This invention concerns the simultaneous measurement of the chemical concentrations of the silicon and aluminium constituents of materials. It provides both a method and apparatus for that purpose. There are many possible applications of the present invention, including the measurement of silicon and aluminium in coal and in iron ores. However, the invention was developed primarily to permit the monitoring of the chemical concentrations of aluminium and silicon in bauxite ores, as part of a quality control process for the mineral industry, and it is this application of the invention that will be described in detail in this specification.
There are two particular areas in the bauxite industry where the present invention will be used. One is the monitoring of ore quality during ship-loading operations of bauxite for export, where monitoring of aluminium grade and silicon impurity concentrations are essential to ensure that the ore satisfies export contract specifications. The other use is the monitoring of ore quality whilst sorting the bauxite into stockpiles of different specified chemical concentrations of silicon and aluminium. Depending on the way in which they have been formed, these stockpiles (a) may contain ore which has been blended for ore treatment plants or (b) may be used in subsequent blending operations.
In both of these situations, the current practice in monitoring the ore quality involves the periodic sampling of the ore from the bulk supply, which is usually moving on a conveyor belt when the sample is taken. The samples are moderately large (several kilogrammes) and are either subsampled immediately, or are mixed with other samples, taken by a predetermined number of automatic sampling cycles to form a representative bulk sample, which is then sub-sampled. Sub-sampling and crushing proceeds until a small specimen (of about 1 g) is ultimately available for chemical analysis by wet chemical assaying or by X-ray fluorescence analysis procedures. These sample preparation procedures are particularly time-consuming if good representivity of the bulk is required in the sample. The analysis is also time-consuming.
It has been found that in some situations (for instance during ship loading), when variations of ore quality occur these analytical methods are not fast enough to permit steps to be taken to correct the chemical concentrations of aluminium and silicon (for example, by further blending measures). If it were possible to apply the prior art techniques to on-stream analysis of bauxite on a moving belt, a more rapid analysis of the constituents and hence more rapid corrective blending measures should, in principle, be possible. Unfortunately, wet chemical methods cannot be applied to an on-stream situation, and on-stream X-ray fluorescence methods are inapplicable to lump-flow measurement. The X-ray fluorescence method is also unsuitable for the analysis of untreated bulk samples, due to the low penetration of X-radiation (less than 1 mm), and the fact that the ore is heterogeneous as regards moisture and particle size.
Neutron activation analysis, which is the basis of the present invention, does not have the problems associated with wet chemical assaying or the X-ray fluorescence technique, noted above, when applied to the analysis of large bulk samples. Indeed, activation analysis methods are directly applicable to large bulk samples and require minimal sample preparation in terms of crushing and drying. They also avoid most of the heterogeneity problems associated with the application of X-ray fluorescence analysis to bulk samples because the neutrons and gamma rays involved have a much deeper penetration than X-rays. For this reason, the monitoring of bauxite ore quality (and the aluminium and silicon content of other materials) on moving belts is amenable to the neutron activation method of the present invention.
Neutron activation methods have previously been applied to the analysis of silicon and aluminium in small samples (less than 150 g). For example, they have been described in the paper by F. Dugain and J. Tatar in Ann. Inst. Geol. Publici Hungary, Volume 54, p 375 (1970), and in the papers by L. Alaerts, J. P. Op de Beeck, and J. Hoste, in Anal. Chim. Acta, Volume 70, p 253 (1974) and in Anal. Chim. Acta, Volume 78, p 329 (1975). These methods depend on two interactions with the constituent chemical elements. One interaction is that occurring between fast neutrons and 28 Si, producing 28 Al by the reaction 28 Si(n,p)28 Al. The product, 28 Al, decays with a 2.3 minute half life, emitting 1.78 MeV gamma radiation. Similarly, when the aluminium constituent of the sample is irradiated with slow neutrons, the same radioactive isotope, 28 Al, is produced with the consequent emission of 1.78 MeV gamma radiation. Since there is negligible interaction between the fast neutrons and the material in small samples, the chemical concentrations of silicon and aluminium can be calibrated directly against the number of 1.78 MeV gamma ray counts observed within a given time interval after irradiation first with fast neutrons and then with slow neutrons. With bulk samples of bauxite, particularly samples having a significant water content, special allowance must be made for the slowing down of the fast neutrons used for the silicon analysis and the associated production of 28 Al due to the capture of slow neutrons by the aluminium during the same irradiation. One method of allowing for this effect is described below, in the description of the operation of the present invention.
For the currently used neutron activation analysis techniques, because two irradiations are necessary (with fast, then slow neutrons), there is a considerable capital outlay on the two neutron sources and their respective shielding assemblies. If the analysis is applied to a moving stream of ore on a belt, two spectrometric gamma ray detectors [for example, 127�127 mm NaI(T1)] are also required. If the analysis is performed on bulk samples contained in bins or boxes, although only one gamma ray detector is necessary, the analysis procedures for silicon and aluminium must duplicate each other, which doubles the necessary time and effort for analysis. In addition, for the measurements to be useful to the analyst, it is essential that the fast and slow neutron flux should be constant and reproducible from one measurement to the next.
The present invention offers appreciable savings in time and equipment cost, compared with current technology, by providing a method of analysis which is based on a single sample irradiation followed by a single measurement procedure.
The nuclear reactions providing the basis of the present invention are:
27 Al(n,p)27 Mg (used for the determination of the aluminium constituent), and
28 Si(n,p)28 Al (for the silicon determination).
The energies of neutrons effective in these reactions are greater than 4.5 MeV. The radioactive nucleus 27 Mg decays with a half life of 9.46 minutes and emits two gamma rays during its decay, which have energies of 0.844 MeV and 1.055 MeV respectively. The emission and half life of the other radioactive nucleus, 28 Al, have been described above. As previously mentioned, a third nuclear reaction is important with all bulk samples having significant water content as well as aluminium and silicon constituents. This reaction, 27 Al(n,γ)28 Al, which entails the capture of slow neutrons in aluminium, results in the emission of 1.78 MeV gamma radiation which is additional to the 1.78 MeV gamma radiation resulting from the fast neutron reaction with the silicon constituent of the sample. (Note that even with sources emitting only fast neutrons for sample irradiations, appreciable numbers of fast neutrons are slowed down to thermal energies within the sample by their collision with the hydrogen nuclei associated with the water content of the sample).
Applications of the above nuclear reactions for the fast neutron activation analysis of aluminium and silicon have been described in the scientific literature. For example, reference can be made to the paper by R. H. Gijbels and J. Hertogen in Pure Appl. Chem., Volume 49, p 1555, (1977), and the paper by J. Kuusi in Nucl. Appl. Technol., Volume 8, p 465 (1970). However, these applications are either for small samples, or for larger samples that contain little hydrogen and therefore cause negligible moderation of the fast neutrons within the samples.
The present invention overcomes the problem of interference by aluminium with silicon from the 1.78 MeV gamma radiation in the following way. After the fast neutron irradiation, the 1.78 MeV gamma rays from the sample are measured concurrently with those emitted by 27 Mg at 0.844 MeV and 1.015 MeV for a preset time interval. (If the sample container is fabricated from a material such as copper, which produces gamma radiation interfering with the 1.015 MeV gamma rays of the sample, the 1.015 MeV gamma rays are excluded from the analysis). Since the number of counts from 27 Mg are due only to aluminium, the chemical concentration of aluminium can be related directly to these recorded counts, given a knowledge of the mass of the sample. With a knowledge of the aluminium content of the sample, provided the slow neutron flux in the material is also known, the component of the 1.78 MeV gamma radiation due to slow neutron reactions with the aluminium can be subtracted from the total 1.78 MeV gamma radiation count to provide the gamma radiation at 1.78 MeV resulting from fast neutron activation of the silicon in the sample.
Because the thermal neutron flux within the bulk sample is sensitive to water content, it is essential to measure the number of thermal neutrons in a given time interval during the neutron irradiation. For this purpose, a suitable neutron detector will be located adjacent to the sample. The number of neutrons recorded by the detector is proportional to the thermal neutron flux within the sample.
Thus, according to the present invention, a method of simultaneously analysing the aluminium and silicon content of a sample of material comprises the steps of:
(a) irradiating the sample with fast neutrons;
(b) monitoring the thermal neutron flux within the sample;
(c) monitoring the gamma radiation from the irradiated sample at energies of 1.78 MeV and 1.015 and/or 0.844 MeV;
(d) using the monitored gamma radiation at 1.015 and/or 0.844 MeV to estimate the aluminium content of the sample; and
(e) using the monitored gamma radiation at 1.78 MeV, compensated by the gamma radiation at 1.78 MeV due to the thermal neutron reaction with the estimated aluminium in the sample, to estimate the silicon content of the sample.
Also according to the present invention, apparatus for the simultaneous analysis of aluminium and silicon content of a sample of material comprises:
(a) a fast neutron source, adapted to irradiate the sample of material;
(b) a thermal neutron detector, located to monitor the thermal neutron flux in the irradiated sample; and
(c) a gamma ray detector separated from the neutron source and shielded therefrom, adapted to monitor the gamma spectrum from the irradiated sample, at least at energies of 1.78 MeV and of 0.844 and/or 1.015 MeV.
Other features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment of the invention, in which reference will be made to the accompanying drawings, of which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an experimental arrangement for the measurement of the aluminium and silicon content of a sample;
FIG. 2 is a diagram, partly schematic and partly in block form, illustrating the components used in the neutron activation analysis arrangement illustrated in FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 3 and 4 are graphs displaying the results of aluminium and silicon determinations in samples which have been subjected to both conventional analysis and analysis by the neutron activation technique of the present invention.
Before describing the apparatus and technique in detail it will be helpful to consider the mathematics associated with the present invention.
In a sample containing both aluminium and silicon, the grade of aluminium, Al, is related to the number of counts, G, recorded of gamma rays emitted by 27 Mg at 0.844 MeV and/or 1.015 MeV, and to the sample weight, W, by the equation:
Al=a0 +a1 G+a2 W. (1)
The constant coefficients a0, a1 and a2 are determined from linear regression analysis by calibrating the responses G and W of the apparatus against the aluminium content of known samples using linear regression analysis.
The number of counts G is determined from the equation
G=GT -kJ, (2)
where GT is the total number of gamma rays recorded in an energy window encompassing the 0.844 MeV and/or 1.015 peaks, J is the total number of counts recorded of 1.78 MeV gamma rays, and k is a constant. The term kJ is used to subtract the spectral continuum due to both the Compton scattered 1.78 MeV gamma radiation and background due to the neutron source.
Al=a0 +a1 GT +a2 W+a3 J, (3)
where a3 =-a1 K.
Similarly, the chemical concentration of silicon, Si, in the sample can be related to the number of counts per unit time, H, of 1.78 MeV gamma rays due to the 28 Si(n,p)28 Al reaction and the sample weight, W, by:
Si=b0 +b1 H+b2 W, (4)
where b0, b1 and b2 are constant coefficients obtainable from regression analysis by calibrating the responses H and W against the silicon content of known samples using linear regression analysis.
In practice, with bulk bauxite samples, however, the total number of counts per unit time due to 1.78 MeV gamma rays from 28 Al, J, contains two indistinguishable components H and I, where I is the component contributed by thermal neutron activation of 27 Al. The number of counts, I, is proportional to the product of the number of thermal neutrons, Nt, measured during irradiation and the aluminium concentration of the sample. Because the number of counts, GT, previously referred to, are related to the aluminium concentration, and since Nt is proportional to the thermal neutron flux within the sample, the actual silicon concentration in the sample is given by:
Si=b0 +b3 J+b4 GT Nt +b2 W, (5)
where b3 and b4 are regression coefficients, and where b0, b2, b3 and b4 are calibration coefficients determined by linear regression analysis as described above.
Equations (3) and (5) are used in analysis of materials in accordance with the present invention.
The experimental arrangement devised to test the present invention, and illustrated in FIG. 1, comprises a neutron source 10 and thermal neutron detector 11 located close to a railway track 12 on which a small sample of material 13 can be moved. Also close to the track 12, but remote from the neutron source 10 and detector 11, is a gamma ray detector 14, suitably shielded by a lead screen 15 and a masonry shield 16.
In the experimental facility shown in FIG. 1, the neutron source was 20 Ci of Am-Be, giving an estimated output of 4.4�107 n/s. The samples of material 13 were contained in a rectangular brass box 17 (25�25�4 cm deep) and were irradiated by fast neutrons from underneath. The neutron source 10 was enclosed within a cyclindrical shell 21 of cadmium (see FIG. 2) which prevented the thermal neutrons emitted by the source from reaching the sample 13. The thermal neutron flux generated within the sample 13 was monitored by thermal neutron detector 11, which was a high efficiency neutron detector (filled to a pressure of 4 atmospheres with a mixture of 3 He and Kr) which was also located beneath the sample container and adjacent to the neutron source.
After irradiation by source 10 for 6 minutes, the sample 13 was transferred within 15 seconds to a position immediately above the gamma detector 14, which comprised a 127�127 mm NaI(T1) scintillation detector. The distance between the neutron source 10 and gamma detector 14 was about 7 meters. This separation between source and detector added a considerable component of distance shielding to the already appreciable shielding against source radiation provided by concrete brick structures 16 and 26 built around both the NaI(T1) detector 14 and the neutron source assemblies. The lead shield 15, of thickness 3 cm, which was built around the body of the scintillation detector 14 so as to leave only the upper plane surface exposed for measurements, provided further reduction of background radiation. Spectrum stabilization was obtained using 0.662 MeV gamma rays from a 137 Cs source (not shown in the drawings) which provided a reference peak for a Canberra Industries Model 1520 analogue spectrum stabilizer.
The energy spectra of gamma rays detected by the scintillation detector 14 were analysed in the initial phases of the development of the method by a Tracor Northern 4096-channel pulse height analyser (model TN-1700). At a later stage, when energy-pulse height calibrations had been fully established, Ortec single channel analysers, digital counters and a timer were used, as shown in FIG. 2, for their greater suitability to plant or mine site operating requirements. The amplifiers used were a Tennelec linear amplifier for the scintillation detector 14 and an Ortec spectroscopy amplifier for the neutron detector 11. Output from the digital counters was obtained with a strip printer.
The partly schematic and partly block form diagram of FIG. 2 is essentially a more comprehensive illustration of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1. In particular, the high energy neutron source 10 and the thermal neutron detector 11 are shown more explicitly, with the neutron source 10 encased in cadmium shielding 21 and the source 10 and detector 11 positioned within masonry shielding 26.
A single high voltage power supply 22 services both the thermal neutron detector 11 and the gamma ray detector 14.
The output signal from the thermal neutron detector 11 is first amplified in gain control unit 23, and if the signal, when amplified, exceeds a required threshold value (determined by threshold device 24), it is supplied to the input of a digital counter 25. The output from counter 25 is fed into processor 32, which is usually a microprocessor or small computer, programmed to effect the required analysis from its three input signals.
The other two input signals to the processor 32 are signals indicative of the values G and J (see the above description). These signals are derived from the gamma rays received by the gamma detector 14 as a result of the decay of, respectively, the 28 Al and 27 Mg isotopes formed during the irradiation of the sample. These inputs are obtained after the output of detector 14 has been processed by amplifier 26, a gamma ray discriminator, and digital counters 28 and 28A. The gamma ray discriminator has been shown in the drawing as two gamma ray single channel analysers 27 and 27A. In practice, these devices 27 and 27A may be a single unit comprising a multi-channel analyser with outputs from channels which have energy windows, typically about 0.35 MeV wide, centred on 0.844 MeV, 1.015 MeV and 1.78 MeV.
Presettable timer 31 controls the operation of the digital counters 28 and 28A. Timer 31 will be synchronized with, but operating sequentially to, pre-settable timer 30 which controls the operation of the digital counter 25.
The output from the processor 32 may be recorded. For example, it may be stored on magnetic tape, magnetic disc, magnetic card, punched tape, punched card, or on any other suitable medium. Alternatively, or additionally, the output from the processor 32 may be presented as a digital display, a paper print-out, or on a chart recorder. Those skilled in this field will appreciate that the actual form of the presentation of the output from processor 32 may be chosen to suit the requirements of the owner or operator of the equipment. Accordingly, a single, unspecified display unit 33 has been included in FIG. 2.
In one example of the experimental testing of the present invention, bauxite samples were dried to less than 5 percent (by weight) free moisture and crushed to -6 mm particle size. It should be noted, however, that this amount of pre-treatment is not essential. The bauxite samples contained aluminium in the range from 26 wt. percent to 32 wt. percent, whilst the silicon concentrations ranged from 0.9 wt. percent to 4.5 wt. percent. The mass of the sample used for irradiation was about 4 kg.
As expected, when the bauxite was irradiated with fast neutrons, the gamma ray spectra were dominated by the 1.78 MeV gamma ray peak due to 28 Al, and by a spectral continuum of gamma rays which had undergone Compton scattering both within the detector and within the bulk sample. This continuum underlies the spectral peaks at 1.015 and 0.844 MeV due to 27 Mg. The Comptom scattering processes in this example were dominated by gamma rays which initially had energies of 1.78 MeV, 1.014 MeV and 0.844 MeV originating from the sample, and 0.662 MeV due to the 137 Cs stabilization reference source. In the case of bauxite, again as expected, the interferences from other constituents, such as the natural radioactive nuclides, was minimal, and those from 56 Mn at 0.846 MeV, 1.811 MeV and 2.113 MeV were very small. (This nuclide, with a 2.57 hr. half life, can arise from the 55 Mn(n,γ)56 Mn reaction, or from a 56 Fe(n,p)56 Mn reaction; the first of these reactions will contribute negligible 56 Mn owing to the extremely low concentration of manganese in Australian bauxites, despite the relatively large cross section of 13.3 barns for that reaction; the second reaction, involving iron, contributes more 56 Mn than the first, but constitutes a constant level of about 2 percent interference, the variation of which is only about 1 percent of the gamma ray signal from 27 Mg.)
Another source of spectral interference which occurred in this example arose from the neutron activation of the copper constituent of the brass sample container, which contributed a small peak at 1.05 MeV. It was necessary, therefore, to exclude from calculations all count data that would have been recorded in a narrow energy window, about 0.1 MeV wide, centred at 1.05 MeV.
Apart from interferences to the spectral peaks due to 28 Al and 27 Mg from monoenergetic gamma rays emitted by minor constituents of the sample and sample container, there was also substantial interference from the continuum of scattered gamma radiation. The extent of interference with the 1.78 MeV spectral peak appeared to be insignificant owing to negligible gamma radiation apparent at higher energies. However, the 0.844 MeV gamma ray peak due to 27 Mg received considerable interference from the substantial underlying continuum caused by Comptom scattering of the 1.78 MeV gamma radiation from the decay of 28 Al and background from the neutron source.
One technique that could have been used to overcome the interference problem when using multichannel pulse height analysers for neutron activation analysis is that which is described in the specification of Australian Pat. No. 468,970. That method entails an estimation of the underlying continuum which is based on the number of counts in an energy channel close to the relevant spectral peak. However, in the present experimental arrangement, an alternative method was effectively implemented with the use of single channel analysers for the activation analysis of bauxite. The method simply entailed the establishment of two particular energy windows. One window, centred at 0.844 MeV, is approximately 0.1 MeV wide. The other window, about 0.35 MeV wide, encompasses the 1.78 MeV peak.
Implementation of these two energy-window conditions alone worked well because the counts accumulated within the spectral continuum occurring within the first narrow window are proportional, with good approximation, to the number of counts due to 28 Al, 1.78 MeV gamma radiation. The counts recorded in these two windows were respectively denoted by GT and J in equations (3) and (5) for purposes of either determining the calibration coefficients, ai and bj, or for determining the chemical concentrations of silicon and aluminium in samples when calibrations, and hence coefficients, were already known.
After performing a number of experiments with well-blended, effectively homogeneous, ore samples of accurately known composition, the data from the activation analysis were fitted against the known chemical assays for aluminium and silicon by linear regression analysis, in order to determine the constant coefficients in equations (3) and (5). The respective precisions for silicon and aluminium determinations in bulk samples were obtained in terms of the sample standard deviations (s) as shown below:
(a) When using equations (3) and (5), and the method of the present invention,
for Al: s=0.43 percent Al
for Si: s=0.14 percent Si
(b) When the contribution by gamma rays from 27 Mg at 0.844 MeV is omitted from equation 5,
for Si: s=0.19 percent Si
(c) When the contributions both by the gamma rays from 27 Mg at 0.844 MeV and thermal neutrons measured below the sample container are omitted from equation 5,
for Si: s=0.82 percent Si
As shown by the smaller standard deviations for the results obtained using the present invention, the present invention compares most favourably with alternatives (b) and (c).
Comparisons between neutron activation determinations for aluminium and silicon, expressed as alumina (Al2 O3) and silica (SiO2) respectively, and determinations by conventional analysis are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. The calibration equations used to calculate the neutron activation determinations of alumina and silica in FIGS. 3 and 4 were as follows:
Al2 O3 =71.04-0.946GT -9.636W-0.242 J (6)
SiO2 =12.93+0.665J-0.0477GT Nt -2.61W (7)
where J and GT are expressed in thousands of counts, Nt in millions of counts, and W in kilograms.
It will be clear to those skilled in this art that (a) the container 17 need not be of brass and thus need not generate a significant component of the gamma spectra being studied, (b) the rail and bulk sample of the experimental arrangement described above can be substituted by a conveyor belt carrying ore (or other material) between a neutron irradiation station and a downstream gamma monitoring station, to enable on-stream analysis for silicon and aluminium of the material being carried by the belt, and (c) the rail and bulk sample of the experimental arrangement described above can be substituted by the stationary walls and surrounding rock of a borehole, and both the source and detector can be simultaneously moved in the borehole to enable borehole logging for silicon and aluminium. For such an arrangement, the high energy neutron source, the thermal neutron detector and the gamma ray detector will be mounted on a borehole probe, which can then be lowered into a borehole to any required position to analyse the rock surrounding the borehole. Normally the signal processing equipment will not be included on the probe, but will be connected to the source and detectors by long cables.

|Nelly Thompson was a happy housewife who did not care much about anything but keeping her house and raising the kids. But there was one thought which deprived her of her sleep. She had once seen Terry, her son, in the shower, and his sizeable cock was her obsession. One evening she could not keep in her lust anymore and simply pulled Terry's pants off! At first she was anxious whether Terry would like her mature body, but the boy was so passionate:
Mary's father, lives with Mary, while their mother moved to another town after
divorce. Bob has many friends, and Mary, a shy pretty girl,
is often the target of their jokes. Bob was having more and more intense fantasies about Mary giving blowjob to him and his friend, so there came an evening when he invited his sexy daughter to have a couple of drinks: Mary performed so good she was all soaked in cum of her father and his amazed friend!
|Anthony Kowalski, a divorced teacher, loved his cute blonde daughter Amanda more than anyone in the world. Since her very childhood he enjoyed taking photos and filming her on camera. When she grew into a very beautiful teen girl, Anthony's shootings acquired a different taste. Sometimes he thought that it would have been great to film her naked, and one day he talked her into some naked posing, which led them to a totally hardcore incest scene:

The Bfg interviews: Steven Spielberg, Mark Rylance, Ruby Barnhill, Rebecca Hall and Penelope Wilton sit down to talk about the new adaptation of the Roald Dahl classic. The Bfg interviews

Close your eyes and you can hear the music of John Williams without trying too hard. You know the greatest hits and can probably hum through most of them from start to finish, even if the extent of your musical career is plunking out "Heart and Soul" on your grandparent's piano.
The legacy of Williams' music extends beyond the cinema. The "NBC Nightly News" theme? That was him. That fanfare you'll be hearing once the Olympics arrive? Him, too. A fan of that "Sunday Night Football" march that leads up to kickoff? Guess who.
And even though the world now recognizes Williams for his trademark triumphant horns and sweeping orchestral strings, this was a composer who, a year before "Jaws," was penning acoustic love themes so '70s they would make Burt Bacharach blush. So as much as we remember the soundtracks to dizzying flights across space and wide shots of dinosaurs in paradise, »

Prominent colorist Lou Levinson, who has worked with the world's top film directors and cinematographers, has been named a fellow of the Colorist Society International (CSI).
Over his long career Levinson has held senior positions at such companies as McA, Technicolor, and, currently, Apple. He has collaborated with Steven Speilberg and his go-to Dp Janusz Kaminski, and has helped craft the look of such films as "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial," "Empire of the Sun," "Batman," and "Batman Returns."
"The colorist is a person whose primary responsibility is to help creative authors of visual storytelling in all its forms further that storytelling with the 'look,'" Levinson said. "This means dealing with color, density, texture, composition, and motion issues as prime involvement. Helping the industry recognize the value of the colorist is why I support CSI's mission statement."

If hindsight is 20/20, than in the movie business it doesn't exist. What does that mean? Well, when you have a business that is predicated on the simple capitalistic principal of making money, yet, that very principal hinges on Art... Things start to make more sense.
We all have favorite movies. No matter how our tastes might grow or change over the years, we all love certain films more than others. It might be the story, it might be the feelings that a particular film evokes as it relates to our lives, it might be a score that we just can't get out of our heads. Whatever the reason may be, we love things because we love them and that is just the way it is.
Usually, the reason we fall in love with a particular film is the performance by an actor. We bring our own thoughts, values and ideas »

Not just fantasies, Steven Spielberg's visions of alien landings and artificial intelligence are also a barometer of a nation's hopes and fears
There is a moment in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun (1987) when an American plane strafes the Japanese camp where young Jim (Christian Bale) is interned. Then, in slow motion, the pilot sweeps past the burning buildings and turns his head and waves a sunny Hollywood hello to the enthralled watching boy. We're not just inside Jim's besotted response to American power here; the film really partakes in his vengeful rapture. My groan of disbelief, on first seeing it in the cinema, may have been audible outside in Leicester Square; in that instant, in the collision of the real and fantasy, I had seen the core of schmaltz within. Yet, now I feel that I was wrong: it is precisely in that collision that Spielberg's greatness lives. »

Whenever I went to Memphis with my parents, my time was divided between staying with my two grandmothers. How I thought about that time with them was defined, not surprisingly, by what sort of movie experiences I had with each. My dad's mom was the one who had cable, and she liked to go to bed early, meaning I learned all sorts of things at night. My mom's mom was the one who took me to the theater more often, and she'd take me to see pretty much anything as long as the rating was okay. One afternoon, she told me to get in the car because there was something special playing. I was ten years old, and I only knew The Pink Panther as a cartoon character. That afternoon, though, I saw The Return Of The Pink Panther, The Pink Panther Strikes Again, and Revenge Of The Pink Panther »

Burt Kwouk, the actor who played martial arts expert Cato in the original Peter Sellers "Pink Panther" films, has died at the age of 85. He "passed peacefully" according to his agent Jean Diamond, with no specific cause of death mentioned.
Born in northwest England in 1930 and raised in Shanghai, Kwouk had his first major role in 1958's "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness". He also appeared in two James Bond classics - "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice" - along with the original "Rollerball" and Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun". He also had guest spots on popular 1960s shows like "The Avengers," "Secret Agent" and "The Saint" and a regular role on 1980s British sitcom "Last of the Summer Wine'.
But it's his work in a half dozen "Pink Panther" films as Cato Fong that he'll always be remembered for. The character, a manservant to Sellers' bumbling Inspector Clouseau, »

London — Burt Kwouk, who played Inspector Clouseau's manservant Cato Fong in Blake Edwards' "Pink Panther" movies, has died at the age of 85.
Kwouk featured in seven "Pink Panther" pics, starting with 1964's "A Shot in the Dark" through to "Curse of the Pink Panther" in 1983. He played Cato, which was initially spelled Kato, a martial arts specialist who regularly attacked Clouseau, played by Peter Sellers, to keep him alert.
Other movie appearances included James Bond films "Goldfinger" and "You Only Live Twice," as well as Fred Schepisi's "Plenty," Steven Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun" and Roger Spottiswoode's "Air America."
TV series credits included "The Avengers," "The Saint," "Doctor Who," "Hart to Hart" and "Tenko," in which he played Major Yamauchi. One of his last dramatic roles was in BBC sitcom "Last of the Summer Wine," in which he played Entwistle from 2002 to 2010.

Since any New York cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it'd be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city's most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you're not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we're of the mind that it's time extremely well-spent.

By now, most of us know the story of Mad Max director George Miller and his never-realized Justice League project. But did you know there was another famous film he almost went on to direct for Warner Bros.? Some of us may never get over what Justice League: Mortal could have been. Perhaps the pain will be less acute over this new information, considering the final product was a relatively well-received movie. Miller (along with Roland Joffé) were at one point set to direct Contact. Ultimately directed by Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forrest Gump), 1997's Contact starred Jodie Foster as Dr. Eleanor Arroway, a Seti scientist whose long search for alien life leads to actual discovery and more doubt than she's every experienced in life. It also starred Matthew McConaughey, Tom Skerritt, James Woods, John Hurt, and Angela Bassett. The film changed a bit from Carl Sagan »

Mark Lamprell is not just a screenwriter (Babe: Pig in the City) and director (My Mother Frank, Goddess), but a novelist as well..
His second novel, A Lovers' Guide to Rome, has just been published by Allen and Unwin. As if that wasn't enough, his next film, A Few Less Men, will be released later in the year..
Lamprell got his start at Kennedy Miller, making documentaries about the making of, among other projects, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
"I was at Kennedy Miller for years", Lamprell said..
"I did a documentary series called Sports Crazy, a ten hour series, in 1987. Before that, every time they did a miniseries, I did a 'making of' one-hour special."
That led to Lamprell being enlisted by Miller as a writer on various projects, including one very large science-fiction adaptation.

"In 1987," begins the Guardian's Catherine Shoard, "Steven Spielberg offered Mark Rylance a part in his new movie, Empire of the Sun. The actor refused…. Nearly 30 years on, the pair are making up for lost time." Following last year's Bridge of Spies, The Bfg will premiere in Cannes. Then came word earlier this week of another collaboration, The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara with a screenplay by Tony Kushner. And Now Variety's Dave McNary reports that Rylance is "in talks" to join Simon Pegg, Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke and Ben Mendelsohn in Spielberg's Ready Player One. We're gathering news of more projects in the works, too, from Brian De Palma, Sam Mendes, Warren Beatty, David Lowery, Ramin Bahrani and more. » - David Hudson »

In 1987, Steven Spielberg offered Mark Rylance a part in his new movie, Empire of the Sun. The actor refused. Spielberg offered him a larger part. Rylance, after consulting the I Ching, again turned him down, opting for a season at the RSC.

Miranda Richardson and Clancy Brown have joined Jake Gyllenhaal and Tatiana Maslany in Lionsgate's Boston Marathon bombing movie "Stronger," with production starting this week in Boston.
Gyllenhaal stars as Jeff Bauman, while Maslany plays his girlfriend Erin Hurley. Brown ("Hail, Caesar!") will portray Bauman's father.
The film is a production of Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment label, Mandeville Films, Bold Films and Nine Stories. It's Gyllenhaal's first production under his Nine Stories banner.
Inspired by a true story and based on the New York Times bestseller, Gyllenhaal stars as the working-class Boston man whose iconic photo from the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing gained worldwide notice.
Bauman was waiting for his girlfriend at the finish line of the marathon when two pressure-cooker bombs exploded, killing three people and injuring more than 260 others. When Bauman awoke the next day after surgeries and realized he could not speak, he asked for »

What young actor wouldn't want to work with Steven Spielberg, especially when it comes to the adaptation of a literary phenomenom? Richard Dreyfuss was a promising young actor (American Graffiti) when he was elevated into a star in Spielberg's adaptation of Peter Benchley's Jaws back in 1975. Whoopi Goldberg had already demonstrated her potential on stage before she launched onto another level with her starring role in Spielberg's adaptation of Alice Walker's The Color Purple in 1985. Young Christian Bale emerged onto the world stage with his starring role in Spielberg's adaptation of J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun in 1987.

Since his breakout role in 1987.s Empire of the Sun, Christian Bale have proven his acting chops and willingness to transform himself, especially physically, for any job. Now, though, it looks like Bale may be putting the breaks on full physical transformation. The actor just pulled out of a plum role because of it. A report from Deadline is saying that Christian Bale has severed his commitment to the biopic Enzo Ferrari. The actor would have had to gain weight to play the title role. Enzo Ferrari was due to start shooting in the spring, and Bale pulled out over health concerns that he wouldn.t be able to safely gain the amount of weight required to begin filming as scheduled. Director Michael Mann has been working on bringing the project to the big screen for quite a while, so the loss of star Christian Bale at this late date »

Go ahead give it a try, you really have nothing to lose.
Don't just take our word for it. We hold the highest possible A+ rating from the nations foremost online reliability source: The BBB. We are proud of this rating and value the message it carries. The BBB has affirmed Musika as a reliable, trustworthy, safe business to work with, and we have the customer feedback to support this. We are continually working to make sure that Musika is a business you can trust.
Background checks available on instructors. Instructor can opt to have a background check on file. You can request to only be connected with teachers that have a check. The choice is yours.
Many of our adult flute students are complete beginners, while others are former flutists now returning to an old hobby. We also have students who are more advanced and are looking to take their skills in to the next level. Our network of teachers have proven methods to get you the results you desire.
Musika offers customized lessons for each student. Additionally, teachers will focus on posture, breathing, tone, articulation, note-reading, and instrument care. Musika's network of teachers want every student to excel and they will do their best to help each player realize his or her potential!
Flute lessons can occur in your home for the same price as in-studio lessons. The student lets Musika know what days and times work best, and we arrange for an instructor to come to your home, at no extra cost to you!
At the beginning level, renting a flute is the best option. For younger, smaller flutists, the student might consider using a curved head joint to make to the flute easier to hold. As the student progresses, consider purchasing a more advanced model with open hole keys and B foot joint.
The flute is the one of the smallest instrument in the band and is therefore easy for young players to transport and hold. Musika recommends beginning the flute around 7 or 8 when the student is old enough to properly hold the instrument and press the keys. The flute does take significant amount of lung capacity, so the player does need to have the physical requirements to produce a quality sound.
Review by Marcia Hecht
Karleen has really turned it around for me. My previous teacher (not from Musika) had me feeling anxious, upset, and incapable...NOT the desired result! Karleen's method is clear, appropriate for my beginning level, and (best of all) actually lets me achieve some progress! I'm actually looking forward to my lessons now!
Review by Natalie Kretcher
I really like her. And as an adult student, a good teacher who keeps the pace up but still keeps it reasonable in terms of difficulty is really hard to find. She does a great job of explaining little detail things in terms I (as a musically challenged human) can understand. I'm having a blast! 10/10 would recommend!
Review by William Klepatsky
Very knowledgeable on every aspect of music theory. I listen to recording artists playing various classical pieces, Dan's playing is much like a recording artist's playing. Always on time. Winning happy personality, a great role model. Puts me at ease when I am playing. Have two friends who hold music degrees, I count him a third, something special about the minds and personalities of good pianists. Thanks Dan.

"Richard is a very talented and a patient teacher. He teaches my 6 year old daughter in the comfort of our home and he is very regular. He follows a learning book and mixes his lessons to bring difficulty and technicality while keeping it interesting for my daughter. My daughter was difficult to work with at the beginning but he was able motivate her in every possible way. As a parent I make an effort to learn with my daughter so that when my daughter practices I am able to guide and correct her and Richard is very generous to take the time to give provide me concepts. I am extremely happy with Richard and his ability to teach children."

I was skeptical at first not knowing what I was getting my self into.. I am very happy that I forced myself to get into voice lessons because Eli is an awsome voice coach.. Very skillful and he helps you reach the goal you are trying to reach.. He is also very helpful with getting you to open up and come out of your shell and being heard.. I would and I already have recommended friends and family to sign up with Eli if they're serious about singing..

My son enjoys his viola lesson each week with Martina. She is disciplined in her approach to teaching but always makes my son's learning experience enjoyable. She knows how to challenge him and develop excellent form. Martina is always punctual and professional. We both highly recommend her as an instructor.
Review by Richardpoplawski
I feel she is a very professional teacher and I have already recommended your company and her to my friends who have children that play musical instruments. My 8 year old son has never been so enthusiastic to play his violin. His skills have improved almost exponentially since we have began lessons with Lauren. Your company has exceeded my expectations and I am very happy to have found it online.

The Escape RoomRead MoreIn a haunted house, the scares usually come from actors in chintzy costumes jumping around corners or offering you expired milk. But at The Escape room, they rely on a well-plotted backstory, realistic acting, and legitimately horrifying scenarios. A coworker who becomes infected and bursts into an erratic fit, a doctor who doesn't seem to have your best interest in mind, a facility placed on lock-down, these all set the stage for the slow-burning terror. The Escape Room is so invested in their stories, that every room comes with its own prequel, which contestants read before matching wits with the room. From there, the grisly narrative unfolds, and they must work together to solve puzzles and riddles to ultimately escape. The current room–The Infected Room–is part two of the Zombie Apocalypse Trilogy. It is the prequel story to the wildly successful Zombie Room, and shows how it all started. The question is–can you stop it from ever happening.2101 Peters Creek ParkwayWinston Salem, NC US

In third quarter 2014, we added a large overseas customer for private label products.

Orchids amaze at Shepparton-based Country Challenge
Hundreds of people came to admire the floral displays at this year's Country Challenge Orchid Show at Shepparton's McIntosh Centre.ESTELLE GRIEPINK July 8, 2014 3:37am
Goulburn Valley Orchid Club president Malcolm Campbell at the Country Challenge Orchid Show on Sunday.
Stunning floral displays from orchid clubs across country Victoria drew more than 800 people to Shepparton's McIntosh Centre at the weekend.
The Country Challenge Orchid Show is an annual competition 11 competing orchid clubs host in rotation.
Goulburn Valley Orchid Club secretary Brenda Wise said the club had been excited to have the competition in Shepparton.
''It wasn't like our normal shows, this is something that can happen once every 10 years and you have to be invited by the committee to do it,'' Mrs Wise said.
''It turned out really, really successfully and the committee were very impressed with it.''
Mrs Wise said the club had been pleased to see hundreds of people through the doors during the two-day event.
But she said the icing on the cake was winning the perpetual trophy for the best stand.
''The show was magnificent and to top it off we won the trophy and that's what the competition is all about, trying to win this trophy,'' Mrs Wise said.
