Sarah's short fiction has been published by The Mechanics' Institute Review, Cinnamon Press, Mslexia, the Momaya Annual Review, Hysteria 2, and on the web. Her work was shortlisted for the 2016 Fish Short Story Prize and the 2014 Bridport Prize. She is currently working on her second novel and is writer in residence at the George Abbot School in Guildford.
1. You have said that, 'some stories will feel more precious.' Which of your stories hold that place for you and why?
It's a combination of the time and effort involved, and if a story taps into something difficult and personal. (Those are the best ones, obviously). My story 'Something Hidden' is dedicated to my sister, who died when she was a baby. Writing it was a way of remembering her and celebrating her life, which I was unable to do at the time. It was a long, slow process to uncover the shape of it, and to understand what I was trying to do. I love Stephen King's quote – from his brilliant book, 'On Writing' – that 'stories are relics […] the writer's job is to use the tools in his or her toolbox to get as much of each one out of the ground intact as possible'. Writing is definitely excavating for me. My story 'A Thousand Grains of Sand', recently published in the MIR #14 anthology, is precious for a different reason: I wanted to show life in Beijing in 1980 – a world that has vanished. I also hope it gives voice to people whose stories have rarely been heard, particularly in the West. It took me years to wrestle onto the page, so I'm pleased it's found such a good home.
2. How did you end up becoming a reader for The Brighton Prize, and what are you looking for in a good piece of writing?
I submitted a story, which didn't make it, but was asked the following year to be a reader.
I'm looking for voice, first of all. A character I want to spend time with, who pulls me in, and makes me forget I'm reading: I'm just listening. I want to be in the story. Show me what your characters can see. Let me feel what they feel. I don't have to like them, but I do have to be curious about them. Keep the pace moving. And then – let's have a satisfying ending. Not twisty – but an ending that illuminates what's come before, and makes you feel, yes: that's how it should be. Beyond that, I love to see that the writer has cared enough about the work to check for spelling errors or typos. Of course, this answer is much easier to produce than a piece of original, engaging writing! That comes from endless reading, and endless practice. So the other thing I'm looking for is evidence that the writer is a reader, who has absorbed the shape of a story through reading other writers' work.
3. How do you adjust to the changes between the long haul of the novel writing process and short fiction?
Badly! When I'm mired in editing and re-drafting, there's nothing more tempting than the idea of a 2,000-word story, neat and perfectly formed (at least in my head). Being able to work on the arc of a short story in one go is hugely satisfying. One way I keep going with the novel (apart from searching out deadlines that make me sit on my chair) is to see each chapter as a short piece. I keep endless lists, and charts, and tick things off as I go, to give an illusion of progress… I'm always curious to see what my characters are up to, but I'm very bad at giving myself time to sink into the world of the book. It was a brilliant boost recently to be longlisted for the Mslexia Novel competition. That's been a great incentive to keep working on the draft.
4. How did you feel to be shortlisted for the inaugural Bridport Prize First Novel Award and how has it impacted your work?
It was a great feeling. I entered on the off-chance, and was thrilled to get down to the final five, out of over 1200. It gave me a huge confidence boost, and the impetus to get on and finish the manuscript. I was lucky enough to meet some lovely people at the prize-giving whose feedback also encouraged me to keep at it.
5. You manage to create great tension in your writing. How do you capture the reader's attention in just a few short paragraphs?
Thank you. By endless re-writing! I have a terrible tendency towards throat-clearing although I'm getting better at cutting to the chase. Before writing fiction I worked as a journalist, and I try to report what's happening so that the reader can be in the story; in the moment. 'Keep Moving' is a useful motto. But it's all down to re-drafting; trying to be clear about the focus of the story; and giving it time to cook.
6. You run creative writing workshops for students. What do you enjoy teaching and what do you use as inspiration?
I love the whole process of engaging with students and hearing their work. I always enjoy workshops on character, but I'm happy to teach viewpoint, dialogue – whatever might be useful. I love being able to talk about the technical process of writing – the tools at the writer's disposal, if you like – and then handing the toolkit over to the students and hearing what they come up with. It's always interesting, and unexpected. I feel privileged when they share it with me.
For inspiration – all sorts of prompts, word games, challenges. I love using physical objects, as well as newspaper and magazine cuttings – anything that catches my eye. My stories have often been prompted by a visual clue, and I hope that works for my students too.
7. Who are your favourite writers or inspiring quotes?
Too many to mention! I love Lucia Berlin's short stories. Sebastian Barry's prose is perfect. One of the best books I've read this year was 'The Paris Wife' by Paula McLain: a fascinating and poignant imagining of Ernest Hemingway's life with his first wife, Hadley. It sent me back to his work with new eyes. I'm currently reading VS Naipaul's 'An Area of Darkness' about his Indian heritage and his life as a writer. And I've just started 'The Dawn Watch', Maya Jasanoff's biography of Joseph Conrad.
The quote I keep on my desk is, 'You get knocked down, you get up again. I also think writers must have great courage, the courage to trust your own life and your own voice.' It's from screenwriter Ashley Pharaoh, who co-wrote 'Life on Mars' (as well as many other things). It inspires me.
8. Can you tell us about the Mechanics' Institute Review 'Reading Allowed' workshop?
It was organized by the editorial team at MIR, as part of the preparations for MIR Live, events around the UK where the MIR#14 authors read extracts from our stories. We learned how important it is to relax before reading. One of the ways to 'loosen up' was to lie on the floor, humming – a good ice breaker! We looked at the kind of extract that works well, read aloud: short, simple and clear. And we practiced reading – and breathing in the right places. It was a fun evening that gave me lots of useful ideas. I've written about it in more detail on my blog: www.sarahhegarty.co.uk The next MIRLive events are in London (November 17) Birmingham (November 23) and Manchester (January 12). It would be great to see you at one of them!
9. If you had an opportunity to ghost write, whose biography would you choose to write and why?
I hate the idea of ghost writing. Each person's voice is unique. I would much rather teach someone how to find that voice, and trust it – and then hear what they have to say.
10. Where and how do you write best, are there better times of the day, or helpful locations?
I spend a lot of time in coffee shops with a pen and notebook, and the intention to write, but I find other people too fascinating and distracting. I can really only write at my desk, surrounded by photos, and cards from friends, inspiring quotes (see above!) and towering piles of books. The other place is Arvon. I've been lucky enough to go on an Arvon course, and it's exhilarating and inspiring to sit at a desk overlooking a peaceful garden, mug of tea to hand – and nothing to do but write until the next meal!
I used to love working late into the night but reality kicked in with family life, and I tend to keep office hours. If I've got a deadline I still might creep back to my desk after dark. While the family sleeps I'll drink endless cups of tea and stare in panic at the screen, and feel like a student again.

The Usual Suspect : Spacey faces second London investigation
The clouds darkening Kevin Spacey's career have darkened further following the news that the actor is facing a second criminal investigation by the Metropolitan Police in London.
Maître Gims se fait encore refuser la nationalité française !
Already under investigation for a 2008 allegation that he had forced himself upon a man in his flat during the 58 year old actor's tenure as the artistic director of the Old Vic theatre in Lambeth, this fresh allegation dates back even further, to 2005.
It is part of a pattern of allegations which has seen twenty men come forward to say that they were the victims of unwanted sexual advances from Spacey during his tenure at the Old vic, which lasted from 2004 to 2015, but so far just two have resulted in criminal investigation.
The 2008 allegation centres on a man's claim that he passed out at Spacey's flat after smoking maruijuana with him. Upon awakening, he discovered Spacey performing oral sex on him.
A Metropolitan Police statement, not specifically naming Spacey said:
"It is alleged a man assaulted another man (Victim 1) in 2008 in Lambeth. On Friday, November 17 a further allegation was made about the same man. The allegations are of sexual assaults against a man (Victim 2) in 2005 in Lambeth. Officers from the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command are investigating."
The embattled Oscar winner's career is already suffering after accusations of sexual advances made to the actor Anthony Rapp when the latter was only 14. Since then, more than twelve men have added their accusations to a damning chorus which leaves the tarnished star in career limbo. Cut adrift by his representation and dropped from the hit Netflix show "House of Cards", which had done so much to bring the actor's work to a new generation of viewers, he even suffered the ignominy of having his entire part in the forthcoming Ridley Scott film "All the Money in the World" re-shot with Christopher Plummer, Scott reasoning the extra expense worth it not to be associated with the now toxic Spacey brand.
With a second appointment with the Met looming, he's discovering that a gigantic critical reputation is no protection against allegations of sexual misconduct.

According to yet another report, white Zim farmers who lost their farms to land grabs are getting closer to compensation.
Over the last few months, there have been multiple reports on Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa's plans to rebuild the agricultural industry of his country. While the reports indicated that the new President will look to encourage white Zimbabwean farmers to return home, things looked to be moving ahead slowly.
Now, a report from Daily News indicates that the government has set up a committee to spearhead the compensation process for white farmers who had their land seized during the controversial and violent land reform program.
According to the report, President Mnangagwa appointed Ringson Chitsiko, the permanent secretary of the land and agriculture ministry, to chair this new committee until October 2019.
"It is hereby notified in terms of Section 29A (1) of the Land Acquisition Act (Chapter 20:10) that the minister of Lands, Agriculture and Rural Resettlement, has appointed (Mr) Ringson John Chitsiko as the chairperson of the Compensation Committee for the period of 20 months, commencing on January 10 2018 to October 1 2019." – an extract seen from the Zimbabwean Government's Gazette.
With original reports of "17 million acres of land" being taken from white farmers together with equipment, livestock and personal positions, some white farmers have called for compensation of $9 billion. With government being broke, though, it isn't clear where the money is going to come from to get farmers going again, even though the desire seems to be there from Mnangagwa.
"We must compensate our farmers in line with our laws." – Mnangagwa during his inauguration speech.
Another recent development for farmers came as Local Government minister July Moyo directed officials to immediately issue white commercial farmers with 99-year leases. As per the previous arrangement for these farmers, they only received five-year leases.
Will the current Zimbabwean leadership be able to get the country going again by enticing farmers to come back to their country and set up shop again?


The California Association of Private Postsecondary Schools (CAPPS) recently recognized North-West College (NWC) student Cherie Hester as the recipient of the 2017 Marsha Fuerst Memorial Scholarship. Created to honor the legacy of North-West College Founder Marsha Fuerst, the $3,000 award is designed for female students currently enrolled in a Medical Assistant program and open to students at any CAPPS member school.
"We are so very proud of Cherie and were so excited to hear she had won this award!" shared NWC Pomona Campus Director Michelle MacIntyre, who nominated Cherie for the scholarship along with Medical Assistant Instructor Kathryn Aguirre. "We can't think of anyone more deserving of this honor."
Cherie Hester enrolled in North-West College's Medical Assistant program in 2016 after deciding to return to Medical Assisting following a 10-year absence. She knew the College's program would not only help her brush up on previously learned skills, but also prepare her to succeed in the rapidly advancing health care field.
Cherie attends NWC with her son, Greg, who is also pursuing a career as a Medical Assistant. They are set to graduate from the program at the same time—celebrating this significant milestone together.

Brennan Dickenson believes he is in the form of his life after helping to boost Colchester United's promotion hopes.
Dickenson struck the U's opening goal in their 4-0 thrashing of fellow play-off hopefuls Stevenage and has now netted 11 times in League Two, this season.
The 24-year-old has been one of Colchester's stand-out players in the current campaign, having joined them on a free transfer from Gillingham, last summer.
Having predominantly played as a left wing-back for the U's over recent months, Dickenson says he is enjoying his football more than ever.
Dickenson said: "I'd say the spell I'm having at the moment is probably the best in my career.
"I've had a few good seasons but this is probably the best.
"I'm happy to have got 11 goals and I didn't expect it myself.
"The manager has put the confidence in me to go out and play the way I need to play and I think I've done that quite well.
"I'm quite versatile in being able to play wing-back and some games I like it and others I don't – it depends if we're winning or not.
Colchester completed an impressive double over Stevenage, having won 4-2 at Broadhall Way on New Year's Eve.
It has drawn them to within two points of the play-off places with five games remaining and Dickenson says the U's players are feeling confident they can achieve something special, this season.
"To put eight goals past Stevenage in the two games that we've played against them is excellent for us," said the former Brighton and Hove Albion youngster.
"I still think we could have got more goals in the second half but we'll take the win.
"The amount of pressure we put on them they showed they couldn't really take that and that showed with the pressure we put on.
"The manager has instilled into us over the last week that we can still get into the play-offs.
"It's a funny league and it's up and down but the players believe and we're a young, confident bunch and I think that showed against Stevenage.

NYSPHSAA Postpones State Date for High Risk Winter Sports
NYSPHSAA Postpones Start Date for High Risk Winter Sports
Low and moderate risk sports on schedule to begin November 30th
Latham, NY – The New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) has announced the start date for high risk winter sports (basketball, competitive cheer, ice hockey and wrestling) will be moved to January 4, 2021. Until authorization is granted by state officials, NYSPHSAA member schools are not permitted to participate in sports determined to be high risk by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). Low and moderate risk winter sports will be permitted to begin on November 30th as previously determined by NYSPHSAA.
"The NYSPHSAA membership has expressed concerns pertaining to the increase in infection rates," said Dr. Robert Zayas, NYSPHSAA Executive Director. "Minimizing risk and exposure to COVID-19 is a top priority of the Association. We continue to make these types of decisions based upon readily available information and communication with state officials."
Low and moderate risk winter sport practices (bowling, gymnastics, indoor track & field, skiing, and swimming & diving) are still on schedule to begin on November 30th for those schools and sections who have determined it feasible to host interscholastic athletics at that time. Regular season games/contests can begin for low and moderate risk winter sports once student-athletes have participated in the required number of practices as per NYSPHSAA bylaws.
"NYSPHSAA's leadership recognizes the numerous challenges interscholastic programs are experiencing and the obstacles associated with resuming high risk sports," said Julie Bergman, NYSPHSAA President. "While it is certainly the goal of the Association to provide all students with the ability to participate in interscholastic athletics we must remain steadfast in our decisions to ensure the safety of our athletes is our focus."
At this time, all winter NYSPHSAA State Championship events remain as scheduled.
The New York State Public High School Athletic Association Inc. is a non-profit, voluntary, educational service organization composed of public, parochial, and private schools dedicated to providing equitable and safe competition for the students of its member schools. The organization conducts 32 championship events and governs the rules and regulations of high school athletics in New York State. Membership is open to secondary schools providing interschool athletic activities for boys and girls in grades 7-12.

J.R. Rider Said Shaq Offered Him $10K to Fight Kobe Three Days After He Joined the Lakers
Big Tennessee4/14/2020 5:26 PM
It's no secret that Shaq and Kobe weren't always on great terms. And while it probably wasn't meant to be funny at the time, this seems like a pretty lighthearted story about their relationship now.
On Stephen Jackson's 'All The Smoke' podcast, former Laker J.R. Rider revealed that just days into his tenure with the team, Shaq made it very clear he could earn some extra money if he got into it with Kobe.
"So when I first get to the Lakers, Shaq tells me, 'If you and Kobe get into it, it's 10 Gs in the locker," Rider said. "'There's 10 Gs in one dollar bills, man, if you ever get into it and handle your business, grab that.'"
Given that Rider said this offer came on his third day as a member of the lakers, it's logical to assume Shaq made this offer to seemingly every player on the team. i would love to know if any player ever collected the $10,000, though I don't know who would admit to doing it.
It's so crazy to think about how awesome those Lakers teams were with two stars who, for the majority of their careers, hated each other. But when you have two of the greatest players to ever do it on the same team, both with justifiably large egos, it's not inconceivable that they wouldn't love each other immediately. Shaq probably isn't too far off when he says they could have won 10 championships if they had just gotten along.
RIP Kobe.

Left Political School of Activism - theory and practice walking side by side
By Bora Mema | 23 Feb 20 | Posted under: Western Balkans , Albania , Central and Eastern Europe , Youth and Students
Fall 2019 was quite an intense and fruitful period for the young and new activists specially among students. More students were coming back to the capital to the University of Tirana from their hometowns, the academic year is about to start and so is the ongoing struggle.
Source: Author's archive. Activism in practice.
Under these circumstances the Left Political School of Activism organised by the Institute for Critique and Social Emancipation (ICSE) and supported by transform! europe was held in Tirana, Albania during October and November 2019, a program which aims to foster active participation and raise the emancipatory political consciousness of the subordinated and marginalized social groups, students included.
This is not the first time that a left political school is held and this comes as a second phase after they were self-organized in a Summer School in 2019 so this Left Political School of Activism was thought as ongoing process of political education of the activists who have joined from December 2018 Students uprising or later.
Due to the neoliberal hegemonic discourse which is quite presents in the public debate, academia or even translated literature in Albanian these last 30 years, it is really important that the activists among the left to have an intro to the Marxist materialist method and view of history, on how and why capitalism works and fails, the role of modern revolutions, the neoliberal reforms in higher education-what for more than 6 years are being opposed in a persistent way and the fight for public education in the modern and contemporary history of Albania. The school is not thought as an intellectual course of lectures, or going into deep theoretical details. Among the left we are way more than done with that. Our focus is to grow intellectually but being among the people in the field more. Praxis is what we need.
One of the most interesting activities of the school was a workshop about street art as a political mean which was followed by different activities on field; how to prepare stencils, banners, spraying, sticking and putting into practice all what was learned since on the meantime the activists were campaigning and organizing a protest against the high tuition and the cuts in scholarships. Unfortunately, a tragic earthquake stroke Albania, a few days before the protest so it had to be cancelled.
Nevertheless, these actions on the walls on the Student's Campus about the living conditions, tuition, lack of services were useful not only as a mean to bring more attention to what was happening but to open a discussion among students about what the government yet has not fulfilled as promised in the last massive protests. Still, their activity was not interrupted.
Beside, being on the field to help the people in the poorest neighborhoods affected by the earthquake, these activist joined the miners' strike in Bulqiza and helped in the organizing process. But the most important they used their skills in Tirana to call for a boycott campaign against the businesses owned by main oligarch in Albania, Samir Mane after he dismissed 4 miners due to founding an independent union. The campaign had a crucial role to raise the awareness about what was going on by distributing leaflets, hanging banners, graffiti, stickers and so on. This pressure made the company step back at least for a period.
These activists have their daily activity in the university mostly due to the fact that they are students, but this does not stop them to engage when needed in the labour cause. You could hear them cheering the rhyming line in Albanian "Studentë e punëtorë, të ardhmen kanë në dorë!" – "The future lies in students' and workers' hands!".
Although the media censured what happened in the mines, the activists take care that the citizens of Tirana remember it daily by reading the walls. Tirana wakes up differently since its walls now speak politically.
And as Gramsci would put it: "Educate yourself, because we will need all our intelligence. Agitate because we will need all our enthusiasm. Organize, because we will need all of our strength".

When setting up your brand's social media profiles, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the massive variety of platforms you have to choose from. The trick is knowing which social networks suit your business best before you get started.
To keep things simple for you, here's a straightforward guide to which social media platforms you should choose based on your industry.
With over 2 billion users, Facebook is the world's largest social media platform. Therefore, if you're a B2C (business-to-consumer) brand, FB should absolutely be among your chosen social media marketing channels.
Because FB is meant entirely for leisure/personal use, it's not really suitable for B2B companies.
Who should be using Facebook?
Twitter is arguably the most diverse platform when it comes to social media marketing. This is because its user base and functionality make it a useful promotional tool for just about any business.
With that said, there are some industries that tend to find more success than most on Twitter. Because of its bulletin board setup, the platform is especially useful for bloggers, public speakers and other self-employed businesspeople.
Who should be using Twitter?
Despite having been around since 2010, Instagram has enjoyed a surge in recent times and is now the world's fastest growing social media platform. It currently boasts over 1 billion users.
Being primarily a photo sharing platform, Instagram is suitable for any brand whose promotions are visual-based. So, if your business happens to be in travel, fashion or beauty, Instagram is an essential marketing tool.
LinkedIn is a social media network with a difference – whereas other platforms are designed for leisure, LinkedIn is intended strictly for professional purposes. Because of this, it is ideally suited for B2B individuals and companies looking to exchange knowledge and services (just make sure you do things the right way).
Who should be using LinkedIn?
Strictly speaking, YouTube is much more than just a social media platform – it's also a television network and streaming service rolled into one. However, with regards to digital marketing, it's important to understand and appreciate YouTube's social media elements. In essence, YT allows anyone to distribute quality video content to a large audience (1.3 billion, according to recent stats).
With this in mind, any business whose products or services can be showcased in video format should look at creating content for YouTube ('How to' user guides are especially effective). Of course, this can be more time-consuming and costly than creating other social media content, but the potential for ROI makes it worth considering.
Who should be using YouTube?
Are there any other social media platforms you're considering for digital marketing purposes? Get in touch with us to check if they're a good fit for you.

Movies: Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival channels 'rebellious spirit of Molly Maguires'
The poster for Jim Thorpe's first Independent Film Festival, created by Tomas de Vasconcellos to capture its dark, irreverent and rebellious spirit. (Jim Thorpe Independent Film Fest)
Running Thursday to Sunday, , the first Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival aims to unsettle viewers and upend expectations with movies that "shatter convention and incite spirited debate."
Organizer Todd Morris says the festival channels "the rebellious spirit of the Molly Maguires, welcoming the boldest, most defiant filmmakers."
Screening at the Mauch Chunk Opera House are nine feature films and 77 shorts, most of which will have area premieres.
"I've been to a lot of film festivals over the years, from Cannes — seven times — to the grittiest of underground festivals, and I can truly say that I'm incredibly proud of our films and I stand behind all of them 100 percent," says Morris, a filmmaker ("A Gun For Jennifer") who moved to Jim Thorpe in 2014.
Selections range from American independents to movies from Egypt, Russia, Germany and Spain. There are comedies, thrillers, romances, horror films, documentaries and LGBT fare.
"I'd say most of our films have a dark, irreverent, rebellious tone and will definitely press buttons and take the viewers on a journey far from their safe spaces," Morris says.
A highlight is the opening night attraction "The Pine Barrens," a documentary about the densely forested reserve that dominates parts of South Jersey. Helping to make the screening special is the Ruins of Friendship Orchestra that will perform the movie's score live. The event is at 7 p.m.
While "The Pine Barrens" showcases Jersey, plenty of other films illuminate Pennsylvania, including "Centralia," a documentary about the abandoned Columbia County town that lost almost all its inhabitants as a result of a massive underground coal fire in 1962.
Other Pennsylvania-related entries include the animated black comedy "Life is Pain" from Hazleton's Tedd Hazard; Philadelphian Amy Frear's "Selkie," a fantasy about a mermaid caught by a Fishtown fisherman; Philadelphian Kate Kelsen's "Little Red Truck," which pivots on a youngster who comes to regret a toy he purchased with stolen money; Jim Thorpe resident Victor Stabin's surrealistic cautionary tale "The Bonito Is Finito;" Philadelphian Wesley Mellott's couple-on-the-run thriller "Marbletown," which was shot in Scranton; and Eric Szollosy's stream-of-consciousness "Fool's Chair," which was shot in Jim Thorpe.
"This being a Pennsylvania festival, I felt it was only right to celebrate the wonderful filmmakers who make their art here in our own backyard," Morris says.
The shorts and features are cleverly programmed into blocks that spotlight experimentation, grindhouse fare, action, issues of identity, justice, young love and "the dark side."
"Like the tagline of our festival implies — come to the Jim Thorpe Independent Film Festival with your 'Eyes and Minds Wide Open,'" Morris says. "And we definitely mean that!"

Lake Tahoe Circle Tour Part 3; US Route 50 and Cave Rock
Following completing California State Route 28 and Nevada State Route 28 I turned west on US 50 towards the California State line along the east shore of Lake Tahoe.
This blog post is the third in the Lake Tahoe Circle Tour Series. The first two entries in this series can be found below.
Lake Tahoe Circle Tour Part 1; CA 89, former CA 188, Fallen Leaf Lake, Emerald Bay State Park, and the Truckee River
Lake Tahoe Circle Tour Part 2; CA 28 and NV 28
US Route 50 from Carson City west to California State Line largely follows the previous paths of the Walton Toll Road and Lake Tahoe Toll Road. The Walton Toll Road was opened 1862 and followed Kings Canyon westward over Spooner Summit to the saw mills of Glenbrook on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. In 1863 the Lake Bigler Toll Road Company bought out the Walton Toll Road and consolidated it with the Lake Tahoe Road to the south which at the time took the Kingsbury Grade to Carson City. Connecting the Walton Toll Road with the Lake Tahoe Road required building a one-lane trestle bridge around the western edge of the Washoe Scared Site known as Cave Rock. There had a previous primitive road around Cave Rock as early as the 1840s.
On a previous blog I wrote about the Cave Rock trestle bridge and it's tunnel replacement from 1931:
"The Cave Rock Tunnel is a dual-bore tunnel through a rock formation of the same name. The Cave Rock Tunnel was intended as a replacement of the original alignment of US 50 which was routed on the South Branch of the Lincoln Highway. Prior to the Cave Rock Tunnel being built traffic had to use a one-lane swing bridge located on the edge of Cave Rock which dated back to 1863. Ruins of the bridge abutment are still present on the western section of Cave Rock overlooking Lake Tahoe.
The 1931 Cave Rock Tunnel bore is 157 feet in length and presently serves US 50 West traffic. The eastbound Cave Rock Tunnel much longer at 410 feet in length and was completed in 1957. When I arrived at Cave Rock in 2016 the 1931 bore was under going a seismic retrofit which included a concrete liner and a rock shed on the end of the tunnel.
The link below shows a photo of the original Cave Rock alignment of US 50 next to the 1931 bore.
http://www.cityconcierge.com/lake-tahoe/activities/cave-rock.asp
I was provided with a link by NE2 on AAroads for the book; Cave Rock: Climbers, Courts, and a Washoe Indian Scared Place which shows the Cave Rock Trestle Bridge.
Cave Rock, Climbers, Courts, and a Washoe Indian Scared Place"
Much of the Walton Toll Road still exists north of the current US Route 50 from Carson City west to Glenbrook on:
- King Street in Carson City.
- Kings Canyon Road to Spooner Summit.
- Old Highway 50 to Glenbrook
The consolidated Walton Toll Road and Lake Tahoe Toll Road from Carson City west to the California State Line around Cave Rock can be viewed on this 1873 Topographical Map of the Lake Tahoe area.
1873 Lake Tahoe Topographical Map
In 1913 the Walton Toll Road and Lake Tahoe Toll Road became part of the south route of the Lincoln Highway. By 1926 US Route 50 was assigned to the south route of the Lincoln Highway which was over the Walton Toll Road and Tahoe Toll Road as seen on this 1927 Nevada State Highway Map.
1927 Nevada State Highway Map
By 1929 it appears that much of the Kings Canyon Road grade to Spooner Summit was replaced by a more modern routing to the south which US 50 was assigned.
From the terminus of NV 28 I turned west on US 50 towards the California State Line.
Glenbrook is signed as being only 3 miles west of NV 28 on US 50. Glenbrook is the oldest settlement on Lake Tahoe having been settled in 1860. The first sawmill in Glenbrook opened a year later which serviced the Comstock Lode towns to the east with a supply of lumber.
US 50 is the only highway circling Lake Tahoe which is entirely four lanes. For the most part US 50 on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe is a high quality expressway.
Approaching Cave Rock US 50 crosses through the community of Galilee.
At the Logan Shoals Vista Point Cave Rock can be observed from the north and there is a small historical plaque detailing the history of Cave Rock. Cave Rock is weathered volcanic core that has origins dating back 3 million years ago.
Cave Rock was recently renovated was concrete liners which can be seen driving the tunnel bores.
South of Cave Rock there is a turn off for Cave Rock Drive which serves as access to the Cave Rock Trail.
The Cave Rock trail is a short trail which heads to the top of Cave Rock. The grades to the top Cave Rock are easy until the very end. I thought the top of Cave Rock was passable by my significant other was a little nervous about me making an attempt in running shoes. Nonetheless the views of US 50 below Cave Rock were worth the trip.
Descending Cave Rock Drive offers a nice northward view of US 50 through Cave Rock.
NV 207 is listed 3 miles west on US 50 near Cave Rock Drive and State Line is shown as 4 miles away.
NV 207 ascends over the Kingsbury Grade eastward to NV 206 in Mottsville.
Prior to the 1976 Nevada State Highway renumbering NV 207 was part of NV 19 which appears first on the 1929 State Highway Map.
US 50 in Nevada as signed as part of two historic trails; The Pony Express and California Trail. Both shields below are evident upon entering State Line.
US 50 enters California at South Lake Tahoe of El Dorado County at State Line Avenue to very little fanfare.
US 50 along the south shore of Lake Tahoe to California State Route 89 is known as Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Lake Tahoe Boulevard and US 50 west to Placerville follows the general path of a route surveyed in 1852 over Johnson Pass. This route became the Lake Tahoe Road in 1858 and was a franchise toll facility. The Lake Tahoe Road was the first State Highway authorized in California which was Chapter 128 of the Legislative Minutes in 1895. The Lake Tahoe Road eventually became a part of Legislative Route Number 11.
CAhighways.org on Early State Highways
South Lake Tahoe is by far the largest community along Lake Tahoe with an approximate population of 21,000. There are some fantastic views of Lake Tahoe from the south shore looking northward.
Modern US 50 generally takes 70-80 minutes to cross the Sierras to Placerville. The original routing of US 50 and CA 89 would have continued on Lake Tahoe Boulevard ahead of the photos below.
I previously wrote about US 50 over Echo Summit and the previous alignment history over Johnson Pass which can be found here.

Q: Subtracting two HTML fields and showing result asap JavaScript I am not very experienced in JS. I have two fields for input in HTML in which the first user enters amount to withdraw and datas goes into JavaScript, it subtracts 0.00200000 and show it in second HTML input field (readonly field):-
Html:-

function calculate() {
  var myBox1 = document.getElementById('ant').value;
  var myBox2 = 0.00200000;
  var result = document.getElementById('bank').value;
  var numb = myBox1 - myBox2;
  numb = numb.toFixed(8);
  result.value = numb;
}

Amount
<input class="input100" type="text" name="amount" id="ant" placeholder="Amount to Send" oninput="calculate()">

     Tx Fee:-0.00200000 LiteCoin (LTC)

Your receive: - <input class="input100" type="text" id="bank" placeholder="Amount you receive" oninput="calculate()" readonly>
     <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Withdraw">

When I put value in 1st input field in my page second field never gets any value

A: A small mistake:
var result = document.getElementById('bank').value;

needs to be
var result = document.getElementById('bank');

result need to represent the element itself, not its value. Otherwise you can't then change its value.
Strictly you also ought to use parseFloat() to avoid JS thinking the value from your "ant" textbox is a string and treating it as such. Luckily in this case you're operating against a fixed value, but if you'd tried to subtract two textbox values (both strings) you'd have had a bigger issue.
Also oninput="calculate()" in the "bank" element is redundant. Since the field is read only, there can never be any user input to trigger the function.

function calculate() {
  var myBox1 = parseFloat(document.getElementById('ant').value);
  var myBox2 = 0.00200000;
  var result = document.getElementById('bank');
  var numb = myBox1 - myBox2;
  numb = numb.toFixed(8);
  result.value = numb;
}

Amount
<input class="input100" type="text" name="amount" id="ant" placeholder="Amount to Send" oninput="calculate()">

Tx Fee:-0.00200000 LiteCoin (LTC)

Your receive: -
<input class="input100" type="text" id="bank" placeholder="Amount you receive" readonly>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Withdraw">

A: There are two issues in your code for which second field never gets any value:

*

*document.getElementById('bank').value should be only document.getElementById('bank') so that the assignment to result variable works for result.value

*You need to use parseFloat() to parse the number you input in the first text box as a floating point number assuming user can input float values. This is because when you read a value from a text box using JavaScript it is considered as a String type and for numeric calculations you need to cast that to a valid Number type.

function calculate() {
  var myBox1 = parseFloat(document.getElementById('ant').value);
  var myBox2 = 0.00200000;
  var result = document.getElementById('bank');
  var numb = myBox1 - myBox2;
  numb = numb.toFixed(8);
  result.value = numb;
}

Amount
<input class="input100" type="text" name="amount" id="ant" placeholder="Amount to Send" oninput="calculate()">

                Tx Fee:-0.00200000 LiteCoin (LTC)

Your receive: - <input class="input100" type="text" id="bank" placeholder="Amount you receive" oninput="calculate()" readonly>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Withdraw">

Stanley Tucci Reveals Cancer Diagnosis 3 Years Later
By Pat Carragher - September 03, 2021
Stanley Tucci recently revealed that he had been diagnosed with cancer three years ago. In an interview with Vera Magazine, the actor shared that doctors found a tumor at the base of his tongue. Tucci explained the tumor was "too big to operate" on so he underwent radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Treatments were successful and the illness is unlikely to return, according to Tucci.
According to the American Cancer Society, about 54,000 Americans will be diagnosed with oral cavity or oropharyngeal cancer this year, with nearly 11,000 deaths. Oral cavity and oropharyngeal cancers occur most often in the tongue, tonsils, gums, and floor of the mouth.
The actor also shared that his treatment included six months using of a feeding tube and feeling extremely weak and fatigued. The disease proved to be difficult on his family.
"The kids were great, but it was hard for them," said Tucci. "I could barely make it to the twins' high school graduation."
Thrilled to have my interview with the as-great-as-you'd-hope Stanley Tucci on the cover of the brilliant new Vera magazine. We talked negronis and lockdown and loss, and he revealed his own struggle with cancer https://t.co/T2U1rWQBal
— Ed Cumming (@edcumming) September 1, 2021
Unfortunately, Tucci is no stranger to cancer. His first wife, Kate Spath-Tucci, died of breast cancer in 2009 at age 47. Watching her go through treatment initially left Tucci reluctant to go through his own.
"I'd vowed I'd never do anything like that," said Tucci. "Because my first wife died of cancer, and having to watch her go through those treatments for years was horrible. [Cancer] makes you more afraid and less afraid at the same time. I feel much older than I did before I was sick, but you still want to get ahead and get things done."
Tucci is among many who chose to keep their diagnosis a secret. Even though most cancer patients don't have celebrity status, they often struggle with the decision to share their diagnosis publicly or even with close friends and family.
Dr. Margarita Bobonis Babilonia, vice chair, Supportive Care Program
"The timing for disclosing a cancer diagnosis is an individualized choice. Such timing can be influenced by the perceived impact on loved ones or meaning or prior memories attached to the disease. Sometimes patients conceal it for fear of losing control or unleashing uncomfortable emotions. Others could be trying to protect young children, a struggling spouse or elderly parents. Fear of losing yourself or your identity to cancer can also influence disclosing the diagnosis," said Dr. Margarita Bobonis Babilonia, vice chair of the Supportive Care Program at Moffitt Cancer Center. "In the beginning, patients may experience shame, embarrassment or guilt about the disease if there is a belief they may have contributed to becoming ill in any form. Others may experience distress, anxiety, fear, sadness or even anger which could affect everyone."
While challenging, talking about your diagnosis with your providers or a therapist can help normalize such diverse expressions of emotions and help you focus on what matters most: you. Discussions with loved ones can also help alleviate the emotional and physical burdens and assist you in rallying your support system. Keeping a blog or a diary or sharing information electronically with a selective group can be another option to communicate updates on your journey with those who care about you the most.
"Remind them that you are still you and that it's OK to just be there for you without saying anything," Bobonis said. "You can also provide some guidance on if it is OK or not to ask questions."

Feeling Chipper This Morning
This weekend marks the Braves final visit to Citizens Bank in 2012. Oh, the Bravos will be back in 2013, but for the first time since 1995 Chipper Jones will not make the trip. Jones plans on retiring once the 2012 season ends, ending on of the best careers of all-time. He will retire as the best switch-hitter of all time, and one of the best third baseman ever. Were it not for some injury problems later in his career, Jones would have achieved the 3,000 hits and 500 home runs. Jones is a shoe in for the Hall of Fame despite not reaching these two milestones. Every stadium he visits for the last time is special, and marked as thus by the home team. Even in New York, where Jones would torch the Mets over and over again, to the point that which he names a son of his Shea after the Mets former stadium, the fans gave him a standing ovation.
Phillies fans didn't disappoint, giving Larry "Chipper" Jones an ovation, during a small ceremony in which Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins presented the lifelong Atlanta Brave with a painting of Jones that invoked all sorts of NL East memories.
In othernews, a day before the series began with the Phillies; Braves rookies got together, dressed up in ridiculous costumes, and took some photographs. In typical Chipper Jones style, knowing he'll never get this chance again, Jones joined the Braves neophytes. He sported gold chains and what looks like a red smoking jacket.

Authentically Speaking Trivia Time: Where does the name Washington Nationals come from? Answer on Monday.
Friday's answer: While in Philadelphia, NY Giants Manager John McGraw said the Ben Shibe, owner of the A's, had a "white elephant" on his hands. Connie Mack, A's manager, then presented McGraw, a friend of his, with a white elephant at the beginning of the 1905 World Series. The Elephant was adopted as the mascot of the A's, and over the next 100 years retired and brought back. The A's batting practice hats have an elephant on them.

Barrel Wrangling with Kevin Curtis
Did you know that a 53-gallon whiskey barrel can hold up to 525 pounds of spirit? That means we want to move them as efficiently (and little) as possible. After all, any movement increases the risk damaging the barrel and leakage, and if there's one thing we hate, it's losing good whiskey. A barrel's weakest spot is its bung, and it's at the bunghole (stop laughing) that you have the highest risk for leaks.
Now naturally you want to make sure that when the barrel comes to rest in the ricks, that the bung is facing up, preferably in the 12 o'clock position. We talked with our Distillery Operations Manager Kevin Curtis to find out how they get it done as efficiently as possible. "The length of ricks can vary, so it takes some trial and error at first. But once you figure out the starting position, it goes pretty quickly."
"Let's say we determine that a barrel with its bung at 3 o'clock during the starting position will end up with its bung at 12 o'clock when it comes to rest at the back of the rick. From there, we add increments of three to four hours to each subsequent barrel. So if you started the first barrel with its bung at 3 o'clock, the second one would go in with its bung positioned at 7 o'clock. The third would be 11 and so on. Generally you work in pairs with a spotter back in the ricks checking on barrel placement, and you always have to adjust a bit, but if the barrel ends up with its bung between 11 and 1 o'clock, you're in good shape."

Q: How to add different child components to component I'm new to react. I'm trying to create the following structure for a component in react:
<Sidebar>
  <Box>
    <Title/>
    <Item/>
    <Item/>
  </Box>
  <Box>
    <Title/>
    <Switch/>
  </Box>
</Sidebar>

I can include the Title component in the Box component and pass each title value through props. How do I include the Item component in just the first Box component and not the second?
Is the best way to pass the Item and Switch components into the Box components as props?

A: There are quite a few ways to do what you're asking and really it really depends on where you are going with your program.

*

*Multiple Types of Box components (with different names)

*Wrap all of you sub-components in a div, and pass that div to your Box's 'children' prop. (Slightly changes your hierarchy).
Example
<Box children={
<Title/><Item/><Item/>
}/>
<Box children={
<Title/><Item/>
}/>

Hierarchy
<Sidebar>
  <Box>

      <Title/>
      <Item/>
      <Item/>

  </Box>
  <Box>

      <Title/>
      <Switch/>

  </Box>
</Sidebar>

*

*More fancy, build your sub-components from an array or other JS object that you pass as a prop and have a function inside 'Box' that reads that array and builds your sub components.

A: Leverage the special children prop in order to render arbitrary children:

*

*children is a default prop passed implicitly to every component

*this children prop is automatically populated with any elements contained within the parent component

*instead of using props.children you can destructure props and use ({ children(, ...otherProps) }) instead

In action:
Box.js
const Box = ({ children }) => (

    {children}

)

Sidebar.js
const Sidebar = ({ children }) => (

    {children}

)

App.js
import React from 'react'

import Sidebar from './path/to/Sidebar'
import Box from './path/to/Box'

class App extends React.Component {
  constructor() {
    super()
    // state or whatever
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <Sidebar>
        <Box>
          {/*
            Anything you put in here (other components
            included) will be automatically rendered
          */}
        </Box>
        <Box>
          {/* Same here */}
        </Box>
      </Sidebar>
    )
  }

Singapore Sling (1990)
Movie Review by The Spastic Cannibal
One of the strangest movies out there, if you ask me. "Singapore Sling" is a generous assembly of all things SLEAZE as well as a crafty blend of 'noir' and aesthetic connotation.
A boozer detective with a bullet wound is found on the doorstep of a mother and daughter's manor where he is subjected to torture and sexual dominance. The purpose lies in the fact that the detective is looking for a woman whom the psychotic mother-daughter duo killed and buried in the garden. Despite their incestuous infatuation with one another, the daughter begins a seductive role play with the captive man, taking on the identity of the dead woman which sparks animosity among the relatives until the shit, undoubtedly, hits the fan...
Directed by Greek film maker Nikos Nikolaidis, "Singapore Sling" initiates an irregular composite of surrealism, fetishism, comedy, and horror within a bleak and claustrophobic milieu. The element of isolation is done very well and adds to the unique, foreboding charm the movie ignited almost immediately.
The two female leads are terrifically unlikable and oddly attractive in their self-degradation, schizophrenia, and sexually deviant antics. For some reason, I found the sea food dinner scene troubling. I can't rightly explain it, but I truly hated these women after that part.
You can expect pretty much everything from "Singapore Sling", such as puking on faces, pissing on people, fruit masturbation, electro-shock torture, and mummy rape (?). That said, it's not a perfect film. A little slow at times, but otherwise it comes with a recommendation. Not for everyone and lovers of hardcore 'sleaze' and brutality may be a tad disappointed, but if you dig fruitful, different cinema than give it a look...

You are the most important part of the interior design process.
By spending time with you in your home, and learning about your style, I will get to know your likes and dislikes. I'm well practised at asking the right questions to explore how you use the space yourself, as a couple or as a family. We can discuss challenges you have with particular rooms, and look at any problem areas you'd like to address.
Only by taking time to understand all these things can I come up with a design that is both beautiful to you, and functional. But more importantly one that you feel you have been fully involved in creating.
I'd love to hear from you, please get in touch to discuss an opportunity to work together.

That's perhaps because @medium is less and less part of the web.
Guessing from the header image... was, ironically, the article about Google surveillance?
Imagine what it would look like in Europe with the GDPR consent banners on there, too.
Agreed. Overstepping the boundaries of the readers has the effect of censoring the authors, sometimes.
I fall to see how a publisher choosing to put crap on their own website has anything to do with the delivery method of said crap.
Surprised to see actual content on the screen. It's usually covered by cookie agreements (two, each introduced by a different law).
We bought the lie that we didn't have to pay for it. What if brands/pros on @Twitter and @instagram paid a few dollars a month for features? Or we paid $10 a year for email hosting? Companies could have still been profitable without selling out their "customers" to advertisers.
off-tangent. Google auto-prompting users to login to websites that use google login is single handedly one of the reasons I'll never for the life of me be a user of their browser. It's annoying, intrusive and baffling that someone thought "oh, this sounds like a good idea".
I saw that too, so I stopped using @Medium altogether.
Reader mode on mobile Safari is a great way to avoid all this rubbish.


Lawrence police responded to a report of gunshots at a west Lawrence apartment complex early Sunday morning and found several shell casings.
Emergency dispatchers received a call from a witness who heard gunfire about 2:30 a.m. near the 4700 block of West 27th Street. According to Sgt. Adam Heffley, Lawrence police department, officers were unable to locate any victims or suspects. Heffley said no damage has been reported yet, and police are still investigating the incident.

False positives are alarms for non-specific files or behavior that is flagged as malicious, while in fact there were no bad intentions present.
What are false positives?
False positive, which is sometimes written as f/p, is an expression commonly used in cybersecurity to denote that a file or setting has been flagged as malicious when it's not.
In statistics, false positives are called Type I errors, because they check for a particular condition and wrongly give an affirmative (positive) decision. The opposite of this is false negative, or Type II error, which checks for a particular condition is not true when, in fact, it is. In this blog post, we will focus on false positives in cybersecurity, but note that false negatives in this field are commonly referred to as "misses." So "misses" are malicious files or malicious behavior that the scanner or protection software did not detect.
Possible causes of false positives
The most common causes of false positives are:
Heuristics: decisions are made on minimal bits of information
Behavioral analysis: decisions are made based on behavior, and the legitimate file shows behavior that is usually considered malicious
Machine learning: sometimes we see the effects of "garbage in, garbage out," or more politely put, "training did not take certain situations into account."
Let's give some examples of these causes.
An example rule for a heuristic detection could be this: if this file claims to be from Microsoft, but it is not signed with the Microsoft certificate, then we assume the file has malicious intentions. A false positive could occur in the rare case that Microsoft forgot to sign the file.
One detection vector in spotting the behavior of ransomware is if a program starts deleting shadow copies. Some ransomware families do this to ensure the victim has no backups. But you can imagine a cleanup utility that deletes old shadow copies, which could possibly be flagged as displaying malicious activity, right?
Machine learning is done by feeding the system vast amounts of training data. Mistakes or ambiguities in the training data can lead to errors in the detections.
Designing detection rules for yet-unknown malicious files or behavior is always a balance of trying to cover as many of them as possible without triggering any false positives and, understandably, this can go wrong sometimes.
A much less common cause for false detections is deliberate false positives. The most well-known false positive is the EICAR test file, a computer file that was developed by the European Institute for Computer Antivirus Research to verify the response of antivirus programs without having to use real malware. Note that Malwarebytes for Windows does not detect the EICAR file and Malwarebytes for Mac only detects it under exceptional circumstances. This is by design.
But history has also brought us deliberate false positives as a way to test if an anti-malware software is using detections made by their competitors.
False positives are alarms for non-specific files or behavior that is flagged as malicious, while in fact there were no bad intentions present. They are caused by rules that try to catch as many malicious events as possible, which sometimes fail by picking up something legitimate.

Q: Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and homogeneous Sobolev space Let $f\in \dot{H}^s$ with $s\in (0,1)$ and $g\in \dot{H}^{-s}$, where $\dot{H}^s$ denote the fractional homogeneous Sobolev space $\dot{W}^{p,s}$with $p=2$. Does one have the following Cauchy-Schwarz type inequality?
$$
(f,g)_{L^2}\leq \| f \|_{\dot{H}^s} \| g \|_{\dot{H}^{-s}},
$$
where $(.,.)_{L^2}$ is the $L^2$-inner product and on the right are the seminorms corresponding to the homogeneous spaces (given by the Gagliardo seminorms).
I have seen an inequality of this type for fractional Sobolev spaces but without any proof. Does one have a reference (also for the case above)?
Thanks for your help!

A: Let $\hat f, \hat g$ be the Fourier transforms of $f,g$. By Plancherel and Cauchy-Schwarz,
$$(f,g)_{L^2} = (\hat f, \hat g)_{L^2}
 = \int (\hat f(x) |x|^s)( |x|^{-s} \hat g(x)) dx
 \leq \||\cdot|^s\hat f \|_{L^2} \||\cdot|^{-s}\hat g\|_{L^2}
 = \|f\|_{\dot H^s}\|g\|_{\dot H^{-s}}.$$

Solve each of the following system of equations in R.
1. x + 3 > 0, 2x < 14
Given: x + 3 > 0 and 2x < 14
Let us consider the first inequality.
x + 3 > 0
x + 3 – 3 > 0 – 3
x > –3
Now, let us consider the second inequality.
2x < 14
Divide both the sides by 2 we get,
2x/2 < 14/2

11 – 5x – 11 ≤ 1 – 11
–5x ≤ –10
-5x/5 ≤ -10/5
–x ≤ –2
x ≥ 2
∴ x ∈ [2, ∞) … (2)
From (1) and (2) we get

∴ The solution of the given system of inequations is (4, ∞).
3. x – 2 > 0, 3x < 18
x – 2 > 0 and 3x < 18
x – 2 > 0
x – 2 + 2 > 0 + 2

∴ The solution of the given system of inequations is (5/2, ∞).
6. 2x – 3 < 7, 2x > –4

If you want to produce quality work, you need to base it off quality work. If you find an example paper that is poorly written and is full of mistakes, it will set a bad standard for your own writing, and may teach you the wrong things. The purpose of using an example for your own writing is to improve the quality above what it might be on your own.
It'll tell you about the author. If you find an example essay that is full of mistakes, and is clearly not proofread, it is a good tip off that the author of the example might not be a good a good person to base your own work off. Just because someone posts a sample paper online, doesn't mean they know anything about the subject, or about writing. And you don't want to base your paper off one written by someone who was making it up as they went along, or who is a non-native English speaker who may not be a very good writer.
You could get the facts wrong. If the paper isn't proofread or well written, chances are the research and facts behind it are suspect too.
You could get the wording wrong. If you are looking to write an essay on a specific or technical subject, using an example paper can help you pick up on the correct terms, wording, and language to use. But if you are using a paper that hasn't been proofread or well written, you could end up using the wrong words and phrasing.
You'll get better ideas for your own work. Using a well-written and insightful paper as an example for your own can be a great source of ideas. You're more likely to pick up on new insights and concepts from a high quality sample paper than you are from a poor quality sample paper.

Seplat: Boosting Education in Edo, Delta through Quiz Challenge, Empowering Teachers, CIEs
With a huge investment in education, Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc, in a joint venture with the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, aside addressing Sustainability Development Goal 4 through its Pearls Quiz Challenge, is also training teachers and Chief Inspectors of Education as part of efforts to continue to deepen its drive for quality education in Edo and Delta States. Adibe Emenyonu reports
In 2012, SEPLAT had a Joint Venture (JV) partnership with the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) to inspire excellence in students of public and private secondary schools in their host states.
The organisation has through the PEARLs Quiz initiative, provided scholarships to 63 students, executed projects valued at over N30 million in more than eight schools, given out four brand new 16-seater buses, as well as consolation prizes to the last seven schools every year since inception.
The organisation recently concluded the quiz challenge, a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme in its host states- Edo and Delta.
The 2020 edition commenced over six months ago when a total of 574 schools started vying to reach the much-coveted final stage of the competition. After rounds of rigorous and challenging stages of the competition, four schools emerged and advanced to the last step. St. Michael College, Benin City, Edo State and Mc Nell Academy Secondary School, Sapele, Delta State competed for the first and second place trophies; while St. John's Academy, Oleh, Delta State and Gloryland Secondary School, Igarra, Edo State, vied for the third place.
It was excitement all the way at the Imaguero College Hall in Benin City, which was filled with students and dignitaries from different apparatus of the government of both states and select community leaders. The four schools held the audience spellbound with their exhilarating performance.
St. Michael College, Benin City emerged the overall winner of the competition, while Mc Nell Academy Secondary School, Sapele, Delta State and Gloryland Secondary School, Igarra, Edo State, emerged second and third positions respectively.
The thrilled schools and students went home with exciting prizes with the first prize school winning N7 million project-based cash and N100,000 scholarship to the three students that represented the school. The second prize of N3 million project-based cash and N75,000 scholarship went to the school and three winning students respectively. The third prize of N1 million project-based cash and N50,000 scholarship went to the school and three winning students respectively. Teachers of all qualifying schools were not left out, as they also got attractive prizes.
In his remarks, the SEPLAT CEO, Roger Brown expressed delight that through the programme, 45,140 students have been positively impacted.
He added that many schools' infrastructures have received a boost with projects such as language laboratory, three roofing projects, block of classrooms, interlocking stones for entire school premises designed to stave off erosion, five computer laboratories deployed in different schools and four brand new school buses, among others.
According to him, "this programme rekindles the spirit of academic excellence and healthy competition in our youths by motivating, encouraging and rewarding the scholarship spirit in them as they inculcate the principles of teamwork and hard work."
The General Manager, External Affairs and Communications at SEPLAT, Dr. Chioma Nwachuku, said the quiz competition was designed to rekindle the spirit of healthy competition in youths by motivating, encouraging and rewarding the ethos of scholarship while providing them the right platform to prepare for their examinations.
Little wonder that students in Delta and Edo States have maintained high pass rates in external examinations such as the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
She noted that promoting educational excellence remains a cardinal objective of SEPLAT, hence the various educational programmes in its host communities.
Nwachuku said the outcome over the years had shown the need to encourage the students to continue their display of brilliance, intelligence and talents.
She commended the schools and students that participated in this year's quiz; despite the prevailing pandemic, noting that the turnout showed the resilience and can-do spirit for which the SEPLAT PEARLs quiz participants are known for.
"In deploying the programme this year amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to become innovative and had all the schools write the qualification test online with Seplat providing data for all. Five hundred and seventy-four schools took the test, and 104 (52 from both states) progressed to the next round."
The NPDC official, Mr. Efifia Chu, Deputy Manager, SEPLAT JV, thanked all participants for taking advantage of the SEPLAT PEARLs Quiz which promotes a critical Sustainable Development Goal and promotes healthy competition among students.
As part of efforts to continue to improve on its corporate social responsibility and deepen its drive for quality education, the organisation also trained 100 teachers and 43 Chief Inspectors of Education (CIEs).
The beneficiary teachers and CIEs were drawn from secondary schools in Delta and Edo States where the company operates.
The training which comes under the company's education programme, was targeted at secondary school teachers tagged, 'SEPLAT Teachers Empowerment Programme (STEP).
It is an initiative aimed at promoting teachers' creative thinking, allow for higher student engagement and to also offer a well-rounded education for recipients of the programme.
The programme was a five-day residential workshop introductory phase that will kick-off a six-month programme specifically designed for teachers by providing them training on teaching applications for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM), as well as leadership and self-improvement training.
Speaking at the end of the training workshop in Benin City, Brown said the company has invested significantly in the various educational programmes as part of its CSR which support Sustainable Development Goals (SDG4) because of the strong belief that education is the bedrock of any national growth.
According to him, "worldwide, having a team of competent teachers is a critical success factor for achieving quality education.
"Our STEP programme therefore aims to enhance teachers' competencies and empower them with the knowledge and skills to deploy STEAM, among other benefits."
He noted that the STEAM education is crucial in creating a strong educational foundation for students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics.
Brown also disclosed that the first set of Seplat trained teachers will graduate by first quarter of next year, adding that 389 teachers from schools in Edo and Delta States sat for the qualifying test online and a total of 100 were selected to be trained with 75 per cent from public schools and 25 per cent from private schools.
