As families gather for this holiday weekend to celebrate and honor the "working man," I hope they'll include the men and women working for us in Iraq and Afghanistan. I would like to take this moment to pay tribute to one such person, Master Sgt. Scott Carney of Ankeny, who was laid to rest Friday. Carney, age 37, was killed in Afghanistan Aug. 24, when his Humvee rolled over in a convoy near Herat, while serving with the Iowa Army National Guard's 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division. Carney is the 20th member of the Iowa Army National Guard and the 60th soldier with Iowa ties to die while serving in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan since March 2003. Carney is survived by his wife, Jeni, and their two twin sons, Jacob and Justin. (Des Moines Register)
A recently released Gallup poll shows that the military veterans' presidential preferences closely mirror the national polls. With the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan expected to be waged through next year's November election, the candidates have targeted military veteran voters, which comprise roughly one out of every six Americans. These efforts, however, have yet to show any major impact in the polls thus far.
Another reason why the candidates are attempting to shore up support from veterans, is that most of them have not served in the military themselves and a strong veteran endorsement will help validate their support of the troops. A few interesting anomalies in the poll did manifest. On the Republican side, Arizona Sen. John McCain, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, received a high favorable rating by veterans, but this favorability did not translate to solid preferential ratings when compared to his Republican rivals. Conversely, on the Democrat side, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton received low favorability ratings among veterans, but she received the highest preferential rating among her competitors, thus indicating that veterans are weighing more factors than just military and veterans' issues. (Gallup Poll News Service)
As Congress prepares to reconvene Tuesday, a number of bills affecting military members and veterans await. One of these bills, the Joshua Omvig Suicide Prevention Act, is one such bill; however, a hold was placed on the bill by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., who cited issues concerning the second amendment as the reason for his hold. (Iowa Independent)

Elengy names new Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal director
French LNG terminal operator, Elengy, has named Bruno Michel as director of its Montoir-de-Bretagne liquefied natural gas terminal.
Michel has over 20 years of experience in natural gas business, Elengy, a unit of the French energy giant Engie, said in a brief statement through its social media channels.
He succeeds Jean-Michel Maillet who plans on focusing more on his role at FACE Loire Atlantique, Elengy said.
Elengy operates 3 terminals in France, Montoir-de-Bretagne on the Atlantic coast, and Fos Tonkin and Fos Cavaou on the Mediterranean coast.
Montoir-de-Bretagne LNG terminal was commissioned in 1980 to receive liquefied natural gas from Algeria further supplying it to Gaz de France.
The facility has three 120,000-cubic meter tanks and is capable of handling 10 billion cubic meters of LNG per year.

When you hear a knock at your door, you can usually guess who's on the other end. Perhaps a friend or a neighbor that's come by to say hi. Or maybe it's the delivery man with that package you've been waiting for. But one homeowner in Flamstead, United Kingdom, could have never expected what she would find when she got a knock at her door in the middle of the night earlier this month.
After hearing the mysterious knock she opened the door to find a trembling white dog at their doorstep. The dog — now named Snow White — is presumed to be a lurcher type breed and had a bone fracture poking through its fur on its hind leg and it was in terrible pain.
Lurchers, also known as a "poacher's dog" have been traditionally used for just that, to poach. And after vets took a look at the dog's injuries they suspect the bone break was due to the dog being used for hare coursing — a cruel "sport" which uses dogs to chase down and maul and kill hares. The sport is illegal in the U.K. If vets are correct, it's quite possible that Snow White isn't the only animal that suffered as a result of her cowardly owner's actions.
Officials say Snow White is a "sweet, gentle, friendly dog" and hope she will recover fully but the person who left her to suffer is still out there and quite possibly using more dogs to brutally kill more hares. Officials must take this seriously and work to find this criminal.
If you agree, please add your name to the petition. Sign here and tell Hertfordshire police that you want justice for Snow White.

Brief Introduction
Much of the development of practical metallic materials has dealt with non-equilibrium or metastable states. The growing demand for optimized materials has stimulated the development of novel microstructures with attractive properties. The microstructural magnification of departures from equilibrium can be achieved by diverse processing routes, such as increased defect concentrations, microstructural refinement, metallic glasses, extended solid solutions, and metastable phases. With a non-equilibrium state, the relaxation of the constraint of being in equilibrium provides access to a wider range of structures. It provides an opportunity to tailor microstructures, some of which can be expected to show superior properties. These materials may be of interest as a final product or intermediate on the way to the final product. The research projects in this division focus on analyzing and controlling the microstructure of new non-equilibrium materials (often alloys). These investigations should supplement knowledge of microstructure-property relationships, which are essential for the design of new materials with high performance beyond present limitations.
Research Areas
♦ Thermodynamic and Kinetic Aspects of the Formation of Non-equilibrium States in Metals and Alloys
♦ Computer Simulation of the Formation and Evolution of Non-equilibrium States in Metals and Alloys
♦ Stability of Non-equilibrium Metallic Materials under Temperature, Pressure, and Applied Electrical or Magnetic Fields
♦ Microstructural Characterization and Phase Transformation of Non-equilibrium Metallic Materials
♦ Mechanical, Magnetic, Thermal, and Corrosion-resistant Behavior of Non-equilibrium Metallic Materials
♦ Synthesis and Processing of Non-equilibrium Metallic Materials
♦ Processability of Non-equilibrium Metallic Materials
♦ Exploration of Non-equilibrium Metallic Materials in Engineering Application
Research Highlights
Gradient of nanostructured materials with both strength and plasticity

Dracut D-Blue 13
Westford 6
Dracut D-Blue wins a big divisional game against a tough Westford D-Team by the score of 13-6. Aidan Maston rushed in for a touchdown, along with Shawn McGuire who also rushed for a touchdown, Ian Nichols rushed for an extra point and Jakob Rivers caught two big receptions.
Aiden McCarthy and Connor Foley held off Westford's tough defense. Dracut's defense stepped up big all day long with big plays from Silvio DeMartino, Ray Laurin and Stephan Pinto. Nathan Lambert and Brian Mwangi locked down the ends, Lucas Enwright, Xavier Faria and Carmelo Ortiz battled on the D-Line while Nikolas Zeoli and Joshua Gagnon kept Westford's Offense out of the secondary.
MM Blue 26
Westford 6
Dracut's MM Blue team outlasted a tough Westford squad on Sunday in MVC football competition. Dracut's offense took flight in an aerial assault with Riley Nichols throwing eight completions to backs and receivers. Timin Carter, Kai Mcdonald, Lincoln Beal, Ethan Sawyer and Dylan Eld had passes thrown to them with Lincoln Beal taking two in for touchdowns
Dracut's offensive line, including Nick Tusa, Rocco Gerraci, Aiden Saunders, A.J. Rasmussen and Jason Golden turned in another flawless afternoon in less than desirable weather conditions.
No sacks, penalties or mishandled snaps kept Dracut out of trouble all afternoon. Timin Carter and Lincoln Beal both had rushing touchdowns with the help of outstanding blocking from the line and receivers Ethan Sawyer and Kia McDonald.
Defensively, the Middies turned in a solid performance with their front four-down lineman consisting of Braydon Bourasssa, Justin Ryan, Spencer Tennerilo, and Anthony Riveria battling Westford's strong offensive line to a stalemate. Defensive ends Jason Golden and Dylan Eld worked with defensive backs Nick Sawyer, Kevin Obrien and Mike Marchianda containing Westford's talented backfield for most of the game.
Dracut faces a tough Methuen team this Sunday at home.

Looking for a late 1980's to early 1900's Saabgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Vintage Saab FAQ : One Thread
Hello! I am looking for a first car, and have always been a lover of Saabs. Thier beauty is amazing, and I would love to be the owner of one! Since I am on a tight budget, I am looking for an older but in good condition Saab, and would hate to make an uneducated purchase. When I look at Saabs, what should I look for? Are there any engine problems I should know about? What kind of a reputation does Saab have? I am really interested in a 9000s turbo sedan, or a 900s. Is there anything particularly unappealing about these models? What should I expect farther down the road...and how long ( in miles) do Saab's last? Thanks Abbie
-- Abbie Larsen (firstname.lastname@example.com), June 02, 2001
Hi Abijigail...I bought a 1987 Turbo 9000 with a 187,000 miles on it. Now it's got about 193k. I'm experiencing some wierd noises with my heating and cooling system, only two of my electric windows work, and I don't have brights on my headlights, but I love this car. It's a 4dr, lots of cargo space, and some beautiful, somewhat weathered and worn leather seats. I live in Oregon so rain is a problem in the winter, i.e. the electric window problem might just be bad connections, but I haven't got the guts to tear apart the doors to take a look. I paid $l,200.00 for this car and have owned it for two great years and hopefully longer. It could just decide to die but I hope my car 'karma' is OK and maybe it could live longer than me. Oh, I had to replace the right front axle (which includes the constant velocity joint) and that only cost $186 bucks. Hope this info helps you in your decisions whether to buy or not to buy. Please write back. Charles.

It's true. I'm not. I tried. I'm tired enough. I feel like I'm still in the ocean. I'm still moving. I feel waves. I can't quite get it to stop. I took one of the anti-vertigo pills that I had prescribed to me earlier this year when I had a serious bout with the dizzies that just wouldn't or couldn't quit.
(You know the vertigo is so dangerous you'll have to sign a waver).
But I can't fall asleep yet. It'll be about an hour before the pill itself renders me unconscious, part and parcel of dealing with being dizzy is a pill that knocks your ass on its ass and makes you sleep long and hard. Doug's asleep, Jessica won't paint my toenails for me, so, I journal the day's events.
There's an event I'm still mulling over.
I was at D's beach house today. Her friend P has a little 5 year old boy who's name begins with J.
J and Geoff got along pretty well. We all played like mad together. At one point, D. asked me "How'd you end up with all the kids?" I usually do end up with all the kids. And it doesn't bother me in the least.
We flew a kite. We went tide pooling. P. came with us for a long walk. It was nice to spend time with someone and get to know them. J. told me how when you crash your dirt bike you say "I got busted" and I told him I was so proud to learn something new today, and thanked him for being my teacher. He was thrilled to be a teacher.
Like me with Geoff, P. rolled her eyes at her son's ridiculousness, but I ate it up. Geoff's my kid. He does the same shit. And other people eat it up while my eyes do the rolling thing.
Later in the day, Geoff and J. were using a boogie board to desperately try and catch any possible tiny lump of a wave. The tide had gone out hugely far, and unbeknownst to me, the current is a bitch when the tide is full out.
Geoff wanted to get ready to go inside to watch Pokemon at 4pm, so he gave J. the boogie board. All the moms were on the beach, but me and my little foldy chair were right in the tide, all the way in at the water's edge.
Geoff started out of the water and I took one look at J. He didn't look very... confident in his solitary position.
"Do you need a hand, buddy?" I asked him.
Had he said no, I probably would have walked away, knowing other mommies had an eye on him too. I would have thought nothing of it.
"Yes, I need some help," he answered in this very scared little voice.
I didn't jump. It seemed routine. Pull a kid back to where he feels safe, encourage him to stay there. Yadda yadda ya. Piece of cake.
I got up out of my seat, and walked into the unbelievably Oh My God It's Freezing cold water. I took three steps and the fourth put me in over my head. I had no idea the channel dropped off right there at low tide.
Suddenly, I had a mouthful of water, and my hand was still about 5 feet away from the edge of the boogie board, and J... I recovered from the sudden shock of submersion in ice water, hit bottom with both feet and launched to J.
I grabbed the end of the boogie board with my finger tips, knowing that if I didn't I'd probably sink from the shock of being so damn cold, and he'd be floating out to the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant while I waited for someone to come rescue me, too.
When I spit out the mouthful of water I'd just about inhaled, and started to paddle and kick back to the shallow ledge, J. told me that spitting was disgusting.
It made me smile, that in this instant of impending doom, he'd see the one thing that I did that was "Eww, gross" instead of "Yay! You're saving me!"
"That's the least of my worries right now, buddy," I answered. "My biggest concern is getting you and me to a place where my feet hit the ground."
A few kicks later and I was there, the water was suddenly 2 feet deep again, crisis and near death averted, and I stood him up and took the board away. I encouraged him to stay out of the water until the tide came up, and I was bricking as I totally realized,
I saved his little life.
No lie.
Totally and completely, I saved him. And it overwhelms me. What if he told me he was all set, and I turned and walked away? How quickly would he have been out in the channel, a little 5 year old peanut boy unable to swim, float or anything. No one else would have been able to get to him.
Holy shit. I stopped in my tracks, board in hand, noting Geoff's location up the beach. I looked J. in the eye.
"Dude, do you realize I saved you?"
And his short little blonde hair which blended perfectly into his pretty white forehead, and his bright shiny eyes looked at me.
"Yeah," he answered and then he threw a handful of sand at me.
Praise the Lord.
I had a wonderful time at the beach today. I realized today that there are so many smells that I forgotten from having not gone to the beach in an incredibly long time.
I forgot what the smell of certain suntan oils mixed with salt water and humid air smells like. The smell of someone smoking at the beach --- it's probably the only place that the smell of a cigarette doesn't entirely gross the hell out of me. How books smell when you're reading them at the beach.
And how little blonde haired boys smell when you get home, get showered and cleaned up and into a little skin lotion to soothe that sunburn on the lower back where you missed putting on sunblock.
I let P. know what happened with J. today. She was thankful and said that she saw him looking not too comfortable and had just stood up when she saw me go out and in to grab him. Glad all eyes were out on alert for the boys today.
I'm glad that P. gets to bring him home and smell what he smells like after a day at the beach, because Holy Mother, it would so suck to have lost that for good.
I smelled Geoff good and hard this evening.
He will NOT let me kiss him. "Kisses are for babies," he tells me. Once in a while I squeeze one in, but boy does he get mad.
So we do this new thing. We put our faces near each other, usually cheek to cheek, and we make this puckery sucking noise into the air together. He counts it off, One Two Three! "Pop!" And it is incredibly funny. Not as good as a kiss on his little blonde head, but hey. It's a good time.
And I'm so thankful for it.
Another thing that overwhelms me about today is what if I wasn't there and it was Geoff who was 10 feet over his head and out into the channel. He can hold his breath. He can be in over his head with the boogie board and damned if he doesn't hold onto that thing as if it is Odysseus' garter. He is two years older, a foot taller, and a lot stronger.
Would another person have jumped in? I think in this group of women, yes, absolutely. Someone would have jumped in. But would they have done so quickly? I don't know. Everyone was so mellow, and I don't think everyone knew about the evil drop off into the Mariana Trench right there in the middle of playtime.
Could I have lost the boy?
I can't bear to imagine such an instant in my life where voom, he's gone. I can't bear to even ponder what my life would be like. It paralyzes me, it makes me...
unable to sleep.
I bitch about the little brats, sure I do. This journal is mostly my opportunity to vent when they get under my fingernails. But oh my God. What joy they bring, and how much fun I have with them. And I would cease to be the person I am if I lost one of them.
Which, I think, is more the reason I cannot sleep tonight.
Do me a favor. Go in your kids' room, if you have a kid. Smell him, or her.
Yeah, I'm totally serious. Smell them. Smell what they smell like. And try to never forget it. Do you remember what he smelled like when he was a baby? A toddler? It gets harder to do this activity when he or she is older. 10 is one thing. 18, well... your 18 year old may not appreciate the smelling, but tell him it's an experiment in parenting and bonding and you're not looking to see if he smells like pot (if he does, kick his ass? maybe?).
Tomorrow, ask him or her to teach you something. If you get the "Mom or Dad, you're a friggin' psycho" look, just ask them to humor you and tell them you sure as hell humor them more than they can imagine and they'd better frigging get busy and teach you something, damnit!.
If she wants to teach you the intricacies of "Harvest Moon" for PlayStation II, pay close attention.
If he wants to talk about some friggin' Pokemon they like, find out its stats, it's weight, whether it is water, rock, earth or fire type.
And smell him or her again. Kiss him or her if kisses aren't for babies, and if kisses ARE for babies, just make a funny noise cheek to cheek.
You'll never regret it.
Much love and now off to try and sleep.

Yet another study that exonerates filesharing as the culprit in today's music industry.
It's a lack of innovation -- not filesharing – that's the conclusion.
I'm sure that doesn't come as a surprise to you, but it may be to the record labels who are acting like it is 1999.
Professor Nico van Eijk of the University of Amsterdam conducted the latest study and his conclusion speaks volumes:
"The entertainment industry will have to work actively towards innovation on all fronts. New models worth developing, for example, are those that seek to achieve commercial diversification or that match supply and end-user needs more closely. In such a context, criminalizing large parts of the population makes no sense. Enforcement should focus on large scale and/or commercial upload activities. . . Introducing new protective measures does not seem the right way to go..."
In other words, filesharers are consuming all media especially concerts, films and games – not just copyrighted music.
I've linked to the 55-page report here.
Let me comment on a few of the findings my friend Steve Meyer highlighted:
"The study concludes (among other things) there "isn't a clear relationship" between the decline in sales and file sharing, while also finding that fear of evolution prevented the recording industry from adequately adapting their business models to the broadband age. While the recording industry is having problems, argues van Eijk, it has less to do with file sharing, and more to do with the fact they've been "abstaining from innovation" -- as the study phrases it".
Think about it.
The labels could have bought Napster, not annihilated it, thus avoiding creation of the Napster vacuum that was promptly filled by bit torrent sites, etc.
The labels could have innovated along with Steve Jobs when the Apple CEO caught them off guard with his offer to help stop piracy. That offer was the iPod and iTunes store. He played to their fears. They allowed him to become the de facto Big Kahuna of the Record Industry.
They could have laid off streamers and come up with an easy to swallow royalty payment schedule that would have grown music consumption instead of dampened it.
Could have launched its own cloud.
Could have done Pandora itself as an industry consortium – that is, if they could have gotten along together for a minute. Bet Steve Jobs would have loved to own Pandora. Bet he still does.
More from the report:
"Turnover in the recorded music industry is in decline, but only part of this decline can be attributed to file sharing. Conversely, only a small fraction of the content exchanged through file sharing networks comes at the expense of industry turnover. This renders the overall welfare effects of file sharing robustly positive."
Innovation scares the record industry.
God forbid, they had a new idea other than CDs.
If record labels had to run the space program, they would find themselves doing a soft landing in Camden, New Jersey instead of the moon because they cannot figure out which way is up.
Now, record labels really need to know which way is out.
Because Steve Jobs is running their show.
Setting the rates, making the new age "record players" if you will. For all practical purposes, he's eliminated the album (although you wouldn't know that by Lady Gaga).
Apple is about ready to launch cloud-based instant access to iPods, iPads and iPhones – while record labels can brag about instant access to – well, suing people. And, by the way, the labels are opposing Apple's iTunes "cloud", too as witnessed by this recent article in The Wall Street Journal.
So expect the RIAA to raise a commotion and argue the latest study that looks at filesharing as the lesser of evils.
The worst being – a lack of music industry innovation.
As Meyer pointed out in his piece, Steve Jobs says "Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations."
That's a great quote -- not that Jobs ever admits a mistake (like in the current version of Apple TV).
Still wisdom of the quote is right on.
And Steve Meyer wrote this in 2003 when he launched his newsletter:
"Any software programmer will tell you the hard core (ugly) truth is this: anything that can be encoded digitally can be decoded and replicated with a little work. It's time the labels recognize this fact, accept it, and now spend time brainstorming on how new revenue streams can be created within the framework of all the technology at hand."
Okay, so don't admit to past mistakes. We understand.
But, wake up and look around.
My USC students used to be split about whether filesharing was stealing. They had many excuses – some good ("I use it to preview what to buy") and some bad ("the money never gets to the artists anyway"). I've often wondered about these rationalizations.
But there is no denying that one could also look at filesharing as today's radio.
A source of music discovery.
And now we have yet another carefully considered report that explains the phenomenon if not the unfortunate response of the record industry.

Is the following correct?

Is the following correct?
Both of these essentially act as a WebKit wrapper.
Or should it be the following?
Both of these essentially acts as a WebKit wrapper.
The word both is a determinative (in the terminology of CGEL). Determinatives are not per se singular or plural (except these and those), but they select singular or plural nouns. When both appears without the head noun, as it does here, there is a fusion of functions and it becomes both the determiner and the head of the plural NP. The verb then agrees with the plural NP.
(ignore the clumsy grey line above Head)
It acts only like plural because, unlike each1 and none2, "both" refers to all of the elements and not to one of them.
Read these examples from the OALD:
(1) - Each is usually singular: "each of us knows about you".
(2) - None can be both singular or plural: "none of us is/are going home." (the singular form is considered formal in BrE).
Note: for more accurate explanations, visit the links, otherwise if I add too much info, this answer gets off topic.
Both of these essentially act as WebKit wrappers.
Both is definitely plural.
Both me and my brother are doing our best at school
Here's an explanation on using both. Although this explanation is irrelevant to the OP's question, none of the examples there uses both as singular.

Food as Medicine
I wanted to share something very personal today. I am sharing because I rely on this blog to communicate prayer requests. I also like the cathartic value of transparency. For the past few months I have been really struggling with my health. I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis back in 2017. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks the joints. I had been able to mostly control my symptoms by following a gluten and sugar free diet. However, the trip back to America was really tough on me (darn you American food, fist shake), and I have not been able to get my symptoms back under control. For me, Rheumatoid Arthritis looks like constant joint pain in my hands and feet and bone numbing exhaustion. Instead of taking my body's cues to back off and rest, I decided that the best thing would be to push harder. I started fervently training for the half-marathon I was planning to run in March. This was a genius move, because what my poor joints really needed was the consistent pounding that comes from marathon training. By the end of January, I was frequently crying from pain, and struggling daily to get out of bed. I knew it was time for a change. I even knew what the change needed to be… I just did not want to do it.
Do you have a thing that has been hanging out in the back of your brain, just haunting you with its presence? Maybe it is a goal or habit you need to break, or forgiveness you need to seek. For me, the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet was one of those ghostly brain lurkers. I have known for at least a year that I needed to do it, but I just did not want to take the plunge. In theory, with so much research to back it up, the AIP diet is a method of putting autoimmune disease like my RA into remission. This diet removes all the food that could possibly trigger an autoimmune response and replaces it with nutrient dense, gut healing foods. You are only supposed to eat the completely restricted diet for a relatively short time and then start the process of reintroducing foods to see if your body reacts negatively. There is so much research to back up the diet and so so many testimonials of people who went from various stages of illness to health. But. It. Is. Just. So. HARD!!! To follow the AIP diet you cut out the following: Sugar (duh), gluten (duh), dairy, coffee (Why?!?!), all grains, all beans, all night shades (potatoes, tomatoes, peppers…cue the crying), eggs, seeds and nuts.
The reason I decided to finally suck it up and do the work happened when I played with my daughters in the pool (it is still summer here), and got out and could barely use my hands. It was one of those moments of clarity, where enough is enough and I was out of excuses.
Like most decisions in my life, I decided to start AIP on Saturday, and started officially on Monday. I began with a four-day bone broth fast and have been following the AIP diet like a boss since January 28th. On this, the beginning of my third week, I can say that I have been feeling significantly better. I held on to coffee until today. But without sugar and milk, it was not as hard to give up. So far I have had a few pain free days, and have significantly more energy and brain clarity. I also quit the ridiculous (for me) marathon training, and went back to my roots with weight lifting and yoga. I am already stronger physically, as well as mentally and emotionally. I feel empowered by taking control of my disease. I feel strong by breaking the emotional bonds that food had over me. This, I realize, is a process that comes complete with a lot of grief and vulnerability. I feel strong because my girls and husband are going to reap the benefits of healthy mother and wife. I feel strong because I am committed to my work in Tanzania and with family-based care, and I cannot do that well when I struggle getting out of bed.
I questioned making this the topic of my blog post. I hope most of you come here to read about our family and ministry, but I doubt you were expecting a diet post. The reason I chose to go ahead and share this was primarily that I would love your prayers during this process. I plan to spend the next three months on the most restricted level of AIP before I even think about reintroduction certain foods. I also wanted to share because I am believing that there will be a follow up post where I share with you the great results I have achieved, and that would be difficult without laying the groundwork. If anyone would like more info about the AutoImmune Protocol, please email me. I have been a woman obsessed with all things AIP, and I could, at least, point you in the right direction to get started.
I would love to hear how you are tackling those brain lurkers in 2019. Are you doing anything that has been haunting you for a while?

Y-Combinator-Backed Ghanaian Media Startup Raises $1.1M In Quest To Be 'BuzzFeed Of Africa'
Backed by arguably the world's most powerful startup accelerator, Ghanaian media startup OMG Digital has raised $1.1 million in seed funding to help fulfill its growing reputation as the "BuzzFeed of Africa."
OMG Voice, the primary website run by the group, operates with versions in Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya, and the new investment will go towards expanding the footprint of the brand to more African countries.
Known as "The BuzzFeed of Africa" due to the company's focus on creating content for millennials, the tech startup creates and curates listicles, pictorials, videos and memes with an African audience in mind, according to Techpoint.
The $1.1 million in seed funding was raised via international investors including Paris-based Kima Ventures, San Francisco-based Soma Capital, San Francisco-based Comcast Ventures Catalyst Fund, Silicon Valley-based Social Capital, California City-based M&Y Growth Partners, Los Angeles-based Macro Ventures and several angel investors.
From AFKInsider. Story by Peter Pedroncelli.
The Y-Combinator backed company was co-founded by Ghanaians Jesse Arhin Ghansah, Prince Boakye Boampong, and Dominic Mensah in February 2016, and has already attracted 4.5 million unique users per month for OMG Voice, according to JBKlutse.
Silicon Valley-based Y-Combinator created a new model for funding early stage startups. Twice a year it invests "a small amount of money ($120,000) in a large number of startups (recently 105)," according to the YC website.
The startups move to Silicon Valley for three months where experts work with them to refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present their companies to an invitation-only audience. The YC alumni network continues to help founders for the life of their company, and beyond.
Fortune described Y Combinator "a spawning ground for emerging tech giants." Fast Company has described YC as "the world's most powerful start-up incubator."
Funding to expand 'the BuzzFeed of Africa'
OMG Digital has 25 employees in Ghana, Nigeria, and Kenya, with plans in place for further expansion, which will be made possible through the investment.
South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Tanzania are the next countries where sites are expected to be launched. Along with the expansion, the seed capital will be used to grow advertising, marketing and more video content production, according to TechCrunch.
The OMG Digital co-founders decided to set up the company because online content available to them was boring. When it catered to their age group, it was not culturally relevant to them in Ghana.
They thought that the same must be true elsewhere in Africa, and the new media company was born with a motivation to eventually be present in all African countries.
Immediate expansion plans target English-speaking countries in Africa, with moves into Francophone and Lusophone countries following at a later stage.
Much like BuzzFeed, OMG Digital monetizes through digital marketing, but it has also enjoyed successful advertising campaigns with major brands.
OMG Digital has already partnered with Coca Cola, Huawei, KFC, Philips, Pringles, and several of Africa's largest telecoms including MTN on marketing campaigns and sponsored content, according to TechCrunch.

It has been a lovely week off but sadly it is all coming to an end at noon tomorrow :( Hubby went back to work yesterday after having three weeks off. I am pretty certain that was hard for him.
Over the course of the last few weeks I've approved 15 minutes of the Into the Darkness audio book. I'm so in love with my reader's voice :) I approved the cover for Unfinished Business :) Yes, I can't wait to reveal this cover to all of you!!! Jeana Mann is one amazing author but she is also a fantastic book cover artist :)
I took the entire day off of life yesterday so today I need to get back in the swing of things a bit. So after a trip to town to grab some color for this hair, my silver highlights are really showing these days, I am going to just sit at the computer and work. I'm super excited about finishing up Unfinished Business and getting Destiny's Price ready for publication. My story Prisoner of the Night is heading into final edits here in a few weeks so I'm thrilled about that. It will come out in October in The Porch Swing Anthology. So I'm pretty excited about that. I am hopeful also to have Into the Darkness out in audio that month as well.
These last few weeks of camping trips have really done wonders for me. I feel pretty relaxed and ready to get back at it. Now being back home, sitting on my back porch, listening to the quiet summer of our neighborhood is really refreshing. I definitely need to get back into the writing saddle on a daily basis again, so I can officially say this month has helped in that aspect.
The garden is starting to produce and now I'm neck deep in cucumbers and zucchini :) Which is fine with me. I'm really looking forward to the green beans starting to come off and the corn of course :) I planted extra corn this year to dry and make cornmeal out of so this will be interesting :)
Well if I am going to color my hair and get any writing in today I better get busy :)
Everyone have a lovely day!!!
Blessings to all!!!

"Kelu" want to say "hi~" to you
After all the hard work, the very first "Pure colour series" of little bat "Kelu" are done~
They might look alike but they're not the same. All of them are handmade by Nana.
There are 24 different colours in key chain version or fridge magnet version. We'll sell them at the red dot design museum MAAD this coming weekend (5 Jan - 6 Jan).
Do come and support us~
Why bat? Why "Kelu"?
Hi, I'm little bat "Kelu".
Long ago, our ancestors settled in a small town. That is how the early name of Kluang (Keluang) came to be, meaning Bat. With the passing of time, our habitat shrunk and food became scarce, impelling us to explore beyond for food. Meanwhile, the remaining young and old bats untiring maintain and protect our hometown, waiting for their family kin to return from foraging.
"Kelu" is a exemplar of the Kluang spirit. Though most youngsters of Kluang pursue better work competence in other towns, their hearts are still where their home is... with warm reunions during festive traditions. Kelu not only demonstrates the life of Kluang residents but also their love for this city, stirred from the Bat DNA in our blood.
Thanks a lot to Leslie who help me to do the prove reading on the concept~
Click here for the making of the little bat "Kelu", by the way it's written in Chinese.

Artist Sam Taylor-Wood makes her feature debut with this rote look at John Lennon's youth. The voiceover tells you pretty much what you need to know, and yes, you have seen Kristen Scott Thomas do that thing with her fist to her cheek before. Of note: the sexual crackle between Winston O'Boogie and mum.

Trailerama: Nowhere BoyOctober 29, 2009
Nowhere Boy to get no kind of releaseMarch 17, 2009
Nowhere Boy, a biopic about John Lennon's early years directed by a Turner Prize nominee, has been picked up by The Weinstein Co. Which means the still in-production film will be re-cut, remain under-seen by discriminating audiences, and yet still somehow pick up an Oscar nomination or two. Bob 'n' Harv plan on dumping releasing the film at the end of '09, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Reasons to get mad about the Boy lie both in front of and behind the camera. Playing young master Lennon is Aaron Johnson, who also has a role in the forthcoming Kick-Ass. Kristin Scott-Thomaswill carry on with her new career playing Madeas as Aunt Mimi, the relative who raised him. When his mother Julia (Anne-Marie Duff) re-enters his life, Lennon is doomed to become one of the most famous musicians the world has ever known. Should Bono turn up as a character called "Dr. Robert," make your way to the nearest exit.
The film is the directorial debut of Sam Taylor-Wood, a YBA who has worked with Elton John, Pet Shop Boys and the Buzzcocks. She may be best known for a "filmed portrait" of David Beckham sleeping. The rumor that she was planning on repeating the trick, on with Harvey Weinstein as the subject, has been wholly invented by this blogger. Matt Greenhalgh, who kept the accents flat in the kitchen sink/dull-as-dishwater Ian Curtis biopic Control, is adapting the memoirs by John's sister Julia Baird.
