The Return of #FeedCthulhu / Saying Thanks
#FeedCthulhu, coupon, cthulhu fhtagn, giallo fantastique, giving back, mr. suicide, painted monsters & other strange beasts, thanksgiving, the book of cthulhu, vermilion
One week from today is Thanksgiving in the United States, a holiday which we celebrate by gathering together, sharing food, and saying thanks. This year, I've got a lot to be thankful for, because you've helped Word Horde succeed in its most ambitious year yet. We published five books this year: Molly Tanzer's weird western, Vermilion; Nicole Cushing's ultra-dark delve, Mr. Suicide; Orrin Grey's captivating collection, Painted Monsters & Other Strange Beasts, and the anthologies Giallo Fantastique and Cthulhu Fhtagn! So, to celebrate this success, and to give back, I've decided it's time for The Return of #FeedCthulhu.
In 2011, when my first anthology, The Book of Cthulhu, was published, I challenged readers to make a donation to a local food charity, and to share news of that donation on Twitter, using the hashtag #FeedCthulhu. That year, we raised several hundred dollars in pledges across the country to local food banks and homeless shelters. In 2012, to accompany the publication of The Book of Cthulhu 2, we repeated the challenge, raising over a thousand dollars worth of pledges.
Thanksgiving may be the time to celebrate our prosperity and providence, but people still go hungry. And hunger sucks. So once again I'd like to challenge you to make a difference, by making a donation–no matter how small–to a food charity. This can be a local food bank, church, temple, mosque, coven, bin outside your grocery store, or national (or international) hunger relief organization. The organization doesn't matter, so long as they're feeding people. Once you do that, post the following on social media:
I fed Cthulhu [your donation] to [organization] #FeedCthulhu @lossrockhart
Don't forget to include the hashtag (#FeedCthulhu) and my Twitter handle (@lossrockhart) so that I can see–and share–your post. Also, if you send a link to your post via email to publicity[at]wordhorde[dot]com, in return for your generosity, I'll send you the ebook of my latest anthology, Cthulhu Fhtagn!. Just let me know if you'd prefer ePub, mobi, or PDF format. I'll be checking social media for the hashtag, and on December 1, I'll be selecting three random posters, who will receive a personalized autographed copy of Cthulhu Fhtagn!
"Pie is my favourite dessert, and blueberry (for summer) and mince (for winter) are my preferred kinds—with apple as a good all-year-round third. Like to take vanilla ice cream with apple and blueberry pie." –H. P. Lovecraft to Robert E. Howard (7 November 1932)
And for dessert, I'd also like to say thanks to you by making you a special offer. Place an order with Word Horde between now and the end of November, use the coupon code THANKS, and take 20% off your purchase. It's our way of saying "Thank you!" for a great year, and encouraging you to give Word Horde books to your cool friends this holiday season.

Word Horde's resident social media maniac, Sean M. Thompson, recently chatted with one of our favorite authors, Anya Martin, whose work has appeared in Giallo Fantastique and Cthulhu Fhtagn! Here's what Anya had to say…
What do you think the role of genre is in fiction?
That's a tough one in that like most writers I both hate being placed in a genre box, and yet I am a fierce defender of the claim that spec-lit in all its forms (SF/F/H, etc.) has every bit of legitimacy as literary fiction. I tend to prefer "mode" to "genre" and see the different forms of spec-lit as freeing me to approach realistic topics more, rather than less directly through a fantastic lens. For example in "The Prince of Lyghes," my story in Cthulhu Fhtagn!, I consciously tackled the destructive impact of alcoholism on a relationship through the mode of Weird horror. The story begins monotonously because the daily life in such a relationship tends towards a constant, creeping dread, but the mode of the Weird allows me to push further into the emotional horror of that daily Hell by giving it a physical manifestation.
I'll add that I never set out to be a Weird fiction writer per se, but since the recent ascent of the Weird, I have had an easier time selling my work. Before that, I was often told that it didn't fit. It'd be nice to dream of a day when all books are shelved together and genres don't matter, but genre classification is also a marketing reality that writers have to live with if they want to be published. Right now, I am fortunate in that editors and publishers seem to be more open to the type of whatever genre I write, whether Weird, horror, dark fantasy, or magic realism. I haven't written a story I consider explicitly science fiction since "Courage of the Lion Tamer" (Daybreak, 2009), but I grew up loving science fiction and "Sensoria" in Giallo Fantastique actually started as a science fiction story. But that's another story.
Your story from Giallo Fantastique, "Sensoria," contained a drug primarily taken at a rock and roll show. What kind of influence does music have on your writing, and have you been to a lot of concerts in your life?
I listen to music constantly, though I stick to instrumental when I am actually writing. A lot of experimental jazz, funk, Krautrock recently filling in gaps because I was such a punk rock girl. My punk/post-punk roots are still on my daily playlist–Patti Smith, the Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, John Cale, Bowie, Eno, Iggy, Ramones, Robyn Hitchcock, Pere Ubu, Wire, The Cramps, to name just a few. And yes, I have been to a fair amount of concerts from local bands to international acts, though not so many stadium-sized shows as I tend to prefer more obscure music. I was also a college radio DJ and music director. I named my show Dangerous Visions.
Music is more of a subliminal than a direct influence in most of my work, though my characters are often listening to music. However, as chance would have it through anthology invitations, I had two stories come out this year in which rock music was integral–"Sensoria" and "Resonator Superstar!" in Scott R. Jones' Resonator anthology which explores a possible occult side to Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable light/film shows accompanying early Velvet Underground gigs. The latter took a considerable amount of research and came out of attending a re-creation of that experience by a local avant garde film group in Atlanta. I actually wrote the first draft of what would become "Sensoria" around 1990, but its final form was heavily influenced by Goblin and Fabio Frizzi concerts–the latter in a London church on Halloween in 2014. So, OK, yes, my concert experiences, I guess, do bleed directly into my writing. I'm not working on any explicitly music scene stories right now, or wait, I just remembered the novel I am probably writing as my first might have something to do with a dead rock star.
Do you have any writing rituals?
Well, as aforementioned, I do listen to music either before and/or while writing. Otherwise they fluctuate. In the winter, I'll often drink green or camomile tea depending on whether I need a caffeine lift. I do coffee in the morning but that's my nonfiction journalism day job time. For "Sensoria," "Resonator Superstar!" and other stories that I need to tap into a more intense trance state especially as I get near the climax, I have drunk Kava. Some stories come together better in bed with my laptop with scented candles lit, and others sitting at my computer desk–I'm not sure why other than needing a change of scenery. I do usually prefer writing alone rather than in a public place like a coffee shop.
Would you ever eat a bug?
I have eaten bugs! Dried seasoned grasshoppers and still not sure whether those were caterpillars in the soup in China. Also more recently at a natural history museum insect-tasting event, but I can't remember what kind of insects they were now.
Have you ever written a novel?
I have started novels but have not finished one yet. One in particular keeps knocking around in my brain. It seems manageable in length, I haven't read anything else like it and fortunately the concept seems saleable. I hope to pick it up again sometime soon, but not until after a novella and I finish up at least three more short stories for anthology invitations.
How do you deal with fear of failure?
I just try not to think about it and keep working. Get the story done and move on to the next one. My brain may be a little too good at compartmentalizing, which is something I may tackle in a future story. On the other hand, right now I also try to keep my fiction goals modest. Get a few more stories completed and sold, see how my work is received, and then hopefully someone will want to collect them. And in due time, hopefully this winter, novel.
Would you consider yourself a fast writer, or a slow writer, in terms of your output.
Haha! Both. I tend to write very rapidly once a story gets going and have been known to complete a story in a day to a week. But I'll start other stories and there could be long gaps of time as the parts come together in my head. "Resonator Superstar!" and "Old Tsah-Hov" in Cassilda's Song (edited by Joe Pulver, Chaosium) were both written in two weeks or less, but "The Prince of Lyghes" evolved over three years and even when I thought it was done, I made more changes after a beta reader hit upon something simple and missing that should have been obvious to me.
Thanks for taking part. Anything to plug?
You're welcome. I do have two more works slated to come out this year–making it a total of six in 2015. My short story, "A Girl in Her Dog," will be in Issue #2 of Xynobis from Dunhams Manor Press. And Dunhams Manor is also publishing a one-act Weird play called "Passage to the Dreamtime" in its chapbook series. It'll be the first time a work of fiction by me will be published in a freestanding format, i.e. not in an anthology or magazine, so I'm pretty excited.

Here are just a few of the critical raves our latest anthology, Cthulhu Fhtagn!, has been receiving:
"A new, and highly personal, take on the legacy of the Cthulhu Mythos emerges shuddering and gibbering from the R'lyehian depths in the bloated tentacular shape of Cthulhu Fhtagn!, conceived and collated by Ross E. Lockhart, whose stature as an anthologist and creator of The Book of Cthulhu I and II, Tales of Jack the Ripper, and The Children of Old Leech, approaches legendary proportions. And here are 19 examples of Cthulhoid weird filtered through his own unique perspective." —Paul St. John Mackintosh, TeleRead

For the Word Horde!, by Sean M. Thompson
cthulhu fhtagn, elinor phantom, furnace, giallo fantastique, join the horde, mr. suicide, painted monsters & other strange beasts, sean m. thompson, social media, tales of jack the ripper, the children of old leech, vermilion, we leave together, word horde
FOR THE WORD HORDE!
Thousands of them, warriors covered in the blood of fallen subjects, their axes stained crimson from predicates who never knew it was to be their end.
"Sean, this is not just any group of warriors you're teaming up with, this is the Word Horde!"
Their swords are terrible in the light of a scalding sun, gleaming with the ferocity of verbs, nouns, and adjectives ready for a fight. I too am ready to do battle; to sacrifice my body, (mostly my fingers and hands) to the cause.
"I will join the Word Horde!" I scream, and the din around me is terrifying, but it certainly gets my adrenaline pumping.
The drums thunder with the promise of hand-to-hand combat, page after page of it.
We charge, individuals made strong by a common goal. To whoop these readers upside the head, and go in for the kill. To shake those in search of literary entertainment to the core. None of them have any idea what's in store, but oh let me tell you, we got a fever inside us. Inside of me, my ancestors are high off wode, and the thrill of Valhalla, cheering in unison.
Lightning cracks the sky, scorching the horizon, and a storm begins in an instant. I grit my teeth, get ready for it. The smile on my face would set a clunky paragraph to crying.
Rain soaks the land, and a qualifier falls beside me: I grab his mace. A terrible spiked metal ball attached to a wooden handle: I slam it into the spine of an adverb as it advances upon me, shrieking onomatopoeic obscenities.
"Great job Sean, I like what you're doing here!" Ross says, and he's in a terrifyingly scant amount of armor, his hair underneath a horned helmet.
"I didn't see you, brother," I say, knocking a weak noun off of its feet, ducking as one of my Horde looses an arrow, which slams home into the heart of a particularly poor word choice.
"I've been here since the beginning!" Ross shouts, and the slash of his mighty golden editor's sword is a thing to behold.
A beast of war barks by my feet. I see it's none other than Elinor Phantom, the terrifying battle hound out for blood with our Word Horde. May the gods help whoever crosses her path of vicious bloodthirsty hunger.
"How many words did you want me to kill?" I shout over to he of the Locked Heart, and he shouts back "as many as seems appropriate," before he slices another poor word choice down the middle with his powerful blade.
"FOR THE WORD HORDE!" I scream, and lose myself in the chaos of battle, a berserker in a frenzy.
This battle is just beginning, friends. We need warriors to join up with the Word Horde. Can we count you among our number? Do you long to slay boring sentences in the moonlight? Do you worship the Gods of Story, and plot, and Character? Understand, once you join, you must dedicate your energy to the Word Horde. The only way out of this is in a hole in the dirt.
Our Word Horde has anthologies like Cthulhu Fhtagn!, Giallo Fantastique, the Shirley Jackson Award-nominated The Children of Old Leech, and Tales of Jack the Ripper. Our Word Horde has novels, like Mr. Suicide by Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author Nicole Cushing, Vermilion by British Fantasy Award nominee Molly Tanzer, and We Leave Together by J. M. McDermott.
"Tell them about the upcoming warriors joining up with the Word Horde!" Elinor growls at me.
"I didn't know you could talk!" I shout back, breaking a lazy sentence's neck with my mace, my word killer.
"Shut up and tell them about the stuff on the way!" she barks out, and proceeds to rip the Achilles tendon of a sad antecedent.
"We have Orrin Grey's new collection Painted Monsters & Other Strange Beasts coming in October!" I roar, and snap the forearm of a demonstrative pronoun with my bare hands. This pleases me.
"And ALSO?!" she bellows in a timbre I didn't think such a small creature could emit.
"Oh, and Livia Llewellyn's collection Furnace in 2016!"
Before I know it, the Word Horde is alone, our foes seem to have retreated, for the moment. Seeing their comrades rendered into so much spilled ink seems to have put the necessary fear into them they should have had from the start.
"Not bad for a first battle," Ross says, and puts his hand on my shoulder.
"Do you always wear so little armor?" I ask he of the curly man-mane.
"What do you mean 'so little'? This is a lot of armor for me. Normally I have on way less."
The adrenaline of the battle having died down, I start to seriously question my decision to become social media manager for Word Horde.
"Come on, I'm gonna order a pizza," Ross says.
And like that, I'm back on board!
"LONG LIVE THE WORD HORDE!"

The Theology of the United Methodist Church Regarding Salvation
By Elise Medina ; Updated September 29, 2017
••• Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images
The Methodist Church believes a person is saved through faith in Jesus.
The United Methodist Church teaches that salvation is achieved by faith through grace. While the Church holds true to the Apostles' Creed, a basic statement of Orthodox Christian beliefs, it also has several doctrinal standards that are uniquely Methodist. These doctrinal statements, such as the "Articles of Religion of the Methodist Church and the Confessions of Faith of the Evangelical United Brethren Church," articulate the Methodist theology that salvation occurs during a moment of conversion and continues throughout life through the process of sanctification.
Doctrine of Grace
The United Methodist Church believes that people are saved by grace through faith. The Church interprets the expression that salvation is achieved by "grace through faith" to mean that humans are made whole and reconciled by the love of God as they receive it and trust in it. Methodists believe that salvation cannot be earned; rather, it is the gift of a loving God that humans need only to accept.
Justification, or conversion, is the moment when people stop trying to justify themselves to God and instead accept Jesus' death on the cross as payment for their sins. Justification entails admitting and repenting of sin and embracing God's justifying grace. The United Methodist Church teaches that this moment of conversion is the start of a person's new life in Christ. Methodists believe that as soon as a person experiences justification, he is assured of salvation through the power of the Holy Spirit.
While justification is the moment at which a person's salvation is assured, sanctification is the process by which a Christian is "perfected in love, to experience the pure love of God and others," according to the United Methodist Church website, umc.org. The United Methodist Church holds that conversion is merely the beginning of an individual's new life in Christ. The Methodist doctrine, "The Confessions of Faith of the Evangelical United Brethren Church," explains that "sanctification is the work of God's grace through the Word and the Spirit, by which those who have been born again are cleansed from sin ... to strive for holiness without which no one will see the Lord."
The United Methodist Church holds the Bible in the highest esteem, believing it to be the holy, infallible word of God and containing all the information necessary for salvation. Importantly, Methodists believe that not only does God's word contain everything necessary for salvation, but anything that is not in the Bible is not required for a person to be saved. The Church believes, for example, that good works are a natural effect of justification, but that they lack any biblical power to blot out sin or earn salvation.

The voters in each of Maine's 16 counties elect three, five or seven commissioners to four-year terms to oversee the operation of county government. Each commissioner serves a separate district within the county.
Maine's 13 county jails, three county 72-hour holding facilities and two county re-entry centers are responsible for persons arrested by municipal, county and state law enforcement and probation officials. All inmates sentenced for Class D or E crimes serve sentences up to 364 days in these county facilities. In addition, most adults sentenced for Class A, B, or C crimes to nine months or less serve their time in these county correctional facilities. The average daily inmate population in these county facilities in 2009 was 1,688 compared with 2,177 in the state's correctional facilities. Of the 1688, 58% 2,343 were awaiting trial or sentencing.

Seasoned spoken word artiste Tendekai "Madzitatiguru" Tati is preparing for the inaugural Africa Cup of Slam Poetry to be held in Chad later this year.
He will represent Zimbabwe at the continental showcase following his win at a local qualifier held in Bulawayo last year.
Madzitatiguru has been reciting what he dubs Urban Ancient Poetry since 2011 in which he employs a colloquial rhythmic use of language.
His popular works include "Bete Size Ten/Mapete" and "Chazezesa" and he mainly provides commentary on social issues affecting urban young people.
"Poetry movements from various African countries conceived the idea of having an inaugural intra-continental poetry slam. Each country was to hold qualifier poetry slams so as to find representatives for each respective country," he said.
He has an advantage of more preparation time that some contestants that will be in Chad because some countries are still going through the selection process for their representatives.
The competition is expected to be multilingual.
Madzitatiguru has participated at a number of poetry events including the Harare International Festival of the Arts, Shoko Festival and Intwasa Arts Festival.
In 2012 he was part of Poetry Africa which travelled around the world giving teachings to artistes.
His winnings include the Afro Express Poetry Slam 2011 (Johannesburg, South Africa), the Shoko Festival Poetry Slam 2015, 2016 and 2017, HIFA Poetry Slam 2015 and the 2017 Mlom Wakho Naxional Poetry Slam.

TUSC's program to end the Housing Crisis
Housing was a key question at the Palace & Penge WI hustings
From conversations on the doorsteps canvassing, and at the local hustings that I have attended, housing is clearly a key issue for many voters in Lewisham West and Penge.
It is an issue that affects my students and my family and friends too. My son's friend and mother were recently offered a place to be rehoused - but in Birmingham. The difficulties facing homeless families was highlighted in a moving BBC documentary "No place to call home" featuring a Lewisham family.
Below, London housing worker Paul Kershaw, and a supporter of TUSC, sets out the level of the crisis - and TUSC and the Socialist Party's program to solve it (edited from an original article in this week's 'The Socialist' paper):
All the indicators of homelessness are on the rise. The number of children living in temporary accommodation has risen by nearly 10,000 in the last 12 months. One in 25 children in London are now homeless.
A series of grassroots campaigns against social cleansing and in defence of decent rented housing have caught people's imagination - for example the campaign of the residents of the New Era estate in Hackney, east London. They give a glimpse of the growing anger at the housing crisis and the potential for housing campaigns based on action by working class people.
The mainstream parties have to respond to this anger and talk about housing but they have no solutions - their commitment to cuts and big business policies make that impossible.
The housing workers branch of Unite the Union has produced a short housing manifesto summarising Unite policy. It starts with opposition to the cuts and points to a real solution, including building council homes, capping rents and nationalising the banks.
The branch is encouraging its members to challenge election candidates to support it. TUSC has endorsed the manifesto. Unfortunately these demands are a long way from Labour's policy.
Far too few new homes are being built. One of the first actions of the Con-Dem coalition was a 60% cut in the social housing grant. None of the major parties calls for reversing this cut.
It is estimated that at least 240,000 new homes per year are needed just to keep pace with the growth of new households, let alone dealing with the backlog. Labour has set the aim of building just 200,000 homes per year by the fifth year of a new government.
So even if this was achieved, the housing shortage would still be getting worse after five years. Members of the Lyons commission - set up to by Labour to advise on its housing policy - have been reported as doubting whether even this is possible in the context of austerity.
Scandalously, rather than supporting more genuinely affordable and secure housing, Labour councils have been behind 'regeneration' schemes which result in reductions of social housing.
Time and time again this 'regeneration' is carried out without proper consultation and in a way designed not to benefit local working class people but to drive them out of areas they have inhabited for generations. Most of the anti 'social cleansing' campaigns have had to fight Labour councils - a grim warning of what to expect from a Labour government.
If there was any doubt, a host of Labour luminaries contributed to the recent IPPR think tank's report 'City Villages' which advocates working with property developers to redevelop inner city estates. The report ignores the question of what homes Londoners can actually afford. The recent 'Strategic Housing Market Assessment' demonstrated that 52% of households in housing need cannot afford market rate homes - Labour has nothing to offer them.
Unite - and TUSC - policy of supporting a massive programme of council house building is essential. The 'big four' property developers are sitting on enough land to immediately build 1.4 million homes. Their profits have risen by 557% since 2010. The wealth, including land, of the super-rich 1% should be nationalised and used for common good such as social housing, with compensation paid only on the basis of proven need.
As increasing numbers are forced to live in the private rented sector permanently, rather than a temporary staging post, affordability and security are more important.
Homelessness due to the end of 'short hold' tenancies (the most common private renting tenancy) is on the rise, now accounting for 30% of all homeless 'acceptances.' That is an increase of 26% since the end of 2013. As an immediate measure, we need rent control in the private sector.
People need homes - and that means people will fight for them. There have been occupations and demonstrations by angry tenants and strikes by angry workers. Those campaigners need a voice at the ballot box.
If a mass party campaigned on policies to change things in favour of the 99% rather than supporting big business, banks and property developers, it would get a massive echo. This May only TUSC can be a platform for what working class people are fighting for on estates and outside town halls across the country.
My program to end the housing crisis is:
Use councils' powers to compulsorily register private landlords and set-up council-run lettings agencies, as the means to tackle repair standards, high rents, over-occupancy, extortionate letting fees etc for private rented homes.
Build council homes now. By using councils' borrowing powers for capital spending to build council homes, while campaigning for the government to divert its subsidy for private developers to finance a mass programme of public housing and renovation to meet demand
Rent control now! Democratic rent councils to decide fair levels in each area
Hands off our homes! Bring all ex-council housing association stock and housing services back in-house
Housing benefits that reflect the real cost of renting
Councils should use their compulsory purchase powers on long term empty properties and use them as council housing
A new mass workers' party to fight for affordable housing for all. Support TUSC's candidates in May's general and local elections to fight for these policies
Nationalise the banks and biggest corporations. For a democratic socialist society that puts the needs of the majority, including decent, affordable housing, before the profits of the tiny minority.

Suicide Bombings: Muslim Leaders, CAN Disagree Over Plans By Security Agencies To Frisk Women In Hijab, Burka
Some respected Muslim leaders and the Christian Association of Nigeria have disagreed over plans by the security agencies to frisk women dressed in hijab and burka, in response to the growing threat of suicide bombers dressed in the Muslim outfit.
While the Muslim leaders argued that such an action would amount to profiling Muslim women, the CAN said it was a necessary sacrifice to make in light of current security realities.
The Muslim leaders who voiced these concerns in separate interviews with SUNDAY PUNCH are the Jama'atu Nasril Islam (JNI) Secretary-General, Dr. Abubakar Aliyu-Khalid, the Convener, Muslim Rights Concern and Professor of Islamic Eschatology at the Lagos State University, Professor Ishaq Akintola and the Executive Secretary of Muslim Ummah of South-West of Nigeria, Professor Dawud Noibi.
In his reaction, Dr. Aliyu-Khalid explained that frisking hijab-wearing females would not solve the problem of terrorism.
"We are not comfortable with the security arrangement. There should not be separate laws for Muslims and other religion adherents. Solving problems in Nigeria is like scratching the surface. We do not support the fact that Muslim women should be singled out for this action. It is known that some of the people who carry out these suicide bomb attacks are not even Muslims", he said.
Sharing a similar view, Prof. Akintola, said the Muslim community was against the search of women wearing hijab.
Akintola said, "It will amount to profiling Muslim women. The repercussion will even be graver than we ever expected. Already, the Nigeria elite are discriminating against Muslim women and Muslims generally. Muslims have the right to dress the way they like. Let the security agencies do their work; they know what to do. There is deep intelligence. They should nip conspiracy and plots to bomb in the bud.
"Where they (Boko Haram) are making the bombs, get them there. Those who are behind making the bombs, get them. Those who finance them, pick them. You don't infringe on civil rights. Boko Haram or no Boko Haram, people should dress the way Allah has instructed them".
In his view, which was along similar lines as those shared by Akintola and Aliyu-Khalid, Noibi kicked against singling out hijab-wearing women, saying it was wrong.
He said, "It would be wrong for the army or the police to single out Muslim women who wear hijab for security search simply because the Boko Haram insurgents use a similar mode of dressing to carry out their suicide bomb attacks. It will be wrong to target only Muslim women. That will also mean that (all) Muslim women wearing the hijab are suspected suicide bomber. It will also be against the ethics of the police and other uniformed security agencies to use men to search women".
But the umbrella body of Nigerian Christians insisted that hijab-wearing women be searched.
Its view was articulated by the General Secretary of CAN, Reverend Musa Asake, who explained that Muslims must understand the new trend in the war against Boko Haram.
Rev. Asake said, "If some people are misusing it, then, there should be a restriction as to where to use it. If you are trying to compare it with Catholic nuns, have you ever caught a Catholic nun with a bomb? Has a Catholic nun ever bombed anybody anywhere? Hijab is not something new and has anybody ever challenged it? It is until this thing (suicide bombing) started happening. This is what we are saying; it is for our security".
The Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Abayomi Shogunle, weighed in on the controversy, pointing out that women who wear the hijab would be frisked only by female security agents.
He said, "More female policewomen have been deployed to participate in security operations that would involve the searching of women, because of the religious and cultural beliefs of the (Northern) region.
"Women wearing hijab don't constitute a security threat. The Nigerian constitution guarantees freedom of religion and dressing. Our officers serving in the states prone to terrorism are aware of the modus operandi of the insurgents and they know what to look out for".
Mr. Shogunle said though policemen face threats on a daily basis, they knew the mode of operation of terrorists.
He said, "Recently in Kano a female terrorist wearing a hijab was trying to mingle with people entering the mosque, but the officers there were able to identify her and fish her out.
"The same thing happened again in Kano when a hijab-wearing female attempted to enter a school and she was prevented from entering the school to carry out her deadly mission. The policemen on duty knew she was not coming on a good mission, so they stopped her from entering the school and she was forced to detonate her bombs outside the premises".

The share of digital recordings in the total euro-denominated wholesale of recordings in Finland rose to close on 83 per cent in 2017. CD sales were only one-tenth of the volume of 2003. The total value of recording sales was nearly EUR 40 million. Sales grew by around 8.5 per cent from the previous year but were only good one-half of the top sum of 2003.
The sales of digital recordings exceeded physical sales for the first time in 2014. In the last few years, among physical recordings only sales of vinyl records has increased. In 2017, their share both in the value of unit sales and wholesale was close to ten per cent.
On the book markets, physical products, printed books, still dominate. According to the Finnish Book Publishers Association's statistics, the wholesale value of printed books was around EUR 222 million in 2017 and that of digital publications was close on EUR 35 million.
The total wholesale value of printed books went up by close on three per cent in 2017 from the previous year. The growth for digital publications was more than 46 per cent but it has not shaken the dominance of printed books.
The use of digital publications becoming more common has decreased most the sales of non-fiction: since 2008 the wholesale value of printed non-fiction books has declined by nearly 35 per cent calculated at nominal value. Over the same time, the sales of textbooks for comprehensive schools grew by 28 per cent.
New updates have been added to Statistics Finland's cultural statistics table service. The tables of the table service are updated four times per year and analysing articles are published in connection with the tables. The tables are in Finnish and English, and the articles in Finnish.

Cabrillo Festival calls off 2020 season in the face of coronavirus concerns

The Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, one of the nation's leading celebrations of new music for orchestra, has canceled its 2020 season because of concerns over the coronavirus.
This is the first season cancellation in the 58-year history of the Santa Cruz summer festival.
The 2020 season, scheduled for July 25-Aug. 9 under Music Director Cristian Macelaru, was to have included world premieres by Stacy Garrop, Jake Heggie and Sean Shepherd, as well as a memorial tribute to the late composer Christopher Rouse.
Cabrillo's cancellation marks the first change to the Bay Area's summer classical music calendar caused by the pandemic. Music@Menlo, the chamber music series scheduled for July 17-Aug. 8, is still on the books, as is the summer season of West Edge Opera, July 25-Aug. 9. The Merola Opera Program, the San Francisco Opera Center's summer training program, is also currently on track for performances.
Cabrillo's Executive Director Ellen M. Primack and Board President Liza Culick wrote in a joint statement on the festival's website, "Because all our artists travel from across the country and the globe to stay in homes with members of our community, we are especially vulnerable; and, in turn, we feel a special sense of responsibility to safeguard those we hold most dear."
A video message from Macelaru promises that the festival will add content drawn from previous seasons on its website.
"I wanted to reassure you that while things will be different this summer in Santa Cruz without Cabrillo Festival in 2020," he says, "it ensures and allows us to be able to return back in 2021 stronger, more powerful and better than ever."

In an age of cheap plastics and mass-producing factories, woodworking, a centuries-old craft and what used to be an important and necessary skill among common folk, has now become something of a mystery.
But woodworking is no mystery at all. And if you share in the admiration of any kind of gorgeous wood furniture, it's not too late to learn to become a fine craftsman. Not sure where to start? The Melbourne Guild of Fine Woodworking is one of the few there is in Australia that offers a fully-equipped studio and provides comprehensive learning courses and tuition on woodworking and furniture making.
In this interview, we take a peek at what's beyond the sawdust and chat with founder Alastair Boell about how he started MGFW, his thoughts on the woodworking industry, and what it takes to become a fine woodworker.
How did you get into woodworking and how long have you been doing it?
I discovered woodworking at the University of Melbourne where I was doing a Bachelor of Education (Arts and Crafts). But as a professional, my career started in 2003 where I attended a specialist Fine Furniture Making school (North Bennet Street School) in Boston, USA.
Can you tell us a little bit about Melbourne Guild of Woodworking and its foundation?
After returning to Melbourne from studying in Boston, essentially I needed a job, as I had two young children at home. During the first couple of years back, I worked for two other woodworking schools in Melbourne and to be honest, I had an appalling experience at both. Consequently, I had a strong feeling that a lot more could be achieved if I started my own school, which I did in 2008. Initially I started with 2 classes with a total of 14 students.
What are the hardest aspects of working with wood?
Splinters are a constant occupational hazard! But really I find wood to be the perfect medium. I don't find anything wrong with it. It is beautiful, warm to touch, incredibly versatile and sustainable within the handcrafted furniture industry. We are able to source it ourselves and it lasts for centuries if well looked after. If I could make one request to Mother Nature, it would be that timbers natural colours were not affected by sunlight. Unfortunately over time, the natural vivid colours tend to deteriorate and become dull.
Yes, I do! But what you might be interested in is the way we get them out! Not with tweezers but a razor sharp chisel! I run the chisel down the splinter, cutting the skin above it and then force the chisel under the tip of the splinter and because the chisel is razor sharp, it has the ability to pull the splinter out, usually cleanly!
Can you tell us about your workshops? How are they unique?
Firstly, the school is unique because it is a family-run business. And although it may sound cliche, we absolutely LOVE what we do. And really our students feel more like an extended family.
Apart from this, we are providing education dedicated to traditional skills. This in itself is unique in Australia, because most schools focus on design. Our main focus is on traditional skills, mixed with modern skills, proportions and timber choices. Design really should come naturally once these areas are mastered.
Another reason we are unique is that we also do our own timber milling. For example, the Melbourne Botanical Gardens donate logs to us, and with our 2-tonne timber mill bought from the USA, we are able to process this timber, dry it, and make it available to our students. No other woodworking school in Australia does this!
Our 'Open Courses' and any classes associated with our international and interstate guests have been well-received. The Open Courses are popular because each student is making their own individual piece at their own leisure. Therefore, one person may be making a box with hand-cut dovetails, while another person may be making a complicated chair. The classes are small (max 7-8 students per class) so the instructor can go around to each student to teach them the next skill that they're needing to know in order to move forward.
Can you share any interesting discoveries your students make in the classes?
One of the most common discoveries students make when they come here is patience! About 90% of our students are initially surprised at how long projects take. But also, people develop a deep and profound understanding and appreciation for what is involved in producing beautiful pieces of furniture. Furniture that has hand-cut dovetails and other joinery, personally selected timber, hand-planed surfaces, carved elements, or hand-finished with oils or shellac.
Also, a really enjoyable moment as a teacher is to see students genuinely surprised and thrilled by their achievements. Surprised because often these projects are complex and require a great degree of effort, determination and skill to complete. These moments keep me motivated.
Is there anything you would most like to change about the industry of woodworking?
In short, an accurate answer to this question would take far too long! But some things that I would love to change are people's perceptions of our craft and for that matter, crafts in general. Generally, people don't have a great appreciation for anything handcrafted in Australia. We would much rather spend thousands of dollars updating our bathrooms and kitchens than spend money on a beautifully crafted piece of furniture.
Also I would like to see a stronger emphasis on traditional skills in the industry and a reduced influence on our education facilities from the kitchen cabinet-making industry. A reintroduction of a traditional apprenticeship program. A bi-annual national prize in the tens of thousands of dollars to compete with some of the other major arts prizes. I could go on, but these are just to name a few.
In Germany, for example, furniture makers are licensed. In France, to become a furniture maker requires at least 6 years of study. In Japan, a temple making apprenticeship takes 12 years! There is a very long and passionate history of fine arts and crafts within these countries. The relationship between the arts and crafts and their societies is strong, dynamic and sustainable. Encouraging this same relationship in Australia is one of the driving forces behind our school.
What advice do you have for those just starting out?
For anyone considering becoming a professional furniture maker in Australia, firstly, I would say you need to be committed, completely committed! Australia is one of the toughest environments in the world to become a successful furniture maker. Being committed is easily maintained by staying connected to like-minded people through clubs and schools, and continuously seeking the advice of people who love and are passionate about their chosen career. Get involved in Instagram where this passion is there for all to see. Share a workshop with people who inspire you.
Lastly, what are you working on right this minute?
I am working on a commission for a client who lives in King Lake. They survived the "Black Saturday" bushfires in 2009. They managed to salvage a very old pear tree that had perished in the fire on the family farm. I milled the pear tree for them and remarkably I have two boards that have a charred section at their base. Emanating from this charred section is a contrasting red and orange streak of hard wood that looks just like a flame! The two boards are for the top of the hall table and the base is being made from ancient red gum, which is black and was buried metres down on their property and dug up in 2010.
Get started in fine woodworking and furniture making!

Good news: The Tesla Model X SUV launched Tuesday night. With so much already known about it since its original announcement 31 months ago, the surprise was how close the Model X comes to the sibling Tesla Model S on economy. EPA figures announced Monday give the Model X with the larger 90-kWh battery a range of 250-257 miles — not far off from the 253-270 mile range of the Model S. The Tesla dog-and-pony was also September's best news for the auto industry that suffered reports of widespread diesel emissions cheating and then Fiat Chrysler failing to report deaths and injuries in its cars.
Tesla also delivered the first half-dozen Model X vehicles to customers, and at the same time said civilians who get in line today for a Model X can expect delivery about a year from now. The price could be as low as $70,000, but the nicely equipped Signature edition will be $132,000.
The Tesla Model X measures 197 inches long, in the sweet spot of midsize SUVs such as the Porsche Cayenne (191 inches), BMW X5 / BMW X6 (192 inches), or Volvo XC90 (195 inches). But Tesla claims three more-or-less usable rows of seats; because of the long hood lines on other SUVs, even on Shamu-class SUVs such as the Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator measuring more than 200 inches, the third row is not the comfort row for adults.
You could also call the Tesla Model X a three-row crossover or even a hatchback (a death word for US sales until recently). Note the general similarity to the BMW X6 crossover (photo above). With its sloping rear and massive sunroof, this is not a vehicle suited for a car-top carrier. Skis and bikes will ride behind the Model X.
Tesla could be a leader in luxury SUV sales once production is up to speed in 2016. The top sellers among high-end premium SUVs move 25,000-30,000 units a year: Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes-Benz GL. Premium midsize SUVs such as the BMW X5 and Mercedes M-Class sell about 50,000 units a year. It's likely the Model X, in full production, would surpass the Model S in sales (about 15,000 units a year). Especially if ski resorts within 200 miles of Silicon Valley and other Tesla sales hotbeds install Superchargers, the 45-minutes-to-full free charging network. SUVs are the go-to vehicles for hauling kids around, stocking up at Costco, and family vacation trips.
At Monday's introduction, the gull wing doors, or Falcon Wing doors as Tesla calls them, were a highlight. As well they should be since their complexity was one cause of the multiple delays from the initially planned 2013 then 2014 ship dates. Falcon Wing is a cool term and makes you forget gullwing doors have been on other cars before, ranging from the 1950s Mercedes-Benz 300 SL coupe (today worth up to $5 million in mint condition) to the DeLorean.
This new millennium falcon door is double-hinged, so the car be parked 12 inches from a wall or other car. How do you know you won't whack another car, or the garage door? Tesla put an ultrasonic sensor on each door and a third on the roof to track the door's progress and stop if it's about to hit something. That's a lot cooler than, say, manually setting the max height for an SUV's rear liftgate.
All Tesla Model X vehicles are all-wheel drive with 259 hp front and rear electric motors (Model X 90D), or 503 hp for the rear motor on the performance model P90D. The cockpit can be ordered in a 2-3-2 or 2-2-2 seating arrangement. Either way, the middle-row seats are on chromed pedestals offering lots of adjustments. The front doors are regular doors; the Falcon Wing doors are for the middle and third rows.
Tesla cites these standard features: the 17-inch center stack LCD display; a rear spoiler that pops up speed; maps and navigation with traffic updates; front and rear trunks; an eight-year unlimited mileage ("infinite mileage" says Tesla) battery warranty; and four LATCH child seat attachments, two each for the middle and third rows. Tesla says the Model X "panoramic windshield" is the largest ever installed in a production vehicle and sweeps back far enough to reduce A-pillar (front pillar) blind-spot problems.
Standard safety features include parking sonar, blind spot warning and side collision warning, and integrated telematics. As new or enhanced safety features arrive, Tesla adds them automatically via over-the-air updates. That's how the Model S added some of the rudimentary self-driving features not initially available.
The price of a Tesla Model X is a slippery thing to calculate exactly, but then for Tesla buyers it may be like the price of yacht fuel ("if you have to ask …"). It's possible to get one eventually for about $71,000. Early adopters are being offered the Signature Edition, very fully equipped, for $132,000. Tesla CEO Elon Musk says the Model X will be about $5,000 more than a comparably equipped Model S sedan.
Subzero weather package, $1,000, heated steering wheel, heated seats, heated washer fluid, and windshield wiper defrosters.
Towing package, $750, for 5,000 pound loads, putting it midway between the Class II rating (3,500 pounds) and Class III (8,000 pounds) industry ratings.
"Destination and regulatory doc fee," $1,200. Even Tesla charges customers for filling out paperwork without which the vehicle can't be sold.
Possible federal tax credit for EV purchase, $7,500.
Possible state tax credit, varies by state, up to $2,500.
When Tesla cites selling prices, it often factors in the federal and California tax credits.
Tesla warned that battery life might be about 8% lower than the Model S sedan that shares the same platform, since the Model X is heavier and has more frontal area. The EPA ratings for the 90D series were surprisingly close to the Model S figures. The Model X 90D all-wheel-drive is rated at 257 miles range and 92 MPGe, with acceleration of 4.8 seconds 0-60 mph. MPGe compares the dollar cost of electricity used versus how few gallons of fuel you'd have to buy to travel the same distance. As the EPA graphic above shows, the 90D uses 37 kWh of electricity to travel 100 miles. Electricity used by consumers currently costs 13.0 centers per kilowatt hour (July 2015 prices, the latest available), says the EPA, so that 100-mile cost would be $4.81. With gasoline at $2.32 per gallon (regular gas, 9/28/15 EPA price calculations), you're using the equivalent of a little over 2 gallons of gasoline.
The performance P90D is rated at 250 miles range and 89 MPGe. 0-60 runs take 3.8 seconds, or 3.2 seconds if you opt for the Ludicrous Speed Upgrade.
These are the EPA's figures. Your mileage will vary, and in cold weather they'll vary downward. In winter, you might be under 200 miles. Still, that beats any other EV on the road by a factor of two.
Among American car buyers, the trend is away from sedans and into SUVs. The compact SUV has surpassed the midsize sedan as the single largest market segment. The best-selling Porsche is not a sports car, but the Cayenne midsize SUV, followed closely by the Macan compact SUV. The high-end Mercedes-Benz GL-Class outsells the high-end Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan.
Tesla appears to be losing Model S customers to traditional SUVs. According to data collected by Edmunds.com, nearly 30% of Tesla trade-ins were for SUVs (chart above). Jessica Caldwell, Edmunds' director of industry analysis, said would-be buyers of the Tesla Model X cross-shopped (in advance of the announcement) the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Porsche Cayenne, Porsche Macan, Volvo XC90, Land Rover Range Rover Sport, Land Rover Discovery Sport, Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, BMW X5, Audi Q5, BMW X3, Lexus RX 350, Lexus NX 200t, Acura MDX, and BMW 3 Series, in that order. Twelve of those 15 are SUVs or crossovers, mostly high-end; all except Tesla are brands headquartered outside the US.
Tesla now has announced and shipped three electric vehicles: the Tesla Roadster in 2008, the Tesla Model S in 2013, and the Tesla Model X in 2015. The affordable Tesla Model 3 (originally Tesla Model E) has been discussed but not formally announced. That is expected in early 2016 with shipments a year or two later. The Model 3 would sell for about $35,000, although that may be a $45,000 sticker-price car that figures in the possible $10,oo0 in tax credits, but not options or the shipping and documentation fees. Tesla describes the Model 3 as being the size of a BMW 3 Series or Audi A4. It would use a steel body, where the Model S used aluminum and the Roadster carbon fiber.
With the Model S, Model X, and Model 3 in production, Tesla hopes to reach production of 50,000 cars a year, the point at which Tesla says it can attain sustainability. The volume requires the successful ramp-up of its Nevada Gigafactory joint venture with Panasonic for lithium-ion battery production. Tesla also makes money selling clean air credits to other automakers.
Tesla last year sold about 17,000 EVs (all Model S), second only to the Nissan Leaf (30,000 sales). All told, battery electric vehicles (BEVs) had 63,000 sales in 2014, or 0.4% of the 16.4 million cars, SUVs and light trucks sold in 2014. In comparison, hybrid sales were 452,000 (2.8% of total US sales) and plug-in hybrid sales were 55,000 (0.3% of total sales). Diesel sales were 138,000 (0.8% of sales) in 2014 and are probably trending downward this year in the wake of the emissions tinkering problems.

Fiorito: Toronto's gay history honoured by painter
By Joe FioritoColumnist
Sun., May 20, 2012timer4 min. read
George MacIntyre wore a black jacket, his brightest tie, his handsome top hat. He was about to unveil his latest painting, a portrait of Woody's Bar, at a small gathering in the 519 Community Centre.
This event is worth noting: over the years, George has been working on a series of paintings in honour of the most important places in the history of gay Toronto.
The painting of Woody's is the 11th of 12 works that George hopes will one day be made into a calendar. The others are, in order: Barrett House; Casey House; The AIDS Memorial; McEwan House; St. Michael's Hospital; The Barn; Bar 501; Honest Ed's; The St. Charles Tavern and The 519.
The paintings are, in a sense, chapters of this city's history. The last in the series is a painting of the Rosar-Morrison Funeral Home; it is nearly done and . . . back up a second, how did Honest Ed's get on the list?
Before the evening began, refreshments were offered around the room. Someone asked the man next to me if he would like a cookie.
"I said it nicely."
"What kind of cookie?"
He accepted oatmeal/raisin, and then someone else said, in a loud aside, "Are we expecting the mayor?"
Not then, we weren't.
Just before the painting was unveiled George spoke briefly and emotionally. "It was 30 years ago this September that I was diagnosed with HIV." That means he was diagnosed in 1982; that also means he is a walking miracle, and his work is therefore a bright and brave history of the darkest times.
He said he began to paint in Barrett House, Toronto's first residence for men with AIDS. George said, "Boys were dying there every day. Brother Gerrard — he was a lovely man — told us we each needed a project, something to lift us up."
George chose to paint in the folk-art style. I'm not sure if the paintings saved his life, but it would be easy to make the case.
We went for coffee the other day, and one of the first things I did was to ask about Honest Ed.
It is a long, good story:
"When I was first tested, the results came back negative, but I noticed a decline in my health and I got tested again. This time, the results were positive.
"I couldn't work any more. I'd been making $25 an hour as a dietitian. I was dismissed. My license was taken away. I had tuberculosis and pneumonia."
He was too sick to work for a long time, and when the AIDS cocktail was eventually concocted, he was taking 60 pills a day. His health was up and down.
He had a bit of cushion in the bank, but money was a problem. "I needed a job. I'd had 37 rejections. I was almost suicidal. One day I went into a bar. They told me to see Honest Ed, because there was a job as a line cook.
"When I got there, Ed invited me into his office and made me a bowl of cappuccino. He looked at my résumé. He asked why I wanted to work for $6.50 an hour when I'd been making $25. I told him to keep reading." Ed kept reading.
"He froze. He looked down. He clasped his hands. He never said a word. I got up to put on my coat and he said, 'Where are you going?'
"And then he said, 'I need you more than you need me.'" Read that again, and remember the times: there was Ed Mirvish, under the radar, on the cutting edge.
"I told him I'd work two days for free, and if he was happy on the third day, he could hire me. Ed said, 'No, I'll pay you for the two days, and on the third day you can tell me if you're happy.'
"I told him I'd work with gloves on. He said the only time I'd have to wear gloves is if I took his wife to supper."
George worked for Ed for three years; eventually he went on to cook at the Hot Stove Lounge at Maple Leaf Gardens, and many other places.
These days he is retired.
I also asked him why the last painting in the series is of a funeral home. "There was a day, years ago, when I was staying at Casey House, when we lost three people in one day. Two families did not come to claim their relatives. We called around; no one would take the others, and then Rosar replied. They were the first funeral home in the city to bury people who had AIDS."
Such are the uses of art.

Thunder hold on beat Spurs 98-97, even series at 1-1
Published: Mon, May 2, 2016 12:00 AM Updated: Mon, May 2, 2016 11:31 PM
SAN ANTONIO (AP) —
Russell Westbrook had 29 points and 10 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder held on to beat San Antonio 98-97 on Monday night, evening the series at one game apiece when the Spurs failed to score on a wild sequence in the final seconds.
Kevin Durant added 28 points as the Thunder handed the Spurs just their second home loss of the season, rebounding from a 32-point beating in Game 1.
San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich complained to officials after the game that Dion Waiters went over the allotted five seconds to inbound the ball on Oklahoma City's final possession. Replays showed Waiters elbowed Manu Ginobili to get the space needed to pass the ball to Durant, who was immediately stripped by Danny Green. Patty Mills missed an open 3-pointer, LaMarcus Aldridge lost the ball after grabbing the airball and Kawhi Leonard was unable to gather the ball before the buzzer sounded.
Aldridge had 41 points, but the Spurs shot 43 percent as a team after shooting 61 percent in the series opener.
Leonard was held to 14 points on 7-for-18 shooting. Ginobili was the only other San Antonio player in double figures, scoring 11 points on 5-for-8 shooting.
San Antonio missed 12 of its first 13 shots, struggling to even hit the rim after seemingly making every shot it took in the opening quarter of Game 1. The Spurs missed six layups and Green awkwardly tossed a hard runner that ricocheted off the backboard.
Game 3 is Friday at Oklahoma City.

Aldridge had 13 points in the final quarter, including a pair of three-point plays. The All-Star forward drained his second 3-pointer of the season to pull San Antonio within 96-94 and then made three free throws after being fouled by Serge Ibaka to pull the Spurs within 98-97 with 13.5 seconds to set up the final play.
The series of missteps almost wiped away a strong outing by the Thunder.
Oklahoma City moved the ball much better than it did in the opener, providing the space it needed against San Antonio's collapsing defense and providing Westbrook with room to drive and set up teammates, including a thunderous dunk by Stephen Adams after a pass backward.
