199. The Apes and the Two Travelers (Perry 569)
TWO MEN, one who always spoke the truth and the other who told nothing but lies, were traveling together and by chance came to the land of Apes. One of the Apes, who had raised himself to be king, commanded them to be seized and brought before him, that he might know what was said of him among men. He ordered at the same time that all the Apes be arranged in a long row on his right hand and on his left, and that a throne be placed for him, as was the custom among men. After these preparations he signified that the two men should be brought before him, and greeted them with this salutation: 'What sort of a king do I seem to you to be, O strangers?' The Lying Traveler replied, 'You seem to me a most mighty king.' 'And what is your estimate of those you see around me?' 'These,' he made answer, 'are worthy companions of yourself, fit at least to be ambassadors and leaders of armies.' The Ape and all his court, gratified with the lie, commanded that a handsome present be given to the flatterer. On this the truthful Traveler thought to himself, 'If so great a reward be given for a lie, with what gift may not I be rewarded, if, according to my custom, I tell the truth?' The Ape quickly turned to him. 'And pray how do I and these my friends around me seem to you?' 'Thou art,' he said, 'a most excellent Ape, and all these thy companions after thy example are excellent Apes too.' The King of the Apes, enraged at hearing these truths, gave him over to the teeth and claws of his companions.

As Pursuitist fans know, I'm a big admirer of Walt Disney. Not only am I inspired by the work of Disney, but I also have great family connections with the parks — my family has appeared in Disney TV ads and has been featured nightly at the "Magic, Memories, and You!" projection show on Disney's Cinderella Castle. However, when we received our invite to visit Disney's Golden Oak, their new luxury community, the destination exceeded our expectations (See our initial review, impressions and photos of Disney's Golden Oak here).
Quality. From Walt Disney movies, theme parks to the Golden Oak project, Disney is all about the quality. Quality that includes amazing experiences, being exceptional and not cutting corners. These themes thrive at Golden Oak. The attention to detail at their new luxury community is remarkable — they take quality and "plus it." They take something great and make it even better. Plussing.
The Pursuitist had the opportunity to chat with Page Pierce, the vice president of Disney's Golden Oak. Learn how the Disney tradition of "plussing" is at home within Golden Oak.
Q. How long has the plan for Golden Oak been in the works?
A. The concept of a luxury home development for guests with a high affinity for Walt Disney World began to take shape in 2005, and was announced as Golden Oak in June 2010. Around that same time, Four Seasons approached Disney about opening a hotel near our theme parks in Florida. Disney Imagineers went to work to create the designs and plans for what is now Golden Oak at Walt Disney World Resort.
Q. How is Golden Oak unique compared to other experiences at WDW?
A. This is the first time that families have had the opportunity to actually live at Disney. Additionally, through something we call the Disney Connection, Golden Oak homebuyers have access to VIP passes that provide admission for the pass-holder and up to four guests to eight Disney parks and attractions with no block-out dates. Other amenities include door-to-park transportation, merchandise discounts and free parking.
Q. At the end of the year, how many homes will be built?
A. We are very excited by the progress at Golden Oak. About a dozen families have moved into the community as of July, with even more on the horizon. When complete, Golden Oak will encompass 450 homes across 980 acres.
Q. Tell us about the Club House, what will be benefits for your residents?
A. Summerhouse, the private club for Golden Oak homeowners, is now open, offering residents and their guests exclusive access to lounge areas, a lap and family pool, a game room and state-of-the-art fitness facilities. The Resident Services team is based at Summerhouse, providing guests with concierge-style assistance – from making dinner reservations to arranging VIP park tour guides and door-to-park transportation. When fully operational, Summerhouse will feature food and beverage accommodations in both indoor and outdoor dining areas.
Q. Seriously, you will have concierge garbage pick-up?
A. Yes! Residents don't need to worry about hauling their garbage out to the curb – we'll take care of it.
Q. How will Golden Oak residents take advantage of the Parks?
A. Homebuyers who close on the purchase of a home before the end of this year will receive a complimentary three-year Golden Oak VIP pass that provides access for the passholder and four guests to eight Disney World parks and attractions, including Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Blizzard Beach, Typhoon Lagoon, DisneyQuest and ESPN Wide World of Sports. Residents can also enjoy no blackout dates, free parking, door-to-park transportation, and more as part of the Disney Connection.
Q. When will the Four Seasons resort open — and what will be some shared luxuries?
A. The Four Seasons is anticipated to open in 2014 and will offer Golden Oak residents multiple dining options and access to luxury spa amenities.
Thanks to Disney and Page Pierce for the interview.

US Economic Outlook: Inverting the Cost-Benefit Structure
"When you visit India…and I suppose it is true when you visit China or Brazil too…you don't even notice at first…it's not so much a thought…but more like a feeling…"
We were explaining to colleagues why it's the end of the world as we have known it.
Back to that in a minute…
The Dow rose 102 points yesterday. If this keeps up we're going to have to amend our view.
In our way of looking at things…we are still in a prolonged bounce following the big drop of '08-'09. Stocks have yet to realize that the economy is in a depression. Yes, we know it doesn't seem much like a depression. Even we have stopped using the term…
Now we're calling it "The Great Correction"…in which we're expecting a number of things to get sorted out – including the stock market boom from '82-'07…the post-'71 dollar-backed monetary system…and the huge credit expansion that goes all the way back to 1946.
But that's not all. It could be that this period will correct the whole, extraordinary surge in Anglo-Saxon power that began in the 17th century. English speakers have been on a roll since Sir Francis Drake defeated the combined armada of Spain and France in 1588. Soon after England began putting together her empire…and then, the industrial revolution turned Britain and America into economic powerhouses.
In addition to reducing asset prices and de-leveraging the economy, The Great Correction could be reducing the relative power and influence of the English speaking peoples. We don't know…but that's the way it looks now…
Returning to our conversation…
"Of course, things are a mess in Mumbai…I mean, the traffic is terrible…the heat is appalling…there are people who look like they haven't eaten in a month…
"But you can't help but notice that India is moving forward. It's chaotic; it's uncomfortable; it's unpredictable…but it is going ahead. People are young. Buildings are new. There are new cars on the road…and new shops opening up.
We saw a couple of Tata Motors' new Nano cars – cute little cars that sell for only $2,500. But there were dozens of car varieties we never see on American or European roads.
"You can't help yourself…you begin looking into the future…and imagining what it will be like when they finish a bridge or complete a road…or demolish a slum…or find new ways to do things…new ways to get along with one another…and new ways to run the country…
"Then, when you come back to France or America, you're suddenly back in the past. It's a relief, because everything seems familiar and orderly. Like a museum. But it's a let-down too…because you're back to dealing with old problems…old people…and old institutions. While the emerging economies look ahead…the developed ones look back."
What is this health care bill? Is it a new way of making the future better? Or is it an old solution to an old problem? The feds first considered a takeover of the health care industry during the Roosevelt administration. They've been working, planning, plotting their way towards the same objective ever since – for 80 years.
And what they've finally gotten is yesterday's bad solution to yesterday's problem.
The nation state was invented by the French at the beginning of the 19th century. By the middle of the 19th century, Otto von Bismarck added the refinements that we know today as the modern welfare state.
And now…as every welfare state in the world faces decline and bankruptcy…America has completed its collection of welfare state essentials – with a national health care system.
Why are the old welfare states going broke? Because the payoffs to the past have become too great. There are too many old people who expect pensions and health care. There are too many old industries that, like patients in a mental hospital, need to be cared for. There are too many bailouts…too many subsidies…too many protections…too many safety nets.
Every society is a pact between the future and the past. A new society looks to the future. An old one looks back at the past. As a successful economy matures it owes more and more for things that have already happened. China builds new high-speed railways, for example, while in the US we're still paying Amtrak's losses of the last 40 years.
Over time, more and more special interests, anglers, parasites, leeches and lobbyists get a grip on a financial system. They find ways to take advantage of it…to exploit the system for their own ends. Trade unions, business groups, the rich, the poor, the middle classes – everybody wants a benefit.
The health care act is not a bold new initiative that will lead the country forward into a new era. It is 2,400 pages of payoffs to old interests – payoffs to senators and congressmen for supporting the bill, payoffs to the pharmaceutical industry, payoffs to organized labor and insurance companies…payoffs to groups that were set up many years ago.
The benefits go to the past; the costs go to the future. Even if the economy were running at normal speeds, the deficits of the world's leading welfare states would still be increasing. Only 10% of current deficits are related to "stimulus" efforts. The rest is payoffs… To organized interests representing the past.
In the US, Federal debt is expected to reach 140% of GDP by 2014. In the G7 countries as a whole, debt-to-GDP will go over 100% just two years from now.
The welfare state model is no longer the model for the future. It's a model for the past…that will soon be defunct.

More radioactive water leaking from Fukushima storage tanks
by The Associated Press
Tepco admits the underground tanks are "not reliable"
TOKYO—The operator of Japan's crippled nuclear power plant said Tuesday that it had detected a fresh leak of radioactive water from one of the facility's storage tanks.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. (Tepco) previously said two of seven huge underground tanks at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant had been leaking since Saturday if not earlier.
The latest leak involves a tank that was being used to take water from one of the two that were leaking, Tepco spokesman Masayuki Ono said. Up to 120 tons might have leaked from one of the tanks and smaller amount from the other two, but none of the radioactive water was believed to have reached the ocean, he said.
Tepco has halted the transfer of water to the third tank, diverting it to a fourth tank that remains intact. Two of the seven tanks are currently unused.
Ono said Tepco has decided to stop using the two most damaged of the three leaking tanks as soon as they are emptied, but will use the other because of a tank shortage.
"We admit that the underground tanks are not reliable," Ono said. "But we must keep using some of them that are relatively in good shape while monitoring them closely. We just don't' have enough tanks on the ground that can accommodate the water."
The tanks are crucial to the management of contaminated water used to cool melted fuel rods at the plant's reactors, which were damaged in March 2011 by an earthquake and tsunami. They have since stabilized significantly but the melted fuel inside must be kept cool with water, which leaks out of the reactors' holes and ruptures and flows into basement areas. Plant workers are scrambling to find extra tanks at the plans and believe they can find space from unused containers and underground tanks.
The plant is being decommissioned but continues to experience glitches. A fuel storage pool temporarily lost its cooling system Friday, less than a month after the plant suffered a more extensive outage caused by a rat that short-circuited a switchboard, cutting off power to four storage pools for fuel rods and other key facilities.
The spate of problems has triggered public outcry and renewed doubts about the plant's safety. Tepco resident Naomi Hirose headed to Fukushima on Tuesday to inspect the latest problems and address the concerns. Regulatory officials said Tepco was too slow in detecting earlier signs of leaks and disclosing the problems.
The underground tanks, all built by Maeda Corp., come in different sizes, including one the size of an Olympic-size swimming pool and similar to an industrial waste dump, are dug into the ground and protected by two layers of polyethylene linings inside the outermost clay-based lining, with a felt padding in between each layer.
Ono said Tepco hasn't determined the cause of the leak, but cited a hole or a partial detachment of the linings as a possibility. Regulators also suspect a design problem of the underground tanks, which Tepco allegedly chose as cheaper option to steel tanks to save money.

Campground Halloween Fun
Campground Halloween Costumes and Festivities
Are you and your family planning on spending Halloween away from home? Maybe you're taking a camping trip over Halloween weekend? If so, then you're in for a treat. Many campgrounds have trick-or-treating, haunted houses, haunted walks, special parties, and more. You can even carve pumpkins to make your campsite more festive!
One of the most important aspects of Halloween is putting together your costume. Assembling your own costume is one really fun part of Halloween preparations and festivities. With all of the costumes sold in stores, homemade costumes are becoming less common. Creating your own original costume is a fantastic way to really get into the spirit of Halloween.
There are a few simple ways to get a costume together. Step one is to come up with and idea. There are no limits on what you can imagine. Your ideas can be scary, heroic, dramatic, kooky -- whatever interests you the most. You need only remember that your idea needs to be one that is actually possible to make and it also needs to be wearable.
Thrift stores are great places to get pieces for your costume. They often have items that are specifically saved for Halloween. If you can sew, you can choose your fabric and pattern at a fabric store. Often, you will find a fabulous selection of Halloween costumes. You can also use your access to nature to create parts of your costume. Shells and flowers make terrific accessories.
Shells make a creative and artistic addition to princess costumes. If you collect plenty of beautiful shells they can be strung into a necklace or even attached to the collar of a dress. Flowers make nice hair ornaments.
If you want a mask, you can use leaves. All you need is to get a simple mask, which can be bought at most stores around Halloween, glue and the leaves you want to use. Branches and sticks can be used as walking sticks, and if you are so inclined and have the right costume, you can create and string your own bow and arrows. Mud can also be a good part of a costume, should you need to look dirty, or if you just want to use it like face paint.
While you are camping, you have the chance to meet lots of different people. Maybe the new people will help you come up great costume ideas. If your campground doesn't already have planned Halloween festivities you can take charge and plan some for everyone who wants to participate. You could even organize a costume contest so you can celebrate and showcase all of the creative Halloween costumes of your fellow campers.
The costume is only one part of the whole Halloween celebration. You should also figure out how to make your evening as spooky fun as possible. Ghost stories are a great way to add a little scare to your night. Sharing ghost stories over the campfire is always fun -- just make sure your stories suit the audience. After everyone has spent the evening trick-or-treating, enjoying the jack-o lanterns and participating in all of the Halloween festivities you can find, be prepared with your best ghost story to share with you newfound friends.

Outerwears 3" Non-Shielded Crank Breather Pre-Filter w/o Top - Black
Outerwears was created to fulfill a desperate need to keep the Air filter and engine clean during off road racing.
Racers and engine builders were experiencing loss of horsepower and engine damage due to sand, dirt, and other debris prematurely packing (clogging) the filter and often passing through the filter into the engine. Filters loading up with dirt meant loss of horsepower and in many cases loss of a race. Race crews were noticing severe engine damage due to dirt entering into the engine. Thus, a true need for a product designed to keep out additional dirt without interfering with airflow was necessary.
Skip ahead to today, and the widely used Pre-filter can be seen on a variety of applications from circle track racing, street, motocross, jet-ski, ATV, snowmobile, kart, military, industrial machinery, and consumer appliances. Outerwears has a product for virtually any air intake application.
Pre-Filters unique polyester material contains uniform, micron-sized openings to allow air in while filtering out the grime that will eventually clog an air filter or breather.

As private and public enterprises pursue renewable energy projects, wind harnessing has been touted as a strong force in the industry. Whether the massive turbines make an appearance on federal land, an inland farm to help prop up profits, an island former plantation, or the Outer Continental Shelf in the Atlantic Ocean, captured wind continues to grow as a clean source of energy.
The U.S. Army is leading the march for renewable energy with a goal of 25 percent clean power by 2025. The Army Corps of Engineers has set up the Energy Initiatives Task Force (EITF) as of September, 2011 to help meet the deadline.
"The military has recognized its overreliance on fossil fuels," said Jon Powers, Director of Outreach for EITF. "The significant strides toward renewable power are seen as operation-necessary, financially prudent, and mission-critical."
With the increasing cost per barrel of oil and the high rate of water and gas resupply to convoys in combat zones, it is in the Army, Department of Defense, and taxpayers' interest to invest in clean energy, said Powers.
In addition to the 168 current renewable projects, which include solar, wind, and geothermal, the Army has a Net Zero goal. This means that bases are to be designed with zero water and enegy waste. Currently, 17 pilot projects are set to go live by 2020.
Pew Charitable Trusts predicts that the Department of Defense will be spending more than $10 billion annually for clean energy projects. Currently, $7 billion is slated over the next ten years for various projects, including wind. The primary contract will be power purchase agreements, a now-common practice in the industry.
"It is the intent of the government only to purchase the energy that is produced, and not to acquire any generation assets. The contractors will finance, design, build, operate, own, and maintain the energy plants. The government will contract to purchase the power for up to 30 years in accordance with the terms and conditions stipulated in site or project specific agreements," a statement by the Army Corps of Engineers reported.
The government is supporting wind harvesting in other ways. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), in cooperation with the Department of Interior's "Smart from the Start" wind energy initiative, is taking steps to develop wind farms along the North Atlantic coast. An initiative by the Obama Administration has set a goal of 10 gigawatts of wind capacity for the Outer Continental Shelf. "Offshore Atlantic winds alone could produce an estimated 1,000 gigawatts of energy," said a BOEM spokesperson. "Offshore winds tend to flow at higher sustained speeds than onshore winds, making these turbines more efficient."
As with any project, there are unforeseen consequences to offshore wind harnessing. Fisheries can be affected as well as environmental concerns such as the critically endangered North Atlantic Right Whale. Additionally, vessel traffic and cultural shore resources in Rhode Island and Massachusetts are issues for stakeholders in those communities.
"BOEM collaborates with coastal states, tribes, industry leaders, non-governmental organizations, and intergovernmental task forces to coordinate offshore renewable energy development," said the BOEM spokesperson. "These task forces include federal and state agencies, local governments, and tribes to ensure that stakeholder concerns are addressed during initial planning stages, promoting responsible development with minimal impacts."
Islands also have the advantage of strong ocean winds, and First Wind, a US-based wind energy capacity, will soon open the largest wind facility in Hawaiir. The 69-megawatt Kawailoa Wind project will be built on the Kamehameha Schools' Kawiloa Plantation lands on Oahu's north shore. The site will feature 30 2.3 megawatt Siemens wind turbines, which will generate enough energy to power 14,500 homes or five percent of Oahu's annual demand.
The project is the result of a Hawaii Public Utilities Commission-approved power purchase agreement between First Wind and the Hawaiian Electric Company (HECO), which serves more than 400,000 customers. Hawaii state laws state that clean energy must provide for 70 percent of electric and surface transportation power by 2030 with 40 percent originating from local sources.
"We are pleased to begin construction on our fourth project in Hawaii, and the largest wind energy facility in the state," said Paul Gaynor, First Wind's CEO, at the groundbreaking event in February 2012. "When it comes to renewable energy, Hawaii has proven to be a national leader, innovator, and an excellent partner."
Discussions with residents and community organizations on the north shore began two years ago. First Wind developed a Habitat Conservation Plan that includes research funding and actions to protect and minimize incidental harm to federally listed species in the vicinity of the wind energy project.

Schools are offering students hands-on learning and the skills needed to make the transition from student to pro. Young, talented and trained people are a hot commodity these days, but competition is fierce; schools are recognizing that and incorporating that aspect into their coursework.
Training centers know that even working professionals can't sit on their laurels. As software changes, the need to learn that software and all it offers is imperative. Whether you are just starting a career or growing it, you should never stop learning.
Jonathan Fung
Associate Director
School of Motion Pictures & Television
Academy of Art University
San Francisco
The School of Motion Pictures & Television at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco offers accredited undergraduate and graduate degree programs that emphasize seven different areas of production for students to study and gain hands-on production experience to prepare them for the industry.
STRENGTHS: "A lot of emphasis is being put on education in motion pictures and television, visual effects, gaming, and art and design. These fields of studies have exploded because of the gained interest and career opportunities. Since the days of the apprenticeship are long gone, one has a choice to enter into the industry without experience and hope for the best, or attend art school and acquire the necessary skills, learn to collaborate, network, seek valuable internships and build a strong portfolio."
WEAKNESSES: "Sometimes in education, many of the same projects are assigned to students, which creates a similar look for their portfolio. It may not distinguish or develop their style, and the work can look the same when students show their reel or portfolio to potential clients. I think it's important for the institution to help guide the students to find their voice and personal style that creates a unique look so it does not become cookie cutter."
OPPORTUNITIES: "In art and design universities, the curriculums are very specific in helping the student reach their career goal. The curriculum is tailored around specific departments in the industry. For instance, in a program like ours, students declare an emphasis or track during their fourth semester. They start to learn how to become a producer, director, cinematographer, editor, screenwriter, production designer or actor. Many of classes in the last two years of the program are focused to create a competitive reel. Students establish skills that will allow them to become a specialist in the industry when they leave the university.
"From my experience, some of the state-funded universities or colleges don't have that luxury. Many of the students find that during the first two years they are taking liberal arts or theory-based classes and they do not receive hands-on experience until their fifth semester junior year. At the Academy of Art University, from the first semester students are getting production experience."
THREATS: "Depending on the curriculum, if the university has more of a liberal arts focus, then I don't believe the students will be prepared for career opportunities unless they acquire the skills on their own because the program may be very general. In the industry, everything is very specific and focused. You need a specific skill-set in order to get hired. They are looking for the best, and students that are professional and have strong business practices. The job opportunities are out there, but you have to pay your dues and be tenacious."
OUTLOOK FOR 2008: "The industry is unsettled and can go in many directions. I think the independent market is starting to thrive — short films. There are many venues right now for short films, especially online and in film festivals. Many of the advertisers are putting more of their dollars into Internet advertising instead of network television. Podcasting is very popular. There are many more alternatives and methods to screening, selling and distributing the work… getting it out there. There is definitely a group of visionaries and entrepreneurs out there who can really dictate the market.
"I don't think it's stable right now. The networks are trying to get a jump on this. Just like with reality TV when it started, people were skeptical, but look what happened with that. Everyone is jumping on it. We are going to see a new wave, and we are seeing some of it now, in film, media and the arts."

Florida Interactive Entertainment Academy (FIEA) is a graduate program in videogame development, instructed by industry veterans, focused on developing highly-skilled programmers, artists and producers for the growing interactive industry.
STRENGTHS: "The strength we have is demand. There is a growing desire for young people to work in creative industries and make their own products. It's always been there. Once we all started watching movies, and sports, we longed to work in entertainment, but 40, 30, 20 years ago that was reserved for Hollywood; the people who lived in Hollywood and the children of people who worked in Hollywood. In today's world, as far as games and movies, because it's done in a digital world now and the cost of the equipment and assets is not exorbitant like it used to be, we have a lot of students who would love to make games, movies and commercials, and now they can."
WEAKNESSES: "Usually education isn't on the forefront of leading trends. It reacts to trends, so we are in the reaction mode right now. One of the weaknesses is that digital media schools, film schools, computer science schools and game schools are just not mature enough and haven't done the things necessary in terms of programs to bring in technology and get up to speed quick enough to run with the industry.
"I think education will do that. We did that with MBA schools in the '80s and '90s. They started to do some real cutting edge stuff and caught up real quick, and we need to do the same thing in entertainment and digital media.
"You have to spend money on technology, and schools get set in their ways and everybody gets their own little budget, but they don't refocus their whole programs. That's one of the beauties of FIEA; we got to start from scratch and create a program and we had the funding to do it."
OPPORTUNITIES: "We have an opportunity to train the next generation of workforce to be higher wage creative workers. As mentioned before, one of the strengths is we have a pent up demand, and the opportunity is there are a lot of young people who don't wish to go work for General Motors. They aren't sure what they want to do, but they do know they would like to be their own thinker work on teams, create start-up companies and work in different environments.
"Globally, the opportunity is here. People are making great livings, working in great businesses and creating great friendships and products because they can multitask; they can work on projects around the world and do things in a lot of different ways than it used to be, where it was traditionally, go to school, and your lucky if you get hired and go into a training program at a bigger company, learn a lot there and maybe 10 or 15 years later go out and start your own thing."
THREATS: "The threat we have is just taking too long. We'll figure this out over time — it might take 100 years to figure out the right way to educate our students. Study after study is coming out saying that we are using 100-year-old systems to educate our young people. And we all recognize that. We don't have 100-year-old communication devices in our home, so the threat really is timing. The millennials are growing up, and they are driving us. They are the customer.
"Many say education can't change, things won't change…but they do change and you change because of the customer. The students today are screaming for stuff that's more interactive and less boring. When we were kids, school was boring but there weren't a lot of answers out there, now there are and now it's about how quickly can we move to them.
"The threat isn't really that the bureaucratic systems can't change and won't change over time, the threat is we don't do a good job of corralling that and moving it forward faster."
OUTLOOK FOR 2008: "You are still going to see a lot more casual gaming, people playing the Wii, and the broadening of the game market. All of this broadening just helps education, medical and military agencies broaden. You will see a lot more of those industries training people in simulations and interactive ways over the next decade.
"In the entertainment community, you will see more of what you are already seeing, more software and tools, such as the mass crowd generators and the blending of 2D and 3D, and better ways of telling a story — trying to tell a story with 2D and 3D animation or 3D art and using audio and sound for a more blended experience. We are finally getting to a point at which interactive and digital tools are maturing where creatives, other than just the tech gurus, can use them. The millennials are going to have fun."

Soho Editors
New York
Soho Editors, with offices in NY, London and Dublin, was founded in 2000 as a provider of freelance talent to the global post industry. They have since expanded to provide certified training for the industry.
STRENGTHS: "The industry's rapid shift into new platforms and applications is creating a high demand for professional training. Inexpensive, streamlined equipment is leading to more accessible, hands-on training. An experienced editor can learn and become certified in a new application in as little as three days. Manufacturer certifications offer a unique benchmark — they take the guesswork out of an editor or designer's true skill level.
"Ten years ago, training consisted of several trainees hovering around one system; now they all have their own workstation. As new editing platforms become more prevalent, trainees can now practice their skills at home rather than in an on-site edit facility."
WEAKNESSES: "Methods of training can vary widely — from DVDs to books to one-on-one classroom training. Not to say there is a right or wrong way for teaching an application, but many people have different ways of learning and require different time frames. One editor may learn a new application in three days, whereas it may take another six weeks. The key is finding the correct balance — it can be difficult for someone to figure out which method [or combination of methods] works best for them. Also, there is a difference in teaching someone how to use an application and a craft."
OPPORTUNITIES: "Increased accessibility to equipment will lead to a larger pool of aspiring editors who will seek out professional training. As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, software and tools will become even more intuitive. We have never seen more applications on the market that do virtually the same thing as we do now.
"Industry leaders, such as HBO, are upgrading their editing applications and require training for their entire department. It is a very exciting time right now, as we don't see the need for training declining — it continues to increase, prompting more people to be trained. These days [we're seeing] more applications on the market than ever. We have five or six editing applications that people need to be trained for, so that increases our business ten-fold."
THREATS: "How simple can an application become? Applications are now being developed for the consumer rather than the skilled professional. As a result, everyone thinks they are an editor and that they do not need training. Also, consumer generated content — led by YouTube — is on the rise. Are users drawn more toward low-budget, five-viral videos cut on iMovie than longform, highly polished documentaries finished with Flame? It remains to be seen."
OUTLOOK 2008: "Technology never stops changing, and the drive for knowledge of applications is ever increasing. Gone are the days when an editor could get away with just knowing one application. For example,Final Cut Studio 2 is distributed and packaged with five applications, all of which are powerful in their own right. Clients are now expecting editors to be fluent not just in Final Cut, but also the programs bundled with it. The future looks bright."
Randy Paskal
Managing Director
Hollywood/New York
Moviola offers one-on-one, individualized fillmmaking training for directors, writers, producers, actors, cinematographers, and/or anyone making a career change.
STRENGTHS: "The obvious strength that we see is that, especially in the post production business, technology continues to change and with those software changes, whether they be with Avid, Adobe or Apple products, professionals need to be updated about the new features and the complexities that exist with those products.
"At Moviola, one of our strengths is that our training is taught by professionals for professionals. We are looking at people who are already experts working in the industry — in order for them to maintain their high level of skills and, hopefully, be paid for that expertise, the more they need to understand how the products work and what they can actually use out of those products. So they will continue to need that specialized type of training.
"Another strength is the introduction of the variety of different high def formats that currently exist and that are promised in the near future. There is a need to understand the way people are going to utilize the different formats and bring them in to post. The workflow is different for almost every product that is being introduced on the acquisition side, so when it comes to post there is really going to be a greater need for this training. Especially with the P2 and Sony technologies, as well as Red and the other products that are coming out — the question is how to bring those high def acquisitions into post."
WEAKNESSES: "Training is an expensive proposition, and making people see the the value of training is sometimes a challenge. Yet as products change it's obvious that you can't use the product as it currently exists, and there is a need for that learning process to occur.
"Another weakness is marketing. We need to get people to understand that if they continue to keep their skills at a very high level, they can provide a better product to their clients.
"With the current writers' strike and the other looming strikes, a lot of people see it as an opportunity to use this time to do training, but then there are some who have to think about pulling in the reins and doing very little outside spending."
OPPORTUNITIES: "More people continue to turn to professional types of media solutions and incorporate those into their products, not just on the post side with feature films, TV shows and commercials, but also in the financial sector, corporate presentations and other areas where more video will be required. It's a good opportunity for us to go after those types of clients.
"Another opportunity is that once people realize how dynamic it is and how many products are involved, they'll see that it's worth spending a few extra dollars on that investment to train themselves better."
THREATS: "The only potential threat is people not valuing classroom training or one-on-one type training. There are people who feel as though they can do a lot of training online and we are always competing against that format. However, we really do think the hands-on approach and working in a collaborative environment certainly is the best way to learn and share ideas with other students."
OUTLOOK 2008: "We view the market for training as a growing market, and that people need to stay up to date with the new software releases. There will certainly be a need for people to learn, and with the continued migration into high definition and figuring out the workflows into post production, there should be a fair amount of opportunity for us to grow our training services, do seminars, and create some special courseware that addresses those unique issues.
"As for the industry in general, I just don't think we are going to see a lot of change in either direction, unless the strike affects us."

Industry leaders have partnered with Authentic Brands Group to launch the first-ever Marilyn Monroe Cafe flagship location next to Millionaires' Row along Toronto's affluent lakefront suburb of Oakville.
Marilyn Monroe Cafe celebrated its grand opening during the November 9-11 weekend and has quickly become a staple in the heart of downtown Oakville.
Furnishing by prestigious designers like Philippe Starck with Dedon, Eero Saarinen with Knoll, Diesel with Foscarin, and Tom Dixon inspires the interpretation of the clean aethetic and sensual lines of the mid-century modern era. A luxurious choice of materials, modern furniture, and subtle architectural detail culminate in an inviting space for all guests, whether on the go or casually snacking and sipping premium espressos.
Captivating international audiences with her charming personality and graceful cinematic performances, Marilyn Monroe's timeless beauty and charisma are the inspiration behind the Marilyn Monroe Cafe.
The cafe is designed by Mason Studio to be a place Marilyn would be comfortable in, featuring a relaxed but elevated design experience with lush menu options.
The Marilyn Monroe Cafe drink menu features smoothies ranging from flavors like Mango Tango to Mint Chocolate Chip, and luscious hot drinks like Red Velvet and Creme Brule Lattes made with the Adonis T3 espresso machine.
Breakfast goers can pair lattes with hearty, organic, wholesome oatmeal; New York-style bagels, and French flaked croissants.
Those with something sweeter in mind have a wider number of selections from the dessert menu, like gourmet cupcakes and artisan cheesecakes.
Marilyn Monroe Cafe guests can use a sleek new mobile app called "MM Cafe" to order ahead of time and skip the line. The app is available on Apple iTunes, where it can be downloaded for free.
In addition, cafe guests' experiences will be further enhanced by stunning JBL Audio, featuring 22 speakers of complete clarity. Music programming is selected digitally by the vibe of the songs' algorithms. The sound system automatically sets the volume level, based upon activity in the cafe.
The cafe features Marilyn Monroe photographer Milton Greene's exclusive photographs of the world's most legendary blonde bombshell. The photos featured in the cafe are from Marilyn's Ballerina Series, Red Sweater Series, Tennis Sweater Series, and more.
A wide array of merchandise will also be available at the Marilyn Monroe Cafe, including totes, laptop sleeves, and iPhone cases.

- Anti-aging products tend to dominate beauty sales in most countries globally, but significant sales of beauty-from-within products remain concentrated in just a few markets.
- In Japan, Beauty supplements accounted for 17% of dietary supplement sales in 2006, and this figure rose to 18% by 2009.
- Despite clear evidence that Western consumers are willing to pay a premium for skin care, consumers in North America and Western Europe, on the whole, do not seem to be buying into the concept of beauty-from-within.
- Baby boomers hold the key to the future of nutraceuticals.
The recession and its aftermath, according to Euromonitor International, did nothing to dampen the global desire to remain young-looking. On the contrary, in fact, anti-agers was one of the few categories within beauty to remain relatively unscathed. However, while anti-agers tend to dominate beauty sales in most countries globally, sales of beauty-from-within products remain concentrated in just a few markets.
In Japan, Nutraceuticals Go from Strength to Strength
Unlike Japan's ailing beauty industry, which is set to see declines in many areas through 2014, its beauty supplement industry is thriving. Beauty supplements accounted for 17% of dietary supplement sales in 2006, and this figure rose to 18% by 2009. Furthermore, many ingredient trends and product innovations originate in Japan. The trend for adding collagen to everyday foods and drinks, such as Nescafé with Collagen from Nestlé, has caught on in other Asian countries, with products such as Vitagen Collagen drink from Vitagen hitting the market in Malaysia recently.
Japanese Consumers Prefer Supplements Over Other Formats Despite the popularity of fortified beauty foods and drinks in Japan, many consumers still consider beauty supplements to be more effective. The main reason for this is that many fortified products contain only a small amount of beauty-enhancing nutrients compared with the concentrated format seen in dietary supplements. Ultimately, beauty foods and drinks are not expected to replace beauty dietary supplements, nor are they marketed as substitutes for them.
Remaining Market Primarily Concentrated in Asia
Japan remains, by far, the largest market globally for dietary supplements with a beauty positioning. With sales of $1.2 billion in 2009, the country accounted for 43% of global beauty supplement sales, followed by China with sales of $724 million—a figure that looks set to rise dramatically as Chinese consumers become more affluent. The concept of beauty-from-within also sits well with traditional Chinese medicine, as traditional herbal dietary supplements such as E Jiao, Lingzhi and Aweto are popularly recognized by consumers in rural areas as traditional Chinese products that benefit overall well-being.
However, sales in many countries are negligible. Most consumers in the key affluent Western countries responsible for the lion's share of beauty sales appear to remain unconvinced.
Western Demand for Anti-aging Doesn't Translate to Nutraceutical Boom
While global skin care value growth slowed to 3% in 2009, down from 5% in 2008, anti-agers remained the star performer, expanding by 7%—or only two percentage points less than in 2008. This adds substance to the belief that most consumers globally will sacrifice other consumer goods before putting off attempts to hold on to a youthful appearance.
The desire to stay young-looking was also evident in other industries, as shown by figures from the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. According to its data, the number of face-lifts in the U.S. rose from 20,478 in 2008 to 34,455 in 2009—a 44% increase despite the recession. A similar story was seen in the U.K. Data issued by The British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (BAAPS) shows that the number of cosmetic surgery procedures undertaken rose by just under 7% in 2009.
However, despite clear evidence that consumers are willing to pay a premium for their looks, and skin in particular, consumers in North America and Western Europe, on the whole, do not seem to be buying into the concept of beauty-from-within.
Differing Results for Beauty-from-Within Brands
The fortunes of various beauty-from-within products were mixed, but, on the whole, there was growth for some of the key skin care nutraceutical brands in major markets such as the U.K., where the Imedeen brand saw sales of its combination dietary supplements rise in 2009. Heavy advertising of the brand was a key factor behind its success in the market, as it helped familiarize consumers with the concept of skin care from within.
On the other hand, there were numerous high-profile cases of nutraceutical and nutricosmetic products being withdrawn or running into regulatory difficulties. Avon withdrew from the skin nutraceutical segment in 2010 following ailing and stagnant sales in a number of markets. Even in Japan, where skin care from within is accepted by many consumers, Avon's product did not perform as well as expected.
The lycopene-containing supplement Innéov Fermeté, a joint collaboration between food giant Nestlé and global personal care player L'Oréal was one of the major launches of 2010. Lycopene was initially marketed on the basis of its cancer-fighting properties.
However, it was soon promoted as a beauty/skin health enhancer. Innéov Fermeté is designed to be taken daily, and reportedly slows the effects of skin aging. It is currently being sold in parts of Europe and Latin America. Even with the might of Nestlé's research and development budget, however, Fermeté suffered a setback when it fell foul of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in May 2010, and the company was forced to withdraw the product claim relating to the improvement of dry skin.
Baby Boomers Key to Future Growth
The industry has attempted to broaden the appeal of nutraceuticals to different consumer groups such as men, with launches such as Viviscal and Viviscal for Men (supplements designed to prevent hair thinning). However, arguably, baby boomers still hold the key to the future of nutraceuticals. Baby boomers do not just expect to live longer, they also expect to look as good as they feel.
This incredibly influential group (78 million-strong in the U.S. and spending more than $2 trillion each year) has set in motion some of the key shifts being experienced today—including the health and wellness revolution, the social responsibility movement and the growth of segments and industries such as anti-aging skin care and cosmetic procedures. It is for this reason that the nutraceutical industry needs to focus on convincing this growing segment in the West if it is to grow beyond its current niche status globally.

Central Minnesota
The 13-county Central Minnesota planning region had a population of 693,108 in 2014, almost 13% of the state's population. With a larger population, yet a similar volume of jobs posted compared to other Greater Minnesota regions, the number of people in the labor force per job opening (potential candidates indicated below) is very high. This is the result of the region's highly mobile labor force, with over 40% of the region's working residents commuting outside of the region to get to their place of work according to one DEED analysis of the commute shed. Central Minnesota is a net exporter of labor with only 198,956 workers both residing and working in the region in 2013 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
According to DEED's Occupational Employment Statistics, about 16% of all jobs held in Central Minnesota are in production manufacturing, whereas production comprises only 11% of all jobs statewide. Healthcare and social assistance jobs are expected to increase in demand by over 28% through 2022, while production manufacturing is expected to increase by only 3%. In 2014, DEED identified ten industry sub-sectors that define the region by having significantly higher concentrations of jobs and firms than seen statewide. Overall, Central Minnesota has 9.7% of the state's total employment, but is home to 25% of the state's employment in animal production, furniture, and related product manufacturing. The projected slowed growth of manufacturing and production in the region is of particular concern for the local communities that rely on these economic niches, which are extremely diverse across the eastern and western subregions of Central Minnesota.
Transportation services are in high demand in Central Minnesota, accounting for 17% of all jobs advertised online to date in 2016. Healthcare positions are the second most sought, with 14% of all postings pertaining to this sector. When health support occupations are included (3.2% pf the postings), the total healthcare function positions lead as the most-sought positions in the region. These types of jobs are typically advertised online whenever openings are available, and counts are a relatively strong representation of regional labor needs. However, a number of critical industries continue to post job openings in very low volumes and may under count actual need. Some of these industries include forestry and logging, paper manufacturing, electric power generation and transmission, and mining. Highly unionized industries and temporary or seasonal positions are also not advertised online in large volumes, and other data sources might capture the true number of vacancies better.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security extended the REAL ID deadline to May 7, 2025; to learn more about REAL ID requirements and use, visit: https://www.dhs.gov/real-id. To make your Wisconsin Driver's License a REAL ID, the Department of Transportation requires certified copies of birth certificates and, if needed, marriage certificates. Any Wisconsin Register of Deeds office can issue birth and marriage certificates for events that occurred in Wisconsin. You can also receive these via mail by ordering online at https://www.vitalchek.com/order_main.aspx.
Walworth County Register of Deeds accepts in-person requests from 8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., we ask that you arrive by 4:45 p.m. so you have time to complete the required vital record application. At least one form of valid identification containing your current name and address is required to be presented at the time of application. In person requests are typically issued within 15-20 minutes.
The Register of Deeds office is charged with the duty of being an independent custodian of records relating to real estate. As such, the only area in which we can offer assistance is with general processing questions. We cannot assist you with the actual drafting of documents. We highly recommend that you obtain legal counsel for these transactions.
Although several legal documents have been developed into fill-in-the-blank style forms and appear to be very easily completed, it is the answers to those fill-in-the-blank questions that are critically important. The appropriate answers can vary widely from person to person. Determining the correct answer for your situation constitutes legal advice. We are not licensed to practice real estate law. Furthermore, our role as custodian of the records prohibits us from assisting in the creation of the records.
The legal description of your property appears on your deed. While this seems simple enough, it can be complicated by two factors. If your property consists of a number of small parcels that have been combined over time, a simple concise legal description may not exist. The opposite can also be a problem. Your property may previously have been a large parcel from which smaller parcels were sold off.
In both of these cases, several documents and some interpretation may be required to construct a legal description. If the history of your parcel fits into either of the above categories, you should contact a registered land surveyor for professional assistance in writing an accurate, up-to-date legal description.
While Federal Income Tax Liens are recorded in the Register of Deeds office, we have no jurisdiction over the lien itself or any release documentation once the lien is satisfied. We cannot record a Release unless one is presented to us for recording. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) changed their procedures several years ago and now consider their liens to be "self-releasing" after a certain number of years. As a result, they do not record Release of Lien documents as they did in the past.
It is our observation that credit-reporting agencies generally do not read documents. They only look at the index and may be unaware of the self-releasing feature. However, if you contact the IRS, their staff may prepare a Certificate of Release that you can record which should clear your credit report. Contact the manager in charge of preparation of federal tax liens at 800-913-6050.
If you glance at your deed, you will notice that your name appears as "grantee", but the bank is never mentioned. That means that when you pay your mortgage in full it is not necessary to update your deed.
What does need to be done is to have a Satisfaction of Mortgage document recorded with the Register of Deeds office. Financial institutions are required to record such a document within a specified timeframe. If you receive a Satisfaction of Mortgage endorsed by a Register of Deeds with a time, date and document number, nothing further needs to be done. If you have not received the endorsed satisfaction, you should check with your lender to be certain they processed the appropriate paperwork.
If you are borrowing money from a financial institution in order to purchase the real estate, a title search will be ordered by that financial institution well in advance of the closing. This search will reveal any outstanding liens. If no financial institution is involved, then you will want to contract directly with a title company for a complete title search.
Strictly speaking, the answer is "yes". Practically speaking, however, the answer is probably "no".
The records in the Register of Deeds office are open for public inspection. However, unless you are familiar with how real estate records are organized and the procedures to perform a Grantor/Grantee and a Tract Index search, it is recommended to hire a title company to perform the search. Additionally, there may be documents on file with other county offices that may impact the property in which you are interested.
No. The Register of Deeds office is not authorized to render opinions regarding the status of title. Professional title examiners use the records in our office as well as searching records in other county offices to determine if the title is free and clear of encumbrances.
This question is more complex than it first appears. In its simplest form, you are not required to take any action. When you sell your property, you can simply indicate on the deed your former and current names such as: "Mary Smith now known as (n/k/a) Mary Jones."
However, there are many other details that might impact the answer to this question, the most important being Wisconsin's Marital Property law. This law assumes that property used by a couple during the course of a marriage is jointly owned unless specified otherwise. If you wish to remain the sole owner of the property and do not intend to convey any interest in the property to your spouse, steps must be taken prior to and during your marriage to assure that this occurs. If, however, you intend for your spouse to share in the ownership of the property, there are a number of ways a married couple can hold title, each having distinct legal implications.
As you can see, it is best to seek the help of an attorney to draft a deed that will accomplish your goals.
According to a member of the Probate and Real Property Section of the Wisconsin State Bar Association, the answer is "no." The trust remains in effect. However, it is prudent to review the trust with your attorney periodically to determine if modifications to the trust would be advisable.
The owner of the property as of January 1st of the real estate taxing year will receive a tax bill on the entire parcel of land (including the portion you just purchased). You will not receive a tax bill for the portion you purchased until the following year. Taxes should be prorated at your closing to distribute the taxes between owners for the current tax year. Pursuant to s.70.10 of Wisconsin Statutes: "The assessor shall assess all real and personal property as of the close of January 1 of each year." This means that a split that occurs during the year will not have an assessed value assigned to it until January 1st of the following year.
