NEW: NFL snow games present a big challenge for TV/streaming producers and directors. But it's also amazing optics.
I spoke to the producer/director of the Browns-Steelers and Bills-Niners games to learn what it's like to do a snow game on TV/streaming.

This week and last month, farmers drove their tractors into central London, protesting changes to agricultural policy.
Though they came from across the UK, their journeys reflect a long history in which farming has become ever-more marginalised and precarious.

Finally taking a dip in this pool. Hardy doesn't drag his prose through the garden, but boy does he get the job done. The characters are simply drawn, yet so vivid. I'm IN Melbourne as the 20th Century gets rolling.
Highly recommend.

The video alone tingles the spine.
Yutaka Take returns to spine-tingling chants of “YU-TA-KA” from the adoring Tokyo crowd after winning the Japan Cup aboard the outstanding Heart's Cry five-year-old Do Deuce.
That's five Japan Cups for Take and five JRA G1 wins for Do Deuce. 🇯🇵🏆
