Film editing: what it is and how to do it best
In cinema, it is not only the film that is made that counts, the criticism and the opinion that comes out of the film itself. The circle of organization and preparation behind a good film also counts. From this point of view , the editing of a film is a fundamental component . Without editing there would be no film either.
A question as clear as it is emblematic. A law that has been valid since cinema as a whole became established in the early 1900s.
The secrets of good editing
Technically speaking, in order to have a good film editing, you need to have at your disposal, as well as the right men, also the most right and appropriate equipment.
Over the years we have gone from the so-called mechanical assembly to the electronic and digital one, which make the practice much simpler from this point of view. Many contemporary directors and set designers are based on it.
It becomes much easier in this way to be able to assemble a scene sequence without necessarily having to review the entire original film roll and alter it in its entirety. A saving of time and money, very convenient from all points of view and which accelerates the creative process in an impressive way.
A real art and the language of the director par excellence through which to produce the cinematographic representation in practice. Also from this act it is easier to understand the personality of a director in his work and in his methods of application.
Through the editing of a film, the viewer can look at the scenes with a different eye than he would look at the same act, but in everyday life. Direction therefore implies a doubled visual effect, in fact, in the spectator himself. Perception, in fact, changes.
The post-production of a film allows the various shots produced to be arranged one after the other, giving them a certain narrative order through editing. The success of a shot, from this point of view, depends on the shot and the way in which it is expressed.
The greater the detachment during shooting, the greater the chances of having a more distorted shot than usual which, therefore, will require more post-production work. Crossfading acts as a great antidote to smoothing out this type of inconvenience.
To make a montage worthy of great cinematographic sets, you need to know what elements to use and how to use them . Have a certain overview of the takes shot with the help, if possible, of several cameras at the same time, giving an eye, however, to the most right angle for a scene.
Slow motion is the right tool to best synchronize audio with video. The sequences, in this way, have a more marked linearity, aligned. Digital editing , on the other hand, can use specific software capable of storing all the footage on the hard disk, while eliminating the tapes and films to be kept. Colors and special effects can be inserted in a more pervasive and incisive way.
Finally, the substantial difference between alternating and parallel mounting should be highlighted . The first aims to overturn the viewer's visual perception, inserting an alternation of shots shot in 2 different places, but at the same instant. In the second case, 2 scene contexts occur in a non-simultaneous way, to underline their similarities and review them in a practically contemporary way.

Presenter, "Chat With Melinda... Ask Me Anything..."
Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon bestselling author Melinda Leigh is a fully recovered banker. A life-long lover of books, she started writing as a way to preserve her sanity while raising her kids. Over the next few years, she learned a few things about writing a book. The process was much more fun than analyzing financial statements, and she decided to turn her hobby into a career. Melinda's debut novel, SHE CAN RUN, was nominated for Best First Novel by the International Thriller Writers. She is a RITA® Award Finalist and has earned three Daphne du Maurier Award nominations, two Silver Falchions, and three Golden Leaf Awards. Melinda's books have sold 4 million copies.
Melinda holds a 2nd degree belt in Kenpo Karate. She's dabbled in Arnis stick fighting, studied Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and taught women's self-defense. She lives in a messy house with her family and a small herd of rescue pets, who clearly run the show. With such a pleasant life, she has no explanation for the sometimes dark and disturbing nature of her imagination. Find out more about Melinda by visiting melindaleigh.com.
Is there a conference workshop you've attended that really helped you, or that you remember because it was something new or different, helpful or interesting?
The very best workshop I've ever attended is "Show, Don't Tell" by Anne Walradt.
What do you find is the biggest challenge a romance writer faces in today's market?
It is very difficult to compete with the huge volume of free romance novels available.
Do you use a critique group/partner, beta reader(s), your editor and/or agent, or some combination for feedback?
I do not use beta readers. My agent and editor are the only people to read my manuscripts.
What does your writing day look like? Do you have a certain time of day you write? How many days a week? A certain word goal per day?
When I'm in the middle of a project, I write every day. Usually, I set a daily goal of approximately 2,000 words, but this total is flexible.
Do you write multiple drafts or edit as you go, barely needing revisions when typing, The End?
I edit as I write, and give my final draft at least one solid edit before turning it in.
What is your process for writing a book? For example, are you a plotter or a pantser? Do you start at page 1 and write your book sequentially or do you skip around? Do you start with your characters or the plot?
I do all of these things. Every book is different. Usually, I plot four major turning points and then begin to write. I would be bored if I knew everything that was going to happen ahead of time.
What are you working on this very moment?
I am currently writing Save Your Breath, Morgan Dane Book 6.
What was your most memorable pitching experience?
I don't remember. I pitched to so many agents and editors; it's all a blur.
Can you share with us a fan letter, email, or meet and greet experience with a reader that stuck with you?
At the last RWA conference literary signing, a woman approached me and told me that I'd changed her life. With the help of Kindle Immersion Reading and my books, she learned to read. I had goosebumps by the time she told me her story.
What is the most valuable lesson you've learned as an author?
The market is always changing. You must be prepared to change with it.
I would love to be able to dictate my books. I've tried, but my brain doesn't seem to work that way.
My initial answer was walking or playing with my dogs, but we just lost one of our beautiful pups. I am heartbroken.
Who's your go-to band or artist when you can't decide on something to listen to?
I listen to a variety of music, depending on my mood.
I am learning to knit. So far, I am completely untalented, but the exercise is good for the arthritis in my fingers.
What do you regret not doing or starting when you were younger?
I wish I'd have learned a second language.
I can't really pick one color. I like blue, khaki, gray.
That's a tie between coffee and ice cream.
Would you rather be transported permanently 500 years into the future or 500 years into the past?
Would you rather have an unlimited international first class ticket or never have to pay for food at restaurants?
Would you rather have free Wi-Fi wherever you go or be able to drink unlimited free coffee at any coffee shop?
Coffee! I don't trust public WiFi.

The Committee's Memorandum includes a section-by-section for each of the Committee Prints and a fact sheet on key provisions is available.
Grid Decarbonization Standard: $150 billion in a Clean Electricity Performance Program (CEPP) at the Department of Energy (DOE) The CEPP, which complements tax incentives for clean energy, will issue grants to and collect payments from electricity suppliers from 2023 through 2030 based on how much qualified clean electricity each supplier provides to customers.
An electricity supplier will be eligible for a grant if it increases the amount of clean electricity it supplies to customers by 4 percentage points compared to the previous year. The grant will be $150 for each megawatt-hour of clean electricity above 1.5 percent the previous year's clean electricity.
Electricity suppliers must use the grants exclusively for the benefit of their customers, including direct bill assistance, investments in qualified clean electricity and energy efficiency, and worker retention.
An electricity supplier that does not increase its clean electricity percentage by at least 4 percent compared to the previous year will owe a payment to DOE based on the shortfall. If, for example, the electricity supplier only increases its clean electricity percentage by 2 percent, the supplier will owe $40 for each megawatt-hour that represents the 2 percent shortfall.
The CEPP gives electricity suppliers the option to defer a grant or a payment for up to two consecutive years.
Eligible clean electricity is electricity generation with a carbon intensity of not more than 0.10 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent per megawatt-hour [i.e., renewable and nuclear].
Other Energy and Climate Provisions:
$13.5 billion in electric vehicle infrastructure
$7 billion in multiple loan and grant programs at DOE to support development of innovative technologies and American manufacturing of zero emission transportation technologies
$9 billion for grid modernization
$17.5 billion in decarbonizing federal buildings and fleets
$18 billion in home energy efficiency and appliance electrification rebates
$27.5 billion in nonprofit, state, and local climate finance institutions that support the rapid deployment of low- and zero-emission technologies. At least 40 percent of investments will be made in low-income and disadvantaged communities
$2.5 billion for planning and installing solar facilities and community solar projects that serve low-income households or multi-family affordable housing complexes
$30 billion for the full replacement of lead service lines in drinking water systems
$10 billion for the cleanup of Superfund sites
Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grants: $5 billion to community-led projects that address environmental and public health harms related to pollution and climate change
methane fee on pollution from the oil and gas industry above specific intensity thresholds
$5 billion in replacing certain heavy-duty vehicles, such as refuse trucks and school buses, with zero emission vehicles Health
dental, vision, and hearing coverage for seniors under Medicare
expands Medicaid eligibility to millions of Americans
$190 billion to expand access to quality home-based services and care for millions of older adults and people with disabilities
permanently extend the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP)

ensure that Medicaid coverage begins automatically 30 days prior to an individual's release from incarceration
$2.86 billion in funding for the World Trade Center Health Program
$3 billion in funding to establish the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H)
$35 billion in investments to rebuild and modernize public health departments
$15 billion in targeted investments for pandemic preparedness
$10 billion in grants for the implementation of Next Generation 9-1-1 services
$4 billion to the Emergency Connectivity Fund to ensure students, school staff, and library patrons have internet connectivity

House Working To Write and Pass the $3.5 Trillion Build Back Better Act Reconciliation Package
The House of Representatives has begun a whirlwind effort to pass the $3.5 trillion "human infrastructure" reconciliation bill known as the Build Back Better Act this month.

How the super-rich protect their wealth: The rise of the prenuptial agreement
A decade on from the landmark Radmacher-Granatino case, the oft-overlooked prenuptial agreement still has much to recommend itself (as some of London's top family lawyers will attest)
By Annabel Sampson

In his 2005 hit Gold Digger, Kayne West rapped about the virtues of prenuptial agreements. 'Holla, "We want a prenup! We want a prenup!" (Yeah!) / It's somethin' that you need to have / 'Cause when she leaves yo' ass, she gon' leave with half,' were the exact lyrics – a line that's suddenly become strikingly resonant, given news of an impending split between the rapper and his wife, Kim Kardashian.
According to Grace Lawrence, an associate at Family Law in Partnership (FLiP): 'There has been a material increase in the demand for – and the English Court's recognition of – prenups'. And the increase can almost be directly attributed to the landmark Supreme Court ruling in 2010, a decade ago, at the epic Radmacher vs. Granatino divorce battle.
The prenup the two parties freely entered into ahead of the wedding was given 'decisive weight' when the court was dividing up the assets at the time of the divorce (following their eight year marriage, that resulted in two children). Katrin Radmacher was the glamorous German heiress worth £100million and her husband (the substantially poorer party), Nicolas Granatino, the French former investment banker (paid £300k-a-year) turned Oxford researcher (paid £30k-a-year).

The court ruled decisively in favour of the heiress (and the prenup); and the decision was upheld to reward the former husband just £5.56 million (which consisted of a housing fund of £2.5 million, payment off of debts and an income fund of £100,000 for life). Radmacher's jubilant lawyer gave interviews outside the court following the verdict: 'Couples can now decide in the best of times what the outcome will be in the worst of times. Prenups are like a form of fire insurance — far better taken out before the event than after.'
Unsurprisingly, Granatino contested the prenup in court, claiming the Radmacher family had kept the true extent of their wealth from him when he signed it. Ahead of the 2010 milestone case, prenups were largely shrugged off as simply being 'persuasive' by the courts. After this ruling their heft became far greater. Joanne Edwards, partner and head of family at Forsters, a leading Mayfair law firm, says: 'They signed a prenup in Germany, at the wife's father's insistence, that would elect German law on divorce and opt out of the statutory matrimonial regime,' she explains.'The fact it was binding under German law when signed was relevant to the English court's decision (and going forward we should assume that parties signing agreements governed by English law intend to be bound by them).'

A bar above the rest: The best divorce lawyers in town

Miranda Fisher, a partner specialising in family law at Charles Russell Speechlys, (CRS) says: 'The Radmacher v Granatino remains the ground-breaking decision on prenuptial agreements. It changed the law on prenups in England forever a decade ago, finally making prenups enforceable provided both parties understand the implications of what they are entering into, and provided the agreement is reasonably fair (on the way into it and on the way out of it if a divorce happens).'
Fisher's golden nugget of prenup wisdom for those considering entering into one, is 'don't leave it too late'. She says: 'If you keep putting the prenup off until right up to the wedding, it is still better to have one – even if it means you are signing it on the day of the wedding – than not at all.' She adds: 'Particularly if you are entering into an agreement in England, as opposed to another country in Europe where practice differs, you can undermine the validity of the prenup if there is undue pressure on either party with the document being signed too close to the wedding.' Fisher suggests signing it at least 28 days before the wedding and preferably months in advance. 'You can then get on with enjoying the wedding preparations, rather than meeting with your divorce lawyer to discuss what happens if and when it all falls apart.'
Ivana and Donald Trump: 'Everyone should have a prenup'

As far as the super-rich go, there's a lot of high-rolling fans of the prenup. Ivana Trump, Donald's first wife, told the Times: 'This is the 21st century. Everyone should have a prenup. It's essential to one's future wellbeing. If love lasts, great. If it doesn't, both parties need protection. After all, you don't sue because you're still in love.' The US President himself reportedly commented saying that it was 'idiotic to get married without one.' Adding: 'Ask Paul McCartney what he thinks. I know he wishes he had one'. (Sir Paul McCartney was famously ruled to pay £24.3 million in his divorce from Heather Mills in 2008).
Cynics argue that the prenup is just another way for lawyers to make money out of marriage. You can get one from divorce-online.co.uk for a bargain £199, but a typical bill from a London law firm is upwards of £5,000. That upfront cost however, can save the well-heeled millions.
Grace Lawrence (of FLiP) says: 'London has long had a reputation as the divorce capital of the world. We are one of the most generous jurisdictions in terms of the provision awarded to financially weaker spouses on divorce. The English Court views marriage as a partnership – discrimination between the roles of the breadwinner and homemaker is prohibited. Therefore, ordinarily, the court's starting point is a 50/50 division of the assets built up during the parties' marriage.' Lawrence adds: 'Against this backdrop, it is not surprising that the demand for pre-nuptial agreements has increased.'

Lawrence also warns against agreeing to a fixed sum on divorce in the prenup. 'You may end up being overly generous if the marriage does not last long.' She cites an example of a wife ending up with £1.2m after a three-month marriage.

With a culture as reserved and easily embarrassed as Britain's, is there any great way to bring up the cumbersome, possibly offensive subject of the prenup? It's surely something that doesn't get agreed to without a quite uncomfortable discussion. Catherine Ostler, a former editor of Tatler disagrees, she believes that such discussions are commonplace for the super-rich. 'The mega-rich are so obsessed with protecting their money that they have no issue with mentioning prenups. Fathers-in-law, as in the Radmacher case, often insist on a pre-marriage contract to protect their beloved daughters from gold diggers,' she told the Times around the time of the Radmacher court ruling.
Joanne Edwards of Forsters, advises prospective clients 'to have the right mind-set' when they go into discussions. She says: 'There is a common misconception that prenups are unromantic and will create disagreement at a time when you should be happily planning for a wedding. However, having an open conversation at the beginning of the marriage about how you wish to treat your assets if you were to divorce is sensible and good marriage prep.' She adds: 'It's not about ensuring that one spouse is left with nothing on divorce; it's an insurance policy against hard-fought litigation on divorce and agreeing, during happy times, what a fair outcome will look like if there were a divorce.'
Edwards says that 'it is a good discipline to have regular "health checks" of the prenup and periodically enter into updating "post-nuptial" agreements'. The terms of which can reflect the circumstances and show that the parties intend to continue to be bound by a nuptial agreement. Grace Lawrence of FLiP even says: 'Some couples find prenup negotiations so difficult, they end up breaking up.'
'International, jet-setting couples bring added complexity,' says Lawrence. 'Where the couple have links to multiple countries, it is difficult to predict where their divorce will end up taking place and which country will have jurisdiction. It's important to think about whether the agreement will be enforced in other countries and consider mirror agreements in other key jurisdictions'.

Penalty Clauses are another factor in the prenup, the most common being the 'adultery clause'. Lawrence explains that it is commonplace that the richer party pays more if they cheat and the poorer party receives less if they cheat. 'It is widely reported that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have an agreement that says that Jessica gets an extra $500,000 if Justin is unfaithful,' Lawrence explains. According to the Weinberger Law Group, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones' prenup has a paragraph about how much money Zeta-Jones stands to receive if her Douglas is caught cheating. She is also reportedly entitled to £2.8 million for every year they're married. Douglas's previous marriage to Diandra Douglas cost him $45 million when it ended in 2000 after 23 years, so it seems he is acting on previous misjudgements.
Frances Hughes, senior partner at Hughes Fowler Carruthers, offers this prenup pearl of wisdom: 'If you are the financially weaker party you can't rely on sentiment or chivalry when you divorce. Too many people feel that the pre-wedding generosity will still be there if the marriage breaks down – sadly that's all too rare.' Ten years on from Radmacher-Granatino case, the sentiment continues to echo resoundingly true – a prenup is a surefire way to preserve your wealth. And in terms of bringing up the awkward subject – blame the parents.

Family Law in Partnership's Grace Lawrence offers her top five tips for prenups:
Start early – less weight if signed within 28 days of wedding (Joanne Edwards of Forsters says: 'Generally, to stand the greatest chance of being upheld on divorce, a prenuptial agreement should be signed at least 28 days before the wedding date; in turn that means that the discussions around it should start at least 3 or 4 months before the wedding (and they can be signed up to a year before).
Ideally, the couple should agree principles and provisions between themselves – involve lawyers later on and only in the drafting.
Blame the parents! One often sees the requirement for a prenup written in the trust fund (such as 'beneficiary must enter into prenup on marriage, or will otherwise be disinherited').
It's never too late – if already married, you can get a 'postnuptial agreement'.
Be careful how you pitch it to your future spouse – framing it as an 'insurance policy' may be helpful.

BOSTON (AP) — Bobby Dalbec drove in a career-high five runs, Xander Bogaerts and Hunter Renfroe each had four RBIs and the Boston Red Sox routed the Tampa Bay Rays 20-8 Wednesday night.
The Red Sox moved within four games of the AL East-leading Rays with their highest-scoring game since 2015.
"Is this the start of something better? I hope so," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "We know where we're at. Right now, we got a wild-card spot, but that's not what we're shooting for. We're shooting for the division, and for that we have to play better. … I think we're getting there."
Tampa Bay had won five in a row overall and six straight against Boston. The Rays had not not allowed at least 20 runs since 2007.
J.D. Martinez got four of Boston's season-high 19 hits. The Red Sox began the first inning with three straight doubles by Kiké Hernández, Renfroe and Bogaerts and scored in bunches — they had innings in which they tallied six, five, four, three and two runs.
"Definitely a night that a lot of us was looking forward to," Bogaerts said. "The offense exploded, pitchers threw a good game. … As far as the offense, it was nice to see everyone pitch in."
Bogaerts' three-run homer highlighted a six-run burst in the eighth off Rays catcher Francisco Mejia, who moved from behind the plate to the mound.
"Lopsided losses happen and we certainly had one tonight," Rays manager Kevin Cash said. "Tonight, they just kept coming. They were ready to go right out of the gate."
Down 20-1, the Rays scored seven times in the ninth against Phillips Valdez, with Brett Phillips hitting his third career grand slam and Mike Zunino connecting for his 22nd homer.
Nathan Eovaldi (10-7) went seven innings, giving up one run on Brandon Lowe's 26th homer. He matched his season high with 10 strikeouts, allowing three hits and one walk.
Josh Fleming (9-6) was tagged for 10 runs on 11 hits and six walks in 3 1/3 innings.
Dalbec reached base five times with a triple, single, two walks and a hit by pitch.
The teams combined to score in seven different half-innings — there were frames of one, two, three, four, five, six and seven innings.
Boston manager Alex Cora announced he had demoted RHP Garrett Richards from the rotation to the bullpen. Richards joins RHP Martin Perez, who was demoted last week. Their rotation spots are expected to be taken by LHP Chris Sale, who is scheduled to be activated from the injured list on Saturday, and RHP Tanner Houck, the team's top pitching prospect. … Red Sox C Christian Vazquez was placed on the bereavement list prior to the game. C Connor Wong was recalled from Triple-A Worcester. ... Cora said closer Matt Barnes, who's had several rocky outings recently, including giving up four runs while getting just two outs in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday, is not expected to be available until Friday because of usage.
Rays: CF Kevin Kiermaier was out of the starting lineup again because of a sore right knee. Cash said he wanted to give him one more day to rest but expects him back in the lineup on Thursday. … 1B Ji-Man Choi was back in the lineup despite lingering hamstring soreness. Cash said it is something he thinks Choi will have to manage but expects to learn more day to day. … Cash said LHP Ryan Yarbrough, on the COVID-19 injured list, seems to be doing well. … RHP Nick Anderson (right elbow sprain) is scheduled to throw one inning or 20 pitches on Thursday with Triple-A Durham. … RHP Chris Archer (right lateral forearm tightness) is scheduled to throw three innings or 50 pitches Thursday for the rookie-level Florida Complex League Rays. ... RHP J.P. Feyereisen (right shoulder discomfort) and RHP Ryan Thompson (right shoulder inflammation) are both scheduled to throw 15 pitches of live batting practice on Friday.
Red Sox: Kyle Schwarber (right hamstring strain) could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester on Thursday. Acquired from Washington at the trade deadline, he has yet to appear in a game for the Red Sox. … Cora said OF/1B Danny Santana (left groin strain) and INF Christian Arroyo (left hamstring strain) could begin rehab assignments next week "if everything goes well." ... RHP Ryan Brasier (left calf strain), who has not appeared for Boston this season, began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Worcester and is expected to make another appearance on Thursday.
The Red Sox and Rays wrap up their three-game series on Thursday. Tampa Bay RHP Drew Rasmussen (1-1, 4.15 ERA) is scheduled to make his third start of the season and first since July 24. Acquired in a May trade with Milwaukee, this will be Rasmussen's first career appearance against Boston. The Red Sox did not announce a starter before Wednesday's game.


- To #DeleteFacebook or Not To #DeleteFacebook… Is that the Question?
Considering the Cambridge Analytica and #DeleteFacebook backlash, should brands be shifting their strategy around the platform?
As far as social media news comes, breaking stories regarding social platforms do not come any bigger than the still-developing furor surrounding the revelation that Facebook data for 50 million users was used by Cambridge Analytica to attempt to alter voting preferences during the 2016 US election.
Since the story broke, there have been claims that Facebook is over and that there is a mass exodus from the platform. That is something that would have huge ramifications for any brand that has a large social media strategy for marketing on the platform. For why would you want to spend a huge sum of money on a platform that supposedly is shrinking. Would your money be better spent shifting focus to another social platform?
#DeleteFacebook was tweeted or retweeted 277,165 times, generating 3,079,163,485 impressions across social media.
The most shared URL relating to the subject was a link to the stories whistleblower Christopher Wylie's Twitter update. It shows that his Facebook account was blocked following his revelation of the information regarding Cambridge Analytica. The URL was shared 43,322 times, with 74,635,323 impressions.
An initial call for users to delete their Facebook accounts actually came before the Cambridge Analytica revelations, driven by Jim Carrey posting on Twitter that he would be deleting his FB account and dumping his stock in the company, claiming the company "profited from Russian interference in our (US) elections".
It emerges that Cambridge Analytica acquired user data of 30 million Americans (50 million in total), including their location, their friends and content they had "liked". The data had been gathered by Aleksandr Krogan using a personality test app in 2014. The information was potentially used to influence users to vote for Trump in the 2016 US Election, though the company denies this.
As the story develops, Facebook responds by stating that it had given permission to Aleksandr Krogan to harvest the data using his app, but that he had violated Facebook's rules by providing it to Cambridge Analytica. Facebook found out about the breach in 2015 and had requested that Cambridge Analytica purge all data acquired from Krogan. Facebook claimed to have only learned from the news reports breaking now that not all the data had in fact been purged as requested.
Despite an initial outcry that Facebook had sold the data to Cambridge Analytica, this is not technically true.
Facebook allows the collection of user data through third-party apps, though it prohibits the distribution of this data to third parties in its terms. So whilst Aleksandr Krogan did have the platform's permission to harvest user data with his personality test app, he then personally delivered the data to Cambridge Analytica. This violates the rules around giving data to third parties.
Facebook discovered his actions in 2015 and demanded Cambridge Analytica to purge all of the user data. However, Facebook chose not to publicly disclose the fact that 50 million users' data had found its way to a third party. Cambridge Analytica decided to defy Facebook's request and retained parts of the data, though claims it played no part in the Trump 2016 presidential campaign that they worked on.
Since the story has come to light, Facebook is attempting to rebuild trust by altering its practices regarding user data. They have announced they will limit that data that will be available to advertisers who are using targeted ads. They will also stop offering anonymized data to information brokers.
So should companies be concerned about the platform moving forward?
It is impossible to suggest that this crisis has not had an impact on Facebook as a brand. The company has seen a huge drop in its share price. According to the BBC (among others), $37 billion was wiped off the value of the company.
As for the mass exodus of users that the volume of #deletefacebook posts may suggest, it may not be as dire as it looks. Figures compiled by Singapore-based marketing company Kepios, from reports by We Are Social and HootSuite, suggest that in fact site traffic is up since the event. It has increased by as much as 4.5% in the UK and 4.3% in the US. Though Inc. does suggest that some of this traffic may, in fact, be people "using Facebook to complain about Facebook".
What is yet to be seen though is whether this one case of information finding its way into the hands of third parties is a solitary example or just the tip of the iceberg. Since the story broke, a Reuters/Ipsos poll has found that "fewer than half of Americans trust Facebook to obey U.S. privacy laws", suggesting the company has some way to go before it can rebuild its reputation. However, Marketing Land posits that like YouTube before it, advertisers threatening to quit the platform are unlikely to follow through as long as their adverts on the platform continue to produce results!
Although the storm seems far from over for Facebook regarding the investigation into their distribution of user data, indications are that the platform will continue to attract just as many users each day. This means that companies' marketing spend on the platform will see no less success moving forward.

Q: destructure parameters with default value in typescript If I have the following module src/mod.ts in typescript:
export interface Foo {
  foo?: number
}
export function bar({foo = 1}: Foo = {}) {
 ...
}

It compiles fine, and I can use it within the package. However, when I compile to dist/mod.js and dist/mod.d.ts, the dist/mod.d.ts contains:
declare export function bar({foo}?: Foo)

which causes an error when consumed in another typescript package: Type 'Foo | undefined' has no property 'foo' and no string index signature.
I haven't been able to find complaints about this w/ google (though I may be mischaracterizing the problem), so I assume I am doing something wrong. How should I be destructuring an object with default values in typescript?

A: Try defining public properties in a class instead.
export interface Foo {
  foo?: number
}

 /** @class */
export class bar {
     public foo?: number;

     constructor(obj: Foo = {} as Foo) {
         let {
              /** Set defaults for the destructured object here */
             foo = 1
         } = obj;

         /** Hint: put jsdoc comments here for inline ide auto-documentation */
         this.foo = foo;
     }
}

// Usage

BizClim Best Practices Series, April 2009
This Desktop Study provides an overview of relevant good practice for a legal and institutional enabling environment for PPPs in infrastructure sectors in COMESA. It also begins to consider how a regional approach can contribute to the growth of infrastructure PPPs (including those of a crossborder nature), as well as the sharing of knowledge across Member Countries, and the building of capacity within them.

Saint-Julien-en-Genevois is een gemeente in het Franse departement Haute-Savoie (regio Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes). Saint-Julien-en-Genevois telde op   inwoners. De plaats maakt deel uit van het arrondissement Saint-Julien-en-Genevois.

Geschiedenis
De naam van de gemeente verscheen voor het eerst in een akte in 1253. De plaats bleef tot de 16e eeuw in de schaduw van het nabijgelegen Ternier, een marktplaats waar de graven van Ternier zetelden. In 1537 kreeg Saint-Julien een eigen markt, maar toch bleef de plaats relatief onbelangrijk tijdens het ancien régime. In 1603 werd hier het vredesverdrag tussen Savoye en Genève gesloten (Vrede van Saint-Julien van 21 juli 1603) na de militaire nederlaag van Karel Emanuel I van Savoie tegen de Genevers in de Slag van l'Escalade in 1602.

Na de Franse Revolutie werd Saint-Julien Frans in het departement Léman. Na de nederlaag van Napoleon kwam de gemeente bij het koninkrijk Sardinië. In 1860 werd Saint-Julien definitief Frans maar door de douanevrije zone met Zwitserland (Grande Zone Franche) bloeide de handel met Genève. Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd deze Grande Zone Franche afgeschaft, maar Saint-Julien bleef nauw verbonden met Genève door een kleinere douanevrije zone, die al bestond voor 1860 onder Sardijns bestuur, maar eerder remmend werkte op de industriële ontwikkeling van de gemeente.

Geografie
De oppervlakte van Saint-Julien-en-Genevois bedraagt 10,59 km², de bevolkingsdichtheid is 1.449 inwoners per km² (per 1 januari 2019).

De onderstaande kaart toont de ligging van Saint-Julien-en-Genevois met de belangrijkste infrastructuur en aangrenzende gemeenten.

The Problem of Abortion in Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway
Category: Writers, Books
Topic: Ernest Hemingway, Hills Like White Elephants
In Hemingway's 'Hills Like White Elephants,' Jig's moment of choice takes place in the particular area that will make her think about that choice most carefully.
The short story "Hills Like White Elephants," written by Ernest Hemingway, is about a young couple and the polemic problem of abortion. However, seeing that the phrase "abortion is located nowhere is the story, it is often understood via Hemingway's use of literacy elements: putting and imagery/symbolism. This story takes vicinity in a very short period of time, however yet tells a tale that is tons greater than itself. The girl is named Jig, the place the man is recognized virtually as "a man" or "The American." Although the relationship between the two is not sure of, they are sincerely not married, but have continued a relationship which resulted in the female turning into pregnant. It looks that the couple are travelers who stop in distinct cities before shifting on to the next. However, to the reader, their relationship could play out as being shallow.
Jig is a younger female who is pregnant. The whole center of attention of this story is Jig being pregnant, and the subject matter of abortion being added up through the different scenes and pics Hemingway employs. Hemingway's motive in creating the persona of Jig was once possibly reflective on his feelings on abortion to an extent. However, it can also seem like a seem to be at human nature, about how we go in opposition to ourselves and do something undesired simply to please anyone else. The man, otherwise acknowledged as "The American", is the solely logical antagonist in the story. Hemingway's portrayal of him is less flattering than his portrayal of Jig. He comes off as being insensitive to Jig's feelings, regardless of his type words. As the reader, unique opinions that Hemingway portrayed the man as, leads us to consider that he is anyone who is putting his personal desires first. He is no longer given a appropriate first identify in the story, while Jig is. His desire is not clear on the matter.
From the first paragraph the setting straight away introduces the disturbing ecosystem that will mirror the rest of the story. The story takes place in Spain and even though the time duration is in no way stated, it can be assumed to be around 1927. The first use of imagery is in Hemingway's introduction of the placing of the story, "The hills across the valley of the Ebro had been lengthy and white. On this side there was no shade and no trees and the station was once between two lines of rails in the sun. The American and the female with him sat at a desk in the shade, outside the building. It used to be very warm and the specific from Barcelona would come in forty minutes. It stopped at this junction for two minutes and went to Madrid." Just like the two rail traces that surpassed with the aid of the station, there had been only two options and two instructions in which the couple had to decide as they seemed to be in the middle of making a drastic decision. She seemed to care a superb deal about the man, to the factor where she as a character, is torn between two decisions. The landscapes and surroundings of the station play a necessary role in the story thru its wide symbolism. When the female sees the long and white hills she says that they "look like white elephants". A white elephant is a metaphor for an expensive possession that is a financial burden to maintain. The colour white seems to characterize the innocence and purity of her unborn child.
She additionally admires the relaxation of the scenery: "The lady stood up and walked to the stop of the station. Across, on the different side, had been fields of grain and trees alongside the financial institution of the Ebro. Far away, past the river, have been mountains. The shadow of a cloud moved throughout the field of grain and she noticed the river through the trees" It seems that the fields of grains and timber characterize fertility and fruitfulness. The Ebro River should also represent life, as it develops the fields. As the female appreciates the surroundings and it's "connection" to her unborn infant the "shadow of a cloud," which represents the idea of the abortion, overcomes her happiness. The man is obviously in choose of the abortion, as the entirety he says is an in persuading her into it. "It's in reality an incredibly easy operation, Jig." the man said. "It's now not genuinely an operation at all." "I'll go with you and I'll stay with you all the time. They just let the air in and then it's all flawlessly natural." They sat down at the table and the girl appeared throughout the hills on the dry aspect of the valley and the man appeared at her at the table. As Jig considers his point of view she appears at the dry aspect of the valley, which is barren and sterile, which ought to signify her physique after the abortion. The man and female argue and quickly give up when she says "Would you please please please please please please please please end talking? He did now not say whatever however looked at the bags in opposition to the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the lodges the place had spent nights."
The American apparently wishes this abortion because he wants to maintain his cutting-edge lifestyle. His vivacious spirit is shown via the baggage with all the hotel labels on them. He realizes that if Jig have been to continue with the pregnancy, he would have to settle down and reflect onconsideration on elevating a family, which would suggest putting an stop to seeing the world. Their lifestyle would now not be possible with a baby, or at least it would be difficult to proceed in its modern form. Therefore, the man thinks an abortion is the fine solution. This is very a great deal clear due to his prevalent affirmations of an abortion or operation being an "easy" and "simple" process, and that matters will be as they have been after it is carried out. His comments of "I don't choose absolutely everyone however you" and "I don't choose all people else" illustrate his wish to maintain their relationship at it is by way of now not introducing a infant into their life. Jig has obvious doubts, but she goes along with it for the sake of persevering with their way of life that they are accustomed too.
As the story ends with the couple watching for their train's arrival in five minutes, there is no decision and there is no decision mentioned related to the abortion. Hemingway's interweaving of the two literacy elements, placing and imagery helps him supply to the reader each sentence with most detail. It is obvious that Hemingway deliberately left the readers to conclude for themselves what will happen next.
"Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway was once by using a long way one of the fine memories that I enjoyed reading. Looking beyond the text in this story required integral thinking that persisted to continue to be interesting. The use of images throughout the short story reflects on the couple's scenario in every aspect. The writer employs snap shots that required the reader to assume past the textual content and realize what some common younger couple went via in the 1920's. Although the couple's relationship played out as being shallow for the duration of the story, I experience that the abortion never took location as he realizes that his selfish questioning used to be now not the quality decision to live off.
