College paint pro3/31/2023 ![]() It might be in this scenario an acrylic permanent ‘non-removable varnish fits the job. However, it’s a personal call as I appreciate some of our paintings end up on the neighbour’s wall. I always think of portraits and paintings handed down to generations in the future it is definitely worth varnishing with an old school technique. Is removable varnishing appropriate for you? Personally, I always work with a removable varnish to ensure the future preservation of the aesthetics of my paintings. They will give you a nice even finish to your work – without going through the process below. It’s worth noting there are many Acrylic permanent ‘non-removable varnishes on the market. ![]() Still, it’s worth remembering that although it’s often called a ‘Final picture varnish’, traditionally, varnishes are meant to have the capacity to be removed without damaging the painting. Portrait of a lady with a dog 1590s, Lavinia Fontana 1552-1614 ( Rebecca Gregg Conservationmidpoint through a varnish removal)Īs I mention below, there are other aesthetic reasons to varnish. So when a painting has yellowed and looks suitably dirty, the varnish can be removed (and all the dirt with it), restoring the painting to its vibrant, former glory, then a new varnish can be applied to protect it for the next 100 years or so. The varnish provides a non-porous, protective layer that is removable for conservation purposes it serves its aesthetic purpose whilst also providing protection.Īny dirt attached to the painting will be on the varnish layer and not embedded in the paint layer. Traditionally varnishes were applied to keep paintings protected from all the dust, dirt, smoke etc. With all the confusion, conflicting advice and frustration in creating the perfect varnish finish, you can’t help wondering, what’s the point of varnishing at all?… The anxiety and disappointment that comes with varnishing can sometimes seem too much. Or maybe you thought it was a good idea to wrap your newly varnished painting with bubble wrap just before the deadline of an exhibition, only to find out at the private view the bubble wrap had left hundreds of tiny circle imprints on the surface of the painting….mmm.surely no one would ever do that! You’re now sure there are mismatched sheens on the surface, and it was perfect before you started varnishing! >p>Visit or call us at 1-800-32-PAINT (1-80).Spent hours, days, even weeks slaving away on a painting, but when we finally apply a varnish…it all goes horribly wrong. >p>It’s the end of March, and April is just around the corner…do you have your paint job scheduled for the summer?

Johnson, a lauded cinematographer who made the brilliant 2016 documentary Cameraperson by cobbling together footage she had previously shot, was facing the advancing age of her beloved father, C. It's often laugh-out-loud funny, but also a sob-fest from beginning to end. Kirsten Johnson's Dick Johnson Is Dead is simply one of the most beautiful, moving, personal, and probably even helpful pieces about loss that anyone has ever created. The convicted man eventually opens up when he begins referring to his crimes in the third person, but, like most serial killers, he's impossible to relate to, and you wind up learning little about what makes him tick. The tapes referenced in the title come from a journalist who interviewed a cagey Bundy on death row, but are ultimately secondary to the treasure trove of archival footage Berlinger intersperses throughout a relatively conventional docuseries peppered with talking heads-one of whom survived a Bundy attack and is one of the more revelatory figures in the doc. Bundy may have been a ruthless serial killer, but somehow law enforcement failed to catch him, allowed him to escape from prison TWICE, and wound up convicting him in Florida thanks to some flimsy evidence and a showboating prosecutor. ![]() While this Netflix docuseries focuses on a man whose guilt is never in question, he still manages to work in sly critiques of the American penal system. For a movie about the complexities of mechanical manufacturing, it feels refreshingly handmade.Ĭonversations With a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes (2019)ĭirector Joe Berlinger's work on the Paradise Lost trilogy centered on the myriad miscarriages of justice in the case of the West Memphis 3, who were convicted of murdering three boys in the mid-'90s. Despite sounding tremendously bleak, American Factory has more humor and humanity than your average magazine article about the challenges facing Middle America. Directors Julia Reichert and Steven Bognar put their cameras everywhere: terse board meetings, raucous union organizing sessions, casual break-room conversations, and, in one revealing sequence, a business trip to a Fuyao factory in China. American Factory follows the slow depletion of that hope as the corporate culture of the Chinese managements butts heads with the customs, attitudes, and economic priorities of the American workforce. ![]() Billionaire Chairman Cao Dewang arrived at his new facility with the intention of writing a bold new chapter in the expansion of global capitalism, delivering prosperity to a struggling area while getting rich in the process. Therefore, we’ve also added plenty of good documentaries on Netflix centering around investigation and exploring different yet no less interesting subjects other than homicide.When the Chinese company Fuyao Glass opened a new factory in Dayton, Ohio, there was so much hope in the air. But don’t worry, we totally get it if you are not a particular fan of true crime and murder stories. Maybe the reason why these Netflix true crime documentaries are performing so well is because they touch the viewer on levels so deep that no fictional story ever will.īelow, we’ve compiled some of the best documentaries on Netflix that will surely stick in your memory long after you’ve watched them. ![]() This documentary made me, and perhaps many more people, realize that there are far scarier and more disturbing things than those depicted in horror movies. Arguably the first Netflix documentary I saw and believe initiated the consequent heavy production of other documentaries on Netflix was Mark Lewis’ documentary Don’t F**k with Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer.Īrguably one of the best Netflix documentaries, it told the horrific account of the “Internet Killer” that shocked the audiences to the core. Netflix documentaries are your way to go if you are looking for retellings of significant historical events, true crime accounts, and other factual stories that matter. Other than successfully adapting some of the greatest novels to films, Netflix does a beautiful job of conveying true accounts that happened to real people to the screen. ![]() Chrome qvr client3/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() These cookies can be deleted via your web browser privacy settings. will then add some temporary cookies to their browser in order to keep them logged in.

And it didn’t have to be this way – if only the Qataris had honoured decent standards and the world had maintained pressure about workers’ rights.Īnd compare it to the number of deaths constructing other major sporting events: the Olympics in London 2012 there were zero fatalities, in Rio four years later there were eight deaths and two workers perished building last year’s Japanese Olympic infrastructure. Thousands of healthy young migrants have died from accidents, exhaustion or heart attacks to bring us a football tournament. According to campaigners more than 6,500 migrant workers have died in Qatar since they were awarded the World Cup. Too many haven’t lived to see the tournament or grow old and tell their grandchildren about their place in building football history. Many of those workers won’t be returning home. Those I met lived packed into overheated and overcrowded lorry containers which boiled in temperatures regularly averaging over 100☌.īut there’s something more serious which we should never forget and probably never forgive Fifa and Qatar for. In the UK it wouldn’t be acceptable to treat a family pet or, I would go as far to say, even a farm animal, in the squalid way in which too many World Cup workers were treated. Mark Aitken, The Post’s political editor, was with me on one of the trips and shared my horror. So, I twice visited Qatar to meet with workers on the sites. I wanted to know more about what was going on there. The Sunday Post view: It is not Fifa’s, not Qatar’s. If Scotland had the same ratio of citizens to migrants, we would be home to 48 million migrant workers. So instead of relying on their own people, their economy is permanently sustained by immigrants who make up almost 90% of their population. Put that another way – there are more seats in the tournament stadiums than there are citizens of the country. It is a country almost seven times smaller than Scotland and, in a population of just under 3million, there are only 300,000 Qataris. The country just doesn’t have enough of its own citizens to build the hotels, new airport and seven stadiums that are needed. Loading Spinner An icon of a loading spinner.

A side effect of the moratorium process is the fact that videos and DVDs of Disney films placed on moratorium become collectables, sold in stores and at auction websites such as eBay for sums in excess of their original suggested retail price. The Walt Disney Company itself states that this process is done to both control their market and to allow Disney films to be fresh for new generations of young children. Therefore all three are still considered part of the "Vault" for safe assumption. ![]() However it has been aired on television and was available on some "on demand" devices during this time.īecause Disney is notorious for changing their scheduled releases and because the films are as successful as the others, the possibility of them being released in the Vault cycle is very likely the fact that they were officially announced and changed at the last minute is also proof that this might happen again. Today they are currently available on digital and occasionally on certain streaming devices but are incredibly hard to find in stores.Īladdin was put into the vault and unavailable on DVD for a long time before its 2015 Blu-ray release. Nonetheless, they were only released on a Special Edition. However, at the end of the 2000's they were both announced to be released on Platinum/ Diamond edition. Disney has kept a "tradition" of keeping them out of the vault, despite the fact that they are very successful and critically acclaimed, equivocal to that of films in the Disney Vault. Keeping the "tradition" of their success on television and therefore its seldom theatrical releases they were among the first Disney films to be released on TV (chosen because Dumbo's short length made it palatable, and Alice because it was initially a disappointment). It has been "officially" put in the Vault in 2011 but was available on Netflix until January 5, 2018.Īlice in Wonderland and Dumbo were among the first films to be released on home video. Despite this, like in Alice, the film has been announced at one point as a Diamond/Platinum release.

Television commercials for Disney home video releases will alert customers that certain films will be placed on moratorium soon, urging them to purchase these films before they "go back into the 'Disney Vault'", in the words often spoken by Mark Elliott. With the transition to DVD technology, the moratorium period was continued. During the 1980s and 1990s, when the home video market was dominated by VHS systems, Disney films would be reissued every ten years (a time gap equal to that of their theatrical reissues). 13 Amazing Artifacts From Inside the Time Inc.The practice is the modern version of Disney's practice of re-releasing its animated films in theaters every ten years, which began with the reissues of 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.Here’s the History of TIME’s Person of the Year Franchise.7 Fascinating Letters From the Time Inc.TIME's archives offer unique insight into the history of the job Explore History Curated by the editors of TIME TIME has used a red "X" to cross out various things on its cover only four other times Here’s How the First Fact-Checkers Were Able to Do Their Jobs Before the Internet Now, we take a new look The History Behind TIME’s Use of a Red ‘X’ on Its Cover It’s harder to be a teenager now than it was in 50 years ago - at least according to teenagers.

This is known as biliteracy, or “ the ability to read and write in two or more languages.”īiliteracy is explained by bilingual children’s greater phonological awareness and vocabulary memorization.Īdditionally, reading skills are transferable. This means that if English is L1 and Spanish is L2, the proficiency in both languages is enhanced by learning a second language. Literacy AcquisitionĪ study in bilingualism showed that “ knowledge of several different orthographies enhances L1 and L2 proficiency.” In other words, bilingualism does affect brain development, but in a positive way. Studies showed that “ higher proficiency in a second language correlates with higher gray matter volume in the left inferior parietal cortex.” Researchers have found that bilingualism “ may alter the neurological structures” and affect how they process information. If you’re worried about what bilingualism can do for brain development, don’t! Upgrades Your Child’s Neurological Structures The human mind isn’t like an empty warehouse with limited space to fill but more like a flexible balloon that expands itself as you keep adding knowledge to it. This results in bilingual kids having a higher vocabulary range than children that only speak their native language. Higher Vocabulary Rangeĭue to learning a second language, bilingual students tend to be exposed to more words in both languages than monolingual children. Learning about a different culture also benefits essential developing skills such as empathy, tolerance, and an open mind to the world and other cultures. This biculturalism develops in children “ a strong sense of their cultural identity” and an interest in cultural events.īut unfortunately, monocultural kids don’t share the same interest. She’s also adventuring into a whole new culture. When your child learns French, English or Spanish at Bilingual Bebe or Spanish at Homeschool Spanish Academy, she isn’t learning only grammar and spelling. Learning a new language is learning a new culture. Heighten Cultural Intelligence and Open-Mindedness Researchers have shown that “ bilingual students usually have stronger working memories and attention spans.” These are two of the main cognitive benefits of bilingualism and skills that directly influence academic results and behavioral progress. However, modern studies have shown that that’s simply not true and that quite the opposite happens. In the past, linguists and psychologists believed that learning a second language could slow down the development of children. Stronger Working Memories and Attention Spans So, if you want to help your child at school, considering a second language such as Spanish or French can be an excellent choice. Research has shown that bilingual children outperform monolingual ones in test scores and their reading and writing abilities.īilingual kids also have better attendance at school, fewer behavioral problems, and higher involvement from parents. Increases School Engagement and Academic Success Let’s now explore some of the main advantages of bilingualism, including social and cognitive benefits and career advantages, and other culturally essential benefits. Here are seven advantages bilingual children have over monolinguals. Their flexible and easy-to-use systems have earned the trust of tens of thousands of families. There are many benefits to bilingualism, multilingualism, biculturalism, and biliteracy.īilingual Bebe and Homeschool Spanish Academy understood this a long time ago and have been offering families in the US and worldwide the opportunity to raise bilingual children. ![]() The real question is-as you’ll see in a minute-why not? That’s why bilingual education institutions such as Bilingual Bebe and Homeschool Spanish Academy have become so popular in the last few years. Although different sources give different numbers, it’s estimated that over half of the global population is bilingual.Īs globalization became a reality, the advantages of being bilingual have become more evident than ever before. In the US alone, over 13 million kids, or 24% of the children in the country, speak a language other than English at home-Spanish being the most common one. More and more people are raising bilingual or multilingual children in today’s society. Perhaps you have seen other parents trying bilingualism at home, and it makes you wonder if you should try it too?
