Catherine Graham is the author of Winterkill (Insomniac Press, 2010) The Red Element (Insomniac Press, 2008) Pupa (Insomniac Press, 2003) and The Watch (Abbey Press, 1998). Her poetry has appeared in literary journals in North America, the United Kingdom and Ireland and has been frequently anthologized.
Catherine Graham started to write poetry as a way to explore and make sense of the death of her parents, whom she lost while she was an undergraduate student at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. But what began as an outlet for her grief transformed into a passion of its own. She followed this passion to Northern Ireland, where she studied poetry and was influenced by a community of poets and the strong commitment of the Irish people to their writers. While in Northern Ireland, Graham earned an MA in Creative Writing from Lancaster University and published her first collection of poetry. Her work was broadcast on BBC Radio Ulster and anthologized in The White Page / An Bhileog Bhan: Twentieth Century Irish Women Poets (Salmon Publishing, 1999). In 2000, Graham returned to Burlington, Ontario, where her poetry is now included in a permanent art installation at the city's Downtown Waterfront Project.
Graham now lives and writes in Toronto, where she teaches creative writing, designs and delivers workshops on creativity for the business and academic community and is Marketing Coordinator for the Rowers Pub Reading Series.

The drive to Helford took us through some of the most beautiful little villages and also along some of the most ridiculous roads I've ever seen; imagine very steep inclines plus roads almost exactly the width of a car, with banks and trees on either side. We managed to navigate through the labyrinth of winding roads, emerging from the woods in Helford, a beautifully quaint village on the banks of the Helford River.
We arrived with our stomachs rumbling, so made a stop at The Shipwright's Arms. We were so lucky to get a seat in the pub garden which just so happens to be right next to the water and dotted with palm trees. Had I not been so hangry, I'd have most certainly managed to take some pictures of our food, alas this was not the case. I wolfed down goat's cheese topped mushrooms with ratatouille and new potatoes and Kyle had a burger and chips, both of which were delicious.
As we were enjoying our lunch we saw people on paddle boards, boats and birds drift past on the water, all enjoying the glorious sunshine that the day had to offer. A group even moored up at the jetty outside the pub for a drink and had me wishing I could travel around by boat too!
After we had finished our food and soaked up the sunshine, we had a little wander along the water's edge to see more views of the Helford River and more enviable cottages.
Before heading off we bought some of the most tasty ice cream I've ever tried (but unfortunately also the most expensive), which was gooseberry yoghurt and now a firm favourite.
As is a reoccurring theme with these Cornwall posts, I would love to visit Helford again, as well as the rest of the river to see what else it has to offer. Also going through these photos has me longing for warm, sunny days again, despite how much I love the autumn.
Beautiful photos :) Isn't it a gorgeous spot!
Glad you made it on a nice, sunny day ... Cornwall's definitely at its best int the sunshine!
Damn, I just want to visit the good old English countryside again!
What a cute little town! Sounds like lots of fun! Great post!

South Korea is banning the use of anonymous bank accounts for buying and selling virtual currencies, a move that is aimed at clamping down on crimes co-opting the currencies as well as at reining in the speculative frenzy that has gripped the country.
The measure, which was in fact several weeks in coming, was announced by the country’s Financial Services Commission (FSC) on Tuesday and will take effect on January 30.
The country is one of the world’s major hubs on the cryptocurrency markets. Over 2 million people – or some 4 percent of the country’s entire population – are estimated to be digital-currency investors.
Vice-chairman of the country’s financial regulator FSC, Kim Yong-Beom, was quoted by Reuters saying that, as of January 30, cryptocurrency traders in South Korea will not be allowed to make deposits into their virtual currency exchange wallets unless the name on their bank accounts matches the account name in cryptocurrency exchanges.
“We expect that crypto currency exchanges that are in danger of being exploited for money laundering will be thrown out of the market,” Kim was quoted by the Associated Press as saying.
As part of the policy, underage individuals and foreigners without local bank accounts will be barred from trading in virtual currencies. Banks will be required to share information about cryptocurrency exchanges with each other and will need to watch more closely for transactions that may be linked to crimes.
The “real name policy” is designed to “reduce room for cryptocurrency transactions to be used for illegal activities such as crimes, money laundering and tax evasion”, according to a statement on the FSC’s website. The statement is generally heavy on the country’s effort to curb speculation and all manner of illegal transactions involving digital currencies. Once the measure is in place, the existing “anonymous accounts that have been widely used to trade cryptocurrencies will no longer be in use”, continues the statement.
The move is the latest measure aimed at reining in the cryptocurrency sector and at tightening the country’s previously light-touch approach in this field. On Monday, the South Korean government announced that the country’s digital currency exchanges would be subject to corporate and local income taxes.
The government may double down further, as an outright ban on the exchanges is reportedly also being cited as a possibility. Its recent efforts, however didn’t go down well with hundreds of thousands of South Koreans.
Meanwhile, France and Germany announced last week that they would present a joint proposal aimed at regulating bitcoin this March.
As is their wont, cryptocurrencies and its varied services have been through tumultuous times in recent days, providing a sense of familiarity from 2017. Last week, popular cryptocurrency lending and exchange platform Bitconnect announced, rather abruptly, that it would shut up shop, blaming cyberattacks and bad press for the closure. Apparent scams designed to exploit the ensuing confusion weren’t long in coming.
Midway through January, some $400,000 worth of the virtual currency, Stellar Lumen, was stolen from the accounts of users of BlackWallet.co, a web-based wallet for the digital currency, in an attack known as DNS hijacking.
Putting cryptocurrency thefts into perspective, a report that consultancy firm Ernst and Young released on Monday revealed that some $400 million of the total of $3.7 billion raised through initial coin offerings (ICOs) between 2015 and 2017 were lost or stolen in hacks.
A paper released earlier in January indicates that a rally in bitcoin’s value from $150 to more than $1,000 within two months in late 2013 was probably the work of a single person or group. The conclusions of the research lend some credence to claims that the prices of virtual currencies are subject to a heavy dose of manipulation.
And that increase was before the currency embarked on a staggering rally last year, soaring almost twenty-fold from around $1,000 between January and the middle of December of last year. The currency has been on a sort of jagged trajectory ever since, although going mostly downwards, all the way to its current value of just above one-half of the peak price. Other main virtual currencies have largely followed suit.

I write on the Yorkshire Evening Post 'Your the Boss' as well as on this excellent blog site and after a horrendous period of lacklustre performances I suggested a little tongue in cheek who I'd pick for the game versus Birmingham.
I went with Kenny, a three man defence Lees Wootton Pearce, a midfield five of Byram Murphy Mowatt Austin and Warnock with Dioufy just behind Ross in attack.
Yes I got Diouf wrong but his replacement Matt Smith showed the people who regularly abuse him in the social network that he can be a asset to the squad, yes a swallow doesn't make a summer but he did enough to at least shut them up with his performance and two goals.
It was the formation that pleased me so much, I've been a lot this season and nearly every game I've bemoaned the lack of width to get behind the opposition and right on cue the change worked like a dream. The manager said it had been tried in a behind doors friendly versus Rotherham and it worked well. It's also good to see that players not generally liked are getting into the squad through bloody hard work in training. Pugh and Brown deserve credit for at least trying to change people's mind about them.
Sunday evening was definitely a nicer night because of a much improved performance by the lads in white.

Kutcher co-founded Thorn along with ex-wife Demi Moore.
Ashton Kutcher’s nonprofit company, Thorn, is one of eight organizations to receive money from the Audacious Project, a TED-backed fund giving away $280 million this year.
Thorn’s technology helps companies and law enforcement agents defend children from online sexual abuse.
The company plans to use the Audacious funding to build out its software, which is already being beta tested by Imgur and Flickr.
In 2018, the United States saw millions of reported instances of child sexual exploitation on the internet. Many of these harrowing stories have escaped public notice, said Julie Cordua, the CEO of Thorn, a nonprofit that builds technology to defend children from sexual abuse.
Cordua works with the company’s co-founder, Ashton Kutcher, to encourage companies to weed out abuse on their online platforms.
On Tuesday, Thorn became one of eight groups to receive funding from the Audacious Project, a TED-sponsored fund giving away $280 million to organizations with bold ideas for solving the world’s most pressing issues.
Thorn was awarded the money to help in its quest of eliminating child sexual abuse material from the internet.
In 2017, Kutcher testified about the issue before Congress, recalling a phone call his team received from the Department of Homeland Security, which was searching for a seven-year-old victim of sexual abuse.
Cordua said the child had been featured in hundreds of sexually abusive images, but the authorities were unable to locate her perpetrator.
Funding from Audacious will help Thorn build out its technology, which helps law enforcement agencies identify trafficked children and gives companies the tools to stop the spread of abusive content. In her address at TED, Cordua said Thorn’s technology has now reduced the time it takes to find child victims by more than 65%.
One challenge to rolling out the software, she said, is that many companies are fearful of discovering abusive content on their platform. But Cordua envisions a future where companies will be rewarded for shutting down traffickers.
Funding from the Audacious Project could bring Thorn closer to achieving that tipping point, Cordua said.
The project, now in its second year, has already helped scale the efforts of organizations like the Environmental Defense Fund, which used the prize to further its goal of launching a methane-tracking satellite, and the Bail Project, which has posted bail for more than 4,000 people.
In addition to Thorn, this year’s recipients include three scientific organizations (the Institute for Protein Design, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and the END Fund), one environmental group (The Nature Conservancy), two educational organizations (Educate Girls and Waterford UPSTART), and the Center for Policing Equity, a criminal justice group.
Abstract : —In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), as in every other discipline, people willing to evaluate the performance of an application or a protocol rely on modeling, simulation or experimentation. Simulations and models produce results for large-scale networks in a reasonable time, but trade representation accuracy for speed and hence ignore many physical and system effects, such as interference from the outside world or race conditions inside the nodes. Experimentation provides more representative and precise results, but is limited to small networks. Besides, they require more effort to be deployed and to collect results. These approaches are therefore complementary and should all be involved in the evaluation, which is seldom true, as it requires duplicating the deployment and data collection processes. In this demonstration, we present MakeSense, a framework that simplifies these tasks for both simulation and real experiments environments by creating a whole experimentation chain from a single JSON description file. By using MakeSense, it is possible to organize the compilation, to orchestrate the firmware deployment, to efficiently collect results and to plot statistics. We illustrate the ease of use and efficiency of the complete MakeSense workflow over a simple RPL-UDP deployment scenario evaluated with the Cooja simulator and the FIT IoT-Lab open testbed.
Photograph of the of the entrance to the shrine of the temple at Dhotra, taken by Robert Gill in 1871. The site of Dhotra has some temples built in the Hemapanti style of architecture which flourished in Central India under the Yadava dynasty in the 12th century. They consist of a sanctuary and a porch and the exterior is decorated with bands of mouldings but there is no figure sculpture. Henry Cousens who visited the site in 1902 wrote about one of the temples, '...The exterior of the temple is fully moulded in ornamental bands, but there are no images whatever, not even the usual three niches round the walls of the shrine. There seems little doubt that these temples more or less devoid of figure sculpture upon the exterior represent the true Hemadpanti class... '.
The Year of The Brown Earth Dog will bring clarity for Tiger men and women. They will begin to see things in a new light. If the year of the Rooster (2017) was fairly positive for these people, then this lunar period will be even better. Tiger folk and Dog people are traditional allies in Chinese Astrology, both fine upstanding citizens and concerned with fair play, justice, high morals and values. Despite many fine qualities, these people often have a selfish streak and can be stubborn.
This year the Tiger will have a lot of support from family and friends. Communication will be free-flowing and individuals, for once, may not be quite so focused on their careers. They may be more humble and concerned with achieving a sensible work/life balance to reduce the stresses and strains of work and spend more time with loved ones.
There will be highs and lows, ups and downs but it is also a time for new beginnings and there could be some additions to the family. There will be much joy and happiness on the domestic front for Tigers despite minor disagreements and conflicts which are a normal part of family life. With a natural intelligence, willingness to compromise, gentle patience and wry sense of humour he will easily win people over to share his views.
Friendships which have lasted over long periods will be the ones the Tiger will know he can trust, although new friendships could be made which will also last the test of time.
If individuals are prepared to use tact and diplomacy, giving more thought to their words before they speak them, 2018 will bring them many gains and rewards both in their personal as well as their professional circumstances. This could be a very exciting and rewarding year.
2018 could bring some unsettlement with it for individuals in romance, the Zodiac Tiger horoscope shows. Many could feel it’s time for a change within personal relationships. Without a doubt, it’s the right moment to talk openly and honestly to loved ones. Sexual temptations may turn the Tiger’s head but he will only stray if he is not satisfied in his current romance.
