Measuring Power and Satisfaction in Societies with Opinion Leaders: Dictator and Opinion Leader Properties
A well known and established model in communication policy in sociology and marketing is that of opinion leadership. Opinion leaders are actors in a society who are able to affect the behavior of other members of the society called followers. Hence, opinion leaders might have a considerable impact on the behavior of markets and other social agglomerations being made up of individual actors choosing among a number of alternatives. For marketing or policy purposes it appears to be interesting to investigate the effect of different opinion leader-follower structures in markets or any other collective decision-making situations in a society. We study a two-action model in which the members of a society are to choose one action, for instance, to buy or not to buy a certain joint product, or to vote yes or no on a specific proposal. Each of the actors has an inclination to choose one of the actions. By definition opinion leaders have some power over their followers, and they exercise this power by influencing the behavior of their followers, i.e. their choice of action. After all actors have chosen their actions, a decision-making mechanism determines the collective choice resulting out of the individual choices. Making use of bipartite digraphs we introduce novel satisfaction and power scores which allow us to analyze the actors' satisfaction and power with respect to the collective choice for societies with different opinion leader-follower structures. Moreover, we study common dictator and opinion leader properties of the above scores and illustrate our findings for a society with five members.

Are you closer to the 18-year-old or 81-year-old side of the spectrum?
If smoke-filled rooms, loud noises and low win rates weren't enticing you to go, there might actually be a few reasons to visit one now!
They might be bad guys, but they're not baaad guys.
This may upset you to learn, but if you're a potato chip fan living outside of Japan then you're seriously missing out…
And it's not just because they've got an adorable logo…
It's been a busy year for Japan!
With gigantic casts of characters who are groomed to become fan favorites, what's not to love? Did your favorite idol anime make the list?
After a week in China, one of our Japanese writers brought home a list of thoughts to share with us.
These are the most powerful anime heroes as chosen by fans outside of Japan. Who will claim the top spot and does your favorite make the list?
Speakers of certain languages sometimes get a leg-up when learning Japanese. For example, Japanese includes Chinese characters, which means Chinese speakers can often get the gist of a text even if they don't understand the grammar. Similarly, Korean speakers might find that Japanese grammar is kinda similar to theirs. And we native English speakers get a huge helping hand from the hundreds of English loan words that have been adopted into modern Japanese.
But sometimes, these loan words aren't really our friends at all. Instead, they're what's known as false friends – words that sound similar in two languages yet have a completely different meaning. In co-opting English words into Japanese, sometimes our crafty Nihonjin pals have assigned our words to things that actually mean something totally different. It's almost like they're trying to trick us!
Join us for a quick primer on some Japanese loanwords you might have heard before, and what they really mean!
Are these normal Japanese things weird to you? 10 things that might surprise you when you visit Japan
When traveling to a foreign country for the first time, no matter how well-prepared you are, there's sure to be a lot you'll be surprised by! Let's take a look at 10 things in Japan that might surprise you when you first hop off the plane.
With these in mind, you can enjoy your first trip to Japan even more!
As a man, I have to admit that sometimes we can be a little confusing. Why do we do weird things like try to flavor food with burps, or lock iPhones with our butts? There are some mysteries that may never be solved.
But one Japanese Twitter user thinks they've found a list of 18 things that apply to pretty much every man, especially concerning relationships. Will this list help decode the confusing "man brain," or is it just a mass of macho mumbo jumbo? Read on and decide for yourself!
RocketNews24's Japanese-language reporter Yuichiro visited Cuba a few months ago and had an amazing time in the Caribbean nation. Although he's already shared several of his travel adventures such as sampling sushi at a five-star hotel and getting a haircut in the popular local style, Wasai recently compiled a list of the top seven things that impressed or surprised him about Cuba.
Recently, the popular Internet Movies Database (IMDb) released their list of the top 250 TV series of all-time, based on user reviews. Japanese net users were curious to see which of their country's shows would make the final cut, and as it turns out, 28 Japanese anime series were included in the list! How did your favorite anime stack up against some the most masterful television series in the world?
30 things that will go through your mind on a business trip to Tokyo, according to our Japanese writer
It is perhaps common knowledge by now that folks in Japan tend to go on business trips a lot. Whether this is actually true or an exaggeration, we can't exactly say, but it certainly seems that there are a ton of workers moving around the country as part of their jobs. And it should go without saying that quite a few of them end up coming to Tokyo.
So, what is it like taking a business trip to Tokyo for someone who lives outside of Japan's most populous metropolitan area? Read on to find out!
As a reader of RocketNews24, chances are you already have a pretty big soft spot for Japan. You may even already be living in the Land of the Rising Sun or have plans to fly out just as soon as circumstances allow.
But sometimes, even when we love a place with every fibre of our being, we just can't stay forever. Family anxiously awaiting our return; work commitments; financial constraints and more mean that, at some point or other, many of us have to wave goodbye to Japan and return to our respective homelands.
Some of the things people miss about Japan will be immediately obvious, but others tend to sink in only a few weeks or months after returning home. Today, we're taking a look at 21 of the little things, in no particular order, that Japan does so uniquely or so incredibly well that foreigners really start to pine for them once they finally say sayonara and head home.
Foreign cultures are always going to have things that surprise outsiders. Roasted shellfish snacks may be perfectly normal to Japanese people but not quite so appetizing to us, whereas kids dressing up on graduation day is endearing to us but downright terrifying to Japanese people.
The Japanese website CuRAZY recently compiled a list of 12 extremely popular tweets that revealed some sort of "surprising information." Far more surprising than the tweets themselves though is the fact that so many Japanese people actually found the information surprising in the first place.
Think about how you slept last night. You probably rolled around a little, found a comfortable spot, adjusted a bit, then eventually slipped into sweet slumber in that position. If you're like most people, every night you probably choose a similar sleeping position. And the position you choose can say a lot about your personality, your subconscious, and even your deep-seated fears.
We have a list of eight common sleeping positions along with the typical personality traits of each. Are the predictions spot-on for you, or were the psychologists sleeping on the job when they dreamed them up?
Words go in and out of fashion just as easily as clothes and video game consoles. What seems "groovy" or "ill" one day will just sound utterly "beef-witted" a few years later.
And the same thing happens in Japanese. What were once extremely common words now just make the people who used to say them cringe. If you want to make your Japanese friends laugh with some seriously dated slang, or if you just want to test your own knowledge on some more obscure aspects of the language, then take a look at this list of 10 "dead" Japanese words.
Japan had plenty to boast last week when Tokyo was named as the safest city in the world by The Economist, with Osaka coming in a respectable third. Netizens were proud that even with Tokyo's famously terrible (and sometimes dangerous) commutes and Osaka's penchant for strange crimes, the two cities stood out to claim top spots among some of the largest cities in the world.
Click below to find out what made the two Japanese cities rank so high and which other cities made the list!

Facebook to Begin Rolling Out 'Nearby Friends' Feature
Article Comments 3
Apr 17, 2014, 12:09 PM by Eric M. Zeman @phonescooper
Facebook today announced a new feature that will let people share their location with their friends. The tool, called Nearby Friends, is opt-in and needs to be turned on by users. It can be turned off at any time. Users will be able to share their location with all their friends, just close friends, or with specific lists of people. In order to see friends who are nearby, other users will need to have it on and share their location, too. The feature lets people share their exact location for a defined period of time, which is then visible on a map in order to make the person easy to find. Facebook suggests Nearby Friends be used by people to meet up when near one another. Nearby Friends will be added to the Android and iOS apps in the coming weeks.
Instagram Now Lets You Add Up to 10 Photos to a Single Post
Skype Douses Android and iOS Apps with Silliness

Three months after our amazing trip, we received a call from Mario T. Reyes to invite us to his Birthday party in Cebu, Visayas, so he send for us to Mexico and we back to Philippines a couple days.

Mitch Dingus,
I am unable to determine if there is a question or statement of any kind in your messages. I have found that nearly all of the people to whom I am related, both closely and distantly, are impossible to understand. I am sure you know what you are trying to express, but it does not make any sense to me. I have cancelled the edit requests for Flossie Dingus memorial page, and wish you well, but I will have no further communications with you.

Flossie Dingus
Mitch Dingus,
Regarding Flossie Dingus (Find A Grave Memorial# 45610433), are you willing to accept online sources showing her to be the daughter of Elijah A. Somers and Sarah Martha Somers (maiden name House), and the husband of James William Dingus - or will you only accept hard copies of documents?
Much of the information I have was compiled from online sources, because I do not have the resources to obtain copies of documents such as birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licences, and so forth.
I have pulled together information gleaned from various free websites, and put it into a biographical template that I designed for genealogical purposes. The template is not perfect, and I stopped working on it a few years ago in order to give more attention to my website; however, at some point in the future I may go back and do more work on it. If you would like, in a few weeks I can email you the partially completed biography for Flossie Dingus; however, keep in mind that it is in the form of a very rough partly-filled-in imperfect template.
Please let me know.

Flossie Dingus
Mr. Mitch Dingus,
My file on Flossie Dingus (maiden name Somers) (Find A Grave Memorial# 45610433) shows that Flossie was 18 years of age on Sunday 31 December 1905 when she married 30 years of age James William Dingus. James William Dingus was born on Wednesday 16 June 1875 in Guernsey County, Ohio and passed away on Tuesday 27 September 1927 in Beaver Township, Noble County, Ohio. I do not know where James William Dingus was buried or the number of children if any that he and Flossie may have had - only because I have not yet had to to research the information. I thought I would give you this information so you can put it together with any information you might have to complete Flossie's Find A Grave memorial page.

As I created the above memorial, I find it quite high-handed of you to add the marking to send all information to you for editing. As her GRANDDAUGHTER that right should be mine. Please remove the request from the memorial.

[authors: Alicia B. Davis, Casey Servais]
On May 30, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held that a bankruptcy court in one federal district lacks jurisdiction to determine whether a debt was discharged under a chapter 11 plan confirmation order issued by a bankruptcy court in another federal district. Alderwoods Group, Inc. v. Garcia, 1:10-cv-20509-KMM, 2012 U.S. App. LEXIS 10891 (11th Cir. May 30, 2012). The decision makes it clear that a debtor must seek enforcement of its discharge order in the same federal court that granted the discharge in the first place.
The claims at issue in Alderwoods arose from a class action lawsuit filed in Florida state court in 2004. The defendants in the lawsuit were a group of affiliated companies that operated cemeteries in dozens of states. The class action plaintiffs were individuals whose relatives were buried in the defendants' cemeteries. The plaintiffs alleged that, due to inadequate record keeping, the defendants were unable to locate the gravesites of the plaintiffs' family members upon request.
Prior to the filing of the class action lawsuit, in June of 1999, certain of the defendants had filed a chapter 11 petition in the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. In December of 2001, the Delaware bankruptcy court entered a plan confirmation order that discharged all claims, including unknown claims, that arose against the defendants prior to the plan's effective date of January 2, 2002. In the plan confirmation order, the Delaware bankruptcy court also expressly retained post-confirmation jurisdiction over the reorganization.
Two years later, the plaintiffs filed the class action complaint in Florida state court alleging various torts related to acts of the defendants prior to the petition date. The defendants then filed a "complaint" in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida seeking a declaration that the class action plaintiffs' claims had been discharged in the chapter 11 case. The class action plaintiffs in turn moved the Florida bankruptcy court to dismiss the defendants' declaratory judgment complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or, alternatively, to remand the case back to state court.
The Eleventh Circuit began its substantive analysis by noting that a bankruptcy discharge operates as an injunction, meaning that a creditor who attempts to collect a discharged debt is in contempt of court. The ultimate question in the case, then, was which court had the power to enforce the discharge injunction through a contempt proceeding.
Because contempt is an "affront" to the court that issued the injunction, the Eleventh Circuit reasoned that a contempt proceeding must occur in the issuing jurisdiction. Thus, the discharge injunction contained in the defendants' confirmation order was the Delaware bankruptcy court's to enforce. By seeking to have the Florida bankruptcy court enforce the Delaware bankruptcy court's injunction, the defendants were essentially seeking a "successive" injunction—an injunction ordering compliance with an existing injunction. Such successive injunctions are generally disallowed.
In addition, the Eleventh Circuit based its holding on the fact that bankruptcy jurisdiction is principally in rem jurisdiction, meaning that a bankruptcy court has jurisdiction by virtue of its custody and control over the debtor's property. Federal law vests "exclusive" jurisdiction over all of a debtor's property, wherever located, in the district court and/or bankruptcy court in which the debtor's bankruptcy case was commenced or is pending. Because of the in rem nature of bankruptcy jurisdiction, the court that had control over the debtor's property during the bankruptcy case retains jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of a plan confirmation order. The Eleventh Circuit emphasized that this is particularly true where a bankruptcy court's plan confirmation order expressly provides for the bankruptcy court's postconfirmation retention of jurisdiction. Such a provision was found in the defendants' plan confirmation order.
The Eleventh Circuit also addressed a hypothetical objection to its position that the defendants failed to raise, namely that an issuing court might lack personal jurisdiction to enforce an injunction against a particular party who was in contempt. Under the Eleventh Circuit's Alderwoods holding, this would theoretically leave no means of enforcing the injunction against that party. The Court brushed this objection aside, however, by again distinguishing between in personam and in rem jurisdiction. The territorial limitations on a court's authority in a case based on in personam jurisdiction do not apply in in rem cases, where a court's power to enjoin extends to any person who comes into contact with the res. Thus, in rem jurisdiction potentially extends to the whole world.

Our campsite at Fort Steel was amazing
The next day they wanted us in Calgary one day early so we all packed up early again for this time a 250 mile trip! We also needed to be here in Calgary by 4:00 in order to be ready to be picked up for a dinner at the Winter Club! So we made it around 2:30 so all was well this day! We are in the McMahon Stadium parking lot. Electricity and Water and shower facilities at the stadium which are quite nice so we are doing well for 5 days here!! We have lucked out with the weather and are enjoying every bit of what Calgary has to offer. ONE THING IS CLEAR - these people know how to get things done! It is mind boggling to know that just 3 weeks ago, the town, the Calgary Stampede grounds and half the city were under as much as 15 feet of water and you would ABSOLUTELY not know it! They banded together in record numbers and it shows!

Quality Hotel, Excellent Room
Our 2 night stay was most enjoyable. Our room provided everything we expected from a 5 star hotel. Very comfortable with a large modern bathroom with seperate bath and shower.
Located in the centre of the city, however we did not have much time to see the city as the purpose of our visit was to see the Terracotta Warriors.
Perfect location for a great view of downtown Xian
We stayed for one night at The Bell Tower Hotel. We had a "room with a view" and it was very nice - spacious with a desk area and two chairs.
The bed's mattress felt hard when we sat on it but we slept fine. There was a safe in the closet as well as terry bathrobes. The bathroom was very clean and the towels and washcloths were soft and fluffy. There was a phone in the bathroom as well as shampoo, soap and an extra toothbrush and razor. The room also had a coffee pot and packages of coffee and creamer and sweetener.
Breakfast was not included with the room but there are many places to eat nearby - including MacDonalds and Starbucks.
Unique Quality: We had a great view of the main street in Xi'an. It was especially beautiful at night. The location is excellent. It is near a huge shopping center which includes MacDonalds and Starbucks. It is within walking distance of the Bell Tower, city gate and the Muslim quarter.
Most Strategic Location in Xian
Room rate - value for money.
Service level - moderate
Facilities - moderate
Amenities - reasonable.
Hotel is a bit old but clean.
Definitely would recommend this hotel to someone else who would like to visit Xian.
Room reservation can be made through websites like www.elong.net or www.ctrip.com and the price is the same as walk in price.
Unique Quality: Strategic location. Easy access to the city, pedestrian tunnel and within walking distance to tourist attraction places such as Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Muslim Streets and City Wall Gate. Infact you can buy great paintings selling by locals next to the hotel during night time. The price of the paintings (large size 1m x 2m) about 30-50 CNY depending on your bargaining skills.
Directions: Located near the Bell Tower of Xian.
Best Location in Xian
When we first entered the Bell Tower Hotel in Xian we saw the full-size terracota warriors (copies of course) standing at the entrance, reminding us we were in Xian and were going to see the "real" terracota army the next day!
We entered our room and opened the curtain, and there it was, right outside our window: the beautiful old Bell Tower and the traffic circle around it, the epicenter of Xian City.
The hotel is also located within a short walking distance from the Drum Tower and the quaint Moslem Quarter with its mosque, market and food street.
Our room was spacious and comfortable, arranged as half bedroom and half sitting room.
The staff spoke English and was helpful. Breakfast was good, with Western and Chinese food.
I do recommend this hotel to any visitor to Xian.
Directions: On the Bell Tower Circle, in the center of the city.
Great Xian Hotel
I found this Hotel great.
It is in the centre of the city, generally anything you want to see is within walking distance.
The rooms are largish, spotless, well appointed and the service friendly and good.
Unique Quality: Wonderful location
Bell Tower International Hostel
This hostel has an amazing location - just 50m from the Bell Tower - right in the middle of the city. This place has a big common room, with a pool table and bar/restaurant. I stayed in an 8 bed dorm room in which I was the only person. It is possible for them to pick you up from the train station for free which was an added bonus.
Excellent Location
We were only here two nights. The hotel was very comfortable and well located.Easy to get to the Muslim quarter and to walk around the city.
WE paid 468 RMB per night without breakfast, and got some good breakfast at KFC just round the corner.There is also a starbucks right by the Bell Tower.I booked it through sinohotel.
Unique Quality: Excellent Location at the heart of the city,right opposite the Bell Tower
Directions: Right next to the Bell Tower
Bell Tower Hotel Xi'an - great location
Got the deluxe room online for around 590RMB, which is a lot better than the walk in price of 980RMB. Large room with a sitting area, nice TV, a view of the Bell Tower which is the center of the city. Bathroom is smallish and clean, except our shower curtain smells like mildew. 24 hour spa including foot massage for 98RMB (wash and massage). Also offers full colon hydrotherapy which is a first I've seen advertised anywhere, but did not sum up the courage to try. Because of its city center location, no convenient stores are near, but there are 2 24 hour McDonald's and 2 Starbucks within view from our room, for good or worst. If you must get some cheap water and beer, walk out through the front door, take a left, and you will come to a smallish street to your left. There are stores there where 2 bottles of water and 4 cans of local HANS (not bad tasting) beer for 13RMB. Service staff speak varying degrees of English, and there were plenty of Italian, British, and German folks at the hotel.
Unique Quality: Within walking distance to almost everything in town. Two famous Xi'an restaurants serving dumplings and momo are across the street and so is the Muslim quarter that leads to the mosque. Bell and Drum towers near by, and huge shopping centers on the other side of the round about. Climb the South Gate with a 10 minute walk, and everything else by car.
Directions: City Center
Bell Tower Hotel
Stayed at the Bell Tower Hotel for 2 nights. The rooms are decently sized and more importantly clean.
Unique Quality: Best thing about the Bell Tower hotel is it's location. It's a short walk from attractions such as the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, South Gate of the old city wall and the muslim quarter. Ask for a room facing the Bell Tower.
Directions: Opposite Bell Tower between Xi Da Jie and Nan Da Jie.
Great Location
This hotel is situated, as the name implies, in the old city, near the Bell Tower. It should not be confused, however, with the Bell and Drum Tower Hotel, which is nearby. It is conveniently located within easy walking distance of both the Bell and Drum Towers and the Muslim Quarter, as well as various shopping malls.
Rooms are comfortable with all mod cons, including tea-making facilities and a glossy hardback coffee table type book about China (which is interesting for what it omits).
Breakfast is buffet style with a good choice of western and Chinese dishes.
Directions: Opposite Bell Tower
Fantastic Hostel in Central Xi'an
This youth hostel is actually a hybrid hostel/hotel. It has the great communal areas of a hostel with a good restaurant and travel offices with the spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms of a nice hotel. The rooms have keycard entry with AC, cable TV, hot water, private bath, rooms of the Xi'an Bell Tower, and very comfortable beds.
We paied Y140 for a room after negotiating a Y40 discount.
Tel: +86-29 87233005 or +86-29 87231203
Fax +86-29 87233005
Unique Quality: Great location, from the balcony of the hostel restaurant you have great views of the Bell Tower. The Muslim quarter is a short walking distance away. It is easy to get around from here as the buses to all parts of the city come through here. There are signs and maps to help you get on the right bus.
Directions: On the corner of North Gate and East Street in plain view of the Bell Tower
What a location!!
This was one of the best hotels we stayed in terms of comfort but mostly, location. It was opposite the Bell Tower which was a surreal sight at night (Check out photo on nightlife) and the Katyuan shopping centre. The room and bathroom was quite compact but comfortable. It had satellite TV, fridge, business centre.
I have included a scanned copy of the hotel card with its Chinese name on it.
2 nights US$104
Unique Quality: Location, location!!
Directions: Opposite Bell tower
Xian City Centre Accommodation
A pleasant 4-star hotel right in the city centre and next to the Bell Tower with a Shopping Mall opposite the hotel.
I booked a super deluxe room and the room was clean with nice amenities including complimentary toothbrush, shaver, comb, electronic safe, electric kettle, broadband internet points.
Check-in was smooth with booking done via e-mail throught their website.
Not to be mistaken with "Bell & Drum Tower Hotel" which is across the road from "Bell Tower Hotel".
Cost of Room per night about 680RMB. Divided by 5 of us gives less than US$20 per person.
Central 4-star, excellent location
Excellent 4-star hotel right at the crossroads at the centre of old Xian, opposite the Bell Tower, just 100 metres from the Drum Tower and the entrance to the Muslim Quarter.
The bar is a bit insipid - but better than most hotel bars here - but the coffee shop restaurant on the second floor is bright, and the Sunday lunch buffet is excellent value at 68RMB per head (including free local beer).
Unique Quality: The Sunday brunch buffet!
Directions: Right at the central crossroads in old Xian. The taxi entrance is at the back of the building, off Nanda Jie.
Best location in old town
This hotel was really a great surprise. Located right in front of the Bell Tower (as its name suggests), it is right in the middle of everything you might want to see in Xi'an downtown.
Rooms are comfortable, just enough for a short trip. In the hotel you have two restaurant options: chinese and western. No complains at all about the western breakfest.
Unique Quality: In the second floor of the hotel building there are two travel agencies (CITS and another one - ask at the front desk) where you can book sightseeing tours and the famous east-line - a visit to the terracota army, to the Qing emperor tumb and to the Bampo Neolithic Village.
Directions: Take the shuttle bus from the airport and leave it on the second stop, a few meters away from the hotel.

Welcome to the Creative Pen Train!
Hello and Welcome. This website now serves both as my author platform regarding fiction writing, as well as a showcase for my poems and some of my photographs. I look forward to constructive criticism and feedback particularly from editors and publishers, apart from also the general public.
Works in Progress
The following are an excerpt each from my currently
available short stories
Excerpt 1
The Rally
By H Abdul
(I certify that this is my original work
and that any resemblance to anyone is completely unintended)
a corner of a pebbled side street in Marseilles, a man aged twenty-five was
seated clumsily on a small wooden bench.
It was late evening when only a few people were returning to their homes
from work. Jock Steed kept slumping
forward frequently and his eyes were red, opening and closing frequently. The evening air felt acidic on his tongue
with a mixture of the whiskey he was drinking and the odour of the sea weeds at
the harbour twenty yards away. He
mournfully sang to himself and lifted his bottle of whiskey occasionally at
passers-by. His mahogany chinos and sand
coloured sweatshirt were stained with his drinking.

It was Monday, July 1956.
The white shimmering sun cast its warm glow over the grassy lawns of
Boston University, and cut through the shades of the few scattered oak trees
that reached out to the clear blue canopy of the sky. On the lawn facing the main building the
graduation ceremony took place with resounding success. Among the many alumni who had successfully
gained their degrees were Robert and Joe Hawk.
Some small beads of sweat trickled down the Dean's forehead as he handed
the two brothers their graduation prizes.
Suddenly a gush of wind passed within an inch of Joe, and
he blinked sharply, turning his head.
Immediately after, a loud squeal was heard which sent a shiver down his
side. The hall fell silent, and looking
out the large open window, a kite was seen flying off with its prey.
There followed a pin drop silence, though no one cried at
the graduation speeches. No one got
drunk either or vandalised any property, whether students or academics. Within
minutes the ceremony resumed and Robert and Joe received a particularly
rapturous applause for each of their debut speeches, and both began to look
forward to a career in Law.
About my work
My work is inspired by the writings of, among others, Raymond Chandler and F Scott Fitzgerald. I began my creative work with writing song lyrics. In the 1980's I gained an A Level in English, and then turned my attention to poetry and short stories. Then I began to read the novels of Raymond Chandler and the short stories of Ellery Queen, and Alfred Hitchcock as well as others such as Hemingway as well as a vast number of Victorian novels.
I won a runner up prize for an essay on Peace in the early 1980's and launched my writing work with the motivation gained by this prize.
I got a favourable comment from a professional writer for a poem on the Virgin Mary and a four star rating for a short story entitled Danger Zone on a website entitled writing.com. This helped me gain enormous confidence in writing.
Born in Nairobi, Kenya I had to leave my
homeland (my natural mother was a coastal Kenyan) in 1969 at the age of
16. I stayed for a brief period in
Nigeria at the time of the civil war. I
also stayed in Jamaica for about four years.
My father (of Iranian origin) had gained a teaching contract there at a
High School. My brief stay in Nigeria
was my first close hand experience of civil war.
I came to Reading UK in 1974, and have lived
here ever since. I am qualified in AAT
Accounts at Technician Level, although my work was in customer service.
Other than accounts, I am also schooled in
Literature. This includes course credits
in The Bronte's, Shakespeare as well as in Literary Theory, gained from Oxford University at their Continuing Education department.
I currently write short stories and also have
an ongoing project for book length fiction.
The novel that is being prepared is a literary novel, and one of the
themes is on domestic violence.
I began with writing crime fiction, as a result
of reading a lot of this type of genre; my favourites are still Raymond
Chandler, Dorothy L Sayers, and the Alfred Hitchcock mysteries. I now write literary fiction as a result of a
fondness for the fiction writings of F Scott Fitzgerald, and recently William
Faulkner. I also sometimes still write crime fiction.
Furthermore, I write some poetry. My poetry has mainly been "message" poetry
concerning social issues, but recently I have broadened my scope to write with three
types of poetic structure with a few different genres.
Occasionally I write non-fiction essays. However, the vast majority of these essays
are my political views written from a Marxist perspective.
I am currently a member of The Writers Guild.
From the Briefcase:
The Rent
Damp is returning. I'm frowning
Seeking work, nothing coming
Funds are low, the bank
Threatens more and more
With no one else to help
I'm trembling more and more
I've got to do something now
I've spent lots on education
To feed my intellect
Make my skills perfect
Spending plenty cash on food
Going here and there for a job
Rejections arrive by the score
Emptiness in my flat, my home
Bitterness cuts me to the bone
That clock looks shining
Clean, gold plated. Looks new
I ought to sell it. Pawn it
For many a dollar, not few
It's getting late. I should rush
Almost sold it, face is in a flush

A Delicate
Why is everybody picking on me? Always
The teacher is hollering, shouting
"Why can't you learn. Why don't you see?
The answers are messy, and lacking
In any sense I can imagine"
Could someone please ask him
Why is everybody picking on me?
Going home on a summer stroll
Boy, it could have been fun
Soon the heat, took its toll
I hear a loud shotgun
I run for life, run for shelter
I bump into a police officer
He arrests me on the spot
I tell him, I'm drunk because it's hot
Why is everybody picking on me
In the prison cells so tough
These jailbirds look rough
I take the medicine I'm given
Then released, and forgiven
Back home in his nest
A robin alone in his nest
To isolate him is a crime
We are two of a kind

Being" by Hasan Abdulla
An Evening
Strolling along the river
Blue rippling waters, white swans
Floating downstream, together
In pairs. Warm sun on my cold arms
You were walking with caution
Sombre, attentive for any sign
My heart swelled with emotion
Looking at your solitude, like mine
We walked across each other
Yet managed only a smile
For a moment, I felt warmer
But we drifted apart, for a while
We come and go, with scarce a word
A love affair, few have ever heard
© "An Evening
Rendezvous" by Hasan Abdulla, 07/2016
Dream Girl
I'm floating as in a dream
Scents of rose blossoms, everywhere
She appears, my beauty queen
Like a mirage. Then she will
She haunts my night, my day
I hear her words of love
All along life's lonesome highway
She remains my golden dove
She stands by me, all along
All through the days, and years
With her, I have no fears
My princess; she does no wrong
Yet all through please understand
She's an image in a foreign land

The sailor, opening his drink
Sips his bottle of soda, he's thinking
About a sailboat he had seen sink
Gazing at the sunset, he's mourning
Remembers the parties on the boat
Always it sailed, always afloat
Pangs of sorrow, that are emerging
Looks back at the past
Some things would always last
Tries not to be pitying
Of many an ocean liner
Yet none lovely and finer
Remembers as he takes his drink
About a sailboat, he had seen sink
The coast was warm that day
Strong winds blew its way
The sailboat drowned. Remembers

A Day at
On a bright Sunday morning
Opening a door to a garden
The sun is hot, and rising
The flowers bloom everywhere
And church bells are chiming
Life is still a burden
Going out today to work
The morning is long and tiring
With lunch, sipping a cold lemonade

The River
By the waters of the Nile
Quiet, calm and serene
I paused to rest awhile
In an oasis of evergreen
Along the river flowing gentle
Watching the dhows glide
I felt of a stronger mettle
And I felt a peace inside
Watching the ripples of the water
Eating the fruit of dates
Warm and content, and later
Returning to the hotel gates
The sun slowly set, all the same
Nightfall came, a soft spell
The morning after, the time
For the return flight then came
Looking back and I mourn
The loss of that sojourn
© "The River Nile" by Hasan Abdulla, 09/2016
Outside on the meadow
Greenery begins to show
With flowers abundant; its summer
Out upon the lawn
It's a brand new dawn
Roses are in full bloom
Away goes the frost; the gloom
Grasses have sweet fragrance
Trees reaching high, have radiance

The gift of God's
Snow white swan of
the river
Sailing smooth, a
heart's comforter
Graceful, queen in
my opinion
Song of my heart;
empress of fable
Among many, you
are a divinity
Found in canals,
rivers in the city
Bringing calm,
like no-one else is able
Graceful creature,
a work of art
Friend of so many
My love for you is
The glow of a
happy heart
Swan, white swan
of the water
You make our life

Wheat grows high; golden brown
Warm winds on the prairie
Like caresses of nature's hands
Sunshine glows on the lands
The cotton buds in bloom
Gaiety in each house, each room
Flowers grow bright and colourful
Gone are the gremlins, no more trouble
Skies of blue, clear and light
A canopy of pure delight
Children playing, old men singing
While my banjo is playing
Country roads, quiet and serene
Green grass, trees full of leaves
With birds and nests; like a dream
And the best that's ever been

story submissions:
This short story centres on the theme best depicted in the words of the
French philosopher Montesquieu when he referred to lust and its violent
consequences as "the silent crime".
The location is set in Marseilles, France although most of the story is
outside the motor rally stadium.
(Furthermore, some of the characters are not of French origin.)
This story belongs to the crime fiction genre.
For further details about this short story please contact me at:
This short story is set in 1950's United States. It is about two University Graduates, both of the same family, who become involved politics due to a careless outburst of speech by the younger brother. While they are being subjected to a witchunt, a refugee from Europe becomes attracted to left wing ideology, and is the only witness who can testify in favour of the two brothers. At the last moment, the refugee, an orphan saves their lives.
For further details please contact me at
The location setting for this short story is New Haven, USA. This story is about the lack of coming of age rather than becoming more mature. The theme
of the story is inspired and contained in the famous quote by Rousseau:
"Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains."
Lorenzo, a graduate of Italian origin, arrives at a reunion party where
he looks forward to some enjoyment.
Things go unexpectedly wrong when he attracts the attention of a former
female classmate. She is a young widow,
but the risk is that she has a weakness for alcohol. To add to his problems,
she has a jealous admirer, also a former classmate.

Danger Zone
Danger Zone was first written in early 2006, and the setting for the
story is Londonderry, Ulster (Britain).
This story, a semi-thriller, is planned for rewriting and editing due to
the many inconsistencies in its initial form.
The story's theme is centred on the harsh conditions experienced by
those in poverty, especially the unemployed.
As such there is scarce mention of the sectarian disputes and violence
that has plagued Northern Ireland. Thus,
in place of the story being a political thriller, the theme is based on the
very well-known proverb:
"What you sow you reap" and the antagonist that sows so much hatred and
pain faces a bitter end.
Important Update on "Danger Zone":
The location for this story has now been changed to London although the theme of poverty has been kept. The motive behind this is that I have had the opportunity to visit London and have lived there for short periods in my past.
The Interns
This short story project is due to begin as soon as the rewriting of
Danger Zone is completed.
More Poems:
A Flight
Rome, capital of Italy
Flying there on a plane
Away from life so lonely
I'll go where stops the pain
For I love with strong passion
A dark eyed glamorous girl
I love her with strong devotion
Stronger than stones of pearl
The departure lounge is restive
My heart is light, festive
Flying to Rome, to Italy
So ends a life of drudgery
Away from cloudy skies; persistent rain
To be with the light of my life again

A condor, flying; cruising across the sky
Gigantic; searching for fertile pasture
Majestic; to vie with, we can only venture
Across the Orinoco, and the Atacama
Over the Andes; Only it knows why
Long is the journey to travel
The mysteries, it can unravel
At long last, it's journey's end
Fertile pasture, as only God can send

There are flowers everywhere
Fresh, milder breezes blow
Spring is here; magic in the air
Bluebells, daffodils and delphiniums
Roses, water lilies and rhododendrons
Winds are calmer, and warmer
Melting away the ice and snow
Expressions of delight, and relief
In the hearts of people, the belief
West Side
The hustle, bustle of city life
Morning comes along; a hazy sunrise
People commuting, marching in strife
The vehicles roar all day to work
No time to talk, time to take flight
The nights drag on, sleepless
And morning after, none the wise
Morning comes along, a hazy sunrise
Work is hard to get, to keep
In competition, we are all knee deep

Beaches all around; bright yellow sand
Palm trees growing, abundant and serene
So calm, tranquil, this desert island
The sunshine is warm, radiant
Green vegetation, abundant wildlife
A loner all alone, an islander
With few belongings, a wanderer
Away from urban toil, the bustle
No need has he to argue, to tussle

HK Zamani
My dome paintings are portraits. Perhaps even self-portraits, fragile portrayals. Some are ruins, some are vessels and transport, chrome and against corrosion, DeLorean, stellar. Many of the dome and tent paintings of the past years were less about paint than image. Their recent transmutations are about paint. The new images in these paintings continue to grow out of, or away from their predecessors. They are sometimes devils, then angels. Some are on land, in sky or sea, occasional remnants, reformed or transformed. They are a return as well as departure, departure from the dome image and back to the way I use to paint.
(HK Zamani, 2010)
