- Timing is everything. Sellers want to make sure they list during the best months so their properties don't become "bargains."
- The holidays are a great time to decorate, but if you're selling your home less is more: too many lights and holiday decor can turn off potential buyers.
- Lighting matters. Unless you have a "smart home" make sure someone is there to flip the switch during the dark winter months.
Although the Washington, D.C. area tends to be fairly transient, with people moving in and moving out throughout the year, there are also very clear seasonal changes in the real estate market, which are good predictors of sales price and time on market.

text: One of TV's Best Producers Is Moving to Netflix Shonda Rhimes is jumping ship from ABC By Newser Editors, Newser Staff Posted Aug 14, 2017 7:21 AM CDT 8 comments Shonda Rhimes is moving to Netflix. (Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) View 1 more image (Newser) – Netflix has scored a major coup by landing one of the top producers in television. Shonda Rhimes, the force behind such hit series as Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, and How to Get Away With Murder, will jump ship from ABC Studios, reports the Wall Street Journal. Under the multi-year deal, Rhimes' production company, ShondaLand, will produce original content for Netflix, though Rhimes will continue to shepherd her ABC series still in production. The deal follows another in which Netflix lured filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen and is another sign that the streaming company thinks its future is in original content, notes Variety. The financial terms weren't disclosed, but Rhimes is believed to have gotten a healthy bump from her current salary of about $10 million a year from ABC. (Read more Shonda Rhimes stories.)

Home improvement projects can be overwhelming to a puzzling topic for many. This article can give you get started on new ideas if you have no idea how to begin.
The decorating style that you choose will narrow down your project.It is not hard to alter styles mid-project without even noticing it.
Paint stripes on your old walls prior to installing paneling! Regardless of how precisely you install the paneling, old walls have a tendency to peek through. To make this less noticeable, measure where the panels are going to meet.
Work on the most visually obvious areas when doing home first.If you are selling your home, the buyers won't care that you added fancy lights if the paint is peeling. While many important improvements aren't visible, for the selling of your house you need to focus on the obvious visual ones.
If you should happen to find a leak beneath the sink or underneath the tap, call the plumber. Just catch water in a large container under the leak that will hold the runoff and call a qualified plumber.
When a lock needs replaced, you can replace the full assembly or only the cylinder. The is the part that actually initiates the door. If you misplace your key, you can change the cylinder without having to change whole lock.
Sand down any wood surface that you will be staining or painting. Using fine sandpaper with a fine grit helps to give it a nice smooth finish. The wet cloth will also help eliminate dust.
Homes with an appealing view can sell for much more than like houses on the views.
Talk with your neighbors about drainage for a big landscaping project. A good plan will keep your property well drained.
When you have to buy bricks, it is a good idea to invest in extra bricks. It can be very difficult to find matching pieces at a later date when repairs or additions in the future. The style of brick changes all the time.
You can diagnose a problem with the loss of water pressure easily. Begin by questioning your neighbors to determine if they have noticed a similar issues. If they don't, it is somewhere in your pipes. Check all your faucets in the home to see if it is a complete household issue. You may find that a single aerator needs adjusted, you need to call a pro.
To prepare for the winter, you should insulate all plumbing. Weatherizing tape is easy to apply to plumbing and available at your local hardware store. The tape plugs into your home's electrical supply and keep the pipes above the freezing which could lead to a pipe burst.
Pick a color scheme to use for your room. Complementary color schemes work great in formal rooms like the home. This is a clear representation of separating colors and works well.
Do you find your house too bright or allowed less light inside? It's pretty easy – most people have the ability to do that anyone can do it themselves. In addition to blocking the sun's rays, it will even save you money as it reduces how often you need to run your AC unit.
After learning more about home improvement, there is no reason not to get started right away. Begin your project today by utilizing this article's advice. Your home can be your castle again. It's easy once you know what needs to be done, and how to do it!

Impaired DNA replication is a hallmark of cancer and a cause of genomic instability. We report that, in addition to causing genetic change, impaired DNA replication during embryonic development can have major epigenetic consequences for a genome. In a genome-wide screen, we identified impaired DNA replication as a cause of increased expression from a repressed transgene in Caenorhabditis elegans. The acquired expression state behaved as an "epiallele," being inherited for multiple generations before fully resetting. Derepression was not restricted to the transgene but was caused by a global reduction in heterochromatin-associated histone modifications due to the impaired retention of modified histones on DNA during replication in the early embryo. Impaired DNA replication during development can therefore globally derepress chromatin, creating new intergenerationally inherited epigenetic expression states.

On Sunday, April, 30th, The BOSS South County Homeless Project (SCHP) held a meditation sit-in! Here is why …
This year BOSS has a special initiative for our residents and participants – the MIND–BODY–SPIRIT initiative. It is aimed at feeding not just body with food, but also filling up our community with activities that feed the soul with activities like gardening, artistic expression, physical activities through sports, and learning the art of personal storytelling through writing, song, and spoken-word. When the leadership team at our SCHP asked about finding a volunteer to lead group meditations, it seems like a perfect fit!
We posted the ask on VolunteerMatch, put out a call on Social Media, and placed an ad on Craigslist.org. Enter Jessica Huai.
Jessica has been meditating for four years and has been working with Meditation Masters from a world-renowned Buddhist Institute in Tibet. Her goal is, "to become a Meditation Master." Her training through the Institute, Larung Gar, requires her to complete a specific number of meditative hours and to volunteer her time sharing meditation with others through teaching and leading.
Meditation has conclusive, scientifically validated benefits to the individuals who practice it regularly. It has been shown to increase a sense of calm and concentration, lower blood-pressure and relative stress levels. Many people believe that meditation also increases the body's ability to rest and heal.
Our SCHP facility is a special place. Alameda County has exclusive access to the beds of this co-ed facility and they refer adult individuals with emotional and mental health as well as addiction concerns in this location. Because of the special needs of the residents, the ability to feel calmer, concentrate and focus, and lower relative stress levels can improve the lives of all the residents and staff.
We had 10 residents and staff show up to the event, and everyone felt the calming and empowering benefits. Jessica has busy weekends, so she might suggest a fellow meditation practitioner to show up in the next few weeks until her schedule opens back up again. It would be amazing to see the BOSS SCHP residents and staff continue to embrace the practice.
One of the most beautiful moments of the day was between Jessica and one of our residents, Ms. Fang, whose only spoken language is Mandarin. Fantastically, Jessica's first language is Mandarin! When Jessica started speaking to Ms. Fang perked up and smiled and chatted merrily. Cindy, a woman who has meditated casually for years, and has worked at SCHP for almost two years said that the exchange was the happiest she has seen Ms. Fang since she moved to the facility!
It was a beautiful day and a wonderful time. The entire community benefited form Jessica's attentions, some more than others.
If you want more information about Jessica, her journey, and her practice, check out her website!! If you're interested in volunteering with BOSS, please reach out to Sonja Fitz!

Taste test: They chips, with wide ridges, have a slight BBQ flavor.
There's a hint of sweet BBQ sauce, but it ends up more salty. If you're looking for a good BBQ chip, this won't do it for you.

Classifying things is tricky, especially when the things you're trying to classify are people. The groups expand and contract, and the groupers don't always get the memo. Maybe they missed that, in certain circles, Latino/Latina became Latinx, or that Native Americans also accept "indigenous," or that L.G.B.T.Q. often takes an "I.A." at the end.
But the evolution of how a particular group identifies itself is one thing; how we group all those groups is something else. And in the United States, that grouping tends be an either/or that sums up how this country envisions who's who. It's a system that, at least superficially, doesn't hurt too much, because it seems pretty simple: In the United States, you're either straight and white (and so on), or you're in the minority. In fact, you are a minority. And that can be awkward.
Let's say we're having a conversation about the Oscars. We're talking about how excited we are that this year's Best Picture mix could include not only Alfonso Cuarón's drama about a Mexican domestic worker ("Roma"), Spike Lee's buddy movie about a black cop and the KKK ("BlacKkKlansman") and Barry Jenkins's family tragedy based on a James Baldwin novel ("If Beale Street Could Talk"), but also "Black Panther," "Crazy Rich Asians" and a smash-hit biopic about the flamboyantly queer British-Zanzibarian Desi frontman of Queen ("Bohemian Rhapsody"). And in expressing all this excitement, I say the best part is that the Best Picture category could be mostly minorities.
Now, there's a version of this conversation in which you say: "I know. Right?!" and then confess that you don't really like half of those movies, and we do battle over what terrible taste one of us has. But there's also a version in which you hear me say "mostly minorities" and stop listening for a moment. You stop because my math makes no sense: mostly minorities? The Best Picture field has as many as 10 slots and as few as five. There's no configuration in which the six movies above would constitute anything but a majority. So the question is: a majority of what?
In matters of identity, "minority" is about as axiomatic as a designation can get: There are straight, white able-bodied people, and then there's everyone else. But it can also represent a kind of derogation. That's how the sociologist Louis Wirth saw it in 1946, when he published his study "Morale and Minority Groups." Wirth wrote that the word applied to "those who because of physical or social or cultural differences receive differential treatment and who regard themselves as a people apart. Such groups characteristically are held in lower esteem, are debarred from certain opportunities or are excluded from participation in national life." His assessment didn't feature a lot of numbers, because it didn't need them: Your people could be "apart" and marginalized even if you made up 60 percent of the population.
Wirth included some European immigrants and their descendants in that group: Once upon a time, Italians and Poles were minorities, too. But they slowly assimilated into whiteness, creating an even more substantial majority — a bloc that left everybody else on the far side of the moat, minoritized. In his 2016 book, "Stamped From the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America," the historian Ibram X. Kendi sees this designation as nothing but trouble. "It made no sense as another name for Black people," he writes, "since most Black people lived, schooled, worked, socialized and died in majority-Black spaces. The term only made sense from the viewpoint of Whites, who commonly related to Black people as the numerical minority in their majority-White spaces, and elite Blacks, who were more likely to exist as the numerical minority in majority-White spaces."
During the civil rights era, as laws were reshaped to include and enfranchise more Americans, the accompanying science came to refer to nonwhite groups — or, in theory, any group that was less than half the population — as minorities. And doesn't that sound as though it's defusing something? It's not a direct insult and not a pungent curse word. It's simple math, couching your social status in a numerical tally. It sounds both apolitically right and politically correct. In America, it is now used interchangeably with "person of color" and "nonwhite," and while there are those who will grumble, "minority" just isn't that much of a feather-ruffler. I've never heard a white person, meanwhile, say, "I'm a majority." Not unless a righteous sense of persecution is afoot — in which case you get upswells like the Moral Majority and the Silent Majority, blurring the line between "majority" and "supremacy."
"Minority" sounds as if it's rooted in data science and census results, but it has clearly busted free from the lab, carrying with it everything that's ugly and presumptuous about what in this country belongs to whom. It's so built into the language that you can make casual puns with it. Vice has a race-oriented online news show called "Minority Reports." That's a play on "The Minority Report," a 1956 story from Philip K. Dick with a Dick-ishly ornate plot. A trio of oracles predict crimes that will happen in the future; when their predictions misalign, the state issues a majority report and a minority one. When two of these visionaries foresee a murder, the murderer-to-be goes looking for the minority report to clear his name. This is the simple-math way of thinking: In a democracy, the majority decides, and the minority dissents. Apply that tidy division to race, and there's power math to do. The majority even gets to designate what kind of minority to be: model.
Sometimes majority is so ingrained that you can call people "minority" even when the minority is you. Just this fall, the movie "Widows," an overwrought yet underrated heist thriller, pulled some rich irony out of this arrangement and built it into an almost throwaway moment: A white Chicago politician unveils a new business initiative for the ladies of his almost entirely black district, standing on a platform beneath a banner that reads "Minority Women Owned Work," or "MWOW." The crowd is thin, but in this neighborhood, it's clearly the politician who is in the minority. The movie understands that the word isn't a numerical distinction. It's a matter of existential domain.
"Minority" sounds too official to do much harm. It's not buzzy or obviously fraught. Kids aren't greeting each other with it. Men haven't injected it into barbershop arguments; nobody's ever said, "Minority, please," before disagreeing with me. It persists because the math feels loosely sound: Since this nation's founding, "White/Caucasian/European" has been its most sizable racial category. Getting there required the slaughter of lots of those indigenous folks, but who's counting? Well, white people are — the preservation of that majority has entailed everything from genocide to the invention of stuff like antimiscegenation laws.
This is how "minority" becomes a designation of passenger status in a car somebody else is always driving — even as more and different minorities ride in the back seat, even as the car becomes "majority-minority." That's the term used to describe, say, cities or districts where white people make up less than 50 percent of the population. More significant, it denotes the nearish point — the Census Bureau has it at about 2044 — when the whole country's white population is expected to fall below 50 percent. Having grouped everyone else together as a single thing — "minorities" — white Americans may soon find themselves outnumbered by it.
The bureau made that announcement in 2014. A few years later, Sabrina Tavernise of The New York Times checked in with some demographers who were bracing for an intense backlash. The former bureau director, Kenneth Prewitt, confided that he was "really worried." "Statistics are powerful," he told her. "They are a description of who we are as a country. If you say majority-minority, that becomes a huge fact in the national discourse." To the doomed majority, the pending reversal seems to spark feelings ranging from nostalgia to rage.
It has always been possible, of course, for a small minority to hog the driver's seat. Ethnic minorities dominate nations all over the world. The American electoral system would certainly allow for something similar here: Already, the party that received fewer votes controls the presidency, the Senate and several state legislatures — a situation countless news outlets, like The Washington Post, Slate, Vox and The Atlantic, have described as "minority rule."
Louis Wirth's 73-year-old study might seem a little musty now, but he had his finger on the pulse of the problem. "Certain groups," he wrote, "tend to develop a conception of themselves as inferiors, as aliens and as persecuted groups, which significantly affects their roles in the collective enterprise in the nation." Some white people are acting as if they're already there: keenly concerned about irksome moral math, as nonwhite people have been for a long time. They're starting to think not only about who's counting but also about who counts.

Siematic Agate Grey, Near Shaftesbury
The clean linear lines of the cabinetry in this design help with the transition between living space and kitchen area whilst keeping the practicality of easy access due to the recess channel opening system. The cabinetry has an anti-finger print matt finish in Siematic Agate grey, complimented by the polished nickel recess channels. A Silestone quartz work surface works harmoniously with the cabinetry as well as the bespoke Spekva breakfast bar. The Spekva wood on the breakfast bar has a textured "river washed" top and was fabricated in a select species of timber with a very distinct grain pattern. Built in Siemens appliances take centre place in the tall cabinetry which itself has been fitted into a surrounding "made to measure" canopy allowing for a completely flush installation. A Bora hob with built in extraction did away with the need for overhead extraction allowing for a seamless run of wall cabinets above. The entire design works wonderfully together and every element compliments the next. The folding doors to the garden are such an amazing feature here and work brilliantly to bring the feeling of the outside into the kitchen and living space, this was also picked up with the antique mirror effect splashback directly opposite the doors.

Cat and Mouse, or, you think you're having a bad day?
I was at the Wicked R ranch today taking horse and rider pics, when this cat came through where I was taking pics. He let this mouse go a few times and recaught him each time. I'd say the mouse had a really bad day... I've never noticed a cat with eyes this color before.

Despite London being a large metropolis, there are a plethora of green and outdoor spaces which can be utilised to help you with weight loss. Using so-called 'Boris bikes' as a form of transportation, taking advantage of one of the many residential parks, or accessing one the outdoor pools or lidos can be a productive and more enjoyable way of getting in shape than the confines of a gym.
If you are considering this plan, reach out to your local Medi Weightloss provider and ask specific questions about cost and insurance before you invest. You might also want to ask to see a sample meal plan to see if it is something that you feel you can follow. In addition, you can speak with your healthcare provider to get recommendations and suggestions. The more questions you ask, the more likely you will be to find a program that fits your needs.
When a supermodel, socialite or Hollywood superstar needs to lose weight and shape up fast, who do they turn to? Every celebrity's little black book contains the names of discreet body gurus who are the secret behind those incredible, super-speedy fat-to-fit miracles. Here, we reveal the names and the secrets of the UK's top get-skinny specialists...
Eating healthily will become something you want to do instead of a sacrifice – by learning to value yourself and your body at a whole new level you will want to make sure that you are filling it with high quality fuel. You'll discover how to balance treats and indulgences with a much healthier overall diet that helps to improve and maintain your health and energy levels without depriving you of all of the foods you love.
You've most likely already tried just about every diet out there, and some! You've likely joined a gym (or several over the years), maybe had a personal trainer, tried a bunch of slimming clubs, meal replacement programmes, and maybe some other weird and wonderful ways to lose weight, but it's battle you're still fighting and probably feel like you're never going to win… Despair not, we can help!
If you are interested in using Medi Weightloss to slim down, you should live near one of the company's clinics. After an initial meeting with a doctor, dieters usually agree to weekly in-person meetings for the duration of the weight loss process. This weekly check-in is a cornerstone of the program, so proximity is essential. Clinics are located in 25 states and in most major US cities.
I was fed up with being tired, living an unhealthy lifestyle and struggling to deal with the everyday stresses that life brings us. Then I found Monica, a qualified nutritionist and lifestyle guru, who helped me change my whole way of thinking about my lifestyle. Monica encouraged and supported me throughout my journey, in fact she walked the journey with me. Her insight into my condition was simply amazing. Her knowledge and understanding of the direction I needed to take was exceptional. In five months I feel so much better, I have got my zest for life back and I have the added bonus of losing an amazing amount of weight in a healthy way, all of which wouldn't have been possible without Monica's support and help. Monica is simply superb and would I recommend her to someone else – absolutely in a heartbeat.

The government of Choiseul province in Solomon Islands is playing down calls for the region's secession.
A spokesman for the Batava community in north-west Choiseul, William Kutini, claims to have 2-hundred signatures on a petition, backing his call for talks on independence.
Mr Kutini is also asking for compensation for economic damage caused by the conflict on Bougainville, to the north.
Some people on Choiseul harboured Bougainville rebels, and fled into the bush for a year when Papua New Guinea soldiers arrived to chase their enemies out.
The acting premier of Choiseul, Franklin Papabatu, represents the Batava ward in the provincial assembly... and he denies there's any such moves.
"Mr Kutini only represents a small group of people in Batava area, not the whole Choiseul. But the call he has made is for Choiseul people to secede from the country. That is not representative to the people of Choiseul."
Mr Papabatu isn't aware of anyone standing in this month's Choiseul provincial elections on an independence platform.

A new clinical trial has started to cure Parkinson's disease with stem cells.
This procedure sounds like straight out of science fiction. Medical researchers at Australia's Royal Melbourne Hospital (RMH) have injected stem cells into the brain of a Parkinson's patient.
The stem cells are derived from unfertilized eggs and manufactured in the lab by a biotech company in California. The stem cells have been injected into the patient's brain through two 15mm holes in the skull and the doctors targeted 14 sites on the brain and each injection had to be spaced four minutes apart.
The whole stem cell Parkinson's study will include 12 patients with moderate to severe Parkinson's. Lead researcher, RMH Neurologist, Dr Andrew Evans, said a 64-year old Victorian man was the first patient to receive the neural stem cells in a delicate operation performed by RMH Neurosurgeon, Mr Girish Nair, that lasted more than five hours.
"The first patient's operation was a success, however we won't know for 12 months the effects of the stem cell implants and if we are on the verge of a new treatment for Parkinson's," Dr Evans said.
"The first phase is critical for us to understand the right amount of neural stem cells required to be injected into the brain. The three different doses range from 30,000,000 to 70,000,000 neural cells and of those, only a very small percentage will become dopamine. Dopamine is a hormone that transmits information between brain cells and is one of the most critical transmitters in the brain that is lost with Parkinson's disease," Dr. Evans explains the challenges of the new stem cell cure.
The transplant of stem cells in the remaining 11 patients will finish in 2017 with the results expected in 2019.

An introduction to Ann Radcliffe
- Article written by: Dale Townshend
- Themes: The Gothic, The novel 1780–1832
- Published: 15 May 2014
The 'Shakspeare [sic] of Romance Writers; 'the mighty magician of THE MYSTERIES OF UDOLPHO'; 'the first poetess of romantic fiction'; 'a genius of no common stamp'; 'the great enchantress of that generation'; 'mother Radcliff [sic]': Nathan Drake, T J Mathias, Walter Scott, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Thomas De Quincey and John Keats respectively, together with countless other essayists, reviewers and critics of the Romantic period in Britain, praised the writing of the Gothic romancer, poet and travel-writer Ann Ward Radcliffe (1764–1823) in the most superlative terms imaginable. Although Radcliffe wrote poetry, a travelogue and three other novels, her literary reputation, today, rests largely on the three Gothic romances that she published during the turbulent, post-French Revolutionary decade of 1790s: The Romance of the Forest, Interspersed with Some Pieces of Poetry in 1791; The Mysteries of Udolpho: A Romance; Interspersed with Some Pieces of Poetry in 1794; and The Italian: or, The Confessional of the Black Penitents in late 1796 or early 1797.

Founder of a class or school
Even as critics and reviewers in the 1790s castigated Gothic fiction as the 'trash of the circulating libraries' – that is, as a cheap and tawdry form of popular entertainment that, in its formulaic and highly repetitive nature, fell foul of the emphasis that emergent Romantic aesthetics placed upon the category of 'original genius' – Radcliffe was consistently singled out an exception, as the one writer who was deservedly exempt from the general condemnation of Gothic writing in Romantic-period culture. Although Horace Walpole, while galvanising tendencies that had been present in British culture for at least two centuries before, had ostensibly 'invented' the Gothic literary mode in The Castle of Otranto in late 1764, it was to Radcliffe that most late 18th- and early 19th-century critics and literary historians looked as the perfector of the form, as the writer in whose works the Gothic mode in its most acceptable and pleasing of forms came most fully into being. As Walter Scott put it in 1824,
Mrs Radcliffe, as an author, has the most decided claim to take her place among the favoured few, who have been distinguished as the founders of a class, or school. She led the way in a peculiar style of composition, affecting powerfully the mind of the reader, which has since been attempted by many, but in which no one has attained or approached the excellencies of the original inventor ... .
As Scott's assessment suggests, it was particularly Radcliffe's deft manipulation of the experience of terror and wonder that, together with her superlative skills in the rendition of visual, almost pictorial natural landscapes, most pleased her early readers. Consequently, Radcliffe became the most highly paid professional writer of the 1790s: in an age in which the average amount earned by an author upon receipt of a manuscript was £10, her publishers, G G and J Robinson bought the copyright for The Mysteries of Udolpho for £500, while The Italian garnered from Cadell and Davies a staggering £800. She was also the most emulated, copied and plagiarised author of the period: visual tableaux taken directly from her highly descriptive prose-works provided the subject-matter for several Romantic painters; the plots of her lengthy novels were tirelessly reworked as short, often highly illustrated chapbooks with attention-grabbing titles such as The Southern Tower: or, Conjugal Sacrifice and Retribution (c. 1805) and The Midnight Assassin: Or, Confession of the Monk Rinaldi (c. 1802); and her suspense-filled fictions inspired several dramatic appropriations and retellings on London's Gothic stage, including James Boaden's Fontainville Forest (1794) and The Italian Monk (1797), Henry Siddons's The Sicilian Romance: Or, the Apparition of the Cliffs (1794), Miles Peter Andrews's The Mysteries of the Castle (1794) and George Manners's Edgar: Or, Caledonian Feuds (1806).

Though the work of Radcliffe fell into relative obscurity from the mid-Victorian period onwards, she was resurrected as somewhat of a literary-historical 'curiosity' with the rise of Gothic scholarship in the early decades of the 20th century. Indeed, it was really only with the reawakened interest in the Gothic aesthetic initiated by the publication of David Punter's The Literature of Terror in 1980 that Radcliffe and those of her school came to be regarded as a serious and legitimate object of academic enquiry. This was a moment that coincided with the interrogation of the masculine biases underpinning canonical conceptualisations of 'Romanticism' – William Blake; William Wordsworth; Samuel Taylor Coleridge; Percy Bysshe Shelley; John Keats; Lord Byron – that was spearheaded by Anglo-American feminist literary critics in the 1970s and 1980s. In seeking to interrogate further the cultural and academic privileging of 'High' Romantic poetry over the 'popular' horrors and terrors of the Gothic romance, more recent critical work on Radcliffe has sought to argue for the writer's central place within literary culture of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, noting her influence on, and points of aesthetic similarity with, such seminal Romantic writers as Wordsworth, Coleridge, Byron, Walter Scott and Jane Austen.
Current scholarship within the fields of Gothic and Romantic studies tends to conceptualise and respond to the work of Radcliffe according to the following two concerns: the distinctions horror and terror, and the so-called 'Female Gothic'.
Burke's A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful
Edmund Burke's definitions of beauty, terror and the sublime was central to the development of Ann Radcliffe's Gothic novels.View images from this item (10)
Horror and terror
Based upon the influential distinction between horror and terror that the writer drew in her posthumously published essay 'On the Supernatural in Poetry' (1826) – 'terror and horror are so far opposite', her speaker declares, 'that the first expands the soul, and awakens the faculties to a high degree of life; the other contracts, freezes, and nearly annihilates them' – Radcliffe herself has come to epitomise the writing of 'terror' in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, despite the fact that her fiction seems to use the two terms interchangeably. For, unlike the modes of 'horror' demonstrated by the ghastly, lurid excesses of a fiction such as Matthew Lewis's The Monk: A Romance (1796), Radcliffean narratives, taking their cue from Edmund Burke's A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful (1757), are characterised by an emphasis upon psychological suspense over bodily gore, by an omnipresent sense of mystery and obscurity over the certainties of fast-paced action, and by mere hints and suggestions of ghostly activity over fully realised manifestations of the supernatural. In a fiction such as The Mysteries of Udolpho, for instance, Radcliffe, though not for the first time in her career, famously gives expression to her distinctive narrative technique of the 'explained supernatural', according to which several plot-based occurrences that momentarily seem, for both reader and heroine alike, to be of preternatural, other-worldly causes are eventually revealed to have rational, material origins. In Lewis's The Monk, by contrast, supernatural beings and events, including the figure of the Bleeding Nun and even the eventual appearance of the Devil, are left very much in place at the narrative's end. Concretising these and other differences between sensation and sensibility, horror and terror, Radcliffe would pen what was, in part, her own response to the extravagances of Lewis's text in The Italian, the last novel that she published during her lifetime. Although Radcliffe's use of the 'explained supernatural' was almost uniformly met with disapproval by several early critics – many contemporary readers, including Scott, felt disappointed, gulled and altogether cheated by Radcliffe's tendency to dispense with spectral, ghostly terrors through the process of rational explanation – it nonetheless proved to be extremely influential among Gothic writers of the day, not least of all in Austen's playful Gothic parody, Northanger Abbey (1818). Ever sensitive to reviews of her work, Radcliffe abandoned the technique of the explained supernatural in favour of a 'real' ghost in her final novel, the posthumously published Gaston de Blondeville (1826).

Male and Female Gothic
With the rise of Anglo-American feminist criticism in the 1970s, these distinctions between terror and horror, the explained supernatural and the unexplained supernatural, and Radcliffe and Lewis would be critically superimposed upon the differences between 'female' and 'male' Gothic respectively. Ellen Moers's influential coining of the category of the 'Female Gothic' in her landmark study Literary Women in 1976 served to place the fictions of Radcliffe, alongside Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus (1818; 1831), at the centre of this important, retrospectively named and constructed sense of literary tradition. When conceptualised according to this category, Radcliffe's fictions, particularly A Sicilian Romance, The Romance of the Forest and The Mysteries of Udolpho, are said to epitomise the ways in which women writers, from the 18th century onwards, have made recourse to the techniques and conventions of the Gothic mode in order to explore and articulate, often to highly politicised ends, the conditions and experiences of women within patriarchy. Orphaned early on in the narrative, and subject from this moment onwards to numerous forms of objectification, abuse and physical violence in a crumbling and purportedly haunted Gothic pile, the young heroines of Radcliffe's fictions give powerful articulation through the conventions of the Gothic to what Mary Wollstonecraft would figure in the subtitle to her own uncompleted Gothic fiction, Maria, as 'The Wrongs of Woman' (1798). In this way of thinking, the Gothic castle, abbey or recess – those Wollstonecraftian 'Abodes of horror' that, from The Castle of Otranto, onwards, have featured strongly in the Gothic imagination – becomes a powerful metaphor for women's 'incarceration', both domestic and otherwise, within the institutions of patriarchy, and the aggression that the vulnerable heroine suffers at the hands of a range of malevolent male villains a codified protest on the female writer's behalf against the sufferings of women engendered by marriage, maternity and even the fact of female embodiment itself. Perceived as a kind of 'mother' to this mode, then, Radcliffe stands at the origin of a feminist literary consciousness that not only influenced radical feminist writers such as Wollstonecraft in the 1790s, but also the fictions of writers such as Mary Shelley, Charlotte and Emily Brontë and Charlotte Perkins Gilman during the 19th century, the work of Shirley Jackson and Daphne du Maurier in the 20th century, as well the fictions of modern and contemporary North American and British writers such as Angela Carter, Ann-Marie Macdonald and Sarah Waters.
The Mysteries of Udolpho
The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) by Ann Radcliffe was one of the most popular and influential Gothic novels of the late 18th century.View images from this item (13)

Perceptions of Ann Radcliffe today
Mistress of the Gothic mode, a crucial voice in early feminist consciousness and a writer of Gothic terror par excellence: Radcliffe and her works deservedly occupy a central place within scholarly understandings of late 18th- and early 19th-century Gothic and Romantic writing. To this day, her oeuvre continues to inspire and engage both literary critics and readers alike. Of the considerable attention that Radcliffe is currently receiving from academic critics across the world, there are a number of topics that seem particularly rich for further investigation: the politics of this notoriously elusive writer (within the furore of British politics of the 1790s, was she the conservative that several critics took her to be, or did her fictions mask a more subversive political intent?); the ecological imperative behind her writings (to what extent was Radcliffe part of a broader Romantic preoccupation with the preservation of the natural environment?); the cultural meanings informing her carefully studied use of Gothic architecture; the translation and reception of Radcliffe's fictions in Europe, particularly Spain, Italy and France; her engagement with contemporary scientific thought; and her relationship with the travel writing and poetry of more canonical forms of British Romanticism. Regardless of the directions in which these and other scholarly interests might develop in future years, one fact remains indisputable: the writings of Radcliffe have terrified, delighted and enchanted her readers for over 200 years.

A garden-park bench. Something that I've dreamed to have and prayed to find for many, many years. Today that dream came true.
Much to my great gratification or satisfaction, which ever you prefer, I kept asking members of my family to guess how much it was. One particular person threw out the amount of $100. Oy! I can't remember I last saw that amount of money! :) If I were to ask all of you ladies to guess, we might be here all day, so I'll tell you:
This morning I was out doing errands and when I was finished and heading home, a road was closed and I had to take m.a.n.y. odd twists and turns just to get back onto the main road. One of the turns was into a neighborhood where shortly after making a right, I saw this park bench sitting close to the sidewalk with a man standing in front, taping a remnant cardboard piece to it with the letters F-R-E-E.
My heart lept, and my car seemed to automatically gear toward the curb. I hopped out and inquired after the older gentleman, "Is this really free?" Indeed it was, much to my great ecstasy. Yes, there are a couple screws missing, and it probably needs a good coat of paint, but overall it is just lovely.
And it seems to have adapted itself quite nicely among the daisies, pansies, forget-me-nots, evening primroses, and delphiniums. No more indoor reading for me! :)

Costume excludes: Shoes.
Sizes for this costume are:
Excellent outfit, my 7 year old loves it. True to size and fast delivery. Other reviews highlighted the hat needed pulping up but I found it OK, needed re shaping but that's only due to packaging.
Quality costume as described quick delivery. Size 7 - 9 fitted my big boned 4 year old with slight adjustment.
Excellent service. The product arrived quickly and the costume is excellent. Will use Jokers Masquerade again.
Smashing outfit, good quality and size. He looked amazing in it.
This costume looks just like the picture. It is bright and colourful. The down side is the fabric. The jacket is very stiff and looks very creased. I'm not sure it is something I can iron. The tie is very big and not adjustable so I will have to alter it and unfortunately the hat is soft fabric and again creased and out of shape. I think it will need some padding in to hold its shape when worn.
Fabulous. Looked great and fit well. I ordered large for my 10 year old son. Good value.

Australia, popularly known as the Land of Oz has a special visa pathway called the General Skilled Migration Scheme through which an eligible skilled professional can apply for Australian permanent residency. This scheme features a range of PR visas, which a professional can choose from depending upon his category of work or his purpose of immigration. The subclass 189, subclass 190, subclass 489, subclass 476 visas come under this category.
Benefits of GSM visa programs
Any visa chosen from the General Migration Scheme of Australia has the following benefits:
- Fair visa system– wherein applications are considered based on their ability to score points
- Quick process- permanent resident visas of the GSM scheme involve a processing time of 6-8 months
- Family migration– eligible applicants are allowed to incorporate their spouse and dependent kids in the applicant. Moreover, adding eligible spouse factors can help increase points.

Quick application for quicker success
Since Australia PR visa operates on a points-based system, is there any way to get a visa faster- this is a question asked by many aspirants aiming for Australia immigration. Certainly, migrating to Australia is a points-based visa and can result in a faster process if an applicant is able to boost his points time to time. The best ways to boost points and have a quicker PR in hand are:
- Apply as the occupations quota opens (recent opening took place in July)
- Apply when the rules are most flexible and favourable (2017 has been reported to be best year)
- Incorporate eligible spouse in application and enhance points
- Simultaneously search for job and claim additional score on a valid job offer
- Strive for State nomination since it increases points and preference for employment
A professional assistance is always the first step to stay guided in the immigration process. Consult our Australia visa consultants in Chennai to know which of the GSM programs best suit your profile and your quickest chances to settle in Australia.

Congratulations for your book Arpit, how did the idea of writing a book creep in your mind?
Thank You. The idea did strike me in one of my conversation with a friend. One fine day he read some stuff that I wrote and was amazed to see that. He said, "There are some things serious and good enough in your life, you should create a story based on that." I gave it a casual try and then I started enjoying it. I never stopped after that.
How long did you take to write the story?
It took me 2 and a half long years to write it down. Not because there was much of research work in that but because I've always been one lazy soul.
What is the story behind the different kind of title of your book? (Do mention about the reason behind 'Chockolate' instead of 'chocolate')
Reason is very upfront, I've kept it intentionally. Because it sounds jarring with an extra "K" and that's what the story is also about. It's not a cheesy love story and I wanted to keep the same feel with TITLE of Novel. Happy to know that readers are finding it justified reason and been able to relate to it as well.
How has your experience been with your publishers? What was the time span of the book having been written and published?
My experience with the publisher has been great till now and I look forward for stronger association with them in coming time as well. It took me 2 and half years to complete it and a year long wait to see it published.
Is this story inspired from actual incidents of your life or is it fiction altogether?
I've shared good amount of my real life experience and incidents in the novel. So, it's definitely based on it. But it's work of fiction as well. Because you need to add good amount of fiction as well to make it an amazing script.
The most captivating thing about a book is its cover page and your book seems to top on it. What do you feel?
Quite true. I am in love with cover page since the day I saw it. I sincerely thank Pinaki De(My cover designer) for designing such a beautiful cover which complements the story well. Though, many people are of opinion that it's Arpit Vageria in the cover image I've kept the answer open.J
Tell us something about your book.
My book's story goes around three different cities. Indore, Pune and Mumbai. Arnab is male protagonist and Jahnvi is female protagonist. Story revolves around their changing values of relationship with changing cities.
Story shows different stages in a relationship.- Smooth.Dark.Sinful.
Yes, As I said- Story is developed in three different cities. Indore, Pune and Mumbai. It shows the Smooth, Dark and sinful phase of story in respective cities.
What does Arpit do when he is not writing?
I do a lot of music, travelling, reading, photography and sports when not writing.
Do you plan to write more?
Yes, I got excellent response on my debut novel till now. So I would definitely love to write much more stories and address different topics and issues in my upcoming stories. Infact, i've already started working on my second.
What according to you is the best field for a writer to earn capital out of his creativity?
Well, Writing doesn't pay you good in India as it does outside. Still, I think if you want to make your passion of writing a career, one should try and get into screenplay writing too along with writing a novel. It gives multiple and better opportunity.
Who is your favourite author and what are your favourite literary works?
It's difficult to name one, I love reading stories of different genres. But I like Nicolas Sparks, Mohsin Hamid and Betty Mahmoody the most.
My favorites are-
1). Not without my daughter- Betty Mahmoody
2). The Secret- Rhonda Byrne
3). The last song- Nicholas sparks
4). A Walk to remember- Nicholas Sparks
1). Not without my daughter- Betty Mahmoody

4). A Walk to remember- Nicholas Sparks
5) Moth Smoke- Mohsin hamid
Comment on the present scenario of Indian literary circle.
Well, I am too young to comment on it. Still, I think there are many good storytellers coming up and trying to get themselves published, Worst part- In a hurry to see themselves published, many of them aren't been able to do justice to story, concept and language.
Hope to see much better Indian story, Authors in future.
Best Wishes!
Thank you Arpit, it was great chatting with you. All the very best for your future endeavours.

When last we saw Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen), the cunning character known to many as Littlefinger on "Game of Thrones," he was planning to sow discord between the recently reunited Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington).
That scheme may be just one of several Baelish contrives in Season 7 of the epic fantasy, which premieres tonight at 9 on HBO. It's all part of his determined quest to seize the Iron Throne of Westeros, but is this complicated character driven by a lust for power or a desire for revenge against those who have wronged him?
Probably neither, said Baelish's real-life alter ego.
"I don't think it's anything really nihilistic," Gillen said. "It isn't a quest for power and 'I want to own and rule everything.' As much as anything, it's about really enjoying playing around with people and having his way with them, watching his plans unfold. He also likes the danger of it, I think. It's about playing the game and loving it, being addicted to that, like a compulsion."
It's also driven by a determination never to be humiliated again like he was as a teenager, when the older Brandon Stark gravely wounded Baelish in a duel over Catelyn Stark, Sansa's late mother.
"Brandon Stark sliced him in that duel, then wouldn't even finish him off, which was the ultimate humiliation," the actor explained. "So he's coming from a place of being humiliated way back when he actually was a sweet boy. It's not so much a revenge on the world he seeks; he just wants to make sure that never happens again."
Gillen also doesn't think Baelish harbors romantic feelings for Sansa.
"Honestly, I think a lot of people have made more of that than is actually the case," he said. "I think both Baelish and Sansa are using each other, and each is aware of what the other is doing, and they both enjoy it. As far as romance goes, it's just not that clear cut. There are shades of that in there, and I don't always want to explain everything. It's whatever you make of it, but that relationship is a bit 'something else.' Of course, Baelish has enjoyed watching Sansa bloom under his tutelage into the player that she is. She's quite a strong, clever, manipulative person herself."
The actor said he would consider reprising his role in a "Games" spinoff, but he thinks it more likely HBO is looking for a prequel.
"Also, there are so many other very interesting characters that we haven't seen much of," he added. "You could do a 'Rosencrantz and Guildenstern (Are Dead)' thing that would be a very interesting way of opening up this world via some lesser players. But it's a rich world, and we know that people love it and have a big appetite for it."

I specialize in mixing, mastering, and producing albums.
I grew up listening to my Dad's Vinyl Albums; and I mean, really listened. He taught me early on to pull up the recliner, centered in between the speakers in the living room, turn the lights off, and to emerse myself in the world created by each album I listened to.
I love teaching Bands how to take their great songs, and mold them into an Album that you want to listen to front to back; not just a few singles, then a bunch of b side songs that nobody cares about. Each song matters.
I don't change bands. I guide them and their songs into a place where their potential can be met. I don't take crap songs and make them hit singles; I take great songs and show you how to embellish on them, or simplify them so that people can hear the heart behind the song. Sometimes this is a quiet ballad, and sometimes the is a heavy metal anthem. It depends on your heart, and what you're trying to say.
If you already have your tracks recorded, and just want someone to mix them, I can do that, as well as master your already mixed tracks.
Tell me about your project and how I can help, through the 'Contact' button above.
Interview with Tenn Pound Hammer Records
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I generally mix singles and albums for artists.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: CLA is an engineering hero of mine, but I definitely have an ear that is all my own; derived from listening to such a wide range of genres growing up, and playing music with so many different bands.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mix through an SSL 4000 Console, using outboard compressor/limiters, select effects, and pre-amps such as 1073's and Manley's in certain cases, if I feel the tracks need a little more punch and warmth.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I start by mixing the song with no effects or outboard gear, to see what the song sounds like in it's natural state, then use gear to help enrich the tracks, and keep the imprint of the band on the final mix. People should hear the band, not me.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring the experience of each song to the listener with a clarity and realism that makes them feel like they are a part of the song.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I am great at finding a place for tracks in the mix, without overcrowding.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work with either Rock/Punk bands, or Americana. In general, I prefer to work with groups that share my love for recording music live, rather than programed tracks.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Track your record with the tough that your final take will end up on the record as is. Don't rely on modern technology to fix bad takes. Nothing sounds better than when your performance is real.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Green Day, or Aerosmith; not only because they are my favorite bands, but because they track live, and appreciate the realism of being able to play the tracks live, without having to rely on backing tracks.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is whatever the band's style is. My job is to enhance what they did in tracking. If the listener hears me over the band, then I'm doing too much in the mixing process.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been mixing live and studio for band since I was 16, so about 12 years now. It started as I started writing my own material, and evolved as bands heard my work, and wanted me to help them.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: U47, 1073, SSL E Channel, Ampex Tape Machine, an old guitar
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Be true to yourself on your record. People can hear when you are trying to be someone you're not, especially if you have a good engineer.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Are you ready to be on record exactly are you are?
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: People think that it's the engineers job to make the artist sound amazing. It's our job to capture and showcase what the artist is.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: How long will it take you to finish? Depends on how complex your tracks are.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love music, and seeing people express themselves through it.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You will sound more like yourself than you do live.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Yes. I use whatever is at my disposal to make the artist sound like the listener is not only an audience member, but a part of the band. I usually start analog, because that's where all the realism is, and use digital as need be.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: New to this community, so not yet.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Working on starting my own record label, which end of the day, means I'll be doing what I love as a full time job.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I played drums for a group, and recorded a full length record with this band. After years of writing, demo's and touring, I feel this gave me the greatest insight into how to make a band on record the best they can possibly be.
