They’ll do whatever it takes to ensure equipment arrives on time and budget.Ĭrispin Dominic, the owner, is a true filmmaker in his own right. Anything they don’t directly own, they can and will find. They are experts in Middle East shipping and customs processes & requirements. Their equipment is extremely well maintained, no small feat for gear that regularly works in the most grueling deserts on Earth. They own and rent the kind of lighting equipment professionals like to use. ![]() They have one of the largest movie lighting inventories in the Middle East. Action Filmz excelled as a reliable and trusted partner every step of the way. The hardest part of lighting Desert Warrior was sourcing, securing, shipping, delivering, and returning the Hollywood-grade equipment we needed to film this project. This is where Action Filmz, out of Dubai, UAE, stepped in and saved the day for the lighting department. At the time of production, there was minimal infrastructure to handle a sizeable Hollywood show. Internationals come from far more established networks and systems than Dubai, and often arrive hesitant as to what and who we are supplying them with and everytime they walk away with “OK so we can produce great work in Dubai”, it’s good to feel supported, when in our industry we work with so many variables and Action Filmz provide just that.Īction Filmz have never disappointed and always had great feedback from my international clients, for me you guys always pull together and work hard and are sweet to work with – so you get my vote anyday !

Welcome fellow travelers and residents of Grand Rapids, MI! ![]() ![]() In some of the previous administrations, we've seen a lot of symbolic things happen right away, responses to campaign promises, but in this case, clearly, he's going after some of the most controversial issues."īut just because a president signs an order on something he pledged during the campaign, doesn't mean it will become a reality. "In terms of scope and content, the first few things he's done are pretty dramatic. "If you look at that language, right after the first paragraph or so, when it gets into the policy stuff, you can see that a lot of it is right out of the campaign," he says.Ĭooper also says that executive actions are to be expected in the early days of an administration. He signed a memorandum withdrawing the United States from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, as well as directives to undermine the Affordable Care Act, temporarily halt refugee resettlement in the United States, revive the Keystone XL Pipeline, and build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.Īccording to Phillip Cooper, a professor of public administration at Portland State University and author of By Order of the President: The Use and Abuse of Executive Direct Action, the language in Trump's directives has been more bold than is typical. Instead, Trump's directives focus on showing that he's keeping his other campaign pledges. When asked whether President Trump had plans to sign an executive order on executive branch ethics, an administration spokeswoman said she had nothing to announce at this time. Although his transition team did announce that people serving in the administration would have to sign a strict ethics pledge, it's not clear whether that has happened. Sound familiar? It's very similar to Donald Trump's calls on the campaign trail to "drain the swamp." His proposal was almost exactly the same as President Clinton's order - a lifetime ban on executive officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government and a five-year ban on those officials becoming lobbyists upon leaving the administration.īut now a week into his presidency, Trump still hasn't made his swamp-draining policies official. It also said that they couldn't engage in activity on behalf of a foreign government or political party - ever. 20, 1993, said senior executive branch employees couldn't lobby their former agencies for five years. It may have relied on a FiveThirtyEight article that used data from a study that measured laws passed during Congress's first 100 days, not the presidents'.President Clinton's first executive order, signed Jan. (The White House's press release touting Trump's accomplishments in 100 days versus those of his predecessors cited the wrong number of laws for Obama and Clinton. "They can only sign the bills that Congress gives them, and although presidents like to take lots of credit, they actually have an insignificant role in the passage of most of them." "Either way, it helps to keep in mind that neither Trump nor Obama wrote the laws they signed," Tauberer told Business Insider. ![]() The bill tied to his effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (commonly known as Obamacare) failed to get a vote in the House. Trump signed a NASA bill to send humans to Mars, and a resolution to keep the government funded and prevent a shutdown for another week. Obama's stimulus package to keep the government funded had 358,113, and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act had 294,307. ![]() The vast differences between the number of pages or words those bills contained start to reveal what types of laws they were and what effects they ultimately had.Īccording to Josh Tauberer, founder of the legislative database GovTrack, bills with more words generally create government programs, and those with fewer are often rolling back regulations or programs. ![]() The number of bills signed into law is just part of the story.

PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, speaking after what he described as a heated meeting with golfers, told reporters at the Canadian Open in Toronto that the Tour and LIV Golf were “better off together than we were fighting or apart.” “The parties have signed an agreement that combines PIF’s golf-related commercial businesses and rights (including LIV Golf) with the commercial businesses and rights of the PGA Tour and DP World Tour into a new, collectively owned, for-profit entity,” the statement read.

The first planet detected around a Sun-like star, in 1995, turned out to be a hot Jupiter: a gas giant about half the mass of our own Jupiter in an extremely close, four-day orbit around its star. The picture didn’t always look so bright. The close connection between the chemistry of life on Earth and chemistry found throughout the universe, as well as the detection of widespread organic molecules, suggests detection of life itself is only a matter of time, he added. “To my thinking, it is inevitable that we’ll find some kind of life somewhere – most likely of some primitive kind,” Wolszczan said. The ESA (European Space Agency) mission ARIEL, launching in 2029, will observe exoplanet atmospheres a piece of NASA technology aboard, called CASE, will help zero in on exoplanet clouds and hazes. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, expected to launch in 2027, will make new exoplanet discoveries using a variety of methods. But soon powerful next-generation telescopes and their highly sensitive instruments, starting with the recently launched James Webb Space Telescope, will capture light from the atmospheres of exoplanets, reading which gases are present to potentially identify tell-tale signs of habitable conditions. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS), launched in 2018, continues to make new exoplanet discoveries. Wolszczan, who still searches for exoplanets as a professor at Penn State, says we’re opening an era of discovery that will go beyond simply adding new planets to the list. “The planet production process has to be very robust.” “If you can find planets around a neutron star, planets have to be basically everywhere,” Wolszczan said. Add to the mix planets orbiting two stars at once and planets stubbornly orbiting the collapsed remnants of dead stars.įinding just three planets around this spinning star essentially opened the floodgates, said Alexander Wolszczan, the lead author on the paper that, 30 years ago, unveiled the first planets to be confirmed outside our solar system. There are “super-Earths,” which are possible rocky worlds bigger than our own, and “mini-Neptunes,” smaller versions of our system’s Neptune. The 5,000-plus planets found so far include small, rocky worlds like Earth, gas giants many times larger than Jupiter, and “hot Jupiters” in scorchingly close orbits around their stars. The archive records exoplanet discoveries that appear in peer-reviewed, scientific papers, and that have been confirmed using multiple detection methods or by analytical techniques. The planetary odometer turned on March 21, with the latest batch of 65 exoplanets – planets outside our immediate solar family – added to the NASA Exoplanet Archive. But a new raft of discoveries marks a scientific high point: More than 5,000 planets are now confirmed to exist beyond our solar system. Not so long ago, we lived in a universe with only a small number of known planets, all of them orbiting our Sun. ![]() ![]() ![]() Integrated search - find words, phrases and examples in multiple dictionaries More dictionaries and updates will be added in the future!
