The Films of Cartier-Bresson by admin

Cartier-Bresson, known as the ‘father of photojournalism’, co-directed an anti-fascist film with Herbet Kline. The film was directed during the years of the Spanish civil war and heavily promoted the Republican cause, their medical services in particular. ‘Victoire de la Vie’, or ‘Return to Life’, was a documentary concerning medical relief during the Spanish Civil War for the Republican side. Having learnt the rudiments of documentary filmmaking in New York in 1935, Cartier-Bresson also provided “most of the visual ideas” for the film, according to Herbert Kline.

The amount of footage that was condensed into one documentary film would certainly have filled a memory card or two. As would the amount of fottage used by Cartier-Bresson for the subsequent two films that he directed in support of Republican Spain: L’Espagne vivra (‘Spain Will Live’) and ‘With the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain’. When the French army collapsed in June 1943, Cartier-Bresson was taken prisoner but managed to escape the Nazi work camp he was held in near Stuttgart on his third attempt in Fenruary 1943.

Dynamic Ideas with the MR11 LED in Sconces by admin

Even though the MR11 LED is typically used as recessed spot lighting, it doesn’t have to be used like this. We recently came across a stunning lighting plan using several MR11 LED lamps in sconces. The home owner was on a very strict decorating budget and didn’t have any artwork in the room or any other elements which seemed worth of bringing focus to with a spotlight. So, she instead used the MR11 LED spotlights to make a focal point.

The ingenious idea involves at least 2 sconces but works even better with 4. The sconces all have spotlights in them which, in this case, were MR11 LED lamps. Instead of just putting the sconces in a row on the wall, the homeowner put a pair of them vertical but facing each other. So, one sconce was mounted regularly whereas the other sconce was upside-down above it. In this formation, the MR11 LED lamps were shining right at each other. This caused their light to meet and create a diamond pattern on the wall which looked fantastic!

Saffron by admin

Saffron is a wonderful spice that derives from flowers called Saffron Crocuses. Crocuses form a genus in the family Iridaceae. The dried stigmas, in addition to the stalks that connect such stigmas to the host plant, are used in many cuisines as both a seasoning and a colouring agent. Saffron has long enjoyed the status as the world’s most expensive spice by weight.

Cleopatra utilised saffron in her baths in late Hellenistic Egypt so that sexual intercourse would be more pleasurable. Saffron was used by Egyptian healers to treat many different gastrointestinal ailments. In certain Levantine cities such as Sidon and Tyre, Saffron was used as a fabric dye. Saffron was often used in medicines for wounds during the Roman era, Aulus Cornelius Celsus prescribing it for scabies, colic, wounds, and coughs. The Romans loved saffron so very much that they took it with them when they colonized southern Gaul. Until the fall of Rome, saffron was extensively cultivated in southern Gaul. I absolutely love saffron! I was lucky enough to visit India a few years ago and buy rather a lot of it extremely cheaply.

Smaller Trucks in the Interests of Safety by admin

In the interests of truck safety, 82% of Americans have opposed new proposals to increase the length and weight of big trucks. People are also of the opinion that having larger trucks on the roads would make driving harder for the non-truck driving masses. Many truck drivers are reluctant to drive such large trucks also as they are harder to control and definitely harder to stop. Over 80% of truck drivers are of the belief that double and triple trailer trucks are less safe than single-trailer trucks.

Truck drivers rightly point out that in an emergency, they have no control over a third trailer. Any sudden manoeuvre provokes a crack-the-whop effect with violent swinging that can lead to a trailer separation, or a rollover. When rounding short radius highway curves or street intersections, long combination trucks present a hazard as they must encroach into opposed lanes of traffic to negotiate them. The longer the ring, the more it will swing out into other lanes of traffic when it turns a corner which is highly unsafe.
