Then picture and sound move to the second chain (B-reel) to show actuality, the actuality picture sometimes being bridged at some points by the sound of narration on the A-reel.
Begin matching the original with the work print by placing the first shot of the original on one reel (the “A” reel) and the second shot on another reel (the “B” reel). Continue alternating from the A reel to the B reel as you conform.
When the timing goes from a B reel to an A reel, the composer should be aware of how to write for this situation. The music in the outgoing reel should end at the end of the reel.

examples: Virilio argues thar the latest and most pervasive form of technology as ideology is techno-fundamentalism. Such fundamentalism is, for Virilio, merely a furtherance of the scientific will to power, but one that begins to become the dominant frame through which our existence is measured.
I'm afraid your techno-fundamentalism is as mindless and as full of evil potential as Christian fundamentalism (or Islamic fundamentalism, etc.)
They call it "techno-fundamentalism" because there's no reason to believe we will necessary find technology to solve all our problems in time to prevent disasters. There's only faith in the potential of technology.
Techno-fundamentalism assumes not only the means and will to triumph over adversity through gadgets and schemes but also the sense that invention is the best of all possible methods of confronting problems.
However, in 2011 Say Chan found that something interesting had started to happen to OLPC’s XO laptop in Peru. In the rural region of Puno, locals recognized the deep techno-fundamentalism of its “air drop” deployment model, noting that “when they arrived, there was no option [other than to accept them]” (2014).
Instead of solutionism and techno-fundamentalism, we need to carefully explore the terms on which problems and solutions are made.

examples: The class discussion that ensued after her statement confirmed that having limited technology distractions helped the students realize that not only did they self-interrupt themselves, but they were causing their own perceptions of overload by being so responsive to others.
As was mentioned in a previous section, the lure of digital technology may also be having a wider impact on the potential for individuals to automatically ‘self-interrupt’ their current activities.
We don’t know exactly why people self-interrupt. There can, in fact, be different reasons. People may self-interrupt to take a break. People may self-interrupt out of habit or may even be conditioned to self-interrupt. One reason that could explain some self-interruptions is that they occur when people need a problem to incubate.
This test helps to (a) build your executive stamina and train your brain not to act on impulses immediately, and (b) determine whether the urge to self-interrupt is a habit or a need for a brief disconnection.

self-interruption
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Etymology: From self- + interruption or self-interrupt + -ion.
Base: interruption
Affixes: self-
Inflected forms:
form: self-interruptions
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: The act of self-interrupting.
pos: noun
examples: Self-interruption often shows in the form of various tensions through which clients attempt to limit potential felt-upset. They are literally tensing to brace themselves for the impact of the feared trigger or upsetting experience. Sometimes self-interruption appears in the context of other tasks, particularly empty chair tasks, in which clients engage in a dialogue with an imagined, significant other and are unable to stay with, or express, a particular experience out of the fear of the experience or the other’s imagined response.
What emotional self-interruptions do through affective means, manipulative self-interruptions achieve through suggesting missing logical connections whether accurate or fallacious.
A further interesting point was that when an individual experiences an external interruption in the preceding hours they significantly increase their chances of initiating a self-interruption in the subsequent hour.
When trying to do focused work, studies show that self-interruptions occur at nearly the same frequency as external interruptions, except that we are less aware of them - a sign that we are acting on autopilot.

Senses:
gloss: A former spouse (from a previous marriage after a divorce).
pos: noun
examples: It must be maddening to know the chap has some more to spend, but one can't get at it. And after the divorce—and it is stricly comme il faut to divorce a millionaire husband with acrimony—the ex-spouses complain bitterly of being unable to maintain the life of luxury to which they have been trained on the paltry alimony forthcoming for the purpose.
Diane was married to Phil for 15 years and to Jim for 21 years. Phil was the higher earner, with a full retirement benefit of $2,442. Jim's full retirement benefit was $2,136. Diane's own full retirement benefit was only $963.
Diane began by collecting half of Phil's benefits at age 66 - $1,221. Her plan was to switch to her own benefit at age 70 when it would have grown to $1,271.
But before she reached age 70, Jim passed away. He had waited until age 70 to begin his own benefits, meaning they had grown to $2,819. Diane was eligible to collect the surviving divorced spouse benefit of $2,819 - an increase in monthly benefits of $1,598 over what she was collecting on Phil's earnings record. That is a lifetime difference of more than $383,000, if she lives to be 90.
"You can switch back and forth with multiple ex-spouses," says Jim Blankenship, a financial planner who specializes in Social Security benefits. "It's sort of the Elizabeth Taylor scenario."
The Hollywood star actually stayed married to just one of her seven husbands long enough to meet Social Security's ten-year rule - Richard Burton. Their 1964 marriage did last more than ten years - and they tied the knot a second time for about 9 months in 1975.
Both of their spouses - well, ex-spouse in regard to Sergey Brin - come from the field of medicine. So they have a personal investment there.
Women filing as heads of households for the first time may get walloped, so it’s important to have a tax projection along with the divorce decree, Ms. George said.
Without expert guidance, either ex-spouse can land in financial hot water.

examples: It is Spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and- rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea.
The sky was Bible black in Lyon / When I met the Magdalene / She was paralysed in a streetlight / She refused to give her name
A little further along the coast, watched by lines of Bible-black cormorants, a monument was unveiled in 2022 commemorating Chile's role in returning Shackleton and his men to Punta Arenas: next to a section of hull from the good ship Yelcho is a statue of its captain, Luis Pardo, pointing southwards out to sea.
Once used to describe the intense black of a starless night in Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood, Bible Black is an inky violet shade that adds richness and depth to any feature, inside or out.

BIY
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Initialism of buy it yourself, inspired by DIY.
Inflected forms:
Senses:
gloss: The act of purchasing materials for a project (typically a home renovation) and then hiring a professional to use them.
pos: noun
tags: uncountable
examples: UBM, which has 120 fully‐stocked branches around Britain, sees a growing demand for what it calls the B.I.Y. (buy-it-yourself) market of self‐contractors who select their components and then pay a tradesman for installation.
BIY is where consumers buy the materials for professionals to fit. "According to the Polycell Report, from Reed's Polycell Products, DIY is being replaced by BIY (Buy-it-yourself),"
B&Q has been learning lessons in China from the moment it opened its first store in 1999. People here prefer the term BIY - buy it yourself, and then employ labour to do the work for them.
It is less DIY, however, than BIY: Buy-it-Yourself.

In a book on management, Laszlo Bock, Google's longtime HR boss, wrote that the company hired for “Googley” traits: humility, conscientiousness, and “comfort with ambiguity.” Being willing to plunge down a slide at work without shame—that's Googley. Being Googley had a motto: “Don't politick. Use data.”

Pornhub
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: compound
Etymology: From porn (“pornography”) + hub (“a central facility providing a range of related services”), so-called because the website hosts pornographic videos; but Pornhub was originally part of a parent company called Interhub upon its foundation, from which it thus possibly receives its name. Coined by founder Matt Keezer in May 2007. The noun sense is derived from the prominence of Pornhub.
Compound parts: porn
hub
Inflected forms:
form: Pornhubs
pos: noun
tags: plural
Senses:
gloss: A pornographic website; a porn tube.
pos: noun
tags: informal
examples: As invasive as the Googles and Pornhubs of the world having access to our most private searches may be, it does occasionally give us a wider, more accurate view of ourselves. Can you imagine a Gallup poll on pornogaphic habits? Probably not.
Addressing Twitter's inability to rein in pornographic content, DisinfoLab has compiled a report on its lax policy, which fails to keep a check on objectionable videos that can be easily accessible on the platform. Calling Twitter the "PornHub"^([sic]) of social media, the report said that videos of child pornography and even rape are available freely on the platform despite its publicised stance of "zero tolerance."
The lewd lesson in question also included Michelangelo's Creation of Adam painting and Botticelli's Birth of Venus. By that thinking, I guess all the breasts and bottoms on display make the Sistine Chapel the Pornhub of the 16th century.

Inflected forms:

gloss: Failing to receive any routine vaccination; having received no doses of a particular vaccine.
pos: adj
tags: not-comparable
examples: To do this, it is important to update existing estimates of the frequency of zero-dose children in countries with recent data. Next, there is a need to understand how children move out of the zero-dose group towards full immunisation.
Before the vaccination campaign, 17.3% of children under 9 months were DTP zero-dose and 4.3% of children 9–60 months were measles zero-dose.
Over a 24-year period in India, child zero-dose status was shaped by large-scale social inequalities and remained a consistent marker of generalised vulnerability. Interventions that address this cycle of intergenerational inequities should be prioritised.
One in five children worldwide are now zero-dose or under-vaccinated, meaning they’ve missed out entirely or partially on routine immunization. Those are levels we’ve not seen since 2008.
“We normally vaccinate between 200 to 300 people per day. There are so many children coming here who are zero-dose,” says Nelson, referring to children who have not received their first diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus vaccine (DTP1).

But, even in the design of these new media strategies, many experiences consumers are having are vague, disjointed, or undefined.
I was legitimately using Pinterest to find lesson ideas, home decorating tips, and healthy recipes. But somehow along the way I discovered the Humor category. And the rest is history. From that point on, my Pinteresting was no longer productive. Those little cartoons with the sarcastic yet truthful sayings make me laugh every time.
"Eh. Maybe a little. I guess he did some stuff. Built the kitchen, redid the bathrooms, changed all the flooring, painted all the walls ..."
"But you Pinterested hard," Audrey pointed out.
"I did. I really did. Thank you for noticing."
Even if we start with a mini-Sabbath, say just a few hours every weekend, we can find that restful place for ourselves. You can turn off your computer and your phone. You can stop texting, emailing, Instagramming, tweeting, Facebooking, TikTok-ing, Pinteresting, downloading, and using apps. You don't have to be in touch 24/7. It's not going to kill you. It may help you live longer.
