Full-sized images and segmentations
Scene parsing data and part segmentation data derived from ADE20K dataset could be download from MIT Scene Parsing Benchmark.
All images are fully annotated with objects and, many of the images have parts too.
Fully annotated with objects and parts
Images and annotations:
Each folder contains images separated by scene category (same scene categories than the Places Database). For each image, the object and part segmentations are stored in two different png files. All object and part instances are annotated sparately.
For each image there are the following files:
The following example has two part levels. The first segmentation shows the object masks. The second segmentation corresponds to object parts (body parts, mug parts, table parts, ...). The third segmentation shows parts of the heads (eyes, mouth, nose, ...):
Matlab file: index_ade20k_2015.mat
Matlab tools:
To load a segmentation use loadAde20K.m which will return the segmentation masks for objects and its parts:
[Om, Oi, Pm, Pi, objects, parts] = loadAde20K(filename)
Segmentation masks:
Om = [n * m]: object class mask. Each pixel in the mask, Om(i,j)=c, contains the object class index: objectnames{Om(i,j)} gives the object name at location (i,j). Om(i,j)=0 for unlabeled pixels.
Oi = [n * m]: object instance mask. Each distinct object (even if they belong to the same class) has a different index.
Pm = [n * m * Nlevels]: part class mask. Each pixel in the mask, Pm(i,j,n)=c, contains the part class index: objectnames{Pm(i,j,n)} gives the part name at location (i,j) and level=n.
Pi = [n * m * Nlevels]: part instance mask.
Objects properties:
Part properties:
Check demo.m to see examples of how to extract segments and parts, and how to index the object names.
New   You can search for images using the ADE20K Interactive browser. Type an object or scene name to display images showing such category.
The annotated images cover the scene categories from the SUN and Places database. Here there are some examples showing the images, object segmentations, and parts segmentations:
You can browse the rest of the images here: ADE20K browser.
The next visualization provides the list of objects and parts and the number of annotated instances. The tree only shows objects with more than 250 annotated instances and parts with more than 10 annotated instances.
Some classes can be both objects and parts. For instance, a "door" can be an object (in an indoor picture), or a part (when it is the "door" of a "car"). Some objects are always parts (e.g., a "leg", a "hand", ...), although, in some cases they can appear detached of the whole (e.g., a car "wheel" inside a garage), and some object are never parts (e.g., a "person", a "truck", ...). The same name class (e.g., "door") can correspond to several visual categories depending on which object it is a part of. For instance a car door is visually different from a cabinet door or a building door. However they share similar affordances. The value proportionClassIsPart(c) can be used to decide if a class behaves mostly as an object or as a part. When an object is not part of another object its segmentation mask will appear inside *_seg.png. If the class behaves as a part, then the segmentation mask will appear inside *_seg_parts.png. Correctly detecting an object requires classifying if the object is behaving as an independent object or if it is a part of another object.
Use the validation set to evaluate your algorithm. You can use the evaluation package for the scene parsing challenge.
In the training set:
In the test set:
To analyze the annotation consistency we took a subset of 64 randomly chosen images from the validation set, and asked our annotator to annotate them again (there is a time difference of six months). 20 of those images were also annotated by two external annotators. One expects that there will be some differences between two annotations, even when the task is done by the same person. On average, 82% of the pixels got the same label. The following figure shows a picture and two segmentations done by the same annotator:
The set of 64 images annotated several times are available here: ADE20K_2017_05_30_consistency.zip

the best driving instructors alfreton
If you need a driving school to assist you pass your driving examination then you need to read this post by the Driving School finder.
Below's something parents don't understand: Lots of vehicle driver's education and learning systems perform very little to keep your teen risk-free when traveling.
And the authorities claims this doesn't believe motorist's education and learning works at all at making adolescents much better drivers.
" Regardless of wide-spread beauty from vehicle driver education, medical assessments signify that it carries out not generate safer chauffeurs," the National Highway Visitor traffic Safety and security Administration claimed in a 2009 report. "Although it could be actually 'good sense' to assume that vehicle driver education and learning is the favored technique to know effective ways to own, the thought that a typical motorist learning course could by itself produce more secure vehicle drivers is optimistic."
Offered how quick and easy it is actually to pass a driving exam in the U.S., many chauffeur's education and learning plans are nothing more than an essential session in how to manage an automobile.
One of the most significant struggles teen protection supporters have is chauffeur education: Driving universities are actually frequently managed through smaller businessmen as well as are freely moderated. Community colleges have actually usually back-pedaled vehicle driver education and learning. As well as the funding that could possibly improve courses just isn't there, mostly due to the fact that there is merely erratic documentation that motorist's ed works.
That is actually a chicken-and-egg kind of trouble that will maintain duplicating until lawmakers determine that is actually opportunity to address the issue and assert conditions enhance driver education to where this is confirmed beneficial as well as worth sustaining with tax dollars.
NHTSA has lately introduced criteria that could help conditions improve vehicle driver's education, pointing out specifically what should be actually taught as well as focused on. However they are actually not mandatory rules, as well as that could possibly take years for those requirements to flow down from the federal government to states.
Until then, moms and dads should effective ways to find a really good school, recognize just what skill-sets their little one will and also won't find out in driver's ed, as well as make up the difference by themselves.
Not all driving education is bad. Some are going to instruct your kids just how to obtain out from a skid, and also where to put their eyes in a panic situation, while others are going to boast concerning just how many from their students have actually passed the condition chauffeur's test (which is horrendous indication from driving skill).
" Those courses typically aren't doing along with they may be given that they are actually so concentrated on passing the driving examination, out giving teenagers the skills they need to keep all of them secure," mentions Troy Costales, bad habit chairman of the Guv's Freeway Safety and security Affiliation as well as the head of the Oregon motorway safety workplace.
The challenge with driving institutions
Driving schools make it appealing for moms and dads certainly not to question the circumstances: They often choose kids up straight off university and drop all of them off in the house. They commonly own youngsters via the very same path they'll tackle the driving test, making certain their trainees do not neglect. Any individual which has spent a morning surviving the trouble of the Department from Motor Cars (DMV) does not desire to have to go through that much more than once.
" You will certainly not feel the number of parents which don't wish to pertain to our driving school due to the fact that our company won't pick kids up in the house," mentions Debbie Prudhomme, manager of Qualifying Tires Motorist Learning in Minnesota as well as mind of the Driving Schools Association of the Americas. "Parents simply don't recognize."
There is a number from high quality offered in private driving universities, Prudhomme states. And also larger doesn't necessarily indicate better: Several of the smaller universities center can supply much better instruction than bigger schools, which may be actually a lot more concentrated on income. Prudhomme says the most ideal universities make use of nationally-recognized text manuals, focusing much of their electricity on classroom-based direction. They use guidelines kids can easily carry house to their parents to show exactly what skills the pupil is mastering and which have to be improved. And also they do not waste priceless direction opportunity driving coming from residence to property, grabbing pupils in their driveways.
Tim Reeter of Glen Carbon dioxide, Ill., was primarily happy along with the driving school his 15-year-old boy Cole joined. But he states there are still significant voids in his skill amount:
" They do not teach youngsters how to brake, to ensure that is actually been something he is actually still finding out," Reeter pointed out. "When he is actually taking off, I need to advise him he does not need to go coming from absolutely no to the speed limitation immediately."

Life AG (After Gaviscon) was moving along nicely. For several weeks we were in a noticeably nicer place. My washing piles had reduced drastically and going out of the house was no longer the MI5 style mission that it had been. She was happier, we were happier. Gaviscon was my saviour and I had a sniff of life with a non refluxer. But like any good villain… just when we were lulled into that false sense of security the Reflux Demon reared its ugly head again.
And this time it meant business!
This time it came in the form of gut-wrenching screams.
Gastritus? Acid? Pain!
Just lying her flat brought out the gut-wretching gurgle and pained cry. Reflux really was against us this time.
The usual easy bedtimes became a screamathon and survival of the strongest wills. I couldn't leave her to cry. I began singing my own lullabies with a random string of words… (To the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
"You're as sleepy as can be…
Go to sleep, for your Mummy.
Rest your eyes and be so kind…
Or i'm gonna lose my mind."
"Daddy thinks I'm going mad…
When you cry it makes me sad.
Go to sleep oh child of mine…
Mummy wants a glass of wine."
One night she and Reflux ganged up on us and launched an attack of epic proportions. I'm not sure who won. I had won the afternoon Nap Battle. She had battled against it for 1 hour 10 minutes whilst I pushed her around the retail park. We'd got to the point where I couldn't stand being at home as the crying grated on me, and there was slightly more chance that she'd sleep while out and about. She finally gave in and I enjoyed a solitary 45 minutes in Costa with my phone.
A hot coffee to celebrate
This got me to thinking, how did mums cope without smartphones? It is an actual life line. Facebook, WhatApp, Google, my camera… how would I survive Motherhood without them? I started blogging when the baby was 10 weeks old and it has been like therapy. The virtual friends that I have made through blogging have saved me many times. If you'd like to check out my other blog The Little Book of Sick click here www.lou15a.wordpress.com (this is a private blog and not associated with Living with Refux.)
How did we cope before the digital revolution? My phone has rescued me during night feeds, bouts of insomnia and when I'm about to lose the plot. I can always rely on someone to write something supportive. Even just liking my status or photos makes me feel less alone during the difficult times. Imagine having to wait a week for a film (of only 24 photos may I add!) to be processed!
So… back to the screamathon night. 6.45pm and she was exhausted. The other half was on duty and oblivious to the 'tired signs' I was in the kitchen cleaning (yes, I do clean from time to time) and could hear the familiar tired whimper. I asked him to get her changed (he has to be asked as cannot think for himself.) But we missed the window. That all crucial slot. The getting her to sleep before she realises how bloody knackered she actually is. We missed it. And we suffered the consequences.
She screamed and screamed and screamed.
Big bro declared I need to sing her my special bible song (I think he meant my lullaby) But she was having none of it. On my shoulder she would quieten down as I calmly hummed and sung my ridiculous words to her, willing her to go to sleep through my calm (not stressy as she can sense it) voice, bouncing in the chair in a dimly lit room with star projector on the ceiling.
Forget it.
That kid was NOT going to sleep no matter how many times I sang bleeding Twinkle Twinkle go to bloody sleep to her.
Getting stressed out doesn't help!
Then I tried leaving her. It's not what I like doing but I was an hour in and getting to my whit's end. My shoulder was killing me. I could hear Daddy reading, 'James and the Giant Peach' to the boy and wished we could swap places. No amount of rocking, walking, bouncing or singing was helping so I tried putting her down.
I left her.
I lay on my bed and tried to distract myself with my phone.
As I listened to the cries, I thought what an effective torture technique this would be. Make someone listen continually to a crying baby… they would crack in no time. Motherhood is equivalent to a torture chamber… sleep deprivation and crying two unequivocal torture techniques… or day-to-day life so it may seem.
I managed to leave her for an hour… it was in fact about 2 minutes but it felt like an hour. I went back in. She cried EVEN MORE when she saw me. Hmmm… was this little one playing me? I picked her up. She sobbed and sobbed and sobbed. I felt so bad for her. I would have done anything to console her. Why couldn't I console her? What was I doing wrong?
And then she heaved.
Sick everywhere. Her freshly washed sleeping bag (and my new comfy PJs) were once again covered in sick. I didn't think she was going to stop. I started to panic in case she choked. I felt so guilty. It was my fault for leaving her. If I hadn't left her she wouldn't have cried for so long and wouldn't have been sick. I was a terrible Mother.
And then suddenly she stopped crying, stopped being sick, looked at me and smiled. Her face was blotchy and almost purple. But she smiled.
That smile made everything better. The last hour washed away. I put her on the mat to change her and she giggled. That oh-so-cute giggle when I use the tickle fingers and she almost belly laughs. That is what gets me through the tough times.
In the bath she went. Happy and content.
Until I tried to put her down again. Off she went again.
Back to square one.
This time thankfully Daddy took over. I was at the end of my tether and couldn't face any more. Daddy took her downstairs. She was content in her chair but fought sleep for 40 minutes more. Refused her bottle and just stared him out. 40 minutes later he tried to feed her again. In a final moment of attack she took the bottle, whimpered and then passed out.
She was asleep. It was 9.30pm. We both passed out in bed soon after.
Parenthood. Reflux. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
This carried on… day and night. The crying was getting worse and it was really beginning to get to me. Slowly but surely each time she cried I crept closer to the brink. A gorgeous smile and giggle brought me back and all seemed fine. But each time I tipped a little closer.
One Sunday she pushed me over the edge. Over I went. So far over the brink that the brink was a mere spot in the distance. Having always been nicknamed Tiny Tears it's no surprise that I cry from time to time. But this was a first for me.
My breakdown happened ironically whilst ordering a Happy Meal at the Drive-thru. At the microphone order point I struggled to get my words out, relieved that I didn't have to face a human. I wiped my face, pushed the tears back and rolled on to window number two (even though the first one isn't a window any more) This was much more difficult as I had to pay, make slight eye contact and try to maintain my composure.
A not so Happy Meal
In between windows two and three it was all too much. I'd listened to her cry for one and a half hours solid. I'd driven round for hours trying to console her. I was visiting my elderly Grandma when the 'cryathon' occurred and so was riddled with guilt that Great Grandma hadn't got to hold her as she wouldn't stop crying. Daddy had been fishing and seemed oblivious to my stresses. Trying to 'pretend' that everything was okay and chit-chatting to the seven-year old about which Roald Dahl book he hoped to get in his Happy Meal is what got me passed window number two. Sadly I didn't make it to number three.
I could no longer hold it in. I was trying to put on a brave face. But enough was enough. I put my head in my hands leaned on the steering wheel and sobbed. Sobbed like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders. Big Bro reassuringly stroked my shoulder from behind and told me that he loved me and that he would look after me.
This made me cry more.
As the car in front rolled away from window three, I tried to pull myself together. God knows what they must have thought when they saw the state of me when I collected the ironic 'Happy Meal'. I exited the Drive-thru but broke down again and finally gave in and swapped seats. I couldn't see, let alone drive.
In just over a week we'd gone from a happy, sick free baby to a thrashing, pained, screaming refluxer. We were helpless, hopeless and disheartened. No one seemed to be able to shed any light on our issues. The Doctor was resistant to further medication and suggested we tried a change of milk. Maybe the anti-reflux milk would be our new saviour?
Mwah ha haaaa (evil laugh)
If only we'd known what was in store. Reflux was not going to leave us in a hurry and so joined forces with another demon… Diarrhoea!

Back to basics: a healthier you in just 4 weeks
There will always be a new food trend to follow - especially at this time of year. But dietitian Orla Walsh is here to tell you once and for all: fad diets don't work. Instead, over four weeks, she'll present you with a back to basics nutritional plan which will turn you into a lean, veggie-eating, health machine
The New Year is well underway and now it is time to take control of our eating habits. So over the next four weeks, I will bring you some practical tips to enable you to feel great and maximise your health.
Week 1
We will start with some easy food swaps. Secondly, as life doesn't stop when you're trying to turn over a new leaf, I have some great ideas to make quick and tasty meals that can be thrown together in minutes.
Week 2
Although the focus of healthy eating is on what you eat, the importance of when you eat will be highlighted.
Week 3
For many, evening eating is destroying efforts achieved in daytime. Some simple, practical solutions to this common issue will be provided. After all, food is fuel, not therapy.
Week 4
Perfection isn't necessary, consistency is. It's true, we are what we repeatably do. Therefore help will be given so that healthy rituals can be created, rather than temporary restrictions.
Healthy food swaps
Diets and hardcore regimes are not sustainable. If they were, we'd all be at least half a stone lighter. Truth is, unless you change your less healthy ways for new healthful rituals, you won't stay on the path to leanness for long. To be healthy, you have to do as the healthy folk do. With every healthy habit you form, the statistically more likely you will become leaner.
Simple food swaps add up. A pound of fat is about 3,500kcal. If you want to lose one stone by next year, you need to reduce intake by about 135kcal each day. So it's doable. By choosing foods that have a lower calorie density, you are able to achieve this while eating the same volume of food.
Trade 1: Swap fruit juice for fruit
Scientific evidence indicates that we need to be hitting at least five, if not seven, portions of fruit and vegetables each day. Not only would this help us to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, it would reduce our risk of dying, from anything, by about 40pc. The focus is on whole fruits and vegetables, especially fresh or frozen.
Although fruits are great for you, vegetables have been shown to be more protective. Generally speaking, they also tend to contain less calories per serving, particularly the ones grown beneath the ground.
To put it in perspective, a piece of fruit has a similar amount of calories and carbohydrate as a slice of bread.
It's easy to drink down the juice of four oranges in a glass, but more difficult to eat four oranges. So fill half your trolley with lots of fresh and veg as well as some fruit, and keep it colourful.
Trade 2: Eat more white fish and meat than the darker coloured varieties
When you're trying to reduce body fat, protein becomes very important. Protein helps feed the metabolism, stabilise blood sugars, make us feel full and keep us feeling fuller for longer.
Protein sources are best served natural. To choose the naturally leaner option, the whiter proteins are often leaner.
If you have white fish or white meat more often than red meat, you're on the right track. Try and build in a meat-free day once a week to avail of the health benefits plant proteins such as beans, peas and lentils have to offer you.
Trade 3: Swap low fat flavoured yoghurt for natural yoghurt
Milk and yoghurt are an absorbable and rich source of calcium needed for bone health. Although the guidelines suggest that people choose low-fat products, full-fat natural yoghurt contains about 5g of fat per portion, while low-fat contains about 2g of fat. So by choosing low-fat instead of full-fat yoghurt, you're saving about 3g of fat (4pc of your daily quota). This isn't much. You would save far more by changing cooking methods, using less butter or picking leaner cuts of meat.
Often when fat is removed from a product, sugar is added in to help with flavour. This is not an ideal scenario as most people need to aim to keep their sugar intake below 6 tsp per day. A flavoured yoghurt can have 2-3 tsp of sugar added per pot, therefore providing 33-50pc of your daily quota. Therefore natural yoghurt is the favourable choice.
Trade 4: Swap breakfast cereal for oats
Not only are flavoured yoghurts and fruit juice supplying lots of sugar to families across Ireland (of course 'treat foods' are supplying a heck of a lot more) breakfast cereals can be awfully high in sugar too. Our intake really should be kept below 12 or preferably 6 tsp of sugar per day.
If you're looking at the back of the pack of cereal, you're aiming for the 'of which sugars' to be less than 5g per 100g. It's not uncommon for breakfast cereals to contain 20g of sugar per 100g, which would mean that they are 20pc sugar. In fact, if you stuck to the recommended portion size, you'd be chewing down on 2 tsp of sugar. Be wise about which product you choose.
Or better yet, swap a high-carbohydrate breakfast for a high-protein breakfast. Research strongly shows us that eating protein prevents the secretion of the hunger hormone ghrelin, and stimulates the secretion of the 'feeling full' hormones PYY, GLP-1 and CCK.
Protein at each meal, including breakfast, helps to preserve metabolism-boosting muscle during weight loss, thus losing only excess fat. When this was tested, a high-protein breakfast prevented gains in fat compared with skipping breakfast, whereas eating a typical low protein breakfast.
Trade 5: Swap spread for pesto, hummus, avocado, seed or nut butters
A low-fat diet doesn't equal a low-fat you. Nonetheless we are encouraged to be mindful of how much fat we include in our meals as fat has twice as many calories per gram when compared to protein and carbohydrate.
However some forms of fats are essential to health. For example, unless you eat the specific omega 3 fats that come from oily fish, your body won't have access to them. So do include healthy fats with each meal. Why not swap butter and jam for peanut butter and banana? Or vegetable oil for olive oil, as well as spread for avocado, pesto, hummus or mackerel pate.
Trade 7: Swap some carbohydrate at each meal for vegetables
When it comes to carbohydrates, we need to tailor our intake to our gender and activity levels. To understand this, consider yourself a car. Our tank is our muscles. The further we drive, the faster we go, the larger the tank of the car and the more frequently we take the car out, the more petrol we need.
So if you're muscular, have an active job and train hard, the more carbohydrate you need to consume. When choosing carbohydrates, it's best to go for the natural wholefood option. Put this is simple terms - it grew out of the ground looking similar to how it ends up on your plate. For most people, there should be the same amount of carbohydrate as protein on their dinner plate.

Welcome to St. Charles High School (ICSE)
SAINT CHARLES HIGH SCHOOL is a minority Institution established in 1996 by the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo. It caters to the education primarily of the Catholic community yet from the very beginning the school has been open to all communities irrespective of caste or creed.
The school is managed by the Allard Educational Society. Bangalore registered under the Mysore Societies Registration Act No. 17 of 1960.
The Congregation of the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo was founded in 1684 by Fr. Adrian Bresy. Parish Priest of Wez (Diocese of Tournai, Belgium) to impart Christian education to the poor children of his parish.
I am enthused as I take charge for the second stint to see the development of this institute both in its standard and infrastructure.
We, at St. Charles, while emphasizing on the acquisition of knowledge, understanding, critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, also strive towards the all-round development of our students. We believe that as educators, our prime responsibility is to nurture the mental, physical, spiritual and psychological growth of the students entrusted to us and prepare them for life.

A report from the Special Inspector General for Afghan Reconstruction (SIGAR) reveals that as of Aug. 12, 2016, seven reports of child sexual assault from Afghan security forces were being tracked by the State and Defense Departments. One was found credible, and five are still under review.
Why it matters: Per SIGAR, the DOD has continued funding Afghan forces that were implicated in human rights violations.

Hi folks,
I'm thrilled to officially announce that I will be one of the many authors participating in Greensboro Bound: A Literary Festival. This relatively new literary festival is the love child of many people including readers, writers, bookstore owners and others in the Greensboro area. They eventually formed the Greensboro Literary Organization, a nonprofit organization that helps to manage the festival. This year the festival is May 16-19. I'll be on a few panels including one about speculative fiction, more details soon.

Here are the books that will be featured at Greensboro Bound:
I Just Pitched A Horror Novel To A Press, They Loved It and Now I Have to Write it
Posted January 20, 2019on:
When I originally signed up for Samantha Bryant's 'Finish Your Novel' workshop, I thought I would either be working on a parallel novel set in my Reenu-You universe or the urban fantasy novel I'm co-writing with my sister. The workshop meets for five Saturdays for three hours. Samantha's a great instructor and I've taken her classes before through CCCC's Creative Writing Program. She is most well-known for her superhero menopausal series, which I adore. See my interview with her about Going through The Change, her first book in the series.
Everything changed last weekend when I attended Illogicon, the local sci-fi convention that I've been attending since 2015. I had scheduled a meeting with a publisher that I was hoping to get to know better.
Although I can't release all the details yet, suffice it to say I pitched this publisher a horror novel idea that's been rolling around in my psyche for a few years. They loved it. So much so, they are offering me a contract. I will have a soft deadline of turning in the novel by October and a hard deadline of January 2020.
I literally have only about six pages of notes on my horror novel idea. Getting published is often a mysterious processes defined by things both in and out of one's control. As I have often said, there is no one route to publication. And, although I still have to write the book (no small feat!), the way this opportunity has unfolded has been marked by a wonderful feeling of synchronicity. I also believe that all the other pathways of the writing life that I have been contributing to (e.g. blogging and using social media, building relationships with other writers, and submitting work) has contributed to this moment of serendipity.
I'm still both gleeful and stunned at the ease of how everything unfolded. When I met with the publisher, I didn't have the slightest intent on pitching this novel idea, but during the conversation it felt right. I had studied the company's catalog and surmised that they might want to continue to develop their horror line.
After the conversation finished, I immediately thought—OK, WELL THIS CHANGES ALL MY WRITING PLANS FOR 2019! and, I NEED SOME SUPPORT IN GETTING THIS NOVEL WRITTEN! and, CLEARLY THIS STORY WANTS TO BE BORN!!! and, YIKES! AND, OMG, I'VE NEVER WRITTEN A HORROR NOVEL!!!!!
I took a deep breath and told myself that I would figure it out, as all writers do.
This brings me back to the Finish Your Novel workshop. We met yesterday and I think it's going to provide a helpful model for accountability. Samantha will discuss key issues about novel structure and all the participants will have at least one opportunity to receive feedback on their work. My goal is to develop a detailed outline for our Feb meeting.
I can't wait to share more details. I'll do that once the contract has been signed, etc. I can tell you that my story will be set in North Carolina, in the present. I will be updating you right here about the joys, triumphs and struggles of writing this novel.
One question for the fiction writers:
What's your favorite book on plotting and novel structure? I'd love to know!
One question for the horror lovers among us:
I haven't read that many classic European and early American horror writers like Lovecraft, etc. What are some classics that I should read?
I got an idea and it wouldn't let me go this weekend. If you know anything about some of my writing projects, you know that I'm pretty interested in hair, and its role and meaning in our beauty and adornment practices.
My sci-fi novella, Reenu-You is about what happens to a community when a virus is seemingly transmitted through a "natural" hair care product. In this Inspirations and Influences essay I wrote for Book Smugglers Publishing, I explore why hair and cultural ideas about hair fascinate me.
During my search for submission opportunities, I stumbled upon this call for poems about hair for an upcoming anthology. Hair poems? How cool! I have many other projects in my queue to finish and write, but this call stuck with me.
Intrigued, I pondered, puttered, and made some notes. I thought about Bea, a beautician, and one of my favorite characters in a novel that is part of the Reenu-You "universe", though not yet published. I've always loved her voice and her inner life.
In the back of my mind, I was also still mulling over the panel "Writing To Play" from last month's North Carolina Writers Conference. (see more here about this super cool volunteer organization that hosts a great low-key conference and my becoming an invited member. They are different from the North Carolina Writers Network.) The panel was about cross-fertilization—what fiction writers and poets can learn from playwrights and vice versa. It was an impressive panel moderated by Howard Craft; panelists included Barbara Presnell, Nathan Ross Freeman, June Guralnick and Pat Riviere-Seel. Several panelists discussed having their poetry and/or fiction adapted into theatre productions. Both poets and fiction writers remarked how sound, dialogue and character operated differently across various genres.
Yesterday, I pulled out Bea's first person narrative and began stripping it down and rearranging it. I thought about how a beautician views herself and her trade might work well as a persona poem. I adore persona poems and like to occasionally try my hand at them.
Here's snippet from the poem, tentatively titled, 'When the Beautician Thinks of Herself as a Healer'.
I am a healer,
a modern day shaman
whose tools
are metal flat irons,
big pink rollers,
slippery, translucent gels,
and hair oils
that smell like
exotic fruits
from faraway lands.
I loved that first line in its fictional form and I love it as a first stanza! I'm having great fun playing which is the most important thing when one experiments. Also, the lesson for me is that if I follow my passion and subject matter, I can adapt the form a project takes. The deadline for the anthology is 8/31. That's soon! My goal is to submit this poem and also to write another poem titled, 'The Math of Hair' or 'Hair Math'. I will be sure to update you on my progress!
Have you ever taken a piece of your writing and changed the form (moving from poetry to short fiction, poetry to a play, etc.)? I'd love to hear about your experience.
My Work is Eligible for a Hugo for the First Time Ever: It's Nomination Season!
Posted February 28, 2018on:
I am very excited to announce that Reenu-You is eligible for nomination for a Hugo Award this year! It is my first time having a book out that is eligible. I am thrilled at the prospect that it might be considered for a Hugo.
For those not in science fiction writing community, you may be scratching your head and asking: What's a Hugo? The Hugo is considered "science fiction's most prestigious award. The Hugo Awards are voted on by members of the World Science Fiction Convention ("Worldcon"), which is also responsible for administering them." http://www.thehugoawards.org/about/
I would love to see Reenu-You make it on to the next stage in the awards process. If you are eligible to nominate Reenu-You, I encourage you to do so. Nominations are currently being accepted through March 16th. More information about the Hugo Award Nomination process can be found here.
The novella Reenu-You is the culmination of a lot of hard work, creative energy, and determination. Reenu-You explores what happens when a mysterious virus is transmitted through a "natural" hair product. Set in the 1990s, the novella explores hair, the politics of beauty, female friendships, corporate conspiracy and unlikely heroines.
It has been such a pleasure to share this story with others since the book was first published last March. I have shared its story at book talks, on a television segment, and even at an author "speed dating" event. It is such a joy to know that Reenu-You is reaching new readers.
If you are not eligible to nominate for The Hugo Awards, there are still ways that you can help! Spread the word about Reenu-You's eligibility by word of mouth or to your social media pages. Below is a short post you could share.
"Reenu-You," by Michele Tracy Berger is eligible for nomination for this year's Hugo Awards. If you are eligible to nominate this thrilling sci-fi novella, I encourage you to do so!
Or, of course feel free to make your message your own.
Thanks so much for your continued support of me and my work. I am so grateful for my creative community!
It was a busy weekend! My first stop was at High Point University. I was invited by the English Club to give a craft talk and also discuss the political and structural interests that led me to speculative fiction and Afrofuturism, in particular.
The thing is, I had never given a 'craft talk' before! I've given lots of academic talks, of course, and have also done several readings of Reenu-You, but never a craft talk. What goes into a craft talk? I found out that a craft talk is just what it sounds like—a writer talking about techniques and processes of writing.
I knew that the English Club would be marketing my visit for a broad audience, so I needed to keep in mind that not everyone would want to hear specific details about writing craft. I spent the last few weeks working on my craft talk.
In the end, I decided to focus the first half of the talk on the speculative media influences on my childhood and young adult years (e.g. the television show, Lost in Space, the Bionic Woman and the film Star Wars). I then talked about my desire to connect to characters in speculative fiction and media with backgrounds that were similar to mine or connected to African American history and for a LONG time how hard that was. By college I was trying to "write myself" into the text and I spent time talking about how during college I discovered both the African American literary canon and feminist speculative fiction! Toward the end of the talk, I then discussed more 'crafty' things like how much I love first person narration and why I chose to use two first person narrators in Reenu-You. The audience was composed of students, faculty and parents (it was family weekend!) and they were warm and asked great questions.
I'm so grateful to the students and faculty that brought me to campus.
On Saturday at Park Road Books, in Charlotte, I was on a fantastic panel put together by writer and publisher Nicole Kurtz. The panel featured Black women speculative fiction authors including Nicole, Alledria Hurt, Marcia Colette and myself.
On such a cold wintry day, we had a spectacular turnout. The audience was engaged and we talked about diversity in publishing, the possible impact of the films, Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time for young people and pitched our books. We sold out of our books and several panelists and audience members made our way over to a local restaurant for talk and conversation. It was a truly wonderful and uplifting experience! We may try to replicate this panel at future sci-fi conventions.

The staff in Marquette Central is dedicated to serving our students and families in a professional and friendly manner while following the policies and procedures set forth by the university. The office provides accurate and timely information about student accounts while encouraging our students to be active participants in managing their account.
Marquette University sends a monthly electronic billing statement to students that have an account balance. Students may also view their e-bill via CheckMarq. Payment due dates are available on the Marquette Central website. The final step to complete registration is payment in full of all fees for the term. It is the responsibility of students to pay tuition, fees and housing by the published due date whether they receive a bill or not.
Students who do not plan to attend the university are responsible for dropping classes through CheckMarq and notifying their respective college office. All courses for which students are officially registered as of the close of registration are subject to tuition, fee assessment and payment, and as such appear as part of their permanent record even if students do not attend any class periods. To avoid unnecessary charges and permanent failing or withdrawn grades on their permanent record, it is the responsibility of students to review their official registration prior to the end of registration for the session in which the course is scheduled and ensure it accurately reflects the courses in which they plan to be enrolled. Students assume responsibility for the consequences that ensue as a result of any failed or withdrawal grade. These consequences include but are not limited to: a delay in graduation, dismissal from the degree program, denial of readmission, external institutions/entities viewing these grades as failing grades, loss of eligibility for certain scholarships and/or financial aid, loss of full-time status and/or loss of a refund.
Registration is not considered complete until all tuition and fees are paid, enrolls in the Marquette Monthly Payment Plan, or submits a billing authorization from an approved sponsor. Students whose accounts reflect that the payment has not been made, or that are otherwise delinquent have a registration block, transcript block and diploma block placed on their accounts. There is a $100.00 fee for the removal of the block. Failure to pay any balance when due may result in the cancellation of their registration for the current academic term, referral of the account to a collection agency, legal action to collect any balance due or any combination thereof. If the university must take legal action to collect any unpaid balance, students are responsible for all fees and costs incurred by the university to collect the unpaid balance.
Tuition Discount
A 50 percent discount on tuition (only) is available to individuals who audit classes. This opportunity is offered to students who have the proper background and prerequisite of the course(s) in question. Students whose total credit hours equal 12 or more including audit courses, is assessed the full-time rate based on their career.
Payment Options
Traditional Term Payment
Payment of all tuition and other billed charges is due in full prior to the beginning of each term.

Marquette Monthly Payment Plan
Marquette offers a payment plan during the fall and spring terms administered by Tuition Management Systems Inc. The Marquette Monthly Payment Plan allows students and their families to pay tuition, fees, university housing and/or meal charges in five equal monthly installments. There is a $35 per term enrollment fee, but there are no interest charges involved.
Payment by a University Approved Third-Party Sponsor
The Office of the Bursar works with students who receive tuition assistance through a third party. The third party is billed for all or part of their financial account charges after the university registration add/drop date.
Note: If your employer requires grades prior to paying for a class, we cannot set them up as a third-party sponsor.

a new family member
for two days i have been helping a friend of mine do the finishing interior design touches for a new cafe in saint paul that opens tomorrow morning. saint paul is the nerdy little brother to popular and flashy minneapolis, and i have a soft spot for underdogs, so i like to support saint paul whenever i get a chance. i've been running around town buying all those things you need at the eleventh hour of any interiors project like cord covers, dent remover, polish, plants, pillows, and pots. among my many errands today was a trip to the local floral wholesaler, where this moody little rubber tree plant caught my eye. the rich, earthy palette somehow fit my mood exactly for this holiday season. so . . . one for me, and one for the cafe. i called it compensation. don't know how much that translates into in terms of hourly wage. don't care.
rubber tree plant (Ficus elastica)
'ficus elastica!' I love it! What's the name of the cafe? -anywhere near the train station?reply
I want one, too! Love the moodiness vibe.reply

Plymouth Makes Statement, Beats Trinity 35-14
Kyle Reisert hit Trinity QB Carmen Giampetruzzi, forcing a fumble and then Reisert recovered it on the Trinity 11 yard line. On the very next play Kuehl took the handoff, bounced it to the right side edge and score an 11 yard TD. After the extra point by kicker Silas Murray (a perfect 5/5 on PATs and also had a touchback on a kickoff) it was 35-6 Plymouth with just 3:40 left in the 4th quarter. Trinity's players walked slowly back to their sideline, while Plymouth celebrated and took their starters out for the rest of the game.
Just 2 plays before that Plymouth capped a long drive that started back on their own 26 yard line with a 2 yard TD run by Kuehl (he had 172 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns on the day). The score was set up by a 19 yard run by Kuehl where he broke tackles and plowed through defenders - Trinity needed 5 kids to bring him down on that play, Kuehl is a beast at 6-2", 215 lbs.
"Kuel and Thomas are pretty good backs" said Plymouth head coach Chuck Lenahan. "That was big for us to be able keep the ball at the end and get those 1st downs. The defense did their job shutting them down. It was a hell of a team effort."
In addition to his 172 rushing yards and 3 TDs, Kuehl also had a number of bone-jarring hits on 'D'. Reisert had the forced fumble, fumble recovery, was all over the place making tackles on defense and also had a 23 yard TD reception at the end of the 1st half. Senior QB/DB Collin Sullivan had through the 23 yard TD pass to Reisert (was a great pass by Sullivan and Reisert had to walk a tightrope to avoid falling out of bounds), and Sullivan also made an interception on defense (an outstanding diving grab). Senior RB/LB John Thomas had over 80 yards rushing and also played strong defense.
"Reisert had a great defensive effort today" said Lenahan, a legendary coach in his final season at the helm. "And I usually don't like to have my quarterback in there on defense, but Collin intercepts everything."
Plymouth led this game from start to finish. They got on the board on their first drive, marching down the field with the combination of Kuehl and Thomas running the ball. Kuehl ran in his first TD of the day to give the Bobcats the early 7-0 lead. Kuehl has a great combination of size and speed, and at some points in this game looked like a man among boys.
Trinity was forced to punt on their first drive. Plymouth got the ball back, and proceeded to once again march down the field. A 15 yard run by Kuehl was followed by an 11 yard carry by Thomas, then a 17 yard run by Kuehl. It was 1st and 10 for the Bobcats on the Trinity 11, and Plymouth was seriously threatening to take a commanding 2 score lead in the 1st quarter. Then the Pioneers' defense stepped up, as Will Sheppard sacked Sullivan for a 2 yard loss, followed by a big hit by senior RB/LB Zach Poole. That forced the Bobcats to try a field goal, but Murray's 32 yard FG attempt was no good. Bullet successfully dodged by Trinity, who now got the ball back only down 7-0.
Unfortunately though it was Plymouth's defense which got the best of Trinity's offense all game. Lineman Jason Murray made a big hit, followed by tough tackles by both Sullivan and Aaron Evans. On 3rd and 9 on their own 32 yard line Brad Rhoades rushed for a 7 yard gain which brought up 4th and 2 on their own 38. Pioneers head coach Steve Burns elected to go for it, which was a gutsy call. But it worked out, as Poole rushed for a 7 yard pickup and the 1st down. However the drive stalled from there and Giampetruzzi punted it away (a 60 yard punt!).
Plymouth was pinned back at their own 20 yard line, but again they used their 2 strong backs Kuehl and Thomas to grind out a drive and march down the field. Trinity's 'D' was battling hard though, as Tristen Theroux, Ian Landry and Kegan Williams teamed up for a big hit. Kuehl made a big 10 yard run on 3rd and 5 to keep the drive alive, but then junior TE/DL Ryan Boldwin sacked Sullivan for Trinity's second sack of the game. Sullivan got right back up though, keeping it for himself and running for a 2 yard gain on 4th and 1 on the Trinity 33 yard line. That gave Plymouth the 1st down, but the clock was ticking and there was just 27.3 seconds left in the 1st half. A couple plays later is when Sullivan hit Reisert with the 23 yard pass with 3.2 seconds left in the 2nd quarter. At first the official's call was that Reisert was out of bounds, but then he changed the call right after that to a touchdown. This infuriated Coach Burns. The call stood though, and after the PAT by Murray it was 14-0 Plymouth.
That was the score at halftime, as the Bobcats ran into the locker room with smiles on their faces. Plymouth got the ball to begin the 2nd half, looking to build on their 2 possession lead. Thomas made a great kickoff return, all the way to midfield. Landry made a good hit though for Trinity, and Plymouth was forced to punt.
Trinity was way back on their own 3 yard line, and Giampetruzzi's pass was tipped by Smith Merrill and nearly intercepted. Then came a HUGE play. It was 4th and 2 for Trinity on their own 11 yard line. You're way back on your own 11, you have to punt it, right? Well, Coach Burns must be that confident in his offense to be able to gain the 2 yards. Plus, he really didn't want to give the ball back to Plymouth with a chance to go up by 3 scores. So he decided to go for it - bad idea. Poole takes the handoff and picks up just 1 yard, and was stopped just short of the 1st down.
With the turnover on downs, Plymouth now got possession on the Trinity 11 yard line. Talk about great field position! A couple plays later, Sullivan ran it in for the 3 yard TD on a QB keeper. PAT by Murray, 21-0 Plymouth with 7:01 to go in the 3rd quarter.
So now Trinity is down 21-0 in the 2nd half, so naturally they decide to open the offense up and start airing it out. Giampetruzzi threw it deep, but his pass was picked off by Sullivan. However Trinity still had some life left, as Williams hit Kuehl, forcing a fumble which was recovered by Poole for the Pioneers.
Then Rhoades ran for 25 yards, and Trinity was feeling like they had a chance. Kuehl then made a BIG hit for a loss of 5 yards. That brought up 3rd and 13 on the Plymouth 25. 'G' dropped back to pass, but was sacked by Reisert for a loss of 12 - a huge defensive play by Reisert. That brought up 4th and 25 for Trinity on the Plymouth 34 - Giampetruzzi completes a pass, it's lateraled back to Austin Chambers who is stopped short of the 1st down marker. Turnover on downs, and a big defensive stand for the Bobcats.
Time for Plymouth to run some clock, but then Thomas fumbled and it was recovered by Theroux for the Pioneers. Plymouth played a great game, but the one thing they'll need to work on is hanging on to the football.
Trinity gets the ball on the Plymouth 30, but is still down 21-0 and it's now late in the 3rd quarter. They need to hurry up and score and get the ball back quickly. Chambers runs for 11 yards, down to the 15 yard line. Then it's 3rd and 4 for Trinity on the Plymouth 9 - 'G' drops back to pass, gets forced out of the pocket by the Bobcats' pass rush, but is able to run for the 1st down all the way to the 1 yard line. He nearly scored on that play, but then on the next one he keeps it for the 1 yard TD. They went scoreless for the game's first 3 quarters, but finally Trinity was on the board. 2 point conversion no good, and it's 21-6 Plymouth with 10:39 left in the 4th quarter.
Decision time for Trinity - to go for the onside kick or to not go for the onside kick? They still need 2 more touchdowns and it's in the 4th quarter. But is there too much time left to go for it? Coach Burns elected to kick it deep and play defense.
Plymouth made him pay, running 7 minutes off the clock and ending their drive with a 2 yard TD run by Kuehl. It was now 28-6 Bobcats with just 3:40 left to play. You already know how the rest of the game went.
Final score: Plymouth 35 Trinity 14, as the Pioneers got one more TD with Plymouth's starters resting on the sideline. Saikou Bah sprinted for a 44 yard TD and added the 2 point conversion.
"We have a great defensive coaching staff" said Coach Lenahan. "The players read their keys well."

Michael Kors celebrates American classics for S/S 20
Sep 11, 2019 | By Cassandra Napoli
Feb 13, 2012
By Jason Hall
New York: Over the last six months, with a plethora of protests taking place across the globe, the concepts of authority and rebellion have carried over into other parts of culture, including fashion. In a time full of somber color palettes, sharp silhouettes and utilitarian details, it was only a matter of time before a menswear designer cited the uniforms for "the boys in blue" as an influence. Patrik Ervell's show notes for F/W 12 simply states "A police aesthetic" as the point of reference, and what came down the runway was everything that phrase might imply: uniformity, blue and badass. The soft-shouldered suits and club collar shirts that have become a staple of his collection were still present, but somehow transitioned into a tougher complement to tonal baseball jackets in wool flannel, quilted trousers and pieced SWAT sweaters. Even subtle accents of metallic gold recalled some of the pomp and circumstance of many uniforms. The striking notion of "disarming authority" (as Ervell explained in his notes) resulted in a sophisticated showing of power, refinement and masculinity. —Michael Fisher
Silhouette: Classic uniformity
Color: Navy / Black / Grey / Royal blue / Red
Key Items: Double-breasted suits / Bomber and baseball jackets / Pieced crewneck sweaters / Pea coat / Quilted trousers / Club collar shirts / Tailored parka
Materials: Wool flannel / PVC / Leather / Silk / Nylon

It's been over 2 weeks now and I'm just now getting to the update about my trip to Fenway Park.
Suffice it to say that the trip could have been better.
We hopped on the train from somewhere in Boston to get to Fenway. We arrived and they have a sort of Pickles-esque set up with a few bars around the place where people can meet up and tell stories about how they became Red Sox fans. I'm going to withhold further comment because unlike a Red Sox game in any other stadium but Boston or NY, I am confident that most of them are actual fans.
We met some other O's fans and they came to dinner with us. I told them I'd post a picture so here it is:
They were nice and they were O's fans so that was cool too.
The place we went had amazing food. But I did find out that most Bostonians are sissies and I judge this based on the beer they drank.
Blueberry and Watermelon beer? Nancies. There wasn't a Natty Boh to be seen for miles.
Anyway we made our way over to the stadium and it was packed. The seats were super close together and a lot of them were obstructed view seats because of the damn pillars.
I only had one run-in with fan. He happened to be a Napoleonic fellow wearing a Pedroia t-shirt. I don't think he smiled during the game and I'm pretty sure he was about 5 seconds from an aneurysm for most of it too. The vein on his forehead was really pulsating. The fans there went ape-shit for every routine play, it was kind of pathetic. When I would clap modestly for the Orioles, the following play (when predictably that play was rendered moot), the guy would stand up, turn around and clap in my face.
First off, if you are 5'5" and 12olbs, don't think that you are going to intimidate me. I subsequently laughed hysterically until the guy turned around. Second, you're supposed to win.
Let me re-iterate that: You're supposed to win. Why are you taking it so serious? Why do you clap at a routine catch by Jacoby in center? You're supposed to beat the snot out of us. You spend more than Scrooge McDuck and we've not had a winning season is 10 11 seasons.
Anyway, after the game we went down to the grounds keepers dressing room (the guy we were with was a grounds keeper there for a bunch of years so he still had some friends there). Turns out their dressing room was right next to the visitors clubhouse. I saw Rich Hill talking with his family (probably about not pitching anymore). I saw Ty Wigginton walking towards the bus hotdog stand. I saw Zaun walk out and forget where he was (Alzheimer's). And, I saw Trembley giving the Crow travel advice.
It was worth the trip to say I'd been there but I'd rather watch a game at good old OPACY any day of the week.
I imagine we will be at a few games this home stand, especially Bergy T-shirt night so we hope to see you at the yard.

Article Detail
05 Apr
Whether at work or in your home office, there are ways to vamp up the style of your bookcase that go beyond books with elegant covers.
- Start fresh. Clear any items from your bookshelves; you'll want to start with a bare "canvas."
- Don't be afraid to be a drama queen (or king!). Adding paint or wallpaper to the back wall of your bookcase incorporates a pop of color. You can also include a design or pattern that makes your bookshelf either stand out on its own in the room or match an already existing design scheme.
- It's all about balance. When putting your items back on the shelves, start at the bottom with larger items and work your way up, adding smaller items on top shelves.
- Try a little patience. Don't expect your first time to be perfect. It's your shelf; if you end up not liking the end result or grow tired of it after a while, change it. It may take a few times for you to achieve the look you'll ultimately love.
- Don't judge a book by its cover..jacket. There are so many books out there in this world that have truly beautiful covers in a wide variety of colors. Sometimes, though, that can be hard to distinguish at first due to cover jackets. While they protect books from dust and other particles from damaging the books, they can also hide the book's beauty… Beauty that can accentuate your shelves. Consider removing the cover jackets and see how much of a difference this makes. If there's a cover you absolutely adore, consider displaying the book with the cover facing front.
- Utilize storage space. If you keep more than just books on your shelves, consider purchasing storage containers in different patterns or colors. Larger containers can be kept on bottom shelves while the smaller ones are placed higher.
- Switch it up. Play around with book placement; lay some horizontally and let others stand. Ones that are lying down can serve as a pedestal for other items. If you collect certain items, such as sea shells or small collectible figures, you can display them on top of the stacks that are lying down.
- Surround with art. Bookcases can be the perfect backdrop for artwork. You can hang art on the frame of the shelves, place it on the shelves, next to the bookcase, or sit on top of stacked books.
- Remember that less is more. Don't fill up your shelves, as this will look cluttered and junky.

Vastavam web: SS Rajamouli's next film, what is it? For now, he might be thoroughly enjoying the sweat-out success of Baahubali 2 but as a director, he has to move on and already got plans in mind about his next project.
While rumor mills are loud on Jakkanna to do a small budgeted project or Mahabharatha or a Hindi movie and gaga, what we heard from reliable industry sources is Allu Arjun will be the Rajamouli's next hero.
Yes, long back nearly five years ago SS Rajamouli took advance remuneration from top producer DVV Danayya to direct a film on their Universal Media banner and a story was also finalized with Allu Arjun as hero.
As and when Jakkanna went busy on Baahubali two parts dedicatedly, Danayya did not disturb. As Baahubali humongous result is before our eyes, Rajamouli seems to have decided to fulfill a long lasting commitment made to Danayya, Bunny by accepting this as his upcoming assignment.

YOUR MAMAS NOTES: Buckle up butter beans as a result of, after a wee hiatus, the usually unlucky in love man magnet and showbiz famous person Halle Berry simply jumped again on the movie star real estate merry-go-round.
We ran out of wall area so I came up with this controversial idea to hang this massive mirror from the ceiling..seems it was an ideal thought and an amazing use of in any other case lifeless house. The money owed of the deceased should be paid before the beneficiaries receive their inheritance. The mortgage is a debt of the deceased that occurs to be secured by the house. The mortgage must be paid before the house is able to be transferred to anybody else. Canada is gorgeous, loved my visits there – that helped with geography and history questions, however not the political questions!
I simply bought back from Winnipeg last week – what a beautiful metropolis! As a toddler, my family typically visited Niagara Falls and various tourist destinations in Ontario. I love your country! A cinema household gift card has all the time gone down well with my family – treat them to the latest household film at the cinema. Visit my Just Morkies retailer on Zazzle and see lots of T-shirts, hoodies, mugs and more for you…. along with Morkie t-shirts on your 4-legged friend!
It is a dependable and reliable recruiting company searching for dad and mom in need of live in or stay out care givers. My dad's reasoning behind me taking title is that he would moderately me preserve it as an funding property rather than dropping the value once more so as to promote it. At that time, the proceeds from promoting it may not even be sufficient to cover the mortgage.
