The cinematic music biography always finds itself in high demand. It is hard to think of a documentary subject that could be more commercially reliable (outside of its cousin, the concert film), especially when depicting artists of enduring popular attention. The past film season made this trend all the more evident, as a handful of music docs rose out of the festival scene to broader successes with general film and television audiences.
Brett Morgen's Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck was HBO's monster entry, a collage of the late artist's journals, music, and home videos that forms an enrapturing narrative around an ever-elusive personality. Liz Garbus's What Happened, Miss Simone? was one of Netflix's prestige pushes, an affiliation that no doubt harmed its traditional exhibition returns. It beautifully meshes jazz legend Nina Simone's trail-blazing musical stylings with her political passion. And finally there was Asif Kapadia's Amy, which took home an Oscar and broke nonfiction box office records in the United Kingdom with a depiction of singer Amy Winehouse's meteoric rise and tragic downfall. When lined up next to each other, the ways in which the disparate formal techniques of these films shape their stories and arguments, potentially in ways outside the filmmakers' control, become more apparent.
One obvious but crucially dynamic angle is the time periods which manifest in the ephemera that the filmmakers deploy. Amy's story is the most recent, and as a result, has the widest canvas of mass media from which to pluck and construct a narrative. It also happens to be the film most critical of the gossip industry's role in its subject's untimely demise, appropriating the kind of ghastly, vicious tabloid footage that gazes mockingly on an individual with blatant substance abuse issues.
By comparison, Montage of Heck finds itself on the fulcrum of a cultural paradigm shift, with MTV the main conduit for mainstream impressions of Cobain and Nirvana. This is compellingly contrasted with another modal transformation at the same time: the singer's personal home movies, shot on the then-rapidly-popularizing digital video format. His journals make up the final crucial source of visual material, a smattering of doodles, lyrics, and existential musings that are instantly familiar in tone if one is at all aware of his music.
Nina Simone's diary entries are far less frenzied, and composed of cogent, delicately handwritten testaments to her experiences. The benefit of the era in which she performed is that her depiction in the film is a lot less cluttered by a variety of audio-visual ingredients. It's funny how we do not think of documentaries as "period pieces" in the same manner as fiction, even though its rendering of a period is one of the great strengths of What Happened, Miss Simone? Sure, there is the 16mm film, the old broadcast television performances, and the beautifully captured '70s-era concert film footage; but the material that sells it are the formally composed black-and-white film photographs. It would be hard to aver that the format is in any way superior, but Amy and Montage of Heck will surely become more interesting as their subjects' cultural impressions gain distance from the present.
With primary sources in tow, the films take different approaches to accentuating or complimenting them. Miss Simone opens with a brilliant, raw sequence in which the title character returns to the stage for the first time in years in 1970s Europe. She slowly approaches her piano, pausing several times to assess the crowd with a degree of critical scrutiny not often found between a performer and her audience. The ambiguity of this instance is a killer hook for the film, and the later revelation that she was suffering from serious mental health problems never detracts from her eccentric decorum. This single sequence elucidates her brazen devotion to her craft, which translates seamlessly into her activism. It has a truly expressive effect that is so much more powerful than straight verbal explication.
Amy tends to err on the side of the such explication, but not necessarily to its detriment. The narrative is guided firmly by off-camera interviews while Winehouse's home movies and tabloid depictions completely dominate the visual component of the picture. As a result, it prevents a more experientially satisfying viewing; but the central argument of the film – that Winehouse's downfall was the result of a toxic personal and public environment – is preserved.
Montage of Heck goes for broke and defers almost entirely towards the intangible, attempting to put together the mind of an artist from what he left behind. Conventional interviews sparsely enter the frame with brief anecdotes or aphorisms on Cobain's character, and then the viewer is underwater again. This is definitely more my cup of tea, the ride that suggests truth rather than the other way around.
Once the assemblage becomes lucid, so does the matter of perspective. Amy is the most rife with secondhand testimony. Outside of her music (often truncated to an all-too-brief sampling), we hear no personal ruminations on her own life. The film's presentation seems to lack awareness that it practically commits the same act of myth-making as the parties it condemns. Its depiction of Winehouse is a generous but deceptive act of kindness that does a disservice to her personal truth by drawing solid lines around a cause and an effect. Montage of Heck makes less of an effort to organize the messiness of individual perception. Cobain's depiction favors a poetic expression of consciousness rather than an essay. After watching the film, I was as enamored as I had ever been with the musician's reclusive genius, and yet still so distant from truly understanding what he was "about." I think there is value in such dissonance.
Yet for all these films' successes, the most unforgettable music doc of the last year was the first public release of a work from 1975 by the Grand Marshall of the nonfiction, Les Blank: his vérité coverage of a Leon Russell tour in A Poem Is a Naked Person. Two big parts of the 2015 restoration's effectiveness are its devotion to context and a focus beyond the artist that, in the end, make him appear more defined. Russell's concert performances and backstage interactions almost come off as ancillary to the display of ordinary denizens of Austin and Tulsa captured by Blank. Russell's outline is codified by his audience and his region far more effectively than it would have been if the only characters we heard from in Poem were his family and his collaborators. So while it is not intended to be a biography in the traditional sense, I think it evokes the essence that the biography genre strives for better than the films that stick to type. All it takes is a measure of trust that, if you allow it to, reality can breathe.
SXSW 2016 Epilogue: Somehow the year swung back around on me and the latest slate of music docs, a staple of SXSW's offerings, hit the scene. I think I subconsciously avoided the standard biographical offerings out of the past year's fatigue, but I did manage to catch doc legend Barbara Kopple's latest vérité venture, Miss Sharon Jones!, which traces the titular artist's struggle between battling cancer and wanting to perform. It's a magnificent pairing of Kopple's knack for direct style with a singularly charismatic central character. The best moment of the film is an unbroken sequence in which Jones, drained of energy from chemotherapy, unleashes an eye-popping, faith-driven performance in a pentecostal service. In moments like these, you become half-convinced Jones is not ailing from anything; but then the truth becomes clear as she returns to her pew at the front, so exhausted that she inhales like she's breathing for three people. There's a real sincerity to the picture, and it doesn't waste time aggrandizing its subject. Jones is presented in her most vulnerable moments as much as her most triumphant ones. Keep an eye out for Miss Sharon Jones! as it tours the festival circuit.

March 15, 2010 by Dave Mattson in Customer Relationships
If you're like most sales professionals, you work hard to learn as much as you can about your product or service. You take pride in how much you know about your business. When you can answer any technical question that might come up in a call with a prospect, you feel confident. That's only natural. But as important as it is to be knowledgeable, your eagerness to display that knowledge can damage a relationship and cost you sales. To avoid this problem, you need to remember that expertise can be intimidating. It can turn people off. Using technical jargon, for example, can leave one of two impressions. First, the use of buzzwords or industry-speak can make some prospects suspect you're bluffing. They can think you are showing off and using language you don't really understand yourself. Second, it can give the impression that you really do know what you're talking about, which can make the prospect feel at a disadvantage. In both cases, you've made your prospect feel uncomfortable, and someone who is uncomfortable is not likely to make the emotional investment necessary to build the relationship and buy the product. If prospects really don't understand what you're saying, they probably won't ask questions. That's because they don't want to admit their ignorance, which your expertise has brought to light. (Who really likes to ask for directions?) Remember, too, that discomfort is a kind of pain. You've come to remove a prospect's pain-the secret of all sales-but you've only created more of it. Prospects placed in a potentially embarrassing position are likely to remove that pain themselves by removing you. They'll say they are impressed with your company and ask you to leave some printed information, and show you to the door. They'll promise to review the material and get back to you, but the chances this will happen aren't great. I know all this from hard-earned personal experience, but it's still reassuring to receive confirmation of it from an objective source. Stephanie Palmer is a former Hollywood producer who has supervised the production of 20 movies with multimillion-dollar budgets, including "Legally Blonde." She has heard more than 3,000 "pitches." In her recent book, "Good in a Room," Palmer says you always have to pretend that the prospect is smarter than you are, just to protect the prospect's ego. If you don't protect the prospect's fragile self-esteem, you'll not make the sale-or get your film produced! Maybe Hollywood egos are more insecure than the rest of the country's, but the point is worth remembering whenever you feel tempted to come on too strong and too early with technical information. It's never a bad thing to be the smartest guy (or gal) in a room. But if you want to make sales, you probably shouldn't act like you are

SVT and Infront set a new standard for sustainable event TV production at Åre 2019
17.2.2019 10:39:49 CET | Åre 2019 english
Images from Åre 2019 may reach in excess of 815 million households worldwide. A total of 90 cameras are used to convey the action on and off the slopes to ski fans around the globe through race broadcasting, award ceremonies and studio programs.
Sustainable remote production enables 53 hours of live coverage. Photo by Lisa Johansson
All the emotions, adrenaline, excitement, joy and disappointment are conveyed through the international signal transmitted by Infront/SVT as the event's host broadcaster (HB), a partnership between Infront Sports, the TV and marketing rights holder of Åre 2019, and SVT, Swedish National Television.
- The partnership between Infront Sports and SVT is leading the way in the production of large and small events in an environment friendly way. The host broadcast production will never look the same again after these Championships, said Adde Granberg, Host Broadcast Producer for Åre 2019.
To enable 53 hours of live coverage from Åre, a total of 155 SVT staff are involved in the production. What's different about Åre 2019 is that it can fit in a rear hatchback car and uses less power than an average house in Sweden in a year (12 000 kWh).
Infront/SVT's production concept sets a new standard in the broadcasting of major sports events. Instead of the traditional methods, SVT decided to execute Åre 2019 as remote production. This means that the 2019 Championships have the most environmentally friendly TV production in history.
Remote production offers various benefits. Instead of the traditional solution of two semi-trailers running on diesel fuel and providing power for on-site production in Åre, most production is done in SVT's offices in Stockholm powered by renewable energy, with diesel generators only as a back-up in the (unlikely) event of a power failure.
The 76 cameras on the competition slopes in Åre are also very energy-efficient. Previously, more than 125 amperes of voltage were required to power the production of the international signal with a diesel generator providing a 24/7 back-up. Event the technical power still needed on-site in Åre is run entirely on Ecopar, a low CO2 fuel alternative.
In addition, there are 25% fewer SVT staff on-site in Åre as 35 of them are working back in Stockholm instead. This leads to a reduced carbon footprint in terms of travel, accommodation and other emissions.
The smaller amount of equipment on the slopes also makes it much faster to pack up. The equipment used for at Åre 2019 will be transported to Östersund where the IBU Biathlon World Championships 2019 will begin on 7 March. The transfer is expected to take 1-2 days as opposed to weeks previously.
Thanks to the enhanced fiber capacity on the slopes jointly installed by SkiStar, Åre 2019 and SVT, and an expanded fiber network provided by Telia, the delivery of wonderful images from Åre to audience around the world operates with much less power.
SVT is pushing the bar much higher with the HB operations at Åre 2019 and they are indeed already looking into a future with even more sustainable production options.
- If Sweden were to host the Olympic Winter Games 2026, we are ready and experienced to deliver TV production in the most effective and sustainable way possible. The remote production of Åre by SVT is a massive step closer to cloud production which is likely to be possible in near future, added Adde Granberg.

Yet another Alpine World Championship in Åre has come to an end. The third through the years. Skiers, visitors and volunteers have lived and breathed the World Championships for weeks. The organization has done the same for years. Beyond all the races that have been raced, the medals that have been awarded, something else has taken place. Perhaps the thoughts have been thought before, maybe they have been awaken when being here. Thoughts of the real meaning of life, or rather, thoughts of what kind of life we want to live. Thoughts of where our children should grow up, of where our everyday lives should take place. Where life should be lived.

Shilpa Shetty's island therapy in gorgeous Montenegro, the best of the Mediterranean
Bollywood actress-TV show judge-fitness author Shipa Shetty talks about the great time she had in Montenegro.
Montenegro (means "Black Mountain" in Italian and often dubbed as the Switzerland of the Mediterranean) is a south European and a Mediterranean country, and one of the most interesting places in the world to visit, with staggeringly spectacular scenery. Majestic mountains, breathtaking beaches and larger-than-life locals, proves that good things can come in small packages.
The Montenegro government is working hard to develop the country as an elite tourist destination. Well, it definitely attracted Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty and her friends.
Montenegro is one of the fastest growing travel and tourism economy in the world, as per the World Travel & Tourism Council.
Every woman would love to get such a SURPRISE!
Every woman wants a gift for her birthday and for special occasions such as wedding anniversary. And if the surprise is unexpected, its even better!
That's what Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty got on her birthday. Husband Raj Kundra not only took Shilpa to Montenegro for a a three-day getaway, he also flew down fifty of their closest friends to have a great time (I wish I was a friend of Raj).
No wonder Shilpa Shetty was mighty impressed with her hubby.
Stayed at Sveti Stefan Aman Island Resort
They first flew down to the Italian city of Naples, from where it was a three-hour drive to Montenegro. Raj Kundra had booked the entire Sveti Stefan Aman island resort (almost) for his friends.
Watch: Montenegro Aman Sveti Stefan
Shilpa Shetty and Raj spent a lot of time on the beach which was a stone's throw away from their room.
I enjoy paragliding and jet skiing but there was no scope for it in Montenegro, which is more of a luxury island.
Relished Mediterranean cuisine
Seafood is a common dish in Montenegro. Shilpa had grilled, preservative-free organic food wherever possible and gorged on cake and Turkish sweets like baklava and tulumba.
The traditional dishes of Montenegro have a distinctively Italian flavour which shows in the bread-making style, the way meat is cured and dried, cheese, wine, spirits, soup, stew, stuffed peppers and meatballs.
Exploring the Place
Montenegro's Venetian architecture, the Romanesque cathedral and clock tower are major attractions.
Shilpa and Raj also spent time in the coastal city of Kotor, a ridiculously stunning town that it looks almost surreal. On their way back from Aman Sveti Stefan resort, they saw the largest natural harbour in the eastern Mediterranean, which looked majestic.
Montenegro Tourism
Montenegro is one of the most southern European states and faces the south part of the Adriatic Sea (its separated from Italy by the Adriatic Sea).
Located south of Croatia, and with a mild Mediterranean climate, Montenegro has natural diversity as well as historic grandeur. The tiny country boasts of two Unesco World Heritage Sites, including the walled town of Kotor.
Christian, Muslim, Turkish, Slav and many more civilizations converged here, making Montenegro a crossroad of culture and history.
The Balkan country has rugged mountains, medieval villages and a narrow strip of beaches along its Adriatic coastline. Montenegro is also home to the Durmitor National Park, home to bears and wolves, limestone peaks, glacial lakes and 1300 metres-deep Tara River Canyon.
While visiting Montenegro is safe for foreign visitors, few incidents of violence in Kotor has highlighted concerns about rampant organised crime and corruption that threatens Montenegro's growing reputation as a tourist paradise.

Slang Words for Friends (And How to Use Them)
When something is important, we create lots of words to refer to it. You've probably heard, for instance, that the Inuit people have plenty of words for snow, since it is an important concept to them.
One widely important concept is friendship. Because friends are such a vital part in so many lives, people have developed tons of words to describe these important figures.
We've compiled a list of slang words for friends here. Keep in mind, however, that the majority of these words are used by English speakers, so don't worry if a slang word for friend in your culture doesn't appear on this particular list.
use these links to navigate this guide >>
Slang Words for Friends
(Noun): Spanish word for friend. Although it is Spanish in origin, many English speakers are familiar with the word and use it regularly.
Example: "This is my amigo, Ben."
Are you interested in learning more slang words in Spanish? Read our guide to the top Mexican slang words and phrases.
(Noun): A shortened way of saying "best friend." Use this to refer to your closest friends.
Example: "I've known her since I was two. She's my bestie."
(Noun): Acronym for "best friend forever." Like bestie, you would use this only in reference to your closest friends. This term is more common with women than with men.
Example: "I would do anything for her because she's my BFF."
(Noun): A male friend. Generally used for friends you trust more.
Example: "See that guy? That's Juan. He's my boy."
(Noun): Shortened version of "brother." This can be applied both to close male friends and more distant male acquaintances. It's commonly put in front of words with 'ro' sounds for extra fun effects, such as brotato or brotagonist.
Example: "How's it going, bro?"
(Noun): An intensely close (but still platonic) relationship between two men.
Example: "Tom has a bromance with Adam. They've been best friends for years."
Brother from Another Mother
(Noun): An extremely close male friend. In some ways, it's like saying "bestie" or "BFF."
Example: "I've been friends with Darius since I was in diapers. He's like my brother from another mother."
Bruv
(Noun): Another shortened version of brother. This one originates in the UK.
Example: "You know I'm here for you, bruv, but you're still asking for too much."
Definition 1: (Noun): A close friend. You can use it for friends of any gender, but it's often applied to male friends.
Example: "Joe is my buddy. I go fishing with him almost every weekend."
Definition 2: (Verb): The act of getting close to someone platonically.
Example: "I'm going to buddy up to my boss, so he gives me a raise."
(Noun): One of a few Spanish words for girl. This is frequently used as a friendly way of addressing female friends.
Example: "You're so amazing, chica!"
Definition 1: (Noun): A gender-neutral term for a close friend in your social circle.
Example: "Rob and I hang out every weekend because he's my chum."
Definition 2: (Verb): Befriending someone.
Example: "I've been chumming around with Victor lately."
(Noun): You can use this to address a time-honored friend who has been through a lot with you.
Example: "Zeke is my comrade. We've been through thick and thin together."
(Noun): Your inner circle of friends. It's never used for just a single person, but for a group of friends.
Example: "I've known my crew since we were all in kindergarten together."
(Noun): Shortened word for "family." Although it's an abbreviated version of family, it's usually still only used in reference to a single person.
Example: "How've you been doing, fam?"
(Noun): This one is used similarly to "boy," except for female friends. You can use it to address or refer to a close female friend.
Example: "Alicia is my girl. She's had my back for years."
Homeboy/Homegirl
(Noun): A term that's usually reserved for friends that grew up with you or are from the same area. Use "boy" or "girl" depending on whether the person is male or female.
Example: "Eric's my homeboy. He grew up in the house next door."
(Noun): Gender-neutral version of homeboy or homegirl.
Example: "My homeslice, Maria, was born in the same hospital as me."
(Noun): Similar in meaning to homeboy/girl and homeslice. Alternatively, homie is sometimes what you call someone in the same group or even gang as you.
Example: "My homie Ben and I play for the same baseball team."
Kemosabe
(Noun): Originally from old TV show The Lone Ranger. Some people may use it in reference to their most trusted friends.
Example: "Thanks for having my back, Kemosabe."
(Noun): A friend you love hanging out with. This is more popular in the UK or even Australia than in the US.
Example: "I'm going out to lunch with my mate, Josh."
(Noun): Short, easy word for friend. Unlike many of the other words on this list, pal doesn't imply closeness, so it works well for acquaintances.
Example: "Hank and I are pals."
(Noun): It may sound illegal, but partner in crime is just what you may call a friend that you can always rely on. This is someone you usually form intricate plans with.
Example: "Liz is my partner in crime. I can always plan to have a good time with her."
(Noun): Short for "people." Like fam, you would use this in reference to a group of friends rather than an individual person.
Example: "Here's a picture of me and my peeps at the beach."
(Noun): A friend who's so close, you could even trust them to potentially die for you. This term is also sometimes used in a romantic sense, so it helps to add "friend" or "bestie" at the end to clarify what you mean.
Example: "Candice is my ride or die bestie. I know she'll always be there for me."
(Noun): Short for "sister." It can be used to refer to your sister, but it's just as often used to refer to close female friends.
Example: "I've known my sis Patrice since I was a baby."
Sister from Another Mister
(Noun): This is the female version of "brother from another mother." Use it similarly for a female friend who's so close to you, she might as well be a sister.
Example: "She's my sister from another mister because she's had my back since I was in grade school."
(Noun): A group of close-knit friends. It's more common to hear women refer to their friends this way than men, but it's still gender neutral.
Example: "This is a selfie I took with my squad while we were bar hopping the other night."
As you can see, there are tons of words out there for friend. This just goes to show that some of the most important people in our life are the friends who come along for the ride.

Netflix has confirmed Queer Eye will be returning to the streaming service for season 2 sometime in 2018, although an official date has not yet been set. The revival, which premiered February 7, has become a surprise hit for Netflix, earning praise from critics and audiences alike. (It currently boasts a 96 percent Certified Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.) The show's original creator, David Collins of Scout Productions, returned to produce the Netflix series in association with ITV Entertainment Company.
The original Queer Eye for the Straight Guy aired on Bravo from 2003 and 2007 and became the first mainstream reality show to truly celebrate the LGBTQ community. Groundbreaking in concept and execution, the program became a monster hit to boot and turned "Fashion Savant" Carson Kressley, "Design Doctor" Thom Filicia, "Food and Wine Connoisseur" Ted Allen, "Grooming Guru" Kyan Douglas, and "Culture Vulture" Jai Rodriquez into household names. (At the peak of their popularity, the team was commonly referred to as The Fab Five.
Fifteen years later, the show - now rebranded as the abbreviated Queer Eye - returned to the small screen by way of Netflix. The season featured a whole new cast of gay men swooping into unsuspecting lives to save the world from massive faux pas and certifiably unfortunate beards. Although the cast - Tan France (fashion), Karamo Brown (culture), Bobby Berk (design), Antoni Porowski (food and wine), and Jonathan van Ness (grooming) - certainly had formidable designer shoes to fill, the general consensus among critics is that they've risen to the challenge fabulously.
The revival gently tweaks the original's thesis by transporting the cast to various points across the United States (particularly those that straddle the red-blue divide) rather than keeping them cooped up in the generally progressive playground of Manhattan. The first season of the new Queer Eye found the cast traveling through Georgia and visiting small towns like Marietta and Winder.
Queer Eye isn't the only unscripted Netflix series to be granted a second season. In the same announcement, the streaming service revealed it's ordered new episodes of documentary series The Toys That Made Us, which delves into the history of some of the world's most popular toy franchises; Dope, a sobering look at the war on drugs through the eyes of addicts, dealers, and police; Nailed It, a reality competition in which barely competent cooks attempt to recreate "edible masterpieces"; and Drug Lords, a docuseries that profiles a number of increasingly intimidating drug kingpins.


Ashley Shiwarski is one of HomeServe's most effective sales representatives because she is not selling anything. Since August, 2014, Ashley has been meeting with city officials to share information about the NLC Service Line Warranty Program. Formerly a math teacher, Ashley's passion is education and helping others. In her role, Ashley is motivated by the opportunity to share information with cities that can help educate homeowners about their responsibility for their water and sewer lines and protect them from unanticipated and often expensive repairs that can have a serious impact on their finances.
One recent example was the City of Van Meter, Iowa. A resident had a water line break and she was completely shocked to find out that she was responsible to fix the line and the cost would exceed $4,000. The resident told her story at a city council meeting, which prompted the City to seek out a solution. This particular case touched Ashley because the city council members wanted to help the resident, and even considered changing the ordinance and covering those types of repairs. However they quickly realized that the City budget would never be able to absorb that expense without raising water rates. The City of Van Meter considered this program to be the ideal solution and Ashley was glad she could help them to implement it so that no other resident would be blindsided by this problem.
In another example, Rochester, Minnesota, Ashley connected with a concerned resident, explained the program and, as a result, he spoke during the public comments of their Council meeting about all of the reasons why the City should adopt the program. After that, Ashley was able to work through any concerns with the City Council President and he became an advocate of the program as well.
Ashley's role includes working closely with state and national government organizations, mayors and government staff. She presents at public council meetings and at state and national conferences to promote the program. Ashley also helps to manage existing municipal relationships with partner cities to ensure and maintain a positive relationship.
Ashley has been in this role three years. She has been the number one sales representative for the NLC Service Line Warranty Program for the last two years and she is poised to be in the number one position for a third year in a row. To date, residents of 112 cities are receiving valuable education and protection as a result of Ashley's efforts. In the past three years there have been 739 repair jobs in those partner cities, saving residents over $530,000.
In addition to her educational approach, Ashley is a consummate professional who is well prepared before each call. City officials appreciate her in depth knowledge of their specific issues and this helps her to build trust by offering meaningful solutions for their residents.
Ashley has also mentored and trained numerous sales representatives in her approach to educating and sharing information with cities. She is a true role model to her peers and they all agree that her passion for helping others comes through on every interaction with her prospects.
Aside from her career, Ashley dedicates significant personal time in service to others. She is an active volunteer in the Pittsburgh, PA chapter of Best Buddies. Best Buddies is the world's largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communication skills, and feel valued by society.
Ashley is a recipient of HomeServe's 2017 President's award, recognizing exceptional employees.
HomeServe is proud to have employees like Ashley who truly put the customer at the heart of everything they do.

MUÑATONES CASTLE (Muskiz)
Muñatones Castle was built over a long period of time extending throughout the 14th and 15th centuries, against the backdrop of the devastating factional wars that wracked the Basque Country at the time. For its exceptional historical value and the quality of the remains preserved, the casel has been declared a listed monument.
The system of external walls make this tower the only true castle in Bizkaia. It has strong ties with the powerful Lope García de Salazar, man of arms and letters, who wrote the celebrated Bienandanzas e Fortunas.
The fortress is also closely associated with the forge at El Pobal, built at the beginning of the sixteenth century by Ochoa de Salazar (grandson of the chronicler Lope García), which remained in the family for nearly 200 years.
A visit to the two monuments –castle and forge– offers a good illustration of different but complementary aspects of the history of Bizkaia. Together, the yield a wealth of information on the way of life of the rural nobility and the sources of wealth on which their power was based.

The effect of different bleaching protocols, used with and without sodium ascorbate, on bond strength between composite and enamel
This in vitro study aims to evaluate whether a solution of 10% sodium ascorbate (SA) may exert a beneficial effect on the bonding of composite to enamel after using different bleaching agents and protocols. Microtensile bond strength (μTBS) was evaluated on 72 freshly extracted human central incisors, divided into eight experimental groups and one control group (total n = 9): Group 1 serves as control (nonbleached). Group 2 was bleached with 5% carbamide peroxide. Group 3 was bleached with 5% carbamide peroxide and then treated with 10% SA. Group 4 was bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide. Group 5 was bleached with 10% carbamide peroxide, then treated with 10% SA. Group 6 was bleached with 16% carbamide peroxide. Group 7 was bleached with 16% carbamide peroxide, then treated with 10% SA. Group 8 was bleached with 6% hydrogen peroxide. Group 9 was bleached with 6% hydrogen peroxide, then treated with 10% SA. All groups were restored immediately after the different treatments using a resin composite. The μTBS values were measured using a universal testing machine and statistical analysis was performed by means of normality and variance analyses, SIDAK test for univariate test and multiple comparisons, and Student test to compare μTBS values of each group with the control. The mean μTBS values in groups 2, 4, 6, 8 were significantly lower than controls. For groups 3, 5, 7, 9, subjected to antioxidant (10% SA) application, all μTBS values increased significantly. However, only for Groups 3 and 5 there was no significant difference with the control. Applying 10% SA for 10 min may improve the bond strength composite/bleached enamel just when whitening is performed with 5% and 10% carbamide peroxide.

'S.N.L.' Spends a Night at the Oscars With Will Smith
In his opening monologue on "Saturday Night Live," the host and comedian Jerrod Carmichael swore he wouldn't do it. "I'm not gonna talk about it," he said. He didn't even have to say what it was.
But sure enough, "S.N.L." found several ways to take on the widely discussed incident from last weekend's Academy Awards, in which Will Smith slapped Chris Rock (a former "S.N.L." cast member) after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith.
The Slap was addressed most directly in a sketch that aired about halfway through the program, which cast Chris Redd as Smith and Carmichael as a seat filler at the Oscars show who found himself next to Smith in the moments before Rock made his remarks.
Carmichael at first professed to be a fan of Smith's, saying that he admired his film "The Pursuit of Happyness" and still used his song "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It" as his ringtone. He asked if he could take a selfie just as they noticed Rock had come onstage.
Next, we heard the sound of Rock's voice uttering his now notorious joke: "Jada, I love you. 'G.I. Jane 2,' can't wait to see it."
Redd said to Carmichael, "Hey, I'll be right back, man," and strode out of the shot.
Then we heard the slap and watched as the expression on Carmichael's face changed from delight to bafflement.
As Redd nonchalantly returned to his seat, he asked Carmichael, "Hey, so where you from, man?"
A shaken Carmichael stammered out his response: "Uh, nowhere, man," he said.
Redd continued to maintain a conversation with Carmichael while occasionally shouting expletive-laden remarks at the stage.
Soon, the two were joined by Kyle Mooney, playing another seat filler who was oblivious to Carmichael's nonverbal warnings to stay away.

"Oh my God, we're right next to Will Smith?" Mooney exclaimed. "I gotta tweet this." He glanced at his phone: "And he's trending," he said as he suddenly became unnerved.
Redd, still buoyant, introduced himself to Mooney and asked, "What's your name?"
"I don't — they didn't give me one," he uncomfortably replied.
Redd said the past two years had been complicated because Covid, Zoom meetings and — his voice trembling here — "Red Table Talk."
When Carmichael's phone rang, he tried to stop it from playing "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It," but Redd told him not to switch it off. "Don't answer that, man!" he said. "Let it ring! Everything is beautiful, y'all!"
Opening Monologue of the Week
At the outset of his monologue, Carmichael made his claim that he wouldn't discuss the Slap — "Aren't you sick of talking about it?" he asked the audience — while continuing to reflect on it, without actually describing it or naming its participants.
Though he was excited about the topic at the start of the week, Carmichael said, "By Friday, I made a vow to myself — I promised myself I would never, ever talk about it again." That changed after Lorne Michaels, the "S.N.L." creator and executive producer, made a visit to his dressing room, Carmichael said.
"He was like, 'I think you need to talk about it," he said. "He said the nation needs to heal."
Carmichael also talked about his new HBO special, "Rothaniel," in which he comes out as gay. Reacting to applause from the audience, Carmichael said it was "nice but an expected response in New York."
He continued, "That's actually why I live here. If you say you're gay in New York, you can ride the bus for free and people just give you pizza. Honestly, if you're gay in New York, you get to host 'Saturday Night Live.' This is the gayest thing you could possibly do."

In the closing moments of his monologue, Carmichael took the opportunity to address former President Obama. "And unfortunately, I have some news for you, Barack," he said. "You're not going to like this. We need you back because I think you're going to have to talk about it. The nation needs to heal."
Cold Open of the Week
The leadoff sketch this weekend was a parody of "Fox & Friends" that featured Alex Moffat, Heidi Gardner and Mikey Day as the hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade; Kenan Thompson and Kate McKinnon as Justice Clarence Thomas and Ginni Thomas; and Cecily Strong as Judge Jeanine Pirro.
The sketch concluded with James Austin Johnson, in his recurring role as former President Trump, who couldn't resist offering his thoughts on the Slap.
"I did see slap," Johnson said as Trump. "I enjoyed slap. I was very impressed by Hitch. Quite an arm on Hitch. I always knew Hitch had an arm." Still, he said the Oscars had been a sad night: "That kind of behavior is not going to help Kevin James get a date with Allegra Cole, I'll tell you that," he explained.
Weekend Update Jokes of the Week
Over at the Weekend Update desk, the anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che continued to riff on — what else? — the Slap.
Jost began:
Intelligence officials are saying that Vladimir Putin is being misinformed by advisers about how badly the Russian military is performing in Ukraine. Which is kind of like Will Smith's agent telling him, "You crushed it at the Oscars." Will Smith — for those of you that don't know — walked onstage during the Academy Awards and slapped Chris Rock after he made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith. Which I think was a disgraceful act that sets a terrible precedent for having to defend your wife at awards shows.
Che added:
During his acceptance speech, Will Smith said, "Love will make you do crazy things." You know what else makes you do crazy things? Crazy. But I understand where Will's coming from. You can't expect him to sit there and watch another man jump all over his wife without signing an N.D.A.
Jost continued the thread:
Yesterday, Will Smith resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He wasn't going to, but then Jada gave him that look. If Will Smith had been expelled, he would have joined a small group of people kicked out of the Academy including Bill Cosby, Roman Polanski and Harvey Weinstein. Or, as they're also known, "Bad Boys for Life."

Weekend Update Guest of the Week
Just when it seemed that every celebrity you could think of had commented on the Slap, "S.N.L." found one with a few more thoughts to share: O.J. Simpson, who was played by Thompson in a visit to the Weekend Update desk.
Asked by Che whether he sided with Smith or Rock, Thompson affably responded, "You know me — I hate conflict." He also claimed not to understand Rock's reference to "G.I. Jane." When it was explained to him that it was a movie from the 1990s, Thompson replied, "The '90s? Oh, I don't remember nothing from the '90s."

Although Akshaye may not have tasted box office success this year, his work has been widely appreciated. Salaam-E-Ishq, Naqaab, and Gandhi My Father all flopped, but Akshaye did not bear the brunt of any of these film's failures. He was considered the best thing in all of these movies, which goes to show he can rise above any film. Also, he was seen in a cameo in Aaja Nachle, for which he was also appreciated. In Gandhi My Father, he gave perhaps the best performance of his career, and that alone warrants him on this list. 2008 is looking even better for him in terms of success, with the releases of Race and Shortcut.

Debt and Nontraditional College Students
Lately I've seen a lot of positive (or just "oh wow") stories about middle aged people going back to college, fulfilling their dreams, and earning skills to succeed in the economy. They're the fastest growing student population!
One college in New Jersey recently launched a special program called Fomentamos Tu Futuro targeted toward Latino adults over age 25.
"Given the rapid growth of the 'nontraditional' student population and the critical role that institutions such as University of Phoenix play in serving these students…. I am delighted that University of Phoenix has decided to invest in research in this area, and look forward to the resulting enhancements in teaching and learning, said a member of the Phoenix advisory board back in 2008.
Alan Tripp wrote earlier this year in the Washington Post that nontraditional students "could also be one of the most important game-changers in the ongoing national discussion on college completion and the continuing dialogue at College Inc. about how to fix higher education."
Yea, they're also, it turns out, making some risky financial decisions. According to a Reuters article by Mitch Lipka:
Educational borrowing is up for every age group over the past three years, but it has grown far more quickly among those between 35 and 49, according to the analysis of more than 3 million credit reports provided to Reuters by the credit score tracking site CreditKarma (CreditKarma.com). That group saw its school debt burden increase by a staggering 47 percent, according to the analysis.
The average student loan debt for those aged 38 to 41 was the biggest of that group — about $12,000, up from just under $9,000 in 2009.
According to Tripp, about two-thirds of nontraditional students drop out of college. About 30 percent of these dropouts cite "difficulty managing finances" as the reason for their failure to complete college. No doubt the debt load makes managing finances pretty difficult.

Treasury's Cohen Warns of Terrorists' Ties to Organized Crime, While Citing Success in Cutting Funds to Al Qaeda
Speaking at the annual meeting of the American Bankers Association/American Bar Association Money Laundering Conference in Washington, D.C., David Cohen, Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing at the U.S. Treasury discussed his department's efforts to halt the financing of terrorism by individual donors operating inside the country. While crediting financial sanctions with stemming funding for Al Qaeda, Cohen, said that the Taliban 'was in much stronger financial shape than al Qaeda,' because of income from extorting poppy farmers and drug traffickers, as well as streams of 'protection' money from legitimate Afghan businesses.
