Jeremy and Anne were married in 1993. After a 14-year marriage and two children, Anne filed for divorce in 2007. Ms. Holtzman represented Jeremy. The children, both girls, were born in May 1996, and November 1998, respectively. At the time Anne filed for divorce, they were eight and ten.
The couple, who had been raising their children in suburban Rockland County, New York, initially agreed to share custody of their children -- one week on, one week off. In their divorce agreement, the parties agreed to maintain residences within close proximity to each other, and not to do "anything which shall estrange the children from the other party or injure the child's opinion of the mother or father." The agreement further required that neither party could relocate with the children without giving the other party 90 days' written notice and an opportunity to object.
The shared custody arrangement worked well until July of 2011, when Anne chose to relocate to an exclusive town on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, nearly three hours away. She had met a man and was planning to remarry. However, Anne had failed to give her ex-husband the required 90 days' written notice of her plan to relocate, as set forth in their separation agreement. She also violated her agreement not to relocate until the parties agreed or the court made a decision.
Jeremy, upon learning of Anne's relocation plan, went to court and obtained a stay to prevent her from removing the girls from Rockland County and enrolling them in schools on Long Island. He asked for sole physical custody of the two children. In response to Jeremy's action, Anne petitioned for a modification of the Judgment of Divorce, also seeking sole physical custody of the girls.
At trial, most witnesses agreed that both parents had always enjoyed healthy and loving relationships with the children. However, subsequent to Anne's move to Long Island, friends and family observed that the children became dismissive, critical, and even defiant of their dad. Two of Anne's own sisters actually testified on Jeremy's behalf, describing how Anne had been alienating the girls from their father as well as from their aunts.
The court did not authorize an immediate move to Long Island, as Anne had asked. Instead, the girls were enrolled in school in Rockland County. However, the girls now refused to go to school. They had never previously been defiant, and when Jeremy requested that Anne speak with them, she refused. A forensic psychiatrist appointed by the court to evaluate the girls said that both were in a sustained state of tantrum when he met with them. They believed that they were entitled to have, and should have, what they wanted. The forensic expert reported that he believed the mother's behavior had put the girls in a divided situation and caused a crisis in their lives.
In October of 2011, the court temporarily suspended contact between the girls and their mother because of their refusal to go to school. Once the court issued its order, the girls began to attend school regularly, and became a bit more cooperative with Jeremy at home. In order to improve the situation, Jeremy hired a psychologist, and reached out to the county's Family Assessment Center, who began working with the family. After refusing to attend school for much of September, the girls seemed to be making friends at school, and Jeremy also welcomed the friends they had made in Long Island into his home.
However, when the girls later spoke with the judge in his chambers, they said that they would prefer to live with their mother, that they were closer to her, and presented a negative picture of life in their father's home. Other comments revealed that they may have been far more involved in the details of the litigation than is appropriate for children.
During the trial, the forensic psychiatrist who had assessed the situation gave his testimony. The doctor described Jeremy as a very stable person invested in school, work, and music, who spent time hiking and biking with the girls. He testified that Anne was not that stable, having had several homes in Rockland, and an eviction; he also expressed his concern about Anne's relationships with a number of men over the past several years. For these and other reasons, the doctor testified that it would be in the best interest of the children to remain in the custody of their father.
A private psychologist who had been working with the children on and off over the years also expressed concern that the mother was undermining the children's relationship with their father. Under the law, the court was required to determine what custodial arrangement would be in the children's best interests. The judge found that the stability the children had enjoyed before Anne's relocation had "evaporated as a result of [her unilateral] decision." The court maintained that Anne had acted selfishly, and found that Jeremy represented greater stability for the children. Additionally, the court found that Jeremy had always shown great willingness to foster the girls' relationship with their mother, whereas Anne had selfishly put them into "a horrible situation...making them warriors in her quest to spend her days in Long Island."
After considering all the evidence presented, as well as the arguments of the lawyers, and the best interests of the children, the court gave Jeremy even more than he had originally asked for. The judge awarded Jeremy sole physical custody of the children, and legal custody as well. Because Anne had relocated in violation of her divorce agreement, she was also required by the court to pick up and return the children for all visitation.
Ms. Holtzman prevailed in this complex custody litigation, as she has in many other custody cases, including precedent-setting cases in the State of New York. If you need an experienced trial attorney, you can reach the Law Office of Ellen Holtzman at 845-627-0127.

Speech Chairman of the board of Curacao Airport Holding during groundbreaking airport expansion project
Today marks an important milestone in the future development of our internationally competitive Curaçao International Airport. Please take note that you are witness to the groundbreaking that will pave the way to taking our airport to the next level. Ultimately making us all proud.
Curaçao Airport Holding, is, on behalf of the government of Curaçao, the supervisor of airport activities. We constantly monitor and stimulate the performance of the airport operator CAP. Together with CAP we engage in the innovation and growth of our airport's service level and capacity.
In our 2014 - 2018 Strategic Masterplan, Curacao Airport Holding has prioritized the upgrade of our airport's service level and passenger capacity.
Our long time partnership with Curaçao Airport Partners is proving to be a strong and future focused bond. At the moment our airport accommodates 1.8 million passengers per year. After the expansion it will be able to accommodate 2.5 million.
CAP will invest two thirds of the total budget expansion. CAP see value in our airport and Island. Take note that CAP will invest more than 2.5 times the amount they should according to the DOMA. They should invest 10 million USD but decided to invest 25 million dollars.
CAH will invest the other third. We are proud to contribute to this ambitious airport expansion plan with 14 million USD.
It is our firm belief that Curaçao International Airport should play a central role in positioning Curacao as an international powerhouse between Europe and the Americas. Singapore's slogan is: "Where east meets west" Why not dream it, for Curacao: "where north meets south."
The sky should not be the limit, when envisioning the Curaçao International Airport to be a highly efficient airport, Traffic from all destinations, and connecting the passengers and cargo from every continent.
The airport will be at the center of a dynamic Airport City with aviation and non-aviation businesses, focusing on green, sustainable, innovative and knowledge-intensive industries. Creating a powerful engine for economic development, claiming our international competitive position and stimulating employment on our island.
As my fellow speakers of today have extensively illustrated, the airport expansion will greatly upgrade the passenger experience of our island's visitors.
But the expansion will also greatly contribute to the airport's competitive position in the international airline arena.
I leave you with a quote from our partner and friend, Mr. Ralph Blanchard: "If it's good for the airport it's good for CAP. If it's good for CAP it's good for the airport". And I say; then it should be good for the Island and people of Curacao.

I have been reading the last couple of days about the Burzynski Clinic and how they have been interacting with those who do not agree with them (after doing research and things, as the Burzynski Clinic appear to be quacks). The one that stands out to me most is their communication with Rhys Morgan, a 17 year old Welsh student. It's disgusting and disgraceful.
i suspect that both burzynski and the FDA, etc are at fault in some of the things they do, bt i dont find that idiots threats very nice and i would much rather be able to see both sides of the story!


The First Residential College (ASTAR), University of Malaya is veritably entitled as the oldest pioneer among the overall twelve hostels situated in the campus. Zealous with its hospitality as such, ASTAR was celebrating its 57th anniversary of Fiesta Hari Terbuka (FHT) from 24th February 2017 to 26th February 2017. FHT is an event organized annually aiming to strengthen the bonding of the college residents from different races and courses.
One of the highlights of the event was Borneo Night as the theme of opening ceremony. On Friday night, Tun Perak Hall, as used to be, once again became the conflux of ASTARians. The crowd was immensely entertained by the Ngajat and Limbai Bajau dances performed by SEKAR and also, the grandioso duet singing by two Borneo ASTARians which shot the peak of the night insomuch they won the standing ovation of the audience with their proprietary melodious vocal. A small number of audiences even hopped onto the stage, adding hues to the performance with their free-style dance, epitomising a warming display of harmony. It was a great night full of cheers and laughter as every attendee grabbed the chance to taste the Borneo Mee Kolok and Teh 3 Layer as supper.
Haunted House, unprecedented for the past 56 years, had piqued hundreds of public to congregate at our hostel. The feedback collected was unexpectedly whopping compliments as if the satisfaction and adventure were worth for the RM3 entrance fee, marking the success of this activity. Besides, the Open Floor session was typically for the visitation of residents and felos to both male and female hostels. Each floor was mesmerizingly decorated according to the theme assigned respectively with the main theme, Art.
The three-day-event comprised blood donation, dental checkup, sports games, running man, food stalls and book stalls. It was truly a success as it inadvertently strengthened the bond among ASTARians through the spectrum of activities, involving the interaction with other hostel as well. Tremendously, FHT ASTAR 2017 would like to grab this opportunity to thank all the sponsors for their support and contribution.


You may have a great strategy for getting to the finish line quickly, but it won�t help you much if you let other boats push you around. That�s why having good boat-on-boat tactics is so important.
Tactics are the moves you make to stay in control of your race and follow your strategic plan. When you�re approaching a finish line, there are basically two tactical approaches you might take. You can either try to catch the boat(s) in front of you, or stay ahead of the boat(s) behind you (or do some combination of both). This choice depends on which boats are closer (the ones just ahead or the ones just behind), and whether of not you�re content with your position.
Of the two choices you have, it�s usually harder to pass boats than to avoid being passed. So before you go on the attack, think about risk and reward. Are you willing to risk your position in order to have a chance to improve it?
If your answer is yes, the basic rule of thumb for playing catch-up is to do something different than the boats you�re trying to catch. If they head for the committee boat end of the line, for example, you should go for the pin (unless the boat is obviously favoured!). When you�re getting close to the finish, you won�t usually pass boats by following. It�s too late to catch them with better speed or wait for them to make a mistake.
Your best bet is to split from the boats ahead, hope for a favourable windshift or puff, and try a few high-percentage tactical moves.
� Stay to the right of other boats and don�t converge with them until you have a chance to catch them in a port-starboard situation.
� Look ahead and stay in lanes of clear air as you approach the finish. The best way to avoid bad air may be to avoid the middle. Watch out for the RC boat�s wind shadow.
� Don�t overstand the favoured end of the line because you�ll lose distance, get tacked on, and give up your ability to shoot the line.
� Finish right at the favoured end and, if it�s close, shoot it!
� Keep working hard until the very end because there is always a chance to pass boats that are bunched up at the finish line.
It usually pays to finish very close to the favoured end of the line (in this photo it�s the boat end on your right), but be careful when you have a committee boat there. If you cross the line too close to the boat, you may not be able to clear its bow or anchor line without tacking. Even after finishing, you can still be penalized (for touching the RC boat or fouling a competitor) until you clear both ends of the line. So when you�re in traffic, think about making a safer approach where you are sure to fetch the favoured end of the line (like the second Oppie from the right).
If you�re happy with your position in the race (or if you feel it�s too risky or difficult to pass boats ahead), try to maintain your current position until the finish. The best way to stay ahead of boats behind you is to keep sailing fast and smart. As they say, a good offence is often the best defence. If you maintain boatspeed, sail to the favoured side of the course and finish at the closer end, no one will be able to pass you.
However, predicting the favoured side of the course is not nearly a sure thing. That�s why the most important rule of thumb for staying ahead may be to cover, cover, cover. Don�t give the boats behind any leverage they can use to pass you if the wind shifts. Even if you know they are going the wrong way, stay with them because a) you never know for sure; and b) it won�t help to go the right way because you�ll just be farther ahead.
When you�re heading for the finish, identify the boats behind you that are your biggest threats. Cover these boats by staying between them and the finish line. Better yet, stay between them and the favoured end of the line.
Covering is not so difficult when the boats behind you are all going the same way. But when they start splitting up, then the fun begins! Sometimes you can use your wind shadow as a blocker to herd boats in the same direction. If this doesn�t work, one tactical option is to stay in the middle. This way no boats will get a lot of leverage on you. However, the middle is often a bad place to be, and sometimes you�ll get passed by both sides.
A second option is to cover half the boats (and let the other half go). Stick with the boats that are heading toward the side of the course that you think is favoured. This way you will beat at least half the boats behind you, and if you�re good at picking the favoured side, you�ll probably beat everyone.
As you get close to the finish, think harder about protecting the right side so you�ll have the starboard-tack advantage when you approach the line. Set yourself up to finish at the favoured end, and be ready to shoot the line!

SHITHOUSE XI – Festive Period Update
A busy festive period has kept us all ticking over with our fantasy teams and now that we are out the other side, it seems as though it has taken an age to get to gameweek 21. Although the FA cup has kept us all somewhat happy, I know most of you are probably itching to return to the FPL game. The Shithouse XI experienced a strange festive period. These are the point tallies from the last 4 gameweeks.
GAME-WEEK 17
So 149 points from 4 weeks from a team of players that are meant to be justifying their position in the Shithouse XI is not a bad haul at all. If I'm honest, this is only 30 points short of my personal team's tally for the same time period! The highlight for the Shithouse XI came in gameweek 19 where they ranked within the top 46k for that gameweek largely thanks to a full house of clean sheets. At the end of this period, the team sit 7 from the bottom in the @FPL_Updates league, still proving they have what it takes to live up to the Shithouse name.
So, where did we pick up the main points over the 4 weeks?
Green – Robo had a great couple of weeks in gameweeks 18 & 19 with a penalty save against Arsenal's Alexis Sanchez and a clean sheet against Crystal Palace. In the game against Palace, he was also awarded all 3 bonus points and in total over the 4 weeks, he has brought in 22 points, meaning he has averaged just over 5 points a gameweek.
Flamini – Mathieu has had a fairly quiet few weeks as expected, especially as he didn't feature at all against Southampton in gameweek 20, but he did pick up an assist in the -2 draw against Liverpool back in gameweek 17.
Brown – Wes and Sunderland managed to pick up 2 clean sheets out of 4 against Newcastle in gameweek 17 and Aston Villa in gameweek 19. Unfortunately for the team, Wes didn't feature in gameweek 18 and at first glance in FPL, it seems as though he hadn't in gameweek 20. However, thanks to a yellow and conceding 3 goals against City, he finished on 0 points. Wes' point tally for the 4 gameweeks? 12. We can definitely handle an average of 3 points a game…
Davies – Curtis has picked up his game over the last couple gameweeks. Unusually, he picked up all 3 bonus points in gameweek 19 against Leicester, despite losing his clean sheet and Hull not scoring. He also picked up a bonus point in gameweek 20 against Everton, as well as keeping a clean sheet. The last 2 gameweeks means he has an average of 4 points a game over the festive period, nothing to be to displeased about!
Ward – Joel and Crystal Palace have kept 2 clean sheets in 2 over the last couple of gameweeks against Aston Villa in gameweek 20 and QPR in gameweek 19. Thankfully for us, Joel didn't add much else to these points over the festive season as he accumulated just 2 points in total from gameweeks 17 & 18.
Morgan – Thanks to the 1-0 win in gameweek 19 over Hull City, Morgan and Leicester managed to keep a clean sheet, resulting in Wes scoring 6 points. In total over the 4 festive games, Wes only scored 9 points.
Smalling – Chris featured for the full 90 minutes on New Years Day in the 1-1 draw against Stoke and in doing so, managed to pick up 2 bonus points for his troubles. Other than this, he hasn't really featured, only playing 36 minutes in the previous 5 games.
Vardy – Jamie was subject to rotation during the festive games but he did manage to pick up an assist in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool on New Years Day. Over the last 4 gameweeks, including the assist, Vardy has returned just 5 points.
During the last 4 gameweeks, we made one transfer. With Chamakh being ruled out, we brought in Mame Biram Diouf for gameweek 18. It all started so well but we reached gameweek 19 and it all turned a bit sour…
Diouf – Diouf rubbed our noses in it before he heads off to the African Cup of Nations with Senegal by getting himself 2 goals in the win against West Brom. In addition to this, and as you would expect, he picked up all 3 bonus points. In that 1 gameweek alone, he picked up 13 points, but thankfully for us, only picked up 2 points in the gameweek before and the gameweek after.
Although we had these out of the ordinary points scorers, we did have the trusty faithfuls who picked up nothing unusual in terms of points. Our thanks go out to Tomo (Cleverley), N'Zonzi, Wickham, Yellow-card Lee (Cattermole) and good ole' Craig (Gardner) for flying the Shithouse XI flag high. You've done us proud over the last few weeks boys so keep it up!
So, now that you're all caught up, let's see the line-up for gameweek 21…
PLAYER OUT
Diouf – As Diouf is off to the African Cup of Nations with an unknown return date due to not knowing when Senegal will be out of the tournament, we have had to remove him in search of another Shithouser…
PLAYER IN
Weimann – It pains me to say it as I am a big fan of Andreas, but his point scoring of late has not been the greatest. He has not scored more than 2 points since the end of November where he picked up an assist against Burnley and as Villa struggle, this only seems likely to continue. I hate to do it to you Andreas but welcome to the team.
The captain's armband has been handed to Connor Wickham as they face an inconsistent Liverpool. Although they have put in some better performances lately and the team in red wanting to give captain Gerrard the best send-off season possible, you never know what you're going to get with them this season and Sunderland love upsetting the favourites so this should be an interesting choice!

Pistons fire Maurice Cheeks
Sports February 9, 2014February 9, 2014 Chris Kudialis
Maurice Cheeks was fired just 50 games into his first season as Pistons head coach (Photo courtesy of Kim Klement/USA Today)
The Detroit Pistons fired first-year head coach Maurice Cheeks on Sunday morning 50 games into his tenure with the organization. The Pistons are 21-29 on the season, and have won back-to-back games – including a 126-109 victory against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday.
"This was a difficult decision for the organization to make but we needed to make a change," said President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars. "We have great respect for Maurice and appreciate his hard work."
With prized free agent acquisitions Brandon Jennings and Josh Smith, rising stars Andre Drummond and Greg Monroe and key reserves Rodney Stuckey, Kyle Singler and Will Bynum, the Pistons figured to have one of the more talented rosters in a historically weak Eastern Conference. As of Sunday, Detroit stood a half-game out of playoff contention behind the eighth-place Charlotte Bobcats.
"Our record does not reflect our talent and we simply need a change," said Pistons owner Tom Gores. "We have not made the kind of progress that we should have over the first half of the season. This is a young team and we knew there would be growing pains, but we can be patient only as long as there is progress. The responsibility does not fall squarely on any one individual, but right now this change is a necessary step toward turning this thing around. I still have a lot of hope for this season and I expect our players to step up. I respect and appreciate Maurice Cheeks and thank him for his efforts; we just require a different approach."
Detroit now seeks its ninth head coach in Dumars' 14-year tenure as President of Basketball Operations. Multiple sources report assistant coach John Loyer will be named interim coach before Detroit's home game Monday against San Antonio. ESPN.com's Marc Stein is reporting former Memphis Grizzlies' coach Lionel Hollins has also emerged as a potential candidate for the job. Hollins interviewed with the Pistons last summer to join Cheeks' staff as an assistant.

I have received special training in teaching and learning, in communication skills, and in aspects of psychology, all of which inform the ways I work with students / tutees / learners.
My approach is to work alongside learners with the aim of facilitating them to discover and develop their own most suitable strategies and techniques for achieving their goals.
For me, "good learning" is not just about "passing the exam" but also about developing skills which are genuinely enriching to the individual, and useful throughout life. And, "good learning" does not have to be a "hard slog" – it can be "fun" whilst also achieving serious and lasting results.
My main drive is a huge personal curiosity and a desire to explore, develop, and express creativity; to expand my understanding and insight; and to help others to do the same and become full-rounded individuals who contribute to and enrich the lives of others and society in general.
I am very down-to-earth, friendly, open, and approachable. I always take into account the learner's age, experience, starting-level and needs, and am hard-working and adaptable in finding new and appropriate ways to get the required results for each individual.
I regularly ask for detailed feedback on my own performance as an educator, and on the students' experience as learners in order to fine-tune my activities to optimise outcomes.
I "do my homework" each week, too! I am also happy to be available (as appropriate) for brief telephone, e-mail, or e-conferencing consultations between face-to-face sessions to facilitate the learning experience.
First 15 minute consultation is offered free as a condition of using this site.
I love expressing creativity through learning and understanding new things, and strive to excel in sharing insight and in helping others to succeed in all their educational goals.

Another problem with this grid is that authoritarian and libertarian are both loaded terms and not opposites of one another.
Many people take "libertarian" to mean unfettered laissez-faire/neoliberal capitalist economics - which is a fundamentally authoritarian so long as people within those structures depend on wages and insurance plans for survival and are beholden to contracts; a CEO without red tape is therefore no different from a mini-dictator. Anti-authoritarian measures to regulate the power of corporations are also anti-libertarian. Laws which prevent corporate monopolization are also anti-authoritarian and anti-Libertarian.
The opposite of authoritarianism is not libertarianism, it's anarchism.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Historically, "libertarian" was a synonym for anarchism or the libertarian branch of socialism. In most places it is still used that way, and even in the United States where right-wing liberalism has appropriated the "libertarian" label to an extent that older sense is also still used.
The first "libertarian" was Joseph Dejacque an early communist anarchist who used the word to circumvent anti-sedition laws in France which prohibited the use of "anarchist."

I think you completely misunderstood authoritarianism. It says right in the name that it's about authority. Authority comes through a governing body and laws. Corporations are not authorities. However libertarianism can lead to authoritarianism when corporations become powerful enough to replace or usurp any other authority. We're not at that dystopian point yet even though it might feel that way sometimes.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I would disagree with this. Corporations are a sort of authority and the small l libertarians of the US are more authoritarian than they think.
Genocidest 25,000 posts on the gamrConnect forums.

Corporations do not possess the kind of authority that is used to define authoritarianism.
US libertarians or the people who call themselves that are a different breed, it doesn't really matter what those authoritarians want to call themselves. I mean they're also calling themselves patriots and we know that isn't true.
Just like how US liberal democrats are barely centrists instead of the leftists they pretend to be or others call them.
I would say the workplace is a very important part of everyday life for many people so they do have the kind of authority on each of their microscales to be authoritarian. Hell they are authoritarian by virtue of their structure aka owner, board, manager, workers, etc.
Again, not authoritarian by the political definition. This is about politics, not sociology or philosophy.
If you want to take it broader I could even say my hobbies are authoritarian because I would literally die from depression if I didn't have them, so they are commanding me to do them.

I'm libertarian as far as believing that as long as they're not harming anyone people should be able to live their lives the way they wish, but I turn authoritarian once folks start trying to harm others, such as bullying, racism, homophobia, inciting violence, etc. Shut that bullshit down.

Par Meter: How to check it out for use.
Thread: Par Meter: How to check it out for use.
Does a database of PAR values for various light brands that other members of the community have tested for exist?
No one has catalogued par values for fixtures. Companies like Finnex, Current and BML(r.i.p.) provided par values on their websites/forums, but no data has been recorded on Scape. I wouldn't mind compiling data, but my fixtures are limited, additionally par values change based on fixture size. So essentially it would take a lot of various brands of fixtures and a lot of time to create anything of real use.
Attempted to start this. Got shot down.
I hate to point folks to other forums, but if you poke around TPT and Barr Report, it exists.
Can't post memes from work comp... not sure how to handle this without memes.

Q: What does this structure mean: "to be had"?
There was satisfaction to be had in reversing viewpoints.

What does to be had mean in this sentence?

A: Consider these two sentences:

the sailor loves the girl
  the girl is loved.

The first sentence is called active voice- it says who did what to whom. The second sentence is passive voice: note that it doesn't say who is doing something: sometimes this is useful if we don't know, or don't care, or don't want to say who did something.
Moving on to your sentence:

You can have satisfaction in reversing viewpoints
  Satisfaction can be had in reversing viewpoints.

The first of these sentences is an active voice version that expresses the same idea as the one in your question. The second sentence is in passive voice: it eliminates the need to say you, and so it suggests that anybody can have this satisfaction. From here it's a small step, just a matter of literary style, to your sentence:

There was satisfaction to be had in reversing viewpoints

A: JavaLatte has a good explanation of how to reorder the sentence, making it active voice, in order to understand it a different way.
Beside reordering, you could also try replacing the phrase "to be had" with an equivalent word: "available".

The digital world has been a witness to the viral successes of brand videos from various industries. As a result, their audience, especially those consumers they wish to appeal to, are beginning to acknowledge each brand's strengths to the powerful image it portrays in the video.
Heart of a Lio for the Gatorade brand – more than 19 million views.
What made these videos stand out from the crowd? Each is unique on its own, but the end-goal of each brand is the same: to reach out to their audience and send their message across, such that it makes a huge difference in the market's perception of the brand.
Capitalizing on something very basic might make the video more memorable and shareable. Consumers love to be able to relate to the story as it gives them a sense of belongingness.
Experimenting first on an idea and observing the responses of your initial audience. This could pave the way for a more effective video marketing strategy.
Putting a face to the brand has been a time-tested strategy that marketers always include in their plans. Whether you are just starting to establish your brand, or you have already gotten a fair share of the market, a popular and reliable face promoting your brand can add wonders to your sales.
Ads that give "the feels" invoke empathy and a convincing story may influence buying decisions.
Choosing to ad humor to the video, depending on what the brand wants to achieve, can give life to an otherwise mundane day of your viewer. This may result to conversion if properly executed.
The importance of a video script cannot be also ignored. It sets the tone and pace of your ad and identifies how you can focus that spotlight on your product. And make your brand matter. Just the way it should.

Asteroid to fly 'unusually close' to Earth on Thursday
Regan Send an email 6 days agoLast Updated: January 26, 2023
The asteroid will come 10 times closer to Earth than the communications satellites currently in orbit, but NASA insists it has no chance of colliding with Earth.
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida. A truck-sized asteroid will streak past Earth on Thursday evening, one of the closest such impacts ever recorded.
NASA insists it will be a near miss and there is no chance of the asteroid colliding with Earth.
On Wednesday, NASA said the newly discovered asteroid will pass at an altitude of 2,200 miles (3,600 kilometers) over the southern tip of South America. That's 10 times closer than a bunch of communications satellites circling overhead.
The closest approach will occur at 7:27 pm EST (9:27 pm local time).
Even if the space rock were to get close, most of it would burn up in the atmosphere, and some of the larger pieces could possibly fall as meteorites, scientists say.
NASA's collision hazard rating system, called Scout, quickly ruled out a strike, said its developer David Farnocchia, an engineer at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
"But despite very few observations, he was nevertheless able to predict that the asteroid would make an extremely close approach to Earth," Farnokchia said in a statement. "In fact, this is one of the closest known near-Earth objects ever recorded."
The asteroid discovered Saturday, known as 2023 BU, is believed to be between 11 feet (3.5 meters) and 28 feet (8.5 meters) in diameter. It was first noticed by the same Crimean amateur astronomer Gennady Borisov, who discovered the interstellar comet in 2019. Within a few days, astronomers around the world made dozens of observations, which made it possible to refine the asteroid's orbit.
The asteroid's trajectory will change dramatically under the influence of Earth's gravity as soon as it flies by. According to NASA, instead of orbiting the Sun every 359 days, it will move in an oval orbit lasting 425 days.

John Liu Promises To 'Continue To Do The Work Of The Comptroller's Office' [Video]
By Hunter Walker • 02/29/12 10:30pm

Embattled Comptroller John Liu appeared at the Transport Workers Union Local 100 Black History Month celebration in Harlem tonight where he briefly addressed the ongoing investigation into his fundraising that resulted in the arrest of his mayoral campaign treasurer, Jenny Hou, yesterday. During a brief conversation with reporters following his speech at the event, a smiling Mr. Liu said he plans to remain in office in spite of the scandal.
"I'm just past my halfway point of my term as City Comptroller," he said.
Mr. Liu discussed his intention to stay in office after Capital New York's Azi Paybarah asked him about City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's rather noncommittal response to the question of whether Mr. Liu can continue on as an effective comptroller.
"That's a question that Comptroller Liu is going to have to answer," Ms. Quinn said
Mr. Liu said he's been doing his job "vigorously" and has no intention of slowing down.
"I've been doing my job vigorously. We're going to continue to go after waste in city spending, we're going to audit city agencies to maximize the effectiveness of taxpayer's dollars, invest the pension assets and access the capital markets to underwrite our bonds and continue to do the work of the comptroller's office. And it's a privilege to be in this office."
Ms. Hou is the second person arrested in conjunction with the investigation into Mr. Liu's fundraising. His donor Xing Wu "Oliver" Pan was arrested in November. Both are accused of participating in a scheme to use straw donors to funnel illegal contributions to Mr. Liu's campaign committee. Prior to the scandal, Mr. Liu was widely expected to run for mayor in 2013. Yesterday, he admitted he is reconsidering his mayoral ambitions.
The Politicker asked Mr. Liu about reports his aide, Mei Hua Ru, who recruited the 25-year-old Ms. Hou to be his campaign treasurer, was the primary conduit between his campaign and his donors. He declined to comment.
"You'd have to show me what you are talking about. Thank you," Mr. Liu said before walking away.

Northland company fined after worker loses part of finger in unguarded pressing machine
A Northland company has been fined for safety failings after a worker lost part of his finger in a workplace incident in June 2021.
On Thursday, the Whangārei District Court ordered the company to pay a fine of $220,000 and $31,000 in reparations following the incident.
WorkSafe said the man's finger was partially amputated after his hand slipped into a pressing machine, and he was unable to work for two months.
WorkSafe's area investigation manager, Danielle Henry said, "This machine was not fitted with any observable safety devices whatsoever."
"It was possible to have physical guards and safety sensors installed on the machine, which would have protected the workers using it."
Read the full story on the WorkSafe NZ website.

Ben Affleck is Batman you deserve, but not the one you need.
How does this reduce that chance? Surely it's more likely now.
1+1+1=2
I think Ben Affleck is a great choice of course he wasn`t my number one pick that being michael fassbender. Ben is a great director and no doubt his directorial inspiration will only add to the new movie. I know he can pull of a Bruce Wayne , but Im a little worried how he will do batman. How his version of batman will be.
*cough*daredevil*cough* That and all I can picture right now for the new Batman is an ADHD duck that sounds like Gilbert Godfrey...
You know when Hugh Jackman was cast as Wolverine there was a large fan backlash. The same with Micheal Keaton as Batman, Christian Bale as Batman and evenHeath Ledger as Joker. All of those actors have done justice to the original characters.
Also I find it hard to blame the failed of Daredevil on Affleck, everything in that movie was bad. Plus I wouldn't Base Afflects career on Daredevil, watch Argo and some of the films he's personally directed. He's a great actor and Director. Even if he's bad in this film it wouldn't hinder the chance of Justice League. They would easily just recast the role. If anything Justice League is more dependent on Wonderwoman, Flash, Aquaman, Green Lantern and who ever they want as a seventh member (Cyborg, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter). If DC can't get the majority of the JL represented in their own franchises then its doubtful that Justice League will happen.
Argo is a farce, heck, Zero Dark Thirty is likely more accurate historically than Argo! I just don't see Affleck as Batman. Maybe as 'Bruce Wayne the egotistical jerk' sure, but not as either 'Batman the detective-genius' or as the darker 'Ragechild Batman with a grudge'...

Yeah, I try and think that way, but keep failing. Hugh Jackman was frowned apron because he was almost unknown and cast at the last minute. Michael Keaton there was backlash because at that time all he was known for was comedy. He had never been seen in a weightier role. Ledger was backlash mainly because it was unknown and very different than Nicholson's more classic take. Yes all of them proved us wrong. But there was a large amount of unknown there.
The problem is Ben Affleck is not an unknown. He is very much a well known quantity. So well known that the Ben Affleck persona tends to overshadow the role that he plays. Much like Tom Cruise or Will Smith. He comes off great in parts that he directs, or in parts created specifically with him in mind, because the roles are basically designed to put Ben Affleck on screen. But Batman is not that sort of role. Batman was not created for Ben Affleck. Historically when Ben gets that type of role he tends to be awful. And these days I fear we will not be able to actually see Batman, because we will have Ben Affleck standing in front of him. (Sigh! Was Karl Urban unavailable?)
Urban most likely was busy for a while, One of the Star Trek cast members ( forget who ). Said that Star Trek 3 will be shot next year. Plus Dredd is said to be having a sequel as it did really well on DVD.
I still think its too quick too judge, they haven't even started shooting the film yet. We still don't know who the villain is, who's playing Alfred, Gordon or if theirs going to be other Bat family members involved.
Sure Affleck has had a few shitty films, but I've never seen him as the cause of all of a films problems. Armageddon and Pearl Harbor aren't great films, but I think that's more down to Micheal Bay than anyone. Plus since both of those films Affleck has had much more experience in Acting. Daredevil was awful but again, not purely Afflecks fault. The whole cast was bad and the story wasn't great.
If this film is terrible I doubt it will be down to Affleck. If anything it will be because of WB rushing towards a shared universe. I still think that Superman should have a normal sequel, and Batman should have another solo outing. Also Zack Snyder is great with action but not with story. Plus if WB want a fresh start why have Nolan produce and Goyer write, get rid of them both for a start. Also no Joker, reference him but he doesn't need to be in this film.
Besides can Ben really be as bad as Kilmer, Clooney or West at being Batman?
Also in regards to the other comment Historical accuracy doesn't determine whether a film is good or bad. Look at Inglorious Bastards.

Well, rumors abound that Bryan Cranston has signed a contract to appear as Lex Luthor in multiple films starting with this one, so maybe it's him.
Honestly, I don't see what all the fuss is about. Man of Steel was already an excruciating experience, at least for me (and nearly everyone I know not-online who saw it), and it's not like the sequel is driven by Affleck anyhow. If it was a solo outing, maybe there could be a tiny cause for concern as Affleck did used to give fairly dull performances early on in his career. As it is now, there's really no way to know how it will be before it comes out. If it's got the same level of stupidity as Man of Steel, even the greatest performance of Bruce Wayne/Batman in the world wouldn't be able to save it.
I have no idea if Henry Cavill was any good as Superman since the story was so mangled and he was given so little to actually do, but the sequel could still be tolerable.
There is a rumor that timothy dalton may play alfred in the movie.

I hope not... unless the Alfred we're getting is the complete inverse of every one that came before.
BrickRally217
We've all heard the opinions of those hard-core fans, but what do you guys think? It was recently announced that Josh Brolin almost got the part, and he is happy for Affleck. Even Hugh Jackman says he'd be good. I mean c'mon! If Wolverine approves, then we approve too, right!
TheStrategist
. This Video. Haha just kidding. I don;t really have a problem with it. I think he should at least get the benefit of the doubt. The only reason people really lynched on to Bale was because he was the first actor to make a really, really good batman film. And now everyone thinks the only place we can go from there is down.
Regardless what people think, this doesn't need to be it's own topic since we already have more general ones discussing the topic. Will merge soon… and done.

I've recently been rereading my Showcase Presents: Batman books just for the hell of it, and I have to ask: are there any Silver Age fans around here?
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely prefer the tortured avenger crying out for Mommy and Daddy interpretation, and I think the Nolan films are the highest watermark of Bat-filmmaking, but goddamn if there isn't something just so great about the campy over-the-top nature of the Silver Age.
Anyone with me? Any fans of Batman '66? Batman: The Brave and the Bold?

I agree wholeheartedly with you Pengy!
The problem with BBB for me me is that it is cheesy for the sake of cheesyness itself, if I may say so. It lacks a certain charm for me and I can hardly imagine who would be a great fan of the show. Either it is a hardcore fan of old comics or a kid who just likes the fun and action of the show. Practically each episode makes reference to old comics or some inside fan jokes, which can hardly be appreciated by fans of a younger generation (like myself).
I am looking forward to watching the new series. I hope they'll return Batman to his Hamlet-esque world. Which can hardly be the case with Mr. Toad around!

You've rather hit the nail on the head, Pengy. I'm a connoisseur of Batman comics from all ages and possess (as I've said) multiple Showcase books collecting old Silver Age tales, as well as multiple volumes of the Batman Chronicles series, which collects Golden Age Tales.
Point is, I'd probably fit your definition of "hardcore", and one of the main things I love about B:TBATB is the ridiculously obscure inside jokes. The show is a hardcore geekfest, and the team-up format allows it to give obscure characters (some who have never before seen the light of television and possibly never will again) a day in the limelight. There is absolutely no way we ever would have seen Bat-Mite or Woozy Winks on Justice League.
I can certainly see where a less immersive fan might find it difficult to enjoy the show, but I like it.
And of course, John DiMaggio's Aquaman is always a blast.

To Coerce Daughter Return Home From Abroad:
Traditional Ruler Intensifies Search For Runaway Wife, Granddaughter
Mrs-Nchege-Ntuke-Kang-Victorine-And-Her-granddaughter-Annie-El-Frid-Ducclair-Ndisang
By Wilson Nana
A traditional ruler, who also doubles a gendarmerie officer with the rank of Major, Chief Ndogge Kang David, has intensified the search for his wife, Nchege Ntuke Kang Victorine, and granddaughter, Annie El-Frid Ducclair Ndisang, who reportedly ran away since 2019.
Chief Ndogge's wife is reported to have in 2019 escaped with Annie El-Frid Ducclair Ndisang to an unknown destination.
Chief-Major-Ndogge-Kang-David-Talking-To-Journalists
According to Chief Ndogge Kang David, Annie El-Frid Ducclair Ndisang's father, Mark Valery Ducclair Tenkeum, is on the list of those practicing homosexuality, which is illegal in Cameroon. Mark Valery Ducclair Tenkeum is said to have deceitfully married Chief Kang's daughter, Mponge Kang Becherine, and escaped with her to Sweden.
In an interview with journalists, Ndogge Kang David expressed his grievances and intention of the search of his wife and especially his granddaughter, Annie El-Frid Ducclair Ndisang, is to use her as a bait to force his daughter, Mponge Kang Becherine, to travel back home to Cameroon.
It is understood that Chief Kang wants that if he lays hands on his granddaughter, his daughter and her newborn son will be forced to come home from Sweden.
Once home, a spiritual and traditional cleansing will be forcefully performed on Mponge Kang Becherine because she was deceitfully married by a man living in Sweden, who has been confirmed by the state as a homosexual. The spiritual and traditional cleansing Ndogge Kang David intends to perform on his daughter is due to the fact that homosexuality is considered in their village as a sacrilege and so being married to a homosexual Mponge Kang Bercherine desecrated the customs and traditions of the village and thus needs to be cleansed or maybe killed alongside her children by the villagers for committing such an abominable act of getting married to a homosexual.
Meanwhile, Ndogge Kang David has gone further to put out an offer of Fcfa 2 million to whoever exposes the whereabouts or hiding place of his wife and the child in question.
It should be noted that homosexuality is illegal in Cameroon and culprits can be punished with jail terms ranging from six months to five years, with a fine of 20,000 to 200,000 FCFA, according to Section 347 of the Penal Code.
Meanwhile, despite being illegal, homosexual activities are still on the rise in the country and police and gendarmes have stepped up efforts to clamp down on this.
Rights groups say Cameroon has prosecuted more gay, lesbian and bisexual residents than any other country in sub-Saharan Africa.
This was the case in May 2005 when 11 men were arrested at a nightclub in Yaounde on suspicion of sodomy, and the government threatened to conduct medical examinations to "prove" their homosexual activity.
Many other alleged homosexuals have been arrested and detained under Section 347 of the Penal Code.
One of these, Jean-Claude Roger Mbede, was arrested by security forces for sending love SMS messages to a male acquaintance and sentenced to three years' imprisonment at the Kondengui Central Prison in Yaounde.
The sentence was protested by international human rights organisations including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, the latter of which named him a prisoner of conscience. Mbede later died in prison.
He had not received medical treatment for a month before he died, activists said.
In November 2011, a Cameroonian court convicted two young men, Jonas Kimie and Franky Ndome, who had been arrested for homosexuality outside a nightclub, based solely on their appearance and behaviour, to five years imprisonment.
In July 2013, prominent Cameroonian gay rights activist and journalist, Eric Lembembe, was found murdered in his house in Yaounde. Lembembe's neck and feet appeared to have been broken and his face, hands, and feet burned with an iron, Human Rights Watch had said.
It should be recalled that the offices of a human rights activist, who fights for homosexual rights, Barrister Alice Nkom, were also years back ransacked by unknown assailants.
Most homosexuals in Cameroon believe their lives are constantly in danger as they are continuously being persecuted not only by security operatives but also by the public and sometimes their own family members.
