Lughnasa Waning Summer Moon
Quite a combination greeted me in the southeastern sky this morning as I made my way to the loft. The Waning Summer Moon's waning quarter stood just above a faint, but still clear Orion. My first sighting of him since April. I don't look for him once I stop seeing him since I imagine he's in the daytime sky, but apparently he's visible at some time in all months except May through July, just not when I'm awake and outside.
The two of them together, the Waning Summer Moon and the constellation that is my winter companion appearing the day after Labor Day sends a strong autumnal signal in my world. Flecks of gold will start to appear in the aspen groves on Black Mountain.
The meadow at the base of Shadow Mountain Drive had hay bales in it a couple of days ago, all gone now. The sight brought back memories of alfalfa and timothy fields in Minnesota and Indiana, the smell of haylofts, hay rides. Apple picking.
In Andover this was the month of garlic planting, of soil amending in the perennial flower beds and the planting of bulbs, corms, rhizomes. Tulips, daffodils, iris, hyacinth, crocus, anemone. I would turn on Folk Alley radio, get out the kneeler and the Japanese garden knife. Sometimes the Andover High School marching band would be rehearsing a couple of miles away but still audible. Blue skies, the sun's angle noticeably lower. The golden raspberries were ripe, too, and the dogs, especially Vega, would pick them off the canes that poked through the fence around our vegetable garden.
Later in the month will come Mabon, the second of the harvest festivals and the fall equinox. After that is Michaelmas, September 29th, the feast day of the Archangel Michael which Rudolf Steiner refers to as the springtime of the soul. I can feel the change, the buildup that begins with the victory of light on the Summer Solstice, the gradual lengthening of the night which will culminate in the Winter Solstice, my high holyday.
Time to get back to work.

Quick facts
- Zinc is a critical nutrient that many people are deficient in.
- We can lose zinc so easily, up to 85% is lost just in the digestive tract, we also lose it when we're stressed. Vegetarian/vegan diets are low in zinc.
- Zinc is needed for at least 300 different enzyme reactions in the body.
- Zinc is an important antiviral nutrient. Low zinc levels allow viruses to enter our tissues and glands.
- Bacterial, viral & fungal issues, parasites, Pyroluria, heavy metals all cause increased needs for zinc.
- Zinc is needed for the feel-good brain chemicals serotonin, as well as melatonin.
- Zinc (and magnesium) are necessary to retain potassium inside our cells.
- When the body is overloaded with sugar or alcohol, it can cause a loss of zinc (and rise in copper).
- Adrenal glands– If zinc is too low, adrenal hormone production reduces, over time we can get into a burnout stage where the body can't function well.
- Zinc deficiency alone is a big cause of many digestive problems. It's involved in activating stomach acid.
Deficiency symptoms:
- delays in growth and development
- anxiety/mood issues
- sleep disturbances
- skin rashes
- digestive issues
- chronic diarrhea
- poor immune health
- impaired wound healing
- poor appetite
- impaired taste sensation
- night blindness
- hormonal issues
Where is zinc found?
Beef, lamb, turkey, oysters, pumpkin seeds, cashews & oats are good sources.
Should we supplement?
If we are deficient, yes this is an option. Zinc can cause copper detox and the many symptoms that go with that. Zinc can also reduce sodium levels.
However, as zinc is SO key, I certainly don't shy away from supplementing. Rebuilding zinc needs to be done slowly & carefully with other mineral imbalances taken into consideration.

The Weight Watchers PointsPlus program combines eating healthy and exercising, and is based on the way your body individually processes food. Unlike other dietary programs, this one allows you to eat whatever foods you want, as long as you don't go over your allowed daily points. For this program, you will need to purchase the Weight Watchers Calculator. The calculator allows you to input your personal information, such as your height and weight, and calculate and track your total intake of points. To activate your calculator, pull out the clear plastic tab by the battery slot.
Step 1
Enter your personal information into the calculator by pressing the icon that is in the shape of a wrench. This key will be used quite often, as it is also pressed anytime you want to set up your weekly allowance of points. You will be asked to put in information such as age, gender, current height and weight and if you want to lose weight or maintain your current weight. After this information is entered, you will be provided with a daily point allowance.
Step 2
Calculate the PointsPlus values by entering the foods you like to eat into the calculator, but you must have the nutrition information handy for all of the foods. Almost every food item comes with a nutrition label, so these should be fairly easy to find. To begin entering food information, press the PointsPlus key, then select "Enter." There are four sections you need to fill out, including protein, carbs, total fat and fiber. Enter the amounts into each slot, as they are shown on the nutrition label and, upon completion, you will be given a point value for one serving of each specific food entered.
Step 3
Begin tracking your daily point values. Each time you calculate a value for a food, the word "Use" will appear on your screen. Press enter to subtract this food from your total daily allowance. If you have consumed more than one serving, the calculator allows you to multiply it by the number of servings you had, and it will automatically subtract the extra points from your daily allowance. The same is true if you did not have a whole serving. Use the divide button to let the calculator know how much below the serving you consumed.
Step 4
View your daily targets multiple times per day to ensure that you are staying on track. To do so, press the icon that is shaped like a pencil. The total points that you have left for the day will appear on the screen. To view your total weekly allowance, press the down arrow.
Things You'll Need
Weight Watchers Calculator
Nutritional values of the food you eat
Every seven days, your calculator will automatically ask you to update your weight. It is important that you follow through with this to ensure your goals are being met.

In the loving memory of Azelle Rodney, a son, brother, nephew, boyfriend, friend and mentor to all those that came across Azelle at one time or another in his life. Azelle has left behind his two brothers, and his beautiful daughter and a loving ocean of family and friends who care deeply for him (May his soul now rest in peace).
He was killed in Edgware by the Metropolitan Police in April 2005 and his baby girl was born one day before his funeral. It has been such a traumatic time for all those involved and Azelle`s family are challenging the justice system and taking their fight to parliament.
Follow our updates!
Azelle was a very athletic and sporty type of person, he had a huge youthful smile and was very caring towards younger and older people. He was born in Central West Middlesex Hospital in NW10. He was an aspiring footballer and was well-known across West London for his athletic abilities and won many awards/certificates.
He was also interested in music. In his teens he had a hip operation which left him unable to pursue his career in football and he spent most of his time in the gym or helping other people. It has been 3 years now and the effect of Azelle's loss is buried deep within those that know Azelle. His resting place is in West London near to his family. He will always be remembered in our hearts.

shameless needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Pentecostal Campus Ministries
University Campus office for a chaplain of the Pentecostal Ministries of Alberta. Chaplain connects with students of similar faith and mission and provides community, resources, and mission opportunities.
This is a religious organization but the logo should not be overtly religious. NOT obvious (crosses, steeples etc).
The concept of a "wireless" community is primary, unlike a stationery church community, this is a University campus and the connections mimic wireless concpets. So using more common visuals from the modern wireless age is positive.
While the organization works with young people, the logo will appear frequently to a more mature generation, those who provide support in churches and businesses. So it needs to be refined not overly youthish or 2.0.
The Wordmark is primary, the icon is secondary.
Preference given to those who can present the logo in versions (reverse, b/w, etc).

Paul Bilal Williams wrote:
Ken, I'm just curious to know how you deal with this passage? (no longer there, as Paul Williams has deleted his blogs several times) (it was in our discussion in the com box of "The Theology of Snoopy")
I argue that salvation was available BEFORE Jesus ever saw a cross: . . .
And then you quote Luke 19:1-10 – the story of Zaccheus – (My emphasis added)
"He entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax-collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, 'Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.' So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, 'He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.' Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, 'Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.' Then Jesus said to him, 'Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.'
Paul Williams wrote:
"Today salvation has come to this house" – Not tomorrow; not next week; not when Jesus allegedly dies for his sins – but TODAY.
As you have done with every Scriptural passage that you are abusing (Matthew 18:22-35, Matthew 19/Mark 10; Luke 18:9-14, Matthew 6:9-13); you ignore the context of the passage. Just two paragraphs earlier, in chapter 18, Jesus gives us the context of His travel to Jerusalem – and His purpose there. The events of the gospels are leading up to the cross and resurrection.
Luke 18:31-34
31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, "See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished. 32 For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit upon. 33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise." 34 But they understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.
Another part of the context is the verse right after the story of Zaccheus, in Luke 19:11 – Luke's gospel was written assuming the person has read chapters 1-18 and to the end, to get the over-all context and meaning of the passage. In chapter 24, Luke reports on how Jesus opened the disciple's minds to understand the Scriptures. (24:32; 44-45)
One of the great themes of the gospel of Luke is that Jesus came to save sinners and the outcasts of society (Gentiles, poor, women, tax-collectors, prostitutes, etc.); also the gospel of Luke takes special care to mention that Jesus is journeying to Jerusalem, the city where redemption will be accomplished. (see Luke 9:31; 9:51; 12:50; 13:32-35; 17:11; 18:31; 19:11; 19:28; 19:41-45; 21:20-24; 24:46-48 – repentance for forgiveness of sins is based on His suffering, death, and resurrection; and that message must be proclaimed, beginning from Jerusalem, to all the nations.)
So the story of Zaccheus is mentioned in the midst of Jesus' purpose as Savior (Luke 2:11; 19:11) and His journey on the way to Jerusalem to be crucified and resurrected. Luke is not obligated to mention faith in the work of Christ on the cross before it happens, because all true believers before the cross, in some basic sense, had the faith of Abraham, which was in the Lord (Yahweh) and His promise to send one from his own body to the redemption of people from all the nations, and the one who would crush the serpents head. (Genesis 3:15, 12:1-3; Genesis 15:1-6; John 8:31-58 – a true son of Abraham before the cross is trusting in the Lord, repenting of their sins, that they are a sinner by nature, and trusting Christ/Messiah, even though they cannot articulate the details of his redemption.
Verse 9 is clear – Zaccheus was saved because he was a true son of Abraham, having the faith in the Lord as Abraham did (Geneis 15:1-6; 12:1-3; John 8:56-58), not as many ethnic Jews did, trusting in their ethnicity – Luke 3:8.
"Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father,' for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham." (Luke 3:8)
Zaccheus was not saved by his good works (Ephesians 2:8-9; Galatians 2:16), rather his good works of returning whatever he cheated people out of and giving back even 4 times more, were the results of him being changed by Christ. "If any man is in Christ, he is a new creature, the old has passed away, behold, new things have come." ( 2 Cor. 5:17) True repentance results in a changed life. (Luke 3:8; Acts 20:26; 2 Corinthians 7:7-10)
Galatians 3:7 – "Therefore, to be sure, it is those who are of faith who are the sons of Abraham."
Galatians 3:29 – "And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise."
Romans 4:16 – "For this reason it is by faith, in order that it may be in accordance with grace, so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all"
See also Romans 2:28; and Romans 4:11
Jesus said "Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and saw it, and was glad" and "before Abraham was born, "I am" (John 8:56-58 – I am the existing one, Yahweh, alluding to Exodus 3:14 and Isaiah 43:10-13; 44:6)
In Genesis 15:1-6, the Lord tells Abraham that one will come from his own body who will be the seed that will be the Messiah – and "Abram believed in the Lord and He credited to him as righteousness." Genesis 15:6. This is quoted in Galatians 3 and Romans 4 and James 2. The faith of all true believers before the cross was in Yahweh as Lord as the one God, and in His Messiah that He would send.
So, since Zaccheus was "constantly seeking Jesus and desired to see Him" (verse 3)– this shows his repentance and faith was a focus on who Jesus is and what He would do. His salvation is not based on good works, but the fact that God had changed him into a true son of Abraham, (not a Pharisee or unbelieving Jew – Luke 3:8); but a spiritual son of Abraham who had real faith and real repentance, which becomes clear after the cross and the rest of the NT evidence.
So, the reason salvation came to his house, today, is why?
"because he too, is a son of Abraham". He proved that his nature had been changed with the faith of Abraham – in the Lord and His Messiah (Genesis 15:1-6; John 8:56-58; Galatians 3:7; Romans 4:11, 16; Luke 3:8 – he has true repentance and didn't trust in his Jewishness, rather he repented of his whole lifestyle of sin and cheating and trusted in Jesus the Messiah with all his heart). The "today" emphasis is the same as the thief on the cross – Luke 23:43 – simple repentance and trust in the Messiah Jesus, even though they didn't know all the details about the cross theology.
Now, you have been refuted on every passage you try to bring, and so you need to realize what Snoopy said, "Has it ever occurred to you that you might be wrong?"
And I am sure that Pastor Steve Latham would agree with me.

The coloured pieces are made from HDF filled and then painted with 2 pack spray,sitting on a granite base. The large light box is birch ply,bronzed glass, bleached white pebbles and LEDs. The small one has an oak frame and smoked glass,bleached white pebbles and is painted purple inside which gives the LEDs their colour. The canvas photography is done with longish exposures with light painting.

Removal of Large Tree Sucker
I have an eight-year-old, semi-dwarf Apricot tree that developed a sucker from ground level. It is now as large as the original trunk, about 4 inches in diameter. I noticed that last year it bore almost no fruit and upon inspection realized the situation with the sucker. Is it worth it to remove this very large 'Siamese tree', or should I remove the whole tree and start over?
Certified GKH Gardening Expert
I would try to remove the sucker. The tree should be able to handle it and you will see an improvement in production from the main trunk once the sucker is removed.

For Magazine Printing
Your final PDFs that are uploaded to LSC Pontiac InSite need to be in single page format. That is each page needs to be saved as a separate PDF file and named for it's page folio. This is necessary in order to ensure that the pages are imposed in the proper order. It is possible to repeat the steps in the methods above to produce single page PDFs one at a time however that can be time consuming and tedious especially for magazines with a large number of pages. Alternatively there is a way to use the methods above to create a multipage PDF from which you can separate into correctly named single page PDFs. To do this you can use two tools you probably already have at your disposal. You can use Adobe Acrobat to open the multipage PDF and extract pages from it into single page PDF files. After the pages are separated you can use Adobe Bridge to batch rename the pages in a single step. Here is you you can do it.
It is strongly recommended that you upload single page PDFs to InSite. Uploading single page PDFs, each properly named for it's folio will ensure that pages are properly imposed in the correct sequence. If you create a multipage PDF from your original document, here is how you can split it into single page PDFs using Adobe Acrobat.
Since version 6 Adobe Acrobat Professional has had the ability extract single page PDFs from a multipage PDF.
This is how it can be done:
Using Adobe Bridge's batch renaming utility you can rename multiple single pages PDF to ensure that they our file naming best practices. This is especially useful if you are extracting single page PDFs from a multi-page document.
To batch rename multiple files perform the following steps:
New File names – is where the file naming can be standardized. By clicking the + or – rows can be added to the naming convention
Options – Nothing needs to be set
Preview – Here your current file name and the new file name example is listed. Note file names should be less than 25 characters and should not contain and special characters ( ˜ ´ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + = { } [ ] | \ ; : " ' < > , ? / ).

About 20 seconds into Maroon 5 and SZA's new video for "What Lovers Do," flashbacks of past Taylor Swift videos begin appearing. This is not a coincidence. Joseph Kahn is the man behind every big-budget Taylor Swift video for the past four years and has now teamed up with Adam Levine and co. It would appear the famed director's penchant for big-budget videos and blockbuster special effects isn't limited to Swift.
Opening with a summery steel drum intro, the video kicks off with younger versions of Levine and SZA running through what looks like the Australian outback. Giant trees spring up from the ground and Levine's vocals are taken over by local flora and fauna, including a deer and a sunflower, which looks as weird as you would think it would. As the pair begin to climb a skyscraper of a tree in a special effects overload, Levine's younger self encounters a bee's nest, giving viewers an unwelcomed My Girl flashback as the frontman falls to the ground and slams himself into present day.
The rest of the video continues in a nonsensical series of events that are tied together by out of this world scenarios and stunning visual imagery. All five members of Maroon 5 chase SZA around a track and field loop, with a line of tanks in the center. Levine and SZA ride jet skis that turn into surfboards before traveling underwater, where SZA turns into a mermaid. What's happening? How are these series of shots connected? Is this what lovers do?
The pair eventually find themselves at a poker table in Las Vegas, where SZA's winning hand causes Levine to become so outraged that he turns into a 30-foot man and begins stomping on Sin City, finally grabbing SZA in the palm of his hand, King Kong-style.
The closing shot finds a badly bruised and injured Levine laying in a hospital bed, where his hot nurse SZA checks in on him. We're assuming the scene represents the closest thing will get to an explanation on the video, which is that Levine had a painkiller-induced dream. Much like the bands "Cold" video, which was released earlier this year and set in an outrageous house party that was explained at the end by Levine chalking up the night to an acid trip, the odd and confusing series of events is simply explained as a dream. It's definitely a letdown to not have more of a payoff to close what is otherwise a visually impressive and compelling music video, but it sure was fun to watch.
So, instead of trying to figure out if there's a bigger meaning to "What Lovers Do," just enjoy a really entertaining video with a super catchy song.

Interview Transcript
Tristan Bancks is a children's and teen author with a background in acting and
film-making. His books include the My Life series, Mac Slater, Cool Hunter, which was published in Australia and the US, and Two Wolves, a crime mystery novel for middle graders. Two Wolves was short-listed for the 2015 Children's Book Counsel of Australia Book of the Year Award, and has just won the YABBA Award for years 7-9, decided by the Young Readers of Victoria.
So, welcome to the program, Tristan.
All right, thanks.
All right. So, let's… let's go back to the beginning, all of those years ago. How did you come to write for children and teens in the first place? Like, what drew you to it?
I had presented kid's TV in England for about four years, from when I was about 20, and just sort of fell into that. I think I actually pitched a program to ytv and we got a few episodes of this show up and I hosted it, and then that opened up the opportunity to present other kid's TV shows. So, I did a kind of show that was a bit like the curiosity show called It's a Mystery, which was fun.
Oh, that's fun.
And I did sort of adrenaline sport shows and movie shows and lots of things that I was interested in I would pitch and then I would end up sort of writing, researching, presenting — yeah. And then so I think I've always sort of enjoyed theme parks and I've always enjoyed the kind of things that kids like, I suppose. I don't think I ever grew out of those things.
And I also… I've always wanted to do what I want to do. I never wanted to kind of conform and just do the thing I was supposed to do. And I think that's a kind of childlike attribute in a way.
All right.
When my kids were born I had been making short films and I had been working in TV and I had been working as a freelance journalist. And I thought, "Well, it would be good to combine my storytelling interests with the fact that I have children now." And I had a chance to write some educational fiction books for Scholastic, I think it was.
Right, and you worked into it that way?
Yeah. So, they were my first children's books.
All right, so I mean you've sort of been immersed in all aspects of… you know, you were talking about writing, presenting. You've sort of immersed yourself in that children's world, quite wholly and solely for a while, haven't you?
Yeah, and I think for a while there I was looking for a unifying element, you know? I'd presented TV and I had acted, and I had made short films and I seem to be writing kid's books, and I had written, you know, that film-making for magazines. And I was thinking, "Am I just wandering from one thing to the other and not really knowing what I want to do?" But, I mean storytelling was always the thing. I always wanted to tell stories, whether it was sort of non-fiction or fiction, particularly fiction. But, storytelling has always been the heart of all of those things I've done.
OK, so your earlier works, and particularly I guess the My Life series, the kind of funny contemporary stories with a bit of that gross out humor that kids love so much, but Two Wolves is actually quite a departure from that. Why did you decide to write that story?
I think… I think I just wanted to challenge myself to write it. I didn't sort of talk to anyone about that book for quite a while. I spent, like, several years having that as sort of my story in the background that I worked on for maybe an hour a day. I used to wake up at about six o'clock in the morning and work until 7:00, before anyone was up. And it was just my side project. I couldn't afford to make it my front project, because I had other things that had deadlines, other books that had deadlines.
But, it was just something that I was just interested. And I thought, "Do I have the writing chops to be able to do this?" And I didn't know if I did, so I thought it was best not to talk to anyone about it, or to try and sort of get my publisher involved too early, because I didn't want them to say, "Yes, we'd love it. Deliver it in nine months." And then I'd think, "Argh… I don't actually know how to write it."
Looking back that was actually the healthiest thing I ever did. I think having a deadline is good because you have to finish at some point, but it also means that you have to abandon the story at some point. And, that's not great, as a writer you want it to be as good as it can possibly be.
So, where did the idea for it come from in the first place?
I had read about kids who had been taken on the run by their parents who were criminals, quite a few stories about it, and it just intrigued me. I just thought, "What is it?" For some reason I sort of felt like it was my story. I didn't think that I had been taken on the run as a kid, but there was something about the sort of self-reliance of it, you know? I was an 80s kid, and… and, you know, latch-key kid as… as a lot of us were. And, you sort of had a lot of freedom that I don't see in my kid's generation, you know? We as parents are always hanging around and annoying them, and making their lives miserable by making them — by being there all the time.
But, as a kid in that era I had all of this space and time to think and be, and there was something about the kind of not knowingness of that situation. The fact that you had to come to your own decisions and make your own choices and be a bit self-reliant that I sort of related to in these kids who had been taken on the run.
All right, so what was the most difficult thing about writing the story for you? Like, you said that you weren't quite sure if you had the writing chops for it. Was it the exploration of that, that was the most difficult thing? Or something else?
I think I had always aspired towards writing books that were kind of at the intersection of genre and meaning in that I wanted to write books that were fast-paced and engaging, that made you turn pages. But, I also wanted to try to write books that were about something, you know? That were… that wrestled with… with ideas, I guess, that are relevant to kids of the sort of age of my readership.
I tried to do that with my book, Galactic Adventures: First Kids in Space. You know, their age dealing with their own issues. But, I guess I was still too scared to slow down the narrative. With Mac Slater Cool Hunter and the sequel to that, and the My Life books, and Galactic Adventures, I was still scared to be boring, you know? I thought, "I've got to go accelerate all the way through this. I've got to make this page turning, the twists have to be so big that it just drives you onto the next thing." But, the problem with that is that it's difficult then and you don't trust yourself to take the time to really maybe develop the characters and the sort of internal conflict of the character.
And on Two Wolves I thought, "Well, there's not a publisher waiting for, it doesn't have to be the most exciting thing in the world, I'm just going to take my time a bit with it," and actually out of that I sort of maybe found a richer narrative.
Did it surprise you when it ended up on so many awards list, like given that it was something that you weren't sure about? But, then were sure about.
Yeah, I mean… as an actor and in making short films and things that I had done for TV, I had always been in the situation where I was writing, where I would do one thing that was… that was obviously commercial, and then one thing that wasn't that commercial, and it was always the thing that was more commercial that you, you know, that was easier to kind of turn out that… that, um, that got attention. Whereas the thing that you had bled for, often would… would come second place kind of thing, and people would ignore it or go, "Oh, yeah… yeah, no that's good, but look at this other thing."
So, I was pretty convinced that actually that would happen. I was writing the My Life books at the same time and Two Wolves in the background. And I thought, "Well, the My Life books are much more obviously commercial, and Two Wolves may… I thought I had picked that spot right between it not being meaningful enough for people who are looking for that, to be interested in, and also not being perhaps fast-paced enough for people who are only looking for an action adventure story.
But, yeah, the fact that it sort of was noticed in the YABBA and the CDCA Awards makes me think that I went some way towards that goal.
It's an interesting thing too, because I think that there's very much, I think in children's publishing at the moment the series is very big, and kids love series, because they love to know that there's another one, if they like it, et cetera.
So when you're writing a stand-alone novel do you have that in the back of your mind as well, like, "Well, this has got to work really, really well, or not at all," so to speak?
I think I was playing around with it being a series at one point, and thinking of it being three books. But, I think the further I went into it… usually I might write five drafts of a book before I show it to another human, you know, show it to a publisher or something. And on this one I sort of got to five drafts and I could have shown it, but I thought, "Oh, I sort of really want to know it more myself before I invite anyone else in." And so I went to seven drafts before I showed it to someone else. And I think out of that, I think in that period of time, writing those two extra drafts, I think that's when it became a stand-alone novel.
I really… I didn't… I sort of got more faith, I guess, in that thing of finding the meaning in the story and letting it stand alone and not sort of… not being too worried if it didn't sort of drive someone onto the next book. I wanted it to be recognized as a story in and of itself.
Did it change much from that seventh draft? Like from that to its published form?
Not in terms of ripping out chapters and things. I had already sort of pulled out… I have a holding bay file and I think I had something like 40,000 words in the holding bay, and it's a 50,000-word novel. And then there must of have been hundreds of thousands of words that were written in notepads that never made it in too.
I think I had already pulled out so much that it was reasonably tight. What really helped, Kimberly Bennett, my editor at Random House, she really drove me just to tighten and hone in all of those little leaps in logic. There's a lot in the story, as you know when you write a novel it's not just the over-arching idea of the story, on every page and on every line there's some little idea driving it forward. And so there were thousands of those things. And she really helped me to tighten the language and also I think straightening out the age of it too, the age of the character and making that more consistent across the book.
And I think just all of those… all of those little leaps in logic that you, after you've read it 150 times yourself you don't see those things anymore.
Yeah, so true.
So will you do more stand-alone novels do you think, or are you heading back into your series next? Or what happens?
We seem to have a sort of thing where a My Life book comes out every year. And they're fun, they're short stories, it's 25,000 words. I can write short story in cracks in time. I can jump on a plane and I can work through a draft of a short story while I'm on the plane, or I can do it if I'm visiting a school, I can work over a short story in the gaps in time during that day. I just love writing short stories, because they — I don't know. They're not that sort of over-arching, they're not that huge arc. And I know the characters now as well. So, it feels like a really comfortable place.
So there's a new My Life book out in March 2016, and it's called My Life and Other Exploding Chickens.
That sounds like fun.
Yeah, it's really been… and I keep saying to myself, "OK, don't write another My Life book unless you really feel like you are getting something out of it, make yourself a new challenge, dig deeper." And I'm really sort of trying to understand comedy and comedy writing in greater detail, to really understand the anatomy of a joke, and how to make that work. And, that drives me to want to write the next book as well.
Yeah, I feel like I learn a lot about plot and a lot about brevity. In a short story you have to be so succinct and every word has to earn its place. And I feel like that kind of succinctness can work well in a novel too.
Do you actually plot out your stories? Like, whether they be novels or short stories, do you plot them before you write them, or do you just sort of start writing something from an idea and see what happens?
I've came from screenwriting sort of background, that's how I kind of learnt to write fiction, I suppose, in writing screenplays. And, so that's very much an outline-heavy, you know, you're always taught to outline and to step outline and to get it really tight before you dive in, I guess because the screenplay itself is not a very pretty medium, you know? It's a kind of blueprint for something else.
The first few books that I did, just to know that I could get through them I plotted them heavily, you know? I had the cards up on the wall, and I would rework the cards, and I would throw out this one and I would wait until I really knew, as well as doing free writes on the side and I would really get that outline tight and then I would plunge into the first draft.
And I think it was also a way of not ending up with a really messy first draft. I really didn't like that thing that, you know, if you just free wrote you read back the first draft and it was like, "Oh, this thing is such bad shape, I'm going to have to do so much work on it." Whereas if you had an outline, you know, your first draft wasn't that terrible. You could feel the story, you know?
… what I discovered on Two Wolves was actually for me it makes for a much better story if you're prepared to go down deep into that the dark woods of that messy first draft and just let it be what it is, and then plunge into a really messy second draft and you're kind of feeling out the geography of the story and the characters and you're going to all of these dead ends and scenes and chapters that will be cut, but out of that I think you really get a sense of what's underground in the story and where the characters have been and what might have happened and all of those things.
So, I really sort of try to do that now. I try not to be too plotty from the beginning. And then maybe on a third draft or something like that I'll go and do an outline, just to sort of tighten things up, but by then I feel like you've really kind of discovered so much.
Interesting, so you kind of go from one to the other, because a lot of people will start out being a person who just starts with an idea and keeps going, and they find themselves down so many dead ends that they start… they actually probably come back the other way more and they will outline more.
Whereas you've actually gone from… you've actually done that in reverse, which I find really interesting.
Yeah. I think… I think it's more daring to not outline from the beginning. And I think I wasn't very daring, and I think I'm perhaps becoming more daring, because I'm not scared that I'm not going to finish the book now. I know I can finish a book. But, now it's about me making the story rich enough, that's the thing that's really hard for me.
That's interesting.
It's not about making it exciting, but it's making it, you know, something that you really can get your teeth into.
How much time do you spend each day writing? Because I know that you have a fairly busy life in many areas. I mean do you have a routine that you try to follow?
Yeah, I try to speak, you know, maybe keep it to like four months of the year or something. And I speak in March and in May and sort of, you know, July, August and the beginning of September are pretty busy. But, I try to sort of contain it these days so that there are months in between where I write. Because I find that if I speak and tour and speak and tour for a long period at once I start to get nervous and anxious that I'm not writing.
And I find that if at least in that period of the year, if it's on a month off, that it allows me to really feel like I'm getting some writing done and then I really enjoy the speaking. And then from about September through to February I get about six months where I can really get down into the bigger book that I'm working on, and… yeah. That's really good. And I try to write from 8:00-12:00 each day on the main project that I'm working on.
And I used to do 2,000 words a day, and now I find on Two Wolves and on the next book that I'm working on, it's another sort of crime mystery, I find it ends up more like 1,000 words in a day.
And that's just more comfortable. I just find they're better words when I do the 1,000, so I've had to sort of, you know, not be too hard myself.
Fair enough.
I remember Valerie talking about an interview she did with you where, I think this was a couple of years ago, because I think your children were quite young, she said where you used to go for a walk each morning and actually write on your phone as you walked. Are you still doing that?
Yeah, I do still do that.
I was doing it yesterday, actually, on the beach and you tend to… the reason I do it is that I'll sit down in the morning and I'll write and then, you know, after an hour and a half or so you get twitchy and you get… you need to move. And, um, and so I'll go out with a chapter, maybe a new chapter, it's more difficult to edit on the phone as you walk.
But, in terms of new stuff I'll sort of go, "OK, I've got this problem with this particular scene," or chapter and I'll go out and I'll write and I'll work through that problem. I find the fresh air and the sound of the ocean and the forward motion sort of makes you… gets your mind off of it a little bit, which then allows a solution to come. Or I'll find a fresh chapter that I haven't started on yet and I'll dive into that and find the first draft as I walk.
It does end up… those scenes and chapters often do end up being some of the better stuff that I write, strangely.
Do you worry about falling over as you type as you walk?
I do. I usually walk on, you know, reasonably deserted beaches.
I can just see you walking into the back of someone, "Oh, sorry."
Yeah… yeah. No, because you do, you get totally focused and you sort of look up and you think, "Oh my god, where am I?" Yeah, they're usually pretty… it's not like Bondi on Christmas Day kind of thing.
No, no. And at least there's no traffic for you to avoid.
Are you a person, I think you mentioned before you have notebooks, you write in notebooks, so do you have notebooks of ideas and you just sort of move onto the next one when you've finished a book? Or do you — like, what's your inspiration process? Are you… I know we've spoken to some authors who don't have any idea of what they're going to write next until they're sort of writing the last chapter of their current project, and then we have other authors who've just got like a stack of notebooks and they just pull out the next one when they're ready to do something. Are you somewhere in between that, or…?
I am always writing in notebooks. I don't get back to reread the notebooks as often as I would like these days. So, it's a process and you get things down and sometimes… and in theory I go back and reread them and then highlight the best stuff. And just by letting that compost and rereading the notebooks from time to time one of the ideas is you've got brewing back there kind of bubbles to the surface and becomes the next book.
So, look, I do… I always do… I don't think I'd be very good, I think I'd be too nervous as I neared the end of the book not knowing what was going to come at all.
I do have a couple of books that are always kind of jockeying for position to be the next book. And there are often things I've had in the back of my mind or wrote… wrote a draft on three years ago and then put it away. Or have been just noodling away with for a couple of years. That's when I find the… that's how I find the projects ripen.
And have you ever… are they all for children? Have you ever written a draft of a novel for adults or anything? Is that something that you would ever do, do you think?
I don't really think about it, actually. I don't… I find it satisfying enough writing stuff for kids, especially writing the My Life for younger kids and they're more… I'm more freestyling mode and humor and they're just plain fun. And I find that satisfies a certain part of my personality. And then I find having a bigger sort of more layered novel happening in the background of that satisfies the other part of me.
And I find in those layered novels you can really get into some big ideas, you know?
And I think perhaps writing for children makes you be more clear and makes you… yeah, just write in a more succinct way. Yeah, I don't really think much about writing for adults. I mean that's just an instinctive thing. But, aside from that I think you develop an audience for your books and it takes a long time to develop an audience for your books, years. And, I think unless you just happen to write an Eye of the Sheep or something that sort of just knocked everyone out of the ballpark that, you know?
Then I think it's really difficult to then develop a whole other audience, you know? It takes a long time for people to find your story. So… I guess I'm… and I think having kids at this time too, I love writing stories that I can then, you know, try out on them. And, that appeal to them.
Speaking of, you know, finding your audience and things like that, you do a lot of school visits, well, just you seem to, I'm just watching your progress from afar.
But, do you find that to be… is that an effective… the most effective way you think to reach your audience at this stage?
Yeah. At first I didn't think that I would necessarily enjoy doing school visits. I thought, "Well, I've got all of this writing to do and I want to be left alone to write," and then that will eat into my time and all of that sort of stuff. But, actually once I started doing school visits I realized that well, a.) once you've worked out a few things that you could talk about… it's difficult at first because you don't know what to say, but then you work out a few things that you like to talk about and it forces you to bring the stories to life in different ways. And I think that's pretty important.
I think it is a good way to reach your readers and I think it has a really great effect in terms of inspiring kids to read and to write their own stories. But, I sort of really like that aspect of it that you are forced to think about your stories in different ways.
And often, you know, like the book that I've been working on, that I'm working on at the moment, it's maybe at a fourth draft, I wrote a first draft of it maybe three or three and a half years ago, and about a year ago I was really lost and I was thinking, "I don't know if this thing's working." I thought, "I'll read the first chapter of it…" the first draft… I spent three weeks at the school reading. I thought, "I'll read the first chapter of it to this group," and for some crazy reason I happened to choose a year nine group on a Friday afternoon, last period.
Oh, Tristan, what were you thinking?
I don't know. I'm insane. And you know that is the worst possible group, you know, and they're going to riot and they're going to throw stuff at you.
Oh, yep.
But, actually, amazingly they sort of leaned in and really kind of engaged with the story and then asked, "What happens next?" And I was like, "OK… that's really good." I suddenly had faith in this story that I was really worried about. And I think that kind of thing, in those really difficult writing periods can drive you forward. The fact that it is, you know, that the story does engage people in some way makes you think, "OK… yeah, I know why I'm writing this."
Apart from not speaking to year nine on a Friday afternoon, which I have to tell you the idea of that just makes me feel quite ill. Have you got any tips for new or aspiring children's authors on creating a successful school visit? Like, what have you found works well for you? Like, just give me a couple of ideas.
I think don't talk down to the kids, you know? Try to be… just be you. Um, don't try to sort of make it, "Hey kids," or, you know, just… I think genuinely the way to not be nervous about it too is just to tell your stories, tell the stuff that you're genuinely enthusiastic about, as opposed to thinking too much about, "What will I say that they will like?" So, I think if you… if you genuinely love the stories that you're working on and if they started out in some interesting way, or you gathered together interesting images while you were working on it, or there was some particular, you know, two minute news story that you saw on YouTube while you were researching or there was music you listened to while you were writing that had some impact on the story, you know, pulling all of that stuff together, the thing that inspired you and then sharing that with other people, whether they be kids or adults, because I find if you find something good it works on either audience.
I think that's the way, you know? Just share your genuine excitement about a particular story and people will respond to that.
What about the idea of building an author platform? Like, you know this is talked about a lot in a lot of different circles, like, do you put much thought into that? As to kind of raising your profile online or any of those sorts of things?
Yeah, I have done over time thought, you know, I always knew I think from the very beginning back when, you know, eight years ago or something if you googled my name, before I had a website, actually, it would be I don't know, whatever random things came up, a Wikipedia from acting work that I had done ten years before, or I don't know… you just didn't have any control. And, I think that I… my agent sort of came from the background of being a web mistress and she sort of pointed me towards the idea that, you know, you can have a strong say in what comes up in those top ten Google rankings. And she sort of suggested how important that was. And, I thought, "OK, well, if I set up a website…" and she was like, "Yeah, and set up Facebook and set up this…" and I was like, "Oh, do I have to?" And she said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah… do it… do it." And I was like, "OK…"
And so I sort of set up everything. I had a Myspace about eight years ago and I… and I set up a site and I, um, and then sort of 2009 I think Zoe Wallton, my publisher at Random House, she said, "You know what? Twitter would be really good for you." And I was like, "No… don't make me." And I set up Twitter and then, you know, and that's something that I've really enjoyed. I like the brevity of it, and I like the sharing of ideas and information. And, the fact that it's not… you don't have to divulge too much of your own personal stuff.
Yeah, so I think I've just had a go at everything. I've got YouTube and I put my book trailers up on there. I've got a blog, which is a kind of core of my website, and I think I like the fact that it means that front page of my website is constantly turning over. If you go there every week or a couple of times a week, sometimes three times a week there's going to be something new there, or a review of a book, or some news, or something interesting in the world of kid's books.
So, I think it's been partly… partly sort of me wanting to experiment, partly sort of being pushed to try things and not wanting to, but actually enjoying it afterwards. And I really think it is… it is worth diving into all of these things and sort of seeing how you can do it in a way that feels authentic to you.
And if you really don't like a particular platform then not… then, you know? Don't do it.
Don't do it.
So, where do you put your time now that you've tried everything in the world including Myspace, where do you choose to put your time now? So, Twitter and your blog mostly?
Uh, probably Twitter and I really like Instagram, actually. I put up an image on Instagram. I tried to do it, you know, once a day on weekdays. And, um, yeah… and I really enjoy it in that I like visual things, and it seems like a good way to engage with the readership too.
I was going to say, do you find you get your readers there on Instagram?
Because I think a lot of kids are using that platform.
Yeah, not so much on Facebook, not on Twitter, probably more so on YouTube and Instagram, kids will leave messages and I tend not to follow back on Instagram, because I sort of think that kids need to be able to have their space and their own privacy and things. And kids will say, "Follow me, follow me… FOLLOW ME." And, I just sort of say, "Oh, look, I just think that you should have your own space, you don't need adults who are not in your family looking at your pictures everyday sort of thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But, I say, you know, "Feel free to leave comments here on any of my images, and I'll always, you know, chat back." And, yeah, that seems to work really well.
Oh, that's good. That's a good tip, actually. Because I think that is a difficult thing for adults on Instagram, because if you do have a large child readership you don't really want too involved in it, do you?
I think so. There's something… I think you have to be really careful to sort of draw that line. And, I think that just that thing too of kids sharing whatever they're doing. I don't know… for my own kids would want to know which adults were sort of seeing the things that my kids were putting up online. So…
No, I think having that conversation, but it not being invasive is really important.
All right. And, our last question for today's exciting interview is our usual one that we ask, which is we're looking for three top tips for aspiring authors. What have you got for me?
And you're going, "Why didn't you tell me that you were going do this, Allison?"
Three top tips for aspiring authors. I would say that old chestnut of… well, certainly writing every day goes without saying. You know, you have to write something every day, whether it's towards your novel or you're just doing morning pages. That's how you become a writer, I think. And that's how you get faith in your own writing, and that's how you find your voice as a writer.
So, I think getting something down every single day is really important.
I think believing in… writing the kind of thing that you like to read, as opposed to sort of being cynical about it and trying to write the thing that you think that other people might want you to write.
Yeah. Yep.
I think that's really important. Obviously, you know, if you write, you know, sort of German hymns or something like that, then you want to write for the children's market, that might be… in Australia that might be a difficult match.
But, you know, there's a friction point between, uh, what could possibly get published and the kind of thing that you love. And, if you don't love children's books, then you certainly shouldn't be writing them. And, if you don't love reading, then you probably shouldn't be writing either.
But, I think really write that book that you almost dare not write because it seems so scary.
And, I think thirdly, I think have fun with it. It's difficult, you know? Being by yourself a lot is very difficult. Spend… rereading your stuff and even 15 minutes after you've written it and you reread it and you think, "What was I thinking? This is the worst thing I've ever read." But, then you do that every single day of your life and that can be difficult and that can make you want to go out and get a real job.
But, I think sitting… being able to sit with the fact that most of your writing will stink up to those fifth or sixth or seventh drafts, if you can sit with that, then you can really be a writer.
Fantastic. Well, thank you so much for your time today. We really appreciate it, Tristan. Congratulations on your recent win and good luck with all of the various things you have going on going forward.
No problem, good luck with your books too.
Thank you.
They're taking over the world.
Oh, the whole word.
All right, thanks.
OK, cool. See ya.

Guddi, a beneficiary of the SOS Family Strengthening Programme, in her small shop with her children
SOS India has been reaching out with success
Kavita Charanji, Faridabad
In SOS Children's Villages, homeless children and single mothers are brought together to live as families in a home environment. With 32 projects in 22 states and 25,000 children under its care, SOS's operations in India are its largest internationally.
"In our villages, the focus is on giving every child a caring and loving family and creating a community so that they are not in child care institutions but belong to a family and home," says Anuja Bansal, secretary-general, SOS Children's Villages of India.
The India operation has been successful in tackling numerous new issues from shrinking funding, to bringing up older children, the impact of new technology including social media, and more.
A happy family of nine studying outside their home in the SOS Children's Village
But perhaps the most significant achievement since the villages were first set up in 1964, has been to reach out and boost SOS Children's Villages' Family Strengthening Programme (FSP) which helps vulnerable families take care of their children.
The FSP dates back a decade, but has received an impetus in recent years. It is aimed at preventing abandonment of children by vulnerable sections such as single women, widows and below poverty line (BPL) families.
The FSP runs in slums and rural areas that lie within a 30-km radius of an SOS Children's Village. The programme, which runs for a time span of three to five years, has empowered many families economically and socially.
By strengthening education, health, nutrition, and vocational training, the needs of the children are addressed. Self-help groups (SHGs) of women are organised and are helped to become financially literate and boost their income.
The child's caregiver, usually the mother, sometimes the father or an elder sibling, is helped to earn a livelihood through livestock ...

This blog is about a voyage of adventure and discovery. AquaSource (UK) Ltd has recently appointed a new Sales and Marketing Director, David Bosley. He has now returned from a fascinating visit to Lake Klamath, with CEO Sian Lewis, to learn about the origins of AquaSource, and its core product line, blue green algae (AFA).
He said he already knew that the products were special, having used them for several years after having been given some Colostrum by a distributor some years ago, but he was now itching to know what makes AquaSource algae products so very special. Sian wanted him to experience Klamath Lake and surroundings for himself, and off they went.
This was his experience, in his own words:
"So having the privilege to travel to Klamath, with the one individual who probably knows more about our products than anybody else, and whose passion for the products and the company knows no bounds, Sian Lewis, was a fantastic opportunity, and a wonderful experience.
Our adventure began in Mount Shasta, where we experienced the awesome energy of this area, the abundance of nature, the purity of the water. The walk up Mount Shasta was fantastic. You feel the power emanating from the mountain, and feel the tranquillity, before reaching Panther meadow, where snows were still lying from a late snowfall. The mountain streams were flowing with wonderful tasting fresh pure water from snow melt.
We then visited Crater Lake, at an altitude of around 7,000 feet. Crater Lake was formed thousands of years ago when Mount Mazama exploded – a 15,000 ft volcano, which erupted, spreading debris all over the surrounding countryside, even reaching Canada. It left the local areas and lakes with a liberal coating of volcanic ridge which is extremely abundant in minerals.
Not far away, and fed by snow melt from the same mountain ranges, and with the same mineral rich volcanic ridge at its base, we found the beautiful Lake Klamath, the source of the incredible superfood which is the reason for being for our company – Aphanizomenon flos-aqua (AFA) blue-green algae.
Blue green algae dates back 2.8 billion years, and is believed to be largely responsible for the creation of our atmosphere, creating the conditions for life on earth as we know it today. It forms the basis of the food chain. It is almost impossible to imagine the world as it was back then – just learning about the history of blue green algae puts into perspective how short a time we humans have been around on earth.
Whilst blue green algae can be found in water across the world, the algae found in Lake Klamath are totally unique, due to the unique geographical and environmental conditions of the area.
The benefits of AFA are countless. As a food supplement it is probably the most important you can take. We know that one of the frustrations of our industry is that we are unable to write much about the real power of some of our products; however the best thing to do is to try the products for yourself, and also to talk to those who have been using them for years.
Among the benefits anybody will receive from taking our AquaSource Algae are:
- Extremely rich and easily digestible source of very high quality protein
- Super abundant in Chlorophyll which helps to build our blood
- Very high concentration of phycocyanin, which helps the immune system by stimulating production of stem cells by the bone marrow
- An incredible 40 major and trace minerals, plus all the necessary amino acids.
Due to limitations of space it is not possible in this article to go into all the areas in which the constituent parts of AFA can be of benefit to the human physiology, but I would like to briefly list some of the more important ones.
B and C Vitamins:
AFA is rich in B and C vitamins which help the body fight stress and produce energy more efficiently.
AFA is a complete, natural protein source, being 60% protein, with 18 amino acids. The proteins in AFA are more easily assimilable by the body, and also more easily produce the neurotransmitters essential for brain health. The Phycocyanin found in AFA also works synergistically with the amino acids in this respect.
Phenylethylamine (PEA):
This is a brain chemical naturally produced by our bodies from two amino acids, and is found in concentrated form in AFA. PEA increases the activity of certain neurotransmitters in the brain which control our ability to focus and stay alert. PEA has many other benefits. However, it is associated with happiness and also increases levels of dopamine which induce feelings of concentration and positivity, and effectiveness of another chemical norepinephrine, which promotes feelings of joy.
AFA is an exceptional source of iron, which is essential to good health, and particularly important to those following restricted or vegetarian diets.
Digestive wellness:
AFA contains thousands of enzymes. Importantly these are maintained in the AquaSource Algae products due to the low temperatures used in our drying process.
All of these benefits come from a simple product, which grows annually in the water and, after harvesting, is dried through AquaSource's BioActive Dehydration(R) process that dehydrates algae to a powder with virtually no degradation of nutritional elements, colour, aroma or flavour, put into capsules, and delivered to you!
It is difficult to express in words the beauty of the water in this area, and the taste, which was exactly why Sian wanted me to experience it for myself, and I would highly encourage anybody to take any opportunity they have to travel to this magical area."

Bus Riders Urged to Consider Transit Alternatives
News Articles
Plan for Possible Walkout by Bus Operators & Mechanics
For the past three months, AC Transit management has been negotiating with the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) in an effort to reach a contract agreement and avoid any service disruptions due to labor strife with our operators and mechanics.
The agency has negotiated in good faith, hoping to secure either a labor accord or an extension of the current contract so as to maintain operations while continuing to resolve outstanding contract issues. So far, neither has occurred and the June 30, 12:00 a.m. contract deadline is fast approaching.
Although the negotiations are ongoing and AC Transit is hopeful for a resolution, bus riders should consider transit alternatives for Monday morning, July 1, in the event ATU bus operators and mechanics opt for a work stoppage.
While we will continue to provide updates on ATU labor issues, the AC Transit website will continue to be your best source of official and accurate information about AC Transit bus services and labor contract progress. Also please visit www.actransit.org for frequent updates or call 511 to aid in trip planning and other travel needs.
In the meantime, we are happy that we are able to provide our passengers and the public essential transit services as we strive to resolve labor issues.
