objectifies women, additionally The Sun newspaper has been banned from the Union, due to its page 3 feature.
- I planned to contact the femenist society at Leeds University, to collect an interview showing their opinion, however I struggled to find a person with an opposing view who would be willing to share this in an interview. This would have resulted in a very one sided documentary, which would make the structure based around a discussion redundant.
- I felt that most people at Leeds College of Art would share the same view against misogynst themes in nightclubs and music, so filming their response to my interview with the femenism society would probably be like preaching to the converted. For this reason I rejected this idea for a documentary.
3. Homelessness – I considered exploring the story behind Leeds City Council's 'No second night out' scheme that they had recently become part of, in which they claim to offer every person sleeping on the streets access to a bed in a shelter. Part of this scheme includes a hotline for people to call if they know of anyone sleeping on the streets. I was drawn to this idea because of my own personal dilemma about what to do when you see someone who seems to be living on the street: do you give them money directly? I am often unsure of how to react, and this scheme seemed to be a beneficial way of responding without giving money to someone who may not put it to use actually finding shelter.
- This was unfortunately a bit too similar to the documentary I made last year for Visual Exploration. Although it was exploring the issue from a different angle, the people I would be contacting for interviews would be the same.
- This also didn't seem to fit my original idea of basing the documentary around a discussion.
- I decided that it might be too much of a challenge to create a good representation of the homeless situation given my limited time and resources. I would like to explore this topic more, but maybe for a project where I have more time to investigate it more thoroughly.
I decided to go back to the drawing board, and keep looking for an issue which was more personal to me, and was achievable to convey in the short space of time I had to make the documentary in.

The Navajo Nation is the largest group of indigenous Americans in the United States, but they haven't always been valued as political allies. The 2016 presidential election is changing that. As Secretary Hillary Clinton's campaign begins to focus on swing states once thought out of reach of the Democratic party, she and her staffers are looking to the Navajo for potential votes.
Hillary's staffers have worked with Russell Begaye, president of the Navajo Nation, and recently secured his personal endorsement. Begaye endorsed Bernie Sanders during the primary. Sanders reached out to several Native American leaders during his campaign trail, but has recently worked in Arizona to convert his supporters to Hillary's side. High-profile surrogate Michelle Obama has also been campaigning in the area. The campaign has organized town hall events and localized community gatherings in multiple sites across Arizona to discuss Hillary's ideas for improving the Indian Health Service (IHS), the federal agency that provides health care services to Native Americans.
Getting out the vote is traditionally seen as difficult in rural Native American territory. With roughly 25%of Arizona's land dedicated to reservations or controlled by Native American tribal groups, it can take hours to reach an official voting location. Clinton's campaign team has worked with Navajo Nation leaders to encourage Native Americans to make the journey on November 8. With recent polls showing Clinton and her competitor Donald Trump only a few percentage points away from each other, the 100,000 members of the Navajo Nation could make the difference in the election and establish themselves as an important political ally for future candidates.Categories: Indigenous Americans, Navajo Nation

In etymology, back-formation is the process of creating a new lexeme, usually by removing actual or supposed affixes. The resulting neologism is called a back-formation, a term coined by James Murray in 1889. Back-formation is different from clipping – back-formation may change the part of speech or the word's meaning, whereas clipping creates shortened words from longer words, but does not change the part of speech or the meaning of the word. For example, the noun resurrection was borrowed from Latin, and the verb resurrect was then backformed hundreds of years later from it by removing the ion suffix. This segmentation of resurrection into resurrect + ion was possible because English had examples of Latinate words in the form of verb and verb+-ion pairs, such as opine/opinion. These became the pattern for many more such pairs, where a verb derived from a Latin supine stem and a noun ending in ion entered the language together, such as insert/insertion, project/projection, etc.
B. Examples of Back-Formation Words

I've been having some pretty serious internal monologue lately regarding decorations for our reception. If you recall, the Venue is a converted warehouse, so it has the potential to be a little cold, or utilitarian. I feel like, especially in the winter, it's going to need some warming up, and I'm not entirely certain how that is going to happen.
This is the dance floor portion- the downstairs. If it's going to be filled with people, I don't know if it really needs a lot to happen. I mean, a few candles scattered on cocktail table, the guestbook will have flowers and candles, and it should be fine- right?
The upstairs, on the other hand, is a little sparse. Picture this, but it will most likely be dark, since it's a evening winter wedding. Our setup will likely involve black linens with grey napkins. We'll probably have table runners- maybe gray lace? There will be more glasses per setting, and there won't be flower centerpieces, just candles. I like how the bride here used paper lanterns, but they seem a little…sparse? Should there be more of them? Or concentrated somewhere? I'm also considering the use of tissue poms, mixed in- too much? If we did lanterns or poms or both, we would likely use a number of shades on the white-grey-black scale…but I don't really know what to commit to just yet.
There's also the option of using wintergreens, or white poinsettias, since it's in early January. I have a lot of options, but no idea at all what to choose- which is good, because now I can pare down. What would you go with? How much is too much? Any advice, hive?

Small Boats, Motors Allowed
Columbia National Wildlife Refuge Lakes, Sheep Lakes, Potholes Canal and Chain Lakes... In the heart of the Columbia Basin in Eastern Washington is a boating paradise of lakes and canals that few places in the world can rival. There are 3 specific Overlapping areas known as the Potholes Canal and associated Chain Lakes, the Sheep Lakes, and the well-known Columbia National Wildlife Refuge all of these are within the region known as the Drumheller Channeled Scablands. Up until 1951 the area was an arid waste land with very little ability to support life.
With creation of the Columbia Basin Hydroelectric Project (starting with the Grand Coulee Dam and associated canals) all that changed. Some lakes in this area were created as wider spots in the canals or via large and small dams, but many others were unplanned, created by the seepage of water through the basalt.
Specifically this area is a recreational paradise for kayakers, fishermen, sailors, water foul hunters, hikers, mountain bikers, etc. In this section of our Lakes & Rivers Guide we give you the most accurate and detailed information related to boat launches, access points, recreational info, etc.
Accessing the lakes and canal within the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge require one to call or visit their website to affirm what areas of the park are open to various activities such as fishing and hunting. We do not post that info here because the info is constantly changing .

This watch is certainly value for money and I have had several people ask me where I purchased it. It was exactly as the photograph shown on the website.
The Star Wars watch collection features a range of playful and serious styles for men, women and children from a galaxy far, far away, bringing iconic characters and technological designs to life. Whether you favour the light side or the dark side, colourful characters or subtle details, there is a Star Wars watch for you. Use the force and select your favourite, or choose as an original gift for a loved one. The Star Wars phenomenon began in 1977 with the release of, not the first, but the fourth film in what will eventually be a trilogy of trilogies. The franchise instantly became a global pop culture favourite and the fictional universe is beloved the world over. These Star Wars watches let you take a little bit of that Star Wars extended universe home with you.

Every so often, we have to remind ourselves that golf is not life. It is addictive, it is frustrating, it can be all-consuming. We never quite figure it out. But it is not life. Remind ourselves that there is more to life. And so today's post is dedicated to Miguel Ángel Jiménez. At 48 years 318 days, he became the oldest winner on the European PGA Tour today. Somehow he seems to keep plugging along, working on his automobiles in his spare time. This excerpt from his post-victory press conference really says it all. Enjoy the day, look around at the beauty, have fun with friends, and remember it is a game.
About this site: Golf As God Gave It To Us
"Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, we may die."
Miguel Ángel Jiménez is a 48-year-old, cigar-smoking, pot-bellied, pony-tail-wearing, red-Ferrari-driving Spaniard who still tees it up with the young guys on Tour.
Seldom has a more improbable sight been seen on a golf course. I daresay they wouldn't let a caddy dressed as he does on most courses on which he plays tournaments. Yet there he is, playing and enjoying himself as though the world is his. His record in the majors over his last ten years on tour is much better than his record over his first ten years on tour. Of his 19 European tour wins, 12 came in the last 9 years. He seems to get better with age.
This is something that has often struck me about golf.
Perhaps to win, it takes the mania only a young person can handle; but doing well consistently is something that strikes me as better suited to a person over 40 or 45. At one time, my next door neighbor, an amateur, was ranked ninth in the country in the 40-45 year old age bracket in tennis. He had played in college for the University of Wisconsin but was clearly better on a relative basis at 43.
I asked him how this was possible. He said simply that he had a much better sense of the shots to hit, when, and where; it was a lot less work to play well. Perspective.
Here is Jimenez' perspective, after today's win, which I think pretty much says it all:
"Winning now, and becoming the oldest winner on the tour at 48, my goodness. Twenty-four years I've been on the tour, I've been around a long time," Jimenez said. "But I still love it and that is fantastic, to love what you're doing, and enjoy yourself, keep fit, keep working myself a little bit and stretching a lot. And that's the main thing to do to keep the body to compete with the new guns."
Jimenez earned his 19th tour victory by making four straight birdies from the seventh hole in his third straight bogey-free round to finish with a 15-under total of 265 on the suburban Fanling course. He was one shot ahead of Fredrik Andersson Hed of Sweden, who closed with a bogey-free 64.
As always, the Malaga-based Jimenez celebrated his success with a glass of Rioja and a cigar — and credited those habits with helping his longevity.
"There is maybe olive oil in my joints, and drinking the nice Rioja wine and those things keeps me fit and flexible," he said. "Well, the most important thing (is), I do what I like to do in my life, and golf has given me all of this pleasure."
There is "maybe" olive oil in my joints, and drinking the nice Rioja wine and a cigar, oh, yes, and a little stretching to keep up with the young guns, this is what keeps me fit and flexible. Well, and if it doesn't, it "has given me a lot of pleasure."
A tip of our hats to Señor Jiménez, our friend and role model. [1]
M. Huckster
"I was sitting in a chair in the patent office at Bern when all of sudden a thought occurred to me: Drink more Rioja and smoke a cigar at least once a day. This propelled me to a theory of relativity." Albert Einstein (various sources).

I have this RC For Charlie bone books only please please please make sure they are 7.5 inches high and 5.25 inches wide. I also need them to be the ones from either Orchard Books or Scholastic. I hate to be picky but these are for my Grandson and I would like them all to be the same.
I have had the RC for over a year. I just recieved a book from the Charlie Bone Series that was on my wish list that is 8.5 X 6.5. I pm'd the member and told her about my rc and ask for my credit back. She said pm that No special request conditions came up when I sent you the book. I entered the ISBN as it was listed on the book. I would be happy to refund your credit if you send me back the book.
I said I would be happy to return the book if she would send the extra credit for the return postage she replied As I said earlier I did not get a restricted message telling me there were restrictions on the sale - you should take that up with paperbackswap.com. I am not giving you 2 credits for the book. I listed the book as described and you requested it. If you don't want to return the book then I am not giving you your 1 credit back.
Do RC come up when wish list books are posted??? If so I have never seen one.
I will of course chalk this one up to OH WELL
If I am understanding your question, when I have posted books that are WL & someone has an RC, their RC DOES come up. I had a book that I wanted to post to someone's WL & I spent a few days to hurry & finish it since only one person was wishing for it. Unfortunately when their RC came up, it said they wanted the dust jacket to be in good condition & the dust jacket I had was bent up so I couldn't send the book to them anyway.
So yes, RCs show up when people post WL books.

Julie, yes you are correct. If you click "Details" in the Transaction Archive, the first thing that is listed are any requestor conditions that were in place.
Bertie, what does your transaction archive show for the book?
OK I checked when we lost power I guess things got turned off and I didn't check. I have turned everything back on. I guess I lost this credit. I will just add this one to the donate pile that is going to the book place. Live and learn LOL
thanks for all the help
Bertie, if it was a WL book is anyone else wishing for it? You could repost it and get your credit back.
I see Linda had exactly the same thought I did! :O)
Probably obvious - but, I think an apology of sorts to the sender is warranted.
I did send an apology
To avoid scary thoughts by other members, you losing power would not turn your RC's on or off. They are stored on the PBS server. We all make mistakes, and I may make more than most........

pg. 31 (FEB 8)
Golding put this moment in the book to make sure the reader knows that, even though Jack is a big, mean guy, he himself is also scared of their situation. The other boys on the island would most likely do the same thing if they were put in the pig situation.. This part in the book also shows how innocent all of the boys were in the beginning, compared to the end. In the beginning, Jack couldn't even kill a little piglet when it was caught in a curtain of creepers. In the end, however, it got so bad that two boys on the island were killed. All of Jacks followers became saveges towards the end of the book. On page 31, it said that Jack slammed his knife into a tree trunk after the pig got away and Golding mentioned that there would be no mercy next time, and there wasnt.
1 comment:
Good analysis of the passage. Next time, remember to tell me what elements/techniques you're looking at. I like that you distinguish between how Jack appears and how he feels; this is an important use of the author's narrative voice. What do you think is the effect of knowing that such a duality exists?ReplyDelete

This publication brings together a range of different points of view which together paint a comprehensive - albeit not exhaustive - picture of the performing arts in Romania in recent years. Using both words and images, we cover the most important trends in terms of cultural policy and artistic themes, while also providing an account of the ideas that have circulated and continue to circulate in the field, of landmark performances and the venues where they were staged, as well as of the Romanian actors, directors and writers who enjoyed most success among the public and critics.
We hope this publication will be useful to our readers and our international partners - theatre producers, selectors and curators of performing arts festivals, theatre critics and cultural journalists.
In it we have sought to present a balanced view, one not weighed down by an excess of historical data or academic analysis, and with an emphasis placed on information and critical reviews drawn up in line with good journalistic practice. Our intention was therefore to create a tool for the sharing of cultural information and lay the foundations for future debate and individual research projects - all with the ultimate aim of forging a better link between the Romanian performing arts and international cultural markets. The selection of the content in these pages highlights a diversity of subject matter and organisational structure, as well as of the types of public at which the productions in question were aimed. It features repertory theatre, independent projects and artists, artistic experiments and commercial theatre.
As a national cultural institute, our aim is to promote the Romanian performing arts beyond the country's borders, thereby enhancing the presence of Romania's leading productions and artists on foreign cultural markets (dedicated programmes, festivals, international theatre fairs, etc.) as well as on the international institutional scene, while at the same time maintaining existing relations with foreign cultural partners and identifying new such partners.
We would like to thank all of our contributors for providing us with new material and allowing us to republish existing articles, as well as all of the theatres, artists, artistic consultants, literary secretaries and PR specialists for their generosity in providing us with access to images of the performances described in these pages - which we hope will act as an agreeable interface between the world of the Romanian performing arts and the international cultural scene.

I stumbled upon a new mobile app this week. "Happier" is a social media network that allows you to share moments that bring little bits of happiness. It's a simple platform, kind of a crossbreed between Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. You post text and photographs of otherwise mundane things that bring you joy, which others can add comments and smiles (the app's equivalent of "likes") to. The result is a collection of sweet little memories to look back on when you need a pick-me-up.
Undoubtedly, the best part is browsing through other users' posts. Seeing pictures and reading about the things that give people pleasure is surprisingly satisfying. Buttery home baked pastries, impromptu beach strolls, sloppy puppy kisses – turns out these are universally beloved things. Who knew, huh?
One last thing: "Happier" is only available for download on the iPhone and iPod Touch. Sorry to disappoint anyone after all this cheerful talk, but you'll have to take it up with the developers! 🙂

Nothing makes one feel older than watching TV Land, the cable equivalent of the oldies station, and seeing shows that you watched in their first run. So it was for me, recently, with the episode of 'Friends' featuring Ross and Rachel discovering which celebrities are on their "No Strings Attached" list. Though I have never seen the appeal in Isabella Rosellini (she looks eerily like Dave Foley, for one thing) I can get behind the theoretical idea/game at the heart of the episode. But, since we are a pop culture website, if the Faithful Spoilerites were to play, we'd probably have to alter the rules a bit. James T. Kirk was always a hit with the ladies in-universe, but would he appeal to today's audiences? Thus, I came up with three
rules guidelines for harmonious living regarding today's query:
- Rule 1: The person must be come from another universe (read "must be imaginary.") You may choose Tony Stark, but NOT Robert Downey Junior, unless you're in the DC Universe. (Which you are not.)
- Rule 2: You may choose a certain timeframe of their life (i.e. "Han in 'A New Hope'") but they must remain true to their character. No upgrades or personality swaps, unless you can make a canonical argument (i.e. "Mirror Universe Spock.")
- Rule 3: There is ABSOLUTELY NO… Rule 3.
- Rule 4: One imaginary paramour per customer, no choosing R2-D2 AND C-3PO, unless there is no way to separate (i.e. Chang & Eng Bunker, who are not imaginary, and thus make a terrible example.)
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, "misquoted") won't use Ross' 5 celebrities idea, because that's another show entirely, asking: What one "alternate universe" person would you choose for a no-strings-attached (unless you're into that sort of thing) romantic fling?

I'm thinking Wonder Woman all the way.
Diana would break you in half…. still worth it.
Karen Starr aka Power Girl circa her ongoing series pre-DCnU. Strong, independent woman, all pluses. Superhero too, intriguing.
If I answer this, does that make me an "Unfaithful Spoilerite"?
Or at least a "Willing to be Unfaithful Spoilerite"?
Codex from The Guild… Of course I'm assuming here for the sake of the question that the relationship would actually work. Most of my fantasy musings run into the problem that said fantasy woman would probably not be willing to put up with me. :D
Kayle Frye of Firefly. The character is very girl-next-door to me. She's got a rugged side to her though she wants to be thought of as feminine. She's honest but not so honest that she won't help rob a train. Not to mention that for some bizarre reason coveralls are remarkably sexy.
Nai and Mea from Magiranger, which doesn't break the one-per-customer rule because they are the same being, a split form of Phantom Spy Vancuria.
As for where in the timeline, I'd have to choose just around the end of Magiranger when she/they have turned sort of good.
Tigra. rawr.
<3 Hawkeye <3
Black Cat
Amy Pond from Doctor Who.
I almost picked her, but I couldn't stand to break up her and Rory. They make the best couple in the entire history of television, in my humble opinion.
Still, an excellent choice. She's definitely going in as my second choice.
1985 She-Hulk
Geez, so hard — and with questions like "would I have to worry about being crushed" to contend with.
Since I haven't seen it here, just for the sake of variety I'm going to say Jana from Frank Cho's Jungle Girl comic.
Buffy! Gorgeous, competent, and athletic! (Towards the middle of the series, when she was not yet scary and dead inside… but she was legal!)
Lara Croft. Adventurous and kick-ass with the bonus of being absolutely beautiful in any situation. We could take frequent trips to hidden temples in the wild, kicking in bad guy faces the whole way.
Triplicate Girl. I suppose I would even settle for Duo-Damsel. But this is my fantasy dammit. So…
Triplicate Girl.
Inara Serra. Might as well choose a professional.
Lela. even if she used a fork to stab out one of my eyes, it would be worth it!
