Have Video and Film Have Lost Their Value? A PVC Roundtable Discussion

Can people still make a living in this industry?

Richard Harrington has worked in just about every area and aspect of video production. His current focus is around exploring the fusion of photography and video, but he’s been involved in countless video projects of all sizes. Additionally, his tutorials and books cover practically every area of the industry, and he’s had a hand in helping influence and even design some of the tools that are used by video professionals. Suffice to say, here’s someone whose experience and insight around what it means to be a working video professional is unmatched.

It’s for that reason that his recent article about how and why video and film have lost their value is so relevant. In this must read piece, Harington documents and details the many ways in which video content has seemingly lost the value it used to have associated with it, and explains how that has changed the narrative for both content creators and audiences. He even posits that plastic is now worth more than a human thought, and laments how rampant consumerism has become.

Harrington gets into some of the causes and solution to these issues, but the bigger questions to consider are around what such sentiments mean for working professionals. Art Adams and Chris Zwar have already published their own responses to Harrington’s argument, but it was a worthwhile to see what the rest of the PVC authors thought about this. Are we truly in a “race to the bottom” when it comes to the services professionals are offering? Can people still make a living in this industry? Is Harrington being overly pessimistic about where we are as an industry, or simply laying out the truth? How can and should these answers impact the approach of a working professional?

This is nothing new. I was predicting this back in the 90s when Avid first put uncompressed SD into a computer. We all know Moore’s law. I knew then eventually editing software would be on everyone’s home computer. When I realized this was going to happen, I did what I always do which is look for a historical model for comparison. So I flashed back to the 80s when I was running my father’s lock shop. I decided to get some flyers made and mail them out for promotion. I had to go to a print shop (Millennials may have to look that up) and they had their graphic artist mock up a design. It wasn’t cheap. And if I wanted anything changed, it cost even more. Then a print master would be made and the flyers run off from it. The entire operation cost a lot of money. And then came desktop publishing.

Jumping back to the 90s, there were no more print shops. If you wanted to make a flyer for your child’s birthday party, you mocked it up on your computer and maybe printed it out at Kinkos. However, if you wanted a professional looking flyer for your business, you hired a graphic designer. What this told me was that there would still be work for good editors even after the tools became ubiquitous.

That is what led to the creation of Alpha Dogs. We focused on selling the talent from day one as opposed to the big facility model of pimping whatever expensive gear they owned. That left me with the challenge of figuring out the least expensive way to operate without letting quality suffer. That’s a challenge that still exists today. But why worry about quality?

The consumer will pay for quality, but only if they know what that quality is. When the consumer isn’t aware of the difference in quality, they will go for the cheapest option. I truly believe Ikea exists because we did away with wood shop classes in US schools. If the consumers were aware of the difference in quality construction in furniture, we would still have more high end furniture stores in business.

For an example closer to our universe, let’s look at writing. Who on this planet can’t afford a pencil and some paper? Very few. However there still some writers making a decent living off of it. Why? Because from the time we are little we are constantly learning to read. Almost any adult could immediately spot the difference between a 5th grader’s paper and a college graduate’s. So we will pay for quality in writing.

So let’s say for the sake of argument that my theory is correct and people will pay for quality they are aware of. Then we need to ask ourselves what we bring to the table, and why the consumer isn’t aware of it. I am primarily a colorist these days. For much of my career that was a dark art whose methods were hidden to all but a select few who had access to million dollar coloring suites. Steve Hullfish finally unlocked the vault with his color correction books. The tools were taken from million dollar rooms into $300,000 Avid Symphony rooms, and now into free software. Why should a consumer pay for it when their child has the same software?

I’ll let you in on a little secret. If our industry fails, we are to blame for our own demise. Our passion for keeping the “illusion of magic” in filmmaking has kept us from educating our consumers. And now they think anyone can do it, which, to some extent, they can. So what do we, as seasoned professionals, bring to the plate? For my own part, I bring experience. I have made many of the mistakes and figured out how to avoid them, that new artist still have to run into. I also bring many years of accumulated aesthetic judgement. And finally, I have started, via my “Why We Need Color Correction” videos to try to make the consumer more critical of color in the content they view. My hope is that if they are aware of what a colorist adds to the final product, they will be willing to pay for it.

I think Richard has a very narrow definition of “value”, describing it as “content for sale, particularly to an end consumer…”. I suppose if you’re in the business of creating video content that you then market and sell to end consumers, then yes, your model is probably in trouble. But how many people making a living, making moving images, are involved in that corner of the market?

I started on the indie filmmaking side where there was never much money, just a lot of art-for-artmaking’s sake. Sometimes I received grants, sometimes I won prizes, maybe I sold some DVDs, but the goal wasn’t a direct-to-consumer sales model. And now, there are more film arts organizations offering support and grants than there has ever been. There are more festivals than anyone could ever keep track of.

I’ve definitely seen a shift towards much lower budgets on the corporate/ commercial side of work in the Bay Area, mostly because of changes in technology lowering barriers to entry for new producer, changes that are well documented on PVC. But I’ve also seen lots of production workers head into the corporate video departments at Sony, Apple, Genentech, etc. People are still making a living with cameras.

In LA, I was on the pitch-circuit with a scripted drama series last year, there were about 60 entities buying original scripted dramatic content, the most there’s ever been. I ended up selling the series to one of these places, and most of my friends from the early aught’s indie film scene are doing the same thing. This has everything to do with Netflix, Amazon and HBO changing the landscape and value-ing content in entirely new ways. And most importantly, I think, it speaks to the value of the Writer’s Guild. Remember the WGA strike of 2007?

That was about valuing and paying content creators (aka the writers) at the same rate and wages for streaming video content as they were getting in their contracts for broadcast. This turned out well for writers and anyone hoping their creative work would continue to be valued monetarily.

I’m struck by this closing argument:

We live in a society where the act of creation is essentially worthless. Ideas hold no value, they are merely vehicles to attach ads to or drive purchase of physical goods.

Consumerism is rampant. Education and intelligence are plummeting. We have confused convenience for freedom, access for knowledge.

Yes and no. Don’t tell anyone at Apple or Disney that ideas and creativity are worthless, you’ll be laughed out of town. Besides, declinism is nothing new.

But it’s not enough to have an idea. A buddy of mine once said, “I don’t see what the big deal is with having an idea. I have dozens of ideas a day, hundreds a week. The trouble is, only a few of them are ever really any good.” (He was a video hardware designer when he said it. Now he’s an IP lawyer. Make of that what you will.)

Once there was a Golden Age of being a video person. It was an age when gear was expensive, fragile, and finicky. You needed serious technical skills to make it work, and the cost of it meant that there wasn’t a lot of it about to build those skills on. Folks who wound up in production got there through a highly restrictive filtering process, constrained by cost and availability, mediated by gatekeepers already in the business.

As a consequence, video people (I’ll use that term as a catch-all for anyone involved in moving images) could command high prices. The barriers to entry were so steep there wasn’t a lot of competition. Clients paid the big bucks because they didn’t have a choice, and though a lot of that money went towards the constant upgrading of ruinously expensive, rapidly depreciating “big iron” gear, there was enough profit, percentage-wise, to live comfortably on. Likewise for day players: gigs paid well because labor was a comparatively small fraction of the cost. Look at those cameras! Look at those 1” VTRs! Of course this is gonna cost you!

The beginning of the end was in the fall of 1995, when the first DV camcorders came out. By 1997 we had the DPS Spark, and the world where big iron was needed to do anything of quality started to crumble, though denial was rampant and continued almost to the present day. Now you can buy a smartphone with UHD recording capability that shoots good-enough video (I’ll come back to that) that in most conditions most folks can’t tell you aren’t even using a “real” camera.

Forget My Mom bought me a RED camera so now I’m a DP, go buy yourself a used iPhone 6S for $410 or so and be a DP. Wanna be an editor as well? Grab ShotCut for, um, $0, and run it on Mac, Windows or Linux. Or get Resolve for, um, $0, and call yourself a colorist while you’re at it. Get yourself an outfit, and be a cowboy too. Clothes make the man, and gear makes the pro: sales and marketing has been telling us that for years, and who are we (or our clients) to disagree? Equipment cost and availability aren’t gatekeepers any more: anyone can play, and lots do. So competition goes up and costs come down: that’s the invisible hand, busy slapping you silly. That’s why film and video “have lost their value”, not any supposed cultural entropy.

If you previously were part of the video priesthood, democratization can be a bitch.

In the Golden Age, if you had creativity and a camera, the world was your oyster, because having access to a camera already placed you among the elite.  Now it’s just your idea against everyone else’s idea, baby. The rest of the hoi polloi are busy having ideas, too (with enough monkeys texting away on social media, eventually they’ll write the entire canon of Will Shakespeare, Will Self, David Foster Wallace, and maybe Shonda Rimes for good measure), and these days they all have cameras in their phones.

In the Golden Age the harsh weeding-out process meant that very few people — with ideas or not — ever got the point where they were credible players in the market (however you define it: freelancers, facilities, indie filmmakers, etc.). Now any goofball can pick up a smartphone with a half-decent camera and shoot a watchable picture; mad tech skillz are no longer necessary. OK, many of the goofballs don’t really know what they’re doing; why are they stealing your clients? Consider: if people stealing your customers don’t know diddly about staging, blocking, composition, lighting, rhythm, and drama, why on earth do you expect the customers to know the difference between good video and bad? Lots of folks commissioning creative work don’t have a clue: haven’t you read http://clientsfromhell.net/ ? Haven’t you got a story or two like that yourself?

But even that’s not the whole problem. For 90% of the gigs out there, clients don’t need freakin’ Kubrick or Tarkovsky, or even Shane Carruth (whose feature “Upstream Color” was shot on a Panasonic GH2, fercryinoutloud). They need a CEO talking head, shot more or less in focus, droning on about something of no conceivable interest. They need a local car-dealer spot marginally less awful than the other local car-dealer spots. They need corporate junket videos: footage of execs and salemen drunkenly frolicking, cut to the producer’s favorite unlicensed classic-rock ballad, to be screened to boozed-up attendees at the end of the final party (it’s not about “Citizen Kane”, it’s about “dude, I saw myself onscreen, and it was AWESOME!”). They don’t need a film-school grad, they need the media analog of a burger-flipper. So, yeah, that monkey with a 4K-capable smartphone can do the job just as well as a grizzled veteran with 20 years of deep technical experience and a real camera — at least from the client’s perspective. Great is great, sure, but good enough is good enough.

True, there is still seriously top-notch work going on. Go watch BroadchurchBoss, or Mr. Robot, for example. But if all you’re shooting is a catfood commercial, you don’t need Gregg Toland or Emmanuel Lubezki to do it, nor the high-end hardware, and clients have figured that out.

You wanna be a priest? Fine, go join the priesthood. But video nowadays is like basketball. Anyone can afford a basketball, and the UI on a basketball is so simple even a child can use one. So there are an awful lot of people out there playing basketball, but there are still only 30 teams in the NBA where you can earn a living at it.

My point is this: the Golden Age is over, full stop. It was fun while it lasted but those days are gone.

What to do?

  1. Aim for those few gigs in a very crowded field where you still can make a decent living strictly by being “a video person”. To succeed at this, you need to be (a) rather a bit better than average and (b) exceedingly capable at marketing yourself. Oh, and (c) a bit of luck doesn’t hurt, either.  Sadly, the math shows that most of us will fail at step (a). Steps (b) and (c) are left as an exercise for the reader. Good luck.
  2. Organize. Unions and guilds have been the traditional bulwarks of the little guy against the implacable forces of the market. Sadly, these stabilizing forces have lost much of their power in the current environment. None of my friends in IATSE Local 600 (cameramen) are very happy these days; there’s just too much outside competition from wanna-bees for the union to carry the bargaining weight it once did. My broadcast buddies in NABET are faring somewhat better — there’s less competition to labor in the bowels of a TV station — but it’s still not the gravy train it used to be. Often, your best bet is an industry association (locally, we have OMPA) where like-minded folks can watch each other’s backs, share tips and gigs, and engage in the never-ending (if sometimes seemingly futile) task of educating clients as why it’s worth hiring actual professionals.
  3. Don’t be a “video person”, be a video-using person. The flip side of democratization is that all the power and quality of today’s tools is readily available at low cost. You don’t need to be a full-time video person to use video to tell your stories or make a living; video can be part of your collection of tools, not the whole toolkit in and of itself. Yes, that’s empowering and terrifying in equal amounts. Welcome to the future.

This idea that film and video have lost their value isn’t anything new. It’s something we’ve been dealing with since the DV days. I remember discussions back in those days with Betacam owners who were frustrated with people buying $5000 or $8000 DV cameras under-cutting them for shooting jobs. I also remember post houses who owned very expensive Digital Betacam decks lamenting the fact that they were buying DV-Cam decks that were a fraction of the cost and using the crap out of those while their expensive D-Beta decks went unused. As mentioned above, something similar happened with printing and graphic design when desktop publishing came into the mainstream. It’s just something that happens with an industry as a whole changes, as time changes; technology gets cheaper and they are more people wanting to work in that business. I think the film and video business is currently in a place where part of the devaluation comes from so many people wanting to work in the business and so many people willing to work in the business for very, very, very low rates. Many markets have seen a huge increase in the amount of schools and universities offering degrees in media production. I have to use two hands to count the number of schools in my small market of Nashville, Tennessee dumping media production graduates into the market. Many of them don’t stay as they move to Los Angeles or New York but many of them do stay and they’re all looking for work. Most of them are willing to work for very low rates which is sad when you consider many of them have very big student loans in which to pay off. Working in the industry that only pays a fraction of what it used to pay.

What to do about this? I have no idea. I don’t think there’s any easy answer when it comes to shifting the mindset of an entire industry. We’l have to have budgets go back up before many producers are willing to part with more of their dollars. But even if budgets did go way up they know they can get work much cheaper than in years past. Many of us “older folks” in our market encourage younger people working not to go rock bottom on the rates and don’t get into an undercutting war with others. It’s easy to say but not easy to do. It’s sometimes a difficult practice when you’re faced with making $1000 for a couple of weeks work versus not making anything. For many they would rather make that low rate doing what they love rather than make more money delivering pizzas.

Another interesting phenomenon that may be contributing to the devaluation of our industry might be all of the online creative networks that seem to exist thanks to the internet. That’s a network where an entity comes together to create a place for brands, agencies anyone needing creative content to be able to offer up their project to the lowest bidder. Sometimes it’s graphic work, sometimes it’s design but often it’s video production. I won’t name any names specifically for the (okay here’s a article about Fiverr) but we all know them and we all have seen them. Some of us might have even worked (or tried to work) for them. I’ll end my thoughts on this topic with a transcript of an online chat I recently had with one such network. There was a Facebook discussion going on about a topic very similar to this roundtable on the devaluation of film and video. Someone linked to this particular creative network and how they are asking people to create full advertising campaigns (in a sense) for free so a brand or agency can evaluate them and pick the one they like. Only then does one person get paid. This seemed like a crazy way to do business so I signed on with them and had a chat just trying to figure out exactly how it works. While it’s not always done that way … it often is so if the chat is to be believed there are a lot of people producing a lot of content for free and never paid for their time and work. That’s great for the brand but bad for the creator.

In the transcript below the name of the network has been redacted. I still love what I do as does many of us in the film and video/content creation business. I don’t think many of us make the money that we once did or even dreamed of when we started this journey but as long as many of us make a decent living we will continue doing what we love. It does still beat delivering pizzas.

Here’s the transcript of that conversation. I told them at the end that I was going to use this as part of an article. There was no reaction.

Creative Network: Hey! How can I help you?
Me: I’m a video creator and I’d like to join your community but I have a couple of questions.

CN:Sure! What can I help answer?
Me: After the brief is created and during the “production period” how many creators are creating content? Is it like they are competing to create the best production?

CN: Correct. The brief is currently open to all members. Some briefs are only open to our US creatives while others are only open to our European creatives.
Me: How many member would that be? Members?

CN: We currently have over 378,000 members as shared on ………
Me: I’m very confused. So after the brief is created it is put out into the community and anyone can create content for what the brand is looking for?

CN: Correct
Me: It wouldn’t be 300,000 I’m guessing but is there any limit to how many can create?

CN: Nope. We don’t set a limit as to how many can create.
Me: So during the “selection phase” they might be going over many (hundreds?) of submissions?

CN: Correct. The clients like it that way. They get to really select content that fits their needs as well as get additional ideas for how people see their brand and will often pay creatives to use their content outside of the selections they make for the brief.
Me: Thanks. What exactly are they seeing during the selection phase? Are these proposals from the community?

CN: The briefs themselves are pretty self explanatory of what a brand is looking for. It varies from project to project.
Me: Yes I understand that but I don’t quite understand what is made by the community during the Production Phase. Is it a treatment/pitch/budget/proposal for what the creative will produce if chosen by the brand during the Selection Phase?

CN: Once again that varies from brief to brief. If you join the community you can look at several of our open briefs. You can also look at old briefs and the content that was selected by the brand. To give you a more comprehensive answer to your question.
Me: I understand that … but say the Brand is wanting a 30 second animated preroll …. during the production period do Creatives actually make the 30 second preroll or put together a pitch/proposal in hopes of being selected to THEN produce the preroll ad? Just thought it’d be easier to understand with an example. Thanks ….

CN: I fully understand your question. Sometimes a brand just wants a pitch, sometimes they want the preroll, sometimes they are looking for stills along with preroll, sometimes they are looking for nothing to do with film. It all really varies from brief to brief and we work very hard to make the brief as clear and concise as possible for the creatives in our community. If there was a set process your question would be much easier to answer, but since there is no specific one way we do things, I encourage personal exploration through the briefs to get a deeper understanding of what has been asked for in the past.
Me: Thanks. I can see lots of Creatives doing a pitch during the Production Period but actually DOING the full work seems a bit …. much.

CN: Well we have many creatives that love doing the full work.
Me: Sounds like a way to get a lot of free work. Who would do the full work without any guarantee they will be paid for it?

CN: Over 145,000 pieces have been generated on our platform, a large majority of them being completed pieces. I can only speak to my personal experience as a professional, but I don’t really believe this is the proper forum to be having this discussion.
Me: What? Why? I’m just trying to understand how it works. I’m guessing …………. takes a percentage of the final budget?

CN: Nope. All money put forward for the community goes 100% to the community in a very specific timeline outlined in our membership agreement.
Me: How does ………….. make money then?

CN: There are many ways we generate revenue, but our top priority is serving our creative community with opportunities for career growth and fostering connections with large brands.
Me: OK, thanks.

Rethinking the Music Video

What if the graphics in a music video were driven by the music, instead of a filmmaker?

At last year’s TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design) conference, Jakob Trollback – director of the highly innovative motion graphics studio Trollback+Company – gave a talk and showed a sample of a different approach to take for music videos. His idea is that the video could and should be an expression of the song, not an expression of a filmmaker’s high concept, or for that matter the low concept of MTV demographics. The video above realizes this vision with the song Moonlight in Glory by David Byrne and Brian Eno from their groundbreaking album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.

Trollback isn’t the first to take this approach. Imaginary Forces created a legendy piece honoring film soundtracks for the Oscars which also used abstract graphics apparently motivated by the music, while even earlier Digital Kitchen made a great piece for Sony’s digital theatre sound system which was very similar in flavor to the piece above (if anyne can dig up a link to video of either piece, I’ll add it here). But it’s an interesting, thoughtful approach nonetheless.

Watch: Pro-EU group create 'the campaign Remain should have run'

Pro-Remain political campaign group Best for Britain has launched a £250,000 advertising campaign created by social change communications agency Shape History.

The ‘Where We Stand’ campaign opposes the negative portrayal of the European Union.

It makes a positive case for Europe aimed at persuading those who are undecided about Brexit to support staying in the EU ahead of a final say on the divisive issue.

The video has been watched almost one million times, with one in four people watching the full 75 second video online, while the paid ad campaign has more than doubled the campaign's reach and engagement.

Shape History produced the campaign, which covers nine projects in six counties over a period of six weeks. The agency has also produced more than 90 supporting assets that will be distributed across social media over the next few weeks.

Ed Fletcher, MD at Shape History, said: "At a time when politicians have lost so much of the public’s trust, we wanted to focus on the people that really matter, and create a platform for them to tell their unheard stories."

Naomi Smith, CEO of Best for Britain, added: "Shape History were given a tough assignment: to create the campaign Remain should have run in 2016.

"With the process of leaving the EU at a critical juncture, and with the country teetering on the edge of a cliff-edge Brexit, a campaign that could engage with undecided voters and get out the message that the EU stands with us was vital.

"The end result was an ad campaign that avoided the pitfalls of shouting our beliefs to the converted, and instead focused on strengthening the country’s understanding of how Europe supports us and what the EU is all about."

Phase two of the campaign will include projections of campaign messaging and opinions of the local people featured on buildings in Manchester, Bradford, Stoke, Swansea and London.

Low cost prescription drugs are readily available from online pharmacies. In fact, many U.S. citizens are turning to Internet pharmacies as a means of avoiding increasingly exorbitant prescription drug prices at their local drug stores. At first glance, Internet pharmacies may seem like a convenient bargain and a way to "beat the system" when it comes to getting your drugs at a low cost.

The reality of Internet pharmacies, however, quite different. In fact, you should seriously think twice before purchasing any medication from one of these establishments. Studies have shown that when you fill your prescription at an Internet pharmacy, you don't always get the medications you think you're getting. Many Internet pharmacies are disreputable, providing unwitting customers with counterfeit medications, placebos or medicines that have other ingredients added. When you buy from an Internet pharmacy, you may be putting yourself in danger.

Low Cost Medications Obtained Locally

The big problem with Internet pharmacies is that they're not subject to the normal rules and regulations that local pharmacies are. Plus, there's no reliable way to regulate their operations.

10 nuggets of customer data to collect

Easy ways to collect customer data for email marketing

Ten insightful nuggets of customer data you should be collecting for your marketing

Assuming you’ve already collected a name and email address for all of your contacts, what other information would make a big difference to the quality of your marketing?

Essentially, the more information you can collect, the better. The majority of Brits (84 per cent) aged 18-34 don’t mind sharing personal data with brands – just as long as they get something worthwhile in return. Moreover, 59 per cent of all UK adults are happy to give brands personal customer data if they’re informed of how it will be used.

We’ve already given you some ideas as to how you can collect customer data. So, what data should business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) companies collect? Here are ten insightful nuggets of customer data that could transform your next campaign.

Useful data for B2C campaigns:

1. Age

Most brands have products or services that will appeal to some age groups more than others. Banks, for example, target their ‘Over 50s Life Assurance’ policies towards – you guessed it – customers aged over 50. Likewise, clothing retailers can segment their contact lists by age to send out emails promoting the freshest new lines and mature, classic ranges to the appropriate audiences. Additionally, a unique birthday email to each contact is extremely effective.

2. Gender

Gender stereotyping is a tightrope you might not want to attempt to cross; however, with analysis and segmentation you can pull off gender targeting without resorting to lazy old conventions. Instead of simply splitting your email list up by male and female, you could drill down into deeper analysis to discover subgroups within each gender based on purchase history or pages viewed on your website.

3. Interests

Some of the most valuable customer data that B2C marketers can collect is the hobbies and interests of their contacts. Not only can this make your emails far more personalised (for example, your football-themed emails to contacts without known interests in football were probably ignored or overlooked), but the more you notice a particular interest popping up in your data, the more you might consider tweaking your offering towards that group.

Useful data for both B2C AND B2B campaigns:

4. Postal address

Whether it’s at home or at work that they have an interest in your product or service, it’s always worth having a qualified mail address for your contacts. Your emails might target recipients based on their geographical location (a discount at a certain branch, for example), or you might just want to conduct a direct mail campaign alongside your email marketing.

5. Mobile number/DDI

For the same reason, a mobile number or DDI number will allow you to conduct text message marketing and telemarketing campaigns – providing the contact has given permission for you to do so (ensure the number is not on the TPS/CTPS list).

6. Job

In the same way that you might want to segment your contact list by subgroups of age or gender, both B2C and B2B companies could do the same with job titles. In B2C, you could base your entire email design around a particular job role, or maybe you have a product that people who work in offices will love. It’s B2B, however, where this information is crucial. You must know who it is in prospective businesses that you’re trying to get your marketing message in front of, and that’s going to be based around a series of job titles and roles.

Useful data for B2B campaigns:

7. Pain points

It can be really difficult for B2B marketers to come up with the best angle, the best words, and the best offer to send to prospective new customers in businesses. After all, they’re usually at work when they’ll receive your emails, so they’re going to be busy; your email has to grab and entice them from the off, answering the question “how can you help me?”

What better way to do that than by getting them to TELL you what their pain points are before you put your emails together? Ask them to provide information on their pain points when they sign up for your emails, or alternatively include the option to do so in your welcome emails.

8. Industry sector

Whereas job titles and job roles are great for extremely targeted campaigns, sometimes you won’t want to get that specific. In those instances, knowing your prospects’ industry sectors is perfect.

9. Employee band

Not only does this information allow you to segment your prospect list, but you can improve the results of your email campaigns by removing the chaff from the wheat. For instance, say a cleaning company has collected a list of 5,000 contact emails at businesses. Their service is high-quality, so ideally they’re looking to get big contracts at larger offices and establishments, whilst avoiding the one-man-bands and small, one-room office businesses. The ability to segment businesses by employee bands such as ‘1-5 employees’, ‘5-20 employees’ and so on up to ‘200+ employees’ is pivotal.

10. Turnover band

In the same way as employee bands, if your business only has very expensive services, it’s unlikely that prospects with turnovers less than the cost of your product will be interested. If you can segment your contact list by their turnover, this also gives you an indicator of its employee band.

With all of this potential data out there to gather, there’s really no excuse for not knowing your customers and prospects!

How to Monitor Your Batch Job

A Batch Job is a program or series of programs that are processed in batch mode and intended to be executed by the Windows Command Interpreter. In many instances, a Batch Job is executed at times when a computer is idle or not in used because of its heavy demands on the computer.

Even though a Batch Job is set up so they can run to completion without manual intervention, it still requires an extra step so you can tell if the program has ran successfully or not. Aside from visiting the history logs of your computer, below are other ways to monitor your Batch program.

The Batch’s ERRORLEVEL or most commonly known as return codes is one of the ways to capture the error in your program. In general rule, an ERRORLEVEL “0” means the command has been executed successfully, and an ERRORLEVEL “1” or “higher” usually tells that there is something wrong in your script.

To display the error on your screen, you should use the  “@Echo On” at the start of the .bat file and before this code:

ECHO "There's an error in your script"

For occasions that you can not attend to your screen while the program is running, you can also direct the results/error in a log file using this command:

IF %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 ECHO %errorlevel% > error.log

However, the suggestions above can consume your valuable time and energy specially if you’re running lots of programs. So to free up your hands and give you more time to do other important tasks, you can use PushMon to automatically alert you each time your program has stop running or did not run at your specified time. PushMon is a Software as a Service (SaaS) tool where you only need to generate a URL to call, set the alert method of your choice such as email or SMS text, etc and specify the time that your batch should be running.

Here’s a screenshot of a PushMon Dashboard. After you set up, add the following commands to your program.

Herbert "Robert" Ryan Burns

October 15, 1928 ~ October 20, 2019 (age 91)

Herbert Ryan Robert (Bob) Burns

October 15, 1928 - October 20, 2019

It is with sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of Bob, who passed away on October 20, 2019 after a brief hospitalization.

Born on October 15, 1928 in the Town of Banbridge in County Down, Northern Ireland, into a family of five. Bob is predeceased by his wife, Betty Burns, who passed away on May 23, 2015, and by his parents, Herbert and Mary Burns (nee Reid). He is survived by his brother, Hugh, and his sister-in-law, Margaret.

At a very young age, Bob joined the Army Cadets, and at age 17 joined the British Army Royal Artillery, in which he rose to the rank of Sergeant Instructor. Bob completed his army service with an honourable discharge as Instructor of Gunnery after serving in Germany, and into Reserve Status.

While stationed in Hammersmith, near London and close to Commonwealth Postgraduate School of Medicine, nurses would come to the Sergeant's mess for a dance. Betty, one of those nurses, became the love of Bob's life, a match made in heaven that lasted 62 years.

After the war, Bob started his career working for a Phillips dealership in Cornwall, and after moving to Canada, for one in Richmond.

In retirement, Bob and Betty came to Qualicum Beach and eventually bought a lot from Hank Bennett on Balsam, where they built their dream home and gardens. Through an Irish friend, Bob and Betty joined St. Columba Church, where Bob served as an Elder.

Bob and Betty also served the community by volunteering with Citizens on Patrol and by canvassing for the Canadian Cancer Society. Private cremation has been arranged and a celebration of Bob's life will be held at St. Columba on November 2, 2019 at 11:00 am. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Arizona Quail Hunting Forecast 2019

With three species of quail and an abundance of public land on which to chase them, Arizona is a bucket-list destination for many quail hunters. Scaled, Gambel’s and Mearns’ quail can all be found here, and while persistent drought conditions in recent years have hit scaled and Gambel’s numbers particularly hard, recent wet weather has improved the outlook some, according to Larisa Harding, small game program manager with the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

“We had a really nice wet winter in 2018-2019,” says Harding. “As a result, Gambel's quail populations appear to be doing well. We've seen increased numbers of broods and coveys out on the landscape this summer compared to last year, and though they haven't rebounded to numbers seen in more wet years (like the 1980s with several consecutive wet winters), their numbers should be better than they were in the 2017-2018 season following a very dry winter and extended drought.”

Harding says scaled quail likely also benefited from winter and spring rains in Arizona, but they also rely on the monsoons for reproduction, “and we've had a relatively "non-soon" season, meaning it's been very dry across most of the state this summer, so I would expect their numbers to be average,” says Harding. “We had fairly high overwinter survival of Mearns' quail, but with weak and spotty monsoons this summer, their numbers may be at or below average. That said, there are still likely to be pockets of the state that received good moisture this summer where hunters can find Mearns' quail.”

According to Harding, overall, Arizona’s upland habitat is fairly dry going into fall.
“Because we had a very wet winter, herbaceous vegetation was abundant, particularly the invasive Globe chamomile, but most herbaceous growth has cured and is primed for fire,” says Harding. “When it was green, it harbored lots of insects for Gambel's quail chicks, but now it both hinders and hides quail movements on the ground. There are pockets where precipitation has been better, but conditions are generally very dry, one of our driest in recent years, throughout the state.”
However, Harding reports that Gambel's quail coveys and broods have been prolific on the landscape this spring and summer. “We've seen chicks of all ages, which may suggest that the hatch was spread out over time, or it may suggest that some pairs have been able to produce more than one brood,” says Harding. “In any event, there have been lots of Gambel's quail on the ground, and there are now lots of young birds running around on the landscape.”
Arizona does springtime breeding call counts for Gambel's quail using roadside surveys, and according to Harding, this year’s  Gambel's quail call counts were up 125% over the long-term average. “So we're hopeful with what we've seen on the ground this spring/summer that Gambel's quail hunting should be improved over last year.”

Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever West Region Director Al Eiden concurs.

“The winter rains and spring weather where pretty good this year in the desert, so I would guess our Gambel's birds will be better than last year,” says Eiden. “Based on what I saw the summer rains were a bit spotty so our Mearns’ hunting are likely to be spotty as well.  Our scaled quail have been down for a while, and while there are birds out there I would expect that the Gambel's and Mearns’ are going to provide more opportunity for folks.”

Harding says Gambel's quail can be found many places where there's open desert country south of the Mogollon Rim, but for scaled or Mearns' quail, southeastern Arizona is the place to be. “Places like Patagonia, Sonoita, or in some of the sky island isolated mountain ranges would be good starting points,” Harding suggests.

“Get out and do some scouting if you can beforehand,” suggests Harding. “For Mearns' quail, try hunting some of the fringe sky islands in the southern part of the state to avoid areas that traditionally have high use. For Gambel's and scaled quail that don't hold nicely for dogs on point, try flushing the covey and then hunting down singles.”

Columbia County Oregon

Columbia County is bordered on the east by the Columbia River, on the south by Multnomah County and Washington County, and on the west by Clatsop County. The southern County line is approximately 30 minutes from Portland, the largest metropolitan area in Oregon. The western County line is approximately 30 minutes from the Pacific coast.

The County's northern and eastern boundaries are outlined by 62 miles of Columbia River shoreline. Columbia County enjoys the longest stretch of the Columbia River in the State of Oregon. The Columbia River is a major route of ocean-going vessels and is a popular fishing ground, as well as a popular boating and windsurfing river.

Facts regarding the early history of Columbia County are few. It is known that a New England trading vessel, the Columbia Rediviva, commanded by Captain Robert Gray arrived in the summer of 1792 with the first Euro-Americans to see the County's timbered shoreline. In 1805, the explorers Lewis and Clark traveled and camped along the County's Columbia River shoreline.

Carved out of Washington County in 1854, its past was tied to commercial fishing, water transportation and lumber. Industrialization has accelerated in recent years but timber, dairy and horticulture remain important. Natural gas fields have been identified and are producing.

The County offers the only two marine parks in Oregon: Sand Island on the Columbia River and J.J. Collins Memorial Marine Park on the Multnomah Channel.

Country Media, Inc.

Home of the St. Helens Chronicle and Clatskanie Chief.

The Chronicle is proud to be Columbia County’s oldest newspaper and oldest business.
The paper began in 1881 as the Oregon Mist, which eventually became the St. Helens Mist.
The St. Helens Mist combined on April 7, 1933, with a relative startup, the St. Helens Sentinel, which began in 1926.
For more than three decades, The Sentinel-Mist was published every Friday with a yearly subscription rate of$2. At one time, it claimed to have the largest weekly circulation in Oregon.
Paul S. Paulson started the St. Helens Chronicle – a free one-page sheet paper – in 1936 and distributed it free of charge every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
By the 1950s, The Chronicle began charging an annual subscription rate of $2.50.
On July 1, 1968, The Chronicle purchased The Sentinel-Mist and dubbed itself The Sentinel-Mist Chronicle. At this time it was Columbia County’s only newspaper.
The name eventually changed to The Chronicle and Sentinel-Mist, and consolidated to The Chronicle on March 25, 2009.
The Chronicle is Columbia County’s largest classified and real estate section.

The Chief has served the people of northern Columbia County and eastern Clatsop County for over a century. From 1922 to 2014 it was owned and operated by four generations of the Steele family. In 2014, Portland-based Country Media purchased the publication from the Steele family. Country Media owns newspapers in Manzanita, Tillamook, Lincoln City and St. Helens. The Chief is rich in good will and loyalty among its readers, as demonstrated by numerous local and statewide awards.

InRoads Credit Union

We all thrive when we grow together. But it’s also vitally important to be an individual. The merger of those two trains of thought is alive and well at InRoads Credit Union, where local people offer local service with local pride.

At InRoads, we understand the community and have been proud to be part of it for over 75 years. It all started with the employees of two local paper mills. The year was 1938.

Back then, the families who called this region home lived on less than $50 a month. They built homes, opened businesses and started families. Over the generations, our community grew and so did the credit union.

Today, we’re serving the great-great grandkids of some of those founding members – helping them plan ahead, run businesses, buy cars, finance homes and achieve their financial goals and dreams. Membership in the credit union is available to individuals that live, work, attend school, volunteer, or worship in Columbia, Clatsop, Cowlitz, Multnomah and Washington Counties. This also includes individuals with immediate family who are existing credit union members. Immediate family is considered to be: spouse, child, step-child, grandchild, parent, step-parent, grandparent, or sibling.

Here, it’s a different kind of social networking. You’ll find us teaching financial education in local schools, as well as offering loan rates that keep monthly budgets in check, financial products for local businesses, and services designed to save you money. In other words, we care about your family, local business, and the whole community.

You can rely on us and each other. Together we are InRoads Credit Union.

‘Who is it that dares disturb the tranquility of this place?’ —Axel, Rayman 2: The Great Escape (PlayStation version)

Axel is a boss from Rayman 2: The Great Escape and is the Guardian of the Sanctuary of Water and Ice, in which the first Mask of Polokus is hidden.

Role in the games

Unlike most bosses in most video games, Axel only takes one hit to be destroyed, making him less powerful than some of the other Guardians. He attacks by throwing icicles at Rayman, who has to get to him by swinging across a series of Purple Lums in the air. Once close enough, Rayman shoots an overhanging icicle with his magic fist, causing it to fall on to Axel's head, defeating him in a single hit. In most versions of the game he explodes and evaporates into the air with a roar of rage; in the PlayStation version, the icicle sticks on his head and he slowly sinks into the fountain below him, where he dissolves.

Axel does not appear to be an inherently evil being; like the other Guardians, he was created by Polokus to guard his four magical Masks and prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. The PlayStation version of the game contains additional cutscenes in which Rayman engages in dialogue with the Guardians Axel, Umber and Foutch; in the conversation with Axel, it is revealed that he regards Rayman as a thief who threatens the safety of the first Mask. When Axel attacks Rayman, he is ultimately acting under the instructions of Polokus.

Like the other Guardians, Axel's name is not given in the PlayStation version Rayman 2. Axel does not appear in Rayman 2 Forever, the Game Boy Color adaptation of the game; neither do any of the other bosses.

  • Of the three mask guardians that appear in the PS version of Rayman 2, Axel is the only one to not recieve a direct reference prior to his appearance. He is also the only one whom Ly did not attempt to converse with (the reason for this is unknown)

phil alvirez's blog View Details
Archive for April, 2014
Posted by phil alvirez | Apr 26, 2014 @ 10:58 PM | 6,756 Views
i have been able to fly the plane several times, but not into thermals yet. still, i have reached the following conclusions:
1.-the plane flies superb. congrats to the designer(s). very stable and predictable.
the proportions are great, and with the AS3X gyros, it behaves like its big brother rad. absolutely amazing.
(i own a big rad, so i can tell you this).
2.-but it is important to consider that a micro is a micro. a very different kind of plane. 1st of all, the way you handle it: you don't feel it (41 grams). it is like as if it comes from another dimension. you have to re-think all-or you may break it.
3.-some want to make it so the wing can be removed for carrying it in its box, but for that, you have the option of dealing with 2 microscopic screws, or modding it for magnets. i rather keep the wing permanently attached.
4.- some propose to make all kinds of mod, but to me, adding any kind of weight will impair its performance. think about it before you try. just fly it as it is (i just added a hatch to protect the cell from dirt-but that weighs less than a gram).
5.- the plane handles wind as if were a big plane. eventually i tested in windy weather (see below), and you can see these comments all over the place, including videos, to confirm this.
6.-so, there is room for it, and for the big brother too. it's just that they belong to 2 very different worlds and you have to become accustomed to each 1.
it's being discussed here:
may 9:>>>>>an update: just came back from the field. it was not only windy, but turbulent.
it was the 1st time i flew it in this kind of weather.
it was shaking and bouncing, but all went well. flies like a 2 meters sailplane!
and i don't think i could be able to survive the ordeal without the gyros.
wonderful things they make.
and in the previous flights that i made in calm weather, it also behaved much better with the gyros.
Posted by phil alvirez | Apr 18, 2014 @ 06:31 PM | 6,422 Views
just when i thought that i was going to be away, they released the lil radian, an ultra micro that has been an instant hit, and me being an enthusiast of micros i had to have 1. i decided to 'canadice' it, removing the decals that come with it and sticking some maple leaves instead.
so here you have the canadian version.
this is the forum where it is being discussed:
details on the hatch: i just couldn't live having that large opening not only allowing dirt and water into the batt, but creating so much drag and turbulence, so got to think of an easy way to solve the puzzle. i fly at a field that is covered with wet grass, so it makes this mandatory for me.
i made a cover from clear plastic, just as i did to the large radian-and that has been working fine, by the way.
i had handy a piece of clear plastic of .016" (anything around that size seems fine), so i cut a rectangle of 3/4" x 1-1/8" and bent to fit. how well fits depends on your patience, so it's up to you. i bent the front edge inside so it does not scoop dirt if dragging at landing.
it is attached to 1 side with clear tape that acts as a hinge, and holds at the other side with clear tape too, that has a fold at the end so it is easy to lift to replace the batt , and adds only about 1 gram.

Course: Antibiotic Resistance - The Silent Tsunami  –  Part 3

Alternatives to antibiotics

Share the article

To meet the increasing threat of antibiotic resistance, a paradigm shift in the treatment of infectious disease is needed and alternatives to antibiotics ought to be considered. Until today, there are already several non-antibiotic approaches to the treatment and prevention of infection

Photo: via Pexels

Before the discovery of antibiotics, serum from immune individuals was transferred to infected people as a mode of treatment. The procedure was at that time associated with toxic side-effects, although it seemed rather effective. Today, a sophisticated variant of this strategy, known as antibody therapy, is considered a rather promising alternative to antibiotics. However, a drawback with this and many other alternatives is that they are not suitable for treating severe infections that need to be handled rapidly.

Antibiotics do unfortunately not discriminate between pathogenic bacteria and bacteria of the normal flora. Side effects, like diarrhea, are therefore common since a disrupted normal flora provides opportunistic bacteria with a chance to colonize. Probiotics are products containing live microorganisms that can help to establish or maintain the normal flora and thus prevent or treat mild infections, for example of the gut.

Human beings have been interested in protecting themselves from illness throughout history, and a revolutionary scientific observation was done on the subject in the 1790s. At this time, the British physician Edward Jenner performed the world’s first vaccination by inoculating a little boy with pus obtained from cowpox lesions on a milkmaid’s hand. A few weeks later, he was triggered with the related, dreaded smallpox virus, but remained unaffected; the boy was immune, protected through vaccination. Numerous vaccines preventing viral or bacterial diseases have been developed since Jenner’s discovery, and most of you have probably been vaccinated at multiple occasions yourselves. Widespread vaccination may slow down the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria by lowering the incidence of infections and the need for antibiotics.

Finding potential alternatives to antibiotics is to some extent related to identifying natural enemies of pathogenic bacteria. Plants and animals produce substances known as antimicrobial peptides as a defense against intruding pathogens. The usability of antimicrobial peptides in human medicine is being evaluated, as are the applicability of what is known as bacteriophage therapy.

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria, which potentially could be utilized for therapeutic purposes. However, there are numerous obstacles that need to be circumvented before these or other alternatives could substitute antibiotics, or even reach the market.

Here, you can download a factsheet that further describes these five examples of alternatives to antibiotics:

Factsheet – Alternatives to antibiotics

Reflection point

Please reflect upon the following questions:

  1. What do you think is the most promising alternative to antibiotics?
  2. Do you believe that we will still use antibiotics in the future?
