The Animal Ethics Reader edited by Susan J. Armstrong and Richard G. Botzler. Routledge. 646 pp. Social Creatures: A Human and Animal Studies Reader edited by Clifton P. Flynn. Lantern. 458 pp.
Were it announced tomorrow that anyone who fancied it might, without risk of reprisals or recriminations, stand at a fourth-storey window, dangle out of it a length of string with a meal (labelled 'Free') on the end, wait till a chance passer-by took a bite and then, having entangled his cheek or gullet on a hook hidden in the food, haul him up to the fourth floor and there batter him to death with a knobkerrie, I do not think there would be many takers.
Twelve years earlier, Brophy's novel, Hackenfeller's Ape, brilliantly plays out the arguments we know well today about the how and why, the could and the should, of our confused and contradictory relationship with animals. The animal rights essay caused a ripple at the time but Brophy's pen continues to dazzle and sparkle in the light that now shines that bit more brightly on our relations with animals. She explored the fundamentals of what animal rights means which, in the last 40 plus years, hundreds of philosophers, social scientists, humanitarians, scientists, lawyers, activists and others have expounded upon. Indeed, my personal collection of books relating to animals now exceeds more than 1,300 titles.
If you want more than the latest "how-to-become-an-animal-right-activist" and if you want to deepen your understanding of human-animal relations, where do you begin? I believe Brophy would have been delighted with two recently published and complementary anthologies.
The first is a revised and updated edition of The Animal Ethics Reader edited by Susan J. Armstrong and Richard G. Botzler. It brings together both classic and contemporary readings. It is comprehensively organized into 10 sections (e.g., Theories of Animal Ethics, Animal Experimentation, Animal Law/Animal Activism), which includes 87 articles written by such experts as Tom Regan, Jane Goodall, Carol J. Adams, Donald R. Griffin, Lynda Birke and J. Baird Callicott. Each section ends with a list of further reading and a set of study questions. It is ideal for both activist thinkers and scholars.
Whereas The Animal Ethics Reader is broad in scope, the second anthology, Social Creatures, is focused on the emerging academic field of human-animal studies. HAS is one of our three primary program areas. Indeed, my ASI colleague, Ken Shapiro, has been in the forefront of human-animal studies from its inception and contributes two articles to this collection. Several of the articles included were originally published in the Society & Animals academic journal edited by Ken.
The anthology's editor, Clifton P. Flynn, explains how HAS asks "What can we learn about ourselves from our relationships with other animals? What does the way we think about and treat other animals teach us about who we are?" This is answered by such authorities as Barbara Noske, James A. Serpell, David Nibert and Josephine Donovan. Social Creatures is organized into nine sections covering historical and comparative perspectives of HAS, criminology and deviance, inequality and living and working with other animals.
"Where animals are concerned," Brophy wrote "humanity seems to have switched off its morals and aesthetics—indeed, its very imagination." These two essential anthologies demonstrate that someone's finger is flicking on the light switch.


A common question which comes up is how to find specific data in Dynamics 365. Several tools are available for this, such as Charts, Dashboard, Views, and the SSRS Report Wizard, but my go to tool for this is the Advanced Find feature.
Advanced Find is a powerful ad hoc query tool, and once you understand the basics, there are many features which you may want to explore. This article will discuss the steps to follow for Advanced Find queries, applying filtering logic, and then will discuss often overlooked features.
While we won't be exploring all the functionality available in Advanced Find, this information should put you in a position where you can develop a query, establish filters, adjust the columns of data, and then review the data.
This will open Advanced Find in a new window. A nice feature with the new window functionality, versus opening in-place, is you can have multiple Advanced Find queries open at any given time.
The first thing to do in setting up your query is to set the Look For to what it is you want to report on. This is an important decision, as you will be able to add columns of data from this entity, as well as entities this record is a child to in a one-to-many (1:N) relationship. You will generally want to select the most granular detail for this. An example would be Account and Cases. If I want to see data from Cases but pull some specific information about the Account associated with a Case, I would set the Look For to Case, not Account.
Once the Look For is set, you will need to determine the View to be used for the base filtering. When selecting this, you will have options of: [new] (which has not previously defined filtering logic), any existing System Views, as well as any Personal Views previously created (more on this later). Make an appropriate selection.
Note: These options will change depending upon the initial field selected.
If your query needs to leverage "OR" functionality, Advanced Find can do this as well. Using the query from above, say we want to return a result set where the Created On is On or After the beginning of the year OR the Owner equals Current User. To do this, click on the small down arrow adjacent to each filter, and select the Select Row option.
In the Edit Columns window, you can click on the Add Columns to add additional columns to the Advanced Find query. Keep in mind, you can add fields directly from the Look For entity initially selected (in this scenario, Cases), as well as fields from any parent entity (such as Account, Contact, User, etc…).
Once you have your Advanced Find query complete, click on the Save As button to assign a name to your Personal View. This Personal View will be available to select from your View selector on the Look For entity (Cases), as well as in Advanced Find in the Use Saved View. This saving feature is important, don't overlook this! You've spent the time to develop your query, and this will keep you from having to recreate this each time you need this data!
Those are the basic steps to complete an Advanced Find query. Next, I will discuss often overlooked features in Advanced Find that you can explore.
Advanced Find is a powerful ad hoc query tool, but there are many features which users may be overlooking when using the tool. While what I have included below is not an exhaustive list of all features available, it will provide enough information to explore some of the features offered.
Clicking on the New button will open a blank form for the entity you are running the Advanced Find for, in this scenario Account. This will allow you to create a new record directly from Advanced Find.
This feature will allow you to delete one, or many, records. To use this feature, select the record(s) you would like to delete. With the record(s) selected, the Delete button will become available. After the Delete button is selected, the system will prompt you with a final warning regarding the deletion. Proceed as needed.
There may be times when you need to update multiple records. While the system provides an option around importing a file for this update, sometimes it is just easier to do this manually. To use this feature, select the record(s) you would like to edit. With the record(s) selected, the Edit button will become available. After the Edit button is selected, the system will open a window for the record where the edits can be made.
Depending on how your Duplicate Detection rules are established, there are inevitably times when duplicate records are created. Instead of deleting a specific record, Dynamics 365 allows users to merge these records. When merging records, make sure you are aware of which record is your master record, and which record will become deactivated.
If/when a business process requires you to share records with other users or a Team, this can be done from within Advanced Find. This is extremely helpful when you need to share multiple records at once. To use this feature, select the record(s) you would like to share. With the record(s) selected, the Share button will become available. After the Share button is selected, the system will open the standard window for record sharing.
In the event records need to be reassigned, this function can be performed from within Advanced Find. To use this feature, select the record(s) you would like to re-assign. With the record(s) selected, the Assign button will become available. After the Assign button is selected, the system will open the standard window for record assignment.
Other than the immediate ad hoc inquiry purposes of Advanced Find, the Excel Export is my favorite feature in Advanced Find. This feature allows you to take the dataset returned by an Advanced Find query and export it to Excel. Once the data is in Excel, you can use the tools available in Excel for further analysis.
The most common scenario I use Excel Export is for calculations not captured in Dynamics 365, as well as any ad hoc charts which I may not want to capture in a user or system level Chart or Dashboard. If you plan on using this functionality, consider using the Dynamic options, as you can refresh the Excel file with updated data from Dynamics 365.
While this article did not discuss all capabilities of Advanced Find, it outlined the basic steps to complete a query and some basic features available that you can explore.
If you have any questions about using Advanced Find in Dynamics 365, please connect with us.

[ G.R. No. 139910, September 29, 2000 ]
PHILIPPINE COCONUT AUTHORITY, PETITIONER, VS. CORONA INTERNATIONAL, INC., RESPONDENT.
KAPUNAN, J.:
For failing to strictly comply with the provisions of Sec. 13, Rule 44 of the 1997 Rules on Civil Procedure, which specifies the form and contents of the appellant's brief, petitioner Philippine Coconut Authority's appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 56586. Hence, petitioner invokes the jurisdiction of this Court and seeks the reversal of the resolutions of the court a quo.
As antecedents, respondent corona International Inc. filed a case against petitioner for the recovery of the sum of P9,082,221.14 before the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City. The amount allegedly represented the unpaid balance of the purchase price of communication and computer facilities sold by the respondent to the petitioner as well as interest and damages.[1] Petitioner, in its answer, set up the following defenses: that the installation of said equipment was not done in accordance with good engineering standards and practices; that some of the equipment delivered were not those specified in the bid; that private respondent failed to install the communication system it undertook to put up; and that the certificate of acceptance issued to private respondent was entered either through misrepresentation or collusion. Hence, as counterclaim, petitioner sought the rescission of the contract of sale as well as damages.[2]
On 10 September 1996, the trial court rendered a decision ruling in favor of the respondent, and ordered among others that petitioner pay the respondent the amount of P9,082,068.00, plus interest representing the balance of the contract price as well as P1,000,000 as attorney's fees.[3]
Not satisfied with the decision of the trial court, petitioner elevated the case to the Court of Appeals. In due course, petitioner filed its appellant's brief, to which respondent filed a Motion to Dismiss appeal based on the following grounds: (1) failure of the petitioner to comply with the mandatory requirements of Section 13, paragraphs (a), (c), (d) and (f) of Rule 44 of the Rules of Court; and (2) the palpable dilatory character of the appeal.[4] In a Resolution dated 14 October 1998, the appellate court granted respondent's motion to dismiss, the dispositive portion reads:
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff-appellee's meritorious Motion to Dismiss Appeal is GRANTED, and accordingly this appeal on authority of Section 1(f), Rule 50 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure is DISMISSED.
Petitioner sought reconsideration of the resolution, but the same was denied by the Court of Appeals in its Resolution dated 25 August 1999.[6]
Petitioner now comes before this Court raising the following assignment of errors:
FIRST ERROR
The Honorable Court of Appeals Erred in ruling that Appellant's brief does not Comply with the Requirements prescribed for its contents.
SECOND ERROR
The Honorable Court of Appeals Gravely Erred in Sacrificing Substantial Right in favor of Procedure.
THIRD ERROR
The Honorable Court of Appeals Erred in Dismissing Petitioner (sic) Appeal.[7]
We find the petition meritorious.
In dismissing the appeal before it, the Court of Appeals gave the following explanation:
An examination of the defendant-appellant's brief reveals that it does not comply with the requirements prescribed for its contents. The appellant's brief under the heading Statement of the Case does not contain a clear and concise statement of the nature of the action, nor a summary of the proceedings, nor the nature of the judgment, nor any of the other matters necessary to an understanding of the nature of the controversy, with page references to the record. The defendant-appellant simply averred that This is an appeal from the trial court's Decision,… and thereafter merely quoted the dispositive portion of the said Decision. In the same manner, the defendant-appellant under the heading Statement of Facts failed to asseverate a clear and concise statement in narrative form the facts admitted by both parties and of those in controversy, together with the substance of the proof relating thereto in sufficient detail to make it clearly intelligible, with page references to the record.
xxx[8]
We disagree. Our examination of petitioner-appellant's brief reveals that the same has substantially complied with the requirements set forth in Section 13, Rule 43 of the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure:
SEC. 13. Contents of appellant's brief.—The appellant's brief shall contain, in the order herein indicated, the following:
A subject index of the matter in the brief with a digest of the arguments and page references, and a table of cases alphabetically arranged, textbooks and statutes cited with references to the pages where they are cited;
Under the heading "Statement of the Case," a clear an concise statement of the nature of the action, a summary of the proceedings, the appealed rulings and orders of the court, the nature of the judgment and any other matters necessary to an understanding of the nature of the controversy, with page references to the record;
Under the heading "Statement of Facts," a clear and concise statement in a narrative form of the facts admitted by both parties and of those in controversy, together with the substance of the proof relating thereto in sufficient detail to make it clearly intelligible, with page references to the record;
Under the heading "Argument," the appellant's arguments on each assignment of error with page references to the record. The authorities relied upon shall be cited by the page of the report at which the case begins and the page of the report on which the citation is found; xxx
In compliance with the requirement of Section (c) of the above-quoted, the appellant's brief contained the following "Statement of the Case:"
This is an appeal from the trial court's Decision, the dispositive portion of which reads as follows:
WHEREFORE, in view of all the foregoing premises, judgment is hereby rendered-
1. Ordering the defendant to pay plaintiff the total sum of P9,082,068.00 representing the balance of the contract price for Phase III of the project, the 10% retention for Phase I, II and III of the project, and the contract price for Phase IV of the project;
2. Ordering the defendant to indemnify plaintiff the sum equal to two (2%) per centum of P9,082,068.00 up to March 30, 1995, as actual and for damages;
3. Ordering the defendant to indemnify plaintiff the sum equal to 1 and ½% per cent of P9,082,068.00 monthly from March 30, 1995 up to the time the full amount is fully paid, as and by way of actual damages;
4. The sum of P1,000,000.00 as and for attorney's fee; plus the costs of the suit.
The counterclaim interposed by the defendant is hereby dismissed for lack of evidence to sustain it.
Admittedly, petitioner's above "Statement of the Case" does not strictly adhere to that requirements of Rule 43, section 13 (c). Nonetheless, we should not lose sight of the purpose of Section 13 ( c) which is to apprise the court as to the nature of the case before it. Despite its deficiencies, the nature of the case is easily discernible from a reading of the pleading:
Petitioner's "Statement of the Facts," contains the following allegations:
On 28 January 1992, Appellant Philippine Coconut Authority (hereinafter PCA for brevity) entered into a contract with Appellee Corona International Incorporated (hereinafter Corona for brevity) for the supply and delivery/installation of complete communication facility/system with related office automation hardware. Mr. Charles R. Avila, then Administrator of PCA signed the contract in his capacity as such while Edgardo S. Silverio signed the same in his capacity as President and General Manager of Corona. On 11 February 1992, Corona was paid the agreed mobilization fund in the total amount of P6,727,457.47. Pursuant to the Contract, Corona then had One Hundred Twenty (120) calendar days from receipt of the Mobilization Fund or until June 11, 1992 within which to complete the works, thus:
"The covered equipment/facilities shall be delivered and installed by the Contractor in the places/regions a specified in the Bid Documents within One Hundred Twenty (120) calendar days from the date of receipt of the Mobilization Fund mentioned in the succeeding paragraph hereof, which shall include commissioning of the equipment/network xxx"
On 04 March 1992, Mr. Charles R. Avila, Administrator of PCA, in a Special Order issued 04 March 1992, created an Inspection and Acceptance Committee responsible for the inspection, acceptance and proper documentation of all the units installed and ensure its conformity with the technical specifications as provided for in the contract. The Committee was headed by Mr. Paulino M. Raguindin. On 30 April 1992, Mr. Paulino M. Raguindin issued a certification (Exhibit "28") that items delivered for Phase I under the mentioned Contract has been completed by corona and duly accepted by the Inspection and Acceptance Committee. On 06 May 1992, another certification (Exhibit "29") was issued by Mr. Paulino M. Raguindin. This represented payment for Phase I of the project. On 08 May 1992, another certification of similar tenor was again issued by Mr. Raguindin for which reason Corona was paid P6,054,711.70 (P6,727,457.44 less 10% retention) representing payment for Phase II of the project. Payment [was] received on July 4, 1992. On 29 May 1992, a similar certification (Exhibit "30") was issued by Mr. Raguindin for which reason Corona was paid P5,718,337.60 representing partial payment for Phase III of the project. Payment was received on July 1, 1992. On 29 July 1992, then Administrator CharlesR. Avila was replaced by the Incumbent Administrator, Virgilio M. David (hereinafter Administrator David for brevity). On 25 September 1992, Administrator David engaged the services of Teleconsultant Incorporated for the purpose of evaluating the works of Corona. On 18 January 1993, PCA's Administrator David informed Corona's President, Edgardo Silverio, in a letter dated 14 January 1993 that due to blatant breach of the terms and conditions of the Contract and fraud, PCA was rescinding or annulling the contract. Instead of responding, Corona filed the instant Complaint.
Aside from the lack of page reference to the records, we fail to see how the above fails to comply with Section 13 (d) of Rule 43.
The appellate court rationalizes further its dismissal by stating that:
Needless to state, the purpose of the brief is to present the court in coherent and concise form the point and questions in controversy, and by fair argument on the facts and law of the case, to assist the court in arriving at a just and proper conclusion. A haphazard and pellmell presentation will not do for the brief should be so prepared s to minimize the labor of the court in examination of the record upon which the appeal is heard and determined. It is certainly, 'the vehicle of counsel to convey to the court the essential facts of his client's case, a statement of the questions of law involved, the law he should have applied, and the application he desires of it by the court'." (Casilan vs. Chavez, 4 SCRA 599) There should be an honest compliance with the requirements regarding contents of appellant's brief, and among which is that it should contain "a subject index of the matter in the brief with a digest of the argument and page references."(Salao vs. Salao, 70 SCRA 65)[10]
We do not disagree with the appellate court's above exposition. The requirements laid down in Section 13, Rule 43 are intended to aid the appellate court in arriving at a just and proper conclusion of the case. However, we are of the opinion that despite its deficiencies petitioner's appellant's brief is sufficient in form and substance as to apprise the appellate court of the essential facts and nature of the case as well as the issues raised and the laws necessary for the disposition of the same.
Technical and procedural rules are intended to help secure, and not to suppress, substantial justice. A deviation from a rigid enforcement of the rules may thus, be allowed to attain the prime objective for, after all, the dispensation of justice is the core reason for the existence of courts.[11]
WHEREFORE, the petition is GRANTED. The Resolutions of the Court of Appeals in CA-G.R. SP No. 56586, dated 14 October 1998 AND 25 August 1999, are SET ASIDE. The case is hereby REMANDED to the Court of Appeals for proper disposition thereof.

WandaVision Sound Mixer Chris Giles on the Challenges of the Emmy-Nominated Marvel Series
August 27, 2021 Ian Spelling Featured, Interviews, Sound, Television Comments Off on WandaVision Sound Mixer Chris Giles on the Challenges of the Emmy-Nominated Marvel Series
Paul Bettany (L) and Elisabeth Olsen in WandaVision
Chris Giles thought he was hearing things. The veteran film and television Production Mixer could hardly believe that WandaVision snagged a whopping 23 Emmy Award nominations. Among those nominations was one for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Limited or Anthology or Movie, which went to Giles, Re-Recording Mixer Danielle Dupre, ADR Mixer Doc Kane, and Scoring Mixer Casey Stone, for the show's powerful finale.
Giles has steadily moved up the Hollywood ladder, working on bigger and higher-profile projects, and counts among his credits Central Intelligence, Moonlight, The Fate of the Furious, Stranger Things, Annabelle Comes Home, and The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
Currently at work on the Disney+ series Ms. Marvel, Giles spoke to Below the Line last week about his work on WandaVision, advances in sound recording over the course of his decade on the job, and Ms. Marvel.
Chris Giles
Below the Line: Congrats on the Emmy nomination. What does it mean to you to be nominated?
Chris Giles: It was a bit unreal, because – and this will sound weird — I never aspired to obtain an award. That was never really a drive, even in my side pursuits outside of music and film and television. I do a lot of very competitive things; One of those things is like grassroots motorsports. I take cars out onto little tracks and race around. People always ask, "Are you interested in knowing your time trials?" I'm competitive with myself. My dream isn't to stand up on that podium and say, "Look at me. Look, I did it!" I've changed a bit of my philosophies in life. Now that I'm realizing that filmmaking is truly a team sport, I'm okay with saying, "Me and team, in the collaborative effort, we helped create XYZ thing."
BTL: You're sharing this nomination with Danielle, Doc and Casey, and that joint nomination is one of many the show has received…
Giles: It's quite amazing. The great thing about so many people being named is a lot of people won't be forgotten or brushed aside, or their contribution won't go unrecognized. But in each name, there's a supporting team, or they happen to be a member of that larger team. There's a whole swath of people involved [with the people who earned nominations].
BTL: For anyone out there who may not know what exactly a sound mixer does, please take us through your responsibilities…
Giles: Essentially, you're responsible for the capturing and preservation of the performance as it relates to audio in the production phase. And you have responsibilities in the pre-production phase, such as planning and logistics and trying to figure out wardrobe and cast counts and how many moving pieces they have here and there, and what equipment you need and what people you need to help you. There's a huge portion there that's always glossed over. A lot of times, modern productions have adopted the philosophy that sound doesn't even need to be in pre-production. I think that's kind of a bad thing because, as I walk through the responsibilities, simply, if you don't capture what's there whenever your actors are performing just so perfectly for lens or for angle and action and everything else, if you then have to replace it — and this is no hit against people who specialize in recreating those dialogue or sound efforts later — if you don't at least capture them to get a reference that is true to who they are as an actor, you have to ask yourself, "If their performance isn't important, why are you hiring a sound team to begin with? Why don't you just replace everything later?"
But my responsibility is making sure the actor can go out there, not have to think about anything in my universe, do what they do best, and that the director or directors can continue to direct. The producers can go ahead and say, "We're meeting our time schedules," because we don't have to delay for additional times where we just couldn't get any form of clean audio or usable audio. They found, a lot of times, though, we've moved more and more synthetic with a lot of things, such as our visual effects, processing, which adds amazing layers to content, one of the things that's missed out on is if there is a full replacement of dialogue on set, it feels inauthentic. There's something psychological going on. Bits and pieces, our minds are okay with it. But if it's huge swaths of performance, there's something just not there. There's something our minds pick up on that's psychological. So, I'm there to preserve the performance. That's essentially it. What I feel my specialty, and my team's specialty is doing it… not invisibly, but as part of a collaborative, knowing when to show up and be visible and when not to, because there's a time and place. I think anybody that actually is in the business and has gotten to see a variety of sound people on set, you'll notice there's different personas. There's the stereotypical, curmudgeon-y type, where they're complaining about every airplane, every this, that and the other thing. Well, they actually may be correct. It's how they handle it. That may be incorrect. I go on to every job and I apologize. I go on to every job as if I was writing the check. I literally, every day, sit down and think, "If I'm writing the check, did I bring the right people here? Did I bring the right equipment here? Are we doing the best efforts with everything here?" Because it's not the whole time-is-money thing as much as there's a cost involved, and if you're adding additional pressures that you maybe need to learn how to back off on and when to speak up, you may not be spending financial capital, but you're spending psychological, emotional or creative capital.
BTL: Who brought you on for WandaVision?
Giles: I was very, very fortunate. I was on the current Conjuring film. It's a relationship business. A lot of people that were on the most-recent Avengers film, and who went as far back as Iron Man and things of that nature, they started asking me, "Hey, we like working with you. What are you doing next? I know X, Y, Z projects coming up. Why don't you apply?" I said, "Okay." I was on Conjuring, which is a household name, especially if you're into the horror genre. So that was already a way-up-here moment in my head and heart. Thinking Marvel? This sounds bad, especially if you were intimately involved with Conjuring, but Marvel is like so far out here. I grew up wanting to be Han Solo. Sorry, I didn't want to be Luke Skywalker. I wanted to be Han Solo. Then, seeing Deckard in Blade Runner… That universe, that science-fiction type universe captured my imagination to want to create things.
That's what Marvel represents right now. It certainly does in my mind. While I was a fan of comics and graphic novels, I didn't have massive, standout things. I was just generally intrigued with it, to the point where I've been continually trying to publish my own. So, I ended up speaking to them over at Marvel. Here's their collection of people that they were talking to, and I was somewhere down here. It was a very fortunate experience. I spoke to [Production Manager] Jason Tamez. He was the one who hired me. Jason basically gave me a shot, because I didn't have the huge, huge tentpole films, except for Conjuring 3. I did have Moonlight, but that's a whole different type of film when you're talking these massive projects. So, he gave me an opportunity. I recall him mentioning that he investigated me, which was his due diligence. He said, "Nobody had anything negative to say about you." I was like, "Well, that's not necessarily hard. They may just not know who I am, or forgot me." He said, "No, because then they went on to trying to sell you." I was like, "Wow." That spoke to me. That's a cool achievement that you don't really think about in the day-to-day. So, I was basically sold by a bunch of people. Some of them were even competitors that wanted to do these projects. And because they're good people, they helped promote me.
BTL: What were some of the specific challenges for you and your team on WandaVision?
Giles: I encourage everybody to watch Assembled, which is the behind-the-scenes [show], and they're taking all the Marvel streaming things and fleshing stuff out. Almost the first half of the one I re-watched the other night went into the most technically complex thing that I have encountered. It doesn't have a ton of influence on the episode that was nominated, because it was the finale that was nominated, but there was a section of it, the building of the story that was filmed in front of a live studio audience. Now, that sounds not that abnormal, [if] you think of things like Malcolm in the Middle, or all the way back to The Honeymooners era. There are still current sitcoms done in front of a live studio audience. But there are facilities, and techniques in staffing, that are unique to that for camera, lighting and for sound, that are not present on a modern film set. Apparently, it was a conversation in pre-pre-production, well before I was even talked to, that they may try to do a section of this live. That was shut down by the time I came into the picture. Then, quite literally one and a half to two weeks ahead of time I learned that, "Hey, by the way, we are definitely doing this in front of a live studio audience." I said, "Where was that in pre-production?" That wasn't the fault of anyone. That was just as they fleshed it out, and they started seeing some of the stuff they were putting together, they wanted a certain energy. And that was the best way to capture that energy, because what is it about? It's about story and performance, right? To give that story and performance of an authentic era, they needed to go ahead and present our actors and technicians with some of those challenges to try to authentically capture it. I think that was the whole thinking behind it.
So, we had to plan and process how to capture all this stuff live in front of a live studio audience that included all of the Marvel and Disney higher-ups, every one of their friends and investors and, you know, just good acquaintances and such. How do we do what we do while staying out of the way, because there's very limited cuts? Now, we did go back to, "Oh, we needed inserts on the hands." And we needed a closer interaction between these two or three people here. We did capture some of that stuff, and it is pieced into the final product. But a huge, massive part of the pressure of the project was during that performance, staying completely out of the way of the people and making sure the audience actually got to enjoy and participate. It was an exhilarating experience. That was literally the first time I got to briefly meet, because he was insanely busy, Kevin Feige. When you're sitting there as a sound mixer, you're mixing all the tracks, trying to reproduce that so post-production has something to work with. Whenever they're watching the dailies, shot by shot, they have an audio mix to listen to and reference. Now, it has to be of a standard that a live audience with P.A. speakers… They're listening to everything you're doing. So, every mistake that you make is amplified, and then some. As a perfectionist, and I think most creatives are perfectionist in their own right, that was anxiety, but it was also an amazing rush, I guess you'd say. But that was probably our largest challenge. The other challenge was the weather was not a friend of ours. We had some sets that we re-created. It was supposed to be very militaristic. The sets were essentially based on military shipping containers, and the skin of the roofs, a lot of them weren't true roofs. They were just effectively hardened tents. So, that amplified everything you didn't want. I'm certain that Doc Kane, our ADR mixer, earned his Emmy nomination on those scenes. But we did everything we could. That was certainly a massive, massive challenge, going inside and outside, raining, pouring. It wasn't all fun that year.
BTL: You've been in the business professionally for about 10 years. How would you say recording technology has evolved since you started?
Giles: It's evolved quite a bit. Effectively, the sound universe is outrageously reliant on wireless. We always had wireless, like bodypacks. The person comes over, puts a lavalier on you, tucks the pack somewhere on the body. Since I've been in the industry, there's always been that. When I was doing front of house or music performance, there was always that available for people. But we relied more heavily on hardwired elements, meaning a physical cable running out to a microphone somewhere out there on the stage, be it for a music performance or for an actor. That's now moved to the side. Now, we end up becoming wireless managers as well. There's a lot of math involved, and a lot of unsung hours and stresses spent just mapping that out, and then evolving that on the day. You have this blueprint of what you're going to go in with and then you show up on the day, you don't realize that now there's another production only so many yards away and they did the same thing, and now you're overlapping.
So, in that sense, the technology has changed dramatically. The job has become vastly more technical. Where before it was more mechanical-technical… That's not the right word, but there was definitely a precision required prior, but the types of precision and engineering thinking you have to have now are evolving more and more technically, things that a lot of people go to school for outside of this industry, when it relates to IT and management and electronics and engineering. So that's evolved. The capabilities of our machinery have improved dramatically and the ergonomics have improved a bit. With certain products, it's certainly evolved. Other products, not so much. But the ability for me to be more portable has increased dramatically. That speaks more towards my passion of being a collaborator, because then I don't present the challenge to where the director gets this great idea, and "We have to change this shot right now. It now needs to be a moving shot, and we have to do it in a car," or whatever the case is. The director doesn't have to sit back and say, "Oh, crap, we can't do that, because Chris isn't portable," or, "Chris can only do a small amount of channels in this certain package, in this certain footprint." Now, I'm able to be in that situation where, if the director imagines it, or the writer imagines it, there is a practical application that I have available.
BTL: You're currently at work on Ms. Marvel. How is that going?
Giles: WandVision was, for lack of better phraseology, a female-centric project. It's about Wanda. I don't want to add a spoiler if someone's not seen it, but it's about her grieving process and her place in the universe, or the MCU universe. It's about going through that. There's an amazing tagline that's delivered, and I don't want to say it, but it's delivered by Vision. It just rips the heart out of you. To me, it was so impactful. Circling back to Ms. Marvel, some of those elements that I appreciated getting the opportunity to do in WandaVision, like pushing the idea of a female lead out there, where it normalizes cheering for the lady, not just the big, hulking guy. It normalized that, and now Ms. Marvel, if you followed the comic series, I think you'll be impressed. I think you'll learn to appreciate things that are not commonly on Western media screens.

New York Bar Association tells Bill Barr to immediately recuse himself from the Ukraine scandal
The New York Bar Association has asked Attorney General William Barr to immediately recuse himself from any matters pertaining to President Donald Trump's Ukraine scandal, believing that any further involvement would be a conflict of interest on the part of the head of the Justice Department.
In a statement Wednesday, the association explained: "Despite this commitment to the role of the attorney general, Mr. Barr's actions in office have failed in precisely the role that he described with eloquence when nominated. That failure has jeopardized the confidence that the public can reasonably have in the DOJ as the place 'where the rule of law, not politics, holds sway.'"
The statement goes on to assert, "Our concern has been brought to a head by Mr. Barr's failure to recuse himself from the DOJ's review — itself of uncertain propriety — of the ongoing 'whistleblower' complaint with respect to the president's efforts during his July 25, 2019 telephone call to request the Republic of Ukraine to investigate Mr. Trump's allegations of Ukrainian interference in the 2016 U.S. elections and former Vice President Biden and his son."
Barr has often been criticized for conducting himself like a Trump loyalist, and the New York Bar Association makes the same complaint — asserting that Barr's "actions during his brief tenure in office have demonstrated to us that, contrary to the responsibilities of his office, he appears to view his primary obligation as loyalty to the president individually rather than to the nation. In serving the president, he has been willing to take or countenance actions that are contrary to the professional standards of the DOJ, his oath of office and his own obligations as an attorney."

Hypocrisy is the practice of engaging in the same behavior or activity for which one criticizes another or the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform. In moral psychology, it is the failure to follow one's own expressed moral rules and principles.[1] According to British political philosopher David Runciman, "Other kinds of hypocritical deception include claims to knowledge that one lacks, claims to a consistency that one cannot sustain, claims to a loyalty that one does not possess, claims to an identity that one does not hold".[2] American political journalist Michael Gerson says that political hypocrisy is "the conscious use of a mask to fool the public and gain political benefit".[3]
Hypocrisy has been a subject of folk wisdom and wisdom literature from the beginnings of human history. Increasingly, since the 1980s, it has also become central to studies in behavioral economics, cognitive science, cultural psychology, decision making, ethics, evolutionary psychology, moral psychology, political sociology, positive psychology, social psychology, and sociological social psychology.
The word hypocrisy comes from the Greek ὑπόκρισις (hypokrisis), which means "jealous", "play-acting", "acting out", "coward" or "dissembling".[4] The word hypocrite is from the Greek word ὑποκριτής (hypokritēs), the agentive noun associated with ὑποκρίνομαι (hypokrinomai κρίση, "judgment" »κριτική (kritikē), "critics") presumably because the performance of a dramatic text by an actor was to involve a degree of interpretation, or assessment.
Alternatively, the word is an amalgam of the Greek prefix hypo-, meaning "under", and the verb krinein, meaning "to sift or decide". Thus the original meaning implied a deficiency in the ability to sift or decide. This deficiency, as it pertains to one's own beliefs and feelings, informs the word's contemporary meaning.[5]
Whereas hypokrisis applied to any sort of public performance (including the art of rhetoric), hypokrites was a technical term for a stage actor and was not considered an appropriate role for a public figure. In Athens during the 4th century BC, for example, the great orator Demosthenes ridiculed his rival Aeschines, who had been a successful actor before taking up politics, as a hypocrites whose skill at impersonating characters on stage made him an untrustworthy politician. This negative view of the hypokrites, perhaps combined with the Roman disdain for actors, later shaded into the originally neutral hypokrisis. It is this later sense of hypokrisis as "play-acting", i.e., the assumption of a counterfeit persona, that gives the modern word hypocrisy its negative connotation.
Hypocrisy became a major topic in English political history in the early 18th century. The Toleration Act of 1689 allowed for certain rights, but it left Protestant nonconformists (such as Congregationalists and Baptists) deprived of important rights, including that of office-holding. Nonconformists who wanted office ostentatiously took the Anglican sacrament once a year in order to avoid the restrictions. High Church Anglicans were outraged and outlawed what they called "occasional conformity" in 1711 with the Occasional Conformity Act 1711.[6] In the political controversies using sermons, speeches, and pamphlet wars, both high churchmen and Nonconformists attacked their opponents as insincere and hypocritical, as well as dangerously zealous, in contrast to their own moderation.
In his famous book Fable of the Bees (1714) English author Bernard Mandeville ( 1670–1733) explored the nature of hypocrisy in contemporary European society. On the one hand Mandeville was a 'moralist' heir to the French Augustinianism of the previous century, viewing sociability as a mere mask for vanity and pride. On the other he was a 'materialist' who helped found modern economics. He tried to demonstrate the universality of human appetites for corporeal pleasures. He argued that the efforts of self-seeking entrepreneurs are the basis of emerging commercial and industrial society, a line of thought that influenced Adam Smith (1723–1790) and 19th century utilitarianism. The tension between these two approaches modes ambivalences and contradictions—concerning the relative power of norms and interests, the relationship between motives and behaviours, and the historical variability of human cultures.[7] In the Enlightenment of the 18th century, discussions of hypocrisy were common in the works of Voltaire, Rousseau, and Montaigne.[8]
In the 1750 to 1850 era, Whig aristocrats in England boasted of their special benevolence for the common people. They claimed to be guiding and counseling reform initiatives to prevent the outbreaks of popular discontent that caused instability and revolution across Europe. However Tory and radical critics accused the Whigs of hypocrisy—alleging they were deliberately using the slogans of reform and democracy to boost themselves into power while preserving their precious aristocratic exclusiveness.
Meanwhile, a steady stream of observers from the Continent commented on the English political culture. Liberal and radical observers noted the servility of the English lower classes, the obsession everyone had with rank and title, the extravagance of the aristocracy, a supposed anti-intellectualism, and a pervasive hypocrisy that extended into such areas as social reform.
In the propaganda battles of World War II, Japan attacked American hypocrisy by emphasizing the injustice of the incarceration camps for Japanese in the United States. Radio Tokyo emphasized that the camps revealed the hypocritical American claim to democratic ideals and fair play. The propaganda quoted American founding fathers, neutral sources, and dissenting opinions from major American newspapers. Radio Tokyo utilized fictitious sources as well. It proclaimed the moral superiority of Japan while threatening to mistreat American POWs in retaliation.[9]
American historian Martin Jay in The Virtues of Mendacity: On Lying in Politics (2012) explores how writers over the centuries have treated hypocrisy, deception, flattery, lying and cheating, slander, false pretenses, living on borrowed glory, masquerading, conventions of concealment, playacting before others and the arts of dissimulation. He assumes that politics is worthwhile, but since it is unavoidably linked to lying and hypocrisy, Jay concludes that lying must not be all that bad.[10][11]
Moral and religious codes
Many belief systems condemn hypocrisy.[12]
In Islam, Quranic Chapter 63 is often titled "The Hypocrites" Hypocrisy is viewed as a serious sickness.[13] The Qur'an rails against those who claim to be believers and peacemakers, thinking they are fooling God and others, but only fool themselves.[14]
In some translations of the Book of Job, the Hebrew word chaneph is rendered as "hypocrite", though it usually means "godless" or "profane". In the Christian Bible, Jesus condemns the scribes and Pharisees as hypocrites in the passage known as the Woes of the Pharisees.[15][16] He also denounces hypocrites in more general terms in Matthew 7:5.
In the 16th century, John Calvin was critical of Nicodemites.
In the Buddhist text Dhammapada, Gautama Buddha condemns a man who takes the appearance of an ascetic but is full of passions within.[17]
Hypocrisy has long been of interest to psychologists.
In Switzerland Carl Jung (1875–1961) attributed hypocrisy to those who are not aware of the dark or shadow-side of their nature. Jung wrote:
Every individual needs revolution, inner division, overthrow of the existing order, and renewal, but not by forcing them upon his neighbors under the hypocritical cloak of Christian love or the sense of social responsibility or any of the other beautiful euphemisms for unconscious urges to personal power.[18]
Jung went on:[19]
It is under all circumstances an advantage to be in full possession of one's personality, otherwise the repressed elements will only crop up as a hindrance elsewhere, not just at some unimportant point, but at the very spot where we are most sensitive. If people can be educated to see the shadow-side of their nature clearly, it may be hoped that they will also learn to understand and love their fellow men better. A little less hypocrisy and a little more self-knowledge can only have good results in respect for our neighbor; for we are all too prone to transfer to our fellows the injustice and violence we inflict upon our own natures.
In New Paths in Psychology Jung pointedly referred to the "hypocritical pretenses of man". "Dream-analysis above all else mercilessly uncovers the lying morality and hypocritical pretences of man, showing him, for once, the other side of his character in the most vivid light".[20] Jung omitted this characterization from his later essay On the Psychology of the Unconscious, which developed out of the former.
Preference for the effortless
Niccolò Machiavelli noted that "the mass of mankind accept what seems as what is; nay, are often touched more nearly by appearances than by realities".[21] Natural selection works by the principle of survival of the fittest, and several researchers have shown that humans evolved to play the game of life in a Machiavellian way.[22][page needed] The best way to cultivate a reputation for fairness is to really be fair. But since it is much harder to be fair than to seem fair, and since laziness is built deep into human nature,[23] humans more often choose appearance over reality.[24]
"So convenient a thing is it to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for everything one has a mind to do."[25] Benjamin Franklin's observation has been confirmed by recent studies in self-deception.[26] In everyday reasoning, humans do little to get real evidence when taking positions or making decisions, and do even less to get evidence for opposing positions. Instead, they tend to fabricate "pseudo-evidence" – often after the decision had already been made ("post hoc fabrication").[27][page needed]
Humans take a position, look for evidence that supports it, then, if they find some evidence – enough so that the position "makes sense" – they stop thinking altogether (the "makes-sense stopping rule").[28] And, when pressed to produce real evidence, they tend to seek and interpret "evidence" that confirms what they already believe (the "confirmation bias").[29]
Moreover, humans tend to think highly of themselves, highlighting strengths and achievements, and overlooking weakness and failures (the "self-serving bias"). When asked to rate themselves on virtues, skills, or other desirable traits (including ethics, intelligence, driving ability, and sexual skills), a large majority say they are above average.[30] Power and privilege magnify the distortion: 94% of college professors think that they do above average work.[31] This effect is weaker in Asian countries and in other cultures which value the group more highly than the self.[32]
Evolutionary psychologist Robert Kurzban argues that one's moral modules lead one to condemn infidelity while mating modules induce one to commit it.[33][page needed]
Self-ignorance
Robert Wright wrote that "Human beings are a species splendid in their array of moral equipment, tragic in their propensity to misuse it, and pathetic in their constitutional ignorance of the misuse."[34] Humans are very good at challenging the beliefs of other people, but when it comes to their own beliefs, they tend to protect them, not challenge them.[35] A consistent finding of psychological research is that humans are fairly accurate in their perceptions of others, but generally inaccurate in their perceptions of themselves.[36] Humans tend to judge others by their behavior, but think they have special information about themselves – that they know what they are "really like" inside – and thus effortlessly find ways to explain away selfish acts, and maintain the illusion that they are better than others.[37]
Social psychologists have generally viewed hypocrisy as an instantiation of attitudinal and/or behavioral inconsistency.[38] Accordingly, many social psychologists have focused on the role of dissonance in explaining individuals' aversion to hypocritical thinking and behavior.[39] Individuals are motivated to avoid hypocritical stances in order to forestall the negative drive state of dissonance. For example, a dissonance-based study on the use of condoms among young adults showed that induced hypocrisy can lead to increased purchase and use of condoms.[40]
Alternatively, some social psychologists have suggested that individuals view hypocrisy negatively because it suggests that hypocrites are providing a false signal regarding their moral goodness.[41]
Hypocrisy has been an intermittent topic of interest to philosophers since at least Machiavelli. Philosophical issues raised by hypocrisy can be broadly divided into two kinds: metaphysical/conceptual and ethical. Most philosophical commentary on hypocrisy is concerned with the ethical questions it raises: is hypocrisy morally wrong or bad? If it is, is there anything distinctly objectionable about it, or can it be easily subsumed under a broader category of morally objectionable conduct–for example, deceit? Is hypocrisy necessary or desirable for the sake of certain valuable activities–most notably, politics? [42]
Recently, hypocrisy has emerged as a key focus in philosophical discussions of the ethics of blame. It seems that even if a person has violated some moral norm and is genuinely blameworthy for doing so, it is open to them to challenge the blame leveled at them on the grounds that it is hypocritical; a typical expression of this idea is the phrase, "You have no right to blame me!" Accordingly, some philosophers argue that in order to have the standing or entitlement to blame others, one's blame must not be hypocritical. Defenses of this position have usually focused on the connection between hypocrisy and fairness: the basic idea is that the hypocritical blamer in some way fails to treat the target of her blame as a moral equal.[43] Other proposed explanations include the idea that standing in a moral community requires a reciprocal willingness to accept blame, a willingness that hypocrites lack.[44] Patrick Todd argues that all and only those who are committed to the relevant norms possess the standing to blame, and hypocrites lack commitment in the relevant sense.[45] Other philosophers reject the "No-hypocrisy" condition on standing altogether.[46] Typically, these philosophers do not deny that sometimes the wrongness of hypocrisy can outweigh a would-be blamer's entitlement to blame others; but they will insist that this is not invariably the case, and some hypocrites do have standing to blame.[47] R.A. Duff suggests that underlying the disagreement between these two views is a disagreement about the size and scope of moral community, while Kyle Fritz and Daniel Miller suggest that the rejection of the "No-hypocrisy" condition reflects a failure to distinguish between the right to blame and the value of blaming.
The definition of hypocrisy itself is the fundamental question of the relatively new philosophical discussions on hypocrisy. Early answers tended to focus on the deceptive or inconsistent qualities of hypocrisy. For Eva Kittay, for example, the fundamental attribute of hypocrites is "self-referential deception,"[48] and for Gilbert Ryle, to be hypocritical is to "try to appear activated by a motive other than one's real motive."[49] On Dan Turner's view, by contrast, the fundamental feature is "conflict or disparity" between a person's attitudes, where this may or may not involve deception.[50] Bela Szabados and Daniel Statman argue that self-deception is the characteristic attribute of "garden variety of hypocrisies."[51][52] Roger Crisp and Christopher Cowten identify four types of hypocrisy: pretense of moral goodness, moral criticism of others by those possessing faults of their own, failure to satisfy self-acknowledged moral requirements, and a complacent, unreflective commitment to virtues feigned or preached. What unifies these types is a "metavice," a lack of "moral seriousness."[53] More recently, some philosophers–notably, Benjamin Rossi and Fritz and Miller–have defined hypocrisy in terms of dispositions to blame others or to avow commitment to certain norms together with an unwillingness to accept blame from others or to blame themselves.[54][55] Rossi's "Commitment Account of Hypocrisy" addresses paradigmatic cases of hypocrisy that Fritz and Miller's "Differential Blaming Disposition Account" does not include.
Although there are many negatives to hypocrisy, there can be benefits from it as well.[56] There are also benefits from ignoring it. Political theorist Judith N. Shklar argues, in "Let Us Not Be Hypocritical," we are all too eager to construe even minor deviations from our opponents' professed beliefs as hypocrisy, rather than understandable imperfections and weaknesses to which everyone is prone.[57][58]
Political journalist Michael Gerson notes that, "There is often hypocritical deception involved in political and diplomatic negotiations, which generally start with principled, nonnegotiable demands that are negotiated away in the process of finding a compromise." Gerson concludes:[3]
hypocrisy is unavoidable and necessary. If people were required, at all times, to live up to ideals of honesty, loyalty and compassion in order for those ideals to exist, there would be no ideals. Being a moral person is a struggle in which everyone repeatedly fails, becoming a hypocrite in each of those moments. A just and peaceful society depends on hypocrites who ultimately refused to abandon the ideals they betray.

Hexo outlines cost cutting plan

Hexo Corporation is planning to cut costs to help the business finance its latest acquisition.
The company stated today (Wednesday) in a release it plans to reduce its selling, general and administrative expenses by 30% by the end of its fiscal 2023.
The cuts are expected to generate as much as $175 million in new cash flow as the company attempts to meet terms of a debt financing deal used to help finance their acquisition of Redecan Pharm.
According to BNN Bloomberg, Hexo also said they identified approximately $30 million in additional savings by optimizing assets.
The company will also be "right-sizing the organization" and sold a 25% interest in the Belleville production facility to Olegna Holdings Inc. for $10.1 million.
Hexo's CEO and President Scott Cooper stated in a release "It is a strategic imperative for Hexo to strengthen its capital position and restructure the company's operations to ensure a path to achieving positive cash flow from operations within the next three quarters."
Last month, Hexo announced a strategic plan to reduce costs, streamline its business and improve growth amid a string of losses, mounting debt and misaligned supply and demand dynamics.

I agree, but maybe the strategy is now to procure UHD content for channel 999. I find it curious that the programmes currently showing on that channel are not available also on demand, but maybe that will change in the New Year.
That's probably because most of On Demand is still currently on the system that doesn't support UHD nor has the capacity for it.
Maybe the Virgin Exclusives will become Virgin UHD Exclusives on demand?
Perhaps in the future but certainly not currently for the reasons that have just been explained by Ben..
Yes, understood, but Virgin's UHD channel is also available to viewers who can get only HD. So is there a technical reason why the downscaled version of Virgin's UHD channel cannot be shown on demand?
...because it's broadcast in UHD and downscaled in the V6 for customers who don't have a 4K TV?
Yes, that's what I mean. If some viewers are watching the channel in HD rather than UHD, is it not possible to provide channell 999's content in HD on demand until the system is upgraded?
OB it's the V6 that is downscaling it, it's not a separate stream, it is coming into every Full House home as UHD, the V6 then goes "I'm not connected to a 4K TV, I'll only show a quarter of the pixels." The OD infrastructure at the back end isn't configured in its entirety to work with UHD yet, neither is there enough of it to fit it in, but it is being worked on, hence the Sky Cinema OD comment.
Ok, thank you for the explanation, cheekyangus.
The Smithsonian Channel has been launched on channel 295. You need to access it by entering the channel numbers at the moment as it is not yet listed on the EPG.
Just checked, and it's on the EPG here on a V6.
l can confirm that OB and l can also confirm that it is listed on the EPG.
TruTV is now True Crime on 212.
In Scotland STV HD has now moved to Channel 103.
On February 13th Virgin Media did move Star Bharat from Virgin Channel 804 to Virgin Channel 802.
Will I did when "Channel move" appeared on Channel 804.


On 3rd-4th of July the whole group of the Grace consortium partners (IPB, Loccioni, Siemens, Sintef, UNIVPM and Whirlpool) met in Loccioni Headquarters for the meeting that marks the beginning of the third and last year of the Grace project.
The meeting has been the occasion to draw the state of art of the project which turned out to be in line with the planning.
Moreover it has been the starting point of the demonstration phase, where most of the results achieved will be implemented and validated, according to the WP5.
