Dear valued clients and supporters: This month's newsletter will focus on: (1) the NLRB's restatement of the joint-employer standard, expanding the right to unionize; (2) the New York City ban on employers using or requesting credit information of employees and job applicants; and (3) Businesses' need to keep trade secrets safe, methods for protecting them, and actions to take when they are misappropriated.
NLRB Expands Right to Unionize
Under the National Labor Relations Act, employees have the right to collectively bargain (unionize) only against their employer. The joint-employer doctrine recognizes that in circumstances where two separate entities each have the right to exercise a certain degree of control over a set of employees' working conditions, that both entities should be considered employers. In a recent decision, Browning-Ferris Indus., the NLRB "restated" its standard for evaluating the existence of a joint-employer relationship in a way that expanded its scope. The decision particularly impacts the franchise industry. (FULL ARTICLE)
NYC Ban on Employer use of Credit Information
As of September 3, 2015, NYC employers will be prohibited from using or requesting the consumer credit history of an applicant or employee pursuant to Local Law 37. Under the new law, it will be considered an unlawful discriminatory practice to ask applicants or employees about their credit information, such as their credit score, missed payments, and collections. Any use of such credit information with regard to hiring, compensation, or the terms, conditions, or privileges of employment will also be considered an unlawful discriminatory practice. Employees and applicants who suffer credit discrimination will be protected by New York City Human Rights Law, which allows them to file a claim against the employer and seek compensatory and punitive damages, as well as discretionary costs and attorney's fees. Employers should be aware of this development and work with their counsel to ensure their employment practices are not in violation of this new law. (FULL ARTICLE)
Trade Secrets are the key to many business's success, especially in the absence of a patent or other forms of intellectual property protections in place. Proprietary information that entities exclusively know and use is what allows them to compete in their industries. When trade secrets become publicly known or known to a competitor, an entire business may be at stake. That is why any business that operates in reliance upon trade secrets must take specific precautions to limit the number of people who access such information and to place restrictions on those with whom it is shared. Requiring employees to agree not to disclose trade secrets and to follow certain protocols when accessing or using trade secrets is vital to a business's security. When a business shares its secrets with potential investors or partners, the interaction should be subject to a non-disclosure agreement. Security measures are the front line defense against the leaking of trade secrets, and imposing affirmative obligations not to disclose or use trade secrets gives businesses specific remedies against those who misappropriate their proprietary information.

Workers Right to Unionize Gets Boost From National Labor Relations Board
Yogi Patel - Tuesday, September 08, 2015
The National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") recently issued a major decision making headlines everywhere that both advocates and opponents say greatly expands workers' right to unionize. The decision, Browning-Ferris Indus., restated the standard for determining whether a joint-employer relationship exists where more than one entity exercises some degree of control over workers. In a joint-employer relationship, employees have more than one employer and can exercise their rights against both employers. Because workers only have the right to collectively bargain (unionize) with their employer, by expanding the definition of a joint-employer relationship, the NLRB expanded the rights of employees to unionize. Given the recent decision and other pending actions before the Board, there is much speculation as to the scope of the impact the Browning-Ferris restated rule will have.
What Exactly is a Joint-Employer Relationship?
In a joint-employer relationship, two or more entities that have a business relationship each exercise a certain degree of control over a set of employees such that they should each be considered their employer. A common example of a joint-employment relationship is where a temporary placement agency provides employers to an employer; under such circumstances, both the agency and the business where the employees are placed would be considered employers. Determining whether or not a joint-employer relationship exists does not rely one a single concrete definition, but rather requires analyzing several factors relating to the control and supervision of employees. Overall, the general idea is that while two business entities that are involved with one another may be separate, when they share or codetermine matters governing the essential terms and conditions of employment, they should both be considered employers. What the NLRB did in Browning-Ferris was alter the factors used in the joint-employer analysis such that they expanded the relationship's definition.
So What Exactly Happened in Browning-Ferris?
Browning-Ferris Industries was the operator of a recycling plant. BFI maintained their own employees who were responsible for operating forklifts and other machinery within the plant, but they hired a separate company, Leadpoint, to provide workers to operate conveyor belts within the plant that sorted recycled materials. The Leadpoint workers also performed other tasks, such as cleaning the facility. Eventually, the union that represented the BFI workers tried to represent the Leadpoint workers as well. Since employers may only unionize against their employer, this raised the issue as to whether or not BFI should be considered the Leadpoint employees' employer as well, thus creating a joint-employer relationship.
In its decision, the Board explained that the rapid growth of the employment placement services industry required that it revisit its previous standard for assessing whether or not a joint-employer relationship exists. The Board emphasized that it has the obligation to apply the law to the "complexities of industrial life," and to adapt the law "to the changing patterns of industrial life," and that given the record numbers of workers employed through temporary agencies and other placement services, the Board was compelled to restate the joint-employer standard to address its shortcomings.
Under the previous rule, a company like BFI who was not the primary employer would only be considered a joint employer if it exercised "direct and immediate" control over certain working conditions if the employees. Under the "new" rule, which advocates claim already existed prior to the 1980s, the Board will determine that two or more entities are joint employers if they:
are both employers within the meaning of the common law, and if they share or codetermine those matters governing the essential terms and conditions of employment. In evaluating the allocation and exercise of control in the workplace, we will consider the various ways in which joint employers may "share" control over terms and conditions of employment or "codetermine" them, as the Board and the courts have done in the past.
The Board retained an "inclusive" approach to defining the essential terms and conditions of employment, which contain, hiring, firing, discipline, supervision, direction, setting wages and hours, dictating the number of workers, controlling scheduling, seniority, and overtime, assigning work, and determining the manner and method of work performance. However, the Board expressly held that it would no longer require an entity to actually directly exercise control over workers to be considered a joint employer, but rather that the essential determination would be based upon whether the entity had the right to exercise such control, directly or indirectly. To put it more plainly, an entity that has the right to indirectly control the essential terms and conditions of employment of certain workers should be considered their joint employer.
In the Browning-Ferris case, Leadpoint had its own supervisors at the plant, managed its employees schedules, evaluated its employees' work, had its own HR, made all hiring decisions, made discipline and determination decisions, and set pay rates. However, Leadpoint's control was limited and/or influenced by BFI in that BFI set the job qualifications and criteria, required drug and skills tests, insisted on some discharges, set an indirect cap on pay by limiting the amount it would reimburse Leadpoint, and set the hours or operation of the plant and shift times. The Board found that because of the control BFI held over the Leadpoint employees, whether direct or indirect, authorized or not, BFI was a joint-employer under the restated rule.
Why This is Such a Big Deal
One of the biggest areas of business that pundits are speculating the Browning-Ferris decision will have the greatest impact is over the franchise-franchisee relationship. Prior to Browning-Ferris, a franchisor, such as McDonald's, would not be considered the employer of each franchise's employees because McDonald's the corporation did not exercise direct and immediate control over the working conditions of the employees. Under the new rule, most analysts assert that McDonald's would be considered the joint-employer of all of its franchises' employees, thus granting the employees the right to collectively bargain with McDonald's itself. Previously, franchise employees had no such right, and if they tried to form a union, it was perfectly legal for the parent corporation, such as McDonald's, to have the franchise such down.
Generally, analysts see the Board's ruling as an opening for employees across many industries to attempt to unionize where it was previously forbidden, which would expand the rights of workers everywhere to collectively bargain. Naturally, advocates see this ruling as a welcome expansion of workers' rights and opponents argue that the ruling will be disastrous for business and destroy the franchise model altogether.
Perhaps the most poignant argument the Board put forth in defending its decision attacked the disparity that arises when an entity can retain a certain degree of control over workers without workers having any rights against the entity: "It is not the goal of joint-employer law to guarantee the freedom of employers to insulate themselves from their legal responsibility to workers, while maintaining control of the workplace." Given the rise of employment placement agencies by businesses, the Board was concerned that far too many employees would be left powerless against entities that profited from their labor and exercised control over them, which, it argues, the National Labor Relations Act was put in place to prevent. While time will tell what the true impact of the decision will have, especially given that it will almost certainly be approved, the Board did sent a clear message to employers that it would no longer tolerate business who seek to reap the benefits of labor it controls without any corresponding obligations.

Irish Provincial Silver
When it comes to Irish silver, the Company of Goldsmiths of Dublin exercised full control over the manufacture of ecclesiastic and domestic plate in Ireland since its foundation under Charles I in 1637.
Roland Arkell
That, at least, was the theory. In fact, relatively little Irish 'provincial' silver made the journey to the metropolis to receive official approval – for reasons of security and economy.
It is a 320-mile round trip from Cork to Dublin, and, for those carrying precious metals by coach or on horseback in the 18th century, a dangerous one. It could be expensive in other ways too as every ounce of silver assayed by the crown incurred a duty of six pence.
Instead, as early as 1710 silversmiths in the prosperous ports of Cork and Limerick were exercising their own quality control and stamping their wares with the words Sterling (or occasionally Dollar for those wares made from Spanish coinage) rather than the crowned harp of Dublin. Those in Galway, Kilkenny, Kinsale, Youghal and Waterford stamped their wares with maker's initials only.
Ultimately it was the Act of Union in 1800 that made it cheaper to import silver from Sheffield and Birmingham, rather than regulation, that led to the decline of Irish provincial silver by the 1820s.
A Collecting Hierarchy
The appeal of Irish provincial silver lies primarily in the rarity. The melting pot has claimed large quantities over the years.
Silver made in Cork, a city with the cultural, financial and social means to support a number of silversmiths, is far scarcer than that made in Dublin, while surviving pieces from Limerick and beyond can today be counted in the tens rather than the hundreds or thousands.
But an equal part of the allure of Irish provincial silver is its idiosyncratic vernacular style.
Collectors left cold by the sometimes anodyne productions made in Georgian Dublin can have their heads turned by the contours of a Cork sauce boat or the beguiling simplicity of a sugar bowl from Kinsale.
Regional Irish silversmiths fully understood the dominant European design style of the day, but – sometimes a few years behind the curve – they chose to interpret them in their own way. Provincial wares are seldom slavish copies of metropolitan taste.
Buyers Irish provincial silver come from across the global Irish diaspora. The current market relies heavily upon the input of international collectors and many important pieces sold in Ireland go abroad.
It is worth mentioning that the huge premium now placed upon items with provincial Irish marks has been the stimulus for fakery. Typically unmarked objects will reappear on the market with strikes for silversmiths from Limerick, Galway or beyond, although a more complex issue is the 'de-chasing' of 18th century silver – the removal of later rococo-style decoration applied to meet the fashion of the Victorian period.
Erasing later engraving can be straightforward restoration but in the hands of a creative silversmith, it is possible to go further. Ultimately, it is about intent and transparency.

To truly listen to another is a form of grace. Listening deeply means we allow the other to come into our mind and heart, to entertain them in the home of our Self. We accommodate room for them to express themselves without leaving them alone in their thoughts and feelings. This attitude of grace is very hard to maintain when the conversation becomes heated. Asdistressing emotions are building, it is natural to want to defend and protect ourselves. When our loved one is emotionally fragile, they may use hurtful words to express the pain they are experiencing, or even intentionally cause hurt. If the words become abusive or damaging, we have to shut the door on the conversation for the time being. Hopefully, using the mindset of being nonjudgmental, providing acceptance and giving validation helps set the tone of a productive conversation (the HOW described in Part I).
Talking carefully through the facts, perceptions and feelings to reveal deeper needs can help slow down the interaction to avoid blaming and other triggers that may lead to attacking or defensive behaviors in one another (the WHAT described in Part II). Even so, listening when someone you love is telling you about their perception which you may not agree with, about their emotion which you may wish they didn't have, and about their needs that may have been neglected or unknown is very difficult. As the listener in particular, it's important to not "take in" blame or accusation (even if it may be present) so that you can understand what is being shared.
Within the WHAT structure of the conversation, as the speaker is sharing their perceptions, feelings and needs, your main job is to listen carefully. Focus on not interrupting unless it is to ask about for more detail what the speaker is saying and to understand them more deeply. Knowing that you have both already agreed on the facts and that you will each take turns can help with the tendency to "jump in" and respond. As the listener, focus on suspending your point of view so that you can listen for what is being said as well as the meaning that is being expressed.
Allow yourself to listen non-judgmentally, with acceptance and validation, knowing that hearing well does not diminish your own point of view on the situation. In other words, just because you let them into your (inner) world to express themselves doesn't mean they are taking over your world. Once they are done going through the steps, reflect back a summary of what is being said ("so you are saying…") and let them know you understand. Validate what is being said ("it makes sense that you would feel angry, given the perception you had…") as often as possible.
CALL TO ACTION: think about the people in your life with whom you have the greatest ease in listening openly to them. Is there anything about them, their style of communicating, the relationship with them that makes it easier? Think back to times when you had a really hard time listening to another person. What made it difficult? Are there any "hot button" issues, comments or attitudes that make you more likely to be defensive and shut down your listening?
While there is no "quick fix" for emotionally intense conversations, using these HOW and WHAT methods often help keep things calm enough so that everyone can be heard. This gives the best chance for peace and resolution, rather than continued chaos.

Rapid antigen detection test for SARS-CoV-2 proves more effective than expected, large study reports
Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.Dec 8 2021
In what is believed to be the largest prospective study of its kind to date -; involving some 6,000 patients seen at the Baltimore Convention Center Field Hospital (BCCFH) during a 10-day period around the beginning of 2021 -; researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine, the University of Maryland Medical Center, the University of Maryland School of Medicine and four other collaborators report that a rapid antigen detection test for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, proved more effective than expected when compared with virus detection rates using the established standard test, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay.
The study was first posted online Dec. 1, 2021, in the American Society for Microbiology journal Microbiology Spectrum.
We found that virus was accurately detected by the rapid antigen test in 87% of patients with COVID-19 symptoms and in 71% of those who were asymptomatic -; rates that surprised us because they were so high. This is a significant finding because the rapid test offers a number of advantages over the PCR test, including time savings, both in sampling and processing; cost savings; and most importantly, ease of distribution and application -; basically anywhere -; which can help overcome COVID testing disparities in medically underserved communities."
Zishan Siddiqui, M.D, Study Lead Author and Assistant Professor of Medicine, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University
The first step for both the PCR and rapid antigen tests is obtaining a sample from a patient, either a nasal swab or a bit of saliva. The difference lies in how the sample is processed and analyzed. A PCR test takes a tiny bit of SARS-CoV-2 genetic material from a sample and reproduces it thousands of times so it can be more easily detected. A rapid antigen test uses laboratory-produced antibodies to seek out and latch onto proteins on the surface of SARS-CoV-2 particles in the sample.
The PCR test requires a skilled laboratory technician, special equipment and up to an hour or more to process. Additionally, testing on a massive scale can only be conducted at a large, centralized testing facility, such as a hospital laboratory.
On the other hand, rapid antigen testing uses a premade kit with a reagent that contains antibodies specific for SARS-CoV-2. The test can be conducted by anyone after brief training, can be administered anywhere and provides results in approximately 15 minutes.
The question that the new study hoped to answer was which test could be most broadly, most quickly and most effectively applied to a large community such as Baltimore.
To do this, the researchers administered both the rapid antigen and PCR detection methods to just over 6,000 people who came to the Baltimore field hospital for COVID testing between Dec. 23, 2020, and Jan. 11, 2021. Participants were screened for possible exposure to the coronavirus and COVID-19 symptoms. Staff members performing the tests were trained exactly the same and monitored during test administration to ensure quality control and reliable results.
"What we determined was that while the PCR test may be a better test from a clinical perspective -; as it's basically 100% accurate at detecting SARS-CoV-2 -; the rapid antigen test appears to be better from a public health standpoint because of its ease of use, and the fact that it proved to have sufficient accuracy, specificity and reliability for detecting the coronavirus in a high-volume setting," says study senior author James Ficke, M.D., professor of orthopaedic surgery at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and co-director of the BCCFH for 16 months. "The field hospital was the perfect place to determine this because we could see how well both tests worked for a large number of people in a short amount of time."
Operated since April 2020 as a collaboration between Johns Hopkins Medicine, the University of Maryland Medical System and the Maryland Department of Health, the BCCFH provided COVID-19 testing, monoclonal antibody infusion therapy and vaccinations to Baltimore-area residents, including those in medically underserved communities.
The ability of the BCCFH to test people who would traditionally have had limited access to such procedures was critical for our study because it also enabled us to see if rapid antigen or PCR testing was the best means of tackling that disparity. That's important, because the more we can get tests out to all members of the community, the stronger our effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19."
James Ficke, M.D, Study Senior Author and Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University

The study findings have been put to good use from the beginning, says Siddiqui.
"The accuracy of the rapid antigen test was mostly unknown when we started the study in December 2020," says Siddiqui. "We shared our findings with the Maryland Department of Health and in scientific meetings a month later, and before the results of any similar studies were available. I believe this influenced the state's strategy on how best to use the rapid antigen tests available to them."
What made this study so valuable, adds Ficke, were the "perfect location and team" conducting it -; a field hospital that became one of the largest COVID testing sites in the nation and a solid partnership among Johns Hopkins, the University of Maryland, the state of Maryland and the clinicians from the Greater Baltimore area who served there.
"Our successful program has shown that a health care system can provide an equitable response to COVID-19 because the rapid antigen test makes it possible to test all socioeconomic levels of a large population quickly and repeatedly -; and this has become the model that the state of Maryland is actively putting into practice and other organizations are starting to follow," he says.
Siddiqui, Ficke and their colleagues are comparing rapid antigen and PCR testing in pediatric patients, with data collected on about 1,000 children so far. They hope to publish their findings early in 2022.
In another study, the researchers plan to assess the accuracy of rapid antigen tests being marketed for home use.
Along with Siddiqui and Ficke, the members of the study team from Johns Hopkins Medicine are Matthew Robinson, Yukari Manabe and Melinda Kantsiper. Study co-authors are: Charles Callahan (who served as co-director of the BCCFH) and J. Kristie Johnson from the University of Maryland Medical Center; James Campbell from the University of Maryland School of Medicine; Anna McCall, Ria Peralta and Rogette Esteve from the BCCFH; Maryam Elhabashy from the University of Maryland Baltimore County; Mihir Chaudhary from the University of California–East Bay; and the CONQUER COVID Consortium.
The rapid antigen test used in this study is the BinaxNOW COVID-19 Antigen Test manufactured by Abbott Laboratories.

Tilt, Bankrolls, and Moons
As a poker-crazed degenerate who has been known to watch replays of World Series of Poker episodes I've already seen 100 times on ESPN2 over a live football or basketball game on another channel, I am actually pretty intrigued by ESPN's new show, Tilt, which premieres tomorrow night.
However, my gut feeling is that the show is going to be disappointing. ESPN also produced Playmakers, which while a semi-watchable show, sensationalized nearly every conceivable aspect of the NFL. Guys were failing drug tests, smoking crack at halftime, beating their wives, concealing the fact that they were gay, hitting on the owner's daughter, and getting into fights with coaches -- and that was all within the first 15 minutes of the first episode.
I had no problem with the show because it was strangely entertaining for short bursts, but if ESPN tries to do something similar in their portrayal of the poker world, I have a feeling it'll be a huge mess. On the other hand, who knows? I like Michael Madsen and the guys behind the show are the same ones who made Rounders, which is one of my favorite movies. Plus, any show with Frank Sobotka in it can't be all bad. I just hope ESPN can resist the urge to sensationalize every single bit of their topic for once.
Speaking of poker ... my online bankroll peaked about two weeks ago, at which point I was just short of thinking I was ready to compete in the WSOP. Well, poker has a funny way of showing you just how unready you are. Over the last two weeks, I have been on such an incredible losing streak that I am at the point of dreading logging onto to Party Poker to play again. About 15% of my bankroll has been wiped away, after it took me about six months to build it up.
The worst thing about the losing streak isn't the money I've lost -- my bankroll is still pretty good and it was all winnings anyway -- but the fact that I have now realized I am not a good enough poker player to make major changes in my game when I go through a tough stretch like this. I mean, I have a general idea of why I've been losing lately, but I am not at the level where I can step back, point to a couple things I need to change immediately, make the adjustments, and then go back to the tables and start winning again.
Imagine a great pitcher who had an incredible first half and then had 4-5 awful starts in a row to begin the second half. Now imagine he can't really explain why he's been struggling. I bet he'd tell you that's what scares him more than actually losing a few games.
You know you're a little too into your fantasy teams when you cancel all plans and consider the day a success by 10 in the morning because you completed a trade for Tim Duncan. Seriously, I had all sorts of optimistic plans for last Friday afternoon, but the Duncan trade offer was in my mailbox when I woke up, I looked over the numbers of the players involved while I still had sleep in my eye, pulled the trigger on the deal, and then wiped out the rest of the day's schedule immediately. The day da Vinci completed the Mona Lisa, I bet he didn't go out grocery shopping.
I suppose I'll close today's entry with a few words about Randy Moss and his now famous "mooning" incident. First of all, what he did does not offend me at all, mostly because he didn't actually do anything -- his uniform stayed on, no skin was exposed, and it lasted all of two seconds. I didn't find it offensive, obscene, disgusting or any of the other strong words being tossed around. I suspect most of the people who do have a major problem with Moss' actions on Sunday are probably the same people who responded to my anti-FCC entry a while back with all sorts of great things to say about government censorship.
And before you all e-mail me using the "what about the kids?" argument -- which is the #1 thing people bring up in a situation like this -- let me say that I have three young cousins who I am very close to and love very much. They are all great kids, they all do extremely well in school, they all have active social lives, and they all appear headed for extremely enjoyable and successful existences. And not one of them is scarred by the fact that a football player pretended to moon people. He didn't kill, he didn't injure, he didn't rape, he didn't get drunk and go driving -- he pretended to show his butt. And I use "pretended" in the loosest of terms, because clearly Moss doesn't have much of a future as a mime.
There are plenty of things to pick on Moss about without making what he did Sunday a headline story across the country. Also, I am sick of the media trying to create a story, rather than trying to cover a story. As ESPN.com Page 3's Paul Katcher pointed out on his blog yesterday, the amount of hypocrisy involved in the coverage of Moss' actions by ESPN and FOX is startling.
ESPN initially wouldn't show the clip, and Chris Berman and company had incredibly harsh things to say about Moss. Remember, this is the same network that produced the aforemorementioned Playmakers, which showed semi-clothed people having sex, smoking crack, and fighting each other (and worse, probably, but I didn't see most of the episodes). FOX wouldn't show the clip and their pre-game, halftime, in-game, and post-game coverage was devoted to telling the world what a horrible person Moss was. Remember, this is the same network that produced reality shows about women competing to marry millionaires they've never met, daughters trying to guess who their real fathers are, and much, much more.
Just to be clear, I don't object in any way to any of the things ESPN and FOX have shown in the past. I object to the fact that they act like they are above showing such things when it makes a story more sensational. I was watching the Vikings/Packers game live on FOX. When I saw Moss' touchdown celebration, the first thing I thought of was not that it was offensive or that he was a terrible person. No, the first thing I thought of was that I was now going to have to be subjected to intense media coverage of the non-incident for the next week.
Joe Buck, who was announcing the game for FOX, immediately called the celebration "classless" and "disgusting." I disagree, but even more than that I think it's worth noting that Buck is the guy who appeared in a series of beer commercials with a fictional character named "Leon" who portrayed the stereotypical view of athletes like Moss. Then later, during a World Series broadcast Buck was announcing, Leon was planted in the audience and interviewed for an extended period of time, during the game. I'll take Moss pretending to do something that isn't even all that horrible for two seconds over having FOX cram product placement down my throat any day of the week.
What Moss did on Sunday is catch two touchdowns and help the Vikings win a playoff game. The idea that one of his touchdown celebrations has led to any sort of public uproar is far more disturbing than anything he did or pretended to do. Beyond that, the idea that whatever public uproar he caused is anywhere close to the level suggested by the media is at best ridiculous and at worst outright false. For all the outraged members of the media screaming bloody murder, the results of ESPN.com's own poll on Moss that generated tens of thousands of responses shows a completely different story.
- 58.3% described what Moss did as "funny."
- 87.2% said they were more interested in the outcome of the game than anything Moss did.
- 53.8% said Moss should not have been fined by the NFL.
- 73.8% said they wished the media would "quit talking about" the incident.
- 67.4% said Moss is "good for the NFL."
Similar to the "national outrage" portrayed by the media in the case of the FCC crackdowns on "indecency" that have been taking place since last year's Super Bowl, the actual people outraged are in the minority, yet they are given a disproportionately loud voice. It's a shame, because there are an awful lot of people in this country -- men, women, and children -- who can see something like what Moss did on Sunday and simply go on with their lives.

Just Received a call from this number. A very robotic male voice started saying that it is Her Majesty's hrmc calling in regards to tax fraud. I hung up. Sounded like a scam. If it's really HMRC and was important, they'd call again, or send the brown envelope letter to my house. I'm 100% this is a scam. Don't answer!
Recorded message saying I was being investigated for tax fraud.
Same as others. Recorded statement from "HMRC" claiming i was being investigated for fraud and would be arrested if i did not press 1 immediately.
Obvious fake so ignored it although i did wonder what would happen if i actually pressed 1.
Recorded harassment call that gave me a big belly laugh and brightened my day - "there is a 'warrant' out for you, press 1 to speak to HMRC otherwise you will be arrested shortly". Erm, that's not how taxes work. Hahahahaha "shortly"
As for the others, claimed to be from HMRC and said I would be arrested shortly if I didn't press 1. Obvious scam despite the well-spoken English middle class accent recorded in the message played.
Stated HMRC tax fraud case and issuing warrant for arrest if I did not press 1 to continue the call.

Whitaker and Gaudiano Win on Day One of New Liverpool International CSI4*
by Erin Gilmore
John Whitaker and Echo of Light. Ph. Liverpool International
A pall was cast over the first day of competition at the new Liverpool International Horse Show CSI4* in the United Kingdom when Cameron Hanley's horse Antello Z had to be put down following an injury (full story here.)
Amid the tragic news, competition carried on with four, CSI4* rated classes making for a very busy day. Emanuele Gaudiano and Cocoshynsky won the 1.45 metre two-phase class that Antello Z was injured in., Gaudiano completed a jump-off time of 29.25 seconds, which proved just enough to edge out 60-year-old multiple British Olympian John Whitaker and claim a £6,000 first prize.
Yorkshireman Whitaker, who has his sights on a possible sixth Olympic Games appearance in Rio later this year, clocked 29.42 seconds for the runners-up sport aboard Lord of Arabia, with Britain's Nicole Pavitt taking third place on Victor Blue.
Gaudiano has enjoyed an outstanding few weeks on the European circuit, highlighted by him staving off a powerful British challenge to win the Longines FEI World Cup qualifier at London Olympia just 12 days ago.
"I have done a number of shows with the horse, and it is great to win here at Liverpool on the opening day," Gaudiano said. "It is a super new show. It is the first show of the year, and it is an unbelievable event – one that will get bigger and bigger."
Whitaker then delivered a first British four-star victory of the show by producing a brilliant performance on Echo of Light in the Equiline/Fearns Farm Partnership 1.40m accumulator. The accumulator, where riders score points for fences jumped – has a maximum 65 points available, including the invaluable joker fence, and Whitaker showed his rivals a clean pair of heels.
Drawn late in the 27-starter field, the 60-year-old Yorkshireman showcased all his experience to claim a maximum score in a blistering time of 43.82 seconds.
Belgium's Wilm Vermeir was second – almost two seconds behind – on Hacienda d'Eversem, while William Whitaker finished third aboard his established campaigner Fandango.
Assessing his performance, John Whitaker said: "I was second-last to go, so I knew what I had to do.
"He has been a tricky horse to produce, but he has got loads of scope and he is careful.
"If you go really fast in a class like that, you are going to knock the planks down. It's a fine line between going quickly enough and keeping your control to jump the last plank. Once I jumped one or two, he felt quite relaxed and I knew I was away, so I went for it."
Johnny Pals of The Netherlands won the day's 1.50m class, and Irish riders and horses claimed podium positions in the Puissance, with Peter Smyth and Cavalier Rusticana taking first place.

A number of PR agencies have rebranded in the past year, some to better represent their offerings and identities, and others to streamline and unify their businesses.
On Monday, Peppercomm added another "m" to its name to show it offers services beyond traditional PR, such as marketing and digital. A week earlier, Euro RSCG Worldwide PR rebranded as Havas PR to reflect greater collaboration among Havas agencies and a simpler structure. Other agencies such as Horn and Citizen Paine have also changed their brand names in the past year.
Similarly, Horn Group rebranded as Horn in May to show its evolution from a pure PR agency to a digital communications firm. Horn handles digital for 75% of its clients.
Agency founder and CEO Sabrina Horn notes that the term "PR" isn't a negative, but it should be reflected as part of a range of marketing disciplines.
Horn says the refresh was part of a strategy to make the brand more "modern" and a little "edgier" since its last rebrand a decade ago.
Since debuting the new name, website, and logo, Horn says she has received "nothing but compliments" from clients. She adds that the firm sent them a letter and gave them a sneak peak at the website before making it public.
Havas PR, formerly Euro RSCG Worldwide PR, was renamed as part of a global rebranding effort at holding company Havas.
"This was a great chance for us to be more streamlined and unified in our branding and it's definitely strengthened our brand on the global level in terms of PR," says Dalton Dorné, CMO of Havas PR.
She explains that Euro used to be known as a "federation of great local agencies," when in fact they are connected and have common values. She says the rebrand has highlighted that.
Havas, unlike some other rebrands, decided to keep "PR" in the name.
Top three agency Fleishman-Hillard is planning a "brand refresh" early next year, says Stephanie Marchesi, CMO at the agency.
The Omnicom Group firm will not change its name, but it will debut a logo and website that will "result in a clearer position for the firm," she explains.
"We will reveal our complete set of capabilities that we have been investing in and have been developing over the past several years," Marchesi adds.
Other major agencies have altered their branding in the past year. Hill & Knowlton changed its name to Hill+Knowlton Strategies at the beginning of last December, less than a year after it merged with sister WPP firm Public Strategies. Weber Shandwick revealed a new logo, tagline, and business model in May to show off its transformation in the past decade.
When Citizen Relations rebranded last October from PainePR, it combined its offices, formalized existing partnerships, and added a unified brand name to connect its businesses with fellow "Citizen" firms Citizen Optimum in Canada and Citizen Brando in the UK. CEO Daryl McCullough says his agency's changes are more noteworthy than just altering a firm's name to reflect new services.
"There is the superficial rebranding, and there are those of us that are doing significant reorganization and globalization," he explains.
John Ball, partner and creative director at brand agency Miresball, says firms must rebrand for the right reasons. Otherwise, the move could seem hollow or unnecessary.
"A lot of firms are embracing new capabilities and social media, and they may feel they need a name change to reflect that. But if everybody else is doing it, too, I'm not sure you have to change your name just to add on capabilities, because that whole role is changing for everybody," he explained.
McCullough adds that one major challenge of a rebrand is the fear of losing equity in the brand name.
"That's hard for anyone to leave behind. However, as with any brand, it's the effort that you put behind it to make it famous and stand out in the marketplace," he says.
Josh Feldmeth, CEO of brand consultancy Interbrand, notes that changing an agency name is complicated because of founder legacy issues, which is why it's important to be clear with messaging internally and externally.
Therefore, firms have to send the right signals to staffers, clients, and stakeholders about why the rebranding is credible and relevant.

Incubating Innovation in India
India is the third largest startup ecosystem in the world, behind only the United States and China, according to a recent report by Nasscom and Zinnov. Startups are supported by incubators, typically in the early stages of product and customer development. Incubators add value by providing coaching and mentorship, workspaces and makerspaces, and by interfacing with other stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem critical to startup success. In India, incubation began in the 1980s through government efforts and has since been expanded by both the public and private sector. Today, the total number of incubators is well over 200. This statistic indicates a booming startup economy, in terms of startups getting formed, funded, and the valuations achieved. On the other hand, as a society, urban India faces some of its biggest challenges to date: water scarcity, air pollution, rising volumes of food and plastic waste, traffic congestion in urban zones, among others. Taken together, these two occurrences call for incubators to evolve their role in supporting startups that are creating solutions to these grand challenges of our times.
As part of its Urban Works Innovation Challenge project, Columbia Global Centers | Mumbai hosted a panel presentation entitled 'Incubating Technology Solutions: Perspectives on India's Innovation Ecosystem' that was followed by a discussion moderated by the Center's Director, Dr. Ravina Aggarwal, on June 25, 2019. The panel featured two distinguished speakers, Pratap Raju and Sunita Singh. Pratap Raju is the Founder of Climate Studio, where he is building local ecosystems for climate entrepreneurship. He is also the National Lead for India for Climate Launchpad, the world's largest green business idea competition started by Climate-KIC, the EU's main climate initiative. Sunita Singh is the Executive Vice President, Global Initiatives at Wadhwani Foundation and the Co-founder of the National Entrepreneurship Network (NEN).
India's entrepreneurial ecosystem is two-fold: high growth startups mostly driven by technology, and small businesses mostly operating in non-metro cities and towns. Ms. Singh illustrated how small business entrepreneurship is necessity-driven and not great at solving systemic issues at scale, and argued that it is important for these small and medium enterprises to show growth readiness and shed the fear of failure. Mr. Raju pointed to persistence as a crucial attribute for potential startup success. While technical talent can be nurtured, being resilient against all odds separates a sustainable startup from a startup that could fail at any time.
Both speakers emphasized the importance of metric. Ms. Singh proposed that if a startup's marketplace is the social development sector, then they need to navigate a multi-stakeholder space comprising of atypical players such as non-profit organizations, farmer collectives, self-help groups, and various branches of the government. Elaborating on this further, she remarked that it is the job of foundations to bring about market readiness and create enabling environments when dealing with social issues that have no clear-cut market opportunities for startups. She spoke of the importance of hard data and reminded the audience that even the social sector, known for its focus on inputs rather than outputs and outcomes, is gradually evolving its ways. Mr. Raju described how measuring the impact of incubators and accelerators is difficult since metrics such as funds raised could be momentary successes resulting in eventual failure.
Ms. Singh also highlighted the role of universities in inculcating an entrepreneurial culture. She argued that it is necessary for college campuses to celebrate all entrepreneurs and not just the unicorns, and nurture diversity.
The inputs provided by the speakers sparked a lively discussion from the audience that comprised investors, social entrepreneurs, techies, students, and members of government organizations.

Social environment may play a greater role in the disparity between the numbers of African Americans living with hypertension compared to non-Hispanic whites with the disease. A study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that the disparity was substantially reduced when comparing groups of African Americans and non-Hispanic whites living in similar social environments. The results are published in the November 2008 print edition of Social Science and Medicine.
Commonly referred to as the "silent killer," hypertension is the most common cardiovascular disease, affecting 65 million adults in the U.S. Hypertension is a serious condition that can damage the heart and blood vessels and eventually lead to stroke, heart failure, heart attack, kidney failure and vision problems. Previous studies have found that African Americans tend to have an earlier onset and higher prevalence of the disease than non-Hispanic whites.
Thorpe, along with colleagues from the Bloomberg School's Center for Health Disparities Solutions and North Carolina Central University, compared data from the Exploring Health Disparities in the Integrated Communities (EHDIC) study and the National Health and Nutrition Examinations Survey (NHANES) to determine if racial disparities in hypertension persisted in communities where there is a minimal difference in social environments. The EHDIC study examines racial disparities among African Americans and non-Hispanic whites with the same median socioeconomic status who reside in the same community. NHANES, a cross-sectional survey, reviews the health, function and nutritional status of people in U.S.
"Social context as an explanation for race disparities in hypertension: Findings from the Exploring Health Disparities in Integrated Communities (EHDIC) Study" was written by Roland James Thorpe, Dwayne T. Brandon and Thomas A. LaVeist.
The researchers were funded by grants from the National Center on Minority Health; Health Disparities of the National Institutes of Health (NIH); and Pfizer, Inc.

University of Cambridge > Talks.cam > Departmental Seminars in History and Philosophy of Science > The shifting economies of measurement uncertainty
The shifting economies of measurement uncertainty
Eran Tal (Department of History and Philosophy of Science)
Thursday 26 February 2015, 15:30-17:00
Seminar Room 2, Department of History and Philosophy of Science.
If you have a question about this talk, please contact Richard Staley.
In 2018 the General Conference on Weights and Measures plans to redefine four of the base units of the International System (SI) – the kilogram, ampere, kelvin and mole – by fixing the numerical values of four fundamental constants. This change is meant to release the uncertainties of metric measurements from their dependence on the idiosyncrasies of particular material artefacts. And yet the planned redefinition raises an epistemological difficulty: in the absence of absolute and concrete standards, what does it mean for a measurement outcome to be more or less accurate? This puzzle is solved, I argue, by acknowledging that measurement uncertainty is a special case of predictive uncertainty, that is, the uncertainty involved in predicting the behaviour of a measurement process with a theoretical and/or statistical model of that process. The uncertainty assigned to a measuring system in the new SI accordingly reflects scientists' ability to use fundamental physical equations to predict the behaviour of that system. Viewed in this light, the planned redefinition of SI units implicitly promotes a new economy of uncertainty in the physical sciences, i.e. a new set of principles for the management of scientific uncertainty that treats measurement as the approximation of ideal theoretical relations. I explore some of the counterintuitive epistemological consequences of this shift.

TSF is a "wetland built to help polish all used water before releasing it into the environment"By Martin C. BensonThe Bea Mountain Mining Corporation (BMMC), a subsidiary of the Avesoro Resources, has taken a significant step to install the necessary environmental safeguards to avoid emitting harmful chemicals into nearby rivers and streams used by communities living downstream of the mining operations.This corrective action follows the spillage of the Tailing Tank at the New Liberty Gold Mines (NLGM) resulting in the pollution of nearby streams in the local communities of Jikando, Korma Wiaja and Malina, in Gola Konneh District, Grand Cape Mount County.Briefing journalists on the methods taken by the company to avoid cyanide and other chemicals used in extracting minerals from rocks from polluting the environment, the technical manager of NLGM, Roland Degreef, said a beach called Tailing Storage Facility (TSF) was developed.Degreef admitted that although the design work and construction of the TSF are cost intensive, they are the best strategies for preventing environmental pollution.He said the TSF is a "wetland built to help polish all used water before releasing it into the environment."He explained that after extracting the gold from the rock using water and chemicals including cyanide, the slurry, prior to being discharged into the TSF, must undergo two detoxification processes – that is, from the stockpile to the crusher, then onward to the gold pregnant solution, where all of the solid materials are separated.The cyanide content which is applied to help in the extraction of gold, when released into the environment, can be harmful to flora and fauna, he said.Conscious of the negative effects of cyanide on the environment, Degreef said the detoxification methods adopted by the company in keeping with international mining standards is done by using the Carbon In Leach (CIL) tanks and the slurry, which are the remnants from the rock that was crushed and is channeled to the TSF. This is achieved by applying what is known as In-leaching, that is, taking gold from the carbon, and leaching, which is taking carbon from the gold.Degreef emphasized that these processes are to ensure that no poisonous gas is emitted into the air and all chemicals used in the processing of the gold after the crushing of rocks are detoxified.Bea Mountain said it embarked on this complex method after the unfortunate problem created last year following the spillage of waste from the mining operations in Kinjor into Mervoe River thus affecting the three aforementioned surrounding villages.The TSF beach is technically spread over the Mervoe River with channels of fresh water passages embedded beneath the TSF. Fresh water from upstream, in the pain-stock drain, passes beneath the TSF, and the TSF is protected by a drywall made of slurry and a second defense wall made of laterite, which helps to keep the drywall stable, he said."The water from the TSF is channeled through a series of slabs and is then sent back to the TSF. It is the fresh water passing beneath the TSF by way of the pains-stock drain that is discharged into the environment," he explained.To ensure that this new facility operates in line with international mining standards, Degreef said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) takes a regular sample for testing and works in close collaboration with resident environmental experts at the mines and those hired as the need arises.At the TSF head office, there is an agriculture demonstration site, where plants are grown to determine whether products ending up at the TSF beach are environmentally unfriendly or have an adverse effect on flora and fauna in the vicinity, he said.Degreef said Bea Mountain in collaboration with Avesoro has undertaken the TSF project to make mining at New Liberty Mine a world class venture and void of any trace of environmental pollution.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more

Comic Becky Fury on what ISIS/ISIL's beheader Jihadi John was really like
Becky was talking just off Brick Lane last night
After yesterday's blog with Chris Dangerfield was posted, Becky Fury – winner of at least one genuine Malcolm Hardee Comedy Award – asked if she could give a response.
So I met her last night in London's East End, just off Brick Lane.
"What made you want to respond to the blog?" I asked her.
"I basically," she told me, "wanted to do some self promotion…"
"Oh God," I said.
"…and I had some ideas about politics," Becky continued.
"Good grief," I said. "You didn't want to have a go at Chris Dangerfield for perceived Islamophobia?"
"Well, that's no use at all," I told her. "You just wanted a chat."
"Yes," she laughed. "I just wanted to be validated. Do you want me to talk about Islamic Fundamentalism?"
"It'd be something," I told her.
"My friend actually taught Jihadi John," Becky said. "He was basically a kid in remedial maths at school."
"And he went to my college," I told her. "The University of Westminster… Well, it was The Polytechnic in my day."
"When he was at school," said Becky, "he was a kid that nobody liked. He had B.O. and bad breath. He was basically a disenfranchised kid and this idea of running off to become an Islamic Fundamentalist was obviously quite attractive. Then he got turned into this character in tabloid newspaper mythology. But he was basically just a kid from remedial maths who didn't get on with anyone."
"This character in tabloid newspaper mythology"
"Well," I said, "beheading people certainly works as a bid for attention."
"He was basically pissed-off," said Becky. "Maybe if they had had better pastoral care in his local London borough he wouldn't have done that. And then there were all those girls running off to find this hunky Jihadi John in Syria and, when they get there, they just find that it's Muhammad, the smelly kid from remedial maths and they think: Well, we might as well have just stayed in Tower Hamlets and met him and our mums wouldn't have been quite so pissed-off.
"Obviously, you don't want to encourage any type of religious fundamentalism. You can pick on one as being worse but, if you do pick on one as being worse, you make it worse and it turns it into something that becomes more dangerous because you have given people something to join in with. After they started trying to ban the burkha, lots more Moslem women started wearing burkhas because they were told they should not be allowed to do it. That's what happens when you try to put a lid on things."

Short and to the point. But I was just getting into it. I'll read it again now.
Even better second time around.


As you probably know, Kolomna district has many buildings that could once be described as old yet are unnoticeable from a tourist point of view. I show these spots to my foreign friends when we walk together and I tell them the story. Now I'm doing the same for you.
This soft pink octahedral watchtower is one of the things you see walking down Sadovaya street. There are no real watchmen on top of it now, only a mannequin stands there, still showing he cares for the safety and watching the tranquility of the district like in the good old times. Can you believe that centuries ago a man could notice fires faster than a signal coming from the firemen house? Nowadays the fire brigade is called the boring way: by phone.
The building stands here, dating from the middle of the 19th century. Back then it was one of the dominant structures of the city (hard to believe now!). One could understand how many fire alarms there were in St. Petersburg in each moment by the black balls (lamps during the night) hanging on the 46-meter-tall tower. Now nearly nobody watches the tower, only me and the people I bring there.


Globally, 61% of all workers were engaged in informal employment in 2016. Excluding the agricultural sector, 51% of all workers fell into this employment category.
Men earn 12.5% more than women in 40 out of 45 countries with data.
The global gender pay gap stands at 23 per cent globally and without decisive action, it will take another 68 years to achieve equal pay. Women's labour force participation rate is 63 per cent while that of men is 94 per cent.
Despite their increasing presence in public life, women continue to do 2.6 times the unpaid care and domestic work that men do.
470 million jobs are needed globally for new entrants to the labor market between 2016 and 2030.
More effort is needed globally to increase economic productivity and create more and better jobs. The space industry is worth around US$ 385 billion as of 2017 and some expect this figure to surpass US$ 1 trillion by 2040. Accessing the sector can promote economic growth and innovation and create jobs.

Bristol Rovers sack manager Dave Penney
Penney's predecessor Paul Trollope lasted five and a half years in the role
Bristol Rovers have sacked manager Dave Penney after less than two months in charge of the League One strugglers.
The former Darlington, Doncaster and Oldham boss replaced Paul Trollope in January but has failed to turn around Rovers' poor run of form.
The 46-year-old's spell in charge has seen Rovers lose nine out of 13 games.
Pirates captain Stuart Campbell, 33, has been put in charge of the first team until the end of the season, while coach Martin Foyle has also left.
Foyle has been linked to the still vacant Grimsby Town managerial role.
A statement from Rovers' board of directors said: "We are all very disappointed and sad that the appointment of Dave has not brought us the results and change of direction we have been looking for.
"With 12 games left there is still a chance to get ourselves out of this situation and try and secure our League One status."
Rovers are currently kept off the bottom in League One only thanks to Plymouth Argyle's 10-point deduction last week.
I know some of the fans are disillusioned, and rightly so. They pay their money to come and watch us, and the performances have not been good enough
New Bristol Rovers caretaker-player-manager Stuart Campbell
And, although five points from safety, they have a game in hand over 20th-placed Walsall.
Campbell added: "I am delighted to have been given this opportunity, although it does come in difficult circumstances.
"I firmly believe that, as a team, we have enough to get ourselves out of this mess, but we need to start winning games and picking up points as soon as possible.
"To say we are in a precarious position is a massive understatement. We have got to start winning games if we are going to survive.
"But I believe we have what it takes. I respect every player in the dressing room, and I hope that they feel the same way about me.
"We all have to pull together now, and it is vitally important that the fans continue to support us.
"I know some of them are disillusioned at the moment, and rightly so, they pay their money to come and watch us, and the performances have not been good enough.
"But we need everyone of them to get behind us now and believe in us, as we are all in this together."
Campbell, who will continue to play, will be assisted by two injured senior pros, Danny Coles and Byron Anthony, for Tuesday night's trip to Tranmere.

I always love featuring independent filmmakers on this blog. Below is a Q&A with Editor Evita Yuepu Zhou. She has an interesting story and a familiar love of filmmaking.
I was born in a small city in China in 1987 and moved to Shanghai when I was 9 years old. Since the age of 10, I knew I wanted to work in film. My pursuit of film was not an easy one: swimming against the cultural stereotype, which pushes its children to become doctors, lawyers or housewives and battling to become a female editor in the entertainment industry proved challenging. The entertainment industry is a rocky road and, oftentimes, is difficult to break into and maintain a steady career. Despite these difficulties, my career in film editing has been very rewarding. Stepping back and looking at what I've done and what I'm capable of carries with it a sense of adventure that drives me to keep creating. I am passionate about my career and strive to expand my editing skills to span all mediums. Whether it be a narrative film, documentary film, commercials, or reality series, each project opens up new and different worlds that allow me to expand and explore. I immerse myself in these worlds and connect emotionally and artistically with each story. Taking unrelated visual sequences and stitching them together to create a beautiful work of art is something I look forward to every day.
1) How did you get into editing?
Finding my passion and talent for editing was an interesting process of self-discovery. I will never forget the first time I finished editing my first documentary back in 2008. I directed that film as well. The moment when the final film was exported was one of my happiest moments in my life. That moment served as a catalyst for me to further explore the world of editing. Later, my work experience at IMSTEPF Studios made me realize that editing is something I love to do, enjoy doing, and is something I'm good at. Stitching those unorganized unrelated visual sequences together into an amazing piece of art is very rewarding.
Working as a freelancer allows for a lot of flexibility in my schedule. It also means that there are no strict boundaries for work and free time and that the lines between the two are often blurred. Every day, I make sure I get a decent breakfast and then get my hands on the keyboard to start the day. No matter how busy or tight my schedule is, I always make an effort to get some mid-day exercise. It's vital to keep healthy when a job requires you to sit in front of screens all day long. Work continues after dinner mostly. The hours are very long, but I always make sure I allow myself some leisure time on weekends.
3) What would you say your editing style is?
I wouldn't limit myself to just one editing style. The technique and style of your work should reflect the content. Generally, I like to cut on emotion rhythms. Using those cues allows me to form rules and techniques as I go along.
4) Who would you say, editor or filmmaker, inspires your work the most?
My favorite director is Roman Polanski. He is an absolute genius as a director. And my favorite editors are Dede Allen, Tim Squyres, and Hervé de Luze.
5) How does editing different genres (doc, web series, feature, etc.) affect your work?
Editing a wide variety of genres allows me to expand my editing skill set. Different genres definitely affect the creative process in different ways. For documentaries, editors need to be involved early on because editors are partially the writer of the film. Also, the editorial period often takes longer for documentary films. Narrative films are fluid and create different vibes when I work with the footage given to me although the process of dealing with stories, emotions and rhythms stays the same.
6) What genre or project type do you most enjoy editing and why?
As an editor, I prefer not to stick to just one type of genre or story. I always love to try different types of film as long as it has a good story and interesting characters. I like to immerse myself into the characters' arcs and understand the emotional twists of the film. I always get positive feedback in that arena from different filmmakers.
7) How has working both in the U.S. and abroad influenced your editing work?
When I worked in China, I was working for a major broadcast television network in Shanghai for a documentary channel. Teamwork was vital for us at that time, so I learned a lot about working with other editors. Working with people that spoke different languages and came from different backgrounds also helped expand my communication skills.
8) As an editor, what are the challenges you face?
As a filmmaker, you always need to keep moving forward, not only in the professional arena, but also in the networking one. I think the challenging part for me is the insecurity that sometimes comes with being a freelancer and the need to constantly network and put yourself out there not only in-person but on social media as well. Often, that insecurity is going to be with you your whole life as a filmmaker, but the challenge of that can lend itself to new adventures in meeting new people.
9) Do you have any advice for aspiring film editors?
Film business is a rocky road for anyone who is working and wants to work in it. However, it also feels very rewarding when you find your calling and put yourself into it. It requires great amount of time and hard work, but it's also amazingly fun to find out what you've done and what you'll create in the future. It's never the same.
10) If you weren't an editor, what do you think you'd be doing right now?
Although I've worked different jobs before editing, I cannot think of anything I would want to jump into right now except editing. Maybe I would be a writer for a small magazine or work in environmental engineering because that was one of my undergraduate majors, but if I had to choose something other than editing, I would love to be a film composer.


I looked into making things IMDb official when we got back from Tanzania but the site said no. Little did I know I just had to get IMDbpro membership and that would be the key to my success. So now not only is PILI official, but I'm officially a Producer because IMDb says so.
In other news post-production continues apace with Leanne hoping to go to PICTURE LOCK (I've put this in capitals as it sounds like an event that crap reality TV would make into a MAJOR event) in 10 days. The countdown is on. Feedback from a range of watchers has been super helpful, and reassuringly positive. The watchers range from friends, family (including my boyfriend's awesome grandparents), industry types, and academics working on HIV/AIDS. The time it took my boyfriend to make a cup of tea before he sat down and said 'it's really good isn't it?' was excruciating, but he's not one to give feint praise so I'm taking that as the film is potentially award-winning!
I'm also trying to find somewhere to do a closed screening for crew, friends, family and colleagues in August/September but it turns out this is quite a pricey do if you want anywhere in central London. Shout out to Curzon Soho, Picturehouse Central, and RichMix for at least getting back to me and not laughing in my face. If you're a sales agent/frolleague/family/friend and interested in the closed summer screening, do let me know if you want to attend and I'll add you to the list.
The film edging to completion means I've also got to think about the screening in Tanzania, but there is a lot to think through about how to do this without giving my family a week of anxiety. I'll find a way, as the stars of the film and Tanzanian crew need to see the film and I'm not going to let some rascal scare me. When in doubt, what would Deirdre do?
We'd love to come to the screening count us in. Also can't you crowdfund the screening? With tiered pricing for just a seat, meet the team, credits at the end of the film??


October 4, 2015 Anthony Chiang, Florida, Football, gatorbytes, Jim McElwain, Recruiting.
Along with earning a statement win over Ole Miss on Saturday, the Gators also won over one of Palm Beach County's top recruits.
2016 Pahokee athlete McArthur Burnett (check out his highlight tape) verbally committed to Florida on Saturday night right after attending No. 25 Florida's dominating 38-10 win over No. 3 Ole Miss on an unofficial visit. Blue Devils coach Alphonso Smith confirmed the news to the Palm Beach Post.
The three-star recruit is ranked as the seventh-best prospect on the PBgametime 2016 Big Board. Although he plays as a running back and cornerback for Pahokee, the Gators recruited the 6-foot, 180-pound Burnett primarily as a cornerback and an athlete.
As a junior, Burnett ran for 1,178 yards and 15 touchdowns, and intercepted two passes as a cornerback.
Burnett joins Dwyer wide receiver Isaiah Johnson as the only players from Palm Beach County in Florida's 2016 class, which is now made up of 21 commits. The Gators' 2016 class is ranked 14th nationally by 247Sports and Rivals.com.

Die Lodnerhütte () ist ein Schutzhaus in der zu den Ötztaler Alpen gehörenden Texelgruppe in Südtirol. Die Hütte liegt südwestlich des Lodners im Zieltal auf einer Höhe von  Sie befindet sich im Naturpark Texelgruppe.

Geschichte
Die Lodnerhütte wurde 1891 von der Sektion Meran des Deutschen und Österreichischen Alpenvereins (DuOeAV) erbaut. Nachdem die Hütte bereits 1894 vergrößert worden war, erfolgte 1908 die Einweihung eines Neubaus. Die bis 1923 vom DuOeAV betriebene Lodnerhütte wurde 1923 enteignet und 1924 dem Club Alpino Italiano (CAI) übergeben. Auf das Jahr 1998 datieren Renovierungsarbeiten. 2011 beschloss die Südtiroler Landesregierung, die Hütte der Meraner Sektion des CAI um 607.000 Euro abzukaufen. Seit 2015 wird das Land Südtirol bei der Verwaltung der Hütte (Vergabe an Pächter, Überwachung der Führung, Sanierungsmaßnahmen) durch eine paritätische Kommission unterstützt, in der neben der öffentlichen Hand auch der AVS und der CAI vertreten sind.

Anstiegsmöglichkeiten
Die Hütte kann durch das Zieltal von Partschins erreicht werden. Der Anstieg ab Straßenende (kurz vor dem Partschinser Wasserfall) dauert etwas über vier Stunden. Von der Bergstation der Texelbahn ist die Lodnerhütte in circa drei Stunden zu erreichen.

Tourenmöglichkeiten
Die Hütte eignet sich aufgrund ihrer zentralen Lage in der Texelgruppe als Ausgangspunkt für viele Besteigungen, darunter Lodner (), Roteck () und Tschigat ().

Übergänge:
 Zur Stettiner Hütte in einer Gehzeit von 3½ Stunden.
 Nach Katharinaberg in einer Gehzeit von 6½ Stunden.

Tropical LUAU Carnival (TLC) is a Carnival fete ready for modern times; when there is no time to waste unless it is time to wine your waist.
Usually, when food is finished it creates a feeling of deep sadness and despair. At TLC, we will have different types of food available at different times throughout the night. Even if there is a line, when you get to the front you will be served in first class style. No sample plates here, you get a full serving complete with sides and salad.
#TropicalLUAU features our famous Roast Pork! It is smoked for 4-5 hours AT the venue! When fully cooked, the skin is crispy and the meat LITERALLY falls off the bone.
Choose your topping from a variety of local and international dressings and spices.
Most cooler fetes offer two options; pack your cooler and come with it before their cut off time (6:30pm for TLC) or buy from the bar. We have decided that our patrons deserve another option, so we've introduced a cooler concierge service.
At TLC you can pre book your cooler (see below), pay online or your committee member and simply collect at the venue.
Tropical LUAU will be held at the picturesque Green Meadows Estate. Fire officials have approved a capacity of patrons greater than our printed tickets, this means that no ticket holder will ever be debarred entry.
Our venue is located in Santa Cruz which means there are multiple routes to get there, reducing traffic and there will be secure parking on the venue itself.
An integral part of our venue is the air conditioned hall within which our food will be served, with an adjacent deck where patrons will dine.
All of this occurs in an atmosphere where the air is fresh and the lush foliage provides the perfect backdrop to a night in the Tropics. Imagine everyone in their floral wear, ladies decked out in grass skirts and coconut bras enjoying sweet Soca music for 8 hours!
Tropical LUAU has a specially selected cast of entertainers and Djs, set to give you that perfect blend of vibes and attention. This is not a concert, this is an EEEmpire fete and when it comes to party, we are the greatest.
BRAVE is the anthem of Tropical LUAU! As products of the new generation, we will have a special performance from these artistes.
There will be a sober zone, providing complimentary water to all upon exit. We will even provide lifestyle condoms to keep you protected for your after party.
Tropical LUAU doesn't stop there. Introducing Tropical LUAU Add-ons!
Carnival Pick Up is a service which will allow you to have your costume picked up and delivered to your home at your convenience. Download the app on the google play and apple app store!
Ccare Babysitting Agency will be providing certified babysitters to watch over your young ones while you enjoy the fete!
