Cinematic Creativity and Production Budgets: Does Money Make the Movie? - 0 views

  •  
    i believe this is a a brief summary of the book when looking at the abstract section of this page when you go to the link. All about Film budgets and discussing whether or not its necessary for a movie. Its just bits and pieces of things that are good to read hear and there so you know more about this industry. I am very serious about filmmaking. As you can see thats all I ever talk about when I'm on diigo or youthvoices. I am convinced that this is what I am going to do in life.

How vinegar can make you thinner - thestar.com - 0 views

    "It doesn't seem to matter which vinegar - white, apple cider or even red raspberry - you use. What's critical is that you use vinegar that has 5 per cent acidity (acidity is typically marked on the label)."

Treatment for progeria? | CME: Your SA Journal of CPD | Find Articles at BNET - 0 views

    There is currently no cure. The disease is caused by gene mutations that disrupt production of the protein prelamin A, found inside the nuclei of cells. The damaged prelamin A binds to molecular fragments in the body called farnesyls, which then bind to the nuclear membrane, causing the build-up of protein that underlies the disease. The quote basically says that the disease had no cure yet and it is caused by gens mutation. It also says how but i don't fully understand it.

Skin Deep - A Few Cookies a Day to Keep the Pounds Away? - NYTimes.com - 0 views

    Something that I have been interested in learning about had been Health. I remember my teacher talking about it I was in Elementary school, but she didn't really explain it clearly. Lately , the issue had caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that health is really not important. From what I have heard health is very important no matter what. Now that's just what I have heard, it may or may not be true. I like where it says:That changed in 2006 when he started CookieDiet.com. This year he began selling his cookies at Walgreens and GNC, and opened his first Cookie Diet store in Beverly Hills, Calif. He expects 2009 revenues to be $18 million, up from $12 million in 2008, thanks in part to endorsements from celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Hudson and Kelly Clarkson. In fact, the cookie diet business has proved so lucrative that other companies have popped up: Smart for Life (six 105-calorie cookies a day; a 35-day kit costs $279); the Hollywood Cookie Diet (one 150-calorie cookie three to four times a day, plus a light dinner; $14 to $20 a box); and Soypal Cookies, marketed as "the most popular diet in Japan" (about 22 calories each; $49 a box). The popularity of cookie diets is hardly surprising in this culture of quick fixes. Who wouldn't want to exert the minimal effort to get long-lasting results? Who wouldn't want to lose weight by consuming something verboten on most diets? "The Cookie Diet is very appealing, because it legalizes a food - the cookie - that is banned from most weight-loss programs," said Jenni Schaefer, author of "Goodbye Ed, Hello Me: Recover From Your Eating Disorder and Fall in Love with Life" (McGraw-Hill, 2009).

Environment Institute strives to shrink carbon footprint - 0 views

    Something that I have been interested in learning more about has been about Environment. I remember my Math Teacher talking about it during his math class, but I didn't have a good explanation on what he really meant. Lately, the issue had caught my eye again. I know that many people feel that why is the environment important to the world and us? From what I have heard many scientist say that we need to have the environment clean. For example I hread that if we dont keep the environment clean we are destryoing ourselves. Now that's what I have heard, it may or may not be true. On thing that I know for sure about Environment is that it's what we live in and we need to make the best of it. Now I've studied my share of Biology and I believe that the Environment is caused by the smokes and other stuff that damages the world. Personally that's what I know and it may sound kind of funny but hey that's what ever one says. The most important about this topic is that Environment is what it keeps us on this world. An important quote that I believe that is given alot of information is where it says: Be the change you want to see in the world, said former UCL student Mahatma Gandhi - and staff at the UCL Environment Institute are acting on his advice.Staff calculated the carbon footprint of their work-related travel as part of an ongoing attempt to reduce the institute's impact on the environment.The study was based on the movements of a total of 12 staff and three PhD students during the 2007/08 academic year.The staff based their calculations on guidelines from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).They used the guidelines to calculate precisely how much carbon was emitted in the course of their work-related travel. According to the article :: The total carbon dioxide emissions for staff in 2007/08 amounted to 29.64 tonnes as a result of 231,700 kilometres of travel - an average of 2.5 tonnes per person.
