Every week, the Film Connection Film School receives dozens of honest reviews from our current film students and graduates. Regardless of location, one thing is consistent: our film students are getting what they paid for.
We understand that many of you want to be the next big film director or screenwriter. Make no mistake: that comes with time. The Film Connection is the perfect launching pad to help you realize your bigger dreams for filmmaking. You have to start somewhere. Why not start working where you live in a film company as a film apprentice (extern) today?
Our student success stories are indicative of the primary goal of the Film Connection Film Institute: the success of our students. Here's to your success!
Gordon Maniskas, Manchester, MA
Graduate Gordon Maniskas completed the Film Connection while living in Boston, Massachusetts and upon finishing the program and his spec screenplay, the aspiring filmmaker made the move to Los Angeles to pitch his film concept and jump into the film industry with both feet! Gordon's screenwriting mentor, Peter Foldy, was impressed with Gordon's script and his strong work ethic, so upon Gordon relocating to L.A., Foldy took Gordon to a couple of networking events and introduced him to a number of producers, screenwriters and directors.

Youp Zondag, Austin, TX
Film Connection apprentice (extern) Youp Zondag first came in contact with the Film Connection in Austin, Texas, by way of Holland: his family moved to the U.S. so Youp could pursue his dreams of a film career. After starting classes at The Art Institute of Houston, Youp soon left disillusioned because of the cost and the overall lack of direction he felt. Read More
Aaron Patrick Lenyear, Atlanta, GA
The next day at Los Angeles Center Studios, Lenyear met with producer Evan Astrowsky (Cabin Fever, Fanboys), script in hand, to talk about his film. During the meeting, Astrowsky gave Lenyear helpful advice and opinions about the tone of the script and possible markets where it might play well. They agreed together that "Sideline" would work well as a dark indie drama. Read More
Fabrice Murgia, San Diego, CA
"At the studio, Horacio (my mentor) is now assigning me the entire raw footage and trusting me with full content editing, selecting and adding soundtrack, and video editing (of course). I edit, generate, export, and send to clients (after he's approved it). I have also put together some promotional videos for his company to market services like aerial videography and corporate videos… good stuff!" Read More
Shameka Cole, Atlanta, GA
Dreams are quickly becoming a reality just a few months into the film program for Atlanta based film student Shameka Cole. During the month of June, Cole was able to direct her first music video in the great Atlanta area for local artist Tracy T of Maybach Music Group. Read More

Ian McCamant, Los Angeles, CA
This year has been an exciting one for Film Connection alumnus Ian McCamant. Not only did Ian relocate from the East Coast early in the year, but in his first week he was able to find a manager and score a sweet apartment in West Hollywood! For those unfamiliar with LA, that's where Quentin Tarantino got his start. Since February, Ian has been working with his new manager on preparing his scripts to pitch (and hopefully sell!) to Hollywood. Read More
Mike Dusenka, Los Angeles, CA
After taking on multiple positions for Dolce Film's latest music video "Take Me There" by Olivia Ooms, Film Connection apprentice (extern) Mike Dusenka had yet another great opportunity to assist on a behind-the-scenes documentary for mentors Daniel Lir and Bayou Bennett. He was even hired on as a lead editor! Mike moved to Los Angeles all the way from Minneapolis, MN in 2013! Since settling in, Mike has been offered a surplus of opportunities through both his mentors and through career services at Film Connection. Learn More
Madi Erion, Washougal, WA
Film Connection grad Madi Erion got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience the world of set-design here in Los Angeles, the headquarters of the Film Connection. Madi is an aspiring designer with a special concentration in the art of building sets. With the guiding hand of Mr. Jeff Kushon (set designer for Dexter, Showtime) Madi was granted an awesome behind the scenes tour of some of Hollywood's most famous prop houses as well as the Warner Bros. back lot. Read More
Dominic Matich, Rochester Hills, MI
As always, Film Connection delivers on its promise to give the student an experience they won't forget. I wanted to let you know about Britney Tobin because I have written you emails praising other employees and she definitely deserves one. Because of her, I was able to travel to New York, work with top filmmakers on three movies, gain editing experience along with promotional, production, finance, and basically any other experience you can have working with the director of the films.

Amie Austin, Dallas, TX
Perhaps seeing open wounds isn't commonplace for the average American, but for Amie Austin, that experience has followed her as she traversed career paths. A former nurse, Austin often found herself dealing with traumatic injuries; but now she finds herself creating them – for the silver screen. Read More
Brian Kemppainen, Atlanta, GA
Screenwriting is the first step to bringing any story to the film screen. Oftentimes the task of writing your first feature length screenplay can appear daunting! Film Connection student Brian Kemppainen had the opportunity to study under Ron Osborn, a professional Hollywood screenwriter whose credits include the Brad Pitt film Meet Joe Black and television credits such as The West Wing. Read More
Peter Chapman, Atlanta, GA
What does it take to become a working industry director? Film Connection student Peter Chapman knows if you can envision a story, then you hold the power to manifest it on the screen. However, there is one attribute that all films share, and that's the passion of their creator to bring a dream into a reality. Peter was about to find out nothing worth accomplishing is ever easy… Read More
Tyler Sloan, Dallas, TX
A few months ago, Tyler Sloan was watching YouTube videos, using PVC piping to build homemade film equipment and shooting homemade music videos. Fast-forward a couple months, and he is directing music videos for local rap artists and rock bands. Tyler has combined his own hard work and creative ability with the connections and one on one education the Film Connection…Read More
Ian McCamant, Elkton, MD
In his overall experience working with his mentors, Ian has learned everything about film theory tempered with the tangible, hands-on aspects and technical camera work. Together, they have taken on all of the business aspects of putting together a feature film down to the budgeting of his zombie film. Check out a scene from Ian's movie, "The End of History."

Sarah Birk, Nashville, TN
Sarah is a newer student to the Film Connection, but she is making tremendous strides towards her goals. So we decided it was time to have a chat with her to discuss what she has been working on and what she is planning next. Read More
Chelsy Jensen, New York, NY
"The first couple weeks, he (my mentor) had me right away building my website, getting business cards, connecting me with some people through email so that was a great opportunity and then he had me reading scripts, and then once I found the script that I felt really strongly about, I contacted Tom, my mentor, we wrote up an auction, we had a couple of writers sign up, and then from there I was posting jobs on Craigslist, on any website that I could find, and he actually had another director that he had worked with so we interviewed with a couple directors…" Read More
Korey Hehn, Princeville, OR
"Right after I graduated from the Film Connection, I went to Colorado to work on a series a web series. I was the script supervisor for that and I did hair and makeup as well. It was a pretty small crew and small cast, but it was super fun, and I got a feel for what it was like to be on a film or on a TV series…" Read More
Stephen Blanquie, Portland, OR
We asked Stephen Blanquie, a recent graduate of the Film Connection in Portland, OR, to share what he is doing now that his lessons in the studio are over. Read More
Celisa Meals, Denton, TX
Congratulations to Celisa Meals! After completing her apprenticeship (externship) with the Film Connection, her mentor hired her to join a project with his production company! Read in her own words about her experience and the steps she took to secure this opportunity. Read More
Korey Hehn, Princeville, Oregon
"As a young girl, I have also always wanted to be a writer. So as I worked my way through high school, I really tried to figure out what I was going to do with my life, coming to the realization that I really wanted to be a part of making movies. You see, films have such a profound impact on the people who watch them: Even if a person does not like the movie they happen to watch, they will always remember at least little pieces of it because of the undeniable ability of moving pictures to permeate thoughts." Read More
Janna Russell, Atlanta, Georgia
"Once I joined the Film Connection program, everything for me really took off. Before I knew it, and was even a graduate of the program, I had already begun building my resume filled with production experience for several music videos, as well as actually have been paid for my work as a production coordinator! The exposure during the Film Connection course of the apprenticeship (externship) and the knowledge I acquired is invaluable. I would not have had the same experience in the classroom alone." Read More
Austin Willard, Brooklyn, New York
"The studio hired me after I graduated the Film Connection. I was hired on as Production Manager/Studio Manager. I work every day and was fortunate enough to work many more shoots. I am booking green screen rentals and showing our facilities to clients. I also work as a Producer on two commercial short films, along with Production Manager for many others. I am still with the studio, and also doing freelance work as a Production Manager and as a Grip." Read More
Charla Mascagni, New Orleans, LA
"The Film Connection provides me an affordable opportunity to work in a hands-on environment with my very own MENTOR, while offering me the flexibility to work around my job schedule! I have to admit at first, I was a little skeptical because I didn't know what to expect. However, after meeting my mentor and going to my first television series film shoot, I knew I was on the right track and had made the right decision for my career." Read More
Derek Sorenson, Albuquerque, New Mexico
"I have learned a multitude of skills while under my mentor's tutelage. It started with how to utilize lighting and work a studio camera. I moved on to understanding how to set up and take the correct shots. I have also been honing my editing skills with Final Cut Pro under a professional whose expertise is editing. My mentor and I have developed a positive relationship in and outside of work. Not only have I gone on several shoots with my mentor, but he also has me actively working in his video business." Read More
Gerald Vogt, Colorado Springs, Colorado
"Once I made the decision to the join the Film Connection, I jumped right on in. The first course I took within the Film Connection was specifically to focus on editing. My training really developed my skills in both sides of the production by tying both pre-production and post-production together. As the course continued, I began to see my skills really start to take shape, with my mentor pushing me in directions that made me stronger. Also, on the places where I was weaker, they really helped me out. Anytime I had questions, I would go back to my curriculum assigned through the program, and there the answer was…" Read More
Trent Jones, Austin, Texas
"While in the Film Connection program, I have had some great help from my mentor to get me through all of the assignments, and being able to work in a real studio has been amazing. Each lesson was easy to understand, and I was also given many different books so if I couldn't figure out the answer in my workbook, I had a variety of resources to help me study. One of my favorite books that I was given was a Brief History Of Film. I was fascinated by how far the world of filming has progressed over the years, and it really has opened my eyes to all of the different genres I had been missing out on for so very long. I began to learn the inner workings of an office and also started to get hands on experience with many different kinds of editing software." Read More

"For the past couple of days I've been working on my film reel. This has been a treat because I've gotten a chance to go through all my old work, some of which I haven't watched in a long time. Adobe Premier is becoming more and more familiar to me. Also I've been reading up about aspect ratio. I know what it is but, not the proper measurements for different formats. Other than that just really enjoying my time here and trying to soak up as much info as possible."
-- Alexx Benatuil, Boston, MA
"Had my first session with Jason yesterday and I have to say that I'm already excited to go to the next one. We built a cinema rig for an upcoming shoot and just UHG cameras, I love them. I've been told next time I get to try my hand at building it myself, so that'll be interesting. Also got three screenplay ideas cranked out and chose one of them to go further with today. I'm now ready to have a movie watching marathon since I was collecting titles from chapter one to watch later; I will also have some adding to my list as research for the screenplay I'll be writing. Time to make some popcorn and get to watching!"
-- Rachel Svatos, Dallas, TX
"I just wanted to use this opportunity to really experiment with all the steps of making a short film. For my first project, "Ghost Killaz" I chose to write, direct, compose, and edit. Through that experience I was really able to find my strengths and weaknesses as well as get a better Idea of what I enjoy doing most while working on a film, as of now I really enjoy writing and directing."
-- Noah Dekel, Los Angeles, CA
"It has been very informative working on this set. It has been interesting to see how relationships for. And how quickly these strong bonds can be made within a department. Many of the people might have meet each other before working on this project but by the end of it many would go to bat for each other. It has been an interesting progression watching as this develops. That being said I am sure that there will be a similar process on the next set. Where people don't really know each other and will have to prove that they have value to each other. The other thing that I am really looking forward to is seeing the final product. It will be very educational to see what the fruits of our labor look like on screen. I know what some of the choices people made look like in the moment, but the real question is how they will play on screen after we have had some time away to digest the scene that we had just built. It will also be educational to see how the effects that we making turn out on screen."
-- Eric Wiseman, Los Angeles, CA
"On Wednesday we began work at 9am at the Ford's Fitness center. On this day I worked on recording sound. My mentor was brought on to be a camera man during this production. One lesson I will take away from this experience is that a director must communicate with his/her crew. The director did not do this with us and on the first day we did not capture what he wanted. I believe that it is important to communicate with everyone beforehand to insure that you as the director get what you want."
-- Keith Huff, Louisville, KY
"These past few weeks I have had the opportunity to work on a film set. It has been a very interesting experience. I have found it fascinating to see how each department has their own niche on set. And how the different departments coordinate through the AD and others to make the best possible picture arrive on screen. The other thing that I find really interesting is to see how an idea will start from the script, be molded by the director, and then used by the director of photography. The director of photography will use the idea to get an idea of the atmosphere he needs to build for the scene at hand. He will then give the idea to the gaffer, who then gives it to the electricians and grips. They then build the atmosphere with lights and other equipment. While they are doing that hair and makeup are getting the actors ready for the light and the art department makes sure that everything is ready for the set. There are all of these moving parts coordinating to make a set work. I think that it is awesome and it has been a lot of fun."
-- Eric Wiseman, Los Angeles, CA
"My next trip out with Ahptic Productions was and early morning, but a long hard working day. We were shooting a commercial for Simplified Tax and Accounting Services Company. They wanted to get their marketing out for everyone to see. Are cameras were set up on a sliding dolly and a 48″ camera slider. We started off at the company's main location over in Lansing, MI. We filmed two spots out of the whole place and took about twenty five takes total. The hours went by fast, but we got what we needed to be done."
-- Max McPherson, Lansing, MI
"For Week 2, I woke up at 3 A.M because Jon was doing a shoot for The Paper Store in New Hampshire. I was very tired, but I was also excited; it was my first shoot ever, so I was ready for whatever. We got everything going at around 6 A.M; I helped Jon and the other interns with the dolly and then I helped Jon's lighting assistant. Overall, I thought the shoot went smooth. I thought Jon was very professional and always on the ball going from shot to shot; we finished up at around 9 A.M. He got some action shots of shoppers and then some basic merchandise shots. I learned that it's all about time management; you only have a certain amount of time to film, so you need to use it wisely."
-- Vincenzo Cunsolo, Boston MA
"This past week I was able to be on location during a production. We had a pretty small crew but it was very interesting nonetheless. I got to see how a guerrilla crew goes about getting everything done that a production needs to get done. And how on a film set there needs to be little ego because things have to get done. It was refreshing to see everyone pitching in to try and get the shots that we needed to get for the production."
-- Eric Wiseman, Los Angeles, CA
"I'm roughly at the halfway point in my story. I'm pushing myself to writing as much as I can muster, day by day. Not giving up now. Haven't met up with Marcelo in a while, but it's reasonable considering where I stand in terms of the chapter lessons we've covered, and how I need to finish my script."
-- Tony Wroblewski, Phoenix, AZ
"I discussed with John Raffo, in regards to my progress slowly down a bit on writing. I explained to him that my discipline has been taking a considerable toll, as I told him that I feel the pressure of time constraints and pressure from others, as if I had deadline to commit to. John told me, and I completely understand and agree, that the worst offender and last thing that a creative artist should worry about, is time. He then suggested that I could schedule another day with my mentor to finish up my screenplay's first draft, as the absence of the thought of anything to worry about will greatly assist me in my writing discipline and progress. I am grateful of my screenwriting mentor's encouragement, advice, and thorough logistics and common knowledge towards a writer's creative process. Or rather, a writer's journey. I'm going to finish what I started."
-- Tony Wroblewski, Phoenix, AZ
"This past week I was able to attend the American Film market. It was an experience to see all of these movies brought together in one place to be bought and sold. I found it very interesting to see how people market their movies to the buyers at the event; to see some of the things that the sellers thought that the buyers would be interested in. It was also interesting to see the human side of the American Film Market. Normally when thinking of buying and selling product the images of cold calculated business types comes to mind. The market was not like this. There were many times when I saw two old friends bump into each other and start catching up, with the conversation never broaching the topic of business. It was a refreshing feeling thinking that even at a place where movies are bought and sold to the world people are still being friendly."
-- Eric Wiseman, Los Angeles, CA
"Choices define characters and have the greatest impact on the progression of a character driven story. But, it's not just the big choices, like setting off on a quest, or saving the princess, or sacrificing yourself. In fact, the smallest choices, the choices that aren't so obvious can play just as important a role. These tiny choices are what separate strong characters from weak ones, and great actors from not so great actors. But, above all else, the small choices are the answer to the problems of too many characters and needing more character development."
-- Cameron Martin, Shreveport, LA
"The learning of film and it's intricacies from others and reading about it, and how much of an impact it has on me as an individual, is what gives me incentive to keep pushing forward. I'm not trying to outdo others who are learning or in the same field as I am, I'm trying to outdo myself. As Robert Rodriguez once said, 'Work hard, and be scary.'"
-- Tony Wroblewski, Phoenix, AZ
"Jay, from Student Services, called me Friday night about a job. It's a documentary about a Jazz player. Very interested, so I called the man who wants to make it and seems like a nice man and I'm very much going to do it. First job, yay!"
-- Daryn Davidson, Philadelphia, PA
"Throughout the morning, Marcelo and I went over and reviewed the cinematography and editing of various music videos and we agreed on the criticism we took from said videos. In addition, we went over the occupation and responsibilities that come with line producing. We finished the day by talking about my progress with John Raffo."
-- Trayshard Sorrell, Los Angeles, CA
"I finally met up with my new mentor and he is really down to earth and I am happy to work alongside with him. We have our first official meet up this Thursday to record some B-roll for his film in the making and will review chapter 7 Friday!"
-- Jamie Sedano-Bell, Kansas City, MO
"A couple weeks ago I got asked to be interviewed for the RRF Newsletter, which was just shocking/awesome. I, of course, said yes! Jump forward a couple of weeks and the newsletter came out and I'm still shocked and awed. This is so amazing and going to be great for the future. I am very thankful."
-- Daryn Davidson, Philadelphia, PA
"This is my first blog post so bear with me. I started a little over a week ago working with my mentor. I lived in upstate New York, and decided to pack my bags and head to the Big Apple. At eighteen years old no less. I began working with my mentor only two days later on an independent film called "The Lennon Report." So far I've had the chance to meet people like Rafael and Gabe Francisco, of Francisco Productions. I've been speaking with people like grips, gaffer's, and PA's trying to help my mentor get together the many different people it takes to begin shooting a movie. So far I have enjoyed every minute of it. And I can't wait for more to come!"
-- Angelina Desain, Los Angeles, CA
"About a month ago, I finished the first draft of my screenplay, and am now about half way finished with my second draft. There were a lot of lessons learned in the past month, including: make sure actions sequences are relevant to the characters' growth, be willing to take a break from your work and come back to it later, read many screenplays, and assume the role as the student (learn something new and question your work) whenever you reach a landmark."
-- Cameron Martin, Shreveport, LA
"John Raffo and I went over my progress on my screenplay. As of now I have 23 completed draft pages. Not necessarily saying it's my best work, but it's great to build off of to improve upon. John and I agreed that he would read over my first act as soon as I complete it, it's a way for me to start off on a strong as possible note with the first act, as opposed to working on 3 acts then rewriting it all. Not that I have a problem with it that is. He and I also went over some screenplays and movies for me to watch. It was yet another pleasant call with my mentor."
-- Tony Wroblewski, Phoenix, AZ
"The director made me a producer and I handled all contracts and made sure all crew members signed in. I helped with the make-up artist, sound, and other jobs on set. Around 12am we began production until 8am. While crew took a break I broke down and cleaned up the set. Most of the crew left and the reaming finished the last three scenes."
-- Keith Huff, Louisville, KY
"I am a man of many questions and stories, as is my mentor, so we spend quite a while – I'd say at least 4 rounds of coffee – talking. Though like I said it is a high point of my week being able to talk to someone who not only has the same love and values for the industry, but can also extend advice about it. To me, that is the best way to spend my afternoon!"
-- Travis Rosenbluth, New York, NY
"I'm seeing all of these movies with new eyes between James working on his own movie in the editing room and seeing these other classics. I think I'm starting to realize what made movies timeless. Yes, it was ingenuity, but the art of eye-candy and continuity is ever shifting. I'm hoping I can catch up to things in Chapter 3. Now that I know what my project is, I'm going to go full steam for it!"
-- Sarah Whitaker, Council Bluffs, IA
"This is getting easier for me to do and honestly I'm enjoying it. I was really worried about sounding really uneducated but now that I think of it that's why I'm here. I'm educating myself and letting whomever reading this see the progression that I'm making."
-- James Luong, Edmonton, AB Canada

TaxAssist Accountants Galston provide a wide range of accountancy services including tax returns, payroll and bookkeeping. TaxAssist Accountants in Galston are a part of the largest network of accountants who offer a huge range of experience and expertise to over 52,500 small businesses right across the UK.
Barry McGougan joined TaxAssist Accountants in February 2001. His background prior to joining TaxAssist was in economic development working mainly with small manufacturing businesses. With this background, Barry well understands the problems facing small businesses and the need for them to concentrate on their core activities, knowing their accountancy needs are being effectively managed
Barry says – "I believe in providing a quality service which my clients recognise as being excellent value for money. I deal directly with all my clients at a time and place convenient for them and not when it suits me. A recent independent customer satisfaction survey produced a 95% satisfaction rating amongst Barry's clients. A rating, the authors of the report commented, was amongst the highest they had reported on.
If your looking for an accountant that will take a personal interest in your business then give Barry & his team a call.
Ten years ago, I made the best decision of my business life.
At that time, my accountant was nearing retirement, when I received a call asking if I would be interested in a meeting with Barry McGougan of TaxAssist Accountants.
I'm glad I agreed because as they say, the rest is history. Barry immediately grasped what my accountancy requirements were, especially the problems I was having with PAYE and tax credits, and I felt a great weight being lifted from my shoulders.
The next improvement was moving me from a manual bookkeeping system that was taking me 1.5 days a week to maintain to a bookkeeping software that now only consumes 2hrs per week, leaving me with more time to concentrate on my business.
4 years ago with Barry's help and guidance I moved from being a sole trader to a Limited Company a move that has certainly saved on my tax bill.
This year, again with input from Barry I have opened another outlet in Saltcoats and my sister who had worked for me for the past 21 years became a Director and shareholder.
I have come along way in the past 10 years and I can honestly say that if it had not been for the close relationship I have with Barry and his team at TaxAssist Accountants and the expert advice, guidance and hand holding they have provided me, I doubt very much if I could have acheived what I have.
I now regard Barry and his team of Lisa, Lesley and Graeme as an extension of my business always there when I need them. Nothing is ever a problem with them and every question (no matter how stupid)is answered.
I look forward to many more years of working alongside TaxAssist Accountants.
TaxAssist have prepared the accounts for Profurbish since its inception in 2008.
I have always found Barry and his team to be very helpful and the numerous queries that I have sent over the years have always been responded to in a courteous and timely manner.
Nothing is too much trouble and they have been a great support to us, helping us understand the confusing world of company financial accounting.
All the staff are equally professional and friendly, with a welcoming atmosphere in the their office.

Two new Rolls-Royce offshore vessels for Island Offshore
Tuesday, 22 December 2009
Rolls-Royce, the global power systems company, has won an order to design and equip two diesel electric UT 776 CD offshore service vessels for leading offshore ship owner, Island Offshore.
The vessels are to be built by STX Europe for delivery in 2011 and 2012. The total value of the Rolls-Royce contract is around £20 million.
These new generation supply vessels will be delivered with a fully-integrated equipment system from Rolls-Royce, including engines, propulsion systems and deck machinery. The order also includes motion control systems, thrusters and automation systems.
The vessels will each measure 93 metres in length and 20 metres wide and the deck area will be more than 1,000 square metres. The vessels will be equipped for oil-spill response, and the UT 776 CD design meets present and foreseen regulations.
Jørn Heltne, Senior Vice President, Rolls-Royce Ship Technology – Offshore, said: "We are delighted to have won this contract. It once again shows the importance of close cooperation between ship owners, designers, equipment manufacturers and yards in the Norwegian offshore cluster.
"This new contract underscores our position as the market leader in high specification offshore vessels, and our capability to deliver fully-integrated ship design and equipment packages. We are very pleased that Island Offshore now choose to add two more Rolls-Royce designed vessels to their fleet."
Earlier this year Island Offshore took delivery of two vessels of the same Rolls-Royce UT 776 CD design - Island Chieftain and Island Commander – and has a wide range of Rolls-Royce designed vessels in its fleet.
Over 650 Rolls-Royce designed UT vessels are either in service or under construction around the world.
- Rolls-Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, has established a strong position in global markets - civil aerospace, defence aerospace, marine and energy.
- As a result of this strategy, Rolls-Royce today has a broad customer base comprising more than 600 airlines, 4,000 corporate and utility aircraft and helicopter operators, 160 armed forces, more than 2,000 marine customers, including 70 navies, and energy customers in nearly 120 countries, with an installed base of 54,000 gas turbines.
- Rolls-Royce employs over 38,000 skilled people in offices, manufacturing and service facilities in 50 countries. The Group has a strong commitment to apprentice and graduate recruitment, and to further developing employee skills.
- Sixty per cent of research and development investment and 40 per cent of new product development spending over the past five years has been outside the UK, with particularly strong relationships with the 27 universities worldwide where there are Rolls-Royce University Technology Centres.
- The Marine business of Rolls-Royce employs 8,000 people in 34 countries with the main manufacturing centres being in the UK, the Nordic countries, the United States and increasingly Asia.
- Rolls-Royce is a world leader in marine solutions, providing products, service and expertise to more than 30,000 vessels in the offshore, merchant, naval surface and submarine markets. It designs ships and its product range includes propulsion systems featuring diesel engines and gas turbines, propellers, thrusters and water jets. Rolls-Royce also provides manoeuvring and stabilising systems and deck machinery. Around 30 per cent of Marine turnover is derived from service support activity, with a global network of sales and service offices in 34 countries. Rolls-Royce equipment is in service with more than 70 navies.
- In 2008, Rolls-Royce invested £885 million on research and development, two thirds of which had the objective of further improving the environmental aspects of its products, in particular the reduction of emissions.
- Annual underlying revenues were £9.1 billion in 2008, of which 52 per cent came from services revenues. The firm and announced order book stood at £57.5 billion at 30 June 2009, providing visibility of future levels of activity.

Duke Health System Faces Changing Medical Terrain
The Affordable Care Act is reaching into every community in the United States.
The changes have consequences for hospitals struggling to understand how they fit into the new medical landscape. North Carolina is one of the states that rejected the Medicaid expansion provided for under the Act. The effects of that will be felt by the three hospitals in the Duke University Health System. Host Frank Stasio talks to Dr. Victor Dzau, head of the Duke University Health System, about the changing medical terrain in North Carolina.

2 new elements officially added to periodic table
June 8, 2011 - 10:29 AM
NEW YORK (AP) — Remember the periodic table from high school chemistry? It just got a little bigger.
An international committee of chemists and physicists has added two new elements, numbers 114 and 116.
The elements don't have official names yet. They exist for less than a second before they decay.
Scientists from California and Russia who found the elements did their experiments in 2004 and 2006.
On average, new elements have been added about once every 2 and a half years.

When I tested this eyeshadow out on the back of my hand with a Q-tip it seemed very shimmery and pigmented. However, when I applied it to my eyelids with an e/s brush, the color payoff was less than desirable. Doesn't really show up in photos. As an everyday sheer color, this is quite nice though.
I tried to foil this shade and it turned out very patchy upon application.
I am a bit disappointed. Celestine was my first BE eyeshadow purchase; it is very pigmented, lasts all day and gives me eyes amazing dimension even when applied on its own (dry!) without any contour shade. Good Fortune pales in comparison, literally.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Oily, Olive, Warm Hair: Blond, Wavy, Fine Eyes: Hazel
I got this in the Guilty Pleasures set and I'm really happy with the set. The size I have is a .1 oz size, about 1/2 the size of a regular glimmer, but they still last a very long time, even in that size. Good Fortune is an interesting color - kind a cross between a orangey-gold, and peach, with not only shimmer but *sparkle/glitter*. This makes the glimmer a little chunky going on, but when applied wet, with a fixative such as Mixing Medium or Fix +, over UDPP it lasts fairly well and goes on ok when smoothed on wet with a taklon brush. I get better lasting power with BE glimmers, glimpses and eyeshadows using UDPP. I think this color is very versatile so I would definitely get it again when I run out. It would look good with almost anything - browns, greens, plums, purples, pinks, etc. - maybe not a blue but even a grey or smoke color would do.
I am wearing it today, with Cocoa in the crease (also from the set) and then BE Wearable Pistachio (a light, matte bone color) for the highlight, with a medium plummy grey-silver liner shadow from Alima (Black Cherry) and it's really, really pretty.

i received a sample of this in a swap from a real sweetie who sent me alot of BE colors that i have totally fallen in love with, however, this was not one of them. it looks pretty enough in the pot, an orangey shimmery color, but on my skin (which is very pale) it doesn't show up at all. i can't imagine it showing up on someone with darker skin! i didn't try it wet, but i don't even want to. not worth the hassle. i would not recommend or repurchase.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination Hair: Other Eyes: Brown
This was given to me by someone in a trade, and while it is not something I would have necessarily bought for myself, I am glad to have it. The color in the pot is similar to a fortune cookie, and it is a little scary. When I put it on, it is a beautiful, warm shade. It is not really peachy, but not too yellow either. Very hard to describe. It is also fairly sparkly, but not in a glittery way. It is great for a "I don't want to leave the house without makeup, but I don't really want to get made-up" look. My biggest complaint is that it does not have a sifter top.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination Hair: Brunette Eyes: Hazel
Going on the reviews alone, I thought I would be safe from the orange in this glimmer, but I was wrong. It does look a very scary shade of orange/tan in the jar. While the application is nowhere near as scary, it is still orange on me. I was hoping for a warm golden glimmer. Instead, I got a citrusy glimmer. Perhaps it is my skintone (Mac NC25) but this definitely turned an unflattering shade on me. I also found that the particles of glimmer got all over my face during the application. Overall, not a winner.

Great color, especially with tanned skin! Looks a bit scary and too orangey in the jar, but beautiful on! Makes my blue-green eyes really pop. The only thing is, the glitter particles falls off fast. Overall, no doubt about it - 5 lippies.

With the help of the supplied link lead, you can join this striplight up to a maximum of five others, which is ideal for lighting long work surfaces in kitchens.
Offering fantastic value for money, the Eterna LED Linkable Striplight is durable with a polycarbonate construction, and is equipped with a handy on/off rocker switch for independent operation. A reeded glass diffuser helps to eliminate glare whilst allowing maximum transmission of light.
The Eterna LED Linkable Striplight comes with a 2-metre mains cable, link lead, clips and fixings. This IP20 rated fitting is suitable for dry indoor areas only, since it offers no resistance to ingress of water.
This Class II double-insulated fitting requires no connection to electrical earth during installation, which extends its suitability to properties without an earthed lighting circuit.
The Eterna LED Linkable Striplight comes complete with built-in LEDs, which consume 1.2W of power. The LEDs produce a total 75 lumens of cool white 6400K 'daylight' illumination in a 60° beam angle, with a luminous efficacy of 62.5 lm/W.
Note that the lumen output of a fluorescent equivalent will typically be far higher than this, but will not deliver a focused light. LED light is naturally directional, which makes this fitting perfect for discreet task or display lighting.
The lamp of the Eterna LED Linkable Striplight has a long expected lifespan of up to 30,000 hours (L50), and has a CRI 80 score for high-quality colour rendering. The LEDs are non-replaceable, and will give years of maintenance-free service.

Celebrities Read Mean Tweets About Themselves [VIDEO]
I think Jimmy Kimmel is a genius, and I love it when he does this bit!
I think Jimmy Kimmel is a genius, and I love it when he does this bit!
If you could have anything for your birthday, what would it be? How many people said, "a pony"?
Would you want this man to cut your hair?
In honor of Sesame Street's 45th Anniversary, Jimmy Kimmel did a special edition of Unnecessary Censorship last night. Who would have thought those furry Muppets on Sesame Street were so dirty!
Starting off in Hollywood is rarely a glamorous endeavor -- rather, it's one the requires hard work, patience, and a handful of really bad side gigs meant to supplement a budding star's cash flow until they hit the big time. Melissa McCarthy might be one of our biggest stars, but McCarthy definitely paid her dues before rocketing to the star stratosphere.
Bob Seger performed his new song 'Detroit Made' for an enthusiastic 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' audience
Siobhan Riley's artwork just won't go away! Jimmy Kimmel showed a hilarious montage featuring Siobhan and several other reporters who drew, um, similar objects.
The November election is right around the corner. And with the marijuana industry making a push into politics, Jimmy Kimmel wanted to see if potheads payed enough attention to politics to make a positive impact. Here's what happened.
Beloved (but also maligned) series 'LOST' turned 10 last night -- in TV time, that means last night marked with 10th anniversary of its very first show -- and Jimmy Kimmel took the opportunity to check in with one of the show's original stars: Walt!
Several celebrities, including Ariana Grande, Lena Dunham, Anna Kendrick, Sarah Silverman, Ellen DeGeneres and more, took to various social media outlets to express their sadness upon hearing the news about Joan Rivers' death.
Recognize this guy from the Old Spice commercials, the NFL, and various acting roles? Terry Crews talks to Jimmy Kimmel about his first job in Flint.
Jimmy Kimmel wrote some 'Friends' fan fiction -- and convinced Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow to act it out with him.

Two weeks ago as I walked a short three blocks from the subway to my home in Brooklyn at 11pm I was harassed by seven men. Sorry, I meant seven monsters. These horrid creatures don't deserve the privilege of being called men.
This isn't anything new, for as long as I can remember creeps have bothered me in the street. Forever creeps have bothered all women in the street. This type of harassment has been given the gentle name of "catcalling"" as though it were an endearing and sweet act of love performed toward adorable kittens. I'm not a f---ing kitten, and "catcalling" is far from endearing or sweet, it's degrading, disgusting and often times terrifying. I vote we call it something more appropriate like "cat vomit."
I suppose I deserved to be harassed, after all I was wearing a dress with boots and we all know only whores wear such outfits. (If you don't recognize sarcasm, please stop reading now). But I love to wear dresses with boots and refuse to censor my style because too many guys learned about hooker uniforms by watching "Pretty Woman". It doesn't even matter what I wear, I could have on a snow suit and a hockey mask and these losers would still yell things at me. To them, wearing a vagina is reason enough to be degraded.
My love for dresses and boots began my junior year of college while studying a semester abroad in London. I traded in my upstate New York college uniform of bell bottom jeans and Tevas for a more chic city style. During my second week in London I wore a black dress with tall black boots to the theatre. After the play I walked back to my flat around 10 p.m. which was only five blocks from the tube station and located on a normally busy street. Half way home a van pulled up next to me, a voice called outI was too scared to look at the man's face so I kept walking. The van parked and he called again"Hey you in the boots, come here!"
As I began to hear foot steps behind me I started to run. I got to my building, went inside and never turned around to see if anyone was still behind me. When I entered my apartment I had tears in my eyes and blood running down my face, apparently when I am petrified and running for my life my nose bleeds. My roommate asked what happened, I told her "I wore a dress and boots."Last Thursday the first of the verbal attacks came from four men sitting in a parked van which of course set my internal memory alarms ringing. They sat with the back door open, hanging out as if the van was their living room."I said come here!"
they called. I HATE being called "Mami" by guys. If a woman calls me "Mami" it's cute, if a guy does it's condescending. I know "Mami" is slang for "baby" but when i hear it, I hear "Mommy." What are you an orphan? I'm not your Mami! And if I were, why do you want to bang your mommy? I kept walking."Hey Mami!"
they yelled. I responded,"Where's Papi tonight?"
They oooo'd and awed saying"He's home and if you'd like I can call him down here to come kick your ass!"
"Damn Mami is rough, I like that."
Now had my "Papi" been by my side, no one would dare say a word to me. God forbid one of these jackasses upset my man, but upsetting a vulnerable woman walking home alone, is no problem. Unless I'm spoken for, I'm fair game. In fact, my nerve to walk home alone clearly indicates that I'm looking to get molested by a pack of total strangers. Why else would a lady, especially in a dress with boots, be out at night?
I write this as though this stuff only happens at night. Ha! If only predators worked after dark. There are plenty of guys so pathetic, so shameless, so stupid, they will say vile things to women during broad daylight, in front of other people, even children, and no one does a damn thing. Just yesterday I was walking down 6th Avenue at 1 p.m. when I sneezed. A man called outWow, could it be that manners still exist? That was quite kind of this gentleman, so I said"bless you!"
which he apparently translated into "please rape me with your eyes and words!" because he proceeded to lick his lips and say"thanks!"
Gee thanks, well now I feel sick, if only I had the special skills to have vomited all over his face. How dare he trick me with kindness and fool me into engaging him! Well at least he put his pay phone call on hold to sweet talk me, maybe he is a gentleman after all. (Insert vomit here).But let's return to last Thursday, shall we? As I stormed away from the misogyny mobile a two guys walked past me, looked me up and down, made teeth sucking noises and then one said ""got to take care of dat nice body of yours and not git sick."
and then the other chimed incan I go home with you?"
While the idea of a threesome with two ugly 40-somethings both wearing wedding bands, sounded like such a blast I kept walking. I wonder how these guys would feel if someone talked to their wives this way? Oh wait, they're trying to have sex with someone outside of their marriage, I don't think respecting their wife is something they're into. Then again I don't think most cat-callers, sorry cat-vomitters, are actually trying to get laid when they harass women (God help me, if such tactic has ever gotten one of these idiots any action other than a kick to the nuts). I think for these sickos it's a power thing, they get off on getting away with saying whatever they want to us lil' ol' dumb bitches."yeah, me too?"
So then how would they feel if someone spoke this way to their mothers? Their sisters? Their daughters? How would they feel? Do they even know how to feel? Do they know how it feels to be gawked at, bothered, threatened, followed, terrified? Do they know how it feels to know that by being a woman we are automatically at risk for being raped? No, they don't know how that feels. They will never know how that feels.
I guess I'm lucky. I've never been raped. So maybe I should be thanking these types of men for respecting me enough to not physically hurt me, just verbally and mentally violating me. Thanks guys! But really you are raping us, by degrading us with your words you perpetuate the idea that women are objects to be sexually controlled by men, which adds to problem of women being abused and raped by men, which makes the oppression epidemic never-ending.
Oh but boys will be boys! Right? Well then, it's about time these types boys start acting like men. Respectable, compassionate, intelligent men.
Once I finally reached my block last Thursday, a car pulled up to me.I had had it! Without flinching I turned toward the car and at the top of my lunges screamed ""Mmm mmm mmmm,. I like what I see. Want a ride sweetie?"
The car rode off, leaving me standing alone on the corner of my block, across the street from a Hasidic Jewish family walking home from a Sukkot celebration staring at me yelling about an oral encounter with my non existent penis. They were, understandably horrified. And I was, understandably, horrified. I looked like a crazy person, meanwhile it had been the guy in the car, the guys on the sidewalk, and then guys in the van who were crazy, and disgusting, and horrible. I live in a very conservative Jewish area and already feel looks of disapproval from my neighbors when exposing my bare ankles in public, now I was screaming profanities while wearing a not-Kosher dress and boots combo, this must have been like committing murder to them. All the terrible guys I had encountered that night had really succeeded in shaming me tonight, even when they weren't there.I don't even know why I'm writing this post. I'm assuming the men who read the Huffington Post aren't the ones calling me "Mami", asking to come home with me, or chasing me home. I'm assuming the men who do that can't even read. But if they are reading this, I am asking you, on behalf of all women to please leave us alone. I am also asking you on behalf of other men to please leave us alone. It because of this ( I hope small) demographic of creepy guys that men get a bad reputation, when the truth is lots of guys are respectable, wonderful, men. Real men. Men women actually want to sleep with. When I got home Thursday night and told my boyfriend what happened he put his arms around me and saidSUCK MY DICK!"
That broke my heart, my boyfriend who I know loves and respects women, does not need to apologize for the actions of these animals. According to a study by the University of Connecticut"on behalf of men, I'm so sorry."
"In addition to feeling upset, women were more likely to take the sexist remark as an insult to their gender, and feel greater anger and motivation to take direct action toward men in general."
So basically, these assholes are ruining things for everyone!
So before anyone starts harassing me via the comments section, let me make myself clear, I love men, and I love women. I do not like threatening, disrespectful people. That's a whole other issue in it of itself, the predators that prey on women with a web presence. Rarely am I able to enjoy an opinionated article or video created by a woman without noticing at least one if not one hundred, anonymous irrelevant comments about her body or her bedroom habits. I guess the guys who harass women in the street are at more brave than ones who do it online, at least the street predators don't hide their identity behind lame avatars and screen names.
But I digress.
So what do we do? I'm not going to stop walking my city streets, I'm not going to stop wearing dresses and boots, and I'm not going to stop being a woman. It's frustrating when you don't know the solution, but you are extremely aware of the problem.
There are some small things we can do to help, we can join forces to take back our streets, organizations such asHolla Back (a site where you can submit photos and videos of street harassers) and Stop Street Harassment (where you can share your harassment stories and find news stories about harassment) are working to raise awareness about street harassment.
We can stop turning a blind eye, if you see a woman being bothered, say something, especially if it's one of your buddies who's the culprit. Look, I'm not suggesting guys never try to talk to women, but there's a huge difference between, talking or complimenting someone and harassing them. We're all adults here, we damn well know the difference between what's appropriate and what's not.
If you're the victim of harassment, don't be afraid to say something. I'd like to suggest you say what I said and scream "suck my dick!" to a guy trying to lure you into his car because the confused and disgusted reaction on his face is priceless, but that's probably not the safest thing to do. For all I know, that guy could have gotten out his car and beaten the crap out of me. Luckily, my aggressive reactions have yet to be met with any physicality (and luckily I learned self defense from the amazing women at Girls Fight Back). I do suggest you simply say "leave me alone!" Hell, scream it if you'd like. As women we are taught to be polite, but you don't have to be polite to someone who is being anything but. If you're afraid to yell then tell a nearby police officer, the harrasser probably won't be arrested but at the very least, he may scared straight.
We can be nicer to each other, I'm a big believer that being nice is contagious, the nicer you are the nicer the world will be. Call me an idealist, i don't care, I have to believe that underneath all the hate in this world is good energy, it may buried, but it's there.
And if you're one of the guys who is guilty of being a total jerk, I'm surprised and happy you read this entire piece, I hope it makes you think before you act.
It's 60 degrees today in New York City which for me means perfect boot and dress weather.

UK Scraps Subsidies To Solar Farms 'Blighting' The Countryside
Britons have had enough of solar panels ruining their idyllic countryside. The UK government is planning to eliminate subsidies in a bid to keep solar farms from continually sprouting up across the countryside.
The Department of Energy and Climate Change announced an about-face in the country's energy policy, saying it would discontinue its ratepayer-funded subsidy regime to new large-scale solar farms by next April.
Originally, subsidies to solar farms were supposed to last until 2017, but growing opposition to solar panels littering the countryside and driving up power costs for households and businesses that were forced to subsidize the developments.
UK lawmakers have quickly learned that subsidizing solar development has led to way more projects being built than was originally anticipated, which means that consumers are paying more for power and are now surrounded by solar panels.
"Large-scale solar is deploying much faster than we expected," said the Department of Energy and Climate Change. "Industry projections indicate that, by 2017, there could be more solar deployed than is affordable — more than the 2.4-4GW set out in the electricity market reform (EMR) delivery plan."
"We want to move the emphasis for growth away from large solar farms," the department said.
The solar industry said it was "dismayed" by the plan, reported the UK's Daily Telegraph. The government said it would create a new subsidy for large solar farms, but the solar industry says it will be harder to get funding under the new plan.
"This policy proposal will undermine investor confidence in the entire UK renewable energy sector, by removing at a stroke the short and medium-term policy certainty required for major project investments," said Seb Berry, head of public affairs for Solarcentury.
Environmentalists also attacked the plan, arguing that solar power was crucial to fighting global warming and keep people employed.
"Financial support for solar has already fallen, and any further reductions should only be carried out in a planned way as costs drop," said Alasdair Cameron, an energy campaigner with Friends of the Earth. "But suddenly pulling the rug out from under a popular growing clean energy industry makes no sense, and would put thousands of jobs at risk."
But government officials said that the new plan to cut some solar subsidies would not compromise the country's climate goals. They argued that the country would still have between 10 gigawatts and 12 gigawatts of solar power by 2020.
"We need to manage our financial support schemes effectively and responsibly," the Department of Energy and Climate Change said. "That means that we need to ensure that the growth of the solar sector is delivered in a way that gives best value for money to consumers and allows us to offer effective support to the renewables sector as a whole."
www.epaw.org/echoes.php?lang=en&article=n124 The reason they refuse to use the vast reserves of cleaner Shale Gas under their feet is simple. People would very quickly figure out gas is cheaper and cleaner, they would demand the windmills and solar panels be scraped and these douches would be out of a job.Thousands of dirty diesel generators are being secretly prepared all over Britain to provide emergency back-up to prevent the National Grid collapsing when wind power fails.
Much better to import Bloody Oil from Sharia nations to fuel those backup generators eh?
