Negative pulldown
Negative pulldown is the manner in which an image is exposed on a film stock, described in the number of film perforations spanned by an individual frame. It can also describe the orientation of the image on the negative, whether it is captured horizontally or vertically. Changing the number of exposed perforations allows a cinematographer to change both the aspect ratio of the image and the size of the area on the film stock that the image occupies (which affects image clarity).
The most common film pulldowns for 35 mm film are 4-perf and 3-perf, the latter of which is usually used in conjunction with Super 35. 2-perf, used in Techniscope in the 1960s, is enjoying a slight resurgence due to the birth of digital intermediate techniques eliminating the need for optical lab work. Vertical pulldown is overwhelmingly the dominant axis of motion in cinematography, although horizontal pulldown is used in IMAX, VistaVision (still in use for some visual effects work), and in 35 mm consumer and professional still cameras.
Usage of various formats[edit]
Most 35mm film systems, whether they are cameras, telecine equipment, optical printers or projectors, are configured to accommodate the 4-perf system, where each frame of 35mm is 4 perforations long. 4-perf was (and remains) the traditional system, and virtually all projectors are based on 4-perf, because 4 perforations is the amount needed per frame vertically in order to have enough negative space for a roughly squarish image, which became the silent film standard aspect ratio of 1.33:1.
Later, when the film industry was facing the perceived threat of obsolescence to television, which also was universally a 1.33:1 aspect ratio at the time (and remained so in many countries until the introduction of DTV), studios started experimenting with various competing widescreen formats.
Current practice[edit]
Eventually, aspect ratios of 1.85:1 in North America and 1.66:1 in Europe became standard for 35mm productions shot with normal non-anamorphic lenses. However, the way the aspect ratio is created with these films is not in-camera, but rather by placing a cropping device, known as an aperture mask, over the film in the projector. What this means is that most films are shot in full screen format (often incorrectly referred to as 1.33:1 but actually 1.37:1 because of the sound tracks), but composed for 1.85:1 or 1.66:1 and cropped that way in projection. Therefore, a fair percentage of the film is wasted, because the cropped top and bottom are never meant to be shown. 3-perf and 2-perf are only used in the origination and post-production transfer process.
2-perf camera systems use only 2 perforations per frame on 35mm film, which gives an aspect ratio close to the 2.39:1 aspect ratio used in anamorphic prints. It was first proposed conceptually around 1930, but was not put into practice until 1961, when Techniscope was developed at Technicolor's Italian branch. It has recently been brought up again with the advent of higher quality, lower grain film stocks as well as digital intermediate post-production methods which eliminate optical blowups and thus improve quality. While in the recent past, some companies have offered custom conversions of camera equipment to 2-perf, it appears that camera manufacturers are now poised to support the format. Arri made 2-perf movement blocks for their Arricam and Arriflex 235 cameras available for rental in March 2007,[1] while Aaton's Penelope camera, released in October 2008, was the first camera specifically designed for 2-perf usage (as well as 3-perf).
In the early 1980s, Swedish cinematographer Rune Ericson collaborated with Panavision on the concept of creating a 3-perf mechanism for motion picture cameras.[2] 3-perf minimized the problem of wasted film by changing the camera gate and shutter mechanism so that each frame is 3 perforations high instead of the standard 4-perforations. The 3-perf image's aspect ratio is roughly 1.78:1, which makes it both ideal for widescreen television and very close to 1.85:1 without losing any image outside this area to waste. Because of the smaller frame, the camera effectively runs 25% slower, yielding 25% savings on film stock; the camera will run more quietly because less film is moved through the camera per frame; and the Super 35 variant allows for a larger negative area, which can help compensate for increased grain when using higher-speed film stocks.
In the late 1990s, noted cinematographer Vittorio Storaro proposed a film standard known as Univisium (also called Univision), which advocates 3-perf Super 35 to create a 2:00:1 aspect ratio.
Disadvantages of 3-perf and 2-perf[edit]
The only disadvantage of 3-perf and 2-perf is that if it is to be projected theatrically, it needs to be transferred back to a 4-perf system, which typically means a film print with black cropping on the print itself in order to fit the image onto a 4-perf frame - the same wastage problem as before. Even so, the amount of film shot on a production is much greater than the length of the final film, so 3-perf or 2-perf are still viable cost-saving options for production. Generally, 3-perf is most frequently used for widescreen television productions shot on film, because the film will be developed and then permanently transferred to video, rendering projection incompatibilities irrelevant. Recently, this process has become popular with big-budget motion picture production, due to the advent of the digital intermediate process. The negative is scanned to high resolution (usually HD, 2K or 4K (digital cinema)) digital files, colour graded, and ultimately printed back to standard 4-perf for projection. At some point in the future, the final 4-perf print will become unnecessary assuming the cinema distribution and projection chain become fully digital.
3-perf and 2-perf pose minor problems for visual effects work. The area of the film in 4-perf work that is not projected nonetheless contains picture information which is useful for such visual effects tasks as 2D and 3D tracking.[citation needed] This mildly complicates certain visual effects efforts for productions using 3-perf and 2-perf.
VistaVision is a higher resolution, widescreen variant of the 35mm motion picture film format which was created by engineers at Paramount Pictures in 1954. It uses a horizontal, 8 perforation 35mm image, similar to that used in 135 film for still photography. Paramount did not use anamorphic processes such as CinemaScope but refined the quality of their flat widescreen system by orienting the 35mm negative horizontally in the camera gate and shooting onto a larger area, which yielded a finer-grained projection print.

I don't understand that. Unless you tell it otherwise, cpan Module will use dmake and mingw for both. Additionally, ActivePerl provides other options, so it should make things easier, not harder. Sounds like you installed Wx::Alien, which builds the wxWidgets library for Wx. It took me much longer to build, although turning off the realtime antivirus made a huge difference. That's the main file of the wxWidget library. (IIRC, it uses one or two others too.) Off the top of my head, it's installed under Alien/Wx in the arch-specific branch of the library directory. Or is it in the share directory? In reply to Re: Packaging Perl Programs (is) Painful

IQBAL MASIH Murdered Child Labor Activist
These are your rights
The Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted by the United Nations in 1989. Almost every country has now ratified the Convention. As a child you have the right:
to sufficient food, clean water, health care, and an adequate standard of living;
to be with their family, or in the best caring environment to ensure protection from all physical, mental and other abuse;
to education;
to special care or training necessary if they have a disability or handicap; and
to play.
Every child has a right to play
Children have a right "to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child". That right is enshrined in Article 31(1) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Some stupid adults laugh if you tell them that you have a right to play. Sadly, many children do not play — they work. Some children even make toys they never play with.

There is no hint of defeatism in this title, no sense of merely ending up where you began. The full circle instead represents the unity and comprehensiveness of the rich, ancient tapestry of indigenous Australian kinship, land and culture and how this has survived decades of forced assimilation.
Edie Wright has compiled the stories of her family over three generations. She uses these oral histories to trace her family's connection with the remote Kimberley coast and re-establish ties with her Cape York people. Biography fleshes out the daily realities of living as aliens in your own land and provides insight into indigenous history over the entire 20th century.
During three generations her family lived through no fewer than 40 different government acts and amendments, many of which were overwhelming in impact. Government policy dispersed indigenous families, bringing both grief and hardship, and included the forced removal of native children from their families: the 'stolen generation'.
The scale of this tragedy of displaced lives is only slowly coming to be understood, especially in terms of how powerfully it affects indigenous Australians today. There have been huge disruptions in communities and culture. The tapestry has been scuffed threadbare in some patches and wantonly vandalized in others.
Edie Wright's style is powerful and unpretentious. Reading these stories is like sitting in on a family get-together – but thanks to her openness and generosity, as a welcome guest rather than voyeur.

UOA 50 European Studies
FTE Cat A Staff submitted for assessment
London School of Economics and Political Science
The Institute is intensely interdisciplinary, drawing its academics from the fields of economics, geography, history, law, philosophy, politics, political economy, social policy, political sociology and international relations. Its research is organised around three socially and intellectually significant interdisciplinary themes, with the aim of providing a panoramic vision of contemporary Europe within these under-researched areas: European political economy; EU governance; and European ideas and identities.
The Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008| has classified 20 per cent of the Institute's research as 'world leading' and 45 per cent as 'internationally excellent'. This gives the Institute the top ranking of all UK institutions that submitted European Studies research to the RAE when research is looked at on a grade point average basis.
Professor Damian Chalmers, head of the European Institute, said: "Europe is a distinctive laboratory which gives us a unique opportunity to study political communities, whether presented as new forms or as existing models which are being revised, challenged or entrenched. It is a region in which there is intense globalisation – in terms of transnational investment, migration and trade – despite the vastly different state models of political economy and welfare which both compete intensively and copy each other extensively."
In the field of European political economy, the Institute has undertaken considerable work on market dynamics and governance of economic and monetary union. This work considers the effects of the euro on the new member states and the impact of social policy and structural reform, including the ramifications of an emerging distinctive European social policy and the effect of European integration on national and regional health and education policies.
The group's research also examines new forms of institutional politics. This work has considered the emergence of new European regulatory agencies, including the European Food Safety Authority and the Human Rights Agency. European redistributive politics have also been analysed, particularly the field of asylum policy, and the workings of the Stability and Growth Pact and the Lisbon agenda. Other research has looked at new ways in which the European Union affects domestic processes and institutions beyond those of the central member state authorities. This work has focused on the impact of Europeanisation on states outside the European Union and regions with strong sub-national identities, such as Catalonia.
The Institute's work on European Ideas and Identities includes an investigation of how ideas of Christianity and of the Ancient Greeks have influenced the idea of Europe, or how Europe is perceived by, and affects the daily lives of, European citizens, and how this is used as a basis for intervention in the Western Balkans.
The European Institute has a strong public profile which is reflected in its prestigious academic visitors and its links and collaborations with foreign universities and other distinguished public institutions. The Institute runs a number of high profile lecture series, and held a total of 139 events in 2008 alone. Recent speakers have included eight European Heads of State, including the Czech and Swedish Prime Ministers and the President of Kosovo; seven European Commissioners; and the Presidents of both the European Commission and the European Parliament.

Wind power a green issue for island, state
Shipping channels, navigational aids and regattas were some of the concerns addressed at the Rhode Island Offshore Wind Stakeholders meeting at the University of Rhode Island Bay Campus last month.
A diverse group, including Coast Guard officials, wind company representatives and fishermen, attended the stakeholder information session, wind energy committee member William Smith reported at the committee meeting on Nov. 20. Smith said that construction of state wind turbine farms was constrained by shipping channels and water depth. A couple of spots south of Block Island were pegged as possible venues for the renewable energy generators. "Smaller vessels can go underneath them with no problem," Smith noted in reference to a potential field of turbines offshore.
In a discussion about a call for bids for a wind energy feasibility study on the island, committee member Abigail Anthony said she met with Town Planner Lisa Bryer about the needs and wants to list in a request for qualifications. Anthony noted that she, together with volunteer Joseph Logan, wrote an introduction, and added that the town planner would draft a body for the request. She expressed confidence that the completed draft would be ready for review by the next committee meeting.
The committee spent the rest of the evening brainstorming on potential wind generator sites, and listing requirements for feasible choices. Panel members noted sites that scored high on a wind graph, as well as sites that provided easy access for transport. Some of the suggestions discussed were farms, parks and other town-owned property.
Committee member William "Bucky" Brennan crafted a spreadsheet that showed high wind velocity spots, and sites that could be considered for single- or multiple turbine installation. He added statistics that reported electricity costs at public buildings and treatment plants.
The electric bill for the sewer treatment plant neared the top of the list of high cost, averaging anywhere from $3,000 to $5,000 per month. The plant was also marked as the biggest user per month of electricity island-wide in the spring. Brennan noted that, with a significant rise in electricity costs in the last five years, the town was paying 15.7 cents for KW hours at the treatment plant. "When you have pumps going on and off, the price is jacked up," Brennan explained.
The town's average electric bill was $60,000 per month, according to the spreadsheet.
Committee Chairman Don Wineberg reminded the panel that sites proposed in the discussion were only preliminary ideas. "The goal of this exercise is to look at what sites we would ask a consultant to look at," Wineberg said.
The maps also showed limitations of sites, such as locations that would require moving produced energy across a road. Committee members agreed that the law prohibiting energy to be moved across public roadways was a serious consideration. "One of the biggest problems is not being able to cross roads," Anthony said.
Over a dozen areas on the island were thrown into the discussion about potential spots for one wind turbine or multiple turbines. Brennan suggested that one turbine might solve most of the energy challenges on the island, if net metering was considered. Net metering, a state policy for consumers, allows a limited amount of produced energy to be distributed. Committee member Bob Bowen explained that, under the state guidelines of net metering, a private owner can sell up to one megawatt of power. Net-metered renewable energy systems that are municipally owned may distribute up to 1.65 MW.
A few of the areas that scored high on the committee's brainstorming list were Taylor Point, Fort Wetherill and Fort Getty.

The Canadian real estate market is robust and potentially very lucrative. Even during the worst economic times of the new millennium, real estate in Canada weathered the storm remarkably well. Plus, there are not any citizenship or residency requirements for possessing property in Canada. Indeed, you can live in a Canadian home briefly, even without residency or citizenship; though there are immigration requirements for extended stays. Still, the market is open to investors around the world but to make the most of your investment, it's important to really have a solid understanding of taxes in Canada.
Property Taxes:
Property taxes in Canada will differ from state-to-state and even determined by the municipality. One of the very first things you should know is that when you purchase property here, you'll need to pay a provincial transfer tax. Again, this varies between states, but you need to expect to pay between 1 and 2% of the value of the property. Occasionally, there are exemptions to this transfer tax; for example, the first property you buy in Canada will not carry this transfer tax.
As I've already alluded, annual property taxes are compulsory and change by municipality. Predicated on the determined value of your property as decided upon by the marketplace, property taxes include fees for schools, parks, and other community amenities.
Finally, you will also pay the national Goods and Services Tax (GST) on new home purchases. If you plan to live in the house, and it is a new or builder-renovated house, you may be eligible for a partial rebate on the GST.
Rental Property Taxes:
In case you plan on buying an investment property in Canada with the aim of renting the property for income, you need to be aware of the Canadian Income Tax Act requirements. The Act stipulates that you pay 25% of the gross property rental income as tax. Visit this website for amazing information about Eddie Yan. Non-residents can usually choose to pay 25% of the net rental income instead; this means you can deduct most of the expenses associated with running the property – you simply need to submit an NR6 form. Specific expenses cannot be deducted, nevertheless; for example, operating and expenses and capital expenses may be deducted, while the cost of furniture or equipment for a rental property cannot. Moreover, property taxes along with mortgage, bank loan, or line of credit interest payments are all tax deductible.
Selling your Property:
Pay close attention, as selling your property in Canada has different costs for residents and non residents. Residents who reside in a property as their principal place of residence can sell a property without paying capital gains tax. Should you own multiple properties, you must designate only one property as your main place of residence. Sale of properties that are not your main place of residence are subject to capital gains tax.
Non residents when selling a property are subject to a 50% withholding tax, and American residents must also report the gains to the Internal Revenue Service. As it is possible to see, there are significant tax implications for purchasing and selling properties in Canada.

- Gaited Horses
- - Cavaletti Training?
Cavaletti Training? Okay, so I am curious about cavaletti training for my horse. He is a 6 year old Tennessee Walking horse with a lovely feeling smooth gait. My only complaint, is he drags his hooves SO bad! He does not do this on the ground, but under saddle he is always dragging them. I was told it's just because he's so mellow, but we rode in a gymkhana where he was EXTREMELY hot and he still drug them. He often trips because he just can't pick them up. I would love to teach him how to pick up his hooves a bit more in his running walk. I've talked to people at my barn (none of who own gaited horses) and they suggested weighted shoes, elastic bands between the legs, and chains. I am VERY against any type of action device on my horse. I did some thinking and thought of ground poles? Would setting up ground poles, starting at the walk, building up to the running walk, and then raising them to cavaletti's be an option for a gaited horse? I haven't really found much info on cavalettis other than for Dressage horses, but would love to try them with him. Anyone have any success with this? |
Our gaited horse is fine with his hooves - but my non-gaited horse is the king of tripping over his own feet. I would really suggest putting ground poles up, no only does it help them to pick up his feet, but it also helps them to watch where they place their hooves. My horse, Brisco, used to drag his feet at a walk and sometimes at a trot, but we have done all gates over poles and small jumps and now he has no problems wit picking up his feet. Every now and then he might get tired and start doing it again - but for the most part he is so much better. It takes a bit of time and work, but it does help. I would walk on the ground over the poles first, then walk over the poles both ways at a walk on ground and under saddle so he knows where the poles are before you start going to a trot or higher. I didn't show my horse where the poles were the the first time I did this and he tripped and stepped on the logs and slipped quite a bit. But since I showed him where to step he doesn't have any issues. |
Cavaletti or ground poles can both be beneficial. I'd start with the gound poles and work up to the more demanding cavaletti. Often "dragging feet" can be the result of farriery/trimming. How is the horse trimmed? Frequently it's also the result of lack of strength/fitness. What kind of riding program do you use? Good on you for rejecting the "leather and iron" solutions so common in this world. G. |
It sounds like a lameness issue. Potentially hocks/stifles. My mare would sometimes walk like she wasn't bending her back legs. Dragging the toes. The vet feels it is her SI joint (pelvis). Her lameness is a grade 1 after flexions (so very very mild). I would try the cavaletti's though. If he shows any signs of soreness or attitude it might be a pain problem. The vet said my horse needs re-hab exercises to build her topline/ pelvis as she hasn't been willing to use herself correctly due to pain. Lots of cavaletti to build up her back and strengthen her weak areas. That will start in a few weeks. Right now she is on stall rest and bute. My mare's X rays are clean. It is possible your horse's hocks are fusing or something else is going on to limit him from picking up his feet. You may want to try a course of bute and see if there is any improvement. |
Cavaletti training helps ANY horse. I used to have four of them and I used them with my lesson horses. My QH, "Ro Go Bar" (1982-2009, RIP), built downhill, used to drag his feet and he improved with cavaletti. I also used them with my QH/TWH cross, "Tyke" (1970-1998, RIP.) I prefer Cavaletti to just poles on the ground bc the poles, unsecured, can pull leg muscles if the horse gets sloppy and steps on one and it rolls. 'O' Cavaletti are either secured by plastic blocks or built to 3 heights and will ROLL if the horse hits it. The horse punishes himself if he hits it and I recommend that you use WOOD instead of PVC. PVC can break. How to Build Horse Cavaletties | eHow Do NOT stack multiple cavaletti to make jumps!!! You and your horse can get seriously hurt falling into this!! Instead, just build a simple jump standard with a 4 x 4 and "feet." http://www.coloradohorsejumps.com/up.../2527122.jpg?0 http://www.horseforum.com/jumping/ho...erials-110354/ |
I agree - the cavaletti needs to be able to fall if the horse hits it, that way he doesn't trip and fall or something. What I do to make my jumps, is I take just small wooden poles and put them on top of orange cones. The cones lay on thier sides and the poles sit on the flat edge. But it does need to be something hard, unbreakable, but sturdy. I also agree with what corporal said Quote:
I wish I could claim credit for that statement but it Reiner Klimke's words. THIS is a MUST READ: http://www.amazon.com/Cavalletti-Schooling-Horse-Rider-Ground/dp/0851317553 |
Hey everyone! Thanks for the input :) I should have mentioned, I have already had two farriers check mine's work, had a vet check for lameness, checked saddle fit, had a chiro check for any soreness. He has a 100% from everyone, he is in great shape, so it is not a physical issue. He also is in very good shape. He gets out about 4-5 times a week, typically an hour at the gait/canter/transitions in the arena and then 1-3 hour trail ride depending on the timing. Quote:
Also, my barn has the cavaletti stand things, where they pop off when they are hit. Today, I put ground poles out to do a bit of work on them. I wrapped all four of his legs, and I'm glad I did, because his first two times over he just attempted to power through it and fell onto his front knees. After two falls, he got the point and started picking up his legs nicely in the walk and running walk. I will continue to work on this for a while and then think about moving him to the cavalettis. |
I couldn't get your link to work? I will try searching for that when I am home, though. |

Reports from eyewitnesses play an important role in the development and propagation of both religious and paranormal beliefs. People are often ready to believe the personal reports of what others say that they have seen and experienced. Thus, it is important to consider just how reliable people's memory and their testimony can be.

Eyewitness Testimony and Criminal Trials

Perhaps the most important thing to note is that, even though there is a popular perception of eyewitness testimony being among the most reliable forms of evidence available, the criminal justice system treats such testimony as being among the most fragile and even unreliable available. Consider the following quote from Levin and Cramer's Problems and Materials on Trial Advocacy:

Eyewitness testimony is, at best, evidence of what the witness believes to have occurred. It may or may not tell what actually happened. The familiar problems of perception, of gauging time, speed, height, weight, of accurate identification of persons accused of crime all contribute to making honest testimony something less than completely credible. (emphasis added)

Prosecutors recognize that eyewitness testimony, even when given in all honesty and sincerity, isn't necessarily credible. Merely because a person claims to have seen something does not mean that what they remember seeing really happened - one reason why is that not all eyewitnesses are the same. To simply be a competent witness (competent, which is not the same as credible), a person must have adequate powers of perception, must be able to remember and report well, and must be able and willing, to tell the truth.

Critiquing Eyewitness Testimony

Eyewitness testimony can thus be critiqued on several grounds: having impaired perception, having impaired memory, having an inconsistent testimony, having bias or prejudice, and not having a reputation for telling the truth. If any of those characteristics can be demonstrated, then the competency of a witness is questionable. Even if none of them apply, though, that does not automatically mean that the testimony is credible. The fact of the matter is, eyewitness testimony from competent and sincere people has put innocent people in jail.

How can eyewitness testimony become inaccurate? Many factors can come into play: age, health, personal bias and expectations, viewing conditions, perception problems, later discussions with other witnesses, stress, etc. Even a poor sense of self can play a role - studies indicate that people with a poor sense of self; have greater trouble remembering events in the past.

All of these things can undermine the accuracy of testimony, including that given by expert witnesses who were trying to pay attention and remember what happened. The more common situation is that of an average person who wasn't making any effort to remember important details, and that sort of testimony is even more susceptible to error.

Eyewitness Testimony and Human Memory

The most important foundation for eyewitness testimony is a person's memory - after all, whatever testimony is being reported is coming from what a person remembers. To evaluate the reliability of memory, it is once again instructive to look to the criminal justice system. Police and prosecutors go to great lengths to keep a person's testimony "pure" by not allowing it to be tainted by outside information or the reports of others.

If prosecutors don't make every effort to retain the integrity of such testimony, it will become an easy target for a clever defense attorney. How can the integrity of memory and testimony be undermined? Very easily, in fact - there is a popular perception of memory being something like a tape-recording of events when the truth is anything but.

As Elizabeth Loftus describes in her book Memory: Surprising New Insights into How We Remember and Why We Forget:

Memory is imperfect. This is because we often do not see things accurately in the first place. But even if we take in a reasonably accurate picture of some experience, it does not necessarily stay perfectly intact in memory. Another force is at work. The memory traces can actually undergo distortion. With the passage of time, with proper motivation, with the introduction of special kinds of interfering facts, the memory traces seem sometimes to change or become transformed. These distortions can be quite frightening, for they can cause us to have memories of things that never happened. Even in the most intelligent among us is memory thus malleable.

Memory is not so much a static state as it is an ongoing process - and one which never happens in quite the same way twice. This is why we should have a skeptical, critical attitude towards all eyewitness testimony and all reports from memory - even our own and no matter what the subject, however mundane.

I know a guy who overdresses for every occasion. It strikes me as odd. Part of style is dressing appropriate for every occasion. We had a meeting offsite earlier this week that was business casual. Some people took this to mean jeans and a polo shirt. I dressed nicer as I refuse to wear jeans in that environment. The guy I am referencing shows up in a full suit with a bow tie. I don't see how he doesn't feel the least bit uncomfortable so overdressed.

As a part of the Vietnam-International Labour Organisation (ILO) Industrial Relations Project, the phase aims to continue improving the role and capacity of higher-level trade unions in promoting the establishment of grassroots-level organisations with focus on renovating their organisational structure and operational efficiency, and improving collective bargaining capacity.
It will realise the revised Labour Code and Law on Trade Union and major targets set during the 11 th Congress of the VGCL in July this year to raise the number of trade union members and their legitimate rights.
The phase will renovate methods to increase trade union members, set up grassroots-level trade unions, improve the capacity of their staff as well as foster dialogue at the workplace.
It will be carried out from now till December 2014, following the previous one from October 2010 to December 2011 and the transition period in the second half of 2012.-VNA
