A film academy should induce comprehensive knowledge of the arts, science and commerce of film making in its students. Confused? Let us explain�
A film maker should have the creativity and eye for the aesthetics of life, must know the technical aspects of film making and have a fair amount of idea about the entertainment industry. So, it is a complete circle and it takes a little bit of everything to make a good film maker and a skilled technician and a great actor. But there are very few such film schools in this country that take this holistic approach towards film education and we are proud of the fact that Asian Academy of Film and Television is one of them.
In 1993, when we started out journey, we wanted to be different from the run of the mill acting schools , who love to cling to the film craft of the past century. At that point of time we had already come a long way, as a country and as a film making nation. So, we planned to start a film academy that could match the standards that of the international film schools . We decided to adopt a �do while learn' methodology. Of course being within a film city and sharing the same campus with a state of the art film studio complemented our objective. Unlike any other acting schools in the country, we provide our students maximum exposure to real �REEL WORLD.' This emphasis on �hands on training' has already proved to be the success mantra for our students.
Haobam Paban Kumar, student of Asian Academy of Film and Television, got the "International Fipresci Critics Jury Award" for his film "AFSPA, 1958" at the Mumbai International Film Festival. His documentary film is about the violations perpetrated by the "Armed Forces Special Powers Act" in Anipurin 2004. His film is also invited for the film festivals to be held at Canada, UK and Korea.
Do you aspire to be the next Paban Kumar? Then come, join AAFT and be one of the thousands of AAFTians, who are successfully working with the eminent directors like,
* Satish Kaushik
* Rakumar Hirani
* Ram Gopal Verma
* Ravi Chopra
* Indra Kumar
* Rohan Sippy
* Anil Sharma
* Kunal Kohli
* Farhan Akhtar
Our film school students are working at television channels like,
* Discovery
* Zee TV
* Sahara
* NDTV
* India TV
* CNBC
* Aaj Tak
* CNN IBN
* BBC
* CHANNEL 7
* CHANNEL V
* MTV
* Ftv
* Doordarshan
* ESPN
* Sun TV
* Star TV
Infrastructure, quality training, opportunity of hands on experience -- these are some of the factors for the outstanding success rate of our film school. These are the reasons that AAFT became the first film school to receive ISO 9001 certification at this part of the world. Being located within the sprawling 100 acres campus of Noida film city, AAFT gets an edge over other acting schools.

You work with documents, presentations, graphics, and other files all day—and chances are, you have a lot of them. And that means it takes time to find the documents you need. Even if it's just a couple of minutes here, and a couple of minutes there, it all adds up.
But there is a better way to stop the file clutter—by managing your files more effectively. Digital files are no different than paper files, and if you don't have a good method of organization, things get lost.
Whether you save your files on your computer's hard drive or a shared network location, these tips will help you save the time and headache of searching for files. And if you haven't already familiarized yourself with the search features in Windows Vista, this is the perfect time to learn more.
Check out the reader tips. We've gotten hundreds of great comments on this article from the content feedback tool at the bottom of the page. And many of you left tips you use to organize and find your files. We updated this article to include some of the tips we received.
Tips for Managing Your Files
Use these tips to help manage your files.
1. Use Documents. For many reasons, it's smart to take advantage of the Documents feature (called My Documents in Windows XP and earlier versions) in Microsoft Windows. To open Documents in Windows, click Start, and then click Documents. Documents provides an easy way for you to store your personal documents.
By using Documents, you will be better able to:
•Find files. Windows provides easy access to the Documents folder (and its subfolders) in many places: through the Start menu, the task pane in Windows Explorer, common File Open and File Save dialog boxes, and other places.
•Back up files. You should back up files regularly—and keeping all your files in one place helps make backup a snap.
•Keep files separate from programs. By separating document files and program files you reduce the risk of accidentally deleting your documents when you install or upgrade programs.
2. Adopt consistent methods for file and folder naming. Develop a naming scheme for the kinds of files you create most often and then stick to it.
3. Keep names short. Even though Windows allows you to use long file names, it does not necessarily mean you should. Long file names are harder to read.
Let your folder structure do some of the naming. For example, rather than create a file called Great American Novel Chapter One First Effort.doc, you can build a structure like:
Image of a folder tree.
4. Separate ongoing and completed work. To keep the Documents folder from becoming too unwieldy, use it only for files you're actively working on. As a result, you can reduce the number of files you need to search through and the amount of data you need to back up. Every month or so, move the files you're no longer working on to a different folder or location, such as a folder on your desktop, a special Archive folder, flash drive, external hard drive, or even on a CD.
5. Store like with like. Restricting folders to a single document type (or predominantly one type) allows you to take advantage of folder templates in Windows Explorer. This makes it easier for you to find files. For example, with all your graphics in a single folder, it's easy to use the Filmstrip view and slide show feature in Windows Explorer to find the right picture for your newsletter.
6. Avoid big folder structures. If you need to put so many subfolders in a folder that you can't see all of them at a glance, consider creating an alphabetic menu.

7. Use shortcuts and shortcut links instead of multiple copies. If you need to get to the same file from multiple locations, don't create copies of the file. Create shortcuts to it instead. To create a shortcut, right-click on the file and click Create Shortcut. You can drop and drag the shortcut to other locations.

Reader Tips
Thanks to all the readers who left their own helpful tips and comments on this article.
1. Use abbreviations. Keep file names short by using common abbreviations, such as "MTG" for meeting or "ACTG" for accounting. This makes the file names more descriptive and you can more easily find files through Search if it's necessary.
2. Use thumbnails. Search through folders in the Thumbnail view. They're easier to see and you can put a picture or clip art on the folder (see how below) so that it's more easily recognizable. For example, a folder that contains information about a product can have a picture of the product—or something else that reminds you of the folder contents.
To view your folder list in Thumbnail view, on the Documents folder, in the toolbar click View and then select Thumbnail.
To put a picture on the folder, right-click the folder and click Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click the Customize tab. In the Folder pictures area, click Choose Picture.
3. Use common names. To make it easier to search for documents, name your files and folders with easily found names, such as model numbers, project names, or the project lead in the title.
4. Don't save unnecessary files. Be selective about the files you keep. You probably don't need to keep them all. With e-mail, for example, you rarely need to keep everything you receive.
5. Use Recent Items. To find a file you just worked on, use Recent Items (called My Recent Documents in XP) in the Start menu.
6. Put Documents on the desktop. Put a shortcut to Documents on the desktop. You can save several clicks of the mouse to get where you want to be sooner.
7. Organize files by dates. Use a date in the document name. Such as jeb100201, which would mean October 2, 2001. This puts all the Jeb materials together and sorted by date.
8. Color code your folders. I have a third party program which allows me to "color" certain folders in Documents that I use every day. This allows me quick access to open or save a document

Meditasi, Rahasia Tenang Dalai Lama
Meskipun di negerinya dilanda kerusuhan, Dalai Lama tetap tenang menghadapinya. Dengan meditasi, pemimpin spiritual Tibet ini tetap berpikir jernih.
Banyak keajaiban yang ditunjukkan Dalai Lama, termasuk kebaikan dan keluhuran budi. Meskipun, pemimpin spiritual rakyat Tibet ini sedang menjalani masa pengasingan.
Apa rahasianya? Jawabannya adalah meditasi. Sebab, meditasi bisa meningkatkan kemampuan seseorang untuk meningkatkan empati dan berbuat kebajikan kepada orang lain.
Demikian kesimpulan berdasarkan hasil penelitian para ilmuwan dari Universitas Wisconsin, Amerika Serikat (AS), yang dipublikasi dalam jurnal ilmiah PloS ONE pekan lalu.
Para peneliti melibatkan 32 responden baik seorang ahli meditasi maupun yang untuk bermeditasi sementara, dengan memasang alat mesin functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). Para responden mendengarkan suara-suara yang didesain bisa mendorong rasa empati, seperti suara iba seorang wanita atau suara positif lainnya, seperti suara tawa bayi, atau suara-suara netral yang biasa dijadikan backsound di restoran.
"Kami ingin melihat bagaimana meditasi bisa mengubah cara pandang seseorang melalui suara-suara emosional," papar ahli ilmu syaraf pada Universitas Wisconsin, Antoine Luth, yang mengembangkan penelitian ini bersama koleganya Richard Davidson.
Ketika responden mendengarkan suara-suara itu, baik kelompok yang sudah berpengalaman maupun yang tidak berpengalaman menunjukkan aktivitas bagian otak yang terkait empati dan emosi selama bermeditasi.
Sementara jika tidak bermeditasi, bagian otak ini kurang menunjukkan aktivitasnya. Suara-suara mengiba membuat rasa empati lebih kuat dibandingkan suara positif maupun netral.
Selain itu, aktivitas otak pada wilayah ini semakin kuat pada responden yang ahli bermeditasi. "Perbedaannya sangat jelas. Kami melihat aktivitas lebih pada bagian otak ini dari orang yang biasa bermeditasi dibandingkan orang yang belum pernah bermeditasi. Hal yang menarik adalah area otak menjadi sangat aktif dan ini penting untuk membangun rasa iba atau haru," ujarnya.
Area otak itu termasuk bagian insula (insular cortex) yang terkait representasi emosi tubuh, pertemuan jaringan otak temporoparietal, yang pada penelitian sebelumnya menunjukkan pengaruh berbeda antara satu orang dengan lainnya. Sebagaimana terdapat dalam rasa mental atau wilayah emosional orang lain.
"Untuk kedua responden ditemukan area otak ini sangat terkait rasa berbagi empati dan emosi. Melalui kombinasi antara dua efek ini, kami mendapatkan catatan lebih dari hasil pengamatan pada ahli meditasi dibandingkan pemula. Area ini pada ahli meditasi sangatlah kuat," tandasnya. (sindo//jri)
