How to Add 7ths to the Major Scale Chords on the Guitar
You begin playing new chords on the guitar by adding 7ths to major scale chords. Adding 7ths is a good place to start because it's in keeping with the consecutive 3rds formula that triads follow (1-3-5-7 are all consecutive 3rds).
Plus, you can easily add 7ths without needing to suspend a 3rd or interfere with the rest of the triad. Using the G major scale and its basic triads as a starting place, you add a 7th to each chord by counting up seven from each scale degree.
Here are seven diagrams, all with the same notes from the G major scale. Each diagram counts from a different starting point so you can see the 7th of each scale degree. Starting points and 7ths are shown in black. The starting points are the roots to each triad/chord in the scale. You add the 7ths to the basic triads to create 7th chords.
A 7th is a 3rd above a 5th and keeps with the 3rds sequence used to build the basic triads. In the major scale, counting 1-2-3 is a 3rd, but so are 3-4-5 and 5-6-7. In all, you build a 7th chord by using the intervals 1-3-5-7, which are all a 3rd apart.
There are two types of 7th intervals. One type — the major 7th — is almost an octave, missing it by just a half step and named after the type of 7th that occurs in the major scale. You see major 7ths on G and C in here.
The other type — a minor or f7th — misses the octave by a whole step and is named by the type of 7th that occurs in a minor scale. You see minor 7ths on A, B, D, and E.
Here is what the basic major and minor triads in G look like after you add 7ths to create 7th chords. The notations in parentheses illustrate the most common ways to write the chord names.
G: 1-3-5-7, G-B-D-Fs, G major 7 (Gmaj7, GM7, G)
A: 1-f3-5-f7, A-C-E-G, A minor 7 (Amin7, Am7, A-7)
B: 1-f3-5-f7, B-D-Fs-A, B minor 7 (Bmin7, Bm7, B-7)
C: 1-3-5-7, C-E-G-B, C major 7 (Cmaj7, CM7, C)
D: 1-3-5-f7, D-Fs-A-C, D dominant 7 (D7)
E: 1-f3-5-f7, E-B-G-D, E minor 7 (Emin7, Em7, E-7)
Fs: 1-f3-f5-f7, Fs-A-C-E, Fs minor 7f5, half diminished 7th (Fsmin7f5, Fsm7f5, Fs-7f5, Fs')
When you add the 7ths in the preceding list to standard major and minor barre chords, you get the new chord shapes shown in here.
You can see this at 7th Chords in G.
In this example the numbers represent intervals, which are important to look at so that you see how each chord shape is constructed. You're on your own to work out fingerings, but your fingers will easily fall into place with these chord shapes. Try playing forward and backward through the scale with 7th chords.
You can also play through 7th chords in the open position, as shown here. Again, the numbers represent intervals. Work out your own fingerings.
The 7th chord sequence in the G major scale is the same in all major scales. All major scales naturally produce maj7 chords on their 1st degrees, m7 chords on their 2nd degrees, and so on.
Here are tabs with 7th chords in the keys of A, C, and D. With each key, you get to know some new 7th chord shapes. In most cases, you can figure out where the 7th is in each shape by playing the regular major or minor form first, then switching to the 7th chord.
The new note that's added to make the chord shape a 7th is the 7th! You can move these shapes away from the open position and use them as full or partial barre chords to play 7th chords for other notes around the fretboard.

The pancreatic progenitor cells are the common ancestor of all the pancreatic cell types including the duct, exocrine and endocrine cells. The progenitor cells of the dorsal pancreatic bud will give rise to the cells of the neck, body, tail and parts of the head of the mature pancreas. Initially located at diverse locations throughout the pancreatic tissue, these cells become localized to "tip" locations of the developing acinar-duct morphology, and are then called multipotent tip cells, where they retain their broad differentiation potential, although there are indications that later in development, they lose the ability to become duct cells.

Q. I've noticed a lot more robins staying in my area during the winter in recent years. Why do some stay and some fly south?
A. Food availability is probably the major factor influencing the number of American robins that overwinter in an area, said Steve Kelling, a developer of BirdSource, a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society. Heavy snow and ice also may play an important role, limiting the fruits and berries that the robins depend on during winter and early spring, said Kelling, director of information science at the lab.
For example, a comparison of maps of snow-covered areas in January and February 1999 with maps showing the reports of robins during the Great Backyard Bird Count of Feb. 19-22, 1999, clearly showed a sharp decrease in reports in areas where there was snow cover.
A similar comparison for the western Great Lakes region found only three reports of robins in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan where snow cover exceeded 5 inches, while some areas with less cover had many more robins, even flocks of up to 1,200.
Interestingly, in metropolitan areas like Minneapolis-St. Paul and Detroit, many robins did overwinter that year, because ornamental fruit trees like hawthorns and mountain ash provided a generous food supply.
Does being colder mean growing older?
Q. Does a lower body temperature mean a longer life?
A. Some studies show a correlation between lower body temperatures and greater longevity, though there is no proof of a cause-and-effect relationship in humans.
A large study published in 2011 in The Journals of Gerontology compared the ages and body temperatures of 18,630 people, ages 20 to 98, who had oral temperature readings as part of a standardized health appraisal at a health maintenance organization.
Mean temperature decreased with age, with a difference of 0.3 degrees Fahrenheit between the oldest and youngest groups, even after controlling for sex, body mass index and white-blood-cell count.
"The results are consistent with low body temperature as a biomarker for longevity," the researchers concluded. As for possible reasons for such results, they suggested identifying genetic influences on body temperature and examining the effect of body temperature on multiple cellular processes.

Researchers have called on physicians and dentists to work together in order to improve the early detection and treatment of osteoporosis.Writing in the Journal of the American Dental Association, the team noted that the medical management of osteoporosis includes diet control, exercise, discontinuation of tobacco and alcohol intake and use of medications including bisphosphonates, which have been associated with the development of osteocrosis of the jaw.A research team at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry recently announced that they have found a link between bisphosphonates and 'bone death' (osteonecrosis) in the jaw.Lead researcher Parish Sedghizadeh stated that microbial biofilms are causing jaw tissue infections in patients taking bisphosphonate drugs, usually after a tooth extraction or injury when the bone is exposed.However, the article in the American Dental Association's journal suggests that changes to bisphosphonate therapy should be made only after consultation with the patient's physician."Dentists need to understand osteoporosis, its treatments and its complications to provide adequate care," it stated.The study also found that osteoporosis and related fractures are more common than coronary disease, stroke and breast cancer, indicating that dentists should be made more aware of the disease in same way they are other serious illnesses.

LOL! We are still SO CLUELESS! Basically like Bode MIller the skiier.
I can't say we're going to use it it's simply a name that I DON'T hate, LOL!
What do you all think of it? Cute? Weird?
I should add, I don't like Brody, I used to but every time I say it a little kid says "Grody Brody". That's not good.
I dunno, we are SO LOST on what to name this boy. At this point I'd just like some ideas and every idea I have it seems people have a reason for hating. (Reid, Brody, Levi, Drew, Toby are all names I've considered but more people than not seem to dislike them!)

Hi everybody!Hope you had a great week! Thanks for voting for us!I think Hope was amazing on Monday. It was probably a little more than I expected because she was a little distracted the last couple of games and her commitment to the national team, but she pulled it together and it was perfect. It clicked. I'm very happy about our score. It was exactly what I wanted. I like the three 7s. I wanted to be in the middle of the pack, but I didn't expect 21 to be second from the top, so it was a pleasant surprise.I thought the scores overall were good. I think it's one of the more even first performances we've had. We don't have a ringer or somebody who's a professional dancer this season and the judges didn't go overboard with their scoring. I think this season is anybody's for the taking. I really think that there are probably four people I see at the end. I definitely think that Hope has the potential. She has the ability to go all the way. I'm hoping that we just keep clicking and keep doing the right things. I think the combination of my pushy personality and her ability to take the rehearsal "punishment" the right way and not get, I guess, offended is what's going to keep us in the game.I'm honestly not listening to Bruno's comment about her shoulders. She's a goalkeeper and she's the best goalkeeper on the planet. To be the best goalkeeper on the planet, you have to have the body type of a goalkeeper. When you have Bruno tell her that she's too masculine, then that's all it's going to be. We're working on camouflaging things and making her look the best she could possibly look, but I will not change her physique as a goalkeeper. When this is over, she's going to go back and defend the United States' Olympic gold medal and try to get another one. She's a huge part of that team's success and I would be an idiot to try to get her out of goalkeeper shape. My job is to figure out how to make her an amazing dancer without making her less of an amazing goalkeeper. We started the jive prior to the premiere, so we should be good. I'm very happy about the way it's going right now. I think the biggest challenge with Hope is not just learning the routine, but she needs to learn how to act it out. I know she's not used to acting and faking it — which is what acting is. I want her to know it's not bad faking it, like you're not being true to yourself. It's part of a performance. If you want to be the best at it, then you have to do certain things to make you the best at it. Acting is part of it.I thought everyone did great this week. I'm super happy for Val. Congratulations to him for his debut! I was worried about him and Elisabetta. She's awesome, but she did get a little stiff. Hopefully she will take all the positive things out of this show and use it to her advantage in the second week. I think the quickstep will be a better dance for them and they'll both learn from the first week. I think Val has a difficult job because Elisabetta is fairly new to this country. Fan base-wise, they'll probably have a more difficult time. Everybody else on the show has a following here. I went on a campaign Monday night to rally some of my troops to help Val and Elisabetta out and I'm extremely grateful because I think they did a tremendous job keeping both of us on the show. Obviously, I'm first and foremost focused on Hope, but the longer Val stays, the more fun we'll have. I just want to enjoy the process. I think if audiences embrace her and give her a chance, they will see a lot of growth. Having said that, it's also a matter of how well they do and how they sparkle and shine. I think they have potential. Val is phenomenal. I'm his biggest fan. They did an awesome routine. I thought the bed idea was hilarious. I loved his respond to Tom Tuesday: "I just wanted to take my shirt off and get in bed." I love it!Carson's performance was also great. He's very cool. He's a bit partial toward me and I gave him a shoulder rub. He's just perfect for this show. He's super funny, very witty, very clever, very entertaining, and what else do you need from a celebrity on Dancing with the Stars? You want a celebrity who's secure with themselves, is not afraid to put up a performance, has performing qualities, and does their own thing. And that's him. I'm not going to lie — and this may come off as me patting myself on the back — but I'm flattered because you have Nancy Grace going, "You're not Maks," to Tristan and Carson talking about me, and I'm so honored by that. It really does make me feel like dance is making it higher and higher. I'm still true to my trade. I'm not trying to be the center of attention at all, and I think getting recognized by such people like these is a huge responsibility, but also a huge honor. I'm blessed and having fun.I think Tony and Chynna did a wonderful job as well. They're a perfect partnership. Chynna was incredible. She might be one of the best girls on the show. Tony's an amazing teacher and I'm pulling for them to make it all the way too. I'm very happy for them.I think overall the Dance with Me family has done amazingly. Half the troupe is made of us alums. We've taken over the show a bit, so L.A. is a lot more fun now! I'm enjoying it!That's all for now. Maks

Higher Education News & Reports
Central New Mexico Community College serves a vital role in its community and does so within the larger context of higher education in America. This is a dynamic context, always evolving, and CNM strives to fulfill its mission and vision by working at the forefront of a changing field.
Below are articles and reports helping explore and document the changing world of academia with an emphasis on community college education. Follow this page for regular updates.
Skills beyond School: Synthesis Report (Dec. 2014)
A recent US projection is that nearly one-third of job vacancies by 2018 will require some post-secondary qualification but less than a four-year degree (Carnevale, Smith and Strohl, 2010). The aim of this OECD study … is to cast light on this world, as it is large, dynamic, and of key importance to country skill systems. — A report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
[ OECD (2014), Skills Beyond School: Synthesis Report, OECD Reviews of Vocational Education and Training, OECD Publishing. http//dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264214682-en ]
College kids' homeless hell: Why a secret, massive crisis is getting even worse (11-17-14)
Over 56,000 college students were homeless in 2013. As of early August, almost 46,000 college students declared homelessness for this year. — by Matthew Saccaro, for Salon
Are colleges doing unnecessary – and expensive – remediation? (11-12-14)
"Our analysis indicated that a quarter to a third of students assigned to remedial classes based on standardized test scores could have passed college-level classes with a grade of B or better." — by Judith Scott-Clayton, for Policy Analysis for California Education
Weathering the Economic Storm: Chief Financial Officers on Building a Sustainable Future for Higher Education (September 2014)
The new Chronicle of Higher Education report, Weathering the Economic Storm, reveals that nearly half of the institutions surveyed fell below target enrollment.
- More than 50% say higher ed is moving in the wrong direction and agree change is needed.
- ⅓ would increase teaching loads, while only 11% would increase tuition to cut costs or increase revenue.
- 34% rate their quality of data as below average or extremely poor. They want better data to make financial decisions.
College by the Numbers: A Statistical Look at College Costs, Financial Aid and More (9-21-14)
Here is a look at some of the numbers affecting students and their families. — by Cristina Lourosa-Ricardo, for Wall Street Journal
In Quest for Success, Colleges Ask: What's Working? (9-15-14)
Constant measurement is essential, Ms. Cleary says. The average community-college student takes five years to complete his or her two-year degree, she notes. "We can't wait five years to see if our changes are working." — by Libby Sander, for Chronicle of Higher Education
Is a Degree Still Worth It? Yes, Researchers Say, and the Payoff Is Getting Better (9-5-14)
According to "a study released on Tuesday by two researchers with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York concludes the opposite is true: The value of a bachelor's degree is near an all-time high ... [T]the wages students forgo while attending colleges—the "opportunity cost"—are lower than they used to be, and the average wages for those who don't have a college degree keeps falling. Even though the wages for college graduates are not increasing, the gap between their pay and earnings of those with only a high-school diploma has increased, keeping the value of a college degree from falling. — by Lance Lambert for Chronicle of Higher Education
Confuse Students to Help Them Learn (8-14-14)
But when Mr. Muller analyzed the results of tests he administered to the students before and after showing them the videos, he noticed something odd: The students who had watched the more confusing videos learned more. — by Steve Kolowich, for Chronicle of Higher Education
Educating Nontraditional Students (8-14)
A compilation of articles from Inside Higher Ed
Building a Better College Ranking System. Wait, Babson Beats Harvard? (7-28-14)
At its best, higher education does more than train people for jobs. College should clarify the mind and enlighten the soul. But colleges also expect to be paid in dollars, and you can't provide evidence of enlightenment in lieu of installments on your student loans. — by Kevin Carey, for New York Times
Are Courses Outdated? MIT Considers Offering 'Modules' Instead (8-5-14)
People now buy songs, not albums. They read articles, not newspapers. So why not mix and match learning "modules" rather than lock into 12-week university courses? That question is a major theme of a 213-page report released on Monday by a committee at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. — by Jeffrey R. Young, for Chronicle of Higher Education
The Hidden Curriculum (8-4-14)
The hidden curriculum, Smith writes, consists of the "norms, values, and expectations" that govern interactions among students, faculty, staff and administrators. To excel in college, at-risk students must navigate a world of new social norms – typically those of the white middle class, she argues. — by Charlie Tyson, for Inside Higher Ed
A Focus on Specific Dropouts Can Help Colleges Raise Completion Rate (7-30-13)
College dropouts who came close to graduating but didn't quite finish could be a key target for higher-education institutions that are under the gun to improve their completion rates, according to a report released on Tuesday by the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. — by Katherine Mangan for Chronicle of Higher Education
Report: Work-Study Students More Likely to Graduate (7-29-14)
Students who participate in the federal work-study program are more likely to graduate and be employed six years after college than their similar counterparts who don't participate in the program, according to a new study. — News Brief, Inside higher Ed
Late Fafsa Filers Receive Less Student Aid, Report Says (7-9-14)

Even Middle-Class Students Have Poor Odds of Graduating From College (5-29-14)
Among students who scored between 1000 and 1200 on their SAT's out of 1600, undergrads from families in the top income quartile had roughly a two-in-three chance of finishing their bachelor's degree. Students from the lowest quartile had about a one-in-six chance. — by Jordan Weissmann, for Slate
Applying for Aid May Be a Barrier for Returning Students, Too (5-21-14)
Community-college students, in particular, may have work and family obligations on top of classwork. They might not be as plugged in with fellow students who might remind them to file. And their colleges probably have fewer resources to help them out. — by Beckie Supiano, for Chronicle of Higher Education
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow? Investigating Rates and Patterns of Financial Aid Renewal Among College Freshmen — by Kelli Bird & Benjamin L. Castleman, Ed Policy Works/University of Virginia
What the 6 Types of Prospective College Students Are Looking For (5-19-14)
Parthenon surveyed 3,200 prospective and current college students across different age groups. Analyzing the results, the firm identified six major segments of the student market, the first three on the younger side and the latter three generally older. — by Taylor Harvey, for Chronicle of Higher Education

A Caring Professor May Be Key in How a Graduate Thrives (5-6-14)
We have a formula here for something that alters life and career trajectory ... These are pretty specific things that we can think about how we move the needle. — by Scott Carlson, for Chronicle of higher Education
Google Disables Scanning of Student Email for Advertising Purposes (5-1-14)
We've permanently removed all ad scanning in Gmail for Apps for Education, which means Google cannot collect or use student data in Apps for Education services for advertising purposes. — by Steve Kolowich, for Chronicle of Higher Education
What Enhanced E-Books Can Do for Scholarly Authors (4-25-14)

Public Sees College as More Than Just Job Preparation, Report Says (4-23-14)
Rhetoric from policy makers may focus on the need to ensure that college graduates are competitive in the workplace, but students, faculty members, and others engaged in higher education take a more expansive view of the value of a degree, a new report from the Kettering Foundation and the National Issues Forums Institute suggests. — by Karin Fisher, for Chronicle of higher Education
Divided We Fail: Why It's Time for a Broader, More Inclusive Conversation on the Future of Higher Education — A Final Report on the 2013 National Issues Forums, Prepared for the Kettering Foundation by Public Agenda
Community Colleges Can Foster Student Success by Supporting Their Adjuncts (4-7-14)
With the stakes so high when it comes to student success, the report says, community colleges have a real incentive to change the environment in which part-time instructors work. The report suggests that community colleges have conversations about how to support adjunct faculty members, include them in discussions, create clear pathways to full-time employment, and recognize part-timers' accomplishment with additional pay when possible. — by Audrey Williams June, for Chronicle of Higher Education

A Special Report from the Center for Community College Student Engagement
The Community College Route to the Bachelor's Degree (March 2014)

Monaghan and Paul Attewell, The Graduate Center of the City University of New York

An Era of Neglect: How public colleges were crowded out, beaten up, and failed to fight back (3-3-14)

Report, from American Association of Community Colleges

Entegris Acquires Jetalon Solutions, Inc.
BILLERICA, Mass., April 10, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entegris, Inc.

Jetalon's unique technology expands our fluid sensing and control offering and adds to our existing capabilities for creating innovative and differentiated solutions to improve our customers' process control capability and manufacturing yields not only in semiconductor applications, but in life sciences and other industries as well."Dr. Ron Chiarello, president and CEO of Jetalon Solutions, said: "This combination should benefit our respective companies and shareholders, as well as our combined customers who will be able to leverage future technology innovations for achieving higher yields and reduced costs in their manufacturing operations. We are very pleased to be part of the Entegris team and look forward to working with them to scale our solutions in both established and new markets."

In this article you will find all news and all information you need about My Little Farmies Hack v5.2.
Game Review:
My little Farmies is a medieval themed farming browser MMO developed and revealed by Upjers. Ploughing the fields, taking care of crops, tending to an outsized sort of cattle, exploitation harvested resources to supply product and building a village around your farm ar just some of My little Farmies fun activities. Farmies ar voters that live and work on a farm and they ar particularly interested in nice looking villages. certify to require logistics into thought when moving buildings round the village because farmies use ways to urge from one place to a different. functional buildings and process facilities should definitely have priority over ornamental things.Farm business may sound boring but My little Farmies has millions of options and players can discover that a virtual farmer's life isn't dull in the slightest degree. High level players ar allowed to rent farmies NPCs (farmhands and maids) to help them with chores but beginning farmers have a lot on their hands. My little Farmies leveling up is a process kind of like most MMORPG games, it's supported completing tasks and getting XP. Thalers ar medieval impressed currency obtained as a present from quests and different game activities but to be rich farmer you must do over basic operation like planting and harvest home.
Raw materials can be reworked into processed product that ar costlier and produce you a nice profit. for instance, cereals ar harvested, transported to the mill and grinded into flour that is then used at the bakery; apples or plums ar picked up from trees and squeezed into fruit juice; milk is used at the dairy industrial plant.
Farms can be enlarged and that means that more space for crops, a lot of product to sell at the marketplace and a lot of thalers. Some crops and merchandise have level constraints and ar offered only to high level players. If you have got a kitchen, you'll even cook some deliciously wanting foods.
Production lines ar an awfully necessary My little Farmies feature and players got to learn that basic materials and product ar a lot of profitable. commercialism with different players is just as necessary thus have a carriage station (the necessary facility for trading) up and running as presently as potential.

Dumbest of This Week's 5 Dumbest: Sony Makes World Safe for Hackers
TheStreet) --
(SNE) massive security breach was considered the dumbest thing on Wall Street this week by readers of
As of late Friday, about 34% of the 237 readers that took our poll thought that Sony's Swiss-cheese security system was particularly dumb.
This week, it was revealed that hackers gained access to yet another 24.6 million accounts, at least 12,700 non-U.S. credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (although not the 3-digit security code on the back of credit cards), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain.
The latest reported breach took place in the Sony Online Entertainment division -- which makes multiplayer online games including Free Realms and DC Universe Online -- and was directly tied to the infiltration of Sony's online PlayStation Network that the company copped to just a week ago and put roughly 77 million users' account information in jeopardy.Sony hasn't exactly given PlayStation 3 users much confidence in the company's ability to keep information safe anytime soon. In fact, security expert Dr. Gene Spafford of Purdue University testified against Sony during a meeting of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade on Wednesday. He explained that not only was Sony using outdated versions of Apache Web server software that were "unpatched and had no firewall installed," but that the problem was "reported in an open forum monitored by Sony employees" two to three months before the security breaches. Sony claims the breach and the service outages that followed have cost the company upwards of $20 million. Gamers who've spent the last week calling credit agencies, cutting up credit cards and changing passwords surely don't feel much sympathy, especially in light of Sony's lax security.

A few weeks ago, on a chilly Thursday evening, Chris Shabel, a gray-haired woman with a quick smile, slowly shuffled into Studio 3 at the old CBS TV-and-radio complex at 6121 Sunset Boulevard, with the help of a high-end stroller that doubled as a portable chair. Over the years, the longtime Hollywood community activist has survived five heart attacks, two strokes and countless numbers of boring cocktail parties thrown by real estate developers who hoped free gin-and-tonics would win her allegiance.

Loose-tongued: Though often ill, persistent activist Chris Shabel is seen as dangerous at City Hall

Council President Garcetti: "I haven't, in public or private, supported the project."
Tonight's invite-only affair was no different, although the money men and their assistants kept a tense distance from her — even at 74, Shabel has the reputation of a troublemaker who defends against the push and roll of big developers by leaking embarrassing stories to the press.
Shabel, dressed in a black jacket and red blouse, stopped shuffling and took a seat on her stroller in the middle of the studio, which had recently served as the living room for the starry-eyed cast of MTV's Real World Hollywood. All of the sleek furniture and doodads were gone. Instead, several easels propped up poster-size drawings of a reportedly $850 million project at the site where Shabel now enjoyed a cocktail — the abandoned West Coast home of CBS, also known as Columbia Square. In the corner stood a balsam-wood model of the future, but no one was allowed to take pictures of it.
Shabel was soon joined by other neighborhood people, dressed up in jackets and ties and evening dresses. Some of them greeted her, shared a few stories and ate fancy concoctions wrapped in bacon as they stared at the modernist artist's renderings of a 40-story skyscraper and 14-story office tower with spotlights piercing the Hollywood sky.
"I've always found," Shabel said at one point, with her slight British accent, "that if you have a cocktail party before the project is completed, it usually spells trouble. Almost none of them end up going through."
Shabel giggled at her own time-tested wisdom and looked around the room, as if hoping the developers and their small army of consultants had heard her soft-spoken warning.
Apparently, they didn't. Mark Cassidy, president of Molasky Pacific, one of the Las Vegas–based developers of the proposed megatower at Columbia Square, continued schmoozing with various important-looking men, and his hired guns kept shaking hands. It was a night of reintroduction, after all, to remind a few dozen selected guests that the deep-pocketed folks behind the quiet plan for Hollywood's first true skyscraper, and by far the area's tallest structure ever, had not gone away.
If everything went according to plan, Columbia Square would be the largest and most expensive mixed-use project ever in the area. And much of the groundwork and lobbying would be over long before the general public heard a thing about it.
In keeping with the underground nature of the towering project, which would forever alter the skyline and obscure the Hollywood sign for thousands of people, the official Web site for Columbia Square — 6121sunset.com — says almost nothing, other than hailing the plan as "a classic Hollywood landmark updated for the 21st century." A few futuristic drawings are posted, and there's a standard mission statement of sorts, but the "project facts" section is gibberish, an alien code not intended to encourage civic debate.
Molasky Pacific and its partner, Apollo Real Estate Advisors, obviously want it this way. In Los Angeles, where developers have long held sway over a 15-member City Council that rarely says no to massive new projects, it is key to keep the public out of it as long as is legally possible. And it's why loose-tongued people like Chris Shabel can be dangerous — secret, ugly truths may rile the public and stir up political problems for the council members, each of whom oversees one of 15 separate, incredibly influential fiefdoms and who all but control the lay of the land.
The skyscraper's developer, Mark Cassidy, suddenly withdrew from a scheduled interview with the L.A. Weekly, thought better of that, and set it up again — then called it off for a second
time. No reason was offered, but the timing of the events coincided with his discovery that Shabel was talking to the Weekly. (Cassidy, however, chatted with me for a few moments at the cocktail party, with both his lawyer and his flack close by.)

Diversified British healthcare company, GlaxoSmithKline PLC successfully acquired 24.33% in its Indian subsidiary GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals (GSK Pharma) from public shareholders via a voluntary open offer, helping the parent company raise its stake to 75%.
The R6,389 crore-buyback was subscribed nearly 1.13 times, sources said. More than 2.32 crore shares were tendered by shareholders, a majority of which were retail investors, against the proposal to buy 2.06 crore shares � at a price of R3,100 per share. The offer was solely managed by HSBC Securities and Capital Markets (India).
The acquisition further increases GSK PLC�s exposure in a strategically important and highly-populated market like India. The British healthcare conglomerate intends to keep its Indian subsidiary listed on the stock exchanges, the company said in an exchange filing, citing �future growth prospects� as well as �GSK�s long-standing commitment to the country�.
Even as long-term growth looks positive, analysts said that a majority of retail and minority shareholders were compelled to tender shares due to earnings contraction in CY13, a weaker outlook for CY14, and high valuations compelled amid expectation the stock may witness a sharp correction after the conclusion of the offer.
Many domestic and foreign analysts foresee the stock to test pre-offer levels. Of the total 24 analysts polled by Bloomberg, 14 have a �sell� rating on the stock, seven have a �hold� rating, and one has a �buy� rating on the stock. GSK Pharma trades at 37 times price-to-earnings CY14e, according to Bloomberg. In CY13, the stock gained 40% vis-a-vis 6% gains of Nifty, and 22% gains of BSE Healthcare.
Meanwhile, GSK shares declined for the fifth consecutive session on Monday. The stock ended at R2,509.80, down 5.27% (R139.50). During Monday�s trading, the stock touched a three-month low of R2,491.05. GSK shares have already declined nearly 18% in the last five sessions after touching a life-time high of R3054.40 on the BSE � in the aftermath of the open offer.
The potential recovery in growth and margins in CY14 are already built into our estimates, said IndiaInfoline Institutional Equities� analyst Bino Pathiparampil. �The (GSK Pharma) stock trades at 48.8x CY14ii core earnings at an unjustifiably high premium to domestic pharma companies at 18-24x forward earnings,� Pathiparampil said in his research note.
GSK Pharma reported CY13 net sales at R640 crore, down 3.8% y-o-y due to sharp cut in prices, supply constraints and trade disruptions. Margins declined to 10 percentage points to 21% due to rupee depreciation

You may have had an experience with videography or two, albeit non-professionally. Maybe you have a friend or relative who asked you to shoot their wedding. You did well, and now more friends are asking you to shoot theirs as well. You find that there's actually a big market for you in the industry. In the photography industry where it's already full of competition, going into the new and growing freelance wedding videography industry might be a good idea.
Yes, venturing into wedding videography is a smart choice for enterprising creative people. But there are several things you need to research before you put a price for your services. You need to invest in a lot of time for research, preparation and experience. Obviously, you need a few things to get you started.
The Right Equipment
There's both good news and bad news already for those who want to enter the field of wedding videography. Good news is, video equipment is now very affordable and accessible to everyone. It's easier to get into the industry than it was five or ten years ago. Bad news is, technology advances so fast that your video equipment can become obsolete fast. Thus, nowadays you will need more research to know which video equipment to invest in.
First off, you have to decide whether you want your videos to be cinematic or documentary with the final output. The cinematic look means you shoot it in widescreen, 16:9 ratio, rich colors, dramatic effects, steady, professional shots. Documentary wedding videos, on the other hand, offers a grittier, more amateur-ish effect, but doesn't require all the expensive and bulky equipment you need to shoot cinematic wedding videos.
Nowadays, you no longer need the bulky HD professional camera equipment to produce high quality wedding videos. Here is the list of the equipment you'll need to start videography:
1. Digital SLR Camera with Video Capabilities
Most videographers, film makers and even movie studios now employ SLR cameras with video capabilities to record footage. The best option is the Canon 5D Mark II.
You need at least two or three cameras in order to capture all the important video footage during the wedding. Of course, this does not mean that it is impossible to make a wedding video with one camera only. But this means you will only have limited footage to work with. For example, during the dress up of the bride and groom, you cannot shoot the dress up of the bride without compromising the opportunity to shoot of the groom because these events often take place simultaneously.
2. Appropriate Lens
Of course you need the appropriate lens to be able to capture all the right shots. You will need the following:
First, macro lens to capture close up shots of important wedding objects and symbols like the wedding rings, shoes, bouquet, just to name a few. Secondly, you need a wide angle lens to shoot wide shots like the reception venue, the cathedral, etc. Thirdly, you need mid-range lens to shoot the whole event. Make sure the lens can handle well with low light or indoor situations.
Stated above are the main purposes for these lens. As much as possible, do not use wide angle lens to shoot mid-range shots, or macro lens to shoot wide shots, and so on. However, among the best lens for videographers is the Canon 24-105 mm f/4. It can serve both wide, telephoto and mid-range purposes. You can shoot a wide scene as an establishing shot, and also zoom in to the bride and groom to capture the moment. The lens performs well in daylight situations, but also does pretty good in low light and nighttime situations with its wide aperture of 4.
3. Equipment for Stability
Of course you need equipment to deliver steady and professional-looking videos. With this you need a monopod and tripod to support the camera while video recording.
Other equipment you will need is the Glidecam. Monopods and tripods are great for steady shots, but you need the Glidecam to deliver a smooth and steady performance for moving shots, such as back and forth, side to side, or up and down.
4. Audio Equipment
Have a microphone and audio recorder to get the necessary audio for your wedding video. Of course, it is possible to make a wedding video without a mic and audio recorder– by simply overlapping the whole video with background music. The end result, however, is more of a music video than convey a story on what happened on the wedding day. Remember that the vows, candid comments, priest's sermons or the best man's toast add spice and interest to the viewers.
5. Lighting
During nighttime situations, it helps to have decent lighting equipment. Be sure to know what equipment to use though, as there are pros and cons when you use lighting for the occasion. Obviously having lighting provides a brighter and clearer shot, but may also blacken out the background. Another is that it can cause eye discomfort to guests and can heat up the room. Shooting without lighting can be beautiful, as it provides more candid and deliver a more natural ambiance. Just make sure to bring lighting when needed, but more often than not it's better to rely on whatever lighting is provided at the event.
The Right Footage
Be sure to be able to record the most important scenes or events of the wedding. Here is your checklist to make sure you have recorded all the right footage:
- Bride, bridesmaids, groom, groomsmen dress up
- Establishing shot of the church and the reception venue
- Entourage arriving and the bride's entrance
- The whole ceremony, plus reaction shots of the family and guests
- Vows and most importantly, 'the kiss'
- Leaving the church
- Arriving at the reception
- First dance, Dad's dance with bride
- Throwing of the cake, best man's toast, cutting of the cake
- Giveaways, decor, cake, etc.
- Guests saying their wishes and goodbyes
Master Different Types of Shots
Know the different kinds of camera shots.
Fast Editing to Meet Demanding Deadlines
In most cases you need to produce a short video of the events that happened on that day to show at the reception. This means you only have, more or less, five to six hours to edit everything. You have to think fast and edit on the spot. Thus, you will need a fast computer, preferably a laptop so that you can take it with you anywhere. The preferred choice of most photographers and videographers is the Macbook Pro, because its features are accessible for editing. The Mac OSX is also said to be more stable than its Windows counterpart.
There are several editing programs you can use to edit your footage, but the most popular for professionals are: Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas and Final Cut for Mac.
Finally, every wedding videographer needs to find inspiration. Look for inspiring, creative and one-of-a-kind wedding videos found online. You do not want to give the same video outputs and ideas all the time–a wedding videographer needs to play it up a bit. Play with the scenes, and the concept to make the video more fun and meaningful. Showing your wide range of portfolio shows that you are a multi-faceted and creative videographer.
Here are a few great wedding videos as inspiration:
Great wedding proposal, must see!!
About video: "My girlfriend Ginny gets taken to the movie theater to see "Fast Five". After a preview for the Hangover 2, a trailer for a movie comes on. A trailer I made of her father and I where I ask her father for her hand in marriage. After he gives me permission, I race off to the theater she is at to ask her to marry me.
What she doesn't know is our family and friends are in the theater with her watching the whole thing, along with about 100 strangers ;-)"
Not exactly a wedding video, but this is a prenup video, or a 'Save the Date' video. Creative scenes, unique concept and racy subject, the video caused quite a stir in the Philippines when it first came out.
