Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at huge live events such as awards shows to make sure they’re polished and exciting when they hit our screens?
We spoke to multi-camera director Jan Genesis about capturing “must see” moments, bringing the live atmosphere to audiences at home and thinking on your feet when things don’t go to plan.
Let’s kick off with an insight into how you got started as a director, and how you moved into multi-camera as a format?
As my career’s progressed, I’ve realised I first started directing a lot earlier than I thought, because at the time I didn’t realise that’s what I was doing. I would have been about 20 or 21. My younger brother used to make music and I supported him — I helped manage him, organise him and take him to his shows. I had a camcorder and I thought, “it would be good if we could capture this”. That became filming and editing content, then I started filming football matches and editing that footage to music. Looking back, that was my first step into creating and directing — thinking about what I wanted those pictures to look like and how I wanted that to work with music and editing, and graphics.
When I was at university, I had the chance to learn more about media technology and digital broadcast. I was introduced to the world of DVD authoring and to the fundamentals of sound and vision. At the end of my course there was an internship, which I was fortunate to get, as a Broadcast Technical Operator for Bloomberg; I was involved in everything from sound to lighting, to robotic cameras, to master control. I was really thrown in at the deep end, as the person I was shadowing fell ill and I was able to cover them, which meant directing some small two-camera news shows. These were a single operator, one presenter, ten-minute to half-an-hour news bulletins. As director, you would cut your own cameras, do your own graphics, do your own comms — you and the presenter were the team. The presenters did their own autocue, but you would be cue-ing everything, you would be dialing up the guests — that was my first introduction to what was multi-cam directing, working on these small two-camera shoots.
From there I was offered an in-house position, so I started as a technical operator whilst also directing those small shows, and eighteen months later, I moved into an in-house director role, working in news as a broadcast director.
What appealed to you about multi-camera as a format?
I was fascinated by the fact there were so many different people with so many different skills working on a single production. When I walked into the building for the first time, it looked like what I imagine a space station looks like! There were screens everywhere, there were people speaking in different languages for different broadcasts, people were operating in a single operator mode, so they were cutting cameras with their right hand, fading sound with their left. I thought they were geniuses. When I saw the larger galleries, I got a feel for the team effort pulling it all together; you still had different roles, but there was someone at the centre steering the ship.
In my mind, that person didn’t need to be a tech wizard, they could leave that to the team. What was important was that they understood what needed to happen and when, and that they communicated that to everyone else. It fitted quite naturally with my personality and my previous experience — I coached football, which felt very similar. I would recognise people’s strengths and try to maximise them, and I felt this was similar to how the director worked in the gallery. I was really interested in this role, and when I got it, I learned from everyone else on the team, as they really knew what they were doing, which in turn helped me understand how to articulate what was happening editorially and what I wanted to do creatively, and really become a central part in the team.
Give us an insight into what you’ve been working on recently – what does the diary of a multi-cam director look like?
The past few months have been interesting. I’ve been involved in some great projects, and I’ve had a chance to work internationally as well. I like to find projects that speak to my core strengths as a director. For instance, I’ve been directing a 10-part Netflix series called Rhythm and Flow, a competition format filmed in Atlanta about finding America’s newest rap superstar. It’s a mix of big-name judges plus hopefuls from all corners of America trying to prove they’re the next big thing. It combined storytelling with reality and live performance, it was shot in studio as well as on location, and it felt like a good fit for me.
I’ve also been lucky enough to work on some big live events recently — in December in Kigali, Rwanda directing Global Citizen headlined by Kendrick Lamar. I have also worked on Netflix’s first live sports event, The Netflix Cup, in Las Vegas, Hip Hop’s Official 50th anniversary celebration at Yankee Stadium in New York, Global Citizen in Central Park, New York headlined by the Red Hot Chill Peppers and Stormzy’s “This is What We Mean Day” live event in Victoria Park, London.
What does a typical day look like when you’re working on these big live events?
That’s a million-dollar question! Generally, you’re working on these projects for a few months before the event itself, so you have weekly calls during this period to prepare and discuss ideas, and then about a week before the event, everything steps up a gear as you focus on the key details. With a live event and a music show, you start thinking about the live performances, discussing creative information from the creative directors, getting the music tracks and working with your AD who will start to break down the track. You’re working out the different elements of the show and how they will fit together — for example, an event like Global Citizen might have speakers, performances and presenters, as well as engagement with the crowd.
I like to make sure I have the cameras I need to cover everything, as well as make sure lighting and set design are aware of what I’m planning, so that the way I’m shooting is in sync with what they’re doing creatively. You need everyone to know what everyone else is doing — that is crucial. As the event date gets closer, I will start working on-site and the planning really comes together with the rest of the team. This means you can establish sight lines and you can check things like the set as it’s being built. However, the really key days are the two days before going live, as that’s when you typically have the talent on set. Then you can start blocking and checking the shots you have planned will work, the lighting and set design teams can check everything works in terms of where people will be standing or moving around on stage, the events team can ensure that all the camera platforms and camera positions you want to use are in line with where they’re expecting and that there aren’t any health and safety risks. There’s always a bit of back-and-forth about what we want to do creatively compared with what we can do from an events and budget perspective.
With big live events, you don’t tend to have a full performance rehearsal until a couple of days beforehand. You also don’t have the full crew until this point — it’s sometimes easy to forget that even though you’ve been in this process for three months, the crew been working on different projects and are coming in fresh with just two days to go. Communication is so important; the crew need to understand what they’re doing and what the project is about so that they know what to look for during the live event. Then it’s a case of rehearsing the performances in running order to see how everything’s going to look on camera, taking on feedback and bringing these notes and ideas into the dress run or show day as needed.
You’ve directed some huge live events. How do you prepare for something on this scale and how do you make sure it all goes to plan?
Information is key! I’ve found that building a good relationship with the show’s producer helps ensure that you’re not just aware of everything that will happen, you’re also aware of everything that could happen. For example, you know there are eight performances planned — is there a chance we could actually have ten? There are only going to be four people on stage — what if they decide they need two more band members? It’s about equipping yourself with information to help you think ahead and work with different departments effectively. It’s great if, as director, I decide I want to have a presenter do a link in the middle of the crowd, but if lighting don’t know this is the plan, the presenter won’t have any lighting and the shot won’t work. I need to articulate my vision to all the relevant departments, and make sure that everybody is on the same page and know what needs to happen and when. Planning, communication and collaboration are all so important.
There’s also an element of allowing room for things to change, because they will. An artist might decide to change their track at the last minute, or in rehearsal, they might start performing and move to the left but, on the day, they move to the right because that’s where the crowd reaction is strongest. You need to be ready to adapt, and you need to ensure that the team are prepared to react quickly if something different happens on the day. A lot of it is preparing, planning, and making sure you’re in control, but also accepting that you can’t control everything and making sure everybody is ready and comfortable with adapting in the moment.
Finally — I try to enjoy it. The more that you can enjoy it, the more the team can enjoy it and the more you can create an environment where people love their work, the more you can get the best out of that team creatively. If everyone is enjoying it behind the scenes, hopefully everyone watching will pick up on this energy from the broadcast.
How do you make sure the audience watching at home get a sense of the atmosphere at an event?
The key is showing what the audience “in the room” are feeling. If you’re watching something and you see that the audience is having a great time, you subconsciously pick up on that energy. Finding a balance between capturing the performance on stage and capturing the audience reaction is essential, and I always think about how to make this part of the broadcast. It’s almost like directing two different events — one for the audiences at the event itself who can feel the live atmosphere, and another for the audience at home who need to see what’s going on from the live audience’s perspective so that they feel involved.
It’s about finding creative ways to shoot and capture the energy of the event itself and then matching the coverage to this energy. There are lots of different ways to do this, from using dynamic cameras or filming in the crowd so that they are in the foreground; to having cameras flying above the crowd and then depressing. It’s important to be “in” the event as well as to look at it from afar, so that you’re in and amongst what’s happening and you get a real sense of the audience perspective.
Have there been any real stand-out moments that you’ve captured when you’ve been working on a live event?
The Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony in Birmingham in 2022 immediately comes to mind. It was a huge theatrical performance with a massive audience as well as hundreds of marshals and volunteers on-site, plus performers and dancers... I think there were maybe 35,000 people in total. We were using steady cameras to get in and amongst the dancers, there were iconic bands from Birmingham and the Midlands performing at the same time — it was almost like a huge musical with something for everyone. However, what was really special was that Ozzy Osbourne was going to close the performance, and what was even more special was that this hadn’t been announced as part of the line. No one had seen him perform live for a while, and there was a strong chance that he wouldn’t be performing in Birmingham again given his age and his health, so it was amazing to hear that famous baseline drop and see him appear to perform some of his biggest hits as the crowd went wild.
How do you find the balance between capturing rehearsed performances and scripted moments that keep the show running smoothly and those moments that only happen on the night?
There’s always a plan and structure to ensure that no one feels lost. However, within that, I allow some room to take different shots or to make a call on something as and when I see it so that we can be sure we’ve captured the essence of the event.
It’s hard to script things tightly if you also want to capture the atmosphere, so a good place to start is to work out what you can control. I find that awards ceremonies all typically tend to start in a very similar way, so this gives you an opportunity to get creative with how you set the tone and kick things off as you know what to expect and you can have fun with making a plan. Once the event has started, you can turn your attention to the crowd response and play with covering that — you can be creative here because you have a structure for covering the rehearsed elements of the show, and part of that structure is keeping an eye on the crowd and bringing in their reaction. If they love it and have loads of energy straight away, you might want to show more. If they are quite quiet at first, you might keep the focus on the performance for longer and incorporate a focus on the crowd during the second half instead.
You can balance these moments, too. If you have live music as part of an event and an artist is performing a particular track, there will probably be an “iconic” part of the track where they always do the same thing when they perform it. In these moments, I like to do something a bit out there, but that I’ve planned with the crew in advance. If you’re planning something bold, like bringing a camera on stage, you need a clear vision of what you want to capture and you need to know when and how the artist will hit that specific moment so that you’re ready once you go live. Of course, there are some artists who don’t like to be too tightly scripted or rehearsed, so you need to think on your feet as well!
What do you think the biggest challenges are in multi-camera directing?
I think there are several. Although you’re the central hub for the production as the director, working with artists and contributors can be very different to working with actors on a scripted project, for example. I think artists have much more creative control over their work these days, which means they’re more aware of how their performances are presented and they often want to have a say on things like the shots you’re planning or the framing. Ultimately, they are performing on stage, so you need to take their comments on board and be prepared to go with the flow, which is partly why I avoid being too tightly scripted or tied to specific ideas. I think a lot of what multi-camera directors do is balancing the needs of other people whilst still being creative and picking the right shots to make a performance and an event come to life on screen.
The other challenge is that often, there just isn’t enough time to plan and rehearse in the way that you would in an ideal world. For instance, you don’t always get access to the music that an artist might be using, or a chance to rehearse until two days before because they are working on another project. You need to be comfortable with using previous performances as a reference point to help you think about what might work creatively.
What do you do when something goes “wrong”? How have you learned to deal with these moments?
In this job, things are bound to not go to plan occasionally. I always try to prepare so that I can control the things within my control. I try to go into any rehearsal, performance or show as prepared as I possibly can be and sure that my team have all the information they need — for me, the worst thing is if you are unprepared, and you run into a problem. A big part of my job is thinking, “what if?” If you’re prepared and something unexpected happens, you can react quickly to find a solution that the audience at home won’t see. I think that’s a big part of our job — making sure the audience doesn’t know that something hasn’t gone to plan.
If something does go wrong, whether it’s just a split second or something that wasn’t meant to be there is in a frame, the most important thing is to move on quickly. If you dwell on it and allow the moment to snowball, it can have a huge knock-on effect. It’s all about minimising the impact and, if that isn’t realistic, minimising how much it affects the show and not letting it get out of control.
Why do you think the role of the director is important in live event broadcasts?
On these shows, you work with a huge range of talented people who are really focused on their own specific area. This means you must be the central hub aligning everyone on the brief, both editorially and creatively, and you’re also responsible for executing it on the night. There has to be someone who can communicate, who can lead and who can take control when things don’t necessarily go to plan or need to change. I always think it’s like you’re the captain of the ship; you often have to make difficult calls and ensure the different teams and experts who are working with you are all moving in the same direction. Otherwise, you have lots of experts all doing brilliantly individually but not coming together cohesively — for me, that’s where the director plays a crucial role.

- The success of hosting international events such as the G20 and the World Cup is sure to have a positive effect on the soft power of a nation and also influences the opinion of people in other nations.
- However, despite having a population of around 1.4 billion and a favourable demography, India is not a major competitor in important sporting event like the football world cup, Tour de France, Olympics or any other global sports or tournaments.
- There is a huge financial incentive for the countries hosting sporting events as with the increased number of travellers, the domestic economic activities in the region also increases.
- India must pick up the momentum as this is the right time for the rise of sports in India and to assume its rightful place on the world stage.
Indian cricket fans were left heartbroken with the ending of the World Cup. The defeat of the Indian team in the finals was a bitter pill for the fans to swallow as the team had won all their matches in the tournament till then. In a country of a billion hardcore followers, it is redundant to analyse the gaming aspect instead of observing the geo-political angle which is largely unnoticed and is within the realm of possibility.
Hosting International Sporting Events
Following the grand success of the year-long G20 presidency, this World Cup was hosted by India. Events like the World Cup are a big deal to any nation no matter which sport. Even the people who aren’t ardent followers of the sport, at least take daily updates of the tournament if their country is participating. India for its part whether it’s G20 or World Cup has shown the world it unapologetically makes use of such a platform to introduce the world to its history and culture.
This edition of the Cricket World Cup was spectacular in the sense that India not only has completed its duty but has gone out of its way to celebrate the event. Be it the laser show or the air show, the finals were a true spectacle.
With the hosting of the World Cup, there will be a slew of tourists from different parts of the world. They would be the flag bearers with their experience when they return to their homeland. With such a grand spectacle and the success of international events such as the G20 and World Cup, it sure has a positive effect on the soft power of a nation. It also influences the general opinion of people in other nations.
It is for the same reason, that Qatar was so eager to host the recent football World Cup. It was even ready to relax many of its stringent Islamic laws to accommodate FIFA obligations and visitors from abroad. The sketchy financial dealings behind the bidding and selection process are a different matter altogether.
Along with all these, there is also a huge financial incentive for the countries to show interest in hosting sporting events. The increased number of travellers also increases the domestic economic activities in the region. The World Cup organisers in India had so intelligently distributed the venue schedule across the nation that it maximised the exposure to foreign tourists regarding the culture of this land. The tourism-related service industry like hotels has been a major beneficiary of this.
It must be noted how India has leveraged its cricketing clout to the maximum when it comes to its dealings with Pakistan. The cricketing board of Pakistan, not unlike its country, is reeling with instability and economic distress. The direct effect of this on the field performance of the team where the lack of preparation was evident to all.
India used its position in the cricketing world, initially by refusing to fly to Pakistan for the Asia Cup citing security reasons and cross-border terrorism. Pakistan knew that the India-Pakistan match in its country was a gold mine. More revenue can be generated by just one match than by playing many tournaments. The historic competition even dwarfs the legendary El Clasico of Barcelona and Real Madrid in terms of its viewership, owing to the huge population in both countries.
When India announced its reluctance to travel to the country, Pakistan initially took the bold stance of declaring it would retaliate by not attending the World Cup in India. After consideration of its position, in what was a major embarrassment, it folded on both terms.
India played its Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and Pakistan attended the World Cup without any untoward incident. This kind of utilisation of every single platform available to raise the issue of cross-border terrorism of its neighbour has been one of the hallmarks of recent Indian diplomacy.
Pakistan, not unlike India is a cricket-crazed nation. These kinds of incidents affect the morale of its citizens. It desperately wants to have a bilateral series with India to boost its revenue. Despite its boastings regarding PSL, it knows that it is peanuts, compared to the revenue that can be generated by an India-Pak series, with around ⅕ th of the whole watching. But the Indian Board has been a major roadblock to this, in line with the official position of the Indian Government.
Limitations & Challenges
Notwithstanding all these points, it must be recognised that the reach of cricket is very limited on the world scale. No other major economic nation even plays cricket as its premium sport. Even in England where the sport originated, football has taken major precedence. Countries such as the US, China and Russia compete against each other to the hilt for a medal in the Olympics. Sports and athletics have been one of the main arenas for major nations to establish their global standing.
Sadly, India is lagging far behind in this regard. With a population of around 1.4 billion and the most favourable demography, it is not a major competitor in important sports like football, Tour de France, Olympics or any other global sports or tournaments. Even with the lush Himalayan terrain, less said the better about India’s record in the Winter Olympics. The tragic part is that it has many advantages to do better in this regard. For example, the geography and weather in the country are favourable to practise numerous sporting disciplines for the most of the year.
The enthusiasm for sports is always a bottom-up approach. People themselves must diversify their interests in the development of other sports. For example, many complained about the team selection of playing eleven in the Cricket final but not many are even aware of the ongoing football World Cup qualifiers. This has created a situation where sporting boards have become a fertile ground for corruption which in turn further deteriorates the sporting culture.
All said and done, there is slowly rising hope in the sporting events in the country. The heartbreak of Archery and the celebration of Javelin in the past Olympics is a testament to this. With the Khelo India and Fit India movements, governments in recent years have received positive response from the public.
However, from personal health to geopolitics, sports has been a major unexplored area for India. As the importance of the geopolitics of sports is realised, the churning has begun and India is now recognising the potential advantages of spending its resources on sports. But India must pick up the momentum as this is the right time for the rise of sports in India and to assume its rightful place on the world stage.

What standards and criteria will the HRIA apply? Part 3: Human Rights Impact Assessment of Baffinland's Mary River Project
What standards and criteria will the HRIA apply? Part 3: Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA) of Baffinland's Mary River Project, May 17, 2012 (Download complete PDF at left)
International human rights law
The overall normative framework for the HRIA is defined by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This is the most authoritative international policy statement about business human rights, which was unanimously welcomed by the UN Human Rights Council in June 2011. It is built upon the “Protect, Respect and Remedy” framework that explains that: States have the primary responsibility to protect human rights, including in relation to the activities of business enterprises; companies have a responsibility to respect human rights though a process of on-going due diligence that is appropriate for each business’ operational context; and, a shared responsibility of States and companies to provide access to remedies for corporate abuses of human rights.
Additional information about the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights can be found at: http://www.business-humanrights.org/Documents/UNGuidingPrinciples3
Furthermore, the HRIA will look at the various international human rights obligations of Canada4 and their implementation in federal and territorial laws and regulations that are relevant to the mining industry, including labour and environmental laws and various government programmes and social protections. In the context of Nunavut, the Nunavut Lands Claim Agreement will be given significant attention as a modern lands claim agreement that has a number of important elements that contribute to the protection of the rights of Inuit.
Human rights compliance and impact assessment tools
In assessing whether different duty-bearers (State and company) are meeting their obligations and responsibilities for human rights, the HRIA will use internationally- accepted questions and indicators to guide the assessment. Based on professional experience, the HRIA team will customize a list of the most relevant question of questions and indicators for the Mary River project from the following assessment to tools:
• Danish Institute for Human Rights Human Rights Compliance Assessment (Quick Check Version) - http://www.humanrightsbusiness.org/files/HRCA%20QC/quick_check_august_2006. pdf
• Rights & Democracy “Getting it Right: Human Rights Impact Assessment Guide” -
• International Finance Corporation, “Guide to Human Rights Impact Assessment and Management” - http://www.guidetohriam.org/app/images/documents/Guide%20to%20HRIAM%20bo oklet%20English.pdf
The questions and indicators, and assessment criteria in these guides, will assist the HRIA team to develop the interview guides and research agenda for the information- gathering stage of the assessment. They will also guide the analysis, findings and recommendations of the HRIA report.
Good practice policies and guidance for the mining industry
To assist in making the human rights analysis as relevant and focused on the operational context of the mining industry, additional good practice policies and guidance will also be referenced to compare some of the things that leading companies are doing to address human rights. These include:
• International Council of Mining and Metals (ICMM)’s guidance and policies on business and human rights.5
• International multi-stakeholder initiatives related to human rights in the extractive industry, including the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights6 and the Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative.7
• International policies and standards related to corporate social responsibility and human rights, including the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises and the International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards.
• Canadian policies and standards relevant to the mining sector, including the Mining Association of Canada’s “Towards Sustainable Mining”; the Prospector and Developer’s Association of Canada, “E3 Plus: A Framework for Responsible Exploration,” and the Government of Canada’s international CSR strategy, “Building the Canadian Advantage: A Corporate Social Responsibility Strategy for the Canadian International Extractive Sector.”

ATF, FBI search home of jeweler Leo Hamel in gun trafficking investigation
Federal authorities investigating a firearms trafficking case served multiple search warrants in San Diego County Wednesday.
Among the locations searched was the sprawling backcountry estate of San Diego jeweler Leo Hamel in Jamul, NBC 7 reported.
The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said several searches were being conducted throughout the county due to a firearms trafficking investigation, but declined to disclose locations or names. The FBI was also investigating.
Hamel could not be reached for comment.
Hamel is an advisory board member of San Diego County Gun Owners, a political action committee advocating for gun rights.
“Leo is a member, a volunteer, and a friend,” executive director Michael Schwartz said in a statement Wednesday. “We have no further details and no further comment.”
Hamel is a well-known name in San Diego, with television commercials featuring him and his family for his local jewelry empire specializing in fine gemstones, new and pre-owned luxury watches, estate jewelry and engagement rings.
His business, which he started in 1980, is anchored at his Old Town showroom. Agents were also seen there Wednesday morning, according to NBC.
Hamel, a Republican, waded into politics in 2016 with a run for the 71st Assembly District but dropped out of the race after only a month, citing the desire to spend more time with his family.
“I just don’t think that Sacramento is composed of people who actually understand business, that understand liberty, that think about our freedoms,” he said at the time.

Last month’s MS Walk in Quesnel raised more than $7,000, almost double last year’s total.
“In Quesnel, on Saturday, May 18, supporters came together to successfully raise more than $7,000 that will be used to accelerate the pace of MS research breakthroughs and provide programs and services to enhance the quality of life for those affected by MS,” states a press release from the MS Society of Canada, which was released June 10.
Many other communities across B.C. held their annual MS Walk events on May 26 to raise funds and improve the lives of Canadians living with multiple sclerosis.
“We were thrilled once again with the support we received at all of the Walks around the province, including the one in Quesnel,” Tania Vrionis, president of the MS Society of Canada, Alberta & NWT and BC & Yukon Divisions, said in the release. “This annual event is so critically important. It is not only a source of funding for accelerating research but also a time where those living with MS can see they have a community of support around them.”
Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world, with 11 Canadians diagnosed with MS every day, according to the MS Society of Canada.
MS is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system comprising the brain, spinal cord and optic nerve. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 49, and the unpredictable effects of the disease last for the rest of their lives, according to the MS Society.
Here in Quesnel, the MS Self-Help Group has been organizing the MS Walk for seven years. Each year, 10 per cent of the money raised goes back to the group to help with costs such as paying for the HandyDart for locals with MS. Last year’s walk raised $4,000.
This year, the Quesnel MS Walk took place May 18 in Spirit Square and included a silent auction, burgers by donation from Mr. Mike’s and an information table to spread awareness and education.
For more information about the MS Self-Help Group, contact Donna at 778-414-1076.

The Director of the Centre for Coastal Management at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) Prof Dennis Worlanyo Aheto has stated that the death of sea fishes can be attributed to the climate change effect.
Another factor, he told 3FM’s Komla Adom in an interview on Monday, April 5, can be chemical pollution.
Tons of dead fish were found along the shores of the Osu Castle beach in Accra on Friday.
On that same day, close to 100 mammals suspected to be melon-headed whales were also washed ashore at the Axim-Beware beach in the Nzema East Municipality of the Western Region.
The Western Regional Acting Director of the Fisheries Commission, Alhassan Arafat Salifu told journalists that “We are now counting to know the actual numbers that were washed ashore since they are in different parts of the beach. Some are still struggling to breathe and some are dead.”
Sharing his thoughts on this development, Prof Aheto said “This is not the first time. As a matter of fact, these things do happen occasionally not just in Ghana but along coastal countries, so it is not surprising.
“The more problematic one is the dolphins that have also been washed. These are marine mammals and it calls for concerns because these are already threatening the species.
“There are a number of factors that can lead to this kind of situations. From a marine ecology point of view and overturn of the water due to the climate change effect can lead to a deoxygenated environment in the upper waters which can cause mass deaths.
“You cannot also rule out the possible effect of chemical pollution in the water. We also do know that along the coastline particularly within our Atlanta areas.”

Scores of Britain’s crookedly majestic farm buildings, many hundreds of years old, have been lovingly restored as part of an £8m pilot scheme.
Historic properties in five National Parks have been brought back to life thanks to a collaborative project between Natural England, Historic England, and the Rural Payments Agency, which together provided grant funding to farmers.
Once dilapidated and disused, 100 barns on Dartmoor, in the Lake District, and across Northumberland, the Peak District, and the Yorkshire Dales have been repaired so as to be fit for agricultural purpose once more.
The Historic Building Restoration Grant launched in March 2018 and the pilot will conclude in March this year, after which project coordinators will review the work and look to roll it out to new areas.
Vince Holyoak, head of rural strategy at Historic England, said to i: “These are traditional barns and buildings that make up a distinctive part of the British countryside.
“Many were ruined due to a changing agricultural system, and many have been lost completely. But it’s important to preserve history for future generations, so we’ve saved about 100 so far.
“Their original character has been restored, but they also benefit rural communities economically – buildings are now at a premium, so farmers need buildings more than ever.”
Mr Holyoak said many of the buildings saved date back to the 1500s and 1600s, while one, on Dartmoor, was first built in the 1400s – as a house which was later converted to a barn.
Early economic forecasting of the impact of the pilot grant scheme found that for every £1 of public money offered by the scheme puts up to £2.50 back into communities by creating jobs and boosting local businesses, Historic England claimed.
Analysis by developers also indicated that the scheme creates around 15 full-time equivalent jobs in the local economy of each of the five National Parks – equating to at least 77 full-time equivalent jobs for an initial grant investment of just over £4m.
Rural affairs minister Lord Gardiner said: “This pilot is a wonderful initiative to help bring historic buildings back to life for future generations.
“Many of the historic stone barns scattered throughout our National Parks have fallen out of use, despite being perfectly situated to provide shelter for livestock or store feed.
“Natural England has played an important role in helping applicants with the application process, and I look forward to seeing how this funding will be spent to revitalise these buildings.”
Sir Laurie Magnus, chairman of Historic England, added: “We are delighted at the results already being demonstrated by the historic farm building restoration grant pilot scheme.
“They show the widespread enthusiasm to repair these buildings which are such a distinctive part of their landscapes.
“Historic England will continue to work in partnership with the National Parks, landowners and tenants, Natural England and the Rural Payments Agency to ensure as many historic farm buildings as possible can be brought back into use.”
Applications to restore buildings are assessed by a grants panel chaired by the Rural Payments Agency with representatives from Historic England, Natural England, and the National Parks.

Oxygen. Food. Water. Sleep. These are non-negotiable. Sure, we can exist for a certain amount of time without them, but after a point, you run into trouble. Stop breathing, say, for more than a few minutes, and brain damage starts to occur.
Similarly, you need these in the right amounts – not too much and definitely not too little, as new research in the journal SLEEP reminds.
The study involved data from more than 1500 randomly selected middle-aged adults who had their sleep measured in a controlled environment for one night. Each also completed a clinical history, physical exam, and a questionnaire to identify any sleep disorders, mental health issues, and substance use. They were also tested for signs of cognitive impairment.
In the end, the research team
found that adults who reported insomnia symptoms or chronic insomnia and slept less than six hours in the lab were two times more likely to have cognitive impairment when compared to good sleepers. They also found that this association was particularly strong for adults with coexisting cardiometabolic conditions and cognitive impairment, which may be an indicator of vascular cognitive impairment – a condition where poor cardiovascular health results in impaired brain function.
In fact, earlier research by the same team found that those who slept less than 6 hours a night actually had a greater risk of developing cardiometabolic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, or stroke, as well as mental health problems.
But lack of sleep can affect your oral health, too.
A study published late last year in the Journal of Periodontology analyzed data from more than 3600 American adults over age 30 who participated in the NHANES from 2013 to 2014. Its authors found that those who slept soundly for more than 7 hours a night were 40% less likely to develop severe gum disease – even after adjusting for age, smoking status, and other key variables. The link was even stronger for those who had diabetes.
According to an earlier study, sleep is so important to oral health, it’s second only to smoking as a risk factor for gum disease.
And just so you know, there are strong links between periodontal health and cognitive health, as well.

The shoe’s side panels are plied with paint-splattered patterns, alternating between abstract swirling brushstrokes and speckled black. Gold branding, Swoosh and Air unit add the final polish to this galaxy of colour. If that’s not enough, the paint print on the inner sole should bring out anyone’s inner Jackson Pollock.

BUTLER TOWNSHIP — A Butler Township woman has been charged with killing her family’s three month old puppy in an incident that occurred in late July.
Norma J. Madden, 24, has been charged with cruelty to a companion animal, a first-degree misdemeanor, as a result of the events of July 27.
According to the incident report, Madden’s two young children, five and two years old, were trying to walk the dog with a belt around the dog’s neck. Madden’s husband, Joey, saw that the children were hurting the dog and sent the five year old to her room and spanked the younger child’s diaper.
The spanking angered Madden who then grabbed the dog and and began choking it. A struggle ensued, and another witness finally got the dog from Norma Madden, but she took it back from him and threw it against the wall.
“After that, we picked it up and it was not breathing,” the witness said in a written statement to police.
According to the statement that Joey Madden provided to police, Norma Madden laughed after the puppy died but her demeanor changed “when she knew cops were coming.”
“She said she felt bad and was crying but that she was sorry never meant to kill it. But that don’t bring puppy back or fix my daughter’s broken heart.”
Norma Madden was arraigned in Vandalia Municipal Court on August 3 where she entered plea of not guilty. A pre-trial hearing is set for August 25.
Court records show that Madden is currently on probation for theft at the Walmart in Butler Township.

By pursuit of material wealth of all sorts and by all means, one may experience plentifully the avenues of ‘enjoyment.’ However, one thing is absolutely certain. You can never be happy until you renounce them all and eliminate your desires for such enjoyment. It is the burden of desires that makes us unhappy. Being attached to material things that one has and hankering after things one does not have is the surest way to make all life miserable.
We think the moment of gratification of our desire is the highest moment of our happiness. Then we conclude that gratification of the desire is the cause of happiness. This is not true. It is the removal of burden that desire was putting on the mind which makes us happy.
Once you indulge in gratification you will notice that ten new desires spring up and there is no end to this process. A gratified desire leads to hunger for desires. Unfulfilled desire leads to anger and more tension on the mind.
On Changing Bad Habits
You have to get out of those negative habits, negative behavior, all of it, once and for all. Now there is a breakthrough. Now use this momentum to really rise. You realize the wrong way to think, to act, to react, but seeing that is not enough. Don’t focus on it. You underline the negative aspects about yourself until you feel so miserable that you cannot function. You can look at yourself with all honesty and with humility make the changes.
A NEW AGE IS DAWNING. IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A WORLD FULL OF PEACE AND BLISS. But first all the obstructions should be removed.

MOSCOW, April 22 (UPI) -- Moscow and Kiev agreed to a revised deal for Russian natural gas in exchange for an extended lease on a Russian naval base in the Crimea, officials said.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych had pressed for revisions to a gas deal signed by the previous government since he took office in February.
"The discount is expected to make up 30 percent of the total gas price but no more than $100 per 1,000 cubic meters, and will apply to 30 billion cubic meters in 2010 and 40 billion cubic meters in subsequent years," a statement by Russian gas monopoly Gazprom read.
The deal also calls on Kiev to settle 80 percent of its gas debt to Gazprom before the sixth of each month, with the remaining 20 percent due by the 20th of each month. A "take-or-pay" clause remains in effect.
"The changes have been introduced in the contract in pursuance of the intergovernmental agreements and don't have a negative effect on Gazprom's economics," added Gazprom chief Alexei Miller.
Russia, in exchange for the deal, extends its naval presence at Sevastopol port in the Ukrainian autonomous republic of Crimea for 25 years from 2017.
Opposition lawmakers in Ukraine complained the deal violates articles in the constitution that forbid foreign military bases on Ukrainian soil, Russia's state-run news agency RIA Novosti reports.
"A president, who has violated the norms of the Ukrainian Constitution ... should be impeached," a statement by the Our Ukraine Party of former President Viktor Yushchenko read.

New York, NY – New York Police Department (NYPD) sources told the New York Post that the whole Shake Shack milkshake poisoning scandal was caused by officials who gave inflammatory and incorrect information to the police unions.
A massive social media wave erupted after unions tweeted statements late on June 15 that claimed three NYPD officers assigned to the protest detail downtown had been sickened by something they ingested from a fast food restaurant.
“This evening, several [police officers] assigned to a protest detail in lower Manhattan took meal at the Shake Shack location on Broadway and Fulton Street,” the NYPD Police Benevolent Association (PBA) President Pat Lynch said.
“At some point during their meal period, the [police officers] discovered that a toxic substance, believed to be bleach, had been placed in their beverages,” the statement said.
“The contamination was not discovered until the MOS [Members of Service] had already ingested a portion of their beverages,” Lynch added.
New York City Detectives Endowment Association Presidents Paul DiGiacomo released a statement saying that three officers were poisoned.
Just a few hours later, NYPD Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison made the announcement that it had all been a mistake.
“After a thorough investigation by the NYPD’s Manhattan South investigators, it has been determined that there was no criminality by Shake Shack’s employees,” Chief Harrison tweeted just after 4 a.m. June 16.
Police sources told WPIX that that the investigation had determined that the shake machine had been improperly cleaned and a residue of a cleaning agent or bleach was still inside it when the shakes were made for the officers.
But the New York Post reported that none of the tweets about officer poisoning ever should have happened because their police sources said none of the officers actually got sick.
Sources said the three officers ordered the drinks using the apps on their phones, and picked them up at two different counters.
There was no way for Shake Shack employees preparing the drinks to know the recipients were police officers “since it wasn’t done in person,” nor was there any way for them to add contaminants to the milkshakes after the officers arrived because the beverages were already packed up on the counter, according to the New York Post.
Sources said the officers tried their drinks, tasted and smelled something off, and tossed them in the trash.
The officers alerted a manager who apologized for the problem, and then accepted vouchers for free food or drink to make up for their inconvenience, the New York Post reported.
It was all over with until the officers told their sergeant what had happened about two hours after the incident occurred.
The sergeant took the matter much more seriously, sources told the New York Post, and called in an Emergency Services Unit (ESU) at 9:20 p.m. to investigate at Shake Shack.
The sergeant had the three officers transported to Bellevue Hospital to be examined.
None of the three officers ever showed symptoms of being ill from ingesting the milkshakes, sources told the New York Post.
However, a lieutenant notified the unions of the ongoing incident in an email that sources said exaggerated the situation.
The lieutenant told the union that six officers had “started throwing up after drinking beverages they got from shake shack on 200 Broadway,” the New York Post reported.
Sources said that NYPD detectives investigated, interviewed five Shake Shack employees, and reviewed surveillance video from inside the restaurant.
They determined that residual milkstone remover – a solution routinely used to clean the machines – had made the drinks taste and smell funny, the New York Post reported.
Chief Harrison tweeted that police had found “no criminality” and the unions walked back earlier accusations about poison and deleted their tweets, but that didn’t stop the trending hashtag #BoycottShakeShack that had resulted.
The hashtag was still being used one week after the incident occurred, according to the New York Post.
Two New York City councilmen have demanded a probe into the unions’ “inflammatory” behavior surrounding the issue.
An NYPD spokeswoman said the department is investigating how the incident unfolded, the New York Post reported.

Last week, the beauty retailer Sephora made the headlines in the news, not because of a new product launch or some extraordinary TikTok campaign but because it became the first company that California Attorney General Rob Bonta publicly fined for allegedly violating the requirements of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
According to the case, Sephora failed to communicate transparently to its customers that it sold personal data (tracked through pixels and cookies) to third parties. The brand also did a poor job with their “do not sell my personal information” processes, failing to let consumers reverse the companies’ data sharing decisions if they wished to do so (including through Global Privacy Control) and neglecting to assess any third parties’ data sharing and to consistently update contracts, as the CCPA requires. These violations cost the company $1.2 million in settlement fees and a range of compliance remediation obligations.
The core of this case is Sephora’s “selling” (read: “sharing”) of consumer personal data with third-party advertising networks and analytics providers. Let’s clarify one crucial detail here: What does selling data actually mean under the CCPA? The regulator has so far interpreted that language to include a range of data sharing practices for “any valuable consideration,” and according to the decision in this case, it also includes when a company shares data with a vendor in exchange for “free or discounted analytics and advertising benefits.” The lack of a definition of what any third parties could do with the data appears to be a critical pitfall in Sephora’s data sharing arrangements. In fact, among the corrective measures that Attorney General Bonta imposed on the retailer, Sephora must: 1) identify the third parties it shares/sells data to; 2) ensure that contracts and processes are in place to limit what third parties can do with data, as defined by its policies; and 3) take specific actions to enforce “do not sell my personal information” across its data sharing/selling ecosystem.
These are basic actions that will help consumers understand with whom a business shares their data and take action to change the company’s data sharing decisions that they don’t agree with. These are necessary and helpful measures, yet we are still just scratching the surface when it comes to trusted data sharing.
The Path Forward For Trusted Data Sharing Includes Closing “The Trust Gap”
In our new research, Trusted Data Sharing: A Modern Framework For Empowering Individuals And Organizations, we have investigated the opportunities and the risks of data sharing and created a framework that helps organizations make their data sharing processes safer, more controlled, and more trusted.
The core of the research focuses primarily on tackling the most critical point of failure of today’s data sharing ecosystems: “the trust gap.” Explained simply, this is the delta between the controls, policies, and governance that an organization sets up when collecting personal data and that organization’s ability to ensure the same level of control when sharing data. We have also looked explicitly at data sharing practices that entail the sharing of personal data, hence making the need for adequate safeguards more urgent.
This report provides specific guidance to every company that engages in data sharing practices, as it:
- Defines a model architecture to describe common data sharing arrangements and highlights specific risks and common points of failure.
- Contains a detailed analysis of the benefits that closing the trust gap would bring to consumers and businesses.
- Lists potential controls, including customer consent management, privacy-preserving technology, blockchain, and data intelligence platforms, and maps them against discrete actions in complex data sharing ecosystems.
- Identifies the most appropriate controls against the model architecture of data sharing in complex ecosystems.
Get in touch with us and schedule a guidance session to learn more about the research and start closing the trust gap of your data sharing practices.
