How To Video Edit A Documentary Film
If you want to become an expert in video editing, editing a documentary film will be a great start. The documentary films have brought a lot of innovations to the film editing industry. You can read about some of them in the Documentary Filmmaking History post, but the main one is Vertov's film "The Man with a Movie Camera" which shows a lot of manipulations with camera and editing. The are no strict rules when it come to documentary and this kind of freedom can be great, but also castrating. A large amount of footage and the endless possibilities of editing can be scary, so here are some tips to make sense out of it.
Editing The Documentary Structure
- There are a few general structures that documentary films usually use: The "talking heads" – which is a movie that is made entirely out of interviews. "The Personal Story"- Where the filmmaker is telling us something personal about him,
The Narrator films– which are films that are being guided with a voice over and "The Day in A Life" films– which is a movie that follow a character or a group of people throughout the day (it can be more than 1 day). You can start with these basic structures and develop your style from there.
- The big difference between fiction and documentary films is that in a documentary film the structure needs to be invented in the editing room, so you might want to play around a little with the structure before you go into fine edits. That's include deciding what's going in and what is going out. You can read all about structure in my post on Script Structure, but basically, you need a story that develops. It starts at one point and ends at another. As an editor, you have to make sure that the starting and the end point are clear to the audience in the whole story and in each and every scene. For example, if locations are changing, you need to make sure it is understood.
- When you work on the structure of the film, you have to understand and even feel the social and political ideas of the director and his vision for the film. That is an important tip because if you won't understand his vision, you'll end up just being his tool that does only what he sais. Once you understand all that, your eyes become the director's greatest tool. It is also advised that you'll get to know the story and the script (if there is one) before the shooting. If it is possible I would even advise you to visit the set and maybe get to know the characters a little.
- Don't get stuck on the first draft for too long. Everything will change later on. Right now you purpose is just to understand the story and start getting ideas about how to tell it.
Editing The documentary Film Takes a Long Time
- It is very hard to plan how long a documentary editing is going to last. Not only that building the structure takes time, but most of the times the editing stops because the director understands he needs to get out to shoot some more footage. One of the biggest challenges of the video editor is to know when to stop working on a scene. In video editing and Documentaries especially the number of times, you can fix a scene is countless. Knowing when to stop work on a scene is an ability you'll get with the experience. Sometimes it's best to let the scene rest for a few days and then come back to it, but trust me! When you'll look at the scene again in one year, later on, it will look a lot better then how you think it is right now.
- The problem with documentaries films is that usually, they are working with a low budget and they can't afford too many hours, so you better learn how to work quickly and efficiently.
Digitizing/Capturing and Importing for Editing The Documentary Film
- Since you will probably be working with a large amount of footage, it is important to be organized. That is why when you capture or import the files, you have to give them a name right away. The name should describe the file in one or two words. You should also write the scene it belongs to and the take number, So if we are having an interview with James the dog and the file we are naming are the second take and it belongs to the first scene, it will look something like this: James_1_2 or James_Int_1_2 (The Int stands for interview)
- You have to know the footage very well. Watch every single shot of the footage. don't be lazy. Each shot is important since you can never tell which one will add to a good cut. Watch also the outtakes, sometimes there are great treasures there. While you do that, you can start thinking about the general structure of te film and what it is about.
- Many video editors like to import or capture the footage in low resolution to save space on their hard drive and when the movie is done, they re-capture or re-import the footage of the final sequence in a higher resolution.
- I also advise you to organize the files on your hard drive in a way you can easily find everything. That is an important tip, especially when working with the premier, or Avid AMA where the software is working with the original files by linking to them. Keeping the files organize will help you to prevent cases where the files in the editing software appear offline.
Organizing the Files for Editing The Documentary Film
- Each video editor has it's own way to organize the material. It can be by scenes or by characters. You can make a bin for interviews, a bin for dialogs or maybe even divide the bins by locations. It's all depend on your film. It is recommended to have a folder for B-roll footage. B-roll footage is visuals without anyone talking to them. Each one of them should have a short name that describes what happening in the shot in general. Organisation the footage is very important in video editing especially on a documentary film where you usually get a lot of different types of footage.
- Personally, I like to import or capture the footage into bins with the names of the tapes or cards that they are taken from and after that to copy all the clips to the new organized way I decided to go with. Knowing where the clip is coming from is very important for the whole process of the editing and I promise you, you will find yourself asking in what day was that clip shot at. Oh, and one more tip- You might want to have the clips in frame view, so you can find them quickly.
Know Some Basic Color Correction Techniques
I think every video editor should know basic tricks with color correction especially when working with a documentary. The problem with documentary films is that there isn't always time to set white balance and lighting so the footage can come out very flat. You will be expected to fix at least small errors of color
Editing the Documentary Interviews
- When having a movie with lots of interviews it is better to start with editing the narrative through the interviews. Then you can start playing with the clips and their order. Try different things. Don't think about structure yet, only the story.
- Many documentaries films are known as Talking-head films. It means they are built mainly or entirely from interviews. The trick the video editor uses, so it won't be boring, is to cut away from the talking head to the more interesting footage. The B-roll visuals should be connected in some way to what the talking head is talking about at that moment, but don't repeat with the visual what the interviewee is saying. The visual should be loyal to the premise of what the interviewee is saying and not to his specific words. If he is saying "I was very sad" showing him crying as visual will be to say the same thing twice and that is boring too. Try to find footage that enhance what the interviewee is saying.
- On your editing software, insert the B-roll shot on a different layer from the interviews layer.
- The B-roll should be edited by the rhythm of the speech as if the speech is music.
- The great thing about covering the talking head is tat I can delete all the coughing, pauses and "umms" of the interviewee.
- If you have a lot of interviews footage it can be a good idea to ask the producer a script of all the interviews. It will be a lot more easy and fast to read the script then watching all the material. The Media Composer has a way to connect the interview clips to the written transcript, so it's very recommended to use it if you know how.
Editing The Documentary Sound
- You might think that sound design is something that is needed only in narrative films, but that is wrong. The documentary films have a lot of sound errors that you might need to improve. Personally, when it comes to documentary films, as an editor, I like to do it myself and not to send it to sound design. One of the main problems I run into as a video editor in documentary films is that since all the characters are attached to microphones, there are no background noises and I need to add them myself.
On the other hand, sometimes there might bee too much background noise that needs to be clear so we can hear the dialogs.
- The biggest work with a sound you'll have is fixing the coughing and pausing of the interviewees and of the voice overs. Sometimes you'll need to take one sentence from one interview and attach it to another from a completely different interview.

The Steventon Stakes betting tips given by Horsebetting.com experts for the Listed 1m 2f contest at Newbury say course winner Desert Encounter is value to the land spoils on Super Sprint day; Saturday, 21 July. Emotionless is the clear danger, while Autocratic is the each-way value in this year's renewal. Find out why when you read our 2018 Steventon Stakes betting tips preview.Go in for Desert Encounter in Steventon StakesDesert Encounter will definitely appreciate not having to chase after Poet's Word for a change as he drops significantly in class to tackle the Listed 1m 2f Steventon Stakes for trainer David Simcock at Newbury in the opener on Super Sprint day this Saturday (13:50).
The six-year-old has a 33 per cent career strike rate, having landed six of his 18 starts and placing in seven others. Desert Encounter has tackled some of the toughest middle distance assignments on offer this season and last, largely running with credit.
Among his back form is a 3 1/2 lengths third to Ulysses in the 2017 Coral-Eclipse at Sandown over the trip in this, and a 4 1/2 lengths third to Poet's Word in the Group 3 Brigadier Gerard Stakes at the same venue on his penultimate outing.
Running at Ascot seems to take its toll on Desert Encounter, as he been well-beaten by that rival, the mighty Enable and Cracksman in Group 1 contests. He is a winner at this level at that venue, however, and posted a career best effort when landing the Group 3 old Arc Trial (Legacy Cup Stakes) by a neck over 1m 3f here last season.
Rather than keep trying at the very top, connections have had the common sense to ease Desert Encounter in grade. He is thus top rated in the Steventon line-up on an official mark of 112 and, with some question marks hanging over his main market rival, looks the value bet in this. Don't expect Appleby to be Emotionless if charge winsTrainer Charlie Appleby and leading owners Godolphin have proved a seriously potent combination on big Saturdays this season, and they team up again here with Emotionless, who heads the betting but clearly hasn't been the most straightforward.
The five-year-old hasn't raced in the UK for two years with each of his last four career outings at Meydan in the Middle East. In between the third and fourth of those, Emotionless spent over 300 days on the sidelines but returned to action when a 2 1/4 lengths runner-up to Bentbal in a Group 3 contest.
This son of Shamardal hasn't been seen since and that is the problem. He's now got yet another absence of almost 200 days off the track to overcome, and short-price favouritism takes some justifying in the circumstances.
As a juvenile, Emotionless was a Group 2 winner having landed the 2015 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster's St Leger Festival. That helped him to earn a career high rating of 117, but he is now rated 6lb lower than it.
His stable's blistering form and big race successes for connections mean he is respected, but it's a big ask for Emotionless who cannot be race fit with just one run in him since March 2017. At the odds on offer then, we're taking him on.Autocratic an each-way alternativeLast year's Brigadier Gerard winner Autocratic also has a Listed victory on his CV, so the Sir Michael Stoute trained five-year-old is an each-way alternative to consider here.
Owned by Cheveley Park Stud, this son of Dubawi shaped as though coming to the boil when a 2 1/2 lengths fourth to Monarchs Glen in the Wolferton Stakes at Royal Ascot last time out. Although he couldn't reach the winner, this is a far easier race for the grade.
Prior to that, Autocratic was a half-a-length runner-up to First Sitting at Goodwood also at this level and second to old rival Fabricate on the all-weather at Kempton. Connections also tried stepping him to a mile-and-a-half this season, but that didn't work as he trailed in a well-beaten fifth of six behind Defoe.
A trip of 10 furlongs in races that are not so hot is what Autocratic needs. This assignment is his easiest for some time, so it'd be no surprise to see him make the frame – especially if the obvious doubts about the race fitness of Emotionless emerge.Your Next Bet

Intern testimonials
As a volunteer, one of my personal development goals was to exercise patience when disseminating knowledge. I was not patient with slow learners. However, I was able to overcome this when we took students to Ol pejeta conservancy. My duty was to explain to them the different types of animals, their adaptations to the environment and how they co-exist in the wild.
As a VSO volunteer from England, I was extremely nervous about working in a completely different country; however from my first day at the office, all of the staff made me feel very welcome and a part of the team. My main area of work whilst on this placement was with the Environmental Education and Eco Literacy programme. My time at Laikipia Wildlife Forum not only provided me with the chance to share my knowledge but the opportunity to learn and have multiple, wonderful new experiences that I will remember and incorporate into everything I do, now and in the future.

Making blogs while the sun shines
26 July 2012,
Reading back over my entries, it seems I only really like posting here when the sun is shining! It's another beautiful day at St Fagans and it seemed only right to fire up the blogging engine and start writing.
You'll find us in a very cheerful mood at the moment: after many months of working collaboratively, we handed in a dossier as thick as a loaf of bara brith to the Heritage Lottery Foundation. They, in turn, pored over it and decided to award St Fagans with a whopping grant of £11.5 million, to fund its redevelopment. We still have a few quid to raise in order to reach our goal, and so the '£1 appeal' was launched last week. Its message? If you've got a pound to spare, then we promise to do something amazing with it!
Our plans for the future, while unbelievably detailed, still seem a bit distant and unreal - but soon enough, you'll start to see the site start to change. The museum, as an entity, will change, too - and we hope you'll come along with us for the ride. We want to open up how we work, and give people from all walks of life a chance to take part in the day-to-day life of the museum.
At the moment, though, it's business as usual.
My Tudor Plant walks went off without a hitch (and by hitch I mean rain and slugs). I was joined by students from England, France, Germany and Japan, as well as a couple of English/Welsh/Spanish families. I was a linguist in a former life and so dredged as much vocabulary as I could from the back of my mind, so that everyone could follow the tour. We tasted and smelled our way around the gardens, where 16th century varieties still grow. We usually discourage people from picking plants while they're here, to leave enough for our furry/feathered residents - but on this occasion, we were allowed to have a nibble here and there. Thankfully, Bernice and Paul from the gardens department have been kind enough to teach me which ones to eat, and which to avoid!
Yesterday, I met with students from Cardiff University yesterday, to talk about how we can use information and objects from excavations to engage the public. We looked at all sorts of things: from the pigments on the church walls to cauldrons and Tudor toilet-seats. This morning, I helped Sian and Ian take eighty-four (we counted) cardboard shields up to the Celtic Village for a painting workshop.
The reason I find myself in the office is because I am preparing a lecture for the Eisteddfod. I'm honoured to be speaking, and want to make sure I show off St Fagans in its best light! The topic of the talk will be murals from the Vale of Glamorgan - reading about all these little fragments has me keen to traipse around a graveyard with my camera pretty soon.
I hope you're enjoying this sunny spell - if you're thinking of coming to see us, then have a look here for our upcoming events. If you're coming by bus, remember that, as well as the number 32, you can now catch a band new shuttle bus, the number 5, which takes you from the steps of the National Museum in Cardiff, right to our front door.
PS: next time there'll be pictures, I promise!

Aegist, dulcet electronicism
A track I really like today in Aegist, lush and calming, and almost certain to make it onto the atmospheric side of the ‑otron release.
One of the first tasks post-Pact will be to evaluate all the ideas and separate them into the respective style categories, then will be the challenge of developing each track to completion.
Album sequencing also needs to take place (though this doesn't necessarily happen after all the tracks are finished), as well as album artwork concepts – I have already developed some artwork for -otron but also have my eye on some older works of Polly Alizarin Harvey for future releases.

A response to the JTS Chancellor, Arnie Eisen's very good question – Why do we need denominations.
His essay is at http://www.jtsa.edu/prebuilt/blog/denominations.html
I wonder if there is an analogy around questions of state versus private funding.
I want there to be safe roads to be everywhere for when I travel anywhere.
But I don't want have to pay per mile every time I get in the car and I want roads in areas where no private road builder would want to invest in building roads.
I want there to be a hospital with well trained medical staff for when I get ill.
But I don't want to have to get my wallet out as I lie on a hospital stretcher.
I want properly trained teachers with recognised qualifications in the schools where I send my kids.
But I don't want to have to school inspections myself. I don't have the expertise or the time.
I depute these tasks to the State and pay my taxes, despite the sense that there might be creeping inefficiencies and despite the fact that I might wish, at point of need, a different road plan or hospital design or educational oversight.
I commit to the larger, more ponderous, less perfectly attuned to my own desires, organisation – in these cases the State – because I want there to be a structure there and waiting for me and my needs when I am ready. It's not a plea for communism, but an argument for the State to work out what we as a nation need that private organisations can't or won't provide well. And I feel the same things about Movements and denominations.
It's easy to find a freelancing post-denominational Rabbi to do a one-off pre-planned special; a marriage, a Yom Kippur service etc. – easy in, easy out. But I am prepared to commit to Synagogue community so there is something there for 'the other 51 weeks,' if I need it – or if another member of the community I join might need it. I also commit to a denomination – a Movement – to do the things no single Synagogue community can provide; a Bet Din, training for the future and a Youth Movement where kids from my community can join with others. I expect denominational leadership to keep an eye on the horizon, pointing out challenges and opportunities down-stream, beyond my ability to see past my own immediate needs.
It's always going to be cheaper and more immediately gratifying to serve my own interests with a non-denominational, non-community based Jewish identity. Committing to a denomination and a Movement is always going to take more commitment and more of a willingness to engage beyond self-gratification. But commitment and a willingness to suspend selfish desires are the mark of maturity, Hesed and courage. That's why I'm a proudly denominational Jew. I'm neither Orthodox nor Reform, but I'm delighted for Orthodox Jews to commit to Orthodoxy and Reform Jews to commit to Reform, I don't even begrudge the emergence of affiliated networks of 'unaffiliated' minyanim, I just think we should all be committed to a bigger communal vision than our own.

The virulent attack launched by the Ortega-Murillo regime in Nicaragua against the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) of the Organization of American States (OAS) amounts to a declaration of war against the institution, whose recent report on the serious violations of human rights in Nicaragua has been supported by 21 countries in the hemisphere. For the "crime" of documenting the worst massacre perpetrated by the State in a Latin American country in recent memory, the Nicaraguan government accuses the IACHR of political bias, manipulation of facts, and complicity in justifying a "coup" attempt, which only exists in the crude machinations of official propaganda.
President Ortega himself began the escalation of attacks. In an interview with CNN he described IACHR executive secretary Paulo Abrao as a "liar" in an attempt to disqualify the Commission's report, which detailed 322 deaths at the hands of state and paramilitary violence.
A few days later, the government presented its official report on violence. The report claims that only 198 people died in 98 days, still implicitly admitting that under Ortega's watch, the worst massacre in the history of peacetime Nicaragua has taken place. Not even the fact that the government intends to hide 124 deaths takes away from the gravity of this admission. Still, history will prove the IACHR report correct, as the names of the missing 124 have been corroborated not only by the IACHR but by national institutions such as the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights (CENIDH) and the Permanent Commission on Human Rights (CPDH).
The Ortega-Murillo dictatorship has concocted an even more perverse version of the "false positives," which gained notoriety during the Álvaro Uribe administration in Colombia. There, the abuses of the army and the security forces, who murdered innocent citizens, were passed off as if they were guerrillas killed in combat. In Nicaragua, the Ortega regime seeks to hide the murders and extrajudicial executions of more than a hundred civilians who participated in civic protests as if they were simply homicides caused by common crime and traffic accidents. Worse yet is that these false positives are intended to re-murder the victims of repression by denying them the right to an identity.
Four months since the April massacre began, the Ortega regime refuses to present a list of the victims of the massacre: the dead, wounded, political prisoners, and disappeared. The only dead whose identities Ortega has publicly revealed are 21 policemen, while hiding the names of more than 300 citizens.
So, if there is any discrepancy between the official government evaluation and that of the IACHR, and if, as the government alleges, these 300 victims died as a result of common crime instead of the massacre perpetrated by the paramilitaries and the police, then the regime should present their list with names, surnames and identity cards, so we can compare it with the already-published lists from the IACHR, the CENID, and the CPDH. There are also families who, in the midst of mockery and pain, have buried their dead. The government now intends to re-victimize those dead.
With the arrival of the IACHR and the Interdisciplinary Group of International Experts (GIEI) in Nicaragua, there was hope that at least the recognition of would be achieved. All Nicaraguans and savvy international observers understood that justice would have to wait for the thorough reform of the Office of the Prosecutor and the judicial system, with international support, under a new democratic government after the departure of Ortega and Murillo. But now we are facing an operation of massive concealment of the victims, orchestrated by the State, to kill the truth. And to leave no doubt that the massacre will remain unpunished, or at the very least negotiated in amnesty to hide the blame of the real culprits, the regime's judicial system is trying 132 Protestants and sympathizers of "murder, organized crime and terrorism." No police, paramilitary, or State sympathizers have been arrested.
Despite paramilitary repression, rigged trials against political prisoners, illegal property seizures, massive layoffs of State employees, and persecution of protestors, the Nicaraguan people continue to take to the streets, demanding elections and the end of the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship. Only with national civic pressure and international condemnation at the highest levels can a political exit through elections be achieved in this ongoing struggle for democracy and justice.
Sooner rather than later, OAS Secretary General Luis Almagro will have to recognize the Ortega regime as a dictatorship, equal to or worse than the Maduro regime in Venezuela, and act accordingly. It is time to move from words to deeds.

I would say that I am not competitive. Everyone who knows me would 100% disagree with that statement.
Anyone who has read one or two posts here knows that I don't ever run races; never have, never will. I enjoy running for what it is and making it more stressful by adding the element of competing against people other than myself would absolutely kill it for me. Besides, another thing you might know by now, is that I am a total misanthrope. If I can avoid the throng of crowds then I absolutely will. But that wasn't what I was going to write about, I was going to write about running books.
I have read a few of them, not too many, because I almost find them a bit stressful. It's like seeing people out running when you are not – even if you had just completed a run. Anyway, the few books I have read have all taken it as a granted that if you run, you also run races. Be it ParkRun 5k's or (half) marathons. Surely I cannot be the only person who is semi-obsessed with running without any interest having already spend the morning queuing for toilets, has to line up at the start line with a crowd of other people , dodging their discarded water bottles and gel packets while jostling for space as you complete the run. Yuck…
I can understand that preparing for a race can be motivating and helps you to get out there and bang out those runs in between. But for me, personally, I am currently doing two 23km hilly runs every week and the thing that gets me out there is mainly the fact that I know how awesome I will feel afterwards. I am totally, absolutely addicted to the afterglow. And not just that, but the moments after you have broken the pain barrier and have eased into the run and your mind just starts to wander. And wonder. You cover distances in a trance only to come of it and realise you have no idea where the last few kilometres went. Of course, some runs are just shit and there is no trance except for the one you enter when you mutter "please be over, please be over" repeatedly.
I also quite like my routine. Twice weekly, every week, I run the same exact distance on the same exact pavements, in the same exact direction. I know where it's hard and when it get's better. I know that at exactly the 1km point I will suddenly feel very warm and start sweating, be it winter or summer. I look forward to the big uphill which I masochistically love and the sloping downhill on a narrow path that I have come to call my "Power-up Alley" because it always boosts me up. I love the feeling of being able to predict what is coming and how each leg of the run will feel.
At the same time I am consciously trying to be ok about breaking the routine as well; to not need the 23km in order to feel ok about my run. A few months ago I went to Majorca for 8 days. It is very hilly and there is no way to get a nice run in without doing some decent climbing. I mentally I had to switch gears; I ran every day, only about 10km each time but half of it was up a very very steep hill, then trail running around a mountain a steep downhill back home. I came back home feeling invigorated and my running has been back on track ever since (I have had a pretty tough time with this this year).
But the absolute best part of that run? There was rarely anyone at all out there. I had the roads and the trails all to myself. Well, to me and the wild goats… So maybe I don't race because I am not competitive or because I am too competitive – maybe it's just because I don't like sharing my runs with anyone other than the thoughts in my head.

The labor contracts of 50,000 workers at Las Vegas' Strip and downtown casinos expired at midnight Thursday, raising the prospect of a strike.
They include bartenders, food and cocktail servers, porters and cooks at 34 casino resorts who are members of the Culinary Union. By 4:30 a.m. ET on Friday, the union had not called for an actual walkout.
Last week, 25,000 unionized workers voted 99 percent in favor of authorizing a strike should their contracts expire.

// This is a Digital product. Upon purchase, you will receive a link to download a PDF of the Marian Martha Virtues Planner for your sole use, to print on your home printer or through a local print shop. This single home license entitles you to print copies for yourself and members of your immediate household, but not to gift to those outside your household. Please enquire about a group license for gifts, co-ops, or church groups. //
The Marian Martha Virtues Planner is a new kind of planner. It takes the concept of the "devotional planner" and brings it one step further, to contextualize your entire day within your journey in faith. So much so that you could even use it alongside another liturgical planner, using the daily space for reflections and journaling, instead of appointments, or to keep note of your school assignments, homeschool schedule, or work and business goals. The Marian Martha Virtues Planner is versatile enough to serve as your entire faith/life planning system, or to supplement the system you already love with a deeper journey into one aspect of your life in faith: Virtue.
The theme of this devotional planner is the journey of growth in the seven Virtues of Catholic and Christian tradition. It begins with the three Theological virtues--Faith, Hope, and Charity (Love)--and is completed with the four Cardinal virtues--Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance.
Each Virtue has quotes from the Catechism, the Bible, the saints and the poets, to help you understand the meaning and delve more deeply into the significance of these virtues in your life. Each has space to journal and "goal plan" your growth in virtue, each page illuminated by a simple, vintage rendering of a flower with traditional symbolism for that virtue.
There are eight, undated weeks provided for each virtue, so that you may use this planner/journal however best fits your life and your adoption of new habits. Research on habit-growth has shown that four to eight weeks of focus on developing a single habit is necessary for that new habit to become a permanent part of our character. You know yourself best, so you can take as many or as few weeks as you need to aid your journey closer to Christ. You can take all eight in one go; you can take six weeks here, seven there, as you need them; or you can devote four weeks to each virtue the first time through, and work through the second four weeks a second time, to complete your year.
With eight weeks for each virtue, there are 56 weekly spreads all together, giving you more than a year of planning and growing in your faith!
Every planner contains:
+ A full-year blank calendar for 2019 and 2020
+ A week-by-week, color-coded Liturgical Year calendar for 2019-20 with the principal feasts and seasons of the year
+ 12 pages with the Feasts and devotion for each month of 2020, Janurary through December, with both the Novus Ordo and the Traditional (Extraordinary Form) Calendars, so that you can enter the feasts you most want to focus on in your own monthly and weekly planning
+ Four full pages introducing and offering quotes, images, and reflection space to dive more deeply into your understanding of and devotion to each virtue
+ A blank calendar spread before every four weeks to plan feasts, appointments, etc. (two per virtue)
+ Eight undated weekly spreads for each virtue, containing: bullet journal-style, veritcal layout for each day of the week; a quote on that virtue and a reflection question for your growth; an hourly breakdown for appointments with symbols to indicate the Hour of Mercy (3pm) and the given hours at which the Angelus is prayed (6am, 12pm, and 6pm); space to record the month, dates, and monthly devotion; weekly habit tracking; daily space at the top for feasts and major appointments, and at the end of each day for meal plans, gratitude, or Examennotes; and a versatile space at the start of each week for making to-do lists, meal plans, shopping lists, and more
// Throughout, you will find:
+ Simple, vintage floral imagery on almost every page with rich symbolism for each virtue
+ Full-page quotes for meditation, offering plenty of white space for a peaceful visual, as well as room for journaling, sketching, or whatever flows from your mind to the page
+ And a Daily Examenon the final page, as always, for easy reference to pray and reflect at the end of your day
I pray that this planner/journal helps you in your journey toward a deeper relationship with Christ! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have.
And if you have used and enjoyed a Marian Martha planner before, please leave a review here to share your experience with others!

Purse thief targets elderly Hatfield shopper
PUBLISHED: 12:36 14 December 2018 | UPDATED: 12:36 14 December 2018
Herts Police
Police have released a CCTV image of a woman they would like to speak to as part of their enquiries into a purse theft from an elderly lady in Hatfield.
On Monday, December 10 at 3.30 the victim was shopping in Poundland in the Town Centre when the offender unzipped her handbag without her knowledge.
The offender then followed the victim around the shop and pretended to bump into her before taking her purse from her handbag and leaving the shop.
The victim, who is in her 80s, only realised her purse was missing when she went to pay for her items at the till.
PC Lee Rowson, who is investigating, said: "I am keen to identify the woman pictured as we believe she was in the area at the time of the offence and may have information that could help progress our enquiry.
"If you know her, or have any further information that could assist us, please email me at email@example.com, call the non-emergency number 101, quoting reference 41/64523/18, or report information online at https://www.herts.police.uk/Report."

It's been a rough launch for BioWare's new loot shooter, and some PlayStation 4 players are now finding that the game occasionally shuts off their system as well.
"When encountering a crash or game error, sometimes I get booted to the main menu or out of the game completely to the PS4 dashboard," a user who goes by ForTheMasters posted on the game's subreddit over the weekend. "But twice now when trying to matchmake my PS4 has completely turned off." The rest of the thread is filled with other commenters saying the same thing has happened to them on both the standard PS4 and PS4 Pro, sometimes completely out of the blue, other times while they're trying to exit the game. The PS4 then treats it as an improper shut off, as if the power cord had been pulled.
There are several reports on the game's official forum of this happening as well. "The console powers down and will not power on using the normal method of pressing the PS4 button on the controller," wrote one player. "It is the same as if someone pulled the plug without properly shutting the hardware down or if the power went out in the house. Sometimes the button on the front of the console works, other times I have to unplug the console then plug it back in."
Neither Sony nor EA immediately responded to a request for comment.
Screenshot: spllitz (YouTube)
As any PS4 user who's occasionally unplugged their console forgetting it was in rest mode knows, the PS4 does not like this and displays a warning saying to never do it again when it happens. It then goes through a short process of checking the internal database for any issues before turning back off again and then restarting as normal. The PS4 will then display the error code CE-36329-3 if there was some problem with the console's software.
One player even says the game bricked their console. "PSA to any Anthem players on Playstation that experience complete shut downs of their consoles: STOP PLAYING!" user TheMadTitanGuantlet posted on Reddit last night. "My playstation has been completely bricked to the point of not even turning on because of Anthem." They said they really like the game despite all the issues and just wanted to warn other players about the potential danger to their consoles. In a follow-up email to Kotaku, the person said they were playing on the Call of Duty: WWII limited edition PS4, which came out only a year and a half ago.
We've also gotten tips from players affected by the issue, including at least one who says that Anthem bricked their PS4 as well.
I've been playing Anthem on my launch edition PS4 with the glass cabinet doors of my TV cabinet open for fear the system might overheat. The console's fan has been putting in major work with a lot of recent games like Spider-Man and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, but Anthem has taken it to a new level. I've also experienced the shutdown issue. but only when I fall asleep playing. Instead of my system eventually going into rest mode, I'll wake up the next day to find it unresponsive until I manually push the power button.
It's unclear if the shutdown problem is indeed heating related or caused by something else. Whatever the cause, there's currently a long list of tweets at the AskPlaystation Twitter account asking for refunds due to the issue. A few people on Reddit claim to have gotten their money back, while others said they were unsuccessful.

The government plans to draft a law designed to govern safety standards in the Kingdom's mining industry, an official said yesterday, little more than a week after at least one gold miner went missing when a shaft collapsed in Preah Vihear province.
Khieu Muth, a secretary of state at the Ministry of Environment, said mining was a thriving sector in Cambodia, but it lacked regulations that protected workers and held companies accountable for dangerous conditions.
"We have many laws in other sectors, but haven't even completed an environmental impact assessment in the mining sector," he said. "When we have problems in the mining sector, we do not have laws to arrest or fine those responsible. We must ensure safety by implementing standards."
The ministry plans to complete an environment impact assessment of the mining, oil and gas sectors with the help of experts from NGOs before drafting a law, Muth added.
Rescue teams called off a search for missing workers at a mine shaft in Prey Vihear's Rovieng district last Thursday after it collapsed three days earlier.
Only one miner, 18-year-old Thy Nath, was officially listed as missing, but it was believed two or three more may have been unaccounted for.
Chhay Sarath, Cambodians for Resource Revenue Transparency executive director, said that on behalf of NGOs monitoring the mining sector, he welcomed plans for a draft law.
"We support any law that ensures companies protect the safety of their workers and not just focus on profit," he said.
Nuth Chanty, a miner in Preah Vihear province, said he, too, welcomed better safety standards due to the dangers faced underground.
"I'm a miner, but I never received any technical training at school or anything like that. I just learned it all by doing what my manager ordered me to," he said.
"If we do anything wrong underground, it's unsafe. But it's my job – I have to do it to support my family."

Published: 11:01 am, Thu. Mar. 1st, 2018Updated: 11:00 am
The temperatures, albeit it still fickle, are warming. The wind is certainly blowing. And although basketball season is still – excitingly – ongoing, for the athletes who've spent the winter in offseason, spring has sprung.
And for the Bulldog baseball team, a fresh, new campaign in more ways than one starts today.
The Diamond 'Dogs will kick off their 2018 season at 4:30 p.m. today against Class 6A Cleveland at the Hobbs Round Robin tournament, and they'll do it with a new face at the helm: first-year head coach JJ Ortiz.
For any program experiencing a coaching change, a period of adjustment is a given. But Ortiz says bumps in the road have been minimal, and overall, the squad is embracing its new direction.
"Whenever a new coach comes in… I have a different personality," Ortiz said Wednesday. "I have a different way of doing things, and so there's been a little bit of growing pains with that. And we knew there were going to be.
"But there's been good feedback from the kids and from the community, and overall, it's been awesome. I've been really busy with letting people know what we're doing here and keeping people involved, and the kids are responding really well."
In addition to a scrimmage against Alamogordo, Ortiz organized a few preseason activities to generate excitement and break up the monotony of day-to-day practices.
"We had an alumni game to reach out to alumni, because we really value what they brought to us when they played here and what they bring to us as fans now," said the coach. "We also did a kids' camp, which was awesome, because we want the younger kids to know we care about them and will try to work with them as much as we can to build them up to be future Bulldogs.
"Everything has just been really positive, and we're working on getting better every day."
That work began with a complete review of the basics: evaluating technique and, where necessary, Ortiz says, "fixing bad habits."
With the full team yet to be integrated due to basketball playoffs, this weekend's round robin will serve as an evaluation tool for Ortiz and his staff – which includes assistant coaches Chris Galbraith, Caleb Smith, Andy Lopez and Jason Fuentes.
"We're really focusing on these early tournaments to get a baseline of where we're at and where we need to do," Ortiz said. "Like I told the guys, these games are just to get us better. We're playing really good competition. We probably have the toughest 5A schedule in the state, bar none – top to bottom, we're playing the best teams, and that's how we wanted it. That's going to give us an idea of where we need to go."
Following this afternoon's outing against Cleveland, the 'Dogs will take on Carlsbad and Clovis Friday, at 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. respectively. Next weekend will bring the Carlsbad Invitational, and the Bulldogs will host their traditional home opener – the Artesia Invitational – March 15-17 at Brainard Park before hitting the road again March 22-24 for the Rio Rancho Invite.
That full tournament slate will leave time for just one regular-season double header – April 3 against Hobbs in Hobbs – before the start of District 4-AAAAA play April 10 in Lovington.
That also means the boys in orange will be home just once – for their home tourney – between now and April 13, so fans are encouraged to turn out in force, as well as support the ballclub when they can on the road.
"Every time I've talked to the community, I've just encouraged them to come support us," said Ortiz. "I hope everyone does, and we're encouraging our players to support other sports also. We're all a big family."
As for this weekend, the Bulldogs are obviously thrilled to be taking the field against someone other than themselves and to see how they stack up at this early stage.
"They're excited," said Ortiz. "Like I told them, this isn't going to decide our fate. These games are just to get better, and you have to approach it that way. If you go 0-3, the sun will rise and you'll be fine. But it's been a good experience so far, and we're excited about going to Hobbs."

The intern must be available during normal daytime office hours. Summer internships at VIP start in May and run through August. School-year internships ideally start in August or January, and can be flexible with class schedules. We have found a minimum commitment of 12 hours per week in the school year, and 20 in the summer, provides the ideal experience for all.
Can Philadelphia VIP host or "sponsor" me for a summer fellowship?
Yes. We encourage our interns to apply for funding and keep us informed so we can help.
Are there other ways I can work with Philadelphia VIP as a student?
Yes. We host school-year interns each semester for Work Study, or as a committed volunteer. Interpreters and translators are especially helpful in various languages.

How easy is it to use a translated version of IDELA in a tablet-based app like KoBo or Tangerine? We will be using a version that includes instructions to the child in local language, and instructions to the assessor in French. Thanks!
