Option 1: He has a new girlfriend and they're on a 72 hour sex marathon consisting of nothing except sex, pizza, and vodka.

Option 2: He has joined the Proletariat revolution, and is currently entrenched somewhere with comrads, pinned down in a bunker taking heavy fire from some capitalists. Cell phone battery has died, so he can't access personal-view.com remotely. Waiting for backup to return home safely.

Option 3: He has decided to take a few days to chill and relax, waiting to see how long it takes for us to come looking for him. While giving his mind a rest and taking a long bath, he has a eureka moment, discovering a way to hack the GH1 to get 12 bit 4K at 256 Mb/s!

Option 4: The new tools including spectrometer have finally arrived and he has immersed himself in equipment testing. He has lost all sense of time. When we hear from him next, he will publish results of tests.

My guess is option 1, but for our sake I'm rooting for Option 3! What do you think?

Part 1. Look for link to part2. firewalk episode coming in a few days.

A few examples from the article.

Trump's saying he's worth $10 billion is an "anchor" in your mind. It's big, round, outrageous and therefore easy to remember.

Trumps insults are what Adams calls "Linguistic Kill Shots", not random insults. They're engineered to have a visual component, ie Jeb does look "Low Energy" and are built for conformation bias so when he does something weak in the future it reinforces the nick-name.

Trump does something called "Pacing and Leading". When he started with the birther issue, he was "pacing" the people, matching their high emotional state. Once he paces them, he owns them. Then he can slowly, back n forth take them to less extreme positions. It worked to a T when he had the birther event where he had on veteran after veteran talking about how good Trump was, then he goes, "Obama's a citizen, forget birtherism". All his supporters laughed and moved on.

That's how he was able to win. His verbal skill set is second to none.

16,000 people have RSVP'd in under two days for a mass demonstration in Portland on Inauguration Day. If anywhere near that many people show up, it will set a record for the largest demonstration in Portland history. Many other cities are expecting similar events. In Washington D.C, a huge number of people are expected to march to the mall in protest of his proposed policies.

Thanks in advance.

I'm working on my graduation project, I want to create the following, and I'd like to hear how you think about it;

"A mobile app, with information about how to make the best timelapses, using any technique (1080p, 4k, HDR, stereoscopic 3d etc) with tips and tricks for the settings."

It will not be an app that makes the timelapse, nor will it be an app that tells you exactly which settings to use; it should be more of a reference work, a helping hand.

Now I'm trying to use the design thinking method to build this idea, so that's why I need opinions. What do you guys think? Is it worth working on? What do you think should definetely be included or excluded? I'm thinking about an app because I suppose it's nice to have it with you when you're shooting a timelapse, but maybe that's a wrong assumption?

I've started two new youtube channels. Feel free to stop on by and maybe subscribe.

The first is my vlog. For starters I consider big name vloggers like jesse wellens, jon Olsson and will soon have a huge new casey neistat primer and study. I am the grumpy old man of youtube- some quite funny.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrTwJLfvnpBa2cdy1f0UKgg

The second is camera gear reviews- I've moved from vimeo where I had 100k views. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDxx6qnqk7s6x0_icNE40gg

(Only thing missing is, how much lying to the masses is involved in every political system - but you can figure that out by yourselfe;-)

Dr Stephen Sinatra

"Cholesterol is really not the villain. I mean, we need it to live. The problem is cholesterol is involved in a repair process. Look, cholesterol is found at the scene of the crime, it's not the perpetrator." ..from the transcript

Almost one million people tuned into science program Catalyst's (994,000) expose of the myth of the dangers of high cholesterol and high saturated fat consumption..The Australian

A leading public health physician is warning the ABC not to air a second program on cholesterol, saying it could result in deaths. This is about anti-cholesterol drugs known as statins, which are widely used in Australia.

The chair of the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Medicines has written to the ABC in a private capacity, warning the program might cause people not to take their drugs. ABC News

I am one consumer who spends $41.50 a month on statins, hoping they will keep me healthy. The statins cause me muscle pain on top of the wallet pain. 15 years ago, my mother's doctor stopped taking his statins. Last year, my own doctor stopped as well.

There are regular TV ads warning us not to stop taking our statins.

Lots of my fellow Australians will be waiting for Part II where the Catalyst program will address the issue of the world's most prescribed drug in history.

The Australian Medical Association has said it's time we had this debate.

I said that services like YouTube and Vimeo usually re-compress the video for Internet playback, so if one captured the playback, it'd definitely be different. But, some services allow people to download the original uploaded video.

So, I'd like to ask everyone: Is there some characteristic (like bitrate) that we can check to see if the video is the "camera original" or if it's been processed by something else?

As I travel a bit more, lugging camera equipment is something I would like to avoid. GH2 is still good enough for my needs. But the portability...it bothers me. If I want to travel light, I only take the kid lens, 14-140. It has that "better" OIS, versatile zoom range, sharp enough. Sucks at night but ok, I can live with that. But having GH2 with 14-140 makes little sense, with all of my other lenses at home. It's like having a fancy bridge camera with me.

So I was thinking about selling it? But for some reason, being that is my first "dslr", I have second thoughts about being without it, lol. The price drop on GH2 is just...criminal, haha. I can't expect too much from the sale, with GH5 around the way, it would be sort of a miracle to manage to sell the 3 generation older camera for a good price.

What should I do? I see some people still laud GH2 video quality. I wouldn't like to be without it. Did Lumix come up with a bridge camera that's on par with GH2 video? I looked around and saw their FZ72, can't believe the zoom range, but the video examples I looked at on YouTube look...weak. Any options for this situation?

Now, Sony's new PlayStation 4 Pro comes (in November) with significantly improved, 4k/HDR capable hardware - but only an ordinary BluRay drive, so it cannot replay UHD BluRays. Epic Fail.

That's even more bewildering as competitor MicroSoft built an UHD BluRay drive even in its much lower powered XBox S.

I have actually taken the loss better than I would have expected. I've been able to keep a positive attitude, and a freelance job came out of nowhere the day my stuff was stolen so that I will be able afford to replace most of what I lost. In total I lost around $6,500 worth of gear. Now I need to replace it to be able to keep shooting. I will buy another GH2 for sure, but I also thought it would be interesting to post about what happened and hear if there are any suggestions from the community about possible upgrades, so that the misfortune actually becomes an opportunity to enhance what I was working with. Of course I will need something that can cut with my hacked GH2 footage, but a lot obviously changes in 4 years... so if any of you could put yourselves in my situation, what purchases would you make to update and replace your kit?

Here are the lenses I lost:

• SLR Magic 12mm
• Lumix 20mm pancake
• Lumix 25mm 1.4
• Lumix 12-35mm
• Olympus 45mm
• Olympus 40-150
• Rokinon 85mm

and the sound gear I had:

• Sennheiser MKH 40
• Sennheiser wireless Lav kit w/ a Countrymen Lav mic
• Zoom H6

Many thanks for any suggestions.

This is Iris here, I'm from Hongkong and I'm a amateur photographer. Just started my journey here, is there anyone can fill me in with more details.

Much thanks.
