What Does Polyurethane Do To Wood?
If you’re looking for a way to protect your wooden surfaces while also enhancing their appearance, a high gloss polyurethane wood finish may be just what you need. This type of timber varnish is known for its durability and ability to create a shiny, reflective surface that can make any piece of wood look brand new.
However, before you dive into using this type of finish, it’s important to understand its properties, including its drying time and the difference between high gloss and semi-gloss finishes. In this blog, we’ll explore what polyurethane does to wood and what you need to know before using it on your own projects.
What is polyurethane?
Polyurethane is a type of resin created by mixing a polyol chemical and an isocyanate. When these two components are mixed together, they form a tough plastic-like material that can be used to coat wood surfaces. It is available in both water-based and oil-based varieties, each offering different characteristics.
- Water-based polyurethanes offer better clarity and less yellowing over time.
- While oil-based versions are more durable and can provide a richer finish.
How does high gloss polyurethane affect wood?
High gloss polyurethane can be used to provide a beautiful, long-lasting finish on wood surfaces. It is especially important to use a high gloss finish if you are looking for a durable, water-resistant product. As the name suggests, this type of polyurethane will dry to the touch and leave behind a shiny, glossy surface. Applying high gloss polyurethane is relatively simple and can be done with either a natural bristle brush or an applicator pad.
It is important to apply thin coats of the product when using high gloss polyurethane, as thick coats tend to leave behind an uneven and blotchy finish. If you’ve previously coated your wooden surface with another type of finish, such as a stain or varnish, it is important to remove this before applying the polyurethane.
What are the benefits of using a high gloss polyurethane wood finish?
The benefits of using a high gloss polyurethane wood finish are numerous. For starters, it adds a layer of protection against water damage and other types of wear and tear. A high-gloss finish also enhances the grain pattern in the wood, giving it an attractive appearance that will last for many years. Plus, this type of finish is relatively easy to apply and won’t require much maintenance over time.
What is the proper technique for applying high gloss polyurethane to wood?
To apply a high gloss polyurethane finish on wood, follow these steps for a professional result:
- Prepare the surface: Ensure the wood is clean and smooth by sanding it gently. Start with coarse-grit sandpaper and progress to finer grits for a polished surface.
- Clean the wood: Use mineral spirits and a cloth to remove dust and oils from the wood. This step promotes better adhesion of the timber varnish.
- Choose the right product: Select a water-based high gloss polyurethane for its durability and easy application. It has a quicker drying time and emits fewer fumes compared to oil-based finishes.
- Stir the polyurethane: Thoroughly stir the polyurethane before use to achieve a consistent and even finish. Avoid shaking the container to prevent air bubbles.
- Apply the first coat: Use a high-quality brush or a lint-free cloth to apply the polyurethane in long, even strokes, following the wood grain. Apply the finish with a light touch and avoid overbrushing.
- Allow drying time: Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended drying time between coats. Typically, water-based products dry faster than their oil-based counterparts.
- Sand between coats: Once the first coat has dried, lightly sand the surface using fine-grit sandpaper. This step helps create a smooth and receptive surface for subsequent coats. Remove any sanding dust with a tack cloth.
- Apply additional coats: Repeat the application process, adding multiple coats of high gloss polyurethane for enhanced protection and a deep shine. Maintain long, even strokes to ensure a uniform finish.
- Final touches: Once the last coat has dried, inspect the surface for imperfections. If necessary, lightly sand the area and apply an additional coat for a flawless result.
By following these steps and using water-based polyurethane, you can achieve a durable finish with a high gloss sheen. Remember to apply the finish in long even strokes, sand between coats, and apply multiple coats for optimal protection and a stunning appearance.
What are some maintenance tips for a high gloss polyurethane?
To keep your high gloss polyurethane wood finish looking its best, it’s important to take some steps to maintain and preserve it.
- One of the most important things to do is clean the surface regularly to prevent dirt and dust from building up. Use a damp cloth or microfiber cloth to gently remove any dirt or debris that has accumulated on the surface.
- For tougher stains, you can use a mild detergent mixed with warm water and carefully scrub the area. Be sure not to use too much pressure as this could damage the finish. If you do need to use a harsher cleaning agent, make sure you rinse away any residue thoroughly afterwards with clean water.
- When cleaning your wood surface, always make sure you dry it off with a soft cloth afterwards. This will help to prevent water spots and other cosmetic damage.
- Additionally, you can apply a light coat of wax or polish every few months to keep your polyurethane finish looking new.
Following these simple maintenance tips will ensure that your high gloss polyurethane wood finish looks great for years to come.
In summary, when deciding if varnish or polyurethane is the right finish for you, it’s important to consider the benefits of each. Polyurethane is a great choice for protecting wood surfaces and adding a beautiful, long-lasting finish. To get the most out of it, be sure to apply thin coats in one direction and allow each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next one. Additionally, regular cleaning and maintenance are important to keep your high gloss finish looking its best over time.

SOURCE RANGE NUCLEAR INSTRUMENTATION
Figure 35 shows a typical source range channel in functional form.
Figure 35 Source Range Channel
B10 lined or BF3 gas-filled proportional counters are normally used as source range detectors.
Proportional counter output is in the form of one pulse for every ionizing event; therefore, there
is a series of random pulses varying in magnitude representing neutron and gamma ionizing
The pulse height may only be a few millivolts, which is too low to be directly used without
amplification. The linear amplifier amplifies the input signal by a factor of several thousand to
raise the pulse height to several volts.
The discriminator excludes passage of pulses that are less than a predetermined level. The
function of the discriminator is to exclude noise and gamma pulses that are lower in magnitude
than neutron pulses.
The pulses are then sent to the pulse integrator where they are integrated to give a signal that is
proportional to the logarithm of the count rate.
The log count rate amplifier then amplifies the signal, which varies directly as the logarithm of
the pulse rate, in the detector. The logarithmic count rate is then displayed on a meter with a
logarithmic scale in counts per second.

Anderson faced with difficult decision
The end is nearing for James Anderson, the No. 34 ranked player in the class of 2007. The four-star prospect from Junction City (AR) High School placed Kansas and Oklahoma State at the top of his list last week, and was hoping to put an end to his recruitment this week. However, the decision making process has been more difficult than Anderson originally envisioned. Will a decision be made this week, or will Anderson wait for the early signing period?
As it stands right now, fans from Kansas and Oklahoma State will have to wait until next week for Anderson's much anticipated decision. The decision can't come soon enough for Hammett, who is preparing for Junction City's regular season opener, which takes place on November 14.

Known for their expertise in creating stunning graphic-rich 3D slot machines, Betsoft Gaming have once again exceeded all expectations by delivering yet another exciting and unique game. The WhoSpunIt 3D slot machine has a unique murder-mystery theme (hence the title referencing the popular ‘Who Done It?’ phrase), features several fully animated 3D characters (five to be exact), and contains several levels of gameplay which sees you collect clues to solve the murder.
WhoSpunIt Theme and Gameplay
As with the majority of 3D slot machines developed by Betsoft Gaming, WhoSpunIt contains 5 reels and 30 paylines. Coin denominations range from just 0.02 to 1 and between 1 and 5 coins can be bet on each payline, meaning a potential maximum bet of 150 coins per spin. There is also a maximum payout amount of 320,500 coins available on this slot machine.
WhoSpunIt is a murder-mystery slot machine set in a luxurious mansion called Wellington Manor which sees players tasked with collecting evidence clues in order to solve who committed the murder of Mr Farmington. There are a total of five animated 3D characters in the game who are the suspects and they are: Covington the Butler, Miss Ellie the Housekeeper, Dr.Van Austren the Physician, Miss Chatham the Socialite, and Mr Wellington the host and owner of the property.
There is a wide variety of symbols used in the WhoSpunIt slot machine due to it having several clue modes which have their own specific symbols, but we will talk about those later. The symbols used in the main part of the slot include the five murder suspects (Mr Wellington, Covington, Miss Ellie, Dr.Van Austen, and Miss Chatham), a safe which is hidden behind a portrait, magnifying glass, a board on the wall with information on the murder, and the legs of the murder victim Mr Farmington (this is the highest value standard symbol and is worth 2500 credits if you land 5 on the reels).
WhoSpunIt Bonus Features
The WhoSpunIt slot machine is unique and plays in more of a ‘game style’ than the other slots currently released. When you first begin playing WhoSpunIt you will notice a five minute timer counting down above the reels. This is when the ‘Detective Mode’ will begin and within these five minutes you must spin the reels as many times as possible to collect random ‘clue spins’ and you are also awarded your basic symbol wins while doing so.
The number of clue spins you have accumulated are stated on the bottom left of the slot machine and once the countdown timer has finished you will begin the detective mode. There are actually 3 different levels to the detective mode (location, murder weapon, and critical clue), all with different symbols, and the number of spins you have in order to solve each level depends on how many clue spins you accumulated in the base game. In order to complete each level you must accumulate five stars on one of the five options each game.
Location (Level 1): The first level is discovering the location where the murder took place. The locations include the Gazebo, Bathroom, Study Room, Dining Room and Kitchen. Accumulate five stars on one of these locations and you will then progress to level 2. (Note: Between each levels you still need to accumulate clue spins in the base game).
Murder Weapon (Level 2): Next we must discover the killers weapon of choice. This is between a Noose, Wrench, Knife, Poison, or a Gun. Once again five stars are needed for one weapon before progressing to level 3.
Critical Clue (Level 3): Now we know the location and the murder weapon we must discover the critical clue to help us choose which of the five characters committed the murder. The clues featured include a Stethoscope, Cigarette, Spilled Tea, a Watch, and a Duster. Again, land five stars on one of these clues and you will complete the level.
Solving the Murder: With all of the clues and information gathered, we know must decide ‘who done it‘. This mode is activated by landing the evidence symbol in the center of reel 3 and sees you solve the murder by an interrogating, or simply accusing, the character of your choice. You are then rewarded bonus credits for completing the game.
On top of all this there is also an exciting free spins mode featured. This is triggered in the base game by landing symbols of all five characters on the reels at any one time and sees you rewarded with 10 free spins. The most exciting aspect of this though is that you then get to choose one of the five characters, each of which has a different feature attached to them. This includes a 2x multiplier on your free spins, reels paying both ways, a 4x multiplier, 1-5 random wilds, or an expanding wild – all of which bring some lovely big wins from your free spins!

You feel a bit under the weather.
You have someone say or do something to you that hurts or insults you.
You have someone you care a lot for that is diagnosed with a serious illness.
You lose someone you love to death.
You lose your job, your finances are strained, and your bills continue to pile up.
Your children or grandchildren are behaving in a way that is hurtful or concerning.
Your marriage is in trouble.
The list could go on and on. These are things that could cause any normal person to feel negative, down and sad. Sometimes we will even feel down and sad and do not really have a clue as to why.
How we handle the things in our lives that bring us down really can be critical. Satan loves nothing more than to have us depressed – feeling defeated – moping around sad – seeing nothing but the negatives in our lives. It is up to us to help ourselves with the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
There are days every now and then that I wake up and just do not feel as perky as other days. So when I have my prayer time, I always start with a time of praise. I thank God for all of my blessings – which when I think about it are so very many. Just verbalizing my praise will many times lift me up from my down mood. If that does not work, then I can turn to an almost sure fire way to feel better, and that is music.
I have always loved music – it just speaks to me in a way that mere words cannot always do. The Christian contemporary, upbeat songs can just set my heart and mind fully on joy – putting a smile on my face and pep in my step. I think that is why I love so much of the music by TobyMac. He expresses wonderful messages in all his songs and the more upbeat messages get into my heart and soul to the point that I cannot get a song out of my head. It plays over and over in my mind bringing joy to my being.
In the Bible, you can read passage after passage about how worship with music is an important part of their lives. At times, the singers are even placed out in front of the army.
When Solomon had the Ark brought back to the Temple in Jerusalem, we are told in 2 Chronicles 5:11-13a (NLT): “Then the priests left the Holy Place. All the priests who were present had purified themselves, whether or not they were on duty that day. And the Levites who were musicians—Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and all their sons and brothers—were dressed in fine linen robes and stood at the east side of the altar playing cymbals, lyres, and harps. They were joined by 120 priests who were playing trumpets. The trumpeters and singers performed together in unison to praise and give thanks to the Lord. Accompanied by trumpets, cymbals, and other instruments, they raised their voices and praised the Lord with these words: ‘He is good! His faithful love endures forever!’” Can you even imagine that? 120 trumpets being played along with other instruments and singers?
2 Chronicles 20:21 (NLT): “After consulting the people, the king appointed singers to walk ahead of the army, singing to the Lord and praising him for his holy splendor. This is what they sang: ‘Give thanks to the Lord; his faithful love endures forever!’”
Musical praise, has it seems, always been a soothing salve to the souls of God’s people.
Yes, there are times that we can – maybe even should – feel sadness in our lives. We are even told in Ecclesiastes that there is a time for weeping. But, then it says there is a time for joy. (Ecclesiastes 3:4) But we can never allow the weeping, the sadness to overtake us. If we do, we let Satan win. Our God has defeated our enemies and for that we have plenty of reason for joy, for being and feeling positive. Revelation 19:6-7a (NLT) says: “Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder: ‘Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him.’”
I believe that positivity in our lives gives us not only joy and peace, but power. We need that power to truly make a difference. Think about it, do you enjoy being around a person that is sad, down, negative? A person that cannot seem to see any good in anything? As Christians, we have an obligation to sympathize with someone like that – an obligation to encourage them in any way we can, anyway that they will allow us. But there are some people that would just rather remain in that state of depression than yield to the uplifting words you have to offer. At that recognition, it is best to separate yourself from that person and pray for them. It is too easy for negativity to “rub off” and you can soon find yourself in the pit of despair with them.
I can still remember a time – probably about 49-50 years ago when two of my friends told me that I was too negative. I was truly shocked and somewhat hurt by those honest words. I was at a place where I was walking a strong, dedicated Christian life. I truly had no clue that I could have been perceived as a negative person. As that memory still infiltrates my mind to this day, it is a reminder of how we need to feverishly guard our thoughts and words. It is much too easy to open our mouths and allow the negative to come out – I am so guilty of that at times. To help with that possibility, I need to ask God to help me stop seeing the negative so much and start always seeing the positives around me.
I want to live my life with all the power I can contain; so, I need to let the positive seep into my heart, mind and soul. I need to always remain mindful of my thoughts, my words, and my actions. I believe that praise can be a key to this, so now I need to set myself on a path of praise and just watch the positive power fill my life.
How about you? Do you want power for your life? Do you want to be a positive person that can help and influence others?
Let us commit together to work toward those goals. Let us study praise in the Word and let it fill our lives to overflowing!

The pandemic and recession are hitting all age groups and industries. But for the first time in nearly 50 years, workers who are over 55 are experiencing unemployment at a greater level than those younger than them.
And according to a recent survey by AARP, 61% of older workers are concerned that they could lose their jobs this year, and age bias could be a contributing factor. This fear is not unwarranted. Two out of three people over the age of 45 have experienced age discrimination in the workforce, according to a another AARP study.
So where does age bias come from? What can be done about it?
There are many answers to those two questions. In this episode of Work in Progress, I sit down with David Gittins, the executive director of the nonprofit Age Inclusion in Media (AIM) to explore some of them. It’s AIM’s view that the problem has a lot to do with how older adults are portrayed in the media.
Misperceptions, Stereotypes, and Age Bias
“If we were to believe what we see on screen, or on TV, or reading books, we would believe anybody over the age of 50 is just waiting for retirement,” says Gittins. We would see someone “who is totally spent, who is just happy to be here.”
Gittins contends our perception of older adults is directly shaped by these and other stereotypes. One of the nonprofit’s goals is to force a change in how older age is portrayed on screen “to be one that is less routine, less stereotypical, and dehumanizing.”
“We very rarely get older characters who are seen as the center, have central lives, who have hopes and fears like everyone else, and who are just not portrayed as supporting or comedy sidekicks. The best thing in their lives is an occasional time spent with their children. It’s as though they don’t have aspirations for their own lives. They don’t live lives independent of their offspring.”
These stereotypes transcend fiction and create false perceptions of reality, he says. Hiring managers start to believe what they see. “The perception is they’re not very productive and they’re not very motivated. The reality is most older people are very, very productive. If people are retiring, or being forced to retire in their 50s and 60s, then we’re missing out on a great resource.”
Gittins adds, when we will start excluding people purely on their age “that means we’re going to have a huge pool of unemployed adults, people in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. With an aging population, that pool is going to get bigger and bigger.”
Consider these facts:
- For the first time in American history, the number of people over the age of 60 outnumber those under the age of 18
- The average lifespan in the United States is 79 years old
- 63 percent of adults aged 60-64 still work
- 40 percent of adults aged 65-69 still work
Breaking the Cycle by Creating a Multigenerational Workforce
The other part of AIM’s mission is to change the stories being told about older adults by including more older adults in the storytelling process.
“In TV writers’ rooms, for example, you don’t find many writers over the age of 55. If you’re over that age, you tend to be at a producer level. Below that, people who are actually writing the scripts tend to be much younger. That means people in their 20s or 30s, their perception of somebody in their 50s or 60s tends to be of somebody who is a parent, or grandparents.”
AIM supports programs to help older writers find their way into those writers’ rooms to help break the cycle of ageism.
“It boils down to four elements of write, show, believe, and do. If you don’t write it correctly, it’s not shown on screen correctly, then we don’t believe it correctly—we form stereotypes—and then we behave as though these false perceptions are reality.”
While the 50+ worker is sometimes seen as tech-phobic, unadaptable, or a social misfit in the work culture, what is being overlooked is the experience, knowledge, and soft skills the seasoned worker often brings with them to any job.
“Our mission is to champion age inclusivity across all media and entertainment platforms through programs that support career craft and growth,” says Gittins. “And that means we have a vision of seeing a future where talented people of all ages work together to accurately represent age just as a natural part of life.”
Creating a multigenerational workforce in all industries is a very important conversation, one I have had with Gittins many times, as I sit on the board of the AIM nonprofit. I am also an Encore Public Voices Fellow, a collaboration of the OpEd Project and Encore.org, a nonprofit dedicated to bridging generational divides.

Medical Malpractice And Stillbirths
The stillbirth of a baby can be one of the most traumatic experiences a parent will ever endure. Months of anticipation, preparation, and joy turn to pain and devastation in an instant. At Garau Germano, P.C., we are committed to representing families who have had to go through the pain of a stillbirth that could have been prevented by doctors and hospitals.
How Medical Negligence Leads To Stillbirths
Medical malpractice claims for stillbirth frequently arise when the doctor fails to heed warning signs before delivery that the baby may be in danger. An ultrasound may show a loss of amniotic fluid. The mother may develop a pregnancy-related form of high blood pressure (a condition known as preeclampsia), which places the baby under great stress. The baby’s fetal movements may decrease markedly. These and other signs may require a doctor to take interventions for the safety of the baby. When a doctor fails to appropriately respond to these signs and a baby is stillborn as a result, the doctor may be held accountable in a medical malpractice claim.
Stillbirths may also result from a doctor’s failure to appropriately respond to warning signs at delivery. Fetal monitoring strips provide a constant source of information to a physician throughout the course of a mother’s labor. The fetal monitoring strips may show patterns that are recognized as consistent with fetal distress. A medical malpractice claim may arise if a physician fails to recognize these patterns or fails to adequately respond to these patterns and the baby is stillborn as a result.
Let Our Experienced Attorneys Fight For You And Your Family
Our Indianapolis stillbirth attorneys have substantial experience in representing families who have suffered a stillbirth as a result of medical malpractice. When we accept a case, we carefully investigate the claim, employing medical experts to assist in our investigation. We work to obtain compensation for affected families when the facts demonstrate that the stillbirth was caused by medical negligence. To learn how we can help you, contact us through our website or call us at 317-978-9973.

Ship Sunk By Houthis Threatens Red Sea Environment
By Mohammad Ghobari ADEN, Yemen, March 2 (Reuters) – A UK-owned ship attacked by Houthi militants last month sank in the Red Sea, the U.S. military confirmed on Saturday, as it echoed...
Descartes’ latest Global Shipping report highlights an increase in U.S. container import volumes in April 2023, with a significant surge in imports from China, as well as significantly reduced delays at all ports despite overall volume increases.
U.S. container import volumes continued to gain in April due largely to a surge in imports from China, according to Descartes Systems Group’s Global Shipping Report for May. April volumes have also kept pace with pre-pandemic 2019 volumes, but remain well-below last year’s record setting numbers in the first half.
Imports from China reversed their downward trend and increased by 26.7% last month over March 2023. The May update shows continued consistency with pre-pandemic import volume seasonality and signs that a number of the challenges to global supply chain performance in 2023 are abating, according to Descartes.
“Container import volumes from China, which had been in decline since August 2022, rebounded dramatically in April 2023, representing 82% of the increase in volume from the top 10 countries importing into the U.S,” said Chris Jones, EVP Industry Descartes.
The report shows that April 2023 U.S. container import volumes increased 9.0% from March 2023 to 2,020,197 TEUs. Although overall TEU volume was down 17.8% compared to April 2022, volumes were up 5.3% from pre-pandemic April 2019.
Descartes says the strong growth in container import volume in April continued to track to 2019 volumes for the first four months of 2023, with a difference of 1.5% for the same period in each year. While West Coast labor negotiations appear to be progressing, a new contract has still not been finalized.
“Despite the volume increase in April 2023, port transit delays were much lower compared to March 2023 and, overall, port transit times are at their lowest since Descartes began tracking them in 2021,” Jones added.
Looking at the top ten ports, in April 2023 overall U.S. container import volume increased by 167,174 TEUs compared to March. The Port of New York and New Jersey had the highest overall container volume increase, with an additional 54,466 TEUs, followed by the Port of Savannah with a 24,923 TEU gain over March.
Descartes’ latest update comes as the National Retail Federation downgraded its container imports forecast for the year amid a larger than anticipated decline in imports in the first half despite the recent rise in import cargo volumes from February lows.

I was so impressed with the first film in the Harry Potter franchise that I watched yesterday that I decided to watch another. That is right, I chose Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets for today’s film. Everyone’s favorite young wizard Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is back at home with his dreadful Aunt and Uncle once again, but a house elf named Dobby (Toby Jones) tries to prevent Harry from returning to Hogwarts Academy. Despite what Dobby said, Harry returns back to Hogwarts only to find that students are being petrified by something. Harry discovers that there is a place in the school called the Chamber of Secrets that was created by the founder Slytherin. Harry finds out that the chamber houses a monster who will kill mudbloods (impure wizards) and that it will be opened by the heir of Slytherin, but who is it? The film also stars Rupert Grint (CBGB) as Ron Weasley, Emma Watson (The Colony) as Hermione Granger, Tom Felton (Risen) as Draco Malfoy, Jason Isaacs (The Tuxedo) as Lucius Malfoy, Robbie Coltrane (From Hell) as Hagrid, Kenneth Branagh (Henry V) as Professor Lockhart, Alan Rickman (Galaxy Quest) as Professor Snape, Richard Harris (Gladiator) as Professor Dumbledore, Maggie Smith (Gosford Park) as Professor McGonagall, Shirley Henderson (Trainspotting) as Moaning Myrtle, Christian Coulson (The Hours) as Tom Marvolo Riddle, Bonnie Wright (The Sea) as Ginny Weasley, and the film was directed by Chris Columbus (The Goonies).
When you do a sequel to a film or when you do a sequel to a film that you know is a part of a bigger picture your only hope is that it’s better than the first film. That was definitely the case with Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets which I enjoyed more than the last before it. The thing that I enjoyed the most about this film is that they added a little bit of suspense to the film where you’re trying to figure out who the heir is. You’re trying to figure out who the monster is and who will he attack? That is honestly what I really loved about this film since I love thrillers. The special effects for this film were turned up a notch for this film and who doesn’t love Dobby? Dobby was honestly the comedic relief the film needed and I am glad that he was a part of the story. He has so many funny moments in the film with Harry and there is one scene that you will absolutely love. The sets were amazing as usual, but my favorite is when he entered the chamber of secrets. There is this one room where he meets the giant monster and the cool looking set which you can see in the picture in this paragraph. There is so much classic cinematography and lighting tricks in this film that are absolutely cool. One scene I noticed was the scene with Dracoy’s father Lucius who when the camera was on him, only his eyes were lit like a true villain while Harry’s who face was illuminated as e was the hero. I had a lot of fun watching this one which is why I am going to give the film an A for a final grade.
I know what you are thinking and I have to be perfectly honest with all of you in saying that I have never seen any of the films in the Harry Potter series. I figured what better time than now to see one and therefore I watched Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone for today’s film. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) has always been somewhat gifted of a child, but he doesn’t understand why. He lives a life of neglect with his awful Aunt and Uncle until a wizard from the Hogwarth’s Academy named Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) comes calling for him. It is there that Harry will understand his abilities and live out his full potential. Although while all of this is happening, he stumbles upon an evil scheme to kidnap a stone that could bring back an evil being. The film also stars Maggie Smith (Gosford Park) as Professor McGonagall, Richard Harris (Gladiator) as Professor Dumbledore, Ian Hart (Finding Neverland) as Professor Quirrell, Warwick Davis (Leprechaun) as Goblin Bank Teller, Rupert Grint (CBGB) as Ron Weasley, Emma Watson (The Colony) as Hermione Granger, Tom Felton (Risen) as Draco Malfoy, Alan Rickman (Galaxy Quest) as Professor Snape, Matthew Lewis (Me Before You) as Neville Longbottom, John Cleese (Monty Python and the Holy Grail) as Nearly Headless Nick, and the film was directed by Chris Columbus (The Goonies).
I do have to say that after watching this film, I am super excited to continue on and see the rest of the films. The idea and topic of wizards and witches may be corny to some, but this was actually a well written story that I believe that anyone with an imagination can get into. The elements of the film that make these amazing and very interesting is what you don’t see watching the film. It’s seeing the camera work and the different perspectives and how they messed with depth perception to make Hagrid look like a giant compared to other characters just by messing with the angles. The other cool element of the film is of course the special effects and all of the things they made come to life. One of my favorite scenes in the film is with the owls who are basically the postal service. Harry’s evil Uncle has been keeping him from seeing any of the letters and the amount of Owls that show up and what they do was super cool. Not to mention, fluffy the three headed dog and the little dragon were cool as well. The other scene that I loved was the big chess match that happens at the end of the film, a very cool scene indeed. A very well acted film, a well written story, and some amazing cinematography made this a very enjoyable film to watch. I will definitely be checking out some more films in the series for sure. I am going to give this one an A- for a final grade.
I was truly saddened earlier this year when I heard about the death of actor Alan Rickman (Galaxy Quest). So when I heard he had one more film where he makes a physical appearance (he still has one voice over film to be released), I had to see it and that film is called Eye In The Sky. Col. Katherine Powell (Helen Mirren) is a commanding military officer running an operation to capture or kill terrorists in the African country of Kenya. The latest mission she has features two high profile targets and some suicide bombers so she gets the mission which is a joint one between the Americans, British, and Kenyan special forces ready to go. Well, there is one problem in the whole plan, a little girl selling bread gets in the way of their mission and it sparks a huge debate over who will authorize the strike or not. The film also stars Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) as Steve Watts, Alan Rickman as LT. Gen. Frank Benson, Babou Ceesay (Severance) as SGT. Mushtaq Saddiq, Barkhad Abdi (Captain Phillips) as Jama Farah, Lex King (The Gamechangers) as Susan Danford, Richard McCabe (The Duchess) as George Matherson, Gavin Hood (Tsotsi) as Lt. Colonel Ed Walsh, and the film was directed by Gavin Hood as well.
Here’s the thing about Eye In The Sky and unless you are into topics like war, drone attacks, etc. then you may not like this film. The film should have had suspense attached to it because it’s more that than thriller. There is a lot of back and forth when it comes time to push the button and I get it if that’s how it actually works, but it’s annoying. There is so much, “hey do we have authorization?” “I don’t want to make that decision, let’s refer up” and “Why are you bothering me, do it”. This goes on for most of the film as Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman’s characters are pleading for them to let them do this. One thing I will say that the film does is that it makes Americans look like we are insensitive cowboys who want to get all of the terrorists no matter the risk. It definitely makes the British look as if they are more sensitive and humane then we are. You’ll have to see it for yourself to know what I am talking about, but like I said not a very exciting film for me. While it is cool to see what happens behind closed doors and to see all the cool camera gadgets they have in the world to spy on people, it just didn’t interest me enough. I am however glad that I did get to see Alan Rickman on screen one more time. So with that being said, I am going to give the film an B- for a final grade.
I figured since Alice Through The Looking Glass is going to come out this year that I better watch the first film Alice In Wonderland so that I have an idea of what I am getting into. For Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska), she has been having dreams and visions of a land where animals talk, but for her she is always told they are dreams. That is until one day when she is about to be courted for marriage, she sees a rabbit with clothing on and she decides to follow it where she falls into a rabbit hole. Upon arriving in the magical world of Underland, she finds out that it has been held captive by the evil Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and it is up to Alice to save Underland, the White Queen (Anne Hathaway), and slay the Jabberwocky. The film also stars Johnny Depp (Edward Scissorhands) as Hatter, Crispin Glover (Back To The Future) as Stayne-Knave Of Hearts, Matt Lucas (Shaun Of The Dead) as Tweedle Dee/Dum, Michael Sheen (Underworld) as White Rabbit, Stephen Fry (Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows) as Cheshire Cat, Alan Rickman (Galaxy Quest) as Blue Caterpillar, Barbara Windsor (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) as Dormouse, Timothy Spall (Rock Star) as Bayard, and the film was directed by Tim Burton (Batman 1989).
One thing is for sure, this has to be about the billionth time that Burton has worked with Johnny Depp. It’s sort of like Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro back in the day and all of the great director/actor combinations. The same thing rings true as well with Helena Bonham Carter, but she’s married to Burton so it’s expected. The one thing I can say about all of them is that they were absolutely brilliant in the film. I actually didn’t mind Depp’s portrayal of the Mad Hatter (unlike his portrayal as Willy Wonka which I hated) because he nailed this role. He was both witty and crazy all wrapped in one and his performance was on point. The other thing I loved about the film was all of the visual aesthetics involved. The film was visually stunning to look at from the sets and the looks of the creatures. I know that a lot of it was filmed with a green screen and some animation, but the visuals is what kept me glued to the screen. The world of Underland is visually amazing even though it’s dark and desolate due to the fact that the Red Queen has taken over. It’s kind of sad to watch this film and hear Alan Rickman’s voice knowing that he is gone, but we know his voice is in the next film. and I cannot wait to check that out. My only hope is that the next one is a good as this one. With that being said, I am going to give the film an A- for a final grade.
For today’s film, I wanted to watch something from Johnny Depp (Blow) that I hadn’t seen before and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street seemed like the perfect movie to choose. In the film, Depp plays the title character Sweeney Todd, a man who was once known as Benjamin Barker, one of the best barbers of London. You see Barker was forced out of London and into exile because an evil Judge by the name of Turpin (Alan Rickman) had eyes for his wife Lucy (Laura Michelle Kelly). He now returns to London, 15 years later under a new identity to find that his wife is dead and his daughter is being held captive by Turpin. With the help of Mrs. Lovett (Helena Bonham Carter), he will set up shop once again in hopes of carrying out some good ole fashioned revenge. The film also stars Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) as Pirelli, Timothy Spall (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire) as Beadle, Jamie Campbell Bower (The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones) as Anthony, Jayne Wisener (Jane Eyre) as Johanna, Ed Sanders (Hugo) as Toby, and the film was directed by the one and only Tim Burton (Alice In Wonderland).
Everyone needs to watch a musical every once in a while and I didn’t mind this one because it had that horror edge to it. What can be side about Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Tim Burton that hasn’t already been said yet? Well, for one they are constantly working together so this must mean that it’s a dream team that works. While everyone including the late Alan Rickman does a great job int he film, Carter and Depp are simply masterful portraying two strange bedfellows. One wants revenge while the other has a sick sadistic way to get her meat pie business back up and running. Nevertheless, their performances are spot on and they really command the screen and they get the best out of others. The film definitely has that Tim Burton look to it where the world is bleak and grey and certain colors stand out more than most. One thing in the film that kind of bothered me was the fact that when he cut someone their blood looked like spaghetti sauce and not anywhere close to the color of blood. Sacha Baron Cohen is only in the film for a brief amount of time so if you can’t stand him then you don’t have to worry. You’ll only have to endure him for a brief amount of time. If you do like him, then I am sorry for that last sentence. I want to look into more of what England called Penny Dreadful’s which were stories that were printed in newspapers in Victorian England for a penny. That is where Sweeney Todd first appeared and it seems that they have more incredible stories. If you are a fan of Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, and Tim Burton then check out this movie because it is worth your time. That is why I am giving the film an A for a final grade.
I had heard about this film for a long time and I have been waiting since 2013 to watch this film. So, when I saw that Netflix had the title available< I jumped on the opportunity to watch the film CBGB. The film explores the origins of the legendary New York club and how one man named Hilly Kristal (Alan Rickman) had the vision to pioneer a musical revolution with his club called CBGB. You’ll see all of the triumphs and the struggles that came with owning the club or just working with Hilly period. We’ll also see the birth of bands like Blondie, The Ramones, The Dead Boys, The Talking Heads, and so many more as they share a part with the club’s story. The film also stars Malin Akerman (The Watchmen) as Debbie Harry, Justin Bartha (The Hangover) as Stiv Bator, Richard de Klerk (Repeators) as Taxi, Johnny Galecki (The Big Bang Theory) as Terry Ork, Kyle Gallner (American Sniper) as Lou Reed, Ashley Greene (Staten Island Summer) as Lisa Kristal, Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters) as Iggy Pop, Ryan Hurst (Sons Of Anarchy) as Mad Mountain, Joel David Moore (Dodgeball) as Joey Ramone, Mickey Sumner (The End Of The Tour) as Patti Smith, Bradley Whitford (Billy Madison) as Nicky Gant, Rupert Grint (Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets) as Cheetah Chrome, and the film was directed by Randall Miller.
The story of CBGB is quite fascinating because it was a club that was functioning on almost no money. They were spending more than they were making according to the film. It is a legendary club however that I wish I had the opportunity of entering, but I never did. So many legendary bands payed n the stage and the film of course focuses on the pioneers of Punk Rock music and I love the band that closes out the film. Alan Rickman to me is a brilliant actor as I enjoy quite a lot of his films. He does a good job playing a guy with literally the worst business sense as the film makes it clear that he had failed many times before CBGB. The acting was phenomenal and I think anyone wanting to learn the history of Punk Rock should watch this and stick around for the credits which has some goodies in it too. Now as far as what is true about the film and what is not I do not know right now other than I don’t think Conway Twitty ever played there. One thing according to one article is that there are posters and stickers on the wall of the club before any bands actually have played there which can be counted as a goof. To see more of what they got right vs wrong, check out this article here. Otherwise, I am going to give the film an A- for a final grade because I enjoyed it thoroughly as I am a music fan first.

Back in 2017 our good friend David de la Mano was invited for a collective artistic project (initiated by Damian Ibarguren Gauthier) which tried to artistically “occupy” an old convent in the centre of Montevideo, and then show off all the work of the artists for a few days before the demolition of this construction to built some new housing…
The first idea by Damian Ibarguren Gauthier was to paint the altarpiece of the old church which was done by David de la Mano and Dani Pez called “Impermanencia, la muerte”. The second proposal was to choose a space and intervene it. The artist did it using dry plants with abandoned objects in the convent… For various reasons this project was suspended but at least the project was started and we have these gems to look at.
Take a look at more images below of the detail featured in this mural and keep checking back with us for the latest updates from South America.

Breaking Ground, by Anne Quito
Change is a wrecking ball, or in my case, a hydraulic excavator.
Before coming to SVA, I lived in Washington, DC and held a stable job as an art director at a non-profit, working with organizations like the United Nations, USAID, and the CDC. I founded a practice called “Design Lab,” and along with a team of like-minded designers, immersed myself in the world of public-sector design. I lived in a lovely three-story townhouse and was blessed with a delightfully rotund Maltese pup named Pooches Gracias. To everyone around me, it seemed that I had achieved the so-called “comfortable life.” I had an established route and routine: wake up at five, get to work by seven, go home at six via GW Parkway to Connecticut Avenue by way of Memorial Bridge. It seemed that all I needed to do was submit to the catatonia and everything would be fine. I was set for retirement in my twenties.
I remember sitting one morning in our taupe-colored kitchen and thinking, “Wow, I can’t think of anything I want or aspire for right now.” No craving, no curiosity, no itinerary. I was rooted and pale.
Edith Wharton once said, “Life is always a feather bed or a tight rope. Give me the tight rope.” Comfort lulls us into a stupor whereas friction, tension, and imbalance keep us alive. The irony in our universal aspiration for the comfortable life is this: We struggle and toil at work and school to achieve some sort of financial stability. But once we reach the summit of our ambitions, there is a chair—a warm, overstuffed easy chair with 401K and benefits. Naturally, inevitably, we take the seat and sometimes we never get up. We sink into the plush of our accomplishments and fade into the beige of our mediocrity. We become suburban, provincial, or maybe even parochial. I realized then that I wanted to live a life raging against the featherbed. I want to rage against the trap and tether of comfort.
The change happened rather quickly. After seven seasons in Washington D.C., I felt a great northward momentum. Within a couple of months, I had signed a lease, and packed a few things. The night I signed my lease, I received an email from Alice offering me a spot at SVA MFA Design Criticism. I immediately, perhaps intuitively, accepted as I have willfully uprooted from the stability of a former life. It was a long incubation process, but it had to be—as painful to think about, as it still is sometimes. Moving to New York and coming to SVA was my Big Dig and it could no longer wait.
Being in D-Crit feels like finding a home base for my intellectual and personal inquiries. Corralling my thoughts into words and imbuing critical rigor to my opinions, for example, feels thrilling and new. I’d like to discover my voice as a writer, or try out a few—humorous, reflective, argumentative, ambitious, nostalgic, romantic—in search of the most resonant. I am most excited to learn the tools and methods of thinking, writing, and presenting design in the most engaging and relevant ways. I aspire to write and talk about design that mirrors my own re-definition: present, porous, open, vivid, and meaningful. Design criticism is the silt, sand, and clay of my re-engagement with the city and the world. It’s thrilling to finally be here, to be on the precipice of a yet-to-be-determined blossoming into something yet-to-be-defined.

Out of all things in this world that I could do, why did I choose to give up my beautiful Australian Summer and suffer through a Montreal Winter?
I’ve been asked varieties of that question many a time during my stay here. After establishing that indeed, Australia is FAR from Canada, people are baffled as to why I’m here.
So, why am I here and not say, in France? (I was one of the biggest Francophiles on the ANU campus before jet-setting here.)
I’m actually not just ‘on exchange’ – while yes I’m an exchange student, I also have an ulterior motive which decided my exchange destination long before the application process started. I’m here as part of my French Honours year. My thesis topic is “The use of religious profanities in Québécois French” so instinctively; where else would be the best place to be but Montreal itself?! I had also never been to the Americas before and I figured that this would be a good excuse to make the trek.
I just finished the winter semester at the Université de Montréal. It is the largest university in Quebec and the top university in the Francophone world. It is located in the Côte-des-Neiges area of Montreal. Everything you need to live is nearby and since I live on campus, I could have spent the whole semester here without catching public transport! However, that would just be silly since as beautiful as the UdeM campus is, there’s so much more to see in Montreal than just a university.
Living on campus has been great. To my surprise, it didn’t take me too long to get used to shared bathroom and cooking facilities – I definitely I embraced my newfound independence. Additionally, it’s here in the residences where I made the greatest of friends.
Montreal is a beautiful city; from January when I woke up every day to negative temperatures and sometimes snow falling from my window, to April – where…Montreal being Montreal, I still sometimes woke up to a snow covered campus, to finally now in May where the snow has melted and the grass is green.
Montreal is also the most bilingual city that I’ve ever been to. For example, when you’re on the Metro, the further away from the ‘Blue Line’ you go, the less French and the more English you will hear! Nevertheless, if I’m still in a French mood by the time I arrive Downtown, I can still waltz into shops and achieve all that I want, en français. I will admit, the Québécois accent took me some time to get used to but now I’m well accustomed to it and am even find myself adding little Québéqisms to my own speech là!
Although all my peers are now enjoying their vacances and I won’t be free until my thesis is submitted; I think that in my last few weeks here I’ll be able to love this city even more than I already do.

Apparently summer is to make a brief appearance again this year, so we thought we’d give you a preview of the return of the Irish summer, a tantalising glimpse of the weather you can expect next week, and a few other stories and images that should bring some sunshine into your life before the evenings draw in.
Summer returns this weekend! Read Thursday’s report in the Irish Examiner on Met Eireann’s forecast for the next few days. http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/warm-weather-on-the-way-for-weekend-607285.html
And just to confirm, here’s the outlook for next week: Look forward to temperatures in the high teens and early 20s (Celsius). http://www.accuweather.com/en/ie/cork/207697/daily-weather-forecast/207697?day=6
Mauritius: A paradise island of sun, sand, sparkling seas – and underwater waterfalls? This aerial view of the Indian Ocean off south-western Mauritius may look like an underwater cascade, but it’s an illusion caused by a runoff of sand and silt deposits from the island.
All that sunshine got you in the mood for a swim? Check out the incredible infinity pools at the Ubud Hanging Gardens Luxury Hotel & Resort in Bali, Indonesia. http://inthralld.com/2012/01/infinity-pools-at-ubud-hanging-gardens-luxury-hotel-resort-in-bali-indonesia/
What was your favourite driving song of the summer? A recent poll reported in The Guardian reveals that British drivers still go for the oldies – see which 1977 hit they chose as their driving tune of 2013: http://www.theguardian.com/travel/2013/sep/18/what-was-your-summer-2013-soundtrack
Not ready to hibernate just yet? Make the most of the early autumn weather and enjoy one of the island activity breaks Aaron Miller recommended in Wednesday’s Independent. http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/ultimate-island-adventures-8822432.html
And in the week when Lonely Planet included surfing at Mullaghmore, Co. Sligo, among the world’s “ultimate activities,” we thought you might like to see this video by George Karellas, which gives you a flavour of just how insanely awesome the waves at Mullaghmore really are.
And if you can’t get away yourself, the next best thing is to read about somebody else’s travel experiences. Manchan Magan always has an unusual take on the places he visits. Check out his blog http://www.manchan.com

National recovery plan for Zieria formosa, Zieria buxijugum and Zieria parrisiae
NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (2002).
ISBN 0 7313 64961
Table 1 outlines the implementation of recovery actions specified in this Plan for the period of five years from publication.
The social and economic consequences of implementing this Plan are minimal, given the restricted distribution of the species. None of the species occur on land suitable for any form of agriculture. Restriction of mining of rhyolite on Box Range farm may cause the loss of some income to the landowner. Due to the extremely rocky and steep nature of the habitat occupied by Z. formosa, it is unlikely that the presence of the species will impose major constraints to likely proposals for the siting and construction of dwellings on these rural residential blocks.
The protection of these three species will in turn protect the rock outcrop communities in which they occur. The shrub communities that occur on rhyolite rock outcrops on the NSW South Coast are uncommon and localised and often also support other rare or threatened species.
This Recovery Plan was prepared by John Briggs and Genevieve Wright, Threatened Species Unit, NPWS Southern Directorate, in consultation with the owners of the land on which these species occur. The Plan was edited by Michael Saxon (NPWS).
In relation to its status as the State-endorsed Recovery Plan for Zieria formosa, Zieria buxijugum and Zieria parrisiae, any major changes to this Recovery Plan will require the revised Plan to be placed on public exhibition in NSW and re-approval by the NSW Minister for the Environment. The NPWS or Environment Australia should be contacted if it is believed any change to the Recovery Plan or to the Recovery Program should be considered. This Recovery Plan is to be formally reviewed by the NPWS in conjunction with the landowners within five years from the date of its publication.
