Remote production: Ramping up productivity and reducing eco-impact
By David Davies2022-08-17T08:47:00+01:00
Increasing access to a "more encompassing" product ecosystem is allowing broadcasters to reap the technical, practical and environmental benefits of remote production, as a cluster of IBC 2022 exhibitors explain to David Davies.
What was temporary is now being refined and made permanent. Remote production (RP) is certainly not the first technology trend to have passed through this process, but it's arguable that the pace at which it has grown is without recent parallel.
EditShare: FLEX Cloud Edit+
Moreover, it is clear that many broadcasters are now seeking to explore the limits of this operational model as its numerous advantages become increasingly evident. Specialists including Dejero, LTN, Caton Technology, Haivision and EditShare are providing remote production tools and technology to help them do exactly that.
Rob Waters: Dejero Global Sales Director
Rob Waters, Global Sales Director of connectivity specialist Dejero, provides a concise summary of RP's trajectory: "Remote production is not new. However, the pandemic created a scenario that accelerated the adoption of remote production, impacting broadcasters all around the world."
Discover 5G & Remote Production in Live Sport - IBC 2022
How to do 5G Remote Production … in the middle of nowhere
Read Remote Post Production: "Some things can't be replicated in the cloud"
"Suddenly, travelling is restricted and having too many people in the field, close to each other, is problematic. So remote work becomes extremely compelling because you can deploy smaller teams and still transmit low latency, high definition video with an easier set-up. You can go live much faster with less people and less cabling infrastructure, or simply record and transfer to your facility later over IP connections. Less travelling also means less carbon emissions, which is great for the environment."
So as IBC Show visitors will discover, RP is presently the centre of remarkable creativity across broadcast & media. What follows is a snapshot of that innovation, covering new tools designed to improve connectivity, streamline workflows, and enhance efficiency of production models rooted in RP.
A more encompassing remote production ecosystem
Without robust and reliable connectivity, you cannot possibly have an effective remote production workflow. Hence this is a major target of R&D, as Dejero's Waters can attest.
"A more encompassing remote production system is becoming the norm as companies offer solutions that complement each other," Waters says. "Dejero is very focused on the connectivity aspects of broadcasting, so field crews can use our EnGo mobile transmitters to go live or quickly transfer large files from anywhere, even in dead zones or locations with intermittent cellular reception."

Collaboration is another abiding theme and Waters highlights Dejero products' support for the use of IFB (Interruptible Fold Back) and intercom, enabling distributed teams to communicate with each other in real-time. Meanwhile, the roll-out of 4K capture and 5G connectivity is reflected in two products that the company will be showcasing at IBC 2022 (stand 2.B51).
"We're about to launch the new EnGo 3 and EnGo 3x mobile transmitters with native 5G modems and a completely redesigned RF and antenna architecture," Waters says. "The EnGo 3x will offer 4K UHD video transmission and multi-camera support with up to four fully-synced HD feeds. Customers who buy this transmitter won't need to pay an additional licence to broadcast in 4K UHD; it's already included in the base unit."
Like many others, Waters indicates that 5G is going to be a game-changer for remote video production. "Increasing access to 5G networks will make it easier for broadcasters to transmit video and transfer files from locations where they previously struggled with coverage and bandwidth," he explains. "
However, 5G networks are only one side of the coin. The other side is that you still need equipment designed not only to be 5G compatible, but also leverage its full potential. Dejero's 5G implementation takes the best of our high-performing Smart Blending Technology and combines it with best-in-class RF and antenna design to drive the most resilient connectivity on the EnGo 3 and 3x."
High quality standards and the right RP tools
Global video broadcast solutions provider LTN (5.A77) is another company to have recognised early on that "the industry was under radical transformation, with the pandemic acting as a catalyst for change," says LTN General Manager of Event Production and Transmission, Mike Burk. "Whether it's a local sports event or a nationally distributed show, remote production demands high quality standards and the right technology tools. With this in mind, LTN used its foresight to launch its LTN Flex Production solution."
LTN Flex allows users to transport any number of feeds back to a centralised hub. LTN Transport, LTN's IP-powered network, transmits video feeds to the company's centralised production facility in Kansas City. There, explains Burk, "operators eliminate the variables associated with on-site crews or equipment, and take advantage of a remote team of experts to ensure that each job is successful."
Few would argue with Burk's assertion that "we are in the midst of one of the most exciting periods of transition the industry has ever seen. LTN has been there for the move from standard definition to HD and 4K, and now the shift to remote production is taking things to new levels."
The potential for sports, he indicates, is especially significant: "We are now seeing niche sports able to reach global audiences across every screen, and media companies can distribute more content for events at a better quality and much lower cost. The quality we have seen in streaming has rapidly improved and will undoubtedly only get better over the next few years."
Local production on LAN
A driving impulse behind new remote production tools and technology is to ensure that personnel can work as effectively at home or in the field as they can back in the broadcast centre. That certainly applies to IP distribution specialist Caton Technology (1.F36) and its newly announced Caton NDI Gateway, which allows users of the NDI video-over-IP transport technology to send their locally-produced NDI output over the internet.
Read more NDI vs. SDI: New remote production solutions
Powered by Caton Transport Protocols (CTP) and CatonNet Video Platform (CVP), the Caton NDI Gateway works by converting the NDI signal into a transport stream (TS) and distributing it over the internet in an optimised manner. Furthermore, the TS file received can also be converted to an NDI signal for further collaborative production with its dual-way conversion ability.

Jason Ho, Senior Business Development Director – broadcast and media at Caton Technology, remarks that: "the rise of NDI really came at the right time in the sense that a lot of people were looking at remote production. Simultaneously, local production on LAN has greatly benefited from NDI, which allows users to work with high-quality video, a mix of media, and even SDI replacement. But with its high bit-rate output, it's not ideal for delivering 4K video over the Internet. With our new NDI Gateway, we enable NDI transmission over WAN, meaning that remote workforces can collaborate seamlessly with locally deployed NDI set-ups."
Jason Ho: Caton Technology Senior Business Development Director
Ho adds that he also sees the combination of NDI and WAN being useful for conference applications, where the pandemic has heightened the need to enable high-quality remote contributions to international gatherings.
Multi-camera contribution over IP
Mark Horchler, product marketing director at Haivision (stand 2.B36), pinpoints the specific aspects of remote production that it has seen achieve greater traction over the past few years.
Mark Horchler: Haivision Product Marketing Director
"During the pandemic we witnessed a rapid uptake of multi-camera contribution over IP, the internet and mobile networks accompanied by bi-directional low latency video streaming to enable decentralised collaboration. SRT, 5G and cloud technology have made remote production and decentralised workflows the new normal for live broadcasting."
Haivision's RP range includes its Makito X4 video encoders and decoders, which were recently used by American football team Philadelphia Eagles for RP of away games. Horchler adds: "We also offer the highly portable and user-friendly Haivision Pro460 for real-time encoding and transmission over mobile networks including 5G, as well as StreamHub for receiving and decoding streams to SDI, NDI and ST-2110 workflows. Our cloud solution, which we will be unveiling at IBC, can be used to remotely control field units and route live video streams from event location to production."
The company will also be using its IBC appearance to "demonstrate how broadcasters can now incorporate video from both stationary and mobile cameras over both fixed and wireless networks using a combination of 5G plus SST and SRT technologies, which enable low latency video contribution for remote production.
"By bringing in ultra-low latency video streams from all types of video sources, fixed and mobile, and keeping them in sync from a live venue to a central broadcast facility or decentralised cloud workflow, Haivision is helping broadcasters to produce live video content in innovative ways."
Remote production editing as a 'cultural change' enabler
For EditShare (exhibiting at IBC2022 on 7.A335), there is the growing recognition that remote editing now has the potential to improve employees' working lives.
"Video editors and other top creative talent in the post industry have tired of the 'long hours in darkened rooms' culture and want to stay fresh by managing their work/life balance," remarks Stephen Tallamy, CTO of EditShare. "Rather than commute into city centre locations, technology allows them to work from any location they choose, with just a good internet connection to cloud processing."
Stephen Tallamy: EditShare Chief Technology Officer
In enabling cloud-based remote editing, Tallamy believes that there are three key issues that always must be addressed: "The first is access to the right tools, and at EditShare we have focused on creating an ecosystem in which users have their preferred tools, whether that is Avid, Apple, Adobe, Autodesk, Da Vinci or anything else. You can even move projects between platforms if you need to.
"Second is the need to transport content between the ground and the cloud. This is perceived as a potential deal-breaker for many users. Fortunately, there are specialists in accelerated communications; we have partnered with Data Expedition to incorporate transfers in the gigabit range direct to Amazon S3.
"Third is the often forgotten issue of managing the cloud. It is all very well saying that you can start and stop processes as you need to, and only pay when you are working, but you have to manage your cloud environment to achieve this goal. Again, we have partnered with a third party, Teradici, to integrate its Cloud Access Manager for resource control and single sign-on."
EditShare's own latest developments include FLEX Cloud Edit+, which integrates specialist software from Teradici and Data Expectation, and employs industry standards like Microsoft's directory service, Active Directory. Providing a fast on-ramp to the cloud without the need for specialist knowledge, FLEX Cloud Edit+ automates the management of the environment through simple configuration and single sign-on user access.
Tallamy reveals: "Building on cloud software we have been offering for four years, this new environment is currently in advanced beta trials with a number of users worldwide, from boutique post facilities to national broadcasters."
With some contributors to this article reporting that broadcast customers are finding they can save upwards of 40% on live productions by using a degree of remote production, there is no question about the longevity of this approach. As many broadcasters also work to adopt long-term environmental strategies, it's also going to play a big part in making the industry greener, too.

Nationals: Can Michael A. Taylor Recapture His 2017 Form?
By Tim James
WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 12: Michael A. Taylor /
After an impressive two-hit night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, can Michael Taylor help the Nationals by recapturing his 2017 form?
The Washington Nationals' 7-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Nationals Park on Friday, June 14th featured major contributions from players accustomed to doing the heavy lifting for the Nats. Ace starting pitcher Max Scherzer was on his game once again, allowing the Diamondbacks only two runs on three hits over seven innings pitched while striking out 10 as he earned his fifth win of the year.
Anthony Rendon and Howie Kendrick continued their hot hitting ways, as both players homered in the bottom of the sixth to give Washington and Scherzer some breathing room. Leadoff man Trea Turner also was key to the win, going 1 for 3 with a pair of runs scored and his 10th steal of the year.
A big contribution to the win also came from an unlikely source. In the Nats' starting lineup for only the second time in the team's last 24 games, Michael A. Taylor made the most of his rare opportunity as he went 2 for 4 with a pair of runs scored and two steals.
Both of Taylor's hits came at the start of innings in which the Nats would score runs. Leading off the bottom of the third, Taylor beat a Diamondbacks' infield shift by drilling a single to the right of second base. He would later score Washington's first of three runs in the frame on Turner's double. In the bottom of the seventh, Taylor showed his speed as he beat out a bunt to start the inning, stole second and third base and came home on a single by Victor Robles.
Even Taylor's outs in the game were encouraging. He was retired in the fourth on a fly to right and in the eighth on a fly to center, but both balls were hit fairly well and showed the six-year right-handed swinging veteran's ability to hit the ball the other way with authority.
The results on Friday had to be encouraging for the soft-spoken Taylor, who has struggled over the past year and a half after having what looked to be a possible breakthrough season in 2017. In that campaign, Taylor posted a career-best 104 OPS+ as he hit .271 with 19 homers and 53 RBI and capped the year off with a dramatic grand slam home run at Wrigley in Game Four of the National League Divisional Series against the Cubs.
Unfortunately for Taylor and the Nats, things have not gone well for him since his late-season heroics in that season. His inability to make contact (among players with 1600 or fewer at-bats since 2014, Taylor's 533 strikeouts are the fourth most in Major League Baseball) and the emergence of young outfielders Juan Soto and Victor Robles have limited his playing time.
Washington's outfield defense is clearly better when Taylor is in the game. His tremendous range and excellent arm make him one of baseball's best defensive center fielders. His elite speed can be a big factor not only on defense but on the bases as well.
Next. Max Scherzer Is Going Nowhere. dark
Will Friday's game be the start of Taylor's emergence for the Nats, or will he return to the background to be heard from only on rare occasions? If he can make contact at the plate, get on base to use his top-end speed and continue to display Gold Glove level defense in center, perhaps Taylor will emerge as an x-factor, particularly against left-handed starting pitcher, for the Nats in the season's second half.

Questions about electric golf carts? We're here to help!
1. How many batteries does the golf carts have?
Most golf cart models have 6 units of 8v175Ah batteries, manufactured in-house at Speedways Batteries for optimum performance of electric vehicles. Some golf carts with greater capacity can also have 8 units of 6v225ah batteries to enhance the range of the vehicle. You can ask for the choice of battery packs if you have any concerns about the range of your vehicle.
2. How long does the golf cart run on a full charge?
A full charge takes 6 to 8 hours, or overnight and powers the vehicle to run about 80kms. The smart chargers supplied with our golf carts are designed to cut off the power supply after the batteries have been fully charged to prevent over-charging and elongate battery performance and life. We recommend letting the vehicle run the entire course of it's charge before charging it a complete cycle again for better backup and longevity. Charging too much, just as not charging enough is not recommended.
3. What is the speed of the golf carts?
Our golf carts have been capped to the speed of 25 kmph for optimum performance while keeping in mind the safety of the drivers and passengers. We can customize the vehicles for various speed capacities if you have any requirements that need for it to be so – however, the standard speed limit is recommended for vehicles that are open and used for private complexes as the safe limit.
4. After what duration would the battery pack have to be replaced on the golf cart?
The life of batteries is variable based on maintenance and usage but on an average, a well maintained car should require a battery pack change after 3 to 4 years. If you follow proper maintenance instructions and get the cart routinely serviced, the battery pack can even outperform its expected life capacity.
5. Can I also carry material along with passengers in the golf cart?
Depending on the model, the suggested weight limit is recommended but your golf cart is equipped to handle both material and people on its frame. We recommend an additional luggage basket or a loader fitting if you use your golf cart regularly for materials to prevent any damage to the body with mishandling.
6. Can I drive the golf cart on the road?
The golf carts can handle most terrains including and not limited to roads. However, these are only permissible to run in your internal complexes and don't have the permission to be used as road vehicles. If you have roads in your premises, the golf carts will run optimally.
8. Can I customize any model to suit my specific requirements?
Yes, we can customize any model to your specifications. If you require any custom accessories or needs, feel free to discuss with us and we can create a custom solution for you.
9. What is the availability of spare parts and service?
We are known for our efficient and timely service. We provide on site service for all our vehicles and have used spares that are easily available in your city. We also provide an AMC for the maintenance of your carts. Our golf carts come with a 1 year warranty.
10. How do I maintain my golf cart?
Unlike traditional vehicles, electric vehicles require much less maintainence making them not just very economical to run but also to upkeep.
Our golf carts primarily need to be maintained by ensuring the water levels in the batteries are at their optimal level.
Getting your cart routinely serviced (free under the warranty period) and having the maintenance staff properly trained to handle any small adjustments.
Ensuring the cart is kept clean, dust free and parked for charging in a covered shelter.
Driving the vehicle at least once a week and charging it a complete cycle.
Following safety instructions in the manual and ensuring no unauthorized use of the vehicle by the drivers.


Brett Abbott, the Donald and Marilyn Keough Family Curator of Photography and Head of Collections at the High Museum of Art, has announced his resignation. He will be moving to become the Director of Collections and Exhibitions at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, Texas, beginning late October. At the Amon Carter Museum Abbott will be responsible for leading four departments, including curation, conservation, exhibition design and preparations services and registration.
The High Museum began acquiring photography shortly after opening its Memorial Arts Center building 1968, but it wasn't until a decade later that late director Gudmund Vigtel, began to significantly develop the collection in response to community interest. In an interview in 2014, Abbott described the High's photography program as the "largest and fastest-growing division at the museum" and "the most robust in the Southeast." The High's photography collection is most known for its American 20th- and 21st-century and Southern works, including holdings of Harry Callahan, Clarence John Laughlin, William Christenberry, Ralph Gibson, Richard Misrach, Walker Evans, Peter Sekaer, Abelardo Morell and Wynn Bullock. Abbott's honors include the 2012 Ansel Adams Fellowship from the Center for Creative Photography for his research on Wynn Bullock, the 2010 Lucie Award for Curator of the Year for the landmark exhibition Engaged Observers: Documentary Photography Since the Sixties at the Getty Museum and the 2007 Lucie Award for Curator of the Year for his work on Edward Weston, also at the Getty Museum.
Abbott, who came to the High Museum in 2011 after serving as the associate curator of the department of photographs at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, succeeded in acquiring more than 2,000 prints during his tenure at the High. In the spring of 2014 Abbott worked with philanthropist and photographer Lucinda W. Bunnen to establish the museum's first dedicated space for photography and received a number of major gifts, including a $2 million endowment from the Donald and Marilyn Keough Family to endow a permanent curator of photography position. Additional support was received from Paul Hagedorn and from the Yellowlees family.
During his time at the High, Abbott also organized a number of notable exhibitions, including a retrospective of Wynn Bullock's work, which showcased classic works alongside lesser-known color abstractions. ArtsATL critic Anderson Scott stated in his review of the show, "The High is to be commended for tackling his work in all its complexity." And in October the High will be the first museum in the United States to present new works from German photographer Thomas Struth. The touring exhibition, which opens on October 16, will feature more than 30 works by the renowned artist.
Abbott received his Master of Arts in art history from Williams College in 2002 and his Bachelor of Arts in the same field from Stanford University in 2000. Prior to his work with the Getty Museum, Abbott served as a curatorial intern in the department of photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (2001), where he conducted research for the bibliography and introductory essay of Sarah Greenough's Alfred Stieglitz: The Key Set: The Alfred Stieglitz Collection of Photographs. Abbott has also held roles at the Williams College Museum of Art (2000–2001) and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art (1999).

Glossina Wiedemann, 1830 é um género de moscas da família Glossinidae (anteriormente integrado na família Muscidae) que inclui as espécies conhecidas pelo nome comum de moscas tsé-tsé, nome com origem nas línguas manto da África equatorial. Estas espécies transmitem Trypanosoma brucei, o tripanossoma causador da doença do sono. Como muitos insetos, essas moscas não põem ovos, mas sim as larvas, diretamente no solo, onde se enterram. Poucas horas depois elas se tornam pupas (forma intermediária entre a larva e o inseto adulto) com duros casulos castanhos. Após seis semanas estão adultas, prontas para carregar os tripanossomas.

Descrição
Existem três grupos desta mosca, todas hematófilas.

É encontrada desde o lago Chade e do Senegal, ao oeste, até o lago Vitória, ao leste. Esta região é banhada pelo Rio Congo e seus afluentes, sendo conhecida como Coração Verde do Continente Africano. A umidade do local favorece o aparecimento de insetos das mais diversas espécies.

Os problemas causados pelo fato deste inseto ser o transmissor da doença do sono têm levado as autoridades da área de saúde a cogitar em programas de extermínio.

Suas características principais são:
 Tamanho: Até 1 cm de comprimento
 Cor: âmbar com abdômen (na parte de trás) listrado
 Boca: Em forma de tubo delgado
 Cabeça: Apresenta um sulco na frente da cabeça
 Asas: transparentes
 Inseto sugador

Neymar 'longing for football' with lack of action making him 'anxious'
Neymar is self-isolating in Brazil but admits not knowing when he will play football again is making him in anxious
NEYMAR SHOWS OFF HIS SLICK DANCE MOVES AS PSG STAR PARTIES AT HOME
Sam Meade
PSG star Neymar admits the uncertainty surrounding the return of football is making him anxious.
The 28-year-old has not played since March due to the coronavirus pandemic and is isolating in Brazil alongside his long-term personal trainer Ricardo Rosa.
PSG are still eyeing a potential quadruple which includes European success that has so far eluded them.
But that has all ground to a halt and the world's most expensive player concedes he is desperate to return.
"Not knowing when we will play again is causing anxiety. I miss playing, competing, the atmosphere of the club and my PSG team mates. It's a real longing for football!" he said on his website.
Neymar is keen to get back playing (

"I'm sure that the fans want to see everyone back on the pitch, the earlier the better. I hope the decision is made as quickly as possible."
Neymar, who has bagged 18 goals in 22 games this term, is having to take care of his own fitness away from the French capital.
But Rosa is attempting to keep things fresh and admits he is working with a man whose fitness is exemplary.
"You need to understand the environment that this player lives in," he said. "I try to relieve this by controlling the training load and nutrition. Everything is done so his performance improves and evolves all the time."

"I try to do vary the methods, volume and intensity of work, dividing them between general exercises and specific training with the ball.
"In all those years of working with him, what I would highlight, in the physical part, is that he's a privileged athlete, always at or above the average for football players," he said.
"Besides being an agile and quick athlete, he has a lot of stamina. It's very difficult to find an athlete with these three skills together, but in Neymar's case he's outside the curve because he has all three".

Soci-t- G-n-rale will pay more than $860 million in fines for bribing Libyan officials and manipulating a benchmark lending rate.
Between 2004 and 2009, the French bank paid $90 million in bribes to a Libyan broker, who then paid Libyan officials, the US Justice Department announced Monday. The scheme allowed Soci-t- G-n-rale to score 13 investments from Libyan banks and earn $523 million profit.
In addition to a $585 million fine for the foreign bribery case, Soci-t- G-n-rale will pay $275 million for manipulating the London InterBank Offered Rate between May 2010 and October 2011. Many loans are pegged to the rate, known as Libor.
The bank deceptively suggested it was able to borrow money at better interest rates than it realistically could, making it appear financially stronger and more creditworthy, according to the Justice Department.
The manipulation scheme, ordered by senior executives at Soci-t- G-n-rale, altered interest rate swaps, futures contracts and other financial products across the globe. Separately, employees also worked to manipulate Japanese yen-based Libor submissions, according to the Justice Department.

This is the first coordinated resolution between US and French authorities in a foreign bribery case. The United States is waiving half of the $585 million owed by Paris-based Soci-t- G-n-rale. The bank instead will pay the other half to the French government.
"The resolution announced today ... sends a powerful message to financial institutions that engage in corruption and manipulation in the financial markets that they will be held accountable," said Richard Donoghue, the US attorney in Brooklyn, New York, who made the joint announcement with other law enforcement officials.
Soci-t- G-n-rale, one of the largest banks in Europe, agreed to the fine.
"We regret these past misconducts, which are contrary to our values and ethical standards that led to these settlements," said Fr-d-ric Oud-a, Soci-t- G-n-rale's CEO, in a statement. "Over the past years, we have already taken extensive steps, at our own initiative, to strengthen our global compliance and control framework to meet the highest standards of compliance and ethics."
It is expected to enter a deferred prosecution agreement Tuesday afternoon, while a subsidiary will plead guilty in the foreign bribery case.

As a founder or early stage startup salesperson, you'll find yourself building lots of lists. Lists of things to do, lists of influencers in your space, lists of competitors in your market, etc. However, nothing will help you grow your revenues quite as fast as building a solid lists of prospects to reach out to first. While there are a ton of tools available in the market today, this post walks you through a few tactics you can use right away without breaking the bank.
Get a Student Membership - With most industry associations, there is almost always a free or heavily discounted student membership; take advantage of this. If you're not a student, go find someone who is and ask them to register for you. Take your friend that's a student for a coffee, ask them to register for you right there on the spot, setup a password share using Meldium or Lastpass, and get access.
Reach out to Chapter Executives - Check out the industry organization website, find out who leads the local chapter and reach out to them asking for advice. Introduce yourself and what you're working on, and reference why they are uniquely qualified to help you. Stroke their ego a bit, ask them for their insights on the future of the industry, and feedback on how to get more involved with the organization. Once you get that meeting, don't be a leech; avoid asking for anything in return (i.e. free membership, executive introductions, etc), and really focus on trying find a way to help them or create value for them (i.e. volunteering at a their next event, connecting them to a potential sponsor they may want, etc). This will help you earn the right to add them to LinkedIn, and once you do, you'll gain access to a good chunk of the local members to build your list.
Add your customers to LinkedIn, look at their profiles and go and add yourself to all of the same LinkedIn groups they're a part of. Once you get access to the group, go check out the LinkedIn Group Organizer's profile. There is a pretty good chance that this individual is heavily connected in the industry, and is also part of all of the other groups that you'll want to join as well. Go join those as well. Keep repeating this exercise until you've exhausted every possible group that already exists. Once you're in the groups, you can start purusing through the profiles of the group members to start building your lists. While I'll be writing an entire separate post on best practices for using LinkedIn for lead generation, one quick tip -- build your list by starting in your local geography. It'll help you build a more intimate network that you can use to meet in person as well.
Since Twitter is basically a place to have "public conversations", I find it to be a great resource to build an initial list of prospects. I mean these people have practically self identified themselves as individuals who care to engage in public conversation. Start off by spending some time searching through hashtags for industry conferences, specific events or topics in your space. From there, you'll be presented with a solid set of prospects that you'll likely want to reach out to. The next step is how to turn this into a list that you can actually do something about. There are lots of tools available to help you turn the results into a list that you can drop into Excel, but one I like to use is DataMiner. It's a free web scraping tool that requires virtually no dev background and takes just seconds to learn. In terms of reaching out to the prospects, again, I'll have another post written entirely about how to use Twitter for Social Selling, but a quick tip - you want to build a virtual relationship before you start asking for favours. Start off by retweeting something they mentioned recently, consider favouriting of one of their tweets, or commenting on a post with something relevant. Over a bit of time, you'll be able to move the conversation over to a Direct Message to try and set up some time for a 1-on-1 meeting.
Repeatable sales is all about discipline and having process. Now that you've got a few methods to built out a list of prospects, set a quota for yourself today (i.e. a list of 100 prospects) and now go and crush it (i.e. get 200 prospects instead)! Once you've completed the first step of the lead generation process, you'll be ready for step two: lead enrichment and contact information. Stay tuned for my next post on a bunch of ways to do just that!


The TRANSCEND Method uses dialogues with all parties to identify their goals, testing their legitimacy, and for visions of a new social reality meeting legitimate goals. Diagnoses focus on conflict and trauma, prognoses without or with intervention, therapy on visions of solution and conciliation; proposed, propagated and realized.
The method is neither necessary nor sufficient. Other approaches may work, other factors may matter; but statements and prizes indicate impact. Thoughts, words, acts may blunt conflicts-incompatibilities-contradictions; opening for alternatives to violence-war as reaction to goals blocked by conflict. Conflict transformation, gliding through history toward a solution; at the micro, meso, macro, mega levels.
The 35 cases reported are mainly from the 100 in the 2008 book 50 Years: 100 Conflict and Peace Perspectives; after that about 100 new perspectives-visions have been produced. The reader can check the book to see what has not (yet?) worked, keeping in mind that what looks like a success may turn into failure–and vice versa. Much work has been done in many places–such as Middle East, former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, East Asia, ISIS, Ukraine, on criminalizing war–but no impact has been registered like in the cases below. It takes time!
Peace Research-Studies from 1951 as a new, applied, trans-disciplinary science, linking theory and practice being practice-indicative, and testable. Designated as "father of peace studies".
Peace Education by peace studies from 1958 now being taught at 500+ universities around the world and countless seminars-conferences; with many books and articles being used as texts all over.
Peace Service as alternative to military service, in Norway as assistants at the peace research institute, after civil disobedience refusal to do meaningless service, and half a year in prison 1954/55.
Peace Corps (proposed 1960 in Norway, before USA) for direct relations also in crisis areas, bridging fault-lines, but became mainly a one way development corps, so far, with potentials.
Peace Journalism, 1961, reporting peace efforts, and possibilities like conflict solution and conciliation, not only violence and negative news. Has caught on particularly well in Southeast Asia.
A 19-states Council of Europe study on Co-Operation in Europe proposing a UN Security Commission for Europe (1967) like the Economic Commission; working with E Chossudovsky-USSR and Jean Siotis-Greece.
Propagating the vision particularly in Finland, according to a later president in Finland instrumental in making Kekkonen launch the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (later CSSE).
Propagating the vision in Czechoslovakia, according to the deputy foreign minister making the USSR withdraw their troops as successor to the bloc system; "you were the father of the idea, I the executor".
Working at top levels in Rumania, discrediting the bloc system with mutual nuclear targeting in Europe; visions of post Cold War Europe.
Establishing a Norway-Poland axis of low ranking bloc countries, with a joint disarmament commission and depolarizing contacts (1964).
North-South inside the USA: Race Relations, Desegregation; working 1958-60 for nonviolent desegregation in Charlottesville VA, opening for white extremists to have their own private schools.
North-South inside the UK: Northern Ireland as colony, proposing 17 concrete measures from 1997 and at a Houses of Parliament conference before Easter Sunday (where they refer to North-South as "East-West").
South-South Cooperation, parity with North: proposed successfully 1962 for the social sciences in the Americas, later used as general model to be emulated in any field between Latin and Anglo America.
South-South-South Cooperation Latin America-Africa-Asia: proposed 2012 at high level in China road or rail through Africa Dar-Kinshasa for container traffic linking the three continents; credit same fall.
Rhodesia Becoming Zimbabwe, showing (from 1965) that economic sanctions against the white regime would never bring independence, working for nonviolent transition with a role for the white minority.
Korea: Unification as unifying the nation, two states can come later as basic theme from 1972, opening the border ever more, road, train, cooperation based on equity — one state meaning one president less.
Iran: Predicting 1974 a Muslim revolution against a Zoroaster-Western Shah regime, working wit Farah Diba and her wing for a basic needs orientation compatible with Islam.
Ecuador-Peru: proposing 1995 a two-states condominium zone for the region contested in the Andes after the 1941 war, not drawing borders, according to Ecuador's ex-president a new idea, implemented in 1998.
Kurds and the Four States: propagating from 1991 not moving borders but creating a Kurdistan of adjoining autonomous regions, human rights in all four and joint Kurdish institutions; two nationalities.
Caucasus: proposing 1997 a joint territory where the three countries meet for a parliament also with a chamber for the 26 nations in the region, joint airline, maybe moving from confederation to federation.
Myanmar: at the 2005-6 tension proposing for a military dictatorship and an opposition living in the past a think tank to explore a shared future, with federation for Myanmar, to ease the tension and move.
Rwanda-Burundi: propagating 1997 a bi-oceanic confederation of Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and the two Congos with open borders to relieve pressure and trade with Arabia-India and Latin America.
Mexico: propagating 50 points to reduce violence, solve conflict and build peace, dividing Mexico in ten foci (federal-state-municipal being three) with five points for each as alternative to fight; 2014.
Adjudication vs conflict solution: The conflict between Rule of Law with violence and nonviolent conflict solution can be solved by judicial mediation propagated successfully in Mexico from 2004.
Military approaches vs peace: The military used for negative peace, security, defensive defense–at the borders, militia and nonmilitary defense–and as peacekeeping; but not for positive peace; from 1971.
Couples, family: helping design numerous cooperation projects for mutual and equal benefit linking the good, positive sides the parties. From victory-orientation "I am right-you not" to solution-orientation.
Kindergarten: training teachers in not scolding shouting-fighting kids but having them formulate the problem, coming up with solutions, practicing them, training them in helping each other; from 2010.
School: reducing bullying, "what you did is unacceptable but why did you do it?" to identify acceptable goals and solutions, also with the help of other children (who in turn may help parents); from 2004.
University: like for schools teaching peace studies by dialogical approach to conflicts, more horizontal seminars and study groups (colloquium), and less vertical lecturing — at least always dialogue.
At Work: Moving work relations from vertical CEO/Board-focused companies to People/Nature-focused cooperatives; less exploitation, conditioning, segmentation, fragmentation and marginalization.
The Crusades Against Islam declared by Pope Urbain II 27-11-1095: insisting from 1990 that Pope John Paul II should distance himself in 1995; according to a Monsignor this was a factor in urging dialogue.
Germany vs Herero, the genocide massacre in Namibia in 1904: working in 2006 for Germany to acknowledge what happened with apology, possibly compensation, beyond "forgiveness as Christians".
Turkey-Armenians-Kurds in 1915: Turkey used Kurds driving out Armenians as an enemy high on economic-cultural power, war more than genocide?, international commission, compensation, open border; 2006.
Denmark vs Islam over Jyllandsposten caricature 2006: proposing and getting Danish invitation to dialogue in return for canceling burning flags and embassies, arguing right of expression and right of dignity.
Immigrants vs host countries: immigrants have to learn and respect laws and basic norms of the host country, which has to respect their culture, inviting dialogues for mutual learning; from 2006.

A ProtectaClear 12 oz. net weight aerosol can is an easy way to protect metal with tough protection. SAVE 10% on a Case of 12 cans. Use for Jewelry, Automobile Trim, or other small metals with intricate parts (Covers about 60 square feet). The ProtectaClear Aerosol has a very fine spray tip will seal and protect metal from tarnish, corrosion & oxidation and keep the metal looking freshly polished. More Information about ProtectaClear.
We do not recommend using Aerosol cans for large areas. With aerosol cans on large areas, it is easy to get thin spots that are not completely protected. When coating larger areas, we suggest using the liquid ProtectaClear. It is easier to completely coat the surface of large areas with a paint sprayer (like a fine finish HVLP), a high-density roller, a natural bristle paintbrush or by wiping the coating on with a pad. Click to check out our ProtectaClear Kits with Polishes and Cleaners. ProtectaClear is self leveling, any brush marks will level out if left alone.
For Exterior Metal, Painted Metal or other metal that needs extra protection from U.V. exposure like exterior copper or brass, try an Everbrite Aerosol Can.
Aerosol cans MUST be shipped by GROUND. If you don't want to wait for ground shipping, you can purchase the liquid Everbrite and a Preval sprayer instead. The Preval sprayer turns Everbrite into a spray. We have them both on our site and they can ship to you together.

Mat Irvine: Most of this 'update' is actually brand-new. In fact, the only thing from the 1960s is the soap-box downhill racer, the whole reason for the kit. The original model was one of a series that AMT issued, when they took an existing kit, added something else, then employed specific box art and decals.
Why choose an El Camino?
Chevrolet sponsored the Soap Box Derby, so it was a natural to include one of its vehicles as the main part of the kit. And of course, a lone 1:25 scale soap-box racer would be a tad small, and rattle around in the kit box!
The 1968 El Camino is based on the then-current Chevelle sedan. The complete tooling for the original (which was actually a 1969 El Camino) has been lost. So you don't get the original pickup, though the soap-box racer didn't go astray, so has been re-used.
Diorama bonus
The original kit had no card diorama, but this time there is one, and it's been made especially for this kit. Such card bases are now common with AMT and MPC, and this one matches the scene shown on the box. The diorama artwork was painted by long-time box artist, Don Greer.
Build notes
This new AMT Chevrolet El Camino is far more detailed than the original. That used the standard one-piece chassis approach as used by most Annual kits at the time, though it did have a separate rear axle and exhaust. The new kit has a fully-detailed underside, with separate front and rear suspension.
However, it's a snakes and ladders situation elsewhere, as the new kit includes just one engine and two wheel options. The 1969 kit offered two engines and a choice of four wheel sets. On assembly, the new instructions indicate that you can fit the body over the chassis with the completed engine in place. Actually, you can't – the fan and drive belts have to go on afterwards.
But the little soap-box racer is a neat model in its own right, and dates from a time when many kits included a bonus of some kind. Other AMT bonus subjects included a go-kart and a Triumph motorbike.
Race-winner Twig Lew
The first kit celebrated the 1968 World Champion, a fresh-faced 11 year-old, called Branch 'Twig' Lew. The Fort Wayne, Indiana, boy was pictured on the box, and received $7,500 in scholarships, worth nearly $55,000 today. Being a kit-box star must have given young Twig Lew hero status at school. I wonder what became of him?
SMN note: We haven't been able to track down Twig Lew, but in 2018 he ought to be 61 years old. So maybe he's organizing soap-box races for this generation of kids. Let's hope so!
Parts layout (below) reveals a comprehensive set of neatly moulded components.
Lots of paperwork in the new kit (below) which includes instructions, decals, and the newly-included diorama.
Original box-art (below) dates from 1969. The new box is similar, even if Twig Lew's portrait has vanished.
End-panels of the old (below, upper) and new box show that now you get a diorama instead of a free poster. We'll take the useful diorama.
Paperwork and soap-box racer tooling (below right) from the old kit. Only the racer is the same in both issues.
Comparing the body of the original 1969 El Camino (below left) with the 1968 version, to show the difference in kit design and assembly. The old has the pickup bed as part of the bodywork, with front fenders as part of the chassis. The new model has this situation reversed.
A big and small duo, the two vehicles (below) are shown here completely assembled and painted, and mounted on the excellent diorama.
The assembled soap-box (below) in a suitable pose, ready for the start of a race. It lacks a driver sitting in the cockpit, more's the pity.
A closeup look at the racer (below) shows that it is a neat little model in its own right.

Parts: 103 + 9 for soap box
Assembled length: 205 mm (8.12 in)

La Liga Socialista (Liga Socialista) (LS) fue una pequeño partido político italiano socialdemócrata.

Sus miembros principales eran Claudio Martelli y Bobo Craxi. En 1998 se unió a Socialistas Italianos y antiguos militantes del PSI para crear Socialistas Demócratas Italianos, del cual Martelli fue elegido diputado líder en 1999.

En 2001, la Liga Socialista se unió al Partido Socialista para formar el Nuevo PSI, aliado con el centro-derecha. Craxi fue elegido presidente del nuevo partido, mientras Martelli fue nombrado portavoz.

Martelli abandono la política en 2004, mientras que Craxi encabezó una escisión del Nuevo PSI en 2006 y puso en marcha Los Socialistas Italianos, que más tarde se unió al moderno Partido Socialista Italiano en 2007.

← Why Do You Take Pain Killers?
Keep the good fight going Belle!
It's great to hear from you and to know you have been working hard to improve things! It inspires all of us to keep working at it as you do.
I hope things calm down for you and your life regains some balance and confidence that you are striving toward.
Big soft lavender Spoonie hugs.
Joy, I hope you find a therapist who will be helpful soon. Good for you for trying! May I ask what meds you are taking for pain? I am getting worse and worse- going to see a new neurologist next week. The last one didn't help much.
I hope so too. I really miss my old therapist. I know that she will be hard to replace, but I'm trying to stay open minded. For pain, I use the fentanyl pain patch for the round-the-clock pain and I take Percocet for the breakthrough pain. I hope that you like your new neurologist and that everything goes well. I know how hard it is to find a doctor that you can work with as a team. Good luck!
They are. I talked to my GP's nurse today and she said that the doctor agreed to increase the dose on the Strattera. So hopefully things will be better very soon!
Have you ever had and ANA test?
Probably. I couldn't tell you for sure because I haven't yet requested my lab results from my rheumatologist's office. I do know that the first two times that I went to him, he did bloodworm that tested positive for inflammation, but not for any specific autoimmune disease. He does think that I have an autoimmune issue, just not one that can be tested for yet.
No, not fun at all! This last time they tested they said that if the inflammation levels were still high they were going to start me on a round of low dose chemo. Luckily, when the results came back the inflammation had gone down. God really answered my prayers on that one! I go back to my rheumy next week, so we'll see what he has to say then, but so far none of the usual markers (for common autoimmune diseases like lupus, etc.) have come back positive.
Oh wow. I'm glad they haven't come back positive. My doc has not got me in a "wait and see" I'm a little frustrated…actually can I email you? If so what's your email again?
Do you have to have had rheumatic fever in order to have rheumatoid arthritis? Did you have it, Joy?
I don't know. I don't have rheumatoid arthritis nor have I ever had rheumatic fever. I did have scarlet fever when I was a little girl. I don't know if that affected me in anyway or not.
When it rains, it pours, as they say. Hang in there.
Keep the Faith and I am praying for you.
Oh, OK. So what prompted you to see a rheumatologist? Maybe the scarlet fever did have that effect on you, but my brother had it and he's OK. Hmmm.
I was referred to the rheumatologist because of the fibromyalgia.
I; have SO many questions! 🙂 Just trying to figure out what's wrong with me.How did you find out you had fibromyalgia? I'm so sorry you're going through all this.
When I started writing this blog a year ago, I met many other people who suffer from chronic pain. Some of their stories seemed so similar to my own that it was hard to believe that they had a different illness than I did. That's when the thought came to me that maybe I had 2 illnesses. So I researched fibromyalgia (since that's what the majority of them had) and the symptoms were too close to ignore. I asked my GP what he thought about it and he did the tender point test and said that he believed that I did have it, but he never officially diagnosed me with it. Since it is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, I got a referral to the rheumatologist. I told him all of my symptoms (even the things that sounded like they didn't quite fit in with anything) and he also did the tender point test. He said that based on my symptoms and the results of the tender point test that he thought that I definitely had fibromyalgia and diagnosed me with it (officially). Since then, he has been the doctor in charge of my fibro care and also for the other immune disorder (which we haven't identified yet). My blood levels kept coming back with high levels of inflammation which indicate an autoimmune disorder, but the tests for specific diagnostic markers have come back negative. The good news is that the inflammation is being controlled for the time being with medication. I hope that I've been able to answer some of your questions. You can always email me if you have more questions, or feel free to continue the conversation here.
Thank you so much, Joy! that's why I started my blog- to see if I could connect with and learn from others. I'm seeing a new neurologist next week,- the other one did nothing for me! Hope he has some answers.

Eagle () is a 1990 Croatian film directed by Zoran Tadić. It is based on Umjetni orao, a novel by Pavao Pavličić.

Plot summary
Radovan Orlak, known to his friends as Orao (Eagle), fell to his death off a high-rise building on his birthday. Upon hearing the news, four of his long-time friends - Milan, Dražen, Krešo and Vlado - realize how little they actually knew about him and begin to investigate in the hopes of uncovering what really happened. They assume their friend has committed suicide, and begin to exact revenge on people whom they deem responsible. After a while, they find out that Orao was seen with an unidentified man on the night of his death, and begin to suspect he was actually murdered...

Release and reception
Shortly after the film was completed, Marjan Film went bankrupt, which was followed by the outbreak of Yugoslav Wars. As a result, the film was never distributed theatrically.

While Croatian Film Association's database assessed Eagle as Tadić's weakest film to date, Croatian film critic Nenad Polimac listed it in his 2007 selection of "lost classics" of Croatian cinema.
