Medusa is het 125ste stripverhaal uit de reeks van De Rode Ridder. Het is geschreven en getekend door Karel Biddeloo. De eerste albumuitgave was in 1988.

Het verhaal

Johan doorkruist de Abyss-woestijn. Wanneer hij bij een meertje halt houdt, wordt zijn paard door wurgplanten het meer in getrokken, waarna de planten zich tegen hem richten. Ternauwernood weet Johan de planten te verslaan, maar hij wordt gevangengenomen door Amazonen. Deze vrouwen blijken de in opstand gekomen vrouwen van de Jarnaï-stam te zijn. Hun mannen bevinden zich in de tempel van een wezen dat Medusa heet. Zij verzekeren het wezen van een constante stroom menselijke offers. Johan besluit de vrouwen te helpen in hun strijd tegen het terreurregime van Medusa. Zijn strijdgenoten zijn Sigrid, Naomi en de voormalige opperpriester van Medusa, Yakki.

Eenmaal in de tempel blijkt dat Medusa Johan verwacht en plannen met hem heeft. Zij is namelijk het resultaat van de experimenten van de voorouders van de Jarnaï, nog voor de zondvloed. Slechts door menselijke offers kan zij haar onsterfelijkheid behouden, maar de opstand van de Jarnaïvrouwen heeft roet in het eten gegooid. Daarom wil ze dat Johan de Jarnaïkrijgers aanvoert op veroveringstocht teneinde nieuwe gebieden en dus nieuwe offers voor Medusa te veroveren. Johan weigert, en bindt de strijd met Medusa aan.

Wanneer Medusa's helpers, de Jarnaïkrijgers en de tot leven gewekte mummies van voormalige opperpriesters falen, werpt Medusa haar mantel af en valt zelf aan. Zij blijkt een soort monster, beslist niet de Medusa uit de Griekse mythologie. Johans zwaard kan niet door haar harde pantser heen, maar uiteindelijk blijken de blaaspijlen verborgen in Yakki's "toverstaf" de sleutel tot het verslaan van Medusa. Medusa en de tempel gaan ten onder in de vlammen, en de stam kan nu weer rustig een nieuw bestaan opbouwen.

Werk gebaseerd op Grieks-Romeinse mythologie

08 MarOuch! Google is dumping slow websites?
Page speed can be defined as the time the page needs to load completely. In other words, it is the time your browser takes to receive the last byte of the information necessary to render the page. The speed of the page depends on various things such as the file size, design and your web hosting provider.
Why Is Page Speed Is Important?
Statistics indicate the slow websites lose significant sales revenues. The speed of a web page has a direct impact on viewer experience, impatience due to page load effects visitor conversions. Page speed also effects your Google ranking. The search engine will penalise slow load speeds by ranking your website lower in the search engine results pages, so the faster a website the more sales conversions it can expect. If you want me to spell that out… if Google fails to rank you, don't expect customers.
On your opening page you need to encourage people to shop, the easiest way to do that is clear and simple navigation, send them quickly and visually to the section they are looking for, less is more, make your pages with a classic simple design. Too many photos or content slows down a web page.
Compress all images and video?
I can't specify this enough, make sure all images are compressed as much as possible. For graphic files use a .png format and I find photos are best compressed as jpegs. The better the compression of visuals throughout the website the faster your site will be. This is good SEO, Google will reward you and your visitors will thank you, especially those using smart phones.
P.S. make sure and label all images using the 'Alt' tags for even better SEO results.
The AMP project by Google (Accelerated Mobile Pages) is designed to boost page speed across the web. Google has a focus on mobile devices as statistics indicate more people are searching the web now on phones and tablets. This is an effective way to give your mobile site an effective speed boost. Google doesn't consider AMP as a ranking factor, however news sites with amp feature regularly now on the top of page results.
Did you know you can compress your website code?
What is cheap hosting? If you have to ask you probably have it already. Do some research, pick a fast reliable hosting company that makes speed and security it's highest priorities. Make sure the servers are not too far from your customers. For example our customers tend to be in Ireland or mainland Europe, so we have most of our SSD servers in London and Amsterdam. The ideal server response time is less than 200 milliseconds. For improving the response time, you should focus on the holdups of performance such as slow routing, lack of enough memory and slow database queries. SSD drives for both files and databases works well, also make sure your database and files are in the same data centre.
Many websites install a plug-in from time to time they end up not using, make sure and de-activate these as they may load anyway whether you use them or not. These will overwhelm mobile devices in particular and may present minor conflicts that don't effect the site but do impact on speed.
Remember a website can't be too fast, but it can be too slow for Google. Protect your investment, keep an eye on the speed.


The Labour party conference is under way and Ed is already taking flak from unexpected quarters – and not just his brother. Yesterday Marks and Spencers were the latest to twist the knife, with their stand in the conference zone cheekily declaring support for "Plan A. Because there is no Plan B".

UMassOnline Lures New CTO from SUNY
The CIO of SUNY's College of Technology in Dehli, NY is moving to UMassOnline, the online learning consortium of the University of Massachusetts, as CTO. Patrick Masson has been selected to be the organization's new chief technology officer after six years with the State University of New York, where he oversaw work on a broad set of enterprise IT initiatives, including the SUNY system's e-learning platform. Prior to SUNY Masson spent 11 years with the University of California, Los Angeles.
In this new role, Masson will report to UMassOnline CEO Ken Udas. He moves into the position left vacant when former CTO Brian Douglas became associate vice president for budget and administration for the University of Massachusetts.
"In selecting Patrick, with whom I worked previously while at SUNY, we have added an exceptionally skilled and experienced individual who will help UMassOnline create the future, articulate our compelling vision, and attract an extended network of equally forward thinking colleagues, peers, and resources to make it happen," said Udas. "He, like all of us on the team, believes we can build on our commitment to learner and faculty success through the use of a variety of technologies that serve as catalysts that enhance access and improve learning experiences and outcomes."
UMassOnline provides 1,500 online courses for 93 undergraduate and graduate degree, certificate, and professional development programs, severing about 40,000 students worldwide.

Marvin Humes on secret to happy marriage as JLS star and Rochelle to renew vows
December 4, 2021entertainment

Capital Radio DJ Marvin said he loves working with his wife Rochelle in the BBC show The Hit List as the couple look to celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary next year
The couple have been married for 10 years and have three children together (

Marvin Humes says he falls deeper in love with his wife and best friend Rochelle every single day.
The telly duo plan to renew their wedding vows next year to mark 10 years of marriage. And chatting exclusively to the Sunday Mirror, loved-up Marvin told how the secret to a successful marriage was never taking each other for granted.
The JLS hunk, 36, said: "Rochelle is beautiful inside and out. She is my best friend. It is as simple as that. I love her more every day.
"No marriage is perfect but we are a team. We love working together, which is quite unique. But we try to focus on being husband and wife, best friends and good parents first and foremost above everything else.
"We always make time for each other as a couple – it's important to keep having date nights and weekends away.

"You have to keep working at the marriage and not take each other for granted."
The Hit List hosts became a pop power couple back in 2010 after Marvin found fame in X Factor boyband JLS and Rochelle, 32, joined girl group The Saturdays.
They married two years later and have since gone on to have Alaia-Mai, eight, Valentina, four and one-year-old Blake.
Beat Again singer Marvin continued: "We always have each other's backs.
"We are super supportive and always try to compromise."

Both Marvin and Rochelle's careers are going from strength-to-strength.
A new series of BBC 's The Hit List has been commissioned for next year and Marvin has recently relaunched his pop career with JLS, who have just finished a sellout arena tour. But the dad of three told how the children are both his and Rochelle's biggest priorities, not their careers.
"The most important thing for us is to be the best parents we can be," he said.
"Being a parent is by far the hardest job in the world. There is no handbook. You have to do the best you can.
Marvin said the key to a successful marriage was never to take eachother for granted
"For me, the number one thing is seeing them happy. It doesn't matter what they do or who they become, so long as they are happy."
Marvin also confirmed that he and Rochelle are planning to renew their wedding vows next year.
He said: "We are going to go abroad somewhere and have an intimate service. We wanted the kids to be a part of it.
"Our eldest always asks why she wasn't at the wedding and we have to explain she wasn't born then.
"It will be nice for them to see Mummy and Daddy get married. "It is nice to celebrate and acknowledge what we have achieved."

est un village du district de Minamitsugaru, dans la préfecture d'Aomori, au Japon. Officiellement fondé à la fin du , il comprend un site archéologique signalant la présence de l'homme durant la période Yayoi (~400 - ~250) et l'apparition de la riziculture. Dans les années 2000, le village devient célèbre dans tout le Japon, et même au-delà, grâce à la création et le développement d'une manifestation culturelle originale : le tambo art.

Géographie

Situation

Le village d'Inakadate se situe sur l'île de Honshū, à environ , à vol d'oiseau, au nord-est de Tōkyō. Au centre-ouest de la préfecture d'Aomori, dans la partie sud-est de la , il s'étend sur ,  du nord au sud, et  d'est en ouest, entre les villes d'Aomori, chef-lieu de la préfecture, et Hirosaki. Le village est traversé d'est en ouest par la rivière Aseishi, un affluent de la  dans le bassin versant du fleuve Iwaki. À l'ouest se dresse le mont Iwaki et, à l'est, les monts Hakkōda. Le lac Towada se trouve à environ  au sud-est.

Démographie
À la date du , le village d'Inakadate rassemblait sur son territoire  dont  de la gent féminine (52,74 % de la population).

La population d'Inakadate ne cesse de décroître depuis 1980, passant de  à  en , soit une baisse de 19,3 %. De 1980 à 2015, la proportion des plus de  s'accroît de 11,2 à 31,6 %, tandis que celle des moins de  chute de 21,7 à 11,2 %. En outre, sur la même période, le taux de natalité diminue de 1,73 à 1,33, illustrant le vieillissement de la population japonaise dans son ensemble (ce taux passe, à l'échelle nationale, de 1,73 à 1,38). Les projections les plus pessimistes annoncent un nombre de villageois inférieur à  dès 2045, pas avant 2055 pour les plus optimistes.

Municipalités voisines
Le village d'Inakadate est entouré par les villes de Hirosaki, Kuroishi et Hirakawa, et le bourg de Fujisaki.

Histoire

Préhistoire
De nombreux sites archéologiques situés dans la préfecture d'Aomori montrent que l'homme était présent dès la période Jōmon (~ - 300 ). En 1981, l'établissement d'un chantier pour la construction d'une route près du village d'Inakadate met au jour des traces d'anciennes rizières. Des fouilles archéologiques révèlent alors que le riz est cultivé dans la région depuis plus de . Le site, appelé Tareyanagi, est classé site historique national le . Il contient des vestiges de champs de riz de la période Yayoi (~400 - ~250).

Époque médiévale
Durant l'époque Nanboku-chō (1336-1392), un chef militaire de haut rang fait construire un château dans le sud de la plaine de Tsugaru. À l'époque Sengoku (milieu du -fin du ), des membres de la , une branche du clan Nanbu dominant la province de Mutsu, prennent possession du château d'Inakadate.

Époque moderne
En 1889, en application du nouveau système d'administration des municipalités mis en place par le gouvernement de Meiji, plusieurs villages du sud-est de la plaine de Tsugaru sont regroupés pour former le village d'Inakadate, l'une des  composant la préfecture d'Aomori.

Le , le village d'Inakadate fusionne avec le village voisin de Kōdenji. La nouvelle municipalité conserve le nom d'Inakadate.

Toponymie
Le toponyme «  » apparaît dès l'ère Tenbun (1532-1555). En effet, dans un document historique, datant de 1546, et décrivant les regroupements d'habitations du district de Tsugaruinaka () dans le nord-ouest de la province de Mutsu, un village portant ce nom est mentionné. Cet endroit a d'abord été connu sous le nom de «  », en raison de sa position centrale dans le territoire des Emishi, population du nord de l'île de Honshū. Une autre théorie affirme cependant que le nom du village traduit le fait que le village est dépositaire d'une longue tradition agricole centrée sur la culture du riz. Le terme «  », couramment traduit par « campagne » ou « rural »,
dériverait de «  », mot issu du , langue japonaise originelle.

Patrimoine culturel
Le village d'Inakadate est connu dans tout le Japon pour avoir créé au début des années 1990 le tambo art, ou art des rizières, dont il organise chaque année, d'avril à novembre, une manifestation.

Symboles municipaux
La fleur de riz est la fleur symbole d'Inakadate et le févier du Japon son arbre symbole.

Sa bannière est composée du sinogramme  (rizière), au centre, mettant en valeur la culture du riz, activité emblématique du village. Et la forme circulaire extérieure symbolise l'union harmonieuse des villageois.

Robertson Group outlines progress on reducing carbon footprint
Elliot Robertson
ROBERTSON Group has revealed the firm's sustainability commitments have resulted in the business moving becoming 'climate positive'.
Since launching its 2030 Responsible Business Strategy last year, the company has reported for the first time on the commitments it set focusing on three main objectives: its People, Its Partners and The Planet.
Robertson said the results have moved the group 'beyond carbon neutral', as verified by One Carbon World, to climate positive.
Emissions intensity has been reduced by 18.43% compared to its 2019/20 re-baseline, where the reporting scope was expanded, and by 49% compared to its 2014/15 baseline.
Elliot Robertson, CEO of Robertson Group, said, "It was important that we set targets that would challenge us as a business to do better for our people; our partners and our planet. We have been offsetting all of our emissions since 2018 through the funding of tree planting and renewable energy generation, and we have now committed to maintaining our 2020 offsetting level, to allow us to fully invert our 2018 carbon footprint by 2030."
Robertson revealed that the largest proportion of reported emissions come from energy use across the firm's projects, offices, factory, through travel, transport for commercial vehicles, and business travel.
"We are strongly focusing on the areas in our reporting scope to address those which make the highest contribution in the first instance," Elliot Robertson added. "By 2030 we will generate zero direct emissions from our projects, our offices, our factory, and our fleet, and we are already working towards this through a number of initiatives which have been embedded in our 2030 Carbon Management Plan. The Carbon Management Plan has been integrated into our Environmental Management System and contains a series of actions for consideration for each part of our business and our employees.
"We are working closely with our customers and stakeholders to decarbonise our projects and operations, and with our supply chain to reduce the embodied carbon of the materials we build with."

Hello, are you heading to July's CILIP Umbrella conference up here in sunny Manchester?
Don't forget to sign up for the Unbrella Unconferences, being organised by CILIP's New Professionals Group and Librarycamp, as part of Umbrella.
There will be two mini-librarycamps - here's the schedule - please sign up at Eventbrite if you'd like to come. (Please note: you will need a ticket for Umbrella to attend UNbrella).
Librarycamps are unconferences which means the participants lead the agenda – in fact, there isn't an agenda until people make suggestions for what they'd like to talk about at the start of the event.
It's a PowerPoint free zone and there are no keynotes speakers. Anyone can propose or lead or facilitate a session, just turn up and pitch your idea at the start of the event. You can also share your proposals on the Unbrella wiki ahead of the event.
If you'd rather speak to a real life librarian about unconferences and how they can help you, don't hesitate to email the Librarycamp-ers at librarycamp@yahoo.com. If you're on Twitter we'll be tweeting announcements and much more as @librarycamp.
See you there? Sign up at Eventbrite if you'd like to come.
Hi, this looks great, I'm just really disappointed it's only open to people attending Umbrella, having been told a while ago that it would be open to everyone, I was looking forward to being able to come to this. Many of us can't get to Umbrella because of (lack of) funding, and like the vibe of unconferences anyway (I had some ideas that seemed perfect to pitch at UnBrella, that weren't substantial enough to consider presenting at Umbrella even if I'd been able to conjure up some funding to attend), so this seemed like the perfect solution!
I hope it's successful and people enjoy it, and there's some way next time around to make it a fring event for those of us not able to attend the main event.
I'm one of the mini-unconference organisers and I'm disappointed it is open to non-members too. It was CILIP's call in the end - we would prefer to have it opened up, but I'm guessing it would be difficult to manage as it is taking place in once of the Umbrella conference buildings. Earlier in the year we mooted a fringe event on Tuesday night in a local pub - we'll still be meeting up I think - I just need to confirm the venue.
Thanks Sue, I understand it's CILIP's call and I can imagine it would be a nightmare trying to manage access to the buildings with different attendees allowed into different rooms within the same building, it would get complicated!
Will keep an eye out for others and see if there's any I can get to, just thought this would be interesting as it's in Manchester (like me!) and liked the idea of 2 short days and linking it it with a bigger conference.


For 10 days from December 4 to 13, one faculty member and 10 graduate students from the Asian Institute of Technology in Thailand visited the Kimura Lab in the Tokyo University of Science's Department of Electrical Engineering through support from the Japan-Asia Youth Exchange Program in Science ("Sakura Science Plan") organized by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), and participated in a design and production experience of devices equipped with microsatellites.
The Kimura Lab has developed many high-functional space equipment at low costs by using electronic devices for consumer use, and as exemplified by IKAROS and Hayabusa 2, such equipment is being used in various missions. The objective of this program is for students to learn space development in a practical manner, by experiencing production and environmental testing of mounted devices, as well as by dividing into groups and designing satellite missions.
In the first half of the program, the participants first used space camera development kits to manufacture their own space-borne cameras and implement environmental testing such as thermal vacuum tests and temperature tests. In the manufacturing process, the students learned, through experience, important points in developing and manufacturing space equipment. For temperature tests, cooperation from the Komura Lab in the Department of Physics in the Faculty of Science and Technology was obtained.
On December 9, the participants visited the Tsukuba Space Center, among other places, with cooperation from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency. At the Tsukuba Space Center, they were even able to tour the Kibo Flight Control Room, which is not normally open to visitors, providing an extremely valuable experience.
In the second half of the program, the participants were divided into two groups and carried out system design for mock satellites. Presentations were held on December 12, with the groups both presenting very unique mission proposals.
This program provided a valuable experience in international exchange, even for the TUS students who welcomed the visitors. As many of the participants have also expressed a great deal of interest in the doctoral program at TUS, there are also expectations for exchanges to expand in the future in a variety of ways. TUS is greatly appreciative of the JST's Sakura Science Plan, which has created such opportunities for exchange.

text: Broadway Federal Bank Hosts Genealogy Seminar "Black Roots: Tracing the Family Tree" Led by Author, Lecturer and Genealogist, Tony Burroughs July 21, 2010 04:33 PM Eastern Daylight Time LOS ANGELES--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--On Saturday, July 17, 2010, Broadway Federal Bank hosted a genealogy seminar entitled "Black Roots: Tracing the Family Tree" at the Nate Holden Performing Arts Center in Mid-City Los Angeles. The seminar was led by Tony Burroughs, famed author, lecturer and genealogist. Mr. Burroughs taught genealogy at Chicago State University for fifteen years and is the author of Black Roots: A Beginners Guide to Tracing the African American Family Tree, which reached number one on Essence Magazine's bestseller list. The seminar was designed to give the Los Angeles community an opportunity to learn more about how to research their family history and ask questions of Mr. Burroughs. "As a member of the Board of Broadway, I am most proud of the fact that for 60 years Broadway has worked hard to serve the community in many different ways," said Virgil Roberts, Broadway Federal Bank board member and managing partner, Bobbitt and Rogers. "The program on genealogy was another demonstration of Broadway's commitment to the community. The presentation by Mr. Burroughs inspired all who were present to learn more about their families and the history of African Americans in this country. It was a wonderful morning. In the future, Broadway will bring programs of interest to our community, as we continue to serve the community in the 21st century." "Many people have the notion that genealogy is an expensive process, and while it can be, it doesn't cost anything to start," said Burroughs. "Begin by writing your autobiography. You are the first link in your family tree. Record your story and what you remember about your family and ancestors, and go from there."

Episode 16: The Second Star – The Fire
There is one story well-known throughout the world about the Windy City and a cow kicking over a lantern that set the Great Chicago Fire in motion. The fact that the story of Catherine O'Leary's cow is totally false seems not to matter, as this wrong-headed legend continues to perpetuate itself with the general public. As the newspaper editor Dutton Peabody says in the 1952 film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, "when the legend becomes fact, print the legend."
And so it is, a hundred and fifty years later, Mrs. O'Leary and her cow live on in popular culture.
The events of the evening of October 8th, 1871 would be the culmination of a prolonged hot, dry summer in the Midwest, and when Chicago began to burn, there were fires burning in several other places as well. However. Chicago and the legend of Mrs. O'Leary's cow eclipsed the reporting of the other fires, and stuck in the popular imagination.
The Great Chicago Fire became the second star on the flag of Chicago, a marked tragedy, as approximately one-third of the residents lost their homes and the more than 300 who lost their lives. But the fire was also considered a beginning for Chicago, a reset, a blank slate — that would allow the city's business leaders and architects to imagine a new and better Chicago to rise from the ashes like a great phoenix.
In this episode, the Windy City Historians interview William Pack, a historian and author of "The Essential Great Chicago Fire" (2015) to recount the events of that faithful Sunday night when smoke was spotted southwest of the city center, near the intersection of Jefferson and DeKoven Streets. It is an illuminating story of mistakes, delays, human error, and heroism, and a transformative event for the young city on the prairie that became the "City on the Make" as later chronicled by Nelson Algren. Two days after the fire co-owner and managing editor of the Chicago Tribune Joseph Medill wrote, "We have lost money, but we have saved life, health, vigor and industry. Let the watchword henceforth be Chicago shall rise again!" In December of that year Medill would be elected mayor of the City of Chicago as a candidate of the "fireproof" party serving two terms from 1871 to 1873.

Episode 14: A Brewing City
June 25, 2020 1:09:38
Chicago has a long history of brewing and distilling; of taverns, pubs, and saloons; of alcohol distribution and consumption so we hope you will soak up this episode on the history of alcohol and its impact on the city. This episode of the Windy City Historians podcast is a historic concoction ranging across Chicago's history to explore the interplay of sociability and society around beer, spirits, and brewing to create, support, and shape the development of this toddling town and vice versa.
We hope this will whet your appetite and briefly quench your thirst for history through a unique take on the City of Big Shoulders. In this episode co-hosts Christopher Lynch and Patrick McBriarty talk with Chicago historian Liz Garibay to discuss her research and fascinating stories of American and Chicago history as viewed through the lens of alcohol. Learn the true origin of PBR's Blue Ribbon — it's NOT from the World's Colombian Exposition of 1893 — OR about the Lager Beer Riots of 1855 — as we serve up another interesting brew of Windy City history.

You may have run into slightly complex methods for formatting ebooks. Mobipocket Creator and HTML files are common, but I've found great results can be had by uploading a well-formatted Microsoft Word Doc (.doc) to Amazon Kindle, Barnes & Noble Nook and Apple iPad.
For non-fiction titles and books with a Table of Contents section, one extra thing readers will appreciate is the inclusion of a TOC link. This isn't just a page at the beginning with Chapter headings and hyperlinks to places within the document, but also a TOC bookmark, which the e-readers (like the Kindle) will automatically recognize and add to their Menu option. It's quite simple if you're familiar with adding a bookmark in Word.
All you need to do is place the cursor at the beginning of the page for the Table of Contents. Then click Insert and choose Bookmark. When the Bookmark tab opens, type in "toc" without the quotes and Add it. Once saved and uploaded to Kindle, for example, that will become a Menu option for Kindle readers to go to the Table of Contents from anywhere in the ebook.
Obviously these are just little things that make it nicer for readers, especially for books with TOCs. How will you know if you've done it correctly? Download the Kindle Previewer from Amazon, http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000765261. It will accept MOBI, EPUB, HTML and OPF files under the File tab to Open. I use Calibre or 2epub.com to convert my Word Docx to MOBI and then open them on the Kindle Previewer. All of the hyperlinks and TOC elements and menu options should work perfectly. The same is true for my books on people's Kindles, even when directly uploading Word Doc files in the way explained above.
If it's not right, make the correction and try again. One of the best aspects of e-publishing is the ability to make changes quickly and easily.
That's a great post. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that had no idea how to do that, like ME!!! LOL.
That's how I've done my kindle books – from Word. Works like a dream. What I can't figure out though, is how to get the cover itself into the word document so it appears on the kindle as well as on amazon's site.
Debbie, try adding your cover image center justified to the first page of your Word Doc (which you might already have done), then make the size absolute height down to 4 inches or even 3.75, then add a page break after the image. See if that works.
Thanks, Jason. It really *is* that easy! I don't know why I didn't think of making the image a specific size before. I didn't even convert to html – just sent the doc file t my kindle as a test.
Have to get my covers uploaded now….
Actually, not quite as simple as I'd thought. Upload the doc and you get the picture but all the hard carriage returns are pushed through as double carriage returns which looks wrong. Upload as html (which is what I do at the moment) and the carriage returns are OK but the image is gone.
Think I'd have to see your Word Doc to give advice or know exactly what you're seeing. Have you followed the Style Guide from Smashwords?
Yes, I used that guide initially. But it's only a word doc with some bookmarks in it. No images, nothing fancy. But if I send it to my @free.kindle addy as doc it puts a double line break in for every hard line break (backwards P marker). Same if I send it as a docx. Html is fine – but no image then. Bizarre. I can do it through calibre, but I wanted to avoid that if possible.
Do you have anything extra added to your line spacing options in the Paragraph Indents and Spacing section? What's your paragraph style, normal? Did you remember to check the box that says "Don't add space between paragraphs of same style?" That's done in the Paragraph tab.
I know, wish it was all a bit simpler.
that is the simplest and best definition of all that i have seen after many, many frustrating hours of going thru all this trying to figure out how to add a toc to my future? ebook. you don't include any information that is unneeded, which seems to be the way of all these people who seem more intent on showing how 'smart' they are than on teaching an ignoramus how to get something done. thank you. now what do i do about individual chapters? do i simply bookmark them as i do the toc, start and cover? So if i got it right i am thinking i must put these tags or whatever they are called in the original document first, then in the mobipocket creator I…. help me out. Ignorant man in need of knowledge.
To hyperlink your TOC Chapters to the actual spots in the document, all you need to do is first go to the location within for your first chapter and insert a bookmark (call it the name of the chapter with no spaces or symbols). Then return to the TOC and highlight Chapter One, choose to add a hyperlink to a Place Within the Document, and select the proper bookmark name.
Hi! I've been searching for an answer to what I'd like to do in my Kindle book but I can't find it yet! I figured out how to make a TOC with Google docs but what I'd like to do is make another set of hyperlinks that jump to various places in the book. I'm creating a guide to restaurants in a city, and there are two ways I want to organize the information, based on what people are looking for. It's hard to explain. lol. Right now I have each Chapter being a neighbourhood. But I would also like to create a menu organized by the type of restaurant, with the names of the restaurants taking a person directly to the page with the information about it. How do I do this?
Hi Whitney. Great question. I just did this with Google Documents and it works the same as with MS Word.
If you have MS Word, you can highlight a part that comes later in the book on (for example) Luigi's Pizza Bowl and give it a Bookmark by choosing Insert Bookmark and naming it LuigisPizzaBowl. Then go to the part in the book that comes earlier where you say, in a later chapter we'll discuss an even better place for New York Pizza by the slice, and then Highlight those words, better place, and choose Insert-Hyperlink-then choose Place In This Document and select the Bookmark for LuigisPizzaBowl.
First things first – a good easy to follow blog piece. Thank you for this.
I've been looking for an answer to how to create a TOC and came across your site. If you could help a little for me, very much appreciated. I've tried various ways of creating a TOC but when I upload to the Kindle Previewer (which I downloaded from the KDP main page), I click Go To in the drop down menu, then Table of Contents, and it tells me I have no TOC, despite following your guidelines above (which work fine in the Word doc itself).
I can only upload to the previewer as a Word doc converted to 'Web Page, Filtered' (as I gather is the suggested KDP format). Your post suggests that you upload as a Word doc though.
So, whilst I can create a table of contents in Word by using headings, and the links to places in the document work fine, when I upload to previewer I can still navigate around by the links, but the TOC bookmark itself isn't recognised. Any ideas to help?
A final question, if I may: when I create a table of contents by highlighting the chapter title text, then 'adding text', my centre formatted chapter title on the actual body of text gets shifted to left justified. I'm keen to get a good look to the final work and this means centre formatted chapter headings. In the Kindle Previewer, if I manually scroll through the pages, the centre alignment is still there, but if I navigate to a chapter using the table of content links, the chapter title shifts to left justified. All very frustrating!
Look forward to hearing and thoughts you may have on these questions.
Sorry to hear you're having issues and glad you asked for my opinion on this.
#1. On the KDP Publishing main page, after uploading a document (Word or HTML Web Page filtered) an option to Preview it will appear. Most menu functions will not work properly there, so I recommend doing step #2 (which perhaps you did).
#2. Download the Kindle Previewer from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/?docId=1000765261 It will accept MOBI, EPUB, HTML and OPF files under the File tab to Open. I use 2epub.com to convert my Word Doc to MOBI and then open them on the Kindle Previewer. All of the hyperlinks and TOC elements and menu options work perfectly. The same is true for my books on people's Kindles, even when directly uploading Word Doc files in the way I explained in the post.
Jason – you are a star! Thank you for your prompt reply and also your advice, which has worked. What I hadn't realised (maybe I missed the information somewhere, or the information wasn't clear on KDP) was that Kindle content needs to be converted to a mobi file. I used the 2epub free conversion site, as you recommended, uploading my Word doc, and it works a treat! Even my other issue of centralised headings has been sorted out by converting the text in this way. Just in case anyone else reading here experiences the same problem as I did, I've been using the Kindle Previewer downloaded from Amazon (your #2 method above).
I've spent many hours this week trying to work out how to do this. I should have just saved myself a lot of time trying to figure it out myself and done what I did today: asked for help via the search engine and find you.
Joel, you're the real star here. I'm going to update this post thanks to you pointing out where some confusion still existed. This post gets visited frequently via search engines, and your insight makes me wonder how many others didn't get the answers they needed the first time.
Your blog post here was helpful – it got me going to the point I'm at now.
I wonder if you can help with one more issue I've just encountered. Just as someone earlier on this thread noted that they had difficulty with additional space after paragraphs, so do I. I've checked around the internet and tried pretty much everything suggested, but no good. When I convert to a mobi file and upload to 2epub, it's all readable but the layout isn't best. I'd like no blank line between each paragraph. I've tried various advice in formatting the Word doc, such as: checking 'don't add space between paragraphs of the same style'; adjusting before and after space to 0(zero)pt, and auto; formatting text as normal heading, and as 'no spacings' heading; replacing return pilcrow marks with [space] using Find and Replace; converting to Word 2003 in the styles menu. Nothing works.
I've checked out the layout on one of your books and see that you don't have this paragraph problem. How did you do that?!
I'm not sure what we're doing different because those items you listed are what I do too. I uncheck basically every Auto-formatting and Auto-correct option Word has, plus I have the Don't Add a Space after paragraph checked for my entire document, and I make sure the line spacing is at 0 pts for lines after space.
If you want, I'll look at your document and see if I can see a difference. Send it to (my first name) @ the little universe (all one word) dot com. Although I'm out of the office for a day so give me a bit to get to it.
Hi Jason – just sent you an email. Your offer of support is very much appreciated.
If one were making sort of a "choose your own adventure" book or something else where you need to jump to another page in the book, how would you set that up?
Hi Whitney. If you write in Word Doc, a hyperlink in your document can be created that doesn't have to go to a website URL, but instead it can go to a Place In This Document. All you need to do is Insert a Bookmark where you want the adventurer to go from a set choice and then Insert a Hyperlink from that choice location and choose Place In This Document and select the Bookmark you already inserted. Test it, and it should work in Word, which will automatically work at retailers whether you upload in Word or HTML.
I do it a lot in my How-To books for things like, "We'll discuss this more in the Social Media Chapter," and the words Social Media Chapter will be highlighted and hyperlinked to go directly to the bookmark for that chapter.
That's odd–the 2epub conversion of your MS Word doc is somehow deleting 5 chapters from your TOC list? That's one I haven't heard of. You may have some discrepancy in your MS Word doc. I'd go through it with a fine comb and look for any differences in those 5 chapters and the rest of the TOC, including things like hidden bookmarks.
I put in all the bookmarks. There aren't any special ones. Any bookmarks that come after the ones in chapter 9, just aren't there. LOL… like I didn't do them. I've never had that problem before. Of course it would happen while I'm working on a client's project. LOL.
Sounds odd. If it's not a problem with the Word doc, you can try things like clearing your browser history, cookies, restarting your computer and seeing if that makes a difference. I've never had an issue with 2epub so I'm really not sure why it's happening.
I've never either. They've always been really good to work with. I sent in a ticket, so hopefully they'll be able to tell me what's going on. Just wanted to see if you knew of any such craziness happening before.
Jesse, if you want to send me the document I can take a quick peek at it and see it anything jumps out. Email jason (symbol-at) the little universe (dot) (com).
That's okay. I had someone suggest I use Sigil to edit the epub version. It worked like a charm, even if the program looks very intimidating. I think the issue is fixed. What caused it? No, clue. I care that it works now, and I could edit the TOC and add the other missing pieces.
April, I've noticed the Amazon Preview Mode can be fickle sometimes in that regard. If you've used the toc and start bookmarks correctly, they should be working. Do you have a Kindle or other e-reading device? You can always download the sample from Amazon and see if it works on your device, which is something I recently did to confirm the Preview Mode was having issues. You can also try downloading the sample in Kindle for PC on your computer or a Kindle app for a smart phone if you don't have an e-reader.
Let me know if that works. If it's still not working, we may need to look at your document.
I just can't figure it out. I just can't get these directions to work.
When I click insert and choose Bookmark no "tab" opens up. I do get a bookmark that can be the target for any other spot on the document, but no tab to allow me to type in "toc".
I have a perfectly working table of contents but the kindle does not see it as a NCX.
Everywhere I go everyone says "Use Microsoft Word". I'm not going to – there MUST be another way.
How would I add a TOC IN Kindle while I edit it? Trying to avoid doing it through Word, which means I'll have to reformat my ebook all over again! Suggestions?
It depends what program you're working with to format your document. Programs like Word or Scrivener have one or more methods for creating TOCs with working links that jump to the proper chapter in the book when prompted. What are you working with?

Happy Easter to everyone. I know you are all upset about the results last night, and I'll have a lot more to say about that going forward. Right now, about all I am capable of is providing you some reading material and a place to make observations.
One bit of good news: Coach Cal has apparently been elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Bo Ryan did not receive enough votes for election. Irony, thy bitter sting is breathtaking.

Kentucky-Wisconsin delivered the highest TV rating for a Final Four game in 22 years.

Your Quickies:
Kentucky basketball
Eric Crawford talks about the events of last night. Not only did the game end in a loss, but students rioted and Andrew Harrison made an intemperate comment sotto voce that got caught on a live microphone. He's since apologized for the comment.
Overall, it's a balanced take. The judgment of history on this team does not concern me. Winning the NCAA Tournament is the only thing that ultimately matters. When you lose, it's irrelevant how much talent you had or who beat you. If UK had won this game and gone on to lose Monday, it would be absolutely no different.
Nicole Auerbach's column for USA Today:
"They're devastated," associate head coach Kenny Payne said. "I think it's a little bit of shock. I don't think they ever thought for one second they would lose. I think they're sad. They wish they could have gotten it back, played the game over again. But it's life."
Exactly right. This is how life is, and it's never too young to learn how brutal athletics can be. We often talk about the money and fame, but when you lose the big one, none of that matters.
Kentucky's dream ends, but we'll never forget this team:
The 2014-15 Kentucky Wildcats gave college basketball one of its best stories in years. They captivated and rallied the country, enticing millions upon millions to tune in Saturday night and see if they could win just one more game, their 39th game, to play in the sport's final game on Monday night.
But they couldn't, so they won't. We're all robbed of something historic with Kentucky and Duke, but Wisconsin-Duke is an incredible consolation prize.
Big losses never fail to generate an unfortunate response in Lexington, it seems.
John Clay on the game:
After the sting has worn off, no doubt Kentucky will appreciate the accomplishments of what was a wondrous season. Kentucky finished the regular season undefeated. It won the SEC Tournament. It was the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament. It won 38 straight games.
It built its place in UK basketball history not just with the victories but with a sacrifice and team effort that belied a team made up of multiple McDonald's All-Americans.
This is right. It's going to hurt for a while, but life does go on for everyone.
SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell on the game:
For most of the season, Kentucky's top-rated defense looked impenetrable. Karl-Anthony Towns and Willie Cauley-Stein gave Kentucky a starting front court that really was bigger than every NBA team, and probably more athletic, too. No one had been able to consistently score one-on-one against Towns and Cauley-Stein all season long, but somehow Frank Kaminsky found a way in Indianapolis.
Indeed they did.
Tyler Ulis boils it down to it's essence:
"They played good, but at the end of the game it was basically on us," UK point guard Tyler Ulis said. "We were up four late and all we had to do was execute, get a couple rebounds, and we didn't do it. So that's why they won."
This is pretty much right. Kentucky had every chance to win this game, and they could not get it done. Instead, Wisconsin closed the deal.
Kentucky's chance at history cut short.

Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN)
aka: ACORN
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) was a nationally known organization that advocated for low- and moderate-income families and communities. ACORN began in Arkansas in 1970, when it was founded by Wade Rathke and Gary Delgado. It filed for bankruptcy and disbanded in 2010.
George Wiley of the National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO) sent civil rights worker Rathke to Little Rock (Pulaski County) in 1970, after training him at Syracuse University. From this training, Rathke and Delgado developed ACORN, an organization created to help develop leaders in low-income communities in Arkansas. They were attracted to Arkansas by several features, including the poverty of the state—which in 1970 had a median income under $6,000 and a large welfare-eligible population. Also, the state had a centrally located state capital and was thirty-five percent African American. The organizers also were impressed that the state's history included reform-minded organizations such as the Southern Tenant Farmers' Union, and that the state had recently elected reformer Winthrop Rockefeller as governor.
Rathke's first exercise was an attempt to assess welfare recipients' most basic needs, such as clothing and furniture (according to Arkansas welfare laws, families on welfare were entitled to a $40 allowance for furniture). From the beginning, ACORN's agenda was broad, encompassing such issues as school lunches, unemployment, healthcare, and the environment. Throughout its early years, ACORN was staffed primarily by middle-class young people who worked for poverty-level wages. Rathke's first office was free space at the Arkansas Council on Human Relations. He also worked closely with the Arkansas Welfare Rights organization, battling the North Little Rock (Pulaski County) school district, which was not complying with federal regulations requiring free lunches for low-income students, even though the funding for the lunches was provided by the U.S. government.
Though Rathke saw ACORN as an umbrella group under which many groups would come together and cooperate toward common goals, this was not always the case. From the beginning, it was an uphill battle for ACORN, which faced both external and internal struggles. One early stumbling block was that key welfare rights members wanted ACORN to be solely a welfare rights group and thus withdrew from the organization. ACORN reached out to other groups, adding to its ranks the Vietnam Veterans Organizing Committee (VVOC) and the Unemployed Workers Organizing Committee (UWOC).
ACORN pursued its goals through negotiation, legislation, voter participation, and demonstration. From 1972 through 1974, ACORN sponsored a "Save the City" campaign in Little Rock dealing with working-class homeowners' worries that their communities were about to be overrun by traffic problems. With ACORN's help, the campaign succeeded in achieving a new city park and a new stoplight for the neighborhood. When development of a new highway, Interstate 630, cut a swath through the community, some families were relocated and were provided social services. In addition, local real estate companies were engaging in a practice known as blockbusting—trying to trigger the turnover of white-owned houses to African Americans in panic selling—in the Oak Forest section of Little Rock. ACORN was able to put a halt to this practice.
As a result of the success of the "Save the City" campaign, ACORN expanded beyond Little Rock, establishing six regional offices throughout the state, including offices in Pine Bluff (Jefferson County), Fayetteville (Washington County), and Fort Smith (Sebastian County). ACORN also set about helping to organize farmers who were concerned about the effect of sulfur emissions on their fields from a proposed Arkansas Power and Light (AP&L) coal-burning plant near Redfield (Jefferson County). ACORN brought public pressure to bear on Governor Dale Bumpers, and the Public Service Commission ruled that the plant needed to be smaller after a study by Harvard University (an AP&L stockholder) was released on the dangers of sulfur emissions.
In 1972, ACORN entered the realm of electoral politics, with its Political Action Committee publicly supporting two candidates for Little Rock School Board. In 1974, ACORN members ran for Pulaski County Quorum Court, winning the Democratic primary and the general election. Of 250 candidates supported by ACORN that year, 195 were elected.
In 1975, with new branches opening in Texas and South Dakota, ACORN expanded beyond Arkansas to become a multi-state operation. Over the years, it increased its number of offices and its activities, becoming an international entity in 2004 with offices in Canada, Peru, and the Dominican Republic. ACORN received a considerable amount of favorable publicity due to its response to the needs of the citizens of New Orleans, Louisiana, following Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
In 2008, ACORN had chapters in more than 100 cities across the United States and 350,000 member families. Following the election of Barack Obama as president of the United States in November 2008, ACORN (which had supported his campaign) received much negative attention, including accusations of improprieties based on heavily edited undercover videos of conversations with ACORN staff in eight cities. Rathke's brother, Dale, was accused of embezzling nearly one million dollars from ACORN. The U.S. Congress withdrew federal grants from ACORN, and many of its affiliates disassociated themselves from the organization. As a result, ACORN declared insolvency and disbanded in 2010. Many of its former affiliates continue to operate under various names.

Q: Recursively replaced element with editor (and back) breaks event listeners Background: There are some values on my website which shall be editable via JavaScript and Ajax. The Ajax is working fine and I can edit values but after I saved the value I cannot edit it again without reloading the page.
I reduced the problem to this: The original element gets replaced with a HTML form. When the form is submitted the form itself is replaced by the new version of the display element, but the event listener is broken.
I put together some sample JS code (JSfiddle) which doesn't work as I expect.
var text = $('<em/>').text('click me!');

text.click(function() {
    var button = $('<input type="button" value="Click me, too" />');

    button.click(function() {
        $('#container').html(text);
    });

    $('#container').html(button);
})

$('#container').html(text);

What shall happen:

*

*current value displayed

*after text clicked text replaced with form (text element saved for simplicity)

*after button click text displayed again

*click on text works again as in step 2 (doesn't work now)

Why is the click event lost when using the text object again?

A: One option to make it work and not to rewrite the whole structure is to clone element with binded events:
text.click(function() {
    ...
    button.click(function() {
        $('#container').html(text.clone(true));
    });
    ...
})

$('#container').html(text.clone(true));

DEMO: http://jsfiddle.net/J8Sa7/2/

A: The .html() method (re)sets the innerHTML property to a text value. These strings have no event listeners - I think that's a bug in jQuery that .html() accepts anything than strings (and functions); in here your jQuery object seems to be even stringified.
To change the content to already existing DOM nodes, you will need to .empty() the container (or .remove() the text element) and .append() the button element.

Leadership: Indian MiG-29s In Central Asia
June 25, 2013: India is giving Tajikistan two Mi-17 helicopters next month. India has been providing Tajikistan with such support for over two decades. This recently included a fifty bed hospital set up by India to treat Tajik civilians.
For over a decade India has been using (after rebuilding) a Cold War era Soviet airbase in Tajikistan, near the Afghan border (at Farkhor). A squadron (about a dozen Indian MiG-29 fighters) have been based at Farkhor (now called Ayni), along with a hundred or so Indian military personnel. A major rebuilding effort left the airbase looking good as new by 2006. From 1997 to 2001, the Indian army had a military hospital in Tajikistan, to help care for Afghan rebels (mainly Afghan Tajiks) who were fighting the Taliban led Pushtuns who were running Afghanistan at the time.
The Tajiks, Pushtuns, and Indians are all ethnically related (members of the Indo-Aryan peoples found from India, through Central Asia, to Western Europe). While the Tajiks are a minority in Afghanistan, they are a majority in neighboring Tajikistan (you could kind of tell by the name of the country). After over a century of Russian control, Tajikistan became independent in 1991, and began looking for allies. India was a natural, even though nearly all Tajiks are Moslem, and most Indians are Hindu. Both countries are fearful of Russian or Pakistani interference in Central Asia, and the Indians like the idea of having an air base north of Pakistan. This annoys Pakistan and the Afghans don't seem much to care, as they also welcome Indian aid and the fact that this makes the Pakistanis angry.

Love Finds the Way (originally titled The Right to Happiness) is a three-act play written by Marguerite Merington and first performed in 1896. Theatrical manager A. M. Palmer acquired the rights to a German play by Olga Wohlbrück, which Merington adapted into English. The adaptation debuted at the Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Delaware on November 30, 1896, with actress Minnie Maddern Fiske in the lead role. The title was changed to Love Finds the Way for Broadway, where it opened at the Fifth Avenue Theatre on April 11, 1898, with A Bit of Old Chelsea by Mrs. Oscar Beringer as a curtain raiser. (Fiske starred in both plays.) Love Finds the Way is a comedy-drama about a young woman who seeks romance despite an injury that has left her unhappy and alienated from her family.

Low interest rates are here to stay, and will pose challenges to retirement security globally, Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam warned on Monday. And as investment strategies and monetary policy responses reach their limits, fundamental reforms are needed to help populations plan for retirement, he said. "We have to live with a low-interest-rate environment for a long time to come, even as our societies are getting older.
Singapore is the only Asian country which has over a trillion yen - or S$12.74 billion at Monday's exchange rate - invested in Japan, according to the first official Japanese report on foreign direct investments in the country. That makes Singapore, already the biggest investor in China and India, the top Asian investor in the world's third-largest economy, says Invest Japan Report 2015 published last week by Jetro, Japan's trade and investment promotion agency.
The jobs market picture painted by the latest official report released on Monday isn't as bleak as the sluggish economy would otherwise suggest. But the tone of the Ministry of Manpower's final Labour Market Report, First Quarter 2016 remains cautious - and looked at from a longer view, it has reasons to be. Already, the latest survey report by ManpowerGroup Singapore, also released on Monday, points to a "more conservative" pace of hirings in the next three months, with hiring prospects at their weakest since the 2009 recession.
The pace of hiring is tipped to be "more conservative" in the next three months, with hiring prospects at their weakest since the last recession, according to ManpowerGroup Singapore's latest survey. The survey, which covered 647 employers, found the net employment outlook - the difference between the percentage of bosses wanting to raise and the percentage wanting to cut hiring - has slipped further to a seasonally-adjusted plus 9 per cent for July-September, the lowest since the third quarter of 2009.
Singapore-listed real estate companies have outperformed the broader market so far this year as strong gains in the slightly smaller property plays offset declines in the biggest names, according to data provided by the Singapore Exchange (SGX). The SGX Real Estate 20 index of Singapore-listed real estate plays posted a 1.3 per cent total return between Jan 1 and June 10, outpacing the blue-chip Straits Times Index's -0.4 per cent total return over the same period.
WING TAI has sold another apartment at its freehold Le Nouvel Ardmore condominium. The seventh floor unit is being sold for S$21 million, which works out to S$4,006 per square foot based on the strata area of 5,242 sq ft (inclusive of 280 sq ft of strata void area). The buyer is believed to be Trihatma Kusuma Haliman, who controls Indonesian property group Agung Podomoro Land, which has been making the headlines in Indonesia recently.
Foreign buyers bought more homes in the first three months of the year compared with the fourth quarter last year despite a lacklustre property market, according to DTZ. Purchases by non-Singapore permanent residents jumped 5.4 per cent to 236 units in the three months to March 31, while those by permanent residents (PRs) increased by 2.6 per cent to 591 units. In contrast, citizens bought 1,973 homes, down 18.2 per cent, owing largely to the seasonal effect of the Chinese New Year holiday.
Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) has approached banks for a loan of as much as US$2 billion (S$2.7 billion) to finance its acquisition of BlackRock's Asia Square Tower 1, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The sovereign wealth fund has held preliminary talks with banks to borrow between US$1.5 billion and US$2 billion, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
Croesus Retail Trust (CRT), which holds shopping malls in Japan, is looking to bring its trustee-manager "in-house". The move, which will be the first of its kind here, involves the CRT acquiring Croesus Retail Asset Management for 4.1 billion yen (S$50 million). That will bring the overall management and day-to- day operations of CRT in-house, creating "a stronger alignment of interests" between the trustee-manager and unitholders, it said in a statement on Sunday.
The development of culture often has a powerful influence on a country's retail industry. Anime and manga culture has spawned numerous unique products, such as character models, cafes and cosplay, that have made Japan a sought-after retail destination. South Korea has arguably become a fashion powerhouse due to the industry's close links with Hallyu, or the Korean wave. Singapore, however, has long taken a pragmatic view to economic development, prioritising "hard" industries over socio-cultural development. Retail here has largely been driven by the importing of a wide range of renowned international brands.
A Singapore mega supermarket for all things tech, Challenger Technologies, through its push to become a major e-commerce player, shows it has realised the big opportunity that selling online can bring to the local retail giant. In an environment where having a strong and credible online presence is crucial for every retailer's competitiveness and growth, Challenger has set an ambitious target to have its revamped e-commerce portal hachi.tech accounting for up to half of group revenue within five years, up from a very small percentage now.

Hi MJ! So nice to see you here. I heard you speak a couple of years ago at the Self-Publishers Online Conference and enjoyed your talk. (My wife, Susan Daffron is the principle organizer of SPOC.) I'm writing fiction now under the pen name you see associated with this comment.
Your book sounds fascinating. The amount of research you did is impressive. Sadly, I know you have many tens of thousands of words related to the subject that couldn't be put into the book itself. But I'm sure the flavor (or perhaps I should say "scent") of all that background work permeates the story. Thank you for sharing the musical influences that helped you get the project rolling.
And thank you, Roz, for another great post!
MJ will no doubt be over later to reply… but I have to exclaim at the fact that you two have met, or almost met. Small internet, I guess!
True, it is a small Internet. Although millions may surf, few actually interact. I keep running into many of the same people wherever I go. It's both comforting and disturbing. I guess not everyone feels compelled to share their opinion. Unlike me.
MJ, thank you for sharing this. I love that it was your husband who helped you find the voice you'd been seeking–talk about romantic! Sometimes it really takes that piece of music to point us to that elusive place–it is remarkable when it happens. And those of us who have had the pleasure of savoring THE BOOK OF LOST FRAGRANCES are most grateful to your husband–and the music–for their part in your journey!
Erika – that's a lovely detail, isn't it? We never realise how much our obsessive research is rubbing off on the other creatives in our lives.
Great to see you here – one of my inaugural Undercover Soundtracks.
Thanks for posting and how interesting DrM. Nice to see you. And Erika – thaks for the kind words about the book!!
This post made me feel emotional – and of course I detest feeling all emotional, so dang you! (laughing).
My brother is a musician and composed a piece for me, as well, and it is the most personal and beautiful of things for someone to have done for us, yes.


I've never liked describing myself. How do I use words to describe...me? So I won't. Photography grants me the ability to bypass these formalities and instead allow you to walk in my hiking boots and view the world through my eyes. So take a saunter* through my gallery and see what I see.
* On the word "Hike" : "I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains - not hike! Do you know the origin of that word 'saunter?' It's a beautiful word. Away back in the Middle Ages people used to go on pilgrimages to the Holy Land, and when people in the villages through which they passed asked where they were going, they would reply, 'A la sainte terre,' 'To the Holy Land.' And so they became known as sainte-terre-ers or saunterers. Now these mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them."
