Is Playing on DraftKings Legal?
DraftKings Strategy Course 101
Is Playing on DraftKings Legal?
Over the last several years, daily fantasy sports (DFS) have rocketed in popularity due to an increase in fantasy players, the chance to win real money, and the flexibility they provide in comparison to season-long fantasy sports leagues. The complex gambling laws in the United States, however, have made it confusing for many players to figure out where they can play legally. In fact, DraftKings Sportsbbook is offering a promo code that gives new users up to $1,000 in free bets.
Is playing DraftKings Daily Fantasy legal?
Current laws are complicated, and there is not a simple answer. In 2018, the Supreme Court struck down a law blocking sports betting, and leaving legality largely up to individual states. If you are in Arizona, Alabama, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada or Washington, DraftKings does not operate and is probably not legal in your state.
The situation is complicated in a few states such as Texas and California. However, nowhere has there been more controversy than New York; NY has previously sued and won cases against DraftKings. The DFS bill is once again under the eye of legislators and may change the law in the near future.
DFS is legal in Nevada, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. However, Nevada regulates gambling, and DraftKings Daily Fantasy does not currently operate there.
Is playing DraftKings Sportsbook legal?
Sports gambling may soon become legal across the United States, but currently the DraftKings Sportsbook does not operate in the states listed above that also ban Daily Fantasy. Sports betting is currently legal in Delaware, New Jersey, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and New Jersey. It is also legal in Nevada, in partnership with a casino; DraftKings may soon become available there, but is not currently an option.
**The Map below shows what states have a LIVE DraftKings Sportsbook Mobile App & Website Online in which you can play.
Is there a way to play in a state where it is not currently legal?
The technical answer is yes, while the legal answer is no.
Playing on Draft Kings Sportsbook might be possible even if you are in a state where it isn't legal, but you'll have several obstacles to overcome. First, you'll need to use a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, which will disguise the state you're accessing the site from by giving you a proxy address in a state where it is legal. However, most easy-to-use commercial VPNs will not work to do this, as DraftKings has blocked either the VPN programs or the IP addresses they try to use from legal states.
If you do manage to set up a VPN to convince DraftKings you're playing in a legal state, you will also need to consider the complications of providing an address and legal form of payment based in that state. Be very careful, as you may run into legal issues outside of gambling laws if you misrepresent your address, name, or other details in order to access a payment method.
Playing DraftKings Daily Fantasy in a non-legal state would face the same problems, but on a daily basis. Each time you want to set or tweak a fantasy lineup, you would need to go through the process of making sure your VPN and payment details are based in a legal state.
What are the real risks of trying to play on DraftKings in a state where it isn't legal?
While DFS players are not (at least so far) a prime target for law enforcement, you will be breaking the law. You may not be merely breaking state laws, either, but also potentially federal laws like the Wiretap Act, which could be interpreted to treat VPNs as a form of wiretapping. The likelihood of you being investigated, charged, or convicted of violating federal law merely for playing daily fantasy sports is low, but not zero, and the penalties could be severe.
When will DraftKings Sportsbook come to your state?
If you want to play on DraftKings in your state easily and legally risk-free, the best thing you can do is to advocate for legal changes through your political representatives. Local casinos, state legislatures, and other gambling advocates benefit from public support to change anti-gambling laws.
Florida, Ohio, and Connecticut are currently reviewing legality, while Kansas released an opinion encouraging legality for DFS and sports betting. Other states are considering legislation or currently sit in a grey area of the law. Some states require online companies to partner with a casino based in the state. Each state also has its own laws concerning required licenses and fees that must be paid to operate in the state. If the costs of these licenses and fees are too high, it may not make business sense for DraftKings to operate there, even if legal.

(m. 1985)
Nancy Dussault (born June 30, 1936) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for playing Muriel Rush in the sitcom Too Close for Comfort (1980–1987). In a career spanning over half a century, Dussault received two Tony Award nominations.
Early life
Born in Pensacola, Florida, her parents were George Adrian, a naval officer of French-Canadian descent and Sarah Isabel (née Seitz).[1] She grew up as a "Navy junior"[clarification needed]. A former resident of Arlington, Virginia, she graduated from Washington-Lee High School (W-L) where she was an actress and singer in the W-L drama program under director Jack Jeglum and a choral singer in the nationally known Washington-Lee High School Choir and Madrigal Singers under director Florence Booker. She is an alumna of Northwestern University.
In 1962, Dussault stepped into the role of Maria in the Broadway production of The Sound of Music. She received a Tony Award nomination in 1961 for Best Featured Actress (Musical) for Do Re Mi and was nominated for her performance in Bajour (1965). Of her performance in Do Re Mi and later career, Bloom and Vlastnik wrote: "Confidently clowning alongside such pros as Phil Silvers and Nancy Walker...she never faded into the scenery. Equally comfortable as a pure soprano or a rangy high belter, her versatility was well captured on the...cast album...Well cast as a situation comedy wife, she spent much of the 1970s and 80s in California."[2] Other stage shows included Quality Street in 1965 at the Bucks County Playhouse in Pennsylvania.[3] In 1978 she played the title role in "Peter Pan" at the Meldoy Top Theatre in Wisconsin and Sacramento Music Circus. She also appeared in the City Center Gilbert & Sullivan NYC Company, directed by Dorothy Raedler, with such Metropolitan Opera singers as Nico Castel, Muriel Costa-Greenspon, and Frank Poretta, Sr. Dussault took over as the Witch in Into the Woods on Broadway (1987–1989). She had appeared twelve years earlier in the revue Side by Side by Sondheim on Broadway. More recently she has appeared at The American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco as Mrs Peachum in "Threepenny Opera" (1999) and as Toinette in Moliere's "The Imaginary Invalid" (2007)
In Arthur Hiller's 1979 film, The In-Laws, she played Carol Kornpett, wife of Alan Arkin who played Sheldon S. Kornpett, D.D.S.
On television, Dussault made guest appearances (primarily as a vocalist and dancer) on variety shows of the 1960s, including The Ed Sullivan Show and The Garry Moore Show. She was a regular on the 1970s series The New Dick Van Dyke Show and the long running CBS game show Match Game. She also played Ted Knight's wife in the role of the photographer Muriel Rush on the 1980s situation comedy Too Close for Comfort. She was part of the first anchor team of the ABC morning show Good Morning America, paired with David Hartman, when that show launched in 1975. Dussault was the first actress to portray the character of Theresa Stemple, the mother of character Jamie Stemple Buchman, in season one of the NBC TV series Mad About You. She has appeared in episodes of Barney Miller. In January 1997, she played The Mayor Of Metropolis in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman ("Lethal Weapon" - Season 4, Episode 12).

Auditions are set for Cherry Docs the Williams Lake Studio Theatre's final play for the 2018-2019 season.
Long-time theatre member Merla Monroe will be directing Cherry Docs and said she's been involved with drama practically all her life. This production will be her first time directing in Williams Lake, though she's directed several for other theatre troops she's been a part of.
Cherry Docs will be the Studio Theatre's festival play this year and from the plot description Monroe gave, it's easy to see why. This dialogue-driven two-man play deals with the heavy subjects of racism, justice and morality.
The plot is centred on a young skinhead who uses his steel-toed boots to kill a South Asian Shopkeeper and is awaiting his preliminary hearing for the murder. The court assigns him a lawyer and when he arrives he turns out to be a middle-aged Jewish man.
"There's the conflict right there," Monroe laughed, "The play is just the two men the whole play, it takes place before and after the preliminary hearing before the sentencing. Because the skinhead is guilty, he admits he's guilty but it's not black and white, good versus evil."
Much of the play is about the two discussing their radically conflicting ideologies and Monroe said that it makes the audience examine their own prejudices they might hold.
She picked it after watching the cinematic version, Steel Toes, due to its focus on the interaction between the two main characters and said: "This would make a great play." Upon watching the credits, she saw that it was indeed based off of a play and asked the Studio Theatre Society to order a copy of the script.
"As I read it I realized I was holding my breath, it just grabbed me. I read it again right away and it grabbed me again, it was the same," Monroe declared.
Rather than suggest it right away, however, she held onto it for about four years and kept it in her back pocket. While and its subject matter continued to grip Monroe's attention, it had been a while since she directed a play and she hesitated to make the leap.
Once she did last year, however, she found that the Theatre immediately railed around her with volunteers to stage manage, run lights and produce alongside her.
As this year's festival play Cherry Docs will go onto compete in Theatre BC's Zone Festivals, which are separated into 10 zones. If Cherry Docs wins at its zone, the play will then go on to finals on Vancouver Island as well as other festival circuits.
"It's a big commitment for anybody who decides they'd like to come out and audition and work backstage, it's a big commitment," Monroe said. "Our auditions are in January and we'll be working right through until the festival in May."
Auditions will be held Jan. 8 at Kornak & Hamm's Pharmacy building downtown by Paradise Cinema and Jan. 9 at the Central Cariboo Arts Centre both at 7 p.m.
Monroe is looking for two men, one young in his late teens to the early twenties or a young looking 30-year-old willing to shave his head. For the character of the lawyer, she said she's looking for anyone between the ages of 35 to 65.
While making her selection at auditions Monroe said, especially for this two-man play, she'll be really looking for chemistry between auditioning actors as well as physical traits, like the apparent youth for the Skinhead character. Those with some acting or speech delivering experience may also have an easier time auditioning, as large parts of the play are based around monologues.
"This is a community theatre so we want anybody who wants to come out to try out, everybody's welcome for both auditioning for a part and working backstage," Monroe said. "They might find a talent they didn't know they have."
The play will run at the Studio Theatre from May 8 to 11 and May 15 to 18 with a final show on May 22 before heading to the festival. Initial Zone competitions will take place from May 23 to 26 in Kersley, with more to come depending on how it fares.
"I think most people who end up seeing this play will leave feeling a bit uncomfortable but have lots to talk about," Monroe said. "I think people should come with someone else so they can talk about it afterwards. It's not the same old good versus evil, it's so much more than that."

|Bach Mai Hospital in Hanoi use robot for neurosurgery for the very first time (Photo: Courtesy of Bach Mai hospital)
This is the firs time a hospital in Vietnam has used robot in brain and nerve operation contributing to boost the application of hi-tech in treatment.
Hospital director Dr. Nguyen Quoc Anh said that the hospital used Mako and Rosa robotic surgery, the most advanced kind in the US currently.
Robotic surgery, or robot-assisted surgery, allows doctors to perform many types of complex procedures with more precision, flexibility and control strictly such kind of the conventional techniques. Robotic surgery is usually associated with minimally invasive surgery — procedures performed through tiny incisions.
At first, medical workers will use robot for performing total hip replacement or partial knee replacement and neurosurgery. It is hoped to bring patients to access hi-tech treatment with appropriate spending compared to it abroad.

Sofia Offshore Wind Farm, sited 165 km off the UK coast on Dogger Bank in the North Sea, now has a dedicated digital portal for contractors and suppliers to register their capabilities and interest in working on the project.
Project Director David Few, leading the project through the upcoming Contracts for Difference (CfD) auction, said: "The team is committed to both delivering a winning bid for Sofia and maximising the supply chain benefits for the North East and wider UK".
"To support this, we have launched the Sofia Offshore Wind Farm portal for companies to register their interest in supply chain opportunities," he said. "Registering is the most effective way for suppliers to ensure their goods or services are considered for suitable procurement opportunities.
"The register will enable us and our Tier 1 contractors, once they are in place, to easily identify companies with the right skills and experience required to support the project at the right time".
Contracts will be awarded throughout the development, construction and operational phases of the project however, the majority of key contracts will come into effect with the final investment decision, anticipated for 2020 assuming a successful outcome in the CfD auction. These contracts will be for a full range of works including onshore enabling and grid connection activities, turbine and balance of plant supply, offshore installation and commissioning, operations & maintenance and support services.
Formerly known as Dogger Bank Teesside B, Sofia is located on a site covering almost 600 square kilometres. It has an agreed connection point at an existing National Grid substation located in Lackenby, Teesside and was granted development consent in August 2015.
Sofia Offshore Wind Farm is 100% owned by innogy SE. For more information, click here.

As we celebrate the Winter Solstace in North America, I am reminded of the value we can derive from "the longest day of darkness of 2016." It is fitting that this day comes as we turn the clock towards 2017. Much like our wildlife respond to the darkeness by hibernating, we too can hibernate in a purposeful way to advance our leadership style.
Enough has been said about the year of 2016. It is likely that you have had your ups and downs professionally and personally. By hibernating on our leadership style, we close our eyes and look inside to reflect and deepen the awareness of our impacts enabling us to refine how we lead in our work and homes.
To jump start your leadership hibernation, I offer some questions. On a professional level, what is it in your current way of leading that enabled those ups and downs? What is it in your personal life that enabled those ups and downs at home, and in the office. To explore these questions, try this activity:
- Take out a piece of paper
- Draw a line down the middle
- Title it with your greatest leadership impact of 2016, written in a sentence like "As a result of [insert your action(s) taken], I enabled [insert impact] to happen."
- Take 3-5 minutes with your eyes closed and relive that experience in your mind
- On the left side of this paper capture the choices, thoughts, and feelings that you recall through that action and impact.
- On the right side of the paper capture the actions, and behaviors you made happen.
- Reflect and hibernate on how you can and will do more of this in 2017
Then, take out another piece of paper
- Perform the same exercise, this time under the title of your greatest leadership mistake of 2016
- Do the exercise
- Reflect and hibernate on how you can and will do less of this in 2017
Finally, make a commitment to move both of these experiences into action by any of the following ways:
- Seal the pieces of paper in an envelope to be opened before the end of Q1.
- Write the impacts on a post it and leave it on a visible part of your desk as s daily reminder
- Take a photo of the exercise papers and save them to your phone wall paper or background as a frequent reminder
Hibernating on your leadership helps to find the breakthrough in your style that can unleash greater impacts in 2017. Go into that quiet space, and contemplate how you plan to advance your leadership impact in 2017.

The Republic Aircraft Company of Farmingdale, Long Island, New York was a major aircraft manufacturing company by the mid-20th Century. This firm built the P-47 Thunderbolt fighter, which saw service as a long-range escort fighter and as a fighter-bomber during World War Two. Republic entered the jet age soon after World War Two ended with the P-84 Thunderjet (redesignated F-84 in 1948). This straight-winged, single-engine fighter-bomber was delivered to United States Air Force (USAF) fighter-bomber units assigned to the newly-formed Tactical Air Command (TAC). The F-84E and F-84G variants saw extensive service during the Korean War. providing ground support for US-led United Nations (UN) troops. The straight-winged F-84 was further developed into the swept-wing F-84F Thunderstreak fighter-bomber and the RF-84F Thunderflash reconnaissance aircraft. The F-84F and RF-84F served with the USAF and Air National Guard (ANG), with the ANG retiring its last examples during the early 1970s. F-84Fs and RF-84Fs Hew with several allied air forces from the mid-1950s up until - with some countries - the early 1980s.

After I got up it didn't last long, because within a minute or two I started feeling weak and dizzy. So I went back to bed and slept another two hours. Then I helped Tony vacuum the house and put things in place, because our friend, Doug Foss, an entomologist and the owner of Foss Pest Control was scheduled to come out and treat The Cabin, so we won't be bothered with scorpions, spiders, creepy-crawlers, etc.
Well, Doug showed up promptly at 1:00 and he did an excellent job ridding our home of pests and we are thrilled about it. Especially Little Debbie and Big Al(ice).
Every time that we go to the bank, Rie is the first to greet us and then we start talking about dogs, key hole gardening, etc. and by the time we've done our banking—we always leave wearing smiles on our faces. So before I write another word I want to highly recommend using Bank of the Hills and Foss Pest Control.
Late this afternoon I checked my e-mail and my good friend Mari had sent me this link that shows 18 fascinating maps and I found it so interesting I want to share it with you: Fascinating Maps.
It is 4:52 right now and I am still feeling a little bit puny and I think I am going to go back to bed to rest some more. If that is at all possible with six dogs snuggling up close to me.
But before I go I do want to show you this beautiful, less than 30 seconds video. It is about a man that was in the hospital for over 5 months, because of flu complications.
Y'all have a great evening and keep on laughing!

Welcome to the best website of bike articles and reviews of the best products related to the world of the bike!
This website was born with the aim of providing quality information and analyze each product in depth, in order that the reader has the most information and choose the best item for the bike.
Why do we like the world of cycling?
The use of the bicycle, both in a sporty way and in a playful way, has important health benefits. The exercise we do while riding a bicycle allows us to strengthen the cardiovascular system, is an aerobic exercise that favors our body, makes us work a lot of muscles and helps eliminate back and knee pain. In addition, as aerobic exercise, it accelerates our metabolism and is, therefore, one of the most recommended physical practices to lose weight.
The bicycles recommended for this type of practice will also depend on the terrain for which we make our bike trips and the level of practice of the person, but multi-purpose bicycles are the most recommended models, since they allow us to make our bike trips in different land (asphalt, dirt roads, trails, etc.) and because they allow us to take a comfortable position due to the upright position we can adopt and the comfort of their saddles and accessories.
The bicycle as a sporting use
The most common practices in cycling are, without doubt, road cycling and mountain biking. They are two sports with a lot of tradition, being even Olympic modalities for many years. If what you like is to improve your physical condition, explore your limits and live more intense experiences you need a mountain bike. The road bike usually allows a group practice where the distances are greater and where you can discover new places and do tourism and sports at the same time. Whatever your sporting modality, or the use you give to the bicycle, it is important that your sports practice be safe.
Types of bikes
In this article we present a classification of the types of bicycles that exist. This classification that we present has been developed following the functional criterion, that is, for the specific use with which the bicycle has been designed, although, as seen in the diagram, sometimes the border between one typology and another is diffuse, what some bicycles could be located in two groups.
Road bikes are what everyone recognizes as those used by professional cyclists. Also called «racing bikes». These bicycles are characterized by their lightness, their very thin wheels and the handlebar with inverted horns to achieve a more aerodynamic position.
These bikes are very similar to the road bikes but with small differences: wider wheels and with some drawing, shorter geometry and the bottom bracket somewhat higher to facilitate the passage of obstacles.
Lately these bicycles are becoming fashionable, very similar to cyclocross but more designed to travel long distances on it and travel on all types of terrains (asphalt and dirt tracks). This type of bike could also have been included in the hybrid category due to its functionality.
These bicycles are designed for those who practice triathlon. Its main characteristic lies in the handlebar that allows a more aerodynamic position.
Fixies or Single speed
These bikes of appearance and structure as the road have a minimalist and urban design more careful. Its main feature is that they only have one speed and some are fixed gear. The handlebar can be the traditional one of the road or flat bikes. These bicycles could also have been classified as urban.
Within this group are those robust and well-equipped bicycles (lights, transport, fenders, chain guard, easel ...) to move around the city and in interurban routes. Its position is more upright than those on the road. These bicycles could also have been placed in the hybrid category.
As the name suggests, are the classic bicycles to move around the city that are characterized by having a very upright position and the central bar tilted or almost nonexistent to facilitate access to it
Mountain bikes are those designed to move around the mountain. Within this category there is a great typology.
Rigid (hardtail)
They are mountain bikes that only have front suspension. Within these we can also find the fat bike, those that have very thick wheels to circulate especially on the desert sand and beaches or on the snow.
Double suspension (fully)
They are the same as the previous ones but with front suspension and in the frame. The double suspension allows a greater absorption of impacts. They are used for the practice of All Mountain and Enduro.
The dirt bikes are designed to do pirouettes especially on built tracks. They are characterized by having smaller wheels, a very low saddle and a very short handlebar stem.
As its name suggests these bicycles arise from the union of road bikes and mountain bikes. They are designed to move around the city, but above all to travel by road with saddlebags hanging from the frame. They are one of our favorites and the great forgotten by the majority of the public.
Within this category we have those bicycles that by their characteristics did not fit easily into any other group.
These bicycles are also very common in our cities. Like the dirt they serve to make pirouettes with them
We could not forget these bicycles more and more present on all sides. There are road, mountain and urban. It is not unreasonable to think that they are the future of urban mobility, rather than the electric car or the car without a driver. Nothing faster than the bike to move around a medium-sized city.

Partnership for the Advancement & Immersion of Refugees presents Pushing the Elephant
PAIR Houston is a local 501(c)3 nonprofit organization whose mission is to empower refugee youth to navigate American society, reach their academic potential, and become community leaders through educational mentoring programs. The organization will host a screening of Pushing the Elephant to learn about refugee resettlement, PAIR's programs, and hear from students who have experienced both sides of the narrative.
Pushing the Elephant tells the extraordinary story of a mother and daughter reunited after a decade separated by civil war. In the late 1990s, Rose Mapendo lost everything to the violence that engulfed the Democratic Republic of Congo. She emerged from the suffering advocating peace and reconciliation. But after helping numerous victims to rebuild their lives, there is one person Rose must still teach to forgive - her daughter, Nangabire.
Following the film, local refugee students and a volunteer from PAIR's programs will share a few words.

Our family is hosting a Japanese (high school) exchange student for the next two weeks.
She just got in today and is really sweet. She brought us all gifts, Ipod cases for the adults :) , hello kitty purses for the girls and pokemon coloring books for Abdallah.
The kids already love her and wont leave her side. It's really cute to see how they interact with her.
It's also a great opportunity to expose them to different cultures. A good idea if your family does not travel a lot.
Her English is not bad, she carries a little vocabulary laptop with her.
Did I mention how polite she is? She asked me if she could use the bathroom!!
(I'm not sure what the deal is with the peace sign, she does it every time I take a picture?)
Angie any thoughts on that :)

The peace sign is the young Japanese person's equivalent of smiling for the camera. And a Japanese person would never come to your house without gifts to honor you!ReplyDelete
Great idea about the burgers. Sorry we couldn't make it. This illness really sucks, but today looks like it could be the turn-around day.
Looking forward to meeting her!
March 18 Iman??? Can you please update with your trip pics??ReplyDelete

Affinity Video Editor?
Epic-dude9807 posted a topic in Feedback for the Affinity Suite of ProductsI would love it if you would create a Video Editing Software like premier (but better obviously) As a college student I have two choices pay the expensive price of £16 a month for Adobe's okay software or get it offline illegally and unsafe. I have already Purchased Affinity Photo, am about to Purchase Affinity Designer but would absolutely love it if there was a affinity video editor for my media. I know this might not be your kinda thing but it would be so great and I know so many people would rather use this than adobe. You're ahead of them, keep it up.
MoviePlus X6
DGillbert posted a topic in Feedback for the Affinity Suite of ProductsSince Affinity has now a complete package of graphics products I felt it might be time to throw out a possibility for a new version of an old product under the Affinity brand! I'm a big fan of Affinity Designer and "MOVIE PLUS X6" ! I've been using Movie Plus since its inception. I have software from Adobe, Pinnacle and others but none are as versatile as Movie Plus. Its workflow, I find to be, the most efficient and productive of any video editing software. In my humble opinion, with a little updating to handle the newer codecs, it would once again be world class. I would bet there are others who continue to use Movie Plus both professionally and as a hobbyist. So, I just can't imagine that you folks have given up on video editing and authoring after producing such a stellar product.
History as a Video
Michael Bobarev posted a topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer on DesktopHello to all! Crazy idea … Is it possible to #save #history as a #video while #editing or #creating anything in your #amazing #software ?! Please, make it possible! Thanks! #AffinityPhoto #AffinityDesigner #AffinityPublisher http://bobarev.com
In this video, you will see the process from the sketch stage to the vector drawing stage of the Davraz Off Road logo, which I prepared using Procreate, Affinity Designer and iPad Pro. I hope you will like it.

affinity designer Work done for my Youtube Channel
Jhonatan S Silva posted a topic in Share your workhey there, I'm sharing this work and a complete video that I've made using Affinity Designer on ipad pro I hope you will enjoy the techniques that I use to build my characters, you can download some projects done in my youtube, it's available in my patreon for learning community on there I dedicate time to public exercises and useful contents for affinity users, illustrators, and designers. Thank you!
Hey all, I'm really happy to announce that I've just released the first few videos of my passion project, the Shooting Series! What it's about I love photography and video - I'll often go out and shoot specific material for use in the Affinity Photo tutorials to demonstrate certain features, and this has fed into my desire to cover a mixture of well-known and esoteric shooting techniques. It's my goal, then, to produce a video series that looks at all kinds of weird and wonderful photographic techniques - from shooting for stacking (long exposure simulation, noise reduction) to light painting, "big stopper" effects, portrait panoramas, focus stacking landscapes.. the list goes on. I'm constantly gathering material and planning/scripting videos, but I've just put the finishing touches on a few of the videos and felt it was about time to share them. Where applicable, I'll also be providing sample materials to download. Additionally, I've also put accompanying articles up on my website that provide some additional tips and insights. Long Exposure Water - Watch on YouTube - Read article In this video we're looking at the popular technique of using long exposure times to create shots with blurred motion; in this particular case, we're focusing on water. When you shoot water with long exposures, it takes on a smoother, "flowing" and sometimes ethereal appearance. In the video, I cover the use of both variable and fixed Neutral Density filters, as well as square filters with a filter bracket. Burst Stacking - Watch on YouTube - Read article - Download sample images Here we're exploring the use of stacking in post to create a long exposure look from a burst of images. It's a very esoteric technique, but can prove very useful in certain circumstances: you could, for example, find yourself in a situation where you want to achieve a long exposure look to some water, but don't have either a means of stabilisation or any ND filters to cut down the light for a slower shutter speed. I've also provided a ZIP archive with image samples for two of the compositions so you can stack them and see the effect. Big Stopper - Watch on YouTube - Read article - Download sample images In this video we're taking a look at setting up the camera for a "big stopper" effect with landscapes, as well as exploring stacking in post production to both enhance and emulate the effect. Also provided is a ZIP archive with image samples for two of the examples so you can experiment with stacking them. Polarisers - Watch on YouTube - Read article In this short and sweet video we're taking a look at polarisers, examining their benefits and caveats. Portrait Panoramas - Watch on YouTube - Read article Check out how to capture more vertical space in your panoramas by shooting in portrait orientation. --- Hope you find them interesting and useful!

affinity photo Making a map in Affinity Photo (Timelapse)
melior64 posted a topic in Share your workI'm currently trying out the free trial of Affinity Photo and decided to spend the evening streaming - I thought it would make a neat timelapse! The one major thing that I couldn't figure out was text on a path. Really enjoying how easy it is to transition from 14 years of Photoshop. I am excited to see what else I can do with this!
placing mp4 file
LLM posted a topic in Affinity on iPad QuestionsI saw this video on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX_h98OW4-8&list=WL&index=14&t=754s It's about compositing video into an image and the tutorial is made for Photoshop. However, I wondered if it is possible to do the same on either WIN desktop or ipad pro 2017? I have been unable to place the downloaded mp4 file onto ipad and thought this may not be available in Affinity Photo?
This is a video of me talking about a couple of the problems with how Designer deals with color, and likely Affinity Photo as well. And this video should explain at least somewhat well why the gradients are too dark. If there are any Affinity devs active here, a response/acknowledgement of the problem/solution from them would be appreciated. Thanks! P.S. Shortly after I made this vid, I actually did go and buy AD. So I hope even more now that these problems get fixed. Like the point I tried to make in the video, would these issues really be that hard to program out? affinitydesignerproblem.mp4
[APh] Frame By Frame Animation
segovo posted a topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo on DesktopAnimatior in Affinity Photo, and or Timeline?? I think that it would be super cool if Affinity Photo like Photoshop added frame by frame animation, this is a huge downside to using Affinity Photo for me, I don't think it should become a seperate product since, well, I already have Affinity Photo, I do not need a full fledged animator and they already have their hands busy. The idea would be you could makes frames and export them as .gifs and maybe .mp4's? that would be cool! all the features would pretty much be a copy of photoshop (maybe some cool feature aswell.), then cartoonists could animate, photo editors could do some sick things and designers could make sick banners and internet .gifs, If affinity added this, I would completely forget about photoshop and leave it in the dust, affinity is amazing and with animation it would be great! Thanks for reading this post! please consider this :D - Segovo
What is the preferred method for reserving page space for video and other media? As Publisher has no facility for inserting various forms of media content such as Vimeo, YouTube, or media players, for modern online document publication, so; therefore space needs to be reserved and replaceable after rendering to PDF. Should a picture frame rectangle or just a rectangle (or another shape) be used for PDF editing?
Animations and video?
Ayleigh posted a topic in Feedback for the Affinity Suite of ProductsAnother thing I was wondering...can you do any type of animations in Affinity aa of now? Like you can with Adobe. And if not, do you guys think this may be something they do in the future? With the steady climb in popularity of video and animation, I think it would be really cool if Affinity did implant that in some way. Either added with Designer or even a new app similar to After Effects would be cool. I'm still going to use Designer and Photo but I'm really trying to eliminate any need to have to use Adobe ever again and be locked into their contracts. I was just curious. Thank you in advance!
Video (frame by frame editing)
Garrettcorona posted a topic in Feedback for Affinity Photo on iPadRequesting the ability to import a video file that breaks down into frames that have layers, edit each frame like a photo, play the video back, and export video. Would be productive for video touch ups, VFX and tittles. I could imagine some cool techniques using the liquid brush and some of Affinities other tools on video frames
Interactive PDF
bryan posted a topic in Feedback for Affinity Publisher on DesktopI've tried using the search tool on the forums... but I get lots of results that have nothing to do with the Publisher Beta. So, my question is: Does Affinity Publisher support embedding video files? I realize that there is some information regarding Affinity's current limited ability to import a variety of file types. But, are there plans to support placing video (and, dare I say it) animated GIFs/PNGs inside a document for export to interactive PDF?
I'm perfectly fine sticking with an already well developed animation program. But its always good to have a non subscription program you like as a backup.
affinity designer A tiger
Kasper-V posted a topic in Share your workI'm working through the AD Workbook, and the first example seemed a little too easy for an old hand (or do I mean know-all?) like me, so I decided to try something a little more ambitious. So I did a tiger. It wasn't bad, but I thought I could do better ... so I did another one. Here it is ... This is reduced to about 70% of the original size. In the book, Ben The Illustrator says he often works from videos rather than still photos, so I looked out one or two videos on the internet. This image is made from two stills, as the real thing didn't look exciting enough! I made vector shapes on separate layers of: the body and nearer legs; the tail; the head; the further legs; and the stripes -- the stripes I clipped to their layers so i didn't have to fiddle about with the edges. I saved that as an AD file, then as an AP file, which I then edited with some motion and radial blur to give a sense of movement. As I went along, I duplicated some of the layers and rasterised them, so I could add some shading and clip them. Finally, I made up a background from a couple of texture images, and added a shadow underneath the animal.
Hi Affinity forum, I have created this blog post and video on how to add contrast in three different ways in Affinity Photo. Check it out here: Add Contrast Like A Pro - Using Affinity Photo I hope you like it. Feel free to share it. Thanks, Peter Dam Dam-photo.com
I've seen several people posting time-lapsed videos of their drawings in Affinity Designer for iPad, from start to finish. They aren't image sequences, they are sped up screen recordings. I'm not quite sure if this is something that Affinity enables internally? Or, if they are using some third party gear to capture their actions on the iPad's screen? At the very least, exporting the image history to an image sequence would allow for a time-lapsed "build" over time to be exported and shared. How are people creating time-lapsed videos of their drawing in Affinity Designer on iPad?

affinity photo Christmas video for 2018
Kasper-V posted a topic in Share your workYes, it's that time of year again. My Christmas video is made with a 'borrowed' image, chopped up and manipulated with Affinity Photo, animated with Anime Studio (a third-party package marketed by Serif a few years back) and brought together in Serif MoviePlus X6. Merry Christmas!
glennmaguire posted a topic in Feedback for Affinity Designer on DesktopA video import option would be great, whether thats streaming video from Vimeo or actually inserted into the document. Then being able to output as a PDF and send to clients would be invaluable. I appreciate it would create larger files but this is way better option that filling a document full of links. Great product so far Thanks Glenn

text: Wess 2,211 #1 Posted November 27, 2017 Sorry if a duplicate thread but hat's off to the front page (yea there is one) for putting up a video I missed. I was enjoying the great footage coming out of the Volvo race and then this crossed my screen and I remembered the southern ocean videos of the VG boats last year... and suddenly the Volvo stuff just seems so... old. HOLY SH*T!! Aerodynamics meet hydrodynamics. I have done the monohull and multihull sailing thing and love them both. Multis have always had the speed edge and big multis now go around the world faster (even single handed) than most any surface based powerboat can (with the possible exception of a nuclear powered aircraft carrier). Pretty amazing. And now with foiling, monohull sailboats are catching up to the multis and could(?) eventually prove to be faster! Even as a now multihull guy, I love what the VG boats are and the innovation. Same thing with the wing sail foiling AC cats. But equally I love what the AC has just proposed with a foiling monohull. I am curious to see if in the world of foiling if the monhull platform can in fact be faster than the multi. But either way, what a great time to be around and see the development and changes in sailing. Maxi-multis! Wings! Foiling!! Damn amazing stuff and remarkable innovation and evolution and progress in a sport/activity that had been so stale for so long... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screen Innovations Adds Three Colored Cables to Zero-G Screens
Last year, Screen Innovations rolled out their "Rollable Television" that removed the typical black masks around the top and bottom of a projection screen. The streamlined screen gave the illusion of floating, thanks to two Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE) cables.
Those same cables now come in three new colors -- Sky Blue, Forest Green, and Warm Gray in addition to the offered White, Gray, and Black.
"We ran Zero-G through an extensive destructive testing cycle, and standard aircraft cable continued to have a metal failure due to friction created in each individual stainless strand. We moved to UHMwPE cable because it is 80% lighter than a comparably strong steel cable, far more flexible, longer-lasting, and it maintains its strength and flexibility in all conditions," said Ryan Paul, Director of Design at SI. "On top of that, it has the lowest carbon footprint across its service life of any comparable alternative. At SI, it takes the best to make the best."
The colored cables hope to give homeowners the ultimate illusion of a floating screen by matching almost any environment background. The best part? SI offers the cables at no additional charge.

The Foschini Group [JSE:TFG] last week launched its latest offering, the myTFGworld online shopping destination, a move the company says will set the stage for dominance in the online retail space.
The company said its e-commerce goal was to have all its SA brands trading online by 2020. With 17 brands trading online, and only the jewellery brands still to move into the e-commerce space, it considers its efforts a success.
According to a statement by TFG, the new online space - which offers a single URL - is set to include all 17 group brands, as well as affiliate brands. These include book store Readers' Warehouse, French gift chain Pylones, toy store Hamley's, and flower and gifting service Bloomable.
"We have 17 TFG brands trading online, and in order to provide greater convenience to our clients, it made sense to also offer a site which brings them all together and supplement gaps," TFG CIO and board director Brent Curry told Fin24.
"Our online platform has been extremely successful, with many online stores consistently outperforming the top offline stores," Curry said.
According to the retailer, its @home, hi and Totalsports online stores all count among their top three traders in the country, compared to its brick-and-mortar stores, with basket sizes online continuing to roughly double that of in-store purchases.
"Online sales amount to around 6% of TFG's total local and international sales, and we expect this figure to grow as we introduce new online brands," said Curry.
Taking on Amazon
With its target market being skewed towards women, who make up 65% of its online shoppers, the retailer says its aim is to create a convenient shopping experience for consumers by providing a more modern, experiential interface that is user-friendly and easy to use.
The company aims to create an inspirational and story-led customer experience. "When a customer visits a site, they will be prompted by a series of stories which focus on a particular idea, trend, theme or category."
The myTFGworld online destination is part of the company's plan to take on global marketplaces, such as Amazon.com.
"myTFGworld is South Africa's first online marketplace, supported by 2 652 brick stores. The vision for myTFGworld is to be a very large player in the online space, so when you think online shopping you think myTFGworld.
"We want to ensure that TFG is ready for Amazon's entry into the market," said Curry.
By 2020, the company hopes to include brands that will cover diverse categories including food, meals, education, décor, pets, babies, data, ticketing, streaming and drones.

Turkey Hunting for Field & Stream
Earlier this year John Toolan at Field & Stream came to us with an idea for a turkey hunting feature. They wanted to photograph hunters in a grassy field, but wanted the background all white to work with the page design. After kicking around the idea of taking models, gear, camera equipment, wardrobe, and more out to a field to shoot on location, we decided it would be easier and more importantly, the quality would be better if we brought the field to us. A car load of native grass and 600 pounds of dirt later we had our grassy field.
Huge thanks to Bill Sallans and Jessica Pages for the use of your pup Pilot.
And some behind the scenes shots. Apparently there were a large number of lady bugs living in the grass we dug up. We kept finding them in our car for weeks after the shoot.

In April, 2008, I was honored to be invited and to read at the Carmine Street Metrics poetry reading series in Greenwich Village, New York City. I met some very fine poets for the first time, including Terese Coe, Wendy Sloan, Nemo Hill, Rick Mullin, Carolyn Raphael and Claudia Gary.
Here's the link to the poem in the current issue of Umbrella.
