I had said about a month ago that I would talk a bit about my mother-in-law's terminal diagnosis. She has pancreatic cancer. We are piling up memories. Making sure that the younger grandchildren have time with her is a high priority. Both my husband and I are able to offer support and BE THERE. Not everyone can.
Cancer, unfortunately, is a fairly common affliction. Chances are good that you'll eventually know someone who's fighting their way through the disease. It may be a child at your center, a staff member or a person in your personal life. Avoid being that friend who doesn't come around or call when someone you know is dealing with serious illness. Step up to be the one your friend or loved one can count on to help.
State, "I'm here to help you." Then, mean it. Be definite and specific since a person with cancer needs people who will push forward and help them get the daily things done so they can rest and recuperate from chemotherapy and radiation treatments if they are going through treatment. If they aren't currently having treatment, they will still need help.
Cook dinner for your friend and their family every week. Make lasagna and buy a bag of salad and drop it off. Brew a big pot of soup and take it over. Make a Crockpot full of pulled pork, buy coleslaw at your local deli, and drop them off with fresh buns for quick sandwiches.
Providing nourishment and pre-made meals for your cancer-fighting friend can be the most loving thing to do for them and their family members.
Be aware that they will probably have a smaller appetite than usual while undergoing treatment.
Take them to therapy. One of the scariest parts of dealing with cancer is undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. It can be a 3- or 4-hour session at the cancer treatment center followed by them getting a contraption strapped on that has an I.V. connected to it that continues to deliver more medication over the next few days. Don't feel you have to talk the who time. Being comfortable sitting with someone in silence is golden.
Transporting to and from these sessions can be so helpful for family members that are overloaded with the stress of dealing with the disease on a day-to-day basis. Plus, family members often must continue to work to bring money into the household and can't be available every day to transport.
Ask when the best time is for them to receive calls. Keep in mind that your loved one who has cancer feels very tired and will be trying to nap and rejuvenate as much as possible. Make arrangements for when you'll call so it won't disturb them. You could also ask them to text or call you when they feel like talking. When you are there pay attention to their cues, and cut the visit short if they are in pain or tired. I know you miss spending time with them, but they may not be up to it for as long as you are.
Be sensitive and understanding. If you've ever needed to be aware of someone's feelings, it's when a friend is coping with cancer. Your friend might be feeling cranky and annoyed. Or they might be crying and depressed.
Sometimes, if you just listen and acknowledge that their reactions are normal and they're entitled to their feelings, it's all that's necessary to lend support.
Find something you can do with them that helps them feel like their old self. For my mother-in-law it is flowers and gardening. Is there a way to create a small way to bring that back into their life?
Deal appropriately with your own feelings first. You might be feeling pretty devastated about the news that your loved one has cancer. Allow yourself to cry about it with your spouse or another friend before you talk with your sick friend. The image I used for this blog is the ring theory of grief. When you are in pain you want to express that pain to others who are affected. The key element is to share with people in the same circle or those further out. Don't go inward, they are dealing with it on more levels than you are. If the people in the middle want to talk with you- fine. Otherwise, share outward.
Lean on your journal to help you process your feelings and work to accept what's happening regarding your loved one's health. Giving yourself a day or two to adjust to the news before speaking to the friend with cancer (if possible) will help you focus more on how they're feeling and what they're going through.
Make a consistent effort to take a positive approach. The fact is that many people survive cancer these days. Tell her you're proud of how she's handling the whole thing. Acknowledge how she continues to do whatever is necessary to cope with her illness. The more positive energy you can bring to her, the better she'll fare through her recovery.
Do what you can to be a consistent, strong support to a loved one fighting cancer. You'll be so glad you did.

Facing the Reality of Racial Terror
By: Jon Spayde, Senior Editor of Public Art Review
Artists, Arts organizations, Equity
The memorial was created by a public-interest lawyer and his nonprofit in collaboration with designers. "Stevenson is deeply conversant in the recent history of memorial architecture, citing the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, Peter Eisenman's Holocaust Memorial in Berlin and the Lincoln Memorial in Washington among his inspirations." —Phillip Kennicott in the Washington Post. Photo courtesy Equal Justice Initiative / Human Pictures.
Sculpture at memorial by Ghanaian artist Kwame Akoto-Bamfo. "Changing the narrative about the legacy of slavery requires some measure of courage. We're asking people to be brave. We believe that understanding our history won't harm us, it will actually empower us to create a better future."—Bryan Stevenson, quoted in artnet News. Photo courtesy Equal Justice Initiative / Human Pictures.
Article was originally published by Forecast
The design of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice is elegant, but it evokes unease. Its vast open rectangular roof is supported by row upon row of somber, weathered steel slabs from which slender poles rise. When you know that this new monument in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated on April 26, 2018, is offered to the memory of some 4,400 African Americans murdered by mobs between 1877 and 1950, the somberness makes sense. But nothing prepares a visitor for the experience of traversing the four sides of the rectangle.
At first, all the slabs are at eye level and appear to support the structure. But the final two galleries take you down inclines, and it's clear that the majority of the slabs are now suspended from the roof. As you travel lower, they rise above you: hundreds upon hundreds of them, each representing one of the 805 counties in 12 southern states, and eight states outside the South, where mobs carried out what the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) terms "racial terror lynchings"—public murders, often involving torture and mutilation, intended to remind black Americans that the slightest deviation from the rules of Jim Crow could be fatal. The slabs, roughly human-size, are inscribed with the names of the dead; for Phillips County, Arkansas, the worst of all, there are 245 names.
The memorial was conceived by Bryan Stevenson, founder and executive director of EJI, a Montgomery-based legal nonprofit, and designed by him in collaboration with MASS Design Group of Boston. It's the fruit of EJI's research into the brutal history and mind-numbing extent of lynching between Reconstruction and the dawn of the civil rights era.
A Site for Contemplation and Learning
The memorial proper sits on a six-acre site owned by EJI, a few blocks from the center of Montgomery and a mile or so from the state capitol and its cluster of Confederate statues. Figural public art on-site helps tell the story not only of lynching but, as the EJI website puts it, "of enslaved black people…African Americans humiliated by racial segregation and Jim Crow, and people of color burdened with contemporary presumptions of guilt and police violence."
As they enter the grounds, visitors are confronted by Ghanaian artist Kwame Akoto-Bamfo's sculpture of black men and women in chains; elsewhere on the grounds, bronze figures by artist-journalist Dana King honor the women who supported the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and Hank Willis Thomas has created a somber wall from which rise the hands and heads of black men in gestures of surrender, evoking recent confrontations—many of them fatal—between black Americans and the police.
In a field next to the memorial are duplicates of all 805 slabs. They're intended to be brought to the counties they represent and erected as memorials there. "Over time," writes Fred A. Bernstein in Architectural Digest, "absences will reveal which communities have helped spread the Memorial's moving message—and which have not."
The Museum: from Slavery to Mass Incarceration
Along with the memorial, EJI has built the Legacy Museum, located in downtown Montgomery on the site of a former slave warehouse and close to a slave auction site, with artifacts and digital displays that link five themes: slavery, racial terrorism (including lynching), segregation, police violence against African Americans, and mass incarceration of black people. It's an art gallery as well, with thematic works by Titus Kaphar, Sanford Biggers, Glenn Ligon, Jacob Lawrence, and Elizabeth Catlett.
Equal Justice Institute: A Passion for Justice
Bryan Stevenson, a Harvard-trained public-interest lawyer, founded the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) in 1989. Under his leadership the organization has won reversals, relief, or release in the cases of 125 prisoners wrongly condemned to death row, while also working tirelessly against excessive and unfair sentencing and the abuse of prisoners and the mentally ill. Recently EJI has broadened its focus to include the history of incarceration and lynching in America.
Stevenson's work on behalf of children sentenced as adults came into sharp focus in 2012, when his arguments before the Supreme Court resulted in a ruling that mandatory life-without-parole sentences for children 17 or younger are unconstitutional. His many honors include a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, the Lannan Foundation Prize for Human and Civil Rights, and the Lawyer for the People Award from the National Lawyers Guild.

AmericanLife TV will premiere its new documentary Invisible Wounds, on Tuesday, Oct. 21 at 11 p.m., giving viewers first-hand accounts from soldiers dealing with post traumatic stress syndrome after returning from combat in Iraq.
Through interviews with veterans and their families, from WWII to Vietnam to Iraq, the documentary examines the rarely discussed challenges many of our veterans encountered upon returning home.
"These issues impact many American families whose loved ones have dedicated their lives to the service of this nation. It is our hope that we at AmericanLife TV Network highlight the "invisible wounds" of our veterans and families," Larry Meli, president and COO, AmericanLife TV Network, said in a statement.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that is developed after exposure to a traumatizing experience that is either physically harmful or threatening to a person. Events that cause PTSD include horrific accidents, natural disasters, personal attacks and most commonly military combat. People with this disorder usually have a difficult time controlling their emotions, feelings and thoughts.


Ths story originally ran on PR Daily in March, 2015. Whether it's the neighbor who mows the lawn at 7 a.m. on a Saturday or the woman who cuts in front of you in the elementary school drop-off line, bad manners are everywhere. The online world is no exception.
Last year, I wrote a post about social media etiquette, matching social media errors to Jane Austen characters. As a follow up, here are a few email faux pas. Communicators with plenty of corporate experience have likely experienced these and cringed accordingly.
Knowing that people often have size limitations on their in-boxes or that several corporate email systems bounce unfamiliar emails sent with attachments, why would anyone send an unsolicited, huge attachment? Further, why would anyone send an unsolicited, huge attachment to a cold prospect? If you want someone to see a publication or a spreadsheet or a presentation, send it as a link instead. 2. Emails with an assigned urgency.
PR Daily readers, what email blunders drive you crazy?

LUCCA COLLECTION by Bloem: If your green thumb can get a little forgetful, make sure you get the Bloem Lucca planter on your side. The planter comes with an attached basin that can be filled for the plant to feed from once the root system is established. To start the plant, use convention top watering techniques and then switch to bottom watering by filling the basin as needed for the roots to wick the water up. The fill spot is more subtle than traditional self-watering planters, giving the flower pot a more acceptable appearance. Sested accessories (sold separately) - Bloem Aqua Rite Watering Cans available in 56 oz. and 144 oz. size in multiple color options. The long-stem spout and small opening allows you to control the water flow to your plants and makes it easier to water those hard to reach places. Works great for watering indoors potted plants, hard to reach plants, or self-watering planters.
Self-watering feature creates a water reservoir to prevent over and under watering. Perfect for first-time gardeners, travelers, and drought conditions.

Twenty-four staff photographers face the axe at newspaper and magazine publisher Johnston Press, claims the National Union of Journalists (NUJ).
Johnston Press publishes more than 200 newspapers and magazines, including The Yorkshire Post and The Scotsman.
'The company intends to replace the work of professional photographers with pictures garnered from social media and sent in by readers,' says the NUJ.
The NUJ's deputy general secretary Barry Fitzpatrick adds: 'This decision by the company represents a wanton disposal of the local knowledge and skills of staff photographers working in England and Scotland.
'The notion that these roles can be replaced by social media and multi-skilling reporters is a fallacy.
'Quality content is defined by the quality of pictures and captions of images used, which only professional photographers provide.
Earlier this year, photographers reacted angrily to the apparent axing of the entire full-time photography team – including a Pulitzer Prize winner – at a major US newspaper.
The Chicago Sun-Times and its sister publications were reported to have laid off 28 photography staff in a move blamed on increased demand among readers for online video – captured, not by photographers, but by reporters.
according to a report from the Paris Photo show by the British Journal of Photography.
Johnston Press had urged photographers to leave as part of a voluntary redundancy scheme, according to the NUJ.
The firm this evening told Amateur Photographer it could not confirm the number of staff involved as consultation was 'ongoing'.
In a statement, the company said that a number of photographic roles have been placed 'at risk' and that bosses were making 'difficult decisions to help ensure a sustainable, multi-platform future for local journalism'.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg led the charge today at the Oculus 5 event. They unveiled the new Santa Cruz headset now renamed Oculus Quest.

The purpose of the Trailways' network of companies is to cooperatively work together to build relationships and market strength.
As the new President & CEO, Eva Hotard's primary goals are to strengthen and grow the Trailways Family. "I believe flying a brand flag is serious business," she said.
"A brand is only as good as the companies that fly its flag. We thank you for your brand loyalty and for flying the flag so proudly. Our goal is to help you become the best brand ambassador you can be to provide excellent service to our customers.
Looking ahead, Trailways is focused on the three main goals: Charter Sales & Promotion; Ticket Sales and Branding Enhancement. These are outlined in the Board-approved Strategic Plan 2016-18.
Charter Leads are received by various channels at the Trailways Virginia home office: via the online website Quote Form, E-mail and Telephone. Web leads are sent quickly to the nearest Trailways company, based on the trip zip code, for your prompt response directly with the customer.
The Trailways Quote Form leads are qualified leads: Please be sure to respond to these free leads within 24 hours or less, if possible. Your good customer service is appreciated and is a reflection on the entire brand.
Charter Promotion: Trailways is working to significantly improve the website SEO to drive more customers to the new website in order to book more charters with Trailways operators.
Charter Sales Promotion – Trailways attended IPW (Pow Wow) in New Orleans in June. Reports and lead sheets are being compiled. Trade shows are open to all Trailways companies on a cost-shared basis.
Next, Trailways will attend the Student Youth Travel Association (SYTA) meeting in August in Orlando.
We also attend state bus associations meetings to connect, learn and share Trailways news and opportunities.
Through the Trailways website (www.Trailways.com), we are executing a full force plan to grow the brand strength.
In June, we maximized our SEO on ticketing content to have more than 135,000 indexes on all the various search engines (Bing, Google, Facebook, Trip Advisor, etc.) and page code tags that are specific, relevant and in turn drive traffic to the site overall. Purchasing "results" are returning to 2014-15 levels.
We are already seeing ticket sales increasing. In the next month (August) our analytics will combine traffic to both URLs (Trailways.com and webstore.trailways.com).
In addition, more city pairs / origin to destination options are being added through ticketing partners in locations Trailways may not serve. This will add to travel options that can actually be sold.
We will also be adding route maps in the near future allowing a buyer to "see" the route they're looking to purchase.
The main showpiece for the Trailways brand, its website www.trailways.com was completely redesigned last year. The new streamlined and responsive website premiered in October 2015 (Phase I).
As a "responsive" website, it is easily viewed on all mobile devices, a feature Google now uses to determine the best and most viable websites.
Improve the level of professionalism for the Trailways brand on social media sites with the Finn Partners' young and tech-savvy digital team.
Drive interest in travel through use of new and better travel photos to accompany posts for campaigns.
Strategically work to improve Trailways visibility through high-level travel & media social media outlets: Budget Travel, Travel & Leisure, Redbook, Independent Traveler, New York Times Travel, etc.
Integrating OG: tags into all the SEO pages highly impacts social media channels. (Social media catalogs search content with OG: tags).
Looking ahead, Trailways is in search of high-quality companies with respect for customer service and those who strive to always deliver great service.
We will be contacting you for assistance in bringing into the Trailways family these types of companies. Trailways is a strong group of companies sharing resources to help all of our businesses grow. We also need to expand the market reach of the brand to help you grow.
Please contact eva@trailways.com or terri@Trailways.com or call us at 703-691-3052 x 3 (main) with your recommendations. Thank you.
Save the dates! The 81st Trailways Stockholders Meeting & Conference will take place March 26-28, 2017 in Newport Beach on the Pacific Ocean in California.

Advocacy Welcomes Phil Lovas to Region 9
By Office of Advocacy	 On Jun 30, 2017
Phil Lovas has been named the small business advocate for region 9. He is the office's eyes and ears in his region: Arizona, California, Guam, Hawaii, and Nevada.
Lovas chaired President Donald J. Trump's Arizona campaign effort in 2016, and he was an Arizona State Representative from 2012 to 2017. During the most recent Arizona legislative session, he served as chairman of the Rules Committee and served on the Banking and Insurance Committee.
Prior to serving in the legislature, Lovas was a regional director of development in the hospitality industry and spent over a decade developing franchised hotels throughout the western United States.
Lovas' priorities for his region are numerous.
"The first priority is to let small business organizations and proponents know I am in their region and available to help. I have been to a number of small business meetings during my time with Advocacy and the public doesn't know about all the resources the SBA provides. Working through the federal government can be challenging for many small business owners so it's important to be an available resource," Lovas said. "I am working to learn the issues that are important to each district. Region 9 is very diverse and the issues in northern California may be very different from those in Arizona or Hawaii."
Lovas said he is bringing some of the lessons he learned before becoming a regional advocate to the position.
"Much of my background is in the franchise industry. I would recommend those thinking about a small business and deciding whether to purchase a franchise or not think about what kind of business owner they want to be. Each case is unique, but generally, if one wants the simplest route to a starting a business, a franchise can provide a great template to business success. They often have systems in place that make it as turnkey as possible," Lovas said. "However, if one sees themselves as a more creative person who colors outside the lines, then franchising may not be the right fit as a franchiser could dictate everything from standards to purchasing. Finding the right industry and the right business fit for your personality is very important."
He is stationed in the SBA's Arizona District Office in Phoenix.

The goal of the Brand Research phase is to obtain a systematic understanding of the perceptions, mindsets, attitudes and motivations surrounding the brand from "inside-out" and "outside-in" perspectives – relative to the market and competition.
Our comprehensive process uncovers the insights we need to define your brand purpose (the business's essential reason for being, the higher order benefit it brings to the world) and your brand promise (the differentiated value you offer your customers).
From a third-party perspective, we will also help you investigate the marketing landscape in order to better understand trends and competitive influences impacting short- and long-term branding efforts.
Information gathered during the Brand Research phase will then be utilized as the basis for our Brand Strategy, Brand Alignment and Brand Activation phases.

Message from Your Executive Committee
From my first day on the Roorkee campus, I knew that Roorkee was not just about changing myself but a much broader change. Shared by many of us is the excitement and pride of walking the same halls as the ones recognized as leaders not just in India but in countries across continents.
As individuals we achieve success through our personal commitment and hard work. Now, we have an opportunity to come together and build an ecosystem where we combine experience with energy, resources with enthusiasm, maturity with risk to exceed our wildest expectations.
I am excited by the possibilities and in my heart, I know we can do it through everyone's continued support, collaboration and great ideas.
- Anoop
To achieve this, one of the objectives for your Executive Committee ("EC") is to "setup open and frequent communication forums among chapters for alumni activities". Details..
However, due to structural challenges, we fell short of meeting this goal. We were remiss in our commitment to be transparent, keep you updated and incorporate your feedback in refining our direction. We were called out on this and we are committed to correcting this.
To ensure that we provide periodic updates, we are establishing this Newsletter. It may remind you of "Mutifaria", the newsletter published by the alumni association in the early eightees and we have a similar goal to regularly share variety of content, like chapter events, news highlights, achievements, events.
With focus on two-way communication, we are also instituting regular communication forums with other alumni bodies - Chapter Presidents and PAN IIT to make sure that we are not only promoting higher synergies across alumni of different geographies but also setting up a structure for continued growth.
Your continued feedback and guidance is the only way for us to be successful in serving you, and we look forward to it.

Four BioSafety Levels (BSLs) apply to the microbiological laboratories which have special and often unique work environments.
BSL1 laboratories work with agents not known to cause disease in healthy adults and minimal potential hazard to laboratory personnel and the environment.
PRIMUS offers a BioSeal Flange with either Aluminum or Stainless Steel Extension Panels. The BioSeal provides a means of isolating load from the unload ends of the sterilizer. An isolation flange is welded to the full circumference of the sterilizer. Penetrations through the flange for electrical and piping components are secured with vapor proof fittings.
BSL3 laboratories include clinical, diagnostic, teaching, research or production facilities working with indigenous or exotic agents which may cause serious or potentially lethal disease as a result of exposure by the inhalation route.
BSL4 laboratories work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections and life-threatening disease. Laboratories use a double-door autoclave which is appropriately decontaminated between each use.
For BSL3 and BSL4 laboratories, PRIMUS offers a BioSeal Enhanced which is a biological seal consisting of a steam sterilizer with a BioSeal flange integrated to a fully gasketed seal allowing for movement of the sterilizer, mechanically fastened by locking bars and bolts to stainless steel panels attached to the embedment's building architecture. These special features provide the necessary containment barrier for your laboratory. Autoclave doors are automatically controlled. Doors outside of the containment barriers can only be opened after the autoclave "sterilization" cycle has been completed. Sterilizers are equipped with interlocks preventing cycle start unless the doors are fully closed and secured.
PRIMUS offers complete turn-key operations to help your laboratory design team when setting up a new or upgrading your BioSafety Lab. Let PRIMUS help you to ensure all requirements are met and that your laboratory fully meets all NIH safety requirements.

Public tours scheduled for Piscataquis Sheriff's Department office space
DOVER-FOXCROFT – Members of the public are invited to tour the existing Piscataquis County Sheriff's department office space later this month in advance of the Nov. 3 county bond referendum vote to finance the construction of a new Sheriff's office building.
Guided tours of the Sheriff's office space on Court Street are planned for Monday, Oct. 19, from 4-7 p.m.; and on Wednesdays, Oct. 21 and 28, from 1-4 p.m. Members of the public who cannot attend on those dates are welcome to visit the building any time during regular office hours from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Piscataquis County Commissioners have scheduled the county referendum vote on Nov. 3 to seek voter approval to issue general obligation bonds for $610,000 in order to construct a new Sheriff's office building on county land at the corner of East Main Street and School Street in Dover-Foxcroft. Those funds would be borrowed at an estimated interest rate of 3%, and the project would be paid off over a 10-year term at an annual cost of approximately $71,500 in principal and interest, starting in 2017.
Piscataquis County government currently has no long-term debt. With a current county budget of around $4 million, the cost of the Sheriff's office building project would increase county expenditures by 1.8% annually over the 10-year term of the bond issue.
The guided tours on Oct. 19, 21 and 28 are intended to demonstrate the pressing need for a new building by showing the public the many deficiencies in the existing office space, which was constructed in 1886 as part of the old county jail and originally used as living quarters for the family of the Piscataquis County Sheriff. When the new county jail was constructed in 1987, the former apartment became office space for the patrol and investigative division of the Sheriff's Department.
The proposed building project would relocate the eight employees in administration and the patrol and investigative division to a new office building. Corrections officers and dispatchers in the jail and telecommunications divisions of the Sheriff's Department would continue to be located in the Piscataquis County Jail on Court Street.
"The existing, two-story Sheriff's Office building was never designed to serve as offices, and this antiquated space does not allow for efficient operations of a modern law enforcement agency," said Tom Lizotte, Piscataquis County Manager. "The structure is a rabbit warren of cramped rooms, narrow hallways and steep staircases, and has multiple building and fire code compliance issues."
The existing Sheriff's Office has insufficient room for employee work stations, no private interview rooms, no conference room space, and a severe shortage of storage space for evidence, supplies, gear and uniforms.
The proposed new office at the corner of East Main and School Streets would be a single-story building on a concrete insulated slab, with 2,900 square feet of office space and a two-bay garage. In order to reduce construction costs, the County will partner with the public restitution program at the Charleston Correctional Facility to provide labor for carpentry on the exterior shell, roof system and interior partitions. Local, private contractors and businesses would be engaged for site preparation, foundation, materials supply, sheetrock, plumbing, heating, ventilation and electrical work.
If the bond issue is approved by voters on Nov. 3, Piscataquis County would plan to begin contruction on the project in spring, 2016.


Just coincidentally, I've come across some notes and handouts from the time, long, long ago when I did that writing course I'm often talking about. I thought I might share this helpful bit of information.
The only attribution I've come across is that it came from the Santa Barbara Writers Conference.
1.	In one simple sentence sum up to yourself what the story is about (eg: It's about a mousy woman, seduced and dumped by her employer, who gains revenge and redemption by making him grovel in the dirt at gunpoint). If you can't do it in one long sentence, maybe you have problems; maybe it's not yet clear in your mind.
2.	Do you have your principal characters wanting something, something very important to them? Is that aim made apparent to the reader?
3.	Do you indicate to the reader what the main character's basic problems – or at least foreshadow it – very early in the story? Is there a hook in the first paragraph to get the reader's attention? Do formidable obstacles stand in the way of the protagonist's aim? Is there an antagonist; is he or she a worthy one?
4.	Is it clear for whom the reader should pull? Do we know whom or what we're against?
5.	Does the dialogue propel the plot forward? Does the conversation reveal character and motivation? Or is it merely talk?
6.	Does the story unfold in scenes? Or is there too much telling and not enough showing?
7.	Is there inherent conflict expressed or implied on every page, in every scene?
8.	Does the story grow in tension until the resolution?
9.	Is the ending, whether sad or happy, a satisfying one? Is it consistent with what we know about the protagonist's character? Is it brought a bout by the character's action?
10.	Has the reader seen a change occur in the characters and their situation? Are things different than they were at the beginning of the story?
I think the ending makes the story. For me, If it's unsatisfactory (sad or happy doesn't matter) it blows the whole book. I've had a few of those and, despite being entertained reading a story, have considered it ultimately to be a waste of time.
I read a thriller once that had me going till the last handful of pages. I felt cheated by the ending.


She calls me "Mama Leisha": "Goldeneye" and an ER Adventure!
That is so sad! I got a little teary about the part where she's strapped down. 2 years ago Braden fell and split his chin wide open, and they had to do the same thing. But I did cry...just a little! ;) Hope she's heals fast...and remember to snack on those treats with her!
That thing they strap them in is AWFUL, isn't it? I hated it. Thanks for the comment, Jenn. And you BET I'm snacking right along with her. HA!
Poor little McLilly and the Mama Soldier! You are all VERY VERY brave! Love ya!

Sardinia is the second-largest island in the Mediterranean and home to the most exclusive beach resort in Italy. Costa Smeralda is as glamorous as it is expensive. It is also a perfect sailing spot for everyone who wants to explore Sardinia's stunning northeastern shore. Marinas at Costa Smeralda can get very crowded during summer so book a berth in advance.
Yacht charter is available throughout the whole Sardinia. While sailing in the north, you can visit an another country. French Corsica lies north, across the Strait of Bonifacio. The western and eastern coasts are better suited to experienced sailors, so charter a skippered yacht and get a deeper insight into the diverse Sardinian nature and rich culture. If you're searching for an easy cruise and a quiet holiday, book a bareboat charter on the southern coast.
Arrive to Cagliari Airport and head to the Port of Cagliari. After lunch and check-in, charter a yacht and sail to Villasimius/Crabonaxa located around 20 NM east of the city. Take a swim in crystal-clear sea, bask on the sandy beaches such as Cala Burroni, Cala Caterina, Spiaggia del Riso or Spiaggia di Campulongu, and do not miss an opportunity to see pink flamingos in the Stagno di Notteri lake.
Spend the night moored in a marina eating delicious Italian seafood with a glass of fine Italian wine.
Start your day with Mediterranean breakfast after which you will raise your sails and embark on a 24 NM long journey to Pula. It is situated on the west side of the Cagliari's bay and represents a popular holiday resort with beautiful beaches such as Punta d'Agumu and Spiaggia di Nora.
Nora is an ancient city which ruins and remains can be seen in the Giovanni Patroni Civic Museum. Visit the aquarium that houses marine species representative of the Laguna di Nora ecosystem. Try authentic Italian pizza for dinner.
Lounge on your yacht while you sail to your next stop - Porto Pino - located 28 NM west from Pula. It is an oasis of long family-friendly sandy beaches, crystal-clear sea and picturesque nature. There are restaurants and bars where you can try Italian pasta and coffee while enjoying the fresh Mediterranean air.
Go scuba diving, surfing or hiking. More pink flamingos can be seen in the Stagno di Brebéis and Stagno di Maestrale ponds. Take a walk in the evening and listen to the sound of waves.
A short 8 NM journey northwest will take you to the island and the municipality of Sant'Antioco. The island is the second largest island of the Sardinian region, right after Sardinia. Spend some time exploring this fishing town's rich history and delicious cuisine.
When you feel ready, sail 7 NM towards Capo Sperone on the south of the island. A bit isolated and secluded, it will be perfect for spending a calm afternoon on the beach and in the clear blue sea, and to enjoy a nice view from the hill. Anchor here and spend the night under clear skies.
Around 20 NM to the east from Capo Sperone is Capo Malfatano. In the middle of the peninsula, you will see ruins of a tower. Climb the hill to get a breathtaking view of the Sardinian coastline. Go snorkeling in calm waters and have lunch before going to the Chia Beach located 3-4 NM to the east. Lounge and sunbathe on the long sandy beach and drink cold beverages in a beach club. Anchor here and have a lovely dinner in a town of Chia.
In case you want to take another swim, there is a nearby beach in Santa Margherita di Pula on your way to Cagliari, which is 20 NM to the north. Explore the city by visiting tombs Domus de Janas, Tuvixeddu necropolis, the Roman amphitheatre and the well-preserved old medieval town on top of a hill. Go shopping and make sure to conclude your trip with Italian cuisine: fish, risotto, pasta, vegetables and olive oil.
Check-out. If your flight is later in the day, feel free to spend more time in the city. When you are ready, take a ride to the airport and travel home safely.
Arrive to Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport and head to the Port of Olbia. After check-in, charter a yacht in the afternoon and head to the pristine island of Tavolara (around 8 NM east of the city) while having a beautiful view of the Olbia's bay. Spend the night moored in a marina eating delicious Italian seafood and watching steep island cliffs.
The water around Tavolara is popular for diving, so make sure you do it in the morning. Those prone to walking can take a guided walking tour to the peak of the island which grants you an amazing 360-degrees view of the surroundings.
Spalmatore di Terra, a tourist area of Tavolara, has small restaurants to have lunch at after which you will head to the island of Caprera, around 22 NM away. Anchor at one of the bays (Cala Coticcio or Cala Portese) and spend the night.
Caprera was named after an Italian word for a goat (capra) because of the numerous wild goats living on it. In the morning, take a swim and sunbathe on Spiaggia del Relitto, a beautiful beach with turquoise water that will leave you breathless. In the middle of the island there is a memorial of one of Italy's "fathers of the fatherland" - Giuseppe Garibaldi.
After lunch on your yacht, continue to relax on one of more secluded beaches - Cala Napoletana, Cala Serena, Cala Andreani or Spiaggia di Cala Coticcio. You will, then, sail towards Bonifacio on Corsica, but be careful of occasional strong winds in the strait between Sardinia and Corsica. Dine in one of Mediterranean restaurants (La Bodega Bonifacio, Trattoria L' Archivolto or Les Quatre Vents) with great local food.
Bonifacio, a harbor naturally protected from winds with surrounding hills, is around 25 NM northwest from Caprera. Take a walk through the town streets, sit for a coffee on sunny cafés' terraces and have fish for lunch. Climb the hills to the Tower of Sant'Amanza and the Tower of Sponsaglia to get a magnificent view of both land and sea, climb down the famous Stairway of the King of Aragon, or get some tan on La Tonnara Beach.
In the late afternoon, head to the island of Budelli where you will spend the night anchored on the yacht.
The Budelli Island is around 11 NM southeast of Bonifacio. This preserved natural habitat, a part of the La Maddalena National Park, is perfect for spending your free time lounging on one of the most beautiful Mediterranean sandy beaches - Spiaggia Rosa. Both sand and the beach got their names from smashed pink coral.
After lunch, sail towards Cala Gavetta, the main port of the island of Maddalena, located around 6 NM from the island of Budelli. Visit Archipelago di La Maddalena National Park and renowned beaches Spalmatore and Bassa Trinita. There are a lot of recreational facilities and attractions, from old authentic buildings to luxurious hotels. Have dinner in a restaurant or a pizzeria, and spend the night in the port.
After morning coffee in town or on the yacht, head towards the island of Soffi located around 15 NM southeast. The island has crystal-clear water and soft white sand, perfect for another day spent soaking up the sun on the beach. When you had enough, Portisco is only 3 NM away. It is a natural harbor town sheltered from the Mediterranean currents and winds, and equipped with all marina facilities.
Spend some time shopping for souvenirs and local delicacies. Enjoy your last night in relaxed atmosphere having pasta or fish for dinner with a glass of quality Italian wine.
It is time to take a 15 NM long trip and come back to your starting destination - Olbia. After a check-out, you can visit its colorful historic centre and see a romanesque former cathedral of San Simplicio and a National Archaeology Museum, or do some more shopping in lovely boutiques. Finish your journey having lunch one of trattorias eating traditional Italian specialities. Take a ride to the airport and travel home safely.

Day Group Ltd handles over three million tonnes of construction material each year, as well as providing services to the construction, demolition and water treatment industries.
Day Aggregates, Day Contracting and Day Equestrian are amongst the divisions that make up the Group.
The original company, Day & Sons Ltd, was established by the late John Day, who delivered coal to London's power stations, businesses and homes during the Second World War. The company was incorporated in 1947. By 1955 the Company had outgrown its site in Hanworth and moved to a British Rail Goods Yard at Brentford where its Headquarters is still based today.
In 1974 this railhead enabled limestone to be railed into London, for the first time on a regular basis, directly from Foster Yeoman's Torr Works quarry in Somerset. This, together with the demise of coal for power stations, businesses and homes shaped the future of Day Group. Over the subsequent years further railheads and wharves have been acquired throughout South London, Surrey, Sussex and Kent, giving the Company unparalleled coverage of its marketing area.
Since the 1960's Day Contracting has been providing services to the construction, demolition and water treatment industries throughout the United Kingdom.
In 1997, together with partners from within the ready mixed concrete industry, the Company established London Concrete Ltd. Now owned by Holcim, it has rapidly grown into one of the major suppliers of concrete in the London area but, with plants in several of Day Aggregates' depots and close management and sales ties, London Concrete remains an important customer and a close partner.
2005 saw further investment with the purchase of CJ Burgess, Rother Cartage (South East) Ltd, and DJ Christmas Ltd. These family-run businesses, based in Sussex, offered an ideal opportunity to fulfil the Group's ambitions for an increased presence in the bagging of materials, in bulk haulage and in supplying the builders' merchant trade.
In 2011 the Group's heavy goods vehicle fleet expanded further with the purchase of Lavers Transport Ltd, based near Sevenoaks in Kent.
In 2013 Day Group expanded its aggregates bagging business with the acquisition of Aggregate Supplies operations at Acton in West London, Southampton and Warmwell in Dorset along with the supply of materials from two other operations in Bristol and Gravesend, Kent. This acquisition made Day Group one of the top four bagged aggregates suppliers in the UK.
Acquisition of Sand and Aggregates Limited's Merchanting business in December 2013 further enhanced the Day Group product offering and service provision.
This division was formed in 2012, providing construction materials and expert services specifically targeted at the Equestrian sector.
Day Group's activities reflect environmental concerns over the use of landfill sites and quarries and the associated transport. To that end, major investments have been made in state of the art recycling plants, railheads and wharves. The philosophy of meeting society's need for construction materials in a responsible manner, whilst maintaining a traditionally high quality of service, inspires confidence that the Company will continue to thrive as an independent business.

Atlus announced five Nintendo DS titles on its Japanese website today. Atlus praised the Nintendo DS for the flexibility two screens allows. As an example, the press release explains how a game can display a close up of a character while still showing the game field in their role playing game. Yes, that's right, Atlus is working on a RPG for the Nintendo DS. Here are the five announced games with their tentative titles (machine translated) and genres.
Shin Megami Tensei DS – RPG
Snowboard Kids DS – Action Race
Kadoukeusu – Action
Life Game DS – Board Game
Choro Q DS – Customize Action Race
Cult N64 fans will surely recognize Snowboard Kids, and others might recognize the Choro Q franchise from the 2002 GameCube game. All of Atlus's DS release dates and prices are officially undecided.

More Than 120 Games in Development Worldwide for Nintendo's New Game Platform
July 28, 2004 - In preparation for the launch of Nintendo DS(TM) in North America and Japan later this year and Europe in Q1 2005, Nintendo today announces major global developments for the innovative dual-screen, wireless, hand-held video game system.
Nintendo DS, originally chosen as the code name, has been selected as the official product name. The Nintendo DS name evokes the idea of a portable system with "dual screens," providing the rationale for the final name. The hardware also has been redesigned to sport a slimmer, sharper look. The retooled Nintendo DS features a thinner, black base and an angular platinum flip-top cover. The face buttons and shoulder buttons are larger, and some have been reconfigured for optimum use. The unit includes a new storage slot for the touch screen's stylus, and the speakers now broadcast in stereo sound, with or without headphones.
"The Nintendo DS will change the future of hand-held gaming," says Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo Co., Ltd. "Dual screens, chat functions, a touch screen, wireless capabilities, voice recognition - these abilities surpass anything attempted before, and consumers will benefit from the creativity and innovation the new features bring to the world of video games."
Software companies worldwide have more than 120 Nintendo DS games in development. Nintendo alone is developing more than 20 titles, and in excess of 100 companies have signed on to create games for the new system.
"The innovative functions make Nintendo DS a superior game device, while the chat feature and ability to detect other DS units make it a social device as well," says Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing. "We've figured out the magic of what makes portable game play so attractive to consumers. We've defeated nine challengers and once again we're prepared to win."
Nintendo will announce the launch date, price and game lineup for Nintendo DS at a later date.

I expected great support from Atlus, they've put out some of my favorite gba games, and five titles announced already is great. I always wanted to play Snowboard Kids back in N64 days, and the same for Choro Q which I've wanted to try since I saw pics of the PS 1 game in Japanese previews.

Way to support greatness!

This is awesome, I hope Snowboard kids is more than just a port with some superfluous second screen functions thrown in though. It's odd to see Snowboard Kids returning on DS of all places.
How about a snowboard game where you do tricks by manipulating a 2D snowboard on the touchscreen? Might not work so well, but I love thinking up this kind of stuff.

Snowboard Kids was underated. It was a really cool game that was overshadowed by 1080... a bit of a pity, really. Snowboard Kids was always a little quirky, I'd be interested to see what Atlus could do with it on the DS.

Theatre Review: Dernier Cri
Saturday night I was fortunate enough to see Dernier Cri, Third Cloud from the Left's latest production. I went into this almost completely blind; all I knew about the show was that it was about fashion and it was being performed in a private home. Excited by the underground feel, (literally, as it turns out. The performance space is in the basement.) I put on an ascot and headed into the cloudy world of high stakes fashion.
I don't know if I made a good case for reviving the ascot as a fashionable accessory, but I certainly enjoyed an interesting night.
We began by finding the house. This was helped along by encountering other people who were well-dressed and looking vaguely lost. We were greeted in the foyer by the mightily overworked Esperanza Torres (expertly played by Carol Walker) and spent the next fifteen minutes sipping wine and mingling in what felt to me like a strange cross between a dinner party and a LARP. I really don't know how much of the little pre-show bits were scripted and how much were just improvised, but we were already getting a feel for the characters well before we descended to the theater proper.
Dernier Cri is a very intimate show, and heavily character driven. I'm not going to bother with a plot summary; this play relies on the depth of the characters, and the sense of intimacy it creates with them to carry the audience along. I could easily imagine myself complaining that nothing happened had this been produced with less care and skill, because so much of the action is inside the characters' heads.
But we get inside those heads. We feel the strength and vulnerability of these characters, their ambitions, their machinations, their insecurities. We get to know these people and that makes the small story feel big. All the little moments become important because this show makes a very successful effort to get us to care about these characters.
I'll share my favorite part with you. There's a scene where Silvio Quilombo (Carlos Barrera) is explaining his vision to the models. There's low, rhythmic music adding a quiet intensity as he poses them one at a time with his cane, telling a little story to go with each pose. It's quite possibly the most beautiful live art I've ever seen, and the final touch, the little cherry on top, is when Silvio, who has been carefully using only his cane to adjust the positions of the models, reaches out with his hand to take Aimer's. Aimer (Jean-Paul Jones) had earlier made it clear that he generally dislikes being touched, and watching his face flicker through emotions, beginning with shock and ending with warmth, is the perfect capstone to this scene.
Dernier Cri runs every Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the next two weeks, until the Twelfth. At $65 tickets are fairly pricey, but that's somewhat offset by food and wine, and you have an excellent chance to mingle with the cast and crew afterwards. Once the show proper ended we returned to the main floor of the house for a lovely buffet dinner, and most of the company joined us once they'd scrubbed their faces and changed their clothes. There was so much more than just the show itself that I feel simply calling it a play undersells the evening a bit.
If you like creative independent musical theatre, fashion, and intimate stories, and if you can afford the ticket price, I highly recommend this experience. Tickets are $65 per seat and can be purchased here.
Third Cloud from the Left is doing some very interesting, creative things, and while I probably won't be able to see Dernier Cri again, I'm definitely looking forward to what else they have to offer.

Rafa Benitez reveals 'majority' of Newcastle players want him to stay - but a couple probably don't
Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez faced the media on Friday afternoon - but could not provide a firm update on his future
Rafa Benitez insists talks over his future are still on-going with Newcastle United - but he admits the "majority" of his Magpies squad would like him to stay on as manager.
The Spaniard's representatives have been discussing a potential contract extension for Benitez with managing director Lee Charnley for almost three weeks, given that the United boss has just 12 months left on his current deal.
As well as negotiating a potential extension, other topics being discussed with the club are the transfer budget which will be made available this summer, and also whether Newcastle's ambitions match those of their manager.

But, despite the talks having advanced into their third week, Benitez has been unable to provide a positive update publicly - even though he already has plans in place for pre-season and the 2018/19 campaign.
"We have pre-season organised, which starts in July, but no news on the other things," Benitez replied when asked for an update on his future during his pre-Chelsea Press conference.
"I think still we will have another conversation this week with the club and we will see where we are. We cannot give too much details on the discussions, other than we are still talking, but still no news.
"No [time is not being wasted], but everyone has to do their job. My job is to be sure that the players are focused for the last game, and that we can do well, I will enjoy the moment, and then my people they have to talk with Lee Charnley and see how they progress.

Rafa Benitez explains why Newcastle United fans should be 'over the moon' with the Magpies' season
"But I am just concentrating on trying to do well against Chelsea, which will be a tough game."
Pushed as to whether he will still be Newcastle manager next season, given that he still has 12 months left on his current deal, Benitez would not commit.
Instead, he offered a cryptic message which implied talks needed to develop further before he could give such a reassurance to supporters.
He added: "Maybe you know my answer. If, and it's an 'if', we have no news, we keep talking and I have to concentrate on Chelsea."
In recent weeks, key members of Benitez's squad - including Jonjo Shelvey , Matt Ritchie, DeAndre Yedlin, and captain Jamaal Lascelles - have stressed publicly that it is crucial United convince their manager to remain long term.
And, though Benitez believes a few fringe players who are struggling for gametime may be pleased to see the back of him were he to depart this summer, the Spaniard believes the vast majority of his squad want him to continue.
Though the players have not said so in as many words to Benitez, their reaction on the training ground to his methods, and their achievements on the pitch this season, have convinced the Spaniard they hold that view.

"Maybe tomorrow, if the players want to play on Sunday, they will say something," Benitez joked with a smile, before giving a serious answer on whether his players had told him they want him to say.
"The players, they are professionals and they are training well. That is the main thing for me as a manager.
"It's not what the players say that tells me, it's what they do. What they did this season has been fantastic, so I am really pleased with them.
"Obviously in every job, everyone wants to know who is their manager or their boss, and then work from there.
"So it's normal that the players want to know but also at the same time you are talking about 24 players, plus more on loan, so not everyone will say: 'Oh, Rafa, he has to stay.' Maybe another one will say: 'Oh, I would like another manager to come, then I will have a chance.'
"That is football, but the majority of the players, normally they are happy and they will be happy if we can carry on."
