The Racket: A Rogue Reporter vs. the Masters of the Universe
The tale american citizens are wont to inform themselves approximately their country is a compelling one: the U.S. is a strength for reliable on the earth, a haven for wealthy upward mobility, and a stalwart defender of democracy and human rights abroad.
With The Racket, veteran investigative journalist Matt Kennard pulls again the curtain and divulges a miles darker fact. the image of the US he paints is significantly at odds with that noble photo: via Kennard's eyes we see one other the United States, one who has lashed the realm to a neoliberal imaginative and prescient and has rewarded prosperous elites on the cost of normal humans, actual freedom, and the worldwide surroundings. construction his case from greater than 2,000 interviews with officers, intellectuals, and artists around the globe, together with Noam Chomsky, Naomi Klein, Howard Zinn, John Pilger, and Banksy, Kennard unearths how we're offered a dream and the way that dream obscures the truth of the company country, mass incarceration, and the evisceration of human rights.
A ringing polemic that's powerfully rooted actually, The Racket is as guaranteed to be arguable because it is to fire up severe reform and revolt.

Making Rights Real: The Human Rights Act in its First Decade
Greater than 5 years after the graduation of the UK's Human Rights Act 1998, it's well timed to guage the Act's effectiveness. the focal point of creating Rights actual is at the volume to which the Act has added at the promise to 'bring rights domestic. ' The e-book considers how the judiciary, Parliament, and the administrative within the united kingdom have played within the new roles that the Human Rights Act calls for them to play.
The Effectiveness of UN Human Rights Institutions
Because the Seventies, the foreign neighborhood of states has proven expanding willingness to speculate UN associations with politico-ethical authority to behave on its behalf in addressing human rights abuses. via trial and mistake, a few of these associations have had a level of luck in securing greater sensible observance of overseas human rights criteria.
The Globalization of Supermax Prisons
"Supermax" prisons, conceived by way of the us within the early Eighties, are usually reserved for convicted political criminals akin to terrorists and spies and for different inmates who're thought of to pose a major ongoing hazard to the broader neighborhood, to the protection of correctional associations, or to the protection of different inmates.

Sample text
Due to political disagreements about including all types of rights within one treaty, the General Assembly requested the Commission to draft two separate covenants - one on 'civil and political' rights, and another on 'economic, social and cultural' rights. On 16 December 1966, the General Assembly adopted the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Both came into force in 1976. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights covers human rights in areas including education, food, housing, and health care, as well as the right to work and to just and favourable conditions of work.
Appeals to rights as derived through irrefutable logic and entitlement are today somehow more immediately convincing than concepts such as 'social contract', 'the law of nature', or 'right reason'. Brigitte convinces the police through an appeal to a logical entitlement to a right to park on the pavement. An appeal for generosity, forgiveness, humanity, or charity would have involved a different gesture. Third, a shared sense of grievance provides powerful succour for those claiming their 'rights'.
The former Prime Minister of Rwanda, Jean Kambanda, was sentenced to life imprisonment for genocide and crimes against humanity. Radislav Krstic, Chief of Staff of the Bosnian Serb Army (Drina Corps), was sentenced to 35 years' imprisonment for aiding and abetting genocide in Srebrenica by allowing military personnel under his command to be used for the murder of about 8,000 men (see Box 7). Even if crimes against humanity were generally seen as something different from human rights, today genocide and other crimes against humanity are increasingly seen as part of the human rights story.

Revisiting My Childhood
Here's the package front of the first one.
And here is the painting chart on the back ....
...looks like tedious work, huh? But, I'm loving it! I started with the smallest, cheapest (only $3.99!) picture first, just to get a little practice before delving into that BIG picture...a 20" X 16"...kind of intimidating! On with the work...
... Day 1
... day 2
...day 3
...and day 5!!!
It's not finished yet but I just couldn't wait to show what I've got finished already! I'll post a picture when I finish my project. I've already found dozens of places where I can proudly display my new painting... some in the house, some in the camper. I have a feeling I won't stop with these first two projects. Hobby Lobby has many more kits just calling out to me...take me home with you, Sherry, paint me...paint me!

Freedom Interiors: Workspaces that work
Freedom Interiors creates the kind of workspaces that make people excited for Monday morning. The company figures out exactly how clients want their offices to feel and function, then translates that vision into reality.
For the longest time, though, Carol Espinosa and her team couldn't do the same thing for themselves. As a young, growing company, Freedom rented space in other people's buildings.
That changed late last year, when Freedom moved into its new home at 4000 Washington St. in Kansas City. The 7,000-square-foot brick structure — at one point, home to Westport's old post office — has been completely transformed into a showroom for Freedom's interior design and the furnishings the company sells.
"We really didn't have a good avenue to show people what we can do," said Espinosa, who launched Freedom in 2011. "We were in need of a space where we could bring people over and say, 'Do you like this? Here's what we can do.'"
Under the barrel roof, there are stylish desks and cubicles, as well as couches and booths and even a bar in the corner. On the other side of the building, you'll find brightly colored, munchkin-sized chairs and tables for classrooms. Freedom can source from over 100 furniture lines they sell.
Espinosa doesn't have to rely strictly on photos and catalogs when selling. Now, prospective clients can touch and sit on the furniture.
Growth spurt
The showroom is only one big change for Freedom Interiors. In six months, the company's headcount doubled from five people to 10.
Most of Freedom's business comes from the public sector. Government agencies and K-12 school districts are loyal customers, but the company is winning more business from corporate clients and local architecture and design firms, too, now that Espinosa and her team have an easy way to show people exactly what they can do.
They don't just rely on the showroom. Freedom Interiors uses up-to-the-minute technology to complete its projects — much of it put in service by Garold Sokolenko, Espinosa's husband, who owned an IT company in the past and who now works in the business as a project lead.
The Freedom team employs a 3-D laser scanner to create a perfect digital copy of the client's space, down to the inch, and then uses that as a canvas for its interior design. Customers can wear VR goggles to "walk through" their reimagined offices before a single piece of furniture is ordered.
New tools, old-school methods
While the technology is important, Freedom's most important tools are much older: the ability to ask questions and sift the answers for what clients really need. That's where each project starts, Espinosa said.
"What we want to know is not what you want the space to look like," she said, "but what do you want the space to feel like, what do you want the space to do?"
An accounting firm, for example, might need quiet spaces so staffers can easily stay focused. An advertising agency? They probably desire a design that encourages employees to talk and collaborate — or even overhear others' conversations, so they can pipe up with another idea.
"Usually, you spend more time at your office, at your workplace, than you do at home," Espinosa said, "and it's incredible what the interior space can do for you, both positive and negative."
From Project Manager to Principal
Despite starting and running her own successful company, Espinosa still doesn't think of herself as a businesswoman. Not a natural-born one, at least.
At heart, she's a project manager. Pulling together a million different details into a finished project, one that really makes a difference for people — that's what she thrives on, and it's what she did before starting Freedom Interiors.
Back then, she worked for another office-furniture company in Kansas City, where she learned the ins and outs of federal contracts after her employer started selling office furniture to different agencies.
Those contracts often required participation from woman- or minority-owned businesses, so Espinosa's previous company would partner with smaller firms on those projects. Espinosa, who grew up in Rio de Janeiro and became a U.S. citizen after attending the University of Kansas, realized that she was already doing the same kind of work as those other companies. So why not go into business for herself?
Plus, Espinosa already had experience managing the process that comes with government jobs. It's a Freedom strength: "We're not afraid of paperwork and forms and submissions," she said.
At first, the company was just Espinosa and a laptop. But she quickly made gains. She pursued and won certification through the U.S. Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program, which trains small, disadvantaged companies to be federal contractors. Then, a few years ago, Freedom Interiors earned a spot in the Blue Hills Contractor Incubator, a launchpad for small construction firms — and Espinosa's landlord until last year.
Collaborative focus
On a recent afternoon, Espinosa sat in her conference room and leaned over her computer, clicking through a 3-D tour of her building from before the renovations began. The structure used to house a hair salon and the studio of photographer Ben Weddle. (A triptych that hangs next to the bar — a portrait of a jazz saxophonist, lit in blue — is a Weddle work that Espinosa loved so much, she had him include it in their contract.)
The renovation was extensive, but Espinosa wanted to pay tribute to the building's history. The wooden doors, original to the building when it was still a post office, have been repurposed as architectural features. Three are suspended over the bar, and two were converted into hanging barn doors leading into the kitchen.
Transforming 4000 Washington St. was an exciting process, though there were some challenging moments — like when they removed the drop plaster ceiling and one of the walls threatened to collapse.
Luckily, Freedom Interiors had expert support from JE Dunn. Espinosa has had a relationship with the construction company ever since completing its training program for minority entrepreneurs.
Much of the work on the building was subcontracted to other friends of Freedom, businesses the company met during its time at the Blue Hills Contractor Incubator.
Espinosa wanted this to be a showcase not just for Freedom, but for fellow businesses, too. And she wasn't disappointed. Her friends came up with ideas that consistently wowed her, like a feature wall made from LED lights and reclaimed Missouri barn wood.
"They so took ownership of this project," Espinosa said. "They just wanted to blow us away."
JP Welding, a custom fabricator that's certified as a service-disabled veteran-owned business, made several connections while working on Freedom Interiors' building. As a result, JP Welding did more business in the first three months of the year than what had been expected for all of 2018, Espinosa said.
Espinosa was inspired to create opportunities for other contractors because she remembers all the help and encouragement she received while starting Freedom Interiors.
She sought out training from programs like the UMKC Small Business & Technology Development Center and the Missouri Procurement Technical Assistance Center. Last year, she was able to take graduate-level business classes at Stanford University as part of the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative.
In addition to its 8(a) status, Freedom Interiors holds certifications with the State of Missouri and Kansas City, Mo., as well as the General Services Administration.
Certification has helped the business win jobs, but it's not magic.
"They're helpful to get in the door," Espinosa said. "Once we're in the door, we still need to do a good job, and we still need to be price-competitive. But they definitely help start the conversation."
Headed for 25-25-25
Freedom Interiors has completed projects in all 50 states and overseas, too.
"We did a job on an island in the middle of the Pacific, 8,000 miles west of us," Espinosa said. "Tiny island, and we had to share with those end-users what their workspace was going to look like."
Freedom built 3-D visualizations so detailed that National Weather Service employees on Palau, a Micronesian island, could not only see the furniture and the design finishes, but look out the "window" at a virtual beach. Teams in Hawaii and Australia carried out the legwork and installed all the furnishings.
While government contracting has been profitable, Espinosa already has a major new goal in mind for Freedom Interiors.
"The goal is 25-25-25, which is 25 employees with $25 million in annual revenue for 2025," Espinosa said. "I have it broken down by year, so every year, we know what we need."
To accomplish that, the company will need to continue expanding into new markets like higher education, health care and beyond.
'The best of the best'
And Espinosa knows that she needs to keep growing, too, so she works with a leadership coach, Ted Davis of Grace Strategic Services, who's encouraged her to step out of her comfort zone when necessary.
Case in point: Espinosa had a tendency to hire other introverts. She realized that she needed other types of viewpoints and energy.
When she hired her first extrovert, they actually went through their personality tests together, so they each understood how the other communicated.
Today, Freedom team members take three personality tests, including StrengthsFinder. Everyone knows everyone else's top five strengths. That way, if someone gets stuck with a problem, they know which co-worker might be able to help them.
"When I say it out loud, it sounds like I'm overdoing it," Espinosa said, laughing. "But when you get a group of people together, it is so important that the dynamic is a good one."
Ultimately, that's what Freedom Interiors is about — creating places where people have the freedom and opportunity to do their best possible work. And for Espinosa, that absolutely includes her team.
"If we're going to do the best of the best for our customers," Espinosa said, "why not do the best of the best for us?"

Was doing some reading on Gary Kildall and stumbled down a thread where a former engineer named George Wenzel said the following:
"Remember the story about Gary flying his plane instead of meeting with IBM when they were wanting to put CP/M on the PC? And how missing that meeting caused IBM to go with msdos?
That story is rubbish.
The PC was shipped with a crappy, buggy version of msdos, because msdos was cheap. The user was expected to pay $250 for CPM if they wanted to run the current commercial software (wordstar and others). CP/M was an upgrade path for the PC. The real story was that IBM thought of CP/M as the "good stuff" and it was a premium offering. But that isnt even a tiny part of the whole story...
Did you ever own an original IBM AT? On the IBM AT, the power-up post routine printed the words "AT Multiuser System" at the top of the screen during power up. What the heck is the AT Multiuser System??? The AT prototypes didnt boot msdos, they booted a secret new OS. This new OS (I dont know the code-name for it) was a multiuser dos. The design was simple, you buy an AT, and it comes with one or more 8 port serial cards. You buy Wyse terminals (the ones with the PC Emulation mode( as opposed to modes like VT100 emulation)) and put one one each desk, then you run serial cables to your AT. This OS was a true multitasking OS, and the AT was a small cheap minicomputer. THAT was what the AT was designed to be. Period.
So what the heck happened?
IBM had a successful project, the first manufacturing run filled the warehouse, the software was ready, and it was time to start packaging the retail boxes. The first of the manufactured systems used up the last of the initial supply of 286 chips, before Intel switched to a lower-cost run of the 286 chips. The new 286 chips had some minor changes to increase yields, allowing the price to be lowered. Apparently the yields were low on the original version that IBM started manufacturing with. At some point IBM found a bug in the OS that slipped through the QA tests... It was a subtle bug that only had an impact when the machine was multitasking with multiple users, and as it turns out it was only present on the systems with the new 286 chips.
There was a lot of finger pointing and hand-wringing going on over it. Something was broken in the protected mode functions. IBM sales execs were either going to have to insist Intel use the more expensive low-yield version of the 286 chip, OR IBM was going to have to scrap the multiuser system. IBM is managed by the sales department. Someone in sales did the math... we use the expensive 286 chip, and sell one AT to each customers office of 15 to 20 people... OR we sell them 15 or 20 machines with a cheaper chip. Which makes more money? It was decided that scrapping the multiuser system would increase system sales volume in theory. Even if the 15 to 20 machines were PCs instead of ATs, more money was made selling more systems than selling one.
So what happened to the multiuser system? The 8-port serial boards were ground into dust, except for a few units that escaped with the beta testers (I used to have a bunch of these). The Wyse terminals still had the PC emulation mode, but the expected sales volume of those never happened, so Wyse suffered as their R&D investment in the project was scrapped. DR got paid for their work on the OS, but they never got to see any revenue from sales. Bill Gates went from being a footnote in history to being who he is today. The first widely distributed multitasking OS never saw the light of day for several more years, and Gary went from being the grandfather of the small computer industry to a footnote. The operating system sat on a shelf for a couple years, but was dusted off and used when IBM started developing scanner cash registers. The new cash registers needed some sort of network or centralized computer, so DR got to sell a couple hundred copies of an OS that was supposed to sell millions (billions by today). The software got a new name, ConcurrentDOS.
Did Gary miss an IBM meeting because he was flying a plane, sure, he missed meeting all the time because travel prevented timely arrival. He was a pilot, and liked to fly, and sometimes that caused travel delays. Did that meeting cause Bill Gates OS to win over CP/M, not even close!"
Thought this was an interesting take - but not sure how accurate it is. Apparently he got into a bit of a 'discussion' with editors of the wiki page on Kildall/Digital Research and his addition of this info was voted down.
I've owned a few ATs, going back to when they first came out, but I don't remember seeing this 'multiuser' POST message.
I'm not sure, even if true and even if Intel hadn't changed the 286, that that would have materially changed anything for DR, I still think DOS would have continued undercutting CP/M/Concurrent DOS and that ultimately would have won the 'war'. Or would it?

We just released a new Adventurous Monster Breeder Test Build.
This build was meant to be released a couple of weeks back but the ones of you that follow us close know we faced a lot of problems, our website got hacked, and patreon suspended our page again, that's the reason behind the delay.
This build is focused on the sex system, the older followers know how bad the old AMB sex system was, this one is far better, on this one you can:
- Change sex animation without ending the sex interaction
- Change to 1st to 3rd person camera while in sex
- Improved 1st person camera
We also added the:
- Facial expression system
This will enable the npcs to have procedural facial expressions depending on what they are doing, right now only lolis have this added, but the system is in a way that it's super easy to add new expressions.
We also greatly improved the locomotion system for the characters.
We also added the:
- Outline Effect in the interaction
Since AMB birth people asked for this simple feature and we added it now.
F: Interaction
Q: 1st Person Camera
Esc: Menu
Middle Mouse: Change Movement mode
X: Spawn NPC
And the codes to disable the Censor are:
And get a lot of benefits.

Last week as a panelist for @angieadoptee I had the privilege of listening to a room full of pre- and adoptive parents share their concerns and hopes, questions and wonders about the complexities of adoption.
A few of those questions continue to linger for me; one of them, "Are you thankful?"
Let's pause for a moment… have you ever thought about someone who wasn't there?
This is a form of "Ambiguous Loss."
For those who've been at Therapy Redeemed for a while, you've probably heard me use this term before.
If you're new here, hey welcome!!! And please do check out the article by Jae Ran Kim where she unpacks these ideas of Ambiguous Loss developed by Dr. Pauline Boss.
I am thankful. And I have hope. But perhaps for reasons beyond this world. My fellow panelist added, "I'm thankful, but that doesn't minimize the loss and grief I carry with me."
An excerpt from the article: "For most, the ritual of finalizing an adoption is a "joyous" time; however, not all adopted youth understand or feel happy about the finalization—especially if the child is older at the time of the adoption. For children who remember their first parents, finalization day may actually be a reminder of their loss. The "gotcha" day, or anniversary of the adoption, may be a sad reminder of what the adoptee has lost rather than a celebration of what they have gained."
Much love to that fellow adoptee who asked us that question, "Are you thankful?" and listened with such grace and empathy.
Because allies don't tell you how to feel;
they listen to how you feel.
And stand with you.
Words would fall short if I tried to describe what it was like to feel some of your tears as you shared a heartfelt slice of your own story that day. I'm with you.
I once heard a pastor say, "We have a God shaped hole in our hearts."
Ambiguous Loss isn't about minimizing or denying the rightful place of our Faithful Creator, nor is it about over magnifying or idolizing the good things in this broken world; like family and biological caregiving.
It's about acknowledging and honoring those in our lives who enjoy and were designed to hold precious real estate in our hearts, minds, and stories; whether here and now or there and then.
We've not been called to forget one another, but to love one another.
"Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." –1 Peter 1:8-9
"Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart," –1 Peter 1:22
I wanna add one more thing. It's an old term:
Confident Gain
I hesitated to add this for fear it would help justify things and ideas I don't support (e.g., erasure, color blindness, ethnic cleansing, racism, etc). But I hope it would inspire another layer of thought as you reflect on your own personal place and station in this world; as you pursue justice and kindness, cultural diversity and inclusion, dignity and respect.
I'm confident there is a compassionate and powerful Redeemer actively and purposefully working to demolish every obstacle and barrier that stands in our way toward Him and our complete restoration.
Sometimes I'm my own obstacle.
And it hurts like a glimpse of hell when He's working on me but I keep my eye on the prize. We considering everything a loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. (2 Cor 10:5, Philippians 3:8)

Meet Sandie Leigh and Teddy MacDougal
The author is a California naïve and avid gardener. Sandie is a retired Sales and Marketing Executive who has been in love with West Highland white terriers since she was a child.
The creation of Teddy MacDougal is a culmination of many of her beloved westie personalities over the years. Teddy loves begging for bacon, chasing squirrels and wearing clothes, believe it or not. He is full of attitude better known to westie owners as "WESTITUDE". Teddy's curiosity and independent nature finds him up close, and sometimes too personal with many creatures of the Secret Garden.
Sandie's rural wine country surroundings are the inspiration for many of the whimsical characters that she describes in her books. The Northern California regional wildlife is abundant and will make for many more intriguing stories to come.

Project Description
During my research on my master Thesis and a potential place for architectural intervention, I have come across this interesting place in the heart of Berlin. With great interest I have included the ideas of the owner regarding the future use in my reflections. There were several conversations in which the potentials of the place and various suggestions for use were disguised. A noteworthy note was the open-mindedness and motivation of the builder, who liked to talk with me about his plans for a new building / extension / construction project This building originally belonged to a church community and was used as a meeting place and as a communal area. Later, this was admitted as a business space and business premises, where Mr. Blim has transformed him by small changes in a shop and still training rooms. Through discussions with Mr. Blim was tried to find out what potentials this place has and what it is still needed. For this, the possible extensions have been discussed, such as further training rooms and the corresponding storage and storage areas. And perhaps an additional theater with seating and stand for spectators. Both a suggestion for a small cafe that can be operated by a person. This had as a consequence the use of the roof garden included in the concept, whereby there is still no secure word to say whether the owner and the neighbors agree with it. This will probably remain as an open option, and is likely to be replaced only if this business is acquired entirely by the owner.

The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) and Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) will hold an additional 60-day public scoping period to gather public input on potential environmental impacts, alternatives, and mitigation measures of the Colusa-Sutter Transmission Line, or CoSu Line.
A public meeting is scheduled at 5 PM to 8 PM on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at the Colusa Casino-Resort Community Room, 3770 California 45 in Colusa.
The CoSu Line is a proposed 500-kilovolt electric transmission line that would provide a new link between the California-Oregon Transmission Project (COTP) and SMUD's and WAPA's transmission facilities on the east side of the Sacramento Valley.
From December 2015 through April 2016, WAPA and SMUD conducted public scoping for a joint Environmental Impact Statement/ Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR) to consider alternatives to and environmental impacts of the CoSu Line in portions of Colusa and Sutter counties. Based on the comments received during that process, WAPA and SMUD are adding an additional study area approximately 20 miles south of the study areas originally scoped and refining the previously-scoped study areas. This additional public scoping period will include all study areas previously scoped, slight additions to the previously identified study areas, and a new study area that would connect to the COTP in Yolo County and would terminate near the Elverta Substation in northwestern Sacramento County.
The 60-day public scoping period begins Friday, January 6, 2017, and ends Tuesday, March 7, 2017. During the scoping period, WAPA and SMUD are seeking comments on the scope of issues to be analyzed in the Draft EIS/EIR. You can learn more about the CoSu Line and submit public comments by attending a public scoping meeting.
You do not need to attend a scoping meeting to submit comments on the scope of the Draft EIS/EIR. Previous comments are in the official record and do not need to be resubmitted. Please send comments by Tuesday, March 7, 2017, to: email: email@example.com or mail: Mr. Andrew Montano, NEPA, Document Manager, Western Area Power Administration, Headquarters, P.O. Box 281213, Lakewood, Colorado 80228-8213.

Those few scenes were shot on location from Mountain Rwenzori and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in Southwest Uganda. Something to celebrate about, right?
Africa is basking in the Marvel Cinematic Universal following the release of 2018 American superhero film, Black Panther on February 14 in cinemas across the continent.
In Uganda, the film premiers February 14 at invite-only function in Kampala, triggering unconfined ecstasy among cinemagoers.
But then, shelving that aside and besides the fact that the movie stars two actors of Ugandan origin, Daniel Kaluuya and Florence Kasumba, among the black star-studded cast, cinemagoers will or will not notice…er ahem…folks, a little spoiler will not hurt here…that some scenes were actually filmed on location from Uganda.
Those few scenes were shot on location from Mountain Rwenzori and Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, in Southwest Uganda. Something to celebrate about, right?
The film, directed by Ryan Coogler, stars Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Kaluuya, Forest Whitaker, and Kasumba.
It is set in the mystical and fictional African nation, Wakanda, telling the story of T'Challa, the King of Wakanda who returns home to take his rightful place as king of the isolated, technologically advanced African nation following the death of his father.
The Black Panther has access to a vast collection of magical artifacts, advanced Wakandan technological and military hardware, as well as the support of his nation's wide array of scientists, warriors, and mystics.
The film is produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is the 18th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Enjoy some beauty from Uganda on your screen.

PUBLISHING FOLLY AHEAD: HELP WANTED June 12, 2014Posted by markswill in About me, Cars and Bikes, Media.
If you love the printed word, skip the next eight paras. Otherwise…
Reporting in the Guardian's Media Blog on May 18th, the sainted David Hepworth reported comments proudly made by Zillah Byng-Maddick, the newly anointed CEO of Future Publishing, after announcing hundreds of job-cuts as the company rushes onto a digital-only, erm, future. "Now," he noted, "a single content and marketing team would produce all content." Zillah Byng-Maddick – who oversaw Auto Trader's transition from print to digital – claimed 'our expert, trusted content enables us to attract large communities of highly engaged customers who want to buy things, and that's exceptionally appealing to our clients'.
"No mention," notes Hepworth, "of either readers or advertisers there. Instead it's customers and clients, two words that an editor used to be able to go through an entire career without allowing them to sully their lips."
In fact Future, which is the only publicly quoted (what used to be called) magazine publisher in the country, and thus beholden to shareholders who give not a fig about anything but profit, is busy selling off its titles to whoever'll buy them. Most recently this means Immediate Media, who also acquired all of BBC's magazines in 2011 and has re-energised them, especially the once considered moribund but now hugely profitable Radio Times which sells 830,000 copies an issue.
I used to work for Future in the '90s and greatly enjoyed doing so but under a succession of hard-nosed CEOs and CFOs the "digital transition" means blood on the carpet and a lot of creative types wondering what's hitting them. The story's the same right across magazine publishing with the emphasis on providing what advertisers rather than readers want, based on the assumption that as Byng-Maddick slyly implies, readers will buy anything editorial tells them to buy because at least in the short term, editorial is trusted. That, in my view, is because the instant availability of information in today's Wiki-world seems to infer an aura of authority.
And then we have Robert Peston writing in the London Evening Standard that, "The relentless cycle of cost-cutting at traditional news media is giving growing and potentially worrying power to the public relations industry."
He then bemoans, "the fetishisation of hiring young people who supposedly understand the digital world… but (who have) few proper contacts. Now newspapers are filled with reports based on spurious PR-generated surveys, because they lack the resources to generate their own, high-quality stories."
And yet at the recent Hay Festival, there was an overt 'Print Isn't Dead' theme – a bit rich coming from an organisation which avidly embraces digital readers. Nevertheless an interesting item in its promo-bumf virtually celebrated the fact that we spent £93million less on printed books last year than in 2013, but in the next breath reckoned that "by producing high-quality editions, traditional publishers can shore up sales and retain the loyalty of self-confessed papyrophiles." (I assumed 'papyrophiles' are readers who like ink-on-paper). A claim possibly justified by the statistic that sales of hardbacks rose by 11.5% in America last year.
Whatever you make of all this, now might not seem the time to be launching a print magazine, especially so if you're middle-aged and somewhat phobic towards digital media. So of course that's exactly what I'm going to do. And I need your help.
As occasionally reflected in these blogs, I'm a big fan of old cars and 'bikes. (I was going to witter on here about the monstrous consequences to my Citruin XM after recently hitting a badger at 80mph, or replacing the catalytic converter on my Twingo money-pit, but you'd only laugh). My career in automotive journalism began in 1972 in the offices of Car magazine where I'd conceived a bratty little motorcycle magazine called, with vaulting imagination, Bike. And extraordinarily, after many incarnations it remains the market leader. But Car's staff taught me that original prose and careful editing mattered, and in its day it was superior in both respects to anything else around. Its stellar writers included Doug Blain, L.J.K Setright and Mel Nichols and their descriptive powers, love of both language and machinery inspired and instructed me.
Now I am old I miss those great writers and their freedom to let their knowledge and critical enthusiasm run wild over 2, 3, or 4,000+ words. Today's motoring (and motorcycling) magazines rarely contain articles over 1500 words long and have become tediously formulaic. And this because their writers are constrained by the short attention spans of a digital constituency, or as Peston implies, because the emphasis is on young hacks who don't know how to craft a long-form essay.
But I believe that those of us who grew up with cars in the '50s, '60s and '70s – i.e. today's classics – still know how to read more than a page of bland text displayed on a desktop and who appreciate the informed opinions of people who can still write it. So this autumn I'm investing, if not squandering my savings in what will be a small, but perfectly formed periodical full of great writing about great cars, the great men and women responsible for them, and their great escapades and achievements.
I already have some fine contributors onboard, but I'd ask any of you who have such stories to tell, and who can really write as well as read, to contact me – or recommend appropriate others. If nothing else, in these strange and difficult times for the printed word, it should be quite an adventure: firstname.lastname@example.com

Wow, I admire your bravery in creating a new mag about old cars, i will subscribe. Having spent the last two weekends and evenings hacking, filling, sanding and spraying my canary yellow 1966 Volvo Amazon to get it to Glastonbury, it is a subject dear to my heart.
- 2. Neil Murray - June 12, 2014
Who remembers Buying Cars, a couple of decades ago (maybe more)? That was funny, especially when they got caught with a Saab 900 whose miles were 100,000 higher than they thought, because of a small square of black tape over the '1' digit on the odometer.
As for old bikes, they provide a marvellous opportunity (sometimes) to us old farts who can recall how to make them tick. I recently picked up a lovely classic 1973 Honda CB125S for a song (less than the bloke had spent on paint and mudguards) because, although he'd fitted a new camchain and piston and rings, it was still clanking at low revs. And yours truly, mindful of Mr Honda's odd entirely-manual camchain adjustment system on these tiddlers, was certain he'd not connected the linkage properly. And he hadn't. Half an hour's work and a circlip and a washer later, and it was running like a Rolex.
- 3. Jan Buxton - June 12, 2014
Sounds good. Also I'll mention it to someone I know who'd be a good contributor.
PS I didn't know badgers could run that fast
- 5. Neil Murray - June 13, 2014
Mark – my favourite Turkish knock-off is a pair of cheap sunglasses I bought off the street, actually really rather good ones, and I've used them for years. Brand? Ray-Bens.
In Latin America, there's some Chinese brand of motorcycle that calls itself a Yamasaki, which always makes me grin.
- 6. Martin Wild - June 13, 2014
Not 'Running Out of Road' yet then matey! I was there for 'Bike' Issue 1 (and many others) and you know about the CAR thing.
Anyway, good luck; and by the way I bought two books today, with real pages and everything!
- Martin Wild - June 16, 2014
Roger that – as they say in the military. Looking forward to another Issue 1.

Sorry for the delay in reading your blog, but it really is inspired writing. And as to your ambitious Fall effort, good for you! Publishing and writing is an addiction, especially when you determine what is writ and wot is not. Full support from these quarters! Great writers have a point of view; hacks are wordmongers. And you have always had a very pointed and directed view of your subject.
But publishers are seemingly strangling themselves. A recent example: Hillary Clinton received a $14m advance, 1,000,000 copies were printed and distributed for the launch, and estimates now are that total sales over the next 2 years will not reach 150,000. The entire supply chain of publishing is ancient and needs revamping. Books and magazines ain't goin' nowhere, but publishers are not helping to reduce costs. And yes, the technology and the models are out there, but the inertia in the publsihing world is immense, in my superficial opinion. Good for you Mark! Onward, but not sideways!
- Wm. Terry Krueger - June 19, 2014
Yep, you are right. The publishing industry publishes at its own peril. They chase washed up has-beens the way Hollywood reworks the original 6 screenplays of a centruy ago. This person was famous once so screw writing and storytelling, maybe some of the "Kardashian" magic will rub off on our book. And then another of your observations of 50 quid a copy—I mean, I'm interested but I wasn't hero worshiping the guy. (Jimmy Clark is another story). It's all as ludicrous as the pomposity of the NYTs calling themselves the "paper of record". Don't get me started…
- 8. neil harrison - September 2, 2014
Well, how's the "venture" coming along ? Where do we subscribe ?
- 9. Rikgadsby - January 2, 2015
shame about the mag, although completely against the current grain of publishing it might just have worked and, let's face it, when have you ever gone with the grain? Thanks also for the litany of political and human horrors we have to look forward to in 2015, I had not stopped to count them but as you say the list is endless. the end is listless. Happy days…
- 10. Eric - October 23, 2016
After finding my copy of ROOR lurking in a box of Bike back issues, I thought I'd see if you were still writing. Delighted to find that you are! Shame you decided not go ahead with the car mag. As a recent convert to classic cars (A scabby but hilariously fun Jensen Interceptor) from a life solely on two wheels, it would have been just the best thing to accompany my (mis)adventures with my new money-pit!
- Neil Murray - June 7, 2017
Hah. And how about a 1988 Porsche 911 Targa (mit Getrag G50 gearbox), purchased four years ago for £12k. With just a few problems in the past few years….
- 11. Wm. Terry Krueger - September 3, 2017
Mark, I have amused myself reading many of the comments and your responses well back into 2014. When the car mag was just the gleam in the corner of your wicked eye. I look forward to reading this new version of your publishing addiction. I will visit your website again, as last week I seem to have a little problem, and hopefully I'll be your first US subscriber! As always buddy, good luck and keep the quill sharp.

Nessus was the ninth and deepest layer of the Nine Hells of Baator.[4]
The layer was a featureless plain with jagged edges that extended 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) from east to west and 1,100 miles (1,800 kilometers) from north to south, floating in an endless red void.[2] The plains were scarred by chasms and ravines several thousand miles deep,[4] and were frequently ravaged by fiery storm winds.[3]
Geographical FeaturesEdit
The River Styx trickled down into Nessus through a little-known, small offshoot. It was heavily guarded by devils who slew any unauthorized visitors on sight.[1] The river drained into a shallow pool known as the Forgotten Lake, then continued at the bottom of some of the crevasses before percolating through the earth and continuing its course into Gehenna.[2]
The River Lethe also flowed across Nessus, occasionally also falling into its trenches and ravines.[6]
The layer was ruled directly by Asmodeus, who presented himself as an illusion of a tall, red-skinned, slender man. He was assisted by a court of archdevils that included the Chancellor of Hell Adramalech, Inquisitor Phongor, and several commanders. His pit fiend generals included Executioner Alastor, Asmodeus's majordomo Baalberith, and Constable Martinet.[2][3]
Asmodeus allowed Zariel to recover in Nessus from the wounds sustained by her fall before assigning her as Duchess of Avernus.[7]
Rumors & LegendsEdit
— Destiny Agganor's front door runes[8]
The tiefling midwife Destiny Agganor from Nightstone had a set of runes burned onto her front door to ward off unwanted visitors. It contained a prayer that included damning any intruders to burn in Nessus for almost a century.[8]
Notable LocationsEdit
- Malsheem, the largest city in all of the Outer Planes and home to Asmodeus. Located at the bottom of an enormous trench directly below the portal from the Pit in Cania, it was inhabited by millions of devils held in reserve for an unknown cataclysmic battle. Asmodeus's citadel of Fortress Nessus rose far above the plain from the bottom of the rift.[2][4]
- The Serpent's Coil, the deepest rift of the layer, said to have been blasted as a result of Asmodeus's fall into the Hells. It was home to his true form as he healed from the wounds sustained by his fall. The blood shed by Asmodeus's wounds constantly sprouted new devils, perfect specimens of pit fiends and cornugons.[1][4]
- Tabjari, a citadel made of copper that stood along the walls of Reaper's Canyon. It contained one of the three copies of the Pact Primeval―the other two remaining in Mechanus and Mount Celestia.[2]
Nessus was inhabited by a majority of greater devils, including Asmodeus's legions of amnizus, pit fiends, and cornugons, among others.[2]

The phone won't mount the SD card:
"My LG phone is not mounting my SD card. I've tried everything I can to fix it, but the attempt is in vain. If reboot the phone and keep ejecting and then inserting the SD card into the phone don't help, what should I do to make the phone mount SD card properly?"
What does it mean when your SD card is mounted or unmounted
In case you get confused when receiving an error that says the SD card won't mount on a phone, camera or other digital devices which use an external memory card, there is a brief introduction of 'mounted' and 'unmounted'.
- Mounted: the card is integrated with your computer, phone or whatever and ready to use.
- Unmounted: the card isn't integrated and can safely be removed, without causing damage.
How to Fix an SD Card Won't Mount Error
As you can tell, to make a phone or a specific device to read and write data on a memory card, it has to be mounted. Typically, when you insert a card, most devices will automatically mount it. However, sometimes it may fail, so you have to choose to mount the SD card or fix the SD card manually won't mount error with other solutions.
Here, we selected the two most applied and useful methods to fix SD card won't mount problem. Please go on to learn the details.
Solution 1: Fix SD card won't mount on an Android smartphone
Prepare your micro SD card that has the mounting problem as well as an Android phone. Let's start.
Step 1: Power off your Android smartphone. Now insert the SD card into the SD card slot on the device.
Step 2: Power on the device.
Step 3: Tapping on "Settings" from the main menu and then click "SD and Phone Storage".
Step 4: Click on "Reformat". After a few seconds, the format process should accomplish. If it takes a longer time than expected, it's better to restart the phone once.
Step 5: On the same screen where you format SD card, tap on "Mount SD Card". There is a chance that the "Mount SD Card" option is unavailable, just select "Unmount SD Card" first. Wait for the card to unmount, and then tap on "Mount SD Card" again.
Solution 2: Fix SD card won't mount on a Windows PC
In most cases when an SD card is unable to be mounted on the phone, besides the poor connection and some Android software issues, it's probably that the SD card is corrupted. And, the other way to solve the mount failure problem of a micro SD card is using a third-party free partition software. It's more advanced and efficient, however, with a little risk.
Why is that? We're going to use the recommended micro SD card repair tool to format the corrupted SD card that won't mount. Formatting will erase everything on the card, so make sure you had saved a copy of the SD card contents.
Step 1: Open EaseUS Partition Master. Find your SD card and right-click the partition you want to format and choose "Format".
Step 2: Set a new partition label, file system (NTFS/FAT32/EXT2/EXT3), and cluster size to the selected partition, then click "OK".
Step 3: Click "OK" on the pop-up window to continue.
Step 4: Click the "Execute Operation" button on the toolbar, then click "Apply" to start formatting your SD card.
After formatting the memory card, now you can put it back to the Android phone. Now the SD card should be mounted by the phone automatically. If not, repeat the first method to mount it manually.

However, in order to protect your data, we suggest that you backup the partition before resizing, in case of any unexpected situations such as power outages, computer hardware failures, etc. You can use EaseUS Todo Backup to backup the partition and its trial version is fully functioned for 30 days.

On the partition that is going to be operated, there might be some files being occupied by other programs.

Re: July FourthModerator Cath Jun 30, 2012 1:37 PM (in response to LUCKIEST)
Thanks, Luckiest, for sharing how you celebrate the 4th with your employees. I would imagine it takes quite a bit of planning to get this week to move along smoothly and not to interrupt your business. I'd also be interested in knowing how you decide who will serve on the skeleton crew.
Does anyone else have plans like this in your business? If so, please tell us about it.
Re: July FourthLUCKIEST Jul 2, 2012 11:58 AM (in response to LUCKIEST)
For many, the Fourth of July is a cherished summer holiday, a time for beach trips, barbeques and fireworks.
But it's also a time to remember how our nation was born: with a simple,
yet extraordinary declaration that we are all endowed with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Many patriots then and now have fought to preserve those rights.
This is an occasion to both enjoy the freedoms they have secured for us, and to remember their bravery.
It may seem that today America faces a unique set of challenges.
But our nation faced many setbacks on its way to full independence, and it has faced many since.
Independence Day provides a timely reminder that they are nothing we haven't already experienced and overcome.
Enjoy the holiday,
Dear Clients, Friends, Lawyers, Bankers, everyone involved:
As we approach the July Fourth holiday -one of my personal favorites-
I write to all of you to explain that we take this week off so that all of us here can enjoy a week
with our families and friends at a time when many others of our countrymen are also vacationing.
We will have a skeleton crew on duty through the week to insure prompt attention to any matters of immediate concern to our clients.
Be Safe

'early publication boost for travellers'.
Greek ferry companies have given island hoppers in Greece an early Christmas present this year. They have announced their ferry scheduled for 2014 and given details of sailings between most of the popular Greek islands. The move will be welcomed by island hopping holidaymakers who can plan trips well ahead for the first time ever.
Holiday visitors have usually had to wait for May before summer ferry schedules are announced.
For years tourism professionals and travellers have complained over the late announcement of 'official' arrival and departure times of the inter island ferries which were usually never released until the start of the holiday season.
This caused real problems for those who wished to plan their island hopping holidays ahead of time.
Although schedules could often be 'guessed' at by referring to the sailing in previous seasons it was always a hot and miss affair.
Now the big ferry operators such as Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways, SeaJets and ANEK Lines have announced their routes right through to September 2014.
Aegean Speed Lines is expected to officially announce its schedules in early November and most of the remaining ferry operators are expected to follow suit over the next few weeks.
The early schedules will allows travellers to plan their trip early and so cash in on the significant lower price deals and special early booking offers that are often available for flights, hotels, ferries and other holiday packages.
For many years Greek Travel Pages (GTP) has been the main source when searching for ferry schedules across all the Greek ferry operators.
But schedules were often missing or only tentatively suggested until now. This development means that officially published schedules are uploaded onto the central reservation system and travellers can book early with much greater confidence.
The main Greek island ferry routes to be announced so far are Blue Star Ferries routes from Athens to the Dodecanese and the Cyclades islands; Hellenic Seaways high speed ferries to Chios, Nissos Mykonos and Skiathos as well as routes to the Cyclades, Crete and the North Aegean islands; SeaJets and Aegean Speed Lines routes to the Cyclades and ANEK Lines ferries to Crete.

We've really got to hand it to this year's Winter Restaurant Week participants. The menus that keep rolling out are top-notch, as well as a great value.
It would be almost impossible to attempt to try every Restaurant Week menu. So to ease your foodie anxieties and help you decide, we've selected three menus that we think sound absolutely heavenly:
🍽 Ellie's Restaurant
This menu lineup might be on the pricier side of options you'll see this week. However, with three full courses waiting — wrapping up with a sinful Coconut Buttermilk Panna Cotta — you won't have to worry about leaving dissatisfied.

>>JUST IN: Brown Street restaurant closes temporarily
🍽 Smith's Boathouse Restaurant
You will be eating LOBSTER hush puppies before you even get to the main course. So we think everyone can agree that's a pretty stellar way to kick off any meal. Not to mention, both entree choices are perfect for this colder than usual winter we've been experiencing. The grand finale is a housemade carrot cake— so yeah, you're going to be FULL. And happy.
-Lobster Hush Puppies with Muffaletta Olive Topping and herb sour cream dipping sauce
CHOICE OF ENTREE (Choose one)
-Smokey Bacon Mac n' Cheese $20.18 (Served with Boathouse salad)
