LONDON — Britain and the YouTube-watching world is fretting over the pressure being piled on a Scottish songstress as her final test approaches.
Susan Boyle's big finale in a TV talent show contest won't come until Saturday. But the country is buzzing with concern over whether the 48-year-old church volunteer's nerves will rob her of the victory many feel she deserves.
"Britain's Got Talent," the venue for Boyle's unlikely success, did nothing to dampen the hysteria, with one judge going on national television to say Boyle was so upset by the superheated media coverage she had packed her bags and threatened to quit.
But on Friday her spokeswoman confirmed the final would go ahead as planned.
Boyle became a favourite to win the competition almost immediately after her first appearance, early last month. Her frumpy appearance drew looks of disbelief from the television audience, but her voice silenced the doubters — and turned her into an Internet star.
Her life story — she cared for her widowed mother for years and said she'd never been kissed — also helped win over the world's media.
Boyle has not performed since Sunday, when she made it through to the finals. But that hasn't kept her off Britain's front pages: "Boyling Point," was the Daily Mirror's headline Friday. "Susan Axe Threat," claimed The Sun. "Fears For TV Talent Star Susan," the Daily Express warned.
Concerns have been sparked by reports of erratic behaviour. Boyle lost her cool after being harassed by a pair of journalists outside her London hotel Wednesday, her spokeswoman said, speaking on condition of anonymity because she represents all the contestants.
Earlier, a media report claimed that witnesses saw Boyle make an obscene gesture at a hotel television set when judge Piers Morgan lavished praise on fellow contestant Shaheen Jafargholi, 12, during another semifinal broadcast.
Morgan, himself a former tabloid editor, took to the airwaves and the Internet to defend the singer.
"Susan Boyle has never experienced anything like this and is like a frightened rabbit in headlights," Morgan wrote on his blog Thursday. "I am calling today for everyone to just give her a break."
Others in the media raised concerns that Boyle, who had learning difficulties when she was younger and was bullied by other children, was in for a ride too rough for her to handle.
• • •
The performance finale of "Britain's Got Talent" will air live on British TV Saturday from 3:20-4:50 p.m. EDT. The winner will be declared Sunday on the program airing 3:30-5 p.m. EDT.
But unless you live in the United Kingdom or have an especially fancy satellite hookup, your options to watching are essentially limited to the Internet.
— YOUTUBE: It's been good enough for more than 60 million viewers thus far. Videos of Boyle's performance will be uploaded both by the show and by users immediately afterward.
— THE OFFICIAL WEB SITE: Videos will also rapidly be posted at: http://talent.itv.com/
— HOP A FLIGHT TO LONDON: It will be easy to find there. Ratings have shown that half of those watching TV at the time of "Britain's Got Talent" in the U.K. have been tuning into the show. Last minute round-trip flights from New York to London were starting upwards of $1,000 as of Thursday night.

CCC seizes key documents in council outsourcing probe
Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission has seized key documents relating to a controversial outsourcing deal between Moreton Bay Regional Council and an events company run by a financial backer of mayor Allan Sutherland, as part of a wide-ranging investigation.
The CCC obtained service level agreements, a form of contract, between the council and Moreton Bay Region Industry and Tourism, regarding a deal worth more than $20 million, the council's biggest single procurement.
Brisbane Times revealed in September that the CCC was investigating the circumstances surrounding the May 2018 renewal and extension of the MBRIT deal.
That decision was delegated to the council chief executive after more than half the councillors declared minor "perceived conflicts of interest" because of their friendship with MBRIT boss Shane Newcombe or because they had attended his wedding the previous week.
The CCC's seizure of the contract documents indicates the crime-fighting body is also examining the controversial origins of the deal two years earlier, when almost all of the council's events activities were handed to Mr Newcombe's company without a tender.
No councillors declared interests at the vote to award the initial contract in May 2016. This was despite the mayor and other councillors having benefited from financial donations Mr Newcombe's family company, Newcombes Holdings, made during the local elections two months earlier, as well as during the 2012 elections.
Newcombes Holdings is run by Mr Newcombe's mother, Marlene. Mr Newcombe has been a director of the company since 2008 and has previously described himself as managing director of its main business, car dealership Village Motors.
The Newcombes Holdings donations were made to Moreton Futures Trust, Cr Sutherland's election-funding vehicle, which also assisted other councillors.
Councillor Peter Flannery chairs the committee responsible for the MBRIT deal. He told Brisbane Times in 2018 that Cr Sutherland had reassured him and other councillors prior to the awarding of the initial MBRIT contract in 2016 they need not worry about a conflict based on relationships with Mr Newcombe, "because Shane Newcombe's business is separate from his mother's business".
Documents obtained by Brisbane Times show the 2016 service level agreement, which sets the performance expectations of the MBRIT deal, was authored by Mr Newcombe.
A former council procurement manager has described this arrangement as "extraordinary … against anything I've ever heard of in terms of procurement and contract management".
Witnesses have told the CCC that council officers had difficulty obtaining reports from MBRIT on its performance as set out in the contract. Investigators have also sought information on MBRIT's capacity to deliver the events at the time of winning the contract.
MBRIT and Mr Newcombe did not respond to questions.
Moreton Bay Regional Council did not respond to or acknowledge questions. It has previously declined to comment citing the CCC investigation.
Queensland local government rules require all councils to publish details of contracts worth more than $200,000 and the MBRIT deal appeared prominently on the Moreton Bay Regional Council's "Awarded Tenders" website until September 2018.
However, the council then removed the information, without explanation.
The CCC's move on the MBRIT contracts was revealed after Brisbane Times attempted to obtain the documents using right to information laws.
Council provided documents but almost entirely redacted them, on the grounds that to reveal the contents would be a "breach of confidence". Brisbane Times asked the Office of the Information Commissioner to review this decision.
The OIC asked the council whether another ground for non-disclosure might be that the documents were the subject of a law enforcement investigation, at which point the council revealed they had been seized by the CCC.
The CCC has not revealed details of the scope of its investigation but witness statements obtained by Brisbane Times show it has sought evidence on the origin of the MBRIT deal, among a range of issues it is probing at the council.
Council whistleblowers have revealed the mayor and a group of councillors, all of whom benefited from financial support from Newcombes Holdings, secretly coached Mr Newcombe on how to persuade other councillors to vote for the outsourcing deal in 2016.
Witnesses have told investigators Mr Newcombe boasted he knew he would win the events contract because of the Newcombes Holdings donation to Cr Sutherland's campaign.
Mark Solomons is an investigative journalist for Brisbane Times.

IPCC plebgate questions dramatically raise the stakes in this stand-off between politicians and police
In questioning the "honesty and integrity" of three police officers who met the Conservative MP Andrew Mitchell over the "plebgate" row - the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has dramatically raised the stakes in this stand-off between the politicians and the police.
The meeting happened in Andrew Mitchell's constituency at a time when the former Cabinet Minister was facing accusations that he called police at the gates of Downing Street "f---ing plebs" and "f---ing morons".
He later resigned from his position as Tory chief whip - despite continuing to deny the allegations.
Mr Mitchell met three Police Federation representatives on 12th October last year but the officers have since faced claims they lied about what they were told in that meeting.
The Deputy Chair of the IPCC, Deborah Glass, today concluded that she disagreed with the findings of an investigation by West Mercia Police - which found the officers had no case to answer for misconduct.
She said:
The allegation against the officers is that they deliberately misrepresented what Mr Mitchell had said during a meeting in his constituency office on 12 October 2012 when they gave media interviews immediately afterwards.
She added: "Their motive seems plain: they were running a successful, high profile, anti-cuts campaign and the account that he provided to them did not fit with their agenda."
And concluded: "In my opinion the evidence indicates an issue of honesty and integrity, not merely naïve or poor professional judgment."
In response Andrew Mitchell said:
It is a decision which will undermine confidence in the ability of the police to investigate misconduct when the reputation of the police service as a whole is at stake.
The Home Secretary Theresa May has also added her voice the controversy. She told the Home Affairs Select Committee this afternoon that it was "quite wrong" of West Mercia Police not to take disciplinary proceedings against the three officers.
Mrs May said: "The IPCC statement makes troubling reading. If it is indeed the case that warranted police officers behaved in the way Deborah Glass has described, that's not acceptable at all."
Asked if the chief constable of West Mercia Police should apologise to Mr Mitchell, Mrs May said: "I think that would be appropriate."
The criminal inquiry into the original altercation at the gates of Downing Street remains with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).
Andrew Mitchell admits he told police that "you lot were supposed to be f---ing helping us" but he claims police officers later falsified their notes.
The CPS is having to decide whether there is enough evidence to push for criminal proceedings against the Metropolitan Police officers involved.
Five serving police officers are among the eight people who have been arrested under the investigation known as "Operation Alice".

Review: Black Hammer Giant-Sized Annual
Illustrated by an all-star slate of guest artists, this oversized anthology issue features five Black Hammer stories from Jeff Lemire, each focusing on one of the stranded heroes. See how Dustin Nguyen, Emi Lenox, Nate Powell, Matt Kindt, and Ray Fawkes take on tales about Abraham Slam, Golden Gail, Colonel Weird, Barbalien, and Madame Dragonfly.
Like the rest of the Black Hammer series, this giant-sized annual combines both past and present with a great mix of stories. Unlike previous issues, the focus in this issue is much broader and event stranger. All of the stories are well told, through shifting artists that's a who's who. That shift of artists and style manages to distinguish each miniature tale well yet it all still blends together into one larger narrative.
Each of the six artists chosen brings their own unique style to the mini-story they tell. Picking one to that stands out above the others is impossible, the talent is so top notch and it's all so impressive. Rating the art as a collective whole is a challenge as well, due to the shifting styles and artists.

Background: Growth hormone (GH) replacement as daily s.c. injections for patients with adults with GH deficiency (AGHD) can be cumbersome. Somapacitan (Novo Nordisk), a once-weekly reversible albumin-binding GH derivative, has been shown in short-term trials to be well tolerated in healthy adults and in patients with AGHD.
Objective and hypotheses: This trial was a multinational, multicentre, randomised (2:1), open-label, active-controlled trial (NCT02382939; REAL 2) investigating the safety, tolerability and treatment satisfaction of once-weekly somapacitan versus once-daily hGH (human GH; somatropin) in patients with AGHD.
Method: Ninety-two patients (diagnosed with AGHD, previously treated with somatropin for ≥6 months, male or female, aged 1879 years) were randomised to once-weekly somapacitan or once-daily somatropin. During the first 8 weeks, somapacitan and somatropin doses were titrated according to serum insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) SDS levels in order to achieve IGF-I levels within the normal range and preferably between 0 and 2 SDS; a fixed dose was received for the remaining 18-week period. Treatment satisfaction was assessed using the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication-9.
Results: A similar pattern and rate of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs was observed with the two treatments. The most frequently occurring AEs for somapacitan and somatropin were nasopharyngitis, headache and fatigue. Mild and transient injection site reactions were observed only in the somapacitan group. After dose titration, the IGF-I levels were maintained in both treatment groups. No anti-somapacitan or anti-hGH antibodies were detected. A statistically significant difference between treatment arms in convenience score was observed with once-weekly somapacitan being more convenient than once-daily somatropin. Effectiveness and global satisfactions scores were similar in both groups.
Conclusion: Somapacitan was well tolerated and no safety issues were identified. These data indicate that somapacitan may serve as a well-tolerated, once-weekly treatment for AGHD and be more convenient than once-daily treatment.

Splashing water on his face from the sink, in the mirror he pulls up his hood,
This poem brought me to tears because ii lost my best friend to gang violence. it just reminded me of how ugly the world can be sometimes.but then again everything happens for a reason. Great poem =)
by Annaam
Oh wow wow...!! This poem is verryy well-wriiten... And extremely sad!! I love the way u manage to tell different stories in just this one poem so very captivatingly.... I'm srsly speechless!! :)
by ether
In all honesty, this is amazing.
by Sole
Wow. Honestly, I thought some of the rhymes were off, and the flow didn't fit throughout. But the way you wrote the poem, first from the view of the teen and then the boy. It really was an incredibly emotional poem. Using simple words, 'Bang' and the talk of the gangs, rather than complicated vocabulary and riddled lines meant that the full power and impact of the poem was blunt, and incredibly strong.
I don't much like the style of poem you've chosen, your wording is ok. I find it to be quite descriptive but not enough feeling put into it. Nothing special. 3/5

The 9 types of beach cricketer
Author: The Simple Bit
Category: Short Cuts
We're heading into Beach Cricket season, where (probably) millions of us will take to the sandy crease. But with all of those players can be boiled down to 9 types. So which one are you? The Nightwatchman? The Peacock? The Druncle?
The simple bits:
- Beach cricket is the purest form of the game
- Don't argue with us, it just is
- There are 9 beach cricket types
- Which one are you?
Some would say that the purest form of cricket is the five-day game. They'd be wrong.
The purest form of cricket is played with a tennis ball half-wrapped in electrical tape with that old Gunn & Moore bat you got for your eleventh birthday – the one that you lovingly knocked in sitting in front of Home & Away and is now more bog than wood. For the millions of Aussies who take to the sand every summer to have a bash, there are only nine types of player. Which one are you?
1. The Serious Dad
Serious Dad is here to win. Serious Dad pulls no punches, bowls no slow balls and makes no allowances for the size or still-developing gross motor skills of his offspring. Serious Dad knows that you don't do anyone any favours by going soft on them. In his prime, Serious Dad was probably a Second XI tail-ender at best, and now is his time to make up for being unfairly overlooked. Tell you what though: he sledges at an international level.
2. The Peacock
AKA the Human Highlight Reel, The Peacock is only interested in doing something if it's spectacular. No quick singles for The Peacock. Two hands on the ball is one hand too many. The Peacock's favoured fielding position is right on the waterline, where their leaps for epic catches will end in a satisfying splash. The Peacock will retire to the pavilion early, shortly after being called on to bowl. There are only so many 50m run-ups a player has in them.
3. The Liability
The scientific community is divided as to whether The Liability is a species of Serious Dad or in fact belongs to its own genus. The Liability is distinguished by his or her talent for catastrophe – their ability to let their enthusiasm get the better of them and cause damage to person and property. Most dangerous at bat, The Liability specialises in delivering a straight drive to the old clackers, but is equally adept at destroying picnic lunches, bowling Douglas Jardine-style bodyline and tripping over sunbathers in the field.
Keep The Liability's wicket from a safe distance.
4. The Nightwatchman
The Nightwatchman is the anti-peacock. He or she has only one card in their hand and will play it relentlessly: the block. They will block. And block. And block. And continue to block until you hate them, you hate cricket, you hate the beach and you hate even the idea of sport.
5. The Druncle
Here comes trouble! Life's not meant to be taken too seriously. Look how chilled out The Druncle is! He's holding a beer! While playing sport! What a larrikin! The Druncle's novelty t-shirt says "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me that a frontal lobotomy". Unfortunately, it may be too late.
6. The Daydream Believer
In an ideal world, the Daydream Believer wouldn't even be at the beach, but now that they're here they would like to be left alone in the shade with their book or device and you could refrain from talking to them and please keep the sand away that'd be great. K Thx Bai.
But here they are, forced to participate in team sportsball, most likely by a Serious Dad, and they are determined to do the bare minimum. Their greatest fear is that a ball might come their way and that they might catch it, which would mean they end up at the crease, so they "field" as far from the action as possible.
7. The 13th Man
Whilst The Peacock and The Serious Dad like a spot of beach cricket because it gives them the chance to live out their dreams of sporting glory, The 13th Man is living out a fantasy of a different stripe. The 13th Man wants to be a commentator.
The 13th Man is the beach version of that guy who turns up to the costume party as Austin Powers so he can cover up his inability to hold a normal human conversation by describing everything as "Groovy Baby" for the entire evening.
He or she will piece together the running commentary of the entire game entirely from hilarious outtakes of all six 12th Man albums. He or she will take it extremely personally if you do not laugh at the appropriate times.
8. The Stickler
The rules are there for a reason. They're there so we can all have a good time. And just because we're all at the beach, relaxing, "enjoying ourselves" doesn't make them any less important. That was a clear LBW and the umpire's decision is final. Don't turn on the waterworks. That might work at kinder, but it won't get you anywhere with me.
9. The Doggo
The doggo was not invited, but is going to play anyway. The doggo is an extremely good boy. The doggo will never ask to bat or bowl, and he will always go after the runaway ball. The doggo is the best.

Going Skiing? Got the Right Travel Insurance?
Sheridon Cunningham | 13 December 2016
If you're heading on a skiing holiday, travel insurance is a must, but it's just as important to have the right type of travel insurance for you, and all the ski or snowboard activities you're planning to participate in.
Like on a summer holiday, when you're off on a ski trip you're going to need the standard insurance to cover cancelling your trip due to illness, losing your luggage and any unexpected medical expenses. However, you'll also need insurance that protects you in case you have any accidents on the slopes, commonly known as winter sports cover.
Winter sports insurance often includes different levels of cover, and not all policies will protect you during all on and off-piste activities. There can also be policy clauses that limit the number of days covered on a ski trip. To ensure you can enjoy your ski trip, safe in the knowledge that you're protected should anything go wrong it is beneficial to speak to specialist Snowsports insurers.
Amongst the specialist Snowsports travel insurance companies, ERV, or Europäische Reiseversicherung cover a range of activities from skiing to leisure or even backpacking, for single or annual trips. As the winners of the World Snow Awards Best Specialist Insurer, SnowSure spoke to ERV's Customer Service Manager, Sheridon Cunningham to find out how to make sure all holiday Snowsports fun is covered.
1. Know Your Ski Trip
"Smart thinking before your ski trip is definitely the order of the day, so before you hit the slopes, pause for a moment to consider the type of boarding or skiing you intend to do and where you intend to go.
First time skier? Well you'll probably want to keep to the groomed slopes, but if you're a seasoned skier or just feeling adventurous, you may want to go off-piste without a guide or even freestyle in the resort parks. Without a policy that includes all these activities you may not be covered in the event of injury, so it's really important to match your anticipated level of skiing with the correct cover."
2. Find The Right Travel Insurance Policy
"Once you've identified the activities you plan to participate in on your ski trip, find the right insurer and cover for your trip and ask the insurance company for advice. Make sure you're not about to make any of these common Snowsports travel insurance mistakes;
- - Not purchasing correct cover for boarding / skiing ability
- - Not purchasing cover prior to leaving UK
- - Not declaring pre-existing medical conditions
- - Purchasing an annual multi trip that covers up to 31 days max length of trip when you really need a single trip with 3 months unbroken cover
- - Forgetting to take policy documents (policy wording / schedule of travel) containing emergency assistance number on trip"
3. Check The Travel Insurance Cover & Exclusions
"Once you've found a winter sports travel insurance, read through the policy wording. ERV has clear, uncomplicated wording, but if in doubt, contact one of our dedicated ski team members. They have great product knowledge and are always happy to assist in identifying the right cover for your trip.
The following common ski resort activities may not be covered on a standard winter sports travel insurance policy. So, if you're planning on giving any of them a try you'll need a policy that covers them.
- - Off-piste skiing or boarding without a guide
- - Freestyling in a resort park
- - Heli-skiing
- - Ski touring
- - Ski racing or freestyle competition
- - Bobsleighing"
ERV offer an SOS card (Safety on Snow card) that could give you that extra peace of mind on the slopes. In an emergency medical situation, the card could provide for a cashless transaction at the hospital. Visit www.erv.co.uk or contact ERV via their social media pages for more details.

This week's review of the top multifamily news stories starts off with a look at the rise of amenities aimed at making everyday life easier for older renters seeking to age in place. As covered in a recent Arbor webinar on senior housing trends, ride sharing services and grocery deliveries are enabling older renters to remain comfortable in an independent living setting longer than ever before. We'll also examine the Top 10 markets for rent growth year-over-year as of May courtesy of Yardi Matrix data, learn about the relationship between small apartments and workforce housing affordability, and get a view of a future with human-free, drone-operated construction sites.
Rise of Aging-in-Place Amenities in Multifamily
via Property Management Insider – July 6, 2017
"While apartment designers have splashed on the amenities to attract younger renters, home builders and remodelers are placing more emphasis on simple functionality so older residents can get around their habitats easier for years to come."
Top 10 Markets for Rent Growth
via Multi-Housing News – June 29, 2017
"Here are the 10 markets that, despite the nationwide trend of deceleration, have had the greatest year-over-year rent growth as of May 2017."
The Role of Small Apartment Properties in Workforce Housing Affordability
via ALEX Chatter – July 7, 2017
"The growing lack of affordability within U.S. rental housing has led to the creation of new loan programs aimed at strengthening and preserving the existing stock of multifamily that's affordable for the workforce. It turns that a large portion of housing suitable for the workforce is found in smaller apartment properties."
Expect Human-Free Drone-Operated Construction Sites by 2050
via Bisnow – July 6, 2017
"Unlike industrial automation, where machines do the work for humans — resulting in the elimination of jobs — smart tech and remote-operated machinery will still require human operators behind-the-scenes to teach the tech the nuances of construction work."
3 Strategies for Maximizing Resident Satisfaction
via Multifamily Executive – July 6, 2017
"To stay competitive, owner–operators must have a strategy for constantly incorporating new amenities, providing top-of-the-line service, and maintaining a strong sense of community for their residents."

Foreign investment into Berlin's office market increased 160 percent in the first half of the year, driven by interest in the city's long-term growth prospects.
The German capital received a significant increase in global investment in the first six months of 2019, with around 70 percent of the total US$5.0 billion invested originating from outside Germany.
"This is foreign capital looking at Berlin, comparing it to other opportunities around the world and believing in the city's overall growth prospects," says Pranav Sethuraman, from JLL global capital markets research.
Despite tight yields of as low as three percent, global heavyweight managers, as well as European investors, are ploughing capital into Berlin. BlackRock invested EUR116 million into an office project in the city's Kreuzberg district, while Google bought an office for its own use in the city centre. Cording Capital and Meyer Bergman have also all invested in Berlin this year, joining the likes of Blackstone and Italy's Generali/Poste Vita joint venture.
Capital from a range of sources is looking for opportunities in the city, says Rüdiger Thräne, regional manager at JLL Berlin. But finding product to satisfy investment demand – particularly for large, single assets – is proving to be a challenge.
"Most investors looking at Berlin are seeking core assets in prime locations. However, there is opportunity in so-called 'B' areas a little off the beaten track," he says, pointing to areas such as Spandau, where a major new industrial and technology hub is being developed by Siemens.
With Berlin having already surpassed last year's total cross-border investment volume, the city's ability to finish the year in a similar fashion will depend on the availability of stock.
Fundamental drivers
Much of the supply shortage is down to the city's booming population, which is expected to rise 7.5 percent by 2030 to total 3.8 million.
"The demographics are promising, with employment opportunities for young professionals in both major firms and start-ups," says Sethuraman. "Supply simply can't keep up with demand."
And while investors are struggling to find product, the same can also be said for companies looking for office space, says Thräne, pointing to vacancy of just one percent in the German capital.
"There's around 900,000 square metres of office space in the pipeline between now and 2020, but half of that has already been pre-let. Choice is limited."
With prime rents having risen from 22 to 35 euros per-square-metre since 2013, there is expectation that rents will rise by more than 10 percent in the coming years.
Major employers in the ascendancy are boosting Berlin's appeal to young professionals, Thräne explains.
"Berlin is a strong headquarter base for a growing number of new firms," he says, adding that it wasn't so long ago that Berlin was playing catch up with other German cities.
As well as blue-chip, domestic names such as Volkswagen and Lufthansa, Berlin has also drawn in Google, Nike and Sony Music, while newcomers such as online bank N26 and Germany's online fashion retailer Zalando, expand their businesses.
"Opportunities may be increasingly hard to find in the coming months," says Sethuraman. "But global investors will continue to favour Berlin for its long-term credentials."

Vanderbil Grace Hotel, Newport, RI, AYUSA
Experience with agency AYUSA was positive.
I'm pretty satisfied with the agency, all they said, they complied with, always ready to answer all your questions, you will have a lot of them , especially if you are traveling first time and alone like I did :) i had a very good offer for business, warmly recommend it to everyone.
Experience with location Newport, RI was positive.
A little town with a million bars and restaurants, where you'll be better for the first time in the USA in :) The good thing about Newport is that there is a very big chance to find extra work in particular related to catering, servers, housekeeper, and the city can not say more less bourgeois so the earn was very good. On one side of town is beach, on other are yacht tricked into bars on all sides, all in all beautiful! As for shopping there is something like a shopping center nearby where you can find really cheap stuff, I bought a suitcase full of new cloth :) From major cities to Boston's hour and a half by car, so it is always a good option to go shopping and there in a along the way and visit the city that is in my opinion one of the most beautiful cities I've ever seen in America. The downside is that accommodation is quite expensive, but if you try, and here you can very well pass. I met my roommates in the hotel where I worked, the five of us lived in a three-room apartment, paid $ 240 per month, which is an understatement for nothing compared to how much earning ...
Experience with employer Vanderbil Grace Hotel
was positive.
Hours : 6.75 Hours per week: 35-40 Average tip : 250-400 a week I've served breakfast and lunch , so we shift lasted from 6-8 pm in July and August when the season sometimes up to 10h . In the beginning, before I used to speak fluent English and learned by heart considers mainly the job boils down to setting up the tables , harboring dirty dishes , polishing time , etc. mainly includes everything backserving . Later, the job does not differ much from the work they do - servers taking orders , chat with guests , room service ... honestly quite hard work because the hotel the whole year was really crowded , but worth it ... In addition, I had a very good team , which I think is very important in order not to izdeprimirali at the outset : D
This review represents personal opinion of Sanja who was participating Work & Travel program in year of 2014 with agency AYUSA, working at Vanderbil Grace Hotel in Newport, RI.

by Laura Backes, Publisher, Children's Book Insider, the Newsletter for Children's Writers
Editors always plead with authors to research the market before submitting manuscripts. This makes sense--it cuts down on the number of inappropriate submissions an editor may receive, and presumably will lower the chance of a manuscript getting rejected. But how, exactly, does one research a market that produces thousands of new products each year? I suggest a systematic, three-part approach which works for book and magazine publishers. This involves studying a publisher's overall list, individual books or issues, and their writers' guidelines. It doesn't matter which part you do first as long as you cover all three. (Note: Illustrators can use this same system to research potential illustration markets and then send for artists' guidelines.)
* Overall lists.
Book publishers have two lists: spring and fall. A magazine's "list" is comprised of a year's worth of issues. To get a sense of what each publisher does, read industry newsletters such as CBI, attend writers' conferences, and consult Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market (published annually by Writer's Digest Books). Note which publishers cater to the audience for whom you want to write, both in age group and subject matter. Send for these publishers' catalogs, generally free for a 9 x 12 self- addressed, stamped envelope with two to four first-class stamps (bigger publishers=bigger catalogs). For magazines, get the most recent issue and then study back issues at the library. Many publishers also have web sites that feature their current lists, though I find it's easier to study and compare material if you have a hard copy.
But what if you receive several catalogs from large publishers and they all look the same? Then it's time to read the fine print and find the differences. Does HarperCollins seem to have an abundance of fiction picture books for ages 5-8? Then they might not be buying much for this age group for the next couple of years. Has another publisher just debuted a line of nonfiction chapter books? Maybe your chapter book on whales is just what they need. Do certain publishing giants tend to repackage classics from known authors rather than books from new writers? Pick another publisher who isn't afraid to feature new talent. Narrow down your number of potential markets.
* Individual books or issues.
Go to a bookstore or library and actually hold books from your potential publishers in your hands. Look at the vocabulary and sentence structure, the style of writing, the pacing of picture book stories. For magazines, note length and subject matter of fiction and the slant on nonfiction topics. Though you don't want your book to be just like someone else's, it must fit in with the overall taste of the editors from each company, and the general tone of a publisher's list. Narrow down your markets once again.
* Writers' guidelines.
Now it's time to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to each publisher asking for writers' guidelines. Follow the submissions procedures in the guidelines exactly. If you submit a manuscript or query letter more than a month after receiving guidelines, call the publisher to verify that they are still open to submissions. Once your manuscript is in the mail, try to put it out of your mind and start writing something else. And be assured that all your research means your work is most likely headed to where it will be eagerly read.

All at Westin Drives were delighted when Danny Ward's second save in the penalty shootout against Sheffield Wednesday sent Huddersfield Town to the Championship play-off final at Wembley.
Our new service centre on St Andrew's Road lies close to the John Smith stadium, home of the Terriers.
So to show our support for a team that has battled brilliantly all season under manager David Wagner, we've created a banner.
Yesterday, Wagner, his players and their families flew to Portugal for a few days of relaxation before they begin preparations for Huddersfield's biggest match for nearly half a century on Monday, May 29.
We send our best wishes and good luck to the Terriers in their match against Reading. Here's to Huddersfield in the Premier League!
Energy savings of 40% achieved after our engineers install new swimming pool pumps
Energy savings of 40 per cent were achieved after Westin Drives engineers installed new pumps in a sports stadium swimming pool.
The stadium company wished to replace the recirculating pumps for its main pool and invited Westin Drives to tender for the work.
The pumps were reaching the end of their life, the casings rusted almost to the point of cracking. Our technical services engineers suggested replacing the old star delta starters with an energy-saving variable speed drive panel. A 33% energy saving was calculated, giving a pay-back period of 14 months on the new panel.
The proposal was accepted and we were pleased to be given the job against stiff competition from other companies.
The old system consisted of three pumps, day (100% flow), night (75% flow) and an emergency spare (50% flow), which had never been used. Westin suggested replacing the old 75% and 50% pumps with variable speed 100% KSB pumps, controlled by the existing BMS. This meant either pump could be used as an emergency spare.
The same coverage was therefore achieved with only two pumps, meaning the job could be done while leaving the old 100% pump running and minimising downtime.
LENZE i550 inverters were used, set up for using their VFC Eco mode, maximising energy efficiency and minimising running temperature of the motors. The system was installed with no issues except that the old 50% isolator failed because of rusting and was replaced.
The new system was running within five working days, with energy savings of approximately 40% achieved.
Westin Drives has taken delivery of six bespoke mobile tool kits for our workshop engineers. This is part of the continuing investment in our new service centre,
They were designed, manufactured and equipped in a partnership between Newey & Eyre, Bahco and Westin Drives and will enhance our ability to deliver top quality repairs to our customers.
A Yorkshire dyeing company that treats fabric for brands like Barbour called on Westin Drives when one of their main lines stopped during production.
The machine refused to restart, with no indication of where the fault lay.
Our engineers Fraser and Connor were just completing the commissioning of an energy-saving pumping system at the Huddersfield stadium when the call was received at 09.30.
The fault was diagnosed to be the cooling fan on the main motor which had failed due to ingress of dust. It was removed and taken to be repaired and refurbished at our Huddersfield service centre.
The motor's bearings had collapsed, causing them to spin in the housings and on the shaft, causing wear damage which needed machining work.
The repair was completed that day, in time for refitting before 5pm, with filters supplied and fitted on air intake ducts to maximise the reliability of the system.
High quality technical training courses at our new service centre in Huddersfield
Westin Drives is now offering training courses in the technical services room of our new service centre in Huddersfield.
Steve Bottomley, our senior technical services engineer, can be seen programming the drives.
We've built the wall to enable us to offer training courses on inverters, PLCs and associated products to customers and staff. It will give course members a chance to acquire the hands-on experience required when a fault occurs in the workplace.
Customers can be confident in the quality of our training as Westin Drives is a LENZE Authorised Performance Partner. As standard procedure, in-house training is also given to members of our team working in this environment. Please contact our Technical Manager, Fraser Lynch, for details of our training courses.

Baker's cyst
A Baker's cyst, also called a popliteal cyst, is a fluid-filled swelling that develops at the back of the knee. It is caused by a problem with the knee joint or the tissue behind it.
The swelling may cause:
- pain in the knee and calf
- a build-up of fluid around the knee
- occasional locking or clicking in the knee joint
However, it may cause no symptoms at all other than the lump.
In rare cases, a Baker's cyst can burst (rupture), causing fluid to leak down into your calf. This can cause sharp pain, swelling and redness in your calf.
What causes a Baker's cyst?
Knee damage caused by a sports-related injury or blow to the knee can lead to a Baker's cyst developing.
A Baker's cyst can also be caused by a number of health conditions, including:
- osteoarthritis – usually caused by age-related "wear and tear" of joints, it particularly affects the knees, hips, hands and big toe
- rheumatoid arthritis – a less common but crippling type of arthritis caused by the immune system attacking the joints
- gout – a type of arthritis that usually affects the big toe caused by a build-up of the waste product uric acid in the blood
A Baker's cyst is more common in women than men, probably because women are more likely to develop osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. It usually develops in people aged over 40, although it can affect people of any age, including children.
When to see your GP
You should see your GP if your cyst causes you problems and does not go away. They can usually diagnose a Baker's cyst by examining your knee and asking about your symptoms.
They will also want to know if you have any associated health conditions, such as arthritis.
Further tests may be recommended to rule out other more serious conditions, such as a tumour or aneurysm (a bulge in a section of a blood vessel). These can include an ultrasound scan or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.
Treating a Baker's cyst
You can reduce the swelling and relieve any pain using over-the-counter painkillers, bandages or an ice pack (a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel works well).
It's important that any underlying condition is properly managed as the cyst may go away when the condition causing it has been treated.
In some cases, surgery may be needed to drain the cyst or to remove it.

Around 22 percent of American adults use marijuana, which means about one out of every four people you know enjoys consuming cannabis now and then. You may be thinking, "Wait, I don't know anyone who uses marijuana! How can that be?" And the answer is, they're hiding it from you.
Civilized teamed up PSB Research to survey 1,000 Americans and 600 Canadians about issues related to marijuana. One of the topics we looked at was cannabis users who hide their consumption from people in their lives. So if you're wondering who's hiding their cannabis use for you, we can now tell you.
The most obvious people hiding their cannabis use from you is your family. About 33 percent of American and Canadian marijuana users say they hide their consumption from their children. 25 percent of Canadians and 20 percent of Americans say they hide it from their parents. And 19 percent of users from both countries say they hide their use from other relatives as well. All together, that's about 70 percent of users who hide their use from some members of their family.
But it's not just your blood relatives who are hiding it from you. If you have neighbors or are the landlord of a building, you probably know someone hiding their cannabis user from you. 30 percent of Americans and 27 percent of Canadian marijuana users say they hide their consumption from neighbors or landlords.
On the bright side, the people you're probably closest to are not likely to be hiding their cannabis consumption. Around 13 or 14 percent of Canadian and American marijuana users say they hide their cannabis use from their friends. And only nine percent of Americans and seven percent of Canadian users said they hide it from their spouse or significant other. Although that may just because they've already gotten caught!
Of course, not everybody is toking up in the shadows. 36 percent of Canadians and 32 percent of American marijuana users say they do not hide their consumption from everyone. Perhaps as marijuana becomes legal in more parts of the United States and the entirety of Canada, the stigma associated with cannabis use will decline and people will be less afraid of what people in their lives think about it.
Also, we didn't ask how many people conceal their marijuana use from law enforcement, but we're going to go ahead and guess that number's pretty close to 100 percent.

Easter Weekend Weather24.03.2016 15:47
With the long weekend edging ever closer it's time to have a look at the expected weather conditions across the UK, and unless you're a fan of the wet and the windy then this may make grim reading. The past few weeks have been remarkably quiet weather-wise with a large area of high pressure stagnant close to or over the UK, in-turn giving dry and settled conditions for many. However, with a strengthening jet stream in the North Atlantic there will be considerably more energy bearing in from the west with deep low pressure systems bringing heavy rain and strong winds at times.
Whilst many areas will get off to a good start on Good Friday as a transient high pressure ridge traverses the UK leading to dry and bright conditions, a low pressure system will be deepening all the while south of Iceland and gradually exerting its influence to north-western parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland. An associated front will give rain and strengthening winds here in the afternoon before edging south-east and affecting the western half of the UK overnight.
By Saturday, this frontal zone will extend across much of the UK, continuing to creep south-east and giving heavy and persistent rain. There are some signs of an active cold front developing within the broader frontal system and if this pans out then an intense band of rain and squally winds will track west to east giving the risk of surface runoff. Latest weather models indicate that the cold front will be most active across southern England through the afternoon and evening with the odd thunderstorm not to be ruled out too.
Following the clearance of this heavy rain on Saturday night, Easter Sunday is shaping up to be a cool and blustery affair as a strong and unstable south-westerly air flow brings a mixture of sunny intervals and heavy showers. A few scattered thunderstorms can also be expected, especially across western parts where the atmosphere will be most conducive for the development of intense showers. It might therefore be a good idea to check the precipitation radar should you decide to embark on a leisurely Sunday afternoon walk in case a heavy downpour is imminent.
There doesn't appear to be much improvement into Easter Monday and, unfortunately, it looks like getting considerably worse in places. The main cause will be another deep low pressure area arriving from the west, with its centre likely moving eastwards directly over the UK. The strength and exact track of the low will have big consequences on the resultant winds and precipitation, but latest weather models indicate southern England will be in the firing line and potentially see gales through the day. Outbreaks of heavy rain, meanwhile, are forecast to be fairly widespread meaning it is likely to be a washout and cap off a thoroughly unsettled weekend. Temperatures will also be fairly disappointing with highs falling from 11-14C on Friday/Saturday to 9-12C on Sunday/Monday.

This is my final message to you as District Governor. The year has gone by very quickly and has been very fulfilling. Despite a rather aggressive travel schedule early in the year, I enjoyed thoroughly my visits to each and every club. Each club in our District is so unique. All clubs have their own culture, their own traditions, their own sense of purpose within their community. All clubs are valuable assets within their communities, providing service and funds that otherwise might not be available.
We tried some different things this year. Of particular note, the Foundation event, "You're a Good Rotarian Charlie Brown." The Strategic Planning Committee finished up their work on the District's Strategic plan which will be presented for approval during the Council on Legislation (COL) at the District Conference. We finished integrating the financial information from our two previous Districts and put in place a more streamlined District financial system, which should make things much easier for those involved in finance going forward.
I recall in the not too distant past that we have had trouble getting folks to step up into leadership beyond the club level. That does not seem to be the case any more. As a matter of fact, it seems we have more people who want to serve at the District level then we have positions. This, frankly, is a nice problem to have.
I tired something new this year – periodic videos as a different means of communicating with the District. It's hard to judge how successful this might have been, just as it's hard to determine how many folks read these monthly DG messages or read relevant emails related to District business. I've heard a number of nice comments about the videos from both Rotarians in our District as well as from Rotarians outside of our District. All that being said, I don't think Spielberg is worried about his job.
Since the merger on July 1, 2017 there is a newfound enthusiasm in our District and in its members. I urge you to continue to build on this enthusiasm. Continue to take the initiative and think outside the box. It will only help you as individual members to be better Rotarians and help our clubs grow stronger.
Immediate Past District Governor Nancy did a marvelous job getting things organized and put in place during our first year as District 5495. I have tried to build on those efforts, as well as develop some new ways of doing things. One of my main goals was to hand over to Governor-Elect David a District in even better shape than it was when I began this journey. I hope I have accomplished this.
It has been an honor to have served all of you as District Governor. I have memories and experiences that I will cherish for the remainder of my life. Thank you to all District 5495 Rotarians for giving me this opportunity. I urge you to give future Governor's the same support you gave me and I urge you to do even more for your clubs and your communities going forward.
Marty and Doc finally were able to find all the necessary parts to get the DeLorean back in working order. I have returned to the present. Marty and Doc won't be able to join us in Scottsdale for the District Conference due to prior commitments. But I will be there and I'm looking forward to see all of you there too!

| Non-canon warning!
This article is about an episode or product that is not considered canon.
Gargoyles was a series of comics published by Marvel Comics, based on the animated series of the same name. It ran for 11 issues from December 1994 to October 1995. The books referenced events from the show's first season, but did not follow the continuity of the series and is not considered canon by creator Greg Weisman.
The Marvel series was tonally darker than the television series, dealing largely with Xanatos' experiments to create creatures and machines to defeat the Gargoyles. Although Greg Weisman did not have any direct involvement in the story development of the comic series, he was consulted on some plot points to be sure it stayed within certain boundaries.
Weisman was eventually hired to write for the comic, but Marvel cut the deal with Disney before his run could be produced. Weisman still held on to his unpublished script for the comic, and would eventually use it as issue #6 of the Gargoyles SLG comic.
The characters Beth Maza (who appeared in a photo in "Deadly Force") and Petros Xanatos appeared in the comics before their full debut on the show.

New Zealand-born singer-songwriter and producer Thomston returns with brand-new single 'Casual' alongside B-side 'Middle Name', out now via Warner Music Australia.
With its sombre piano chords and heartfelt lyrics, lead track 'Casual' sees Thomston tap into the conflicting emotions that come with being in a casual relationship. "People are all over the place," he explains. "One second I want marriage and kids and a dog and a house, and the next I want to be alone. I want commitment until I don't. 'Casual' is about being in a relationship with a person of a similar temperament that is just terrible on paper but part of you wants to give in to the 'what-ifs' of a future together. It's about wondering if commitment is all it takes."
Both tracks are set to feature on Thomston's forthcoming double EP release, 'En-route: Los Angeles' and 'London', out in October. Thomston noted, "My hope is that this will give a sense of structure and cohesion to this collection of songs written with a bunch of different people over the last 3 years." In support of his upcoming project, he is poised for a three-date Australian tour next month.
First emerging onto the scene in 2014 with an experimental EP he released for free, Thomston went onto hone in on his effortless songwriting talents. In 2016, he released his debut album Topograph, whichwas recorded over five cities in three continents, keeping the bedroom intimacy that he had delivered with his homegrown releases but on a larger scale. Since then Thomston has forged his path, achieving considerable levels of success that include 90 million streams – no mean feat for someone in his early 20s.
Yet another stellar release from the New Zealander, new single 'Casual' demonstrates just how strong Thomston's forthcoming EP release will be.

Weekend round up
We finished our weekend away with a trip to Windsor; briefly stepping across the river to Eton [We stepped in Eton – not in Eton Mess. Badum Tish! Yep – that's the level of my jokes. Chap's brother didn't look impressed either but then he didn't actually know what Eton Mess is. Tsk.] There's a whacking big castle – although it's difficult to get a proper sense of the size of it as it sprawls out so much. I liked the little Homer Simpson I saw peering from one of the lower windows – presumably one of the staff's quarters rather than her Maj's. Windsor's a pretty place, though somewhat overrun with tourist tat shops vying for space with the hideously overpriced lifestyle things stores that will make your life complete for a meagre outlay of say- half your annual income for this litre of aged raspberry balsamic vinegar or some other such nonsense. [Yes – as a foody person that sentence does seem a little hypocritical but I tend to patronise ALDI or LIDL for my balsamic!] There's a fantastically crooked building – now a tea shop. I didn't go in to check but I'm prepared to bet it was also hideously overpriced. A clock incongruously set into the floor – no explanation offered I'm afraid. I liked this somewhat tortuously written plaque on the bridge over into Eton, and the masons mark in the stonework underneath. Also on the bridge were these fab bollards – seemed a little like chess pieces to me. Final proof (were it needed) that Windsor's too posh for itself – even the scaffolding has it's own hanging basket. Nice. We had lunch with Chap's peres, bro and son then wended our way home going via The Mayfly in Hampshire. A lovely pub on the bank of the river test it's a beautiful spot for a quiet pint before the long drive back West.

Love the hanging basket on the scaffolding! Haven't been to Windsor for so many years but can't see that I'd ever go back, too many tourists for my liking. Inside of the Castle is rather amazing though.ReplyDelete
I'd like to see the castle but we were only there for a couple of hours. Spotted the hanging basket and made the guys wait whilst I ran back to take a pic - think they thought I was nuts!ReplyDelete
I love my comments!!!!
Thank you for reading. I read all my comments and am trying to get better at replying to them too. :-)
Lovely to have you pass by. Be shiny. :-D

Main Features:
1. The element is said to be accessible for select substance
2. One client has announced seeing it on Internet TV
3. Others have seen it on PS3, Roku
Netflix is allegedly trying another component that will enable clients to rewind and rewatch explicit scenes from motion pictures and TV appears. While the standard rewind catch has been long accessible on Netflix, and other major computerized spilling stages, this new component is a modern rendition of it helping clients advantageously rewatch just an explicit scene and that's it. At first, the element is said to be accessible for just a chosen few films and TV appears from the spilling goliath's tremendous substance library.
Adding to that, Netflix hasn't affirmed yet whether this will be a changeless client capacity, according to a report by the Los Angeles Times. "We're experimenting with an element which enables Netflix individuals to rewatch most loved scenes and paramount minutes with the snap of a catch. At the present time we're simply hoping to gain from it and could conceivably move it out more comprehensively later on," a Netflix representative told the production. Netflix did not give some other subtleties around the component.
It is presently in the testing stage and a portion of the clients, who have seen it, don't give off an impression of being lauding it. Scott Renshaw on Twitter said that the "watch this scene once more" spring up is "waste" and needed prompt evacuation for it. He likewise proceeds to state the element has been spotted just on Internet TV, and not on work area or the Netflix portable application. Contraptions 360 has not possessed the capacity to autonomously check the element on a work area.
One more client, this time on Reddit, cases to have seen the spring up while viewing Dumplin', Netflix's most recent unique. Reprimanding the element, the client does not mince their words in saying, "For what reason does Netflix demand depreciating film significantly more than it does with its washdown shading reviewing and shoddy unique plotpoops? This troubles me Netflix is such a monster grapple later on of film culture. Gahhh [sic]"
A portion of the clients on this Reddit string have revealed seeing the "watch this scene once more" spring up while watching Black Panther, Mowgli, and Guardians of the Galaxy, on gadgets like the Sony PS3 and the Roku gushing player.
Toward the end of last month, Netflix refreshed its iOS application with certain new highlights. These incorporate new switches to move content 10 seconds forward and back. A committed catch for jumping to the following scene in the arrangement was additionally included. Finally, it has enhanced the controls of the play/stop catch.

In the midst of our lives there are different seasons upon which we draw a multitude of life experience. From our infancy through our final age we continuously grow, willingly or not by those factors in and around our life. School, graduation, our jobs, marriage, relationships, retirement…
Sometimes in the midst of these spaces it can feel as if we are desperately alone, caring the burden of our emotions and the weight of the world silently and with difficulty upon our shoulders. The weight can be crushing causing us to collapse inward, falling in a pit with the raw smell of dark caving us in to a place of isolation and loneliness. We may be desperate to hear the sound of anything, besides our own thouhts, and the torments of our own mind.
I invite you to stop and be. Be still.
Listen. Two gifts are yet with you in the midst of this narrowing tomb.
The first is breath. Your heart might be beating and racing hard, with short gasps of air for a more richer life. We get distracted by its' galloping… but hear and know it is still yet with you. Notice the cool way the air enters your nose. How it leave warm and comforting. You have life brewing inside you. You have life.
What a gift.
Be still and know. Feel that life. Feel the breath of each moment as an awakening to know that you are a gift and have the gift of of existence pulsing through you. In and out. In-Out. In-Out. Hear life.
Two. Open your eyes just slightly to see that there is light in life. Light in the breath you breath. Light in your existence.
Follow your eyes to the light of energy, of breath, that nourishes you. Allow it to shift your vision, guiding you to be aware that you have power and strength to break the barriers of the cave. That the cave is not a chamber of death, but a womb that you emerge from, a moment in existence where you will come out new and whole, to breath with deep, beautiful, fresh, healing breaths, alive to a new way to see the radiance of colors that the light brings. The radience of your being in a world of colors, of flowers and fields of green grass growing, trees that flourish, clouds that float by and a sun that warms you, your hair, and fingers and toes, your heart. Turn your face to the sun to the light.
Breath in deep. Give it all away. All the pain that made a chamber, and soak into your being the joy and fullness of being free.
Be still and know you are a beautiful gift of the creating Spirit of God and you have been spoken to, in and through. You have been carried. You are transformed.

Confessions on an Island: Ayan Pal's solo debut novel
The author's guests and the audience, who were already familiar with Pal's penmanship, hailed the innovative style of writing at the book launch held some time back at the Starmark bookstore in Kolkata's Quest Mall.
Titled Confessions on an Island, the story revolves around an abducted woman, a best-selling author, trapped on an island, whose only chance to escape lies in telling stories emerging from the stories that her intriguing abductor tells her. Clueless about why she is being forced to participate in this game, she decides to play along, even though the stakes are raised gradually.
And if you think you have got a hint about the ending, when the back cover blurb says "soon the only way out is in – into the past, heart and mind," you are part of the jigsaw puzzle.
Like the island you have to wait 'to see how it all pans out' and finally see for yourself 'how this story ends'.
Suchandra Chowdhury, lyricist, actress and former programme executive of Doordarshan rightly said, "A man, a woman, a beautiful South East Asian island – a backdrop that is perfect for a Mills and Boon romance. But here lies the difference. The promising and talented young author Ayan Pal doesn't walk the beaten track, instead he gifts his readers a well-crafted spine-chilling story."
As an author, Pal is known for his short stories in the Aamzon bestsellers Chronicles of Urban Nomads, 21 Tales to Tell, and When They Spoke. He has also contributed to India's first composite novel, Crossed and Knotted, Upper Cut, Her Story, Rudraksha, Arranged to Love, Tonight's the Night, and Long Story Short.
A Kolkata-based IT professional, author Ayan Pal has received several accolades in his career so far. His book has been a record holder in the Limca Book of Records. He has earned the title of Distinguished Toastmaster from Toastmasters International. He has won two Brandon Hall awards.
Ishaan Mazumdar, singer, composer, lyricist and actor; Ajitha Menon, Political Economy Adviser, British Dy. High Commission; Kounteya Sinha, photojournalist; RJ Roy of Radio One; Lahari Chakraborty, actress; Raouf Gangjee, standup comedian and Dr Priyadarshini Chakrabarti Basu,Post-dotoral fellow, Oregon State University, were present at the book launch.
Confessions of an Island has been published by Readomania.
