Awarded the 'Best Instrumentalist' Award at the Scottish Jazz Awards aged only 20, Fergus McCreadie is one of Scotland's most exciting young artists. For the past 4 years, he has been a mainstay of the Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Aberdeen and Islay Jazz Festivals. His debut album with his trio, 'Turas,' has been praised for 'reflecting his engagement with the Scottish landscape and musical tradition while also showing a firm grasp of the Jazz Piano tradition.' (Jazz In Europe) He is also a member of Graham Costello's STRATA, described as 'groovy yet cerebral' by BBC Radio Scotland, and of the Mark Hendry Octet and the Matthew Carmichael Quartet, both of whom have recently released their debut album.

The short answer is yes. Lot's of people are making huge money as affiliate marketers.
You may recognize some of these big names that use affiliate marketing to make money online.
- Neil Patel
- Tony Robbins
- Tai Lopez
- Pat Flynn
- Brent Hale
- Amy Porterfield
- Mike Dillard
- Tim Ferriss
- and the list goes on and on…
These are heavy hitters and big online brand names but for every one of these millionaire entrepreneurs, there are thousands of people like you earning some extra spending cash or an income to live on.
It is possible and realistic to make $50,000 to $100,000 per year doing this.
Does everyone that tries affiliate marketing make money?
The unfortunate truth is No.
Most people don't put in the time and effort needed to stick it out.
Affiliate marketing is not a get rich quick scheme.
It takes a lot of work and commitment and should be looked at like any other business.
When done right, your income potential is only limited by your strategies and tactics for promoting products on the global market.
The global market is gigantic.
Something I like to tell new people considering this as an income source is this…
There are 3.2 billion people, or almost half of the world's population on the internet today.
They want to learn stuff, buy products and use services just like the rest of us.
And if that's not enough, more people are coming online every day.
Growth in internet users keeps increasing year after year and that only North America and Europe are seeing penetration rates of greater than 75%.
This means that there are new people getting on the internet every single day.
And… they are spending a lot of money too
More than $1.2 million is spent online every 30 seconds.
Think about that number for a second…
One point two million dollars, every 30 seconds.
Let's break it down even further.
- $684,669 is spent on credit, debit, prepaid and store cards
- $516,504 in alternative payments
- Amazon does almost $100,000 all by itself
- eBay does $74,423 in business
- Apple does $17,803
- Facebook does $5,483
- Pinterest does $4,504
- Twitter does $4,308
All in 30 seconds.
The point I'm trying to make here is that there's plenty of customers and money going around for people like you to make money as an affiliate marketer for many many years to come.
With that much money & people: Why do so many people fail at Affiliate Marketing?
Yes, the failure rate for affiliate marketers is high. I read recently that;
95% of Internet marketers and affiliate marketers fail to make any money online
That sucks but, don't let it get you down.
Too many people try and take the easy way, fail and quit because affiliate marketing is not the get rich quick scheme they thought it was.
I guess the 95% failure rate makes sense if you think about the vast number of people who want to "ditch the 9to5 and make money from home".
The truth is, affiliate marketing works but like Tomas Edison once said;
"Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work."
If you are willing to be constantly learning, do the work, and you think you can build an audience around a niche subject or topic then affiliate marketing is probably for you.
A note on Income Expectations
There are many people making millions of dollars both as product creators and affiliate marketers. However, this is not typical.
Most people that try to do affiliate marketing fail. This is not because it doesn't work, it's usually because people don't know how to do it and their expectations of the time it takes to become successful at it is just too short. Too many shortcuts and too little focus.
It is entirely possible to make a 5 figure income and even 6 figure income if you get the right knowledge and skills, focus your time and energy and accept that building an income online with affiliate marketing takes time and perseverance through many challenges and difficulties.
You can do it. Just get started and keep moving forward.

Oil held losses below $64 a barrel as concerns over rising American crude inventories and slowing growth in the world's biggest economy weighed on sentiment.
Futures in New York were little changed after dropping 0.8 percent on Monday. U.S. stockpiles, already at the highest since 2017, are set to rise for a fourth week, according to a Bloomberg survey before data due Wednesday. The S&P 500 Index of stocks halted three days of gains on Monday as disappointing bank earnings raised questions about the resilience of corporate America.
West Texas Intermediate for May delivery declined 4 cents to $63.36 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange as of 9:27 a.m. in Singapore after rising as much as 0.3 percent earlier. The contract fell 49 cents to $63.40 on Monday.

Time for another session with strength training. I can feel that I'm struggling to maintain my achieved strength-level from the basic-period in the first quarter. It will be interesting to see if that's a fact when I enter a new basic-period in the fourth quarter this year. After not training strength the last week I get a bit rusty. Afterwards I get pretty worn in my muscles. It's important to be consistent with the strength-training as well, I think.
Anyway, I had a good session, but I'm a bit reduced due to ligth fluea. I do hope the fluea passes away without to much annoyance.

Regret is a silly word. I hate to use it in any context… but here I am, thinking back and realizing there's something I truly regret about my past travel experiences. I got to reminiscing the other day, and the more I looked through pictures, journals, and thought back to distant memories, the more I realized how much I missed out on during most of my visits.
For example: I looked back on my magical week in Paris. I quickly fell in love with the beautiful architecture, crepes on the street and graffiti lined walls… until I realized how little I truly knew about Paris at the time. I didn't know what part of the Louvre I'd be dying to see, or what part of the city was the most frequented by locals, or even read a book about the Palace of Versailles. What a fool I was!
The lucky thing about regret is that it can be dismissed. Instead of carrying a heavy burden, I've made a list of all the things I will do differently when I visit sweet Pari again.
1. Climb the Arc de Triomphe
I'd start with forgetting the view from the Eiffel Tower, and focus on climbing the Arc de Triomphe. Not only is the arch is older than the Eiffel Tower, but the lines are far shorter and it is also home to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, whose eternal flame is re-lit every evening at 6:30pm. Talk about beautiful.
2. Do Palace of Versailles the "Right Way"
Spend an entire day at the Palace of Versailles. First and foremost, I'd like to get caught up on some Versailles history… there is so much ancestry and heritage, and as a silly 14 year old I missed more than half of it. I'd like to read stories and excerpts, and then see them come to life as I stroll through the gardens and admire the ceilings within the castle.
3. Visit Shakespeare and Company
As a true lover of literature, I don't know how I missed out on visiting the Shakespeare and Company bookstore. I'll be hitting myself over the head on that one. On my next trip to Paris, I will make a point of visiting and basking in the place that inspired and supported so many famous writers, including Ernest Hemingway.
4. Check Out the Top Paris Nightlife Districts
I loved sitting by the Eiffel Tower and enjoying a cheap bottle of wine (that doesn't taste quite as cheap when the label is all in French!). However, I never got to experience real Parisian nightlife. Mainly because our hotel was far too many metro stops away from Sain-Germain-des-Pres, which is the only one we knew about at the time. Here's a great link that breaks down the party districts, and where to get a great cocktail: Top Paris Nightlife Districts. This is certainly at the top of my list!
Do you have any regrets about traveling? Do you have any suggestions for really awesome things to do in Paris? Let me know, because we all know I can use all the help I can get.

Mobile Phone Tracking In Beijing to Ease Traffic CongestionTue 08 Mar, 2011 // Firstnumber Team
The Chinese government plans to track Beijing citizens via their mobile phones in a project overseen by the Beijing municipal science and technology commission. The aim of the project is the alleviation of traffic congestion in the city by monitoring the flow of people through various transport systems.
The public will be able to buy the information gathered by the authorities with a view to analyse the level of traffic passing through a specific method of transport in a particular area at any given time, thus allowing for greater journey planning and journey time efficiency.
However, human rights campaigners have argued that this is simply another tool with which the government will wield control over the citizens of Beijing, by monitoring their whereabouts and daily routines. A professor of wireless communications at Beijing University, whilst not opposed to the scheme, expressed his belief that the use of the tracking will not be limited to the ease of traffic congestion. Professor Chen Derong said:
Certainly the use of the platform will not be limited to gathering traffic information. Officials in other areas, such as anti-terrorism and stability maintenance, will also find it useful.
Many have voiced their concerns regarding the move, branding it as "part of the escalation of the use of technologies to control social discontent" to use the words of Wang Songlian of the Chinese Human Rights Defenders network. She also cited the implementation of obligatory registration for individuals purchasing a SIM card in 2010 as a precedent for the latest pilot scheme to be put into practice in the Beijing area.
Over recent months, censorship and control of disobedient citizens has become something of a hot topic throughout the world, gaining high levels of media coverage, from suppression of outright support for Nobel Prize winner 'Uncle Xiaobo', to the recent attempts to contain the 'Jasmine Revolution' protests.
For many, the mobile phone tracking is the latest in a long line of attempts to keep tabs on the Chinese population. The Chinese government however, proclaim the pragmatism of the project, ensuring citizens that efficiency and convenience are the sole driving forces behind the scheme.

Residential Carpet Cleaning in El Paso
If your carpets are giving off a dingy luster, it may be time for some residential carpet cleaning. Whether you want to get rid of germs, dander, and mites, or want to brighten up your carpet, we can help. Our experts can give you the results you are looking for.
Make Your Carpets Sparkle Again
One of the biggest complaints we hear from homeowners is that their carpets are looking dingy or stained. It seems like no matter how many times you scrub a spot, it just resurfaces after a week or two. That's because oil, juice, pet fluid, and more get down deep into the fibers. With foot traffic, the stains just come back to the top. Dirt seems to cling to these spots. If you have children, pets, or lots of traffic through your home, you probably struggle with this problem on a daily basis. Getting regular residential carpet cleaning done in your home can make a world of difference. Be sure to take a look at our before and after pictures to get an idea of what we can do for you.
Cleaning the Germs
The trouble with carpet is the fact that so many germs lurk within the fibers. Many people do a great job of keeping their floors stain free. Some homeowners even go through the trouble of vacuuming on a regular basis. However, this isn't enough to get out the unseen threats of germs hiding in the fibers. Philip Tierno, Jr., Ph.D., microbiologist, immunologist, and author of The Secret Life of Germs claims that carpet can harbor up to 200,000 bacteria per square inch. This is even dirtier than a toilet. Norovirus, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, and E. Coli are just a few of the bacteria that can be lingering in your carpet. On top of that, the warm thick fibers can also harbor dust, dander, mites, and other allergens. Relying on residential carpet cleaning twice a year can be a great way to keep your family safe from illness caused by these bacteria hiding in your flooring.
How Residential Carpet Cleaning Can Help
The intense steam cleaning services our experts at Steamway Carpet Cleaning offer are a great way to keep your carpets clean. Not only will your floors look great, but you can rest easy knowing that the high heat and cleaning action of our residential carpet cleaning is killing germs and allergens. We can't guarantee your kids won't spill grape juice within the week, but we can guarantee that the customer service and cleaning that we deliver will be top-notch. We strive to give every customer the quality service they deserve. Contact us today for more information.

Calavista looked to Left Right Media to modernize their brand and website.
Calavista's team has decades of combined experience, with specialities ranging from software development to software testing, process consulting, DevOps, and project management. After 16 years of building a successful and reputable company, Calavista enlisted LRM's help to modernize and revamp their brand leading into 2018.
It was crucial that our design conveyed both seasoned experience
and the team's open-minded development approach. We used the following design principles to guide our work on this project:
- We want to be intentional with all our decisions.
- We don't want to overwhelm our audience.
- We don't want to look too trendy or young.
- We want to be seen as experienced and innovative.
- We want to be portrayed as professionals amongst our peers.
The brand and website needed to be professional, but not stuffy; modern, but not trendy.
Art Direction
Art direction incorporated energizing brand colors, bold typography, and artful depictions of technology. The brand and website needed to establish trust with potential clients while also incorporating exciting elements that illustrated their willingness to try new processes on behalf of their clients.
Calavista's logo went through multiple rounds of ideation. We were inspired by the original mark, which was intended to represent the connection between art and science — a guiding principle to Calavista's work. Initial logo marks showed an evolution of the original paint palette with the company's new brand colors. Further logo exploration included a wordmark with artistic icons, which represented Calavista's team dynamic and development ideologies.
We were inspired by the original mark, which was intended to represent the connection between art and science
The final logo incorporated two C's coming together to form one unit — just as Calavista's team blends with their clients to solve business problems through software. We chose to use blue tones as the dominant color to establish trust with consumers, while reserving red for website calls-to-action.
Web Design
A guiding principle for the design of Calavista's brand and website was simplicity. Visually, we modernized the site and developed an information hierarchy that considered the user personas of their target audience. To supplement the design, we also crafted compelling headlines, taglines and body copy that took advantage of Calavista's unique position in the marketplace. The combination of these efforts allows Calavista to showcase their level of expertise and the caliber of their work in the software development industry.
The combination of these efforts allows Calavista to showcase their level of expertise and the caliber of their work
Calavista's refreshed brand puts them in a position to continue to raise the bar in the software development industry. The website redesign serves as a platform for Calavista's new podcast series, Calavista Conversations, where CMO Sloan Foster hosts a myriad of guests on numerous topics, all focused around software development and its best practices.
The company is committed to solving complex problems and making the world a better place through technology, and their new brand and website will help them do just that by reaching more businesses than ever.
Calavista's new identity allows them to create ongoing marketing efforts that position the company as an authority in the development space.

Transport in Luxembourg is ensured principally by road, rail and air. There are also services along the River Moselle which forms the border with Germany. The road network has been significantly modernised in recent years with motorways to adjacent countries. The advent of the high-speed TGV link to Paris has led to renovation of the city's railway station while a new passenger terminal at Luxembourg Airport has recently been opened. There are plans to introduce trams in the capital and light-rail lines in adjacent areas.
Operated by Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois (CFL), Luxembourg's railways form the backbone of the country's public transport network, linking the most important towns. The total length of operational (standard gauge) track is 274 km, though it was some 550 km at the end of the Second World War. There are regular services from Luxembourg City to Ettelbruck, Esch-sur-Alzette, Wasserbillig and Kleinbettingen while international routes extend to Trier, Brussels, Liège, Metz and Nancy.[1]
The railway network links into Belgium, Germany and France. Some of the cross-border services are run by CFL, others by SNCF, NMBS/SNCB and DB.
There is now a frequent high-speed connection to Paris via the LGV Est line.
The six Luxembourg motorways cover a total distance of 147 km, linking the capital with Trier (Germany), Thionville (France) and Arlon (Belgium) as well as with Esch-sur-Alzette and Ettelbruck in Luxembourg. Luxembourg's motorways are toll free. The speed limit is normally 130 km/h, 110 km/h in rainy weather. With 56.8 km of motorway per 1,000 km2, Luxembourg probably now has the highest density of motorways in Europe.[2]
The remaining road network in Luxembourg accounts for a total length of 2,820 km, consisting of 798 km of trunk roads (RN or routes nationales) and 2,022 km of secondary roads (CR or chemins ruraux).[3]
Comprehensive bus services linking the towns and villages of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg are controlled by the RGTR (Régime général des transports routiers) under the Ministry of Transport.[4]
Luxembourg City is served by 163 buses transporting some 28 million passengers per year (2007). There are 25 regular bus routes plus special bus services through the night.[5]
The TICE or Syndicat des tramways intercommunaux dans le canton d'Esch/Alzette operates several bus routes in the south-east of the country.[6]
CFL, the Luxembourg railway company, operates some 17 bus routes, mainly serving towns and villages not accessible by rail.[7]
Luxembourg's last tramline closed in 1964 but the city is now planning to reintroduce trams by 2017, initially from the central station to Kirchberg and then to Luxembourg Airport.[8] There are also plans to create light rail networks in several areas near the capital.
The River Moselle forms a 42 km natural border between Luxembourg and Germany in the south-east of the country. Especially in the summer months, the Marie-Astrid tourist boat operates regular services along the river.[9]
Mertert near Grevenmacher on the Moselle is Luxembourg's only commercial port. With two quays covering a total length of 1.6 km, it offers facilities connecting river, road and rail transport. It is used principally for coal, steel, oil, agricultural goods and building materials.[10]
Luxembourg Airport at Findel, some 6 km to the north of the city, is Luxembourg's only commercial airport. Thanks to its long runway (4,000 m), even the largest types of plane are able to use its facilities.[11]
Luxair, Luxembourg's international airline, and Cargolux, a cargo-only airline, operate out of the airport. In 2008, the airport ranked as Europe's 5th largest and the world's 23rd by cargo tonnage.[12]
Luxair has regular passenger services to 20 European destinations and operates tourist flights to 17 more.[13] Other airlines operating flights to and from Luxembourg include British Airways, KLM, SAS, Swiss European Air Lines, and TAP Portugal.
A large new airport terminal building was opened in 2008 with excellent facilities, including a huge underground carpark.
The trunk natural gas pipelines in Luxembourg have a total length of 155 km (2007).[14]
Russia and Norway are the main producers. The Luxembourg network is connected to Germany, France and Belgium.[15]

Vastavam web: The U.S.-China trade war will be fought in the trenches, and it's going to get ugly. The first round of tariffs hits on Friday, and U.S. President Donald Trump says they might come to cover more than $500 billion of goods. Exporters will feel the pain first, but uncertainty will also dampen investment, impede research and twist reform. It marks a moment of mourning for those who hoped the world's two largest economies could work things out.The American tariffs kick in after midnight in Washington (0401 GMT) on July 6, covering $34 billion of imports. That will be followed by taxes on another $16 billion. Trump said Thursday that the final amount of imports covered could exceed $500 billion. Beijing will retaliate in kind, at least at the start.
More damage could come from economic aftershocks. Equity markets in China and the United States have swooned already, in part because investors worry that global supply chains will need to reroute. Some American businesses say they are already scaling back or postponing capital spending because of uncertainties around trade, according to minutes from the Federal Open Market Committee. In China, the government has been forced to moderate monetary policy to cushion financial markets.In the People's Republic, Reuters reported the bureaucracy may have already started to move against American companies. Administrative punishments can range from approval delays to product boycotts to blocking deals – like Qualcomm's attempt to buy NXP. In addition, China's reform process might slow, as officials hold back liberalisations for use as concessions during future negotiations.

Guidelines for Choosing the Best Medical Appointment Service Center
You need to book an appointment with the medical centers in Fredericksburg since there are readily available and get to experience the medical services. You are supposed to book an appointment for your body check once you have any problem that needs a medical attention or medical services where you can get this from the medical centers. It is crucial to be having regular checkups for you to stay and live a healthy life. You can find a number of medical appointment center in Fredericksburg and you need to choose the best of all, hence this becomes difficult just to pinpoint a medical center. The following are guidelines to consider when selecting the best medical appointment center for medical services in the center, this include.
Services cost is the first factor to consider. When you are booking a medical appointment, you are expected of you to know the cost of services charge since some services must be paid for them to be delivered. You are supposed to know the consultation fee charges in the medical centers for proper planning since some centers charge while others don't charge. You need to consider the service cost of the medical services when booking a appointment since some are very expensive and others are cheap, you need to choose the one that the cost is favorable and affordable to you in comparison to the services offered.
Service offered is the next factor. You are supposed to know first the variety of the services delivered in a medical center before booking a medical appointment. Some of the medical centers have more specialist doctors than others hence the services are not similar, there for you need to know the services that you need and know it is available in the medical center for booking.
A license is another factor to consider. Medical services center need to have a legal permit allowing them to do the activities. License assures that the services that will be offered will be of high quality hence meeting your needs due to the fact that there are qualified doctors and necessary equipment hence your needs will be met by the medical center.
There is the guideline of reputation of the medical center. You are expected of you to book a medical appointment center that is reputable on its service delivery. This indicate that the services and the medical services are the best since the patient have experienced this, good repudiation is very important and you need to choose that medical cent and book an appointment. You can also ask for referrals from your friends for the best medical center and book an appointment with them.

The high speed of the train group will give a series of questions about the railway braking system capacity and smooth operation of the train. (The train braking system energy of the train group is more than four times that of the ordinary train due to the square of the railway railway braking system energy and the speed.) Therefore, the performance and composition of the railway train system of the train group, Railway Brake System And our current passenger train is completely different.
The high-speed train fleet must be equipped with a high-efficiency and high-safety railway braking system that provides the means of speeding and stopping the railway braking system for normal operation of the train; and in the event of an accident or other necessary, Railway Brake System Moving system distance. In general, the train group's railway braking system should have the following characteristics:
One, high security
High-speed train group railway braking system system of railway braking system with strong, fast response, with a very high security; Railway Brake System in the structure of the specific performance in the following two aspects:
(A) the use of electric and air joint railway braking system model, electric railway braking system priority, and generally equipped with anti-skid device. The combination of the electric railway brake system and the air rail brake system ensures that the train has sufficient force on the railway brake system at a large speed range and that the installation of the anti-skid device allows the adhesion between the wheel and rail to be fully utilized Effectively shortening the railway braking system distance. Electric railway braking system is easy to use because of easy control, and can greatly reduce the air rail brake system components wear, Railway Brake System and therefore be given priority.
(B) control the use of electronic control, through or computer control of electrical instructions and other sensitive and rapid system. These devices make the reaction of the railway braking system more rapid and further shorten the distance of the railway braking system.
Second, the control is accurate
The railway braking system is controlled by computer. It can provide the necessary railway brake system force to ensure the accurate operation of the train. Railway Brake System The model of the compound railway braking system is designed reasonably to make the different types of railway braking system The combination of the role.
Third, high comfort
The time and deceleration of the railway train system of the high-speed train group is much larger than that of the ordinary passenger train, so the corresponding measures are taken to improve the longitudinal comfort of the passenger's ride. The average deceleration of the railway braking system, Railway Brake System the maximum deceleration and the longitudinal impulse Indicators are higher than ordinary passenger trains. The main measures taken are:
(A) the use of computer-controlled electrical command railway braking system can achieve the optimal control of the railway braking system process, and to improve the average deceleration while minimizing the deceleration rate of change;
(B) to reduce the train in different vehicles, Railway Brake System the difference between the railway braking system forces to ease the longitudinal impact between vehicles.
(3) The anti-skid device can also avoid the abrasion of the wheel tread surface due to insufficient adhesion between the wheel and rail, and then prevent the smooth running of the train, improve the ride comfort, Railway Brake System and avoid the additional stress on the axle and other components.
Fourth, high reliability
(A) the use of "fail-safe" mechanism (fail-safe), in order to railway braking system system failure, to the safe direction.
Such as high-speed train group is generally equipped with air rail brake system, computer-controlled electric railway brake system and computer network three railway brake system control mode. Railway Brake System In normal operation, the computer network control and transmission of all the vehicles of the railway brake system information. When the control system fails, it can automatically switch to the action of the electric railway brake system. In the event of an electrical fault or an electric railway brake system failure, it is possible to rely on a pure air railway brake system to ensure the railway braking system distance in an undesirable state.
In addition, in the high-speed train group computer control of the railway brake system control process requires a lot of information input, digital operation and output instructions, in order to prevent failure, in the design of the command system also consider the corresponding reliability measures.
(B) the "fool-proof" design, so that unskilled operators can also reliably implement the functions of the railway braking system.
Fifth, easy maintenance
The train group in the design of the development of the fault can be self-diagnostic self-diagnostic function, and reduce the wear parts, greatly reducing the maintenance workload.
Six, the railway brake system device lightweight
The railway braking system uses a modular design and improves and integrates railway brake system components for small and lightweight.
Such as high-speed train group can be air rail brake system of electrical - air - hydraulic way into electrical - hydraulic direct conversion mode, eliminating the auxiliary air cylinder, booster cylinder and a large number of air piping; to achieve small and lightweight, can reduce the quality About 2/3. Also, for example, Railway Brake System in the air train brake system control device of the train group, the various valves and doors are centrally mounted in front of the aluminum alloy mounting plate to reduce the quality and reduce the maintenance and maintenance work

An assembly line is a division of a construction procedure that involves parts or components being supplemented to products like mechanical assemblies, resilient goods, or cars. It can comprise connecting particular components of a product, or the complete construction of an item and prepared for distribution. Individuals who take care of this job are called assembly workers or assembly line workers. Assemblers are mainly working in a team setting, guided by instructions and linking pieces of components to create a certain consumer product.
Education and Qualifications
The educational requirements for an assembly line position are normally low, and most of the time it depends on their specific designation. There are designations for assemblers, which gives them specific duties in the field. Weighers, Samplers, and Sorters on usually need to have a high school diploma to get the job.
One significant prerequisite for assemblers is they need to have undergone training or have a certificate to operate machinery. Assembly line workers frequently work in rotating shifts. Lofty excellence and high level work is expected of them and quotas are habitually put in place to persuade high production. Assembly line workers who are successful are hardworking and patient employees that are focused, pay attention to details, and execute recurring responsibilities over extensive phases of time. They are bodily fit, security cognizant, and able to work soundly with others.
Duties and Responsibilities
Assembly line jobs have different positions ranging from assemblers to production line managers, so duties and responsibilities differ for specific positions. However, in general, they are the ones who bring together and manufacture splices, shims, and gussets. They also manufacture plastic frames, wires, and metal pieces. They are the ones in charge of supporting and assisting structure installation and assemblage. Assembly line workers are also the ones who carry out structural assembly tasks like fittings, reworking, and bulkhead assemblies. Their duties and responsibilities also cover understanding illustrated designs, blueprints, and layouts relating to assembly functions.
Assemblers are prone to hazardous incidents and accidents which are technically part of their daily job responsibilities. Assembly line workers work in deafening shops and industrial units surrounded by hazardous and large equipments. Precarious machinery exposes assembly line workers to the hazard of back, hand and arm injuries, as well as the danger of internal injuries, buns and even probable death. Considering the danger that assemblers have to face they are compensated well, but most of the time it depends on the company they are working with.
The average assembly line worker's annual salary is $20,000 – $40,000 per year which includes overtime pas, profit sharing, and bonuses. Some assemblers from other companies receive $40,000 – $50,000 per year. In BMW's assembly line, the average salary they get in a year is around 40,000 euros. They have been the world's first blue-chip company to develop a new pay structure that links the bonuses of its top executives to the wages of regular workers. The assembly line workers, or the blue-collar men, will be the last to feel the pain if sales slumps.*

Because I'm holidaying in South Beach at the moment, I was more interested in enjoying the sun than catching every detail of today's product announcements from Apple.
I did, however, follow the event On my iPhone, via the live feed provided by The Verge. And it didn't disappoint! Finally: new Apple Watch bands!! Just kidding. They're nice, but I was mainly interested in the new iPad Pro.
It looks like all of the rumours came to pass – it's a 9.7 inch iPad Pro, works with Apple Pencil and has quad speakers. It has a powerful chip and some (not really predicted) interesting screen technology. In addition, it comes in a 256GB flavour, which got me very excited. All my mobile devices are chock-a-block with media (films, TV shows, podcasts, comics, magazines), so extra space is always welcome.
I honestly need to do a bit more research, but I think it's probable that I'll place an order for a 256GB model with wifi and cellular on March 24th. I'll also "need" an Apple Pencil and the smart keyboard. But I'll only buy the latter if they have a UK model. Can't be doing with using a foreign keyboard some of the time and a UK one on my MacBook and my iMac. Experience has shown my brain is in sufficiently plastic to deal with that kind of nonsense.
As for the new iPhone SE? Meh. I'm not sure I could go back to such a small screen after my iPhone 6s Plus! Right now I find @FrankDJS's iPhone 6S dinky when I have to pick it up. A 4-inch screen would be beyond me.
And now, back to the sun!

9) Which of these statements is syntactically legal? Why?
Const Z = -+-+-+-10
(b) Const Y = 2 + 2
(c) Const X = .1e310
(d) Dim W(+10)
(a) is legal. The rest are illegal.
(a) is legal because you can put as many unary positive or negative operators on top of a constant as you want, so long as it's a numeric constant.
(b) is illegal; as I've discussed before, we do not support "constant folding" in VBScript.(c) is illegal because it's outside the range of a float.(d) is illegal because, bizarrely enough, dimension lists must be just straight integers, no operators whatsoever.
Clearly VBScript is inconsistent insofar as how unary operators and constants work together. These inconsistencies are one those unfortunate corner cases that got missed when the parser was designed.
10) Which of these statements is syntactically legal? Why?
If Blah Then Foo Else Bar
(b) If Blah Then If Foo Then Bar
(c) If Blah Then Foo Bar Else Bar Foo
(d) If Blah Then Foo Bar End If
(a) is illegal, the rest are legal.
The VBScript single-line
If-statement parser is all screwed up. Again, some of these were bugs in the first version that we couldn't fix without breaking compatibility, and some are just plain bugs that never got fixed for no particular reason.
(b) is perfectly legal, nothing odd here.
(a) is legal in VB6 but not in VBScript because of a mistake. The parser sees IF ID THEN ID ELSE... and tries to parse "ID ELSE" as a statement. The statement processor
(correctly)thinks that the id is a procedure call and it tries to parse the argument list. The argument list processor should detect theElse and figure oh, I'm in anIf and the statement is done, but it doesn't figure that out, it just creates a syntax error.(c) is legal because in this case the argument list parser finds an argument list before the Else and doesn't freak out.
A number of people pointed out that having both
Foo Bar and Bar Foo in the same program is a little weird. Yes, it is! But the question was what is syntactically legal, not what makes sense. And in fact, it is possible for this to work:
Class ABC
Public Default Sub DEF(X)
Msgbox X.Name
End Sub
Public Name
End Class
Set Foo = New ABC
Foo.Name = "Foo"
Set Bar = New ABC
Bar.Name = "Bar"
Blah = True
If Blah Then Foo Bar Else Bar Foo
(d) is another mistake. The VB6 parser does not allow this, but VBScript does. As with #8, we couldn't fix it when we found it because it would have broken existing ASP page and web pages. The
End If is ignored.
Funny story: I actually fixed this one for a beta release of the engines and a certain influential news site was broken by the fix. Bizarrely enough they had a web page with this syntax in it. They said they would give the new version of IE a bad review if upgrading broke even a single one of their hundreds of thousands of pages! Backwards compatibility is very, very important in the scripting world. Of course we rolled the change back, and there's a comment in the code now cautioning future maintenance programmers to never change it.

As the year goes on, many conversations will be had about dressing for the weather and the activities we wish to participate in. In order to know each child's threshold for cold, wet, and warmth, the children will need to challenge the limits of their clothing. Are you comfortable? How do you feel? Can you tell me how it happened?
This will be the first of many puddle jumping session at Natoaganeg School :)

The Ambras Palace, located in Innsbruck, was built by Archduke Ferdinand II half a millennium ago, and has played host to an invaluable collection of art and artifacts ever since.
You can't tell the story of Austria's history without telling that of Archduke Ferdinand II (1529-1595), a renaissance prince who elevated the nation's arts and sciences in his lifetime -- and in the centuries to come, via the sumptuous Ambras collections.
This assemblage of historic pieces resides in the grand Ambras Palace, perched in splendor above Innsbruck. The institution features a reconstruction of the Archduke's Gallery of Arts and the Gallery of Wonders (Wunderkammer), the armory and the Hall of Antiquities.
The residential rooms of the upper palace now house a Habsburg portrait gallery, with paintings of Albrecht III (1349-1395) to Emperor Franz I (1768-1835). More than 200 pieces by famous old masters are on display, including Titian, Lukas Cranach and Diego Velásquez. The most important showpiece of the late-medieval works: the Georg Altar of the Emperor Maximilian I.

Charvers (thats the North East name but to most people it's *****), they are the biggest drain on society the world has ever seen. Ever had your nearest bus stop smashed to oblivion? Or ever seen the tremendous amounts of chewy embedded into the ground of your local shopping centre? Yes. You can guaruntee a charver did it… any money on that.
So… you walk through South Shields town centre. Yes… there's chewy embedded into the ground. Yes there's smashed up bus shelters. Yes.. there's a JJB sports, a New Look, a Pound Shop, a Woolworths, and about 200 "offies" or off licences to decent members of society (i.e. not *****)
It may sound like your typical, **** invested town. And yes… you can say it is… but I can put forward an argument… that this town is the worst, most diabolically ****- ruled town in our poor **** invested country…
In South Shields, ***** are spread around like some sort of flesh eating virus, making their mark everywhere they go. And I dont just mean graffiti… but pissing all over the place too. A South Shields male **** would more than likely be too damn lazy to go find a toilet, and mark his territory on the side of a metro station ticket machine. And is he ashamed? Ha! of course he's not. He's all "aye man howay, im a fuckin maxa waxa ragin charv and i fuckin rule sooth shields like!", soon after, pulling out one of his cigarettes right next to a no smoking sign, whilst holding a bottle of bellabrusco or lambrini in his other hand. What pleasant people surround us everyday. There's just charvers EVERYWHERE you go in South Shields…I think they should be wiped out. I think if there's one thing that should be done for the world, it should be to send all charvs to death camps.
Thanks for Reading
President of the worldwide organisation of KAC (kill all charvs)

With personal finance, the habits we have can either make us successful or cause us to stagnate. If you have been struggling with your finances, take a look at this list and make sure you are not bringing yourself down with any of these habits;
1. Procrastination
Are you one of those "I'll start saving tomorrow" kind of people. We all procrastinate at times but there are people who are always telling themselves they will do something later or the next day. Procrastinating is one of those habits that may end up costing you not only time but money as well.
Here are a couple of ways that you procrastinating your financial freedom;
- Paying your bills and loans late causing you to have to pay more money as interest.
- Purchasing certain things late e.g event tickets, plane tickets thus you end up buying with the highest price.
- Never settling on a financial plan or taking a decision to save/invest when the stakes are good.
- Not preparing a monthly budget on time and by the time you get your income, you end up spending impulsively.
Do you know any other ways people procrastinate their financial freedom? Feel free to share them in the comment section below.
2. Impulse Buying
Giving in into impulse buying is not only hard on your wallet in the short term but it also prevents you from developing good financial practices in the long term. It is okay to treat yourself once in a while but it is important to be clear about what you want and what you need.
Here are some reasons why people impulse buy;
- Buying items on sale to 'save money' even if you do not really need them.
- You want to fit into trends so as to conform to your friends and the society.
- Doing too much window shopping both online and at physical stores.
You can avoid impulse buying by;
- Planning for big purchases
- Knowing your triggers, what makes you impulse buy?
- Finding ways to treat and reward yourself without spending money.
- Remembering the past losses that you made from impulse buying.
- Budgeting always.
- Carrying fixed cash and avoiding having too much cash in your MPESA or shopping using your bank card
- Setting financial goals and following through.
3. Ignorance
There is nothing worse than being ignorant or uneducated with your personal money matters. No one expects you can be an expert on finance but at least gain knowledge on the basics of investments, savings, mortgages, insurance, budget, interest rates, etc.
There is no excuse for ignorance, it is actually costly when you hit 50, you've had a great career but you have nothing to show for it. Take some time to educate yourself on things like banking, interests, unit trusts, shares and insurance. The internet is at your fingertips with all this information and we are also here to help.
Instead of watching too much T.V and talking about politics all day long, pick a book on finance and investment or take up a personal finance course. Your future self will thank you for it.
4. Not saving for retirement
When you are young, in your 20's, through your 30's, it is easy to think that you have your whole life ahead of you. We'll, just ask someone who is 60 and they will tell you that if they could, they would save for their retirement from as early as their first salary.
Most jobs both in the public and private sector provide you with a retirement/pension scheme but that isn't entirely enough. It limits you to what you can and cannot do in your old age because you have to wait for a fixed monthly deposit which isn't much.
At that stage of your life, you want to be independent and have a fairly comfortable life. Please don't keep living without a retirement plan. The earlier you start, the better. As you try to make ends meet and achieve your financial goals, put a retirement plan in the equation.
5. Ignoring Insurance
I know that insurance has a bad reputation in Kenya and love it or hate it, insurance is an important part of any financial plan. Basic insurance you shouldn't ignore is health insurance and insuring valuable property such as your car or house.
We cannot control everything that happens and that is why insurance is important, to prepare you for the worst. One accident can totally wipe out your investments.
However, before settling on an insurance cover, do your research and ask people who have been insured before preferably close friends for their honest opinion on certain policies.
Final Word
Are you guilty of any of the above habits? If you know any other detrimental money habits, feel free to share them in the comment section below.

The Dreamers
by Theodosia Garrison
The gypsies passed her little gate
She stopped her wheel to see
A brown-faced pair who walked the road,
Free as the wind is free;
And suddenly her tidy room
A prison seemed to be.
Her shining plates against the walls,
Her sunlit, sanded floor,
The brass-bound wedding chest that held
Her linen's snowy store,
The very wheel whose humming died,
Seemed only chains she bore.
She watched the foot-free gypsies pass;
She never knew or guessed
The wistful dream that drew them close
The longing in each breast
Some day to know a home like hers,
Wherein their hearts might rest.
These words from the poet Theodosia Garrison were shared by a dear friend of mine a long time ago.
I'll always remember the occasion. Because, you see, my friend was lovingly reminding me that I was missing out on the life I had in hand while wishing I had something else. What a shame so many lives are wasted in this same way.
God gives us everything we need for life and happiness, but we sometimes fail to see it. Instead, we wish we had more money, a better education, a nicer house; the list goes on and on.
Paul tells us in Philippians 4:11 that he has learned to be content with whatever he has.
When I consider the condition of life in countries like Myanmar or Moore Oklahoma, I am sorely ashamed of my discontent. Things are not always what they seem. Sometimes we are so much better off than we imagine.
May God give us eyes to see how truly blessed we are.

What Has God Separated You To Do?January 25, 2019
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
— Acts 13:2
When I made my first missions trip to the USSR, it was in the spring of 1991, just months before the Soviet Union finally dissolved. I was shocked by how dilapidated everything seemed to be. From what I observed, the mighty USSR was worn out and falling apart. The streets, sidewalks, cars, shops, people's clothing — everything I saw — simply looked either broken, exhausted, or worn out.
I checked into my hotel, and when I pulled the curtains back to give me a view of the street below, they were so rotten that they ripped right off the curtain rod into my hands. For the rest of my stay there, I had no curtains. There was a dead mouse in one corner of the room, and the shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned in decades. I was simply stunned that a global superpower that had kept the rest of the world in fear for so many years was so utterly dilapidated.
The next morning after our arrival, my teammates and I walked to the building where the first aboveground Bible school was being conducted — the first in more than 70 years. Two hundred and twenty students had gathered from every republic of the USSR to attend the school, and I wept when I realized this was a dream come true for them. They lifted their hands to worship, and the Spirit of God moved across the large classroom in a powerful manner. His presence was so strong.
*[If you started reading this from your email, begin reading here.]
When I stood in front of that room full of young people from all over the Soviet Union to teach them for the first time, I approached the lectern to begin my first teaching session, opened my Bible, took a step back, and looked up at the room full of students eagerly looking back at me. And at that moment, I vividly heard the Holy Spirit speak loudly to my heart and say, "WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME!"
I know the voice of the Holy Spirit, and there was no doubt in my heart or mind that it was the Spirit who had spoken these words to me. Feeling shocked by what I'd just heard, I choked up and stumbled with my words a bit. Then the Holy Spirit spoke it a second time: "WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME!"
With that, I knew God was calling me to relocate my family to the Soviet Union. As I looked at those 220 students and the dilapidated surroundings all around me, I kept thinking, God is calling me to make THIS my home and to embrace these students and the USSR for me and my family's future.
Later that day in prayer, the Lord continued speaking to my spirit. He explained, "There are many good Bible teachers in the United States, but I need skilled Bible teachers HERE to undergird the massive move of My Spirit that is happening. That is why I am calling you to move here and to do it as quickly as possible."
This was completely contrary to the plans I had made for my life and ministry. Back in those days, we were receiving 900 invitations a year to come and hold seminars in churches and speak in conferences. The growth of our ministry was literally exploding in the United States — and my books were becoming bestsellers. I had never dreamed of moving away from America and leaving that life behind. But that was exactly what God was calling us to do. That week as I ministered every day to the students, the love of God in me connected me to them, and I could begin to visually see our family living in the USSR.
When I came back to Tulsa after that missions trip, I knew I needed to break the news to Denise. I didn't know how she would respond, but the Lord had prepared her heart before I ever said a word, and the same grace that was upon me was upon Denise. She said, "I'm not excited yet, but when we step onto that plane to move, I'll be filled with faith and anticipation." Our sons were too young to understand what the Soviet Union was, so they just exploded with glee that we were going to be doing something adventurous as we followed the will of God.
Finally, the morning came when Denise and I and our three small sons gathered at the airport with family and friends. We hugged and kissed everyone and told them all farewell; then we stepped onto the plane that would carry us to our new home in the former Soviet Union. As we sat down in those seats on the plane, Denise and I looked at each other with jubilation, because we knew we had passed a major test. We had said yes to the Lord, surrendering to His revealed will for us, and we were on our way to the greatest adventure of our lives.
Saying yes to the Lord requires surrender. I'm talking about that moment when you are willing to lay down all your own plans and yield to what the Holy Spirit has revealed to you about God's will for your life. Some people pass this test, whereas others do not. However, those who surrender, yield, and obey experience the joy, power, and victory of the Spirit. They live an enriched life filled both with opportunities to be seized and obstacles to be overcome in order to attain victory and to complete the assignment.
I want to tell you how I felt that day when the Holy Spirit said, "WELCOME TO YOUR NEW HOME!" It immediately reminded me of Acts 13:2, which says, "As they [the elders in Antioch] ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."
Barnabas and Saul had been serving in the church of Antioch for several years when suddenly during a time of prayer and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." The word "separate" is the Greek word asphortidzo, and it means to mark off, to set boundaries around, or to set apart for a special purpose. The verse continues to say that they were to be set apart "…for the work whereunto I have called them." Apparently, God had a "work" for these two men that exceeded what they had done in Antioch.
Serving in Antioch was an honor, but it was not the ultimate goal of God's call on their lives. Way beyond Antioch, Barnabas and Saul [Paul] would be used by God to touch and revolutionize the Gentile world. Had they stayed in Antioch, they would have missed the adventuresome apostolic life that God had designed for them. Accepting and obeying God's call thrust them forward into a life and ministry of divine purpose that radically affected the development and growth of the Church of Jesus Christ all over the Roman Empire.
Everything Paul and Barnabas had done in ministry until that time had been nothing more than preparation for what lay ahead. Although they had spent several serious years in ministry, it was simply "getting-ready time" for the ultimate call that was before them.
This is precisely how I felt when the Holy Spirit spoke to me about my new home. God has blessed our ministry immensely, but I was suddenly aware that everything that had occurred until that moment was preparation for what was about to follow. And what was about to transpire was so immense that it made everything up to that moment look minuscule. Those previous days were days of proving to learn how to be faithful. God was watching — and now that He was satisfied, He was ready to launch us into the calling He had for our lives, which was far larger than anything that Denise or I had imagined or anticipated.
Barnabas and Saul were immediately sent forth to begin their apostolic ministries, but it took me several months to really embrace what God had said. However, I did come around, and our family entered the greatest phase of our lives as a result. We have never had any regrets about leaving America behind and moving to the former USSR.
Today I want to encourage you to let the Lord reveal to you His plan for your life. It may be different from what you had previously thought. It is possible that everything you have done up until now has merely been preparation for a greater call before you. So open your heart and be careful to pay heed if the Holy Spirit affirms that He's leading you to take a new direction. It could add more fruitfulness and adventure to your life than you ever dreamed possible!
Father, I thank You for Your predetermined plan for my life — and that You want to launch me into it as soon as I'm ready. I ask You to help me prove myself faithful where I am, so I will be prepared for the call that lies ahead of me. Help me not to be stuck in my thinking — assuming that where I am is the ultimate end of what I am called to do. I ask You to open my eyes to see that great and wonderful things lie ahead of me if I will fully surrender to You!
I pray this in Jesus' name!
I confess that God knows the good plans He has for me. He is ordering my steps along His ordained path, and I am following the Holy Spirit's direction to do all He is leading me to do in preparation for God's next phase of my life. I recognize now that all I have done thus far has been preparation for the next part of His call on my life. Jesus, You said if a man is faithful in little, You will put him over much. So I declare that I will be faithful in every assignment You've given to me now, and I believe that You will promote me to the next phase when You have found me proven and ready.
I declare this by faith in Jesus' name!
- What are you doing right now to give yourself fully to the tasks at hand, so God will know that you are proven and ready for the job ahead of you?
- Has God ever told you something that caught you off-guard and by surprise? If so, when was that, and what did He say? Have you followed through on what He spoke to your heart?
- Are you doing what God has told you to do right now? Are you being faithful with the call that He's given you? If God were asked this question, how would He answer about you?

Instead of focusing on the chest or shoulders, Sherer says, we need to turn our attention to a body part that is lower down, below the waist: the pelvis.
Or to put another way — your butt.
"The most important thing to change to reduce back pain is your pelvis position," she says. "It's like a stack of toy blocks. If the blocks at the bottom aren't sturdy, then the top has no chance."

A Close-Up Look At Contract Workers
January 22, 2018 • An NPR/Marist poll sheds light on a fast-growing workforce sector: contract workers. One out of every five jobs is held by a contract worker. While many enjoy the flexibility, the jobs are unsteady.
School refusal
"It's a struggle that many parents are familiar with — your child doesn't want to go to school. But for some kids, this happens every day, leading to weeks and sometimes months of missing school. Mental health professionals say these students' chronic absenteeism is part of a condition called "school refusal" that may be triggered by anxiety, depression, family crises and other traumatic life events."
Interesting talk on Here and Now.
Can Buddhist Practices Help Us Overcome The Biological Pull Of Dissatisfaction?
Are human beings hard-wired to be perpetually dissatisfied? Author Robert Wright, who teaches about the interface of evolutionary biology and religion, thinks so.
Wright points out that evolution rewards people for seeking out pleasure rather than pain, which helps ensure that human beings are frequently unsatisfied: "We are condemned to always want things to be a little different, always want a little more," he says. "We're not designed by natural selection to be happy."
But all is not lost. In his new book, Why Buddhism is True, Wright makes the case that some Buddhist practices can help humans overcome the biological pull towards dissatisfaction. …

On Saturday 12th March I attended the Monthly meeting of the 'Birmingham and District Guild of Weaving Spinning and Dyeing'. This month it was a design workshop lead by Stacey Harvey-Brown.
The Loomroom
Guild members were not expecting to take a completed project home, we were exploring the process and collation of ideas and the stages involved in working ideas into textiles. I am a complete novice to these concepts. We had access to a wide variety of materials and books to explore. My Mom settled to exploring a 'Sunset' and she was busy painting and finding yarns to match the colours and textures of the photograph, she claimed not to know what she was doing, but it kept her quiet and it looked great to me. I have made a note to myself I need to invest in a large scrapbook and a pallet of water colour paints for exploring colour. As is usual with my 'Learning style' I did not settle to my task well, I started out looking at a photograph of a 'Summer meadow', then changed my mind a worked on a Pheasant tail feather that I have had for about a year. I spent a long time closely examining the colours, patterns, line and texture on my feather, I tried to sketch it and recreate it in 'alternative' colours. I get easily distracted nosing at what everyone else is up to. I do learn a lot that way and I am in total awe of what individuals can and do achieve. I learnt about 'Weave it' style square looms and had a demo and a play.
|Examples of completed 'Weave it' squares

Remo Skyndeep Tucked Conga heads
Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Remo's launch of tucked synthetic conga heads in 2001 with the Nuskyn range revolutionised conga heads in much the same way as they had done with the introduction of plastic drum heads in the mid-1950s.
At once conga players were relieved of the rawhide head's pitch and tuning problems associated with temperature, humidity and moisture, as well as uneven skin thickness.
In 2004 Remo introduced the slightly brighter tones of the Fibreskyn tucked head and has now developed the Skyndeep tucked head.This latest introduction features a graphic infusion of pigment into the polyester surface giving a range of finishes including calf skin, Puerto Rican flags, black calf skin and tiger stripes. The heads are tucked around a steel insert hoop, just like traditional rawhide heads, and are highly durable and able to handle extreme tensioning. The Skyndeep calf skin graphic head reviewed here looks exactly like natural calf and combines the warmth of the Nuskyn with the brightness and projection of the Fibreskyn. The heads tension and tune with absolute ease right out of the box: open tones sound clear and resonant, the tumba bass head has a deep low end with no unwanted overtone while the slaps are capable of a defined pop that cracks like a pistol. For live work these are a must, even for the most ardent of natural skin-on-skin traditionalists, and are kinder on the hands than rawhide heads. Once used you'll never go back.

text: MOVIES Two on Twain: Book Review 6:00 AM PDT 9/20/2011 by Andy Lewis FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Courtesy of Farrar, Straus & Girouk/Courtesy of Fantagraphics Books Recalling the American master via a memoir by Hal Holbrook and an absurdist comedy. Mark Twain is not only the most important author in American letters. During the past century, Twain himself -- the white suit, the cigar, the folksy advice -- has become an iconic character. Now, two new books -- one a memoir, the other a piece of comedy -- pick up the icon as the jumping-off point for their own stories. Nobody has done more to shape our image of Twain than the actor Hal Holbrook (All the President's Men, Wall Street), who has been playing him in a one-man show longer than Samuel Clemens did -- 57 versus 47 years. Harold: The Boy Who Became Mark Twain (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, $30) covers just the first 35 years of Holbrook's life, from his truly Dickensian childhood -- abandoned by his parents, one for the stage and the other for an insane asylum, at age 2 -- to barnstorming across the country as a young actor. The really fascinating part covers the 15 years from college graduation to stardom playing Twain on Broadway and could be subtitled "the education of an actor and a man." Holbrook not only writes insightfully about learning the craft of acting and the work that went into creating Twain but also frankly about his ambitions and the toll they took on his family. "I see now I was a crippled figure. … My children. What a mess. I dropped the ball there … let them drift off to sea as I was fighting it out with Harold to find out who the hell he was." That kind of vigorous self-reflection should earn Harold a place on the bookshelf of any aspiring actor. In Mark Twain's Autobiography 1910-2010, (Fantagraphics, $19.99), Adult Swim contributor and comics creator Michael Kupperman (Snake 'n' Bacon) reworks Holbrook's Twain as a Zelig-like immortal cruising through a century of life after his 1910 death. The story is told in three dozen short chapters, a few of which are illustrated comic book-style. Some of the tales are hilarious koans of absurdist comedy -- Twain as the unknown fourth astronaut on the Apollo 11 mission is fabulous. Although it sometimes has the feel of a Saturday Night Live skit stretched into a feature film -- perfect in small doses but unsustainable over a longer haul -- the premise is too good to abandon.
