though she be but little, she is fierce. – Shakespeare
Home work from home
God, Family, Career
Independent, strong, confident women!
That is the inspiration for my next project. I plan to do multiple interviews with several women from all kinds of backgrounds in the coming weeks. Luckily, a friend of mine agreed to interview for this project and share her story about becoming a successful entrepreneur.
Meet Sasha !
Sasha Bernstein is a Mary Kay Consultant, and a very good one at that. She has been consulting for a little over a year, and has had quite the journey in entrepreneurship. She currently has a team of twenty other young women, all of whom have found confidence and success with the Mary Kay brand. I had the pleasure of doing a facial with her the other night and learned so much!
I have some serious skin issues, which messes with my confidence daily. Redness, blotchiness, and unpredictable acne trouble me on a regular basis. I have always tried to find thick foundation to hide my short-comings and have purchased MANY cleansers over the years and nothing has seemed to help. During the facial with Sasha, I have discovered a new product that she swears by. She has had several clients with the same issues as mine (I am not alone!) and the Charcoal Mask by Mary Kay has worked for them! I have got mine on order! You can get yours here !
Sasha is a wife, mother of three, and runs a successful business from home with Mary Kay. In just one year she has become the top recruiter in Indiana! How many women can say they have had that much accomplishment at their careers in that short of time? Pretty remarkable. When I asked Sasha why she does what she does, she smiled and said, “my two goals were to reach women and make money”.
For many mothers, it is difficult to have a job and feel like you are putting enough effort in parenting at the same time (I certainly feel this way). With Mary Kay, being a stay-at-home mom and a career-woman at the same time is MORE than possible. Sasha said the Mary Kay brand really resonated with her because it is about God first, Family second, and Career third.
Sasha and I spoke about how Mary Kay has affected her life. “It has definitely brought me so much emotional fulfillment and awareness in my personal life. It has even strengthened my marriage! I wanted to use Mary Kay to spread the love,” she said. Similar to myself and my blog I definitely related to Sasha when she said “I wanted something that was my own”. Mary Kay gives women everywhere an opportunity to have something of their very own (that can bring them a paycheck) and create a bonded community of like-minded individuals. Sasha’s favorite part of her Mary Kay journey has been the people and her team. “We all work our businesses so differently, but we’re all supportive and very connected.”
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward success, Sasha has an amazing deal for you !
I’d love to hear feedback from you guys and your personal experience with Mary Kay, so please leave a comment below! Sasha is also available for any questions and consultations !

After completing this book, I m not sure if I would categorize it as a biography of Carole Lombard or a historical look at a tragic event that took place in an era when commercial air travel was in its infancy.The author does a commendable job of setting the scene of late 1930s and early 40s Hollywood and introducing us to the various players who attracted movie goers willing to spend a dime to escape in the celluloid, bigger than life pictures and contract players of the time I confess that I k [...]
I began to read this with some trepidation I didn t want these two to lose their luster I also didn t want to cry over them, but I was resigned to that when one of a loving couple is going to crash into a mountain in the course of a book, tears are going to happen In the end, was the Great Love Affair between Gable and Lombard everything fond fans say it was I don t know Probably not Two words Lana Turner Would they have been divorced in a few years Maybe But it doesn t really matter It s sort o [...]

Carole Lombard was one of those rare people in perpetually catty Hollywood who seems not have left behind anyone who could say a bad word about her Her boundless energy, generous heart, delicious sense of humor, down to earth sexiness, and general exuberance have endeared her to generations of fans so that she is still lovingly remembered than 70 years after her shocking, tragic death I cannot remember how I ever discovered Carole Lombard perhaps in My Man Godfrey but I have enjoyed both the on [...]
This book is part biography and part the story of a tragic accident, in which actress Carole Lombard and twenty one other people lost their lives Much of the wreckage of TWA Flight 3, the commercial airliner which crashed on the evening of January 16th, 1942, is still strewn across the side of Mount Potosi in Nevada The author actually climbed to the crash site and it took him four and a half hours to ascend the steep mountain slope It can only be imagined how hard it was to mount a rescue missi [...]

OK, I devoured this in a day, given the intersection of my love of vintage Hollywood, calamities, and WWII Matzen does a great job with research, but I m giving him four stars instead of five because of his unfortunate reliance on what he called extrapolation, or the insertion of his thoughts into the unknowable, interior lives of Gable, Lombard, and others I don t understand this intrusion because it weakens his book His chapters on the crash and its investigation are stronger than the Hollywoo [...]
Jim Dooley
This is a very informative book about one of Hollywood s best loved stars, the Dream romance of Hollywood royalty, and the tragedy of a plane crash that has long served as fodder for conspiracy theorists The danger of such a book is that it may be nothing but a bare bones rehashing of details but, put your mind to rest FIREBALL is very much worth the read and is mostly engaging Mostly engaging Okay, that does deserve an explanation The writer chose a stylistic approach that I found to be quite d [...]
This certainly was a page turner I had no problem with the switch between the Lombard biography and the events leading up to the crash I found the biography of Lombard to be bio lite easy to skim and clearly cribbed from the sources The meat of the research went into the files on the crash and the aftermath, recovery and final investigation, this was very good I like that he gave names and stories of the other victims of this accident, Lombard was the big name, but there were others on board Tha [...]
The further I got into this book the less I liked it The first part is a fairly shallow biography of Carole Lombard, with brief flash forwards to the plane crash that took her life Around midway through, the focus of the book shifts entirely to the crash itself and the investigation into its possible causes I would have preferred that the book spend time on Lombard s life and less on her death, but what annoyed me about the book was the style of the writing.Author Robert Matzen so frequently re [...]
The author suggests at the start of the book that he has discovered something about the plane crash that killed Carole Lombard We are led to believe it is, perhaps, something sinister because Orson Welles once said at lunch to Henry Jaglom, the plane was shot down, and those who know, know Really that s a revelation With no evidence to support it it s just a man talking at lunch Also Matzen uses the word surreal at least a dozen times and always incorrectly.In fact, Matzen has absolutely nothing [...]

GNab I received a free electronic copy of this biography from Netgalley, Robert Matzen, and GoodKnight Publishing in exchange for an honest review Thank you all, for sharing your hard work with me.This biography covering the last few years of the life and of the death of Carole Lombard, and the effect of the tragedy of Flight 3 on both Hollywood and the families of the other victims of that plane crash on January 16, 1942 This is an thorough follow up on the Air Transport Command, Army Air Force [...]
FIREBALL by Robert MatzenOne of Hollywood s biggest tragedies involving one of its biggest mysteries and one of its biggest love stories.It would have been so easy for Robert Matzen to fill 300 pages with Hollywood glitz, romance, and grief He would not have been lying, or even exaggerating this part of the story that is the crash of TWA3 But those headlines have been covered before Hollywood s Queen of Screwball marries the unchallenged King of Hollywood, but their happily ever after is cut sho [...]
Denise Morse
This book is biography and telling of the events that surround the crash rather than the mystery of it It doesn t really seem like there was too much of a mystery and not a lot of stock was placed in the idea of sabotage or foul play What this book does do well is tell an abbreviated story of the life of Carole Lombard, her upbringing, her love life and her rise to fame It also does a good job of chronicling the life of her friends and especially of Clark Gable The story of the hike to the wrec [...]
Rather perfect match of author and subject This dude CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN WHERE CAROLE S PLANE CRASHED There are still pieces of the plane up there because it s so remote and hard to get to Matzen tells a full and fair story, including the heartwrenching backgrounds of the other 21 souls on the plane that night and not making Lombard out to be too saintly or too tainted An excellent addition to both the scholarship and worship of Golden Hollywood.
Good read for those who like old Hollywood Sad that if one small change had occurred, she would have lived She was a great actress and wonderful person Shame her life was taken at such a young age.
P.e. lolo
The author opens the book by talking about his climb to the wreckage and how steep it is and that still to this day there is no trail to the top of the mountain Once at the crash site he describes that even after all of these years there are still pieces of the plane on the mountain, scattered about along with other objects that he found along with the guide who took him there From there he begins the story with Carole Lombard, born Jane Alice Peters, from Fort Wayne Indiana After her father was [...]
I received this as a free copy for review from NetGalley.An interesting book, but somewhat disappointing Given the title of the book, I knew not to expect a biography on Lombard, but was still expecting a bit than what was given While this was a book that was meant to explore Lombard s death in a mysterious plane crash, I rarely felt like I cared about her at all She was described as a fireball, sweet, a woman who cussed, and one who was unbelievably generous The problem was these descriptions [...]

Was led to this one by my favorite old timey movie blog, greenbriarpictureshowsspo, and I have yet to get a bad film book recommendation through it The blogger and the author are bros If you re looking for a pretty exhaustive exploration into the time before and after the plane crash that claimed Carole Lombard s life, this here is the one The author also gives significant time to everyone else on that flight and goes waaaay into Clark Gable s psychological makeup as well Yeah, compelling stuff [...]
Thad Komorowski
A solid, appropriately emotional book on one of Hollywood s seldom spoken tragedies The writing can get too conversational at times, and despite the attempt at neutrally presenting possible causes of the crash, the author greatly implies sabotage was the likeliest culprit Not that there s anything wrong with that conclusion Unlike the majority of books on Hollywood, Fireball is astoundingly researched, with plenty of fresh interviews and documentation to back up any claims Recommended for anyone [...]
An interesting account of the death of a major Hollywood star at the pinnacle of her career I didn t know much about Carol Limbard just that she was a beautiful Hollywood star who was married to Clark Gable, and that she was killed in a plane crash This book alternates biographical chapters about Lumbards life, with chapters that focus on the search and recovery efforts after the crash I found the story interesting and informative, and not too sensationalistic A definite thumbs up and worth read [...]
Exceptionally well written Lots of inside Hollywood stuff, not just juicy tidbits about the stars, but important details about the relationships between Carole Lombard and her contemporaries in the days leading up to the second world war Carole Lombard insisted on flying back from Indianapolis to Burbank rather than taking a train errors between the pilot and co pilot resulted in their DC 3 flying right into a mountain outside of Las Vegas.
Rosie Genova
Meticulously researched and full of compelling detail, for an old Hollywood fan like myself, this book was a thrilling but heartbreaking read I could have done without the author s assuming Clark Gable s consciousness, however Just tell it to me straight, dude Overall, however, a recommended summer read.
Robert Matzen cleverly converges stories of the ill fated flight 3 from multiple perspectives to give fascinating texture to this tale without deviating from the facts Even those who are not familiar with Carole Lombard will be drawn in to the series of events that led to tragedy A first rate account that is gripping from page one.
Kathi Jackson
What a good, albeit tragic, book I enjoyed getting to know Lombard, especially when she and Gable find each other About half of the book is about the tragic plane crash and remembers others who died besides Carol.
Clark Gable and Carole Lombard were the darlings of Hollywood when the US entered WWII as a result of the attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 Lombard, being patriotic and decisive, determined that she and Clark should involve themselves in the war effort While her famous husband served as president of the Hollywood Victory Committee, Lombard was engaged to sell bonds in the heartland On January 12, 1942, she set off for her home state of Indiana and as a true star and rousing presence, sh [...]
Wendi Manning
This is a very fast read I m also sick in bed, so I didn t do much else but read, so I could be wrong about that I read it in a day though, so you probably could too What I m not wrong about is that you should never put fiction into a nonfiction book No one but Clark Gable knows what he thought when he heard that Carole Lombard was dead Since he is also dead, that knowledge isn t ever going to be available and all of the research in the world isn t going to make it appear The thoughts in the min [...]
Terry Nesmith
This is a captivating account of the not only Lombard and Gable but of the crew, flight, politics, and rescue recovery mission It reads like a novel and I could not help wondering how this book would make an excellent movie Jennifer Lawrence or Jessica Chastain as Lombard I place it on the same shelf as Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand and the Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger.
What an interesting story of Carole Lombard and the crash which killed her and others The book covers all of the people aboard The story does go back through her life some but the object of the story is to cover the crash and the effort to rescue those on that mountain It is well written and really kept my interest Well researched.
Lee A. Smith
Very Good HistoryThis was a subject I knew little about I found the chronology very good, going between the crash and earlier lives Sometimes this is annoying but for me it was well done.
eric j mcquiston
Very interesting book This was a story of not only Carole Lombard but of numerous people involved in the crash of flight 3 It is amazing how lives were changed and how this crash came about.

From Guerilla Gardening to Diners in the Streets – How Communities Use Tactical Urbanism to Drive Change
Written by: Zach Noyes
Zach is an undergraduate student studying City and Regional Planning at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. His summer has been spent interning with ABA’s Strategic and Master Planning service areas and he has been able to explore the professional world in different ways, including leading an exploratory DesignLab for ABA Team Members about Tactical Urbanism. One belief Zach shares is that thinking about architecture and interior design from the lens of an urban planning student can introduce a new, thoughtful element to our design.

At Birch Street Plaza in Boston, local citizens partnered with architecture firm Merrit-Chase and inspired the transformation of a short through street into a paseo using duct tape and milk crates. By taping a pattern onto the asphalt and grouping milk crates into semi-permanent furnishings, this group suspended vehicular flow but induced plenty of foot traffic to support the small businesses lining the street.
The display left such a positive mark on the community that the city authorized permanent construction of a plaza pulling design from the original impromptu display. This temporary and cheap display of defiance by the public not only created an economic attraction but conjured a sense of place sought after by urban designers and architects in every concept they create.
This is Tactical Urbanism.

What is tactical urbanism?
Tactical Urbanism, as defined by the Street Plan Collaborative’s Tactical Urbanism Volume 5, is a “city and/or citizens-led approach to neighborhood building using short-term, low-cost, and scalable interventions intended to catalyze long-term change”.
Tactical Urbanism leverages the creativity and local knowledge of residents to provide meaningful interventions with the greater purpose of transforming the way their public space is constructed and used. Not to be confused with its close relative “Tactical Suburbanism” which consists solely of block parties and yard sales, Tactical Urbanism comes in many forms, from guerrilla gardening to constructing parks in the middle of city streets to popup cafes.
These interventions, though varied in their actual form, possess five qualities common to Tactical Urbanism:
1. It instigates change
Interventions are created not with the intention of longevity, rather to spark a shift in the use of an existing asset in the public realm.
Source: Treehugger
2. It’s local
Those who live in a neighborhood know it better than any architect, planner, or administrator. Resident’s creativity is tailored to the region and more likely to optimize the available resources.
Source: Smart Growth Online
3. It’s not permanent
Permitting and red-tape play their part in slowing down parklets and food trucks, but the impromptu nature of Tactical Urbanism means interventions can be set up and taken down after they gain traction.
Source: Tactical Urbanism Guide
4. It comes with low risk and high reward
Duct tape, milk crates, sandbags, quick-pour concrete, paint, and used tires are all low-cost tools in creating a demonstration that could ultimately resolve in a permanent change to hardscape more suited for a public.
5. It develops social capital
Community-building and placemaking are two concepts desired by most neighborhoods and boosting the organizational capabilities of locals increases the interactions between them long after their work is over.
Source: Safe Routes Partnership
Today, during the COVID-19 pandemic, a quick stroll through any downtown area will undoubtedly reveal the works of Tactical Urbanism. Restaurants and shops spilling into the sidewalks, impromptu bike lanes and sidewalks placed in the roadway, and parks full of church service on Sunday mornings all utilize concepts from the 5 principles above to temporarily shake-up the public realm. But the overwhelmingly positive response by citizens in cities like San Luis Obispo, CA has secured long-term implementation of bike lanes and parklets, lasting beyond the pandemic if they continue to garner use from the public. This is a textbook demonstration of the permanent change inspired by temporary interventions.
Why Tactical Urbanism?
The driving force behind this spatial activism is a long-lasting pattern of not prioritizing those individuals who actually use public space. We look back to brutalism and modernism in the field of architecture and reflect on the spaces it created between our buildings. Void of ornamentation, the ground-level became an emotionless plane of monotonous hardscape, not to be broken by loitering or other activities. Existing plazas featured flat expanses with zero dynamism, no seating and nothing to interest passersby and bring them together. The goal was to corral people through the public spaces as quickly as possible and prevent use of the spaces for anything human.
As well, the dominant figure in America’s public space during this period became the car. The shrinking public realm grew even smaller for pedestrians as city officials authorized more roadways to truck in suburbanites and leave those dwelling in the city were forced to shimmy along sidewalks more akin to a tightrope than a walkway. These factors contribute ultimately to an environment void of character and usability, thus inspiring the revolts characterized under Tactical Urbanism.
How to apply Tactical Urbanism
The focus thus far has been on defining Tactical Urbanism and analyzing its origins. But how can we apply the methodology used by Tactical Urbanists to our design? Our attention is not always centered on the plazas and sidewalks mentioned primarily throughout this blog, but it is important to pay attention as to how our entryways, facades, and forms influence what people can and cannot do around our buildings. We have to remember that our role is to represent the goals of the community in the buildings we create, but sometimes the best way to do that is to establish a blank canvas for citizens themselves to change and mold to their needs.
As designers, architects, and planners it is our job to ensure our spaces are fluid, malleable, and easily changed by no more than the citizens that inhabit them on a daily basis. Much like the street yields itself to tactical urbanists repurposing their spaces for the best use, our places must yield themselves and support public expression and creation.

1960 (7 Dec)
The first 10 of 29 F-102 Delta Dagger aircraft, replacing F-86s of the Hawaii Air National Guard arrived.
There was a flurry of construction activity at HNL and an overtaxing of the old facilities on the South Ramp. There were a total of 262,596 operations. Total passengers handled: 1,535,262.
1960 (31 Dec)
Commercial passenger traffic increased 33.3 percent in 1960.
1961 (13 Jan)
Use of Dillingham AFB by privately owned aircraft was the subject of a meeting due to concerns about the increasing hazards of air traffic at HNL. When privately owned Kipapa airstrip was converted to housing, the military was approached for use of Wheeler or Bellows. This was not considered feasible by the military so Dillingham AFB was offered instead and a proposed lease negotiated.
Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and Mrs. Johnson stopped at Hickam AFB en route to Southeast Asia.
There were 35 aircraft assigned to PACAFBASECOM: 9 C-470s, 2 C-54Ds, 2 54Es, 1 VC-54G, 18 T-33As, 2 C-118As and 1 C-121A.
1961 (1 July)
The Department of Transportation officially took over all functions previously managed by the Hawaii Aeronautics Commission. The Airports Division was organized as the successor of the HAC. It was organized into Districts, originally analogous to the Counties of the State and was headed by a Division Staff. The Hawaii District included General Lyman Field, Kona, Kamuela and Upolu Airports. The Maui District included Kahului, Hana, Molokai, Kalaupapa and Lanai Airports. Oahu District administered Honolulu International. Airport and some aspects of Dillingham Field. Kauai District managed Lihue and Port Allen Airports.

1962 (22 Aug)
The new John Rodgers Terminal was dedicated on August 22, 1962 by the State of Hawaii, the administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, and the president of United Air Lines. In honor of the occasion, Pan American Airways delayed its Flight 843 from San Francisco 50 minutes so as to be the first arrival at the new terminal. The project cost $38 million.
1962 (6 Oct)
Project Mercury astronaut Commander Walter M. Schirra Jr., accompanied by all seven original astronauts except Alan B. Sheppard, arrived with debriefing teams at Hickam AFB following the six-orbit manned flight made on October 3, 1962 and recovered 165 miles northeast of Midway.
Overseas operations at the old HNL terminal on the South Ramp ceased at midnight.
Prior to 1962 the major source of operating revenue for the Airport Special Fund was the aviation fuel tax. Although landing fees were collected, the amounts were very small ranging from a high of $2 for aircraft weighing more than 27,000 pounds down to a minimum of $0.25 for aircraft under 5,000 pounds.
Additions were made to Lihue Airport’s terminal and hangars were erected.
1962 (1 April)
The naval station at Ford Island was decommissioned.
1963 (19 March)
A drinking water system was completed at Hana Airport, so water no longer had to be trucked in.
A Joint Use Agreement between Hickam AFB and Honolulu International Airport, was signed by Brig. Gen. John A. Rouse, Commander, PACAFBASECOM; and Dr. Fujio Matsuda, Director of Transportation for the State of Hawaii. It specified that for the purpose of overall aerial and ground operations, Hickam AFB and HNL comprised a single airport complex.
1963 (24 April)
The first phase of a new jet runway at General Lyman Field was completed.
The Annual Report to the Governor calls HNL the Crossroads of the Pacific and says it was the ninth busiest airport in the United States in terms of air operations. Military air operations had risen to 125,000 in 1960 and were 41 percent of the total of 304,113.
The Annual Report also pointed out the need for a general aviation reliever airport somewhere near central Oahu because the 94,000 general aviation air operations were conflicting with air carrier use of HNL.
The report also mentioned a continuing need for a seaward jet runway which was needed because military fuel tanker aircraft were making noisy and dangerous takeoffs over Honolulu.
The Airports Division Balance Sheet of June 30, 1963 showed assets of $90.9 million and a fund balance of $51.2 million.
Work was completed on additions to the new HNL Terminal, the Ramp Control Tower, Aloha Airlines lounges and an office building. Other improvements were additions to Ramp Building 4, construction of taxiways and aprons, construction of new lei vendor stands, landscaping, construction of elevated walkways and ground level holding rooms, installation of a paging system, hangar construction, repair of operational areas and service roads, and the construction of a cargo building. A contract was let to destroy the old terminal building.
The Visitor’s Information Program was incorporated into the Airports Division.
President John F. Kennedy visited Hawaii landing at HNL.
Successful negotiations between the State and military resulted in a five-year revocable agreement permitting the general public to use 46.1 acres along a one-mile stretch of Bellows Beach.
1963 (2 Nov)
An all-weather instrument runway was opened at Kahului Airport, making Kahului the first Neighbor Island airport to have all-weather instrument landing capability.
Pan American Airways initiated jet service to Tahiti from Honolulu.
A master lease was signed with the major airlines present in Hawaii. This document would guide landing fees, leasing fees and support charges for more than 30 years. Leases were granted to: Aloha Airlines, British Overseas Airways Corp., Canadian Pacific Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, Japan Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, Pan American World Airways, Philippine Air Lines, Qantas Empire Airways and United Air Lines. The term of the Airport-Airline lease was for 20 years with two five-year options to extend the lease. The purpose of the Lease negotiations was the concept of airport financing by landing fees to replace the aviation fuel tax. The landing fee was called the Airport Use Charge. The fees were to be renegotiated every five years. The plan provided that interisland airlines would pay a reduced airport use charge which was 9 percent of the Airport Use Charge collected from overseas carriers. Fuel taxes paid by the carrier were credited against the airport use charge.
1964 (13 Feb)
A near catastrophe occurred at General Lyman Field. After landing, an interisland aircraft rolled off the end of the runway, across the road and into a ditch, causing minor injuries to the passengers and a wrecked airplane.
By June 30, night flights had been inaugurated by both Aloha and Hawaiian Airlines.
The Annual Report for FY 1963-1964 again pointed out the need for a general aviation reliever airport. Pressure was applied by the community to have a seaward runway constructed for noise abatement and to eliminate potential hazards from heavily laden tankers taking off over downtown Honolulu. The PACAFBASECOM Commander’s position was that the Air Force could not justify financing such a seaward runway since the existing 12,600-foot runway adequately met operational needs.
In 1964, HNL handled 144,697 air operations which amounted to 49 percent of total air operations in the state.
Both Runways 4L and 4R at HNL were resurfaced and a barrier arresting system was installed at the departure end of Runway 8 so as to provide a capability to save a fighter aircraft with takeoff or landing problems.

A strike against United and Northwest Airlines caused reduced traffic for 43 days. Pan American took care of some of the stranded passengers. The Red Cross furnished cots and blankets and as many as 200 people were sleeping in the terminal at various times.
A dedication was held at Lanai Airport for the extension of the runway, resurfacing and widening of the existing runway, construction of taxiway and apron and a new terminal building as well as the relocation of the existing freight terminal building. Cost was $817,000.
President Lyndon B. Johnson arrived at Hickam AFB en route to a conference with President Ferdinand Marcos in Manila.
Planning was underway to prepare HNL for new and larger jet planes such as the stretch out (DC-8-61) and the 747.
Five thousand feet of the pavement of Runway 8L was rehabilitated, including 2,000 feet of Hickam’s portion.

The first men to circle the moon—Apollo 8 astronauts Air Force Col. Frank Borman, Navy Capt. James A. Lovell Jr. and Air Force Major William A. Anders–arrived at Hickam AFB en route to the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. They set foot on American soil for the first time since their lift off from Florida. Apollo 8 splashed down at 1051 on December 27, 1968 about 1,000 miles southwest of Hawaii to conclude the historic lunar orbit mission.
The stretched DC-8-61 was put into service and Pan American World Airways announced plans to place the 400 passenger Boeing 747 into service by 1970.

The Pacific Aerospace Museum placed its first exhibit, an F-86 Sabrejet, of Korean War vintage, in the garden area of HNL near the Customs Building.

1969 (Jan-June)
Expansion of HNL continued, with Lagoon Drive (airport perimeter road) moved to make room for the extension of Runway 4R-22L, and construction of additional parking spaces, an air taxi wing, and interisland terminal. In addition, a hydraulic model of the proposed reef runway was built to investigate water pollution, tidal wave possibilities, and impact on Hickam Harbor.
Groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the start of construction on the Diamond Head Gull Wing at HNL which will be able to accommodate the Boeing 747.
Vice President Spiro T. Agnew and Secretary of State William P. Rogers landed at Hickam AFB.

Gizmodo Twitter Account Hijacked by Foul-Mouthed Hackers
Mike Isaac in Social on August 3, 2012 at 5:55 pm PT
The technology site Gizmodo’s Twitter account was taken over on Friday evening for a brief period from approximately 5:15 to 5:30 PT. The hijackers appear to be part of a hacking group named “Clan Vv3,” and used the account — which has nearly a half million followers — to post racist and offensive messages. The attackers seem to have gained access after compromising former employee Mat Honan’s e-mail and Twitter account. We’ve reached out to Gawker Media, which owns Gizmodo, for comment.

[caption id="attachment_51567" align="aligncenter" width="580"] Javier Ceppi is happy with the preparation ahead of the FIFA U17 World Cup. File Pic[/caption]
Internet Desk: The football festival known as FIFA U17 World Cup is all set to start in India in a couple of days time. Ahead of the local organising committee's tournament director Javier Ceppi today said the top class infrastructure will be the biggest legacy that the tournament will leave behind in the nation.
For a long period of time, the poor infrastructure was the reason for India’s below par growth in India. But with the first ever FIFA tournament coming to India, the infrastructure of all the venues have improved a lot.
"Infrastructure is going to be the biggest legacy of the World Cup, you have seen how things have been," Ceppi said three days before the start of the tournament.
Except the infrastructure, Ceppi said millions of Indians taking to the sport will be another legacy of the tournament.
"11 million kids taking to football in the country is another legacy. It has brought about a football revolution in India," the Chilean added.
Ceppi assured that India is 100 per cent ready to host the tournament.
"We are in a very good position at the moment as far as preparation is concerned. Everything has been put in place," he said.
Ceppi was not forthcoming when asked to compare the preparation between India and his home country Chile, which has hosted the last edition of the age-group tournament two years ago.
"I don't believe in comparisons, I have always maintained that. I can only say that India has been right up there," he said.

Erin McLeod: It’s time to Motivate a Nation!
It’s time to Motivate a Nation!
VANCOUVER, British Columbia (July 1, 2016) — After building a successful e-commerce (www.peaudeloup.com) and a physical retail store in West Vancouver (CAPOSHIE) Women’s National Team Goalkeeper Erin McLeod has decided after a series of misfortunate events it’s time to branch out on her own with her new inspiration project, Motive Nation, launching to the public on July 1st, online at www.themotivenation.ca.
McLeod, Olympic Bronze medalist in London 2012, recently underwent her third ACL operation after helping her team qualify for the RIO 2016 Olympics. Missing one of the biggest opportunities in her career, there were many questions and discussions whether she would continue playing. McLeod had spoken with Adelle Renaud about potentially releasing a line of her own once she found something she was passionate about.
Following her injury, she started getting an influx of emails from friends, family, teammates, former teammates, and even people she had never met. Most of them were personal stories about overcoming obstacles, experiencing defeat, making mistakes, having courage and determination, and finding one’s inspiration. McLeod knew immediately this not only would help her recovery and return to play, but it was something she wanted to share with the world.
“When I got hurt again it made me realize that motivation and belief are essential to success. I wanted to create something more than just a t-shirt and clothing, I wanted to make something that aligns with who I am and resonates with as many people as possible. Before the 2012 London Olympics my teammates and I made a promise to one another to rise to the games, to each other, to our own performances too and it was one of the most inspirational moments of my life without even stepping onto that field. Although this time things are different, once again I am making that same promise to rise from my situation but also to do my best to inspire others as well as learn from everyone around me. ”
Motive Nation is a simple concept; it is a brand that aims to motivate. Through live interviews and questionnaires, Erin finds inspirational people and words they live by. Those words are artistically put on a t-shirt that sell online for $29 – $39 Canadian dollars plus tax. In addition, 10% of every profit made goes back to those inspirational people or a charity of their choice, and 10% goes to one of my favourite charities Canada Scores.
From Olympians, to CEO’s, soldiers, musicians, hard-working parents, authors, documentary film makers, World Champions, and many more, Motive Nation is a movement where people share their inspiration to get the most out of themselves and one another.

Gongs in the life of the Muong
The gong cultural space of the Muong has been developed during their time-honored cultural and historical tradition, the production, and artistic creation of generations.
The gong as a musical instrument is an important cultural item in the life of the Muong. It appears in all community activities and throughout a person’s lifetime. The Muong consider gongs valuable possession to be preserved from generation to generation.
A set of Muong gongs comprises 12 items representing the 12 months of the year. The Muong play gongs at housewarmings, weddings, and beginning of summer crop ceremonies. Among most Central Highlands ethnic groups, the men play the gongs, but it’s the Muong women who play their gongs.
Bui Chi Thanh, a Muong culture researcher, says bronze drums represent the power of the upper class while gongs are widely used by ordinary people. “Since the 11th century music and the gong cultural space of the Muong have steadily developed. The gong has appeared in all aspects of Muong life and become their symbol.”
The Muong in Tan Lac district, Hoa Binh province, have the largest number of gongs. Phu Vinh commune has about 400 gongs. Poor families have one or two gongs while wealthy families have a full set of 12 gongs. Bui Van Nuom, who has a set of gongs, says he and Phu Vinh villagers have a great love for gongs. Gongs are displayed in an important place in the house and they are frequently discussed by friends and at village meetings. “These gongs were handed down from my father. We display them in the house, use them in celebrations, and bring them to festivals. We won’t sell them but will preserve them for our children.”
(The image of ethnic Muong gongs at Muong Restaurant Kitchen)
People in Phu Vinh commune have a custom of beating the gongs three times to welcome the New Year and invite the souls of their ancestors to return home on New Year’s Eve. The Muong believe that if a family doesn’t beat gongs, their ancestors will not visit their house. Bui Thi Anh says: “Even if we are very poor, we will never sell our gongs. Nothing can replace gongs in our life. Several people have asked to buy our gongs but we resolutely refused.”
The authority of Tan Lac district has worked with the local people to preserve gongs and revitalize traditional festivals to introduce gong performances to Vietnamese and foreign visitors. More than 400 gongs were played at this year’s beginning of summer crop ceremony. Many gong performances evoke the Muong traditional values of thousands of years. Bui Van Dung, Chairman of Phu Vinh commune’s People’s Committee, said: “We have assigned cultural officials to help people collect and preserve gongs. We told them about the significance of gongs so in recent years no family has sold gongs.”

2017 Audubon Photography Awards Show
1/18-2/7/2018
Artist reception during February’s First Friday Art, 5:30-7:30PM
Selected from more than 5,500 entries, the winning photos were published in the Summer 2017 issue of Audubon Magazine and show birdlife at its most vivid, vulnerable, formidable, and elegant. Photographers from 49 states and eight Canadian provinces submitted images in three categories: professional, amateur, and youth. A panel of five judges had the daunting task of sifting through the stunning images and grading them based on technical quality, originality, and artistic merit.
Visit the exhibit to walk among the winning bird photographs from this year’s Audubon Photography Awards and learn more about your local birdlife and Audubon Vermont’s work. From songbirds wreaking havoc on much larger raptors, to couples dancing in the throes of courtship, the spectrum of performances is near infinite.

Vermont Watercolor Society-Burlington Hub
Artist Reception during First Friday Art
“Boundaries”: Boundaries can mean a frontier, or a line that marks limits. In the natural world, our eye is drawn to natural boundaries of mountain ranges, waterways, farms and fences, rocks and trees. Art can also be a way to push the boundaries–to push our own limits and create something new. Whether using traditional means, or finding new ways to go beyond the ordinary, this exhibit showcases watercolor’s possibilities.
Northern Vermont Artist Association

Tom Merwin and the Artists of the Forty Seven Main Street Depot
Artist reception during August’s First Friday Art
“Mental illness is a world condition. Those of us diagnosed and on the front line are resources too often overlooked. We hope to mirror your reflection with ours on the surface of poetry and painting. A painting’s value can have the worth of a glass of water or a single breath, if the action has been successful. If allowed exposure we can work together and rediscover our original voices. While defying marginalization and the pressures of isolation we look forward to see you at the show receiving gifts where eyes meet,” said Tom Merwin. Merwin has painted with his friends for the past four years. Using the visual arts is a valid and proven access to our whole and healed being. Merwin plans to convert his existing gallery to an expanded studio space to create an alternative work place where we can help ourselves while sharing our shared experiences as seeds for potential, and art as a radiant catalyst. He said, “We exhibit as an engaged creative movement to dismantle marginalization, to travel beyond the social construct that separates the mentally and physically disabled from our purpose to contribute and share our discovered truths.”

Vermont Pastel Society 2016 Members’ Show
Opening and awards ceremony during April’s First Friday Art, 6PM.
The organizers of the Vermont Pastel Society 2016 Members’ Show have made some fun and entertaining changes to the usual process of offering no prizes to this non-juried exhibition. The VPS wants to honor the varied and considerable talents of a larger group of artists rather than to just commend a few “top winners”, so several categories of awards with clever titles (Most Luminous Landscape, Most Lively Still Life, etc.) have been chosen to promote and recognize the diverse work of this group. Mickey Myers, Executive Director of Bryan Memorial Gallery in Jeffersonville, brings her playful spirit to the venue as the judge.
Volunteer VPS members have generously donated their time to solicit local and national organizations for prizes. We have garnered wonderful prizes from the following donors: Blick Art Materials, Mt. Vision Pastels, Rochester Art Supply, French Canvas, Dostie Bros. Frame Shop, Artworks, Zephyr Design, Michael Chesley Johnson, Vermont Art Supply, ProArt Critique, Otter Creek Frame Shop, Phoenix Bookstore, City Market and Trader Joe’s.
Ann Allen & Jessica Remmey
Through 3/31/2016
Milton Artists’ Guild artists Ann Allen and Jessica Remmey show their recent work. Ann Allen’s paintings are often inspired by the love and appreciation of family and traditions that make Vermont home. Photographer Jessica Remmey looks for a unique perspective to capture the scenic beauty of Vermont.

Sad Asian Girls Club: Dismantling the stereotype
By Jade Yeo
This female art collective is rounding up Asian girls to extinguish the passive stereotype.
Frustrated with the same racial and gender issues in the Asian-American community, Olivia Park and Esther Fan sought to bring attention to them. These two graphic design students from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) filmed their first video together, attempting to set a familiar situation for other Asian-American girls to relate to. This ultimately led to the creation of Sad Asian Girls Club (SAGC), a female art collective aiming to create work for and about Asian-American girls.
SAGC’s first video, titled “Have You Eaten?” depicts the relationship between Asian-American girls and their immigrant mothers, and boy, did this one really hit home for a lot of viewers on YouTube. This collective is a growing project and community that hands the microphone over to Asian-American girls who are often dismissed as passive in complex issues such as racism, feminism and marginalisation.
It aims to shine a new light on Asian-American women by questioning the misrepresentations and stereotypes surrounding Asian women in the media and subverting them. It also allows them to submit their own innovative works that explore culture and identity. SAGC’s next goal is to include all Asian girls in this social and political discussion *insert standing ovation*, so watch this space. We can’t wait for more projects to come.
Meanwhile, have a look at their first project below and be sure to subscribe to SAGC’s channel for updates.

Home Wealth > News > India Seizes Yes Bank Limits Withdrawals
The move to rescue Yes Bank illustrates the widening damage from India’s shadow banking crisis, which has left the lender with a growing pile of bad loans
Yes Bank had been seeking new capital since 2019, to bolster its ratios and quell questions about its stability/Bloomberg
by Bloomberg
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) seized control of beleaguered Yes Bank, raising concerns about the knock-on effects on the financial system.
The regulator capped withdrawals at INR 50,000 ($682) and imposed strict limits on operations at the country’s fourth-largest private lender, while a rescue plan is devised.
In a statement, RBI said that it was forced to step in after Yes Bank’s latest effort to raise new capital failed to materialise and as the lender was facing regular outflow of liquidity.
Indian authorities have been struggling to contain the turmoil that has choked credit to consumers and small businesses, slowing economic growth to an 11-year low.
The RBI said that in the absence of a credible revival plan, and in public interest and the interest of the bank’s depositors, the regulator had no alternative but to seize Yes Bank.
The takeover will help authorities implement a revival plan after numerous attempts by the lender to raise capital failed. Under a government-backed proposal State Bank of India, the nation’s largest lender has been appointed to lead a consortium that will inject new capital into Yes Bank.
Yes Bank had been seeking new capital since 2019, to bolster its ratios and quell questions about its stability due to its exposure to shadow banks entangled in a prolonged crunch in the local credit market.
The seizure of Yes Bank is the largest of the government’s moves to stem an erosion of confidence among investors due to the shadow bank crisis. The government took over Leasing & Financial Services in 2018 to reassure creditors after the defaults.
Additionally, in 2019 the central bank seized control of another struggling shadow lender, Dewan Housing Finance Corporation and said it will initiate bankruptcy proceedings.

Fiction & Breadmaking
At first, the etymology of the word fiction doesn’t seem to hold any surprises. The word showed up in English in the 1300s meaning something invented. It came from the French word ficcion, which meant ruse, invention or dissimulation. Ficcion came from the Latin word fictio, a fashioning or feigning.
Nothing particularly unexpected there.
But wait. The Latin word fictio’s source is the Latin verb, fingere,
to devise, form or shape,
& it comes from a Proto-Indo-European verb meaning
to knead
to build,
to form;
all the things one might do with dough.
In fact, through a long series of side-by-side mutations, the word fiction and the word dough come from the same root (as do the words lady & paradise).
It’s the rare writer who’s rolling in the dough (that meaning kicked in about 1851), but the literal side of the breadmaking connection offers some intriguing ways to think about writing fiction:
Bread baking involves simple, everyday ingredients, mixed into something new.
Without leavening, it’s not bread.
It needs to be proofed.
It needs a bunch of manhandling.
It has to rest between stages.
It’s best when shared with others.
Dear followers, what connections have I missed?
My thanks go out to this week’s sources, etymonline.com, take our word, & the OED.
In celebration of National Hugging Day (who knew?), January 21, here are some thoughts on the word hug.
The verb hug first showed up in written English in 1560 – four years before Shakespeare’s birth – as hugge. Etymologists aren’t 100% certain where it came from, but some possibilities include:
Old Norse – hugga – to comfort (from hugr which interestingly meant courage)
German – hegen – to foster or cherish (from a term meaning to enclose with a hedge)
Proto-Germanic – hugjan – to think or consider
Gothic – hugs (adj) – of the mind, soul, or thought
Hug didn’t venture into its identity as a noun until 1610, when it applied to a hold in the sport of wrestling. By 1650, wrestlers shared it with the rest of the English-speaking world & hug came to mean an affectionate embrace.
Translations of the word hug are also somewhat intriguing. The English word embrace is evident in the Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, & Romanian words for hug: abrazo, abraccio, abraço & îmbrăţişare. In French the word is étreinte, in Finnish, hali, & in German, umarmung. In Samoan the word is opoopo. In Swedish & Danish, it’s kram.
Here’s a hope that National Hugging Day gets appropriately celebrated, even by those who don’t even know it exists (or those who are instead celebrating National Squirrel Day, which is another post entirely). Dear followers, spread around some heartfelt umarmungs, opoopos and krams. Mid-hug, focus on comforting, considering, & cherishing. Afterward, keep that consideration in your mind, soul, & thought.
Any comments about hugs, their grandmother words or their distant cousins from other languages? Please leave them in the comment section.
My thanks go out to this week’s sources, etymonline.com, askdefine.com, the OED, & GB Milner’s Samoan Dictionary, published jointly but the governments of Western & American Samoa, 1966.
Twenty other writers and I had the good fortune of attending a novel revision retreat this weekend at the Santa Barbara Mission. It was organized by the highly organized Alexis O’Neill of the SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators).
At such events, I generally hope to find a mentor, or wise & trusted teacher, & this time I found a doozy. This retreat’s fiction mentor was Kathi Appelt, author of many fine books, among them The Underneath & Keeper. Her focus, attentiveness, and insight threw amazing light on our projects, whether picture books, early readers, middle grade or YA novels.
The Greek name, Mentor first appeared in Homer’s Odyssey, Mentor was the name of a friend and advisor who just happened to be the goddess Athena in disguise. There’s nothing like advice from a deity. It’s likely that Homer based his character’s name on the Greek word mentos, which meant intent, purpose, spirit or passion. Mentos traces its roots back to Proto-Indo-European & Sanskrit, & was used to mean one who thinks & one who admonishes.
Admonishment just wasn’t this particular mentor’s cup of tea, but many of the other historic meanings apply perfectly to Kathi Appelt. Thoughtfulness, intent, purpose, spirit, & passion all figure highly. At times her insight seemed inspired, so it might even be fair to argue the goddess connection. Kathi Appelt is a class act who knows her stuff. Writerly friends, jump on any chance you have to work with her.
Good followers, what qualities do you look for in a mentor? What mentors have helped you along your path & what qualities do you most appreciate in them?
My thanks go out to this week’s sources, etymonline.com, dictionary.com, & the OED.
What better time of year to ponder beginnings?
The verb begin comes to modern English through Old English from Dutch, Old High German, & Old Frisian. Its various meanings over the years have included:
to undertake
to attempt
to cut open
to open up
The verb start comes from the same source languages, and over the years has included these shades of meaning:
to stare
to fall
to tumble, hurl, throw or plunge
to rush
to move or spring suddenly
to move, leave, or depart
The verb and adjective open also came to modern English through Old English from Germanic and Scandinavian sources. Its grandmother words have included these meanings:
an act of opening
not closed down
uncovered, bare, plain or evident
raised up
to cease to be secretive
candid, liberal, generous
How should all these historic shades of meaning affect our thinking in terms of launching into a new year? In terms of beginning a novel?
I certainly have tumbled my way into a story, & I love the idea that a story somehow involves the author’s decision to cease being secretive.
My thanks go out to this week’s sources, etymonline.com, thesaurus.com, & the OED.

About Dharitri
Dharitri was launched by the ‘Samajwadi Society’ at Bhubaneswar on November 24, 1974. Blessed with the lofty vision and the searing perspective of great Oriya litterateur Kalindicharan Panigrahi and nurtured by the able hands of his illustrious daughter and the state’s first woman Chief Minister Nandini Satpathy, the paper set out to offer readers a new experience in and taste of reading. It graduated to offset printing in 1986. The paper found its real mojo in late 80s and early 90s of the last century under the guidance of present Editor Tathagata Satpathy. Soon, it became the mouthpiece of the subaltern, in sharp contrast to contemporary dailies that lived off political patronage.
As the only impartial Odia newspaper of the state, Dharitri could fast endear itself to vast multitudes of youth, and was the first newspaper to launch special pages and features keeping in mind nuanced interests of its subscribers. Riding on a potpourri of content starting with mint fresh news, infotainment, business features to sports tid-bits, literature and literary critiques, it became number one paper in the capital city, both in terms of numbers and quality of its reportage. It continues to maintain leadership and hold over readers in urban and the state’s countryside. Dharitri made a new beginning in the history of Odia journalism by carrying a special page every day of the week on Youth, Agriculture, Business, Health & Science and such, going far beyond the daily chores of dishing out plain vanilla news. Its weekly special issues such as Sunday Supplement, Children’s Pullout and Literature Supplement have been a huge draw to this day.
From day one, the paper has strived to enrich Odia language and literature. Going beyond carrying features of known writers and columnists, it has provided a platform to numerous budding writers through ‘Sahityayana’, a fortnightly literary supplement. It has also given space to new political and economic thoughts that have helped the paper to consistently keep a step ahead of competitors. It also carries regular features for leisurely read and children’s content such as short stories, poems, general knowledge and world events, among others.
Dharitri has always espoused the cause of woman empowerment what with its campaign ‘Urja’ (Itz your world), an annual event bringing together girl students from all parts of the state. The spirit of Urja is retained in the pages of the publication even today. Dharitri has been carrying on its campaign to ensure that women get their voice heard.
Odisha has a largely agrarian economy. Here, the progress of farmers is tantamount to the progress of the state. Swearing by this maxim, Dharitri devotes a significant chunk of its space to news and features on farming. It is the first and till now the only Odia daily to carry a special weekly feature page on agriculture ‘Krushi Jeevan’ that covers a wide array of content such as organic farming, high yield variety seeds and research-based agri-information that are practical and are being used by farmers across the state. Experts’ views on a variety of subjects such as seasonal paddy, vegetables, horticulture, bee-keeping, pisciculture, dairy and poultry farming and drip irrigation/water conservation are regularly included.
Dharitri’s entertainment pages are a feast for its readers. Besides weekly capsule ‘Vichitraa’, it carries daily doses on film, television, yatra and music.
It started a customized feature for children ‘Pilanka Dharitri’ to boost the cognitive faculties of children. It carries write-ups, drawings and paintings by children together with their photographs. The supplement, rich with 360 degree information for children, has been a major hit with kids.
The paper has been endeavouring to drive awareness on science and healthcare. To address these issues, it began a weekly science page called ‘Swasthya Vigyan (Health Science). It carries features about works of Odia scientists and interesting updates on science and health technology . It also puts a premium on environment and its protection.
Dharitri has always been ahead of others when it comes to catering to the interests of youngsters. Weekly tabloid Metro/Man Mizaz has been well received by the youth. The tabloid has caught on with students and youngsters by carrying tailor-made and edifying columns. A regular space for ‘selfie corner’ is a big hit with the youth. It publishes a weekly special ‘Agami Asha’ (Future Hope) carrying inspiring articles for Generation Y.
Life is incomplete without sports and none scores better than Dharitri on this. Apart from covering daily sports news, it publishes a weekly sports special with detailed information that include field and track events.
The paper stood out among its peers for its sterling coverage of business news, information on employment and career and experts’ columns. It carried a new genre of business news when the idea was yet to dawn on other newspapers in Odisha. Its Sunday supplement ‘Chhutidina’ is a most sought issue for its readers. It’s packed with an assortment of content such as current affairs, features, special days and festivals, history, heritage, customs, travelogues, personalities, films, satire, relationships, fashion, astrology and crime.
Elephant, the largest land mammal, is in the middle of a crisis. The man-elephant conflict has come up as a major issue in Odisha. The number of elephant deaths is increasing alarmingly. In view of this problem and as a token of its commitment to environment and ecology, Dharitri launched a novel initiative ‘Hati Banchao, Haata Misao’ (Join Hands, Save the Elephant). This campaign has sought universal participation. It cannot be overstressed that renowned elephant experts such as Prof Raman Sukumar had helped launch this movement. Dharitri has opened a new chapter on the issue of elephant protection in the country and has been diligently carrying regular news and features on this theme.
Any discussion on Odia life and culture is futile without a word on Lord #Jagannath. Since its inception, Dharitri has been featuring news, articles and special pages on Jagannath culture, rituals, festivals and services of the deities. ‘Daru Dian’ – its magazine published on the occasion of the #Nabakalebara in 2015—created ripples in the state and beyond. Its regular column on Jagannath titled ‘Aitihara Odisha’ (Heritage Odisha) has made an attempt to publish many facets of the most important Hindu temple of #Odisha.
Last but not least, Dharitri, known for its gritty and intrepid editorials, has been highly appreciated by readers for its unmatched courage to speak the truth regardless of whose feathers are ruffled. In fact, Dharitri has been providing wind to its sails of progressive ideology unprejudiced by age old biases.
It is also the only paper of the state that holds no brief for any business-mining lobby, nor for any political outfit. It can rightfully claim to be the voice of the common Odia.

Return to Our School
Our school is located in the southeast Hertfordshire town of Cheshunt and serves an area of mixed private and local authority houses. It shares a site with Lottie’s Pre-school, Brookland Junior School and Haileybury Turnford Secondary School. The majority of our children transfer to the Junior School at the end of Year 2.
Our school is a three form entry Infant and Nursery school, catering for children between the ages of 3 and 7 years old. We share a site with the linked junior school (Brookland Junior School) who offer wrap around care, Haileybury-Turnford Secondary School and Lottie’s, a private pre-school that leases a building from the infant school. Lotties can offer some 30 hour places to eligible parents.
We have a good reputation in the local area and are usually at, or close to capacity.
We buy into a partnership with a local charity called CHEXs to provide a wide range of support and services to our families, including parent workshops, parenting courses, counselling and health.
We have introduced a Montessori style approach to the Nursery and this systematic approach to learning suits the needs of the children who benefit from a calm and well-structured approach. We have also now introduced this approach in our reception classes.
Introduction of Forest School sessions for all of our children in our own Elmwood Forest has enhanced the curriculum. These sessions are led by a Level 3 Forest School Specialist.
We now employ a sports specialist who delivers high quality PE across the whole school. We have a well resourced PE/Sport curriculum with all children having access to a range of sports and activities during the school day and through after school clubs. PE and sport is delivered inside in our school hall and also outside now that we have had our multi use games area installed (MUGA).

Riley, 2015
We named him Riley but that quickly got changed to Riley Rumple as it became clear that he had a coat that tended toward shaggy. “You have to groom them, you know,” a total stranger remarked when he was walked on the streets of Falmouth. He answered to Riley when he wasn’t playing “I can’t hear you,” and ignored me when I called him Rumpy-Dumpy, Rumpus, or Pink Paw. He was our rescue puppy from Kentucky and we were blessed to love him.
Riley was an amateur athlete, always up for the sport of the season. He was always ready for swimming, running, Frisbee, and any game that involved a ball. But he was also a total party animal, and the more kids and dogs who were involved, the better he liked it. I often joked that Riley loved other dogs more than he loved me. His ideal day was to hang out with another dog or two, mixing games of run-and-bite into a day of napping outdoors. Riley loved the summer that Dan built the second shed and we were caring for Jackson. Outside all day, laying around the shed with another dog, mixing mock-battles and baring of teeth in between bark-fests and snoozing: heaven!
He was afraid of thunder, fireworks and gun shots. His secret pleasure was eating the extremities off of stuffed animals. He liked ripping the wrapping off gifts and anything to do with snow. And most of all he loved subduing long sticks, his eyes wild as he seemed to pretend that he was indeed a wild dog, capable of crunching wildebeest bones. He was a gentle dog, as far from the alpha-animal as you could get, and his motto was “Let’s play!”
Riley was the funniest dog we’ve lived with; we were blessed to know and love him.
Riley loved his sticks.
The kayak wasn’t fast enough…
Swimming for sticks was a daily treat in the summer.
“Stop answering email and let’s go outside!”
Ready to go.
Gardening can be boring…
I called this his “scuzzy soccer ball” – he frequently offered it to me when he’d decided that I had ignored him long enough and now it was time to PLAY.

WONDER WOMAN, BLACK WIDOW Dominate Fandango’s 2020 ‘Millennial’s Most Anticipated Movies’ Survey
December 29, 2019 by admin 0 Comments
Credit: Warner Bros.
Sssshhhh, no one tell Martin Scorsese…
Fandango has revealed the results of its annual ‘Most Anticipated Movies Survey’ for 2020, and superhero films dominate the top of their list. Wonder Woman 1984, Black Widow and The Eternals along with Mulan top the survey. It’s the first time since Fandango has conducted the survey that each of the first four films are directed by women – Patty Jenkins, Cate Shortland, Chloe Zhao and Niki Caro, respectively.
(We’ll assume Scorsese is fully on board with that).
Fandango reports as part of the online survey, “more than 2,000 millennial film fans voted in the last weeks of December for the top movies and performances they were most looking forward to seeing on the big screen in 2020.”
“As we head into the next decade the new cinematic offerings look promising, with inspiring stories and new definitions of the word ‘hero,’” said Fandango correspondent Nikki Novak in a press release. “Adventure-seeking fans can’t wait for Wonder Woman 1984, Black Widow, and Mulan – all films directed by women – to command the big screen. And with invigorating, fresh fare like Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, Marvel’s Eternals and Pixar’s Soul, the 2020 box office will offer a cornucopia of welcome surprises.”
While a certain legendary director of gangster films might dispute calling The Eternals “fresh fare,” its place so high on the list must be gratifying for Marvel Studios considering how late in the year the film debuts (Nov. 6) and the relative obscurity of the concept even among comic book fans.
Gal Gadot and Scarlett Johansson for their titular roles as Wonder Woman and Black Widow are also the top 2 ‘Most Anticipated’ actresses, and Wonder Woman 1984‘s Kristen Wiig as Cheetah and Chris Pine as Steve Trevor are the ‘Most Anticipated’ villain and actor, respectively.
The full results from Fandango’s Most Anticipated 2020 Movies Survey are below:
1. “Wonder Woman 1984” (directed by Patty Jenkins; release date: June 5)
2. “Black Widow” (Cate Shortland, May 1)
3. Marvel’s “Eternals” (Chloe Zhao, Nov. 6)

There's No Talking Heads Reunion but the Band's Chris Frantz Is Releasing a Memoir
'Remain in Love' arrives next year
The internet just lost its mind over the idea of a potential Talking Heads reunion — a rumour that was debunked in no time. But as a consolation prize of sorts, the band's Chris Frantz has revealed he will be releasing a memoir.
Titled Remain in Love, the book by the famed Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club member will arrive on May 12 via St. Martin's Press. Of course, that title is a play on Talking Heads beloved 1980 album Remain in Light, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2020.
Frantz's book has been a long time coming and will include the inside story of the Talking Heads as told from his perspective. The book also promises to dive into his romance with Talking Heads/Tom Tom Club bandmate/wife Tina Weymouth.
Remain in Love will be made up on 320 pages, and its official description reads as follows:
One of the most iconic bands of the '70s and '80s, Talking Heads distinguished themselves from the ultra-cool Rolling Stones, the chaotic Sex Pistols, and glam rockers like David Bowie. They burst onto the scene when Frantz's girlfriend Tina Weymouth taught herself to play bass and joined him and lead singer David Byrne, playing at CBGBs and touring Europe with the Ramones. Their hits from "Psycho Killer" to "Burning Down the House" to "Wild, Wild Life" captured the post-baby boom generation's intense, affectless style. Their Jonathan Demme-directed concert film Stop Making Sense remains a classic. Frantz's and Weymouth's creativity surged with Tom Tom Club, bringing an Afro-Caribbean beat to their fresh hits like "Genius of Love."
Remain in Love is studded with memorable names from the era: Grace Jones, Andy Warhol, Stephen Sprouse, Lou Reed, John Cale, Richard Hell, Twyla Tharp, Brian Eno, Debbie Harry, and many more. Beautifully written with immersive vivid detail, the book moves from the rooms where the songs were made ― including Providence, RI and the Chrystie Street loft Frantz, Weymouth, and Byrne shared ― to the meals eaten and the clothes worn, right to the dynamics of a long and complicated working relationship with a mercurial frontman.
With the sense of place and time that characterized Patti Smith's book Just Kids, Remain in Love is as frank and open as autobiographies from rockers Neil Young and Keith Richards.
ICYMI yesterday (December 12), rumours of a Talking Heads reunion erupted all because an official Talking Heads Instagram was launched. Things got so out of control so quickly that both Frantz and frontman David Byrne had to step in and tell the world there would be no Talking Heads reunion, and there probably never will be.

Lighting organic material and sucking it into your lungs

Summary: Last year, The Philip Morris Companies renamed itself to the warm-and-fuzzy sounding Altria Group. Gotta love the colorful abstract logo they've got. (Psst, editors of the Altria home page: It's "Whom We Fund". "Whom" with an "m".) They claim the name comes from the Latin altus ("high") but that doesn't explain where the "r" comes...
Last year, The Philip Morris Companies renamed itself to the warm-and-fuzzy sounding Altria Group. Gotta love the colorful abstract logo they've got. (Psst, editors of the Altria home page: It's "Whom We Fund". "Whom" with an "m".)
They claim the name comes from the Latin altus ("high") but that doesn't explain where the "r" comes from. Any similarity to "altruism" is purely unintentional, I am certain. Would a tobacco company lie to me? Or, As Business 2.0 put it, "[The renamed company] does not, however, stop producing tobacco, which does not stop causing cancer."
Plus of course there's the matter that there is already a company called Altria Healthcare, which was none too pleased that a cigarette company decided to choose a name that matched theirs. But a Philip Morris spokesperson said that there is no conflict, pointing out that it is okay for companies to share the same name as long as they are in different fields of business, and "In our case that's not an issue. We're in very different lines of business."
Because Altria Healthcare's job is to help people improve their health.
Anyway, I was reminded of their 1995 recall of 8 billion cigarettes out of concern that their customers may become sick because the cigarettes allegedly contained the chemical methyl isothiocyanate (MITC). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigated this problem and concluded that while it was true that the recalled cigarettes contained MITC, so too did cigarettes manufactured both before and after the recall, as well as cigarettes by other manufacturers. In other words, there was nothing wrong with those cigarettes.
Well, aside from the fact that they are cigarettes.
Michael Eriksen, chairman of the CDC's Office on Smoking and Health noted that the real problem is "lighting organic material and sucking it into your lungs". Somehow this way of describing smoking struck me as elegantly dry.
I think "whom" is grammatically correct in this context.
Randy Loffelmacher says:
Take heart Ray! Soon enough they will make cigarette smoking illegal and we’ll have incarcerated nearly 50% of the American population.
Ron Green says:
And then we can bring back prohibition and go after the evil consumers of alcohol.
Cooney says:
Already did that: there are very harsh laws concerning exactly which plants you can light on fire and inhale.
Eldo says:
Don’t think Health care companies care so much about your health.
Modern medicines are designed to give you temporary relief ONLY. If the lipitor or diabetes medication actually cured your illness, how can the medical companies keep selling their medications?
This may not be the case for you Ray but do you ever notice how most people that have a problem with smoking dont have a issue with pot? Or what about the people that have a problem with pot but not alcohol or cigarettes.
Consistency is important when you want to talk about a issue like this.
Raymond Chen says:
I just thought it was funny that a cigarette company recalled its product because it was concerned about the health of its customers.
No, they’re concerned that they may be liable. Cyanide compounds sound like bad news.
No. I would bet that they’re convinced that they’re liable; concerned that they can’t argue or buy their way out of it anymore and very interested in making themselves look like a company of reformed, compassionates who are merely "looking after" the needs of those poor, hapless souls who are already hooked on their product.
Mat Hall says:
In the EU cigarettes and other tobacco products are labelled with huge health warnings (which, from an artistic standpoint totally ruin the nice packaging design). Here’s one of the warnings:
Smoke contains benzene, nitrosamines, formaldehyde and hydrogen cyanide.
So, although it’ll kill you, presumably the formaldehyde would preserve your corpse in pristine condition for many years. :)
[BTW: I’m a smoker, and have been for many years. I know it’s bad for me, I know it’s a disgusting habit, but dammit it’s GOOD!]
do you ever notice how most people that have a problem with smoking dont have a issue with pot?
I don’t have a problem with pot because I don’t get second-hand pot smoke. I’d love to have cigarettes at the same status as pot. Make them illegal and I will have no problem with them.
Mike Dunn says:
Ever notice how some people, when confronted with an opinion different from their own, attack the holder of that opinion instead of debating the topic?
Robert Waugh says:
Thanks for scaring me. It’s good to be reminded once in a while that I’m paying an overwhelming, impersonal corporation hundreds of dollars each year so that their product can muck about with my brain chemistry as its poisons kill me slowly yet painfully. And it’s also good to remember that the money I give them will be used to lure more victims into their trap, to fund lobbying for the tobacco industry, and to blow smoke screens like this rebranding.
Greg Hurlman says:
I suppose that *is* akin to McDonald’s recalling a batch of Big Macs because they were making people fat.
Miles Archer says:
Gee, I kinda like second hand pot smoke.
Sean Gephardt says:
"Lighting organic material and sucking it into your lungs"
so I guess smoking fresh veggies is passe ;)
I don’t see anybody trying to outlaw automobiles for the pollution they cause…
Aaron Margosis says:
It’s not about morality or righteousness. It’s about IDIOCY. It is 2004 – there are NO EXCUSES LEFT. Smokers are not evil, just stupid (at least, the parts of their brains that continue to light and inhale operate suboptimally). The ones who smoke right next to the No Smoking signs outside the hospital. The ones who think that flicking their burning butts (out of moving cars, even) isn’t littering! Not evil – just STUPID and (often) inconsiderate.
The tobacco companies – they are evil. Don’t be their pawns.
It is 2004 – there are NO EXCUSES LEFT! (There haven’t been for YEARS. Duh.)
(Can you tell I’m not in sales or marketing? :-)
I hate everything about cigarettes. I hate breathing the smoke, finding ashes everywhere, and having to wash my hair after I’ve been out at night because I can’t stand to go to bed like that.
But, I also hate morality policing, and I think we’re starting to go too far. Lately I’ve even found myself sympathizing with the smokers! (!!!)
It’s impossible to argue that smoking is GOOD for you, which of course makes the anti-smoking lobby into Righteous Defenders of Goodness and Light. *cue violins*
We all have some vice or another, and behavior that, ahem, isn’t always perfect. And eventually, folks, the Holier Than Thou’s will get around to telling YOU how evil you are.
Overcorrection of a problem can be just as intrusive and off-putting as the problem was in the first place. In my non-smoker’s opinion, we eventually reached a pretty good compromise with separate smoking and non-smoking areas in most public places. I rarely confronted cigarette smoke that I couldn’t get away from. I’d be delighted if we stopped there.
Neil Mitchell says:
The argument against second hand smoke is very valid indeed – but not on health grounds, on the grounds that I don’t like smelling really bad. I moved into a smokers room a week ago, as he left, and it still smells and makes everything i own smell.
Isaac Lin says:
Before Imperial Tobacco was acquired by
another tobacco company and subsequently shed
its subsiduaries to focus on its core business,
Imperial Tobacco owned a large pharmaceutical
chain in Canada. So they had the job of helping
people improve their health as well as smoke.
According to a certain gold medal winning
snowboarder (Nagano), it is possible to suffer
from second hand marijuana smoke…
Chris McKenzie says:
<sarcasm> Oh, so we should start policing not when people do *wrong*, but when people are *stupid*. </sarcasm> How’s this for an excuse–it’s my body and I can decide if I want to smoke or not. The argument against second-hand smoke doesn’t stand up (see http://www.consumeralert.org/fumento/smoke.htm, or just do some cursory research on the topic for yourself).
Zachary Turner says:
This reminds me of when the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) was forced by law to change it’s name, since it conflicted with the existing WWF (World Wildlife Foundation). Obviously these two companies were in entirely different lines of business, so why was it not okay in this case? I think Altria HealthCare could make an easy case against Philip Morris in saying that the name change was specifically designed to make people associate cigarettes with being healthy.
Knock, knock.
Fuck who?
No, "fuck whom?"
nexus says:
…completely random, but very funny
For me, the issue has never been that smoking is bad for you, or that tobacco companies are "evil" I really could care less either way because I don’t smoke.
BUT I do have to put up with "secondhand" smoke and I agree with all laws that restrict people from smoking in public places. And I honestly don’t care if they prove or disprove negative health effects of secondhand smoke. I agree with Neil, it stinks, makes me stink and I really hate it.
If I CHOOSE to go into a bar or a "smoking area" well then I should suffer the effects (which is why I disagree with my city banning smoking in bars). In public areas, it should be illegal to smoke.
And the "problem" I have with tobacco companies is the fact that, for all intents and purposes, they sell an unregulated addictive product.
The health effects of cigarettes a smoker suffers should be considered their own problem. However, many are physically incapable of quitting. In that situation I think there is a very legitimate argument.
If I start selling my nicotine potato chips – NicoChips – and people are physically compelled to buy and eat them, do I have no responsibility if they suffer negatively because of that? Shouldn’t I be regulated or outlawed? Is it right/moral/ethical?
For the record, that’s where I stand.
Chris McK – I didn’t say anything about "policing" or laws or public policy in my post. I merely indulged in name-calling. <raspberry/>
NicoChips – hahaha

2. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/07/02/national/main514046.shtml
but paying oodles of $$ for nicotine-laced chewing gum isn’t going to lure kids because, er, kids hate gum.
Won’t somebody please think of the children?
Nicotine isn’t carcinogenic, and isn’t inherently smelly. I’d much prefer that the nicotine addicts got their fixes from water or chips than from cigarettes.

The results of geological and geophysical studies, including recent ones, which make it possible to verify the existence of a liquid magma chamber below the Avachinsky volcano on Kamchatka, and to estimate the chamber depth and approximate dimensions, are analyzed. The heat stored in the host rock heated by the volcanic magma chamber from the time of chamber origination to the present is estimated, taking variable chamber dimensions during the process of evolution into account. The geological-geophysical prerequisites for using the thermal energy of the heated rock which surrounds the magma chamber to supply heat and power to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskii are analyzed. The creation of an underground geothermal circulation system (fracture heat exchanger) using deep boreholes is proposed.

Abstract-The study of magmatic plumbing systems of volcanoes (roots of volcanoes) is one of the main tasks facing volcanology. One major object of this research is the Klyuchevskaya group of volcanoes (KGV), in Kamchatka, which is the greatest such group that has been found at any island arc and subduction zone. We summarize the comprehensive research that has been conducted there since 1931. Several conspicuous results derived since the 1960s have been reported, emerging from the study of magma sources, eruptions, earthquakes, deformation, and the deep structure for the KGV. Our discussion of these subjects incorporates the data of physical volcanology relating to the mechanism of volcanic activity and data from petrology as to magma generation. The following five parts can be distinguished in the KGV plumbing system and the associated geophysical model: the source of energy and material at the top of the Pacific Benioff zone at a depth of about 160 km, the region of magma ascent in the asthenosphere. the region of magma storage in the crust-mantle layer at depths of 40-25 km,
magma chambers and channelways in the crust, and the bases of volcanic edifices. We discuss and explain the properties of and the relationships between these parts and the mechanisms of volcanic activity and of the KGV plumbing system as they exist today. Methods for calculating magma chambers and conduits, the amount of magma in the system, and its other properties are available.
Изучение магматических питающих систем вулканов, корней вулканов, является одной из основных задач вулканологии. К числу главных объектов таких исследований принадлежит Ключевская группа вулканов (КГВ) наиболее мощная на островных дугах и в зонах поддвига литосферных плит. Сообщается о всесторонних исследованиях, которые ведутся здесь с 1931 г. Приводится ряд показательных результатов, полученных с 1960-х годов при изучении источников магм, извержений, землетрясений, деформаций и глубинного строения КГВ. При их рассмотрении учитываются данные физической вулканологии о механизме вулканической деятельности и данные петрологии о формировании магм. В магматической питающей системе КГВ и ее геофизической модели выделяются следующие пять частей: источник энергии и вещества у верхней границы тихоокеанского сейсмофокального на глубине около 160 км, область подъема магм в астеносфере, область накопления магм в коромантийном слое на глубинах 40-25 км, магматические очаги и каналы в земной коре, основания построек вулканов. Рассматриваются и объясняются свойства, связь этих частей, механизм деятельности вулканов и магматической питающей системы КГВ в ее современном состоянии. Имеются способы расчета магматических каналов, очагов, количества магмы в системе и других ее свойств.

Kizimen Volcano began to erupt in December 2010. The eruption was preceded by a precursory period of seismicity that lasted for 20 months. This paper discusses the space-time features of the precursory seismicity. We provide a brief description of this explosive and effusive eruption between December 2010 and March 2013. The eruption started with some explosive activity followed by extrusion of a viscous lava flow. The extrusion of viscous andesitic magma and the motion of the lava flow down the slope were accompanied by unusual seismicity in the form of the quasiperiodic occurrence of microearthquakes, the so-called drumbeat phenomenon. It is shown that the occurrence of a drumbeat was first recorded during the extrusion process at the volcano's summit. Subsequently, the drumbeat mode of activity was caused by the front of the viscous lava flow as it was moving down the slope. The dynamic parameters of the microearthquakes varied in accordance with the dimensions of the lava flow front. The motion of the main tongue of the lava flow (March to September 2011) gave rise to drumbeat I with energy classes of microearthquakes K = 3-5.5, while the second tongue, which was smaller than the first, produced drumbeat II with microearthquakes of K < 3 during its motion down the slope. In January 2013 we saw a phenomenon similar to the drumbeat that was recorded at the start of the eruption. This was caused by an obelisk being extruded at the volcano's summit.

This paper is concerned with the geological history and petrology of a major polygenic volcanic edifice dating back to Upper Pleistocene to Holocene time. This long-lived volcanic center is remarkable in that it combines basaltic and trachybasaltic magmas which are found in basaltic andesite and trachybasaltic– trachyandesite series. The inference is that the coexisting parent magmas are genetically independent and are generated at different sources at depth in an upper mantle volume. The associated volcanic rocks have diverse compositions, stemming from a multi-stage spatio–temporal crystallization differentiation of the magmas and mixing of these in intermediate chas.

High-precision electron microprobe analyses were obtained on olivine grains from Klyuchevskoy, Shiveluch and Gorely volcanoes in the Kamchatka Arc; Irazu, Platanar and Barva volcanoes of the Central American Arc; and mid-ocean ridge basalt (MORB) from the Siqueiros Transform. Calcium contents of these subduction zone olivines are lower than those for olivines from modern MORB, Archean komatiite and Hawaii. A role for magmatic H2O is likely for subduction zone olivines, and we have explored the suggestion of earlier workers that it has affected the partitioning of CaO between olivine and silicate melt. We provide a provisional calibration of DCaO Ol/L as a function of magmatic MgO and H2O, based on nominally anhydrous experiments and minimally degassed H2O contents of olivine-hosted melt inclusions. Application of our geohygrometer typically yields 3–4 wt % magmatic H2O at the Kamchatka and Central American arcs for olivines having 1000 ppm Ca, which agrees with H2O maxima from melt inclusion studies; Cerro Negro and Shiveluch volcanoes are exceptions, with about 6% H2O. High-precision electron microprobe analyses with 10–20 lm spatial resolution on some olivine grains from Klyuchevskoy and Shiveluch show a decrease in Ca content from the core centers to the rim contacts, and a sharp increase in Ca in olivine rims. We suggest that the zoning of Ca in olivine from subduction zone lavas may provide the first petrological record of temporal changes that occur during hydration of the mantle wedge and dehydration during ascent, and we predict olivine H2O contents that can be tested by secondary ionization mass spectrometry analysis.

URLs Explained
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a means of locating a resource on the web, i.e., its address. A URL is the text you enter into the address field of a browser when you want to visit a Web site. For example, http://www.example.com is a valid URL.
Elements of a URL
URLs conform to a general format of nine elements:
<scheme>://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>/<path>;<parameters>?<query>#<fragment>
Not all of these elements need be present in a URL.
scheme: The protocol to use when accessing a resource. Some example schemes include http, https, ftp and file.
user: Some schemes require a username to access a resource, e.g., mailto:support@uk.example.com.
password: A password can sometimes be included after the username, separated by a colon (:).
host: The host name, or IP address of the server hosting the resource.
port: Servers listen for connections on specific ports. Most schemes have a default port number. The default port number for http is port 80.
path: This is the local name for the resource on the hosting server. For example, the following URL contains the path component images/welcome.gif:
http://www.example.co.uk/images/welcome.gif
parameters: Parameters are name/value pairs used by some schemes to specify input data. Multiple pairs can be specified, separated from each other and the remainder of the URL by semi-colons (;).
query: Used by some schemes to pass data to applications (e.g. databases, search engines). There is no fixed format for query data and is separated from the rest of the URL by a question mark (?).
fragment: Sometimes known as a reference it specifies a part of the resource. The fragment is not passed to the server but is processed locally by the client. It is often used to navigate to specific points on a Web page. It is separated from the rest of the URL by a hash character (#).
Encoding of Unsafe Characters
URLs are only allowed to contain characters from a relatively small safe alphabet. Any unsafe characters within a URL should be encoded.
Unsafe characters are encoded using an "escape" sequence. This sequence is a percent (%) character followed by two hexadecimal characters representing the ASCII code of the character. For example, the SPACE character is an unsafe character that has an ASCII code of 32 (Hex value 20).
The FcUrl class has methods encode() and decode() for encoding and decoding strings. In most circumstances, Eggplant Performance automatically handles the URL encoding for you.

Cheating Site AshleyMadison Gets Hacked
Read more about adult friend finder alternatives here. Thus, we donned our investigative coat and took a closer look at AdultFriendFinder to know if this site is worth the time and money or if it is just one big scam. With over 80 million members all over the world, AdultFriendFinder is one of the largest adult casual dating sites worldwide. Originated in the United States, this dating platform helps its users find suitable sex partners through its many contacting features and functionality. If sexting internationally sounds like it would wet your whistle, iHookup can get you in touch with a load of flirty people in other timezones. The title is much more explicit, but the main page encourages “casual dating based on physical attraction” rather than mentioning the words “horny” and “sex” multiple times. There’s also a smartphone app, which is a huge leg up on AFF — but it’s just hard to beat AFF’s empire and army of users. You can join topic-specific chat rooms and groups, or download online courses from the Sex Academy to learn new sex skills or tips on how to talk to people online. You can also watch videos and live broadcasts people have posted, which might be alarming at first — but AdultFriendFinder knows that watching videos of real people that you could possibly meet in real life is way more satisfying than porn. Also, this Adult Friend Finder review shows users that, they can both physically and digitally connect with models by video sexting them, whilst providing the mutual pleasure, and also the sending of sensations if you are both using sex toys which are high-tech. For members who are registered for free, there is really not much to do, as you cannot make contact.
BENEFITS, PECULIARITIES AND FEATURES
In May 2015 the personal details of almost four million users were leaked by hackers, including their login details, emails, dates of birth, post codes, sexual preferences and whether they were seeking extramarital affairs. Friend Finder Networks operates “one of the world’s largest sex hookup” sites Adult Friend Finder, which has “over 40 million members” that log in at least once every two years, and over 339m accounts.
FriendFinder confirmed the site vulnerability.
You can base it off of your interests as well as what you are searching for in a friend.
AdultFriendFinder’s strength is on its vast membership base all over the globe and the number of ways the site offers to help you connect with other users.
The company is now offering free one-month Gold memberships to anyone who signs up on AdultFriendFinder and can show proof of membership in a competitive adult dating site.
Don’t expect a swarm of messages upon joining as you might on dating sites with larger user numbers.
I’ve received messages just as aggressive on Tinder, so unless you’ve never been on a dating site ever in your life, you won’t be too shocked. AdultFriendFinder is basically like a PornHub that you can interact with. We probably don’t have to say this, but AdultFriendFinder is NSFW and not safe to be on while kids are in the room. Some videos will be blurred out and read “Naughty video” until you upgrade to a Gold Membership, but trust me — I started out with the free version, and you still get to a see a lot. The site is heavily populated with adult men who are looking for women or couples who are down for hookups. Majority of its members provide and share sexual content to the site. It can be through a video, photo, blog, or livestream. Both men and women are open to showing nudity in any form. Adult Friend Finder is open to all types of arrangements, from coupleshare, polygamy, fuck buddies, monogamy, and many more. Users with subscriptions can view complete profiles and conduct advanced searches, and have full access to Adult FriendFinder’s messaging system. Locate the profile you wish to contact on AdultFriendFinder. Once on the member’s profile page, scroll down to the middle of the page to find the email form “Send user an email” or click the “Send an email” link located in the “Interact” section. If you’ve forgotten your password for your AdultFriendFinder account, click “Forgot Password” and enter your username or email address on the bar. An email will then be sent with a link to set up a new password. It also runs live sex camera site Cams.com, which has over 62m accounts, adult site Penthouse.com, which has over 7m accounts, and Stripshow.com, iCams.com and an unknown domain with more than 2.5m accounts between them. Adult dating and pornography site company Friend Finder Networks has been hacked, exposing the private details of more than 412m accounts and making it one of the largest data breaches ever recorded, according to monitoring firm Leaked Source. It also might be a good place for people who are freshly out of a breakup and in need of attention. Adult FriendFinder (AFF) is an internet-based, adult-oriented social network, online dating service and swinger personals community website, founded by Andrew Conru in 1996. More than 412 million user accounts have reportedly been exposed in a massive data breach of adult dating and entertainment company FriendFinder Networks. At the bottom end of the scale, Badoo and POF with 22. ROLLING STONE – Feb 1 – A hacker group called The Impact Team leaked internal memos from Ashley Madison’s parent company, Avid Life, which revealed the widespread use of sexbots. 59% of all online traffic is generated by bots, according to the tech analyst firm, Are You a Human. AM is not the only ones using fake profiles,” says Marc Lesnick, organizer of iDate. “It’s definitely pervasive.” In an email, Fling.com owner Abe Smilowitz writes, “We absolutely don’t use fake profiles and bots… Us and AdultFriendFinder are pretty much the only guys that don’t.” Bot software is freely available online. Plenty of people just want some kind of customizable, convincing experience to get turned on. Facebook’s $2B acquisition of Oculus Rift is one big clue that simulated life online is about to get exponentially immersive. MOTHERBOARD – June 16 – Andrew Conru started Web Personals, the first online dating site, in 1993.

Grateful Web Interview with Karina Rykman
Article Contributed by Christopher Snyder | Published on Monday, February 10, 2020
Karina Rykman is one of those bass players that can fit into any musical scenario. With her infectious smile and general upbeat way about her, she brings life into every project she is a part of. Whether it be the trio of Marco Benevento or her own, Karina Rykman Experiment, you know the energy will be flowing with every bass note from Ms. Rykman.
GW: How did you originally connect with the Canadian based company “ToneConcepts”? What were the most memorable interviews you conducted?
Karina: I met those guys way back in 2012 through guitarist Alex Skolnick. Loved every interview I did! It was fun being an on-camera personality at such a young age. Perhaps the two that stand out the most are Nels Cline, + a super memorable time in LA with Dweezil Zappa. Lovely people and, obviously, both brilliant minds.
GW: You have a huge role as General Manager of the Rocks Off series? How did you originally meet Jake Szufnarowski?
Karina: I met Jake in the summer of 2012, right before my first semester at NYU. I was playing in a band at the time called Sound Of Urchin, and we played a Rocks Off Concert Cruise. I knew of Jake but had never met him. We hung out after the show, and I said that if he ever needed an intern, I loved the Rocks Off ethos and vibe and would love to join the team. He said he hadn’t had an intern in five years, but I seemed just right. I started the next day. It’s been almost eight years and I haven’t looked back!
GW: You studied Music Invention and Distribution from NYU. What professors had a significant impact on you during your education?
Karina: I wouldn’t have been able to go on the road or work at Rocks Off or do any of the “extracurricular” things that I’ve since turned into my career if it weren’t for the Gallatin School of Individualized Study at NYU. Truly an incredible program that allows students to craft their own majors and individualized plans of study. My advisor, Bill Rayner, stands out - he teaches guitar and songwriting and is a gem of a human. Amanda Petrusich -- a wildly prolific and spectacular writer -- was a fantastic professor as well. Greg Erickson, too! Fantastic people and incredibly supportive of my “vision,” if you will.
GW: You got to soundcheck with those guys from Vermont at Madison Square Garden. We know you’re a huge “phan.” Was it truly a dream come true?
Karina: It’s still completely surreal. I can’t believe how much I get asked about the experience -- and I never get bored telling the story! It was truly dream-like, something I’ll never forget. I was walking into walls afterward. I put on the video at my apartment after for about ten friends, just said, “watch this,” and everyone was shocked! (laughs). Some things are beyond explanation. My appearance on the “Long May They Run” podcast, where I tell the full story, has garnered way more attention than I thought. I have so many people saying they heard about me through that. I’m like, “Really? Wow!”
GW: Joining Mr. Marco Benevento in 2016. Are there any experiences that stand out in your mind during the past three years?
Karina: Oh, man, so many! Japan! Christmas Jam! Outside Lands! Opening for Vulfpeck in London! 17 shows in 17 days in 2017! Tour bus breaking down on that run, and then flying to the gig, made it in time, and used all of Jackie Greene’s gear - then the tour bus got fixed and arrived at the venue just as we finished our gig. Singing “Could You Be Loved” on stage with Dispatch and Guster at the Mann Center in Philly. Jumping in the pool with all our clothes on after our gig at Merriweather Post Pavilion. My first hometown NYC show with Marco at Music Hall of Williamsburg surrounded by my friends and family. Opening for the Claypool Lennon Delirium and setting up right next to Les’s rig. Just laughing our way across the country, eating incredible meals together, and having the best time on and off stage. It’s really crazy to think four years have gone by - I can’t believe I found myself in this group of people where I feel so at home. I know it’s rare. I’m lucky and beyond grateful.
GW: When you’re not touring, what do you like to do on your “off-time”?
Karina: I like to spin records and play/write music at home, eat, cook, see lots of live music, do pilates (*laughs*), record my weekly podcast 3 From The 7 at Relix, watch Curb Your Enthusiasm, and catch up with all my pals and my folks that I certainly miss when I’m on the road.
GW: Let’s chat about your band: This gives you a chance to direct. How did you connect with Adam & Chris?
Karina: I met Adam & Chris at NYU! They are phenomenal musicians and phenomenal people. I love them, dearly. I had an all-improv gig with John Medeski, Billy Martin, Nels Cline, and Marco at a festival in the summer of 2017, and I was like, “oh, shit, Karina, you need to practice improvising like every day. A lot”. So, I called Adam and Chris. And we jammed all the time that summer, and then I was like, “Oh, shit, this is good,” and it all spiraled out from there. We put out two singles last year. We opened for Khruangbin at the Capitol Theatre, we played moe.down and Hulaween, we opened for Guster at Higher Ground, we headlined Rough Trade in the Spring and then moved up to the Brooklyn Bowl in the Fall. We played Portsmouth, NH, and Nectar’s in Burlington...and all with no manager and no agent and no PR or anything. I’m very grateful for all the opportunities to play, and the fact that people keep coming out to see us! More music and more shows are coming this year! Let’s just see where it all goes. It’s a thrill to get to play with Adam and Chris, to put music out and tour under my own name, and I can’t wait for more.

with 12 multiple-RBI contests. She was 3-for-5 with a school-record-tying
two doubles and five RBI in a Mar. 27 win over Swarthmore College. *Keys *also
had three hits, including a homer, and five RBI in an Apr. 16 triumph at
league-rival Emory & Henry College.
Fourth-year head coach *Dennis Shores *guided his club to a school-best
28-13-1 overall record and a 13-5 ODAC mark that tied for tops in the
league. After a series of tiebreakers, Guilford earned its first top seed
for the eight-team postseason tournament in Salem, Va. In addition, the
Quakers received their initial NCAA regional ranking this year and set or
tied 34 team and individual records. *Shores *expects as many as 18 letter
winners back in 2011, including *Keys*.

Department of State Forms, Procedure Manuals for Renouncing/Relinquishing, Contact Info
When you book your appointment, many/most consulate send you a list of exactly what forms and supporting documents they require. Eg, some consulates have a short local questionnaire in addition to, or in place of, the 4079.
Forms for Renunciation
4079. Request for determination of possible loss of US citizenship. Important for reliquishments, is not strictly required for renunciations (according to the DOS procedure manual) but it some consulates use it.
4080. Oath of renunciation
4081. Statement of understanding of consequences
4083. Certificate of loss of nationality
Statement: NOT required. People generally do not write one.
Forms for Relinquishment
If you have already relinquished your citizenship (eg. upon obtaining citizenship in another country, government employment, etc.) and are now applying for a CLN:
4079. Request for determination of possible loss of US citizenship.
Statement. NOT required. But can be useful to supplement your 4079 with a written statement to show that your relinquishment was intentional and that your post-relinquishment conduct has been consistent with having relinquished. Some people do, some don’t.

I was told by a friend of mine that she was not required to submit a form 4079 when she renounced last year. She only had to fill in and sign forms 4080 and 4081.
I was also told by another friend who renounced at a different consulate that he had to fill in form 4079 but only had to complete the first part of it.
ChearsBigEars says
What a mess. How can anyone plan a visit to the consulate or know the best way to fill out the forms. I thought I could get help here in the actual process but nobody will help me step by step. It’s too complicated for me.
FromTheWilderness says
@Cheers Big Ears,
Have a look at the Consulate Report Directory.
You can also have a look at the step-by-step process over at RenunciaonGuide.com. There is a link to it at the bottom of the IBS main page.

Intent to Relinquish: Filling out Form 92705 (Request for Determination of Possible Loss of US Citizenship)
My goal was to inform the U.S. State Department that I had become a Canadian citizen years ago and that my intent at the time had been to give up my American citizenship – thus I had already relinquished. I had been living as a Canadian and was now finally letting them know:
• married, landed immigrant status, applied for Canadian citizenship & met with judge then ceremony – with appropriate dates 8(d)
• oath to Queen etc. 9(a)
• residences and house ownership – places and dates 12(a&b).
• voting in Canada for every level of government 12(d), and even running for provincial jurisdiction office (11), but never in the US 13(d)
• other ties 12(e) – banks, past jobs, French language, volunteer activities, eventual Canadian pension, Ontario health insurance card, Canadian RRSPs, ON driver’s license, etc.
• nothing in the US except for family 13.
• paying Canadian taxes when applicable, but not filling out US forms until recent OVDI panic 13(e)
• travelling with only a Canadian passport, including to the US 14 & 15
(N.B. on filling out Request for Determination etc…: You can print it out and fill it out by hand or do it all at once on line and then print it out. You cannot save it and come back to it. I tried doing it on line but found that for dates it would only accept its way, meaning date and year whereas I sometimes only knew the month and year. I ended up leaving it blank and filling that portion in once I had printed it up. Then I was able to scan the whole thing and send it as an attachment – the only way proposed. To be signed there.)
I had asked to have a temporary letter while waiting for the CLN, the letter basically says that I have personally appeared at the Ottawa Embassy and applied to formally relinquish my citizenship under Section 349(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The CLN could take six months. See the rest of my report under Ottawa, Canada in Consulate Report Directory.

CanadianGirl says
I have just noticed that the procedure manual “7FAM1220: Developing a Loss-of-Nationality case” is listed as “Not available” on the US Department of State website.
pacifica777 says
Thanks for the news, CanadianGirl.
That’s disturbing because there’s some pretty useful information in it. I’m wondering, a goof-up or to purposely keep people in the dark about this FAM from now on?
In the above list of links, I’ve now posted a link to the most recent copy of 7 FAM 1220 that we have, but with the warning that I don’t know if the “Unavailable document” supercedes it or not.
@pacifica, they really can not hide the information as it would be subject to FOIA anyways.
I suspect they are rewriting the document and I would guess that CLN relinquishments are likely going to get more difficult.
The fact that is unavailable may make good fodder for the internet and generate publicity so a front page on IBS might be worth the effort.
@ George, What I found odd is that as I’ve seen so far, they’ve been replacing their on-line documents when the revised one comes into effect, instead of posting a blank while they’re revising the current one. So, that’s what got me wondering if it’s a goof-up or if they’re making it difficult to access (eg, FOIA wouldn’t help anyone whose appointment is in the near future).
At any rate, I don’t know why it’s not on-line, but even if it’s a goof-up, I’m disturbed, because it’s important that people have access to it.
usxcanada says
The last version of 7 FAM 1220 grabbed by Internet Archive was 14 July 2014. Here it is:
http://web.archive.org/web/20140714040747/http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/120546.pdf
Speculation: Intensive revision is underway, and making a future case for anything except concurrent relinquishment is destined to become difficult if not impossible.
While legislation may be hard to revise, policy is way easier. Call policy the state’s arena for exercise of whimsy.
WhatAmI says
Well, this is disturbing indeed.
All’s fair in love and war against its emigrants, it seems.
Thanks for the more recent link, USX! I’ve changed it to that.
I am a skeptic, and becoming a cynic. I will not be surprised at all if, when it becomes available once again it will contain procedures designed to impede, not facilitate relinquishments. Afterall, for every relinquishment granted it is $2350 + that they can’t extort via a renunciation.
RMA reported on the Renunciation and Relinquishment thread that 7 FAM 1220 is now back on-line, with revisions to the former edition.
awol says
Must I report my second nationality when renouncing my citizenship? Can I just tell them I am becoming stateless even if I am not?
Also, does anyone know what the State Department is doing with your renouncement paperwork between your renouncing at the Embassy/Consulate and issuing the CLN? Are they doing background checks, notifying people and other governments? Why does it take longer for some people?

By David Bressan on Monday, January 24, 2011
According to Japanese myth the cause of earthquakes is the giant catfish Namazu or Namazu-e (the second term refers to the woodcuts of Namazu) living buried in the underground. Namazu is one of the yo-kai (in a very broad sense translatable as "monster"), creatures of Japanese mythology and folklore that were associated or caused misfortune or disasters. By moving his tail he can shake the entire earth and unfortunately he loves to cause trouble and havoc.
Fig.1. Japanese wood-block print showing a mythic catfish that causes earthquakes. Private collection, Berkeley, California (figure from KOZAK & CERMAK 2010). The horizontally outstretched catfish divides the picture in two parts, in the upper part there are rich merchants, in the lower part mourning people who have lost everything by the earthquake. The aftermath of the earthquake is depicted as possibility to redistribute the wealth; rich people have to divide their wealth with the poor to restore the general "cosmic" balance.
Namazu can be controlled only be the god Kashima, which with help of a powerful capstone pushes the fish against the underground and in such doing immobilized him. However the god sometimes got tired or is distracted from his duty and Namazu can move a bit and cause an earthquake.
Fig.2. The god Kashima immobilize with help of a capstone a guilty Namazu, demonstrating to a bunch of small catfishes, representing earthquakes of the past, the severe punishment for their behaviour (here a similar depiction of other punishments). However the catfish tries to defend his behaviour as response to his envy to other fish species, much more appreciated and popular in the traditional Japanese cooking (figure from LEWIS 1985).
Already in the Tokugawa period (1603-1868) the giant catfish was as a river deity associated to natural disasters, not surprisingly caused by water like floods or heavy rainfall. In these early traditions however namazu acts often as a premonition of danger, warning people from an imminent catastrophe or by swallowing dangerous water-dragons prevents even disasters.
Earthquakes, as apparently trembles of earth, were explained by movements of deities or creatures supporting the Japanese main islands, these creatures included gods, giants, an ox, dragons or snakes and a fish.
The dragon was a very old and powerful symbol imported from China and was in old times the main culprit of earthquakes, however during the 18th century, a giant Namazu gradually replaced the giant dragon in the popular imagination. This change from dragon to Namazu was minor, because dragons were also associated to water and rivers and so were closely related to the catfish in the popular imagination.
During the 19th century and after the earthquake of Edo (modern Tokyo) in October 1855 the wrongdoings of Namazu became more a punishment of human greed, it was believed that the catfish by causing havoc forced people to redistribute equally their wealth, in this role Namazu became yonaoshi daimyojin, the "god of world rectification".
Fig.3. Namazu in the form of yonaoshi daimyojin perpetuating his harakiri (in Japanese "Seppuku namazu", 1855) - with his sacrifice he will provide gold and money, dropping from his belly, for the poor people (figure from University Vienna). Some of these depictions have also magical powers: whoever take them home will be protected from earthquakes and experience "10.000 years of luck".
The classic images of Namazu (more than 300 are today known) were mainly a response of the Edo earthquake - by trying to depict also "positive aspects" (redistribution of wealth) of the earthquake the artists hoped to rise the morals of the survivors. Namazu was used also in satire, he is represented as a good-for-nothing, a coward acting only when the gods are gone, a reference to the aristocracy and incompetent civil servants.
Fig.4. A Namazu, representing the earthquake of Edo (modern Tokyo) in October 1855, is attacked by peasants and concubines (here a similar version), in the background help for the catfish is approaching - craftsmen, who will take profit of the reconstruction of the city. The earthquake of Edo, which killed thousand of inhabitants, coincided with the traditional "month without gods", believed a period when all of the gods gather in a secret temple. Taking advantage of the absence of Kashima, the coward Namazu rebelled and caused destruction and sorrows in the human world (figure from Wikipedia).
There are various versions of the myth with slight modifications; in some narratives the god doesn't use a rock, but a sword to nail the Namazu onto the ground. According to another version it is the god Kadori controlling the catfish, with the help of a giant and magical pumpkin. Also the main villain can be represented by a giant eel - Jinshin-Uwo - or a giant earthquake beetle - Jinshin-Mushi.
Fig.5. A version of Namazu controlled by Kashima with a sword (figure from Wikipedia).
Fig.6. ... and Kadori using a giant gourd made of a pumpkin (figure from SanAndreasFault.org).
Fig.7. A picture by the Japanese artist Kadzusa-ya Iwazô of 1842 lampooning the myth of Namazu, a Tanuki (a sort of mythical raccoon-dog with the ability to enlarge voluntarily parts of his body) is subduing the catfish with his giant scrotum (figure from Kuniyoshi Project).

BinDbg: Easy Windows Debugging for Binary Ninja
Presented at BSidesROC
Overview and demo of a new reverse engineering tool
“IDA Pro – the “gold standard” of binary analysis tools – is very good at what it does, but it comes with a hefty price tag that is usually only justifiable to professional reverse engineers. Several alternatives have begun to challenge the status quo of reversing tools, including Binary Ninja: a powerful, affordable static-analysis tool. While I attempted to convert to using Binary Ninja, I often missed the fusion of static and dynamic analyses that IDA provided, and existing Binary Ninja debugger integrations were not designed with Windows users in mind. So, I wrote a plugin that syncs WinDbg to Binary Ninja to combine Binary Ninja’s static analysis features (such as the disassembly graph and the IL) with the power of dynamic analysis (such as virtual function table resolution and knowing the outcome of branch instructions).”
The Hardest CTF I’ve Ever Done: My Experiences Reverse Engineering an MMORPG
Provides a high-level overview, methodology, and technical details of reverse engineeering an MMORPG
“MMORPGs provide countless hours of entertainment by allowing gamers to escape into exciting virtual worlds and form communities through their online interactions. However, these games are almost entirely at the mercy of their publishers: if the game is decommissioned and the server is shut down, these virtual worlds cease to exist, game communities are broken up, and the game is left virtually unplayable. At this point, many turn to reverse engineering the game to restore gameplay – a long, arduous technical challenge that is riddled with pitfalls and gotchas. This talk covers the journey I’ve gone through while reverse engineering a decommissioned MMORPG over the past 2 years. Technical aspects will be discussed, as well as legal implications and a project demo.”

Anti-Americanism and the American world order, Giacomo Chiozza
The Resource Anti-Americanism and the American world order, Giacomo Chiozza
The item Anti-Americanism and the American world order, Giacomo Chiozza represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in University of Missouri Libraries.
Chiozza, Giacomo
News stories remind us almost daily that anti-American opinion is rampant in every corner of the globe. Journalists, scholars, and politicians reinforce the perception that anti-Americanism is an entrenched sentiment in many foreign countries. Political scientist Giacomo Chiozza challenges this conventional wisdom, arguing that foreign public opinion about the U.S. is much more diverse and nuanced than is generally believed. He examines the character, source, and persistence of foreign attitudes toward the United States. His findings are based on worldwide public opinion databases that surveyed anti-American sentiment in Islamic countries, Europe, Latin America, Africa, and East Asia. Data compiled from responses in a wide range of categories including politics, wealth, science and technology, popular culture, and education indicate that anti-American sentiments vary widely across these geographic regions. Chiozza shows how foreign publics balance the political, social, and cultural dimensions of the U.S. in their own perceptions of the country. He finds that popular anti-Americanism is mostly benign and shallow; deep-seated ideological opposition to the U.S. is usually held among a minority of groups. More often, he explains, foreigners have conflicting attitudes toward the U.S. He finds that while anti-Americanism certainly exists, the United States is equally praised as a symbol of democracy and freedom, its ideals of liberty, equality, and opportunity applauded. Chiozza demonstrates that what is reported as undisputed fact, that various groups abhor American values, is in reality a complex story--Publisher's description

The Resource Fire & Blood
The item Fire & Blood represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in Merrimack Valley Library Consortium.
Martin, George R. R
The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to life in this masterly work by the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, the inspiration for HBO's Game of Thrones. With all the fire and fury fans have come to expect from internationally bestselling author George R. R. Martin, this is the first volume of the definitive two-part history of the Targaryens in Westeros. Centuries before the events of A Game of Thrones, House Targaryen—the only family of dragonlords to survive the Doom of Valyria—took up residence on Dragonstone. Fire & Blood begins their tale with the legendary Aegon the Conqueror, creator of the Iron Throne, and goes on to recount the generations of Targaryens who fought to hold that iconic seat, all the way up to the civil war that nearly tore their dynasty apart. What really happened during the Dance of the Dragons? Why was it so deadly to visit Valyria after the Doom? What were Maegor the Cruel's worst crimes? What was it like in Westeros when dragons ruled the skies? These are but a few of the questions answered in this essential chronicle, as related by a learned maester of the Citadel and featuring more than eighty all-new black-and-white illustrations by artist Doug Wheatley. Readers have glimpsed small parts of this narrative in such volumes as The World of Ice & Fire, but now, for the first time, the full tapestry of Targaryen history is revealed. With all the scope and grandeur of Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Fire & Blood is the ultimate game of thrones, giving readers a whole new appreciation for the dynamic, often bloody, and always fascinating history of Westeros.Includes a bonus PDF of illustrations from the book

Creative Corner > Legends of the Heroes
Army of PCs Against the Giants
(1/34) > >>
perovskite:
I'm almost two years into an Against the Giants campaign using the 2e Against the Giants: Liberation of Geoff module (with 3.5e crunch, and modified geography), and I thought it might be worth posting for all of your amusement/edification/disgust. The idea behind the format for the campaign is that wars involve a lot of people, so the notion of a band of five or six or eight heroes crisscrossing the land doing all the saving seems a tad implausible (also, I like variety). Thus, my one group of players and I are jumping between, let me count...approximately five different parties (they overlap a bit), all of whom are in various parts of Geoff and surrounding countries doing heroic and/or mercenary things.
We run sessions using Google Docs, and so I'll just be copying the transcriptions of what we did, until and unless that becomes cumbersome and offensive. To keep the whole thing organized, I have an all-consuming set of spreadsheets telling me where each party and the major NPCs are on any given day, so that I can avoid continuity errors, and allows for amusing things like one party casually walking past a villain on his way to fight another party two days later. (The fight was played first, so the players knew who this set of PCs was walking past, but their characters had no idea.)
As far as optimization level: for yea, though I am not worthy to sweep the hallways of this hallowed temple of optimization, I am nigh unto a grandmaster compared to everyone else in my group. So it's pretty toned down.
I'll not bore you with a description of every PC in the game just yet, cause there are nearly 30 of them, just the parties.
So, the parties:
The Most Ancient and Original Group- the MAOG was rolled up in the early 90's when we played 1e, and was later updated to 2e and 3.5e. So the characters have existed for 22-24 years or so. The average level is 11, with one being 14 due to a quirk of the 2e to 3e conversion rules. This will be the first time we've used these characters in 3.5e.
Zodhunters- some gangster named Zod (no relation to the Superman villain) stole some stuff from these guys' mom. Average level is 7.
Kat's Krew- Katreana (female elf/Wiz 9/LG) was part of the MAOG, but was at the other end of the continent when the campaign started, so she had to adventure her way to Sterich, and picked up some people while she did. Average level 9.
Dwarven Volunteer Corps- Some of the fluff for this says the various mountain dwarf clans are too busy bickering to bother with all the giants they could ever want to kill, so one character went to recruit some volunteers. Average level 4.
Sephira & Co- Sephira (female halfling/Sor 6/don't remember) worked for Duke Owen of Geoff until she found a book referring to an ancient lammasu, and requested a leave of absence to go see what she can find. (We refluffed the Rainbow Servant prestige class into a Lammasu Servant prestige class for this.) Average level 6. This is presently the active group.
Singletons- There are a couple of PCs not currently in any party at the moment; such characters, or people whose players are not present tend to get used as NPCs. For example, the 14th level guy is effectively an NPC until the rest of his party catches up.
That all I have the battery life for at the moment. We shall see how this goes.
Prologue- Wherein Information Known to the Natives of Gran March, Geoff, Sterich and a few Other Places is Displayed for the Edification of the Player Characters.
A large part of the first section of this post is pulled straight from the Against the Giants fluff information, so copyright WOTC 1999 for that.
This part of the world, the plains east of Geoff, Sterich, and Gran March, has had some trouble with giants for as long as there is recorded history. What had never happened, up until eight years ago, was an organized, coordinated invasion from multiple routes by multiple species of giants, sometimes supported by bombardments of rocks from groups of clouds. (Although that particular detail tends to be included in stories about the invasion with more than a little bit of doubt.) Although the lowlanders fought valiantly, there was simply no way for them to resist the behemoths, who would often kill 20 or 30 humans before being taken down themselves. The giants completely conquered the countries of Geoff and Sterich, and captured a portion of Gran March, but were repelled at the southern end of their advance by the well-organized forces of the Colony of Moffatt.
Flushed from the amazing success of their attacks, the giants enslaved and survivors they could find and established themselves as the new rulers of Geoff, Sterich, and Gran March. They spend months gorging themselves on crops and livestock, wearing the spoils of defeated lands, and falling into petty disputes. After a few months, what the giants began shipping materiel and the spoils of war back into the mountains, especially silver. The giants’ occupation lasted effectively unchallenged for two years.
Then, six years ago, the giant-held cities and towns of Sterich began to suffer attacks by forces made up of displaced citizens of Sterich and Geoff, buttressed by mercenaries from Gran March, Moffett, and the Kingdom of Hias. Launched from the Sterichian city of Flen, the vengeful army slowly drove the giants out of the cities of Fitela and Istivin, removing the last holdout in central Sterich four years ago. Using these two cities as a staging ground on the war’s border, the armies were aided by a secondary invasion from Gran March, which pushed the giants and humanoids into the Stark Mounds, and then turned south to join with the forces holding Fitela and Istivin. These combined forces were able to march westward and oust the giants one village at a time, finally freeing the last human settlement in the spring, three years ago.
Meanwhile, back in Gran March and Geoff, the giants control over that land was bruised five years ago when the soldiers of Gran March and the Knights of the Watch (from Keoland) succeeded in reclaiming the town of Hochoch on Geoff’s extreme eastern border, which had been occupied by orcs, ogres, trolls, and a dozen hill giants. As things stand right now, Hochoch has been “temporarily” annexed by Gran March (along with parts of the Oytwood), and is being used as a base for attacks on giants in Geoff a well as the smuggling of goods into and people out of the Lost Lands. Unfortunately, the allies of Geoff are weary from the fighting in Sterich and in no shape to mount a full offensive. Limited to harassing patrols of humanoids and lightning strikes by small teams of independents, the humans and giants are holding each other in check.
In the past six months, there have been more sightings of giants in and around the Oytwood and near Hochoch, which has inhibited reconnaissance and raids by the humans somewhat.
About two months ago, a team of independents new to the area, in coordination with the gnomes of the Stark Mounds, conducted a devastating attack on the fomorians and ogres that lived there, killing or driving them out of the city completely. Unfortunately, no one has the forces to re-occupy Gorna for the time being, so right now the gnomes have set up a number of observation posts in and around the town, and have been rebuilding the outer wall by night.
There are also rumors that a group of independents conducted a separate raid on one of the hill giant steadings, again killing or driving off a large number of those giants as well, which has severely loosened the giants’ control over the mountains to the west of the Stark Mounds.
Prologue Part Deux
Wherein Information known only to Elves from the Forests of Dimwood is Revealed.
Eight short years ago, like the humans, the western forests of the elves were invaded by the giants, and like the humans, the elves couldn’t withstand the sheer power of the giants. Unlike the humans, the elves each had centuries of training and skill in fieldcraft, and so were able to retreat into the deeper woods with comparatively light losses. The elves lost control of the towns of both Hocholve and Delerion, and have not yet sent scouting parties back to see what happened; no survivor of Hocholve knows enough of what happened to believe anything other than that the giants still control it, and after what happened in Delerion, the elves have tacitly agreed that it should be off limits.
The only information known by the elves in general about Delerion is that during the giant’s attack, some creature of necromancy and shadow appeared and killed most of the giants and elves in the area; this creature still lives in the town.
Hocholve was simply overwhelmed; those who evacuated did not see the fate of those who served as rear guard, although the lack of survivors is telling enough.
Soon after the elves began scouting to the south to see how the humans were faring, and continued to conduct harassing attacks on the giant’s northern flank. Once the giants’ advance was stopped, the elves established embassies with the government-in-exile of Geoff, with Gran March, Sterich, and the gnomes of the Stark Mounds. They’re pretty well informed, but don’t have the numbers to do anything but support the humans’ operations with reconnaissance and ambushes outside the Dim Forests.
Prologue Part Theux (? Whatever)
Where in Stuff known to the Gnomes, but not known to non-Gnomes, becomes known, except to non-Gnomes, because the Gnomes know enough to not let non-Gnomes know what they know.
Several months ago, a small band of powerful adventurers appeared in the giant-afflicted regions of Geoff. It was they, so they said, who raided and torched a very large hill giant steading, and they who allied with Kemp Consum’s gnomes to raid and ultimately drive out, the fomorians and ogres from Gorna. After that battle the adventurers headed back into the mountains to the southwest of Geoff and have not been heard from since.
In the aftermath, the gnomes have set up several small observation posts in and around Gorna, as well as started building gnomes sized storehouses and living quarters, as well as reinforcing the outer walls. They have been careful to make it look like the place is still abandoned, but are approaching the point where they need to start making permanent repairs to the outer walls and gates. As that would reveal their presence, Consum wants to get the backing of at least Duke Owen, so there is a token garrison of humans in place as well.
And here we get to the first session, which we played in August of 2016. This group was hijacked by me when the DM could no longer play, which is why it sounds like this starts in the middle. If the blow-by-blow from each session is burdensome or awkward to read, please complain in a reply, and I will switch to summaries of each session. Cyr is a DMPC/NPC; I find it preferable to give suggestions to the party in character.
The Characters (which I, the DM, call the Zodhunters, although they have not named their group in-game)
Yudhisthir- male half-elf ranger 6; Yudhisthir and Arjun are half-brothers
Arjun- male human favored soul 6
Cyr- female human feat rogue 6/chameleon 1; she normally disguises herself as a young man
Phaedra- female aasimar warlock 6
Saluki- male human fighter 2/swashbuckler 3/dervish 2
Thessa- female catfolk bard 6, who doesn't show up for several sessions.
Day 133: The Zod Hunters
(click to show/hide)DM: Yudhisthir, Arjun, Saluki, Phaedra, and Cyr all board the Plot Convenience in Port Kitts, having decided for various reasons that they can’t help with the halfling rescue. The ship sails at dawn the day after they arrived in Port Kitts, and heads north toward the kingdom of Gran March. Yudhisthir and Arjun notice that Cyr boarded the same ship they did.
Yudhisthir also notices Phaedra “Urgh. It’s that shrill woman.”
Arjun looks over at the group. “She’s pretty, though.”
Yudhisthir gives his brother a disgusted look and pointedly turns his back to the rest of the ship, looking out over the waves.
Saluki and Phaedra both notice the pair of guys they saw earlier on Port Kitts on the boat (one of whom has wings), and that they are pointedly looking at them. Mostly Phaeda.
DM: Noticing this, Phaedra stands up, straightens her clothing, and walks over to the two of them. “Greetings, I am Phaedra of Marwal. It seems we will on be on this ship together for a while, so I thought I would introduce myself.” She holds out her hand.
Arjun smiles charmingly and shakes her hand “I am Arjun, and this” he gestures to the shorter winged figure beside him, “is my brother Yudhisthir, both of the Elf Coast.” Yudhisthir ignores them both. “What sends you to Gran March?”
Phaedra smiles. “Age old story, I’m afraid, I’m just looking for adventure and working to make a name for myself outside my father’s shadow. The Elf Coast isn’t too far from Marwal, though we don’t get many elven visitors.”
Phaedra does notice that Yudhisthir is actually a half-elf...with wings!
Arjun: “I don’t think we get many visitors from Marwal either, though I know our merchants send goods there.”
Phaedra - “Do forgive me if this is a rude question, but are there many winged elves in the Elf Coast? Your wings a beautiful, by the way.”
Yudhisthir squeezes the rail tighter and says nothing.
Arjun answers “There are a fair few, though they tend to stay in the mountains. Outside your father’s shadow you say? How long a shadow does he cast?”
DM: While you are chatting the crew has started doing nautical things like keel-hauling the yardarm and hoisting the mizzenmast, or whatever. In any case, the ship begins moving out of port.
Phaedra - “He’s the hero of the town and the surrounding area, as he’s saved them from enemies a number of times. Everyone loves him.” She blushes for a moment. “Not that I don’t! He just suggested that it was time to make my own way in the world, and the area north with the giants seems like a good option. What are you heading north for?”
Arjun “Thief-hunting! And also, our elders decided we weren’t adventurous enough and effectively exiled us until such time as we went and made names for ourselves. Or caught the thieves, whichever comes first.”
Yudhisthir can be heard to growl softly when Arjun says this.
DM- After almost an hour, the ship has left port, pointed the pointy end north (for forecastle?), and begun sailing. Moffat Island lazily passes to the south. The sun is warm, the breeze is pleasant, and once the crew has calmed down, the Captain starts walking around talking to the passengers.
Saluki has noticed Phaedra chatting, and also who she’s chatting with. He observes for a while, and then sidles up to Yudhisthir, flipping a coin. “Care for a game of cards, Roc-boy?”
DM- Captain Quack- “Greetings, all! Welcome to the Plot Convenience. I’m Captain Quack, commander of this vessel. How are you all?” He shakes any nearby hands.
Yudhisthir gives Saluki a sneer and flips one wing, knocking the coin out of Saluki’s hands. “No.”
DM- Captain Quack, deciding that this is not a sociable group, skips his intros. “Look, it’s dragon turtle mating season right now, so they get extra aggressive. If you’re on deck and you see anything strange, let a member of the crew know. And I’ll not have fighting on my ship, if you want to fight, you can swim.” And he walks off.
Saluki gives Yud significant side eye. Phaedra sighs. “Please excuse my companion, his social graces are sometimes lacking. “ She gets a sparkle in her eye. “I wonder what a dragon turtle looks like? I bet they’re cute!” She starts looking around off the bow, to see if she can spot any.
All Yudhisthir can remember is that dragon turtles are so called cause they’re giant turtles, but they behave kind of like dragons- breathe hot steam, pretty aggressive even outside of mating season, and decently intelligent. But that’s it.
Arjun “Excuse my brother as well. He has manners when he wants.” He nudges Yudhistir.
Yudhisthir sighs slightly and turns around to face Phaedra and Saluki. “Beg pardon.” He doesn’t sound apologetic. “And they’re not ‘cute’. They’re giant turtles that breathe hot steam and attack for fun.”
Phaedra - “Giant, eh?” She doesn’t seem bothered by his surliness. “I wonder if they’re big enough to ride!” She also notes Saluki seems to be contemplating Yud in a way the screams “trouble” so she steps over, grabs his arm and points outward. “Ooh, is that one? Perhaps it’s just a rock…” She also kicks his shin and glares disapprovingly at him. He gives her an innocent look.
Arjun and Yudhisthir both turn to the rail to watch for turtles.
Phaedra continues her chat with Arjun after releasing Saluki. Saluki grumps around a bit before heading below deck.
DM- And the sun sets; you can just barely make out the tops of mountains (or possibly dragon turtles) on the horizon.
Arjun makes his excuses to Phaedra and the boys go below decks. Arjun finds a free hammock, and goes to sleep. Yudhisthir sits on the floor nearby and keeps watch. He’ll wake Arjun at midnight to take over.
Yudh notices a couple other people doing similar such things, but they don’t look too interested in idle chitchat. And the sun rises!
When Saluki starts asking the other passengers for birdseed, all he gets is chuckles, funny looks, and “No.”
Arjun and Yudhisthir are up on deck at sunrise, keeping out of the way of sailors and doing calisthenics.
When Phaedra climbs up on deck, she looks to the east and notices the enormous red cliffs. They’re at least 1500 feet high, overtopped by the rising sun. Several other passengers are standing, watching them go by.
She overhears one passenger tell another that they’re called the Red Cliffs on account of the orange-red stone they’re made of, and on the back side is the town of Port Chessie, the capital of the Wilderness of Gunnoe.
DM: After the Red Cliffs, the ship turns slightly westward and sails farther away from Moffat Island toward the mainland.
Arjun and Yudhisthir again go below decks at sunset, but this time Arjun takes first watch.
DM: Pretty soon there’s nothing left but ocean on all side, but otherwise the day passes uneventfully.
Day 3, midday:
Phaedra will see if she can borrow the spyglass that the pilot probably has to look around for animals.
DM: Pilot, because a pretty woman has walked up to him- “Uhhhh, sure! Here’s how you use it, bla bla bla…” he continues to give advice long after you’ve figured it out (like 5 seconds), and totes hangs around for way too long.
Phaedra sees, off to port, what appears to be a pair of rocks, which start moving and biting each other! Then she sees a blast of steam erupt from the water. “Wow, they are big enough to ride! Cool!” She watches them for a bit longer before ...
Pilot- “What? Give me the spyglass!” He grabs it and points it where you were looking. “Captain! Dragon turtles, 200 yards port!”
DM: Captain Quack jumps up. “Hard to starboard! Raise the sails!” He runs up to the pilot house and looks over at the dragon turtles. “Ha! They’re too busy fighting to notice us. Two lookouts to stern for one hour!”
“Aye Captain!”
DM: The rest of the day passes uneventfully, as does the next. The ship arrives in the Port of Shiboleth at dusk on day four, and nautical things happen quickly; the passengers are corralled belowdecks temporarily.
Saluki hasn’t found nearly enough card games to cheat at this trip, and so is bored waiting to disembark.
DM: Eventually some random crew member tells you you can debark, by which time it’s fully night, although there are plenty of torches, etc, around to light your path.
Yudhisthir says to Arjun: “Let’s find an inn. I’m too tired to ask after Zod tonight.”
Arjun shrugs “Alright.”
Phaedra asks one of the crew for a recommendation on an inn for the night.
DM: Sailor- “Here they’re all pretty much the same, the big difference is that if you go to the Giant’s Skull you’ll meet a bunch of people waiting to go west to the war.”
Pheadra thanks him for the information. ‘Well, I suppose that’s as good a place to start as any!”
She heads that direction, Saluki trailing behind, looking around. If they pass by Arjun and Yudhisthir she’ll mention the info to them, to see if they’d like to join.
DM: You do run into each other at the back of the crowd of passengers, who have bunched up at the base of the wharf. There is, apparently, someone at the front shouting about something. You all see that the wharf doesn’t just open to the port, there is a stone archway and gate with several soldiers standing around. Hanging above the gate is a tapestry that appears to depict a male face of some species, probably human.
Phaedra adds, “If it’s people from all over, someone might have heard of your thief.”
Arjun agrees to accompany them to the inn. Yudhisthir keeps his opinion to himself, as he is trying to listen to the shouting.
DM: A large man shouts to the crowd: “Welcome to Gran March! All Visitors must register with Royal Border Guard, and pay the entry tariff! We are also looking for volunteers and mercenaries in our war with the giants on our western border! If you are interested in dangerous work for lavish pay, speak to this dwarf right here!”
DM: Foghorn Leghorn gestures to a dwarf you can’t see, cause you’re at the back, and he’s short.
DM: Unseen Dwarf- “Uhhh….yes! The Commandant Vrianian <the dwarf pauses, and you guess he’s gesturing at the tapestry> has seen fit to offer pay and bounties to anyone willing to support the liberation and reconquest of the Lost Lands of Gran March, Sterich, and Geoff! Interested parties can speak to me here or later at many of the fine eating establishments in the town of Shiboleth!”
DM: You hear a couple of the more mercenary-type people saying they’re interested.
(click to show/hide)DM- The crowd in front of you begins to file forward, and as you approach the arch, you pass by the dwarf, who is talking to a couple of mercenary-looking types about hiring on to fight giants.
Arjun and Yudhisthir stop briefly to ask the dwarf if anyone going by the name of Zod signed up.
Dwarf- “Can you describe him?”
Arjun “Medium height human, dark hair, left-handed. May be in the company of four others.Would have come from the south, one of his companions has a magical sword that glows red”
DM- Everyone but Saluki notice that Cyr, who had been his normally talkative and gregarious self with the other passengers the entire voyage, seems rather subdued.
Dwarf- “The sword guy I do remember. No, they didn’t sign up. But look, if you’re just after them, you might as well head for the Giant’s Skull. It’s the largest bar in the port, and they probably would have stopped there for a drink. Are you interested in signing up to fight giants?”
Arjun: “Not until we talk to Zod, but thanks for the information.” He tips the guy a silver and he and Yudhisthir step aside, to wait for the others.
Phaedra says, “Sir, if we do sign up, does it require joining a military unit, or are some groups more independent?”
DM- The dwarf pockets the silver piece. “You all strike me as the more independent type, and yes we do hire independent groups, depending on need. But those are short term contracts, not regular work.”
Phaedra -”Hmm, thank you for the information, we will have to consider what the best course for our group is, and will find you later.” She smiles charmingly and moves to join Arjun and Yud. Along the way she’ll pat Cyr on the shoulder and say, “feeling alright, Cyr?”
Cyr, who seems to not have been paying attention- “Yeah, yeah, I’m fine.”
DM- The dwarf is not charmed by your smile. “Look, I’ll be at the Giant’s Skull later anyway, that’s where all the new hires stay before we head out.” He turns his attention to the more regular mercenary types.”
Yudhisthir leads the way away from the docks, heading toward the Giants Skull.
DM- At the end of the pier, at the archway, in a booth, sits a tired and bored looking functionary, who gives each character a thick paper card, on which he writes their name, date of entry, and city of entry, and occupation.
“Keep this with you at all times, otherwise you may be drafted into the war effort.”
Arjun and Yudhisthir tuck their cards into secure locations.
Phaedra puts hers in a leather fold that she keeps all her papers in (she’s very organized), while Saluki shoves his in his pack somewhere.
Yudhisthir and Phaedra, who happen to be adjacent to Cyr as they pass through the booth, hear him give his name as “Griswold of Hiasport, Journeyman locksmith.” Yudhisthir doesn’t care. Phaedra mentally tucks this info away for later.
DM- After you pass through the gate, you find that there is a wide selection of dive bars and houses of ill repute right along the waters edge. Franco’s Nine Tails, the Dragon Turtle, the Giant’s Skull (complete with what appears to be an actual giant’s skull hanging in front) are all bars, and there are several buildings with frosted windows, through which the silhouette of an attractive woman can be seen.
Yudhisthir heads straight for the Giant’s Skull, Arjun trailing in his wake. Phaedra follows, Saluki as well, but he seems like he’s scoping out the other establishments as well.
DM- As promised, the Giant’s Skull is indeed the largest bar/inn/dining hall, with attached stable and various other amenities. The noise can be heard quite a ways off, but aside from being loud and full of scummy villains, it seems no worse than any other place you’ve ever been.
Arjun muses “Not quite a wretched hive, but it should do…” He scans the crowd looking for the group of thieves. Yudhisthir, meanwhile, looks for someone who works there to ask if men or a group fitting the description has come through.
Yudh happens to talk to someone who seems to have a personal vendetta against Zod. “Zod? That bastard? Half the men in here would kill him on sight. If he passed through the great city of Shiboleth, in which you sit, it was in disguise, under an assumed name, and he’s gone already.”
Yudhisthir: “Well, damn. His companions too you think? Even the one with the magical sword that glows red? The recruitment dwarf said he at least passed through here.”
V for Vendetta considers for a moment. “I don’t know of anyone he travels with who has a red sword, so if Yurval saw him, the sword is probably new.”
Yudhisthir: “Where might he have gone from here?”
V for Vendetta takes a swig of his ale, after listening to Yudh stumble over his words for a minute. “The man is a well known con artist throughout Gran March, wanted for all manner of crimes, including, they say, in the slave trade that goes on in Moffat. So if he is back in Gran March, he’s likely headed to Hochoch, on the border of the Lost Lands. It’s due west of here six days.”
Yudhisthir: “Thanks. I’m grateful for your help. Have another ale or two, on me.” He slides a gold coin next to the guy’s mug.
V- “Thank you, lad. When you meet him, you greet him with a dagger in the gut, from everyone in Gran March, you hear?”
Yudhisthir laughs “Gladly!” and goes to rejoin Arjun.
He pokes Arjun in the ribs and relays the information that V gave him.
Arjun: “Excellent! We have our next destination then.”
Phaedra - “You are heading out then?” She pauses. “Would you like assistance? Since he is supposed to be traveling with so many companions, just the two of you seems a bit dangerous.”
Arjun smiles “We’ll rest here for the night, but I’d welcome the help if you have nothing more pressing to do. We didn’t exactly fare well last time we tangled with them.”
Yudhisthir is not saying anything, but he doesn’t look displeased.
Pheadra - “We’d love to join, and it gives us a chance to scope out the situation here better. I’m just not sure at the moment what the way we can best help is, so gathering more information about the full situation seems prudent. What about you, Cyr? Want to get out of this city and head to Hochoch?”
Cyr looks a little uncomfortable, but says, after a pause “Yeah, I’ll go with you guys.” He sighs. “I don’t normally tell people this, but I’m kinda from this region, so if you have any questions about it, ask.”
Phaedra smiles. ‘Delightful! We have our own local guide.”
Cyr- “Yeah, I’ll give you some history about the area…” and he then relates essentially what is in the Knowledge for the Locals Prologue.
Phaedra - “So it sounds like Hochoch is an area still in dispute, we’ll have to careful when going there. “ At this moment, Saluki returns from his game of cards with one of the other tables. “We’re going where now?”
Phaedra - “Hochoch. If you paid more attention, you’d already know these things.” She glowers.
At this point you hear someone calling for quiet from one end of the dining hall, where there is a small stage. “Ladies and Gentlemen! I am Yurval, a recruiter for the Grand Army of Gran March!”
Random Heckler- “Shut up Yurval, if we were going to sign up we would have!”
Yurval ignores him. “For those of you who have signed up to fight the giants, we will be leaving town tomorrow morning at 9 of the clock! Be outside on Faring Street, that side <he points at a side that is not the front> of the inn!”
Phaedra - “I wonder if it would be worthwhile to see if he has any jobs for independent groups in Hochoch? Two birds, one stone, and all that.”
Arjun: “We could ask.”
Yudhisthir: “I’m not helping with anything that takes away from the primary mission.”
Arjun “Easy, brother. If we’re going out that was anyway, we may as well get paid for it.”
Yudhisthir mutters sullenly.
Phaedra - “Why don’t Arjun and I go talk to Yurval, and you three can hold down the table?”
Saluki - “Fine with me. Care for a game of cards? Bird boy? Stick kid?” He starts shuffling.
Yudhisthir sneers “If you’re that determined to lose…”
Cyr shrugs. “Sure, I’ll play.”
Saluki starts dealing.
Phaedra and Arjun approach Yurval!
Phaedra - “Mr. Yurval, do you have a moment?”
Yurval- “Oh, you guys again! Yes, have you decided you want a job?”
Phaedra - “We have decided to travel to the town of Hochoch, and so were wondering if you had any jobs that required heading in that direction.”
Yurval- “Ha! All of them. What are you looking for? Guard duty? Messenger? Cook? Drover?”
Phaerdra starts “ Well--”
Arjun breaks in “What pays best? We have experience with herd animals, and we can all fight. Or we could do a combination of things, if the messages aren’t too urgent.”
Yurval motions for you to lean in, and lowers his voice. “The real jobs, the ones that really pay, I can’t talk about here, but I can in Hochoch.” He straightens up, and talks at a normal volume. “Well, not herding cows, I can tell you that! Why don’t you march with us to Hochoch, and I’ll be able to show you what’s available there.”
Arjun “Deal. See you tomorrow!”
They head back to the table.
Cyr looks up from his cards. “Well?”
Saluki appears to be slightly ahead in the game of Stoneport Hold Em. Yudhisthir is very behind.
Phaedra fills them in, including the ominous offer of jobs that “really pay.” Quietly, of course.
Arjun: “I have a good feeling about this though.”
Yudhisthir glares “Great. Kord again? A chance for great feats of heroism no doubt?”
Arjun grins but doesn’t reply.
You all can get rooms from Cedric without trouble, and get to sleep fine. BUT, at dawn, you’re all thundered out of bed by the sound of trumpets going off all over town!
Yudhisthir “Well that’s one way to wake up…”
The group convenes to find out what’s going on.
DM- When you get down to the dining hall, you notice that no one seems particularly concerned about the trumpets. Cedric’s younger brother, who also works at the inn, sees you and says, “Newcomers, I take it? Don’t worry, the trumpets for an attack are much different, and last longer. That’s just to wake everyone up. Would you like breakfast?”
Saluki’s grip on his scimitar loosens. Slightly.
Arjun, looking utterly unconcerned “Sure, Breakfast would be great, thanks.”
After eating, they get ready and go out to meet Yurval’s group.
Yurval is shouting at some people who are getting three wagons organized. He’s pretty distracted, and so the most you get out of him is, “Great, you’re here, just follow the wagons when they leave, should be about an hour.” It looks like there’s about 100 other people who are going with him.
Phaedra - “Huh, they have more people than I would have thought. I suppose this place must attract adventurers.”
Cyr- “Yeah, some, but most will only stick around for a year or so before they get tired of it and leave. The ones that survive, at least. The war’s been in kind of a stalemate for three years now.”
Eventually Yurval gets the wagons shouted into shape, and all three of them are loaded down with food. At that point he gets on the last one and yells, “Right, if you’re headed to Hochoch, follow me!” And the wagons start moving. Everyone but Yurval and the wagon drovers walks.
Phaedra - “Tally-ho, I suppose!”
Cue overland travel music!
DM- Nothing significant happens the first four days. The caravan passes through farmland, through a rather dark forest (called the Dim Forest), and a couple of small towns (three, in order from east to west: Beadnell, Audley, and Orlane), each more fortified than the last. The last two, the caravan passes what appears to be a different caravan, but one that has had a bunch of large (100-150 lb) rocks dropped on it, several dozen of them. Various crushed horse skeletons, broken siege engines, and wagon parts can be seen.
At each town, everyone’s entry document is checked, and anyone without is pulled aside for questioning, while the rest continue west. 1-2 people get pulled aside each time. Saluki has somehow managed to not lose his papers, despite appearances.
Arjun notices that Cyr had been talking to the people who got pulled aside, a day or so prior. He finds this curious and asks Yudhisthir if he’d noticed people protesting that they’d had papers. Yudhisthir hadn’t, because he doesn’t care, but resolves to keep an eye on Cyr from now on.
DM- After passing through the town of Orlane, you’re about a day’s march away from Hochoch. The smashed caravan was located between Orlane and Hochoch. On the evening of the sixth day of travel, the wagons, which have been at the front the whole time, slow, and Yurval stands on the back once again.
Once you crest the rise, you can clearly see a large town on the far side of the river, and can easily see that it has been through several battles, even from here.
Yurval- “Look hard at this! That is the city of Hochoch, the only foothold in the Lost Lands! Everything across that river, and outside the city walls, is the territory of the giants!”
The group continues heading toward the tent city that has sprung up on the near side of the river, and soon after you can smell the packed mass of humanity. Even in the early evening, it’s full of activity, although a lot of that seems to be drinking and card games.
Everyone’s card gets checked at the ramparts to the tent city (and once again, someone is pulled aside). Yurval shouts at most of the group to head this way or that, but only says to wait when he sees the party. Eventually everyone else is disposed of, and he talks to you.
Yurval- “Okay, from here I have some stuff to keep me busy with for a day or so, so take the ferry across the river, have a look around, and I’ll meet you at the Nymph’s Arms the morning day after tomorrow.” And he rushes off to do whatever it is he does.
Arjun “Alright! Ferry it is.” He starts walking. Phaedra follows, Saluki is again scoping out good gambling opportunities.
There are probably half a dozen card or dice game within 100 feet of you, all patronised by soldier-looking people. He’ll keep that in mind for later.
The dock for the ferry is right next to what used to be a bridge across the river. The ferryman says it’s one gold eagle per person.
Arjun holds out a gold coin “Is this the correct amount?”
Ferryman eyes it for 1/10 of a microsecond and then snatches it from Arjun’s hand. “Close enough.” Yudhisthir pays. Phaedra and Saluki also pay. Cyr pays as well, and doesn’t appear to swindle anything from anyone.
The ride across the river takes about ten minutes, and on the far side you again see a pretty standard assortment of shallow-water port facilities, bars, etc, and several streets leading uphill. A ways away on your right you can see the somewhat smashed remnants of a fort, which is on a bluff overlooking a bend in the river.
Phaedra - “To the Nymph’s Arms, I suppose!”
A nearby dockworker hears this, does a double take, and gives you all a funny look. “Are you sure you can afford it? Ha!”
Arjun stops “It’s an expensive inn, then?”
A different funny look, implying that you’re kind of dumb. “Yes, mostly nobles stay there, and I think they would not like your sort tracking mud into the carpets! But that’s none of my business.”
Yudhisthir “Hn. It’s not as though we have to stay there. We just have to meet there. Let’s go.”
Phaedra self-consciously brushes some dirt off her clothes. “Nobles, huh.” She pauses. “Wait, why are there nobles in a war zone?”
Arjun “Duty, honor, and glory?”
Yudhisthir “Money, and the desire to have land over which to be nobles?”
Cyr- “I heard most of them ran for Shiboleth when Hochoch was taken by the giants. So maybe the hotel is just keeping up appearances.”
Saluki - “May as well check out the place so we know where it is, we can always pick somewhere else to stay if they look like they’ll kick us out!”
DM- So you wander around town for a while, and if you ask people for directions, they give you funny looks, but do point you toward the Nymphs Arms. As you walk, you can take stock of the damage the town has received. Most of the fighting was in the larger streets, some of which are clear, and some of which aren’t. You also see the occasional large rock lying in the road or embedded in a wall.
Finally, you arrive at the Nymph’s Arms, which looks like it was, before, thoroughly glamorous, and is now partly hidden behind ramparts and barricades. Even from the street you can see the place took a beating and burning at least twice. There are a few guards standing around in front of a break in the barricades.
(click to show/hide)You’re still loitering in the street in front of the Nymphs Arms. The guards are eyeballing you. Fluttering at the top of the hotel you can see a coat of arms (presumably for Geoff): a shield divided in half lengthwise, black on the left, white on the right, with a griffon rampant facing left, colored the opposite of the background. There’s a specific heraldry-esque way of explaining this, but you don’t know what it is.
Yudhisthir: “Alright, we found it. Now let’s find somewhere cheap to sleep.”
Arjun: “That’s awfully hasty. We should at least check out the inside.”
Cyr- “Yeah, we should. You never know what you’ll find.”
Yudhisthir rolls his eyes heavenward. “Whatever.” He starts walking to the entrance, followed closely by his brother.
The guard on the left eyeballs you harder. “Papers, please.” He’s not friendly.
Yudhisthir and Arjun show their papers
Arjun “Afternoon, sir! We’re supposed to meet Yurval here in the morning the day after tomorrow. We thought we’d see what the place is like. We’ve heard a lot about it since arriving in town.”
The guard’s expression warms up a bit once you name drop Yurval. “Hmm, fine. I doubt the hotel will let you stay here, cause you don’t look like their kind of people, but go on in.”
Arjun: “Many thanks, man!’
He checks everyone’s papers as you file through. Cyr is last, and you hear the guard say something like, “Huh, you don’t really dress like a monk, Brother Swift.”
Phaedra - “Well, that went all right, I suppose.”
Yudhisthir mutters to Arjun “You talk too much, and that Cyr is really starting to make me suspicious.”
Arjun smiles serenely “You say that, but it got us in, didn’t it?”
Right behind the ramparts are some marble steps, and beyond those is what used to be a really nice inn. The larger holes have been patched, badly. The inside is the same, a high-class establishment with a couple of 400-lb rocks sitting in divots in the marble. One is conveniently located right in front of the reception desk, with a mostly patched skylight above it.
Cedric’s Snooty Cousin looks down his nose at you as you walk in. There are a couple of guards toward the corners, and one or two people who look like government functionaries of some kind, but it’s mostly pretty deserted. One guy in particular has a peg leg, but he ignores you as he hobbles by.
Arjun waves at CSC “Good evening, sir! We are supposed to meet Yurval here the morning after tomorrow, and we were wondering about you lodging rates?”
Saluki starts wandering around, seeing if the government functionaries are doing anything interesting without getting too close.
CSC- “...indeed. Formerly we charged 30 gold griffons per day, but in our reduced circumstances the remittance from you would be 50.”
The functionaries appear to be mostly following up on earlier conversations and calling it a night.
Phaedra - “Well, it sounds like everything is pretty straightforward as far as the meeting goes, why don’t we look around elsewhere for a bit more, I suppose?”
CSC looks displeased that you’re still around, but doesn’t tell you to leave. There is some kind of bar restaurant thingy to the left of the grand staircase, and a hall off to the right.
Arjun: “Agreed! We wouldn’t want to drive away the other customers.” He waves to CSC again and ambles out into the street.
You notice that most places either extinguish all their lights, or have heavy shutters. It’s nearly as dark as the countryside.
Phaedra - “I suppose the lack of light gives the giants fewer targets.”
Arjun hums affirmatively and goes over the guard they talked to on their way in. “Question for you, my man - are there any inns here that might let us stay?
Guard- “Yeah, head that way” he points down the street “two blocks, turn left, and you’ll find a couple inns. They’ll have a candle in front if they’re in business.”
Arjun: “You’re a life-saver, man” He hands the guard a silver and calls to the others.
The coin disappears instantly.
The group heads down the way the guard indicated.
This street is by far the liveliest you’ve seen, in that there are people around at all. You do see a couple of establishments with a single candle lit in front of closed and shuttered doors and windows, but most of the inns have either a greasy looking man or a rather scantily clad woman standing in front. They all eyeball you as you walk by.
Saluki - “Welp, one candle is as good as another!” He chooses a random candle inn and opens the door.
It’s livelier inside, although still pretty subdued. There are a few people sitting around chatting (pretty mercenary looking types), and Cedric looks at you levelly as you walk in. There is also a scantily clad dwarf woman sitting at the bar, chatting with him.
Yudhisthir strides to the bar and, ignoring the dwarf, addresses Cedric. “We’re in need of lodging for tonight and tomorrow. Do you have any rooms available?”
Cedric- “Ha! Only all of them. Do you also want dinner? That’s a gold griffon for two meals a day, and the room is a gold griffon each night.”
Yudhisthir. “That’s fine.” He pulls out a couple gold coins. “Are these the right amount? I know they’re not local currency.”
Cedric shrugs. “These days, who cares?” He takes the money.
Phaedra and Saluki will also purchase rooms for themselves and two meals. Arjun as well.
Cyr pays also. Most of the party finds a table to sit at.
Saluki also orders a beer, if such things exist here, and seats himself next to the dwarf woman. “Saluki of the Mountain Wolves, at your service. And you are…?”
The dwarf smirks, chuckles, and checks him out. “Honey, I’m Kratha, proprietor of this establishment and most of the others on this street. You’re new in town?”
Saluki - “We are indeed, just rolled in with the most recent caravan of new recruits. Though I think my compatriots and I are looking for more specialized work than the average good soldier.”
Her eyes narrow a bit. “You all do look like more than the average soldier. What kind of work are you looking for?”
Saluki - “Well, we’re open to different opportunities… messengers, spies, covert strike team, who knows? We have a meeting later with Yurval about it, he seems pretty famous around here. You know of him?”
Kratha- “Ha, he’s just a recruiter for the Duke, not really important, but yes, he’s very well known.”
Saluki - “Is the Duke in charge of this town?”
Kratha- “He wants to be. Gran March, the country across the river, wants to annex this area as payment for helping the Duke fight off the giants, so he moved here a couple weeks ago to prevent that.”
Saluki - “I can’t imagine those of you that have been in this town a while appreciate him moving in like that.”
Kratha- “Who cares? He doesn’t interfere with me, and before he came back, the giants and orcs had the run of the place. I was stuck in Orlane until Hochoch was retaken, and believe me, honey, that was no picnic.”
Saluki smiles. “Well, I’m glad it was retaken too then! You must be pretty important yourself if you own this whole street.”
Kratha smirks again. “Depends on who you ask. Cedric, can you ask around and see if anyone has any employment for this fine man and his friends? I’m sure we can come up with something.”
Cedric- “Certainly, ma’am.”
Saluki - “Delightful! We’d be happy to help the citizens of Hochoch however it is needed.” He hems a bit. “I should run any particulars by my group first, of course.”
Kratha extends her hand. “It was pleasant to meet you, Saluki. I’m going to be the boss for a few hours, but I’m sure I’ll be seeing you later.” She winks, downs her drink, and heads out.
Saluki grins. “Absolutely, madam.” He rejoins the others at whatever table they’ve acquired.
The others are well into their meals.
Saluki - “Looks like Yurval isn’t the only game in town, Kratha there owns this whole street and says she’ll keep us in mind for jobs as well.”
Arjun: “Well that’s good to know!”
Yudhisthir finished his meal and goes the bar to talk to Cedric.
Cedric- “Good evening again. What can I do for you?”
Yudhisthir: “My Brother and I are looking for a man who goes by the name of Zod.” He describes Zod and his companions again.
Cedric- “Hmmmm...Zod is a pretty notorious criminal, but I would have to ask around for some specifics....which can get pretty expensive. I do know that he is back in the region, or at least is said to be.”
Yudhisthir slides two gold across the bar. “We have some questions to ask him, so anything you can find would be appreciated.”
Cedric takes the coins. “Around here, information isn’t cheap.”
Yudhisthir slides two more gold across the bar “I see that.”
Cedric takes the third and fourth coins. “I’ll see what I can do. Are you and your friends mostly settled for the night?”
Yudhisthir “I expect so. We’ll be around town tomorrow and probably back here that night.”
Cedric- “Delightful. Then I’m sure I’ll see you in the morning.”
Yudhisthir “You have my thanks.” he returns to the table.
Arjun: “Well?”
Yudhisthir: “He knows of him. But like everything else here, information is at a premium.”
Arjun shrugs: “So be it. We have plenty.”
Cyr looks pretty interested in going to bed. It’s been a long day.
<Cue nighttime sleeping music!>
Next Morning!
The boys come down for breakfast.
There is a youthful looking man behind the counter who is NOT CEDRIC. HAS THE WORLD COME TO AN END?
Man- “You guys want breakfast?”
Cyr also comes down at this point.
Arjun; “If you please! Eh… somehow I expected Cedric to be manning the bar…”
Man- “He said he had some errands to run today, so it I’m filling in. Name’s Herzog.”
Arjun: “Huh. Nice to meet you!”
Saluki also comes down, chipper as ever. He only looks surprised for a minimum of moments before ordering breakfast.
Eventually Phaedra emerges as well. She looks put together, but also glares at the morning sun a bit.
You sit down and get some food. Herzog brings it over to you, and only nearly trips and drops everything a couple of times (but manages not to). While you’re eating, you see Yurval walk in. He looks around.
Arjun calls out; “Yurval! Good morning!”
Yurval- “Oh! There you are. My boss is ready to meet with you as soon as you’re done with breakfast, over at the Nymph’s Arms.
Arjun: “Already? Alright.”
Yurval- “Yeah, apparently they have something specific they want to interview you for. Anyway. Just go to the front desk and ask to see Vincent.”
Phaedra - “We’ll be there soon, I suppose!”
Herzog- “Man, you guys are working for Vincent? Wow.”
Yudhisthir: “You know him?”
Herzog- “I know OF him. He’s the Duke’s right hand man. You can’t miss him, he’s only got one leg. I think he lost it fighting the giants during the invasion.”
Yudhisthir: “What kind of man do people say he is? Fair? Hard? Honest?”
Yurval is long gone by this point.
Herzog- “All three, I guess.”
Yudhisthir: “Anything else?”
Herzog- “Not really. He does work for the Duke, so whatever you do, don’t screw it up.”
Arjun: “Thanks for the advice!” He leaves a gold on the table as he gets up to leave.
Everybody heads over to the Nymph’s Arms! As you leave the inn, you note that it’s called the Flying Castle.
Phaedra - “Didn’t a guy with a peg leg walk past us in the Arms yesterday?”
Cyr- “Yup.”
Phaedra - “I wonder if he called us over early because he saw us and thought we were….” She glances over the group, “ah…. Perfect for the job?”
Yudhisthir mutters “Expendable.”
At the barricade, it’s the same guards as last night, looking really tired. They recognise you though, and let you through after glancing at your paperwork again.
Cedric’s Snooty Cousin sighs in dismay when you walk in. You can hear this from 30 feet away.
Arjun: “Morning, sir! We’re here at Vincent’s bidding to meet with him”
CSC- “...certainly you are.” He summons a bellhop, who runs off, presumably to find Vincent. After a few minutes the bellhop returns and says “Please follow me, lady and gentlemen.”
The group follows the bellhop.
He takes you to what was probably a private dining hall at one point, but has been converted into some kind of command center. It’s fairly busy, with various unifomed types heading in and out, and the old, kinda crusty, peg legged guy sitting at the end of the table. He stands as you walk in.
Vincent- “Are you the mercenaries Yurval sent here?”
Phaedra - “Yes sir, that is us.”
Vincent- “Good, have a seat and get some coffee. What brings you to this part of the world?”
There’s a coffee service on a table next to the wall.
Arjun: “My brother” He gestures to Yudhisthir ”and I are seeking a thief and his companions. These others seek adventure and have agreed to help us with ours.”
Vincent- “Huh. What do you think of Gran March?”
Vincent squints. “No opinion, then? What thief are you chasing?”
Arjun: “One by the name of Zod, who, last we saw traveled with four other men, one of whom wields a red-glowing sword.”
Vincent- “Huh, that bastard. He’s small potatoes compared to what we’re dealing with here, but he is a nuisance, and no mistake. He’s wrapped up in a slave trading ring, runs some other stuff too. Well, if you accept this job, your pursuit for him will be your hobby, not your job.”
Phaedra - “We’re waiting on information about him currently anyway, so we’re free. And it sounds like he’s well known here, so I’m sure there will be plenty of time to find him once your job is finished, I suppose. What type of job is it you’d like us to undertake?”
Vincent squints more, and hobbles over to a map. He points at Hochoch. “This is us. See this town, called Midwood? It was attacked eight years ago, like every other town west of here. But the reports since then all say it’s peaceful and prosperous. All you have to do is go there, find out the truth of this, and report back. That’s all.”
Phaedra - “A scouting mission, then. And according to the map, it seems like it’s only a day or two’s journey away, I suppose.”
Vincent- “The cartographer placed the town wrong. It’s on that river to the west, so it’s around 35 miles away if you travel by road, which you shouldn’t do if you want to survive. This mission is your job interview. Do well, and I’ll have other work for you.”
Phaedra - “Seems reasonable. Pay for this job would be upon our return as well, then?”
Vincent- “The pay for this job is whatever you can take off any orcs or giants you can kill, plus the prospect of future employment.”
Phaedra smiles thinly. “Well, as long as the future employment pays a bit better, I suppose this is acceptable….?” She looks around at the others.
Arjun: “That’ll work for now.”
Yudhisthir sneers but says nothing.
Cyr- “Yeah, that’s fine.”
Vincent snaps his head around when Cyr talks. “From Sterich, I hear? Hmm, we’ll see how this goes. I’ll not have an infiltrator working for us.”
Cyr goes pale. “I haven’t lived in Sterich for years, I’m, uhh, as mercenary as everyone else here, you don’t need to worry about me.”
Phaedra - “He travelled with us all the way from Moffat, I can confirm he hasn’t been here recently.” She looks a little concerned at Vincent’s reaction.
Vincent glares for a minute. “Get you going, we have other things riding on the information you bring back.”
The party leaves.
Once they’re outside, Yudhisthir speaks. “I need to go back to our inn before we leave.” He walks off in that direction without waiting to see if anyone else follows. Arjun follows him ,but more slowly.
Phaedra turns to Cyr. “I suppose this country must have some disagreement with Sterich?”
Cyr sighs. “Yeah, look, Sterich is the next country south, and Geoff’s old capitol, Gorna, is near the old border. The giants took it and most of Sterich, but that’s all been recaptured. Sterich is probably just trying to carve their piece out of Geoff, just like Gran March is.”
Phaedra - “His ire seemed rather more than simply that, I wonder if something else has happened since you were last here. We’ll have to be careful.”
Cyr- “I have no idea.”
Back at the Flying Castle, Cedric is once again behind the bar. He greets Yudh as he walks in.
Yudhisthir: “I don’t suppose you’ve any news of Zod?” He orders a drink.
Cedric- “For the amount you paid, all I could learn is that one of Zod’s slaving routes starts inside the Lost Lands, and allegedly runs near here. That’s all.”
Yudhisthir counts out 10 gold. “Alright. We’re leaving presently, but should be back at some point.”
Cedric- “This’ll help for next time. Stay safe.”
Yudhisthir “Thanks.” He finishes his drink and leaves to rejoin the others.
It doesn’t take you long to find the main gate, which looks like it’s been smashed down and repaired more than once. The guards look pretty incredulous when you ask to head out, but open the gate a crack regardless.
Except for a few insects, it is dead silent outside the walls.
Arjun: “Well, off the road then.” The group sets out due west, sticking to cover as much as possible.
You see the occasional old moldered residue of battles from years past (but not that many years past), but for the whole morning you don’t encounter anything but plants (non-carnivorous).
Phaedra and Saluki hear something, Arjun sees something, and Yudh does both. The something is a pair of orcs, walking along with weapons drawn.
Arjun and Yudhisthir both pull out their ranged weapons and get behind the nearest concealment.
Yudhisthir points out the orcs to Phaedra and Saluki.
Phaedra nods, mutters something quietly, and then climbs the nearest tree. Saluki draws a scimitar.
Cyr also saw them, and drew his crossbow, which he’s loading. Cyr steps on a really dry branch, which snaps loudly.
The orcs look in that direction and see at least one of you. They stop, and one turns and shouts something behind him in orcish.
Cyr fires his crossbow really quick, nailing one orc in the throat and dropping it.
Yudhisthir slings a stone at him. The last orc stumbles but doesn’t fall; you bounced the rock off his head (a non-vital organ).
The remaining orc drops his sword and pulls out a javelin to throw at you, while still yelling. He throws a javelin, and misses handily. You can definitely hear more orcs (or at least more shouting).
Phaedra fires an eldritch blast from her perch!
The orc dodges it, but just barely. He has a really weird look on his face. Something between awe and horror.
Saluki looks back at Phaedra, confused, as he’s never seen that kind of magic before. He then shrugs and moves to the front of the group, to take on any orcs that approach.
Arjun grabs the orc’s javelin and tests its heft. Seems like a pretty normal javelin to you.
A bunch more orcs (you count six initially) arrive huffing from the woods. A slightly larger one is shouting at them in orcish; they all have javelins out, except for the leader, who has a scimitar.
Cyr picks a random minion and fires again, but misses.
Yudh targets the same orc as he hit earlier, but his stone goes wide. He drops his sling and draws his swords.
The orc sneers at you and promptly throws his javelin into the ground about 15 feet ahead of him.
Saluki runs to the orc Yudh injured and strikes it with his sword. He was pretty woozy from the sling stone, so Saluki cuts his throat pretty easily, and he drops.
Phaedra blasts the orc to the left of Saluki. He is slightly singed. Looks like it took a bit out of him, though.
Arjun throws the orc’s javelin back in its general direction. And misses. Yudhisthir shouts at him “Stop goofing off!”
Saluki - “Don’t give the weapon’s back! This isn’t dodge ball!”
Cyr loads and fires at the singed orc. And misses. “Dammit!”
Three orcs throw their javelins at Saluki, cause he’s convenient. One has to take a 5’ step. Only one of them hits, though.
Yudhisthir runs toward the nearest orc and slashes at him. He connects at the neck, nearly decapitating the orc, who dies immediately.
Saluki sidesteps to the right, and hit the orc there. You hit him hard enough that he passes out, but he’s still breathing.
Since another orc has moved just inside Phaedra’s range, she’ll fire at him! She hits! He’s still up, but doesn’t look happy about it.
Arjun, since he’s out of range of just about everybody, will move closer and throw a javelin at the guy to the left of the party. The orc drops, but doesn’t sound dead.
Cyr doesn’t have a clear shot, so he moves over to his left, but far enough that that’s all he’s doing.
Yudhisthir advances and attack the nearest orc (ruining Cyr’s sightlines undoubtedly). You slash the orc soundly, but all he does is draw his sword and swing back. Or tries to, he drops the sword while drawing it, leaving him unarmed. Yudhisthir takes advantage and strikes with his longsword, killing the orc.
The only remaining orc on the front line turns to run away! Two of the others throw javelins at Saluki, while the leader steps toward Yudh. One misses, but the nearer one hits pretty hard. Yudhisthir takes a hard hit from the orcs’ leader.
Phaedra climbs down from her tree and advances, moving around the large one to a place she can hit the others from.
Saluki moves into flank the big guy! He swings and hits, but the orc doesn’t drop.
Phaedra fires at javelin guy! He falls over, gently cooked.
Arjun draws his sword and move (so slow) to assist Yudhisthir.
Yudhisthir is stunned from his injury and can’t get his swords to work right. He misses his attempts at the orc leader.
Cyr loads and fires yet again, planting a crossbow bolt in the orc’s face. He dies.
The orc leader swings back…but misses.
Phaedra and Cyr can hear the running orc shouting at someone.
Saluki stabs the orc in the back and he collapses all gurgly and stuff.
Arjun runs for Yudhisthir and lays hands on him, healing most of his injury.
Phaedra - “We should go, I suppose, more are coming.”
Cyr- “Start running north?”
Phaedra - “That’s the direction he ran, across the river first is better!”
Saluki and Yudh both notice that the lead orc’s scimitar is extremely high quality, as are four of the javelins laying nearby.
Saluki will grab it, saying, “Ooh, I’ve been looking for second one of these!”
Yudhisthir grabs the javelins, shoves them at Arjun and goes to look for his sling, which he finds immediately.
Cyr is quickly rifling through the nearest orcs pockets. And then shoots him in the face, cause he was still alive.
Phaedra will do a quick rifle herself, since she’s near a bunch. And will fry the one near her that’s still alive. The only thing she finds is a kind of crumpled note.
Arjun “Let’s go! We should set up an ambush!”
Phaedra - “I don’t see a good spot for it, if we cross the river they shouldn’t be able to follow very easily.”
Cyr- “Unless whoever he’s running to is still on the other side.”
Arjun notices that Saluki is injured and grabs him for a quick heal
Everyone runs to the river.
By the time you get there, you can see three orcs, plus two other people, who look like they’re chained up, splashing onto the opposite bank.
Phaedra urgently signals everyone to turn around until they’re not quite so obviously in sight.
Arjun “There’s only three of them. Let’s get them!”

Big Three Chinese airlines lost $2 billion as virus kills travel
The big three state-run Chinese airlines reported a slump in earnings in the first quarter as the coronavirus upended travel demand, but there are signs the worst of the crisis is over for them.
China Southern Airlines Co. and China Eastern Airlines Corp. lost RMB 5.3 billion (USD 750 million) and RMB 3.9 billion, respectively, in the three Months ended March 31. Air China Ltd. posted a loss of RMB 4.8 billion for the period.
Chinese airlines are operating at about half the seat capacity they had before the virus began to impact travel in late January. While the country’s aviation market is off its lows thanks to a pickup in domestic flights as people returned to work, the recovery has a long way to go as there’s little demand for leisure trips and international traffic has screeched to a halt.
As the virus upset the pecking order of Chinese airlines, Shanghai-listed budget carrier Spring Airlines Co. at one point emerged as the nation’s biggest carrier by international capacity after the “Big Three” scaled back their operations, data from OAG Aviation Worldwide showed. Spring Airlines said it lost 227.3 million yuan in the first quarter.
Hainan Airlines Holding Co. also announced quarterly results on Wednesday. The indebted carrier, whose parent HNA Group Co. was effectively taken over by the Hainan provincial government in late February, said it lost 6.3 billion yuan in the first quarter.
Chinese carriers are adding capacity ahead of the national holidays that start Friday and run through May 5. In the past two months, more than 30% of domestic capacity has returned in China, according to Cirium.
“As many countries in Asia have passed what is hoped to be the peak of the pandemic, Cirium’s data shows trends of increased air travel capacity for the region, with intra-Asia capacity improving by 10% between April 14 and April 22,” the aviation analytics company said in a statement. “The ‘green shoots’ of recovery in China’s domestic market are a beacon of hope for the aviation industry.”

BCS calls on parties to understand the implications of the Internet of Things
by NCN Staff September 18, 2014
A recent survey by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, found that 82 per cent of respondents feel that consumers should have the opportunity to opt out of an Internet of Things solution and 68 per cent have concerns about privacy in connection with the internet of things.
David Evans, membership director, explained, ‘The Internet of Things is a very exciting technological evolution, where capability and – more importantly – unit costs enable an explosion of sensors and other devices talking to each other and collecting data. Like any technology shift, there are opportunities and risks for the public.
‘The opportunities are overwhelming, but the long term implications for privacy, security and personal freedom are unclear. The main message for the political parties is that they need to get to grips with the issues, developing a vision for what matters in the digital age.’
To examine the implications of the Internet of Things (IoT) for society, businesses and government, the Institute is hosting fringe events at both the Labour and Conservative autumn party conferences entitled ‘Internet of Things: Benefits vs Privacy’.
The events will see panellists discussing:
• How will the IoT drive a more rational market for investment and jobs? As tech companies offer an increasing number of solutions that simplify our daily lives and lead to modified behaviours, what does that translate to in real societal benefits of cost savings and increased efficiencies for both consumers and government?
• As we surrender more of our everyday lives to IoT technology, what are the privacy implications and security risks? Are people fully aware of the implications of IoT and the related collecting, storage, and sharing of data?
• The regulatory challenges behind the IoT. How can government and industry address the fundamental security and privacy issues, ensuring that consumer rights are protected whilst innovation is not stifled?
Confirmed panellists for the Labour Party Conference: Monday 22nd September, 17:30 until 18:45, Central 5, Manchester Central
• Chair Tony Grew, Parliamentary Editor, Politics Home @ayestotheright
• Chi Onwurah MP, co-chair, Internet and Communications Technology All-Party Group (Shadow Minister for Cabinet Office) @ChiOnwurah
• Helen Goodman MP, Shadow Minister for Culture, Media and Sport @HelenGoodmanMP

Los Angeles County child contracts plague while visiting Yosemite National Park
Health officials in California are investigating a human plague case in an Los Angeles County child.
Oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis/CDC
They say a the child became ill and was hospitalized after visiting the Stanislaus National Forest and camping at Crane Flat Campground in Yosemite National Park in mid-July.
No other members of the camping party reported symptoms and health officials are continuing to monitor the child’s family and treatment providers. The child is recovering.
This is the third human plague case reported since yesterday. Colorado health officials reported on two plague cases, one fatal on Wednesday.
The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is working closely with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health (LACDPH), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Yosemite National Park and the U. S. Forest Service to investigate the source of the infection, and the patient’s travel history and activities during the incubation period.
CDPH Director and State Health Officer Dr. Karen Smith said, “Human cases of plague are rare, with the last reported human infection in California occurring in 2006.
“Although this is a rare disease, people should protect themselves from infection by avoiding any contact with wild rodents. Never feed squirrels, chipmunks, or other rodents in picnic or campground areas, and never touch sick or dead rodents. Protect your pets from fleas and keep them away from wild animals.”
As a precaution, Yosemite National Park will provide additional information to visitors about steps to prevent plague exposure, and post caution signs at the Crane Flat campground and nearby campgrounds. Steps the public can take to avoid exposure to human plague include:
Never feed squirrels, chipmunks or other rodents and never touch sick or dead rodents
Avoid walking, hiking or camping near rodent burrows
Wear long pants tucked into socks or boot tops to reduce exposure to fleas
Spray insect repellent containing DEET on socks and pant cuffs to reduce exposure to fleas
Keep wild rodents out of homes, trailers, and outbuildings and away from pets.
The last reported cases of human plague in California occurred in 2005 and 2006 in Mono, Los Angeles and Kern counties and all three patients survived following treatment with antibiotics. Since 1970, 42 human cases of plague have been confirmed in California, of which nine were fatal.

New World Order-ism: A Social Pathology
November 2, 2016 / Nick Reed
With economic and political instability on the rise, a New World Order (NWO) appears to be on the horizon. Power and wealth continue to consolidate and centralize out of the hands of the many and into the hands of the few. Yet even the most intelligent politician cannot solve the problems of 7 billion people whom they have never met and don’t know anything about. So why does global government seem inevitable?
Thus far, the NWO has been interpreted to be a political phenomenon, primarily driven by a secret cabal of elitist financial and political leaders, (1) yet nonetheless it has remained strictly an external phenomenon, with no internal psycho-spiritual counter-part to speak of. However the New World Order is not just an external phenomenon, but an expression of a deep and archetypal force lying just below the surface of our consciousness, driving humanity ever forward in it’s secret direction.

A Fine Vintage
A Wicklow wreck has been reborn as a modern homage to midcentury and 1970s retro.
Words Grace Adlington Photography Ruth Maria Murphy for Sunday Times Style magazine
The words “1980s bungalow” are not normally linked to interiors inspiration. But then Eithne Fitzpatrick’s home in north Wicklow is not your average 1980s bungalow. In fact, it’s not quite a bungalow, with its master bedroom perched atop the centre of the otherwise long and sprawling single-storey home. And although it was built in the early 1980s, it was designed in the 1970s ranch style that Fitzpatrick, 54, says reminded her of classic American TV shows such as Bewitched and The Partridge Family. “That’s what aroused nostalgia in me,” she says of what was an unloved and dilapidated shell when she bought it last year. “I wanted to breathe new life into it.”
“That’s what aroused nostalgia in me.”
The restaurateur, art director and interiors consultant is a collector of midcentury ephemera, and this was the four-bedroom backdrop she needed for her G Plan coffee tables, Greaves and Thomas armchairs and Le Corbusier loungers. “I don’t buy things because they’re retro, but because I love them, because they make me feel good. I find them stimulating, they radiate a fantastic joie de vivre.” And so the restoration began, less a pastiche of That ’70s Show and more a love letter to a time when “curves were sensual, kitchens were central hubs and furniture was the ‘vêtements’ of the house”. The joy came from reviving original features, although not all of them were original to this house — the decoration around the bar is 1970s banisters found in a skip, and the period staircase was transplanted because it was more open than the one already in the house, so it let in more light.
The joy came from reviving original features, although not all of them were original to this house — the decoration around the bar is 1970s banisters found in a skip, and the period staircase was transplanted because it was more open than the one already in the house, so it let in more light.
The starting point for the master bedroom was the screen that hangs above the bed, which Fitzpatrick’s parents brought back from Japan in 1975. The original brick wall is softened by the plush grey carpet; the chartreuse accents of the curtains, bed and lights are straight from the 1970s.
There’s a surprising mix of eras and provenance — from 1960s Switzerland via Le Corbusier to 21st-century Finnish prints by Marimekko — but it all seems to come together under Fitzpatrick’s curation. “I’ve been told I have good taste, and when people seem unsure about my ideas, I say, ‘Trust me, it’ll work.’ And it always does.”
It’s this talent she brings to Eily Roe Interiors, the design firm she consults for alongside the interiors designer Eily Roe. “Eily is really technical and can draw a room and make the most of a space, while I have a sense for what to put where.”
And yes, those things can be as varied as vintage bar stools unearthed in Antwerp or contemporary tiles found online, but there’s a coherence that holds them together. “All these things stand the test of time,” Fitzpatrick says, surveying her retro shrine. “They lift the soul.”

* Some revenue sources are supplementary and not sufficient. We aim to include all the revenue sources actually used by OA journals, even if they are small parts of larger business models.
* If an example is dated (a given journal no longer uses a given model), please just change the verbs to the past tense. Don't delete the example. The list should track what models are now in use and what models were once tried.
* For the time being, the major categories are in alphabetical order, which does not reflect their relative prevalence.
* Suggested short URL for this page = [http://bit.ly/oad-journal-models bit.ly/oad-journal-models]

==Auction==
* ''Description''. The model is for publishers to bid on articles to publish. The bid is in ''academic dollars'', not actual currency or legal tender. The academic dollars would be shared with the authors, editors, and publishers of the works cited by the article.
** ''Example''. The model was first proposed by David Zetland a 2004 [http://www.agecon.ucdavis.edu/graduateprogram/ourgradstuds/Student-pages/zetland/jmarket.pdf preprint] (inactive link), and then in a 2007 [http://arno.uvt.nl/show.cgi?fid=65098 discussion paper] and subsequent 2010 ''Public Choice'' [http://www.springerlink.com/content/2q80214867370564/ article] with Jens Prüfer. It works as follows (quoting Prüfer and Zetland): "In the AMJA [Auction Model for Journal Articles], authors write papers, market them to editors, and post them for auction. Editors bid Academic Dollars (A$) for papers and assign "purchases" to referees. Referees put in effort to review and improve —not reject— papers. Readers read and cite articles (published papers) in their own work. When the papers of those readers (now authors) are later auctioned, A$ are redistributed to authors, editors and referees of cited articles as a reward for quality." While the ''Public Choice'' article does not mention this model's potential benefit for being a self-sustaining OA business model, a 2004 [http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2004/11/a_market_for_jo.html blog post] by Alex Tabarrok suggests the way in which an auction model could sustainably support an OA journal.
# ''Variation''. Monetary bidding. Under this [https://blog.scholasticahq.com/post/bidding-for-publishing-services-lower-academic-journal-costs/ proposed model], publishers share bids with publishing institutions which then "select the lowest bidder for their publishing services".
==Crowdfunding==
* ''Description''. The model is for potential projects to be pitched online; the broader community—the “crowd” —may then choose to fund the submitted work with financial donations, which cover production costs. With enough financial backing from the crowd, the project goes into production. Thomas Reinsfelder’s ''[http://dx.doi.org/10.3998/3336451.0018.307 Donations as a Source of Income for Open Access Journals: An Operation to Consider?]'' addresses this model through reader donation as a revenue source for OA journals.
* ''Description''. The model is for potential projects to be pitched online, allowing the broader community or “crowd” to choose to fund them with financial donations. With enough financial backing from the crowd, a project can cover its production costs and be published.
** ''Example''. [http://www.chipin.com/ ChipIn]. Users of ChipIn can raise money for any project by defining the fundraiser's purpose, the desired amount, by when the funds must be raised, and by what method. Details are available [http://www.chipin.com/overview here]. A 2010 [http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2010/feb/16/crowdfunding-author-advances story] in the Guardian discusses blogger [http://www.deannazandt.com/2009/07/13/crowdfunding-n-friendraising-notes-from-the-trenches-of-book-project-support/ Deanna Zandt's] efforts to raise money to support herself while she finished a book project that did not offer her an advance. While this is not a journal model, it is a successful example of a crowdfunded publishing effort.
** ''Example''. [http://www.kickstarter.com/ Kickstarter]. The Kickstarter model involves a pitched project, which receives "all-or-nothing funding...in return for rewards." [http://www.kickstarter.com/discover/categories/periodical?ref=sidebar# Several publishing projects] have been funded successfully.
# ''Variation''. Street performer protocol. The model is one in which the author requests a specific sum be raised before creating a work; private donor funds are pooled to finance this work. Coined by John Kelsey and Bruce Schneier in their June 1999 [http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/673/583 ''First Monday''] article, their “street performer protocol” is a model in which an author promises the delivery of a work for a specific sum; once private donations have filled the author’s goal, then the author creates the promised work, which is OA.
#* ''Example''. [https://copycan.org/ Copycan] (inactive link). Through Copycan, an artist uploads digital content with "the amount of money he would like to have for releasing his work to the commons under a free license"; donors contribute, and if the funding goal is met, then "the artist gets paid, the content gets released and is from then on freely available." This site is now inactive.
# ''Variation''. Article-Level Crowdfunding. Under this [https://knightcenter.utexas.edu/blog/00-18840-brazilians-launch-libre-new-microfinance-technology-journalism proposed model], publishers may provide a paid digital currency (with an associated monetary value) to users on an opt-in basis, which the user may then re-allocate to selected content as a donation.
#* ''Example''. [https://knightcenter.utexas.edu/blog/00-18840-brazilians-launch-libre-new-microfinance-technology-journalism Libre] is a platform that supports the option for users to "register on the Libre platform and select a monthly pre-paid plan" in which "the reader can distribute their Libres between the sites that they frequent" as a donation. Libre is proposed as a "microfinancing technology for journalism".
# ''Variation''. User data contribution. Under this model, a publication may solicit data to access content at no monetary cost to the reader. This model has been [http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/07/we-re-asking-frequent-readers-register-science-s-free-daily-news introduced] in journalistic publications.
#* ''Example''. ''[http://science.sciencemag.org/ Science]'' first [http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/07/we-re-asking-frequent-readers-register-science-s-free-daily-news introduced this model] in June 2017, writing that the journal would solicit data for internal use from readers in a tiered structure. "After you read three stories in a calendar month, we will ask you to enter your email address....After 10 stories in a month we’ll ask you to register and share a couple of other details."

==Hybrid OA journals==
* ''Description''. The model is for a journal to publish some OA articles and some non-OA articles, when the choice between the two is the author's rather than the editor's. Authors who choose the OA option must typically pay a publication fee or find a sponsor to pay a fee (see [http://oad.simmons.edu/oadwiki/OA_journal_business_models#Publication_fees "Publication fees"] below). In return the journal provides immediate OA to the article at its own web site. Authors who don't choose the OA option don't pay a fee, although they might still pay page and color charges. Nor do they get immediate OA, although they might get delayed OA if the journal provides OA to its backfile after a certain embargo period.

# ''Variation''. The OA versions are the same as the versions published in the priced or paywalled journal. (The alternative is to make the OA articles a truncation or abridgment of the TA editions, e.g., without links to references.)
# ''Variation''. The journal insists that the OA editions only appear on its own web site. (The alternative is to allow authors to deposit their OA articles in repositories independent of the publisher.)
# ''Variation''. The journal waives the fee for the OA option in cases of economic hardship or for authors from certain designated developing countries.
#* ''Example''. In [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2007/06/oxford-hybrid-oa-journal-waives-fees.html June 2007], the hybrid [http://www.oxfordjournals.org/our_journals/exbotj/ Journal of Experimental Botany] from [http://www.oup.co.uk/ Oxford University Press] waived publication fees for authors from institutions paying for a subscription. In [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2008/07/oxford-lowers-prices-on-hybrid-oa.html July 2008], Oxford [https://mx2.arl.org/Lists/SPARC-OAForum/Message/4488.html made clear] that all its hybrid [http://www.oxfordjournals.org/oxfordopen/ Oxford Open] journals discounted their publication fees for authors from subscribing institutions.
#* ''Example''. The [http://www.pnas.org/ Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences] (PNAS) offer a [http://www.pnas.org/site/subscriptions/open-access.shtml fee discount] to authors that choose OA who are affiliated with an institution that subscribes to PNAS.

#* For other examples of waiving or discounting publication fees for institutional subscribers, see the section on "[[#Publication fees|publication fees"]] below.
# ''Variation''. The journal charges one fee for OA articles that also appear in the non-OA edition available to subscribers, and a lower fee for OA articles that do not appear in the non-OA edition.
# ''Variation''. The journal refuses to publish work by authors bound by OA mandates (from funders or universities) unless those authors select the OA option and pay the associated fee.
# ''Variation''. The journal rescinds or limits its permission for self-archiving at the same time that it adopts a hybrid OA model, in order to steer authors who want OA away from (no-fee) self-archiving and toward the (fee-based) hybrid option.

==Institutional subsidies==
* ''Description''. The model is for an institution to subsidize an OA journal, in whole or part, directly or indirectly. It may provide cash, facilities, equipment, or personnel. The institution may be of any kind, for example, a university, laboratory, research center, library, learned society, museum, hospital, for-profit corporation, non-profit organization, foundation, or government agency.

#* ''Example''. [http://www.philosophersimprint.org/ Philosophers' Imprint] is edited by philosophy faculty and published by librarians at the [http://umich.edu/ University of Michigan]. Because the university already pays the salaries of these employees, and allows them to give some of their working time to the journal, the journal needn't charge reader-side subscription fees or author-side publication fees.
#* ''Example''. [http://www.thepress.purdue.edu/ Purdue University Press] is the "publishing arm of Purdue University and a unit of Purdue Libraries"; it produces a dozen [http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/thepress/ journals] as of April 2012.

#* ''Examples''. Other universities support fully-OA journals with library budgets, or library IT and staff resources: [[Library published journals]].
# ''Variation: government subsidies''. There are many forms of government subsidies for OA journals: direct grants to OA journals or publishers; grants to researchers which they may use for publication fees or page charges at OA journals; in-house publication of OA journals; tax deductions for non-profit publishers of OA journals; budgetary support for public universities which the institutions may use to publish OA journals, subsidize OA journals, or hire faculty who spend part of their work-time editing OA journals.

==Publication fees==
==Publication fees (APCs)==
* ''Description''. The model is to charge a fee upon acceptance of an article for publication. The idea is for the fee to cover the costs of production, although in practice it might cover more or less. Because rejected articles pay no publication fees (but see "[[#Submission fees|submission fees]]" below), the publication fee must cover the costs of publishing the accepted article plus the cost of reviewing the number of submissions rejected for each accepted submission. Because costs per accepted paper rise with the rejection rate, the fee must rise with the rejection rate. The bill may go to the author, but is often paid by the author's funder or employer rather than by the author out of pocket. Hence this model is sometimes, misleadingly, called the "author pays" or "author fee" model. The fee is sometimes called a "processing fee" or an "article processing charge" (APC).
** Note that a growing number of universities have [[OA journal funds|funds]] to pay these fees on behalf of their faculty.

#** [http://www.mdpi.com/ Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute] charges a flat APC for all journals up to a 30-page maximum, after which an additional per-page charge is levied. [http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc#amount-apc Details] are provided.
#** [http://www.pensoft.net/journals/natureconservation/ Nature Conservation] charges EURO 20.00 per page, with "[a] minimum fee of EURO 200 is fixed for papers smaller than 10 printed pages," with a reduced pricing structure for papers over 100 pages. See details on [http://www.pensoft.net/journals/natureconservation/about/Open%20Access%20Fees#Open Access Fees here].
#** [http://www.opticsexpress.org/ Optics Express] has a tiered structure for publication fees based on article length. See details [http://www.opticsinfobase.org/oe/submit/review/pub_charge.cfm here].
# ''Variation: Fee discounts or waivers for economic hardship''. Some OA journals waive or reduce publication fees in cases of economic hardship. Some do it for all authors from certain, designated developing countries. Some do it on request, no questions asked.
#** [https://www.researchprotocols.org/ JMIR Research Protocols] charges a [http://www.jmir.org/about/editorialPolicies#custom7 varied fee] based on the type of publication; for example, a lower fee for grant proposals and a higher fee for articles and a lower fee for grant proposals.
# ''Variation: Fee discounts for author assistance''. Some OA journals, such as [http://www.hydrology-and-earth-system-sciences.net/submission/service_charges.html Hydrology and Earth Systems Science], reduce their publication fee for authors who submit their manuscripts in a certain file format or who choose to do their own copy-editing.
# ''Variation: Variable fees based on embargo period''. Fee prices are based on the period of embargo; lower fees for OA publications released following an embargo period, and a higher fees for OA publications released with no embargo period (immediate OA).
#* ''Example''. Rockefeller University Press [http://rupress.org/content/publication-fees-and-choices once offered] two publication fee options, including a $2,000 fee for OA publications released following a six month embargo period, and a higher $5,000 fee for OA publications released with no embargo period.
# ''Variation: Fee discounts or waivers for economic hardship''. Some OA journals waive or reduce publication fees in cases of economic hardship. Some do it for all authors from certain, designated developing countries. Some do it on request, no questions asked. For another model that supports fee payment based on author ability, see the “Pay What You Want” variation below.
#* ''Example''. [http://ecancer.org/journal/journal.php ecancermedicalscience] operates under a model which supports fee waiver in connection to the journal's larger "[http://ecancer.org/journal/charges.php pay what you can afford]" model. This example is included in David J Solomon's "[http://dx.doi.org/10.3332/ecancer.2014.ed44 The impact of digital dissemination for research and scholarship]".
#* ''Example''. [http://jmirpublications.com/ JMIR Publications] supports a [http://www.jmir.org/about/editorialPolicies#custom7 waiver policy] for authors without available funds, granted through an application based system.
# ''Variation: Fee discounts for author assistance''. Author assistance may include activities including but not limited to peer review or copy-editing.
#* ''Example''. [http://www.hydrology-and-earth-system-sciences.net/submission/service_charges.html Hydrology and Earth Systems Science], reduce their publication fee for authors who submit their manuscripts in a certain file format or who choose to do their own copy-editing.
#* ''Example''. ''[http://iopscience.iop.org/ The Institute of Physics]'' supports a "[http://iopscience.iop.org/info/page/openaccess#charges referee reward scheme]" under which reviewers may receive a [http://web.archive.org/web/20140325000435/http://aoasg.org.au/the-membership-model-2/ 10% discount] on OA publication costs.
# ''Variation: Fee waivers or discounts, from hybrid OA journals, for authors affiliated with institutions that pay for subscriptions.''
#* ''Example''. [http://www.rsc.org/ Royal Society of Chemistry's] UK-pilot [http://www.rsc.org/publishing/librarians/goldforgold.asp "Gold for Gold"] program uses a voucher code system that "rewards all institutions that subscribe to RSC Gold with voucher codes to make papers available via OA, free of charge." See the program announcement [http://www.rsc.org/AboutUs/News/PressReleases/2012/gold-for-gold-rsc-open-access.asp here] and details [http://www.rsc.org/Publishing/librarians/GoldforGoldFAQs.asp here]. The first article to be published with Gold for Gold is noted [http://blogs.rsc.org/rscpublishing/2012/09/11/gold-for-gold-first-open-access-credit-used-by-university-of-hull/ here].

#* We list other examples under [[#Hybrid OA journals|hybrid OA journals]] above.
# ''Variation: Charging author-side fees while paying author royalties.''
#* ''Example''. [http://www.intechopen.com/ InTech], formerly [http://sciyo.com/ Sciyo], offered author royalties for a short time in 2010. As noted in a [http://www.newswiretoday.com/news/62358/ 2009 Newswire Today article], "Author royalties [based on the number of downloads] will be accredited directly to the author's account...[the] aim of the model is to reward high quality academic work, deemed most useful by the research community." Additional information on InTech's model is available from a Richard Poynder [http://poynder.blogspot.com/2011/10/oa-interviews-intechs-nicola-rylett.html interview] with the company's marketing director, Nicola Rylett.
#* ''Example''. [http://library.queensu.ca/ojs/index.php/IEE/index Ideas in Ecology and Evolution] charges a $200 publication fee if the author uses conventional peer review and a $100 fee if the author uses the "author-directed peer review" system, which "allows authors to make their own arrangements for peer-review of manuscripts". See details [http://library.queensu.ca/ojs/index.php/IEE/about/submissions#authorFees here].
#* ''Example'': [http://www.opticsexpress.org/ Optics Express] charges a general publication fee and charges extra for copy editing, if needed.
#* ''Example'': [https://games.jmir.org/ JMIR Serious Games] offers an "optional [http://www.jmir.org/about/editorialPolicies#custom7 fast-track fee] of US$450 if the author requires a decision within 3 weeks", in addition to an existing article processing charge.
#* ''Example'': [https://www.medicine20.com/ Medicine 2.0] published by [http://jmirpublications.com/ JMIR Publications] offers a [http://www.jmir.org/about/editorialPolicies#custom7 priced copyediting option], while otherwise charging no article processing fee.
# ''Variation: Institutional memberships''. Some OA journals and publishers offer institutional memberships. The chief benefit of membership is that the journal waives or reduces publication fees for authors affiliated with member-institutions. Some charge a flat fee for membership. Some charge an amount linked to the number of articles published in the journal by the institution's employees. The more journals offered by a publisher (or more precisely, the more journals where institutional employees are likely to publish), the more valuable the membership is for members. In that sense, institutional membership are another way in which large publishers can benefit from economies of scale.
#* ''Examples: Institutional memberships'':
#* ''Example'': [http://www.biomedcentral.com/ BioMed Central]. See the BMC page on its [http://old.biomedcentral.com/libraries/membership membership program].
#** [http://www.biomedcentral.com/ BioMed Central]. See the BMC page on its [http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/libraries/membership membership program].

# ''Variation: Consortial Institutional Memberships'': Some publishers form a membership-based consortium to support the publication of OA journals through the [http://insights.uksg.org/articles/10.1629/uksg.166/ payment of membership dues].
#* ''Example''. The [https://about.openlibhums.org/ Open Library of the Humanities (OLH)] follows a [https://about.openlibhums.org/2014/04/07/library-partnership-subsidies-lps/ Library Partnership Subsidies (LPS)] model, in which a consortium of libraries support the cost of publication, at no cost to the author. This model provides economies of scale in which the cost to individual members is a function of the number of members. This model is discussed by Adam Smith in [https://ec.europa.eu/futurium/en/system/files/ged/oa_report.pdf Alternative Open Access Publishing Models: Exploring New Territories in Scholarly Communication], and by Martin Paul Eve in [http://insights.uksg.org/articles/10.1629/uksg.166/ Co-operating for gold open access without APCs] and [http://doi.org/10.7710/2162-3309.1131 All That Glisters: Investigating Collective Funding Mechanisms for Gold Open Access in Humanities Disciplines]. For more on this example, see items tagged with ''[https://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/oa.open_library_humanities oa.open_library_humanities]'' as part of the [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Open_Access_Tracking_Project Open Access Tracking Project].
# ''Variation: Author memberships''. The author membership model supports the option to publish a set number of publications within the duration of the membership period, as supported by membership dues paid by or on behalf of the author.
#* ''Example'': [https://peerj.com/ PeerJ] supports author-side tiered lifetime [https://peerj.com/pricing/#apc-membership-pricing membership plans] in addition to APC based pricing models. Within this structure, each membership tier supports a specified number of publications within the 12 month membership period with the expectation of community review contribution. This example is referenced as an example in David J Solomon’s “[http://dx.doi.org/10.3332/ecancer.2014.ed44 The impact of digital dissemination for research and scholarship]”.
# ''Variation: Institutional arrangements without memberships''. Some OA publishers strike individual deals with individual institutions.
#* ''Example''. In [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2008/01/max-planck-society-will-pay-gold-oa.html January 2008], the Max Planck Society [http://www.mpg.de/english/illustrationsDocumentation/documentation/pressReleases/2008/pressRelease20080128/genPDF.pdf agreed to pay] the publication fees for MPS authors when they publish in any of the (then 17) OA journals from [http://www.copernicus.org/ Copernicus Publications].
#* ''[http://web.archive.org/web/20140325000435/http://aoasg.org.au/the-membership-model-2/ Example]''. ''[http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1367-2630 New Journal of Physics]'' supports [http://iopscience.iop.org/journal/1367-2630/page/Article%20charge individual arrangements] with institutions centered around payment or waiver based plans.
# ''Variation: Fee-based OA for some topics, no-fee OA for other topics''.
#* ''Example''. [http://epljournal.edpsciences.org/ Europhysics Letters] [http://www.iop.org/EJ/journal/EPL announced] such a policy in [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2008/11/anticipating-scoap3-epl-converts-to-no.html November 2008].
# ''Variation: Alternate compensation for access''.
#* ''Example''. [http://www.congoo.com/ Congoo] is a "premium content search engine that is useful to both users and publishers". The model requires users to register; Congoo then "provides users with controlled and measurable access into premium content" from participating publishers, which would otherwise be toll access, while ensuring publishers "maintain full control over their valuable content." In exchange for providing a limited amount of their content OA through Congoo's search service, publishers receive users' registration information from Congoo. Details of the benefits to publishers are provided [http://www.congoo.com/publishers here], and related commentary may be found in a 2005 [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2005_12_25_fosblogarchive.html#113587416837785527 Open Access Newsletter update] and Antone Gonsalves's InformationWeek [http://www.informationweek.com/news/175700596 article].

#* ''Example''. [http://www.thieme.com/books-main/plastic-surgery/product/2208-the-surgery-journal The Surgery Journal (TSJ)] follows this model, [https://www.thieme.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=881:thieme-to-launch-new-pay-what-you-want-open-access-journal-this-spring&catid=82:2015&Itemid=91 outlining], “Following acceptance of a paper after peer review, authors will be given the opportunity to pay an APC fee that they feel is most suitable (Pay What You Want - PWYW).”. In an experiment into the economics of this model conducted by the journal, "[https://cacm.acm.org/opinion/articles/222177-pay-what-you-want-as-a-pricing-model-for-open-access-publishing/fulltext authors of 27 papers] made their payment decisions with a mean payment of $480 across conditions", after being presented with a "recommended" fee.
#* ''Example''. [http://www.thieme.com/books-main/plastic-surgery/product/2208-the-surgery-journal The Surgery Journal (TSJ)] follows this model, [https://www.thieme.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=881:thieme-to-launch-new-pay-what-you-want-open-access-journal-this-spring&catid=82:2015&Itemid=91 outlining], “Following acceptance of a paper after peer review, authors will be given the opportunity to pay an APC fee that they feel is most suitable (Pay What You Want - PWYW).”.

[http://www.regenmedres-journal.org/news/253-edp-sciences-now-publishing-regenerative-medicine-research-june-2016 Regenerative Medicine Research] supports this model as part of [http://publications.edpsciences.org/ EDP Sciences], under "EDP’s Liberty APC model for article processing charges, where authors can choose their own fair price to publish a paper in Open Access including an amount of 0€." as outlined in the journal's [http://www.regenmedres-journal.org/news/253-edp-sciences-now-publishing-regenerative-medicine-research-june-2016 announced shift] to this model.
#* ''Example''. [https://www.cogentoa.com/ Cogent OA] is a publisher of OA journals supporting this model under a “Pay what you can” structure, writing, “Our 'Freedom Article Publishing Charges' allow you to select the article publishing charge contribution you can afford.”.
#* ''Example''. [http://ecancer.org/journal/journal.php ecancermedicalscience] supports this model, [http://ecancer.org/journal/charges.php outlining] "ecancermedicalscience publishes using a "pay what you can afford" model. If you have funding to publish your work in an open access journal, you will be asked to transfer it to ecancer (up to £1000). If you do not have access to this funding, you do not have to pay a fee.". ''[http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/leap.1023/full Sustainability in open access publishing: The ecancer case study]'' by Katie Foxall and Audrey Nailor provides a case study of this example.

# ''Variation: Offsetting''. An institution's subscription payment for a hybrid journal includes (or "offsets") APCs for a certain number of OA articles in that journal by authors from that institution.
#* For more discussion, analysis, and examples, see the [http://tagteam.harvard.edu/hubs/oatp/tag/oa.offsets items tagged with ''oa.offsets''] in the [https://cyber.harvard.edu/hoap/Open_Access_Tracking_Project Open Access Tracking Project].
#* ''Example''. [http://ecsdl.org/ The Electrochemical Society] (ECS)'s [http://ecsdl.org/site/misc/ecs_plus.xhtml ECS Plus] program supports "article credits for authors from subscribing institutions, enabling affiliated authors to publish their articles as open access (OA) in ECS journals free of charge".
# ''Variation: Integrated costs''. Some OA journals recover their costs by building them in to the costs of other activities such as conference registration.
#* ''Example''. [http://www.rce.feaa.ugal.ro/index.php/information-for-authors Risk in Contemporary Economy] supports the publication of conference proceedings, and uses the conference registration fee to cover the costs. Also see the [https://sustainingknowledgecommons.org/2017/02/21/various-apc-models-the-case-of-conference-proceedings/ other examples] identified by Victoria Volkanova and Heather Morrison.
==Submission fees==
* ''Description''. The model is to charge a fee for evaluating a submitted paper, whether or not the paper is later accepted. A submission fee may be in addition to a publication fee (see "[[#Publication fees|publication fees]]" above). Submission fees can reduce publication fees at journals with high rejection rates.

** ''Example''. [http://www.jci.org/ Journal of Clinical Investigation] charges a $75 submission fee, in addition to publication fees. Details are available [http://www.jci.org/kiosk/publish here].
==Temporary OA==
* ''Description''. The model is for a publisher to offer free online access to a work for a restricted period, after which the work becomes toll access. The OA period may occur just once or periodically. Note: this is not "pure" OA, but represents a particular model that has been used by some publishers to experiment with OA.
* ''Description''. The model is for a publisher to offer free online access to a work for a restricted period, after which the work moves behind a paywall. The OA period may occur just once or periodically. Note: this is not "pure" OA, but represents a particular model that has been used by some publishers to experiment with OA.
** ''Example''. [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/ Emerald] has several limited-time gratis OA programs.
*** [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/new_launch/index.htm "New launch" journals]: three new journals are featured OA for two months, after which time they become TA and three new "free access" journals are swapped in.
*** Special events: [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/about/news/story.htm?id=3234 Earth Day], [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/about/news/story.htm?id=3684 Global Entrepreneurship Week], and [http://www.emeraldinsight.com/about/news/story.htm?id=3077 International Women's Day] are examples of very short-term temporary OA linking select Emerald content with international days of awareness or celebration.
** ''Example''. [http://www.ala.org/lita/ital/ Information Technology and Libraries] (ITAL) provided OA to their forthcoming articles; these [http://www.ala.org/lita/ital/prepub preprints] were the final versions of works in press, and as such were neither copy edited nor formatted. Once the article appeared in print, then the work was no longer OA. However, as of [http://www.ala.org/lita/ital/ January 2012], ITAL "is adopting an open-access, e-only publishing model"; back issues of the journal and the preprints will become OA as time and funding allows.
==Third-party licensing==
* ''Description''. Under [http://web.archive.org/web/20130610154030/http://www.sparc.arl.org/publisher/incomemodels/guide3_4.shtml this model], “Open-access publishers that control significant bodies of content may be able to generate additional revenue by licensing content to third-party information aggregators and distributors.” Within this structure, OA publications may remain open while establishing independent licensing terms with an outside party.
==Value-added services==
* ''Description''. This model offers added services and features on top of OA content, available for an opt-in subscription by the reader. A range of services is possible, for example, article alert services and site customization (from Raym Crow's 2009 "Income models for open access: An overview of current practice"; see [http://www.arl.org/sparc/publisher/incomemodels/guide3_5.shtml here]).

==Volunteer effort==
* ''Description''. The model is to use unpaid volunteers for some of the work in producing the journal. All scholarly journals (OA and non-OA) use volunteers to some extent, as authors, referees, and/or some kinds of editors.
** ''Note''. When a volunteer has a salary from another organization, and is allowed by that organization to spend some professional time on the journal, then the institution is directly or indirectly subsidizing the journal. (See "Institutional subsidies" above.) When the journal work is an overload, then the volunteer's employer is not subsidizing the journal. However, because it is often difficult to tell whether work is an overload (inside or outside a job description), it is often difficult to distinguish volunteer effort from institutional subsidy.

All of the work is done by volunteers - 20 librarians from different institutions living in different parts of the country. All work processes are based on teleworking.

If an example is dated (a given journal no longer uses a given model), please just change the verbs to the past tense. Don't delete the example. The list should track what models are now in use and what models were once tried.
Under this model, web based advertising revenue is generally based on either the number of website users that may view the advertisement or the number of website users that interact with the advertisement (CPM versus CPA).
For more information and examples, see Open Access Tracking Project tag oa.ads.
Example. British Medical Journal (BMJ) uses advertising as part of its "unique mixed revenue model", which includes "subscriptions, online advertising, reprints and publishing fees paid by research article authors” as summarized in report Alternative Open Access Publishing Models: Exploring New Territories in Scholarly Communication.
Variation. A journal can use advertising services like Google AdSense, which place ads on pages based on an algorithmic reading of their content. These services require no marketing staff. Because the journal doesn't know in advance what ads will be placed, this method can answer suspicions that advertising compromises editorial integrity.

Description. The model is for publishers to bid on articles to publish. The bid is in academic dollars, not actual currency or legal tender. The academic dollars would be shared with the authors, editors, and publishers of the works cited by the article.
Example. The model was first proposed by David Zetland a 2004 preprint (inactive link), and then in a 2007 discussion paper and subsequent 2010 Public Choice article with Jens Prüfer. It works as follows (quoting Prüfer and Zetland): "In the AMJA [Auction Model for Journal Articles], authors write papers, market them to editors, and post them for auction. Editors bid Academic Dollars (A$) for papers and assign "purchases" to referees. Referees put in effort to review and improve —not reject— papers. Readers read and cite articles (published papers) in their own work. When the papers of those readers (now authors) are later auctioned, A$ are redistributed to authors, editors and referees of cited articles as a reward for quality." While the Public Choice article does not mention this model's potential benefit for being a self-sustaining OA business model, a 2004 blog post by Alex Tabarrok suggests the way in which an auction model could sustainably support an OA journal.
Variation. Monetary bidding. Under this proposed model, publishers share bids with publishing institutions which then "select the lowest bidder for their publishing services".
Description. The model is for potential projects to be pitched online, allowing the broader community or “crowd” to choose to fund them with financial donations. With enough financial backing from the crowd, a project can cover its production costs and be published.
Variation. Article-Level Crowdfunding. Under this proposed model, publishers may provide a paid digital currency (with an associated monetary value) to users on an opt-in basis, which the user may then re-allocate to selected content as a donation.
Example. Libre is a platform that supports the option for users to "register on the Libre platform and select a monthly pre-paid plan" in which "the reader can distribute their Libres between the sites that they frequent" as a donation. Libre is proposed as a "microfinancing technology for journalism".
Variation. User data contribution. Under this model, a publication may solicit data to access content at no monetary cost to the reader. This model has been introduced in journalistic publications.
Example. Science first introduced this model in June 2017, writing that the journal would solicit data for internal use from readers in a tiered structure. "After you read three stories in a calendar month, we will ask you to enter your email address....After 10 stories in a month we’ll ask you to register and share a couple of other details."
Description. The model is for an OA journal to offer branded products for sale, either internally or through an external vendor.
Description. The model is for an OA publication to build an endowment of third-party contributions to support its production costs. Endowments may be developed through fundraising campaigns in addition to other approaches.
Example. The Electrochemical Society announced a strategy in 2016 to produce OA publications with no author-side publication fees with the support of an endowment initiative.
Example. Internet Archaeology journal and the Archaeology Data Service manage the Open Access Archaeology Fund to fund the "publishing and archiving costs of researchers who have no means of institutional support", based on the solicitation of "recurring or single gift(s)" in exchange for physical objects based on the level of contribution, starting in 2016.
Description. The model is to solicit donations from individuals or institutions, periodically or continuously.
Note. A 2014 survey of English language journals based in the USA included in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) found that 4.8% of surveyed journals solicited reader donation.
Example. Pennsylvania Libraries: Research & Practice solicits donations through the journal website, using a dedicated "Support PaLRaP" button on the journal homepage.
This section is for journals that charge publication fees and provide OA to some articles and not others. For journals that charge publication fees and provide OA to all their articles, see the section on "Publication fees" below. For more information on Hybrid OA, see Open Access Tracking Project tag oa.hybrid.
Variation. The OA versions are the same as the versions published in the priced or paywalled journal. (The alternative is to make the OA articles a truncation or abridgment of the TA editions, e.g., without links to references.)
Example. The American Chemical Society (ACS) "offer[s] a discounted price on article processing charges for authors at subscribing institutions and a further discount for ACS members".
Variation. The journal has a standard embargo period for its OA articles, even those for which a fee is paid.
Example. SPIE offers fee-based hybrid OA for most of it journals, that is, it charges a flat publication fee to authors and provides immediate OA their work; however, with the Journal of Biomedical Optics, SPIE charges a publication fee and provides OA after a one-year embargo. Also note that SPIE's publications charges for non-OA works are voluntary. Details are available here.
Description. The model is for an institution to subsidize an OA journal, in whole or part, directly or indirectly. It may provide cash, facilities, equipment, or personnel on a one-time or continuing basis. The institution may be of any kind, for example, a university, laboratory, research center, library, learned society, museum, hospital, for-profit corporation, non-profit organization, foundation, or government agency.
Note. For institutional subsidies which include non-monetary support, recommended practices for "in-kind contributions" suggest appraising the value of services provided.
Variation: university subsidies. There are many forms of university subsidies for OA journals: in-house publication of OA journals; funds to pay publication fees at fee-based OA journals; and provision of facilities, equipment, or personnel. (Note that many of these subsidies are also enjoyed by non-OA journals.)
Example. The Lethbridge Journal Incubator hosted by University of Lethbridge proposes a model described as a “Method of funding Open Access publication of humanities journal by aligning production with the research and teaching methods of the University.”.
Examples. Other universities support fully-OA journals with library budgets, or library IT and staff resources: Library published journals.
Example. SciELO, which publishes OA journals, is funded by Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico or CNPq, in the Brazilian federal government, and by Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo or FAPESP, in the Brazilian State of São Paulo. The full SciELO network throughout Latin America and the Caribbean publishes 550 OA journals (as of 7/13/08). This example is outlined in report Alternative Open Access Publishing Models: Exploring New Territories in Scholarly Communication by Adam Smith.
Variation: foundation subsidies. Under this model, journals are supported in whole or in part by one or more charitable foundations.
Example. Health Equity, published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., was launched in 2016 with the support of a grant provided by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Example. In February 2015, The Research Council of Norway announced “The STIM-OA scheme will facilitate the transition to open access publication. Research institutions may be reimbursed for up to half of their outlay for publication in open access journals.”. In 2013, the Research Council of Norway began their support in this area by funding 40 open access journals.
Variation: corporate subsidies. Under this model, corporate entities may support a journal with resources contributed on a one-time or continued basis.
Variation: consortial subsidies. This model overlaps with the categories above (university, government, foundation, and corporate subsidies). What's notable is that an OA resource can build a customized or ad hoc coalition of supporting organizations. Under this model, the cost to each supporting institution may decrease with the growth of the consortium.
Example. eLife is supported by a group of foundations including the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Max Planck Society, and the Wellcome Trust. Initially eLife did not charge publication fees, but adopted them at a later stage in January, 2017. David Solomon discusses this example “The impact of digital dissemination for research and scholarship”.
Example. SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics) is a global partnership of 44 countries and 3 intergovernmental organizations, representing 3000+ libraries, universities and research institutes. SCOAP3 has transitioned key journals in the field of High Energy Physics to Gold OA. In addition born Gold OA journals are also supported. It eliminates the financial constraints for authors, by centrally paying publishers for peer-review and publishing services. The consortium is predominantly financed by participating libraries redirecting funds previously used for subscribing to the SCOAP3 journals. All authors can publish OA at no cost in the participating journals. Alternative Open Access Publishing Models: Exploring New Territories in Scholarly Communication by Adam Smith discusses the progress of SCOAP3, adding, "In its first two years of operation, started in January 2014, the project has supported publication of about 9,000 articles in 10 participating journals." A summary of the model supported by SCOAP3 is included in "The impact of digital dissemination for research and scholarship" by David J Solomon.
Example. The Open Access Network (OAN) follows a consortial model of “committed individuals, organizations, societies, publishers, libraries, and institutions”, supplemented by external “seed funding".
Example. The Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development proposes a “Community Supported Journal” model based on converting licenses held by institutions into “OA Sponsor Shares” with added benefits for shareholders, as supplemented by revenue streams including submission fees, publication fees, and donation.
Example. Revistas Científicas del CSIS is a Spanish state supported consortium of “131 research institutes and centres and 160 associated units in universities and other research institutions” publishing OA journals and books at no cost to the author.
Example. LingOA supports linguistics journals in conversion to an OA model, under which “LingOA pays for the APCs in the first 5 years, then payments are taken over by the Open Library of Humanities. Three journals have already joined LingOA with their complete editorial boards and editorial teams: Laboratory Phonology, The Journal of Portuguese Linguistics, and Glossa (formerly known as Lingua (Elsevier)).”. LingOA is supported by a network of universities based in the Netherlands.
Example. SciELO is a network of Latin American OA journals operating under a single publishing program supported by a regional institutional consortium. As of December 2015, “The platform includes 15 national journal collections, around 1,100 active journals in total, and over half a million articles.”.
Example. The German Academic Publishers Project (GAP) is "a cooperative consortium of academic presses, scholarly societies, universities, academic departments, and even individuals" supporting operations associated with the publication process.
Example. The journal.fi platform hosts over 50 journals. It's hosted by TSV (Federation of Finnish learned societies), which as of 2018 is in talks to absorb all society journals previously published by legacy publishers.
Variation: Use-Triggered Fees. “A use-triggered fee model supports open-access publication by imposing usage fees on a voluntary basis,” in which access to publications is centered around the payment of non-mandatory fees solicited from user institutions that have met a specified usage quota, omitting institutions based in developing countries. Approaches to implementing this model may include coordinating a "voluntary license" between institution and publisher.
Variation: Sponsorship. Under this model, institutional sponsors may "subsidize some or all of a journal’s operating expenses in exchange for recognition." While sponsorship is primarily connected to institutions under this model, sponsorships may also be supported by individuals.
Note. Proposed standards for practice under this model include adopting a sponsorship policy, guidelines for sponsor credit, and carefully assessing proposed sponsor relationships.
Example. Paleontologica Electronica recognizes journal sponsors and contributors on the journal website home page, and link to sponsor websites in journal site navigation.
For potential examples, see the 425 learned societies publishing OA journals identified by Peter Suber and Caroline Sutton 2007, the 530 societies publishing OA journals they identified in 2011, or the 1,033 societies publishing 1,000 full (non-hybrid) OA journals identified by the Suber, Sutton, and Amanda Page in 2015. We say "potential" examples because this research doesn't (yet) say what fraction of a journal's expenses are covered by membership dues, as opposed to other revenue sources such as article processing charges.
Description. The model is for a journal to provide OA to one edition and sell access to another edition. The OA edition should contain the full text and other information (charts, illustrations, links, etc.), but the priced edition may appear earlier in time or include extra features, such as print. Priced editions may also offer file formats that some users prefer, for example, “High quality PDFs instead of low-quality or HTML”.
Example: Journal of Medical Internet Research: Offers an OA edition in HTML and priced memberships (institutional or individual) that include a PDF edition and conference discounts for individual memberships.
For an overview of this business model and added commentary see Peter Suber’s “Abridgment as added value”, originally published as part of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter in September 2009.
Publication fees (APCs)
Note that a growing number of institutions have funds to pay these fees on behalf of their faculty.
This section is for journals which charge publication fees and provide OA to all their articles. For journals which charge publication fees and provide OA to some articles and not others, see the section on hybrid journals above.
See Peter Suber's 2006 article reviewing early evidence that a minority of OA journals and a majority of non-OA journals charged publication fees. Raym Crow's 2009 study found that "almost half" of OA journals charged publication fees. Stuart Shieber's May 2009 survey of the DOAJ found that only 30% charged publication fees.
JMIR Publications charges a flat rate article processing fee for publication in select journals, including JMIR Medical Informatics, Interactive Journal of Medical Research, JMIR Mental Health, and JMIR Cancer.
Variation: Variable fees. Fee size depends on article length or type of publication.
JMIR Research Protocols charges a varied fee based on the type of publication; for example, a lower fee for grant proposals and a higher fee for articles and a lower fee for grant proposals.
Variation: Variable fees based on embargo period. Fee prices are based on the period of embargo; lower fees for OA publications released following an embargo period, and a higher fees for OA publications released with no embargo period (immediate OA).
Example. Rockefeller University Press once offered two publication fee options, including a $2,000 fee for OA publications released following a six month embargo period, and a higher $5,000 fee for OA publications released with no embargo period.
Variation: Fee discounts or waivers for economic hardship. Some OA journals waive or reduce publication fees in cases of economic hardship. Some do it for all authors from certain, designated developing countries. Some do it on request, no questions asked. For another model that supports fee payment based on author ability, see the “Pay What You Want” variation below.
Example. ecancermedicalscience operates under a model which supports fee waiver in connection to the journal's larger "pay what you can afford" model. This example is included in David J Solomon's "The impact of digital dissemination for research and scholarship".
Example. JMIR Publications supports a waiver policy for authors without available funds, granted through an application based system.
Variation: Fee discounts for author assistance. Author assistance may include activities including but not limited to peer review or copy-editing.
Example. Hydrology and Earth Systems Science, reduce their publication fee for authors who submit their manuscripts in a certain file format or who choose to do their own copy-editing.
Example. The Institute of Physics supports a "referee reward scheme" under which reviewers may receive a 10% discount on OA publication costs.
We list other examples under hybrid OA journals above.
Example: JMIR Serious Games offers an "optional fast-track fee of US$450 if the author requires a decision within 3 weeks", in addition to an existing article processing charge.
Example: Medicine 2.0 published by JMIR Publications offers a priced copyediting option, while otherwise charging no article processing fee.
Example: BioMed Central. See the BMC page on its membership program.
Example: Hindawi. See the Hindawi page on its membership program.
Example: Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR). See the JMIR page on its membership program.
Example: Public Library of Science. See the PLoS page on its membership program.
Example: Wiley Open Access supports two institutional account tracks including the Wiley Open Access Partners Fee (a discount plan) and the Wiley Open Access Account (an APC payment plan).
Example: The Royal Society Open Access Membership supports APC discount and prepayment options.
Example: New Journal of Physics supports an program for Associate Members which receive a 5% discount on APC costs.
Variation: Consortial Institutional Memberships: Some publishers form a membership-based consortium to support the publication of OA journals through the payment of membership dues.
Example. The Open Library of the Humanities (OLH) follows a Library Partnership Subsidies (LPS) model, in which a consortium of libraries support the cost of publication, at no cost to the author. This model provides economies of scale in which the cost to individual members is a function of the number of members. This model is discussed by Adam Smith in Alternative Open Access Publishing Models: Exploring New Territories in Scholarly Communication, and by Martin Paul Eve in Co-operating for gold open access without APCs and All That Glisters: Investigating Collective Funding Mechanisms for Gold Open Access in Humanities Disciplines. For more on this example, see items tagged with oa.open_library_humanities as part of the Open Access Tracking Project.
Variation: Author memberships. The author membership model supports the option to publish a set number of publications within the duration of the membership period, as supported by membership dues paid by or on behalf of the author.
Example: PeerJ supports author-side tiered lifetime membership plans in addition to APC based pricing models. Within this structure, each membership tier supports a specified number of publications within the 12 month membership period with the expectation of community review contribution. This example is referenced as an example in David J Solomon’s “The impact of digital dissemination for research and scholarship”.
Example. New Journal of Physics supports individual arrangements with institutions centered around payment or waiver based plans.
Variation: “Pay What You Want”. The size of the publication fee is up to the author.
Example. The Surgery Journal (TSJ) follows this model, outlining, “Following acceptance of a paper after peer review, authors will be given the opportunity to pay an APC fee that they feel is most suitable (Pay What You Want - PWYW).”. In an experiment into the economics of this model conducted by the journal, "authors of 27 papers made their payment decisions with a mean payment of $480 across conditions", after being presented with a "recommended" fee.
Example. Regenerative Medicine Research supports this model as part of EDP Sciences, under "EDP’s Liberty APC model for article processing charges, where authors can choose their own fair price to publish a paper in Open Access including an amount of 0€." as outlined in the journal's announced shift to this model.
Example. Cogent OA is a publisher of OA journals supporting this model under a “Pay what you can” structure, writing, “Our 'Freedom Article Publishing Charges' allow you to select the article publishing charge contribution you can afford.”.
Example. ecancermedicalscience supports this model, outlining "ecancermedicalscience publishes using a "pay what you can afford" model. If you have funding to publish your work in an open access journal, you will be asked to transfer it to ecancer (up to £1000). If you do not have access to this funding, you do not have to pay a fee.". Sustainability in open access publishing: The ecancer case study by Katie Foxall and Audrey Nailor provides a case study of this example.
Example. In July 2017, Thieme Publishers launched TH Open with a "PWYW (pay what you want)" model.
Variation: Offsetting. An institution's subscription payment for a hybrid journal includes (or "offsets") APCs for a certain number of OA articles in that journal by authors from that institution.
For more discussion, analysis, and examples, see the items tagged with oa.offsets in the Open Access Tracking Project.
Example. The Electrochemical Society (ECS)'s ECS Plus program supports "article credits for authors from subscribing institutions, enabling affiliated authors to publish their articles as open access (OA) in ECS journals free of charge".
Variation: Integrated costs. Some OA journals recover their costs by building them in to the costs of other activities such as conference registration.
Example. Risk in Contemporary Economy supports the publication of conference proceedings, and uses the conference registration fee to cover the costs. Also see the other examples identified by Victoria Volkanova and Heather Morrison.
Description. The model is for a publisher to offer free online access to a work for a restricted period, after which the work moves behind a paywall. The OA period may occur just once or periodically. Note: this is not "pure" OA, but represents a particular model that has been used by some publishers to experiment with OA.
Third-party licensing
Description. Under this model, “Open-access publishers that control significant bodies of content may be able to generate additional revenue by licensing content to third-party information aggregators and distributors.” Within this structure, OA publications may remain open while establishing independent licensing terms with an outside party.
Description. This model offers added services and features on top of OA content, available for an opt-in subscription by the reader. A range of services is possible, such as print-on-demand, or alert services and site customization.
Example. Open Edition, a humanities and social sciences portal, includes work from OpenEdition Books, Revues.org, Hypotheses, and Calenda. The work is available OA, but institutions may buy a subscription to Open Edition to receive six value-added services, including "unlimited, DRM-free download access to PDF, ePub files of the articles of the 90 journals which have adopted the OpenEdition Freemium model", technical support, customized alerts, COUNTER statistics on use, and participation in the user committee working group. See details of the model, and a 2011 article "Freemium as a Sustainable Economic Model for Open Access Electronic Publishing in Humanities and Social Sciences" on OpenEdition's freemium model by Pierre Mounier, OA through ELPUB. Report Alternative Open Access Publishing Models: Exploring New Territories in Scholarly Communication adds, "The platform hosts 137 journals and 50 book publishers, with more than 110 subscribing libraries.”.
Example. OECD Publishing supports open access to published content in combination with additional priced features such as annotation tools and download functionality, available through subscription. This model is outlined in Richard Padley’s “Freemium and the forever business: payment models in scholarly publishing” and in presentation Freemium Open Access Publishing - better than Green or Gold? by Toby Green, Head of Publishing at OECD.

Port St. Lucie is a city in St. Lucie County, Florida, United States. It is the most populous municipality in the county with a population of 164,603 at the 2010 census due to its rapid growth during the 2000s. It is located 125 miles (201 km) southeast of Orlando. In 2019, the United States Census Bureau estimated the city's population at 201,846. The Port St. Lucie Metropolitan Area includes the counties of St. Lucie and Martin and as of 2016 had an estimated population of 465,208. Port St. Lucie is also contained within the Miami - Fort Lauderdale - Port St. Lucie Combined Statistical Area with an estimated population of 6,832,588.
Port St. Lucie was a largely uninhabited tract of land south of White City in the 1950s, composed of a fishing camp, a few farms and businesses near U.S. 1. In 1958, with a budget of $5, the General Development Corporation (GDC) purchased the River Park development and 40,000 acres (160 km2) along the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. In 1959, the GDC opened its first bridge over the St. Lucie River, allowing for direct automobile access to Port St. Lucie.
By February 25, 1961 there were 250 homes in the new city. GDC requested the state legislature to incorporate 70 miles (110 km), along with the River Park settlement, into the City of Port St. Lucie. River Park did not incorporate into the city at the request of its residents. Port St. Lucie became a city on April 27, 1961 with the passage of House Bill No. 953, proposed by State Representative Rupert Smith and approved by Florida Governor C. Farris Bryant.
In the early 1990s, Core Communities (CC), acquired and began planning what would become St. Lucie West. Originally, St. Lucie West was to have contained about 14,000 homes over a 20-year period on 7 square miles (18 km2). But after realizing the community's strategic position, they began developing it into more than just a residential area. CC began building business sectors and places of entertainment and leisure. That resulted in 7,000 jobs being brought to the small town, helping it into its boom during most of the early 2000s.
In 2006, CC started development of its newest community, Tradition. The community, which sits west of the Interstate 95 interchange with Gatlin Blvd., was a large cattle ranch before CC began to develop it. There they built around 13,000,000 square feet (1,200,000 m2) of commercial area, and room for over 18,000 residences. According to CC's website, Tradition is the largest fully entitled residential development area from the tip of Interstate 95 to the Canada�U.S. border. It is modeled after a 1950s-era town. According to its website, Tradition Square, the town center of the community, holds festivities year-round. It was also chosen as the site of HGTV's Green Home 2009, and one of America's best 100 communities.
In 2007, the housing market began to collapse and unemployment started to rise. As of February 2009, unemployment was at 10? percent and in 2008, nearly 11,000 homes went into foreclosure. This prompted the county government to consider declaring itself a disaster area. Doing so would have given county administrators access to $17 million in county emergency reserve funds. That money, combined with a transportation fund and other accounts, would give St. Lucie $20 � $30 million to spend on building projects: research parks, highways and other infrastructure improvements.
In 2008, Tradition and Core Communities welcomed the Florida Center of Innovation (later renamed Tradition Center for Innovation), a 150-acre privately-owned research park dedicated to drug discovery, immunology and medical devices, and healthcare. TCI initially composed of Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, Oregon Health and Science University�s Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute (VGTI), Martin Health System Hospital (Tradition Medical Center), and Mann Research Center. In 2015, VGTI shut down their TCI facility, and Mann Research Center soon followed. As of 2019, only Torrey Pines and Tradition Medical Center remain in TCI.
In 2017, TAMCO, a subsidiary of City Electric Supply, a family-owned electrical wholesale business, created plans with the Port St. Lucie City Council to construct a $38 million, 400,000 square foot manufacturing and distribution center located in the Tradition Commerce Park. Construction of the TAMCO facility began in 2018 and was completed in late 2019.

Its route through the city extends from the Martin/St. Lucie County line to the south to Midway Road at the northern limits of the city. This stretch of US 1 contains mostly strip malls and shopping centers.

Zkittlez Auto is a feminized cannabis strain that has very high THC content. It has a strong candy flavor and a refreshing scent. The plant is compact with multiple bud sites with the main cola growing vertically and producing several lateral branches on the side. Zkittlez flowers naturally within 9-10 weeks of planting before proceeding to produce large frost-white buds. Zkittlez Auto has sufficient spacing between nodes to allow for proper aeration and is highly resistant to pests and diseases. This plant is versatile and responds well to light training methods for maximum production. It is a sturdy cannabis strain that is ideal for beginners who want to try their hand in cannabis farming. Zkittlez Auto is also great for commercial projects because it yields up to 500g/m2 with proper care. For the best results, always support Zkittlez Auto plants with a cable to help them stand firm during the maturity stage when bugs bulge and start to ripen. Zkittlez requires proper spacing to stimulate optimal flowering and ripening of the buds. It is a heavy feeder that requires adequate fertilization to fulfill its immense potential. Zkittlez Auto gives an immediate high that dissipates gradually, causing relaxation that may last for up to 3 hours. The Indica high from this weed is not overwhelming and enables you to suppress stressors and anxiety without losing focus. The Zkittlez Auto strain is great for midday or night time puffs and is suitable for both novices and hardcore stoners. When used as an additive, it gives a grapefruit taste with hints of chocolate.
Gorilla Glue #4 Autoflowering Feminized Seeds
If you're searching for an easy to grow, high-THC cannabis strain that will dazzle even the most discerning herb- lovers, look no further than award-winning Gorilla Glue #4. Also known as Original Glue, Gorilla Glue #4 took 1st place in both the 2014 Michigan and LA Cannabis Cups and earned the top prize in the prestigious High Times Jamaican World Cup. True to its name, Gorilla Glue #4 plants produce giant colas of sticky buds with furry orange pistils. The expert breeders at GG strains combined three classic cultivars to create a sativa-dominant hybrid that's mold-resistant and ultra high-yielding. Gorilla Glue #4's dense flowers impart a sweet, earthy flavor with hints of citrus and a pungent diesel aroma. You'll want to make sure to install a good filter and keep an extra pair of trimming sheers handy when you cultivate these gooey, fragrant buds. Autoflowering Gorilla Glue #4 seeds allow growers to cultivate several harvests in one season. With perpetual harvests and an extra high-THC content, Gorilla Glue #4 has become one of the most popular cannabis strains to grow indoors or outdoors.

Blueberry is a fruity yet hardy little flower that grows well both indoors and out. Blueberry was crossed with Cannabis Ruderalis resulting in the auto-flowering variety that will flower in just a few weeks regardless of changes in daylight. It's also disease and pest resistant, making it perfect for the novice grower. The plants are small, growing to roughly 32? but don't let the small size fool you, this little plant will produce a decent yield of dense buds heavy with resin and speckled with bursts of the bright purples and reds associated with its namesake fruit. The scent and flavors are sweet and heavily lean toward berries and fruits with undertones of pine and vanilla. This Indica dominant hybrid strain is perfect for growing in smaller spaces and gives a nice, relaxing high to help you de-stress and leave the worries of your day behind.
White Widow is well known to produce an enormous amount of resin and white trichomes that cover the plant like fallen snow. It is also easy to grow and adapts well to any system.

Girl Scout Cookies Autoflowering Feminized Seeds
Who wouldn't want an endless supply of Girl Scout Cookies? With autoflowering GSC cannabis seeds, you can do just that. Our feminized, autoflowering seeds allow both beginner and experienced gardeners to yield several harvests in just one growing season. Autoflowering Girl Scout Cookie plants start flowering in 65 days with no change in light levels. Cookie Fam of northern California deftly combined two near landrace cultivars to produce a classic strain that's popular among cannabis breeders and consumers alike. Girl Scout Cookie's frosty buds impart a sweet, fruity taste with an earthy and slightly minty aroma. Girl Scout Cookies is an indica-dominant strain with a 60:40 indica-to-sativa ratio. The result of Cookie Fam's exquisite genetic combination is a cannabis variety with an upbeat vibe that's ideal for creative inspiration or relaxing on a lazy day. Girl Scout Cookies plants grow in twisting helixes adorned with purple sugar leaves and fiery orange pistils. GSC cannabis varieties respond exceptionally well to Sea of Green training techniques.

Devil XXL is an auto flowering strain that grows well indoors and outdoors. Finishes in 65 days from seed. A big benefit of this strain is a massive yield, 600 grams per square metre indoor. Buds are potent, with a high THC value of 19%. Parents are Jack Herer and Big Devil.
Blueberry + Lemon Haze Autoflowering Feminized Seeds
New to growing or looking for a low-maintenance seed? This auto-flowering blueberry and lemon haze strain is fresh, deliciously aromatic, and best of all, a dream to grow.

With 16.5% THC this is a bold, Indica-forward strain that is known to produce an energetic, joyful state. For growers, the benefits are endless.

Photoperiod CBD Feminized Cannabis Seeds:
1:20 THC to CBD Photoperiod CBD Seeds
1:20 CBD:THC is a feminized marijuana strain that produces 20 times the amount of CBD compared to THC. This cannabinoid ratio is very unique. Most feminized marijuana strains produce buds with less than 1% CBD and 15%-20% THC. And most CBD strains produce buds with an even amount of THC to CBD. The very high CBD compared to THC makes this strain very different to all other strains. There are very few strains like it and until very recently CBD strains like this did not exist at all.
Blueberry Photoperiod CBD Seeds (1:16)
We crossed our Blueberry with a pure Afghan CBD variety. Then, an F2 was obtained with same qualities of its Afghan grandfather. Very stable. 1% THC to 16 parts CBD.
Lemon Skunk Photoperiod CBD Seeds
With this revised blend of Lemon Skunk, the happy, energetic head high is lowered to a mild, peaceful sense of well- being that leaves the brain clear and functional so the enhanced levels of CBD can work their magic behind the scenes. Subtle enough for the first-time medical marijuana patient, CBD Lemon Skunk is also a perfect choice for recreational use before work or daily chores.
Super Silver Photoperiod CBD Seeds
Critical Kush Photoperiod CBD Seeds
CBD Critical Kush is a calm, peaceful variety of medical cannabis that mixes genetics from two legendary breeds, OG Kush and Critical Mass, with a high-yielding CBD strain. The resulting plants are nothing short of spectacular when it comes to yield as well as quality. Regardless of experience level, most growers are pleasantly surprised by the sheer volume of buds at harvest time. Expect the flowers to be fully mature as early as seven weeks but no later than nine. 6%-8% THC, 6-8% CBD
Northern Lights Photoperiod CBD Seeds
This is the CBD version of our popular selling Northern Lights. The CBD has been bred up to: THC: 10% / CBD: 9%.
Critical Mass Photoperiod CBD Seeds
Excellent pick for outdoor. Flowers very fast compared to other strains.
Photoperiod Feminized Cannabis Seeds:
White Tahoe Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
White Tahoe Cookies is a perfect example of what Colorado's breeders are contributing to the cannabis community. This mix of The White, Tahoe OG and Girl Scout Cookies was first introduced by Denver's Archive Seeds several years ago, but its fame has since spread around the globe. It still smells like original Girl Scout Cookies, but you'll also detect strong notes of sweet hash as well as subtler hints of OG fuel within the heavier layer of mint.
Bruce Banner #3 Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Bruce Banner is an OG Kush X Strawberry Diesel cross that offers a perfect balance of euphoric head high and pain- relieving body stone, making it a top choice with both recreational and medical marijuana users. Out of the five distinct phenotypes, Bruce Banner #3 is the most popular due to its heavy Strawberry Diesel lean and uncanny ability to meet extremely high THC levels every single time.
Gorilla Glue #4 Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
With this choice, you'll get big, robust plants generously coated in large, swollen buds hardened with more than enough resin to make them feel surprisingly heavy in your hand. The strong, heady aroma adds to the exceptional bag appeal of Gorilla Glue's dried flowers.
Mochalope Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
If you are looking for an indoor/outdoor strain that can be used by serious cannabis farmers as well as home growers, this feminized Mochalope strain is for you. The seed's origin is an Oregon Afghani female clone and a Chocolope male which resulted in a spectacularly fragrant and robust strain. This photoperiod seed is desirable for its high yields, which can reach 600 grams per plant, infamous THC potency, and growing ease. Mochalope is a blissful blend of chocolate, coffee, and herbal notes that you will fall in love with for both its rich scent and its full body euphoric effects. With a THC level of 22%, this is the strain made for the cannabis aficionado. When growing outdoors, the plant prefers some shade, particularly in the heat of the early afternoon.
Chem Dawg #4 Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Dried Chem Dawg #4 flowers have been lab tested at a full 27% THC for a strong, long-lasting high that expands into a very relaxing, full-body stone that'll lock even the most tolerant smoker to the couch for hours. When given plenty of light, these plants have a vigorous start with measurable growth almost every day. Even beginners can pull in massive yields. The light-green buds are big and completely drenched in visible resin with an abundance of bright-orange hairs.
Purple Punch Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
A classic Cali strain, Purple Punch is an indica hybrid beloved for its fruity aromatics and trichome-rich buds. Although we don't know who created this popular purp, there's no doubt it contains genetics from two iconic indicas: Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. These two powerhouse strains give Purple Punch a THC count around 20 percent and about 1 percent CBD content. Like most indica-heavy strains, Purple Punch has a short, bushy appearance with densely packed buds. Typically, this hybrid also has bright green leaves with reddish-orange pistils if you grow it indoors. As with many other strains, you have to expose Purple Punch to slightly cooler temps if you want to bring out those lovely purple patches.
Do-Si-Dos Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
As an Indica-dominant strain, Dos I Dos quickly develops a sturdy structure with a strong main stem and plenty of weight-bearing side branches. As the plants mature, the buds swell, crystallize and start to emit a strong pungent aroma that's sweet, earthy and just a touch floral. Near harvest time, the leaves will start to fade and reveal a mix of lime green and lavender hues. The appearance is simply spectacular!
Strawberry Banana Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
All you have to do is open a jar of cured Strawberry Banana buds to find out how this 70% Indica earned its name. Within seconds, your nose will fill with the rich scent of ripe bananas and sweet berries. The fruit theme carries through to the flavour. As the thick, smooth smoke coats your tongue, it'll taste just as sweet and fruity as a strawberry-banana smoothie.
Granddaddy Purple Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Produces big, dense flowers with a deep purple hue on a short, bushy plant with big leaves and tight nodes. Makes for an excellent producer when vertical space is limited. The purple in the buds is beautiful on its own, but when combined with the orange hairs and white trichrome crystals, the flowers are nothing less than spectacular!
Northern Lights Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Northern Lights is a favourite strain for indoor growing for many very good reasons. The plants stay well under three feet tall with practically no stretch, they are very resilient and thrive under stressful conditions, and the flowering time rarely exceeds seven weeks. Yet, yields are surprisingly high considering the short stature.
Zkittlez Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Sparkly images of Zkittlez' flowers are flooding social media due to the overwhelming demand for this strain. Wins at both the San Francisco and Michigan Cannabis Cups in 2015 and the 2016 Emerald Cup made the entire weed world stand up and take notice, and it continues to be one of the most requested strains available today.
Blue Dream Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Blue Dream is one of the most popular strains in North America for a number of reasons. The feelings are an intense initial rush and a pervasive high followed by a relaxing plateau. It won't make you drowsy despite repeated sessions. Like most Blueberry-based strains, Blue Dream isn't a particularly noxious option either, thanks to the lack of terpenes that make Sour Diesel, for example, so pungent. The aroma is light and effervescent with hints of citrus and earth. You can expect to see very distinctive blue-green buds that are dense if you grow it properly.
LSD Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
https://drseeds.net/product/lsd-photoperiod-feminized-seeds/ The high isn't LSD feminized's only appealing feature. It's extremely easy to grow from seed and can yield as high as 700 grams per square meter indoor, or 18 ounces per plant outdoor, after about nine weeks of bloom. If you're growing in a challenging environment that's prone to mold, mildew or other pests, feminized LSD seeds are up to the challenge. They resist diseases that quickly kill less hardy plants. On average, heights for this Indica-dominant hybrid range from 90 to 100 cm indoor. Outdoors, its short-medium stature makes it suitable for large planters.
Alien Technology Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
The exact lineage of Alien Technology is a mystery. It is a land-race Afghan strain that is reputed to have been acquired in seed form from a small village in Afghanistan by a US soldier, and gifted to OBSoul33t who flowered it and selected the best phenotypes. Testing shows THC levels up to 19%, and an indoor yield time of 8-9 weeks. True to its Indica heritage, this strain will grow short plants that are robust and produce tightly packed thick buds with an aroma described as spicy, sweet, and diesel-like. Buds from this strain are fluffy and light green, covered in orange hairs, and trichome production results in a mesmerizing white covering of trichomes. It is suitable for growing outdoors and outdoors, hardy in the cold, yields an average amount,and pruning is recommended because leaf and bud structure are dense. It increases yield with hydroponic and S.O.G. systems.
Bubba Kush Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Bubba Kush has been a favourite with marijuana smokers on the West Coast. It's a powerful Indica derived from OG Kush and a mystery strain from New Orleans with a near-narcotic buzz that'll relax your body and leave you locked to the couch for hours in a dreamy state of mental bliss. When used for medicinal purposes, feminized Bubba Kush has been found to relieve stress, depression, insomnia and lack of appetite.
Oregon Peach Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Recreational smokers who are looking for utter and total couchlock might not be bowled over by Oregon Peach's smooth, mellow high, but medical marijuana patients lucky enough to find this herb in their local dispensary can't get enough. Almost immediately, a happy euphoria spreads across your brain, giving you a sense of purpose and motivation. That pleasant feeling transitions into a mild, comfortable body stone that quickly and quietly eliminates pain, spasms and even mild depression with only a slight amount of dreamy sedation.
Sunset Sherbert Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
The strong, potent high from Sunset Sherbet is thanks to its ratio of eighty-five percent indica to fifteen-percent sativa with a THC level between fifteen and nineteen percent. This is an easy strain to grow and maintain making it perfect for first-time cannabis growers. Sherbet weed grows to a medium height with thick, bushy stems and dense flowers. Experienced cultivators enjoy adding it to their grow for variety and for its aesthetic appeal and intoxicating aroma. Grow sherbet in a Mediterranian-like environment with daylight temps of around 70 degrees and slightly chillier nighttime temps just before flowering. Sherbet grows best in soil rather than with hydroponics. When grown outdoors, harvest time is in late September or early October.
Super Skunk Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Super Skunk has a pungent aroma, enhanced with a nice sweetness, and the flowers are compact and potent. The sticky buds are bright green in colour and complemented with orange and brown hairs. Super Skunk flourishes outside, but it can also provide medium to high yields with the proper indoor system. Buds offer deep relaxation that alleviates stress and anxiety and a spacey high.
Orange Bud Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Orange Bud is an original skunk variety created by breeding two parents of the Skunk family The goal with breeding was to find the fruitiest phenotypes available without losing yield or quality. A hardy and stable original Cannabis Cup award-winning variety, this strain will yield heavy with buds that are long, densely filled in, and covered with bright orange hairs and an overload of THC crystals. With a flowering time of 8-9 weeks, this strain is a hybrid with 65% Indica. This strain grows well indoors and out and adapts well to all growing mediums and techniques.
Cinderella 99 + Blueberry Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
A sativa dominant hybrid that delivers very beautiful blue tinted buds with orange hairs, and a delightful bouquet smell combining notes of wildberry, pineapple and wood. High yielding with excellent stability makes her a growers dream plant.
Blueberry Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Blueberry was first bred in the 1970s by DJ Short, and it's still one of the most popular cannabis strains on the market today. Both the taste and the smell are sweet and fruity with unmistakable notes of fresh blueberries. It is one of the loveliest Indicas you can grow. Most plants will produce big, resin-covered buds that have glittery bursts of blue mixed in with the green.
White Widow Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
True to her name, White Widow quickly transforms from a healthy green plant to a snow-covered beauty, packing on a copious amount of frosty resin as her buds develop and swell into massive flowers. Indoors, generous yields mature fully in only about 60 days after this proven producer is switched to a 12/12 lighting schedule.
Girl Scout Cookies Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
This is a complex, multi-faceted strain that will surprise you! GSC has a sweet, rich bouquet that includes notes of hops, lemon and spice. Bright green calyxes, purple leaves and neon orange hairs make this strain visually distinctive.
Powerplant Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Fueled by genuine South African Sativa genetics, PowerPlant sends your mind flying within seconds. The high is crystal clear and functional, leaving you feeling energized and motivated for hours at a time.
G13 Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
The G13 strain of cannabis supposedly was initially developed from a research facility of the United States government, or so the rumor says. Users report that G13 provides them with a euphoria that is pleasant and socially manageable, making G13 a favorite amongst marijuana users. This variety of marijuana also has a sweet and earthy flavor that many people enjoy. G13 grows well hydroponically in a sea of green set up. This setting produces enormous buds. When growing this strain of marijuana, give the plants plenty of space between the branches to provide the buds with plenty of room to get as large as possible. G13 also grows well outdoors, because it handles cooler temperatures better than many strains of pot.
Amnesia Gold Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
The Amnesia Gold cannabis strain is an exceptionally popular one for growers looking to supply prized products because it features a THC content of about 19% and a CBD content of around 1%. It is a feminized product of a cross between Amnesia and Lennon Haze and is a true hybrid consisting of 80% Sativa and 20% Indica. It is widely praised for its fast-growing properties and strong potency.
Lemon Garlic Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Lemon Garlic is a perfect strain for newcomers and oldschoolers alike. Lovingly developed over the years, Lemon Garlic yields only the most desirable cuts of spicy green with hints of citrus, pine, and garlic. The buds are densely stacked and flush with trichomes. Popular in the evening, the strain is dominantly herbal with a not-so-subtle peppery and citrus chaser. Great for chilling in front of your favorite movie or video game, The texture is perfect for a joint roll, and although samplers raved about the relaxation benefits, didn't state any concerns about feeling overly sleepy. Give Lemon Garlic a try yourself and experience the flavors, aromas, and sensations.
#5 Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
#5 delivers a very relaxing and long lasting high. A smooth smoke with tropical fruit flavour. Grows to a medium size with light green leaves and bright orange pistols. Long, compact and slender buds that glitter with crystal.
Skywalker Photoperiod Feminized Seeds
Skywalker, a hybrid strain with an even 50/50 indica/sativa split, originated as a Mazar X Blueberry cross. It carries a milder version of the traditional indica body high and general feelings of relaxation, but the sativa component prevents the more extreme sedative effects and couchlock from happening. Clocking in at around 15% THC and a negligible amount of CBD, it isn't the most potent strain around, but it's the perfect strain for novices. Its lower THC contents and indica component reduce the risk of paranoia, and growing is uniquely easy. Skywalker plants usually have better outcomes if grown indoors.

The Tenth Episode
At Your Peril’s latest episode, ‘The Tenth Episode’ is a ghost story that skews the lines between fact and fiction.
“So basically, this episode is a bit di erent. As you know, if you’ve listened before, usually we have brand new original stories to tell you, that we’ve spent a long time constructing, writing and ultimately fabricating. If you haven’t heard any of them, then I’d encourage you to go and have a listen, because we really have worked hard on them. But, er, well, this episode… Everything I’m going to tell you actually happened.”
Arthur McBain says of the episode: ‘This episode is about male mental health, and about life after death – two things I never thought would be in the same sentence… I think that listeners are in for a treat.’
Owen Jenkins says ‘The fact that At Your Peril is an Anthology series feels exciting, because each episode can take the listener to a completely di erent setting, with varying styles and touching on lots of di erent themes. This latest episode combines some classic horror moments with an important underlying message, and I feel everyone will have something to take away from it.’
‘THE TENTH EPISODE’ IS OUT ON 30/09/20 ON ALL PLATFORMS

The Best Things to Do in Hawaii
By Jenn May 6, 2020 Category: Recreation
Hawaii is such a special place, as anyone who’s been would agree. From snowy mountains to dolphin-filled waters and intensely green volcanoes, there’s an almost endless array to choose from when visiting.
With a whole chain of islands, each of which is unique, a Hawaii itinerary could go on and on, but here is a roundup of the very best activities across the Hawaiian islands if you’re itching to find out what to do in Hawaii as you plan your trip:
Swim with Dolphins on the Big Island
Cue “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid
Hawaii is most special because of its island lifestyle, which means that you absolutely have to spend some time in the ocean while you’re there! There are dozens of amazing underwater opportunities throughout the islands, but some of the most noteworthy are snorkeling at Hanauma Bay on Oahu and swimming with dolphins or manta rays on the Big Island.
Drive Maui’s Road to Hana
My favorite photo from the Road to Hana
Maui’s Road to Hana is one of the most breathtaking experiences that the Hawaiian Islands have to offer. The beautiful 64-mile drive has more than 600 turns which lead you to countless waterfalls, beaches, small towns, and lookouts. Many of Maui’s hidden treasures — like the Seven Sacred Pools — are nestled along the journey.
Visit Colorful Beaches
It’s actually green!
Not only is Hawaii home to more beautiful beaches than one could count, each one is unique! Some of the coolest ones around are those with unusual colors, like Kehena Black Sand Beach, Papakōlea Green Sand Beach, and Punalu’u Black Sand Beach, all on the Big Island. Explore all the different types and colors you can!
See Volcanoes
Sunrise at Haleakalā volcano in Maui
Hawaii isn’t all about the beaches and the ocean, though its topography consists just as much of mountains and volcanoes! (And to be fair, they’re nothing short of awe-inspiring.) Be sure to check out Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, especially the Lava Tubes. Or, watch a spectacular sunrise from Maui’s Haleakalā.
I made a four-legged friend in Maui!
Nothing says “Hawaii” like surfing! I took a surf lesson while on a solo trip to Maui, and it was a fantastic experience. No matter which island you’re on, there are bound to be dozens of great spots to catch a wave, as well as plenty of reputable surf schools. The best part about surfing in Hawaii is how warm the waters are, so you don’t even need a wetsuit like you would in many other places around the world.
Chase Waterfalls
Incredible, right?!
We all know that the song says, “Don’t go chasing waterfalls,” but a trip to Hawaii is the exception to the rule! These gorgeous features are scattered all over the islands, and no two are exactly alike. Some of most noteworthy are Akaka Falls on the Big Island, the countless falls nestled in Oahu’s Ko’olau Mountain Range, and Kauai’s Wailua Falls.
The view from the Polulu lookout is unbeatable.
Hiking is the perfect activity in Hawaii because it can be enjoyed on any island and topography. One of my favorite hikes is the Big Island’s Polulu Valley trail, which takes you down the coastal cliffs to a secluded black sand beach! Other famous hikes include Oahu’s Diamond Head, Maui’s Waihee Ridge Trail, and Kauai’s intense but beautiful Kalalau Trail.
Explore Kauai’s Waimea Canyon
Now that is a canyon!
At 14 miles long, a mile wide and more than 3,600 feet deep, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” can’t be missed. Waimea Canyon — on the southwest side of Kauai — is home to tall waterfalls, breathtaking views, and the winding Waimea River below. Take advantage of the canyon’s free admission to enjoy the countless trails and lookout points as well as the stunning color scheme of the gorge.
See Oahu’s Byodo-In Temple
The red temple looks beautiful against the lush green surroundings
The Byodo-In Temple on Oahu is an identical replica of the original Byodo-In Temple in Uji, Japan , which was built nearly 1,000 years ago and is now a United Nations World Heritage Site. The Hawaiian version was constructed in 1968 in honor of the 100-year anniversary of the arrival of Hawaii’s first Japanese immigrants. Not only is the temple itself marvelous, the surrounding grounds are equally as tranquil and beautiful. While Byodo-In is a Buddhist temple, people of all faiths are welcome to visit.
4-Wheel-Drive on Lanai
Just a girl and her Jeep!
Lanai is one of the smallest Hawaiian islands at an area of about 140 square miles. (For reference, Kauai has an area of about 560 square miles, and Maui measures about 730 square miles.) Because the island is so small (and rugged, too), it sees few tourists and has even fewer paved roads. The island doesn’t even have a single traffic light! The coolest thing to do here, then, is rent a jeep and cruise around the rocky island with four-wheel drive! Don’t let this intimidate you; anyone can have a great time adventuring around the island, even with little to no experience driving on roads like this.
Explore Botanical Gardens
Welcome to Hawaii.
Above all else, the Hawaiian Islands are lush, green, and abundant in flora and fauna. (Well, except for Lanai!) Take some time to enjoy the incredible natural scenery no matter which island you are on by visiting one of the countless botanical gardens scattered throughout the islands. Check out the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden on the Big Island, the Allerton or McBryde Botanical Gardens on Kauai, the Lili’uokalani or Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens on Oahu, or the Kula Botanical Garden on Maui.
Watch for Whales
Hey, big guy!
From December to May (and especially in January, February, and March), large numbers of humpback whales migrate from the Gulf of Alaska to the Hawaiian Islands where they enjoy the warm, shallow waters. A large majority of North Pacific whales return to the islands yearly, scientists believe, annually completing the 3,000-mile journey to breed, calve, and raise their young. The whales can be seen just offshore any of the islands, but one of the best spots for whale watching is the Auna Channel between Lanai, Maui, and Molokai. If you’re lucky, you’ll even spot one breaching!
Tour a Kona Coffee Farm
It’s hard to believe that coffee beans look almost like grapes at one point!
One of the coolest things to do on the Big Island is learn about that world-famous Kona coffee! There’s a reason it’s so special: the coffee beans grow wonderfully thanks to both the frequent cloud cover and the rich, volcanic soil of the island. The resulting flavor and aroma of Kona coffee is simply unbeatable! Embrace the coffee culture of the Big Island by touring a working coffee farm, where you’ll get to learn more about the growing process, production, and end result of Kona coffee!
Imagine flying over this view!
Spend an afternoon hiking through the forest and zooming across the island high above the treetops by going on a zipline tour! Nearly every island has at least one company with which you can zipline, and it is an amazing experience. Through and through, ziplining is an exciting outdoor adventure which allows you to take in much of the island and experience its unique ecosystem in a thrilling way.
Visit Maui’s Molokini Crater
Molokini Crater was once a volcano!
Molokini Crater, just four miles off the southwest coast of Maui, is a partially submerged, crescent-shaped volcanic crater. Molokini is special not only because it is the remains of a 230,000-year-old volcano, but because it has become an atoll, or a ring-shaped coral reef. Its crescent shape protects against strong waves and currents, which makes for great snorkeling and diving; in fact, the stillness of the water allows for visibility which can even reach 150 feet of depth! The reef is home to nearly 250 species of fish and almost 40 species of coral, and therefore has been named a State Marine Life & Bird Conservation District. Molokini is even a great spot for whale watching! Because the crater is a hub for all kinds of different creatures, it a must-see when visiting Maui!
Tube Through Kauai’s Mountain Country
How picturesque!
Hop on a tube and wind your way through the canal system that was once used to irrigate sugar crops on the Lihue sugar cane plantation! The ride is part adventure, part outdoor excursion, and part laid-back float. Small waterfalls and choppy currents keep the ride exciting, dark tunnels lit up by your headlamps add a thrill, and a day out in Kauai’s backcountry can’t be beat! Try it for yourself with Kauai Backcountry Adventures.
While this list can’t possibly have everything the Hawaiian islands has to offer, it’s a great start for nature-loving, adventurous types who want the perfect mix. There’s infinitely more cultural, culinary, and aquatic adventures to be had, and I, for one, look forward to exploring them for years to come.

Straight path downhill EDITORIAL 01/14/2011
Straight path downhill
People outside looking in seem not all impressed by Noynoy who trumpets daily his so-called straight path his administration is taking. The conservative United States think tank Heritage Foundation, however, believes that the country is even retrogressing in terms of the government’s battle against corruption.
In the index of economic freedom that it undertakes yearly with the authoritative Wall Street Journal, the Philippines was found at the lower half of the ranking, at 115 of 179 nations and among countries with a “mostly unfree” economy.
A major factor for the poor showing of the country was the existence of still “pervasive corruption” more than half a year into the Aquino administration. The Heritage index showed the performance of the country in the index had reached its highest around the period 1997 to 2000, which was the time when Joseph Estrada was President but who, ironically, was forced out of office on trumped-up corruption charges by the very same elite people who are now allied with Noynoy and who imposed Gloria on the nation as successor of Erap who, to this very day, has never claimed to have abdicated his post.....

Prunus pumila
Opinion has varied as to whether Prunus pumila is best treated as one variable or as two, three, or four separate species. The plants vary in stem posture, twig indument, leaf shape, fruit size and taste, pit size and shape, and ecologic preference. Even though the morphologic characters show almost continuous variation, four varieties are recognized here, based largely on differences in ecologic habitat and geographic range[
Flora of N. America
http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/fna/
An on-line version of the flora with an excellent description of the plant including a brief mention of plant uses.
The taxonomic history of Prunus is long and complicated, in part due to the economic value of its fruit crops and also the ease with which some species hybridize. Here, Prunus is circumscribed in its broad sense based on the argument that when viewed on a worldwide scale, the morphologic discontinuities among the segregate genera diminish and they overlap with one another. Included here are species that have at times been placed in the genera Amygdalus, Armeniaca, Cerasus, Laurocerasus, Padus, and Persica.
At the species level, Prunus has been the object of the usual combining and splitting common among taxonomists with different philosophies and opinions. In particular, over-reliance on the indument of various vegetative and floral parts has led to the naming of numerous species and infraspecific taxa. Similarly, too much has been made of fruit colour and palatability in naming taxa of Prunus. It is very likely that, as molecular and genetic data are analyzed and, more importantly, correlated with morphological data, circumscriptions will be redrawn and the number of Prunus species will be reduced[
Cerasus pumila (L.) Michx.
Microcerasus pumila (L.) Eremin & Yushev
Common Name: Dwarf American Cherry
Prunus pumila is an unarmed, deciduous shrub wih stems that are usually erect-ascending, sometimes decumbent; it can grow 30 - 150cm tall, occasionally to 250cm[
]. The plant sometimes produces suckers, and can form thickets[
The plant is harvested from the wild for local use as a food. It is an excellent soil stabilizer and is used on dunes, roadside plantings etc. It is also used as a rootstock and in breeding programmes, especially with the Japanese plum.
The plant (especially the seed and young shoots) contains cyanogenic glycosides, especially amygdalin and prunasin. When injested, these compounds break down in the digestive tract to release cyanide. Used in small quantities in both traditional and conventional medicine, this exceedingly poisonous compound has been shown to stimulate respiration, improve digestion, and promote a sense of well-being[

In larger concentrations, however, cyanide can cause gasping, weakness, excitement, pupil dilation, spasms, convulsions, coma and respiratory failure leading to death[
Poisonous Plants of North Carolina
http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/poison/poison.htm
An excellent concise but comprehensive guide to toxic plants that grow in N. Carolina. It lists even those plants that are of very low toxicity, including several well-known food plants such as carrots and potatoes.
The fruits and flowers of most members of this genus generally have low or very low concentrations of this toxin, though the seeds and young shoots can contain much higher levels.
The levels of toxin can be detected by the level of bitterness:- for example sweet tasting almond seeds are a major food crop and are often eaten in quantity, whilst bitter tasting almond seeds are used as a flavouring (in marzipan for example) but are not usually eaten on their own.
In general, it can be considered safe to eat any fruit or seed from species in this genus that either have a sweet flavour or are slightly bitter. Great caution should be taken, however, if the flavour is moderately to very bitter[

], though the young growth in spring is fairly tender[
Requires a sunny position[
]. Requires a well-drained moisture retentive soil[
]. The plant grows in the wild on sandy, gravelly, and rocky soils, dunes, beaches, and outwash plains - sites are typically dry and excessively drained[
]. Thrives in a loamy soil, doing well on limestone[
]. Prefers some chalk in the soil but apt to become chlorotic if too much is present[
]. Established plants are very drought resistant[
]. Succeeds on calcareous, saline, or serpentine soils, tolerating a pH down to around 4.0[
Prunus pumila is treated here as consisting of four more or less distinct varieties - each one is given a separate record because, amongst other differences, they vary in the size and quality of their edible fruit. Variety depressa always has prostrate to decumbent stems, and the plants form mats on the rocky or sandy substrate along streams in eastern North America. All of the other varieties sometimes have decumbent stems; specimens are sometimes misidentified as var. depressa, but nearly always some of the stems on these plants are ascending or erect. Stems of the varieties besseyi and pumila are often partially buried in shifting sands on the dunes in the sandhills of Nebraska and on the dunes along the shores of the Great Lakes[
Plants are susceptible to mildew in low areas[
Plants thrive in areas with a short growing season[
]. The fruits are highly resistant to all fruit worms[
Plants can produce fruit in 3 years from seed[
A single plant, growing at Hilliers Arboretum in 1999, produced a good crop of fruit with viable seed, so the species is almost certainly self-fertile[
Most members of this genus are shallow-rooted and will produce suckers if the roots are damaged[
Plants in this genus are notably susceptible to honey fungus[

Weiner. M. A.
Ballantine Books
A nice book to read though it is difficult to look up individual plants since the book is divided into separate sections dealing with the different medicinal uses plus a section on edible plants. Common names are used instead of botanical.
Seed - raw or cooked. Do not eat the seed if it is too bitter - see the notes above on toxicity.
Although no specific mention has been seen for this species, all members of the genus contain amygdalin and prunasin, substances which break down in water to form hydrocyanic acid (cyanide or prussic acid). In small amounts this exceedingly poisonous compound stimulates respiration, improves digestion and gives a sense of well-being[
The plant is considered to be a dune building species. It has a deep root network that helps to stabilize sand, allowing for the invasion of other plant species and colonization by 'soil building' invertebrates such as ants. It is most abundant on dunes 55 years old or less, and decreases in abundance as dunes age[
It has been recommended for revegetation plantings in the Rocky Mountain and Intermountain west along road sides or other bare areas. It is listed as being high in value for restoration of disturbed sites for its soil stabilizing characteristics, and has been recommended for use in the revegetation of coal minespoils in the eastern United States primarily because of its tolerance of acidic soils[

Used as a rootstock for the sour cherry[
]. It is a good dwarfing rootstock for peaches, apricots and plums[
The plant (especially the var besseyi) has been used to create hybrids with the peach, apricot and plum. The resulting cultivars are generally quite winter hardy and bloom later in the spring which results in less spring freeze damage. Hybrids with the peach are largely sterile, but those with the Japanese plum are highly fertile[
Seed - requires 2 - 3 months cold stratification and is best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe[
]. Sow stored seed in a cold frame as early in the year as possible[
]. Protect the seed from mice etc. The seed can be rather slow, sometimes taking 18 months to germinate[

The Theatreguide.London Review
After Mrs Rochester
Duke of York's Theatre Summer 2003
Polly Teale's new play about novelist Jean Rhys is the sort of thing a very talented postgraduate student in English literature might write. But it remains an intellectual construct throughout, and a stage full of fine actors cannot make it come alive as theatre.
A reminder of two bits of background: First, in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, the heroine's love interest turns out to have a first wife, who he married in the West Indies and who is now a madwoman locked in the attic.
Second, twentieth-century novelist Jean Rhys, herself born in the West Indies, fought mental and emotional demons of her own all her life. Her award-winning novel Wide Sargasso Sea is a prequel to Jane Eyre, told from the first wife's point of view.
Teale's play finds Jean locked in her own attic trying to write the novel, and haunted by the spirit of Mrs. Rochester.
As Jean remembers her own life and it is acted out before us, biography, Wide Sargasso Sea and Jane Eyre run parallel, clash into each other and even blend together in various ways, in the hopes of explaining why the fiction meant so much to Jean and to use Jean's life to reinterpret the fiction.
Now that is very, very, very clever. But the problem is that that's all it is - a clever literary conceit. We don't really learn anything new about either Rhys or Bronte, and none of the characters, real or fictional, ever come alive.
They are quotations cited to support a thesis, and we are always aware that we are watching an illustrated Ph.D. dissertation, not a play.
Acting as her own director, Teale moves her cast around fluidly and guides several of them through doubled and tripled roles, but not a single one of them is ever a real human being.
As the mature Jean, Diana Quick has little to do except look haggard and narrate her life story. Much of the acting burden is on the shoulders of Madeleine Potter as the younger Jean.
But the biography, however accurate, comes across as such a string of costume-drama cliches - unhappy childhood, unhappy schooldays, unhappy love affairs, unhappy marriages, unhappy writing - that Potter's accomplishment lies in keeping us from laughing rather than in creating any reality or empathy.
Fans of either Bronte or Rhys will enjoy the play as they would enjoy an interesting lecture, because they come to it already interested in the subject matter.
Others may wonder why they are there and why they are being told these things about a woman that the play does not succeed in making interesting.

The compositions in the Adi Granth are almost all grouped according to 31 rāgs, a musical mode. A hymn in the Adi Granth is termed a shabad. According to the teachings of Nanak, the shabad is the vehicle of divine communication between God and man, and the term used for Word came to be applied to the composition that gave it expression. A shorter composition (usually a couplet) is called a shalok. ADI GRANTH VERSIONS. The Kartarpur bir serves as the master draft of the Adi Granth. Prior to its recording, Guru Arjan had several drafts prepared, such as Adi Granth MS 1245.
Certainly, Ranjit Singh extended the bounds of his kingdom in three directions and was prevented from doing so in the fourth only by the arrival of the British. The Sutlej River formed the border between the two. In one respect, however, Ranjit Singh’s reign was not a success. He created a powerful army along European lines, but he did not succeed in creating a firm financial base for it. Moreover, Ranjit Singh did little to prepare his kingdom for the period after his death. When he died in 1839, the kingdom rapidly declined into confusion and was annexed to British India in 1849, following two Anglo-Sikh wars.

Home Arts & LIfe UN Art Installation arrives in Waterloo
UN Art Installation arrives in Waterloo
Rethinking Mythos: A Mid-Career Retrospective of Neil Tetkowski will be exhibiting for the first time at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery (CCGG). It “surveys the work of the American artist Neil Tetkowsi created over nearly 40 years and represents a significant milestone of artistic accomplishment,” wrote George Bernard Singer, original curator of the exhibition in the show’s catalogue book.
When questioned on why Tetkowski was chosen over other Canadian artists for this solo exhibition, the new curator of CCGG (as of 2014) Sheila McMath said, “The gallery’s mission and mandate celebrates Canadian contemporary artists first and foremost … but in art, national borders are permeable. Artists from all over the world collaborate and influence each other in profound ways … Tetkowski also has a deep affinity for the Ontario region as he recently made work in the Niagara Gorge, a space shared by Canada and the U.S., and he spent his formative years surrounded by the Niagara River on Grand Island.”
The exhibition occupies all four spaces of the CCGG. Singer wrote, “The exhibition points to the artist’s roots in creating circular works … it also includes two large-scale sculptures and a photo installation that are fully at home within … the gallery’s spaces.”
One of the major works in the exhibition is the Common Ground World Project. According to Tetkowski, the project was inspired when “somewhere around 1997, I got this idea: what would happen if we took earth from two countries that didn’t like each other and blended it together?”
The project was put in action in 2000 and was completed in 2002. It was displayed for a time in the United Nations visitor lobby in New York City.
The work consists of three parts: Installation 188, a series of numbered glass bottles containing clay from each of the 188 respective United Nations countries in 2000; a graphical text where their names are placed beside their corresponding number; and the World Mandala Monument, a large clay disk containing numbered clay pieces arranged in a spiral formation. At the centre of the disk are two handprints, one of a 100-year-old woman and the other of a Chinese baby (who in 2015 is now 15 years old).
Tetkowski, who was quite happy with this work, said the goals of the project were achieved: “It did prove to be very accessible artworks … [and] doesn’t matter if they’re eight years old or 80 years old, doesn’t matter their financial or cultural background … everybody can relate.”
Rethinking Mythos: A Mid-Career Retrospective of Neil Tetkowski will be exhibiting at the CCGG near Uptown Waterloo March 29 to June 21, 2015.

Learning to Swear in America
by Katie Kennedy
Signed Hardcover plus Swag Giveaway
U.S. Only
Bloomsbury USA Childrens
Released 7/5/2016
Brimming with humor and one-of-a-kind characters, this end-of-the world novel will grab hold of Andrew Smith and Rainbow Rowell fans.
An asteroid is hurtling toward Earth. A big, bad one. Yuri, a physicist prodigy from Russia, has been called to NASA as they calculate a plan to avoid disaster. He knows how to stop the asteroid: his research in antimatter will probably win him a Nobel prize--if there's ever another Nobel prize awarded. But Yuri's 17, and having a hard time making older, stodgy physicists listen to him. Then he meets Dovie, who lives like a normal teenager, oblivious to the impending doom. Being with her, on the adventures she plans when he's not at NASA, Yuri catches a glimpse of what it means to save the world and save a life worth living.
Prepare to laugh, cry, cringe, and have your mind burst open with questions of the universe.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Learning to Swear in America?
LEARNING TO SWEAR IN AMERICA is a high concept book—meaning that an incoming asteroid is a scenario that’s easy to explain and easy to grasp. I learned a lot while researching the science scenes, but my favorites were the scenes Yuri has with Dovie (and her brother, Lennon). It was fun hearing them all talk to each other. So in a book that is pretty explicitly defined by its plot, my favorite thing is the characters, and the interactions between characters.

Life After Juliet
by Shannon Lee Alexander
Swag Only Giveaway
Entangled: Teen
Becca Hanson is a reader--a "voracious" reader. And with all those fictional friends, she never had time for real ones. Plus real ones come with uncontrollable quirks, like constantly filling a room with song, drawing on any available surface, and worst of all, dying. Real friends are more trouble than they're worth. Since her best-and only-real friend Charlotte's death six months before, Becca has returned to a life of books in order to distance herself from heartache and constant loneliness as her junior year at Sandstone High begins.
When a class project forces her into the Drama Club, she attracts the attention of not one, but TWO guys involved in the production, onstage and off. Meanwhile, she's still dealing with the grief of Charlotte's death--the fact that Charlie is away at MIT--and that she finally has to build a life for herself on her own terms. Ultimately she learns more about who she is, what she wants, how she feels--and how to find what she's looking for. And while she isn't sure what comes next, she's pretty sure there'll be more kissing involved.
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Life After Juliet?
My favorite thing about LIFE AFTER JULIET is that much of the story takes place in a high school theater. I loved my theater arts classes and the drama club in high school. It was there that I found my first tribe, a merry band of misfits who made me feel at home in my own skin. I was so pleased to give Becca Hanson the chance to try out new roles and grow into her own true self while surrounded by a crazy cast of drammies and techies.

Secrets, Lies, and Scandals
by Amanda K. Morgan
Hardcover Giveaway
In the tradition of I Know What You Did Last Summer and How to Get Away with Murder, five teens must overcome their paranoia in order to keep their teacher’s death a secret in this fast-paced suspense thriller.
Nothing ruins summer vacation like a secret…especially when it involves a dead teacher.
Ivy used to be on top of the social ladder, until her ex made that all go away. She has a chance to be Queen Bee again, but only if the rest of the group can keep quiet.
Tyler has always been a bad boy, but lately he’s been running low on second chances. There’s no way he’s going to lose everything because someone couldn’t keep their mouth shut.
Kinley wouldn’t describe herself as perfect, though everyone else would. But perfection comes at a price, and there is nothing she wouldn’t do to keep her perfect record—one that doesn’t include murder charges.
Mattie is only in town for the summer. He wasn’t looking to make friends, and he definitely wasn’t looking to be involved in a murder. He’s also not looking to be riddled with guilt for the rest of his life…but to prevent that he’ll have to turn them all in.
Cade couldn’t care less about the body, or about the pact to keep the secret. The only way to be innocent is for someone else to be found guilty. Now he just has to decide who that someone will be.
With the police hot on the case, they don’t have much time to figure out how to trust each other. But in order to take the lead, you have to be first in line … and that’s the quickest way to get stabbed in the back.

That's actually a really tough question! There are a lot of things I really like about this book, but I think I love the main characters the most. SECRETS, LIES, AND SCANDALS is told from the viewpoints of five different characters: Ivy, Mattie, Tyler, Kinley, and Cade. They're all good people in a really awful situation. I love how it really forces the cast to confront what's important and what they're unwilling to lose.

Paper and Fire
In Ink and Bone, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine introduced a world where knowledge is power, and power corrupts absolutely. Now, she continues the story of those who dare to defy the Great Library—and rewrite history…
With an iron fist, The Great Library controls the knowledge of the world, ruthlessly stamping out all rebellion, forbidding the personal ownership of books in the name of the greater good.
Jess Brightwell has survived his introduction to the sinister, seductive world of the Library, but serving in its army is nothing like he envisioned. His life and the lives of those he cares for have been altered forever. His best friend is lost, and Morgan, the girl he loves, is locked away in the Iron Tower and doomed to a life apart.
Embarking on a mission to save one of their own, Jess and his band of allies make one wrong move and suddenly find themselves hunted by the Library’s deadly automata and forced to flee Alexandria, all the way to London.
But Jess’s home isn’t safe anymore. The Welsh army is coming, London is burning, and soon, Jess must choose between his friends, his family, or the Library willing to sacrifice anything and anyone in the search for ultimate control…
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about Paper and Fire?
For any book I do, it's the characters that really pull me through a story, and PAPER AND FIRE sees all of the characters from INK AND BONE change and grow ... and reveal more secrets. For Scholar Wolfe and Captain Santi, we get to see the strength and love of their relationship, and how much it costs them to stay together through it all. For Jess and his friends, we really see them growing up to face ever-increasing challenges ... not just the physical hardships they'll face, but the emotional ones, too. Without giving too much away, they'll have to make very hard choices in this book that will change the course of their lives ... and those choices have very real consequences to the world.
Having said all that, one of the most fun things I did in this book was to really dig into the puzzle of the Iron Tower and the Obscurists, the Black Archives that the Library hides from the rest of the world, and all of the sinister implications of what it's suppressed through the ages. It's surprising for the characters and me as a writer, and I hope for readers, too.
Also, automatons! SO MANY. And so dangerous! Egyptian gods, sphinxes, Roman lions, Spartan statues ... and every one of them will be against our heroes at some point.
I love history, and seeing it come to life in my imagination is really the very best thing about PAPER AND FIRE for me.

The Lost & Found
by Katrina Leno
HarperTeen
LOST:
Frannie and Louis met in an online support group when they were both younger. They have never met face-to-face. They don’t even know each other’s real names. All they know is that they both have a mysterious tendency to lose things. Well, not lose them, exactly. Things just seem to…disappear.
They each receive news in the mail that sets them off on a road trip to Austin, Texas, looking for answers—and each other. Along the way, each one begins to find, as if by magic, important things the other has lost. And by the time they finally meet in person, they realize that the things you lose might be things you weren’t meant to have at all, and that you never know what you might find if you just take a chance.
The Lost & Found is a bighearted novel about connections (missed and found), family (the kind you’re born with and the kind you make for yourself), and unexpected journeys (on the road, and of the heart), from an author who Publishers Weekly called “a fierce new presence.”
Author Question: What is your favorite thing about The Lost & Found?
My favorite thing about THE LOST & FOUND is the characters- both the two protagonists and the characters who follow along with them in their journey. It was important to me to have strongly developed "secondary" characters (in quotes because I think both Willa and Arrow would be pissed if you called them secondary) because so often in life we are supported in our personal journeys by strong, positive friends and family. I wanted to reflect that in TL&F and I think Willa and Arrow play their parts admirably!

by Danielle Vega
Razorbill
Danielle Vega—YA’s answer to Stephen King—once again brings major scares in the spine-tingling sequel to horror hit The Merciless, which MTV calls “Mean Girls meets The Exorcist.”
Sofia is still processing the horrific truth of what happened when she and three friends performed an exorcism that spiraled horribly out of control. Ever since that night, Sofia has been haunted by bloody and demonic visions. Her therapist says they’re all in her head, but to Sofia they feel chillingly real. She just wants to get out of town, start fresh someplace else . . . until her mother dies suddenly, and Sofia gets her wish.
Sofia is sent to St. Mary’s, a creepy Catholic boarding school in Mississippi. There, seemingly everyone is doing penance for something, most of all the mysterious Jude, for whom Sofia can’t help feeling an unshakeable attraction. But when Sofia and Jude confide in each other about their pasts, something flips in him. He becomes convinced that Sofia is possessed by the devil. . . . Is an exorcism the only way to save her eternal soul?
Readers won’t be able to look away from this terrifying read full of twists and turns that will leave them wondering, Is there evil in all of us?

This Savage Song
by Victoria Schwab
Greenwillow Books
There’s no such thing as safe in a city at war, a city overrun with monsters. In this dark urban fantasy from acclaimed author Victoria Schwab, a young woman and a young man must choose whether to become heroes or villains—and friends or enemies—with the future of their home at stake. The first of two books, This Savage Song is a must-have for fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor.
Kate Harker and August Flynn are the heirs to a divided city—a city where the violence has begun to breed actual monsters. All Kate wants is to be as ruthless as her father, who lets the monsters roam free and makes the humans pay for his protection. All August wants is to be human, as good-hearted as his own father, to play a bigger role in protecting the innocent—but he’s one of the monsters. One who can steal a soul with a simple strain of music. When the chance arises to keep an eye on Kate, who’s just been kicked out of her sixth boarding school and returned home, August jumps at it. But Kate discovers August’s secret, and after a failed assassination attempt the pair must flee for their lives. In This Savage Song, Victoria Schwab creates a gritty, seething metropolis, one worthy of being compared to Gotham and to the four versions of London in her critically acclaimed fantasy for adults, A Darker Shade of Magic. Her heroes will face monsters intent on destroying them from every side—including the monsters within.

Death Takes Little Bobby Holt Monday
Son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Reed Holt Had Not Been Well For Sometime
Robert Reed Holt, six years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. L. Reed Holt of Fulton, known intimately to all of his many friends in Fulton, young and old, as "Bobby", died at the home of his parents, on Grand street, at 11:15 o'clock, Monday morning.
Bobby had not been well for sometime, but he was not compelled to remain at home, attending school regularly. He was at school for the last time Friday, when his teacher, Miss Ruth Berry of the first grade, noticed that he had taken a sudden sick spell and called his mother to have him taken home, advising her that he was too ill to remain in classes.
His condition became gradually worse and Saturday night he became violently ill. From that time on four physicians were called in, but it was never definately determined as to the nature of his ailment.
The little fellow was a favorite with all. He was especially proud of his first year's record in school, and he never missed attending there or his Sunday school class at the First Christian Church, where his public school teacher, Miss Berry, also was his Sunday school teacher.
Mr. and Mrs. Holt also are ill at their home on Grand street and Bobby's little sister, Mary Katherine, two years old, is ill at the home of her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Holt, on West Eighth street. The condition of none of these is serious at this time.
Bobby also is survived by his maternal grandparents, Dr. and Mrs. Frank J. Nichols of Cetertown, who came to Fulton, Sunday, when his condition became critical.
Funeral services will be conducted at the First Christian Church in Fulton at 2:30 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Dr. W. Garnet Alcorn officiating and burial will be in Hillcrest.
The many friends of the family are deeply grieved at the boy's death and extend sympathy to all of them.

By Author Ty Langston: CRAVE
As a reporter for the Wakefield Post, Harper Erkstine has seen everything. From murders to robberies, all of her recent stories have ended with tragic consequences so great, that she began to question if she made the right career choice for herself.
While all of her friends were dating, or going to clubs, she was winning journalism awards for covering the latest drive-by shooting or a home invasion that cost someone she knew, their lives.
She loved her job, it was rewarding to be a crime solver and get to the truth of the matter. As much as she loved her job, but the hours of a Metro beat reporter began to descend her into burn out mode.
She craved balance. A break, a welcome distraction every now and then. She forgot what it was like to have fun, to take a breath, smell the roses.
Was it wrong to want a great career and to have some kind of a personal life? She couldn’t remember the last time she had a date or danced with someone from the opposite sex.
In the middle of working on a missing person’s story that has rocked her town to the core, Harper decides as a favor to her friend and colleague to do a feature on local an up and coming rock band, called ‘Crave.’
It was a break from her routine, but Harper soon discovers that this band may have ties to the missing person, not only does she question why, but she also finds there is more to this band than just their music.
By Author Riley Ross: The Getaway
The Getaway isn’t your typical romance woman meets man of her dreams, loses him and then they get their happily ever after. It’s a romance story with hints of drama and plenty of comedy. Mike and Juliet have been dating for about four months. Juliet is madly in love with him but has never shared her feelings.
Mike hasn’t said those three magical words so she doesn’t even know if they are on the same page when it comes to their relationship. Mike takes Juliet on a two week vacation, so she can escape her family drama and stresses from her job. He has romantic surprises planned and there are several unexpected surprises for them both. How well do Mike and Juliet really know each other especially when an explosive secret from his past is revealed? Will their relationship survive a visit from his family and his ex-girlfriend? Will the secret destroy them or make them stronger as a couple? His mother has made it clear to everyone that she wants Mike back with his vile ex-girlfriend?
Will his mother sabotage her son’s relationship with Juliet? Juliet does have an ally in Mike’s father. Will Juliet fight for her love? Or will she let him go without exposing his mother for her dastardly schemes? How far will his mom go to ensure she gets what she wants for her son?
By Author Tigris Eden: The Genesis Project
Old earth has been deemed unsuitable for life, New Earth is home. With the Uni-War over, races have joined together in order to sustain their way of life. All life was deemed worth saving, but only one race failed to submit. Humans.
Now extinct, humans are a thing of the past, or at least their way of life. The people of New Earth won’t acknowledge their hand in the human’s eradication, but they have benefited from it. Dr. Vaggo Blackmore has found the answer, he’s restored his races way of life- sustenance through farming. The one thing that will give them back their long lives….. Blood: human blood.
Biologically engineered in a lab, Genesis Blackmore has always been different. Her father has told her it’s due to her enhancements, the Federated Council sees her as a genetic mutation; and her fellow peers see her as the shiny new toy. Gen has had better days.
Everyone on New Earth has milky white skin, platinum blonde hair, and electric blue eyes. It’s the norm. Genesis’ glossy, black hair, ice blue eyes ringed by gold, would have almost made her socially acceptable- if it wasn’t for her honey, almond skin and blue, gold veins. In a sea of milky white she alone is the dark anomaly.
All Pars get their life’s nourishment through blood plasma. All Pars find their match through the tasting. Gen can do neither, forbidden by her father to do so. She can neither taste, nor be tasted. Something that’s never bothered her until now.
One word: CLIFFHANGERS!
Oh, the cliffhangers. I'm not one to pick up anthologies, but.... damn. This was good. In episode # 1 of the Romantic Tales, you're given three different stories by three awesome authors.
When given an assignment, reporter Harper Erkstine finds herself perched on bar stool listening to the sweet savory voice of Cass St. Marie, lead singer of the upcoming band CRAVE. Good music, hot men, and a really bad case of, fuck-me-now-it's-been-forever-and-sing-my-name-with-that-sultry-voice-of-yours. .... No?? Oooh, it just might be me then. Cause, well, you know, hot lead singers that just scream it's-not-rape-if-i'm-willing.... aaand on with the review.
As I'd hate to spoil anything, all I'm going to tell you is that, Crave is a great opener for this fantabulous (fantastic/fabulous?? -- you heard it here first. folks) mini series. Ty Langston slowly leads you into this new world she's created for you. Giving you bits and pieces of the story, characters, and plot at a nice pace that will keep you turning the page (and boy will you be screaming to the high heavens (or on Twitter in ALL CAPS at Ty Langston for throwing a CLIFFHANGER at you). Now, the question is, where will Ms. Langston take you with St. Marie and Harper? Pick up the first episode of the Romantic Bedtime Stories and find out for yourself.
When you start reading The Getaway, you're introduced to a young couple, who's going on a short vacation. A Getaway. Relaxation at its best. Like the blurb says, The Getaway isn't your typical romance. Ms. Ross throws a young, beautiful couple at you and reels you in. Gets you all relaxed and has you loving this romance story that she's feeding you from the palm of her hand. But, that's just where she wants you.
As the pages fly by, more characters are thrown into the mix. Ms. Ross gives you some drama that will have you hovering over the turn page with your mouse, just to see what will happen next. "WTF IS HAPPENING?!.. OH NO SHE DIDN'T" Yepp, that's my reaction towards the end of the first part of The Getaway.
If you love yourself a romance with quirky goodness and drama to have you thinking you're watching a soap opera, then pick up the first episode of Romantic Bedtime Stories and have a go!
THE GENESIS PROJECT
Wow! Just... WOW. I don't even know what to think. The world. The characters. The setting. Everything is completely new and refreshing. Tigris Eden gives you these well thought out characters and settings that are just, well, amazing. To be honest, I haven't read anything like The Genesis Project.
Gens characters is different, she's not like everyone else around her. No siree. She's different and she knows it. Tries to blend in, but she can't help that every male in a 10 foot radius wants her. Why is that refreshing? Well, for one, she's completely naive to it all. Blind to the sexual tension that she's causing. And two, she's still trying to figure out all these feelings that are going through her. What her body is telling her. Non humans in a new Earth. What's not to like?
The Genesis Project throws you for a bit of a loop, is it Sci-fi? Urban Fantasy? Paranormal? Or maybe bits and pieces of all three thrown together to give you something new. Sci-Norm-Fantasy? Heh. Nonetheless, it's great and again with the CLIFFHANGERS!! (I'm slowly dying of cliffhangers disease lol) If you want to get your hands on something new and intriguing, pick up the first episode of Romantic Bedtime Stories and start reading NOW!
Not what I was expecting at all from these three stories. Each story is different. Once you get to the first page, you are now a passenger on this cruise that takes you to different worlds. These stories might be short, but they do leaving you waiting and wanting to pick up the next episode to continue on the journey.

I was such a fan of this book & I'm not a fan of anthologies either, but I think each author did their thing here. Great review Anna :)

Valeggio sul Mincio, Verona, Italy – The Distance Depot/U.S. Endurance Team met the substantial challenges of Saturday’s 2017 FEI World Endurance Championships for Young Riders and Juniors, with three riders completing the course for a successful U.S. team finish. Leading the U.S. team to finish in the 11th position against 16 other national teams, was Chef D’Equipe Mark Dial.
“The entire Team showed a lot of maturity in their riding and professionalism throughout the entirety. There were several obstacles and challenges that were overcome by the athletes and their support staff which led to the success of finishing as a team. The entire team’s preparation was outstanding and I am can’t say enough about their willingness to improve upon their previous successes. Thank you isn’t enough to the Road Crew, Crewmembers, Selectors, and the Veterinary Advisory Group for their unwavering support of the U.S. Endurance Program,” said Dial.
Leading the U.S. across the finish line was Ainsley Suskey (Iola, Wisc.). Riding Julie Jackson’s Princess Deelites MHF, a 10-year-old Arabian mare, Suskey finished 49th overall with a time of 7:40:32. Teammates Annie Whelan (Louisa, Ky.), aboard Amy Wallace-Whelan’s Wallace Hill Leo, a 13-year-old Half-Arabian gelding, and Ragan Kelly (Waco, Texas), riding Tracy Kelly’s HK Kruzier, a 10-year-old Arabian gelding, were not far behind. Whelan completed the course in 8:16:38, finishing in the 53rd position. Overcoming a mishap at the second rest period, Kelly and HK Kruzier finished on a time of 8:16:39, finishing 54th.
Katelyn Baldino (Marietta, Ga.) and Melody Blittersdorf’s Synthetic were unable to complete the race after the third vet check. Dial stated, “Katelyn and Synthetic were primed for this Championship but unfortunately, we had stroke of bad luck which led to their pull for lameness. The pair showed a strong presentation throughout their time here and we can’t thank the Blittersdorf’s and Misty McAdams enough for their care of Synthetic.”

Verona: UAE teen sensation Saeed Al Muhairi was crowned world champion aboard eight-year-old Rabdan at the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI) Meydan World Endurance Championships for Young Riders and Juniors in Verona, Italy, on Saturday.
The 14-year-old Emirati finished ahead of a field of 93 runners, from 15 teams representing 32 countries over 120-km at the Parco Giardino Sigurta, winning in a time of 4 hours, 58 minutes and 41 seconds at an average speed of 24.21-kmph.
A total of 55 riders finished the four loop ride with Al Muhairi leading the pack in three.
At the end of the first loop, which was 38-km long, he finished first but dropped to third on the second loop, which was 33-km long. However, he regained his lead in the third and fourth loops of 27.5-km and 22-km respectively.
This was Al Muhairi’s 17th career start and his 11th in Europe this summer, where he has been preparing for the World Championships. The M7 Endurance stables rider picked up three wins in CEIYJ2* events in Europe leading up to Verona, the most recent coming on September 2 at Euston Park...

Katrin Levermann's stories:
Anya went on her first ride with Kataki yesterday. 20 km along wine yards. Everything went well. Vladimir and Lucia are just awesome supporting us in every way.
Today we took the train to Venezia. Hopped on a Vaporetto (water bus ) to the St Marcus Place and explored Venezia on foot. It was a great adventure. Tomorrow we will pick up Glenn from the airport and head to the ride site to meet Vladimir and Lucia with Kataki. Anya is getting really excited.. More later. Bye for now.
Some updates from us. Today we were walking the streets of Verona. The architecture is fascinating. Just one day wasn't enough to see it all. We took tons of photos. Will post more later. Funny it was to run into Melody 's group and then met Annie on the top of Torre dei Lamberti, the tower of Verona. And we had some really awesome pizza and calzone for dinner. Life is good.

Nintendo Fan Network Delivers Enhanced Features for 2009 Mariners Season
Wireless Service Beams ESPN Content to Nintendo DS Systems
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– During the baseball season, Nintendo will offer Seattle Mariners fans and visitors to Safeco Field new ways to enjoy America’s favorite pastime. To enliven the fan experience, Nintendo has joined forces with ESPN® to deliver enhanced interactive features to the Nintendo® Fan Network, including ESPN’s up-to-the-minute news and analysis, as well as closed-captioning of PA announcements. The entire experience is delivered to fans’ Nintendo DS™ systems through an exclusive Wi-Fi network. Since it debuted in 2007, the Nintendo Fan Network has provided stadium-goers the ability to access information, chat with other fans and even order concessions by using Nintendo DS systems.
Via the Nintendo Fan Network, ESPN will deliver fans Mariners-related news, general sports news and headlines, fantasy sports news and updates, baseball columns from ESPN’s leading columnists, and ESPN Zoom Game, a photo-matching game for sports.
In addition to new features from ESPN, the free Nintendo Fan Network service offers live video broadcast and interactive trivia and games, as well as real-time scores of other baseball games in progress. For added convenience, the Nintendo Fan Network also offers live weather and traffic information, and the unique ability to order food and beverages for delivery directly to the fan’s seat, all with a tap of the stylus on the Nintendo DS system.
Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing, says, “Whether you’re watching live video, ordering food from your seat or checking scores, the Nintendo Fan Network enhances the game-day experience for families and baseball enthusiasts alike.” Howard Lincoln, CEO of the Seattle Mariners, adds, “Our goal is to provide the best possible fan experience at Safeco Field. The Nintendo Fan Network gives users access to features and information that allow them to get the most out of their visit to the ballpark.”
“ESPN has a long heritage of embracing emerging media platforms to deliver unique experiences to fans,” said John Zehr, senior vice president, digital media production and product development. “Our collaboration with the Nintendo Fan Network is a direct extension of the ESPN mission to enliven the sports experience, no matter how or where fans are consuming sports.”
In honor of the new Nintendo DSi™ system, the third iteration of the best-selling Nintendo DS, the Nintendo Fan Network will also offer for the first 150 requesters at each home game a free Nintendo DSi rental for in-game use during the first three months of the season. Launched in North America on April 5, Nintendo DSi lets users customize and personalize their hand-held gaming experiences like never before. With the goal of transforming the way people access, experience, create and share content, the Nintendo DSi comes with two built-in cameras and new audio recording and playback functions.

Your Say Darebin
A great community can only be built with the assistance of our residents, businesses and rate payers. Let us know what you think we could do to improve the City!
Darebin Council is working on a new way of engaging with the community, and we want to hear from you.
Your opinion and ideas matter and we want to make sure you have a voice in our decision making.
To find out more about Council’s Community Engagement Policy and to provide feedback, visit yoursaydarebin.com.au/communityengagementpolicy
Please provide your feedback by 22 January 2021.
Submissions welcome – the public exhibition stage is now open for the proposed changes to the Darebin Planning Scheme (Amendment C170dare)
Darebin’s population is expected to grow from 155,000 in 2016 to more than 230,000 in 2041 and new and upgraded infrastructure such as kindergartens, community centres, sports facilities and more, will be required to meet the needs of the growing community in the future. Council aims to introduce a new Development Contributions Plan in Darebin to ensure the cost of providing essential infrastructure is shared.
In the Council Plan 2017-21, Council committed to creating a new municipal-wide Development Contributions Plan (DCP) which would introduce a levy on new development to help fund new and upgraded infrastructure as our City grows. A DCP is a common tool used by local government to ensure that the cost of providing infrastructure is shared between developers and the wider community on a fair and equitable basis.
To find out more including how to make a submission and for details regarding upcoming information sessions about the proposed DCP visit www.yoursaydarebin.com.au/darebindcp
As part of the Domestic Animal Management Plan 2017-2021, Council is considering introducing a dusk to dawn cat curfew to address cases of cats trespassing and nuisance, and to also limit the impact of cats on the environment and local wildlife.
Feedback on the proposal closed on 7 August 2020. At the meeting on 17 August 2020, Council made the decision to adopt the 7pm-7am cat curfew. The curfew will come into effect on 1 January 2021.
For more information, please visit yoursaydarebin.com.au/catcurfew
Darebin Council strongly believes that community input is critical to good decision making. In 2019 we heard from many people that they want a localised approach to address parking challenges as our City grows.

Parking Change Requests Currently Being Processed
Gillies Street and Railway Place, Fairfield
Feedback during step one of the parking change process returned varied views on how best to handle the challenges observed and measured for this area. This feedback was used to inform the proposed changes.
Council is proposing changes to support access to properties and businesses in the Fairfield Activity Centre and are seeking community feedback on the proposed changes.
Gillies Street, Fairfield
To help manage parking and access in Gillies Street Fairfield, Council is proposing that unrestricted parking on the Eastern side of the road is changed to 2P during the day (from 8am to 6pm).
View this map to see the proposed changes.
Existing conditions for certain areas will remain, including:
Keeping the unrestricted parking on the Western side at all times.
For all areas to continue to be unrestricted overnight from 6pm to 8am.
Keeping existing restricted areas the same.
This would prevent long stay commuters parking on the Eastern side of the street. It would also reduce parking pressure overall in the street because some residents that are eligible for permits would start to use the East side - easing pressure on the West.
Railway Place, Fairfield
To improve access to the activity centre and make parking more convenient for residents and their visitors, Council is proposing:
changes to the unrestricted parking on the north side near Station Street to:
A section of 2P 8am – 6pm on Monday to Saturday
One 15-minute parking space
A future car share space, if a car share provider applies to place a car here
to convert the 1P restrictions on the south side between Gillies Street and Rathmines Street to operate 8am – 6pm on Monday to Saturday only
and introduce one 15-minute parking space
to convert the restrictions on the north side between Gillies Street and Rathmines Street to 3P and operate from 8am – 6pm on Monday to Friday only
We are also proposing to:
keep the 1P parking on the southern side of the road between Gillies Street and Station Street,
keep all areas to be unrestricted overnight from 6pm to 8am, and
keep the disabled parking, bike corral and car share space the same.
A map of the proposed changes is shown here.
How to provide feedback
Your feedback on this proposed parking change is very important to Council. We would appreciate if you undertook Gillies Street survey before 31 January, and our Railiway Place survey by 5 February.
You can also email us your feedback by 5 February to allan.middlemast@darebin.vic.gov.au
If you would like to speak to someone in your preferred language about the proposed changes, please contact us or call 8470 8470 to be connected to a Language Aide or an interpreter.
Drop in sessions
Council officers will be available to chat with in person about the proposed parking changes on 11 January, between 2pm-4pm, and on 27 January, between 3pm-5pm, in Gillies Street.
Once the consultation period has concluded we will consider all feedback and decide whether to proceed with the proposed changes, or whether to adjust them.
To find out about the final decision and when any changes will be made you can watch this space and local residents will receive a letter in their mailbox.

This project has been designed to support hospitality venues safely expand outdoor dining areas into approved public spaces and operate within the health restrictions advised by the Victorian Government.
Applications to extend outdoor dining are being assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration amenity, safety and site-specific conditions such as impacts on residents, as well as the need to maintain social distancing and provide ease of access for pedestrians and essential vehicles. Council will continue to review the temporary permits as needed for safety and amenity.
Businesses wanting to apply for extended outdoor dining can find more information here.
How will I be impacted by these temporary changes?
As part of this project, Council has worked in partnership with local businesses to install parklets - on-road car parking spaces that have been reallocated for outdoor dining use.
We want to ensure the community is aware of the parklets that are being installed within their area. To view a map that contains a list of the parklets that Council has supported through this project, please visit yoursaydarebin.com.au/outdoordining
How can I provide feedback?
Visit yoursaydarebin.com.au/outdoordining to provide your feedback on this project. We welcome feedback on what you think about these temporary measures and other locations you think we should consider parklets and activities. This feedback will help us to ensure that the temporary measures are a good fit for their environment and to inform Council’s future planning for the municipality.
You can also leave your feedback by calling our Customer Service team on 8470 8888 Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
The new Local Government Act 2020 (the Act) marks the first comprehensive overhaul of this key piece of local government legislation in Victoria for over 30 years. A key element of the Act that is required to be adopted by Councils by 1 September 2020 is the Governance Rules. At its meeting on 29 June, Council endorsed for the Draft Governance Rules 2020 to be available for public consultation.
The new Act has a number of requirements across four stages. The first stage of the implementation of the Act introduces a series of Overarching Governance Principles and supporting principles addressing community engagement, public transparency, strategic planning, financial management and service performance.
In addition, Council also considered and endorsed the following draft governance policies and guidelines that are required by the Act, to be available for community feedback:
Draft Councillor Support and Expenses Policy
Draft Public Transparency Policy
Draft Audit & Risk Charter
Draft Instrument of Delegation – Council to the CEO, and
Draft Delegated Committees ( Planning Committee )
Council invites the community to view the Draft Governance Rules 2020 and governance policies and tell us what you think.
Please visit the Darebin Your Say page for more information.
Council is trialling solutions to make it easier and safer to move around Darebin, starting with the installation of our first pop-up bike lane on South Crescent in Northcote.
What’s happened so far?
In response to community need, Council passed a resolution of 29 June 2020 to trial temporary bike lanes in select locations around Darebin. We’ve also successfully advocated to State Government for the installation of the Department of Transport’s first pop-up bike lane in Heidelberg Road nearby.
Following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, notification letters were delivered to residents in South Crescent and adjacent streets, and the lane was installed in mid-December.
Why start with South Crescent?
South Crescent in Northcote was chosen as a great candidate for this trial due to its connectedness to other key bike routes and its proximity to the State Government’s upcoming Heidelberg Road pop-up bike lane.
People use the bike route in South Crescent as an important connection to local shops and schools and to connect to bike routes such as the Merri Creek Trail and St Georges Road. It’s also part of Darebin’s signposted Shimmy backstreet bike network.
Parking data collection over the last four months of the pandemic has shown 5% parking occupancy along the southern side of the street where the bike lane will be installed. This is equivalent to around 19 parking spaces empty out of every 20. Parking data collection in South Crescent and adjacent streets will continue throughout the trial.
To find out more information about Council's pop-up bike lane trial and to provide your feedback, visit yoursaydarebin.com.au/popupbikelanes
We are planning now so that NARC meets the needs of the community in the future
While the Northcote Aquatic and Recreation Centre (NARC) is closed to the public until further notice due to restrictions in place to slow the spread of coronavirus, Council remains committed to planning for the future of this valued community asset.
The redevelopment of NARC is an important project that will boost the local economy and provide many jobs for local people as well as ensure residents have access to a welcoming and innovative space to exercise and socialise.
To find the latest information about this project and to follow its progress, visit the Your Say project page. Here you can find out what’s happened so far, subscribe to receive updates via email, find frequently asked questions and browse the proposed designs for the new facility.
A new project is underway to relocate the Darebin Intercultural Centre.
Over the next few months, Council will work with a Community Reference Group which will provide advice on the future design and programming objectives of the relocated Centre.
In its new centrally located position within the Preston Civic buildings on the corner of High and Gower Streets, the Centre will be a visible expression of Council’s commitment to a more just society.
To stay up-to-date with the project visit, Your Say Darebin.
In 2018, the City of Darebin launched an exciting project to transform part of our local street network into more people-friendly places.
As our city continues to grow, the role and function of our local streets is changing. Darebin City Council is committed to working with our community to help define what our streets will look and feel like in the future.
We are now inviting feedback on the draft proposals for the Preston Activity Link (West) and the Croxton West Place-Making Project. Whether you live locally or just pass through occasionally, we look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Creating a bushland sanctuary, a natural place of welcome, play and retreat in the heart of Reservoir West' is the community’s vision for Darebin’s newest park.
Over the past two years, Council has been working closely with a group of residents to create a vision and master plan for your new park.
The Reimagining Ruthven draft master plan outlines a vision to guide the transformation of the former Ruthven Primary School into a native park in Reservoir West, over the next 20- 30 years.
The consultation period is now closed. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback to the Reimagining Ruthven draft master plan.
We are currently reviewing all comments received to help inform final changes to the master plan.
The final Reimagining Ruthven master plan will be presented back to Council for adoption in April 2020.
You can check out the draft master plan by visiting www.yoursaydarebin.com.au/ruthven
Submissions now open - Council is proposing to increase the open space levy to ensure Darebin continues to be a great place to live.
We are proposing to change the planning scheme to enable Council to collect a higher open space levy from developers.
As the city grows, and housing density increases, an increased open space levy will help ensure our neighbourhoods have the green open space that the community needs.
The open space levy is a fee paid to Council by property owners who wish to subdivide land (some exemptions apply).
The proposal to increase the levy is a key action from Council’s new Breathing Space: The Darebin Open Space Strategy and the Council Plan 2017-2021.
We are now accepting submissions to Planning Scheme Amendment C186dare, which proposes to increase the open space levy. Anyone can make a submission to the Amendment.
Submissions in response to the proposed increase can be made until 16 December 2019.
For more information and to find out details for upcoming community drop-in sessions, click on the link below.
The Independent Panel has finalised the Age Friendly Darebin report
On 22 July 2019, Darebin City Council endorsed the Age Friendly Darebin final report and majority of its recommendations. This is a big step in Darebin’s Age Friendly journey.
This reinvestment of ‘aged services resources’ in ‘Age Friendly’ initiatives is a milestone for Darebin and the recommendations endorsed by Council provide unique opportunities to refocus how Darebin City Council will continue to build and invest in inclusive communities for all residents, regardless of age or ability.
Visit the Your Say Darebin webpage for more information and to read the full report.
Whether you’re a first time shopper or have been trading for generations, the Market is the beating heart of Preston. The market has served us for 49 years and will continue to feed our families, be a familiar meeting place for friends and play a central role in the lives of locals in Preston.
The State Government and the market landowner are making plans to change Preston Market and the site around it and to provide new housing, jobs and shops.
The Victorian Planning Authority is reviewing the town planning requirements for the precinct. This review will result in new planning controls including a new structure plan – which set out requirements for any future development.
Council has been working intensively to ensure the voice of the community is heard throughout this review. We’re working hard to ask the State Government and developer to protect critical elements, including the market’s unique identity, its heritage, and its existing traders before, during and after redevelopment.
Council was surprised to recently learn that the Victorian Government has decided to nominate the Preston Market Precinct for ‘fast tracking’ of the review of planning controls. Council was not consulted or informed about this decision beforehand.
Council’s endorsed objectives and key elements set out the things that must happen for a future Preston Market Precinct to be a place for everyone, and create a liveable, safe, sustainable precinct. The objectives and key elements of the Heart of Preston will be used as a tool to assess any future plans or development proposals and identify any risks to the viability or character of the market, or suboptimal planning outcomes for the broader precinct. Council is calling for a package of strong protections to be built into the planning process.
For more information on the VPA's plans, please visit their website.
For more information on the Heart of Preston and what Council is asking the VPA and developer to commit to, please click here.
On Tuesday 11 June, Darebin Council voted unanimously to withdraw its draft Parking Strategy which was released for community feedback in May.
Council strongly believes that community input is critical to good decision making and the decision not to proceed is a clear demonstration that this Council will always listen to our community.
We would like to sincerely thank everyone in our community who took the time to share their views.
Council is upgrading Playspaces in Thornbury and Macleod as part of the Darebin Playspace Strategy 2010-2020 and Council's commitment to improving six playgrounds a year.
Thornbury and Macleod residents – share your thoughts on playspaces in your local area. This is part of the City of Darebin’s commitment to improve parks and reserves for the community to enjoy, and as identified in the Playspace Strategy (2010-20).
We are undertaking some concept design to understand how the playspace at The Village Common Springthorpe can be improved in the future.
Some recommendations for the playspace improvements include:
- Minor improvements to the existing playspace area.
- New accessible swings for all ages and all abilities.
- Inclusion of natural play materials.
- An increase in the number of canopy tree plantings.
- Outdoor green gym and exercise equipment

Central Preston is a vibrant area that is in the midst of change. In response, Council has initiated a community visioning process called Future Preston.
Hundreds of Darebin locals have had their say on the future of Central Preston this year, by taking part in our pop-up stands, survey and the Future Preston Summit.
We’ve collected all of this information and created the ‘Future Preston – Community Directions’ report, which will help guide Council’s development of a precinct plan for Central Preston.
To make sure this report reflects what you’ve told us, we invite you to read the report and share your feedback through our survey.
For more information and to complete the survey, please visit:
We'd like to hear your views on whether Council-owned land at 52-60 Townhall Avenue, Preston should be offered on a long term lease for affordable housing.
We are committed to ensuring Darebin is an inclusive and affordable place to live, and are working to increase the supply of affordable housing in the municipality. The proposed use of this site for an affordable housing development presents an exciting opportunity for Council to take leadership and action in response to the housing crisis.
We haven't made a decision on whether the land will be leased and are seeking the community's views to help ensure we make the right decision.
Visit Affordable Housing Preston for more information and to have You Say about this proposal.

In the spirit of reconciliation with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, Council has resolved to consult with the community with support from the Traditional Owners of the land now known as Darebin (the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation) on renaming some places in Darebin, commencing with Batman Park in Northcote and the Federal electoral division of Batman.
Renaming Batman Park
With support from Wurundjeri Elders from the Wurundjeri Tribal Land Compensation and Cultural Heritage Council ('Wurundjeri Council') we held four community consultations to illuminate the many connections between the Aboriginal heritage and history of this area, and to hear the community's feedback on the renaming.
Following extensive community consultation, Darebin City Council formally endorsed ‘Gumbri’ as the preferred name for Batman Park.
The name Gumbri has endorsement by The Wurundjeri Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council Aboriginal Corporation Wurundjeri Corporation.
Gumbri, also known as Jessie Hunter, was a much loved and respected Wurundjeri Elder. Her name means 'white dove' in Woi wurrung, the traditional language of the Wurundjeri people. She was the last girl born on the Coranderrk Aboriginal Reserve in Healesville and she had a great passion for Wurundjeri people and Country with a special interest in bush foods and medicines.
Overall, the community expressed:
A positive response to the potential renaming of Batman Park to recognise the traditional owners
A high level of respect for the experience and wisdom of Wurundjeri Elders
A desire for recognition of John Batman to be retained in some way within the park
Support for constitutional recognition, recognition of Traditional Owners, reconciliation, and a potential treaty
A high level of interest in accessing local places and spaces to learn more about the Aboriginal history, living culture, spirituality and heritage of Darebin
A desire to retain the visibility of Batman in some form within the Park, keeping all layers of history visible and ensuring continued and respectful acknowledgement of the past.
Outcome of Statutory Process for renaming Batman Park to Gumbri Park - Update as of 17 July 2018
The final process for name change was submission to the Office of Geographic Names as part of the statutory process set out under the Geographical Place Naming Act 1988.
Council has now received a formal response from the Office of Geographic Names. While the Office of Geographic Names acknowledged both the Wurundjeri Council and the support of the community to recognise Jessie Hunter (Gumbri), the proposal was not approved under the naming rules for places in Victoria. The Office have indicated they are supportive of Batman Park being renamed and recommended that Council seek to adopt an alternative name. Council will now look at renaming options moving forward in consultation with the Wurundjeri Council.
Read our Media release, Proposal to Rename Batman Park to Gumbri Park.
Council’s submission can be viewed on the Office of Geographic Names website.
Does this mean that the name of Batman Park will definitely change?
Despite the recent outcomes of statutary rocess, Council is committed to renaming of the park and will continue to engage with the Traditional Owners and Darebin community in the planning, design and implementation of permanent signage for the main park entry. The process will consider feedback provided during the earlier community conversations.
The renaming is more than just a replacement of one name with another. In the spirit of reconciliation, Darebin City Council, Wurundjeri Council and the Darebin Aboriginal Advisory Committee are committed to ensuring that the life and legacy of John Batman is still visible in the park alongside the multiple stories and histories of the park that enhance our city.
For the time being, Council has removed the Batman Park archway following recent damage to the sign. The sign has been removed to protect it from further damage, ensure the area surrounding the entrance is safe to pedestrians and to ensure its safekeeping for possible future use within the park once the proposed park renaming is approved.
Renaming the Federal Electorate of Batman
The federal electorate of Batman was created in 1906, replacing the Division of Northern Melbourne. Batman is located in Melbourne’s northern suburbs and stretches through three local government areas: Yarra, Darebin and Whittlesea (Yarra and Darebin make up the majority of the division).
It takes in Alphington, Clifton Hill, Fairfield, Kingsbury, Northcote, Preston, Reservoir and Thornbury, and parts of Bundoora, Coburg North, Macleod and Thomastown. It covers an area of approximately 66sq kilometres from Thomastown/Bundoora in the north to Clifton Hill in the south, with Merri Creek providing the vast majority of the western boundary, and the eastern boundary provided by Darebin Creek, parts of Macleod and Plenty Road in Bundoora.
Of the 37 federal electoral divisions in Victoria, nine are named in Aboriginal languages: Ballarat, Corangamite, Corio, Indi, Jaga Jaga, Kooyong, Mallee, Maribyrnong, and Wannon.
In November 2017 Darebin City Council, together with the Wurundjeri Tribe Land and Compensation Cultural Heritage Council and Yarra City Council, lodged a joint submission calling for the renaming of the Federal Electorate of Batman to the federal electorate of Simon Wonga.
Update as at 20 June 2018
The augmented Electoral Commission for Victoria has announced the outcome of its deliberations on the names and boundaries of the 38 federal electoral divisions in Victoria, see Redistribution Committee's Recommendations. Following deliberation, written objections and comments as well as information presented at the inquiries in Winchelsea and Melbourne which Darebin Council attended, the Electoral Commission unanimously agreed to rename the Division of Batman to recognise William Cooper. The names and boundaries of of the federal electoral divisions for Victoria will apply from Friday 13 July 2018.
We welcome the Electoral Commission’s decision to rename the federal electoral Division of Batman to Cooper. This is a landmark decision, showing that at a national level, we are recognising our First Nations people.
Read our FAQ, Regarding Federal Electoral Division of Batman Renaming for questions about our position on the renaming.
Mr Cooper was a spokesman for Aboriginal people who, as secretary of the Australian Aborigines League presented a petition and led deputations to authorities, calling for direct representation in parliament, enfranchisement, land rights and federal control of Aboriginal affairs.
In 1938 Mr Cooper lodged a personal protest against the treatment of European Jews in Nazi Germany following Kristallnacht.
See the AEC website for details on the redistribution outcomes and for Electoral Redistribution Timeframes.
Darebin Council does not have the authority to change the name of the Batman electorate; the AEC has sole responsibility for this decision.
Why did Council want to change the name of the electorate of Batman?
The renaming of the electorate of Batman reflects the spirit and intent of Council’s Aboriginal Action Plan and our commitment to reconciliation, building on work between Council and the Aboriginal communities connected to Darebin.
Our work in this area shows respect for Traditional Owners, acknowledges our shared history and recognises the land as vital to Aboriginal communities’ cultural, spiritual and physical identity.
Council's position on why the name of Batman should not be retained for the federal electorate.
Darebin Council will continue to explore opportunities to recognise Simon Wonga in recognition and out of respect to the Wurundjeri Elders who originally proposed that the electorate be named this respected leader.

We have committed to creating a masterplan for Mayer Park and need the community's help to design it!
Significant community support and advocacy by local residents and users of the park combined with Council’s commitment to the Council Plan Darebin 2021 Goal 1.3 has resulted in Council endorsing an innovative community-led design approach to create a master plan for Mayer Park in Thornbury.
What is Council doing?
We have formed a Project Control Group made up of local community members to help design and develop the Mayer Park Master Plan. The group have named themselves the Mayer Park Community Group (MPCG) and is chaired by a Darebin Rucker Ward Councillor. The MPCG has been tasked with formulating the community engagement process to gather community feedback, as well as develop the master plan.

Elect Holly Back for City of North Vancouver Council
Why I'm Running
At just under five square miles, and with a diverse population of around 53,000, the City of North Vancouver is a compact community. And, our community is in the midst of change. One that is bringing a renewed vibrancy to many parts of the city – from increased housing choices, to expanded green spaces and walkways, to family-oriented gathering spots, and wonderful recreational opportunities.
However, no matter how positive, change can present some challenges. We need strong Council leadership to guide us through this age of renewal and to ensure that we effectively manage challenges that arise along the way. Working to reduce traffic and congestion. Managing density, while providing housing options for all life stages. Working with business owners to maintain a prosperous business community. I feel that the role of Councillor is to represent the diversity of our community, to be the liaison with our citizens, community groups, and other levels of government.
During my last four years on Council, we have made some important decisions that will carry us through for generations. But our work isn’t done. With your support, I will continue to build on that momentum, incorporate your thoughts and ideas, and bring my business-minded and common-sense approach to work for our community.
Here are some examples of our achievements during my last term:
Completion of the Spirit Trail and Green Necklace
Implementation of laneway housing
Working to legalize secondary suites in duplexes
Rejuvenation of Lower Lonsdale and waterfront
New Polygon Gallery
Funding and construction of new museum
New artificial turf soccer fields
New purpose built rental housing
Planning started for the new Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre and Seniors Centre

Neffos Launches Smartphones Models with AI from RM599!
Neffos unveils X9, C9, C9A. C7A Smartphones Models with AI Face Unlocking Technology
I attended Neffos smartphone new models launching last week. Never I expect Neffos has incorporated artificial intelligence face recognition unlocking system into their newly launched smartphones model with comparable rate! Face recognition is one of a new add-on as a secure authentification to ensure your data in the smartphone is keeping safe. Whether you noticed or not, newly launched smartphones this year onwards have face unlocking system!
Well, one of the important functions of the smartphone is taking pictures. The resolution and beautification feature in the smartphone is most probably someone will consider when buying a smartphone. The problem lies in how to balance both when you want to have a clear nice resolution picture when taking a scenery while you need a beautification function while taking a portrait so that you look flawless with it? The answer is a dual rear camera built in the smartphone. Neffos X9 has it!
Neffos X9 smartphone specifications
The new Neffos X9 boasts an advanced dual-camera system around the back and a large Full-View Display on the front — and incorporates them into an attractive polycarbonate body with a premium metallic look and feel.
Built for capturing moments that matter, the Neffos X9 is equipped with 13- and 5-megapixel rear cameras, and 8-megapixel camera on the front. It comes equipped with phase-detection auto-focus while the f/2.0 aperture lens allows for greater depth of field, resulting in a more dramatic effect.
Sporting a massive 5.99-inch Full-View touch display, it runs at HD+ resolution using in-cell technology and engineered to deliver a sharper and more vivid picture.Designed with user comfort and convenience in mind, the Neffos X9 has a fingerprint sensor on the back and face unlock with the latest AI technology incorporated into the front camera, capable of scanning over 100 different facial details to pixel-level accuracy.
The Neffos X9 will come in two variants, 3GB RAM with 32GB internal storage and 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage. Both variants will be available in two colours – Space Black and Moonlight Silver. The Neffos X9 3GB with 32GB internal storage variant is now available in stores in Malaysia at an amazing retail price of RM599, meanwhile the Neffos X9 4GB with 64GB internal storage variant will be available at the end of August for RM799.

Neffos C9 and C9A smartphone specifications
The C9 features an 8-megapixel Softlight Camera on the front, while the C9A has been outfitted with a 5-megapixel Softlight Camera that captures your face in the best way possible, be it at night or in a dimly lit environment.
Equipped with the 13-megapixel rear camera's lower-aperture lens and phase-detection auto-focus system, the Neffos C9 and C9A can capture sharp and detailed photos from day to night.
Both models come in generous sizes, with the C9 and C9A sporting 5.99- and 5.45-inch screens, respectively, featuring an impressive 18:9 aspect ratio and HD+ resolutions.
Both the C9 and C9A will be available in two colours – Cloudy Grey and Moonlight Silver. The Neffos C9A is now available in stores nationwide at an affordable price of RM429 while the Neffos C9 will be available at the end of August 2018, priced at RM479.
Neffos C7A smartphone specifications
The Neffos C7A is yet another fantastic budget entry that promises uncompromised design and performance backed up by an attractive price point.
It is powered by a 64-bit, quad-core processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of local storage. It comes pre-installed with the latest Android 8.1 Oreo, along with a number of new customizations and UI changes as well as the latest security patches.

The C7A will be available in Grey colour and will available in stores in Malaysia at the end of August 2018 retailing at RM359.
Coming soon! Smartphone with Laser Projector Feature!
Neffos P1
The latest and most exciting addition to the Neffos family, the new and groundbreaking Neffos P1 boasts a built-in projector for viewing HD content on a wall with a screen size of up to 200 inches.
To project content directly from the hardware, the P1 uses American military-grade micro-electro-mechanical system or MEMS laser technology and a three-color beam light to produce a clear and high-resolution picture on a flat wall or screen.
To produce the most vivid and detailed picture possible, the Neffos P1 achieves a contrast ratio of 5,000:1, which is much higher than what a standard digital-light-processing or DLP projector is capable of producing. The typical DLP projector has a native contrast ratio of 400:1. The Neffos P1's superior contrast ratio allows for striking visuals in high definition.
The small MEMS projector built into the Neffos P1 also consumes less power, enabling the device to project an image continuously for up to four hours on a single charge of the 4,000mAh battery.
And incredibly, despite housing a projector that can throw a 200-inch image to a wall or screen, the P1 is only 10mm thick and weighs only 203 grams. Those particulars make for a portable and lightweight smartphone-slash-projector that can slip into a person's pocket or bag easily.

What's a Good Gamist Game?
Author Topic: What's a Good Gamist Game? (Read 32034 times)
Re: What's a Good Gamist Game?
I would say I find some of those points debatable whether or not they are present in D&D, and I'd say some are a matter of taste, some are a matter of play technique, but there are some issues in there I'll certainly agree with you. (Stacking bonuses, battles lasting too long.)
Some of these issues can be resolved with house rules- personally 3d6 vs d20 is not a dealbreaker for me, but I think that's a swap that's easy to implement and falls within the realm of 'still undeniably D&D.' Other forums have extensively thought how to speed up combats, and spicing them up so they don't all follow the same path is something that comes with practice.
However, let's face facts: crunchy game design, ones with lots of powers and bennies to pick from (whatever you name them) takes a lot of effort. That's why the indie-community largely hasn't touched it: we don't have the resources. (Some exceptions certainly exist, Burning Wheel being the most evident; but it's not a gamist design by any means.) So it falls to the big companies to produce the crunchy designs, and these are rarely designed with a coherent focus.
There are a lot of games that can produce functional crunchy-bits gamist play: Exalted and Weapons of the Gods/Legends of the Wulin are probably my favorites in that regard, but they have their own system warts and weren't even designed to be played with the same gamist intensity that went into D&D 4th. For the hard core crunchy gamist, they pretty much have to hack and drift, and that doesn't matter if you're starting with GURPS or HERO or D&D: the most recent version of D&D just gets you there faster.

That's the thing though--the RNG in 4e isn't tight enough that 3d6 would be possible with the scaling +1s. People can already fall off the RNG on a d20 with those stacking bonuses, making the RNG smaller and more weighted towards the middle would just exacerbate the problem, making it not only worse, but also noticeable much faster.
I'm actually going through the process of creating my own gamist RPG with the design goals that are evident throughout my post thus far in mind, but I was wondering if I was reinventing the wheel, and if there might be something out there already that I could use instead of doing all the work to make a good, balanced system (which is thus far still tons of work).

Quote from: Ghostwheel on April 30, 2012, 02:58:13 PM
Some of my problems with D&D 4e:
Abilities feel very standardized from what I've played (I've only been in 4-5 games thus far, though one or two only lasted a few sessions), so people feel very similar.
Battles feel like they last too long. Battles in my opinion should last 4-8 rounds, it feels like they last 10-20 rounds in 4e which can easily lead to boredom.
Battles seem to follow the same template almost every time. First few rounds you use encounter powers, after that you spam your at-wills until the end of the battle, which gets boring.
Tied to the last one, it's impossible to regain powers with actions (or some other way) to create tactical options with more depth.
The RNG is still based around a d20, so even if you get an advantage like moving just into position to get combat advantage, for many characters it doesn't make a difference.
Damage-wise, some characters feel much more powerful than others, even when they're supposed to A. fill the same role, and B. the less-damaging characters lack anything extra (like a status effect) to make them better.
Newbie traps still exist, things that look cool but are in fact a waste of resources which newbies take and don't make them any better.
There are many monsters that don't have a specific defense which is low enough to make much of a difference on a d20 RNG.
Lack of customizability of classes and multiclassing.
Scaling ability scores to the point where defenses can fall off the RNG on one side or another.
Lack of resource management which creates a lack of options in risk vs. reward
There being enough small bonuses that you can rack up in various ways that lead to falling off the RNG.
Races still shoehorn classes into them if you want to be viable.
The 15-minute workday still being present in 2 aspects - daily powers, and healing surges. Once someone begins to run out of either, they call a halt to rest.
I've seen most of these problems pointed out before, and some I have encountered myself. Some have easy solutions and some don't, and I don't think it's possible to solve all of them at once, but maybe enough of them can be removed or reduced enough that you can find 4E enjoyable.
I won't go through all of them but I'll try to hit the big ones.
Character feeling "samey" is a common complaint. I don't see it myself, but it's true that compared to 3.x the design space for the powers in 4E is tighter. (Personally I find this an advantage as it makes for fewer weird special cases to remember.) It's less of an issue with the classes introduced later (PHB2-3 and Essentials), I think, as they have more unique mechanics.
Are you using the monsters from the MM1 and MM2? There were some problems with the math there - too many hit points, sometimes too high defenses. The ones from MM3 and the Monster Vaults are vastly better in this regard, and generally more fun. (There are some fairly simple changes you can make to the earlier monsters, particularly solos, to make them less "huge bag of hp"-like.) A more radical variant I've seen proposed is to cut hp in half, either for just the monsters or for monsters and PCs both, or allowing a single hit to eliminate a monster that's been bloodied.
As for combats feeling like they follow the same pattern, using interesting environments is key. A fight that takes place mostly in darkness (apart from what light the PCs bring), or partly underwater, or in tight spaces all make for different combats. Yes, on the most abstracted level you'll still usually be using up your encounter powers before going to the at-wills (with Twin Strike Rangers being a clear exception), but once you have a few encounter powers that still leaves a number of permutations. With shorter battles this also becomes less of an issue.
There are a few items and feats that allow recharging of encounter powers, usually in specific situations.
I'm not sure which classes you feel are imbalanced when it comes to damage output vs other abilities. I think it's generally accepted that the archer Ranger does more damage than other strikers and the Fighter can be built to do a lot of damage, but in my experience there's nothing like the Fighter/Caster gap in 3.x.
Multiclassing is indeed weak if you're not using the hybrids from PHB3. I don't think it's fair to say that customizability within classes is lacking, though - again, compared to 3.x, anyone but a full caster will have more options, often many, many more.
There is some class/race synergy, but with the class-race combo feats from the various Power books and the alternative ability scores that were published... somewhere (Dragon, I think? I have a printout somewhere; I'm sure they can be found on the net.) there are more viable combinations than it may first seem.
The 15 minute workday has been discussed extensively, and several solutions have been proposed. One is restricting the access to extended rests; another is using a more gradual, encounter-based recovery mechanic.

Hi Ghostwheel,
This is just a placeholder post 'til I get off work, but I wanted to say that there's some things I'd like to discuss here. I'm working on a D&D-inspired game right now and, while the stuff you're looking for doesn't line up 100% with what I'm looking for, I'd like to compare notes. I'll be back!

Moderating time!
Hey - stop with the D&D 4E chit-chat, already. That content needs to be restricted to what's immediately relevant to the discussion.
Seriously, there are hundreds of places on the internet where you can go to vent or enthuse about this-or-that feature of this-or-that iteration of role-playing that goes by that name. Bring this thread back to a focused topic.
Best, Ron
So Ron, does my last on-topic reply help at all? I'm still not sure if I'm reinventing the wheel or covering new ground, and if a wheel is already invented, I'd rather use that instead of going through the massive amounts of work needed to finish this system I've been working on.
Callan S.
Ghostwheel, has your PC ever died whilst playing 4e? Even then, did it default that resurrections were available? The only real way to lose (rather than just hit a speed bump) is a TPK, which you call very bad news. Even then if you make a new character at one level lower (or more so, at the same level), it's still little more than a speed bump.
I'm a great believer that statistically the average will eventually come out, and it just means that if the system is tight enough and works well mathematically that it won't result in something that leads to Very Bad News (like a TPK or something similar)
But really the average needs to result in a TPK? Otherwise all the manouvering for bonuses does not matter. If the average is set towards you winning, you can just ride the bell curve to victory, no manouvering required?
And as I said before, the length of these games distorts the idea of winning and losing. To go up a ladder in snakes and ladders does not mean you've won snakes and ladders. Each battle in D&D is really just a ladder (or regular die roll advancement) in a much larger, singular game session.
the possibility of losing permanently looming closer
What do you mean by this? What rules for PC death were you using?

Wait... are we still talking about 4e...? If so, it's on your head if the moderator doesn't like this... :-P
As for your questions...
Quote from: Callan S. on May 01, 2012, 06:08:09 PM
My PC has never died while playing in 4e... mostly because they never even came close to dying, what with how powerful healing and buffs were, and only rarely did we need to spend a healing surge as long as the DM followed the encounter guidelines in the DMG. The DM (who was a bit newish to 4e as well in the one game I'm thinking of) finally got frustrated that everything was a cakewalk, and started throwing higher-level monsters at us which started to get to the point where we could barely hit things, and almost always got auto-hit, and the campaign soon ended after that.
Honestly, however, I don't see how that makes the slightest difference. The problems with 4e are far deeper than just how often you die (as I mentioned in my previous post), and to compound that, I don't like death being a speedbump. Making a new character is just as bad, since it disrupts the story and disconnects a player from something they're engaged and devoted to.
Wait... what are you talking about? I don't know if this is non sequiter, or if I'm misunderstanding you, or if English is a second language for you, but I don't understand what it is you're asking. The average should be set towards the middle, neither winning nor losing, so that tactics matter and tip the scale to one side, or very stupid mistakes can lead to loss. Obviously loss does not mean a TPK, and there are safety nets to ensure that small mistakes don't automatically result in a loss, but I don't really see where you're going with this...
Again, I don't like the "death is a speedbump" mentality, and prefer that players lose without dying if it can be finagled, or alternatively if they have to die (heroic sacrifice, jumped into lava, etc) that they can't just easily be brought back to life--that death matters.
Again... I'm just not seeing your point :-/ Could you clarify what you mean, and/or what your point is?
Making a new character is just as bad, since it disrupts the story and disconnects a player from something they're engaged and devoted to.
Well, this might be pivotal to the discussion if in priority it's ahead of events like a character dying. Apart from character death, the mechanics of D&D really don't have any losing conditions built into them.
The average should be set towards the middle
I honestly don't believe with such a complicated system it can be perfectly set to the middle - it's either towards the middle but on the winning side, or towards the middle but on the TPK side. Really in gamist terms, the more it's set towards the TPK side, the more of a challenge/a thrown down gauntlet it is (the more tactics it takes to get bonuses to counteract that tipping), in a 'oh yeah, well, we can take that' way (or in the internet parlance 'Challenge accepted'). If it being set towards TPK as just not making any sense to you, then atleast in how I use the word 'gamism', gamism might be a secondary priority to you? And something else comes in at first priority? Probably to do with what you mention above in terms of the story and what the players are devoted to. That's my hypothesis, anyway. Doesn't mean it's an apt hypothesis.
Obviously loss does not mean a TPK, and there are safety nets to ensure that small mistakes don't automatically result in a loss
and prefer that players lose without dying if it can be finagled
Well, what is 'loss' or 'lose' when you say it? Could you describe what you mean by it a bit more?
My snakes and ladders example is there to show that going down a snake is not losing (in how I use the word), but because a single D&D game runs over multiple sessions, it distorts this and it appears players have 'lost' a session, when it's merely a snake.
Not perfectly--but as near as can be. That said, when there need to be tendencies, they need to be set in the PCs' favor so that they don't have a good chance of dying every fight.
And losses can be done in a myriad of ways. For example, if you're beaten by goblins or ogres, the party wakes up in jail cells, their enemy wanting to eat them soon, and from there they can make a daring escape. Or if they were beaten by an evil wizard, they might wake up in vats of arcane liquid ready to be experimented on. Or if they are beaten by a devil, the devil may force them to do it a favor rather than killing them. Or if they fail to kill the dragon, it might kidnap the princess, kill the king, and fly off.
So yeah, there are lots of ways to "lose" without actually having a TPK.
To get deeper into what you're looking for...
Why? Why can't it be set against the PC's (the players) favour, because they will use a number of tactics to grant mechanical bonuses that when added on, that slants the thing towards them winning? Which would also ensure that they don't have a good chance of dying every fight.
Do the other players in your group use tactics much?
Do you want it that you don't have to use tactics, you just can, if you wish, to maybe 'win more', so to speak?

Ghostwheel,
you might like Iron Heroes by Mike Mearls. It's a variant of 3rd edition D&D with a focus on making tactical, non-magical combat more interesting. All classes but one are different kinds of fighters, and the game is playable without any kind of magic, including magic items.
The quality of Iron Heroes is probably one of the reasons why Mearls got to be the lead developer of 4th edition D&D.
Do your adventures have time limits? Seems to me that gamist play with D&D does not function very well without strict, story-specific time limits. The resource management aspect suffers if you can just sleep after every battle. It's more fun if there are other ways to lose besides getting killed. (For example, your relatives keep dying of necro-plague because you couldn't find the cure in time.)

Something I was thinking about, regarding this issue, is that the duration of conditions could be expanded in a much more tactical sense. What if instead of a fixed duration (one round per level, until the end of the round, until the end of the encounter) or a randomized duration (save ends) the default duration of a condition was "until termination", meaning roughly "until it makes sense for the condition to stop", or more operatively "until you do something to end it". This would be on the player side of things, of course. Player abilities would have fixed or random duration because the DM is a cheating bastard is not a perfectly impartial judge of events in all situations, and deciding whether or not monsters find a way to terminate their condition could lead to problems (or not, of course).
Tactics are all about choices, and this paradigm augments the meaning and impact of choices by forcing you to decide when to attempt to stop a condition and when to let it be. Also, it rewards intelligent and creative gameplay because terminating a condition in creative ways could cost less or have a greater chance of success. It is a bit DM-reliant, because it's very open-ended, but with good guidelines on what should constitute a termination attempt and how effective termination attempts should be, it would probably be ok for most groups. What do you think about it?
(also hello everyone ;) )

Ban on mangoes turns sour in India-EU trade
The ban imposed by the European Union on the import of Alphonso mangoes and four varieties of vegetables from India until December 2015 after some consignments were found infested with “non-European fruit flies” has naturally upset India. As the biggest producer of the golden fruit, India sends about 70,000 tonnes of mangoes abroad every year. Yet, merely insisting that the 28-member bloc’s action is “unilateral… without any meaningful official consultation,” as Commerce Minister Anand Sharma has done, will not do. The EU had notified India in March of its concerns. Whether the Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority, which is tasked with ensuring that items of export are compliant in terms of sanitary and phyto-sanitary standards as set down by importing countries, was able to fully address them effectively, remains unclear. It is also to be noted that scores of consignments of mangoes and vegetables shipped in 2013 had been found to be contaminated. Periodic problems that come up with respect to shrimp exports over contamination concerns, are relevant here. India certainly needs to put in place fool-proof mechanisms for the examination and certification of export commodities to remove such taints once and for all. Necessary correctives need to be worked out with the involvement of technical and scientific bodies in order that in the lucrative but competitive export markets the country would establish its reputation as a reliable partner meeting health and phyto-sanitary standards.
On its part, the EU should ensure that any cause for a perception of its decision being an unfair one which smacks of a punitive approach and that would potentially jeopardise India-EU trade, is avoided. As the Minister has pointed out, the ongoing negotiations for a broad-based India-EU trade and investment agreement is based on the premise of trust and understanding to put in place a more liberal trade regime. Brussels should note Indian domestic concerns and invoke the necessary correctives on the basis of an appropriate assessment of risks. If it is indeed possible that sections of the EU bureaucracy see here a leveraging factor in the context of talks on a Free Trade Agreement, as also other bilateral issues, that will amount to unfairness. Although Europe is not a major market for Indian mangoes — it accounts for 16 million tonnes annually — any ban typically pulls down prices. About 80 per cent of the exports from India go to West Asia. What India should do is to strengthen its bargaining position by raising export standards and leave no quarter to be found remiss. The entire ecosystem for exports, involving farmers, packers and exporters of agri-commodities, should be geared to meet the quality and safety requirements of countries across the world.

Private Indian Hospitals Made 200-2000% Profits On The Backs Of Patients: Report
New Delhi: The Max Hospital in Saket has administered plasma therapy on a critical coronavirus patient and it’s showing positive results with the patient being taken off ventilator support, the hospital said on Monday.
The 49-year-old man became the first patient to be administered plasma therapy at the Max Hospital (East Wing) here, the hospital said in a statement.
In convalescent plasma therapy, the antibodies of a person who has recovered from the virus are taken and transfused into a sick person (having the virus) to help boost the person’s immune system.
The patient from Delhi had tested positive for Covid-19 on April 4 and was admitted on the same day to the coronavirus facility at the Max Hospital with moderate symptoms and a history of fever and respiratory issues.
“His condition deteriorated during the next few days and he soon required external oxygen to maintain saturation. He also developed pneumonia with Type I respiratory failure and had to be put on ventilator support on April 8,” the hospital said.
When the patient showed no improvement, his family members requested the hospital to administer plasma therapy on compassionate grounds, a first of its kind treatment modality that is being used for the disease in India.
“The family came forward to arrange a donor for extracting plasma. The donor had recovered from the infection (confirmed by two consecutive negative reports) three weeks ago and again tested Covid-19 negative at the time of donation along with other standard tests to rule out infections like Hep B, Hep C and HIV,” the hospital said.
The critically ill patient was administered fresh plasma as a treatment modality as a side-line to the standard treatment protocols on the night of April 14, it said.
“After receiving the treatment, the patient showed progressive improvement and by the fourth day, he was weaned off ventilator support on the morning of April 18 and continued on supplementary oxygen thereafter,” it added.
The hospital said the man has been shifted to a room with round-the-clock monitoring facility.
“He has started taking oral feed since Sunday and is faring well,” it said.
Speaking on the success of the first case administered under plasma therapy at the hospital, Sandeep Budhiraja, Group Medical Director, Max Healthcare, and Senior Director, Institute of Internal Medicine, said the case opened a new treatment opportunity during these challenging times.
“We are delighted that the therapy worked well in his case, opening a new treatment opportunity during these challenging times. But it is important that we also understand that plasma therapy is no magic bullet. During the patient’s treatment at the Max Hospital, other standard treatment protocols were followed and we can say that plasma therapy could have worked as a catalyst in speeding up his recovery,” Budhiraja said.
He also said the recovery cannot be attributed 100 per cent to the therapy.
“We cannot attribute 100 per cent recovery to plasma therapy only, as there are multiple factors which carved his path to recovery,” he said.
He further added that in a country like India, a therapy of such kind has a good potential to help Covid-19 patients who have disease severity, which fits into moderate to severe categories.
“Government regulations should work towards making it more accessible for hospitals across the country to be able to use it. One donor can donate 400 ml of plasma which can save two lives, as 200 ml is sufficient to treat one patient,” Budhiraja said.
So far, 47 people have lost their lives due to coronavirus in Delhi.
For the past few days the visit by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his delegation has been much in the news in the Indian media in general and the Punjabi media in particular. The main emphasis of this visit has been the close links between the two democracies.
The progress made by the Indian Diaspora in general and Sikhs in particular in Canada has been a matter of great pride not only in Canada but also in India. In Canada the proportion of people of Indian origin is 1.4% . This is quite close to the Punjabis in India at 1.9%. The clout of Sikhs in particular in every area in Canada is often the topic of discussion here. This is more so at this time .
It was interesting to note that a prominent Indian journalist Harih Khare wrote a very insightful article in The Tribune as a tribute to Canada on the eve of the current visit by the Canadian Prime Minister. Titled “Welcome Justin Trudeau”, Khare quoted former governor general David Johnston ‘ s treatise: The Idea of Canada. This is a beautiful illustration of Canadian values. Khare also quoted extensively from Justin Trudeau’s Common Ground: Political Life. Both of these works highlight Canada’s diversity, multiculturalism and inclusiveness. All of this makes Trudeau’s visit more relevant and meaningful for the people of India. Incidentally, Canada has become one of the most popular countries in India in general and Punjab in particular.
In this context it was only natural that Justin and his delegation have received A very warm welcome everywhere. His visit to Taj Mahal in Agra, Hamandar Sahib in Amritsa and every other place like Ahmedabad, Bombay and New Delhi have been great success. In a sense this has been a memorable milestone in Canada – India relations.
On another front, my family and friends had an opportunity to visit Rajasthan for a few days. This visit included spending a few days in the Pink City of Jaipur. It is a beautiful city . The Amber Fort is just amazing. It is home to the world’s largest cannon. In addition to that it has great artefacts from the past. Built on steep hillside it is a marvel of engineering. Jaipur is also home to the impressive Jantar Mantar, Jal Mahal City Palace and much more.
From Jaipur it was on to visit Dhanda Bhagat’s Gurdwara about two hours drive from Jaipur. This is a very spacious Gurdwara in the memory of Dhanna Bhagat whose 600 th anniversary was celebrated with great deal of enthusiasm last year. From there we moved on to Ajmer, home of a sacred Dargah. After paying our obeisance at the Dargah , we moved on to nearby Pushkar, one of the holiest places for the Hindus. Pushkar is reported to have 326 temples and has the only temple devoted to Lord Brahma. Also, Pushkar had the honour of visits by Guru Nanak Dev ji and Guru Gobind Singh ji. The Gurdwara here is also very impressive.
After spending a few days in Rajsthan it was time to head home. On our way home we thoroughly enjoyed our visit in Delhi. It was an honour for us to pay our obeisance at the historic Bangla Sahib and Raquab Ganj Gurdwaras. From Delhi we moved on to another historic place called Paunta Sahib in Haryana. There are a number of Gurdwaras here. Guru Gobind Singh ji stayed here for more than four years. Here he successfully turned back the attack by a number of hill chieftains at Bhangani. There are a number of Gurdwaras around here dedicated to Guru Gobind Singh ji ‘s stay in this area.
After taking a short break my family and friends plan to visit a few more places of interest. The weather so far has been great. It is a welcome change from the cold and snow of Metro Vancouver. -Balwant Sanghera .

NEW DELHI – American retailer Walmart Inc may end up taking a large stake in Flipkart Ltd at a price that could value India’s largest e-commerce firm between $20 billion and $23 billion, three people close to the development said. If it goes through the deal will pit Walmart against Amazon in India, mirroring the fight between the two companies in the US.
Walmart has expressed an interest in buying Flipkart Ltd but a buyout is unlikely to go through as a key Flipkart investor SoftBank Group is opposed to a sale, the three people added on condition of anonymity. “Softbank is not willing to cash out this early as they see themselves as a long term investor in Flipkart,” one of the three people mentioned above said.
The talks are in the early stages and the companies haven’t finalized the final details, the people said. Walmart is expected to invest fresh capital in Flipkart as well as buy shares from existing investors including Accel Partners and Naspers, they added.
Any deal is likely to make Walmart the largest shareholder in Flipkart, they said.
Walmart is not the only suitor pursuing Flipkart. Search giant Google has also offered to invest in the e-retailer at a valuation of $15-$16 billion, said a fourth person close to the development. Flipkart is also talking to other investors, this person said, without naming the investors.
Flipkart’s biggest backer and key board member Lee Fixel of Tiger Global was in Walmart’s headquarters last week helping put together the deal, this person said.
Flipkart and Walmart declined to comment. Google and Softbank did not respond to emails seeking comment.
The Economic Times newspaper reported on 31 January that Walmart is in talks to buy 15-20% of Flipkart.
In August 2017, Flipkart received a commitment of $1.4 billion in fresh capital from Japan’s Softbank Group valuing the company at about $14 billion.
Launched in 2007, Flipkart has thus far raised more than $6 billion.
The current valuation offered by Walmart includes Flipkart’s fashion businesses Myntra and Jabong, ebay India, as well as mobile payments firm PhonePe.
Walmart has eyed India’s retail sector for years but the existing foreign direct investment (FDI) policy does not allow the retailer to serve have a meaningful presence in the country.
It does operate in India’s B2B (business to business) retail and e-retail segment but has stayed away from direct retail. Walmart has stayed away from joining hands with any other Indian retailer since it’s partnership with Bharti Enterprises ended in 2013.
New potential investors are willing to value the company at a much higher price partly because Flipkart has shown that it is holding its own against Amazon, which has been unable to unseat its local rival as the country’s largest online retailer despite outspending Flipkart, say analysts. Additionally, Flipkart is seen as the one of the most attractive assets in the global Internet economy, benefitting from the long-term potential ascribed to India’s internet market by investors.
Walmart and Google held funding talks with Flipkart in late 2016 but those discussions didn’t lead to deals.

The politicisation of social aid, the face of an insensitive government
CNN Indonesia – April 29, 2020
Social aid packet at Cipinang Food Station with ‘Presidential Aid’ printed on sack – April 22, 2020 (Antara)
Jakarta – A photograph of Klaten Regent Sri Mulyani printed on a packet of social assistance (bansos) for those impacted upon by the corona virus (Covid-19) epidemic has attracted a polemic. The case has opened the public’s eyes to the politicisation of social assistance in the midst of the corona pandemic.
The incident began when a photograph of a packet of hand sanitizer with Mulyani’s face attached to it went viral on social media.
The posting was followed by a photograph of several packets of social assistance which also had pictures of the President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s ruling Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) politician on them. Rice, masks and writing books for students all marked with Mulyani’s face.
Netizens on Twitter were very critical with many uploading the images to the hashtag #BupatiKlatenMemalukan (Disgraceful Klaten Regent) which topped the trending topics on Monday April 27.
The politicisation of social assistance didn’t just happen in the Central Java regency of Klaten. The public was also critical of a letter by Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan which was slipped into social assistance for Jakarta residents.
Found in 1.2 million packets of basic commodities (sembako) which were distributed in the capital city was a message from Baswedan to Jakarta residents. In the letter, Baswedan writes that he hopes the social aid can lighten the burden for his residents. He also invited the public to come together in the face of the corona pandemic.
And this has not just been happening at the regional level. The politicisation of social assistance has also occurred nationally. The public has also questioned the issue of social assistance distributed by President Widodo named “President of the Republic of Indonesian Assistance”.
The name gives the impression that the assistance comes directly from Widodo. Yet the source of the funds for the social assistance is the national budget (APBN) which is taken from the ordinary people’s money.
KedaiKOPI Survey Institute Executive Director Kunto Adi Wibowo is of the view that the culture of the politicisation of social assistance has long existed in the world of politics.
In Indonesia the practice has been widespread since the administration of former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) launched the direct cash assistance program (BLT).
Wibowo says that the politicisation of social assistance is a common campaign trick in politics. In Europe it is known by the term pork barreling (gentong babi).
“The term is pork barreling, a barrel filled with pork meat in the past in Europe. So they give a supply of food to their constituents, especially several days before an election. The aim being to build favorability, a liking for them”, Wibowo told CNN Indonesia on Wednesday April 29.
Wibowo said that the trick can also be referred to as money politics and is similar to dawn attacks known as serangan fajar, when money or gifts are given to people at dawn on voting day. The difference, he said, is that pork barreling is part and parcel of the government’s authority to manage the social assistance budget.
The Padjadjaran University faculty of communication science lecturer said that this method is commonly used by incumbent candidates in the lead up to elections. Although it is not impossible for this to be done by regional heads and heads of state who are not competing in elections anymore.
“For example to maintain their approval rating, to maintain people’s support for their leadership, this can certainly happen”, said Wibowo.
Contacted separately, public policy analyst Trubus Rahadiansyah believes that the politicisation of social assistance conflicts with good governance because it negates transparency.
He is of the view that image building through social assistance is being done because the government is not being transparent as it gives the impression that the assistance is being given directly by a regional head or head of state.
Rahadiansyah is of the view that in the midst of this crisis it will not have a positive impact on the administration. In fact he believes that the maneuver will have a bad impact on policy makers.
“The impression that’s created is actually counter-productive where the public’s perception of their image drops. It signifies a lack of sensitivity about people’s situation, hurting the public’s feelings”, Rahadiansyah told CNN Indonesia on Wednesday.
Rahadiansyah suggests that public officials stop the practice. He warns that the ordinary people invest their trust in public officials so they are obliged to serve the people without prioritising improving their own image.
“The government should see it as charity, a gift, not for seeking a public platform, or image building, or whatever. Be responsible to the public”, he said. (dhf/pmg)

‘M1NE5 A P1INT’: Halfords criticised by road safety charities for selling number plate key rings ‘encouraging’ drink driving
By Chris Pleasance11:49 10 Dec 2013, updated 13:53 10 Dec 2013
Halfords was selling key rings with slogans ‘encouraging’ drink driving
‘M1N3S A P1NT’ and ‘W4ASTED’ on sale alongside other novelty phrases
Driving groups branded the £1.99 stocking-fillers ‘irresponsible’ and ‘silly’
Halfords say they are conducting a ‘review’ following the complaints
Motoring chain-store Halfords has been criticised by road safety groups for selling key rings apparently promoting drink driving.
The stocking-fillers are being sold at several stores across the UK with slogans such as ‘M1NE5 A P1NT’ and ‘W4STED’ on them.
Ellen Booth, senior campaigns officer for road safety charity Brake, said they send out ‘a very irresponsible message’.
Halfords have been criticised for selling key rings that seem to promote drink driving at the same time as police are trying to crack down on the illegal activity during the festive season
Motoring groups have called the £1.99 items ‘silly’ and ‘irresponsible’ and are asking people not to buy them
‘They make light of a serious problem on UK roads – traffic is the biggest killer of young people.
‘A combination of age and inexperience, means that young drivers are hugely overrepresented in road crashes.
She stressed it’s particularly important to send out the right messages to young drivers as they are more likely to take risks and are less able to deal with the consequences of the risks.
‘That’s why it’s so important that we send out the right messages to young drivers – that risk taking on roads is deadly serious.
‘It could cost your health or even your life if you take risks like speeding or drinking alcohol or taking drugs and driving.’
Hundreds of people are killed while drink driving each year, with 230 fatalities recorded in 2011 alone.
Pam Hatton, 42, said she was shocked when she saw the key rings in one of Halford’s stores. They were spotted in Cardiff store but are sold in many of the motoring chain’s other stores.
‘I couldn’t believe it,’ she said. ‘I can’t believe a responsible company would be so stupid as to encourage this kind of behaviour.
‘Don’t they know how many people die every year because of drink driving?”
Driving with a hangover can be just as dangerous as getting behind the wheel when drunk
Friends convince drink driver he’s just woken from TEN YEAR coma by turning office into hospital ward while he was passed out in bid to stop him reoffending
Neil Greig, director of policy for the Institute of Advanced Motorists said: ‘These are silly gifts for silly people.
‘Clearly these keyrings are totally out of touch with most people’s views on driving – sadly safety messages aren’t seen as being as cool as this sort of thing. They can’t be banned, so our simple message is don’t buy one.
Andrew Misell, director of Alcohol Concern, also criticised the key rings: ‘Alcohol and cars just don’t mix,
‘Obviously these key rings are supposed to be a bit of a laugh, but I doubt anyone who’s suffered as a result of drink driving will see the funny side.’
The key rings, which Halfords called ‘fun’, were seen on display at their Cardiff shop
The display was positioned next to other Christmas items at the checkout
The key chains were seen on display at the motoring chain’s Cardiff store (pictured), but were also thought to be on sale in stores across the UK
The Government advises that any amount of alcohol affects your ability to drive and say ‘it’s better to have none for the road’.
A conviction for drink driving can lead to a fine of £5,000, a minimum 12-month driving ban and a criminal record.
The Institute of Advanced Motorists say being caught drink driving could cost between £20,000 and £50,000 in fines, solicitors fees, increase in car insurance and loss of job.
A Halfords spokesman said: ‘We take the issues of road safety and drink driving very seriously. Our consistent and strong advice to motorists is not to drink and drive.
‘The keyrings are popular with our customers who see them as a fun item and the slogans are not meant to encourage irresponsible driving at all.
‘We do take on board this feedback and will review the range, removing any items that fall short of acceptable standards.’
Manual gear box entitlements.
In an odd move the DVSA announced this week changes to licence entitlements. If you’ve only had a licence for an automatic car you can only drive an automatic vehicle. So you’d say, take a test in an automatic bus/HGV and you can only dive an auto bus/HGV.
HOWEVER:-
if you have a manual car licence and pass an automatic bus/HGV you CAN DRIVE A MANUAL bus/HGV.
When I questioned Trevor Outram northern area manager to the DVSA his response was “the DVSA believes if you know gears you know gears” my response was agreed with by him. “there are plenty more gears in an HGV than a car. You kinda need to know when to use what and why.
Still, an interesting evenings meeting. Other things were covered but none that are of use to “L” drivers at the moment.
Christmas opening hours for driving tests.
Below are the Christmas opening hours for the newly named dvsa. Test will go ahead unless conditions (weather) prevent them due to safety. After all a winter test has to be equal to a summer one.

Making roads safer
National drink drive campaign
Let’s be honest, drink and drive and you deserve what you get.
I myself was hospitalised for 6 weeks, left in a wheelchair for months, couldn’t walk properly for a year and still can’t run far.
Christmas Drink Drive Campaign
BBC Look East reporter Mike Liggins downed a couple of glasses of wine, and then a couple more, right under the noses of senior police officers to find out just what effect alcohol had on his skills as a driver.
He got behind the wheel of a Lotus Evora at the Hethel test track in Norfolk with Inspector Chris Spinks as his passenger, at the launch of the annual crackdown on drink driving by six police forces in eastern England. (BBC LOOK EAST 11/12/13)
For years the number of deaths linked to drinking and driving had been falling until last year, when it went up. Across the UK nearly 300 people were killed and more than 1,200 were seriously injured in drink-related accidents.
West Midlands Police offer £200 reward in drink-drive campaign
Anyone shopping a drink-driver could receive up to £200
A motoring organisation has criticised the drink-drive campaign which rewards people who report offenders with payments of up to £200.
The RAC has said the Christmas safety campaign, which is being led by West Midlands Police and Central Motorway Police Group, has a “lot of issues” about how it is enforced.
Money will be offered to anyone whose information leads to a conviction.
The forces said they hoped the campaign would save lives.
They added they also planned to release photos of all drivers found guilty.
‘Shouldn’t need incentive’
Matt Dallaway from the RAC said he was not a “great fan” of the incentive. “If you think it through, there are some real practical issues about how this scheme is used,” he said. “For instance, how do you police this once the person has made the phone call? “I think most responsible motorists will prefer to encourage people not to get their keys out if they are in that condition.”
Tony Dring, from the Campaign Against Drink Driving group, said it was “disappointing” that it had come to people “having to shop their mates”. “It shouldn’t need a £200 incentive but if that’s what it takes to save a life, whether it be your own or somebody you love, then so be it.”
West Midlands Police said about 4,000 drivers were breathalysed last year, with more than 300 prosecuted for failing the test.
People can make reports of suspected drink-drivers anonymously via the Crimestoppers service, the force said.
Insp Greg Jennings said: “We would still urge people to consider the consequences of drink-driving before they get in the car but if people have legitimate concerns about a friend they can call us with locations and details of the vehicle so we can act.”
He said the rewards would be paid from a £10,000 budget set aside for the force’s annual drink-drive campaign.
tax disc
Posted on December 5, 2013 by Bal
So the government intends to abolish the tax disc from next year. The anonymity this give means the average person doesn’t know whether a vehicle is taxed or not. In other words only the agency and the police will know.

Direct Debit and abolition of the tax disc

Topical event:
Autumn Statement 2013
The government is changing the law in 2014 to reduce tax administration costs and burdens associated with vehicle tax.
The Department for Transport (DfT) made clear in its recent Motoring Services Strategy consultation that the government is committed to offering high quality and cost effective services to the public and businesses. DfT and DVLA have listened to the views of both businesses and the public to remove unnecessary burden and provide modern and efficient services to meet their needs. This includes getting rid of unnecessary paper where possible and making it easier for people and businesses to use government services.
Today (Thursday 5 December 2013), the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that the government will change the law in 2014 to reduce tax administration costs and burdens associated with vehicle tax.
DVLA will offer motorists the ability to spread their vehicle tax payments should they wish to do so. From 1 October 2014 motorists will be able to pay vehicle tax by direct debit annually, biannually or monthly. There will be no additional handling fees for annual payments but to limit the impact on the public finances there will be a small surcharge of 5% of vehicle tax for biannual and monthly payments. This is half of the 10% surcharge that is currently applied to 6 monthly tax discs and which has been in existence for a number of decades.
Also from 1 October 2014, the paper tax disc, first issued on 1 January 1921, will no longer be issued and required to be displayed on a vehicle windscreen. Vehicle tax will still need to be paid but with DVLA having a digital record of who has and has not paid, a paper tax disc is no longer necessary as proof that vehicle tax is paid. The vast majority of motorists pay their vehicle tax with latest figures confirming that over 99% of motorists’ tax their vehicles on time… Most on-road enforcement action is now based on using Automatic Number Plate Readers. These cameras use the number plate rather than a visual inspection of the tax disc. The police also have access to DVLA records via the police national computer. There are significant savings for fleet operators and other businesses from not having to handle the administration of tax discs.

John Wesley Furman and his wife, Emma, start Furman Foods. First year production was 360 glass jars of tomatoes canned by J.W., Emma and their six children.
The first frame building was constructed for canning equipment. Peas, beans, corn, and mixed vegetables were added to the Furman line.
The 2nd generation of Furmans runs the family business with the formation of J.W. Furman cannery and expands operations to add industrial-size cans for foodservice.
The Furmano's brand of Italian and tomato products was established when a New York broker suggested that adding an "o" to the family name would make the brand sound more Italian. The 3rd generation of Furmans join the family business.
1,000,000 cases of tomatoes sold, achieving a long-held family goal.
The company changes its name to Furman Foods, Inc. and begins construction on a multi-million dollar, leading edge manufacturing plant. The 4th generation of Furmans join the business.

column 1 body:
Warm greetings to you from Furmano's. Here in the heart of Pennsylvania farmland, my great grandfather began canning tomatoes in 1921. Ever since he took his first tomatoes to market, the Furmano's brand has been synonymous with superior quality, great tasting beans and tomatoes. We've come a long way from the days when he and my great grandmother used a family recipe to prepare the tomatoes in a copper kettle on their kitchen stove. But, we've never strayed from the high standards that my great grandfather, J.W. Furman set. We're proud of that.
Today, we're still a family run business, although our "family" now includes hundreds of employees. We pride ourselves on our product quality and flexibility to meet our customer’s needs. We serve customers in multiple sectors including foodservice, retail, manufacturing, export, and branded and private label.
We offer a large selection of great tasting and healthy bean and tomato products that are locally packed. We formulate ready to use recipes for sauces, pasta, pizza, soups, salads, chili, appetizers, vegetarian, beef, fish, chicken and pork for all tastes. We’ve even created a premium line of “family favorites” for foodservice customers that we’re sure your “family” will enjoy as much as ours does.
Furmano’s combines state-of-the-art agricultural and manufacturing technology with a kinship to the earth that comes from four generations of farming in this region. We still grow most of our tomatoes and vegetables right here in the fertile Susquehanna River Valley, and we process millions of cases of beans and tomatoes at our plant in Northumberland, PA.
Holding true to our heritage, we continue to thank God daily for the abundant blessings we've enjoyed over the years. As stewards of the land we work, we are sensitive to ecological concerns. We employ farming techniques that are environmentally friendly as well as safe for the surrounding community. Many of us grew up and still live in the area, so we strive to be a good corporate citizen and a positive contributor.
I welcome you to try our quality beans and tomatoes and experience the difference made by generations of excellence.

3 Tips for Solving Big Data Skills Shortage
By Ann All Feedback
More schools are creating data analytics programs, but many companies can't wait for help with their Big Data projects. Here's how to deal with a Big Data skills shortage.
Shortages of scarce skills usually create two things: higher salaries for the desired skills and creative approaches for increasing the supply of folks who possess those skills.
Professionals with Big Data analytics skills are certainly commanding high salaries. As Eric Lindquist notes, writing for eWEEK, graduates of an Advanced Analytics program at North Carolina State University typically receive multiple job offers paying six-figure salaries. Often these graduates are employed as data scientists, a role that a New Vantage Partners survey defined as "applying varying degrees of statistics, data visualizations, computer programming, data mining, machine learning, and database engineering to solve complex data problems."
Specialized academic programs like the one at North Carolina State are becoming more common. A New York Times article published earlier this year mentions Columbia, the University of San Francisco, Stanford, New York University, Northwestern, Syracuse, University of California at Irvine, George Mason and Indiana University as among schools offering data science programs.
In addition vendors with skin in the Big Data game, including Teradata and IBM, are partnering with academic institutions to offer programs in Big Data analytics. The Teradata University Network is a Web portal that offers data analysis research, software and other training materials to participating professors and students. IBM provides access to software, data sets and data scientists to more than 1,000 universities through its academic partner program.
But many companies need data scientists now and cannot wait for more schools to produce more graduates qualified for this kind of work. The good news is, academic programs are not the only way to address the data analyst shortage.
Build a Data Science Team
I interviewed the global head of R&D at Opera Solutions, a provider of data analytics software and consulting services that uses a team approach to fill its need for data scientists. Its data science teams include scientists responsible for creating algorithms; analytics managers who provide guidance to scientists, in a role similar to an academic advisor at a university; and project managers, who manage scheduling, costs and deliverables from a broader business perspective.
Opera Solutions, which earned press attention after a team of its data scientists nabbed the runner-up prize in a 2009 contest to create an improved search algorithm for Netflix, is organized into business units that serve specific verticals, such as health care, insurance and supply chain/operations. Each unit is led by a business head, who handles business development and budgets, and a science head, who helps develop analytic technologies and works closely with analytic teams.
Train Your Own Data Scientists
I also interviewed the president and CEO of Utopia, a provider of enterprise data solutions that has created its own intensive three-month training program for data consultants. A key part of the program is pairing consultants-in-training with veteran consultants.
"Instead of simply learning about the technology, you get to see how it works and interacts with different systems in a production setting. You also get exposed to an entire team of people with different experiences to learn from," said Mike Nicely, who became a data migration consultant with Utopia after completing the program.
Use Technology to Fill Big Data Gaps
In addition to recruiting data scientists from academic programs and creating them with their own internal training programs, companies are getting technical help from vendors that can help fill the Big Data gaps.
A piece on Data Informed discusses development platforms that offer frameworks for building Big Data analytics applications. Such tools work by adding layers of abstraction to programming interfaces so developers can create Big Data apps without expertise in Hadoop, the popular open source software framework that many organizations use to process large data sets.
The CTO of Lotame, a provider of data management software for online marketing data, says his company has benefited from the use of a tool from Continuuity that helped it reduce its Big Data app development cycles and broaden its pool of qualified developer candidates.
"Finding engineers who can build apps on Hadoop effectively is a challenge. So one of the big benefits of Continuuity is you don’t need to know all that knowledge. The platform takes care of all that plumbing for you so that you can really concentrate on just building apps," says CTO Jeremy Pinkham.
Writing for Enterprise Apps Today, Infostructure Associates President Wayne Kernochan describes how many vendors provide "hooks" in their databases that allow SQL-like access to Hadoop stores in public clouds, which helps companies that want to access social media data about their customers, a popular Big Data use case. "Data virtualization tools, do this for most databases, and can combine the results in a common format as well. In fact, a data virtualization tool does much of the cross-optimization between Hadoop stores and between public Hadoop and in-house Big Data as well," he writes.
He also suggests several alternative approaches to using Hadoop for data warehouse needs. For example, companies can use a data virtualization tool to create a "virtual data warehouse" across existing databases -- including those for "mixed" and OLTP (online transaction processing) workloads, or together with a master data management solution.
Ann All is the editor of Enterprise Apps Today and eSecurity Planet. She has covered business and technology for more than a decade, writing about everything from business intelligence to virtualization.

Laughing with Karumi
First published in the British Haiku Society journal Blithe Spirit 25:2, May 2015. First written in December 2014, with minor edits since first publication, including the addition of the paragraphs that begin “In On Love and Barley” and “Perhaps another word we might apply to haiku” and other references to the word “lambent.” See also the new postscript at the end. See also “Poems About Nothing: Learning Haiku from Antonio Porchia.”
“The essential, most often, has no weight.” —Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Toward the end of his poetic career, Bashō advocated karumi, or “lightness,” in his haiku. His work went through many stages throughout his life, but his aesthetic ideals culminated in karumi. I’ve come to interpret this aesthetic principle as a way of treating one’s subject lightly, to not manhandle it, as if one’s poem were like catching a soap bubble without popping it. Apparently, though, some readers are insufficiently sensitive to appreciate such deliberate lightness, or don’t know to look for it. Although the following example is from some years ago, it was my first taste of how I believe karumi can be misunderstood. In a review of the second issue of my journal Tundra: The Journal of the Short Poem, Brian Tasker seems to be among them. His review, from Blithe Spirit 12:3, September 2002, had this to say in describing the contents of Tundra:
There’s plenty of English-language haiku too and naturally, the ubiquitous haiku-liteTM make an appearance, such as working late / in the office / someone opens a drawer by Nikhil Nath, a spool of thread / left on its side / summer rain by Burnell Lippy and Penelope Greenwell’s midday heat / under the shade tree / an empty chair. Alan Pizzarelli has morning twilight / a truck driver gently unloads / sacks of clams. To adapt a quotation from Alan Bennett: these kinds of haiku ‘take the pith out of life’.
It amused me that Tasker quotes what I think are some of the issue’s very best poems—poems that I consider not the weakest, but the strongest. He seemed to completely miss the virtue of karumi in these haiku, but perhaps he hadn’t gotten there yet. In the book Traces of Dreams: Landscape, Cultural Memory, and the Poetry of Bashō (Stanford, California: Stanford University Press, 1998), Haruo Shirane devotes a long section of his grand finale chapter to karumi as the pinnacle of Bashō’s poetic art. Shirane gives examples of how Bashō revised poems to avoid heaviness (omomi) and to give them lightness, and notes how the poet criticized some poems for having too much heaviness through allegory and symbolism. Here are some of Shirane’s other explorations of this challenging concept:
Like so many of Bashō’s critical terms, karumi defies easy definition. In its most general form, as a salient characteristic of Japanese art from cooking to painting, “lightness” is a minimalist aesthetic, stressing simplicity and leanness. For Bashō, it meant a return to everyday subject matter and diction, a deliberate avoidance of abstraction and poetic posturing, and relaxed, rhythmical, seemingly artless expression. (269)
In contrast to the “heavy” poem, which is conceptual or leaves little room for alternative interpretations, the poetics of lightness leaves a space for the reader to become an imaginative participant. (271)
Karumi also implies rhythm and attention to the poetry of the ear, what Ezra Pound referred to as melopoeia, especially those sound patterns that generate emotional connotations. (272–273; this thought would also seem to resonate with Eliot’s notion of the “objective correlative,” wherein writers can trust the effect of images because of the emotions that innately correlate to objective description)
Karumi, particularly in the early 1690s, was also associated with ada, with the playful spirit of a child. (274)
The action of the child, who sees the world with new eyes, without preconceived notions, here becomes a metaphor for the haikai spirit [referring to a quotation from Kyorai, who quoted Bashō as saying, in response to a question about ada, that “You should simply pay attention to the way children act”]. The notion of returning to the spirit of a child or the related idea of returning to the spirit of a beginner (the “shallows”) after formal mastery of the art (“the depths”) . . . implies the recovery of youthful playfulness, spontaneity, naturalness, and fresh perspective, all of which are part of karumi. (275)
[Bashō, quoted in a 1695 letter by Sanpū to Biji:] As the form of one’s verse gradually becomes heavier, it falls into the trap of logic and reason, and one creates difficult, overly intricate verse. When that happens, one should abandon the poetic style one has used until that point and compose lightly and gently, with ordinary words. That will give the poetry a sense of immediacy. (276)
Karumi ultimately was associated with Bashō’s notion of “awakening to the high, returning to the low,” [kōgo kizoku] attaining the spiritual, artistic, or poetic heights achieved by the ancients. (277)
[Quoting Dohō, from Sanzōshi:] Experienced poets have a disease. The Master [Bashō] stated, “When it comes to haikai, one should let a small child compose it. The verse of a beginner is most promising.” (283)
[Shirane’s definition of ada from his “Glossary of Literary Terms”:] A humorous, ingenious, seemingly artless poetic mood or style that emerges from a childish, un-self-conscious approach or attitude. Kyorai considered ada to be the epitome of karumi. (293)
Shirane also quotes Edo painter Tosa Mitsuoki, from Great Transmission of the Methods of Japanese Painting (1690), as saying that “The essence of painting can be summarized in one word: lightness. . . . The overall design of the painting should be left incomplete” (272). Shirane comments on the full quotation by saying that “Mitsuoki related lightness to the notions of understatement, overtones, and open space, which enable the viewer to participate actively in the completion of the painting” (272).
It’s in this context, which I had appreciated long before reading Shirane’s book, that I not just like but deeply love the particular poems that Tasker dismissed as “Haiku Lite.” Consequently, when I read the poems he quoted,
working late
someone opens a drawer
a spool of thread
left on its side
midday heat
under the shade tree
an empty chair
I am moved to a sort of transcendence and suchness that is utterly removed and dissimilar from the so-called “so-what” poem. I’ll leave it to you to feel what the poet felt, to fill in the details that these poems deliberately leave out in their unreservedly brilliant lightness.
In On Love and Barley: Haiku of Bashō (New York: Viking Penguin, 1985), Lucien Stryk says karumi is “the artistic expression of non-attachment, the result of calm realization of profoundly felt truths,” and translates a quotation from Bashō himself about karumi, who said that “In my view a good poem is one in which the form of the verse, and the joining of its two parts, seem light as a shallow river flowing over its sandy bed” (10). This reminds me of Ted Kooser’s comment in his book, The Poetry Home Repair Manual (Lincoln, Nebraska: University of Nebraska Press, 2005), where he says that “a well-written poem can be like going for a ride in a glass-bottomed boat” and that you don’t want the view to be ruined when “something—a pair of sunglasses maybe—suddenly clatters down upon the surface and spoils the moment” (66). Indeed, in a haiku with karumi, both the form and content have this “lightness.”
Perhaps another word we might apply to haiku with karumi is to say that they are “lambent.” The word means to flicker lightly over a surface, or to be brilliantly playful or marked by lightness or grace (one of the reasons my website is called Graceguts). We can hear the gentleness of the word “lamb” in its root, which also comes from the Latin, which means to lap at or to lick. Do we swallow our subjects whole, or do we gently lap at them? Are our haiku marked with lightness and grace, flickering lightly over the surface of our subjects, implying the depths beneath? This, I think, was the masterful accomplishment in Bashō’s poetry—a lightness of touch that makes them anything but light.
Thus, I come to this conclusion: In Traces of Dreams, Shirane refers to Bashō’s selection of a poem by Shadō as an example of lightness, and then reports the following commentary, written by Kyorai:
Several young disciples laughed at the verse, “The subject matter is so mundane, it would be hard to call it a hokku.” The Master [Bashō] responded, “You laugh because you still have not reached the stage of understanding. You should study this poem to find out why you should favor lightness and avoid heaviness.” (272)
It seems to me that laughing at karumi says more about the laugher than the poem. It’s a dismissal based on not understanding. If anything, I hope we could laugh with karumi. Or better yet, we should feel whatever emotions arise from the poem because the poem is refined enough to let us have those emotions on our own—thanks to the poem’s supremely lambent touch. This is something I value in the poems I read and select for publication, and often strive for in the poems I write. The refinement here places demands on the reader, to be sufficiently sensitive and aware, to appreciate delicacy—to be, according to Henry James, one on whom nothing is lost. Karumi should not be confused with “light verse” that produces laughter merely because it is funny. Rather, poems with karumi may produce laughter, if at all, simply because they are joyful (I am reminded that the word “haiku” itself means “playful verse” and that “lambent” means “brilliantly playful”). It’s this childlike spirit of play and lightness, even while the poem retains allusion and other complexities, that contributes immeasurably to the art of artlessness in haiku poetry.
In referring to a poem by Horst Ludwig, Max Verhart writes the following in his essay “Haiku About Almost Nothing” (available on The Art of Haiku and The Haiku Foundation websites):
The corn has changed its colour
just a little more
Verhart says, “A slight change in colour, that is all that this haiku is about. It is almost nothing—but it says everything about the passing of time, pointing to the ripening of the corn and to the harvest drawing near.” Verhart also quotes the following Shiki poem:
Look, a sparrow hopped
all along the porch
with wet feet.
Later he says, “Only when noticed does the tiny, the inconspicuous exist fully. This ability to perceive is actually creative. By observing, we create the universe, including ourselves. If this sounds presumptuous, I can put it more modestly: By paying attention to even the tiny, we enhance our awareness of being part of something too big for us to even comprehend.” This, to me, is a fundamental understanding of karumi.

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC! 98
ANNUAL MUSIC REVIEW
So, last year I thought it would be interesting to review 'Now That's What I Call Music 95' and, far from encouraging me to keep my finger on the pulse of pop culture, it made me more determined than ever to avoid the dreadful, dreadful horse-shit that people seem happy to have sluiced directly into their stupid heads these days.
It was, without exception, the biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard in my entire life and it took me several months to get over it. It was like if someone had found a way to extract 'liquid Alzheimers' and have it melted down onto CD. It was like hearing 1000 dogs screaming and then opening your eyes to realise that you're underwater with your leg chained to a washing machine and you're being bummed by a cuttlefish. Actually it wasn't really that much like that.
In the first few weeks after listening to it I was essentially catatonic, staggering around parks drinking Kestrel Super Strength, only pausing every so often to vomit black blood into the undergrowth every time I recalled the song 'Do You Know Love?' by Olly Murrs.
After that I started to come to my senses and after a bit of exercise, rest and some time rebuilding my cognitive skills with the use of a new drug called 'Dr Apokalypses Gorilla Rampage Tonic' that I bought off my mate Jonty Panpipes, I started to feel a lot more like myself, but with more killings.
The other day I lost a game of 'wink at the van' against Cwis Packham and my mate Jason Hoofbite and they dared me to fucking do it again.
So here we go...
1 - CAMILO CABELLO, YOUNG THUG - Havana
It sounds like Rhianna learning to play piano in a church hall whilst a priest (with hiccups) hits an abacus with a badminton racket, and, to be fair, I think that's a pretty fair description of the entire music industry for the past decade.
As I recall, last year's 'Now...' compilation was bursting with so many faux-Carribean tropes, it was like having your bollocks held in a vice-like grip by Sebastian the crab from 'The Little Mermaid' whilst the cast of 'Cool Runnings' luzzed cans of Lilt at your fucking head from a coconut tree. With this song however, some clever dick has remembered that, though still in the Caribbean, Cuba has a unique musical style that's overdue being ripped off by some talentless, bland cunt in America. I'm now bracing myself for the possibility that I might have to listen to some warbling bender jabber over the top of someone playing an Antiguan Nose flute or something.
Fuck this.
2 - POST MALONE, 21 SAVAGE - Rockstar
Quite a lot of swearing in this which I hate.
Never heard of this cunt so I just Googled him. He looks ridiculous. He looks like a Jewish Rabbi who's accidentally got himself extremely addicted to all known drugs. At best he looks like an Amish simpleton who's been fired into Topshop with an enormous catapult.
The actual music is too boring to deserve a mention.
3 - SAM SMITH - Too Good At Goodbyes
Not good enough at goodbyes if anything. Must try harder.
Is this what the kids are listening to? Have they never heard of Pantera?
This is as tedious as an old cow. Whilst I was listening to it I started looking at one of my claws and thinking about how weird it would be if my claw was full of tiny little penises and then when I came round I realised I'd eaten my paw off and pushed it down a drain and all the ducks were laughing at me. That doesn't happen when you listen to 'Rock You Like A Hurricane' by Scorpions does it?
4 - P!NK - What About Us
It's like Europop. This sound should have been consigned to the annals of history back in about 1995. It sounds a bit like the sort of music you'd expect to hear faintly pulsing out of a Lithuanian nightclub somewhere in the distance whilst you get buried alive on the side of a hill by a gang of sex traffickers in leather jackets.
I wonder if that was what P!nk was going for.
5 - DUA LIPA - New Rules
I just listened to this track about 4 times to see if I could find anything interesting to say about it. Like the last one it's basically a synth sound that was briefly popular about 20 years ago accompanied by some girl warbling over the top with the unwelcome addition of what sounds like a van reversing throughout the entire chorus. After about 4 listens I started to quite enjoy it which means that it must contain some sort of subliminal, hypnotic, algorithms that brainwash people into liking it because there is absolutely no way that it isn't 100% fucking crap.
6 ED SHEERAN - Galway Girl
It doesn't sound like all the other stuff so far, and that's to its credit. However it does sound like a B*Witched B-Side. As far as Irish music goes, this is the worst 'Irish Song' that's ever been written. It makes 'My Lovely Horse' sound like 'Fairytale of New York'.
7- CHARLIE PUTH - How Long
The album artwork is ridiculous. He's sat on a bed sort of looking like he's just had an argument with his keyboard and now the pair of them are just laying there sulking. If I was his keyboard I'd probably have called him a useless cunt as well. Don't know who he is but his voice winds me up and I genuinely hope his head burts into flames. I genuinely mean that.
8 - CNCO, LITTLE MIX - Reggaeton Lento
It's like a really bad pop song that's been made worse by having Spanish guitars poured all over it like gravy made out of gonorrhoea It basically sounds like leather trousers, it's the audio equivalent of the concept of leather trousers. From what I can gather it's basically Little Mix taking it in turns to choose which pair of leather trousers to be rohypnoled by in a bar in Malaga that's got bras hanging from the ceiling. After I listened to this I started getting a little rash in the corner of my mouth,
9- J BAVLIN, WILLY WILLIAM - Mi Gente
There is no music in this one. It's just the looped sound of a gibbon that's had his fingers trapped in a Black and Decker Workmate with the two Spanish barmen from the club I mentioned above, talking bollocks over the top. It's properly unlistenable. I think someone should send it to Langley, Virginia, so that the C.I.A can use to extract intel from terrorists. If you played it to someone more than twice then they'd sing like a fucking canary. Probably a far more effective tool than extracting fingernails or attaching knackers to car batteries. I honestly reckon if you listened to this song four times in a row your head would just fucking burst like an egg in a microwave.
10- JUSTIN BEIBER, BLOODPOP - Friends
This song sets the bar pretty fucking low for drum technicality and sounds like someone monotonously firing a nail gun into a damp mattress from start to finish. The lyrics are so clunky they sound like they've been written by someone who's still in shock after crashing into the back of a van on a motorbike.
11 - ZAYN, SIA - Dusk till Dawn
Pretty much the same as the last song. Fucking boring. You might as well plug your headphones into a bag of crabs and listen to that instead. Once I got to the end of listening to this song I felt really dizzy and did a fart and blood came out.
12- DEMI LOVATO - Sorry Not Sorry
This song is so boring that if you started a rumour that it didn't exist then everyone, including Demi Lovato, would believe you after a couple of days.
13- STEFFLON DON - Hurtin' Me
Sort of a 90's, R&B thing with Caribbean vibes like all the other songs. The only way anyone could think this is good is if this was the first song ever. If she'd sort of invented the entire concept of singing over music then some people might consider this quite interesting but even then I think most people would think it was utter dogshit and should be a lot better than it even is.
14- LOUIS TOMLINSON, BEBE REXHA, DIGITAL FARM ANIMALS - Back to You
I don't know what a Digital Farm Animals is but it reminds me of the time my mate Yarnold Pentecost strapped about 40 digital watches to a cow's legs, all with the alarm set to go off every 10 or 15 minutes. The cow got so angry that after about 4 hours his head floated off into the sky and loads of tiny mice with parachutes on floated out of his anus.
I wasn't really listening to the song. It sounded less good than Crohn's disease.
15- KHALID - Young, dumb & broke
This is sort of a bit like reggae but made by someone who's never actually heard any reggae and only had it explained to them by a dog.
16- MAROON 5, SZA - What Lovers Do
Didn't these cunts used to be a real band about 20 years ago? I'm sure they were an absolute shit tornado back then as well but I'm sure they didn't used to sound like a 16 year old impersonating Just Bieber in their mum's bedroom.
These benders have obviously got about as much integrity as the girders that held up the twin towers.
I'd rather listen to 'Moves like Jagger' than this which is strange because 'Moves Like Jagger' did for music what Dr Harold Shipman did for people's trust in medical professionals.
If it was up to me I'd have Maroon 5 put directly onto the sex offenders register for this song.
17- JASON DERULO - If I'm Lucky
Couldn't lock onto this one long enough to have an opinion. It was like someone holding a hedge strimmer up to your head and asking you if you like the tune whilst it occasionally tears little chunks out of your lobes and sends bits of your ear flying across the room like bumblebees made out of pork. Boring and painful in equal measures. Like being constricted and devoured by a python that's telling you which roads it used to drive from Doncaster to Bishops Stortford.
The fact that someone bothered hiring a studio and going through all the rigmarole that it takes to record, produce and release a song for this is frankly mind bending.
18- CLEAN BANDIT - I Miss You
Don't know what's wrong with young people. It seems like the threat of being blasted into ribbons by an incendiary ball of nuclear light has taken its toll on their fucking world view. All the music's so slow and downbeat. They've got less energy than a AAA battery in a flood damaged Poundstretcher.
I think Marks and Spencer used one of these guys' songs one of their adverts for about 2 years. The only way M&S will be using this song in an advert is if they start selling trips to Dignitas.
19- ALMA - Chasing Highs
I've done 17 songs now and I'm starting to feel really poorly again. I wasn't concentrating and I just slit one of my hind legs open and started pushing snails into it and now my leg is sort of burning and also feels really cold at the same time. My Mate Sexy Chris just came over to ask why I'd been listening to so much tod for the last 3 hours and I made him sit through this song and he just started crying and then flew off and smashed into the side of a bus shelter and now he's just lying on the ground in a puddle with loads of sort of black treacle firing out of his tits. It's quite a scene. I might have to take a little break.
20- ZEDD, LIAM PAYNE - Get Low
We used to take the piss out of countries like Moldova and Former Yugoslavian Repulic of Macedonia in the Eurovision Song Contest because their pop music was just pumping electronic drums sampled from a gay sauna with some cheesy little cunt singing bobbins over the top. That's what Britain does now. That's the entire pop music output. I would say that sounding like an Eastern block country from 1993 might go some way to help the United Kingdom's Eurovision campaign, but after Brexit the Rolling Stones could enter and we'd still get fuck all so we might as well just feed a pig loads of Pop Tarts and Haribo Starmix and then walk it on stage and hold a microphone to its quivering, fluttering arsehole. Or we could submit this song which is only slightly less good than that but far less interesting to watch.
21- CHARLI XCX - Boys
This sounds like a woman having sex with Super Mario while magic coins fall out of her bum.
If you think of a good song, this is like the opposite of that.
22- RITA ORA - Anywhere
Can't stand doing this anymore. This one's causing by brain to bleed. It's so boring that I genuinely considered killing myself just to make it stop but then I remembered I can just press the 'off' button.
23- MARSHMELLO, KHALID - Silence
Got excited when I saw the song title was 'silence'. Was hoping it was going to be heavily influenced by John Cage's 1952 composition '4'33' in which the performers are instructed to just sit there and do nothing for four and a half minutes. I wish Marshmello and Khalid had been instructed to do that because that would have saved me from smashing my fist through a window and squeezing the blood into my ears so that I didn't have to hear it as much.
24- AVICCI, RITA ORA - Lonely Together
If someone had told me this song was written by a shoe then I'd have asked "What kind of shoe?"
At no point would I have actually doubted whether it had been written by a shoe or not
25- JAMES HYPE, KELLI-LEIGH - More Than Friends
This song apparently "samples" the song 'More Than Friends' by En Vogue. If sampling is just dragging a song into Garageband and playing it 50% faster then that shoe I just mentioned above could actually be as successful as David Guetta and get flown around the world in a fucking Learjet. Being a musician these days takes all the skill and musical dexterity of a dildo that's had a face crudely drawn onto the side of it with dog baff.
26- YUNGEN, YXNG - Bestie
If you own a keyboard with at least 2 working keys and know how to make that high-pitched warbling sound using autotune that's in every single song so far, then that's pretty much the equivalent of knowing what next week's lottery numbers are as far of making a quick buck in the music industry these days.
People keep talking about all the plastic waste at the moment, I reckon Casio and the others could definitely cut it down to two keys. Synthesizers might as well start looking more like a deer's hoof than a piano.
This song's fucking terrible by the way.
27- CHRIS BROWN - Questions
If you've ever broken into a hospital under cover of darkness, found the bins that hold all the medical waste awaiting incineration and clambered in and found a syringe and just gone mental and started injecting blood and drugs and soiled laundry and shimmering, yellowy fluids into your fucking head...then this is the song for you.
28- CRAIG DAVID -Heartline
Don't know who's responsible for letting Craig David back into the music industry but I suspect it was dark lord of the underworld, Satan. Craig David must have been gargling Satan's balls so deep they'd have been cooking in his stomach acid like a couple of boiled eggs in a saucepan.
This song's used the tune of children's favourite playground taunt and possibly most annoying song ever - 'I'm the king of the castle and you're a dirty rascal'. As far as 'musical influences' go it's hardly fucking Beethoven. Because of this it's absolutely unlistenable.
Right I can't handle doing Disk 2. I'm only going to do disk 2 by popular demand so fuck it.
YOU DIDN'T
EXISTED:
GUS THE FOX
Red-lipped Batfish
Apparently this fish is found near the Galapagos Islands and chooses to walk instead of swim.
If I showed you this picture and then you told me that you weren't imagining this little fella giving you a blowjob then I think I'd have to accuse you of being a liar.
It's got quite a stern expression and I can't help wondering if it's pissed off because it's evolved to look absolutely fucking ridiculous. In many way a lot like Kanye West
Goblin Shark
This looks like a cartoon of Margaret Thatcher that's come to life to give everyone nightmares, much like Theresa May. The other qualities it shares with Theresa May is that nobody hardly ever fucking sees it and it probably also looks ridiculous in leather trousers.
The fact that a monster like this exists at all is proof alone that there is surely no god, I suppose it would be unfair to say the same about the shark.
Panda Ant
This is actually the female of a type of Chilean wasp that has no wings and resembles an ant. It's venom can kill a cow.
Don't know anything more about it but it sort of reminds me of my mate Keith Rice. Keith was a badger I used to hang around with and one night, a few years ago, we found an empty swimming pool in the back garden of a house in Hackney. There was no water in it but for some reason the filter pump was still on, I convinced Keith that it would be funny to go and sit on it whilst I filmed it for 'You've Been Framed'. The filter sucked all of his guts and bones out of his bum and he died in seconds leaving behind a skeletal corpse that looked exactly like this ant. I sent in the video to 'You've Been Framed' and they sent me £300 but said that they probably wouldn't show the clip as it might upset people at tea time.
Penis Snake
I know life is precious and all that shit but I think I'd rather be dead than be a penis snake to be honest.
They were only rediscovered in 2011 whilst a dam was being built in Brazil.
Anyone who says that this doesn't look EXACTLY like a penis obviously hasn't ever had their own one put in an 'exploding Chinese finger trap' by a very drunk Cwis Packham at 3am in the morning of Terry Nutkins' 63rd birthday party. Waking up after a party with a hangover is annoying, but waking up to discover that your penis looks like its just gone 10 rounds with Wladimir Kitschko and one of your bollocks has fallen into the canal and been gobbled up by an eel is quite another thing altogether.
Umbonia Spinosa
I once met Jay Kay from Jamiroquai. He bundled me into a flight case outside Brixton Academy and then gaffer-taped me onto his own head like I was the world's maddest hat and then proceeded to perform 2 hours of very average dance-funk in front of a crowd of horrified onlookers. As he span and gyrated around the stage, fear got the better of me and I began to lose control of my bladder, sending arcs of bodily fluid and liquid tod into the front row of the Academy, covering twenty or thirty wheelchair bound Jamiroquai fans in a thick layer of my wretched effluence. Quite funny in hindsight but at the time I remember being fucking furious. I'm not sure the performance received a glowing review either.
Lowland Streaked Tenrec
I'd have probably called this a 'Waspmouse' or a maybe even a 'Beerat'.
Found in Madagascar this is the only mammal that makes a noise by rubbing its legs together like an insect.
I'm not quite sure how species come to exist but I'd say, given the evidence, that this is definitely some sort of little hedgehog that's had it off with a hornet or something. I just tried to make one by putting a bumble bee up a hamster's arse. They both died. You've got to have the patience of a fucking saint to be a scientist haven't you?
Glaucus Atlanticus / Blue Dragon
This is actually a type of sea slug that's found in warm climates and can float using sacks of gas.
If the last animal was a cross between a bee and a mouse then fuck knows what this is. If I had to guess how it came to exist I would probably say that some lightning struck an I-Phone and one of their Pokemon Go monsters came to life. I'd have to run that theory past the poindexters at the Natural History Museum to see if, like this weird cunt, it has legs, but that's what I would imagine happened.
Bit too wacky for me this one. Looks like something a dickhead might buy and dangle from the rear view mirror of their Citroen Berlingo.
It looks like what would happen if God had a sort of Blue Peter competition where kids could send in their ideas for a new type of animal and the winner would get their one put into 'creation' and introduced into the sub-tropical waters of the South Pacific.
Anyway, whoever this guy is he looks like a cunt. He's the only animal I've ever seen in my life who would definitely wear a Homer Simpson tie to a wedding.
I reckon if this was some kind of wacky hat even 90% of the fucking plonkers who go to V Festival would give it a miss.
Venezuelan Poodle Moth
I'm going to chalk this one down as 'fuckable'
The Pacu Fish
Well it's got human teeth so it's nightmare fodder in that respect. Possibly a cursed boy that got turned into a fish or something, I don't know. Reminds me of the time me and my mate Glum Roy spent the afternoon 'No-More-Nailsing' loads of sets of false teeth into all the local trouts and then watching as the fisherman hoiked them out of the canal and shit themselves. I remember one fisherman pulled a perch out the water that we'd made look like Rylan Clark and it freaked him out so much that he just slit his own throat with his Opinel pocket knife, gently slipped into the reeds and then we just watched as his body disappeared over a weir. That was a funny old Christmas.
Sometimes I feel like these scientists and wildlife biologists are so desperate to make a name for themselves, and pick up a gong from the Zoological Society. that they'll stop at nothing. This is clearly a bat that's had the living fuck beaten out of it with a hoover and then been given a daft name.
I think some of these conservationists should be in psychiatric units rather than lauded in the world of ethnobiology I really do.
The Maned Wolf
You wouldn't know this if you're human but this wolf is fit as arseholes. Sort of like a supermodel fox. I once got bummed by Peter Crouch in a tunnel on Halloween and if that harrowing experience could have possibly culminated in the bearing of offspring then I reckon this would have been the result.
There aren't many animals that would look good in a leather jacket but this fucker certainly would. 10 on 10.
Patagonian Mara
Another abomination innit? You leave the Jack Russel at home with the Guinea Pig whilst you pop out to Aldi and one thing leads to another, 15 weeks later you've got this thing on your hands.
Naked Mole Rat
Don't know what the point is in this guy. You fuckers are going round shooting tigers and giraffes but no one is killing these guys. This guy looks exactly like what Boris Johnson would look like after an acid attack on Bromley High Street.
The only good use I can think of for these things is if you were to collect about 80 or 90 of them and squeeze them really tightly into Olly Murrs' Range Rover.
Irrawaddy Dolphin
The sort of dolphin that gets driven to school in a special minivan with pictures of cartoon rabbits on it.
The Geranuk
Well it looks like he's had his head photoshopped and the name sounds like the title of a slightly shit horror film. I can imagine if this guy walked into a Londis in Peckham on his hind legs then that might be quite funny. I can imagine the shop keeper crying and shouting and luzzing cans of tinned tuna at the cunt. Short of that I don't think he really needs to exist.
It looks like someone has chopped his head off and then poured 'Miracle Grow' down his neck to help his head grow back and it's actually started to fucking work.
Star Nosed Mole
You very quietly wait for a mole to surface and then you stick a firecracker in its mouth, tie it up with an elastic band and watch as his head blows up like 'Scanners'. We've all done it, doesn't mean it's new type of animal. These guys are having a laugh.
Cantor's Giant Soft Shelled Turtle
Not sure what's going on here. Look at his face though. He's having the worst time since sliced bread. It looks like what happens when you sand down a terrapin with a Bosch PSM 19LI Cordless Orbital Sander which, for legal reasons, I will say I have never done.
Good luck to him though, he's a flat, ugly, shiny little cunt that no one really needs to know even exists but then again so is Michael Gove and he's just become the fucking Environment Secretary.
This turtle looks like an elephant's arsehole that's had a coconut shoved up it by a mischievous simpleton, but if Michael Gove could even look half as charming as that then he'd be heading in the right direction.
Pink Fairy Armadillo
Don't know what this is or where it comes from. It looks a bit like a rabbit that's been carefully turned inside out, and I should know because I did that to a rabbit once and then I posted to Olly Murrs warning him that I'd start sending one inverted rabbit to his house every single day until he stopped being on TV.
I like how its back looks a bit like a tongue. I'd quite like to put this little guy in a cow's mouth and see what that looked like. I can imagine winning some sort of prize if I did that.
There's no doubt that butter plagiarism is one of the hottest topics in the country at the moment and with every low-budget, margarine peddler desperate to produce their own version of 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' whilst simultaneously trying to avoid a lengthy court case, there's never been a better time to produce your own knock-off spread while the going's good.
'You'd think it's Butter', 'What, not butter' and the enchantingly named 'Memories of Butter' have already been snapped up by canny businessmen, guaranteed to make their millions out of the thriving bargain-basement, yellow-spread, industry, but if you want in on the action and are worried that all the best variations have already been snapped up then fear not because I'm selling the below options for a one payment of just £50.
That's right, you can walk away with any of the following buttery titles for just £50. The counterfeit dairy industry is like the Klondike gold rush of the 1890s and you'd be fucking mental to miss out.
Pick from the following titles...
I Don't Think That's Butter
Yellow Spread: In Memorium
I Think I Need to be Sectioned Because I'm Fucking Convinced That That's Butter
Evocation of Spread
That's Butter Isn't It?...What It's Not?...Jesus Christ
The Halcyon Days of Butter
What? That's not butter? Get the Fuck Out of My Kitchen
I Bet It Is Butter. It's Definitely Similar to Butter
Dreams of a Yellow Spread
I Thought It Was Butter and Now I've Found Out That It Isn't My Life Has Completely Collapsed, I Don't Know What's Real, My Wife's Left Me, I'm Actually This Close To Blowing My Own Brains Out.
I Can Actually Slightly Believe That's Not Butter Because It Tastes Dreadful
I Can't Believe It's Not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
I Can't Believe It's Not I Can't Believe It's Not I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
Do You Remember Butter? This Is A Bit Like That...A Bit
If Someone Told You This Was Butter You'd Probably Believe Them. At Best You Wouldn't Give A Shit Either Way
The History of Butter: Ad Nauseam
I Refused To Believe It Wasn't Butter, So I Went To The Factory And I'm Still Not Sure Because I Don't Know The Difference Between Butter and Margarine
Surely That's Butter, Surely That's Fucking Butter
Oh Dear, It Seems You've Been Labouring Under The Misapprehension That This is Butter
I Wish I Had Bought Butter Because This Yellow Shit From Aldi Is Giving Me The Squits

THE BEST DAY OF THE YEAR
No one can deny that Flying Ant Day is the Nation's favourite holiday. The festivities, the pitter patter of tiny feet, the food, the gifts, the itching and the stories of myth and legend make it the cherished National Holiday that supersedes all others and brings people together in a way that Christmas, Eid, Hanukkah and Diwali don't even come close to.
HOW DID IT START?
'Flying Ant Day' is the informal term for the day on which queen ants emerge from the nest to begin their nuptial flight. The holiday is thought to have started around 92 million years ago, somewhere between the Cretaceous and Miocene periods. Back then people wouldn't celebrate with cakes and sparklers like they do now because mammals, as we know them, wouldn't exist for another 40 million years. However fossilised remains of flying ants trapped in amber are often exchanged between friends and family on Flying Ant Day as a reminder that getting trapped in amber would be really annoying.
HOW THE VICTORIANS DID IT?
We've all seen the greetings cards. Beautiful watercolour images of children riding ants through the snow, receiving gifts from Father Termite Face and families sitting around the fire in the front room absolutely fucking covered in ants. It is of course the Victorians who gave us many of the 'Ant Carols' that we still sing to this day, some of the most popular include...
'Father Termite Face is Coming to Town'
'Flying in my Face'
'Rudolph the Red Ant'
'I Wish it Could be Flying Ant Day Every Day'
'Thick Black Swarm of Bastards'
'Wings on the Pavement'
'I Believe in Anty Claws'
'Itching Around the Flying Ant Day Tree'
'Antennas Got Me Itchin'
'O Come, O Come You Itchy Swines'
'Thorax Holocaust'
FATHER TERMITE FACE
The Legend of Father Termite Face is thought to have started around 400 years ago in the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia. When the ants come out, children have to cover themselves in honey and run through the revolting swarms. If any ants stick to them then they won't be given any presents and are told that Father Termite Face - a cross between a decomposing horse and a flying ant - will come to their room at night and kill them with his flick-knife Flying Ant Day is a brutal and terrifying time for children.
MODERN TRADITIONS
In modern times flying ant day is a time for friends and family to gather and think about flying ants. People will often congregate in the garden and have a BBQ, swearing and cursing as the tedious fucking wankers flutter and bundle their way into all the food and everybody's faces until everyone's so angry that they just luzz all the food into the bin and go inside and order a fucking Chinese.
People will often get a 'Flying Ant Tree' which they decorate with all the wings of the dead flying ants and the wings which I think they must just nibble off their own backs or something which is mental.
MEMORABLE FLYING ANT DAYS THROUGH TIME
In 1967 the Queen stopped doing a speech on flying Ant Day after a man called Kevin Purpose broke into Buckingham Palace dressed as an ant and gave her a Chinese burn
Flying Ant Day was slightly overshadowed by the Blitz in 1941 with many of the ants feasting on the bodies of those trapped in the rubble which gave a dark edge to an otherwise joyous occasion.
The great summer of 1921 saw Flying Ant Day last for an entire week thanks to an anomaly in the weather conditions which interfered with the ants breeding process. The government declared the entire week a national holiday with people partying in the street, enjoying music and flapping ants out of their faces and getting very frustrated with the six-legged arseholes. No one went to work and the economy crumbled like an old biscuit, causing many businesses to go under. Around 43'000 people are thought to have committed suicide as a result.
In 1981 Flying Ant Day went the way of Comic Relief with a 24 hour live television experience. People bought ant hats and wings from petrol stations with all the money going towards some of the many Flying Ant charities. The bizarre TV extravaganza was hosted by Lenny Henry and Angela Rippon who presented the entire thing from inside a termite mound in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, cutting back to a studio in London every few minutes to watch celebrities including Bruce Forsyth, Toyah, Keith Chegwin, Rusty Lee, Bananarama and Shep from Blue Peter dressed as ants dangling from ropes and squirting each other with water pistols. The show was a flop and allegedly only attracted 14 viewers.

For alternative meanings of predator and prey, see Predator (disambiguation) and Prey (disambiguation).
In ecology, predation describes a biological interaction where a predator (an animal that is hunting) feeds on its prey (the animal that is attacked).[1] Predators may or may not kill their prey prior to feeding on them, but the act of predation often results in the death of its prey and the eventual absorption of the prey's tissue through consumption.[2] Other categories of consumption are herbivory (eating parts of plants), mycophagy (eating parts of fungi) and detritivory, the consumption of dead organic material (detritus). All these consumption categories fall under the rubric of consumer-resource systems.[3] It can often be difficult to separate various types of feeding behaviors.[1] For example, some parasitic species prey on a host organism and then lay their eggs on it for their offspring to feed on it while it continues to live or on its decaying corpse after it has died. The key characteristic of predation however is the predator's direct impact on the prey population. On the other hand, detritivores simply eat dead organic material arising from the decay of dead individuals and have no direct impact on the "donor" organism(s).
Selective pressures imposed on one another often leads to an evolutionary arms race between prey and predator, resulting in various antipredator adaptations. Ways of classifying predation surveyed here include grouping by trophic level or diet, by specialization, and by the nature of the predator's interaction with prey.

Functional classification
Classification of predators by the extent to which they feed on and interact with their prey is one way ecologists may wish to categorize the different types of predation. Instead of focusing on what they eat, this system classifies predators by the way in which they eat, and the general nature of the interaction between predator and prey species. Two factors are considered here: How close the predator and prey are physically (in the latter two cases the term prey may be replaced with host). Additionally, whether or not the prey are directly killed by the predator is considered, with true predation and parasitoidism involving certain death.
True predation
Leopard (Panthera pardus pardus) killing a young Bushbuck (Tragelaphus sylvaticus) in the Kruger National Park.
Lion and cub eating a Cape buffalo.
A true predator can commonly be known as one which kills and eats another living thing. Whereas other types of predator all harm their prey in some way, this form certainly kills them. Predators may hunt actively for prey, or sit and wait for prey to approach within striking distance, as in ambush predators. Some predators kill large prey and dismember or chew it prior to eating it, such as a jaguar or a human; others may eat their (usually much smaller) prey whole, as does a bottlenose dolphin swallowing a fish, or a snake, duck or stork swallowing a frog. Some animals that kill both large and small prey for their size (domestic cats and dogs are prime examples) may do either depending upon the circumstances; either would devour a large insect whole but dismember a rabbit. Some predation entails venom which subdues a prey creature before the predator ingests the prey by killing, which the box jellyfish does, or disabling it, found in the behavior of the cone shell. In some cases, the venom, as in rattlesnakes and some spiders, contributes to the digestion of the prey item even before the predator begins eating. In other cases, the prey organism may die in the mouth or digestive system of the predator. Baleen whales, for example, eat millions of microscopic plankton at once, the prey being broken down well after entering the whale. Seed predation and egg predation are other forms of true predation, as seeds and eggs represent potential organisms. Predators of this classification need not eat prey entirely. For example, some predators cannot digest bones, while others can. Some may eat only part of an organism, as in grazing (see below), but still consistently cause its direct death.
Main article: Grazing
Grazing organisms may also kill their prey species, but this is seldom the case. While some herbivores like zooplankton live on unicellular phytoplankton and therefore, by the individualized nature of the organism, kill their prey, many only eat a small part of the plant. Grazing livestock may pull some grass out at the roots, but most is simply grazed upon, allowing the plant to regrow once again. Kelp is frequently grazed in subtidal kelp forests, but regrows at the base of the blade continuously to cope with browsing pressure. Animals may also be 'grazed' upon; female mosquitos land on hosts briefly to gain sufficient proteins for the development of their offspring. Starfish may be grazed on, being capable of regenerating lost arms.
Main article: Parasitism
Parasites can at times be difficult to distinguish from grazers. Their feeding behavior is similar in many ways, however they are noted for their close association with their host species. While a grazing species such as an elephant may travel many kilometers in a single day, grazing on many plants in the process, parasites form very close associations with their hosts, usually having only one or at most a few in their lifetime. This close living arrangement may be described by the term symbiosis, "living together", but unlike mutualism the association significantly reduces the fitness of the host. Parasitic organisms range from the macroscopic mistletoe, a parasitic plant, to microscopic internal parasites such as cholera. Some species however have more loose associations with their hosts. Lepidoptera (butterfly and moth) larvae may feed parasitically on only a single plant, or they may graze on several nearby plants. It is therefore wise to treat this classification system as a continuum rather than four isolated forms.
Parasitoidism
Main article: Parasitoid
Parasitoids are organisms living in or on their host and feeding directly upon it, eventually leading to its death. They are much like parasites in their close symbiotic relationship with their host or hosts. Like the previous two classifications parasitoid predators do not kill their hosts instantly. However, unlike parasites, they are very similar to true predators in that the fate of their prey is quite inevitably death. A well-known example of a parasitoids are the ichneumon wasps, solitary insects living a free life as an adult, then laying eggs on or in another species such as a caterpillar. Its larva(e) feed on the growing host causing it little harm at first, but soon devouring the internal organs until finally destroying the nervous system resulting in prey death. By this stage the young wasp(s) are developed sufficiently to move to the next stage in their life cycle. Though limited mainly to the insect order Hymenoptera, Diptera and Coleoptera parasitoids make up as much as 10% of all insect species.[4][5]
Degree of specialization
Further information: Generalist and specialist species
Among predators there is a large degree of specialization. Many predators specialize in hunting only one species of prey. Others are more opportunistic and will kill and eat almost anything (examples: humans, leopards, and dogs). The specialists are usually particularly well suited to capturing their preferred prey. The prey in turn, are often equally suited to escape that predator. This is called an evolutionary arms race and tends to keep the populations of both species in equilibrium. Some predators specialize in certain classes of prey, not just single species. Some will switch to other prey (with varying degrees of success) when the preferred target is extremely scarce, and they may also resort to scavenging or a herbivorous diet if possible.
Trophic level
Predators are often another organism's prey, and likewise prey are often predators. Though blue jays prey on insects, they may in turn be prey for cats and snakes, and snakes may be the prey of hawks. One way of classifying predators is by trophic level. Organisms which feed on autotrophs, the producers of the trophic pyramid, are known as herbivores or primary consumers; those that feed on heterotrophs such as animals are known as secondary consumers. Secondary consumers are a type of carnivore, but there are also tertiary consumers eating these carnivores, quartary consumers eating them, and so forth. Because only a fraction of energy is passed on to the next level, this hierarchy of predation must end somewhere, and very seldom goes higher than five or six levels, and may go only as high as three trophic levels (for example, a lion that preys upon large herbivores such as wildebeest which in turn eat grasses). A predator at the top of any food chain (that is, one that is preyed upon by no organism) is called an apex predator; examples include the orca, sperm whale, anaconda, Komodo dragon, tiger, lion, tiger shark, Nile crocodile, and most eagles and owls -- and even omnivorous humans and grizzly bears. An apex predator in one environment may not retain this position as a top predator if introduced to another habitat, such as a dog among alligators, a skunk in the presence of the Great Horned Owl immune to skunk spray, or a snapping turtle among jaguars; a predatory species introduced into an area where it faces no predators, such as a domestic cat or a dog in some insular environments, can become an apex predator by default.
Many organisms (of which humans are prime examples) eat from multiple levels of the food chain and thus make this classification problematic. A carnivore may eat both secondary and tertiary consumers, and its prey may itself be difficult to classify for similar reasons. Organisms showing both carnivory and herbivory are known as omnivores. Even herbivores such as the giant panda may supplement their diet with meat. Scavenging of carrion provides a significant part of the diet of some of the most fearsome predators. Carnivorous plants would be very difficult to fit into this classification, producing their own food but also digesting anything that they may trap. Organisms which eat detritivores or parasites would also be difficult to classify by such a scheme.
Predation as competition
An alternative view offered by Richard Dawkins is of predation as a form of competition: the genes of both the predator and prey are competing for the body (or 'survival machine') of the prey organism.[6] This is best understood in the context of the gene centered view of evolution. Another manner in which predation and competition are connected is throughout intraguild predation. Intraguild predators are those that kill and eat other predators of different species at the same trophic level, and thus that are potential competitors.[7]
Ecological role
Predators may increase the biodiversity of communities by preventing a single species from becoming dominant. Such predators are known as keystone species and may have a profound influence on the balance of organisms in a particular ecosystem.[8] Introduction or removal of this predator, or changes in its population density, can have drastic cascading effects on the equilibrium of many other populations in the ecosystem. For example, grazers of a grassland may prevent a single dominant species from taking over.[9]
The elimination of wolves from Yellowstone National Park had profound impacts on the trophic pyramid. Without predation, herbivores began to over-graze many woody browse species, affecting the area's plant populations. Additionally, wolves often kept animals from grazing in riparian areas, which protected beavers from having their food sources encroached upon. The removal of wolves had a direct effect on beaver populations, as their habitat became territory for grazing.[10] Furthermore, predation keeps hydrological features such as creeks and streams in normal working order. Increased browsing on willows and conifers along Blacktail Creek due to a lack of predation caused channel incision because they helped slow the water down and hold the soil in place.[10]
Adaptations and behavior
The act of predation can be broken down into a maximum of four stages: Detection of prey, attack, capture and finally consumption.[11] The relationship between predator and prey is one which is typically beneficial to the predator, and detrimental to the prey species. Sometimes, however, predation has indirect benefits to the prey species,[12] though the individuals preyed upon themselves do not benefit.[13] This means that, at each applicable stage, predator and prey species are in an evolutionary arms race to maximize their respective abilities to obtain food or avoid being eaten. This interaction has resulted in a vast array of adaptations in both groups.
One adaptation helping both predators and prey avoid detection is camouflage, a form of crypsis where species have an appearance which helps them blend into the background. Camouflage consists of not only color, but also shape and pattern. The background upon which the organism is seen can be both its environment (e.g. the praying mantis to the right resembling dead leaves) or other organisms (e.g. zebras' stripes blend in with each other in a herd, making it difficult for lions to focus on a single target). The more convincing camouflage is, the more likely it is that the organism will go unseen.
Mimicry is a related phenomenon where an organism has a similar appearance to another species. One such example is the drone fly, which looks a lot like a bee, yet is completely harmless as it cannot sting at all. Another example of batesian mimicry is the io moth, (Automeris io), which has markings on its wings which resemble an owl's eyes. When an insectivorous predator disturbs the moth, it reveals its hind wings, temporarily startling the predator and giving it time to escape. Predators may also use mimicry to lure their prey, however. Female fireflies of the genus Photuris, for example, copy the light signals of other species, thereby attracting male fireflies which are then captured and eaten (see aggressive mimicry).[14]
While successful predation results in a gain of energy, hunting invariably involves energetic costs as well. When hunger is not an issue, most predators will generally not seek to attack prey since the costs outweigh the benefits. For instance, a large predatory fish like a shark that is well fed in an aquarium will typically ignore the smaller fish swimming around it (while the prey fish take advantage of the fact that the apex predator is apparently uninterested). Surplus killing represents a deviation from this type of behaviour. The treatment of consumption in terms of cost-benefit analysis is known as optimal foraging theory, and has been quite successful in the study of animal behavior. Costs and benefits are generally considered in energy gain per unit time, though other factors are also important, such as essential nutrients that have no caloric value but are necessary for survival and health.
Social predation offers the possibility of predators to kill creatures larger than those that members of the species could overpower singly. Lions, hyenas, wolves, dholes, African wild dogs, and piranhas can kill large herbivores that single animals of the same species could never dispatch. Social predation allows some animals to organize hunts of creatures that would easily escape a single predator; thus chimpanzees can prey upon colobus monkeys, and Harris's Hawks can cut off all possible escapes for a doomed rabbit. Extreme specialization of roles is evident in some hunting that requires co-operation between predators of very different species: humans with the aid of falcons or dogs, or fishing with cormorants or dogs. Social predation is often very complex behavior, and not all social creatures (for example, domestic cats) perform it. Even without complex intelligence but instinct alone, some ant species can destroy much larger creatures.
Size-selective predation involves predators preferring prey of a certain size. Large prey may prove troublesome for a predator, while small prey might prove hard to find and in any case provide less of a reward. This has led to a correlation between the size of predators and their prey.[15] Size may also act as a refuge for large prey, for example adult elephants are generally safe from predation by lions, but juveniles are vulnerable.[15]
It has been observed that well-fed predator animals in a lax captivity (for instance, pet or farm animals) will usually differentiate between putative prey animals who are familiar co-inhabitants in the same human area from wild ones outside the area. This interaction can range from peaceful coexistence to close companionship; motivation to ignore the predatory instinct may result from mutual advantage or fear of reprisal from human masters who have made clear that harming co-inhabitants will not be tolerated. Pet cats and pet mice, for example, may live together in the same human residence without incident as companions. Pet cats and pet dogs under human mastership often depend on each other for warmth, companionship, and even protection, particularly in rural areas.
Antipredator adaptations
Main article: Antipredator adaptation
Antipredator adaptations have evolved in prey populations due to the selective pressures of predation over long periods of time.
Predatory animals often use their usual methods of attacking prey to inflict or to threaten grievous injury to their own predators. The electric eel uses the same electrical current to kill prey and to defend itself against animals (anacondas, caimans, jaguars, egrets, cougars, giant otters, humans, and dogs) that ordinarily prey upon fish similar to an electric eel in size; the electric eel thus remains an apex predator in a predator-rich environment. A predator small enough to be prey for others, the domestic cat uses its formidable teeth and claws as weapons against animals that might confuse a cat with easier prey. Many non-predatory prey animals, such as a zebra, can give a strong kick that can maim or kill, while others charge with tusks or horns.
Mobbing behavior
Main article: Mobbing behavior
Mobbing behavior occurs when members of a species drive away their predator by cooperatively attacking or harassing it. Most frequently seen in birds, mobbing is also seen in other social animals. For example, nesting gull colonies are widely seen to attack intruders, including humans.[11] Costs of mobbing behavior include the risk of engaging with predators, as well as energy expended in the process, but it can aid the survival of members of a species.
While mobbing has evolved independently in many species, it tends to be present only in those whose young are frequently preyed on, especially birds. It may complement cryptic behavior in the offspring themselves, such as camouflage and hiding. Mobbing calls may be made prior to or during engagement in harassment.
Mobbing can be an interspecies activity: it is common for birds to respond to mobbing calls of a different species. Many birds will show up at the sight of mobbing and watch and call, but not participate. It should also be noted that some species can be on both ends of a mobbing attack. Crows are frequently mobbed by smaller songbirds as they prey on eggs and young from these birds' nests, but these same crows will cooperate with smaller birds to drive away hawks or larger mammalian predators. On occasion, birds will mob animals that pose no threat.
Advertising unprofitability
A Thomson's gazelle seeing a predator approach may start to run away, but then slow down and stot. Stotting is jumping into the air with the legs straight and stiff, and the white rear fully visible. Stotting is maladaptive for outrunning predators; evidence suggests that stotting signals an unprofitable chase. For example, cheetahs abandon more hunts when the gazelle stots, and in the event they do give chase, they are far less likely to make a kill.[16]
Aposematism, where organisms are brightly colored as a warning to predators, is the antithesis of camouflage. Some organisms pose a threat to their predators—for example they may be poisonous, or able to harm them physically. Aposematic coloring involves bright, easily recognizable and unique colors and patterns. Upon being harmed (e.g., stung) by their prey, the appearance in such an organism will be remembered as something to avoid. While that particular prey organism may be killed, the coloring benefits the prey species as a whole.
Domestic cats, animals similar in size to such prey species as rabbits, make a hissing sound reminiscent of a snake, advertising that they can put up formidable defenses for their size. Such can deter confrontations harmful to both the cat and to an animal in search of small animals as prey.
Chemical defense
Main article: Chemical defense
Some organisms have evolved chemical weapons which are effective deterrents against predation. It is most common in insects, but the skunk is a particularly dramatic mammalian example. Other examples include the Bombardier beetle which can accurately shoot a predator with a stream of boiling poison, the Ornate moth which excretes a frothy alkaloid mixture, and the Pacific beetle cockroach sprays a quinone mixture from modified spiracles.
Terrain Fear Factor
The "terrain fear factor" is an idea which assesses the risks associated with predator/prey encounters. This idea suggests that prey will change their usual habits to adjust to the terrain and its effect on the species' predation. For example, a species may forage in a terrain with a lower predation risk as opposed to one with high predation risk.[17]
Population dynamics
It is fairly clear that predators tend to lower the survival and fecundity of their prey, but on a higher level of organization, populations of predator and prey species also interact. It is obvious that predators depend on prey for survival, and this is reflected in predator populations being affected by changes in prey populations. It is not so obvious, however, that predators affect prey populations.[18] Eating a prey organism may simply make room for another if the prey population is approaching its carrying capacity.
The population dynamics of predator-prey interactions can be modelled using the Lotka–Volterra equations. These provide a mathematical model for the cycling of predator and prey populations. Predators tend to select young, weak, and ill individuals.[19]
Evolution of predation
Predation appears to have become a major selection pressure shortly before the
Humans and predation
As predators
Humans are omnivorous. They hunt and trap animals using weapons and tools like snares, clubs, spears, fishing gear, firearms to boats and motor vehicles. Humans even use other predatory species, (such as dogs, cormorants, and falcons) in hunting and fishing; some people even enlist such non-predatory beasts, like horses, camels, and elephants in getting approaches to prey.
Humans have reshaped huge expanses of the world as ranges and farms for the raising of livestock, poultry, and fish to be eaten as meat. However, it can be debated whether or not harvesting livestock fits strictly in the definition of predation.
Human raising and eating of livestock is part of agriculture, and involves the feeding of and caring for animals, followed by their being slaughtered with an appropriate tool, cutting up, and cooking. In many cultures, animals are hunted or farmed by specialists (such as ranchers or fishermen), brought to a marketplace, and sold in pieces to the people who actually consume the meat.
As prey
A lone naked human is at a physical disadvantage to other comparable apex predators in areas such as speed, bone density, weight, and physical strength. Humans also lack innate weaponry such as claws. Without crafted weapons, society, or cleverness, a lone human can easily be defeated by fit predatory animals, such as wild dogs, big cats and bears. There are even recorded instances of lone humans being preyed upon by large carnivores (see Man-eater). However, humans are not solitary creatures; they are social animals with highly developed social behaviors. Further, humans and their ancestors (such as Homo erectus) have been using stone tools and weapons for well over a million years. Anatomically modern humans have been apex predators since they first evolved, and many species of carnivorous megafauna actively avoid interacting with humans; the primary environmental competitor for a human is other humans. The one subspecies of carnivorous megafauna that does interact frequently with humans in predatory roles is the domestic dog, but usually as a partner in predation especially if they hunt together. Cannibalism has occurred in various places, among various cultures, and for various reasons. At least a few people, such as the Donner party, are said to have resorted to it in desperation.
In conservation
Predators are an important consideration in matters relating to conservation. In many cases, the predators are not only apex predators, but are also endangered species themselves as they have lower population sizes than prey species and are much more vulnerable to extinction because of their population size, competition with other predators, and the fluctuations in prey populations.
Having small population size is a characteristic almost universally inherent to apex predators. Low numbers wouldn't be a problem for apex predators if there was an abundance of prey and no competition or niche overlap, a scenario that is rarely, if ever, encountered in the wild. The competitive exclusion principle states that if two species' ecological niches overlap, there is a very high likelihood of competition as both species are in direct competition for the same resources. This factor alone could lead to the extirpation of one or both species, but is compounded by the added factor of prey abundance.
A predator's effect on its prey species is hard to see in the short-term. However, if observed over a longer period of time, it is seen that the population of a predator will correlationally rise and fall with the population of its prey in a cycle similar to the boom and bust cycle of economics. If a predator overhunts its prey, the prey population will lower to numbers that are too scarce for the predators to find. This will cause the predator population to dip, decreasing the predation pressure on the prey population. The decrease in predators will allow the small number of prey left to slowly increase their population to somewhere around their previous abundance, which will allow the predator population to increase in response to the greater availability of resources. If a predator hunts its prey species to numbers too low to sustain the population in the short term, they can cause not only the extinction or extirpation of the prey, but also the extinction of their own species, a phenomenon known as coextinction. This is a risk that wildlife conservationists encounter when introducing predators to prey that have not coevolved with the same or similar predators. This possibility depends largely on how well and how fast the prey species is able to adapt to the introduced predator. One way that this risk can be avoided is if the predator finds an alternative prey species or if an alternative prey species is introduced (something that ecologists and environmentalists try to avoid whenever possible). An alternative prey species would help to lift some of the predation pressure from the initial prey species, giving the population a chance to recover, however it does not guarantee that the initial prey species will be able to recover as the initial prey population may have been hunted to below sustainable numbers or to complete extinction.
Main article: Biological pest control
Predators may be put to use in conservation efforts to control introduced species. Although the aim in this situation is to remove the introduced species entirely, keeping its abundance down is often the only possibility. Predators from its natural range may be introduced to control populations, though in some cases this has little effect, and may even cause unforeseen problems. Besides their use in conservation biology, predators are also important for controlling pests in agriculture. Natural predators are an environmentally friendly and sustainable way of reducing damage to crops, and are one alternative to the use of chemical agents such as pesticides.

Failing Gracefully
There’s a lot to be said for a killer opening. Whether it’s an Imperial Star Destroyer hammering the shit out of a Rebel cruiser, or the Nazis biting off a piece of Poland, both got people to sit up, take notice and want to know what comes next, as well as really setting the tone for what was to come.
Despite knowing this, I’m always really lazy with the openings for my solo stand-up shows. I spend nine months writing a show, travel around the world to perform it and then open it by simply turning down the lights, playing my current favourite mash-up and walking onto the stage. There are hundreds (or maybe even thousands) of ways that I could better open my show, but for the sake of simplicity – or as I said earlier: laziness – I do next to nothing and then wonder why it’s so tough to kick-start the momentum.
Last night however, I didn’t even get my bare bones opening right. While the audience were coming into the room, I was backstage having a bit of a dance. I like dancing when the conditions are right. Normally that means a) I’m alone and b) I’m drunk; but before a show I’m stone sober and I really like to kick out the jams in the narrow space between the curtain and the back wall of the venue. Unfortunately, I didn’t realise that the floor was riddled with loose mic cables which, as I danced, were wrapping themselves around my ankles like hungry anacondas. When the lights went down and the music came up at the start of the show, I tried my very best to leap onto the stage, but my legs had danced themselves into a cable orgy and I fell over. When the spotlight finally came up, I was face-down on the stage in full view of everyone, desperately hoping that the audience liked a good prat fall. The audience though had seen nothing of the fall (that happened in the darkness) and so just stared at me, wondering why I was starting the show on my hands, knees and face.
The true test of the integrity of a system is in how it works when it doesn’t. All things fail, but the trick is to make them fail gracefully. When a joke dies in front of an audience, many comedians will deploy a pre-prepared line, acknowledging the failure in a self-effacing way that reminds the audience they’re still funny. It’s not the only way, or even the correct way of dealing with a joke that dies, but it’s one way of allowing the joke to fail gracefully in front of a paying crowd. It picks the mood back up and allows the comedian to continue with at least a bit of momentum.
Last night my system failed and it failed with all the grace of a newborn giraffe. As I floundered around on the stage, trying desperately to untangle my feet in front of a confused and disappointed audience, all I could think was “this SHOULD be funny.” It should have been but it just wasn’t. It’s like I’d started Star Wars with a shot of Han Solo on the toilet, or World War Two by marching into Warsaw and doing the Hokey P/Kokey.
I’m doing my show again tonight, and despite the fact that I’ve spent a lot of this morning thinking about how I can fail gracefully, by the time the show rolls around I’ll probably just stand backstage, dancing in the dark, hoping that my tech has finally gaffered all the cables to the floor.

First Fablemonger Review
Here’s the first review of Fablemonger at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. It’s from Australian Comedy Review.
Kent Valentine – Fablemonger
Daniel Sheppard
Playing to a small but appreciative audience in the plush and frosty surrounds of Arthur’s Bar, Kent Valentine’s Fablemonger demonstrates an absolute mastery of long form storytelling comedy.
Kent welcomes the crowd with a couple of fast-paced observations, quickly relaxing the crowd and firmly planting a grin on each and every face before blending seamlessly into his prepared material. Telling tales of SatNav frustration, life in the UK and his newfound role as a father, Kent manages to turn seemingly mundane stories and fascinating tales of wonder and daring-do. Kent’s style has all the depth and ‘whimsy’ that one might want in a storytelling comic, but his fast paced delivery packs each and every tale with joke after joke and his clever and accessabile humour that leaves the audience laughing all the way.
There’s some moments of absolute brilliance that are sure to leave a lasting mark, including his fantastic childhood explanation of how gambling works. The highlight for me on the night (and obviously for Kent too) was a sudden interjection of outside noise that allowed him to break out into a fantasticly spontaneous improv rant that left the audience in stitches and almost threatened to derail Kent as well before he pulled seamlessly back into the show.
Try as I might, I can’t think of one bad thing to say about this show, nor of anybody to whom Kent would not appeal. I’m constantly asked ‘Who should I see at the festival?’, and normally that’s an incredibly hard question to answer without getting a good gauge on what other shows they’ve enjoyed. This show makes that easy – whoever you are, and whatever your tastes, you’re going to enjoy Kent Valentine.

Oh fliers, where art thou?
My Melbourne comedy festival show Fablemonger opens tonight and my fliers haven’t arrived. Either they haven’t been printed yet, or they have been printed and they’re just sitting in a place that’s not here. Neither option is ideal since I’d like to perform to an audience when the show opens in 9 hours.
It’s frustrating when a key component of your operation falls apart. I feel like I’m going into a month-long burrito making session with no tortillas. I need the tortillas or these burritos are going to suck.
Without my fliers, I won’t have an audience; without an audience, this show is going to be less a comedy and more a one-man, word-wank.
If you see a box of fliers with my name on it (literally), please give me a call.
If you’re reading this and are in Melbourne, then come and see the show.

Becoming Sensate
New Approaches to Observing Play
April 26, 2017 Krystin Gollihue
Krystin Gollihue is a PhD student in the Communication, Rhetoric and Digital Media program at NC State University. Her research explores feminist approaches to critical making that account for the deeply historical and multimodal ways women have created communities of work, literacy, and communication.
Introduction: The Apparatus of Play
Games move us (Apperley & Jayemayne, 2012; Giddings, 2009). They teach us how to play them, how to move through their worlds, how to learn their protocols, and how to negotiate their persistent blending of virtual and physical worlds. The moving parts of a situation of gameplay – the platform, the narrative, the player and her environment – act as an assemblage, a constantly changing interaction of humans and nonhumans influencing one another. The notion of play is not a fixed reality, but a result of these elements in constant contact and becoming what we recognize as play (Massumi, 2002).
As I’ve recently become both a gamer and a researcher of games, I have come to understand the gaming assemblage as more than just the screen or console in my hands. I use field notes and digital diaries to reflect on my gaming experiences. I use my eyes and my body, or sometimes a recording device, to make sense of what I’ve just accomplished or learned. Each of these instruments of measurement affects what I come to understand as play; each is a “dynamic (re)configuring of the world” (Barad, 2003, p. 816).
At the end of 2016, I took on a project called “Becoming Sensate” that aimed to observe observation, to uncover what my play became when I paid attention to how I made sense of experiences. What happens when we watch our play, when we capture it, when we measure it? During “Becoming Sensate,” I measured my heart rate during play sessions, affixing an Arduino-powered pulse sensor to my body and identifying any patterns or changes in the heart rate data as I played two games with two very different emotional tones, Fallout 4 and Minecraft. Taking discursive notes during sessions, I looked for how the pulse sensor configured me into certain postures or how the data changed as I encountered different phenomena in and out of the game.
When the sensor comes on, I become both player and measurer (Lachesis the fate of weaving), but I’m not quite certain yet what I’m measuring. Am I measuring my affective response to, like, hacking away at what sounds like puffy cubes fashioned like cobblestone? Or am I measuring the game itself? It isn’t representing my heartbeat, or by extension my psychic state. But could it actually be configuring my physicality? By playing this game with this monitoring device, am I forging a specific way of being in the game as a neurodivergent person?
This study was not simply a gamer researching herself playing games with a sensor attached to her ear. It was a communing: an intimate exchange between human and nonhuman actors and ambiences. My sensor left traces of itself in the ways I moved around the house after play, slightly tense and feeling the ghost of a microcontroller against my ear. Measurement configured me in specific ways, allowing me to experience specific realities, specific situations of play. “Becoming Sensate” was less a measurement of experience than it was an experience of measurement.
Apparatuses of Measurement
The term data – what we collect when we do research – refers to “something that one gathers, hence is a priori and collectable” (Markham, 2013). Co-opted by early social science research, positivist methods of observation “focus on predicting and controlling ‘behavior’, and the use of quantitative methods in artificial settings” (Lindlof & Taylor, 2011, p. 6). Through positivist approaches to knowledge, we come to know a fixed and already-existing reality via measurement. In contrast, qualitative methods such as life histories and verbal narrative describe reality as plural and emerging – as an individual instance rather than a representation of the whole. Measurement is aimed at capturing and collecting the data of a situated moment – an interview or an interaction.
Barad (2003) however, argues that measurement itself creates the conditions for both positivist and emergent realities. Our instruments read back our data to us (Markham, 2013) and have particular ways of framing our world. Positivist instruments used in artificial settings not only predict and collect already-measured realities; they create (or recreate) already-measured realities. A participant or phenomenon has no choice but to be predictable when the apparatus of measurement can only act in those specific ways. For example, in the case of the pulse sensor, a heart rate can only be described as high (unhealthy), low (unhealthy), or normal (healthy). These conditions for reality, as Barad argues, mean that a person whose heart is being monitored can only exist within this binary of sickness and health.
Scientific studies that use the pulse sensor as an observation tool describe it as observing a more perfect reality (González et. al, 2014; Schubert, D’Ausilio and Canto, 2013). A more perfect reality however, has far-reaching implications for research in game studies. A more perfect reality is an outcome of intra-action (Barad, 2003), or the components of a phenomenon interacting within itself. If we are to understand games and gaming assemblages as vast intra-actions of phenomena, then we must understand our scientific instruments of measurement as an integral part of that meaning-making.
We must consider the realities that are being made, and made perfect, by a tool like the pulse sensor. We must also consider what is not being revealed, what is being erased even, by quantitative methods in artificial settings. Is there something else we can uncover when we consider quantitative methods in situ, in natural settings? What happens when see our tools of analysis as agents capable of being contextualized? In the following section, I aim to answer this question by describing the complex intra-action of play and measurement during “Becoming Sensate.”
Reconfiguration: The Creation of a Playing Body
During “Becoming Sensate” I played two games for my observations: Fallout 4 and Mojang’s Minecraft. Released by Bethesda in 2015, Fallout is an emotionally costly game: the very first play sequence imagines a nuclear holocaust, the loss of a child, and survival from mutant hostiles. A single 4-hour session going between the slow, silent crawl of movement and the frenzied violence of action felt more like work – exhausting, emotional work – than play. To contrast the first-person shooter experience with something more light-hearted, I also played Minecraft, a procedurally generated sandbox game where the goal is to explore unique worlds, craft items, build structures, and (optionally) fight off foes.
I power on R’s Xbox One, watch the Fallout 4 Vault-Tec load screen circle on the screen as I attach a flimsy heart rate sensor to my right earlobe. I’ve been told the ear is an appropriate place to find the human pulse, so I clip on the light-dependent phtocell sensor to my ear like costume jewelry. I’ve been watching the #NoDAPL news all day. The Dakota have drones now. I’m exhausted. A suit of power armor appears in a blown-out workstation somewhere near Concord, Inon Zur’s “The Last Mariner” playing. R’s wife, J, is preparing dinner in the next room, chicken smell somewhere in the house. R laughs, “You really are turning into a cyborg, aren’t you?” […] With Dogmeat by my side, I turn on Diamond City Radio. It’s Billie’s “Crazy He Calls Me.” I lock in a fusion cell and listen for the Deathclaw outside.
I found throughout the study that the line between action games like Fallout and more casual games like Minecraft was not a clear boundary. Casual games are defined as “structures of feeling” that “work on us and work us over…impinging on our feelings, our identities, and our everyday lives” (Anable, 2013, p. 3). I perceived Minecraft as fitting this definition, given its lack of prescriptive narrative and my ability to choose not to kill things, to walk through the game world and pick flowers or build houses. However, Fallout also impinged on my feelings, albeit in different ways: it asked me to pay attention to the narrative elements of a post-apocalyptic world and weigh my choices in survival and death, but I also could spend days modifying my arsenal and gathering weeds from the land for food. While most of my experience with Fallout was marked by negative feelings of fear and anxiety, Minecraft asked me to configure myself as a destroyer of the environment, something that also made me feel concern. There was something relaxing about digging up dirt cubes, until I opened up a cavern and plummeted to my death. In both of these games, there were configurations of different elements that blurred the line between casual and active, giving me an experience of gameplay as more generally a moment of intensity. That “structure of feeling” could be any feeling, not necessarily positive or negative, active or relaxed.
These structures of feelings – the emotional labor – of both games were in many ways configured by the pulse sensor itself. In these sessions, configured like a cyborg with an extrasensory attachment, my whole body was primed for a danger/fight-or-flight response. The sensor is a small component with an LED fashioned to be a clip on the end of a finger or the tip of an earlobe. I clipped it tightly (and painfully) to my ear so as to keep it attached during especially active moments of play. The sensor was then attached to an Arduino board, which was strapped to my shoulder using medical tape wrapped around my upper body. The wrapping, which acted as a binder, often cut off circulation to my extremities. In order for the whole apparatus to stay in place, I had to play with a hunch to my back and with my right shoulder close to my ear. The sensor constrained me, numbed me. It configured me as uncomfortable, fearful, tense, even pre-mammalian in my need to respond to threats.
I watched my spouse get killed and my baby stolen away. Then I woke up from the cryopod, and crept around the devastation of the vault. Between now and the time I started, I heard the buzzing of mutant cockroaches, saw the blinding light and absolute emptiness of my hometown post-fallout. There have been moments of silenc eand moments of chaos. There is the moment when I rise from the dark vault to the ashy surface of the earth and I see the devastation for the first time. Somber cello music couples with a single hawk flying over the blasted out remnants of the vault site. Not long after, giant mutant mole rats erupt out of the gorund near an abandoned gas station. It’s either loud or empty, fast or slow.
I see these experiences as a kind of proprioception made possible by the sensor, a new kind of organ that “makes feelings feel” (Shouse, 2005, p. 2). The entire contraption strapped to my body brought about a heightened sensitivity to emotion, to pain, and to feeling. I was permeable with my sensor on, always in response to the measuring apparatus and to some aspect of the game. The Enderman’s long, slow moan became louder because there was a pinching at my ear. The sad silence of my avatar’s hometown in Fallout was that much more deadening because of the numbness in my arm. Particularly during moments of intense feeling during play, I was captivated and captured by my sensor; I paid attention to the game in ways that were informed by my body’s interaction with my tool for observation.
The Agency of Data
While the sensor-as-object had a tremendous effect on my playing body, the numbers the sensor registered also played a significant role in the gaming assemblage. In one sense, higher numerical data represented moments where I was surprised or frightened, and lower data indicated moments of inaction or relaxing play. Numbers stood in for play, for what happened to my body in the moment of play.
I killed a pig today. Its unreal, square little bug-eyed face, uncanny valley for sure. I took its little round pink meat afterwards and placed it in the furnace slot above a piece of coal. Plug and play slaughter. I’m pretty sure my sensor fell off when I started getting slammed by what I now know is an Enderman. Wishing I could have caught the data from what I was feeling when that glitchy voice started in. I don’t think I’ve ever been more afraid of something in my life.
However, these assumptions about what my data represented are more in line with a positivist approach to knowledge, where an instrument of measurement captures an observable and already-existing reality. Some things would have been erased from the record if I had taken the reality that the data configured at face value. For example, sometimes nothing was being captured by the sensor: the Arduino still registered data when it was not attached to my ear. Many of the drastic spikes in numerical data were not a result of my heart responding to a moment of surprise or fear; they described moments when the sensor was pulled off during especially boisterous or physical play sessions. Even when the sensor is not there, there are still realities being configured that never actually happened. Other ways of watching – taking notes, for example – created other realities, ones of disruption and frustration at the sensor falling off, ones in which the reality being configured was that of a relationship between me and my sensor, not between me and my gameplay. Numerical data could only describe a certain reality, and not necessarily one that was more perfect as a result of its technology.
Barad (2003) argues that measurements are not representations of things; they are things, phenomena that result in certain realities played out in certain terms. My data was therefore a thing in and of itself, a result of the particular interactions between body, game, environment, and most importantly measuring apparatus. Instead of approaching my data as abstract and separate from me and my sensor, I see it as an integral player in how my experience was configured as dangerous or safe, exciting or boring. My sensor had agency; it became apart of me, acting on me, influencing me to see and feel the game in certain ways and with certain words. It could not describe my experience of play; it only described my experience of being measured, of coming to terms with being watched.
Conclusion: Experiencing Measurement, Making Meaning
After several months of watching my sensor watch me play games, I have come to understand play as deeply implicated by the tools I use to measure, observe, and reflect. My sensor, my body, my field notes – all the instruments that I use to make meaning – have particular effects and affects on me and what ends up being my experience of play. The data are not always representations of what play actually is; sometimes it is simply a tool misfiring, a different kind of moment being drawn into truth.
Our experiences of play are also experiences of measurement, of our tools watching us and paying attention to us through our interactions with them. These are the undercover agents that form what we know as play, what brings us to the screen to enter into new worlds, new feelings, and new intensities. Our goal as researchers, developers, and gamers is to thicken our data (Haraway & Goodeve, 2000), to account for what is there that moves us, for what shapes our experiences. As we seek to reveal the hidden actors and factors in how our experiences of play are formed, we should look to the agencies of our measuring tools as yet another avenue for making meaning.

Reptilian Disc Golf Serpent Review
The second release from Reptilian Disc Golf is the new Serpent putter to go along side the previously released Scale. The Serpent brings a straighter flight when compared to it’s Scale cousin. You won’t get a lot of fade out of the Serpent and you can trust a very consistent flight time and time again.
Reptilian Disc Golf says this about their new putter:
The Serpent features the RDG top paired with a beadless bottom to produce a much straighter, more beginner friendly PnA mold.
The Serpent is easily one of the most gyroscopic discs on the market. You can just feel how much mass is on the wing of this mold. The flight plate feels as though it is weightless, while the rim is incredibly dense. Because of the weight concentration, these Serpents are very flexible but still hold their shape beautifully.
Reptilian Disc Golf sent us a Serpent in both a Chalk RFF plastic and Fossil plastic. The Chalk RFF plastic has that expected chalky feel as the name implies and a much softer touch. The Chalk RFF Serpent is much more flexible and can easily be flexed by the hand. The flight plate has a lot of give to it and can actually hold a small change in shape after digging your thumb into it. If you are a fan of softer putters, this will be up your alley.
On the other side of things, the Fossil Serpent is about as stiff as you can possibly be. It’s surprisingly stiff almost to an extreme. There is no movement in the Fossil plastic. While we were easily able to almost bend the Chalk RFF Serpent in half, we were afraid of snapping the Fossil plastic in two as it was so hard. The flight plate had a small amount of give thanks to the thin flight plate, but that rim isn’t going to move. Some who were able to test it with us found it to be almost too stiff for them.
The Serpent features a very blunt nose and a relatively deep feel to it. It is a beadless putter and thanks to that blunt nose almost feels bigger than it really is. If you prefer a shallower putter, this might not be your top choice, but if you like that deeper, almost lid-like, feel, the Serpent might be the ticket.
The top of the Serpent has the same thumbtrack like groove that the Scale has. Your thumb likely won’t be placed directly in it due to the placement it close to the end of the flight plate. It doesn’t really come into play and shouldn’t be anything to worry about.
As for the flight, we began using the Serpent off the tee and did notice a much straighter flight than the Scale. While the Scale wanted to fade with some power at the end of the flight, the Serpent showed much calmer flight. There is a hint of turn, but it won’t be too dramatic. At high speeds the Serpent will be nice and straight regardless of your release angle. With a little hyzer it might flip up just a hair, while a throw with a little anhyzer on it will hold that line before wanting to fade out of it. You can really get a lot of control out of it.
As it continues down toward the basket you’ll see a little bit of fade kick in. The fade began a little earlier than expected, but it still wanted to fly forward. It never really dumps that hard to the left, but it will finish left of center. We suspect that once it beats in a little bit you’ll see this fade become even softer as time goes on.
The one feature of the flight that stood out the most was the glide, especially in the Fossil plastic. The Chalk RFF Serpent had an expected amount of glide, although it still wasn’t a lot. The Fossil Serpent on the other hand really lacked in the glide department. We were surprised the first few times we threw the Fossil Serpent and watched it just drop quickly. We threw it along side some other similar putters and it never quite had the glide the others do.
The lack of glide became useful as we were using the Serpent on small approach shots and inside the circle as a putter. We knew it wasn’t going to glide past the basket and we could give it just enough power to make it there. When putting inside the circle, spin putters seemed to like it a little more as they were able to really just go right at the center of the chains and give it some power to nail the putt. Pitch putters found they needed to give it a little more height to help it carry a full arc toward the basket. It will take a few throws to get a feel for just how much glide the Serpent has and how you need to use that to your advantage.
Reptilian Disc Golf rates the Serpent at 3, 3, -0.5, 1. We’d adjust that to a 3, 2, -0.5, 1 and could even say the Fossil Serpent has a 1 or 1.5 for glide.
The flight chart from inbounds Disc Golf shows the slight turn we saw before just a hair of a fade. If you’re looking for a straight putter that you can have a lot of control over, the Serpent might be it.
The Reptilian Disc Golf Serpent isn’t going to do anything too crazy. It won’t have any big skip finishes and it won’t show big s-curve style shots. It isn’t meant to do that though. It is built to be a putter with a straight flight that you can have control on. If you want the straight flight, you can do it. If you want to put it on a little hyzer, give it the angle and the height needed and it will do the rest. The deeper feel and blunt nose will really give you a full feel which can translate to a lot of confidence in your shot. If there is one shot in disc golf you need confidence with it is with your putter and the Reptilian Disc Golf Serpent hopes to make that confidence level go up.

dear Dharma brother and sister!
posted Feb 19, 2012, 1:04 AM by Khenpo Karten [ updated May 1, 2012, 2:08 PM by Pema Choephel ]
Dear Dharma brother and sister of Khenpo Karten Rinpoche,
We invite you to join us for Monday night Amitābha practice with Rinpoche on Feb. 20, at 6:30 p.m. at Wave St. Studios, 774 Wave St., Monterey, CA 93940. Please arrive early for some quiet meditation before we begin. All are welcome to join us; feel free to bring a friend to our Sangha.
We would also like to you know about a special time with Rinpoche on Wed., Feb. 22, 2 p.m. for a commemoration of Losar, the Tibetan New Year. Usually, this is an occasion of great joy, with special food, singing and dancing. This year, the Dalai Lama has requested that Tibetans around the world forgo all celebration, but instead gather quietly to pray and remember the many Tibetans who have died recently in the escalating struggle for freedom in their homeland. Rinpoche would like us to come together for this occasion and say the Amitābha prayer with him. Please consider joining us to show our support for him and his fellow Tibetans.
The series of Public Talks to be offered by Rinpoche. David Molk will translate from the Tibetan. These talks will be meaningful to all who are interested in applying Buddhist wisdom to create a more meaningful life. Please invite your friends to join us, and take some flyers we'll bring on Monday to help us spread the word. All Public Talks are scheduled on Fridays from 7 to 9 p.m. I will send you a separate e-mail you can forward to your friends to invite them to join us. We are planning other publicity, including ads in the local papers and various calendar listings. Also, please go to Rinpoche's Facebook (Khenpo Karten) where he has posted the flyer for the teachings. You can "like" them and "share" them to let your friends know about the teachings. Rinpoche loves social media, and I'm learning to like them! It would be great to get a good turn-out for these teachings.
Feb. 24 Four Noble Truths Wave Street Studio
March 30 Happiness in a Troubled World Pacific Coast Church, Pacific Grove
April 13 Being in the Here and Now Pacific Coast Church, Pacific Grove
TAKING REFUGE: Rinpoche announced last week that he will offer refuge in the near future. Please sign up at Monday practice if you would like to take this step which will "help you open the door to Buddhism," according to Rinpoche. There is no extra time commitment required to take refuge, it's simply a brief ceremony with Rinpoche after repeating a vow to the Three Jewels--the Buddha, the Dharma (Buddhist teachings) and the Sangha (Buddhist community). Taking refuge is absolutely voluntary, but important if one intends to continue on the Buddhist path. Please feel free to ask any questions about taking refuge you may have at our next Monday night practice.
We appreciate the Wave Street Studio's generous offering of their space for our practice and for the first Public Talk, which will be streamed live to Rinpoche's students around the world. Check out the studio's other programs and facility at http://livenetworks.tv/
Please call my number below for further information. Hope to see you on Monday and again on Wednesday at Wave Street!
Heidi Feldman
Tashi Delek,
On behalf of Khenpo Karten Rinpoche

Self Help Graphics & Art Supports Latino Artwork
| annual print fair and exhibition, Arts+Culture, Chicano, Day of the Dead, east los angeles, latino, Los Angeles, printmaking, Self Help Graphics and Art, silkscreen
Brianne Walker |
July 11, 2011 | 8:26 p.m. PDT
Latino artists of all ages develop and enhance their techniques at Self Help Graphics & Art. The nationally recognized center for Latino art has been helping emerging and young Latino artists since 1972.
Located in Boyle Heights, the visual arts and cultural center advances art through exhibitions, classes and outreach to artists all over Los Angeles. People can learn a variety of types of art techniques there, such as wood block carving, graffiti, paper mache, photography and t-shirt printing. For young artists, there is a free summer program called “Soy Artista” (Summer of Youth Art Program) that has a variety of workshops.
Mono silkscreens, a type of art, were pioneered at Self Help. Silkscreening is the process where a screen is stretched on an open window, and the artist paints on the screen and then pulls it off.
Jose Alpuche, Self Help's master printer and spiritual guide, assists people in creating these silkscreen serigraphs and monoprints. Alpuche, who has worked at Self Help for twenty years, teaches the artists how to reproduce their original work. He said every print made is inspected, signed and numbered by the artist with his supervision. And therefore, each print is a limited edition print.
Alpuche says he enjoys working at Self Help because he also has the opportunity to create his own artwork there and meet many other artists.
“It's a very good environment to work with artists," he said. "Here, you get to meet the artists and give back to the community your expertise. It's a little bit more rewarding.”
Alpuche applauds the center as being “a very original cultural center” because of Self Help's focus on print making and visual art.
“The other art centers have different activities, like dance and music. But Self Help is what started not only the Chicano art movement but also the Day of the Dead celebration,” Alpuche said.
At Self Help's Day of the Dead celebration, the artists congregate at the Evergreen cemetery to make paper mache cadaveras (or skeletons), masks and other objects that are related to the departed. Food and music also accompany the arts and crafts.
Besides its Day of the Dead celebration, Self Help also holds an annual print fair and exhibition. All prints produced throughout the years are displayed and later available for sale. The center has a fundraiser that day as well.
Self Help is one of the only places in Los Angeles where people can view artwork from Chicano legends (like Frank Romero and Diane Gamboa), up-and-coming art stars (like Shizu Saldamando and Vincent Valdez), and kids.

A story of how a little thing like a cyclone bring us into the moment.
December 28th I went to India to spend some time with a project we are helping there that trains village mechanics to make wind turbines. The plan was to sit around with the founder and the CEO I'd helped find and work on the business plan.
I noticed as we flew that the plane's track didn't go direct from Singapore to Chennai but flew north all around the Bay of Bengal, to avoid a storm, but we landed fine in some rain, and as we drove south a few hours the rain disappeared.
I arrived at Auroville, picked up a motorbike, and met some friends for dinner. I was told there was a cyclone warning, but not to worry as this happened several times a year, but that plans tomorrow might be disrupted a little.
Four hours later the light rain intensifies for about 5 hours it rained non-stop, there don't seem to be measurements but I heard 50cm (20"). Then 5 hours of wind from one direction, up to 140 km/h (90mph) - the wind blew straight through where I was trying to sleep as it only had mosquito nets. All around I could hear trees falling. Twice during the night people arrived looking for shelter as their places were in even worse condition. The bottom story was concrete but the bamboo walls of the room on top blew away and they evacuated with their baby.
Early morning we are "woken" (we weren't really sleeping, just huddled on the floor listening) by someone needing help - a tree had fallen on the cowshed which had fallen on the bull. It was lying in a weird position with hits eyes rolled back in its head, and we worked with hand-saws to cut the tree as we watched for wind-blown branches and bits of flying roofing. Amazingly it was alive, and started bucking wildly as we finished the job, making it even more hazardous.
Around this time the wind changed direction - so we knew we were half way - 5 more hours of wind, another 5 of rain and it was done. But .. the orchard was gone, the padi (rice and other grain) crop flattened, water everywhere, I was most worried as I waded through puddles in the farm about infecting a bad cut on my toe, but you have to stay focused so we started pushing trees back up and propping them with branches.
The roads of course were impassable, trees down every 10 meters or so, it took till midday the next day to clear the trees (with hand-saws) so I could ride the motorbike into town with someone who had a flight to catch. 70% of the forest had fallen and it looked like a game of pick-up-sticks. Almost all the power poles had fallen, so there was no power for pumping water, or internet, or phones, and it took weeks to get the power back to everyone.
A trip like this brings me back to the reality of working in and for sustainable poverty alleviation, I learned what it means to have no toilet, no power, to be really unsure about water quality, to be out of touch with the world.
It also teaches you about the incredible personal resilience of people - very few were complaining, people first got on with fixing immediate problems and then got back to life, I'd sit with farm workers and someone would ask them how they were doing, they'd talk about the tree that flattened their house and then get back to work. Within a few days we had found where we could access clean water, power to charge laptops and phones and so on.

Phoenix Shooting of Unarmed Black Man Draws Comparison to Michael Brown and Eric Garner Cases - News Update
Jose Serrano | staff@latinopost.com
Dec 04, 2014 10:14 PM EST
A white Phoenix police officer fatally shot an unarmed black man twice in the torso Tuesday night, bringing into question whether excessive force was used.
Sgt. Trent Crump, a Phoenix police spokesman, said the incident began when officers responding to a suspected drug deal approached 34-year-old Rumain Brisbon as he got out of a black Cadillac SUV. As Brisbon began removing something from the back of the SUV, an unnamed officer told Brisbon to show his hands. Brisbon instead stuffed his hands into his waistband, at which point the officer drew a gun.
A foot chase ensued and the officer tussled with Brisbon in a nearby apartment complex. Brisbon refused to comply as the two tumbled inside a woman's apartment.
"The officer now has not got his hand grasped around the suspects hand, it is in the suspect's pocket, and the suspect's hand is trying to hold his hand in his pocket," Crump said in speaking with Fox 10 Phoenix. "The suspect is trying to remove his hand and ultimately the officer's grip breaks, he breaks free and as soon as he does, (the officer) pulls out his weapon."
What the officer believed to be a gun handle turned out to be a bottle of oxycodone pills. Police say the found a semiautomatic handgun and marijuana in the vehicle Brisbon ran from. Brisbon was serving five years of probation related to a 1998 burglary conviction and had been booked multiple times on suspicion of driving under the influence.
Brandon Dickinson, who said he was in the SUV shortly before the shooting, said Brisbon was simply dropping off food from McDonalds to his children. "I didn't hear the police say nothing, I didn't hear them say freeze or anything of a police nature, i heard it afterwards, but I did not hear it before," said Dickerson. Crump expects numerous witnesses to challenge the officer's account.
Phoenix police quickly released a vivid account of what transpired in an effort to promote transparency.
Crump's statement came as a Staten Island grand jury chose not to indict Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the chokehold death of Eric Garner early Wednesday, and just over a week after a Missouri grand jury chose not to indict Ferguson officer Darren Wilson for the fatal shooting of teenager Michael Brown.
Protestors chanted "I can't breathe" and "Hands up, don't shoot" as they rallied in places like Oakland and Manhattan, the latter coined in the wake of Brown's death last summer. Brown, like Brisbon, was unarmed when a white police officer killed him.
A community rally for Brisbon plans to head downtown Thursday night and a public march is scheduled for Friday.

I was assured by several Home Secretary's and Home Office ministers that should Oldfield commit another crime with a blade he would be lifed off, so why is his liberty still being given when Crown Court Judges are deeming him to be Dangerous?
I was told in a letter dated 04 June 2001 (one year to the day my brother died,) By Lord Bassam on behalf of Charles Clarke the then Home Secretary
"The Crime Sentences Act 1997 introduced provisions requiring that those convicted of a second serious violent or sexual offence should receive an automatic life sentence, and be kept in prison for as long as it is considered that they would pose a serious risk to the public if released on licence. The offences included in this provision themselves carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment. The likely reason why Mr Oldfield was not given an automatic life sentence is that any previous offences that he was convicted of was not a qualifying offence for the purpose of this section."
So my argument now is - Oldfield has twice since killing my brother been convicted of using a blade and carrying one while on licence, the Judge at Leeds Crown Court deemed him as dangerous, why has he still not received a life sentence? Does he really have to kill again before that will be classed as a serious enough offence?
1. To give ALL victims the right to appeal a murder/manslaughter cases if they feel things have gone wrong.
If the person charged with the crime thinks the case went wrong they have the right to appeal, victims of murder/manslaughter have no recourse apart from asking the Attorney General to look at lenient sentences. That is providing you even get to sentencing, This is not acceptable. Dead men cannot speak, so when your loved ones character is tarnished by a defence lawyer and perpertrator and your loved one cannot defend themselves, someone should, the Crown Prosecution failed us and have failed many more like us, by allowing deals to be done.
2. Timings of murder cases should NEVER be within 4 weeks of Christmas.
Our case ended on the 22nd December 2000, it was obviously rushed so the defence and prosecution could get away for Christmas, and I believe the jury were not concentrating on the case at hand and just wanted to get out of the courtroom and prepare for their Christmases. My sisters two children aged 4 and 5 never had Christmas that year as we were heartbroken and had no heart to have one.
3. Now the offence of manslaughter with provocation is a conviction which was abolished on 4th October 2010 I feel that every case which received manslaughter with provocation before that date where families are still up in arms should be reviewed.
Oldfield was never a reasonable man his nickname is "Rampton" now we know why he was called that. I believe his actions since killing Joey have proved how reasonable he is, Justice Penry Davey made a grave error by allowing manslaughter with provocation to be given at the trial.
4. All misdemeanors should be taken into account and the sentence should run consecutively. Oldfield was up for several drink driving charges before he killed my brother, he knew that there was a possibility of a custodial sentence and did not want my brother to be out enjoying life. At sentencing the drink driving offences and stealing petrol is all forgot as they only take note of the most serious offence, this is wrong.
5. Make other people stand trial if they did not warn the deceased they were in danger.
The woman in the flat who lied on the stand and had visited Oldfield in prison should have been in the dock with him, she had every chance to tell Joey he was going to kill him and she did nothing, just because she had children she should not have got away scot free, she was as guilty as him.
6. Make prisons into prisons, they commit the crime let them do the time, Make a deterrent! Give anyone found carrying a knife a minimum 3 years. It is so good Oldfield keeps returning, and so do thousands more each year, I was born with rheumatoid arthritis and have stayed in hospitals with more rules and regulations than these killers are having to abide by, my brothers killer is costing the tax payer £34000 a year to be locked up with a tv use of telephone, yoga classes, playstation, I don't get £34000 spent on me to keep my joints active and keep me mobile so why does a murderer?
7. Make the sentence the exact time they have to stay behind bars, do not say 7 years and then release them after 3 years. Make 7 years 7 Years.
8. Raise more awareness and spend more money on victims children, many are left traumatised with no one to help them, the only people who help victims are GP's SAMM's group, Victims Voice, these need extra funding to help support bereaved families.
9. Stop all prisoners smoking behind bars, Stop The Court of Human Rights interfering with our Judicial System. Stop all compensation been given to criminals, if they make a complaint let them make it, and if it is founded and compensation is awarded put it in a victims fund, do not let them have it, had they not have committed a crime then they would not need to complain about how they are treated and kept.
10. When mistakes are made, and lies are told, we should have the right to speak up for our loved ones.
Prosecution lawyer now Judge Graham Morrow allowed Oldfield to make untrue allegations about my brothers character and failed to tell the jury about Oldfield's knife conviction, he states he was unaware? Why was he unaware the police knew about it? It was on the police printout, I also spoke to Tom Morton from the CPS regarding it, had Mr Morrow have spoken to us he would have been informed, but he never spoke one word to us.
Due to this I feel it should only be right that Victims such as myself should be able to go to a Criminal Cases Review Board with a solicitor of my choice to discuss the case and if we can provide enough evidence to prove the case fell short of being fair and just, we should be able to go before the High Court and have the manslaughter conviction overturned. Why should we the victims family live with the knowledge that our loved ones provoked their own death when this is totally untrue? In Joey's case Oldfield has proven to be the dangerous perpertrator as he has since being released on this charge he has gone on to commit further knife crimes, What does he have to do KILL AGAIN before the Justice System does something?
I want a Victims Criminal Cases Review Board, where any victims family (not just mine) or solicitor working for them could appeal to the the board. If a solicitor of the victims choice can prove things went wrong in their case they should have recourse, a Victims Criminal Cases Review Board could take their case to the Attorney General or The High Court - Like people convicted wrongly can, victims need comparable rights to offenders. We are the forgotton - We lose our Loved Ones - We trust in the police cps barristers judges they are all fallible, they make mistakes and we have to live with it, we serve the life sentence, the least we should be given is the right to recourse. Where is our Human Rights?
Justice should be for all.

Weekly Sun Scopes Horoscopes for Week of November 30 2014
General for Week Commencing: Monday 01 December 2014
Aries Monday 01 December 2014 Mar 21 - Apr 19
This week the most urgent focus is on Mars during his final days in your career sector, before leaving on Friday. Having returned much earlier in the year than is normally the case Mars is charged with firing up your professional passions and fighting spirit, ready for Venus' return next week to attract the opportunities and attention needed to take things to the next level. That might be easier said than done, for Mars is facing a formidable line up of planets in an adventurous part of your chart that may at times make it hard to keep your professional hat on. Yet this is one time when, at least during the working week, where professional matters are the more urgent. Over the weekend a more social focus comes into play, with the weekend's Full Moon ideal for connecting.
Taurus Monday 01 December 2014 Apr 20 - May 20
A week that not only begins as a fairly ordinary week but where, on both the financial and professional fronts, it is going to seem like more of a case of slowly bringing things home, is set to end very differently. With Jupiter spending his last full week in direct motion in your financial sector, he's slowing down, calling for a slow and steady approach to financial and money matters, while work forces have reached a point where a steady momentum has been found. It's over the weekend that everything changes; beginning with Mar's return to your career sector on Friday and culminating in a Full Moon in your income sector over the weekend. All of a sudden your professional year is set to roar back to life and to catch it's second wind, bringing income opportunities along for the ride.
Gemini Monday 01 December 2014 May 21 - Jun 21
The focus will always be on your relationships at this time of year, with the Sun always spending the first 3 weeks of December in your relationship sector. The only thing out of the norm is the amount of focus and the fact that you've not only got a clear sense of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you, but the determination to make it happen. This is not only a stepping stone to something much better, this week support kicks in from social and communication forces to make this an incredibly good week for friendship and relationship building. With Mars leaving your financial sector on Friday there may be some financial urgency, but it's more about getting the ball rolling. The weekend's Full Moon will bring the personal and relationship wakeup calls you need.
Cancer Monday 01 December 2014 Jun 22 - Jul 22
There'll be a need to have your professional hat on from the get go and that's not just because of a line up of planets in your work sector. The Moon's position in the career sector in the early days of the week is likely to trigger your professional instincts, Eureka moments and 20/20 hindsight, along with a better read on developing income, work and career matters. This comes in a week where you'll also somehow need to make time for matters of the heart and your relationships, both of which will be fighting for your attention and justifiably so. This is forcing you to make finding a balance between work and play a priority, something that is set to become even harder when Mars returns to your financial sector on Friday to fire up your financial passions and fighting spirit.
Leo Monday 01 December 2014 Jul 23 - Aug 22
The battle to find a balance between work and play heats up this week, but considering this is a balancing act you'll need to master over the coming years, with neither side back down any time soon, the more you can master it the better. With Mars not only leaving your work sector on Friday but the Moon returning to your career sector midweek to help bring things home, things are set to become more rather than less professionally focused. Yet with Venus spending her last full week in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart and Mercury his first, you're not going to get away with letting life become all work and play. Behind forces on both fronts are resources that will continue to plug their respective courses for the next 3 years. This battle is here to stay.
Virgo Monday 01 December 2014 Aug 23 - Sep 22
Make the most of the sense of normality in the early days of the week, in terms of both your personal and professional lives chugging along as usual and the chance you have to make home and family matters a priority. For while all those things will remain important your professional life is due to roar back into life this week and stay that way for the rest of the year, over the Christmas/New Year period and into the first 3 months of 2015. While the weekend's Full Moon in your career sector will be a major contributor to this, the real game changer is Mars' return to your work sector on Friday, kicking off some of the busiest weeks of not only this year but the last 2 years. Before Mars even gets there make a commitment to working smarter and to smart time management.
Libra Monday 01 December 2014 Sep 23 - Oct 23
The Moon's return to your relationship sector on Monday is a case of perfect timing for while, as the last visit while Uranus in retrograde motion this is likely to stir up a lot of old emotional responses, it comes at the perfect time to clear the air. With Venus, planet of love spending her last full week in your communication sector and Mercury, planet of communication his first, this was always going to be an important and valuable week for communication, but there is something much bigger building behind the scenes. With support from lucky Jupiter, in his last full week in direct motion in your friendship sector and from Uranus in your relationship sector, this creates an auspicious week for friendship and relationship building and for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough.
Scorpio Monday 01 December 2014 Oct 24 - Nov 21
You'll need to have your money and professional hats on from the get go this week, with different factors coming together to make this an auspicious week for income, work and career matters. With Venus spending her last full week in your income sector and Mercury his first, this was always going to be both a good week for income matters, but also a stepping stone for something much bigger, set to unfold over the coming months and especially in the New Year. While the Moon's return to your work sector on Monday will give you an intuitive edge and naturally draw income and work matters together, this will give you an intuitive read on some major support coming from both work and career forces. Finding a balance between work and play may be a problem but you can make up for that later.
Sagittarius Monday 01 December 2014 Nov 22 - Dec 21
While, with Mars in his final days in your income sector, there's bound to be a sense of urgency on the income front and with the Moon returning to your work sector mid week a need to keep your work hat on this week, there isn't the urgency you might think there is. Coming full circle from last month's Full Moon the Moon's return to your work sector is likely to see a lot of things fall into place, making it easier to line up the right glass ceilings on the income front. However, while Mars will leave your income sector on Friday, with Venus returning next week the real opportunities haven't even begun to unfold. In the meantime, your birthday month is being supported by playful and adventurous forces that are reminding you that this year you get to call the shots, needing more from life.
Capricorn Monday 01 December 2014 Dec 22 - Jan 19
With the wind down of your birthday month underway and especially with Venus in her last full week in a reflective, intuitive and imaginative part of your chart and Mercury in his first there's a need for time to hear yourself think and for navel gazing this won't pull the rug out from under you as it may have in the past. For with Mars not only already in your sign but getting ready to leave on Friday, there's already an impatient need to move on, but you've already got a good sense of what excites you, your passions and fighting spirit. It's Mars' return to your income sector on Friday that is set to be a real game changer, especially when taken in conjunction with the weekend's Full Moon in your work sector. All of a sudden you're back in the game, ready to smash some glass ceilings.
Aquarius Monday 01 December 2014 Jan 20 - Feb 18
While, with Saturn moving into his final 3 weeks in your career sector on Wednesday, there's not only a need to keep your professional hat on but to adopt a steely sense of resolve when it comes to bringing this professional year home by Christmas, you won't get away with the all or nothing approach of the past. When you're on the job you need to be there 100 percent, doing whatever it takes, for as long as it takes. However social forces make this such an important week for social matters and for personal and professional networking that life can't be all work and no play. That will be especially so over the weekend, with Mars not only returning to your relationship sector on Friday but a Full Moon in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart over the weekend.
Pisces Monday 01 December 2014 Feb 19 - Mar 20
The only thing that can stop this week becoming all work and no play or overwhelmingly professionally focused will be the Full Moon in your home and family sector over the weekend, which will be charged with an attempt to address any work/life balance issues. While you have an incredibly fortunate professional week, with Venus spending her last full week in your career sector just as Mercury is spending his first, a partnership is developing between income, work and career forces. The Moon's visit to your income sector in the early days of the week will give you a nose for money as you start to gain some serious traction, but also just how much support there is on the income and work fronts. The weekend's Full Moon in your home and family sector is chance for some work/life balance.

Mentioned with Mother Angelica; An open letter to the Salesian Missions
By Matt C. Abbott
I must admit: It's rather depressing to have to endure eight years of an Obama presidency, the distinct possibility of a Hillary presidency, and however many more months or years of the perplexing pontificate of Pope Francis.
However, I was delighted to see my name recently mentioned in the same sentence as the late saintly Mother Angelica.
A Catholic historian – who doesn't reveal his/her real name but does devote several sentences on his/her blog "What Sister Never Knew and Father Never Told You" to bragging about his/her education and work – wrote in an April 22 post:
I will be the first to say that the American hierarchy should have long ago sidelined [Michael] Voris – along with the late Mother Angelica, Judie Brown, Michael Hichborn, Matt Abbott and others who set themselves up as an alternative magisterium...
Praise Jesus that I'm included in this historian-blogger's list of (faithful) Catholics whom "the American hierarchy should have long ago sidelined"! I'm in good company.
And speaking of the aforementioned Michael Hichborn...
The Lepanto Institute recently posted an open letter to Father Mark Hyde of the Salesian Missions, which reads (in part):
Dear Father Hyde,
As you may recall, last fall, the Lepanto Institute published a report regarding the Life Choices program implemented through the Salesian Missions' Office of International Programs, whose director is Jaime Correa-Montalvo.
In that report, we illustrated training manuals found on the Salesian Life Choices website showing that the program promoted abortifacient contraception, masturbation and condom use. We also provided saved copies of Salesian Life Choices newsletters, proving that students were not only taught this information, but that they repeated what they learned about abortifacient contraception and condom use in their own articles, which were published by the Salesian Life Choices program and distributed to over 15,000 other youths....
Since the publication of our report on this program, I have communicated by email with Father Francois Dufour, provincial superior of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Southern Africa. Father Dufour confirmed that the information I obtained regarding the Salesian Life Choices training manuals was correct and accurate.
Father Dufour, in his own words, said that he was 'duly horrified when [he] got to examine the full training manual' and ordered that it be destroyed. He admitted that 'I did not, when I took over as provincial in 2007, monitor the program – there never was any complaint against it that called more attention to it.' He also assured me that the training manuals the Lepanto Institute reported as having been implemented by the Salesian Missions in South Africa 'have been banned from use by Life Choices henceforth.'
Unfortunately, the statement issued by your office is in direct conflict with Father Durfour's admission as well as the facts contained in our initial report.
Related to all of this, some new and greatly disturbing information has come to light regarding your director of the Office of International Programs, Jaime Correa-Montalvo. As mentioned earlier, Mr. Correa-Montalvo was the one responsible for the Life Choices program implemented in South Africa.
What we have discovered is that Mr. Correa-Montalvo has engaged in highly inappropriate activity on LinkedIn, calling into immediate question his ability to discern and commit to Catholic moral teaching. The main page of Mr. Correa-Montalvo's LinkedIn profile indicates that he is a member of the LinkedIn group Human Rights Campaign (the most prominent same-sex 'marriage' lobbyists in the country).
In addition to this, Mr. Correa-Montalvo's activity on LinkedIn includes 'liking' advertisements for male homosexual bondage accessories and images of mostly nude male models....
Click here to read the letter in its entirety.
To date, the Salesian Missions has not responded to Michael Hichborn's letter. Nor have they responded to an email inquiry from me on the matter.

Tottenham enter talks over signing of £53m star, club hopeful of deal
Tottenham are believed to have made their first approach towards the possible recruitment of promising defender Matthijs De Ligt.
The future of Toby Alderweireld has remained unresolved, forcing Spurs into looking for a potential replacement before matters get too late in the transfer window ahead of what will be an important season in the club’s history.
Based on a report by the London Evening Standard, Tottenham have entered discussions with Ajax over the purchase of De Light.
The young centre-back is rated highly by scouts of various big clubs and it comes as no surprise that his signature is being pursued before his potential is fully reached.
Tottenham are reportedly hopeful of a deal being struck with Ajax whom they have successfully done business with in the past as Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen were bought.
Spanish source Mundo Deportivo have reported that Tottenham will have to break their own transfer record to secure a move for De Ligt from Ajax, with the Dutch side demanding a £53 million fee for the centre-back.
Pochettino is recognised for his ability to nurture the youth and therefore, this would be a typical signing in regards to his long-term philosophy.

Disadvantages Of A Structured Settlement How Do I Surrender My Annuity? How Can I Sell My Annuity? How To Sell An Annuity Can I Withdraw Annuity Principal?
By Doug Bui - StockMonkeys Member
A Structured Settlement is essentially an agreement under which an insurance company agrees to pay an individual a predetermined amount of cash for a fixed length of time if the individual meets an accident. The documents generated in a structured settlement include an agreement, a qualified assignment, an annuity application, a court order if a claim is made by a minor, and an annuity policy.
Payments for a structured settlement annuity can be made for the duration of the life of the claimant. The amount paid can comprise of equal installments, installments of varying amounts, and lump sums. The payments from a Structured Settlement Annuity are free from income-tax and are guaranteed by contract. Since a structured settlement annuity is meant for long-term financial security, it is important to get an assurance of the credentials of the annuity provider.
The periodicity of payment is entered into the settlement agreement. Factors that individuals can consider in deciding upon the date of commencement of payment, duration, and periodicity include monthly expenses, present age, extent of hazard in occupation, and retirement plans. In order to ensure that the payments remain tax-free, the structure of payments should not be altered once it has been agreed upon by both parties. In the case of a qualified assignment, the insurance company making the payment can transfer its obligation for payments to a third party.
There are issues that one should understand before opting for a structured settlement agreement. If payments are made to an estate, they are free from income tax but subject to estate tax. Purchasing a structured annuity can affect the availability of ready money with an individual.
State and federal laws govern the closing of a structured settlement. The closing process usually gets completed in 3-6 months. Federal laws stipulate that a court order be obtained by either the customer or the funding company that is purchasing the payment stream so that there are no tax liabilities. The manner in which the court order is obtained is regulated by various "Structured Settlement Protection Acts", which are in force in 36 states in the United States.
A disclosure statement is made available to a customer 3 to 14 days before he receives the transfer agreement. The disclosure statement mentions the amounts to be paid to the customer and their due dates; the IRS Discounted Present Value of the amount at that given point in time; the Gross Advance Amount and the Annual Discount Rate; disclosures desired by the state; and a list of the fees and commissions incurred.
It is advisable to avail attorney advice before going in for a. In fact, in some states, it is a precondition to acquiring a structured settlement annuity. However, depending upon the laws being used for the transaction, customers do have the option of waiving legal representation in the Transfer Agreement or obtain an Estoppel letter from their attorney.
The funding company commences payment to an individual after acknowledging the assignment and receiving a court order. The payments start 30-45 days after the receipt of the court order.

Hand hygiene impacts health and COVID-19
Handwashing with soap can help reduce the transmission of a range of diseases:
Handwashing can reduce diarrheal diseases by 30% to 48%.
Handwashing can reduce acute respiratory infections by 20%.
Handwashing plays an important role in reducing the transmission of outbreak-related pathogens such as Cholera, Ebola, shigellosis, SARS and hepatitis E.
Hand hygiene is protective against healthcare-associated infections and reduces the spread of antimicrobial resistance.

Handwashing and Health Facts
Hands are the principal carriers of disease-causing germs. It is estimated that if handwashing with soap is widely practiced, approximately 230,000 deaths could be averted.
A single gram of human feces can contain 10 million viruses and one million bacteria.
Handwashing promotion in the community in low-and middle-income countries was found to prevent about 28% of diarrheal episodes by increasing handwashing at key moments. Providing soap in interventions seems to increase the size of the effect.
Prevalence of diseases attributable to no handwashing has steadily declined since the 1990s; between 2000 and 2015, lost DALYs attributed to no handwashing have declined by 19%.
Diarrheal disease is a critical global public health issue. Each year, there are nearly 1.7 billion cases of diarrhea.
Diarrheal disease is the second leading cause of death in children under 5, killing 525,000 each year.22 Diarrhea isresponsible for 9% of all deaths in the under-five age group despite the existence of simple effective treatment.
Handwashing alone can reduce the risk of diarrheal disease by up to 44%.Evidence shows that hygiene is as important as water and sanitation in reducing diarrhea.
Lack of access to sanitation and poor hygiene contribute to approximately 88% of childhood deaths caused by diarrheal diseases.
Study participants who washed hands with soap had 36% fewer fecal bacteria (8%), while those rinsing with only water showed 21% fewer than those who did not wash hands at all.
Handwashing with soap can reduce the risk of respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, by 16%.
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 5 resulting in 921,000 childhood deaths in 2015, or 16% of all deaths in the age group, most of them affecting those under the age of 2.
Pneumonia and diarrhea remain major killers of young children. Together, these diseases account for 29% of all deaths of children under 5 years of age and result in the loss of 2 million young lives each year.
72% of deaths associated with diarrhea and 81% associated with pneumonia happen in the first 2 years of life, suggesting that an increased emphasis on prevention and treatment in neonates and children younger than 2 years is crucial.
Nearly three-quarters of mortality associated with diarrhea and pneumonia is concentrated in 15 high-burden countries
Handwashing education in the community reduces the number of people who become ill with diarrhea by 31%, reduces diarrheal illness among people with weakened immune systems by 58%, and reduces respiratory infections by up to 21%.
A recent study indicated that in some developing countries, annual net costs of diarrhea and pneumonia incur more than $12 billion per year, while estimated costs of a national handwashing program would be less than $100 million and bring $2-5 billion in savings.
Evidence suggests that access to soap and water can help improve child growth. It is estimated that handwashing with soap and clean drinking water could reduce the loss of nutrients through diarrhea and reduce stunting in children under 5 by up to 15%.
Good handwashing can help reduce undernutrition, which contributes to 73% of the diarrheal deaths each year.
The number of times a child’s hands were washed per day and the use of soap were two of seven independent predictors of stunting in children under 5. Each additional handwashing episode per day decreased the likelihood of child stunting by 24%. Never or rarely using soap during a child’s handwashing was associated with a 3.6-times higher risk of stunting.

Unlike household access to drinking-water and sanitation, no global mechanism exists to monitor handwashing practices in homes and communities. Furthermore, it is difficult to obtain reliable global estimates on handwashing with soap. However, in a recent systematic review of 42 studies of observed handwashing with soap in 19 countries, it was estimated that only 19% of people worldwide wash their hands after potential contact with excreta (Freeman et al., 2014). Despite indications of their importance for health and nutrition, few rigorous data exist on food and environmental hygiene practices.
Handwashing alone can reduce the risk of diarrheal disease by up to 44 percent.
Evidence shows that hygiene is as important as water and sanitation in reducing diarrhea.
Lack of access to sanitation and poor hygiene contributes to approximately 88% of childhood deaths caused by diarrheal diseases.
Handwashing with soap is easy, efficacious, and the most cost-effective WASH intervention for reducing diarrhea, but it is often overlooked.
Diarrhea is responsible for children missing 272 million school days each year. A recent study suggests that handwashing with soap at critical times could help reduce school absenteeism 40-50 percent. In an intervention in Kenya, children in schools that received a comprehensive school-based WASH intervention, including hygiene promotion, had nearly a 50 percent reduction in diarrheal illness.
One study found that in patients with AIDS, handwashing with soap reduced the episodes of diarrheal illnesses.
Pneumonia is the leading causes of death for children under the age of 5 resulting in 1.1 million childhood deaths in 2012—17 percent of all deaths in the age group. Every day in 2012, pneumonia killed more than 3,000 children under the age of five.
Handwashing with soap can reduce pneumonia infections by approximately 25 percent.
Evidence suggests that access to soap and water can help improve child growth. It is estimated that handwashing with soap and clean drinking water could reduce the loss of nutrients through diarrhea, and reduce stunting in children under the age of five by up to 15 percent.
Three million neonatal deaths occur each year, and neonatal infections account for approximately 36 percent of these deaths. Evidence suggests that handwashing with soap can significantly reduce newborn deaths. For example, in one study, the mortality rate among neonates exposed to birth attendants and mothers who had good handwashing practices was approximately 40% less than neonates whose birth attendants and mothers had poor handwashing practices.
70 countries had comparable data available on handwashing with soap and water, representing 30 per cent of the global population.
Coverage of basic handwashing facilities with soap and water varied from 15 per cent in sub-Saharan Africa to 76 per cent in Western Asia and Northern Africa, but data are currently insufficient to produce a global estimate, or estimates for other SDG regions.
In Least Developed Countries, 27 per cent of the population had basic handwashing facilities with soap and water, while 26 per cent had handwashing facilities lacking soap or water. The remaining 47 per cent had no facility.
In sub-Saharan Africa, three out of five people with basic handwashing facilities (89 million people) lived in urban areas.
Many high-income countries lacked sufficient data to estimate the population with basic handwashing facilities.

Hand Washing and Hygiene Facts

Handwashing Facts
80% of all infectious diseases are transmitted by touch. According to experts, without a vaccine, the single most important thing you can do to prevent getting the flu is to wash your hands.
The Solution to Pollution is Dilution. While soap may not kill all viruses, thorough hand washing will decrease the viral counts to a point below the infectious threshold.
Caught in the act (or lack of). 95% of the population says that they wash their hands after using a public toilet. However when 8,000 people were monitored across five large cities in the US, they found the actual number to be more like 67%.
Do as I say, not as I do…A poll of pediatric ICU physicians showed that they claimed their rate of hand washing between patients was 73%, but when followed and observed, the hand washing rate was found to be less than 10%. Listen carefully and you can hear Dr. Semmelweis rolling over in his grave. The top excuses for not hand washing among doctors? Too busy and dry skin.
Where’s the dirt?CDC studies show that the number of bacteria per square centimeter on the human body are as follows: Scalp – 1,000,000 Forearm – 10,000 Arm pit – 500,000 Abdomen – 40,000 Hands of medical personnel – 40,000 to 500,000 When it comes to hands, fingernails and the surrounding areas harbor the most microorganisms.
Who has it? A recent study showed that 21% of the health care workers in ICU had varying counts of Staphylococcus aureus on their hands.
Too busy? One study demonstrated that hand washing guidelines were followed 25% of the time during times when the floor was overcrowded and understaffed. Compliance rose to 70% when the floor was properly staffed and not overcrowded with patients.
And the winner is… Many studies have shown that alcohol rubs are more effective than plain or even antimicrobial soaps, unless the hands are heavily soiled. However we can’t get overconfident with alcohol rubs. Despite its effectiveness against many organisms, alcohols have very poor activity against bacterial spores, protozoan oocysts, and certain non-enveloped (nonlipophilic) viruses. In addition, alcohol has no residual effect as some antimicrobial soaps do.
How long is enough? The CDC recommends at least 15 seconds. However, studies show that the reduction of skin bacteria is nearly ten times greater by washing with soap for 30 seconds rather than 15. Even so, remember that alcohol gels are even more effective than soap. The average wash time for health care workers? 9 seconds. Children (and why not adults?) are taught to sing “Yankee Doodle Dandy” start to finish before rinsing. This takes about 15 seconds. If you don’t know the words to Yankee Doodle, the Happy Birthday song sung twice will suffice.
Some like it hot.But if they do, hot water can increase the chance of dermatitis. Hot or warm water has not been proven to increase the effectiveness of hand washing. Cold water, though not as comfortable, produces less skin damage from detergents especially with repeated washings.
The two layers of bacteria. The outer layer of bacteria found on your hands is termed “Transient Flora”. This layer is potentially the most dangerous for transmitting disease from one person to another. Fortunately, it is also the most easily eliminated by hand washing. The deeper layer is called “Resident Flora”. This bacterial population is more likely to be made up of innocuous bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and Corynebacteria spp. (diptheroids); and is more resistant to washing, since they occupy the deeper layers of skin cells.

Cannabis stocks mostly lower as euphoria over banking bill fades in face of tricky U.S. Senate path
Canopy Growth stock falls after analyst says passage of bill unlikely to trigger acquisition of Acreage
By Ciara Linnane, MarketWatch

Analysts say Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is likely to block the banking bill in the Senate
Cannabis stocks fell on Thursday as the initial euphoria sparked by a House of Representatives vote in favor of a bill that would protect banks that serve the cannabis sector faded, as analysts cautioned that the Senate is unlikely to give it a thumbs-up — and may not even vote this year.
The ETFMG Alternative Harvest ETF (PSE:MJ) was last down 1.2%, with 21 of its 34 stocks declining. The Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF (TSE:CA:HMMJ) was down 0.8% with 26 of its 54 components lower.
The bill, called the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act, was approved in a 321 to 103 tally that was widely expected given bipartisan support for the measure. Because cannabis is banned at the U.S. federal level, banks that are federally insured are reluctant to do business with companies in states that have legalized, hampering the development of the sector.
But Height Securities said they estimate the bill has just 25% odds of being approved by the Senate, where the Senate Banking Committee, which would first need to vote, has not marked up a bill in almost 500 days.

“Our work has indicated that cannabis is a topic that divides the Republican Senate caucus and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has focused on legislation that has had more unified Republican support,” analysts wrote in a note to clients.
That dynamic has not changed, although McConnell may want to support Senators Cory Gardner, a Colorado Republican, and Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, in their reelection bids to ensure the Senate remains Republican-controlled. Both are in states that greatly support the cannabis sector. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, a New York Democrat, may try to stop the bill passing despite broad Democratic support, in order to retake the Senate for Democrats in 2020, the analysts wrote.
“While House passage of SAFE was in line with our outlook, passage is in the Senate is far from certain, even if SBC marks up SAFE or a similar bill,” they wrote.
Alliance Global Partners said the move still brings the sector a step closer to having banking and is a “positive indicator for the legitimacy of the cannabis industry.” But Alliance also views the Senate as a more challenging chamber, given McConnell’s stance.
Cannabis market leader Canopy Growth shares (NAS:CGC) (TSE:CA:WEED) fell 1.5%, after MKM Partners said the passage of the SAFE Act would likely not be a trigger for its acquisition of Acreage Holdings Analyst Bill Kirk said the bill as currently written is unlikely to prove sufficient to meet the terms of the deal, in which Canopy has the right to acquire Acreage once U.S. cannabis restrictions have been eased.

“We think the biggest benefits would fall with the smaller operators rather than the better capitalized and resourced publicly traded companies in our coverage,” Kirk wrote. The analyst rates Canopy as neutral but has a buy rating on Acreage.
Alliance analysts agreed and said the Canopy/Acreage deal will require the lifting of the federal ban on cannabis. They too said that smaller players are likely bigger beneficiaries of Wednesday’s vote.
“The biggest impact we believe could be if the SAFE Act opened up the use of credit cards at dispensaries/retail stores, which we believe would help to increase customer spend (though it is uncertain if the SAFE Act would open up broader credit card spending),” they wrote.
Tilt Holdings shares (OTC:TLLTF) (CNQ:CA:TILT) rose briefly then slid 9%, after the company said the vaping ban in its home commonwealth of Massachusetts should have little to no effect on its revenue and growth in the short term. The Cambridge-based company said four-month ban will prevent it from selling Jupiter Research LLC products in the Commonwealth, but said those account for less than 2% of Jupiter’s overall annual revenue, citing internal company data. The stock has fallen 90% in 2019 and is now trading at just 26 cents.
Tilt said the ban, which comes after an outbreak of a serious lung illness that has killed at least eight people and sickened more than 530 and is believed to be linked to vaping, will also have little effect on its subsidiary Commonwealth Alternative Care.

“In the long term, we believe this is an opportunity for regulatory bodies to eliminate many of the unsafe products on the market in Massachusetts,” the company said.
Patients have told doctors they had vaped THC-based products, mostly acquired in the black market, and cannabis companies have urged a greater crackdown on black market activities in its wake.
California health officials have also warned consumers to stop vaping and Walmart (NYS:WMT) has stopped selling e-cigarettes. A report from 420Intel.com said China, the world’s biggest market for smokers, is also preparing to impose controls on vaping.

Greenlane Holdings Inc. reversed early gains to trade down another 5%, bringing the stock’s week-to-date loss to 19%. Cronos (NAS:CRON) fell 3.2% and Tilray (NAS:TLRY) was down 0.6%.

Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYS:ACB) (TSE:CA:ACB) was down 0.4% and Hexo (NYS:HEXO) was up 0.2%. Organigram (NAS:OGI) fell 2.5%, Green Growth Brands (OTC:GGBXF) (CNQ:CA:GGB) was down 2.7% and Aleafia Health (OTC:ALEAF) was flat.

JASON PARKS
A hallowed and historic haunt in Picton is getting a dose of 21st century technology for the benefit of all local library users.
The Prince Edward Lennox & Addington Community Futures Development Corporation (PELA CFDC) called local leaders and the media to the 112-year-old Picton Branch of the Prince Edward County Library Friday to unveil three pieces of state-of-the-art technology that will help the library be a leader in communal creation space.
The Andrew Carnegie-era institution has added a new 3D printer and a range of tools to its expanding Makerspace thanks to federal funding through PELA CFDC.
The expanded suite of programming comes at a time when libraries are positioning themselves as places to tinker, invent, and create.
The new 3D printer is a community resource aimed at engaging residents, especially youth, with hands-on opportunities in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics, or applied mathematics).
The 3D printer prints using a biodegradable, plant-based filament that is available in several colours. Users can download creations from online databases or can create their own with the help of Library staff. The printer is capable of printing two different materials simultaneously, including a water-soluble filament that can be used to support complicated and detailed prints.
Similarly, the library has acquired an embroidery machine that can be used to create custom designs and patterns.
The branch has also secured a state-of-the art Dremel compact laser cutter.
The local library is investing in next-generation equipment and technology that will inspire community members, particularly youth, to get involved in hands-on learning STEAM opportunities and staff member Julie Lane gave a brief overview of each device stating the 3D Printer, which has been operation at the branch for a period of time, is extremely user friendly.
She explained a member of the public came to the library with an issue where a plastic piece of a shower door handle had broken with the alternative being suggested was to by an entire new door.

“For the cost of $2.50, he was able to make a replacement piece for the door,” Lane explained. “The range for this piece of equipment is very, very wide.”
A vinyl cutter used in the production of signage is another piece of technologically-advanced equipment the library has had running at the branch to great success.
Finally, the Deremel unit hasn’t been installed as of yet and will remain the final piece for the newly renovated Makerspace as the device requires external ventilation.
“I didn’t want to go and start poking holes in the wall just yet,” Lane said with a laugh.
Bay of Qunite MP Neil Ellis said Canada’s libraries have always been places that make learning fun and when there’s a chance to learn with others who have shared interests, that activity brings the community closer together.
He added these devices will assist the innovation thrust that’s been taking place by way of new-tech companies setting down local roots.
“This is about innovation and you look at what’s going on in Prince Edward County right now, it’s leading the way in innovation and these devices are going to help in that,” Ellis said.”For a Library of this size to have this type of equipment is very fortunate. This really puts the Picton branch on the map.”
Head Librarian Barbara Sweet thanked PELA CFDC and MP Ellis for the funding of $8,855 which allowed the library to purchase the devices and support materials.
Sweet said while ensuring free access to written books and materials would remain the key mandate of the Prince Edward County Library System, technology has quickly developed into a key component of library offerings and operations.
The Library’s IT department has developed tutorials and programs based around the equipment on display Friday and the interest these devices have already garnered indicate a clear indicator of the intellectual curiosity that abounds in Prince Edward County.
“We are currently engaged in a capital campaign for branch expansion that will see our Makerspace grow not only in scope with this equipment but also in square footage. The board and volunteers have been involved in these efforts for over a year and to have the local MP take the time to acknowledge our efforts is a boost we all appreciate,” Sweet said.
County of Prince Edward Mayor Steve Ferguson also took time to thank the federal government and Community Futures group for granting the funding and said these devices set this branch apart from others similar sized-branches across Ontario.
“Having these devices available for use by people with interest in STEAM disciplines and create and learn in a municipality like Prince Edward County is quite remarkable. The collaboration from the federal government and PELA has led to this and I can’t thank those parties enough. This is a great contribution to our community.” the Mayor said.
Chair of PELA CFDC Angela Miller added that collaborations between federal programs and local public resources like in places like Prince Edward County are vitally important of residents in rural Ontario.
And enhancement of municipal libraries was something that can inspire Canadians of all ages.
“Libraries are important spaces that are capable of inspiring wonder and igniting passion,” Miller said. “Look at a young person with a book and you will know the kind of passion libraries can instil”

Is It Time for Facebook Business Page Owners to Try a New Strategy?
By: Christine Geraci
It's not easy being a Facebook business page these days. And Facebook doesn't seem to want to make it easier any time soon.
If you're a smaller page just starting out, the odds your fans will see your content are slim, even if that content is good. You want your content to be seen by more of your fans to boost your chances of engagement? You'll have to cough up the cash, either for Facebook advertising, fake likes, or a combination of the two.
Might make you wonder if having a Facebook business page is really a good idea.
Well, odds are, being on Facebook in general is a good idea for a business, if for no other reason than the fact that one in seven people on planet earth are now signed up for it. (Let me add this disclaimer: You, or a reputable company with social media savvy you've hired, should be confirming that Facebook is a good idea for your business by surveying current customers and researching where the people you'd like to make customers are hanging out online).
But does it make more sense for a business to engage customers on Facebook not through a business page, but through the authentic profile of a brand ambassador?
Hear me out: Because Facebook's Edgerank algorithm greatly favors authentic interactions by real people (as evidenced in part by how it penalizes posts from third party apps), perhaps it's worth it for a business to try a different strategy: Designate (or employ) a person — or team of people — to be the face and voice of that company on Facebook. If people would rather interact with a person, and the business objective behind using Facebook is to generate leads and sales by sparking discussion, well...then why not?
Has anyone tried this? Did it work better than using a business page?
