How Long Does it Take to Write a Book?/
Writing a book can be compared to a pregnancy, but unlike a pregnancy, there is zero guarantee about how long a book will take you to write.
First of all, there are many different kinds of books. Non-fiction books require a lot of research. Fact checking is an inevitable part of the book creation process, and it can take a while.
That said, sometimes fiction requires even more fact checking than a non-fiction book. Readers demand that the story make sense. I've known people who have developed worlds of their own. Then they don't write a story within the framework they spent years perfecting.
I wrote the first draft of The Corsican in about 30 days. Rough drafts, however, are known to be terrible. Everything gets fixed in edits, and it took a long time to edit the book. Despite taking a long time, it didn't take as long as it should have. How you perceive a book is finished matters a lot in getting the finished product down.
Bento Box was also a Nanowrimo project, and I raced it. It was cleaner copy than The Corsican, thanks to the learning curve. There was still a lot of rough edges, but it took less time to clean up. I sought professional help. She only took a week to go through my work and point out all its shortcomings. It took me four months to incorporate the changes she suggested.
I had a full-time job while I worked on Bento, so I was only able to work on it in the evenings and on weekends. It would have been faster had I been able to focus my whole attention on it daily. So few people have that luxury, and I wasn't one of them.
This isn't even addressing the problems that real life will throw at you. A dying pet or a child's problems with school can take away from anyone's best intentions. Or the month you'll end up having to stop writing because everyone comes down with the Mega-Flu. Or the week your parents come to visit.
Writing a book is a project based business, and as you continue to write, you become more confident about what you can pull off, and your process gets faster. Better is something that steadily unearths itself, like erosion. You'll also get better at telling how long it will take you to write a book, because you'll get practice at it.
Honestly, it doesn't matter if it takes you years to finish your book. If you finish it, you're already among the select few who have managed to get that far. You don't have anyone to answer to but yourself, after all. Write the story you want to tell, no matter how long it takes.

The book 'War Horse' was very good. It was a very realistic book about World War 1 told from a perspective of an ordinary horse in the cavalry that got sold by his owner's father. I like the way that the story got you attached to the characters. I also liked the way that it was different than other war book in the way that other books will put you in a perspective of a solider while this book is different. I would give the book a 10/10

The Festive Year
Breitkopf & Härtel is today the oldest music publisher in the world. With great pride and much gratitude, it can look back on a corporate history unique in music life, starting from a small Leipzig printing shop in 1719. Courage and vision in entrepreneurial decisions, successful selection of artistic partners, and editions of consistently high quality have subsequently brought the publishing house to its current position at the forefront of the music world.
2019 is the 300th anniversary of the publishing house founding. We therefore cordially invite you to join us in celebration of this special anniversary.
Our History
The comprehensive entries of this chronicle for the years 1719 to 1798 already feature excerpts of our printed Festschrift, which will be published later this year. The entries for the years 1807 to 2019 – and here in particular for the more recent history of the last 100 years – will soon be presented in the same way.
Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf's marriage to Maria Sophia Müller on 24 January
The verifiable prehistory of the "Müller business establishment" dates back to 1542. The Müller family print shop was, respectively, passed down – in accordance with guild tradition – through the surviving spouse's remarriage.
In this case, the marriage ceremony took place in the Leipzig Nikolaikirche [St. Nicholas Church] on 24 January 1719. "Since the wedding celebrations in the bride's home could not be done within less than three days, the new print shop boss himself may possibly and understandably have been suffering from some indisposition, first going to work three days later, on 27 January. And that day has been selected by the industrious and matter-of-fact descendants as the momentous date for starting a great enterprise."
Born the same year was the only son, Johann Gottlob Immanuel, as well as in 1724, a daughter who then died at age 14; the family also included the three daughters of Maria Josepha Breitkopf from her marriage to Johann Caspar Müller. When Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf also lost his wife in 1738, "bowed down by her daughter's death," he entered on 2 February 1739 into a "new, 33-year-long, happy marriage with Theodora Sophia Kayser".
The Breitkopf firm was soon flourishing mightily. Five years after the takeover […] the print shop was the thirteenth in size, then third in size locally in 1744, and Breitkopf was soon afterwards considered the first printer in Germany. Besides the print shop, a publishing-house bookshop was opened, based on the 1723 edition of a manual of the Hebrew Bible […]. (Biographical Lexicon 1889)
Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf's publication of a Hebrew Bible
The Bible print "apud Bernhard. Christoph. Breitkopffium." is the first surviving book title published under Breitkopf's name. The exemplar preserved in the archives consists of two parts that were bound against one another (to be read from the front or from the back): The New Testament (in Greek) and the Old Testament (in Hebrew), along with an index for the Greek and glossaries with Latin translations for the Greek and Hebrew parts. It was edited by the theologian Christian Reineccius, then rector of the Gymnasium illustre Augusteum in Weissenfels, who, together with the university professor "v. Mascow" (presumably Johann Jakob Mascov, 1689–1761), supported the young publisher "with sufficient resources" in his early years.
Beginning of the friendship and collaboration with Johann Christoph Gottsched
I turned to the prudent Herr Breitkopf, by whom I had already had several sheets of verses printed, but who had not yet ventured to print a book in his own publishing house. Thus, here a new author and a new publisher got together: and they became as one in trying their luck. Herr B. read through my translation and my comments, and found so much pleasure therein that he decided to assess for himself whether in the future he would make a prosperous publisher. In fact, he also did print this Fontenellian treatise so neatly, that this little book, so to speak, marked the start of the epoch of beautifully printed German books in this century. This occurred in 1726. (Johann Christoph Gottsched)
In 1736, Gottsched became one of the first tenants in the newly built house "Zum goldenen Bären [At the Golden Bear]" and lived there on the first floor until his death in 1766. Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf printed his important theoretical writings and periodicals.
After 1900, an edition of Gottsched's works found its way to the Breitkopf & Härtel publishing house: "Mindful of the book publisher's first beginnings, the newly established 'Gottsched-Publishing House' was taken over: The Collected Writings edited by Eugen Reichel in the six-volume 'Gottsched Society' edition."
Relations with J. Ch. Gottsched and his wife Luise, née Kulmus, imparted a particular literary prestige to the Breitkopf firm. Along with his witty wife, the poet, aesthete, and university lecturer, praised at that time as a reformer of literature and taste, dealt with Breitkopf as a friend of the family and published with him various of his productions. (Biographical Lexicon 1889)
The move into the newly built house "Zum goldenen Bären"
The former inn had been acquired in 1732 and then demolished, so that in its place a multi-story residential and commercial building could be built. The property lay next to the small, previously used Müller print shop "in the old Neumarkte," of the later Universitätsstrasse [University Street]. Towards the end of his life, his grandson Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf noted from his grandfather's stories: "Since now there was not enough room in the small house to enlarge the print shop, my grandfather negotiated with Mascow's approval for the Goldene Bär, which was at that time a dilapidated old inn licensed for beer-brewing, selling beer and wine and comprising a resting area for horses shop rights, belonging to two surviving old maids of the late advocate Kayser. […]"
The Goldene Bär was sold in 1867 to the university and destroyed in December 1943 during the Royal Air Force air raid.
Publications of Schemelli's "Musicalisches Gesang-Buch" and Sperontes' "Singende Muse an der Pleisse"
"This Musical Song Book contains some melodies newly composed by the honourable Mr. Johann Sebastian Bach, Electoral Saxon Kapellmeister and 'Director Chori Musici' in Leipzig, and some of which he improved the thorough bass; the melodies were printed at the beginning of every song. Others Gould have been included, but this would have made the book too expensive for some people"
Clarifying the question of which of the lieder by J. S. Bach might be "newly composed," which might be improved "in the thoroughbass," has led to various findings up to today. Philipp Spitta first dealt with the problem in 1880 in volume II of his Bach biography and assigned the composer 29 melodies. Volume 39 of the works' edition, appearing in 1892, already reduced the number to 24; on the grounds that at least the thoroughbass figuration could have come from Bach, the 1950 first edition of the Bach works' catalogue once again listed all the pieces printed with notes (BWV 439–507), whereas in today's research, Bach's complete authorship is considered certain only for BWV 452, 478, and 505. The songbook was ultimately not very successful: Another print run, announced in the 1736 preface (and even enlarged "by 200 melodies and already ready for engraving"), did not materialize.
Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf's assumption of the print shop
With Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf's entry into the paternal business, the firm's fortunes were gradually to pass to "one of the most dazzling figures in the 18th-century printing trade." In 1746, Breitkopf married Friderica Constantia Brix, with whom he had five daughters and three sons (three children survived him).
In 1762, Immanuel Breitkopf became a partner in the book-publishing house, and while from then on the book publishing house operated under the name of "Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf und Sohn [and Son]", the printed music scores and first musico-theoretical books for which the son was responsible, were published parallelly under his own name (initially also "Dalla Stamperia di Giovan. Gottl. Imman. Breitkopf."). In his program, Immanuel Breitkopf soon included various periodicals (among others, Magazin der neueren französischen Litteratur, Leipziger gelehrte Zeitung, Magazin des Buch- und Kunsthandels). He took over bookshops in Dresden, Bautzen, and Görlitz, founded a playing-card factory in 1770, and when this proved unsuccessful, continued it as a colored-paper factory in 1782 to produce complete "room décor" in "good taste taught by Greek and Roman architecture," in competition with English wallpapers.
After his father Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf died in 1777, the "Officin, Gießerey und Handlung [print shop, foundry, and operation]" finally passed to the sole heir; likewise in 1777, Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf began publishing his extensive investigations into the history and technology of the printing art, of which his major work, a Kritische Geschichte der Buchdruckerkunst [Critical History of Typography], remained a fragment.
First music scores printed with movable type
The 18th-century's most momentous invention for the printing industry, though no less also for orienting the publishing-house's own activity, was the music-printing technology developed by Johann Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf "with separable and movable type" (music-type printing). In 1754, a first music proof of the aria "Wie mancher kann sich schon entschließen" was prepared and presented via Johann Christoph Gottsched to the Electress Maria Antonia Walpurgis of Saxony. She was so won over by the sample print that she asked Breitkopf (by his own account) to produce, using this technology, the pastoral drama that she had composed, Il trionfo della fedeltà. The score, 324 pages in length, took 14 months to print, as the work apparently required most of the just-finished type stamps. In the meantime, Breitkopf introduced his invention by means of a "notice of a new kind of music printing," appending a sample of the musical setting a sonnet by the Braunschweig [Brunswick?] chamber secretary Johann Friedrich Gräfe (Leipzig, 1755) for a performance of the pastorale that had already taken place.
Breitkopf's invention sparked an unprecedented production of printed music – "partly in the publishing house, partly by composers' subscription, partly for other publishers' account –, which already started even during the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), soon attracting to the publishing house all notable German composers: Telemann, Quantz, Hasse, the Graun brothers, the Bach sons, Leopold Mozart, Agricola, Kirnberger, Haydn, Dittersdorf, Stamitz, Neefe, Reichardt, and others. New printed publications of the publishing house's own were added to the stock of manuscript and printed German and foreign music scores – a product range that Breitkopf made public between 1760 and 1787 in various systematic and thematic catalogues of which especially those catalogues of manuscript music with music incipits, appearing from 1762 in 5 parts and 16 supplements (from its "music shop with nothing but manuscripts" founded in 1760), are of greatest source value for the music of the mid 18thcentury, such as for Bach and Haydn works.
New construction of the house "Zum silbernen Bären"
At Easter 1746 Bernhard Christoph Breitkopf had bought the house opposite the Golden Bear, and at the beginning of 1765, the adjacent corner house (Arche and Müller house); demolition began in April of 1765, and the foundation stone for the Silver (or White) Bear was laid during the same month on the occasion of the Easter mass. In 1767 construction of the "Silver Bear" was happily completed and the building fully occupied after Easter. While the main store, printing press, type foundry, paper mill, and bookstore remained in the "Golden Bear," the new building housed another section of the print shop; moving in, as well, were Immanuel Breitkopf's family, along with the copper engraver Johann Michael Stock and the physician Dr. Reichel.
Johann Wolfgang Goethe came to Leipzig in 1765, and became acquainted with the Breitkopf family: "I helped them set up and expand, to get furnished and to move in, and thereby understood much relating to such a business; I also had the opportunity to see Oeser's teachings applied. I was often a visitor in the new house, which I thus saw arise." In particular, he made friends with the two sons nearly of the same age as himself: Bernhard Theodor Breitkopf (born in 1749) and Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf (born in 1750).
The "Silver Bear" was sold in 1794, the same year that Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf died, demolished in 1894, and thereafter replaced by a more modern building that – like the "Golden Bear" – was bombed in 1943.
Publication of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Four-part Chorales"
That the four-volume edition of Bach's "four-part chorales" would become a commendable and visionary enterprise could not have been foreseen initially, since the interest in the works was at first theoretical and less of a practical musical nature: In its subscription appeal of July 1781, the publishing house emphasized that the desire of the collector and editor Johann Philipp Kirnberger would be aimed above all at ensuring that "the chorales may be conveyed to posterity, because they are the only patterns of pure composition and a never-ending source for aspiring composers;" to be on the safe side, the publisher let it be known that if the praenumeration was unsuccessful until Easter 1782, the "whole enterprise" would be suspended.
The collection has, in retrospect, nevertheless acquired a special significance, since it contains 186 chorales notated in piano score, whose original contexts in the Bach oeuvre can no longer be determined, that is, their originals are lost. Breitkopf's edition would become the basis of several other publications in the 19th century.
Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf's assumption of the publishing-house management
In 1790, Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf concluded a "partnership contract" with his son-in-law, excise tax inspector Christian Gottlob Stopp (since 1781, second husband of the second daughter Louise Marie Wilhelmine), who, representing the old Breitkopf, had already been de facto responsible for the in-house economic administration since 1782. It was with this contract covering Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf's lifetime, leaving the company name untouched, though giving the new partner generous financial concessions, that the publishing house's economic difficulties would probably have begun: At the start of 1791, the external Saxon bookshops, as well as, in 1794, the family-owned manor Abtnaundorf were disposed of. In 1794, the "Silver Bear" and other properties were "hastily" sold, most likely at Stopp's instigation; furthermore, in October 1795, was the public auction of the 19,511 volumes of the library bequeathed by Immanuel Breitkopf was taking place. On 27 December 1793, Christoph Gottlob Breitkopf was married, on 19 January 1794 he returned from his honeymoon, on 28 January 1794, his father Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf died, already recognized and honored in his lifetime, with his death also receiving national attention.
Partnership contract with Gottfried Christoph Härtel
After Christian Gottlob Stopp's contractual business activities had expired with the death of Immanuel Breitkopf and could be dissolved, Gottlob Breitkopf sought Gottfried Christoph Härtel's advice. The latter's progressive yet rapid entry paved the way for the company's future. An inheritance agreement dated December 1795 governed Gottlob Breitkopf's relationship to his siblings; in August 1796, a dissociation ("dissolution") agreement and sales contract between Breitkopf and Härtel was concluded, whose complex set of rules precisely defined the handling of all assets and liabilities, bills and bonds of the company as well as Breitkopf family members' private assets and pension claims. In the judgment of contemporaries, lively, fresh life began with Härtel's entry into these new circumstances. "[…] When the last Breitkopf died [in April 1800], the business was already re-established as a music business well-equipped to welcome the new century." (Oskar von Hase)
Start of Publication of the "Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung" and the Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart "Œuvres complettes"
With the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung (AmZ), Härtel initiated the first ambitious German music journal, which for half a century reliably reported on musical life in Germany and abroad, receiving serious competition only in 1834 from the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik edited by Robert Schumann. Serving successively as editors of the Zeitung were Friedrich Rochlitz, Härtel himself, Gottfried Wilhelm Fink, Moritz Hauptmann (later co-founder of the Bach Society and editor of the first volumes of the Bach Complete Edition), and Johann Christian Lobe; among the foreign correspondents were Friedrich Wilhelm Jähns and Philipp Spitta (Berlin), Hermann Deiters (Bonn), Alexander Ritter (Magdeburg), Karl Emil von Schafhäutl (Munich), and Martin Gustav Nottebohm (Vienna). Intermittently enclosed in the weekly Zeitung was the Intelligenz-Blatt zur allgemeinen musikalischen Zeitung [Information Page for the General Music Journal] with advertisements and variable supplements containing music examples, entire music pieces, and illustrations, as well as the portrait of a major musician once a year (Johann Sebastian Bach in the first year's issue). Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven received complimentary copies and were promoted, together with the already deceased Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, thanks to the forceful coverage, to the recognized Viennese classical "triumvirate;" Johann Wolfgang Goethe subscribed and wrote in a letter to Härtel: "Perhaps I shall soon have the opportunity to say something publicly in favor of an institution deserving the approval of every art lover." With three volumes of a "New Series" from 1863 to 1865, an attempt was made to build on the previous success. Appearing as well in other publishing houses as of 1866 were successors: three volumes of the Leipziger Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung and 14 volumes of the Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung.
In May 1798, the publishing house had "most sincerely" beseeched "Madame" Mozart, "that you would be so kind as to let us know what of your husband's genuine compositions, not yet engraved, are still in your hands." Published still the same year was the first volume of the composer's 17-volume Œuvres complettes; this complete edition, ending in 1816, included piano works, chamber music, and lieder. When publication of the Requiem was announced the following year in the AmZ, Constanze Mozart wrote to the publishing house: "You have performed a miracle, awakened a dead man." Numbered besides the Requiem among the more elaborate editions available by subscription, all of them using Gottlob Immanuel Breitkopf's type printing, was Don Giovanni as the only opera, followed later by piano scores for other stage works.

Dr. Lisa Allan, the IJF competition manager said: "From an organizational point of view, the UAE Judo federation really did a great job. There are a lot of improvements compared to last year. The hall looks fantastic. After this first day of competition, we can be really proud of the job done by everybody. If there are still some areas to be improved, we can confirm that this is a real Grand Slam and I am sure that next year it will be even better. Knowing that several years ago, judo was not developed at all in the UAE, this is really impressive. The organizing committee is keen to work in close cooperation with the IJF and this is appreciated."
Mr. Vladimir Barta, the IJF Head Sport Director, and Armen Bagdasarov, the IJF Sport Director, agreed to say: "Today we have seen really beautiful judo. Fight after fight the level was increasing while the best players of the day were entering the final rounds of the preliminaries." Mr. Barta added: "We can see a new generation showing that we will have to count on them for the future. Young juniors are already ready to fight in the senior categories. This is very positive."
Naser Al Tamimi, the IJF General Treasurer, who is leading the organizing team here in Abu Dhabi under the leadership of H.E. Mohammed Bin Tha'aloob Al Dirai, President of the UAE Judo Federation, said: "We are really happy so far. We put a lot of effort to organize this Grand Slam. It is only the beginning but the result looks really good. We got some really good feedback from the IJF and that is what is important for us."
One important aspect that reflects the level of the event is the TV production. According to the IJF TV department, the best equipment possible is available to film the combats in all possible angles. This includes several super slow motion cameras and a crane camera for top images. The final block today and in the two upcoming days, will be filmed and broadcasted in high definition. Nine replays are immediately available after each action. But the TV coverage starts from the very first fights of the preliminary rounds. A studio for live transmission from the field of play is also available for the national TV. All together it represents more than 40 people involved for the TV production.
Andreea BUZATU (born ISARESCU), Olympic (Sydney 2000) and World Champion in gymnastics, who is now working in Abu Dhabi, was present today for this first day of competition. She said: « Judo is amazing. I was a gymnast and I know the feeling to be competing at that level. I am impressed by the public which were quite numerous today. I came here last year as well and I'm happy to be present again. It's always a pleasure to watch high level sport. »
The best judo players of the day were: Telma MONTEIRO (POR) and Dzmitry SHERSHAN (BLR).

The first final of the day opposed world number one and 2013 world champion, Urantsetseg MUNKHBAT (MGL) and world number eight and double European champion, CSERNOVICZKI Eva (HUN). A first shido was given to CSERNOVICZKI for not respecting the limit of the fighting area and a few seconds later the Hungarian was sent to the tatami with a precise ko-uchi-gari from MUNKHBAT for waza-ari. Despite a second and a third shido given to the Mongolian, she could keep her advantage to win another major title and gain more points to remain on the top of the World Ranking List.
The first bronze medal fight opposed, Dilara LOKMANHEKIM (TUR) and Taciana LIMA (GBS). After a minute, Lima was penalized with a first shido for passivity, as she looked dominated by LOKMANHEKIM. But half way to the end, Lima scored with a first uchimata for yuko, followed immediately by a second yuko. The two athletes entered the last minute with a small but still strong lead by LIMA who started to defend. As a consequence she was penalized a second time. 12 second before the end, LOKMANHEKIM also scored a yuko, giving her a little hope but Lima again scored with an opportunist uki-goshi and immobilized her opponent for ippon.
In the second bronze medal fight, Violeta DUMITRU (ROU), for the first time at that level of competition met the bronze medallist of the last Asian Games, Mi KIM Sol (PRK). The first penalty was given to the Romanian after 2 minutes and 30 seconds for a wrong cross-grip position. Keeping the smallest advantage (1 penalty) until the end, KIM won the first medal of here delegation, confirming what Mr. BARTA declared earlier during the day: "North Korea is back. They are here in Abu Dhabi with a strong team."

As a remake of the last World Championships in Chelyabinsk, the final of the day opposed the world number one and double World Champion, Majlinda KELMENDI (KOS) and Andreea CHITU (ROU) who won the last Judo Grand Prix in Tashkent a couple of weeks ago. With her World champion red back number perfectly attached to her judogi, Kelmendi once again looked untouchable throughout the day, even if the French EURANIE impeached her to develop her explosive judo. After two minutes, CHITU, being under the pressure of the world number one, received a first penalty for passivity. CHITU put all her power in a risky uchi-mata attempt, from where KELMENDI easily escaped to counter attack with her own left-handed uchi-mata for waza-ari. And once again, the 23-year-old from Kosovo won a major title. Who will be able to stop her?
For the first bronze medal fight, Joana RAMOS (POR), one of the top eight seeded athletes faced Natalia KUZIUTINA (RUS), world number four, European champion (Budapest 2013) and bronze medal at the world Championships, in Chelyabinsk this summer. After a few seconds the Russian already scored a waza-ari with a shoulder movement and then could control the fight before immobilizing the Portuguese for ippon.
The second bronze medal fight saw MA Yingnan (CHN) and Annabelle EURANIE (FRA) fighting for a place on the podium. Much smaller than her opponent, MA did not seem to be afraid of EURANIE and her long arms and legs until the last 30 seconds when the French launched a last uchi-mata for waza-ari.

The last final of the day saw Laetitia BLOT (FRA) and Telma MONTEIRO (POR) fighting for gold. After only a few seconds, MONTEIRO launched a brilliant drop seoi-nage, from where BLOT miraculously escaped for no score. Being too passive the French judoka was penalized with a shido. By putting pressure on BLOT, MONTEIRO scored a superb waza-ari after a combination with an ashi-waza (leg) technique. Nothing seemed to be able to stop Monteiro today and after perfectly controlled ground work, she finally immobilized BLOT for ippon.
World number five and Grand Slam Baku 2014 winner, Sabrina FILZMOSER (AUT), was again present in a medal fight of a major IJF event against RI Hyo Sun (PRK), who was in the position to win a second medal for her delegation on the occasion of this first day of the Grand Slam. More than two minutes were necessary to see the referee giving one penalty to each of the athletes for passivity which was followed by another shido a few seconds later. The Golden Score period was getting closer, when FILZMOSER finally found a tiny opportunity to immobilize her opponent for ippon.
The second bronze medal fight of the category opposed the bronze medallist of the Junior World Championships, Catherine BEAUCHEMIN-PINARD (CAN) and the London Olympic silver medallist, Corina CAPRIORIU (ROU). The Romanian scored first taking the lead with a yuko from a superb sode-tsuri-komi-goshi, CAPRIORIU finally secured her place on the podium.

The first male final of today's category opposed Amartuvshin DASHDAVAA (MGL) and Orkhan SAFAROV (AZE). At the half of the fight, DASHDAVAA was leading with only one shido given to SAFAROV. Then a shido was also given to DASHDAVAA. DASHDAVAA was again penalized just before SAFAROV scored a waza-ari with an action-reaction movement (tani-otoshi).
Ashley MCKENZIE (GBR), bronze medallist of the Havana Grand Prix this year, and Kherlen GANBOLD (MGL), bronze medallist on the occasion of the last two Grand Prix met for the first bronze medal fight. After two minutes both fighters were penalized with a shido. Not able to respect the limits of the fighting area, MCKENZIE was penalized a second time with shido, just before GANBOLD launched a quick and aerial uchimata for a clear ippon, giving him his third bronze medal in a row on the occasion of a World Judo Tour event.
The second bronze medal fight opposed Francisco GARRIGOS (ESP) and Ilgar MUSHKIYEV (AZE) and was won by Ilgar MUSHKIYEV with a single shido.

The second male final of the day opposed Dzmitry SHERSHAN (BLR) and Tarlan KARIMOV (AZE). Only 45 seconds were necessary for Dzmitry SHERSHAN to secure the victory with an immobilisation for ippon.
In the first bronze medal fight between Sebastian SEIDL (GER) and Alim GADANOV (RUS), the Russian was rapidly penalized with a first shido after 16 seconds. Seidl scored the first yuko of the bout with a counter-attack. A few penalties later, he was still leading with this yuko, enough to win the bronze medal.
The second bronze medal fight opposed Patrick GAGNE (CAN) and Adrian GOMBOC (SLO). After two minutes, GAGNE was penalized with a first shido, which was largely compensated by the superb uchimata for waza-ari scored by the Canadian before the last minute. Even if he was penalized two more times for passivity for false attacks, GAGNE won the bronze.

Groningen, December 2018
Shifting the chemical market from petrochemical-based to bio-based compound production. A revolutionary step for a more sustainable world.
EIT Health VentureLab alumn EV Biotech has been granted investments from Carduso Capital, UMCG-Hanzepoort and RUG Houdstermaatschappij to develop their microbial cell factories. EV Biotech creates micro-organism that effectively produce high value chemical compounds in a biological fashion. These organisms will be used for industrial scale production of these chemicals. The method EV Biotech uses to create their cell factories is revolutionary to the field. EV Biotech has created a digital laboratory to test all cell possibilities in advance, limiting time, waste, expenses and carbon footprint. A green and biological way to produce molecules used in Fragrance, Flavor, Pharma, Plastic, Agricultural and Fuel industries. EV Biotech was founded by 3 former PhD students from the University of Groningen.
EV Biotech creates a new production platform for high value chemicals using computational modelling and micro-organisms. The production of the molecules will be biological, green and effective. Products made through this platform are of high purity, which is often hard to reach with chemical synthetic production. EV Biotech has been operational since July 2018 and is kicking off its laboratory activities now in the InnoLab AgriFood on the Campus Groningen. The technology used by EV Biotech creates a more sustainable production platform. EV Biotech has created a digital laboratory that can predict the most effective organism to produce specialty chemicals.
"The investment in EV Biotech will allow the company to prove the effectiveness of their novel production pipeline by creating 4 proof of concept micro-organism factories which will be implemented into the market. EV Biotech serves the need of great chemical production firms. The investment together, with RUG-Holding and UMCG-Hanzepoort will help EV Biotech to break the petrochemical based chemical market to become bio-based." Says Koos Koops, one of the Carduso fund managers. Founder and CEO Linda Dijkshoorn adds: "To reach a sustainable future we need to move away from chemical synthesis and use natures inventions to our advantage. Having 3 strong partners as investors will help us achieve this goal faster and more effectively and to reach this goal we have doubled our team with 3 new expert PhD's. We are very thankful for the amazing network present in Groningen and partners like VentureLab North and Fit professionals of Finance have helped us enormously in our journey". EV Biotech will work on their proof of concepts in the coming two years to enter the market with their proof of concepts and to start CRO activities.
Patrick Brouns as representative of the province of Groningen, also a partner of Carduso Capital through its Investeringsfonds Groningen (IFG) says: "Because of the possibilities Carduso Capital has to offer new initiatives, potential 'hidden gems', will come to the surface and further energise the regional economic activity; one of our main goals with IFG."

I've possessed the capacity to contend at the largest amount in knocking down some pins, yet that doesn't imply that I don't have what's coming to me of humiliating minutes on the paths. What's more, my most humiliating minute came in my first competition at the largest amount.
I joined the Professional Bowlers Association a couple of years back and entered a nearby competition. It was a local competition being held Lakeland, Florida. The pleasant thing about the scene is that it is the place I used to bowl my alliance while I was in school, so assisted with a portion of the nerves of my first expert competition.
These competitions are spread out more than three days. On Fridays, there is a training session. Qualifying is on Saturdays and on the off chance that you influence the cut, you to need to return on Sunday to contend in coordinate play and finals.
It didn't bring long into the competition end of the week for me to absolutely humiliate myself. I went to the training session and it was to a great degree moist in the knocking down some pins focus. While I was rehearsing, I endeavored to toss a shot and I anticipated that would slide as I tossed the ball, however I didn't. My foot planted as opposed to sliding and I went flying out onto the path and bombed on my butt.
I got up, extremely humiliated, shrouded in oil from the path, and needed to go clean myself up.
Fortunately, there aren't numerous onlookers in the working amid the training session, so I didn't make an entire trick out of myself before a group of individuals.
Luckily, in the event that you play the amusement sufficiently long, it happens to everyone. In spite of the fact that I was totally mortified, the folks were all extremely pleasant and ensured I was OK.
Obviously, this thought latched onto my subconscious mind whatever remains of the competition, and each time I went to toss the ball, the principle concern I had wasn't tossing the ball well, however not falling. Along these lines, my first expert competition was a failure, however the experience is one I will without a doubt always remember.
At the point when things like this happen, it's exceptionally lowering, in light of the fact that regardless of how achieved you can be at something, you are as yet human and you are continually going to have minutes when the result is somewhat not as much as what you anticipate that it will be.
These minutes are extraordinary, on the grounds that they fabricate character. It might suck at the time, however when you think back on it, you get a decent chuckle and understand that you learn a great deal more by misfortune than you do by progress. Life isn't about what happens, it's the means by which you respond to it.

Tory MP Jacob Rees-Mogg says stamp duty must be slashed 'as a matter of urgency' as part of a return to Tory values
The popular backbencher also launched a stinging attack on the Conservatives' 'managerial' election campaign
STAMP duty must be slashed "as a matter of urgency" as part of a return to Tory values, popular backbencher Jacob Rees-Mogg declared last night.
Amid claims the eccentric backbencher was planning a tilt at No10, the Somerset MP has launched a stinging attack on the Conservatives' "managerial" election campaign.
Despite pledging loyalty to Theresa May, the young fogey blasts the PM's disastrous snap poll for "lacking inspiration."
And the Old-Etonion laid out his vision for Britain that would see as weighty taxes on house moving abolished, towers like Grenfell demolished and "scarcely competent monopolies" such as the energy market blown open.
In a true blue rallying cry, he made a a plea for tax cuts for homeowners, saying government "must go with the grain of what the people want."
And he added: "Generally people will spend their own money more effectually than the Government."
Writing in the Telegraph, Mr Rees-Mogg insisted that he had no interest in the top job and wants to be "the servant of the Conservative Party, not its master".
But his blueprint for ballot box success was quickly branded the "Moggifesto" by supporters.
Mr Rees-Mogg has gained a loyal but unlikely following online - with 22,000 signing a petition urging him to run for high office.
Last night the fundraising group "Ready for Rees Mogg" told supporters they were working "hard to build a campaign that the Conservative establishment will be trying to stop."
But the Conservative MP Heidi Allen said she would quit the party if Mr Rees-Mogg becomes leader.
She told the BBC that while the backbencher was "fabulous" - he was not the "modern face of the Tory party".
After reports suggested the 48-year-old was "sounding out" colleagues about a tilt at the top job, Ms Allen was asked about the prospect on Radio 4's Westminster Hour last night.
The Cambridge MP gave a cool reaction, saying: "This is going to sound very dramatic because I don't believe this will happen so I'm hoping this is completely hypothetical – I couldn't be in the Conservative party if he was my leader.
"That's nothing nasty or to slight Jacob at all, he's incredible charming, very generous, has been very welcoming to me as a new MP, we often sit quite close together.
"He is not the modern face of the Tory party that we are desperate – or I am certainly and colleagues are desperate – to prove is out there.
"Eighteenth century, he's a moderniser if he's the minister for the 18th century!
"He's fabulous in his own right but he is not the future and I am desperate for us to find that future."

How to remove (uninstall) Playbar.biz
Playbar.biz is the suspicious tool and its resources can be used by shady businessmen to promote their web-sites. There are two main types of promotional programs: adware and hijackers, and they are very similar in their targets.

All advantages of these tools are declared really unclear, so it is difficult to realize, does Playbar.biz its job or not. Fast search, indication of the actions of your friends in Twitter, improved finding of deals and discounts and other pointless functions – that's what these utilities are proposing. In fact, they do not perform even what they declared and simply show the irritating advertising.
Many customers don't believe that Playbar.biz isn't harmful independently. Playbar.biz is not a virus, because it doesn't intervene with the work of programs, it doesn't destroy folders and does not deal direct damage to the system.

Showing advertisement, hijacker generates a flow of visitors to specific sites and gets thousands of dollars for its makers. The owners of these sites pay to cyber fraudsters for ads and boosting services, which gives an inducement to make new species of adware. This system is really difficult to break and Playbar.biz will do its job until the majority of users will receive a bad experience with adware and hijackers, and stop downloading these types of programs.
After penetrating the machine and installation adware, the only thing that concerns adware is the promotional activity. Advertisement emerges everywhere, starting with the new tabs in the browser, and ending with the desktop. The ordinary advertisement appears in especial spaces, but the banners from Playbar.biz might pop-up anywhere and cover the information you need on the website, and it has no "hide" button. The obvious reaction on the appearance of big ad is to close it, but each click on it calls new tab or initiates the download. In the case of the browser hijacker infection man also suffers from regular redirections to infected sites. You can get rid of this only by uninstalling hijacker from your system once and for all.

How to protect the computer?
Although it's very easy to eliminate Playbar.biz, no one could enjoy to perform this each day. The main issue isn't the quality of viruses but their amount. So, every user have to learn not only how to delete viruses, but firstly, how to avoid them. Here are few advices which might help you to make your system clean
- The installation of any programs, and especially the unpaid ones, should be attentively examined. User's indifference is the cause of hijacker's success. All annoying functions of advertising tools are written in the installation menu that you got used to overlook. Some hijackers use a manner called "Partner installation" or "recommended setting", when in addition to the one tool you get 2-3 useless ones. This method of installation is fully undesired, because you cannot be certain about the added tools.
- E-mail is very easy to use for fraud purposes. If you do not know who's the person who sent an e-mail - you shouldn't open it. The e-mail attachments should be only opened with help of "sandbox" tools.
- Be cautious with the propositions to earn money in the Internet, and the unbelievably advantageous deals. Most of them are harmless, created to boost the web-site of their developers, but some of them lead to real scam schemes which could make you experience the real losses.

This October 2019, I will again be running the Chicago marathon to raise funds for the American Heart Association. So many families, mine included, have loved ones who are affected by heart disease or stroke. I think of all those affected young and old and know that more research is needed to discover ways to prevent these conditions or provide improved treatment options. Every mile I run I think of those from my family who are gone too soon or those whose daily lives are impacted by heart disease or stroke.
Please consider donating - Help keep those hearts beating - Thank you for supporting American Heart Association. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
#my dad is why #my brother is why #Bob is why

Cemeteries can take a bold and visionary approach to planning for the future, according to Australia's most prominent futurist, Dr Peter Ellyard.
Dr Ellyard delivered a thought-provoking presentation on how cemeteries could adapt to social and technological change as part of the 2016-17 GMCT annual meeting in November. More than 100 guests joined trust members and staff from GMCT, including industry partners, suppliers, volunteers and community leaders.
Cemetery organisations like GMCT should be proactive and visionary today, Dr Ellyard said, rather than responding to technological and social change as it happens.
He warned that "those who do not live in the future today will live in the past tomorrow".
Dr Ellyard said the way people marked "big life rituals" such as births, deaths and marriages had been transformed over time with new technology and globalisation – and would continue to evolve for years to come.
He said today's traditions around death and memorialisation may have different meaning or a different role in the future.
"GMCT was established at a time when our cultural practices were very uniform, including how we ritualised and memorialised the end of life. Now our world is very different," Dr Ellyard said.
In the future, he said, cultural and national barriers would be of lesser importance, in favour of diversity and a more inclusive 'whole-of-humanity' approach.
In planning for the needs and expectations of future communities, GMCT could ask:
Dr Ellyard said new technology would evolve to meet these future needs. For example, how might a 'virtual cemetery visit' help people around the world to remember and pay tribute to deceased loved ones, when they are unable to be physically present at the location, service or gravesite?
GMCT has begun to explore this idea with the recent introduction of our cemetery virtual tour.
You can watch Dr Ellyard's full presentation from the GMCT annual meeting below.

Beauty Products For The Supermomma To Be
I'll be honest—I never truly took the time to look at what ingredients were in my beauty products until I became pregnant for the first time. Since your skin is an organ and soaks up whatever you apply on it, it's important to stick to non-toxic ingredients when you are pregnant.
Since my career involves going to events and red carpets, I couldn't take a beauty time-out when I became pregnant. If anything, I became an expert at what non-toxic and organic beauty products actually work.
I first started my research on what ingredients to avoid. Most experts agree you should steer clear of retinols, hydroxyl acids, peptides, and synthetic fragrances and colors. But I even went as far to ditch all my toxic nail polishes and fragrances. I know—a little extreme, right? Well, luckily there are great non-toxic options out there that take their place. Here are some of my favorites to stock up on:
1. Foundation:W3LL People Narcissist Foundation Stick
2. Blush: Tata Harper Volumizing Lip & Cheek Tint
3. Bronzer:Vapour Beauty Solar Translucent Bronzer
4. Highlighter:RMS Beauty Living Luminizer
5. Lip:Honest Beauty Sheer Lip Crayon
6. Mascara:Ilia Beauty Mascara
7. Nail Polish:Chrome Girl Polish (color pictured: No Tan Lines)
8. Haircare:Nine Naturals Pregnancy And Beyond Citrus + Mint Shampoo & Conditioner
9. Cleanser:Indie Lee Brightening Cleanser
10. Moisturizer:Weleda Skin Food
11. Eye Cream:Skin Owl Eye +
12. Body Lotion:Earth Tu Face Coconut Body Butter
For more information on what ingredients to avoid when pregnant, visit the Environmental Working Group's website (www.ewg.com/skindeep) for recommendations, information, and safety guidelines for skin-care and cosmetics. You can even punch in your current products and see how they rate on the safety scale. Try it—it's fun and informative!

Stress Test is a form of intense and thorough testing used to determine the stability of a given system. In the computer world, a typical stress test should put computer hardware under exaggerated levels of stress in order to ensure the stability when used in a normal environment, and is usually performed in a lab at large organizations or in a manufactory level.
The good news is that there are free tools out there available to end users like us that can perform a pretty decent stress test as well to your own computer unit. For example, HeavyLoad by Jam Software is one of them.
Aiming to stress the main component areas of a PC, HeavyLoad can stress test Processor, Memory, Hard Drive, and Graphics. You can run these tests individually or all together. Obviously, running all tests together at once puts the maximum stress over to your system. It's suggested that if you're serious about the stress test you are about to run, you will need to leave it running for a long period of time to get a more accurate result.
The individual test methods employed by HeavyLoad can be customized to fit your needs. On a system featuring multiple processor cores, for example, you can select how many of the available cores shall be used,
or set the speed in which the test file is to be written on your hard drive.
It's also worth noting that Jam Software has another awesome tool called TreeSize, a powerful and flexible hard drive space manager for Windows system. In order to simulate disc accesses test, HeavyLoad integrates the scan function of TreeSize and is able to simulate a number of hits on files and folders on all local disks, to find out how much ultimately your hard drive can take.
HeavyLoad is completely free and works on all Windows platforms including both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. It also offers a portable version that you can put on a USB flash drive and use it wherever needed.
