A local real estate salesman brings out a monthly 4 page pamphlet called Your Greater Keswick
News, Views & Things To Muse. I alway find it an interesting read. see the picture and try to read it.
The name chosen for this phenamenone; 'Cambridge University effect' does not refer to any true research project conducted at the University of Cambridge. It is not known why the author who wrote the above paragraph chose the name 'Cambridge University effect', but the name has stuck. Becoming somewhat of an urban legend since its appearance in 2003, the text of this phenomenon has been translated into many languages including; Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, Finnish, Icelandic, Portuguese, Swedish and Hebrew.
I've long enjoyed articles like that. I've seen several variations of it over the years, but not this one, so thanks for passing it along :-)
When our girls were young we had a children's book called CDB. It was a picture book with "words" that were only letters, numbers and symbols. For example, two children are playing, and a bee flies by. One says to the other, "C D B?" The second one replied, "S I C D B." Every time I see this sort of article, I am reminded of that book. Wish we still had it, but it was given away years ago.
What a great shot and info about this subject, Bruni. I have received e-mails like this and I can always read them and read this. I guess I am in the 55 out of 100 also. I am amazed that this is so easy to read. Does make one wonder about spelling and our English language.
@bruni I would think that you can translate it into German on your computer. Are you more comfortable with German? My Dad was German but only spoke it when asleep and with my Grandmother.
@darsphotos It's not that I'm more comfortable with German not really I find the English language is so much easier but thought I wonder how good they translate it and what it would sound like. you know I was born in Hamburg Germany and immigrated in 1955..so lived here more than half of my life and Canada is home..
@bruni It's no trouble Bruni! Here's how it was first posted: open a new paint folder and save it as a jpg (that is save the blank page as if it's a picture). Then upload the blank jpg to Picnik, choose your texture and apply. Then save the texture as if it is a completed picture in your computer (or however you save your photos). When in Picmonkey you can choose to upload your own texture. In my bridge shot here I'd saved the arrow texture from Picnik. I uploaded the bridge shot, did my sharpening and saturation adjustments and then went into the texture menu and selected "Your Own", the menu will then prompt you to browse for your texture in your photos. Choose the one you've saved from Picnik and click on "upload my texture" You can then adjust the blend mode if you want to. When you've got the picture looking the way you want it to, then click on "apply". You can then add a frame or do other editing before you save the final picture.
I was not able to open a new paint folder and save it as a jpg in my computer. So what I did was I went into the program that allows me to scan pictures. I then put a blank piece of white paper on the scanner and scanned that. I shrunk the size to a 4x6 photo and then saved it as a jpg. Then I uploaded the blank scan to Picnik as if it was a photo and went in to Texture, choose one to apply, applied it and then saved it as if it was a picture. And so on.
I hope that makes sense! It's a bit wordy, but the main thing that you want to do is have a blank for a picture that you can apply the texture to so that you can save into your computer. Now that I've got a bunch of them, I'm probably going to dump them onto a CD and only upload them when I want to use them. I can't see having 20 textures taking up all that space! Hope that helps!
Looks like the work of the average "social network" pracipant in today's "post-literate" era. Cloud be wrose tough; mghit be txtsed, and well problby lok bakc on it one day vrey sono as an expmal of gode rioting!!

My wife love me to do Picasa, so she knows where to find me.
