Q + A with Video Producer David Albright

IF A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS, THEN VIDEO MUST BE WORTH AT LEAST A THOUSAND MORE. It's an idea embraced by freelance video producer David Albright, who fell in love with the medium more than a decade ago during a film class in college. The Seattleite now bases his eponymous company David Albright Media out of Seattle, and his subjects and clients range from politicians to corporations such as Allrecipes and Amazon. Albright has captured ten years of footage for Seattle's beloved women's basketball team, The Storm, weaving an episodic narrative of the unique triumphs and challenges that come with being professional athletes. "I gravitate towards storytelling—even if it's something like an event, you still have to tell the story of the evening, which is more than just getting 'cool looking shots,'" Albright explains.
For the GRAY Awards, Albright captured the buzz of the red carpet, and the magic of the entire party in all its confetti-filled glory—with Scott Carty as host, you won't want to miss the memorable clips. We sat down with Albright to dig deeper to find out what makes a video project successful, and how the design community can leverage the medium to tell the stories behind the spaces.
How do you conceptualize a beginning, middle, and an end to your videos?
DA: Stories do have to have those three things; a lot of times with video that's something that's neglected. Making sure that there is some story structure—introducing characters, establishing their personalities, and story points that establish the narrative arc are vital. In company videos or product videos, you have to be intentional about making that happen or it can end up being a generic recitation of information.
How have you seen video change since you started, and how is the medium evolving?
DA: Ten years ago it felt like a bigger undertaking for a client to do a video, so they'd often want to pack everything about their product or company into their video. We'd end up with these big broad company-profile type videos. Today there is just so much more video content being created that you don't have to have your video be everything all at once—each one can be more focused. There's still a place for broad videos that showcase your whole brand, but now there's also all these little pieces of content that come and go more quickly. It's fun because it allows you to be a little more experimental.
What are some misconceptions people have about video production
DA: People tend to think that their options are the high-end agency style work or the low-end shaky, shot-on-my-iPhone videos, with nothing in between. In reality, there are many levels, and it's possible to do engaging, high-quality work on a reasonable budget.
Does everyone have a story to tell through video?
DA: I don't know about everyone, but I think all designers definitely do. With good design, there's usually a lot more to it than meets the eye. A photo can convey the visual, but a video can take it a step further and really convey every aspect of the design and the story behind it. If you've put the effort into designing that product, service, or experience, why wouldn't you take that final step and make sure it's presented in a way that really captures all that work?
What's the best way a company can use video?
DA: A company should use video to showcase what makes them unique. Skip the generic platitudes and get specific—what's unique and different about your brand or your design?
What's one of your favorite videos you've ever produced (you know, besides the GRAY Awards)?
DA: One of my favorites was a video I did with Glassybaby for Mother's Day. We brought in a pair of sisters who told us all about their mom, and then we showed them picking out the perfect votive based on all the qualities they loved about her. It was just such a sweet way of showing how these items take on meaning for people because what really told the Glassybaby story is the personality of the kids and their emotions. Most importantly, we didn't just tell the audience that—we showed it.
What are your best tips for making a good video that people can incorporate into something as simple as an Instagram Story…? A few do's and don'ts?
DA: My number one tip is always to make sure you convey something authentic—viewers can sense phoniness a mile away. If you want to show someone interacting with your product, film someone who's never used it before and capture their reaction. Don't have your marketing person fake it… People can tell the difference!
Also a practical tip—if you don't have a professional lighting, natural light coming through a window is going to be your best friend. The recessed lighting in your break room is not going to be flattering, nor is standing out in the direct sunlight. Stand a few feet from a window and you'll get a soft, diffused light that'll be flattering for you, your product, your lunch—whatever you're trying to capture.

This is a common question that people ask themselves as they make decisions about how they want to live. Here's another question that is equally important: What if the powers that be looked at you and said something like, "We made a mistake when we told you that you have 24 hours to live. You have 30 days."?
What if you were given a decade or even better, an entire century? At some point you would realize that you need to find the balance between immediate gratification and planning for the long-haul. Your adventures would be enjoyed while at the same time you were preparing for the future by taking care of your mind, body and spine. If you didn't, and you just went at life full speed ahead without a long-term vision in mind, then you might end up with some incredible stories while your body, bank and relationships become beaten and broken.
One of the most interesting things we hear people say when talking about the possibility of their extended lifespan is "they don't want to live to 100". But here's an important point to consider: You may not have a choice. 100 year old people are the world's fastest growing group and none of these people planned to live this long. If you have relatives in their 80s, 90s or over 100 years old, then the odds are that you will live at least that long or longer. What will your quality of life be like along the way?


Europe is a very popular travel destination. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or planning your first trip nike shox nz eu offerta , there are several important things to keep in mind before calling your travel agent and booking the next vacation: 1. While "Paris in the Springtime" sounds very romantic, the truth is that you're liable to spend many days indoors, because the weather can be cold and rainy. On the other hand, the French Riviera in the springtime boasts warm temperatures, sunshine and beautiful places to visit. If you're not sure of weather patterns, check with your travel agent who can advise you on rainy seasons or other weather-related issues for traveling to a specific spot. 2. Budget: Decide how much you've got to spend, and don't forget to include extras like tourist attractions, getting around nike shox nz outlet , souvenirs and meals (which are typically more expensive in Europe than in the states -- dinner can cost upwards of 50 Euros per person, especially in metropolitan cities). If your budget is smaller, consider visiting Eastern Europe, looking for packaged tours, or, if you're flexible, book a "last-minute" trip, which can often save you 30% or more. Check out the current exchange rate between your currency and that of the country you'll be visiting nike shox nz scontate , to have a better idea of what your vacation is going to actually cost you. Whenever possible, travel during an off-peak season to save even more. 3. Your secret dreams or "someday" wishes: For most of us, taking a vacation is something we get to do only once a year, and often plan and save the whole year for. So if you have always wanted to visit somewhere or do something special -- why wait? Include it in your next vacation plans. 4. Political Climate: While most countries that rely on tourism make every effort to ensure the safety of tourists, these days it's always a good idea to keep up on the current political climate of the country you're planning to visit, especially if there have been problems in the past. 5. Your own "internal clock": If you prefer sleeping in, in the mornings, and "doing your own thing" then a guided tour is probably not for you. Most guided tours start early in the morning nike air zoom pegasus 31 donna , and you're on the go until evening. You may visit several cities in a country or countries within a specified amount of time, and you're required to stay with the group. On the other hand, if you don't like traveling alone, you enjoy the companionship of others and getting to see as much as possible in the time you've got, a guided tour or cruise may be just the thing for you. 6. How you like to spend your time: Take a little time to think about what you like doing before planning your trip. Do you prefer the water, or the mountains? Lying on the beach, or rock-climbing? Adrenaline rushes or visiting an art museum? While going outside your comfort zone and trying new things can be a great experience, spending your time doing something that bores you silly or makes you uncomfortable and unhappy just doesn't make sense. Once you know what you want to do nike air huarache uomo , figure out what you'll have time to do. Many times, in an effort to get the "most bang for our buck" we tend to over plan the vacation, and end up needing a vacation from the vacation when we get home! Prioritize your list, and be willing to save some activities or attractions for another trip. 7. Use the resources that are available to make your trip special and save money: Today's travelers have numerous options when planning their vacation. You can use the Internet to find out more about the cities or countries you want to visit, check out prices, even book your flight or hotel room. If you're visiting a place for the first time, check with a travel agent, talk to someone who's "been there nike air huarache og , done that" on an Internet Forum, or contact local chambers or commerce or travel councils to get more information about where to go, what to see and what to do. 8. You can use trip-planning software, or your own favorite organizing system to organize and plan your trip. Don't forget things like making sure your passport and picture ID are up-to-date, finding out if travel insurance is something you need, and how and where to exchange your money. The more organized you are in the beginning, the better vacation you'll have. 9. Most of us take too much on a vacation, and end up lugging heavy suitcases and other bags along filled with items that we either don't use or don't need. When planning your trip nike air huarache hyper punch , look at your wardrobe and pack as lightly as you can. Take only what you'll really need, and remember that if you forget or end up needing something, chances are you can get it once you reach your destination. 10. Have fun! Get organized, make your plans and expect the best. That way, once you're on your way, you'll be able to relax and enjoy yourself. But remember, there are very few "perfect" vacations, so if something does go wrong air huarache love hate pack , try to relax and "go with the flow" as much as possible. Experienced travelers say that sometimes their best vacations have been the ones where the unexpected happened.


Where Does Computer Science Stand When It Comes to After-School?
A new report from the Afterschool Alliance finds that there's still a lot of confusion among after-school providers about what it means to offer computer science.
The report titled, "Growing Computer Science Education in Afterschool: Opportunities and Challenges," examines the role of computer science in after-school programs.
"We were really curious how our after-school practitioners were thinking about this: Are they interested, do they see it as something useful for their students, and of course, what are they doing and what are their challenges?" said Melissa Ballard, STEM manager for Afterschool Alliance.
The report is based in part on a survey of 376 after-school programs. It also includes information gathered from two focus groups: one made up of members of state-level organizations that support after-school programs and the other made up of local after-school leaders.
The survey was not nationally representative, although a broad geographic area was covered and urban, suburban, and rural areas were represented. Survey responses came from 46 states with only Delaware, Nevada, North Dakota, and Washington excluded. Most of the responses (44 percent) came from after-school programs that primarily served high-poverty student populations. Programs that served middle-poverty populations made up 35 percent of the responses, while 21 percent came from respondents serving low-poverty student populations.
The survey asked respondents to identify the top three activities they associate with computing, and providers that had never offered computing were more likely (69 percent) to list activities associated with computer literacy such as typing and using the Internet. But 75 percent of the providers with experience offering computing listed at least one traditional computer science activity such as coding.
Whether the providers currently offered computing, had offered it in the past or had never offered it, they all cited qualified staff as the biggest challenge to offering computing.
The report also provides recommendations for after-school providers, computer science education experts, and industry partners. Providers are encouraged to share best practices with one another, while CS experts are called upon to develop curriculum specifically for after-school programs, and industry partners are asked to invest in meaningful partnerships.
Since computer science is a part of the Next Generation Science Standards, Ballard said, after-school programs have a great opportunity to collaborate with school districts to offer this type of programming. She said these programs should also look to community partnerships to help when it comes to bringing computing to students outside of school hours.
"People are really trying to come together and think about how they can do this holistically, thinking about all of the different types of learning spaces that are available," said Ballard. "We hope that having this report can help get that conversation started."

The Hate Report: Woman fakes Trump-driven hate crime, but plenty of real ones exist
By Will Carless and Aaron Sankin	/ September 21, 2018
In this week's roundup: fake Trump-related hate and real Trump-related hate.
The story was a familiar one: 19-year-old Adwoa Lewis told police in Baldwin, New York, earlier this month that she was driving home when she was confronted by a group of teenagers who shouted, "Trump 2016," and stated that she "didn't belong here," according to the Nassau County Police Department.
Lewis also told police that she woke up the next morning to find her car's tire had been slashed and a note had been left on her car saying, "Go home."
But last week, Lewis was charged with making a false statement to police. Detectives concluded that Lewis had made up the whole thing. She admitted she wrote the note herself.
While Lewis' claims appear bogus, there have been scores of documented hate crimes and hate incidents in which people have invoked the name of President Donald Trump in the last couple of years. And several of those have resulted in hate crime charges, some of which led to convictions or guilty pleas.
As we documented in our investigation Trumping Hate earlier this year, we identified more than 150 reports of Trump-themed taunts and attacks stretching across 39 states over the past year and a half. We found these cases using the Documenting Hate database, compiled by ProPublica.
While it was not possible to verify the authenticity of every incident reported to Documenting Hate, we outlined cases of hate crimes in which Trump's name was invoked that led to hate crime charges.
Those included the case of Robin Rhodes, who was indicted on hate crime charges last year after attacking a Muslim employee at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport and yelling, "Trump is here now. He will get rid of all of you." And the case of Brandon Ray Davis, who avoided an initial hate crime charge by pleading guilty to lesser charges after he attacked a gay couple in Key West, Florida, and shouted, "You're in Trump country now."
While reporting Trumping Hate (which you should listen to, if you haven't yet), I also spoke with dozens of people who reported being the victim of hate spewed in Trump's name. Victims sometimes broke down crying in those interviews, and almost everybody I spoke to repeated verbatim claims they had made often months before.
There's also data suggesting that hate crimes increase in the wake of Trump's negative comments against minorities. A paper by researchers at the University of Warwick in England found that Trump's antagonistic Twitter use probably has spurred hate crimes.
The researchers found:
Trump's Tweets on Islam-related topics are highly correlated with anti-Muslim hate crime after, but not before the start of his presidential campaign, and are uncorrelated with other types of hate crimes.
Here's how San Diegan Melissa Johnson, the recipient of racist comments from a Trump supporter, described the current atmosphere under the president to me earlier this year:
Trump is giving these people so much power, so that they feel as though they're also running the country. These horrible, ugly people now have a voice. And I'm so tired of hearing it because I've heard it my entire life. But it was whispers before. Now they're yelling.
The week in hate crimes
In Gonzales, Louisiana, 60-year-old Robert Ray was arrested on various charges last week, including a hate crime, after allegedly telling a 19-year-old Latina woman to "go back to Mexico."
Local media reported that Ray got into a fight with the woman's family and punched her father and hit him with a boot. The local CBS affiliate also reported that Ray previously was arrested during a similar incident in 2017:
Ray reportedly approached a man and a young girl with a gun in the Gonzales Walmart parking lot and told them, "This is what you Mexicans deserve." But those charges were dropped when the alleged victim did not show up for court.
In Guthrie, Oklahoma, 75-year-old Jerry Heilman got into a dispute with his neighbor last week over change for a $20 bill he had given her to buy him cigarettes, local media reported. The argument escalated, and Heilman used a racist slur against his neighbor, who called police. Heilman was charged with a hate crime.
And in Madison, Wisconsin, on Friday, 61-year-old Ronald E. Duell was charged with a hate crime after police said he repeatedly used a racial slur against an African American police officer who had been called to help him.
The local CBS affiliate reported that police were called to a bar to deal with Duell after he told patrons that he had a gun, that his son had just died and that and was going to kill himself. When the officers arrived, Duell told them that he didn't have a gun or a son who had just died.
Then he allegedly launched into his racist tirade and threatened to kill the officer.

        ]
    }

I use tag for series name and data for series data.
I need to be able to store server property to the series. How do I do that ?
The series is added dynamically.

A: Use something like this:
var data = {
    "tag": "Temperature01",
    "server": "SQL01",
    "data": [ .. ]

Some passengers being 'left behind' as capacity on public transport reduced to 25%, NTA head says
NTA CEO Anne Graham said today that there are "more people travelling than need to travel" which is putting pressure on capacity.
Oct 23rd 2020, 11:18 AM 19,022 27
THE CEO OF the National Transport Authority has said that capacity issues on bus services in Dublin have meant that some customers have been "left behind" during the morning rush hour.
Speaking to RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Anne Graham said that people should only use public transport for "essential trips" to ease congestion and delays facing people as they try to go to work or school.
Under Level 5 restrictions, public transport will operate at 25% capacity for the purposes of allowing those providing essential services to get to work.
Compared to the first lockdown however, when public transport capacity was also reduced significantly, schools and the construction sector remain open.
Unions have said that capacity issues created problems for early morning commuters especially over the past two days.
Yesterday evening, NBRU's Dermot O'Leary told RTÉ's Drivetime that a lot of buses were leaving their original terminus at capacity, and that it was causing "mayhem" as customers at later stops were unable to board a bus.
This was being seen again today, according to Graham.
She said: "While we still have some capacity issues on some of our buses, both Dublin Bus and GoAhead Ireland put out additional services this morning. So it has improved the situation.
"There are still services that are reaching capacity and unfortunately some customers are being left behind."
Graham said that only a small number of additional buses can be rolled out, and there is a sense that "there are more people travelling than need to travel".
"Our message would be if you're going to use public transport, really do you need to make that trip," she said.
She said that it was hoped that additional services could help meet demand this evening, and repeated a call for people to only use public transport services if it's essential.
Graham said it's important that there's capacity available for essential workers going to work and pupils going to school.
She added that it was policy to leave windows open on public transport services to improve ventilation. However, in cases where it's raining heavily, for example, the windows can be closed.

Dark Knight = Dick Cheney Fantasy? WTF?
Posted on January 12, 2009	by Michael Koby
While reading some articles about how the film "The Dark Knight" is bound to be snubbed at the Academy Awards I ran across this article entitled "The Dark Knight Turns Out to Be a Dick Cheney Fantasy" where in the author turns what is probably one of the best movies of 2008 into a propaganda film for right wing ideology. This caused me to silently think to myself, "huh?"
The author spends some time point out some key points in the movie but fails to understand some very basic aspects of the Batman mythos. For example
…the Joker's violent schemes are described as inexplicable, pure chaos, the actions of a man who starts fires "just to see them burn."
To really understand the Joker, you need to have read two very important graphic novels: "Killing Joke" and Grant Morrison's "Arkham Asylum" both which give phenomenal insight into the Joker's mind set (and both have been mentioned by Nolan & Ledger as the inspiration for their Joker). These really explain that the Joker really has zero rhyme/reason to his madness. In fact, "Arkham Asylum" goes so far as to say that the Joker represents a kind of "super sanity" in which he reinvents himself on a daily basis. This kind of thinking can be seen in Nolan's Joker in that the story of his scared face changes each time he tells the story.
The problem is, previous representations of the Joker on screens both large and small, play him as a jokester rather than a crazy clown. The reason for this being that with the popular Fox animated series from the nineties is that it was geared towards children and you can't have a murderous clown in a children's cartoon. Even the 60's Batman series played the Joker as a prankster rather than crazy. However, the comic shows that the Joker is truly crazy and will do just about anything for a "laugh" he really does just want to "watch the world burn" as Alfred puts it.
In the comics, the Joker kills a Robin, threatens to detonate a nuclear bomb, and even eventually kills the wife of Commissioner Gordan in cold blood. He doesn't really care about money, fame, or his own life. He just does what he does because 1) He can and 2) he wants to.
Also, another aspect of the Joker that the author completely ignores is that he is the chaos to Batman's control. Batman has to be in control. He constantly learns from his mistakes and ensures to not repeat them. However the Joker is the exact opposite. The yang to Batman's ying. To completely ignore this aspect of the two characters is to ignore the very essence of each of them.
If you read further into the comments, some reader goes so far as to mention that the Joker "video tapes his victims before he kills them" and that he blew up a hospital. Again, it is obvious these people have never read a comic book and look at movies and television for their knowledge of the Joker character. First off, the Joker used the radio in the early comics to announce his crimes. Usually as a direct challenge to both the police and Batman. You can look at DC's trade paperback book "Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told" to see many examples of this. The videos in "The Dark Knight" are just simply an extension of this behavior (not to mention a more modern version of it). Also the Joker blows up many buildings throughout his career. Many times for no other reason than just do so. There's even a whole miniseries where he goes on to hack Gotham's computer systems and bring the city to a grinding halt (similar to "Live Free or Die Hard").
The thing about the Joker in Nolan's film is that he is probably the purest representation of the Joker on any screen. And this scares people. There are people out there that commit atrocities for the sole purpose of doing so. They do so without reason. To deny that there is evil in this world is simply ignorance at it's purest. Also, I think that the author some of the people who commented on the referenced article are just reading way too much into a comic book movie. Really, it's just a movie folks, its not propaganda.

A Visit to a Bitcoin Mining Farm in Sichuan, China Reveals Troubles Beyond Regulation
As many small and medium-sized mining data centers in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Inner Mongolia are closed for the sake of "environmental protection", the "green" ones that remain operational usually avoid media exposure. After talking with dozens of data center owners, news.Bitcoin.com was granted the chance to visit a mining farm in Chengdu only to find that miners there are facing more pressing problems than regulation.

Bitcoiners Negotiated with Hydropower Stations to Set Up Mining Farms
Following a four-hour flight from Hangzhou to Chengdu and a two-hour drive from the airport to a small village, we finally arrived at a hydropower station.
Electric transmission lines are installed from the station to the blue-roofed mining factory. There are three mining data centers and each has 2,500 mining machines. The operations manager Chuan told us that the electricity price has increased from 0.3 yuan per kwh to 0.4 per kWh as Sichuan is in its dry season.
We asked how he found the place and negotiated with local officials and he replied that starting a mining site is an investment with low thresholds.
This is actually a funny story. When we first met people at the hydropower station, we told them we were a cloud computing company, but the manager of the hydropower station laughed at us and said 'Bullshit, I know you people came here to mine bitcoin. Just tell us what can we get'. As to local government, we don't have to meet with any officials, the station will help coordinate. And who can get the right to set a mining factory? The rule is very simple: first come, first serve.
Workers Were Fired as They Were Caught Stealing Electricity to Mine for Themselves
The mining site is filled with massive fans. When we stepped inside the door, all of the workers turned their heads to look. Chuan leaned over and whispered "Excuse them, these boys haven't met any visitors for a long time."
The data center looks messy and dirty on account of all its hanging wires and mining rigs. Chuan said that they are shorthanded and need dedicated workers to take care of the machines.
"I fired three guys 20 days ago because I caught them stealing electricity to mine bitcoin for themselves. It is a public secret among workers. They always do this at midnight to escape attention. There is so much for these new guys to learn. I told them to close the door, but they have to keep the door open and dirt just settles everywhere around the mining rigs."
Miners Are Plagued with Poor Management and Cliques at Work
At the data center, we saw two types of miners: Antminer for bitcoin, and GPU miners for ETH and Zcash. Chuan believes that Antminer is the best among Avalon and Ebit. They are "low maintenance and energy saving", says Chuan. The average shelf life of a miner would be two years. If anything goes wrong with machines that workers cannot fix, they just return them to the after-sales service. He added that he sees Ebit as the most direct competitor to Antminer.
When Chuan went to answer nature's call, we had a quick chat with a worker standing by the door. He revealed himself to be a new graduate who found bitcoin mining "unreal" and decided to take the job. He used the word "exciting" to describe his life here. Whenever it's lunch time, all workers will rush into the kitchen. If he acts slow, there will be no food left for him. And they all sleep in the warehouse, with the only entertainment the opportunity to exchange dirty jokes with one other. He further revealed that:
There are many problems with mining farms like poor management, bad working conditions and cliques at work. Things must change if the business wants to sustain for the long-term.
Note: The mining site belongs to Ryan, an early bitcoin adopter in Australia. He owns several mining factories in China. This July, he was interviewed by China's central television, only to suffer, after the program had aired, most of his Sichuan mining sites being closed. To compound his woes, he was cursed by Chinese miners for being "an idiot" and was labeled the most hated man in the mining industry. Large-scale bitcoin mining might sound like easy money, but as Sichuan's miners will attest, it's a stress-fraught job that's plagued with risks.
What do you think are the main threats facing bitcoin miners? Let us know in the comments section below.

Work will progress as planned on Tadcaster bridge after an objection against the plans from Samuel Smith's Old Brewery was withdrawn.
The recently approved plans to widen the bridge, currently under repair, were thrown into doubt this week when Selby District Council received a seven-page objection to the plans.
The brewery, owned by businessman Humphrey Smith, launched the objection on the grounds that it "contradicted planning policy" and stressed permission should have been refused.
However, the council confirmed on Wednesday that the objection has been withdrawn with North Yorkshire County Council now able to press ahead with the work.
Coun Mark Crane, leader of Selby District Council, said: "This is great news for the whole town, as it means that the repair and improvement works can now go ahead as planned.
The town was split in half when severe Boxing Day floods caused a large section of the 18th century bridge to collapse and crumble into the waterway.
Plans to install a temporary footbridge to connect the two sides threatened to hit a stumbling block in January following a further objection from the brewery.
Mr Smith refused to allow the temporary footway to be built on his land, labeling the £300,000 project a waste of money before Tadcaster Albion proposed an alternative location.
Tadcaster resident Kirsty Perkins had planned to organise a "civilised rally" in the community to show support of plans, by marching on the brewery.However, Ms Perkins said she was relieved the objection had been withdrawn.
She said: "From our point of view, we are just overwhelmed that the objection has been withdrawn.
The government pledged £3m for repair work within days of the bridge collapse, and £1.4m was given by the region's Local Enterprise Partnership to widen and strengthen the bridge.
The brewery has so far declined to comment.

Vada's To-Do List:
- Turn 18 (check!)
- Register super name
- Order supersuit
- Attend superhero indoctrination
- Graduate high school
- Start kicking criminal tail
Vada Lawson can't wait to be a superhero. Born into a family with special powers, she's been training to fight criminals and villains her whole life. But her indoctrination into the underground super community is derailed when normals start breaking out in superpowers themselves.
Not trained to control their new abilities, the normals are frightened and vulnerable. Then their mutilated corpses begin turning up all over town. What the heck?
Somehow, with the help—and hindrance—of an annoying newly-minted super named Orion, Vada has to stop the chaos before it destroys her and everything she holds dear…and ruins her superhero debut.
No one ever said that being a superhero was easy…
Henley finished her drink off just as she spotted Nick for the first time all evening. He had entered the kitchen from the backyard, laughing along with several of his friends while they refilled their cups. Not a single one of them looked her way, and she thought it was probably for the best that they didn't catch her staring.
She was too far away to hear what they were discussing, but she watched out of the corner of her eye and waited for an opportunity to approach Nick. When his buddies began to disperse, most of them returning to the backyard, Henley saw her chance.
However, after only two steps in Nick's direction, she lost her nerve. Instead, she turned and pretended to look at an insanely boring painting on the wall of a table with a bowl of fruit on it.
"What?" Henley jerked her head to the side when she heard the voice. A shadow in the hallway behind her moved forward and Victor Cursey emerged.
He was tall and dressed in black pants, shirt, and jacket. He seemed to blend into the dark hall behind him as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms. There was a wickedly sinful smirk on his face that made Henley want to blush. She did her best to suppress the urge.
"I saw that sad attempt," he said, nodding toward the kitchen where Nick was still lingering. "You didn't even make it out of the living room."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Victor's knowing grin proved otherwise. "If you say so. But he'll never notice you. You should know that by now. The prince isn't the type to be drawn to girls like you." He paused and looked her over from head to toe. "No matter how attractive you are."
Henley couldn't stop the shiver she felt under Victor's intense gaze. When he swept his eyes over her, he seemed to almost be…absorbing her. Every hair on her body stood at attention. On one hand, she felt violated by his gaze and wanted to slap him for it. On the other hand, she secretly enjoyed the attention.
"Why do you call him that? Prince?"
"Well, that should be easy to decipher. Nicholas Grayson is Cyper City royalty, in every way that counts, isn't he? Son of the city's white knight and best at everything he does. Sounds like a fairytale Prince Charming to me."
"You must read some pretty shitty fairytales, Victor."
This drew a genuine smile from his face. "You know my name?"
"I know everyone's name." Henley was clearly bluffing, but it seemed like a good retort at the time. She wasn't sure why she was even talking to this boy, but she couldn't make herself walk away. "And if you hate the prince so much, why come to his party?"
"Oh, that's an easy one. I have to work, after all."
Henley wanted to ask him what he meant by that but she saw movement out of the corner of her eye and noticed that the prince in question was walking toward her. She froze. But Nick immediately turned down a different hallway, leading away from her. A second later, he was gone from view.
Victor chuckled beside her, then held his hand up and dangled a vial of bright yellow liquid in front of her face. "Want to talk to the prince? This will give you the nerve to do it."
"What in the hell is that?" Henley stepped away from him, studying the vial with the same scrutiny she would give a giant tarantula.
"Just something to take the edge off. You can call it…courage in a bottle."
"That's a vial, not a bottle."
He rolled his eyes but held the container steady. "Last chance, beautiful. You want it or not?"
"How much?" Henley couldn't believe those words had just left her lips. She had never once considered using drugs. Sure, she had snuck a drink or two, but this was something that could lead to dire consequences, addiction…even death. Yet, the longer she stared at the sparkling liquid, the faster her worry began to fade. This was just a one-time deal. Surely, she could survive one hit. People did drugs at parties all of the time, right?
"For you?" Victor lowered the vial and placed it into Henley's hand. "It's on the house." He leaned closer and whispered into her ear, "But when you grow tired of the prince, you should come find me. I'll show you a much better time and I won't ever ignore you."
Henley closed her eyes as he spoke. His voice was smooth and low, and sent a chill down her spine. She felt herself sway off-balance and her eyes flew open to find the hallway empty. Victor was gone, but the vial of courage was still in her hand. Before she could convince herself otherwise, she pulled the stopper out and gulped the contents down.

In the 1800s, dedicated jokesters printed official-looking tickets for the fake lion-washing and handed them out all over London.
April Fools' Day is not a new invention: the first recorded instance of pranksterism is over 300 years old. In 1698, Dawks's News-Letter reported that "several persons were sent to the Tower [of London] Ditch to see the Lions washed." The Tower of London's moat was (and is) lion-free, but suggesting that people visit the Tower for the "washing of the lions" remained a popular prank for several hundred years.
April Fools' pranks abound in the media; since newspapers, radio, and television reach large numbers of people simultaneously, they're perfect vehicles for large-scale jokes. Blogs are no different, and April 1st gives you an opportunity to inject a bit of levity (and maybe publish a highly shareable post that brings you some new readers — everyone loves a laugh).
Never tried an April Fools' joke before? Be inspired by the Brits. True to their history as the originators of the public hoax, they take the lead in publishing pranks, too.
Eve the Germans get in on the April Fools' action — a Berlin newspaper once published their fictional rendering of proposed new city buses.
1980: The British Army's Soldier magazine publishes an article explaining that the fur on the hats worn by Buckingham Palace's Royal Guards actually continues growing and requires trims, complete with a fake photo and scientific-sounding faux-splanation. Editors at the London Daily Express are among those who believe the article, republishing it for their own readers.
1991: The London Times reports that the M25 highway will become one-way: to relieve congestion, traffic will go clockwise on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays and counter-clockwise Tuesdays and Thursdays. The BBC — who you'd think would know better, given their own love of April Fools' Day — falls for it, airing interviews with angry locals.
Blogs are a fun way to pull a few legs on a smaller scale. You can shape an April Fools' Day post to fit with whatever you blog about. Use it just to go for laughs (think spaghetti farmers) or to poke some gentle fun and the institutions and ideas you blog about (like the M25 prank).
April Fools' Day is a great opportunity to ruffle a few feathers, but you do want to be carefully not to take things too far — the Veterinary Record found itself responding to concerned readers for months after the teddy bear scare; you don't want to leave your readers similarly worried. Follow a few guidelines to ensure that your prank post ends in a laugh rather than your readers clicking "Unfollow" in a huff.
Need more inspiration? Check out the top 100 April Fools' pranks of all time at the Museum of Hoaxes.
Pick a premise that fits with your blog. If your blog is mainly personal musings, try some fake news about your life. If you blog about a particular subject, go with something on that topic. You want readers to assume that they're just reading another interesting post from their favorite blogger.
Make sure the post sounds like you — your voice, your subject matter, your perspective. It's not a prank if readers immediately become suspicious. Draw them deeper into the joke by writing the way you normally would.
Go over-the-top with things like details, names, and explanations. If your post involves fake experts, give them silly names. Make up fake studies. Quote a long-dead person. Choosing a realistic premise makes your post believable; adding outlandish details brings the laughs (and hopefully, the clues that help readers figure out that you're joking).
Tell readers it's a prank before they close your post. Don't leave people wondering, or force them to contact you for confirmation. Leave a clear indication that your post is a hoax — end the post by saying "April Fools'!" or including a link for more information that goes to a "Happy April Fools' Day!" page. The more serious the subject matter, the more important this is; you don't want to leave your leaders, particularly personal friends and family, worried about what they've read.
Think about the sensitivities of your audience. Understanding what pushes your audiences' buttons is key. If you're a vegan blogger, animal-based foods are likely an issue; if you're a sports blogger, maybe it's a particular team or rule. You can use this to your advantage, but can also pound on those buttons too hard. Be aware of your readers' pressure points, and ask yourself whether you're pushing too hard; you're prodding playfully, not engaging in competitive Whack-a-Mole. The goal is to surprise readers, not anger them.
Be timely, but not too timely. A tie-in to a current event can make your post feel more realistic, but some things will be too raw to be humorous prank fodder — no disappearing planes or museum bombings in your April Fools' jokes, please. If you're not sure, run your idea by a friend. If their first reaction is "Too soon!" then it's too soon.
Don't use real people who aren't you. Implicating another person in your hoax is not the best idea, even if you get permission from the person; it's harder for people to discern a joke if they think multiple people they trust are involved. Keep any people who figure into your post to yourself, public figures, and invented characters.
There's a fine line between a moment of worry that ends with a laugh and genuine concern, and no one wants to feel that they've legitimately been made a fool of. Don't rush your prank post — take the time to flesh out an idea and examine it to be sure you're not creating an inadvertent panic, and you'll be on the road to a good guffaw.
All of this is very true about April Fool's Pranks. But, I hope many celebrate the festivities of what April Fool's Day brings!
Hi Michelle, could you tell me when the next blogging101 is due to start. I want to do it again! My internet a playing up so I'm having trouble loading blogs to find out for myself. Many thanks!
The next one will start on Monday, June 1 — look for registration to open in May.
Thanks Michelle, I thought it might be around now. Are you having a break between them then? I'll make a note in my diary!
Blogging U is taking May off this year, yes, so we've got a short break.
Thanks Krista, have I missed the boat for April then?
Oooo, this will be fun. Thanks for the details on how to formulate this post and make it fun for readers and writers.
Hi Michelle, what theme are you using? I really like it. April Fools' is big in Czech Republic, I just don't know how well the jokes will translate. I'll give it a try.
Michelle uses the Ryu theme for her blog. As you can see, she's done a bit of customization.
thanks for the heads up. i usually forget to plan for days like this, but it actually gives me a good time to try one of the posts i've been saving. we'll see if i can brush it up in time.
I'm so late for this.
I've thought about doing this before but never done it. Prompted by this piece, I'm going to be posting something tomorrow. Watch this space!
Haha!!! I totally forgot that it was April Fools' Day!
Oh no! I would not, I got fooled already. However I saw a lovely video about the the early beginnings of Daily Post 10 minutes ago.
detected. A truly Smart horror. This was a April fool's story today?

Ransomware is malware that locks up a computer or network to prevent access to data until a ransom, usually demanded in Bitcoin, is paid. Hospitals are the perfect mark for this kind of extortion because they provide critical care and rely on up-to-date information from patient records. Without access to medical histories, drug usage, surgery directives, and other information, patient care can get delayed or halted, which makes hospitals more likely to pay a ransom rather than risk delays that could result in death and lawsuits.
Ransomware has the potential to expose patients' Protected Health Information (PHI). PHI is at the center of HIPAA regulation, and any potential release of PHI is a potential HIPAA violation, even when it occurs due to nefarious and illegal acts from outside 3rd parties. Ultimately the healthcare facility is responsible for safeguarding the health information of its patients.
In July, HHS released FACT SHEET: Ransomware and HIPAA, a guidance document on how covered entities can use HIPAA compliance to protect their organizations from ransomware and their HIPAA responsibilities if they are a victim of ransomware.
This document describes ransomware attack prevention and recovery from a healthcare sector perspective, including the role the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) has in assisting HIPAA covered entities and business associates to prevent and recover from ransomware attacks, and how HIPAA breach notification processes should be managed in response to a ransomware attack.
You can read the full document at FACT SHEET: Ransomware and HIPAA .
Happy Birthday HIPAA – You are no longer an adolescent and like many 20 year olds, it looks like you aren't likely to slow down any time in the near future. As compliance and training administrators, expect more rule changes and interpretation from the HIPAA regulations in the years ahead.


Our brain is collecting information about the world around us all of the time.
It gets that information from our senses – what we can see, hear, touch, taste and smell.
The brain works out what all this means and then we react to all that information.
Of course, the messages are constantly changing as we move around or things change around us.
Children with autism (say aw-tiz-m) get all of that information, but they are not able to make sense of it all.
Their ears hear normally, but their brain cannot understand what others are saying. Sometimes, sounds that we like are far too loud to them.
Their eyes see normally, but some things seem to hurt their eyes, and some things seem to be very interesting.
Sometimes they are so interested in looking at something that they do not notice what else is going on around them.
It is hard for that person to learn to communicate and to understand what is happening in the world around him.
About 1 in 100 children have some difficulties with communication and interactions with other people which fit into the diagnosis of Austism Spectrum Disorder. Only a few of them have severe problems.
If someone is smiling, we think they are happy or they want to be friendly with us. Our brain has made a connection between smiling, happiness and friendliness. Someone with autism does not make that connection.
We are all used to the everyday noises that surround us – music, traffic, kids in a classroom, etc. Someone with autism may feel really upset by noise and will try to shut it out of her or his ears.
We communicate with each other by talking, listening and watching.
Someone with autism will have trouble learning to speak, or understanding what people mean when they are talking.
We like to be part of a group and hang out with friends.
Someone with autism may not like to be around people, even close family and friends.
We all need to learn how to act around other people.
Someone with autism may act in unusual ways, like flapping her arms, waving her fingers, saying something over and over again, and wanting to do the same thing all the time.
We know that things change and we adapt to changes.
Someone with autism will get very upset when things change, such as when something has been moved in her room.
All of us are different and unique.
People with autism are also unique and different. Some may have a lot of trouble coping with life, while others may only have a few problems.
Most of us go to school to be educated and to learn all kinds of different skills.
Someone with autism may be more comfortable learning in her own home or in a special class at school, or may be quite happy to be in a regular classroom.
We are able to learn about a lot of different things.
Someone with autism may not be able to learn much about a lot of things, but she could know an enormous amount about one or two things.
People who have autism are born with it, but the signs that they are having problems usually do not show up until they are at least a year or more old.
It seems that to have Autism you need to have different genes to most people, but even when a person has those different genes, he might not develop autism. It seems that you need something else to happen to trigger autism. It also seems that the brain of children with autism starts to develop differently before birth.
Often other people in the family of someone with autism have some developmental problem too. They may have autism, or just be a bit 'odd'. Sometimes they are extremely good at learning and remembering things.
It can take a while to find out if someone has autism. There is no simple test, like a blood test, to see if someone has autism.
It may take a group of different kinds of health professionals working together to work out whether someone has autism.
a psychiatrist (say s-eye-k-eye-a-trist) – a doctor who specialises in helping people work out their difficulties in relating to others and the world around them.
be early if you are meeting your friend somewhere. He could be very upset if you are not on time.
be very clear about making arrangements to meet. Say exactly where and when.
You could have a look at the topic Having a disabled child in the family.
"I don't like it when someone moves my things – it makes me feel upset."
"Living with someone who has autism can be challenging. Everyone needs to feel cared for and loved. If you have someone in your family or in your class who is autistic (say aw-tis-tik), you can help him by being encouraging and caring. It is not cool to be unkind to someone who is 'different'. Others may think you are a bully and no-one likes bullies.
These topics may be helpful who has a person with autism in the family or at school.

DJ Stewart Gets 'New Start' With Promotion To Orioles
By: Todd Karpovich, September 13, 2018
Outfielder DJ Stewart made his long-awaited debut for the Baltimore Orioles Sept. 12.
Now, the onus is on the former first-round pick to show he can be an everyday major-league player.
"You're going to like the way he plays, you're going to like the way he competes," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Sometimes that can be rewarded, too. He's got a good eye at the plate, got some pop. It's the biggest jump, and I'd be surprised if he doesn't hold his own here. He's a talented kid. I really like the way he approaches things from an effort standpoint and his alertness."
Stewart was the 25th overall pick in the 2015 MLB Draft out of Florida State and methodically made his way through the Orioles' minor-league affiliates. He had his best season in 2017 for Double-A Bowie, hitting .278/.378/.481 with 21 home runs and 79 RBIs.
If he can find that form for the Orioles, he could be a fixture in the lineup. This season, however, has been challenging for the 24-year-old.
Stewart battled some injuries and had an uneven performance for Triple-A Norfolk. He got off to a solid start, batting .271 before going on the disabled list with a hamstring injury May 26.
When he returned several week later, he never quite got into the same rhythm and hit .235 with 24 doubles, two triples, 12 homers, 11 steals and 55 RBIs during 116 games for the year.
"For me, it was a tale of two seasons," Stewart said. "Started off relatively hot and kind of carried that into from last year in Bowie. To me, I think, this is not making excuses at all, but after I got injured a little bit and now that I had that week [after the minor league season] to think about it, I feel like when I got back, I was kind of trying to get back to where I was hitting before I got hurt instead of just playing."
Stewart played left and right field and went 0-for-3 during his Orioles debut. He must show he can be a viable contributor in an outfield that currently has eight players on the 40-man roster.
For now, Stewart is trying not to put too much pressure on himself because he tends to struggle under those conditions
"Early in the season, I was just playing the game, having fun and getting hits," said Stewart, who batted .212 in the second half of the year for the Tides. "When I got back it was like, 'Alright, you have to get back to where you were.' Kind of put too much pressure on myself, just trying to do too much. Trying to get three hits in one at-bat when no one can do that.
"To me, it was more of a mental thing that kind of I let snowball on me a little bit. But to have that week off, this is like a new start. See what can happen."
The Orioles will be closely watching.

Orioles Second-Half Preview: Opportunities Abound

The following information is for APS managers who are looking to provide professional development opportunities for employees through planned mobility.
More detailed information for employees on ways to move around the APS is at Changing Jobs in the APS.
SES secondment opportunities can be seen at Learning and Development opportunities for SES.
Agencies are encouraged to initiate the planned, temporary movement of targeted employees to build capability and develop a more experienced and engaged workforce.
to another organisation—including a non APS agency, statutory authority, state, territory or local government, the not–for–profit sector or a private company.
Placements can occur in the same geographic locality or a different locality. They can include arrangements where there is no physical relocation of the employee.
the roles and responsibilities of the home and host organisations and the employee.
It is common for participating employees to continue to receive existing work entitlements through a secondment arrangement to minimise administrative complexity. However, funding arrangements are a matter for the parties to determine.
Mobility initiatives do not necessarily lead to a change in an employee's entitlements unless all participating parties are in agreement.
Agencies are encouraged to consider the role of mobility initiatives in the context of business needs, workforce plans and talent management programs.
The following principles are designed to help agencies get the most from the planned, temporary movement of employees.
Movement to enhance employee development is seen as a strategic initiative and is valued as part of the organisation's management of talent.
Mobility initiatives enhance an organisation's workforce capability in a cost effective way and support an employee's professional development.
External mobility initiatives are undertaken with an organisation that has a natural alignment with the home organisation business or the learning objectives of the participating employee.
Mobility initiatives balance advantages and risk for the home organisation, the host organisation and the participating employee.
The objectives for the home agency, the host organisation and the participating employee are clearly documented.
Mobility initiatives are tailored to meet the needs of participating agencies and their employees.
Employee mobility initiatives are evaluated for their usefulness, cost effectiveness and overall benefit to the employee, the home agency and the host organisation with a view to continually improving the way in which these initiatives are undertaken.
Information on secondment opportunities can be found at Talent Management.

Q: Capitalising interpolated language keys The problem:
With i18next you can interpolate variables into your string like "AddNew": "Add new {{item}}" Now I have a language where the grammar requires the {{item}} needs to be the first word like "AddNew": "{{item}} toevoegen".
In the docs they show some support for formatting, but these are all related to dates or numbers. I am looking for a way to add a capitalisation formatting function e.g: "AddNew": "{{item, capitalise }} toevoegen"
What I have so far but isn't working
A function that capitalises the first letter.
export function capitalizeFirstLetter(string: string): string {
    return string.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + string.slice(1);
};

And attempting to add it to the formatters
i18n.services.formatter?.add('capitalize', (value, lng, options) => {
    return capitalizeFirstLetter(value);
});

Now I had to add a ? after .formatter for TS to not complain. But I'd guess that this is also the issue, formatter is undefined. I can only import Formatter and Services with a capital letter from the i18next library, so I'm a bit lost on how to continue.

A: Make sure you add your custom formatter AFTER you called i18next.init(): https://www.i18next.com/translation-function/formatting#adding-custom-format-function
