Women's wings of all political parties and some women's non-governmental organisations have come together in Visakhapatnam city to fight against the unchecked flow of liquor.
At a press conference here on Thursday, the women's organisations formed into a panel christened Anti-Alcoholism Committee, Visakhapatnam and announced a sustained agitation-programme beginning July 19 at Mahatma Gandhi Statue at Jalaripeta on Beach Road.
The Progressive Women's Organisation representative B. Padma said that a massive rally would be taken out in Jalaripeta taking note of all illegal activities at the wine shops and make note of the locations of all belt shops (illegal wine shops). The agitation would continue till July 26 and after gathering sufficient information on the 56 shops in the city, the committee would submit a representation to the Commissioner Excise and Prohibition on their duty to curb the illegal and loose sale of liquor at wine shops seeking their immediate intervention. "If the Excise Department does not take action, we will agitate in front of their offices and finally resort to direct action, which legally they should have taken against the law breakers," said Shireen Rehman of Chaitanya Shravanthi. The BJP City President M. Narendra said many MLAs and Ministers had invested in the liquor shops and for purchasing licenses in the recent auctions. The amount realised from Visakhapatnam city alone rose by 92 per cent during auctions compared to previous exercise two years ago. The Committee members would go round 72 wards of GVMC to create awareness among people, said Jagadeeshwari of Stree Vimukti Sanghatana.

It was quite a relief for me when Antigua, which meant language school, was only a bus ride away. Although we had been doing pretty well on the Spanish that I already knew, I was keen to learn a lot more, and still feeling very frustrated at not being able to understand as much Spanish as I could speak.
When we arrived in Antigua, we were collected by our new padres (parents), Olga and Hermando, who drove us to what was to be our new home for the next two weeks: a pretty yellow house replete with golden dog called Ringo and volcanic views (literally). Slightly less picturesque than Volcan de Agua, that loomed over the courtyard, was the leather factory next door, where animal skins hung out to dry on washing lines.
The family seemed lovely, though with all the extended members coming and going constantly, I was never really sure who was actually a permanent resident of our house. Jennifer, the six-year-old grandaughter of our temporary parents, proved to be my favourite family member. A beautiful little girl, with the gorgeous shiny black hair that is typical of Guatemalan women, she seemed to find endless joy in trying on our make-up and rifling through our things; picking up a bag or hairbrush and asking ´es de tu o Finnola?´
´Pretty colonial town´is a description in Latin America much like ´college town´ in the States: both are over-used and you do learn to disregard them. But Antigua is a great resemblant of this oft-used phrase. Cobbled streets, pale yellow churches, pretty fountains and big arches make the town look like it is full of big delicious sponge cakes that are too good to eat. This is best seen in Parque Central which is constantly full of international Spanish students, locals selling their wares, and richer Guatemalans who come in from the city to enjoy lunch in one of the countless cafes serving good coffee, smoothies and cakes.
Antigua is also known as one of the safest areas in Guatemala, but as with all rules, there will always be an exception or two.
Our first night in Antigua wasn´t great. We discovered that Antigua - a high altitude place that has cold evenings anyway - was in the middle of a cold snap. This meant thermals and jumper to bed, and painful mornings in our wholly uninsulated room. Furthermore, we experienced our first traveller crime, when some rank opportunist mugged us on our very road! We had gone out for a drink with our old friend Gary from Geary (who had recommended the language school), and on our way home a man grabbed my wrist and demanded ´money, money´. He didn´t get much, but needless to say, it wasn´t an ideal way to start our time in Antigua.
Mugging and cold aside, our first week in Antigua was a success. It was great to have three home-cooked meals a day, and my Spanish lessons were coming along pretty well. Being already in the possession of some basic Spanish, I felt pretty confident with going over the first principles of the language, and my teacher Mayra enjoyed being taught about the proper uses of English insults such as ´wanker´ and úp his own arse.´
Fin and I soon settled into a ´back to school´routine: up for breakfast at 7.15, school from 8-12, back for two-course lunch, some kind of extra-curricular activity and homework in a local cafe; and then dinner at 7 and meeting up with school friends in the evening. For the first few days we would eat our eveing meal with the family, and so practice the day´s Spanish, but with the arrival of three more students in our house, meal times were necessarily divided up between family and students. In our second week, we started eating with the family again because the two wierd Mennonite students had left to go and work in an orphanage, leaving me, Fin and Zack, a Canadian whose unwashed hair won him the nickname ´Greasy One´from Garry. Zack was a lovely guy, but completely lacking in basic manners and hearing. This meant that he spent meal times shouting ´que?´at anyone who spoke to him, and soon became known as ´mas pan´by the whole family. For at every meal - which was always a grand affair - there would be a full breadbasket that Zack would empty without so much as a thought to the other diners. He would then ask for ´mas pan?´(more bread), not even blinking an eye when Olga´s acquiesence to his wishes necessitated going out to buy more bread. At one dinner, Zack actually reached over Hermando´s plate to help himself to the father´s own personal breadbasket. He was absolutely oblivious to the death stare that he received from the head of the table.
Of the extra-curricular activities that made up our daily routine, I was most enthusiastic about my group salsa lessons. After a free introductory session, another student and myself signed up to have further lessons. Somehow these ´group lessons´ended up being partner lessons, with just my myself and an English guy who was referred to by Garry as ´Greasy Two´. Greasy Two had two left feet and no realisation of it. I would spend my lessons trying not to get stamped on by his giant walking shoes and if I wanted to have a go with someone who knew what he was doing, then I could get twirled around by the teacher, who - though highly skilled - was literally about half my height. I let Greasy Two think that I was leaving Antigua earlier than I was, and when one day I walked past the dance studio and saw him salsa-ring with another poor girl, he almost hid his head in shame, obviously under the impression that I would be upset that he had replaced me!
Certainly the most spectacular sight that I have seen so far on my travels was in Antigua, on the day that we trekked up Volcan de Pacaya - a live volcano. On our way to the volcano in the minibus we had some problems with one man, who seemed to be under the impression that he was on his way to El Salvador. He also made us stop the bus half-way there, as he thought that he had lost his bag. Fortunately, five minutes later, he was able to recall leaving said bag in his hotel room. It was quite a relief for everyone, when within five minutes of beginning the trek, this man threw down his bag of beers and his walking stick, exclaiming that he was going back to town.
The hike up to the volcano´s peak took about two hours, and as we left in the afternoon, we were able to see the amazing view from the top before, during and after sunset. There was flowing lava just ten or so yards from us, and the smell of burning rubber, as the soles of some people´s shoes (including mine) began to melt on the volcanic rock. Even with the hopping from foot to foot to avoid the smell of burning flesh, we stayed at the top for a good hour to marvel at the sight of the three volcanoes that stood in the distance beyond the clouds. Being as high as we were, it looked as though you could just walk out onto the clouds and reach the next volcano.
After two weeks we were a little sad, but more than ready to leave Antigua. Although the cold snap had cleared up, it soon became apparent that the family dog suffered from some kind of bowel problem, and at times, we woke up in an absolute stench - the doors and walls of our room being made up of what seemed to be driftwood. Jennifer was upset to see us go, but largely consoled by receiving my non-functioning American phone, and as her waving figure became smaller from our mini-van view, Fin remarked that she would have forgotten about us within the hour. Who knows, but I don´t think either me or Fin will ever forget her make-overs, or the smell of that dog.

Deakin University leads project to meet rural teacher shortage with national curriculum project
16 June 2009
Deakin University has won a $218,000 grant from theAustralian Teaching and Learning Council to conduct a national project developing contemporary curricula for teacher education courses. The project, focused on the higher education sector and led by Dr Simone White, aims to develop a forward thinking curriculum that caters for rural education needs. It aims to meet a growing need for well prepared teachers as rural and regional areas face a teacher shortage.
Note for Editors:
Australia faces a national crisis in attracting and retaining teachers and other professionals in rural areas. Teacher education can help to address this crisis in better preparing teachers for rural careers. However current scholarship and research indicates that the majority of universities have no explicit focus on rural education in their teacher education programs. Only random and ad hoc rural practicum opportunities exist with no obvious link to any of the various State-based financial incentives across Australia to encourage teacher graduates to work in rural areas. This project will provide explicit advice and resources related to curriculum renewal to address these issues and assist universities with teacher education programs to make best use of existing and new resources.
The project will be conducted in partnership with Charles Sturt and Edith Cowan universities.

Small Business:
Problems Continue With SBA's Minority Business Development Program
RCED-93-145: Published: Sep 17, 1993. Publicly Released: Sep 24, 1993.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-7631
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Small Business Administration's (SBA) ability to implement changes to the 8(a) business development program relating to the: (1) collection and management of 8(a) program data; (2) certification of 8(a) program participants; (3) development and maintenance of 8(a) firms' business plans; (4) competitive award of 8(a) program contracts; and (5) distribution of 8(a) contracts among 8(a) firms. GAO also reviewed SBA efforts to determine the amount and type of financial, technical, and management assistance provided to 8(a) firms as well as the effectiveness of such assistance.
GAO found that: (1) the 8(a) program still lacks a management information system that provides complete and accurate information on all 8(a) program aspects, including data on the type and amount of financial, management, and technical assistance provided to 8(a) firms; (2) SBA also lacks an application tracking system that can provide it with timely information on processing problems; (3) SBA does not effectively review the business plan of each 8(a) firm to ensure that it is up-to-date, the firm's business development goals are realistic, or that the firm is progressing toward achieving its goals; (4) SBA certification time for 8(a) program participants continues to exceed the mandated 90-day period; and (5) SBA has made improvements in tracking management and technical assistance, but the extent of financial assistance provided to 8(a) firms is not fully known.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: SBA completed the redesign of the 8(a) program's management information system and it became operational in October 1995. The system includes an 8(a) application-tracking component and a capability to track financial assistance to 8(a) firms referred to in the recommendation. However, because SBA has always maintained that its system design complied with federal regulations and guidelines and that GAO's findings (and this recommendation) were due to a lack of agency documentation, SBA has no plans to provide further documentation to support its system design.
Recommendation: The Administrator, SBA, should direct the Associate Administrator of the Office of Minority Small Business and Capital Ownership Development (MSB&COD), in addition to implementing the recommendations in the January 1992 report relating to implementing the 8(a) application-tracking system and determining the full extent of financial assistance provided to 8(a) firms, to complete and analyze users' requirements for the 8(a) program's management information system, document the system's design, and complete the system's implementation plan, all in accordance with federal regulations and guidelines.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In late 1995, SBA made the annual review of each 8(a) firm's business plan and other documents one of the three goals for assessing field office performance in fiscal year 1995. In February 1996, SBA evaluated the records of 300 randomly selected 8(a) firms in the first of a series of periodic reviews by SBA to assess field office compliance with servicing requirements. One of the objectives of SBA's review was to determine whether the field offices were conducting annual reviews of 8(a) firms' business plans, and the overall quality of these reviews.
Recommendation: The Administrator, SBA, should direct the Associate Administrator, MSB&COD, in addition to implementing the recommendations in the January 1992 report relating to implementing the 8(a) application-tracking system and determining the full extent of financial assistance provided to 8(a) firms, to direct SBA field offices to annually review each approved business plan, as required by the act.

Express Specials
A Ukrainian security official says the head of the country's Black Sea fleet has been dismissed and faces a treason investigation after declaring allegiance to the pro-Russian government of the Crimea region.
Deputy National Security Council Secretary Viktoria Siumar told journalists at a briefing that Adm. Denis Berezovsky had been fired and replaced by another officer. She said he had offered no resistance when his headquarters was surrounded and then transferred his allegiance to the regional parliament in Crimea.
The parliament has elected a pro-Russian leader who says he does not recognize the newly elected central government. Siumar said his headquarters was surrounded by pro-Russian forces.

New 3-D Starlight Steams into First-Ever UK Tour
Editorial Staff • West End • 23 Apr 2004
Lloyd Webber wrote Starlight Express, a tribute to the era of steam trains and performed entirely on roller skates, for two of his children, now grown. The musical originally opened at the West End's Apollo Victoria on 27 March 1984, at which time six miles of timber, two and a half acres of sheet wood and 60 tonnes of steel were used to construct the complicated, multi-tiered racetrack set.
Over the years, Lloyd Webber regularly updated the piece. In 1992, five new songs were added to the score and the show was completely re-choreographed, re-directed, re-lit and the set refurbished. A new single and album were released in March 1993.
By the time Starlight Express ended its 18-year West End run on 12 January 2002, it had clocked up 7,406 performances and more than £140 million at the box office, having been seen by over eight million people (See News, 13 Jan 2002).
The new, redesigned production is being specially created for the UK tour by members of the show's original creative team, including designer John Napier (Cats, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon) and choreographer Arlene Phillips (Grease, Saturday Night Fever). It will also feature additional lyrics by David Yazbek.
Following Manchester, Starlight Express will visit Sunderland, Bristol, Oxford, Edinburgh, Southampton and Liverpool. The tour is being produced by David Ian for Clear Channel Entertainment in association with Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group Ltd.

(aged 85)
West Hollywood, California, U.S.[1]

|Phyllis Gehrig (1953–1958; divorced)
Alan Grigsby Sues (March 7, 1926 – December 1, 2011) was an American actor widely known for his roles on the 1968–1973 television series Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In. Alan's on-screen persona was campy, outrageous and contained verbal slapstick. Typical of his humor was a skit that found him following a pair of whiskey-drinking cowboys to a Wild West bar and requesting a frozen daiquiri.[2][3] His recurring characters on the program included "Big Al the Sportscaster" and "Uncle Al the Kiddie's Pal".[2]
Early life[edit]
Alan Grigsby Sues was born on March 7, 1926 in Ross, California to Alice (née Murray) and Melvyn Sues, who raised racehorses, requiring the family to move frequently. He served in the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II.[1]
Sues used his GI Bill benefits to pay for acting lessons at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he performed, later making his Broadway debut in the stage play Tea and Sympathy, directed by Elia Kazan, which had a successful run in New York City beginning in 1953.[1] During this period, Alan met and married Phyllis Gehrig, a dancer and actress, subsequently starting a vaudevillian nightclub act in Manhattan — with which they toured North America before divorcing in 1958.[1]
After touring the country with his wife, he got more work in stand-up comedy (at Reuben Bleu and Blue Angel, both clubs in Manhattan), worked with Julius Monk, and joined an improv/sketch group with The Mad Show, which led to his being cast in Laugh-In.[1] Outside of Laugh-In, he appeared in the classic Twilight Zone episode "The Masks", in a non-comedic role.[4] He also had supporting roles in the films Move Over, Darling (1963) and The Americanization of Emily (1964).[5]
After Laugh-In, Sues portrayed Professor Moriarty onstage in Sherlock Holmes (opposite John Wood, and later Leonard Nimoy), which, according to Alan, was "one of my favorite roles, because it's so against type, and I loved the makeup". The makeup for Moriarty was used in several books about makeup as an example of shadowing and technique.[6] Sues appeared in television commercials for Peter Pan Peanut Butter during the 1970s, as a tongue-in-cheek Peter Pan. He toured with Singin' in the Rain, playing the Elocution Instructor. He also appeared in several movies, and provided voiceovers including Oh! Heavenly Dog and Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July.[citation needed]
Later years[edit]
Sues appeared in the short films Lord of the Road (1999) and Artificially Speaking (2009), the latter making its premiere at the 2009 Dances With Films festival in Los Angeles.[7]
In 2008, fifty years after their divorce, Sues and his former wife, Phyllis, conducted a lengthy interview at his home for her website.[8]
Michael Michaud said that, even though Alan never disclosed publicly during his career that he was gay, his over-the-top, flamboyant, stereotypically gay mannerisms displayed on Laugh-In were an inspiration to many viewers when they were young, as he was "the only gay man they could see on television at the time."[1]
Sues died on December 1, 2011, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, West Hollywood, where he was taken after suffering an apparent heart attack while watching television with his beloved dog, Doris, according to his friend and accountant, Michael Michaud. [1]

The Church
The central church at Den Burg is the Nederlands Hervormde Kerk church.
The construction lasted from 1400 till 1452. The church was build on the remaining basis of a former church constructed of peat stone.
The tower fundament is made of big glacier stones from the Ice time.
In 1537 the wooden tower was struck by lightning and destroyed. It was replaced by a stone one financed by a tax on alcoholic drinks.
The interior of the church had been destroyed twice; first by the "Geuzen" and at the end of WWII by the Russian rebelly.
Up to today there are ongoing restaurations; the last one is to renew the roof tiles.

Nathan Horton (concussion) misses practice, won't play vs. Senators
|01.30.12 at 4:19 pm ET
Bruins forward Nathan Horton was not on the ice as the team returned from the All-Star break Monday. Horton has been dealing with his second concussion since June after taking a hit to the head from Flyers' forward Tom Sestito on Jan. 22.
Coach Claude Julien said that Horton is still experiencing symptoms, and that the team doesn't expect the symptoms to subside for at least three days, meaning he will not play Tuesday against the Senators, and will likely also miss Thursday's game against the Hurricanes.
"He is getting better, but so we can save you guys a lot of trouble of asking every day, at least not for three days. '¦ He's still at the point where he hasn't ridden the bike yet, but he is getting better."
With Horton not practicing, forward Rich Peverley took his place on the team's top line with David Krejci and Milan Lucic Monday.
In 46 games played this season, Horton has 17 goals and 15 assists for 32 points and an even rating.

The framed portrait of Mos Def clues diners in to the obvious fact: this refined Italian restaurant is doing things a little differently. Gabe Stulman expands his West Village-based Little Wisco empire (Joseph Leonard, Chez Sardine, and Fedora) with this bustling Minetta Lane bistro, where heaping plates of pillow-shaped agnolotti, plump with braised beef and Parmesan, follow poetic dishes of sweet blue prawns in brown butter and yogurt. Chef Michael Toscano, formerly of Babbo and Eataly's Manzo, panders to indulgent diners with fat wallets, so it's best to arrive with an empty stomach and a full checking account. Enjoy the feast while taking in the darkly romantic dining room until the last moment, when tender, fennel-dusted sugar cookies arrive with a Scopa card -- and the bill. --Tejal Rao

Pratt & Whitney has begun studies of open rotor engine architecture despite its long-standing pursuit of geared turbofan (GTF) technology, and does not rule out shifting to a propfan configuration if this path is favoured by the airframers.
The company is developing a GTF engine to power the next generation of regional and single-aisle aircraft. This engine's low-pressure spool operates at high speeds for peak efficiency, while its fan operates at slower speeds to maximise efficiency and significantly reduce noise.
P&W next generation product family vice-president Robert Saia says the GTF engine will undergo noise, performance and endurance testing in December, when it is run in a Florida test cell.
This will be followed by on-wing trials, using a Boeing 747 testbed, which are scheduled to run for around five months from next June.
Other engine manufacturers are working on unducted fan (UDF), or propfan, technology. Saia says the GTF design will deliver 90% of the UDF's fuel efficiency without the cabin and environmental noise penalty, enabling it to avoid costly noise abatement routes.
He adds the rival products would require a new high-wing or rear-engined design, which will increase airframe development time compared with the conventionally mounted GTF.
But, despite these reservations, the manufacturer is considering coupling its geared technology with an open rotor design as a future project, as the manufacturers begin to put forward potential airframe and engine configurations.
An open rotor design would need to be roughly twice the diameter of its 1.83m (6ft) GTF equivalent, causing weight, noise and aerodynamic drag penalties.
P&W undertook joint studies of this technology in the 1980s with Allison, and a demonstrator "578-DX" engine flew on a McDonnell Douglas MD-80 flying testbed in April 1989.
"We are at the beginning of studying an open rotor," Saia says. "It is really the next generation. The question is when is it? Is it 2017, like our competitor is saying, or is it 2020 or 2022? And does it create a different aircraft design than what we see today?
"That is something we have to work with the aircraft manufacturers [on]. If the aircraft manufacturers go that way, then certainly we'd be prepared to go that way, still leveraging all the technology that we're working on now," says Saia.
"It would be a geared type. It would be a different gear, but the basic fundamental design and technology of that gear system would be fundamentally the same."

A rolled-up $20 bill was found on the floor near the bed, but New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said lab tests found nothing to indicate the bill had been used to snort drugs. Police also said no illegal drugs were found in the apartment.
Authorities believe it will take about 10 days and additional tests to determine Ledger's cause of death.
Ledger's body was discovered Tuesday afternoon by Wolozin, who arrived at the apartment for an appointment with him, police said. Wolozin was let in by Ledger's housekeeper, Teresa Solomon.
Solomon said she went into Ledger's bedroom and heard him snoring Tuesday afternoon at 1 p.m. Wolozin arrived around 2:45 p.m., called Ledger's cellphone and knocked on his bedroom door, but got no answer. When she opened the door, she found him naked, face-down and unresponsive.
Wolozin proceeded to use Ledger's phone to repeatedly call Olsen. Olsen said she would send members of her private security team to the residence, according to reports released by police. Wolozin then called 911.
Paramedics arrived at 3:33 p.m., according to the timeline released by police. Three minutes later, Ledger was pronounced dead. Authorities told The New York Post they believe Ledger had already been dead for hours.
News of Ledger's death hit Hollywood fast.
News of Ledger's death came just as model Helena Christensen was on her way to visit him, she told Women's Wear Daily. Christensen, who was rumored have hooked up with Ledger this past fall following his split from Williams, told the fashion publication: "My heart goes out to his family. I am just beyond sad at this point, and shocked.
"I was on my way over to pay him a visit when I found out. I had just left him a message and heard his voice on the machine," she continued. "He was such a special and genuine person, so extraordinarily talented because he was so raw and honest with his feelings. He was so full of life, so electric. ? This is immensely sad."
Lee Daniels, who produced the critically acclaimed "Monster's Ball" in which Ledger starred, strongly disputed any notion that Ledger had a drug problem.
"The definition of substance abuse is really up to one's perspective," Daniels said. "I didn't see him as a drug addict. I saw him as someone who enjoyed life. I know drug addicts; he was not a drug addict."
He said that he saw Ledger a couple months ago and that he was in great spirits. "He was in a good mood, he was in a great place. ? He was excited about living in New York."
Two hours after his death was first reported, Nicole Kidman, who hails from Ledger's home country of Australia, released a statement to reporters saying, "What a tragedy. My heart goes out to his family."
The superintendent of the Ledger's apartment building, Tamba Mossa, told ABCNEWS.com that Ledger had "been renting the apartment for about four months" but he didn't know who owned the loft. Mossa added that he was surprised to learn about Ledger's death, saying the actor had always been "very nice" and would often go on walks with his young daughter.
Tributes from fans quickly accumulated in front of the downtown Manhattan building. A small display of flowers and candles were set up outside the apartment along with farewell notes. One message addressed to the star of "Ten Things I Don't Like About You" read, "I couldn't find anything bad about you."

Even after all these years of covering commencements, the strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" inspire me with optimism. After all, I have high hopes for this year's group of newly minted graduates.
I look forward each spring to the traditions of covering at least one local commencement. I'll be at Cannelton's ceremony Saturday and Perry Central's on Sunday. I had the pleasure of covering South Spencer High School's commencement exercises this past weekend.
Editor's Note: Cannelton High School student Spencer Herzog wrote this column as part of an English assignment in teacher Eric Harris' class. As Harris points out, Herzog makes a point about being young but interested in current issues and "I think it's always refreshing to see a local student published in the newspaper. It shows the community that there are kids who care about what is happening in the world."

It could also allow rain water to be sent to Tell City for costly but unnecessary treatment.

Save the Dates
I absolutely love my save the dates. I always worry when I purchase things online from a new company. Well no need to worry Magnetstreet. The quality is excellent and you get exactly what you order and are able to customize your order. I will definitely be ordering my wedding invitations from Magnetstreet.
Just right
We are delighted with our purchase of save the date magnets for our upcoming wedding — the magnets look great and are true to the colors that we chose upon ordering (we personalized the colors). It took 10 days to receive them from the time/date they were placed. When writing it down, it doesn't seem like very long, but it felt like a long wait due to our own excitement and impatience. We even received four more magnets than we ordered and there was a note about that on the receipt in the box stating that they included the extras that were available at that time. I don't think this is something to EXPECT with every purchase, however it was a great surprise! Having a few extra will really come in handy. They came in a very nice magnetic box that we will surely be able to use again for something. Everyone who has seen the magnets (and even the packaging they came in) was very impressed! We will definitely order from MagnetStreet again!

The classes Alaska Photography Academy were created with input from experienced photography professionals and employers in the industry. The goal of our professional photography classes is to help prepare individuals to be better photographers and to pursue careers in the visual arts field through a philosophy of learning by doing.
Our Professional Photography classes in Palmer, Alaska are taught in classrooms and labs that give our students real-life experiences.

And when they finish the academy, our students can be prepared to pursue new opportunities with the practical photography experience and valuable portfolio pieces that employers or clients are often looking for. Here are just a few of the Professional Photography classes available to students at Alaska Photography Academy:
Digital Illustration
This photography class concentrates on the use of the computer as an illustration and page layout tool. In-depth work with illustration, page layout, and ancillary software programs, with the goal of creating illustrations and layouts to accompany photographs in a final page design. Class should help prepare students for work in traditional print-based media and electronic media.
Stop Action Photography
Continuing the scientific applications of photography, this professional photography course introduces the special equipment and techniques necessary to reveal, study and measure motion. Events that occur too fast for the eye to see are slowed or frozen on film, allowing them to be analyzed. Conversely, events that move too slow to be noticed can be accelerated and made apparent with methods introduced in this course.
Fashion Photography
This advanced photography course helps the student understand the process of producing and executing a professional fashion shoot. Students can learn to work with both amateur and professional models, professional hair/makeup artists, and professional wardrobe stylists as part of a creative team. Specific attention is paid to lighting and film processing techniques unique to contemporary fashion photography.
Intermediate Portrait Methods
Control, execution and an understanding of a variety of styles and subject matters are covered in depth in this course with emphasis on posing, styling, and use of props. Artistic and technical principles are applied to a more complex series of subjects and situations adding children and groups to the repertoire. Assignments in this professional photography class will cover classic, contemporary and pictorial styles for both studio and environmental portraiture and window light. Professional business practices are introduced along with further practice of retouching and print enhancement.
