Can Mrs. Benson find another Jim Finks for the Pels?
By Ed Daniels, Clarion Herald Sports
When it comes to hitting the reset button, the Pelicans may never get a better chance.
A summer trade of Anthony Davis could yield a harvest in young talent and draft choices.
And, as New Orleans sinks in the Western Conference standings, the club could climb in the NBA draft lottery.
So, why does the body language of interim general manager Danny Ferry seem to portray an executive who doesn't appear to be a temp worker?
Ferry, hired as a special advisor by the Pelicans in June 2016, had a solid resumé as the general manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
His stay there included a trip to the NBA finals and trades for Shaquille O'Neal and Antwan Jamison.
In Atlanta, Ferry drafted guard Dennis Schroder in the first round and hired San Antonio Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer, who was, for the Hawks, named NBA coach of the year in 2015.
In late February, Ferry made his first significant personnel move. The Pelicans added Euroleague and Latvian sharpshooter Dairis Bertens. The contract also includes a team option for 2019-20.
If Ferry is retained, that is certainly good news for head coach Alvin Gentry, who has handled the Anthony Davis trade demand with aplomb. Gentry's team, while one of the worst in the Western Conference, has continued to play hard.
When Pelicans owner Gayle Benson parted ways with general manager Dell Demps, she said in a statement issued by the team that the Pelicans would compete "at a high level."
In it, Mrs. Benson said she would like "to assure our fans that I am prepared to provide any, and all, resources to compete for championships."
That is a "leave-no-stone-unturned" statement, which makes the potential hire of Ferry as the permanent general manager puzzling.
As your sales staff prepares to launch its season-ticket campaign for next season, you sell the general manager who worked under Demps? And, perhaps, the head coach who was part of an extremely disappointing season?
There could be a compelling case for the retention of Gentry, who was dealt a bad hand from the start of this season. Rajon Rondo, who starred in last year's playoffs, departed for the Lakers. Forward/center Niko Mirotic played four games in December and seven in January. Point guard Elfrid Payton played one game in November and one game in December.
Last January, when Demarcus Cousins was lost for the season with a torn Achilles, the Pelicans made the playoffs and swept Portland in the first round, playing an entertaining, fast-paced style of basketball.
What's happened since is a free fall. In their current roles, there's likely only so much that Ferry and Gentry could do about it.
The upcoming decision on the future course of the Pelicans is critical. In 1986, Tom Benson got it absolutely right when he hired Jim Finks as Saints general manager and Jim Mora as head coach.
Twenty years later, Mr. Benson struck gold again with the selection of Saints head coach Sean Payton.
Now, Mrs. Benson gets her first big opportunity to prove her hoops acumen.

Objective. The incidence of pancreatic cancer is estimated to be 48,960 in 2015 in the US and projected to become the second and third leading causes of cancer-related deaths by 2030. The mean costs in 2015 may be assumed to be $79,800 per patient and for each resection $164,100. Attempt is made to evaluate the results over the last 80 years, the number of survivors, and the overall survival percentage. Methods. Altogether 1230 papers have been found which deal with resections and reveal survival information. Only 621 of these report 5-year survivors. Reservation about surgery was first expressed in 1964 and five-year survival of nonresected survivors is well documented. Results. The survival percentage depends not only on the number of survivors but also on the subset from which it is calculated. Since the 1980s the papers have mainly reported the number of resections and survival as actuarial percentages, with or without the actual number of survivors being reported. The actuarial percentage is on average 2.75 higher. Detailed information on the original group (TN), number of resections, and actual number of survivors is reported in only 10.6% of the papers. Repetition occurs when the patients from a certain year are reported several times from the same institution or include survivors from many institutions or countries. Each 5-year survivor may be reported several times. Conclusion. Assuming a 10% resection rate and correcting for repetitions and the life table percentage the overall actual survival rate is hardly more than 0.3%.
Resections for pancreatic adenocarcinoma which Whipple et al.  initiated after earlier attempts by Codivilla  and Kausch  have now been carried out for 80 years. Opinions still differ as to the results. Some authors claim a survival percentage of up to 22% and are widely quoted and extol the benefits and success of resections  while others doubt that anyone survives pancreatic cancer .
The incidence of pancreatic cancer has been estimated at 48,960 in 2015 in the US and is the fourth leading cause of death from cancer for both sexes . It is projected to increase to 62,000 in the year 2020 and to 88,000 for both sexes in 2030 and to surpass breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers to become the second and third leading causes of cancer-related deaths by 2030 .
The cost of treatment of pancreatic cancer is of concern in many countries. O'Neill and colleagues studied the total direct medical cost of patients 66 years and older who were diagnosed from 2000 to 2007 in the US. The mean total direct cost was $65,500, for resectable locoregional disease cost was $134,700, and for unresectable locoregional or distant disease cost was $65,300 and $49,000, respectively . Lea and Stahlgren had earlier pointed out the difference in the cost of resections versus bypass .
Assuming 2.5% inflation over 8 years, the mean cost in 2015 would be $79,800, for resections $164,100, for unresectable (or bypasses) disease $79,500, and for distant disease $59,700. With the estimated number of patients in 2015 the overall cost would be close to $4 billion.
There is a growing concern that reports of success in medical research are inflated .
Here an attempt is made to evaluate the results over the last 80 years, the number of survivors, and the overall survival percentage.
This author has continued to scrutinize the literature on surgery from the onset, initially using the Index Medicus and then Ovid/PubMed until the end of 2014, with cross-references. Approximately 1230 papers have been found in 15 languages in approximately 200 journals from 44 countries which deal with resections and reveal at least some survival information. A total of 40.5% of the papers originated in the US, 19.3% from Japan, 7.3% from Germany, 5.3% from Italy, and 4% from France and the UK. These have been inserted into a database.
Papers on the surgical aspects of pancreatic cancer differ as to the approach and the composition of the patient group and the method of reporting. A few emphasize only the technical aspects and the mortality with limited or no survival information and indiscriminately cover patients with various malignant and benign pathologies which may require pancreatoduodenal resection, but without clearly separating each pathology group or presenting separate survival information. Only papers with separate pathologic information on patients were selected for analysis for this paper. Analysis of the database reveals that, of these 1230 papers, 609 do not report any 5-year survivors, some seem to be mainly technical, and some report only up to a 3-year survival rate. A total of 621 papers report 5-year survivors and will be examined further in detail in this paper. Special attention has been paid to the origin of each paper, the time period each study covered, patient composition, the subset of patients used for calculations, and the statistical method used.
The first reservation about the effect of surgery on this disease was expressed by Glenn and Thorbjarnarson  in 1964, again by Gallitano et al.  in 1968 whose only 5-year survivor was "nonresected," and then strongly by Crile Jr. in 1970 , whose only survivor was also nonresected. He challenged the value of resection for pancreatic cancer, followed by Shapiro in 1975 . Crile Jr.'s criticism was directed at the then high mortality rate and the survival calculations which were carried out and might count only those who survived the operation and in ignorance of the nonresected survivors.
The presence of nonresected survivors has been disputed , but it is a major issue in the debate on survival. It was first pointed out by Cattell and Young in 1957  and, as above, later by Gallitano and Crile Jr. The data were summarized by the present author in a paper in 1995  and a letter in 1996 . In a review by the present author published in 1978 only 65 five-year survivors could be found in the literature, of whom 8 were nonresected . In a review published in 1987, 165 survivors could be found, but 12 of these were nonresected . In this review 41 reports have been found from 31 institutions in 12 countries, many from eminent institutions and renowned authors, thereof 17 from the US, two from Yale [19, 20], two from the University Texas MD Anderson [12, 21], and two from Harvard MGH [22, 23], as well as from the University of Chicago , the Dana Farber Cancer Clinic , and Thomas Jefferson , to mention a few.
Nonresected survival is a fact and should be kept in mind in assessing overall therapeutic results. Initially reports detailed the course of all patients diagnosed at a particular institution but in recent decades reports have concentrated only on resected patients, completely ignoring any nonresected survivors. Nonresected survivors would therefore not be found.
The survival percentage depends not only on the number of survivors but on the subset from which the number is calculated.
A few earlier studies started by examining the respective tumor registries and disclosed that only about 35–68% of patients in tumor registries had histologic confirmation. Survival calculations have been based on the original number of patients with histologic diagnoses at a particular institution, previously called the total number (TN), the approximately 80% of cases that were surgically explored, the cases that were resected, or location, size, or R status of the tumor, or even only those patients who survived the operation.
Overall survival success must be based on the original group diagnosed with pancreatic cancer (the TN or total number) and the number of survivors and not only on a small subgroup of the cases. Different methods of calculation have been used to enumerate the results, that is, actual versus the actuarial, projected, or estimated percentage.
Initially most papers revealed the TN, the number of resections, and simply the number of survivors, whereas later authors also presented actual percentage figures. In the late 1980s the papers started reporting only the number of resections and survival as actuarial percentages, usually calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method with or without the actual number of survivors being reported .
Sir Hill pointed out in his book in 1937 that when a "large number of patients is lost sight of" the outcome might be erroneously high. This warning is reemphasized in later editions . In a frequently quoted paper 11 survivors out of 201 are claimed as proof of 22% survival .
As indicated in Table 1 the original number TN of patients studied in a report is only revealed in 90 or 14.5% of the papers and in these the actual number of survivors is stated in only 49. In the remaining 41 with a documented TN and actuarial calculation the actual number of survivors is stated in 17, in addition to life table curves. Detailed information on the original TN group studied, number of resections, and actual number of survivors is therefore reported in only 66 or 10.6% of all papers on pancreatic cancer. In the remaining 89.4% some form of estimate or calculation is required to assess survival percentage. In 531 papers there is no information on the original number of patients from which the number of resections was drawn, although in 102 of these the number of survivors is stated or confirmed by inquiry.
In 424 of these 531 reports with survival calculations by actuarial methods 378 are by the Kaplan-Meier method and 48 by other or unclear methods, though KM is also very likely. The number of survivors is stated in 147 of the reports or 34.6%, but not in the remaining 277 or 65.3%.
A total of 240 inquiries were sent to authors where the actual number of patients was not reported and only 58 replies were obtained. The actual number of survivors with actuarial calculation is therefore known in 205 of the 424 reports or 48.3%. The actuarial and actual percentage figures can therefore be compared, as demonstrated previously [29, 30], and reveal that the actuarial percentage is on average 2.75 higher than the actual percentage. This figure has therefore been used to estimate the number of survivors and the survival percentage in the relevant studies where only the actuarial percentage has been published.
The resection rate has been debatable and varies and can only be assessed accurately if the original group is large and well defined. Tertiary referral centers cannot know the size of the original group from which their resection group is drawn. Of the studies published in the last 5 years, 156 of 161 or 97% report only the number of resections and the percentages. In an earlier study by this author the resection rate was 10.8%. In earlier US studies [31, 32] the rate was, respectively, 8.4% and 12%. In 2 European nationals [33, 34] the rate was from 8% to 12% over the last 5 years. In a recent report from the surgical service at a European university hospital  the resection rate was 11.6%. It is therefore practical to assume that the resection rate is 10% in the studies where the original TN of the group is not reported in order to estimate the TN accordingly and divide the percentage by 2.5–3 where the actuarial KM only has been published.
After totaling the numbers in the 621 studies with survivors with the above correction, but without further adjustment, the TN comes to 1,731,834, the number of resected patients comes to 162,207, and the number of survivors comes to 11,300, for an apparent survival percentage of 0.77%.
Repetition of reporting the same survivors in different papers was first pointed out in 1978 . It occurs in various ways, such as when papers include survivors from many different institutions or known databases in a specific country or even when a study includes patients from many countries. Thus 92 of the 620 studies with 5-year survivors are from many institutions in a specific country or 14.8% and 10 of these from many countries or 1.6%.
Repetition occurs, though mainly when the patient population and survivors from a certain year are reported several times from the same institution. As can be seen in Figures 1–5, repetition has occurred up to 6–8 times in Germany, Italy, and Japan and up to 20 times in the US.
Figure 1: Repetitions Germany sample. See [40–65].
Figure 2: Repetitions Italy sample. See [66–91].
Figure 3: Repetitions Japan sample. See [92–156].
Figure 4: Repetitions Mayo Clinic. See [157–179].
Figure 5: Repetitions Johns Hopkins University. See [38, 180–207].
Examination of reports from a single institution covering the entire study period and stating the number of survivors and then adding up the number of patients from all the studies, including those with an estimated number of survivors, reveals that the total number reported is over 10 times larger than the number reported in the studies with a documented number of survivors.
Each paper may at times reveal some new information but only infrequently is it disclosed that the patients have been reported before.
There is no scientific method to assess the number of repetitions accurately but each reported 5-year survivor and thereby respective resection and the TN seems to be reported 3–5 times. Dividing the number of reported survivors and respective resections and TN by 4, the overall number of 5-year survivors is hardly more than 2,800, the number of resections 40,500, and the original TN number of patients 433,000.
Repetitions occur also in the "no-survivor" group of reports, but not as frequently. It may be assumed that all published reports with or without survivors are drawn from a TN of approx. 1,000,000 patients and with fewer than 3,000 survivors, of whom a significant number were nonresected, meaning that the overall survival rate was no more than approximately 0.3%.
Mortality during the first 20 years, 1945–1965, was on average 25.2% with a single report of 62.5%. During the next 20 years or up to 1984 mortality was on average 19.9% with the highest rate at 52%. In 1985–1994 it lowered to 9.8%. In subsequent 5-year periods mortality was reduced to 6.8% and then 4.6% and during the last 5 years 4% with a high of 33%. Aside from the 33%, the average is now 3.7%. The overall mortality rate has therefore greatly reduced.
The majority of surgeons in recent decades have reported the number of positive margins and nodes and numbers over 60–70% frequently quoted [36–38]. It is of great interest that even in the most experienced hands only 16% of cases were both margins and nodes negative .
Tumor cells can be found in the bone marrow in up to 50% of cases .
Pancreatic cancer is thus both a costly and devastating disease and has usually spread beyond its boundaries at time of diagnosis and treatment and is thus a systemic disease. The literature on pancreatic surgery, while purporting to report the facts, is nevertheless inaccurate.
Life table curves should be accompanied by the actual number of survivors. The course of nonresected patients should be studied.
Surgical skills are imperative for the care and palliation of pancreatic cancer patients including possible resections, but they have had only a minimal impact on the survival rate.
It is of importance for the medical profession that published results are indisputable.
The paper is based on 45 years of continuous study of the cancer of pancreas with previous communications and papers.

Selling your home Ridgewood, NY is an involved process that affects your family and your future. Before you begin this process, you'll want to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information. When should you sell? How do you get the best price? What kinds of renovations should be made prior to the sale?


Co-founder Nick seems to be in a marginally better mood recently, probably because he has finally finished his book: The New Fire - Harness the Power of Video for Your Business. Here we ask him a few questions to give you an idea of what to expect.
If you would like to purchase a copy, please follow this link. Firstly, they're almost certain to sell out (Bezos is rubbing his hands together in anticipation of the launch already). Secondly, as an early registerer you might win a free copy! So, what are you waiting for!
Why is the book called The New Fire?
Firstly, fire and storytelling have always been closely linked. Using fire enabled us to get the nutrition required from our food to grow our brains, enabling us to have thoughts that focused beyond the immediate – 'why are sabre-toothed tigers so… bitey?', rather than simply 'that sabre-toothed tiger is going to eat me, I need to run away now.'. It also lengthened the day, which gave us the time to use our newly enhanced brains to think abstractly and construct abstract narratives - to tell stories. This is why storytelling is such an effective means of communication. Our brains literally evolved to make sense of information through them.
Secondly, I've always liked the metaphor of video as fire. They exhibit many similar qualities. Used effectively, it can be sustaining, providing energy and power for your cause. It can 'light a fire' in your audience's hearts and minds. Get it wrong and it can burn, damage and potentially kill you. In the online space, video spreads rapidly, enlightening or burning as it goes. Often with world changing ferocity. A fire of its time – the shocking LAPD/Rodney King case in the early '90s captured global attention because it was recorded for all to see. Now cameras are everywhere and distribution is immediate we all have that capability to create fire in our hands right now. Video has moved from being in the hands of the few, the privileged, who used it to broadcast their message, to being in the hands of the many – more or less everyone – who can use it to narrowcast to the few. This has huge ramifications for all of us, particularly business communicators.
This is why the Technological Revolution has allowed video to fully come of age. After 400 millennia fire was only harnessed with the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the steam and internal combustion engines. These transformed it from being a relatively raw asset – providing heat and light – and channelled it to power rapid advancement. This is the headspace that we need to be in when considering what video can do for us as modern communicators.
I wrote the New Fire because this evolution has happened so fast that even for those working in the industry, it can feel pretty overwhelming to get your head around. I wanted to help people to make sense of it by breaking down what video is, how it has evolved and what this means for businesses and brands.
I also read a lot of business books and am yet to find a comprehensive account of brand video. There are 'how to do it yourself' books, there are books that look at marketing generally, there are very technical books which breakdown strategy. I haven't yet found one that focuses specifically on corporate video. This has traditionally been a bit of a back water but this ignores the drastic evolution that has happened over the last decade. The UK government's Independent Review of the Creative Industries published in 2017 didn't include brand/corporate video content as a category, it didn't even mention it. This is an estimated $8 billion global industry!
There are thousands of companies that have grown up over the last decade, producing stunning work for global businesses. As a member of this thriving industry, I wanted to represent the changes that have happened and to help both parties to get more from the relationship.
Senior executives who want to understand more about using video content to engage staff, explain/promote products/launch or build a brand. The New Fire breaks down the assets that make video such a valuable tool so that you can think, speak plan around it from a position of understanding. From conversations with clients, senior execs and others working in the industry, I realised that there is often a bit of a knowledge gap between video practitioners, who tend to be a bit more clued up, and their bosses. This book specifically addresses that gap.
Corporate/brand video commissioners who want to understand how to work more effectively with third party producers. The book breaks down each phase of the commissioning process from writing an effective brief and defining your audience to producing a cohesive content strategy.
Marketers who want more detail on how and why one of the most potent tools in their armoury is just that. This book will help you to use it more effectively, improving returns from your campaigns.
Recruitment/HR/Employer Brand professionals who want to understand how to use video to attract, recruit and motivate staff.
Video producers/production companies/filmmakers working in business video who understand the process but might like a little more context.
The last ten years have seen a revolution in the way that video is used. Broadband Internet, DSLRs, camera phones, virals, YouTube, YouTubers, 3G, 4G, drones, consumer editing programmes, virtual reality, 360, augmented reality, interactive, all these things and more have completely changed video from the unidirectional tool for the privileged and put it in the hands of the masses. The most powerful communications tool yet invented can be used effectively. This has drastic implications for all of us, but it significantly changes the communications landscape for business. The pace of change has been such that to work in the way that many companies do, is to under realise the potential of this awesome platform.
Obviously, if you're an accountancy firm, or a bank, motorbike backflips aren't necessarily going to chime with your brand. But if you understand who your target audience area and what makes them tick and then see where that intersects with what you stand for as a brand, you can get a huge amount of value from using video. That could be in direct ways – increasing sales by explaining your products or recruiting better staff – or less direct ways – like improving brand perception which ultimately sells more and allows you to charge more. However it's used, the potential to build brand value is such, that businesses need to think about their content production as an additional product. This means that businesses need to think like broadcasters. They need to have a specific plan to deliver value for the business through content production. Whether they like it or not, they have a content channel and their audience expect them to use it, because if they don't their competitors already will be. The New Fire breaks down how to do exactly that.
Why is purpose such a valuable resource for content creators?
Using your business purpose as the cornerstone of your content is the best way to create impactful work. Having an anchor point which all of your creative can be linked back to also ensures that the content that you share through your 'channel' is coherent and relevant to your brand.
Business purpose has been such a hot topic over the last few years, underlined by Simon Sinek's excellent book – Start with Why – "people don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it". (Check out his extremely popular TED talk.) There are lots of reasons to have a purpose beyond the simple profit motive. For one, it's a really effective way of improving engagement among your employees. You should think of your purpose as your company's 'North Star', the idea or principle which can be used to inform every decision that you make. This makes it a powerfully aligning element for any business. It is hugely valuable externally too. Because it is your North Star, all of your content should have your company purpose woven into it. This can happen naturally if you feature members of your staff who are often the manifestation of your values. In other instances, it might be necessary to be more explicit in understanding how a project's creative concept links back.
Once you have clarified this you can create content which allows your audience to decide whether your values align with their own. If they do, then you will be on your way to building them into being fans and ultimately raving fans – the people who do your selling for you. I've oversimplified there, but creating content of this nature, which is very light touch on the selling side is one of the best ways of building a resilient and ultimately profitable following online.
Errr… why have you written a book about video?
Ha – I wrote a book for two reasons.
Firstly, it's essential to understand your audience and the way that they consume information. This book is for people who come in contact with video within their business and want to know more. According to Inc magazine, most senior execs read 4-5 books per month. I wanted to communicate them in the format that they would be most comfortable.
Secondly, video is an excellent communications medium, but it's not perfect for everything. There is a huge amount of information in there and I wanted people to be able to take the book, read it, peruse it and refer to it whenever they need to brush up on something. Want to understand the power of purpose? It's in there. Need to set a budget? It's in there? Want to know the difference between psychographic and demographic audience segmentation? It's in there. Whatever it is, I've tried to make the information as accessible and as easy to refer to as possible.
I am looking at producing more video around it, but it turns out that writing a book takes up quite a lot of time!
2018 was a rip-roaring ride in the land of video content, as it was pretty much everywhere else. With a new year dawning, we thought we'd take a minute to look at the Top 10 trends we've seen developing to help you understand how people will be using video in 2019.
If these gives you a few ideas that's great - we'd love to discuss them with you. Drop us a line or let us know your thoughts in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
Video is the most effective way to get a message across online. Because any video done properly represents an investment of money and time, it is essential that we maximise the mileage on anything produced. This has seen an increase in the amount of 'atomisation' of content – splitting projects into a large number of outputs. These can then be optimised and shared on different social/owned platforms. This optimisation includes varying the content, the length and the aspect ratio (using square video for Facebook/Instagram).
We recently delivered a follow-up series of 10 to 20 second soundbite films edited from material which hadn't made it into the original project's outputs. This gave that client a series of cost-effective videos which worked well on Instagram Stories. This added another phase to the campaign without having to pick up a camera.
The last year has seen our clients work with us on some of the best films we have ever made. The importance of pace and brevity has definitely caught on. It is now accepted and understood that shoehorning additional messaging into films does not increase the amount of information that the audience takes from them.
This is an important step towards better, more impactful work. There is so much content pollution out there, it is increasingly important for the material you share to be of a decent standard. This does not necessarily mean spending huge sums, but it does mean that you should take the time to consider what you are trying to achieve.
We all have the means to shoot high quality video in our pockets. This makes the format even more accessible than it was before. Whether it's a company news update or explaining a new advertised recruitment role, it's never been easier to share video content. Coupled with how much more engaging video is, this is an excellent way to make sure that your message is heard online.
To keep in step with this, it's worth helping your staff to use their equipment properly and developing video branding guidelines and packs which can help to standardise the look and feel of your output.
This increase in the ease and speed of video production means that the next development we should expect to see is better personalisation. Whether you are creating video specifically for an individual or for a small targeted group, your audience want to engage with content which is perfectly aligns with their worldview. The most effective communicators should be looking at ways to tailor their content to the audience in order to do this.
Live streaming on the various social platforms has really come of age. It's growth over the last three years has been really significant. It works because it feels personal, immediate and engaging for the viewer. This contributes to the increases in engagement that those sharing live video can enjoy. This is a trend which will run and run.
Virtual reality, 360 and Interactive have all continued to come of age, they give communicators an excellent opportunity to excite and interest audiences. This is particularly true at trade shows/conferences, where the spectacle of the equipment being used can add to the buzzy nature of the technology. Beyond this, we have seen uses of new technology used as a tool to enhance the message, moving significantly beyond the gimmickry of some of the early adoption.
Your audience are more distracted than they have ever been. With more of them accessing your content through their mobile devices than ever before, they are empowered to choose how they spend their time. This means that communicators have to offer content which carries its own inherent value. As marketing guru Seth Godin says, you should aim to create material which your audience would "miss if it wasn't there." This is a high bar, but an essential one to clear if we are to stand a chance of standing out and landing our messages with the audience.
Given its accessibility and the online audience's preference for video, it's not surprising that more and more brands are thinking far more like traditional media companies. For some time now, there have been outliers - RedBull, GE, Volvo Trucks - who have used video to communicate and develop significant additional brand value. This is a trend that looks set to continue and accelerate over the coming months and years. To capitalise on the opportunity that this represents, brands should have a coherent content plan, which serves their audience the material they are after in the form that they prefer.
Given all this change and the requirement to create more content than ever, it's not surprising that clients expect their supplier relationships to evolve. To help clients get the most from the relationship, production companies are moving into the role of content partners. This means working seamlessly together, supplementing each other's resources and abilities as necessary, allowing each party to play to their strengths.
Whether that is some communications consultancy or the creation of some animated stings to make some internal user generated content look more professional, the relationship of the future will be based on flexibility and understanding.
Whatever the purpose of your video or how it is are executed, storytelling and narrative remain central to landing creative messages with any audience. New tech and evolving approaches should be used to enhance storytelling, rather than as a crutch for poorly thought through creative. Used properly though, they make 2019 the most exciting year to be a corporate/brand filmmaker yet.
We'd be really keen to hear what you think about this list – please leave a comment below. If the pace of change feels intimidating, you can console yourself with the fact that you don't need to do it alone. Book a call with one of our producers and we'd be happy to discuss how you can make 2019 your most successful year yet.
The Casual Films Academy charity comes to Oakland!
We have recently completed the first outing of the Casual Films Academy Charity in our new spot in California. We worked with a number of young people from Guardian Gyms to make a series of films to help the non-profit to expand into a second larger space.
Back in 2012, we realised that the process of producing films gives the opportunity for a double win. On the one hand, the film itself can be used as a valuable promotional tool for a local charity that wouldn't otherwise be able to afford one. On the other the process of making the film gives the opportunity to give access to young people to experience the many benefits of working in a creative team and making something. Since then we have worked with well over 100 young people. This year, with the help of our excellent staff, we brought the idea to Oakland, San Francisco Bay, CA.
The local cause we decided to work with was Guardian Gym - a non-profit martial arts gym based. They offer free classes to kids in the community, where they practice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and boxing and are mentored, gain self-confidence. This helps them to develop important life skills like discipline. It works in a similar way to Tom's Shoes - one paying adult membership also pays for a young person's membership.
Guardian Gym's model has been so successful that they have outgrown their space. They need more funding to help them to open a second, larger facility to accommodate more members – both adults and kids. The videos we made with our academicians (if we can call them that!) are intended to promote and raise money for this second location.
We created five 30 second videos, each focused on a different young person. They filmed and edited these with minimal direction and guidance from CF resident filmmaker James Fair. That's worth repeating - these films were shot and edited by our Academy students. Each video tells the story of how Guardian Gym has helped them overcome a challenge they faced. You can see the films by clicking here.
The young people seemed to really enjoy the community atmosphere and collaboration of the production. They got proper hands-on experience and were really able to take control of what they were making. Watching them, you wouldn't guess that they were shot and edited by kids between the ages of 10-13 (and 18). They turned out to be amazing, and showcase how committed and dedicated these five kids are to both Guardian Gym and the Academy.
"Capturing some of our kids while they participate in a project to learn how to film, edit, and tell a story with the Casual Academy. Such a great learning experience for them to find a potential passion early in life. We can't tanks James, Lydia and Sanica enough."
A massive thank you to everyone involved in the the project. It wouldn't have been possible without the time, effort and energy that our Oakland team put into it. If you want to make a donation please click here.
This week we were thrilled to receive a Board of Trade Award, or 'BOFTA', which was given out by the Rt Hon Dr Liam Fox, President of the Board of Trade and UK Minister for International Trade. We were aboard HMS Queen Elizabeth in New York Harbour to receive the award "celebrating the best in British innovation and entrepreneurship" for our contributions to Transatlantic trade.
As a production company we tend to pick up awards for our films. It's therefore rather nice to pick one up for the business side of things. We first set up in New York in 2011. Building the business up in the US has been an amazing adventure and continues to challenge and engage us.
The Queen Elizabeth is the UK's newest aircraft carrier, costing the taxpayer a handsome £3.1 billion. We're pleased to report that the money has been well spent and it made for a cracking backdrop to an award ceremony.
We were ferried to the warship flanked by NYPD helicopters and machine-gun armed patrol boats – which certainly built our anticipation for the event. The ship cut an impressive silhouette against the darkening sky. Having arrived we were saluted and piped aboard by the assembled sailors and marines. It was the first time the Board of Trade's flag had flown above a warship in New York Harbour since the War of Independence.
Inside the hangar, flanked by Merlin helicopters, we were treated to G&Ts (with tonic from fellow award winners Fever Tree), a greeting from the commander of the ship, Captain Kydd - no relation - and a selection of tunes from the band of the Royal Marines. This was followed by a fair bit of photographing and discussing how we had come to end up on the boat, award in hand.
The award comes at an excellent time for Casual too, reflecting our ongoing dedication to our relationship with the US. A new fully equipped 5,500 sqft studio in New York, a new office in San Francisco along with some of our best work ever in London, have made 2018 one of our best ever. Thank you to all our amazing clients and staff for sticking with us and making it such a success. A massive thank you to Richard Powell at the Department for International Trade in New York - and everyone from the UK government - who has helped to make our business in the US such a success so far.

Wolves must seize second chance with Lucas Ocampos
by Jimmy Moorhouse @JimmyMoorhouse share
2 minute read 2/12/2022 | 12:30pm
Lucas Ocampos is a name that has been linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers on a number of occasions over the past few seasons but January could be their best chance yet to sign the Argentinian.
The Old Gold reportedly enquired about signing the former Marseille man earlier this year but he would instead join Ajax on a loan-to-buy deal in the Eredivisie, leaving Julen Lopetegui's Sevilla.
But a reunion could potentially be on the cards for the two in January if reports about Ocampos' future with the Dutch giants are to be believed.
According to Football Espana, there are whispers that Ocampos could return to Sevilla in January after a lack of appearances for Ajax so far this campaign, and with the winger having already revealed that he is ready for a new challenge, it is suggested that the La Liga side could cut their losses on him.
Shi could land Lopetegui his own Zinchenko with Wolves swoop for £10m World Cup dynamo - opinion
Lopetegui could finally bin "top player" in Wolves swoop for "phenomenal" £20m machine - opinion
Lopetegui must reconsider "versatile" 10-pass Wolves target after World Cup disaster - opinion
In 135 appearances under Lopetetgui for Sevilla, the 28-year-old would contribute an impressive 34 goals and 16 assists, so he is surely a favourite of the Spaniard and could definitely be tempted by a reunion in January.
Should Wolves sign Ocampos?
This season has seen Ocampos manage just 114 minutes of action for Ajax, which likely cost him a place in Argentina's World Cup squad, so it is no surprise that he is keen to leave The Johan Cruyff Arena in January.
Lionel Messi would perhaps have preferred if Ocampos had travelled to Qatar for this year's World Cup, as he was full of praise for the impact he had with the national side.
"The appearance of Lucas Ocampos was extraordinary for the good of the group," he once said.
Any player who is highly rated by one of, if not the best player to ever live, would surely be worth bringing to Molineux in January, especially when you consider that Wolves have been linked in the past and Lopetegui already knows how to get the best out of him.
Can you guess which Wolves player scored the most goals in all competitions during the season in question? Let's start with 2010/11...
Kevin Doyle
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake
With Wolves struggling so much in front of goal, it is clear that attacking additions are a must, so Wolves must seize this second chance to sign long-term target Ocampos in next month's window.

Ellen DeGeneres reveals Elton John's surprising reaction after she came out gay | HELLO!
Ellen DeGeneres has candidly opened up about the moment she first came out as gay. During an interview with Dax Shepard for his Armchair Expert podcast, the TV presenter - who is married to actress Portia de Rossi - confessed that she was particularly hurt by Elton John's reaction. "Even Elton John said, 'Shut up already. We know you're gay. Be funny'," she shared. "I had never met him and I thought, 'What kind of support is that from a gay person?' But everybody assumed I was just nonstop talking about. It hurt my feelings."
In April 1997, Ellen, 60, publicly came out on the cover of Time magazine, swiftly followed by an episode of her ABC sitcom. She explained: "This is a long, long story - but they really didn't want me to come out. I wanted to come out. I said, 'It's my life. I want to come out. I want the character to come out. It's the time.' I said, 'I'm going to lose the career. Like, you can just put another show on. It's my show to lose' - even though it wasn't my show."
Of the backlash, Ellen added: "People were making fun of me. I was really depressed. And because of that and because the show was cancelled, I was looked at as a failure in this business. No one would touch me. I had no agent, I had no possibility of a job, I had nothing." After the sitcom, Ellen quickly became one of America's most popular TV hosts. It's been a year since Ellen celebrated the 20-year anniversary of her coming-out episode on her talk show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "It was the hardest thing that I ever had to do in my life," she said. "And I would not change one moment of it because it led me to be exactly where I am today, standing in front of all of you."

Q: Symfony2 + functional test + authentication I want to prepare simple function test in PHPUnit for my symfony 2 project: authenticate user and display some page without redirecting to login form.
I use LDAP user provider (IMAG\LdapBundle\Provider\LdapUserProvider).
My firewalls configuration in security.yml:
firewalls:
    secured_area:
        pattern: ^/
        provider: ldap
        imag_ldap:
            login_path:   /login
        logout:
            path:   /logout
            target: /

In my test controller I have following methods:
protected function createClientWithAuthentication($firewallName, array $options = array(), array $server = array())
{
    $client = $this->createClient($options, $server);
    $client->getCookieJar()->set(new \Symfony\Component\BrowserKit\Cookie(session_name(), true));
    $user = $this->getCurrentUser($client);
    $token = new UsernamePasswordToken($user, null, $firewallName, $user->getRoles());
    $client->getContainer()->get('session')->set('_security_' . $firewallName, serialize($token));
    return $client;
}

protected function getCurrentUser($client) {
    $userProvider = $client->getContainer()->get('imag_ldap.security.user.provider');
    $user = $userProvider->loadUserByUsername('my.login');
    return $user;
}

Then I have simple test:
public function testProfile()
{
    $c = $this->createClientWithAuthentication('secured_area');
    $c->request('GET', '/profile');
    $this->assertEquals($c->getResponse()->getStatusCode(), 200);
}

Test fails:

Failed asserting that 200 matches expected 302.

I digged it and I found out that I receive complete user from user provider (all fields are properly filled). But response is redirecting to localhost/login page.
Please tell me what else I can test... where is the place where decision is made if login page should (or not) be displayed?

A: I have WebTestCase base class that creates a authorized client. You can adapt it to your purpose ...
class BaseWebTestCase extends WebTestCase{

    protected $client;

    protected function setUp(){
        $this->client=$this->createAuthorizedClient();
    }

    /**
     * @return \Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Client
     */
    protected function createAuthorizedClient()
    {
        $client = static::createClient();
        $container = $client->getContainer();

        /** @var Person $user */
        $user=$container->get("netnotes.cust.person")->getRepository()->getSuperAdmin();

        $session = $container->get('session');
        /** @var $userManager \FOS\UserBundle\Doctrine\UserManager */
        $userManager = $container->get('fos_user.user_manager');

        /** @var $loginManager \FOS\UserBundle\Security\LoginManager */
        $loginManager = $container->get('fos_user.security.login_manager');
        $firewallName = $container->getParameter('fos_user.firewall_name');

        $user = $userManager->findUserBy(array('username' => $user->getUsername()));
        $loginManager->loginUser($firewallName, $user);

        // save the login token into the session and put it in a cookie
        $container->get('session')->set('_security_' . $firewallName,
            serialize($container->get('security.context')->getToken()));
        $container->get('session')->save();
        $client->getCookieJar()->set(new Cookie($session->getName(), $session->getId()));

        return $client;
    }

As he serves out the last year of his contract, superintendent Clifford Janey's legacy can be seen in mayor's new educational initiative.
Newark superintendent Clifford Janey, front, standing with Newark Mayor Cory Booker and Assemblywoman Mila Jasey.
Two years ago, Clifford Janey, the now-vanquished superintendent of Newark schools, spoke of lofty goals in bold language.
He would lead a citywide effort to determine what Newark's residents and leaders thought was best for the public schools.
He would hold forums and community meetings and roll out a strategic plan for public education in New Jersey's largest city, promising more accountability and higher expectations for the schools and their students.
Yesterday, as Newark Mayor Cory Booker launched Partnership for Education in Newark, or PENewark, a public campaign on behalf of Newark schools and their $100 million Facebook gift, Janey sat in the front row among the VIPs – a tad bittersweet that his term would end so soon.
Its new offices located in a former furniture store on Market Street, PENewark plans to hold meetings across the city to develop a common vision for the public schools and for the Facebook endowment, Booker said.
That was not terribly different from what Janey said a year earlier, after his first year on the job, as the new superintendent unveiled his "Great Expectations" strategic plan for the schools.
Laid out as a four-year plan, Janey's 59-page document included calls and strategies for raising the professional standards for teachers, transforming high schools with higher expectations for students and building stronger community and national partnerships.
Janey presented nearly 100 "first-year actions" to take place immediately, from inventory and alignment of curriculum to new voicemail and email systems for keeping parents informed.
Of course, Gov. Chris Christie within the year would tell Janey that he would not be rehired next year. The Facebook money provided a symbolic fresh start for the district, and Christie said it would be one made under a new superintendent whom Booker would help hire.
But while he remains in office, Janey's strategic plan and the process of developing it were held up yesterday as an important starting point.
"The greatest outcome from the strategic plan was that it honestly assessed where our students are," said Kathleen Nugent of Democrats for Education Reform, an advocacy group closely tied to the PENewark campaign.
"Honesty is a prerequisite for reform," she continued, quoting data from Janey's plan. "Only 38% of our incoming freshmen are on track to graduate in four years and about half are graduating now. These are tremendous challenges that the next superintendent needs to understand. The plan is a strong foundation from which to move forward."
The audience seemed to appreciate that Janey would leave a legacy in his short time here, as the superintendent drew maybe the biggest applause among the introductions.
How long he'll be around is still uncertain, since Booker and Christie have said a new superintendent would not be named until the public engagement campaign was completed, slated for around January.
Yesterday, Janey himself made little mention of his plans as he rides out his term. As Booker this time took a seat, Janey was invited to the podium and offered his own advice, one of collaboration and engagement beyond just an eight-week window.
Janey closed with rhetoric to match the mayor's, making his first reference to the fact he would likely not be around to see his strategic plan come to fruition.

CLATT'S ALL FOLKS
Clattenburg reveals he quit refereeing after realising he 'can't be bothered with idiots like Jose Mourinho complaining'

Updated: 20:53, 21 Sep 2021
MARK CLATTENBURG made the decision to quit refereeing after deciding he 'wasn't bothered' with criticism from Jose Mourinho.
Having picked up the whistle in non-League football in 1994, the County Durham-born official worked his way up the pyramid to reach the Premier League in 2004 and Fifa's elite list two years later.

But Clattenburg fell out of love with the game after losing his patience for complaining managers and disagreeing with his fellow refs.
In the 46-year-old's autobiography, which has been serialised in The Times, he revealed the moment he decided to quit English football.
Following a match between Manchester United and Stoke City, Mourinho voiced his frustrations with the official and earned an earful in reply.
Clattenburg has admitted to throwing a boot at a wall and shouting at the manager to get out.
Overwhelmed by the stresses of the game, he felt that he 'could not be bothered with idiots like that any more'.
After leaving the Prem for a job overseeing referees in Saudi Arabia, he moved to the Chinese Super League and now works with Uefa in Greece.

One bone of contention Clattenburg maintains with his time in England is the response to his un-referee-like penchant for tattoos and fresh haircuts.
As the referee for both the 2016 Champions League and Euros final, his decision to mark the occasions with tattoos drew criticism.
But he wrote: "It was the best thing I ever did.
"Many people get it done but in refereeing people frown at anyone doing anything different.
Why shouldn't a referee have a nose piercing? You are in the public eye and people assume they can criticise you.
"Your tie has to be the right length, your shoes have to be right... an old-school mentality.
"[Pierluigi] Collina, the best referee in the world, had tattoos. But there seems to be an English thing dictating how you should be. I was called vain, a disgrace.
"Why shouldn't a referee have a nose piercing if they want? You are in the public eye and people assume they can criticise you."

A 22-year-old woman seen choking a bouncer into unconsciousness after she mistakenly thought he had slapped her on the bottom has been charged with second-degree strangulation, authorities say.
Surveillance video of the incident was released by the Plattsburgh Police Department and appears to show the 5'1" 125-pound woman identified as Kierah LaGrave, choking the bouncer into submission near the Five1Eight nightclub's dance floor on Oct. 20.
In the video LaGrave approaches the bouncer from behind and puts her arms around his neck. After a few seconds, they both fall to the floor.
In another portion of the video, the 21-year-old LaGrave can be seen dancing with a friend at the bar a few moments earlier. The friend then slaps LaGrave on the behind after she turns away. That's when LaGrave turns to see the much taller bouncer and moves to take him down.
Police say the bouncer told them he didn't resist the chokehold because he believed it was a friend playing a prank on him.
LaGrave later admitted to police that she choked the man because he had grabbed her. She's been released on her own recognizance and is due back in court on Nov. 20.

Tickets for Less
With some West End ticket prices soaring as high as £250 a show, we look at some of our tried and tested methods to save you money and still get great seats.
1) Finding a bargin
Nowadays, the easiest way for most people to buy tickets in advance of a show is to do it online. It's relatively straigtforward, doesn't take up much time, and you can do it from the comfort of your own sofa. We've found that the main trick with buying tickets online is knowing it's not necessarily about any particular website to buy them from, it's about knowing where the best value for money seats are and then finding a website that sells them. As the motto of theatremonkey.com (a website dedicated to educating the audience on making the most out of their ticket money) goes - 'Not every seat is created equal'.
On theatremonkey, you can choose from a list of many theatres, and each one has a plan that shows the best seats in each price range, also showing the price ranges of the seats. On top of that, they also have reviews from previous audience members so you can spot if a seat is really worth the saving or whether you should splash out a bit more.
Seatplan.com also offer a similar service, with West End attendees posting reviews and even photos from their seats.
2) You have to be in it to win it
If you're a little bit more of a risk taker, day seats and lotteries might be your way forward. If you're willing to risk it at the last minute, day seats can be a great way to see some of the top shows for as little as £10, and these types of tickets are offered by a lot of West End theatres. You will often you have to queue up at the theatre early on in the day in the hope that you can beat everyone else who's after these valuable tickets, but we've had some great successes with this method. You often end up in the first or second row of the stalls too!
Many theatres are now also offering lotteries, which you can enter well in advance of the show date in the hope of being one of the lucky few to win tickets at a very reasonable price. Hamilton for instance offers seats with great views for £10 in it's lottery. We also recently entered the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Friday Forty lottery, winning tickets for the following week's shows at £20 each a ticket - we were on the second row of the stalls with a fantastic view!
Each theatre is different regarding their policies on day seats and lotteries, so it's good to do your research beforehand. Where can you get information on each theatre? Well, aside from the each theatre's official website, theatremonkey is also perfect for that too. They have a whole page dedicated to day seats and lotteries and tips on how to score tickets.
3) Tkts for tickets
If you're quite flexible about what you want to see, another of the 'on the day options' is the Tkts booth in London's Leicester Square. Make sure you head to the official one though, as there are many other "value ticket booths" around that area, who will often try to sell you tickets in poor seats at vastly inflated prices. The Tkts booth is an offical reseller and it's also a nonprofit organisation so it isn't out to overcharge you. You do have to visit the booth in person but it's worth it for some of the amazing savings you can make. The Tkts booths also exist across the pond, where a similar booth sits right in the heart of Broadway and Times Square in New York (which we've also frequented).
The booth sells last minute tickets at discounted prices, and these are often tickets that the theatres are desperate to sell. They frequently include the "premium" seats at many theatres, as quieter shows can struggle to sell them. In the past, we've bought £85 premium circle seats for Les Mis for as little as £40, and 6th row of the stalls seats for Jersey Boys for a similar amount.
You can check out the Tkts website which lists some the tickets they will have avaliabe over the next few days. Obviosuly it's unlikely you're going to get £30 premium seats for the latest big hit, but a lot of the shows will have cheaper seats avaliable - or at least tickets at the original price.
4) Timing is Everything
January and early February are the West End's slowest periods of the year, so this is the time when seats are at their cheapest. Most theatres partake in the "Get Into London" scheme which offer tickets at heavily discounted prices to get people to come along and boost their sometimes flagging audience numbers. The tickets go on sale in the Autumn and you can sign up to get a reminder of when they go on sale.
If you want to take young people to the theatre, check out Kids Week in the summer holidays. They offer buy one get one free tickets - subscribe to them to get alerts when they go on sale.
Midweek shows, especially matinees, are also great and will offer cheaper tickets (if your boss will give you the time off work of course!).
5) Theatre with Friends
If you can get a group of 10 or more people together, you can often qualify for a group rate. Top price tickets of £75+ can be as low as £39pp.
Groupline are one of the top providers of group rates on the West End with excellent service. Once of the best things about the company is that you can reserve tickets in advance for no deposit so you have time to finalise numbers and organise payment.
We've taken a group of 11 to see Wicked for £45 a ticket center stalls (priced around £75pp) so getting a group together can really make a difference.

Education of the built environment is moving towards more collaborative practices. The intent behind the collaborative approach of teaching is to encourage students to explore the unknowns and unravel the problems themselves, with the professor acting as the facilitator. This paper presents a collaborative pedagogical approach that was adopted to teach students from two geographically distant universities. The occasion used was preparation of student teams for Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) student competitions. The participants began by engaging online in a virtual environment and later moved to face-to-face collaboration solving an interdisciplinary design build problem as part of the student competition. The authors adopted an action research method to enhance the capabilities of the students in understanding and generating constructive behavioral changes. The intention was to empower the students to explore new horizons by 'clarifying and negotiating' ideas and concerns. The authors evaluated the usefulness of this pedagogical approach based on direct and indirect measures. The pedagogical approach presented is a part of an ongoing initiative between three universities that have shown positive results based on the teams' performance in the competition as well as affirmative feedback from the student participants.
