Using Open Scenes to Act Successfully on Stage and Screen

Using Open Scenes to Act Successfully on Stage and Screen

Using Open Scenes as a way in to scripted material this book establishes a foundational actor training methodology that can be applied to the performance of film or television acting commercials and theatrical realism. Unlike other methodologies this unique approach is devoid of casting considerations or imposed identity providing actors opportunities that do not rely on nor are restricted by age gender race ethnicity regional accent body type identity or other defining or delimiting aspects that come into play during the casting process. This allows the actor to focus on personal authenticity as they develop their skills. This book will appeal to undergraduate students acting teachers and the contemporary actor seeking a career in film television or other electronic media.

Real-Time Embedded Systems Open-Source Operating Systems Perspective

Real-Time Embedded Systems Open-Source Operating Systems Perspective

From the Foreword: …the presentation of real-time scheduling is probably the best in terms of clarity I have ever read in the professional literature. Easy to understand which is important for busy professionals keen to acquire (or refresh) new knowledge without being bogged down in a convoluted narrative and an excessive detail overload. The authors managed to largely avoid theoretical-only presentation of the subject which frequently affects books on operating systems. … an indispensable [resource] to gain a thorough understanding of the real-time systems from the operating systems perspective and to stay up to date with the recent trends and actual developments of the open-source real-time operating systems. —Richard Zurawski ISA Group San Francisco California USA Real-time embedded systems are integral to the global technological and social space but references still rarely offer professionals the sufficient mix of theory and practical examples required to meet intensive economic safety and other demands on system development. Similarly instructors have lacked a resource to help students fully understand the field. The information was out there though often at the abstract level fragmented and scattered throughout literature from different engineering disciplines and computing sciences. Accounting for readers’ varying practical needs and experience levels Real Time Embedded Systems: Open-Source Operating Systems Perspective offers a holistic overview from the operating-systems perspective. It provides a long-awaited reference on real-time operating systems and their almost boundless application potential in the embedded system domain. Balancing the already abundant coverage of operating systems with the largely ignored real-time aspects or physicality the authors analyze several realistic case studies to introduce vital theoretical material. They also discuss popular open-source operating systems—Linux and FreRTOS in particular—to help embedded-system designers identify the benefits and weaknesses in deciding whether or not to adopt more traditional less powerful techniques for a project. | Real-Time Embedded Systems Open-Source Operating Systems Perspective

Introduction to Systems Ecology

Introduction to Systems Ecology

Possibly the first textbook to present a practically applicable ecosystems theory Introduction to Systems Ecology helps readers understand how ecosystems work and how they react to disturbances. It demonstrates—with many examples and illustrations—how to apply the theory to explain observations and to make quantitative calculations and predictions. In this book Sven Erik Jørgensen takes a first step toward integrating thermodynamics biochemistry hierarchical organization and network theory into a holistic theory of systems ecology. The first part of the book covers the laws of thermodynamics and the basic biochemistry of living organisms as well as the constraints they impose on ecosystems. To grow and develop however ecosystems have to evade these thermodynamic and biochemical constraints so the second part of the book discusses the seven basic properties that enable ecosystems to grow develop and survive:They are open systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium. They are organized hierarchically. They have a high diversity. They have high buffer capacities toward changes. Their components are organized in cooperative networks which allows for sophisticated feedback regulation mechanisms and higher efficiencies. They contain an enormous amount of information embodied in genomes. They have emerging system properties. This timely textbook also looks at how systems ecology is applied in integrated environmental management particularly in ecological modeling and engineering and in the assessment of ecosystem health using ecological indicators. Acknowledging that there is still much room for improvement it will inspire ecologists to develop a stronger and more widely applicable ecosystem theory.

Married to Melanesia

Married to Melanesia

‘We were married after three years at opposite ends of the world…. We then too rapidly for comfort made off in a snowstorm for the South Seas…. All this we imprudently did in our late forties. ’ Thus Muriel Jones introduces her account originally published in 1974 of how she came to start her married life in the Solomon Islands ‘whose impact was traumatic perhaps just because we were not in our first youth or innocent of other tropical experience’. ‘St Peter’s College was the only thing at Siota’; there was no store and the only post office on the island ‘was so difficult of access that I never visited it … we ourselves did most of the postal business – quite informally – at our end of the island’. It is not surprising that even high-ranking visitors tended to arrive looking like ship-wrecked sailors. ‘If one was ill enough to see a doctor one was on the whole too ill to be subjected to several hours of sun or rain in an open boat and a probable night en route. ’ There is too the account of the old lady whose family on her death wanted to bury her in a coffin instead of the customary mat. ‘Poor old lady; at the end of all these exertions the coffin with her in it stood in the church for the funeral uneasily supported on two rickety small tables from our sitting room mutely exhorting us to STOW AWAY FROM BOILERS. ’ Muriel Jones tells the unusual story of her five Melanesian years of the impact of Christianity on a pagan people of her husband’s college and its move to another island of the students the islands and their animals and exotic vegetation of the islanders (nine-tenths of whom live in communities ranging from twenty to two hundred people) and of their changing way of life. Her story takes one about as far as it is possible to go from an urban civilisation and in telling it she reveals the resources of her own character. | Married to Melanesia
