...March 2011 Lighting: The Way it Affects a Movie Set Lights! Lights! And More Lights! While on a movie set for any show, cinematographers are artists that paint motion pictures with light (Murphy 1). They must know that lighting is their main concern while in production. No matter if there is too much or too little lighting, lighting must always be controlled (Morales). In order to solve the problem of faulty lighting, cinematographers should know when lights should be used, where it should be placed, and who it should be focused on; therefore, they must communicate with the director and the lighting engineer at all times because the lighting sets the mood for the image (Morales). There are many techniques that a cinematographer works with and people wonder how. An example is that most people wonder how cinematographers control their lighting while indoors when the subject is placed by a window. If subject is in front of a window and there is too much sunlight, take some aluminum foil wrapped around a piece of cardboard and turn it towards the subject so the light will reflect on the person face which will act as a key or filled light. If there is another light around, put it a little closer to subject and the reflected light will act as the backlight to make it seem as three-point lighting (“Lighting Tricks and Solutions”). The need for this type of lighting is to make the subject’s face is clear and visible. If the light from the window is shinning on the subject too much...

...Light Is this the light at the end of the tunnel? I wait like a lion waits for a prey to eat, when you look in my direction my feelings reach a peak. I sit in silence sadly staring waiting to see your face. SIGH, I wish you weren't such perfection. We fight and argue. I sit like a statue as you speak harsh words, you are a fire breathing dragon and I am a donkey. I act like I dont care and POOF! your gone, im now heartbroken singing my sad somber song. Is this the light at the end of the tunnel? You come right back, you make me laugh, you make me cry, I wish this was as easy as pie. Your like a mathematical equation, I want to figure you out, but your complication doesn't let me have concentration. A roller coaster is what our ''relationship'' is. Our love speaks a language that most people don't understand, it has its flaws, most beautiful things do, I wouldn't kick our relationship like a old pair of shoes for something new. Is this the light at the end of the tunnel? Waiting for you is similair to sleeping for 1,000 years expecting to not drool when you realize its time to wake up. My feelings are deeper then the ocean although, they cause various fights that make you want to leave and take a hike. When we agree, which is almost never I can't help but to hope that its not a joke. We agree to disagree. You are the barking dog and I am the aggrevating flea. I dislike when your around but, I can't help to miss you when I'm...

...The Scientific Method: Observation and Hypothesis INTRODUCTION By now, you have examined a variety of phenomena in the natural world A focus of environmental science is to explain these phenomena. That is, what are the causes and effects of such phenomena? How does one go about investigating the causes and effects such that the conclusions are meaningful and reliable? The answer is the scientific method, which uses designed experiments and careful observations to investigate causes and effects. The scientific method is the systematic procedure for investigation, which generally is composed of the following: 1. Observe a phenomenon 2. Formulate a hypothesis: a tentative description that explains your observation 3. Design and conduct an experiment to test the hypothesis 4. Present your results 5. Interpret the results that validate or modify the hypothesis Step 1—Observed Phenomenon Suppose you observe that an environmental phenomenon (e.g., rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri are no longer present in a nearby polluted river). You could conduct research by examining the literature to determine what other studies have been done to help you find an explanation. However, the studies may not be directly applicable. You might want to design and conduct your own study. Step 2—Formulate a Hypothesis The second step is to formulate a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a statement of the cause and effect in a specific situation. It is a...

...The business start-up costs are typically considered capital expenditures. That is, they are part of an investment in the business assets, and investment costs are amortized (spread out) over several years. Since the client is the sole shareholder, the start-up costs he or she can deduct in your first year of operation (generally up to $5,000) are reported in Part V - Other Expenses on Schedule C - Profit or Loss from Business. To claim a deduction for amortization of the balance of your start-up costs, you need to file Form 4562 - Depreciation and Amortization. The amortization of business start-up costs and the costs of organizing a corporation or partnership is reported in Part VI of Form 4562. The court case I researched was SHANNON L. FERNANDEZ, Petitioner v. COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent. The case was about Petitioner failed to report income of $11,691 from the Los Angeles County Employees Retirement Association received on account of a divorce agreement, treated like a qualified domestic relations order, awarding her a portion of her former husband’s disability pay. Petitioner argues that either: (1) the $11,691 is excluded from her income under I.R.C. sec. 104(a)(1) because I.R.C. sec. 402(e)(1)(A) provides that an alternate payee, pursuant to I.R.C. sec. 414(p), who is the former spouse of the participant shall be treated as the distribute of any distribution or payment made to the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, or (2) she...

...------------------------------------------------- Light Peak Light Peak is a proprietary optical cable interface designed by Intel to connect devices in a peripheral bus. The technology has a high bandwidth at 10 Gbit/s, with the potential to scale to 100 Gbit/s by 2020. Currently in development, Light Peak is being developed as a single universal replacement for current buses such as SCSI, SATA, USB, FireWire, PCI Express and HDMI, in an attempt to reduce the proliferation of ports on contemporary computers. Bus systems such as USB were developed for the same purpose, and successfully replaced a number of older technologies. However, increasing bandwidth demands have led to higher performance standards like eSATA and DisplayPort that cannot connect to USB and similar peripherals. Light Peak provides a high enough bandwidth to drive these over a single type of interface, and often on a single daisy chained cable. As a single universal replacement for current buses such as SCSI, SATA, USB, FireWire, PCI Express and HDMI, Light Peak aims to remove some of the problems in the computer industry that are now apparent such as the limited transfer speeds and multiple connectors, many of which must be supported and then are often fated to go completely unused. A major problem in single-cable connection is the maximum length of electrical cables – DC power and electrical signals diminish rapidly over more than 5 meter distances. In theory, a device under 5m away could be easily...

...On my Light-Giver essay, I received a score of 6/6-, which is understandable, because I can acknowledge that my essay had both good and bad aspects.To further explain the positive attributes of my essay, the most prominent detail that popped out at me throughout the entirety of my essay was how I was very descriptive. Rather than telling, I did a lot of showing through sensory details and imagery. For instance, at the end of the first page I wrote, “Simply reminding myself of what I endured brought shivers up my spine, caused a cascade of goose bumps to break out onto my skin, and spread an unwanted prickling sensation throughout my entire body.” My use of imagery really painted a picture in the reader’s mind and made them feel as if they were truly...

...Extraction of light trapped in special structured luminescent thin films Group discussion 3rd May 2014 Group members: Barbara Brudieu, Lucie Devys, Prof. Thierry Gacoin, and Gu Rong I. INTRODUCTION After almost two months’ internship, with a great help of Barbara and Lucie, I eventually manage to synthesize the DBR and all the solutions needed. Although some techniques still remain to be ameliorated and their theoretical meanings are also left to figure out, to have a small brainstorming at this moment is quite timely I suppose. It just happens to be the mid-point of combining Barbara’s DBR mirror with Lucie’s photonic crystal coupling system. By now, we’ve got three different DBRs (375nm, 620nm, 850nm and the gradient will be fabricated after this meeting) and each mirror has two types: 6 & 8 layers. Several optical measurements (Carry 50) and curves of calibration (TiO2-Eu(TTA)3 layer thickness) will be showed as flowing which are open for discussion. Hope this meeting will assess the work finished so far and give a clear direction for the further steps. II. DBRs The optical measurement of these mirrors is operated on Carry 50 and the corresponding simulation is carried out on Matlab (Reticolo). a. b. c. Figures a, b, c are DBRs of wavelengths 375nm, 620nm and 850nm. Curves left are optical measurement of transmission by Carry 50, curves right are the simulation associated. The discrepancies between the optical...

...Not only does the sun provides heat, light and energy, which are essential for life on Earth, sunlight is a form of energy composed of electromagnetic radiation, including visible and ultraviolet light. Light travels in waves. Visible light (with varying colors from red to violet) has wavelengths of about 760-400 nm. (1 nanometer = 1〖 × 10〗^(-9) m.) In contrast, UV waves are shorter, which are less than 400 nm. Ultraviolet light is also categorized as: UV-A (400-320 nm), UV-B (320-290 nm), and UV-C (290-180 nm). Light travels in waves but in the form of particles called photons. Short wavelengths of light generate more energy because of the lack of distance that photons have to travel to, to collide with each other; and since ultraviolet light waves are shorter than any of visible light, it is more energetic (Ultraviolet Radiation). As a result of its high energy, UV light can disrupt chemical bonds that make up the cells of living organisms, especially chemicals in DNA. DNA, which carries information for growth and function, is conventionally damaged by the daily exposure to UV light. DNA-coded proteins in our cell control cell growth and capacity. UV light disruption to DNA can cause a cell to become cancerous or to...

...What is light? Light is the smallest quantity of energy, a photon, that can be transported. It cannot be split, only created or destroyed. When talking about light, it means visible light that is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The Electromagnetic Spectrum in accordance to light: The electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) refers to the radiation that is released from unstable atoms. The EMS goes from radio waves to gamma rays. Electromagnetic radiation travels in waves, the frequency of a wave is the amount of waves per second, while the wavelength is the length of an individual wave in meters. Visible light is a very small part of the EMS, from left to right, violet wavelengths has the highest frequency and shortest wavelength, while...

...“Star Light, Star Bright, Where are you now?” As I was reading the article, I was surprised to know that there was such thing as “light pollution”. It was rare for me to hear this kind of pollution. The cause of this kind of pollution is too much light directed toward the sky. I even wonder at times when I look up unto the skies and see no stars at all. I didn’t realize that this was because of light pollution. It was because of this article that I’ve learned a lot about light pollution. The presence of light pollution makes it impossible for us to see the stars, because there are way too many artificial lights that brighten up the night. Few of the causes of light pollution are: bright lights from homes and buildings, light from vehicles, street light that have a shape of a cylinder, and billboards lit form the bottom. Starless nights may not be a big problem for us, ordinary people, but for astronomers who study the heavenly bodies, this is already a huge problem. Even with the use of telescopes, the glare of the light may still affect their observations which results into inaccurate results. Astronomers are not the only ones affected by this pollution. Even the nocturnal animals are affected too. Light pollution could ruin their natural habitat and overall behavior. There are ways to reduce the effect of light pollution, and this is through the use of: Light with timers, Motion-sensor lighting, and Full...

...Let There Be Light What kind of world would it be without light? A horrible one. The light bulb is a world-changing invention because of this. If it wasn't invented, many world would be dark. The light bulb has given us more than just light though. If taken away, none of or lives would be the same. The light bulb was invented on October 22, 1879 by a man known as Thomas Alva Edison. This brilliant man has made many more inventions, his important of which is possible the light bulb. Though he technically didn't invent the light bulb, due to his work the where not tossed away as a failed experiment. He later made a company which distributed electricity to the cities and made other items. He then had competition for the distribution of electricity. He later combined his company with another one to for General Electric. Without the invention of the light bulb, many other fantastic items could not exist. Such items include the TV, computer, and the movies. These items would make our lives not as enjoyable and would destroy the entertainment industry.These items brighten our day up and allows several companies to thrive. There would be no headlights for your car, there would be no Christmas decorations or any form of flashlight. The world would be dark. The light bulb works by taking just enough electric current to make a piece of metal glow brightly enough to give out visible light yet not get so hot that it melts and breaks. The piece of metal is called a tungsten...

...12/7/2015 Wuthering Heights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wuthering Heights From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Wuthering Heights is Emily Brontë's only novel. Written between October 1845 and June 1846,[1] Wuthering Heights was published in 1847 under the pseudonym "Ellis Bell"; Brontë died the following year, aged 30. Wuthering Heights and Anne Brontë's Agnes Grey were accepted by publisher Thomas Newby before the success of their sister Charlotte's novel, Jane Eyre. After Emily's death, Charlotte edited the manuscript of Wuthering Heights, and arranged for the edited version to be published as a posthumous second edition in 1850.[2] Although Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as a classic of English literature, contemporary reviews for the novel were deeply polarised; it was considered controversial because its depiction of mental and physical cruelty was unusually stark, and it challenged strict Victorian ideals of the day, including religious hypocrisy, morality, social classes and gender inequality.[3][4] The English poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti referred to it as "A fiend of a book – an incredible monster ... The action is laid in hell, – only it seems places and people have English names there."[5] In the second half of the 19th century, Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre was considered the best of the Brontë sisters' works, but following later re-evaluation, critics began to argue that Wuthering Heights was superior.[6] The book has inspired adaptations...

...LED LIGHTS A Museum Exhibits Case Study By Deric Payne December 3, 2014 In April 2014, the Durango County Museum of History installed a small exhibit titled Our heritage: Pictures from the past. The collection consists of five daguerreotypes and several silver albumen prints. A study was made to measure the benefits and costs of using LED lights instead of traditional halogen lamps. RISKS OF LIGHTING HISTORIC PHOTOGRAPHS All lighting harms photographs. (Lavedrine 2003) It is the task of the conservator to minimize this harm so that the photographs can be viewed for a significant span of time, typically 50 to 100 years. For these reasons, historical photographs are displayed only periodically in rooms with significantly reduced lighting. These practices minimize the visitor experience and according to Hunt, reducing light levels diminishes color saturation and contrast. (Hunt 1952, 192) In all lighting systems, ultraviolet light (UV) must be eliminated as that spectrum harms photographs the most. Halogen lights must have UV filters installed which adds to their cost and effectiveness. LED lamps do not emit UV light and do not need extra filters. According to a study by the Getty Conservation Institute, fading from LED lamps does not result in any more damage than conventional halogen lamps with ultraviolet filtering. They found that it is likely using LED lamps results in less fading of photographic materials. (Druzil and Miller 2011) METHODOLOGY In the new exhibit,...

... 2/3/16 When one thinks of the energy used on a regular basis across the United States, one would not necessarily think simple things such as turning off lights or turning down the heat would make any real difference. At least that is what I thought as a child, until my parents started always asking me to turn off the lights in rooms I was not in, or telling me not to take such long showers, and even telling me to throw on a sweatshirt if I was cold, instead of turning up the heat. It was through antics such as these that my parents tried their best to not only conserve money, (the opportunity cost of putting in a sweatshirt in hopes of putting more money back in their pockets was for sure a tradeoff they have always been seemingly willing to make), but also energy in general. Although I was not alive in 1970 when President Jimmy Carter proposed the nation saving energy together by turning down the heat, I can imagine that most likely part of the reason that my parents always seemed to be telling me to conserve energy was in part due to the fact that they were alive during that time. Now this interesting idea of no holiday lights is something that would...
