You shouldn't assume, just because your commercial metal roof is leaking, that you should replace your roof. Metal Roof Restoration may be a great solution for you.
We can get your metal roof back to almost new with our unique commercial metal roof restoration system. Our system is affordable and sets the standard for quality in our industry. When we repair and seal all the possible leak and stressed seam points, our technically advanced coatings raise the bar and assure your roof is solid. Even in extreme weather elements, the features of our coatings will help your roof retain its curb appeal and color, making it your top choice. With almost endless options – different colors, cool roof possibilities, bright white and top energy star rated materials – all covered by our system and material guaranties.
Instead of replacing your commercial metal roof, choose to restore it instead!. Over time, every metal roof will eventually decay and fail. The two biggest points where your metal roof will more than likely fail is at the seams and fasteners.
The process for metal roof restoration and metal roof repair are somewhat similar. With restoration, you waterproof the entire roof instead of just the various points that need repair. Repair can be a good option if you're on a very tight budget, but it would be smart to assess all of your roofs issues, as a restoration could save you a lot of money over time. We can also provide temporary repairs, if needed and if your budget won't allow a full restoration, until you can make room in your budget for the full blown process.
With a metal roof, the fasteners will be exposed to the elements, so every single screw has the possibility of failing and causing leaks. They have rubber washers underneath that are supposed to seal out any moisture. But water will get into your building as these washers inevitably decay and deteriorate through time.
Also, as metal roofing is installed in sheets, the edge of each of them are a possible problem area. If you're in a heavy wind area, or any area prone to high wind storms, water will blow up and in between the seams. When the panels are installed, there's a sealant thats placed between the sheets. But, just like the washers under the screws, this sealant will inevitably fail and also allow moisture into your property.
So, if your metal roof is showing signs of rust and leaking in spots, you might think a replacement is in order. You'll be glad to know that it isn't necessarily the case. Our metal roof restoration process will solve your issue and make your roof like new. One other important point however, is the commercial roofing contractor you choose to do the work. you need one that has the experience and materials to do the job right.
1 – The roof coating that is currently on your roof amy have been inferior and subject to premature decay. Silicone products are superior and more durable than acrylic ones. They don't degrade as easily, don't fade or chalk, aren't easily washed off and doesn't need as much reinforcement. It's a great product to use for metal roof restoration, much better than acrylic based materials.
2 – Environmental compatability is another major feature of silicone products. They have less of an environmental impact due to their longer lifespans and lower VOC. You should always check any claims that advertised energy star approved products with other materials for accurate comparison.
3 – It might be a great time to improve your property's insulation. The impact on your building's interior can be positively influenced by using silicone spray foam on its exterior – namely your roof.
4 – You'll also want to compare different silicone products to one another. Metal roofing systems are not all built equally. With our unique metal roof restoration process, we use the highest quality materials and adhesion methods possible and are constantly looking to improve our processes and the materials we use.
Here at Taurus Elite Commercial Roof Systems, 512-332-4422, we provide commercial metal roofing services to Austin, Texas and the surrounding area. This includes commercial metal roof repair, commercial metal roof restoration and commercial metal roof installation. We have been providing professional commercial roofing services to the area for over 20 years. To discuss your metal roof restoration options, give us a call.

After today, the future is focus

An Arkansas football helmet sits on the ground prior to a game between the Razorbacks and Kentucky on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019, in Lexington, Ky.
With the conclusion of a third straight losing season for the Arkansas football program, Razorback fans can turn their full attention to the next coach and a different narrative around 5 p.m. this afternoon.
Obviously, some fans did so after the 31-24 home loss to San Jose State on Sept. 21 and others when Western Kentucky ended Chad Morris' short run as the coach with a 45-19 blowout on Nov. 9.
That's what happens to a fan base when their team has won only eight of their last 33 games and has become a laughingstock around the country.
I was in Nashville and Denver the past two weekends and heard unsolicited comments about the Razorbacks, even on the bye week and especially in the second half of No. 1 LSU's 56-20 beat-down of Arkansas.
You may have bristled or been offended by LSU coach Ed Orgeron's comment after the game on Saturday, but it's true.
"No, that's right — there was going to be nothing too much of a celebration for beating Arkansas," Orgeron said. "They haven't beaten anybody in a long time, so we were supposed to win that football game and on to Texas A&M."
The SEC losing streak is up to 18 and the only conference win in the past three seasons was over Ole Miss, 38-37, on Sept 28, 2017.
How bad is it? A Missouri team that has lost five straight games is a 13-point favorite over Arkansas in Little Rock today.
Razorback interim coach Barry Lunney Jr., is the only assistant coach who has been around for the last three years.
"Our charge beginning in the locker room after the LSU game has been to play our best football game on Friday against Missouri," Lunney said. "It's been a tough three years for this program and the fans. My vision as the acting head coach and a former Razorback is to put aside the last three years and unite for 3.5 hours and have moment as a state.
"It hasn't gone the way we wanted it to go, but we have another opportunity to rally together and unite our fans and football team to create an atmosphere and result we're proud of."
Obviously, the next guy up has a tough challenge ahead of him. In addition to not having enough talent on the current roster, he will be playing catch-up in recruiting.
Eight of the 14 commits Arkansas had in its 2020 recruiting class when Morris was fired have reopened their recruiting.
What will that list look like when the early signing period rolls around on Dec. 18-20?
It is the second time in three years, the same number of years that the early signing period has been around, that the Razorback football program will be playing catch-up.
The Razorbacks are currently ranked 116th nationally in the 24/7 composite rankings.
Not only is that last in the 14-team SEC, but behind teams such as Rutgers, Charlotte, Rice, Texas San-Antonio, Liberty, Kent State, Louisiana Tech and Western Michigan.
Arkansas State is 96th in those same rankings.
It's hard to get out of the bottom of the SEC, with four teams in the top 10 nationally this week, if you are facing challenges such as that.
The new Razorback coach will open the 2020 season with a home game against Nevada, which has a win over a Top 25 team this season, and then a road game at Notre Dame.
A win over Missouri would sure help those in the program for the next 10 months.

Yachstmen back up to second but Norwich United slip
Swaffham's Sam Carter keeping an advancing FC Clacton attacker in check Picture: Eddie Deane - Credit: Archant
Wroxham took advantage of poor weather conditions elsewhere to move back into second place in the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division.
The Yachtsmen were 3-0 winners at Whitton United while Woodbridge, second in the morning, saw their game at Godmanchester called off because of a waterlogged pitch.
It means Wroxham are 13 points behind Stowmarket, who won 3-0 at Kirkley & Pakefield, but with three games in hand.
Wroxham started on the front foot at Whitton and went ahead on two minutes, courtesy of a close-range effort from Ryan Miles.
Although dominating the half Wroxham failed to add to their total before the break.
The second period was a continuation of the first as the Yachtsmen sought to add a second, which duly came in the 52nd minute from a trademark Grant Holt back-post header.
Although Whitton came more into the match as the half progressed the match was sealed 10 minutes from time when a fierce strike rebounded off the home 'keeper onto a defender and into the net.
It was a hardworking performance and although the Yachtsmen never looked in any real danger the margin of victory could have been greater had chances created been tucked away.
Norwich United slipped to fifth after going down 2-1 at Newmarket Town. Liam Jackson had equalised for United on 28 minutes, but the city side were undone by a late goal with just seven minutes remaining.
Swaffham Town went down 3-1 at home to FC Clacton, Joe Jackson scoring for the Pedlars.
There was more bad news for Gorleston, who went down 1-0 at home to Long Melford and are now bottom of the table, following Walsham-le-Willows' 1-1 home draw with Mildenhall.
But Thetford Town's revival continues - the Brecklanders won 3-2 at Hadleigh United, despite going behind early in the second half. Jonny Conroy levelled six minutes later. The hosts retook the lead on 61 minutes, but this time it lasted only three minutes, with Tanner Call levelling it before heading home the winner in the 89th minute.
Anglian Combination
It's all change at the top of the Premier Division.
Harleston Town are the new leaders after a 6-0 thumping of visiting St Andrews - while morning leaders Norwich Ceyms slipped to third after they were held 2-2 at resurgent Acle.
Lawrence Cheese helped himself to a hat-trick against the league's bottom club, with Mark Pierce, Scott Roberts and Sam Borrer also on target for Harleston.
Waveney moved into second spot after a 2-0 win at Bradenham Wanderers - Bradley Hough scored for the visitors, who also benefited from an own goal by Luke Goble.
Goals from Ben Amery and Goss Well earned Mundford all three points at Hellesdon. Mundford are fourth, behind Ceyms on goal difference. Hellesdon's goal was scored by Connor Charlesworth.
Acle made it four league matches unbeaten against Ceyms, thanks to goals from Damion Cooper and Aaron Bullent. Ceyms' goals came from Matthew Adcock and Ali Zandi.
Mattishall remain fifth, after goals from Josh McCann and Tiago Pascale gave them a 2-0 win at Blofield United.
Caister drew 3-3 away to UEA. Lee Roots, with two, and George Holden were on target for Caister, with the UEA goals coming from Luke Young, Henry Clarke and Chris Chukwuka.
Ben Norton-Hugman and Harry Rollinson scored the goals which earned Scole United a 2-0 home win over Long Stratton.
Beccles Town came out on top in a seven-goal thriller at Wroxham Reserves, winning 4-3. Two goals from Luke Bailey plus efforts from Ryan Newman and Jordan Boyd gave Beccles the points. Wroxham's goals were from Joe Muskett, Daegan Watts and an own goal.
In the First Division, leaders Wymondham won the big derby clash against second-placed Attleborough Town 3-2.
Bryn Mullen (2) and Aarom kay scored for Wymondham, with Danny Caimish getting both goals for the visitors, who are now four points behind, with a game in hand. Third-placed Yelverton failed to take advantage, losing 5-1 at Thetford Rovers, where Joao Moura scored a hat-trick, with Steven Davies and Robbie Malloy also on target.

Parties Terminate CBM Before They Settle Dispute to Avoid PTAB Decision
In January of 2013, EZ Shield , Inc sued Harland Clarke Corp. for infringement of U.S. Pat. 8,346,637. The '637 patent relates to a system for reimbursement of consumers for losses incurred for specific forms of check fraud. In April of that year Harland Clarke filed a petition for covered business method patent review (CBM2013-00016). In July, EZ Shield (the Patent Owner) filed its Preliminary Response. The Preliminary Response details how Harland Clarke (Petitioner) was allegedly a former licensee of the patent and a customer of EZ Shield for more than two years. The Preliminary Response alleges that Harland Clarke breached its agreement and offered a competing product for sale. EZ Shield even included a table detailing the alleged patent infringement by Harland Clarke's competing product.
Apparently, the parties were discussing settlement and by late September they decided to contact the Board to discuss the possibility of having it delay its decision on institution of the CBM petition. On September 27, 2013, the parties conducted a telephone conference call with the Board to discuss the possibility of delaying or suspending the issuance of the Board's decision on whether to institute review. On September 30, 2013, the Board denied the joint request to delay or suspend, citing its need to provide a just, speedy and inexpensive resolution of every proceeding (37 C.F.R. § 42.1(b).) The Board did authorize the parties to file a joint motion to terminate the proceeding with a true copy of the parties' settlement agreement in connection with the termination of the proceeding as required by 35 U.S.C. § 327(b) and 37 C.F.R. § 42.74(b).
On October 4, 2013, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate with a copy of their Settlement Agreement (Exhibit 2016) under which the parties agreed to terminate the CBM without prejudice to Harland Clarke "in the event that the Parties are unable thereafter to negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement of [the litigation]." The Board granted the motion on October 7, 2013, and terminated the CBM.
Of course, now that the CBM is terminated we will never know if the Board would have instituted trial or not based on the documents of record. The Settlement Agreement states that the parties have not yet settled their dispute and that the District Court agreed to stay the litigation until November 22, 2013, so it will be interesting to see whether the parties settle by then. Obviously, settlement must be imminent or Harland Clarke would not have agreed to termination of the CBM, since it will cost at least another 6 months and an additional PTO filing fee to re-file the CBM should things not work out. Regardless, this matter demonstrates one advantage of AIA patent trials which allow for early termination by joint motion of the parties, as opposed to reexamination which does not offer that feature.

Gernot Rohr (born 28 June 1953) is a German professional football manager and former player. He is currently the manager of the Nigerian national team.
For the third time on the bounce, Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr masterminded qualification for a major tournament with at least one game to spare; this time, the Super Eagles achieved their target with two games in hand but still the German is in the market for respect from Nigerian football fans, media, and pundits.

Nigeria have a long and proud association with the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The most successful side in the history of the tournament, the Nigerians have been crowned champions five times (in 1985, 1993, 2007, 2013 and 2015) and have lost in the final on three other occasions (in 1987, 2001 and 2009).

Former Nigeria striker and coach Daniel Amokachi has named former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel as the greatest Nigerian player ever. Mikel enjoyed a successful international career with the Super Eagles before his retirement last July.
This is (hypothetically, not definitely) partially due to the laziness of EA employees and partially due a lack of interest among FIFA players to use African teams. I would say the latter is more prevalent; rarely anyone plays as an African team during international matches.
Nigeria's campaign in the 2014 FIFA World Cup opened with a disappointing 0–0 draw against Iran. Four days later the team played their second game against Bosnia and Herzegovina. A controversial 29th-minute Peter Odemwingie goal gave Nigeria their first World Cup win since 1998.

The time to hesitate is through
by Graham Bickler
A joint Labour Party and Socialist Medical Association conference on Labour health policies was held on Saturday October 18th 1980 in Central Hall, Westminster, with nearly four hundred delegates attending from all over the country. The morning session was addressed by Stan Orme MP, opposition spokesman on health and social security, and Cyril Taylor, president of the SMA. In the afternoon delegates were split into four groups to discuss prevention, reorganisation and democracy in the NHS, NHS financing, and the personal social services. At the end of the session there was time for summaries of the small groups and a wider discussion. Cyril Taylor's editorial on the front page continues some of the areas he touched on in his speech, while a summary of the day's conclusions should be appearing in the next issue of Socialism and Health.
In order to see the ways in which a future Labour government might start to tackle the overwhelming problems of health and health care, Alison Hadley and Graham Bickler interviewed Stan Orme during the conference. The article beneath is a compilation of that interview and his opening speech — "Labour and the future of the National Health Service."
We began by asking Mr Orme what he saw as the health priorities of a future Labour government. Against a backcloth of cuts in services, made by the Tory government he considered there to be three main areas in which Labour energies should be concentrated.
First, the commitment to restore a free health service, fully financed by taxation, and he hoped to see, "within the lifetime of that Labour government, the phasing out of all charges."
Secondly Mr Orme was concerned with the allocation of resources. "The 2% growth rate which the previous government had endorsed and which is now being cut by this government is not sufficient and I would see as a minimum a 3% growth rate for the health service…..and we may find that 3% is not sufficient."
The third priority was prevention, with the focus on firm action against smoking, legislation for seat belts, alcohol and its attendant problems and the availability of abortion and family planning on the NHS.
Although Mr Orme listed these as the three main areas for action he mentioned the need for attention to democracy in the health service, our expansion in occupational health and for stricter measures to be taken with the drug industry.
A concern which ran through many of these topics and one which was discussed by everyone during the conference, was the power of the medical profession and the difficulties in involving them in socialist health policies. Mr Orme talked about the "mystical vote of clinical judgment" as a source of reaction amongst doctors. Never the less he felt that many could be won over by providing good pay and working conditions and in particular he was in favour of a salaried service for GPs in inner city areas. However, it was suggested that many doctors would continue to resist, and would escape into the private sector thereby perpetuating private medicine. When asked how a Labour government intended to deal with the private health field, Mr Orme felt the priority was "to put a fence around it," and to remove pay beds in their entirety from the NHS hospitals. The Labour movement must not be afraid of saying that it is "opposed to the principle of private medicine."
In the area of prevention Mr Orme had made several comments in his morning speech about the need for stronger action to be taken with the tobacco industry. As these had not been fully outlined, we asked him how he would see a future Labour government implementing policies that would significantly affect the tobacco industry, given that the government is so economically reliant on it. Did he think there would be something in the manifesto about this?
Mr Orme said he felt there should be something in the manifesto and said: "we have reached the stage now where we need legislation regarding advertising. . .I think sponsoring of sports has gone far too far."
He mentioned that the loss of revenue if smoking demand was reduced is no reason for not implementing policies to discourage smoking. In addition to this he wanted much more comprehensive education particularly with young people, as he felt they were particularly vulnerable to the images of virility and adulthood portrayed by the media and in advertisements. This "built in advantage" the tobacco industry had, should be stopped.
Given that the hazards of smoking have been widely known for a long time and that the educational approach to the problem has always been the one used, we felt the issue was whether things were going to be any different under the next Labour government.
In reply, Mr Orme said "I think we need to take a much- more aggressive approach" and went on to emphasize the necessity of fully educating the public on the health hazards of smoking and other preventable diseases. He felt that with proper explanations there would be a large measure of public support for action against smoking.
In response to the point that despite similar arguments when the Labour government was last in office no real change in the industry was made, Mr Orme agreed.
The Labour government had tried to come to a voluntary agreement with the tobacco industry, but he felt that now, "with the breathing space that we've got..…we must see what methods we can come up with."
We then asked Mr Orme that since the problem is an economic one, was the tobacco industry likely to be more amenable in the future and if so was it simply going to transfer its market to the third world?
Mr Orme agreed, but pointed out that some parts of the tobacco industry had already diversified and that he hoped by international rulings we could make progress. The time had come to move off the defensive, "I would like to see a section in the Labour manifesto on preventive medicine, spelling out some of these …. you can't just resolve it by legislation, you've got to win the arguments."
As we felt that the food industry is also important in its effects on health we asked Mr Orme to comment on the fact that despite the Health Education Councils' views on nutrition successive government had done nothing to legislate in accordance with these proposals.
Mr Orme replied that this was partly a class problem which had been made worse by the destruction of the school meal service. What knowledge there is of "health foods" mainly affects the middle classes. When we suggested that legislation on pricing in the bread industry might be an important contribution to healthier eating habits, Mr Orme said he was in favour of legislation in this area but would like to see it linked to a wider area of prevention. The time to hesitate is through.
While many if not all the points discussed above are true, we felt some concern.
Although it is important to pursue aggressive policies on cuts, to be committed to a free national health service and to oppose private medicine, it is the causes of ill health we must attack.
Until the Labour Party can produce their policies for legislation on the tobacco industry, the food industry, housing, transport and conditions of work to name a few influential areas, we will not begin to change the social inequalities or health highlighted by the Black Report.
« Aims of the Socialist Medical Association • Policy on Mental Health 1988 »
rotzeichen says:
Whilst in the 1980s smoking was a serious problem, fewer and fewer people smoke today than then.
It can't be emphasised enough, it is underfunding that is crippling the NHS and the so called preventative measures are not the overburdening problems it faces, but the deliberate dismantling and privatisation is.
The other factor that people simply choose to ignore, is the fact that our government can never run out of money, thereby have no problem whatever in funding our NHS or public services, it their deliberate Neo-Liberal policies that is behind it all.
They are deliberately underfunding all public services to enable them to claim the private sector is the best means of delivery, which is in fact a patent lie.

Women in Nuclear (WiN) has leant its support to a civil society campaign for nuclear energy to be recognised as a low-carbon option for fighting climate change.
At the organisation's global annual conference in Vienna last week, WiN president and vice president, Se-Moon Park and Dominique Moillot, put their names to a declaration asserting that every country should have access to the widest possible portfolio of low-carbon technologies - including nuclear power - in order to reduce emissions and meet energy goals.
WiN requested that the UNFCCC "recognise nuclear energy as a low-carbon energy option", in its protocols, and include it in its climate funding mechanisms, "as is the case for all other low-carbon energy sources". The organisation pledged to bring this to the attention of the conference to take place in Paris in December.
By pledging support for the Nuclear for Climate movement on behalf of its 25,000 members, WiN joined the European Nuclear Society Young Generation Network and 39 other associations of nuclear scientists, engineers and professionals, including the French Nuclear Energy Society which leads the campaign. WiN's global membership means that individual nuclear experts from more than 102 countries are now in support of Nuclear for Climate.

Latham & Watkins Advises Initial Purchasers in Copa Holdings' Convertible Note Financing
Multi-disciplinary deal team advised on the Latin America-based airline's equity-linked capital raise.
Latham & Watkins represented the initial purchasers in connection with the offering of US$350 million of 4.5% convertible senior notes due 2025 by Copa Holdings, S.A., a leading Latin American provider of passenger and cargo services through its subsidiaries Copa Airlines and Copa Airlines Colombia. Copa Airlines operates flights to North, Central and South America from its strategically-located hub in Tocumen International Airport in Panama City, which is known as the Hub of the Americas.
Latham harnessed a multidisciplinary team from its market-leading Latin America, Capital Markets, Tax, and Derivatives Practices. The New York-based deal team was led by partners Greg Rodgers, Benjamin Cohen and Roderick Branch, with associates Sandy Kugbei, Regan Devers, Andrew Blumenthal, and Ryan Gold. Tax partner Elena Romanova, with associate Seung Hyun Yang, advised on tax matters, and Corporate partner Catherine Lee, with associate Jack Neff, advised on derivatives-related matters.
The offering was the first convertible note financing by a Latin American issuer in more than twelve months, continuing Latham's record of innovation in the global debt and equity capital markets, which in Latin America has included advising on the world's first social bond offering by a sovereign issuer, the first SPAC IPO in the region and the first energy IPO in Mexico. Since January 1, 2020, Latham has represented issuers and underwriters in more than 25 convertible note financings that raised more than US$10 billion in proceeds.

Pokémon Go a year later: Are you still playing?
Posted on July 17, 2017 by Armand in PCU Zeitgeist // 0 Comments
Last year Pokémon Go took the mobile world by storm. With nearly a million downloads on day one and making $160 million dollars in the first month, Pokémon Go is one of the most successful mobile games ever. We all remember the hype and news that came out over the game; people who were accidentally getting hit by cars, allegedly finding bodies, or trespassing onto properties just to catch elusive Pokémon. Also, who could forget the many places that chose either to have points of interest removed or added to the game and how it boosted some small businesses. The best part was that this game easily brought dozens of people together to not only exercise but socialize while trying to catch them all. The insanity of it all was that during its first month, the game was buggy, crashed frequently and had a lot of barebones features, but there was no denying the allure. However, now that's been a year, how is the game holding up?
Speaking for myself, I kept the game on my devices until maybe October. While I did enjoy the allure of the game, it was only the most fun if I was in a downtown area as that was where the largest variety of Pokémon could be found and I did not always have time to play. There was however, a bit of fun going to a comic convention and seeing others play as there was always a huge chance of catching something new. I recently reinstalled the game and I have been giving it a whirl to see what's new but I think the Super Mario Go game has my attention a bit more.
What did others have to say about the game a year later? Here are their thoughts below:
Jonathan Y.: No, I stopped playing at level 24, months ago.
Trent F.: No longer even installed. I enjoyed collecting them, but the combat mechanics are garbage. There wasn't anything engaging to do with them once you had them. They need to do a combat revamp to get me back.
Carrie A.: Still playing every day! Team Instinct!
David J.: I play a little bit, but mostly when they have events like May's Ground Event or last months Fire and Ice Event.
Lea S.: I still avidly play everyday! I am addicted toPokémon Go. Even more fun when I travel out of the US for work. I have caught Pokémon in Spain, Japan, Guam, and Hawaii. I am on my way to Florida this week so I am hoping to get something out of the norm from the DC area in Jacksonville.
Brook H.: I still play. At the minimum, I still get my daily stop and catch in. I usually do a few more stops or catches throughout the day. On good days, I'll walk around Ellicott City, hitting a dozen stops, catching a couple dozen Pokemon, and maybe participating in a Raid. If I go some place new/tourist-y like a museum, the zoo, a new downtown, my phone is out and I'm hitting all the stops and making catches.
Bronte C.: I still play because it's a never ending competition thing I have with my husband.
Marvin T.: I still play but it's usually if never been to that specific area before.
Manuel R.: I played for a couple weeks when it was first released. But I quickly realized how quickly the data charges rack up. So, I quit but my kids still play occasionally.
Jennifer R: I still play every day! I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes last summer and I've found the game to be a HUGE help in ensuring I get at LEAST one walk a day (usually more), especially since they added the accumulating bonuses for catching a Pokemon and hitting a Pokéstop.
Terri D.: I played when it first came out, then I stopped for a while, and came back as strong as ever when the new set of monsters came out. I finally have a Gyrados, mostly because my current hour walk gets done around a lake.
Amanda G.: I still play more days than not. Like a number of the other folks here, I hit a few stops on the way to/from work to do the daily thing. Also if I'm traveling in areas different than my usual routes I play. I don't get a lot of gym action in my daily routine, so new areas are cool for that. I like trying to find new ones or special versions. I certainly don't play enough to have caught versions of them all yet. It did start to get tedious after a while following the initial release. But then they started doing the special events and upgrades, and it keeps the game more interesting now.
As you can see, many people have various reasons as to why they either play or not. Where are you when it comes to playing? Are you a lapsed player or still hardcore? Let us know in the comments below.

Antigònia fou una ciutat de Síria a la riba de l'Orontes, en l'actual província de Hatay, a Turquia

Fundada per Antígon el borni, rei de l'Imperi Selèucida l'any 307 aC, estava destinada a ser la capital del seu imperi. Antígon va morir el 301 aC a la batalla d'Ipsos i els habitants de la ciutat van ser traslladats a Antioquia, que va fundar el guanyador Seleuc I Nicàtor no gaire lluny, baixant el riu Orontes, segons diuen Estrabó, Diodor de Sicília i Joan Malales. La ciutat però encara va existir durant tres segles més.

This wreck diving photo was taken by Gutsy Tuason in Busuanga, Palawan. Acknowledged as the wreck diving capital of the country, Busuanga offers over a dozen sites to fit individual skill levels. For the newbie diver, there's a submarine hunter in the Lusong Island Wreck to explore. Advanced divers can try the Irako, Olympia Maru, among other wrecks of the Japanese fleet mostly sunk in 1944. The wrecks, sunk for over half a century, have become a coral reef habitat, teeming with marine life.

Despite the gloomy headlines, demand for tech skills is strong
Rose Thomas December 29, 2022 5 min read
Q: Despite the headlines, does the balance still favor tech professionals overall? Does demand for skills remain strong?
Q: What types of technology skills are now the most critical to employers, especially in a rocky economy?
Q: What types of companies have and will continue to have the strongest demand?
Q: What initiatives or actions should technology professionals take to demonstrate their value to their businesses and keep advancing in their careers?
Q: Should professionals consider entrepreneurial opportunities? Please provide any advice for launching or joining a startup.
Morsa Images/Getty Images
There's been no shortage of reports of layoffs from tech companies and slowdowns in startup funding. One estimate puts tech layoffs at about 90,000 jobs cut in 2022 — at least within the tech industry itself.
This may suggest tougher times ahead for technology professionals, but that's not necessarily the case. Rather, the hiring market for technology talent remains robust, and demand keeps growing for technology professionals who can fuse business requirements with tech savvy.
That's the word from Jeff Williams, vice president of enterprise and HR solutions for Paychex, providing his perspective on what's ahead for the technology talent market in the year ahead.
Williams: "Technology skills will always remain crucial for businesses, regardless of the changing macro-economic environment. We are in a unique moment where, despite talks of an economic downturn, the hiring market is still hot, and employee retention remains a priority for many businesses. Though the scales may tip yet, it's important to note demand remains strong for tech professionals as we enter an increasingly digitalized world.
"Legacy IT jobs relied on the management of infrastructure and long, expensive capital upgrade cycles. Today, with so much infrastructure in the cloud, it's more about getting business requirements and configurations correct than managing physical components of IT systems.
Also: How to nail the 'Do you have any questions for me?' part of the interview
"What mattered yesterday for tech professionals doesn't necessarily matter tomorrow. Yesterday, it was about the blinking lights, making sure the hardware worked, and asking for money to upgrade. Now the cloud provider can handle the infrastructure, and tech professionals are focused on the efficiency of their month-to-month operations while doing more to ensure a positive business performance."
Williams: "Over the past few years, I've seen the demand for network and cybersecurity professionals explode. Additionally, software development that automates manual or inefficient processes is welcomed by businesses as they tighten belts. Today, we need people who can translate business speak to IT speak and vice versa. People who can hear business issues and then translate those to technological solutions is a rare skill."
"In 2023 and beyond, small and midsized businesses will need to hone their digital presence in order to successfully grow and attract talent. As a result, countless companies, regardless of sector, have discovered a need for investment in IT infrastructure and automation of the client experience. That includes retail, service-based organizations, and health care. For those companies looking to drive efficiency through robotic process automation, the need for tech professionals only increases."
Williams: "As businesses continue to adapt to technology, technology professionals with business acumen remain extremely sought after. For instance, a tech professional who demonstrates how costs could be offset through IT activities instead of simply outlining costs of a project is more likely to be hired or retained in the event of downsizing activity. Furthermore, tech professionals can often see around corners and understand where the industry is going before others in the organization can. Develop the ability to clearly communicate and speak the language of business leaders and investors to position yourself as a business driver and an indispensable asset.
Also: The future of finance belongs to open source
"Be a student of your firm. Know the income statement, the balance sheet, your competition, and your operating environment. Go to places that differentiate you, your knowledge, and your upside. To build a bridge to more senior positions, you must demonstrate an understanding of the business you're in and the role technology plays. The people who understand their operating environment and technology's place in it tend to get noticed."
Williams: "As we see tech giants downsize, laid-off employees often take the leap to start their own businesses. And that is not as risky as it sounds: Businesses often find it more appealing to outsource certain functions to a third-party, which brings a tremendous opportunity for tech professionals to be successful entrepreneurs.
"But a start-up cannot last on ideas and opportunity alone. Hopeful entrepreneurs should question their motives. Before starting a business, you should ask yourself: 'What problem am I here to solve?' 'What need does my business fill?' 'Can I defend what I'm building to friends and relatives?' Everyone loves the story of the entrepreneur, but really focus on how you can create something of value in a very crowded market.
"Entrepreneurs also need to assess talent needs: To create a rock-solid business plan, you must first realistically analyze your own strengths and weaknesses. From there, identify strong talent to fill the key gaps. Who's going to sell the product? How will you raise money? Who will communicate the value to the marketplace?
"Educate yourself on relevant regulations. A stable business is a compliant business. With growing nuances — and, sometimes, contradictions — across local, state, and federal regulations, it is important to research and plan for various scenarios. This includes not only limiting factors and controls but also uncovering grant, funding, procurement, and revenue opportunities that are available to you."

This week features counting, completing tasks through cards and a master swordsman's journey.
- Would you like to shake up your background image a little but don't want to spend your time searching for ideas? How about ones you can create randomly and choose?
- Tapete offers some ideas for background images using geometric shapes, colours and other symbols.
- You can decide what you want first before you hit the generate button and if you don't like it, you can keep tapping until you get something you're happy with.
- You're not going to create works of art but instead you'll get some bright and cheerful backgrounds instead. Navigation is also simple as well so you're not left confused.
- For those who want a quick and colourful change to their phone's background.
- Ok so paying a fiver for an app based around reminders would probably make you roll your eyes but bear with us here.
- Doo is all about cards, think similar to Google Now and you get the idea, and making sure you get your tasks done.
- Once you've added in your tasks, telling it you've completed them is done through swipes. If you swipe down, you can snooze a task but if a task is too big, it will offer ways to break it down into smaller, more manageable chunks.
- It's pretty simple to use and the style does make things more approachable. It's easy to set up and flick through tasks when you need to.
- If you're in dire need of an app to help you get things done, this may be worth a shot.
- An app based around tracking and counting everything manually can be useful, especially if it doesn't fall into a neat category.
- Countism lets you, well, count anything you want and develop graphs around it.
- The interface is pretty standard although you don't need anything fancy in this case. It doesn't need to be anything else since it's focused on one thing.
- If you need it, you can do negative counting and export it to CSV if you want to throw it onto a spreadsheet.
- For those who have a number of different things to keep track of and are trying to develop new habits.
- Maybe you come up with ideas regularly but forget to write them down. If that's the case, how about an app that's listening out for what you say (in a good way).
- Rewind passively records you and your surroundings by running in the background continuously.
- When you have a segment that you want to save, you can do so by going into the app or by widget.
- The only thing to keep in mind is this is an app that relies heavily on RAM, the recording is saved on it, and battery so if you're low on either, you may have problems.
- Handy for those who aren't able to jot down notes on the fly.
- Remember Fruit Ninja? Imagine that with a more serious setting and more purpose behind your swipes you have The Swords.
- You play the role of a master swordsman who has flashbacks of memories. It's everything but a mindless swiping game though.
- Instead of you swiping to slice enemies, you must deal with representations of opponents. One will see you tracing calligraphy, another sees you swiping blades before the hit the edge of the screen and one has you tracing a path through gates.
- The different tasks keeps things fresh and the art style, using traditional Japanese art, means it's easy on the eye.
- A bit short, but the difficulty means you won't blast through this quickly.


The purpose of this study was to improve parent involvement in the school as a result of an increase in school to home communication through the Parent Network.
In order to identify barriers to parent involvement in the school, both parents and teachers were surveyed. The parent survey, written in English and Spanish, was designed to ascertain their attitudes toward the school. The responses of sixty-six parents were analyzed. It was found that although a majority of the parents had a positive attitude toward the school, most felt that they did not have skills that could be helpful. Fifty-five teachers responded to a questionnaire regarding their attitudes toward parent involvement in the school. It was found that, contrary to parents' beliefs, teachers believed not only that parent involvement in the school was important, but also that parents had skills that could be beneficial to the school.
Three barriers to school to home communication were revealed: 1) a poor in-house system of distribution; 2) student failure to take flyers home; 3) parents' failure to keep promises to attend school activities. Although there was an increase in the number of parent volunteers, findings were inconclusive regarding the effectiveness of the Parent Network as a means of improving parent involvement in the school.

New on Blu-ray and DVD for July 23, 2019
John Connor [Celluloid 07.23.19] cyberpunk scifi horror dystopic
This masterly adaptation of George Orwell's chilling parable about totalitarian oppression gives harrowing cinematic expression to the book's bleak prophetic vision.
In a rubble-strewn surveillance state where an endless overseas war props up the repressive regime of the all-seeing Big Brother, and all dissent is promptly squashed, a profoundly alienated citizen, Winston Smith (thrillingly played by John Hurt), risks everything for an illicit affair with the rebellious Julia (Suzanna Hamilton) in a defiant assertion of humanity in the face of soul-crushing conformity.
Through vividly grim production design and expressionistically desaturated cinematography by Roger Deakins, Michael Radford's 1984 conjures a dystopian vision of postwar Britain as fascistic nightmare—a world all too recognizable as our own.
DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • New 4K digital restoration, supervised by cinematographer Roger Deakins, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack • New interviews with director Michael Radford and cinematographer Roger Deakins • New interview with David Ryan, author of George Orwell on Screen • Behind-the-scenes footage • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by writer and performer A. L. Kennedy
From visionary filmmakers James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez comes ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL, an epic adventure of hope and empowerment.
When Alita (Rosa Salazar) awakens in a future world she does not recognize, she is taken in by a compassionate doctor (Christoph Waltz) who realizes that somewhere in this abandoned cyborg shell is the heart and soul of a young woman with an extraordinary past.
Hellboy is back, and he's on fire. From the pages of Mike Mignola's seminal work, this action packed story sees the legendary half-demon superhero (David Harbour, "Stranger Things") called to the English countryside to battle a trio of rampaging giants.
There he discovers The Blood Queen, Nimue (Milla Jovovich, Resident Evil series), a resurrected ancient sorceress thirsting to avenge a past betrayal. Suddenly caught in a clash between the supernatural and the human, Hellboy is now hell-bent on stopping Nimue without triggering the end of the world. Hellboy also features Ian McShane (John Wick), Daniel Dae Kim ("Hawaii Five-0" and "Lost"), and Sasha Lane (American Honey).
If you can t get a date... make one!
After proving himself the king of heartfelt teen flicks with Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club, writer-director John Hughes infused the genre with a hefty dose of wacked-out sci-fi comedy in Weird Science, a film where every teenage boy s wildest fantasies come to life.
Perenially picked-on high school nerds Gary (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles) and Wyatt (Ilan Mitchell-Smith) are sick of their status at the bottom of the social food chain. Using Wyatt s computer, the two hatch a plan to create their dream woman and following a massive power surge, that woman unexpectedly appears in the form of Lisa (Kelly LeBrock). Gorgeous, intelligent, and blessed with limitless magic powers, Lisa makes the boys dreams come true... but what about Wyatt s gun-toting psycho older brother Chet (Bill Paxton), and the two bullies (Robert Downey Jr and Vamp s Robert Rusler) determined to put them back in their place?
Inspired by EC Comics and boosted by a killer soundtrack (including the classic title theme by Oingo Boingo), Weird Science has never looked better than in this new special edition, including an exclusive extended version of the film featuring deleted scenes never released on home video before.

«Me muelen a palos» es una canción del grupo de rock chileno Los Bunkers, compuesta por la pareja de hermanos compositores Mauricio y Francisco Durán. Pertenece al álbum Barrio Estación, el cuarto de la banda, siendo su pista n.o 2.

Fue lanzado como sencillo en julio de 2008, recibiendo buenas críticas tanto en Chile como en México, llegando al puesto n.o 14 en Chile y n.o 6 en las listas aztecas, además del puesto n.o 1 en las listas de radio en México.

Información

La canción tiene a Francisco Durán como cantante principal. Ya había sido presentada en vivo en 2007, en el último tramo de la gira de Vida de perros y en palabras de Francisco, la letra "habla de los problemas más mundanos que se le pueden presentar a un ser humano. El descontento al salir a trabajar, el descontento de lo cotidiano, de levantarse todas las mañanas".

Asimismo él señaló que la letra estuvo en parte influenciada por la crisis del Transantiago, al ver las imágenes de caos e indignación generalizada en la capital chilena.

Musicalmente recuerda a bandas como Stone Roses, con solos de slide y también sintetizadores que le dan una leve reminiscencia de los ochenta. Francis confesó que éste es uno de sus temas favoritas del Barrio Estación.

Contenido y recepción

La canción fue presentada como el segundo sencillo del álbum en julio de 2008, luego del también exitoso sencillo «Deudas», lanzado 4 meses antes. «Me muelen a palos» logró un mayor éxito comercial que «Deudas» tanto en Chile como en México, siendo la más escuchada en el país norteamericano y llegando al lugar 14 en Chile. Además, el álbum Barrio Estación llegó al puesto n.o 5.

Expanded Guide to Epilepsy Books for People of All Ages | August 31, 2014
When I decided to begin an epilepsy library for reference, I was absolutely overwhelmed by the millions of books out there.
So, I went to Amazon, rolled the dice and ended up spending needless money on a lot of duds.
Don't get me wrong, some were of value, but most were a waste of time.
So, to save you from my disappointing experience, I've combed the web, epilepsy foundations, blogs and wherever else I could think of, to find books that would actually inform, explain and even sometimes, entertain.
I hope you'll find something of use on this list, which is truly a labor of love…
EPILEPSY BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
My Mommy Has Epilepsy — By Stacey Chillemi
As a mother of three and a woman with epilepsy, Chillemi is realistic about her limitations, "Having epilepsy and being a mom is difficult at times because I worry that if I have a seizure and I am unable to recover fast enough, that my kids will suffer," said Chillemi. In fact, the entire time Chillemi has been a mother she has had only one tonic-clonic seizure resulting in serious injury. According to Chillemi, she was walking the dog with her children when she felt a seizure coming on.
She immediately instructed the children to go inside and wait downstairs for her. Following the seizure, Chillemi realized she had suffered a head injury and reached out to a neighbor for help. After the tonic-clonic seizure Chillemi decided to write a children's book, called "My Mommy Has Epilepsy".
Her goal was to help children understand epilepsy in an age appropriate way as well as to help dispel some of the fear she had witnessed her own children experience. "I don't want my children to get nervous or to worry about my seizures and the tonic-clonic seizure really motivated me to write a children's book to help them and other kids cope and understand epilepsy."
Chillemi cautions women with epilepsy to monitor their stress level. "Don't try to accomplish too much. Do as much as you can and remember to set realistic goals and to reward yourself each day." She also believes that in order to live with epilepsy and maintain a positive attitude it is important to focus on one's self.
She advises women with epilepsy to educate themselves about their epilepsy and believes knowledge helps alleviate stress as well. $11.95 at http://www.amazon.com/
Mommy, I Feel Funny! A Child's Experience with Epilepsy — Danielle M. Rocheford (Author), Chris Herrick (Illustrator)
Based on a true story, this book introduces the reader to Nel, a little girl who is diagnosed with epilepsy. The story takes you through the days following Nel's first seizure. Suddenly, Nel and her family are faced with thoughts, fears and emotions that come with the discovery, understanding and acceptance of epilepsy.
Through simple but thorough explanations, we learn what Nel experiences when she has a seizure, visits her doctor and has testing done. Every child with epilepsy and parent of a child with epilepsy should hear this story. $12.95 at http://www.amazon.com/
Dottie the Dalmatian has Epilepsy (ages 2 to 6) — By Tim Peters & Company
A delightful illustrated story for young children. Dotty the Dalmatian discovers she has epilepsy. At first she feels embarrassed and afraid, but she learns to accept and control her seizures and goes back to her important job of helping the firefighters save lives. A large colorful poster accompanies the book. $4.70 Used at http://www.amazon.com/
Lee the Rabbit with Epilepsy (ages 3 to 6) — By Deborah M. Moss (Author), Carol Schwartz (Illustrator)

Seized — by Eve LaPlante
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most widespread form of epilepsy among adults, yet TLE seizures are not easily recognized, unlike the far better known convulsions of grand mal epilepsy. In this major study, freelance journalist LaPlante, who interviewed scores of patients and doctors, explores a disease that may affect between one and two million Americans. Some TLE sufferers perform automatic or violent acts; others exhibit hyper-religiosity or altered sexuality. LaPlante reviews the ordeals of Dostoevsky, van Gogh, Lewis Carroll and other luminaries thought to have suffered TLE.
She also graphically profiles three ordinary TLE patients — Charlie, a lawyer minimally affected by the disease; Jill, a personnel director whose confidence has been shattered by her seizures; and Gloria, a retired hairdresser. If TLE often gets misdiagnosed as schizophrenia or mood disorder, as LaPlante suggests, the implications for psychiatry are staggering. .$18 from http://www.amazon.com/
Epilepsy a New Approach — By Adrienne Richard & Joel Reiter
Richard, who has controlled her seizures without drugs for 15 years, and Reiter, a neurologist, combine the most recent medical updates with information on self-help alternatives, and discuss diagnosis, treatment options, behavioral methodologies, and more.

Why don't you tell us a little bit about your book, Don?
I love the saying: "We are all cars and some of us just have faulty electrical systems."

Hello, Would you consider looking at, 'Sometimes My Mommy Has Seizures'? It's a children's book. Look forward to hearing from you.

It's a truly wonderful book. And I thank you for bringing everyone's attention to it!
Comment by Phylis Feiner Johnson — June 20, 2015 @ 2:07 PM
another ways to know about epilepsy is taking classes, talking to your doctor. I don,t read much, but you have good classes.
Comment by michele metzger — May 11, 2016 @ 5:35 PM
Education is first and foremost. That's what these books seek to do.
Comment by Phylis Feiner Johnson — May 11, 2016 @ 6:12 PM
This is a Wonderful list Phylis! In fact one of the books was written by a Pediatric Neurologist, Dr. John M. Pellock MD, who I used to go to, decades ago. Sometimes I've wondered about writing a book of my own, kind of like a story about someone dealing with the physical and social aspects of Epilepsy, by using my own case.
Comment by David Jensen — November 23, 2018 @ 10:29 PM
I think there's something catharthic about writing the story of your own journey. Whether you publish, self publish it or not.
Comment by Phylis Feiner Johnson — November 24, 2018 @ 9:08 AM
This is a great collection of resources Phylis. I had sourced Amazon in the same way. I purchased a number of books, but for me, Seized by Eve LaPlante was a life changer. Sharing this forward. Thank you
Comment by vhealing — May 25, 2019 @ 8:44 PM
I loved "Seized", too.
You might be interested in "A Great Place for a Seizure".
Terry Tracy's "A Great Place for a Seizure" http://www.amazon.com/Great-Place-Seizure-Terry-Tracy/dp/1453834702/ref=tmm_pap_title_0 is a novel with an engaging balance of humor, insight and sensitivity, drawing the reader into a tale that travels three continents over thirty years, exploring the power of the individual and the choices we make that decide who we are.
You'll find it hard to put down.
Comment by Phylis Feiner Johnson — May 25, 2019 @ 10:46 PM
The graphic novel Mis(h)Dara by Iasmin Omar ATA is a wild ride through grand mal seizures.
There's also the novel The Thing with Feathers, which I haven't read but have heard it's excellent. Author is McCall Hoyle.
Since the original reading list was compiled in 2014, we could contribute our more recent faves. (But Steven Schachter rules!)
Comment by HoDo — April 8, 2020 @ 8:12 AM
You bet Steven Schacter rules. I have just about all of his books.
And I was honored to be included in his new book about epilepsy advocates.
How he found me, I don't know. 🙂
Comment by Phylis Feiner Johnson — April 8, 2020 @ 10:32 AM
He asked everyone he knew what the best epilepsy website was and we all said, Yours.
Comment by HoDo — April 8, 2020 @ 10:45 AM
Almost forgot: The Spiral Staircase by Karen Armstrong, an engrossing and well-written account of adult diagnosis of epilepsy by a writer known for her religious scholarship.

The Year It All Ended by Kirsty Murray
HOW DID YOU GET STARTED?
I'd dreamt of writing professionally from when I was a teenager but it wasn't until I was in my early thirties that I realized I had to prioritise writing if I was ever going to finish anything. I gravitated towards writing for younger readers because I had a household full of children and teenagers. I came into publishing through a back door by first writing nonfiction. Allen & Unwin published my first three non-fiction titles for younger readers which led them to encourage me to cross over into fiction. My first novel, Zarconi's Magic Flying Fish, was published in 1999 and won the WA Premier's Book Award in 2000.
WHAT IS YOUR LATEST BOOK OR CURRENT PROJECT?
Last year I completed two projects simultaneously. The Year It All Ended is a YA novel set in 1919 and traces the lives of four teenage sisters in the aftermath of WW1. It required years of research and a journey through the cemeteries of northern France. I also edited and contributed to an anthology of YA speculative fiction, Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean. Luckily, I had two co-editors working with me – Anita Roy and Payal Dhar. Anita and Payal are both Indian authors and the anthology contains the work of 10 Australian and 10 Indian writers and illustrators – all women – who collaborated to produce the stories included in the book. It was a totally groundbreaking cross-cultural publication that was released in India in November last year and in Australia in February 2015 and I'm incredibly proud of it.
Eat the Sky, Drink the Ocean Edited by Kirsty Murray, Payal Dhar and Anita Roy
WHAT IS YOUR WORK ENVIRONMENT LIKE?
I have an office in my back garden, though I often work in libraries, particularly the State Library of Victoria. I love being surrounded by books as I write.
WHEN DO YOU WORK? WHAT DOES A TYPICAL DAY LOOK LIKE?
At the moment, there is no such thing as a typical day. When my kids were younger, I used to start work the minute they left for school around 8.30 am and then knock off as they came tramping in the back door around 4.00 pm. Now that they've all left home, I tend to allow the working day to sprawl from 8.00 am to early evening, though I don't seem to get any more done. I almost never work after dinner. I spend several months of every year travelling both inside Australia and overseas, which often involves a lot of public speaking engagements. I try and contain those events to stop them encroaching on my writing but frustratingly, creative time is too often taken up with administration. I'm trying to be more assertive this year about turning off internet access and giving myself over to the dozens of creative projects I want to complete. I also like to spend one day every week working in a library, preferably the SLV.
WHAT IS YOUR WRITING PROCESS?
I do a lot of research prior to writing. Much of my work is historical fiction but every story benefits from clear thinking about background and setting so I always try and gather material related to the stories' content before I write. I generally do around four drafts of any work – whether it's a short story or a novel.
WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?
I've loved words and stories since I was a child. At first, it was love of story that drew me into writing. The more books I wrote, the more I became aware of the way stories are used to define culture and history. These days I'm drawn to the silences in Australian history and culture – the stories and the people who are overlooked, particularly women and children.
WHO OR WHAT INSPIRES YOU?
I find the world inspiring. Every person you meet provides material for characters. Finding inspiration is the least of my problems as a writer. Observing people and their responses to the world around them triggers ideas for stories every day. I have more story outlines drafted out than I'll ever be able to write.
WHAT IS THE HARDEST PART OF WHAT YOU DO?
Sitting down. Sitting for hours on end is bad for your body and mind and particularly hard on your hips and neck. I've tried working standing up to write but it only seems to work for short pieces. I love falling into the page as the words flow which is a headspace that generally requires sitting for far too long.
WHAT DO YOU WISH YOU HAD KNOWN WHEN YOU STARTED?
That sitting was incredibly bad for the body.
WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE FEMALE AUTHORS?
There are too many great female authors to choose from and I love many diverse authors that write for different ages and readerships including: Margaret Atwood, Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche, Annie Zaidi, Jane Gardam, Maureen McCarthy, Ruby J. Murray, Annie Barrows, Charlotte Wood, E. Nesbit, Wendy Orr, Elena Ferrante, Leonie Norrington, Ursula Dubosarksy, Deborah Ellis, Urusula Le Guin, Henry Handel Richardson – the list is endless.
Thank you, Kirsty Murray!
