Changes are underway again at the Loudoun Museum in downtown Leesburg, as the organization’s board of trustees recently bid farewell to its executive director and the museum—for now—remains closed.
Board president Michael O’Connor confirmed that Leslie Mazeska, who was named executive director of the organization only last year, was terminated by board action in late June. The museum also remains closed as the board undergoes a “very active process” to get the museum back up and running.
“We [the board of trustees] have been brought into this organization to right a ship that needed to be worked on, and bring the Loudoun Museum up to a standard that this Board of Supervisors and quite frankly the Town of Leesburg would be proud of,” O’Connor said.
“We’ve closed the museum until we have the appropriate staff and until we have a comfort level in the people that are running the organization—that goes for board members and staff,” O’Connor said.
In recent years, with the museum in danger of shuttering, the Board of Supervisors agreed to provide financial support. Last fall, supervisors voted to give the museum $156,000 if they met certain fundraising benchmarks. At that time, Mazeska reported to supervisors that the museum was indeed meeting those benchmarks and expressed excitement over its future, including several events and a new exhibit this year to celebrate its 50thanniversary.
The Loudoun Museum was founded in 1967 and set up first in the 1764 log cabin silversmith shop on Loudoun Street and later expanded to two town-owned buildings along Wirt Street. The museum’s collection includes documents signed by George Washington and James Monroe, as well as letters exchanged between freed slaves writing home from Liberia to their former masters, historic maps, fine arts, photographs, postcards, textiles, furniture and tools.
But even with its current closing, O’Connor said the museum’s future is not in doubt. He said both the board of trustees that was put in place by the Board of Supervisors and the supervisors themselves are “committed to make this successful.” An annual museum budget review with county government is expected to be scheduled shortly, he added.
The Loudoun Museum the way it is structured and operated is a lost cause and is just wasting valuable space in a building that, frankly, the town of Leesburg could house some of its employees or sell at a premium. Did the Supervisors ever ask to see how much the museum raised or did they just take Ms. Mazeska’s word that they were “meeting their fundraising goals?” The County Board is wasting $156,000 on this, when that money could go to better use – -i.e. helping a non profit that helps the needy. It is a static exhibit and most of the collection is stored in one of the county-owned houses on Edwards Ferry Road that is destined for removal for the new courts complex. The only reason the Museum continues to operate (and get rent free from the Town) is due to the political influence of its board members and some of its contributors. That should not be a reason to keep this going and changing staff is not going to make much of a difference because that has been tried before.

Hadley Beauregard's march to 1,000 points may have recently concluded, but she remembers exactly when her journey began.
And no, it didn't start her freshman year.
It started on a warm summer day in 2005.
"I remember being 5 years old and I walked into (Bartlett Gymnasium), eating carrot sticks ... it was 8 a.m., July, NM Basketball Camp, and I sat over on the side wall and watched because my sister (former NM sharpshooter Elena Beauregard) was 9 at the time," Beauregard said after the school feted her accomplishment Friday night. "(Legendary NM coach Pat Murphy) came up and said, 'Why don't you come and dribble with us?' And I was just watching; I was there to watch."
"No kid ever sits at my camp," Murphy added.
"'Come on, let's go.' It didn't matter."
Beauregard, even while holding the flowers she received from her family -- she even received flowers from Lunenburg's seniors in congratulations Friday; a tip of the cap toward Frank Greene -- is rather humble about the mark, as well as what's coming next for her.
Her 24-point effort against the Blue Knights has her entering this week at 1,066 points: four more than Lunenburg native Christine Godin scored while she was under Murphy's tutelage from 1998-2002. Beauregard's next stop -- she sits second all-time in North Middlesex girls' basketball history for scoring -- is Jen Carson's program record 1,142 points.
Seventy-six points to tie. Seventy-seven away from breaking the program record.
With 12 games remaining in the regular season, including some key Mid-Wach C match-ups this week, plus postseason basketball to come for North Middlesex, it's safe to say that if Beauregard remains healthy -- and that sound you heard was Murphy placing an order for human-sized bubble wrap -- and continues to be the prolific scorer that she is, she's not just going to break the program record.
She's going to annihilate it.
Speaking Friday, she wanted to talk more about her teammates than her accomplishment.
"I honestly have had a really good team," she said. "My freshman and sophomore year, I had a very good friend, Brittani LeBlanc, a great basketball player, and I always looked up to her growing up, and honestly I couldn't score 1,000 points without my teammates passing it to me. Maddie (Harrington) passed to me all the time; she gives me great passes to the hoop.
"I couldn't have done it without them, or without Murph. I had a lot of people who supported me growing up, and a lot of people who didn't, so it's really nice to prove the people who supported me right and make it happen for them, but prove the doubters wrong."
"Let's face it: I've been here a long time," Murphy added. "I've been very fortunate with the number of quality kids that I've had. (Beauregard) has obviously worked very hard on her game to get to where she is, but she's just a reflection of every other kid who's here. That's why we've stayed as long as we have.
"The only downside (Friday) was we didn't get the win. But everybody's still here celebrating. That's more important than most anything you can do. You'd love to win every game, but these kids are really good kids, and they like each other.
"I'm really happy that it worked out for her."
Murphy is a modern-day P.T. Barnum -- minus the lions, tigers, and bears -- and the way he orchestrated Beauregard's 1,000-point party has a little story that comes along with it.
Murph and I ran into each other at the Lunenburg-Clinton girls' game a week and a half ago -- he gets to as many opponents' games as possible -- and he asked, "Mr. Sweeney, when will you be coming to see me next?" I had replied that my plan was to see his girls against Quabbin Regional last Wednesday. That game was eventually snowed out.
He had said, "Hadley's close."
Knowing what that meant, I replied, "How far away is she?"
Me: "She has to be in the high 900s, then."
He had that twinkle in his eye that, with nearly three decades of experience should have told me something's up.
So.... how close was she, you ask? Using that conversation as the reference point, I found out when I arrived in Townsend that Beauregard entered the next night's game against St. Bernard's at 997 points, and she hit it with an early layup.
Beauregard scored 30 points against St. B's on her date with destiny, moving her to 1,027 points in her career. She added 15 against Gardner last Tuesday, and that put her at 1,042 entering Friday.
Murphy requested that the game with his alma mater not be stopped, as he wanted to honor her at home. He did that when Beauregard shimmied around Lunenburg's Sarah Blomgren and attacked the hoop with a finger-roll layup for points Nos. 1,043 and 1,044 of her career.
"(St. Bernard's coach Kate Dellechiaie) gave me the ball, so Hadley has the ball she got 1,000 with," he said. "I traded two for one; I gave her two new ones for that one ..."
It's truly hard to believe that only two prior women have scored 1,000 points, given all the basketball talent from Ashby, Townsend, and Pepperell.
"Take (Jess) Veysey. She had 975. Missed her sophomore year. She went to the Centrum with us, and she went on to Dartmouth," he explained. "You had Jenny McGonagle in that group; she had 902. She didn't play a lot as a freshman. You had Mackenzie Farina who played with Elena; she had 920-something. She missed her whole freshman year. You have to play all four years to do it, and you have to play varsity and be productive. Brittani, the same thing: she only had 920-something. As a freshman, she only had 60. Hadley had 140 her freshman year: that's the big difference...."
The other two 1,000-point scorers for NM? Michael Culley from the Class of 1996, and Kyle Gustafson from the Class of 2005, who helped the Patriots win Central Mass. as a junior in 2004.
I ran into Fitchburg High royalty on Thursday night: Paula (Goodchild) Gastonguay, Class of 1990 and a member of the 1990 Central Mass. champion girls' basketball team. She was, as always, cheering on her daughter Samantha and her Oakmont Regional Spartans against Clinton.
I had mentioned Sam during my Thursday Lunchbox show on WPKZ for her field hockey accomplishments during the fall, and Paula waved her over to introduce us. I told Sam that she is definitely her mother's twin, right down to the way she moves into the paint, as well as her jump shot.
Also good to see former Oakmont baseball coach George Lison that same night. Daughter Kylie was only a toddler when dad had the helm of the Spartan Nine.
I know I caught them on an off-night, but if the Monty Tech girls' basketball team plays the rest of the season like they did in the third and fourth quarters against Main South -- shooting lights out and playing crisp defense, and giving 100 percent for 32 minutes -- the Bulldogs can make some solid noise come tournament time, and go pretty far, to boot. I guarantee it.
They are a pretty talented bunch, from Erica Regan in the post, to Ashley Girouard and Emily St. Thomas in the backcourt. Of MT's four seniors, only Sara Dupont really contributes: that means everyone is coming back next November, and woe betide the CAL and Division 4 in March 2019.
Can Scott Malboeuf's team knock off defending Division 4 champion Millis when it counts, though? I don't know, and yes, consider that bulletin board material for the Bulldogs.
Nashoba Regional field hockey coach Jamie Mariani has announced this fall's captains: Jane Bonazolli, Natalie Brown, Erin Mehigan and Chloe Spedden.
Great to see longtime area official Brian Tata working games again. His presence in stripes has been missed.

In a Reiki session (called a healing), the practitioner passes healing energy into the seven major energy points (chakras, pronounced shock-rahs) in the body. These points are located at the top of the head, the face, throat, heart, sternum, naval, and the pubic bone. While passing the energies, the practitioner's hands become very warm. During the process, the practitioner will lightly place their hands on each of these areas so that the healing energies may be sent to each chakra directly. The practitioner will also place their hands on the knees and the feet for additional healing. A complete Reiki session involves passling the healing energies first into the head and then to each chakra, the knees, and the feet, moving down the front of the body and back up, repeating the procedure on the back of the body. For special “trouble” areas, the practitioner may directly address them by placing their hands on these spots for the purpose of passling additional energy where it is most needed. This is always at the discretion of the person being healed. When complete, the person receiving the healing usually feels rested and refreshed.
Reiki energy will pass through clothing so it is not necessary to disrobe for a session unless you are also receiving massage.
If a subject does not want to be touched in any of the areas mentioned above, they simply need tell the practitioner, and they will raise his hands a few inches above that place while continuing the healing. Although Reiki is a hands-on healing, it can be performed without touching the subject at all.
A normal session may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. For subjects with special problems, a healing session can take longer.

Axis Labs has grown its original CBD oil supplement into a full family of CBD products consisting of the original capsules, liquid, and a topical cream. The brand has now taken things even further with another addition to its CBD lineup in CBD Oil For Pets.
The new Axis Labs release is exactly what it sounds like, a liquid CBD oil formula designed to give to your animals. The supplement is very similar to the brand’s regular liquid CBD 500, although the For Pets version has a lighter dose of hemp-derived CBD, at 5mg per half dropper.
Axis Labs directs users to coat their pet’s food with the formula, which should be quite easy as the brand has in fact given it a specific taste. Believe it or not, Axis Labs’ CBD Oil For Pets is actually bacon flavored, to obviously make it more enjoyable for the animal.
You can purchase Axis Labs CBD Oil For Pets now through its website for the same price as the regular CBD 500 at $44.95. An entire 1oz bottle has a total of 250mg of CBD, meaning you’ll get 50 half dropper servings per bottle, each providing 5mg of CBD oil.

The 4th Annual Coffee Cup Revolution happened this past October at Victory Square in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.
I “binned”—scavenging the public waste receptacles from Victory Square going east along Hastings to Granville, then south to Davie, east to Burrard, north to Robson, east to Hamilton and back north to Victory Square again.
It took me two hours to complete the circuit on foot, covering both sides of the street as I moved along. My “take” was not great, 108 cups, which at 5 cents per cup yielded me $5.40. That’s for two hours of steady walking and picking through trash.
Could I make a living doing this? Not the way I went about it, but I did something useful and it was good exercise! I gave the money I made to a friend too sick to walk.
Hypothetically, if I wanted to make minimum wage ($11.35/hr) the cups would have to net me 10 cents each by last year's going rate and 20 cents per cup at this year’s slower pace. I asked some people who had just purchased their traditional morning office perk, if they would pay that. Yes, they said!
For a living wage of $22/hr, a binner like me would have to collect 20-40 cents per cup. Such a high surcharge would be discouraging, but not unreasonable as portrayed in Europe. People there are more motivated to bring their own re-usable cup, which is the custom.
It seems reasonable to levy a 10 to 40 cent surcharge for the “privilege” of tossing a disposable (nay recyclable) coffee cup away, just so another person (a binner) can return it to a recycling centre.
Makes you think, eh? Pause at this thought and see what other recommendations you may come up with.
The 2.6 million so-called “polycoat” paper cups are thrown in the garbage in Vancouver each week. Disposable cups and take-out containers make up about half of the volume of all items collected in public waste bins.
Almost a quarter of litter found loose on the streets is paper beverage cups, such as lids and sleeves. They comprise 63 per cent of industrial, commercial, and institutional garbage. Some numbers!
Cities around the globe are taking action to address single-use item waste. Vancouver is committed to become a zero waste community by 2040.
There is a five-year target to reduce half the amount of disposable cups and take-out containers going to landfill or the incinerator. Ideally all cups are recycled and there are various ways to accomplish this.
Cups should be placed in the blue bins, marked “mixed containers” which are provided at various indoor locations. They are also being introduced at major intersections, to facilitate habits of separating litter into its several useful components.
The province is urged to establish a province-wide surcharge (deposit refund) system for paper cups, as there are for refundable beverage containers (bottles and cans). All members of the Binners’ Project and all who brought cups for cash to Victory Square signed a statement supporting such a system.
Coffee shops, offices, residential and street collection bins can assist with the collection. The Binners’ Project has offered to administer the collection and return of the cups to specialized depots (membership is free and open to anyone).
This seems like a fair system, where the user pays for the service. Most significant is the social impact, the opportunity for low-income earners, many entrenched in deep poverty, to earn some much-needed additional income.
Final remarks: As in previous years, there were three roundtables set up at Victory Square, seating 15 people each.
A good diversity of people ensured that different interests were represented and discussions were lively.
A deposit-refund system, mandatory recycling and education/behaviour change programs can bring about marked improvements for a wasteful society.
Coffee shops are encouraged to provide reusable cups for in-store use and only provide disposable cups upon request. Recycling/composting receptacles will become mandatory on the shop’s premises, although it is expected that many customers will bring their own re-usable cups.
Similar arguments can be brought on to reduce single-use food containers at take-out food kitchens and replace them with reusable containers. Plastic shopping bags are heavily targeted in the strategy: two million are disposed in the garbage each week!
The aim is to supplant a “dispose, recycle, and energy recovery system” with a “reuse, reduce and avoid” model.
Elements that are severely toxic, with high environmental impact—such as Styrofoam—will be eliminated from use in the near future and they already are banned from some venues like the PNE.
A summary report, following the survey, will be presented to Vancouver City Council with recommendations in January 2018.

Till such karma doshas are remedied through parihaaras good days never strike . IT is the duty of astrologer to first FIND out such karma doshas in a horoscope and suggest suitable remedies by POINTING out the DEAVTA concerned and dosha troubling and its exact solution to PLEASE the devata .
These situations issues can be known only through NADI astrology written by SAGES [ not the famous thumb nadi types ] .
After knowing them proper shaap parihaar graha shanti if undertaken , dasha bhukti PHAL in auspicious way start FLOWING .
Role of badhaka graha is very important in such analysis .

More than half the people who clicked on this article will stop reading within 15 seconds.
That's not just speculation: it's statistics. Data from over 2 billion website visits across the internet -- primarily to news and media sites, like this one -- revealed that 55% of people spend less than 15 seconds on the pages that they click on.
For the vast majority of journalists whose articles are intended for more than a few seconds of consumption, this statistic should be startling. But in an increasingly digital age where we're used to getting information in fewer than 140 characters, it seems unlikely to change any time soon.
Accept the fact that more than half of the people who visit our page won't actually read what we have to say.
Adapt to the new ways that people are using technology to get their information, and adjust our content accordingly.
To help grapple with this issue, I recently interviewed two entrepreneurs -- bestselling author Gary Vaynerchuk, and Shaul Olmert, CEO of Playbuzz -- who weigh in on the future of the publishing industry and identify some of the key reasons why adaptation is necessary for survival.
In the digital age, the most significant change in how we consume content boils down to one word: engagement.
Traditionally, journalism is a one-sided relationship: journalists write and readers consume. But as Olmert noted in his breakout session at INBOUND, HubSpot's annual event, technology is blurring the line between communication and content. When we wake up and see notifications on our phone, for instance, news stories are intermixed with texts, emails, and social media updates. As a result, consumers look for engaging content that makes them feel like they're part of a conversation, not a monologue.
"People want to feel like they're interacting with another living being," Olmert remarks. As such, content needs to provide users with interactive material that actively engages them. For instance, Playbuzz's latest format, "Story," draws from Snapchat's popular feature, enabling publishers to presents the content of an article in a series of interactive formats (think polls, flip cards, quizzes), text and visuals. With this format, people spend an average of 3 - 4 minutes per visit -- a number much more encouraging than the abysmal 15 seconds mentioned above.
Traditional digital media outlets are driven by impressions: their goal is to get as many clicks as possible on their articles. But as we can see, having a high clickthrough rate isn't meaningful in the long run if people are spending mere seconds viewing your content.
This misplaced focus on impressions can compromise journalistic integrity: when a writer's success is measured by how many clicks their articles get, they often have to scramble to find trending topics and end up churning out low-quality clickbait in mass quantities.
"In the short term, [this strategy] might get more clicks and generate ad impressions," Olmert notes, "but in the long term, it'll turn your publication into one that values old-school metrics versus more meaningful ones that create a positive user experience, like engagement."
Times are changing, and journalism isn't exempt from this. Vaynerchuk elaborates: "What's happened to the bookstores of the world, what's happening with the taxi drivers of the world -- now, it's happening to the publishing industry, too."
Just like Hilton and Marriott now find themselves struggling to compete with Airbnb, long-standing media behemoths now have to compete with smaller platforms that provide content in ways that are more appealing to the end user.
"Content is absolutely being redefined in today's mobile environment," Vaynerchuk -- who has three of his own independent media hubs in the works -- says of the publishing industry's break away from tradition. "Inevitably, some of the big names today won't be as relevant in the future."
That's why adapting to trends in content creation and consumption is do-or-die for the publishing industry. As the way we engage with our content continues shifting, the conventional article format just won't cut it anymore. Instead of clinging to tradition and watching their readership dwindle, journalists and publishers need to stay on top of the game and tailor their content accordingly so that they're keeping up with the modern consumer.

text: I believe this picture was taken around 13 years ago. Those 2 guys to my left are business partners, praying for a little luck to come their way in the business world. The guy shoving his lips onto the poster for a good luck kiss is my friend Jon Congdon. Less than 10 years before this photo was taken, Jon and I were roommates at a condo in Redondo when we stumbled onto the Barstool Poetry idea. Jon and Carl were introduced by our friend Ben, who lived with Jon next door to me in Manhattan Beach one summer in the '80s after we'd all graduated from UCLA. Turns out Jon's air kiss and Carl's praying—and a whole lotta hard work, I'm sure—paid off a few years later. Another 10 years after this shot was taken, these guys and their company, Beachbody, had unleashed Tony Horton on the world and everybody in America was either doing P90X—or feeling guilty for not trying. I'd like to think I was their lucky rabbit's foot. In fact, it was probably at this very moment that I morphed into the Human Good Luck Charm.

David Hawksworth is a star of Canada’s dining scene. The Vancouver chef’s eponymous restaurant, open since 2011, was named Canada’s Best Restaurant by Maclean's magazine the following year. Since then, Hawksworth, and the restaurant that bears his name, have continued to raise the bar on Canadian dining in terms of cuisine, experience, and social consciousness.
As one of Canada's most renowned chefs and a native Vancouverite, what would you say are the top three West Coast culinary trends for this season? How do Montreal and Vancouver's culinary trends differ?
Three West Coast culinary trends for this season are share plates, great pizza and fresh fish crudos. I am not as familiar with Montreal's culinary scene, but from the few times I have had the pleasure of visiting, I really enjoyed the neighbourhood restaurants and delicious food.
Let's talk about the fight against food waste. When did you first become aware of the importance of reducing food waste? What are some things you and your family do at home in your own kitchen to help reduce waste?
From the first day I worked in a kitchen, I became conscious of how much food waste their is in our industry. Here in Vancouver and in my home it is mandatory to compost all food scraps as well we recycling everything possible.
Success for me would be to do my part in elevating Canada to be recognized as a culinary destination with some of the best restaurants and chefs in the world.
Giving back to the community is a consistent theme in your career. Can you share the inspiration behind some of these recent initiatives (Mealshare, Growing Chefs/ Eat.Give.Grow)?
It is important to me to provide for those who haven't been as fortunate as myself. Growing up in Vancouver, I had the privilege of never going without, but I truly understand that many people in our country, and beyond, don't have this luxury. Some struggle to put food on the table for their families and the importance of fresh produce and nutrition has at times been lost in our society in recent years. It is important for me to lead by example through education, community partnerships and philanthropic work, as I have a platform and voice that I can lend to a wide variety of causes that are really making a difference. Giving back is a huge part of my belief system and I hope to continue my work in this area for years to come.
Educating and supporting emerging chefs is another passion, particularly in regards to the Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship Foundation. Why is this so important to you?
Having spent a lot of my career working in Europe, there were a number of competitions such as the Roux Scholarship that really inspired and offered young chefs the opportunity to learn and gain exposure. When I returned to Canada I realized that our country didn't have anything of this calibre and that is why I set out to create the Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship. It is important to me to provide a platform where young chefs can be exposed and show their talents to some of the best in the country as well as have the opportunity to hone their skills through competition and an international stage.
What have you, the mentor, personally learned from these young talents?
I am always inspired by the courage these young talents have. It is hard enough to compete with their top culinary peers, but having to present to an esteemed panel of judges is also nerve-racking. Their creativity inspires me to always push myself and strive to do more unique dishes in the kitchen.
What can fans expect from your anticipated cooking demo at the Phi Centre?
People will be surprised by the combination of summer ingredients with the versatility of stale bread, and will hopefully think twice before putting it in the garbage.
Watch David Hawksworth in Montreal for his series The Next Course.
Join us May 25 for a culinary demo with David Hawksworth!
Chef Hawksworth will demonstrate his expertise in the kitchen by utilizing stale bread. As a staple of our daily diet, he will educate participants on it’s use in the kitchen beyond it’s normal shelf life. His dishes will include panzanella salad, bruschetta and bread pudding – all cooked with surplus food.

An eclectic discussion of Life, Science, Politics, Religion, and the occasional Bad Pun.
Why I oppose the Miers nomination.
Quarterback takes the snap... receives the handoff on the reverse... and catches the touchdown pass.
You'd think the QB had a busy day, running a couple of gadget plays... except that this was all on the same play.
Sounds like a 1960s sitcom using a split screen to show the actor on-screen twice simultaneously (various episodes of Gilligan's Island and Bewitched come to mind).
What teams occasionally forget about (to the Browns' detriment last night) is that the Steelers have a (relatively short) history of recruiting college QBs and turning them into wide receivers. In the 1990s, they had Kordell "Slash" Stewart. Antwaan Randle El and Hines Ward are the current editions of quarterback-turned-wideout that the Steelers employ.
So the (QB) Maddox-to-(RB) Staley-to-(QB) Randle El-to-(QB) Ward play last night shouldn't come as much of a surprise. It was certainly entertaining (at least to us Steelers fans ;) ). The only thing that would have made it better would be to listen to Myron Cope comment on it.
Kudos also to Hines Ward, who broke John Stallworth's reception record in the game. Maybe I'm biased, being a Steelers fan and all, but Ward's a class act, and you couldn't ask for a better person to break the record of another class act. I can certainly think of worse candidates (a certain loudmouthed suspended Eagle comes to mind).
I jumped out of my couch yelling during that play. I woke my poor kid up. So needless to say, she got to watch most of the second half with daddy.

The Department of Homeland Security is expanding its operations by running unannounced school lockdown drills, another sign of the federal agency’s encroachment into more areas of Americans’ lives.
Image: School lockdown drill (YouTube).
The federal/state “security team” later reported their satisfaction with GRHS Principal Dirk Phillips for activating the school’s lockdown procedure when ordered to do so by DHS officials and police.
“The NJ DOE team told us that of all the schools they have visited, GRHS was one of the best,” said Superintendent Dr. Mucciolo, confirming that the drills are now becoming commonplace throughout the region.
While authorities justify school lockdown drills as necessary exercises to prepare for potential school shootings, the likelihood of one happening is miniscule. Critics have pointed to the fact that the drills achieve little else than traumatizing school children.
Some have also argued that teaching kids to “shelter in place” rather than evacuate the scene of a shooting is bad advice because it is likely to lead to more casualties. The process of having children submit to armed masked men during school lockdown drills is also contradictory in that it teaches them to behave exactly the same way towards an actual gunman.
A much more successful policy would be to eliminate gun free zones (victim disarmament zones) around schools and institute training programs to arm teachers and school staff, but since that would encourage Americans to be responsible for their own safety and not dependent on government, the feds are never going to support it.
Although warnings of Homeland Security being turned into an occupying army have been met with derision by some, that’s exactly what it’s beginning to look like.
Earlier this week, we reported on a SWAT raid in East Williamsburg during which neighbors complained of how they were “utterly confused and frankly terrorized” by DHS snipers pointing flashlight guns at them even though they were situated in a different building.
In addition to the DHS having its own agents increasingly involved in domestic law enforcement activities, the federal agency has poured over $34 billion dollars into local police departments, money which has been used to purchase armored vehicles and other equipment normally reserved for policing occupied countries like Iraq and Afghanistan.
During public testimony at a Concord City Council meeting in New Hampshire last year, Colonel Peter Martino, a former Marine Corps Colonel who was stationed in Fallujah, warned that the DHS’ role in militarizing domestic law enforcement was a disturbing lunge towards martial law.

EU countries coordinate their national economic policies so they can act together when faced with challenges such as economic and financial crises. This coordination has been pushed even further by the 19 countries that have adopted the euro as their currency.
All EU member countries (whether inside or outside the euro) are part of the economic & monetary union (EMU), a framework for economic cooperation designed to promote job creation and sustainable growth, as well as to coordinate our response to global economic and financial challenges.
To forestall major disruptions to the banking system, a number of EU governments came to the rescue of their banks with urgent support on an unprecedented scale. Between 2008 and 2011, €1.6 trillion - equivalent to 13 % of the EU’s annual GDP - was injected into the system through guarantees, or in the form of direct capital.
To preserve the EU's financial stability and resolve tensions in sovereign debt markets in the euro area, the EU also set up a safety net for euro area members in difficulty: the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). Replacing the temporary tools that had existed before, this is the world's largest multilateral financial institution, with an effective lending capacity of up to €500bn.
Between 2011 and 2013, the EU also introduced new, stronger rules (including an international treaty) to keep a tighter check on public debt and deficits – making sure governments don’t spend beyond their means.
tweaking the Excessive Deficit Procedure so it can be triggered not only by a deficit in a given year but also by deeper, underlying developments in government debt.
setting up an annual cycle of economic policy coordination, led by the Commission. Every year it undertakes a detailed analysis of EU governments' economic reform plans and gives them recommendations for the next 12-18 months.
Stricter enforcement of fiscal rules, which include meaningful penalties for euro area countries who breach fiscal rules.
new arrangements for monitoring risky economic imbalances – such as asset bubbles (in house prices, shares, etc.) and weakening competitiveness – and addressing them before they threaten the economic stability of a country, or indeed the whole euro area or EU.
More on the EU's response to the 2008 crisis.
people no longer need to change money when travelling or doing business within the euro area, saving time and transaction costs.
it costs much less (or nothing at all) to make cross-border payments.
consumers and businesses can compare prices more easily, which encourages businesses charging higher prices to bring them down.
Being in the euro area guarantees stable prices. The ECB sets key interest rates at levels designed to keep inflation close to, but below, 2%. It also manages a portion of the euro area’s foreign exchange reserves and can intervene in foreign exchange markets to influence the exchange rate of the euro.
The combined size and strength of the euro area also creates a stronger and more stable currency that is better able to shield its members from external shocks and currency market turbulence, than individual countries alone could achieve.
All EU countries are expected to adopt the euro when their economies are ready – except Denmark and the UK, who have an official opt-out.
Not only does the ECB keep prices stable, it also ensures that euro transfers to recipients in other euro area countries are as cheap as possible for banks and their customers.
For very large sums of money, the ECB and national central banks operate a real-time payments system known as TARGET2. With the launch of TARGET2-Securities in June 2015, securities transactions within Europe will also be settled (more safely and efficiently) on a single platform operated by the Eurosystem (the central banks of the euro area and the ECB).
The ECB and Commission have also been working to extend the benefits of more efficient and cheaper payments to the whole continent – through a single euro payments area (SEPA).
In practice this means that in 34 European countries all euro payments (bank transfers, direct debit, card, etc.) are treated exactly the same, regardless of whether the payment is between parties in the same or different countries.

tired. good tired. no, not that good tired.
But productive. 1700 words productive. And a lot of fun nonsense too. These Wednesday work holidays are screwing up my schedule something amazing.
Remember, you’re not the only one having trouble sticking with their resolutions. This came out 3 years ago.
I always feel like the wrong person to be asked when I get asked that question because people say, ‘Well how do you write such good female characters?’ And I go, ‘Well I write people.’ Approximately half of the people I know are female and they’re cool, and they’re interesting, and so, why wouldn’t I? In the case of making the TARDIS a person, you make her the kind of person you’d like to meet.

The plane crash in downtown Anchorage late last month that killed a pilot making an unsanctioned flight in a Civil Air Patrol aircraft "incinerated" the remains of the plane, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
The NTSB's preliminary report on the crash that killed Doug Demarest, a first lieutenant in the CAP, was released Wednesday. Demarest was the pilot and sole occupant of a Cessna 172 that took off from Merrill Field before its control tower was staffed at about 6 a.m. Dec. 29.
The plane first struck the Brady Building at 1031 W. Fourth Ave., then the Carr-Gottstein Building -- also known as the whale building -- just east of the Brady. No ground injuries were reported in the crash.
Demarest's wife, Kate Demarest, worked at national legal firm Dorsey and Whitney's Anchorage office in the Brady Building. Jahna Lindemuth, a friend of Kate Demarest, later said the crash was an act of suicide.
According to the safety agency's report, witnesses saw Demarest's plane "flying in an easterly direction and very low over the city of Anchorage" moments before it clipped the Brady Building just after 6:15 a.m.
"The airplane's right wing struck the building between the fourth and fifth floors, which severed the entire wing at the fuselage attachment points," NTSB investigators wrote. "The airplane's wreckage continued traveling east while descending into (the Whale Building). It subsequently struck an electrical transformer, and a post-crash fire incinerated the airplane wreckage."
The report didn't include any discussion of potential mechanical factors associated with the crash.
Weather conditions at Merrill Field at 5:53 the morning of the crash included winds from the south at 8 knots with gusts to 18 knots, with 10 statute miles of visibility and a few clouds at 7,000 feet.
The report confirmed previous CAP descriptions of the deadly flight as unauthorized, saying the investigation is now under the "jurisdiction and control" of the Anchorage FBI office.
FBI spokeswoman Staci Feger-Pellessier said Wednesday afternoon the bureau was awaiting several reports, including one from the State Medical Examiner's Office on an autopsy of Demarest's body, before releasing anything further on its investigation.

From media titan Oprah Winfrey to megastar Will Smith, powerful forces in Hollywood are controlling the content that millions across the globe watch in movie theatres, on their laptops, and at home. Not only have they kept audiences riveted to the big and small screens, these members of the entertainment elite have grossed billions for movie studios, television networks, advertisers, distributors, exhibitors, and, of course, themselves.
BLACK ENTERPRISE has developed a strong reputation for identifying superstars in industries ranging from finance and technology to law and medicine. In this issue, we unveil our Top 50 Power Brokers in Hollywood, a roster of extraordinary entertainment professionals and entrepreneurs from the creative and business sides of the industry. These actors, agents, directors, producers, executives, lawyers, and distributors wield considerable power when it comes to green-lighting multimillion-dollar projects or influencing decisions related to theatrical releases, television shows, and other forms of filmed entertainment. What makes this roster all the more extraordinary is that its members have broken barriers in an arena that historically has been inhospitable to African Americans and, at the same time, served as change agents in every nook and cranny of the industry.
Our team of editors and researchers spent several months researching the activities of these superstars: uncovering the cumulative gross box-office receipts of top talent, the Olympian deals completed by Ã¼beragents and master lawyers, and the bottom-line contributions of high-powered execs. On the next few pages, you’ll find out how our Top 50 Power Brokers are changing the script in Hollywood.
Will Smith/James Lassiter. Overbrook Productions. Ages: 38/42. Who on this planet doesn’t know Will Smith? With multiplatinum albums, billion-dollar box-office receipts, and production credits on several blockbusters, Smith is a triple threat in Hollywood. But who is James Lassiter? Many don’t know that he’s the man behind the man. He’s the strategist behind the megastar. “The brains behind the brand!” exclaims Smith, during his exclusive interview with BLACK ENTERPRISE.
Through their prolific production company, Overbrook Entertainment, this dynamic duo produced the recent box-office smash, The Pursuit of Happyness, which at press time grossed $138 million. Released by Columbia Pictures in December 2006, this biopic of Chris Gardner’s ascent from a struggling, homeless father to a successful stock broker opened at No. 1 and remained in the top 10 for five weeks.

The group's 1992 debut album, Lazer Guided Melodies, helped set the standard for the band's subsequent releases, with its rich choruses and clean production aesthetics--a stylistic departure from the drone intensive work Pierce had done with Spacemen 3. Continuing to maintain a druggy, yet intellectually refined sound over its decades long career, Spirtualized has grown into one of the more prolific space rock bands to have maintained a long running career, full of forward thinking album releases and consistent international tours.

Port of Origin: Jacksonville, Fla.
Dawn came on Thursday, April 9, 1942 just like any other day, but for the unescorted Malchace it would be her last, she would sink within a matter of hours. At 0800 hours the Malchace was positioned 45 miles NE of Cape Lookout, traveling north at roughly 11 kts. Her cargo, 3600 tons of soda ash was bound for delivery in New Jersey later that week. Unbeknownst to Captain Arnt Magnusdale of the Malchace ,the U-boat, U-160 had been tracking her and was maneuvering into position for the attack. The first torpedo struck the port side below her waterline, but the impact of the blast was absorbed by the tons of soda ash in the hold. This allowed the Captain and 28 crew members time to radio a distress call and prepare for abandoning the ship. The U-160 waited fifteen minutes after the first blast, to allow the crew time to escape in the lifeboats, then she fired a second torpedo hitting the Malchace port side aft. This blast knocked four men off the deck and one drowned while trying to abandon ship, at the same time it also punctured a hole in the bulkhead causing the engine room to flood, the Malchace sunk two hours later. The survivors were rescued only hours later by the Mexican freighter Faja de Oro, and ultimately boarded a U.S. Coast Guard vessel.
Captain Arnt Magnusdale would experience another sinking, just 7 monthes later his Liberty ship the Jeremiah Wadsworth was struck by 3 torpedoes from the U-boat, U-178. The Wadsworth sank off the the coast of South Africa on November 27, 1942, all 57 crew members were rescued by allied vessels over the course of the following week and returned safely to shore.
On the morning of April 9, 1942, the 3,515 gross ton freighter Malchace was sunk while carrying a cargo of soda ash from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Hopewell, Virginia. The vessel was struck by two torpedoes, which caused it to sink in under an hour. The 28 survivors of the original crew of 29 were landed at Norfolk by the Mexican steamer, Faja de Oro, several hours after the attack.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union is investigating a cyber hack of its diplomatic communications, allegedly by Chinese hackers, that revealed EU concern about U.S. Donald Trump, Russia and Iran, the bloc said on Wednesday.
“The Council Secretariat is aware of allegations regarding a potential leak of sensitive information and is actively investigating the issue,” the body that represents EU governments in Brussels said in a statement.
The Secretariat declined to comment further but said it “takes the security of its facilities, including its IT systems, extremely seriously”, referring to concerns about vulnerabilities in its data systems across 28 EU states.
The New York Times reported late on Tuesday that hackers had broken into the EU’s diplomatic communications for years, downloading cables that showed worries about the Trump administration, struggles to deal with Russia and China, and the threat of Iran reviving its nuclear programme.
More than 1,100 cables were supplied to the Times by security firm Area 1 after it discovered the breach, the newspaper said, adding that Area 1 investigators believed the hackers worked for China’s People’s Liberation Army.
The cables include memorandums of conversations with leaders in Saudi Arabia, Israel and other countries that were shared across the European Union, according to the report.
One cable, the Times said, showed European diplomats describing a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Finland as “successful (at least for Putin)”.
The hackers also infiltrated the networks of the United Nations, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO), and ministries of foreign affairs and finance worldwide, the Times report added.

Ask Rich Gee: Career Questions From Quora.
What is more difficult in the long run, working for a company or running your own business?
Company - you have a boss to keep happy, you have set work hours, you get a regular paycheck, you get a paid location to work at, you get benefits, and you also get jerk bosses, the chance to lose your job instantly, cancelled projects, and frequently depressed coworkers.
Business - you have a clients to keep happy, you have flexible work hours, your paycheck is based on how hard your work and hustle, you get to work at home, you get to pay for your own benefits, and you also get no jerk bosses (but jerk clients), the chance to lose your clients at the drop of a hat, cancelled projects, and you might be frequently depressed.
All kidding aside (but I was telling the truth) - both have their ups and downs, sometimes you feel in control with both, and sometimes you feel out of control with both.
I've done both - 20 years in corporate - 14 years coaching - and both are hard/easy, rewarding/frustrating, but all in all - it's a great ride.
My suggestion? Start a company.
How long does it take to settle in at a new job?
On average - 3-6 months. Not only do you need to meet, develop and hone relationships with key people, you need to learn the whole business - how it works, what are the levers/movers, what are the clients like, etc.
You also need to see how the company reacts to emergencies, slow-time, reactive decisions from management, and industry shifts.
I hate to say 'settle in', because when I'm settled, I'm bored. You need to constantly challenge yourself - do new things, meet new people, etc.
Where on their resumes might long-term unemployed job candidates address their current career gaps?
You didn't sit on the couch all day and watch Jerry Springer. You probably did something - volunteered, side job, etc. Let them know.
Did you try to start a business? Did you do side work (consulting) that you were paid for? Let them know.
If you really didn't do anything for a LONG time and your résumé isn't getting traction, you might say you helped out a sick family member at home - most of the time recruiters might ask a small question, but it's happening more and more every day as our population ages. I know this might be a 'white lie' and a fireable offense - but if you are consistently striking out, you have to do something to change the dynamic.
#3 might rankle some readers — but there are a lot of people who are lost right now looking for a replacement job and they've gone YEARS without employment.
What kind of advice would you give to a 40-something starting a new job where she'll be working alongside 20-somethings?
Listen more than preach. You are not their 'sensei' right now, you just work with them. Also, be patient.
Ask questions. They might know more than you do. And they probably do.
Don't talk about your kids, your injuries, your parents, or any other 40+ year-old concern. 20 year-olds don't care.
Don't try to 'be cool'. Be yourself. Be interested, but be yourself.
Let them make their own mistakes. If they ask you for advice, then you give it to them. Ultimately, they will look to you as their 'sensei' if you do it right.
Try to do things that they do. If they invite you out for drinks, go. If they mention a band, listen to them. If they talk about a movie, check it out.
Compliment them. We tend to forget to do that with our younger counterparts.
Work out, stay in shape, eat healthy, and keep a close eye on your wardrobe style. You don't want to dress like Lou in MadMen. Also keep an eye on your hairstyle.
Look at your glasses style. Too many guys and gals wear really old frames they wore in high school. Get with the program and style up.
Grow an interest in some of the things they might be interested in - music, movies, books, theater, etc. If you show a sincere interest in their passions, they might ask you about yours.
Extra-Credit: Keep up with TECHNOLOGY. I'm 52 and get so angry at people my age who have problems, disregard or disparage simple technology I use easily. YOU LOOK OLD immediately if you have frequent problems with email, the web, your phone (get a smartphone), etc.
Add More Torque To Your Organization.
What’s torque? It’s a measure of the turning force on an object such as the pushing or pulling of a wrench handle connected to a nut or bolt. It produces a torque (turning force) that loosens or tightens the bolt.
Over the past 25 to 30 years, technology has been zipping along the mainframe to desktop route and the entire tech institution has been riding along with it (and profiting greatly from it). Lately, I find as each month progresses, I am using the basics of business and office technology less and less.
Why does everyone hate the iPhone all of a sudden? I have some ideas why.

Julie Slavet is Executive Director of the Tookany/Tacony-Frankford Watershed Partnership, Inc.(TTF). They will be hosting an event with Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods and other books on February 28th. I spoke with Julie about her work and about why Louv’s books appeal to her. I also learned what I can do right in my own yard to help nature!
Nature Talks is the first in our new series of conversations about ways to connect people of all ages to the environment in front of their house or at the end of their block. Most of our work is at a very hands-on level, working with our neighbors to plant trees, install rain gardens, and mark storm drains. We also think and talk a lot about the importance of this work, how we can do it better, and how it can be part of enriching the lives of the people who live in our communities. This event is a tool for us to use both to promote our work and to expand this conversation beyond us and our partners.
What drew you to Richard Louv as a speaker for your event? What about his work compels you and do you feel is in keeping with the TTF mission?
We know that the message of Richard’s book, Last Child in the Woods, resonated with a lot of our partners, including parents, educators and planners, who see the divide between children and the outdoors. We know that most of our constituents don’t have access to vacation homes. The nature that is accessible to their everyday lives is right down the street.
Every day, we see how nature — even in an urban watershed park or creek — sparks a light in people of all ages and engages them to learn more about many topics, including our focus: clean water. We also see how people need to connect with nature to lead healthier lives, especially in our developed urban and suburban communities. We also love Richard’s new book, Vitamin N, because it includes many of the activities we use — and so much more!
And what draws you to your work? What do you find most fulfilling about what you do?
I grew up right near the Charles River in Boston, and we sang how we “loved that dirty water.” I am so proud of the generations of environmentalists who fought to clean up our historic waterways by getting legislation enacted like the Clean Water Act. That’s how the Charles River and Boston Harbor and the Delaware River have gotten cleaner and healthier! Every day, I am inspired and energized by my staff and our funders and partners to keep improving our little piece of the Delaware River Basin and making sure that the federal government keeps its commitment to clean water and healthy environment for our children and grandchildren.
Tell us about the mission of TTF.
Our mission is to improve the health and vitality of our creek and watershed, which includes neighborhoods in North, Northeast, and Northwest Philadelphia and Abington, Cheltenham, and Jenkintown in Montgomery County. We do this by collaborating with our municipalities and leading our communities in education, stewardship, restoration, and advocacy.
Simply said: we connect people to their creeks!
Tell us one or two simple things that someone can do, starting today, to help the environment.
Plant native trees, shrubs, and flowers in your backyard. These plants need less water, absorb rain better, and are habitat for our bugs and birds. We have lots of information on our website. You can also visit Primex Garden Center. Or order a book from Open Book Bookstore! Buy a rain barrel to hold rain back during a storm and use later to wash your car or water plants. If everyone had a rain barrel, we would hold back lots of rain from our stormwater system and reduce the amount of runoff that flows into our creeks with a lot of power every time it rains. This would help with streambank erosion. You can order a rain barrel from us this spring.
And come to Nature Talks! Your ticket supports our work and you can learn more about what you can do to help TTF.

Over the Winter and Spring period I managed to book in shoots with Mandy Havers and Adie Blundell. As in my previous posts it was hard to pin down all the artists I was going to initially target for my project. By securing these shoots, I had brought my total up to five subjects in total, including Alison Lambert who was the subject of my original Zero Project film. I was happy with my list as these are the most of the artists who sit on the Canal Warehouse Trust board, so they could talk about how the warehouse in depth.
Approaching the films, I took the experience and knowledge I had gained from filming my other projects on the course and added to it by researching more about artist documentaries. The BBC had produced an interesting documentary series called ‘Handmade’, that studied a series of items being made, including a glass jug, a steel knife and a Windsor chair. These films looked at the creation of the items rather than the artists/master craftsman making the piece, something I hadn’t considered for my film. The films were made in the Cinema verite style with little to no words being spoken throughout each of the 29-minute episodes. The difference in my approach would be using the free hand camera style as opposed to the almost choreographed shots used by the filmmakers.
These films did make me consider if the artworks or the artists were my actual subjects in my films. I concluded that because some of the artists were working on more than one piece at one time that the person should be the focus of the film, although I wasn’t going to completely restrict myself to this so I could look at exploring the relationship between the subjects, their works and the environmental influences from the warehouse/studio.
To be as consistent as possible, I planned to approach the short films in the same manner as the Zero Project, with a single camera with two prime lens options, 50mm and a 24mm wide to allow for cramped spaces. This also allowed me to film with both the ambient light of the studios, due to their fast apertures, and with a shallow depth of field to allow for a more creative shot selection. The drawback of shooting using a shallow depth of field and in free hand is that I would potentially lose shots if I had to try to focus and keep subjects framed. To allow for this I planned to shoot each artist working for around an hour so I would have enough footage to allow for missed shots. I also included an on-camera microphone instead of using a radio mic on the subject as I thought having a clip mic and belt pack on the artist might make them feel more conscious to my presence, although I was shoving a camera in their face which could be a bit off-putting!
The order that I filmed the artist in was John Yeadon, Alan Dyer, Mandy Havers and Adie Blundell. My initial post about filming John can be read here.
I structured each shoot to start with the interview, which ran for about 25 minutes, then filmed the artists working switching between the camera and the 360 cameras. The benefit of using the 360 cameras was I had to leave the room whilst they were filming giving the artists a short break from me being in the space with them. Shooting the interviews first also got them out of the way as not to distract the artists whilst they worked as a couple were a little nervous about the interview, but more about that later.
Filming each individual artist was extremely interesting. They all were working with different mediums and material. John was working on a large 8ft canvas with acrylic paints, Alan was working on a 4ft canvas using chalks, inks, paint and charcoal, Mandy was stitching with leather and felt and Adie was producing 2ft lino prints.
Each studio reflected elements of each artists’ personality in appearance and I wanted to make sure that translated in to the films by capturing the items around the spaces and not just the people.
Each artist responded differently to my presence in the space, some of them ignoring me completely and some addressing me and the camera directly almost in narration to their working methods. This led to me at times engaging with them with a response, although I did try to keep this to a minimum as not to influence their work. Subsequently, Alan, who was working using a method of subconscious painting, said that having my presence in the room actually gave him enough of a distraction that it allowed him to be less conscious of his work and more productive than usual. I’m sure he has probably written a paper on the experience already!
All the shoots for the films went well without any mishaps or complaints from the artists. the next stage was to start to edit the films.
Editing took place several months after filming took place. I would like to say that this was a deliberate decision, but with having a newborn child, full time work and a building project for a new venture, the whole project was put on hold until term had finished for the undergraduates at the University and the Media Loan Shop had gone quiet for the summer.
I had a few technical issues to try to overcome to start the editing process. Because of my commitments mentioned above I had to use a laptop to work in the evenings and weekends when life allowed it. Because I had shot in 4K resolution on the GH5 camera, not the GH4 as per the Zero Project, my laptop and iMac struggled to even open the files. To try to work round this I converted a few test file into proxy files, a process that reduces the resolution of files to edit with and then links them to the full resolution files for final export. My tests files took quite a while to prepare to edit with and so I made a call that because I had such a huge number of files from my multiple shoots that I would try another route for editing. I was able to secure on one of the specialist 21st Century Media laptops after my group had finished their last module. Luckily for me the computer was of a high enough specification that with setting Adobe Premier to use the full allocation of RAM and a software update to stop it crashing every few minutes, I was able to open and edit my files.
To get into the mindset of editing the films, I worked sequentially through the artists in stages, firstly putting all the good and interesting clips onto the timeline for each one, secondly putting a rough cut together of the film by culling clips that didn’t work or added no additional interest to the film, then lastly refining the edit, trimming clips down as to pace them with each other. As I did the first stage for each artist in order, this allowed time for me to come back to each film after a short time with fresh eyes.
Some of the rough cuts for the films were initially over 10 minutes long but by leaving them and coming back at a later date I trimmed and cut clips to reduce the films down by 4 or 5 minutes making for a better paced edit. Some clips were tough to cut down, in particular one of Adie Blundell who was addressing the camera about the particular technique he was using and went one to talk about an artist who was using the same process. The whole clip was running at about 4 minutes and was far too long for the film feel of the film, in addition there were some camera movements and re-framing as he moved around that didn’t look good on screen . In the end I had to make a tight cut to include the main point Adie was making mid sentence which affected the existing tempo of the piece.
At each stage of the editing process I had to render out the film, a process that took around 30 minutes each time. If I didn’t do this then the playback of the film stuttered and I couldn’t finalise the edits being made.
Whilst I was editing the films, I caught an episode of the BBC documentary Imagine… This particular episode looked at the artist Tacita Dean and her record setting three simultaneous shows at three different London galleries. She is a multi-format artist, but works with film. One of her films drew my attention as it was working in a similar style to how my films were starting to evolve into. The film ‘Michael Hamburger’ made in 2007 is a study of the elderly translator and poet who has taken on the task of saving rare varieties of apples. I took great confidence in the direction my films were taking from the small section of her film.
When setting up the the GH5 camera, I selected a shooting profile that flattened the colours in the camera files creating a wide dynamic range to be captured. This is something that is regularly done in films when using modern digital camera. The colours are then corrected in the post production process. Adobe Premier has a section for colour correction that allows different film presets to be added as well as curve and contrast controls. A new technique I researched and implemented was to take a still from the film and to import it into Adobe Photoshop. I do a lot of photographic editing and thought that I would use my strength in knowledge of Photoshop and apply them to my films. I used a non destructive editing technique that exported the corrections I made in Photoshop and applied them as an adjustment layer on a separate video channel above the clips in the project, dragging it to cover the whole piece. Once the project was rendered, it applied the changes to the clips across the whole project. If needed, the settings could be altered in the adjustment layer via the effects panel and re-rendered to apply them. I added sharpening to the video to give the films a nice crisp look. The colours were adjusted to give additional depth and counteract the flat camera profile. I was conscious when making any adjustment as not to change the colours of the artist’s work beyond recognition, but to improve it sympathetically to improve the look of the overall films. Once I had the adjustment layer nailed down for John’s film, I applied it across all the films and interview pieces to give the same pallet for the whole project. I made minor adjustments to the levels on each film if needed any.
Below are samples of the images before colour correction took place.
In the image below you can see the adjustment layer has been applied in Adobe Premier. The colour pallet has improved significantly from the samples above.
In the image below you can see the sharpening is being applied to the film via the effects panel in Adobe Premier.
Whilst filming, I monitored the sound recording with both headphones and watching the meters on the camera. I used an external Sure VP83 on board rifle mic that gave excellent quality and good signal levels. When I came to edit the sound for the films I only had to make a couple of minor level adjustments on individual clips. There was a lot of ambient background noise caused by fan heaters used in the studios because of the cold weather at the time of filming. I did delete the soundtrack on a couple of clips by un-linking them from the video file to combat this and extended the audio tracks from either the preceding or following clips to cover the deleted audio. This was a benefit of shooting long continuous clips and using the audio from the files as a traditional wild track. I didn’t enhance any of the audio tracks for the films with reverb as I thought that the mic gave a good sense of spatial awareness.
Being an online documentary, I couldn’t use my files in the maximum 4K resolution. You have to be mindful of what platform the project would be viewed on and the connection speed of the device to the internet. Having massive files could leave a potential viewer waiting for an age for the file to download in able to playback a video. If like most humans you have better things to do, you would simply give up and not continue to watch the rest of the project. To improve the speed of downloads and to balance the required playback resolution of the viewing screen, the nice people at Klynt have published a guide to the best settings to export you films and audio at. Below is a copy of the information.
Each individual film would have to be exported to meet the requirements above. To do this I had to modify the settings in the export media window in Adobe Premier.
As you can see from the screen grab above there are various sliders and panels that you can enter the exact bit-rates and file formats needed to meet the required export settings for Klynt. I had the bright idea to save the settings as preset to make my life easier for exporting all the file exports needed for the complete project. Also, if at any point in the future I wanted to re-edit my films and export at a higher quality, for instance to meet any improvement in technology or to cut the film as a traditional documentary for broadcast, because I filmed everything for the project in 4K resolution, I can export the using the same process in Adobe Premier.
At this point I had completed four new films for Alan Dyer, John Yeadon and Mandy Havers. The films were all exported and individually saved as separate files ready for inclusion in the Klynt site build.
To add to these films I had to make some modifications to the original Zero Project film of Alison Lambert. I dug out my archived hard drive to find the Adobe Premier project file of the film but couldn’t locate it. This was very strange as I had all the source files and the exported finished films on the drive. I can only think that the project file was stored in a buried sub-folder on my old iMac at work that had been switched for a new one and I hadn’t back it up at the time. This was a lesson learned as I made duplicates of all my working project files for the documentary. I was able to import one of the finished versions of the film into Premier as a single file. This allowed me to add the adjustment layer to Alison’s film to colour correct it to fit in with the other films. It was quite interesting to see the results of using the adjustment layer as I had previously used a colour grade preset on the film. The film looked a lot better and had more depth to it. As with the other films, I re-exported it to the Klynt settings ready for the build.
