Rav Ashi
Quick Facts
For the seventh generation Amora sage of Babylon, see Mar b. Rav Ashi (his son).
Rav Ashi (Hebrew: רב אשי) ("Rabbi Ashi") (352–427) was a Babylonian Amoraic Talmid Chacham, who reestablished the Academy at Sura and was first editor of the Babylonian Talmud. According to a tradition preserved in the academies, Rav Ashi was born in the same year that Rava, the great teacher of Mahuza, died, and he was the first teacher of any importance in the Talmudic Academies in Babylonia after Raba's death. Simai, Ashi's father, was a rich and learned man, a student of the college of Naresh near Sura, which was directed by Rav Papa, Raba's disciple. Ashi's teacher was Rav Kahana, a member of the same college, who later became president of the academy at Pumbedita.
Compilation of the Gemara
While still young, Rav Ashi became the head of the Sura Academy, his great learning being acknowledged by the older teachers. It had been closed since Rav Chisda's death (309), but under Rav Ashi it regained all its old importance. His commanding personality, his scholarly standing, and wealth are sufficiently indicated by the saying, then current, that since the days of Rabbi Judah haNasi, "learning and social distinction were never so united in one person as in Ashi." Indeed, Rav Ashi was the man destined to undertake a task similar to that which fell to the lot of Judah I. The latter compiled and edited the Mishnah; Rav Ashi made it the labor of his life to collect after critical scrutiny, under the name of Gemara, those explanations of the Mishnah that had been handed down in the Babylonian academies since the days of Rab, together with all the discussions connected with them, and all the halakhic and haggadic material treated in the schools.
Conjointly with his disciples and the scholars who gathered in Sura for the "Kallah", or semi-annual college conference, he completed this task. The kindly attitude of King Yazdegerd I, as well as the devoted and respectful recognition of his authority by the academies of Nehardea and Pumbedita, greatly favored the undertaking. A particularly important element in Ashi's success was the length of his tenure of office as head of Sura Academy, which must have lasted 52 years, but with tradition, probably for the sake of round numbers, was exaggerated into 60. According to the same tradition, these 60 years are said to have been so symmetrically apportioned that each treatise required six months for the study of its Mishnah and the redaction of the traditional expositions of the same (Gemara), thus aggregating 30 years for the 60 treatises. The same process was then repeated for thirty years more, at the end of which period the work was considered complete.
Rav Ashi actually revised the work twice—a fact that is mentioned in the Talmud. Beyond this, the Talmud itself contains not the slightest intimation of the activity which Ashi and his school exercised in this field for more than half a century. Even whether this editorial work was written down, and thus, whether the putting of the Babylonian Talmud into writing took place under Rav Ashi or not, cannot be answered from any statement in the Talmud. It is nevertheless probable that the fixation of the text of so comprehensive a literary work could not have been accomplished without the aid of writing.
The work begun by Rav Ashi was continued in the two succeeding generations and completed by Ravina II, another president of the college at Sura, who died in 499. To the work as the last-named left it, only slight additions were made by the Saboraim. To one of these additions—that to an ancient utterance concerning the "Book of Adam, the First Man,"—this statement is appended: "Ashi and Ravina are the last representatives of independent decision (hora'ah)", an evident reference to the work of these two in editing the Babylonian Talmud, which as an object of study and a fountainhead of practical "decision" was to have the same importance for the coming generations as the Mishnah had had for the Amoraim.
Elevation of Sura
Rav Ashi not only elevated Sura until it became the intellectual center of the Babylonian Jews, but contributed to its material grandeur also. He rebuilt Rav's academy and the synagogue connected with it, sparing no expense and personally superintending their reconstruction. As a direct result of Rav Ashi's renown, the Exilarch came annually to Sura in the month after the New Year to receive the respects of the assembled representatives of the Babylonian academies and congregations. To such a degree of splendor did these festivities and other conventions in Sura attain that Rav Ashi expressed his surprise that some of the Gentile residents of Sura were not tempted to accept Judaism.
Sura maintained the prominence conferred on it by Rav Ashi for several centuries, and only during the last two centuries of the Gaonic period did Pumbedita again become its rival. Rav Ashi's son Tabyomi, always spoken of as "Mar (Master), the son of Rab Ashi," was a recognized scholar, but it was not until 455, 28 years after his father's death, that he was invested with the position that his father had so successfully filled for more than half a century.
Tomb of Rav Ashi
According to traditional Jewish belief, the tomb of Rav Ashi is situated on a hill overlooking Kibbutz Manara, Israel. Muslims claim that it is the tomb of a Shi'ite Muslim, Sheikh Abbad, considered a founder of the Shi'ite movement in Lebanon who lived around 500 years ago.
When Israel withdrew from South Lebanon in May 2000, the main obstacle holding up the deployment of United Nations peacekeepers along the border was the allocation of this disputed site. It was among the last to be settled between the State of Israel and Lebanon. One option was to erect a barricade around the tomb to prevent Muslims and Jews from visiting the site. Subsequent to the Blue Line drawn by the United Nations, the border fence cuts through the middle of the disputed tomb.

Expansion Joint Burst Testing to Determine Ultimate Pressure Resistance
This week's featured article is on expansion joint burst testing. The objective of a burst test is to determine the ultimate pressure resistance that a bellows can absorb prior to failure. Burst tests help determine the margin of safety and safety factor to be used in a specialized bellows design. During a burst test, hydrostatic pressure is slowly increased until failure occurs, which usually happens in one to two hours. Burst testing is conducted at ambient temperatures to determine a bellows pressure rating. We follow all the necessary safety precautions for personnel involved, such as placing the bellows in a high strength steel cage and using a safety shut-off switch. Based on the burst test results, a safety factor is applied, thus establishing the ultimate pressure rating.

Consultation for two form entry
Due to the exceptional demand for primary school places in Banbury in 2012, Queensway agreed to admit an extra class of Foundation Stage pupils. Another 'bulge' class is expected in September 2013. Oxfordshire County Council, supported by our Headteacher and Governing Body, wish to increase our pupil admission number from 30 to 60 from September 2014. If, following the statutory consultation process, it is decided to permanently change the admission number to 60, there will be a need for extra classroom spaces to ensure sufficient accommodation for the extra pupils is available. The county council will undertake a feasibility study in partnership with the Headteacher and governors, to look carefully at the school site and buildings to see how additional classrooms and other accommodation might be provided.
You can respond in several ways to this consultation:
- Collect the Consultation proposal document from school and return the Response Form at the back of the document and send by FREEPOST to Oxfordshire County Council.
- Respond online at http://myconsultatoins.oxfordshire.gov.uk
- Email your response to email@example.com
The deadline for responses is 27th May 2013.

Comprehensive Analytics, Inc. was established in March of 2005 as a result of the insurance industry's reluctance to properly educate with regard to insurance products, their style functionality, and the process needed to provide unbiased, fully disclosed information so that the consumer can make the best informed choice.
* Illustrations and proposals omit vital cost and contract information
* Non-Disclosure: Too often, the discussion regarding life insurance is focused on "product", without presenting an understanding of all associated elements of the risk that may be inherent in that "product's" design
* We found that 87% of in-force policies that we have analyzed were problematic
*Our "Life 180" process is built on the Best Practice Standards for Life Insurance Stewards introduced at a West Point Academy Leadership conference in 2013.
* Our Life Analyzer is a proprietary software system that can reverse engineer and "scrub" policy illustrations, allowing for a transparent analysis of cost and capital efficiencies.
*Our proposals are educational, unbiased, transparent, and supported with documentation
Thank you for your consideration......

Forget Liverpool v Everton, the Vardy derby is the potential cup tie everyone's talking about
The magic of the FA Cup might seem a bit of a cliche, but the possibility of Jamie Vardy returning to former club Fleetwood Town in the third round does nothing to undermine the wizardry of the tournament.
After the Cod Army were held 1-1 by non-league Hereford FC in the second round, the third-round draw paired 2015/16 Premier League champions Leicester with the winner of the replay.
And while Fleetwood must travel to Hereford for that rematch, the League One side remain the favourites to progress against their seventh-tier opponents.
🙌 | So... if we win our #EmiratesFACup replay with @HerefordFC, a certain @vardy7 will return to Highbury... 😬 pic.twitter.com/N6Lva8vSPT— Fleetwood Town FC (@ftfc) December 4, 2017
That's an exciting prospect for fans of Fleetwood, Leicester and Vardy himself – the now-England striker spent the 2011/12 season at Fleetwood, scoring 31 times to become the National League's top scorer and help the Cod Army win promotion back to the Football League.
An away trip to either Fleetwood Town or Hereford FC beckons for the Foxes in the third round of the FA Cup.— Blue Army TV 🦊 (@bluearmy) December 4, 2017
Surely we'd like to see @vardy7 come up against his former club? #lcfc #FACup
Jamie Vardy could be set for a return to Fleetwood Town.#LCFC face a trip to either Fleetwood or Hereford in the FA Cup third round.— James Sharpe (@TheSharpeEnd) December 4, 2017
(PS. Good draw, that.)
Fleetwood then sold Vardy to Leicester in the summer of 2012 – he now has six England goals and a Premier League winners' medal to his name.
Fleetwood or Hereford v Leicester! Hope it's Fleetwood for @vardy7 !!! And a weekend in Blackpool !!— 100% LCFC (@100Lcfc) December 4, 2017
If it's Fleetwood v Leicester then Jamie Vardy will be returning to Highbury what a story that will be.— Richard Scott (@richscottmedia) December 4, 2017
Hopefully it's Fleetwood away, Vardy going back to his old club!— Daryn (@Daryn_Forster) December 4, 2017
However, while the potential for a Vardy derby is no doubt romantic, Hereford have a huge part to play before that game can be written into the diary.

The Gentleman's Guide to Casual Fridays
Posted on 22 August 2018
After the long working week, everybody is waiting for Friday. Friday means the weekend is coming and that is already a reason to celebrate. Fridays mean less stress and nervousness while you get ready for the weekend. But, as a real gentleman, it is your duty to be well dressed every day.
There is a difference between the style of an ordinary man and a gentleman. A gentleman remains classy and never compromises style. But, that doesn't mean he has to be stuck in a suit and tie.
Fridays are a free pass to wear something more relaxed. But don't be so quick to wear your favorite jeans and t-shirt. There is actually a certain "gentleman dress code" for dress-down fridays that we are about to explain to you. We call it: The Gentleman's Guide to Casual Fridays. You will look professional, stylish and youthful at the same time. Just follow the advice we are about to give you.
As we mentioned above, the usual gentleman outfit implies a tailored suit, elegant tie, pocket square, and some classy shoes. This can sound a little uptight, right? Being a gentleman doesn't have to mean looking dead serious all the time. Contrary, you can be one with a casual style that also leaves a good impression. On top of that, comfort should always be on your list of priorities.
What should you avoid?
Blue jeans are not recommended if you want to achieve a gentleman style in a professional setting. You should also avoid sports apparel. So, no trainers, sneakers, sweat suits, shorts, and similar pieces.
Now the question is, what SHOULD you wear?
Here are our picks for casual friday outfits:
As you can see, a good blazer or sport coat is definitely something you need. Tweed or wool is recommended for the winter and autumn style. For the warmer seasons, a linen blazer is a must!
When we talk about the pants, chinos are a perfect pick. They got their name after the country they were made in, and that's China. This is a version for casual and classy variants. Chinos have a narrow cut and are straight with the leg. In other words, they belong to the "skinny" section. They are more likely to be worn in the summer and autumn period. This is because they are made of cotton and are very pleasant to wear.
It's always better to pick a dress shirt rather than a plain shirt if you're a gentleman. This type of shirt can look both relaxed and professional and you can have some fun with some nice prints. For example:
Shoes are equally as important as the rest of the outfit. So, as we mentioned above, lace-ups are more formal. Wear them for the rest of the working week. For Friday, pick loafers or some brown wing-tips. We like a nice pair of penny loafers. A good pair of shoes can do miracles. Research has been conducted about shoes, and they are on the top 7 list of things women notice about a man ;)
On Casual Friday, ties can be omitted. Yaaaay! Right? Yup, take a rest from the tie till Monday. The mentioned button-up or even a turtleneck will solve the no-tie problem. However, since you are dressing down with no tie, adding a pocket square to the outfit will refine your style.
Extra tip: Never wear clothes that are too tight or revealing. A gentleman is both comfortable and stylish.
Last words
As you can see, a gentleman takes his style seriously. Even on casual fridays he makes sure he stays professional and dapper. What is your go-to business casual outfit?

July 2010 DB Upgrade
This upgrade work is complete. The planned downtime has ended. Servers were brought back on the Saturday 3rd as planned.
Original information (old)
The Sysadmin team are upgrading the Database Server's RAID storage on the 2nd and 3rd of July. The API will be unavailable for live editing for the duration of the upgrade.
- 1st July 21:00 (GMT) - API + www goes readonly.
- 2nd July 13:00 (GMT) - API + www offline.
- 3rd July Afternoon (GMT+0) - API + www return.
Initial Maintenance Announcement
API? www? What does this mean?
During the downtime you will not be able to use OpenStreetMap editors to make changes to the map data (They use the API). Initially it will be read-only. During that time you'll be able to download areas of data, but not make changes to the data. On 2nd & 3rd July while the main work is carried out, you will not be able to download data either.
The only way you might work on the map would be to use JOSM or Merkaartor and download some data to edit offline. If you are doing this, you may need to take care with conflict resolution when saving your changes after the API comes back online.
The OpenStreetMap website will also be affected. The plan is to keep the front page map display at http://openstreetmap.org looking similar to normal. The Export tab will also work, but other areas of the site will be affected. You will not be able to login and view/upload GPS traces. Things like user diaries, user edits view, changesets and element browsing screens, will all be affected. All of these will be read-only initially (no new diary entries or comments for example), and deactivated with a holding page during the main work on 2nd & 3rd July.
External services using the API will likely be affected by the API downtime. This may (or may not) include things like tiles@home and XAPI.
The tile server will continue to serve tiles to all other applications and websites during the work (Both mapnik and osmarender layers) and so maps will continue to display on other websites such as http://www.informationfreeway.org/ (No planned downtime, but note that we do not guarantee availability of the tile server even in normal circumstances. See Tile usage policy)
We have a development test server at api06.dev.openstreetmap.org which has some test map data in some areas. For example you can do Map requests such as http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=-1.539,51.847,-1.421,51.903 This is not real map data, but the API may be useful to develop against while the real API is offline. Anyone developing those kinds of applications/services should be aware of our API usage policy.
Also unaffected:

Sonata for Two Pianos in D major (Mozart)
|Sonata for Two Pianos
|by W. A. Mozart
Beginning of the sonata
|D major
|Classical period
|Three (Allegro con spirito, Andante, Molto allegro)
The Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K. 448, is a work composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1781, when he was 25. It is written in sonata-allegro form, with three movements. The sonata was composed for a performance he would give with fellow pianist Josepha Auernhammer.[1] Mozart composed this in the galant style, with interlocking melodies and simultaneous cadences. This is one of his few compositions written for two pianos. This sonata was also used in the scientific study that tested the theory of the Mozart effect, suggesting that classical music increases brain activity more positively than other kinds of music.[2][3]
The sonata is written in three movements,
- Allegro con spirito
- Andante in G major
- Molto allegro.
Allegro con spirito[edit]
The first movement begins in D major, and sets the tonal center with a strong introduction. The two pianos divide the main melody for the exposition, and when the theme is presented both play it simultaneously. Mozart spends little time in the development introducing a new theme unlike most sonata forms, and begins the recapitulation, repeating the first theme.
The second movement is written in ABA form.
Molto allegro[edit]
Molto allegro begins with a galloping theme. The cadences used in this movement are similar to those in Mozart's Rondo alla Turca.
Mozart effect[edit]
According to the British Epilepsy Organization, research has suggested that Mozart's K 448 can have the "Mozart effect", in that listening to the piano sonata improved spatial reasoning skills and reduced the number of seizures in people with epilepsy. Apart from the Mozart Concerto K 488, only one other piece of music has been found to have a similar effect, a song by the Greek composer Yanni, entitled "Acroyali/Standing In Motion", which is featured on his album Yanni Live at the Acropolis.[3] It was determined to have the "Mozart effect", by the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine because it was similar to Mozart's K 448 in tempo, structure, melodic and harmonic consonance and predictability.[2][3]

Cheap Local, Sustainable, and Organic Food: Is It Out There?
This past week the New York Times had an interesting interview with a local Ohio grocer who offered his tips on buying high-quality food on the cheap. His tips tended toward the obvious, the silly, and the self-serving: Buying prewashed and premade food because we'll waste less doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.
But in these days of shrinking buying power, rapidly rising food prices, and economic insecurity, which we've all felt in one way or another, it does make sense for all of us to think about saving money while eating right and doing right.
I write this knowing full well that absolute costs of food are pretty difficult to figure out, but we've got to at least try, don't we?
So what should a person with a food conscience do who wants to eat right and do right by the earth and the farmers and still save money? Serious eaters want to know. Here are some ideas that might make some sense.
10 Ways to Live Locally and Sustainably on a Budget
1. I'm all for supporting local artisanal cheesemakers, but lately I've been buying machine-made Montrachet goat cheese to use in salads and sandwiches. It's less than half the price of my local cheesemakers' admittedly superior chèvre, and it tastes pretty goaty, but it will do you just fine.
2. If organic is important to you, buy those items where they're cheapest, at places like Wal-Mart and Trader Joe's. It may not be as good as your local organic market, but it will do just fine.
3. Buy local at the peak of the season. Local strawberries in the New York area are incredibly plentiful at the moment, and that means they are cheap, cheap, cheap, right now. The same is true for apples in September and early October, at least in my neck of the woods.
4. Use eggs as the protein at dinner. The Oeufs Meurette recipe from yesterday's Sunday Brunch would make a great dinner, and it won't cost you a fortune. Just make sure you use a really cheap red wine.
5. Buy at your local farmers' market at the end of the day. Farmers at farmers' markets really don't want to schlep their produce back to the farm after a long day in the city. I have found that many of them offer great prices after 4 p.m. to encourage budget-minded consumers to take stuff off their hands.
6. Find the "Value Guru" at your local Whole Foods and make him or her your new best friend. Until I read the Times piece, I didn't know such a person existed at Whole Foods.
7. Support your local sausage-maker. In New York, at least, I can buy amazing Chinese and Thai sausage in Chinatown, Polish sausage in Greenpoint, and Italian sausage in many neighborhoods at low, low costs.
8. Shop in ethnic markets in general. Again, I buy locally made tortillas, Asian foodstuffs, and a whole lot of other delicious stuff in ethnic groceries and markets and save money in the process.
9. Buying day-old artisanally baked bread and freezing or making toast out of it is also a way to save money and maximize deliciousness.
10. It's really hard to save money on high-quality meat and fish, so I have adopted the Michael Pollan ethos of eating less meat. Saving money on fish requires buying more fish like porgy and whiting, but those are both mighty tasty fish when cooked properly.

'Beckham's the best'
Beckham (right) shakes hands with Simeone after winning the personal duel
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson hailed his midfielder David Beckham as the "best in Europe", after he masterminded the superb 2-0 win over Inter Milan.
The England star, who was sent off against Argentina in France 98 after clashing with Simeone, made both Dwight Yorke's goals with incisive balls from the right.
And his individual display had Ferguson searching for the superlatives: "We had a lot of good performers, and David Beckham was absolutely outstanding.
"I am not surprised he tormented them all night. He is the best crosser of a ball in Europe."
United in box seat
The victory - and, equally importantly, the clean sheet - makes United clear favourites to reach the last four after the second leg in Milan in two weeks.
Inter must now win at least 3-0 to go through - and Ferguson believes his free-scoring side can breach the Italians' defence at the San Siro.
"I don't think the tie is over but I am sure we will score in Milan and we have an outstanding chance of going through.
"I am sure Ronaldo will be fit for the return, but we can play better than we did tonight in Milan - even though it will be very difficult for us there."
"I thought it was a good performance by us. They had one or two chances in the second half that worried me, and we will just have to look at how those happened."
'There could have been more'
"But in general we worked very hard," Ferguson added. "We could have had maybe a goal or two in the second half, and Ryan Giggs had a great chance - but 2-0 is a great result for us."
But Inter coach Mircea Lucescu warned his side will be a different prospect in the return leg: "If we start playing from the first whistle at home things will be different," he said.
"We failed to deal with Manchester United for too long tonight."

Southeast Michigan is home to Detroit, the capital of the American auto industry. While there are no RV parks in the city, the entire region has numerous parks to satisfy weekend excursions or summer-long vacations. You can find RV parks in secluded wooded areas near inland lakes and rivers, or parks near the beaches of lakes Huron and Erie.
Oakland County
Oakland county includes the cities of Pontiac and Troy. The more popular RV parks are the Flint/Holly KOA, Groveland Oaks County Park, and Camp Dearborn. The Flint/Holly KOA is minutes from the Great Lakes Crossing Mall, the Michigan Renaissance Festival held in the fall, and the DTE Energy Music Theatre. Groveland Oaks County Park is located on Stewart Lake, a 30-acre lake for boating, swimming and fishing. Camp Dearborn sits on 626 acres with a 27-hole championship golf course at Mystic Creek and six lakes for swimming, fishing, and boating.
Washtenaw County
Check out the Detroit-Greenfield RV Park if you're looking for a park in the center of southeast Michigan's cultural and metropolitan sites. The park is in Ypsilanti, less than 20 miles from Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, Greenfield Village, Comerica Park, Ford Field and the Detroit Zoo. Located on a private, spring-fed lake, the park has a new water slide and shaded pull-throughs for when you're ready to relax after a day spent sightseeing in metro Detroit.
Monroe County
Monroe county, on the shores of Lake Erie south of Detroit, has several RV parks near the beaches and further inland. The Lost Peninsula Marina and Campground boasts 50 camp sites on 82 acres of green space next to a marina with 500 boat docks right on Lake Erie. The Harbortown RV Resort, within a mile of Lake Erie, is "designed for big rigs" with 50-, 30- and 20-amp electric service, paved roads, and a family entertainment center with go-karts, miniature golf and an arcade. Farther inland you'll find the Monroe County/Toledo North KOA with a double-loop waterslide, miniature golf course, and a swimming, boating and fishing lake with a sandy beach.
St. Clair County
Located in the northern part of southeast Michigan, St. Clair County has three RV parks within an hour's drive of Detroit. The Port Huron KOA, next to the St. Clair River and the shores of Lake Huron, has numerous on-site activities, from go-karts to bumper boats to miniature golf. The Fort Trodd Family Campground Resort requires a minimum one-month stay, but its 40-acre lake offers plenty of swimming, fishing and boating to fill up your time. The Emmett KOA is located farther inland from the Lake Huron but rests on 40 wooded acres with plenty of biking/hiking trails, and has an inland, sandy beach lake for swimming, boating and fishing.
There are no RV parks in Wayne County, so you'll need to look for one in the surrounding area if you want to do some RV camping while visiting areas of interest in the city of Detroit. If you're looking for a park close to Detroit, consider the Detroit-Greenfield RV Park in Ypsilanti.

Taking Over the ACE Awards 2: How to Make Film School Work
COW Library : Art of the Edit : Kylee Peña : Taking Over the ACE Awards 2: How to Make Film School Work
Each year, the American Cinema Editors holds a student editing competition in which students are provided the same set of video dailies they must edit into a short. The submissions are judged by a panel of professional film editors, with three finalists invited to the formal and fancy ACE Eddie Awards in January. One student receives an Eddie award among the crowd of high level editors also being honored for their work on the year's biggest and best movies and television shows.
For the first time, one school swept the finalist nominees for the award. Not a school in New York or LA, but University of North Carolina, School of the Arts in Winston-Salem, NC.
Under the encouragement and guidance of their faculty, students at UNCSA applied to participate in the ACE competition. Three students -- Aneesa Mahboob, Chris Dold, and Emily Rayl -- traveled to Los Angeles, and Chris was presented with the statue by JJ Abrams at the ceremony. But more than just an award, the three students were able to visit Los Angeles, make strong connections, and feel welcome in the editorial community. And that's on top of four years of job-oriented preparation.
UNCSA's editing graduates have a high rate of success right out of college, while many young people struggle to land their first gig. While they're working on the last phases of their academic careers, they feel the same fear any nearly-graduated student feels: after four years of relative safety within the walls of the school, what happens next? While Chris has another year left at UNCSA, Aneesa and Emily are graduating seniors that have after-graduation jobs already secured. What has led to their success? Their faculty -- Julian Semilian, ACE, and Michael Miller, ACE -- have a lot to say about their students, and what all young people can focus on and take away from a film school experience.
Michael Miller is a long-time editor turned instructor. After starting out his editorial career as an assistant editor on Woody Allen's Manhattan and Stardust Memories, he worked on Raging Bull for Martin Scorsese. Moving up to editor, he cut Raising Arizona and Miller's Crossing for The Coen Brothers and moved to Los Angeles to continue his career and expand his credits to include films such as Anaconda, Ghost World, and Infinitely Polar Bear. "After spending time at UNCSA as a guest artist, I began guest lecturing at such learning centers as Cornell University, New York Film Academy, AFI and Sonoma State. When a full time position opened up at UNCSA last fall, I was rarin' to go."
Michael Miller
Teaching was a dream I held dear but never consciously considered would actually happen." Julian saw an ad for a teaching position in a convenience store, applied, and has been teaching for 18 years.
Creative COW: One of the great debates for someone that wants a post production career is "college or no college." As an instructor, one might assume you're a supporter of getting a degree. What's your perspective on this debate?
Michael: I didn't attend film school. I merely took a couple of film history and film theory classes as an undergraduate. But working as an assistant editor when motion pictures were cut on film was a viable way to learn the craft. The job was to find the pieces of film the director and editor needed and in order to do that efficiently, the assistant had to be in the room with them. Based on what they were saying and doing at the KEM, I had to anticipate what they'd need. So the assistant editor was privy to all editor/director dialogue -- why to cut to a close-up instead of an over-the-shoulder shot, why to delete line of dialogue, why to move scene 85 before scene 37, why not to cut, why to cut on this frame instead of that. In digital editing, a computer keystroke gets you the shot the editor and the director are looking for, so the assistant isn't in the room with them. Access to that kind of dialogue has vanished. The only place for an editor to pass along the keys to the craft are in film schools.
Julian: I am neither for nor against going to college for editing. But I am for going to college for editing and sound at our school. We are committed to the thorough education of the student editor in all aspects of editing and sound. The students are "industry-ready" when they graduate. The faculty is made up of seasoned, passionate and caring professionals, who, incidentally, are still engaged in the process of making.
Many young people go directly into the business, each with some degree of knowledge or skill, and perhaps some talent. We feel this is not enough. The learning curve out there is steep and many don't make it, or at least not as far as they would dream, because they are unprepared, both professionally and emotionally. On the other hand, our students are thoroughly mentored in all aspects of the profession; the technological and the pragmatic, learning and practicing repeatedly in all the current platforms; in the artistic, through a thorough revisiting of the cinema history through the eyes of the editor, a detailed study of the editing of the great classics, one-on-one mentoring on the student projects; and in addition, familiarizing the students with art history, literature, music, drama.
Every year we invite important working picture and sound editors to spend one-on-one sessions with each and every editing student. We spend countless hours in discussions about editing room protocol and behavior. That's one reason we have such a high percentage of industry placement, either in Los Angeles or New York, and in other markets as well. We also keep in touch with all of our alumni who always call us for advise and sometimes for job possibilities. And of course, our own contacts as faculty come in very handy in getting the students internships and job connections. We are constantly in touch with our students, even when their careers are well under way.
Mentorships developed in the business are tinged with the tension and the stress of the tight schedules and the emphasis on performance under such stress. While we have schedules here as well and are very strict about keeping them, we also know this is still a dress rehearsal. The penalty for messing up is less severe and it becomes a lesson rather than job and reputation loss. So the training at the school and the pre-career time spent here, under the guidance of an experienced professional, is invaluable.
CC: What is important for students beginning a media program or film school to understand?
Michael: Editing software changes all the time and seldom if ever affects the way a film is edited. A viewer can't really tell if a picture has been edited on a moviola, a Steenbeck, on Avid or Adobe Premiere. So, while it's important to know current programs, what's far more important is to know what good editing is - in terms of performance, pace, rhythm and, of course, dramatic storytelling.
Julian: It is essential to understand that every single one of our students with a degree of motivation, drive, and good work ethic starts to work right away. That makes about 95% placement. I think the longest wait time before being employed is about two months. We also have a great alumni network. The alumni help the new graduates with jobs. That's because they know how powerful the training here is and trust the new grads.
Another element of the mentorship [a film school offers] is that we are able to prevent the students from making the same mistakes we made. Some of the situations that we went through in our careers occur in the school environment as well, but the penalty is less severe. Also, when a former student calls for advice, we can easily discern when they are about to make a wrong move that could cost them a good chunk of their career and point them in the right direction.
I went to Hollywood with little training other than my desire to work in the film business as an editor, having some skill in synching dailies, and without any contacts in the industry. It took thirteen months of daily knocking on doors to finally break through and get an apprentice position at Paramount. It was in the film days, and I was charged with delivering reels of film from cutting rooms to projection and back. You did this all day. When you weren't busy with that you were sent to a large non-air conditioned print storage room where you made fill. From time to time you got the privilege of synching dailies.
I was lucky enough that five years into my Hollywood days I was hired to be an assistant to Bernard Gribble, ACE, one of the all time great editors. Bernie was the editor's editor and I couldn't have wished for a greater mentor. What I learned from Bernie all those years, I am able to impart to many students. [Julian wrote an obituary for Bernie as well: http://www.larryjordan.biz/app_bin/wordpress/archives/1416]
Bernie's influence was immense. It was because of him that I was successful as an editor. Towards the end of his life Bernie mentioned to me that since going digital, the relationship of editor to assistant had changed drastically and he was worried that since the mentorship that used to take place when cutting on film was no longer possible, film editing itself would suffer. The same concerns were expressed in articles in the ACE magazine, CinemaEditor. ACE helped us tremendously by connecting us with many great editors who came as guest artists, some of them repeatedly, people such as Tom Rolf, Alan Heim, Michael Tronick, Stephen Mirrione, Michael Miller, Lori Jane Coleman, Bud Smith, Bill Gordean, Harry Keramidas, Allan Holzman, Zene Baker for picture editing, and sound editors Lon Bender and Willie Statesman. They devoted many hours to working one-on-one with the students and giving copious advice.
CC: Has the video production and post production industry changed over the last decade or so in a way that makes getting a degree more or less favorable?
Michael: Not the last decade as much as in the last two decades the assistant editor's job has entailed, in its entirety, tasks that are best done outside of the editor's room. Learning the craft from professionals in a university or conservatory setting has become much more important than it once was.
Julian: Since the digital age took over, the technology has been changing very fast. When we cut on film, the Moviola, and then the Kem, were predominant for the greater part of the history of cinema. The process didn't change very much for so many years. Once you learned the basics, you didn't have to worry any more. Now people have to stay constantly up-to-date with the development of the technology. So for us, it is much more favorable. The students go into the business having mastered all current platforms.
CC: What's your approach as an instructor?
Michael: I've had success combining theoretical and anecdotal readings, screenings of film clips or whole films, classroom lectures discussions and editing assignments that apply what was learned in readings, screenings and the classroom. The screenings are hugely important because watching great motion pictures raises a student's aesthetic standards more than anything else.
Julian: Beginning with year one, we teach a year-long class following the development of cinema through the eye of the editor, starting with Muybridge and ending with the latest trends and developments of the art of editing. The students are given exercises emulating these developments. I like to spend a lot of one-on-one time with as many students as possible. That leads to rapid development for those who are going into editing.
In addition, each editing student has a faculty mentor. In every year, much time is spent going over multiple possibilities of scene interpretations of films the students are editing, finding new ways of fixing substandard performances, figuring out ways to make up for limited coverage, fixing story points. We deliberately and diligently analyze every cut. I prepare students for the job market by sometimes making them make changes in scenes that already play well.
We also spend many hours analyzing the editing of scenes from great movies, getting down to the principles behind the choices that were made by the editors. The same goes for sound.
CC: Tell me about your experience at the Eddies this year.
Michael: I love attending the Eddies. Seriously, is there anything better than seeing editors in formal attire? But this year was truly special. ACE president Alan Heim had visited UNCSA as a guest artist a couple of months before the awards dinner and was extremely warm and welcoming to the students and to the faculty members who attended. Everyone was, actually. The students got to meet and chat with Alan, Carole Littleton, Tina Hirsch, Steve Rivkin, Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Markey -- so many great editors I could go on and on and on! And how exciting to see Chris Dold accept the Eddie Award from JJ Abrams!
Emily, Aneesa and Chris with Julian Semilian and Michael Miller at an ACE cocktail party.
Julian: Overwhelming happiness and pride in our students and our program. We have great appreciation to ACE for giving so much consideration to our school. While in LA for the ACE awards we had an alumni dinner one night. The room they reserved for us at the restaurant suddenly filled up and alums spilled out in the next room. There were students there from each year I taught, and each one of them was working! Rarely have I felt so happy in my whole life!
Michael Miller surrounded by new grads and alumni of UNCSA in LA.
CC: Why is it important for students to pursue activities (like this contest, or internships, or self-produced films) outside of assignments and projects?
Michael: The ACE contest gives the students a chance to edit professionally shot material. As good as university screenwriting, acting and other programs may be, they often don't provide student editors with material that could air in primetime on a network or play theatrically. So the contest gives the students a chance to hear their playing on a Stradivarius, as it were. Internships give students a chance to work for and with professionals in the field. And outside assignments and projects give them opportunities to practice their craft. Practice, as we know, well... you know.
Julian: Most of the students pursue a traditional Hollywood career. We have been very successful in connecting our students with editors and companies we know. We encourage students to pursue internships in order to become familiar with the practices of professional editors in the actual combat of daily pressure. Many of these internships turn into jobs upon graduation, as the students are asked to return. Other students wish to pursue more non-traditional forms of cinema. Some are committed to experimental films; they work freelance in post companies while pursuing making personal films. There are former students who are showing their work in galleries and festivals.
CC: Some people argue that technology isn't important to learn in school, but entry level positions assume a degree of technical aptitude. How do you deal with a balance of creative and technical skills needs? How can students assure they are prepared with both aspects to enter the job market upon graduation?
Michael: Aside from mastering the 4-year curriculum, the best way to be prepared, I think, is to understand that it's probably necessary to start with an entry-level position. Another great thing about the ACE student editing competition is that the finalists got to "network" with the top professionals in the industry -- editors who might be able to put them to work as interns, apprentices or possibly even assistants.
Balance is the key. Learn to use ProTools and Adobe and Avid, and study Hitchcock, Renoir, Fellini and all the great masters of filmmaking at the same time. Having a very wide frame of reference as a movie lover is often as important in landing a job as having technical skills.
Michael Miller and new graduates of UNCSA on a senior trip in LA.
Julian: It is absurd to argue that technology should not be taught in school. It's like saying a painter doesn't need to learn how to mix paints. Creativity needs the platform of technology. And truthfully speaking, they feed each other. You can really be free and spontaneous when you know the technology. We begin with Premiere Pro for year one and two, while those committing to editing and sound continue to year three and four with Avid, ProTools, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve.
That being said, it would be ideal to have a dedicated tech person teach the basics of a platform, while the faculty can be freed to deal with the creative aspects and with further honing the mastering of the platform.
Still, creativity and the imagination are the most essential essential elements. It is creativity and imagination which drive the work. I have met quite a few people who live with the illusion that knowing Avid or Premiere Pro or After Effects makes you an editor! It is unfortunate that level of delusion still permeates much of the populace.
CC: What do you hope a student has learned by the time they come to graduate?
Michael: I hope they've begun to understand the enormous power of editing. The power to find and use great moments even if they can't be "match cut" into the film. The power to construct better performances from multiple takes than you can find in any one take. The power to restructure a story -- to rewrite a picture in the editing room. The power to focus viewers' attention and keep them transfixed.
Julian: I want my students not only to be technologically and creatively savvy, but to be able to speak intelligently about cinema, art, literature, music. All the arts feed each other. To be a great editor you have to be a complete artist. Being articulate in sharing a vision with the director leads to greater work, and being hired again.

| 11°C Belfast
David Denton has been ruled out of Scotland's summer tour as the back-row forward continues his recovery from a concussion he sustained over a month ago.
The 24-year-old was set to earn his 23rd cap for the senior national team when Scotland take on Argentina on Friday.
However, he will miss the clash in Cordoba as well as the encounter against South Africa eight days later in Port Elizabeth as he has not fully recovered from the head injury he suffered in Edinburgh's defeat to Leinster on the final day of the RaboDirect Pro12 season.
Scotland team doctor James Robson said: "As we've always said we regard the welfare of our players as our principal priority and David has not recovered sufficiently to be considered for the intensity of Test match rugby against Argentina and South Africa."

Summary of Mindset

We have the summary! Get the key insights in just 10 minutes.
- Innovative
- Scientific
- Inspiring
This book has a simple premise: The world is divided between people who are open to learning and those who are closed to it, and this trait affects everything from your worldview to your interpersonal relationships. Author and psychology professor Carol S. Dweck has scoured research papers and news clippings to extract anecdotes about the pros and cons of both mindsets. Thus, stories about Michael Jordan, Lee Iacocca, John McEnroe, Wilma Rudolph and Babe Ruth, among others, find a place in this book. Dweck addresses the ways that mindsets have an impact on people. She explains that you can have a closed mindset in regard to some traits and an open mindset in regard to others. The thought-provoking insight comes from learning when you need to adjust your mindset to move ahead. The author extends her basic point by viewing all areas of human relationships through the prism of mindset. That is interesting, but getAbstract believes that this material would still be useful and illuminating even if it applied only to leadership and management.

2 months agoIt helped me understand that you can have growth mindset even if harsh criticism comes your way and to use it as a way for continued growth through out your career
4 months agoGreat Read - definitely will have to change my mindset to Growth in some of my traits .
7 months agogreat words bring Changes
2 years agoin the past i've demonstrated in part fixed mindset and also a love of learning and improving. wondering who am i? fixed or growth?
regardless now I know i have to sharpen the latter .
2 years agoIt's definitely possible to be fixed in some aspects of your current traits/behaviors, and growth in others. The book itself talks a bit more about this too. It's a good read for sure.
3 years agoAmazing book. Also need the audio version!
3 years agothis is one of the best book recommended by bill gates, why rated it only 7/10? it should be at least 9/10. The best book I have ever read.
4 years agoI believe that one can have a fixed mindset in one part of their life but a growth mindset in others. The challenge is creating a growth mindset in all that we do.
4 years agoHello David, Thank you for your request regarding the audio version of Mindset. We apologize for any inconvenience, however an audio version of this summary is not available. At t his time getAbstract does not have any plans to provide one as it is an older summary in our Library back from 2006.

MOSCOW/January 11, 2018 (AP)(STL.News) —A court in Siberia has opened hearings in the trial of a former policeman who is charged with the murder of 60 people.
Mikhail Popkov, from the eastern Siberian city of Angarsk, was first arrested in 2012 and sentenced to life in prison for the murder of 22 women. While in custody, Popkov confessed to 20 more.
Local police have for years been investigating murders in the Irkutsk region where dozens of women were raped and killed in secluded spots.
The latest charges against Popkov include 60 counts of murder, which could make him Russia's biggest serial killer in at least the last 100 years. Prosecutors began reading out the charges on Wednesday and adjourned the hearing until Monday.
Psychiatric tests run on Popkov have shown that he is sane.

A leading housing market analyst says the sales market is increasingly determined by the acts of buy to let and other property investors.
Doug Shepherd, director of the listings platform Home and the author of a monthly market index, says his analysis of the market indicates it works like this.
"Prices rise to the point where rental yields are unattractive. This, in turn, triggers a surge in supply as investors try to cash out. The supply surge puts an end to price growth and buyers become hesitant. Demand falls and prices steadily correct without disastrous consequences.
"Thanks to relatively benign lending conditions, potential vendors can (and do) choose not to sell and supply is reduced to the point where price growth is rekindled. The cycle is complete."
Shepherd says this is particularly the case in London.
"Low borrowing costs mean that most vendors are not forced to sell. They can opt for short-term lets or similar while market conditions improve. Moreover, the dearth of available rental accommodation in the capital makes this process relatively easy, and rents are rising rapidly in the central boroughs."

As 2013 gets off to a rousing start, I wonder what you are planning to accomplish this year? Notice I said planning, not wishing, hoping or praying to the Good Lord that divine intervention comes down and strikes you with the Lucky Stick. For me, it means continuing to work on big projects at ESSENCE while building the Tanisha's Tips brand. What I've found in my own quest for continued success is to be careful not to say yes too casually. Why? Because I then find myself overwhelmed by the mere thought of the to-do lists. There is nothing wrong with wanting more for your career. Go hard, drive fast and get it done. But don't drive so hard that you flame out in a fit of anger or worse, you get sick (that flu bug is a mother, shut your mouth). As you ladies march on toward world domination (yes, I've actually heard people use this term endearingly), keep these thoughts in mind:
Don't bite off more than you can chew. Here's a new mantra for 2013: Under-promise and over-deliver. This sounded like sheer genius coming out of the mouth of a co-worker recently. I thought, I'll try that! And, you should too.
Have a vision. Most people are short-term minded. They say I want to be a writer, actor, stylist, cop, blogger, lawyer, nurse, etc., without fully recognizing what that looks like. What do you see on this road to greatness? How will you overcome the haters, the obstacles, the negativity. There have been plenty of times I have been ignored, laughed at or just plain insulted for expressing my dreams. But it's never stopped me because I am not defined by other's short-sightedness, only by the hopes and dreams I've yet to unlock.
Stay the course. It's so easy to fall off track. Instead of thinking about all of the checklists you have to rip through over the remaining days of the year, plan that list out for a week and rip through it one day at a time. When your fall or even fail, get your behind back up. Take a walk, have a good cry, but continue to tell yourself, "I can do this." That is what I say to myself before I get on stage to host an event, give a speech or make a presentation. Works like a charm.
What are your dreams for 2013? Get some advice on how to make them come true at email@example.com.

Article Title
Adolescent Psychiatric Comorbidities Contribute to Diabetes-Related Emergency Health Care Visits
Publication Date
adolescent mental health, diabetes
Background/Aims: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic illness involving failure to produce insulin, and requires a demanding management regime to protect against serious ailments including stroke and cardiovascular disease. Although psychiatric diagnoses hinder self-care, less is known about the impact of three relatively common psychiatric diagnoses (i.e. depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder) on the management of T1D during adolescence, a developmental stage at which risk for psychiatric diagnoses is heightened, metabolic control declines and enduring health habits are established. The goal of this study was to examine whether the co-occurrence (i.e. comorbidity) of psychiatric diagnoses interferes with the management of T1D, specifically by contributing to a higher number of T1D-related emergency health care visits across three years in adolescence.
Methods: Health insurance claims records were extracted for a sample of 145 adolescents (age 10–19 years; 52% female) diagnosed with T1D who had continuous enrollment in a regional health plan across the three study years. Diagnostic grouping software identified diagnoses of depression, anxiety and attention deficit disorder, and their comorbidities. Place of service codes captured T1D-related emergency department and urgent care visits.
Results: A random effect logistic regression was used to examine whether psychiatric comorbidities increased the probability of T1D-related emergency health care visits within a study year. Potential covariates (i.e. gender, age, insurance policy type, months of enrollment) were included; the no psychiatric diagnosis group was used for comparison. Although single psychiatric diagnoses did not increase the probability of an emergency health care visit (P > 0.50), psychiatric comorbidities significantly positively predicted emergency health care visits (P < 0.001). Follow-up analysis revealed a marginal effect of +22%, indicating that the presence of psychiatric comorbidities substantially increased the likelihood of an emergency health care visit.
Conclusion: Results supported the hypothesis that psychiatric diagnoses have a synergistic effect on adolescents' ability to successfully manage T1D. These findings highlight the need to consider the complex interplay between psychological health and chronic illness management across adolescence.
