MANAGER Ken McKenna's work starts today as Total Network Solutions prepare for the mouth-watering prospect of taking on City in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Cup.
The mid-Wales minnows, based in the tiny Powys village of Llansantffraid, had good reason to celebrate after being paired against Kevin Keegan's star-studded side.
And McKenna, the former Tranmere, Runcorn and Altrincham striker, knows his charges face a race against time as they prepare for the biggest game of their lives in August.
"We're back in training today with just over 50 days until we play a Premiership club and there is not a minute to waste," he said. "We have drawn up our pre-season plans but that will all change now.
"We'll be giving the tie every bit of energy and thought. It's vital we get ourselves as fit as possible as this is a massive, massive challenge for a club like ours."
The plum tie promises a big pay-day and marks a stark contrast from previous seasons in which the Welsh side have made unenviable treks to Estonia and Poland.
"Hopefully we shouldn't have any problems with the travelling arrangements this time," joked McKenna. "I really thought we would end up going somewhere like Denmark or Norway. Manchester City was not on our agenda. It's unbelievable."
TNS, who are currently involved in a proposed merger with neighbours Oswestry Town, will be the first club from the Welsh Premier League to tackle a Premiership side in European action.
And it couldn't be more daunting than facing a 40,000-plus crowd for the first leg at Eastlands on Thursday, August 14 as City mark their return to Europe after a 24-year absence.
The second leg, two weeks later, looks likely to be staged at Wrexham's Racecourse Ground and though City fans may be disappointed that their first Euro adventure will take them barely 40 miles up to road, for TNS the tie is manna from heaven in terms of publicity and cash.
Until now they were a little known, though very successful, side in their own surroundings in the League of Wales (now Welsh Premier).
Amateur and semi-pro football flourishes in the Welsh/Shropshire borders, but it is a surprise to find a full-time professional club playing in the peaceful village of Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain, in the heart of beautiful Mid-Wales.
With a population of a little more than 1,000, Llansantffraid can boast a tidy football ground right in the middle of the village and a football team that has won the renamed Welsh Premier title.
Although records of a village football team stretch back a century, it was not until 1959 that the club was formed as it is today.
The `Saints' enjoyed considerable success in the Montgomeryshire Amateur League, winning many honours, but by 1989/90 was on the brink of closure.
The major change came in 1997, with a ground-breaking sponsorship deal with an Oswestry-based communications company, that involved the club changing its name to Total Network Solutions.
The club was the first in the UK to change its name to that of a company sponsor. TNS invested £250,000 over a five-year period, although managing director, Mike Harris, has since bought the club outright.
In 1998, the arrival of Dr Andy Cale, who was also assistant coach to the Under-16 England team, sparked a revival in the fortunes of the club on the pitch and took the club from near-relegation to the position of League of Wales Champions in 2000.
The benchmark for TNS to aim at in the Welsh Premier is Barry Town, a full-time outfit who have dominated the League with nine championships in its brief history.
TNS are now the second full-time side in the competition and have shown in the past three seasons that the Welsh Premier is no longer a one horse race.
Finishing in the top two positions for the last three seasons has brought European football, although home legs have to be played at Newtown or Wrexham, because the Recreation Ground, Treflan, does not meet strict UEFA standards.
Indeed TNS, who are in the throws of a proposed merger with Oswestry, really ought to have been in the Champions League this time around. By early January last year, bookmakers quoted TNS a 1/20 chance to lift the Welsh Premier League title.
Barry Town tracked them for much of the race, drew level at the furlong marker and quickened impressively to the winning line.
Cracks began to show and when the Saints surrendered a two-goal half-time lead at Aberystwyth the game was up and it was the UEFA Cup rather than the Champions League.
They are probably happy about that now!

Dr Kumar and family already had a very pleasant house but required more room. It was essential that the new lounge area connected with the large rear garden and that it gave the feeling of spaciousness. An earlier extension was demolished to make way for the new extension.
Connecting the loft spaces over the new extension formed a great play room/study area.

iPhone Photo Editing – The Future Looks Bright
I was working on an sunset image I took and wanted to try to improve a blown out area in the clouds. I remembered seeing a clone option in the Filterstorm app, so I tried it. I was impressed at how well it worked. Here's the before and after of the shot in question.
I find it amazing at what can be done with these apps, and there are new apps coming out all the time. I used Filterstorm to clone the clouds in this image but after doing some research I see that there are others like Photoforge & Touchretouch. I did not find the cloning option in Photoforge2!!!! I went and bought the TouchRetouch app and processed the same image with the cloning tool. Here it is…
TouchRetouch was easy to use and they even have embedded video tutorials. It has a simple UI and does a great job. Kinda like the Photoshop content aware tool that came out with CS5. Not sure which app I prefer for this situation but TouchRetouch is easier to work with. It was easier to reposition the source point compared to Filterstorm. I do like that you can change the opacity of the brush in Filterstorm when cloning. As you can see I need to play some more… cool. I know I'll be using these apps a lot.
The future looks fun :-)
Thanks for reading, Patrick
p.s.: Any feedback you have on this blog would be appreciated. It's a new thing for me and I'm hoping to keep it going.
Apps, apps and more apps!
Apps, apps and more apps! Ok, I think I've gone overboard. My photography apps have been accumulating up to the point where I need to STOP downloading any more and just learn the ones I have. I use Camera+ for the camera, Instagram (@patgervais) for sharing and then a mix of everything else. I just gotPhotoForge2 that looks amazing and will spend a lot of time learning it. I need to get used to these apps and create a workflow.
Do you have any suggestions?
Yeah! My Highly Processed Silhouette
So I was bored today, waiting for a customer that was almost 30 minutes late. So after sitting and walking around in circles I saw my shadow on the cement floor. Ok now I go from bored to excited as soon as I "saw" the image I wanted to make. Pull out the iPhone, open Camera+ and start framing and trying different poses. I got this shot almost right away and then started processing. I mostly used PhotoForge2 but also used Filterstorm and Iris. YEAH!
Thanks for reading, Patrick

A small medical clinic in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, was recently evacuated after an employee found a threatening note warning that the clinic had been contaminated by anthrax.
The clinic's door handle was covered by white powder, which was later determined to be harmless in preliminary tests. Further tests are expected to come back negative for harmful pathogens, according to WWLTV.
The first employee to arrive at the West Jefferson Industrial Medical Clinic that morning at approximately 7:40 a.m. notified the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office after finding the note and accompanying powder. The authorities responded immediately by dispatching a hazmat unit and notifying the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
"The agencies involved in this matter at this time are JPSO, FBI, Jefferson Parish Hazmat, LSP Hazmat," JPSO spokesman Col. John Fortunato said, WWLTV reports. "Also present on-scene are representatives from the FBI-Joint Terrorism Task."
None of the substance was found inside the clinic and the facility reopened and resumed normal business hours.
"They did some preliminary testing. It certainly, at this point, according to the experts, doesn't appear that this is, in fact, anthrax. It is a powdery substance, and they'll do some chemical analysis on it to try to identify what it is," Fortunato said, WWLTV reports.

Speeches during the week referred to it in terms of aspiration breeding success, opportunity for those who seek it, personal responsibility, helping those who can't help themselves, that sort of thing. Core conservative (small and big c!) values.
I'd hate to make the "There's none so blind..." argument here.
For IndoMike, one example: The number of registered disabled people in the UK in employment has risen to 3.5 million from 2.9 million in 2013, a sign that helping create conditions where it's possible for disabled people to have a steady job and income has worked.
The New Statesman ran an excellent summary in 2015 of the Coalition (note - not just Tory) policies which affected disabled people - their headline summary branded it to be "pointlessly cruel"
I find it hard to spin that in any way to describe is as "helping those who can't help themselves".

My Fiber Equipment
People always ask me what wheels and equipment I have. Here is my current list:
Spinning Wheels:
I primarily spin on a Majacraft Aura wheel with an Overdrive head. I also have a rather new Electric Eel Wheel. This is a great little e-spinner that I backed on Kickstarter. It's great for spinning thinner traditional yars and is really cost effective, lightweight, and portable. It's about as loud as a sewing machine so I can use it while watching tv without too much trouble in the volume department. Overall I am very pleased with this little wheel.
I still have my old Majacraft Pioneer wheel too but it doesn't get as much love these days since my Aura pretty much does everything I want.

Drum Carders:
I have two. A Strauch Mad Batt'r Double Wide and my new Majacraft Fusion Engine. I love them both for different reasons.

Majacraft Fusion Engine Drum Carder
Other equipment and products I use:
Fiber Prep:
I have a blending board that I made. I haven't used that in a while but it's pretty good. I'm having too much fun with my new drum carder right now. I also have a box picker which I hardly use anymore and hand carders and a really nice set of combs from Three Ravens.
Wool Wash:
I use Unicorn Power Scour and Namaste Farms Dirty Rotten Bastard for scouring raw fleece. I also love the Namaste Wash 'n Dye for longwool locks and low grease fleece.
For washing finished yarn I use SOAK. I find that I like the scents and they do a good job without leaving much residue.

Harrison Ford is apparently a real-life-action-hero when he's not filming– because he came to a woman's rescue after she crashed off the highway in California on Sunday.
Here's what happened, according to officials: A 63-year-old woman was driving eastbound in the fast lane of Highway 126 at about 11 am when her car lost control and drifted down the central reservation.
Officer Tom Kirkland, a spokesman for the CHP, said that when the woman put on the brakes, she lost control of the car and it swerved right across all the eastbound lanes and down an embankment.
Harrison Ford was on the same road with a friend when he saw the woman's car in the embankment. He wasted no time pulling over so he could help her.
Local police officer Matt Alonzo said: "He acted as a good Samaritan, just like everybody else, and tried to help before emergency services arrived."
Ford, along with a few other drivers on California State Route 126, helped the woman out of her vehicle before the police and paramedics arrived on the scene. The woman had sustained only minor injuries in the accident.
Ford was also recently recorded on camera directing traffic after a large car accident occurred in New York's Midtown Tunnel.
Although he is a man of many talents, Ford is trained as a pilot, and has had several close calls and a few crashes under his belt. Maybe dealing with ground traffic is more his calling?

EC MNBS Aug'13, Ireland
October 2, 2013 in d-LIVER Events, Event Reports and Presentations, Past Events
MicroNanoBioSystems European Commission Concertation and EPoSS event in Cork/Ireland 24th-27th September 2013
The objective of this workshop, the 7th in a series of conferences on the development of Micro-Nano-Bio Systems, MNBS, is to share the progress in the field, as well as the opportunities and challenges ahead. Over the years the focus of workshop has shifted from a technology development orientation to a business development one. This year the focus was on the distance to market, the how of translating technology success into business success, and the changes that the Horizon 2020 program will bring in the EU's framework program. To stress the importance of the potential synergies with other smart systems the 2-day workshop was organized in collaboration with EPoSS annual general assembly. The involvement of representatives of key disciplines on the market side such as purchasing and venture capital was sought to give new inputs to the MNBS community. As usual, this workshop offers a podium to enable community building and networking, the sharing of progress in both technology and application development, and the identification of common issues.
All in all, the workshop attracted over 184 participants from across Europe, who represented many running FP7 projects a few finished FP6 projects, EPoSS workgroup members and other stakeholders from industry and the public sector. The workshop was organized around oral and poster sessions, an open demonstrators' facility and plenary/thematic discussions. Oral sessions included keynote presentations, MNBS projects' innovation & technology aspects, industrial issues and issues of joint interest with relevant EPoSS working groups. During the presentations a variety of topics was presented. The keynote part featured the host of the meeting, the Tyndall Institute, as well as the Horizon 2020 program and a successful medical device SME. Two series of presentations mapped th
e progress in 20 projects with the emphasis on innovation process including prototype validation and distance to market. In the follow-up panel discussion the learning points from the presentations were brought up and plenary discussed.
The official report from this workshop is available here.
A presentation, specifically adapted to the innovation & exploitation requests from the European Commission, was given by d-LIVER partner enablingMNT. Also a another, more generic, d-LIVER technical presentation was given at this event and the newly produced d-LIVER poster was displayed.
Programme information: Programme MNBS 2013 and EPoSS General Assembly & Annual Forum

Kelly Michelle Stables is an American actress known for both stage and film acting. She is known for her roles as Melissa on Two and a Half Men, and as Eden on The Exes. Enjoy Kelly Stables's best quotes below.
"Like many actors, I started off as a monkey. My first job ever was as an extra in Tim Burton's 'Planet of the Apes.' I'm the tiny little monkey in the background. I met Rick Baker doing that – then, because of my size and the fact I was older than 18, he figured I could double Daveigh Chase in 'The Ring.'"
"When I was a little girl, the only real form of entertainment I was exposed to was theater, being raised in St. Louis, and I still love theater, and I think sitcoms are similar to that, in there's a live audience, and you know, I definitely like the comedy of it, too. I like to make people laugh, and I definitely think laughter is healing."
"Wearing a monkey suit really lets you know where you stand as an actor."
"I was fortunate enough to book a pilot, and we just got picked up for a midseason replacement for ABC. It's called 'Romantically Challenged,' and I'm going to be playing Alyssa Milano's little sister. The other actor in it is Kyle Bornheimer from 'Worst Week' – he's hilarious."
"I'm at the stage in my pregnancy where I don't feel pregnant. You feel very, 'Oh yeah, I'm pregnant,' because you're over the morning sickness and it's not too uncomfortable. It's fun."
"I love saying dialogue and creating a full character more than just being physical. But I always end up doing physical stuff in my roles."
"I love the show tunes; I love all of them."

Interested in solar? And Nanotechnology?Alternative Energy, Nanotechnology, Webinars May 24th, 2010
I am, of course, very interested in solar. My last two months of electric bills have been zero dollars. Actually, I had a $24 credit from two months ago – so my April bill would have just been $12, and May was $8 but with the credit – ZERO! Last May I paid.. well, actually, this is a blog for another time about how my lease with Solar City is going. But, this post is about nanotechnology and solar. How is nanotechnology affecting the solar industry? Some big changes coming about and nano is playing a role. Nanotechnology and Energy is the FREE webinar (MATEC NetWorks is hosting) that NACK is giving this Thursday, May 27, 1 PM ET.
Nanotechnology was first used to describe the techniques that are associated with semiconductor processing. These techniques are still heavily used to make computer chips and other solid-state devices, but many other industries are now being impacted. The same tools and processes are finding applications in areas such as energy production and may improve our ability to find alternative energy sources. Increased efficiency, alternative materials and means of storage are all being impacted by nanotechnology.
NACK Center staff will share a summary of advancements in this area and explain how some common devices function. The main topic will focus on solar cell devices and how nanotechnology is impacting this field. The advantages and disadvantages of different materials will also be discussed.
Interested? You can register here or at Nano4me. Click on the Attend Webinar tab in the educator's section. I hope to see you this Thursday.

China is punishing its ally North Korea for its missile and nuclear tests by increasing its inspections of North Korean-bound cargo, causing businesses to suffer under the rigorous checks.
Freight handlers and trading companies near the North Korean border are complaining of surprise inspections that are increasing the costs of doing business. Targeted products include luxury goods, daily necessities and machinery, Associated Press reports.
"Some business orders we don't dare take," an executive with Dalian Fast International Logistics Co., said, according to Associated Press. "We don't dare do that business because we fear that after the orders are taken, we will end up unable to ship them."
The attempts to reduce but not cut off trade with North Korea follow increased pressure on Beijing to enforce new U.N. sanctions passed after February's nuclear test. The sanctions targeted the bank financing and smuggling of cash that could assist North Korea's missile and nuclear programs.
U.S. officials visiting Beijing on Friday said they were encouraged by Chinese resolve related to the sanctions.
"There's reason to believe the Chinese are looking at the threat in a real way," U.S. Treasury Undersecretary David Cohen, said, according to Associated Press.
Analysts said Beijing is taking real action to try to rein in the nuclear ambitions of Pyongyang.
According to the International Trade Center, China is one of North Korea's top trade partners, providing almost all of North Korea's fuel and more than 83 percent of its imports in 2011, Associated Press reports.

August 5, 2009 (CHICAGO) --There's another major shake up "At the Movies."Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz are out after less than a year at the helm of the show that Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel created. They became hosts after Richard Roeper quit. He had taken over alongside Ebert after Gene Siskel's death in 1999.
Roger had remained on as a consultant after health issues forced him off the air three years ago.
The new team will revive the tradition of newspaper critics -- with Michael Phillips of the Chicago Tribune and A.O. Scott of the New York Times. Phillips had been a regular host with Roeper, and Scott with Ebert. Roger has long admired both of them -- and it's always been his hope that the legacy of the show would return to its roots.
The new show rolls out September 5th.

EU sources say Ireland's repayment terms may be extended
There is speculation that the length of the repayment term on Ireland's 85bn euros bailout loan could be extended.
It was set by the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as part of the country's bailout conditions.
It could mean the existing 15-year figure set to pay back loans could be doubled to 30 years.
The move is part of an effort to secure Ireland's return to world markets.
Sources told RTE News the move was being considered because the EU, IMF and European Central Bank (ECB) believe the country has been sticking to its targets.
They also think Ireland's cost of borrowing would be lower if the eurozone crisis had not worsened.
It is understood the issue has not yet been raised with the government or with EU leaders.
Sources said the step is being considered in an effort to convince the markets that private sector bondholders would not be burned in future by Ireland.
Last month voters in the Republic of Ireland approved the EU fiscal pact.
Just over 60% of voters taking part in the referendum backed the controversial pact, which is aimed at enforcing budget rules in the eurozone.
Prime Minister Enda Kenny said Ireland had sent a "powerful signal" that it was committed to overcoming its economic challenges.
The treaty must be approved by 12 of 17 eurozone countries, but Ireland was the only one putting the issue to a public vote.
The pact, signed by all EU members except the Czech Republic and the UK, allows EU member states to co-ordinate their budget policies and impose penalties on rule-breakers.
It is an inter-governmental agreement, legally binding on all those who ratify it. It is called a "treaty", but is separate from EU-wide treaties which have to be signed by all 27 member states.
It commits all ratifying members to achieve budget deficits of less than 0.5% of economic output.
Last year, Ireland's deficit reached 13.1%.
The country's voters have twice rejected EU treaties - in referendums in 2001 and 2008 - though both votes were overturned in subsequent polls.
Those against the treaty argue that austerity is not working and suggest that the country should instead default on debts at five nationalised banks.

Personal Change
Although eating disorders are often triggered by environmental queues, many of the most important steps to preventing them in yourself and the people you love have to do with personal change. There are certain ways of thinking that may contribute to the development of disordered eating.
Ask yourself a few questions – and be honest in how you answer.
- To what extent does my attitude towards myself hinge on my current weight? Is my positive self-concept dependent on a certain number on the scale?
- Do I have "skinny" and "fat" days, and if so, do I think more highly of myself, and am I kinder to myself, when I feel skinny?
- How does my attitude towards others change when they are overweight? Do I assess other peoples' worth or importance on whether or not they have a desirable body? (Remember, the attitudes that you have towards others determine how you relate to yourself!)
- In terms of priorities, where does achieving or maintaining a certain body fit in for you? Realistically, where should this rank in relation to other priorities – job, family, personal growth, etc.?
Create Awareness
– As Parents
Parents play a huge role in creating the environment in which adolescents mature and form opinions. As parents, you have the opportunity to help create a body-positive attitude in your children; however, if you are not careful, you also might accidentally affirm the body-negative attitude that pervades Western culture. Try to cultivate a household in which body size and shape are approachable topics, without allowing your own personal insecurities or the cultural prejudice against fat enter the picture. While it's true that many of the most negative messages are received through mediums outside the home, never underestimate your impact in shaping your children's attitudes and beliefs.
If you are a parent, ask yourself a few questions:
- What is your attitude towards your own weight? Do you express dissatisfaction about your appearance in front of your children?
- What is the familial attitude towards the overweight or obese? Does family conversation affirm negative stereotypes?
- Does your attitude towards your children change based on whether they are fat or thin? Might your children perceive a change in attitude, even if it is not truly the case?
- Do you consistently affirm your children for qualities that are not related to their appearance? This is important because the other environments in which your children receive affirmation may place disproportionate significance on appearance, weight, and fitness.
- Do you act as a mediator between your children and the media? While you cannot prevent your children from all media exposure, you can shape their attitude towards it. A child that can distinguish a body-positive from a body-negative message will be much better equipped than one who has been shielded from those messages entirely.

On Tuesday, November 28, 2017, the Seguin Police Department presented a seminar on "House of Worship Security Planning" at the Seguin High School. There was also an opportunity for questions and answers at the end of the comprehensive seminar. The course was provided at no cost and was open to any interested house of worship staff in or around the area. This seminar was designed to help church leaders assess threats, their vulnerabilities, threat prevention, protection and mitigation, attack indicators, emergency action plans, roles and responsibilities, lockdown procedures, shelter-in-place procedures, and active shooters situations. This seminar was presented by Deputy Chief B. Ure, Officer Carlos Contreras, and Detective C. Crow.
There were over 400 in attendance and was well received. The seminar was specifically designed for church members, staff directly involved with security responsibilities, or simply church members considering developing a security team or just improving their house of worship security practices. Many of the attendees requested a copy of the PowerPoint presentation which the Seguin Police Department was very open to providing in an effort of helping not only those in our community but also anyone with an interest in this topic. Please understand that this training course was developed in-house with our specific needs in mind. We welcome anyone to download our presentation and revise it as you need.

Developing Digital Photos
April 09, 2014 • 2 Comments
Can we see your photos?
One of the "tough" questions I get whenever I come back from a location is, "Can we see your photos?" The quick (and unsatisfying answer) is typically, "No, I haven't developed them yet."
The long answer, and one I hope you'll take the time to read, follows below. I've included a few photos to help you see what I mean.
(Before I go any further, I don't want to turn this into a discussion about "getting it right in-camera." Countless bytes of internet space and hot air are already devoted to that. This discussion starts assuming that I took the photo/subject/composition/etc. I wanted to take with the camera, and looks at why that isn't necessarily the end of the process.)
Do you trust your camera?
Do I trust my camera? Yes.
Does my camera see the scene with a creative eye and always make the right decisions? No.
Bear with me for a moment while I get into some of the non-specific details. (...and try not to think too much about that last descriptor, or the fact that I started and ended this sentence with "...and.")
Like it or not, every digital camera will make certain "development" decisions for you, such as color adjustments, saturation, contrast, and sharpness. Through the camera's settings, you can tell the camera what to do with these, but when you press the shutter it bakes those decisions into your photo. The camera applies these to the .jpg (jpeg) file and then compresses it (reduces the file size without generally affecting the quality), and any extra information is lost to the digital ether. This would be the equivalent of a Polaroid - instant gratification, but almost NOTHING you can do to affect how it develops.
Don't get me wrong- you can make good photographs this way and save a lot of time. The tradeoff comes in how much control you're willing to give up, and how much time you have/want to spend after-the-fact.
Instead of .jpg, I usually shoot in "RAW" or the camera's proprietary "digital negative" format. (Depending on your camera, this may not even be an option.) Simply put, this format retains EVERY bit of information that the camera captures when I press the shutter, but it doesn't let the camera make any of the other development decisions. When it comes to my professional work, I want make most of the those decisions myself using computer software such as Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. Rather than a Polaroid, this is more analogous to shooting on film and then developing at home in a darkroom, giving individual attention to each photo. In fact, one of the reasons Adobe named it "Lightroom" is that it is the software equivalent of a traditional darkroom. Rather than working on film negatives in the dark, I'm working with digital positives on my computer screen.
Although this takes more time, it offers me much better control over the final image.
Compare the results below. (Click for larger view.)
Sunrise at Thor's Hammer in Bryce Canyon National Park
So why does it take so long for me to show you my photos? Because it takes time to bring out the best in each one.
As I begin to bring these photos online, I sincerely hope that you enjoy them as much as I do. If you see something you'd like as a print, please contact me and we'll make that happen.
Thanks for looking,

It features a large maximum aperture of f/2.8 that remains constant throughout the zoom range, making it incredibly valuable when shooting in low light situations such as wedding or other events. It is also great when shooting fast-moving subjects such as sports, when fast shutter speeds are needed to capture fleeting moments. The 70-200mm f/2.8 is fast and versatile and at a length of 7.8 (19.8cm) will be a tool that seldom sees the inside of your camera bag. The lens comes with a petal-type lens hood plus an adapter to extend its length for users with APS-c cameras.
Note: This lens is optimized for full-frame Canon DSLRs and may also be used with smaller APS-c size sensors but it will increase focal length to about 100-300mm with most cameras.
Note: When using the OS function of the lens with a camera which incorporates a stabilizer unit, please turn the camera's stabilizer unit off.
Note! Optical Stabilizer (OS) function will not work with film SLR cameras except Canon EOS-1V

Luna Sarti
Luna Sarti is a 3 rd -year graduate student in the Italian Studies program of the Department of Romance Languages at the University of Pennsylvania. Her current research addresses the post- human attempts to rewrite animal subjectivity and vegetable living, with a special focus on literature and cinema. She is also interested in issues related to the representation of the Italian landscape, particularly regarding the complex relationships between the aesthetics of tourism and the exploitation of material sites. In preparation for her dissertation, she is working on a project of waterly reading that addresses the nature and depiction of water in the arts and in the sciences, focusing on three important sites in Italy: the Tiber river, the Arno river, and the Venice lagoon. Her focus is on the differences associated with the aesthetic reproduction of the water flows and the biology of the actual water, its contents, its mistreatment, its course of movement and other elements that remain on the margins of representation and that are 'hidden' in both visual and literary representations but reemerge in the sciences.
Alexis Rider
Alexis is a doctoral candidate in the History and Sociology of Science. Her work focuses on the materiality of deep time in the Arctic, asking how scientific and artistic understandings come together when ice is used to peer far into the past, or to guard things long into the future. To do this, she examines the changing 'optics of the Arctic' in Western art and science from the nineteenth century to today: What was once conceived of a flat, one-dimensional space of distant exploration has transformed into a deep, temporally and physically dynamic region, essential to the geophysics of the globe. Originally from New Zealand, Alexis arrived in the US on a Fulbright Scholarship in 2011. After completing an MA at The New School for Social Research Alexis came to Penn, where her interest in environmental history, science and technology studies, and recent debates about our new epoch—the Anthropocene—led her to the frozen north. In October 2017, she is taking part expeditionary residency program, The Arctic Circle, where she will spend two weeks sailing the high north with artists and scientists on a 100-year-old barquentine tall ship.

Her dissertation will trace these intricacies found in American food systems, and how these systems rely on and transform non-human bodies and landscapes. You can connect with Nicole's work via Twitter @welkjoerger and through her website: welkjoerger.wordpress.com.

Seung-Hyun Chung
Seung-Hyun Chung (C'18) is an English major researching the entanglement of environmental and climate justice with discourses on racism, colonialism, and capitalism. Particularly, he is interested in the thought-process toward the "other" — identities, bodies, and natural resources historically and presently appropriated — that has shaped the ecological unconscious and the contested advent of the Anthropocene. As a film and theatre-maker, he wishes to explore this topic through creative methods in which praxis and performance are critical elements of research and public engagement. He hopes to create a theatrical-filmic performance in which the environment itself becomes a presence instead of a mere background.

Carlos Price-Sanchez
Carlos Price-Sanchez is a Philadelphia poet majoring and submatriculating in English and Creative Writing, as well as minoring in Environmental Science. His work deals with the ecology of aesthetics, focusing on the ways in which felicitous poetic-space interacts with built environments (waste lines, landfills, filled in streams), organic bodies (both human and nonhuman), and global identity politics. He is currently working on a collaborative poetic mapping of the buried stream beds surrounding Philadelphia. He hopes to examine how our interactions with suppressed ancient landscape disseminate into problems of socioeconomic segregation, as well as explore the utility of the poetic as a prosthesis for contending with the ramifications of living within "risk space
Sam Sanders
