Lower tummy pain and/or bleeding experiences by some pregnant women may be due to many things. They could, however, be due to an ectopic pregnancy. If you are experiencing any of the following ectopic pregnancy symptoms, please call the NHS Direct 111 service by dialling 111, contact your out of hours GP service or your normal surgery, or visit your local Accident and Emergency department (A&E).
Find your nearest Accident and Emergency department
Diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy may sometimes be difficult, and symptoms may occur from as early as 4 weeks pregnant and up to 12 weeks or even later. In addition, although there are a number of recognised risk factors (e.g. smoking, sexually transmitted infections, history of previous ectopic pregnancy, fertility treatment e.g. IVF); in over 50% of women diagnosed with and ectopic pregnancy, there are no identifiable risk factors.
Not all women experience symptoms. Some women experience symptoms that are also similar to other ailments such as gastroenteritis (tummy bug) and miscarriage, which are the most common ways to misdiagnose an ectopic pregnancy. Please do be vigilant and take pain that concerns you seriously until absolutely proven otherwise. If your instincts are screaming at you that something doesn't feel right, it's OK to trust them and ask for a reassessment at any time.
Please click on the list of symptoms and they will open out if you need any more detail:
- A missed or late period
A missed or late period
If you have missed one or more periods, the most likely reason is that you have a normal pregnancy. However, the fact that you may experience normal pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea, painful breasts or a swollen abdomen but no bleeding or pain, does not completely rule out an ectopic pregnancy, although this is rare.
- Pregnancy Test
Pregnancy Test
This is normally positive, however can very rarely come up with a negative result on a urine pregnancy test. Specialised hCG blood tests performed by your doctor are sometimes required to confirm this. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by a fertilised egg after conception. The hormone is most commonly detected in urine by using a pregnancy test, where it can be positive or negative. Blood tests can tell you the exact value of the hCG level in the blood, which can help with planning of the care you receive and treatment. However, an internal ultrasound scan is the best way to diagnose and ectopic pregnancy (see diagnosis)
- Abdominal Pain
Abdominal Pain
- One-sided pain in your tummy
- This can be persistent and severe or intermittent, which means it can come and go
- The pain may have begun suddenly or gradually
- Abnormal bleeding
Abnormal bleeding
- Bleeding is often dark and 'prune juice' like (i.e. a brownish colour)
- Some women do report spotting and bleeding of redder blood
If you don't know whether you are pregnant but find yourself having an unusual period, it may be due to a number of causes, one of which might be an ectopic pregnancy, particularly if you have had a coil (IUCD) fitted. If your bleeding is heavier or lighter than usual and prolonged or if, unlike your normal monthly period, this bleeding is slight, dark and watery, you should tell your doctor as soon as possible.
You should be aware of any change in the bleeding you are experiencing. If it becomes very heavy, causing you to soak a pad in less than an hour, or if you soak a pad in two hours with this level of flow continuing for more than 4 hours, you should have this checked out.
Bleeding in early pregnancy is thought to occur in about 30% of all pregnancies, of which only 1 to 2% will be ectopic.
- Shoulder tip pain
Shoulder tip pain
- The pain may have begun suddenly
- It tends to develop after you have been aware of feeling unwell or having other symptoms of vaginal bleeding and pain
It is caused by internal bleeding irritating the diaphragm (the muscle in your chest which helps you to breathe) when you breathe in and out. Shoulder tip pain is exactly where it says – not the neck or the back but the tip of your shoulder. If you look to the left over your shoulder and then cast your eyes down, the tip of your shoulder is where your shoulder ends and your arm starts.
Shoulders cause pain when we are stressed because we hold ourselves more rigidly and muscles in the back and neck go in to spasm – this is not shoulder tip pain; Shoulder tip pain is very distinctive. You know when you have it because it is a very 'weird' pain you have probably never experienced before.
- Bladder or Bowel Problems
Bladder or Bowel Problems
- Diarrhoea
- Pain when you have your bowels open (go for a poo)
- Pain when you pass water (have a wee)
Some pain and a change in your normal bladder and bowel pattern are features of a normal pregnancy for some women. All the same, if you present at your GP or Hospital Pregnancy Unit with such symptoms, it would be reasonable to have an early pregnancy assessment.
- Collapse
- Feeling light-headed or faint, or actually fainting
- Often accompanied by sickness and looking pale
- Increasing pulse rate or falling blood pressure may also be present
If you experience these symptoms, it is important to seek urgent medical attention.
Deciding whether your symptoms are getting worse
Trying to decide whether your symptoms are getting worse can be really tricky but, as a general rule, if you aren't sure something is wrong then you are probably OK to wait for half an hour and continue to make your own assessment. The difficulty is, often when we feel worried about our pregnancy, when no one can be precise about a diagnosis and there isn't a doctor on hand to ask, stress can, naturally, cause us to become very concerned and confused.
If you have concerns, it is best to try and seek medical attention for some advice. Your GP will likely refer you to your local early pregnancy unit for an assessment and an ultrasound scan.
When considering pain, it can be helpful to give yourself a pain scale, with zero being no pain at all and ten being the worst pain you have ever had in your life multiplied by ten. If the pain is severe and worsening, you must seek urgent medical attention.
It is important to remember that pregnancy symptoms are very common, and that not all women experiencing such symptoms have an ectopic pregnancy as it is rare (incidence 1.14% in the UK). However, it is important to be vigilant and if in doubt seek medical attention.

Hot answers tagged daemon
The "stop" term does not prevent the daemon from starting but rather shuts it down while entering the specified runlevel. If you just want to remove a service/daemon from a single runlevel, update-rc.d as pointed out bei freiheit or simply remove the symlink from /etc/rcX.d/, where X is your runlevel. If you don't want the service to start automatically, ...
Yes, SELinux is likely the cause. The .ssh dir is probably mislabeled. Look at /var/log/audit/audit.log. It should be labeled ssh_home_t. Check with ls -laZ. Run restorecon -r -vv /root/.ssh if need be.
Configure Linux Startup Applications with sysv-rc-conf: apt-get install sysv-rc-conf As others have pointed out, here is also update-rc.d for the cmd line. For example, run update-rc.d apache2 disable to disable apache2 from all run levels.
# nginx -h ... -s signal : send signal to a master process: stop, quit, reopen, reload ...
ConsoleKit manages console logins in graphical mode (i.e. with gdm or equivalent); if your server doesn't have those, you don't need it, but then it won't be started anyway. Also, you may be interested in this question. But you don't really have 60 instances taking 20% of RAM each. The ConsoleKit daemon is multithreaded, and htop shows a separate line for ...
Add the --make-pidfile option to your call of start-stop-daemon. --pidfile only tells start-stop-daemon where to look for the pidfile, without --make-pidfile it is assume that this pidfile is created by the program to be launched, and not by start-stop-daemon. Be sure to read the manpage of start-stop-daemon(8) for more details.
You only need to set the time zone once: tzselect or dpkg-reconfigure tzdata NTP does not handle time zones. All time data handled by NTP is in UTC; your local time zone setting determines the offset from there.
You can create your daemon manually following the /etc/init.d/skeleton file on Debian. You can use /usr/bin/service to launch $ sudo service yourdaemon start and sstop $ sudo service yourdaemon stop your daemon. As long as you do not link your script to any of the /etc/rc?.d directories, it won't get started on startup. On the other hand, you may want to ...
On a debian based headless server the way to remove and stop console kit that I found is this apt-get remove dbus-x11 consolekit apt-get autoremove Tested on debian testing (jessie)
I created an upstart script for ubuntu 9.10 For example I installed supervisor into a virtual environment, then start and control supervisor from upstart. create a text file /etc/init/supervisord.conf the contents are: description "supervisord" start on runlevel [345] stop on runlevel [!345] expect fork respawn exec /misc/home/bkc/...
try: su myuser -s /bin/sh -c /home/myuser/script.sh
these are 3 different kind of log managers : it enables your system to collect filter, and transmit/store logs. Syslog (daemon also named sysklogd) is the default LM in common Linux distributions. Light but not very flexible, you can redirect log flux sorted by facility and severity to files and over network (TCP, UDP). rsyslog is an "advanced" version of ...
This is what I use on RHEL 5.4 and CentOS 5.5 I'm not sure wether it's depending on some configuration settings in my supervisord.conf. But it seems to work OK. You need to run the following command after installing it chkconfig --add supervisord [/etc/rc.d/init.d/supervisord] #!/bin/sh # # /etc/rc.d/init.d/supervisord # # Supervisor is a client/server ...
You can use env to modify the environment: start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/wine-app.pid -m -c myuser -g mygroup -k 002 --exec /usr/bin/env VAR1="Value" /home/myuser/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/wine-app.exe
Seems like the wrong solution, somehow. If you're on Ubuntu, use Upstart. If you're on Centos/RHEL/Other, take a look at using start-stop-daemon and the LSB init standard to properly daemonize a process, and then that'll enable you to use chkconfig to start/stop it automatically.
Short: There is no reliable way to do this quickly. Long: Current Debian (Debian unstable as of 2012-06-01) has currently no reliable short way to consistently disable a service/daemon. – Because an upgrade of a daemon package unconditionally runs "/etc/init.d/package restart", having it disabled for this runlevel or not. To make sure a daemon doesn't ...
There is also a "total max" of open files set in the kernel, you can check the current setting with: cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max And set a new value with: echo "104854" > /proc/sys/fs/file-max If you want to keep the config between reboots add sys.fs.file-max=104854 to /etc/sysctl.conf To check current max file usage: [root@srv-4 proc]# cat /...
daemons and services are one in the same. However, neither have to be bound to a port. HALd is a daemon, that monitors plugged in hardware and mounts it properly. crond is a daemon that keeps the trains on time.
Basically, they are all the same, in the way they all permit to log data from different types of systems in a central repository. But they are three different project, each project trying to improve the previous one with more reliability and functionnalities. The Syslog project was the very first project. It started in 1980. It is the root project to ...
If your process is started via a script, you can place the call to ulimit in the script just prior to executing the daemon. If you wish to increase the ulimit for your user, or for all users, you can set limits that are applied via pam_limits on login. These are set in /etc/security/limits.conf. In your case, you could do something like: * ...

I have been able to disable IPv6 for NTP on my Debian 5/6/7 and Ubuntu 12.04 this way : Edit file /etc/default/ntp and replace NTPD_OPTS='-g' by NTPD_OPTS='-4 -g' Then, you can keep your directives in ntp.conf, they are not ignored : interface ignore wildcard interface listen <local_nic_ip> Without interface ignore wildcard NTP will also ...
Several options here. Just skip to the last paragraph if you want one recommendation instead of reading about the others too! Just restarting on reboot is easy: add it to /etc/rc.local which Debian based distros (and many others) run after everything in the other startup scripts by default. If god doesn't drop into the background itself you might need to ...
In my opinion, I would go with cron. Largely, because it's far less complicated and easier to implement. The other option requires you putting effort into daemonizing the process, and creating a startup script for it. There's plenty that can go wrong there. And there's a solid chance that a bug or errant kill might cause the daemon to die. (are you ...
You can find that on GNU's Savannah. For example here's coreutils.
How can I generate a command for start-stop-daemon that will kill the process if it doesn't term during a timeout period?
There are two ways: The first is just to specify a numeric --retry value. Then it will use /signal/timeout/KILL/timeout schedule. I.e. send a terminating signal (specified with --signal option), then wait the specified number of seconds and then send a KILL signal that could not be ignored by a process and therefore it will be forced to exit. The command ...
Debian uses rsyslog and you can check it is running pretty much exactly like checking apache is running /etc/init.d/rsyslog status [ ok ] rsyslogd is running. Or you could use the service command (which does pretty much the same thing) service rsyslog status [ ok ] rsyslogd is running.
monit is great in this case - it runs on localhost, so you don't need a network connection to restart your daemon (in case it fails, or daemon is responsible for networking). It also has small footprint on the system, and you can use it to monitor your other daemons/disk space/etc. as well. Create a start/stop script (similar to those in /etc/init.d/ and ...

I've got an older X25-M that doesn't support trim. If I image the drive, format it, then reimage it, would that restore it to roughly its original R/W speeds?
I looked into this again (six months after my original post) and had much better luck: I found the ATA Secure Erase wiki entry. It shows you how to use hdparm to tell the SSD to do a "Secure Erase". From the article:
The exact steps I took were:
I didn't do any before/after measurements, but several people have and it sure looks like the drive is performing like new.
There's also an option to do it using an MS-DOS-only HDDERASE.EXE from 5 years ago - I spent a little time with it and think hdparms is a far superior option. There are a lot of forum postings and blogs about this out there now - google around until you feel comfortable.
But not too comfortable - you don't want to wipe the wrong disk or find out your image was corrupt!
Hmm, sounds risky, per Ars:
Intel was supposed to release tools / utilities for this; Have you tried looking at the Intel Solid State Drive Toolbox?

Multichannel Sound Recording Using 3,4 and 5 Channels Arrays for Front Sound Stage Coverage
In previous papers the Multichannel Microphone Array Design (MMAD) procedure has been used mainly to determine the design of arrays giving complete 360° coverage of the sound field. Many sound recording engineers however use the main microphone array to cover only the front sound stage, and add in early reflections and reverberation either by artificial means (electronic generation) or by using a second array in the reverberation field. This paper describes MMAD procedure applied to only front coverage of the main sound stage using 3,4 or 5 channels-microphones, covering any desired angle within the front hemisphere, and for the usual 1st order microphone directivities. Various array alignments are described in the form of the arc-of-a-circle with different radius. All arrays described are critically linked (seamless) within the front hemisphere.

Here's the problem, I've been working on my first wordpress site, and i got it ready to launch, then came back a few hours later to find it had gone, just a white screen. no site, no admin panel, nothing.
Of course i googled it, came across various solutions (renaming plugins directory, deleting themes etc) but nothing worked.
in the end, as there wasn't much data entered into the site i wiped the files off the server, set up a new database, reinstalled wordpress, and got back to work, , and again the same problem, this time in a matter of hours.
so again, i re-installed on a fresh database, making sure i backed up the db everytime i did anything, and again i got the WSOD, and even if i roll back the database, it's still not working!
PLEASE HELP! i'm at my wits end and desperatley need to get this site finished! I'll be gratly appreciative!

Delegates at the Energy Live conference in London yesterday were left disappointed by the no-show of Ed Davey, the Energy Secretary, who had been billed as the main speaker.

Barcelona, May 5 (EFE).- Barcelona came from behind to beat an impressive Real Betis squad 4-2 on Sunday, with Leo Messi scoring two goals within 16 minutes in the second period.
Barcelona thus reestablished an 11-point advantage over second-placed Real Madrid with four games remaining in the tourney and might just win the Spanish soccer championship next Wednesday without even playing, depending on the result of the Real Madrid-Malaga match.
The match was a replay of what has plagued Barca all season: defensive errors, a lack of forcefulness in the backfield and a dependence on its star. That latter point was made evident when the 25-year-old Messi came off the bench in the 56th minute and rapidly sank two goals to put the then-tied game out of reach for Real Betis.
It was Dorlan Pabon who scored for Betis on an excellent effort in just the 2nd minute, but Alexis Sanchez evened things up shortly afterward on an assist by Andres Iniesta. Nevertheless, Ruben Perez made a brilliant effort in the 43rd minute on a pass from Nosa Igiebor and regained the advantage for Betis just before the break, although Barca had missed multiple chances, due primarily to David Villa's inability to find the twine.
Once the second half got under way, however, Villa finally managed to score for Barca reestablishing the tie, but then he was pulled and Messi was inserted, booting in his magnificent first goal on a free kick, his 45th tally in this year's Liga competition, just five minutes later.
And in the 72nd minute, it was Messi again - on a beautiful combination from Iniesta and Alexis - who buried the ball for the 4-2 result.

In the movie "Mad Max", there was a large farmhand character. In the "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" movie, Max fights a masked giant in the dome. I have always imagined it was the same character (big farmboy) from "Mad Max" that had managed to survive the apocolypse by way of his brawn (as "Blaster"). When Max unmasks him, Blaster smiles a "No hard feelings" smile at Max. Is Blaster in "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" supposed to be the same character as the farmhand in "Mad Max"?
Was Blaster from "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" the same character as the big farmhand from "Mad Max"?
While this sounds like an awesome theory, I'd have to go with "No, they are not."
The farmhand, when Max met him, was an older man, looking well into his early 60s. Judging from Blaster's physique in Thunderdome and given that the third film takes place 15 years after the farmhand scene from the original Mad Max, the farmhand would have been well into his 70s by that point. Regardless of how in shape you are, at that age your skin isn't going to look like a glistening professional wrestler. Especially in a dystopian environment like in the Mad Max films.
I always attributed that look to Blaster's perceived lack of intelligence, yet understanding of "this is how the world works."
There is nothing to state that the farmhand and Blaster were the same person. Both seemed to have Down's Syndrome or a similar condition. I think the farmhand may well be May's son and if May was Jessie's aunt, so Max may well identify with Blaster as similar to the man in the first movie who may well be his wife's first cousin.

Teenager denies pulling fire alarmJuly 31,2013A Bomoseen teen denied charges that he pulled a fire alarm and created a disturbance at Fair Haven Union High School.
Kyle Stone, 17, pleaded innocent Monday in Rutland criminal court to misdemeanor charges of triggering a false alarm for emergency services and disorderly conduct. The false-alarm charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
According to an affidavit, police and fire personnel responded to a fire alarm June 5 at the high school. Firefighters determined there was no fire, and a review of video surveillance footage showed Stone pulling the alarm, affidavits state.
Minutes before pulling the alarm, police said, Stone was kicking boxes in a school hallway and when asked by a teacher to stop, he replied with obscene language.

Good morning, dear readers! :D
Today I have a Mysterium polish I made to show you: Ice Crystal.
(The label is a temporary one; I'm still trying to find ones that fit this particular bottle shape.)
This is a shimmery and glittery white which reflects back a beautiful iridescence. This is the only bottle of this I have made, and I hope that in the future I will have the materials to produce more of this. I have to say that this is one of my all-time favourite polishes that I have ever made. :D What do you think of Ice Crystal?
I can't wait for winter!!!

If I leave a note telling my parents I am okay, and that I will keep in contact can I move out at 17.
Contracts / Agreements Lawyer
If you move out... your parents will possibly report to the police a "missing child." Technically you are not missing child if your whereabouts are known to your parents. Just in case... I would contact local law enforcement to see their policy on whether they would pursue a missing child complaint, and thus retrieve you and bring you back to you parents (even if your whereabouts are known to your parents, as stated in the Texas Penal Code. Good Luck,

Libby Ordered to Prison While Awaiting Appeal
A federal judge has refused to delay the prison sentence of former White House aide Lewis Libby.
Libby was sentenced to 30 months for lying to a grand jury and FBI investigators about the leak of a CIA operative's identity. His lawyers asked Judge Reggie Walton to allow Libby to remain free pending appeal, but Walton said Libby must report on whatever date is set by the Bureau of Prisons.
That usually takes some weeks, which the judge says is enough time to ask the appeals court for a stay of his order.

How Much of a Jerk Is This Guy Sitting on the Floor of the Subway Train With His Laptop?
Read his defense first.
Earlier today, a Redditor posted this photo of a balding, middle-aged man typing away on the floor of a moderately crowded 1 train. The caption: "Being a workaholic is no excuse for being an asshole."
But the man in question — or at least someone purporting to be him (it's pretty convincing) — soon joined the discussion to defend himself. He's wrapping up his PhD thesis, has a new job and a new baby, barely sleeps, barely has any time for anything, and needs to get work done on the subway or he'll explode into a million pieces. He usually tries to get a seat — despite his otherwise immaculate vocabulary and grammar, Laptop Man repeatedly uses the word sit instead of seat, which was kind of odd — but was "delayed at daycare this morning" and "did not feel that the train was so packed" as to make his encampment on the floor a nuisance to others.
Does Laptop Man's frenzied existence excuse his decision to take up a gratuitous amount of floor space for the purpose of unavoidable multitasking? Or is he "an asshole" who deserves to be stepped on by passersby as he types his thesis? Or is the whole thing just a big heaping scoop of who cares?

JACKSON, Miss. ---- Psachal Maize scored 16 points and LaKenya Drayton added 12 points and 10 rebounds, but it was not enough for the Auburn Montgomery women's basketball team, as the Warhawks fell 55-51 at Belhaven.
The loss was the second Southern States Athletic Conference setback in a row for AUM, dropping the team to 18-7 (10-4 SSAC). Belhaven snapped a three-game losing streak and moved to 10-15 (7-7).
We are a soft basketball team right now playing like it's November," head coach Dan Davis said. "We've shown no urgency in these past two games. We're going to find out what this team is really made of in the next 2-3 weeks."
Neither team led by more than three points throughout the first half. A jumper by Maize gave AUM a 26-25 lead with 24 seconds remaining. That turned out to be the last advantage of the game for the Warhawks. Belhaven forward Alisha Rayborn hit a jumper with one second left, starting what would turn into an 18-5 run for the Blazers.
The Warhawks battled back, decreasing the deficit to two points on two separate occasions in the closing minutes. The second of these came on two free throws from Ashley Rush with 1:57 remaining, making the score 53-51 Belhaven.
AUM would never score again, missing three shots to tie the game in the closing seconds before Rayborn hit two free throws with a second left to close out the scoring. Rayborn had 16 points for Belhaven, while Ashley Wakefield led the Blazers with 17 points.
Rush finished with eight points in her first start of the season. Drayton added three blocks in addition to earning her seventh double-double of the season. Maize has now scored in double figures in seven of her last nine games.
Belhaven made 42.3 percent of its shots from the field, compared to 39.2 percent by the Warhawks. The Blazers had a 35-30 edge in rebounds, including a 15-10 advantage in offensive boards.
AUM looks to get back on track Thursday at home against Spring Hill. The Badgers (11-14, 7-8) upset the Warhawks 66-59 in Mobile last month. Thursday's contest, which begins at 5:30 p.m., will be AUM's annual Pink Zone game in support of breast cancer awareness.

The San Jacinto Patriots enter their third season of competitive football, and veteran coach Jeff Bearden believes the team should improve on its 2001 showing. Judging by the team's wealth of experience, San Jacinto has a good chance to improve.
Back are 16 lettermen from last season, with returning starters at key positions. The backfield is stacked with Matt McCreary, Chris Taylor and fullback Derek Dumas, who should give the team a steady running game and provide a trio of solid defenders. If quarterback Jeremy Anthony and receiver Justin Casey continue to find a combination, the Patriots' offense should be strong.
Where the team is lacking is with size on the line. Although two key figures are back, the other spots must be filled with players who will need to develop in a hurry.
Road trips to Midland and Lubbock could help decide the Patriots' fate in district before finishing against Trinity Fellowship, a new rival stepping up from six-man.
Head Coach: Jeff Bearden, third season at San Jacinto; 38th season overall.
2001 Record: 1-9, 1-2 in TAPPS District 1-3A.
Returning Experience: 16 lettermen, five offensive and five defensive starters.
Players to Watch: Jeremy Anthony, QB-DB; Matt McCreary, RB-DB; Chris Taylor, RB-DB; Derek Dumas, RB-DE; Kyle Chapman, OL-LB; Ed Delgado, OL-LB.

Darius & Twig (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
New York Times bestselling author and Printz Award winner Walter Dean Myers once again connects with teenagers everywhere in Darius & Twig, a novel about friendship and needing to live one's own dream. This touching and raw teen novel from the author of Monster, Kick, We Are America, Bad Boy, and many other celebrated literary works for children and teens is a Coretta Scott King Honor Book.
Darius and Twig are an unlikely pair: Darius is a writer whose only escape is his alter ego, a peregrine falcon named Fury, and Twig is a middle-distance runner striving for athletic success. But they are drawn together in the struggle to overcome the obstacles that life in Harlem throws at them. The two friends must face down bullies, an abusive uncle, and the idea that they'll be stuck in the same place forever.
About the Author
Born in Marinsburg, West Virginia in 1937, Walter Dean Myers is one of the premier authors of books for children. His mother died very early in his life-an event that propelled him into experiences that later influenced him to write. It was difficult for Myers' father to raise eight children alone, and eventually, a nearby couple, Herbert and Florence Dean, took in three-year old Walter and moved to Harlem, New York. "Harlem became my home and the place where my first impressions of the world were set," says Myers.
As a child, Myers went to school in his neighborhood and attended bible school almost every day of the week. Myers had a speech impediment which made communicating difficult for him, and often found himself in fights, defending himself against kids who taunted him. After a while, one of this teachers suggested to his class that they could write something to read aloud. Young Myers began writing poetry to give voice to his thoughts and feelings, and at age sixteen, won a prize in an essay contest and a set of encyclopedias for a long narrative poem. Later, his father bought him a used typewriter, which he used to churn out a seemingly endless stream of stories.
Along with the many things he was discovering about himself, Myers was also learning how to survive. One day he had the courage to break up a fight between three gang members and a kid who had just moved into the neighborhood. He became a marked man-and felt his life was in danger.
For example, once, he was sitting in the tree in Morningside Park, across from the building he lived in, reading O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra," when some gang members spotted him and surrounded the tree. Myers jumped to theground, flashed a stiletto in order to fend them off, and made a mad dash for his building. He escaped, but he never forgot the incident. Later he enlisted in the army, got married, had a child, went through a turbulent creative struggle, got divorced, got married again-and during all of this, kept writing, whether his work pleased him or not.
But Walter Dean Myers' life is not the story of a tormented, embittered artist. Rather it is the story of a gifted, complex person committed to sharing that gift with young readers. Myers' stories and novels paint a powerful picture of the pressures of growing up on big city streets. Yet, he emphasizes close relationships, trust, and personal growth.
It seems that one of Myers' greatest struggles was to understand what type of writer he wanted to be. As the years passed and his books became more and more popular, Walter Dean Myers came to believe that his work filled a void for African American youths who yearned for positive reading experiences and role models. He frequently writes about children who share similar economic and ethnic situations with his own childhood. "But my situation as a parent did not mirror that of my childhood," he says. "While my parents were quite poor, my children are thoroughly entrenched in the middle class experience. To them African prints go well with designer jeans, pizzas go down easier to a reggae beat, and shopping malls are an unmistakable part of their culture."
It is clear that Myers' understanding of both the world he was raised in and the world of his children allows him to bring an authority to his work that resonates with his young readers. It is one of many attributes that has made him one ofthe most important children's and young adult authors writing today. Among his many honors are two Newbery Honor books for "Scorpions "and" Somewhere in the Darkness," He is also a two-time recipient of the Coretta Scott King Award for "Now Is Your Time!" and "Fallen Angels," In addition, Myers has received the Margaret A. Edwards Award for his contribution to young adult literature.
Myers' novel, "Darnell Rock Reporting," is a warm and humorous story about thirteen-year-old Darnell Rock-a boy who works on his school newspaper. The book is sure to appeal to reluctant readers. Myers' recent picture book, "How Mr. Monkey Saw the Whole World," is a cautionary fable about a watchful monkey who sees that a greedy buzzard gets his comeuppance.
Myer's recent work, "145th Street: Short Stories" (A "Boston Globe-Horn Book" Honor Book) captures the heartbeat of one memorable block in Harlem, New York. These powerful, often gripping stories range from humor and celebration to terror and grief.
Walter Dean Myers, the father of three grown children, lives with his wife in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Shaking Up Western Art the Chinese Way (Mit chinesischer Methode die westliche Kunst umpflÃgen)
Dear Friends,
We would like to invite you to the opening reception of our summer exhibition (Shaking up Western Art the Chinese Way / Mit chinesischer Methode die westliche Kunst umpflügen). You will see works of four Chinese artists who are living in Germany: Wu Ming (Berlin), Wang Chu (Dresden), Fu Rao (Dresden) and Zhang Hui (Dresden). And we are curious to know which one ...will be your favorite!
February 13 - April 01, 2010
ZHANG Hui: Reflections/Spiegelungen
The young Chinese painter, graduate from Chinese Academy of Art and Berlin University of Arts shows works from her five-year stay in Germany.
April 03 - May 21, 2010
LI YAN: Accidents/Unfälle
Following London, Tokyo and Los Angeles, this will be the first solo show in Berlin of Li Yan, the great outsider of the Beijing art circle . His mini-picture series reconstruct scenes of violence and war culled from the daily news and raises questions to our perception of reality as filtered through today's media.
June 03 - August 4, 2010
FU RAO: Chimaeras
Fu Rao is a Chinese painter from Dresden. His near monochrome paintings, laid down by broad brushstrokes but nevertheless displaying a fine texture, reveal the deeper layers of our everyday life. The earthy, half animal and half human hybrid creatures merge with the household or natural environments in which they are set. Everything seems animated, but threatened at the same time by the forthcoming decline. âDust are thou and to dust thou shall return.â (Genesis 3:19)

Release Date:
February 4, 2003
Rating: pg-13 - Violence
The true story of Anna Leonowens' experiences as a governess to the children of an eccentric Asian king has been adapted into a book of memoirs, a biography, a stage play called Anna and the King of Siam -- which was adapted into a 1946 film, a stage musical called +The King and I -- made into both the live-action The King and I (1956)) and the animated The King and I (1999) feature films, and a short-lived 1972 TV series. Now the story is brought to the screen yet again, as Jodie Foster stars as Leonowens, hired by the king of Thailand (Chow Yun-Fat) in the 19th century to help care for his children. The king wants the best for his children, but Anna soon discovers that he is a strong-willed but quixotic leader, and her stay in Thailand becomes a struggle for power with romantic overtones, as they decide who will have authority over the royal youngsters. Anna and the King was directed by Andy Tennant, best known for his 1998 variation on the Cinderella story, Ever After. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Waukee girls' soccer team on June 6 blanked Linn-Mar to reach its third consecutive state semifinal.
But for the second year in a row, Ankeny awaited the Warriors in the semifinal round. And for the second year in a row, the Hawks escaped with a 2-1 victory on June 7.
"I told them they have nothing to hang their heads about," Waukee coach Tony Gabriel said of the semifinal defeat at Cownie Soccer Complex that ended the Warriors' season at 16-5. "They played a fantastic game and had a very successful season. This heartache will soon pass, and that is when they'll be able to reflect on everything they've accomplished this season."
Jessica Duff tied the game at 1 in the 73rd minute, taking a pass from Anna Kollmorgen and drilling a shot on goal that escaped the grasp of goalkeeper Nikkie Inskeep and jumped into the goal.
The rally to tie the match against steep odds has been a constant all season, Gabriel said.
"It shows how much character they have as a team," he said. "In all five losses this season, this team has never been out of the game. They have fought until the final whistle all year."
Ankeny, which had taken a 1-0 lead in the 11th minute, answered with the game winner just minutes after Duff's equalizer when Kelsey Yarrow scored in the 78th minute.
Jacki Kunze had seven saves in goal for Waukee, while Duff, Ellie Bunz and Taylor Woods all had two shots apiece.
Waukee was aiming for its first championship match appearance since 2011. Instead, the Hawks went on to win their second title in three years.
The Warriors dominated in nearly every facet of a 3-0 victory over Linn-Mar the day before. Hannah McDevitt got Waukee on the board just 8 minutes into the match. After taking a pass from Kollmorgen, she got an open look and drilled a 25-yard strike into the upper left corner of the goal.
"It gave us momentum and gave us confidence," McDevitt said. "From there, we just kept improving throughout the game."
The quick strike helped Waukee pressure Linn-Mar.
"Linn-Mar's a good team and we knew we had to put pressure on them in order to win this game and slip some goals in early, so we were fortunate to do that," Gabriel said.
Bunz slipped a penalty kick past goalkeeper Rylie Frese with 11:57 left in the first half, and Kollmorgen added the team's third goal midway through the second on a long, hard strike from near midfield.
Kunze made three saves and Waukee held an 11-3 advantage in shots on goal, including four by McDevitt.
"It was definitely not something we expected, but something that is possible with our squad," Gabriel said of the decisive margin of victory over the Lions, who had entered with a 15-3 mark. "We came here with the expectation that we were going to play our style of soccer, and we know that we can play some of the best soccer in the state if we stick to it."
Gabriel credited the team's six seniors — Bunz, Duff, Woods, Monica Grewell, Rachel Muse and Hannah Cook — with uniting the team over the course of a season that saw the team win seven of its final eight games entering the match with Ankeny.
"I told these six seniors at the beginning of the season that it was their team," Gabriel said. "They accepted the challenge of taking everyone under their wings and formed a very close group of girls."

Shaftesbury Barnet Athletics Club members David Stone, 11, and Jessica Hurley, 14 have been named the winners of the 2013 Daniel Sacks Memorial Awards for Outstanding Young Athletic Achievement.
Richard Goodman ran a solid race to help Great Britain and Northern Ireland secure team gold medals in the European under-23 Cross Country Championships in Belgrade.
Richard Goodman showed that he is back to his best with a storming performance at the European Cross Country trials in Liverpool.
Competing in his first year in the under-23 age group, Goodman placed fourth overall, and was the second finisher aged under-23, in the 9.8km Great Britain & Northern Ireland team selection race.
David Stone, 11, placed fourth among the 759 runners taking part in the Battersea Park MoRun.
Stone completed the 5km event in 17:26, more than a minute-and-a-half ahead of the next placed runner aged under 20.
Stone's Shaftesbury Barnet team-mate Lia Radus, 11, placed 19th in the London Youth Games Cross Country Championship at Parliament Hill.
Not everyone likes the phrase 'golden generation,' just ask some of the leading lights from the England national football team. Overhyped and overpaid is how some would describe them. Perennial under-achievers in the eyes of many.
It was a golden summer for track queen Ellie Edwards, and she has managed to maintain her winning formula by scooping the prestigious MVP Award at the 19th Maccabiah Games.
It was the perfect birthday present for Ellie, who turned 17 earlier this week, as she fought off the challenge of thousands of elite Jewish athletes from across the globe to the title of Most Valuable Participant.
Richard Goodman says it "feels great to be injury-free and competing" again after making a triumphant return to competition in his first race since 2011.
Competing for Shaftesbury Barnet in the first fixture of this season's Metropolitan Cross Country League in Woodford, Goodman recorded 24:25 for the 8,000m course, 35 seconds clear of runner-up Nick Torry.
David Stone won gold at the National Road Relay Championships. Running for Shaftesbury Harriers under-13's,
Stone, who is 11 and studies at JFS, excelled on his national debut at the in the English Young Athletes Road Relay Championships at Birmingham.
Anglo-Jewry's finest sporting talent will be showcased at Maccabi GB's biannual Sports Awards next month and I'd like to take this opportunity to pinpoint my favourites for the various accolades.
David Peters, 42, overcame recent disruptions of travel and injury to complete the New York Fifth Avenue Mile in 4:19.9.
Running the elite race, his performance was more than 10 seconds faster than the winner of the "non-elite" 40-49 age category.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Iconic comic characters mostly rely on their looks. This isn't as shallow as it seems, as comics are inherently a visual medium. It's why Cable's creation tends to be attributed to Rob Liefeld rather than Louise Simonson. The best characters have timeless looks, the kind of visual appeal that will work no matter when you're introduced to him. It's one of the reasons Spider-Man keeps coming back to the classic red-and-blue costume; he can have a bunch of different costumes, but there's only one real one.
Two characters who are just as iconic in appearance are Silver Surfer and Ghost Rider. Here in California, there's barely a beach bum out on the waves that doesn't know the shiny silver visage of the Silver Surfer. Bikers and tough guys near and far love the Ghost Rider's signature skull. And yet, for all their visual popularity, I'd be hard pressed to find someone who knows exactly who these characters are. Norrin Radd isn't a household name, after all. Defining Ghost Rider's powers gets a little tricky for the average Joe once you move past "His skull is on fire." There's just a lot of detail missing from the public perception of who these characters are, but they still remain popular.
Trust me, we all know what it looks like when the characters don't work, so what do what is it that's essential for them to make it?
WARNING: We talk vaguely about the new Silver Surfer #1 and All-New Ghost Rider #1, but nothing major is spoiled. Still, grab a copy and read along!
It looks like Marvel's emphasis on reaching a female audience may be paying off for Ms. Marvel.
The first issue of the teenaged superhero's series debuted last Wednesday to a chorus of critical acclaim, just one day after Marvel editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso spoke with The Washington Post about the publisher's enhanced focus on female characters and creators — along with Ms. Marvel, new series have been launched (or will be launched) featuring female heroes Black Widow, She-Hulk, Captain Marvel and Elektra; under the "All-New Marvel NOW!" initiative. "While we don't have any market research, the eyes don't lie," Alonso said in his interview. "If you go to conventions and comic book stores, more and more female readers are emerging. They are starved for content and looking for content they can relate to."
Whether you're looking to read Amazing Spider-Man in Korean or Avengers in Hindi, it just got a whole lot easier to purchase translated versions of Marvel Comics: The publisher released the "Marvel Global Comics" app on Thursday, a partnership (described as a "multi-year agreement") with iVerse offering digital versions of some of their most popular stories in 12 different languages: Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Hebrew, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Given the popularity of Marvel's characters worldwide — last year's Iron Man 3 made $806.4 million in foreign box office, The Avengers even more — it's not surprising to see the company try to increase their international appeal on the publishing front.
"Marvel has incredible fans all around the world, and we're excited to bring digital comics to their mobile devices in their native languages," Marvel's Kristin Vincent, vice president of digital products, said in a statement. "This partnership with iVerse allows us to introduce Marvel's rich history of action-packed stories to new audiences worldwide who want to know more about the Avengers, Spider-Man, Wolverine and the rest of the vast Marvel Universe."
The deal further raises iVerse's profile in the digital comics arena; the digital distributor has previously partnered with publishers including Top Cow, Viz, Archie Comics and Lion Forge. "We are lifelong fans of Marvel — their characters and their content," iVerse CEO Michael Murphey said in Marvel's press release. "It's truly an honor to be able to partner with them to bring this spectacular content to the world on as many platforms as possible."
Among the initial series available on the app are major events like Civil War, House of M, Infinity Gauntlet and Fear Itself; plus issues of ongoing series like New Avengers and Invincible Iron Man. The app is currently only available on Apple iOS devices, but Marvel's says additional platforms are "tentatively scheduled" for later this year. The app is free and available now.
During ROBOT 6's Fifth Anniversary celebration, Mighty Avengers #6 artist Valerio Schiti kindly shared a sneak peak of his upcoming work, which hits stands on Feb. 5. We also posted more of his sketches on our Tumblr page.
Those sketches (as well as the art pages from the initial post) resonated with readers so strongly that Schiti was more than pleased to share additional sketches of Blue Marvel, Falcon (including a variant "classic" costume sketch) and Luke Cage that he had prepared.
Yes, Amazing Spider-Man will return with a new #1 in April, as first leaked online a week ago and then confirmed by Marvel this past Sunday. One of comics' most famous series making a semi-long-awaited comeback certainly seems like an opportune time for one of Alex Ross's 12 75th anniversary variants scheduled for release from Marvel this year, and it looks like the publisher agrees. Ross's Amazing Spider-Man #1 variant cover is also the cover of this month's Previews, as revealed Monday on Twitter.
The first cover in Ross's anniversary series is for Avengers #25, on sale next week. Ross also illustrated a variant for March's Daredevil #1, another relaunched volume of a Marvel series birthed in the Silver Age.
While Ross's Amazing Spider-Man cover pays tribute to the past, don't expect the interior of the comic to be retro: "If we woke up in a world where J. Jonah Jameson was in the Bugle, and Peter Parker was taking pictures for a living, and Aunt May was in the hospital, I would shoot myself," series writer Dan Slott told CBR in an interview on the new series. "It's the ongoing story of Peter Parker, Spider-Man. His life moves forward."
Update: A look at the cover sans text, courtesy of Marvel, below.
Before writing titles like Birds of Prey, Secret Six and Batgirl for DC Comics, Gail Simone had a brief tenure at Marvel, working on Deadpool, the Deadpool-spinoff Agent X and the kid-friendly Gus Beezer one-shots. It's been more than 10 years since those titles first saw print, but now she's headed back to the House of Ideas to work on a new Deadpool story for the big wedding issue.
"Am I Excited? To be writing my first Marvel story in TEN YEARS?" she sad on her Tumblr. "Yes, I am!"
If you frequent her Tumblr, you know she talks fondly of Deadpool and the Agent X characters whenever she's asked about them, so it isn't surprising to see her once again writing the now-engaged character. Will her story perhaps involve some of the Agent X cast, like Taskmaster, Outlaw or the title character himself? I guess we'll find out in April.
In addition to Simone and, of course, series regulars Gerry Duggan and Brian Posehn, Deadpool #27 will also feature stories written by Fabian Nicieza, Mark Waid, Joe Kelly, Christopher Priest, Jimmy Palmiotti, Frank Tieri, Daniel Way and Victor Gischler, with art by Mike Hawthorne, Scott Koblish and "many more." Check out the solicitation information below.
Today, Carla and Tom continue to muse through all the news the Big Two have brought us in 2013. See can read the first installment here.
Tom Bondurant: The Marvel Cinematic Universe (Avengers division) is now five and a half years old, and consists currently of eight movies, a handful of shorts, and a half-season of TV.
Carla Hoffman: Holy cats, we work fast!
Tom: However, it's about to get a lot bigger, adding two movies next year, plus the four Netflix series (and the Defenders movie coming out of those). Clearly this looks like a long-term commitment — but how long can it go?
Carla: Ask me after Ant-Man. That's going to be the hardest movie to sell to non-comic fans. If that turns out to be a surprise hit enough for Ant-Man (whichever alias he may be) to turn up in an Avengers movie, then I can't think of a property that wouldn't work on the silver screen as long as the right creative team is at work.
TB: See, I think Ant-Man just got a lot easier to sell, because now it's "Paul Rudd joins the Avengers."
Every year ROBOT 6 contributors Tom Bondurant and Carla Hoffman get together to talk about everything in Big Two superhero comics. Watch for Part 2 on Thursday.
Carla: Is it me or was 2013 crazy-busy? There were event comics, new titles, canceled titles, movies (plural for Marvel!), TV shows and video games. It seems like there's no escape from comics, making it harder and harder to get a general idea of the industry. Some days I kind of envy the indie comic fans as it must be a lot easier to handle comics as they come, as opposed to our gestalt juggernaut that is the Big Two. How much DC business could you comfortably follow before overwhelm set in?
Tom: Well, for starters, I pretty much skipped all of the video game and Cartoon Network developments, because I don't have time for either area.
As part of All-New Marvel NOW!, veteran artist Lee Garbett will team in February with writer Al Ewing for Loki: Agent of Asgard, a series the god of mischief is fully grown and in the service of the All-Mother. More immediately, however, Marvel is setting the stage for the initiative with All-New Marvel NOW! Point One #1, a one-shot that arrives Jan. 8 with a Garbett-drawn Loki serving as the thread that brings together all of the stories.
In my interview with Garbett, the artist clearly relishes the opportunity to draw Asgard's new "one-man secret service" as well as work with Ewing. ROBOT 6 is also pleased to provide an exclusive page from the upcoming All-New Marvel NOW Point One.
Because this space is normally reserved for DC Comics and its stable of characters, you might think a post on Miracleman goes a little outside the lines. However, Miracleman was based on Captain Marvel, who is a DC character in the same way that Miracleman is now a Marvel character: the wonderful world of intellectual-property rights. That's just one of several traits the two features share, so today I'll be comparing and contrasting. I'll also consider whether Marvel's upcoming Miracleman revival could affect DC's latest version.
Miracleman (under its original name of Marvelman, but you knew that already) started out as a way to hold onto British readers of Captain Marvel when the latter closed up shop in the mid-1950s. In that form, the series lasted until 1963. In 1982, writer Alan Moore headed up a revival that started by updating familiar elements, but ended up going off in a decidedly different direction. As reprinted, renamed, and subsequently completed in the United States, Moore's Miracleman (from Eclipse Comics) filled 16 issues, give or take some reprints, and came out over the course of about four and a half years (cover-dated August 1985 to December 1989). Moore's artistic collaborators included Garry Leach, Alan Davis, Chuck Austen (under the name Chuck Beckum), Rick Veitch, and John Totleben. From June 1990 to June 1993, Eclipse published eight more issues, written by Neil Gaiman and drawn by Mark Buckingham, and an anthology miniseries (Miracleman Apocrypha) came out from November 1991 to February 1992. For various reasons, though, no new Miracleman has seen the light of day for over twenty years.
That's all about to change, starting with January's reprints from Marvel. It remains to be seen whether today's readers will be interested in 20- to 30-year-old stories from a writer whose popularity isn't what it once was, and which will apparently be reprinted initially in a somewhat-pricey format. Additionally, Miracleman has turned into much more of an "Alan Moore book," as opposed to a Captain Marvel parody. Therefore, its return doesn't strike me as the sort of thing which will automatically generate more interest in Captain Marvel; but their similarities (and even some of their differences) can be instructive.

In what is sure to be a paper-saving initiative, Marvel Comics will offer copies of its Marvel Previews catalogue on the Marvel Comics Digital App beginning November 6. A digital download of the catalogue will also come bundled with any digital download code in the publisher's print comics. It will transition to a free download for all users the month its contents are on sale.
Marvel is currently the only publisher to have a catalogue separate from the massive monthly tome of Diamond Previews, the catalogue from which retailers can plan which issues and products they plan to order. Previews contains solicitations for products set to hit in three months, giving retailers and fans an advanced — if somewhat ambiguous — look at what to expect in the coming months. Marvel Previews is available free with purchase of the main Previews catalogue, or for $1.99 by itself.
When the art for Joshua Hale Fialkov and Leonard Kirk's "Hunger" was released earlier today, the Adi Granov-illustrated covers had a slightly different treatment from what we've seen since the publisher's Marvel NOW! initiative launched. Nestled in the red band at the bottom of the cover is the phrase "Share Your Universe," positioned directly next to the now-familiar "Bonus Digital Edition" bug.
With Marvel referring to its online Fan Network as "Your Universe" for some time now, and the word "share" is linked to various social networking mediums, the possibility also exists that the publisher is gearing up to launch its own social media network. Of course, the phrase's proximity to the digital comics logo could give fans the impression that the House of Ideas may be actively encouraging those who buy print copies of their purchases to share the codes with other readers.
When approached by ROBOT 6, Marvel was tightlipped about the new cover addition, simply stating, "As some press noticed in a recent retailer update, Share Your Universe is something important that we're announcing in July."
Passings | Silver Age artist Dan Adkins died earlier this month at the age of 76. Adkins, who began with self-published zines before becoming a freelance illustrator, served as Wally Wood's assistant. As a member of Wood's studio, he was one of the original artists for T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. Adkins was a prolific penciller and inker for numerous publishers, from DC Comics and Warren Publishing to Harvey Comics and Marvel, notably drawing 132 covers for the latter. He talked in detail about his career, and working with Wood, in this interview with Alter Ego. [News from ME]

"The downside is, of course, I also have to write the checks." [Rochester Post-Bulletin]
