Friends. Don't Leave Home Without Them.
I recently spent a week slope side in Colorado, with the dearest of friends. These friendships are priceless. They are the types of friends with whom words can be spoken without context, editing, or disclaimers. These friendships are authentic, raw, and vulnerable. Everyone needs to have these types of friends in their life.
How do you know if you have these friendships? Here are some indicators:
- You don't need to filter your words for fear of rejection or fear that your friend might think differently about you.
- You don't need to constantly justify why you said what you did. Your friend gets it, and more importantly, your friend knows you.
- When all hell breaks loose in your life (and it's inevitable that at some point it will), you have someone to call. Not only will they actually pick up the phone, they will also drive over to your house.
- When it's 2am and your house floods, your delayed flight lands at the airport, or you lock your keys in the car, you have a friend who will help.
- You're not afraid to cry in front of them.
- They make sure you're not alone on major Holidays (unless, of course, you want to be).
- You're not afraid to apologize to them, and they're not afraid to forgive you.
If you can't relate to any of these things on this list, it may be worth reevaluating the friendships in your life. But, it's not too late. It's never too late to cultivate real friendships. Yes, it will take time, risk, and vulnerability. But you'll never regret it.

A touch isn't just a touch. {poem}/
We bloom for ourselves
And for each other
Ruby red hibiscus flowers in the sweet heat of summer
The sky rains petals and drips a sunset of magenta creamsicle passion.
In moments like this, the world does not exist
All the frantic doing and spinning wheels of busy fade away
There is only the music we make together...Read More

Cytotoxic drugs may have specific effects on oncogenes and their downstream targets. Increase of cancer cell sensitivity due to repression of an oncogene downstream target can be specifically addressed by combined precision chemotherapy, increasing the therapeutic index of chemotherapy and overcoming resistance to highly selective targeted therapies. Clin Cancer Res; 20(5); 1064–6. ©2014 AACR.
See related article by Grohar et al., p. 1190
In this issue of Clinical Cancer Research, Grohar and colleagues (1) discuss that trabectedin interferes with the activity of the pathognomonic fusion oncogene in Ewing sarcoma EWS-FLI1 and that EWS-FLI1 drives the expression of the Werner syndrome protein (WRN) in Ewing sarcoma cells. The DNA-binding tetrahydroisochinolin-alkaloid trabectedin is an orphan drug, first isolated from a sea squirt in the 1960s. WRN is an antiaging helicase, inactivated epigenetically in some tumors and genetically in Werner progeria. These children display, for example, a high mutation rate due to deficient DNA repair and are prone to sarcomas (2). Because WRN-deficient cells are known to be hypersensitive to camptothecins such as irinotecan, the authors used trabectedin to block EWS-FLI1 activity, thereby suppressing WRN expression and selectively sensitizing Ewing sarcoma cells to the DNA-damaging effects of the active metabolite of irinotecan SN38. They show that trabectedin and SN38 are synergistic and cooperate to augment the suppression of EWS-FLI1 downstream targets, leading to an increased therapeutic index in vivo (Fig. 1). Ewing sarcoma is a rare, but molecularly well-defined malignancy of children and adults, characterized by EWS-ETS (mostly FLI1) and early metastatic spread. Ewing sarcoma represents the paradigm of metastatic cancer.
Molecular precision chemotherapy can be used to increase the therapeutic index of chemotherapy. In addition to their nonspecific effects, certain cytotoxic drugs such as trabectedin have specific effects on oncogenes, to which the cancer cell is addicted, as well as on the downstream targets of these oncogenes. In the case of Ewing sarcoma, trabectedin and plicamycin block the binding of EWS-FLI1 to chromatin (3). Increase of therapeutic sensitivity due to decrease of the downstream targets of the oncogene (4) can be specifically addressed by precise selection of partners in combination chemotherapy. Such oncogene addiction–directed combined precision chemotherapy may overcome the resistance to more selective targeted therapies.
High-throughput genomics technologies such as expression profiling or next-generation sequencing have generated great hopes for the development of targeted therapies, which were expected to increase the therapeutic index. So far, targeted therapies have widely failed in acute malignant diseases of childhood to provide less toxic, more specific, and above all more efficacious cancer treatment (5, 6). In contrast, targeted therapies seem to prime for resistance in malignant diseases, characterized by high genomic and, in case of pediatric cancer, in particular epigenomic plasticity (7, 8). Targeting a single target will never cure a true cancer (9). There are just too many pathways in a cancer cell that can bypass the pathway addressed by the targeted therapy of interest. Moreover, at each meeting, we learn that there are more than we imagined before; there may be a myriad of pathways ahead, unknown to us, but well known to the cancer cell in need to bypass our targeted therapies. Thus, the bottom line of translational medicine re targeted therapy is priming for resistance (10). An exception to this rule is the targeting of those oncogenes, without which a cancer cell cannot survive. This phenomenon has been termed oncogene addiction and is provided by e.g., the AKT serine/threonine kinases or by MLL translocation–induced SET domain loss and DOTL1 partnering.
However, many addiction targets such as mutated P53, RB, Ras, NF1, or EWS-FLI1 fusion and other transcription factor activations are not actionable by targeted therapies. Is, thus, cytotoxic poisoning without alternative in these cancers, characterized, for example, by transcription factor oncogenes such as EWS-ETS?
Possibly, the strict distinction between cytotoxic chemotherapy and targeted therapy is less dichotomized than it was previously hoped. mTOR inhibitors, for instance, do cause a lot of toxicity in combination not only with chemotherapy but also with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), revealing that so-called targeted therapies are nor as selective as expected, at least if they address such widespread targets as in the case of TKI and inhibition of the mTOR pathway.
The present thinking about targeted therapies has been dominated by the cancer stem cell model, assuming that there is a hierarchy of differentiation within the tumor. This concept is the basis for aiming to target one ultimate culprit, the mother cell of the tumor population. This model may not fully represent genomic and, in particular, epigenomic plasticity in childhood cancer. Moreover, plasticity in gene expression in pediatric cancer may be more analogous to the mutation-prone plasticity of HIV when under selective pressure (11). Thus, as long as targeted therapies do not target oncogene addiction pathways, they may well prime for resistance, raising selective pressure to bypass the targeted pathway with alternate rescue signaling. Here, molecular precision chemotherapy may overcome resistance by maintaining the nonselective cytotoxicity, while increasing the therapeutic index, i.e., increasing the sensitivity of the tumor as compared with normal cells to a defined dose of a cytotoxic drug. Increasing the therapeutic index has undergone proof-of-principle decades ago, with the establishment of stem cell rescue from high-dose chemotherapy (or radiotherapy; ref. 12). The most recent affirmation of this paradigm was the introduction of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CART) into immunotherapy. CARTs bypass an evolutionary safety feature that restricts recognition of surface molecules to soluble immune effectors that arose later in evolution than the cellular effectors, which can recognize antigen only when presented by MHC.
How far is this molecular precision chemotherapy approach from the clinic?
The answer depends on your perspective: The major obstacle of translational medicine is the irreproducibility of research findings in the clinic. Only 5% of successful preclinical therapies make it into the clinic. Nevertheless, targeted approaches such as 131I-metaiodobenzylgunaidine therapy or immunotherapy with anti-GD2 for children with neuroblastoma have shown efficacy in the clinic. However, a precision chemotherapy requires a deep understanding of the diverse mechanisms of these broad-acting poisons. Also, pharmacokinetics are a major challenge of clinical translation. What is the optimal dose and the optimal timing of the two synergistic drugs: (i) the oncogene repressing sensitizer and (ii) the drug of action to which the cancer cells, once depleted of the downstream target, are hypersensitive? Are achievable serum levels of trabectedin sufficient to effectively repress EWS-ETS in humans? Dependent on the kinetics of interaction between trabectedin and WRN depletion, trabectedin levels, although not sufficient in repression to overcome oncogene addiction, may be sufficient for consecutive repression of the downstream target WRN to make the cancer cell vulnerable for campothecins.
There is some hope on the horizon as far as serum levels go, as there are trabectedin analogs under development that reach 15 times higher serum level than the parent drug. As an alternative to the oncogene interference described here, repression of WRN may be achieved by epigenetic silencing.
In addition, it might be very helpful to measure the DNA damaging profile after irinotecan with and without trabectedin to definitively prove in the clinical setting, that the DNA damage by irinotecan is selectively increased in cancer cells by sensitization to camptothecins via repression of the oncogene and consecutive repression of its downstream target WRN by trabectedin, which, by itself, is not sufficiently cytotoxic to kill the cancer and to cure the patient. In conclusion, molecular precision chemotherapy targeting oncogene addiction may have a potential to overcome resistance to targeted therapies

Baku. 16 October. REPORT.AZ/ Kazakhstan's national carrier Air Astana has adjusted route of flight Almaty-Baku and changes the routes of flights Almaty-Tbilisi and Almaty-Istanbul because of rockets launched from the Russian naval forces' ships in the Caspian Sea.
Report informs referring to TV channel 'Astana' Air Astana has changed route of its flight Almaty-Baku-Almaty because of the situation in the Caspian Sea region.
"The routes of flights Almaty-Tbilisi and Almaty-Istanbul can also be changed in the near future. Aircrafts will be directed along the way that will allow bypassing the Caspian Sea fully," the TV channel said.
According to the TV Channel, currently Air Astana is awaiting permission from the Russian Federation over the territory of which along these routes run. The airline stated that duration of flight Almaty-Baku has increased due to the change in the trajectory as well as fuel consumption, but that will not affect the cost of the tickets.
"Of course, we ask passengers to treat that with large understanding as it is a measure to increase the safety of flights," airline's representative said.
Previously, the European Aviation Safety Agency warned the airlines that carry out flights over the Caspian Sea about the recommendations it will send out soon. The recommendations relate to change of flight routes because of the launching of rockets from Russian Naval Forces' ships.

Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes
Spent the morning in a screenwriting workshop (I was glad to get back to doing client amends on bill stuffers, I can tell you).
All the writers got to go on it for, you know, training. One of the exercises beforehand was to read the screenplay of The Godfather then watch the movie. I'd recommend you give it a go. The screenplay's a great thing in and of itself, it's actually a lot faster-paced than the movie. You can download it here.
Anyway, can't sit here blogging all day when I've got amends to lazily agree to.

Miners VB gets sweep
By Jarann Johnson
Most of the time when a high school team collects a sweep the head coach and players walk away with facial expressions that show happiness. But after a 3-0: 25-19, 25-14, 25-23 home win over Richardton-Taylor early last week, the Beulah Miners walked away with facial expressions showing frustration.
Beulah head coach Kevin Peterson was mostly frustrated with his team's inability to consistently communicate with each other and move on defense during the match.
"I just thought, 'We're taking some things for granted right now and eventually that could cost us a match.' I mean, we're a month away from the region tournament and we still won't talk at times and we can't figure out that when we struggle -- we can't move our feet and we don't talk. So, it's frustration right now."
Even though Peterson was frustrated with his team's communication and defense it didn't hurt the Miners in the first two sets of the game, mainly because Richardton-Taylor committed a lot of errors. The first set of the match was close at 12-10, then the Miners made a move. The Miners went on a short 3-point rally capped by a Jaime Murschel kill for a 15-10 lead.
Richardton-Taylor called a timeout after Murschel's ace but it was too late. The Miners won the set 25-19. The second set was close early on but ended in another Miner win.
The score was tied 10-10 when Mikayla Aluise, senior outside hitter, committed a serving error giving Beulah an 11-10 lead. Aluise's serving wouldn't hurt Richardton-Taylor initially.

On Saturday, I saw Woody Allen's 1988 drama, "Another woman". I didn't enjoy the film very much - it looked incredibly dated - but my ears pricked up at the beginning when Satie's "Gymnopedie No. 1" was played at the beginning. This wasn't the simple piano version but rather Debussy's orchestration.
At the end of the film, the piece is credited as "Gymnopedie No. 3" and IMDB lists this as a goof. But further reading about these pieces reveals that in February 1897, Debussy orchestrated the Third and First, reversing the numbering. Thus it seems as if the film credits are correct: when played by an orchestra, the piece is called "Gymnopedie No. 3", but when played by solo piano, it is called "Gymnopedie No. 1".
I am going to stick with the original numbering: it makes life so much easier. If you are lucky, below will appear a media player which plays an edit of my syncopated version of "Gymnopedie No. 1": this edit serves as the ringtone on my mobile phone for unidentified callers.

Kylie Jenner urges she's never acquired significant plastic surgery, in spite of steady hunch about her transforming appearance.
In an interview with Paper magazine, the beauty magnate dealt with the out of control gossips. "People assume I fully went under the knife as well as entirely restored my skin, which is actually totally misleading," she said.
"I'm terrified. I would certainly never" she incorporated.
As an alternative, Jenner connected the facial attributes that triggered the speculation swirling about her to, among other products, fillers.
The rumor-mongers "don't know what really good hair and also make-up as well as, like, fillers, may actually carry out," she claimed. Of fillers, she claimed, "I am actually not refusing that."
Injectable dermal fillers "can easily plump sparse lips, improve superficial contours, soften face furrows [as well as] eliminate lines," depending on to the site for the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Jenner recently has actually referred to making use of make-up to over-line her mouths while likewise issuing the plastic surgery denial.
"I have not possessed plastic surgery. I've never been under the knife,"she informed Grazia publication in 2015. "People hallucination to images of me when I was actually 12 and also state Kylie's thus various, however how can I appear the very same coming from 12 to 18?".
She eventually confessed all concerning making use of lip filler on an episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" in 2015.
"I possess momentary mouth fillers, it's just an instability of mine as well as it's what I would like to perform" she mentioned at that time.
"I am actually just not prepared to talk to reporters regarding my lips yet due to the fact that every person constantly picks our company apart," Jenner incorporated. "I wish to admit to the mouths, yet individuals are actually therefore fast to judge me on whatever, so I might possess tiptoed around the truth, yet I didn't lie.".
Likewise in 2015, she opened regarding her lips in a job interview along with the New York Times.
"I still carry out Juvéderm (a filler) for my lips. I most likely to Dr. (Simon) Ourian in Beverly Hills. He's the greatest, and also he is actually super-natural about it," she said to the paper. "I was going to a person before, and it was merely looking outrageous".
In July 2018, the fact superstar was actually back to making headlines for her mouths after uncovering on Instagram that she "eliminated all my filler".

Germany leads the future with the world's first ever hydrogen-powered trains. The first two trains were launched on 19th September 2018, that signalled yet another victory towards a sustainable future.
Petrol and diesel being limited resources. In recent years with prices of diesel and fuel hiked up, and the hydrogen-powered trains are a new way out. They produce no greenhouse gas emissions, and they are cheaper to run than their fossil fuel counterparts.
The Cordia iLint hydrogen-powered passenger train was developed by a French company called Alstom. They claim to be a "zero-emission train that emits low levels of noise, with the exhaust being only steam and condensed water." According to Alstom "The iLint is special for its combination of different innovative elements: clean energy conversion, flexible energy storage in batteries, and smart management of traction power and available energy. Specifically designed for operation on non-electrified lines, it enables clean, sustainable train operation while ensuring high levels of performance."
At the unveiling ceremony in Bremervoerde, the station where both the hydrogen-powered trains will be refuelled with hydrogen. Alstom CEO Henri Poupart-Lafarge, "The world's first hydrogen train is entering into commercial service and is ready for serial production."
The two bright blue Cordia iLint passenger trains will operate in between northern German towns and promises to hit up to a speed of 140 km/hr or 86.9 MPH. They have confirmed to run on 100 kilometres (62 miles) on track.
It is also known that the gaseous hydrogen that will be powering the trains, will be pumped from a 40-foot high steel container near the tracks of Bremervörde station.
Though the Cordia iLint trains are known for running a shorter track, they are very much capable so much more. They can run around 1,000kms (600 miles) with just one single tank of hydrogen, that is on par with a diesel engine train.
When questions were raised about the expenditure of the train, the project's manager at Alstom said, "Sure, buying a hydrogen train is somewhat more expensive than a diesel train, but it is cheaper to run," which implies that, an individuals journey from the start point to his destination will come at a cheaper rate.
Alstom also seems to be very optimistic that the Cordia iLint will create a mark for itself, not only by becoming the world's first hydrogen-powered train but also focusing on making non-electrified trains lines more eco-friendly. It is hopeful that the Cordia iLint will turn out to be a great hit.
Alstom hopes the two trains are just a preview of what's to come. It has claimed of delivering more 14 Cordia iLint trains by 2021, while there are already deals in place for another stationary filling station by the same year.

Kerala fish thala curry. I tastes yummy. It's a nadan fish curry.
Another try with fish.
A very tasty recipe with sardines
Was searching for a variety fish curry. This is a variety one because i never tried tamarind in fish curry. Taste good when mathi is having enough fat.
I love fish pickle a lot. Always I ask my mom to prepare for me. It is very tasty too. But it got finished. So we thought of trying it. Again a success. Tasted very good.

Truth and lies.
Captain Jamie Callahan knows the Metahuman Defense Force frowns on fraternization. For once in his life, he's breaking all the rules. Having Staff Sergeant Kyle Brannigan on his team and in his bed is worth the risk of being found out. When a mission comes down requiring Alpha Team to go undercover in order to infiltrate a criminal alliance, Jamie knows it won't be easy. Putting his family's name on the line is nothing compared to the role the MDF wants him to play – that of a billionaire's son, discharged from the military, with a lover on his arm, looking to make his own shady business deals.
Dirty little secret.
Kyle knows the only way to be with Jamie is to hide their relationship from their superiors. Waking up to Jamie at home is more important than being together in public, or so Kyle thought, until he comes face to face with what he's been missing. Pretending to be a couple on paper for the sake of the mission thrusts Kyle into a world of incredible wealth and a social status he's not sure he belongs in, but he'll do anything to stay by Jamie's side.
Play the game to win.
Surrounded by the enemy, Jamie and Kyle need to trust each other now more than ever. Their covers – and the life they're trying to build together – depend on it.
In the Ruins is a sequel to In the Wreckage, and you're definitely going to want to listen to In the Wreckage before diving in to enjoying this, because these are not standalones.
This has a great story, interesting world building, plenty of action (both in and out of bed *winks*), and multiple points of view (including Kyle's brother Alexei and a new team member!). I'm going on record right now saying I love this cast of characters. LOVE THEM.
On top of the great story we have the wonderful narration by Greg Tremblay, under his sexier Greg Boudreaux brand. Greg makes sure the listener is able to easily follow along with the large cast of characters, and their accents, and all the action without getting lost and having to repeat sections. I mean, some of the sexy bits might be something you rewind – but you don't have to…if you know what I mean.
I can always tell how much I'm enjoying listening to an audiobook by how upset I am if I'm interrupted or forced to set the audio aside for several days, and the fact that I was so mad every time I had to pause In the Ruins means, for me, this was a terrific listen. The narration here makes a great story even better.
In the Ruins is a sci-fi, military, steamy romance with multiple POV and a HFN ending. I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series, In the Shadows and seeing Alexei get his man.

Tips for parents when dealing with a child's declining grades and performance:
★ It's okay to reflect on the past, but live in the present: What your son did in 5th grade means little when he's a junior in high school. The immense physical, emotional, cognitive changes that teenagers experience from middle school through high school is wicked, and entirely unpredictable. Reflecting on the past is mildly productive when done correctly. Boosting a teen's ego, or attempting to rebuild their confidence by bringing up projects or assignments from years ago stem from old thinking that's obsessed with product. I bet you remember the grade they earned, the score. That's great, but it's not now, here in this present moment of their struggling life. Is there anything now, regardless of how teeny-tiny it seems—that they are doing well? Not grades! That's product. We're focusing on a shifted emphasis on process. Maybe they are on time every day? Or give 100% every time they step foot on the lacrosse field?
★ Embrace shoulder time: By the time you arrive to a place that warrants a conversation regarding their academic vibrancy, I imagine there is a lot you want to say and address. Check yourself before you wreck yourself. Too much too soon will kill the conversation. The goal here is dialogue and not a parent monologue. Sitting down at the kitchen table is also an effective way to suck the productive air out of the room. Instead, use shoulder time. As the name suggests, it's carved out of time spent next to your child. Think chairlift skiing, at a baseball game, on a road trip (only if they're riding shotgun), at a loud and large restaurant dinner. Pick a time when their guard is down, and you can simply pick their brain to get some form of self-reflection or self-assessment. Please do not confuse this with an ambush. It is not the time to list all the ways they are dissimilar to their 10-year-old self. This is, however, an excellent time to ask some open-ended questions. For example: what class do you feel most successful in right now? Why? What makes it different than a class you're feeling unsuccessful in right now? Oh, really, what's that class? Where are you feeling frustrated with that class? What can I do to help you? And so on. Gentle. Subtle. And then zip it. You get a maximum of 8 minutes.
★ Engage influencers and positive role models: You'll find I mention this a few times in this book, and that's because teens respond better to third-party influencers. Sometimes doing your homework doesn't seem so damn annoying if you get to do it at with your uncle at Starbucks while he works remotely. Sometimes you cannot for whatever reason articulate your hopes and dreams, or regrets and fears, to your mom and dad, but can easily reveal them to your little league coach – turned neighbor. If you feel stuck, or ignored, turn to another trusted adult to deliver your message and retrieve your information.
★ Change the routine: Nothing changes if nothing changes. Sometimes raising teens calls for a batch of shock and awe. We'll address this in more detail later, but teens are creatures of habits and operate in strict habit loops—their standard operating procedure. Where they study, when, how long, with whom, distractions, how or if they seek extra teacher support, their level of communication etc. Breaking their ineffective habits sometimes needs to be part of a habit loop disruption, whereby their overall routine is disrupted, deconstructed, and rebuilt. You already do this when you ground them, or take a phone, or keys to the car.
- Examples of changes in routine:
- Earlier bedtime
- Earlier wake-up time
- Location where they study
- Proximity to technology and other distractions
- Ability to participate in extracurricular activities
- Access to social events and friends

How to Hook Listeners with Your Intro
Did you know that there's a 20–35% drop-off of listeners within the first 5 minutes of a podcast? That's up to a third of listeners per episode.
So how can you make sure that you retain those listeners in this crucial window at the start of your show?
Here are a few strategies you can deploy in your next episode.
Dive right in
While the safe bet might be to spend the first couple of minutes laying out the details of the episode, what you'll be covering, how it came to be, who you'll interview etc, you could take a different approach and drop listeners into the midst of the action.
Maybe it's into the middle of that interview with a choice soundbite, or from while you were out recording in the field. This approach can provide a sample of where the show will go or end up, giving listeners a reason to stick with the episode.
Create intrigue
Much like clickbait headline formats in articles like "You won't believe why X did Y" or "Z happened but what comes next will shock you", you can try these out at the start of an episode to create space for a payoff later in the show.
This format obviously isn't a new concept. It's why we still watch bad crime shows, love (and, possibly, hate) Buzzfeed, and suffer through "find out after the break."
Whether we like it or not we usually fall for it, and chances are your listeners curiosity will be piqued too by a mystery that you'll solve.
Ask questions
Did you notice that the first sentence at the top of this piece was a question? So was that last line.
A question demands an answer and your episode will give listeners that answer.
Questions provide an innate curiosity, too and allowing them to be unresolved while the show takes listeners on a journey for the answer plays into the previous point of creating intrigue.
You're the host and you know your audience best. Play into what they love most about your show to keep them coming back.
Remember, each episode could be the first time someone hears your show so how could your intro be as welcoming to new listeners as it is to current ones.

5 Important Tools Every Screenwriter Should Have
Before you sit down to write your next script, be sure to get these five essential tools ready to help you with the task.
Cover image via Thrillist.
It's been said by thousands since, but I believe it was Alfred Hitchcock who first once said, "To make a great film you need three things — the script, the script and the script." And in today's wild age of film and video content run amuck across an ever-growing range of film festivals and digital platforms, it rings absolutely true today.
At the heart of every good film is a good script, and at the heart of a good script is a great story. To truly master the art of scripting, a screenwriter needs to harness every tool at his or her disposal to create scripts that can resonate with audiences and pop off the page to bring your story to life.
So, if you're looking to be the next Paddy Chayefsky, Aaron Sorkin or Diablo Cody — or are looking to put your story down in proper script form for the first time — here are five things you need to succeed.
1. The Hero with a Thousand Faces (and Subsequent Readings)
Image via Tally Pendragon.
Let's start with the most fundamental of the fundamental. If you are unfamiliar with the works of Joseph Campbell and his Hero's Journey, you need to start reading up now. Campbell's famous book contains the most important formula not only for screenplays but for stories of all kinds. However, while the book itself can be a little dense, there are also plenty of great writing resources (and blogging online) to help you learn how to master the art of the Hero's Journey for your own work.
2. Script Writing Software

Only once you've done your formative work should you even consider writing your script. It's also worth noting that before diving into the actual script, it would certainly make sense to work your story out as a concept first. But for the sake of this article, specifically on screenwriting, let's assume you have and we're diving into the actual scripting. Unless you want to do your writing on a word processor long-form, you're going to need software that helps with things like formatting and hotkeys to streamline your writing process.
I'll always suggest Final Draft as the industry standard, but there are several great options available (many of which are free!) that will work as well.
3. Formatting Guide
Image via Shutterstock.
One of the biggest reasons for using script writing software is formatting. A good software will help you work with different things like action, dialogue, and blocking directions. However, to truly grow as a script writer, you'll need to understand how scripts are formatted (and why). The following are some good resources.
- How to Format a Screenplay
- Script Writing Example & Screenwriting Tips
- Screenplay Format Guide
- What is standard screenplay format?
4. Online Resources
Image via Shutterstock.
Once you fully dive into the screenwriting world, one of the best ways to stay engaged and continue to grow is to constantly read about the art form. Luckily, there are some really great resources for screenwriters online. Here is a great mega-list, and below are some select few to dive into from award-winning screenwriters who provide great tips, tricks, and conversations.
- The Script Lab
- Screenwriting from Iowa
- John August
- Jen Grisanti
- The Bitter Script Reader
- /r/screenwriting
5. Script Review Services

Additionally, if you're looking for feedback on your scripts, there are plenty of resources for reviewing scripts and getting advice on everything from character, to plot, to dialogue — and support for getting your scripts Hollywood-ready. However, these services are not free (or even cheap), but they can be helpful for beginning screenwriters desperate for real feedback on their projects.
If you're still hungry for more screenwriting resources, here are some other great articles to check out.

Golden Hour Engagement Photography
Chad and Ashley are the cutest things. They are so sweet and kind to each other, and you can tell how much they love each other by everything they say and do. These guys met a few years ago at work. Well Chad remembers them meeting, Ashley completely forgot. So he had a crush on her, the cute receptionist, for months, sneaking glances and hoping to chat with her. Finally he worked up enough courage to ask her on a date! And she said YES. She actually had a brief moment of panic the hour before the date when she realized that she had accidentally eaten SIX fiber 1 bars and nothing else that day! She called her roommate freaking out and asking if she should cancel the date! Fortunately her roommate was able to talk her down and convince her to still go on the date. So she went on the date. And it went well! There was obvious chemistry between the two of them, and there was an instant connection. She couldn't believe that she had worked at the same office as him for so long without noticing him!
After a few months of dating, Chad knew that Ashley was the one. So he decided that he wanted to marry her! So he got a ring, and planned how he was going to propose. He took her on a hike to a waterfall. He had the ring in his back pack and was worrying the whole time that she would find it. They made it to the waterfall, tired and sweaty so they decided to eat the lunch that they had packed. He asked her to grab his knife from his backpack, and when she did, she discovered the ring box next to the knife. "What's this?" She asked, confused. "Do you want it?" he said. And then she freaked out! She was so thrown off by his casual demeanor that she didn't realize that he was even proposing!
Chad and Ashley are planning an elopement on an island with only their closest family and friends. Its important to them that their ceremony and their vows be witnessed by only the most special people in their lives. I love couples that choose to celebrate their special day the exact way that they want to and make the brave choice to say "no" to tradition, and "no" to the expectation-filled event, and "no" to "what would aunt Betty say if she wasn't invited?". It is YOUR ceremony and it is not FOR Aunt Betty or ABOUT Aunt Betty, it is for YOU and about YOU. This is the day that you are beginning the best adventure that life has to offer and I would hate for you to kick it off in a way that you regret!

I understand that since Occupy, the city doesn't want to encourage people to hang out in this area, but poor lighting is a serious public safety issue.

Cars entering bike lane at curve near Webster/20th Acknowledged1953 Webster St Oakland, CA - Lakeside
Ever since the bike lanes have been installed on Webster Street in Downtown Oakland, the curve just south of 20th Street has been problematic. Nearly every driver in the rightmost lane cuts into the bike lane at this spot, and I have had many close calls on my bike nearly getting hit by cars because of this. In the short term I think installing flexible plastic bollards through the curve between the bike and travel lane here would be an acceptable solution, and then down the line when the street gets repainted a buffer could be installed to account for drivers who can't stay in their lane.
There is another problem with the bike lane on this block of Webster south of 20th, as deliver truck, public works, utility, and private car drivers will often park in and block the bike lane. This happens everywhere else on every bike lane in the city, too, but here it is more dangerous as the buildings block the view of the street after the curve, especially for cyclists in the bike lane to the far right. This means cyclists have to either slam on the brakes to avoid hitting vehicles suddenly appearing in the bike lane ahead or swerve left into traffic that is already swerving right into the bike lane. The solution to this would be either increased enforcement of double parkers, or turning those parking spots into loading zones for trucks so that they can park safely at the curb instead of blocking the bike lane.

Many of you may have made New Year's resolutions that included exercise. Hopefully you are still striving toward your goals. I wanted to explore with you a popular form of exercise that is short in duration but high in intensity. This is called HIIT – High intensity interval training. It is often touted that you can get a full workout in 20 minutes or less. A HIIT workout usually combines intervals of intense (all out or near all out) exercise for 10 to 60 seconds with a recovery period between of 1-4 minutes.
The advantage of this type of exercise is that you can get in a full, challenging workout in a short amount of time. This is huge for people who often claim they have no time to work out. The benefits of HIIT are that it promotes healthy blood glucose levels, increases the amount of oxygen you can consume and use efficiently and increase muscle endurance. You will begin to produce noticeable results within 2-3 weeks.
The disadvantages of HIIT are that it can initially produce quite a bit of muscle soreness. It is a difficult, sometimes unpleasant type of exercise and this can lead to people abandoning it just because they don't like it. Whenever you are getting into more intense exercise there is also a greater chance of injury.
When considering exercise, I always encourage people to try to find something they enjoy doing or find an exercise they can incorporate into their existing daily routine. If HIIT sounds like something you may want to try you can find out more at https://www.acsm.org/docs/brochures/high-intensity-interval-training.pdf.

How you can get FREE stuff from this Sheffield branch of Lidl
Want to know how to get freebies from a Sheffield branch of Lidl? Then read on!
Many shoppers don't know that when a new store opens, customers can pick up a card that gives you a freebie every week for six weeks, as long as you spend £20 or more.
Of course, it is a move aimed at getting people through the doors, but it is also a nice way to get something for nothing.
The budget supermarket hands out the cards - known as the Lidl Welcome Card - to local residents ahead of the stores opening.
And the Catley Road store in Sheffield is one of the stores available.
But you can also ask for one of the cards in store, so if you're working in the area, you can benefit from the deals too.
They've been running the scheme for about a year now but not many people know about it.
You can pick up the deals six weeks following the store's opening but if you miss a week you won't be able to claim the deal at a later date.
Lidl has a full list of what stores are currently running the deals. There are currently 38 stores nationwide that opened this week, meaning you can pick up the full six weeks of deals.
The cards can only be used at the store that's named on the back of the card and, unlike a membership card, they don't collect any personal data like tracking your spending.
And if you live or work near the store in Catley Road then you can pick up a Lidl Welcome Card.

Thanksgiving eve storm threatens travel plans
Airline officials and road crews along the East Coast ramped up preparations Monday to deal with a storm system that could threaten the Thanksgiving holiday plans of millions of travelers.
American Airlines, which operates US Airways flights since their December merger, announced it is waiving ticket change fees for passengers headed to any of 18 Mid-Atlantic or Northeast airports that could be socked with heavy snow and wind-driven rain Wednesday, on the busiest travel day of the year.
Meanwhile, officials at Charlotte Douglas International Airport and other airports across the region prepared for the likelihood of stranded passengers if the storm forces flight cancellations.
And meteorologists warned that holiday travelers whose itinerary includes Interstate 81 in Virginia and other interstates to the north should consider altering their departure plans, with snow expected to begin falling in those areas by midday Wednesday.
Even places like Charlotte, where precipitation is expected to fall as a cold rain, could be affected.
"Enough rain, low clouds and poor visibility will occur to lead to airline and highway delays ahead of the snow," said Alex Sosnowski, senior meteorologist with Accu-Weather.
Forecasters said travelers headed west or northwest will not be affected directly by the storm.
Katie Cody, a spokeswoman for American/US Airways, said the airline is doing all it can to prepare. "We have more than 400 de-icing trucks and hundreds of thousands of gallons of de-icing fluid stationed throughout our key operational centers," Cody said.
Meanwhile, passengers who bought tickets for flights Tuesday through Thursday to East Coast airports will be able to change the dates without a fee. AAA Carolinas expects more than 90,000 people to fly out of airports in the two states over the Thanksgiving holiday – about 30 percent of those from Charlotte.
But the possibility of heavy rain, fog and snow will also have an impact on the estimated 1.7 million Carolinas residents expected to drive 50 or more miles for the holiday. Sosnowski said I-81, a popular route to the major East Coast cities from the Carolinas, is likely to get several inches of snow. A winter storm watch is posted from central Virginia northeast across much of Maryland, eastern Pennsylvania, New York and New England.
Another area of concern will be the North Carolina mountains. Forecasters said precipitation will start as rain in the high country Tuesday night but quickly change to snow, with 2 to 4 inches possible by the time it ends Wednesday afternoon.
Here is what forecasters expect for various areas from the storm:
Charlotte – A cold rain begins late Tuesday night and ends around midday Wednesday.
N.C. mountains – Rain changes to snow early Wednesday, with accumulations above 2,500 feet.
Raleigh, Norfolk, Richmond – Rain and fog Wednesday.
Roanoke, central Virginia – Rain changes to snow late Wednesday morning, with accumulations and slippery roads.
West Virginia Turnpike – Rain changes to snow, but precipitation is light with minor accumulations.
Washington, Baltimore – A rain-snow mix Wednesday changes to snow by evening, with slushy accumulations and slippery roads.
Philadelphia, New York City – Rain begins late Wednesday morning and changes to snow by evening, with several inches accumulating, especially northwest of the city.
Inland Pennsylvania and New York – Up to a foot of snow could fall in places like Scranton and Albany.

10 horses to follow this spring – a follow up
At the start of August, I gave my 10 horses to follow for the spring on sports blogging website The Roar. Click here to read the original article.
The horses were Atlantic Jewel, Pierro, All Too Hard, Voila Ici, Lucas Cranach, Nechita, Mount Athos, Polish Knight, Didntcostalot and Dundeel (now It's A Dundeel).
This was before any of them made their seasonal debut, and I think it is interesting to now look at where they are as we head towards the deep end of the spring.
Sadly, Atlantic Jewel and Lucas Cranach were both ruled out through injury before making it to the track. Hopefully we'll see them back in the autumn.
On Saturday, Polish Knight joined the casualty list when he bled and incurred a three month ban from racing. However, he wasn't going well regardless. Hopefully he can return a better horse in the autumn.
Import Voila Ici has had three runs in Australia, all of them pretty good efforts. He ran sixth first up in the Memsie Stakes before a brilliant second in the Underwood Stakes. He was good again last Saturday, finishing fourth in the Turnbull after playing up before the race, and he'll be spot on for the Caulfield Cup.
Didntcostalot was the rags to riches story of my selections, and he's still got plenty of improvement left. He won very well first up in a restricted race at Sandown before having absolutely no luck at Moonee Valley. He steps out in a very strong Schillaci Stakes this weekend, before heading back to Moonee Valley. However, I believe the race where he'll be something to beat is when he steps out down the straight in a Listed 1000m handicap on Oaks Day.
Of the four three year olds, three have had some success.
Pierro has won the Run to the Rose and the Bill Stutt Stakes. He is set to start at prohibitive odds in the Caulfield Guineas this weekend before aiming at the Cox Plate, where he is the current favourite.
Nechita looked like a superstar after her first up win in the Silver Shadow Stakes but then failed in the Golden Rose behind Epaulette. She is being freshened for a tilt at the Coolmore Stud Stakes on Derby Day.
It's A Dundeel has arguably been the best inclusion in this list. After winning first up at Wyong, paying a juicy $9, he won another restricted race at Canterbury before winning the Gloaming Stakes and the Spring Champion Stakes. If you've followed any horse from this list, I hope it was him.
The disappointment has been All Too Hard. While he hasn't run overly poorly, he's still performed below expectations. He is set to start in the Caulfield Guineas this weekend after finishing third in the San Domenico Stakes, fifth in the Run to the Rose and fourth in the George Main Stakes. Perhaps he may be better the Melbourne way of going, but still, he hasn't lived up to the hype.
The last is reigning Melbourne Cup favourite Mount Athos. At the time of the original article being written, he was a $26 chance for the Melbourne Cup. He's now a $10 favourite, so hopefully some of you jumped on. I've been convinced he would be a perfect Melbourne Cup horse since May, so I'm glad to see him at the top of the market. He won't race in Australia until Melbourne Cup day, so perhaps he won't get much shorter than his current quote.
Hopefully there is still success for our ten horses to follow – even if they've been whittled down to seven!


text: Peregrine Systems prgne is plummeting 30 cents, or 50.8 percent, to 29 cents, after the company disclosed late Thursday that it would remove $250 million in revenue from its books for a period running from fiscal 2000 through the first three quarters of 2002 due to improper accounting. The San Diego-based software firm will also record a non-cash charge of about $100 million related to stock option compensation. In addition, Peregrine's common shares were de-listed from the Nasdaq National Market at the opening of trading because the company has failed to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Peregrine plans to pursue listing its stock on the pink sheets.

We have renamed Strategic Land Available Assessment (SLAA) to Strategic Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA). This is so the name reflects the purpose of the assessment. The change doesn't impact on sites previously submitted or CFS references. We will continue to assess submitted sites on an annual basis, against the most up-to-date assessment criteria.
Our Strategic Housing and Employment Land Availability Assessment (SHELAA) identifies land that could be used for new developments, forming part of our new Local Plan.
We have updated the way we carry out SHELAA assessments and the SHELAA is now open all year round. This mean you can submit a new site or amend an existing site on a rolling basis.
You can:
To identify available land for all types of use, we held a call for sites in:
Following each call for sites, we published an annual report.
The annual report does not allocate sites for development, but provides information that we will use to prepare the new Local Plan.
The Development Policy Committee considered the latest annual report on 26 July 2018.
To download and view the report and appendices, you need to look at the SLAA annual report 2018 information.
The annual report 2018 consists of:
Appendix 1: Viability Study
Appendix 2: SLAA Database Methodology
Appendix 3: SLAA Assessment Criteria
Appendix 4: Policy-on SLAA Assessment
Appendix 5: SLAA List of Discounted Sites
Appendix 6: Policy-off SLAA Assessment for Discounted Sites
The report and appendices explain our methodology and assessment criteria, and include our assessments of the sites we received.
Some of these documents feature detailed information and are large in size. You may find it easier to download and view these documents on a desktop computer, rather than on a smartphone or tablet.
We assess all of the sites using the same criteria, but some of them are policy-on and others are policy-off. The policy-off sites fall within a Green Belt, Green Wedge or Green Corridor so we will not be considering them for development at this stage.
Appendix 4 includes our assessments of the policy-on sites, and Appendix 6 includes our assessments of the policy-off sites.
In each Appendix, every site has a SLAA assessment reference. If you look at the parish maps which show the location of the sites, the mapping reference relates to the SLAA assessment reference.
There are two formats of SLAA assessment references.
An example of the first format is CFS77. This reference shows that this is site 77 of the 2014 submissions.
An example of the second format 15SLAA9. This reference shows that this is site 9 of the 2015 submissions.
The parish maps do not show our assessment, and whether the site is policy-on or policy-off. You need to refer to the report, Appendix 4 and Appendix 6 when you look at the parish maps for this information.
There is a map for each parish in Chelmsford.
The map shows the boundary of the parish, with the available sites outlined in red and highlighted in orange. If a site crosses a parish boundary, it is included on both parish maps.
To understand the maps and the site references, you need to look at the call for sites and SLAA information.
Some of these documents feature detailed information and are large in size. You may find it easier to download and view these documents on a desktop computer, rather than on a smartphone or tablet.

Read Matthew 8:28-34
Matthew's intent is to declare the great authority the Lord Jesus exercised as the Christ and Saviour of his people. In this text, Christ Jesus reveals the chief purpose of his ministry, to destroy the works of the devil. Hear what those works of Satan are and how the Lord Jesus casts him down to destroy and disarm the devil.
