Putty In Their Hands: Ten Old Movie Makeup Jobs That Hold Up, Part I
Posted by Matt Singer on
We're getting into the Halloween spirit at IFC.com this week by taking a look back at some famous movie makeup jobs (that are, at minimum, 25 years old) that have maintained their power to scare the bejeezus out of viewers. These kids today with their computer generated imagery and their Blu-rays and their "Saw V"s! Back in our day, we didn't have computers to do our imagination's dirty work for us. Visionary artists had only prosthetics, wire, plaster, rubber and a whole lot of Karo syrup to bring their creations to life! Back in our day, these were the movies you rented on Halloween! At the video store! As far as we're concerned, they still should be. And don't you dare teepee our Web site or we're calling the cops. [Part two of our list can be found here.]
Directed by Paul Leni
Makeup by Jack Pierce
To get a sense of what it must be like to be Gwynplaine, the tortured protagonist of Paul Leni's "The Man Who Laughs," smile as wide as you possibly can. Then hold it for 10 seconds. Even that much forced merriment is exhausting; Gwynplaine, butchered as a child by gypsy surgeons who curled his lips into an unchanging smile, has endured a lifetime of it. And actor Conrad Veidt suffered too; enduring bruising appliqué designed by Jack Pierce, the Universal Studios makeup man who would go on to design the iconic makeup for Boris Karloff's Frankenstein monster. Pierce's device was painful, but it had its benefits — its hold on Veidt's lips was so secure that we can watch the actor physically struggle against his own smile. A dozen years later, Veidt's appearance served as visual inspiration for Batman's arch-nemesis The Joker. And while the Clown Prince of Crime remains the Dark Knight's greatest opponent, he'll never be as scary as Gwynplaine. The Joker embraced his deformity; Gwynplaine doesn't find anything funny about his. Even when women desire him, his self-loathing is so deep he can't bring himself to accept their love. We fear meeting The Joker, but we fear becoming Gwynplaine.
SIGNATURE MOMENT: Gwynplaine makes his living as a vaudeville performer, where his smile has made him a much beloved star. After another well-received performance, Gywnplaine and the rest of his troop head backstage, where a clown approaches him and starts to wipe his grease paint off his face. "What a lucky clown!" he tells Gwynplaine. "You don't have to rub off your laugh" Gwynplaine smiles in response.

Make Up by Bud Westmore
If you don't think a G-rated movie can give you bad dreams, you've never seen 1954's "Creature From the Black Lagoon." A convincing missing link between man and fish (an aquatic Bigfoot, or "Bigfin," if you will), ol' "Gill-Man" is minding his P's and Q's in the unspoiled beauty of the Amazon rainforest until a bunch of American scientists show up to un-unspoil things. The movie stands firmly in line with most cautionary sci-fi of the 1950s, with the Creature as the misunderstood innocent and man as the interloper and villain, but the makeup by Bud Westmore (with vital but completely uncredited help from designer Milicent Patrick and makeup artist Chris Mueller) is convincingly gruesome enough to muddy the moral waters for the audience. The Creature has physical attributes from a ton of different underwater animals — the craggy feet of a lizard, the finned spine of an eel, the bulbous neck of a bullfrog — and a palpable primordial quality. Actor Ben Chapman gave the Creature a great walk on land (Riccou Browning played the Creature while in the Black Lagoon): slow but determined, arms outstretched, mouth agape, the gills at the neck slowly fluttering. G-rated, my ass.
SIGNATURE MOMENT: Foxy scientist Kay Lawrence (Julia Adams) goes for an idyllic swim in the waters of the Black Lagoon, not realizing the Creature, lurking below, has taken an interest. As she obliviously glides along the surface, the Creature paddles along just a few feet below, watching and waiting. Their synchronized swim through serene Florida waters is beautiful but charged with menace — in this movie, nature is a remarkable thing to behold, but behold it too long and it will kick the shit out of you.
Directed by Ted Post
Creative Makeup Design by John Chambers
John Chambers' groundbreaking makeup for the many denizens of "Planet of the Apes" is amongst the most celebrated of all time, but Zaius, Cornelius, Zira and the rest don't belong on this list anyway; after all, they aren't really meant to scare us. No, for a glimpse of the more twisted corners of Mr. Chambers' mind, you need to go to "Beneath the Planet of the Apes," the batshit crazy follow-up to the first film that begins with Charlton Heston disappearing into a magical rock and ends with him destroying the Earth by activating a doomsday bomb. Along the way, another astronaut named Brent (James Franciscus) wanders the planet in search of Heston's Taylor (Hint: He's inside the magic rock). Before he finds Taylor, Brent stumbles on a heretofore unknown race of humans who live beneath the Planet of the Apes called the mutants, who've been given the gift of telepathic communication and mind control, thanks to prolonged exposure to nuclear fallout. Despite a fashion sense bad enough to give Tim Gunn the dry heaves, the mutants appear ordinary enough at first. Only later, as the mutants prepare for the apes' assault on their citadel, do they reveal their "inmost selves." At a religious ceremony to their God (a.k.a. the bomb), they peel off their faces to reveal their true visages, which look like a cross between Darth Vader's face without his mask and a scrotum. After a few minutes staring into the radioactive hideousness, you'll be begging for the mutants to use their mind control powers on you and make you forget you ever saw it.
SIGNATURE MOMENT: The mutants don't get nearly enough screen time in "Beneath the Planet of the Apes," but they make the most of it. Their "critical mass" is one of the most unsettling scenes in any of the apocalyptic sci-fi movies of the 1970s. The mutants' leaders stand before their congregation, leading them in songs celebrating nuclear annihilation and sermonizing them with lines like "May the blessing of the Bomb Almighty, and the fellowship of the Holy Fallout descend on us all. This day and forever more." Then, as the whole room chants "Unto my GOOOOOOOOOOOD!" in unison, they reveal themselves in all their scrotal glory. Just try and keep your eyes on the screen as the service continues, sans faces, for another minute and a half. John Chambers, you maniac! Damn you! Damn you all to hell!
Directed by David Cronenberg
Special Makeup Effects by Dick Smith
Makeup artists are essentially problem solvers. The director wants to see something impossible on screen; the makeup artist makes it possible. Since restrictive laws prevent filmmakers from freely exploding their actors' heads, they turn to men like Dick Smith to do it for them. David Cronenberg's "Scanners" is a wicked little science fiction picture about a race of telepaths hiding in regular society. We're introduced to the full scope of their power during a press conference where Darryl Revok (Michael Ironside) blows up a man's cranium by squinting at him. The effect, which looks sickeningly good onscreen, even in slow motion (there are several YouTube videos devoted to playing the shot back and forth at a variety of speeds) was accomplished with surprisingly simplicity: the effects team made a dummy head of the actor, stuck a "blood-filled pig's bladder" inside, propped it up on a fake body, aimed a shotgun at it, and pulled the trigger. The final result is gruesome, sloppy and no doubt far more realistic than anything else done in movies to that time. And that's just one; the whole movie is filled with these nutsos brain-zapping each other. On a related topic, where do you even get a pig bladder?
SIGNATURE MOMENT: In the finale, Revok faces off against his arch-nemesis Cameron Vale (Stephen Lack). The two actors basically look at each other really hard in extended slo-mo and let Dick Smith and his effects team do the grunt work. We see veins on forearms protrude and leak, skin boil and drip off a torso, and faces bubble and pop. In other words, pass on the microwave popcorn when you rent the DVD. In the big finale, Vale's eyes actually explode out of their sockets. I assume this was done with some kind of dummy, though come to think of it, when was the last time you saw Stephen Lack in anything?
Directed by William Friedkin
Makeup by Dick Smith
True story — when I worked at my college's movies-on-campus program, we once showed "The Exorcist." One patron began to feel ill during the movie, got up to use the restroom and promptly fainted. Paramedics had to come, an ambulance wound up involved. The student would ultimately blame a bit of food poisoning, probably being too embarrassed to admit the truth: this movie messed you up. Dick Smith, a legendary makeup artist who also designed the memorable effects used in films like "Altered States," "Little Big Man," and the aforementioned "Scanners," transformed an innocent looking 14-year-old Linda Blair into an obscenity-and-pea-soup spewing demon. Smith initially attempted a more traditional witch makeup with an outsized nose and chin before he, along with director Friedkin, developed the idea of having Blair's Regan cut her face during the scene while she's stabbing herself in the crotch with a crucifix, and having the lesions slowly fester and turn gangrenous throughout the movie, creating a gradual physical disintegration that matches the girl's mental one. Ghoulish as Blair looks, it wasn't one of those scenes that made our customer faint; it was an earlier sequence where the troubled Regan is taken to a doctor for medical testing. They insert a needle and tube into her neck and pressure causes blood to spurt out as if from a Super Soaker. Forget Satan… deep down, we're all really afraid of going to the doctor.
SIGNATURE MOMENT: When Father Karras (Jason Miller) confronts the possessed Regan for the first time, she mocks his recently deceased mother. Unfazed by the girl's taunts, he defiantly asks the demon for his mother's name. Instead, she spews a great geyser of green vomit all over his face. To create the effect, Smith developed a harness that Blair's stunt double wore over her face but under her makeup that had a spout set well back in the mouth. The vomit, of course, was just hot pea soup. The man in charge of aiming the spray was only supposed to hit Miller in the chest, so his reaction when it hits him square in the face is altogether genuine.

The New Yorker ¦ This Week in Fiction: Danielle McLaughlin
Irish Times ¦ Dissecting Danielle McLaughlin: the inside story of her writers' group
Marie Gethins has been in a writers' group with Danielle McLaughlin for four years. She reveals its methods and secrets: 'a stellar combination of brutal honesty and kindness'
It began with worms.
In the spring of 2011 I joined Lory Manrique-Hyland's writing workshop held at the Munster Literature Centre. Over the following weeks I was impressed by the standard and diversity of pieces we workshopped, but one stood out. It featured worms. Yes, dead ones, but live ones as well. Their lifecycle skilfully underscored the dynamics between human characters, made a betrayal story fresh. The author was Danielle McLaughlin.

Ah the teaming of director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio (where's his Oscar by the way?!!!) has brought some classic films: The Wolf of Wall Street, Gangs of New York, Shutter Island, The Departed and The Aviator. Now another film is about to be added to the list, which will see Scorsese directing his new Robert DeNiro as a serial killer, and boy am I excited about this!
The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic And Madness At The Fair That Changed America, is a tale of the US equivalent to Jack the Ripper, and is about a serial killer who is thought to have killed between 27 and 200 people in Chicago. Even more interesting is that this serial killer, called Dr. HH Holmes (DiCaprio), built a hotel where he would murder his victims.
The book, written by Erik Larson and published in 2003, has been ready for a film for a number of years. Warner Brothers owned the rights up until a month ago, and once the rights were freed up, and aggressive bidding war took place. Fox and Universal particularly wanted this, but Paramount seized the rights in a seven figure deal, which would see Scorsese directing and DiCaprio starring.
Billy Ray will write the script. Appian Way's DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson are producing with Stacey Sher, Scorsese and Emma Tillinger Koskoff.
Per Deadline:
DiCaprio will play one of the most prolific serial killers in Chicago history, the 19th century equivalent of Hannibal Lecter. He has wanted this for a long time, but the project's second wind occurred after Warner Bros let the rights lapse a month ago on the 2003 nonfiction book (Graham Moore was among the writers who did drafts) and came out of conversations with Par's Brad Grey and Scorsese and Yorn about the studio being at the center of the next DiCaprio-Scorsese teaming; the studio released 2013's The Wolf Of Wall Street, which got five Oscar nominations. Yorn, DiCaprio and Scorsese went out with a new take on the material from Ray that got everybody excited all over again. The trick with this property has been interlacing the two main characters, the producer/architect of the World's Fair and the man who works for him and turns out to be a mass murderer. Ray cracked that, and the town flipped for it.
DiCaprio will play Dr. HH Holmes, a cunning serial killer believed to have murdered anywhere from 27 to 200 people at a time when the city of Chicago was enthralled with hosting the World's Fair of 1893. Holmes constructed The World's Fair Hotel, an inn more lethal than the Bates Motel, especially for young single women. The sociopath used charm and guile to lure guests into what became known as a "murder castle," a haunt that had a gas chamber, crematorium and a dissecting table where Holmes would murder his victims and strip their skeletons to sell for medical and scientific study.
Here is Amazon's description, from the back cover of the book:
One man built a heaven on earth. Another built hell beside it.
The Chicago World's Fair of 1893 was one of the great wonders of the world. This is the extraordinary story of its realization, and of two men whose fates it linked: one was an architect, the other a serial killer…
The architect was Daniel H. Burnham. He created the 'White City', a massive, visionary landscape of white buildings set in an incandescent wonderland of canals and gardens. The killer was H. H. Holmes, a handsome doctor with intense blue eyes, who used the attraction of the great fair and his own devilish charms to lure scores, perhaps hundreds, of young women to their deaths. And while Burnham overcame politics, infighting, personality clashes and Chicago's infamous weather to transform the swamps of Jackson Park into the greatest show on Earth, Holmes built his own edifice. He called it the World's Fair Hotel. In reality it was a torture palace, a gas chamber, a crematorium.
These two disparate yet driven men together with a remarkable supporting cast, including Buffalo Bill, George Ferris and Thomas Edison, are brought to life in this mesmerizing, murderous tale of the spectacle that transformed America and set it on course for the 20th century.

Medical Professionals
How can I be sure that I want to be a doctor?
A doctor's life belongs to his/her patients. It is important to realize the commitment that is expected of you in this profession. You can get a feel for the profession by shadowing a doctor for a period of time. Try to do this the summer before your sophomore or junior year.
What are the most important criteria for admission to medical school?
You must have an excellent GPA and a competitive score on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) in order to be considered. Your outside activities, volunteer work, research, and leadership activities are also very important, but they will not take the place of a high GPA and a competitive MCAT.
What is the best undergraduate major to prepare me for medical school?
It's true that you can choose any major that you like. Most medical schools require that you take many specific science courses, including Biology/Zoology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, General and Organic Chemistry, and Physics. All of these sciences are tested on the MCAT, and all of them are required for a Biology degree. For this reason, the majority of pre-med students choose a Biology degree. The second most common major is a Chemistry degree. Other students select a degree in Clinical Laboratory Sciences or another health degree, work in the field for a year or two, and then apply to medical school.
What is the MCAT, PCAT, and the GRE?
The Medical College Admissions Test is a required achievement test that measures your ability to read scientific and nonscientific articles, and then answer questions about the topic. The three categories of the MCAT are physical sciences (chemistry and physics), biological sciences (cell biology, genetics, microbiology, physiology, anatomy), and verbal reasoning. There is a writing component as well. The PCAT is an achievement test similar to the MCAT, but specific for pharmacy school. The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is very different from the MCAT, and tests on Verbal Reasoning, Math, and Analytic Skills. Some schools require a Biology GRE as well as the general GRE. There are practice books available at bookstores, libraries, and in the AED student organization library to show you what the tests are like, and how to prepare for them.
How important is the MCAT score?
Very important. Do not underestimate the importance of this test. Without the minimum score for consideration, your application will not even be looked at. Work with your health advisor to determine when you will be ready to take the exam, and for strategies to prepare.
When should I take the MCAT?
You should take the exam the summer before you apply to medical school. For example, if you plan to start medical school in the Fall of 2011, take the exam in Summer of 2010, and apply in the Fall of 2010. It is important to plan the date of this well in advance. The test is not offered in Pensacola; the nearest test centers are Mobile, Tallahassee and Dothan. Do NOT take the exam until you have finished Organic Chemistry II, Physics II, Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Genetics. Give yourself a considerable amount of time to study as well.
Should I do undergraduate research?
If possible, yes. The majority of medical school matriculants (the students who get accepted) have done some undergraduate research. The Biology and Chemistry faculty are great mentors for UWF student research during the summer, spring and fall semesters. Summer research grants are frequently available, and competitive. You can also apply to do summer research at other universities.
What type of volunteer work should I do?
Medical schools expect that prospective doctors want to help the community. Volunteering at a local hospital, hospice, food bank, mission, or homeless shelter are all good activities. Make a long term commitment to wherever you choose.
What is a "bridge program"?
Several medical schools offer a one year post-baccalaureate program for students who were not successful in getting into their schools. These programs allow students to take medical courses, and reapply the next year. FSU has a program like this.
What if I don't get in?
Keep your Pre-Health advisor informed of your situation. He or she can suggest some alternate careers that suit you, or give you advice on how to improve your chances for the next year's application.

Treatment of Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the outer layers of your skin. Your skin protects your body against heat, light, infection, and injury. It also stores water, fat, and vitamin D.
The skin has two main layers and several kinds of cells. The top layer of skin is called the epidermis. It contains three kinds of cells: flat, scaly cells on the surface called squamous cells; round cells called basal cells; and cells called melanocytes, which give your skin its color.
There are several types of cancer that start in the skin. The most common are basal cell cancer and squamous cell cancer, which are covered in this PDQ patient information statement. Skin cancer is more common in people with light colored skin who have spent a lot of time in the sunlight. Skin cancer can occur anywhere on your body, but it is most common in places that have been exposed to more sunlight, such as your face, neck, hands, and arms.
Skin cancer can look many different ways. The most common sign of skin cancer is a change on the skin, such as a growth or a sore that won't heal. Sometime there may be a small lump. This lump can be smooth, shiny and waxy looking, or it can be red or reddish brown. Skin cancer may also appear as a flat red spot that is rough or scaly. Not ail changes in your skin are cancer, but you should see your doctor if you notice changes in your skin.
In melanoma, pigment-forming cells (called melanocytes) undergo cancerous changes and reproduce uncontrollably to form a life-threatening tumor. Melanoma is the seventh most common cancer in the United States, the deadliest form of skin cancer and...

Tested: Clickit Car Dog Harness
Restraining your dog while driving is an important part of any trip, whether it's to the vet in town or tackling a cross-country summer road trip. In a crash, unsecured pets can become a serious hazard to human occupants, but they also can become a serious distraction before any accident occurs.
Tips for Traveling Safely With Pets
The issue of pet distraction is exacerbated by the fact that no federal safety standards exist for pet travel products — and there are many of them. Not many have been crash-tested, and consumers should be diligent about verifying crash-testing claims, according to the Center for Pet Safety.
The nonprofit CPS aims to create testing standards for pet harnesses, carriers, booster seats and crates while also educating pet owners about pet travel safety and encouraging manufacturers to design crash-tested, certifiable products, said Lindsey Wolko, founder and CEO of CPS.
With sponsorship from Subaru in 2013, CPS tested seven harnesses that secure dogs to the backseats of vehicles. Those harnesses were subjected to the type of crash-testing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration uses for child-safety seats. Only one harness performed in a safe manner across the board: Clickit by Sleepypod (which also makes crash-tested carriers for cats and small dogs).
"The one that came the closest to what they should do was the Sleepypod Clickit," Wolko said. "It kept the dog from launching [off the backseat]; it kept the dog from coming into potential contact with a human occupant. It offered the dog the best possible chance of survival."
We decided to test Clickit in the real world for ease of use, comfort and practicality.
The Test
The Clickit system consists of a harness for the dog and two adjustable straps that attach to vehicle Latch anchors, which are generally used for securing child-safety seats. Those straps also attach to the harness, and a seat belt is passed behind the harness straps on the dog's back. Materials and hardware are sturdy and seem durable.
Following Sleepypod's online videos, I adjusted the harness ($96.99 for a medium) to fit my 4-year-old, 65-pound golden retriever Tyler and strapped him into our 2004 GMC Safari van for a ride.
Initial setup took about 30 minutes.
During the trip Tyler was able to easily switch from sitting and lying down positions. When I hit the brakes hard deliberately, the harness held him in place. We then moved to our 2006 Nissan Sentra. Since the Latch anchors in the Sentra sit a little farther back than in the van, I needed to lengthen the straps a bit. It took about 5 minutes to readjust the harness for the Sentra.
Would I use this harness on a regular basis? Yes. Once it's adjusted for your dog and your vehicle, using it is easy. As a multiple dog owner (I have three), my biggest issue is whether two dogs could comfortably lie down on the seat together. And if I took all three dogs at once, neither of my vehicles have enough Latch anchors (a problem with many vehicles) to accommodate three Clickits.
Other Options
Accommodating multiple dogs is even more of a predicament when you have children in child-safety seats sharing the vehicle with a pet. For those situations, Wolko said the RC Pet Canine Friendly safety harness ($100, all sizes) is a decent alternative to the Clickit. It uses only a seat belt for attachment, and in the CPS test small- and medium-size dogs did not launch off the seat. Additionally, when the Klein Metal Allsafe harness ($107.96, medium) was used with a seat belt passed underneath the harness straps rather than through its tether, it kept the test dog from launching; see the videos here.
What about crates or barriers that keep a pet in the cargo area? CPS has done some preliminary crate testing, and the results aren't encouraging. Because metal and plastic crates break or crack, rather than crumple, they pose a serious threat to pets and people. And if they aren't secured in the vehicle's cabin, crates can become projectiles. Barriers, too, can move and break upon impact. CPS hopes to do a full crate study in the future.
Besides carriers and crates performing well during a crash, the equipment used to tie them down also must be able to withstand impact, Wolko said. Many of those products (ratchet/cargo straps; bungee or elastic cords are not good choices), she said, haven't been crash-tested, and pet owners also must know whether the tie-downs in their vehicles will be able to handle the force exerted by the crate/pet combo during a crash. So check manufacturer websites for crash-test videos and for specifications about the stress the product can endure; ditto with vehicles — find out what load the tie-downs are rated for.
Finally, Wolko cautions consumers to investigate claims that a pet travel product has been crash-tested. Is there a video you can watch? If so, does the video show the entire crash sequence: acceleration, impact and the impact's aftermath? If you can't find that information, don't believe the claims. Sleepypod carriers and Variocage crates are two examples of products whose crash-test videos demonstrate what consumers should look for when a product claims to be crash-tested.
As you head out on the road this summer with your canine or feline companions, consider how best to restrain them in your vehicle.

Alexandre Dumas: Twenty Years After
86. Conferences.
Mazarin turned the lock of a double door, on the threshold of which they found Athos ready to receive his illustrious guests according to the notice Comminges had given him.
On perceiving Mazarin he bowed.
"Your eminence," he said, "might have dispensed with your attendants; the honor bestowed on me is too great for me to be unmindful of it."
"And so, my dear count," said D'Artagnan, "his eminence didn't actually insist on our attending him; it is Du Vallon and I who have insisted, and even in a manner somewhat impolite, perhaps, so great was our longing to see you."
At that voice, that mocking tone, and that familiar gesture, accenting voice and tone, Athos made a bound of surprise.
"D'Artagnan! Porthos!" he exclaimed.
"My very self, dear friend."
"Me, also!" repeated Porthos.
"What means this?" asked the count.
"It means," replied Mazarin, trying to smile and biting his lips in the attempt, "that our parts are changed, and that instead of these gentlemen being my prisoners I am theirs; but, gentlemen, I warn you, unless you kill me, your victory will be of very short duration; people will come to the rescue."
"Ah! my lord!" cried the Gascon, "don't threaten! 'tis a bad example. We are so good and gentle to your eminence. Come, let us put aside all rancor and talk pleasantly."
"There's nothing I wish more," replied Mazarin. "But don't think yourselves in a better position than you are. In ensnaring me you have fallen into the trap yourselves. How are you to get away from here? remember the soldiers and sentinels who guard these doors. Now, I am going to show you how sincere I am."
"Good," thought D'Artagnan; "we must look about us; he's going to play us a trick."

On Flicking at the Window-Screen and Watching the Stink-Bugs Catapult Halfway Across the Backyard - Something to do.
1 hour ago
A moratorium on housing foreclosures and evictions is a good idea. So is making the tax code more progressive. . . . .the rapidly metastasizing disease that threatens to kill the U.S. economy [is] income inequality.That means the other 30% goes unreported.
. . . . . Tax returns give only a partial picture of a nation whose riches have been aggregated in the hands of a tiny elite. The Internal Revenue Service captures only about 70 percent of business and investment income....
So actual income inequality is bigger than IRS data indicates . . . .The wealthiest one percent of Americans earned 21.2 percent of all income in 2005.The under examined myth in this country of ours is that salary is the biggest motivation for creative people. It's especially unexamined by the Reich wing because for the richest of the rich, satisfaction of greed is purpose for life.
. . . . . What if we played Karl Marx and left that one percent of the population (people who earn over $350,000 a year) with their fair share--one percent of national income? If we divided the rest of the loot equally, everyone else--99 percent--would get a 20.2 percent pay raise . . . .
Due to wage inequality, the average worker earns 40 percent more than the median. Close the gap, and two-thirds of Americans get a raise. One-third gets a cut. But only a small group, the top five or ten percent, would feel significantly pinched. Most of the third wouldn't lose much. And everyone would benefit from the increased economic activity that would result from equal income distribution . . . . . Call it trickle-up economics.
After-tax 2007 profits for U.S. corporations totaled $1.8 trillion, up 10 percent since 2001. (Bear in mind: this figure doesn't include CEO salaries, capital reinvestments, and the acquisition price of other corporations.) The effective average corporate tax rate in the U.S. is about 13 percent--one of the lowest in the industrialized world. If we were to double the effective tax rate to 26 percent, the U.S. would remain a tax haven compared to Germany and other major European countries.Ted's right.
Let's say the IRS took that extra 13 percent corporate profits tax and cut a check to the American people. Why not? Without us, the U.S. consumer, these companies wouldn't be in business. In 2007, every worker in the U.S. would have gotten a check for $12,000. That's a lot of xBoxes, not to mention mortgage payments.

East African leaders at a summit meeting held in Addis Ababa on Monday called for the revitalization of the 2015 South Sudan peace accord, saying the peace agreement is the only political solution for the country.
The extraordinary IGAD summit was chaired by Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Dessalegn and attended by the heads of state of Sudan and Uganda, first vice president of South Sudan and prime minister of Somalia, besides the foreign ministers of Kenya and Djibouti.
"The IGAD Summit calls upon all the parties to take urgent steps to draw concrete plan and timeline to compensate the delay and to revitalise the full implementation of the ARCSS," said the final communiqué released after the meeting yesterday.
The leaders of East Africa's security and trading bloc decided to urgently convene a High-level Revitalization Forum of the parties to the peace agreement including estranged groups to discuss concrete measures.
According to the communiqué, the forum will work to restore permanent ceasefire, to implement the peace agreement fully and to develop a revised and realistic timeline and implementation schedule towards a democratic election at the end of the transition period.
The IGAD leaders welcomed the recent declaration by Kiir of a unilateral ceasefire in South Sudan and called upon him to follow up the strict implementation of the ceasefire.
The summit urged Kiir to ensure that his field commanders respect the ceasefire, and that he takes swift measure against those who violate his decision.
The summit also urged the armed opposition groups to reciprocate the call for a ceasefire as well as to renounce violence.
The leaders also welcomed the launching of the national dialogue by President Salva Kiir Mayardit on 22nd May and urged the unity government to make the process all inclusive, genuine and transparent as well as complement the peace agreement.
Inter-Government Authority on Development (IGAD), is an 8-member economic bloc that brings together Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, South Sudan, Kenya and Uganda.

Subhub tidal energy platform was moved from Titanic Properties, Kingsworks car park on the Queen Island to Belfast Harbour's D1 Area in readiness for deployment to Strangford Lough early in the New Year. The D1 Area is part of Belfast Harbour's estate and was formally leased by Orsted to deploy the wind turbines to West of Duddon Sands project a joint venture project between Orsted (formally Dong) and ScottishPower Renewables costing £1.6 billion.
QED Naval' s team have worked professionally and tirelessly to complete this logistical process working with many commercial partners to achieve this major milestone. Significant technical and commercial issues have been overcome to achieve this milestone which has caused significant delays in the project but good things come to those who wait or persist.
That being said we need to thank the key players who helped us achieve the move to D1 milestone, namely:
- Belfast Harbour Commission – Provided access to D1 Area authorising the route to quayside along with bridge assessments and civil engineering works.
- Belfast Harbour Police – Have been long term supporters of the Subhub project completing patrols on a daily basis of the Kingsworks site. They also provide a police escort ahead and behind the route on the day of the move ensuring traffic safety.
- Mar Train Heavy Haulage – who completed the move of the Subhub to the D1 Area. Their professionalism and performance on the night of the move amazed onlookers including ourselves.
- HBS – Completed the plans (RAMS) for all the civil engineering works to be carried out along the route. They quickly and efficiently cleared the route prior to
- AECOM – Completed survey, assessment and report of the bridge on Airport Road West which was on the route to the D1 Area.
- Doyle Shipping Group – Supported the transfer of Subhub to the D1 Area in terms of weighing the Subhub, lifting plans and stevedoring, essential for the set down position on the quayside.
- Titanic Properties – who have support QED Naval of the past 12 months providing a suitable lay down area on the Queens Island for them to complete the commissioning and testing of all the main systems.
The tidal energy sector is showing signs of growth within the UK for the industrial and tech sectors, led by Simec Atlantis, Orbital and Andritz Hydro Hammerfest, who are leading developments on the back of good ROC support. However, since this support mechanism was dropped in April 2017, we find the development of the tidal sector is being lost to other countries including France, Canada and inevitably Asia.
We find that persistence is a key word in our business plan to get the message across to industrialists and corporates who have shown interest in the blue or sustainable economy recognising the longer term benefits of these high growth, ethical investments for everyone's future.
QED Naval developed the Subhub tidal platform to address the issue of high energy costs caused by the use of high value marine platforms such as DP2 vessels and jack-ups to install and recover the tidal turbines. QED Naval have developed a unique method of installing and recovering tidal turbines using their platforms unique submerged stability characteristics. This fully integrated platform which encapsulates everything required to operate seabed mounted tidal turbines, invisibly, and offers the industry reliable deployment over a wide range of weather conditions maintaining >80% operational availability over onsite wind, wave and tidal conditions.
Importantly, Subhub offers the opportunity to increase the site capacity or yield from the site by >40% transforming the commercial viability of any project.
In a recent feasibility assessment, QED Naval demonstrated, using actual site measurements at 6 different locations, how their project would be deployed along with the commercially measures to demonstrate the viability of the project. A clear conclusion of this work was, deploying a utility scale Subhub solution would enable the client to compete with offshore wind in the next CFD round in terms of LCOE, capacity and timescales for the project.
Moving the Subhub to the quayside in readiness for the launch of the Community Subhub Demonstrator is the first step in validating the claims of high yield and ease of installation and recovery.

What attracted you to studying at Kent?
Coming to the University of Kent was an easy decision for me as the course was exactly what I was looking for. I previously studied Architecture at undergraduate level in Malaysia but I wanted to go in a more digital direction so the MA in Architectural Visualisation was the perfect choice.
What were your first impressions of Canterbury?
Coming to the UK to study was actually my first visit here. I spent some time in London before heading to Canterbury to start my studies and have found that there is not as many distractions in Canterbury as there is in London making it a great place to study! Canterbury is only a 15 minute walk away and there are lots of nice places to eat and drink. There are a lot of transport links in the city which take you out to the coast and there is also the high speed to London.
Have you enjoyed studying at a campus university?
The Canterbury Campus is full of green spaces making it a great place to be in sunny weather. I live in Woolf College which has a good mix of students from all around the world, the accommodation is quiet, making it a good place to study. There are plenty of food outlets and bars on campus, a campus shop, doctor's surgery and all the other facilities that you will need.
What are your plans after you have finished studying?
I plan to look for a job in London after I have finished my studies. I would like to ideally get a job in the gaming or film industry in the future.
What have you enjoyed most about the course so far?
I really enjoyed doing the 'month project' as it gave me the freedom to choose an area which interested me. My project focused on film animation, the film I used in my project was called Howl's Moving Castle directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I have found the course quite demanding in terms of workload however I have learned an awful lot already. There is a nice mix of modules on the course and I have made some very good friends on the course.

The Sag Harbor Village Board of Trustees will hold a public hearing on a new law that would offer rebates for homeowners replacing aging septic systems when it meets at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, June 10.
The law would offer rebates for up to half the cost of replacing a septic system that was installed before 1981 and had not been upgraded or repaired since.
In most cases, the rebate would be limited to $2,500, although it would be doubled for alternate sewage disposal systems as defined by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services.
Rebates would be increased if a septic system being replaced was within 200 feet of any water body.
Last month, Mayor Brian Gilbride noted that the village had set aside $50,000 in next year's budget to kick-start the program, which would provide funds on a first-come, first-served basis.
The law will be tweaked to prevent homeowners who are upgrading their septic systems as part of any development project to qualify for the rebate, the mayor said.
A similar law was adopted in Southampton in 2013.
"In the upper cove, we are starting to see issues," Mr. Gilbride said last month. "We are a waterfront community, and this is something I'd really like to get done."

A Harvard University study published in June takes a look at oil and makes the bold prediction that world oil prices will go down, substantially, by 2020. Why? You guessed it—the miracle of hydraulic fracturing of shale, particularly in the U.S.
The study, titled "Oil: The Next Revolution – The Unprecedented Upsurge of Oil Production Capacity and What it Means for the World," (see below), says the Bakken/Three Forks play in North Dakota and Montana "could become a big Persian Gulf producing country within the United States." And that's just one play, out of 20!
Although this Harvard study is focused on oil, and MDN is largely focused on natural gas, the study highlights the critical role played by shale formations, and drilling in shale, sometimes the same well bore, delivers not only natural gas but natural gas liquids and oil. So this study and it's conclusions are well worth your time to review. Notice the chart on page 13 of the PDF file (page 3 of the report): It shows the U.S. pulling very close to Saudi Arabia in oil production by 2020. Astonishing!

A 23-year-old Ram Bharose and his teenaged whiz-kid Sardar befriend Sarabjeet Sidhaana A.K.A. 'Cyberjeet' and strike upon an ingenious brainwave of starting a website that helps young couples in Amritsar elope and get married. The website is called 'runningshaadi.com' and it offers a comprehensive array of services to facilitate runaway weddings. The website becomes an instant hit with young, love-struck couples facing pressure from their parents and the site becomes a rage in small town Amritsar. While they are successful in getting many couples together, the underlying story of Runningshaadi.com lends itself to an unexpected twist. What happens with the site, along with the absurdities of making couples elope, is the catch of the film that lends an humorous joy ride.

GAUDETE – The Third Sunday of Advent The third Sunday of Advent is called "Gaudete Sunday," from the Latin word meaning "rejoice": Gaudete in Domino semper: iterum dico, gaudete. Modestia vestra nota sit omnibus hominibus: Dominus enim prope est. Nihil solliciti sitis: sed in omni oratione petitiones vestræ innotescant apud Deum. Benedixisti Domine terram tuam: avertisti captivitatem Jacob. This may be translated as Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your forbearance be known to all, for the Lord is near at hand; have no anxiety about anything, but in all things, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be known to God. Lord, you have blessed your land; you have turned away the captivity of Jacob. — Philippians 4:4–6; Psalm 85 (84):1 A traditional Advent wreath has three purple candles and one pink one: on Gaudete Sunday, we light the pink one! We pause on our spiritual journey to lift up our eyes and see joy approaching—hence we rejoice (before settling back into penitence […]

In keeping with the purple, hot pink and turquoise theme for Little C's new bedroom, we got to work on some wall art to match her pillows.
A new Michael's craft store opened up in our town, and we shopped there for the first time last week. It was wonderful. I forgot how addicted I was to craft supplies just for a moment.
As soon as we turned into the scrapbook paper aisle, a sheet of deep purple, heavily glittered paper caught C's eye. She squealed with delight:
"Mommy, mommy! Can I buy this? Can we make a craft with this?"
How could I say no?
We settled on making some easy DIY wall art for her room with this glittery purple scrapbook paper, some hot pink fabric, some stick-on jewels and some foam board. It was a cute and easy project and we could do it together!
Here's how you can make one too:
- glittery scrapbook cardstock paper
- fabric
- old or new foam board
- gem stickers
- "pop dot" stickers (you can find them in the scrapbooking aisle of your local craft store – they're to add dimension)
- glue gun
Cut an 8 x 10″ piece (or whatever size you want the art to be) out of the foam board (I just used some used stuff that was a little dirty and written on – it doesn't matter).
Cut a piece of fabric that's about an inch bigger than the foam rectangle on all sides. Place the foam board over top with the right side of the fabric facing down and then fold the fabric over to the back of the board and glue with a glue gun. Pull the fabric taught as you glue for a smooth finish.
Print a shape on your computer that's about 6″ x 6″ (we used a heart, and we want to do a butterfly and a flower next) on cardstock, cut it out, and then use it as a stencil to trace the shape on the back of the glitter paper. Cut the glitter shape out.
Decorate the shape with stick-on gems (this is a great job for a kid!) and then stick some of the pop dots on the back of the shape. Center the shape on your fabric-covered board and you're done!
You could put the art in the frame, or attach it to a wall with wall-friendly adhesive.
It's sparkly, easy and fun art that you can make with your little one for their room!

So, you finished your interview, went home excited to hear back, but now what? Maybe it's been a few days (or more) and you haven't heard anything.
I'm going to show you exactly how to send a follow up email after your interview if you've gotten no response, with examples and templates.
One WARNING first though: Don't use these follow-up templates to email the company after one day! It takes time for the company to interview people and make decisions. If it's one day after your interview, you should be sending a "thank you" email instead (I'll cover that too).
Follow up email subject lines are important. They decide whether your email gets opened, and how fast.
I'd recommend following up with whoever said they'd been in touch. Or follow up with whoever you've been talking to for scheduling, etc.
The best subject line, and the one that's going to get opened faster than anything else, is to simply reply to the latest email between the two of you.
It'll look something like this:
"Re: Interview on Thursday at 10 AM"
They'll open it immediately because it'll appear as part of the previous conversation. Much better than starting a whole new email for this.
I'd keep it simple and straight-forward. Don't be shy or unclear. Tell them you're excited to hear back and wanted to check if there's an update or a decision yet. This is the best follow-up email if you already sent a "Thank You" email.
How to write a follow up email after an interview:
Note: This strategy above is best if you've already sent a "Thank You" email a day after your interview. I'm going to give you one in this article coming up in a minute, so keep reading.
We can't go back in time though. So if you didn't send a "Thank You" email after your last interview and a few days have passed, I'll show you what to send… You just need a follow up email that also thanks them for interviewing you, since this is your first contact with them.
Best follow-up email if you DIDN'T already send a "Thank You" email:
The interview follow up steps above will still work, but we need to add one piece near the start. After greeting them by their name, you should thank them for taking the time to interview you.
I'd mention the specific date you spoke to remind them, too. Something like this: "Dear Jeff, thank you for taking the time to meet with me on Thursday".
Then you can jump right into step #4 above. Say you enjoyed learning about the position you discussed (be specific and refer to it by the job title).
Then tell them you're hoping for an update. Be clear and direct, and ask for what you want.
Finish by thanking them, and ending the email with your full name, just like in the steps above.
For next time, here is a "Thank You" email template I recommend right after your interview. Send it at lunchtime the following day:
"Hi <NAME>,
I wanted to take a minute to thank you for your time yesterday. I enjoyed our conversation about <SPECIFIC TOPIC>, and the <JOB TITLE> position sounds like an exciting opportunity for me at this point in my career. I'm looking forward to hearing any updates you can share, and don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns."
No. Don't complicate it. Be up-front and say what you actually want, which I assume is an update on the status.
This email is your best shot at getting that update without seeming pushy, anxious, insecure, desperate, or any of the things that'll turn a company off.
In all likelihood, the person you emailed will get back to you and apologize and say they're still working on a decision. Or there's a chance they have news to share and will update you as soon as they get your email.
Either way, you reminded them you're waiting for news and still interested, which is important if 4-5 days have passed because companies love to hire people that seem genuinely interested. If you want to know why, or what else a company looks for first, you should check out my complete list of job interview tips. It'll help you understand the company's mindset a lot better.
Send your first follow-up email five business days after the interview if you weren't told when to expect feedback. Or, if the employer provided you with an expected date for feedback after the interview, wait at least one additional business day beyond that. This will help you avoid seeming overly-eager when following up.
Remember – delays do happen and the decision-making process takes time. So the best thing to do while waiting for a status update is apply for more jobs and try to get more interviews scheduled. You shouldn't stop doing this until you've signed a job offer!
No matter how well you write your interview follow up email, it isn't going to get a company to move its process faster, bypass delays, skip over other candidates, etc. This is why you should keep applying for jobs, because you never know if a company is interviewing 10 other people, considering promoting an internal candidate, or any number of other things that could cost you the job.
This is a pretty likely scenario, they respond to your email and say they're still waiting for something to happen. Sometimes they'll be specific on what that 'something' is but usually not. Either way I'd respond with something to keep the conversation alive and give yourself an opening to follow up again if needed.
Here's an example of an email reply you could send them:
"Thanks for the update. Do you have a sense of what the timing will look like moving forward? Or when would be an appropriate time for me to check back in? I'm excited about the opportunity, but I know these things take time so I don't want to follow up too often here."
If you sent your followup email after the interview and didn't hear back, here's what to do:
First, make sure you've waited a one or two days for a response (not counting weekends). Give them some time.
Then send a followup to the same person, replying to the same email you already sent and keeping the subject line.
Email Body:
"Hi <NAME>,
Just wanted to make sure you saw my last email and follow up again to see if you had any updates regarding the <JOB TITLE> position. Please let me know when you get a chance. Thanks!"
If you still haven't heard back at that point, I'd be very patient. There's a chance someone necessary for the decision is on vacation or the person you emailed is extremely busy. If you get nothing after 48 MORE hours, you can email somebody else in the company.
I might wait even longer though. Really, at this point, you're not going to gain anything by sending more followups one day sooner. So if in doubt, just wait a bit. I might wait a full week at this point if it were my job search.
However, when you do feel it's time to take things further and check back in, here's what to do…
Pick the next logical person and send them an email. If you were emailing an HR person before, try the hiring manager or somebody in the department you interviewed in. Or the other way around – if you've been emailing with the hiring manager before the interview and they've gone silent, try checking in with HR.
Example Subject Line:
"Any interview updates? I emailed <CONTACT'S NAME> and didn't hear back"
It's a bit long, but it's specific which means it'll get opened and the person on the other end will know it's not spam.
The contact's name is who you've been emailing previously – the person who isn't answering your emails.
The Email Body:
"Hi <NAME>,
I emailed <CONTACT'S NAME> last week and hadn't heard back so I wanted to send you a brief note. Is there any feedback you can share about my interview or the status of the <JOB TITLE> position? I'm looking forward to hearing any new updates when your team has a chance. Thanks!"
If you follow the advice above, you will have great emails to send after any interview – from a phone interview to a final stage in-person interview.
However, there are also a few other tips I can share that will make the process easier and worry-free:
Tip 1: If you're still not 100% confident about anything above, you can always have a friend or family member look at your follow-up email before you send it out.
They can double-check everything and tell you if it sounds polite and is clear on what you're asking.
Tip 2: Try to end each interview by asking when you can expect to hear feedback. Simply say: "When can I expect to hear feedback, and who will be in touch?"
Sometimes it's normal for it to take 1-2 weeks for a response after your interview. For example, maybe you were the first person they interviewed and they need to talk to a couple other candidates before making a decision.
So this will save you a lot of stress because you'll know whether it's time to follow up or not, and you won't be worried if you've gotten no response after a couple of days.
If you have more interviews coming up and don't want to leave anything to chance, I've created a new guide where you can copy my exact step-by-step method for getting job offers. You can get more details here.

Shoes are basically practical objects, yet they can also be worn as adornment, for comfort, or even for pure delight. They can be the black pit sucking up a woman's salary, or the subject of a passing compliment, little more. But take them off our feet, tie the laces together and toss them up into the fathomless blue sky… and suddenly those down-to-earth soles are dangling from a power line, like lonely wingless birds, steeped in mystery.
Such far-flung footwear can be found the world over — from urban centers to deserted country roads. Wherever the shoes on a wire happen to be, speculation and burning questions follow. Why are they there? What story do they tell?
It would be easy to shrug off the sight of one or two pairs hanging on wires, but this worldwide phenomenon cannot be ignored. The sheer quantity of 'wire-shoes' makes it clear that this is not just a simple prank among friends or even a bully's revenge. Or is it? Theories abound, but there is virtually no conclusive evidence.
The most prevalent theory, and perhaps the most sinister, is that the hanging shoes are tied to gang activity. The belief is that shoes on power lines indicate that there is a place that sells drugs on the street; or that someone died or got their first kill there; or that they mark the border between rival gang territories.
While many people on online forums claim that there is truth to this, explaining that there are shoes hanging in front of local crack houses, it doesn't seem to hold water. There are simply too many shoes hanging from places where there are no gangs, no drug dealers, or even no buildings at all. In fact, an article on urban legends states that police have found no correlation between shoes on power lines and gang activity.
The shoes could also represent a rite of passage. Students finishing up a year in school or graduating may toss their shoes up to the lines to celebrate. Others could represent a marriage or a birth. As far back as WWII, soldiers threw their boots onto power lines at the end of their basic training or active duty.
Perhaps the most fun is to be had scanning forums on the topic. Readers commenting on a blog about the practice, lovingly called 'shoefiti', said the shoes were meant to return health to a disheartened child (Colombia), in hopes that you would get a new pair (Venezuela), so that it will rain during times of drought (Spain), or to scare away bats (Guatemala).
In the end, we shall have to be content with not knowing for sure. When you walk out your door and down the street, you can look up at a pair of shoes on a wire and wonder what their story is. You can imagine the people who tossed them up there, and speculate on why they did this. Perhaps there's simply a beauty in the sheer mystery and curiosity surrounding 'shoefiti'. Someday, you may even throw your own pair up there and add to the thousands of wingless soles, rocking back and forth in the wind.
