Black Country Cinema is a video poetry movement that emerged from the West Midlands film scene in early 2009. The group was set up by various Black Country artists as a retaliation to the rising number of film-makers, photographers and artists that felt they had to leave the West Midlands to become successful. One of the video poems What's So Good About London? (Carter, 2009) attacked this issue directly by studying a local photographer who was planning on leaving the West Midlands for London. The photographer in the video painted London almost like a utopia for creative people, which in many ways depicted the general mentality of young creative people in the Midlands at the time.
Despite this particular video poem being a social commentary, many of the videos were extremely personal to the artists. Reflections Of A Lonely Routine (Gill, 2009), He's A Nice Lad, But He Ay Never Right!? (Carter, 2009), A True Bikers Calling (Walker, 2009) and That One Day Burnzy got pissed off with Dan, but then realised there was no point getting angry! (Singh, 2009) were poetic studies of themselves and the everyday life.
Like the British Free Cinema movement before them, the poets stressed the idea that “No film can be too personal”. At their first screening at Wolverhampton's Light House Media Centre the artists quoted this often. When Screen West Midlands advertised the exhibition, they referred to it as “Personal, Instinctual & Organic Video Poetry of everyday life”.
Another theme that the Black Country poets focused on was the use of Video and its importance when producing poetry. The groups’ official website reads:
'Iranian Film -maker Abbas Kiarostami famously said
"Digital camcorders allow the artist to work alone again."
We also believe that video allows us as artists to be spontaneous and free to capture the poetic nature before it is lost. Resulting in most of our Video Poetry being shot on small Handycams!
Poetry is usually an encapsulation or expression of the poetic elements in life that tend to go unseen or unappreciated by the average person. It is usually the poets/artists vision and state of mind that is able to see these poetic elements and expose them to them World. This poetry can be captured in a painting, written in literature or in our case, shot in video. Japanese silent filmmaker/director Shimizu Hiroshi once said "If most of the classic poets of old times were around today, I’m sure most of them would replace their pens and papers with cameras." We have more ways of creating poetry now, breaking the limitations of pen and paper and giving the written word true life in video.'
The videos were first screened on the 29th of September 2009 at the Light House Media Centre in Wolverhampton (UK), gaining critical appeal.
The videos are now archived at [http://www.macearchive.org/Media.html?Title=32268# Media Achieve for Central England] (M.A.C.E)

A number of aircraft parts allow the improvement of an aircraft regarding its aerodynamic drag, lift, noise reduction, environmental friendliness, ... These improvements are vital in order to adhering to the new requirements for commercial aviation. Also, some aircraft types such as the Personal air vehicle also require these new technologies to adhere to even stricter requirements. Some of these ideas allow the modification of existing aircraft, while other ideas involve the design of completely new aircrafts.
Airframe enhancements
*Blended wing body designs date from the early postwar era. Research on updated designs is under way at Boeing and Cranfield University
*In addition to blended wing body designs, Flying wing-designs also offer similar benefits and have had interesting new technologies as counter acting airbrakes (folding open both above and under the wing) .
*Lifting body designs are similar to flying wing designs with the difference that is a wing without a conventional fuselage. Some airplanes such as Smartfish are equipped with this design, hereby no longer needing flaps, slats or spoilers.
*Airplanes can also be foreseen with lighter-than-air gases such as helium or hydrogen. These gases may be placed in extra wings, such as with the Bauhaus luftfahrt boxed wing aircraft.
*The AeroVironment SkyTote fixed wing, VTOL aircraft is another type of radical rethinking on aircraft construction. It focuses on building an aircraft that has moderately good VTOL properties as well as the flight advantages of a regular fixed wing aircraft.
*The Peebles Fanwing is a new approach to lift, and is benefiting from investment by the UK and Italian Governments.
*Another radical new aircraft design that is being relooked for the environmental advantage it can bring are flettner airplanes
*L/P Driver is a Lift and Propulsion System being developed by Velarus , providing utility and transport designs with near ground operation similar to helicopters while capable of jet speeds at altitude, including the possibility of supersonic design.
*Solar hot air balloons and solar hot air airships are new types of balloons and airships.
New engine technologies
*The Pratt & Whitney Geared Turbofan which will allow the Fan and LP Turbine to each operate at optimum speed providing increased fuel efficiency and reduced noise.
*Electric airplanes are being developed and tested under projects as the E-flight initiative. Range is still limited with these airplanes though.
*Solar and human powered propulsion-aircraft are being worked on for long duration flight. Aircraft like the Solar Impulse, Helios, Pathfinder and others prove that zero emission fixed wing aircraft are possible, yet translating the concept to larger aircraft is very hard
*Alternative fuels for aircraft have received limited attention. Hydrogen is perhaps the most obvious alternative to existing kerosene/gasoline-type fuels, but the technical and infrastructural challenges inherent in developing a commercially usable hydrogen-powered aircraft are huge. The Russian manufacturer Tupolev built a prototype hydrogen-powered version of the Tu-154 airliner, named the Tu-155, which made its first flight in 1989. In addition, Boeing too has been experimenting with hydrogen (primarily to power auxiliary systems), yet has plans to build a hydrogen-powered jet . Also Boeing's Research & Technology Europe (BR&TE) has made a civilian aircraft made from a 2-seat Dimona motor glider running on a fuel cell. (called Theator Airplane)". Lange Aviation also made a hydrogen-powered airplane with its Antares DLR-H2 airplane.
*For jet engines, Reaction Engines A2 has been proposed to use the thermodynamic properties of liquid hydrogen to achieve very high speed, long distance (antipodal) flight by burning it in a precooled jet engine.
* The SAX-40 is a new aircraft design, developed under the Silent Aircraft Initiative which has been able to reduce noise.
Aerodynamics technologies
* Boundary layer suction has long been a subject of research. The technique works, but has traditionally consumed so much power that it was not worth doing. The necessary internal ducting is another problem. Work continues at TU Delft.
* Aircraft may be foreseen with special fuselages which make advantage of the wing-in-ground effect. The aircraft includes airships, helicopters and airplanes.

this is the complete list of all of the guardian forces and the locations for final fantasy 8.
Quezacotl- at squalls desk at the beginning of the game
Shiva- at squalls desk at the beginning of the game
Ifrit-defeat him in the fire cavern
Siren-after fighting the monster on the radio tower draw from him before he is defeated
Brothers-defeat sacred and Minotaur in the tomb of the unknown king
Diablos-Before going to Timber, talk to headmaster Cid until you get the Magic Lamp. Save the game, use the lamp, and defeat Diablos. Draw and store Demi then cast it. Do not draw and immediately cast, as he will not cast Curaga on your character.
Carbuncle-draw from the statue the attacks Rinoa at the anaguration of the sorceress
Leviathan-draw from NORG after destroying his pod
Pandemona-Draw from Fuijin in the battle with Fuijin and Raijin.
Cerberus-Draw from Cerberus during the Galbadia Garden invasion. He is at the center glowing circle near the entrance.
Alexander-Draw during the boss fight with Edea inside Galbadia Garden.
Doomtrain-Get the Solomon Ring from the Esthar Sorceress Memorial at end of Disc 3. Laguna will have talked about defeating Ultimicia. You need six steel pipes and other items. He will appear without a fight.
Bahamut-Go to the island in lower left corner of the map. Walk only when light is not flashing. Go straight until the message "you have perceived the resonance" appears. Go to opening at flashing object, fight Ruby Dragon (you have no choice). If you are in bad shape, answer "Yeah, there's nothing we can do". If not, answer "Never". With luck, Ruby Dragon will not use its Breath attack, as your characters will die. When you win, select "Cancel", then "Accept". Watch out for Bahamut's Mega Flare.
Cactuar-Use Ragnarok to fly to the island on the outside of a desert; you will see a cactus teleporting around. Walk up to it. Be careful, as its 10,000 needles do 100,000 damage.
Tonberry-Defeat Odin. Then fight 20 Tonberrys at top of elevator or open place, not at torch lit place at its base. You will fight the Tonberry King.
Eden-Draw from Ultima Weapon. Bahamut must have already been defeated. Give one pressure spot all the time you can. If you do not, reset at the first steam pressure spot, put Zell in you party and let him "tinker" with the machine demanding four pressure; you will get away. Since you lose four pressure the first time you reset, it is as if you did not make a mistake (only, a lot of strong monsters will flood the area). Set the Move/Find ability to find the final save spot.
