Field Projects: Community Based Conservation
Vaquita Conservation Through Fisheries Education
Extinction of the vaquita, the world's most critically endangered marine mammal, is imminent without the immediate elimination of illegal fishing and removal of deadly gillnets from the vaquita's environment. The rarest porpoise in the world, the vaquita is found in the head of the Upper Gulf of California, just a few hours from The Living Desert. Despite the heroic efforts of the Mexican government to protect vaquitas, the animals are continuing to die at an alarming rate in illegal gillnets used to fish for a large endangered fish, the totoaba. There are fewer than 30 vaquita remaining.
The Living Desert's Director of Conservation, Dr. James Danoff-Burg, serves as the Program Leader of the Vaquita CPR effort on behalf of all AZA organizations. The Living Desert has been involved in vaquita conservation efforts since 2011.
Black Mamba Anti-Poaching Unit
In early 2018, The Living Desert led a team of researchers from California State University San Marcos and the Helping Rhinos organization to South Africa to evaluate the social impact of what has become one of the bright points of light in conservation: The all-female Black Mambas Anti-Poaching Unit. The Mambas work in the Greater Kruger National Park ecosystem, and specifically in Balule Game Reserve.
This intrepid group of women has reduced poaching of the protected large mammals in the 200 square mile (52,000 hectares) corner of Africa they patrol. They do this while unarmed and female, in a society that is so gendered that they are viewed suspiciously if they drive a car, learn how to read, or wear military fatigues, let alone dare to tell men not to kill Africa's endangered wildlife. Given that all of these are essential attributes of being a Black Mamba, these women have forged many new paths to the future of conservation on this continent.
The Living Desert team has partnered with the Black Mambas on research projects and financial programs to support their valiant conservation efforts.
Wild Nature Institute
Africa's great giants are at risk. Giraffes, elephants, and rhinoceroses play critical ecological roles in the places where they live, but their numbers are plummeting because of human-related conflicts. Tanzania provides some of the last best natural habitat for these mega-herbivores but animals are so often killed by poachers for meat, ivory, and horn, or by farmers seeking to protect their crops, that populations are threatened even within protected areas. Successful conservation of Africa's giants requires support from Africans living alongside giraffes, elephants, and rhinoceros, as well as people around the world who care about the survival of these species and their habitats.
The goal of the Wild Nature Institute's (WNI) Celebrating Africa's Giants project is to use environmental education to build community support for conservation efforts that will ensure their long-term survival. Environmental education is one of the best tools for developing meaningful conservation awareness and action – it empowers people to learn about issues and engage in problem solving actions to improve the environment.
The Living Desert is a partner and financial supporter of the Wild Nature Institute and its environmental education programs in Tanzania that are creating value and awareness. We also work with the Wild Nature Institute across Tanzania to improve the Maasai Mobile Education program in progress and are working with them to develop curriculum that can be used locally.

Desert Tortoise Adoption Program
The Living Desert, in partnership with the regional California Turtle and Tortoise Club, coordinates the Desert Tortoise Adoption Program for the California Department of Game and Fish in Southeastern California. This program's objective is to stop the illegal collection of tortoises in the wild and to prevent the release to the wild of disease-carrying tortoises.

Buying a new home comes with a huge array of emotions. One minute you're excited beyond belief and the next you're incredibly stressed. Moving into a new home means you have a lot of work to do. Depending on the new house, you may need to set time aside to clean, paint, and/or organize. It can become a bit overwhelming.
On the bright side, there will never be a better time to get your new home in pristine condition. It's a great idea to make sure the place is fresh, clean, and sanitized from the start.
Having your carpets cleaned before you move furniture in is a great choice for a number of reasons. For starters, it is much easier to clean when you don't have to maneuver around different pieces of furniture. This also means that you can be sure that every part of your carpet is being thoroughly cleaned.
No matter how it looks, you can never be sure of how the previous owners maintained the carpet. While they probably had the carpets cleaned, you can't be sure – and you definitely don't know if they did a good job of it. If carpet cleaning is done lazily or the wrong way, it can often make the carpets more unhealthy than before.
Before you lay down on your fresh carpet in your new home, be sure the carpet is sanitized and free of dirt, germs, and other bacteria. Seek the absolute assurance that comes with Chem-Dry's carpet cleaning.
The best part of cleaning the carpets is that it's one thing you don't need to handle yourself. Have us swing by for a couple hours and have clean, dry carpets before the end of the day! Let us take some of the stress off while allowing you to be much more comfortable in your new living space.
Start your new life off the right way with beautiful, fresh carpets – you won't regret it!

Four-Time Oscar Nominee Bo Welch Now In Emmy Conversation For "A Series of Unfortunate Events"

Netflix show continues his fruitful collaboration over the years with director/showrunner Barry Sonnenfeld
Robert Goldrich, The Road To Emmy Series, Part 8
For A Series of Unfortunate Events, Bo Welch has the good fortune to continue his collaborative relationship with showrunner/director/EP Barry Sonnenfeld. Welch has served in two capacities on the show--production designer on all the work and director of select episodes.
Based on the internationally best-selling series of books, Netflix's darkly comedic mystery recounts the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans--Violet, Klaus, and Sunny--and their extraordinary encounters with the devious Count Olaf (portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris) who will stop at nothing to get his hands on their inheritance.
In addition to their ongoing combined efforts on A Series of Unfortunate Events, production designer Welch and director Sonnenfeld have teamed on a mix of TV and feature fare over the years, including the series pilot for The Tick and movies such as Wild Wild West as well as Men in Black and its two sequels. Welch earned one of his four career Art Direction-Set Decoration Oscar nominations for Men in Black; the other three coming for director Mike Nichols' The Birdcage, Alfonso Cuaron's A Little Princess, and Steven Spielberg's The Color Purple. Welch served as production designer on Men in Black, The Birdcage and A Little Princess. He was art director on The Color Purple.
In some respects, A Series of Unfortunate Events parallels Welch's feature film exploits but in a condensed framework. "For season two, we did 10 episodes covering five of the books," related Welch. "I had to sit down and, as quickly as I could, design 10 hours of filmed entertainment. It's like designing five movies but like in a month. You sit down, absorb the material, start designing and drawing to get that work out to the art department to turn it into construction documents and figure out where things fit. The beauty of this show is that it's all on stage. But that also creates a logistical puzzle of incredible magnitude. We shoot an hour episode every 13 days. We build, shoot, tear down sometimes the next day to then build the next wave of sets for the next book. It's made possible because I've worked with Barry for 20 years. We have an understanding, a shared aesthetic. I know his camera language--his choice of lenses, his moves. I know what things should look like as I read the material. The logistics of cranking out all these sets for what I would consider five movies which we shoot over a few months is refreshing, challenging, exhausting and ultimately very gratifying."
And then there's the directorial mantle of responsibility which in season two had Welch directing two episodes based on "The Ersatz Elevator," the sixth novel in the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" books. "Doing production design and directing for a series is tricky," shared Welch. "I first have to get my day job done before I'm allowed to do the other job of directing. Part of the appeal of production designing this material is being able to lose yourself in a parallel reality, an alternate reality you create. When you design it, you can get lost in it. Then when you direct, you get more deeply lost in this parallel reality. I love being lost in what has sprung from your imagination."
At the same time, realizing one's imagination requires practical considerations. "With set construction, we only build what you need to tell the story," said Welch. "Every molecule that we build on stage is there to tell the story and support the characters. That's nothing new to me. What I've learned that's new due to A Series of Unfortunate Events is how to be fast in building these worlds, and how much a really good production can crank out in a relatively short amount of time."
Sonnenfeld
As for how he initially connected with Sonnenfeld, Welch recollected, "He first called me about the first Addams Family movie, which was years before Men in Black. I wasn't available then but thankfully he called me again for Men in Black. He probably phoned me to begin with because I did Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, the Tim Burton movies, which showed that I bring a different perspective to how things should look. When I read Men in Black, what I was seeing blew my mind and from there our relationship just took off."
Welch said of Sonnenfeld, "I love his sense of humor, his aesthetic sense, how direct and graphic his movies are. He's one of the hardest working people I've ever met. His work habits are insane and that trickles down to the guy who holds the doors open for craft services to come in. He's a leader who elevates everyone around him."
Welch's work is clearly at an elevated level. Earlier this year he earned his third career Art Directors Guild Excellence in Production Design Award nomination--for the A Series of Unfortunate Events episodes "The Bad Beginning: Part One," "The Reptile Room: Part One" and "The Wide Window: Part One." Welch's prior two nominations came for Men in Black in 1998 and The Birdcage in 1997.
Additionally, Welch won the Best Production Design BAFTA Film Award in 1992 for Edward Scissorhands.
This is the eighth installment in a 15-part series that explores the field of Emmy contenders, and then nominees spanning such disciplines as directing, cinematography, producing, editing, music, production design and visual effects. The series will then be followed up by coverage of the Creative Arts Emmys ceremonies on September 8 and 9, and the primetime Emmy Awards live telecast on September 17.

Mervyn was born on the 5th of May, 1887 in Vernon, Utah Territory. His grandfather had immigrated to Utah from Wales with Mormon pioneers and he had established cattle operations near Taylorsville. When Mervyn received his acceptance to the US Naval Academy, he was living in Idaho and went on to graduate from the Academy third in his class in 1910. Mevyn's younger brother Howard graduated first in his class from the US Military Academy in 1912.
For conspicuous devotion to duty, extraordinary courage, and complete disregard of his own life, above and beyond the call of duty, during the attack on the Fleet in Pearl Harbor, by Japanese forces on 7 December 1941. As Commanding Officer of the USS West Virginia, after being mortally wounded, Capt. Bennion evidenced apparent concern only in fighting and saving his ship, and strongly protested against being carried from the bridge.
Mervyn's posthumous Medal of Honor was presented to his wife, Louise, and she christened a US destroyer on the 4th of July 1943 in his honor. Mervyn Sharp Bennion is buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery; West 2 148 1 Cent.

Filmmaker Forum > Main > Filmmakers > Glad to be here!
A bit about me: I'm currently 28 years old. I was born in Mass. but my Mom moved me and my younger brother to LaLaLand at a young age so she could pursue being an actress. She had a short lived career but a few grand highlights. My first taste of cinema came from watching "The Red Balloon" on a projector when I was 4 or 5. I remember being so fascinated by the moving images and swept away into the visuals. I might as well have had the balloon in my hand because thats how real it was for me. It carried on through Disney movies on VHS and then when I got a little older, some more weighty films. The second I got my hands on a camcorder for the first time I would shoot anything I could. I'd use my toys as actors if no one was around. Fast forward some years to when I learned what it REALLY costs to make a movie. Not to mention the cost of a quality film school, and let me tell you, at that time, my bubble had burst. I spent the next decade working one mindless and loveless job after another.
Yet, here I am. My love for everything cinema never died, it just got swept under the rug for a bit. Once I saw the advances of digital technology and the possibilties of making a digital film that could rival actual film for a fraction of the cost, I knew what I was suppose to do with the rest of my life. So, yes. Here I am.
I'm going to post in some other topics for appropriate resources but, I wanted to give a heads up to anyone trying to get into the business from the ground up. Ultimately, I'm looking for people with pretty much no experience, who feel like they have talent to succeed in the industry but, just haven't had the opportunity presented to them yet. Well, opportunity is knocking. Open the door.

Sub Saharan Africa is home to dozens of internationally respected agricultural research institutions majority who have their head offices in the region. Since their establishment they have come up with thousands of new innovations and superior, stress free crop varieties as they seek to position the region as an agricultural supply station for the world.
However even with the rich bank of such innovation, statistics paint a grim picture of a yawning difference between these world class innovations and their actual use by especially the smallholder farmers. Infact numerous statistics show that less than five percent of the region's farmers actually have information or are actually using these new varieties.
This even as over 20 million Africans teeter at the brink of hunger and death. So where exactly is the disconnect?
While many factors and theories have been advanced, lack of the right channels to disseminate relevant and timely information to the farmers right into the grassroots stand as the chief culprit.
Governments have been totally drained in the number of extension services that were once the magic bullet in addressing crop production problems. Currently one extension officer serves approximately 1,000 farmers. Extension officers, seen as governments' point of contact with the farmers, have traditionally been hailed for playing the all crucial role of giving farmers personalized advice on the best farming methods, the best crop for a particular climate, soil and market information. Now knowing how crucial this role is in addressing the perennial food shortage, interventions to farmers cannot is a matter of when and not if.
Land is dwindling as real estate and other natural resources compete, population is growing at unprecedented level and taking the toil on the limited land. Farmers are still using the same old farming techniques to feed a burgeoning population. It is not rocket science why we are not producing enough. That is why change starting with land optimization and growing crops that occupy little space but yield more is our top priority.
Timely delivery of information to farmers matter now more than ever. A single piece of information is enough to trigger a whole set of mind shift in our farmers' daily farming operations.
The government on its own cannot bridge the yawning information gap as numerous activities compete for its attention. The onus is now on the private sector to stand up and be counted especially in moving the tonnes of research from labs to farms if the region is to remain hunger free and spur a renaissance.


I had an entire post planned for this week, fully written and ready to roll. But then something happened on Monday that made me shift gears entirely.
When I was in college, there was a massive snowstorm that shut down my campus for more than a week. You may remember it: the Blizzard of 2010, more colloquially dubbed "Snowmageddon." Class was cancelled, the ten minute walk to the dining hall turned into a forty minute arctic trek because the drifts were so deep, and my roommates and I built a snowman so large that it took until nearly May to melt.
Unfortunately, I had to be home the weekend after the storm for something incredibly important, which couldn't be cancelled or postponed. Ironically, I can't even remember what it was. What I do remember is that I didn't have a shovel.
The week dwindled on and the plows eventually made their way through the student parking lot. They cleared the roads, but buried my car even deeper. It became apparent that I was going to need to acquire a shovel, stat.
The intelligent thing to do would have been to text my friends, put out a call on Facebook, or go door-to-door in our dorm and see if anyone had a spare shovel they could've loaned me. Even more easily, I could have emailed campus maintenance to ask if they could help me out. But I have always – quite irrationally – hated asking for help. I didn't want to bother my classmates or inconvenience our overwhelmed grounds crew.
Instead, in what has to be the most "college" move of all-time – I tried to dig out my car with a beer pitcher. A FREAKING BEER PITCHER. To compound the hilarity of this idiotic maneuver, I don't even drink beer, and never have.
The point of this first story isn't that College Jenny was a moron, though I suppose there's some merit to that. Rather, it's to illustrate just how deeply I loathe asking for help and the insane lengths I'll go to in order to avoid doing it.
Fast forward eight years, and I still hate asking for help. I despise the idea of putting anyone out, and constantly feel like I owe people for even the smallest of favors. My best friend jokes that it took her more than a decade to convince me to not have a panic attack if she occasionally picks up the check. I'm great at collaborating in a professional setting and know when to ask for help on the job. I'm even better at asking for help on behalf of other people (I'm a professional fundraiser!). But when it comes to something I personally need – hard pass.
Nonetheless, just this past Monday, after a series of escalating issues with my car, and several months of repeat trips to the shop to try and address the problems, I sucked it up and asked for advice from people on Facebook. Less than five minutes later, more than half-a-dozen people had messaged or texted. Not only did they offer incredibly helpful suggestions, but confirmed appointments and loaner vehicles if needed. Their responsiveness blew my mind!
The more I thought about how readily people offered their assistance, the more warm-and-fuzzy I felt. This reaction seemed a far cry from my shovel-free Snowmageddon strategy. While I'd like to claim that it's because I've matured since college, the truth is more significant than either rationale.
Asking for help restored my faith in humanity.
The Internet – and more specifically, social media – which are often such ugly places, can also be incredibly powerful tools for good. A very frustrating situation with my car turned into the highlight of my day, because people were willing to help me resolve it. Instead of being dejected, I felt hopeful. Instead of being angry, I was joyful. Instead of complaining, I am writing this post to tell you to take heart!
I don't know about you, but I like to help people. I may not always have the knowledge or capacity to help. But I like making a difference as often as I can, even if it's small, and even if it's on behalf of a stranger on the Internet. Often I "get" just as much as I "give," and I think that many of us feel the same way.
To be clear – I'm not suggesting that when you encounter a problem, your first reaction should always be to ask for help. Self-reliance, resourcefulness, and creative problem-solving are important skills to hone.
But when you run into a snowdrift, ask for a damn shovel.
Study after study has proven that asking for help actually makes people like you more. I can tell you from first-hand experience that it's usually more cost-effective and efficient. And as I mentioned above, people often even enjoy helping. But none of these are the biggest reason why you should do it.
Ask for help. It will prove to you, over and over and over again, that there are remarkably good people in this world.
They are rarely the people who wind up trending on Twitter or on the 6pm news. But I promise you – they exist, and they are everywhere.
So the next time you're dealing with your personal Snowmageddon, put down the beer pitcher and let people pitch in.

The Fairness for All Act
On Friday, Republican Representative Chris Stewart of Utah introduced the Fairness for All Act, which, as Christianity Today reports, "would prohibit anti-LGBT discrimination in employment, housing, and places of public accommodation, including retail stores, banks, and health care service providers."
In essence, just like the proposed Equality Act supported by House Democrats, the Fairness for All Act would place sexual orientation and gender identity on par with race and religion as protected classes under the Civil Rights Act.
But there's a major difference between Fairness for All and the Equality Act. The Fairness for All Act seeks to exempt religious organizations such as churches and nonprofits. So, for example, "Churches wouldn't be required to host same-sex weddings. Christian schools wouldn't have to hire LGBT people. Adoption agencies could receive federal funding even if they turned away same-sex couples looking to raise children."
As such, Rep. Stewart and supporters of the Fairness for All Act see the bill as balancing religious freedom and LGBT rights.
Now I believe Fairness for All is a well-intentioned bill. And I believe that its supporters are truly trying to find ways to compromise with LGBT rights in order to preserve our religious liberties in the end.
But this Act is the wrong piece of legislation at the wrong time.
The Act would enshrine into law something that simply is not true, and for Christians that's got to be a non-starter: that sexual orientation and gender identity are equal to race, that they are somehow immutable, something someone is born with. As my colleague Shane Morris discussed with me on BreakPoint This Week, the "born with" idea is a useful fiction created by the early proponents of the gay-rights movement to win public approval for their cause. They succeeded, of course, but it does not make the fiction any more true.
Second, the Act is addressing a non-issue. Back in the 1960s, the Civil Rights Act addressed a very real problem: There were entire swaths of the country where African Americans couldn't find a hotel room, buy gas, or get a meal. And so public accommodations were necessary so African Americans could fully participate in society. That most certainly is not the case today with the so-called "sexual minorities." When two men targeted cakeshop owner Jack Phillips to force him to design a cake for their same-sex wedding, they knew full well that there were plenty of cakeshops nearby that would gladly do what they ask.
This raises another problem with the Fairness for All Act: Its exemptions "would not apply to for-profit businesses with 14 or fewer employees." In other words, if you're a Christian business owner, and not a church or a religious non-profit, you're on the wrong side of the law—outside of the Act's protections. Meaning Fairness for All isn't really fairness for all.
And, as I explained on BreakPoint This Week, this act continues the ghastly idea that people of faith who insist on religious liberty are the bad guys. That they are bigots who need to be "exempted" precisely because they want to deny the rights of others.
The Fairness for All has its roots in what's called the Utah Compromise, which was a state measure largely championed by the LDS church. It hasn't worked in Utah and it's not a good idea for federal legislation. In fact, these ideas were birthed under a previous presidential administration openly hostile to religious liberty—and when it looked like the next administration would be as well.
But elections matter. Federal courts and the Supreme Court are growing more conservative and more respectful of religious liberty. Now is simply not the time to give up the rights of individual believers in order to preserve the freedoms of religious institutions alone.
Now, do I think the Fairness for All Act will pass? No. Nor does Rep. Stewart. The Democrats hold the House and see no need to compromise at all on LGBT rights and religious rights.
And while there may be a way to truly balance these rights in the future, The Fairness for All Act isn't it.

Biz Tips: The Power of Content Repurposing Done Right
The Power of Content Repurposing Done Right
Source: Adobe Stock
Let's be honest — the development of marketing content isn't exactly cheap. From the idea to the research to the execution, it's an investment. And like any business investment, you need a level of return that makes sense based on the time, effort or dollars expended.
The biggest content no-no? The one and done
It's the cardinal sin of content — having a great idea and using it just once. Imagine you invest in some first-party research that generates a bunch of interesting insights about your market. Do you issue a press release with the highlights and call it a day? Absolutely not.
The list of ways you can extend the value of that research is a mile long. A few that come to mind…
Create a downloadable report with in-depth research findings. Illustrate with some cool charts and graphs, and wrap it up with some unique insights. Boom, thought leadership at its best.
Grab 3-4 of the most interesting stats from the white paper and reinvent them as an infographic. Ideally, use your headline and intro to spin the data in a fresh-yet-complementary way to the research report. Your call to action? Download the full report.
Turn individual stats into punchy graphics to share via social media or email as part of a nurturing campaign.
Pitch the story behind the research results to a podcast host and guest on their broadcast to discuss.
Turn the podcast interview into a downloadable transcript and post on your website.
Though learning styles may be a sort-of-debunked myth, there's something to be said for mixing up your content formats to keep things fresh.
In addition to creating distinct content asset formats like those described above, don't overlook the power of versioning — tweaking a piece of content so it's relevant to a specific type of reader. There are two smart ways to do this:
Re-skin the same basic information for different audiences. Dorie Clark, author of Entrepreneurial You and several other must-reads, is the absolute master at this.
Take a look at the impressive list of articles she's written for major media outlets , and you'll see that Clark often tailors foundational principles from her books to widely varying audiences, from small business owners to corporate HR executives.
With some adjustments to terminology and relatable examples, this is a simple way to extend the life and reach of pretty much any solid (but general) content.
Dial it up or down. Audiences arrive at your content with varying levels of familiarity about the subject. Not everyone is ready for your expert-level take on calculating customer lifetime value, for example. But if you break the topic into simpler chunks — like how much more costly customer acquisition is versus retention — you can ease them into more complex discussions by meeting them where they are.
The marketing automation pros at Marketo have this approach nailed. They literally label their content assets based on complexity, from 101 for fundamentals to cheat sheets and deeper-dive definitive guides. Readers can easily find exactly the level of information that suits them, and hopefully stick around to expand their knowledge.
Repurposing: All the cool kids are doing it
Think repurposing your marketing content is a low-budget or small-time play? Think again. Two heavy hitter examples come to mind:
Comedy Central Celebrity Roasts
We're admittedly huge fans, because they're ribald and hilarious. Imagine our delight when we recently discovered the Hall of Flame: Top 100 Comedy Central Roast Moments. This is repurposing at its finest: the inimitable Nikki Glaser hosting a countdown of curated moments from past broadcasts.
Here's why it's genius:
It's accessible. Have a few minutes rather than an hour? You're guaranteed a quick laugh.
It's a gateway. Viewers entertained by Betty White's one-two takedown of both William Shatner and George Takei can't help but seek out the full roast episode…then hang around for a few more.
The Hamilton Mixtape
Unless you've been in a media blackout for the last several years (and frankly, who could blame you?), you're familiar with the cultural touchstone that is Hamilton. In addition to the official Broadway cast album, fans can also enjoy The Hamilton Mixtape, described by Vox.com as "a treasure trove of covers and reimagined variations on Hamilton the musical."
It gives a peek behind the curtain. Songs that didn't make the cut? Yes, please. Everyone loves to feel like they're an insider.
It extends the love. #HamFans are a uniquely rabid bunch, hungry for any and all things related to their favorite obsession. Give them riffs on the original and they're in heaven.
Remember, it's not about repetition. It's about repurposing.
Extending the life of your marketing content isn't lazy. It's smart. By varying formats and tweaking for specific audiences or levels of knowledge, you're casting a wider net for eyeballs on that content.
And isn't that the ultimate aim of any marketing effort?

Paul Thomas Anderson (Studio City, Los Angeles, 26 de junho de 1970) é um cineasta norte-americano nomeado onze vezes ao Oscar, sendo três vezes ao Oscar de melhor roteiro original por Boogie Nights, Magnólia e Licorice Pizza.

Biografia
Paul nasceu em 26 de junho de 1970, em Studio City, Califórnia, crescendo no vale de São Fernando. Seu pai, Ernie Anderson, foi um conhecido narrador (America's Funniest Home Vídeos, The Love Boat, etc) e criou o famoso Ghoulardi (que Paul utiliza como o nome de sua produtora há vários anos) que foi um programa de filmes B de horror apresentado por ele no início dos anos 60, e que rapidamente virou um grande cult na região de Cleveland. Paul possui também dois irmãos e quatro irmãs.

Muito pouco se sabe sobre sua infância, mas foi registrada que a escola nunca apelou para Paul e ele teve que deixar a Buckley School na sexta série, devido à brigas e notas baixas. Após o Montclair College Prep. High School, ele ficou dois semestres como aluno principal na Emerson, antes de abandoná-la. Depois se matriculou na New York Film School, mas só assistiu aula por dois dias. Paul sempre quis ser um cineasta e assistir filmes era toda a educação de que precisava.

Paul desenvolveu sua paixão por filmes ainda criança e começou sua carreira como um assistente de produção em vários filmes televisivos (Sworm to Vengeance), vídeos e game shows ("The Quiz Kids Challenge") em Los Angeles e Nova York.

Depois de trabalhar em cargos semelhantes para vários filmes independentes de baixo orçamento, Anderson escreveu o script para um pequeno filme intitulado "Cigarettes and Coffee", e comprou uma câmera para filmar o curta-metragem. Cigarettes and Coffee foi premiado no Festival de Sundance de 1993 no Short Programs II. Através deste curta, foi habilitado para desenvolver um filme no Sundance Institutes Filmmaker's Workshops.

O resultado foi "Hard Eight", estrelando Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, Philip Seymour Hoffman e Samuel L. Jackson. O filme foi exibido no Sundance Filme Festival e no Cannes Film Festival, ambos no ano de 1996. A obra foi aclamada pelas suas performances complexas e pelo fascinante estudo da psicologia humana. Um crítico declarou Paul Thomas Anderson como sendo "o mais promissor diretor de 1997".

O segundo filme de Anderson, "Boogie Nights", cumpriu a promessa, colhendo aclamadas críticas e três indicações ao Óscar™. Estrelando um elenco que inclui Mark Wahlberg, Burt Reynolds, Julianne Moore, Heather Graham, John C. Reilly, Don Cheadle e Philip Seymour Hoffman, o filme ilustrou a história de uma extensa família de diretores, atores, produtores e técnicos do cinema pornô, lutando para revolucionar a indústria do entretenimento adulto. O filme também recebeu da Boston Society of Film Critics um prêmio para "Melhor Diretor Revelação", e Anderson ganhou da Pen Center USA West Literary uma premiação para "Melhor Roteiro".

Utilizando o sucesso de Boogie Nights, Paul retornou no inverno de 1999 com "Magnólia", um filme com uma trama produzida e dirigida em segredo.

A obra possui a maioria do elenco de Boogie Nights, com uma principal inclusão: Tom Cruise. O filme recebeu tremendas críticas elogiando-o e colocando-o no topo das listas dos Dez Melhores de vários críticos. Foi vencedor do prestigiado Urso de Ouro do Festival de Filmes de Berlim. Também recebeu três indicações ao Oscar™ nas categorias de "Melhor Roteiro Original", "Melhor Ator Coadjuvante" (Tom Cruise) e "Melhor Canção Original" (Save Me, de Aimee Mann).

Depois de aproximadamente três anos, o quarto filme de Paul, "Punch Drunk Love", estreou no Festival de Filmes de Cannes onde Paul Thomas Anderson foi premiado "Melhor Diretor". É estrelado por Adam Sandler, Emily Watson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mary Lynn Rajskub e Luis Guzmán. Foi exibido pela primeira vez nos Estados Unidos em 11 de outubro de 2002. Enquanto colhia aclamadas críticas tanto para Anderson como para o astro Adam Sandler, o filme foi um retumbante fracasso nas bilheterias comerciais.

Paul ficou o verão de 2005 auxiliando na direção e atuando na produção executiva do que seria o último filme de Robert Altman, "A Prairie Home Companion", que foi candidato a abrir o SXSW Film Festival de 2006. Também se anunciou nesta época que Paul e sua namorada, Maya Rudolph, tiveram seu primeiro filho, que recebeu o nome de Pearl Bailey.

No início de 2006, notícias do próximo filme de Anderson, "There Will Be Blood", foram matérias principais em todas as revistas e websites norte-americanos sobre o tema. O roteiro de Paul utiliza aspectos do livro de Upton Sinclair, "Oil!", para expor o lado obscuro dos negócios da exploração e perfuração petrolífera no sul do Estado da Califórnia, quando este começa a ter um valor equivalente ao mercado do ouro. Daniel Day-Lewis irá interpreta um garimpeiro que compra os direitos do óleo proveniente do rancho de uma família, travando uma dura batalha pelo poder e domínio da renda decorrente do comércio do petróleo. A história converte-se então numa alegoria sobre ambição e fé, representada pelo garimpeiro que realiza o sonho americano e é conseqüentemente destruído por ele.

As filmagens do filme começaram no Texas e Novo México em maio de 2006. Paul foi para a Europa em férias de duas semanas, em virtude da pós-produção da película, que começou no meio de setembro do mesmo ano. Quando o filme foi lançado, não foi um sucesso nas bilheterias, mas as críticas foram extremamente positivas, trazendo oito indicação do Óscar, inclusive de melhor diretor e melhor roteiro adaptado, ganhando o de Melhor Ator para Daniel Day-Lewis. O filme é considerado um dos melhores da década de 2000. A Revista Rolling Stone declarou "There Will Be Blood" o melhor filme da década.

Anos depois, em 2012, Paul voltou para as telonas com "The Master" (br :O Mestre), que estrelou Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams e Philip Seymour Hoffman, recebendo três indicações para o Óscar para os três atores.

Em 2014, Thomas estreou o filme "Vício Inerente", mais uma vez ao lado de Phoenix, dando a ele mais uma indicação ao Óscar, na categoria de melhor roteiro.

Estilo de filmagem, temas e marcas registradas
Anderson é conhecido por colocar em seus filmes um grande elenco, adotar um estilo de filmagem independente e entrelaçar várias histórias numa mesma trama, como é o caso de Boogie Nights (1997) e Magnolia (1999).

Anderson é um membro da primeira geração do chamado grupo "Cineastas do VCR", onde junto com diretores como Quentin Tarantino e Kevin Smith, aprendeu o ofício da direção não em escolas de cinema, mas sim vendo inúmeros filmes em vídeo, adquirindo desta forma um vasto conhecimento da cultura e da técnica cinematográficas.

Os filmes de Anderson frequentemente lidam com o significado das relações familiares, particularmente dos pais e seus filhos. Temas envolvendo o destino divino, a enigmática natureza do amor e o papel da mídia contemporânea também são explorados. Anderson interpreta as interconexões entre seus personagens como resultado das inconstantes circunstâncias que afetam suas frágeis vidas. As marcas registradas de Anderson, em termos estéticos, incluem a realização de longos takes através de travellings de steadicam, todos com difícil execução logística (como a cena de abertura de Boogie Nights, introduzindo um plano único que dura mais de três minutos na tela), e sequências freqüentemente acompanhadas de um bombástico e constante uso do som e da música.

Parcerias fílmicas
Além dos filmes, Anderson também já dirigiu vários videoclipes, incluindo algumas obras da cantora Fiona Apple. Anderson também foi uma espécie de diretor substituto para o filme A Prairie Home Companion (A Última Noite, título no Brasil), de Robert Altman, possivelmente com a finalidade de fornecer uma garantia para a conclusão da obra, em virtude de Altman já ter 80 anos à época de realização do filme. Sua participação não foi formalmente creditada na película.

Vida pessoal
Anderson e a cantora Fiona Apple tiveram um relacionamento por vários anos; ela apareceu com ele making-of que fala sobre o diário da produção, no DVD do filme Magnólia. Anderson está atualmente envolvido em um relacionamento com a integrante do Saturday Night Live, Maya Rudolph. O casal tem 4 filhos:
 Pearl Bailey Anderson - nascida no dia 15 de outubro de 2005
 Lucille Anderson - nascida em 6 de novembro de 2009
 Jack Anderson - nascido no dia 03 de Julho de 2011
 Minnie Ida Anderson nascida no dia 1 de Agosto de 2013.

FDA lowers voluntary sodium guidelines, but not to recommended levels
The guidance issued by the FDA concerns voluntary targets for foods produced by food manufacturers, restaurants, and food service operators.
"The targets seek to decrease average sodium intake from approximately 3,400 milligrams (mg) to 3,000 mg per day, about a 12% reduction, over the next 2.5 years," acting FDA Commissioner Dr. Janet Woodcock and FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition director Susan Mayne said in a statement.
"Although the average intake would still be above the Dietary Guidelines for Americans' recommended limit of 2,300 mg per day for those 14 and older, we know that even these modest reductions—made slowly over the next few years—will substantially decrease diet-related diseases, make for a healthier population overall and lower the burden of health care costs in this country."
The American Heart Association also recommends no more than 2,300 mg per day, but recommends an "ideal limit" of 1,500 mg per day.
In 2016, the FDA released draft guidance suggesting a limit of 2,300 mg a day. The agency said it was working with the food industry. "In the future, we plan to issue revised, subsequent targets to lower the sodium content incrementally to further help reduce sodium intake," the FDA said.
"Because the average American eats so much excess sodium, even cutting back by 1,000 milligrams a day can significantly improve blood pressure and heart health," the Heart Association says on its webpage addressing sodium. The Heart Association says consuming too much salt can raise blood pressure, which in turn causes heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Heart Association said the FDA's targets are an important step forward that will help people decrease their sodium intake, but not enough. It urged the FDA to take more action to lower the levels of sodium in the food supply.
"Lowering sodium levels in the food supply would reduce risk of hypertension, heart disease, stroke, heart attack and death in addition to saving billions of dollars in health-care costs over the next decade," it said. "Many members of the food and restaurant industry have begun to reduce sodium in their products. We strongly encourage the industry as a whole to adopt these targets and build upon existing efforts to reduce sodium in their products and meals.
According to the FDA, most people eat more sodium than recommended, and over 95% of children between two and 13 eat more sodium than recommended.
The new voluntary guidelines will address food manufacturers. Around 70% of the sodium people consume comes from pre-made or packaged foods, according to the FDA, "which makes it challenging to limit sodium," Woodcock and Mayne said.
"Hundreds of thousands of Americans die each year from chronic disease related to poor nutrition, and by some estimates, the total economic costs range upwards to a trillion dollars per year," US Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a statement.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the need to ensure everyone has access to healthy and nutritious food. Improving the quality of food and nutrition is not only important to boost individual health outcomes -- it is an essential step towards tackling widespread health disparities," he said.

Q: Form value creates a url with target blank and rel nofollow noopener noreferrer I found this solution here Form value creates a url to make text input form a URL on submit.
Is it possible to add rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" and target="_blank" to the the URL?
thanks
<script>
function process()
{
var url="http://name.com/" + document.getElementById("url").value;
location.href=url;
return false;
}
</script>
<form onSubmit="return process();">
URL: <input type="text" name="url" id="url"> <input type="submit" value="go">
</form>

A: There are two approaches to get the submission response page/action page to open in a new window:

*

*change your location.href call to a window.open call; refer to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open for documentation on using window.open

OR...

*instead of loading the url in your javascript, set the form action attribute in the  tag and also set a target of _blank in the same  tag. Use your javascript function to return true to submit the form to the action url or return false to prevent submission.

Then, too set a nofollow behavior for the new page that the form action directs too, you can either disallow its indexing in robots.txt or add a metatag, as noted in the answer here:  https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/13837/nofollow-in-a-form-action

This Mixed Media course gives students a unique opportunity to draw and paint the last Victorian Steam Brewery in the country.
Fort Nelson is part of a massive ring of brick, masonry and earth forts; it was built to provide the fire power to deter an enemy attack on Portsmouth from inland. Portsmouth was Britain's premier naval dockyard, building and maintaining warships that were vital to the defense of Britain and her growing empire. Portsmouth faced the new French dockyard at Cherbourg, only a short 130 km (81 mile) journey for new steam-powered warships. The threat was not simply a direct naval assault. It was feared that a French invasion force might land elsewhere, occupy Portsdown Hill and fire their new, long-range guns to attack Portsmouth below from its landward side. However, despite strong words, the French did not steam across the Channel. By the time the Palmerston forts were completed, France had been humiliated by war with Prussia in 1870. Never used against invaders, the angular forts dominating the chalk ridge of Portsdown were soon called 'Palmerston's Follies'. Fort Nelson and the other Portsdown forts had cost a fortune to build. They were one of the biggest defenses ever built in Britain.
More exciting news later !

AP calls Florida for McCain
John McCain has apparently won the key Florida primary; Mitt Romney is in second.
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2008/01/30/mccain_35/
Alex Koppelman
We had heard this was going to be a long night, but it might not end up that way -- the Associated Press has called Florida's Republican primary for Sen. John McCain over second-place finisher Mitt Romney. CNN and Fox News have also called for McCain, though as of this posting, MSNBC still has Florida listed as too close to call. From McCain headquarters in Florida, Salon's Mike Madden reports that the cheer "Mac is back!" has gone up from the crowd.
Update: MSNBC just called for McCain as well.

Ouster of a black judge is linked to Christie's Bridgegate
David A. Love
"I'm glad I'm not one of those who has left this world — you're treating me as one who has. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Those were the words of former New Jersey Supreme Court Associate Justice John Wallace Jr. to a room full of supporters over four years ago.
In 2010, Wallace, who came to the end of his seven-year term as the only African-American on the Garden State's highest court, was two years away from the court's mandatory retirement age of 70. At the time, Governor Chris Christie refused to reappoint the jurist to the bench, marking the first time a New Jersey governor had failed to renew a justice since the state constitution had been adopted in 1947.
This also marked the first time in 16 years that the New Jersey court would not have a black sitting justice, which it does not have to this day.
Democrats were angered over the removal of Justice Wallace, and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney said Christie "decided to inject 'rank politics' into the historic independence of the state's judiciary." Critics accused the governor of harming the integrity of the court and, according to the Newark Star-Ledger, only helping to fuel partisan battles in the future by going against custom and not reappointing Wallace to the bench. An editorial in the New York Times called the move "a case of political overreach."
"I am disappointed by that decision" said Chief Justice Stuart Rabner, a friend of Gov. Christie, in support of Wallace, a Democrat.
A Harvard Law graduate and former captain in the U.S. Army who previously sat on a municipal court, the New Jersey Superior Court and the Appellate Division of the Superior Court, Wallace was known as a moderate voice on the bench with a solid judicial career marked by integrity and free of scandal. Chrsitie claimed Wallace had contributed to "out-of-control" liberal activism on the court.
Now, some observers are making a connection between the ousting of Justice Wallace and "Bridgegate," the scandal plaguing the Christie administration, in which his office on August 13, 2013 ordered the closing of traffic lanes on the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J.— allegedly in retaliation against Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich for refusing to endorse the governor. The intentional blocking of traffic on the world's busiest bridge from September 9-13 of last year created crippling traffic, including delays for emergency responders.
However, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC offered another theory behind Bridgegate; that Gov. Christie and his staffers retaliated against state Senate Democrats for blocking his nominees to the bench. First, Democrats made his first nominee, Anne Paterson, wait for another vacancy on the court until they considered her candidacy. Subsequently, for three years, Senate Democrats blocked a series of Christie's nominees until 2013, when they signaled they would block the renomination of Supreme Court Justice Helen Hoens (R), the wife of one of the governor's aides.
On August 12, 2013, Christie withdrew Justice Hoens' reappointment on the high court rather than resubmit her renomination. "I was not going to let her loose to the animals," he angrily told reporters at a press conference, referring to the New Jersey Senate Democrats.
The next day, on August 13, Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie's deputy chief of staff, sent the following email message to David Wildstein, director of interstate capital projects for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Port Authority, and high school classmate and confidant to the governor: "Time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
Meanwhile, New Jersey Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg is from Fort Lee.
The Bridgegate scandal is particularly noteworthy to a national audience because Christie— until now a popular Republican in a blue state— has been touted as a leading potential GOP contender for a 2016 presidential run against Hilary Clinton. Some political and media observers, such as Peter Beinart in The Atlantic, have viewed Christie as the only candidate able to help the Republican Party—a party suffering from an unfavorable and highly unlikeable brand—sway wary voters. In addition to investigations over Bridgegate, Governor Christie also faces a federal probe into allegations he misused federal relief money for Hurricane Sandy in order to produce tourism commercials featuring himself and his family.
Today, John Wallace is an attorney in private practice, and the chair of the Joint Legislative Committee on Ethical Standards, the legislature's committee which investigates allegation of misconduct among legislators.
TheGrio reached out to Wallace for comment on the ongoing Christie scandal but he didn't want to weigh in. "It has been several years now since I was not renominated to our Supreme Court. I have declined all interview requests on this issue and continue with my decision not to publicly address the issue," said Wallace.

Question: Who Executes A Will?

Who reads a will after death?
Can you hide a will?
Who has to be notified of a will?
What you should never put in your will?
How are beneficiaries of a will notified?
Can an executor do whatever they want?
The cost of making a will in NSW varies depending on how complex the document is, whether the will-maker chooses to use a DIY kit or a solicitor and what the individual solicitor charges.
Fees range from as low as $30 for an online DIY will kit to between $300 to $1000 to have your will professionally drafted..
O.P. Can an executor of a will legally withhold a beneficiary's share of the estate stipulating it will be withheld unless and until that beneficiary seeks help with their addiction.
Executing a will is the technical term for signing a will and making it legally binding. … To execute a will in any state in the United States, you must 1) sign the document while you have capacity to know what you're doing, and 2) have two people sign the will as witnesses.
As an executor, you have a fiduciary duty to the beneficiaries of the estate. That means you must manage the estate as if it were your own, taking care with the assets. So you cannot do anything that intentionally harms the interests of the beneficiaries.
In most cases, a will is probated and assets distributed within eight to twelve months from the time the will is filed with the court. Probating a will is a process with many steps, but with attention to detail it can be moved along.
Witnesses. As a protection against fraud, almost every state requires that witnesses (as well as the will-maker) sign the will. If the witnessing requirements were not met, the probate court judge will decide whether or not to admit the will to probate.
It tells the executor to give the beneficiaries whatever is left in the estate after the debts, expenses, claims and taxes have been paid. It gives the executor certain legal and financial powers to manage the estate, including the power to keep or sell property in the estate, to invest cash, and to borrow money.
Unlike a will, a living trust passes property outside of probate court. There are no court or attorney fees after the trust is established. Your property can be passed immediately and directly to your named beneficiaries. Trusts tend to be more expensive than wills to create and maintain.
Types Of Property And Assets To Include In A WillReal property, such as real estate, land, and buildings.Cash, including money in checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts, etc.More items…
Executor Basics This person is the executor, sometimes referred to as a personal representative or administrator. Generally, the executor is someone named in the will by the deceased person and appointed by the probate court. If the will fails to name an executor, a court will appoint one on their own.
Do you need a solicitor Many executors and administrators act without a solicitor. However, if the estate is complicated, it is best to get legal advice. You should always get legal advice if, for example: the terms of a will are not clear.
Your state's probate code may require that you wait to file the will for administration until a specific period of time has passed—for example, 120 hours after the decedent's death. Your state may also provide a deadline for filing a will for traditional probate estate administration.
If someone dies without a will, the money in his or her bank account will still pass to the named beneficiary or POD for the account. … In most states, most or all of the money will go to the deceased's spouse and children.
Neither you nor your brother have an inherent right to see your father's will until he has passed away and it is lodged with the probate court. When that happens, your father's will becomes a public record that anyone can see. … If your father created a trust to avoid probate, it's even more private.
If you die without a will, it means you have died "intestate." When this happens, the intestacy laws of the state where you reside will determine how your property is distributed upon your death. This includes any bank accounts, securities, real estate, and other assets you own at the time of death.
Once the will is located, it should be given to the estate's attorney. Instead of reading the will out loud, the estate's attorney sends copies of the will to anyone who may have an interest in it. Obviously, the person who is named as executor or personal representative is entitled to a copy of the will.
It is a felony to hide, secret or destroy a decedent's will.
You are supposed to be notified if you are a named beneficiary or a designated executor. If a probate action has been filed in court, the will had to be filed also, generally within thirty days of death,, with a copy attached to the petition for probate.
Here are five of the most common things you shouldn't include in your will:Funeral Plans. … Your 'Digital Estate. … Jointly Held Property. … Life Insurance and Retirement Funds. … Illegal Gifts and Requests.
Beneficiaries of a will must be notified after the will is accepted for probate. 3 Moreover, probated wills are automatically placed in the public record. If the will is structured to avoid probate, there are no specific notification requirements.
What Can an Executor Do? An executor has the authority from the probate court to manage the affairs of the estate. Executors can use the money in the estate in whatever way they determine best for the estate and for fulfilling the decedent's wishes.
