1/17/2024 0 Comments Rear projection shower curtainObviously a regular tripod would probably be best, but in my case- I had one of those flexible-leg tripod things, and the exercise bike was in the perfect spot for this. Projector on a cheap flex-tripod, mounted to a dusty exercise bike. So, in a nutshell- here is what my setup looks like. Based on another recommendation I found online, I made one using a white EVA shower curtain! I know it seems silly, but I used to do corporate AV- and this thing works as well as rear projection screens costing $100 or more! Here is an Amazon link, but really- you can find them at any big-box store as-well. I got one for $75 on-sale last week from Amazon, although they are usually around $100. Someone on one of the forums I’m on mentioned these: So- I decided to try a rear-projection setup.įirst up- the projector. I also wanted to try out a Virtual Matrix, since it just wasn’t going to be practical to build a large enough one this year for what I wanted to do. Screen Goo is expensive but it really makes a big differnece to the brightness and quality of image you get.A few of the sequences I downloaded/purchased this year actually have video files. If you can't get banner pvc then shower curtains are better than bed sheets, if you must use bed sheets then new are better than old, if you must use old then washed is better than not, if your working somewhere with UV light then washing with ecover or pure soap is better than using Daz or Persil which contain UV reactive chemicals which makes the sheets glow under UV light, further spoiling an already less than ideal image.įor front projection (if I'm allowed to mention it even though the OP didn't ask?!) then regular muslin painted with "Screen Goo" is really quite effective. Its also prone to tearing if you not careful with you attachment method. Failing that the next best thing is banner grade PVC designed for printed rear illuminated adverts (like you get on bus stops) this stuff is quite good at avoiding hotspots and can be obtained in seamless widths of upto 4 meters, its fairly expensive though unless you know a friendly print shop who will sell you offcuts. If you need to make custom screens then it is best to use a proper rear projection screen surface from someone like rosco. So the question isn't really budget related, but is a question about how well alternative fabrics work as screens? The answer to that is that for rear projection a proper screen surface makes a really big difference to the quality of image, without a proper rear projection screen your image will suffer from hotspot and a poor viewing angle. Has anyone done this in the past and did it work well? Instead of hiring a couple of screens as an experiment I am considering fabricating a pair of rear projection screens, in the style of a conference flat with thin white fabric. After all the longevity of a good screen means it will still be in use after 2 or 3 replacement projectors have been brought.Ī concurrent post has been automatically merged from this point on. Include the cost of a good screen in the original budget and allow the fundrasing people to get on with it. At which point renting a fastfold is not significantly more expensive (unless we are talking about a long run of shows, in which case stick 50p on the ticket price and you'll have the budget to buy a fastfold!)Ĭhurches and community organisations might find it harder to get the money together I suppose, but really if they are buying an AV system why hasn't the cost of a good screen been included from the outset? It is bad advice to say "oh well a bed sheet will do". That's assuming the carpenter will work for nothing. I'd be very surprised if you can make anything approaching a neat sturdy bedsheet based screen for less than £100 if you include the cost of wood for the frame, legs and fireproofing. Scrimping on the screen doesn't make any sense to me, its like going out to buy a hi-fi and spending all your money on the amp then plugging in some knackered old speakers you got from a car boot and expecting it to sound good. Investing in a decent screen will do more to make your image look good than anything else. You can forget transporting them too (unless you have a free lorry to move them in) I have fastfolds which are over 10 years old and still going strong and looking good. The quality difference for rear projection is astounding and unless you have free access to timber and a carpenter then the cost of home made bed sheet screens is surprisingly high given how shonkey the end result is. Fastfold rental is not really expensive though is it?

1/17/2024 0 Comments Cincinnati zoo silverback gorillaThe zoo director had seen Harambe, who weighed in at more than 420 pounds, crush a coconut with one hand.Īnd the gorilla, known by his keepers as being handsome, smart and easy to train, was already "agitated and disoriented" by the boy's presence. Western lowland gorillas are three times bigger than a human, with arms as big as our legs, and about six times stronger, Maynard estimated. And with Harambe's strength, such aggression could have been extremely dangerous. Tranquilizing Harambe would not have taken effect instantaneously and might have resulted in displaced aggression toward the child, Maynard said. "This child was being dragged around his head was banging on the concrete," Maynard said. The decision was not made lightly, Maynard said. View Gallery: Remembering Harambe the gorilla Soon, the zoo's dangerous animal response team dispatched Harambe with a single shot. Harambe carried the boy up a ladder to dry land and continued dragging him around.Ī security team emptied the exhibit. The gorilla went down into the water and grabbed the boy by the ankle. Zoo visitors – and there were plenty of them, more than 7,000 on Saturday – reacted. Keepers tried to call the gorillas inside. The boy, who has not been identified yet by authorities, started splashing around. From there, he dropped 15 feet to the moat, into a foot and a half of water. He made his way through the bushes to the edge of the moat, a distance of approximately 4 feet. Just before 4 p.m., a 3-year-old boy went over a stainless steel rail that's a little more than 3 feet high, with vertical bars every eight feet. Zoo officials have pieced it together as follows: Maynard offered more specific details about Saturday's incident. "The exhibit is safe, the barrier is safe," he said. Department of Agriculture twice a year and by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums every five years for accreditation, he said. Gorilla World's barrier setup exceeds required protocols and has been in place for 38 years without incident, Maynard said. Exhibits are inspected by the U.S. The zoo's been here 143 years, so that's saying a lot." "We have never had to kill a dangerous animal in the middle of an emergency situation. "It's unprecedented," Maynard told the crowd of assembled reporters. Those are among the key points Cincinnati Zoo Director Thane Maynard made at a packed news conference on Monday afternoon to address the death of Harambe, the 17-year-old western lowland gorilla killed Saturday after a child fell into his Gorilla World exhibit.

Here is to hoping this is only the beginning for Ritt Momney.2003 Uncirculated $2 Two Dollar Bill Printed Fort Worth with. “Sunny Boy” is the perfect COVID-19, breakup, feel good, catch all album that indie-pop has seen in a long while. Ritt Momney gives fans of indie-pop a refreshing, double take album with “Sunny Boy.” For those who cannot get enough of the band, the “Sunny Boy” tour will kick of Feb. As the name suggests, “Sunny Boy” does follow a rather light and breezy instrumental pattern, giving it a “drive with the windows down” feeling. The second verse reflects the struggles of living during the pandemic era with the lines, “These days stuck in my phone, I hardly feel like I’m free/Caged up in my body, hardly feeling like me/Dirt on my mind, my feet are so clean.” Artfully demonstrating the impacts staying in one place can have on the mind, “Sunny Boy” reflects what it means to be hopeful in the midst of despair. The titular track, “Sunny Boy” falls in the second slot on the album and sets up the rest of the track list perfectly. While this may not be the Ritt Momney, “Put Your Records On” listeners are used to, it is certainly a more compelling and evolved form of the young artist. These are displayed prominently on the album’s ninth track, “Escalator.” Synthesized beats and notes accentuate the lyrics “Call me a ghost/But mind you/I’ve got some pain so real it came alive,” to create a haunting ballad about pain and loss. Ritt Momney has grown instrumentally since his debut, gaining more electronic sounds and elements. Echoing vocals and dissonant songs are also features of the track, pulling together the idea that opposing forces can come together. The debut single from the album, “HEADSTART,” encapsulates the message of the album with lyrics like “Cuz’ there’s no part of mе that can’t be torn apart/If you’re not ready to leave, then I’ll take the headstart.” Reflecting a torn relationship and taking the steps necessary to remove oneself from a bad situation, “HEADSTART” has the lyrical force Ritt Momney fans crave. When asked about the inspiration for the album by Broadway World Music, Rutter said the album reflects learning that life and healing is sometimes more about what you need to lose in order to grow and not necessarily about what you can gain. Ritt Momney gained the most recognition for the cover of Corinne Bailey Rae’s “Girl Put Your Records On,” which began trending on TikTok, the social media platform that features short videos and clips. Heavily influenced by his relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Rutter’s early music reflected the impact of church life on young people. Originally a high school group, Ritt Momney became the solo act of Jack Rutter in 2018. “Sunny Boy,” the sophomore album from Ritt Momney, the indie-pop singer-songwriter hailing from Salt Lake City, Utah, stuns with its laid back, bright sound.Īfter gaining recognition for the breakthrough single, “Young Adult,” Ritt Momney released his first studio album “Her and All of My Friends” in 2019. 1/17/2024 0 Comments Houdini magician costumeI believe Rosa appreciated this from the very beginning. And being privy to the mechanics of a magical feat destroys any sense of illusion. The performance - the performance - of a stunning magical feat, and barely has their initial amazement subsided than they are asking (I hear them, I see it in their faces): How the fuck did he do that?Īs I say, magic, as an art form, isn't the mere presentation of puzzles to confound the onlooker it isn't about tricks, it's about Spectators, for all this, remain fixated on secrets, on trickery. When I'm on stage, I'm an actor playing the part of a magician. To be exact, I was a member of an undergraduate drama societyĪt Oxford (Poly, as was, not the University). In truth, tricks are incidental if magic consists of mere trickery, then acting requires nothing but costume and make-up. That is, I perform feats of conjuring and illusion for the purposes of entertainment. Trickery implies a perpetrator and a victim. To trick someone suggests you have (to your benefit and their disadvantage) cheated, swindled or deceived them in some underhand way. Besides, divulging the `trick' might satisfy an onlooker's curiosity, but magic isn't about Exposure, especially in the immediate aftermath of an effect, can't be anything but anticlimactic. Methods are seldom as interesting as the feats performed by their means if I tell the audience how it's done, I diminish their respectįor me. No, my reason for keeping schtum is pure self-interest. This isn't mere adherence on my part to a tenet of the Magic Circle, nor stubborn respect for the traditions of our profession (although it's true we've endeavoured to guard `Exposure' - that is, deliberate revelation of the secret means by which magic is accomplished, as opposed to ` disclosure'īy accident or incompetence - is discreditable. I never divulge the methodology of a specific effect. Ask away, I won't tell you how it's done. 1/16/2024 0 Comments Iago npr echoesHe eventually isolated an eight-note melodic phrase beginning with four C-notes and two B-notes that he said seemed to indicate some musical borrowing on the part of Perry's songwriters.ĭecker said the melody for both phrases sits on the same note for four beats before descending in pitch.

Pink’s decision, rendered in April, says public policy requires the courts “not to increase or contribute to exploitation of sex work, and thus favours a regime that gives aggrieved sex workers access to the civil courts when they have a civil claim.” After several text exchanges, Samuelson eventually paid Sheehan $300, leaving $1,800 outstanding. But the next morning, when she attempted to take cash out of an ATM with his bank card, the transaction was denied. “Sex work is work, legal work, and deserves to be treated like other legal work, and if people chose not to pay, they can get a remedy in small claims court.”Īccording to documents filed in Nova Scotia’s small claims court, Sheehan charged $300 an hour for her services, and spent seven hours with Samuelson on Jan. “Another small claims judge wouldn’t necessarily have to follow it, nor a higher court.”Īnd while the decision doesn’t have a binding precedent, it could still influence other court rulings, he said. “The usual court hierarchy doesn’t apply,” said Wayne MacKay, professor emeritus at Dalhousie University’s law school. Wesley says, “I hope the minister of justice and prime minister read the decision, read the law, and consider it’s time to change it.”Īnd while Pink’s decision says that both sides in the court case believe it is the first of its kind in Canada, a legal expert questions its importance on jurisprudence because the ruling was rendered in small claims court. That law emphasizes the importance of discouraging sex work and denouncing and prohibiting the purchase of sexual services “because it creates a demand for prostitution.” Wesley says the small claims court decision actually goes against the 2014 federal sex work law, called the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act. “There are many consequences of being criminalized, even if we win in court.” “Even if there’s a chance she can win, there’s always a risk of workplaces being shut down, police being alerted to the activity, being evicted, deported,” she said. Going to court exposes a sex worker - and potentially everyone else she is associated with - to the justice system, Wesley said. The vast majority of sex workers, she said, won’t seek financial recourse via the court system because sex work is still criminalized in Canada. Real change will occur once politicians decriminalize sex work, said Sandra Wesley, executive director of Stella, a Montreal-based organization by and for sex workers. The public is beginning to understand the difference between “extremely harmful, predatory things like sex trafficking, and legitimate sex work by an adult who is a worker, pays taxes, has a business.”Īs a response to the ruling, Halpern and Sheehan said they planned to hold workshops for sex workers to help them understand their legal rights.īut not everyone in the sex industry sees the court’s decision as a step forward. The decision also reflects a changing attitude within society and the law toward sex work, Halpern said. “This type of issue had never been addressed before in court,” Rose said in a recent interview.Įmma Halpern, executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Mainland Nova Scotia, says the decision empowers sex workers to seek legal remedies to enforce their contracts. Sheehan’s lawyer, Jessica Rose, says she and her client wanted to expose the court to the “economic realities of doing sex work.” As well, Rose said they wanted to raise awareness about “what is needed as far as access to the civil justice system to ensure sex workers are treated fairly by their clients.” Paying for sex, however, remains illegal. Sex work remains criminalized in Canada, but a 2014 law removed criminal penalties for people, like Sheehan, who sell sexual services. Samuelson argued that the agreement was invalid because it is illegal to purchase sexual services, but court adjudicator Darrel Pink said the contract could still be enforced and awarded Sheehan $1,800. HALIFAX - In a legal decision described as the first of its kind in Canada, a Halifax sex worker successfully sued a client for nonpayment of services, but actors in the industry are conflicted about the ruling’s impacts.įormer sex worker Brogan Sheehan took Bradley Samuelson to small claims court after he didn’t fully pay her fee, which both parties had agreed to beforehand. 1/16/2024 0 Comments Tax h r blockDeluxe online – $29.99 (State additional $36.99): Choose this option if you’re a homeowner, need to itemize donations or have an HSA.Free online – $0 (State included): The Free online option is best if you have a W2, have kids and rent your home.H&R Block obviously has their in-person option (more on this below), but they also offer four pricing tiers for their online tax prep: Self Employed+– $64.95 (State additional $44.95): This version is designed to guarantee the maximum tax benefit for self-employed filers, freelancers, sole proprietors, and independent contractors.Premier+ – $34.95 (State additional $44.95): Tax preparation for investments and rental property, plus you’ll get prioritized support.Deluxe+ – $24.95 (State additional $44.95): For homeowners-deductions, credits and adjustments.

Avoid planting near eggplants, peppers, potatoes, or tomatoes. Borage is deer-proof.īrassicas ( broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collards, kale, kohlrabi, turnip) – All benefit from chamomile, dill, mint, rosemary, and sage. It's also excellent for the soil and compost. Borage is very attractive to pollinators, so plant it around squash, melons, and cucumbers for improved pollination. Borage deters tomato hornworm and cabbage moth caterpillars, and is particularly good planted near tomatoes and strawberries. Avoid planting beets near pole beans.īorage – Excellent all around companion plant. Add cut mint leaves as a mulch for beets. Plant with bush beans, Brassicas, corn, garlic, kohlrabi, leeks, lettuce, and mint. Soya beans repel Japanese beetles and chinch bugs.īeets – Beet greens and scraps are very good for the compost, returning captured manganese and iron to the soil via the composting process. Soya beans – Good for fixing nitrogen, and acting as a mulch against weeds. Pole beans and beets stunt each other’s growth. Avoid planting near chives, garlic, leeks, and onions. Plant with Brassicas, carrots, celery, chard, corn, cucumber, eggplant, peas, potatoes, radish, and strawberries. Avoid planting near onions.īush & Pole beans – All beans fix nitrogen in the soil. Basil helps repel aphids, asparagus beetles, mites, flies, mosquitoes, and tomato horn worm.īroad beans – Excellent for fixing nitrogen in the soil. Also good with asparagus, oregano, and peppers.
