Is it time to spike the leaders?
Roy Greenslade
@GreensladeR
Sun 7 Nov 2004 21.30 EST First published on Sun 7 Nov 2004 21.30 EST
What is the point of leading articles in modern newspapers? Few people read them. Few people quote them. Few people, surely, are influenced by them. With the rise of the columnist class, editorials have become almost meaningless.
The slabs of grey type go largely unread, despite the best efforts of the unsung men and women who labour so long to compose them.
Readers of the Daily Telegraph are more likely to know what Boris Johnson writes on any given subject than what their paper thinks about it. The Guardian's readers are exercised more by the thoughts of Polly Toynbee and Jonathan Freedland than they are by the paper's anonymous editorial scribes. Indeed, there is a widespread confusion between what a paper says and what its best-known columnists say, and this applies to the US as well as Britain.
When I told a class of students recently that most major American newspapers broadly supported the Iraq war (some with misgivings), they responded by quoting what columnists said, not the leading articles.
It is significant that the New York Times receives more letters and emails about op-ed page articles (those written by named writers) than about its editorials. That may not be true at the Guardian. Its letters editor reports that he does receive "quite a lot of mail" about editorials, though - unlike the NYT - no log is kept to provide a comparison with the columnists.
Editors like to regard leader pages as the intellectual heart of their newspapers and lavish more attention on them than other sections that are probably read by more people. They would contend that editorials reinforce the public interest ethic of journalism, provide a platform for a reasoned contribution to public debate and remind readers of the (supposed) separation between fact and comment.
None of that could be said so sincerely by the editors of the popular tabloids, red-top or middle market. Their leaders are a waste of space because they merely echo the partisan line obvious from the slanted angles in news stories and headlines. For example, when it was announced last month that British troops were to be redeployed, nominally under American command in Iraq, there was no difference between the stories and the leaders.
The Daily Express leader called it "nothing short of a scandal", but readers knew what the paper thought anyway because the story, with a double-page headline "From today, you're fighting for Bush", had adopted such a strong anti-war angle.
By contrast, the pro-war Sun headlined the same story: "We are allies ... we need to finish this job." Having read that, what was the point of a leader that also argued that "our boys" will be fine under US leadership?
Similar correlations between leaders and stories were evident in that day's Daily Mirror and Daily Mail. Indeed, this is not even a matter of controversy, nor is it new. The popular press has always carried biased reports, conveying to its readers through its news pages what its views are. In such circumstances, leaders are otiose.
So why go on publishing them? There are three overlapping reasons: they are window-dressing, suggesting that a popular tabloid is no different from the serious press; they are a fig-leaf, implying - despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary - that there is a distinction between news and comment; they imbue the editor with political and social status, giving him or her the opportunity to send messages to the great and the good.
That said, I have a hunch that a greater proportion of Sun readers read their paper's leaders than do those of the Times. Sun editorials are short, punchy and often funny. Times leaders, though well-written and, if you have time to stick with them, entertaining, are often wishy-washy.
But more Sun readers surely read Richard Littlejohn and Jane Moore than "the Sun says". Similarly, more Times readers pore over pieces by Simon Jenkins, Libby Purves and Matthew Parris than ever finish a Times leading article.
Editorials can be defended in symbolic terms because there is an undoubted merit in unread copy. People may never glance at them but they like to know they are there. But the amount of time and effort required to satisfy this whim is surely disproportionate to the benefit achieved.
Oh yes, and leaders cost money. I understand that the new Daily Telegraph regime was astonished by the size of the leading-writing staff. Could that be the first editorial cut at Canada Square?
Confessional foul
As a former Sun assistant editor and Daily Mirror editor, I have witnessed many a tabloid wheeze. But the trick played by the Sun last week on Stan Collymore surely plumbed new depths.
The former footballer was conned into signing a personal confession of his sins that had, in fact, been fabricated by the paper. While signing copies of his autobiography at a book store, he was approached by a "Sun girl" who, having pretended to be a fan, asked for his autograph.
He duly signed the proffered piece of paper, unaware that on the reverse was a typed statement in which he supposedly admitted being "a lying scumbag who beats up women" and a braggart.
Yet this fakery was given a front-page headline, "I lied", and the inside spread, showing off the full bogus confession, was presented as genuine. Casual readers would have believed it was true unless they read down to the fifth paragraph in which the paper made a confession of its own: its reporters had hoaxed Collymore. No wonder he has complained to the Press Complaints Commission.
Regardless of whether the commission concludes that there was a breach of its code, it was a manifestly stupid and childish exercise. Readers who thought it was real could well have cause to complain themselves on the grounds of accuracy. Those who did read enough to understand it was all a hoax would surely have wondered why such a lame and demeaning "joke" merited half the front page and two pages inside.
The Sun's nonsense came two days after a Daily Mirror story in which Collymore claimed to have been attacked by six rugby union players in a Dublin street because one of them allegedly made a racist remark to him. A front page picture of his battered and bruised face showed that he had certainly been in a scrap, but the Sun took the side of the rugby squad by reporting that it was a drunken Col lymore who had thrown the first punch under the unjust headline, "Colly Moron".
I realised immediately what was happening. Collymore and the rugby six were just cannon fodder in the latest battle of the red-tops with each paper taking a militant stance, for or against, on events about which neither had definitive proof. There is no semblance of fairness in such reporting.
I concede that Collymore's track record is far from unblemished and he is certainly not a sympathetic character, but there can be no doubt that he was badly beaten. Dublin police are clearly taking it seriously, having called Collymore back from England for an interview. Yet the Sun overlooked that development, claiming instead that the rugby player Collymore has accused of insulting him was threatening to sue for libel.
It is a mucky saga which reflects once again just how far popular papers have drifted from mainstream journalism.
Cashing in their chips
There are some stories that require no comment beyond simply reporting them, and here are three such examples.
For a starting price of £8,000, eBay last week offered bidders the chance to "own a piece of history" by buying a picture showing the "unforgettable moment" when Prince Harry "lost his cool in a scuffle with the paparazzi".
The generous supplier of this "signed limited edition" of a "framed print" was, of course, a paparazzo - Charlie Pycraft. No blushing violet, Mr P introduced himself to bidders as a radio and TV personality.
The Daily Mail did have reason to blush last week. The fearsome fighter against the government's sinful extension of casinos across Britain felt it necessary to remove an item from its website - a link to an internet casino.
Finally, a straightforward statistic: all four serious national newspaper titles and the London Evening Standard reported increased sales on the day John Peel's death was announced.

How do I convert between candlepower and watts?
The conversions on this site require the use of JavaScript so please enable before continuing. For assistance in enabling JavaScript, please contact the webmaster.
Some light sources such as flashlights are rated in various different units, such as candlepower or watts. To be able to compare different types of light sources, it would be necessary to convert between these types of units.
The short answer is, you cannot. Unless the manufacturer already has calculated both candlepower and watts, you're pretty much out of luck. You could try searching review sites in addition to the manufactures site, in hopes of finding the information already calculated.
Different light sources could have the same power requirements, but vastly different light output. They are just not directly related enough.
For example, searching Amazon.com I found descriptions of two different 12,000 candlepower flashlights. One was listed as 3 watt and another listed as 1 watt.
Here are the definitions of some units:
One candlepower is the radiating power of a light with the intensity of one candle. This unit is considered obsolete as it was replaced by the candela in 1948, though it is still in common use. 1 candlepower is equal to about 0.981 candela. *
The standard unit for measuring the intensity of light. The candela is defined to be the luminous intensity of a light source producing single-frequency light at a frequency of 540 terahertz (THz) with a power of 1/683 watt per steradian, or 18.3988 milliwatts over a complete sphere centered at the light source. *
The standard unit for measuring the flux of a light being produced by a light source. One lumen represents the total flux of light emitted, equal to the intensity in candelas multiplied by the solid angle in steradians (1/(4·pi) of a sphere) into which the light is emitted. *

Sparkly Runner: Countdown to Princess Half Marathon Weekend!
TOMORROW, Jen from All Four Love Blog and I fly down to Orlando for Princess Half Marathon Weekend!
I can't believe it's finally here! Jen and I have been planning this trip for what feels like forever. This will be Jen's first runDisney race and I am so incredibly excited for her to experience all the magic of this weekend.
Me and Jen after her first half marathon- Divas DC in September 2014.
We are flying to Orlando on Friday and heading straight to the expo. The merchandise is so adorable this year and we are both hoping to score a pair of the new Ariel New Balance sneakers! After the expo, it will be an early bedtime- the buses start running at 3:30 am on Saturday for the 10k. We are running the Glass Slipper Challenge: 10k on Saturday, half marathon on Sunday.
I also can't wait for the We Run Social meet up Saturday afternoon. I'm hoping to finally meet up with some folks I "met" on the internet- and may win some cool Pro Compression socks! There will also be tons of other friends in WDW for the weekend and it will be awesome to reconnect with them.
This race weekend holds a special place in my heart- it was my very first half marathon back in 2012. I remember being insanely nervous at the beginning of the race and then by the end, I was wondering when I could sign up for the next one. It will be weird not having Matthew there this weekend- I blame him for getting me hooked on running and runDisney :-) - but it will be fun watching Jen run down Main Street USA for the first time. There is something just so magical about running through Walt Disney World and I hope this weekend will be just as wonderful as I remember!
There is NOTHING like crossing the finish line of your first half marathon.
Will you be at Princess Half Marathon Weekend? If so, let me know in the comments!


CHEBOYGAN -- The Purity Ring drama group will present the new musical, "Caddie Woodlawn, the Musical," at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 4-5, at the Cheboygan Opera House.
Written by Susan C. Hunter and Tom Shelton, this full-length adaptation of the children's novel by Carol Ryrie Brink was the recipient of the Landers Theatre National Playwriting Award. Purity Ring Drama Group, with licensing permission from Samuel French, Inc., will bring the new play to life with 37 home school students from four counties of Northern Michigan.
The story follows Caddie, the iconic, high-spirited Wisconsin pioneer girl beloved by generations of readers, as she leads her willing siblings in a series of adventures, not always with the approval of her traditional Bostonian mother. Her father, however, encourages her antics, that she might thrive amidst the new, tougher ways of the West. In a dramatic climax, Caddie single-handedly diffuses a potentially deadly clash between the terrified settlers and the local Dakota tribe through a daring and dangerous act. But her action only deepens her conflict with her mother. Ultimately, Caddie learns invaluable lessons about reconciling the head-strong child she's been, and the responsible adult she is soon to be. Through it all, the sacredness of tradition -- passed from one generation to the next -- is dramatized. As one wise friend tells Caddie: "Families: they're our link to forever, lass."
"(Caddie Woodlawn) speaks to our kids by saying family is important and being an individual that is different is just fine," said director Mickie Walker.
Tickets for the musical are $6 for students and $8 for adults. Seating can be reserved by calling (231) 627-5841 or (800) 357-9408.

Q: How to add Button to FeedListItem I want to add two buttons to a FeedListItem similar to the NotificationnListItem.
<List headerText="Feed Entries" items="{ path : '/userFeedBack', mode : 'OneWay' }">
    <FeedListItem sender="@{UserScreenname} ({UserName})"
        icon="{ProfileImgUrl}" senderPress=".navToUser"
        iconPress=".navToUser"
        iconDensityAware="false" info="{Type}"
        timestamp="{ path : 'Time', formatter : '.notificationListItemFormatted' }"
        text="{TweetText} ({Total} times)">
    </FeedListItem>
</List>

It should look like this. How can I these buttons or is there any other list control which I can use here?

A: For buttons, you will have to use different type of List Items. The FeedListItem does not support any aggregation. I would suggest the following options:

*

*sap.m.NotificationListItem

*sap.m.CustomListItem: Here, you will need to create a layout, where the image will come, where the text and the buttons will render.

*Create a custom control by Extending FeedListItem and add 'buttons' aggregation to it.

Let me know if you need more inputs.

A: XML Code :
<List id="notificationList" class="sapContrast sapContrastPlus">
                <NotificationListItem
                        description="Information of List Item 1"
                        showCloseButton="false"
                        datetime="1 hour"
                        unread="true"
                        press="onListItemPress"
                        authorName="Jean Doe"
                        authorPicture="sap-icon://globe">
                    <buttons>
                        <Button text="Accept" type="Accept" ></Button>
                        <Button text="Reject" type="Reject" class="sapUiLargeMarginEnd" ></Button>
                        <Button icon="sap-icon://thumb-up" class="sapUiLargeMarginBegin" ></Button>
                    </buttons>
                </NotificationListItem>
                <NotificationListItem
                        description="Information of List Item 2"
                        showCloseButton="false"
                        datetime="1 hour"
                        unread="true"

GradAustralia surveyed 13 graduates working at Orica. Read on to get an insider's view on life as a graduate. 13 responses.
The opportunity to travel to different mining sites around Australia.
The team I work with are awesome and the work I do is challenging.
It's very flexible and there are many benefits. There is a wide range of work so it never gets repetitive or boring.
Dealing with internal employees that do not understand the environment our customers are operating in.
Some managers are great mentors and provide excellent guidance, feedback and invest time developing you and your skills. Whereas some others think graduates are cheap labour and don't care too much about your development. Being thrown in the deep end with little support and guidance can be quite over whelming especially when everyone is too busy to step in and help you out a little or provide that guidance you need being new.
When I applied, there was an online application, then academic and emotional quizzes, a group interview and then an individual interview.
Be respectful, willing to learn and passionate about your development within the company. Get a friend to do a practice interview before the real thing, cover every question you can think of and get an idea of answers before going in.
Good bonus structure and midrange base salary.
Senior managers make a big effort to attend graduate conferences etc.
Too early to tell from experience but apparently possibilities are good.
Varies a lot depending on the office. Sites are all high vis work wear, product development sites are smart casual and high vis, head office is business pants and open neck shirt. Head office fronts onto a park which gives it the rare benefit of having plenty of natural light. Open plan desks at head office, individual rooms at other sites. Essentially, whatever type of office environment you're looking for you can find somewhere. Yet to see regular suit and tie wearing though.

JBC, Matt Stafford's Red Zone Passing, and Life Without Megatron
Posted By: Bryce Rossler June 19, 2016
After Jim Bob Cooter took over the reins of the Detroit offense following Joe Lombardi's ousting, Matt Stafford had arguably the best eight-game stretch of his career. During that span, in which the Lions went 6-2, he threw for 2,179 yards and had 19 TDs to just two INTs, all while posting a 70% completion rate and a QB rating of 110.1. His detractors are quick to point out that it was against weaker teams, and while that's true based on their records, four of the seven opponents he faced finished with defenses in the top seven in pass yardage allowed. Regardless of whether or not you believe that's meaningful, Stafford built a rapport with his new OC, going so far as to say that he and Cooter "see football the same way." When prompted on the subject, that's something that Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner certainly thought that was meaningful. "You always want to find a system and a coordinator or a coach that sees it like you do," he said.
The relationship and philosophy that Stafford and Cooter share spells good things for the Lions offense going into 2017. There's a caveat, however – the retirement of Calvin Johnson could throw a wrench into Cooter's plans. The question at hand is whether the departure of Megatron will offset the continued improvement that's expected after the team's strong finish. The answer, I believe, lies in Stafford's red zone numbers.
In 2015, Matt Stafford was one of the best red zone quarterbacks in the NFL. Inside the twenty, he went 48-for-73 for a league-best (minimum thirty attempts) completion rate of 65.75%. In addition, he had 26 TDs to zero INTs. His touchdown mark was good for third-best, behind just Tom Brady (30) and Carson Palmer (27), although his interception total was lower than that of either. Inside the ten, he was even more remarkable; he had an insane 75% completion rate on 27-for-36 passing, good for best in the league (minimum ten attempts). Make no mistake – this is a rare phenomenon. When offenses drive into the red zone, the playbook gets thinner, defenses tighten up, and passing windows get smaller. Stafford's percentage dipped a tad when initially entering the red zone, but skyrocketed once he got inside the ten. Check out his splits, and how he ranked in each category:
Matt Stafford in the Red Zone
Overall completion rate: 67.3% (#5)
Inside the 20-yard line: 65.75% (#1)
Inside the 10-yard line: 75.0% (#1)
Out of quarterbacks who qualified for both the top 32 in total passing attempts and the top 32 in red zone passing attempts (a total of 25 eligible quarterbacks, excluding Stafford), the average drop-off in accuracy from overall completion rate to red zone completion rate was 10.98%. Stafford's drop-off from his overall completion rate to his inside-the-20 rate was a mere 1.55%. He was even better inside the ten, though. Only three eligible quarterbacks had a better completion rate inside the ten than they did overall. Stafford improved inside the ten by a crazy 7.7%; the next highest was Andrew Luck, and he didn't even come close in either differential (+4.7%) or actual rate (60.0%). Meanwhile, the average drop-off for eligible quarterbacks in this area of the field was 12.17%. This means that Stafford was almost a full 20% more accurate than his peers inside the ten.
It seems natural to presume that Calvin Johnson had a lot to do with that red zone production, and to some extent, that's true. He accounted for seven of the 26 red zone TDs Stafford threw, but he had little statistical impact aside from that. Inside the twenty, he was targeted 18 times, 10 of which were completed (55.55%) for a total of 77 yards. The bulk of his production came from within the ten, where has was targeted eight times, snagging six (75%) for TDs. Without these throws to Calvin, Stafford's red zone completion rate would have actually improved to 69.1%, while his TD numbers would still be good for eighth-best.
What does any of this have to do with how the offense might look without Calvin Johnson, though? I'm glad you asked. Jim Bob Cooter's offensive scheme is predicated on spreading the ball around and getting it out quickly. Naturally, this means that the offense is limited in its verticality, because there's less time for routes to develop. We saw a lot of short and intermediate passing plays under Cooter, and that's a trend that will likely continue into 2016. Stafford's sheer dominance in the red zone bodes well for that trend, even following Johnson's retirement. In the red zone, particularly inside the ten yard line, you must be surgically precise. Defenders are packed closer together, and there's less room for error. The fact that Stafford is so accurate in such tight spaces will translate well in the offense this year. Marvin Jones, Golden Tate, and Theo Riddick have been dubbed 'the YAC Attack' by the fan base due to their abilities as playmakers. Tate and Riddick both ranked in the top ten in YAC in 2015, and Jones qualified for 29th best among receivers. As sure-handed as this trio is (98% collective catch rate), and as magical as they are after the catch, it'll be up to Stafford to lead them and put the ball in the best place for them to make things happen.

Many times when we talk to people there is an inherit fear about leaving traditional cable behind.
We completely understand this because we were the same way before we as individuals cut the cord.
For most people who are 25 years of age and older you have probably only ever watched TV one way for most of your life.
It has revolved around channels that probably show a few shows you like to watch at specific times.
15 years ago that meant using something like TV guide to keep track of when your shows were on and making sure you were home at the time your shows were broadcast.
Then came the advent of the PVR (Personal Video Recorder) in 1999, this allowed users to record the shows they wanted to watch when they weren't home and watch them later.
When we consult with potential clients we ask people to think about what shows you like to watch.
If you are taking the time to set the PVR to record a show on a daily or weekly basis then you probably are invested in watching that particular program.
There is a reason people want to get rid of cable, so the first thing you have to understand about the process of cutting the cord is that things will be very different and yet have a very familiar feeling.
It's hard for people to really name more than a handful of shows that they like to watch and that's what the cable companies like. First off many shows are seasonal meaning that they spend more time off the air than on the air.
"In North American television, a series is a connected set of television program episodes that run under the same title, possibly spanning many seasons. Since the late 1960s, this broadcast programming schedule typically includes between 20 and 26 episodes. (Before then, a regular television season could average out to at least 30 episodes.) Up until the 1980s, most (but certainly not all) new programs for the broadcast networks debuted in the "Fall Season", which ran from September through March and nominally contained from 24 to 26 episodes. These episodes were rebroadcast during the Spring (or Summer) Season, from April through August. Because of cable television and the Nielsen sweeps, the "fall" season now normally extends to May. Thus, a "full season" on a broadcast network now usually runs from September through May for at least 22 episodes.
A full season is sometimes split into two separate units with a hiatus around the end of the calendar year, such as the first season of Jericho on CBS. When this split occurs, the last half of the episodes sometimes are referred to with the letter B as in "The last nine episodes (of The Sopranos) will be part of what is being called either "Season 6, Part 2" or "Season 6B," or in "Futurama is splitting its seasons similar to how South Park does, doing half a season at a time, so this is season 6B for them." Since the 1990s, these shorter seasons also have been referred to as ".5" or half seasons, where the run of shows between September and December is labeled "Season X", and the second run between January and May labeled "Season X.5". Examples of this include the 2004 incarnation of Battlestar Galactica, ABC's FlashForward, and ABC Family's Make It or Break It.
There is a reason why we ask people to consider shows not channels. Channels are a flawed concept that are exclusive to traditional cable. For most people there really are only a few shows you watch on a particular channel at any given time.
Often there are channels that people tell us that they can't live without and for that we challenge you to answer why. Ask yourself why is that particular channel so important to you?
Do you like every show that the channel has?
Are you watching this channel non stop or do you like just having it on as background noise?
Do you really think those specific shows you like to watch are only available on that one channel and no where else?
This is where the psychology of cable comes into play.
There is no channel on cable that has more than 4-5 hours of original content on it within any given 24 hour period and most barely have that. News channels like CP24 simply just repeat the same news stories over and over again and while they are nice to have on for background noise there is no content that you can't get somewhere else in this day and age.
This is the first hurdle you want to get over in your brain. Why is cable so expensive? Because you are paying to access all of these channels all the time even though you probably don't use them all the time.
Again remember the shows you like to watch follow specific broadcast calendars, so if those shows you like to watch aren't showing new episodes for 8 months of the year then why are you paying for that channel 12 months of the year?
In our always on society people get the news from their phones, laptops, tablets throughout the day so by the time you get home to turn on your local 6pm news broadcast are you really surprised by any of the stories you see?
Your TV habits will evolve when you cut the cord, but the content you like to watch will still be there just in different delivery formats.
When you subscribe to a streaming service for a month the cost of each service can range from $5.00 - $25.00 but what you are paying for is access to their entire library of content for a month long period. You watch as much as you want and then you have the option to walk away.
These streaming services are just the next evolution of TV so if you are ready for your TV watching to evolve where you get to control what you pay each month then get in touch with us and we'll help you through the whole process.

Puerto Rico in plea for US recovery assistance
Puerto Rico is pushing for an "unprecedented" amount of funding and assistance from the US government to help it recover from the September hurricanes, an official has said.
The island state would need as much as $21bn in aid over the next two years to keep the government operating and cover the salaries of state employees, such as police and teachers, according to Natalie Jaresko, executive director of the federal control board responsible for overseeing the country's finances.
In a testimony prepared for the House Natural Resources committee on Tuesday, Jaresko said: "The hard truth is that the island now needs help – emergency and restoration funds and assistance on an unprecedented scale."
The devastation caused by the hurricanes has deepened the financial crisis the island was already facing. It has $74bn of debt and was at the centre of US's biggest public bankruptcy process.
"Before the hurricanes, the board was determined that Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities could achieve balanced budgets, work its way through its debt problems, and develop a sustainable economy without federal aid," Jaresko said.
"This is simply no longer possible."
Local authorities estimate that between $45bn and $95bn of damage has been caused by the storms. The country is currently revising its fiscal plans to account for the hurricane.
The US Congress has so far approved $4.9bn in low-interest loans for the island and the US Virgin Islands as part of a $36.5bn aid package.
The board has also estimated that the country's population could drop by 5% before the end of the year.
Jaresko said: "We know that Puerto Rico is experiencing a massive population exodus, but the exact amount of that exodus is unknowable."
The OECD's Development Assistance Committee changed its aid rules last week, extending eligibility to countries hitherto deemed to wealthy to receive aid in the event of a humanitarian crisis.

Cyberpunk 2077 approaches 20 million copies sold
Last Updated Date: April 16, 2022 - 00:53
CD Projekt RED isn't complaining about the results in sales. The developer has announced that the game has now sold over 18 million copies.
We don't need to tell anyone that Cyberpunk 2077 has a bumpy road. It was a serious matter even shortly after its release, as many players have asked for their money back due to the game's awful state, and Sony has temporarily withdrawn the game from the PlayStation Store.
All went well in the end and CD Projekt RED cannot complain about the result in sales. The developer has announced that the game has now sold over 18 million copies. Shortly after its release, the game sold 14 million copies, which means that in less than a year and a half, there will be an extra 4 million sales increase. Additionally, CD Projekt RED stated that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has sold more than 40 million copies, bringing the franchise's total number of copies to over 65 million.

Cyberpunk 2077 News


So, I wanted to do a bit more with my blog in 2019. Why not start with a look at the books and blogs that I've read over the past month. For the longest time, I've been seeing posts about The Sunday Post Meme and I'm finally going to join in! It's technically a weekly meme, but that feels a bit too much for me, but I'm taking it on as a monthly meme to join in. Well, that's the plan anyway, I may do more or less, we'll see. Find out more here at Caffeinated Book Reviewer to see details about how you can join!
I tossed away some old writing notebooks.
I reflected on my writing lessons for 2018 on the Women on Writing blog I contribute to.
I reviewed a book on renewing your spirit in times of job loss.
Read a beautiful children's book about Israel's bird migration.
Suggested some amazing things on Saturday night.
Learned a valuable lesson on writing recently.
Thanks to Amazon's prime benefit of getting one book a month for free, I downloaded True Places by Sonja Yoerg. It's definitely out of my usual reading tastes and I can't wait to see how things go. Check it out on Goodreads.
I joined two challenges for next year!
I am tempted to put all of my books that are sitting in my Goodreads reading list into a 2019 TBR List and read and blog about it next year. Is that too much to ask of myself (considering there are 350 books and growing) or possible? I anticipate there will be some I won't finish or won't read due to a variety of reasons. Could be a fun challenge though!
Thanks for sharing the challenges. I am always looking to find and share new ones!
The A-Z challenge is quite something to undertake.
Reading challenges are always fun. Good luck with yours!
I love comments! The good, the bad, and the ugly, so tell me what you have to say! And if you like what you read (or at least find yourself entertained), follow my blog to read more. Although I'm not always able to respond to comments immediately, I appreciate every one of them.

These regulations shall be known as the Fire Code of [NAME OF JURISDICTION], hereinafter referred to as "this code."
1. The hazard of fire and explosion arising from the storage, handling or use of structures, materials or devices.
2. Conditions hazardous to life, property or public welfare in the occupancy of structures or premises.
3. Fire hazards in the structure or on the premises from occupancy or operation.
4. Matters related to the construction, extension, repair, alteration or removal of fire suppression or alarm systems.
The purpose of this code is to establish the minimum requirements consistent with nationally recognized good practice for providing a reasonable level of life safety and property protection from the hazards of fire, explosion or dangerous conditions in new and existing buildings, structures and premises, and to provide a reasonable level of safety to fire fighters and emergency responders during emergency operations.
3. Existing structures, facilities and conditions where required in Chapter 11.
4. Existing structures, facilities and conditions that, in the opinion of the fire code official, constitute a distinct hazard to life or property.
Changes shall not be made in the use or occupancy of any structure that would place the structure in a different division of the same group or occupancy or in a different group of occupancies, unless such structure is made to comply with the requirements of this code and the International Building Code. Subject to the approval of the fire code official, the use or occupancy of an existing structure shall be allowed to be changed and the structure is allowed to be occupied for purposes in other groups without conforming to all of the requirements of this code and the International Building Code for those groups, provided the new or proposed use is less hazardous, based on life and fire risk, than the existing use.
1. Construction and design provisions of this code pertaining to the exterior of the structure shall apply including, but not limited to, premises identification, fire apparatus access and water supplies. Where interior or exterior systems or devices are installed, construction permits required by Section 105.7 of this code shall apply.
2. Administrative, operational and maintenance provisions of this code shall apply.
The provisions of this code relating to the construction, alteration, repair, enlargement, restoration, relocation or moving of buildings or structures shall not be mandatory for existing buildings or structures identified and classified by the state or local jurisdiction as historic buildings where such buildings or structures do not constitute a distinct hazard to life or property. Fire protection in designated historic buildings shall be provided with an approved fire protection plan as required in Section 1103.1.1.
The codes and standards referenced in this code shall be those that are listed in Chapter 80, and such codes and standards shall be considered to be part of the requirements of this code to the prescribed extent of each such reference and as further regulated in Sections 102.7.1 and 102.7.2.
Where applicable standards or requirements are not set forth in this code, or are contained within other laws, codes, regulations, ordinances or bylaws adopted by the jurisdiction, compliance with applicable standards of the National Fire Protection Association or other nationally recognized fire safety standards, as approved, shall be deemed as prima facie evidence of compliance with the intent of this code. Nothing herein shall derogate from the authority of the fire code official to determine compliance with codes or standards for those activities or installations within the fire code official's jurisdiction or responsibility.
Requirements that are essential for the public safety of an existing or proposed activity, building or structure, or for the safety of the occupants thereof, that are not specifically provided for by this code, shall be determined by the fire code official.
The fire code official, member of the board of appeals, officer or employee charged with the enforcement of this code, while acting for the jurisdiction, in good faith and without malice in the discharge of the duties required by this code or other pertinent law or ordinance, shall not thereby be rendered civilly or criminally liable personally, and is hereby relieved from all personal liability for any damage accruing to persons or property as a result of an act or by reason of an act or omission in the discharge of official duties.
Any suit or criminal complaint instituted against any officer or employee because of an act performed by that officer or employee in the lawful discharge of duties and under the provisions of this code shall be defended by the legal representatives of the jurisdiction until the final termination of the proceedings. The fire code official or any subordinate shall not be liable for costs in an action, suit or proceeding that is instituted in pursuance of the provisions of this code; and any officer of the department of fire prevention, acting in good faith and without malice, shall be free from liability for acts performed under any of its provisions or by reason of any act or omission in the performance of official duties in connection therewith.
Where it is necessary to make an inspection to enforce the provisions of this code, or where the fire code official has reasonable cause to believe that there exists in a building or upon any premises any conditions or violations of this code that make the building or premises unsafe, dangerous or hazardous, the fire code official shall have the authority to enter the building or premises at all reasonable times to inspect or to perform the duties imposed upon the fire code official by this code. If such building or premises is occupied, the fire code official shall present credentials to the occupant and request entry. If such building or premises is unoccupied, the fire code official shall first make a reasonable effort to locate the owner, the owner's authorized agent or other person having charge or control of the building or premises and request entry. If entry is refused, the fire code official has recourse to every remedy provided by law to secure entry.
Where the fire code official has first obtained a proper inspection warrant or other remedy provided by law to secure entry, an owner, the owner's authorized agent or occupant or person having charge, care or control of the building or premises shall not fail or neglect, after proper request is made as herein provided, to permit entry therein by the fire code official for the purpose of inspection and examination pursuant to this code.
The fire code official shall keep official records as required by Sections 104.6.1 through 104.6.4. Such official records shall be retained for not less than 5 years or for as long as the structure or activity to which such records relate remains in existence, unless otherwise provided by other regulations.
Materials, equipment and devices approved by the fire code official shall be constructed and installed in accordance with such approval.
To determine the acceptability of technologies, processes, products, facilities, materials and uses attending the design, operation or use of a building or premises subject to inspection by the fire code official, the fire code official is authorized to require the owner or owner's authorized agent to provide, without charge to the jurisdiction, a technical opinion and report. The opinion and report shall be prepared by a qualified engineer, specialist, laboratory or fire safety specialty organization acceptable to the fire code official and shall analyze the fire safety properties of the design, operation or use of the building or premises and the facilities and appurtenances situated thereon, to recommend necessary changes. The fire code official is authorized to require design submittals to be prepared by, and bear the stamp of, a registered design professional.
Where there are practical difficulties involved in carrying out the provisions of this code, the fire code official shall have the authority to grant modifications for individual cases, provided the fire code official shall first find that special individual reason makes the strict letter of this code impractical and the modification is in compliance with the intent and purpose of this code and that such modification does not lessen health, life and fire safety requirements. The details of action granting modifications shall be recorded and entered in the files of the department of fire prevention.
The provisions of this code are not intended to prevent the installation of any material or to prohibit any method of construction not specifically prescribed by this code, provided that any such alternative has been approved. The fire code official is authorized to approve an alternative material or method of construction where the fire code official finds that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the intent of the provisions of this code, and that the material, method or work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this code in quality, strength, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety. Where the alternative material, design or method of construction is not approved, the fire code official shall respond in writing, stating the reasons why the alternative was not approved.
Where there is insufficient evidence of compliance with the provisions of this code, or evidence that a material or method does not conform to the requirements of this code, or in order to substantiate claims for alternative materials or methods, the fire code official shall have the authority to require tests as evidence of compliance to be made at no expense to the jurisdiction. Test methods shall be as specified in this code or by other recognized test standards. In the absence of recognized and accepted test methods, the fire code official shall approve the testing procedures. Tests shall be performed by an approved agency. Reports of such tests shall be retained by the fire code official for the period required for retention of public records.
The fire chief or officer of the fire department in charge at the scene of a fire or other emergency involving the protection of life or property, or any part thereof, shall have the authority to direct such operation as necessary to extinguish or control any fire, perform any rescue operation, investigate the existence of suspected or reported fires, gas leaks or other hazardous conditions or situations, or take any other action necessary in the reasonable performance of duty. In the exercise of such power, the fire chief is authorized to prohibit any person, vehicle, vessel or thing from approaching the scene, and is authorized to remove, or cause to be removed or kept away from the scene, any vehicle, vessel or thing that could impede or interfere with the operations of the fire department and, in the judgment of the fire chief, any person not actually and usefully employed in the extinguishing of such fire or in the preservation of property in the vicinity thereof.
Persons shall not obstruct the operations of the fire department in connection with extinguishment or control of any fire, or actions relative to other emergencies, or disobey any lawful command of the fire chief or officer of the fire department in charge of the emergency, or any part thereof, or any lawful order of a police officer assisting the fire department.
Persons shall not render a system or device inoperative during an emergency unless by direction of the fire chief or fire department official in charge of the incident.
Permits shall be in accordance with Sections 105.1.1 through 105.7.18.
A property owner or owner's authorized agent who intends to conduct an operation or business, or install or modify systems and equipment that are regulated by this code, or to cause any such work to be performed, shall first make application to the fire code official and obtain the required permit.
Where more than one permit is required for the same location, the fire code official is authorized to consolidate such permits into a single permit provided that each provision is listed in the permit.
Where equipment replacement and repairs must be performed in an emergency situation, the permit application shall be submitted within the next working business day to the fire code official.
Application or notice to the fire code official is not required for ordinary repairs to structures, equipment or systems. Such repairs shall not include the cutting away of any wall, partition or portion thereof, the removal or change of any required means of egress, or rearrangement of parts of a structure affecting the egress requirements; nor shall any repairs include addition to, alteration of, replacement or relocation of any standpipe, fire protection water supply, automatic sprinkler system, fire alarm system or other work affecting fire protection or life safety.
Instead of an individual construction permit for each alteration to an already approved system or equipment installation, the fire code official is authorized to issue an annual permit upon application therefor to any person, firm or corporation regularly employing one or more qualified tradespersons in the building, structure or on the premises owned or operated by the applicant for the permit.
The person to whom an annual permit is issued shall keep a detailed record of alterations made under such annual permit. The fire code official shall have access to such records at all times or such records shall be filed with the fire code official as designated.
If the application for a permit describes a use that does not conform to the requirements of this code and other pertinent laws and ordinances, the fire code official shall not issue a permit, but shall return the application to the applicant with the refusal to issue such permit. Such refusal shall, where requested, be in writing and shall contain the reasons for refusal.
A permit shall constitute permission to maintain, store or handle materials; or to conduct processes that produce conditions hazardous to life or property; or to install equipment utilized in connection with such activities; or to install or modify any fire protection system or equipment or any other construction, equipment installation or modification in accordance with the provisions of this code where a permit is required by Section 105.6 or 105.7. Such permission shall not be construed as authority to violate, cancel or set aside any of the provisions of this code or other applicable regulations or laws of the jurisdiction.
An operational permit shall remain in effect until reissued, renewed or revoked, or for such a period of time as specified in the permit. Construction permits shall automatically become invalid unless the work authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after its issuance, or if the work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. Before such work recommences, a new permit shall be first obtained and the fee to recommence work, if any, shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided that changes have not been made and will not be made in the original construction documents for such work, and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year. Permits are not transferable and any change in occupancy, operation, tenancy or ownership shall require that a new permit be issued.
A permittee holding an unexpired permit shall have the right to apply for an extension of the time within which the permittee will commence work under that permit where work is unable to be commenced within the time required by this section for good and satisfactory reasons. The fire code official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of the time period of a permit for periods of not more than 180 days each. Such extensions shall be requested by the permit holder in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated.
Where permits are required and upon the request of a permit applicant, the fire code official is authorized to issue a conditional permit to occupy the premises or portion thereof before the entire work or operations on the premises is completed, provided that such portion or portions will be occupied safely prior to full completion or installation of equipment and operations without endangering life or public welfare. The fire code official shall notify the permit applicant in writing of any limitations or restrictions necessary to keep the permit area safe. The holder of a conditional permit shall proceed only to the point for which approval has been given, at the permit holder's own risk and without assurance that approval for the occupancy or the utilization of the entire premises, equipment or operations will be granted.
Construction documents shall be in accordance with Sections 105.4.1 through 105.4.6.
Construction documents shall be drawn to scale upon suitable material. Electronic media documents are allowed to be submitted where approved by the fire code official. Construction documents shall be of sufficient clarity to indicate the location, nature and extent of the work proposed and show in detail that it will conform to the provisions of this code and relevant laws, ordinances, rules and regulations as determined by the fire code official.
The fire code official is authorized to issue a permit for the construction of part of a structure, system or operation before the construction documents for the whole structure, system or operation have been submitted, provided that adequate information and detailed statements have been filed complying with pertinent requirements of this code. The holder of such permit for parts of a structure, system or operation shall proceed at the holder's own risk with the building operation and without assurance that a permit for the entire structure, system or operation will be granted.

Reports of such inspections shall be prepared and submitted in writing for review and approval. Inspection reports shall be certified by a responsible officer of such approved agency or by the responsible individual. The fire code official is authorized to engage such expert opinion as deemed necessary to report upon unusual, detailed or complex technical issues subject to the approval of the governing body.
It shall be the duty of the permit applicant to cause the work to remain accessible and exposed for inspection purposes. Where any installation subject to inspection prior to use is covered or concealed without having first been inspected, the fire code official shall have the authority to require that such work be exposed for inspection. Neither the fire code official nor the jurisdiction shall be liable for expense entailed in the removal or replacement of any material required to allow inspection.

Overcrowding or admittance of any person beyond the approved capacity of a building or a portion thereof shall not be allowed.

In order to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions or determinations made by the fire code official relative to the application and interpretation of this code, there shall be and is hereby created a board of appeals. The board of appeals shall be appointed by the governing body and shall hold office at its pleasure. The fire code official shall be an ex officio member of said board but shall not have a vote on any matter before the board. The board shall adopt rules of procedure for conducting its business, and shall render all decisions and findings in writing to the appellant with a duplicate copy to the fire code official.
An application for appeal shall be based on a claim that the intent of this code or the rules legally adopted hereunder have been incorrectly interpreted, the provisions of this code do not fully apply, or an equivalent method of protection or safety is proposed. The board shall not have authority to waive requirements of this code.
Correction and abatement of violations of this code shall be the responsibility of the owner or the owner's authorized agent. Where an occupant creates, or allows to be created, hazardous conditions in violation of this code, the occupant shall be held responsible for the abatement of such hazardous conditions.
Where the fire code official finds a building, premises, vehicle, storage facility or outdoor area that is in violation of this code, the fire code official is authorized to prepare a written notice of violation describing the conditions deemed unsafe and, where compliance is not immediate, specifying a time for reinspection.
A notice of violation issued pursuant to this code shall be served upon the owner, the owner's authorized agent, operator, occupant or other person responsible for the condition or violation, either by personal service, mail or by delivering the same to, and leaving it with, some person of responsibility upon the premises. For unattended or abandoned locations, a copy of such notice of violation shall be posted on the premises in a conspicuous place at or near the entrance to such premises and the notice of violation shall be mailed by certified mail with return receipt requested or a certificate of mailing, to the last known address of the owner, the owner's authorized agent, or occupant.
A notice of violation issued or served as provided by this code shall be complied with by the owner, the owner's authorized agent, operator, occupant or other person responsible for the condition or violation to which the notice of violation pertains.
The owner, the owner's authorized agent, operator or occupant of a building or premises deemed unsafe by the fire code official shall abate or cause to be abated or corrected such unsafe conditions either by repair, rehabilitation, demolition or other approved corrective action.
Where the fire code official finds any work regulated by this code being performed in a manner contrary to the provisions of this code, or in a dangerous or unsafe manner, the fire code official is authorized to issue a stop work order.
A stop work order shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner of the property, or to the owner's authorized agent, or to the person doing the work. Upon issuance of a stop work order, the cited work shall immediately cease. The stop work order shall state the reason for the order, and the conditions under which the cited work is authorized to resume.
The fire code official shall have the authority to authorize disconnection of utility service to the building, structure or system in order to safely execute emergency operations or to eliminate an immediate hazard. The fire code official shall notify the serving utility and, where possible, the owner or the owner's authorized agent and the occupant of the building, structure or service system of the decision to disconnect prior to taking such action. If not notified prior to disconnection, then the owner, the owner's authorized agent or occupant of the building, structure or service system shall be notified in writing as soon as practical thereafter.
A person who commences any work, activity or operation regulated by this code before obtaining the necessary permits shall be subject to an additional fee established by the applicable governing authority, which shall be in addition to the required permit fees.

All for about $1240 US.
Considering it, that or a P4 3.06GHZ 1gb ram, RAdeon 9000, etc... but it is considerably more expensive.
eMachines apparently didn't have a good reputation back in the nineties.But they have steadily improved over the years.

I just wished it had a separate video card, like a Radeon 9000 or Geforce 4 440 2GO or something like that..
other than that this laptop is a nice machine. Thanks for the reviews that proves helpful.. now if I could only get the commander in chief to approve.
Looking at the specs and the short reviews on the laptop, it looks to be a good deal. The reviews are all positive and I didn't find anything negative regarding it.
I'd say though, if given a chance, get the extended warrenty on the laptop. Still not too sure about eMachines track record.
I think eMachines is very good for anyody in a budget, but for desktop side. I can buy this PC for my grandmother, or an ant that only surf the net.
I don't know about latops and eMachines, but I think that for 1200 you could find something else around, though not so beefed up. I would look for an opinion of a power user before.
this was from a quick search while looking for stuff at work.
What about IBM ThinkPad G40 for 967$?


The presidential draft law on providing state aid to those who took out Swiss Franc-denominated mortgage loans and are in a difficult financial situation should be notified to the European Commission, according to a legal opinion commissioned by the Polish Banking Association (ZBP).
Judging by the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU, this project will be qualified as state aid, the opinion reads. Poland could try to prove that the project is in the public interest and that all of the provided measures are necessary for its implementation, but this will be difficult to do, the authors of the opinion wrote.

In 1989, my wife Pamela and I started TwoMorrows Advertising in Raleigh, North Carolina, providing advertising and graphic design services to local and national accounts. ("TwoMorrows" is a play on our last name-there's two of us!) In early 1994, after hearing of Jack Kirby's death, I (being a lifelong Kirby fan) dug out my Kirby comics and, after spending that Spring re-experiencing what had drawn me to Kirby's work originally, decided to produce a newsletter about him in my spare time. The result was THE JACK KIRBY COLLECTOR #1 in September 1994, mailed free to 125 other Kirby fans.
TJKC quickly caught on, and things snowballed from there. In 1998, we teamed with editor Jon B. Cooke to produce the Eisner Award-winning Comic Book Artist, followed by the revival of Roy Thomas' 1960s fanzine Alter Ego in 1999 (another Eisner Award winner for us). Mike Manley's DRAW! (the professional how-to magazine about comics, cartooning, and animation) debuted in 2001, and Danny Fingeroth's WRITE NOW! (offering tips and lessons on writing for comics) premiered in 2002. In 2004, we launched BACK ISSUE! magazine (edited by Michael Eury), covering comics of the 1970s, '80s, and today, and in 2006, we spun the ROUGH STUFF section of BACK ISSUE! into its own magazine (edited by Bob McLeod), celebrating the art of creating comics. In 2008, we launched BRICKJOURNAL, the ultimate magazine for LEGO enthusiasts. And Jon B. Cooke has returned to TwoMorrows in 2013 with the launch of COMIC BOOK CREATOR, the new voice of the comics medium.
In addition, we publish a line of highly respected and award-winning trade paperbacks, encompassing a wide variety of interests. But regardless of what time period or genre we cover, we always try to provide our readers what they want: in-depth coverage of comics (and LEGO!) history and creators, with a fun, positive slant, in the most professional manner possible.
Since 1994, we've been showing fans the future of comics (and now LEGO®) history. Sample any of our publications, and join the revolution!

For orders in the USA, we ship by Media Mail from North Carolina, so please allow sufficient time for delivery, especially if you're on the West Coast.
Please note that US subscription copies are sent by Standard Mail unless you've requested the more expensive "First Class" option, and can take from a few days to two weeks or more, depending on the speed of mail delivery in your area. Since we have no control over the US Postal Service's delivery speed, if getting your magazine before it appears in stores is critical to you, we suggest you select our "First Class" option, or purchase our magazines at your local comics shop.
For international orders, First Class Mail International (only available for packages weighing up to 4 lbs.) usually takes 2-4 weeks. Priority Mail International usually takes 1-2 weeks. Flat Rate shipping usually takes 6-8 weeks (it goes by "Surface" and the minimum charge is for 11 lbs., making it economical only for larger orders). For packages of 4 lbs. or less, the "First Class Mail International" option will generally cost less, and have faster delivery. If you want a larger package (over 4 lbs.) in the quickest time possible, your only option is the more expensive "Priority Mail International".
NOTE FOR PRIORITY MAIL CUSTOMERS: If your order contains a combination of items that are currently shipping, and upcoming items (i.e. ones that aren't shipping yet), and you choose Priority Mail (or Priority Mail International) as your shipping option, we will send the currently shipping items by Priority Mail, then send the upcoming items by the least expensive way possible as they become available. If you want the upcoming items to also ship by Priority Mail, you'll need to put each upcoming item on a separate order, so our web store can calculate the additional Priority Mail shipping costs for them.

On Tuesday, Jon Corzine will become the 53rd Governor of the state of New Jersey.
Some New Jersey school children already welcomed the Governor-elect at the children?s inaugural ceremony and celebration. A marching band, boy?s chorus and dancers were all on hand to welcome Corzine.
Event organizers say this is a great opportunity for the children to meet the Governor and to see how the government works. The governor talked to the children about the history of New Jersey and the role of the political process in their lives.

Part of Highway 99 to be dedicated to fallen Elk Grove Officer Tyler Lenehan
by: Jose Fabian
(KTXL) — Elk Grove Police announced part of Highway 99 will have a memorial dedication to Officer Tyler "Ty" Lenehan, who was killed in a wrong-way crash in 2022.
The memorial dedication signs will be on both sides of the highway from Grant Line to Sheldon roads. Elk Grove Police planned to unveil the sign at a public ceremony on Tuesday.
At the ceremony, Lenehan's military service banner will also be unveiled.
According to the department, the banners are typically posted for 12 months, but it will be a permanent fixture in front of District 56 thanks to the Elk Grove city manager and city council.
Lenehan was struck and killed by a wrong-way driver on Jan. 21 2022 while on his way to work early in the morning.
Before becoming an officer, Lenehan was a member of the Air Force for five years. He began his law enforcement career as a reserve officer for the Citrus Heights Police Department in 2012.
He then worked for two years with the Galt Police Department before joining Elk Grove police in 2016.
The memorial dedication sign will be installed at a later date by Caltrans, Elk Grove Police said.

Great way to peel fruit. Clever food hack to quickly remove the peel from certain fruits. Simple to do and could be handy when making a fruit salad. Perfect for a kiwi or mango, and even works with avocado.
I luv the kiwi peeling method, Thank you!

OFF! still making film; Shepard Fairey selling limited prints to help fund it
OFF!, the supergroup made up of Keith Morris (Circle Jerks/Black Flag), Dimitri Coats (Burning Brides), Steven Shane McDonald (Redd Kross), and Mario Rubalcaba (Rocket From The Crypt/Hot Snakes), have been working on a "sci-fi punk rockumentary" titled Watermelon, as well as an accompanying album. Their attempt to crowdfund the movie via Kickstarter was unsuccessful, but they're still planning on finishing it. To help fund it, street art icon Shepard Fairey is selling limited prints of the poster he made for their Kickstarter, with all money going towards the film:
Punk rock band OFF! which includes members from Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Redd Kross, The Burning Brides, and The Black Heart Procession is making a movie called "Watermelon," and according to their lead singer Keith Morris, "You will do what we say"…… is an MK Ultra mantra from out of the shadows, under the hardwood and the linoleum floorboards or a ray of light into the center of the brain. Worship at the church of the central intelligence agency! - These cryptic words were all I could get from Keith because Watermelon is, of course, a top-secret project about mind-control which might already have me hypnotized. I originally created this print for their Kickstarter for the film which they barely fell short of funding. I want to see this OFF! Watermelon project come to fruition, so. I'm now releasing a limited run of these prints on my site to raise money for it, July 11th. Don't miss it!

Ella Spinner stumbles through a single day after the tragedy. Set in Mossel Bay, it explores why – despite the grief, the struggles – there remains an urge to try.
This day is no more significant than the one before, or the one before that. Little progress, if any, seems to be made. Yet, I keep trying, pushing, as if working towards something, even if that something cannot be named.
Tiah Marie Beautement was born and raised in small town Oregon (USA). Her university education was spread between St Mary's in California and University of Cape Town. After graduation she found herself in the UK, picking up a South African husband, two children and a second citizenship (UK). In 2008 she moved to South Africa with her family, acquiring a dog and a number of chickens. She splits her time between writing and co-running Short Story Day Africa. Her short stories are scattered over the internet and in print. This Day is her second novel.
A searing and sensitive exploration of grief and loss, This Day held me in its thrall in one sitting and will haunt me for a long time. The writing is pitch-perfect, beautifully crafted, and full of acute and witty observations.

C.K. aka Edgar Montez stormed into the psychedelic trance scene just over a year ago and it's fair to say he's made quite an impact! As well as scooping a residency for Tribalism Radio and being a regular performer on Psychedelic Saturdays, C.K. has already graced the decks at legendary parties like Illuminaughty, Ozora – One Day in London, Tribal Village, Cohesion & Psymera! C.K.'s now taking on the festivals and can be seen performing this year at awesome festivals including: Psy-Boutique in Turkey, Dharma Festival in Poland and Boomtown in the UK! But he's not stopping there. Having dipped his toe into the world of production releasing his debut track 'Game Over' on the newly launched Psymera Records, C.K. is now meticulously crafting his sound and developing his production skills. I decided the time was now to grab him for a quick Q&A session!
Edgar - you were born and raised in Portugal. What was it like growing up there and what's your earliest childhood memory?
Growing up in Portugal was amazing to be honest, as a kid I had loads of fun. In the summer we would spend all the time on the beach, camping, walks in the forest and much more - a lot of outdoor fun!
What music were you into growing up?
I started with heavy metal funnily enough, then had enough of this and start listening to rock and roll.
Later I got into electronic music and classical too. When I got my first car I fitted it with the best sound system that I could afford - and was all about the quality! I would love to listen to Eros Ramazoty, Pavarotti - that era of music was fun times. Later I started getting into house music and this led to loving Psy-trance
When did you move to London and what drew you here?
I come to the United Kingdom back in 2002, initially just for six months, but I loved it so much I am still here! Lols! The night life was amazing and I was partying all the time.
When did you first hear psy-trance and how did it make you feel?
I was really into Trance back in 2002. One day a friend took me to a psy-trance party at the Medusa club and I loved it - I was hooked! It was from that day I started listening to it literally all the time!
Tell us about your first DJ set – how did this come about?
My first ever set was at a psy-trance event called Fresh! It was amazing - the feeling of having people dancing and enjoying my mixing and the music I was selecting. I started DJing initially because one of my best friends, Josh Smith aka Psywiser, got me into it. He is an amazing DJ and I absolutely loved his style! He saw my interest and encouraged me to start mixing; somehow he was sure I would be good at it. I guess he was right… JB Hyde aka Subzero is also a good friend and like a brother to me. He taught me well and also pushed me and encouraged me to go for it, as did my other mate - Emanuel. I'm now really glad they did!
What are the best and the worst parts of being a DJ for you?
Hmmm- that's a hard one to answer to be honest. I guess the worst part for me is playing the last track! Lol! The travelling sometimes is hard, I had gigs that I had to drive 6 hours to get there then play and finish, then head back. The best? Oh so many! You get to know so many people including artists from all over the world which is awesome. The feeling behind the decks is priceless too - I love every second of it.
You recently had your first release on Psymera Records - congrats on that! Describe your current sound and what are your ideas for future releases?
True, I decided to make a track just to be exclusive for me to play but then Psymera Records liked it so much they asked me if they could release it and I thought - why not? For the future - I have some cool ideas for tracks in mind, I am still learning though so it will take a while. I will also be releasing a compilation. I have a few things in my mind. All will be revealed…
What do you think makes a good artist? What qualities and skills do you need to have?
I think the main one is to love what you do and to remain humble. If not; the crowd will notice that and may not like it. Skills are also very important too, that and the ability to read the crowd and be prepared to change the set at any moment if necessary. It's all about the track choice in the end and of course having loads of fun.
What's been the absolute highlight of your life so far?
I love Vini Vici, Skazi, Morten Granau and Phase and I never thought I would ever share a stage with them. Now I have had the pleasure to not only be on the same line up and share the stage with them but also meet them in person which has been incredible.
You're also signed to Enterrec Records and Alchemy Records. How did this come about?
It all happened so fast to be honest; after a few months of starting to play out, I was approached by them and asked if I wanted to be part of their team. I was thrilled as for me this was a great opportunity.
You're a resident for Tribalism Radio and also involved in Psychedelic Saturdays - tell us about these shows...
Psychedelic Saturdays was started by 2 friends and I was invited to be part of the team.
We do the show to encourage and give a platform to new upcoming fresh DJs and producers to give them some exposure. We invite others to participate. It's an amazing project with people who love psy-trance. Tribalismoradio I got a chance to play for them and become a resident - they are awesome and it's an honour to be part of it.
Besides music, what are your other loves in life?
I love motorbikes and cars and when I can scuba diving is absolutely amazing. I would be diving all the time if I could.
If you could be someone else for one day, who would it be and why?
To be honest I never thought about that. I love being me so I don't think I would like to be anyone else.
Lastly, what are your hopes and dreams for your musical career? What do you have planned for the future?
I love psy-trance and consider myself very lucky. I have residencies at Cohesion events and Illuminaughty and it is amazing to be part of these 2 events. I've also joined 2 record labels and I have a few more things coming up soon. If I succeed I would love to get into production a lot more and travel the world playing at festivals one day… who knows.
Edgar – thank for taking the time out for this interview – good luck with everything & I'm excited to watch your career flourish X

Banka BioLoo has set out to solve a dirty and embarrassing problem existing in India – the lack of toilets in half of India's households. The problem of open defecation is not only humiliating for the 626 million people who don't have a closed toilet but also for a nation that has the calibre of executing a Mars Mission but not the desire to provide basic sanitation facilities to its population.
Banka BioLoo, led by Namita Banka, is a human waste management company providing sustainable solutions for sanitation and waste water for rural and urban areas. It has set out to stop open defecation by installing bio-digester toilets at places where conventional toilets facility cannot be made available.
The bio-digester technology has been developed by DRDO and is used for sanitation in high-altitude military establishments such as Siachen. Banka BioLoo is one of the first to commercialise this technology, which could well meet the sanitation needs of millions of rural Indians.
A bio-digester tank is a multi-chambered tank with the provision of inlet for human waste and outlet for water and biogas. Biogas can be used for various energy intensive activities such as cooking, water and room heating. The pathogen-free effluent water can be drained without any environmental hazards or be used for gardening and agriculture.
Banka BioLoo's biggest customer right now is the Indian Railways. The company aims to install these toilets at public places, rural areas, construction sites, hilly areas, urban slums and the areas where there is no sewage connection.
Seeing the spectacular success of Banka BioLoo one really wonders what motivated a woman to dare to venture into a male dominated sector and how did she get the idea for the venture. "I have been passionate about doing something of my own and used every opportunity that came my way. As you know we women have lot of responsibility which we have to keep in mind and use our extra time for our work. The idea came to me while I was working as a liasioning agent for a company selling equipment of controlled discharge toilet systems to the Railways. That's where I came to know about the technology. Sanitation is a space every woman can easily associate with and I was no different. I connected easily to the needs of adequate sanitation and found myself at the right place," replies Namita to the query.
Namita started her entrepreneurial journey as a jewellery designer. Her present venture took off after she moved to Hyderabad with her husband, Sanjay. Though Sanjay isn't involved in the day-to-day operations of the company, he helps in the overall development of the company through his ideas, suggestions, critical analysis and by establishing partnerships. His multi-disciplinary education, including an MBA from Germany, and varied professional experiences has helped in supporting the venture. As with most ventures, Banka BioLoo also started with family savings, with Sanjay pitching in by contributing his salary to this project.
While talking to I See India, Sanjay candidly shared his experiences and contribution to this project. "I have learnt a lot on the way. It has honed my skills, helped me develop and increase my knowledge about the field of sanitation. I also wish to share one thing from my experience- if your spouse is running a venture, support it, be a critic, help in solutions and raise questions. All these will contribute to the growth and development of the enterprise," he said. His remark underscores an essential requisite for the modern Indian society. It reminds me of a line in the NYT article The Good Men of India that went viral – A successful woman is very likely to have had a supportive male in her life: a father, a spouse, a friend, a mentor.
Namita's relentless efforts have been recognized both nationally and across the world. Banka BioLoo has been selected as a finalist in the Artha Venture Challenge 2013 . It also won the Sankalp 2013 Healthcare, Water & Sanitation Award. She was recently named the Asia-Pacific Laureate at Cartier Women's Initiative Awards, in France and won the Changing Markets Awards at International Business Forum, Turkey.
Having successfully established a venture solving a grievous problem Namita has proven how a single person can create a positive impact. I ask her what according to her can an ordinary citizen do to solve the problems of India. "By believing that every drop counts and each one of us can make a difference,in any form. That's what is going to help us sustain", she replies.
