Widow tied up and tortured by murder accused, court told
A 50-year-old man tied up a 60-year-old widow with a dog lead and tortured her, leaving her to die while he cleaned out her bank account, a court heard yesterday.
Oliver Hayes, of Clancool Terrace, Bandon, Co Cork, has gone on trial at the Central Criminal Court charged with murdering Anne Corcoran, from Maulnaskimlehane, Kilbrittain, near Bandon.
He has pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to her manslaughter on a date between January 19 and 21 2009, after falsely imprisoning her. He admits stealing €3,000 from her bank account over five days.
Prosecuting counsel John O'Kelly told the court that Mrs Corcoran's husband died in 2007 and she lived alone on her farm, which was mostly let out. She was active, had friends and two dogs, and was enjoying life.
"Sometime between January 19 and 21, she was murdered," he said. "She didn't know, but Oliver Hayes was watching her house with the intention of robbing her. He decided she'd probably have money, hopefully in the house. He brought a couple of feet of yellow rope."
Mr O'Kelly said that as Mrs Corcoran opened her front door to enter, Hayes was "ready for her", grabbed her from behind and pushed her inside. She was small but had courage, he said, and tried to fight him off.
Hayes demanded money and was told it was in the bank. He asked her for her bank cards, but she resisted, he said.
"He brought her to her car, put her in the boot and drove her around with the intention that this would break her down," he added. "But she was courageous and managed to get into the back seat of the car."
She would not reveal her pin number so he tied her legs with a dog lead and continued to drive around. After about an hour in the car, he brought her to his house and dragged her upstairs to a bedroom.
"He starts on her again to give him the numbers because he wants to clean out her account," said Mr O'Kelly. She gave him her pin numbers but he then began beating her with a stick.
Mr O'Kelly alleged that Mrs Corcoran was still conscious, so the accused picked up a table top and beat the back of her head until she was unconscious and bleeding, he said.
"He stuffs a shirt into her mouth, a heavy gag, ties her up and leaves her alone and unconscious," continued Mr O'Kelly.
"He returns to her house, ransacks her house, finds the bank cards and, armed with these, he heads into Bandon." He said Hayes had no success at the Bank of Ireland ATM, but withdrew the maximum amount of €600 from the AIB machine. "He returns to his house and apparently Anne Corcoran is still alive but just lying on the floor unconscious," said Mr O'Kelly.
Hayes slept downstairs that night and his victim was dead the next day.
"Does he exhibit shock or remorse?" asked Mr O'Kelly. "No. That night he's back at ATMs in Bandon and withdraws another €600 (from Mrs Corcoran's account)."
Hayes continued to make the maximum withdrawals from the widow's account over the next few days while she lay dead in his house, he said.
"Five days after the murder, he goes off with his girlfriend and her son on a skiing holiday to Austria and spends five or six days there," explained the barrister. "He also pays off a number of bills with the money."
He said Hayes wrapped Mrs Corcoran's body in bin bags and brought it to a wood near Ballinaspittle, where he used petrol to set it on fire.
The court heard that the last known contact with Mrs Corcoran was a phone call she made on January 19. People became suspicious over the following week and contacted gardai.
Investigators checked the widow's bank accounts and discovered the transactions Hayes made and viewed CCTV footage.
The barrister said the defendant's house was searched and traces of Mrs Corcoran's blood were found in a bedroom and on a stick. Hayes was arrested.
After initial denials, Hayes admitted he wanted her unconscious and that when he couldn't knock her out with the stick, he went for the table top and "battered her over the head with it", he said.
The autopsy found she died of head wounds and due to a gag impeding her breathing.
The trial continues.

When it comes to augmenting the breasts, today's modern plastic surgery techniques make it safer and more natural than ever before. But prior to "jumping in" and enhancing your breasts, take a moment to look at the facts about breast augmentation incisions and types of implants available.
Incision Placements
- TUBA (Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation/No Scar): through the navel with an endoscope
- Transaxillary (No Scar): underneath the armpit
- Inframammary: underneath the breast in the crease/fold
- Areolar: along the border of the nipple
Types of Breast Implants
- Saline: A breast implant, measured in cc's, that is made from a soft, flexible plastic that arrives unfilled from the manufacturer. It will be filled with sterile saline solution to be filled to the cup size you have selected. His no scar breast augmentation surgery uses saline implants.
- Silicone Gel: A soft-shell breast implant, measured in cc's, that is pre-filled with sterile, medical-grade silicone. Many patients who choose silicone do so because the texture and feel of silicone is most like natural breast tissue.
- Gummy Bear Implants: Recently approved by the FDA, this type of cohesive gel implant is made of silicone that does not run or leak when the implant is punctured. This prevents silicone from leaking outside of the implant. This type of implant is more than likely coming soon to our offices!
Breast Implant Shapes
- Standard Profile: This is the most commonly-used breast implant shape because it offers a uniformly round shape and fills out breast volume in the most even manner.
- High Profile: This type of breast implant is taller than it is wide so that when placed in a table, you can visibly see that it is greater in height than it is in width.
- Tear Drop Shape: This breast implant comes in the shape of a three-dimensional teardrop to enhance the breasts with greater volume in the lower half of the breast.

Portrait of a Girlboss: Maya Nussbaum of Girls Write Now
In 1998, Maya Nussbaum was a senior at Columbia University, finishing up her degree at one of the most prestigious writing programs in the country. But as a young woman in a city with a seemingly infinite number of aspiring writers and a literary legacy largely populated by pensive, brooding, Scotch-swilling white dudes, Nussbaum sensed a void. Where was the sense of community among budding writers as they struggled to navigate a complex publishing scene? And more specifically, where was the sense of community among young women writers, for whom statistics demonstrate even greater obstacles in getting published than their male counterparts? Nussbaum thus set out to create Girls Write Now, a mentoring program that pairs high-school aged girls with professional women writers. Now, nearly two decades later, more than 5,000 girls have passed through the program, 90% of whom have been high-need, and 95% of whom are girls of color. More impressive still, every high-school senior that has completed the program at Girls Write Now has gone on to attend college, and for many, they are the first in their families to do so.
GWN has been distinguished twice by the White House and the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities as one of the nation's top after school programs, and last year, Nussbaum was named a People's Choice nominee by none other than Diane von Furstenberg. Most recently, Lena Dunham released Is It Evil Not to be Sure?, a super-limited-edition chapbook of her college diary entries, to benefit the organization (and it sold out almost immediately!) Nussbaum sat down with Girlboss to talk about how she got her start, what it's like to be at the helm of a non-profit for two decades straight out of college, the two-way street of mentorship, and what's in store for the future.
Can you tell us a little bit about where you were at that moment in your life and what inspired you to start GWN?
I founded Girls Write Now when I was not much older than the teenage girls we serve. I made it my mission to break down the myth of the "isolated writer" and to build an organization based on the guiding principle that writing is actually a communal enterprise. I focused on teens because I remember ninth and tenth grade as a time when I was trying to find my voice and my "value" or purpose in the world. I've found over the years that other women feel the same way about their own development and need for community.
Your stats on college acceptance is such an incredible achievement, and you've received so much impressive recognition for supporting a demographic not many people invest their time and energy in. What has the process of growing and expanding to this point been like over the years?
Girls Write Now is New York's first and only writing and mentoring organization for girls. We've been strengthening this model and building this organization for almost two decades. We've become a leader in the girls' education space, distinguished twice by the White House and the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities as one of the nation's top after school programs, twice in the last two years by the Nonprofit Excellence Awards as one of New York's top ten nonprofits, and twice by the New York City Council as one of the city's top girl-focused initiatives. Yet, we're in a moment of change, evolution—dare we say "revolution," which this year's theme—and this guides our curriculum and programs.
Our girls sensed this change in their own lives and the world around them when they dreamed up our most activist theme to date, and ushered it in for us all, about a year ago. At the time, of course none of us had an inkling of how the political season would unfold...But on a personal and social level, our girls knew that what they had at Girls Write Now was rare, special, and important. They're growing up in a time when they feel the voices of girls, and girls of color in particular, aren't heard, that they lack the adult networks to which other teens have access, that they must rise above the race and income-based inequalities of their neighborhoods and school system. And these feelings of revolution have surfaced in many of our girls' stories, portfolios, readings, and publications, including the Girls Write Now 2016 Anthology: (R)evolution.
This is a movement to which I have personally dedicated my life —as a girl right out of college, as a writer struggling to find her voice, as someone who saw a need and met that demand by building a community of mentors. We are committed to each and every girl who puts pen to paper at Girls Write Now. Coming of age as a girl demands compassion and guidance from those who have struggled and succeeded ahead of you. Bringing an organization to the next level requires the drive of hundreds and thousands of supporters. Whether growing up as a girl, a writer, or as an organization—taking the risk to evolve at each new stage—all of these are revolutionary acts of courage and imagination fueled by the power of community.
You've had the support of many prominent writers and artists. What advice would you pass along as far as reaching out for support from women who may be more established in their careers?
Mentoring is the heart of our operation and the value of seeking out a mentor is powerful. We see the rewards of women helping the next generation every day in our work. Professional women writers from every discipline join us as mentors to pass on the specifics of their craft. But as they work with their mentees, something magical begins. The rigor and flexibility of our structure turns a one-on-one relationship into a two-way street, where the teachers learn as much as they teach. Mentees and mentors become crit partners, collaborators, and lifelong friends. And as our programs foster our mentees' development in everything from writing in the digital age to applying for college, they become mentors to each other, exchanging new skills, demonstrating creative leadership in our workshops, winning national writing awards, and engaging more fully with their own communities.
What have been some of the most challenging moments as founder and executive director?
As we approach almost two decades and embrace a new vision for growth, we want to make sure to maintain the high quality of our robust and customized deep-touch programming as we also build our economy of scale, exponentially increasing the number of girls we serve over the next three years. Achieving the right balance can be tough, but we stay focused on creating the space for women to take creative risks, and the pathway for authentic relationships between writers to form.
GWN has plans in the works this year to double the number of girls you're serving. How are you going about such an ambitious task?
In the past year, Girls Write Now has undergone our most intensive strategic planning process to date, with support from over 100 community stakeholders and external evaluators from Harvard Business School and NYU Wagner. Together, we refreshed our mission statement and creating seven combined strategic priorities and organizational commitments necessary to scale our proven service model and sustain the organization long-term. The strategic plan outlines our innovative initiatives to double the number of girls we serve, to deepen our programming through integration of college readiness, curricula choice, and digital access into our flagship writing and mentoring program, and to expand our alumnae services, supporting mentees in the transition to college and career.
And are you totally exhausted all the time?! How do you wind down at the end of a long day?
Girls Write Now's energy buoys me every day. I can't say I get much down time, since I have a two-year-old daughter, Leda, and another child on the way in July, but I wouldn't trade it for the world!

text: When completed in 1902, the landmark Broad Exchange Building, located at 25 Broad in the heart of the financial district, was America's largest office building with the highest real estate value in Manhattan. First converted to condominiums in 1997, Me and General Design were brought in on the massive residential renovation project in 2011. Visions of the building's prewar grandeur greet you as you enter the lobby — original 19th century marble clad walls, gold leafing, and a 48 foot-long imported silk and wool rug. We created an amenity package befitting of this powerhouse building, featuring a resident lounge with TV, pool tables and catering kitchen; a fitness center with separate yoga space and a Golf simulator; a children's playroom with computer workstations; and a roof terrace with outdoor showers, grills and kitchen from which to enjoy the impressive 21-story views. We also designed 2 leasing centers, 4 model apartments and a wing of 19 apartments called the A-line, all of which feature luxury finishes, unique pieces mixed in with ease, and the ultimate in modern functionality. Legacy, restored.

Forty multiplexes ready to screen Marathi movie Sa Sasucha
MUMBAI: The after effects of the threat to multiplexes by two political parties to show Marathi films have initially paid off.
Over 40 multiplexes have come forward to screen Marathi thriller Sa Sasucha directed by Kishor Pandurang Belekar.
Said Belekar, "Multiplexes have come forward to screen my film. Over 80 cinema halls including multiplexes in Mumbai have decided to screen the film. There was nothing in the horror genre in Marathi film. I showed video quality to multiplexes and they agreed to screen the film."
It has been divulged that multiplex owners have been calling up Belekar, asking him for posters of his film to be put up along with Hindi films.
Said Fun Cinemas COO Vishal Kapur, "The move by multiplexes to show Sa Sasucha has not necessarily been the fallout of the political protests from MNS and Shiv Sena. When we saw the video rushes of the film, we thought that the film's content was indeed good and would attract audience. We decided to screen the film."

CA: Mono Co- Santa Cruz Co: Through Yosemite
Our first stop on the way back was Tuolumne Meadows. The meadows were wet and lush while the landscape consisted of mountains covered in forests and or rocky slopes with snow that melted away to create streams and gushing waterfalls. We observed a flooded meadow surrounded by lodgepoles who were slowly invading the meadow. We clambered up to Pothole Dome to get yet another glacier lecture and a special talk from our TA, Ranger Jack, about what each of the peak's names were. The view was spectacular! Our next stop was at Olmstead Point, where we had a terrific view of Half Dome. Max caught his specialty; a Western Fence lizard, and small patches of snow allowed for a final round of snow shenanigans. Some others stayed behind in search of a pika, but instead found the fat and fuzzy marmot. On our way to the last stop, the landscape progressed from a snowy pine forest to a drier pine forest all the way down to the raging and flooded Merced River that was surrounded by tall, vertical, rocky walls. We were absolutely astonished at some rock climbers that even when looked at through our binoculars looked like tiny creatures on this massive rock wall. El Capitan was truly something to behold. It seemed like around every corner there was a majestic waterfall pouring out of the glacier-carved rocky hillsides.
Finally we were on our way back to our homes in Santa Cruz and the landscape once again shifted to chapparal as we drove alongside the Merced River. Some cars were filled with the songs from many pop artists, while other cars preferred to listen to the songs of birds off of Christophen's iPod. We arrived safe and sound, aware that this was just the beginning.

Well, this has been a turn up for the books now, hasn't it? After crowing all last week in my self-assured and bulletproof "Lyon sucks" haven, it stood to reason that this balding combination of Stewie Griffin (a 2-year old cartoon character from Family Guy) + a Nerf pool football would pull the performance of his middling career out of his nigh-on empty bag of tricks to try shut me up. For the more casual cricket fans, Nathan Lyon took 8 wickets for 50 runs a week(ish) after I praised Australia's second spinner Steven O'Keefe for taking 6 wickets in each innings of the first test.
This Lyon haul hasn't worked, and here's why:
It has been 813 days (aka 2 years, 2 months and 20 days), 28 Tests, 53 innings, 6,290 balls, 3,440 runs and 106 wickets between 5 wicket-hauls for our uncontested spinner. That's 70,243,200 seconds!
His fans love to bleat about "latest and fullest" and "most wickets" for Australia, but the notion that X amount of wickets means more than averages is nonsense (within reason, scoring a hundred then promptly retiring isn't reasonable either), and here's a simple example as to why: Alistair Cook has almost twice the runs Bradman had, does that make him better? The answer, if you're still struggling with that terrible "oh shit that's a great point, I never thought of that but am too stubborn to admit I'm wrong" feeling (something you'll have to get used to if you continue to read on as a blind Lyon supporter), is a resounding "NO!"
Here's some names that were playing the last time Lyon took 5+ wickets in an innings (and, to be fair to him, he took 12 wickets in this match, albeit for a hideous amount of runs [286] and at a frankly embarrassing economy of 4.1 runs an over):
- Chris Rogers
- Shane Watson
- Michael Clarke
- Brad Haddin
- Mitch Johnson
- Peter Siddle
- Ryan Harris
That's 7 out of the 10 other players in the team who've since retired since Lyon did anything properly noteworthy slash his (well-paid, super-fun) JOB.
"Yeah but he chips in with handy wickets regularly" you say? Oh OK, let's disprove that then, shall we?
Including this Test match, Lyon's numbers when bowling to the top 4 in any side (no matter how awful they are as a test nation) are: 78 wickets for 3,601 runs @ 46.2 runs per wicket. That's also less than a third of his total of 241 wickets, this is relevant because as a bowler your aim is to get the best batsmen out, remember? That average is around a VVS Laxman, remember how good he was?
Additionally, and conversely, Lyon soars when bowling to the tail (which has some [substantially smaller/lesser] benefits, but when you've got Hazlewood and Starc it's far less useful as they are superb to the tail [aka numbers 8-11 in the batting order]): 82 wickets for 832 runs @ 10.1 runs per wicket. That's more than a third of his total wickets bowling to varying degrees of bunnies…
This reaffirms – in lovely black and white – the theory I've always held that Clarke padded the absolute shit out of Lyon's numbers by buying him cheap wickets to keep him in the team/justify his spot.
That means when bowling to the "middle" of an innings (batting positions 5-7) he's taken 81 wickets for 3,460 runs @ 42.7 runs per wicket.
Thus, whenever Lyon is bowling to anyone who is even partly-paid to perform with the bat he has total numbers of 159 wickets for 7,061 runs at the average of 44.4 runs per wicket. Mark Waugh averaged under 43 runs per wicket with the bat and had a very successful Test career, and is in our "Hall of Fame", just for yet another healthy dosage of reality and perspective.
And for those who say "yeah but he rarely gets to bowl on the subcontinent/in helpful conditions" there's this for you: Lyon has 55 wickets for 1,912 runs at an average of 34.8 in the subcontinent (Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the U.A.E.), conditions where his peers flourish.
Rangana Herath has 281 wickets in the SC at 25.5, Yasir Shah has 97 at 24.8, R Ashwin has 221 at 22.0, Ravi Jadeja has 104 at 20.5! No other spinner in any other teams has been around as long as Lyon or these lads, or are properly established in their teams, hence their exclusion.
So he's almost 10 runs per wicket worse off than his closest peer in what are obviously more favourable conditions for spinners.
"Yeah but he does well at home then" (thanks for continuously shifting your goalposts, I'll allow it that I may step on this one also): 118 wickets at 34.6 in his motherland.
"England then?": 25 wickets at 30.2 (not bad, still over 30 and barely 10% of his career haul).
"Africa?": 12 at 36.0 (middling, once again).
"Umm…OK then, West Indies?": 21 wickets @ 23.4, something you can sort of cling to (it is only 8.7% of his career haul though, and then there's those lopsided tail-mopping numbers, too).
Let's get one thing straight here, before I go – I do not dislike Lyon as a bloke and would never question his efforts for, or loyalty and commitment to the Australian side, and, from all reports, he's a bloody top-class lad and helps the team harmony in large quantities. I also don't believe he's a BAD player, all jokes and exaggerations/troll-bait aside, I know he's not a BAD player. He's not good, either, and is barely average.
It's just that, any way you slice it and over a very long time (notwithstanding his recent haul in India, which was great and I was happy for him in his taking thereof), he's simply a very average player whose essentially unchallenged spot in the Australian side, as Usman Khawaja sits on the bench after a wonderful home summer, is baseless and wrong. SOK has proven, in the scattered and scarce opportunities he's had, that he's a better spinner in that he's outperformed Lyon in every test they've played together (barring this one).
He also has an FC average that is around 15 runs per wicket superior, and has outperformed Lyon in every Shield game they've played together and against one another. And he bats at almost 30 in Shield.
Pointing at a broken clock which happens to be showing the right time at a particular moment of the day as evidence that it is just as good as a fully-functioning clock is fundamentally flawed (i.e. saying "8/50 proves you wrong and that's all there is to it now, so move on" is nonsense), and that's why I'm not overly moved or forthcoming in conceding anything other than when I take a closer look at Lyon's career I'm even more depressed and confused in his constant selection…
Points I've argued:
- Lyon is an average spinner
- SOK's number are far better in FC (side-by-side and as foes), Tests (outbowled in every test they've played together barring this as yet unfinished one)
- Lyon doesn't perform particularly well at home or in favourable conditions
- Lyon's largely unchallenged spot in the team is unfounded, given his most direct competitor, especially given that far superior players like Khawaja (who actually perform largely and regularly, not dismantling bunnies) are not exempt from the axe or "horses for courses" mentality
- 8/50 is great, and broke a few records, it's also his first notable contribution (by the fact that 5 wicket-hauls are the benchmark for outstanding performances in Test cricket and have been since time in memorium) for 813 days and 28 Tests and 53 trips to the bowling crease
- If he can actually perform regularly (5-fas twice a year, better numbers against batsmen) I'll be happy that he's improved and feel that it'll further justify his position (new point, but an important one to note)
- So long as SOK continues to also perform (they've both got 13 wickets apiece in this series) Lyon should not be guaranteed anything
Here's to the next 813 days of drought-stricken, tail-padding, mediocre spin that is survived by a meme and people's scant abilities to set aside emotion from fact and be able to read numbers at all well.
I'll be waiting.
And if he takes another bag this test or in the immediate future, he'll need to continue to do so for the remainder of his career (and by dismissing actual batsmen within those very regular 5-fas) or I'll (correctly) never concede anything to him, Jason Gillespie hit 201* in a Test match, nobody then crowed that he was a batsman.
Lyon takes 8/50 after a monstrous gap, I'll not remark anything other than aberrations happen and that unless he does it regularly enough to sync up with his presently far superior peers he'll always be mediocre in my eyes, and rightly/unarguably so.
TL;DR – Lyon's numbers still blow, and I'm right and you're wrong.

Think positive! How many times do we hear that and think "pfft". Elizabeth Harmon is here to tell us how to turn that "pfft" into a resounding "YES!".
In March of 2015, I had every reason to be on top of the world. I'd achieved my dream of a having my series published by a major New York house, and my debut novel, Pairing Off, had come out. Reviews were glowing, my friends and family were proud, and I was hard at work on my next book.
But the rush of the book's sale, launch and release had left me physically and emotionally exhausted. The published author learning curve was steeper than I'd ever imagined. The money wasn't rolling in. The writing was no easier, only now, I had a deadline to meet. Toss in a bout of pneumonia, and I felt pretty low.
Eventually, I came out from under the cloud, but it was a reality check for how difficult the writing life can be. It also fueled my interest in the growing field of positive psychology, the study of happiness.
First, a disclaimer. This is not a post about coping with depression, nor is it meant to minimize a real and serious condition that affects many people, including writers. A depressed person can't just smile themselves into a new attitude, and should seek treatment.
But positivity does impact how we cope with the day to day ups and downs of the writing life. Rejection letters. Bad reviews. Writers block. Responsibilities that chip away at our writing time.
It's these little (and sometimes not so little) problems that can stifle our muse, ruin our day, and over time, spiral us down into a pit that's much harder to climb out of.
Positive psychology represents a shift from psychology's traditional focus on negative traits and emotions.
Most of us understand that negative emotions, such as fear and aggression, are connected to our survival instincts. But what purpose do positive emotions such as love, joy, gratitude, satisfaction, serenity, and inspiration, serve?
In her book, Positivity, University of North Carolina professor Barbara Frederickson, offers scientific evidence that positive emotions have two powerful purposes: to broaden and build.
Both are vitally important for writers.
The broadening effect opens us to new ideas and experiences, while enhancing our creativity and problem solving. Think how much easier it is to write when you're relaxed, feeling good about your process, and in love with your story.
Words can flow like water. Ideas that bubble up from your subconscious, inspire more ideas. When challenges arise, you feel confident to meet them.
Contrast this with trying to write when you're discouraged, angry, frustrated or envious.
One of my goals has been to become a faster and more prolific author. At RWA2016, I attended every productivity workshop I could. I came away with some good ideas, but also felt discouraged. These successful prolific authors were so much faster than I was, and several had demanding non-writing careers and/or family situations. Initially, I felt like a failure because I couldn't write as fast as they could. But once I shifted my focus from my previous process to my new one, I realized that I was writing faster.
Am I as fast as Author X? Not yet. Am I faster than I was? Definitely!
The building effect of positive emotion helps us connect with others. When we're in a good place emotionally, it's easier to reach out on social media, attend writers' groups and conferences, share our knowledge, and celebrate others' success.
This builds our community and fosters positivity, which builds up others, and fosters more positivity, and on it goes.
Frederickson identifies a positivity ratio of three positive emotions to counteract a single negative one. We can find these small positives everywhere, in our daily interactions, in nature, and doing things we love!
While we've been conditioned to feel guilty about our leisure time, in truth, its essential to helping us stay positive and productive.
As romance writers, we have a unique opportunity not only to build positivity in our lives, but also the lives of others.
"Happy ever after or even just together ever after is not cheesy. It's the noblest, most courageous thing two people can shoot for. "Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell.
Too often, happy endings are dismissed as trivial, cheesy or Hollywood, while love stories that end in tragedy are celebrated for their realism, truth and beauty. Not to take anything away from those stories or the readers who enjoy them, but does that mean that only sad stories are worthwhile?
Absolutely not! Our happy endings give readers that little hit of positivity to help counter the negatives they face, whether it's a major life challenge, or just a crummy day at the office.
For writers who aren't yet published, simply pursuing your passion, can inspire others to pursue theirs, broadening and building them, so that they can do the same for someone else.
In a small way, we're making the world a better place. And that's definitely something to feel positive about!

The first thing she noticed was that yesterday's sad vulnerability was gone. Now his ice-blue eyes were flinty and determined as he strode inside. She remained by the door, hand on the knob, ready to show him the way out. Yet she sensed that sending him away wasn't going to be so easy this time.
"You're too late," he said.
"I beg your pardon?"
"Fifteen years ago some New Zealander became first woman to winter-over solo. Maybe you already know that. Or maybe you don't care, because we both know that's not the real reason you're holed up in here."
She winced. He knew she wasn't being honest, but not to what extent. Burdened by guilt and too deflated for battle, she sighed and leaned against the door. "You're right it isn't."
"Nora..," the gentleness in his voice felt like a caress. "Staying here alone doesn't hurt Herbert Quinn, it only hurts you. And it hurts me too."
"How's that?"
"Because to keep you secret, I have to lie, not just to IFAR, but to the people who work for me. People whose trust I don't take lightly. Staying up here not only puts you in danger, but also them. This what your brilliant boss forgot. Down here, people survive because they depend on each other. If one of the systems failed in bad weather, or you had an accident, computers and Vancouver would be useless. Someone would have to put themselves at risk, and come to help."
Most likely, that someone would be him. Even with blizz lines strung, making such a trip could be life-threatening. Fear tightened her throat as she considered how it would feel to mourn another man she cared about.
"I know you've lost much," he said. "And while I know losing a fiancé is different, I understand the hurt of missing a person I loved dearly."
"That woman who lied to you?" she demanded, shocked and angry.
"No," he said. "Not Natalia. I'm talking about my mother. For a long time, I felt like she was the only person who understood me. But when I came here to Antarctica, I found others like me and a place to belong. In time, the pain was not so bad. Up here all alone, you don't have that."
"No," she whispered.
"Ask yourself if this is what he'd want for you. I don't think it is. I know that if I was gone… and the woman I loved was left behind, this isn't what I'd want for her."
Her fingers twitched on the doorknob, and she thought of ordering him out, but didn't. In her heart, she knew he was right. Even if she weren't drifting through darkened rooms in a ruined wedding gown, she was teetering dangerously close to Miss Havisham territory. In the process, she was putting others in danger. The weather was turning, and soon the months of darkness would come. It was time to decide where she would spend them.

August 2014 - Norwegian Epic to Europe - Western Mediterranean
We really enjoyed this cruise. The whole itinerary was beautiful. The cruise ship was in pretty good shape. The rooms were great we stayed at the family suite stateroom and it was great the carpeting could use some replacement and movement within the room was a little difficult as it's tight but other than that everything was wonderful. We would have really liked to have halal options on the cruise ship since there weren't many vegetarian options we got stuck eating a liot of fish thourhgout the cruise trip which got boring after sometime.
The activities were great, we really enjoyed the cirque dream show, although the blue man group wasn't that great.

Bosch Was28461Gb Soap Drawer Leak On Hot Washes
njw posted a topic in UK Washing Machine Repair QuestionsHi, I've a brand new Bosch WAS28461GB Logixx 8 that leaks from the soap draw (from both underneath and from the handle). It only seems to do this on 60 and 90 degree washes. I've called Bosch twice. The first response "was the draw closed?". Er, YES. The second time I was advised to turn the inlet tap off a little to lower the water pressure. Didnt work, but in any case the installation manual says to have an inlet pressure of 1-10bar. My water pressure is 2.5bar. The machine is levelled correctly. I cannot see any blockages (if I open the draw a little during fills, all 3 sections of the draw fill freely. I can only assume its condensation from the hot washes. The entire underside of the draw if you remove it is wet/dripping. On 90deg washes especially, the handle area of the draw is normally very wet when you put your hand inside. I cant help but feel this is a design flaw - and that the handle should be sealed from the inside of the draw (not just an open cut out) and a rubber seal around the draw edge too. Is this "normal"? For a £500 machine, it doesnt seem normal or right to me. But if its a common thing I dont want to go through the hassle of returning it and getting another machine only to have the same problem. My 10yr old Bosch this replaced never did this. Thanks, Nick.

India's Yuki Bhambri marched into the semi-finals of men's singles tennis event with a commanding display but compatriot Sanam Singh was knocked out after losing his quarter-final match of the 17th Asian Games Saturday. (Medal Tally)
Bhambri, seeded fourth, took an hour and 13 minutes to dispose off Danai Udomchoke of Thailand 6-3, 6-2 to set up a semi-final match against fifth seeded Japanese Yoshihito Nishioka.
The Thai player, though, fought well as Bhambri was made to work hard for his points. The Indian took the first set 6-3 in 40 minutes to take a 1-0 lead. (Indian Squash Men's Team wins Historic Gold)
Bhambri upped his game in the second and won the set 6-2 in 33 minutes. (Historic Saturday for India: Here's Why)
The other Indian in the draw, Sanam, though, failed to replicate his compatriot. (Archer Abhishek Verma Wins Historic Gold)
The 10th seeded Indian up against the top seed Yen-Hsun Lu of Chinese Taipei put up a valiant fight but in the end lost 6-7 (3-7), 4-6 in straight sets in an hour and 37 minutes to exit the Asiad.
Sanam gave the top seed a major fright and made him sweat for every point.
The 26-year-old Indian took the first set into tie-break and finally lost 6-7 (3-7) in 56 minutes.
Sanam's serve was broken for the first time in the second set and that proved to be the difference as the Taipei player wrapped up the set 6-4 in 41 minutes.

Recover Your Losses Caused by a Truck Accident
A truck accident involving a semi or tractor-trailer can have serious and disastrous consequences. Negligence of the truck drivers on the highways and roadways can lead to these serious collisions involving the truck with a smaller vehicle. The driver and/or passengers of the smaller vehicle usually sustain the major injuries and can sometimes even lose their lives as a result of the accident.
A Philadelphia truck car accident lawyer can help you to recover financial damages for your losses. He or she will work with you to estimate the total cost of your medical bills, treatments, earnings lost, and suffering. A Philadelphia truck car accident lawyer will take your case through trial or negotiate the best possible out-of-court settlement on your behalf.
An experienced Philadelphia truck car accident lawyer knows the challenges you face and he or she will support you in your physical and emotional recovery. In addition, he or she will fight to maximize your financial reward for damages. It is only fair that you be compensated justly for your injuries.
Truck accident cases are different from standard automobile accident cases. Commercial trucks are subject to certain strict federal rules and regulations. Often, accidents are the result of ignoring these rules. A less experienced personal injury lawyer – particularly someone who does not have experience in commercial truck accident cases specifically – may not be aware of these additional regulations that play into the outcome of your case. You can bet that the trucking company will hire very experienced attorneys to represent them, so why shouldn't you?
If you or your family member has sustained a serious injury in an accident, you may be under financial strain already and believe that hiring an attorney is simply something you cannot afford. It's common, however, for a Philadelphia personal injury attorney to offer his or her services on a contingency fee basis. This means that the attorney agrees to take on your case at no up front cost to you. You will not be required to pay attorney fees, in fact, until after you have received your financial award. If the case is unsuccessful and the attorney is unable to earn you compensation, you owe the attorney nothing in fees. This makes the cost of Philadelphia personal injury attorney affordable to those who wouldn't otherwise have the financial means to file a personal injury suit.
Check with the Law Offices of Robert W. Sink if you determine that you would like to hire a Philadelphia personal injury attorney to move forward with your claim. Attorneys at the firm are experienced with truck accident cases and have won substantial awards for their clients. You can learn more by visiting www.sinklawoffices.com.

Up to 40 children have died after being injected with a measles vaccine.
The Measles Task Force, which is currently vaccinating children in the Idlip Province of Syria has "temporarily suspended" its measles vaccination programme after the deaths of up to 40 children.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that is urgently investigating the situation, calling it "extremely concerning" news. There are growing fears that the child death toll could rise.
The WHO was quick to downplay suggestions that agents of the Assad regime could have deliberately contaminated the vaccine. A spokesman said: "At this stage all possible causes to these tragic deaths are pure speculation. There could potentially be a whole range of possible reasons leading to the injury and deaths of these children. We have not ruled out tampering, but it is unlikely."
The Idlip provinces is among the few areas under the control of rebel forces, but whether the cause of death is deliberate or accidental contamination or human error has yet to be established. The WHO is finding it difficult to investigate because of the the region's dangerous security situation.
The WHO spokesman said "The biggest challenge is to get first hand-hand information because at the moment we are relying on second-hand information. We need people on the ground. Normally this would take one or two days but the situation in Syria makes this challenging."
The vaccination programme aims to protect 1.6 million Syrian children from measles; local health authorities reported that 60,000 children have already been successfully vaccinated with the same vaccine batch. The WHO said that this meant that only a small number of vaccine vials had been affected, because there was a relatively low death rate in relation to the number of children unaffected by vaccination.

con't from above........
Informed sources told the Palestinian al-Manar weekly that Israeli, Saudi, Turkish and Qatari intelligence officers, backed by the US, have infiltrated into Syria via the Turkish borders, adding that each spying cell is comprised of 16 agents.
According to the sources, the main goal of the intelligence groups is gathering intelligence, specially in the form of footage and images, from Syria's sensitive and important sites, the country's military grid and power in particular.
The spying cells have also been provided with a list of Syria's prominent scientists and experts in different fields to kidnap and assassinate them, the sources said, elaborating on the mission of the multinational espionage operations underway in Syria.
Al-Manar had also earlier reported that Saudi Arabia and Qatar have been financing and supplying armed rebels in Syria with more explosive materials they have recently purchased from the US, Israel and UK in a bid to help the terrorists carry out their anti-government operations in the Arab country.
Saudi Arabia and Qatar have smuggled the explosives to Syria with the assistance of the intelligence services of the Arab country's neighboring countries, including Turkey, the al-Manar quoted informed security sources as saying in December.
The sources also disclosed that there are special terrorist garrisons in Turkey which are administered by the security officers of Israel and western countries.
So far, several sources have disclosed that Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been financing and dispatching terrorists in Syria and smuggle weapons to the crisis-hit country for campaign against Assad's government.
Reports coming from Syria in mid 2012 said that Saudi Arabia and Qatar in collaboration with the US and Britain have set up a secret command center in Turkey to supply the terrorists in Syria with military and communications aid to seize control of Aleppo city from the Syrian government.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
In October 2011, calm was eventually restored in the Arab state after President Assad started a reform initiative in the country, but Israel, the US and its Arab allies are seeking hard to bring the country into chaos through any possible means. Tel Aviv, Washington and some Arab capitals have been staging various plots in the hope of increasing unrests in Syria.
The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-Assad's government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.
According to the report, material is being stockpiled in Damascus, in Idlib near the Turkish border and in Zabadani on the Lebanese border.
Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons - most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past - has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar.

This is unbelievable about Jews and their Hypocrisy.....!
A HOLOCAUST survivor jailed for his part in a 6.9 million money laundering scam was yesterday freed as "an act of mercy", because a lying Holocaust thieve get a Free out of jail card.
While in prison Mendel Rand, 87, had suffered nightmares and flashbacks to his wartime ordeal, so they set him free.
As a boy in Krakow, Poland, he had hidden from the Nazis in dark cellars with little food.
Mr Rand, from Golders Green, North London, had his 18-month jail term replaced with a suspended sentence at the Court of Appeal in London.
You have to hand it to the likes of Simon Wiesenthal creepers, all that deprivation and malnourishment actually appears to have a beneficial effect on their longevity and ability to engage in deceptions at an age when many are forced to retire, that's because they arespawned liars..
So under Zionist rule it's okay for a political dissident like Ernst Zundel, 67, to undergo more than 4 years' solitary confinement before even being convicted of a "thought crime" ofa Holohoax by Jews and sentenced to an additional 5 years, whereas a convicted fraudster from the Hasidic Jewish community (which is linked to the torture and sacrifice of Christian children in Waar World 2) is released after serving a mere five weeks, when the Court of Appeal commutes his 18-month prison term to a two-year suspended sentence.
To be fair to Rand, his crime was linked to a cigarette smuggling operation and was relatively victimless. Smokers would obtain goods without having to pay the State its percentage. Although an oversimplification, when individuals spend their own money on themselves, they will on average spend it more wisely and more to the public good than States who are spending other people's money allegedly for the 'benefit' of other people. Governments "invest" taxpayers' money in a combination of good or dubious (public services) and obvious evil (wars).
And unlike some, Rand's account of his wartime experiences does not appear to include obvious lies such as tales about escaping from "gas chambers" - three times in succession!
Mendel Rand was the "accountant"; the operation was masterminded by Brian John Beck, who had Jewish blood on his father's side.
The Rand case does help to illustrate double or even treble standards, with one law for the favored few, one law for the rest, and another law for those who expose the deceptions and criminality of the favored few.

One must realise that the so-called war on terror was a phoney all along. In Orwell's book 1984, there is alwasys a war in the East and the people must tighten their belt and obey Big Brother and accept restriction on their freedom (Patriot Act, Homeland Security, etc. All these so-called war lead to a police state. When the US Govt buy hollow point ammo for internal security and use drones to spy on its citizen, you know how far the process has gone. But to have a war on terror, you need terrorists. So you create them. In other words you control both sides of the coin and pretend to ban those terrorist organisation while all the time being the controller. Then you create chaos in some other country to justify intervention
of course in order "to help free the people of those countries", and give them the blessings of "democracy". And of course, the whole world applauds when the "bad guys" are defeated. That is what happened in South Africa and what is happening in the Middle East at present.
The results;

Strangely he is not even mentionned by any historian at the time and in all probability never even existed. He was a composite of all the gods at the time, all born of a Virgin on 25th December and all had 12 apostles (the sun and the twelve signs of the Zodiac). In 325 at the Council of Nicea, the blood soaked Constantine invited all religions, pagan and christian, to the partty, and taking what was common to all and blending it, Christianity was born. Noboddy, except some gospels which contradict each other, mentionned the greatest even in human history. And those gospels were written some 200 years after the alleged fact. Strange indeed!

The truth is, despite the awful history of 'Christianity'... Christ existed and there's enough evidence out there. But also the evidence in the letters of Paul and other biblical sources is fairly compelling... Faith may be required for the faint of heart.

Josephus of course refutes your argument entirely, some of his work is by authors using his name but the consistency is beyond question as a historical heritage.
I don't know of any accredited body challenging the over all relevance of Flavius
the Antiquities is a good starting point if you want to try.
Josephus says about Christ. " was he a man? we don't know"
Josephus was agnostic.
200 years your on your own their. The authenticity, of every Book and the letters is within the confines of the claimed authors lives. The Old and New Testimonies are the most professionally researched manuscripts on the planet.
Another thing Flavius says is. "the Temple was destroyed because God so loved James, the brother of Jesus."

i'm just a peaceful, righteous loving human being who was brought up to be honest and compassionate, and i must state for the record as to the TRUTHS AND FACTS of real reality, that terrorist Jews are very evil occultist' creatures and i'm warned in the Holy Bible in Titus 1-14 in the new Testament not to pay any attention to occultist Talmudic Jewish Fables, because Jews are injurious gluttonous swine that personified evilness and wickedness to the highest degree.
Evil Untermenschen Jews have no rights whatsoever in Palestine on land they stole by Holocaust Terrorism tactics.
Fugitive War Crime Jews in Palestine, belong in front of an International War Crime Tribunal and should have been convicted long ago of Crimes against Humanity and the Tribunal should have deliver their evil fate and curly tail arses to rot on Devil Island,where they would be monitored 24/7..

Great post.. and it's about time Americans woke up to the facts and Truths of these grubbing leeching parasites, who have immunity and impunity for their endless War Crimes in Palestine and in USA Hallways in Washington.
O' how Jewish terrorist grubbing greedy parasites infuriates us Americans Taxpayers. We're supporting demonized crazes devilish Jews' evil atrocities against Humanity, and that making us Americans WAR CRIME CRIMINALS TOO, by our taxpaying support!

'Graft still big challenge' to development
Our Correspondent
CHITTAGONG, Mar 18: Despite improvement in the corruption index of the country due to different steps taken by the government graft still poses a big challenge to development, a seminar has been told.

The seminar on New Global Development Agenda: Peace and Security, Human Rights and Governance was organised at a hotel in the port city on Saturday.
Citizens' Platform for SDG Bangladesh, in association with the Community Development Centre (CODEC) and the Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) organised it.
Chittagong City Mayor AJM Nasir Uddin spoke on the occasion as the chief guest while East Delta University vice chancellor Professor Sekander Khan and eminent educationist Professor Ferdous Ara Aleem spoke as special guests.

Dr. Iftekharuzzaman, executive director of the TIB and Core Group member of the Citizens' Platform, presented the keynote paper at the session.

This article was written by Paul Piotrowski
- Shopify is up 66% after the first couple of trading days
- Like other e-commerce names, Shopify is showing great top line growth, but no earnings
- Shopify multiples are unjust, even by the high valuation standards of e-commerce industry
Canadian tech company, Shopify (SHOP), was the hot IPO of last week. Despite a prospectus IPO price of $17, the stock soared out of the gate closing at $25.68 on Thursday, and further increasing to $28.31 on Friday. That's a 66% increase in the first two days of trading. Such a strong opening has the company valued at ~$1.9B. Skeptics are claiming that the company is sporting a steep valuation given it is losing money. There is, however a reason, for the hype.
Shopify has seen very strong top line revenue growth in the last 3 years, hovering around 110%. Based on Q1 2015 revenue of $37.34M, Shopify is expected to continue its trend of doubling revenue year over year.
Even with strong revenue growth, earnings have remained negative and operating margins have been steadily declining. A strong contributing factor of this has been the increasing SG&A costs. The increased spending in sales & marketing alongside research & development emphasizes the company's commitment to continue expanding and growing their top line revenue, however they will need to make improvements to efficiencies if they wish to reverse the trend in their operating margins.
Shopify is a SaaS solution that helps establish online businesses and provide retail point-of-sale systems for both online and offline companies. It operates in a growing e-commerce/software market and faces a lot of competition.
Looking at the comparables, the e-commerce companies have placed greater significance on growth rather than profitability. Shopify's EV/Gross Profit ratio recognizes this trend. While the ratio does imply healthy gross margins for the company it is still quite high relative to the competition. Overall Shopify is currently trading at a premium with 15.5x sales, which is the highest amongst this list. While it's important to note that the majority of Shopify's direct competitors are still privately held companies, amongst current e-commerce and software companies Shopify is expensive.
At its prospectus share price of $17, Shopify is valued at a more reasonable 9.28x sales. While Shopify is an intriguing pick due to its very impressive revenue growth, the hype surrounding its IPO has priced it quite high at the moment. This is a not a company for the faint of heart and more risk-averse investors would be wise to wait it out on this one. If the price falls back down closer to the prospectus range, Shopify could be a good growth prospect, but until then I'm staying away.

Hi all,
I have a bad sound experience with my 55ES700.
The problem is that the sound is low when playing content directly from the hdmi deco. It is strange because sometimes (effects, music) increases but become lower again in the dialogs.
But the thing that drives me crazy is that it sounds perfect when displaying the same content with a raspberry pi and openelec (hdmi) !!!
Using a usb drive also sounds low playing content.
Any ideas where the problem is? could it be tuned through any configuration parameter?
Many thanks in advance

Medical Track
The Young Judaea Year Course Medical Track offers an interactive educational program along with hands-on experience on the ground (for those who choose to volunteer with Magen David Adom). Meet leading health professionals, work with Israeli paramedics, participate in tours and workshops and find out what it takes to become a member of this special group of individuals who devote their lives to saving others.
Some of the Medical Track highlights include:
Exploring many aspects of the professional medical field in Israel in an interactive and hands on way.
Learning about what it takes to become a top medical professional from Israel's best.
Experiencing Israel as a forefront of medical practice, research, and technology worldwide.
Becoming familiarized with humanitarian issues and aspects of Israel and Jewish contemporary life.
Gaining hands-on experience via Magen David Adom in Tel Aviv-Yafo (if you choose to take part in this)- to experience the work of first responders through a ten day course followed by five weeks of volunteering on Israeli ambulances.
Studying Jewish medical ethics and see its realization in Israeli hospitals
Participating in weekly enrichment activities throughout the year as well as 2 overnight trips- participants are also eligible for three college credits.
No prior experience in the field of medicine is needed in order to be a participant on this program- just a desire to contribute to the field and to explore a possible medical career!
A basic level of conversational Hebrew (you will need to pass a Hebrew oral test prior to the beginning of the program) is required for participating in the MDA volunteering portion.
Note: Volunteering with MDA during the Tel Aviv-Yafo semester is not required and is not exclusive to the medical track. You may participate on the medical track and choose to participate in Marva or to volunteer in Tel Aviv-Yafo without the MDA portion, and you may volunteer with MDA without being on the medical track. However, If you are interested in the MDA portion, being registered for the medical track will give you priority since space is limited.
