Half-soles include the front half of a ballet shoe, with one or two elastic straps that loop around the heel to keep them on the foot. Half-soles, or “turners” as many dancers call them, are exactly that – half of a dance shoe that purports to help dancers turn better. Dance paws and similar kinds of footwear come in Extra Small through Extra Large sizes, which are converted from street shoe size, so be sure to consult a size guide for help choosing the right size for your dancer. How Are Dance Paws Supposed To Fit?ĭance paws should fit snugly, as any extra movement from them around the foot could cause a dancer to slip and fall. The original Dance Paws have not changed much over the years, while brands like Capezio created their version, called Foot Undeez, in a variety of colors and fun patterns. The toes and heel are out in this style of shoe, which are able to help the dancer feel the floor without anything in the way. Lyrical shoes like these are the most low profile foot covering on the market, meant to provide traction and protection for only the ball of the foot. There are usually holes for each individual toe, or one large opening for the 4 small toes and a small hole for the big toe. Read on to find out the details of about each style as well as which ones are called foot thongs or even Foot Undeez, as well as our picks for the best ones on the market so you can shop for contemporary and lyrical shoes with confidence! What Is a Dance Paw, Foot Thong or Toe Undie?ĭance paws, foot thongs, toe undies – you’d be hard-pressed to call these “shoes”, but that is essentially the purpose they serve! Dance paws are like fingerless gloves for your feet, with a suede patch on the ball of the foot which is attached to a mesh or neoprene fabric that wraps around the front of the foot like a glove. Nearly all dancewear brands make a version of these items, and it can be overwhelming if you have never heard of these kinds of shoes before. Check with your studio for their requirements for footwear in case you need to purchase something specific. All three styles of footwear are minimalist in nature, and meant to achieve that “barely there” look from stage, blending in with the leg line.

Tagging some people for visibility: The Hooker story: /oQEZDNcwxP- Drift0r ApDrift0r Twitter As well as examining the lives of gleaners, who subsist from the remnants of modern agriculture, Varda extends the metaphor to enquire about those who live by more modern forms of gleaning.įinally, in The Beaches of Agnès (2008), Varda relays her own story by employing a range of filmic techniques, including the re-staging of dramatic events in her life and the use of symbolic visual sets that combine to flesh out her thoughts and concepts, while at the same time giving an insight into her creative processes through the years.Drift0r on Twitter Here's a thread of videos where I prove my claims against Eight Thoughts & Blu. Gleaning is the act of gathering the leftovers from a harvest after the main, profitable crop has been taken away by the farmer. In The Gleaners and I (2000), Varda examines the lives of those who live off-grid in France. Shot in black and white on location in Demy's childhood home, the film is intercut with actual footage of the young Demy and with scenes from his early films. In Jacquot De Nantes(1992), the childhood of director Jacques Demy is recreated by his widow, Varda. Beginning with her death, the film presents Mona's final perambulations through the lives of various characters, all of whom offered different potential for escape. Vagabond(1985) tells the story of the final few weeks of the life of female drifter Mona (Sandrine Bonnaire), who feels incapable of participating in ordinary French society. When middle-class teenager Pomme (Valérie Mairesse) helps her troubled 20-something neighbour Suzanne (Thérèse Liotard) to find the money for an abortion, a lifelong friendship between the two women ensues. One Sings, the Other Doesn't(1977) charts the friendship of two women against the backdrop of the feminist movement of the 1960s and '70s. But when he tries to share his joyful discovery with his wife, her reaction is far from the delight that François hoped for. As he basks in the joy and passion of his new relationship, he finds that far from feeling alienated from his family, his feelings for them are actually enhanced and intensified. In Le Bonheur (1965), François (Jean-Claude Drouot), a happily-married carpenter with a young family, finds himself falling in love with telephone operator Emilie (Marie-France Boyer). Along the way she meets up with her lover and with her composers, visits her model friend Dorothee (Dorothee Blank), has a brief affair with a passing soldier, drinks coffee and buys a new hat with her maid before finally meeting up with her doctor to receive the diagnosis. In Cleo from 5 to 7(1962), while waiting for the result of a medical test, French singer Cleo (Corinne Marchand) spends a couple of hours - shown in real time - wandering through the streets of Paris. Set against the backdrop of daily life in the Mediterranean fishing village of La Pointe Courte, the film follows young married couple Parisian Elle (Silvia Monfort) and local man Lui (Philippe Noiret) as they struggle to adapt to their changing lives after making the decision to move back to his birthplace. In La Pointe Courte(1955), Varda's directorial debut, the semi-documentary explores the complexities of a marital relationship. The Blu-ray box set contains eight discs spanning six decades of Varda’s feature films, over six hours of special features (including interviews, featurettes and short films) plus a specially commissioned 100-page book. The Agnès Varda Collection is a selection of her most illuminating narrative features. Her influential career began in the 1950s with La Pointe Courte- often considered the unofficial first film of the New Wave - and continued for seven decades, and in 2017 she became the first female director to be awarded an honorary Oscar. Revered for her bold political and autobiographically inspired work, Agnès Varda is a seminal feminist filmmaker and matriarch of the French New Wave. Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time Cinema Unbound: The Creative Worlds of Powell and Pressburger No need for a zoom on an interview situation really. If you do not really care about versatility, just buy one of the primes the people mentioned above. I didn't like the photos zoomed in (you should have shot 4K, and make the zoom ins, or zoom in from 100% to 120%, even this small-ish difference is enough to make your point and does not harm your image, hell, sometimes I do 100-105% zoom in and is enough to make my statement). It is not only that its true detail-discerning capability closely match that of, say, Canon's L 1.2, but also and in color rendition and grading was my point exactly! Your second older video, was more to my liking, didn't have a constant movement of its shots, that caused me nervousness. From my experience - although I didn't try last Oly pro f1.2 primes - just two of them could be left without filter cloth - one of two is Olympus 75mm on Panasonic, and I don't know why. (Saying that, just to add - shooting with m43 electronically controlled lenses, for getting mellower cine-image it is usually "the-must" usage of some a-la-mist filter for taming oversharply contrast. So, I dare to quote here Little Prince as shooting guru - “It's the time you spent on your rose that makes your rose so important." If you love your lens(es), you'll find a way to make the best out of it. in 4k.Īs everybody here knows - even in work circumstances, shooting is mostly some sort of loving process. For example, with Voigtlander 17.5 there are 17.5/25/47.25 = 35/50/95mm full frame equivalent options for HD, or 35/50 full frame eq. There's also and third for HD, multiplication is x2.7 and with GH5 we can shoot with All-I amazing 200Mb HD codec - if final delivery format is HD, and if you can go under 800 ISO value, with one fast prime you indeed have some sort of zoom. This, I suppose, can't be enough stressed. No need for a zoom on an interview situation the GH5s has ETC mode, so you are effectively getting two focal lengths for the price of one. Sorry to say, but the new Pannasonic 12-60 handles like a toy in front of this, is 2.8 only on its wide end, and goes to 60mm, great little lens, good offer, but the Olympus is screaming business! The ability to have hard stops on your 2 focus extreme is unparalleled and very useful on the field, the quality in most focal lengths is outstanding, MSC ("Movie & Still Compatible") focusing system, minimum focusing distance at 0.15m (0.49ft)!!! with x0.6 magnification, real 5 stop image stabilization, fully splashproof/dustproof/freezerproof and so small and light! The separation when you shoot wide open, and above 50mm, is tremendous. I leave in Athens by the way (a Greek, but not a will add again the same lens I did before, because I believe 2 times, that is the best lens for the job! Nicosia, yes, but I traveled a little bit, I had many friends in Cyprus from Uni in UK. A TRIPOD SHOT IS A SHOT USING A CAMERA ON A TRIPOD! My advice is, do not forget your other stabilized methods. Ibis is a huge trap, EVERYONE I know have fallen into. Was my point exactly! Your second older video, was more to my liking, didn't have a constant movement of its shots, that caused me nervousness. So I read this post, and specifically the reply from Vegeta, downloaded the Crash Course and attempted to follow the process.Bearing in mind I have absolutely no experience (or knowledge!) in coding there is very, very little chance I'll be able to manage that. Annoyingly, there is only 1 episode left!! I presume there is some form of encoding that stops ClipGrab working its magic. Evidently, ITV Hub has now changed to ITVx and that no longer works. I had downloaded the first 15 episodes of The World Cup Preview Show on ITV Hub just using ClipGrab. I'm in my 70s lol.įollowing on from this, I'm looking to do something similar to the OP. Purely from using some excellent Python tutorials on YouTube, I'm not too bad now (but still "wet behind the ears" compared to even many amateurs). Three months ago I hadn't done any coding of any form (well, apart from Basic in the early 1980s and 6502 and Z80 machine code programming, again early 1980s). Then it downloads encrypted audio and video files, using aria2c of course (at the same time making sure it uses the none AD audio stream where that's appropriate). Then it takes the inputted mpd URL & licence and finds KEY# using our old friendly l3.py It takes the string that's on the clipboard, adds it to start of a barebones headers.py, extracts the request_id and token and copies it to existing text in headers.py. He'll also have to input (when prompted) the mpd URL, license URL and final file name that he wants. I didn't even realise somebody else had streamlined All4 player better than myself lol.Īll the user has to do is first copy to clipboard from that cURL to Python convertor. The guy behind made a Node.js library (the site seems to be an interface to it), so I just installed Node.js and that library ( npm install -global curlconverter & npm link curlconverter) and had the Python script run AbortRetryFail Wow, some food for thought there. It would be the easiest way to do what you want though if you have better luck than me. The uncurl Python library is meant to turn cURL command lines into requests calls, but I could never get it to work. This person worked out how their site works from top-to-bottom and the result is you don't even need anything from the website other than the URL of an episode. However, since the license server doesn't seem to impose a time limit, you can skip parsing the manifest yourself and just download the encrypted episode in its entirety with yt-dlp or whatever first using the manifest URL, then read out the PSSH from the encrypted audio file - something like - and then make the license request. I didn't bother to attempt the manifest download part for this site, but I did confirm the PSSH is in the audio init segment. The "proper" way to do it (as done by the site itself): you need the manifest URL (which you have because you copied it from your browser or you managed to replicate the requests the site makes to the ITV API in your script) from it, you need to find the audio initialization segment, strip off the manifest filename from the manifest URL, append the BaseURL part to the URL and then the segment name, download said segment and then find the pssh box in the segment. Is everybody else getting similar?įor this site, that takes a bit of work. That is crappy 896x504 around 1400K with the godawful 96Kbps audio. All I'm getting is exactly what ITV Hub was. All the advertising hype about it was claiming it will be glorious 1080p. I'd love python code where you simply input the CURL into my script and it does the conversion for you, returning with a string (instead of having to do it manually).īack to ITVX. All4, Disc+) that require you to get the CURL(bash), input into a CURL to Python convertor. I'd love to know how to scrape that PSSH value using code within my script instead of manually having to copy/paste it.Īnother one I'd like to automate. One thing I haven't worked out how to do yet, if anybody could help or contact me. I'm trying to automate my python scripts for all the UK TV webplayers. It's actually the same method as it has been for Britbox. I'd already sussed it out, mine's similar to your method. Good info for others to follow so thanks for that. This bustling spot on the Georgetown waterfront has an interesting concept: it’s owned by a consortium of American family farmers, and serves up a varied menu of farm-inspired and sustainable food and drink. My arugula with grapes and goat cheese, plus a cheesy, mushroom crepe was the perfect fuel for an afternoon of window shopping. For $12, you can order a crepe and a salad. Head off M Street and up Wisconsin for more independent boutiques and have your lunch at Cafe Bonaparte, a classic and cozy French joint, down to the yellow painted walls, black and white photos, and French-accented server. Georgetown has plenty of mall shops these days, but it’s still a charming area and worth a day of browsing. We loved the light and gluten-free waffle with berries, and a goat cheese egg white omelet aux fine herbes. This Belgian boite serves up fluffy waffles, moules frite, and over 100 beers. Lucky for us, we stumbled on B2 just around the corner from our hotel, Mason & Rook. The District is mad for brunch (and bottomless Bloody Mary’s!) and it’s a rough time to get a table. Murals, books, overstuffed armchairs, this place is right up my alley. Have a latte with your laptop on the couch in the morning, meet friends for lunch or dinner, or sip a glass of wine at the bar at happy hour. This superhip spot on 14th Street is popular, well, pretty much all day long. Is there anything better than a coffeeshop/winebar/bookstore/burger joint mashup? Ummm, I don’t think so. This is a popular spot on 14th Street, so make reservations, and then enjoy boquerones, Iberico ham, pintxos, bocadillos and more from an extensive menu of tapas. You probably already know my penchant for small plates and the fixation started in Spain. Reserve well ahead.ĭC is crazy for Spanish food and I am, too. This is NOT a spot for watching calories, but lively and fun for watching people. Indulge in the pommes puree even though there’s probably as much butter as potato. She can’t pass up steak frites and I stick with the Trout almondine. We always start off with a kir and a basket of toasty, cheesy gougeres to get us in the mood. It’s our favorite place for pretending we’re in Paris. My daughter and I never miss a chance for dinner at Le Diplomate. You’ll find an outpost of Salt & Sundry here, too.Īngelika has a pop-up movie theater just down the street from Union Market and I waddled over for a matinee of The Post (seemed appropriate!). You’ll find a few sit-down restaurants here also, but for me, it’s a walk-around-and-taste-as-much-as-you-can sort of place. I went for the tacos, which is a handy vehicle for seasoned bulgogi and chicken, served with homemade hot sauces. I couldn’t resist the savory mini donuts from B Donut (more smoked salmon, stuffed with cream cheese and “everything” sprinkles a giant leap forward for donuts)! Then I was hard-pressed to choose between knishes, arepas (my daughter’s favorite), and Korean tacos. I started off with a Swedish Smorgastarta (sandwich cake), a layered confection of smoked salmon, cream cheese, dill, egg, and shrimp, and quite possibly the perfect breakfast. From empanadas and knishes to oysters and arepas, this giant food hall showcases all that DC has to offer. You’ll want to taste everything and you can’t go it alone (I did and was sorry!). If you want to get a snapshot of the food scene in DC, spend an afternoon at Union Market and bring a SQUAD. We’ve eaten at our fair share of fancy restaurants (both the Equinox and Blue Duck Tavern are worth the $$$), but here are a few we return to: If you’re willing to brave the queue at Little Serow or Rose’s Luxury, let me know how they are. This is by no means a list of the hottest spots in town, as those are often difficult to snag a reservation (which means thinking ahead, not a specialty of my family) OR they don’t take reservations (which means waiting in line, also not our thing). There are also allegations relating to two apartments of other improprieties relating to occupants’ qualifications in relation to income. The Complaint, either intentionally or mistakenly intertwines Cadman Towers and Cadman Plaza North. Salas is correct, he has not yet suffered any loss or consequence. Management advises they have not reached this list, so even if Mr. Salas alleges that he submitted an application for a 1-bedroom apartment at Cadman Towers in 2009, paid the application fee and that the notation was inaccurate and he should remain on the waiting list as an eligible applicant. Salas’s name appears at Number 291 on CPN’s third one- bedroom waitlist (from the Octolottery) with a notation indicating that his application fee was not received. Salas’s claims appear to relate to the waiting list at Cadman Plaza North. KLL confirmed that Mr. The Report 2014-N-3 dated July 2015 focused on three developments, one of which was named as Cadman Towers (a 421-unit Mitchell-Lama located in Brooklyn) but the Complaint interchangeably uses Cadman Towers and Cadman Plaza North. Plaintiff Adrian Salas and his alleged experience with the “Cadman Towers” Waiting List: We believe HPD and the other named defendants will dispute the allegations. The complaint only alleges one count for relief: violation of due process, that is that each plaintiff acquired a property interest in their place on the waiting list and right to an apartment once they (the plaintiff) reached the top of the list, but were deprived of this property interest without sufficient notice or an opportunity to be heard and that they were thus deprived of a property interest without due process. The complaint further alleges that HPD failed to monitor and supervise these waiting lists and refers to a report produced by the Division of State Government Accountability (Report 2014-N-3) entitled “The Mitchell- Lama Program: Awarding Housing Units and Maintaining Waiting Lists” in support of such allegations. The class (meaning people who may join in this action) compromises of: all persons who any time after Januwere placed on a waiting list and were subsequently removed from the waiting list without proper notice. The plaintiffs allege that they (i) were placed on waiting lists at various Mitchell-Lama housing developments, (ii) paid non-refundable application fees, (iii) were never contacted about the availability of an apartment, and (iv) were unjustly removed from waiting lists without notice or explanation. The only defendants named are The City of New York, the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (“HPD”) and Louise Carroll, the Commissioner of HPD. This memo addresses the general allegations of the complaint and describes some examples of alleged misconduct. On December 5, 2019, a class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of New York alleging that the Mitchell-Lama program has failed to be administered in a fair and consistent manner. A link to the lawsuit is here: The communication from our attorney is below: As discussed at the open meeting January 8, a class action lawsuit was issued against HPD in which Cadman Plaza North was named. |
