How the commercial and long-form visual effects artist uses the award-winning plugin to tackle planar tracking, rotoscoping, and compositing.
Why I 🖤 Continuum: Bradinn French, Film & Television Editor and Producer
8 minute read
The Emmy Award-winning editor on why he turns to Continuum inside Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro to help quickly key, track, and composite.
Bradinn French is an LA-based freelance television and film editor and producer who works across multiple formats and genres including scripting series, documentaries, and reality TV. His interest in picture editing began with VCR-to-VCR splicing as a teenager in Madison, Wisconsin, and expanded to being self-taught with VEGAS and Final Cut Pro before eventually going to the University of Wisconsin for a film degree.
Some recent projects include his Emmy Award-winning editing of A Black Lady Sketch Show (HBO), American Horror Story (FX), The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Reunion (HBO Max), and the TriBeCa award-winning feature documentary Ferguson Rises. Follow him on Twitter.
Find out why he can’t live without Continuum plugins inside Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro.
What type of tasks do you look to a plugin like Continuum to help with on a daily basis?
I routinely look to various tools in the Continuum toolset to do in-house compositing inside Avid. A lot of these tools like Pixel Chooser have eliminated the need for round-tripping into third-party compositing applications because they can be done perfectly right there in Continuum.
It’s often anything from compositing splits from separate takes and seamlessly joining them to make a shot work or adding various elements into the background/foreground and blending them right into the environment. I use BCC for motion effects when I need to match a handheld camera or add realistic motion to the camera, and I often look to the BCC Transitions when doing a project with stylized transitions. And of course, I use many of the BCC filters and customize their parameters to create a very specific look or sometimes create something totally new.
Mocha Pro is second to none for anything I need to do involving motion tracking — which is all the time. I have not worked with a tool or program as intuitive and as effective as what I can do in Mocha Pro. It’s seriously a gem.
How did you first discover Continuum and how long have you been using it?
I’ve been using some version of Continuum for upwards of the last decade. I believe I first came across it working at a company that had switched from Final Cut Pro to Avid after years of using the former. Avid’s native effects left a lot to be desired so they brought BCC onto our systems and I’ve requested it on every project since. I also keep it on my personal system as it is so invaluable.
(Ferguson Rises, PBS)
Which Continuum features do you use most — and why?
I get heavy usage out of Pixel Chooser with Mocha, BCC_Composite, and BCC_Make Alpha and other effects in the Key & Blend set when doing anything involving mixing two or more shots together. I’ve used it frequently on A Black Lady Sketch Show as well as American Horror Story for both similar and completely different purposes. I used it to great effect on the Bella Thorne movie Habit. I created a really trippy drug-induced montage sequence by blending shot footage and found footage together, juxtaposing them, and then layering in BCC Film Style effects with customized grain and grunginess.
I have been using Mocha Pro for any and all motion tracking. I actually just used it this week to pin a graphic to a really complex environment in a moving shot and matte out objects that passed in the foreground. I use the Chroma Key Studio for all of my green screen work, although I hear I need to switch to Primatte Studio (Editor’s note: Yes, you do!). I love the BCC lens blurs whenever I need to employ them and I recently discovered how great the depth of field and center spot looks are. I had previously been repurposing the Vignette effect to create depth of field artificially.
A lot of the BCC lens effects get really fantastic results when I want to play with lens distortion. I actually really love the flutter cut transition against black for a way to create a really zippy strobing effect without removing frames. A lot of the transitions can be really fantastic if you optimize them for your content where I’ve seen the same types of wipes and dissolves look very corny or cheap using other tools. The thing is, I haven’t even explored so many of the other features yet that I’m sure would be useful or that I’m doing some manual workaround to achieve. I’m trying to work more with the time effects in particular and at some point, I’d like to explore Particle Illusion more.
If you could have only one Continuum effect, which would it be?
Yeah, not at all a fair question. I’ll cheat a bit and say I’d keep the Key & Blend category because that’s probably where I am the most. Or I’d say the Pixel Chooser with Mocha.
What are your top 3 reasons why an editor like yourself should use Continuum?
- Do it in-house! I love having this much control over the look of my work and being able to audition things right there on the spot. That goes for filters, compositing, and color — especially if I have to do something like complex motion tracking. I don’t want to round trip through a third-party app or ship it to a VFX house and wait for it if I don’t have to or if I just need to see if something is going to work. I can do it right here and send it through various cuts while still being able to tweak to my eye or to a director’s eye.
- As someone who learned how to do everything manually first, these are both hugely time-saving and usually way more effective and better looking than trying to do the same effect with a native application by hand. It can be the difference between a breathtaking sequence and a complete restructure.
- The customizability of each effect is worth its weight in gold. The amount of fine tweaking you can do to get it exactly where you want it or to experiment and create something you had no idea you wanted until you saw it, it’s limitless.
Have you tried out the new Cinematographer Toolkit (BCC+ effects) in Continuum? What do you think?
Even though I’ve had access, I have actually only just begun exploring some of these. The lens effects are impressive and the color effects are truly wowing when applied well. I wish I had some of these for several projects through the years that previously would have required a VFX team and color shop to create this kind of quality look.
Continuum includes Mocha’s award-winning tracking & masking/effects isolation tools. How has this integration helped streamline your overall workflow?
Mocha is beyond fantastic. I mentioned it earlier, but I had just used both the tracking and masking effects to pin a graphic element to a shot that had a dollying and panning motion. It also had various elements in the foreground that came in and out of the shot in different parts of the frame. I was able to place this element in the environment and keep it in place through all the camera movement and also pass the foreground items over it without a ridiculous amount of rotoscoping for each and every frame. Mocha was able to track these objects as they shifted in scale and rotation even as pieces of them moved off-screen. It was really exhilarating to see how well it worked the first time I did it. I’ve been just as impressed every time since.
What’s your best pro tip to artists new to Continuum?
I’d say two things. Watch the tutorials! I like to watch at least a couple from different people to see how they might use a given effect similarly and differently to give me a more well-rounded sense of the capabilities. And my other pro tip would just be to experiment whenever possible. I can’t count how many times I went in thinking I wanted to do one thing I’m familiar with, experimented with the effect controls, and then ended up with something even better. Or even just a better understanding of what I can do with a given effect or filter by controlling specific parameters.
What feature requests do you have for the Boris FX product designers?
I think the additions in the cinematographer toolset are fantastic. I can only say that I hope the designers keep pushing the boundaries of what the software can do. It would be great if at some point we could do much of the VFX finishing (that has to be shipped out to a VFX house and back) right there inside the program so it can be fine-tuned on original footage rather than on video comps.
(American Horror Story, FX)
What’s your favorite project you’ve ever worked on — and why?
This is always a tough question because there are different projects that are special to me for different reasons. I think my current show, A Black Lady Sketch Show, is among the most challenging projects I’ve ever done and subsequently one of the ones I’m most proud of because every sketch is its own genre and has its own rhythm and its own world of characters and motivations that occupy it. And not only do you have to make those things work and feel genuine, but it has to be as funny as it could possibly be while nailing everything else.
I had the time of my life doing American Horror Story because there was so much room to explore my creativity and so many ways to tell the stories we told, and it was such a collaborative environment. That would be a front runner for a favorite.
I also have my favorite documentaries like Dark Girls, which was an intense labor of love that sparked really important conversations and set me off on a path to making sure that I would be an advocate for people who need their stories told while I do this thing I love doing.

Car spoilers are a popular modification for automobile enthusiasts. These aerodynamic devices, typically mounted on the rear of a vehicle, play a significant role in enhancing both the appearance and performance of the car. They are designed to manipulate airflow, reducing drag, and optimizing downforce, resulting in improved handling and stability.
Varieties of Car Spoilers:
The market offers a diverse array of car spoilers, each boasting distinct characteristics and advantages. Here, we will explore some of the most prevalent types:
- Rear Deck Spoilers: These classic spoilers are frequently chosen by vehicle owners. They are installed on the rear deck or trunk and come in various shapes and sizes. These spoilers impart a sporty and stylish appearance to the car.
- Lip Spoilers: Lip spoilers are smaller and more discreet compared to their larger counterparts. They are typically integrated into the edge of the trunk lid, offering a subtle and sleek appearance. While they may not provide as much downforce as larger spoilers, they still positively affect aerodynamics.
- Front Spoilers (Front Splitters): Installed at the front of the vehicle, just below the bumper, these spoilers are primarily designed to enhance the car’s stability and downforce by efficiently guiding the airflow over the front wheels.
- Rear Wing Spoilers: Rear wing spoilers are more substantial and conspicuous compared to rear deck spoilers. Renowned for their aggressive and race-inspired look, these spoilers significantly boost downforce and traction. As such, they are a preferred choice among performance-oriented car owners.
Benefits of Installing a Car Spoiler:
The benefits of car spoilers include improved aerodynamics, enhanced handling, a stylish appearance, potential fuel efficiency gains, and the ability to personalize your vehicle with various designs and materials. While a car spoiler can be a great addition to your vehicle, it’s essential to ensure they are properly installed to reap the maximum benefits. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install a car spoiler:
- Improved Aerodynamics: Car spoilers excel at enhancing a car’s aerodynamics by reducing air resistance and increasing downforce, resulting in superior stability and control at high speeds.
- Enhanced Handling: Increased downforce on the rear wheels enhances a car’s grip on the road. This leads to better handling and cornering abilities, particularly crucial for sports cars.
- Stylish Appearance: Car spoilers are available in diverse designs, enabling vehicle owners to customize their car’s appearance to match their preferences, whether it be a subtle and sophisticated look or a bold and sporty one.
- Fuel Efficiency: While car spoilers are primarily associated with performance, they can also positively impact fuel efficiency by reducing drag, especially at higher speeds.
- Personalization: Car spoilers are offered in a wide range of materials and finishes, allowing vehicle owners to personalize their cars according to their tastes.
Installing a Car Spoiler
While car spoilers bring numerous benefits, it’s crucial to ensure their proper installation to maximize their advantages. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to install a car spoiler:
- Gather Tools and Materials: Prior to installation, ensure you have all the required tools and materials, such as the spoiler kit, drill, drill bits, masking tape, and measuring tape.
- Position the Spoiler: Mark the precise location for the spoiler installation, which may vary depending on the spoiler type and the car’s make and model. Use masking tape to delineate the area for precise placement.
- Drill Holes: Carefully drill holes at the marked positions for the spoiler’s mounting points. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific spoiler kit you are using.
- Install Spoiler Brackets: Attach the brackets provided in the kit to the drilled holes. These brackets establish a stable base for the spoiler.
- Attach the Spoiler: Securely attach the spoiler to the brackets, ensuring it aligns correctly with the car’s body.
- Tighten Fasteners: Once the spoiler is in position, tighten the fasteners to ensure a secure attachment, being careful not to over-tighten and damage the spoiler or the car’s body.
- Test for Stability: Gently shake the spoiler to confirm its stability and secure attachment, ensuring it does not wobble or move loosely.
- Final Adjustments: Make any necessary final adjustments to ensure the spoiler is level and perfectly aligned with your car’s design.
- Paint or Finish: Depending on the material and finish of your spoiler, you may need to paint or apply a clear coat for a polished appearance.
- Enjoy the Transformation: Once the spoiler is securely in place, you can appreciate the instant transformation it brings to your car’s appearance and performance.
A Reliable Choice for Car Spoilers:
A car spoiler is a valuable vehicle addition that enhances both aesthetics and performance. Various types are available, each aimed at improving your car’s handling and appearance. Common options include:
- Increased Traction: Spoilers generate downforce on the rear wheels, which enhances traction. This is especially beneficial during rapid acceleration, tight cornering, and challenging weather conditions.
- Increased Resale Value: A well-installed and maintained spoiler can add value to your car, making it a more attractive option for potential buyers in the future.
- Easy Installation: Many car spoilers are designed for straightforward installation, making them a practical choice for car enthusiasts and DIY enthusiasts.
Just as an artist’s final brushstroke turns a canvas from a painting into a masterpiece, a car spoiler completes the art of automobile design. This subtle addition, whether it’s the classic elegance of a Rear Deck Spoiler or the assertive statement of a Rear Wing, is like the perfect concluding note in a symphony. In the vast orchestra of vehicle accessories, spoilers hold a poetic essence. They don’t merely transform the aesthetics, but they dance with the wind to create an aerodynamic ballet, allowing your car to glide more gracefully.
If you imagine your car as a bird, the spoiler is its tail feather, steering it with stability and finesse. So, for those with a heart that beats in sync with the roar of an engine or simply those who appreciate beauty in motion, consider this gentle nudge: Give your vehicle the flourish it deserves. Embark on the poetic journey of automobile artistry, and let your car not just travel, but truly soar.

Whoever wins the mayor’s chair this October will earn $200,747 annually — six per cent less than Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s current salary — while those elected as councillors will continue to be paid $113,416 annually, plus benefits and expenses.
Council voted Monday in favour of a proposal from a compensation review committee to cut the mayor’s paycheque by $12,123, but rejected other recommendations from the group, including eliminating transition allowances for elected officials and having council vote annually on their own pay.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
The decisions came after councillors grilled a five-person citizen committee, tasked with reviewing compensation, over its finished report that was labelled “a little bid odd” by Ward 14 Coun. Peter Demong and incomplete by Ward 11 Coun. Brian Pincott.
“From what I read, and certainly what I was hearing, it didn’t really look at how being an elected official is a completely different job than any other contract position in the private sector,” Pincott said of the group’s work.
“It didn’t look into some of the political realities around compensation … it didn’t look at what it’s like to leave politics … and that was disappointing.”
Ward 8 Coun. Evan Woolley, who served as deputy mayor at Monday’s meeting because Nenshi was absent, acknowledged the committee volunteers received a rough ride in council chambers.
“There were some tough questions, because I think, frankly, some of the personal bias in some of the answers that were given (by the citizen committee) raised some concerns for some of our council colleagues,” Woolley told reporters.
Council members especially took issue with the group’s recommendation to have council vote annually to accept or decline pay cuts or raises, and to end an existing transition allowance, which amounts to eight weeks of pay or about $17,000 for a councillor serving one four-year term and $33,000 for the mayor.
Following more than 90 minutes of conversation, council voted 12-0 in favour of a $12,123 pay cut for the mayoral position, from $212,870 a year, beginning after the October election.
Ward 1 Coun. Ward Sutherland, Ward 6 Coun. Ray Jones and Nenshi were absent for the votes on council pay, though Nenshi said last week he supported the wage reduction and thinks his salary is “a bit too high.”
Elected officials also voted unanimously to keep councillor salaries at the current level of $113,416 annually, with future adjustments continuing to be made based on Alberta average weekly earnings reports by Statistics Canada.
Council rejected a proposal to vote annually to accept or decline the salary adjustment calculated by the average weekly earnings indicator, with some arguing that would be a “race to the bottom,” and instead they approved an amendment from Ward 3 Coun. Jim Stevenson to keep salaries tied to average weekly earnings and vote once per term on pay changes.
A recommendation from the committee to eliminate transition allowances for elected officials lost in an 11-1 vote, with only Ward 4. Coun Sean Chu supporting the proposal, and many councillors arguing it’s extremely difficult to find a new job after serving on council.
“The success rate is pretty low, and it can take years to find gainful employment,” said Pincott. “Whoever is hiring you, you come with a lot of political baggage, one way or another.”
An amendment from Ward 13 Coun. Diane Colley-Urquhart to freeze council salaries in 2018 was rejected in a 7-5 vote, with Colley-Urquhart, Druh Farrell, Andre Chabot, Chu and Demong supporting the wage freeze.
Colley-Urquhart argued freezing salaries would show leadership amid the economic downturn and challenges facing council “with negotiations and various other things.”

Cheers Sexy People!
Even though I write this blog doling out any insights I find, and do oodles of research on polyamory / ethical non-monogamy, communication, relationships, etc, sometimes I fuck up anyway. I view trying to live an ethically non-monogamous life, juggling more than one relationship, and doing my best to live a purposeful, loving and compassionate life as a “practice”, something that I strive for and work on every single day. Each day is a new adventure, a new day to do better, a new day to potentially fuck up again, and learn a new lesson (or maybe the same lesson you learned before, but it didn’t stick the first time, dang it).
Ah, life is fun! What can we learn today?
So I’ll share my latest – in this case – learning experience. Please feel free to learn from my mistakes. We are here to help each other. If you’ve been reading along on my posts, you know that I have recently resigned from my job. I plan to embark on a new career adventure, become self-employed, and be my own boss. It’s all part of my plan to live a more authentic life, being true to who I am, aligned with my values, and utilizing my strengths. One of my strengths I think is talking to you folks and I want to do more of that. 🙂
Anyway, resigning from my job, doing a long good-bye dance (I gave more than two weeks notice for various reasons) is proving to take up quite alot of my time, and takes a fair amount of energy. One of the catalysts to my decision to leave is an insubordinate employee that my bosses seem to love (she IS talented, but has a poor attitude). Sometimes middle management sucks. haha. Suffice it to say that there was a very stressful “incident” last Thursday, and I needed to put her in her place, as her supervisor. Not a fun day, or experience. I have difficulty dealing with my own emotions of anger, and how to manage that emotion. In this case, my hands were trembling as I tried to remain as calm as I could while I disciplined this unprofessional employee. I came home that nite and found consolation by both my boyfriend and husband. I also had a really good cry later that nite in the hot tub with my boyfriend, as I de-stressed from the day and let my emotions out… in that case, sad emotions that I had to deal with this insubordinate young woman, and the stress of wondering if you’re doing the right thing, saying the right thing. Trying to be ethical and live a life of integrity can be EXHAUSTING sometimes. Constant obstacles in your path to navigate around or through. I very much dislike drama, but sometimes it seeks you out anyway, eh?
Fast Forward to Saturday nite: date nite with my beau. It’s going swimmingly overall. He made me an awesome dinner, and we took the cats out on leashes outside for fun. Then later in the evening, he criticized me about something mundane, that had to do with household chores. I felt the comment was untrue, unnecessary and verging on mean in that moment. I would like to emphasize the phrase IN THAT MOMENT. My anger flared up and we proceeded to get into a heck of an argument. I had trouble coming down off of that angry high and the night was more or less ruined. I very much dislike drama, but sometimes it seeks you out anyway, eh? — EVEN WHEN YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF! I accused my boyfriend of ruining the evening with his insensitive comment. But who had really ruined the evening, him or me? If I’m being honest, I have to admit it was me.
As I reflected later, I realized that the stressful encounter with my disruptive employee days earlier had weakened my defenses, even though I wish that it hadn’t and I thought I had everything back under control, emotion wise. But clearly, I was still rattled. One little criticism, and off I went, ruining my own evening, and doing what I try very hard NOT to do: take out something on our loved ones, the ones close to us. Was a date nite maybe not the greatest nite to criticize your lover over something as mundane as household chores, when she’s going through a stressful period of her life? Sure. But did I have to get SO ANGRY? Certainly not. I could have handled it much better. I’m not beating myself up (too much), I’m trying to learn from it, even though it’s a lesson that I have learned before. I could have done any number of more productive things, like:
- Let it roll off my back and laugh it off.
- Said, “honey, I don’t think that’s a fair thing to say. But I hear you.”
- If I felt the anger flare up, I could have excused myself and calmed myself down, and reminded myself that this was small potatoes. Nothing is worth getting upset about unless it’s REALLY worth getting upset about (such as the death of a loved one, a car crash, a layoff, etc).
I later that nite apologized for my part in the argument. And then bought him a peanut butter and chocolate egg treat, because peanut butter and chocolate go together amazingly awesomely… as does polyamory and emotional strength. 🙂
I have found a great article that I’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to share with you. This seems like the right moment to me. Haha. This is another article that I personally will read over and over to remind myself of some very important truths. I want to keep this blog post short, so that hopefully, you will take the time to read the article. Please do. I know where some of my triggers are here and areas where I can improve. How about you?
Sharing is caring. Any thoughts that you’d like to add here? Did you like the article? Have you had a similar experience to mine where something tore down your defenses and calm manner, and you were more sensitive than usual?
Wishing you peace, love and happiness,
(and thrilling, fun sex)

I’m a Comcast internet access customer, and I don’t have a television here in Ann Arbor. There, I’ve said it. I remember thinking when other people used to say they didn’t have televisions that they were just being sanctimonious cranks. I swear I’m not being a sanctimonious crank.
With a good internet connection, and a big/friendly enough monitor, you don’t need to subscribe to cable content any more. I was thoroughly content watching the convention this week on C-SPAN. But I was watching C-SPAN.org – and I was also following the Twitter feeds of thousands of people. Plus I was watching the comments on DailyKos. It was the most convivial, richest way to watch a major speech that I have ever experienced.
Having cut all of those cords (no landline phone either), I’m worried about a future in which Comcast gets to say that I’ve used “too much” bandwidth and have to be cut off. : That future is coming on October 1, when Comcast will implement a 250 GB monthly cap. (Hat tip: Karl Bode.)
Comcast sees a future in which people use the internet to send a few emails or look at a few web pages. They don’t want people watching HD content from other sources online, because that doesn’t fit their business model. So rather than increase capacity, they’d rather lower expectations. 250GB/month is about 50-60 HD movies a month, but we’re not necessarily going to be watching movies. Maybe we’ll be doing constant HD video sessions with other freelancers, or interacting with big groups all over the world in real-time. Who knows what we’ll be doing – it’s all in the future.
But rather than build towards a user-powered future, Comcast wants to shape that future — in advance — in its own image. The company is not offering additional bandwidth packages to people who want more. They just want to be able to shut service off at a particular point – a point of bandwidth use that most people aren’t using right now, so that they won’t be unhappy. By the time we all want to be doing everything online, Comcast users (the company hopes) won’t expect anything better.
Here’s a comment that makes the competitive picture clear:
Q. How does this factor in with users of your Digital Voice service? On average how much bandwidth does that service take up?
Bill G. [Comcast]: Digital voice has no affect [sic] on this, the 250 gig cap is allotted for just downloads
So Comcast’s own services won’t be limited, just downloads of other peoples’ services and material. And don’t get us started on those asymmetric uploads.
What business doesn’t want to build capacity to serve the future?: I’ll tell you — listen, now — a business that’s confident it can plan for the future it wants. A business whose plans don’t include serving as a neutral transport platform for other peoples’ material. A business that is focused on maintaining scarcity.

The Daily Telegraph named him one of the “Top 10 Britons of the Year” and he is Gramophone’s youngest ever double-award winner.

“I chose Berlioz’s Roman Carnival Overture because it was one of the first pieces I conducted with the Orchestra,” said Des Moines Symphony Music Director & Conductor Joseph Giunta.
“Brahms’ First Symphony is my favorite of his four, and I am eager to present to our wonderful Des Moines audiences the young British pianist Benjamin Grosvenor, who I first heard at the London Proms several summers ago. His career is really taking off and his playing is virtuosic, lyrical and sensitive – the perfect style for Saint-Saens’ melodic and charming Second Piano Concerto.”
These concerts’ Patron Sponsors are Tom & Linda Koehn, Richard & Jeanne Levitt, John Merriman & Barbara Beatty, Stanley & Gail Richards, Audrey & Harlan Rosenberg and Drs. Robert & Rebecca Shaw. McGladrey is the Partner Sponsor for these concerts.

Despite the cryptocurrency market’s prolonged bearish trend, some of its most ardent supporters have not been discouraged. This includes the president of the Central African Republic (CAR), who remains bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) and crypto.
In a tweet shared on June 14, President Faustin-Archange Touadéra reaffirmed his country’s decision to make Bitcoin legal currency. He stated that “Understanding Bitcoin is crucial to acknowledge its disruptive power to bring long-term prosperity,” adding that:
“Mathematics doesn’t account for human emotions. Future generations will look behind at these very moments to [celebrate] our strength & unity in choosing the right path during hard times.”
Currently, the cryptocurrency market is facing one of its longest and deepest bear markets in history. BTC, the world’s largest digital currency by market capitalization, is down by almost 70% from its all-time high of $68,789 reached in November 2021 according to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro. The term ‘hard times,’ as used by the President, refers to the recent crypto market downturn, which has harmed all digital assets and resulted in a total market capitalization loss of $370 billion over the course of a single week.
In late April 2022, the CAR government officially recognized Bitcoin as legal currency after passing a bill regulating digital assets in the country. The move made the central African nation the second country to recognize BTC as legal tender after El Salvador did so in Sept. 2021.

According to the World Bank, CAR is one of the poorest countries in the world, with a GDP of about $2.4 billion. The country has been beset by political instability and violence for years, making it difficult for residents to access banking services and leading many to turn to cryptocurrency as an alternative way to store value and make payments.
The CAR government’s decision to make Bitcoin legal currency was met with a variety of responses. The World Bank, for example, raised its concerns about the move and stated that it will not support the new “Sango” crypto hub launched in the country.

A/N: Life With Derek is not mine! I am simply borrowing the characters for entertainment purposes.
Making the Playbill
Chapter 1: Auditions
Casey sat in her English class and stared avidly at the clock, watching the second hand come closer to 4 o'clock, and the end of school. The bell rung and Casey jammed her books into her bag and full out ran down the hallway towards the school theatre.
Casey sped past Derek and he yelled after her, "You run any faster, you could fly!" Casey just glared back at him and stuck out her tongue at him.
Casey slowed as she slumped into one of the theatre chairs and waited for Ms. Johnson, the school drama teacher to start auditions. Ms. Johnson raised her hand to her hair which was tied back into a sloppy bun with chopsticks. Her eyes widened as she realized that Casey was right behind her and jumped a bit, "Ms. Macdonald, you're a little early."
"Punctuality is my specialty" Casey smiled at the teacher as she rifled through her bag for her script while other students started to fill the chairs.
A few minutes later Ms. Johnson had started the auditions, Casey watched and clapped as her peers finished their selection from the script Ms. Johnson had provided each of them with. Casey dumped out her bag and found that her script wasn't there, she started to panic just as Ms. Johnson called her up to perform her selection.
She climbed the stairs onto the stage and looked out to where she thought Ms. Johnson was sitting, it was hard to tell, she couldn't see anyone in the audience. Just before she was about to tell Ms. Johnson that she had misplaced her script, she heard someone walk onstage from off in the wings, it was Derek.
Her eyes bulged and tried to shake her head to tell Derek to go away or don't talk but he just frowned at her, "What? You're not happy to see me?"
Casey clenched her teeth and her words were strained as she said them as quietly and forcefully as she could, "Derek, get out of here, now!"
Derek frowned and leaned closer to her, "I though you'd be happy I brought you back your little book here."
Casey's temper boiled over and she forgot she was supposed to be auditioning at the moment but Derek had spoiled it, just like he's spoiled her whole life. "Happy? HAPPY?!?! I am never happy when you're around. You've made my life a living hell!" She stepped forward and poked him in the chest hard to emphasis her words, Derek moved forward into her finger a bit and yelled back, "Yeah well, same here!" Casey was fighting back tears and tried to leave the stage but Derek side-stepped her. She tried again on the other side and was blocked by Derek again. "Get out of my way. Just let me go." She whispered.
Derek cocked his head, "No. You stay, I'll go. I get so bored with our little 'fights'" He air quoted and smirked leaving Casey to hang her head in her hands, but before Derek could fully leave the stage he heard a voice from the empty audience. "Mr. Venturi, is it?" Ms. Johnson had walked onto the stage to speak to them. She handed Derek and Casey a copy of the script on green paper, "Congratulations. You and Ms. Macdonald have won the lead roles in our little play here."
Derek held onto the wall to stop himself from falling down. Casey took her face out of her hands and her mouth dropped open in horror. Derek looked from Casey's horrified face to Ms. Johnson's smiling one. He took a few gulps of breath and asked her, "What play would that be, exactly?"
"Romeo and Juliet, of course."
Derek understood the look of horror on Casey's face now, and he had his own now.
"Oh no." He uttered as he lost his grip on the wall and fell to the floor of the theatre.

"Bocca's darkest roast". This bag was recommended by bobplaza as one of his favorites when I purchased my Flair PRO 2 Brew Head. And yes, as their marketing says, even myself as a light roast aficionado was pleasantly surprised.
Interesting blend of natural beans from Brasil and Washed beans from Peru. I can very well taste the balance between sweet and fruity. I tasted chocolate, figs, raisin's and even got hint of single malt scotch, something like the Bunnahabhain "chocolate malt", which is highly recommendable if you're into scotch.
It's clear that this bean also benefits greatly from the improved heat management of the PRO 2 brew head after upgrading from the signature. Not just in the heat of the output, but so much more clarity in taste and sweetness. I didn't get any acidity whatsoever. The Bombita is a truly intense taste bomb.

The profit recorded by SQM so far this year is a step back compared to figures for 2017.
This, due to the fact that in the third quarter reported earnings of 83.5 million USD, which means a decrease of 26% compared to the same period last year.
"In 2017, we announced a significant expansion of lithium near Antofagasta, which would allow us to increase our capacity by almost 50%. This project, which involved a complete renovation of the existing plant in a short period of time and investment low, "said SQM Chief Executive Patricio de Solminihac of Pulso.
To this, he added that "as announced earlier, the launch of the fully renovated facility was more difficult than expected, It affected our ability to produce high quality lithium during the third quarter, affecting our sales. "
Non-Metal Mining Company revenue amounted to $ 543.2 million, down 2.8% from $ 558.7 million in the same period last year. Solminihac said that the fourth quarter figures could be very similar to those obtained.
With the result of the third quarter, the profits of the company controlled by Julio Ponce Lerou amounted to $ 331 million between January and September, compared with $ 317 million recorded in that period in 2017.

It's been a long time since we visited this pub but glad we did. There must have been around 12 of us eating and all the meals arrived all together and well presented. Everyone enjoyed their food. Great friendly service. Will be back.
Great food...returned again to sample the breakfast and we weren't disappointed.was visiting the area for the weekend...well worth a visit
Decided to go for breakfast. Wish we hadn't. Poor service, dirty tables, had to wait 20 mins for hot drinks. Breakfast which was only basic took nearly an hour to arrive... it wasn't busy either I must add. When it arrived it was virtually inedible. Sausage burnt to a crisp, burnt toast... not returning.
Since visiting this place again after completely giving up on it (see previous review) , it's new management, new staff, and the place is brilliant once again. The manager certainly knows how to manage his staff properly all the time, no waiting at the bar, no waiting ages for food, it's the business now, well done for the brewery getting... 更多

AARP Eye Center
In 2011, the number of Americans taking early Social Security benefits dropped to a 35-year low, according to a new report from the Urban Institute. For the second consecutive year, those taking benefits fell, to 27 percent of the number of eligible older adults. That's down from 31 percent in 2009, reestablishing a 12-year downward trend interrupted only by the recent recession.
Dan Kadlec at Time explains:
Some older workers who lost jobs in the faltering economy opted to retire rather than search for another employer. They may have started collecting Social Security sooner than they had planned because of the forced nature of their retirement. That contributed to a spike in the percentage taking early benefits.
The trend back downward is probably a good thing. A GAO study last year confirmed what retirement experts at AARP have been saying for years: It pays to delay taking Social Security benefits. You're allowed to start collecting Social Security checks at age 62, though the monthly payment will be reduced. Full benefits accrue at age 66. But for each year you put off collecting between 62 and 70, you'll increase your monthly benefit by 5 to 8 percent.
Another new retirement security study (this one from research firm Brightwork Partners) found that American households least financially prepared for retirement saved even less this year, while those who had nice nest eggs saved even more aggressively. "It's a very striking, polarizing impact on the distribution" of retirement savings, said Merl Baker, principal of Brightwork Partners.
Thursday Quick Hits:
- More than half of Americans are live beyond their monthly means-and they're okay with that.
- Former first lady Nancy Reagan is recovering from a fall at home six weeks ago in which she fractured several ribs, the Reagan Presidential Library announced this week. Every 18 seconds, an older adult winds up in the hospital due to a fall; for more on how to prevent falls and improve balance, see here.
- A report on the future of long-term care insurance encourages major employers to begin offering this insurance as an employee benefit.
- Former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson is making headlines for an angry letter directed at the California Alliance for Retired Americans. "What a wretched group of seniors you must be," wrote Simpson, in response to a flyer from the group touting Social Security's solvency. He went on to call the group navel-gazing "greedy geezers" who push nefarious crap, bulls**t, blather and drivel (yes, in that exact language.)
- And hotter temperatures and an aging population could lead to a major spike in heat-related deaths in big cities by century's end, an environmental group warns.

Inteva Products Receives Top Innovation Award for Revolutionary Stitching Process
Inteva Products, LLC, a leading global Tier One automotive supplier of engineered components and systems, received the top prize in the 2018 Innovation Awards presented by the European Association of Automotive Suppliers (CLEPA) at The Hague, Netherlands, on June 13.

In This Issue: HSR&D Research on Social Determinants
» Table of Contents
Takeaway: There is a need for additional brief, primary care-based treatments for PTSD that also work to improve social support in traumatized Veterans. This study is expected to, in part, result in a protocol for routinely measuring social support to inform treatment, which will likely improve Veterans’ mental health and social relationships.
PTSD is a significant problem for Veterans, most of whom are initially treated for the disorder in VA’s Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI). Poor social support in this population is a risk factor for suicidal ideation, all-cause mortality, and worse treatment engagement and response. Preliminary research shows that approximately 60% of Veterans with PTSD present to specialty care intake appointments with poor social support. However, none of the existing PCMHI-based treatments for PTSD explicitly focus on social support generation or reengagement. Moreover, although the limited existing research suggests that the routine assessment of social support to guide treatment planning (also known as measurement-based care, or MBC) improves treatment outcomes in civilian populations, social support is not routinely monitored as part of evidence-based treatments for PTSD.
Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PC-MHI) refers to a set of mental and behavioral healthcare services that are provided to Veterans in collaboration with primary care providers.
This ongoing study (October 2020 – September 2025) will first identify an appropriate instrument for routinely measuring social support in the context of clinical care to improve PTSD treatment, and, subsequently, will evaluate a novel PCMHI-based PTSD treatment as part of a stepped-care model for Veterans who report poor social support and are at greater risk of PTSD treatment non-response. Specifically, study investigators will:
- Select an instrument for measurement-based care of social support in clinical settings for Veterans with PTSD;
- Pilot test a brief, PCMHI-based behavioral activation and social engagement intervention for PTSD based on key stakeholder (e.g., Veteran and PCMHI provider) feedback; and
- Conduct a randomized clinical trial comparing the intervention to usual care in PCMHI.
Investigators will use quantitative data gathered in an online survey of Veterans to assess the degree to which five measures of social support (identified via systematic review and clinical utility ranking) are acceptable, reliable, and sensitive. They also will conduct qualitative interviews with key stakeholders to obtain data on participant acceptability, provider fidelity, and social-support-related measurement-based care. The pilot randomized controlled trial comparing the social support and PTSD intervention to usual care will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of recruitment, randomization, intervention engagement, evaluation strategy, and outcome measurement of clinical outcomes (e.g., PTSD, depression symptoms, and social support), as well as mechanisms of change (e.g., disclosure) and multiple stepped-care outcomes (e.g., clinically indicated, evidence-based psychotherapy initiation and/or retention).
To date, 303 Veterans have completed a national survey to obtain preliminary psychometric data on five social support instruments. All instruments demonstrated sound psychometric properties. The NIH PROMIS® social support short forms were preferred by Veterans who expressed a preference among the instruments. Preliminary qualitative interviews among racially- and gender-diverse PCMHI providers revealed: 1) favorable impressions of measurement-based care of social support in the context of treating PTSD as a “patient-centered” approach, and 2) behavioral activation and social engagement as “the ultimate goal of successful PTSD treatment.”
Created by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) is a publicly available system of “highly reliable, precise measures of patient-reported health status for physical, mental, and social wellbeing.”
There is a need for additional brief, primary care-based treatments for PTSD that also work to improve social support in traumatized Veterans. This study is expected to result in a protocol for routinely measuring social support to inform treatment, which will likely improve Veterans’ mental health and social relationships. This work also will support future trials establishing effectiveness and implementation potential of the intervention, as well as a model of MBC of social support.
Principal Investigator: Sarah Campbell, PhD, is part of HSR&D’s Denver/Seattle Center of Innovation for Veteran-Centered & Value-Driven Care in Seattle, WA.

Neurons’ Broken Machinery Piles Up in ALS
NIH scientists identify a transport defect in a model of familial ALS
A healthy motor neuron needs to transport its damaged components from the nerve-muscle connection all the way back to the cell body in the spinal cord. If it cannot, the defective components pile up and the cell becomes sick and dies. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) have learned how a mutation in the gene for superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1), which causes ALS, leads cells to accumulate damaged materials. The study, published in the journal Neuron, suggests a potential target for treating this familial form of ALS.
