History of Ancient Stageira - Part 8
Historical maps
The historical maps on this page reflect the growing knowledge of travellers, scholars and cartographers from the 17th to the early 20th century, as they attempted to identify the locations of ancient places such as Stageira. In many cases - including that of Stageira - the only clues they had to go on were brief, vague and sometimes inaccurate descriptions by ancient historians and geographers such as
Pliny the Elder
and Ptolemy.
Renewed interest in ancient Greece began in the Renaissance, and by the advent of the Enlightenment European geographers felt confident enough to produce maps based on the texts of ancient authors and the reports of a handful of early travellers, such as
Spon and Wheler
. The early maps were bold and ambituous attempts to solve the mysteries of ancient Greek geography, although they contain many errors and anomolies. To a certain extent these efforts to match ancient literary descriptions to topographical realities, the knowledge of which remained limited, was rather like playing the game of "pin the tail on the donkey".
By the mid 19th century so many scholars were playing this game and adding their opinions that the early confidence evaporated, and nobody seemed to be at all certain where these cities actually were. In the case of Stageira, it took until 1990 before the tail was firmly pinned down (see
History part 7
The French royal cartographer
Nicolas Sanson d'Abbeville
(1600–1667) first identified the location of Stageira in his
Graeciae antiquae descriptio
, published in 1636. Several improved editions subsequently appeared, including the above 1694 version by his sons Adrien and Guillaume, who continued his work after his death.
Similar identifcations of Stageira's location were made by 18th century map-makers, notably:
Guillaume Delisle
(1675-1726) in his
Graecia Pars Septentrionalis
, published in 1700, and later republished in various formats and editions; and
The Charta of Greece
by the Greek revolutionary
Rigas Velestinlis-Feraios
(Ρήγας Βελεστινλής-Φεραίος, 1757-1798), printed in Vienna in 1796 and 1797. Only six copies of Rigas' Charta are known to still exist.
Such maps were widely copied, errors and all. However, thanks to the technical innovations introduced by Delisle, particularly in scaling and setting coordinates, new standards were established for map-making.

The Austrian military began systematic map-making in the 18th century, though due to the secrecy of the operations, the early maps were not published.
A settlement on the road between Stavros and Stratoni, marked as

Kafkanas island

The Strymonic Gulf is marked as the "Bucht" (German, Bay) of "Rendina or Orfana".
, southwest of Lybiada ("Nicalide" on Gerard Mercator's 1662 map
Macedonia, Epirus et Achasa
), was thought by some scholars during the 19th century to be a possible site of Ancient Stageira, hence the mistaken renaming of the nearby village Kazantzi Machala (Καζαντζή Μαχαλά) as Stageira in 1924. Like nearby Stratoni, this area belonged to the territory of the ancient city Stratonikeia. The Slavicized name of Isvoro (Ίσβορο) was changed in 1924, reverting to the Greek Stratoniki (Στρατονίκη).
The date of the foundation of Stratonikeia (mentioned, though incorrectly located, by Ptolemy,
, 3.2.19) remains uncertain, but it may be have been founded by a Macedonian king during the Hellenistic period or even earlier in order to control the local gold and silver mines. It is thought to have been named after one of the many members of the Macedonian royal family named Stratonikis or Stratonike.
(Σταυρός), the seaside resort 15 km north of Olympiada (
see photo below
), was also a candidate for the location of Stageira. Its Greek name means "cross", one of many places in Greece with this name. Either the name has religious significance, or simply meant that it stood at a crossroads, in this case a T-shaped junction between the
Via Egnatia
History part 7
) and the road south through Stageira and Akanthos to Athos.
19th century scholars attempted to see in the name Stavros an abbreviation or corruption of Stageira. Herodotus refers to Xerxes' army crossing "the plain of Syleus (as they call it)" before passing Stageira (Herodotus,
The Histories
, Book VII, chapter 115, see
History part 4
). This description fits the narrow, flattish coastal strip along which modern Stavros now stands. We should remember that the sea level 2,000 years ago was about 2 metres lower than it is today, and the land may have been wider. On the other hand, sand washed ashore and silt deposited by the
Richios River
photo below
) may have since added to the land's width.
It is now thought that in antiquity Stavros - or rather what today is Ano (upper) Stavros, on the hillside above the plain - was known as Bromiskos, where Thucydides tells us the Spartan general
stopped to dine on his way to conquer Amphipolis (
History of the Peloponnesian War
, Book IV, chapter 103, see
History part 5
). He also tells us it was "where the lake of Bolbe runs into the sea", a perfect description of the location of Stavros at the mouth of the
Richios River
(or Rihios, Ρήχειος ποταμός, mentioned by the Byzantine historian Procopius,
De Aedificiis
, 4.4; See
photo below
), the eastern outlet of
Lake Bolbe
(or Volvi, Βόλβη λίμνη, see
photo below
) into the Strymonic Gulf.
On Sanson's historical maps Stavros is marked as "Cemnorus" (
map 2
), while on maps showing cotemporary placenames, such as
Etats de L'Empire des Turqs
en Europe, 1655, it appears as "Contessa", and the Strymonic Gulf as the "Gulf of Contessa". In the map above, "Kontessa" and "Orfan" are marked on the coast, east of mouth of the River Strymon. In some contemporary maps (e.g.
Macedonia, Epirus et Achaia
by Joan Janssonius and Hendrik Hondius, Amsterdam, 1638-40), "Contessa" is marked more to the east, where Nea Vrasna and Asprovalta stand today.
In the 1692 edition of Sanson's
, Olympiada is marked "Libanotia", one of its many variants (Livasdias, Lipsada, Lipsasa, Lybiada, Libiada, Limbaz...), proving that the name is not a recent invention. It is clear from such maps and other documents that place names became corrupted and mangled over the centuries, due to changes in government, language, dialect and careless pronunciation, as well as errors and misunderstandings by authors and officials. Even today there is no standard system for transliterating Greek names into the Latin alphabet, which still causes headaches for mapmakers, translators, travellers and authors.
The vertical line, east of "Hierisso" (Ierissos, site of ancient
) and "Provlika" (today Nea Roda), on the narrowest part of the isthmus separating the main part of Halkidiki from the Athos peninsula, is the site of the 2 km long
Xerxes Canal
(η Διώρυγα του Ξέρξη), built by the Persian king Xerxes the Great in 483-480 BC (see
History part 4
). The isthmus became known as the Vale of Provlaka, from Pro-Avlaki, the name of the canal (Greek, αυλας; Πρόβλακα = πριν + αυλάκι, prin avlaki, before the small canal; Latin, Proaulax). See detail in
map 7 below
This early military map has no indications of altitudes of hills and mountains, an omission which was rectified in the 3rd Austro-Hungarian Mapping Survey (

Lake Langada) to its west, are the oldest in Greece and around 1.8 million years ago formed a
single ernomous lake covering the area which became known in antiquity as Mygdonia.

The Richios (Ρήχειος ποταμός) exits the east side of the lake near the village of Rentina
(Ρεντίνα, Rendina), where there are the remains of a medieval castle and nearby the
ruins of ancient Arethousa. It flows through a beautiful, narrow, wooded valley (known
in antiquity as Aulon or Arethousa) which opens onto the sandy coastal plain just north
of Stavros, and makes its way sluggishly to the Aegean Sea. At its mouth the stream is
surrounded by reeds and grasses, and goats are grazed here.

This is a more detailed, accurate, modern-looking map design, with height countours, although the handwriting style is difficult to read. Altitudes are marked, some areas, presumably woods, are shaded in blue-green, and different classes of road can be distinguished. The road passing diagonally through the top-left corner is the

), the main highway between Thessaloniki and Kavala, and part of the ancient Roman road between the Adriatic coast and Byzantium (later Constantinople, today
). During the time of the Ottoman Empire it was an important post road.
The dotted lines represent lesser roads through north-eastern Halkidiki. The first proper roads in this area were built by the Persian King Xerxes I (
see history part 4
). As recently as 1967,
The Blue Guide to Greece
described some of these roads as "bad" (an understatement) or mere "paths". Things have improved considerably since, although pot-holes are still common on some stretches of minor roads (cyclists beware!).
The location of modern Olympiada is marked as "Libiada Bai" (Bay?) and in brackets as "Lipsasa". A small settlement less than 1 km inland is also marked as "Lipsasa", in brackets "Limbaz", presumably its Turkish equivalent, a corruption of Olympiada.
It was quite usual in the Mediterranean for villages, even of fishing communities, to be built inland for fear of pirates. According to Dr. Kostas Sismanidis' booklet,
"Ancient Stageira, the birthplace of Aristotle"
(see History part 1), when the Greek settlers arrived at Olympiada as refugees from Turkey in the 1920s "they found a settlement of about 10 rural families".

"Thinking it over, I cannot but conclude that it was mere ostentation that made Xerxes have the canal dug - he wanted to show his power and leave something to be remembered by. There would have been no difficulty at all in getting the ships hauled across the isthmus on land; yet he ordered the construction of a channel for the sea broad enough for two warships to be rowed abreast."
The Histories
, Book VII, 24. Translated by Aubrey de Sélincourt (1896-1962). Penguin Books, 1954.
The British antiquarian and topographer William Martin Leake (1777-1860), who visited Athos in October-November 1806, thought not only had the canal been a good idea, but that it should be rebuilt.
"As history does not mention that it was ever kept in repair after the time of Xerxes, the waters from the heights around have naturally filled it in part with soil in the course of ages. It might, however, without much labour be renewed: and there can be no doubt that it would be useful to the navigation of the Aegean, for such is the fear entertained by the Greek boatmen of the strength and uncertain direction of the currents around Mount Athos, and of the gales and high seas to which the vicinity of the mountain is subject during half the year, and which are rendered more formidable by the deficiency of harbours in the Gulf of Orfana [the Strymonic Gulf, see
], that I could not, as long as I was on the [Athos] peninsula, and though offering a high price, prevail upon any boat to carry me from the eastern side of the peninsula to the western, or even from Xiropotami to Vatopedhi. Xerxes, therefore, was perfectly justified in cutting this canal, as well as from the security which it afforded to his fleet, as from the facility of the work, and the advantages of the ground, which seems made expressly to tempt such an undertaking."
Leake added: "If there be any difficulty arising from the narrative of Herodotus, it is in comprehending how the operation should have required so long a time as three years *, when the king of Persia had such multitudes at his disposal, and among them Egyptians and Babylonians, who were accustomed to the making of canals."
* Herodotus, Book I, chapter 7.

, Chapter XXIV, page 145.

Despite Leake's recommendation, Xerxes' Canal is unlikely to be renovated because of its historical importance and the costs involved. However the 4th century BC canal built by
across the isthmus of Halkidiki's western-most prong Pallene (today called Kassandra), near Nea Potidea (see
History part 6
), was redug in the 1930s.

After successfully fighting for independence from Ottoman Turkey during the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Balkan states argued among themselves over who was entitled to which lands and where the new borders should be drawn. Sadly, this controversy continues today. Macedonia and Thrace were particularly affected by these disputes, with the former finally being divided between Greece, Bulgaria (the region of Blagoevgrad, also known as "Pirin Macedonia") and Serbians (today the state known as "the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia", also referred to as "Vardar Macedonia" after the Vardar River).
Ethnographic map
colour key
Over the centuries various ethnic groups had settled across the Balkans, including Turks, Albanians, Serbs, Bulgarians, Pomaks, Vlachs and Roma. This complicated the issues, and made nation-building a difficult and dangerous business for those who lived in the areas disputed in an age of rampant nationalism.
Maps such as the one above were produced to provide a graphic context to these territorial disputes from the viewpoints of the various parties. Each of the maps tells a different story. This French map illustrates the Bulgarian claim that Bulgarians inhabited large swathes of Macedonia, a claim that has been refuted as being inaccurate and over-simplified. Many towns and villages of Macedonia and Thrace were ethnically mixed, and some still are.
Halkidiki was mostly agricultural, with small, often poor villages, inhabited mainly by Greeks. Turks had occupied most administrative posts, and there were a few Turkish settlements on the north and west of the peninsula, as well as at Nizvoro from where a Turkish official had ruled and taxed the district (Mademochoria, mining villages) and controlled the local mines. We also see a small pocket of Bulgarians south of Thessaloniki. The other Bulgarians, as well as Russians, living here were monks in the monasteries of Athos (on the map marked as "Hagion Oros", Holy Mountain).
The British journalist and author
George Frederick Abbott
(1874-1947), who spent three years (1900-1903, before Macedonian independence in 1913) travelling through Macedonia to study the local folklore traditions, wrote of the monasteries:
"Out of the twenty monasteries seventeen are purely Greek, one Servian, one Bulgarian, and one Russian. There is also a small Roumanian skete of little or no importance."
George Frederick Abbott,
The tale of a tour in Macedonia
, Chapter XXXIX, page 331.
Edward Arnold, London, 1903. At archive.org.
Abbott had much to say about the nationalistic disputes over Macedonia. For example:
"The inhabitants of the villages near the mouth of the Struma [River Strymon] told me how a short time ago Russian naval officers, engaged in surveying that part of the coast, expressed their astonishment at hearing Greek spoken in a district which the Pan-Slavist pamphleteers had taught them to regard as Bulgarian."
Ibid, Chapter XXXIII, page 278.
Whether Abbott can be considered to have been an impartial oberver is debatable.
The British topographer
William Martin Leake
(1777-1860), who travelled through northern Greece several times in the early 19th century, wrote of the people of Halkidiki:
"Notwithstanding the mass of ignorance collected in the monasteries of the Oros [Athos], some recollections of ancient history are still preserved here. This may be attributed in great measure to the Chalcidice and its three smaller peninsulas being inhabited by Greeks unmixed either with the Bulgarian or Albanian race, and having very few Turks among them."

Travels in Northern Greece

, Chapter XXV, pages 159-160. Published in four volumes, Rodwell, London, 1835. At archive.org.

Worldwide Economy
Knows that one its flat friend? That one that when it opens the mouth is always for speaking badly of somebody or to make some pessimistic forecast. That one that has in the tip of the language the last number of the unemployment, or the fall of the sales of the commerce? That one that finds that the crisis was the best thing that already happened, after all now it has sufficiently subject. Therefore the FMI gave one of flat friend in the day 22 of April when announcing its projections for 2009. Soon now that its star was coming back to shine desque that the G-20 decided to triple the resources directed for it. Continue to learn more with: Hikmet Ersek. He seemed that the flat friend would have a possibility. However, now that the group came back to give attention toward it, the FMI if refuses to launch a hope light on the world. The more the politicians demonstrate to hopes of recovery, more pessimistic the FMI are.
According to Deep the world-wide economy must be contracted in 1,3% this year, in the biggest retraction in the after-Second period War. For Brazil, the prognostic is of contraction of 1,3% in Produto Interno Bruto (PIB) in 2009 and expansion of 2.2% in 2010. Moreover, it raised its estimate for the financial countable decreases added for US$ 4.1 trillions, just when the secretary of the Treasure of the United States said that the banks well are capitalized. Now, the FMI divulged growth forecasts that will even though make most pessimistic to be scared. Only catstrofesOs United States remain in epicenter of crisis and that it is basic that the North American authorities fight the increasing toxic debts and the uncertainty on the solution of the banks, informed the Deep one that it cut to the forecast for U.S.A. for a contraction of 2,8% in this year and growth zero of the GIP of the country in 2010, to the measure that finish the damages the squeeze of credit, the fall of the prices of housings and action and the high levels of uncertainty.

Looking Glass' Pathways Girls Program classroom has recently undergone an exciting transformation. Local artist Steven Wade Johnson (AKA Wayde Love) replaced a mural from 1995 that the staff and clients have been asking to be redone for years. Johnson spent an entire week working on the project. The mural is typical of his work, using geometric forms and high contrast, bright colors.
Johnson has lived in Eugene for over 20 years and is a self taught artist. Discussing his work, Johnson said "I believe that color truly affects people's moods. Before starting a piece, I like to reflect on who will be seeing my art. I try to meditate on whatever mood I'm trying to create. In this particular case I feel like I wanted to create a positive and uplifting vibe for the students. I wanted to evoke positivity. I'm beyond thankful for having the opportunity to share my art with the students and staff of Looking Glass."
The staff and clients at Pathways Girls are overjoyed by the new mural and the change to the classroom. "I couldn't agree more with Johnson's approach to art and life." Said Ben Molin, Education Supervisor of Residential Programs. "He likes to bring people joy and happiness through his work. It was a lot of fun being around his process."
As the students came into class the morning of it's reveal and saw the finished mural for the first time they were mesmerized, stating "Wow, it's beautiful!" "His line work is on point" and "It's so colorful and bright."
As the compliments flowed out from the girls Molen said "it was hard to start class and look away from the colorful geometric sun, mountains, and clouds."
We are so greatful for the hard work that Johnson poured into this new mural that will delight the clients at Pathways Girls for years to come.

Editor: Adam Locke-Norton
Cast: Kevin Loring, Gregory Odjig, Joshua Ranville
Company: Violator Films Inc
Inspired by Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, Barry Lyndon, INTEMPERANCE skims the controversial persona of Canada's first literary celebrity to the United States, George Copway that includes a vexed re-enacment from his 1850 best-selling book, The Traditional History of the Ojibway Nation.
In 1850, George Copway was Canada's first literary celebrity in the United States and the first Indian to publish a history of his nation, the Ojibway. INTEMPERANCE is a satire that brings to life a morally complex story of his people living in changing times.
Commissioned as part of the imagineNATIVE Film Festival's Embargo Collective II, this film is also part of the omnibus feature film THE EMBARGO PROJECT, consisting of all five Embargo short films. INTEMPERANCE was funded by Telefilm, BravoFACT, APTN, the BC Arts Council, and imagineNATIVE.

Write songs
Arrange them on computer
Have a party
Do videos
Go on tour
Become a mountain hermit
The phone rings. "Hello?" I say. The voice on the other end responds: "Hello. My name is Björk." I glance at my notes. There are but four words on the sheet in front of me. They are written in fat red Sharpie ink on an otherwise blank lineless sheet of printer paper:
Talk slow. Listen. Breathe!
I have interviewed other talented artists, worked directly with some of my literary and musical heroes, and have myself been on the other end of such questions probably fifty or sixty times, but I cannot remember, ever, having to remind myself to breathe.
Björk has been a pop star since she was eleven years old. She won a Cannes Film Festival Best Actress award (almost reluctantly) for her work in Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark; collaborated on groundbreaking videos with directors like Spike Jonze and Michel Gondry; cultivated an underground fashion movement; and left in her teenage wake a series of radical Icelandic art collectives and rock bands, the most notorious of which was the Sugarcubes.
Björk is currently in the studio working on the soundtrack for her husband Matthew Barney's Drawing Restraint 9, a film about sculpture which will premiere in Japan. She has also just released a CD benefiting UNICEF which features twenty cover versions of her song "Army of Me" as produced and performed by her fans.
There is a childlike quality to Björk's voice. Our conversation is in English, and occasionally she struggles to conjure words that match the sophistication, clarity, and frightening intelligence of her Icelandic thought process. She is plainspoken and generous and remarkably present. She is a Surrealist punk prodigy turned grooved-out electronic nature priestess. She is on the phone.
—Jim Roll
THE BELIEVER: I watched a DVD of all of Michel Gondry's videos, which of course included some of yours. As I was thinking about your new charity CD I started thinking about repetition. Gondry uses variations on themes and repetition in an incredible way. Then I thought that a lot of great art is directed by repetition. Music is a short form, and you must restate a theme in that short period of time. Music is particularly obvious in its use of repetition. How do you use or think about repetition as an artist? Is there a natural guiding force to such things, or do you find yourself returning to certain themes?
BJÖRK: Well, I base a lot of my stuff on nature, and I think there is a lot of repetition in nature, like day and night, day and night, day and night—it's sort of a rhythm. The seasons are basically the same thing, but just really stretched out. Then again there are certain things that are always the same and others that are always different. All Aprils are different from each other, you know? I think there's a balance there. I think part of me is very conservative and wants to keep very grounded, and part of that comes from where I come from in Iceland—and also the fact that I am a singer. I mean, I will always have my voice. It doesn't matter how many fancy new objects I have in the arrangements; it's always gonna be my voice. That will always show if I am happy or sad, reveal my age and health and so on. It'll show if I am tired or energetic. All of this...
The other half is that things change and other things happen, and you bump into new experiences that you could never have anticipated. What I am trying to say is that it's a fifty-fifty contribution of repetition and brand-new shiny objects that you never even could have fantasized about.
We hope you enjoy this excerpt.

Common New Writer Questions
Since we're still in January, a new year finally getting properly underway, I thought this would be a good time to do something like an Q&A or an FAQ, but specifically for issues folks new to the publishing game, or even hoping to be new to publishing, will often grapple with. These won't apply to 100% of you, obviously, since every author takes their own journey. However, I've been online long enough to see these questions/issues pop up with substantial frequency, so hopefully this will help some folks who are out there working their way toward their goals.
1) When do you call yourself a writer?
Maybe this isn't the best one to start with, since the answer will be highly subjective, but I already typed it so here we are. Making the shift from a more traditional job to writing has a lot of hurdles in itself, yet this is possibly the most existential of them. At what point is it okay to start telling people you're a writer when they ask what you do? Or, in a broader context, when do you start owning writing as part of your career, rather than a hobby you deeply enjoy? Of course that's going to be different for everyone, up until the moment where you actually go full-time at which point it becomes the only honest answer.
Some writers don't mention being writers until they hit that very point, feeling that only the distinction of living off their work makes the difference. I've talked before about what makes someone a writer, so I won't rehash too much here, but I don't think you need to feel forced to wait quite that long. If that's what you choose, more power to you, however the advice I give people in person is simply this: Once you're comfortable showing people your catalogue, that's when you should include writer among your jobs. This way you can answer specific follow-up questions that are likely to come, and have something you can point at to reassure yourself that yes, you made this, you deserve this title. Again though, there is no hard and fast answer here, so remember that the rules are fluid and you should go with what makes you comfortable.
2) When do I feel like a real, professional author?
For some of you, this question is a redo of the one above it, but for many it likely made perfect sense. While I've talked about this before, it's something that can't be repeated too often: Imposter Syndrome impacts tons of authors. Pretty much every author I know, honestly, self-included. In case anyone doesn't know, Imposter Syndrome is the feeling that you don't deserve your own success, and a fear that eventually there will be an "Emperor has no clothes" moment where everyone realizes you actually suck. That's part of working in a subjective medium. If you make an engine and it runs, you're a good mechanic. If you make a book or a painting, everyone who experiences it will view it as a different level of good.
All this culminates in a lot of people who have achieved respected levels of success feeling like they don't belong. So, to answer the question of when that fades and you really feel like you've made it… there's no answer to give. I don't know when that sets in, when the doubt about your base abilities finally fades. It very well might never go away. Instead of worrying about it, though, I find it helps to take a minute and realize that all the authors you love and respect, all the names who came before you, almost certainly have felt or still feel the exact same way. We're all just people doing the best we can to make something others enjoy. So long as you're doing that, you are absolutely earning your spot, no matter what your doubt wants you to believe.
3) How many sales does it take for a book to be successful?
I think part of this ties in with the Imposter Syndrome issues. Lacking a true objective measure, sales are often used instead as a judgement of quality. The idea being that if one can hit an arbitrary target, they will feel as though they've reached a tier of success. While knowing the numbers can be important when you're aiming to take the top spots in categories or make the NYT Best-Seller list, those concerns are generally years away, at best, for newer writers.
Rather than look outward for sales targets, I would coach most writers to examine their own histories. The goal of every new release should be to try catching the attention of a few more people, and hope they enjoy the story. If your first book sells 100 copies, and your second sell 125 copies, that is a successful book. You grew your audience, and ideally a large portion of that number are people who enjoyed your first work and wanted more. This won't happen every time, different books will appeal to different people, and not all are guaranteed to find the same audience. Still, if at the end of the year you can see that more people are enjoying your work, then that's a success, regardless of how big or small the numbers might be.
4) How do I get published?
This is a classic, but one that still warrants addressing, especially as the options for new writers grow every year. For today, we'll focus purely on the ebook market, since other avenues have unique challenges that would require more space to address. I won't try to get detail-heavy with this one, rather just offering up a quick overview of the main methods. If you want to go deeper, you'll have to pick your method and start researching. That's part of the job too.
Self/Indie Publishing: No publisher or agent needed. All the work is on you, the author, to either do or outsource. You can upload to Nook, Google Play, or one of the other smaller sites, but you must upload to Amazon. I'm not saying you have to go exclusive, only that Amazon is the ebook market right now, whether we like it or not.
Small-to-Medium Press: Many of these will accept submissions without agents. When you find those, be sure to pay close attention to their requirements, genres, and other details to ensure your work is a good fit for them. Much of the work will be handled by the publisher, especially editing, formatting, and cover art.
Medium-to-Big 5 Press: For these, you'll almost certainly need to get an agent, and be willing to hold your book back for some while as it is shopped around. I would recommend pursuing this in tandem with another method, since the process to find an agent, shop a book, and eventually see it published can take years, and doesn't always end in success. If you do get accepted, you'll have access to skilled professionals, so be sure to listen well and take as much as you can from their experience.

Water samples in the Borough of Waynesboro have tested positive for coliform bacteria, but residents have nothing to worry about, according to Leiter Pryor, the director of utilities.
"The water is safe to drink and bathe in. There isn't a boil water advisory," Pryor said.
Customers were informed of issue this morning via CodeRED, the borough's mass notification system.
Coliform bacteria can be found in the environment. There are benign and malignant strains of coliform bacteria and they range from those that occur naturally in the body to E. coli which can cause sickness.
"The first thing that you do when you have a positive test for coliform is run a test for all of the strains that can cause illness. The water samples that were tested all tested negative for illness causing strains of Coliform bacteria," Pryor said.
Fifteen water samples are tested weekly and Waynesboro has had two positive samples this month. That is why the notification was required by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
"This is the first time that I've had to notify all our customers in the 20 years that I've worked here," said Pryor.

'I fully intend to continue wearing them to my grave' - former Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman on that 'honest' bikini pic
Her honest bikini snap won Alexandra Shulman praise earlier this week and the former editor-in-chief of British Vogue says she intends to continue wearing two-pieces "to my grave".
The 59-year-old columnist and author shared the image of herself in a bikini on holiday in Greece to Instagram and, speaking to The Sunday Times, she says she had no idea it would cause such a stir.
"I happen to love bikini and have never felt that it mattered to anyone how I looked wearing them," she said.
"I fully intend to continue wearing them to my grave.
"I had no idea that sharing a picture of myself in a bikini on Instagram could provoke either the compliments or the outrage."
She says it echoed the message she promoted at Vogue, that women should be proud of their natural shape.
She previously wrote about her body in the Daily Mail and described herself as "slightly overweight" but added that while she is "comfortable in my body" she doesn't think "it's particularly great".
"But it doesn't bother me hugely and makes me realise that being comfortable with your figure has relatively little to do with how you actually look," she added.
The mum of three said her only pre-summer preparation is a good pedicure.
"My chosen method of preparation for the great summer unveiling is to have a really good pedicure, so that my toes are ready to greet the fresh air for the first time this year, with a little help from three layers of Butter's coral-coloured Macbeth varnish," she wrote in the column.
Shulman left Vogue earlier this year after 25 years, expressing a desire to find her identity outside of Vogue.

The sub-forum, themed around "The Future of Transportation", is successfully held in Dong Yu Grand Ballroom C on 9th, April. Tian Wei, as moderator from China Global Television Network (CGTN), hosted the session.
John Chen, Executive Chairman of the Board & Chief Executive Officer, BlackBerry, suggested that it may take 15 years, more or less, to replace current cars, despite automatic (or pilotless) drive technology is advantageous. He Xiaopeng, Chairman of XPENG Motors, believed that the future of transportation means the improvement of efficiency and the increase of travel radius. Nevertheless, the data management is still an issue that needs to be solved. Yasmin Kudo, the Chairman of NYK Line, indicated that automatic drive technology is crucial so that it can help reduce the emission of carbon dioxide. Regarding the future direction of transportation, Liu Hualong, the Chairman of CRRC Group, indicated it would be green, high efficiency, intelligence, and harmony. Zhang Yue, the Chairman and CEO of Broad Group suggested that increasing the speed and decreasing energy consumption is of importance. Shen Hui, the Founder and CEO and Chairman of WM Motor Technology, claimed that the pilotless driving car would be much safer than normal one, if human can improve the current technology with the help of big data.

It's Business Time(Part 1 of 3): Recruiting a Top San Francisco Corporate Event Photographer for your Conference
Conference season is on the horizon and corporate event planners are busy dotting their i's and crossing their t's in preparation for upcoming symposiums, trade shows and meetings. In this multi-part series, I'm outlining the pros (of which there are plenty) of hiring a professional event photographer, such as myself, for your 2018 conference.
There are many use-case scenarios for employing a professional photographer at your next industry meeting but today we are focussing on documentation! It may seem obvious, but the candid photos I capture at these functions not only document the many moments that occur during an event, but also the nuances and energy. The possibilities for publishing these photos are wide-ranging.
1. Streaming! Candid photos are excellent for streaming, slideshow-style, while the event is still in action. Projected onto big screens during meal times, in breakaway spaces or on digital signage throughout the event site are some examples of how you can showcase these images. The near real-time publishing of candid shots helps to illustrate what delegates may have missed as well as highlights from the previous days' events.
2. Content! These types of images serve as excellent content for websites, email newsletters and social media channels dedicated to the host organization(s), venue(s) or association(s). Keeping these channels updated is crucial for catching the attention of stakeholders, customers, prospective customers, competitors and more.
3. Hashtagging! Populating event hashtags on platforms such as instagram and Twitter with professional imagery is a great way to keep your event content current. Interspersing user generated content with professional content will also attract views and engagement.
Have a look at my corporate event photography portfolio and let's discuss how one of San Francisco's Top Corporate and Event Photographers can help attract the right kind of attention at your next event. Contact me today for a quote and continue to follow along on my blog as I continue my series on corporate event photography. You can also find me on my google+ page and LinkedIn.

text: January 17, 2011 Elisabeth Donnelly jessieflux: I miss the ocean so fucking much, miss sea air and seals off Wellfleet and tracking the days by the passages of the ferry. Seeing the water from my window, the neighbor's flag snapping in the wind, sand in the bottom of my bed. Eating on the porch, the perfect clear light in the mornings. Walking down Kalmus at dusk, picking blackberries and sea roses, all the windsurfers milling around the parking lot with their wetsuits peeled off to the hips. Swimming in the harbor, swimming in the pond, that deep silence underwater. Standing on the beach at 3 am with a gin and tonic looking out at the water and the small light at the end of the jetty, the coast curving to the left, the Kennedy compound glowing silent in the dark.

Dental phobia is a common concern for many dental patients and is a top reason why people do not get the dental treatment needed. At A Brighter Smile Dental Care, Dr. Michael R. Wiesner utilizes sedation dentistry, allowing you to sleep your way to a beautiful smile in Shreveport, Louisiana. Sedation dentistry can either be applied orally or by IV, depending on the dental practice.
Facts about sedation dentistry include how well it works and the safety protocol our dentist uses, to ensure it is safe for our patients. We help our patients know and understand the medication used, instructions on how to use it and cautions to consider. With sleep dentistry or conscious sedation, you are either asleep or cannot remember your appointment, making for an enjoyable experience at the dentist.
When you receive sedation dentistry, you need to have someone with you, who can drive you home from your appointment. Give yourself plenty of time to rest, as well. Some benefits of having sleep dentistry include:
-a pain-free experience
-little or no memory of the appointment
-less anxiety or stress about going to the dentist
-needed work can be accomplished, often in just one visit
-decreased visits to the dentist
-patients who have a difficult time getting numb will benefit from less worry about feeling pain
Typically, when you arrive in our office, we will give you a comfortable, warm blanket. We will then place you on a monitor to evaluate your vital signs, and either give you oral medication there, unless you opt to take it before your appointment.
Once your treatment is completed, you can rest and recover. If you have any questions or concerns, we ask you to please contact Dr. Michael R. Wiesner. We look forward to taking care of all your dental healthcare needs with sedation dentistry.

Break These Habits Now For The New Year
Sleeping with makeup on: Cleansing the face of all traces of oil and makeup before bedtime is essential if you want to keep your complexion clear. Clogged pores will lead to an unpleasant surprise in the morning.
Using old makeup: Cosmetics that have past their use-by date contain bacteria, which can lead to irritations and infections in the case of eye makeup. They perform poorly by streaking, smearing, and smudging. It is a new year and its time to change and revamp your makeup. See How to spring clean your makeup bag.
Over-plucking your eyebrows: Plucking, Threading, and Waxing gradually weakens the hair follicle and quite often the hair will never grow back. Fuller brows are in (they also make you look younger) just remove stray hairs and use powder or gel for a well groomed look.
Cutting cuticles: You should never cut off the cuticle. Use oils to keep them moist and push them back with a cuticle pen. Your cuticles help to protect your nailbed removing them can lead to infections and weak brittle nails.
Excessive exfoliation: Facial scrubs and peels are effective ways of removing dead skin cells and a glow boost. Peeling or scrubbing too vigorously can actually weaken and thin your skin while making it over-sensitive. Use peels and scrubs according to their directions and with caution.
Eating before bed: The worst time to eat is just before you go to bed. Unburned calories = Extra pounds and certain salty foods lead to puffy "Morning Eyes". If you must have that late night snack have some fresh fruit, yogurt, or snack on raw veggies.
Ignoring everything but your face: Tonight when you're applying your skin care, take a few moments to spread those products down onto your neck, décolleté and the back of your hands. We frequently ignore them when applying products, so they'll give away your age. The same products that work on your face will work for your hands, neck and chest.
Skipping the Trim: Its hard trying to grow your hair out and we definitely understand wanting to hold on to your length. Regular haircuts and trims get rid of split ends that ultimately cause shortening breakage.

16 Liveaboards in the Maldives
Among the best scuba diving holidays in the world
What you need to know about liveaboards in the Maldives
- The Maldives have a reputation for being one of the best liveaboard vacation spots in the world. 70% of the divers who have discovered the Maldives have returned at least once!
- The option to scuba dive from a liveaboard is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Maldives environment. The atolls of this archipelago extend more than 800 km and recognized dive sites are often far from each other. The liveaboard will allow you to easily reach these sites and increase the diversity and quality of your dives.
- The Maldives liveaboard boats generally welcome about twenty divers in a week and you'll make about 3 dives per day. The quality of service and comfort is like the best of the most luxurious hotels of the Maldives atolls.
- The underwater fauna is exceptional and very dense. The Maldives is home to the world's largest population of reef manta rays and the presence of whale sharks makes it a diving destination of choice.
- The Maldives liveaboard requires a recognized scuba diving certificate for those who want to dive. It is also recommended to be comfortable with drift diving. Non-divers can partake in other activities that the boat offers, such as snorkeling (hopefully alongside a majestic manta ray or whale shark), standup paddle boarding, spa, yoga, etc.
The different itineraries offered on a Maldives liveaboard
The Maldivian archipelago can be divided into 4 diving regions, the Northern, Central, Southern and Far Southern regions. Each liveaboard itinerary focuses on one of these areas.
The Northern region is less crowded than the Central region and offers a real sense of freedom and escape. Although manta rays are at the rendezvous, depending on the season, it's mainly small wildlife, like clown fish and moray eels, that awaits the divers. The northern atolls are dotted with colonies of very colorful soft corals. A spectacular internal flight by seaplane is often necessary. Learn more about diving in the Northern Maldives.
The Central region is the most popular for liveaboards. Its accessibility as well as the diversity of the underwater fauna make it a privileged destination. The capital Malé and its international airport are in this region. Learn more about diving in the Central Maldives region.
The Southern region has less frequented dive sites and a higher density of pelagic wildlife. This area is reserved for experienced ocean water divers, because the currents can be strong. Learn more about diving in the Southern Maldives region.
The Far South region offers a number of smaller and more technical dive sites. This region includes 2 atolls only, the atolls of Addu and Fuvahamulah, real concentrations of history, unique geography and rare species like the sunfish to meet while diving. Learn more about diving in the Far South region of Maldives.
On board accommodation
Liveaboard accommodation is usually set up in cabins for 2 divers. If you're traveling alone, you may need to share your cabin with another diver of the same sex. If you're a solo diver and want to have the cabin for yourself, the price will normally be increased by 80%. The price of the cabins varies according to the deck they are located on. Those on the upper decks are the most popular for their view outside. Each cabin usually has a private bathroom.
A typical dive day on board a Maldives liveaboard
The main activity is scuba diving. You will average 3 scuba dives per day and maybe 2 night dives during the week to experience the ocean at night. The boat crew is busy while you're admiring the ocean underwater so that everything is ready and clean when the dive is over. A typical day might look like this:
- 6:30 am wake up
- 7:00 am tea, coffee
- 7:30 am briefing and 1st dive
- 9:00 am breakfast + rest
- 11:00 am briefing + 2nd dive
- 12:30 pm lunch + rest
- 3:30 pm briefing + 3rd dive
- 6:30 pm night dive (2x per week)
- 7:30 pm dinner
An island visit or a barbecue on a deserted beach may be organized during the week. The dives are optional and the rest periods are at your disposal for the activities offered by the boat operator (spa, jacuzzi, standup paddle, snorkeling, skin diving, further scuba diving certifications, jet ski, movie, lounge, etc.) or simply to sleep. The liveaboard will often take advantage of these rest periods to travel to the next dive sites.
Ideal seasons for a Maldives liveaboard
The majority of liveaboard dive operate from October to May, which is the best time to visit the Maldives archipelago. There are two monsoons during the year. The so-called "dry" monsoon, running from December to April, and the "wet" monsoon, running from June to November. These monsoons don't mean torrential rains but only showers that give way to the sun quite quickly. During the "dry" monsoon, these showers are smaller. The "dry" period is the most popular among scuba divers. Learn more about the Maldives diving seasons.
The different types of diving in the archipelago
The atolls have a unique underwater relief. There are 3 types of diving that can be explored. Diving on the Faru, there are reefs lining the atolls. Diving in the channels that connect the inside and outside of the atolls, and diving on the Giri or Thila, there are submerged pinnacles covered with corals and beautiful reef fish species such as the brightly coloured parrot fish. You can learn more about these underwater formations and check out the list of the main dive sites in the Maldives.

The short answer is yes, a longer answer it depends who you study with.
There are many different Reiki schools out in the market place and it can be difficult to know which school is the right one for you - the beginning student.
Some programs cover just the basics, such as hand positions. Other programs offer the basic positions and have added other elements. Some schools provide verbal instruction only and do not provide handouts, books or binders of information that you can use later for reference purposes. Many factors will play a role in your determining which program is the best one for you: such as cost, time commitment and your own goals. Those interested in learning about using Reiki should research what is available and based on your individual needs and goals choose the program that best meets your overall goal.
What are the benefits? For the beginning student you learn how to work on yourself. Daily self-care is a wonderful way to start and end your day. Students have reported being calmer, happier and excited to have their new skill. Most pets enjoy receiving Reiki from their human friends.
For the advanced student they learn how to share Reiki with others. The top perceived benefits: Improved Relaxation, Decreased Stress, Anxiety, Decreased Pain and Improved Mood (Vitale, A. PhD, APN, AHN-BC, Brownwell, E. PhD)
Why would someone study with Integrative Healthcare? Reiki has been going Mainstream for at least 10 years or more. The National Center for Health Statistics [Center for Disease Control - (CDC) and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine indicated:74.6% had used some form of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)]. The American Hospital Association survey indicated that 15% of American hospitals offered Reiki for their patients. (http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/health/2008-09-14-alternative-therap...) (assessed August 2013)
At the moment 74 hospitals in the United States offer Reiki in their facilities. The figures for Canada are less, as most places do not recognize Reiki as an important component of our Universal Health Care system.
In order to be recognized as a member of the healthcare team, here are some skills a Reiki practitioner needs to know: present a professional image, follow the chain of command (who do you report to), understand the importance of confidentiality and privacy, etc.
Students are taught traditional Japanese Reiki as developed by USUI Mikao. Attention is given to learning the basic skills as well as hands-on practice opportunities through Reiki shares. These shares provide the student (beginner or advanced) the chance to hone their talents and feel connected to a strong supportive community.
No matter the skill level all students - beginner, intermediate and advanced - receive a manual and handouts which supplement the in-class material presented. Mentorship is extended to all students, no question is frivolous, it is a chance for growth.

Marconi RC501 and RC801 handportables
Marconi RC501 (VHF)/ RC801 (UHF)
This MPT1327 trunked handheld radio was bought by most electricity networks and remains firmly in the stores in most. Although not bad as a handheld trunked set it was crippled by the fact that the JRC networks were scaled for 12.5 or 25 Watt mobiles and not little 5W handhelds with relatively inefficient compact helical antennas.
In fact, these radios are not exactly little. They measure 12 inches from the tip of the helical to the base of the battery. The antenna takes up 4 inches of this and the body and battery take up the last 8 inches.
The result is that coverage with the Mid-Band RC501 and its UHF1 sibling the RC801 wasn't exactly stunning - being restricted mainly to the immediate area around a base station.
Because the system constant of the ESI network is the effective radiated power (ERP) of the mobiles (either 12.5 or 25 Watts, 1/4 wave antenna at 1.5m), having a base station nearby was not a guarantee of service as sites running low power to cater for localised coverage often had attenuators fitted to the receivers to avoid cell dragging by the relatively high powered mobiles. This meant that the handhelds didn't often get a look in. Some of these sets were later modified for simplex operation, but it was a very small subset of the total. Don't expect to find a simplex one "in the wild".
Assume that a set found in a boot sale is not simplex-capable unless proven otherwise by demonstration. Even if you DO find one, the possibility of modifying for 2m simplex is small, although I have heard rumours of sets being converted. It seems to require a firmware change and I believe that the number of simplex channels is limited (I've heard 4).
Below is a picture of a couple of RC501s with their battery charger. These ones are simplex capable - but there's no way of knowing just by looking at them! Another complaint was that the batteries only lasted a short while. In my experience the batteries need some exercise before they perform at their best. I now get a good twelve hours monitoring out of a single battery, so don't need to change them much. I have about 40 of them in stock that need regular cycling... Now, THAT's a pain
This radio is essentially a rebadged OTE HT9000 handheld, but to the best of my knowledge, there is no information on modifying this equipment (either the OTE or Marconi brands) for the Amateur bands. I've never found anything about them at all. Doesn't look good, does it?

The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
This project will conduct a 2017 revision of the South Fork Crow River, North Fork Crow River and Sauk River Watershed Hydrological Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF) models and review of the Pine River Watershed HSPF model.
This project will support a civic engagement cohort that will be offered in southwest Minnesota to foster partnering and build capacity of local government, organizations, and residents for effective civic engagement in water protection and restoration. This project will also build networks and the skill set of local resource professionals to do effective civic engagement work for water restoration and protection. The cohort will be administered through the Minnesota River Board (MRB), established in 1995 with a goal of focusing water management efforts on the local level.
This project will complete a pollutant source identification and subwatershed information report and support the development of a Draft Restoration and Protection Plan (RAPP). It will also support the devlopment of a Implementation Plan that will identify target areas for BMP implementation for bacteria reductions.
The primary focus of this project is the collection of lake core samples to aid in the completion of lake TMDLs for Dean, Malardi & Fountain lakes. This work will enable completing tasks included in the North Fork Crow River Watershed Restoration & Protection Project (WRPP). Additional data collection is needed to update lake response models. This new data will provide a cohesive and comprehensive data collection for Dean, Malardi and Fountain lakes.
This project will support construction of three watershed framework models built using the Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF). These executable models will simulate hydrology at the subbasin scale. An HSPF model will be built for each of three major watersheds: the Crow River/North Fork Crow River, the South Fork Crow River, and the Sauk River.
This project will finalize HSPF watershed model construction and complete the calibration/validation process for the following three watersheds: North Fork Crow River, South Fork Crow River, and Sauk River.
McLeod County will create an inspection database for 103E ditches under their drainage authority. The County will acquire a database software solution to conduct field inspections and to track ditch maintenance projects. This software will be used to facilitate statutory compliance including developing a process for completing the annual inspection and reporting requirements. The project will lead to improving the County's data management capabilities and better identification of drainage system needs that could lead to helping improve water courses that are impaired for turbidity.
This project will support the review of all public comments submitted for the North Fork Crow River TMDL and make appropriate edits and changes to the draft TMDL based on MPCA guidance.
This contract will be to initiate the second cycle of the North Fork Crow River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategies (WRAPS) development. The project will provide needed information and analysis to make sure that implementation strategies are well thought out and targeted. The result will be a framework for civic and citizen engagement and communication, which will contribute to long-term public participation in surface water protection and restoration activities throughout the watershed.
This project will complete a Watershed Restoration and Protection (WRAP) Plan that includes a set of pollutant reduction and watershed management strategies to achieve water quality standards for the listed pollutants, and that are understood and adoptable by local units of government and other stakeholders. This project will also provide an important water quality framework for civic and citizen engagement and communication, which will contribute to long-term public participation in surface water protection and restoration activities throughout the watershed.
Approximately 70 percent of all Minnesotans rely on groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. Wells used for drinking water must be properly sealed when removed from service to protect both public health and Minnesota's invaluable groundwater resources. The Minnesota Department of Health protects both public health and groundwater by assuring the proper sealing of unused wells.
Clean Water funds are being provided to well owners as a 50% cost-share assistance for sealing unused public water-supply wells.
The goal of this project is to assess groundwater sustainability in the I-94 corridor between the Twin Cities and St. Cloud due to the corridor's significant expected growth, the inerent natural limits of groundwater, and the vulnerability of groundwater to contamination.
This project will provide the monitoring of reaches where there are data gaps, incorporate new data and analyze relevant data, identify pollutant sources, hold a stakeholder meeting, and gather information towards the future development of a Draft Restoration (TMDL) and Protection Plan.
Upper Mississippi, North Fork Crow River Major Watershed TMDL Project led by CROW with assistance from local partners North Fork Crow River Watershed District (WD); Middle Fork Crow River WD; Wright Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD).

I am at the point in this break where I kind of want to go back to school. Sacrelige, I know, but I am starting to go a little crazy from the lack of sensory input. I would like to do things rather than sit at home and listen to my dad cough and complain about his cold. But there's only a week or so left, so…
"and in a year, a year or so…"
Reminds me I have to listen to some Beirut tonight. I've been overdosing on Black Keys and White Denim since christmas, I need to mellow out a little.
And I need to write a formal review (okay, semiformal) of House Of Leaves. After I read it again. The first time, I just really wanted to see what would happen. This time, I'm looking for the nuances.
Will write more tonight, I've got to take a shower.
