The impact of natural disasters on child health and investments in rural India
There is growing concern that climate change will lead to more frequent natural disasters that may adversely affect short- and long-term health outcomes in developing countries. Prior research has primarily focused on the impact of single, large disaster events but very little is known about how small and moderate disasters, which are more typical, affect population health. In this paper, we present one of the first investigations of the impact of small and moderate disasters on childhood morbidity, physical growth, and immunizations by combining household data on over 80,000 children from three waves of the Indian National Family and Health Survey with an international database of natural disasters (EM-DAT). We find that exposure to a natural disaster in the past month increases the likelihood of acute illnesses such as diarrhea, fever, and acute respiratory illness in children under 5 year by 9–18%. Exposure to a disaster in the past year reduces height-for-age and weight-for-age z-scores by 0.12–0.15 units, increases the likelihood of stunting and underweight by 7%, and reduces the likelihood of having full age-appropriate immunization coverage by nearly 18%. We also find that disasters' effects vary significantly by gender, age, and socioeconomic characteristics. Most notably, the adverse effects on growth outcomes are much smaller among boys, infants, and families with more socioeconomic resources.

With his mother no longer alive, Rodney Hughes searches for his missing father, whom he has never known nor met. But a birth certificate in his possession states that his father is the one and only, Rodney King. Rodney Hughes must gather enough proof and go through a DNA test to see if the man whose trial triggered the famous 1992 Los Angeles Riots is indeed his Biological Father.
Beating the Legacy is a documentary that explores the pain suffered by a young man looking for his father who may be Rodney King. The purpose of the film is to help those looking for family member(s) or come to terms with admitting a family member exist.
Plot:Los Angeles native, Rodney Hughes, goes on a journey to find his father in Vinark Motion Pictures and BadStar Studios' BEATING THE LEGACY, a moving and inspirational documentary from upcoming Director Kevin Parkinson.
This real life story was Director Kevin Parkinson's Thesis film at The Savannah College of Art and Design.
Release Date: May 1 2012Genre: DocumentaryCast: Rodney Hughes, Dene King, Elaine Woodhouse, Rodney KingDirector: Kevin ParkinsonWriter: Kevin ParkinsonMPAA: PGStudio: Vinark Motion Pictures and BadStar Studios
In 2009 Sherrie Shelton and Kevin Parkinson produced a Documentary on the state of Black College students. We wanted to offer an unbiased opinion of the often overlooked experience of the Black student attending college in America.
After his graduation, a young man comes home to find a surprise party in his honor, his family asked if he has considered red college. After the party the young man looks to TV for answers and while flipping through channels he discovers a documentary on attending a HBCU (Historically Black College and University), intrigued he decides to watch and we learn valuable information along with him.
Synopsis: After an annual meeting at the 'Valley of The Queens', Queen Nerfertari and Nefertiti come to the conclusion that the future generations of the world need a spiritual awakening. Queen Nefertari decides to time travel to the future to find a young person she can inspire to positively influence the new generations. In the future, Nefertari meets Romell, a student filmmaker struggling to finally make a good film. She tries to influence him to use his platform to better the world.
I wanted to produced a film that was rich in visuals and stimulus; I want to present the idea that hive minded culture and thinking weakens those encompassed in it and worse, the next generation. On the surface Valley Of The Queens is a light heart'ed fictional comedy about Queen Nefertari of 18th dynasty Egypt, time traveling. Her time in the future and her return home. In actuality, the story explores the difficulties in trying to think as an enlightened individual when no one cares about true individuality and critical analysis. Queen Nefertari has no idea how much harder this is said than done. Never before in my tenure have I held so much knowledge about film language, I will use this production to implement as much of it as possible(I wrote, produced and directed this in 2010). The most interesting factor will be the play on exposition and the effect its tone will have on the entire film; If the rest of the film's tone is different.

Skill Level Beginner
So now from the Appearance panel's perspective, we understand that objects themselves have different appearances, such as, fills and strokes. We know that there is a stacking order even inherently within a single object itself and that we could adjust or change that stacking order using the Appearance panel. We also briefly discussed this concept that's something called a target, like we discussed before, the word Path over here refers to the fact that this is now the target; the path is the target. So let's discuss exactly what the word Targeting means. As we actually start to learn about groups and layers, the word Targeting becomes far more important.
Even on an individual level here, I'm working with a single object because of the targeting is important. Let's take a basic example. I have this overall shape and maybe I want to change its opacity. So, for example, I can come over here to the Opacity over here in the Control panel and maybe I could change the opacity of the overall object to maybe 50%. So that means now that I can see through that whole shape, if I were to put another shape behind this or better yet. If I go to the View menu, I could turn on something called the Transparency Grid. That allows me to select a checkerboard pattern, almost like Photoshop has, and you could see that I could really see through the object itself; the object is now truly transparent.
Let's say, however, I want only the Fill to be transparent but not the Stroke to be transparent. Maybe I want a full- strength stroke, but I want the Fill to be somewhat transparent. So in the past, you may have thought that you would have to create two shapes, right now we create a shape that has a transparent fill. Then I would create a second shape that has a non-transparent stroke with no fill on top of that. Well, now in Illustrator, using the Appearance panel and this concept called Targeting, I don't need to do that. So I'm going to press Undo, so I'm going to come back now to my full-strength of the whole object. The object itself has no opacity. What I'm going to do though right now is I'm going to click on just the Fill itself or I'm going to target just my fill. Now I'll change the Opacity to 50%. When I do so, you will see that the stroke stays at full strength, but only the Fill change is in opacity.
In fact, if you look over here in the Fill itself, it's a little twirl down, right little triangle. If I click on that, I see that the fill itself has a separate opacity setting of 50%, while the overall opacity of the path itself has default opacity setting. So when you think about it right now, the shape itself has two opacity settings. The overall shape has default opacity but the fill has its own opacity setting. In reality, if you click on this little twirl down here next to the stroke, you will see that the stroke also has a default opacity. In fact, to make things more complicated, every object really at a very basic level has three opacity settings: an opacity setting for the overall object as a whole, an opacity setting for the fill and an opacity setting for the stroke as well, and each of those are different.
So just because I make some opacity across the whole object, does not actually mean that I can have something different also within that object there as well. But that's why this whole concept of targeting becomes even more important as we start to learn more about doing more complex things inside of Illustrator. I'll find that I can apply certain attributes or certain things to a target; that target could not only be a single object in a group, it could be a single attribute like a fill or a stroke inside of a single object. That really becomes significant when you think about the fact that, well objects can really have more than just a single fill and a single stroke, objects can have multiple fills and multiple strokes.
So now in the next movie, we will discuss what that concept brings to the table.

This really ticks me off because I'm still paying $4,000 dollars that I purchased it for and have no ability to finance another computer at all. So purchasing is out also because I am disabled and on a fixed income. I cannot find any replacement motherboard. One company offers it, but must pay, $500.00 or more fore them to come up with it. That is the projected cost of the motherboard only, with an additional $130.00 labor or service contract. I find it very peculiar that a computer manufacturer builds computers and after a year and a half later no longer has repair parts. It was also financed by Dell Financing but Dell does not repair this type of computer. Am I out of luck or what?

#1 Consumer Suggestion
When on a limited budget, always stick with industry standard stuff
AUTHOR: Steve - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 25, 2011POSTED: Monday, April 25, 2011
If you rely on fast and cheap repair and/or replacement, you need to stick with industry standard stuff.
Alienware is a Dell product that is designed exclusively for gamers.
If you are not into gaming, there was no reason to buy this unit in the first place.
My advice now is to just buy a replacement unit.
They are now about half the cost that they were 1.5 years ago, and much better equipped.
Shop your office supply stores for sales, and "special buys".
I recently saw an HP machine with the Quad core processor, 1TB HD, 6GB ram and a bundle of goodies including a widescreen flat panel monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse,etc. for $579.99 at Staples. That was 3-4 weeks ago.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#2 Consumer Comment
Out of luck..Possibly
AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, April 25, 2011POSTED: Monday, April 25, 2011
Although I would possibly get a second opinion. I am not familar specifically with that motherboard, but for it to not power up at all sounds like a possibility of a power issue. In doing some quick searches having a bad DC Input jack seems to be somewhat common, not only is the part very cheap(from about $3-$40). It should also be simpler to find someone to do the replacement.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Whether you want a completely relaxing couple of weeks in the sun or a more active break, there will be something in Dubai to keep you entertained.
And you'll certainly have something to write home about in this larger than life city - whether it is visiting the world's tallest building Burj Khalifa, spotting a celebrity in a hotel bar or braving the world's fastest rollercoaster. You'll be spoilt for choice when looking at places to stay as luxurious five-star hotels in Dubai strive to give their guests the best possible experience.
For the ultimate indulgence there's even the seven-star all suite Burj Al Arab. Families will enjoy whooshing down the slides and riding the rapids in one of the city's two waterparks. Wild Wadi Waterpark has waterslides, wave pools and surfing simulators, while daredevils will love hurtling down the 25.7m tall Leap of Faith slide in the newer Aquaventure waterpark, which shoots riders into a transparent tunnel through a shark-filled lagoon.
Active travellers can spend their days on world-class golf courses or enjoying watersports.
And keen skiers can visit Ski Dubai - an indoor snow centre in the Mall of the Emirates - or, for something different, try sandboarding in the desert. Or, perhaps your idea of a perfect holiday is to lounge in the sun, swim and occasionally have a cocktail or snack?
Well, you'll be right at home next to one of Dubai's luxurious hotel pools or on a white-sand beach. And to complete a relaxing day, you could slip along Dubai creek in a wooden dhow boat while sipping wine and taking in the views. And then there's the shopping. The city's air-conditioned malls will be a shopaholic's dream selling everything from designer clothes to electronics.
It is possible to spend whole days in the malls too as restaurants and leisure options - such as amusement arcades, cinemas and aquariums - sit next to the shops. For a different experience, there are also souks next to Dubai Creek selling textiles, gold, herbs and spices.
Other highlights include going on a 4x4 desert safari, visiting Palm Jumeirah Island - a palm-tree-shaped manmade island, and taking a trip to Ferrari World - the world's biggest indoor theme park.
Flights to Dubai from the UK take around 7 hours, arriving into Dubai International Airport (DBX). If you are planning a trip to Dubai this year and need some help, read our fact file below and use TravelSupermarket's search tool to find the cheapest deals.
Flights from Manchester | Room only | Departing October 3
With year-round sunshine and high temperatures, Dubai is a great destination for some much-needed winter sun.

Somehow they got around that to take funds out of my account at an even higher payment than I was paying before! I've written letters and talked to customer service people at this company to no avail. They've now sent my account to a collection agency who is threatening to sue me. I don't know what I can do to stop this legal nightmare. If anyone has any suggestions I sure would be open to them.

The 34-year-old Manchester United defender made his debut in 1997, and had represented his country at three World Cups.
But the latter years of his international career were dogged by bitterness and controversy, following a falling out with fellow central defender John Terry and his strained relationship with manager Roy Hodgson.
Hodgson said, however, that he had been grateful for a phone call from Ferdinand to explain his decision.
"It is important to pay tribute to someone of Rio's stature and the achievements he had in a senior international career with England over 14 years at the highest level," Hodgson said.
"To have captained his country, to play at three World Cups and indeed score in one of those, marks him out amongst a very special group of players.
"I appreciated the call from Rio to inform me of his decision, which clearly he had spent much time considering before reaching this point.
Ferdinand is out of contract with Manchester United in the summer but is optimistic of penning a new deal at Old Trafford in the coming weeks.
He has not played for his country since June 2011. He was famously left out of Hodgson's Euro 2012 squad for 'football reasons', though it came against the backdrop of Terry's court case for a racially aggravated public order offence against his brother Anton.
Impressive form for his club earned Ferdinand an England recall in March - but the defender dropped out of the squad for the two World Cup qualifiers against San Marino and Montenegro, and upset some fans by flying to Qatar to work as a pundit on the San Marino game instead.
Ferdinand said in an FA statement: "After a great deal of thought, I have decided the time is right for me to retire from international football.
"At the age of 34, I feel it is right for me to stand aside and let the younger players come through, which allows me to concentrate on my club career.
"The team looks in great shape and there is an influx of young, talented players coming through the ranks which bodes well for the future.
"I regard it as a great honour and a privilege to have represented my country at every level from U17s upwards.
"I have always been very proud to play for England. I would like to wish Roy and the team all the best for future tournaments.
"A big thank you to all the fans, managers, coaching staff and players that I have worked alongside - the journey has been incredible."

Bedwetting Myths Debunked (cont.)
That's because myths abound when it comes to bed-wetting and they often prevent children from getting the proper help, says Alan Greene, MD, an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at Stanford University in Stanford, Calif., and author of several books including the forthcoming From First Kicks to First Steps.
WebMD talked to leading pediatricians to debunk some of the more common myths and address parental concerns about bed-wetting. Here's what we uncovered:
There's something wrong with my 3-year-old!
"Bed-wetting is very common in younger kids, in fact, it is so common that it is even considered normal before age 5," Greene says. "Nighttime dryness is the last part of toilet learning that kids achieve," he adds. At ages 6 and below, bed-wetting only needs to be addressed if the child is feeling really bad about himself as a result, he says.
"As adults, when the bladder gets full, it sends a signal to brain to wake up or you start dreaming about water or going to bathroom and then you wake up, but for kids the signal isn't quite strong enough to get them awake," Greene says.
That's why "it is normal for kids to wet the bed," agrees Charles I. Shubin, director of the children's health center at Mercy FamilyCare in Baltimore, Md. "By age 6, one out of six or seven will do it."
He adds that bed-wetting is "a developmental issue and therefore the treatment is time, so for kids age 6 or under, they will most likely grow out of it."
Parents need to realize that "to some extent this is a social problem and in a more primitive setting, it would not matter," Shubin tells WebMD.
In other words, "if a 3-year-old is not bothered by wearing a pull-up at night, then don't bother him about it," says Oschner Clinic Foundation pediatrician Michael Wasserman, MD, of New Orleans. But "if it's a 6-year-old and he or she is afraid that a buddy will make fun of him because of bed-wetting, then it becomes an issue."
Don't Blame the Victim
"It makes matters worse when parents yell and scream at their children for what they do in their deep sleep," Shubin says.
And some parents still believe that bed-wetting is the child's fault. In fact, the NKF estimates that 35% of bed-wetters are punished by their parents for wetting the bed and that's the worst possible response.
Stanford's Greene agrees: "Many parents feel like it's their fault or their kids fault or that their kid is lazy and children often feel very guilty and ashamed and what this leads to is punishment and that only makes bed-wetting worse.
"For kids that are under 5 or 6, it's normal, they are not doing something wrong and it won't last forever," Greene says. "Kids need reassurance and encouragement, not punishment."

Other Step by Step Recipes
21 Comments
Response: Yes, you can use the same tempering.
Response: Hi Darshan, lemon is added to get the sour taste in dhokla.
Response: Thanks Palak for trying the recipe an glad to hear that you liked it.
Response: Hi Shruti, in this recipe, 1 cup chana dal is used and for dal, 1 cup = approx. 200 gms. I didn't get you second question.
Response: I'm so happy to hear you liked this recipe so much.
Response: Hi Biji, I am sorry to hear that your dhokla didn't turn good. The reasons behind they didn't turn good could be many.
1. If batter is too watery then they will remain soggy after cooking.
2. Always steam them over medium flame (not on high or low flame) to cook them perfectly.
3. If the knife comes out clean it means, dhokla are cooked. After removing them from the steamer, keep them open for 15-20 minutes before serving to get rid off excess moisture or sogginess.
4. If the you cook them for longer duration, then the top surface will turn soggy because of extra steaming.
I hope the above instructions helps you when you make it next time.
Response: Hi, you can buy eno fruit salt from medical store or grocery store. If it is not available, you can use 1/4 teaspoon baking soda instead of eno fruit salt in this recipe.
Response: Hi Sana, I am so sorry that your dhoklas ate are not coming out well.... I think that there is something wrong with the batter consistency. Batter should have medium thick consistency like idli batter (adjust the amount of water to get the desired consistency). Did you add the Eno fruit salt? After adding the Eno and mixing batter for a minute, did you pour the batter immediately?
Response: Yes, you can use baking soda (khane ka soda) in place of Eno fruit salt in this recipe. Follow the directions given below to use khane ka soda.
1.Make a mixture of 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon oil and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl.
2.Heat this mixture for 30 seconds and immediately pour it into the batter; mix well and then pour batter into greased thali.
Response: Thanks Rita.
Response: The thali shown in step photo of this recipe is a part of utencil specifically made for making dhokla (known as dhokadiyu or dhokla cooker in Gujarati). However many gas steamer utensils for making idli and other similar items have such plates available in it. I am not sure if you can buy such kind of thali separately anywhere.

Skill Level Intermediate
The next step is to sync our picture with the Pro Tools timeline. Now, typically you're going to know exactly what the frame rate is for the picture that you're going to be working to--that will be either communicated to you or typically you'll be working on a project where that information is the same from episode to episode or from reel to reel, so you've already established that--but if you don't know it for whatever reason, there are few ways that we can find the frame rate. So one of those is to use QuickTime. So let's go back to our example files, find our Video Files folder, and select ELI Clip 1, and open it, Command or Ctrl+O. Now that we have this open, we can go to the Window menu and Show Movie Inspector.
And in this Information window we can see that the frames per second is 29.97. So using this informational window within QuickTime is one way to figure out what the frame rate of your QuickTime movie is. So we can close that and go back to Pro Tools. So now I want to show you how to use Pro Tools to sync a QuickTime movie with the Pro Tools timeline, but before we do that, I want to show you one other way that you can sync the picture with Pro Tools if you don't know what the frame rate is. So in order to simulate this test, we're going to change our frame rate so that it doesn't match our picture file, since we already set it up in the template to match our picture file.
So let's go to the Setup > Session Setup window, and let's set this to 24 frames per second. Now we're going to use some of the tools built into Pro Tools to spot the QuickTime movie, and then we can check and see if it's in sync. So the first thing that we need to do is we need to switch our Hand Grabber tool to the Time Grabber tool, rather than a Separation Grabber tool. If you want to switch back to the Smart tool, you're welcome to do so.
If you do, you'll see that on the bottom- half of the region the Smart tool will turn into the Hand tool. Now the other thing we need to do is we need to enable Spot mode, which you can do by clicking the Spot mode button or by pressing the F3 key. If the F3 key does not do this on your computer, you need to change a setting. You can go to the System Preferences > Keyboard and check the box that says Use all F1, F2, et cetera, keys as standard function keys. Once that is set, you should be able to enable or disable Spot mode with the function key. And once Spot mode is enabled, with the Grabber tool you can click on the bottom-half of the region and the Spot dialog will pop up.
Now in this case, and in the most cases, the first frame of picture will show a timecode. And so when you click on the picture file in Pro Tools, you'll see the first frame of that picture, as we do here and we'll enter that time code in the Start field on the Spot dialog. So we'll type in 00:59:45:00 and click OK, and that will snap our picture file to that timecode. And now what we want to do is ensure that even though that Start frame is in the right place, we want to ensure that it's in sync elsewhere. And so if it's not in sync, we'll know right away because when we click elsewhere in the video, we'll see that the timecodes don't line up.
Like in this case, we're off by a second, and here we're still off by a second, and I'm going to zoom out and click later in the video. When we see that the timecodes don't line up, when we check different spots throughout the QuickTime video, that is a clear indicator that we're using the wrong frame rate, that is, as long as the first frame is in sync, which it is. So one way, by trial and error, to find out the correct frame rate, if you don't have that information already or you don't have QuickTime to figure it out, is to go into your Session Setup and try different frame rates until it locks up.
So let's try 29.97, which we already know is the correct frame rate for this video, and you can now see that by changing the frame rate, Pro Tools timeline in the video do not line up, so we're going to need to spot it again. So let's do the same thing. We're still in Spot mode. Hand Grabber tool on the bottom-half of the region. When we click, it will pop-up the Spot dialog, and we'll enter the timecode one more time. And now we can again check various points throughout the video, and this time we see that it is locked.
So, essentially when you click at different points in the video and the time- codes between the picture file and Pro Tools timeline are in sync, we know that we're at the right frame rate. So now that we have our picture file in place, we want to move our audio file to the right place as well. One of the quickest ways to do this is to use the Snap feature in Pro Tools, and what that does is it allows you to snap any audio file to the location of your cursor. So by double-clicking with the cursor our video file, the beginning of our selection is selected, and by using the Hand Grabber tool and the Ctrl key, we can snap our audio file to that same location.
So by holding down the Ctrl key and clicking with the Hand Grabber tool, our audio file is going to snap to the beginning of the cursor or the selection, which in this case is the exact length of our picture file. And this will work again in Grid or Slip mode, so let's go into Grid mode, hold down the Ctrl key, and click in the bottom half of the region, and our audio file is going to snap to be perfectly aligned with our picture file. Now there is another way you can do this. So I'm going to undo, Command+Z or Ctrl+Z. And if you stay in Spot mode, you can quite simply do the same thing you did with the picture file. Enter the time code again and you get the same result.
Now I'm going to zoom this picture and audio region to the full width of the screen using a key command Option+F or Alt+F. Now that we've zoomed our region selection to the width of the Pro Tools Edit window, one of the things that I like to do, once we've gotten our picture in sync, is to lock the video and audio file so that they can't accidentally be moved. So I'm going to put us back in Grid mode, and I'm going to use Ctrl+L or Command+L to lock the audio file. I'm going to select the video file and lock it as well.
And this is very handy because in case you accidentally grabbed or bumped or moved a region, you're going to get a little warning dialog box that asks you if you are sure you want to do this. A lot of people like to do this; a lot of people don't. You can do it however you like, but this is, for me, a nice safety feature in case you accidentally move something that you didn't mean to move. One last thing I wanted to point out is that when the picture files burn-in and the Pro Tools timeline don't match, it is often an indicator that we're using the wrong frame rate. But every once in a while, due to an anomaly with computer software or hardware malfunction, there may be a missing frame, literally a missing frame of still image in the picture file or in the burn-in itself, and when that happens it can cause a single-frame difference between the burn-in on the picture and the Pro Tools timeline, and you will see that single-frame difference recurring by the exact same amount.
And typically when that dropped frame happens it's something you can fix, but it may not be. And we're not going to go into that so much in this course, but I just wanted to bring it up in case, perhaps on another project that you're working on, if you ever see something like that, you're aware that it is a possibility and that it does happen. If in doubt, you can always get a new video from the production that you're working, or possibly fix it yourself.

With gas continuing its steep climb to currently $3.91 cents, motorists looking to save may want to take a cue from delivery drivers.
UPS drivers clock 79,000 miles a day in the District alone, and they have a few secrets to saving at the pump.
Part of the science behind saving money on gas involves the left-turn lane - or rather, avoiding it. UPS drivers evade it as much as possible because you have to stop and wait.
"When you are making a left hand turn that's idling," said UPS engineer Jennifer Braud.
Of course, it's not so easy to plan a trip without any left turns. Special technology helps UPS drivers map routes with as many right-hand turns as possible.
One trick you can follow without taking apart the GPS: Check your tire pressure. If the wheels are losing air, the car is lower to the ground. That makes it less aerodynamic, which drives up gas use.
For the same reason, washing your car can also save fuel. "It actually makes your car more aerodynamic," Braud said.
Once the light turns green, go easy on the gas. The men and women in brown are taught not to gun it. "If you have that jackrabbit start that is really wasting a lot of gas," Braud explains.

Skill Level Beginner
As we'll learn throughout this chapter, there are four times of brushes that exist inside of Illustrator. There is the Calligraphic Brush, the Scatter Brush, the Art Brush and the Pattern Brush. In this movie we'll focus in the Calligraphic Brush, which on a very basic level is somewhat similar to the Pencil tool. For example, if I use the Pencil tool here and I'll specify a Fill of none and just a black stroke, as you go ahead you draw your particular path you'll notice that the path itself is just one consistent stroke. However, let me delete that for a moment. I'll switch over to my Paint Brush tool, and I'll go to my Brushes panel, and you'll see that the top row of icons here are what we call Calligraphic brushes.
I'll choose this one here called 7 point Round, and when I click and I drag with this, I get a much thicker line, but you'll also notice that if I go into Outline mode, what I have is basically one path that has the appearance of this particular brush stroke on top of it. As we get more into using brushes, this will make a lot more sense. I'm just going to delete this right now. Notice that in this particular file I already have this turned into a Template layer, so I have this piece of artwork that's here. I now want to kind of sketch or draw on top of this. I'm going to use a Wacom pen to actually go through some of this, but if you have a mouse, you can follow with the same steps. The only difference is that I'm going to be using some pressure-sensitive features, which will allow me to control a little bit more about how I create my artwork.
So first let's see what the settings for a Calligraphic Brush are. I have my Paint Brush tool selected, I'll go over here to my Brushes panel and I'll simply go ahead on the bottom over here and choose this option called New Brush. Now, I'm going to create a new Calligraphic Brush, click OK. This dialog box comes up. Let's call this one a name. Let's give this one Surfing Brush for now. I have the ability here to specify the Angle, Roundness and Diameter of the particular tip of my brush. I can either specify the numbers directly to these fields or I could even click on this interactive area here. For example, I can adjust the angle by clicking on this arrow. I can also adjust the roundness by clicking on these dots right here and the diameter I could use by simply adjusting the Slider here.
Let's start with something very basic for now. I'm actually going to go ahead and have this set for an angle of 0, the roundness was set to 100% and the diameter I'll set to around maybe... let's specify a number here for about 10 points. Now you'll notice that right now all these settings are fixed. So that means if I click OK, as I draw a brush, I'm always going to get a consistent brush stroke that is exactly 10 points in that particular way. I'm going to select this Command+A or Ctrl+A and delete. I'm going to double-click on that brush that I just created now to edit it.
I'm going to change some of the settings that are here. First of all, instead of the angle being 0, we'll put that angle on 45-degree angle. Now you won't really notice the difference in the angle itself because it's perfectly round, but if I would change the roundness to something else, for example, let's do a roundness of maybe 10, very extreme one, that creates almost a flat kind of brush. If you've ever used a traditional calligraphy pen, it has a very flat point or what we call a nib on the pen, which means that when I start to draw with the pen on certain angles it appears very fast, but on certain angles it appears very thin.
By the way the settings I'm going to be specifying right now are not related at all to the pressure-sensitivity, these still are all fixed numbers. Even if I'm using a mouse, I would get the same exact results. I'll leave the diameter set to 10 point. Let's click OK and see what happens now. If I start to paint or draw in this direction, I get the thick line, but if I start to come down I get a thin line. Thick line, thin line, or if I go in a circle, I get something that looks like that. And again, I'm going to be able to do this using the brush. If I go to Outline mode, see that it's just one whole stroke that was created or one path that was created. But the appearance of that particular path has these beautiful thick and thins, and again that's where that the Calligraphic Brush works.
Now let's see what happens when I start turning on the pressure-sensitive setting. Again, I'll press Command+A or Ctrl+A to delete my particular artwork there, select it and delete it. Let's switch over to my Paint Brush tool. Let's double-click on this surfing brush to change its settings once again. I'll change the Angle back to 0; let's change around this back to 100 and I'll leave the Diameter right now a little bit heavier since we go up to around 15. Now what I'm going to do though is I'm going to change some of these settings right here, and so with Diameter being fixed, meaning that it's always going to be a Diameter of 15 points, I could change that to be based on pressure.
Now because I have a pressure- sensitive tablet right now, I could choose a variation for that. Take a look at this little section over here, over this dialog box. Right now Illustrator is letting me know that my diameter or the way that my brush would appear can either be this, or this, or this. Now, obviously since my Diameter and my Variation is set to 0, it will always look the same based on my pressure. But as I start to increase the Variation, for example, I variate all the way to 15 points, Illustrator is letting me know that my brush stroke that I can create can be as narrow as this, which is basically 0, as I'm having 15 points Diameter but a Variation of 15 points, meaning it can go anywhere from 0 to 15 all the way to 30 for that matter. I'm going to click OK.
Now as I start to use my pressure- sensitive pen, as I use the Paint Brush tool, I press very lightly, I get thin lines, but as I go and press heavier I get a much thicker stroke. Again if I go into Outline mode, I see that I have created one path; however, the appearance of that appears to be thin and then thick, which is actually pretty cool. Let's go ahead and delete this and see how I might use this in a particular way of working with my design. Now I have a very large stroke here. I'm actually going to double-click on this. Change Diameter to be maybe 8 points and again a Variation will also be 8. You can never have a Variation more than the actual Diameter itself.
I'm going to click OK and now I'll start to sketch. So I'll create let's say some strokes here and again I can do things maybe that would not be possible otherwise. I'm not an artist here, but I can try to get something that's very descriptive. But notice that I have kind of thick-and-thin. I'm going to press Undo because I don't like that stroke. Let me do something say a little bit more over here. Now I can start to create some kind of shape here, but notice how beautiful my thick-and-thins are when I use this Calligraphic Brush. So this is an example the first kind of brush you can create inside of Illustrator called the Calligraphic Brush. By the way just to show you if I start to use my mouse I can still do the same types of illustrations if I want to, but notice that there is no thick- and-thins, the stroke is consistent here because there is no pressure- sensitivity with the mouse itself.
Overall, the Calligraphic Brush is not only fun to use; it's great for sketching and for inking as well.

Houston confirmed on Thursday he will not be renewing his current contract when it expires in the summer, but stressed he is still fully committed to the club for now.
The Tannadice boss knows some fans may question his motivation for the remainder of the campaign now that he has taken the decision to move on, but he hopes a win at Rugby Park will allow the focus to shift back to results on the park, rather than his own situation.
Houston said: "I wasn't looking for a reaction from the players when I told them I was leaving. I want the reaction to be on Saturday, when we play Kilmarnock.
"I told them we have to make sure we are focused. We have trained magnificently this week and there was a good spirit, as there always is. I've got the reports, I've done my home work for Saturday. I know the game-plan when we go to Rugby Park.
"We put this to bed now and hopefully the one thing that will keep the fans from being unhappy is if the team starts winning again."
United currently sit eighth in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League table, with Houston determined to go out on a high. He firmly believes the top six is achievable again this term and has no fears about the motivation and commitment of his players either.
He said: "I still believe we can finish in the top six and I still believe we can put a run together because they are a great bunch of boys.
"They work ever so hard. They don't always play well but you can never guarantee that anyway. They work hard, they train hard and their attitude is absolutely spot on.
"I don't have a problem with any player in the dressing room. I can have no complaints about the attitude and efforts of the players at Dundee United Football Club."
