Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt seemed to embody an N.F.L. that had been regaining its footing after a period of sliding ratings and fan anger over player protests during the national anthem.
The league has enjoyed higher-scoring games, better television ratings and the emergence of several exciting young players like Hunt, who has been a force behind the Chiefs' ascension the last two years.
Now, Hunt has come to embody something else about the league: Its recurring problem with players' abusive conduct off the field and a penchant for giving second chances to those who play well despite a professed intolerance for off-field transgressions.
And so the N.F.L., the nation's richest and most popular sports league, again finds itself under scrutiny for something other than touchdowns and tackles, having to answer for the reality that some teams will sign troubled but talented players as long as they can tolerate the bad publicity.
On Friday, a graphic video emerged of Hunt shoving a woman, before and after she struck him in the face, and kicking her when she was on the ground during an altercation in a Cleveland hotel in February. The Chiefs quickly announced they would release him, and Hunt was later suspended indefinitely from playing by the league.
Both the league and the Chiefs said they had investigated the episode immediately after it occurred. But no criminal charges were filed, and no disciplinary action was taken at the time. The N.F.L. and the Chiefs said they had not seen the hotel video, which TMZ obtained and posted.
The N.F.L. did not interview Hunt because none of the alleged victims would speak to the league. Instead, the league relied on the Chiefs, who were told by Hunt that no violence had occurred, according to a person briefed on the investigation who was not authorized to discuss its specifics.
Hunt was involved in another violent episode in May, when he punched a man in the face, but again, the police did not file charges, and the Chiefs took no action against him.
Also last week, Reuben Foster, a linebacker, was released by the San Francisco 49ers after being arrested on domestic violence charges, but was then almost immediately hired by the Washington Redskins. Foster is suspended from play and practices but can work out and attend team meetings.
Doug Williams, the former player and current Redskins executive, was roundly criticized when he described Foster's arrest as "small potatoes" in a radio interview. He later apologized.
Experts who have advised the league said teams were foremost focused on winning, and the league and teams preferred to handle situations that might require discipline internally, keeping matters under wraps as long as possible. If the bad behavior is exposed, teams adopt a crisis response approach to clean it up.
"They hold everything close to the chest," said Rene Redwood, who has advised the league on issues of race and abuse. "When it becomes a consistent problem, and holding the information doesn't seem to remedy it, they try to get through it with another public relations activity."
The league in recent years has sought to project intolerance for off-field misconduct. In 2014, after several star players — including Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy — were suspended after they had been charged with physical abuse or domestic violence, the N.F.L. beefed up its investigation unit and said it would no longer rely solely on the police or whether charges had been filed when assessing possible misconduct.
Yet self-reflection and scrutiny have never been this league's strong suit — it's a multibillion-dollar business trying to survive and thrive amid questions about head injuries and the changing dynamics of television — and some players are penalized only a few games, if at all, for their misconduct. They often get signed by teams that cross their fingers and hope the players behave.
"It sends a troubling message because there's a lack of consistency," said Mark Conrad, who teaches sports law and ethics at Fordham University. These episodes are "a validation of the continued problem the league has with this issue, that individual teams will prioritize their need for certain players despite questionable behavior off the field."
Indeed, Clark Hunt, the Chiefs' co-owner and chief executive, said this summer that he was hopeful that Kareem Hunt had learned from his past. "I'm sure he learned some lessons this off-season and hopefully won't be in those kinds of situations in the future," he said.
On Sunday, Kareem Hunt apologized but also asked for another chance to play in the N.F.L. "I was in the wrong," Hunt told ESPN. "I'm asking for forgiveness and I definitely believe I deserve forgiveness."
Coach Andy Reid said little about the situation after Kansas City's 40-33 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday, which bumped their record to 10-2.
"As we've done in the past, we handle it within and we handle it with the person affected," Reid said.
Players have due process rights under the collective bargaining agreement and can be falsely accused, of course. Yet the league also has been burned by relying on incomplete police investigations, so it has come to do its own digging to determine if penalties are warranted, even if no criminal charges are filed. Still the N.F.L., lacking the authority of law enforcement, has had trouble gathering evidence and getting the cooperation of those making accusations.
The police in Cleveland were also limited in what they could do. A spokeswoman for the Cleveland Police, Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia, said that detectives do not pursue cases like Hunt's, which was classified as misdemeanor assault. To file charges, the accuser would have had to go to the city prosecutor's office, which she did not do.
Sergeant Ciaccia did not say whether the N.F.L. had asked her department for the video of the altercation. But she said the department never had the video, and that "to my knowledge" the police never saw it. "The video may have been released by the hotel," she added.
Even so, the cases of Foster and Hunt are as much about how their teams gave them the benefit of the doubt more than once.
Kyle Shanahan, the 49ers coach, told reporters that the team didn't need to wait for the legal process to conclude before deciding to cut Foster.
But Foster has been part of several other troubling episodes. He was sent home from the scouting combine two years ago because of an altercation with a hospital worker. He was accused of domestic violence during the off-season, but his former girlfriend — the same woman from the most recent accusations — recanted the accusation. Foster was suspended for the first two games of this season because of a misdemeanor gun charge and a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge that was dropped. In October, Foster had another run-in with his former girlfriend, but no arrests were made.
It was only after Foster was arrested at the team hotel on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge hours before a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that the 49ers cut him.
"Too many things have happened, and we've tried to help him out a lot," Shanahan said. "And I know he has been trying, too. But this was a mess-up that it doesn't matter whether he did or not."
The Redskins did not share the 49ers' regrets. Two days after Foster was cut, the Redskins claimed him off waivers. Williams, the team's senior vice president of player personnel, said he hoped that Foster would turn himself around in Washington, where many of his former teammates from the University of Alabama play.
"Nothing is promised to Reuben, but we are hopeful being around so many of his former teammates and friends will eventually provide him with the best possible environment to succeed both personally and professionally," he said.
Even after the Redskins were criticized for picking up Foster before his legal case played out, Williams said that he was still worth the hassle.
"Basically what you're doing here is you're taking a high-risk chance," Williams said. "The high risk was the beat-up that we're going to take from the PR. We understood that from a PR standpoint, and we're taking it."
The Chiefs were willing to take the criticism for Hunt's actions in a hotel in Cleveland in February.
But once the video surfaced, there was no other way to spin the story, no matter how valuable Hunt is to the Chiefs' Super Bowl ambitions.
"If it's a particularly valuable player, they'll cross their fingers and hope he changes his behavior," said Kim Gandy, the president of the National Network to End Domestic Violence who advised the league several years ago. "Sometimes crossing their fingers works, and sometimes it doesn't."

L.A. band Beach Party has been invading the stages of venues in Los Angeles for the past year. I'm not a music expert. I know my place. But I have lost enough brain cells from New York City to Los Angeles to London to Bologna, Italy – watching small local bands experiment on the eardrums of kids, to know when an audience loves the unorganized vibrations probably as much as the band making them… And will shout back lyrics at a band that even the lead singers have momentarily forgotten in a whiskey haze.
The resilient armies of fans that stumble around to watch Beach Party show after show were really my inspiration for wanting to write a music video treatment for the band.
The first Beach Party music video "Fun" follows the largely popular narrative video style – it seems like everything is a "short film" now. This is not a short film. It is a music video where zombies drink beer, become junkies, and junkies become zombies, with a tiki demon burlesque interlude. If that's not "fun" to you, you probably don't have a pulse either.
If you want to travel and lose brain cells too – follow Beach Party around for their next shows including dates in New York City (Friday Jan 24 at Baby's All Right in Williamsburg) and Tijuana. Que Rico!
Check out facebook.com/BEACHPARTYYY for dates and more info!
Beach Party – Fun from Beach Party on Vimeo.
Beach Party Bassist Adam Arcos and I created the video together and sat down for an awkward attempt at interviewing each other about the video. And subsequently pondered how we managed to convince a tribe of our most talented friends to bring these sugar plum zombies to life with beer, a few safety pins, some pizza, and a couple buckets of fake blood
Kit: You have helped me costume a bunch of videos for other musicians. How was the experience of making a video for your own band?
Adam: Well, it's much different when it is something so close to you as opposed to being hired to do a job. Also co-directing/co-producing is much more involved. I liked overseeing the whole process but it was definitely one of the best and most rewarding experiences I've ever had and hope we can do it again in the future.
Kit: For me too! It was great to pick locations where my zombies and recent Hawaiian tiki inspirations could mix! I was really inspired by the Shoes music video "Time To Dance" too. It definitely crashed me into wanting to write a blood bath video. What was your inspiration in directing the video?
Adam: The inspiration came from your concept basically but I think shooting in the lo-fi renegade style really became inspiration in itself. Stealing shots from the graveyard at night with no lights. It's very "the Beach Party way". "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission." Ha.
But I def wanted it to have that 80's zombie movie feel.
Kit: Yes, the "Beach Party Way" was a big contributor to the video when you guys got kicked off stage of the show we were trying to tape for this video. Lowest- fi . haha
Adam: That said- that what was it like working with our band?
Kit: I was actually wishing I could have worked with you guys more in the video at first. When I originally wrote the treatment. I wanted BP to be hanging in the cemetery and the band decided to opt out. I liked the cameo at the end better anyway! — Do you think after this you guys will want to do a more performance-based video?
Adam: It's hard to say. I think we are all bigger fans of concept-based videos as oppose to a band just pretending to play their instruments in a room. Our live show is for that! Ha. But who knows, if the concept is right anything is possible.
Kit: well you guys are making some performance videos with Redbull now- and last year they found BP when you guys won the Redbull showcase for SXSW- what have been your favorite shows and what is coming up?
Adam: Yeah, that was a trip! Favorite show was probably opening for the Black Lips at the El Rey in Los Angeles. It's so amazing to play a place I've been goin to for years. Especially to a room filled with our friends. We have a couple shows out of state coming up. Tijuana which should be a trip and then we will be out in NYC January 24th & 25th for a couple shows. We have an EP being released very soon as well.
Kit: I love a beach party with no borders. Wish our little crew could follow you guys there for the video en Espanol.
Viva Beach Party.

Effective feedback is the way extraordinary facilitators leverage individual and group behavior to create the optimal conditions for learning and change within in a group session.
To this end, we at the Facilitators Studio use the A.R.M. feedback model in our work with individual and groups
A-CTION: What, specifically, did you hear and what did you see?
This may include words used by participants, the emotion/tone with which the words were delivered, or the non-verbal behavior expressed. "I heard you say, 'we can't talk about that', "When James made his point, I saw you roll your eyes", "You are crossing your arms"
R-ESPONSE: What was the impact on the people, process or mood in the room?
This includes what happened next after the behavior or action. Did people get more/less engaged?, Did the behavior help improve the way the group communicates or gets things done? Did the tone of the room change?
It may also include what you sense. Yes, sense. Sometimes we get a feeling that cannot and should not be ignored. A group response may include a mood change in which the tone of the interaction is affected. Extraordinary Facilitators are as good at reading moods as they are at measuring concrete behavior. With practice, these feelings and senses can be "operational-ized," or expressed effectively "I feel a significant drop in energy in the room" , "It now feels as though people are holding back", "I get the sense that people are very passionate about his issue"
M-EANING: Why does it matter?
This is a measure of the importance of behavior or words, related to what people or the organization cares about most. "You just came up with a rule innovative idea, which is highly valued here" , "Thank you for saying that! We value transparency and that his a great example of doing so.", "That is the first time I've heard you speak in that way. Thanks for taking the risk. We value courage here.
We invite you join us at our next Facilitators Studio workshop where we will practice A.R.M. Feedback and discover how to apply it back to your real-world scenarios.

London Ethnic AW16 Fashion Soiree
On Friday 19th February 2016, London Ethnic showcased the new "Made in London – Shoreditch" collection in a private fashion soiree at the Oxford House gallery in Bethnal Green, for selected invited buyers, bloggers and press.
Following the previous collection "Made In London – Mayfair" theme of "Urban Nature", the Collection Manager and Head Designer, Hannah Lloyd Jones, kept the sense of geometric shapes and architectural influence, broadened with a variety of colours and layered detailing.
London's Romanesque architecture, typified in the arches and colours of the Royal Albert Hall, was the inspiration that gracefully translated into layered block colour dresses, high waist trousers and cropped tops.
As a fashion label with strong production ethics at its core, the collection is made solely in the United Kingdom and features dresses and trousers' samples of sizes 8-18, showcased by healthy models.
One of the highlights of the showcase was the Teal Block Dress designed exclusively in support of the Ovarian Cancer charity Campaign "Ovacome".
All profits from the dress will go towards helping the "Ovacome" charity.
The night was a great opportunity for ethical and fashion bloggers, buyers, press and photographers to mingle and share their thoughts on the future of fashion and in particular on ethical fashion.
London Ethnic's dear friend, designer Victoria Charles displayed her latest sophisticated millinery collection which was modelled and showcased alongside the garments.
A special thank you for sponsors Top Herd & Easy Bean for feeding guests with their delicious and tasty organic products.

Even though "Israeli children—even infants—have regularly been the purposeful targets of Palestinian terror organizations," and "the murder of Israeli children has not only been indiscriminate, but deliberate," the United Nations and the international media continue to purvey "Palestinian" jihad propaganda and condemn Israel. The inversion of reality is monstrous. Not only do the "Palestinians" murder Israeli children, but they celebrate the murders by passing out candies on "Palestinian" streets. And the world not only turns a blind eye to this savagery, but subsidizes it. The norming of savagery and evil is the great horror of our age.
"Palestinian Terror Groups Deliberately Kill, Maim Children," by Martin Sherman, United With Israel, November 27, 2018 (thanks to Mark):
On International Children's Day, November 20, the British-based group Campaign4Truth held an event in London's Golders Green neighborhood, commemorating the Israeli children murdered or maimed by Arab terror since 1920. I was asked by the organizers to compose a short message for the event. This is what I wrote:
Terrorism is always heinous—but it is even more abhorrent when directed against children.
While every life lost is a tragedy—an entire world destroyed for the victim's loved ones—the brutal slaying of a child –and the taking of a life, intentionally cut short, well before any perceived blame for some real or imagined injustice could be credibly assigned to it—always seems so much more senseless and heartless.
Sadly, Israeli children—even infants—have regularly been the purposeful targets of Palestinian terror organizations. Indeed, the murder of Israeli children has not only been indiscriminate, but deliberate.
Arguably, one of the most horrific instances of terrorist infanticide was the murder of 10-month old Shalhevet Pass, who was shot through the head by a Palestinian-Arab sniper on March 26, 2001 in Hebron, while in her stroller with her parents.
In sentencing her killer, Mahmud Amru of the Fatah's Tanzim faction, after he was apprehended by the Israeli Security Services, the judges expressed their shock at the brutality of the murder.
"It was enough for one bullet, fired from a sniper rifle, to end the life of the infant Shalhevet Pass… The picture of the slain baby on our table is engraved in our minds and gives no peace to our souls. We cannot understand or accept the unbearable ease with which the killer decided to harm such a helpless person… we cannot see anything else but the image that it stirs in our minds, an image full of hate, blood and grief. We must not accept this image and we need to do everything we can to condemn it…"
Yet, with almost indescribable depravity, the Palestinian Authority's official radio station, the Voice of Palestine—in an attempt to distance the terror organization from the atrocity—alleged that the claims of the infant's death by sniper fire was a lie…and that it was the girl's mother herself who had murdered her own baby!
Admittedly, collateral damage—including juveniles casualties—has always been a regrettable outcome of war, but rarely have the deliberate slaughter of children—and their perpetrators—been feted as heroes, as they are in Palestinian-Arab society.
The record of Palestinian-Arab barbarity is replete with gory examples of terrorists explicitly targeting children—for example, in Kfar Chabad in 1956, where five children were gunned down by Palestinian terrorists; the 1974 Ma'alot massacre in the Galilee, when 22 schoolchildren were butchered; the gruesome stabbing and stoning to death of two schoolboys in Gush Etzion in 2001; the assault on the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva in Jerusalem in 2008, where seven young students lost their lives; and the 2014 kidnapping and murder of three youths in Gush Etzion—to name but a few.
84% of Palestinians supported massacre of young boys
It is not, however, only the bloodcurdling brutality of these and other acts that should cause shock and revulsion. It is also the manner with which they are celebrated by much of the Palestinian public at large. Thus, for example the massacre at the Mercaz HaRav yeshiva was not only praised by Hamas but – according Palestinian polls—supported by 84% percent of the Palestinian population!!…

Signiant Flight: Azure uploader
Microsoft Azure blob storage is an attractive, cost-effective solution for data storage, and providing user access to cloud services. Still, if you'll be transferring large files or data sets, uploading to and from Azure can be a real challenge. While Azure does provide options for transferring data, unless your physical location is in close proximity to a Microsoft data center, standard methods are slow and unreliable.
Azure's developers have chosen to focus on providing excellent cloud storage – whereas Signiant focuses our expertise on large file transfer protocol. Which is why we make excellent partners.
Introducing Signiant Flight – an Azure-friendly uploader which provides load balancing and auto-scaling benefits (just like those available with Amazon S3 storage). Azure support in Flight enables all the capabilities you'd expect – including checkpoint restarts, and fast transfers of large files and data sets — but also provides additional security and permissioning features not available with Azure alone.

Do you remember the scrunchie trend first time around? Spotted on the catwalks of London and New York in the Autumn/Winter season, scrunchie hair styles are back and well worth a revisit!
We have a variety of styles in our collection of scrunchies, from bold prints to elegant velvet, helping you to create the look you want. Popular from the late-1980s to the mid-1990s, scrunchies were a quick and easy way to add a pop of colour to your hairstyle. With a mix of prints and styles that tap into current fashion trends, our selection of scrunchies for hair is an affordable and versatile way of updating your look and trying new styles.
The simplest scrunchie hair style is to loop it over a pony tail or a bun. We have some gorgeous pastels and pinks that are just perfect for spring. Try our collection of Pastel Scrunchies, or embrace flower power with these pretty Mini Floral Scrunchies in shades to suit all blooms. These Beaded Rose Scrunchies in cream, pink and purple are just perfect for flower girls and little ones can also accessorise their summer school uniform with a Gingham Scrunchie in a range of soft shades.

For a chic evening look, finish a braid or plait with our Diamante Velvet Scrunchie. Simply tuck the end of the plait under and loop the scrunchie round. If your hair is fine, our Small Velvet Scrunchies will add a sophisticated finishing touch without overpowering your hair style.
Fashion loves to play around with different prints and textures, and scrunchies are the ideal way to introduce the latest trends to your look.

text: Japan may be one of the most advanced in the fields of architecture, construction and technology and for sure design was never an issue. The Unou House is located in Toyota, Aichi Perfecture which was completed just last July 2012. A black wooden house that is arranged between two frames at either end, one vertical and the other is horizontal, both ends serve as entrance to the house. With the next few pictures, you will be able to see a tall and narrow entrance that slopes down to a low and wide living space. The idea of not putting walls on the house was both for the "one room" that the designers wanted to achieve and of course, for the purposes of great ventilation and to make the flow of air in the house great. This triangular home will surely impress you. Katsutoshi Sasaki + Associates was the designer of this 83.48 square meter home by the Train Tracks. This site is surrounded with great options for the view, but the designers made it sure to put the entrances by the east and west to showcase the best places where the view is better. The designers thought of making "picture frames" for the views that the house have, one in the east and one in the west. Now, take a look at the pictures that we will be showing for you to be able to admire The Unou House.

Suddenly her phone stopped working, if you called the number, someone in Blenheim answered
Calls to the help desk had them bumped all over the place because "the fibre help desk is closed and they have fibre" even when fibre was not installed. They wouldn't listen. Eventually this issue got solved after much head banging.
Fast forward to today.
They had the fibre finally installed yesterday and the number has been transferred back to the same person in Blenheim !!
So now they are without a phone for a second time and 2 customers are getting increasingly frustrated.
The calls to the help desk won't understand what's happening and keep asking them to change modem settings
Can anyone help ??

If you want to try your hand at the craft of short story writing, the following points will give you some basic guidelines.
Creative writing can be fun, but writing a good short story takes talent, skill, and work. To become a successful story writer it is essential to read stories by masters of the art, such as Ernest Hemingway, Anton Tsjekhov, Somerset Maugham or Roald Dahl, and study their techniques and approaches. Furthermore, some feedback from an experienced reader may come in handy during the process, along with an open mind to comments. A successful product will need many rewrites and edits and an idea will also need a certain amount of time to mature.
Idea and Plot
Step one is to come up with an idea that can be developed into a plot. The idea should be original and have some sort of irony or twist to it; for example a protagonist involved in some shady business, who ends up a victim of his own scheme, or it could just be that in the line of events something unforeseen happens that turns the tables completely. Once you have an idea you can start planning the plot. Writers use different techniques for this; some need to have it all worked out in detail before they start writing, whereas others have a fair idea of where the story should go and how it will end, and the plot develops underway. What is most important is to keep in mind the original idea, the turning point or climax, and the twist or irony at the end, then the rest will normally sort itself out during the writing, editing and rewriting.
The way you organise your plot is crucial to make the reader want to go on reading. Structure or composition means the order of events in a narrative. There are many ways to compose a story; the sequence of events can be told chronologically, or it can be told in flashbacks or in retrospect. Here are some examples of different ways to compose your story.
Start near the ending: A common technique to create suspense is to start the narrative somewhere near the ending and gradually reveal how the line of events developed into this dramatic situation. This will encourage the reader to go on reading, which basically is the point of telling the story in the first place.
Chronological sturcture: The chronological structure is not as boring as it may sound, as long as you manage to keep the attention of the reader it is perfectly all right to start with the beginning and end with the ending.
A story within a story: Still another, somewhat more advanced approach, is to create a story within the frame of another story, where the frame story is the actual narrative, but will be complemented by the "inside" story so the theme will come out on several levels.
Start in the middle of the action: Many writers want to start the narrative in the middle of some action (in medias res), then take a step back and explain the circumstances that led to the situation. This opening may be an effective way to capture the interest of the reader from the start.
Foreshadowing: Yet another narrative technique is to insert a small element in the beginning that will foreshadow the turning point or the irony that comes later in the story. It will work as a sort of warning and awaken the reader's apprehension for what is to come. This is a way of building a well planned narrative where all the different elements come together as a unit.
Characters and Setting
Usually a short story casts a limited line of characters, mainly because the story is not long enough to display more than one or two personalities. In a short story there should not be more information about the characters than what is strictly relevant for the plot. Based on the information given about the characters the reader must see their actions and behaviour as credible and logical. The setting should be carefully described and go hand in hand with the development of the plot. Weather, day or night, and the environment in general should also have a clear relevance to the action. In a successful short story these elements form a unit that intensifies the narrative as a whole.
Language and Information
This is to some extent a question of talent. Firstly, it is essential for a good story to avoid clichés, verbal as well as structural. (Check Literary Terms in link collection for a definition of verbal and structural clichés.) The language is what carries the entire story, so it is crucial to put some effort into creating an original non-clichéd language. Secondly, it is important not to be too eager and feed the reader with too much information. The trick is to trust the reader's own capability to draw conclusions and understand. For example, an effective ending is to stop the narrative when the reader can imagine the outcome, without being told. Roald Dahl had a way with this. In general, one could say that the ultimate writing process will be mindful of what not to tell, which in a good narrative may be more important than what is told. The underlying information presented in hints and insinuations is what gives depth to a story. Study Hemingway's brilliant technique on this. Keep the description and information strictly to what is necessary for the idea, the atmosphere and the plot. Remember that often "less is more" – and don't underestimate the reader.
Narrative Angle
This can be tricky. Many amateur writers just go ahead without giving much consideration to the point of view of the story, and they end up with a confusing and illogical narrative. In brief, the angle means who sees, who knows, and who informs.
1st person form: One common point of view is to see the action through the eyes of the protagonist who then relates the story in a 1st person form. This has some advantages and some drawbacks. The benefit is that it will give the narrative a more dramatic and "self-experienced" style which will be easier for the reader to identify with. However, this angle is very limited and will only tell the story as seen and experienced by the protagonist.
3rd person view: A limited 3rd person view will leave the writer more freedom and possibilities as he can describe the action and the protagonist from the outside, and also tell what goes on in his mind. This gives the reader the role of an observer like a fly on the wall, who at the same time can follow the protagonist's reflections.
Omniscient view: The omniscient view is the same as a narrator who is everywhere – in the minds of all the characters and at the same time can describe the action from the outside. This angle is not so common in modern writing; it was more used in traditional folk tales and legends.
Other Elements
Symbols and metaphors: Experienced writers will know how to add symbols and metaphors to their narrative to enhance its thematic significance and give the story a poetic touch. This is a subtle technique and will take some skill and practice to apply. But if it is done with finesse these elements will certainly supplement the story.
Title: The title must sum up the theme or the irony in a brief slogan-like expression. It may look enigmatic and even meaningless to a new reader, but after having read the story, a good title will make sense.
Choice of words: Your choice of words should be careful and conscious. This is more than avoiding clichés, because the vocabulary you apply will also provide the mood and atmosphere of a narrative. It is like painting a picture in colours compared to a black and white image. There are, for example, a number of different words that will cover "dark", and you may choose the one that gives that specific tone which will set the mood just the way you want it. For this purpose it is helpful to work with a good thesaurus at hand; it will present synonyms and different alternatives for the word you want to use
Language freedom: Creative writing is to some extent like freestyle sport. The writer can take liberties with the language that would not be accepted in formal contexts. Incomplete sentences will for example be all right to describe a hectic or dramatic scene, even though your word processor will probably not approve.
Writing a story may seem difficult if one must take all these elements into consideration, and to be honest, it is. Writing is a form of art that will take both learned skills as well as talent. However, with some creativity and practice you may discover your talent as you go along. Go to Mind the Gap (Short Story Writing) for an example of a short story and the techniques used in its construction.

Atlético will have to manage the start of their season without a key member of the team – Diego Simeone has been handed an eight game ban after his sending off against Real Madrid on Friday night.
The Spanish Football Association came down hard on Cholo, after he was said to have slapped the back of the fourth official's neck in our Super Cup victory.
Due to the severity of the offence, the ban will come into force immediately, and Simeone will serve part of the ban during league matches too.
Already prohibited from sitting on the bench for tonight's game at Rayo following a booking against Barcelona on the final day of last season, Cholo will miss the next four league matches. These are games against Eibar, Real Madrid, Celta and Almeria.
The rest of the ban will be served in future Spanish Supercopa matches – so we won't be seeing Simeone at another match in this competition for at least 2 years.
Simeone faced four different charges by Competition Committee – all from Friday night. He received a four game ban for hitting the referee, two games for being sent off, one game for sarcastically applauding referee and then another for refusing to go to the changing rooms.
At a press conference before the Vallecano game, Simeone had full faith in his assistant, German Burgos.
"We'll try to look for the best way to communicate. Germán has the capability and the confidence. I'm calm about the fact we see football the same way. He'll be there on the bench and I'll be watching on from somewhere else."
As far as his own actions go, Cholo seemed apologetic.
"The matter is over as far as I'm concerned. It's not good to keep talking about the same thing. The people who make the decisions have to look at how justifiable the suspension is. When you make a mistake, you have to pay for it."
The matter doesn't seemed close for Atlético however, as the club said they plan to appeal against the ban.
Unless the appeal is successful, Simeone will return to the bench for the clash against Sevilla at the Vicente Calderon on the 28th September.
Also at the meeting, Ronaldo escaped punishment for punching Godin.
You can see the Cholo incident in the video below.
Do you think the ban was justified? Does this jeopardise our season?

Here in West Brunswick I have found all my Tuscanies,
From histories in Calabria, Hong Kong, Chile, Vietnam, Sicily, and Macedonia come the home grown gifts, sun reimagined in a hundred ways,
Yes, I had to leave one world behind to find another, but that is what makes this bounty of caring so rich; it had to happen quickly. I have found Pinchus and his family, Virginia offering zucchini fritters
and Felix, her 14 year old son, sharing his love of cooking with me and always, Ruby, who comes over
to discuss her writing, her thinking, with me one afternoon a week and I am honored. For that short while, all my life as a teacher lives again as I learn and learn from Ruby.

Did they play Temptation? :)
Yes. It was the best of the night we agreed and in the "club" section of the gig according to Barney.
Shit. I was gonna go to that gig. Forgot it was on.
you "FORGOT"?? :)
I know. Shocking isn't it. Especially since I've just really got into them. And they're getting on now, how long before they have to give up touring for fear of breaking a hip?
That's a shame :( hopefully they will return, but then, it's only a matter of time before Hooky trips over his own insanely low-slung bass and causes himself massive injury..

To activate Faith in the real sense we cannot be caught up in a mirage of the truth. We need to soak up the word to access God's mind on any matter. As believers never has it been more important to buckle up and take our place.
The truth is many believers are caught up in the standards the world sets, when we do this we become complacent; accepting anything the enemy throws. We cannot afford to live beneath the life that we have been called to live, the life Christ died to redeem.
Faith is not an option for us; it is to be our way of life. If you are a believer you already are on the path of Faith because to receive and enjoy the verities of Salvation we have to activate Faith. But we must continue on the path and develop our spirit man by taking every opportunity to imbibe the word of God, grow in truth and act in Faith for every situation big and small.
The West African Faith Believers Convention (WAFBEC) has served to birth a season for a proper approach to Faith and the Faith Walk for every believer, not just in West Africa but throughout the body of Christ. A very significant time has come for us all and we ought to embrace our responsibility to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
We are called to a life of Faith and by grace we will walk by it.

DUBUQUE, IA—Kinseth Hospitality Companies has broke ground on a Toweplace Suites here. Once completed, this all-suite extended stay hotel will provide guests with a fully equipped kitchen and separate areas to work and sleep. Amenities include a complimentary hot breakfast, free WiFi, business center, fitness center, and an indoor pool.
Located at 1151 Washington St., there were nearly 100 guests in attendance including Ben Kinseth, director of operations of Kinseth Hospitality; Molly Grover, CEO of the Dubuque Area Chamber of Commerce; Joyce Connors, councilwoman of the City of Dubuque; and Keith Rahe, president and CEO of Travel Dubuque.
"It's been a long time coming, about four years ago we started thinking about Dubuque in the mindset of extended stay and also realized there wasn't a lot of Marriott hotels in Dubuque," said Ben Kinseth, EVP of Kinseth Hospitality Companies. "The TownePlace Suites seems to be the perfect fit for Dubuque, a perfect size, premium extended stay, and great location in the Millwork District."

Liam used to work for an engineering company, in charge of quality assurance.
One day, Liam was touring the ground to check on his operators. When one of them showed him that the inventory was low, Liam proclaimed that ensuring the supplies was sufficient was not part of his main portfolio, even though he was the only one in the company doing it.
His boss, Azen, of course heard about it and checked with Liam, to confirm that checking and topping up the inventory was not part of his "main portfolio". So that task was reassigned to another colleague of Liam.
On another occasion, the auditors came, and Liam casually told the auditors that handling the auditors is not his "real" job. His main portfolio was in quality assurance and making sure all the parts his factory produced was up-to-mark, not a tour guide.
The auditors took that finding back and Azen was informed about it. Azen, being the ever empathetic boss he was, confirmed with Liam that managing the documents and processes for audits was not congruent to his idea of his "main portfolio" and asked another staff to take over that portfolio.
Such incidents occured for a few times, and duties like taking minutes for the department meetings, organising the company's Dinner and Dance responsibilities were taken away from his job description and reallocated to another staff.
This very day, Liam was on the ground again, and one of his operators showed him 2 products, both with defects that did not exactly fit the criteria for being a defect. They wanted him to make a judgement whether that should still be passed through (and if they don't, should they log this finding as a new defect).
Liam rolled his eyeballs and exclaimed, "If it does not fit the criteria to be a defect, it is not a defect. Why are you even asking me for an opinion like this?"
Of course, Azen heard about this and offered to also remove the task of making the call of whether a product is defective, and offered it to another colleague.
Before sending Liam away, Azen said in a congratulatory tone, "I must say you are a very outstanding staff the company has ever seen! You have progressively shown us that most tasks were redundant and could actually be subsumed under the responsibilities of another staff!"
"In fact, you have effectively made your own post redundant!"
By then, the smile on Liam's face disappeared.
"Since you have delegated all the tasks in your 'main' portfolio to others, and you have no other tasks under your designation, I will have to close that position. And since there is no other vacancy in this company, I will have to let you go, unfortunately!"
"But… oh! I can show the auditors around!" Liam tried in vain. In vain, because Azen said, "Ken, that guy who took over this portfolio is handling it very well, and he needs that extra task for his appraisal."
Liam tried to say some more, but was shown the door by Azen.
"Your tasks in your portfolio were the reason your post had existed. You cherry-picked and tried to push responsibilities away. A company needs someone to complete tasks. Me, the manager, is the one who decides whether the tasks should be under your portfolio."

From IronPython Cookbook
This article aims to provide complete information about how to deploy IronPython scripts to client computers.
Both the IronPython interpreter and runtime are made of Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), meaning that it is bytecode like all .NET programs. Therefore it requires the IronPython binaries and either the .NET Framework 2.0 (Windows) or Mono (*nix). All files from the IronPython distribution are not required to run IronPython scripts on Windows. Therefore the following must be true about the machine.
- Windows
- .NET 2.0 or 3.0 installed
- IronPython binaries exist in the same folder
- ipy.exe
- IronPython.dll
- IronMath.dll
- *nix (Linux, Unix, Macintosh)
- Mono installed
- FePy - IronPython community distribution, includes the CPython library.
For information on how to aquire any of the above please see the Downloads article.
Python Libary
The standard CPython library must be installed on the target machines if the client is a Windows machine and the libary is used. A clear give-away is when the following code exists in any of the python files:
# If this code appears in an IronPython file, the file # requires the standard CPython library to be installed. sys.path.append("C:\\Python24\\Lib")
Please refer to Using the Python Standard Library for more information on when and how the standard Python library is used.
The .NET 3.0 framework is required on the target computer whenever any of the enclosed classes are used. If the author uses the words Windows Communication Foundation (WF), Windows Workflow Foundation (WWF), Windows CardSpace (WCS), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), or XAML then the file is likely to require the .NET Framework 3.0.
Some examples of statements which require .NET 3.0:
# If any of the following statements exist within an IronPython file, # it requires the .NET 3.0 framework to be installed. clr.AddReference("PresentationCore") # WPF # To be appended: # references for WCF, WCF, WWF
File Associations
File associations can be created so that whenever a .py script is double-clicked, it will call the IronPython interpreter. You should think twice about modifying any file associations if the standard CPython library has been installed as you may break some standard Python programs.
You can set up file associations in Windows XP by following these instructions:
- Double-click "My Computer" on the desktop.
- Click on the "Tools" menu.
- Click the "Folder Options" menu item.
- Click the "File Types" tab, it may take a few moments to load.
- Scroll down to the "PY" extension...
- If it does not exist then you can add it to the list by hitting the "New" button.
- If an association already exists then click the "Change" button to change it.
- If you want to right-click and choose "Run" then click the "Advanced" button.
- In any case point the extension to the "ipy.exe" IronPython interpreter.

Theft is a violation of the spirit
The neighbors have two big dogs, and one in particular barks all the time.
I actually nicknamed him "Barky the wonder dog" because any little noise, person walking by, or shadow will have him nervous and agitated.
But both dogs were going ballistic.
I went into the living room to look out the window.
Hmmm...a car I don't recognize is in the neighbor's driveway.
One part of me got that flutter in my stomach, what my friend Tracie (who is a black belt and a self-defense instructor) calls "the creep factor".
The other part of me said, "go outside...check it out..."
"No...(creep factor again) it could be dangerous."
"You're being silly. It's 9 o'clock in the morning!"
My mom was resting on the couch (something she NEVER does, by the way), so I didn't want to disturb her by opening the door, the action I probably would have taken had she not been there.
Tracie, again, would call that "a God thing".
In other words, perhaps the end result would not have been positive had I done that.
I ended up opening the garage door to walk out that way (should have gone out the back door...that was my error), but they had just left.
The neighbor came to my door about 15 minutes later, shaking, saying they had been robbed.
Dammit, I knew something was wrong.
I'm not sure if I should be glad or sad that I didn't listen to my intuition.
I was only able to give a vehicle description.
My eyesight is too poor to have id'ed a license plate.
The fact is that in these unsteady economic times, people are desperate.
Add in a drug addiction, and it gets scary.
Too, here in San Diego, housing is so expensive that a lot of the riff raff is being pushed east, toward where I live.
Growing up here, it was a nice area.
Not anymore.
My mom is alone a lot, with poor hearing.
That scares me.
The houses are somewhat isolated, lots of land behind, no houses across the street.
I told her she just can't leave the garage and back gate open anymore.
You just can't anymore...it's a different world.
I found myself tossing and turning last night, nervous of any noise.
Not good.
Our house has been robbed several times too, though it has been years.
When I was in high school, I stayed after school to practice with the swim team, and came home to pulled-out drawers, and stuff on the floor of the living room, waiting to be taken.
Evidently I scared them off.
I was naive and confused, and called my brother, who told me, "Um, get outta the house!"
Oh. Yeah.
Anyway, that was interesting.
I can't fathom stealing from anyone for any reason.
I wish more people felt the same way.

On the album cover of Wavves' fifth album, V, a man hides his face behind his cape as he mourns over three spilt goblets of wine. In tarot, the five of cups signifies difficulty in loss. It's the card of self-pity, urging the interpreter to look at the bridge over troubled water and at the two full cups behind him. The card serves as the thematic figurehead for the album as it flirts constantly between the cusp of an emotional breakdown and a "dude, it's fine" credence. The band continues to extrapolate on the anxiety and fear laced through their previous releases a la "Nine is God" and "Afraid of Heights", but V as a whole is even more insular. It's just lead singer Nathan Williams and his anxiety here, and he's not shy about sharing.
This summer, after releasing No Life for Me, a solid collaboration with Cleveland punk jam-band Cloud Nothings, Williams, a beacon of ambition, sought to release "Way Too Much", a single off of the new album, on SoundCloud — without Warner Brothers' okay. In a largely one-sided Twitter fight, Williams slammed the major label, threatening to leak the entire album if they didn't let him share the single with his fans:
"Its nauseating tbh i spend 365 days a year in a studio making songs and ppl at warner still think they are gonna call the shots on my art."
"Listen to the music. do you like the music? we worked hard on it. what did warner do? they heard it once and tried to make edits. I said no."
"You don't scare me. Im not scared of getting dropped or sued by u so what do u have? @wbr"
Although Warner didn't reply publicly, they did respond, and William's grumbling resulted in a win. "Way Too Much" stayed online and the album dropped on October 2nd as planned.
The album itself, like Wavves' previous work, incorporates noise music but now more subtly than ever, smoothed-over with Blink-182 chord progressions and studio additives like tambourine. Yet there's still a brattiness in Williams that evokes a Tom Delonge that wasn't lost to aliens and Angels and Airwaves. Williams isn't attempting to be taken seriously here, and he isn't trying to reinvent the wheel — but somehow he produces an album that is both egotistical and self-conscious at the same time, ramming through the album shouting hook after hook until it feels like all the cups on the cover are knocked over. In fact, there's a youthful pessimism here that's so apt for Williams' generation that it makes your face and knees sting because you know, like Williams, you probably have to pick yourself up after falling out of your job, out of confidence, out of love. You have to tell yourself everything is okay even though it isn't and with some bad luck, like the rainy car crash in "All The Same", it's even more of a struggle to be optimistic. Every song on the album is a fight song for violently anxious, self-consumed 20-somethings who are feeling pretty down-and-out about pretty much everything.
"Way Too Much" is lyrically existentialist as Williams is "always thinking too much." Many of the songs here are about sensory overload, seeking refuge from reality and the opinions of others; as a whole, V reads like a Sartre novel. It's a modern day existentialist rock opera where the main character realizes that nothing will ever be the same as it was the day before. Yet, despite the dark subject matter, Wavves is bouncier, more melodic and captivating than ever before. Running just slightly over 30 minutes, the album packs a poppy punch. Yet though its tangibly more up-tempo than previous LPs, it's by no means more upbeat.
At times, V is gruesome and assaulting, reminiscent of Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr., but those moments don't last long, and even the lyrics are direct but vague. There is no lingering on this record, each song clocking in under the four-minute mark. It's enough to make one wonder about how much of a say Warner Bros at least tried to have on the finished product, and it will be interesting to see if Wavves decides to stick it out with the major after V. No wonder the album is a void of disillusionment. Can you imagine recording tapes off an old computer in your parent's house at twenty-one just-for-kicks between skateboarding and blogging and wallowing in young adulthood, only to suddenly find yourself famous (and notorious), then just a few years later, signing to Fat Possum and then Warner Bros? It's a sobering thought for an album full of them.

Similar to other classmates, the biggest challenge I'm facing in the writing process is balancing the time needed to engage fully with my research question and the actual time available to do just that. The bibliographic essay was beneficial in this regard in that I was able to get a nice jumpstart to my research and confirm the availability of evidence to support my claims and reasoning. The essay also exposed some not so great sources early enough to locate suitable replacements.
Our assigned readings from Craft of Research have given legitimate guidance in organizing thoughts as well as prepping a plan to tackle this paper. It's also a nice feeling to read that I am supposed to be feeling anxiety about this paper and that many experienced writers feel the same. It's been daunting to keep that crippling sense of being overwhelmed at bay.
One challenge I'm finding is that I've been unable to turn-up counter arguments to my claim on B. Kingsolver's work specific to Prodigal Summer, my chosen work of art. It seems an important part of a paper according to Craft of Research to acknowledge opinions and claims counter to those I support and I wonder how this might affect my argument. Outside of Heise's critique on a prior Kingsolver work for a lack of transnational application, I seem to only be finding support for my claims (which seems like a really good problem to have). Fortunately, there is still time to locate something acceptable in this regard.

Comet Press's latest venture, issue #1 of the magazine Red Room, is very much like a cocktail party: you meet a number of interesting people, some of whom you might've heard of before; you eat a few hors d'oeuvres, some of which you like more than others; and you go home after a couple hours, hoping you get invited again. Despite the title and description, Red Room isn't terribly heavy or challenging, and yet it's still a lot of fun.
The horror stories range from the mildly amusing to the thought-provoking. Nick Manzolillo's Phantom Video Stream makes it to the latter category, though it doesn't go quite as far as one would like in a magazine of "extreme horror." Are You Crazy? by Tim Waggoner uses the 2nd-person present perspective to bring the scares, which is a bit gimmicky, but works until it doesn't. Larry Hinkle's Meat Cute is a flash fiction piece that you might find funny. Josh Scott Wilson's Sick Jokes lives up to its title and more, particularly if you've got a hard-on for the wealthy.
Those of you who believe that there are more than two genders, as well as anyone who views The Handmaid's Tale as a cautionary tale of America's terrible slide into a repressive, misogynistic theocracy, will appreciate Randy Chandler's interview with Meg Elison, who has a story in Red Room titled The Middle Child.
For dark crime fans, there's Tom Barlow's disturbing, hilarious Selfie, which is arguably the best story in the magazine. David James Keaton's The Flowery feels like a long wind-up to a slow pitch. Megan's Law by Jack Ketchum is the story that stays with you long after you put the magazine down to get some fresh air.
The interview with Gil Valle, the so-called Cannibal Cop, is a disquieting piece that tells a tale of injustice and biased journalism; if you're not a little bit upset after reading it, there's probably something wrong with you. Of course, if you're reading Red Room, let alone reviews of Red Room, you're likely a little bit off anyway. There's also an excerpt of Valle's first novel, A Gathering of Evil.
Other non-fiction pieces include Duane Bradley's article To Deprave & Corrupt, which one-sidedly describes the arrival of extreme horror in VHS form to England in the 1980's, and efforts to suppress it. Ben Arzate reviews Ken Greenhall's 1977 novel Hell Hound, which put the book on my must-read list right there and then. For movie reviews, Patrick King takes a closer look at the independent horror film A Dark Song (yup, gonna have to see that one). Barfly Bob's Highballs and Lowballs describes drinks that you'd have to be nuts to want to be in the same bar with, let alone pour down your gullet. Brian J. McCarthy, who I assume is being paid by the comma, takes a satirical trip to Comet Press's nonexistent west coast office in The Rogue Report, with bizarre results.
Across the board, Red Room is a fine piece of work, a welcome addition to the horror/dark crime genre. I doubt it's a coincidence that the bound fellow on the cover resembles Comet's Randy Chandler, and if it is him, I pray they let him down for issue #2.

Staff Reporter
ZIMBABWEAN rapper Mbasi Nation has promised to transform the hip hop industry and make it more entertaining through a diversity of languages.
Mbasi Nation, real name Simba Muneri sings in English, Shona, Ndebele, Zulu and Xhosa and has recorded more than 30 demo tracks with a few songs being played on local radio and in South Africa.
The youthful rapper said it was time for people to be exposed to local hip hop sang in different languages, a move which he said can expand and increase hip-hop and its followers in Zimbabwe.
Mbasi Nation who has relocated to Harare from Bulawayo after having stayed and recorded most of his music in South Africa, said he was looking forward to work with local hip hop artists in his upcoming project.
He however narrated how his music journey started and what he is working on doing to revolutionize the industry.
"I was born in Kadoma and went to Bulawayo but I started singing when I was young. It has been a long journey. I listened to Keith Sweat, Joe Thomas, Jay Z and DMX among others and as I grew I started listening to Mandoza, Zola, Blacksmith Mambazo from South Africa so I am a hip hop artist and I rap in Zulu since I grew up in South Africa.
"So far I have 30 demo tracks that I need to use and I am looking forward to work with some local artists. I want to work with bigger artists in the industry so for now I am bit underground but any time I will be blowing it up. As a hip hop artist I am looking at working with artists like T Gonzi, Takura, Calvin and Abakhuluma Boyz from Bulawayo but I am looking forward to feature someone who is big in the industry," he said.
Mbasi Nation said he was working with popular urban groover, Roqui, real name Rockford Josphats on a project that will take the hip hop industry by storm.
"So far I am working with Roqui on a project that I will not talk about now, but Roqui and I are always working together. I have various tracks like Ola-Ola, Manga Manga Business and Xini Bane Lights Off which have been played on local radios and in South Africa but I am still pushing because I know one day I will be number one on the chats.
"I am working on many tracks and I am somebody who can just pop it out and do my thing anytime. I am a hip hop artist but I can sing on any beat and rip it off so I am ready for anything. I am coming with something different in the hip hop industry, something straight from Bulawayo to Harare so I am going to blow it up anytime," he said
