Hino delivers at Dakar Rallyv
Hino, the leading Japanese truck manufacturer and the first one from that country to enter the gruelling Dakar Rally, way back in 1991, registered its 24th consecutive finish in the 2015 edition of this gruelling, annual cross-country race which finished in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on 17 January.
The two-truck Hino Team Sugawara once again had a 100% finishing record and scored a 1-2 in the Dakar Challenge for trucks with engines of less than 10 litres capacity, making it six consecutive class wins and the second year in a row with them being first and second in the class.
This was the 15th time Hino has won this engine capacity award in the 16 times it has been contested since 1996.
Two Mercedes-Benz Unimogs crewed by Italian teams were third and fourth in the class this year. They were 39th and 40th overall and more than 44 hours behind the class-winning Hino. The Hinos finished 16th (Teruhito Sugawara and Hiroyuki Sugiura) and 32nd (Yoshimasa Sugawara, Yoko Wakabayashi and Katsumi Hamura) overall out of the 42 trucks which completed the route of 8161km, including more than 3500 km of timed racing sections. A total of 64 trucks had entered this year’s event.
“We are pleased and proud at yet another display of outstanding reliability and durability by these two Hino trucks in the toughest regular test for this type of vehicle in open competition in the world,” commented the Vice President of Hino South Africa, Ernie Trautmann.
“The two, four-wheel drive Hino 500-Series trucks entered by Hino Team Sugawara were once again the only representatives from the Japanese truck industry to participate in this two-week marathon across some of the world’s most desolate regions. The strong performance also served to underline Hino’s competitive spirit and technological resource,” he added.
What makes the Dakar Rally a David and Goliath contest in the truck category is the fact that the Hino uses production-based six-cylinder intercooled turbocharged engines of less than 10-litres, while most of its rivals are in the ‘monster’ category with much larger capacity engines developed specifically for this annual race. The President of Hino Motors Limited, Yasuhiko Ichihashi, was at the finish of the Dakar for the first time to welcome the two, triumphant crews and said it was a moving experience. It was a great result for the crews, the Hino employees from the company and a few dealers in Japan who had supported them. This year both trucks were fitted with the Hino 9-litre common rail A09C-T1 turbo-intercooled engine which developed 630 horsepower. The only major problem encountered by the two trucks was a leaking radiator in Teruhito’s No. 2 truck, probably caused by a flying stone, on the second day which caused a significant time loss.

Last summer, I posted on Craigslist looking for friends. At the time I didn't find this sad. I didn't have a job and volunteered with kids under 16 all day. There weren't many chances to meet people my own age.
But now, I find it dreadfully sad that I'm going to post again. Now, I have a job, but haven't made any real connections. My work friends and I talk about doing things but don't follow through. I haven't seen my friend from home who moved up here in over six months. Most of the time, I feel really alone.
When I was a kid, this was the norm for me. I'd go to school, hang out with school friends and come home to be by myself. Once college started, that wasn't an option. I lived with people. I also had an almost intrusive network of friends who I saw outside of school often.
I'd like to talk to someone who isn't Jared more often. I feel like when I go to work, I'm too chatty and unprofessional, because I'm attention starved.
So, here we go again.

When did you first consider yourself a writer?
I began writing a journal when I was in high school and made my first attempt at a novel in my early twenties. It never got off the ground. Over the decades, I turned to nonfiction and wrote four books on North Korea and the Kim family. During COVID, I returned to fiction and wrote my first novel (McMinnville) in about six months. It was published this May. Since then, I have written three other novels and am working on my fifth. It is my hope to publish at least one book each year for the next few years.
Why did you choose to write in your particular field or genre?
I do not really have a specific genre. So far, I have written sci-fi, mystery, dystopian, and romance novels. As a writer, I am more interested in trying new things and focusing on various techniques of writing. In one novel, a sci-fi mystery, I focused on pacing. The novel spanned sixty years. Once the trilogy is complete, it will span one hundred years. In another, a dystopian novel, I tried my hand at writing in the first person. The novel is about the last person on Earth. It is not easy to write an entire book with only one character. It stretched my skills as a writer. I have also written two romance novels, one normal and another paranormal. I was interested in how to build a relationship across generational and cultural gaps. I learned a lot about character development. Therefore, I would say that my fiction writing is a journey of discovery and learning how to be a better writer.
Are you a full-time or part-time writer and how does that affect your writing?
I have a full-time job as a research director in a defense think tank. Writing is a part-time job. It is something I hope to do full-time once I retire, a way of keeping myself occupied. I try to write every day, but it depends on other demands on my time. I often write in the mornings but am not tied down to a particular time. I am not a creature of habit. My day job is not a 9-5 job, but one where I can set my own hours. This leaves time for me to write when I feel the most productive.
How do you think you’ve evolved creatively?
I have always been able to write nonfiction. Fiction, however, has been a challenge. I could write the first few chapters but could never come up with an ending. I am a discovery writer and novel after novel petered out about halfway through. Then I shifted my thought process from plot to character. If I could find a character I wanted to write about, the plot seemed to fall in place. While I can still go down dead ends, I can tell much earlier when I need to stop and move on to another story. Sometimes, I am able to reprocess failed novels into new novels in order to flesh out the stories. So, those hit-and-miss efforts are not wasted.
What have you written so far?
I published my first novel in May 2022. It is called McMinnville. It is a cold case mystery about a dying detective trying to solve a case of two photographs of a UFO taken in 1950. As he delves into the case, he begins to question his sense of reality and history as he knows it. A phenomenon, which he does not completely understand, begins to mess with his life. He discovers that things are not what they seem to be, and a clock is ticking. This is the first novel in a trilogy.
Do you work with an outline or plot sketch, or do you prefer to let a general idea guide your writing?
I am a discovery writer. I usually come up with two crossing plot lines and a character or two and I’m off to the races. If I outline, it is only to get over a hump in the story. Normally, the ending comes into focus around halfway through the novel.
How did you decide how to publish your books?
I tried several times to find an agent but had no luck. Then I turned to self-publishing. I reached out to MindStir, which has helped with the editing, cover design, copyright, and marketing. Given the challenges facing traditional publishing these days, I feel that the only way forward for me is through self-publishing. Indie/alternative publishing no longer suffers the stigma it did back in the day. Provided the authors take the proper steps to publish their novels, including rewrites and getting them edited, there is no reason why self-published books cannot be on par with traditionally published books.
What advice would you give to aspiring authors?
Get something on paper. That means start writing and stick with it until the end. Then rewrite again and again before turning it over to editors, beta readers, and finally the publishing process. Once you publish your first book, you know you can do it. That confidence will likely make your next novel, and the novels after that, much easier to write.
Tell us more about your main character. What inspired you to develop this character?
Ray Baker is a recently retired New York homicide detective who has recently learned he is dying of colon cancer. While he still can, he wants to fulfill a bucket list by traveling by train to places around the country where he grew up, beginning in Oregon. This is where he learns about the UFO case that he agrees to investigate. The character is based on an amalgamation of myself and several people I know and have read about. He is a congenial fellow, yet extremely smart and perceptive. Kind of a mix between Jimmy Stewart and Columbo.
What is your next project?
I just finished a dystopian novel about the last man on Earth, or at least in New York City. It is a first-person single-character novel. Infused with lots of scientific theory, this novel describes a world where classical and quantum physics have become linked in some interesting ways and the protagonist needs to figure out how to navigate his way out of his situation.
The novel I am now working on is a return to the romance genre. It examines the challenges that Gen Z and Millennials face in finding love and relationships. Black Pill, Red Pill, Blue Pill, post-feminism, manosphere, hypergamy, hook-up culture, etc…The novel is an attempt to come to grips with the alienation and social frustration facing our future.

Record-breaking 'Old Town Road' reigns on Billboard Hot 100 for 18th week originally appeared on goodmorningamerica.com
Just because “Old Town Road” broke the record for the longest-running number one on the Billboard Hot 100, doesn’t mean it’s ready to give up the throne.
Lil Nas X’s hit, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, is number one again for the 18th week.
Last week, it beat out previous record-holders "Despacito," by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, and "One Sweet Day," by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. Both of those songs were number one for 16 weeks.
Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” settles for number two again on the Hot 100 chart this week, making it a total of eight weeks in the runner-up spot for Billie.
Last week, the producer behind the track, YoungKio, spoke to ABC News and said he produced the beat that became "Old Town Road" in June 2018 while sitting in his room in a village outside Amsterdam.
Later on, Lil Nas X, purchased the unique beat from YoungKio for $30 in November 2018, with limited distribution rights, and the rest is history.
"In the contract [for 'Old Town Road'] it states that I have 50% publishing for the song, and the other 50% is for the artist, so a big part of the revenue of the song is mine," YoungKio said.
While YoungKio is over the moon, so is the rapper on the track.
"18 WEEKS AT #1," Nas X tweeted on Monday with heart emojis.

- Starbucks posted its highest-ever quarterly revenues on Tuesday.
- Americans are placing more orders – and their orders are getting more expensive, too.
- The chain credited this to customers adding cold drinks, modifications, and food to their orders.
Americans are placing bigger Starbucks orders than ever before.
Starbucks posted its highest-ever quarterly revenues Tuesday, which the chain credited in part to more customers ordering customized drinks and cold beverages, as well as a record number of people adding food to their orders.
Starbucks' net revenues were up 78% year-over-year, to a record $7.5 billion, fueled by huge growth in its Americas segment.
People have been placing more expensive orders during the pandemic. Average US ticket size at company-owned stores has now reached a record high, COO John Culver said during the company's earnings call Tuesday.
More people have been ordering using the app or drive-thru, where they tend to place bigger orders, and people have been adding more modifications to their drinks, too. Nearly a quarter of all customers ordering milk-related beverages ask for an alternative to dairy, Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson said.
"Growth in cold beverages and customization, coupled with sustained strong beverage attach and record food attach in Q3, all contributed to the strong ticket," Rachel Ruggeri, Starbucks' chief financial officer, said.
Starbucks did not say what the average ticket size was, but a former Starbucks shift supervisor in Atlanta told Insider that the average customer order was more than $9, which is what new starters make per hour.
A Starbucks worker went viral earlier this month after she posted a video of a 22-drink order on TikTok, saying: "I guess Karen's little sister ordered today."
Starbucks baristas told Insider they've been flooded with orders for complicated drinks with tons of modifications, including an iced latte with 12 shots of coffee, alongside five shots of hazelnut syrup.
A Starbucks spokesperson said that 75% of customized beverages at Starbucks had fewer than three unique modifications.
As well as orders getting bigger and more expensive, people are now placing more of them, too, after the transaction volume plummeted during the pandemic.
Customers placed 80% more orders at company-owned US Starbucks stores in the third quarter, between late March and late June, than they did during the same time period last year.
The number of transactions has reached nearly 90% of pre-pandemic levels, Ruggeri said.
As a result, comparable US store sales are up 83% year-over-year.
Culver said that sales had recovered at rural and suburban areas across the US, especially for drive-thru locations. Drive-thru now accounts for 47% of all Starbucks sales, and mobile orders make up a further 26%.
Culver said that he expected the average ticket to "moderately decrease" as more people order from Starbucks stores in urban areas when they return to the office. This could lead to a rise in single-drink orders, Ruggeri said.
"But we do believe that our ticket will remain slightly elevated compared to a pre-pandemic level," she said.

Exorcism of Emily Rose Parent Guide
Parent Movie Review
If the amount of discussion generated after the credits roll is an indication of a “good” movie, then The Exorcism of Emily Rose demands some attention.
Audiences, coming with the expectation of Exorcist-style head-spinning special effects, will be surprised to find something much more like a courtroom drama than a scare-‘em-silly outing. Certainly this film is frightening and contains many visual scenes that may be disturbing, but the fear is magnified by the expectation of evil as Father Moore (Tom Wilkinson) recounts the proceedings connected with the horrifying night when he attempted to cast out the devil within Emily Rose (Jennifer Carpenter).
The young girl in question is a happy high school graduate preparing to leave her simple rural Minnesota home to begin college. However, her personality changes dramatically after a terrifying night in her dorm when she experiences seizures and finds herself in the grip of a suffocating force (all shown in dramatic fashion). In the upcoming days and weeks, Emily Rose reaches the point where she can no longer study, even with the help of doctors and prescriptions.
Returning home, her family decides her illness is beyond the scope of physicians, and instead enlists spiritual treatment from their Catholic priest. It is Father Moore who determines Emily Rose is suffering from demonic possession—and it is he who is charged with negligence when the girl dies under his care.
This is where the movie actually begins—with the trial to determine the clergyman’s fate. The prosecutor is District Attorney Ethan Thomas (Campbell Scott), a faithful Christian, although not Catholic, with a reputation for tearing up a courtroom. Defending Father Moore is Erin Bruner (Laura Linney), who admits to being a casual agnostic and only takes the high profile case because her boss is dangling a partnership opportunity in front of her.
While the courtroom rhetoric unfolds, we see in flashback the series of events leading up to Emily Rose’s untimely death. The centerpiece of these sequences—the smiling freshman’s decline to Satan’s servant—is illustrated in moments of bodily contortions, screaming, eating insects, self-mutilation and other alarming actions. These depictions fall short of explicit (explaining the film’s PG-13 rating, as opposed to an R) but they will make this movie inappropriate for most pre-adult audiences.
Parents will want to exercise extreme caution with this title. The story is played out as factual, even though it is only loosely founded on an exorcism attempted in Germany during the 1970s, where a priest was accused of similar offenses. Yet the ubiquitous “Based on a True Story” title that appears at the head of the film may make the tale even more enticing to those curious about the occult.
Your personal religious views will also profoundly affected how you feel about the script, which grapples with matters of heaven and hell. While it offers a sympathetic portrayal of the Catholic priest, it depicts the Evangelical persecutor as a cardboard character with little regard for mercy.
Artistically, the film is well constructed. The legal proceedings punctuate the frightening scenes, providing effective pacing. One moment, we’re viewing the horror of Emily Rose’s spiritual struggle, the next we are back in court hearing testimony attempting to explain the paranormal happenings. In the end, the question of Emily Rose’s neglect becomes secondary to the determination of whether or not the devil is real. No matter what the outcome of the movie, the answer to this puzzle will definitely be foremost on the minds of those who leave the theater.Starring Laura Linney, Tom WIlkinson. Running time: 119 minutes. Theatrical release September 8, 2005. Updated May 4, 2009
Exorcism of Emily Rose Parents' Guide
Despite our relatively low grades in the content areas, this film deals with very mature topics. Parents of teens interested in seeing this film would be well advised to view it with them, and then be prepared to discuss the subject of spiritual possession.

The market has experienced historic levels of volatility since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020. There was the initial shock delivered by worldwide lockdowns, the monstrous rebound, the advent of meme stocks, and fears over inflation, an overvalued market, as well as the ongoing pandemic.
As investors and economists sort out their concerns about the state of the market, offering clients a long-term perspective is key. Focusing on a long-term approach can help minimize anxiety in the short term and help clients better understand their overall financial goals.
- Some level of volatility is a sign of a normal and healthy market and not a reason to panic.
- Focusing on a long-term approach to investing will relieve short-term anxiety about large selloffs.
- Investment brokers should use the opportunity to help their clients better understand their overall financial goals.
- For younger and more proactive investors who believe the market will be higher in 20 or 30 years, this may be an opportunity to rebalance and buy more stocks while they are down.
Staying the Course
“I am telling clients that being a little bit scared, or at least spooked by this quick drop in the market is not unusual,” says Blair duQuesnay, Investment Advisor Representative at Ritholtz Wealth Management. “Yet for those of us that are long-term investors rather than speculators trading by the seat of our pants—we knew this was going to happen. These are normal, necessary, and dare I say, healthy, characteristics of the stock market.”
Her advice is echoed by Justin Castelli of RSL Wealth Management. When it comes to worried clients, “I remind them that we've worked through situations similar to this before and sticking with their plan is the best course of action,” he says. “Retirees have their income needs out of the market, which allows their equities time to recover, and young professionals have a long term horizon allowing them to ride it out.”
Looking for Opportunities in a Volatile Market
Offering context for market volatility can go a long way in reassuring clients about their long-term financial security and helping them understand a sharp downturn as a temporary setback. And for those clients who may want to take a more proactive approach, helping them to understand current market conditions can offer new avenues for investing.
“The other side of the coin is looking for opportunities,” says Douglas Boneparth, President of Bone Fide Wealth. “The conversations I have with my clients focus on two things: Is there any room in their portfolios to buy equities? If they can afford to do so, is there additional cash they can afford to invest in cheaper stocks?” He emphasizes that this type of strategy needs to be part of a well-developed financial plan and something that you ideally prepare for long before it happens. “These are things that you establish with your client before this type of volatility happens—and it’s all done to help remove as much emotion as possible,” he explains.
For clients who are more cautious but still looking for a proactive way to deal with the selloff, rebalancing could also be a good option. “Every market selloff is 'different' in some way,” says duQuesnay. “If you believe the market will be higher in 20 or 30 years, this may be an opportunity to rebalance and buy more stocks while they are down.”
The Bottom Line
While addressing investor fears can feel challenging, the advisors we spoke with agreed that planning ahead and offering clients a long-term perspective are the keys to weathering the storm. “Even with the best planning, this can be difficult,” says Boneparth. “What great planners do best is to help their clients navigate the behavioral components of investing.”


Georgia Democrats have gained three legislative seats in Tuesday's special elections.
Deborah Gonzalez bested Houston Gaines to represent the Athens area, replacing former Athens Republican Rep. Regina Quick, who was appointed to a judgeship in August.
A four-way race to replace Republican Chuck Williams in the House went to first-time Democratic candidate Jonathan Wallace. A software engineer, Wallace bested three Republicans to win the seat outright in the traditionally conservative district. Williams was appointed in August to head the Georgia Forestry Commission.
And in the Atlanta area, Democrats Jaha Howard and Jen Jordan topped the field of eight in the race to replace former Sen. Hunter Hill with about half of the votes tallied as of midnight. Hill, a Smyrna Republican who resigned from the Senate to run for governor, flipped the newly redrawn district in 2012.
Howard, a pediatric dentist, and Jordan, an attorney, will face each other Dec. 5 in a runoff election.

The Brazilian forward is rated as one of the best talents in world football, and he has long been linked with a move away from Porto.
And according to his agent, it appears as though Harry Redknapp has set his sights on a deal for the 26-year-old Hulk, who would cost a club record £35million.
“In the last week or so, I have been talking to four Premier League clubs about Hulk, and Tottenham are one of them,” Theodoro Fonseca is quoted in the Daily Mail.

text: We report the results of research into the experiences of young carers in Barnardo’s Young Carers and Action for Children Young Carers projects. The study involved in-depth interviews with young carers, with the aim of better understanding, from their perspective, the impact of caring on their lives. We employed the ten-item Adverse Childhood Experiences questionnaire in secondary analysis of the data. Results reveal that numbers of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) ranged from zero to six, with only four children out of twenty-two having a score of 0. The subgroup (sixteen) with a parent with a mental illness had a mean ACE score of 2.375. Further dividing this group into those with additional ACEs (ten) and those with one (six) offered a mean of 3.2 for the first group and 1 for the latter. By contrast, the mean for the group caring for those with physical disability/illness (six) was 0.5. Actual ACE scores are likely to be higher. These results merit further research involving larger numbers. Implications for practitioners and policy makers include screening for ACEs in assessments and development of bespoke services to meet the needs of those with high ACE scores, in this case, young carers with a parent with a mental illness.

The Bold Type has been trending for a while now, ever since it released on Netflix India. Most of my girlfriends urged me to watch it, deeming it to be the ‘Sex and the City’ for the woke times. And it is. It seems like the writers of the show took all the modern, woke, millennial issues and made a checklist. Then ticked them off, threw them one by one on the characters regardless of their journey.
I use the word woke because it’s been overspoken as well as oversold in the series. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed bingeing on this show, but at some point it became excrutiatingly painful to look at the lead characters (even supporting ones) make decisions that were so out of character for them, it felt like the writers were being held on the gunpoint of popularity and social relevance.
The three protagonists are what hold the show together, but there’s the supporting characters who make a larger mark here. Jane, Sutton and Kat are best of friends, and the most important people in each other’s lives. So much so that their friendship makes each woman out there envy, except those who do have such friends in their lives. It made me crave the kind of bond they have – but the feeling passes after looking at their borderline co-dependency. There are a lot of ways I can talk about it. But let’s go character wise and the millennial issues they deal with.
She’s the ‘writer’ filling in for the Carrie Bradshaw stereotype – single writer in New York gallivanting with girlfriends and navigating life by being organised to the point of Monica but has the decision making powers of Gunther. But, according to Jane, Jane ’empowers women’ for a living through her writing. Right. How many stories does she even write?
I worked in a magazine, believe me I did not have time to go pee in the second half of the month towards the closing, and the first half would be dozen rejections through the first week, getting approval in the second one to a story that my editor FINALLY liked, and then furiously spend hours typing a story and proofing it a gazillion times myself. Jane? Oh she has the time to be in the fashion closet, restaurants, drinking, hanging out, anything but writing as much as she should.
Her issues range from boyfriend troubles to a genetic health condition which is talked about openly in the entire show. This is one aspect that really made me want to look deeper into my own life than just be working from home right now and cribbing about my green tea stock getting over. The BRCA1 gene mutation – that increases the risk of breast cancer in women – is something that every woman needs to consider getting checked for. It’s a commentary on American health care system and how it affects women in particular.
In India, the test for BRCA mutation itself costs up to Rs 20,000 (I just skimmed through the internet but this is the tentative figure I have. Apologies for inaccuracy) Mammograms cost lesser in India, upto Rs 5,000 so atleast while one approaches their 30s, getting one done is precautionary. I do need to speak to my doctor about this, but just speaking my mind out here. The one amazing thing that came out of Jane’s character is the heathcare awareness.
But while her character has been shown to battle something as grim as this, there is a stark contrast in the tone of the show as while on one hand her entire character arc for the majority of the show was based on this illness that took her mother, on the other hand she’s gallivanting with Ryan ‘Pinstripe’, then dumping him because of him being a Casanova and moves on to the cute Aussie-accented doctor Ben Chau.
Ben, after knowing about her condition, goes through detailed research and passes it on to Jane. Jane then goes to a shady little bar in Harrisburg to ‘help Sutton’. Because God forbid if either of these three women want to face something directly. While the three of them are the most important parts of each others lives, or, ‘a package deal’, their relationship at times seems too co-dependent. As if they’d stop breathing if one of them wasn’t there.
Coming back, Jane’s journey goes from being a new writer to having her own vertical by Season 4. Impressive career graph for someone who actually does not know much how journalism works and passing off harsh, stuck up opinions as ‘award winning article’. (And the number of times ‘article’ is said in the series blows my mind. As if not calling it that will make it a school girl’s essay.) Jane grows as a writer in the show, but as a human being, I doubt. She dumps The Good Doctor Ben and goes back to Ryan the Casanova the second he makes googly eyes at her. He then cheats on her. *dun dun dun* *audible gasp* I AM (not) SHOCKED! How could a Casanova who self-admittedly is not into committing suddenly become a ‘cute boy next door love of Jane’s life’?
Jane’s career is no different. There’s style, panache and a whole lot of unnecessary drama. She actually complained about being White and not having access to White privilege. She has zero regard for orders from the Editor and chases ‘the truth’ like a crime reporter from a Madhur Bhandarkar movie while wearing 6 inch stilletos and strutting through NYC being the biggest passive victim lamb.
Another issue addressed by the writers here is gun control. Sutton has a shotgun for recreational purpose – skeet shooting to be precise. An entire episode is spent by her colleages and friends to convince her that Sutton won’t shoot anyone, and Sutton had her own deep seated issues and reasons to keep it. Her early teen years were spent there where she felt safe and in control. Somehow by the end of it through a very ridiculous monologue by Jane (even after trying skeet shooting and knowing it’s harmless), Jane says I cannot sleep in the house with that. Viola! Sutton throws away one piece of her childhood due to an ameteurish speech from a stuck up dumbo.
Jane is fine through the first season, admirable even with the kind of vision she has. We’re all young and naiive enough at that point. But, instead of growing as a character, she becomes a cry baby victim lamb, and then that annoying little character who you can’t wait for to shut up.
I fell in love with her initially. She was headstrong, determined, relentless, tenacious and oh-so-beautiful. Right from the first season where she demands ‘more’ in a relationship from Richard, not wanting to be his dirty little secret, to taking risks in her career and becoming a lot more as a person.
Sutton has mommy issues. She’s seen life the hard way. The way she rises though the ranks in the office is so inspiring that a younger viewer will idealize her as a career mentor. Sutton’s character sees the most consistent growth unlike Jane and Kat who oscillate between ridiculous to stuck up every few episodes. Those ladies don’t know how to let go and be smart about their lives. Sutton does. Like the modern woman that she is, she puts her career first.
She lets go Richard when she thinks he is not good for her career, and dating a board member of her company would nullify her success. You go, girl! That’s when I root for her and Richard to be endgame. I want a Richard too, infact. Supportive, feminist, knows how cook AND do laundry, is a total cinnamon roll on the inside but MAN is he one of the most ruggedly handsome men I’ve seen on screen!
Sutton really seems to have made it. From an assistant to stylist, her journey reminds me of my own. While I have been a reporter for a living for 8 long years, it is Sutton’s hustle that is reminiscent of my own.
But, all’s not rosy. If Jane was a Gunther and Monica, Sutton’s a flaky Phoebe. Sutton, in a minute wants to become a stylist. She becomes one. Then she wants to become a designer. She enrolls in a design seminar and almost becomes one. But then, she wants to become a stylist again because ‘I had to know I want to become a stylist and not a designer by becoming a designer first’. Hmm. For someone so decisive, in control and having taken care of her mother all her life, Sutton’s surely not herself. Yes, we’re allowed to be confused, but making a character act totally out of it is the writer’s mistake here and it did not go down well with me.
Her now-on-now-off relationship with Richard finally sees a ray of light when they reveal their relationship to the world. Seeing Richard fly to Paris just to get her back is possibly one of the most romantic scenes there is. They go steady for a bit, Richard proposes and Sutton says yes. For some reason her self-assuredness goes for a toss here.
She tells Richard she wants to move to San Fransisco with him. But she gets a promotion at Scarlet. Her Plan A was to move with Richard and use her 70K followers for a job as a stylist. Question: does the west coast have no fashion magazines? Boutiques? Fashion houses? Will Sutton not find a job anywhere as a stylist?
That’s what she feels and ON THE GODDAMN WEDDING DAY she tells Richard she cannot move with him. Her logic: I did not know how much I wanted this job until it was offerred to me. But, was Sutton not the most clear headed one knowing exactly what she wanted? Richard compromises for a long distance after a brief ‘gyaan-sesh’ with Jacqueline. Finally they get married.
Not much later, the writers decide to pop another major issue, which I appreciate is being brought up, but the way it is executed is downright embarassing. I was bored through the entire set of episodes that time.
Sutton gets pregnant and is really excited. She is stressing about becoming a good mother, but she’s still happy with Richard and the way things are moving forward. The miscarries the baby, but she has a mental breakdown – of relief. Okay.
Later, she has one good day at work. One. And she decides she does not want kids because she cannot have good days like those anymore. My point is, YES it is her body and she is pro-choice. I am too. And it’s okay to not even know if she wants to have kids or not. The confusion is valid but keeping Richard not even in the know is not. Her explanation: I had to suffer a miscarriage to know I did not want kids. Did she not have this conversation with Richard before they got married? Is it also not Richard’s right to know your decision? Or atleast your doubts about it if not decision? I felt that this whole power to choose idea was not executed well.
It breaks my heart when Richard says “one of us loses out of this, and I’m sick of it always being me.” Her character may have been flaky, but the S4 finale really outdid itself when it came to mocking everything Sutton fought for to be with Richard, and mocking her character itself. That hurt.
There’s a whole episode around astrology in the show, where it’s repeatedly shown Kat’s a Gemini. But her traits are really not. I know my fair share of astrology. She’s an Aquarius. Did they show Gemini just to represent her bisexuality? Or maybe I just read too much into it considering how Kat’s annoyance spikes up with a steep vertical post season 2.
She’s the youngest social media director at Scarlet. Is a daughter of two shrinks (repeated every episode maybe). And has an identity crisis about her black roots. Now this, I do not relate a lot with because in India, social system doesn’t just credit you on colour, but caste, sub-caste, religion, academic position, residential area and everything else one can imagine. There may be some similarities in the social structure, but looking at Kat not wanting to be identified as ‘first black social media director’ because her mother is white and father is black, and both are psychiatrists, I sort of did not expect it. Again, I cannot relate to it, so perhaps found that bit confusing.
Kat was the most likeable characters. Until she decides to run for city council. She’s 26. Not that I’m an age-ist (is that a word) but she is impulsive, irrational and most of all, inexperienced.
But the most important part that she is in the show for, is be the poster child for LGBTQ community, demanding equality. I really liked her transformation, especially with Adena. I was rooting for them. Until it became just another toxic relationship. Later, Kat realises she’s bi. And the next time she’s pegging a guy, and she seems to be into him as much as he into her but he just disappears from the show.
Her own sexual confusion apart, her character does bring out some really important issues on the table. Problems of those struggling with gender identity that interferes in their daily routine as well as hobbies, helping people come out of closet and be supportive, the prejudce against bisexuals in the lesbian community (this I did not know but I gotta find out) and perhaps promoting the freedom of simply being – Kat, the lover of people.
Her motive to do something larger for the community and society is a great one. But Kat’s attempts to be mature and solve things end up being just like her – young and not mature enough. It’s okay to make mistakes, but not willingly sabotage all that you have built in your life. Just like Jane, Kat too needs to know when to let go.
Despite repeatedly hammering the nail in the form of the line ‘shrink’s kid’, Kat is surprisingly confused and really knows how to set an example to make the wrong decisions at the worst possible times. What are the writers smoking while doing this?
While Kat’s ‘finding your own voice’ trope is fantastic and did put a lot of things into perspective for me, it was so overdone after a point that I felt sick of it. Her impulse is her downfall, and the writers did absolutely nothing to make her grow. She’s still impulsive and now dating a queer Republican after getting her father fired. Kudos, Kat!
Kat’s character was probably the best among the 3. I like how she’s open to everything but at the same time her character did not grow at all. She’s the same impulsive, emotional fool she was at the start of the show.
It’s a great show to binge, no doubt. But the unconditionally fair treatment of these woke millennial women and glorifying their mistakes as ‘cool’ is not what I expected. Their office is a slice of heaven, their boss is an angel without wings (Jan Levinson, who knew you had it in you!), their colleagues the most understanding and their lives a modern version of SATC.
This is my dream life, not the decisions, but the life itself. The Bold Type is a show for those looking for a Utopia to escape in an alternate reality where everything they do is validated, coddled and friends are more blood-bound soulmates, couple of notches way higher than just sisters from another misters.
Created by former showrunner Sarah Watson, the drama has had three of those change over its run, and it is evident in S4. As the show returns from final season, I look forward to more of Alex, Jacqueline, Oliver and Richard finding happiness. As for these three, they have the ‘wokeness’ immunity. I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Yet to enjoy the benefits, owners of second homes face a few major responsibilities. Among the most important is protecting their properties — and their financial investments — against life’s unexpected events. Having sufficient insurance for your home-away-from-home can help protect your vacation haven — and your finances.
The reality of property ownership is that unfortunate events — such as fires, tornadoes and burglaries — may occur. At minimum, it’s important to have homeowners’ insurance coverage so you can protect the structure of the home itself. If your vacation home is damaged – or worse yet, destroyed — your policy should provide the resources you need to recover or rebuild. With replacement cost coverage, you should be able to replace most of what was lost and rebuild what was damaged.
Oftentimes, second-home purchasers are tempted to skimp on their vacation home insurance coverage. The reason? These vacation homeowners believe only a basic, bare-bones policy is needed because the property is not their primary residence.
This line of thinking may be shortsighted because vacation homes tend to be in locations and have features that make additional insurance important.
For example, floods and earthquakes are excluded under basic homeowners’ insurance policies. If your vacation home is along a coastline, river or lake, it may be worthwhile to extend your coverage against these types of natural disasters.
In addition, vacation homes often come with “attractive nuisances,” like trampolines, floating docks and swimming platforms — all fun toys that may result in costly expenses due to accidents that may not be covered by your basic insurance.
Whether you’re present or not, if a guest or stranger is injured on your property, you may be held liable if the accident is deemed the result of property-owner negligence. The appropriate insurance policy can provide coverage for those types of expenses.
To gain the best protection for your particular property, talk with a qualified insurance representative about additional coverage options that may be right for you. These could include:
Umbrella policy coverage – This covers identified costs over and above the dollar limits of an underlying policy, and it may give you peace of mind for many unexpected situations.
Liability coverage – If you are hurt in an accident or sued for a mishap on your property, expenses could include medical and other costs. Make sure your policy covers these expenses with adequate limits of coverage.
Boat and personal watercraft coverage – Your watercraft may be eligible for coverage under your homeowners’ policy, depending on its size, type or other characteristics. Whether it’s covered or not, you may still benefit from specialized coverages not available under a homeowners’ policy. For example, watersports liability coverage provides protection when towing a waterskier or tube with your boat.
Once you select the right insurance policy for your vacation home, it’s important to review your policy annually — to make sure your current coverage is adequate and to update coverage for any improvements you’ve made to the property.
Evaluating and choosing your insurance coverage is an important step in the vacation home buying process — one that is often neglected. Make sure your dream vacation home has the full insurance coverage and options that keep it as stress-free as a vacation home should be.

The avenue, the place trains journey alongside a observe simply inches away from properties and companies within the Vietnam capital, has lengthy been some of the fashionable vacationer websites in Hanoi and an everyday favourite on social media.
However, additionally it is harmful. The prepare observe continues to be operational, and there have been safety points with vacationers who like to sit, lie down and pose on the tracks.
All of them have till September 17 to close.
Authorities are reportedly placing up barricades to maintain vacationers out of “Train Street.”

Shop homeowners have been reportedly given just some days’ discover.
The closure has been met with combined reactions from individuals who reside on and close to Train Street and depend on vacationers for a residing.
“It would be better if we, local people and the authorities can cooperate for developing our Train Street,” one cafe proprietor — who requested anonymity as a result of worry of reprisal from the native authorities — informed CNN Travel.
They mentioned that revenue from tourism had helped restore their house, elevate high quality of life and assist older family members.
“This closure shall affect directly on our earning,” the proprietor added.

Better Skin after Pamper Evening
This week I feel that my skin is better. I feel that this is because of the things I did in my pamper evening last Monday, the running, yoga and more fruit in the morning. :)
I will write about the skin are product I used during the pumper evening later.
Here is a photo if the day. I have no make up on, but my skin is in natural red. Feeling happy!

text: Being among the most challenging of clinical targets for cancer immunotherapy are Tumor Associated Carbohydrate Bipenquinate Antigens (TACAs). Tissue from CMP immunized mice were analyzed using eosin and hematoxylin stain and Luxol-fast blue staining for myelination. Traditional western blots of membranes from murine mammary 4T1 cells syngeneic with BALB/c mice had been also likened using Bipenquinate GS-I immunized serum antibodies and naive serum antibodies. CMP immunization improved glycan Bipenquinate reactivities without proof pathological autoimmunity in virtually any immunized mice demonstrating that injury isn’t an inevitable effect of TACA reactive replies. (GS-I) which recognizes α-galactosyl moieties. GS-I is normally an assortment of isolectins that bind to Galα1-3Gal and α-GalNAc terminal sets of disaccharides. GS-I is regarded as a surrogate marker to recognize tumor portrayed antigens reactive with α-Gal antibodies  and GS-I is normally of tool to interrogate α-GalNAc appearance on both individual and murine tissue . The cross-reactivity of GS-I with murine and individual cells Bipenquinate and tissues can therefore be utilized to assess pathology in preclinical basic safety studies of immune system replies to CMPs using the potential to cross-react with mono- and disaccharide moieties as the appearance of GS-1 reactive antigens are presumed to become ubiquitously portrayed in mice. Our present research demonstrate that activation of TACA reactive immune system replies induced by CMP 107 and CMP 106 to an even enough to mediate healing anti-tumor immunity may appear without the advancement of adverse immune system pathology in mice within a preclinical basic safety research of CMPs. This low level immune system response probably plays a part in having less immune pathology connected with regular mouse tissues. The observation of a minimal level response to CMPs 106 and 107 albeit more than enough to mediate tumor development inhibition shifts the paradigm in convinced that a sturdy anti-tumor response is necessary for a highly effective therapy. These outcomes clearly demonstrate dazzling context awareness in the immune recognition of endothelial cells expressing carbohydrate antigens a subtlety that must be better comprehended for inducing immunity to tissue rejection antigens made up of TACA to treat cancer and minimize complications involving immune pathology responses. 2 and Discussion 2.1 Tissue Distribution of GS-I Binding Is Restricted The GS-I isotypes GS-I-B4 and GS-I-A4 bind to group B and group A antigens respectively and exhibit strong binding to broadly expressed Galα1-2 Galα1-3 and Galα1-4 glycans . Carbohydrate residues reactive with GS-I were previously shown to be present on the surface of highly malignant murine tumors but absent or FGF8 expressed in much lower amounts on the surface of low malignant cells isolated from the same parent tumors . To further study the expression pattern of GS-I-reactive glycans on tumors we implanted murine 4T1 cells into mammary fat pads of a group of mice and at day 35 post-transplant mice were euthanized and sections of liver lung and primary tumor mass were prepared and stained with GS-I. The 4T1 model closely resembles human breast cancer and is a rigorous model of advanced spontaneous metastatic disease which metastasizes efficiently to lung liver bone and brain after implantation into mammary fat pads . Tumor cells in liver and lung metastases as well as the primary tumor were stained with GS-I and staining in sections of metastatic lung and liver lesions were more intense than staining in the primary tumor (Physique 1). Lung metastases were detected as early as day 14 after transplantation in all mice tested while liver metastases were detected between day 28 and day 35 after transplantation. In normal tissues other than hematopoietic cells at the same lectin concentration (2.5 μg/mL GS-I) GS-I staining was limited to endothelial cells and neurons (Determine 2) and was much less intense than Bipenquinate the staining in either primary tumor sections or metastatic tumors. These results suggest that tumor cells on both primary 4T1 tumors and their metastases are enriched for GS-I binding sites compared with normal tissues. Our findings are.

Health Benefits of a Good Night's Sleep
Updated: Oct 10
We all know how important it is to get a good night's sleep, and yet people are chronically sleep-deprived due to the many pressures and responsibilities of modern life.
The advent of smartphones has also changed the sleeping game for the worse. With never-ending social media feeds in the palms of our hands and the blue light everywhere, it seems like we're fighting an upward battle in our efforts to get enough sleep.
The thing is, when we do experience a good night's sleep, we feel amazing. We have more energy, we're less moody and we make better decisions. Can you imagine feeling that way every day?
If you can manage to get enough sleep every night, which ranges between 7-9 hours for a healthy adult, then your whole life can change.
Think that's an exaggeration? Think again.
Here are 7 health benefits of consistently getting a good night's sleep.
1. Elevated mood
You don't need science to tell you that when you get a night's sleep, you feel good. Of course, there are numerous scientific studies that prove the connection between sleep and mood. When you don't get enough sleep, you tend to be cranky and irritable, but when you do get enough sleep, you feel calm and at ease. Moreover, people who get enough sleep are less at-risk for depression, while people with insomnia have a tenfold risk of developing depression. While insomnia is a sleep disorder and not the same as just staying up late and scrolling through your phone, both can result in depression and should be addressed.
2. Reduced stress
Like depression, stress and sleep are interrelated. On the one hand, people who are stressed have a hard time falling asleep, but on the other hand, people who get enough sleep are less stressed. It's a cycle that can be hard to break, but when you finally are able to get enough sleep, you will probably find that you are less stressed throughout the day.
3. Improved memory
Sleep triggers changes in the brain that improve our memory, including strengthening connections between brain cells and transferring information between regions. Additionally, healthy sleep makes it easier to process and retain the information we receive throughout the day.
4. Reduced risk of certain cancers
Sleep is a time when the body's cells are able to repair themselves, so the lack of sleep means that your cells won't be in their best state. Additionally, lack of sleep results in lower levels of melatonin, a hormone that plays a role in protecting against DNA damage. Therefore, it makes sense that people who endure a continual lack of sleep can be more susceptible to certain cancers.
5. Help fighting infections
Similar to cancer prevention, getting enough sleep can also improve the ability of your body's immune cells to fight infection. The flip side is that if you don't get enough sleep, the body's immune response can be damaged and it will be more difficult to stave off or heal from infections.
6. Lowered blood pressure
Sleep is a time when the body is able to rest and regulate itself, and blood pressure is certainly included in this. When your body doesn't have enough of a resting period, it can lead to high blood pressure. The good news is that as soon as you start getting enough shut-eye, you can see your blood pressure drop back to normal (assuming you don't have other health issues).
7. Help to maintain weight
Sleep and weight maintenance are related in several ways. First, if you go to sleep at an earlier hour, there is less time in the day to consume calories. No midnight snacking means doing away with all those unwanted calories. Secondly, when you sleep, your body gets re-energized so that it doesn't need to seek energy during the day from extra calories. And on a physiological level, lack of sleep causes your body to produce hunger-causing hormones leptin and ghrelin. It also causes your fat cells to lose their ability to use insulin properly, which can lead to fat build-up and even diabetes.
With so much at stake, there's really no reason not to make getting enough sleep a top priority. When you get enough sleep, your entire quality of life can improve. When you have a high quality of life according to our QL5 Index, you also qualify for lower rates on life insurance.
Sproutt insurance advisors are available to help you determine what kind of life insurance is best for you. Simply answer a few questions and we will find the best-value plan for your lifestyle, needs, and budget.

Imagine being in a courtroom where a defendant unexpectedly loses their composure, yelling and causing a scene. Incidents like this have led to mistrials, added charges, and longer sentences for those involved.
The importance of proper conduct in the courtroom can’t be overstated for both defendants and attorneys. For defendants, your behavior heavily influences how you’re viewed by the judge and jury, which can directly impact your case’s outcome. For attorneys, maintaining a professional demeanor upholds your reputation and ensures the trial stays focused on the evidence and facts.
The Importance of Courtroom Etiquette
Courtroom etiquette is essential for a fair trial because it sets the stage for an orderly, respectful process. The courtroom is a place where life-changing decisions are made. Every participant’s conduct can either contribute to or detract from the objectivity and fairness of these decisions. In short, good behavior supports the justice system’s integrity.
On the flip side, poor behavior can create a host of problems. When a defendant or attorney acts out, it distracts everyone involved, including the judge and jury. This can lead to implicit biases or cloud their judgment, making it difficult to focus solely on the case’s facts. In extreme cases, it could even result in mistrials or additional charges, complicating the legal process further.
For Defendants: Common Mistakes To Avoid
Dressing appropriately for court is more than just a matter of style. It’s a sign of respect for the judicial process. Your appearance can form a first impression, influencing how seriously the judge and jury take your case. Dressing well demonstrates that you understand the gravity of the situation.
Speaking out of turn is another big no-no in court. The courtroom follows a strict protocol to ensure the process is fair and organized. Interrupting or speaking without permission disrupts this process and could even lead to contempt of court charges. Wait for your turn to speak, and always follow the guidance of your attorney and the judge.
Lastly, maintaining a respectful attitude toward all parties is crucial. Disrespectful behavior, whether through body language, tone, or words, can undermine your credibility and the integrity of the legal process. Always address the judge, opposing counsel, and other court officials respectfully to help ensure a fair and smooth trial.
For Attorneys: Pitfalls To Steer Clear Of
Overstepping ethical boundaries is a quick way to damage your reputation and credibility. For attorneys, it’s essential to stick to the guidelines of the legal profession. Violating these could jeopardize your case and put your career at risk. Therefore, always adhere to ethical practices and maintain the highest standards of conduct.
Ignoring the judge’s instructions is also a serious mistake that can have significant repercussions. Judges set the rules in the courtroom, and failing to comply could result in penalties for your client. In some cases, it can lead to a case being thrown out. Always listen carefully and follow the judge’s directives to keep the trial on track.
Being unprepared in the courtroom is unacceptable for defendants and attorneys. Lack of preparation can be glaringly obvious and negatively impact the trial’s outcome. Whether having all necessary documents ready or being able to recall key facts, being prepared is crucial for establishing a strong case.
The Role of Technology

Smartphones are a modern convenience, but they can be a significant distraction in a courtroom. Most courts require people to turn off their phones or set them to silent mode to maintain decorum. A ringing phone disrupts the concentration of everyone present, from the judge to the jury. It could even result in contempt of court charges for the offending party.
Social media poses another set of challenges. Sharing details of ongoing cases could potentially taint the jury pool or violate confidentiality agreements. Even seemingly innocent posts can be considered prejudicial and could lead to legal repercussions. It’s best to refrain from discussing or sharing anything related to the case on social media until it’s resolved.
High-Profile Case Study
The State of Georgia vs. Denver Fenton Allen case is a prime example of what not to do in a courtroom. Allen, who represented himself, engaged in inappropriate exchanges with the judge and displayed disruptive behavior. This resulted in additional charges for contempt of court, further complicating his case.
The behaviors exhibited by Allen and the tense atmosphere in the courtroom underline the previous points on maintaining etiquette. The case is a cautionary tale about the significance of proper courtroom etiquette.
The lessons are straightforward but crucial. Adhering to courtroom rules, maintaining a professional demeanor, and being well-prepared are essential. Not only do they help in ensuring a fair trial, but they also preserve the integrity of the judicial system. Allen’s case is a glaring example of what happens when people ignore these guidelines.
The Pillars of Courtroom Decorum
It’s essential to avoid common courtroom mistakes to ensure a smooth and fair trial. Dress appropriately to make a good first impression, speak only when it’s your turn, and maintain a respectful attitude. For attorneys, sticking to ethical guidelines, following the judge’s instructions, and being well-prepared are equally crucial.
The CEO of ClearwayLaw, Alistair Vigier, says that “Maintaining courtroom decorum goes beyond just good manners. It’s a foundational element for a just and efficient legal process. Your conduct can significantly influence the outcome of your case and the overall integrity of the judicial system.”
Your behavior in court matters. Do your part to uphold the dignity and fairness of the judicial process. Next time you step into a courtroom, remember these guidelines and make a conscious effort to adhere to them. By doing so, you contribute to a more just and efficient legal system.

New Holstein Utilities will be working jointly with the City of New Holstein and the Calumet County Highway Department to make infrastructure improvements on Mason Street, from Wisconsin Avenue to the south city limits. Weather permitting the project will begin in late March and be completed in approximately 12 weeks. Detour routes have been established for use during the construction.
In an effort to prevent the freeze up of water laterals, New Holstein Utilities is advising residential and small business customers located in the City of New Holstein to run water at their properties. Water only needs to be run at one faucet and should be run at a flow between 3/16" and 1/4" (a little less than a pencil width). The flow of water through the water laterals and interior piping can help prevent the freezing of pipes.

Too often with brand films, it's easy to add a quick, off-the-shelf soundtrack in an attempt to drive the action or pluck at those emotional heart strings. But opting for no music, and instead keeping the sounds in the film natural and raw, can be a more powerful approach.
With everything from the score to the sound effects, there is so much opportunity for creativity and experimentation in sound design. I first became aware of the power of sound in film in my college days. I had a film tutor who continually impressed upon his students that sound is as important, if not more, than visuals and showed us that without the clever use of audio, the emotion of a piece of work simply won't translate.
Our film for Continental Tyres, which follows the 2018 Tour de France champion Geraint Thomas as he descends a mountain at speed, has no soundtrack and no voiceover. It just conveys the naturally occurring sounds of the tires against the road, the gears, brakes and Geraint himself, taking the viewer as close as possible to the experience.
This was Continental Tyres' first film with Geraint as its brand ambassador, and we wanted to create something that would feel authentic to the cycling community and stand out—not just another action-packed cycling film. Our idea was to convey a sense of being "on board" with Geraint and create an immersive experience for the audience, without relying on a soundtrack to get the mood and the energy across.
We started by choosing a road and location in the south of France that would not only be visually interesting but that would give rise to a variety of sounds when in contact with the bike. The famous Route de Thorenc became our playground, with plenty of twists and turns winding through the natural rocky tunnels.
As well as mic-ing up Geraint himself, we built an audio recording rig to attach to his bike, which picked up every sound emanating from the bike's components, including the vibrations of its frame as it passed over the road.
Audio was also at the forefront of the creative process during postproduction. In the edit, we looked at letting certain shots run a little longer so the layers of audio could be heard. We allowed the quiet moments to be quiet before changing mood, as Geraint rushed through the rocky tunnels of Route de Thorenc. We worked to enhance the drama of the sound to really engage and excite the audience while staying true to the experience. Focusing as much on the sound as the visuals on the shoot and in postproduction presented its own unique set of challenges, but the payoff was that we produced a distinctly authentic film that draws the audience in.
Every time we work with an athlete on a brand project, our priority is to create something they feel is true to them and that they will be proud and excited to share. There is a real sense of intimacy with Geraint in this film. We can hear his breathing throughout the descent, and we get a unique insight into his incredible skill. It was very important to him to create a piece of work that reflected his approach to the sport and that would resonate with the audience. Sound was crucial to this.
Too often, sound design is low on the priority list when it comes to creating branded content. Social media is littered with poor-quality short videos designed to be played with the sound off. Rather than being considered a crucial part of how a film is crafted, sound is often an afterthought, with the result that the core message and emotional impact is lost.
Taking a creative approach to sound, however, shapes a film into something completely unexpected. And, crucially, at a time when audiences have more to distract them than ever before, it has the power to make people sit up and listen.

Forensic experts at the University of Abertay Dundee and the Scottish Police Services Authority (SPSA) are leading the way in the research of new ground-breaking forensic techniques within the field of fingerprints.
The new research seeks to recover fingerprint ridge detail and impressions from fabrics -- a technique that has up until now proved difficult. It is the first time in more than 30 years that fingerprints on fabrics have been a major focus for research and the team have already had a number of successes.
A technique known as vacuum metal deposition (VMD) that uses gold and zinc to recover the fingerprint mark is being investigated as part of the research project. VMD is a highly sensitive technique already used to detect fingerprint marks on smooth surfaces such as carrier bags, plastics and glass.
The current research study by the University of Abertay Dundee and SPSA forensic experts is exploring its use in the examination of clothing and the potential value it could bring to a police investigation.
Joanna Fraser, a forensic sciences researcher at the University of Abertay Dundee, said: "The research uses fine layers of metals to display fingerprints people may have left on fabrics, something which is far harder to do with soft surfaces. The technique has been around since the 1970s and is used on many surface but was never widely used on fabrics.
"We take these fabrics, place them in a vacuum chamber, then heat up gold to evaporate it and spread a fine film over the fabric. We then heat up zinc, which attaches to the gold where there are no fingerprint residues. This helps reveal the fingerprint -- where contact has been made we see the original fabric, where there was no contact we're left with the grey colour of the metal film."
She added: "One way of explaining it is like a photographic negative, where colours show up as their opposites. Here the fingerprint ridges show through as clear fabric, but where there are no ridges we see the distinctive grey colour of the metal.
"Previously it had proved difficult to reveal a clear fingerprint on fabric, but we've shown that this is now possible. This is great, but the challenge is to develop this further and confirm its effectiveness."
Paul Deacon, fingerprint unit manager at the Scottish Police Services Authority (SPSA) and one of the experts on the project said: "Fingerprints have been used as a means of identification for over 100 years but recovering fingerprints from fabrics has always proven to be fairly difficult. We wanted to change that.
"The research is still in its early stages but we are starting to see results. We have shown that fabrics with a high thread count are best for revealing a print and have recovered identifiable fingerprints on a number of fabrics including silk, nylon and polyester."
Only 20 per cent of the public are classed as "good donors" for leaving fingerprints, so while the success rate is still low for recovering a full fingerprint from items of clothing, the researchers have had great success in revealing the shape of a handprint on a number of fabric types.
Paul Deacon added: "Such an impression could help the police piece together a timeline of events and could be used to provide evidence in cases where someone was pushed, or grabbed, in a particular area of their clothing.
"For example, an impression of a palm print on the back of someone's shirt might indicate they were pushed off a balcony, rather than jumping. Fingerprints left on fabric and other surfaces can leave DNA traces, so it can also help forensic scientists to visualise the best area to target on an item of clothing to recover DNA evidence."
Director of SPSA Forensic Services Tom Nelson said: "Used on its own fingerprints and impressions recovered on fabrics will not necessarily convict a criminal but used alongside other evidence it will present a more robust case to the court.
"I am determined that we continue to balance the consolidation of the core forensic support we provide to the police and the Crown, with new innovations and techniques. This is just one such innovation we are pursuing as we strive to ensure that forensics makes an even greater contribution to convicting the guilty and protecting the public."

Coming into Tuesday night’s contest, Coach Al Rosen was 1-3 against his former team, the Gadsden Panthers, but can now chalk up the total in the win column by sweeping Gadsden, 16, 10, 21 on Tuesday night.
Centennial’s tour-de-force offense was hitting on all cylinders, as senior OH Savannah Bush racked up 15 kills/4 blocks and Jadyn Nañez picked up 11 kills/2 blocks. Both MacKenzie McGuire and Amanda Gill contributed 12 assists as the Lady Hawks kept the Panther on their heels for most of the night.
“We struggled. We struggled passing, and in volleyball if you can’t pass, that’s whats going to happen,” said Gadsden head coach Priscilla Jaramillo. Gadsden did make a brief run in the third set with some consistency issues on the Centennial’s side of the net, but their traditionally scrappy defense couldn’t hold back the flood of offense.
Jaramillo and crew have their work cut out for them, heading to the Margaret Hussmann Tournament in El Paso this weekend, with heavyweights Franklin, Chapin and Cleveland in attendance. Even pool play will be a challenge with re-tooled Rio Rancho in the mix.

At the recently-held BMW Group Annual Conference the upcoming BMW i4 was revealed. “With its sporty looks, best in class driving dynamics and zero local emissions, the BMW i4 is a true BMW. It makes the heart of the BMW brand now beat fully electric,” said Pieter Nota, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Customer, Brands, Sales.
The BMW i4 is a fully electric 4 door Gran Coupé and will enter the market during the course of 2021, including a BMW M Performance model. The BMW i4 model line will be available in different versions covering ranges of up to 590km (WLTP) and up to 300 miles* (EPA). With a power output of up to 390kW / 530HP the BMW i4 can accelerate from zero to 100km/h in around 4 seconds. Full details on the BMW i4 will be released over the next weeks.
The i4 is built on a tweaked version of the CLAR platform that underpins the current 3 Series and 4 Series, accommodating battery packs of up to 80kWh capacity. Also on offer will be an entry-level rear-wheel-drive variant with a smaller battery, as is the case with the larger iX.
On the inside, the i4 will get BMW’s new eighth-generation iDrive operating system, shared with the iX flagship, which allows for over-the-air updates and greatly reduces the number of physical controls in the cabin – although it retains the characteristic rotary knob that has been used for every iteration of iDrive since it was introduced 20 years ago.
