This video was a lot of fun. Moving out of the Summer months and into Fall, I've had way more opportunities lately to work on things non wedding related, which is nice every once and a while for a change. BlackPoint IT hired me about 4 or so months ago to shoot some customer testimonials for them during their tech fair that took place at the Microsoft Civica Building last week. They decided to also have me shoot and edit a short highlight video showing off some of the highlights of the tech fair.
Now I'll be the first to tell you that technology fairs are not necessarily the most exciting or visually stimulating events to shoot in the world. It involves a lot of people standing around, either talking or listening to presentations. I was fortunate that the group (BlackPoint IT) that hosted this event was full of rowdy (yet professional) employees who wanted to make sure everybody had a good time but also learned a thing or two in the process. Their good will and lively spirit combined with some great food/drinks and around 50 different product giveaways, made this day a really fun event for everybody involved!
I tried to use a few fun editing techniques as well as a great soundtrack (courtesy of The Music Bed – http://www.themusicbed.com) and some fun "nat" pops of different various presentations to really keep up the momentum to make a stimulating and enjoyable highlight video. Hope you enjoy!
Make sure you have fun!
Every wedding and video shoot has its own unique challenges and forces us to learn and re-adapt. Today's post and lesson is, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE FUN!
*Author's note – This is basically just me taking a few moments to reflect on how lucky I've been to have had such an amazing string of wonderful clients over the last few months.
There's been a common trend lately with all of my wedding couples that has led to successful, beautiful and emotional wedding videos for each and every one of them. You wanna know what that trend is? They all had FUN!
I am blessed to get to work with amazing clients who let me accompany them on one of, if not THE most important day of their lives, and believe me it's a lot of pressure. As stressful as it might be (for me, it's always stressful for them, lol) having warm and inviting couples who just want to have fun makes the day go by that much more smoothly.
It's not always easy however, lately my wedding parties have had to overcome unpleasant weather (rain and wind), long days and hectic timelines, but I can't think of a time over the last 20 weddings or more where there wasn't a smile on all of our faces. Wedding planning and wedding experiencing (for the bride and groom) is a once in a lifetime thing and they rarely know what to expect once the day actually begins.
One of the jobs of a wedding photographer or videographer is to at least TRY to make the day as smooth and positive as possible. If a bride or groom doesn't want to have fun during their wedding however, there's not much we can do. Luckily this hasn't been a problem lately and therefore my job has been just a little easier!
Whether it's the singing and dancing in the hotel room while the bride gets ready, or it's the wisecracks the groomsmen throw at the groom trying to get him to break into laughter during the portrait taking, every single one of these moments adds to my enjoyment of the day as well as the couple actually getting married. I've also had a ton of wonderful parent's lately (of both the bride and groom) and whether they were looking out for ME, making sure I had food and drink or they were trying to orchestrate around some of the extended family for group pictures, their presence lately has been a wonderful touch as well.
Basically besides wanting to showcase a fun little picture from our latest Newcastle Golf Club wedding (the featured image for this blog) and gush about how awesome my clients have been lately, I just want to remind everybody that wedding planning, and wedding "experiencing" is supposed to be fun. So make sure you smile, hug your girlfriends or snag that extra kiss with your husband or wife. It's your day, experience the way that YOU want and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
"Reid is awesome! My husband and I used his videography services for our wedding and are thrilled with how the videos turned out. Even in the wind and rain we had that day, Reid was dedicated to capturing our big day and he did a wonderful job. He is clearly passionate about his work. Highly recommend!!
The fun started immediately upon entering the Hotel Maxwell (where they both got ready). Matt had some antique umbrellas that Erin had bought/rented and was showing them off. They were "rain-resistant" as Matt called them (even though they were antique,) "good!" I thought, I do prefer rain-resistant umbrellas compared to the other available models, lol.
Since we had a little bit of extra time (as the dressing of the bride was taking a little longer than expected) I was able to rush upstairs and get some extra footage of her getting ready with her bridal party. She was laughing and yelling out how nervous, yet excited she was to be getting married in mere hours. She even started talking to the camera, telling her future self about how excited and joyful she was at that moment.
After a quick first look and a few photos in the hotel lobby, we rushed over to the church (Sacred Heart near Seattle Center) where the photographer and I actually got locked outside in the rain when we tried to enter a backdoor and thus cut down on the travel distance where we would have to haul our gear. After getting let in a backdoor, we then found ourselves locked INside the church, before we finally got led upstairs to where the ceremony would be taking place.
What followed was a touching church service / wedding ceremony which was attended by all sorts of family and friends. When the mass ended, we took a large number of group shots inside on the altar before we left with the bride and groom and headed down to Pike Place Market to do wedding party photos.
Pike Place can be a chaotic place on most weekend days and this was no different. The rains had subsided and the sun was even peeking out a little bit and thus people were swarming the market EVERYWHERE! lol Embracing the crowds the photographer and myself took some fun photos / footage of the wedding party interacting with the market (picking fruit, walking down the paths) trying to incorporate some of the chaos into some truly unique wedding moments. I even took it upon myself to capture some video / sound of local bands and artists playing songs throughout the market to later incorporate into the final video edit.
We wrapped at the market and made our way down to the Seattle Waterfront (as the reception was taking place at the Seattle Aquarium). The storms had left some amazing clouds in the sky that really glowed in the light of the sunset. Although it was a little chilly (and very windy!) the bride and groom did a great job rounding the troops for a few more memorable images before quickly retiring into the reception area for a night of drinking and dancing.
What could have very easily been a miserably long day (just in terms of bracing the wind and rain) was made fun and enjoyable by such an easy-going bride and groom. Not once during the entire day did a smile ever leave their faces. They maintained a positive spirit throughout and I know it will show as much in their wedding photos as it does in the final wedding video. You can't always count on the rain when it comes to your wedding day, but as long as you maintain the right attitude you can count on yourself and your positivity to get you through anything that mother nature can throw your way!
We had an even bigger site redesign!
Every wedding and video shoot has its own unique challenges and forces us to learn and re-adapt. Today's post and lesson is, WE HAD AN EVEN BIGGER SITE REDESIGN!
Never being one to do anything small, I was so inspired by my recent small additions and changes to the website that I spent a good deal of time over the weekend retooling and reworking the entire site. I went through and added new dynamic video banners for all of the main sections which I think will make my page stand out from some of the other competition in the area. It really pops when you first enter the main page, and the experience carries over as you browse the various portfolios of videos or even the contact / pricing pages.
I went through and reformatted some of the video portfolios, highlighting certain videos for both "corporate" and "weddings" and I also added some new forms on the contact page so I can get a better idea of where my new customers are finding me.
The dynamic video banners only work on the desktop site however (due to making it more optimized for the mobile version) but customers browsing the site on their cell phones or tablets so have some great, vibrant images in place of the video banners that I hope will be appealing as well.
All of this is done in an attempt to appeal to new customers finding my site either through web searches or my profiles on WeddingWire or The Knot. I want the first impression that customers have of my site to be a pleasant and memorable one, and I am confident the changes I have implemented (both large and small) with do exactly that!
We had a small site redesign!
Every wedding and video shoot has its own unique challenges and forces us to learn and re-adapt. Today's post and lesson is, WE HAD A SMALL SITE REDESIGN!
In an attempt to always stay current and visually appealing, I incorporate a small site redesign over at http://www.bestmadeweddingvideos. I finally figured out a way how to create a video background on the landing page and I could not be happier with how it looks. I used some recent footage from our beautiful Newcastle wedding and built a small video intro that welcomes all visitors to the site in a creative and fun way.
It certainly took a little bit of effort and a little but of "coding" which I know nothing about, but I think it enhances the site and adds to the professional yet playful attitude I show with the business.
I also did a little revamping of the pricing sheet (adding some new images) as well as adding some direct links from the cover page to client specific areas – weddings, corporate, blog, contact, etc. to hopefully give users an easier time getting to the important areas of the site that they want to check out.
I spend a lot of my time going through other websites, either direct competitors or other industries all together, to see if there are any lessons I could learn and incorporate into my own site. I always try to be self-critical but I really do enjoy the simple, straightforward look of my website. I think it lets the videos shine, it's easy to maneuver, and it doesn't bog the client down with too many details which is tough especially when it comes to things like pricing lists.
As I post this video and make it live on the internet, I truly believe this is the finest wedding video I've had the opportunity to create. From the imagery to the music to the sometimes off-beat creative decisions I made during the editing process, I could not be more proud of the final product.
When I shared this on Facebook I stated that this was the epitome of what I try to do as a wedding videographer, and I stand by that statement. The beautiful images created during the sunset over The Golf Club at Newcastle would be reason enough to include this video at the top of my professional portfolio, but there's so much more. The sheer joy seen in the bride's face as she joked around with her bridesmaids while they got ready, the small talk shared between the groom and his boys while taking pictures, the smile on the father of the bride's face when he got to dance with his daughter during the reception, all these little moments come together to create something truly magical.
"It is the job of a wedding videographer to capture your big day and give you a product that you can cherish forever", I written these words before, but it really is a monumental task. Taking 8 or 10 hours of a wedding day and basically boiling it down to an 8 min video (in this case) that represents the feelings and emotions of the day is something I take great pride in. I take great care including all those little moments that don't always translate in photos. Wedding photography is a fantastic way to capture your day, but I really do believe that video sometimes can add a little more. Not only do I capture the photos, but I capture the moments between the photos. The laughter, tears or even both that are shared between you and your bridal party are the moments that you will want to look back on in 10, 20 or 30 years, and it will be your wedding video that gives you the opportunity to do that. Seeing the dance floor come together with everybody singing in unison, or watching the look on your husband's face as he swings the door open to take your through your sparkler send off and into the night, these are the moments I really enjoy capturing and these are the moments that I am pleased to include in your wedding video so you can remember them always.
I was glad to receive positive feedback from the couple on this video. They are currently honeymooning abroad and I am always happy to be able to share their wedding video with them (usually in under 72 hours) so that they can relieve the moments when they are still fresh in their minds. I pride myself on having all my videos done for the couple to view on their honeymoon and this one was no different!
I hope you enjoy watching the video as much as I enjoyed putting it together. I sincerely love the work that I do as a wedding videographer and I hope I can continue it for years to come!
Some Images from our recent Newcastle Wedding!
I'm so excited about finishing up my most recent wedding video that I wanted to share some beautiful sunset images from The Golf Club at Newcastle. An easy going bride and groom combined with an amazing venue and spectacular sunset led to some truly one-of-a-kind images that I could not be more proud to share. Stayed tuned later this week for the finished video product but in the mean time feast your eyes on these!
Seattle is a beautiful place to shoot a video!
Every wedding and video shoot has its own unique challenges and forces us to learn and re-adapt. Today's post and lesson is, SEATTLE IS A BEAUTIFUL PLACE TO SHOOT A VIDEO!
We are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Every time I meet a client out on a beautiful Seattle day I am thankful that I live in such a scenic and visually appealing area. Even today just driving down the street from my office/home in West Seattle to shoot a Kickstarter video/interview with a client, it's amazing the type of backdrop that is available for us here in the Pacific Northwest.
I think it's something I often take for granted. I shoot video from time to time for video companies not located in Seattle. Whenever they hire me to shoot local interviews, I usually end up bringing the client to either Alki beach or Kerry Park near Queen Anne. Their feedback is always the same, "That's an amazing shot! Where did you find that location??" It's always funny when they realize that "my spot" on Alki is basically just along a sidewalk where hundreds of people walk everyday, and Kerry Park is just as accessible as any other park in Seattle.
It makes my job easy however as some days, such as today with a beautiful hazy Seattle skyline, I just have to set up the camera and hit record. Nothing fancy, lol. You just have to know what you have to work with and try not to reinvent the wheel.
Even the wedding we shot on Sunday at Salty's on Alki (and the same venue where we will get married next summer) had one of the most incredible views of Seattle that you could ever see. I spoke with my fiancé on Sunday about how I think most of our wedding guests are going to be very pleasantly surprised with how beautiful our wedding venue is, simply because I doubt most of them even realize that type of view exists.
It's funny because I walk by that same view almost every day (at least during the summer months) when I talk our dog for a walk and I never truly stop to appreciate it as much as I should. Sure I shoot plenty of interviews out there, even a music video or two, but it really is a fantastic spot and one that I should be grateful is basically in my backyard. I guess there's nothing else to do but keep snapping pretty pictures when I walk by, and to continue shooting videos out there in an attempt to make everyone else in the country jealous that they don't live in nearly as beautiful as place a we do!

Q: What is the difference between running pyspark program with and without cluster? I have a program that contain few lines of functions that uses pyspark (the rest is normal Python).
The portion of my code that uses pyspark:
X.to_csv(r'first.txt', header=None, index=None, sep=' ', mode='a')

# load the dataset
rows = np.loadtxt('first.txt')

rows = sc.parallelize(rows)

mat = RowMatrix(rows)
start_time = time.time()  #to calculate the execution time of the function bellow

# compute SVD
svd = mat.computeSVD(20, computeU=True)

exemple_one = time.time() - start_time
print("---Exemple one : %s seconds ---" % (exemple_one))

first.txt is a text file that has 2346x27 matrix
0.0 0.0 ... 0.0 0.0 0.06664409020350408 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 .... 0 0.0 0.0

Is there any difference between running my program on a cluster (as YARN) and running it on my own machine using (Python command)? And what are these differences.

A: There are no differences in terms of the result you will get.
Depending on your workload, you might have resource issues when running locally.
Spark enables you to use a resource manager (such as YARN) in order to scale your application by acquiring executors from the resource manager.

The Library of Congress > Researchers > Search Finding Aids > William McGuire papers, 1868-1998
William McGuire papers, 1868-1998
The papers of William McGuire (1917- ) span the years 1868-1998, with the bulk of the material dating from 1967 to 1997. The collection contains personal and professional correspondence, subject files, editorial and research material, production and working files, and other publishing material relating primarily to McGuire's career as an editor for the Bollingen Series, a program of publications sponsored by the Bollingen Foundation. The papers also include similar material concerning the publication of McGuire's books Bollingen: An Adventure in Collecting the Past, a history of the foundation published in 1982, and Poetry's Catbird Seat, a history of the Consultant in Poetry program at the Library of Congress commissioned and published by the Library in 1988. The collection contains research photocopies and transcripts in German and is organized in the following series: Bollingen Series Publications, Office File, Writings by McGuire, and Miscellany.
The Bollingen Series, established in 1943, was funded by Mary and Paul Mellon as a publishing program to bring the writings of the Swiss analytical psychologist C. G. Jung and other works on comparative religion, myth, and literature to the English-speaking public. The program was sponsored by Paul Mellon's Old Dominion Foundation until 1945 when the Bollingen Foundation, another Mellon philanthropy, took control and was published by Pantheon Books. In 1961, the Bollingen Foundation assumed publication until 1967 when the Princeton University Press became publisher. The Bollingen Series was given outright to the press in 1969, and the foundation became inactive. In addition to these papers, the Library of Congress also maintains related collections available to researchers, including the records of the Bollingen Foundation, the C. G. Jung Papers, and the records of the Frances G. Wickes Foundation.
The Bollingen Series published original works, translations of writings previously unavailable in English, and new editions of classics. It consists of one-hundred multivolume titles, constituting more than 250 separate volumes. The Bollingen Series Publications series contains correspondence, drafts, research and working papers, production material and other items relating to specific titles edited and published by McGuire in several editorial capacities. The core of the Bollingen Series was the publication of a complete edition of the writings of Jung. As executive editor of The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, McGuire was central to the production of this complex, collaborative effort, which, at twenty numbered volumes and a supplementary volume, was the single most ambitious entry in Bollingen's catalog. In addition to the collected works, McGuire was also editor of The Freud/Jung Letters, Dream Analysis, published notes on seminars conducted by Jung, and co-editor with R. F. C. Hull of C. G. Jung Speaking. The Bollingen Series Publications series documents the planning and publication of these and other volumes related to Jung's life and work, reflecting the production values and editorial complexities of their publication as well as the concerns of the psychological communities they represent.
The Bollingen Series published other volumes in a wide range of subjects including, in comparative religion and mythology, Joseph Campbell's The Mythic Image, The I Ching, and the Essays of Erich Neumann; in literature, collected editions of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Paul Valéry, and Miguel de Unamuno; the poetry of Saint-John Perse; Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov's translation of Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin's Eugene Onegin; and in the fine arts, Max Raphael and The A. W. Mellon Lectures in the Fine Arts, a series of lectures delivered each year at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Files relating to these and many other authors and titles are contained in the Bollingen Series Publications file. The series also contains correspondence and memoranda exchanged between McGuire and various editors, translators, and associates, including Joseph Campbell, K. R. Eissler, Anna Freud, Ernst L Freud, R. F. C. Hull, Aniela Jaffé, Franz Jung, Hans Karrer, Ralph Manheim, Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov, Kathleen Raine, and Wolfgang Sauerländer.
McGuire became an editor with the Bollingen Series in 1948. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s he was managing editor, and in 1967, when the series was transferred to the Princeton University Press, he joined the staff of the press as an associate editor until his retirement in 1982. The Office File contains correspondence, administrative records, and subject files maintained by McGuire, mostly as associate editor of the Bollingen Series publication office at the Princeton University Press. Administrative records contain information on book distribution and sales, editorial procedures, and publication policy including files pertaining to rejected or unpublished project proposals. Subject files contain personal reference material including files devoted to Sigmund Freud, Jung, and related topics. The Bollingen Series became increasingly involved with the reissue of titles in paperback and foreign editions. The Office File contains material relating to these issues and includes correspondence with German publishers Rascher Verlag and its successor, Walter Verlag, and British publisher Routledge & Kegan Paul. The Office File also includes McGuire's correspondence with various colleagues and staff members, including Gerhard Adler, Herbert Smith Bailey, John D. Barrett, Huntington Cairns, Vaun Gillmor, Dorothy Léger, and Paul Mellon.
The Writings by McGuire series is largely devoted to files assembled for the research and publication of two books, Bollingen: An Adventure in Collecting the Past and Poetry's Catbird Seat. The series includes correspondence, research material, drafts, notes, and outlines and includes copies of speeches delivered by McGuire that were derived from the former volume. With the publication of his history of the Bollingen Foundation, McGuire chronicled the activities and accomplishments of Bollingen projects and publications, and his research material is a rich source of information on personalities and topics central to the organization and development of the enterprise. Correspondence exchanged between Mary Mellon and Jung is of interest for the light it casts on the details of a relationship that became the inspiration for the creation of Mellon's cultural foundation.
In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of its Consultantship in Poetry, the Library of Congress commissioned McGuire to write a book about the history of the program, Poetry's Catbird Seat. The Writings by McGuire series consists of research and working files covering all the poetry consultants and the first poet laureate and includes material similar to that gathered for his Bollingen history. Based on interviews and on research in various collections of the Library of Congress, the book reveals much about the lives of the individual poets, the conduct of cultural affairs by a government agency, and the place of poetry in our national life. McGuire's research files document the background, appointment, and service of each poet and include some original correspondence with selected consultants.
The Miscellany series contains personal files concerning private consulting and editing projects and other subjects not directly related to McGuire's position as editor of the Bollingen Series. The series is composed mostly of files in support of independent editing and research projects, including his contributions to volumes one and two of Ian MacPhail's compilation Alchemy and the Occult: A Catalogue of Books and Manuscripts from the Collection of Paul and Mary Mellon Given to Yale University Library; editing of John C. Burnham's Jelliffe, American Psychoanalyst and Physician; and research for a proposed biography of Natacha Rambova, a Bollingen Fellow specializing in comparative symbolism and Egyptology. In addition to her Bollingen studies, McGuire's research also explores Rambova's careers as actress, costume and set designer, playwright, art director, and fashion designer and contains files relating to her husband, silent-film actor Rudolph Valentino, and her friend and pupil, Maud Oakes. The series also includes correspondence and other items relating to Jung, reflecting McGuire's continuing interest in and contributions to Jungian scholarship.

Dr. Christian "Hope" Whitfield joins
Northern Regional Hospital physician team
Mount Airy, NC, August 15, 2022 –Dr. Christian "Hope" Whitfield, D.O., has joined the medical staff of Northern Regional Hospital to serve as a Hospitalist physician for inpatients at the nationally recognized, 5-Star, 133-bed community hospital. A board-certified physician, Dr. Whitfield recently finished her internal medicine residency at McLaren Greater Lansing Hospital in Lansing, Michigan, where she served as chief resident of internal medicine her final year of residency.
"We are delighted to welcome Dr. Whitfield to our Medical Staff. She embodies the blend of knowledge and compassion we try to bring to all our patients. We know our patients will be well cared for and are excited to see her join the Hospitalists of Mount Airy team!"
Dr. Whitfield's love for medicine was instilled in her at an early age growing up in Northern Alabama. "My healthcare journey in a large part was inspired by my mother," said Whitfield. "Throughout my childhood I witnessed the strong work ethic, dedication to service, and passion for learning my mother portrayed as a registered nurse. Witnessing the severe impact of scoliosis on her later life, only further ignited my desire to become a physician."
Dr. Whitfield's approach to patient care: "Ultimately, I believe that empathy, listening, and intuition are the most important qualities in a physician. Patients don't care how educated you are if they don't feel heard and empowered to be an active participant in their own healthcare."
After graduating from the pre-health program at Gadsden Community College, Dr. Whitfield worked as a pharmacy tech while getting her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry from Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Alabama. She then went on to earn her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree from Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2019.
Dr. Whitfield recently started her position as Hospitalist, a specialist in in-patient care in the hospital. "I immediately fell in love with the area and people. North Carolina is beautiful, and the welcomeness I've felt from the entire group at Northern Regional is unmatched. I feel very supported and part of the team even though I just started," she said.
Dr. Whitfield and her fiancé, Nikos, met while she lived and studied in Michigan. They plan to be married in the spring. They enjoy the outdoors with their sweet dog, Charlie.

Constitutional Court declares ILO Convention 45 on Underground Work for Women innaplicable
"If we desire respect for the law, we must first make the law respectable"
Louis Brandeis.
By: Alexander Aizenstatd
It is an unacceptable contravention of the right to equality to deny a person access to an entire category of jobs only because she is a woman. Any rule that prevents a woman from accessing the employment of her choice, based only on her sex and not on her abilities, is discriminatory.
One would think that such rules are no longer in force, but that is not the case.
Article 2 of the International Labour Organization Convention 45 states that "No female, whatever her age, shall be employed on underground work in any mine…". This rule prohibits women from accessing a whole category of jobs. A female geologist could not work in a mine. A female heavy machinery operator could not enter a tunnel and would have to be replaced by a man.
Convention 45 represents a continuation of entrenched practices of discrimination which held women to be less capable than men, who cannot engage in activities which, because of their danger, require special training and which have traditionally been performed by men. They are represented in such a way that, because of a supposedly fragile condition, they should be prohibited from engaging in activities that are lawful for men. These notions are now incompatible with full equality under the law.
Convention 45, which dates from 1935 but was ratified by Guatemala until 1960, is a law in force and, as a human rights treaty, part of the constitutional block (see Constitutional Court case 1822-2011). Like other norms in this sense, it disguises as a supposed protection for women a norm that in essence is discrimination. By supposing that men are more capable for a job, it unjustifiably prevents women from the job of their choice.
Convention 45 contravenes the rights to equality, the right of women not to be discriminated against and the right to work, all guaranteed by articles 4, 24, 43, 101 and 102(a) of the Constitution, 6(a) of the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence against Women, and 3 of the Protocol of San Salvador.
Convention 45 is a law in force and is applied in Guatemala. I understand that in mines, female heavy machinery operators cannot enter tunnels. Therefore, they drive at the entrance where they must be replaced by men. For this reason, they also are paid less than men. If a subway were built in Guatemala, in application of that rule, women would be prevented from working there as well.
Due to the above, with the help of two lawyers, Sofia Escriba and Marjorie Bosque, I brought an action challenging the constitutionality of Article 2 of Convention 45. This action was identified as case 1985-2019 at the Constitutional Court. It is important to clarify that the action did not seek to have the treaty declared unconstitutional, which would contravene obligations under international law, but to have it denounced in accordance with its own provisions.
The denunciation became more and more important because according to the text of the same convention it can only be denounced every 10 years. This means that, if it is not denounced in time, it remains in force for another mandatory decade before it can be denounced again. The next period begins in 2020, if it is not filed in that year it will remain in force until 2030.
The case offered particular difficulties and is perhaps the only case where an international human rights treaty is clearly contrary to the Constitution and the right to equality contained in other treaties. My expectation was for the Court to resolve an incompatibility between two norms of constitutional hierarchy. It was also a clearly a unique opportunity for the Court to rule on the prohibition of discrimination against women.
From the outset, the case presented difficulties for the Constitutional Court. Generally, it takes 15 days to admit an unconstitutionality, in this case the Court took about 5 months for this process.
The other difficulty is that the Court has traditionally indicated that it will not hear an unconstitutionality presented against a treaty. But this case, because of the notoriety of the violation, had to test the limits of that jurisprudence.
Procedurally, the Court decided to suspend the proceeding. But the interesting thing about the case is not the suspension, but the its decision in that 13-page resolution, in which it declares that despite not resolving the unconstitutionality, it issues a directive for all public officials not to apply Convention 45.
The position is interesting, because it does not declare the treaty unconstitutional, but rather inapplicable for contravening constitutional rights. This has different jurisprudential effects, but in practice implies that this prohibition should not apply in Guatemala and women can be employed in these jobs. Indeed, on the basis of this ruling, an employer applying such prohibition would be considered discrimination.
There are other interesting issues of the ruling. The Court decides to suspend the procedure arguing that it cannot declare a treaty unconstitutional, since that would generate international responsibility. However, the Court declares it inapplicable. The action never requested a declaration of unconstitutionality, but rather a denunciation. The denunciation does not entail international responsibility, while on the other hand the non-application is a contravention that generates international responsibility. Although in this case the risks are minimal since the content of the treaty is widely recognized as discriminatory.
Another argument of the Court, quoting Victor Bazán, is in favor of an a priori preventive control of treaties, by means of an advisory opinion before entering into a treaty. This situation is useful and recommended for new treaties. But in the case under examination, it is a treaty prior to the Court itself and to a priori control in Guatemala. Therefore, this argument does not have much logic.
One issue of continuing concern is that the Court seems to recognize that international treaties exist in a sphere beyond constitutional control. Modern treaties generally reflect a congruence with human rights obligations, but this is not always the case, as the example demonstrates. There is also concern that the jurisprudence may generate international responsibility. In practice there is not much difference between declaring the unconstitutionality and inapplicability. Although the ruling fulfils the purpose of the action and is indeed a success, between to options the Court choose the option that violates international law. To not apply is to contravene, in order to avoid what the Court defines as a possible international responsibility with a declaration of unconstitutionality, it commits another with the same effect but one that is also a violation of international law. What would have been prudent and consistent with both national and international law would have been to order the denunciation of the treaty in accordance with its terms.
In this regard, it is a matter of concern that the area of jurisprudence outside constitutional control may be exploited by the legislative and executive branches in the future. They could sign a treaty with another country that allows indefinite re-election, under the shade of a political right. It would therefore be advisable for the Court to be more prudent in the face of other possible cases of treaties with human rights violations.
Interestingly, the Court, in spite of suspending the case, does recognize the unconstitutionality of the rule. To that effect, it indicates:
"It does not overlook the argument made by the plaintiff that the validity of the international agreement means that a conventional provision that discriminates against women continues to have effect, by regulating ´No female, whatever her age, shall be employed on underground work in any mine, which contradicts what is regulated in the Constitution and other conventional human rights statements."
And the solution is given with the non-application of the norm when indicating:
"If any controversy arises over the application of Article 2 of Convention 45…, the respective public authorities must opt for the provision of law, whether constitutional or international, that is more favourable to women workers…".
To get to that point and defend inapplicability, it tries to do so by means of a pro homine argument, which, while it may be a path, the example it gives is not the most fortunate. It tries to compare the case with the prohibition of applying the death penalty to pregnant women in the American Convention and the more favorable prohibition of applying it to all women in Article 18 of the Constitution. An example that instead of clarifying the issue, complicates it and has little practical application when the death penalty has been de facto abolished in Guatemala. Moreover, the laws of the Court's example do not contradict each other; applying the prohibition to all women includes pregnant women. The case under study presented a contradiction, the prohibition of underground work for women and the prohibition of discrimination are incompatible. Perhaps the Court did not find a better example, but the one it uses does not seem to contribute much.
The Court concludes by deciding to transfer to Congress and to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs the concern about the timely denunciation of the Convention, which implies its recommendation for denunciation. This is indispensable to avoid international responsibility but also to adjust the legal system to human rights protection standards. I hope that the authorities, under the possible leadership of the Minister of Labour, will take the opportunity to denounce this agreement as a manifestation of the prohibition of discrimination against women as a State policy.
In the meantime, based on this resolution, the Court has already issued a normative selection guideline to all public authorities, ordering them not to apply the Convention. This criterion must also be respected by private entities in the hiring of their personnel, both in this and in other jobs.


Often, a single interaction can make or break our opinion of something. And while it's possible to overcome a first impression, it takes a whole lot more work than just getting it right the first time.
Based on a first impression with a person, we may assume that person is either open or closed, warm or cold, focused or distracted, and so on. But what if that person is also representing a community?
A first experience with a community will leave an impression of whether it's an open or closed community, warm or cold, engaging or disengaging, interested, disinterested, or self-interested. But here's the rub: if you're a part of a community, somebody's first reaction to that community could be their interaction with you – whether you want to believe it or not.
As followers of Jesus of Nazareth, we are part of a global, multi-generational, multi-ethnic community that was established before the foundations of the earth. We are ambassadors for Christ and ministers of reconciliation.
What is true on the grand scale is also true on the local scale. And is even true on the personal scale. We are always ministers of the Good News of Jesus Christ. We always represent him and his body – the Church.
It is this way whether we know it or not. Whether we want to admit it or not. Whether we are warm or cold. Whether we're tired or energetic. Whether we – as individuals, as communities, as the Church universal – represent God well or poorly.
I'm asking them to myself. I'm not sure I like the answers.
Do you like the answers when you ask yourself?
What kind of first impression does your spiritual community give?
Do you like your answers to these questions?
If not, what can you do to change your answers?

Preview: Maybe it is time for Solskjaer's United to hammer the Hammers
20 July 2020 John Walker Feature, First Team, Managers, Match Previews, News, Opinion Comments Off on Preview: Maybe it is time for Solskjaer's United to hammer the Hammers
Manchester United -v- West Ham United
Wednesday 22 July 2020, KO 18:00 BST
Referee: Paul Tierney Assistants: Ian Hussin, Darren Cann
Fourth Official: Mike Dean Replacement Official: Natalie Aspinall
VAR: Peter Bankes Assistant VAR: Peter Kirkup
Manchester United return to action against West Ham United in the Premier League on Wednesday evening after being beaten by Chelsea in the semi-final of the Emirates FA Cup on Sunday evening. This is the final league match at the Theatre of Dreams this season and will be the penultimate match of the season at home. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will need to get his team firing in this game to stop the Hammer from doing the double over them this season and break into the top four.
If United beat David Moyes' side, they will rise up to third in the league with Chelsea due to face Liverpool in the later kick off on Wednesday, meaning that they could, if Chelsea beat Liverpool, still be fourth in the league going into the final match of the season against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. United will not win the FA Cup this season but they should at least ensure UEFA Champions League football.
Form: United have been in some good form recently but in the past three matches, the indications have been there that this team has weaknesses. It is time for them to stand up to West Ham.
Manchester United: LWDWWW
Chelsea 3-1 L, Crystal Palace 2-0 W, Southampton 2-2 D, Aston Villa 3-0 W, Bournemouth 5-2 W, Brighton and Hove Albion 3-0 W
West Ham United: WWLDWL
Watford 3-1 W, Norwich City 4-0 W, Burnley 1-0 L, Newcastle United 2-2 D, Chelsea 3-2 W, Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 L
Top Scorers: United will need to find a way to get Rashford, Martial and Greenwood scoring again after failing to find their form against Chelsea at Wembley.
Manchester United Goals: 22 – Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, 16 – Mason Greenwood, 9 – Bruno Fernandes, 5 – Odion Ighalo, Scott McTominay, 4 – Daniel James, 3 – Harry Maguire, Juan Mata, 2 – Fred, Own Goal, Jesse Lingard, Andreas Pereira, 1 – Diogo Dalot, Phil Jones, Victor Lindelof, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw, Brandon Williams, Ashley Young
Solskjaer's side has been in good form since the restart of the league and have now been defeated, which is a first for Bruno Fernandes at the club. United will need to hit back against the Hammers, going straight back to winning ways which would also see them take advantage of Leicester City dropping points after their defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. A victory over the Hammers would see United rise to third in the table, although Chelsea face Liverpool in the later kick off, which could see United stay there of slide to fourth – still an improvement.
West Ham United Goals: 9 – Michail Antonio, 7 – Sébastien Haller, 5 – Robert Snodgrass, 4 – Pablo Fornals, Mark Noble, Andriy Yarmolenko, 3 – Aaron Cresswell, Issa Diop, Tomas Soucek, 2 – Angelo Ogbonna, 1 – Fabián Balbuena, Jarrod Bowen, Javier Hernández, Felipe Anderson, Declan Rice, Jack Wilshere, Pablo Zabaleta
West Ham lie 16th in the Premier League table six points clear of the relegation zone with two matches left to play this season. It is quite possible that they will remain in the Premier League this season as they have a healthier goal difference compared to the teams below them. A win out of their next two will secure their position in the league for another season. David Moyes will be hoping that comes in this match.
Team News: Solskjaer has defensive worries ahead of West Ham clash; youth players might be added to the squad to add defensive cover.
Solskjaer could be without four defenders for the visit of the Hammers to the Theatre of Dreams. Axel Tuanzebe and Phil Jones remain on the sidelines, Luke Shaw may not be fit enough after missing the last two matches and Eric Bailly will be out for a period of time following his head injury against Chelsea at Wembley. Solskjaer might need to draft in one of Teden Mengi or Ethan Laird for this match. Solskjaer, speaking to the official Manchester United website, said:
"That's the way of a footballer's life, you need to get over this. We'll be ready for Wednesday. We know how huge those two games are, they're going to be massive for us and we're looking forward to it."
Moyes looks set to be missing two players ahead of his return to Old Trafford. Ryan Fredericks (calf/shin/heel) and Robert Snodgrass (lower back) set to be out of his squad, which might not be the biggest of problems for the veteran manager. The Hammers will be seeking to take three points from Old Trafford this season, doing the double over United this season, which would be devastating.
Predicted Starting XI: Top four or bust for United with UEFA Champions League football needed more than ever next season.
United will need to bounce back form their defeat to Chelsea, which was the first in four matches against Frank Lampard's side. With Leicester losing on Sunday, the chance to break into the top four, possibly at their expense is too much to lose for United. Putting the best available team out to get the result against the Hammers will be needed but it is not going to be easy. United have been pretty poor in their last three matches now.
Match Prediction: United have a lot to lose if they do not bounce back from their FA Cup semi-final defeat against West Ham on Wednesday at Old Trafford.
United and West Ham have played 47 times in the Premier League with United winning 28, drawing 12 and losing seven times. United have scored 94 goals conceding 43. United have kept 18 clean sheets with the Hammers keeping seven. United have won five penalties, scoring four with the Hammers winning two and scoring both. United have been shown 55 yellow cards with the Hammer having 71. United have had four red cards with the Hammers getting two.
Earlier this season, at the London Stadium, the Hammers beat United 2-0 with Andriy Yarmolenko and Aaron Cresswell scoring the goals. It was a tough defeat for United to take and after losing against Chelsea in the semi-final of the FA Cup on Sunday, Solskjaer's side should be looking to bounce back. In this fixture last season, United won with two Paul Pogba penalties which cancelled out Felipe Anderson's 49th minute equaliser.
Manchester United 2-1 West Ham United

Asunder by Jodi Meadows
DARKSOULS
Ana has always been the only one. Asunder. Apart. But after Templedark, when many residents of Heart were lost forever, some hold Ana responsible for the darksouls–and the newsouls who may be born in their place.
Many are afraid of Ana's presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable changes and the unknown. When sylph begin behaving differently toward her and people turn violent, Ana must learn to stand up not only for herself but for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
Ana was told that nosouls can't love. But newsouls? More than anything, she wants to live and love as an equal among the citizens of Heart, but even when Sam professes his deepest feelings, it seems impossible to overcome a lifetime of rejection.
In this second book in the Incarnate trilogy, Ana discovers the truth about reincarnation and will have to find a way to embrace love and make her young life meaningful. Once again, Jodi Meadows explores the extraordinary beauty and shadowed depths of the soul in a story equal parts epic romance and captivating fantasy.
So. Many. FEEEEEEEEEEEELS.
First of all, Jodi Meadows has this fantastic way of making readers consider the morals of reincarnation. One million souls who become experts in their area of specialty vs. new souls and their new, though less experienced, ideas? It's a question you have to wonder about in a story like this and I think Jodi has done a tremendous job trying to tackle that question throughout the first two books, and I'm betting the fantastic continues into the next.
Then there's the characters. They grow and change and learn so much. Everyone besides Ana has been alive for thousands of years, yet many of them are becoming someone new, someone they've never been before. It's remarkable to imagine people who have been the same, or very similar, for so long suddenly becoming different, all thanks to Ana. Strong, clever, and oh so kind Ana. It's hard not to love her. She's naive at times and make mistakes, but she learns fast and is always improving herself. And Sam. Oh Sam. Pardon me while I swoon? Sam continues to be an incredible love interest in Asunder. And there's also a new character introduced, who I absolutely ADORE, but I won't say anything else. Y'all will find him.
The relationships in Asunder are complex and wonderful and changing. Friendships are growing stronger. Some reveal their true nature. Every relationship evolves in some form and each is significant to the story as a whole. It's always lovely when each part of a book is super important, you know?
Then there is the story itself, where every piece falls into place, entwining perfectly. There's action and mystery and KISSING and just...*sigh* There are no words for the perfection of the story itself. It's pretty much everything I can ask for in a book.
And do I even have to talk about the perf of the writing? I've mention that she weaves an incredible story and introduces a very interesting, complex topic to consider. But she also has such a way with words that I can picture the world really well. I can see it all in my head and it makes sense and I feel like I'm in the story. I'm always utterly swept away and entranced by her words.
If you haven't read Incarnate, why are you reading this anyway? Go buy your copy and rejoice in its beauty. If you have, make sure you pick up Asunder today. This is NOT a sequel that disappoints.

Wednesday 29th Ocrober 2008 - A tale of DCMS efficiency
On 19 September, in response to the DCMS refusal to confirm that Feargal Sharkey had recently met DCMS officials to discuss Licensing Act exemptions for small gigs, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for:
'... details of all meetings organised or scheduled by DCMS between 01 January 2008 and 31 March 2009 for the purpose, or for purposes which include the purpose, of discussing draft exemptions from the Licensing Act 2003 for small-scale live music. The details should include names and job titles of those attending, or scheduled to attend. In the case of meetings already held by the time of the decision on this FoIA request, I request that the meeting minutes also be published.'
The phrase 'or for purposes which include the purpose' comes from the Licensing Act itself, specifically paragraph 2(1) of the entertainment Schedule 1. This lists descriptions of potentially licensable entertainment '...where the entertainment takes place in the presence of an audience and is provided for the purpose, or for purposes which include the purpose, of entertaining that audience.'
DCMS confirmed receipt of my FoIA request that afternoon. Curiously, however, the text had been altered. The 'purposes' phrase and the final sentence concerning meeting minutes were missing. I raised this immediately and was given a written assurance that the text would be 'addressed in its entirety'.
But on 16 October, in a holding response from DCMS, these sections of my text were again missing. Once again I raised this immediately. The response was slower this time. On 21 October, an official replied by email with a vague undertaking to address the 'request for notes of meetings'. I replied asking that they address the full, original FoIA request. There was no reply.
After waiting a further week I phoned the Department. Why the delay? What is the problem with the request? Answer: We couldn't understand the bit about 'purposes which include the purpose'.


This power center is built with four MS4448PAE inverter-charger units to supply 16kW of continuous energy. The supplied Magnum Panel enclosure provides the space fo the proper circuit protection and safe connections. The Magnum Panel includes inverter input breakers, main DC disconnect breaker (175A or 250A), inverter AC input and output cables, data communication cables, AC system by pass switch, DC shunt, inverter hoods (one per inverter) and router mounting bracket.


Ethan Peck is an American born actor, best known for his roles in the movies The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010), and In Time (2011), and the ABC series 10 Thing I Hate About You (2009). He has also made recurring appearances on the ABC television series Madam Secretary (2016-2017) and the CW Seed series, I Ship It (2016- ). In addition to movies and television, Ethan has done work on video games voicing Gabriel Thorne in Halo 4 (2012) and Halo 5:Guardians (2015), as well as various voices on Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (2013). This season, Ethan takes on the iconic role of Spock on Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All Access (2019).


Gutterglove fits on virtually any existing rain gutter. It was designed that way! No special brackets or lowering of your gutters is necessary! Gutterglove's specifications were designed so that it simply slips under the roof shingles and fits snuggly to the front lip of your gutter.
There are no gaps between the gutter and the gutter guard.
Gutterglove will retro fit on most existing gutters.
Gutterglove is installed under the first layer roofing and secured onto the front lip of the gutter.
Gutterglove has a 25-year manufacturer's limited warranty, and a no-clog guarantee.
As far as water flow capacity, Gutterglove can handle up to 150 inches of hourly rainfall as demonstrated on water displays at home and garden shows, so it's great for rain water harvesting.
Our research shows that the pounding rain and wind combined with the slope of the roof "splash off" most sand, pollen, leaves, and other debris naturally. This design feature provides excellent performance year after year.
Painted colors are not needed because Gutterglove is not easily seen from the ground. It stands up about 1/8th of an inch above the front lip of the gutter, and is recessed back about 1/8th of an inch from the front lip of the gutter.
Each 5-foot section seams together with a metal fastener called a "Finger." A finger is an aluminum fastener that neatly, accurately and firmly locks the sections in place by fitting into "grooves" on each side of the aluminum channel that supports the stainless steel mesh. The fingers have a slight pitch upwards along the length of their middle that drains water back into the mesh. Other companies generally use caulking to seam sections together, which will later crack, tear or peel in the sun.
On outside corners we seam the sections together with a fastener called a "Thumb." Like the fingers, the thumbs are a little larger and decoratively seam together the two sections making a sealed enclosure. End caps seal off Gutterglove at the end of a gutter. This helps keep bugs, birds and animals out.


The most vividly ornate scrolled patterns dance across this striking Victorian intaglio wax seal fob pendant, the perfect accessory for women who love statement jewellery.
Stand out from the crowd wherever you go with this striking Victorian pendant. Created over a century ago, one can only admire the skilled craftsmanship that went into creating this piece, the attention to detail is next to none!
With a vast array of textures creating a lively display of golden tones as she catches the light, contrasting beautifully to the dark, forest green Bloodstone it grasps on its base.
The inscribed lettering reads "nec metuas nec optes", which translates to "neither fear nor desire" adding to this fob's rich historic past and making for a wonderful piece of collectable antique jewellery.
This Victorian intaglio wax seal fob pendant is in superb antique condition throughout. The scrolled patterns are deep and clear with very minor wear and the intaglio is deep and fully functional. The Bloodstone is striking and smooth with a couple of tiny nibbles in keeping with age. All in all a great piece of antique jewellery ready to be worn and enjoyed for many years to come.


Technification is an improvement and development process in the personal and sporty scope of the player, from the moment a projection is detected for practicing a sport until his/her arrival at the highest level. We could say that it is the process that serves as a link between the base sport and the high level, so it is broad in time.
The custom training /reduced groups method that we apply in Dynamo Stars, deepens and focuses basically on enhancing and obtaining the maximum football performance of each player. It is an individualized complement of the player aimed at reinforcing the skills and attitude of the player, to prepare him/her for high competition.
The sessions will be held in groups of 1 to 3 players.

Choosing the best therapist to deal with your circumstances will enable you to see how good and beneficial they are, especially in providing you solace during times of great difficulty, guiding you and also, giving you perspective that are unbiased and trained. That is not it at all as it has been said as well that a good counselor has the ability of assisting you in working through your past issues and traumas which led you to become the person you are today, in the hopes that your choices as well as your perspective in the future will improve. As humans we are, there are so many things that we experience such as an abusive relationship, grief, trauma and also, addiction and because of this, we need the help of counselors to help us navigate these issues and guide us to become the best versions of ourselves, If you are going to look for a good and reliable counselor, there are quite a number of things that you have to take into account like browsing the net.

Highly recommended by Little Big Sports!
We bought this goal for our 7 year old's birthday and it was instantly a huge hit with him and the other 9 boys at his party. He has been happily scoring goals (or making us try whilst he is goalie) ever since and we haven't shown him the rebound net yet!

Q: Ruby Shoes: using .click on an image cannot tell left from right click I was trying to make an image that raises a number by one when left clicked and lowers it when right clicked.
I was able to make shoes detect which button is clicked with the below code:
Shoes.app do
  @info = para "No button pressed."
  click do |button|
    @info.replace "#{button} was PRESSED."
  end
end

And this works just fine. LMB is 1, RMB is 2, and MMB is 3.
But when I try and detect a clicked image
Shoes.app do
  number = 0
  @image = image "image.png"
  @info = para "No button pressed."
  @image.click do |button|
    @info.replace "#{button} was PRESSED."
  end
end

It seems to only be passing self. The result, regardless of button, is "(Shoes::Image) was pressed." I cannot find any way to get around this problem.

A: What happens if you try this?
Shoes.app do
  number = 0
  @image = image "image.png"
  @info = para "No button pressed."
  @image.click do |button|
    @info.replace "#{button.inspect} was PRESSED."
  end
end

A: I think the click method of an element is designed to pass self as the block.
As far as I can see, the only way around it is to use the main click event and use the mouse position blocks to determine whether the mouse is over the image at the time of the click.
Shoes.app do
  number = 0
  @info = para "No button pressed."
  @image = image "image.png"

  click {|button, x, y|
    if (x > @image.left) && (x < (@image.left + @image.width)) && (y > @image.top) && (y < (@image.top + @image.height))
      @info.replace "#{button} was PRESSED."
    end
  }
end
