Cricket: Newcomer Haris Sohail stars in Pakistan's win over New Zealand

https://str.sg/3dmv
DUBAI (AFP) - Newcomer Haris Sohail batted with maturity during his maiden one day international half-century to steer Pakistan to a three-wicket win in the first day-night international against New Zealand in Dubai on Monday.
The 25-year-old left-hander scored 85 off 109 balls and added 110 for the seventh wicket with veteran Shahid Afridi (who hit a 51-ball 61) to rescue Pakistan from a precarious 124-6 and turn it into a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
Pakistan, set a daunting 247-run target, were struggling at 40-3 before Sohail added 34 with skipper Misbah-ul Haq (13) and 38 with Sarfraz Ahmed (26) to steady the innings.
With just 13 needed at a run-a-ball, Afridi was run out but Sohail hit Jimmy Neesham for his fifth boundary to seal the win with three balls to spare.
Afridi hit seven boundaries and a six in his 37th one-day fifty.
Earlier, Ross Taylor became the sixth batsman, and first from his country, to score three hundreds in consecutive matches to lift New Zealand to 246-7.
Pakistan's Zaheer Abbas and Saeed Anwar, and South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs, AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock have also achieved the feat.
Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals with Mohammad Hafeez (six), Asad Shafiq (five), Ahmed Shehzad (28) and Younis Khan (four) trudging back to the pavilion with the score barely passing 50.
Paceman Kyle Mills gave New Zealand the breakthrough in the fifth over, bowling Hafeez before Daniel Vettori struck twice and Neesham once.
But Sohail and Afridi rescued Pakistan.
Misbah admitted it was a difficult match.
"It was very tough. Full marks to the way Sohail and Afridi batted and rescued us," he said.
New Zealand captain Kane Williamson felt his team didn't capitalise on Taylor's hundred.
"I think on the back of Ross's superb knock we had a reasonable total on the board but it's a shame we didn't do the job well with the ball and Pakistan's middle order came good," said Williamson.
Earlier, Taylor had held together the New Zealand innings after Mohammad Irfan (3-57) had inflicted serious damage on the top order.
Taylor added 58 for the seventh wicket with former captain Vettori (27) in the final overs after steadying the innings during a 44-run sixth wicket stand with Luke Ronchi, who made 23.
Irfan had dismissed opener Dean Brownlie (14) and skipper Kane Williamson (10) in his first five-over spell before returning to take Ronchi's wicket in the 38th over.
Tom Latham was run out for 13 and Neesham was lbw to Afridi for one as New Zealand were left struggling at 111-5.
Paceman Wahab Riaz claimed the wickets of opener Anton Devcich (26) and Vettori to finish with 2-51.
But Taylor kept one end intact, reaching his 27th one-day fifty with a single. He hit Umar Gul for a six and a four before taking a sharp single to complete his hundred off 133 balls with eight fours and a six. He hit another boundary off Riaz on the final delivery as New Zealand scored 41 runs in the last five overs.
Pakistan included all-rounder Hafeez as a batsman alone after he was suspended over an illegal bowling action but left out hard-hitting Umar Akmal.
New Zealand were forced to leave out opener Martin Guptil and all-rounder Corey Anderson due to injuries.
The remaining matches will be played in Sharjah (Dec 12 and 14) and Abu Dhabi (Dec 17 and 19).

What Is the New Paper Makeup?
Makeup has been in the news a lot lately. Women who wear a lot of makeup are being criticized for their choice to cake it on. It's becoming more fashionable to go natural with makeup and either make it look like you don't have any on at all or really don't wear any at all. That's what I've seen Marnie Bennett doing and she looks great.
This is hard for women of a certain age. At the same time that there are pressures to look natural, women like Renee Zellweger are being criticized for looking too old. Then there are women who get plastic surgery, and they are being criticized for their choices in augmenting their face. Well, here's a new item for society to criticize. It's called paper makeup. It's another wonderful way to weird you out in the makeup department. And yes, it's just what it sounds like. It's makeup made out of paper. You can get them online from the company, Mai Couture. They are colored as foundations, blushes and highlighters. The sheets cost anywhere from $15 to $70, and they come in booklets.
To use the sheets of makeup, you simply tear a sheet out of the book, gently rub the side with the color onto your skin in the desired area and repeat if you want more color.
Ever wish you could get that perfectly fitted feel without going to a tailor? Now it can as easy as whipping' out your phone and downloading an app! MTailor, with the use of an iPhone camera, determines your body measurements for you and you can go from there. The directions on the app instruct you to choose the fabric, collar, and cuff that you would like to start. Next, you measure yourself with the use of your iPhone or iPad. Finally, with those two easy steps, you should receive your shirt in the mail, simple as that!
The shirts start at around $64, the same price you would pay picking an un-customized shirt off the rack at J. Crew or Banana Republic. One awesome benefit about using this app it that is saves a lot of time and headaches at the mall. You are able to quickly and efficiently order shorts at your leisure, and the app saves your measurements so you don't have to retake them every time you wish to order more. It saves travel time and you never have to face the disappointment of finding a shirt you love but just don't look quite right when you try it on.
They would just use your original body measurements but change up the formula. MTailor is also looking to make the app available on FreedomPop and other Android devices as soon as possible. This app has a bright future in a world where everyone is constantly praising, dissing, or demanding recognition for all kinds of body types, as it's sure to make anyone look their best no matter what size they are.
The iconic fashion designer Oscar de la Renta passed away October 20 at his home in Connecticut after an eight-year battle with cancer. He was 82 and is survived by his wife of 25 years, Annette, a son, and three stepchildren.
Oscar de la Renta was born in the Dominican Republic in 1932 but left home at age 18 to study in Spain with Sam Tabar. On October 13 of this year, he announced that Peter Copping, a British fashion designer, would succeed him as creative director of Oscar de la Renta.
Every first lady since Jacqueline Kennedy has worn Oscar de la Renta, and his designs were especially popular with first ladies Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Bush.

Q: Is there an equation or system of some sort to determine if a card is worth its mana cost? I was just wondering if there was an equation or way of finding out if a card(spell,minion,and weapon) is actually worth its mana cost. Also are there any decks which are based on value cards(cards which do more than they should for their cost)?

A: A simple test used to exist called the vanilla test to check if a minion's base statline (ignoring abilities as these obviously increase worth) was at an acceptable level. To see if a card beats the vanilla test simply see if the sum of the attack and defence values is greater than or equal to double the mana cost of the card. Back before Naxxrammas this test was hugely reliable and showcased the power of cards such as chillwind yeti (very popular at the time. Now, however, the advent of minions with special abilities and deathrattles more so than those which already existed has broken the vanilla test and it is largely no longer reliable. Saying this, minions which pass the vanilla test and also have an added ability are usually hugely powerful - examples being mysterious challenger, doctor boom, shielded minibot and knife juggler.
Usage of the term "vanilla test" can be seen in this battle.net post, under the Value heading.

A: Almost all meta decks are based on value cards with the rest of the deck built around them.
Examples :

*

*Secret Paladin with Mysterious Challenger

*Midrange Hunter with Savannah Highmane, Ram Wrangler, Houndmaster, etc

*Control Warrior with Varian Wrynn, Thaurissan, etc

There is no equation for the base worth of a card based on its mana cost as of the moment. The only numerical and reliable mechanic of seeing a deck's strengths right now is the win rates, and you won't be able to see the specific card win rates, but the deck win rates.
However, there are a lot of card tier lists where people assign scores on specific cards. These aren't derived off of some formula, but it depends on the card stats, effects, the current meta, and how it synergizes with everything else.
Some card tier list examples :

She certainly has no reason to be shy of her fantastic figure.
Which is perhaps why Rihanna decided to put it all on display as she indulged in a spot of surfing in Hawaii.
But instead of catching some waves, the singer decided to lounge on the surfboard seductively while she soaked up some sunshine.
As she lay on her stomach, the 23-year-old's black G-string bikini left very little to the imagination.
The skimpy number showed off her pert derriere as she propped herself up on her elbows while floating along in the ocean.
And even her cover-up had been incredibly revealing.
The Umbrella singer was wearing a black net dress which she removed once she had taken her spot on the surfboard.
She prevented her brunette tresses from getting wet by piling them on top of her head.
The star also accessorised with in patterned blue bow amid her curly locks.
Rihanna then topped off her beach look with some scarlet red lipstick and lots of gold jewellery.
She wore large hoop earrings, two chunky necklaces, and several rings and bracelets.

Rihanna is said to have been spending time with Brown, who was convicted of assaulting her back in 2009, over the past year.

Rihanna has yet to comment on the reports.


Start up, Axon Financial Systems, has been formed to offer software and services to help with market data administration and the issues around exchange rules, policies and compliance.
The new vendor company will limit the level of consultancy services it will offer, instead its primary focus will be on building quality software solutions aimed at reducing repetitive manual processes.
Chris Hutton, CEO, says "Axon is primarily a software driven services company, aimed at streamlining market data administration and reporting processes. Our goal is to provide reliable services that deliver clarity in an ever changing market data and compliance environment".
The first of the Axon products to launch is PEAR, an on-line service that simplifies and explains exchange market data policies. It differs greatly from the other offerings on the market as the data is stored in a very granular database structure (not just a store of PDFs and free text) which allows for mapping of exchange policies down to product level and provides an historical view of exchange data policies, fees and announcements. It has also standardised much of the conflicting policy language to create searchable terms for exchange rules, such as unit of count, simplifying the comparison of products across the different exchanges and markets. Invaluable information for anyone facing an exchange audit.
"Our view is that a significant amount of consultancy surrounding market data policy can be encapsulated into an on-line service at a fraction of the cost", says Garforth.
Hutton, worked in various product and project management roles in Harco Technologies and Wombat, before their acquisition by NYSE Euronext. After the creation of NYSE Technologies he went on to head up the DART product business, before leaving in August last year, shortly after the purchase by S.R. Labs.
Garforth, CIO, spent 12 years at the London Stock Exchange where he carried out a number of roles including Market Data Auditor and Product Manager before becoming the Market Data Manager for Real Time Services. He went on to hold positions in Bloomberg and Ballintrae before joining NYSE Technologies as the Exchange Policy and Compliance expert for the DART suite of products.


New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, co-authors of a stalled bipartisan comprehensive immigration overhaul that includes a "path to citizenship" for the country's estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants, said Sunday that Tuesday's election results have created a new impetus for reforms.
In an appearance Sunday on "Meet the Press," Mr. Schumer, a Democrat, said the overwhelming support among Hispanic voters for President Obama's re-election sent a clear signal to Republicans.
Mr. Graham, appearing on CBS-TV's "Face the Nation," said the falling support for Republicans among Hispanic voters is a trend the party has to address.
The South Carolina Republican acknowledged that the Schumer-Graham plan includes a pathway to citizenship, but only after the Southwest border is secured.
The resurrection of the Schumer-Graham plan comes after House Speaker John A. Boehner made it clear last week that he is open to an immigration overhaul.
In an interview with ABC on Thursday, two days after his party saw Hispanics vote overwhelmingly for Democrats, Mr. Boehner said the time had come to address immigration.
"This issue has been around far too long and while I believe it's important for us to secure our borders and to enforce our laws, I think a comprehensive approach is long overdue, and I'm confident that the president, myself, others, can find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all," he said.
His use of the word "comprehensive" set off alarm bells within the GOP because that is the term immigrant-rights advocates use for legislation that would legalize most of the estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants now in the U.S., as well as rewrite the legal-immigration system.
Reaction to Mr. Boehner's overture came quickly from the immigration hard-liners in the GOP.
"I'm concerned that Speaker Boehner is getting ahead of House Republicans when he commits to getting a 'comprehensive approach' to immigration taken care of 'once and for all,'" Rep. John Fleming, Louisiana Republican, said in a statement late Thursday, telling Mr. Boehner to "pull back" on his comments.
Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican and vice chairman of the House subcommittee that handles immigration, took to Twitter to reject the idea of a GOP U-turn on immigration, saying the party shouldn't get into a bidding war with Democrats to try to buy Hispanics' allegiance, because they will never bid high enough.
"Obama voters chose dependency over Liberty. Now establishment R's want citizenship for illegals. You can't beat Santa Claus with amnesty," Mr. King tweeted Thursday evening.
But other prominent conservatives have said the election should prompt rethinking of the GOP's stance on immigration. Radio show host Sean Hannity said Thursday that he now supports a pathway to citizenship, and columnist Charles Krauthammer said Republicans should unapologetically embrace amnesty.
"Yes — amnesty. Use the word," Mr. Krauthammer wrote Thursday in his election analysis.
Friday morning, at his weekly press conference, Mr. Boehner clarified his intentions on the issue.

Regular season baseball is defined by its large sample size. Postseason baseball is defined by how small it is in comparison.
There's nothing quite like a baseball game with everything on the line, and that's exactly what fans will be treated to all season long. The Nationals and Brewers kicked things off with an epic Wild Card Game, while the Rays took down the A's in Oakland.
With the final eight teams established, the stage is set for a wild ride to the 2019 World Series. So, which team is taking home a trophy this month? Let's do what we do best and power rank them.
8. Rays
The Rays spent small stretches of 2019 looking like the best team in baseball and large stretches looking like the third-best team in their own division. Ultimately, they settled in as the AL Wild Card road team, but managed to blow past the A's and earn a spot against Houston in the ALDS.
It's fair to point out they dealt with as much poor injury luck as anyone this season, especially in losing 2018 Cy Young winner Blake Snell for such a large chunk of the season.
If they're firing on all cylinders, this is a team capable of springing an upset or two. But the talent isn't quite as strong as it is with the other three AL teams, which means they'll be considerable underdogs every step of the way.
7. Cardinals
St. Louis has been one of my favorite sleeper World Series picks since Spring Training. The offseason acquisition of Paul Goldschmidt seemed like a perfect marriage between player and organization, and while his OPS fell to .821 (his career mark is .916), it was still a pretty good year for a "down" season.
The other major storyline in St. Louis entering the season was their talented crop of young starting pitching. Jack Flaherty, in particular, had the makings of a breakout ace.
We didn't see it in the first half, but Flaherty proceeded to dominate in the best second half a pitcher has had in since Jake Arrieta in 2015. His 0.91 second-half ERA keyed the Cardinals' surge, and they now have a decent chance of making it back to the NLCS for the first time since 2014.
6. Twins
Initially, I had the Twins fourth in these rankings, exactly where they've found themselves in our regular MLB Power Rankings for the last few months. As one of just four teams in baseball to win 100 games this season, they've earned our respect as one of the sport's elite teams.
Having said that, Minnesota is, at best, the third-best team in the AL. The fact that they would likely have to win series against both the Yankees *and* Astros significantly hurt their odds to take the World Series this year. Not to mention the greatness of those two opponents, but the Twins also have a notable history of postseason struggles against New York.
So, given their path, they had to move down behind a couple of great National League teams. If they prove us wrong, they'll certainly have earned it.
5. Braves
Before Braves fans start yelling at me for having the Nationals ranked ahead of them again, let me be clear: these rankings are postseason only. Atlanta earned its higher spot in our regular season rankings fair and square, but Washington's roster looks better suited to an extended postseason run.
That said, the Braves are certainly contenders in their own right. Atlanta will return Ronald Acuna Jr., and obviously still boast Freddie Freeman in the middle of a formidable lineup. Dallas Kuechel has been here before thanks to his experience in Houston, and there's a lot of depth here.
The bullpen remains a significant concern, but their path to the NLCS looks easier than any other true contender. That alone makes them serious threats out of the National League.
4. Nationals
Prior to the NL Wild Card Game, I would have had the Nats much lower. It's such a coin flip, making it hard to trust any team forced to begin their postseason run with an elimination game.
Now that they're past the Brewers, it's on to the Nationals' nemesis: the NLDS. This will be the franchise's fifth attempt in eight seasons to reach the NLCS. The previous four did not end well for fans in Washington.
A bleak postseason history is no reason to give up on a team this talented and resilient, but the fact of the matter is it's hard to have confidence in any team facing the Dodgers. It won't be easy picking against the clear-cut best team in the National League.
Still, the Nationals have the only rotation in the NL that can go toe-to-toe with the Dodgers' Big 3, and may even be favored. The lineup is obviously deep, and the team has beaten worse odds than this.
A winner-take-all game followed by an NL behemoth is a brutal path, but the Nats have the roster to get through it.
3. Yankees
The Yankees are a difficult team to square entering the postseason. There's certainly talent aplenty, but they've notable struggled with an onslaught of injuries all season long. Will we ever see the team at full strength? Probably not.
Furthermore, despite their standing as pretty clearly one of the three best teams in baseball, they happen to find themselves in the same league as one of the strongest teams in MLB history in Houston. That will likely make for a challenging path.
The Twins are no slouches either. Can the Yankees win full series against three 100-win teams? They may have to do so if they want to take home some hardware this month.
2. Astros
As mentioned below, the Astros are still pretty clearly the best team in baseball. In fact, some advanced analytic sites have Houston as potentially the greatest team in baseball history.
I don't believe that's true, but this roster is definitely better than the one that won the World Series in 2017. The offense is still elite, with Alex Bregman making a late push into the MVP conversation. And the rotation is reaping the benefits of trades for Justin Verlander, Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke, three true aces nobody wants to face in October.
Houston may end up with the AL MVP (50/50), AL Cy Young (lock) and AL Rookie of the Year (lock). It's hard to imagine anybody stopping this team, even with a difficult path to the AL pennant.
1. Dodgers
Right off the bat, let's be clear: I still think the Astros are the best team in baseball.
Having said that, Los Angeles has a much easier path to the World Series than Houston does. The Dodgers' opponents will be some combination of the Cardinals, Braves, Brewers and Nationals. Those are two good teams, one pretty good team, and one decent team.
The Astros, meanwhile, will have to face the Athletics or Rays, two excellent teams, then the Yankees or Twins, two elite teams who each won 100-plus games this season.
The Dodgers aren't baseball's best team, but they are an elite roster dialed in on finally winning a title. Thanks to their league, they also have the best chance of anyone to win the 2019 World Series.

There are a lot of nuances involved when it comes to public policy. Candidates will often stick to the most generic, reliable, poll-tested catch phrases to seem as inoffensive as possible and appeal to the broadest cross section of voters.
The same phrases, if applied properly, can also mean different things to different people. That's why it's important to read between the lines of what political candidates claim their issues and positions are.
Take my general election opponent, for example. The incumbent Clackamas County Commissioner in Position 5, Sonya Fischer, has spent her entire stint in public office catering to a radical leftist agenda.
Now that she's up for re-election, she knows that if she was honest about her voting record, she would lose her seat handily. Instead, she's doubling down because she knows her atrocious stances have made her vulnerable.
Fischer has a history of saying that she supports the kinds of things that Clackamas County residents and voters want. But when you take a long, hard look at the actions she's taken in office, they don't match up with those claims.
She claims that she wants to make our communities safe. Who doesn't?
Well, Fischer has also worked for years with Reimagine Oregon, a fringe group that has a stated goal of defunding the police. That organization's website has, at times, included content in which it takes credit for helping to cut police programs in various jurisdictions throughout the Portland metropolitan region.
Ideologues like Fischer can claim to support public safety when what they really mean is diverting resources away from funding officers and towards organizations that they support. That's not the same as supporting public safety. In fact, those policies have undermined public safety from one end of this nation to another.
When people like Fischer say they want affordable housing, it doesn't mean that they are at all interested in addressing the root causes of the high costs. If that was the case, they would be working to lessen the restrictions that limit the amount of buildable land throughout Oregon.
Instead, what they mean is that they want more government programs, funded by increased fees on the same entities that build houses, to pay for more government housing. It has nothing to do with increasing the overall housing stock or improving market conditions. But it sounds nice, so they say it.
Saying that you want our communities to be affordable is one thing. But Fischer also admits that much of her approach consists of relying on Metro to solve our housing issues. What's wrong with that? Well, the fact that Metro has been a huge part of the problem for decades. If the bureaucrats at Metro had any idea of how to make housing more affordable for working families, I imagine they would have done something about it by now, right?
This is exactly what I mean when I say that voters need to read between the lines. Otherwise, we end up stuck with the same policies that are undermining our quality of life here in Clackamas County. I'm determined to make the differences clear over the next few weeks. Because when push comes to shove, I'll do what's necessary to properly address these issues instead of just talking about them.

Im looking for an eBike (sorry if thats the wrong term - would it be classed as an eMotorcycle) that can go over 15mph - to keep things legal I assume I would need to pay insurance, road tax, MOT like a petrol bike.
I don't want a bike thats the size of a motorbike/scooter - something with the look, dimensions & approx weight of an eBike but can go over 15mph. Range of approx 25miles would be sufficient.
Any electric bike that does not meet the EAPC rules is classed as a motorcycle or moped and needs to be registered and taxed. You'll need a driving licence to ride one and you must wear a crash helmet.
This should have been done by the manufacturer or importer before you bought it. If it's been type approved, it will have a plate showing its type approval number.
any mid motor bike can be dongled to remove the speed limit.
Yes, a Speed pedelec known as the S -Class is the type of e-bike you need. Allowed a double power rating of up to 500 watts and with assistance to 28 mph, they are otherwise normal bicycles except having to be registered.
There are many makes with all the legal bits and number plate mounting, but they aren't cheap!
Brilliant thanks guys. This is exactly what im looking for.
Yes, you must aim for one with a certificate of conformity for the DVLA to accept it.
After we leave the EU on the 29th March or whenever, even that might no longer be valid, but that's a legal technicality and no doubt the DfT and DVLA will just carrying on accepting them since we won't have any other system in place.
Except chaos! We seem to be good at that these days.

1 Million by Paco Rabonne — John Murray Productions, Inc.
For the product launch of Paco Rabonne's new fragrance, 1 Million, John Murray Productions, Inc. worked in conjunction with Hunter Events to transform the penthouse suites at San Francisco's Clift Hotel. A custom built 10' x 7' x 4' vault featured mounted faux bouillon engraved with the 1 Million logo, as well as a life size safe used to showcase the new product. Surrounding gray drapery and accent lighting completed the polished look of the suite. The result was a simple yet sophisticated environment which succeeded in promoting the latest extension of the Paco Rabonne brand. Photos courtesy of Bay Area Event Photography.


The company announced it had become "cash-flow positive" earlier this year, meaning it won't need to raise any more money, but it took more than 8 years to hit that milestone. Meanwhile, Dropbox was slower than its rivals to add an enterprise component to its business, and none of its projects beyond its core product — online file storage and sharing — have seen anything like 500 million uses.
It ends up being kind of the home for the team's knowledge where if I want to find out the roadmap for Paper, I can just open up the app and search "Paper roadmap" and there it is. Ordinarily I would have have to get invited to some doc or I'd have to send an email to the product manager. It's much easier for the team to organize their documents in a more public way. It ends up being a hybrid between a Google Docs use case and a Wiki, bringing the best of both worlds.
Houston: Well, it's a little of both. We certainly work with Microsoft and our products are integrated. Dropbox supports Office and vice versa. We also compete, obviously. I think when you look at Microsoft and Google — a lot of those products were designed a while ago. We really benefit from having enough of blank slate to be able to take a fresh look at a lot of these spaces. But, compared to some of the startups we have a lot bigger scale and we have a lot more firepower to really put a dent in this problem. We have 500 million people on the platform, we're in millions of businesses, hundreds of thousands of paying customers, the better part of 1,000 people on our product development team. So we can really go after and solve big problems.
Houston: I can give you a couple of examples. Even in the file realm one of the things we're really excited about is Dropbox Infinite which is the ability to have an infinitely-sized Dropbox and not run out of space on your laptop again. That's been a problem for people since the beginning.
Houston: The first thing is starting with our scale. We are probably the largest repository of documents in the world, many tens of billions of work documents. It's a tremendous starting point. Computer science, algorithms, machine intelligence will help a lot in helping manage that overwhelm. You have to go all the way up. It's not just the infrastructure. You have to build a great user experience and everything in between and I don't think anybody has really put all the pieces together.
It's something we've been working on for a few years and we're really proud of that accomplishment, because many hundreds of petabytes of data, which is many hundreds of millions gigabytes, and [we made] that transition with no one noticing. Our analogy is like we have to change out the engine on the 747 while it's in flight with none of the passengers detecting that.
Houston: We have obsessed over culture since the beginning. A few years ago we really decided to get systematic about what that actually means — write down what's important to us as a company. When you're growing so quickly, the company is doubling every year, and when half of the company is new and has a random set of experiences and considers a random set of things important, it's easy for things to get diluted. Getting explicit about not just writing down our values, but then making sure everybody hears about them on the first day of work through onboarding, how we recognize people, through promotions and how we review people.
Second is "sweat the details" and the element of craft. We love people who really are obsessed with doing their work at the highest level.
When you think about some of the things that don't change, a lot of the value you create is from building a good fundamental business and making a lot of customers happy and having a business model that works. There are times when in different parts of the cycle you can get kind of separated from that. I think we've seen a little bit of a cooling, back to basics, back to fundamentals, solving really important problems, having a business model that's sustainable, and I think that's been a healthy thing for the environment.

The Sistine Chapel is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace, the official residence of the pope. The chapel's ceiling painting created by Michelangelo in the early sixteenth century is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Western art.
The chapel is still used to this day but it is open to the public as part of the Vatican Museums.
The Sistine Chapel was built in 1473-1481 by Giovannino de' Dolci as a private chapel for pope Sixtus IV. It has a rectangular shape, 40.50 meters long, 13.20 meters wide and 20.70 meters high (133 x 43 x 68 ft). A marble screen, created by a trio of artists, divides the room into two unequal parts. The floor is in opus sectile, in the style of the Cosmati, with beautiful geometric patterns.
The walls of the room are decorated with frescoes created in the fifteenth century by some of the best artists from Tuscany and Umbria. But as marvelous as they may be, they are overshadowed by the work of Michelangelo Buonarroti, who created the famous ceiling painting in 1508-1512 and, in 1534-1541, a wall painting of the Last Judgment.
The Ceiling Painting
Creation of Adam
The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel originally resembled a blue starry sky. In 1508 pope Julius II asked Michelangelo to repaint the ceiling. Michelangelo only accepted reluctantly since he considered himself a sculptor and architect rather than a painter. He even went as far as to sign the contract with 'Michelangelo, sculptor'.
According to a rumor his rival Bramante convinced the pope to assign the work to Michelangelo. Bramante hoped that Michelangelo's reputation would suffer if he did a poor job; after all, he had basically no experience with such work. Julius II asked Bramante to create a scaffold for Michelangelo, who considered it unusable and instead created a scaffold himself. Soon after he started working on the ceiling frescoes Michelangelo fired his assistants and continued painting the ceiling all by himself, all the time lying on his back.
Julius II wanted Michelangelo to decorate the ceiling with paintings of the twelve apostles. Michelangelo however decided to paint the 'creation' as written in the Old Testament. This made sense since the walls of the chapel were already decorated with other events from the bible.
The Frescoes
Expulsion from the Garden of Eden
Michelangelo painted the ceiling with the then often used fresco technique which meant that each day a layer of fresh plaster was laid and Michelangelo then had to paint that area before the plaster was dry.
The ceiling is divided into nine central sections that all depict scenes from the bible, starting with the 'Creation of Light' and ending with the 'Drunkenness of Noah' at the altar. Michelangelo actually started painting the other way around, and you can notice a difference in style as he perfected his style while painting. The most famous part of the fresco is the 'Creation of Adam', where Michelangelo depicts the almighty descending towards earth to give life to Adam.
Michelangelo painted classical architectural elements such as statues and pilasters to divide the different sections. Around the biblical scenes he painted prophets and Sibyls, prophetesses from the antiquity. The lunettes show portraits of Jesus's ancestors and the four triangular pendentives in the corners show scenes from the Old Testament.
The Wall Paintings
More than twenty years after completing his ceiling masterpiece, Michelangelo also painted the Last Judgment on the wall behind the altar. But while his former work received wide recognition, his painting of the Last Judgment drew criticism from puritans who complained that there was too much nudity. Michelangelo responded by giving Minos, the donkey-eared judge of the dead, the face of his sharpest critic, Biagio da Cesena. After Michelangelo's death the painting was censored by the pope and all private parts were overpainted by Daniele da Volterra, who received the nickname 'Braghettone' (breeches maker).
The other walls are decorated with frescoes created between 1481 and 1483 by a group of renowned painters including Botticelli, Perugino, Ghirlandaio, Signorelli and Rosselli under the guidance of Pinturicchio. The paintings depict scenes in the lives of Jesus and Moses. They are considered masterpieces of Italian Renaissance, but most visitors hardly even notice them, instead giving all their attention to Michelangelo's works.

John Bell is one of my favorite composers and lyricists. He writes music that reaches deep inside of me and calls to me. Most of his hymns are short chant type pieces that I am able to sing all day. On Sunday we sang one of my favorites "Take, O Take Me As I Am" and in the place I currently reside I needed to hear those words. You see I often wonder if I am worthy of the tasks God asks of me. Sometimes doubts just creep into the corners of my mind and mock me with all of the mistakes I've ever made.
The words of John Bell speak to those doubts, telling me God isn't looking for perfection. God is looking for real beings that try, fail, get up and try again. Well that fits me to a tee. How do I know this well? If you look at all the people God has ever called: Moses, Abraham, Noah, Jonah, Paul, all of them were less than perfect but they had something God needed, faithfulness, determination, grit. They didn't give up when they started something that was what God was looking for, not perfection.
So this morning I offer these words of John Bells for you to chant during the week, to remind you that love, caring, compassion, justice, mercy don't come with perfection they come in the packages they are in, you and I. We may be less than perfect, but we are who God Seeks.

\section{Supplementary Materials}

\subsection{S1. The expressions for the self-energy}
We here use the Green function method and random phase approximation to get the self-energy corrections. The Heisenberg equation-of-motion for the Green function
is given by
\begin{equation*}
  \frac{d\hat{G}(\mathbf{k},\tau)}{d\tau}=-\delta(\tau)\tau_{z}-\langle \mathcal{T}[H,\Psi_{\mathbf{k}}(\tau)]\Psi_{\mathbf{k}}^{\dagger}(0)\rangle
  =-\delta(\tau)\tau_{z}-\tau_{z}(H_{\mathbf{k}}+\Sigma_{\mathbf{k}})\hat{G}(\mathbf{k},\tau).
\end{equation*}
Here the self-energy term $\Sigma_{\mathbf{k}}$ is obtained from the random phase approximation. With the Fourier transformation
$\hat{G}(\mathbf{k},\tau)=(1/\beta)\sum_{n}\hat{G}(\mathbf{k},\omega_{n})e^{-i\omega_{n}\tau}$, we can get
$-i\omega_{n}\hat{G}(\mathbf{k},\omega_{n})=-\tau_{z}-\tau_{z}(H_{\mathbf{k}}+\Sigma_{\mathbf{k}})\hat{G}(\mathbf{k},\omega_{n})$. Thus
\begin{equation*}
  [i\omega_{n} - \tau_{z}(H_{\mathbf{k}}+\Sigma_{\mathbf{k}})]\hat{G}(\mathbf{k},\omega_{n})=\tau_{z}.
\end{equation*}
By multiply a $\tau_{z}$ term on the both side, we can get the Dyson's equation in the main text. The effective Hamiltonian is presented as
\begin{equation*}
  H_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}}=H_{\mathbf{k}}+\Sigma_{\mathbf{k}}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}
  h_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}} & \Delta_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}} \\
  (\Delta_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}})^{\dagger} & (h_{-\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}})^{T}
  \end{array}
  \right),
\end{equation*}
with $h_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}}=h_{0}^{\mathrm{eff}}\mathbb{I}_{2}+\mathbf{h}^{\mathrm{eff}}\cdot\bm\sigma$.
$h_{0}=(h_{A}^{\mathrm{eff}}+h_{B}^{\mathrm{eff}})/2$, $h_{x}^{\mathrm{eff}}=J_{a}\frac{(\bar{S}_{a}+\bar{S}_{b})}{2}\mathrm{Re}(g_{\mathbf{k}})$,
$h_{y}^{\mathrm{eff}}=-J_{a}\frac{(\bar{S}_{a}+\bar{S}_{b})}{2}\mathrm{Im}(g_{\mathbf{k}})$,
$h_{z}=(h_{A}^{\mathrm{eff}}-h_{B}^{\mathrm{eff}})/2$, where
$h_{A}^{\mathrm{eff}}=K_{a}(-2S-1+4\bar{S}_{a})+3J_{z}\bar{S}_{b}-J_{2}^{a}\bar{S}_{a}^{\prime}(6-d_{\mathbf{k}})-h_{A}^{r}$,
$h_{B}^{\mathrm{eff}}=K_{b}(-2S-1+4\bar{S}_{b})+3J_{z}\bar{S}_{a}-J_{2}^{b}\bar{S}_{b}^{\prime}(6-d_{\mathbf{k}})-h_{B}^{r}$
$\bar{S}_{a}=S-\frac{1}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}\langle a_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}a_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle$,
$\bar{S}_{b}=S-\frac{1}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}\langle b_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}b_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle$,
$\bar{S}_{a}^{\prime}=S+\frac{1}{3N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}d_{\mathbf{q}}\langle a_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}a_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle-\frac{2}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}\langle a_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}a_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle$,
$\bar{S}_{b}^{\prime}=S+\frac{1}{3N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}d_{\mathbf{q}}\langle b_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}b_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle-\frac{2}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}\langle b_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}b_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle$,
$h_{A}^{r}=h_{B}^{r}=\frac{J_{1}}{N}\mathrm{Re}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}f_{\mathbf{q}}\langle a_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}b_{-\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}\rangle
+\frac{J_{a}}{N}\mathrm{Re}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}g_{\mathbf{q}}\langle a_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}b_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle$
$(\Delta_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}})_{12}=\frac{(\bar{S}_{a}+\bar{S}_{b})}{2}J_{1}f_{\mathbf{k}}-J_{1}^{z}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}f_{\mathbf{k-q}}
\langle a_{\mathbf{q}}b_{-\mathbf{q}}\rangle$, $(\Delta_{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}})_{21}=(\Delta_{-\mathbf{k}}^{\mathrm{eff}})_{12}$.
By applying the random phase approximation, there are also many other terms in the self-energy.
But we find the other terms always vanish during the self-consistent process, we neglect them for simplicity.

The diagonalization matrix $\Lambda_{\mathbf{k}}$ reads
\begin{equation*}
  \Lambda_{\mathbf{k}}=\left(\begin{array}{cccc}
  u_{\mathbf{k},a\alpha} & u_{\mathbf{k},a\beta} & v_{-\mathbf{k},a\alpha} & v_{-\mathbf{k},a\beta} \\
  u_{\mathbf{k},b\alpha} & u_{\mathbf{k},b\beta} & v_{-\mathbf{k},b\alpha} & v_{-\mathbf{k},b\beta} \\
  v_{\mathbf{k},a\alpha}^{*} & v_{\mathbf{k},a\beta}^{*} & u_{-\mathbf{k},a\alpha}^{*} & u_{-\mathbf{k},a\beta}^{*} \\
  v_{\mathbf{k},b\alpha}^{*} & v_{\mathbf{k},b\beta}^{*} & u_{-\mathbf{k},b\alpha}^{*} & u_{-\mathbf{k},b\beta}^{*}
  \end{array}
  \right).
\end{equation*}
The above thermal average can be transformed into the basis of $\Phi_{\mathbf{k}}=(\alpha_{\mathbf{k}},\beta_{\mathbf{k}},\alpha_{-\mathbf{k}}^{\dagger},\beta_{-\mathbf{k}}^{\dagger})^{T}$. For example,
\begin{eqnarray*}
  \frac{1}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}\langle a_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}a_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle &=& \frac{1}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}}(
  |u_{\mathbf{q},a\alpha}|^{2}\langle\alpha_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}\alpha_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle
  +|u_{\mathbf{q},a\beta}|^{2}\langle\beta_{\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}\beta_{\mathbf{q}}\rangle
  +|v_{-\mathbf{q},a\alpha}|^{2}\langle\alpha_{-\mathbf{q}}\alpha_{-\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}\rangle
  +|v_{-\mathbf{q},a\beta}|^{2}\langle\beta_{-\mathbf{q}}\beta_{-\mathbf{q}}^{\dagger}\rangle) \\
  &=&\frac{1}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q}} [|u_{\mathbf{q},a\alpha}|^{2} n_{\mathbf{q},\alpha}+|u_{\mathbf{q},a\beta}|^{2}n_{\mathbf{q},\beta}
  +|v_{-\mathbf{q},a\alpha}|^{2}(1+n_{-\mathbf{q},\alpha})+|v_{-\mathbf{q},a\beta}|^{2}(1+n_{-\mathbf{q},\beta}] \\
  &=&\frac{1}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{q},\lambda=\alpha,\beta}( |u_{\mathbf{q},a\lambda}|^{2}+|v_{\mathbf{q},a\lambda}|^{2})n_{\mathbf{q},\lambda}+|v_{\mathbf{q},a\lambda}|^{2},
\end{eqnarray*}
The first term is the thermal correction and the second term does not vanish at zero temperature, corresponds to the quantum correction term.
Repeat the above the procedure for other terms in the self-energy, we can get the relation in Eq.~(5) in the main text.

\subsection{S2. Temperature induced weak Ferrimagnetic phase}

Due to sublattice asymmetries, the band degenaracies is broken.
At finite temperatures, the occupation number for the two bands is different. This will induce a weak ferrimagnetic phase.
The total magnetization along $z$ direction is defined as $<S_{z}>=\bar{S}_{a}-\bar{S}_{b}
=\frac{1}{N}\sum_{\mathbf{k}}(\langle b_{\mathbf{k}}^{\dagger}b_{\mathbf{k}}\rangle-\langle a_{\mathbf{k}}^{\dagger}a_{\mathbf{k}}\rangle)$.
From Fig~\ref{figS1}, we can see $<S_{z}>$ does not equal to zero at relatively high temperatures.
When neglecting the magnon-magnon interactions, $<S_{z}>=0$, the two magnon bands are always degenerate at $\Gamma$ point
when $K_{a}=K_{b}$ although the sublattice NNN interactions are different.
But at finite temperature,  $<S_{z}>\neq0$, zero band gap condition at $\Gamma$ point satisfies for some value of $K_{a}$ with
$K_{a}<K_{b}$.

\begin{figure}[t]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{figS1}\\
  \caption{$\langle S_{z}\rangle$ distribution in the $K_{a}$-$T$ plane. The dashed gray lines are the phase boundaries adopted from Fig.~3 (a) in the main text.
  }\label{figS1}
\end{figure}

\subsection{S3. Phase diagram for ferrimagnets}

The temperature driven topological transitions for antiferromagnets are due the sublattice asymmetries, which broken the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry. In Ferrimagnets,
the $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is naturally absent. In recent experiment, the electron doping can drive a transition between the antiferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism in
NiPS$_{3}$, indicating the ferrimagnets can be induced from antiferromagnets.

We here set $S_{A}\neq S_{B}$, $J_{2}^{a}=J_{2}^{b}=J_{2}$, $K_{b}=0$.
The phase diagram is presented in Fig~\ref{figS2}. We can see
the topological phase is also dependent on the temperature. But there are differences from the antiferromagnets.
At zero temperature, the Chern insulating phase exists in the interval $K_{a}\in(K_{c1},K_{c2})$.
The trivial phase at $K_{a}<K_{c1}$ always stays trivial by increasing temperatures.
In the interval $K_{a}\in(K_{c1},K_{c2})$, the topological bands will experience phase transitions into trivial phase
above critical temperatures. When $K_{a}>K_{c2}$, the trivial bands experience topological transitions into nontrivial phase.
In the both phase transitions, the bands also experience band gap closing and reopening at $\Gamma$ or $K$ point,
accompanied by a chirality switch, similar to the case of antiferromagnets.

\begin{figure}[t]

  \includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{figS2}\\
  \caption{The phase diagram for ferrimagnets. $J_{1}^{z}=1.01$, $J_{1}=1.0$, $J_{2}=-0.2$, $S_{A}=2.5$, $S_{B}=2.2$, $K_{b}=0$.

I Want to Destroy Your Equilibrium
June 11, 2012 • By MaryAnne Kolton
SO MUCH HAS BEEN said and written about this stunning, prolific author that many of us have strong perceptions of her, be they right or wrong. I tried to bring an open mind, and a sincere desire to know her better to this conversation. It was difficult to leave my feelings of awe, extreme admiration, and a fair amount of hero worship at the door...
– Mary Anne Kolton
MAK: Kathryn, it's hard to know where to begin with you. I've read and loved all of your books and just finished reading most of the interviews you've done. You are an iconic, truth-telling writer who has given us much to consider, including your newest book, Enchantments.
After encouraging all of us to rake through the ashes of your personal life in Seeking Rapture: Scenes From a Woman's Life, The Mother Knot: A Memoir and The Kiss: A Memoir, you leave us wondering: how have you managed to maintain your equilibrium?
KH: I admit I encourage you to look, but I'm the one who does the raking. And I'm doing that for me. I feel I'm unusually fortunate in having a genuinely symbiotic relationship with my work — it exists because of me, and I because of it. Certainly it's the only means I have to approach anything like balance.
The phrasing of the question makes it sound as if I leave readers struggling to find balance, or maybe I'm just projecting. Because that's what I want. I want to write well enough to seduce you into watching me unfold the story. And when the story has ended I mean for it to have destroyed your equilibrium.
I love it when people write to tell me what weird and disturbing dreams they've had after reading something I've written. That response is better even than the praise, because it means that my words slipped past that reader's defenses and into his or her unconscious.
There are soothing books, books to which I return when I'm tired and want to be diverted from one or another tribulation. I like them — at times I depend on them — but I don't write them. I don't intend to, and I wouldn't know how.
MAK: Almost all the authors I've interviewed have had less than ideal childhoods — some bordering on the horrific and appalling. Most of them don't or can't write about them. The symbiosis you describe is perhaps one of the reasons your work is deeply seductive.
You were raised by your grandparents? What were you reading as a child?
KH: I was raised by my mother's British parents, and my grandmother's conviction that hers was the superior culture meant that most of the books my mother read as a child were British. They remained on the shelves and beckoned all the more for being from another culture — I could get all the American books I wanted from school or the library. And they offered a tangential connection to my seductive and elusive mother.
Most of them had to do with magic. Andrew Lang, especially The Princess and the Goblin, The Princess and Curdie. E.M. Nesbit. Enid Blyton — both The Enchanted Wood and Wishing Chair series and her Holiday collections of short stories. Most of these concerned naughty children and their comeuppance. A girl whose punishment for pulling the cat's whiskers was to grow a set herself — that kind of thing. P.L. Travers' Mary Poppins books, which are a lot scarier than the movie.
I went on to discover C.S. Lewis and Tolkien and Madeleine L'Engle, especially A Wrinkle in Time. I can see Mrs. Who's illustration of the ant crossing the thread to illustrate the tesseract. The Phantom Tollbooth. A Cricket in Times Square. The Borrowers. But stories didn't have to be fantastic. I read the Laura Ingalls Wilder Little House books over and over. Harriet the Spy. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Black Beauty. The series that begins with The Five Little Peppers and How They Grew. Cherry Ames, Student Nurse. Cherry was a precursor for Nancy Drew, whom I also liked.
MAK: The wonderful mists of magic realism. I found Enchantments to be a carefully woven tapestry of Russian history, magic, innocence, and the drumbeat of what is to come.
You also weave strong threads of another compelling father-daughter relationship throughout. The unknowable Rasputin and his child, Masha. This theme appears in so many of your novels. Is this done by design or subconsciously?
Word traveled quickly, more quickly than it would had any other man's body been dragged from the river...A crowd of people had come running to where we'd stood before, on the frozen river. They came from their homes with bowls and jugs and cast-iron kettles — anything that would hold water...I saw an old woman lugging a chamber pot. Now that would have made Father laugh until he hooted and howled and dried his eyes with the heels of his hands — the idea of a withered crone ladling his ghost into a chamber pot.
KH: Because I'm aware of it, I think of it as more helpless than unconscious. But I don't have much more control over how a novel unfolds than I do over how a dream plays out while I'm sleeping, so in that sense what I write is certainly steered by my unconscious.
And, on a conscious level, my relationship with my father still torments me — I expect it always will.
MAK: You have said that you read and enjoy Freud's writings. Does it make a difference that many of Freud's theories have now been discounted as a basis for psychological thought as we know it?
KH: Well, Freud remains a monolithic figure, the father of psychology, a flawed father, with his blind spots — he was, after all, human — but a thinker of profound influence, his centrality proved by the seemingly endless urge to contradict or disprove his theories.
I think if Jung's insights are collated with those of Freud, together they offer an unparalleled means of understanding the unconscious, which — post analysis — is not only a personal preoccupation but a means of understanding human action and relationships.
That said, Freud's lexicon — unconscious, repression, sublimation, libido, transference, id, ego, super-ego, oedipal, neurosis, anxiety, obsession, anal, traumatic hysteria, defense, projection, reaction formation, repetition compulsion (and these are just off the top of my head) — has so permeated our language and our way of approaching the psyche that one reason I set novels in eras that predate his influence is to work in a world in which the unconscious remains hidden and I am not allowed to use any of the terms on the page. But even in that world my thinking is informed by his (and Jung's and many other of his inheritors) vision.
MAK: I was hypnotized by the lyricism and elegant, passionate prose of your book Exposure: A Novel, but it pained me, and suggests that a reader might want to approach your work carefully. Should readers start with a book like Envy prior to delving into the darker side of your writing?
KH: I don't know about beginning with Envy: A father and mother try, with limited success, to recover from the drowning death of their young son. Will, the husband, makes a grief-addled foray into a past overshadowed by his doppelganger, a disfigured twin who is an Olympic swimmer, and who, Will discovers, has betrayed him in an insidious and truly malevolent manner.
And then the unrepentant bad girl appears, bent on vengeance. I enjoyed writing that character — how could I not when she sexually manipulates a father-figure and nearly destroys his life? — and I hope she affords the reader amusement in her endless capacity for sexual mayhem. But I don't know that there's much else to celebrate. In fact, had I the chance to revise the ending once more, I'd finish on a bleaker note, without any apparent hope for the marriage's recovery.
Maybe The Seal Wife would be a better starting place? At least it has an ambiguous, Gone With the Wind kind of closure: will Bigelow's mute lover stay with him, or will she leave again and break his heart once and for all?
I don't think of Exposure as being particularly dark, at least among my novels. Maybe because the shoplifting is fun? Sexual abuse; life-threatening illness; death; suicide; betrayal; murder: at least two of these advance the plot of each of my novels. But despite my dark preoccupations, I think I can be playful, and in that way provide solace and even pleasure. For a novel that ends in the assassination of an entire family, Enchantments is almost lighthearted. At least it does consistently lift the characters out of their dire predicament, if only by using "magical realism." I do wish there were a better term for fiction that's informed by the conventions of folk tales and myths. The kind of stories that unfold around a fire as the night presses in. The kind that require some form of alchemy to spite the darkness.
MAK: Can you tell me how you came about the idea for the Seal Wife? So spare and lovely.
KH: I was fortunate to have been raised by two elderly European Jews, both of whom had lived in far-flung places, and who loved to tell stories. Just as The Binding Chair plundered my grandmother's history, The Seal Wife was based on the early life of my grandfather, whose wanderlust carried him to Anchorage Alaska in 1917, before the city was a city. He was there at the land auction, lived in the tent city. As a young man (he was 18 in 1917) from very humble circumstances, he had the freedom to travel because of his unusual math abilities — in the age before adding machines, he was just as fast and accurate; it didn't matter how long the numbers or how many. Wherever he went he found work as a bookkeeper, and I gave that mathematical genius to Bigelow, the character modeled on my grandfather.
In Anchorage, my grandfather knew a woman called Six Mile Mary (she lived 3 miles out of town, so six was the round trip) and he had photographs of her. He took a lot of pictures of Alaska, very beautiful, black and white. He developed them himself. When I saw the one of Six Mile Mary smoking a pipe, I fell in love. I was six, maybe seven, and I knew I'd discovered something important, an independent female power that stood in contrast to all I understood from my mother — her vanity table, the perfumes and cosmetics. I wouldn't have been able to articulate exactly what held me as a child, but it kept me returning to the image: a woman, all alone, with a pipe in her hand, a dog, a hovel, that was it. She seemed self-contained, silent, content in her isolation. Her life seemed both grand and mysterious. When I began The Seal Wife I had Bigelow marrying the tent singer, as my grandfather had in real life. But I couldn't keep Six Mile Mary out of the story; she'd had a great impact on me over the years and still lived — and lives — within me. By the second draft she'd taken over, as the silent Aleut woman: the seal wife. And, of course, the novel was also inspired by the fairy tale of the same name.
MAK: How do you answer those who would say you should have written the personal books as novels? That you did not have to expose your family in the way you did, and did so only because someone encouraged you to do it, or because there was more money to be made in disclosing the personal aspect of the stories.
KH: Well, you're asking about one book, really, aren't you? The Kiss. Not that I haven't written other things that are personal, and have invited judgment, just that that book is the real lightening rod. I don't listen much to "those who would say" whatever they say. I strove for years, and failed, to win my tormented young mother's love and admiration; then, to keep what I believed was my father's love, I gave him whatever he demanded. I emerged from my father's grasp changed: I understood that my desire for love had cost me my integrity, and, as I hadn't ended my life, I would live it differently. Even if, as my father told me and I believed, no one would ever love me. I knew, at great cost, that what I understood about myself was more important than what anyone else might think or say about me.
I tried writing the story as fiction — Thicker than Water, my first novel — and discovered, too late, that I had betrayed myself again. One of the motivations for writing The Kiss was my increasing discomfort over having presented the story of what happened between me and my father as fiction: I'd done as society dictates a daughter should: I'd said, in essence, "I made it up. It didn't really happen." But it did. And that's an important difference in this case. To me, it was.
As for exposing my family, I didn't. I exposed myself. No one encouraged me to allow the story to be published as nonfiction — on the contrary, anyone who cared about me tried to warn me what the public response would be like. I guess I'd lived with my history so long I'd lost the ability to imagine other people's outrage over incest. Which is proper — this is how taboo functions in society: shaming/shunning/exile. I was surprised by the virulence of some of the attacks, and of strangers' eagerness to judge me on the basis of a book they hadn't read. But ultimately, none of that matters. The book has many more ardent supporters than enemies.
And I don't write anything to put in a drawer. Especially not that book; as a human being as well as a writer I had to tell the story as it was, in nonfiction: it had to be heard. So much of what I write — female characters in particular — are about giving a voice to the silenced. Had my father not been able to depend on my keeping his secret, he'd never have been able to manipulate me into sex. But I'd learned what the world taught me: what had happened was unspeakable. And then, later, I learned the cost of keeping such a secret. Of being silenced about what had nearly ended my life. And I knew there was value in having such an account out there — I'd looked for one myself, desperately, when I was involved with my father. The one thing that did surprise me about the publication was some people's insistence that I should never have spoken up. One review even ended with the words "Shut up." It was by a woman. I guess her life had been a lot different from mine.
It's easy to judge a person whose experience you refuse to acknowledge. To say she's lied, she's not thinking of her children, she did it for the money. And of course those are all the standard slurs made against a woman who gets out of line: call her a liar, a bad mother, a whore for doing it for the money. As to that, the big advance was a rumor. There was no money involved. My publisher expected a novel for which they'd already paid an advance and agreed to swap in a memoir.
MAK: Is there a new book we should know about?
KH: I am currently working on a biography of Joan of Arc.

The senseless death of nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel, a little girl shot dead in her own home, shocked the nation.
Heartbreakingly, it happened exactly 15 years to the day 11-year schoolboy Rhys Jones was gunned down as he walked home from football practice. Olivia's death meant Liverpool was once again in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons and, while we were determined not to let it define our city, we needed to acknowledge we had a problem. We knew instinctively that reporting on the tragedy was not enough and we appreciated early on we had to reflect the emotions of our readers, to empower them and give them a voice. Because the despair, disbelief and anguish felt by the people of Liverpool when they woke up to news of Olivia's death was quickly replaced by anger and a determination to do the right thing. The Echo has been the voice of Liverpool and the wider city region since our newspaper first hit the streets in 1879. We use our Voice of the Echo opinion column sparingly - only when we have a right to be part of the conversation and only when we have something to say. On this occasion it was clear we needed to use our platform to articulate the voice of our communities. Our front page on Wednesday, August 24, 2022, was a powerful interpretation of that leader column asking the people of Liverpool Whose Side Are You On? It placed the Echo at the heart of the call for people to do the right thing and share any information they had with Merseyside Police. It was also a very public condemnation of the so-called 'no-grass' culture which had prolonged the agony of Rhys Jones' family before justice was finally served. When discussing the front page we knew the shocking details of Olivia's death had been widely reported and we had a responsibility to centre the tragedy on our city, to speak to, and on behalf, of its people. The emotion came naturally - our task was to distil it into a front page that conveyed the horror of what had happened while stating clearly what must happen next. We tried to put the reader into the minds of Olivia and her mum during those tragic, terrifying moments, then pull back and ask them to examine their conscience. In asking Whose Side Are You On? we were answering the question for ourselves - the Echo was on the side of Olivia and her family and the stunned population of a wounded city. While our future clearly lies in digital journalism, nothing quite beats the impact of a powerful front page. And the impact was immediate. Our reporting team was deluged with requests from interviews from national and international media which allowed us to amplify our message. There was praise from our peers and gratitude from Merseyside Police's Chief Constable and local politicians. But the real vindication came from our readers who thanked us for giving them a voice.


A prophetic friend of mine was walking through a parking structure with me, soon after my mother died in 2010, he said your mom wants you to know she can do more for you now than she ever could have here. I was thankful for the word.
It is good to know our friends and relatives can help us from the other side.

I am, and will always be, a big fan of Eagletime Gaming. I anxiously await the next few videos!
Now we can watch some more Hearthstone!
Will Ix take the lead? Will btp continue playing just the basic cards? Will DragonFogel learn how to double-jump???
And now for the last episode of this batch!
Mystery Battle! Who will btp and ix choose for their ULTIMATE REMATCH???
This will be the last episode for a few weeks, I think. Alas I must return to my duties as an educator and won't be able to binge edit videos for some time.

Maybe...maybe we need some help.
Hey! It's spring break so time to take a break from teachin' and unbreak from being bad at video games!
Here Surix and Ixcalibur guide me through the perils of the intricate puzzles of the Antichamber!
In retrospect, I was not a great listener.
Super thanks to earthexe for letting me use some of his rad tunes in the video!
I watched this while on the clock at work.

Better stay alert then! This next episode contains a bit of a steamy tableau. NSFW.
Aw thank you Ix! What a sweet thing both to say and not append anything to!
More quality content. Keep up the good work gaming.
