One of the films that seem to be heading towards a Best Picture nomination is "Black Panther," a huge achievement by Ryan Coogler. Coogler has become the director of the moment because of his incredible direction and vision for the popular hero. The highest grossing film of the year doesn't all rely on just Coogler though. Enter Michael P. Shawver, the editor of each of Coogler's films to this point. After meeting in film school, the two have built a long collaboration with each other. Michael sat down with me to discuss his role in helping to craft Coogler's vision, building the world of Wakanda, and the importance of identity in the film.
Alan French/Awards Circuit: How did you first discover you wanted to be an editor?
Michael P. Shawver: So going way-way back, when I was 13 or 14, my parents used to have a camcorder. My friends and I would go out and make whatever, we could. We'd make James Bond spoofs, goofy little movies here and there. I thought we had to shoot everything in order because I thought that was how movies were put together. I couldn't always get the right friends together to shoot in order. So what I figured out I could do was to put the camcorder on the TV, record the TV and play the clips I needed in the order I needed them. I would hit stop, record, stop, record, and I was basically editing back then not even knowing I was doing it. Later in high school, I saw someone editing on Final Cut and my whole world changed.
AF: Did you go to film school?
MS: Yeah, I went to film school not knowing that all these other roles existed. I could ultimately get the same joy and create emotion. So I was at USC in directing class my second year with this guy whose work just spoke to me and it had a message. Eventually, I just went up to him and told him I wanted to work with him and that I could edit a bit. It turned out to be Ryan Coogler. He hired me as an editor and we had a lot of things in common. We don't come from the same walk of life but I got that self-fulfillment in helping him tell his stories. He's on another level.
AF: You've worked with Ryan on all of his projects since film school, so how has his style evolved over that time?
MS: His style really evolves for what the story needs to be on that film. Really his movies aren't too big, but they feel big. "Fruitvale Station" was more personal, and we shot it like it was a documentary style. Like Rachel Morrison was hanging on a subway pole trying to grab a shot to get that authenticity. But then you need a couple hundred extras, and we've needed that time and time again. We didn't really need to have that scale because it will feel big in how the audience relates. You could set up the world through the relationships of the people. Ryan studies other filmmakers and he learns.
AF: How does Ryan push you as an editor?
MS: Before "Fruitvale" and "Creed," Ryan gave me assignments as a filmmaker. He handed me the script and told me to take all the fight scenes, and find similar or exact moments in real life fights to cut together. That way, we can see how it feels. That way, the fight coordinator can say "we can do this," or Michael B. Jordan can see what he'll need to learn. It was hard to do because I was editing something without having any shots, but it really helped.
AF: Was taking on "Black Panther" different for you two in how you approached it?
MS: Not really. One of the things I admire about Ryan is how he approaches each film from a personal side. I remember the first time he told me he was going to do "Black Panther," he told me it was going to be his most personal movie to date. I thought he was crazy. But to him, the movie is about identity and searching through his own history and past. He never faltered from those themes, and even with the hype and pressure building around it. He was able to really dive in and keep that consistent.
AF: How do you go about building a world like the one "Black Panther" inhabits?
MS: On "Black Panther," Ryan was building a world, and the story of the three Black Panthers, a place, and what that mantle means. You don't need to have seen a Marvel movie to understand what this film means or what's at stake. We looked at every film that has successfully built a world. I obviously watch "The Lord of the Rings," but I also watched "Blade Runner," "Willow," it was all these great movies that built history and relationships without words. Yet we know the history, and they're accessible to the world. At the same time, people did not necessarily come to "Black Panther" for a message and they just want to see cool stuff on the screen. But the best kind of movie is a blend between a big studio like Marvel and the kinds of filmmakers like Ryan.
AF: One of the things I find so amazing is how you build Wakanda itself. It feels like a living, breathing place. Tell me about how you assemble footage to literally build a culture?
MS: Well it all starts with Ryan, then through the hair, makeup, visual effects, and costumes. They'd been working for a year before I came on, but I know how Ryan works. I remember in that scene, there was a lot more footage than most other scenes of that nature.
In addition to the cameras on the characters with dialogue, we had cameras floating around on the streets. Two cameras would just check in two people talking, or eating the meat, or people doing other things. It had to feel tangible so that you could reach out and touch it. But that all starts from the research, and the history and culture. One thing that Chadwick Boseman said that I really feel is true about the film, is not "what if Wakanda was influenced by Africa, but what if Wakanda influenced the rest of Africa?" It was the only place that wasn't colonized. It helps to create an authenticity for the film.
There are hours and hours of footage, and I knew we had to show the vibrancy of the culture so we can show the mix between tech and culture. Anything that makes me laugh, cry, or feel something, I would write it down and keep it. Storywise, we also need to show Wakanda as a peaceful place early in the movie so that when the civil war occurs later in the movie, you ask what happened to these people. It was trusting my taste to see what felt real and combine all the amazing elements to let the other people who worked on this film shine.
AF: Unlike some of your other films, you collaborated with Debbie Berman as an editor on this film. How did that process work?
MS: It was wonderful, and while I know Ryan and we know how each other work, we had not ever done a movie this size. We'd never worked with Marvel, and we like to have a diverse editing room, both male and female. Especially in a film like this, where the women are so strong in front of the camera, we should have that weight behind the camera too. Debbie had done "Spider-Man: Homecoming," and she told us how she worked her way up to that part. We were blown away by her work ethic and her passion.
The way we work, we never want to get in the way of someone else's passion. If Debbie had a particular ownership over a scene, we let them go. There were no, my scenes and your scenes. If we had something to give, they jump in. Sometimes we would bring in other people from the film, production assistants and other talent, to take a look with us. Allowing everyone to have this ownership is what helped the movie feel so universal and reach so many people. It's something in this movie that helps them represent how they feel. It was always movie first, best idea always wins, and we're here to be vessels for this thing.
AF: Now you mentioned the movie is about identity, and you can see that motif play all the way until the very last lines. How did you ensure that the identity question remained the focus of the film?
MS: Our identity can come from our relationships and conflict. So when looking at our own identity, who are we to those we look up to, who are we to the rest of the world, who are we to everybody, that's a huge part of the film. For example, that first scene when he returns home, we set up who is in the family. He's got a little sister that can still tease him, and his mother can offer him consolation because his Dad just died. Those are the things that any member of the audience can relate to. Who can actually relate to being the smartest, strongest, richest person in the world, or be a king? It's because he's got a sister, a mother, and his relationship with his father. On his journey, he learns its all a lie, and when that conflict rises up, he has to deal with it.
The "who are you," that's a great observation about it being the last line of the movie. It's not just there, but it's also ritualistically how they greet themselves to show they're from Wakanda. The thing is, Ryan wrote it in as a routine thing so that when the final piece comes together, it's this existential theme that he hasn't beat over your head with the dialogue.
AF: So there are a lot of great performances in this film that get limited screen time. Just two that instantly feel relevant are Sterling K. Brown and Michael B. Jordan. How do you make actors of that caliber really work as efficiently as they need to, while still telling a larger story?
MS: Well you have to keep your eye on the big picture. Something I've found as an editor is the more unique you make something, the more universal it becomes. Always remembering what the scene is about should come first. For most of the movie, it is focused on Chadwick. But on a scene with Killmonger going back to see his father, you need to know what will come out of the scene that will affect the rest of the movie. The scene is based on their relationship, and what does Killmonger need from his father in that moment. What does his father feel about who his son has become? Making sure those things are there, we want to feel that tangible emotion so the audience can feel it. I cut for emotion, and that's how I know it's enough.
AF: Did you have to cut anything to service the larger story?
MS: Well my favorite scene we had to cut was a discussion between Danai Gurira and Daniel Kaluuya after Chad has been thrown over the waterfall. They have a discussion about their future, and what they're going to do now. We loved the scene, but sometimes you have to kill your babies. In the grand scheme of the movie, it was after our main character had died. Audiences are smart, and they know in the back of their head that T'Challa will be coming back. They'd probably be upset if he didn't. So we have to balance our time away from him so that when he does return, it's a hell yeah moment. With the scene in, it was too long, especially because we already had the scene with Danai and Lupita Nyong'o. There were similar beats, so for the service of the pacing and flow, that had to go, unfortunately.
AF: I really love the Warrior Falls fights, but the one that I found extremely emotional was the one between Killmonger and T'Challa. You clearly know how edit fight sequences because of "Creed," so how did you put this one together?
MS: You know, both Warrior Falls sequences are really similar. The first had a few more similarities to "Creed." We loved putting those scenes together for that film, but even when the fights were excellent, there was something missing. It wasn't until we put in the reaction shots from the crowd and the experience who loved the people who were fighting did it truly become emotional. I took that with me, and learning from Sly [Stallone] how a fight scene should be cut, you can infuse the emotion into the story. Also, you balance the ups and downs, peaks and valleys in the fight. Any good fight has stakes, with the hero winning a little, then losing a little, and then you're living and dying with every moment.
The second fight is interesting because T'Challa is not giving everything he has. In the first fight he does, but in the 2nd fight, he's so conflicted. He's not himself. We don't call attention to it, and we don't want to push it on you, but if you watch the fight, you can feel it. Then you have all the reactions. We call it "taking your medicine" because sometimes you have had to slow it down and explain so that you can feel the reaction later. When he gets stabbed, you can see his mom and girlfriend are sick, but you also see his generals fighting back tears. They aren't supposed to show emotion. Then you see W'Kabi, his friend, stoic. This is his way into the future. In that moment, right before Killmonger throws him from the waterfall, all the emotions come together.
AF: One of the more interesting aspects to the movie is that you had to incorporate in the Kendrick Lamar "Black Panther" soundtrack. How do you go about incorporating something big like that into the film?
MS: Well originally Kendrick was originally only going to do a couple of songs. Then he watched some scenes and he really liked, but he went away to do his thing. I remember one day Ryan and I were working on some stuff and he got a call from Kendrick to come over to the studio and check out the tracks. So he goes over and I get a call a few hours later from Ryan saying we're in trouble. I'm a little shocked, and I ask why, and Ryan says the music is better than the movie right now. He was half joking obviously, but it lit a fire under us. In a weird way, Kendrick's albums had always come out just before or during Ryan's movies being made. They've basically all been the soundtrack to our lives at the time we're making these movies anyway.
I think what it is is that we didn't go too crazy. We also had Ludwig [Göransson] recording all this music, and traveling all throughout Africa to find the authenticity. He would find these people with weird instruments and flutes. He would tell them the story of the characters and have them play individual instruments for these characters. They had this guy playing a crazy flute just screaming Killmonger into the flute, and it became the Killmonger theme. Plus, Ludwig is Childish Gambino's producer, so he's used to the hip hop world.
During the car chase scene, it was a perfect way to combine score and Kendrick. There were other times we were wondering if we should use a song at all. Sometimes it was no. The lyrics of the song, especially with Kendrick, would break you out of a movie state if you're watching it. We might need you to spend time with these characters instead, so sometimes you have to make those choices.
AF: The entire South Korean sequence is one of the coolest action set pieces since "Mad Max," so I have to ask how you guys brought all those elements together?
MS: So Marvel knows that a lot of their films have similar qualities to them, but they want you to branch into other genres. In the case of South Korea, it feels like a scene out of James Bond. It starts when Shurri shows him all the gadgets, and it sets up the hopes and fears of what the mission can be. It was also important to always tie this to T'Challa, and check in on him over the scene. Even small things, like choosing when to show all the henchmen, moved around.
The conflict is not just between Klaw and T'Challa, but also within the team. Nakia is telling the team they have to go get him now, and Okoye is telling her to wait. Chad's like stand down, and then Okoye gets caught. Of course, Ryan is a fan of oners if you've seen "Creed" you know. Well here, there's 100 extras, squibs, gunfire, and special effects. It would have been impossible. So when they shot that, I was on set.
We had to build in cuts to hide like they did in "Birdman," and in between each cut, we'd run down where everyone was at emotionally before picking up the next shot. That's how we try to make it seamless. Ultimately, the scene is about the team working together and we wanted to make it fluid to help that. I realized there was a whole minute where we didn't see T'Challa, so I realized that we had to build in something in the middle of the fight, even if just for a minute. That day was such a collaboration between stunts, the camera team, post-production. Everyone.
AF: What about the car chase?
MS: So we filmed the car chase in South Korea. One of the things about the car chase, in addition to keeping up with all the characters and their geography in the chase, is that it's still about relationships. I've never seen a car chase where the guy is on top of the car and his sister is driving from another continent. But the fact that they're trusting each other, and have that chemistry shows that they're in it together. There's stuff we had to leave on the floor, but ultimately you have to have fun.
AF: Thank you so much for your time today Michael, this one is already a big rewatchable movie for me.
MS: Thank you so much!

Bon Jovi have been forced to postpone tour dates in south America after the hospitalisation of drummer Tico Torres.
The band pulled their scheduled show in Mexico City on Tuesday (September 10) after Torres checked into hospital for an emergency appendectomy.
A statement from frontman Jon Bon Jovi on the band's Facebook page posted today (September 12) says that the band is staying with their drummer until he is recovered, forcing them to pull dates in Santiago, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina. The band's website says concerts in those cities have been rescheduled for later this month.
The post begins: "Last night Tico Torres underwent an emergency appendectomy. Thankfully, the operation was a success and Tico is now recovering in the care of his doctors at the American British Cowdray Hospital. We'd like to thank the doctors, nurses and all the hospital staff who helped our friend through this difficult time."
It adds: "We'll remain here with Tico in Mexico City and will see him through his release. David and I spent the day with him at the hospital and Tico sends his thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. He wants everyone to know that it was his desire to perform. He even promised the doctors he would come back for the surgery right after the show but the doctors prevailed."
"We know many of you make great efforts and travel from around the world to see us on tour," it continues. "It remains our desire to give you the best that we have every night. We are sorry for any inconvenience this sudden change of plans may have caused."
The band's next scheduled date is September 20 in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

Find a Stress Test For Heart Disease in NYC
Find a Stress Test For Heart Disease in NYC
Heart disease and stress go hand-in-hand. For that reason, it's not uncommon that patients with chronic chest pain opt for a cardiac stress test (also known as a treadmill test).
This test acts as an initial measure of your cardiac function. It can also be used to support other diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Heart Disease and Stress; What Happens?
On the surface, stress or anxiety releases adrenaline. Adrenaline increases your energy and the workload on your organs, at least temporarily. This increase can cause muscle contractions and chest pain when your heart rate becomes elevated.
Occasional bouts with adrenaline happened to everyone, but angina – whether stable or unstable – is where heart disease and stress intersect.
Angina, especially when it's chronic or progressively worsens, can be a sign that the oxygen level or blood flow necessary for heart function has decreased. While this isn't always an immediate indicator of heart attack, it does need to be addressed and treated accordingly.
Enter: cardiac stress test.
Determining the Heart's Workload
This exercise-based test is used to determine three things:
- Your activity threshold
- Your cardiac blood flow when your activity level is elevated
- The amount of oxygen being utilized by your heart
Your age, weight, and other medical factors will determine what your ideal activity threshold should be.
The longer you are able to sustain that activity threshold, the better your heart function will likely prove to be. That's not to say that you should push yourself beyond your natural limit. In fact, specialists are in the room to ensure that you do not put yourself at undue risk during the test.
The side effects from a stress test are relatively mild. It can take patients a few minutes to regain their breath and allow their heart rate to fall within the normal range. However, if you begin experiencing significant discomfort at any time during the test, please say something right away.
How you react and respond can give specialists additional clues to how your heart disease and stress may relate to one another.
Given that additional discussions and tests will likely be needed; the more information that can be collected on your heart, the better your chances are of condition management in the long run.
Dr. Seldon, a Heart Doctor and Cardiologist in New York City, offers same day appointments and all testing is done on site. Call us at (212) 367-8000.

How to Minimize Wrinkles in Your 30s
Although aging doesn't usually become too visible until your early 40s, you might begin to develop wrinkles in your 30s due to genetic or environmental factors. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there are two types of skin aging -- intrinsic and extrinsic.
Although aging doesn't usually become too visible until your early 40s, you might begin to develop wrinkles in your 30s due to genetic or environmental factors. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, there are two types of skin aging -- intrinsic and extrinsic 2. Intrinsic aging is your skin's genetic predisposition, and extrinsic aging is related to environment, sun exposure and other variables. While there's little you can do to turn back the hands of time, you may be able to prevent or slow premature extrinsic aging with the right skin care regimen.
Avoid excessive sun exposure. You may already be aware that exposure to ultraviolet rays can contribute to premature aging. According to dermatologist Elizabeth Tanzi, Dr.Oz.com, many of the earliest visible signs of aging such as wrinkles, brown or red spots and dull skin, aren't due to aging -- but to sun exposure or other lifestyle factors. Tanzi recommends you protect your skin against the sun by using a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
Seek out quality skin creams. Tanzi says it's important to sift through the countless "anti-aging" skin care products on the market and focus on quality. Prescription-strength retinoid products such as tretinoin and tazarotene, are thought to be highly effective anti-wrinkle agents, according to Tanzi. However, the potential redness and irritation caused by these products might not be tolerable to all skin types.
Investigate treatment options. The American Academy of Dermatology reports that if you want to take stronger measures to reverse wrinkles in your 30s, you can investigate medical procedures that may achieve this result 2. Currently, many dermatologists offer procedures such as dermal fillers, botulinum toxin, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and more. Many of these procedures require minimal downtime and may temporarily revitalize your skin. You can also talk to a dermatologist about prescription-strength skin creams.
Implement a skincare regimen. Smooth on a thin layer of a serum or targeted cream both morning and night to revitalize skin and minimize the appearance of wrinkles. To remove any dead skin cells and treat dullness, exfoliate skin before bedtime with a moisturized skin brush or dampened washcloth.
Wear hats or other protective clothing to cover up skin.
Dermatologist Rosemarie Ingleton says on the Today Show website that antioxidants can combat wrinkles caused by extrinsic aging factors such as cigarette smoke and pollution. Ingleton recommends antioxidants like idebenone, coenzyme Q10, vitamins C and E.
Refrain from doing "facial exercises." The American Academy of Dermatology emphasizes that exercising your face to prevent aging generally has the opposite effect. By repeatedly making certain facial expressions, you may be inviting fine lines and wrinkles.

Here are some guidelines to help you coach your students toward persuasive writing success.
Objective: To teach students how to develop a solid structure for persuasive essay writing.
Create an Organized Essay Structure
Remind students that an essay, whether it is persuasive or expository, must have a clear beginning, middle, and end. If students are using the standard, five paragraph model, then the following would apply:
Each paragraph should have a topic sentence, a body, and a conclusion sentence
Thesis must be clearly identified in the introductory paragraph
Three body paragraphs must centralize on one key point of an argument
Each key point should have at least one well-developed example to illustrate its relevance
Conclusion must restate key points as well as teach the reader something
Make Your Essay Structure Obvious
Students should be reminded that what seems clear in their minds while they are writing can often seem obscure to the reader. Therefore, student writers should diligently state their case as overtly as possible. One way to do this is to incorporate meaningful transitions, such as
- On the other hand
- Conversely
- One may argue that….. however,
- To illustrate,
- For example,
- For instance,
Use Examples To Develop A Persuasive Argument
Novice writers need to be guided toward developing a convincing argument. They can do this by identifying succinct examples that illustrate the key points they are trying to make. If a student is writing a standard five paragraph high school essay, she may want to consider limiting her illustrations to one detailed example in each body paragraph. Each example should then serve as a tool to further the writer's argument.
Students often get carried away with listing many short examples rather than using them as a deliberate tool to make a point in their argument. Therefore, teachers can encourage them to analyze their examples in the respective body paragraphs. They can do this by responding to the following:
- Explain why the example is important
- Describe how the example relates back to the main point you are trying to make in that body paragraph
- Make the connection clear between the example and your overarching argument.
- Guide Your reader toward adopting your perspective
Challenge Yourself While Writing
While your students embark on the drafting process, remind them to keep a few key questions in mind to improve their persuasive tone. Instruct your students to constantly ask themselves
- So what?
- Why is the point I'm trying to make?
- How does this sentence further my argument?
- How can I retaliate to a reader harboring an opposite viewpoint?
- How can I make my purpose clear to readers?
- What do I want my readers to do or think after they read my essay?
Finally, encourage your students to observe the following tips in order to develop a persuasive tone:
- Anticipate and challenge the reader's possible opposing viewpoint
- Avoid a hostile or condescending tone
- Be instructive or informative without resorting to a solely expository approach
- Make clear connections between your examples and your argument
These suggestions offer students lots of food for thought while they are drafting their essays. By answering these questions, students will be guided toward developing a persuasive tone in their essays rather than being solely informational.

Agentes da Transformação
Category: Applications
Agentes da Transformação is a model of training and quality data collection through field research conducted by young people from communities of Rio de Janeiro-RJ.
The project is carried out in partnership with Instituto Pereira Passos (IPP), an agency of the Rio de Janeiro City Hall, and is divided into two axes:
- Training in field research scholarship holders – High School students from public schools, residents of the researched communities.
- Carrying out a large household survey with statistical rigor, able to trace the socioeconomic profile of youth in communities with installed Pacifying Police Units (UPP).
Each participant interviews 50 young people between the ages of 14 and 24 and records information on tablets with the free software Para Pesquisa installed. The project culminates in the graduation of the researchers, when the teams of each community present the results of the study. The research is shared with government agencies, companies and third sector institutions.
All the communities of Rio de Janeiro with UPPs were surveyed by the project.

In the city of Rio de Janeiro, 1.4 million people live in favelas. These communities have a feature that distinguishes them from the rest of the city: the age pyramid is broadened in comparison to the formal city – that is, its population is younger than the rest of the city.
From 2008, when Pacifying Police Units (UPPs) began to be deployed in the communities of Rio de Janeiro, understanding who its residents are and what they think has become a necessity – not only for the formulation of efficient public policies, but also to guide actions of the private initiative.
Agentes de Transformação meets the urgent need for quality information with specific cut in communities with UPPs, generating official data that serve as input to public policies. At the same time, it meets a demand for professional qualification and productive inclusion in field research.
- Realization of the action Fala, Comunidade! (Speak up, Community!)
- Initiative held in partnership with the Municipal Department of Urbanism of Rio de Janeiro and the UPP Social program, coordinated by IPP
- The objective was to increase popular participation in the selection of new names for four of the main roads of the Rocinha community
- Votes were collected by young scholarship holders, residents of the community, who went from door to door and recorded the information in a technological solution installed on a tablet
- Creation of the Agentes de Transformação project, replicating the methodology of the action Fala, Comunidade!

On International Women's Day, we think it appropriate to review how women are doing in the fastest growing sector of the US economy – high tech startups. The results of a Silicon Valley Bank survey for 2017 are not good. There were no women board members in 70 % of Silicon Valley startups, actually up from 2016. Women were poorly represented in 54 % of startups with no executive positions filled by women in 2017.
Source: Silicon Valley Bank – 2017 (2018 figures are estimates)
Why? Having built a career in Silicon Valley for the last 25 years this author has seen a number of reasons – none really acceptable for the trend. It starts first in school, STEM programs to bring along girls in secondary school and then science and technology in college are few and poorly funded considering women represent 51 % of the population. In college, the men often start companies in dorms like CISCO at Stanford, or school buddies as the founders of Google at the Stanford School of Engineering. Universities are key incubators or engineering and high tech startups, with a low percentage of women in engineering programs there were fewer to start with to be founders. In the venture funding world, venture capitalists seek other men that they know of in graduate school departments, or grad students they know for tips on interesting new technologies. There is cultural network for men related to high tech startups that continues to grow and keep men in the mainstream. Plus, most venture capitalists are men, and don't feel as comfortable giving many women funding, not trusting their judgement or skills is almost an unconscious response.
Next Steps:
What do we do about it? Diversity programs are a start, the Silicon Valley Bank survey did find that 41 % of startups up from 25% the previous year had started active women recruitment programs. More funding for STEM programs specifically focused on girls in grade schools with a focus on both the skills as an engineer but also the cultural aspects of a women in engineering. Many engineering environments in startups are hostile to women and keep growing with a ridiculing attitude toward women. One former manager at a $1B company in San Francisco told this author, "working in this place is like being in the boys' locker room". From STEM and engineering programs in college women need specific programs in incubators and founder support groups like the Women's Founders Network. When more women start companies they will change the culture into a more robust, open and adult environment. Women on boards and in executive positions will shift HR policies in startups and small companies to be more family friendly, more flexible time for family issues as they arise and more supportive of women re-joining the workforce from having a baby or taking care of a family for many years.
There is no better day than today for men to realize many times, "The best man for the job is a woman!"

Specialist Mentoring and Employment Support
for adults with Autism Spectrum Conditions and other neurodiverse conditions
About us
Our History
AS Mentoring was launched in 2013 by a small team who had spent several years working together as core staff of Prospects, the National Autistic Society's specialist employment service. Over the years our team has continued to grow allowing us to meet the increasing demand for AS Mentoring's specialist mentoring and employment support.
Our collective experience has given us a detailed understanding of the needs of job-seekers and employees with Autism Spectrum Conditions, of the parallel needs of employers, and a deeply-rooted commitment to a programme of workplace inclusion which aligns and addresses the two.
Our Mission
is to support our clients to achieve their potential as individuals and to facilitate their social inclusion through employment.
Our Vision
is of a world where it will be completely routine and ordinary to employ people with autism.
What our clients say
Anna taught me how to tell clients about my Asperger's and how to ask for adjustments. She used her vast professional experience to describe how firms are run, how to unearth hidden workplace rules and how to apply such rules wisely. Anna's unwavering encouragement has helped me to become more confident being who I am.
A couple of years ago, I was facing challenges both in my personal and work life. This, left me feeling lost and trapped which impacted my ability to function on a day–to–day basis. I felt there was limited awareness by management around how the challenges were impacting me. Due to the sensitivity of the situation, two professionals in the Autism field recommended that I reached out to David as he has a reputation for resolving workplace matters in a very positive manner. I cannot agree more with the recommendation.
Your support has helped him [Seb] move forward towards a better quality of life, for his future , helping him to gain more control of his life and his condition.
There is no doubt that without David's support over the last year and his on-going support, I would not have been able to maintain myself in work.
Before I started working with Laura I was continuously seeking answers to my problems, including depression and anxiety. I especially wanted to understand why I found socialising so difficult. I wanted to fix myself: to become a less flawed version of myself. The thought that I was in some way defective kept returning. Having worked with Laura for a year I have come a long way in accepting my autistic self, which has been the key to knowing myself as a whole person. I am now enjoying a stage of self discovery. There were no flaws within me that required a solution: I needed someone to help me find myself.
Anyone receiving an AS diagnosis and does not know what to do next should definitely contact ASM.
The Consultants are very knowledgeable and helpful. I am currently studying for a postgraduate qualification and I am finding the support very useful in enabling me to cope with the course. Without this support I would probably not be able to do this as my consultant makes sure I stay motivated and keep on track.

Background Generatepress Changing Opacity On Top Header
Over the previous 10 years, I've used a lot of different WordPress topics and have been very disappointed. Up till recently, I was using MyThemeShop, that was pretty good. However, I had to do a lot of customization to make it perform and work how I needed it to. A couple weeks ago I decided to provide GeneratePress a try, and let me just say, it is undoubtedly the finest WordPress theme I've discovered in 10 years. I was blown away and am moving all my sites to GeneratePress. I'll go into precisely why in my in-depth GeneratePress review under. And if you're wondering, yes I have tried Genesis, Astra, OceanWP, Avada, X motif, Divi in addition to several other lightweight and heavier multicolored themes. Generatepress Changing Opacity On Top Header
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
GeneratePress Evaluation
GeneratePress is a totally free WordPress theme made by Tom Usborne, a programmer from Canada. I've actually seen it for many years from the WordPress repository. Most of you know that I am fairly picky when it comes to web performance, and so I have a tendency to dismiss everything from the repository. Typically because a lot of stuff on there isn't that great, or not supported for long. Nonetheless, in this case, this was a mistake. The theme currently has more than half a million downloads, 80,000+ active installs, with over 500 5-star evaluations. So obviously Tom is doing something right here.
I Really installed the free version of the motif and in a matter of 15 minutes purchased the superior version. I could tell right off the bat, the developer was thinking precisely how I was envisioning a theme should get the job done. And I will go into that more below, but let's first look at a number of the features. I will be covering the superior version of the theme, because it's worth very penny. In fact, Tom, if you ever read this and so are seeing Scottsdale, Arizona, coffees on me.
Super lightweight and quick. Modular design allowing you to enable/disable items you don't need running. This is one of the greatest reasons I love GeneratePress.
Responsive, looks great across all of the devices.
Schema built-in, for better outcomes in SERPs.
Impressive integration with the WordPress Customizer. I haven't been a fan of the customizer previously, but Tom does it correctly.
Compatible with all popular plugins, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, EDD, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WPML. Great browser service back to IE8.
It also works great with all the favorite fast-growing Elementor page builder. If you want to dive into even more customizations, these are a terrific combo. I have also read that individuals using Beaver Builder have experienced success.
Resumes prepared.
Font awesome built-in.
Tons of filters and hooks which make it great for developers.
Great active service from the programmer. On average, 3 updates per month.
The Documentation can be incredible. Besides have great documentation on their website, the subject has been around long enough that everything I Googled during the setup procedure was found within a couple of seconds from their forum.
Diving Into GeneratePress
Now it's Time for the fun part! I test a new theme right out of the box with no customizations to just see how quickly the base is. This tells me a lot of what I can expect by the time I add everything to it. Running the stock GeneratePress WordPress motif on Kinsta hosting clocked in at a whopping 265 ms load time. I was very impressed.
One Thing I was concerned about with GeneratePress was that the modular design was going to generate a whole lot of big files, but that isn't the case. You may tell that Tom literally worked hard on ensuring every record packed in GeneratePress is as little as possible. With HTTP/2, the number of documents is not as important. However, the size is! Take a look at a few of the core GeneratePress files under:
/generatepress/css/unsemantic-grid. min.css 2.9 KB
/generatepress/style. css 7.1 KB
/generatepress/css/mobile. min.css 1.6 KB
/generatepress/js/navigation. min.js 1.1 KB
/generatepress/js/dropdown. min.js 1.5 KB
This is a programmer that cares about functionality! And I have Seen exactly the same during each the premium add-ons. They are as small as you can possibly get them. In reality, Font Awesome is probably the biggest file included. And that isn't even his. With Font Awesome 5 coming round the cornerwe can anticipate that to secure smaller too.
The premium add-ons Are setup in what I'd call a modular layout. It is possible to activate/deactivate whatever you are not using to ensure they do not load on your website. As the co-developer of the perfmatters plugin which has a script manager built, I felt at home for this. Everything ought to be designed this way.
If You're curious, I am using the following add-ons on this website:
Page Header
No Child Theme Needed
One of The best features of GeneratePress is I no longer have to use a Child motif . This makes my life much easier. No longer editing my functions.php or header.php documents. I will literally upgrade my GeneratePress theme this exact moment and not shed one customization. The hooks add-on definitely helps make it possible. It permits you to add custom code/PHP everywhere throughout your WordPress site. Generatepress Changing Opacity On Top Header
Other Things I Love About GeneratePress
On every Page/post that you have a lot of options. You can change the sidebar design and the footer widgets.
You Can quickly swap a page between the default option to a full width page, in addition to disable components.
The WordPress customizer choices is really where GeneratePress really shines! Bear in mind, lots of these choices are enabled by the premium add-ons. I can not show you everything, otherwise, we'd be here all day. However, allow me to show you few which actually come in handy.
Responsive Columns
Another Plugin I highly recommend grabbing is your free Lightweight Grid Columns. Not to my surprise, this can be created by precisely the exact same developer as GeneratePress. It enables you a super simple way to add responsive columns to any page or article. Characteristics include:
Desktop grid width
Tablet grid thickness
Mobile grid thickness
Insert custom classes
Add custom inline designs
Equal height columns
This is An example under:
You May Want to Also catch his incredible WP Display Posts plugin too. View my featured posts on the sidebar of this website? That is using the WP Display Posts plugin. I have it set to show posts from a specific"featured" category. You can also have it show past modified/updated articles, recent articles, etc.. I'm using the free version and it works great.
To Get started, Click here to download GeneratePress.
Sections Add-on
The Segments add-in in the premium version of GeneratePress allows you to do all kinds of things concerning design. Think of it like a page builder without the bloat. GeneratePress is certainly not only for blogs! I am in reality using GeneratePress for our ecommerce website (perfmatters.io) which is operating Easy Digital Downloads. Don't hesitate to check it out. However, as you can see below, it looks like a site.
Speed Tests
For those Of you that are regular readers, you probably didn't even notice that I changed the entire theme that forces woorkup.com. It just took me about an hour for GeneratePress to mimic my MyThemeShop theme that I had spent a year customizing. Here is a comparison under.
woorkup.com Old MyThemeShop Theme
My old MyThemeShop motif was already pretty quickly, but I spent a lot of time scrutinizing it. In reality, I've gotten a great deal of emails from you guys asking me to publish all my customizations. My advice now is, simply get GeneratePress!
woorkup.com New GeneratePress Theme
Together with the New GeneratePress motif I was able to attain faster speeds and 600 fewer lines of code! And keep in mind, I do not have a kid motif. Each of the customizations were created with the awesome GP hooks and snippets plugin (both CSS and PHP).
Like the WordPress theme I have running on woorkup? You're in luck. Tom asked if he could create a copy of woorkup to your brand new GeneratePress site library. I'm happy to let you know that now you can put in my woorkup motif on your own GeneratePress site with only a single click! It's known as the Marketer motif. Get started using a fantastic blog layout instantly.
brianjackson.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved within my personal site, brianjackson.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I was using a motif from Array Themes. It is a fairly basic minimal site, since I don't use it to get much. Since you can see it loaded pretty fast.
brianjackson.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to replicate the entire look 100 percent in GeneratePress in under one hour. And as you can view it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to eliminate a couple plugins that weren't needed due to GP.
forgemedia.io Old Array Theme's Theme
Additionally, I Moved over our business site, forgemedia.io, to GeneratePress. Previously I had been using a motif from Array Themes. It's a fairly basic minimum website, as we simply use it for our LLC. As you can see it loaded pretty quickly. Generatepress Changing Opacity On Top Header
forgemedia.io New GeneratePress Theme
I was Able to move everything over and get it looking just how I needed it in under one hour. And since you can view it loads even faster! Amazing. I was able to eliminate a total of four plugins and it dropped my total page burden 2x!
I can not express my Excitement about locating GeneratePress and I am moving over all my sites to it (which comprises some EDD e-commerce websites ). Once I have my 9 websites all running in GP without any child topics, my life is going to be a breeze! The developer has revived my faith in multi-purpose themes, which when done the right way, can actually perform quicker.
And The best news isI now have a billion more choices to pick from than I did before.
What GeneratePress Is Good For…
GeneratePress Is the perfect alternative for performance-focused users who want to be able to personalize and control precisely how their site looks.
You Can make GeneratePress perform pretty much anything. And because GeneratePress has a focus on performance, the site that you build will have a fantastic base to make it load fast.
Since Of that, people who assemble WordPress sites for a living love GeneratePress. They'll normally pair it with a WordPress page builder and use it for literally any type of site.
However GeneratePress Might Not Be A Good Combination If…
…you Need something that will instantly appear perfect from the box.
For Example, if you know you wish to produce a style blog, you may be happier choosing a niche theme that is developed exclusively for trend bloggers.
While GeneratePress has gotten a lot simpler to use, as a result of its pre-built Site Library, GeneratePress still looks very barebones if you first install it.
So To make GeneratePress look how you want it to, you'll almost certainly need to go in and customize matters. And while the substantial benefit of GeneratePress is how customizable it is, many users, especially casual users, do not like having to make those changes themselves.
GeneratePress Features That Make It Unique
Here Are some of the specific characteristics that clarify why GeneratePress is so popular.
Plenty Of Customization Options From The Real-Time WordPress Customizer
Past Performance, another place where GeneratePress does well is its customization choices.
GeneratePress Utilizes the WordPress Customizer for customization, and this can be convenient because you'll be able to see all of the changes that you make in real time.
The Free version of GeneratePress provides you decent options, but if you have GeneratePress Premium, you'll have the ability to customize nearly all about your site.
For Example, if you go into the Layout region, you can configure detailed settings to your:
- Header — you can move your header around and change its styling
- Navigation — GeneratePress gives you two different navigation options, including sticky menus
- Sidebar design — you can utilize a Couple of sidebars
- Blog post design — like featured picture size, metadata, etc..
- Footer layout — like how many widgets to include
Likewise, That the Typography area enables you to control the font to get each and every element on your site, such as buttons:
And You also get a detailed region to control the colour of every single element on your site.
All Whatsoever, GeneratePress will give you much more customization options in the WordPress Customizer compared to most other topics. This amount of detail might be a little overwhelming if you are a beginner. But as soon as you understand how the preferences come together, you'll have full control on how your website looks.
Optimized Performance And Fast Page Load Times
Across All its attributes, GeneratePress consistently has a focus on exceptional performance and tidy code. The whole motif is less than 30 kB, which is about as small as you'll ever find for a WordPress theme. Even most other optimized WordPress themes are still 200+ kB. And a few poorly coded themes can even exceed 1 MB!
GeneratePress Also has no code dependencies, which will help you avoid the leave obstructing error that Google Pagespeed Insights often mentions.
Put That collectively, and you obtain a superfast-loading motif. How fast? To give you an idea, I conducted a little test.
First, I set up an empty website using a random popular WordPress.org theme (Envo Magazine). After testing its performance with Pingdom, it:
- Had a performance tier of 77
- Loaded in 1.05 seconds
- Had a page size of 243.9 kB
- Had 15 requests
That's Not bad in any way! However, GeneratePress can do better.
Next, I triggered GeneratePress on exactly the same test site without changing anything else. Here is how GeneratePress did:
- Had a performance grade of 87, 10 points greater
- Loaded in 666 ms, ~37% quicker
- Had a page size of 26.8 kB, ~90% smaller
- Had 9 asks, ~40% fewer
If You do that same test with different themes, you are going to continue to see that GeneratePress is among those fastest-loading WordPress themes in existence. Generatepress Changing Opacity On Top Header
Other Useful Premium Extensions, Plus A Modular Approach
Past Giving you more style controls in the WordPress Customizer, GeneratePress Premium comes with a lot of other helpful features like:
- Elements — a exceptional feature that allows you create custom hooks, page headers, or layout templates.
- Page Header — allows you create a unique page header on a per-page basis.
- Sections — that is sort of like lightweight page construction. It lets you create separate"sections" onto a page, each with their own layout and column preferences.
To Stay lightweight, GeneratePress also provides you a modular interface where you could pick and choose what characteristics you want to trigger.
That Way, you don't have to slow your site down for a quality which you'll never use.
Pre-Made Starter Sites Make It Easier To Design Your Website
In The last, you had to build GeneratePress websites from a blank canvas regardless of what, which left the motif difficult for casual users to set up.
Earlier In 2018, however, the developer added a new Website Library attribute for GeneratePress Premium users which allows you easily import any one of the 25+ pre-built demo sites.
You Can import them right from the WordPress dashboard.
Yes this site still uses GeneratePress! All I did was click a few buttons to import a presentation site.
Page-Level Settings Provide You Detailed Control Over Each Bit Of Content
With Most topics, each page and post will use the same configurations for the most part. You might have some custom formats or templates — but you don't have very much control beyond that.
GeneratePress Changes that by providing you a brand new Design meta name box for every single page and post:
You Can utilize this meta box to:
- Change the number of sidebars your website uses, or the sidebar orientation (such as changing the sidebar from right to left)
- Choose the number of footer widgets to utilize
- Disable certain components, such as your header, navigation menu, article featured picture, post title, or footer
- Produce a special"container" for your page builder
Where These controls are the most helpful is if you're using a WordPress site builder.
By Disabling certain components, you're able to produce the correct baseline for your own page builder layout, which makes it effortless to create custom content as needed. Generatepress Changing Opacity On Top Header
GeneratePress Replies: Affordable And Works On Unlimited Sites
The Heart GeneratePress motif can be obtained at no cost at WordPress.org.
That said, If you're seriously interested in utilizing GeneratePress, I believe you should buy the GeneratePress Premium plugin, as that's what makes the theme so elastic. The free version does not give you almost as many configurations from the WordPress Customizer. And you will also miss out on the premade Site Library.
GeneratePress Premium is also still fairly affordable. It costs just $39.95, which provides you use on unlimited sites. You will also get a 40% discount if you want to renew to continue receiving support and upgrades following the initial year (you can, of course, continue using GeneratePress after the first year without renewing — you won't get any more upgrades ).
When You believe the normal premium WordPress theme will usually cost around $60, GeneratePress offers a fantastic price.
As I said, I do not believe GeneratePress is for everybody.
If You desire a niche-specific motif, you can probably save time by buying a theme that fits your needs for your market from day one.
But If you're ready to spend some time altering preferences, then GeneratePress' style controls give you the flexibility to turn it into any sort of WordPress website. Or, you might even have the ability to find a starter website that fulfills your needs to save a little time.
Additionally, It is one of the fastest-loading WordPress themes you will find. Therefore, if you're seeking the best performance possible, using GeneratePress as your WordPress site's base is a good decision.
If You combine it with fast-loading hosting, so you shouldn't have any difficulty making your site load in under one minute. Generatepress Changing Opacity On Top Header

It's been a tough season debut for Poli, as the inconclusive draw against FC Arges was followed by what seemed at the time to be a conclusive victory against Pandurii at home (two goals Artavazd Karamyan, one Magera), only for the poor performance in the first match to become more indicative of the team's play after a catastrophic 1-5 defeat away at newly promoted Gaz Metan Medias (goal Luchin).
There has been some talk of replacing Dusan Uhrin Jr., but it's not going to happen yet - and I can only hope it won't happen at all this season, because it'd only make things more complicated. Rumor has it that there's friction between players in the dressing room.
Anyway, in a completely unrelated matter, David Sanchez scored twice in the 2:4 loss of Poli II against Gloria Arad today, a match counting for the Romanian Cup.
And in another unrelated matter, Felipe Da Costa was released by the club due to medical reasons.

12 Sep Times Union: Democrats bet futures on single-payer health system
Posted at 17:24h in Health Care, Press
"What do you want?"
Jeff Beals asked the question at a recent health care forum as he seeks to flesh out his health care platform. The Democratic 19th Congressional District candidate said the protest over the House vote on health care reform earlier this year made clear what people don't want. But what is the alternative as Republicans seek to do away with the Affordable Care Act and Democrats admit the federal health care system is flawed?
For Beals and a number of his fellow candidates in the Hudson Valley and elsewhere, one direction to move in is "Medicare for all."

President Trump's threat to impose tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods has further inflamed the relationship between him and Senate Republicans over trade, as the GOP lawmakers fight an increasingly losing battle to push Trump away from his protectionist instincts.
Pro-free-trade senators have tried private meetings with Trump, op-eds in prominent newspapers and other tactics to warn Trump away from a new round of tariffs on foreign cars and auto parts, as well as lifting existing levies on steel and aluminum products made abroad.
But the latest threat, which the Trump administration justified Monday by saying China had reneged on commitments it had made as part of a broader trade negotiation, only deepened concerns from GOP senators who have made little headway with Trump on trade.
Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), who met with Trump last week on the issue, said Monday evening he was worried about the potential impact of Trump's latest threat against China and that other Republicans were trying to make their case to the White House.
"I don't think anybody is getting through on that issue at the moment," said Thune, the No. 2 Senate Republican. "We're going to keep trying."
Few policies have driven as big of a rift between the White House and congressional Republicans as trade, with two years of pushback from the GOP having barely influenced a president who campaigned on ripping up trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement.
That much was clear in a private White House meeting late last week, when a half-dozen Republican senators on the powerful Finance Committee had assembled to argue against Trump's tariffs, both on foreign steel and aluminum and the threatened levies on autos.
But Trump had tapped Peter Navarro, a White House trade adviser who carries little influence among Senate Republicans, to make a presentation to the senators on how tariffs were actually helping, according to an official briefed on the meeting.
"None of the members there cared for it or found it compelling," said the official, speaking anonymously to disclose details of a closed-door discussion.
Asked how successful the Thursday meeting in the Roosevelt Room was, Finance Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) responded Monday: "Not very successful."
"He says, 'I like tariffs,'" said Grassley, who insists that the steel and aluminum tariffs must be lifted before the administration's new trade agreement with Mexico and Canada can be ratified by Congress. "I say, 'I don't like tariffs.'"
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.) similarly said nothing was resolved at the meeting with Trump.
"I think the president knew the meeting was stacked with senators who thought that the tariff issue needed to be resolved or we wouldn't be able to pass the USMCA," said Cornyn, referring to the updated version of NAFTA. "He made clear that he liked tariffs as an instrument to bring people to the negotiating table."
Cornyn added: "It wasn't necessarily a welcome message."
The China threat also stunned senators who were convinced that the trade negotiations between two of the world's largest economies were on track, particularly as Vice Premier Liu He was slated to lead a 100-person delegation to Washington this week to finalize a deal.
Instead, Trump sent the markets into a brief tailspin with his vow to increase tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods from 10 percent to 25 percent on Friday, while implementing a new 25 percent fee on a separate $325 billion of Chinese "untaxed" imports.
The Dow Jones industrial average on Monday plummeted more than 471 points, but recouped most of those losses by the end of the day — although the administration laid out its accusation against the Chinese of "reneging" on the trade commitments after the markets had closed.
"Any time you have a situation where we're talking about additional tariffs or increasing tariffs, it is immediately reflected not only in the stock market but in pretty much every commodity we have," Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said. "That's part of the risk."
The administration has looked at quotas as a potential way to defuse the tariff standoff, an option that U.S. Trade Representative Robert E. Lighthizer referenced on Thursday with senators, Grassley said. That would place limits on the amount of steel and aluminum shipped to the United States rather than imposing a financial penalty through tariffs, although the idea is also likely to run into similar concerns from Republicans.
Other Republicans on Monday tried to rationalize Trump's threatened tariffs as primarily a negotiating tactic to put pressure on China to wrap up the trade deal.
"Well, of course I don't like it," said Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), who has protested Trump's tariffs because of the retaliatory impact on farm country. "I hope it's just the president's way of negotiating . . . we've seen him do this in the past, and it brings people to the table."
