End of Day: Reviewing Exterior Dallies
Well, we've got we have set up we shot with the red so the easiest way for us tow watch our dailies and check stuff out is with red sitting pro exits the proprietary software that red has tio tio deal with the our three d footage so and we've we've loaded in all of our takes they're all on on our computer back in the control room so so well we'll see how this plays back so ben if you wouldn't mind let's just roll this is the this is take three of our first set up from this morning which is seen one and let's see it seems like we've zoomed in a little bit no no that's good we got past the all the viewer windows so here is here is to take and I can already see there's you know as we're framing up we're waiting I would you know we haven't really done that much color correction to it it's just you know this is basically the straight off the you know straight out of the camera look but just gives it it'll give us a sense and I'm looking for things like focus I'm looking that the operating a...
smooth and that you know that there is not nothing that's weird happening in the background we're in such a wide shot there there was no there was no way for us to put any light in but you can see in in lexus space there's still plenty of detail there's still some detail in the sky you know with with a little work in the in the color correction we could bring a little bit more saturation into the sky and you know bring you know maybe give a use a power window on his face toe to bring that up a little bit but it's really not necessary it seems you know not necessary to do too much it seems like we're kind of right in the mood of the scene and so this is what could potentially be the last the last shot of the movie at she'll bend down write her name in the notebook it might have started that move a little early and this is where we figure stuff out during the course of the production but that way if we had started a little bit later we'd still have some of the move at the end here but live and learn so so that was good I think I'm you know I'm not quite sure what what comments I would have but this is you know, the the the actual process of dailies is everybody kind of gets the way and so jessica how how are you feeling about that? Was there anything that stood out to you anything that you without the picky I think is what this all about it's all about the details I think it was definitely more timing but that's nothing of your fault or the actor's fault sorry buddy I'm just timing of actions I noticed that we have the bag in this scene that we didn't have it in the first seem right no interesting yeah, we should have had it somewhere in the office, right? Yeah that's what happens like when you know shooting scenes out of order normally you'd have, you know, a props person there who would say, do we need this prop in the in the previous scene or not? And you know, if we do, where should we put it all that kind of stuff? The good news is in you know, in the script we never saw this part, but in the script we never see alex and hope leave the room and we never see them, you know? We kind of we would see them arrive on the roof, but we don't know if he picked up the bag on the way out of the office. He couldn't there's time in between those two places where he could have got in the bag. So but that's a good detail that's that you know and it is like all of those details are important and you'd be surprised how many times you know, even on the biggest movie, those details get missed but you want to you want to stay on top of all of them yeah for my my criticism I feel like I feel like we could have started the dollar move a little bit later like as I realize how this would cut into the scene you know, I wish now that that that we had started in a little later all right, so ben what's the next thing is seen to and was take one the only take that we did of that um yes, I think so. So let's take a look at that and so this is with no color correction at all we did you know, about two seconds of correction there this is a little bit cooler than I would I wouldn't want it to be but seems like it will you know, for the purposes of watching dailies part of it is you try to get the colors to go is close to your intention is you can so people get used to it so here we can see that we did get a little bit of lighting on lexis base the colors are a little bit off but it's totally within the range of what we can correct um I kind of wish we had the controls to correct it here but the same time it shouldn't turn into a color correction seminar so that seems like it worked out fine we still have a little bit of the dollar move left it and and I you know, we could have maybe gotten in a hair faster there, but let's, see, here it is this the same take again? I think it is. Yeah, it just looped around so bad. Why don't we go to the go to the next take and set that up? How how did you guys all feel about about that one seemed like it. It worked was in focus, you know, say, ben, I'm sorry. Go back to that last. Go back that last set up. Thanks. And if you could just just roll into part of the shot where he's in the frame. All right, so we are this stop. There was foreign a third. And just so that you get a sense that this is this is with a twenty eight millimeter wins. So you get a sense of what the depth of field is like if we had gone much shallower, I feel like the background would have just gone completely out of focus, you know, but here you are, it's soft enough that you that you get a sense of the depth that you get this separation between lex and the background. But it's not so soft that the city itself is unrecognizable that is just out of focus, blur and that's. So somewhere between two, eight and five six for me for most kind of normal lenses once you get into super telephoto lenses, that kind of stuff but you know, all bets are off you don't get in depth the field but you know, for the lenses between, say, eighteen and fifty millimeters the you know that range I try to keep the stops in that range is where the lens is performed best and also for me it feels the most natural in terms of the depth of field unless you know, unless I'm going for some kind of an extreme look where I you know, you only want one person you know, one eye and focused that kind of thing and, you know, you want to draw attention to the fact that you're using shallow depth of field that's you know, that's a different thing but kind of for you, you know? And so it's taste it's all taste is my taste, you know that I I don't like to see where things air inter out in and out of focus on an actor space, you know? And you know, in most shots I feel like it's drawing too much attention to the photography that takes too much attention away from the actor okay, sorry ben so now let's go to the go to the next thing and let's see what we've got I can't remember but here we go. I want to help this cot slated to eh but it's it's basically the same shot of and we dolly just a little bit later yeah, yeah, but here you can see he's got light in his eyes there you know there's some shape on his space but it's not it's not too extreme and that little bit of sun that's coming around like we kind that we caught the son angle really nicely it's like combination of planning and good block that you know what the daylight was giving us was was you know, something that we could use right? So ben let's jump onto uh to be pleased and I think the last take is bore you have take for in there somewhere reminder gym we had had this like I changed the yeah okay that's what it was yeah, the first one was a miss slate that's right? Thank you. All right, do we have my my little note here says that therefore takes a to b but if we've got one that sees that um yeah, because this was this was the first remember we way kind of worked long and hard but let's see what we what we find about this that is you can actually read that here it's not not great, but you can definitely cia yeah that was I feel like we did get it better in the in the later takes but is there can you I'm not sure whether you can look in there that if they're somewhere else um let's take three take we did of this shot okay yeah there I'm pretty sure there wasnt take poor but this this works the timing was better with the pullback death walks out okay great. So that's also a you know a possible ending for the movie I I feel like going from that little move back to the wide shot of her you know from that first set up might be good to um all right cool so yeah there it is this year's take for a reason I know this stuff is got some camera reports we kept notes um yeah so for this the one thing I would probably do in the final color correction is you know, a little bit of ah a little bit more open in the mid tones it gets a little dark and you know the sky was getting a little bit overcast a little hazy so we lost some of the blue and there and maybe there's a way to bring some of that in but yeah I overall the image would probably we warm it up a little bit but great it's like that that's the thing about watching dailies like you do they're too they're too things like you we haven't color corrected this at all you have to kind of be aware that there's a lot of room to move in color correction and when you do when you do have called corrective dailies you want to make sure that you've got somebody working on it who's who's like working working towards the same end that you are that you know that you've got you've given them notes that you've gone through a process usually during the testing of the first day or two I'll go in and visit with the colorist and sit down with him so that I've talked through what I'm looking for how I wanted to look and then he can from there he'll take it with you very little shorthand and make it look good but what happens? The director and the editor all fall in love with how the dailies look usually and said, if you if you give them something that's not what you like and then when you get to the final color correction you try to change it it can often be really difficulty so it's good to try to get them to work with the colors to get them close close as you can we didn't have obviously there was no time in the fifteen minute break toe make that to do the color correction here but that's what what I would do so why don't we check out the the next next little bit yeah lisa um I was wondering if you have some sort of thought pattern behind your camera movement especially when you were following her and the reason I mainly ask us because you see it and all of a lot of very um beginner filmmakers um usually they lose the actor before um they can pan over we're actually like they're not following the actor very well. So do you have a thought pattern behind them? You mean when I'm when I'm panning when you're following the character teo keep him in frame it's I guess that's a good question there's there's a certain amount of it there's just practice and you know and a certain amount of it that is your body will do that stuff without you thinking about it and the hard part is tio tio basically let yourself do it without a soon as you start thinking you're your brain is much slower than your body is that's that's the only way I can explain it so you have to you kind of have to be ready for what's gonna happen and and now what's gonna happen in advance and then you have to get out of your own way on dh and let your mind take over it's just like, you know it's like a hunter shooting a bird where it's flying through the air and you know you have to you're you're not only calculating where that bird's going to go you're thinking about its path you're thinking about how long it's going to take the bullet to get there all of that stuff and it happens you know like that without your brain having to get involved and your conscious brain so yeah it's it's so there's a definitely um there there's the most of my thinking is you know make I definitely like try to rehearse it a little bit beforehand to make sure that everything's gonna happen the way it's expected and then I just know that my instincts take over you know in one of the early takes of that today like she stood up out of frame my operating was terrible it was because I was busy thinking about like some other stuff and not just kind of letting my consciousness be on you know on uh daisy in the frame and so that's and I guess the only way you get there is just to practice it you know, people standing up and sitting down like I think that was the two hardest things you know for operators and you know you can you can practice it you can go home and you know get your friends to stand up and sit down a bunch of times that's it really is just just about that so all right let's let's roll on this ben you got it and so again this is no basically no color correction and there's I feel like we could have okay, we could have um we could bring the shadows down and this a little bit more but there's plenty of shadow detail there and there's also in the if we were to switch off there's like a standard lot that we're looking at now if we were to switch that off which I'm not sure we can you can see that there is a detail on the table like all of that stuff is there and you know so we can use power windows to bring it back in and you know, save ourselves from having to do a lot of lighting and some people will say that using using power windows that you know which is the ability to it's you can basically select a little area of the frame they can make any kind of shape you want out of it it can be tracked so if the camera moves you could move it with it and you can make part of the frame lighter darker you know changed change the colors of things you can pick one color and change it a different color. There are a lot of tools in post production and some will say that it's cheating but you know me coming from the still photography background I feel like movies have finally caught up to what I could do in the darkroom you know in nineteen eighty and I'm really happy for you I'm really happy for that like any of the tools of anybody's if you're familiar with photo shop any of the tools that you have a photo shop you can now use with movies so so that's you know in terms of this what I might have them do we bring the shadow's shadow levels down a little bit make it just a little darker under there, andi I probably would would make a window to darken the top of the frame and maybe the edge of the frame just a little bit just a little bit of a vignette and it would be that would be difficult to do in the camera but it's very easy to do in post production and so you've got these tools you should just use them I'm not a purist at all I'm very much about what's the what's the fastest way and the easiest way to get something that you want and, you know, like any of the standard color correct er's couldn't do this stuff very easily including I think that, you know, like the free divinci software and your there's you know, they all have power power windows capability all right then why don't we jump ahead to the next the next set up see what we've got there here's our big reflection shot so just when you could notice when when the focus was on the tea kettle when it was close on the slate, you could tell what all this stuff wass but once you focus on him and that the audiences attention is drawn to him you know, you really have to you have to sit there and think what is that a reflection off way just did that with a bunch of junk that we had hanging around it wasn't like nothing fancy I thought at first that having some some light area in there would kind of break things up and make you know, make people think it was another wall or something like that but I was kind of wrong um I'm not afraid to admit it um I think that's like and that is the other sort of lesson toe toe pull out of this like you you know, when you're doing this stuff, you try something if it doesn't work, the best thing you can do at that moment is say I you know, I tried something but it didn't work so we try something else and, you know, sorry guys, but you're gonna have to do it again you have to do it even one more time one key grip that I knew said yeah, we haven't let it three times, so I know we're not done yet I took that as a compliment I was happy I've been why don't we wait? We jump to the next one it feels like we're coming up to the end of our time and I you know I'd like to throw it open to questions to on the internet if that's if that's good in studio as well in studio too but like like we're at the end here so if there's anything that burns and screams to be known that I could tell you about I'm happy to do it so like throw out your questions it relates to the first shot of the day yeah okay cool yeah it can have nothing to do with anything that were coming here not really a question maybe maybe to get your thought on it um which worked really great uh related to the story on how with the camera but with the characters um for example when when the uh what was the characters named dan? Yes. Then when dan when they first walk out to the to the rooftop and he's very he's kind of holding back to agreeing with her or following her he's kind of like the main piece like he's yeah he's towering over her in that shot and then once he kind of agrees and kind of falls for her charm or whatever but then she kind of turns into the killer or the more powerful director in the shop and then once once they kind of get close to both dying they get on the same level because she's death and he's dying so I kind of like to get a parallel there that's cool so I thought that was a well done yeah, thank you. Yeah there's like yeah I was definitely thinking about why you I was thinking about why why's the character trying to do this and you know it'll it'll happen or what is the character trying to do it at this moment and you know, it happens with you know, between the director and the actors to when they're working at the blocking but kind of in the in this situation I like jumped into that role a little bit and yeah, it is that it's a sort of it's definitely the sort of thing as a dp if you're paying attention to what actors and directors air thinking and why they're doing it you khun come you know, come with suggestions about how to frame things and how to shoot things especially for the directors that are more you know, more verbally oriented than you know rather than visually oriented and who think about you know you think about the performance and it's not that there's anyone right way or wrong way to do it but you know certain different people definitely think about performances in different ways and you know and you know as a dp you khun you can compliment the especially the directors that you know that tend to think more verbally and they will be able to tell you what the you know I'll tell you the adjective about the scene this person is supposed to be sad this person's supposed to be happy you know they're supposed to be tentative and and you can try to turn that you can translate that into some sort of camera movement or you know, some sort of blocking and you know and so it like from in that sense I was definitely looking at this script and saying all right when does he move why does he move what's the you know and how can we kind of helped that with with what our cameras doing so yeah thank you yes today we've talked about how to work and sticks and dolly can you please talk about how dio set of you work for on the complicated shots like crane shot steadicam shots handheld shots so yeah like it's the one thing the brief thing that I say about it is that you know, having having some idea of what you're trying to do with the crane like why you have it there in the first place is you know is key and it's you know even if it's just for like I want we're doing a concert seeing we want tohave it swinging over their heads for you know, over the audience had for visual excitement that like just that is good, but the hard part when you're trying to use it in the narrative in a narrative context, is you well, I just want to get a high angle shot and, you know, but all the action is kind of happening down at ground level and you end up like, spending a lot of time clearing things out, lighting a big shot that, you know, emotionally doesn't play into the into the scene, and so I feel like anytime you use that kind of that kind of piece of equipment like ukraine, you're making an emotional statement you're saying something about the scene and I feel like you should be able to articulate why you're putting it there, you know, the swinging over their heads and a constant scene it's, it's, eye candy and that's a perfectly valid thing it's great, but but, you know, in a dramatic scene, you you feel like you should be ableto say why you want to use it that's that's, the short crane workshop. So I'll go any to you in just a second, a great one from our sorry, our internet audience and I guess if you out there, if you have more questions, feel free to put them into the ask function, but this one just came in a second ago how did you decide you are going to be a director of photography? Have you ever considered directing how much of an execution a ll roll rather than creative? Do you reckon directory directing of photography is as opposed to directing that's a good question um everyone some wild somebody will ask me if I've thought about directing and you know, it's interesting I'm curious about it it's it's a completely other different thing than than what I do and although I you know never saying never like when you know when I was a little kid being a director wasn't what I wanted to do being a photographer was what I want to do you know they're pictures of me you know, our pictures I've taken when I was seven years old that I still really like and that's you know, so I'm really happy and you know and what I'm doing right now and uh you know, I feel like making it making the transition to being a director first of all it's going to be you know, it is a big transition it's not something being a director is not something that somebody promote you to either and but the other the other the real reason is that I really like my job that's you know, I feel like I still have something to learn in and I still have something to say with it so um yeah, that's, I'm not in any rush to be a director. This might be a totally different classes. Well, so we use the red camera for the three days for like the novice the beginner who can shoot with iphone or any type of camera start independent there's somewhere software out there. But what would you recommend for someone doesn't know that saying, for example, is washing this and what would they use to edit what would be a good start? I guess. I mean, you know, my movie that's, you know, movie works great it's you know, it comes with your computer. You don't have to spend any money. You can sit there and play with it. It's got, you know, you can make all the basic cuts change sound, you know? And you think about all of the stuff that people do that you know, all the like. Now you can do professional level stuff on your on your computer with your iphone or, you know, like, stuff that looks really good without having to spend a lot of money. And I think that that's, like the the gear is not what does it like? I know that it's important to know have, you know, like, the reason why we have expensive equipment is to get the highest quality picture, but that and, you know you want that, but at the same time, if that's going to stop you, the lack of that is going to stop you from actually creating something you need to create it with whatever you got, you know? And if you can afford to buy something great, go out and buy it. But if what you have is, you know, you're handy cam and I movie make it with that you make your project on dh, you know, and then you know, you'll learn something you'll get better the next time, and you know it. And if the project you make is great people, people tend to look past the technical shortfalls of things if what you've got, if the project that you've made is really compelling, somehow, I would love you to give the people out there in studio audience like your last final thoughts call to action, go forth and conquer, you've done it. We've seen your work. What's your final advice. Yeah, I think I actually feel like that was the perfect lead up question. Because it's like there's. No excuse not to go out and shoot great stuff now, there's. No. You know, like, all the means for production have gotten so easy and so affordable and you know you can. You can shoot things with very inexpensive cameras that rival, you know, professional, you know, very expensive cameras. You can add it in your computer with software that usually comes with it for free, and almost everybody has a computer. It's. You know, it's, like the best thing I can say is, go shoot stuff, that's and, you know, find. Find a friend who wants to be a director or be a director yourself and go shoot it. Yeah, that's, that's my pitch.

No Products in the Cart
For most people, smell memories can be extremely vivid and transporting. The smell of fresh-cut grass can strongly recall a childhood summer. Pipe smoke can remind you of your grandfather; fresh-baked bread can reflect a bright and sunny morning on a family holiday.
Whatever the specific smell, we all know this feeling of being reminded of someone, something, or someplace when confronted with a particular scent. But what is especially interesting about this process is how much stronger scent is at recalling memories than other senses.
In many circles, this phenomenon is called the Proust Effect. The reason for this name is Marcel Proust's series the "À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu". Among the seven volumes published in the early 20th century, Proust recalls a moment when he sat down to eat a madeleine cake. Suddenly, a "shudder" runs through him as he experiences an involuntary childhood memory about his aunt's house.
Throughout "À La Recherche Du Temps Perdu," Proust recalls autobiographical memories intertwined with scent. Often, he highlights the geographical connection of the smell in detail.
Over the years, many different pieces of scientific research have tried to get at this problem.
A scent is a chemical that enters the nose and reacts with the olfactory bulbs. It is here that they are first transformed into a sensation that the brain can decode. From that interaction, the scent is then carried to the amygdala (emotional) and then the hippocampus. (memory)
Interestingly, according to Rutgers University's John McGann, a psychology professor, smells are the only sensations that travel directly to the amygdala and the hippocampus.
McGann notes that all other senses travel to the thalamus, which acts as a switchboard. From there, sensory information is sent to the appropriate regions. However, scent bypasses the thalamus.
According to McGann, scent can reach the emotional and memory parts of the brain in a synapse or two. Most interestingly, scent can recall memories that would otherwise be impossible to retrieve. For many, this is its magic.
Recent research performed by Christina Zelano from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has proved very interesting. She and her team used intracranial electrophysiology and neuroimaging to help with the question.
For years neuroscientists have known that the limbic systems are the region of the brain most responsible for memory and emotion. Indeed, one particular part of the limbic system, the hippocampus, seems to be the strongest.
While highly complex, we can still split the brain into three layers that were, in effect, built on top of each other.
#1: Reptilian Brain: Instinctual Brain
#2: Limbic Brain: The Emotional or Feeling Brain
#3: Neocortex: The Rational or Thinking Brain.
As Zelano explains in the paper, humans experienced an incredible expansion of the neocortex at one point in our evolution.
This caused a vast re-organizing or re-wiring of access to our memory networks. As our brains became larger, the scents were re-routed — except for one: smell.
Smell remained directly connected to the hippocampus (the emotional region). While vision, hearing, and touch still connect to the hippocampus, it is through an intermediary association.
This backs up the earlier findings by John McGann and provides a concrete reason why smell can affect us like no other sense.
The information is fascinating in its own right; however, it is most instructive in demonstrating how smell affects our lives and personal wellbeing.
Indeed, there's an increasing body of research that links olfaction and depression.
A study from 2016 concluded that patients suffering from depression have a reduced sense of smell. Indeed, this research might lead to new thinking about how to treat the problem of happiness.
A recent article in Horizon magazine talked about something that perfume lovers have understood for a long time: the idea that manufacturers could put happiness in a bottle.
Alex Whiting has talked about using chemosignals to create scents to help people feel happy or alleviate fear. However, these chemicals are often odorless and would be more about feeling great than smelling great.
The simple conclusion is that scents can help elevate our mood and recall rich memories. People have known this for years as represented by their love of flowers and perfume.
When we understand the power of scent, we can begin to use it for several benefits—scented candles and fragrances in our home can lead to creating a happier environment.
Of course, the most powerful of all is how we can apply perfume to evoke emotions and memories, both for ourselves and others.

KEIR RADNEDGE in COSTA DO SAUIPE: The imminence of Friday’s World Cup draw means that Brazil is able to thumb its organisational nose at FIFA’s insistence that all 12 stadia must be delivered by December 31.
Jerome Valcke, the world federation’s secretry-genera who is World Cup progress-chaser-in-chief, had warned all along that the venues across the length and breadth of the semi-continent had to be ready by the end of the year because of the amount of tournament-specific furnishing.
He has now conceded that this battle had been lost but there was nothing, so late in the day, that FIFA can do about it.
Corners have been cut over solar power for the venue in MAnaus while the arenas at Sao Paulo, Curitiba and Cuiaba will not be ready by the end of the year. Indeed, Valcke indicated that Curitiba and Cuiaba were not expected to be ready until February, just four months before the World Cup kicks off.
A date has still to be set for the Itaquera in Sao Paulo after damage caused when a crane lifting a roof section collapsed last week with the death of two construction workers.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter said on Tuesday that Sao Paulo “will be ready” and added: “We have just received a report. There are some small delays in construction of stadia. But so small that with one exception [Sao Paulo] we can say everything is ready.”
However Valcke indicated that Curitiba, the most-delayed vene, would not be ready until the end of February.
He said: “Curitiba is the one where we are facing the most problems and won’t be delivered before the end of February 2014. We will be ready to get the stadium by the end of February 2014.”

Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick is an active target of Democrats in 2024, but now he’s drawn a primary challenge from the right.
First-time candidate Mark Houck is an anti-abortion activist who filed paperwork to run in Pennsylvania’s 1st congressional district on Thursday. Houck was recently acquitted of criminal charges after an altercation with an abortion clinic escort outside of a healthcare clinic, and told a local radio host last week that he doesn’t support abortion access or exceptions for rape and incest.
His entry into the race sets up a potentially messy primary — one with a focus on abortion rights — between a conservative activist and one of the most bipartisan members of Congress in a swing seat that the GOP must win in November to try to hold onto a majority in Congress. Fitzpatrick is one of 18 Republicans who represents a district that Democratic President Joe Biden won in 2020.
“I believe that those exceptions are not exceptions at all: When it comes to rape, incest and life of the mother, you know, my faith informs me on some of that. But let me say rape and incest, look, the child does not commit the crime,” Houck said on 1210 WPHT radio station.
“The child doesn’t deserve the death penalty, and the reality of it is, we are further victimizing the mother. And, so, once we start recognizing that, we’ll realize that rape and incest is not a good excuse to terminate a human being,” he said.
Though the GOP base tends to be much more likely to oppose abortion access, that stance can be toxic in general elections. Abortion is widely credited with swinging key races in the midterms, including in Pennsylvania, where now-Gov. Josh Shapiro and now-Sen. John Fetterman also won Fitzpatrick’s district in 2022.
Radio host Dom Giordano interrupted Houck to say he didn’t think that opposing abortion access would win over voters in Bucks County, a swing county that makes up a majority of the congressional district.
A spokesperson for the Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, said they don’t think abortion will be the decisive issue in Fitzpatrick’s primary and pointed to the incumbent’s past electoral success.
Fitzpatrick has fended off challenges from his right flank before. And last cycle he won about two-thirds of the vote against his primary challenger and then 54 percent of the vote in the general election.
The National Republican Congressional Committee plans to spend on the incumbent’s behalf, including in a primary race, if necessary.
But even as a longshot candidate, Houck will help Democratic opposition say that the GOP is extreme when it comes to abortion access. Democrats successfully highlighted restrictive abortion positions held by GOP candidates in the midterms, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has already pledged to make abortion a top campaign issue in 2024.
The first-time candidate already has a track record as a fundraiser and some notoriety because of the abortion clinic case, which was heavily covered by conservative and religious press.
After the FBI arrested him for the altercation at the abortion clinic, Houck raised more than $400,000 for his legal defense fund on GiveSendGo (an alternative to GoFundMe).
Houck was acquitted last January and his attorney told the Philadelphia Inquirer that the case was “nothing but an intimidation tactic from the Biden Justice Department” against those who oppose abortion access.
Fitzpatrick is a moderate in the Republican delegation and the district doesn’t have a record of supporting “hardcore pro-lifers,” veteran Republican strategist Christopher Nicholas told POLITICO.
“I’m sure he’ll run a spirited primary,” Nicholas said of Houck. “But the road is littered with Republicans who thought they were going to successfully primary challenge Fitzpatrick, and I see no evidence yet that he won’t join them.”

Rachel Bilson (biography)
Birthday: 25/08/1981 Year
Place of Birth: Los Angeles, California, USA
Nationality: United States
Rachel was born in Los Adzhelese August 25, 1981 in a happy American family.
From early childhood, loving parents and older brothers spoiled my baby. And she discovered their acting ability, quickly learned to trace all around her little finger and get whatever he wants.
When she was 7 years old, my parents decided to give her a chance and provided a role in the film “Wrong Guys”, the film grossed $ 1 million, which is not bad for the first film.
Rachel greatly enjoyed playing, she became a permanent part in auditions, when still in school. The next time Rache played a small role in the series “a laughingstock.” In spite of all the insignificance of this project, he pushed Rachel to go on, she was determined that would be an actress.
First of all, look for a future star agent. The result was not long in coming. Miss Bilson got a role in the film “Farewell Beerbohm”, after this role, she noticed and invited to play in the movie “The Crucible” and “Once in Metrasse.” After a year of work in the theater, Rachel decided to try her on TV. First time on TV, she played in the series “It is so” (1988), but the show has not been shown, it was taken off the air immediately after the demonstration of the pilot episode. However, Rache did not hang up his nose, namesti, she started acting in commercials for big companies such as Subway.
The year 2003 was a triumph for Bilson. Rach had roles in two soap operas (“Buffy – the Vampire Slayer” and “8 Simple Rules”) and in the film “Unbroken”.

VALLEY STREAM, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Confusion reigns on Long Island in the Village of Valley Stream after the Federal Emergency Management Agency agreed to drop 1,500 homes from its new flood maps.
But that still leaves more than 850 property owners in the new flood zone.
Village leaders said they will challenge that, even as they try to figure out who they are, CBS 2’s Dana Tyler reported Wednesday,
At Valley Stream Village Hall, the building inspector said even with zoom-in graphics sent to him just Tuesday by FEMA, he still can’t tell exactly which properties are in or out of the federal government’s newly revised flood zones.
“I went over to Village Hall a week, a week and a half ago. They couldn’t give me an answer as to whether I was in the zone or out of the zone,” homeowner Margaret Buscemi said.
Buscemi is one of the hundreds of homeowners who would have to pay between $2,000 and $4,000 for flood insurance, but she can’t tell from any of FEMA’s flood maps if she’s been removed from the flood zone, as some of her neighbors just down the block were.
Buscemi lives near a creek that FEMA says is a threat, but she and her neighbors say they’ve never seen it overflow.
“This brook, Motts Creek, is the reason why this area isn’t in jeopardy. This body of water takes all this rain out to Jamaica Bay,” homeowner Phil Gagliano said.
Village leaders say it will cost millions to hire an engineering firm to challenge FEMA, but they are preparing some test cases to do just that, knowing that most taxpayers don’t want to pay for a costly legal challenge that affects less than 10 percent of the village.
“Absolutely, it goes with the territory. If you live by the water you have to pay for the water damage,” homeowner Staci Fields said.
Village leaders said in the interim, they are petitioning federal officials to freeze flood insurance rates until their appeals can be heard. They also said Sen. Charles Schumer’s office is preparing legislation to put a moratorium on those higher insurance premiums for at least a year.
FEMA said detailed engineering studies will be needed to successfully challenge the removal of any of the 850 properties now in the flood zone.

I cruised on Le Boreal as part of a chartered Abercrombie and Kent expedition including The Falkland Islands, South Georgia, and the Antarctic peninsula in Dec 14/Jan 15.
There are many reasons to select Le Boreal/A&K for this adventure:
* Itinerary: every other expedition in this category and with these stops is 20+ days. This was 17, and was certainly not too short. It hit all the highlights you want to see, and there were plenty of expeditions at each stop.
* Expedition staff: A&K gathered an impressive team led by Dr. Marco Favero, and cruise director Jannie Cloete. There were several PhDs, and many other skilled naturalists, photographers and historians. From my research, only Lindblad/Nat Geo can compare with this level of experienced staff.
* Ship: Le Boreal is new, clean, and incredibly stylish. The cabins are streamlined but comfortable, and the public spaces are subtly beautiful. Look at the Lindblad/NatGeo ships and you'll see old-fashioned, somewhat hokey interiors. I cannot overstate how nice the ship design is. AND, every single cabin has a balcony, which I found incredibly nice.
* The price: Though A&K is by no means known as affordable...the combination of the shorter itinerary and discounts for early bookings resulted in this cruise being several thousand dollars cheaper than the alternatives like Lindblad/NatGeo, SilverSeas, etc. And
* The ship staff: service and professionalism was at the highest level. The captain and crew kept the bridge open to visitors daily, and navigated skillfully through heavy and icy seas...often changing course to see whales, add stops to our itineraries, etc. Bar and Restaurant staff...a mix of French and Filipino...was tremendously friendly and offered great personal service.
You can read the company websites and brochures for day-by-day detailed itineraries so there is no point in repeating those here. Here are some tips/tricks/observations:
* You are at sea for several days at a time with no stops, and there is limited entertainment, so bring books, movies, games, etc. Expedition staff will give lectures that can vary in quality, and there are about 20-25 movies on demand...not alot. The onboard library has a small selection of books, and WiFi is available by satellite, but quite expensive. In short, don't go if you are easily bored and you don't like reading or quiet times.
* Food is overall good, but a bit on the French hotel bland side. The weakest areas are proteins...fish and meats usually overcooked. But, over 3 weeks with no stops to resupply there was always great fresh fruit, salads, and vegetables. Soups were good, desserts as well. And, breads and pastries were always consistently excellent. There is a buffet and a sit-down restaurant, and both were open for all meals. Cookies and tea were served in 2 bars off hours. A brief room service menu was available 24x7 when the restaurants were closed for meals.
* Packing. Everyone but me seemed to ignore the many warnings to limit baggage to a minimum. There were huge suitcases, and about 1/3 of people had packed suits/ties and cocktail dresses for the welcome reception, xmas dinner, new year's eve, and farewell dinner. On this trip, you could rent boots for the onshore expeditions, and I recommend that option rather than bringing them.
* Spa and Fitness Center. The spa was roomy and super comfortable...but I didn't hear anyone rave about the treatments. In France, there are levels of massage...with the highest requiring training and licensing and practiced usually in medical offices This is not what you get on Le Boreal. I heard people say it was usually light Swedish massage that was only passable. I got a facial which I thought was pretty good. The fitness center is nice but VERY small...2 treadmills, 2 bikes and a combination cable/weight machine. The end. It gets understandably crowded.
* Getting to the ship from Buenos Aires. A&K arranged airport pickup which was perfect, and overnight stay at the Sofitel in BA. Ask for a high floor with a view...because I was on floor 3 overlooking an airshaft. Have patience during the trip to Ushuaia. A&K screwed up our tickets...we got boarding passes to the NatGeo charter flight...so all info was wrong. We also waiting in the airport for quite a while. I get that its hard to move 200 people around, but things seemed especially slow and ponderous.
* When to go. We chose the xmas/new year "family" cruise with A&K...and it was a great choice. The demographic was younger than the usual A&K stuffy and pretentious oldsters...which livened up the mood. There were about 30 kids from 7 to 18...and they were all great.
Smallest/standard double occupancy room. It was totally fine. I really liked this location close to the forward elevator

This little guy was found at the truck stop, starved and with the skin avulsed off his lower jaw. Probably thrown out of a vehicle. I now have a menace in the shop, he’s always underfoot but learning. Few more months and he‘ll be less of a devil.
We've got 4 indoor kitties. Two from the pound and two from the front yard. And we have 3 outdoor cats that refuse to be indoor cats. Plus a dozen bird/squirrel feeders. Deer, raccoons, possums and half a dozen or so Sandhill Cranes.
But that is one cute kitten. Lucky you for finding and rescuing such a handsome boy!
I had a shop cat for a couple of weeks. She hid from me. I knew she was in the shop but never saw her. She used the litter box and ate her food but never came out of wherever it was that she was hiding. Then she decided to use my car cover as a scratching post. She went back to being a ferral cat. I see more of her now than I did when she was "mine".
Phoenix. That that was an apt name seeing from where he was to now. He was so bad we were going to put him down, but didn’t because he’s such a fighter.
He‘s not scared of anything. He got rolled by one of the big cats (who are not happy) jumped right up and went back fore more. They are still working out territorial issues, but that’s there problem he is staying!
Early last January, I adopted a badly frost-bitten old (12+?) lady cat who had been living rough under a gas station shed.
Her black feet peeled and healed in the next few weeks, she lost the top half of her left ear. That all must have been really painful.
She's very quiet, doesn't claw the furniture, doesn't raise hell. Lots of hip and shoulder massage (arthritis, maybe?), brushing is a highlight of the day. She's now an "indoor" cat with good foods, clean water, a big litter box and a big house to roam around in, sleep where ever she likes. Always warm and dry and lots of windows to watch "Bird TV" in the house grape vines.
My 18 yr old cat died back last October. She had become such a little habit around the place. Runt of the litter, I should think. I found it hard to live in a big empty house again. I put the word out and the local society had trapped this cat. Just at the right time. They guessed at her age, they guessed that she had been a pet, not feral just badly frightened and maybe even spayed.
Now, according to the poet, T.S. Eliot, cats have a naming process. Kept secret from people.
Unlike many shelter cats, this one had no name, nobody knew where she might have come from, nobody wanted her.
So with great ceremony and a big stiff drink for me, I named her "Rumpuss." So here we are. Nine months and all is well.
The fat cat on the mat
may seem to dream
of nice mice that suffice
for him, or cream;
but he free, maybe,
walks in thought
unbowed, proud, where loud
roared and fought
his kin, lean and slim,
or deep in den
in the East feasted on beasts
and tender men.
The giant lion with iron
claw in paw,
and huge ruthless tooth
in gory jaw;
the pard,[note 1] dark-starred,
fleet upon feet,
that oft soft from aloft
leaps on his meat
where woods loom in gloom--
far now they be,
fierce and free,
and tamed is he;
but fat cat on the mat
kept as a pet,
he does not forget.
I’ll tell you, I’ve seen a lot of rescues and they rarely give any trouble. This may sound strange, but in some way I think that’s how they show appreciation. Most of the dogs become very devoted to the rescuer.

Singapore food tech Next Gen, maker of plant-based chicken brand TiNDLE, has secured US$20 million in its extended seed round in order to launch in the U.S. market. This takes the startup’s total seed round to US$30 million, and according to Pitchbook, the initial US$10 million was already hailed as the largest seed round for a vegan food tech company gobally. According to publicly available information, the company is valued at US$180 million.
TiNDLE’s first product was developed by Next Gen CTO John Seeger along with expert chefs. The plant-based chicken offers high protein and fibre and is low carb and naturally cholesterol-free and fulfills the nutritional guidelines set by the Healthier Choice Symbol administered by Singapore’s Health Promotion Board. Compared to other plant-based alternatives, the company claims that the product has lower sodium and saturated fat content and it can be adapted by chefs in a range of cuisines.
TiNDLE first launched in Singapore in March and as of now, its products are sold in 70 restaurants across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Macau. These restaurants include ADDA by four-time Michelin Star Chef Manjunath Mural and two Michelin Star Bo Innovation by Chef Alvin Leung in Hong Kong. A debut in Kuala Lumpur is planned soon.
Global investor backing
The financing round witnessed the participation of Global Fund GGV Capital; China-based agriculture and food tech venture fund investing in the alternative protein space; Bits x Bites; a major Asian food and beverage player in the plant-based dairy sector, Yeo Hiap Seng; co-author of Blitzscaling(how tech companies can scale quickly) Chris Yeh; and a well-known group of athletes including the England national team footballer Dele Alli.
This new group of investors joined the company’s existing investors including the Singapore state investor Temasek Ventures, who famously backed Impossible Foods early on, and Asia-based venture capital fund K3 Ventures, both of whom participated in the extension. This brings the total raise to over US$32 million.
When asked about the now public valuation of Next Gen, co-founder and newly appointed Chief Executive Officer Andre Menezes told Green Queen that “fundraising and valuation are not what we consider success. What success means to us is the fact that we have built an extremely scalable business model with solid fundamentals, a strong team and great traction – which in turn allowed top tier investors to be confident to be part of our journey.”
In a press release seen announcing the news, managing partner at GGV Capital Jenny Lee said that given that the Next Gen team has already created and launched a plant-based meat product in Europe (co-founder Timo Recker founded LikeMeat and sold it to LIVEKINDLY Collective in September 2020), it has one of the strongest founder-market fits in the global food tech industry: “The team’s focus on product quality, brand recall, and distribution provide a strong foundation for the future growth of the company. Our partnership with the NextGen team is underpinned by our commitment to team up with founders who show real passion and flair in solving the fundamental challenges of our time – food sustainability is one of them. By leveraging technology to create delicious plant-based foods, NextGen has a unique global opportunity to popularize non-animal food products and let consumers know that great flavor can go hand-in-hand with both great nutrition and sustainability.”

Prep for U.S. market entry
According to the Good Food Institute, in 2020, the U.S. retail market for vegan foods was valued at US$7 billion, higher than its US$5.5 billion in 2019. In addition, 47% of young Americans identify themselves as flexitarians, those that are reducing their meat intake, though not completely eliminating it from their diets.
With this in mind, and in an effort to address the product gap for plant-based chicken, the startup plans to use their newly-raised capital to drive TiNDLE’s market entry into the U.S. within the next 12 months.
Next Gen has onboarded new CFO Rohit Bhattacharya, formerly a director at Temasek and will further recruit 50 U.S. employees across all departments to support its launch in North America. Co-founder Recker will take on the role of Chairman going forward.
Menezes added: “The United States is the world’s biggest market for plant-based foods. We are already putting our foundations in place to be in-market within the next 12 months as we accelerate our goal of becoming the world’s number one plant-based chicken. The outstanding response from both existing and new investors shows their confidence in our innovative technology, highly scalable business model, differentiated taste experiences, and the ability of our team to make TiNDLE a market leader in the U.S.”

Expansion in APAC and the Middle East
Next Gen’s CMO Jean Madden said: “Following our March 2021 TiNDLE launch, we have expanded to three key markets, and we expect to be in more than five by end-2021, a mark that some leading brands do not cross after years of existence. We are scaling at this incredibly fast pace with our asset-lite business model, distribution network, talent, and collaborations with great chefs and hot restaurants.”
According to UBS, the plant-based protein market across the world is predicted to reach US$85 billion by 2030.
To tap into this growing demand, the company will utilize its additional resources to continue its expansion in APAC and the Middle East markets, in addition to its U.S. plans. It will develop its technology, set up an R&D center in Singapore, and diversify its product range.
In an exclusive interview with Green Queen, Menezes explained that he chose Hong Kong, Macau, and Malaysia as the company wants to focus on global urban well-connected cities for TiNDLE’s expansion. “Hong Kong is one of the greatest food and cultural hubs in Asia. Macau is a renowned tourist destination, especially for Mainland China, with some 40 million tourists in 2019. Additionally, Kuala Lumpur has also been recognized for its culturally diverse cuisine. These factors make all three cities perfect for Next Gen’s expansion in the Asia Pacific. Hong Kong and Singapore are also seen as global hubs with what is best in this space globally, hosting leading brands from the USA, Europe and across Asia. We are confident that TiNDLE can perform at that level, and these markets are highly relevant to us.”
Going forward, the company plans to raise Series A funding, and expand into Europe as well.

WoodRiver makes the cut
Very few dado sets stack up to SawStop’s rigorous standards, but the company recently announced that Woodcraft’s WoodRiver 8" dado set has been approved for use with all styles and configurations of SawStop table saws. The announcement means the WoodRiver dado set passed SawStop’s thorough evaluation, making it only the sixth dado set to do so. It’s also one of the most affordable SawStop-compatible dado sets available. WoodRiver’s set is made in Israel from German steel and features carbide tips manufactured by Luxembourg-based Ceratizit Group.

In the Single-drawer side table drawing on page 33 of Issue #96 (Aug/Sept 2020), the side apron width should be 5" instead of the 4" dimension shown.
The leftmost access line on the double tray template layout (Issue 97, Oct/Nov 2020, page 24) should have come from the top of that layout as shown here. The original line from the bottom of the template would be impossible to cut on most bandsaws, as the workpiece would run into the machine’s column. The corrected template is available online at woodcraftmagazine.com.
A little something extra?
Page 35 of the Aug/Sept 20 issue mentions that plans for “A lifetime tenon jig” can be found in onlineEXTRAS. The one pictured on page 35 appears to have a 45-degree feature that isn’t included in the online plans. That’s piqued my interest.
—Bill Schneider, via email
Senior editor Paul Anthony replies:
Good eye, Bill! One of the beauties of this symmetrical fence-straddling carriage jig is that each face can be outfitted for its own purpose. In this case, one face is outfitted for tenoning, and the other for sawing spline slots to reinforce frame miters. The online article focuses on the former, while the photo here shows the latter. Without a doubt, this dual-purpose jig is one of my most used table saw accessories. Plans for the spline miter jig are available in onlineEXTRAS.

Memorial Day Weekend in Acadia National Park
A few friends and I spent the weekend in Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park in Maine. I was blown away by the scenery and never thought something like that was so close to me here in New England.
If you haven’t been to Acadia National Park, make the trip. It doesn’t get the publicity some of the larger parks out west do, but it’s just as impressive. One tip: if you go, drive the loop just after sunrise. This way you’ll miss the crowds and have the park to yourself.
The single most impressive/mind blowing sunrise I’ve ever seen from the top of Cadillac Mountain -one of the first spots in America to see the sun rise each morning.
The sunsets weren’t half-bad either. We enjoyed it from a 3-mast schooner.
One disappointment – there aren’t many moose strolling around on the coast of Maine.. at least not at Acadia National Park. To make up for this sad fact we swung by the Maine Wildlife Park on the way home and finally, after 26 years of life, I finally saw one.

In "The Angriest Man In Brooklyn," Robin Williams plays Henry Altmann, a man who has a bad day every day. Always unhappy and angry at the world including everyone in it, Henry sits impatiently at the doctor's office when he is finally seen by Dr. Sharon Gill (Kunis). Sharon, who is enduring her own bad day, reveals that Henry has a brain aneurysm. This news makes Henry even angrier. Yelling at Sharon, he demands to know how much time he has left. Faced with Henry's anger and insults, Sharon abruptly tells him he has only 90 minutes. Shocked and reeling by this news, Henry storms out of the office leaving Sharon stunned by what she has just done in a lapse of judgment. As Sharon goes on a citywide search, Henry struggles with his diagnosis, determined to make amends with everyone he has hurt in his life. (Gary Reber)
Special features include the "Behind The Rage" featurette (HD 06:17), a gag reel (HD 02:51), upfront previews, and an UltraViolet digital copy.
The 1080p AVC picture exhibits a natural presence throughout, with well-balanced and saturated hues that never exaggerate. Fleshtones are natural in appearance as well, with a slight sepia brush during flashbacks, which recur throughout. During such flashbacks there is an overall soft focus, but otherwise present time is nicely detailed with finely nuanced imagery. This is a pleasing picture, with an engaging color palette. (Gary Reber)
The DTS-HD Master Audioô 5.1-channel soundtrack is primarily driven by the dialogue and narration, which sounds natural and spatially integrated. While there are cityscape ambient environments that are narrowly focused, the orchestral music score is spread out across the soundstage with surround envelopment. Fidelity is good, with a solid bass foundation. While conventional in production, the sonics are pleasing and supportive. (Gary Reber)

text: On Sunday, Sept. 8, over 100 members and friends of Memorial Lutheran Church participated in a Day of Service to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Members chose from six different service activities to provide two hours of service in the middle of the worship service. Groups spread out to sing hymns at two care centers, do yard work at Evergreen Lane and for individuals, hang clothes and clean at the Harmony Clothing Closet, package meals for Outreach, Inc., create denim quilts for Nevada’s Angel Tree and prepare a meal for everyone at the conclusion of the service. The worship service concluded after the two hours of service by celebrating communion and sharing lunch. Memorial joined the other nearly 9,000 ELCA congregations across the United States to celebrate the anniversary with service in an effort called "God’s Work, Our Hands."

Support and Comfort
Comfort and support are two of the biggest aspects when looking to buy a new mattress.
There are a number of things which should take place when you lie down.
You want the sinkage and shape to be right, for proper spine alignment.
You also need a mattress to properly support your body, as you sleep at night.
Proper alignment of the body while you sleep is critical.
This is important to make sure you are reducing neck and back pain, as well as have a healthy sleep.
While being supportive of your own body, a suitable mattress has to provide stress relief.
The stress points in your body are precisely what is in control of you thrashing during the evening.
Memory foam mattresses are a great option for being both supportive and comfortable. Awara Mattress Showroom The Top 10 Mattresses Of 2021
Should You Choose Firm or Soft?
This is much like when we speak on comfort and support.
A new mattress should never be too firm, nor should it ever be too soft.
A mattress should be as neutral as it can be, to ensure both your body and spine stay in a neutral position.
A mattress that is too firm can not only restrict blood flow, but can also cause pinched nerves.
Have you ever woken with your body feeling like pins and needles? If so, there’s a great chance your mattress is too firm.
Then you have the issue of a mattress too soft, which creates a sagging effect.
When this happens, you can find yourself with back pain, due to your spine not being correctly aligned.
This is why it’s imperative to find a mattress that is close to neutral.
You need your mattress soft in the right places, without being too soft.
But you also need your mattress to be supportive, without being overly rigid. Awara Mattress Showroom The Top 10 Mattresses Of 2021
One of the most commonly missed over attributes of a mattress is the breathability or fever neutrality of the mattress material.
The best thing that memory foam has going for them, is their ability to conform to your body.
However, foam mattresses have been known to create ‘the oven result’, when their layers start to diminish.
Essentially,a mattress catches your temperature,forcing one to rest also hot.
Most mattress companies nowadays use modern technologies, to make special materials.
Mattress companies want their design to sleep cool, but also provide warmth where it should, and also provide breathability.
Some companies do a much better job at this, than a number of their competitors. Awara Mattress Showroom The Top 10 Mattresses Of 2021
It’s not a huge surprise, that if you’re in the market for a high quality mattress, it normally comes with a nice price tag.
It’s a big investment to make, so when you purchase one, it’s vital to find a mattress that will certainly last you for years.
It is crucial to discover a mattress that’s been well developed, with a lifetime span in mind.
If you will invest the money on a mattress that’s brand new, look for one that uses at least a 10 year warranty. Awara Mattress Showroom The Top 10 Mattresses Of 2021

On Friday, a coalition of national broadcast networks, radio and television station licensees, and community and consumer organizations filed a letter asking the Federal Communications Commission to clarify that it will no longer employ a presumptive ban on foreign investment above 25% in the parent companies of broadcast licensees. The Coalition for Broadcast Investment (the “Coalition”), which includes CBS, Disney, and such public interest organizations as the Minority & Media Telecommunications Council and the Latinos in Information Science and Technology Association, asked the FCC instead to consider on a case-by-case basis whether such a transaction is consistent with the public interest. The filing was reported on by Politico (subscription required), Multichannel News, and TVNewsCheck, among others.
The FCC has historically exercised its discretion to consider, and in many instances to allow, indirect foreign investment above the statutory benchmark in wireless common carriers, which are governed by the same statute. At the same time, the Commission has employed an irrebuttable presumption against equivalent investment in the broadcast context. The Coalition argues that this policy is inequitable, particularly when the FCC has liberalized foreign investment policies toward common carriers ― urging that broadcasters have the same ability to seek capital from foreign investment as other industry participants already have under the law.
