The Children's Hour

Early autumn sunshine slanted through the open doorway in golden powdery bands of light. It glossed over the ancient settle, dazzled upon the large copper plate that stood on the oak table, and touched with gentle luminosity the faded silk colours of the big, square tapestry hanging on the wall beneath the gallery. A pair of short-legged gumboots, carelessly kicked off, stood just outside on the granite paving-slab and, abandoned on the worn cushion of the settle, a willow trug waited with its cargo of string, a pair of secateurs, an old trowel and twists of paper containing precious seeds.
The tranquil stillness was emphasized by the subdued churring of the crickets, their song just audible above the murmur of the stream. Soon the sun would slip away beyond the high shoulder of the cliff, rolling down towards the sea, and long shadows would creep across the lawn. It was five o'clock: the children's hour.
The wheelchair moved out of the shadows, the rubber tyres rolling softly across the cracked mosaic floor, pausing outside the drawing-room. The occupant sat quite still, head lowered, listening to voices more than sixty years old, seeing chintzes scuffed and snagged by small feet and sandal buckles, an embroidery frame with its half-worked scene ...
Hush! Someone is telling a story. The children group about their mother: two bigger girls share the sofa with the baby propped between them; another lies upon her stomach on the floor, one raised foot kicking in the air – the only sign of barely suppressed energy – as she works at a jigsaw puzzle. Yet another child sits on a stool, close to her mother's chair, eager for the pictures that embellish the story.
'"I'll tell you a story," said the Story Spinner, "but you mustn't rustle too much, or cough or blow your nose more than is necessary ... and you mustn't pull any more curlpapers out of your hair. And when I've done you must go to sleep at once."'
Their mother's voice is as cool and musical as the stream, and just as bewitching, so that the children are lulled, familiar lands dislimning and fading as they are drawn into another world: the world of make-believe, of once upon a time.
In the hall, outside the door, Nest's eyes were closed, picturing the once-familiar scene, her ears straining to hear the long-silent words, her fingers gripping the arms of her wheelchair. The telephone bell fractured the silence, breaking the spell, a door opened and footsteps hurried along the passage. She raised her head, listening until, hearing the clang of the receiver in its rest, she turned her chair slowly so that she was able to survey the gallery. Her sister Mina came out onto the landing and stared down at her.
'At least the bell didn't wake you,' she said with relief. 'Were you going out into the garden? I could bring some tea to the summerhouse. It's still quite warm outside.'
'Who was it?' Nest was not deflected by the prospect of tea. Some deep note of warning had echoed in the silence, a feather-touch of fear had brushed her cheek, making her shiver. 'On the telephone. Was it Lyddie?'
'No, not Lyddie.' Mina's voice was bracingly cheerful, knowing how Nest was inclined to worry about the family's youngest niece. 'No, it was Helena.'
Their eldest sister's daughter had sounded uncharacteristically urgent — Helena was generally in strict control of her life — and Mina was beginning to feel a rising anxiety.
She passed along the gallery and descended the stairs. Her navy tartan trews were tucked into thick socks and her pine-green jersey was pulled and flecked with twigs. Silvery white hair fluffed about her head like a halo but her grey-green eyes were still youthful, despite their cage of fine lines. Three small white dogs scampered in her wake, their claws clattering, anxious lest they might be left behind.
'I've been pruning in the shrubbery,' she told Nest, 'and I suddenly realized how late it was getting so I came in to put the kettle on. But I got distracted looking for something upstairs.'
'I should love a cup of tea,' Nest realized that she must follow Mina's lead, 'but I think it's too late for the summerhouse. The sun will be gone. Anyway, it's too much fuss, carrying it all out. Let's have it in the drawing-room.'
'Good idea.' Mina was clearly relieved. 'I shan't be two minutes. The kettle must be boiling its head off.'
She hurried away across the hall, her socks whispering over the patterned tiles, the Sealyhams now running ahead, and Nest turned her chair and wheeled slowly into the drawing-room. It was a long narrow room with a fireplace at one end and a deep bay window at the other.
'Such a silly shape,' says Ambrose to his young wife when she inherits the house just after the Great War. 'Hardly any room to get around the fire.'
'Room enough for the two of us,' answers Lydia, who loves Ottercombe House almost as much as she loves her new, handsome husband. 'We shall be able to come down for holidays. Oh, darling, what heaven to be able to get out of London.'
It was their daughter, Mina, who, forty years later, rearranged the room, giving it a summer end and a winter end. Now, comfortable armchairs and a small sofa made a semicircle around the fire whilst a second, much larger, sofa, its high back to the rest of the room, faced into the garden. Nest paused beside the french window looking out to the terrace with its stone urns, where a profusion of red and yellow nasturtiums sprang up between the paving slabs and tumbled down the grassy bank to the lawn below.
'We'll be making toast on the fire soon.' Mina was putting the tray on the low table before the sofa, watched by attentive dogs. 'No, Boyo, sit down. Right down. Good boy. There's some cake left and I've brought the shortbread.'
Nest manoeuvred her chair into the space beside the sofa, shook her head at the offer of cake and accepted her tea gratefully. 'So what did our dear niece want?'
Mina sank into the deep cushions of the sofa, unable to postpone the moment of truth any longer. She did not look at Nest in her chair but gazed out of the window, beyond the garden, to the wooded sides of the steep cleave. Two of the dogs had already settled on their beanbags in the bay window but the third jumped onto the sofa and curled into a ball beside her mistress. Mina's hand moved gently over the warm, white back.
'She wanted to talk about Georgie,' she said. 'Helena says that she can't be trusted to live alone any longer. She's burned out two kettles in the last week and yesterday she went off for a walk and then couldn't remember where she was. Someone got hold of Helena at the office and she had to drop everything to go and sort her out. Poor old Georgie was very upset.'
'By getting lost or at the sight of her daughter?' Nest asked the question lightly – but she watched Mina carefully, knowing that something important was happening.
Mina chuckled. 'Helena does rather have that effect on people,' she admitted. 'The thing is that she and Rupert have decided that Georgie will have to go into a residential nursing home. They've been talking about it for a while and have found a really good one fairly locally. They can drive to it quite easily, so Helena says.'
'And what does Georgie say about it?'
'Quite a lot, apparently. If she has to give up her flat she can't see why she can't live with them. After all, it's a big place and both the children are abroad now. She's fighting it, naturally.'
'Naturally,' agreed Nest. Although, personally, if it came to a choice between living with Rupert and Helena or in a residential home I know which I'd choose. But why is Helena telephoning us about it? She doesn't usually keep us informed about our sister's activities. Not that Georgie is much of a communicator either. Not unless she has a problem, anyway.'
'I think Helena has tried quite hard to keep Georgie independent, and not just because it makes it easier for her and Rupert,' Mina was trying to be fair, 'but if she needs supervision they can't just leave her at their place alone. Anyway, the reason for her telephone call is to say that the home can't take Georgie just now, and would we have her here for a short stay?'
Nest thought: Why do I feel so fearful? Georgie's my sister. She's getting old. What's the matter with me?
She swallowed some tea and set the mug back in its saucer, cradling it on her knee, trying not to ask: 'How long is a "short stay"?'
'What did you tell Helena?' she asked instead.
'I said we'd talk it over,' answered Mina. 'After all, this is your home as much as mine. Do you think we could cope with Georgie for a month or two?'
A month or two. Nest battled with her sense of panic. 'Since it would be you who would be doing most of the coping,' she answered evasively, 'how do you feel about it?'
'I expect I could manage. What I feel is,' Mina paused, took a deep breath, 'or, at least, what I think I feel is that we should give it a try.' She looked at her sister. 'But I suspect that you're not happy about it.' She hesitated. 'Or frightened of it? Something, anyway.' She didn't press the point but stroked Polly Garter's head instead, crumbling a little of her shortcake and feeding her a tiny piece. Nogood Boyo was up from his beanbag in a flash, standing beside her, tail wagging hopefully. She passed him a crumb and in a moment all three dogs were beside her on the sofa.
'You're hopeless.' Nest watched her affectionately as Mina murmured to her darlings. 'Utterly hopeless. But, yes, you're right. I've been feeling odd all day. Hearing voices, remembering things. I have this presentiment that something awful might happen. A hollow sensation in my stomach.' She laughed a little. 'But this is probably just a coincidence. After all, I can't think why poor old Georgie should be cast as a figure of doom, can you?'
She leaned forward to place her mug and saucer on the tray and then glanced at Mina, surprised at her lack of response. Her sister was staring into the garden, preoccupied, frowning slightly For a brief moment she looked all of her seventy-four years, and Nest's anxiety deepened.
'Your expression isn't particularly reassuring,' she said. 'Is there something I don't know about Georgie after all these years?'
'No, no.' Mina recovered her composure. 'Let's have some more tea, shall we? No, I'm simply wondering if I can cope with Georgie, that's all. I'm only a year younger. Rather like the halt leading the blind, wouldn't you say?'
'No, I wouldn't,' answered Nest sharply, not particularly comforted by Mina's reply. 'You don't burn out kettles or go for walks and forget where you are.'
'Just as well.' Mina began to laugh. 'There wouldn't be anyone to find me up on Trentishoe Down.' A pause. 'What made you think it was Lyddie?'
'Lyddie?' Nest looked at her quickly. 'How d'you mean?'
'The phone call. You asked if it were Lyddie. Has she been part of this presentiment you've had all day?'
'No.' Nest shook her head, grimacing as she tried to puzzle it out. 'It's difficult to explain. More like a very strong awareness of the past, remembering scenes, that kind of thing.' She hesitated. 'Sometimes I'm not certain if it's what I actually do remember or if it's what I've been told. You were always telling me stories, interpreting the world for me. Giving people names of characters in books. Well, you still do that, of course.'
Mina smiled. 'Such fun,' she said, 'although a little bit tricky when you called Enid Goodenough "Lady Sneerwell" to her face. Poor Mama was horrified. I was praying that Enid hadn't a clue what you were talking about. Still, it was a sticky moment.'
'It was fright,' Nest excused herself, laughing at the memory, 'coming upon her unexpectedly after everything you'd said about her.'
'Lady Sneerwell and Sir Benjamin Backbite. What a poisonous pair the Goodenoughs were.' Other memories were connected with this thought and Mina bent to stroke Nogood Boyo, her face momentarily grim.
'I was remembering the stories,' Nest was saying, 'earlier when I was crossing the hall. I was thinking of us all down the years. Sitting on the sofa listening to Naughty Sophia and Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates. Do you remember?'
'And A Christmas Carol on Christmas Eve while we decorated the tree. How could I forget? So. Not Lyddie, then?'
'Not particularly. At least, I don't think so.'
'Good.' Mina fed Captain Cat the final piece of shortbread and dusted the crumbs from her knees. 'So what do we do about Georgie? Are we up to it? Perhaps we should ask Lyddie what she thinks about it?'
'Why not? Let's clear up first, though.'
'Good idea. By then she'll have finished work for the day and we won't be interrupting her.' Mina put the tea things onto the tray and, with the dogs at her heels, crossed the hall to the kitchen, Nest wheeling more slowly behind her.CHAPTER 2
Lyddie made a final note on the typescript, fastened the sheets of the chapter into a paperclip and leaned both arms on the desk, hunching her narrow shoulders. Black silky hair, layered into a shiny mop, curved and flicked around her small, sweet face: ivory-skinned with a delicately pointed chin. Dressed warmly in a cloudy-soft mohair tunic, which reached almost to the knees of her moleskin jeans, nevertheless she was chilly. Her tiny study, the back bedroom, was cold, the light dying away, and she was longing for exercise. The large dog, crammed into the space between her desk and the door, raised his head to look at her.
'Your moment just might have come,' she told him. 'You just might get a walk. A quick one.'
The Bosun – a Bernese Mountain dog – stood up, tail waving expectantly, and Lyddie inched round her desk and bent to kiss him on the nose. He had been named, after consultation with her Aunt Mina, for Byron's favourite dog, Boatswain, whose inscription on the monument to him at Newstead – 'beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of Man without his vices' – was particularly apt for his namesake, at least so Lyddie believed.
'You are very beautiful,' she told him, 'and good. Come on, then, and careful on the stairs. You nearly had us both down yesterday.'
They descended together and he waited patiently whilst she collected a long, warm, wool jacket and thrust her feet into suede ankle boots. As they walked through the narrow alleys and streets that led into the lanes behind Truro, Lyddie's attention was concentrated on keeping the Bosun under restraint until, freed at last from the restrictions of the town, he was released from the lead. She watched him dash ahead, smiling to herself at his exuberance, remembering the adorable fluffy puppy that had been waiting downstairs for her on the morning of her first wedding anniversary: a present from Liam.
'You need company,' he'd said, watching her ecstatic reaction with amusement. 'Working away up there, alone all day while I'm at the wine bar.'
It was just over two years since she'd given up her job as an editor with a major publishing house in London, married Liam and moved to Truro, to live in his small terraced house not far from the wine bar that he ran with his partner, Joe Carey. It was a trendy bar, near the cathedral, not sufficiently prosperous to employ enough staff to enable her and Liam to spend many evenings alone together. Usually he was at home for what he called the 'graveyard watch' – the dead hours between three o'clock and seven – but this week one of the staff was away on holiday and Liam was taking his shift. It made a very long day.
'Come in as soon as you've finished,' he'd said, 'otherwise I'll see nothing of you. Sorry, love, but it can't be helped.'
Oddly, she didn't object to going to The Place; sitting at the table reserved for staff in the little snug, watching the clients and joking with Joe; eating some supper and snatching moments with Liam.
'No fertilizer like the farmer's boots,' Liam would say. 'We have to be around for most of the time. The punters like it and the staff know where they are. It's the secret of its success even if it means irregular hours.'
She never minded, though. After the silence and concentration of a day's copy-editing she found the buzz in The Place just what she needed. Liam's passionate courtship had come as a delightful, confidence-boosting shock after a three-year relationship with a man who'd suddenly decided that he simply couldn't commit to the extent of he and Lyddie buying a house together or having children, and certainly not to marriage. James had accepted the offer of a job in New York and Lyddie had continued to live alone for nearly a year, until she'd met Liam, after which her life had begun to change very rapidly. She'd missed her job and her friends, and the move had been a frightening rupture from all that she'd known, but she loved Liam far too much to question her decision – and her darling old aunts were not much more than two hours away, over on Exmoor.

Two of the new employees come from customer review site Yelp.
Comparison shopping site TheFind.com has hired two executives who helped build Yelp, a site where consumers review all kinds of businesses, from restaurants to bike shops. The site also has hired a spokeswoman.
Nish Nadaraja joins TheFind as marketing director, a role similar to his job at Yelp, the comparison shopping site says. Nadaraja will oversee marketing along with TheFind's online community and social commerce efforts.
Michael Ernst becomes creative director, charged with what TheFind says is "developing a sophisticated digital aesthetic for the brand to match its engineering ingenuity."
TheFind also has hired Alison Deyette as spokeswoman and the site's resident savvy shopper. She will not only help promote the site but share shopping, fashion and lifestyle advice with site visitors. Deyette has written for national newspapers and magazines and worked as a runway producer, fashion director and stylist, TheFind says.
"With 25 million unique monthly visitors, TheFind is easily the most active shopping engine most people still haven't heard of, and Nish, Michael and Alison are going to help us change that," says Siva Kumar, co-founder and CEO of TheFind. "Heading into the holidays and 2011, we have built a superior resource for all shoppers, and our new consumer marketing team is responsible for making every visitor's experience memorable and repeatable."

The Art of Collaboration: from Sheets to the streets
July 19, 2016
[Cross-posted from the
Official Google Blog
Warhol & Basquiat. Buñuel & Dalí. Rauschenberg & Johns. There are countless examples of artists collaborating to bring a shared creative vision to life. So we wondered: Could technology help bring together two artists who might not otherwise meet? What would they create…if their canvas were a spreadsheet? And how could we celebrate and share their work of art with the world?
In partnership with
, a lifestyle digital media company, we linked up with renowned illustrators
Marina Esmeraldo
in Barcelona, and
Mallory Heyer
in NYC. We gave them a simple creative assignment—to "break the grid"—which literally can mean pushing the "grid" of Google Sheets to its limits, but also taps into the idea of supporting and celebrating women globally who break free of confined roles and ways of thinking, which is core to Refinery29's mission.
Marina and Mallory connected a handful of times on Google Hangouts to plan and sketch out ideas, and creatively "hack" Sheets in order to make art: resizing cells into thousands of pixel-like squares, merging cells to create color blocks, creating vibrant color gradients with
conditional formatting
and cell values, and other cool things we had no idea you could do with Sheets.
was a bright, beautiful design that celebrates the diversity and strength of women, and we wanted to share their finished project in a BIG way.
The final step was to convert Marina and Mallory's final piece from the cells of a spreadsheet to the bricks of a giant wall—to go from Sheets to the streets. So, we turned to
Colossal Media
, a Brooklyn-based company that hand-paints murals all over the world.
After hand-mixing each of the colors and prepping the artwork for large-scale painting, Colossal spent five days painting each cell, letter, and gradient by hand, to create a 13' x 34' mural of the
. And that's how art was #madewithGoogleSheets.
To see it for yourself, check out Marina & Mallory's spreadsheet or head to
Bogart & Thames
in Brooklyn to visit the wall in person (until August 14). We're delighted by the creativity and imagination brought about by artistic collaboration, and proud to be associated with the work's inspirational message supporting strong women everywhere.

Give feedback faster with Quizzes in Google Forms
June 29, 2016
(Cross-posted on the
Google for Education blog
Editor's note:
On Monday, we
four new ways to help teachers engage their classes using Google tools. In this post, we'll dive deeper into one of these tools:
Quizzes in Google Forms
. If you are at ISTE in Denver, visit us at booth #2511 in the expo hall to learn more and demo our new tools.
Educators have told us that collecting feedback earlier in the learning process results in better outcomes for both teachers and students. But they've also shared that creating assessments and providing feedback can lead to hours of repetitive grading.
Dr. Ismael Piedra, a professor at the Instituto Technologico de Monterrey, for example, used "exit tickets" after his lectures to check student comprehension. But his attempts at gathering quick feedback would often result in 300 quizzes to grade and hours of work.
After months of pilots with educators like Dr. Piedra, we launched
Quizzes in Google Forms
on Monday to help teachers quickly create, deliver and grade assignments or assessments. With Quizzes, teachers can select correct answers for multiple choice and checkbox questions to reduce repetitive grading. They can also enter explanations and review materials to help students learn. And to make sure students understand the lesson material, teachers can prevent students from sending themselves a copy of their responses.
Nick Marchese, a music and programming teacher at the Berkeley Carroll School in Brooklyn, uses Quizzes in Google Forms to adapt his teaching throughout the learning process. "Quizzes help me optimize my teaching," he explains. "After students take a quiz, I can check the summary of responses to see frequently missed questions and a visual representation of student scores. If I see there's a question that a lot of students got wrong, then we start the next class by reviewing it." Nick says that students love the immediate feedback they get while he loves how Quizzes can "automatically check multiple-choice questions and reduce time devoted to grading."
Effie Kleinberg of Bnei Akiva Schools in Toronto, likes that Quizzes reduce the overhead of giving formative assessments. "Quizzes make it quick and easy to create and grade a student assessment," he says. Effie posts his Quizzes as assignments in
Google Classroom
, where he is easily able to keep track of student responses and view results. Students receive quick, actionable feedback though explanations and review materials, without requiring Effie to manually grade each quiz.
We made Quizzes available to all Google Forms users so we can continue improving based on your feedback. Tasks like automating repetitive grading are just the beginning, so we look forward to hearing what you think. Get started by
your first quiz today!

New ways to keep data flowing between your apps and ours
May 18, 2016
Cross-posted from the
Google Apps Developers Blog
There was a time when office work used to be all about pushing physical paper. Computing and productivity tools have made things better, but workers still find themselves doing the same tasks over and over across the different apps they use: copying and pasting from a CRM app to a slide presentation, or manually exporting data from a project management app just to turn around and import it back into a spreadsheet. It's the digital equivalent of pushing paper.
To make it easier to get the job done across multiple apps, without all the copy and paste, we're announcing three new APIs and a new feature to help workers get to the data they need, when and where they need it.
Build seamless integrations with the new Sheets and Slides APIs
Our new APIs let developers connect their apps—and the data within them—more deeply with Google Sheets and Google Slides.
The new Sheets API gives developers programmatic access to powerful features in the Sheets web and mobile interfaces, including charts and pivot tables. For example, developers can use Sheets as part of a rich workflow that pushes data from their app into Sheets and allows users to collaborate on that data before the updated data is pulled back into the original app, removing altogether the need to copy and paste.
Teams at
, and
SAP Anywhere
are already building interesting integrations with the new Sheets API. Check out the video below to see an overview of what's possible as well as several example integrations.
Partner integrations with the new Google Sheets API
The new Sheets API is available today. Find the developer documentation as well as a codelab to help you get started at
Similar to the Sheets API, the new Slides API gives developers programmatic access to create and update presentations. For example, developers can use this API to push data and charts into Slides to create a polished report from source data in other application, ready to present.
are all building integrations with Slides using the new API. Several examples of what's possible are in the video below.
Partner integrations with the new Google Slides API
The Slides API will be launching in the coming months, and these partner integrations will be available soon after. You can sign up for early access to the Slides API at
Keep your data in sync with the new Classroom API
For developers building tools and workflows for schools, the Classroom API has launched new coursework endpoints to help you build stronger integrations that keep your data in sync. Read the full announcement on the Google for Education blog,
Sync assignments & grades programmatically with the Google Classroom API
Say goodbye to stale data with linked charts
Finally, to make sure we can help keep all this data flowing seamlessly from app to app, users can now also embed linked charts from Sheets into Docs or Slides. The result? Once the underlying data in a spreadsheet changes, whether that change comes from an action taken in another app via the API or a collaborator, an updated chart in the corresponding presentation or document is just one click away.
Linked charts allow for easy updates in Docs & Slides
For more information, see how to add a chart
to a document
to a presentation
We can't wait to see what you build.

Talk with your audience—not at them—with Slides Q&A
May 4, 2016
Public speaking can be intimidating—even for veteran speakers with phenomenal ideas and experiences to share. Take Shree Bose, for example.
At just 17 years old, Shree took home the top prize at the first ever
Google Science Fair
her research
on drug resistance in ovarian cancer. Now, a senior at Harvard, she's met with President Obama twice, crowdfunded a Minecraft computer program to support STEM education, and has given talks across the globe. But she still gets nervous every time she's asked to speak at events.
When Shree recently visited our New York office to present to 200 middle school students, we invited her to try a new feature in
Google Slides
: Slides Q&A. This update—rolling out globally today—helps speakers connect with their audience and collect real-time feedback. With a simple link displayed on a Slides presentation, audience members can submit questions from their phones, laptops, and tablets—and vote on those they want answered the most.
Hear what your audience has to say
Slides Q&A is great for audience members, too. During Shree's talk, students submitted more than 170 questions and voted 800 times. They enjoyed being able to submit questions online the moment they thought of them instead of having to remember them until the end of the presentation. Some students also chose to submit questions anonymously.
At the end of her talk, Shree left time for Q&A, but she couldn't possibly answer all 170 questions. So, she sorted the questions based on audience votes—and responded to the top ones. The question with the most overall votes was submitted by a seventh grader named Leila. She says, "I was so surprised when I saw my question was the most liked. I probably wouldn't want to stand up and ask the question because I'm kind of shy."
Focus on your ideas, not set up
Slides Q&A makes it easy to interact with your audience—without having to worry about mics or moderators. Slides also helps you get your
big ideas and stories on screen
—without having to worry about wires or set up stress. Starting today, we're improving this "Show up, don't setup" experience in two ways:
You can now present your slides to a Hangout from your iPhone or iPad. So with just your phone or tablet and the Slides app, you can present to any screen using Chromecast, AirPlay or Hangouts.
And for those of you who like presenting from a computer, we're introducing a new
laser pointer
on the web. Just in time for May the 4th (be with you).
Today's Slides updates are rolling out globally on
, and the
. So go on, share your stories and present with confidence.
And for a little inspiration, check out Shree's full talk, #HowCanWe Make the World Better with Science? on the

Stay on task with today's updates in Google Keep
April 20, 2016
How many times have you found yourself with a great idea, but no easy way to jot it down for later? Or maybe you've got lots of notes scattered around, without no central spot to find them. Having a single place to capture what's on your mind and save your ideas and to-do lists is what
Google Keep
is all about, and today's updates give you a few new ways to collect and manage the information that's important to you.
Keep is ready when you are
The next time you're on a website that you want to remember or reference later on, use the new
Keep Chrome extension
to add it—or any part of it—to a note in Keep. Just click the Keep badge to add a site's link to a note, or select some text or an image and create a new note from the right-click menu.
Same goes for
—you can now create a note while you're browsing or tapping away in other apps—without having to open Keep. Just open the "Share via" window and choose Keep to create a new note.
Organize your thoughts with #Labels
One of your top asks has been for a way to organize and categorize notes, and now it's as easy as using a #hashtag. This should help you keep track of to-do lists for a #trip or a collect your favorite #recipes, for example.
You'll also notice that some of the menus have been moved around to group similar options together, as pictured below.
So whether you're researching a project at work, putting together details for your
Science Fair
submission, or collecting inspiration for your upcoming home renovation, give these updates a try on the
, or with the Keep app on
and for

Matthew Hendershot
captures the process, and edits the footage into its final form.
2015 had us in 5 locations around the country producing a version of our series called "Songs of the Road," as well as returning to SXSW 2015 to work with 3 more artists. You can see all those episodes at SongCraft Presents or at our
YouTube channel
How does Google Docs fit into the Songcraft process?
We have been using Google Docs since its inception both individually and in various work relationships. Al and Mike started using Docs at Dubway Studios as a way to share information amongst both fulltime and part-time staff. The studio business has a lot of moving parts, and the ability to post forms showing what a producer or engineer needed for upcoming sessions, and that the support staff can look at for setup greatly streamlined the process. Last minute changes become less of a hassle.
As part of our "Songs of the Road" series, we had staff coming from all different locations around the country. We share all the data for our shoots - locations, contacts, directions, call times, etc - and keep everything up to date as it changes. All the staff members using their smartphones and Google Docs apps are able to log in and get or input any updates as needed on the fly. As we add staff, we just share access with them according to their needs.
What are 3 tips you'd give for other folks who use/would consider using Google Docs?
Using the "Comments" function in real time is a great way to be able to make edits and give and take feedback about them with the rest of the members of your team.
Share documents with the "View" function for those people who you do not want to give login access to, but want to share information with.
Organize your folders and color code to more easily find documents across multiple projects in Drive.

Ok, I probably should check out that other "symptoms" thread that was posted here to see if anyone else mentioned this but here goes. It's a highly strange sensation that I'm noticing with more & more frequency & I have, till now, only told two People. I have the sensation of looking out of my eyes but it's like it's something I'm inside, maybe like an "Avitar", if that helps anyone picture it. Is this a sensation anyone else has experienced, this feeling of...hmmm...disconnect, for lack of a better word? It's very strange & I've stopped fighting it & being "wierded out" by it & yet I still feel/sense it. Very strange indeed.
remjr1 219210
Yes I have that quite often,never brought it up because I didn't think people would understand. Its like you're in use of a body at times and you can tell YOUR true thoughts over your day to day persona. Very strange as this has become more frequent over the last 3 to 4 weeks. Nice to know i'm not the only one losing it.lol
My days honestly have become so strange I don't know how to explain it. My employees at work can tell somethings up because I used to be very outgoing and overtalkative(probably not a word), now I really have no desire to talk about the mundane,football,sports in general,day to day things. I honestly have little desire for anything that used to be my life,except my kids and I've taken up painting again,which is strange but I greatly enjoy it. Music has become important again also, so many things I haven't had time for in the past.
I'm quite sure some "shrink" would say we are all nuts because of the above but I too think it is just a transition we are going through so that we might be more spiritually evolved humans. Jesus said we would do more than him. God is within each and everyone of us, can you imagine what that truly means? We are to keep the temple of God pure (our body and mind). Get it?
Did you know YOU - each and everyone of YOU - are a lighthouse to the world?

Staff was great
The mattresses weren't 100% but good for the price.
The room was obviously updated recently and everything was very clean. The staff was very polite and even gave us suggestions of where to eat.
The beds weren't the best. They were comfortable enough but weren't my favorite. The showers water pressure was okay but the water did at least get hot. Also, there was a draft coming under the front door and we had to stick a blanket in front of it.
Pool, breakfast and staff, parking, wifi
There was left over garbage under the beds in the rooms.
For the money it was best
Little away from the recreational area
Very clean and a friendly atmosphere. The pool was at a great temperature the while family enjoyed.
Locality, conveniuence tio IU-80
Youngsters running up and down the hallway at all hours.
Good spot for quick layover
Furniture outdated and appeared in poor condition
No continental brekfast for cree.
It was conveniently located.
The door to the cabin and the bathroom windows were missing curtains, no privacy.The bed spread and carpet has seen better days. They looked dirty. The bath shower curtain was too small and it was only for decoration, water went out. No bathroom rugs.
Room was very roomy.
Skytop Lodge is historic and filled with class. The grounds are beautiful, there are a variety of indoor and outdoor activities, the staff is courteous, and the overall operations of the establishment are smoothly run. The main lodge has a lot of history so don't expect a modern building with contemporary decor. That said, we found our standard room elegantly decorated, comfortable, very clean, and equipped with a spacious bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. We visited during the week at a relatively less crowded time I presume, and we really enjoyed having fewer guests around.
One front desk staff member seemed newer and not very knowledgeable with a few of our questions, but he tried to help and was courteous nonetheless. That's a minor point. Also, the front desk made a significant billing error upon my checkout...but quickly corrected it after I noticed and pointed it out. I didn't have a perfect experience with the staff, but they were friendly and willing to help which were overall positive points and outweighed the shortcomings for me.
Organized, clean, beautiful, many activities.
All restaurants were not open during stay. Host at Windsor restaurant was a bit rude when setting us and toward me when I asked him a question.
Staff was extremely friendly and upgraded our room upon arrival. Perfect for a weekend getaway. 15 minutes from casino and Camelback. Great drinks at their bar and great food. There is a restaurant across from the hotel that has amazing food. If you just want to get away and not have to worry about planning and traveling all over this is the place. We will definitely be back. Its a great little secret spot.
No late check out option.
Proximity to work
Dirty rooms. Need upgrading
Nothing at all
My room was dirty and had bed bugs ! plus I had a very unpleasant time it was boring nothing to do unless you go there to gamble or play gulf .Not suitable for a family with small children you have to be escorted everywhere the restaurants are located in the casino and you can't enter unless someone escorts you to and from,so that becomes very annoying
Convenient fairly priced
Starbucks is on the other side of hotel. Need security escort for children to go eat or Starbucks being casino is in the middle and also the restaurant are there as well. I just went to the outside to eat during my stay.
Overall no complaints
The shower temp it was hot one second and cold the next. Not consistent and cell service was not that great. But what can you do
I wish we could have stayed longer. Next time we stay it will be an extended stay. Great place for the price..
Beautiful location in the Poconos
Historic, rustic feel
Green initiatives
Comfortable bed
Golf course
Room wasn't well cleaned(Laurel Lodge)
Service in the bar wasn't attentive
Front desk at spa had no interest in giving us a tour or explaining services
Need larger/better staffed counter selling personal items (didn't have a toothbrush)
Wedding was going on during our stay and we were very clearly not a priority of the hotel
The quite peaceful relaxing mood
Villas are separate little units that aren't connected so no worries of being kept up by loud neighbors. Themed rooms are a nice change from the usual bed and bath hotels that are everywhere.
Mold for days in the shower and jacuzzi. Bring your own cleaning supplies if you want a little peace of mind for your own personal hygiene. Each restock of towels seems to be riddled with mystery stains of all colors. Highly recommend checking towels before grabbing one to wrap or dry yourself with.
Nice TV, good channels, good wifi,comfy bed.
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

The results of multipath power delay profile measurements of 900-MHz mobile radio channels in Washington, DC, Greenbelt, MD, Oakland, CA, and San Francisco, CA, are presented. The measurements have focused on acquiring worst-case profiles for typical operating locations. The data reveal that at over 98% of the measured locations, root mean square (RMS) delay spreads are less than 12 μs. Urban areas typically have RMS delay spreads on the order of 2-3 μs and continuous multipath power out to excess delays of 5 μs. In hilly residential areas and in open areas within a city, RMS delay spreads are slightly larger, typically having values of 5-7 μs. In very rare instances, reflections from city skylines and mountains can cause RMS delay spreads in excess of 20 μs.

Last night I attended Valhalla, the kick-off production of Essential Theatre's 10th anniversary season of local and world premiere plays. Valhalla was kind of an odd duck, juxtaposing the life of Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria (Topher Payne) with an impulsive, gay Texan (Matt Felten) in the 1930s and 1940s. Playwright Paul Rudnick tends to be something of a one-liner machine, so the play's relentless quippiness at times concealed its more complex ideas. It reminds me of the joke in Raising Arizona that was called a "way-homer," "because you only get it on the way home." I'll have more to say about Valhalla later.
For such a small theater company, Essential is particularly proactive about using the viral video powers of the Internet. Just like last year, Essential Theatre's web site presents video previews (mostly interview-based) for its three shows running in repertory: the time-shifting comedy Valhalla; the crime-and-celebrity drama After Ashley by Gina Gionfriddo (opening July 2); and West of Eden, a comedy about Adam and Eve at middle age by Letitia Sweitzer (opening July 8). Here's the clip for Valhalla; for the others, just click on the titles.

In a display of ambition that seems positively, well, Shakespearean, The New American Shakespeare Tavern has announced that it will stage 15 plays between this August and next June for its 2008-2009 season. That's a staggeringly busy schedule for a company that has no second stage, requiring constant performance.
In prior years the Tavern has staged "August Three-peat" repertory remounts of shows from earlier in the year, a concept tweaked for Two Months of Four Plays, with this August seeing returns of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), Much Ado About Nothing, Twelfth Night and King John. (I reviewed the 2006 production of Complete here).
After Antony and Cleopatra in October, the Tavern stages the rarely-seen threesome of Henry VI, Parts I, II and III. Incidentally, I happened to see Artistic Director Jeffrey Watkins at Essential Theatre's Valhalla last night, and asked him if they considered including Richard III with the Henry plays, since it's basically a sequel to or conclusion of that cycle. Watkins said that they did, but that four plays would be too demanding to put on essentially all at once, but that in the 2009-2010 season, the Tavern might stage Richard III and bring the Henry VIs back.
We've got a ton of free passes to see tonight's screening of Gonzo: The Life and Work of Hunter S. Thompson, which I review in the next issue, at Landmark Midtown Art Cinema. (Hint: I likey.) Just email me at email@example.com. One huge caveat: The promoters of these screenings always encourage folks to get there early, as these passes don't guarantee admittance, and they're often over-booked. Just FYI. You can pick up the passes at the front desk of our offices in the Northyards office complex. (Use Google maps; it's most reliable for directions. Call 404-688-5623 if you get lost.) We close our doors at 5 p.m. sharp.
Also, check out Cliff Bostock's excellent tribute to Hunter S. Thompson on the occasion of the journalist's passing back in 2005, in his "Headcase" column. And here's the official trailer

SILVER APPLES emerged from New York in 1967 with a rhythmic sound that was too revolutionary for the times. Forty years later, the name still carries a lot of weight among music heads who have an ear for true genius. Silver Apples opted for oscillators rather than guitars. And with these futuristic tools the group surfs the sine waves, carving out deep, psychedelic grooves that are as addictive today as they were when Bob Dylan and the Beatles were young men. The show Mon., JUNE 30, offers a rare live performance from a group that changed the world of electronic music. $12. 9:30 p.m. The Earl, 488 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-522-3950. www.badearl.com.

Atlanta folk music duo Rising Appalachia has cheerfully woven topics of cultural evolution and fusion into its music, bringing the message around the world with its aural globe trotting. Siblings Leah and Chloe Smith take a more direct approach to encouraging themes of social evolution and responsibility when they host the third annual CONCRETE PANDEMONIUM Sun., JUNE 29. Billed as an "urban throwdown," the topsy-turvy evening features a genre-bucking combination of local art and activism in an earnest attempt to bring the two together in a happy, and hopefully not short-lived, marriage. Scheduled appearances include spoken-word artists Theresa Davis and Stefen Miko of Art Amuk, the Atlanta Circus Art Community, Feminist Outlawz, Alternate Roots, a recycled-fabric fashion show and more. 9 p.m. $5-$25. Eyedrum Art & Music Gallery, 290 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Suite 8. 404-522-0655. www.eyedrum.org.

It's been half a decade since R. Land's last major promenade in the public arena, but the multimedia painter, sculptor and illustrator returns Sat., JUNE 28, with SUMMERLAND, a new passel of outlandish images in the heart of Little Five Points. Land's thumbprint has been heavy in Atlanta's hipper ZIP codes his signature grotesqueries have delivered the one-two punch to diners' eyeballs at El Myr and to revelers at Buckhead's Tongue and Groove. The current show, in the now unnamed former Soul Kiss building at 1154 Euclid Ave., promises more R. Land faves, as well as a slate of collaborative works. He's not spilling the beans on exactly who he'll bring on, but former collaborators have included graffiti artist Hense, the Rev. Howard Finster and the East Atlanta Kids Club. Music and a souvenir shop complete the mix. Through July 31. $5. Opening reception, 8 p.m.; Sat.-Sun., noon-6 p.m.; Mon.-Fri., by appointment only. 1154 Euclid Ave. 404-525-0905. www.rlandart.com.

Sunday offers us the first-ever Georgia Author Book Bash, presented by Atlanta magazine and the Literary Center of the Margaret Mitchell House. The event will take place from 4-7 p.m. at the Margaret Mitchell House. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 members. Guests can schmooze with the LL (local literati) on the front lawn and wrestle them to the grass for an autograph. There'll be hors d'oeuvres, live jazz (as opposed to dead jazz) and a cash bar.
One question: How the hell is anyone going to be able to meet and greet 50 authors, much less get their John Hancock on their books? Good luck trying.
The Big 50 in attendance is about as impressive a list of local authors as you'll find this side of the AJC Decatur Book Festival, and even then. The names are so obvious and familiar, I'm almost embarrassed to mention them although it does give me an excuse to provide cool hyperlinks to coverage of several of them. For example, there's former CL Fiction Contest judges Joshilyn Jackson and David Fulmer, as well as Mike Luckovich, Bill Osinski, Ferrol Sams, Goldie Taylor and Tina McElroy Ansa. And of course there's CL's own Hollis Gillespie, whose new book, Trailer Trashed: My Dubious Efforts Toward Upward Mobility, is due out Aug. 1.
It's also a chance to check out our sleeper pick, Gay and Lesbian Atlanta, by Wesley Chenault and Stacy Braukman of the Atlanta History Center for Arcadia Publishing's "Images of America" series. It's quite the trip down memory lane, broken down into four chapters/epochs: "Unconventional Lives and Ambiguous Identities: 1900-1940," "Quiet Accommodation: 1940-1970," "Parties, Politics, and Pride: 1970-1990" and "Collective Power and Culture Wars: 1990-2000." Nice way to get in some infotainment before next week's Atlanta Pride.

Well is it easy to retire early if you are not financial geniuses?
Yah--And after you're gone they'll sooth their sorrows in Hawaii or The French Riviera looking for a place to dump your ashes instead of buying that nice coffin you always wanted or worse yet buy two plots at the local pet cemetary next to Fluffy--
And they will pick out your nursing home, if needed !! LOL
>>> Can you retire early? <<<
Yeah, you can. Here's how:
Pay yourself first.
1. Put 6% of your money into the company's 401k.
2. Max out a ROTH IRA. This year you can tuck away $4,500 year for yourself, $4,500 for your spouse.
3. Go back to the 401k and put as much money as you can into it.
All the money put into the ROTH and the 401k are given favorable tax treatments. Allow this money to ride and multiply itself. When (and if) enough time passes you will become rich enough to retire to a life of leisure.
The trick, of course, is to learn to spend less than what you make. Save half of your raises, all of your overtime. Allow the passage of time work for you.
>>>>>>>Yeah, you can. Here's how:
Marv, I can only add 1 thing because I practice all stated.
Grow your own food!
You know what you're eating. NO GMO.
It actually has nutrients.
You get exercise.
You save buttloads of $$$$$.
You are very wise!! I did what you said (except I funnelled all raises I received into my 401K after turning 35) and am retired and lovin' life........great advice 4 young folks!
Many people think of retiring early until they see a financial advisor and then their jaw drops. It's not too hard to retire for about 10 years but having enough money for the long haul so as not to be broke in those later years takes much more than one might realize. For a person in their 50's and in good health will need today close to a million in cash if they don't want to spend their retirement looking out the window. Inflation and taxes will eat up a decent chunk of that money. See a good advisor, have them run the numbers, you'll be surprised. Stats show the average baby-boomer has less than 55,000 put away for retirement--those folks will be in for a rude surprise before they know it since most don't have pensions.
>>>>>>For a person in their 50's and in good health will need today close to a million in cash if they don't want to spend their retirement looking out the window. Inflation and taxes will eat up a decent chunk of that money.
I've said that very thing to many who are still spending, puffing, eating & drinking their way to disaster. Someone on this board stated, "you don't want to run out of money before you run out of breath." So true!
I can tell you from Experience, that what you say is 100% true, as I have seen it in my peer group Over & Over.... I Happily Retired at 54, & because of Proper Planning, I hope to never have to look back...
The only thing I would add to your 'needing a million', is the fact that if you have a steady income stream (pension, interest, etc.,) then the Million (saved) Is Not A Necessity, IMO...
But you are Right in thinking that you'll need a million, in order to spend a million every 20 years or so, PLUS Inflation...

Sure, if you saved a large part of your paycheck instead of spending it on junk.

cotton gin is where cotton fiber is separated
from the cotton seed. The first step
in the ginning process is when the cotton
is vacuumed into tubes that carry it
to a dryer to reduce moisture and improve
the fiber quality. Then it runs through
cleaning equipment to remove leaf trash,
sticks and other foreign matter.
is accomplished by one of two methods. Cotton
varieties with shorter staple or fiber
length are ginned with saw gins. This process involves the use of
circular saws that grip the fibers and
pull them through narrow slots.
seeds are too large to pass through
these openings, resulting in the
fibers being pulled away from the
seed. Long fiber cottons must
be ginned in a roller gin because saw gins can damage their delicate
fibers. The roller gin was invented
in India centuries ago and this
concept is still used in modern
gins. Long
staple cottons, like Pima, separate
from the seed more easily than
Upland varietie. A roller gin
uses a rough roller to grab the
fiber and pull it under a rotating
bar with gaps too small for the
seed to pass.
bale of cotton is classed from a sample
taken after its formation. The classing of
cotton lint is the process of measuring
fiber characteristics against a set of
standards (grades). Classing is done by
experts, called classers, who use scientific
instruments to judge the samples of lint. All
standards are established by the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. Once the quality of the
cotton bale is determined, pricing parameters
are set and the lint may be taken to market. Cotton marketing is the selling and buying of cotton lint. Cotton
is priced in cents per pound when sold
and the price is negotiated according to
the cotton's quality. After baling, the
cotton lint is hauled to either storage
yards, textile mills, or shipped to foreign
countries. The cotton seed is delivered
to a seed storage area. Where it will
remain until it is loaded into trucks and
transported to a cottonseed oil mill or
directly for livestock feed.

- Pros — The child has a longer time to save up money for other expenses. It's a good "bridge" between learning to care for a car, pay for gas, and buying his or her own car. It also is a privilege that can easily be removed. (My husband argues that driving privileges can be removed, no matter who owns the car. He is right, of course.)
- Cons — The child may not fully grasp the whole cost of car ownership if they only pay for the gas.
- Pros — The child would fully grasp the whole cost of car ownership. I believe this scenario is the one in which the child would take the best care of the car.
- Cons — This would require having a cushion in case of unexpected repairs, and careful budgeting to make sure the child can afford all the expenses associated with car ownership. (WOW! This sounds suspiciously like real life!) It does not allow them as much time to save for other expenses.
As I look over this list of pros and cons, I am leaning toward something that's between the second and third options. I would be fine with allowing the child to use our car, but it probably would be more helpful if they had to pay for the gas and a percentage of repairs and insurance. I know I was surprised at how much oil changes, new tires, and wear and tear repairs added up to once I bought my own car.
While we have at least six years to make this decision — and I don't want to speed this up at all — I would like to start prepping our kids with our expectations so they aren't surprised when I tell them their birthday present is parked by the garage.
Would you buy your child a car? If so, would you expect the child to pay for any expenses?

A Milwaukee native who, along with co-conspirator Rob Schrab, founded Internet-based entertainment website Channel 101, Dan Harmon and his partner burst onto the scene with the supremely bizarre Fox television pilot Heat Vision and Jack (one of the most widely circulated unaired television pilots ever produced) before pulling back from the entertainment industry to launch a website specifically devoted to encouraging creativity in independent filmmakers. Harmon chose to hone his writing skills early on before stepping into the director's chair to helm the animated comedy Computerman in 2003. It was around this time that Harmon and Schrab's Super Midnight Movie Show endeavor was beginning to draw attention among the young and hip Los Angeles filmmaking set, and after submissions became too much to handle for the overwhelmed pair, they quickly took the concept online with Channel 101. A freeform short-film showcase that strives to deliver the most outrageous and innovative comedy around, Channel 101 soon found the pair being courted by some of the biggest producers in Los Angeles. Shortly after taking the reigns for the Jack Black comedy short LaserFart, it was time once again to work with his longtime partner on a 2006 Comedy Central pilot for controversial comedian Sarah Silverman. Later that same year, the pair would find their dreams of success slowly coming into focus when Robert Zemeckis and Amblin Entertainment teamed to produce Monster House -- a computer animated tale of a malevolent suburban abode that Harmon and Schrab had penned eight years before. Though Monster House proved to be a moderate hit at the box office, Harmon's greatest success came with the creation of the NBC sitcom Community, which gained a loyal cult following during its four-year run beginning in 2009. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Paisley Abbey
Paisley Abbey information
Paisley Abbey is well worth the short trip from Glasgow to see.
This majestic Gothic building was founded in 1163 by Walter Fitzalan, the first high steward of Scotland and ancestor of the Stuart dynasty. A monastery for Cluny monks, it was damaged by fire during the Wars of Independence in 1306 but rebuilt soon after. Most of the nave is 14th or 15th century. The building was mostly a ruin from the 16th century until the 19th-century restoration, completed in 1928. Apart from the magnificent perspective down the nave, points of interest include royal tombs, some excellent 19th- and 20th-century stained glass, including three windows by Edward Burne-Jones, and the 10th-century Celtic Barochan Cross. A window commemorates the fact that William Wallace was educated by monks from this monastery.
