Here is an article:
Our sister paper, Florida Today, reports on a case of viral grief that is raising questions of what is acceptable in today's world of instant communication and tell-all messaging.
Two-year-old Bryson Ross died in the family's swimming pool Monday. Mother Shellie Ross posted on Twitter.com about his accident a half-hour after she called paramedics — and then was attacked by strangers nationwide in follow-up tweets and blogs for doing so.
Ross, who has a blog (www.blog4mom.com) and 5,000 followers on Twitter (twitter.com/Military_Mom), wrote that she was outside with her son Monday evening and "it took him two seconds to slip away." She called 911 at 5:38 p.m. to say she had found him in the bottom of the pool. At 6:12, she tweeted: "Please pray like never before, my 2 yr old fell in the pool." The Brevard County Sheriff's Office said the drowning was accidental.
Almost immediately, Twitter users responded with support and criticism. The newspaper reports:
Madison McGraw, who does not know the Ross family, tweeted about the incident and also posted an item on her blog, at www.madisonmcgraw.com, titled "Mom Tweets While Son Drowns."
"The person that I have compassion for is her son — who might still be alive if (Ross) interacted with her son like she interacted with people on Twitter," McGraw wrote. "To me, that shows the repercussions for social media gone awry."
On the other side, is Shari Keating, a friend who met Ross via blog and social networking conferences. "To judge her, I think, is appalling," Keating said. "You have to realize that blogging is a community."
Ross declined to comment to the newspaper, but she has been back on Twitter thanking supporters and castigating critics.

New Haven lies in the transition between a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification: Dfa) and humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa), but having more characteristics of the former, as is typical of much of the New York metropolitan area. Summers are humid and warm, with temperatures exceeding 90 °F (32 °C) on 7–8 days per year. Winters are cold with moderate snowfall interspersed with rainfall and occasionally mixed precipitation. The weather patterns that affect New Haven result from a primarily offshore direction, thus reducing the marine influence of Long Island Sound—although, like other marine areas, differences in temperature between areas right along the coastline and areas a mile or two inland can be large at times.

Make sure you’re really interested in modeling. Decide if you’ve got the right personality. Talk to your parents. Get your parents' permission. Recognize the commitment required. Be realistic about your odds of great success.
Article: | Being a model may seem like an exciting and glamorous job, but it actually requires a lot of hard work. It’s important to determine whether you will really enjoy the experience before you give up your free time that could be spent playing with friends to commit to modeling. Ask a friend or family to do a practice photo session with you to see if you have fun posing. Practice photo sessions won’t just help you decide if you’ll enjoy modeling; they can help you feel more comfortable in front of the camera too. Make sure that your friend or family member gives you direction on how you should look in each photo because that’s what a professional photographer will do at a modeling photo shoot. For example, your friend might tell you to look calm and thoughtful in one shot and excited in another. Even if you believe that you’ll enjoy modeling and posing for the camera, you should also figure out if you have the right temperament for the job. Many kids are shy around strangers when they’re young, but if you’re modeling, you must be confident and outgoing. You can’t be uncomfortable when you’re working with new agents, photographers, executives, and other crew at each photo shoot. If you’re not sure whether you have the personality for modeling, ask yourself if you really like being the center of attention and are able to be yourself even when you’re around people who you don’t know very well. It’s also important to be able to take direction from others and to have enough patience to remain still for as long as 15 minutes when you’re a model. Once you’re sure that you’ll enjoy modeling and have the personality for it, you should talk to your parents about it. Explain to them why you're interested in modeling. You might tell them that you believe it will allow you to express yourself or that you think it will help you feel more confident. You can even just tell them that you think it will be fun to pose for photos. Just be honest and enthusiastic. It’s important to understand that allowing you to model requires a big commitment on your parents’ part. They’ll have to take you to casting calls and shoots, and wait around with you while you’re working so they’ll be giving up their time too. If your parents are actually the ones who bring up the idea of modeling, be sure that it’s something that you really want to do. Don’t let them push you into being model if you’re not genuinely interested in it. As a child, you’ll need your parents’ permission to become a model so you have to get them to agree. They may have concerns about how modeling will affect other parts of your life, so make sure to tell them that school will still be a priority and you’ll continue to get all of your chores done. Consider making a deal with your parents that you’re only allowed to model if you get certain grades in school and do your part to help around the house. Many states require work permits for children under 18 who work as models or in other entertainment fields. When you meet with agencies, they can help you and your parents figure out what documentation you need to work. Modeling seems like an exciting job, but you should go into the process understanding that it’s not all fun and games. It may take hours to get just a handful of shots done, and you'll need to give maximum effort the entire time. Shoots often have a lot of downtime too, which means you will probably be sitting around a lot as you wait to pose. Some clients may try to have their photos shoots during the evenings and weekends, but many jobs will be during the weekday. That means you may have to miss school to model, so if you’re already behind in your classes, it may not be the best fit for you. Other photo shoots may require getting up very early and working before school, so make sure you’re willing to change your schedule to model. Because of all the waiting around on shoots, you should be sure to bring supplies to keep you busy. You might bring some schoolwork to do or books to read. It’s also a good idea to bring your favorite snacks and drinks. Modeling is very competitive, so you’re going to go up against many other kids who also want to be models. As a result, finding an agency to work with you and jobs may not be that easy. You can't count on being an instant success or making big money, so you shouldn't go into modeling just for the fame and fortune. Talk to your parents about the expectations for your modeling career. It's important that everyone is on the same page. Many models don't get paid a lot. Some get paid as little as ten dollars an hour. | 8 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Was really hoping for a better experience. Once we walked in, we noticed there weren't a lot of people for a Saturday afternoon and college football. We liked the idea of a dog theme, and the peanuts in dog bowls. We really were disappointed that our waiter had no idea of what beer was available, which resulted in my having to order a different beer 3 times because it turned out the beer wasn't available. I commented to our waiter that the manager needs to do a better job in having the opening meeting to outline the beer selection so the waitstaff are prepared and don't look like fools to their customers...and the waiter agreed. Never saw the manager making rounds. The chicken wings were just average and I have to say the Thai peanut sauce is too thick and pasty. We drank our one beer each and had a few wings and left. I don't foresee us going back, too bad.

Background: John F. Stossel was born on March 6, 1947, in Chicago Heights, Illinois, the younger of two sons, to Jewish parents who left Germany before Hitler rose to power. They joined a Congregationalist church in the U.S., and Stossel was raised Protestant. He grew up on Chicago's affluent North Shore and graduated from New Trier High School. Stossel characterizes his older brother, Tom, as "the superstar of the family", commenting, "While I partied and played poker, he studied hard, got top grades, and went to Harvard Medical School."
Context: Progressive organizations such as Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) and Media Matters for America (MMfA) have criticized Stossel's work, for what they perceived as a lack of balance of coverage and distortion of facts. For example, Stossel was criticized for a segment on his October 11, 1999, show during which he argued that AIDS research has received too much funding, "25 times more than on Parkinson's, which kills more people." FAIR responded that AIDS had killed more people in the United States in 1999, but Stossel was speaking in more broad terms than a single country over a single year. In a February 2000 Salon.com feature on Stossel entitled "Prime-time propagandist", David Mastio wrote that Stossel has a conflict of interest in donating profits from his public speaking engagements to, among others, a non-profit called "Stossel in the Classroom" which includes material for use in schools, some of which uses material made by Stossel. University of Texas economist James K. Galbraith has alleged that Stossel, in his September 1999 special Is America #1?, used an out-of-context clip of Galbraith to convey the notion that Galbraith advocated the adoption by Europe of the free market economics practiced by the United States, when in fact Galbraith actually advocated that Europe adopt some of the United States' social benefit transfer mechanisms such as Social Security, which is the economically opposite view. Stossel denied any misrepresentation of Galbraith's views and stated that it was not his intention to convey that Galbraith agreed with all of the special's ideas. However, he re-edited that portion of the program for its September 2000 repeat, in which Stossel paraphrased, "Even economists who like Europe's policies, like James Galbraith, now acknowledge America's success."

For dinner we shared the Gator Pizza which was really quite good with just enough kick to it. And we also shared the Paneed Chicken which wasn't as good. It had a strange flavor to it that I can't really describe. We got a watermelon spritzer drink which was like a watermelon soda and that was really good.

Summarize this article:
The pipeline transports about 450,000 barrels of oil per day on average - about 40% of UK production.
It is one of the oldest in the sector, having started operating in the Forties field in 1975.
The 235-mile line links 85 North Sea oil and gas fields to the UK mainland, and to the Ineos site in Grangemouth.
Sites at Aberdeen, the Kinneil terminal and gas processing plant, the Dalmeny terminal and the Forties Unity Platform will all transfer to Ineos when the deal is completed.
BP originally operated the Forties oil and gas field, the pipeline and the refinery.
It sold its interests in the oil field to Apache in 2003 and sold the Grangemouth refinery and chemical plants to Ineos in 2005.
Forties Pipeline System employs about 300 staff at Kinneil, Falkirk, Dalmeny, Aberdeen and offshore.
Ineos chairman and founder Jim Ratcliffe said: "The North Sea continues to present new opportunities for Ineos.
"The Forties Pipeline System is a UK strategic asset and was originally designed to work together to feed the Grangemouth refinery and petrochemical facilities.
"We have a strong track record of acquiring non-core assets and improving their efficiency and reliability, securing long-term employment and investment."
Deals done in the offshore oil industry are, generally, a good sign.
They signal that there are still buyers who think they can get more value than existing owners out of these maturing assets, and still have enough left over to pay for decommissioning.
That releases capital for the existing owner to invest upstream.
Following its Gulf of Mexico explosion and spill, BP hastened the pace of its shift from refining and mid-stream operations such as pipelines operations.
The oil major wants to deploy its capital resources where it thinks it can get most return by specialising in what it does best - big scale, technically-demanding new fields, such as those west of Shetland.
Ineos thinks it can extract more economic value out of older assets being put on the market by the majors.
Read more from Douglas.
Under the terms of the deal, Ineos will pay BP US$125m (£99.5m) on completion and an earn-out arrangement over seven years that totals up to a further US$125m.
BP chief executive Bob Dudley said: "While the Forties pipeline had great significance in BP's history, our business here is now centred around our major offshore interests west of Shetland and in the Central North Sea."
The Forties Pipeline System primarily comprises a 105-mile (169km) 36in pipeline from the unmanned offshore Forties Unity platform to the onshore terminal at Cruden Bay in Aberdeenshire.
From there, a 36in onshore pipeline transports the oil 130 miles (209km) south to the Kinneil facilities, adjacent to the Ineos-owned Grangemouth refinery and chemical plant on the Forth.
This is where it is processed before either being sent for export via the Dalmeny terminal or on to the refinery at Grangemouth.
20% of the oil that passes down the pipeline feeds the Ineos refinery to provide 80% of Scotland's fuel.
The Unite union, which was involved in two major disputes with Ineos in 2008 and 2013, called for the Scottish and Westminster parliaments to carry out urgent inquiries into the sale.
Scottish secretary Pat Rafferty said: "It's not so long ago that both Grangemouth and the Forties pipeline were owned by all of us, and operated by a nationalised British Petroleum with a responsibility to look at what was good for the country as a whole, not just what was good for a small group of wealthy individuals.
"Both these parts of vital national infrastructure - which are central to the success of the Scottish and wider UK economy are now essentially in the hands of one man.
"Unite firmly believes that this sale is bad for Scotland and the UK."

Douglas Richard Flutie (born October 23, 1962) is a former quarterback in the National Football League (NFL), Canadian Football League (CFL), and United States Football League (USFL). Flutie first rose to prominence during his college football career at Boston College, where he received the Heisman Trophy and the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award in 1984. His "Hail Flutie" touchdown pass in a game against Miami on November 23, 1984 (dubbed "The Pass") is considered among the greatest moments in college football and American sports history. Flutie was selected as the 285th pick in the 11th round of the 1985 NFL Draft by the Los Angeles Rams, making him the lowest drafted Heisman Award winner among those who were drafted.
Flutie played football for Boston College, the only Division I-A school to recruit him, from 1981 to 1984, and won the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, and the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award in his senior year (1984). Flutie became the first quarterback to win the Heisman since Pat Sullivan in 1971. Flutie left school as the NCAA's all-time passing yardage leader with 10,579 yards and was a consensus All-American as a senior. He earned Player of the Year awards from UPI, Kodak, The Sporting News, and the Maxwell Football Club. The quarterback coach for Boston College from 1981 - 1983 was Tom Coughlin. Flutie gained national attention in 1984 when he led the Eagles to victory in a high-scoring, back-and-forth game against the Miami Hurricanes (led by QB Bernie Kosar). The game was nationally televised on CBS the day after Thanksgiving and thus had a huge audience. Miami staged a dramatic drive to take the lead, 45-41, in the closing minute of the game. Boston College then took possession at its own 22-yard line with 28 seconds to go. After two passes moved the ball another 30 yards, only 6 seconds remained. On the last play of the game, Flutie scrambled away from the defense and threw a "Hail Mary pass" that was caught in the end zone by Gerard Phelan, giving BC a 47-45 win. Flutie won the Heisman trophy a week later, but the voting had finished before the game; Flutie said, however, that "without the Hail Mary pass I think I could have been very easily forgotten". The subsequent rise in applications for admission to Boston College after Flutie's "Hail Mary" gave rise to the admissions phenomenon known as the "Flutie Effect". This idea essentially states that a winning sports team can increase the recognition value of a school enough to make it more attractive to potential applicants. In addition to his collegiate athletic achievement, Flutie maintained a distinguished academic record at Boston College. He was a candidate for a Rhodes Scholarship, for which he was named a finalist in 1984. Upon graduating, Flutie won a National Football Foundation post-graduate scholarship. In November 2008, Flutie was honored by Boston College with a statue of him throwing his famous "Hail Mary" pass outside of Alumni Stadium. His number, 22, has been retired by the Boston College football program.

Caroline Parry, 45, was head of English at a Teesside secondary school when authorities found she was swapping "sick" fantasies with a man in the US.
The married mother admitted possessing indecent images of children when she appeared at Teesside Crown Court.
Sixteen of the 20 images were in the most serious category.
Judge Stephen Ashurst said Parry, who also admitted possessing extreme pornography, knew the man was a self-confessed paedophile.
She had talked to him online for a number of years and he called her his "fellow paedo".
Judge Ashurst said: "He described in explicit details his sexual preferences, for sex with children, in particular very young girls and also with their mothers, and he sent very disturbing still and moving images to you.
"Far from being repulsed by what you were either viewing or downloading, you encouraged him in his sick fantasies."
The judge said Parry, of Ryhill Walk in Ormesby, described the child victims as "cute" in messages to the man and said they appeared to be "loving" what was happening to them.
The court heard that in fact the images showed serious abuse by adults of children as young as two.
None of the victims were family members or pupils.
Rachael Dyson, defending, said Parry was "extremely remorseful for her actions" and keen to work with the authorities to address her behaviour.
The judge said Parry was regarded by the outside world as a "responsible mother" who was "well-respected" in her profession.
He described her "fall from grace" as "nothing less than spectacular".
"Your marriage is now in tatters, your home life disrupted, your career in ruins and, I am sure you will appreciate, all of this is self-inflicted," he added.
Parry was also put on the sex offenders register for 10 years and made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order for the same period.

Genes can acquire mutations in their sequence, leading to different variants, known as alleles, in the population. These alleles encode slightly different versions of a protein, which cause different phenotype traits. Colloquial usage of the term "having a gene" (e.g., "good genes," "hair colour gene") typically refers to having a different allele of the gene. Genes evolve due to natural selection or survival of the fittest of the alleles.

LeBron James played for Cavs for first time in four years. London tickets sell out in record time during NBA season's first week. LA Lakers endure their worst start in more than half a century.
Write an article based on these highlights. | The National Basketball Association is one of the pre-eminent sport Leagues in the world and last Tuesday, the 2014-15 season commenced. Every Thursday, Bleacher Report will bring you a round-up of all the action on and off court Stateside. HEADLINE-MAKER. Lebron James - The four-time NBA MVP made his long awaited return for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Four years, three months and 21 days on from his last match for the club, the Cavs fell to a 95-90 defeat at the hands of the London-bound New York Knicks in their season-opener. LeBron James played his first game for Cleveland in over four years, after a spell with the Miami Heat. James' return has not started as well as he would have hoped, with the Cavs losing their first game. The Cavs did hit back to win one game this week, but they are 1-3, despite a promising pre-season. Never afraid of hyperbole, the 10-time NBA All-Star told reporters before the game that the match was 'probably one of the biggest sporting events that's up there ever.' The hyped Cavs, after looking so connected during the pre-season, have underwhelmed so far and their record stands at 1-3. GOOD WEEK. The Houston Rockets, Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors may still be unbeaten but the NBA's global expansion was the week's big winner. Tickets for 'NBA Global Games London 2015' featuring the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks sold out in a new record time. Stephen Curry drives to the basket as the Golden State Warriors enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season. The game, which will be played at The O2 on Thursday January 15, sold out inside an hour. It will be the fifth NBA regular-season game to be played in the capital and marks the ninth consecutive sell-out NBA contest at The O2, dating back to 2007. BAD WEEK. The Los Angeles Lakers have won five NBA titles in the 21st century but have started with five consecutive losses for the first time since 1957, when they were still in Minneapolis. Their miserable start was compounded as rookie power forward Julius Randle crumbled to the hardwood after landing awkwardly on his right leg midway through the fourth quarter of the opening 108-90 loss to the Houston Rockets. LA Lakers talisman Kobe Bryant looks unimpressed as his team slumped to their worst start since 1957. Bryant could be tempted to leave the franchise in 2016, despite previously stating he would stay for life. The Lakers confirmed that Randle had fractured his tibia and would be out for four to six months. Star man Kobe Bryant has said he'll remain a Laker for life but there is a definite possibility that the 16-time All-Star could look to leave the franchise in 2016. BRIT WATCH. A record 101 international players from 37 countries were on opening night rosters for the 2014-15 season and they include two Brits. Luol Deng, who went to school in Croydon, made his Miami Heat debut as they defeated the Washington Wizards 107-95. Britain's only representative Luol Deng throws down a dunk for the Miami Heat against the Toronto Raptors. The two-time NBA All-Star scored 12 points as Miami began life without LeBron. Deng has averaged nearly 30 minutes on court per match as the defending champions have started the season with a 3-2 record. However Surrey's Joel Freeland, a power forward for the Portland Trail Blazers, has been sidelined because of a foot injury after playing six minutes in the opening two matches. AND FINALLY. No chance of going hungry at the Time Warner Cable Arena this season as the Charlotte Hornets are selling a massive eight pound (that's 3.6kg) burger during their home games for the 2014-15 NBA season. The $75 burger on sale at the Time Warner Cable Arena weighs almost 4kg - maybe one to share with friends! The burger is called 'Hugo's Boss,' has 14 patties and is divided into eight pieces.

Transportation safety board beginning four days of hearings. Board examines reported "drastic increase" in accidents and deaths. Nine air ambulance crashes killed 35 people during one-year period. Board's 2006 safety recommendations not fully implemented, it says.
Article: | The National Transportation Safety Board began four days of hearings Tuesday on how to stem the "drastic increase" in medical helicopter accidents. Smoke rises from Spectrum Health Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Michigan, after a helicopter crash in May. Over a recent 12-month period, the board probed nine fatal medical helicopter accidents that killed 35 people, a development that one board member called "alarming." Medical helicopters "provide an important service to the public" in swiftly transporting ill and injured patients and donor organs, the board said on its Web site. Chopper pilots must operate "safely and quickly" in bad weather, at night or on "unfamiliar landing sites," the board added. "This hearing will be extremely important because it can provide an opportunity to learn more about the industry so that possibly we can make further recommendations that can prevent these accidents and save lives," said Robert Sumwalt, chairman of the hearing's board of inquiry. Watch Sumwalt's remarks at hearing ». Flying at night in poor weather conditions likely contributed to the crashes in Texas and Alaska of three medical helicopters that killed 11 people, the NTSB said. The three crashes occurred near South Padre Island, Texas, in February 2008; Huntsville, Texas, in June; and Whittier, Alaska, in December 2007. iReport: Watch smoke pour from a medical chopper crash in Michigan. A December 2007 accident in Cherokee, Alabama, was likely caused by the pilot flying too low over trees, the NTSB said. The helicopter was shining a searchlight on a hunter who had been lost as rescue personnel on the ground tried to reach him. The pilot, a paramedic and a flight nurse were killed, the NTSB said. Among the issues to be discussed at the hearing will be flight operations, aircraft safety equipment, training and oversight. Expert witnesses such as pilots, medical personnel, managers and Federal Aviation Administration officials will give sworn testimony on what has been an "ongoing concern" of the safety board, which issued a report on emergency medical services operations in 2006. The NTSB said there were 55 EMS-related aviation accidents -- both fatal and nonfatal -- between January 2002 and January 2005 that could have been prevented with "simple corrective actions." In those crashes, 54 people were killed, and 18 were seriously injured, the NTSB said. The agency recommended to the FAA in January 2006 that all medical chopper operators be required to develop and implement risk evaluation programs, use dispatch and flight procedures that include up-to-date weather information, and install "terrain awareness and warning systems" on their aircraft. A fourth recommendation would require medical flight operators to follow federal regulations regarding their flights. The recommendations have not been fully implemented, the NTSB said. | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

Christie said this week he's 'convinced that the next president of the United States is going to be a governor—and needs to be' Rand Paul told MailOnline that Christie was oversimplifying presidential politics; 'Jimmy Carter wasn't that great of a president,' he said. Paul is a presumed 2016 presidential candidate; he spoke to MailOnline after his appearance at a rally for Georgia Senate candidate David Perdue. The Kentucky senator told Georgians they should elect Perdue because the Senate already has enough lawyers and not enough businessmen.
Article: | Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul pushed back on Friday on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's claim earlier this week that the next President of the United States 'needs to be' a governor. 'Jimmy Carter wasn't that great of a president,' Paul, a likely 2016 presidential candidate, told MailOnline in an interview after his appearance this afternoon at a rally for Georgia Senate candidate David Perdue. 'I just...I'm not sure that's the best thing, such a simplistic sort of criteria...for what we do,' the first-term senator said. Sen. Rand Paul speaks to an audience of supporters of Georgia Senate candidate David Perdue during a campaign stop at the McDonough Square this afternoon in McDonough, Georgia. Paul said Georgians should elect Perdue, a former CEO of Dollar General, because of his business background. In a speech to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., Christie said he is 'convinced that the next president of the United States is going to be a governor—and needs to be.' The presumed 2016 presidential candidate added: 'We have had an experiment of a legislator who has never run anything getting on-the-job training in the White House. It has not been pretty. And so we need to have a big and broad bench of good, experienced Republican governors to select from in 2016.' On Friday Paul told MailOnline that there have been good governors that went on to be good presidents. Furthermore, he said, there have been bad governors that have been good senators. 'I think we'll figure it out over time,' Paul said, 'but it's probably simplistic to think that one particular occupation makes one person better than the other.' Carter, a Democrat, was the governor of Georgia for four years before he was elected to the presidency. He served just one term as as Commander in Chief before he was booted by voters. The Peach State politician lost the 1980 presidential election to another governor: Ronald Reagan, who served served as chief executive of California for two full terms before seeking election to higher office. Carter's presidency is often synonymous with inflation, recession and high unemployment. The U.S. also experienced an energy crisis during his tenure as oil output in the Middle East decreased during the Iranian Revolution in 1979. That same year wrought the Iran hostage crisis - a 444-day stand off between radical Muslim, Iranian students and the U.S. during the country's revolution. The group held 52 Americans captive in Tehran until January 20, 1981, the day that Carter left office. Relations between Iran and the U.S. have never been the same, and the incident led to the economic sanctions on the country. With tensions running high over the ongoing hostage crisis, Republicans had a banner election year in 1980. Carter won just six states to Reagan's 44. Reagan went on to easily win reelection in 1984. He was succeeded by his vice president, George H.W. Bush - a former Member of Congress who never served as governor of his home state, Texas. Bush was also defeated after only one term by Bill Clinton, then-governor of Arkansas. Megachurch pastor Benny Tate, left, shakes hands with Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson, center, as Paul, center left, and Perdue, right, look on before today's get out the vote rally. Clinton was succeeded in office after two terms by George W. Bush, the then-governor of Texas. Bush was replaced after he reached his two term limit by current President Barack Obama, a former community organizer with a background in constitutional law who served in the Illinois state senate before representing his home state in U.S. Senate and launching a bid for the presidency. Paul may have a nuanced view of what sort of politicians tend to be the best national leaders, but he made it clear at Friday's rally for Perdue that he thinks Americans who have experience working in the private sector make the best lawmakers. 'When I first ran for office people said, "You're just doctor from a small town. What business do you have running for office?" And I said, "You know what? Precisely my attributes and assets are that I have never held any office before," ' Paul told the crowd of people who had gathered to see him speak in the town square of McDonough, Georgia this afternoon. The audience ate up Paul's remarks, clapping loudly, and making supportive comments throughout. 'I haven't been beaten down by the system, and I have a good job and skills, that I can go back to at any point in time I want, so I'm unafraid to do what's right, and I think David Perdue will be the same,' Paul continued. 'And besides, we've already tried a community organizer, and I'd rather have someone that knows how to create jobs rather than just how to spend the money,' he said, taking a jab at Obama. Paul told the audience that the Senate has 'plenty of lawyers' but only a few businessmen. 'I think it would be great to have someone with some common sense, with some business sense to create jobs,' he said. Perdue is a former Reebok CEO. He later served as CEO of Dollar General, where he says he created 20,000 jobs, before starting his own firm in 2011. The wealthy businessman has taken flak from his main opponent in the race, Democrat Michelle Nunn, a non-profit head, for allegedly outsourcing of jobs while he served as the CEO of the a now-defunct textile manufacturing company Pillowtex Corp. In a 2005 deposition obtained by Politico, Perdue said, 'I spent most of my career' outsourcing. Confronted about the remarks by a reporter a few weeks ago, the Georgia Republican doubled down. 'I'm proud of it. This is a part of American business, part of any business,' he said. 'Outsourcing is the procurement of products and services to help your business run,' he added. Nunn has used Perdue's position on outsourcing to undercut his business credentials. 'We need to ask what David's business career really equips him to do,' Nunn said Wednesday at campaign event, according to the Associated Press. 'Is it really to serve the people of Georgia?' she asked. Perdue is in a close race to represent Georgia in the Senate with non-profit head Michelle Nunn. A CNN poll released today shows Nunn up by three points over Perdue. On Friday Paul appeared to subtly refer to the outsourcing controversy in his speech touting Perdue. There's two trillion dollars overseas in business, he said. 'Why isn't it coming home? Because we've got the worst tax code in the world right now,' he posited. 'Until we take over the majority [in the Senate], we will never get a chance to fix the tax code,' he said. 'We have the highest corporate tax in the whole world right now. We are twice what Canada's tax rate is. I never thought I'd be on a stage saying that I'm envious of Canada's tax code,' he said to laughter from the audience. 'We have a regulatory burden of two trillion dollars a year, a tax burden of three trillion dollars a year, and we're not gonna improve it until we figure out one simple thing: You want Georgia to do better? You want Georgia to create jobs? You gotta leave more money in Georgia and send less money to Washington,' he said. Paul told MailOnline in an interview after the event that he thinks the Senate 'could use a fresh perspective' from someone with business experience like Perdue. 'You know, currently we have a president who never ran a business, never really ever employed anybody, or really worked in the private sector. So I think he really, the current president, doesn't have as much of an understanding of how jobs are created,' he said. 'And I think someone from the business community probably has a better understanding of that.' Perdue said in his stump speech Friday that he's running for the Senate because he 'got so fed up with what's coming out of Washington...and I want to do something about it.' 'Like Sen. Paul I'd never even thought about doing this. Never even thought about politics,' he said. It was not until he saw the way the president's policies were affecting his family, that he decided to seek elected office. 'Michelle Nunn wants to be Barack Obama's senator. I want to be your senator,' he told the audience. Georgia has become a pivotal state in the fight for the Senate this election cycle. On Thursday President Obama told an Atlanta radio station that a Nunn win 'means that Democrats keep control of the Senate.' A CNN/ORC International poll released today shows Nunn leading Perdue 47-44 with a three percent margin of error. If neither Nunn nor Perdue are able to neutralize Libertarian candidate Amanda Swafford, who is polling at five percent, before Election Day to reach the state's mandatory 50 percent threshold, the race will go to a run off in January - after the new legislative session in Washington has already commenced. | 7 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

Article: | The 17-year-old boy said he was drunk and targeting taxis in Birmingham on 25 May.
He appeared with three other youths at Birmingham Youth Court on Monday, where he admitted wounding.
The others, two aged 16 and one 15, were convicted of wounding. All four were convicted of conspiring to damage taxis.
The victim was in the back seat of the vehicle as it drove along Bellevue Avenue, Edgbaston.
She was injured when the stone smashed through the glass and hit her.
She was left with multiple fractures and severe bruising to her eye.
The court heard at least three taxis were hit that night, with £1,600 damage caused.
The youths were arrested six weeks after the attack.
In a witness statement to the court, the victim, who does not want to be named, said: "We shouldn't have to put up with this sort of violence.
"If the brick had hit the taxi driver, we could have all been killed."

Write an article that answers the following question: How many yards was the shortest touchdown pass? | On the first play from scrimmage, quarterback Charlie Frye completed a 74-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Braylon Edwards. However, because of a holding penalty on tackle Kevin Shaffer, the play was called back. The Browns would only manage 56 yards of total offense during the first half of play. By halftime, New Orleans was leading the game 9-0, because of three field goals (43 yards in the first quarter, 25 and 21 yards in the second) by kicker John Carney. In the second half, Frye completed an 18-yard touchdown pass to tight end Kellen Winslow, marking his first career touchdown reception. However, the Saints burgeoned their lead, with opposing quarterback Drew Brees completing a 12-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Marques Colston. In the fourth quarter, Frye brought the Browns within two points of the lead when he rushed for a 1-yard touchdown. A 20-yard field goal from Carney put the Saints up for good, 19-14. The Browns were threatening in Saints territory as the clock was winding down, but a Frye pass deflected off Edwards' chest and into the hands of safety Josh Bullocks. With the loss the Browns began their season 0-1. 0-1 against NFC opponents. | 7 | Flan2021 | drop:2.0.0 | zs_opt |

The Hindu holiday of Diwali is India's biggest and brightest national holiday. But Indians around the world come together to celebrate the festival of lights. The five-day celebration of good over evil is as important to Hindus as Christmas is to Christians, and it marks the start of a new financial year for Indian businesses worldwide. But how much do you know about this global holiday, which began Thursday? Here are some facts and stats to help you improve your Diwali literacy. 1. Diwali or Deepavali means rows of lights or lamps. Diwali is known as the festival of lights because of the oil lamps and electric lights that people use to decorate homes, businesses and public spaces. As a celebration of the victory of good over evil and light over darkness, light is an important physical and spiritual symbol of the holiday. 2. The name for a Hindu place of worship is "mandir" Christianity has churches, Judaism has synagogues, Islam has mosques and Hinduism has mandirs. On Diwali, Indians living abroad gather in mandirs for community celebrations. People leave offerings of food at the altars of different gods and gather for communal meals. Some mandirs host fireworks displays. 3. Followers of various religions observe customs related to Diwali. For many Indians, Diwali honors Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth. They light their homes and open their doors and windows to welcome her. In addition to Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs also celebrate Diwali in such countries as Nepal, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Singapore. Legends and customs accompanying Diwali celebrations vary among religions and regions. 4. People spend a lot of time getting ready. Families spend days cleaning and decorate their homes in preparation for Diwali. They also shop for new clothes and outfits to wear to celebrations. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of ways to go about this, from arts and crafts to makeup tricks to help you "shimmer, shine and sparkle." 5. Diwali is a big celebration in England, too. This year, about 30,000 people attended a "switch-on" of more than 6,000 lamps in Leicester to mark the start of Diwali. Indians are the second-largest minority in Britain, according to IBT. 6. An episode of "The Office" was dedicated to Diwali. In one of few depictions of the holiday in American pop culture, bumbling Dunder Mifflin boss Michael Scott encourages his staff to support Kelly Kapoor by attending a local Diwali celebration. Cringe-worthy moments ensue.

Read this: Alloys are often made to alter the mechanical properties of the base metal, to induce hardness, toughness, ductility, or other desired properties. Most metals and alloys can be work hardened by creating defects in their crystal structure. These defects are created during plastic deformation, such as hammering or bending, and are permanent unless the metal is recrystallized. However, some alloys can also have their properties altered by heat treatment. Nearly all metals can be softened by annealing, which recrystallizes the alloy and repairs the defects, but not as many can be hardened by controlled heating and cooling. Many alloys of aluminium, copper, magnesium, titanium, and nickel can be strengthened to some degree by some method of heat treatment, but few respond to this to the same degree that steel does.

Here is an article:
Charles Koch, left (Associated Press) and David Koch (Bloomberg)
Democrats have been talking a lot about the Koch brothers lately, and not just because you can wittily accuse a Republican of being “Addicted to Koch!” (the name is pronounced like coke). Two weeks ago, Greg explained what he saw behind the strategy: “The Koch brothers are a proxy for special interests in general, an easy-to-understand concept designed to create a narrative framework within which voters might reach the general conclusion that GOP candidates’ priorities aren’t in their states’ interests; they are serving something — or someone — else. This is similar to the Dems’ Bain strategy of 2012.”
But the effort to get Americans familiar with the Kochs is also about playing defense, since the brothers are going to drop tens of millions of dollars in races all over the country; one way to counter them is to inoculate against their ads by trying to get voters to say, “Is that one of those Koch brothers ads? Those guys are evil” every time they see one. It’s a big job, because the Kochs — who control the second-largest privately held company in America, with 60,000 employees and more than $100 billion in annual revenue — have pretty much unlimited resources. And we’ll probably never know how much they spend; they’ve unleashed an army of tax lawyers to set up a byzantine network of organizations that makes following all their money almost impossible. To see how it works on the ground and in the air, the Fix’s Jaime Fuller has a report on what the Kochs are doing in Arkansas through Americans for Prosperity, their primary vehicle for electoral spending:
Last week, AFP spent over $700,000 on an ad buy in Arkansas. In the ad, a woman who received a cancellation letter from her insurance company spoke while text reminded viewers that Pryor voted for Obamacare. Once again, the ad ended with the senator’s phone number. Last weekend, 43 AFP volunteers knocked on about 4,000 doors in Northwest Arkansas. On March 20, they have a phone bank scheduled in Benton County, and a canvass planned two days later. In the next few weeks they’ll have booths set up at the Hog Festival Cook-off, the German Heritage Festival, the Arkansas Festival and the Annual England Festival. After five years in the state, Americans for Prosperity nearly has omnipresence down to a science.
The more than $1.4 million Americans for Prosperity has already spent on ad buys in Arkansas — almost eight months before Election Day — is what gets the group notice nationally. Since last fall, the group has spent around $30 million on ad buys in states with close Senate races this midterm season, making it the biggest spender of the 2014 election thus far. It’s gotten even harder to notice their grassroots presence, since they’ve mostly given up on rallies and bus tours in favor of canvassing and phone banks. But without their “grassroots army,” they say all that spending would be for nothing. “Without the strength of our on-the-ground activists, we wouldn’t have achieved what we have achieved,” says Cline.
On the strength of their “grassroots army,” I’ll believe it when I see it — 43 volunteers isn’t going to win you a Senate election — but they’re smart to realize that individual voter contact is much more effective than TV ads, on a per-person basis anyway. But can Democrats actually use the Kochs to their advantage? Brian Beutler says they may be able to, because the brothers’ interests are so vast that it’s hard to find a Republican anywhere who hasn’t benefited from them or done them a favor — a tax break here, a gutted environmental regulation there — and that means you can tie them to the Kochs honestly and simply. “They have increased their fortunes, and advanced their ideological beliefs, with remarkable efficacy, but precisely because their reach is so great they have littered the political terrain in state after state with live ammunition, which will now be aimed at their political beneficiaries.”
One problem, as I’ve noted before, is that at this point most Americans probably have no idea who these guys are. But, in addition to Brian’s excellent point, I’d add a few other that could make turning them into villains possible. First, their primary business — oil — is something Americans often associate with greedy billionaires. Second, unlike some billionaires (such as, say, conservative bete noir George Soros), their political activism is geared in large part to making their own lives easier, with lower taxes for the wealthy and less regulation of their industries high on their priority list (not that I doubt they sincerely believe those policies would turn the United States into a paradise for all; I’m sure they do). Third, they come as a pair, meaning you might be able to get people to remember them even if they can’t recall their names: “Those billionaire brothers? Yeah, I heard of them.” And, fourth, you don’t have to work too hard to convince voters that a couple of mean old billionaires are gaming the system to favor Republicans. It’s a familiar story, reminding people of every attack on the GOP that Democrats have made for decades. There’s a reason Mr. Burns is not a Democrat.
So Democrats might be able to neutralize the help the Kochs are giving to the GOP. Just maybe.

Article: The era saw Libya's return to the international arena. In 1999, Libya began secret talks with the British government to normalise relations. In 2001, Gaddafi condemned the September 11 attacks on the U.S. by al-Qaeda, expressing sympathy with the victims and calling for Libyan involvement in the War on Terror against militant Islamism. His government continued suppressing domestic Islamism, at the same time as Gaddafi called for the wider application of sharia law. Libya also cemented connections with China and North Korea, being visited by Chinese President Jiang Zemin in April 2002. Influenced by the events of the Iraq War, in December 2003, Libya renounced its possession of weapons of mass destruction, decommissioning its chemical and nuclear weapons programs. Relations with the U.S. improved as a result, while UK Prime Minister Tony Blair met with Gaddafi in the Libyan desert in March 2004. The following month, Gaddafi travelled to the headquarters of the European Union (EU) in Brussels, signifying improved relations between Libya and the EU, the latter ending its remaining sanctions in October. In October 2010, the EU paid Libya €50 million to stop African migrants passing into Europe; Gaddafi encouraged the move, saying that it was necessary to prevent the loss of European cultural identity to a new "Black Europe". Removed from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism in 2006, Gaddafi nevertheless continued his anti-western rhetoric, and at the Second Africa-South America Summit in Venezuela in September 2009, joined Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez in calling for an "anti-imperialist" front across Africa and Latin America. Gaddafi proposed the establishment of a South Atlantic Treaty Organization to rival NATO. That month he also addressed the United Nations General Assembly in New York for the first time, using it to condemn "western aggression". In Spring 2010, Gaddafi proclaimed jihad against Switzerland after Swiss police accused two of his family members of criminal activity in the country, resulting in the breakdown of bilateral relations.

News article: Vikings coach: Brett Favre could be a game-time decision vs. Cowboys
Brett Favre a game-time decision?
That's how Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell described the QB on Thursday because of the arm pain that has threatened the consecutive games streak of the 41-year-old.
Favre said Wednesday he could envision a scenario in which he would not play because of lingering pain from tendinitis. Bevell said the decision on whether Favre will play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys "could go up to game time."
"All the times that I've been with him, he's never missed one (start)," Bevell said, via NFL.com. "It's hard to imagine, but he wants to do what's best for the team. We want to do what's best for the team. Could it happen? Yeah, it could happen, but ... it's hard to see."
'DEAD MAN BOWL': Once-favorite Cowboys, Vikings both 1-3 entering game
Favre has started 289 straight regular-season starts dating back to 1992. He said Wednesday he doesn't want to play just to extend the streak.
The Vikings, 1-3, are fighting out of an early-season hole, and a loss on Sunday would seriously hamper their goal to return to the playoffs.
If Favre can't play, the Vikings will turn to backup Tarvaris Jackson.
"If a guy's going to play, you've got to play it the way that you're going to play it. You're not going to be able to hide the quarterback," Bevell said. "If he's got to make the throws, he's got to make the throws. If he can't make them, then you've got to put someone else in there who's going to make them."
Update, 2:45 p.m. ET: Vikings coach Brad Childress said he would officially list Favre as questionable on the injury report.

BBC journalist Jay Merriman Mukoro went missing on Sunday in Barbados. Search teams have yet to find his body but it is believed he drowned. He was on holiday with his wife Olivia, who he married less than a year ago. She is being comforted by family and says experience has left her 'broken'
Write an article based on these highlights. | A BBC documentary filmmaker is feared to have drowned off Barbados. Jay Merriman Mukoro was on a holiday with his wife, who he married less than a year ago, and waded into the sea for a swim on Rockley Beach in Christ Church. The 43-year-old television producer, who recently worked as researcher on Andrew Marr’s ‘History of Modern Britain’, disappeared at 2pm and his wife Olivia told the Barbados Today newspaper that there was only a 15-minute period between seeing him enter the water and realising he hadn’t returned. Missing: Jay Merriman Mukoro pictured with his wife Olivia on their wedding day. She is said to be distraught. A body was located at 6.30am local time near the Hilton Hotel on the same beach, and police are carrying out tests to establish if it is that of Mr Merriman. According to Nation News, Olivia was present at the scene along with police officers and a family support officer. Speaking about the last moments she saw her husband, Olivia said: ‘I was looking at him initially as he walked into the water and I had a book which I looked down at for a while. ‘Then when I looked up I couldn’t see him any more. I thought he must have just been out of my sight and then I saw someone who I thought was him and so I read my book a little bit more. ‘Then I looked up and I saw the person and realized they had a different build and it wasn’t him. ‘It was at that point I started getting worried and I got up and started looking up and down. Then I started to panic because I was looking and wasn’t seeing him on the beach.’ In the hours that followed, Mrs Merriman Mukoro alerted the authorities and fruitlessly searched for him into the night. At the time there was a yellow flag flying on the beach which indicated caution should be taken. Mrs Merriman Mukoro said the waves were high but there were a lot of people on the beach that day, and that Jay was usually very careful and would not go swimming too far out. Worry: Mrs Merriman Mukoro said the waves were high but there were a lot of people on the beach that day, and that Jay was usually very careful and would not go swimming too far out. The psychologist, who has been in. constant contact with the lifeguard, police officers and other. authorities, said: ‘They have been looking since then and did not find. anything. So they tell me they are still looking.’ She. added that she was told that usually a body would be carried to a. certain point if drowned, so it was strange that her husband’s body had. not been found. This was the couple’s first time to. Barbados, and they had flown out to attend a wedding and for Mr Merriman. Mukoro, a journalist with the BBC for the past ten years, to work on a. documentary for BBC Scotland. He has previously worked on Mixed Britannia and the BAFTA award-winning series History of Modern Britain. Mrs. Merriman Mukoro said the couple had just began to ‘imagine our life. together, our future, our children together’ and added: ‘There is not. much hope, but there is a tiny glimmer that some miraculous thing has. happened that we can’t conceive of and that somehow he is somewhere and. that is why we are making posters to put those around. ‘I am feeling incredibly lost, in shock and in pain. There is always that possibility of a miracle. It is a desperate time.’ Vanished: The documentary film maker swam out to sea off Rockley Beach, pictured. She. also said that if her husband had drowned, she would like to find the. body so she could bring it back to Britain for a memorial service ‘so. that people who love him and respect him can be there and celebrate his. life and grieve together’. One. of Jay’s close friends and colleagues, commissioning editor at the BBC,. Tony Phillips, told Barbados Today that his professional bond with Jay. grew quickly over the years. He. said: ‘He charms all who come into contact with him, with his. inquisitive nature and thoughtfulness to others. If only more of us. journalists or otherwise, could be like him. Jay is always kind and. never less than polite.’ BBC. Scotland Editor, Marcus Ryder, said: ‘Jay had been in Glasgow for just a. few weeks and had already become a very popular and respected friend. and colleague. ‘We’ve been. liaising closely with Olivia and the authorities in Barbados since she. told us what happened and we’ve been offering any support we can at what. is a very difficult time for her.’ Anybody who believes they have seen Jay, or anybody matching his description looking disorientated and confused, is being asked to contact Worthing Police Station, Barbados. | 9 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

In 2001 New England Patriots season he, alongside Tom Brady, led the Patriots to their first ever Super Bowl championship, recording 101 catches during the season for 1,199 yards and 5 touchdowns, setting the franchise record for receptions and earning his first and only trip to the Pro Bowl.

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Edouard Louis Joseph, baron Merckx (Dutch pronunciation: ['merks]; born 17 June 1945), better known as Eddy Merckx, is a Belgian former professional road and track bicycle racer who is widely seen as the most successful rider in the history of competitive cycling. His victories include an unequalled eleven Grand Tours (five Tours of France, five Tours of Italy, and a Tour of Spain), all of the five Monuments, three World Championships, the hour record, every major one-day race other than Paris-Tours, and extensive victories on the track. Born in Meensel-Kiezegem, Brabant, Belgium, he grew up in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre where his parents ran a grocery store. He played several sports, but found his true passion in cycling.
Edouard Louis Joseph Merckx was born in Meensel-Kiezegem, Brabant, Belgium on 17 June 1945 to Jules Merckx and Jenny Pittomvils. Merckx was the first-born of the family. In September 1946, the family moved to Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, in Brussels, Belgium in order to take over a grocery store that had been up for lease. In May 1948, Jenny gave birth to twins: a boy, Michel, and a girl, Micheline. As a child Eddy was hyperactive and was always playing outside. Eddy was a competitive child and played several sports, including basketball, boxing, football, and table tennis. He even played lawn tennis for the local junior team. However, Merckx claimed he knew he wanted to be a cyclist at the age of four and that his first memory was a crash on his bike when he was the same age. Merckx began riding a bike at the age of three or four and would ride to school every day, beginning at age eight. Merckx would imitate his cycling idol Stan Ockers with his friends when they rode bikes together. In summer 1961, Merckx bought his first racing license and competed in his first official race a month after he turned sixteen, coming in sixth place. He rode in twelve more races before winning his first, at Petit-Enghien, on 1 October 1961. In the winter following his first victory, he trained with former racer Felicien Vervaecke at the local velodrome. Merckx won his second victory on 11 March 1962 in a kermis race. Merckx competed in 55 races during the 1962 calendar year; as he devoted more time to cycling, his grades at school began to decline. After winning the Belgian amateur road race title, Merckx declined an offer from his school's headmaster to have his exams postponed, and dropped out of school. He finished the season with 23 victories to his name. Merckx was selected for the men's road race at the 1964 Summer Olympics, where he finished in twelfth position. Later in the season, he won the amateur road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Sallanches, France. Merckx remained an amateur until April 1965, and finished his amateur career with eighty wins to his credit.

Non-Linear Editing (NLE) is just a fancy way to say you're no longer editing rolls of film by hand. That said, the term has come to mean mostly high-end, quality video editing software with robust features and controls. Common options include the following: DaVinci Resolve — A new, free, and open-source video editing program. It may keep changing, but the price is enough to make it worth trying. Adobe Premier — One of the classics, Premier works well on Mac and PC. If you use other Adobe products, like Photoshop, you may find Premier easy and intuitive to get used to. Final Cut X Pro — This specific version of Final Cut was considered the industry standard for a long time, though it has gotten weaker with updates. Very popular for Mac computers. Avid — The standard of many professional film editors, Avid has all the functionality of its competitors and an interface made to work on the project with a large team. Knowing the reason for the clip's existence will help you determine which parts of the clip are okay to keep and which parts need to go. You'll also want to consider the clip's current strengths and weaknesses. Strengths should be highlighted, and weaknesses should be masked or cut outright. If the shot, moment, or image isn't adding anything to the story, ditch it. For good video clips, every single frame needs to seem intentional. If you're only using one continuous camera feed, you can still mask over mistakes or slow moments with well-placed text or music. Flashy, obnoxious transitions are the hallmark of many poor editors. Ditch the snazzy flashbulb and stick to simple fades, dissolves, and hard cuts (no transition at all) when switching between clips. If you want to use a fancy effect, use it to transition in and out of the clip at the very beginning and end. Never use the novelty cuts and transitions—they just take focus away from your clip. The rule of thirds comes from photography, and is used to compose great frames for film or photos: mentally divide the frame with two horizontal lines and two vertical lines, so you have nine even boxes on your image. The rule of thirds states, simply, that the best images place items on these lines. When titling or adjusting the image, try to line up your text, the horizon, and special effects with these imaginary guidelines. Some video-recording hardware, such as smartphones, have a "Grid" option which places a three-by-three grid of squares over the camera interface. The purpose of a good editor is to disappear, and this is doubly true for a short video clip. Use a basic color correcter, like your program's "color balance" effect (they all have one), to make the footage smooth and attractive, lower the volume on the music so that you can still hear the camera audio, and make sure that, when played together, the sound is not too loud. Remember, you want people focused on content, not why the music is too loud. Just like video, audio needs to be faded in and out to sound natural. If you're only recording simple, one-take clips, then this doesn't need to apply; for all other shoots, knowing that you'll be editing a video later should make you a much more diligent camera person. Some things to consider include the following: Always shoot 5 seconds of nothing before and after shot (also known as "run-in" and "run-out" footage). This gives you crucial editing footage to splice with other shots. Take a few shots of "coverage," or the setting around you, to which you can cut in order to hide any mistakes in the footage. Never skimp on audio; use a dedicated microphone instead of a camera microphone, and consider mastering the audio separately.
Summary: | Use a quality, professional non-linear editing system. Consider the point of your clip. Trim the video to be as short as possible without losing quality. Make all transitions as smooth as possible. Remember the rule of thirds, especially when titling. Balance color, sound, and music. Keep editing in mind next time you go shoot a clip. | 0 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
