Simple Japanese Beauty Secrets You Should Know
Have you noticed Japanese women distinguish not only by racial and ethnic differences, but also by flawless porcelain skin and youthful look? How do they manage to seem 10, 20 or 30 years younger than their real age?
We pursued our own investigation and want to share with you some of the most popular and simple Japanese secrets beautiful skin you can easily follow.
The basic beauty rule
Japanese real secret of beauty not confined to taking regular care of their skin. A Japanese lady got used to take care of herself and feel feminine and beautiful at all hours – and that's the fundamental rule. Japanese woman tries to stay calm and without too much stress, (by the way, stress is the number one enemy of beauty and health).
Beyond that, women in Japan:
• drink green tea every day;
• don't eat rich food, lots of meat and sweets;
• don't use too much makeup.
Simple Japanese beauty secrets
• The typical skincare process of the Japanese women varies, but in general, they try to keep it simple and not use dozens of different products.
• The Japanese woman will definitely choose traditional, simple, natural beauty product that might come from rice, camellia plant, seaweed and edible herbs.
• A red bean is a centuries old, but still popular ingredient to rub gently on the face, which results in smooth skin.
• They also use special oils, like rice bran oil, as a makeup and eye shadow remover.
• The Japanese ladies use camellia, ancient floral oil, that softens wrinkles and keeps moisture balance in dry skin.
• Highly refined rice bran powder is very popular product in Japan, as it rich in vitamins B1, B3, B6, E, and numerous anti-aging antioxidants. Rice bran powder whitens and nourishes flawless complexion.
• Facial scrub is one of the most important skin-care product in Japan, originally used for nourishing and cleansing skin.
• Another old Japanese beauty secret is facial blotting paper – its mattifying effect helps to keep shine-free complexion daylong.
Japanese food secrets for beautiful skin
• Japanese can easily access to one of the nation's favourite food – seaweed, which is rich in iodine, zinc and other healthy minerals. Therefore, the Japanese women consume a lot of seaweed to keep fit and to get a glowing skin.
• In addition, they eat a kind of sea algae that help to protect their skin from UV rays, pollution, fine lines and dark eye circles.
• Japanese women eat fish (which is very high in Omega-3) regularly to keep healthy and glowing skin.
• They consume lots of oranges to deoxidize and break up melanin resulting in whiter skin. They prefer stay out of direct sunrays.
• And prefer not to eat bread – instead of this, they eat huge amounts of rice without butter or oil.
• Japanese like eating brassicas, such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, radishes, turnips and bok choy.
• The Japanese women consume natural animal collagen from beef or chicken as well, as collagen is the basis for beautiful skin and keeps it from scarring and getting wrinkles or any other skin imperfections.

Rumor Has It Mitt Romney Might Take Another Crack at White House
Just when Americans thought they had heard the last of Mitt Romney, the rumor mill begins to spin tales that the former presidential candidate might take another crack at the White House in 2016. The rumors are not coming completely out of left field, as Romney has been a busy bee, making appearances on 12 different media programs in the last six months. Add this together with the fact that he is planning a dinner for his previous campaign staff and simple mathematics tells you that there is something going on. Whether or not that "something" is a second attempt at the presidency is yet to be confirmed, but that has not stopped speculation.
Romney has seen a resurgence in popularity recently, largely due to Obama's big foreign policy goof-ups with Vladimir Putin. When the former Republican candidate was running for president in 2012, one of his biggest criticisms of Obama's foreign policy was his take on Russia, and in a recent editorial that was penned by Romney, he pulls no punches by pointing out his correct assumption of the situation in light of recent events. While much evidence is pointing toward another bid for the White House, Romney has stated that he absolutely has no intentions of running for president again.
Despite repeatedly saying no to the media about a potential run, many news outlets are buzzing about all of the attention Romney is receiving, some going so far as to call him the front runner for the Republican Party in the 2016 race. These outlets refuse to see this as just a rumor, believing, even seeming to desire, Romney to take another crack at the White House. If the GOP choose Romney, or another establishment figure like him, say for example, Jeb Bush, they are guaranteed to lose the election and the American people will see another Clinton as Commander-in-Chief. Perhaps that is what left-leaning journalists are wanting, drooling on themselves at the idea that a two-time presidential race loser will be Hillary Clinton's opponent in the 2016 race, all but solidifying her victory. This in and of itself should be sufficient motivation for the Republican Party to make sure that Romney does not get anywhere near the party nomination. Every effort should be made to dissuade him from even thinking of taking a third shot at the presidency.
Even if Romney were to win the presidential race, the country would be no better off under his leadership than Clinton's. He is a Progressive, as is indicated by his creation of a government run health care program in Massachusetts, similar in nature to Obamacare. If the country is to survive, the same old big government, high spending policies must be stopped. It is impossible to get different results by trying the same exact methods over and over again. A true free market system, something that honestly has not been tried in America, despite what school textbooks say, is the only way to fix things economically. The country needs a candidate who stands for a true free market, will seek to do away with needless regulation, and will do everything possible to get the government out of the private lives of citizens. It is apparent that if the rumor is true, and Mitt Romney takes another crack at the White House, the GOP will practically hand the Democrats the presidency in 2016.

8 Responses to Rumor Has It Mitt Romney Might Take Another Crack at White House
I disagree with you Micheal Ronald Reagan ran for president 2 times lost both then ran for his 3rd time and won. And Ronald Reagan became considerably one of the best if not greatest president in American history. And if a Bush and Clinton run in 2016 our country will rot.
This author is so very wrong about Mitt Romney. There are thousands upon thousands of us out here doing everything we can to get Mitt Romney to run again. We support him and are ready to work to put him in the White House. Mitt Romney is far and away the top choice for the presidency regardless of how many times he has run. He will wipe the floor with Hilary Clinton. Winners don't quite, and Mitt Romney will yet become one of America's greatest presidents and leaders. #GoPresidentRomney! #mittromney2016\

analysisBy Mandy De Waal
Alistair Brownlee might be the UK's firm favourite for gold in triathlon at the London 2012 Olympic Games, but the Brits may have a little surprise coming in the form of Richard Murray, who hails from Cape Town, South Africa.
"The realisation that the games is a(n) Olympic Distance triathlon and not a sprint is very solid in my mind at the moment, but on the day of the 7th of August 2012 ANYTHING is possible." This is triathlete Richard Murray, was writing on his blog in the days leading up to the Olympics.
All eyes are on South Africa's swimmers and athletes to bring home the gold, but Murray - South Africa's only male triathlete at the London 2012 Olympic Games - has had a hell of a run this year, and looks set to be a real contender.
The SA and world junior duathlon champion only switched to professional triathlon at the beginning of 2011, but this didn't stop him from taking his maiden win on the eve of the Olympics. Murray ran an incredibly fast time in the sprint leg of the Triathlon World Series in Hamburg, Germany on 21 July 2012, outsprinting Javier Gomez of Spain (two-time world champion) by five seconds.
"Some 60 men on the start list and only 3 places on the podium - I needed to have a killer swim to hold on to the front pack," Murray wrote on his blog after the race. "With a big dive start, which I really love, we set off towards the three buoys which were set around 200-230meters from the pontoon. Starting on the far left, as I was called out last, I soon saw that I was leading the group from the left of the field.
"Out the water with some of the biggest names in the sport after a very fast swim, I was only 20-odd seconds behind Javier Gomez. With everyone having a super quick T1, I needed to punish myself on the bike."
Off the bike, Murray writes about the magnificent run that saw him take Gomez: "At around 500 metres, I put in a surge at around 2:40-2:45/km for the 1st 1-2km; this may have been a rather long surge. I was feeling strong and in control of my pace and body, and knew that the pace we were running was a bit insane. I decided to not look back, keep my head down, and run fast."
Triathlon is a relatively new Olympics sport, which is possibly why Murray's been under the radar. The first swim-ride-run took place in Sydney, where some 500,000 spectators pitched up to watch the maiden Olympic triathlon in 2000.
The 2012 event takes place in Hyde Park, famous for its speakers' corner and for being one of the biggest parks in the UK. With a field of 55 men, Murray will swim 1,500m swim, ride seven laps of a 6.137km course to complete a 43km bike race, and finish off with a 10km run.
The 23-year-old from Durbanville, Cape Town, who's been training in Europe for some time now, told SASCO's 'Road to London' that he's more than up for the challenge.
"Training has gone well, and focus has been 100% on the Games for the past month; every thought goes into how I can make things better/faster and more economic," Murray said.
"The Games are something very special to me, and I feel like I am the fittest I have ever been in my life at the moment peaking at the right time for the Games."
So that's the men's triathlon, this coming Tuesday 07 July. Bugger Britain's Brownlee brothers - Daily Maverick's money's on Richard Murray for gold.

COSTA MESA, Calif.—"This far exceeded our expectations; probably the most beautiful thing we've ever seen on stage." These words came from Dr. William Mathews, a collector of art, who, with his wife, Irene, attended Shen Yun Performing Arts on the evening of Jan. 19 at Segerstrom Center for the Arts.
Mr. and Mrs. Mathews, who are not only avid collectors of art but also art benefactors, were thrilled with what they saw.
Mr. Mathews said that the finale was beautiful. "I'd do anything to see it again. … Everybody should see something this exciting."
Shen Yun is a New York-based music and dance company with the expressed mission to revive traditional Chinese culture.
Through a collection of short pieces, Shen Yun's dancers bring to life not only the historical features of China's 5,000-year heritage, but they also convey the essence, the deeper meaning, of traditional Chinese culture, which emphasizes virtues such as righteousness, purity, and compassion.
Mr. Mathews described his enjoyment of the performance on a deep level.
"It was just beautifully done, and I could feel the movements, and after a period of time, you could almost learn what some of the movements meant. It was a really inspirational performance," he said.
He was touched by the grace of the dancers' hand movements. "It was just so inspirational and peaceful to see the hand movement," he said.
Mrs. Mathews was equally delighted after seeing the performance.
"I think the show is beautifully put together. I don't see how they could do anything more fantastic. So I agree with my husband, everyone in the world should see it, and I can't wait to come back next year," she said.
One of the many distinguishing aspects of a Shen Yun performance is the digitally animated backdrops which extend the stage and transport the audience to magical realms. From the vast Mongolian plains to the quiet solitude of a heavily wooded forest, from high mountain peaks to green, tropical valleys, "the digital projection infinitely expands and transforms the stage," according to Shen Yun's website.
Mrs. Mathews was impressed by the creative integration of the performers and the backdrop.
"I loved the way the backdrop was done, and it was fascinating how some of the people kind of disappeared into the air, in the background, and some of them came back, and then some of them just went away into the background." She said it was helpful and beautifully done. "It just really did a great deal to enhance the program," she said.
As an art collector, museum developer and museum trustee, Mrs. Mathews has developed a keen eye for detail and color combinations. She noticed how the tones of the colors in the backdrop reflected the tones of the dancers' costumes.
"I think I notice it because I've been involved in the arts. I think you open your eyes more. I'm always looking for the colors, because I'm also an interior designer, and I notice color a lot, and I notice the colors in the show because some of the blues were strong—in the sky—some of them were muted, but they all create such a mood that puts the dancers in this landscape that goes along with the mood," she said. She also noticed how the color of the costumes was in harmony with the background and scenery.
She said she felt that the coordination between the orchestra and the dancers conveyed peace. "It was beautiful. It was beautiful because they were so graceful, the dancers were so graceful, and it fit in with the music so much that it flowed beautifully, and it just was a very serene event."
Reporting by Mandy Huang and Albert Roman.
Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company will perform in Thousand Oaks at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza Jan. 22 and 23, and downtown Los Angeles at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion Jan. 25 through 27. Shen Yun Performing Arts, based in New York, tours the world on a mission to revive traditional Chinese culture. For more information, visit ShenYunPerformingArts.org

WAVERLY, Iowa - Laura Baker is preparing to ride RAGBRAI for the second time, but it will be a completely new experience for her.
She doesn't remember anything about her first RAGBRAI.
The 26-year-old is a graduate student in Denver. She just arrived home to Waverly ahead of RAGBRAI.
Back in August Laura was seriously injured when she crashed her bike. It happened during a biking event in Colorado. The avid bike rider was going down a hill at a high speed and stopped too quickly.
"I don't remember the accident at all, nothing at all," Laura Baker said.
Just looking at Laura it's hard to believe less than a year ago she was in a coma. She crashed her bike and survived a traumatic brain injury.
"I tried to stop, which caused me to flip over the handlebars and land on my head, wearing a helmet," Laura Baker said.
The impact took a lot from her. Months of memories have just vanished.
"All told, I mean, six to eight months probably," Laura Baker said.
That includes all of her memories of last year's RAGBRAI. She rode with her dad, Tom. He remembers every bit of the muggy trip and is filling her in on what she's lost.
"We did our bonding thing and I thought I was done," Tom Baker said. "But since she doesn't remember last year, we are doing it again."
Her dad said there's no way he would let her ride alone this year.
"I want it to be special for both of us," Tom Baker said.
So, in just days the pair will set out for the long trip. Laura will take the bike that landed her in the hospital back in August.
"It's the first time, we have to reconnect, we have to bond, re-bond, me and the bike," Laura Baker said.
The 26-year-old said nothing could stop her from getting back on her bike. It has been a goal to do RAGBRAI again throughout her recovery.
"Everything has worked out really great," Tom Baker said. "She's still got some challenges for sure but to be able to be riding again is really cool."
Now, the Waverly woman with a love for biking will make new memories for ones that disappeared.
Laura and her dad are doing the entire seven day trip.

THERE'S an orchestra playing inside your body. Chewing, breathing, your heart beating – most internal noises go unnoticed, but they carry useful information about our body's function. Now a device called BodyBeat taps into these sounds to monitor health.
Created by Tauhidur Rahman and his team at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, BodyBeat uses a microphone strapped to the neck to listen for vibrations in a person's skin and bone. The sounds it picks up are transmitted wirelessly to an Android smartphone, where software determines whether a heartbeat is irregular, for instance.
The system could also be used to assess lung health, says Rahman, by listening to a person's breathing to figure out when it is laboured or short. Using a phone's GPS sensor, it could detect when and where the wearer starts coughing, providing a way to track illnesses.
The current version of BodyBeat is mounted on the wearer's neck and can be rigged to hold the microphone against the side of the neck, the jaw or behind the ear. All three locations can pick up vibrations from chewing, breathing and the beating heart.
Rahman says the team is working on miniaturising the system to make it more comfortable. He also plans to pair it with Google Glass to monitor diet. "BodyBeat will recognise when we're eating, and then we can use Glass to take pictures of the food and send them to [crowdsourcing site] Mechanical Turk for categorisation," Rahman says, giving the system an idea of how well someone is eating.
Another idea is to look at abdominal sounds. "Stomach sounds give us information about dietary behaviours," says Rahman. Listening to those sounds can tell a user how their body reacts to different foods.
Shahriar Nirjon at the University of Virginia is working on a similar system. He aims to use his device to monitor the breathing of people with asthma. "It will save your data on a day-to-day basis so that when you go to see your doctor you get a better history of your breathing," he says.
Nirjon wants to compare breathing patterns across populations, so that software can tell the severity of a person's breathing problems. "The device will be able to provide some feedback automatically, possibly recommending that you go see your doctor right now if things are bad," he says.

AMES, Iowa – As frustration mounted mere hours before the tournament, leader Priscilla Delgado sat down with the Science Center of Iowa (SCI) 4-H'ers and tried to remind them of the things they had learned. The 10-member team had been working for four months to learn new computer software, complete robotic challenges and create a skit on new car safety technologies in preparation for the FIRST LEGO League (FLL) robotics tournament, yet they still had two challenges to finish before the next day's regional event.
"I reminded them that it was their first year," said Delgado, an AmeriCorps member. "I told them we would go to the competition, learn from others, learn from what we have done and celebrate it."
Her 4-H'ers were not to be persuaded into simply learning from the experience though. One jumped up, declared they would pull an all-nighter to finish what they started, and within moments, those who could stay were on board, some parents set out to stock the snack food supply and the group buckled down, working until 4 a.m. to complete their challenges.
"By the time I got home it was 5 a.m., and we had to be at the competition at 7," said Delgado. "The kids were not one bit tired though because they were so excited."
Despite not making it to state competition, the team learned a lot from the experience and is eager to use those things again to compete in another event as part of the Iowa 4-H Foundation's Gala.
"The kids are really excited for the opportunity to compete in robotics again," said Delgado.
Robotics Challenges to be Featured at 4-H Gala
The Science Center of Iowa (SCI) and Iowa State University Extension 4-H Youth Development have teamed up for the event Feb. 20, beginning at 12 p.m. with the arrival of selected robotics 4-H teams and clubs from across the state of Iowa.
"It's a great partnership to have between the Science Center and ISU Extension because we have the expertise in providing positive youth experiences and they have the state-of-the art facilities that enhance learning," said Shelly Greving, marketing coordinator for the Iowa 4-H Foundation.
At 12:30 p.m. two challenges will be released – one that uses robotics hardware and programming software produced by LEGO® and another that requires kids to take a bucket of spare parts and create a robot. The teams then will have until 5 p.m. to design and build robots that meet the challenges. Robot demonstrations and an awards ceremony follow from 5-6 p.m.
"The upcoming robotics event matches well with the mission of both organizations. It's a great time to demonstrate learning and to celebrate the kids," said Cindy Anderson, director of the Iowa Learning Center. "SCI is all about how to learn, not what to learn; the energy and creativity these events have is outstanding."
Family, friends, gala attendees and members of the public are invited and encouraged to attend and watch the event unfold or stop in to watch the robotics demonstration afterward beginning at 5 p.m. Throughout the event (from 2:30-6:30 p.m.), non-robotics 4-H science, engineering and technology (SET) clubs also will showcase and share what they've learned through fun hands-on activities for visitors.
"As an event, it is a great opportunity for kids to bring together everything they have learned, and it's a demonstration of learning and communication, which are important parts of 4-H," said Holly Bignall, an ISU Extension program specialist. "The awards will not be only for the most successful robots, but also for things like elegant solutions, creativity, teamwork and good sportsmanship – all the different things it takes to be successful in the real world."
The SCI and 4-H organization have worked together for several years. This past year, however, brought their partnership to a new level through the SCI 4-H club, as they work together to meet an increasing need for hands-on programs in the SET fields.
In the past, SCI has hosted other youth robotics competitions including regional tournaments for FLL and a robotics scrimmage. They also provide a weekly meeting place for the SCI 4-H club, one that was begun last year to help interest and excite Polk County kids about SET fields. Robotics was one of the stronger interest areas when Delgado initiated the club, but there is also a group of members interested in astronomy. As she works to recruit high school students who can work on their own science projects and help with the younger ages, Delgado is excited about the future, the diversity of the club, the variety of possibilities to explore through the SCI and 4-H and the life skills learned from experiences like the robotics event.
"The kids learned a lot about teamwork from working on robotics," she said. It takes more than one person to solve problems "and that goes for the real world as well. They also learned how to respect everyone's input and opinion because everyone has them."

The following is an interview with Laika House's Nicholas Weigel, director of "The Amazing Flamenco Dancer" and Motionographer's Lauren Indovina.
Lauren Indovina: Can you tell us a little bit about how you were initially approached for the project? Did the script change much from pitching to production?
Nicholas Weigel: We received an "invitation to directors" from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners and launched a three-week development process, culminating in our pitch for the spot. We could tell from the brief that the agency's creative intentions were ambitious and clear, which is always exciting for us as an animation studio.
The directive was straightforward – create a 30-second story about the magical "creation of salsa" highlighting the love and passion for the process. A memorable, strong and sassy flamenco-inspired dancer was needed to lead the viewer through this story and through a world comprised of all the fresh vegetables used to make TOSTITOS® Restaurant Style Salsa.
House has a history of bringing consumer brand characters to life (M&M's, Honey Nut Cheerios, Frosted Mini-Wheats, etc ). For "The Amazing Flamenco Chef," there seems to have been a lot of ownership and invention. How much creative license was given to you in developing the story and the style?
We could not have asked for a better creative partnership with Kate and Jess from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners. From the onset, the agency team encouraged us to take chances and be bold with our designs and animation. The collaborative process and mutual trust was evident as we developed the character, story, environment design and character performance.
We started the process by selecting four character designers who were a good fit with client goals. We worked through four to five rounds of exploratory sketching, honing in on directions and design details. Our heroine's design was like making a great cocktail – the right ingredients would make her memorable, but too many garnishes would dilute her style. In the final client-approved design, she was tastefully accessorized with hooped onion earrings, cilantro-print fishnets, a dress made from organic materials, iridescent eye makeup and a tomato headdress. It's funny, if I look at her final design I can see a lot of myself in there.
How does LAIKA/house break down a project? Is there an initial phase of look development where artists flush out the style? Or is it a more organic post process working closely with 3D artists to achieve a final scene?
LAIKA/house works in such a wide variety of mediums and styles, which vary greatly to fit the needs of the production. On a project like this, we are creating everything from scratch for a CG build with a definite pre-production phase emphasizing concept design, planning and technical R&D. This provided a good foundation and sense of the scale of the job so everyone knew the creative expectations of the production. From that point, the production is a fascinating mix of organic exploration of details unknown, creative refinement, clear direction and execution.
"The Amazing Flamenco Chef " has beautiful character and environment choreography. What type of previs did your team use to achieve this effect? Can you talk a little bit about your pipeline?
We pulled many examples of visual reference to get things started. The designers/board artists and the rest of the team discussed the flow of the story and ways to frame up the action. The animators studied flamenco dancing footage to try to find bits of performance that fit into our tight little story. I always liked the idea of creating a moment where we slowed down the action as her dress or her fan ripped through a vegetable blowing it to bits with a sort of delicious violence. This balance of beauty and its destruction speaks to me. We're also always looking for opportunities to create moments that surprise and exhilarate the viewer.
Our pipeline is designed to support the artists so they can work fluidly. Our core set of tools allows us to set up the asset management aspects of the project. Each project requires new custom tools, so new projects strengthen our abilities to meet challenges. My favorite tools include: evolving scene status from layout – lighting, quick output of animation WIPS, variable rigged character/prop detail, stripping anim scenes and re-assigning shaders, matte painting/texture projection templates and comp templates. Tex/light/comp artists take their shots to 90-pecent completions and use Flame for final color and conform.
What was the time frame from start to finish to complete this project?
The spot aired nationally during the Fiesta Bowl, Jan. 4, 2010. The entire production took about 10 weeks, not including the initial design period.
Biggest challenge?
Taking on "stylized realism" can be challenging because of the unknowns and time it takes to develop the look. On the flip side, this directional challenge is liberating, since you are able to explore design options to create a unique vision.
Our production process and open communication with Goodby, Silverstein & Partners turned our technical challenges into opportunities to innovate and push the look of the spot further.
Outside of that, it's always creatively challenging to squeeze a richly-designed world like this into 30 seconds. There is so much more to explore!

Before joining the roster at LAIKA/house, your path to directing has been momentous, as you've worked with many leading CG character based studios and directors in the world. Can you talk a little about how you started out?
I've been really fortunate to have always worked with great creative artists, directors and studios. When I graduated with a BA in Art and Anthropology and headed out to find a job, I was weighing an offer as Jr. Account Executive for Young & Rubicam or an Associate Animation Intern for Atari Games in Milpitas, CA. I had to go with Atari. The company is a "classic" and my producer was the body double for Chong-Lee from Blood Sport (seriously)…
This opportunity introduced me to the breadth of animation mediums and I was encouraged to experiment with mo-cap, stop motion, 2D and 3D. I stayed for two years at Atari and art directed a few games before I left to start a small production company in San Francisco called Imagination Plantation (IP). In the entrepreneurial spirit, I happily slogged many hours on commercial spots and directed a few straight-to-video films.
Eventually, IP was absorbed by W!LDBRAIN, where I was a Lead and Animation Director for the next five years. I developed a TV pilot, Vanilla Pudding, which initiated my move to be a Creative Director at Nickelodeon in New York. From there I went to Hornet Inc. as an Animation Director. I collaborated with Aaron Stewart, Peter Sluzska and Clay Weiner. Soon Psyop approached me to work on Coca-Cola's Inside the Happiness Factory, Happiness Factory 2 and with the Psyop/The Mill on Orangina's Naturally Juicy production in London. The last job I worked on in NYC was a full-up cinematic for Cartoon Network's foray into MMPG.
For those of us unfamiliar with the technical ends of a CG pipeline, can you explain a little bit about what it means to be an animation director?
In my experience, an Animation Director can be responsible for everything – from working with the producer to build the team to animating shots. Whether or not you have an Animation Director on a job depends on the scale of the project and the Director. For example on Coca-Cola's Happiness Factory 2, it was a monster job and required essentially two primary leads: one for Art Direction the second for Animation/Character & Performance. The leads collaborated and overlapped, but also supported the Directors and Producers and managed the team of 40. On The Amazing Flamenco Chef, the team had great Technical Leads and Art Leads.
How would you describe your style as a director?
Evolving. I have done a lot of work… but it pales to what I would like to do in the future or what I have crawling around inside my mind. It's all about opportunities and collaborating with great people.
What is the best advice you'd give someone in our industry who is trying to become an animator and eventually an animation director?
Be a sponge and an avid observer. Absorb the spectrum of how all things behave, but also try to absorb as many challenging artistic references as you can cram into your head. Be active, be ballsy and be adventurous. Try to study twinkly bits in horrible films, awkward movements, the details, varied cultures and emotional contrasts. Learn about timing and delivery. Bring style, not just acting to your animation.
Regarding your career and transition from animation director to director, what are the biggest challenges to taking on the whole pie to direct a spot on your own?
I've been able to work with a variety of Directors and have learned so much – everyone does it differently. It feels natural for me to direct, as it's really just slipping into the role I've been very close to already. I enjoy not only guiding the vision of the project but understanding the challenges the artist and clients face. A Director is a problem solver and intermediary in the grand process.
What advice would you give the 20 year old you?
NW: Don't compete in the Jr. Olympic Downhill at Mt. Snow – you'll blow out your knee, like I did in my early years. Actually, I probably would say "ski faster and win that @$%#*&."
The 25 year old you?
Invest in Google please.
The current you?
Start writing down the stories you and your son make up every night.

Busansky suceeds Johnson as Supervisor of Elections
Seán Kinane
WMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Republican incumbent Supervisor of Elections Buddy Johnson conceded defeat to his Democratic challenger Phyllis Busansky after two days of delays in counting most of Hillsborough Countyâs early votes.
Last night, WMNF asked County Commissioner and canvassing board member Rose Ferlita about Busanskyâs victory over Johnson. Ferlita called the election process ânot acceptable,â from voters being given incomplete ballots on Election Day, to provisional ballots being left unsecured in the lobby of the Supervisor of Elections office, to the two-day delay in tallying the Hillsborough vote.
Phyllis Busansky has the opportunity to react to these problems and do a better job after taking the office, Ferlita said.
Canvas board member Kevin White said that despite the delays and other problems, the votes were counted accurately.
WMNF contacted the Busansky campaign, but they said she was not available today. We hope to bring you an interview with Busansky on Mondayâs newscast.
Today, Buddy Johnson told the Tampa Tribune, "Premier could have done a better job in explaining what the uploading challenges were." He said the company assured Hillsboroughâs technicians that up to 20,000 ballots could be processed from each machine.comments powered by Disqus

Science versus Religion
Measurements of the Gods
Deluge:From Genesis to Atlantis
This article introduces the two intimately related books of over 500 pages each by Harry Sivertsen and Stephen Redman which under the project name of Megalith, Masonry, Myth and Measure are individually titled- 'Deluge:From Genesis to Atlantis' and Measurements of the Gods.
In 1971 Keith Thomas of St. Johns College Oxford published a fascinating book titled Religion and the Decline of Magic. In the course of the work he gave examples of commonalities between the two subjects. Today we have a different debate, not religion versus magic but religion versus science. So how are these two seemingly diverse subjects defined? The word science is ultimately derived from Latin for knowledge, scientia. Hence science can be described as knowledge. Of course given what is generally known as 'the scientific method we can add the words 'gained by experiment or experience or something similar to 'knowledge for a clearer description. However, knowledge is the dominating factor.
Religion on the other hand, as described in 1535 and contained among numerous other similar descriptions in The Oxford English Dictionary on Historical Principles, is seen as: Recognition on the part of man of some higher unseen power as having control of his destiny, and as being entitled to obedience, reverence, and worship etc.
Yet such a description, while perhaps being suitable for the commonly accepted perceptions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, does not necessarily fit the multitude of beliefs that have blossomed among the worlds cultures. Further to this, the primary arguments of today revolve around the concept of creation ex nihilo or 'out of nothing versus the scientific approach of physics and evolutionary biology. Yet while the physics concept of the Big Bang is as well known as Darwin and Wallaces ideas regarding evolution, the source for the creation side of the argument appears in most arguments to be derived solely from the Biblical account. But from where did this concept arise? Is this a Hebrew construct or can the source be found elsewhere?
Ultimately the creation concept of the primary religions of today is derived from Indic sources, long predating any Hebrew writings. In fact much of the early Bible is drawn from such foundations, but this has passed unrecognised by most.
Religious critics claim that religion is based upon belief and not knowledge, but could not knowledge have led to belief in a similar fashion as scientific endeavour has led to beliefs of a whole variety of types of knowledge in the modern world? Man had to ask questions to arrive at the conclusion that Earth was created, he had to have knowledge to raise those questions. This being the case, religion, as science, is based upon knowledge. Perhaps the knowledge was of a different variety to that today perceived as valid or possibly there is little difference and that lacking the learning that has evolved during the past century man arrived at the only logical answer he could find, an answer that in fact was a very much simplified version of todays ideas.

Questioning the social work done by corporates in the country, actor-producer John Abraham says there are hardly any billionaires who part with their money to help the needy. The youth, he believes, can play a big role.
"I say the youth should contribute. Contribution is when each one of us are willing to give what is ours, without worrying about how much the other has. If we are all willing to do that, we will have equality," the 40-year-old said here Tuesday at a press conference organised by actor-philanthropist Rahul Bose.
Citing the examples of Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffet and Indian business tycoon Ratan Tata, he asked: "Which of our billionaires is parting with his money?"
Rahul and John came together to announce a concert to raise money for the former's 'The Foundation', which works for the upliftment of underprivileged children.
Talking about his own efforts, John said he prefers to live a simple life, and gives away most of his clothes and other items.
"I have given my clothes away. Anyway I wear very little clothes," he quipped, adding: "I have two to three pairs of jeans, four to five shirts which you will see are repeated in press conferences and some 20 t-shirts. You can instantly recognise them!"
"I really believe that leading a simple lifestyle helps and I am sure you all can also do the same. It is no use having many expensive things - you just collect and horde and then throw out," he added.
John also endorses the Mumbai Marathon. Rahul told reporters that John "does not charge anything for being its brand ambassador".

According to Bollywood actor-producer John Abraham, there are hardly any billionaires who part with their money to help the needy. Youth can play a major role to help poor and needy folks. Read more updates about Bollywood at Missmalini.com, a regular updating Bollywood news site.
Why these billionaire not donate it to the poor people than to Swiss bank
Well said John. I'm glad that an actor like you thinks of such things. Yes indeed, owning many clothes of brand name stuff does not help because everything is made by exploitation of the poor and specially those that are high end brands exploits the most!
Well said...how many of indian billionaire, actually donate...I am not saying donate like Bill Gates, but, at least lets say take a charge of one village...Imagine, with the number of billionaire we have, if each one overseas and becomes responsible for one village development in India, how successful India as a country will become...I am not rich, but, I always donate my clothes, money, and whatever I can to my bit... :)
Great to know that about you John.a philanthropist...I have always liked you anyway...your smile tells that you are pure at heart...
If everyone starts introspection like this...the happiness and equality will prevail
Everyone, be it common man or billionare, should contribute in their own way..but sadly this dont happen
Well done John and Rahul
Sooo true. Only if every one can think like him...
sign of a good human being .
this is quite surprising wonder if the reason for his change was coz of the reason for fallout btw him and salman khan. bt good to see he has changed and is doing good for his country
Well done John. After Salman, you're the next one in the line. I'm glad there is someone out there in India, ready to stand up and speak up for the truth.
Loved this article.
Love you John.
#Well said #true said.
Welcome back, is set to release on September 4th this year. 1

Visiting cards in my pocket...
Because of the unseasonal rains (which lashed central India after midnight, accompanied by lightning and power failures) most of the participants at Baramati VI [1] arrived late at the venue. At the dinner table, at starting time, there were just three other participants who had flown in from abroad, via Mumbai.
Because of the unseasonal rains (which lashed central India after midnight, accompanied by lightning and power failures) most of the participants at Baramati VI arrived late at the venue.
At the dinner table, at starting time, there were just three other participants who had flown in from abroad, via Mumbai.
Frida Youssel, a Lebanese lady based in Geneva, is coordinator for UNCTAD (the UN's Conference on Trade and Development) [2] finance and risk management commodities branch. We shared ideas on Lebanon's senseless civil war, its site Baldati.com[3] to keep villages in touch with the outside world including the large number of expats from the country and the impact of Lebanese food in the most unlikely places of the globe including six kms away from my village back in Goa!
Dr Youssef, who has visited other parts of India in the past, is keen to look at successful attempts of ICT in agriculture.
PJAM (Peter) Smeets, drs. is from the Alterra Landscape Centre in the Wageningen UR in the Netherlands [4]. He spoke on e-agroparks in the Netherlands, somewhat hi-tech stuff with more interest on the business side.
Edwin Moyo of Zimbabwe, the CEO of the Trans Zambezi Industries Ltd, was also present early, having come in via the Kenya Airlines flight (one of the few from that continent that connects Africa with India, apart from South Africa and Ethiopian airlines). But he didn't have a card on hand, so that will have to wait.
Gopi N Ghosh was a known face. We've been in touch through BytesForAll. He's currently the assistant FAO representative and resource person (for food and nutrition security) at New Delhi.He heads FAO's knowledge management network and is part of the Solutions Exchange that shares useful agri info.[5]
Later, on the bus home, this expert with a long experience in agriculture (including the G B Pant University), spoke about growing areas for concern about agriculture in India. Ghosh has had long experience in this field.
Together with him wer ehis colleagues Bidisha Pillai (research associate, food and nutrition security community) and Shailza Kapani (operations assistant, knowledge management partnership project). Both have the link for the Solutions Exchange prominently mentioned on their visiting cards.
Another familiar face was that of sai sreekanth m (who spells his name in lower case on his cards). [6] sai was one of those bright young men we met at FOSS.in [7] 2005, the Free/Libre and Open Source Software network conference held last December in Bangalore. There, he was talking on Free Software tools in the world of education.
sai works for Yahoo! [8]. His designation is senior product manager for emerging markets. But he's passionate about ICT in development, is a member of the BytesForAll [9] Wikipedia. ">mailing list(now, am I bragging?) He was earlier with HP, looking at how all the silicon and software could make sense to the Indian commonman. sai sees India as among the top ten emerging Fuente: TechSoup Glossary y GenderIT.org ">internet markets globally, and expects a lot of attention and things to happen on this front.
As some of us were discussing over dinner, there are a lot of interesting small projects coming up all over the place, in a country like India. But given our size and poor communication, the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. If anyone can bring all these together, that would be magic!
On Friday morning, one met up with some press people too. Hemant P Mardia, associate editor of [13] college of Agricultural Banking.
In between, I also caught up with Mathew Sangma, who comes in from the remote North-Eastern Indian state of Meghalaya, and is with unitus-accion, the Indian microfinance centre. He mentioned they have a software called 'porta credit' but I couldn't locate it after a hasty search on their sites [14].
Or did one look at the wrong place?

from Big Sean (Ft. Jhené Aiko & Lil Wayne) – Beware Lyrics on Genius
Even the pros who have their pimp game on lock can slip up every now and then.
Wayne uses "players" as a wordplay to literal sports players, making it a double entendre with "playas" or pimps. In the end of the day, they all mess up!
Also, this line shows the essence of the song. He doesnt apologize for cheating, he apologizes for getting caught. Sean and Wayne admit that they hate the fact that the relationship is over, but they make it quite clear that its not going to keep them down forever. They have options.
He also could be following up from the line before, he says "ride a nxgga like a mo 'pad'" when of course its called a "mo ped." Pointing out that he fucked up his words, his bad.
Also, this could be a reference to Next Friday when Dede says "players fuck up", when he puts his shirt on backwards.

Supposedly the first hot rod to be motivated by a ZR1 crate engine, it is the most powerful production engine ever available from any domestic manufacturer. In the Corvette, its rating is 638 hp at 6,500 rpm and 604 lb-ft at 3,800 rpm. With calibration tweaks by Thomson Automotive down in Wixom, Michigan (and later a Ryan Kuhlenbeck-modified LS7 crate motor controller that was amended in the running car by Matt Harlan at DiabloSport), the power level grew like freakin' Jack and the Beanstalk. With no mechanical changes or modifications, it produced 703 hp at 6,300 rpm? Yikes! You'll also notice how the whole package fits neatly under the ZL2 hood, not a lump or a hint or a whisper of what terror lies just beneath the surface.
That slick Currie axle measures 56.9 inches in width, carries 3.89:1 gears, and is connected to the Viper T56 via a Cameron Coves Industries 3.5-inch steel driveshaft. D&D Transmission over in Wixom made an adapter from 0.890-inch aluminum to hook it up with the engine. The flywheel and clutch assembly are straight out the ZR1.
Fuel and other critical fluids and their coolers abound. To fit the Rick's stainless cell and clear the 3-inch stainless exhaust system, the front corners were cut off. The fuel cell carries baffles designed by Mark, and a CTS-V fuel sender that Kinsler Fuel Injection joined with a pair of high-flow fuel pumps and corresponding regulators. Since Charley loves to terrorize (even him) on track days, the transmission is fitted with an external cooling system designed by Mark, composed of a pump and a compact heat exchanger connected by braided-steel lines.
Likewise, the fluid in the Currie axle benefits from yet another cooling system with a trunk-mounted catch can. There's more at the front of the car. To maximize airflow to the radiator, A/C condenser, and heat exchangers required for the supercharger and the power steering, Mark used a Bottomfeeder.com (air dam) kit that redirects air that would normally flow beneath the car directly to the regions that need it most. It sits rearward of the normal location and also aids in aero flow.
If Mark insists on one thing, it is how the undersides of his project cars are packaged. Everything is up and out of the airstream, yet with optimum functionality and free of vibrations. The exhaust system is one such realm. The fuel tank was built to accommodate it and the floor where the rear seat once was (now a storage department for Charley's pounds of $50s) has been raised for the same purpose.
Joe Borchke turned a pile of Kook's stainless tubing into the exhaust system's essentials: the headers for which we have no measurements and the 3-inch stuff into a floor-hugging system. Joe positioned the short Borla mufflers as far to the rear as possible and brought the ends of the tailpipes even with the valance panel. But before Reiters took the car back for bodywork and the application of its PPG Daytona Yellow paint (OE code 76 color in '69), Joe welded in an 8-point cage.

I had a ZX10 before the DR, so, like you, I went from a litre sportsbike to a 650 trail bike. I can honestly say that it's the best bike I've ever had. Like you, I also thought this would be a stepping stone to something like a GS or a Super Tenere but in all honesty, if someone handed me the keys to a brand new GS1200 and offered to swap bike for bike... I'd keep the DR. A bloke at work has just bought a Panigale and although it's gorgeous, if I had to ride it, I'd rather have my DR.
As you know here in Australia we have very low speed limits that are enforced with zero tolerance it seems. I'm sure owning a gixer-thou for six years in Brisbane you are familiar with speeding tickets. You won't be having this problem with the DR, it's a pleasure to ride around town, and is known affectionately here as the bush-pig for good reason
Cheers. once my hand heals and I can ride again, i'll definately test ride everything. But the DR looks very tempting - its so cheap compared to any of the others (KLR excepted) and looks like its good value.
