Please note:
Few monsters lend themselves better to allegory than the zombie. In the years since George Romero first set the shambling mold with Night of the Living Dead, filmmakers have been using the undead as handy substitutes for concepts as varied as mall-walking consumers, punk rockers, soccer hooligans, and every political movement imaginable. (All this, plus brain chomping.) World War Z, the mega-scale adaptation of Max Brooks's richly detailed faux-historical novel, presents a zombie apocalypse on a ginormous level never seen before on film. Somehow, however, the sheer size of the scenario, coupled with a distinct lack of visceral explicitness, ends up blunting much of the metaphoric impact. While the globe-hopping action certainly doesn't want for spectacle, viewers may find themselves wishing there was something more to, you know, chew on. Director Marc Forster and his team of screenwriters (including J. Michael Straczynski and Lost's Damon Lindelof) have kept the basic gist of the source material, in which an unexplained outbreak results in a rapidly growing army of the undead. Unlike the novel's sprawling collection of unrelated narrators, however, the film streamlines the plot, following a retired United Nations investigator (Brad Pitt) who must leave his family behind in order to seek out the origins of the outbreak. While the introduction of a central character does help connect some of Brooks's cooler ideas, it also has the curious effect of narrowing the global scale of the crisis. By the time of the third act, in which Pitt finds himself under siege in a confined space, the once epic scope has decelerated into something virtually indistinguishable from any other zombie movie. Even if it's not a genre changer, though, World War Z still has plenty to distinguish itself, including a number of well-orchestrated set pieces--this is a movie that will never be shown on airplanes--and the performances, with Pitt's gradually eroding calm strengthened by a crew of supporting actors (including Mireille Enos, James Badge Dale, and a fantastically loony David Morse) who manage to make a large impression in limited time. Most importantly, it's got those tremendous early scenes of zombie apocalypse, which display a level of frenetic chaos that's somehow both over-the-top and eerily plausible. When the fleet-footed ghouls start dogpiling en masse, even the most level-headed viewer may find themselves checking the locks and heading for the basement. Show more Show less

Deryck Chung, an avid reader, researcher, writer and author, has completed his new book "My First Animal Alphabet": an amusing, educational, charming work that teaches children the letters of the alphabet and allows them to practice writing each letter.
When asked the inspiration for his book, Chung answered "From a young age I was very focused on my education. I always wanted to learn what my older sister was learning so I could impress my friends. I was always into reading and liked to compete with friends to see who could read more books, not including the ones we had to read in class. As I grew up I tried to encourage friends and family to get involved in reading and research."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Deryck Chung's new children's book turns learning into fun; the book teaches writing and reading through animal characters.
Readers who wish to experience this creative work can purchase "My First Animal Alphabet" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Banga best translates as "style," but for Angolans, banga dress embodies the spirit of the climate, music, culture, and most importantly, the individual. In this frenetic exploration of Angolan sartorial aesthetics Coréon Dú takes us across his home country to excavate the manifestations of banga. For local style celebrity Papa Swegué, a slow, thoughtful promenade moves passersby to stop and admire him. In the traditional ceremonies of the Uíge Province elders mock the ostentatious nature of banga while donning their own fashionable garb. Meanwhile influencers in the United States and Europe are hiring Angolan models and taking notes from banga on their runway and in the streets. -KM

It's the Friday two weeks before Christmas and two weeks after Thanksgiving (and the day after the end of Hanukkah). You're probably fasting before the onslaught of holiday parties begins or still trying to work off a fortnight of turkey sandwiches and leftover pumpkin pie. In any case, we figure you'd probably rather sing about food than eat it right now. So, here's Paul McCartney and Jimmy Fallon's rendition of "Scrambled Eggs." The gag is that it's the original version of "Yesterday," modified for a post-carnivorous Paul.

Every Friday I share a Friday Freebie Download. Last week as I was away I hadn't time to create one for Friday so this week there will be two Freebie Posts. This is the first of the two.x One of the best ways to help children learn is through fun activities. One of Conor's favorite pass times is listening to Nursery Rhymes, carrying out their actions and singing along in his own way.

Author: Stephanie Archer
Genre: Fantasy
Date of Publication: 3rd January 2016
Rating: 3/5
**Netgalley Review**
This was a really quick, fun read overall. I think that Stephanie Archer picked the perfect length to write the story she tells here. Characters aren't very rounded, due in part to time constraints but also a lack of interaction between characters (left by the wayside to forward the plot). However that didn't overly effect my overall enjoyment of the read. I don't think Bianka is a great heroine, nor do I think Phillip is a very interesting romantic lead. Marc isn't, in my opinion, worth the ink he's written in. But the story was intriguing enough that I kept on reading until the last page. If you have an evening to spare and want something quick and fun with a fantasy twist – this is it.

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, which provides National Health Service Wales (NHS) services across North Wales, has backed down and resolved to consult on its plans to reconfigure Obstetrics and Gynaecology services that it provides across the region thanks to a legal fight from local campaigners with the backing of the British Medical Association Cymru (BMA).
In February, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board unexpectedly announced that it had decided behind closed doors to temporarily close the consultant led maternity services at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd in Bodelwyddan.
Represented by Capital Law and supported by the BMA, campaigners Annick Cummings, a GP from Pendyffryn Medical Group and Rhian Roberts, a mother from Denbigh, challenged the decision on the basis that the Health Board made no attempts to consult the public and staff before making its decision.
In May this year, the case was adjourned and the court imposed an interim injunction, preventing the Health Board from closing the maternity unit and making ancillary changes to the maternity unit at the hospital. The court also ruled that the Health Board was to disclose more information and documents about its secret decision to close the maternity services at Glan Clwyd hospital.
On 7 July 2015, a High Court Judge, Mrs Justice Nicola Davies, ordered that the decision of the Health Board should be quashed and that the Health Board pay the legal costs of Mrs Roberts and Dr Cummings. The Health Board was also ordered to carry out a process of consultation as to whether there is a need to close the service in accordance with its statutory obligations.
Andrew Brown at Capital Law, said: "Health Boards are duty bound to act fairly and exercise their decision making powers in accordance with a statutory framework requiring them to consult with the Community Health Council, clinicians and members of the public in circumstances of this nature. Sometimes a genuine threat to public safety limits that process as urgent remedial measures need to be taken. But in this case, Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board made the fundamental error of ignoring those who were best placed to assess the threat to public safety – the clinicians actually working on the ward. Closure would have spelled disaster and the clinicians had to take a stand. The BMA passionately supports its members and hired us to overturn what was an unfair decision. We're delighted with the outcome which not only has positiveramifications for the community of north east Wales but also sends a warning shot to any public body contemplating cutting corners."
Capital Law is part of the BMA's recently launched alternative business to service the legal needs of its 154,000 members, BMA Law Limited. The new service provides the full range of consumer legal services in association with a number of law firms, including Capital Law.
Timelines of events:
- 10 February 2015 – decision made by Betsi Cadwalader University Health Board to temporarily close the consultant led maternity services and other ancillary changes at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.
- 21 April 2015 – proceedings were issued on in the High Court.
- 7 & 8 May, 2015 – the hearing took place at Mold Crown Court. The hearing was adjourned.
- 8 June 2015 – Mark Drakeford, Minister for Health and Social Services for Wales, announced that The Health Board was being put into special measures in accordance with the NHS Wales escalation framework.
- 9 June 2015 – Professor Trevor Purt was suspended from his post as Post Executive of The Health Board. Mr Simon Dean (Deputy Chief Executive of NHS Wales) was appointed as interim Chief Executive and accountable officer of The Health Board.
- 1 July 2015 – the Health Board confirmed it no longer sought to contest the Claimant's claim and would start a process of consultation regarding the immediate future of obstetrics and genecology services it provides across North Wales.
- 7 July 2015 – High Court quashes the decision of the Health Board.

When Fact and Fiction Collide – Promise Me This and the Sinking of the Titanic
Today, April 15, 2013, marks the 101st anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. While it was the end of many things, this terrible tragedy spurred the start of groundbreaking advancements in safety procedures and precautions. Life is funny that way—from the most heartbreaking circumstances often arises a shining light that could not have been seen without suffering.
Cathy Gohlke uses the fertile ground of this tragedy for the start of her critically acclaimed story Promise Me This. The novel follows a young man and woman whose lives are forever changed and bound together by the events that unfolded on that April 15, 101 years ago. Annie Allen never imagined that the day she watched her brother, Owen, sail on Titanic would be the last day she'd see him, but when tragedy strikes, one man's promise and another's sacrifice will forever change her life.
"Gohlke tells a gripping tale of sacrifice, loss, love, and hope against the setting of familiar historical events." Publishers Weekly
"This dramatic and heart-wrenching interpretation . . . will enthrall fans of character-driven [Christian fiction] and readers who enjoy Francine Rivers." Library Journal, starred review
"This grabs the reader from the first sentence. The characters are well defined. . . . Readers will come away with a fresh understanding of that horrible day." Romantic Times, 4 ½-star Top Pick review

1st Circular of 4th Conference at Chongqing, China, 2017pramukh
The First Circular
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee of the Conference of the Asian Society of Arachnology (ASA) and the Arachnological Society of China (ASC), we are pleased to invite you and accompanying persons to participate in the 4th Conference of ASA, which will be held on the campus of Southwest University, Beibei, Chongqing, China, on October 9th –13th, 2017.
The ASA conferences are annual meeting of Asian and international arachnologists who are working on Asian and other regional arachnids. We particularly welcome participation by students and academia members from all fields of arachnological research, such as taxonomy and systematics, evolutionary biology, behaviour, ecology, biogeography, physiology, developmental biology, molecular biology, conservation biology, and many others.
Chongqing (CQ) is an international municipality, located in Southwest China, in the intersection of Yangtze and Jialing Rivers, with mountainous landform, subtropical climate, traditional local food and beautiful scenery. Beibei is one of dozens of districts of CQ, about 30 km from the city center. Southwest University (SWU, www.swu.edu.cn) is a key comprehensive national-level university with a large, picturesque campus and a long history dating from 1906. The conference venue, the Guiyuan Hotel, is located on the campus of SWU. For more information on the venue, please visit (www.spiderofchina.com\conference) next month.
Conference format
Representatives will be checked-in on October 9th and a welcome banquet will be given in the evening. Talks and mid-meeting excursions will be arranged on the following four days. The excursions will take us to the Jinyun Mountain Scenic Spot and a day trip to one of other tourist attractions nearby on 12th. Attendees should plan to depart on October 14th (Saturday).
Scientific program
The Organizing Committee is very delighted to announce that four distinguished arachnologists will offer plenary talks: Prof. Jonathan A. Coddington (Smithsonian Institution, USA), Prof. Charles E. Griswold (California Academy of Science, USA), Prof. Mark Harvey (Western Australian Museum, Australia) and Prof. Daiqin Li (National University of Singapore). Some keynote talks are still soliciting. The program will of course include sessions of contributed talks and posters, which will enable all delegates to present their work and to have the opportunity to discuss the most recent developments in their research fields. Any more suggestions, comments or ideas, please send email to Zhisheng Zhang (firstname.lastname@example.com).
The Chinese Arachnological journal "Acta Arachnologica Sinica" will devote a special issue to the proceedings of the conference —- the 2nd issue of Vol. 26 (2017). We encourage you to publish your plenary, oral and poster presentations in this special issue.
Registration and Costs
Online registration will be opened around early March, 2017 (www.spiderofchina.com\conference). The registration fee (excluding the accommodation fee) will be CNY ¥1,500 for non-student attendees and CNY ¥1,000 for students before 31 May, 2017, or CNY ¥1,700 and CNY ¥1,200 before 31 August, 2017, or CNY ¥1,900 and CNY ¥1,400 CNY after 1 September, 2017. We encourage foreign colleagues to register or pre-register as early as possible, so that you can have enough time to apply for visas to travel to China.
By Air: You can take flights to Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport (CKG), catch the airport bus (from the airport to Beibei), get off at the 2nd Gate (South Gate) of SWU, and then transfer to Campus Sight-seeing Bus to the Guiyuan Hotel. You can also get off at the 1st Gate (North Gate), walk to the Tianjiabing Educational Building, and then catch the Campus Sight-seeing Bus to Guiyuan Hotel.
By Train: After you arrive in the Chongqingbei Railway Station, then catch the Bus 558 (from Longtousi to Beibei) and get off on the 2nd or 1st Gate of SWU. From the train station, the urban railway system (CRT) is another choice (a little more timeconsuming than buses). You can take the No. 3 Line from Chongqingbei Station (Yudong direction), transfer to No. 6 Line (Beibei direction) on Hongqihegou Station, get off on Tiansheng Station, and walk to 2nd Gate of SWU.
Of course, you can take taxi from the airport or railway station to Guiyuan Hotel (or the 5th Gate of Southwest University, Beibei), much more expensive than bus and CRT.

Souq Al-Arsah (سوق العرصة) – One of the oldest Souqs (market place) in the UAE. The 200 year old souq is Located in the heritage region of Sharjah, here you can find traders selling traditional jewelry, pottery, pashminas, arabic coffee pots (dhallahs), herbs & Spices, Jambiyas daggers. I personally loved this place because of its rustic character, although it's been remodeled, the structure has a traditional middle eastern souq architecture. This is the sole region I wanted to travel to the middle east, to get a sense of a traditional culture. Granted the UAE is the updated, remodeled, and modern version of Arabia, it still has a lot of old school charm. You just have to go out and look for it. Bring your dirhams and come prepared to haggle a good price on rare goods.
Lastly, here is the mosque located directly behind the souq. The architecture and color is amazing.

An Account of the Healing Power of Art
Art healing the artist. Art healing the space. Art healing the audience.
by Abby Langford
The artist, one man who wished to form a place full of art and a place to create, a public art space, within a forgotten and fragile building within a peaceful place that did not exist and built on rooms that would not last. This artist, who calls himself BMike, found peace within a similar space, the Florida Projects in the Bywater district of New Orleans, and filled in with art. Some coin it graffiti; others coin it street art. However, it is art nonetheless. It is art. It is culture. His art is his method of communicating his story, his beliefs and how his experiences or background has shaped those beliefs. Art is up to interpretation, which causes it to be ideal for communicating beliefs because the attentive audience can interpret for themselves the value of the beliefs, therefore the value of the story within their own story. On the surface, looking solely at the images he created with spray paint, his story seems to be a tribute to the leaders of the Civil Rights Movement, but by looking beneath the elements of the design of the portrait, BMike hoped that his audience would be able to grasp that by communicating these beliefs from within the walls of an abandoned apartment complex, he was calling on them to grasp what it means to just be through observing his expression which is a poem about life and time. He called the poem ProjectBE. However, this space, a place full of art where he could create, did not fulfill his wish because it could not be opened to the public. So, he fought and lost, but then he continued fighting by finding a new space in order to reach out to a larger audience, one comprised of not only those willing to break the law in order to view what it means to BMike to just be but also those unwilling to make that sacrifice.
The space, an abandoned apartment complex, was bursting with all forms of art communicating to the audience the artists' stories and through communicating that story, demonstrating a culture present within our nation denounced by the state. While BMike was fighting to find another space fit to become a place full of art and a place to create, a public art space, he stumbled upon DeGaulle Manor in the Algiers section of New Orleans. This complex, built in 1967, has been compared to the city's most infamous Housing Projects because of its reputation of being a location of high-crime and poverty. However, after Hurricane Katrina hit the area, the walls of the apartments became canvases on which artists could communicate their stories. Some call it vandalism. I call it art. The complex exchanged hands and was renovated multiple times, but for the past few years, it has been vacant. Consequently, more and more artists have claimed the walls of the complex as their canvas. One of those artists is BMike. He found peace within the space in the same way that he found peace at the Florida Projects. Within DeGaulle Manor, he began to recreate some of the portraits that were a part of ProjectBE and to create new portraits, expanding on his story. One day, as he was creating this art, one of the board members of the foundation that currently owns the property, Bill Thomas caught him in the act. However, instead of denouncing the act as a crime, his open ears heard his story, and he was enchanted with both what he saw and what he heard. He was able to convince the rest of the board to open the site temporarily to the public, and dozens of artists were then invited to capture their stories on the walls of the complex. The space had become a public art space full of art where any and all could create. BMike named this elaboration, on ProjectBE, ExhibitBE because his poem finally had an audience with whom to be communicated.
The audience, a group of people, all different but, hopefully, all present with ears open to the high quantity and quality or stories drenching them from the moment they set eyes upon the remains of DeGaulle Manor. Those within the audience were of all different colors, with distinctive values, all different shapes, with distinctive levels of intellectual and emotional depth, all different lines, with distinctive connections through with communities are formed, and all different textures, which is an outward demonstration of our past, where we have been worn down and where our lives have been untouched by the negative. All of those within the audience, including myself, were on separate levels of the scales of the elements of design, or in this case, a created being. I am white and value creativeness, inquisitiveness, and selflessness. I am of average height and weight, but I have the gift of being able to relate with the successes and struggles of others, who are of a higher and lower intellectual or emotional level. I am a point not connected to thousands of others but instead connected to a substantially smaller number by a much thicker line. I, like many others, are worn down in some places. My texture is the roughest when it comes to being certain in the connections I form with people for I am always wary of whether or not the connection goes both ways. I am the least worn down when it comes to exploring new ideas and embracing other's beliefs. So, even if each of those within the audience were all present with ears open to the stories of what the artists believe it means to just be, they all left the exhibit with a different interpretation because they are each of different elements.
To heal means to alleviate a person in anguish or distress and to correct an undesirable situation. Art heals its creator, or artist, by allowing them a means to communicate their anguish or distress or their undesirable situation with others, therefore not necessarily, alleviating that negative emotion or correcting that negative state but instead, allowing the artist to communicate in a way with which they are the most comfortable. Art heals its home, or space, by filling it with an attraction that others wish to see, which causes the space to be reinvigorated with people. The introduction of people into a space corrects the undesirable situation of that place being void of action left only with the memories of past occupants. Those people then all are a part of a community, one of a group of people who have all heard the same story of a particular artist. While I was viewing the exhibit, a car show was also taking place within the parking lot of the complex. The artist commented on the beauty of the irony that those rare cars were sitting where only burnt cars would have sat. Art heals its pupils, or audience, by giving them a story to interpret, which may be used to alleviate their anguish or distress. And, if the artist placed their entire being into their creation, fully communicated their story without reservations, and if the audience viewed the piece with open ears actively listening to the story of the artist, each member of the audience would be healed through their ability to interpret the story.

Fred Frith and Evelyn Glennie
Last year Fred Frith and Evelyn Glennie were resident artists for the UVA Music Department. I missed the concert they did together, but caught Mr. Frith and the UVA Music Students in their concert.
That was a very unusual night in itself. It was evident that students were encouraged to bring improvised instruments. One table appeared to consist of guitar effect pedals, with no instrument as a source. The artifacts of the pedals were the source. The stage was filled with students. There were music stands too, but I think that large areas of time were assigned to pure improvisation. On the other hand, the introduction and ending of the piece was carefully followed from a written score.
Mr. Frith used mostly electric guitars which were either played directly, or bowed with both gut and "electronic" bows. After a while, he slowly moved away from the stage and was gone until the end of the piece, where he once again joined with the others. It was an entertaining performance, and the students appeared to really enjoy the experimentation.
Just recently I decided to look into Evelyn Glennie, and was amazed by some of this percussionist's accomplishments. What was even more startling was that she became deaf at age 12. After searching a bit, I found some examples of her playing and a lecture she gave for TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design). I've included the You Tube material and link to the TED lecture. The TED lecture, where she explains how she learned to listen with her body, is remarkable.
Fred Frith and Evelyn Glennie, from 2007
The TED lecture;
And here's another piece done by Fred Frith/ Iva Bittová/ Pavel Fajt "Morning Song" (1989) . An electronic alarm clock is used as an instrument.

We hope you are all enjoying your summer vacation!
At our next WCSC meeting on Sunday, September 17, 2017, we are pleased to present National Bestselling Author Kate Hilton as our speaker. Details of her visit will be posted soon.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to sign up in advance HERE.
On February 12, 2017 we are very pleased to welcome Molly O'Keefe to heat things up at Swanmore Hall.
Molly will speak on The Power of Romance (and why every story needs a little of it) followed by a workshop on Writing Sexual Tension:
"No matter whether you're writing a romance or a novel with a romantic subplot you need to understand sexual and romantic tension. How it stems from character and creates your plot and keeps readers turning pages."
You don't want to miss this. Truly. She is an exciting and gifted presenter and you will be happy you came.
Molly O'Keefe has always known she wanted to be a writer (except when she wanted to be a florist or a chef and the brief period of time when she considered being a cowgirl). And once she got her hands on some romances, she knew exactly what she wanted to write.
She published her first Harlequin romance at age 25 and hasn't looked back. She loves exploring every character's road towards happily ever after.
Originally from a small town outside of Chicago, she went to university in St. Louis where she met and fell in love with the editor of her school newspaper. They followed each other around the world for several years and finally got married and settled down in Toronto, Ontario. They welcomed their son into their family in 2006, and their daughter in 2008. When she's not at the park or cleaning up the toy room, Molly is working hard on her next novel, trying to exercise, stalking Tina Fey on the internet and dreaming of the day she can finish a cup of coffee without interruption.
Dishing It Out, her last Harlequin Flipside won the Romantic Times Reviewers Choice award for best Flipside in 2005.
Her Superromance Baby Makes Three won the RT Reviewer's Choice for best Superromance in 2006. L-length Her novella, "The Christmas Eve Promise" in The Night Before Christmas won the RITA in 2009. And her full length contemporary romance CRAZY THING CALLED LOVE won the RITA in 2013.

Winners announced June 2017
On December 11 join us in welcoming back Richard Scrimger to the WCSC for his talk and workshop: Laying Seige to Your Story.
Writing sometimes feels like a siege. You're camped outside the walled town with your army: your experiences, memory, imagination, thesaurus, post-it notes, prayers, etc. Behind those walls is a captured friend or child, or a valuable but fragile artifact – your story. But how do you take the town without destroying the story? You don't want to starve or poison it, and you don't want to flatten it with artillery. Continue reading
We are so thrilled to announce that our new home will be the Leacock Museum, beginning with next month's meeting on November 20 with Scotiabank Giller Prize nominee, Michael Redhill.
You can register here
The address is: 50 Museum Dr., Orillia, ON L3V 6K5
Talk: What to Expect when you're Expecting a Book Baby
Taking a book from a word document to the shelf can be a long process, filled with plenty of unknowns, hard labor, and thrilling milestones. I'll share my own experience, as well as offer insight into what to expect through (and beyond) that debut year…and how to enjoy the process. Hint: it involves preparation, persistence, professionalism, and a peer group.
Workshop: Slaying the Synopsis
A synopsis has one job: to summarize your novel or writing project, from beginning to end, without flashy bells and whistles. It differs from a query letter in that its purpose is to showcase the entire narrative arc rather than simply highlight the major plot points and main character's journey. The synopsis also provides structure to a blossoming book idea, so you can catch plot pitfalls and soggy character arcs…all before committing a single word to the page. However, regardless of its benefits, the synopsis is one of the most dreaded and loathed writing tools out there. In this workshop I'll offer practical tips and tricks for how to write a killer synopsis that gets the job done, without losing your mind — or your creative energy — while you do.
KARMA BROWN is a National Magazine award-winning journalist, freelance writer, and author of the international bestsellers COME AWAY WITH ME (MIRA/HarperCollins)—a Globe & Mail Top 100 Books for 2015—and THE CHOICES WE MAKE (MIRA/HarperCollins). A former marketing director and copywriter, Karma now spends much time mulling plot lines in coffee shops and lives just outside Toronto with her family. Her third novel, EVERY MOMENT (Park Row Books/HarperCollins), will be published June 2017.
I'll get the sad news out of the way first.
Our wonderfully accommodating meeting venue has lost its event room. Apparently, Brewery Bay Food Company didn't own the attached building where we held our meetings and the new landlords weren't on board with the existing contract. And so… we also have lost "Down by the Bay."
The happy news is that we were able to quickly locate a fine venue only two blocks away at 16 Front Street South in Orillia. Continue reading
At WCSC's April 17 meeting, Trevor Cole will present short excerpts from all four of his novels and reveal the personal seeds of inspiration behind each of the stories. He'll discuss how the stories that resulted evolved dramatically from the original inspirations.
The meeting begins at 11:30
The Workshop:
From Idea to Story: Participants are introduced to the process of developing a simple, incomplete idea into the beginnings of a full and rich narrative.
We will brainstorm and discuss what components are necessary for an engaging story, and how to build them.
Trevor Cole is an award-winning journalist and novelist. His first two books — Norman Bray in the Performance of His Lifeand The Fearsome Particles — were both short-listed for the Governor General's Literary Award and long-listed for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award. His third novel, Practical Jean, was nominated for the Rogers' Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and won the Leacock Medal for Humour. Trevor's latest novel, Hope Makes Love, has been called "soulful," "harrowing," "graceful" and "full of life."

Search Engine Optimisation helps your business
It's official, Search Engine Optimisation benefits your business. Hold the phone! What? You're serious?
Okay, I'm being facetious. I think we all know that SEO is important. But, the big question that most of my small businesses clients ask is "how does it benefit my business"? And how can we unlock this value in an affordable way?
Organic Search has lower cost per acquisition
Improving your organic search performance through SEO is a good way of achieving sales at a lower cost.
Let's get into the mindset of a profit-focused small business for a second. Most small businesses aren't so much interested in selling more, as they are in reducing the cost of each sale (thereby increasing their margins).
By improving your rankings in the SERP for keywords which you have identified as contributing to Sales, your website is more likely to be visible (versus competitors) and therefore visited. The more visits you get for these keyword searches, potentially the more sales you will make reducing the cost per sale.
Traditional marketing doesn't offer this kind of return as typically each 'communication' has a cost attached to it. Whereas, SEO can (and should) be an ongoing part of all of your online content generation. This allows you to spread the cost.
Marketing investment - tough for cash poor businesses
Most small businesses operate in an endless cycle of cash flow management: pitting revenues against expenses with a constant - almost daily - beady eye on their profit margins.
As a small business owner, choosing which marketing activity to spend your hard-earned dollar on is tricky. Particularly if you need to realise profits quickly.
Unlike larger businesses, most small companies don't have dedicated marketing budgets (SEO or otherwise) to spend each quarter. Marketing investment is based almost exclusively on profits already released from past sales or from a line of credit (to be repaid on the promise of short-term profit gains from the sales the activity generates).
So where does, the usually longer-term, SEO for small business strategy fit into this picture?
Search Engine Optimisation adds to the bottom line
Search Engines are now arguably the most influential online channels that exist (the exception being possibly certain channels in the tourism sector such as tripadvisor.com). It is not at all uncommon for small businesses to attribute 70-80% of website visits to organic search.
By that reckoning, SEO must benefit your profits. But how? There's the fairly obvious maths that if 80% of your site traffic comes from organic search, then a big chunk of your online sales will too. But you can also get smarter by using attribution modelling.
Attribution modelling to benefit SEO
If you analysed the last 6 months of your online sales data using attribution modelling, you would likely see organic search featuring in several of the touch points leading to each sale.
The diagram below is an example of how you can use attribution modelling in Google Analytics to identify the specific touch points that Organic Search affects in the buying process. In this example, Organic Search (top row, left hand column) has been the final interaction that closed 9,565 online conversions compared to Email (row 6) which drove only 89.
The bottom line (forgive the pun) is that by analysing this data, we can better understand the combination of search queries that lead to a conversion (be it an enquiry, a booking or a financial transaction).
Once we understand this, we can begin to focus our efforts on optimising the keywords that drive sales.
Increase your profits with SEO
Search Engines strongly influence every stage of the buying process - researching (and local search), prospecting, comparing companies, purchasing and repeat purchase activity. The adage, 'if you can't be found in Google, then you can't be found' is becoming increasingly true.
Luckily, with some smart thinking and a bit of forward planning, you can use SEO to help you not only be found, but also sell online at a lower cost.
My Online Sales Booster Packages and SEO Packages will help your business do
more business online.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's inability to comprehend the meaning of the word classified made itself clear on Friday when she threw a hissy fit over the State Department's refusal to release some of her emails — and demanded that her emails be made public.
Specifically, the department announced that some of her emails contained information so sensitive — some of it even beyond the "top secret" level — that they simply could not be released without putting our national security at risk.
"We firmly oppose the complete blocking of the release of these emails," Hillary For America press secretary Brian Fallon scathingly wrote in a statement released on behalf of Clinton. "Since first providing her emails to the State Department more than one year ago, Hillary Clinton has urged that they be made available to the public. We feel no differently today."
Advertisement - story continues below
Fallon went on to blame "bureaucratic infighting" for getting in the way of the emails being released and even referred to the emails as "innocuous," making it evident that Clinton cared very little about our national security.
Some of her emails have reportedly discussed highly classified information regarding U.S. drone policy. They also included information that could conceivably be used to uncover the identities of the government's most clandestine sources.

Did Fallon or Clinton care, though? Apparently not.
"This appears to be over-classification run amok," he argued. "We will pursue all appropriate avenues to see that her emails are released in a manner consistent with her call last year."
Advertisement - story continues below
How in the world a woman who cannot even appreciate the importance of classification levels ever became the secretary of state — let alone a Democrat presidential candidate — is something that genuinely cannot be comprehended, or at least not by anyone with common-sense.
The need for classified information to remain classified, on the other hand … well, anyone with a brain can see why this is necessary.

Israel stopped , Yet the Hamas launched attacks after truce
Israel stop the fire ordered by the truce with Hamas, however there are reports that rockets were fired at the Jewish state
JERUSALEM, Israel ordered its army to stop the fire towards the Gaza Strip in regards to the truce with the Hamas, however there are reports that several rockets were fired at the Jewish state after the agreement came into force .
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF), through its representative Yoav Mordechai, confirmed tonight that were ordered to cease fire and act except to respond to provocations from the Palestinian territory. "We are waiting," said the representative.
"We will be inactive if no fire on civilians or our troops, but if any answer," he said Mordechai, who after praising the military operation against armed Palestinian groups, held that this evidence of deterrence will be measured in the coming hours.
However, the fragility of the truce mediated by Egypt and announced was evident tonight, because in the space of an hour, after the entry into force of the ceasefire, was reported rocket fire from Gaza.
Israeli police said at least 12 rockets were fired into the Jewish state, and although he did not mention the site or were intercepted, said caused no damage or casualties, according to reports in local newspaper The Jerusalem Post .
The possibility of a truce to end the armed conflict between Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), was announced the day before, but still did not respond Tel Aviv and accepted the ceasefire until Wednesday.
In a press conference with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in Cairo, the Foreign Minister of Egypt, Mohamed Kamel Amr, announced this afternoon and said the truce would take effect at 09:00 am local (19:00 GMT).
Hamas leader, Khaled Mashaal, said the "victory" of the Islamist group on Israel and said the Jewish state had "failed in his quest" to launch attacks on Gaza, as Palestinians had accepted the terms.
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip also reacted with joy to the announcement of the truce and took to the streets of the country to celebrate the "victory of Hamas" while similar celebrations took place in several West Bank towns.
Many Palestinians fired in the air, others kissed the ground, some drivers honking their cars and women wailed, while a more distributed sweets and kisses in jubilation by the cease-fire, which threatened to flare up.

Blues plans are expected to stake a significant claim across the public HIX landscape at a time when other large health insurance carriers such as UnitedHealth Group, Aetna and Cigna have been cautious about where to dispatch boots on the ground in this emerging online marketplace.
The Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) has joined forces with the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to offer options in 30 states and the District of Columbia that are part of the Multi-State Plan (MSP) under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). That effort was intended to broaden the number of choices for consumers shopping in the public exchanges.
The partnership isn't particularly surprising, considering that Blues plans account for more than 60% of enrollment in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, the nation's largest employer-sponsored health insurance program at more than eight million employees, retirees and dependents.
"This builds on our strong working relationship with OPM in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, where we provide the most popular plans for federal employees, retirees and their families," according to a statement issued by BCBSA.
The association went on to report that Blues plans are "working around the clock on health reform implementation and are participating in virtually every state across the country. The multi-state option is a way we are offering coverage to our customers on the new exchange marketplaces."
Avalere CEO Dan Mendelson recently told The New York Times: "The Blues are very well positioned. They have great name recognition. They have a very strong understanding of the local market because they have been operating there forever."
Under its federal contract, BCBSA will offer more than 150 discounted products featuring a national network of doctors and hospitals. The Obama Administration hopes to offer at least two multistate plans in each state by 2017. Although five additional carriers have expressed interest in this arrangement, the only application approved thus far is with BCBSA.
Proponents of the MSP argue that they will boost competition, especially where one or two carriers dominate a local market. New Hampshire and West Virginia are examples of states whose public HIX would have had just one carrier in 2014 without an MSP option.
Rounding out the states that will offer an MSP next year are Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin.

THE valuable work of Sure Start Children's Centres has been put in the national spotlight by Stalybridge and Hyde MP Jonathan Reynolds, as it has emerged that £1.4billion is to be cut from intervention programmes like Sure Start.
Children's Centres were set up to offer families with young children across the country easy access to a full range of health and education services, all under one roof.
And in the run-up to the General Election leaders of all political parties vowed to keep Children's Centres open.
But Ministers have now taken £1.4billion from Sure Start and other intervention programmes.
And in the House of Commons this week (Mon Feb 7) Jonathan Reynolds suggested to Education Minister Sarah Teather that this was a "false economy".
Following the exchange, Mr Reynolds said: "In Tameside we have built up a network of 15 Children's Centres that provide vital support to thousands of families.
"Each of the centres bring together health, education and family support services under one roof -giving youngsters the best start in life. But, as a result of government cuts, the future of these services are now under threat.
"In Tameside staff at our Children's Centres face having to reduce their budgets by 12 per cent. And this could have a significant impact on the range of services they can offer.
"But cutting money from our Children's Centres is a false economy.
"One of the great benefits of early intervention programmes like Sure Start is that by improving outcomes for young people they actually save the State money in the longer-term.
"If we do not continue to invest in our young people, we will pay the price in the future."

My name is Ken Medanić, I have a graduate diploma in business administration, specialization in finance and I am currently enrolled at London University in their Masters of Finance and Finance Law program.
For the last 8 years I have led a privately funded research and development initiative into the biological and neurological responses of the human body whilst trading the financial markets.
Our findings demonstrate that the most effective means to mitigate market risk and maximize market opportunity is by monitoring the biological responses of the trader in real-time.
We find that the key determining factor of financial market risk is the human-being. We find that losses in the financial markets are attributed to poor decision making on the part of the trader/investor. Further, we find that poor decision making is a consequence of fear, trepidation and anxiety, which have specific biological symptoms.
Much the same way, financial gains and optimal financial market decision making also has specific biological symptoms, better known as "biomarkers".
By being able to discern between the two states of human performance we can mitigate trades based upon the biological state of the trader, thereby providing an advanced risk-management tool for every institution.

Discover the Art of Face Painting
IT WAS a nail biting wait, and earlier this week we received official confirmation on Olga Meleca's Australian Visa. It's a yes! Did you hear me whooping! I know Olga is very excited to visit Australia for the first time too.
With only a few weeks before she arrives, there's lots of work going on behind the scenes. We're aiming to provide you with an amazing series of workshops but before we can do that there's still many plans to put in place.
Flights have been booked, and over the next few days I'll be firming up venues and accommodation in all cities. If you have already registered but not confirmed, please don't delay – since Olga announced her Visa approval earlier this week, we've had a fresh batch of enquiries and I might not get a chance to remind you before seats book out. And, as you might imagine we have significant costs to bring Olga to Australia and your prompt payment is much appreciated in assisting us to cover these.
Thanks to all who have paid either a deposit or in full. I'll send out info packs shortly, including venue details, to all who are currently registered.
While seats are limited, there ARE STILL SEATS IN ALL cities. If you haven't already registered, you can do it here.
I'd also like to take this opportunity to highlight Olga's achievements this year, which have been many. In addition to being a talented face and body artist, Olga has been studying medicine for several years and in the last few months she has completed her studies with outstanding results. Congratulations Dr Olga Meleca! And if that isn't enough to celebrate, last month Olga announced her engagement to fellow face painter David Southworth from the UK, her work has been featured in the Illusion Magazine, and started a new career as an an instructor of face and body painting. 2013 will see Olga touring the world with a series of workshops, the first held in Kazakhstan which by all accounts was a huge success. On July 1, Olga will travel to Russia for more workshops, before returning home for a short break. In mid July she will travel more than 24 hours to reach Australia for her very first Aussie Workshop Tour in partnership with the Face Painting School, starting on the Gold Coast on July 22. So exciting! When she returns home, it won't be for long, as she'll be instructing at a UK convention in late August. Phew! What an amazing six months and the attention is well deserved for such a talented and generous artist!
I'm sure I can speak for all students who have registered for Olga's Aussie Workshop Tour in saying 'congratulations' on all your achievements and we can't wait to see you here in Australia.

|Gaining the High Ground
In 1946, General Curtis E. LeMay, director of research and development for the air staff (a precursor to the Air Force), asked the Douglas Aircraft Corporation to study the feasibility of orbiting an artificial satellite. Their report, Preliminary Design for an Experimental World Circling Spaceship, published on May 2, 1946, was a visionary document. It recognized the scientific and military applications of satellites, as well as the political implications of orbiting the first spacecraft, and outlined the technical specifications for a small satellite weighing no more than 2,000-pounds. Although the technology to create such a vehicle did not exist then, the report predicted many eventual uses of satellites, including missile guidance, weather monitoring, global communications, and reconnaissance.
On October 4, 1957, two months after the Kremlin announced it had successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile, the Soviet Union orbited the 184-pound Sputnik-1 satellite. President Dwight D. Eisenhower initially downplayed the accomplishment, calling Sputnik a "small ball in the air" during a Pentagon press conference five days later, but he badly misread public opinion.
CORONA Imagery Intelligence Satellite
In February 1958, President Eisenhower approved a plan, which transferred WS-117L's film-recovery system from the regular Air Force to a covert Air Force-Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) team led by CIA Deputy Director (Plans) Dr. Richard M. Bissell, Jr. To avoid military bureaucracy and inter-service rivalry, the president specifically stated that CIA should manage the new effort, now called CORONA. Bissell ran CORONA under an arrangement similar to the one he used to develop the U-2, which leveraged the unique resources of the Air Force, CIA, and private industry. The Air Force provided the rockets, launch facilities, and recovery aircraft; CIA managed the program and covert funds; Lockheed (the prime contractor) built the reconnaissance system; the Fairchild and Itek Corporations made the cameras, and General Electric produced the film return capsules. To conceal CORONA's purpose, and explain the construction of ground facilities and ensuing launches, CIA disguised the reconnaissance effort as Discoverer, an Air Force biomedical program.
On August 10, 1960, after 12 successive failures, the United States launched Discoverer-13, the first successful CORONA satellite. The first mission was a test vehicle that carried an American flag, but no film. The first intelligence operation to return film occurred eight days later. Air Force C-119, and later C-130, planes recovered the film return capsules in mid-air as they drifted downward over the Pacific Ocean. A Kodak facility in Rochester, New York, developed the film, which was then sent to Washington, DC, for analysis.
The CORONA program continued until 1972 and produced over 800,000 images. The program boasted a remarkable list of firsts in space history:
On August 14, 1959, President Eisenhower authorized the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to develop the GRAB (Galactic RAdiation and Background experiment) satellite to collect Soviet air-defense radar emissions. Reid D. Mayo, an NRL engineer, conceived the theory behind GRAB in March 1958, while stranded by a blizzard at a Pennsylvania restaurant. As he waited for the snow to clear, he pondered the application of technologies he developed for submarines during World War II to the problem of intercepting Soviet radar signals. He wondered if a version of the system he developed for submarine periscopes could intercept Soviet radars if mounted on a Vanguard satellite. He penciled range calculations on a paper placemat and determined that such a system could intercept Soviet radar signals up to an altitude of 600-miles. When Mayo returned to Washington, DC, he presented the idea to Howard Lorenzen, chief of the NRL countermeasures branch and a leading figure in America's electronic warfare program, who supported the idea.
National Reconnaissance Office
After the success of the U-2, GRAB, and CORONA, the United States established new authorities to manage America's reconnaissance program. On August 31, 1960, Secretary of the Air Force Dudley C. Sharp created the Office of Missile and Satellite Systems to direct the Air Force SAMOS video readout program. Under Secretary of the Air Force Dr. Joseph V. Charyk ran this Pentagon-based office. That same day, Secretary Sharp also designated Brigadier General Robert E. Greer, Assistant Chief of Staff for Guided Missiles, as the Director of the SAMOS field office in El Segundo, California. This two-office arrangement (one in the Pentagon, the other in California) provided a direct chain-of-command from the Air Force general directly in charge of SAMOS on the West Coast to senior Air Force civilians in the Pentagon who reported to the Secretary of Defense, and to the president.
A year later, on September 6, 1961, acting Director of Central Intelligence General Charles P. Cabell and Deputy Secretary of Defense Roswell L. Gilpatric, established the National Reconnaissance Program, which consolidated America's satellite and aerial reconnaissance projects under a covert National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). For the next 31-years, NRO's existence was a secret. Dr. Charyk and CIA Deputy Director (Plans) Dr. Richard M. Bissell, Jr., co-directed the new organization.
Developed in the 1960s as CORONA follow-on systems, the KH-7 and KH-9 film-return satellites provided imagery of Soviet and Chinese nuclear installations, missile sites, and other activities in "denied territories." Between July 1963 and June 1967, NRO operated 38 KH-7 missions. Only 30 missions obtained usable images, totaling about 43,000 linear feet. Between June 1971 and October 1984, NRO conducted 19 KH-9 missions, and attempted a twentieth mission in April 1986, which exploded on launch. The KH-7, America's first successful high-resolution imagery satellite, complemented the broad area search capabilities of the KH-9. In effect, the KH-9 determined that something was worth seeing on the ground; the KH-7 then acquired the detailed imagery for analysis. However, de-orbiting capsules, developing the film, and examining the images took weeks; America needed a faster method of gaining intelligence from space. On December 19, 1976, NRO launched the KH-11 near real-time electro-optical satellite. As demand for satellite reconnaissance grew, NRO developed increasingly sophisticated technology to collect and process imagery and signals intelligence.
Legacy of Satellite Reconnaissance
Satellite reconnaissance was a critical part of American technical intelligence during the Cold War. Before these systems, intelligence about the Soviet Union, China, and other "denied areas" was largely guesswork; limited to what airborne and ground-based platforms could collect on the country's peripheral. The NRO systems provided clues to the location and capabilities of key radar sites, weapons testing ranges, military units, and industrial facilities. This intelligence dispelled the idea that Moscow operated differently in the interior and kept what they wanted America to see on the edge of Soviet territory. The NRO's signals and imagery satellites gave U.S. and allied leaders an enhanced picture of critical national threats and contributed to the Cold War's end in 1989.

Jury Selection continues in boot camp Case
Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet said today he will begin the second phase of jury selection in the boot camp case Wednesday, a day sooner than expected, after 151 people were approved to return.
Eight former drill instructors and a nurse at a now-defunct boot camp are on trial in the death of Martin Lee Anderson, who died after collapsing on his first day at the boot camp.
Jury Selection Run Down
On Monday, the lawyers questioned about 150 people as to opinions they might have formed as to guilt or innocence based on pretrial publicity. Eighty-seven people made it through the first round of the selection process and were put into the main pool.
Overstreet told the lawyers in the case this morning that they are in pretty good shape to move the process up a day.
Overstreet needs a minimum of 125 people in the final pool to pick 10 jurors for the final panel. Trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 3.
Overstreet said he wants more than the minimum but wont go through the entire 1,450 people who have been summoned this week. He said once they reach a good, unspecified number, he will release the other prospective jurors.
Two hundred people were summoned for today in morning and afternoon groups. About 69 people made up the morning pool after statutory and other excuses eliminated the others.
By 10 a.m. today, 114 jurors had been accepted including Robert Abernathy, despite a strongly held opinion.
Examining Potential Jurors
I think theyre being railroaded by the governor and other folks, he said. Abernathy also said he thought Panama City Medical Examiner Charles Siebert Jr. was being railroaded because of his controversial findings in this case.
You think theyre being railroaded? prosecutor Scott Harmon asked him. Thats a pretty extensive amount of opinion you have about this case. You really think you could back off those opinions and be a fair and impartial juror?
Abernathy insisted he could.
Im man enough to assess the facts and determine if theres any fact to it, he said.
Settlements in the Case
Several people questioned Tuesday said theyd heard little about the facts of the case, but nearly all had heard about the $5 million civil settlement the state paid to Andersons family. The Bay County Sheriffs Office also settled with the family for an additional $2.4 million.
The boy was in the boot camp for a reason, one prospective juror said. It might have been a wrongful death but it might have been an accident. I agree (the family) should have been paid something, but not to the tune of that amount.
He moved on to the second phase because he said the settlement was separate from the criminal case and he wouldnt let his opinion about the first influence his consideration of the second.
The great majority of prospective jurors in the pool are white, but there have been about a dozen blacks that have been questioned. Today, almost all the black prospective jurors either had no opinion about the eights guilt or thought they were innocent. Numerous white prospective jurors have been excused because they said the guards are guilty.

Whether you want to create a sense of nostalgia, evoke an emotion or just find it visually appealing, black and white photographs are a timeless way to achieve this goal. Below are some tips to help make your black and white photographs more crisp, clear and impressive.
1. RAW. If your camera has this function, shoot your photos in the RAW format (vs. JPEG). This will allow you more creativity while editing.
2. Colour. Alternatively, if your camera doesn't have the ability to shoot in RAW or you're not comfortable doing so, shoot in colour and convert your image to black and white. You'll also have more options with your final image if you decide to convert it back to colour or would like both a colour and black and white version.
3. Weather and light. Black and white photographs look their best in low contrast lighting. Cloudy overcast days, dusky evenings and low lit rooms make for better shots.
4. Composition. Taking this into account is nothing new. The difference when shooting in black and white is the absence of colour acting as a visual focus in your photo. Instead keep a keen eye out for textures, tones and highlights to direct viewers eyes to your subject and areas of interest.
5. Low ISO. This is common in both colour and black and white photography. It's particularly important with black and white shots because it lessens the amount of visible "noise" or grain created by higher ISO levels. You can always add noise when editing but it is very difficult to remove.
