Nominations for the 38th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards to be announced on Tuesday, July 25th, 2017
New York, N.Y. – July 18, 2017 – The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced today that Charles Osgood, the radio and television journalist who started at CBS Radio and became an industry legend anchoring "CBS Sunday Morning," will receive the 2017 News & Documentary Emmy® Award for Lifetime Achievement.
The News & Documentary Lifetime Achievement Award is bestowed on a journalist or filmmaker who has made a lasting and distinguished contribution to broadcast journalism or documentary film. The award will be presented on October 5, 2017, at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Frederick P. Rose Hall in New York City during the 38th Annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards.
In addition to his almost 50 years in radio and television, Osgood is to be honored for his gifted writing and mastery of the craft of the television news story; his unique humor and musical gifts; and his innate ability to engage his audience with warmth and credibility.
"I had the great privilege and good luck to have crossed paths with Charles Osgood when I was a young man coming up in the CBS Newsroom and he was hosting the 'CBS Weekend Evening News,'" said Bob Mauro, President & CEO, NATAS. "He had the understated ease of a Southern gentleman even though he came from New York and possessed perhaps one of the greatest voices to have ever graced network television. Osgood's character put you at ease, while his wit and humanity drew you in whether reflecting on stories large or small. I am especially proud to have The National Academy's News & Documentary Emmy® Award for Lifetime Achievement bestowed on Charles Osgood and join in congratulating him with the many across the nation who regard him as a national treasure. 'See you on the radio,' Charlie!"
Charles Osgood
Charles Osgood is a unique and talented journalist who has made a lasting contribution to radio and television over almost five decades. His achievements as an anchor and reporter for WCBS News Radio 880 in New York and as an anchor and contributor to "CBS Sunday Morning," are models of some of the best news reporting in the industry. During his renowned career, he has been recognized for excellence in radio and television by numerous national organizations. In addition to his three Emmy® Awards for "CBS Sunday Morning," Osgood received a Grammy Award for his 1966 co-writing of the spoken-word song, "Gallant Men," based on his experiences in the Army during the 1950's.
Osgood received the 1997 George Foster Peabody Award for "CBS Sunday Morning" and two additional Peabody Awards in 1985 and 1986 for "Newsmark," a weekly CBS Radio public affairs broadcast. He earned a News & Documentary Emmy Award in 2004, for his story "Net Gain," about a Northern Ireland basketball group created by Americans to bring strife-torn children of different religions and races together. He also received two News & Documentary Emmy Awards in 1997 for "Wyeth at 80" and "Princess Diana." He has also received a Mercury Radio Award, a Marconi Radio Award and the President's Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
Osgood was born in New York City, where he lives with his wife, Jean. He is a graduate of Fordham University.
Here is a brief survey of his career by some of the people who have worked with him at various times during his distinguished career.
September 25th, 2016 marked the end of an era in television news, and especially at "CBS Sunday Morning." Charles Osgood – only the second person to anchor our broadcast since it first went on the air in 1979 with Charles Kuralt – stepped down after some 22 years at its helm.
Such a milestone was worthy of an unusual program, and CBS News honored the career of Osgood with a celebration of his legacy as a journalist and his many successful years at "Sunday Morning." Some of this special edition of our program was essentially a history lesson… a look back into the Osgood "archives" to help us shape an appreciation of Charlie's remarkable nearly 50 year career at CBS News
Martha Teichner looked at Osgood's love of rhyme. Anthony Mason traced Charlie's song-writing days back to when he was the announcer for the U.S. Army Band. Rita Braver reviewed his news and radio career. Lee Cowan travelled to France to visit with the Osgood family at their summer retreat. Throughout the program, we featured excerpts from some of Osgood's most memorable TV reports. The 90 minutes that ultimately aired could only be described as a "celebration" of one of America's most beloved television news hosts. Beyond bidding a fond farewell to an American broadcasting institution, we believe that Charlie himself is emblematic of what "Sunday Morning" has come to stand for: quirky, creative reports, high production values and thoughtful and uplifting story-telling.
An experienced journalist and gifted writer, Charles Osgood has earned many top broadcasting awards, including Emmys, Peabodys and the Walter Cronkite Excellence in Journalism Award. He continues to anchor "The Osgood File," his daily news commentaries broadcast on radio stations around the country.
Rand Morrison
Executive Producer, CBS Sunday Morning
For over 40 years the name Charles Osgood has been synonymous with the very best in radio broadcasting. Long before we saw him on "CBS Sunday Morning," "CBS Sunday Night News" and the "CBS Evening News," we heard Charles Osgood on the radio. Osgood made his mark at the all-news WCBS-AM in New York as a reporter and anchor during the late sixties before moving to CBS News in 1971.
Considered one of broadcast journalism's best writers, Osgood is perhaps best known for The Osgood File, a program heard every day on the CBS Radio Network. To the delight of millions of listeners, The Osgood File is often delivered in rhyme earning Osgood the title of CBS's Poet in Residence.
Focusing on everything from breaking news to human interest vignettes, The Osgood File has become a drive-time staple on more than 400 radio stations nationwide. Winner of two Peabody Awards and the Edward R. Murrow Award, The Osgood File has also earned five coveted Washington Journalism Review Best in the Business Awards. Osgood is the recipient of a Radio Mercury Award, President's Award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers and a Marconi Radio Award.
During the 1980s, another Osgood project called Newsmark got the attention of radio listeners across the dial. Newsmark was a monthly broadcast on Sunday nights on the CBS Radio Network. In 1986 the program was recognized for its focus on teaching us about our planet and its geography. "Newsmark: Where in the World Are We?" won a Peabody due in large part to what was described as Osgood's "exceptional job scripting and delivering the information." "The Number Man-Bach at Three Hundred" which explored the influence of Johann Sebastian Bach on prose and poetry won a Peabody in 1985.
So when Charles Osgood says "see you on the radio," he means it!
Harvey Nagler
Former Vice President, CBS News, Radio
In the last 50 years, no television journalist has spent longer at the top of the network news anchor pyramid or offered such versatile reporting credentials as Charles Osgood.
When Charles became the first co-anchor of NewsRadio 88 in 1967, he established himself as a broadcaster who could manage and report any story, as well as engage his audience with warmth and credibility. I was his desk assistant in 1968 and I watched him reinvent the form, reading and reporting the news during the all-important drive time period, hour after hour, day after day. Over the years, he went on to report and often anchor the CBS Morning News, the CBS Evening News and Sunday Night News. And despite his success in television formats, he stayed loyal to his radio roots, keeping radio alive on "Newsmark" and "The Osgood File."
In 1994 as President of CBS Broadcasting, I had the opportunity to appoint Charles the anchor of the prestigious "Sunday Morning." He was the logical choice, the only choice. By then his range of journalistic experiences was second to none. He can read, write and perform music better than any reporter I ever met! His wit is demonstrated in numerous best-selling books, verses and essays. His book, "Nothing Could Be Finer than a Crisis That Is Minor in the Morning" covers the spectrum of reporting. Charles' sense of humor occasionally could be mistaken for lack of seriousness. I know better. His humor and ranges give him a perspective that many of his peers lack. He is a serious, thoughtful man who can reflect upon crises, major as well as minor.
If you have watched "Sunday Morning" closely over the years you have seen how adaptable he really is. For 22 years he was its rock and its guru. His vast experience gives him a profound understanding of the human condition and underlines over and over again his real importance and value.

Thanks to all those who have chipped in to help keep Russell Standish available for coding Minsky. The proverbial person with deep pockets hasn't yet materialized, but about 25 people with shallower ones but generous souls have chipped in a total of just under $2000.
Tables like the ones below take my breath away when I see them for the first time–because the story they tell is worse than any I would have dared make up. As I noted in the interview with Kerry O'Brien on the 7.30 Report, real wages have increased since 1990, and since Australia's last election in late 2004. However, mortgage debt has increased by far more.

"The Bloomington Symphony provides the opportunity for its musicians and its audience to really meet classical music where it is meant to be encountered…at close quarters with your neighbors and friends."
"Performing with the BSO is a joy for me! I began learning how to play violin at the age of 6 and played with various orchestras all the way up through my college years. After graduating from college, I wondered if I'd find an orchestra that would challenge me and keep me growing as a musician. The BSO has done just that!"
"I feel incredibly fortunate to be playing in my 25th season with the BSO. I continue to carve out time to play in this fantastic organization because of the enthusiastic reception from our audiences, wonderful friendships both old and new, and the experience of making music. Music enhances nearly everything I do, and the BSO is an integral part of my life."

Far from the opulence of European monarchies and pre-Columbian empires, the people claiming to be the last indigenous kingdom of America resists in the mountains of Panama despite the loss of their traditions, land invasion and the advance of hydroelectric plants.
The small kingdom of the Naso, one of the seven indigenous peoples existing today in Panama, sits on the banks of the Teribe River, in a territory of 1,600 square kilometers west of Panama, still lacking electricity or drinking water including hospitals or telephone coverage.
Its 5,000 inhabitants live scattered in a score of semi-isolated villages in the exuberant jungle of Bocas de Toro, a province of the Panamanian Caribbean bordering Costa Rica. Access to them requires a trip through rural roads and through rivers, which can take almost 12 hours from the country's capital.
Unlike the other ethnic groups, the Naso are organized since immemorial times in a kind of assembly monarchy, led by a king with a throne, palace, crown and scepter.
"I have no infinite powers, I cannot do anything without consulting my people and I lack the money that the King of Spain has," said King Reynaldo Alexis Santana during a visit from Efe to the village of Bonyic, the closest to civilization.
The Santana dynasty has reigned for at least two centuries. The throne used to be transferred from parents to children, but for a few years the own subjects are the ones who choose the monarch between the members of the royal family who decide to appear at the "elections" and those who also have the power to dismiss him.
The current king competed in 2011 against a cousin and an uncle.
"I am the youngest king who has agreed to the throne. I appeared by chance," the monarch said as he brushes the eagle feathers of his crown and prepares to pose for a photo.
The king leans to govern in an advisory council consisting of leaders of all communities, and in the traditional authorities of justice, that solves simple daily problems and that have been eliminating ancestral punishments like the stocks or the "bunker", a hole in the ground where they put the young women who disobey their mothers.
The Naso basically dedicate to subsistence agriculture and sell the little surplus they get from plantain, yucca and yam in Chanquinola, the city closest to the aboriginal kingdom.
As in the rest of the indigenous peoples of Panama, many young people have migrated to the cities fleeing extreme poverty, which has led to the disappearance of traditions. The advancement of evangelical churches is also changing ancestral beliefs.
"There are few young people who speak naso and almost none know that we were born of a grain of corn," said Rosibel Quintero, a woman with an easy smile who wears the typical costume and who wants to build a palm-tree chamizo to house the scarce and adventurous tourists who come to the kingdom.
The naso are topical these days because the Panamanian Parliament approved on 25 October a law that defines their territory, recognizes their government system and gives them autonomy to control their natural resources, but it has yet to be passed by the president to enter into force.
"We are not going to create a small republic; we are Panamanians and we recognize the Constitution, but we also have our own laws and we want to own our lands," said José Smith, a respected banana farmer from the San San Druy community.
The creation of this autonomous territory, if made official, would be the sixth indigenous region of Panama. It is a claim that comes from the time of King Lazarus, the most beloved sovereign and the one that has possibly marked the recent history of this people.
The other monarch who has left a mark in the kingdom, in this case for evil, is King Tito, banished for allowing the construction of a hydroelectric plant in the sacred waters of the Teribe river.
"No government has been interested in our welfare; the region is the mechanism that will allow us to create more opportunities for our people," said the king, convinced that the survival of what he calls the last indigenous kingdom of America depends on the passing of that desired law.

The amount of money that you can expect to pay for your dental veneers will vary greatly. First and foremost, make sure that you have a high quality dental plan, so you are not completely coming out of pocket for this cost. Depending on the level of insurance that you have and the dentist that is providing the procedure for you, you may end up paying as much as $2000 per tooth for these dental veneers.

On the 12th of December 2015 Anne Sjoerd Brouwer successfully defended his dissertation at Utrecht University. His dissertation is titled "Capturing low-carbon power system dynamics" (download).
This dissertation investigates the operational and economic feasibility of such future low-carbon power systems by simulating both Dutch and European power systems. Particular attention is paid to the impacts of intermittent renewable energy sources (iRES) on the power system, the operational and economic performance of power plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) and the flexibility of the power system.
It is found that iRES affect the operation of power systems, but that their impacts are manageable. Overall, sufficient operational flexibility is available in future low-carbon power systems to accommodate variable electricity production of iRES and to supply the extra balancing reserves that are needed to compensate for the forecast error of iRES. Power systems will experience reduced capacity factors of dispatchable generators such as power plants. The efficiency of power plants is hardly reduced by iRES.
It is also observed that low-carbon power systems can be realized with various generation portfolios. A large share of power can be generated by either natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) power plants with CCS, nuclear power, or renewable sources, in particular wind and solar power. A higher share of renewables may be better aligned with long-term climate targets up to 2100, but will be around 12% more expensive in the year 2050 than deploying more natural-gas fired power plants. This price increase is caused by the higher investment costs of iRES, and "integration costs" associated with integrating the intermittent electricity production in the system. The integration costs are largely caused by underutilization of dispatchable capacity, whose capacity factors are reduced.

Apprenticeships are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to college or university for young people. As a parent, you may want to know more about apprenticeships before your child partakes in one.
An apprenticeship offers a real job that comes hand-in-hand with training. The training that is supplied is specific to the job role and provides a qualification upon successful completion.
Apprenticeships vary in length, usually around 12-18 months. During the programme, learners will receive 20% off-the-job training.
Off-the-job training is required for the learner to gain their qualification. It consists of time spent during working hours and in a learning environment with our Tutors and Skills Coaches.
It is a great alternative to both college and university and appeals to future employers due to the experience your child will have received.
Depending on what apprenticeship your child chooses to undertake, they will learn specific skills to their job role. We currently offer an apprenticeship in Digital Marketing, which means that your child will be emerged into the digital world and will learn new things such as social media management, email campaigns, coding, design and customer relationship marketing.
An apprenticeship is definitely worthwhile. It allows you to expand your knowledge and skills whilst gaining experience in your chosen career. The Digital Marketer Apprenticeship that is offered by The B2W Group lasts 18 months, so it allows enough time to gain new knowledge and apply them in the workplace. Additionally, your child wont need to pay back any loans like they would have to if they went to University. Instead, they will be paid for their work.
Visit our vacancies page to see if we have any available vacancies in your area that are perfect for your child. If we don't currently have a suitable vacancy, remember to submit your details so we can contact you if anything comes up.

Eyewitness Palestine Delegations Inspire Bill Plitt to Deeper Understanding and New Activism | Visit Prompts Creation of Friends of Tent of Nations
Bill Plitt had lived a fulsome, varied, intentional, service-oriented life as a teacher, education consultant, master teacher and administrator. So when a friend told him that the Eyewitness Palestine (then called Interfaith Peace-Builders delegation he'd just signed up for would change his life, Bill was skeptical. It was unlike Bill's kind, open-minded nature to express cynicism but, to himself, he thought, "Not at my age."
The friend was prescient. "The delegation experience with Interfaith Peace-Builders was really the strategy for gaining a new perspective of a narrative I had not heard before," Bill said. For many subsequent years, Bill exclusively credited his Eyewitness Palestine delegations for setting him on his current path. Upon deeper reflection now, however, Bill believes that his delegations were among several life experiences leading him to the work he does today. Those experiences include his lifelong career as an educator, graduate work in conflict resolution, a deep and abiding faith in God, and a student's comment two days after 9/11.
Bill arrived at school early that day and found one of his students seated at the back of the class. She was a Palestinian from Bethlehem. "Her first words to me were, 'Mr. Plitt, I am so very sorry for the loss of your people, but perhaps now you know how we who live under the occupation feel every day'," Bill recalled. "I wasn't sure what she meant, but her statement lingered on for another five years, and was no doubt the voice that moved me to seek to be a delegate on my first Interfaith Peace-Builders delegation."
In 2006, Bill joined Eyewitness Palestine's first Olive Harvest delegation, a trip that included harvesting olives at the Nassar family farm outside Bethlehem, the site of the Tent of Nations (TON), an educational and environmental family farm dedicated to building bridges between people, and between people and the land. There he met Daoud Nassar and Daoud's family, and began a lifelong friendship. Even though it was fall, for Bill, a seed was planted.
Throughout the following year, Bill and two friends, Bill Mims and Mark Braverman, discussed ways in which they could bring meaning to their visits to Palestine/Israel and make a difference in the conflict. "Together, we determined that our time at the Tent of Nations was a defining point for each of us," Bill said. "We made a commitment to support the Tent of Nations project located on the Nassar family farm where we had harvested olives during the day, and heard the family's story around the warm camp fire at night."

When you have a book series as popular as Goosebumps, artists can help but do something fun about it. The book covers themselves can spark an artist's imagination and can give it a wicked twist – alternative titles that can make the Goosebumps series more hilarious instead of child-friendly scary.

Putin comments on UN peacekeeping initiative in Donbas
According to the President of Russia, they are "at the very least, not against" deploying peacekeepers all over Donbas, but it should be agreed with the militants
Russia is "at the very least, not against" deploying UN peacekeepers all over Donbas, but, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, it should be agreed with the unrecognized republics of Donbas, RIA News reports.
"Now they say, no, they must be present everywhere, so basically it means this territory will be put under international control. Is Russia for or against it? We are, at the very least, not against not against it. But it has to be agreed with these unrecognized republics. Then go and agree with them. But no, nobody wants to do that," Putin said after a meeting with Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
Russian President also noted that now it's suggested to deploy peacekeepers all over Donbas, while at first, it was about ensuring the safety of the OSCE observers who are present at the line of the contact.

"And we proceed from the premise that it's enough if the UN peacekeeping mission implements this role. At first, Ukraine raised the issue of arming OSCE observers in order to ensure security – we agreed to it. The OSCE refused from it, pointing out that they don't have nor this experience, nor the people who would be able to do it. And, third of all, there are concerns that the moment the OSCE observers have weapons in their hands, they will become a target for both sides of the conflict," Vladimir Putin said.
He added that another suggestion was made – place a UN peacekeeping mission next to them to ensure the security of the OSCE staff.
Putin said that in one of the phone conversations, German Chancellor Angela Merkel suggested that the peacekeepers be present at the Russian-Ukrainian border.
"I said that yes, you are probably right. Let them be there as well, when they accompany the OSCE staff, to ensure the security. We agreed to this. But it proved to be not enough," he said.

Those who have the cloud size in the top of their priority list, then they should go with the sub-ohm coil type.
So, these were a few of the points that one should consider while buying a good vape tank. The most important thing that one should see in a vape tank is the coil type, as the whole process of vaping based on this.

The other day, as my daughter was sitting on a bench catching some sun before her music lesson at the University of Cincinnati, two young women came up to her.
"Hi," one of them said, "what are you doing?" She was obviously the more talkative of the two.
"What other classes do you take?" The talkative young woman wore a short–sleeved maroon t-shirt with a long flowing floral skirt.
It was then that my daughter realized that these women were trying to convert her. She took it in stride. The three of them talked a few more minutes about this and that.
Somewhere in their brief conversation, they asked my daughter what religion she was and she told them that she was Jewish and was happy to be Jewish. After that the young women must have realized that it was time to move on. They said their goodbyes.
As they walked away toward a small group of students sitting on the steps of a nearby building, my daughter thought about how many strangers they must talk to in a day. How often do they find a person interested in becoming a Mormon and how many times a day are they rebuked? she wondered.
My daughter was amazed by the women's strong set of beliefs. "'All the answers,' she said to me. Wow." And then she took another sip of tea.

* THE NE.W YORKER however, some of the noncandidates present may view it with a certain tol- erance, although they are not lIkely to break out signs reading "Been There." The seventy-six-year-old board mem- ber Arthur Levitt, who has just an- nounced plans to run for a seventh four-year term as state comptroller, is held in awe as a fiscal disciplinarian, famously resistant to all partisan influ- ences. It is generally forgotten that in 1961 Levitt, sponsored by the local Democratic bosses, was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomina- tion for mayor. In 1973, Gov- ernor Carey, then a Brooklyn congressman, made a brief foray into the local mayoral primary, reportedly with the encouragemen of Nelson Rockefeller, then a Carey admirer, as he made one more attempt to control the mayoral election in his city. (Carey has indi- ca ted tha t he will remaIn neu tral in this year's Democratic primary-in contrast, of course, to the way things were four years ago, when the Re- publican Governor was trying to turn the Democratic race into his own show.) In 1969, Carey was an unsuc- cessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for President of the City Council-a local office resembling the Vice-Presidency in that the primary re- sponsibility of the titleholder is to stand ready to take over as mayor if there should be a vacancy. And still another of the Control Board observers who have not always been aloof from mu- nicipal politics is Senator Moynihan, who was an unsuccessful candidate for the Democratic nomination for Presi- dent of the City Council in 1965. His wife said recently that, considering what city government was like, the only thing worse from Moynihan's point of view than his losing that race would have been his winning it. Even when members of the city's delegation in the House of Represent- atives aren't mixing it up with Beame at Control Board meetings, they will be somewhat distracted from the affairs of state in the coming months. Koch is in town much of the time, raising mon- ey or attending press conferences for such purposes as denouncing the use of children in pornographIc films. Biaggi is a familiar figure on the senior-citizen circuit, calling for a crackdown on muggers of the elderly, and reminding his listeners that he was responsible for getting Congress to award a posthu- mous sixth star to General George Washington. One-upping his rivals, he announced to the press last month that a screenplay was being prepared about certain events in his life on the local police force two decades ago. It 1S not known whether the film will include the episode that, after it was brought up by one of his opponents in 1973, caused him to be the first local candi- date for mayor, as far as is known, to go on television and deny that he had ever bitten a man's ear off. There has been some talk that Badillo's en- thusiasm about making a third run for mayor would cool a bit as he began to reap the rewards of greater seniority in the House, but there was no sign of this during a recent weekend he spent making a barrage of phone calls to Albany to insIst that the Black and Puerto Rican Leg- islative Caucus there name as its chairman a relatively neu- tral Brooklyn assemblyman rather than a state senator who was a long- time associate of Percy Sutton-to whom the senator might swing the caucus's endorsement in the mayoral race. 1\ MONG other locally significant .fi events in .i\lbany has been the shifting of a committee chairmanship in the State Senate Since this is a non-election year for the legislators, they are expected to take some contro- versial steps toward relaxing, or even abolishing, rent control in the city, and in the process the chairman of the Sen- ate Committee on Housing and Urban Development, a post that was held for many years by Roy Goodman, will in- evitably bring down on his head the wrath of highly organized and heavily voting tenants' groups. Candidate Goodman's fellow Republican sena- tors, in stil] another demonstration that there is more to the work of a legisla- ture than merely passing laws, trans- ferred him to the chairmanship of the Committee on Common Taxation and Government Operations-a move that will undoubtedly lead to still another long series of well-publicized hearings on what is wrong with the government of this city, this time with special atten- tion to what is wrong with the opera- tions of its present mayor. As a kind of preview of things to come, Goodman won a headline on the front page of the News reading "CHARGE 'FAKE' KIDS ON RELIEF;" meanwhile, the legisla- ture got ready to pass a bil1 moving the September 13th primary to an earlier date. The September date was settled on by the Republicans in 1974, when they controlled both legislative houses, on the theory that each election-year summer they would then be able to loll on the beaches enjoying the spectacle of the Democrats cutting each other to pieces.

Video marketing is taking the marketplace and online audience by storm. A visual storyteller who understands marketing can help companies increase their traffic, boost engagement, and raise brand awareness.
Great videos evoke emotions and tell stories in enticing ways. And when applied to marketing, they have the power to separate a brand from its competition.
Shooting videos might seem easy, but it requires hard work and outstanding skills. Yes, anyone can hit the record button, but only the talented ones like Dennis Abad can produce compelling videos.
Also known as Shoden San, Dennis is the co-founder of Shoot! Practical Videography School, the first practical videography school in the Philippines. He's also an online video marketer, a funnel strategist, and a professional photographer. His creativity, unique storytelling, and attention to details make his works stand out.
Check out our interview with the incredibly witty visual storyteller, "Master" Shoden San.
Q: Can you tell us more about what you do as a freelancer?
I'm both an offline and online freelancer. Offline, I'm a co-founder of a film/videography school and a digital video content creator specializing in corporate films and documentaries. Online, I'm an email marketer and a funnel architect specializing in video marketing strategy.
Now both paths may seem far removed, but there's actually a method to this madness. In the course of co-founding and operating the video school, I've had to take on many roles. The nice-sounding ones were CTO, CFO, and CMO. The less rosy ones were janitor, driver, and an assistant. All them were necessary.
To promote our brand and increase enrollments, I embraced digital marketing.
I'm gaining traction as an online video marketer and funnel strategist. I have several other clients outside of the school. We recently had our first child, and it has necessitated me to work from home. I'm really lucky that online freelancing has opened up these amazing avenues for income and fulfillment.
Q: What made you decide to go into freelancing, and was it something you wanted to do?
I would say that I fell into it, but in retrospect, there was an over-shadowing that happened many years back. It took two 'seismic career shifts' for me to finally become the freelancer that I am today.
Not many people know this story outside of my immediate family, but this has grown easier with the telling. As I was about to enter university, our family fell on hard times. A series of unfortunate events happened to my father on the eve of his 25th year of service at a major bank. This ultimately robbed him of the rewards he had so piously worked for. Despite him being high on the corporate ladder, I realized then that job security was just a myth. I subconsciously carried this feeling of unease as I entered the workforce in different capacities in the BPO, Oil and Gas, Hospitality and Solar Industries.
While I enjoyed my corporate time developing the soft and hard skills crucial to being a freelancer, I subsequently discovered my penchant for visual storytelling through the travel opportunities that were perks of my job.
This led me to become a weekend warrior. I slowly sharpened my videography skills from 2008 with sporadic events and workshops, until they built enough momentum for me to afford to take the leap into video entrepreneurship in 2012. It took four long years worth of weekends to do it, but it also made me realize that doing it all offline would be career suicide. I had to learn to market myself online as well.
That subsequently started my journey as an online marketer.
Q: What do you love most about freelancing?
This will be as cliche as it sounds, but it will be as consistent as the answers of other freelancers. It's the freedom of location and time, the freedom to choose who you work with, and the ability to scale and stop trading dollars for hours. The freedom to see your child grow up in front of you, and see the things they experience the first time.
Q: What is the biggest challenge you faced as a freelancer? How did you overcome it?
Being a freelancer has its perks, but time management isn't one of them. I recounted above when I was officially released into the wild as an "untethered" videographer. I embarked on a journey that was in equal turns fun-filled and depressing, enlightening and mind-numbing, exciting and boring, and feast and famine. It was a journey into freelancing and self-employment.
One of the biggest misconceptions about freelancing is that once you put up your website, Facebook page, online freelancer profile ( LinkedIn, Upwork, or your niche's database ), work magically comes to you. The hard truth is you have to fight tooth and nail for it and fight like a crazy person.
Freelance work is actual work. And I mean it in a physical and visceral sense. Unlike the nine to five (or graveyard shift if that applies to you), there is nothing stable about freelancing until we have made it that way.
Aside from the proper mindset and given that you already have real competency and skills, my biggest barrier to being a successful freelancer is procrastination.
After my corporate life, all the time constraints and limitations were suddenly lifted. I was faced with a seemingly unlimited amount of free time. Time to do literally whatever I wanted.
I could sleep in all day.
Or read all the posts on Facebook.
Or watch all the interesting videos on Vimeo and Youtube.
And earn nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
Q: What do you think is your best trait that contributed largely to your success?
It's not so much as any specific trait, but a series of small changes that slowly altered my habits. Here are some of the things I've learned to be useful.
Admit the problem. This goes a long way when we're being honest with ourselves. Knowing that I'm easily distracted and that I tend to procrastinate has taught me about my limitations and what I can actually do to work within them or around them.
Don't Multi-task. It takes me a long time to get my brain fully into a task (ex. video editing, writing an email, planning content) and trying to do other things at the same time isn't effective. You only end up feeling busy, but not productive. It's the time lost due to having too many projects running at once that makes our day unproductive. I didn't realize this was part of an actual study on context switching.
The brain is a muscle, and as a human organ it eats up the most energy pound per pound. Why is this important? This means that we have a finite amount of brainpower per day, and it teaches us not to waste it by doing lesser-impact things.
Simplify your day by putting this technique to work. Too many items on a checklist don't feel natural, and if we don't complete it, we feel like failures. Ask yourself instead; what is the most important task today — or MITT. If there was only one thing you could accomplish today that would make your day a success, what would that thing be?
Block chunks of time to do the MITT, preferably in 25-minute intervals. I break it down further into smaller manageable pieces and do the easiest ones first. I first read about it in the '4-Hour Work Week' by Tim Ferriss. No distractions, SMS, wifi, Facebook, browsers tabs etc. I use the Pomodoro technique with the Tomighty app.
You'll be surprised where this can take you. I know I was. I've since moved up from a freelancer into a business owner and entrepreneur, but it's definitely worth every second of the ride. Every freelancer is a small business waiting in the wings.
Q: What do you think is the biggest challenge in the freelancing industry in the Philippines?
Poor internet service, general lack of support and awareness from freelancing communities (this is wonderfully changing now but continues to be a challenge), and a scarcity mindset.
Q: What book greatly influenced your freelancing career?
Q: What do you think makes Filipinos great as freelancers?
Resourcefulness, adaptability, resilience, creativity, and helpfulness. Despite not being rich ourselves, I've observed countless times that Filipinos want to help others. It's this genuine concern that pulls the other four traits up to a higher level and makes us stand out as service providers.
Q: What piece of advice can you give to aspiring freelancers, especially to those who are struggling to get a gig?
I've been following some of the other freelancers featured here and they've all had excellent answers in helping freelancers find a gig. This is on top of the research, due diligence, practice and guest postings and doing case studies with potential clients. This is on top of being able to leverage yourself in the best-suited platforms for your audience, to being found and standing out.
I'd like to add on to this with a simple thing.
Come from a place of help.
This changes everything you will do henceforth. It will spur you on to master your skills to make sure that you don't deliver a subpar service to your clients. It will get you to try your level best in getting the work done. Think about yourself as a standalone business, and think about how you are really able to help your customer's bottom line in the way you do best. Be great at a few specific things and make your time count.

Two men stabbed during dispute in Center City
Two men were injured during a stabbing along the 1200 block of St. James Street in Center City. One victim was found near 13th and Walnut streets; the second was brought by taxi to Jefferson University Hospital.
by Alex Wigglesworth, PHILLY.COM
Two men were injured during a stabbing in Center City early Saturday.
Officers about 4 a.m. responded to the intersection of 17th and Walnut streets for a report of a stabbing victim, according to preliminary information from Philadelphia police. They were met by a 31-year-old man, who told investigators he was stabbed in the area of 13th and Walnut streets.
The man then fell unconscious and was rushed to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he was treated for a stab wound to his lower abdomen and listed in critical condition.
A second victim arrived by taxi at Jefferson University Hospital, police said. The 27-year-old man told police he had been stabbed in the left side of his lower abdomen after getting into an altercation with a man along the 1200 block of St. James Street, an alley between Walnut and Locust streets.
That man's condition was not immediately available.
Police described the suspect as a 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-7 black man with a medium build, about 23 years old, last seen wearing a purple hooded sweatshirt and tan jacket.
No arrest had been reported, as of Saturday afternoon. Anyone with information was asked to contact Philadelphia police.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A man is in police custody after a Tuesday afternoon shooting left a teenage girl hospitalized with "life-threatening" injuries, according to Anchorage police.
After responding to a report of a shot fired near Denali Street and east 14th avenue around 3:30 p.m. Police arrested 42-year-old Odell Branch III after taking him to the Anchorage department for questioning. Police also questioned 29-year-old Bektu Tharjiath and several other unnamed witnesses, but did not make any other arrests.
At the scene, police report in a community alert that they found a teenage victim with a gunshot wound to the upper body when they arrived. A spokesperson with the police department was unable to provide a further update to the status of the victim when asked by Alaska's News Source.
Branch was jailed for one charge each of attempted murder and assault.

Editor's note: This story has been updated to include additional information and corrected Branch's charges that previously inaccurately listed probation violation.

'Grey's Anatomy' Jokes at TV Festival
They joked, they flirted, they even squabbled a bit, and Ellen Pompeo accidentally called her co-star by his character's name, George.
With a fun familiarity that reflects the show, the cast of ABC's hit series "Grey's Anatomy" kicked off the Museum of Television & Radio's 23rd annual William S. Paley Television Festival on Tuesday.
Ten of the medical comedy-drama's cast members, plus five writers and producers, and the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, filed onstage at the Director's Guild of America to answer questions from a moderator and audience members following a screening of Rhimes' favorite episode, "Into You Like a Train."
"For us, not having a time slot last year, and now all of you watching ... has been great," Rhimes told the screaming audience, mostly women, at the sold-out event.
Patrick Dempsey, who plays neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd, aka "Dr. McDreamy," sat between his two love interests: Kate Walsh, who plays his wife, Dr. Addison Shepherd, and Pompeo, who is intern Dr. Meredith Grey.
It turned out that Dempsey's real-life heartthrob status made an impression on Rhimes herself.
Dempsey said he had been "completely terrified" of Rhimes during his original audition because she stared at him, "no expression, no warmth," but Rhimes thought otherwise.
"The entire time he was in the room, I thought, 'He's so dreamy,'" she said.
When asked how the cast resembled its characters, Pompeo grinned and pointed at Dempsey.
"I haven't publicly said this before, but I do have a crush on him," Pompeo said.
"Well, I have a crush on you, too," Dempsey, who is married to Jillian Fink, shot back, to sighs and whoops from the audience.
"I've got a crush on both of you. Maybe we can party," Walsh said, laughing.
Prompted by two giggling young women asking about the show's complex couplings, T.R. Knight reflected on his character's recent disastrous sex scene.
In that episode, Knight's baby-faced and bumbling Dr. George O' Malley finally gets to consummate his obsession with Meredith, only to see her bawl with regret and confusion.
"It wasn't just a 'poor George' moment," said Knight, just as fidgety as his character. "Yes, he's loved her from the start, but he wasn't listening to her from the start."
The cast's diversity, which writer Krista Vernoff called "revolutionary," also triggered discussion.
Chandra Wilson waited to try out for the role of feisty surgeon Dr. Miranda Bailey because the script called for a short, blond woman.
But she was perfect, Rhimes said.
"In the surgeon world that she's in, Miranda shouldn't necessarily be there," Wilson said, tearing up. "She's a woman and an African-American. And she doesn't worry about any of that. I hope I have some of that in me."
Isaiah Washington's role as handsome black surgeon Dr. Preston Burke was originally imagined for a "short, nebbish man," he said.
James Pickens Jr. described his role as chief surgeon Dr. Richard Webber as "Cliff Huxtable trapped in bizarro land," and possibly the best part he's ever played.
Afterward, as fans lurched toward the stage for autographs, Pompeo mused about the show's popularity.
"The chemistry between the cast is very important," she said. "We're a family and have respect for each other. And we have fun, which comes across."


I would say it depends on the cost. I would be interested in both, but what kind of prices are we talking about here? And would they be NIB?
Are you familiar with the two guns? The CPS3000 is completely more worth than the CPS2100. You might aswell ask, do I get the CPS2500 or the CPS1200? The CPS3000 is worth $50 while the CPS2100 is worth $20. If you are aware of that, you would not have to ask which one is better.
Holy Soakers thats a lot for a water gun. Wow. I never knew guns costed that much.(Although I don't know much about prices) Well thats good to know. Now I can definetly convince my parents to let me buy when I tell them the comparison!
Oh yeah I know 50 dollars aint a whole lot but to me, when I'm talkin about soakers, it is!
Holy Soakers thats a lot for a water gun. Wow. I never knew guns costed that much.
$50? That's cheap compared to the $100+ that CPS 2000s and MXL fetch on eBay...to say nothing of the £50 (around $90) a used CPS 3000 was apparently sold for on eBay UK recently.
I saw a MXL go for over $120, it was incredibly sad.
get the 3000...its so much more powerful. you could yell some awesome phrase like "RETARDS NEVER WIN! AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGH!" and then run in with the 3000 and totally blast the guy to Hasbro HQ. it would be way better than if you did it with a 2100. though, if you want a smaller weapon that is the one to get. but if I were u id get the 3000.
if it were me, and I could have one, I would have both.
EDIT: Oh, and Racer445, "good tip" isn't really much use as a reply.
Buy the 3000 anyway. You don't have to fill the backpack all the way. It's a great deal anyway, you could resell it on eBay and make a ton of money off a poor sap.
The 3000 is much better than the Big Trouble, the Big Trouble is 100% QFD dependant however the 3000 is not, that's enough for me.
I'd go for the CPS 3000...since it isn't QFD dependant. Big Trouble would be good as a back-up blaster though.

Top 8 Awesome Geisel Library Facts
Let's be honest, when Brutalist architecture emerged in the mid-20th century, it wasn't the prettiest architectural style in history.
Slabs of concrete exposed on a building's exterior aren't the nicest form of decoration by any means. This makes this stunning library very special because it looks pretty awesome.
Let's take a closer look at some of the most interesting facts about the Geisel Library, an incredible landmark in San Diego, California.
1. It's located on the campus of the University of California, San Diego
2. The building was designed by a renowned American architect
3. The design of Geisel Library incorporates futurism and has a deeper meaning
4. It was renamed in honor of a popular author of children's books in 1995
5. There's a special section dedicated to 8,500 items produced by Dr. Seuss
6. The library's entrance is decorated with a remarkable artwork
7. There's a simple explanation as to why there is no third floor in the building
8. You can access the nearby park via a 560-feet artwork called the "Snake Path"
Geisel Library is arguably one of the most amazing libraries in the United States. It's located in the heart of the campus of the University of California, San Diego.
It's the main library of the university and provides students with access to over 7 million printed and digital works. That's enough to conduct thorough research.
This building is only one of the buildings of the library complex. Another on-campus facility is the Biomedical Library Building.
Off-campus locations include the Scripps Archives and Library Annex, the Trade Street Storage Annex, and the UC Southern Regional Library Facility.
The amazing location on the university's campus / Fastily / Wiki Commons
When Chancellor John Semple Galbraith (1916-2003) accepted his role, he envisioned that UC San Diego would become the home of three major libraries of the UC system.
The pan of the building was made during his tenure between 1964 and 1968 as he established a commission for the project and hired architect William Perreira (1909-1985).
Perreira designed one of the most amazing landmarks in San Francisco around the same time, the Transamerica Pyramid, which was completed between 1969 and 1972.
This was the tallest skyscraper in San Francisco upon completion and the most prestigious project completed by the architect.
The construction of the library started in July 1968 and it was officially dedicated in March 1970.

The library is located at the head of a canyon and this allowed for plenty of creativity. Pereira was renowned for incorporating futuristic elements in his designs.
The remarkable design of Geisel Library features arches that appear to be holding up separate floors. It was designed in such a way to resemble hands holding up stacks of books.
The exposed structural elements on the exterior are characteristic of Brutalism. The mix between the Brutalist design and the Futurist style comes together amazingly well in this structure.
What's fascinating is that the architect initially envisioned a steel structure, but this was changed to reinforced concrete to save costs.
The total price was eventually $5.12 million at the time, the equivalent of over $39 million today.

The library was dedicated as the Central Library upon completion in 1970. It was completely renovated in 1993 and rededicated as the University Library Building that year.
It wasn't until the year 1995 that the building got its current name in honor of Audrey and Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904-1991).
Geisel is better known by his pen name "Dr. Seuss." He was a popular children's author and cartoonist who sold over 600 million books worldwide.
A bronze statue of Geisel together with his popular character "The Cat in the Hat" is located just outside of the library building.

The library holds several special collections which are housed in a section called the "Mandeville Special Collections and Archives."
Perhaps the most fascinating collection is the "Dr. Seuss Collection." This collection features 8,500 original works of Dr. Seuss, starting from his teenage years to his death in 1991.
Items included are original drawings, sketches, proofs, notebooks, manuscript drafts, books, audio and videotapes, photographs, and all sorts of other memorabilia.

A large lane leads up to the library's main entrance on the south side of the building. Above the entrance doors, you can read READ/WRITE/THINK/DREAM.
This artwork was produced by American artist John Baldessari (1931-2020), a conceptual artist whose works have been displayed in over 200 solo exhibitions in the United States and Europe.
Like all artworks that are located on the UC San Diego campus, it's part of the Stuart Collection. This collection was established in 1981 and focused on commissioning sculptures across the campus.

The lower levels of the library are number 1 and 2 and the upper floors are numbered 4 to 8. So where did the third floor go?
An urban legend suggests that the floor was left out because the weight of the books inside the building wasn't integrated into the building's structural design.
This was not the case and the explanation is rather simple. The third floor is the open forum outside of the building. The interior of this floor only features an emergency exit.
This exit is blocked for visitors and serves as a security measure to keep the library's collection safe.

The east side of the library is connected to the nearby Warren Mall, a large park and public space on the campus, by the "Snake Path."
This is an artwork by Alexis Smith with a length of 560 feet (170 meters). It winds down the eastern end of the hill on which the library was constructed.
On your way down you'll be able to admire another sculpture that is part of the Stuart Collection, a large granite book titled "Paradise Lost" that features the following description:
Then Wilt Thou Not Be Loth To Leave This Paradis But Shall Possess A Paradise Within Thee, Happier Far.
