A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS PICK--"Powerful… a haunting, often jolting depiction of the profound toll that the war has exerted on soldiers and civilians alike… at once subtle and blunt… vivid, precisely framed moving and still images… [a] crucial eyewitness document of the Russia-Ukraine war.” - Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

I thought for a long, long time about starting a Youtube-channel and talk about storytelling and filmmaking. I finally got going - and here is my first episode, were I talk about the first 'Alien', from 1979. The first movie I remember seeing. If you're interested in the nuts and bolts of filmmaking, or just like scifi in general - have a look :)

A clip from my latest video, when I saw 1000s of dragonflies early one morning, back in June, on the Somerset Levels. A 3am start, but 100% worth it!

Interesting watch this. As Henry Faulkner MCGI mentions, the last three minutes are key lessons for any H&S advisor to consider when you need to be strong and step in.
The last three minutes are the epitome of the level of H&S culture in film and TV. Not saying its all bad or unsafe, but when it goes wrong the root cause is often this.

The rest of the clip is also interesting.

Retired tech entrepreneur, Dan Fine , went to the frontlines —not to fight, but to save the dogs and cats left behind.
A chance meeting with Krystina, a fearless architect-turned-animal rescuer, opened his eyes to the shocking scale of the animal crisis.
A Powerful True Story...
With shelters overflowing, unsterilized dogs and carts multiplying, and rabies cases on the rise, Dan and Krystina navigate a war-torn landscape where they encounter numerous extraordinary individuals risking their lives to help people and animals.
This gripping documentary captures their unrelenting efforts to vaccinate and sterilize 120,000 animals annually, aided by groundbreaking AI and facial recognition technology.
With $4.2 million needed each year to fund the mission, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
It's a race against time to prevent a catastrophic rabies outbreak that could cross borders, claim human lives, and spark draconian, inhumane measures against Ukraine’s homeless dogs and cats.
The clock is ticking - the solution is within reach.

UAM & eVTOL CAN SUCCEED WITH THE RIGHT ENTERPRISE SUCCESS ALGORITHM
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Undoubtedly, electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing ("eVTOL") vehicles will add a new and exciting category of air transportation operating within the National Airspace System ("NAS") governed by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA"). The operating cost per/hour coupled with the necessity to recoup heavy upfront aircraft development, airworthiness certification and manufacturing facility buildout costs dictates that a fiscally responsible enterprise initially cannot charge the price of an Uber/Lyft ride and expect to turn a profit ... especially when passenger seating is limited to a 4-6 person capacity. Per trip, that would generate between $120 to $300 per eVTOL short shuttle load which is insufficient to service debt + payback obligations to investors/shareholders + run day-to-day operations + expand.
Akin to the rollout of cellular in 1983, pricing for eVTOL flight service must initially be high and therefore affordable by the richer and more affluent. Even to this day, how many middle income people take a helicopter to the airport versus a taxicab, car or subway train?
[THE GOOD NEWS: THERE IS A PATH TO SUCCESS IN THE eVTOL INDUSTRY!]
As an avid cheerleader for and subject matter expert on the Urban Air Mobility ("UAM") market and the eVTOL technology behind it (aerospace vehicle design, navigation, wireless telecommunications, AI, network, IoT, safety systems and etcetera), my partners and I will be speaking out more on educating the public, regulators and industry on what it will take to ensure all around success and heavy profitability like we experienced in the development of the domestic public cellular telephone industry which continues to thrive and grow at an astronomical rate.
Archer is but one of dozens of eVTOL developers that includes Joby Aviation, Wisk, and others. No matter how much money institutional and public investors pour into any particular eVTOL company there is no guarantee for success except for those who do not ignore the factors for success and lessons learned by their emerging technology predecessors.
