The research lab of Charlie Dong, PhD, is studying the mechanisms regulating nutrient homeostasis, energy expenditure, cell signaling, gene transcription, epigenetic control of chromatin remodeling in normal physiology, aging, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.
The Dong Laboratory focuses on the pathogenesis of aging, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and fatty liver disease. Specifically, the laboratory team investigates the pathophysiological functions of forkhead box O transcription factors (Foxos) and NAD+-dependent deacetylases (Sirtuins) using cellular and animal model systems. This group is among the first to discover the link from the insulin signaling pathway to the NAD biogenesis and regulation. The Dong Lab also made significant contributions to the molecular mechanisms of triglyceride and cholesterol homeostasis, especially with regard to the role of Foxo3 and Sirt6 genes. Recently, this research team has demonstrated a novel role of Sesn3 in the regulation of mTOR signaling and insulin sensitivity. In addition, this lab has uncovered a novel function of Sirt6 in the regulation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells.

Vilde Frang is a brilliant arrival on the violin scene it seems slightly odd to combine her piercing but heavily vibrato-laden sound with the period-instrument practices of Arcangelo. Her extrovert personality shines through in the rarely heard Mozart first violin concerto, a fizzy essay probably written by the 17-year-old composer in Salzburg for the violinist Antonio Brunetti. Jonathan Cohens direction makes the most of the breathtakingly original textures of this duo concerto. The cadenzas in the violin concertos, one of them by Joseph Joachim, add another Romantic note.

HARDWIRED CONTROL VS MICROPROGRAMMED CONTROL PDF
Control unit generates timing and control signals for the operations of the computer. The control unit communicates with ALU and main memory. In this lesson, you will learn how microprogramming and hardwired control sets are designed in computer architecture. You will be able to describe. The main difference between Hardwired and Microprogrammed Control Unit is that a Hardwired Control Unit is a sequential circuit that.

In Microprogrammed Control Unit, modifications can be implemented by changing the microinstructions in the control memory.
Before talking about Microprogrammed Control Unit, it is important to understand some terms. Hardwired control units are implemented through use of combinational logic units, featuring a finite number of gates that can generate specific results based on the instructions that were used to invoke those responses.
Therefore, it is easier to design, implement and test. This is a truth table. For other uses, see Control unit disambiguation. Hardwired control also can be used for implementing sophisticated CISC machines.
This architecture is preferred in reduced instruction set computers RISC as they use a simpler instruction set. The hardwired approach has become less popular as computers have evolved. Microprogrammed control is a control mechanism that generates control signals by reading a memory called a control storage CS that contains control signals. Hardwired Control Unit is a unit that uses combinational logic units, featuring a finite number of gates that can generate specific results based on the instructions confrol were used to invoke those responses.
Moreover, it is difficult to perform instruction decoding in Hardwired Control Unit than in Microprogrammed Control Unit. A controller that uses this approach can operate at high speed; however, it has little flexibility, and the complexity of cotnrol instruction set it can implement is limited.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Synthesis of compositional microprogram control units for programmable devices. Their design uses a fixed architecture—it requires changes in the wiring if the instruction set is modified or microprogra,med.
Microprograms were organized as a sequence of microinstructions and stored in special control memory. John von Neumann included the control unit as part of the von Neumann architecture.
Previously, control units for CPUs used ad-hoc logic, and they were difficult to design. The control unit CU is a component of a computer’s central processing unit CPU that directs the operation of the processor.
Although microprogrammed control seems to be advantageous to implement CISC machines, since CISC requires systematic development of sophisticated control signals, there is no intrinsic difference between these 2 types of control.
Data dependency Structural Control False sharing.
On the other hand, Microprogrammed Control Units are easier to modify, decode, implement contril capable of handling complex instructions. Outputs of the controller are organized in microinstructions and they can be easily replaced.
Other more advanced forms of Control Units manage the translation of instructions but not the data containing portion into several micro-instructions and the CU manages the scheduling of the micro-instructions between the selected execution units to which the data is then channeled and changed according to the execution unit’s function i.
The speed of operations in Microprogrammed Control Unit is slow because it requires frequent memory accesses.
Hardwired control versus Microprogrammed control
Processor register Register file Memory buffer Program counter Stack. Hardwired control units are generally faster than microprogrammed designs. The pair of a “microinstruction-register” and a “control storage address register” microprogrammsd be regarded as a “state register” for hardwired control.
Hardwired control is a control mechanism that generates control signals by using an appropriate finite state machine FSM.
This CU instruction decode process is then repeated when the Program Counter is incremented to the next stored program address and the new instruction enters the CU from that address, and so on till the programs end. A control word is a set of ones and zeros in a control variable. ALU handles the mathematical and logical operations while CU sends timing and control signals to the other units to synchronize the tasks. Most computer resources are managed by the CU.
The design of these sequential steps are based on the needs of each instruction and can range in number of steps, the order of execution, and which units are enabled. She is passionate about sharing her knowldge in the areas of programming, data science, and computer systems. Overall, these control units have a simple structure.
The algorithm for the microprogram control unit,unlike the hardwired control unit, is usually specified by flowchart description. Microprogrammed Control Unit has a sequence of microinstructions stored in control memory.
Download descriptions in Verilog HDL. Archived from the original on Moreover, Microprogrammed Control Units are easier to modify. This is the first paper that illustrates the above identification, where the idea was used for quick quantitative evaluation of hardware resources. It directs the operation of the other units by providing timing and control signals. The processor or the CPU is the main component of the computer that handles most of the tasks. It directs the flow of data between the CPU and the other devices.
We can assign any 0,1 values to each output corresponding to each address, that can be regarded as the input for a combinational logic circuit.
Therefore, it has minimum flexibility. As it is hardwired, the instruction set is constant and does confrol change. The bases of this opinion are as follows: However, Hardwired Control Units are difficult to modify and implement.

Hey! This is pretty unusual for what I do here, so here’s a quick FYI. I was wrestling with a bad mood last week (Spoilers: I’m much better now, thanks!) and I wasn’t 100% sure why. Eventually, my mind wandered over to this creative writing idea for a fantasy setting I spontaneously had, and working on it broke me out of that funk. Since my attempt at the fanfiction Bloggers Wanted prompt last month was received well, I figured “Heck, why not share this here?”! Who knows? Getting into a habit of doing just a little storytelling regularly is one of my New Year Resolutions, so maybe I’ll make more blogs like this?
Without any further delay, here’s “The Dread Wyvern & the Enchanting Light”! Enjoy~
An erratic crackling mercilessly scattered all around.
Smoke permeated the air.
Bodies laid scattered across the floor.
Heat pressed against the beast’s skin, embers dangling from its maw. Its breathing steadied as the embers died out.
Amidst the foggy crags, a faint whimpering shivered. The beast approached it, steps thumping heavily. The whimpering slowed, but the beast could feel its shaking accelerate.
The beast’s body shone with a pale light. It shrunk from its lumbering and looming shape to an imposing, yet condensed and toned build. Its scale-like armor smoothed and thinned into shimmering emerald plates. Its translucent wings bent from overgrown bat curves to long teardrops. His fanged mouth and sharp horns rounded out into… a slightly less fanged mouth with long antennae. His beady black eyes remained unchanged.
“They’re gone,” he spoke, the figure cowering behind the smoke breathing a smidgen slower.
“Yo-You’re t-th-the D-Dre…” she weakly stammered, her voice trembling. “Dread… Wyvern?”
“Your man hired me,” three of his arms folded, the fourth shooting a thumb behind his shoulder. “We’re leaving.”
Her short-haired silhouette shivered in place, sitting on the floor. “I-I can’t…”
“That’s an order, Esthel” he shook his head. “The bandits’ main patrol will be back from their raid any minute. That means we’re going now.”
“N-No, I mea-” she coughed, even though the smoke was clear enough to see her blue eyes, chestnut hair, and gaudy clothing. His face leaned closer, reading the fear in the human’s face. He didn’t move any farther nor closer as his eyes studied her skin, fair and pale… except for the wound on her leg.
“Should have figured…” his knees crouched. “Fine. I’ll carry you.”
Her hand trembled as it approached his shoulder.
She climbed on.
Rain plummeted from the cloudy sky, buffeting the deep earth underneath the dragonfly’s feet with mud. Esthel hung from his shoulder, eyes shifting between her unrequited bodyguard and the road behind them.
“So, er… you are the real Dread Wyvern, right? The famous merc?”
“That’s what Gaians call me,” he stated. “It works better than Dakhan.”
“So, can you transform?”
“Any Lunan can.”
“No need to be a smart aleck,” she pouted. “I meant to get us back faster?”
“That’s what they bandits are looking for,” he said plainly. “And transforming makes it hard enough to see in clear weather.”
“Oh…” she disappointedly lowered her head. “S-Sorry…”
He said nothing, and continued carrying her onward.
“You know, I could maybe walk a little-”
“No you can’t,” he shook his head. “Fighting against the mud is bad for your injury.”
“Says the man who lives and breathes pain, pretty much literally.”
“That’s because I’m a bred warrior,” he calmly followed up. “Lunans are practically born for combat. We’re lucky if we grow up knowing how to not be bloodthirsty monsters.”
“You say that so… normal-ly,” she spoke somberly.
“Well, when you’re born in a meteor shard that fell at random from the moon,” he matter-of-factly recalled. “It really is normal for your brothers to grow up without ever meeting Gaian civilization. I was just lucky enough to be dropped near someone who knows a fighter when he sees one. I’m no scholar, or farmer, or… whatever you are,” he stared at her impractically extravagant clothes. “Being strong’s the only thing I’m good at.”
“Well, that’s pretty cruddy,” she pouted. “Aren’t you tired of fighting all the time?”
“I got tired of it a long time ago,” he dully stated, the annoyance in his voice rising. “I said it’s all I have.”
“If you hate it so much, Mr. Doom and Gloom,” Esthel turned herself upside-down. “Why haven’t you given any thought about what other jobs that power you got can be used for?”
Esthel leapt, winking as she fell below the wooden platform.
“She actually jumped!?” The dragonfly bent forward from his front-row seat, his head descending as did her body - which clung onto a trapeze that intersected with her fall, and not a blink too soon.
He could only watch in awe as she leapt from trapeze to trapeze. He could only gawk in doubt as she flipped and spun daringly from each jump. Time seemed to slow while she disconnected herself from everything except the air. His heart beat again as she fastened her grip on the wooden shaft, no longer descending towards the ground. If her leg wasn’t mended by those Gaian mages, she’d be dead already. He had lost track of her performance’s length, recognizing the time that passed only once she daringly sprung back onto another, lower platform by a pole supporting the big top.
And the audience roared with glee.
“She… she did it…?”
“Thank you very much, Esthel dear!” The ringlord announced, pausing until the audience’s applause grew quiet. “And now! For our next star! The Lunan Lord of Lightning! The King of the Deep! Give a show of hands for GUSAAAAAAAAARR!”
The crowd cheered vigorously, as white smoke emerged from the stage. A damp splishing and sploshing echoed from the floor, a lanky figure emerging from it. Dark blue scales glistened against the spotlights. Fins swayed like oversized fans from the shape’s lithe back and long legs. The fish-man took a bow as the crowd’s support echoed across the tent.
“Please,” he calmly spoke, raising an open palm “Hold your applause.”
Step by step, he ascended the stepladder, the massive pool shining underneath. With a wide salute, Gusarr leapt backwards, his body shining with a pale light as he sunk below.
His form was obscured by the murky waters… and by the light filling the pool. Energy coursed across the tank. Sparks danced across its surface. The glow of electricity overshadowed the spotlights themselves. A spout of shining water leapt upwards, rippling across the pool’s lengths as he reverse-cannonballed his way out of the water.
The mutant sahuagin gave a boisterous roar, his blade-like fins and claws adorned with bolts of lightning. The crowd matched his roar with a shout of applause and awe, and he dove back. He spiraled across the air and water alike, performing tricks and sleights of body not unlike Esthel before him, but trading her grace for his alacrity. He darted all about, circling so quickly that the electricity in the pool swirled into a whirlpool. Bolts flew forth from his fintips, striking an array of targets held by his own troupe-mates.
Dakhan’s maw fell agape, buttocks leaning forward off of his seat.
And the crowd rooted for the mutant in the ring, the spotlight beaming an enchanting radiance onto him as it did his peers before. They applauded for him. Celebrated him. Praised. Lauded. Cheered.
A gentle pair of footsteps pittered about, increasing in volume until they stopped, Esthel sitting next to him with an expectant grin. “So, mister Dread Wyvern-”
“Call me Dakhan.”
“Sorry! So, mister Dakhan…?”
“Yeah… I like this idea.” He gently smiled.

A Tale of Two Curds
I learned this curd recipe from a cooking class and since I love this bakery’s lemon curd I decided to give it a shot at home. Now let me tell you it was not easy for the first curd attempt, I now think curd is something that you need to practice in order to get the feel for how firm the curd should be when you pull it off the heat. So my first curd the tangerine one came out a little thicker more like a butter. As you can see in the picture. But the lime one came out perfectly with that nice creamy mouth feel. Now curds to most people are probably some fancy item that they never have had or maybe even heard of. But to me they remind me of my childhood and little ladies lunches with my mother. We would have finger sandwiches and it was mother daughter time that I cherished (even when my sister would come). There was always some kind of curd that was served with crackers or bread. Now I can’t lie to you I wasn’t too crazy about it at first but eventually it was one of my favorite parts. As a few of the finger sandwiches were not of my liking so I would trade with my mom. I’m sure she loved trading as she didn’t receive the whole experience of every sandwich offering but as all mothers do she happily let me eat her sandwiches. So here’s to you mom.
Tangerine and Lime Curds
105g of Juice ( I used lime for one curd and tangerine for the other)
1 tablespoon of zest from the citrus (unless you are making lemon curd then you don’t need the zest)
72g of sugar
164g of eggs
72g of sugar
206g of butter, cold unsalted, cubed
In a medium saucepan, combine juice with zest and the first amount of sugar. Bring to a simmer. Combine eggs with the second amount of sugar. Temper the eggs with about half of the hot juice mixture and then return the mixture to the pan and continue to cook on a low heat until 165 degrees or until it start to get firm but not when its actually firm. Remove it from the heat and pour into a mixing bowl. Add butter when the mixture has cooled slightly and once most of the butter has been incorporated blend with an immersion blender until smooth but make sure you keep the blender submerged so that you don’t aerate the mixture. Then place in a plastic storage container with plastic wrap pressed against the top of the curd so it does not form a skin.
These biscuits are quick and easy and I needed something to serve with the curd that I made. I can’t just send curd to P’s work. So I made these. Most people probably already have a go to biscuit recipe but if you don’t these are perfect. I learned these in a cooking class but they had orange zest and hazelnuts in them. So feel free to flavor these as you wish. I also learned that you should not twist the biscuit cutter when cutting them. It seals the edges so then the flaky layers can’t steam themselves open. So keep that in mind. But they come out perfectly light and flaky and really highlight the curd.
Biscuits 2 ½ cups of flour
4 teaspoons of baking powder
2 tablespoons of sugar
½ teaspoon of salt
2/3 cup of cold unsalted butter cubed
1 ¼ cups of heavy cream
2 ½ cups of flour
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Cut butter into the mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add cream until just combined. Dough can be dropped on to a parchment lined baking sheet or patted out and cut into biscuits. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. I sprinkled the top of these with a little sugar so that they would be a little sweeter to serve with the curd.

Design consultants unveil new look for emergency facilities on Bainbridge
The island's new emergency facilities will fit right in with the rest of Bainbridge.
Consultants with Mackenzie, Inc. — the agency hired to design the updated fire and police facilities — gave residents a sneak peak Wednesday into what each option may look like.
"We're trying to expose earth tones, and we want to have timbers that are exposed," said Jeff Humphreys of Mackenzie said.
"We're just looking at the textures and the general geometries of the space."
After two public meetings earlier this spring, the consultants combined public input to design facades for each facility that utilize natural materials like masonry and exposed timber.
During Wednesday's unveiling, the architects went over the designs for each of the Bainbridge Island Fire Department's three stations, Bainbridge Island's police station and a larger design for a combined police and fire building.
Each building will be designed to balance contemporary and traditional elements.
Much like Bainbridge's city hall, each will utilize heavy timber, deep overhangs and vaulted ceilings with windows to bring in natural light.
The designs will emphasize a layout and composition that invites people inside.
All three fire stations will contain a training room, storage facilities, sleeping quarters, a kitchen area and truck garages along with administration offices.
Likewise, the stations and stand-alone police station will contain floor-to-ceiling windows, slanted roofs and lumber bearings.
The stand-alone police station will be outfitted to include a briefing room, evidence storage, armory, offices, multi-use community room and fitness area with lockers and showers.
Though the same design theme will carry into a combined public facility, the consultants said it will be made to house the functions of the police station and Station 21 in a two-story building.
The building will contain some shared-use aspects like a garage for impounded vehicles, and a briefing and community room. Administration offices and functions for each department will be placed at different sides of the building, though.
The living quarters for fire department staff will also be placed in the second story.
The consultants have not yet determined the pros and cons to building a combined facility versus two stand-alone buildings for the departments.
Humphreys said Wednesday, however, that determining what both buildings will need to function is the first step in identifying the cost differences.
"When we get into this level of detail, now we know exactly how many doors there are," he said.
"We know how many windows there are. We know where we're putting carpet, where we're putting concrete. All these things can actually be taken off as opposed to just applying the square footage costs associated."
Rich Mitchell, the managing principal for the project and a Bainbridge resident, agreed that the past few months of work the consultants have completed sets the path for a more cohesive design.
"In our needs assesment, we've learned over the years that at least going through this first phase – taking this first pass, getting some ideas on aesthetics, understanding the block plan, testing it on the site, doing a 3D like this – gives us a measure of accuracy for the needs assessment," he explained.
"But it's not the design yet."
The consultants will itemize a budget in the coming months to bring to the Bainbridge Island City Council and the fire department's board of commissioners.
At that time, both groups will discuss how to fund the project.

From Herald-dispatch.com‘Alias’ gets a different vibe
Sunday 11 July 2004, by xanderbnd
This month, Greg Grunberg and the rest of the "Alias" cast will begin filming a new season of the cult hit ABC program starring Jennifer Garner. Set as a midseason replacement with new episodes airing in January, "Alias" will be different next season, says Grunberg, who plays agent Eric Weiss. The wacky Rambaldi plotline, with its 500-year-old prophecy of doom, will dissipate, and each episode will be self-contained. Viewers can expect an uninterrupted 20-episode run of new shows.
In the meantime, Grunberg has been working on a pilot about a bounty hunter called "The Catch" for ABC. Co-starring with Orlando Jones and Don Rickles, Grunberg has been developing the show with J.J. Abrams, the "Alias" creator who also worked with Grunberg on teen drama "Felicity." "It’s going to be funny, but it’s action. I’ve always wanted to do a comedy. I did eight episodes of a comedy for NBC with Jason Bateman that never aired."
Unfortunately, this one may not, either. It wasn’t given a spot on the fall schedule.

KARACHI: Mayor Wasim Akhtar, along with several young volunteers, distributed biodegradable garbage bags among the citizens, as part of Reckitt Benckiser's initiative 'Hoga Saaf Pakistan' on Friday.
The three-day campaign started on Friday and will end today (Sunday). During the campaign, around 100,000 biodegradable and environmental friendly bags were distributed in Karachi, to encourage citizens to keep their surroundings clean.
The volunteers distributed biodegradable bags among citizens at 20 separate areas in the metropolis and informed them about the importance of taking ownership of the city and to collectively work towards making Pakistan clean. Extending his support for the cause, FixIt founder Alamgir Khan also participated on the second day of the campaign.
RCB to launch cleanliness drive from next week
The activity, 'Let's Not Litter Our Streets', took place at various traffic lights on roads and at roundabouts of not just Karachi but also in Lahore and Islamabad, said Ramsha Wasti, 'Hoga Saaf Pakistan' the project head in Karachi. According to Wasti, around 100 volunteers are involved in the activity. These include employees of Reckitt Benckiser and university and school-going students.
"The idea behind launching this campaign is that cleanliness should be started individually by each one of us. Every individual should take responsibility for ensuring a clean environment for ourselves, our homes and our neighbourhoods," Ramsha told The Express Tribune.
The five-year campaign, 'Hoga Saaf Pakistan', was launched by Reckitt Benckiser with the aim to clean the country by encouraging individuals to take responsibility of cleanliness and disposing trash in designated areas, instead of roads and streets.

Tyler, The Creator has made no secret of his admiration for Pharrell, Eminem and the late MF DOOM growing up, but one rapper who’s currently spurring him on from afar is Kendrick Lamar.
In a new interview with XXL, whose Fall 2021 issue he graces the cover of, the former Odd Future frontman talks about his love for K. Dot’s recent verse on Baby Keem’s “Family Ties,” which he admits has “ruined” him (in a good way).
In fact, he loves the vocal-shifting verse so much he has apparently been hitting Kendrick’s line every other day trying to discuss it with him.
“You know why it ruined me? Because it’s someone at that level still gunning,” Tyler, The Creator said. “He’s trying new voices. He’s trying new shit. He’s still learning. You can tell he was off his phone for a few months.” He added the verse has encouraged him to “just stay weird and stay tryin.'”

— Tyler, The Creator (@tylerthecreator) September 27, 2021
Taken from Baby Keem’s recently-released debut album The Melodic Blue, “Family Ties” finds Kendrick Lamar toying with new cadences while putting the entire rap game on notice. “Smokin’ on top fives/Motherfuck that album, fuck that single/Burn that hard drive/Ain’t nobody safe/When I come up killin’ everybody that’s outside,” he raps.
Earlier this month, the song peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Kendrick his highest-charting hit since 2018. It also marked a career high for his cousin and pgLang signee Baby Keem.
This isn’t the first time Tyler, The Creator has spoken about Kendrick Lamar’s influence on him. During a concert in 2019, Tyler revealed a conversation with Kendrick gave him the confidence to sing on his Grammy-winning album IGOR.
“I know I’m not the best singer, but a friend of mine named Kendrick, I played him some stuff and he said, ‘Oh, this shit is just feeling. You weren’t worried about the technical — being perfect with your vocal. It was actual emotion,'” he told the crowd. “When he said that, it was like, ‘Oh shit! You’re right!’
“That’s why I don’t try to always get people to sing my [parts] — sometimes I’m like, ‘Fuck it, I’ll sing it.’ Because someone else can’t really sing my truth and what I’m trying to say.”
Elsewhere in his XXL interview, Tyler, The Creator spoke about linking up with DJ Drama on his latest album CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, his sexuality (“I’m just living life, brother”) and soaking up game from JAY-Z’s lyrics (“I’m one of the few who’s really listening and learned how to kind of run businesses since I was 17, because of [JAY-Z]”).

Getting the Most from Workforce Management Software
Businesses choose to update their employee time and attendance systems and rostering software for many reasons. But most are looking for scheduling software offering an accurate, impartial way of paying their staff for hours worked, and use rostering software to avoid outdated, inefficient and potentially inaccurate punch clocks or paper time sheets.
If you are looking into time and attendance software, it needs to be easily understood by all your employees, at all levels of computer literacy. It's also worth purchasing this workforce management software with your company's future expansion in mind, so you can scale your time and attendance software with your organisation's growth.
The best scheduling software also keeps track of time off, and integrates directly with a range of payroll systems. Built-in features allowing staff to receive messages, or allow workers to request time off are part of some rostering software applications. Equally, with some time and attendance systems, sick leave and holidays can be automatically included with hours worked, for easy reporting.
Of course, when you are considering time and attendance systems, security of information is a crucial factor, along with efficiency and affordability. Your scheduling software also needs to be reliable and easy to maintain. With many different types of scheduling software on today's market, bear these points in mind as you choose workforce management software for your organisation.

Last night I went to see Avatar in 3D with Mag and Melissa. It was a little challenging to get tickets and we were almost ready to give up, but I am sooo glad that we didn’t. To say that it was spectacular doesn’t even remotely do it justice. The cinematography was phenomenal, I loved the characters, and I thought the storyline was very apt given the times we are currently living in.
I know a lot of people have complained about how they thought that the plot was lame. Of those people, I have to ask, how jaded have we become as a society that people would think that the idea of a circle of life, interconnected energy and people who care for a planet is a stupid idea? Our planet is in dire need of some love and attention and yet, here we people sit saying “oh, climate change is a hoax” or “I don’t care about that, I just want to buy a new car” or “fuck that asshole who cut me off at the gas station”. At times I succumb to these feelings too, but that doesn’t mean that i don’t want to change, don’t want to be better, don’t believe we can change.
I loved the people of the planet in Avatar, and was blown away by the amazing imagination that went into developing the scenery and their connectedness to the planet. I just wish that everyone else could see our own planet with the awe that everyone watched Avatar’s planet with. Especially because our own planet is equally amazing and wonderful.
Watching this movie made me, for the two hours of the movie, come into a presence that I have been trying to achieve for a while now. I write this blog post, so that i remember that, if only because so far,that I have this is the longest i have been able to maintain this feeling. I wrote about “The Power of Now” recently, and in it, the author talks about being present and how doing this may be the only thing that saves our species. I fully agree with this point of view, and seeing Avatar made me think of what kind of presence might be necessary. I can’t do anything to change anyone else, but I am certainly going to try my hardest to be the change i want to see!

The China Post news staff
The China Post news staff–Motorists in no hurry to refuel their oil tanks can wait for until tomorrow as the two major Suppliers of oil products are expected to shave their fuel prices for the second week in a row. CPC Corp., Taiwan, the state-run oil company, is widely seen as set to reduce domestic gasoline and diesel oil prices by at least NT$0.30 per liter, starting on Sunday. Fuel suppliers in the price sector, including Formosa Petrochemical Co. of the Formosa Plastics Group (FPG), are expected to follow the lead of the government enterprise on the same day. Senior executies at CPC said the planned price cuts reflect the decline in international crude oil prices.
Rising demand for crude oil usually forces up prices when entering the winter season. Howvever, the crudie oil prices had taken a downturn for the past week mainly because of grown concern about severe global economic slump caused by weak economic performance in the United States and the persistent debt crises in European nations, they said. The oil price shaving will affect all categories and grades of fuel products including gasoline and diesel products. The exact new fuel prices will be announced later to take effect on tomorrow. The CPC executives continue urging motorists and the general consumers to exercise energy conservation because the crude oil price is projected to remain at high level of US$100 to US$120 per barrel unless the international business conditions suffer severe setbacks.

WATCH NOW: Full 30-minute Q&A with Suze Orman and Devin Miller of SecureSave
NYC joins other states and localities with pay transparency law
NYC’s new law was originally meant to kick in months earlier in May, but pushback from companies meant it was delayed until November.
The law states that beginning Nov. 1, “employers advertising jobs in New York City must include a good faith salary range for every job, promotion, and transfer opportunity advertised.”
The New York City Commission on Human Rights explains that this “good faith” range must represent the minimum and maximum wages the employer “honestly believes at the time they are listing the job advertisement that they are willing to pay the successful applicant(s).”
The state of California also made headlines earlier for signing a new pay transparency law into place as well — expected to go into effect Jan. 1, 2023.
“I think we're in a moment of cultural change in the last few years, where employers are realizing that it's actually to their advantage to be more transparent about pay,” says Andrea Johnson, director of state policy, workplace justice and cross-cutting initiatives at the National Women’s Law Center, based in Washington, DC.
Johnson adds that the country is still contending with a tight labor market, but employers may actually attract workers by posting salary ranges. U.S. job openings unexpectedly rose to 10.7 million in September, despite experts predicting a decline.
Orman adds that it's important for employees to be transparent with each other, as well.
"Because you don't know if the person next to you who's doing less than you is making more than you. So yeah, we should be able to talk about money more freely than any topic out there. Because the topic of money is what affects every single one of our lives in every possible way," Orman explains.
Why it’s important to talk about money
The personal finance celebrity acknowledges it can be hard for people to open up about money, especially in the workplace.
“There's a hesitation about how much you have, how much you don't have. and money is still this topic that's very difficult to personalize and talk about,” she explains.
“And one of the reasons it's very difficult for people … look at what everything costs today and then look at wages. They are not keeping up with what people need.”
In fact, despite growth in wages, workers are seeing a shortfall when compared with the effect of inflation on everyday consumer goods and services.
The median decline in real wages is currently sitting at a little over 8.5%, reports the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
The Fed hiking interest rates has also made it more expensive for consumers to borrow, putting even more financial strain on Americans.
The decline in purchasing power is likely worse for women, who earn 83 cents for every dollar a man makes and often pay more for products. Department of Labor data shows that most racial minority groups earn significantly less on average compared to white workers as well.
Experts like Johnson have pushed for pay transparency laws in order to help fight gender and racial wage gaps.
California will be the first state to require companies with more than 100 employees to show their median gender and racial pay gaps.
“Transparency is power,” Johnson says.
Companies are finding loopholes
There’s been some dispute over whether these pay transparency laws will provide much benefit to workers.
“There's definitely a culture of secrecy in the United States,” says Johnson.
“That comes from a lot of different directions. But it's definitely coming from employers that have long felt that it's to their advantage to keep pay and how they set pay secret.”
Companies in NYC have been finding loopholes, such as using external search firms or hiring workers through word of mouth instead of job advertisements, reports CBS News.
And some NYC firms have posted jobs with very broad pay ranges. For example, The Wall Street Journal is hiring for an executive producer role with a salary range of $50,000 to $180,000 for applicants in the city.
A few companies have reportedly been barring remote work applicants from Colorado, which stipulates that even companies that aren’t based in the state follow its transparency law for Colorado applicants.
And that said, depending on where you live or where you apply for work, each state or locality may have slightly different rules around pay transparency.
Colorado requires employers to include benefits, bonuses, commissions or other compensation on job postings, which NYC’s new law doesn’t mention.
Some states require salary postings on job postings, while others only provide this information upon request or during the application process. Some, like Colorado, may require companies hiring outside of the state to adhere to the same rules.
However, NYC’s new law could be ushering change across the country — Bloomberg reports that several major companies, like Google and IBM, are now posting pay ranges on all their U.S. job postings.
“That's how you get real about money,” Orman says. “By talking about the truth of it.”

With this Oven Roasted Garlic recipe, turn a simple bulb of garlic into a cooking masterpiece that will enhance the flavor of any dish that uses garlic as an aromatic.
Tired of cleaning out that garlic press? Well no more! Garlic can be ready to add to all kinds of dishes, without the messy business of peeling and pressing the garlic. How? Follow the instructions below to learn how to roast an entire garlic bulb in the oven until it is soft, caramelized and ready to use in a variety of recipes. And the leftovers are perfect for freezing for future dishes.
Follow Our Zesty Life on Pinterest for more great recipes and ideas!
PIN this Roasted Garlic recipe to your SIDES Board!
Amazing Oven Roasted Garlic!
- I used a terra cotta garlic roaster for 25 years to cook garlic. It was a simple, classic and loved kitchen piece used frequently, until it cracked and broke. While I still love that baker, I have found a casserole dish and tin foil works well too.
- Garlic is a healthy aromatic that enhances the flavor of many dishes. With this recipe, the cooking time enhances the sweetness of the garlic and makes it slightly caramelized. Sounds hard to resist, doesn’t it?
- Cook multiple bulbs at once and store the extras in the freezer for future dishes.
Ingredients & Variations
GARLIC: Purchase garlic bulbs that are firm, and make sure that they are not too dry or too soft. If there are little green sprouts on the end, the garlic may be old. During the summer months, check out the farmer’s markets for fresh bulbs of garlic. Like other aromatics, such as onions, garlic has a stronger and deeper flavor when it is fresh.
VARIATIONS: Replace the olive oil with butter.
How to Roast Garlic in the Oven
Oven roasted garlic will enhance the flavor of so many dishes! Why not give it a try?
- Cut the top off the bulb and discard the loose skins.
- Place garlic, cut side up, in the baking dish. Sprinkle with olive oil.
- Cover with a lid or tin foil.
- Bake (as per the recipe below).
Recipes With Roasted Garlic
Now that the garlic has finished roasting and the individual cloves are ready to be squeezed out of the bulb, what to do with it?
- Try making a lemon roasted garlic sauce. Just squeeze out the whole head of garlic, mash with a fork, add 1 tablespoon of lemon, salt, and pepper. Mix. This is great added to baked chicken.
- Add some of the roasted cloves to Parmesan Roasted Broccoli, Rosemary Potatoes, Simple Parmesan Pasta With Lemon, Air Fryer Brussels Sprouts, Oven Roasted Asparagus or Lemon Garlic Aioli.
- Another delish idea is to make garlic toast! Slice a baguette, butter each piece, add spread the soft, roasted garlic on top. Then wrap the loaf in tinfoil and bake. Or simply mash some roasted garlic into some softened butter, and spread it on toasted bread or crostini. Fabulous!
Storing Roasted Garlic
First and foremost don’t leave cooked garlic out at room temperature. Garlic can easily grow dangerous bacteria. So make sure not to eat garlic that smells off or is brown.
Refrigeration: Place the whole cooked bulb in an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days. Another idea is to submerge the bulb in olive oil and refrigerate for about a week. The oil will absorb the flavors of the garlic and is superb to use in recipes.
Freezing: Squeeze the garlic out of the bulb onto a clean plate. Place the cloves on a pan lined with parchment and place them in the freezer. Once they are completely frozen, put them in a freezer bag or container. Another option is to remove the cloves from the bulb and mash them. Drop the mashed pieces into some ice cube trays and freeze. Once frozen, remove from trays, place in a freezer bag and return to the freezer. Or finally, and most simply, just freeze the whole bulb in a bag.
Recipes That Use Garlic!
- Smoked Garlic – another easy way to prepare garlic.
- Slow Cooker Honey Garlic Chicken – just 20 minute prep.
- Garlic Hummus Recipe – delicious with roasted garlic.
- Quick Easy Meatloaf – a favorite entree.
Oven Roasted Garlic
- 2 bulbs garlic*
- 2 teaspoons olive oil or butter, plus more to baste if desired
- ⅛ teaspoon salt optional
- Preheat oven to 300F. Line a small casserole dish or baking tray with parchment paper.
- Trim off the top of each bulb of garlic by cutting straight across the top, exposing the bulbs. If necessary, finely trim the bottom of each bulb so it sits flat. Discard loose skins and puncture the bulbs with a fork (about 10-15 spots each).
- Place garlic in the baking dish and sprinkle each bulb with about 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Season with salt if desired.
- Cover with a lid or with foil paper. Bake for 2 hours, basting with oil several times (not critical!).
- To remove garlic, squeeze or use a fork to pop the cloves out.
- Serve warm as a spread on bread or crackers, or use in recipes.
- *You can roast as many bulbs as you’d like at one time.
- If the dish is crowded, it may take a little longer to roast.
- It’s worth it to make a lot at once, and freeze for future use!
- Garlic can also be roasted at a higher temperature of 425˚F for 30-60 minutes.

Futtock Shrouds is the second album and first full length album by She Shanties. Formed in 2011, She Shanties perform all over the UK and Europe and are an all female a capella group. As they put it, “we’re women, we sing shanties”. Now many may be wondering about the album title but it is most appropriate for an album involving shanties and songs of the sea. Futtock Shrouds are rope, wire or chain links in a traditional square rigged ship under the crow’s nest. So already this album is more educational than most; it’s always good to learn something new every day.
We begin the album with “Whiskey Johnny” and you’re immediately hit with the precise harmony the band has. Solo during the verses and full group during chorus, does give it a crew kind of feel to the song. Now I hear the Pride O’ Bedlam version so it’s welcome to hear a different take on it. I really enjoy the end of the song about coming back for more.
“The Light From the Lighthouse” follows in the same style as “Johnny”, with a soloist and then the entire group. This rendition feels almost like a gospel version of the song, which I am really digging. There are some interesting things going on during the all, some highs and lows that are all evident that really gives the song a lot of range. The mixing of the song has to be commended, one of the best I’ve heard in an a capella recording. LOVE this rendition, may very well be my favorite version of this song.
Up next we have “Noah’s Ark” and it immediately has the band living up to their name. This absolutely sounds like an old sea shanty. We also have a third different soloist I think and that’s always a welcome sight to me when a band is able to spread the heavy lifting around. Not only that but that each one is stout at the task and brings a different element to each song. Maybe it was just the title, but I was not expecting to having such a strong reaction to this song.
“Shenandoah” for some reason took me immediately to some Clann An Drumma songs. I’m just gonna assume it’s the accent, but it is really working on this song. Maybe a bit too slow for the fourth song in the album, but that’s personal taste. This is a fantastically diverse song that is taking my ears all over the place in the best way possible.
Now “Ben Backstay” could easily be found in the Musical Blades or The Jolly Rogers. The story of a bo’sun that could easily be turned into a bawdy song since it’s already borderline there. A fun little number that keeps that strong shanty feeling, which I am enjoying. It’s not just the well known sea shanties, the ladies are pulling from all over and it’s really appreciated. The highlight of the song for me is the always take it neat towards the end of the song.
“One More Day” is a song we are familiar with here in the states and this rendition has their own touch on it. The chorus is how we are used to hearing the song but the deeper soloist is unexpected at first. The chorus singing is at the same level of “Lighthouse”; in fact this also has the gospel feel to it. I think I would see the audience sing along with this song.
There are similarities often between railroad and sea shanties and “Hog-Eye Man” is a great example of that. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this song but I am really digging it. It brings me a bit to “Rattlin Bog” but I’m not quite sure why. Again, like “Ark”, I’m surprised by how much I enjoyed this song.
“Waiting for the Day” has lyrics that almost everyone can relate to. I can already see this song being a huge audience favorite based on the subject matter alone. The fact that it sounds absolutely stunning is an added bonus. It just goes to show how people haven’t changed all that much over the centuries as this song could have been written this year. “Lighthouse” now has a challenger for favorite song on this album.
Maybe the most known traditional song on the album, “Sugar In The Hold” knocks your socks off with that first chorus. We often make the turn it to 11 jokes when we play pirate-core songs, but these ladies turn it to 11 on the chorus. I would put this against any version of “Sugar” and once again I find myself with maybe a new favorite of the song. This following “Day” and “Hog-Eye” it appears She Shanties have found their stride on the album.
“Bound Down Trinidad” is another shanty I am not familiar with and to be honest that makes me sad. I again find myself taken to church but not so much gospel. No this feels much more, Gregorian Chant, if that makes sense. The deep harmony they achieve is touching me down in the cockles of my heart. Nothing against the soloist but I almost want the entire song nothing but the harmony, I’m enjoying it that much.
I misspoke earlier, “Bully in the Alley” is the most well known Shanty on this album and they definitely do it justice. Already this song has more energy to it than I find in most renditions. Again we find multiple things going on in the chorus that takes the song to a whole different level. How they are able to get this level of melody with just singing is fantastic.
We end with the appropriately named “The Farewell Shanty” and what a glorious end. Listening to it I am actually sad I’ll likely never get to hear this at the end of a faire day, as it would be such an end. Not a sing along like “Health to the Company”, but still touching you deep down in your soul. Much like Ye Banished Privateers and Pat Razket ended their albums with the exact right song so have She Shanties.
At the Inn we only really have one other true a capella group, and they're all men. She Shanties, with this album, have marked their spot as the premier a capella women’s shanty group in the world. I didn’t necessarily consider myself a huge a capella fan but this album very well may have me rethinking that statement. This album has proven these ladies are masters of their craft and keep the shanty tradition alive and well. If you get a chance make sure to catch them live as I expect it’s a wondrous event to behold.
A female shanty crew? Yea, verily! … Though She Shanties are a bit different – 12 women who came together almost by accident at Whitby in 2011, quickly discovered the vital spark of kinship and that they sounded good together (and almost instinctively so). Since then, they’ve evolved into a veritable folk-family and graced numerous festival stages, releasing a toes-in-the-water EP in 2015 to enthusiastic reviews (including mine in this mag!). This follow-up fuller-length offering shows how accomplished the ensemble has become, a punchy, full-on chorale of glorious parts, harmonies and unison that’s thoroughly infectious – arranged, yes (to a certain extent), but never ‘polite’.
She Shanties include in their ample ranks no fewer than three sets of sisters, while some members’ names (Cath Tyler, Rachel Hamer, Ruth & Sadie Price) you’ll definitely have come across in other folk contexts. All are singers of individual character, and the shantyman’s duty is invariably shared out equitably, receiving lusty and charismatic crew support. (Crew members are named on the package, but it would’ve been good to have identified individual track leaders too.) Naturally, the disc’s title is suitably racy (like the Spanker Boom EP – no giggling at the back there!), and She Shanties again seem to have struck that enviable balance between committed and respectful performance and having a whale of a time (i.e. massive fun) while completely engaging their listeners. The 12 tracks on this CD cover the gamut of favourite shanties and songs of the sea, all sung out with abundant gusto and brio. What’s not to like?
She Shanties’ first full length album is a carefully curated sea shanty collection. Keeping production at a minimum, the She Shanties sing without accompaniment in the traditional call and response format.
To say that the She Shanties stand out as an all female shanty group is to state the obvious, but their northern accents also stand out in a genre dominated by a certain Cornish shanty group. Comparison with Port Isaac’s Fisherman’s Friends is inevitable; the She Shanties, singing accompanied, have an unembellished and clean sound. Their less dramatic approach lets the lyrics stand center stage and their subjects feel accessible. The songs are nurtured and emotionally loaded.
Not that this should suggest that the Sea Shanties sing without imagination. One More Day is performed and stylized with enough theatrics to make it interesting without becoming too much. Songs such as One More Day and Hog-Eye Man maintain that industourous work song rhythm at the core of so many sea shanties. If those are the work hard songs, Whisky Johnny and Wait for the Day, namely payday, are the play hard songs.
Tracks such as Shenandoah, Sugar in the Hold, and Bully in the Alley, are descriptive of a sailor’s life and dreams. Finally there are a few jokers, The Light from the Lighthouse, has an obvious nautical theme, but musically and thematically - being lost and guided home by the light - it has the distinct characteristics of its gospel source material. Conversely, Noah’s Ark has no gospel message and instead provides the origin story of the dog’s wet nose.
She Shanties deserve some special recognition for their sleeve notes which are informative while perfectly efficient. In this sense the sleeve notes exemplify Futtock Shrouds: pleasant, without pretense and true to the source material.
Excerpt from a review by Tony Birch on the fatea Magazine website.
The She Shanties … A no-nonsense group, they introduce themselves in a wonderfully direct style, 'We're women, We sing shanties' and they do it very well indeed. There are twelve in the line-up and they're each a good singer in their own right. … the result is an album of real quality where every voice can be separately heard and the lyrics are crystal clear.
Futtock Shrouds is their first full album … wonderful … fast paced tunes … balanced out by some more considered songs.
This is an album that everyone who enjoys well presented traditional music should get hold of and it deserves to be widely heard. It's now released and available through the website but if you get the chance buy it at a show or festival after seeing The She Shanties.

Review by Richard Catton for Summer 2018 edition of EDS (The EFDSS magazine).
This is what folk is all about - a group of women with a shared passion for singing and songs, getting together to make music with their voices and have some fun.
The delightfully named Futtock Shrouds is the first full-length release from the 12-strong She Shanties who, in their own words "got together in Whitby in 2011 for a bit of a sing but realised we had something special".
The girls have done their research and hauled up a nice selection of shanties and work songs from both sides of the Atlantic, each delivered by a rotating roster of lead vocalists while the others add harmony.
By its own admission the group doesn't get together too often to rehearse and the delivery is by no means tight. But these are great songs (the tale of a drunken sailor decapitated by hungry shark made me laugh out loud) and I suggest that if you're organising a singaround by the sea this summer you should reserve a dozen seats for these grog-swigging gals.

Tommy Tuberville's three positives, three negatives
Every Tuesday, Tommy Tuberville gives us insights from last week's game.
1: An encouraging start: Tech scored on its first offensive series for the first time since week five against Baylor. A 35-yard pass play to Austin Zouzalik, a 17-yard run by Eric Stephens and a 3-yard touchdown pass from Detron Lewis to Darrin Moore got the Red Raiders off to a more favorable start than usual.
2: Kicking game: Four of Jonathan LaCour's five punts weren't returned, and the Sooners had to fair catch two inside their 20. After LaCour hit a bad punt, Donnie Carona replaced him and averaged 43 yards with a total of minus-2 return yards. Harrison Jeffers and Eric Stephens gave the offense field position outside the 30-yard line three times on kickoff returns. "Our kicking game was solid early," Tuberville said.
3:Run game: Tech's 182 rushing yards was the second-most allowed by Oklahoma all season (Air Force ran for 351 in a loss to the Sooners). There were big runs from Baron Batch (37 yards), Eric Stephens (17), Aaron Crawford (19) and Taylor Potts (15).
1: Bad tackling: It's safe to say Oklahoma's 246 rushing yards was boosted by yards after contact. "We had more missed tackles in this game than any one game all year," Tuberville said.
2: Penalties: Tech has cut back in penalties compared to recent years, but Saturday was the second straight road game in which the Red Raiders have been hurt by flags. They racked up nine for 115 yards. "We had three or four personal foul penalties," Tuberville said. "We for some reason continue to get those, and those are disappointing."
3:No solid series strung together: After driving for a touchdown on its opening drive, Tech missed two more chances to score in the first quarter and finished the game with eight punts. Against the Tech defense, OU never went more than two series in a row without scoring, at least not before it was 45-7. "We just had no consistency on either side," Tuberville said.

When it gets cold outside and it's been humid the night before, my 1996 Olds Ciera doesn't start in the morning. It's happening more and more often. It turns over just fine, but the car won't start. In the front, the fuel pump relay clicks - I've already replaced that - and there's a hum from the back (guessing it's the fuel pump - the fuel line feels like it's pulsing when this happens). I leave the key in the "on" position and the humming from the back gets louder. Once the humming stops, the fuel pump relay stops clicking and the car starts every time right away. Once it's started, it runs fine - no stalling or power loss. When it's warm, this never happens. I just changed the plugs and wires and the fuel pump relay. Before I drop the tank and go after the fuel pump, any other suggestions?

This press release just arrived in my inbox:
In-n-Out Burger opens in Tucson
IRVINE, CA -- In 1948, Harry Snyder developed In-N-Out Burger, California's first "drive-thru" hamburger stand. Today, hamburgers are still made-to-order, shakes are still made with real ice cream and In-N-Out associates are still treated like family.
Starting April 24, 2007, In-N-Out hamburgers, shakes and fries will be available at our newest location in Tucson.
Andy Castaneda, who has been a veteran of In-N-Out for 11 years, will manage the new restaurant, located at 3711 Broadway Boulevard. The 3,220 square-foot restaurant will employ approximately 50 In-N-Out Burger Associates.
There will be one drive-thru lane, with indoor accommodations for 70 customers. The new In-N-Out Burger will be open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 a.m. and until 1:30 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
As with all locations, fresh ingredients will be supplied to the store from the In-N-Out warehouse. Hamburger patties are made from 100% pure American beef. Whole chucks are boned and ground by In-N-Out's own butchers. All patties are produced and delivered fresh throughout the week to the stores and are never frozen. French fries are made from fresh, whole potatoes and are hand diced.
In-N-Out was started as California's first drive-thru and has locations throughout California, Nevada, and Arizona. In-N-Out was founded by Harry and Esther Snyder and is still owned and operated by the Snyder family. None of the units are franchised. The corporate offices are located at 4199 Campus Drive, Suite 900, Irvine, CA, 92612.

I’ve had a troubled relationship with editing over the years. On the one hand I’ve often felt trapped in a dark room staring at a screen while time dissolves and my hair goes grey. On the other hand, it can be a hugely rewarding creative process where months of hard work pay off and life starts to make sense again.
Today we’re going explore the process, pitfalls, and mastering of editing from the point of view of a professional editor.
Very often when you’re working on set you don’t shoot things in chronological order. This is why, as a director or cinematographer, it’s crucial that you spend some time editing your own work. The first time I edited a short film that I had shot, I found I was overlooking details. Shots didn’t flow, and as a result I couldn’t tell the story that was on the script. This was because at the time I didn’t understand the language of film. There’s a translation that happens in the filmmakers mind between what they see on set, and how it comes together in the edit.
In the early days of film and television, becoming an editor required special training and expensive equipment. Nowadays you really have no excuse not to learn the fundamentals of editing. That’s not to say becoming a good editor requires any less skill, time, or perseverance, rather that the barriers to entry don’t exist anymore. Whether you want to shoot, write, direct, produce, or act, understanding the edit will change the way you work forever.
Back in 2013 on one of the first music videos I ever directed, I had the privilege of working with professional editor Kathy Pryce at the Bristol post-production house Films@59. The video was a Victorian themed Christmas knees-up hosted by The Florin Street Band, involving around 100 cast and crew. Kathy has worked on countless BBC TV series and other broadcast productions and she did an amazing job at bringing this video together. Kathy has seen editing evolve from tape and floppy disks to lightning speed digital media, so I thought it would be useful to ask her a few questions and find out what it’s like to be an editor in such a fast-changing industry.
1. Can you tell me a bit about yourself – how did you get into editing?
I started my editing career in a cutting room as an assistant on 16mm film, as I wanted to be a wildlife camera person. Twenty plus years ago it was an unwritten rule that anyone wanting to make films should spend some time in the cutting room to understand the craft of editing. The editor I was assisting showed me an action cut and at that point I fell in love with editing and abandoned the camerawoman idea. Once that project finished I then spent several years assisting on video tape until I had enough experience and confidence to branch out on my own.
2. Tell me about how you as an editor work within a production. At what point in the process do you get involved and to what extent?
Editors in TV normally start on a film once everything has been shot, editors working on feature films normally start soon after principal photography begins. Some projects also budget for an editor to be involved in scripting, which is always an exciting time.
At the beginning of a project, I would get to know the rushes (raw footage), and talk through ideas with the director. This is always an important time for me as it’s the first time I will see the rushes so I make lots of notes based on first impressions. We would then put together a rough cut, or groups of sequences, according to the order of the script. After a first viewing we would then start to cut down and polish the film until we felt happy to show other members of the production and get their opinions. We would then fine cut and deliver the film to finish the post production process depending on what was needed – ie: dubbing, grading, audio mixing etc. On some projects, an editor will oversee this process, but normally my job ends once the final cut has been approved.
3. What makes a project ‘great’ for you to work on? Is there a particular style, way of working, or team that makes a difference?
A ‘great’ project always depends on the relationship between editor and director for me – his/her vision, and the story. The crew and production and post-production team can also make a project great. Creative and exciting footage also makes a project fun to work on.
4. How has the process of both working as an editor and becoming one changed over recent years?
On film there was a set path to becoming an editor, and an assistant would typically spend a few years learning the craft of editing in the cutting room before becoming an editor themselves. Many people remained assistants and worked with the same editor for their entire career. The relationship was that strong. On tape some productions needed an assistant editor, but with digital filmmaking there doesn’t seem to be a set path to becoming an editor, and assistants don’t seem to spend much time in the cutting room.
Working on tape, an assistant would digitise the rushes in real time, we would edit at a reduced resolution and export a final cut sequence called an EDL (edit decision list) onto a floppy disc. Various discs would be created after final cut according to who would be using them. Eg: dubbing editors, online editors, grading and final mix. As a result, few changes were made once a final cut had been signed off.
Working with digital media, one of the challenges is keeping up with all the formats, technology changes so quickly. But with a wider variety of platforms, particularly the internet, comes a potentially wider audience and therefore the hope that more people will see your work. Making videos is also more accessible to people now, which naturally has its pros and cons.
5. What is the most useful book or video that has influenced you most?
Walter Murch and his writings have been a great source of inspiration for me, as well as many other film technique books. And watching/studying good (and sometimes bad) films, documentaries and tv shows.
6. What is the best investment you ever made? Of money, time, or energy.
I did a short course at the National Film and Television School (England), and also spent as much time with editors (quietly!!!) in the cutting room as I could.
7. What is your greatest challenge as an editor? Either day to day or on a project basis.
Managing expectations with footage that doesn’t equal what is in the producer/director’s head is probably one of the greatest challenges.
Creatively, cutting with little or no cut aways makes an editors’ job very difficult, and the film suffers as a result. Well timed and well shot cut aways can really make a good film, great.
8. Are there any bad recommendations you hear in your profession?
“If you can’t solve it, dissolve it”
“We’ll fix it in post”
9. What would you suggest to an aspiring editor straight out of film school? Any misconceptions that they should be aware of?
I would suggest spending as much time as possible talking to “old school” editors and understanding how films were made in the past. Editing is a mysterious craft, and mastering rhythm, pacing and story structure comes with experience and having “it” – kind of like an x factor!
I would be wary of any promises of big money payouts when the film is a “success” after you’ve worked for free.
10. Any ideas or experiences you would like to share?
I once read “editing is directing for the second time”. I think it’s a great phrase to describe editing.
I hope you’ve found these insights useful. Perhaps you were thinking about learning to edit or you picked up some useful tips, let me know in the comments.
Over the coming weeks I’ll be interviewing other filmmakers and extracting top tips and lessons, including how to shoot with the edit in mind. Stay tuned by subscribing to the newsletter below.

National Gum Care Month: Tips and Tricks For Healthy Gums
September is National Gum Care Month! This is especially relevant in a country in which 47.2% (or 67 million Americans) suffer gum disease. Gums truly house and protect your teeth. Hence, maintaining healthy gums is essential for overall oral health. Neglecting gum care can lead to gum disease like gingivitis and various dental issues. In this blog post, we will provide you with 8 valuable tips to help you take proper care of your gums not just during National Gum Care Month (September), but year-round!
#1 Brush Gently and Thoroughly
We cannot stress this enough: Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Be gentle while brushing, as aggressive brushing can harm your gums. Use a fluoride toothpaste and brush in a circular motion to remove plaque and food particles effectively. Make sure to brush in the back!
#2 Floss Regularly
Flossing helps remove debris and plaque from areas that your toothbrush can't reach, such as between teeth and along the gumline. Aim to floss each night to prevent the buildup of bacteria. This bacteria can lead to gum disease, so it is essential to be proactive by flossing. Find what type of floss works best for you! There are regular string floss, floss picks, and even water flossing devices like the WaterPik.
#3 Choose a Gum-Friendly Diet
Just like some foods and drinks can be harmful to your teeth, they can also be harmful to gums. Avoid sugar snacks and beverages and those with a lot of artificial sweeteners, dyes, and ingredients in general. Incorporate items rich in vitamins, minerals, and valuable nutrients instead. Studies show that foods like leafy greens, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins can contribute to strong gums.
#4 Stay Hydrated
Like what you eat matters, what you drink also matters. Drinking water helps wash away food particles and bacteria that can lead to gum problems. It also promotes saliva production, which plays a vital role in maintaining oral health. Of course, staying hydrated is one of the best things you can do for your body overall as well.
#5 Use Mouthwash
An antimicrobial or antiseptic mouthwash can help reduce plaque and bacteria in your mouth as well. This can also be prescribed based on your needs and the level of bacteria in your mouth already. Please ask us or your local dentist about what mouthwash would best fit your needs!
#6 Clean Your Retainers
If you have retainers, you know retainers can create a snug environment in your mouth. This environment can promote the growth of bacteria and fungi. If not cleaned regularly, these microorganisms can accumulate on the retainer's surface and transfer to your gums, potentially leading to gum infections and irritation. Be sure to clean your retainers, following the appropriate instructions. This is a task that can easily be forgotten, but be sure to prioritize it. Cleaning your retainers is just as important as brushing your teeth!
#7 Stress Management
Additionally, High stress levels can weaken the immune system and make you more susceptible to gum problems. Practice stress management techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing to support overall oral health. Stress management can also include using a Google calendar or day-planner to stay organized and carve out time for healthy habits like the ones listed above.
#8 Regular Dental Check-Ups
Finally, schedule regular dental appointments for professional cleanings and check-ups! Your dentist can identify early signs of gum disease and provide personalized advice for maintaining healthy gums. At Plantation Dental, we believe in active prevention as well as early detection to take care of your gums and teeth in a sustainable manner.

Warrington 50 Bradford 22: Do or die for Bulls as Potter feels pinch
Mick Potter admitted he will be forced to walk away from Bradford if a rescue deal is not concluded early this week.
Potter has been working on a voluntary basis for Bradford’s last three games, but conceded that he can no longer afford to work for nothing after this nine-try defeat.
Potter said: 'It's nearly that time. We’re coming to the point where everyone needs to make a call.
Blown away: Warrington thrashed crisis club Bradford
'I think it's coming to a climax as far as the people who are talking to the RFL and the administrators, so it’s coming to a head all round.
'A decision will be made formally as to what’s happening, and then I can go from there. It won’t be too far in the distant future.'
Two different parties are believed to be interested in buying the crisis-hit club, but the RFL have already rejected an offer from the ‘ABC Consortium’ after declaring conditions attached to the deal as ‘unacceptable’.
Potter said: ‘I know they’ve been speaking over the weekend and I imagine it’s a priority for the RFL and for Bradford. I’m an optimistic person and I’m hopeful, but I honestly don’t know what’s going on.
‘I’ve had two brief conversations with both (consortia). I’m hopeful, but we’ll wait and see. It’s not right for me to talk about those conversations, but touch wood something positive will happen for Bradford.’
There was little that was positive about this performance from the Bulls, who trailed 32-0 before half time after Warrington made a sensational start.
The emotion that has carried Bradford in recent weeks appeared to run dry during a four-try, nine-minute spell inside the first quarter that killed off any hopes of a shock away win.
With Brett Hodgson rested, Stefan Ratchford took his chance at full back with a superb four-try haul. Wolves’ assistant coach Richard Marshall said: ‘Stefan’s found his feet there. He contributed really well, and not just with his tries.’
Former Australia winger Joel Monaghan got Warrington off to a flyer when he touched down from Rhys Evans’ pass inside the first minute.
Further scores from Richie Myler, Chris Riley and Simon Grix complemented Ratchford’s first two tries as the hosts built a 32-6 half-time lead.
Bradford rallied through Danny Addy (two), Elliott Whitehead and Karl Pryce, but David Solomona kept the Wolves ticking over before Ratchford claimed his third and fourth.
