The Neuromuscular Basis of Human Motion ++ At the conclusion of this chapter, the student should be able to: ++ 1. Name and describe the functions of the basic structures of the nervous system.2. Explain how gradations in strength of muscle contraction and precision of movements occur.3. Name and define the receptors important in musculoskeletal movement.4. Explain how the various receptors function, and describe the effect each has on musculoskeletal movement.5. Describe reflex action, and enumerate and differentiate among the reflexes that affect musculoskeletal action.6. Demonstrate a basic understanding of volitional movement by describing the nature of the participation of the anatomical structures and mechanisms involved.7. Perform an analysis of the neuromuscular factors influencing the performance of a variety of motor skills. ++ The role of the bones, joints, and muscles in human movement were presented in the previous two chapters. The appropriate function of these systems requires an intact nervous system. Therefore, this chapter takes up the role of the nervous system in initiating, modifying, and coordinating muscular action. ++ Loofbourrow (1973) presented this topic so succinctly and vividly that his classic and still applicable introductory paragraph is quoted here in full as an introduction to this chapter: ++ ++ The forces which move the supporting framework of the body are unleashed within skeletal muscles on receipt of signals by way of their motor nerves. In the absence of such signals, the muscles normally are relaxed. Movement is almost always the result of the combined action of a group of muscles which pull in somewhat different directions, so the control of movement involves a distribution of signals within the central nervous system (CNS) to appropriate motor nerves with precise timing and in appropriate number. In order for movements to be useful in making adjustments to external situations, it is necessary for the central nervous system to be appraised of these situations, which are continually changing. A means of providing this information promptly exists in a variety of receptors sensitive to changes in temperature, light, pressure, etc. These receptors are signal generators which dispatch signals (nerve impulses) to the CNS over afferent nerve fibers. The CNS receives these signals together with identical ones from within the muscles, joints, tendons, and other body structures and is led thereby to generate and distribute in fantastically orderly array myriads of signals to various muscles. This, despite the enormous complexity of the machinery involved, enables the individual to do one main thing at a time. This is integration. It is what Sir Charles Sherrington meant by "the integrative action of the nervous system." ++ The following discussion does not presume to be an exhaustive treatise on neuromuscular mechanisms. It attempts rather to present as simply as possible those mechanisms that are pertinent to the study of kinesiology. Because of techniques made possible by electronic sensing and imaging devices, great strides have been made in acquiring more accurate information ...

The 51-year-old actor has reportedly made some significant changes in his life since his divorce with the 34-year-old actress after six years of marriage, reported Contactmusic.
"Tom has definitely made some changes to his life over the past year since the divorce, He's actually a lot more relaxed and more extroverted," a source said. The superstar couple, who split last summer, have a seven-year-old daughter Suri together.
It was widely speculated that Cruise's obsession with Scientology led to the split of the couple. The source also said that the actor, who was previously married to Australian Actress Nicole Kidman and Mimi Rogers, has been trying to lead a more low key life since the end of his third marriage. "Since the divorce, he's spent some time reflecting and actually letting go," the source added.

11-14-2007, 06:29 PM #1Tmobile settings
hey guys been around here reading and have gotten alot of insight and help from this forum.
So I thought i would share something with you guys too.
I loved that on 1.02 I could have the tmobile settings but they didnt work with 1.1.1.
so I made the file my self and uploaded it .
hope you all enjoy.
im in the middle of working on some other things for us tmobile users too so I will keep in touch.
Contact me and i will send you my settings because everything in mine says t-mobile except.after you select phone settings go all the way down and it says t-mobile services and it will even take you to my t-mobile website as well. the only thing that i havent gotten to changed yet is at the very top it says carrier services but everything else is changed
I got it all saying tmobile . but Def if you would like to team up and work on making the phone more "Tmobile" friendly I would really be intrested.
Also have you noticed that you can no longer get picture messages to your "my album".
I have been workingo n that for a while and i think I came up with a few ideas.. mostly it comes down to how the tmobile servers handle the messages..
If you had a sidekick at anytime you would see that the pics you get sent get sent to your my album ... but also with sidekick your on the danager servers .. I know about that ...
Thing is a few tests that I have done I was able to get the iphone to tell me that I had a message and also give me link to it ... and I was able to veiw ...
well anyway I think our packs are about teh same. but I have the thing on the top part that says tmobile its all tmobile .. and links to there page too ..
Feel free to contact me .. im new on the forums but have been doing this for a while now.

What is the last book you read? I am currently reading "Crazy Love," by Francis Chan and loving it. With three young kiddos in the house, finding the time to read (and actually comprehend what is taking place in the book), is hard to do.
What was your favorite children's book? "The Giving Tree," by Shel Silverstein
What were your earliest memories of writing? I have always loved writing and enjoyed the creative process behind it. No matter what the topic may be, I think it's an amazing way to creatively express one's self.
Were you encouraged to write or was it something that came natural? I think a little of both. 🙂
Are you working on a new book? Always…
What inspired you to write There's just Something About A Boy? After writing and releasing "Mommy Whispers," for my daughter last year, I thought it only fair to express my feelings for my two young boys as well.
What is the most difficult part of writing? Revisions.
What do you do when you're not writing or promoting your books? I am slightly compulsive about event planning and love to orchestrate new events at my church for all to learn from and enjoy.
How do you react to a bad review and have you ever suffered from writer's block? Yes and yes. Bad reviews and rejection are just part of this whole crazy adventure. If anything, you realize that not everyone is going to love your work. Rather than focus on those negative thoughts, I love to relish the reviews where my work has truly blessed another.
Who are some of your favorite authors you would love to dine with? Jesus.
What author inspires you the most and why? See above. Enough said. 🙂
What discipline do you impose on yourself regarding schedules, goals, etc.? I am a "pantser," which means I am not a disciplined writer. As much as I would love to be, most of my ideas are spontaneous and I just have to roll with it.
What do you hope that readers will take away from your book? The message of how much they are loved and adored by their mother (and father), forever, for always, and unconditionally.
What advice you would give to new writers? Just keep writing, creating, researching, and learning. Let rejection motivate you to write even more.
Thank you for this interview.
Book Review/Giveaway: Poodle & Doodle. Ends Feb 11th
Poodle & Doodle by Donna J. Shepherd and illustrated by Jack Foster.
About the Book: Angel, a twelve-pound prissy poodle, is none too happy when Leah brings home Scruffy, a seventy-five pound clumsy Labradoodle. Why ever would Leah want another pet when she had the perfect dog already?
My Review: Angel couldn't understand why Leah would bring home another dog. Her question was, "I'm a fancy poodle pup. Am I not dog enough?" She just could not understand why Leah needed a dog like Scruffy that gobble down his dinner while she takes small bites, or drink out of the toilet or roll around like a mutt in wet and weedy grass; this dog shows no doggie class at all (funny). But she discovers that there may be a reason for keeping him around after all.
Some children find it hard to accept change for example; they can feel overshadowed by a new friend or a new baby. But the lesson in this book is about friendship and how to adapt to change.
Whether you love dogs or not Poodle and Doodle is a cute story that children and adults will find funny. The beautiful illustration done by Jack Foster helps bring the book to life with its bright and bold colors. I highly recommend this book for you children home library and for classroom teaching.

Donna Shephard author of Poodle & Doodle.
I want to thank you for being my guest here on Mymcbooks Blog
Thank you for asking me!
What is the last book you read?
I'm reading "The Exceptional Life" by Stephen Arterburn and John Shore. Evidently, the dawn of 2012 sparked a renewed interest in improving myself.
What were your earliest memories of writing?
I can always remember reading, but not writing until high school. I began to fill notebooks with poetry about teenage angst. I even dared to show one poem to a couple of friends. They began to cry, and I realized how deeply writing can touch others. Then I got busy with singing, work, marriage, kids, and didn't write again until the children were grown. I'm constantly encouraging writers – especially moms – to make time for writing. I regret not jotting down all the wonderful and funny things my children said and did. I have a good memory, but there's nothing like writing in the moment.
Were you encouraged to write or was it something that came natural?
My high school English teacher encouraged me. I did compose a few songs in my twenties, but didn't get back to writing until 2003. Once I started writing, it seemed as if a dam had burst, and I couldn't stop. I'm blessed with supportive family and friends, who kept encouraging me – especially after I got a couple of rejections.
What was your favorite children's book?
I don't remember Mom reading to me that much when I was little. I am the eldest of five children, all born within ten years. That might explain it!
I do remember reading anything and everything I could get my hands on once I learned to read. I think I read all the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys books the library had (yes, the original ones!).
What inspired you to write 'Poodle and Doodle?'
I set up a home studio and started by providing voiceover for book trailers, and I'm now recording audio books. It has been an interesting and fun way to use my voice.
Who are some of your favorite authors you would love to dine with?
I would love to have dinner with Max Lucado. He is such a prolific writer, speaker, minister, and missionary. He wears many hats. I'd love to hear how he manages to do it all and do it so well. Many times, he works with co-authors, which is something I've yet to do, but I'm open to that possibility.
What author inspires you the most and why?
For my children's writing, I'd say Shel Silverstein. When my son came home from school with a Shel Silverstein book, I read it with him, and we laughed and had such fun. I think it made an impression on him as well, because now he buys ME Shel Silverstein books. I love Silverstein's sense of humor and wordplay. I may never be a 'Shel' but I have the same fun as I write for children.
How do you react to a bad review and have you ever suffered from writer's block?
So far, I've been blessed with good reviews. One reviewer thought my rhythm was slightly off in one of my books, and that bothered me. I work for hours – no, make that days, and sometimes months, on my poetry. I analyze the story, the characters, each line, and then each word. But the reviewer still gave the book a positive review overall, so I couldn't complain.
I've never suffered from writer's block yet. Quite the contrary!
What do you hope that readers will take away from your book?
It thrills me when someone writes to me about how her children want my books read to them over and over. That's a child's greatest compliment. I received the most precious picture from a grandfather. His granddaughter dressed up like the little girl in "Poodle and Doodle." She had two of her stuffed dogs at the table and was serving them tea.
I'm extremely blessed when I receive emails from readers inspired and encouraged by the devotions and articles.
What discipline do you impose on yourself regarding schedules, goals, etc.?
A writing friend, Mayra Calvani, emailed to ask if I'd like to be interviewed on her blog "Pets and Their Authors." But she didn't really want me to answer. She wanted to interview my dog! Mayra thought the answers were funny and asked why I hadn't written about Sadie's antics. I thought, "Why haven't I?" and started writing. The book is written from my poodle's point of view. I also write from Angel's perspective on a blog called "Oodles of Fun." I have coloring pages, videos, and fun stories.
Are you working on a new book?
The next book to be released is "Ava's Secret Tea Party." It is my first strictly 'girly' book and I'm having a delightful time setting up a blog with tea party recipes and decorations. The book has recipes and crafts included.
Another book, "Miss Emma Ant" is with the illustrator now about an ant that's the lead architect for her colony and decides to quit her job. The underlying theme is we all (even ants!) have unique talents and as we work together, we can accomplish great things. I've written nonfiction for 'grownups' for several years, but now I'm venturing into fiction with a novelette called "Love Under the Bubble Wrap."
What is the most difficult part of writing?
Finding time, of course, but my personal struggle is finding a singular focus. That's one thing I have to say I'm lacking. I take multi-tasking seriously.
Tell us a little about Devotionals for Children.
My slogan for the Topsy Turvy Time site is "Life without Christ is Topsy Turvy." There are so many things about God's way that seem upside down and backward! God says when you give, you get. He says when you're humble, He'll lift you up. When Jesus came, He came as a servant, yet He's our King. Because I had written a children's book about a topsy-turvy land and I love to write devotions, it seemed natural to write devotions for children about God's wonderful and unique way of loving us.
What do you do when you're not writing or promoting your books?
I like to sing and speak for women's meetings and conferences. I teach an adult class and play the piano at the church where my husband and I pastor.
My Google calendar comes in handy to keep me on track. I write self-imposed deadlines on it, and have reminders sent to my inbox. I write or market every day except Sunday. I've found that if I have a chunk of time, I can write several blog posts and schedule them to be published. I love that feature from Blogger.
What advice would you give parents on selecting the right books for their children to read?
When my children were little, we went to the library and checked out as many books as we could. Many times my kids surprised me with their choices. I read poetry, fiction, nonfiction, funny, quirky, and serious books. I mixed in books suggested for a slightly older age group to challenge my children. Now with the e-readers and growing supply of eBooks, parents have an endless supply of new material along with the classics.
What advice you would give to new writers?
In 2003, I sent in my first submission. Within a week, I met a woman who ran a group for writers online. When she found out I had just stepped my toe into the writing waters, she informed me that I should be prepared for a lot of rejection and disappointment. Thank God, that first submission was accepted. I think He knew I needed that push. I could have easily decided writing wasn't worth trying had I adopted that same negative attitude. If you are passionate about your writing, you won't let the naysayers or even a stack of rejections discourage you.
Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?
Write every day. Write about anything and everything. Soon, your unique voice will emerge. No one else in the entire world writes from your perspective. After you write, join a critique group. And then – submit. If you're rejected, submit again!
I pray for inspiration. God is the Ultimate Creator and I believe we follow His leading when we are creative.
And I hope you'll come visit Topsy Turvy Land soon!
Thank you for this interview.
Thank you for taking time to interview me. I enjoyed it, and hope something I've written will help and encourage your readers.

Book Review: Real Bible Stories of God's Princesses: Princess Stories
Real Bible Stories of God's Princesses – Princess Stories by Carolyn Larsen
About the Book: Little princesses will love reading about the women of the Bible. They will learn about the loyalty of Ruth, the wisdom of Deborah, and the courage of Esther . . . and so much more.
Most important, girls will discover that they, too, are princesses—daughters of the King. As they look into these stories, they'll learn to love God and to follow his Word.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the most special princess of all?
You, special princess, are the daughter of the King.
You're more precious to him than any other thing!
Open this book and help your daughter find value and purpose in living as God's little princess!
My Review: I loved reading the Princess Stories. Children love to dress up like the Disney Princess in the movies and wishing to be a princess. There is a great introduction to this book, "Have you ever wished you were a princess? The bible already tells us that we are God's little princess.
This book has a collection of 29 women in the Bible from the Old Testament to the New Testaments that are loyal, faithful, bravest, and kindest and many more. It follows the story of the princesses, from Eve to Rahab, from Deborah to Esther and from Anna to you, and the last chapter is all about you. You don't have to be daring like Esther or wise like Ruth for God has chosen you and made you special, just the way you are. It gives a summary of each of the women in the bible and their character traits.
Each story starts with a princess and a scripture.
Eve the First Princess
Genesis1:26 – 2:25
And a rhyming verse.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who was the very first princess of all?
A long time ago, before your birth,
Eve was the very first woman on earth."
These are great lessons for kids 4 -8 years to learn the stories of women of the bible and how to apply scripture to their own lives. It is great to know that we are all God's daughters and so that makes us his special Princesses.
Ages: 4 and up

Book Review/Giveaway: Princess Reborn Chapter 1. Ends Jan 31st
About the Book: Lari's puzzled. What's Mom's secret? And could it have anything to do with Lari's, secret?

My Review:This is a graphic novel for comic book fans, teens and young adults. I really don't review comic books but decided to give this one a try. This comic novel is full of actions, drama and suspense. Lari knows that there is something different about her mother that she seems to keep a secret but why, has it anything to do with her secret? A story about super powers, werewolf and villains, time to save the world!

Winner: #2 – Lily Kwan
Interview with Author Lee Tidball.
About the Author: I'm a screenwriter and author who specializes in creating exciting, edgy, family entertainment. My day job is teaching 6th graders. When I began, teaching was the last thing I wanted to do, but I quickly discovered that it not only was very personally fulfilling, but it also gave me a unique perspective on the family audience, kids, middle-grade literature, and what works and doesn't work in family entertainment. After self-publishing two middle-grade/young adult novels (WINDFORK SECRETS, 1998; HIDDEN TALENTS, 2000) that became very popular at my school library (despite no marketing efforts…and no assignments), I began writing screenplays to bring my stories to a more broad, family audience. Two of my scripts, PRINCESS REBORN (based on characters from HIDDEN TALENTS), and SANDI CLAUS (aka Twas the Night Before the Night Before Christmas) have received many Top Ten and Finalist honors in numerous screenwriting contests, most recently winning The Movie Deal 2008 (family category) and Top Ten (family film) in PAGE International Screenwriting Awards 2009. PRINCESS REBORN was also optioned by The Matt Chapman Company LLC.
I also have published PRINCESS REBORN – CHAPTER ONE and TWO, a graphic novel version of my screenplay, which received Honorable Mention recognition in Writers' Digest Magazine's 15th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards (middle-grade/young adult category).
I continue to teach, write, and market my works with the ultimate goal of becoming a full-time writer and creator of produced film and/or TV projects and mainstream-published novels/graphic novels for the family/young adult audience. I would also enjoy partnering with others or helping others on a consultant basis who share my passion for quality, edgy family entertainment.
I am currently represented by Agent JoAnn Carol of the Monteiro Rose Dravis Agency in Hollywood. http://www.leetidball.com
Lee Tidball author of Princess Reborn Chapter 1 & 2
I want to thank you for being my guest here on Mymcbooks Blog
What is the last book you read?
I just finished The Bridge to Neverland. It's the fifth book in Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's Peter and the Starcatchers series, an origin story about Peter Pan. It gets lots of stars from me! Next up is Rick Riordan's The Son of Neptune, second in his new "Heroes of Olympus" series. I'm also currently reading Shannan Sinclair's soon-to-be-published ebook Dream Walker, one of the most fascinating adult sci-fi thrillers I've read in ages.
What were your earliest memories of writing?
I began composing stories sometime back in, like 4th or 5th grade. I loved military history and stuffed animals, so I'd make up worlds for mine and my sister's stuffed animals and write about their military campaigns; complete with battle maps! What a kick, huh?
What was your favorite teen book?
When I was a teenager, books about rebellion and teen angst and such were all the rage. Not for me, though. Spurred on by the Classics Illustrated comic book series (perhaps the world's first graphic novels), I read stuff like Howard Pyle's Men of Iron and Mary Shelley's stunning classic Frankenstein (unbelievable that she wrote the first draft of that when she was just 18). I also read the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and loved it.
Were you encouraged to write or was it something that came natural?
Writing has always come natural to me, but I also was encouraged to pursue it, both from my mother and from various teachers along the way, and later, knowledgeable friends.
What inspired you to write Princess Reborn and why in comic format?
I actually spend most of my time writing screenplays that I market in Hollywood. PR came about when I read on a trade website a call from a producer for a script about a middle-aged superhero with kids. I thought it sounded like a wonderful concept. I had previously written a book called Hidden Talent's; Ginah's Journal's, Journal #2 about a 7th grade girl named Ginah who discovers she has super-powers that came from her estranged father, an alien king on a faraway planet. So I created the outline for a whole saga of Ginah's life, and Princess Reborn is the part of that saga when Ginah, now 40-ish and a rusty, retired ex-superhero living a very normal life, has her own kids, one of whom is now secretly experiencing exactly the same thing as she, Ginah, experienced when she was in 7th grade. I subsequently sent a query to that producer when the script was finished and he said it sounded great!…except he was looking for a MALE superhero! Ooops!
I had the Princess Reborn script made into a graphic novel because, despite all the awards it's won and exposure it's gotten and how much my agent's sent it around, it's still not found a home in Hollywood and I wanted my audience (kids) to be able to read my story. Movie scripts are very easy to translate into comic books scripts, and artists provide wonderful visuals just like a movie does, but it doesn't require a Hollywood producer to spend millions to do it; just a willing publisher, which I was so fortunate to find in Robert Simon at Zeta Comics.
What is the most difficult part of writing?
For every writer, it's different, but for me, there's a couple things. First of all, coming up with a great concept that is fresh and exciting enough to capture my audience, but familiar enough that they can relate to it and not just brand it as "too weird" or something. And the other is constantly wanting to be "perfect" and not allowing myself to just write something and worry about making changes in the rewrite process. The story will need to be rewritten anyway, and I'm very good at that, so it's most important for me to just get the first draft done, yet I continually shipwreck myself with trying to be perfect the first time through.
You are a Grade 6th teacher; tell us about the Movie Club you created.
Actually, I WAS a 6th grade teacher until just this school year, when I retired so that I could devote all my professional energy to writing. I miss teaching very much, especially just being with students, but being a successful writer has been a dream of mine since I was a kid, but it was never going to have a fighting chance of ever becoming a reality if I continued to do it as a sub-career to teaching. There simply isn't enough time and energy to do both, at least not the way I did teaching.
The Movie Club was a wonderful experience I had with an extraordinary group of students back in 2009. Most were in my school class, and we'd get together after school to watch movie clips and learn about how books became movies. The kids would also have time to talk about movies and what they thought made them good, or more importantly, not good, so I could use that info to inform other screenwriters and help create better entertainment for kids. Ironically, Hollywood almost never actually asks such questions of their audience. When I asked one of myHollywoodmentors "Just how do producers decide what kinds of movies to make for kids and families?" they sat dumbfounded for a second and finally said, "I think they just guess." Weird, but all too true, I'm afraid.
Unfortunately, in subsequent years, I didn't have a similarly interested group, so at this time, while my website is still named Mr. T's Movie Club, there is no actual, physical movie club anymore. Hopefully in the future, there will be a "virtual" Movie Club, but I'll need a bigger fan base before launching anything like that.
What do you do when you're not writing or promoting your book?
A number of things. I'm a real fitness nut, so five days a week you can find me either in the gym working out or out on my road bike putting in my miles at some time or other. I just recently turned over 10,000 miles on my current bike's odometer (yay!). I LOVE movies and watch at least one in the theater each weekend. Those that would interest kids and families I write little mini-reviews for on my website so parents and kids can get a "from the audience" point of view of what the movie is like and make decisions about whether it's worth going to or renting or whatever. I still go back to my school and do volunteer work each week, and am around after school writing just in case former students drop by. The school is the one place that they always know they can find me if they want or need. I also love sports, having coached both runners and girls' soccer for years, and so I go to students' games if possible, and this year I'm actually coaching a runner again, a student from my school who shows much promise both in her talent and her personal discipline and determination.
How do you react to a bad review and have you ever suffered from writer's block?
Being a screenwriter, I've had so many "bad reviews" of my work (in the form of rejections) that it almost doesn't faze me at all. Writing is like any art—what people like is completely subjective, and one person's masterpiece can just as easily be another person's piece of trash. It's all part of the biz. I understand this, and try not to take things personal, realize that others feel completely different, and just move on. That said, it's always going to hurt some, though, so at those times, I turn to friends and fans and get pumped back up again J.
What do you hope that readers will take away from your book?
Though in all of my stories I try to infuse themes and good lessons for my readers to "learn" from them, I more than anything hope that my readers will just be able to escape for a while into another world through my books; someplace that's more exciting, fun, terrifying, adventurous, or whatever than their usual existence, and ultimately derive not only enjoyment, but inspiration from them to go out and live their own life with a little more excitement or fun or adventure or passion than they may have before they read my story. If that happens, I've served them well, and that's very important to me.
Who are some of your favorite authors you would love to dine with?
Hmm… Let's see… Around this dinner table would have to be JK Rowling, who I'd ask what it was like writing all those books BEFORE they became such a phenomenon—what was she feeling when she didn't even know if anyone would even read them, much less publish them. Then there would be Rick Riordan, who I'd have a wonderful time discussing mythology with as well as the downside of having your book made into a movie. Avi I'd love to meet and talk about where he got so many diverse ideas, especially for Charlotte Doyle. I'd like to talk with Gordon Korman, Jude Watson, Peter Lerangis, Margaret Peterson Haddix and Riordan about what it was like doing the 39 Clues series, and finally to Natalie Babbit about how in the world she created a serious story like The Search for Delicious out of something that starts out so silly, and turned a simple little story about a ten year-old girl and a strange family into something as profound as Tuck Everlasting. That's for the first dinner J.
What author inspires you the most and why?
I think Jo Rowling has to be the most inspiring to me, simply because her process was so much like mine is; toiling away in coffeeshops (for me, it's bookstores) or at a home desk, living day-to-day, juggling writing with all the other demands of job and life, not ever knowing if anything would ever become of her work, yet continuing to persevere, refusing to give up, and somehow keeping her dream alive, and her pen to the paper, until the big breaks finally came and it all became worth it. The only way a writer with talent can guarantee that they'll fail is if they quit. Thank God she never did, despite all the early adversities. Think what we'd all have missed if she had! Write on, JK!! And I will too!
What discipline do you impose on yourself regarding schedules, goals, etc.?
Some of this is imposed on me by others; my publisher, my agent, a producer, etc. My agent told me last summer that it would really help her if she had an actual script to give to a producer who was interested in a treatment I'd written, so I cranked that one out in four weeks; very, very intense work, writing 3-6 hours a day virtually every day, etc. At other times, working on a new project, etc., things are much more relaxed. I do, however, try to spend at least 3-6 hours a day accomplishing actual writing and/or marketing work for four-five days a week; working on a project, doing an outline, researching marketing outlets, keeping my website and/or Facebook page up to date, networking with other writers or my agent, a producer, etc., writing this interview J. I also count reading good books and going to movies as a more indirect form of work, but that's beside the more structured hours. Usually the morning is entirely devoted to writing, then a break for lunch and heading to school, more work there, then doing other stuff like my fitness workouts, etc. before heading home for dinner and some relaxation.
What advice would you give parents on selecting the right books for their children to read?
Hear me loud and clear, parents! Your child's TEACHER is by far the best resource for what's good and not so good for them to be reading. Also the school librarian. Get with these people before you go out spending money. You and your kids will be glad!
Book reviews on bookstore websites might also be good (gives good audience reaction at least), and special websites dedicated to kids' books or certain audiences are also becoming good sources of info.
I used to trust book awards a lot, but lately book awards have become a lot like the movie Academy Awards; artists awarding other artists for their art, without much regard to whether an audience (or a reader) might actually LIKE THE BOOK!
Teachers and school or children's librarians, as well as savvy website bloggers, can not only tell you what books might be good for your child to read, but also which ones they'd actually want to read that would be good for them, and that's the whole trick. They may also be able to give you inside info on the content of super-popular books and series that might also be controversial or may have "edgy" material that kids get fascinated with, but parents aren't so sure about (think vampires, teen horror, romance, very graphic graphic novels, anime, etc.).
What advice you would give to new writers?
First of all, when deciding what story you'd like to write, think about what stories OTHERS would spend time and money reading, not just you. Make sure your concept, whether fiction or non-fiction, is something that will fascinate and/or inform whatever your target audience is, preferably in some unique way. Writing, above all, is about serving an audience, not just self-expression. If all you care about is self-expression, start a blog or a journal or memoir or something.
Second, don't just dream, but get busy DOING the work. In other words, WRITE!! Every day if possible. Don't be afraid!
Third, seek out a mentor or a support group to teach and guide you, get some good objective feedback from them, and LISTEN to them. Your family members or best friends, no matter how well-meaning, are almost NEVER a source for good, objective feedback. Local writers' groups are much better, and there are also professionals who will help for a reasonable price.
Finally, persevere. In other words, DON'T QUIT!
Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers?
Yes! Princess Reborn is a very unique entertainment experience. Despite the "princess" title, neither Ginah nor her daughter Lari are anything like your average Disney princess (aside from being girls). And just because girls are the heroes here doesn't mean that there's no guys in the story, or that they're all wimps. There's plenty for guys in this as well; action, adventure, a monster or two, aliens, etc., and even stuff for parents, too. The adults in the story aren't morons or caricatures, they're important characters who act like real adults and struggle with adult issues. It's a comic book with wonderful artwork, yet also a seriously fun adventure story for just about anyone in the family. And don't worry about the cliff-hanger ending. PR Chapter Two will be released before the end of 2011, and Chapter Three early in 2012.

Book Review/Giveaway: Where Does My Dadda Go? Ends Jan 29th
Where Does My Dadda Go? By Lara Kimbrell
About the Book: In Where Does My Dadda Go? A baby struggles to understand why his Dadda has to leave home to go to a mysterious place called work. See the grownup world of work through the innocent eyes of a child. More importantly, experience the love between father and child.
My Review: Do you have to constantly explain to your child where daddy goes to in the morning? This book explains why dadda doesn't have much time to spend playing in the morning as he has to leave early for work. He learns that dadda has to work hard and the reason is to support his family to keep them safe and warm. The most important thing about this book is that when dadda comes home after a long day at work, he couldn't wait to see his son. After kissing his wife he says to his son, "There's my sweet baby! I've waited all day for this!" This shows that children do miss their fathers just as their fathers miss them.
There are many picture books about momma loving babies, but not as many that show how much dadda loves his babies. The photo illustrations are realistic and show the daily activities of dadda. I highly recommend this book for parents with young children.

Legal Dissonance
The Interaction of Criminal Law and Customary Law in Papua New Guinea

"This is a valuable, original contribution to the issue of the development of state policy on criminal law in a society in which there is a strong unofficial customary law for the remedying of wrongs." · Gordon R. Woodman, University of Birmingham
Papua New Guinea's two most powerful legal orders — customary law and state law —undermine one another in criminal matters. This phenomenon, called legal dissonance, partly explains the low level of personal security found in many parts of the country. This book demonstrates that a lack of coordination in the punishing of wrong behavior is both problematic for legal orders themselves and for those who are subject to such legal phenomena Legal dissonance can lead to behavior being simultaneously promoted by one legal order and punished by the other, leading to injustice, and, perhaps more importantly, undermining the ability of both legal orders to deter wrongdoing.
Shaun Larcom is Lecturer at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London and a departmental fellow at the Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge. He is also a research associate at the Von Hügel Institute at St Edmund's College Cambridge. He has published a number of book chapters and journal articles, including in the Law and Society Review, Journal of Legal Pluralism, the Law and Development Review, and the Review of Law and Economics.

One problem with exponentially weighted moving averages is that the weight that older samples decays sharply even for very recent samples.
The impulse response of such an average shows this clearly. In the graph to the right, the red line is the impulse response of the exponential weighted average is shown by the red line. The impulse response of a different kind of moving average derived by John Canny in the early 80's is shown by the black line.
The Canny filter puts higher weight on the events in the recent past which makes it preferable when you don't want to forget things right away, but do want to forget them before long and also want an on-line algorithm.
The cool thing about the Canny filter is that it is only twice as much work as a simple exponential moving average. The idea is that if you take the difference between two exponentially weighted averages with different time constants, you can engineer things to give you an impulse response of the sort that you would like.
The formula for such a difference looks like this
w(x) &=& k_1 e^{-x/\alpha} - k_2 e^{-x/\beta}
Here $k_1$ and $k_2$ scale the two component filters in magnitude and $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the time constants for the filters.
It is nice to set the magnitude of the filter at delay $0$ to be exactly 1. We can use this to get a value for $k_2$ in terms of $k_1$
w(0) &=& k_1 - k_2 = 1 \\
k_2 &=& k_1 -1
Similarly, we can constrain the slope of the impulse response to be $0$ at delay $0$. This gives us $\beta$ in terms $\alpha$
w'(0) &=& {k_1 \over \alpha} - {k_2 \over \beta} = 0\\
{k_1 \over \alpha} &=& {k_1-1 \over \beta} \\
\beta &=& \alpha \frac{ k_1-1} { k_1}
The final result is this impulse response
w(x) = k \exp \left(-{x \over \alpha}\right)-(k-1) \exp\left(-{k x\over \alpha (k-1)}\right)
We can do a bit better if we note that as $k \to \infty$, the shape of the impulse quickly converges to a constant shape with mean of $w(x) \to \frac{3a}{2}$ and a total volume of $2a$.

In a season where pressure has increasingly grown on Steve Cotterill for all sorts of reasons, an unknown combination of a lacklustre, exhausted-looking performance at home to Preston, an unsavoury altercation with an abusive 'supporter' at the end of that game, or perhaps a behind-the-scenes disagreement over transfer policy look to have ultimately curtailed his time at Ashton Gate.

Why Cotterill was sacked
In a season where pressure has increasingly grown on Steve Cotterill for all sorts of reasons, an unknown combination of a lacklustre, exhausted-looking performance at home to Preston, an unsavoury altercation with an abusive 'supporter' at the end of that game, or perhaps a behind-the-scenes disagreement over transfer policy look to have ultimately curtailed his time at Ashton Gate.

I had my criticisms of SC but there was no denying that he was totally serious about what he was doing. Can the same to said of our Club set-up especially regarding the off-repeated aim of achieving Premiership football? eg. What serious efforts have the Club made to promote BCFC NATIONALLY so as to support the Manager in attracting better quality players. In your piece you mention Steve Lansdowne quite frequently and Jon Lansdown once. You do not mention Keith Dawe and Keith Burt. Unless you do this, and examine the performance of these individuals who are in power at our Club, your piece can seen as whitewashing the "Board" and their so-called "strategy" at the expense of Steve Cotterill. In other words it is unfair to give the impression that what we have seen is Cotterill's failure alone in all this.
You also mention Steve Coppell. Could you please explain why the only "name" manager we have appointed didn't want to hang around? Could you also explain why the Chairman of St. Johnstone FC knew there was something badly wrong with our "Board" at a distance of 420 miles during the negotiations for McInnes. e.g.. "Who really is the Chairman at Bristol City FC, is it the owner or the person who calls himself Chairman?"
My view, reinforced by the painful recent events (which as you say are in stark contrast to the unforgettably glorious season last year) is that our Club is run in football terms by "amateur fantasists" who know how to delegate in their own businesses but find it impossible to delegate to people who know what's what in the game.
The appointment of a new Manager is an easier task in my view than signing a successful team of players. The "Board" have to convince one person suitably qualified name candidate that they are serious about achieving Premiership football, offer the right deal and then ALLOW THAT PERSON TO GET ON WITH IT WITHOUT INTERFERENCE.
We will see how serious the Club is in this endeavour.- Anonymous16 January 2016 at 16:28
Highly articulate article with all points patiently discussed If the board of Bristol City are true to form the next manager will be sacked in a years time because they do not do their homework If the club are really wanting to push for a Premiership place the board will have to appoint a manager capable and fully experienced as to how to manage at this level At this time of the season staying in the championship is vital for the club alas a change of manager alone will not achieve this without introducing some fresh bodies to help the tired out squad that presently represent the club and for goodness sake give the youth a chance not 2 minutes at the end of a game already lost

I support Bristol City and Spurs. I go and watch both when I can with my Dad - we love it! We find supporting both teams enjoyable, disappointing, fun and frustrating! It doesn't matter what the circumstances of the club, what league you're in and where you are in that league - today showed that with committed players and back room staff, a great set of supporters and a bit of luck how great supporting a team is. It's all about match day. We can stay in this league. Great article by the way - I totally agree with everything you've said - COYR (COYS!)
ReplyDelete - Anonymous17 January 2016 at 19:44
Why did the club appoint a new C.E.O with a mandate to oversee the January transfer window? Seems to me that the"suits" were sharpening the knives for Cotterill as far back as last summer and he knew it, which is why he has not been happy all season. He may be well known throughout the game as an awkward man to work with, and a coach of limited ability but didn't he ever take us on a hell of a ride last season ��
ReplyDelete Great read, I believe his stubborness to change from 3 at the back has cost us big time, and although last saeson was memorable he should have gone November. Watford were the only team in the championship to play three at the back last season but they had the squad to do it. I believe we will survive in the championship by the skin of our teeth so need to continue getting behind the team home & away.

The Local Government Ombudsman said Manchester City Council was guilty of an "abuse of power of nightmarish proportions".
Reasonable inquiries that would have cast doubt on the veracity of the complaints from the woman's neighbour were not made, a report found.
In June 2004 Miss A complained to the council that she was suffering at the hands of anti-social behaviour from neighbour Mrs X.
She claimed she had been subjected to verbal abuse, intimidation, loud music, threats of violence and offensive gestures.
She said she had fallen ill as a result of the nuisance and was receiving counselling.
The council told her to keep a diary of events and said it would also contact police and other neighbours to corroborate the allegations.
In October 2004 an application for an on-notice Asbo was issued in court and a hearing date set for December 3 2004.
Mrs X was unaware of the Asbo until papers were served on her on December 1 2004. Following a short adjournment to allow her to prepare, an interim Asbo was granted against her in court just five days later.
She contested the decision and with the help of 22 letters in her defence from fellow neighbours managed to overturn the decision three months later.
The order was discharged by the court and the case was withdrawn by the council in May 2005 after an internal review of the matter.
Ombudsman Jerry White said in the 10 months between the initial complaint from Miss A and the council review there was no evidence that any interviews with other residents took place.
He added: "It is extraordinary that the allegations were never put to Mrs X before the council sought an Asbo against her, at first behind her back and then by serving papers on her just days before a court hearing.
"It is extraordinary too that it never sought corroboratory evidence from third parties even when some allegations of loud music could have been verified.
"This was an abuse of nightmarish proportions. It should never be allowed to happen again."
Ruling that the council was guilty of maladministration, he recommended that the council review its practices and procedures in the administration of its anti-social behaviour responsibilities.
He said the council had agreed to apologise to Mrs X and pay £2,000 in compensation, after initially offering only £500.
