Thread: Secrets of Fold effects?

Secrets of Fold effects?
Well, to start off, I'm sort of an artist in my free time (a beginner at the best), with no means of a formal education in the arts But it can't hurt to ask right?
Anyhow, I've got a bit of a problem that's been very consistent as of late. Whenever I draw people (may it be real or cartoon), I have alot of problems mastering folds and creases on clothes. It really wasn't a problem before, but now that I realize, it seems to be a consistent issue whenever I am doodling the pants or shirts of a person. Sometimes, I have too many folds or too little folds and I really can't make up my mind. My question is, is there a secret to getting the perfect amounts of fold in clothes? Also, when it comes to coloring folds in the doodled image, what advice can anyone give me?
Unfortunately, I am unable to provide any artwork in the moment, but will in the future. Also, If there is a topic already discussing this issue, please link it here!

the only secret is observation. take pictures of people and look at the way the material folds go on their bodies. drapery and clothing pull at certain spots in certain poses, being mindful of this while drawing will help considerably. i would grab any one of these ebooks and see if they help.

"My question is, is there a secret to getting the perfect amounts of fold in clothes?"
- look at photo reference of whatever it is you want to draw to get an idea of what it would really look like
- do a rough version using the photo as a guide
- remove (or add) folds from the rough version as necessary
- when it looks right, do the final
Eventually after you've done thousands of the things you'll have a feel for what to put where.
"Also, when it comes to coloring folds in the doodled image, what advice can anyone give me?"
Understand the fold as a 3D shape. Things like shadows and highlights exist because light falls on a 3D shape in a certain way. If you don't know what the fabric is doing when it bunches up then all you're really doing is guessing and there's a lot more ways to guess wrong than there are ways to guess right. You should understand what's going on well enough to draw contour lines that follow the 3D surface you're drawing, like a mesh for 3D graphics. Unless you're doing a very flat style (like a paper cutout style, for example) always think in 3D, otherwise your shading will make no sense. (You should also know how to shade basic 3D shapes given any light source, of course. It does you no good to know that a fold is a bendy cylinder if you don't know how to shade a cylinder.)

Learn the basic type of folds; learn the stress points on the body for the creation of the different type of folds; this way you can design them and aren't forced to only rely on reality which may not give you exactly what you want design-wise.

None of us gets through life without facing tragedy. But with it often comes an opportunity to turn something bad into something good. CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers reports on a Missouri man who did that - part of our "American Spirit" series.
In a crowded gym just outside Kansas City, Mo., 300 women and girls are learning to fight back.
They are there because of a girl most of them never met - Ali Kemp.
"We wanted to do this self-defense class in honor of Ali," said Roger Kemp, Ali Kemp's father and the founder of the Kemp TAKE Foundation, "because Ali fought and fought for her life."
But tragically 19-year-old Ali didn't make it. In 2002, the only daughter of Roger and Kathy Kemp was brutally raped and strangled at her neighborhood pool. Her parents faced the unimaginable: How to go on in a world without Ali.
To submit an idea for The American Spirit send us an e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
"Early on I realized you have two choices: You can pull the covers over your head and stay in bed, or you can get out and say you're going to fight it," Roger Kemp said. "And I fought it."
His first mission was to find Ali's killer. Two years passed and then Kemp had a revelation.
"I was driving by and saw a billboard near where Ali is buried and thought, 'Why not?'" he said.
He put up what looked like an old-fashioned wanted poster. Outdoor advertising company Lamar donated some of the billboards and a national trade group pushed them nationwide.
And it worked. The billboard generated tips that led police to the predator. Law enforcement took notice and Kemp's idea took off. Similar billboards are now up in 40 states.
But catching his daughter's killer wasn't enough for Kemp. He wanted to make sure other girls got the fighting chance his daughter did not.
He set up a foundation in Ali's name and began offering free self-defense training. Since 2005, more than 38,000 women in 15 states have learned basic skills.
Each year, the Kemp TAKE Foundation teams up with baseball's Kansas City Royals to hold a class at Kauffman Stadium.
Carolyn Regimand came to a recent training event with her two daughters Akarra and Sarra.
"I hope it never happens to me, but if it does, I'll know what to do," Sarra said.
Giving girls that sense of empowerment is what gives Roger Kemp a sense of purpose.
Kemp says he hopes his daughter would be proud of him.
"I'm sure proud of her," he said. "Her mother and I always thought she was going to make a difference in this world."
And she is making a difference to thousands of women around the country.

For example, a realtor may team up with a local landscaper to include a gift certificate for a free lawn care service inside the personal note. The new homeowners are pleasantly surprised by the gesture and will be inspired to tell their friends. Meanwhile, the lush lawn helps promote the landscaper's business.
If your business sells services to other businesses, you can earn referrals in lots of ways beyond doing a good job. This includes sharing your best practices so the customer is not beholden to you. Also, provide a transparent and easy to follow explanation for the ROI on the project.
2. Educate potential customers by sharing little known information
When you provide as much unbiased information as possible, you demonstrate your expertise and shorten the sales cycle because you're empowering customers to make the right decision for themselves.
If the education process leads them to decide that now is not the right time to make the purchase, this shouldn't be considered a loss. You've saved both parties a lot of time and have created goodwill that will translate to word-of-mouth referrals. And when they are ready to buy, they'll come back to you.
To engage lots of potential customers at once, share the questions you're frequently asked as well as those that aren't asked, yet should be. Include them on your website, in a special edition of your newsletter, and post them on Facebook to initiate dialog and inspire social sharing.
3. Master the art of the referral
It's quite simple and effective to add the "referrals welcome" line to your email signature, newsletters and Facebook page. But if you want to stand out among the competition, remember that actions speak louder than words.

Do you want my alternative, semi-serious take on Wednesday's Budget? My brief analysis of the growth figures and George Osborne's new pound coin? Here it is in 60 seconds.
The economy is healing, but we need to cement the recovery by encouraging and supporting our great British businesses. That's why the Chancellor is supporting businesses that are making things and selling them to the world... This was truly a budget for the doers and the makers.
I'll admit it. I'll go on record and say that I wouldn't consider myself to be hardworking. If future employers or future clients are reading this, then I'm sorry, but I'm not going to lie. I am many things, but I am not one of David Cameron's hardworking people...
With the fiscal situation still tight, and a year to go before an election in which the Chancellor will accuse the opposition of fiscal profligacy, it was never likely that this was going to be a particularly exciting budget - and so it proved.
In his budget speech, the Chancellor said that he wanted Britain to have more economic resilience. The economic recovery that his polices are delivering is unlikely to achieve this aim.
After decades of pensions and savings policy being the 'Cinderella' of Treasury priorities - George Osborne today unleashed reforms for the thrifty that are bound to capture the imagination of the very voters on which he now pins his hopes.
Whatever the merits of an overall cap on welfare spending and however it is going to work, it's clear that on its own it's not enough. This debate on welfare and poverty is taking the focus from where it is most needed - helping vulnerable children and their families.
This year's Budget has to create some movement in a positive direction for the many millions of people for whom the past six years have been cumulatively, increasingly difficult. Many people attending foodbanks have jobs. Too often those jobs are insecure, with uncertain hours. Poor people need better base pay, more employment security, more full time rather than part time work.
The Government has no money. Governments don't produce profits. High-net-worth individuals, businesses, pension funds and international wealth funds have the cash. We don't. That's why we must woo them, welcome them, give them a great reason for coming here and encourage them to invest this money in British businesses right now.
This week, in his budget speech, the UK Chancellor will refer to the usual need to reduce expenditure on social welfare and the deficit on public finances. One thing he won't talk about is the amounts spent on corporate welfare and how that is contributing to austerity, income and wealth inequalities, and deteriorating public finances.
George Osborne should focus on three things: improving the UK's start-up environment; making education more entrepreneurial; and boosting the industries with the potential to explode.
The Chancellor's plan to build Britain's first garden city in 100 years in Ebbsfleet has been welcomed by some with open arms. The promise of more homes in the south east is a good thing, but 15,000 new homes barely scratch the surface of the real number of properties needed across the country.
Not only should we question what the Conservative vision of a hard-working society looks like in reality, we should also remember who is evangelising it and why. When it comes to work and family backgrounds the Coalition cabinet could not be more unrepresentative of the run-of-the-mill British family.
If not specifics, then, what will the Chancellor be hoping to achieve with the Budget? He will want to try and convince voters that the economic recovery is bringing some benefits for them, their families and their households...
Next week George Osborne will announce his budget plans, and with the recovery gaining momentum I'm expecting great things. However, if we want to reap the benefits, provisions need to be made for the SMEs who pulled this country through the recession, starting with a targeted cut to the duty on diesel fuel.
General revolt against Ofsted is growing, with schools around the country (and their communities) saying that its processes are not fair or reasonable, its criteria arbitrary, and its inspections incredibly stressful and destructive.

I just bought a slash 4x4 ult. and I had it to 60 on telemetry a few days ago on 15/54 gearing then I switched to 19/54 and changed the gearing in the link app to match. And it showed 74mph on 2 different runs and I know there was no tire spin I rolled into it real slow and at the end of the run the right front tire lifted from body twist (need to tighten rear up i think) and it went to the right i let out and tried steering it out but couldnt and it blasted a curb at 60+. Im running a 3800 1410 on 3s. That think is a beast. I have a video but theres bad language on it from me and some friends lol. they couldnt believe how fast it was. i had to roll on throttle slow in order not to flip on top everytime lol. And would you believe all I broke was a steering link lol I couldnt believe that these things are tough!!

Poster - 'Ours to Maintain', circa 1990 Reg. No: HT 9999
- Summary:
- Poster illustrating and explaining the history of the Eight Hour Day movement. It was produced with assistance from the Visual Arts Board of the Australia Council, Australia Council of Trade Unions, Amalgamated Metal Workers Union, Australian Railway Union, Building Workers Industrial Union, Federated Engine Drivers and Firearm's Association and the New South Wales Teachers Federation.
Action taken by stonemasons on 21 April 1856 led to the establishment of the Eight Hour Day, with the government agreeing that workers employed on public works should enjoy an eight hour day with no loss of pay. It was a world first and became emblematic of the rights of labour. In recognition of the significance of this achievement, April 21 was made a public holiday in 1879 and commemorative marches were held each year from 1879 until 1951. The Eight Hour Day holiday was renamed Labour Day in 1934. In 1955 the Labour Day march and celebrations were replaced by Moomba celebrations.
- Description:
- Colour illustrated poster with various rally and recreational scenes set against a landscape background. A gold banner displays the title of the poster across the top. Various workers union emblems line the bottom of the poster, printed in gold. Text along left hand edge explains the history of the Eight Hour Day movement.

If I recall didn't MiceAge mention not too long ago that the Tron themed Peoplemover replacement was in consideration for a green light? While I love the idea of bringing an attraction back to the Peoplemover track I can't help but think that the lesson has not been learned that shoehorning theme after theme into one land totally degenerates the region as a whole.
A great way to fix this mess is to take one more fantasy-based attraction (Iron Man) that can provide a blanket theme for the whole region (50's-60's era Worlds Fair). At least this way even if there are a few out of theme attractions (Space Mtn, Star Tours, Tron, Buzz) you can overcome that chaos by building a blockbuster Iron Man attraction(s) for the guests to hypnotically gravitate to. Just like how RSR makes guests forget that Radiator Springs really doesn't have much to do with California.

With the deadline for the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to Greg Jamison passing yesterday without the team being purchased, so many fans are wondering when in the world this saga will end. "End" can mean a lot of things -- to most Canadian fans, "end" might mean relocation to Quebec City or Markham. For Phoenix fans, "end" obviously means for their team to be sold to a stable owner and to remain in Glendale. Part of the problem here isn't that someone hasn't been found, or at the people who have been bandied about as potential owners can't get the capital together -- the problem here is the fact that those who are potential owners have been trotted out by the NHL too often as the next hope for the Coyotes. Oh, Matthew Hulsizer? He'll buy the team! This'll be awesome! The league has total faith in... oh, never mind. Wait, Greg Jamison's buying the team! This is going to be so awesome -- as a matter of fact, let's trot him out for an interview in the middle of the Stanley Cup Playo...

The San Diego Padres still own the majors' worst record, but at least their season-worst losing streak is over. Padres right-hander Edinson Volquez would like to end his personal slide. Volquez will try to avoid losing a career high-tying fourth consecutive start Saturday when San Diego and the Arizona Diamondbacks continue their series at Petco Park. Back from a 1-9 trip, the Padres (18-35) snapped a six-game losing streak - the team's longest since a nine-game skid Aug. 24-Sept. 3 - with a 7-1 victory Friday. Sparked by Jesus Guzman's pinch-hit two-run homer, San Diego scored six runs in the eighth inning en route to its season-best third straight victory at Petco. "It's nice to see a lot of guys make contributions," manager Bud Black said. "I like the way we added on there in the eighth." Volquez (2-5, 3.46 ERA) will try to lead the Padres to their first 4-0 stretch in San Diego since sweeping Florida from Aug. 18-21. He has a 5.40 ERA in his last three starts, though, with...

The younger you are, the better you understand the digital landscape … or so the thinking goes:
- In your 20's, you're starting the next Facebook.
- In your 30's, you're a VC who sold your start up to Facebook, and are now investing in the next Facebook.
- In your 40's or 50's? … get the defibrillator, quick!
Does it really take a digital native to master a digital world? This idea is pretty pervasive, especially in the C-Suite. Fact is, we ALL need to be digitally savvy, from the Boardroom on down.
Boardroom bias alert!
Here are two high level comments overheard recently:
"… As a soon-to-be 50-year-old dinosaur, I'm not going to be able to understand this world in the way that the youngest generation understands it today …" – Global Vice Chair, Big 8 Accounting Firm
"…Hire a digital native to do it."– CMO Fortune 500 Company, re: staffing for social media
Perhaps these executives have just been too busy to be hands-on with the latest tools themselves, or simply feel that technology is best left to the next generation. Well, in business, silos are never good … and in this instance, it's a dangerous set of blinders to wear.
Social media participation has bottom line benefits
In fact, there's good reason for the C-Suite to personally get more invested in social networking.
Studies show that when the C-Suite is active on social media, it impacts trust, perception of leadership, brand image, and likelihood to buy for that organization. According to the 2012 Brandfog CEO, Social Media, and Leadership Survey*:
- 82% of respondents trust a company more when the CEO and leadership team communicate via social media
- 77% are more likely or much more likely to buy from a company whose CEO uses social media to clearly define company values and leadership principles.
- 94% said C-suite social media participation enhances a brand image.
(*Source: http://www.brandfog.com/CEOSocialMediaSurvey/)
These are some pretty major benefits. Clearly, it's time for all levels of an organization to start using new platforms to listen and create relationships.
Time to evolve? Start at the top.
If you head an organization, how about leading from the front? If you have been slow to adapt to this trend, make it your goal to learn. When you make digital literacy a personal priority, it raises the bar for everyone.
At the very least, if you are in a position to lead, invest in training. Just about everyone in an organization needs the following skills:
- Understand the online landscape,
- Comfort using social media to engage stakeholders,
- The ability to keep up with a constantly changing toolkit.
Companies that have enabled employees across the organization to interact on social platforms, such as Coke and Sprint, have seen dramatic dividends. For instance, the Sprint "Ninja" training program is credited with more engaged employees, and a documented improvement in company reputation. More companies should follow suit.
Digital skills can be mastered at any age … it simply requires a willingness to embrace new tools, starting at the top.

inflation is always the central banker's fault[edit]
Alan Greenspan says: "Although many factors may affect inflation in the short-run, inflation in the long-run, it is important to remind ourselves, is a monetary phenomenon."; Jean-Claude Trichet: "because in the long run inflation is a monetary phenomenon"; Ben Bernanke: "Ultimately, inflation is a monetary phenomenon, as suggested by Milton Friedman's famous dictum."
Mervyn King:"Over the 30 year horizon 1968-98, the correlation coefficient between the growth rates of both narrow and broad money, on the one hand, and inflation, on the other, was 0.99." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 12:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Calling it a monetary phenomenon is an euphemism, a roundabout way of recognizing the monetary authorities' responsability for inflation. In a central bank-cartelised fractional reserve banking system, inflation is always the central banker's fault. --126.96.36.199 14:16, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Actually the Austrian school does not believe that monetary inflation causes inflation, it believes that increase in the money supply is inflation. Money and Inflation
Milton Friedman, in "Money Mischief: Episodes in Monetary History", argues for a bimetallic standard on the grounds that the supply of two different metals is more stable than any single metal. A currency's stability is directly related to its monetary role as a "store of value"[1]. In an interview with Russ Roberts, Friedman has the following to say on monetary systems:
But that's why what you want—if possible—is a mechanical system. If there was any virtue to the gold standard, it was that virtue. Maybe you could create the same thing now. My favorite proposal really is a little bit more sophisticated—or less sophisticated if you want to look at it that way—than a straight increase in the quantity of money. I would—if I had my choice—freeze the amount of high-powered money. Not increase it.[2]
As the leading 20th century proponent of the Chicago School of Economics, Friedman et. al. were "intellectual heirs of the Austrian school of economics".
On these grounds I believe the last line under the heading "Monetary Inflation", which reads "while Austrian economics often calls for an end to fractional reserve banking and a return to some kind of gold standard." should be amended.
I don't agree at all. There is a great rift between Chicago and Vienna on the issue of commodity currencies. Friedman argues for any mechanism which ensures slow monetary growth, in "Capitalism and Freedom" he even mentions a computer program or a mathematical rule. But he is always talking of a centrally planned, centrally controlled money supply. Austrians talk of commodity currency not only to stem inflation, but also to take monetary policy out of the hands of governments. Rothbard was a great proponent of Free Banking, while Mises was more for the old gold standard, but both considered a virtue of gold that it tied the hands of central banks or directly made them irrelevant.

Can someone re-write this in English, using correct mathematical punctuation?[edit]
M.V = P.T M = Money Supply V = Velocity of Circulation P = Price level T = Transactions or Output As Monetarists assume that V and T are fixed
Monetary inflation vs Inflation[edit]
Define inflation as rising prices and you'll think that oil sheiks, credit cards and private businesses are the culprits and price controls are the answer. Define inflation in the classic fashion as an increase in the supply of money, with rising prices as a consequence, and you then have to ask the revealing question, "Who increases the money supply?" Only one entity can do that legally; all others are called "counterfeiters" and go to jail.
Nobel laureate Milton Friedman argued indisputably that inflation is always and everywhere a monetary matter. Rising prices no more cause inflation than wet streets cause rain. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 07:32, 4 March 2008 (UTC) inf
Politicization of the Term "Inflation"[edit]
Since central banks, or government treasury departments, directly cause inflation by debasing the national currency, these institutions have a vested political interest in redefining the term "inflation" as a rise in prices.
The reason the use of the word "inflation" has changed to mean "increasing prices" over the past 50-70 years is that Keynesian economics has been taught in universities around the world during the same time period. Keynes advocated creating economy growth by governments spending money they don't have. It is natural that the institutions that follow Keynesian policy have an incentive to blame inflation on something besides government policy. Thus the government defines inflation as an increase in the Consumer Price Index, instead of the increase of the money supply. The Consumer Price Index itself has been weighted to reduce the importance of food and fuel - the very sectors of the economy where the effects of inflation are always the most obvious.Cadwallader (talk) 21:08, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
It's been determined that Austrian School interpretrations are "fringe" but deserve to live on this separate page. Could editors please refrain from deleting material here, especially given that inflation has now been pared back. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 08:49, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- I don't agree it's vandalism. This article is supposed to be about monetary inflation, but goes on to effectively just rant about a bunch of stuff, rather than sticking to the term. Austrian school interpretations can be discussed on relevant pages, like Austrian school. It's not a free pass to just have "special" pages for Austrian interpretations. (Perhaps we could suggest establishing SpecialPedia for special thinking?)--Gregalton (talk) 09:22, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Or perhaps we should find you a sand box of your own, so that you might keep yourself from destroying every economics article on WP?
Misessus (talk) 22:12, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Specifics of inflation should probably remain here, but I'm going to suggest we concentrate the general discussion on Austrians at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Economics#Input_requested_regarding_Austrian_School.--CRETOG8(t/c) 16:57, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
The article Inflation says For increases in the money supply or debasement of the currency, see monetary inflation. We have a separate article on debasement but we should perhaps bring these articles together since the concepts are much the same. As a matter of language, inflation refers best to prices (which go up) while debasement better expresses the effect in terms of money - it is worth less. Colonel Warden (talk) 13:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Debasement referred to the physical debasment of gold and silver coins, which were melted down and mixed with lesser metals. Inflation referred to the printing of new paper money, which increased the money supply just as the debasement did. However, as it was not as concrete and action as melting down gold coins, it was given a different term.
Equating inflation with the rise in prices is a modern phenomenon, following the scientification of economics by the mainstream schools. During the first 100 years of its use, the word inflation had nothing to do with rising prices. But that is something you're not supposed to point out here on WP.
Misessus (talk) 22:20, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Austrian view[edit]
Why there is a continuing attempt to remove all mentions of Austrian view on monetary inflation from this article? -- Vision Thing -- 21:37, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- Because people like Gregalton, LK, JQ and others are afraid people will start to question their ideological agenda.
- Another question would be what consensus JQ and Gregalton are claiming on this article. Of all the people I've encountered in discussions on economic theory, I don't think I've ever met anyone who could much Greg, LK and JQ. It really makes see how dangerous it is that so many people put so much faith in what they read on WP.
Misessus (talk) 22:08, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
The role of the Central Bank and Fractional Reserve Banking[edit]
This section is entirely about the Austrian view rather than, you know, the role of the central bank. I realize that the Austrian minded visitors want to make sure their view is represented and in fact this is a more appropriate place than Inflation. However there is still undue weight here and the article reads like a political pamphlet. A section on the role of Central Bank should talk about how a Central Bank actually affects money supply - say, some discussion of OMO, discount window, monetary base vs. money supply and so on. Some other problems: "Inflation targeting is advised by followers of the monetarist school," - I'm not sure there really is such a thing as a "monetarist school" anymore and in fact Inflation targeting is a, well, "post-Monetarist" idea. The obvious difference is that monetarists wanted to target growth rate of money supply while inflation targeting targets... wait for it... wait for it...Inflation! That'd be price inflation too. I left it in for now but it's inaccurate. "Given that in almost all modern economies the central government "borrows" money from the central bank to fund deficit spending, in reality there are only two ways a modern government can fund its activities" - the sentence is either wrong or gives a misleading impression. While almost all modern economies government might borrow *some* money from the central bank it's by no means the sole means of borrowing money - most of which is obtained from private investors.radek (talk) 02:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Definition comprehension[edit]
Someone clean up the definition of inflation please so it can be better comprehended. WinterSpw (talk) 04:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
Inflation is a mess[edit]
I'm wading through the refuse, trying to pick up some gems and giving them a shine. Not much is left. Obviously, Austrians would argue that the ghetto-ization of their views is disappointing, demeaning, demoralizing...depressing. But even within the ghetto, we should try to get it right. I've given it a crack. It's a very light-on article, and no one should have a problem with these relatively minor edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ron Paul...Ron Paul... (talk • contribs) 08:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
Inflation is the increase of the units of a currency, e.g. increase of the amount of dollars.

In addition to tube worms, the team documented deep-sea fish, mussels, clam beds and high densities of crabs.
Because so little is known about the deep ocean, the researchers say it's likely that other hybrid or "mosaic" ecosystems remain undiscovered, possibly with marine life specialized to live in such environments.
"Plenty of surprises are left in the deep sea," said Levin. "There are new species, and almost certainly new ecosystems, hidden in the oceans."
The human presence in Alvin, a submersible, deep-diving research craft was key to the findings.
"The site had been visited by other researchers using remotely-operated vehicles," said Levin, "but it wasn't until human eyes saw shimmering water flowing under a tubeworm 'bush' that we really understood how special Jaco Scar is."

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Air Force announced Wednesday that it is changing how it selects officers and instructors who train new recruits after a sex scandal at its training headquarters in which dozens of female recruits said they were improperly approached, sexually harassed or raped by male instructors.
Maj. Gen. Margaret Woodward, who investigated the Air Education and Training Command, said the biggest failure came from bad instructors who took advantage of a weak oversight system and the officers who did not adequately supervise them to catch the abuses.
"Interviews revealed that some (instructors) lacked the experience necessary to effectively serve as mentors and leaders and had little to no supervisory experience," the investigation concluded. "This lack of experience is considered particularly relevant when a single (instructor) is generally responsible for a flight of 50 or more trainees."
The investigation found that 23 instructors allegedly engaged in inappropriate or coercive sexual relationships with 48 recruits at Lackland Air Force base near San Antonio. Five people have been convicted in court martials on charges ranging from adultery to rape. Another person received administrative punishment, and additional instructors still could face criminal charges.
All U.S. airmen report to Lackland for basic training. It has about 500 instructors for about 35,000 airmen who graduate every year. While one in five recruits are women, most instructors are men.
In a written response to the investigation, the commander in charge of training, Gen. Edward Rice Jr., said the Air Force will add more and better officers to supervise training units and require enlisted troops who hold instructor jobs to have more seniority. Instructors will also be expected to monitor each other to look for signs that abuse is taking place and the Air Forces plans to recruit one female instructor for every three males.
"The susceptibility to the abuse of power is well-documented, not just here but in any situation of its type. And we believe we can do more to both equip each individual with the sort of warning signals they should be looking out for among their fellow airmen and taking ownership of the responsibility to monitor not just their own behavior, but also those around them in a way that when someone doesn't meet our standards, they intervene early," Rice said at a news conference in Washington.

2010 Subaru Impreza Q&A
2010 Subaru Impreza Question: Process to installing fog lights in my 2010 Impreza 2.5i?
I would like to install fog lights in my 2010 Impreza 2.5i because of course the base model does not come with them. Can anyone tell me what the process is to installing/ordering them. Do I need a kit or just the lights themselves and price on this. Also, does a toggle need to manually installed or do the fogs come on automatically when the headlights are on. Any feedback is welcome! Thanks. - Larivee19
Answer 1
The foglight kit is complete with everything you need - two foglights with bulbs, a replacement turnsignal stalk (the foglight controls are on the turnsignal stalk), and the fasteners needed for the installation. You can buy two foglights off Ebay (with the plastic mounting brackets) or from a wreckers - where you can get the switch too... and figure it out yourself. Or get the complete kit from your friendly neighborhood Subaru dealer. Kit is about 250, IIRC. With the switch turned on, they come on when the lowbeam lights are on. They turn off when the high beams turn off. I leave mine off, except when needed.. - The Snowman

Shareholders sue DreamWorks over DVD
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc (DWA.N: Quote, Profile, Research) on Thursday was hit with its first shareholder lawsuit since going public -- a proposed class action accusing company officers of misrepresenting DVD sales for "Shrek 2."
The lawsuit filed in Los Angeles federal court says DreamWorks Chief Executive Jeffrey Katzenberg and board Chairman Roger Enrico failed to disclose in the first quarter that sales of "Shrek 2" DVDs were declining far more than expected.
The suit says DreamWorks continued to ship the title "far in excess of the actual demand" and hid the fact that retailers were returning "massive amounts" of unsold DVDs.
DreamWorks spokesman Bob Feldman said the company had not seen the lawsuit but called the claims "baseless."Join a discussion on this article here."Shrek 2" has logged sales of 35 million to date.
Shares of DreamWorks Animation dropped another 7 percent on Tuesday and were trading at $29.74 on Thursday, after last weekend's theatrical debut of "Madagascar" failed to meet analysts' expectations.

Hello all,
I have been working as a photojournalist for over 6 years.
In that time I have supplied photos to most of the UK's magazines and newspapers.
I'm looking at spending more time covering fashion and putting together high fashion collaborations / projects - as I find this more fun and rewarding than photographing the same old politicians over and over.
I'm looking to do some TFCD work with the right models & I hope to hear from You!!!

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind.
Firstly, thanks for clicking on my profile. The headline is not mine as you probably know. It is from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by Shakespeare. And it goes on to say: "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind." A bit more about me now. First and foremost, I am a gentleman. Unfortunately, many people (men and women) on these dating websites seem to have forgotten what that means. I like good food, wine, Scotch, poetry and math. Chocolate, Florida and the sea are musts in my life. I grew up on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean. I moved to the U.S. when I was 17 and have lived here ever since. I am well educated. I went to college and grad schools in Pennsylvania and New York City. I went to Pennsylvania State University for undergrad and grad in Electrical Engineering and New York University for my Master of Business Administration. I started my professional life as an electrical engineer. I worked as an engineer for 6 years in Florida. After obtaining my MBA in New York, I started to work as a consultant in financial services in Manhattan. I lived in Manhattan for almost 5 years. Now, I moved back to Florida as I wanted to be in an area with warmer weather and be closer to the ocean in which I can actually swim without freezing my behind off. However, I love both NYC and South Florida. I'm a consultant so my work involves a lot of traveling. Currently I'm traveling to Connecticut weekly on a regular basis. It's not always like this though. There are stretches where I work from home for a while. I don't go out too often, but when I do, I like to go to a nice place, like a nice restaurant or a classy bar. I like fine dining. But, I cook often and expect my lady to at least show some interest in cooking, not only for financial reasons but also for health reasons. I prefer lounges and classy bars to clubs. I do go to clubs every now and then though. I am not a big traveler (well I do travel for work like a madman) but again, I wouldn't mind it every now and then. The idea here is that everything should be done in moderation.though I believe I can be romantic. I like to make a lady feel good about herself and our relationship. I like sunsets. I like deep conversations. I like mornings but I have hard time getting up in the mornings though :). I am not into watching sports that much. I don't have any favorite teams and don't like to watch games on TV except for some very special game like a Superbowl with friends. In summary, I am an honest, loving, caring and respectful person who is looking for an honest, loving, caring and respectful lady. Physical attraction is essential but no healthy relationship can be sustained with a person who has no content. It will be great to date first and see where it goes from there. I am always open for a long term relationship and marriage with the right woman. Thanks for taking the time and reading.

All of you knows Jonelo, the master of the screens, so we ussually play together and he ask me if i can explain you how i could make the Sli worls.
I registered here, and i got a bad surprise when i see that i was the only one who runs crysis with Sli enabled.
1680x1050, VISTA32 updated, ForceWare 169.01 beta
Frist of all, FORGET NHANCER, uninstall it, nhancer was obsolete. dont help to manage sli at all, you should get less performance with nhancer.
Then clean registry , clean all nhancer remainings.
Then uninstall your current display drivers from vista panel control, reboot and clean the registry. For that cleaning i ussually use CCleaner, there are a lot of registry cleaners out there, but ccleaner dont make mistakes and clean what you need.
So then install normally 169.01 or 169.04 new beta forcewares. after usually reboot, enter Nvidia control panel and ENABLE SLI, you got a blank screen, dont turn off the computer... WAIT
If you got a popup from Vista askin you to hibernate the system , cancel the action.
When Sli is on for first time, you can fell it cause all the icons of your desktop messed up.
Then Go to Nvidia Control Panel 3D SLi profiles, search crysis one, and i only touch two things from there, ALWAYS in all games I pick up the SINGLE DISPLAY MODE, cause i run in a single monitor.
Then cause in crysis i put AA off, i turn off too AA gamma correction in drivers. Aply the two changes and you got Crysis running in SLI with the usually 80% increased performance.
I run with Sli in 95% of games, Sli works great.
English isnt my mother language so if you understand me is enought
What you guys may have done is mix up your screenshots. The high FPS one is running on Single GPU, and the lower one is running either AFR2 or AFR1.
You should check your CP again, and you will probably see that under the crysis profile, it is running as Single GPU. This is the setting to get good performance. If you change it to any of the SLI modes, the performance will drop like a rock.

Caleb will need to muster all his strength to take down the mighty Tchernobog, who has managed to free himself from the grip of death. Death Wish is a new campaign for Blood with over 30 new levels, cut scenes, and more. All levels have been modified for Co-op play. The entire mod was developed by a single mapper, ensuring consistency and quality.

Amazing mod.
Out of the 30 levels I think there maybe only 1 or 2 I didn't like as much. Otherwise it's solid all the way through.
There is an amazing variety of environments all with different well executed atmospheres and interesting well thought layouts.
Gameplay is always fun and health-ratio is pretty much perfect in every map.
There is also some neat effects here and there and tons of secrets to find in each level.
A must play for any fan of Build engine games.
Mar 24th, 2013 1 person agrees 0 people don't
This mod is definitely the best!
Dec 3rd, 2011 1 person agrees 0 people don't
Oh. My. and-know-the-rest. ModDB is going to let other mods compete against this for game for the year?! Those poor bastards. Those poor, poor bastards...
Nov 19th, 2011 1 person agrees 0 people don't
Incredibly varied level design and challenging use of enemy types. Death wish throws a lot of enemies at the player at a time, which is fantastic. Installation is simple, too. If you own and enjoy Blood, you absolutely need to play through these levels.
Nov 15th, 2011 1 person agrees 0 people don't
Straight up one of the best things I have ever played. It has plenty of horror references, excellent mapping, fun gameplay, and an excellent style that easily puts it above most mods. Even the weakest maps are still very, very good and the strong ones are simply amazing. Bloatoid should be hired, given a couple million, an engine, and a memo telling him to go nuts. Easily mod of the year, perhaps even mod of the decade. Sure we have nine more years, but it will be very hard to top this one.
Nov 12th, 2011 1 person agrees 0 people don't
Thank you for this!
Nov 11th, 2011 1 person agrees 0 people don't
This is probably the best set of levels for Blood ever made. The author has really matured from his previous map packs, both in terms of level design as well as just overall presentation. Some levels really push the boundaries of what the Build engine can do, and the way the mod includes referential levels (you will probably recognize the references when you see them) provides a nice variation when playing, not to mention the second episode really goes into places that Blood hasn't gone before. It's pretty hard overall, but then again Blood has always been hard.
If you like Blood or just Build engine games overall, you really owe yourself to play this.
Nov 2nd, 2011 1 person agrees 0 people don't
This is quite simply the best user made expansion for Blood that I have ever play. The levels are long and varied and are packed full of detail. On top of that there are tricks done using the Build engine that even a long time veteran like myself have never seen.
It can be tough at times but thankfully there's good difficulty scaling for those looking for more or less of a challenge than the default setting. Co-op is really fun and well implemented as well.
For anyone who's a fan of Blood or any of the classic first person shooters this mod is an absolute must play.

Incredibly inventive and surprised me every time I turned a corner. Great use of such an old engine to do such impressive things!
Also, punishing as hell, but rewarding!

ATLANTA -- A report released this week from the Georgia Department of Education named 78 of the state's lowest performing public schools, a document that includes Gwinnett InterVention Center East, Gwinnett InterVention Center West and Meadowcreek High School.
A representative with the state board of education said the 78 facilities were designated as priorities because they were "among the lowest in the state in terms of achievement measures" such as graduation rates and test scores.
Justin Pauly,a spokesman with the state board of education, said the schools will remain on the priority list for three years, during which time the facilities must offer a flexible learning program, develop a corrective action program, communicate with parents about the school's status, share data and explain to parents how they can get involved.
Pauly said the state will offer assistance during the three-year stint.
The labels of priority schools, focus schools, alert schools and reward schools will replace the designations used in the federal No Child Left Behind initiative. President Barack Obama granted waivers for the federal mandates in February.
Schools once targeted by No Child Left Behind as "needs improvement" will be replaced by the new designations.
Two of the three local schools that made the list are alternative schools which are for students on long-term suspension for disciplinary matters, according to Sloan Roach, spokesperson for Gwinnett County Public Schools.
Roach said students at GIVE Centers East and West may "spend a semester or a year" at the schools.
She said the district is "working with the department of education to learn more about this new category and to see what we can do to support these schools as well."

I'm sure glad that our Dear Leader Obama has sent inspectors into the schools to check the lunches of our students.
Actually, our founding fathers got it right in the 10th amendment. The Federal Government needs to keep its nose out of education. The more the Federal Bureaucrats get involved, the worse things will get.

My sister, upon her retirement from one of the better middle schools in the country (in another state) remarked that in her teaching career the kids hadn't changed much over the years, but the parents sure had. Meadowcreek has a few of the finest students (predominantly of Asian and Middle Eastern descent) and many of the worst examples of this, and student results appear to be direct reflections of what they're seeing at home. My best example of that is having to explain to a mom that teaching her kid to steal fruit from a neighbor's tree was an abhorrent and disgusting and totally unacceptable act that would not be tolerated, period. Rotten useless parents beget same.
The school system itself is not blameless. Years ago we had streets clogged with illegally parked student vehicles and open warfare (fights among them) after school let out. After the school ignored efforts to develop a "neighborhood partnership" we started to push back HARD and progress ensued. We had a stolen car ring busted, no parking during school hours signs put up (strongly enforced – we've had as many as seven towed at a time), numerous gang punks permanently taken down (there is no wimpy juvenile justice slap-on-the-wrist treatment under RICO federal racketeering law), and we broke the story that Resource Officers were immediately beholden to school principals (less crime reported means better funding) and not their Police chain of command. The last I heard I was tied for most property maintenance complaints filed – thanks for the godsent Quality of Life Unit. Shortly thereafter most of our problems went up the street, to the neighborhood of the grand senior lady of the school board. They now have a COPS program in place – imagine that.
Indeed, everyone in Gwinnett should expect significantly better of Meadowcreek – SOON!

MIDDLEBURY-Sixth-grader Meigan Clark of the Mary Hogan Elementary School in Middlebury became the Vermont state spelling champ on March 16.
She successfully spelled the word "scurrilous"-making or spreading scandalous claims about someone-at the Vermont State Individual Spelling Bee competition held at the McCarthy Arts Center at St. Michael's College in Colchester.
In the end, Clark outdid her closest competitor Samantha Storz of Kirby, a student at the Stevens School of Peacham, in the 31st round. When Storz stumbled on spelling the word "manteau"-a loose cloak or mantle-Clark became the victor.
Clark was the winner of a new laptop, a trophy, and the chance to attend the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., held in May.
The bee was sponsored by the Vermont Department of Education, Vermont Principals' Association, Vermont Humanities Council, St. Michael's College, Burlington Free Press, FairPoint Communications and Dunkin Donuts.
Elementary and middle school students (through grade 8) under the age of 16 were eligible to participate in this competition. Students from across Vermont who participated in the bee have already competed in their regional bees this winter.
All of the 42 students who compete in the national spelling bee will receive cash prizes ranging from $50 to the $12,000 championship prize.
Following her Vermont victory, Clark began preparing for the national bee in Washington. The big event will include a much longer and more complex list of words.
Can you spell s-t-r-e-s-s-e-d?

In this course, Pulitzer-nominated photographer Natalie Fobes takes viewers into the studio and on location to explore the many elements that combine to make an effective photo.
The course explores compositional elements that guide a viewer's eye, including the rule of thirds; leading lines, patterns, and curves; and depth of field. Natalie then details the roles of color and light in a photo. She shows how to work with the natural light in a room or outdoor location, and how to enhance it using reflectors, newspapers, a T-shirt, or whatever might be handy. She also shows some simple indoor lighting setups that can replicate the look of natural light.
The course continues with a look at movement and how a photographer can convey a sense of motion by blurring part of the image or freezing a fast-moving subject. Next, Natalie explores the concepts of peak action and the decisive moment—those split seconds that capture the essence or emotion of a subject or scene. The course wraps up with a discussion of the roles of planning and research in creating effective photos.
I love black-and-white photography. It's all I shot for years. I learned to see in black and white while watching an old black-and-white TV set in my living room. I discovered how different colors translate into different shades of gray. Do you remember the colors of these folders? The conversion may not be quite what you expect. The blues are lighter, the reds are darker, and in the old days of film, we adjusted for this with filters. For example, to darken a blue sky, we would use the yellow or red filter.
Now, this is still possible if you choose to capture in a black-and-white mode of your digital camera. But you know what? With digital photography you can turn any photograph into a black-and-white image simply by adjusting the saturation in your processing software. So for this reason, I recommend that you shoot RAW in color to have the maximum flexibility when you process your images. The question you should ask yourself though is, why do you want your photo in black and white? Here are some of the reasons I choose black-and-white.
The message in my photograph will have much more impact. This photograph is so striking that I think color would've gotten in the way. The lighting is so bad that it distracts from the image. Evenly lit florescent rooms are a killer. The textures and shapes will support the composition and add interest. The texture of the ivy contrasts very nicely with that of the doll's face. Another reason is that the treatment will add artistic value to the final print.
This looked, felt, and smelt like a scene from the 1940s. Now if you're going to convert your images to black and white, there are some things you should consider when you're shooting. Black-and-white photos can be made under any light, but you will probably be a bit more successful if you shoot in soft light without intense shadows, like on a cloudy day or after sunset or before sunrise. But please, don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that high-contrast light never produces great black and white--it does.
This shot was taken at 3 in the afternoon. You just have to make sure that your exposure gives you details in the shadows without overexposing the highlights. So now that we've talked about the why, let's talk about the how. In the next video I will show you some ways to convert your RAWs to black and white.
