7 of Our Favorite Movies From 2020
What were your favorite movies from 2020? Often when we look back on our favourite movies, we usually remember seeing them in the theatre. For the most part, we won't do that with the films of 2020 for obvious reasons. Still, this most unusual of years brought us several memorable films, even if we had to rely on streaming services to watch them. This was the year that made the investment in a home theatre and comfortable home theatre seating seem more worthwhile than ever before.
Rather than a list of the best films of the year, we put together a list of some of our favourite films. These are films that were enjoyable even if not necessarily high art. After all, we all needed a little entertainment to keep us going over the past several months. In no particular order:
This family drama manages to be sweet without becoming saccharine. It was thus a welcome viewing in a year that saw too much negativity. A semi-autobiographical tale, it follows a Korean-American family as they move from California to rural Arkansas during the 1980's so that father, Jacob (Steven Yeun) can pursue his dream of starting a small farm. His wife does not share his passion and their children watch as the strain upon their marriage grows. Named for a Korean herb that is hardy enough to grow wherever it's planted, the film is about hope, family, and the belief that love is enough to save us.
Bad Education
This festival film appeared on HBO with little fanfare near the beginning of the pandemic, which is a pity, as it is deserving of more attention than it received. Frank (Hugh Jackman) is a school superintendent who is both charming and well-loved. When Rachel (Geraldine Viswanathan), a reporter on the school newspaper, approaches him for some quotes regarding a skywalk that the school plans to build, Frank encourages her to approach the story like a top journalist would, resulting in her digging deeper and uncovering some irregularities in the school's finances. What follows is a fascinating character study and moral thriller that slowly reveals details about Fred and makes us strangely root for those we know are in the wrong.
Adapted from a short story by H.P. Lovecraft and starring Nicholas Cage, Color Out of Space is a mix of horror and science-fiction with a good dollop of psychedelia. Cage stars as Nathan, a farmer with a desire to raise alpacas. He and his family find their lives changed when the sky turns a purplish colour and a mysterious meteor crashes in their yard. Strange events follow, but what is the cause? Has the meteor brought something evil to earth?
Let Them All Talk
Famous author Alice Hughes (Meryl Streep) reunites with two old friends (Candace Bergen and Dianne Wiest) to rebuild their relationships and settle ancient feuds on a cruise. Seeing the three women starring together is a treat on its own, but the film (actually shot over 2 weeks on the Queen Mary 2) is surprisingly deep as it examines the lives of these women, often through the eyes of Hughes' nephew (Lucas Hedges). With many of the scenes reportedly heavily improvised, it is a film filled with excellent performances and one that may just move you to book a cruise once life returns to normal.
David Byrne's American Utopia
What do you get when you mix the considerable talents of Spike Lee and David Byrne (former front man of the band Talking Heads)? You get one of the greatest concert movies ever made. Quite an achievement for Byrne who, along with Talking Heads was in one of the other greatest concert films, Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense. This mix of new and old songs, Byrne uses music to examine connections between people and the role of individuals in community. More than just a recording of a musical performance, the film puts you onstage with an ensemble of incredibly talented singers, dancers, and musicians. Byrne and Lee's individual gifts come together to create what can easily be considered a work of art.
Another entry from Spike Lee, Da 5 Bloods is a look at the trauma from the Vietnam war in the lives of black veterans. Delroy Lindo leads the cast as Paul, who leads his fellow veterans back to Vietnam to recover the remains of their squad leader Norman (the late Chadwick Boseman). While there, they also intend to seek out the gold that they buried in the jungle all those years ago. Jumping from present to past, from humorous to emotional, the movie focuses on betrayal, empathy, forgiveness, and whether America was ever great to begin with.
Never Rarely Sometimes Always
Taking its title from potential answers to questions being asked of a pregnant teenager at Planned Parenthood, Never Rarely Sometimes Always is the story of a teenage girl travelling from her hometown in Pennsylvania to New York to terminate her pregnancy without her parents finding out. The scene in which the questionnaire is answered is a powerful scene, with young Autumn (Sidney Flanigan) seeks the right option to respond. The closeup of the young woman as a dozen emotions cross her face reveals its own story, one that will likely stay with you after the movie draws to a close.
While this year may have been missing many of the usual summer blockbusters and tentpole movies, that doesn't mean that the year was a total write-off. These are some of our favorite movies from 2020 – we are sure you have yours too. Many excellent movies were released, even if they mostly ended up on streaming services or online rental – perfect to watch in your own home theatre chairs.
Smaller in scale than the bigger-budget films that have dominated theatres in recent years, these movies still offer up engaging stories and wonderful performances. Although 2020 may be looked back on as the year that wasn't when it comes to movies, there was still plenty of cinematic entertainment to be had if you were willing to take a chance on something new.

Morrissey Says Brexit Was "Magnificent," Implies He Should Get Into Rock Hall Before PJ Harvey
DOVER, DE – JUNE 19: Musician Morrissey performs onstage during day 2 of the Firefly Music Festival on June 19, 2015 in Dover, Delaware. (Photo by Ilya S. Savenok/Getty Images for Firefly)
News October 22, 2016 10:30 AM By Peter Helman
Whenever Morrissey opens his mouth to do anything besides sing (or eat vegan hot dogs or whatever), it's usually a pretty bad look for him. Case in point: When asked about the current political climate in a recent interview with FasterLouder, he went off on this delightful little rant and called Brexit "magnificent":
The British political class has never quite been so hopeless, but the same can be said for the USA. What has happened is that news media can no longer attach any nobility to old-style politics because although politicians do not and cannot change, the people the world over have changed. What could be more grotesquely stupid than the Clinton-Trump coverage? As for Brexit, the result was magnificent, but it is not accepted by the BBC or Sky News because they object to a public that cannot be hypnotised by BBC or Sky nonsense. These news teams are exactly the same as Fox and CNN in that they all depend on public stupidity in order to create their own myth of reality. Watch them at your peril!
And when asked how he feels about the Smiths being such a huge part of his legacy despite being a relatively brief part of his life, he had this to say:
I've taken the position of serious analyst on this issue for quite some years and I now think that The Smiths are listed as, for example, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nominees, because people generally think that the Smiths also covers Morrissey — which it doesn't. Consequently we have PJ Harvey as a Hall Of Fame nominee yet it can't be argued that she has ever meant more than Morrissey in the USA, and needless to say I have never been a nominee.
The interview must've been conducted before this year's Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame nominations came out, because the Smiths weren't nominated this year, and neither was PJ Harvey. Maybe he read some article about bands who would likely be nominated, or maybe he's just talking out his ass, because when has a little thing like objective reality ever stopped Morrissey before?

There has never been a better time to invest in the Bay Islands. Utila is one of the most exciting ownership opportunities in the entire Caribbean if not the world.
Over 80 million Americans have now reached retirement age and are aggressively looking for retirement opportunities. Utila is the last affordable Island in the Caribbean.
Comparable property to Coconut Cove Marina and Beach on Turks & Caicos, the Bahamas, Barbados, Cayman… sell for up to ten times the price.
As early as the beginning of the sixteenth century, two of the then dominant world empires sought to control this island paradise. The first people to populate the islands were the Paya Indians, a simple people who kept to themselves.
However, in 1502, Christopher Columbus enslaved the native habitants and claimed the Bay Islands for the Spanish Empire naming Utila –English pirates began invading the islands in search of Spanish treasure and many stayed making Utila home. England and Spain struggled back and forth for control of the islands. Even the Dutch and French tried forays into trying to control this exquisite group of islands. The English-Spanish struggles continued until England agreed to a treaty granting the islands to the Spaniards. In 1814 Spain and England adjusted their peace treaty to leave the Islands under the jurisdiction of Honduras. It was not until April 1861, that a decree was finally issued that proclaimed the Bay Islands to be part of the Republic of Honduras. In 1872 the Bay Islands (Nicknamed "The Garden of the West Indies") became politically and geographically, a Department of Honduras.
Utila is a very special place! Visitors to Utila describe the inhabitants as welcoming, friendly, hospitable and uniquely charming. Over the last 300 years, Utila has hosted a wonderful mix of visitors; fishermen, marooned Carib slaves, adventure seekers, turtle hunters, log cutters and pirates.
Although they all came initially to take advantage of the island's rich resources, many succumbed to the island's charms and stayed on to call Utila home. As a result of this, the modern day Bay Islanders have the most colorful of ancestries. From the papaya Indians, through the years spent as a British colony, to the present day, Utila provides a rich and diverse cultural experience with its unique blend of British, American and Spanish heritages making this an authentic Caribbean Island – Still a largely undiscovered and unspoiled tropical Island paradise. To this day the locals speak a sing-song English and carry names such as Morgan, Cooper and Jackson.
Today's Visitors Enjoy A Key West of Twenty Years Ago, a quaint and unspoiled Caribbean Island experience with no chain stores or fast food outlets. Utila is perfect for safely exploring the neighbourhoods and surrounding areas on bike or on foot.
People who visit the number of friendly bars, restaurants, and local stores meet visitors from all over the world. Given its proximity to the reef, it is not surprising that dive enthusiasts come from all over the world to the over 17 dive shops and resorts on Utila. Visitors also enjoy sandy beaches that host a variety of water sports activities such as sailing, kayaking, kite boarding, and snorkeling. For others, climbing Pumpkin Hill, exploring the freshwater caves, visiting the Iguana Station or taking a guided natural history hike makes for a great adventure. A day trip to the Cays with a picture-postcard island beach along with a stop at a local fishing village is a must for all visitors as well as a Whale Shark spotting trip. The breathless sunsets at one of the many dockside bars, followed by local dining at one of the unique restaurants. Music-filled open-air venues offer dance nights where the islanders gather to celebrate life. Lobster, fish and conch are truly the "catch of the day". Diners can enjoy local specialties like "bando", a delicious coconut fish soup. While local chefs work their magic with the bounty that the sea provides, there are also a number of international chefs now living and working on Utila. They too have found and now create something special. It is not surprising that visitors return to this island paradise again and again!

The Addis Agenda commits to substantially increase health financing and the recruitment, development, training and retention of the health workforce in developing countries, especially LDCs and SIDS, in line with SDG target 3.c. The WHO's World Health Statistics 2016  estimates the global health workforce to be slightly above 43 million workers, including 20.7 million nurses/midwives, 9.8 million physicians and approximately 13 million other health workers. Relative to population density, the WHO Africa Region and WHO South-East Asia Region, which bear the greatest burdens of preventable disease, have the lowest density of health workers compared to the wealthier regions of Europe and the Americas by a significant magnitude.
In May 2016, the 69th World Health Assembly endorsed the Global Strategy on Human Resources for Health: Workforce 2030 and adopted resolution (WHA69.19 ) in support of its implementation. In September 2016, the Report of the High Level Commission on Health Employment and Economic Growth was launched at the margins of the 71st UN General Assembly. The Commission's report makes ten recommendations, making the case for more and better investment in the health workforce.
The Conference of the Parties also addressed cross-cutting issues such as preventing tobacco industry interference; gender specific approaches to and the use of the human rights framework in tobacco control, achieving the non-communicable disease global target  on the reduction of tobacco use and impact assessment of the WHO FCTC. Furthermore, Parties adopted a new framework of measures to strengthen implementation of the Convention through coordination and cooperation. This includes ensuring the necessary financial resources for the implementation work, in line with Article 26 of the Convention.

You must be prepared for possible setbacks such as illnesses, accidents, etc. This is why a health and well-being policy has been put in place.
Subscribe to health insurance will help you prepare for health problems. It is a policy used to prevent difficult times. Indeed, you will receive a sum of money in reimbursement of your insurance in relation to medical expenses spent. You will have to pay a regular sum at the level of your insurance company. The latter will then be used when difficult situations arise. This will allow you to lighten your expenses. It can be a partial or total recovery. This health policy allows you to be ready at any time for possibilities of occurrence. This will also allow you to ensure your well-being. Indeed, you will face these difficult times with confidence knowing that you already have insurance that will cover expenses.
This system presents a value chain. Insurers, insureds, etc. are components of the chain. The healthcare value chain enables insurance companies to perform well in their services. Indeed, it also plays an important role in the various obligations that the insurer presents to its client. From the care sheet, to the control of invoices, this chain is used.

OmniGraffle Pro 7.8 – Create diagrams, flow charts, and more.
Orthogonal Line Routing - OmniGraffle 7.8 brings significant improvements to OmniGraffle's line routing algorithms. Any document that is opened with OmniGraffle 7.8 will automatically be updated to use the new orthogonal line routing behavior.
Diagram Layout - The new "Connected Objects" option in the Diagram Layout and Style inspector makes it easier to enable auto layout without accidentally moving content that isn't connected by lines in your diagram (like a header, footer, or logo).
Diagram Styles - Diagram Style options have moved from the Format menu to the Diagram Layout and Style inspector. You can choose between styling All Objects or Connected Objects and there is an option to continuously enforce the diagram style. Hold down the option key and the buttons only apply to the selected objects.
Auto Layout - Automatic Layout operations are now animated to make it easier to see where your content is shifting to. Auto layout has also been updated to improve performance and produce more reliable results.
Line Connections - There is a now visual distinction between lines connected to an object and lines connected to a specific magnet on an object. If a line is not connected to a specific magnet then the line's selection highlight will continue past the line ending to the center of shape and through any magnets that are influencing the line's path.
Outline Sidebar - The Outline sidebar now converts pasted lists into individual objects based on line breaks making it easier to get outline content into OmniGraffle.
Line Magnets - Circular line magnet indicators have been replaced with color coded diamonds that indicate what type of point on the line the new line will connect to. A blue diamond indicates a connection to a midpoint, a red diamond is a connection to the tail of the line, a green diamond is a connection to the head of the line, and a connection to any other point on the line will be indicated by a pink diamond.
Lines - "Remove Midpoints" (in the Edit→Objects menu) has been renamed to "Remove Midpoints and Reset Handles" and will now reset orthogonal line handles in addition to removing line midpoints.
Sidebar - The left sidebar can be made much wider to accommodate long titles and deep hierarchies.
Diagram Styles - When using diagram styles, customizations to a object's style are now preserved when moving that object to a new position in the hierarchy.
Mouseless Editing - Fixed a few cases where selection would be lost while using the outline tab of the sidebar to build a diagram. These improvements make it much easier to build your diagram from just the keyboard. Also, pressing Command-Return will now toggle label editing on and off.
Orthogonal Lines - There is now a specific icon (a crosshair) to indicate when an orthogonal line has been pinned to a path as opposed to using automatic routing.
Magnets - Magnets now appear as you are approaching a shape while drawing or moving a line to make it easier to target those magnets. Magnets also grow in size to indicate when a line is connecting directly to the magnet instead of the shape.
Scripting - Object ID Numbers are now changed less frequently, making them a more reliable tool for scripting.
Text Entry - Fixed a bug that caused auto-correct to end text editing of a label before the user was done typing.
Presentation Mode - Fixed a bug where canvases would be blank in presentation mode when presentation mode was started on a canvas other than the first canvas.
Artboard Export - Fixed a bug that caused a black background when exporting an artboard with transparency disabled.

2022 Sports Medicine Conference Taking Place May 21
May 5, 2022 | Sports Medicine | 0 |
Sports injuries can happen in an instant, but the repercussions of not having proper treatment can last a lifetime, especially in the case of young athletes. To help further educate athletic trainers with the latest knowledge on how to properly identify and treat the common injuries in young athletes, the Orthopaedic Institute for Children will host its annual Sports Medicine Conference May 21 on its downtown LA campus.
"Young athletes present unique challenges to athletic trainers due to the repetitive and high strain they put on their bodies during what is often a year-round schedule of sporting activities in Southern California," said Richard Bowen, M.D., director of the Center for Sports Medicine at OIC. "This conference brings together many of California's best-known and most widely-respected physicians in the field of sports medicine to share their insights on many of the unique pathologies found in youth athletes so these trainers can get these athletes back in the game—not just next season but for the long haul."
Dr. Bowen says that while injuries happen to even the best athletes, they can be particularly frustrating for children. "There are physical and psychological impacts of injuries on children – missing out on the fun of sports, missing their friends and companionship on the field, feeling like they are missing out or getting behind," he says. "Through our conference certified athletic trainers will be exposed to many important innovative assessment, evaluation, and rehabilitation solutions for pediatric orthopaedic sports-related conditions."
Topics and speakers for the all-day conference will include:
Ankle Injuries: Tarsal Coalitions, OCDs, Accessory Naviculars – Richard Bowen, M.D., Director of Sports Medicine at OIC and Clinical Professor Department of Orthopaedic Surgery David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
Lateral Adjuncts to ACL Reconstruction – Jennifer Beck, M.D., Director of Outreach & Research for OIC's Center for Sports Medicine and Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA
The Impact of Sleep and Nutrition on Concussion Recovery – Josh Goldman, M.D., MBA, Assistant Clinical Professor, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA Division of Sports Medicine, Departments of Family Medicine & Orthopaedics
CTE: Fact vs. Fiction – Talin Babikian, PhD. ABPP, Assistant Clinical Professor of Neuropsychology Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA and Associate Director, UCLA Steve Tisch BrainSPORT Program
Neuromuscular/Somatosensory Training Aspects of Rehab – Christine Caron, PT, DPT, PCS, Assistant Director of Sports Medicine at OIC; co-presenters Joanna de La Cruz, DPT, OCS, PCS and Isaac Aguilar, DPT from OIC's Pediatric Orthopaedic Rehabilitation Center
Mental Health in Student Athletes – Emily Miller, M.D., Assistant Team Physician, UCLA Athletics and Assistant Clinical Professor, UCLA Department of Family Medicine & Orthopaedics
Overtraining in the Year Round Athletes – Calvin Duffaut, M.D., Assistant Team Physician, UCLA Athletics; Assistant Primary Care Physician, Los Angeles Lakers and Assistant Clinical Professor, UCLA Department of Family Medicine and Orthopaedics.
Increase in Injuries Post/During Pandemic Especially Overuse Injuries – Sabrina Sawlani, D.O.. UCLA Primary Care Sports medicine Physician
The Sports Medicine Conference will be held May 21 from 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m. in the Luck Family Conference Center on the downtown campus of OIC at 403 West Adams Blvd. Certified athletic trainers can earn up to 6.5 Category A CEUs for attending. Registration is $40 per person and includes lunch. The deadline to register is May 16, and online registration can be completed at ortho-institute.org/sportsmedicineconference. For questions contact Summer Runestad at [email protected] or call 213-910-3526.

As he stepped on the grounds of wisdom, he realised this is where he will develop and improve his worth; where he'll be reborn into the world of knowledge.
This world for him was school, where the poor fellow couldn't drool. With each step, he went farther away from his father; he would rather climb buildings and run miles, but he was yet to know that his world would now revolve around alphabets and numbers.
Grades passed by, he fell and he rose, took a heavy dose of knowledge on some days and on others, a rose for his teacher on Teacher's Day– for this was the way he expressed his gratitude to her, which he hadn't abandoned yet.
Five years passed by, seven were yet to go, when he entered a place which referred to as the "Middle Wing". The place where, he was told, he would soar by earning his wings. Days passed by and so did exams; the steps which lead him here were but a distant memory, but he knew this pain was temporary.
Fours year down to go, the years which will either make him or break him! The years when the young man would turn into an adult, where he would be the future of his nation. Will he build his reputation? Or will he face intimidation?
Well, he did both, and soon, it was time to bid farewell. In his last days, with each step, he went farther away from this place of wisdom– which the young man not only called 'School' now, but his second home.


Riojasaurus was one of the earliest of the large, plant-eating dinosaurs. Riojasaurus lived during the late Triassic period, roughly 225 to 219 million years ago.
Anatomy: Riojasaurus was a massive quadrupedal (walked on four legs) herbivore. It was a about 30 to 36 feet (9-11 m) long and was heavily built. It had a long neck, a long tail, a small head, a long, bulky body, and thick, elephant-like legs with claws. The back legs were only slightly larger than the front legs. Its limb bones were solid and thick, but its backbone was hollow. It had spoon-shaped, serrated teeth.
Fossils: Fossils have been found in La Rioja province, Argentina. Fossils include incomplete skeletons from about 20 individuals.
Name: Riojasaurus was named by the paleontologist José F. Bonaparte in 1969 . The type species is R. incertus.


Quick recap: the Molded Dimensions Team earned best technical paper for their work as the Urethane Restoration Team. The Team sought to find the root cause of the amount of scrap that was being produced each week at Molded Dimensions. We've talked about the problem, the strategy, temperature variation and flatness. Today we'll talk about why preventative maintenance matters and material changes.
When components are not functioning properly, operators cannot make good parts. It is critical that every single oven, hot table, press, mixer, pump, and other piece of equipment is regularly checked to be sure it is functioning properly and that all preventative maintenance is performed at the appropriate times. A capable maintenance team, either in house or hired, is critical for any urethane molding operation. Molded Dimensions' maintenance team completes over 500 tasks each month to ensure that we find equipment problems before they cause processing issues.
The team discovered we had higher scrap on Mondays. They tested various theories and discovered that having the resin spend the weekend in buckets with a weighed-out charge weight, even covered in a humidity controlled environment, caused some of the materials to take on moisture. After figuring out which materials were most likely to be affected, we started filling some of our Monday resin buckets just prior to the start of the shift on Mondays instead of Fridays, the Monday scrap troubles disappeared.
In cases where we had knit lines or shorts, the team made changes to the formula to get a lower viscosity at pouring or a slower gel time, allowing the molder time to pour the material into the mold before it began to cure.
Next time, we'll talk methods and summary.

UAE May Withdraw from OPEC+ Over Tensions With Saudi Arabia, Russia – Reports
Adib Mohd
MOSCOW, Nov 19 — With tensions running high between the United Arab Emirates and its petroleum allies, Saudi Arabia and Russia, Abu Dhabi considers the idea of leaving OPEC+, reported Sputnik news agency.
The Bloomberg news agency reported on Thursday, citing its sources, this step was not in line with the UAE's policy, as the country has stayed away from public conflicts for a long time, preferring to address issues quietly behind closed doors, adding that it was unclear yet whether the warning was "a maneuver to force a negotiation over production levels, or represents a genuine policy debate."
The relations between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi escalated since the late summer, when the UAE increased its oil output beyond the OPEC+ quota envisaged in the deal, prompting warnings from Saudi Arabia. The situation has deteriorated by now in light of the UAE's rising backlash on the distribution of production targets, which the country's government considers unfair.
Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that the UAE officials have not announced in public its intent to withdraw from the organisation. According to the agency, reports on the UAE's exit from OPEC+ have appeared in very challenging circumstances, as any internal disputes may undermine the already fragile oil market against the backdrop of the long-standing coronavirus pandemic that threatens oil demand.
Along with these developments, the UAE Energy Ministry said on Wednesday that it had reached a 126-percent compliance with the OPEC+ oil output cuts deal in October by reducing its production level by 153,000 barrels per day.
Earlier in the week, the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee discussed the situation in the oil market amid the second wave of the pandemic, as well as the feasibility of increasing the alliance's production from 2021 under prevailing conditions. It made no recommendation, although a day earlier, OPEC+ experts recommended that ministers consider maintaining the current production restrictions for the first quarter or for the first half of 2021.
The final decision is expected to be made at the annual OPEC+ ministerial meeting, scheduled for December 1.

Healthy soil, healthy food, healthy people: An outline of the H3 project
by Anne Blenkinsopp on 16/07/2021
H3 Research Consortium respond to the National Food Strategy – Prospects for more Sustainable Food Production
Published on 15 July, the National Food Strategy calls for a tax to encourage sugar and salt reformulation, an expansion of Free School Meals and a major overhaul of food education as part of a coordinated effort to rethink UK diets and the sustainability of food production.
In his Introduction to the Strategy, lead author Henry Dimbleby makes the case for taking an integrated 'food systems' approach, similar to the approach we are taking in our H3 research programme: www.h3.ac.uk
The report makes 14 recommendations to address four key objectives:
Escape the junk food cycle and protect the NHS
Reduce diet-related inequality
Make the best use of our land
Create a long-term shift in our food culture
Welcoming the report and its coordinated food systems approach, researchers from the H3 consortium reflect on different aspects of the Strategy asking how it might contribute to a transformation of the UK food system and achieve the twin goals of improving public health and environmental sustainability.
Prospects for more sustainable food production Lynn Dicks
The National Food Strategy provides a challenging and provocative view of UK food production, explaining in stark terms why it is unsustainable in its current form. UK agriculture is producing 10% of our greenhouse gas emissions, degrading soils and water ways, and causing continuing declines in farmland biodiversity, yet many farm businesses are not even profitable, regularly making a loss or just breaking even, without subsidies.
As part of the solution to 'make the best use of our land', Dimbleby proposes a 'Rural Land Use Framework' with a National Rural Land Map at its heart. The map would be drawn according to national objectives for climate change mitigation (carbon sequestration), biodiversity conservation and overall food production. It would provide detailed assessments of the uses to which any given area of land is best suited and accompanying incentives to drive this.
From nature conservation and climate change perspectives, this kind of large-scale, spatially explicit, objective-driven planning is almost always missing from national strategic thinking, and has potential to deliver far better outcomes.
The thinking builds on a framework devised by Andrew Balmford and colleagues in the Department of Zoology at Cambridge, which compares two contrasting strategies for managing land for food production – land sparing and land sharing. Land sparing separates land for high yielding agriculture from land for wild nature. Land sharing aims to support nature within productive farmland, leading to less productive agriculture per unit area and therefore more farmland overall. Analyses of how wild animals and plants fare under these different strategies generally show that land sparing is better, in terms of wild populations supported by a landscape for a given amount of food production. This has been a source of heated and passionate debate in conservation science over the last decade and a half, perhaps largely because it is interpreted as an argument to dispense with efforts to conserve farmland biodiversity. However, recent analyses in both the UK (1) and Poland (2) have shown that here in Europe, where some of our valued biodiversity is associated with traditional farmland (think corncrakes, yellowhammers and greater yellow bumblebees for example), the best outcome overall involves a mixed strategy, somewhere between sharing and sparing. This gives you what the National Food Strategy calls the 'three compartment model', under which we will divide the country into high-yield farming, low-yield farming (to support farmland biodiversity) and semi-natural habitats.
In practice, this will be complex to achieve. The first rough attempt at a national map (page 4, Appendix 9), gives a sense of the debates and discussions to come. It has high-yield farming covering the Fens and most of Norfolk and Suffolk, while central England and all of the South West are devoted to low-yield farming, with major uplands and wetlands kept for nature and carbon storage.
There are some issues of definition here. What exactly counts as 'low-yield' and 'high-yield' farming? And when does 'low-yield farming' become 'semi-natural habitat'? If the habitat in question is species-rich grassland, then it requires low-yield farming methods (grazing and hay-cutting) to maintain it. The Strategy itself conflates 'low-yield farming' with both 'agroecological farming' and 'high nature value farming', and claims that these farms typically have 20-40% lower yields. For me, agroecological farming is not the same as 'high nature value farming', nor necessarily a land-sharing strategy. Instead, it is a knowledge-intensive system that manages an agricultural ecosystem to be as productive as possible with minimum inputs, and is applicable in both high- and low-yielding systems. Agroecology has many similarities to 'regenerative agriculture'. The Strategy agrees, providing a case study (p104) of an arable farmer who has reduced inputs and carbon emissions dramatically without any drop in yield by following regenerative agriculture techniques, with "similar [methods] to those of an agroecological farmer."
In Work Package 3 of the H3 project, we are working collaboratively with farmers to examine the transition to 'regenerative agriculture' described by the case study. This transition is farmer-led, driven by people on the ground, trying out new ideas. We are looking at its impacts on biodiversity (wild birds), on ecosystem functions such as carbon sequestration, pollination and pest regulation, as well as on soil health, yields and profitability. We will work with farmers across the country to explore how they are supporting each other, sharing knowledge and collaborating at landscape scale to enable a transition from an agricultural system that degrades the farmed environment to a 'regenerative' one that supports and maintains it.
There is certainly a need to conserve and restore larger areas of natural habitat in the UK, but it is not clear to me how dividing agricultural areas of the country into two 'compartments' based on historical relationships between farm yields and environmental outcomes will help us move towards a more sustainable food production system overall.

Who better to translate the DC roller coaster into a great political fiction than someone who has spent decades enmeshed in the gridlock of the country's capital?
Rich Garon is just the guy.
In the eighties and nineties, Garon worked as chief-of-staff of the US House Committee on International Relations. When he retired, he began writing books to capture the stress and struggle of policy work, but also the incredible good deeds that can come it.
Clearly his life's earlier work affected his writing — from the character development of his stories to the fact that he's donating all the proceeds of his debut novel, "Felling Big Trees," to WhyHunger?, a non-profit organization that works to fight hunger and poverty across the globe.
"Felling Big Trees" is set in the 1990s and follows a disgraced and widowed congressman who seeks redemption in America's heartland. Small-town anonymity intrigues him as he recovers from political disaster and tries to free himself — and his teenage daughter — from the grips of his politically powerful mother in law.
A story of romance, power and second chances, "Felling Big Trees" proves that compassion and tolerance are not only possible in a time of strident tone, but essential for survival.
Below, Garon answers 10 questions about his work and writing style. Purchase the book here, and continue following the "Felling Big Trees" blog tour tomorrow over at A Sky Filled With Sparkling Stars.
Did your work as a chief-of- staff for the US House Committee on International Relations influence your work on Felling Big Trees? How so?
Yes, it did. In that position, I had the opportunity to be involved in policy-making on some of the critical issues of the day, such as arms control, human rights, and development assistance issues. Working on Capitol Hill for more than 25 years also gave me first-hand knowledge about how things worked, and an insight into the personal lives of members of Congress, such as how they juggled family with the demands of the job.
What inspired you to write Felling Big Trees?
I believed some of the things I referred to above were worth sharing. I had just retired from my position on Capitol Hill and I thought I could bring an authenticity to things I wrote about in a novel. Themes in the book, such as helping those with few resources and stepping out from apathy when large problems demand action, were themes I wanted to share.
How did you marry compassion and tolerance with a story that also has intrigue and pace?
I believe the essence of a good policy-maker is compassion — a concern for those who need help. I tried to develop characters whose actions could show the importance of compassion against a backdrop of forces that challenged and threatened these individuals. Felling Big Trees is also a romance novel, showing how two individuals develop a relationship of love and hope. It also showcases the importance of father-daughter relationships.
Why use writing as a tool to support ending hunger?
I've learned it is important to use as many platforms as possible to make people better aware of some of the larger problems facing our society. From that awareness can come a political will to work with others to develop policies to help end these problems. I first worked with WhyHunger over 40 years ago when it first started bringing attention to the hunger issue. It is a great organization that has been tirelessly working to reduce hunger and poverty. Accordingly, I decided to donate proceeds from the sale of this book to WhyHunger.
What is the biggest misconception about homelessness or hunger in America?
I don't believe the scope of either problem is well known. While we have made some advances in the past, there are far too many who suffer from homelessness and hunger.
When and where do you write? Have you found you work better on a schedule or did you write when you felt motivated?
I write at home and prefer to start in the early morning. In my case, I've found that I have to write every day, usually till mid-day. There are other times when a great idea occurs or when I've realized something I've written just doesn't work. I'll jot down some notes and work on it when I'm back at the computer.
While working on this book, did you ever experience writer's block or become stalled in your writing? If so, when and how did you push through it?
Yes, more than once. There are so many things involved in a novel of close to 300 pages. Characters, scenes, plots, so many things must tie together. Sometimes you can make quick-fixes. However, you're often faced with major rewrites that you just have to accept and develop.
Do you have any tips for writers on how they can channel their life experience into their storytelling?
I found it's the little things that make for compelling stories. Some small things you can remember about a person or place that are described well can make for a good read.
Will you write another novel?
I have three completed manuscripts (one's a children's book) and I hope to have them published.
If you could invite three people, living or dead, to a dinner party. Who would you invite and why?
C.S. Lewis, Graham Greene, and Jesus. The first two are my favorite authors; their writing skill and intellect never cease to amaze me. Jesus has also had a profound impact on their lives and on mine as well.

Q: Creating Under 18 Trigger in SQL I'm trying to set an age verification trigger. If a job applicant is under 18, it should send an error message. I'm supposed to declare a variable of type date "difference date" and assign difference to the difference in years from today to the dob of the person using
SELECT extract(year from sysdate)-extract(year from dob) INTO difference FROM Person WHERE ID= :NEW.p_id;

So far this is what I have:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER application_age_check
BEFORE INSERT or UPDATE OF p_id
ON APPLICATION
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
DECLARE @difference AS INT =
    SELECT extract(year from sysdate)-extract(year from dob) INTO difference
    FROM Person
    WHERE ID= :NEW.p_id;
    IF (difference < 18);
    THEN
        raise_application_error(-20000, 'Age can not be less than 18');
    END IF;
END;

I keep getting errors when declaring the difference variable. I tried like a million different ways, and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please be patient with me because I haven't worked too much in SQL and I'm still learning.
Thanks.

A: If you use Oracle, then use its syntax.
Sample tables:
SQL> CREATE TABLE person
  2  (
  3     id    NUMBER,
  4     dob   DATE
  5  );

Table created.

SQL> CREATE TABLE application
  2  (
  3     p_id   NUMBER
  4  );

Table created.

SQL> INSERT ALL
  2    INTO person (id, dob)
  3  VALUES (1, DATE '2000-05-18')   --> older than 18
  4    INTO person (id, dob)
  5  VALUES (2, DATE '2010-03-19')   --> younger than 18
  6     SELECT * FROM DUAL;

2 rows created.

Trigger:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER application_age_check
  2     BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF p_id
  3     ON application
  4     FOR EACH ROW
  5  DECLARE
  6     difference  NUMBER;
  7  BEGIN
  8     SELECT EXTRACT (YEAR FROM SYSDATE) - EXTRACT (YEAR FROM p.dob)
  9       INTO difference
 10       FROM person p
 11      WHERE p.id = :new.p_id;
 12
 13     IF (difference < 18)
 14     THEN
 15        raise_application_error (-20000, 'Age can not be less than 18');
 16     END IF;
 17  END;
 18  /

Trigger created.

Testing:
SQL> INSERT INTO application (p_id) VALUES (1);

1 row created.

SQL> INSERT INTO application (p_id) VALUES (2);
INSERT INTO application (p_id) VALUES (2)
            *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-20000: Age can not be less than 18
ORA-06512: at "SCOTT.APPLICATION_AGE_CHECK", line 11
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'SCOTT.APPLICATION_AGE_CHECK'

SQL>

A: Use the correct Oracle syntax and do not compare on only the years, use the MONTHS_BETWEEN function to compare the full dates:
CREATE TRIGGER application_age_check
  BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OF p_id
  ON application
  FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
  v_dob person.dob%TYPE;
BEGIN
  SELECT dob
  INTO   v_dob
  FROM   person
  WHERE  id = :new.p_id;

  IF MONTHS_BETWEEN(SYSDATE, v_dob) < 18*12 THEN
    RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20000, 'Too young');
  END IF;
END;

Q: CSS nested hover events for a menu system Here is my CodePen: http://codepen.io/ScottBeeson/pen/rxquJ
So basically when you hover over an entity, a menu slides up.  I'm trying to create a submenu for each menu item that basically mirrors the menu functionality, but slides down from the bottom of the menu.  Here is an image of what it should look like:

And here is my current HTML:

A

B

C

I can think of a couple ways to do this with JQuery, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do with CSS.  Obviously, populating the menu will be via javascript, but I'm trying to use CSS as much as possible.  So to put it in question form: If I put a static div with a class of "submenu" inside my entity, is there any way with CSS/LESS to trigger it when I hover over a div inside the menu?

A: I don't use LESS, so I can't help you with that.
However, I made you this code, which displays the menu on hover, and the submenu when you hover the menu items. You could set up the structure for a entity like this:

A

1

2

B

1

2

C

And combine it with this CSS:
.entity {
    margin: 5px;
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 260px;
    height: 200px;
    background-color: lightblue;
}
.entity ul {
    display: none;
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: rgb(0,0,0); /*fallback*/
    background-color: rgba(0,0,0,.5);
    bottom: 0px;
}
.entity li:hover {
    background: black;
    color: white;
}
.entity:hover > ul { /* only display direct ul child of .entity */
    display: block;
}
.entity li {
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
}
.entity li > ul {
    background: black;
}
.entity li:hover > ul {
    display: block;
    left: 0;
    bottom: -100%;
}

I hope you can add the smooth effects yourself. Good luck.
Ow, and a DEMO

Amstrad today dismissed a whispering campaign that suggests the firm will pull out of the PC market. While matchmakers link Amstrad's successful direct sales PC division Viglen with any number of vendors, a spokesman for the firm said the rumours were mischievous "nonsense".
Amstrad today dismissed a whispering campaign that suggests the firm will pull out of the PC market. While matchmakers link Amstrad's successful direct sales PC division Viglen with any number of vendors, a spokesman for the firm said the rumours were mischievous "nonsense". "Not a scrap of it is true," said the spokesman.
Although many pundits have suggested that Amstrad chief Alan Sugar is more interested in the performance of his Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, the spokesman insisted that Sugar has no plans to switch his focus from PCs to FCs. "Tottenham is still a small business compared to Amstrad. Alan's eye is firmly on the PC market."
A deal that would have given Psion control of Amstrad fell through last year and Sugar's company recently sold its Dancall cellular communications business.
Steve Bennett, managing director of Warks.-based mail-order giant Software Warehouse, laughed off suggestions that his company could be in the frame: "I wish I had the money to be able to afford Viglen," he quipped.

I've been trying out portraits recently after receiving the Derwent Coloursoft Skintone set as as a gift and decided to have a go using some of my existing pencils to achieve the same effect, so I was looking to match the skintone shades to my other sets. My CarbOthello set had a few gaps around the Skintone and Grey range so I decided to buy a few extra pencils. I thought completing the set for £20 was a little steep seeing as I haven't used them in ages so I decided to just pick the ones I thought I'd use rather than buying all 12.
I left the shop with 8. It's okay, I've been good recently.
Now I just need a tin to put them in. I'm finding it hard to find tins for sale with individual sections so each pencil doesn't bump together (they usually come with pencils inside) so I think I'll have to grab another Derwent tin when I'm next in Rochester.
I'll be inking this later.
Spent 3 hours sitting out in the sun this afternoon, rather nice for the middle of March.

Sometimes Rides Bikes: Highland Trail 550 Race Day 4.
What a stunning morning. I was in no rush to leave this place.
Soreen and water for breakfast.
About an hour after getting up, I was packed, and set off down the hill.
On the first up, I felt a hot spot on my heel. I stopped and put some compeed and tape on to prevent any further deterioration.
Going was slow down, and next, also up through Achfary forest.
The view from Bealach nam Fiamm.
My average speed so far was slow for the morning. so I smashed it down the hill.
Hungry I stopped for the most expensive burger and chips I've ever bought at Kylestrome.
And of course I had a beer.
As I rolled along the road I noticed a faint scratching/grinding noise. As I rode towards Lochinver it became more noticeable.
I stopped. I couldn't find play in the cranks, the pedals, the headset or the wheels doing the usual "wiggle" test.
I rode on. The noise was maddening. I stopped again. I took all the bags off, and did all the checks again.
Over 15 mph and the noise was crazy as if something was going to explode. At slow speeds it wasn't so noticeable. I started dragging the brakes as the noise wasn't too bad at slow speeds.
Nearly at Lochinver I heard metal on metal as I descended a short hill. My front pads had expired.
I stopped to replace them.
Whilst replacing the wheel I found the cause of the phantom noise. The right hand front wheel bearing had some play in it.
I was gutted, there were 300 miles still to do, and my front wheel was apparently on it's way out. I guessed one of the bearings had been crushed, leaving the others unevenly to take up the load.
I put the bike back together and rode on towards Lochinver.
Nearly at Lochinver I stopped to refill my water bottle. I stood by the stream, my legs wobbled, and I nearly fell in. All the worrying and ascertaining the cause of the metallic grinding noise had made me forget to eat anything for a couple of hours.
I arrived in Lochinver in a right mess. Two cans of coke, a pork pie and a whole ginger cake and I felt well enough to continue.
I was devastated. My fear had been my body packing in, not my bike letting me down. Incidentally, the wheel was near enough new.
The sun was out, I headed for Glen Canisp.
My mood was dark though.
The track starts off incongruously enough. Soon it turns into a much different proposition though.
The final straw in my day was having to change my GPS batteries in a cloud of midges. 10 minutes later, I'd jacked for the day, far short of my intended destination. A meagre 55 miles for the day.
I was mentally and physically shattered.


Jailbird Kid is the story of Angela, a 15-year-old girl, her mother, and the father who is a petty thief and aspiring gangster. Just out of jail, Angela's dad has only a Grade 10 education and seems to be incapable of improving his job prospects with education or training. Angela is busy with school and the usual teenage fears about friends and image. She is also frightened about her dad's ability to adjust to normal life, to be the average secure dad she longs for. She has two stable influences in her life, however - her mother who is proving to be a capable single mother, and her grandmother. Both are strong women who are more than capable of making a reasonable life without the jailbird dad, but loyalty keeps them from breaking free. Angela is torn between hope and despair over her dad's future in the family.
This novel has some good ideas and the basis for an interesting family conflict, but the details seem strangely dated and unreal. The setting seems to be deliberately vague, with nothing that gives the location any credibility or reality. Also, details of the dad's life after jail seem to be somewhat lacking in research. No mention is made of a parole officer or any training that the father might have been received in jail. There is no mention of any training programs or help offered at the job centre or any official help in adjusting to civilian life. The references to Al Capone and other gangsters serve to indicate the immaturity of the dad, but they seem a little dated. I would also suspect that, in a small town, everyone would have known of the father's jail sentence. With some editing and a credible setting, perhaps the emotional conflicts would be more convincing.

Mercedes-Benz pulls out of Russia
Siranush Ghazanchyan Send an email October 26, 2022, 16:36
Mercedes has become the latest Western company to pull out of Russia.
The German-based firm stopped manufacturing in and exporting to the country in early March. But now it says it will withdraw from the Russian market and sell shares in its subsidiaries to a local investor.
Japan's Nissan left Russia earlier this month, following the same move from Toyota and Renault.
Harald Wilhelm, chief financial officer of Mercedes, said its move out of Russia was not expected to have any serious new effect on the company's profits.
Other car firms, including Jaguar Land Rover, General Motors, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce, all halted deliveries to the country in the early months of the war in Ukraine.


Unsustainable fishing has been identified as the most pervasive of all local threats to coral reefs.ref Over 55% of the world's reefs are threatened by overfishing and/or destructive fishing. Some regions, such as Southeast Asia, are particularly threatened, where nearly 95% of reefs are affected. In fact, many of the world's most remote coral reefs are heavily fished. ref Reef fisheries are an important source of food and livelihood for many coastal communities worldwide. In some cases, these fisheries are well managed and can be a sustainable resource. However, fish stocks are increasingly threatened due to numerous factors including increased demand for fish and seafood products; more efficient fishing methods; inadequate management and enforcement; and lack of alternative livelihood options. Overfishing (i.e., catching more fish than the system can support) leads to declines in fish populations, ecosystem-wide impacts, and impacts on dependent human communities. Destructive fishing methods include the use of explosives to kill or stun fish, which destroys corals. This method, called blast or dynamite fishing, shatters coral colonies and kills the coral tissues on adjacent colonies. Because blast fishing is limited to shallower parts of the reef, these vulnerable zones can be reduced to rubble by repeated blasts, making recovery difficult or impossible and destroying large sections of reef. Another destructive fishing method involves the use of cyanide to stun and capture fish alive for the live reef food fish or aquarium fish markets. Cyanide that is sprayed or dumped on reefs can damage and kill corals. In addition, fishers often break corals when attempting to extract the stunned fish, causing further damage to the coral reef ecosystem. Unfortunately, about one-third to one-half of fish collected using this method die soon after they are harvested, ref making this a particularly destructive method of harvest.
Some types of fishing gear, including gill nets and beach seines, can also damage reef ecosystems. These types of fishing gear drag along the ocean floor and capture or flatten non-targeted juvenile species and corals in their path. Abandoned fishing gear, such as lost traps or nets, can continue "ghost fishing," i.e., ensnaring prey and smothering corals for months or years after deployment. ref Abandoned nets can also entangle and dislodge corals due to wave action. Additionally, scuba and hookah diving have opened up deeper areas to fishers of sea cucumbers, pearl oysters, lobsters, octopus, fishes, seashells, and corals. Destructive fishing methods like dynamite, gill nets and beach seines are highly unsustainable because they typically do not target particular fish species and often result in juveniles being killed in the process. Damage to the coral reef structure further reduces the productivity of the area, thus adversely affecting both the reef-dependent fish populations and also the livelihoods of fishers and nearby communities.
Such impacts are exacerbated when combined with other coral reef threats such as climate change, coral disease, and land-based sources of pollution. A number of management strategies to address overfishing and destructive fishing have been identified including the establishment of no-take areas within MPAs, seasonal closures to protect breeding sites, restrictions on number of people allowed to fish, types of fishing gear used, and the quantities or sizes of fish that can be harvested. Read more about reef fisheries.

Beautiful color for the sky. I love the feel but it is on the cusp of being a little too light and transparent. I prefer a slightly heavier linen. That being said, I enjoy working with it it's soft and pliable.
I love the color of the linen and it looks great. I love the fast shipping and your service. Excellent.

Zweigart is the best linen and the 'Ice Blue' color is just beautiful. A perfect choice if you are looking for a 'sky' background.


At the Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) this year, conversational commerce was in, and in a big way. Many different research initiatives were announced by several companies. It's clear that listening and communication devices and natural language recognition are going to be redefining the shopper experience for years to come. That said, the largest value will still be how a retailer manages and sorts through data.
Data-driven decision-making is one of the hottest topics in retail and discovering exactly what the term means and how it will advance our industry is a defining challenge.
Understanding how data will evolve and transform day-to-day or long-term strategic direction is a complex matter at best, and a swampy mire at worst. I'm no futurist, but I have my finger on the pulse of some of the most important issues and developments that will alter the future of retail, and I want to share some of them with you so we can discover together what might lie ahead.
Most customers aren't concerned about which channel they use to engage with a retailer. From their perspective, being funneled through various channels on the way to a purchase often throws irritating obstacles in the way of that purchase. We're in a new era. Whether you brand it the era of omnichannel, unified commerce, or conversational commerce, one thing's for certain: data is the driver.
If I'm looking for a new shirt, being forced to decide between going into a store and navigating that particular time sink is not the most enjoyable option. Conversely, having to navigate an abstract online storefront where I'm unsure about sizing is also unpalatable.
The "post-channel" world works to solve problems inherent to both in-store and online. Retailers leverage information about my past purchases, employee conversations, and other interactions with a given brand or store to get me the shirt I want on a "fourth channel." Products that are selected for me with my data and then delivered to my door (with my permission, obviously) are the way forward. Amazon dove headfirst into this industry, providing replenishment of favorite products in a seamless and easy fashion.
While the little picture I painted above is enticing, the challenges associated with building a big data play are significant. Businesses can have enormous amounts of data surrounding a single transaction, but unless it's partitioned and organized, they can also have a big mess. Compound that with the numerous streams of data generated by consumer interactions on e-commerce portals, social media, geographic information, smart tech, and the IoT; it's a major, intricate, and often confusing undertaking.
That's why the RFID-instrumented store is so enticing. Systems that allow for rapid organization, sorting and segmentation are extremely promising, giving retailers the ability to build a Gutenberg-level development — data that's explorable, searchable, dynamic, and responsive to customer needs and demands. A better understanding of causation, especially in a customer purchasing context, is going to be extremely valuable.
Alongside all this new data and its potential uses, we have a suite of mobile devices and business processes that are enhancing the retail experience, online and off.
Mobility has matured, and the industry has a clear understanding that mobile devices can create actionable results. Whether it be gathering customer information in store or using smart devices to track inventory and update signage, the ability to make business omnipresent is unlocking new opportunities and challenges.
All this works toward a redefinition of what "product" means. We're moving away from the traditional model of things, where you buy something and that's the end of the experience. Curated assortments of goods and services are the future — from SKU delivery and subscription services to personalized consumer education about new products and offerings. There's a whole world available to retailers, and all they have to do is unlock it.
Intel is one driver of the conversation around the future of retail and data. In conjunction with CGF in Berlin, we collaborated with Capgemini to release a white paper entitled, "IoT for Consumer Goods and Retail Businesses, which provides a clear guide to building value from data and the IoT.
If you'd like to find out more about Intel's IoT and big data initiatives, head to our solutions page. And to learn more about what was discussed at CGF, visit their website.

The journey to photographing a World Cup final
Four years ago: the top of the stands. Today: pitchside.

Share All sharing options for: The journey to photographing a World Cup final
Pitchside view of Groupama Stadium with a mini-banana.
Nikita Taparia
This was my view on July 5th, 2015, when the USWNT won the World Cup in Canada. It was after a Reign-Portland 2014 game that I knew I had to buy tickets to the World Cup. I could not miss out on an opportunity to experience a final to the biggest event when it was a few hours away from me. I brought my camera for fun and just used the default automatic settings.
My view of the World Cup Final 2015.
A few days ago, I got the email confirming my credentials for the 2019 World Cup final in France. We often talk about four year journeys for players as they make a World Cup roster. I started reflecting on my own four year journey and the important people involved.
After the World Cup in 2015, I started using Reign games at Memorial Stadium as my training ground. I would bring my basic camera to each game early, sit front row, and just take pictures. If you know anything about Memorial stadium, you know the lighting is terrible and my camera was definitely not equipped to photograph sports in low light. But that never really stopped me. In fact, it just forced me to get creative and artistic.
Celebration photos from the stands are the best.
Two years later, I got an unexpected message from Ann Odong, asking me to photograph the Matildas for Tournament of Nations. It was my first pitchside experience and I had never been more nervous. The moment the games were over, I knew I had to do it again. I could never go back to being just a fan in the stands. I was absolutely addicted.
Pitchside at Centurylink stadium in Seattle, 2017.
That's when I decided to send cold emails because sometimes you have to make your own luck. The subject of my email to Alex Ratcliff: "NWSL/USWNT photographer hoping to add a new perspective to the women's game." He was the first person to emphasize off the pitch moments for me, something I pride myself in now. With his help, I got to photograph the Thorns v Pride 2017 semifinal among many other games. I always say Memorial Stadium is where I unleashed my creativity and Providence Park is where I learned to paint soccer renaissance paintings and capture atmosphere.
The day I learned the beauty of a soccer renaissance painting.
And while I regard the NWSL semifinal as my best game of that year, I think the biggest moment of 2017 was returning to BC Place, home of the 2015 World Cup final, as a photographer. I remember saying 'I started from the top and now I'm here' because it seemed unreal that I could be back in the place where it all began.
BC Place, pitchside, 2017.
As luck would have it, that's where I met Katelyn Best, and nearly a month later, I joined Stumptown Footy as a photographer. At this point, my work is now scattered across many of the NWSL SB Nation blogs. However, last year, just when I thought it could not get better, I was given the opportunity to showcase my pitchside creativity for a few NWSL games (thank you Jacqueline Purdy and Meg Linehan). I think it was after the championship game, I knew I had to apply for World Cup credentials.

I know there was some luck involved, but as I have always believed: luck is just when preparation meets opportunity. Every single NWSL game trained me for this moment. Four years ago, I could barely operate a camera properly. Two years ago, I could not believe I got to photograph a game pitchside. Today, I get to photograph a World Cup final.
