How to Make Your Own Video or Short Film: All You Need to Know to Make Your Own Ideas Shine - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Bob Harvey خلاصه: Film-making has been both my passion and my career for almost 40years. There can be few other pursuits that extend to us such anopportunity to express ourselves with the same kind of freedom andcreative vigour, and it is no surprise that within the last few years newtechnologies have offered accessibility to the medium of video and filmfor virtually anyone who feels they have something to say. For me,picking up a camera, recording a series of events, then shuffling thescenes around in an edit suite to give an honest but creativeinterpretation of the original raw footage is not only supremelyrewarding but one of the great joys of life, and one that everybodyshould try at least once.The students I teach on my film course come from all walks of life, are ofvarying ages, nationalities and beliefs, and bring with them a wide rangeof subject matter they are keen to tackle, be it just for fun, for personalfulfilment or for a more serious career change.Performers who feel compelled to show off their skills; charity workerswho want to highlight the plight of the less fortunate; artists and writerseager to experiment within an audio visual medium; journalists keen touse film to explore social issues such as mental illness or threats to ourfreedom of speech; workers in uninspiring jobs who want to step into aworld of discovery and challenge, and learn new skills along the way, orpeople who live in ordinary streets in ordinary towns who simply wantto record and document events as they happen around them.Once just the domain of professional film-makers, the door is now opento anyone with the will and creative integrity to produce a body of work,small or large, that can offer personal fulfilment whilst informing,inspiring and entertaining millions of people worldwide
You Know what I Mean?: Words, Contexts and Communication - PDF
You Know what I Mean?: Words, Contexts and Communication - PDF
نویسندگان: Ruth Wajnryb خلاصه: Does a word mean what it says? Sometimes - but not always. Everyone thinks that meaning is contained within words - like sardines in a tin, or milk in a bottle. After all, words are nice stable things that you can look up in a dictionary aren't they? But dictionaries only take us so far... If you eavesdropped on a teenage conversation, rushing to a dictionary - with its definitions frozen in time - wouldn't help much. Who's using a word and to whom, in what context, for what purpose - all these influence the meaning of the language we use. The word's origins and history (its 'genetics') also help. Try teaching yourself another language from a phrasebook and you'll soon learn that you can be correct, in the formal sense, but still way behind the times in reality. In this book Wajnryb considers these and other questions to explore how and why our language works the way it does.

Don't Listen to Phil Hellmuth: Correcting the 50 Worst Pieces of Poker Advice You've Ever Heard - PDF
نویسندگان: Dusty Schmidt and Paul Christopher Hoppe خلاصه: What if many of the fundamental “truths” you’ve heardabout poker turned out to be false?Recognize any of these commonly held beliefs?• Preflop play doesn’t matter that much.• The key to getting paid off is playing looseso no one can put you on a hand.• Bigger 3-bets get more folds.• Calling is weak.• You have to bet this flop becauseyou don’t want to give up.There is certainly an element of truth to some of thesestatements, but by and large they are big misconceptions.Perhaps this shouldn’t bother us because, as poker pros, weprofit off the mistakes of others. But when we see so manyhigh-level players making so many fundamental mistakes intheir games, and having those moves endorsed by televisionannouncers, it’s enough to make us scream, “Stop! That’snot how it’s done!”This book focuses on correcting the greatest fallacies inpoker. There are an astonishing number of them, providingour common understanding of the game with an incrediblyshaky foundation. This did not come entirely as a surprise.Like many new players, we struggled to sift through allthe competing voices. One author would say this, anotherwould say that. For Dusty, it took more than 3 millionhands to generate an income that exceeded the sum totalof his bonuses.Hoping to give our readers a better leg up than wehad, we systematically take on what we recognize as flawedadvice. The two of us have combed through more than fourdecades of conventional poker wisdom. No one is spared:world champions, on-air commentators or other flavors ofthe month. Not even we are excluded from our criticism.One by one, we challenge each misconception, takingon what we feel are the top 50 ways to lose at poker. Byproving these misconceptions false, we think we benefit ourreaders in such a way that, by implementing these newfoundunderstandings, they can become more profitable tomorrow.We want this book to ultimately function as aFactCheck.org or “MythBusters” for poker. We hope you’llcome to look at us as watchdogs out to protect your interestsby questioning the powers that be.As we did in our previous books, Treat Your Poker LikeA Business and Way of the Poker Warrior, in this book wecover the game’s most frequent scenarios, seeking to providesolutions to situations that arise every 10 minutes rather thanonce a month. Our criteria for choosing misconceptions weresimple. Are they costing people money, and can we prove it?We hope to relate with our readers, letting them know thatthe scenario that’s vexing them now once did the same to us.Unlike our previous books, this is a comprehensivemanual that aims to troubleshoot the poker process fromthe top down, complete with hand analyses and a readerquiz at book’s end.The process of writing this book has led us to thinkabout coaching. Golfers don’t have 10 swing coaches.Baseball players don’t have 10 hitting coaches. Footballteams don’t have 10 offensive coordinators. But in poker,we tend to entertain advice from all comers, which leadsto confusion and a fragmented playing style. Why do wedo this?Profit motive.

Take On the Street: What Wall Street and Corporate America Don't Want You to Know - PDF
نویسندگان: Arthur Levitt خلاصه: Investors today are being fed lies and distortions, are being exploited and neglected. In the wake of the last decade’s rush to invest by millions of households and Wall Street’s obsession with short-term performance, a culture of gamesmanship has grown among corporate management, financial analysts, brokers, and fund managers, making it hard to tell financial fantasy from reality, salesmanship from honest advice.In Take on the Street, Arthur Levitt—former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission—shows how you can take matters into your own hands. At once anecdotal (names are named), informative, and prescriptive, Take on the Street expounds on, among other subjects: the relationship between broker compensation and your trading account; the conflicts of interest inherent in buy-hold-or-sell recommendations of analysts; what exactly happens—and who gets a piece of the action—when you place an order; the “seven deadly sins” of mutual funds; the vagaries and vicissitudes of 401(k) investments; how accountants engage in sleight of hand to fake impressive company performance; how to find the truth in a company’s financial statements; the real reason for the Street’s hostility to full disclosure; the crisis in corporate governance, and, given these shenanigans and double-dealings, what specific steps you can take to safeguard your financial future.With integrity and authority, Levitt gives us a bracing primer on the collapse of the system for overseeing our capital markets, and sage, essential advice on a discipline we often ignore to our peril—how not to lose money.

Now You Know - PDF
نویسندگان: Doug Lennox خلاصه: Our daily lives are filled with little sayings and habits that we don't think much about. Many of them have their roots in history and were passed down from our ancestors, and though the reasons for them have often been forgotten, they linger still. Have you ever wondered:- Why is there a best man at weddings and why are brides carried over the threshold?- Why is an eager person "gung ho" and a coward "yellow"?- Why is football played on a "gridiron" and a leg injury called a "charley horse"?- Why do the British drive on the left and North Americans on the right?The answers to these questions and the origins of hundreds of other expressions and customs are brought together in this fascinating collection based on the nationally-syndicated radio feature "Now You Know," which reaches a daily audience of over a million Canadians. With all the conciseness of the original radio scripts, Doug Lennox tells you the things you always wanted to know.

Right on, You Got the Elbow Out!: Wartime Memories of the Rcaf - PDF
نویسندگان: Ernest F Monnon خلاصه: During World War II, thousands of Canadians left our country to fight for our Allies. Where they went and what they did has always been a question for some. Perhaps this book will give some answers. It deals with the experiences of an ordinary airman, a radio telephone operator, one of the many "ordinary people" who served their country in time of war. Ernest Monnon was a keen amateur photographer, who used to exchange his cigarettes for film and developing, and many of the pictures in the book are his.
