Kelly Olynyk
Profile Videos Awards
Drafted #13 in the 2013 NBA Draft by the Celtics
Weight: 234 lbs (106 kg)
Position: PF/C
High School: South Kamloops Secondary (British Columbia)
Hometown: Scarborough, ON
College: Gonzaga
Current Team: Jazz
Win - Loss: 1 - 3
Situational Statistics: the 2013 Power Forward Crop
-Kelly Olynyk's breakout season definitely stands out on paper. His 1.13 points per-possession is the highest in this group while his 15 possessions per-game also place him in the top-five power forward prospects in usage.
Unlike Bennett and Zeller, Olynyk did his best work compared to the rest of the field in the half court, where his 1.10 PPP is one of the top marks among all players eligible for the 2013 draft. He ranks in the top two in scoring efficiency on cuts and as the roll man on the pick and roll, in addition to converting a top-ranked 58.3% of his shot attempts in the post and 70% as a finisher at the rim.
An exceptionally skilled player for his size, Olynyk's 1.6 jump shot attempts per-game doesn't jump off the page, and ranks below the average number of tries, but he scored a very respectable 0.96 PPP when he did fire away from the perimeter. Though he is not the athlete Bennett or Zeller are, his skill level allowed him to outperform them at the college level in terms of scoring efficiency. A fairly unique player, Olynyk will be one of the more interesting cases from this draft class to track on paper as a rookie given his rare and exceptional profile.

Trending Prospects (1/7/2012)

@KNelsonDX
Mark Few's Gonzaga Bulldogs have gotten off to an exceptional start, earning a top-10 ranking and sporting a 15-1 record thus far. Though the program has gotten timely contributions from point guard Kevin Pangos and senior forward Elias Harris, redshirt junior Kelly Olynyk has quickly emerged as the team's leading scorer and most intriguing NBA prospect after sitting out the team's first three games for violating Gonzaga's student code of conduct.
Averaging just 12.9 minutes per-game playing behind L.A. Lakers second round pick Robert Sacre over his first two seasons in Spokane, patience has been a virtue for Olynyk. Catching the attention of scouts while gaining valuable international experience playing with Canada's junior national teams, the Kamloops native took a significant step forward when he debuted for Canada's senior national team in 2010 after his freshman year. Despite a disappointing 22nd place finish at the FIBA World Championships, Olynyk scored 33 points in 63 minutes against France and Spain, flashing intriguing potential as an inside-outside threat facing elite competition at just 19 years of age.
Seeing only a minor uptick in playing time upon returning to campus as a sophomore, Olynyk opted to sit out the 2011-2012 season, or what would have been his junior year, to retain a year of eligibility and prepare for the opportunities he'd see with Sacre out of the picture. Spending another two summers with the Canadian national team and Gonzaga's offseason program working tirelessly in the weight room, the 21 year old center is reaping the benefits of his decision this season.
The maturing Olynyk did away from the floor is evident on first glance. Redistributing the 240-pounds on his 7'0 frame and having significantly improved his conditioning, the once somewhat soft, gangly, oversized stretch-four now looks the part of a NBA center. He has gotten noticeably stronger, especially in his upper body, and while he still lacks great explosiveness, his bulked up frame hasn't had a negative impact on his excellent mobility.
Olynyk has matched his physical development with a dramatically different approach on the offensive end. Content to spot-up away from the rim and fire jump shots from the perimeter early in his career, the big man has embraced his role as post-scorer and finisher this season, doing a significant better job utilizing his size to his advantage in the paint.
What makes Olynyk unique is his versatility and skill level for a 7-footer. By no means a flashy scorer and far from a freak athlete, the inside-outside threat can use his size and soft touch to score in the post, finish his opportunities at the rim, and step out and make shots from the perimeter.
Wasting no time getting re-acclimated to a balanced Gonzaga attack that boasts terrific chemistry, Olynyk's efficiency has been nothing short of tremendous this season, as he ranks 3rd in the nation in two-point percentage at 71%. Showing a willingness to do the work before the catch and establish good position on the block, the fourth year junior doesn't have a go-to move per se, but has a knack for taking what defenders give him with his extremely high skill-level and is shooting 65% in the post (third amongst NBA prospects) according to Synergy Sports Technology, thanks in large part to his soft touch.
When he isn't operating one on one in the post, Olynyk earns himself some easy opportunities by virtue of his size and activity level off the ball. He moves well within Gonzaga's offense, cutting aggressively to the basket, plays exceptionally well off the penetration of his teammates, and provides a big target in the paint.
Away from the basket, Olynyk is still a reliable set shooter, even if he is taking jump shots at a significantly lower rate than he did early in his career. Shooting 4/12 from beyond the arc and 9/19 on jump shots overall this year, Olynyk does not leak out to the perimeter often, but is still a threat to hit from the outside. His shooting ability has been a big plus for him at the free throw line this season, where he's shooting 81%, and gives him some upside as a pick and pop threat at the next level.
When defenders give Olynyk driving lanes when he operates away from the rim, he shows unique ball handling ability for a big man. Always appearing in control when he puts in the ball on the floor, Olynyk lacks the quickness to blow by defenders in isolation situations, but he can use his dribble to set up his defender for a move in the mid-post, or dribble into a jump shot.
A versatile offensive talent, Olynyk is not without his faults. He ranks in the top 10 in turnovers amongst prospects in our top-100 per-40 minutes pace adjusted, being a bit too aggressive putting the ball on the floor when operating in the post.
With that said, scouts will have significantly more pressing questions about his rebounding ability and defensive presence. Lacking the explosiveness to rebound outside of his area or provide a presence blocking shots from the weakside, Olynyk does not make a sizeable contribution in either area relative to his peers, ranking last and fifth to last in blocks and defensive rebounds per-40 minutes pace adjusted respectively among the centers in our top-100. He does a solid job crashing the offensive glass, but must work to become a bigger factor on the defensive end.
Olynyk shows somewhat inconsistent intensity on the defensive end, though he does operate in a decent stance and moves his feet well for his size. His lack of lateral quickness and often poor awareness limit his impact on this end of the floor. He'll need to improve his intensity and show better focus to help make up for his shortcomings as best he can on this end of the floor.
One of the most pleasant surprises in the NCAA this season, Olynyk seems like a prime candidate to fill a complimentary role at the next level. His size and versatile offensive game allow him to exploit different match ups, spread the floor for his teammates, and gives him potential in the two-man game. He still has room to improve as a defender and rebounder, but players with Olynyk's profile are rare, making him someone who could easily factor into the 2013 or 2014 draft.

Stephen Sondheim, 'Shakespeare Of Musical Theatre', Passes Away
Mark Garrison — November 27, 2021
Stephen Sondheim, the iconic lyricist and composer of some of the most legendary shows in the history of musical theatre, died Friday at his home in Roxbury Connecticut.
Sondheim was 91 years old.
The New York Times called Sondheim the "greatest and perhaps best-known artist in American musical theatre," while The Guardian in 2010 had asked the rhetorical question, "Is Stephen Sondheim the Shakespeare of musical theatre?"
Sondheim is renowned for his work as the lyricist for West Side Story (1957) and Gypsy (1959), as well as his work as a composer/lyricist for Company (1970), Follies (1971), A Little Night Music (1973), Sweeney Todd (1979), Into the Woods (1986), Sunday in the Park with George (1984), and Assassins (1990).
In total, Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics for 16 musicals and the lyrics for three others, and is considered to be one of the greatest lyricists and composers in musical theatre history.
'Theatre Has Lost One Of Its Greatest Geniuses'
He left us with so many words, but none enough for this post. Goodbye, old pal. Thank you, Stephen Sondheim, for so much brilliance in the theatre and sharing your music with us all. pic.twitter.com/Qe55GcDQeS
— The Tony Awards (@TheTonyAwards) November 27, 2021
"The theatre has lost one of its greatest geniuses and the world has lost one of its greatest and most original writers," said producer Cameron Mackintosh. "Sadly, there is now a giant in the sky. But the brilliance of Stephen Sondheim will still be here as his legendary songs and shows will be performed for evermore."
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted, "Stephen Sondheim created fantastic worlds and characters, but at the heart of every story he told was a kid from New York City. And that kid was a legend. One of the brightest lights of Broadway is dark tonight. May he rest in peace."
For his work, Sondheim accumulated a monumental list of awards including nine Tony Awards, five Olivier Awards, one Academy Award, a Pulitzer Prize and eight Grammy Awards. In 2015, Sondheim was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Every so often someone comes along that fundamentally shifts an entire art form. Stephen Sondheim was one of those. As millions mourn his passing I also want to express my gratitude for all he has given to me and so many more. Sending my love to his nearest and dearest. pic.twitter.com/4KlnJJJipq
— Hugh Jackman (@RealHughJackman) November 26, 2021
"Stephen's music is so beautiful, his lyrics so precise, that even as he exposes the imperfections of everyday life, he transcends them. We transcend them. Put simply, Stephen reinvented the American musical," said former President Barack Obama at the Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony in 2015.
Thank You For The Music
"I'll always be there / As frightened as you / To help us survive / Being alive." Goodnight to the renowned and truly matchless composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who forever changed the landscape of American theater. ❤ pic.twitter.com/Njv0ZekdEU
— Criterion Collection (@Criterion) November 26, 2021
Many of Sondheim's songs are musical theatre canon including Send in the Clowns (A Little Night Music), Somewhere (West Side Story), Not A Day Goes By (Merrily We Roll Along), The Ladies Who Lunch (Company), and I'm Still Here (Follies).
"He gave me so much to sing about. I loved him dearly and will miss him so much. Thank you for all the gifts you gave the world Steve," said Bernadette Peters, who was a long time friend and worked with Sondheim frequently.
"Everyone's influenced by him, even if they claim they're not," said Lin Manuel Miranda. Barbra Streisand said Sondheim "always finds original ways to say things. Yet every word, every note, feels inevitable. He captures the truth in the most poetic way."

"For many theatre-lovers, there are musicals, then there are Sondheim musicals. The latter is a category of its own because with Sondheim, every single word, every rhyme has been laboured over to the point that it's mellifluous and articulate (if a little garrulous)," wrote Gary Nunn in The Guardian.
'I Wanted My Name In Lights'
Just a few months ago the legend Stephen Sondheim joined us in person for an unforgettable conversation. Rest in peace. pic.twitter.com/qyhdjz9TX6
— The Late Show (@colbertlateshow) November 26, 2021
Born in 1930 in New York, into an affluent family, Sondheim said, "My parents weren't around much, but I assumed everybody's family was the same. I didn't know people had mummies and daddies who would give them milk and cookies after school. I just thought everybody lived on Central Park West and they had a nanny to take care of them."
Sondheim saw his first Broadway musical, Very Warm for May, when he was nine years old, which was a revelation for the youngster. "The curtain went up and revealed a piano. A butler took a duster and brushed it up, tinkling the keys. I thought that was thrilling," Sondheim said of the experience.
"I certainly wanted my name in lights. I wanted my name on a marquee. I wanted recognition on Broadway," Sondheim said; a wish which he fully realised.
When Sondheim was 12 years old, he met, Oscar Hammerstein II, the father of his friend Jamie. "By Christmas, Stephen was more a Hammerstein than a Sondheim," Jamie Hammerstein said years later.
A Long Mentorship
Sondheim, who had a famously fractious relationship with his parents, blossomed under the tutelage of Oscar Hammerstein II. "Oscar Hammerstein was a surrogate father during all those many days, and weeks and months when I didn't see my own father," Sondheim said.
The mentorship served as a training ground for Sondheim. "The whole point is to underwrite not overwrite because music is so rich an art itself," Hammerstein instructed Sondheim.
"He taught me how to structure a song, what a character was, what a scene was; he taught me how to tell a story, how not to tell a story, how to make stage directions practical," Sondheim told Paris Review in 1997.
Despite the long-mentorship Sondheim was critical of Hammerstein's work. "Oscar's lyrics are often flat-out sentimental, lacking in irony, which is the favourite mode of expression of the latter part of the 20th century. And I happen to love irony. He had a limited range of imagery — too many birds in his lyrics — stuff that is metaphorically what we all feel, but because they've been overused so much, and often by him, they lack force."
"By the time I was 22, I was a professional. A young and flawed professional, but not an amateur," Sondheim said.
Bereft yet beyond grateful.
You always gave us the words:
"Your love will live in me."
Thank you for ALL you gave us dear Steve.
💖💖🌟💫💞✨✨✨✨

Sondheim cemented his legendary status when, at 27 years of age, he wrote the lyrics to West Side Story, which first opened on Broadway in 1957 and ran for more than 700 performances. Sondheim was never happy with his work on West Side Story and referred to his lyrics as "embarrassing."
"It's very hard for me to listen to some of those songs," he said. In particular, Sondheim disliked Maria's line "It's alarming how charming I feel."
"I don't know what a Puerto Rican street girl is doing singing a line like that," Sondheim said.
Sondheim's first work as both lyricist and composer was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (1962), which won the Tony for Best Musical.
In a 2013 interview with NPR, Sondheim said, "I love the theatre as much as music, and the whole idea of getting across to an audience and making them laugh, making them cry — just making them feel — is paramount to me."
What would we do without you? Thanks for being alive, Stephen Sondheim.

In his book Finishing the Hat, Sondheim wrote, "If you think of a theatre lyric as a short story, as I do, then every line has the weight of a paragraph."
For LGBTQI audiences, it's Sondheim's lyrics to I'm Still Here which are perhaps most instantly recognisable."First, you're another sloe-eyed vamp / Then someone's mother / Then you're camp / Then you career from career to career. Plush velvet sometimes / Sometimes just pretzels and beer – but I'm here."
In 2010, when the Henry Miller's Theatre on Broadway was renamed in his honour, Sondheim said, "I'm deeply embarrassed, I'm thrilled but deeply embarrassed…partly because I've always hated my last name."
His acerbic nature often showed up in Sondheim's interviews. "You have two kinds of shows on Broadway — revivals and the same kind of musicals over and over again, all spectacles," Sondheim told Frank Rich of the New York Times in 2000.
"You get your tickets for The Lion King a year in advance, and essentially a family comes as if to a picnic, and they pass on to their children the idea that that's what the theatre is — a spectacular musical you see once a year, a stage version of a movie. It has nothing to do with theatre at all. It has to do with seeing what is familiar. We live in a recycled culture."
'Leave Me Alone, Just Let Me Ride'
Sondheim, who was famously reticent, once said, "The outsider feeling— somebody whom people want to both kiss and kill—occurred quite early in my life."
When Bernadette Peters called Sondheim "a walking, living icon," he replied "It's really nice, but it's also embarrassing. My tendency, my desire is 'leave me alone, just let me ride.'"
Sondheim, who came out publicly when he was 40, is survived by his husband, Jeffrey Scott Romley, who is 50 years his junior. The couple married in 2017 and had split their time between homes in Manhattan and Connecticut.

Magic in the mists
by Agustín Pico Estrada Comments
"My favourite book by one of my favourite Argentinian authors." Samanta Schweblin
Land of Smoke is the first English translation, by Jessica Sequeira, of a work by my mother, the recently rediscovered Argentinian writer Sara Gallardo. A story collection originally published in 1977, it is a haunting cornucopia of the strangest fare Southern South America can possibly offer: Andean Sasquatches breeding hybrids with Basque deserters, a stubborn lady ghost who insists on collecting her retirement allowance – much to the dismay of other queueing pensioners, Pampas lycanthropes, cosy suburban homes suddenly drifting away to the high seas. Before Land of Smoke, Gallardo wrote four novels which met with considerable praise from critics and acceptance by the public; she was also a regular contributor to newspapers and weeklies, and some of her best writing is to be found in those shrewd and humorous short pieces, some of which have recently been collected and published in Argentina. After Land of Smoke came the short novel La rosa en el viento (The Rose in the Wind).
If there is such thing as literary genes, Gallardo undoubtedly carried them. On her mother's side, she descended from General Bartolomé Mitre, Argentina's first constitutional president in the 1860s. Mitre was not only a prominent statesman but a formidable polymath, who laid the foundations of contemporary Argentine historiography with his massive (and still unchallenged) mythopoeic biographies of the founding fathers of Argentine independence. He also wrote, among many other things, a highly readable rhyming translation of Dante's Divine Comedy, deep studies of the region's pre-Columbian past (apart from the mandatory French, he had some Greek and Latin, and was fluent in native languages Guaraní and Quechua), built a valuable library which included Aztec codices, and most notably founded La Nación, still one of the major Argentine newspapers. Gallardo's maternal great-grandfather was Miguel Cané, a late-nineteenth-century statesman who was also a witty and prolific writer. Her father Guillermo was a historian, and also very much a reading man. Gallardo's father Ángel was a noted zoologist (ants were his field) who, much to his chagrin, had to leave his beloved studies when he was called to serve his country in several public roles in the early twentieth century. Land of Smoke brilliantly pulls together these strands: a passionate love of nature, an equally passionate love for words.
Gallardo was engaged in the writing of Land of Smoke when Murena died in 1975. Grief-stricken, she carried on with her work. The last story in the collection, 'Un solitario' ('A Loner') is a poignant tribute."
Gallardo's first novel was Enero (January), originally published in 1960. She had recently married Luis Pico Estrada, five years her junior, and already well known as a journalist (he would later become an equally respected screenwriter). Although Enero's story and writing are very much Gallardo's, Pico Estrada gave a hand with the structure and final layout. It is the deliberately sparse and understated story of the predicament of a country girl who is pregnant as the result of rape. The careful structure with its taut, elegant prose, fairly creaks and hisses with the overwhelming loneliness of the main character, fifteen-year-old Nefer, who is ultimately forced to marry her rapist. Enero was critically acclaimed; it also met with some unexpected attention from communist sympathisers, who took it to be a 'socially engaged' work dealing with the pressures of family and society on the helpless proletariat, and was promptly published in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic.
Gallardo's next novel was Pantalones Azules (Blue Jeans). In fact, she had wanted the novel to be published as Blue Jeans, but her Spanish-language publishers did not agree. In it, a student from a well-to-do family, engaged in violent ultra-Catholic right-wing militancy, falls in love with a beautiful and free-spirited (and blue jean-clad) Jewish art student. But he prefers to go back to an arranged marriage with an unlovable girl from his own background, renouncing a path that could have made him free.
Perhaps wary of her unwonted role as a progressive social comentator (in a magazine piece, she once wrote: "Please abandon the pernicious habit of asking me to write about current affairs. I do not believe there is such thing as current affairs; and, if they do exist, they are vulgar."), Gallardo embarked on a new novel of thwarted love, which did not contain anything that could be immediately thought of as political. Los galgos, los galgos (The greyhounds, the greyhounds) was instantly popular in Argentina. But on publication in 1968 Gallardo had second thoughts and was dissatisfied with some sections of the novel (her lengthiest work so far). She did not allow re-publication, and years later produced a considerably stripped-down version called Historia de los galgos (1975) which recalls the sparse style of her earlier work. By then, Gallardo and Pico Estrada had separated, and she had gone on to marry H.A. Murena, a well-known and prolific writer loosely affiliated to the 'Sur' group.
In the early 1970s, Gallardo travelled to Northern Argentina for several journalistic assignments. Fascinated by what she found there, she made several trips, some of them including lengthy stays in the remote and harsh Chaco region, where she got to meet the dwindling remains of the native population who eked out a miserable living as the lowest rung of the social order in the town of Embarcación, on the Pilcomayo river. It was the inspiration of her next novel, arguably her best and most original work, Eisejuaz. Eisejuaz is related to her earlier work in that it also deals with the derelict and downtrodden of Argentina's vast rural territories. But it also introduced for the first time a supernatural element, as the titular character is a shaman who acts on the instructions of the God he has known over at the Norwegian Protestant mision, sometimes through spontaneous communication, other times seeking them out through the consumption of traditional hallucinogenic plants.
Gallardo was engaged in the writing of Land of Smoke when Murena died in 1975. Grief-stricken, she carried on with her work. The last story in the collection, 'Un solitario' ('A Loner') is a poignant tribute to Murena. It is also one of the few realistic stories in the book. The door to the otherworldly had already opened in Eisejuaz; now all sorts of weird and magical creatures and situations trooped through it. Even so, Land of Smoke was above all, and once again, a story about Gallardo's beloved Argentinian landscape and nature. The overarching theme of the collection is the ungraspable, rootless quality of Southern South America. Inventors of new sciences, criminals, ghosts, dreamers, the migrant flotsam of old Europe, blood-spattered Indian chieftains, sullen gauchos… none of them can really get a hold in the eternally indifferent windswept Andean heights, the chilly mists of the Pampas, the slow brown rivers carrying drifting water-lily islands where man-eating jaguars lurk.
Sara Gallardo was a celebrated and prize-winning Argentinian writer. Born in Buenos Aires in 1931, her first book was published in 1958, and by the time she died in 1988 she had published novels, short stories, children's books and essays. Land of Smoke, translated by Jessica Sequeira, is out now from Pushkin Press (£12 paperback).

Nowadays, the phrase "Indie Author" means that the writer is just as good as any mainstream author, but doesn't have the finances for a big publishing firm and chooses a small press company instead. Oh yes, just because you've signed with a publisher, does not exclude yourself to be called an indie author. I had the same thought as above. I thought in order to be considered an indie author, you had to self-publish your book.

The BookMyForex Marketplace and Prepaid Cards Help Travelers Secure the Best Deals on Foreign Currency Exchange in India
Written by: Adam West
Adam corresponds with finance experts to publish industry news coverage related to helping consumers achieve greater financial literacy and improved credit. He has more than 12 years of storytelling, editing, and design experience in print and online journalism and is most knowledgeable in the areas of credit scores, financial products and services, and the banking industry.
In a Nutshell: BookMyForex has emerged as India's most innovative foreign currency exchange service. The company partners with hundreds of banks and exchanges to offer real-time rates, service-quality comparisons, and has helped more than 300,000 customers. Through its prepaid Visa travel card, BookMyForex brings the benefits of currency exchanges locked in at interbank rates to Indian consumers in 15 currencies and counting.
India's long road to a market-based economy and greater connection to the West runs through the Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS), a set of regulations governing how resident Indian taxpayers can send money abroad.
LRS allows Indians to remit as much as $250,000 in rupees each year, but it defines a specific set of purposes for doing so. The regulations also limit transactions to authorized banks and money changers, and require local physical delivery of forms and documentation.
Given that moving money out of the country wasn't allowed at all until the LRS went into effect in 2004, the regulation has been an enormous step forward as more Indians have sought to travel, work, and study abroad.
But compared to how foreign remittances work in countries like the U.S. — which aren't nearly as concerned with capital flight — sending money abroad in India is highly inconvenient.
That's why BookMyForex has been such a welcome entrant in the Indian foreign exchange marketplace.
Since 2013, BookMyForex has helped Indians exchange currencies simply, securely, and at affordable rates. BookMyForex removes obstacles to the kind of close international connections that can help consumers thrive by partnering with providers in more than 5,000 offices in over 650 cities in India.
"We connect folks who are looking to exchange currency with the providers around them that are offering the best rates and service quality track records," Founder and CTO Nitin Motwani said. "Given that the regulations are actually quite complex, we've tried to make the process as seamless as possible."
Partnership-Based Forex Marketplace Helps Users Find the Best Rates
When BookMyForex launched in 2013, its initial goal was simply to provide an option for Indian residents to exchange currencies online.
"At that time, there was no service of that sort in India at all," Motwani said.
The company established a relationship with a single bank operating more than 2,900 branch locations in 300 cities. Customers placed their orders through the platform and then picked up their currency or had their transfers processed at the branches.
Although BookMyForex quickly built out deep integrations with its partner, the people side of the equation was another matter.
"We saw issues with training bank staff to execute the orders the right way," Motwani said. "And, of course, we didn't have the personnel to go in and train staff in all those different branches."
So BookMyForex pivoted to its current marketplace model for transfers, moving beyond its single bank relationship and building partnerships with hundreds of authorized currency exchange companies and banks.
The result is a forex process that is much more transparent to the customer.
"We started the whole concept of real-time rates and quality comparisons between different service providers in India," Motwani said. "And that led to us coming up with the best rates for our customers in different localities."
Customers can securely book wire transfers and foreign currency demand drafts — even delivery of cash or traveler's checks — at live and transparent exchange rates. They also have the option of locking in a rate for as long as three days. They can either transport their LRS documents to the partnering office themselves or schedule a fee-free doorstep pickup with BookMyForex.
Orders process within 24 working hours after documentation is complete, and customers pay only what BookMyForex's partners charge.
Prepaid Card Secures Foreign Currency at Lower Rates
BookMyForex also moves beyond the proven success of the platform model. With its Visa and Mastercard prepaid forex travel cards, the company offers customers the most convenient way to secure foreign remittances in India. And customers can use the cards everywhere Visa and Mastercard are accepted.
"One of the revolutionary ideas we introduced into the Indian market was the whole concept of providing foreign currency at exact interbank exchange rates loaded on our cards," Motwani said. "The revenue model is your typical interchange fees, which you earn right from the actual spends that happen."
The appeal for customers stems from the benefits of working through Visa. Compared to most other delivery methods, the cards are more secure because they include chip-and-PIN and CVV protection.
Prepaid BookMyForex travel cards lock in interbank exchange rates for users.
"There's also insurance in case of fraudulent transactions and emergency cash assistance in case you lose your card," Motwani said.
The cards also add convenience for customers.
"If you're on an international trip and you run out of funds, obviously you can't replenish your cash supply at that time," Motwani said. "But you can instantly reload your card, and when you come back into India, you can change your balance back into Indian rupees and move it back into your account."
And the cards also gain management functionality from the sophisticated mobile apps associated with them. Cards, as well as specific transaction types, can be locked and unlocked directly from a mobile app.
"You also get live, real-time notifications of your spending, and, of course, you can see your balances any time," Motwani said.
And BookMyForex plans to add functionality that will allow customers to seamlessly exchange currency between wallets and also instantly add and remove money.
Building an Intelligent Travel Platform for India
BookMyForex offers its travel cards through bank partnerships, but the company is also planning more innovation in that area. It aims to expand the platform into more of a comprehensive, well-rounded travel service.
The first step involves establishing its own direct card-network relationships, circumventing its current relationships with card issuers and allowing BookMyForex to diversify its monetization strategy, especially with leisure travelers.
"Once we have that, we're planning on actually leveraging the spending patterns of our customers — categorizing them according to the interests they have," Motwani said. "While they're abroad on trips, we'll use that information, along with their current geolocation, to provide them with offers."
Connected to that idea is a platform for tours and activities that BookMyForex operates. The platform aggregates data from several outside travel services, offering discounts for multiple bookings and for bookings made through its cards.
The BookMyForex team is working on new products and solutions for travelers.
The marketplace is also moving into SIM cards via a pilot program that BookMyForex plans to expand. It also plans to bring in loan providers to give customers another option for funding their cards.
"Once they have their card funded, they can actually convert the funds from one currency to another instantaneously from the app, and they can start using it abroad wherever they like," Motwani said.
Within the stipulations of the LRS, BookMyForex continues to offer Indians more options for transporting their own assets to international destinations. Students, workers, holiday travelers, and others benefit from convenient and secure transfer and exchange services from India's original retail foreign exchange and international money transfer provider.
"Simplicity is one of our primary advantages and how we attacked the market from the beginning," Motwani said.

A company's brand and reputation will live or die by what is said about it online. By following a few simple rules you can ensure that your company will fly. Failing to track and react to what is being said about you online could be fatal for your company.
Monitoring your reputation online is similar in many ways to monitoring what is said about you offline, with one major difference: news (good or bad) can spread like wild fire online. What starts today as a rant from a disgruntled customer could tomorrow have spread round the internet leaving your brand in tatters.
With a bit of inspiration, some talent and of fair slice of luck you can use the same power to drive your brand forward. The infamous digg effect can drive thousands of visitors and hundreds of links all of which can do wonders to your visibility online, and when used correctly can have a massive influence on the bottom line of any business.
###1. Track everything said about you online.
The first step is to track all mentions of you, your brand, your products and your company. There are numerous options, including our very own reputation monitor.
For each positive comment you find online take the time to say thank you. Make your "thank you" real, personal and honest and people will appreciate it. The more conversations you can have with people around the internet the better. Building relationships and building your network is an amazingly positive side effect of improving your reputation online.
Building your profile in online communities can be an incredible way to get your name known and to build a reputation. The golden rule is to go all out to help other people. If you are only in it for personal gain then you will not get any benefit from it.
Many of the leading names in the SEO world are incredibly active in various forums. In the SEO world over 50% of people in a recent SEOmoz post said they first learnt seo by reading an participating in SEO forumns. So not only can you learn gain an incredible wealth of information, these forums can give you incredible exposure and when used correctly can be a huge help in growing your online reputation. Here are a few guys from the Cre8asite Forums who have helped me immensely through their involvement in the forum.
There is plenty of debate about how much information you should give away for free. Talking purely from a reputation standpoint, the more quality advice you can give away the more you will build your reputation online. Businesses have been built based on giving away information. Take a look at these four posts from the "popular posts" at Marketing Pilgrim, each one is giving away information for free, and each new reader and new subscriber is one more relationship. Online reputation can be summed up as "build relationships".
I doubt I am alone in subscribing to the GoogleCache based purely on reading this one post answering questions posed by SEOmoz. Give away the farm and your reputation will improve dramatically.
##What if there are negative comments?
The first 4 rules are all about improving your reputation, however by putting yourself into the public domain you are also increasing the chance that someone will disagree with what you say. Not only that but people love to diss the big guys. The next set of rules are to help protect your brand and manage your online reputation.
###5. Track what is being said.
(Yes, I know this is the same as #1 - you can go and look at our reputation monitor if you like!
Failure to track what is being said about you online is asking for trouble. If you don't know what is being said, you can't respond, and if you don't respond and help to solve the problem the next thing you know is that the problem is out of all control and you will lose business because of it.
###6. Say you are sorry.
When something negative about your company happens, take the time to say you are sorry - make sure it isn't a false apology.
Take the time to speak to them, if you can speak to the person on the phone do so. It is likely to have the best response. If you fail to speak to them directly try to send an email or leave a comment or anything, just make contact. Be very careful any time you put something into writing as it can easily be miss-interpreted. Richard Denny has a great post and related free e-book on the very subject.
Quite often, negative online press stems from confusions or incorrect facts. You can often clear up confusions and incorrect facts through dialogue with the appropriate people, but in serious cases, where many people are getting confused, you may well want to make your side of the story available on your website.
> In looking at his activity on the site, we can confirm that at no point that he used eBay to purchase any guns and ammunition. It is strongly against eBay policy to try to sell guns and ammunition.
Their statement is also available on their own website: eBay statement (though it's not particularly easy to find on Google.
Whilst the stat above about people's behaviour when faced with negative search engine results is based on British Consumers I suspect the story is similar around the world. One way of staying in control of the message people receive when they search for your company is to proactively seek to tell your story in the search engine results. Going too far down this route could be viewed as somewhat 'grey' hat (hi Graywolf), but certainly creating profiles for yourself and your company on many of the largest social media sites is a good idea to help you control your online reputation.
Whatever the issue that you are trying to deal with (whether real or perceived, ethical or unethical), it is important to do no further harm with your attempts to manage your reputation. This is not about "getting things deleted from Google" or covering up bad things you have done. It's about presenting yourself and your company in the best possible light - almost every company needs some marketing, after all.
- SEOmoz on reputation management - Are all companies who need reputation management bad?
If you can take on board suggestions and criticisms from your customers and the wider community, you are a long way towards doing the best you can. In this mode, we'd like to invite comments and suggestions from you guys. Let us know what you think we've missed.


When renting accommodation many tenants rent directly from a landlord who owns the property. However, it's also possible to rent from another tenant who has rented the property from the owner. This is called subletting.
Most tenants need their landlord's permission before they can sublet all or part of their home. Tenancy agreements often contain a term on this, so you should always check your agreement first.
This page looks at the different rights you have as a tenant to sublet your home.
Most local authority tenants are secure tenants. You are also likely to be a secure tenant if your landlord is a housing association and your tenancy started before 15 January 1989.
Flexible tenancies are offered by some local authorities in England. They are similar to secure tenancies except they last for a fixed period of time.
What rights do secure and flexible tenants have to sublet?
Secure and flexible tenants have a legal right to sublet part of their home with their landlord's written permission. If you sublet part of your home without permission, you are in breach of your tenancy agreement.
Your landlord cannot unreasonably withhold its consent to a request to sublet part of your home. Also, your landlord cannot attach conditions if it allows you to sublet.
If your landlord refuses your request to sublet part of your home, it must give you its reasons why.
You cannot lawfully sublet all of your home. If you do, you lose your status as a secure tenant and your landlord can evict you.
What are assured and assured shorthold tenancies?
Assured tenants are mainly housing association tenants where the tenancy began on or after 15 January 1989. Some assured tenants have private landlords. This is likely to be the case where you moved into your home between 15 January 1989 and 27 February 1997 and you didn't get a notice saying that the tenancy was an assured shorthold tenancy.
You can also be an assured tenant with a private landlord if you moved in on or after 28 February 1997, but this is quite rare.
Many tenants who rent from a private landlord are assured shorthold tenants. You are likely to be an assured shorthold tenant if your tenancy started on or after 28 February 1997, you pay rent to a private landlord and you don't share any accommodation with them.
Some assured shorthold tenants also have housing association landlords, for example, if you have a starter tenancy.
What rights do assured and assured shorthold tenants have to sublet?
Assured and assured shorthold tenants may be able to sublet their home depending on what it says in the tenancy agreement. If it contains a term about subletting, then this will always apply. If the term says that you need your landlord's consent, then your landlord will not unreasonably be able to refuse it.
If your tenancy agreement doesn't include a term on subletting, particular rules will apply if you have a periodic tenancy. A periodic tenancy is one that runs from one rent period to another, for example, from month to month. Periodic tenancies can arise when you stay on in your home after the fixed term has run out without signing a new agreement for another fixed term.
For periodic tenancies, if your tenancy agreement says nothing about subletting, you cannot sublet without your landlord's permission and they can refuse for any reason.
For fixed term tenancies, if your tenancy agreement says nothing about subletting, it is possible to sublet and your landlord's consent is not required.
An introductory tenancy is a type of local authority tenancy that lasts for one year. It's a form of trial tenancy and if there are no problems in that year, you are likely to become a secure tenant, or in England, a flexible tenant.
What rights do introductory tenants have to sublet?
If you're an introductory tenant, whether you can sublet part of your home depends on what it says in your tenancy agreement. In most cases, subletting isn't allowed or may be allowed subject to the landlord's consent.
You cannot lawfully sublet all of your home. If you do, you lose your status as an introductory tenant and your landlord can evict you.
Protected tenants have private landlords and will have had a tenancy for a long time, that is, from before 15 January 1989. These tenants are also known as regulated tenants.
There are two stages to a protected tenancy. The first stage is the contractual period based on the initial agreement between the landlord and the tenant. This part of the tenancy may be referred to as the contractual or protected tenancy.
The second stage is when the contractual period comes to an end and the tenancy becomes a statutory tenancy. It is called this because it is protected by statute - the Rent Act 1977.
What rights do protected tenants have to sublet?
A contractual or statutory protected tenant may be able to sublet part of their home. However, it's important to check the tenancy agreement first. It may prohibit subletting completely or only allow it with the landlord's permission.
Subletting all of your home is only possible if your tenancy is still within the contractual period. However, you should get your landlord's consent. This is because it is possible for your landlord to apply to court to evict you if you sublet the whole property without their consent.
If you are a statutory protected tenant and sublet all of your home, you will lose your status as a statutory tenant and your landlord can evict you.
What are demoted and family intervention tenancies?
Tenants with a demoted or family intervention tenancy will have a social housing landlord, such as a local authority or housing association. They will have this type of tenancy as a result of serious anti-social behaviour.
What rights do demoted and family intervention tenants have to sublet?
You should check your tenancy agreement. It's unlikely that you're allowed to sublet your home where you have a demoted tenancy or a family intervention tenancy.

How 'The Book of Common Prayer'
was the first book printed in Ireland
For almost five centuries, the Book of Common Prayer has contained and conveyed the essence of Anglican spirituality (Photo collage: Patrick Comerford)
Today marks the 470th anniversary of the printing of the first book in Ireland. The Book of Common Prayer was the first book printed in Ireland, and shortly after its printing, the new liturgy was formally introduced into Ireland at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, on Easter Day, 17 April 1551.
Poring old cuttings from my days as a journalist in The Irish Times, I recently cam across this feature, published 20 years ago on 17 Aril 2001, to mark the 450th anniversary of the printing of that first book:
Printing of Ireland's first book, the 'Book of Common Prayer', to be commemorated
The 450th anniversary of the introduction of the Book of Common Prayer into Ireland and of the printing of the first book in Ireland is being marked by church and State with special services and commemorative stamps.
The Book of Common Prayer was the first book printed in Ireland, and shortly after its printing the new liturgy was formally introduced into Ireland at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, on Easter Day, April 17th, 1551.
To mark this 450th anniversary Sunday's Sung Eucharist in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, at which the Archbishop of Dublin, Dr Walton Empey, was the preacher, followed the 1549 rite.
An Post is marking the occasion with a new 32p stamp illustrating the original title page of The Book of Common Prayer and administration of the Sacramentes, printed in 1551 at the first printing press in Ireland.
A companion 30p stamp, marking the 300th anniversary of Ireland's first public library, shows a portrait of Archbishop Narcissus Marsh (1638-1713), who built Marsh's Library near St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, in 1701.
The first Book of Common Prayer, produced in England in 1549, was primarily the work of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer of Canterbury. In it, Cranmer drew from the early church fathers, eastern liturgies, the medieval Roman rite, the reformed breviary of Cardinal Francisco Quinones, the Sarum rite of the Mass which had been used throughout England, German church orders, and the daily offices.
Clergy who had been burdened since medieval days with a large number of books for liturgical use now had all the services bound together in one simple printed work that was also available for the laity.
Cranmer's new book also provided for the public reading of the complete Bible in church through the year: the New Testament was to be read every four months, the Old Testament every year, and the Psalter every month.
A year later, in 1550, the Council in Dublin ordered the use of the new prayer book. The "official printer to his Majesty in Ireland", Humphrey Powell, was given a special grant to establish the first printing press in Ireland, and the Book of Common Prayer was printed in Dublin at his new press in 1551.
Although the new book referred to the Eucharist as "The Supper of the Lorde and Holy Communion, commonly called the Masse", Archbishop George Dowdall of Armagh, who had been appointed by Henry VIII, fled his diocese, declaring that the government and the bishops had "demolished the mass to bring in another service of England's making".
A few weeks later, the Book of Common Prayer was used for the first time in Ireland on Easter Day, April 17th, 1551, and the new liturgy was celebrated in the presence of representatives of both church and state, including the Lord Deputy, Sir James Croft, Archbishop George Browne of Dublin, and the Lord Mayor and Bailiffs of the city.
ALTHOUGH the 1549 Book of Common Prayer was revised in England in 1552, Archbishop Browne insisted that the book printed in Dublin remained the only legal liturgy in Ireland, and insisted on using it in 1553 at the consecration of two new bishops, Hugh Goodacre, who died before he could replace Dowdall at Armagh, and the fiery reformer John Bale of Ossory, who complained that the 1549 liturgy was used in Ireland "like a popish mass".
Humphrey's edition of the Book of Common Prayer remained the official prayer book of the Church of Ireland until Edward VI was succeeded by his sister, Mary Tudor. A revised version was introduced in 1560 under Elizabeth I, but a special clause in the legislation allowed services to continue in Latin where the people did not speak English, so long as the new form of service was observed.
The revision of 1662 was a partial return to a more Catholic understanding of liturgy. Its cultural impact remains through its introduction from eastern sources of the concluding doxology in the Lord's Prayer: "For thine is the kingdom …"
Since then, the Book of Common Prayer has been revised in the Church of Ireland in 1877, after disestablishment, and in 1927. The General Synod, which meets in Dublin next month, is in the process of debating the contents of a new edition of the Book of Common Prayer due to be published in 2004, which will contain services in both traditional and contemporary styles.
According to the editor of the new Book of Common Prayer, Canon Brian Mayne, both styles "are being recognised as authentic worship integrities". Of course, the new book will not include the 1549 rite, used in Christ Church Cathedral on Sunday.
But, according to some liturgists, the 1549 rite is among the best liturgies of the Reformation period. The Book of Common Prayer continues to be a work of great poetry and linguistic beauty, and some of its spirit will live on through the use of a traditional language Evensong.
Cranmer's book had a role in shaping modern English that puts it alongside the works of Shakespeare and the King James translation of the Bible, his collects and cadences had far-reaching influences, and his inspired phrases continue to be used commonly.

Praying in Lent and Easter 2021:
60, Waterford's two cathedrals
Holy Trinity Cathedral on Barronstrand Street, Waterford … designed by John Roberts and is the oldest Roman Catholic Cathedral in Ireland (Photograph: Patrick Comerford)
During the Season of Easter this year, I am continuing my theme from Lent, taking some time each morning to reflect in these ways:
1, photographs of a church or place of worship that has been significant in my spiritual life;
2, the day's Gospel reading;
3, a prayer from the prayer diary of the Anglican mission agency USPG (United Society Partners in the Gospel).
Christ Church Cathedral, Waterford … said to be the finest 18th century church building in Ireland, it replaced the earlier cathedral used by Bishop Patrick Comerford in the 17th century (Photograph: Patrick Comerford)
This week, I am offering photographs of churches with close associations with my family and ancestors. My photographs this morning (17 April 2021) are from the two cathedrals in Waterford City.
We are all surprised when we Google our own name, find our own name in an index in a book, or get an email or a parcel intended for someone else with the same name. I still feel uneasy when I see my name on someone else's grave, and I am still slightly surprised, no matter how often I see it, to read the name Patrick Comerford on pillars and plaques in Holy Trinity Cathedral, Waterford.
Indeed, there are two cathedrals in Waterford: the Church of Ireland cathedral on Cathedral Square – Christ Church Cathedral or, more formally, the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity; and the Roman Catholic cathedral on Barronstrand Street – Holy Trinity Cathedral. Both were designed by John Roberts, who shaped much of Georgian Waterford.
For a period in the 1640s, before the Cromwellian siege of Waterford in 1649-1650, the older Church of Ireland cathedral was used by the Roman Catholic diocese, when Patrick Comerford (1586-1652) was Bishop of Waterford and Lismore (1629-1652).
The copes, chasuble, dalmatic and other vestments he had used in Waterford, were long lost and disappeared for generations. A later bishop, John Brenan, claimed the ecclesiastical Patrick Comerford had taken the 'ornaments' of the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore to France.
The City Corporation decided to build a new Church of Ireland cathedral a century later. John Roberts built Christ Church Cathedral (1773-1792) on the site of Waterford's mediaeval Gothic cathedral. He also built a new Roman Catholic cathedral on the site of the old Penal chapel on Barronstrand Street (1793-1796).
During the demolition of the older cathedral, the mediaeval vestments missing since Patrick Comerford left for France in 1651, were found in the crypt. In a gesture of ecumenical goodwill, centuries before ecumenism became standard practice, they were presented by Bishop Richard Chenevix to his Roman Catholic counterpart, Bishop Peter Creagh, and they are now kept in the Museum of Treasures in Waterford and the National Museum in Dublin.
Bishop Patrick Comerford is named twice in tablets in Holy Trinity Cathedral. One plaque lists him with other distinguished theologians, priests and bishops from Waterford, including Peter Lombard, Archbishop of Armagh, James White, the Jesuits Michael Wadding, Peter Wadding and Ambrose Wadding, Thomas Walsh, Archbishop of Cashel, and the historian Geoffrey Keating. A second plaque lists him among the Bishops of Waterford, between Patrick Walsh and John Brenan, who accused him of taking the cathedral vestments with him when he left Waterford.
Bishop Patrick Comerford died at Nantes on 10 March 1652, aged 66, and was buried in Nantes Cathedral with full episcopal honours.
The family tradition continued in the city's cathedrals: Edward Comerford was the organist at Holy Trinity Cathedral until he died in 1894.

John 6: 16-21 (NRSVA):
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 got into a boat, and started across the lake to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The lake became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the lake and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. 20 But he said to them, 'It is I; do not be afraid.' 21 Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land towards which they were going.

After donating to and supporting the project since 2009, the McQuilton family name will now live on in Uganda.
One of the teachers, Mr Karran inventing a reason why Gordon needed to stay late at the hostel in the morning, the rest of the team were able to arrive early to set up a guard of honour before Gordon and his wife Claire arrived separately along with Mr Karran.
As they walked in Gordon and Claire's daughters Phillipa and Maggie stood under the new sign holding up the new uniforms which also contained the McQuilton family name. Gordon was reduced to tears upon realising that the entire family had been honoured and he spoke movingly about his passion for the project.
Gordon McQuilton SOS founder and family with some of the Mydel Academy pupils.
SOS are so proud of the Tiggers (the name given to the volunteers) for their amazing work over the past few years. The students have made a massive difference to the lives of the children who attend the academy and those who will attend the academy in years to come. We are hoping to continue involvement with the next big Uganda project.
Chellaston School became involved in Uganda in 2007 when a group of sixth formers went out to begin work on a project. At the time this trip was down to a teacher at Chellaston School called John Dickens. Unfortunately John passed away before he could actually go out and see the fantastic results achieved by the volunteers. The first building that the Tiggers worked on was named John Dickens House in his memory.
In 2009 SOS first assisted the school by funding a solar panel project. This enabled solar panels to be built on the roof of John Dickens House which was the first residential building built to house the orphans. This was the first time the building has ever had electricity so made a massive impact, providing power for lighting and equipment.
Since then SOS has assisted with funding of other projects at both John Dickens House and at Mengo where the other site, now called the Mydel McQuilton Academy is situated.
This year, the culmination of projects resulted in the upper storey being built by the Tiggers team, enabling classrooms to be located on the new upper storey. The upper storey was all built and completed in just 4 weeks, ready for use by the time the Tigger team left. An amazing achievement.
The Mydel McQuilton Academy now has dormitories for both girls and boys and now has its own classroom facilities with a permanent teacher being funded for the academy. This is obviously going to make a big difference to all the children living at the centre and another hundred children who come in on a daily basis to benefit from the facility as well.
These projects are overseen by Richard Karen every year, he is the driving force behind the project helping co-ordinate the students efforts.
Specialised Orthotic Services continues to support the Uganda projects both at John Dickens House and the Mydel McQuilton Academy. Provisional plans have been made for next year to completely rebuild John Dickens House and no doubt SOS will be involved in that too.
If you would like more information about the project or would like to get involved contact us or get in touch with Chellaston School.


A lot of individuals who are the victim in a car wreck may have a great deal of queries concerning precisely what they need to do after that. They might know they are owed compensation for the damages done to their vehicle as well as their particular doctor bills, yet they might not realize just how to tell if a settlement will probably be adequate to be able to include their expenditures or in case they will need to have assistance in order to get a much higher settlement. Individuals who have questions concerning their own car accident may desire to speak with a Colorado Springs car accident attorney.
The attorney is going to review the information for their circumstance as well as make sure they know if the settlement they were presented is satisfactory. It really is important an individual does this ahead of agreeing to the settlement because in case the settlement isn't satisfactory, there's not very much that can be completed after it has been accepted. If perhaps the individual talks with an attorney at law as well as finds out the settlement offer is not enough to be able to deal with their own costs, the legal professional can help them to negotiate for a higher settlement. The end result and if somebody will need to go to court for resolution can depend upon the facts of the scenario as well as on exactly how much the person must acquire right after the automobile accident.
In case you have been harmed in a motor vehicle accident, ensure you're going to talk with a Colorado Springs auto accident attorney ahead of accepting any kind of settlement offer. Take the time to be able to contact them today to be sure the settlement is going to be sufficient or in order to receive support if perhaps it isn't. Accepting too low of a settlement could mean you'll need to pay expenses all on your own, therefore it really is a good idea to keep away from this if at all possible.

Every morning, Scott goes down to the beach just before sunrise to contemplate life and all the random acts that occurred to get him here. Normally, he comes and watches other people along the shoreline, exercising or just enjoying the sunrise. Everyone is normally so spaced out that Scott still feels like he is alone on his very own secluded beach. That feeling is usually the case, but not on this day. Scott was sitting on a towel, with his feet dug into the soft, warm grains of white sand when he heard the voice of a women behind him.
Scott turned to acknowledge her, surprised anyone wanted to speak to him at all at this time of the morning. She wore all white bikini top and bottom accompanied by a sheer coverup tied at her waist. It danced in the wind while her bleach blonde hair, untamed, did the same. She stood there, smiling in perfection, as she waited for Scott to reply. He took longer than he should have, but not too long to make it stranger than it already felt.
"Scott Pales. I know who are." She interrupted.
That's when the realization of her knowing him, but he not knowing her set in. Was she someone from one of his old jobs I should've remembered? Maybe someone he introduced himself to during one of the many drunken nights out? Who he kidding? It's been two years since had worked and been sober; Scott was drunk most days no matter if it was work or out at night, his memory could no longer decipher from the two.
She giggles again as she walked up beside Scott to take her seat. "Don't worry, Scott. I'm no one from your past that you should know even though I was always there for you. In fact, it would be strange if you did. Although, I have met people that felt I was there, but couldn't explain how. Those are the gifted few." She sat down next to him and he notice her ankle bracelet matches her bikini. A warming sensation overcame Scott's body just as she did sit, but he's sure she has this effect on most people.
"What do you mean you know me and I don't know you? That sounds kind of spooky, Ilisa. Stalkerish, even." He said through a nervous grin.
"I'm no stalker. At least not in the form you see a stalker as. We'll get to how I know your name before the sunrise is over, I promise." She nudged her head in the direction of the sun. He took a quick glance to see the light cascading through the horizon before looking over his shoulder to see if any other uninvited guest would be joining them. A well-toned man jogged by with a headset on. He paid no attention to them and just kept running, focused on his next step.
"Umm..Thanks for the compliment and yeah I do remember what caused it, but not sure if I want to share it with you-Its spooky that you know all this about me, but I know nothing of you." he eased away from her slightly with his head cocked sideways resembling a bewildered puppy.
Scott took her for her word and tried to relax. He thought for a moment and decided that sharing his story with her would be harmless.
What a great start! I usually don't read novels, but this story pulled me in and I found myself wanting to know the next details and content. Looking forward to reading the next one.
Thank you and I'm happy you enjoyed it. I'm going to write a different story every month. I want to perfect my style and messages. I'll have a 500 word short story mid month or so. Really appreciate you for reading it!
I am so interested in your next story. That's an ambitious project that I have faith you'll perfect your creative style. You have a load of imageries, potential and tenacity to be successful. Keep at it!!

AP COVID-19 Crime Health Latest News
Wisconsin hospital worker arrested for spoiled vaccine doses
This article is provided courtesy of the Associated Press.
By TODD RICHMOND Associated Press
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Authorities arrested a suburban Milwaukee pharmacist Thursday suspected of deliberately ruining hundreds of doses of coronavirus vaccine by removing them from refrigeration for two nights.
The arrest marks another setback in what has been a slower, messier start to vaccinate Americans than public health officials had expected. Leaders in Wisconsin and other states have been begging the Trump administration for more doses as health care workers and senior citizens line up for the lifesaving vaccine.
Article continues below...
Police in Grafton, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) north of Milwaukee, said the Advocate Aurora Health pharmacist was arrested on suspicion of reckless endangerment, adulterating a prescription drug and criminal damage to property, all felonies. The pharmacist has been fired and police said in a news release that he was in jail. Police did not identify the pharmacist, saying he has not yet been formally charged.
His motive remains unclear. Police said that detectives believe he knew the spoiled doses would be useless and people who received them would mistakenly think they'd been vaccinated when they hadn't.
Advocate Aurora Health Care Chief Medical Group Officer Jeff Bahr told reporters during a teleconference Thursday afternoon that the pharmacist deliberately removed 57 vials that held hundreds of doses of the Moderna vaccine from refrigeration at a Grafton medical center overnight on Dec. 24 into Dec. 25, returned them, then left them out again on the night of Dec. 25 into Saturday. The vials contained enough doses to inoculate 570 people.
A pharmacy technician discovered the vials outside the refrigerator on Saturday morning. Bahr said the pharmacist initially said that he had removed the vials to access other items in the refrigerator and had inadvertently failed to put them back.
The Moderna vaccine is viable for 12 hours outside refrigeration, so workers used the vaccine to inoculate 57 people before discarding the rest. Police said the discarded doses were worth between $8,000 and $11,000.
Bahr said health system officials grew more suspicious of the pharmacist as they reviewed the incident. After multiple interviews, the pharmacist acknowledged Wednesday that he removed the vaccine intentionally over the two nights, Bahr said.
That means that the doses people received Saturday are all but useless, he said. Moderna has told Aurora that there's no safety concerns, but the hospital system is closely monitoring the people who received the spoiled doses, he said.
Bahr declined to comment on the pharmacist's motive. He said the hospital system's security protocols are sound.
"This was a situation involving a bad actor," he said, "as opposed to a bad process."
The number of COVID-19 cases in Wisconsin has been rising in recent days after dipping in early December. The state Department of Health Services reported 3,810 newly confirmed cases on Thursday, marking the third straight day of rising daily infections. The state has now seen 481,102 cases.
COVID-19 was a factor in 41 more deaths, pushing the state's overall death toll to 4,859. The survival rate remained unchanged at 99%.
A little more than 47,150 people had been vaccinated in Wisconsin as of Monday morning, according to the latest data from the health agency. The state has been allocated 265,575 doses of both the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. As of Monday morning, only about 157,000 doses had arrived.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers wrote a letter to President Donald Trump earlier in December asking him to prioritize more doses for Wisconsin due to high case numbers, swamped hospitals and a lack of statewide mitigation mandates.
The Latest Statistics from the Wyoming Department of Health:
What to do if you are feeling sick: In the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Casper-Natrona County Health Department says that people who are feeling sick or exhibiting symptoms should contact their primary physician.
If you do not have a primary care provider, and live in Natrona County, please contact the COVID-19 hotline, operated by the Casper-Natrona County Department of Health. The line is open Monday – Friday 8:00 am – 5:00 pm 577-9892. Hotline services are intended for Natrona County residents and may not be able to provide specific information to persons calling from out of county.
Officials ask that you please do not self-report to the Emergency Room. Persons experiencing problems breathing should call 9-11.
For general inquiries and non-symptom related questions about COVID-19, please contact the Casper-Natrona County Health Department via email: covid@cnchd.org
Practice Social Distancing by putting distance between yourself and other people. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.
Cover coughs and sneezes. Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.
A list of area closures attributed to COVID-19 are available here.
