In the past, I've talked a lot about how to write and rewrite a fiction novel manuscript. But unless you're doing it just for the LOLz, you probably have aspirations of someday being published. Now, you might decide that self-publishing is the right thing for you. And that may or may not be true. It's certainly been right for me to this point. But at some point, you may find yourself asking, "What are literary agents, and what can they do for me?"
Even if you want to maintain your independence and continue down the self-publishing road, answering those questions for yourself can serve to validate your decision to maintain your indie-lifestyle.
What are Literary Agents?
Literary agents have several main roles:
- Select saleable manuscripts. Bear in mind that well under 1% of all submitted manuscripts are strong enough to sell.
- Work with the author to get the manuscript in…

What are different phases of Azure Migration
What are different phases of Azure Migration
In this blog post I will explain you about, What are different phases of Azure Migration I will try to be as short as possible while explaining things and make sure you get the crust of the entire topic in this same very page.
Azure Migration can be boiled down to three main phases as shown below
Phase 1: Iaas (Infrastructure as a Service)
Phase 2: Paas (Platform as a Service)
Phase 3: SaaS(Software as a Service)
In the initial phase where your management has decided to move to cloud to save more on operational costs Its always advisable to move your on-prem infrastructure step by step. It can again be done parallel with the help of asynchronous replication to your cloud data center.
In the diagram below I will show you the terms used for each stage of migration, such as Re-host, Refactor, Re-architect, Rebuild and Replace.
Now Lets understand about each stage in a little more detail:
Re-host is also known as "lift and shift" stage. In this stage you migrate your physical servers and virtual machine as-it-is to the cloud by simply shifting your current server environment straight to IaaS. As you see in the picture on your right you can see only the operating system and the hardware is something which is managed by the cloud provider <Azure> and rest of the things like app data, code, app configuration, app platform and containers are still maintained and managed by you this is the most popular migration approach and it lets the organization move quickly with little risk. In the next stage will talk about Refactor stage.
Refactor stage is also known as "repackage", in this stage two more services are used from Azures stack to optimize the cost. as you will see in the picture on your right you are using containers and App platform apart from OS and the hardware by making some minor changes in your application code or configuration which lets you connect your application to new infrastructure services such as containers, database and identity management systems.
Rearchitect stage is also known as "redesigning" when you say redesigning it means you're redesigning the application to modernize it using a modular architecture. As you will notice on your right in the previous stage we were just updating the code and application configuration however, in this rearchitect stage we are getting a new code and app configuration. however, the hardware operating system containers an app platform would be managed by the cloud provider and rest API error code in app configuration would be managed by you.
In this stage customer tend to revise the existing application by aggressively adopting PaaS or even SaaS. In this process major revisions are done to add new functionality in the application for the cloud.
This stage refers to moving or discarding existing application and replacing it with Azure services. When you choose this option, all underlying infrastructure are managed by Azure, see the picture on your right for detail.

Struggling for Control
Control has been at the heart of your relationship dramas. Each of you wanted to hold the whip, to be the one who set the agenda for your pairing. But you both struggled against what you viewed as the threat emanating from each other.
You wanted to be the boss, the parent, demanding and receiving unquestioning obedience from a partner who was secondary to you in every way. But of course you didn't choose a partner who was comfortable in the sidekick role. You may have thought you were in control, but it's more likely that your partner was letting you believe what you liked in order to maneuver you into some direction or another. In short, you were probably being manipulated, whether you knew it or not.Consider the other side of the coin. One of the reasons your pairings were such a struggle is that you picked strong, even matches -- a trend that is likely to continue in your next relationship. In the best of all worlds, neither partner will let the other rule, and that's a good thing. The challenge keeps things exciting, and you know you're with someone you can respect, an equal who'll be able to stand up to you in the long haul. And in the long run that's more important to you than ease and contentment.

Ofcom 2300 and 3400 MHz ham radio bands statement/
Ofcom has published a statement on the amateur radio use of spectrum in the 2.3 GHz and 3.4 GHz bands
Following a consultation last year, Ofcom has decided to remove from the Amateur Radio Licence all frequencies in these bands which overlap with those planned for award (2350 to 2390 and 3410 to 3475 MHz) , giving amateurs at least twelve months' notice of this intention.
Ofcom has also decided to retain amateur access to the adjacent bands, and put in place a procedure to enable these frequencies to be removed from the Amateur Radio Licence if necessary in future.
Ofcom has been required by the Ministry of Defence to implement measures to ensure the MoD's systems are adequately protected from interference from amateur uses in both the release and adjacent bands. Today's statement therefore contains guidance from Ofcom with which amateur users must comply, with immediate effect, when using these frequencies.
Amateur users of the 2310 to 2350 MHz band are requested to register their use and provide contact details to Ofcom. Details are provided in today's statement.

Debt consolidation is a process by which you can take one loan to pay off multiple debts. Debt consolidation loans help borrowers in two ways. Firstly, the rate of interest on the consolidated loan is much lower than that of the accumulated rate of interest on their multiple debts. Secondly, by bringing all the debts together, this program helps borrowers to keep track of all their debts in an easier fashion.
Once a borrower signs up for such a program, the debt specialists start negotiating rates with creditors. Needless to mention, this option is primarily availed by borrowers who are facing some financial hardship owing to which they find it difficult to make their repayments on time. A debt consolidation lawyer assumes a very important role in the entire procedure. You cannot really expect your creditors to be driven by the best of your interests in mind in the whole negotiation process. It is the debt consolidation attorney who will be focused on reducing your debts as much as possible. Given below are a few reasons why you should consider roping in a debt negotiation attorney.
Reasons for getting in touch with a debt consolidation attorney
The collection agencies are quite experienced when it comes to negotiating settlements. All the year round, these collection agencies speak to hundreds of customers who are not able to repay their loans on time. So, it is very difficult to make them bend when they are negotiating. However, the scenario becomes quite different with a debt negotiation attorney by your side. When these collection agencies carry on discussions with the attorneys they are fully aware of the fact that they need to take the matter more seriously and as such they are bound to offer you the flexibility that you deserve as a borrower.
Please remember that negotiations can get quite intense and stressful. This will definitely hurt the overall quality of your life. A lawyer can prevent this from happening as they have the knowledge of the loopholes of the collection agencies (which laymen, in general do not have). They will apply their high pressure tactics without fail in order to ensure that your rights as a consumer are not flouted.
Choose an attorney wisely
Please ensure that you are selecting the attorney wisely. Choose an individual like Alex Spiro, or a company with accreditation to the Chamber of Commerce (USA). The accreditation implies that the company is a legitimate one and will work keeping the best of your interests in view.

Today has been a sad day.
My day started early at 4am in time to get a shared lift to the airport for my flight to Quito. Christine got up to say goodbye to me which was really emotional. We have been together for six weeks and we have had such a great time. We have formed a firm friendship and I know we will stay in touch, we just weren't ready for this bit to end!
The flight was delayed by 40 minutes and then was so turbulent I had no chance whatsoever of getting any sleep, so I have gradually been getting more and more ridiculously tired.
On arrival in Quito the sun was shining. At passport control I had a lovely gentleman stamp my passport, complimenting my beautiful eyes (wahey!) and wishing me a great time in Ecuador. I was then picked up by a lovely local guy who couldn't tell me enough of the exciting things to do in Ecuador. It started to whet my appetite and lift some of the sullen mood.
On arrival at the hostel the nerves started…. I was remembering the bad experience I had back in Argentina. This further worsened when I found out hardly anyone was staying at the hostel….atleast I am almost guaranteed a good night right?!
The nerves and negativity continued when the "induction guide" turned up to talk to me about the volunteering. It sounds as though I am going to be volunteering on my own at this rate! I am hoping it is a translation issue and people will be there too…..
I was struggling to find anything positive. The work doesn't sound like I was lead to believe and I won't have as much free time to explore the islands as I thought. Add to that, a last minute equipment list that I seem to be missing a lot of, it is safe to say the dark cloud was further descending.
I decided it was time to call home for a pick me up and to try and find the supermarket for a few snacks and a drink as I hadn't eaten since 5am at the airport. My brother is good at picking me out of the misery bucket and kicking my butt into a more positive frame of mind aka. tough love! He was just what I needed.
Feeling in a better frame of mind I decided to walk to the nearest park make some other calls and take in the sunshine and local people. Sat happily underneath a tree a local guy approached me trying to make conversation. I was on my guard but didn't want to be too anti….you never know what life might offer you with a bit if positivity right?!
By the end of the conversation he had made a protection eye ear cuff that he wanted to give me as a gift because I was pretty and he hoped to see my face again. I felt like maybe my luck was changing and I should try and keep a positive vibe going!
It is honestly like I purposely tempt fate and challenge it to wipe the smile off my face! 20 minutes later, mid-video call someone tried to steal my phone. My saving grace was having headphones attached. As they slapped it from my hands, the wire got tangled and stopped them from gripping it as they ran past, which gave me chance to! What an idiot I am….I guess you could see the positive and say I am so darn lucky they didn't get my phone.
With all good feelings gone, I left and headed back to the hostel to hide out in my room where I could be angry at myself and generally sad at the day. Not the best start to Quito.
Tomorrow is another day. Another day where I will be less tired and emotional and will find the positives.

Hospitality Announce Merge Records Debut
Published Oct 14, 2011Since 2007, New York-based Hospitality has grown from a bedroom pop experiment to a full-fledged band, and the outfit are ready to let us in on the evolution via their upcoming self-titled debut.
A press release from label Merge Records, who will issue the band's first full-length on January 31, heralds the band's "angular, intricate, and intelligent compositions," which signal "a sophisticated new pop voice," namely that of leader Amber Papini. According to Merge, her "idiosyncratic songwriting and incisive lyrics coupled with the band's rich arrangements on their self-titled debut explore youth, New York, and the bittersweet commingling of past and present in a way that feels just right, right now."
Hospitality showcases her skills via the swingin', horn-indebted indie jangle of "Friends of Friends," which you can stream below. Lyrically, songs like "Betty Wang" dish on financial day jobs, while centrepiece "Julie" was based on Papini's great-grandfather's life as a Pennsylvania coal miner.
Though reprising songs off the troupe's self-released 2008 EP, the glitzy new record, recorded by Shane Stoneback (Vampire Weekend, Sleigh Bells) and band member Nathan Michel (guitar, drums, keyboards), moves the band "from four-track low-fidelity to a luxury five-star future."
You can see the album cover above and the tracklist below.
In support of the new record, Hospitality will be playing a couple of shows with new labelmates Wild Flag, Eleanor Friedberger and the Rosebuds. Regrettably, none of the dates are in Canada, but you can still check out the schedule below.

Boo's Philly Cheesesteak Los Angeles: The Best Cheesesteak You Should Not Afford to Miss
Every culture has their very own iconic brand, and in the case of Philadelphia, it really is possible you have heard of the name cheesesteak. It really is great to have these things considered because chances are that you will most likely see this to be an attraction from its neighboring cities and state. In this article, we will be discussing more about Boos Philly cheesesteak Los Angeles.
It is very important you are to make sure you get to understand how it all boils down to what we have today in order for you to see a rather more intimate understanding on its origin. If you are going to look into the entire idea of the food, you will see that this basically has three main ingredients, which is the onion, cheese, and beef. Over the years, it is very possible that you get to find a number of variations put forward and to find one that is as good as Boos Philly cheesesteak Los Angeles will surely be great. In a way, you will most likely see that there are so many things that composes today's cheesesteak and these things range greatly from a plethora of ingredients such as that of saut?ed mushroom, ketchup, fried onions, ketchup, and the list just goes on. Furthermore, you could also find such being topped with mayonnaise, lettuce, as well as tomato, respectively.
As per how it all went down to what we have today, it all started back in the 1930s, where, Pat Olivieri has decided to grill some beef from a butcher and decided to have it placed on an Italian roll. Regardless that Pat Olivieri was a hot dog vendor back in south Philadelphia, a cab driver has whiffed the aroma and asked for a steak sandwich.
Since that day on, the very popularity and the taste of the steak sandwich traveled faster that drivers from all over the city swarmed Olivieri. As the days gone by, Olivieri decided to open up Pat's King of Steaaks on the 9th street and Passyunk Avenue. In the 40s, Pat's manager, Joe Lorenzo, then decided to add the cheese into the mix.
Since then on, Boos Philly cheesesteak Los Angeles has attracted tourists from the neighboring cities and has been drawn to the culture and origin of the place. Even if there are so many who had tried and attempted to replicate the taste and the grandeur of Boos Philly cheesesteak Los Angeles, only a few rare people have been successful.
The very popularity of the Boos Philly cheesesteak Los Angeles has been so high that high-end restaurants are serving them to their customers and guests, respectively. Should you plan to get your order and have a taste of the original Boos Philly cheesesteak Los Angeles, then be sure you have your mind made up since you don't like to be thrown back to the queue because you are confused and unsure as to what you would like to get at the end of the day.

Coronene suggested as a useful method to study graphene oxide
Researchers from Brazil suggest a new way to study the changes generated by oxygenated groups inGraphene Oxide using Coronene as a model molecule.
The researcher ran several experiments and measurements on a series of functionalized coronene molecules, and say that these results provide useful data for the analysis of IR and Raman spectra of GO. The researcher say that the Coronene could provide a useful model to study GO features.
Last year it was reported that Coronene can be used as nucleation seeds for graphene synthesis using a low temperature CVD process - which greatly improves the homogeneity of the monolayer graphene.
Coronene is now offered in high quality (97% purity) and relatively low cost online at The Graphene Supermarket.

John Wesley is of course well known as a founder of Methodism and writer of sermons; less well known is this medical work. His uncle was a physician; and his Puritan great grandfather had, on being thrown out of his parish after the 1660 restoration, studied theology and medicine at Oxford, thereafter retaining his independence by practising medicine.
Wesley's preface to the first edition of Primitive Physic is 14 pages, much of it of a religious nature. His purpose was to give advice, including on saving money, and it includes a …

Home is where dreams take shape and lifelong memories are created. As William Shakespeare said, "When I was at home, I was in a better place." Yet for some people who live with chronic pain, life can be challenging at home. They may find that the layout of their house or apartment can cause additional struggles and painful moments.
A more accessible home can create fewer physical obstacles and make daily living easier. Simple improvements allow individuals to feel more empowered and independent in their own homes. Modifying a home to make it more comfortable is not always easy, but many simple and cost-effective tips can help.
"The changes that make the most difference are usually the simplest," says Giuli Krug, PhD, OTR/L, director of graduate and clinical education and associate clinical professor in the department of occupational therapy at the University of Missouri in Columbia.
For nearly three decades, Krug has treated countless people with chronic pain and always advises them to simplify their lives. "Use kitchen utensils that are easy to grip, don't have furniture that is too soft, which is bad for posture, and make sure you pick a good bed for better sleep hygiene," she says. "These are just a few things that can be done at home to help individuals who suffer from chronic pain."
Keep it simple
Melanie Harari embraces the mantra "the simpler, the better." She lives in Los Angeles and has suffered from chronic migraines for the past seven years and vertigo more recently. She has set up her home, which she shares with her husband and two children, so that it's more convenient for her when she is dealing with an attack.
"When my migraines hit, I have very little energy, and everyday tasks become monumental," Harari says. "With young kids, though, life doesn't stop when I'm in pain, so I've had to organize my home to require as few decisions as possible."
Harari has created a home environment that is extremely pared down. She packed up a lot of knickknacks and got rid of a lot of stuff. This means less cleaning and easier maintenance. "My vertigo can make me unsteady at times, too, so it's good to have fewer things I could bump into or knock over."
Preventative medications don't work for her, so she treats each attack as it comes on with medication and ice packs. Harari has a migraine kit that she keeps in a bag on her bedside table. It contains medicine and earplugs, and she places a glass of water next to her bed at night. "I always keep the kit in the same place. I would sometimes lie awake at night with a migraine, trying to summon the energy to go to the bathroom and get my medications and a glass of water. Having them handy means I treat the pain faster."
Personalized approach
There are changes you can make in your home environment to help you manage and avoid pain, says Penney Cowan, founder and CEO of the American Chronic Pain Association. Cowan, who has lived with pain for more than 40 years, says it's important to figure out what meets your specific needs.
"Many years ago, my doctors told me not to move, but I realized movement was good for me and that I really liked the exercise from walking up stairs in my two-story home," she says. "Everyone thinks they need to move to a one-floor home if they have pain issues, but that's not necessarily the case for all individuals."
For Gwenn Herman, living on one floor has made a big difference. She and her family moved from the Maryland suburbs to Tucson, Arizona, and bought a one-floor house. At the time, she was using a wheelchair after she was knocked over by a large dog and fractured her knee. The accident left her in a leg brace for weeks and unable to get around for several months. "My husband had to do everything because I wasn't able to put any weight on my leg," says Herman, who is the U.S. Pain Foundation's pain connection clinical director.
Herman's family installed a ramp leading into the house. The bathroom shower didn't have a tub, but it did have a step, so they needed a shower chair so she could sit down. "These little things made a huge difference in making things more convenient for me while I was recovering," she adds.
Basic improvements
Several recommended changes and upgrades are easy and straightforward. Adding grab bars, handrails, and non-slip flooring throughout a house is inexpensive and not difficult. They usually can be installed in an afternoon by a family member or a handyman. Other interior changes could include lowering cabinets and sinks or moving thermostats or light switches to a lower height to make them easier to reach. "There are so many considerations, but based on the type of pain disability, that will dictate each individual's needs," says Krug.
For some, stair lifts may be necessary. Other considerations are widening halls and doorways, especially for people who use wheelchairs. The costs for such projects can run the gamut, so it's important to identify licensed contractors. Talk to your contractor about the project and your budget, and together you can come up with a customized solution for your situation.
Elevators might be an option for some individuals even though they are cost prohibitive for most. Tom Norris of Los Angeles still considers adding an elevator to his 4,000-square-foot home, even though he has gained greater mobility.
He was confined to bed for several years after he was given too much radiation to treat testicular cancer. As his situation and pain got worse, he became dependent on opioids, and Norris and his wife considered moving. "I didn't want to leave our home because I love it here so much," he says. "The thought of leaving our home motivated me to get better."
Norris is now able to get around a bit easier and has enough energy to facilitate four pain support groups through the American Chronic Pain Association in Sacramento, California, and one phone support group through Senior Center Without Walls, affiliated with the Episcopal Senior Communities.
Kitchen & bathroom makeover
The kitchen is considered the heart of most homes and thus should be given special attention for better accessibility. "It's so important to set up a kitchen for convenience and easy access to kitchen items," says Krug. "Simple things like automatic can openers and knives and utensils with larger handles so there's less force on the joints can make the biggest difference."
Krug adds that shoulder and hip injuries can limit range of motion, so switching to lighter pots, pans, bowls, and other equipment can really help.
Setting up a kitchen that suited her needs was really important to Mary Beth Lewis, who suffers from complex regional pain syndrome. Her condition resulted from a surgery when doctors attempted to bury a nerve that had scar tissue from a previous ankle operation. When the scar tissue was removed, an additional nerve injury occurred. She now lives with a spinal cord stimulator that helps control the pain, but mobility makes the pain flare up, so she uses a wheelchair most of the time.
Lewis, who rents a house in Rockville, Maryland, with her husband and two teenage children, puts regularly used plates and food items in a cabinet that is easy for her to access. "The kitchen cabinets are higher than average in our house, so it is really difficult for me to reach," she explains. "I can stand a little but use my wheelchair a lot, so we put in lower cabinets where I can get to everything so much better."
In Norris's house, the kitchen was already wide enough to move around in his wheelchair. He and his wife added higher chairs and stools that allow him to sit and help prepare meals. "I may not be very mobile, but I still want to participate in life."
The bathroom can be the most challenging for individuals with chronic pain. Are there grab bars near the shower, tub, toilet, and sink? Some individuals will lower or raise the toilet to make it safer for use. Walk-in tubs, which sometimes fit into existing bath areas, offer a safer bathing experience. For the wheelchair-bound, a roll-in shower allows for easier access but can cost more money to redo.
Exterior modifications
One of the most common improvements is adding a wheelchair ramp to increase access from the outside. Most homes have steps or a threshold to maneuver that could be a hazard. Talk to a contractor to come up with a customized ramp solution to help you get into your home with ease.
Other key exterior modifications include clean, smooth pathways that lead to and from the driveway or sidewalk. Motion-sensing lights are also helpful so you're never fumbling around for your keys in the dark. Adding handrails is also an inexpensive option for added safety.
Paying for improvements
Financing and rebates are often available for some home projects without going the extra step of securing a home loan. Federal and state agencies, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, offer home-improvement grant programs. Most state governments have programs to help people looking to make their homes safe and energy efficient.
If you live in an apartment, the Fair Housing Act of 1968 says that tenants have the right to make reasonable modifications to their apartments, and accessibility modifications are considered reasonable. Also, find out what options are available to you through the National Council on Independent Living, which advocates independent living through home and community-based services. Keep in mind that some home improvements and modifications might be tax deductible, so check with your tax consultant.
A free, comprehensive resource about remodeling homes for full accessibility is available at www.expertise.com/home-and-garden/home-remodeling-for-disability-and-special-needs. It identifies legal and financial resources and offers tips on hiring the right remodeler. It suggests modifications that can be made throughout the home to make the spaces accommodating. The home remodeling guide discusses the federal grants available to seniors, veterans, and disabled people, which can help offset costs.

How could any carer scold an old man just for doing up his buttons wrongly Arlene Phillips recalls her father's death from dementia
01:01 GMT, 2 April 2012
Anguish: Arlene remembers her father's agonising illness
Alzheimer's reduced my father Abraham, an intelligent, smart and self-sufficient man, to a pitiful shell of a human being.
Almost the last sentence he ever articulated was: 'I've lived my life now. I just want to curl up in the woods and go to sleep.' This was how he expressed his frustration and desolation with a life that, in the end, held no purpose.
He no longer recognised my sister and me. Simple words eluded him. Although he had always loved to read, the written word became a mystery to him. All that remained of his humanity, in truth, was his stubbornly beating heart.
It was sorrowful that my sister and I should have seen him so reduced — to the extent that I now think Dignitas would have been the right option for him. It sounds drastic, but it would have spared him that final slide into emptiness and bewilderment.
The father we had known before illness diminished him had been so active and full of zest for life. He worked as a barber, but his passion was books. At the weekends, my brother, sister and I would visit antique markets with him and rummage for rare volumes.
As a family, we often went to the ballet, fostering my passion for dance which, of course, became my career.
We enjoyed country walks together, too. Gardening was another of my father's great pleasures and I cherish the memory of him sitting outside in the sunshine.
When my mother died, prematurely of leukaemia, aged 43, I was 15. It hit Dad very hard and life for all of us was difficult. But we all battled together and, over time, became even closer.
Although it is now 12 years since my dear dad died, aged 89, the image of him came back to me in sharp focus again last week when I confronted David Cameron at a question-and-answer session at a conference about the way we care — or, more pertinently, fail to care — for dementia sufferers in this country.
As a supporter of the Alzheimer's Society, I asked Mr Cameron to focus on the vital question of how we train our nurses to be compassionate carers.
And I did so because, while I have witnessed good care, I have also seen a conspicuous lack of it, both in one of the nursing homes to which my father was admitted, and also, more recently, in a hospital.
Three months ago, I visited my partner's 83-year-old mother in a hospital in Herefordshire, where she needed emergency treatment for suspected appendicitis. Although she does not suffer from dementia — far from it — other patients on the ward did. And it was some of the nurses' disregard for their needs that re-ignited my concerns.
One elderly woman was palpably confused and disoriented. She cried out for help repeatedly, but was ignored with such stubborn persistence by some of the nurses that I wondered, frankly, if they had failed to grasp that compassion is at the core of their vocation.
There were no kind words; much less offers of help. Even a transitory smile might have provided some comfort — but during my visit what struck me most insistently was the sense that the woman in the hospital bed might as well have been invisible.
That is why I asked the Prime Minister the vital and pressing question: how do you propose to teach nurses to care for those with dementia /04/02/article-2123815-125E84D4000005DC-93_634x692.jpg" width="634″ height="692″ alt="Early days: Arlene's father Abraham with her daughter Alana, aged seven" class="blkBorder" />
Early days: Arlene's father Abraham with her daughter Alana, aged seven
He acknowledged — as I have done — that some hospitals do perform admirably; that the level of care and attention from many nurses is first class. But he also confessed that some of our hospitals are quite simply not good enough.
'You are right, you cannot teach people compassion — that has to be the vocation that leads you into nursing. But I think if you look at the best hospitals and compare them with the rest, there are some things they are doing, often quite simple things, that can be copied,' Mr Cameron said.
'Dementia,' he conceded, 'is a terrible disease.' And he admitted that it is a scandal we have failed to keep pace with it. 'It is as though we've been in collective denial,' he said.
My own experience corroborates this; for even in the expensive private home to which my father was admitted when caring for him finally proved too much for me in 1990, there were staff who not only lacked compassion, but were astonishingly rude and demeaning.
Just a few weeks after he arrived in the home, I visited Dad and discovered a carer scolding him roundly. Her voice was pitched high with annoyance and indignation. My father looked abashed, like a recalcitrant schoolboy, because that was how he was being treated. What was his crime He had merely failed to do up his buttons correctly.
Distressed and angry: Arlene was furious that someone paid to look after her father should show him such conspicuous disdain
I was distressed and angry that someone paid to be kind to him should show him such conspicuous disdain. Had the incident been an isolated one, I might have been less incensed, but there were other examples of flagrant neglect.
On one occasion when I visited, I discovered Dad, who was by then too bewildered to navigate the route to the dining room, alone and hungry in his room. Another carer, charged with ensuring he ate with the other patients, had simply not bothered to fetch him.
Dad was not able to tell me, of course, how long her negligence had persisted. Would he eventually have been left to starve, I wonder, had I not discovered this systematic disregard for his most basic needs
Certainly such incidents contributed to the guilt I felt about putting him in a home. I had never wanted him to go into one and had wanted to look after him myself — as, for a time, I did.
In the early days in the late Eighties, his illness barely manifested itself. The first signs were a propensity to wander, allied to a disquieting tendency to get lost.
Dad, then 77, had lived alone in his flat in North-West London since Mum's death decades earlier. Thankfully, he was only a stone's throw away from me. I loved the fact that he lived close by — and he, in turn, loved being in London.
To begin with, I thought old age was making him a little absent-minded, but I didn't worry. Then the aimless wandering became worryingly frequent. In the end, to help him navigate his way home, I ensured every one of his coat pockets contained his address and my phone number.
But eventually, heartbreakingly — even though the police had started to drive him home — he stopped being able to recognise his own front door.
From then on, his behaviour became not only unusual, but potentially dangerous. He started brewing tea in the electric kettle and one day I found him heating baked beans on the gas stove, while they were still sealed in the tin.
So I arranged for social services to bring him meals. Looking back, it was clearly a sign of his growing bewilderment that, although he had always been keenly independent, he did not resist this help. But soon, in common with many victims of Alzheimer's, he started to become fearful. He was suddenly suspicious of strangers and unwilling to accept visitors to his home.
It fell to me to deliver his meals, which I did in breaks between choreographing various shows in the West End.
He needed help, too, with washing and dressing, and to see a man once so meticulous about his appearance struggling with such intimate tasks was heartbreaking. The disease continued its cruel and inescapable progress. Dad's speaking became problematic. His vocabulary shrank and he struggled to match his thoughts with the right expressions.
Sad demise: Abraham had stopped being able to recognise his own front door
Reading, which he had loved, became an arduous and frustrating chore. Gradually, even the pleasure of books deserted him. Within a couple of years, he was utterly diminished. The transformation was devastating.
Meanwhile, every day life for me was becoming a struggle. I was trying to be a mother to my children; I was working full-time. And then there was Dad. It did not occur to me to get outside assistance or medical advice, as I felt there was little doctors could do. What's more, I wanted to look after Dad myself: I loved him so much.
But then, in 1990, after eight years of caring for him, something snapped. It was a day like any other. I had just finished a rehearsal for Starlight Express in the West End and rushed over in the two-hour break before the show started to take Dad his dinner.
As I stood outside his flat, I thought: 'I can't carry on like this — I can't do everything for everyone. Something has to change.'
So that was when I moved Dad to a care home. I consoled myself that it was reputable; a highly recommended, first-class establishment, and, indeed, on the surface it seemed lovely. But after six months I was utterly disgusted and disillusioned.
So we moved Dad and it was around 1992 when, mercifully, he was installed at a wonderful place in Leeds, near my sister, where he spent the last eight years of his life. The nurses there were warm and loving; they accorded him dignity and respect. They smiled and made eye contact; they had time both to talk and listen.
There were numerous volunteers who arrived regularly to chat to the residents. Singing and dancing lessons were weekly events and there was an art therapy group.
So I have seen both the best and worst of things, both in private care homes and in the NHS, and I am glad that, as Dad's life ebbed away, he was treated with care and compassion (although, at the end, he was relieved to die because he had become a shadow of his old self).
It is little to ask, isn't it, that if the minds of our loved-ones fail them, we should take for granted that those entrusted with their care do, indeed, look after them
All the elderly, of course, deserve our respect and kindness. But those with Alzheimer's are among the most vulnerable because the disease that afflicts them also robs them of memory and renders them child-like.
That is no reason, however, to treat them as if they were children. Losing yourself is awful enough without being subjected to that extra humiliation.
So as I said to the Prime Minister, we must teach our carers to be worthy of the name. Actually, we must do more than that. We must all learn the value of compassion and kindness because we, too, will grow old and need it ourselves one day.

New Swab test to control drunken driving by San Diego
New Swab test to control drunken driving by San Diego
San Diego police is coming up with new Swab test to control drunken driving in the state of California. Marijuana which is commonly known as 'Bhang' in India, is banned in USA long time ago. People are addicted of Marijuana and drive after having its doze , which is very dangerous for the safety of those driving on road. Marijuana is having long term effect on the mind of the person having it , who shows strange behavior after consuming it.
San Diego Police department as acquired two machines which perform Swab test on anyone suspicious of having this kind of drug. Police department was worried right after the ban on this drug, because there were no machines or devices to check about the intake of Marijuana by its addicts. But now police is equipped with two machines to check and control its menace.
Swab test machines were first introduced in Los Angles city and after its successful results , San Diego is the second city to make use of Swab test machines. Apart from Marijuana, this machine can also detect other drugs like Cocaine and another six other types of drugs consumed by the defaulters.
Police department is more concerned about the misuse of Marijuana drug because its legal to use but illegal to drive using this drug. As per the stats available thirty eight percent, of people killed in state in various road accident were said to be under the influence of drug. Percent of people killed in the previous year were six percent lesser, that means in 2014 its was 38% and in 2013 it was 32 percent , now this increase the reason for the worries of the police department.
Marijuana was legalized in 2014 by Colorado state of America, and its users were reaching out the source to acquire it. So police department in the Colorado state was using Swab machines from the same year to check driving by its users. Now San Diego police is also using same machines.

See Scotland in a day
with Maggie Geha
She's in Gotham
I checked with Wikipedia. An American actress… and model. That's a start. What is Gotham? Is that Batman? Koala didn't know either. But it's on Netflix. Oh and she was in some Beyoncé video! She is famous! Ok let's just pretend we know. We need not have worried.. Maggie is a star, in more ways than Hollywood.. which is good because Koala isn't known to easily stand on ceremony and I'm from Yorkshire!
Maggie Geha bounded excitedly through the train station concourse towards us, to be brought to an abrupt un-Hollywood halt by an overweight Scotrail barrier attendant in a hi-viz. 'You'se need yer ticket darlin…!' Maggie smiled politely and looked desperately towards us for a translation. We liked her instantly. Her enthusiasm for a day of Highland adventure with us had built to boiling point over the preceding week.. Koala had her 'cell' number and WhatsApp had a new.. very busy connection.
This was going to be fun.. We had 12 hours to 'do Scotland', tick the boxes and give her the Koala experience! Perhaps this trip will test the true powers of versatility for.. 'Poison Ivy' I was however a little concerned. We had to get Maggie back to Edinburgh tonight! 12 hours to get the highlights that Scotland can offer! I rolled up the red carpet, threw the Koalacape in the back, fired up the Mitsubishimobile and set course for the Fortress of Solitude… sorry.. Glen Coe!
Maggie was immediately on a holiday mission and brimming with a positivity that was infectious. We would achieve this.. the stars would align. She said so. I wasn't so sure.. But she had powers, I'd checked. Unusually, Koala and I did not need to debate the playlist for the journey to the Secret Citadel… sorry The Green Welly… as the chat and banter began immediately. Koala was in her element and Maggie was an entertainer!
'If the security is good… I will touch people..'!'
I spat my teeth out and sent the Mitsubishi-mobile into a bit of a slide before she qualified the comment.. Fan Conventions, autographs, handshakes and the like. Ah! We laughed for the entire journey north. We were on the same wavelength and a video of her mom singing a rather operatic rendition of 'Take the High Road' confirmed it. We crossed the new Forth Bridge and seemed to have teleported up to the A82 and arrived at the Green Welly ahead of time. First stop and obligatory tourist shot outside. 'Oh look at the fluffy white sheep!' That wasn't on the itinerary but tick it anyway. Maggie loved her animals and excitedly compared her Vermont farm childhood with Koala and her Outback adoption of animals! I felt a little left out.. I'm from Leeds. Anyway… Let's hope to see a Deer or at least a Highland Cow?!
Sometimes you forget how epic the landscape of the Highlands is until you take someone there for the first time. Rounding the corner from Rannoch Moor was that occasion. The mountains grew in drama and silent awe descended on our passenger! First location and Glen Coe brooded. The weather had even turned up to greet the star from across the pond. Koala was animated. Maggie responded and got the 'Most Professional Costume Change' in a car award! Appearing as if from behind a curtain in a prop green dress that could've been made for Poison Ivy herself.. or perhaps Claire from Outlander.. but that's another story!
The Ralston Pass was epic and the sun provided enough natural light to please Koala and her romantic Scottish image was created. But was I redundant..? No reflector required, no witty (?) banter to relax her into the shoot, none of my interpretation to decipher Koalas direction with this actress.. nope this girl is a pro! So I just held boots and socks. Maggie thrived and Koala beamed excitedly. I tried to join in and entertain with some historical perspective of Glen Coe and the massacre of 1692. Which was great, but only succeeded in prompting her to jig barefoot in a rock boulder to a rather unique version of 'If you're happy and you-want-to-be Scottish… clap your hands!' The scene was hilariously breathtaking, if not a little surreal. Epic landscape… tick! History.. tick.. kinda.
As if on cue… the Glen Coe piper serenaded us down the pass.. the stars really were aligning! Maggie had her tourist snap as the skirl of the bagpipes echoed around the Glen. This was straight off a shortbread tin! I whispered to the piper that he was playing to a famous actress and offered to email the photo to him. He looked a little confused. I assumed, trying to place her face. She was on Gotham.. on Fox?! I advised. 'Aye… that's good son'. He replied. Completely clueless and whispered back to me. 'I dinnae have a computer son… none of that email. An I don't get yer telly show.. no signal in Fochabers!' Ah.. ok. Perhaps I can post them to you then? Do you have a letterbox??
We continued on to the village of Ballachulish which lies at the foot of Glen Coe, where the mountains finally give way to Loch Linnhe and the Firth of Lorn. Just outside the village is the Church of St John, our next location. The graveyard bristles with orderly ranks of crosses and slate graveslabs, its setting is certainly spectacular. I did know a bit of the history but chose to perhaps save the detail of the preaching of Bishop Forbes in 1770 to myself. We had already ticked history box and Maggie was singing from behind a wall as she conducted another rapidly professional costume change! I'll tell her later.. if she enquires. Despite the lack, in any quantity, of the famous graveyard bluebells.. the two of them set about recreating a film poster for a Gothic movie! I was redundant again..
Driving on to Fort William, Ben Nevis loomed high over the town, as we pulled into Morrison's Supermarket to pick up a traditionally Scottish lunch… well… a £3 Meal Deal… Sandwich and Irn Bru! It was a little unusual I guess to escort a whimsically costumed American actress to the customer toilet… but the local shoppers seemed to take it in their stride and assisted her in a shared experience with a rather troublesome soap dispenser!? I'm not sure we will ever know the exact detail but the hilarity was fuelled for the next leg of the journey. Maggie and Scottish Culture. Tick.
The smirry rain now descended and fog hung dramatically over Glenfinnan. The unpredictability of Scottish weather. Tick. We were setting a particularly high bar in the trip so far but I wasn't sure Harry Potter was in town to meet us? Another dress change, tartan.. and my waterproof jacket. As we walked toward the epically famous viaduct, among hardy Italian tourists who were quizzically snapping our entourage, a Landrover approached. I was beginning to believe that this actually might be a wizard!? But no.. it was only the wonderfully eccentric landowner of the Estate! Bedecked in Tartan Trews he dazzled our star with tales of Jacobite romanticism and a certain Bonnie Prince. Maggie was enchanted by his retelling of history and I wondered why she was suddenly interested and not casually performing a jig to him?? I really must refine my presentation skills. He didn't however know who she was either but he did have a 'private' email address and actively encouraged the forwarding of any potential pictures of Maggie and his bridge. Appears he liked the tartan dress.. and red heads!?
The rain fell and the wind blew through the Glen as Koala led a undeterred Maggie into the gorse above. Had the stars began to fade? Was the weather to defeat our quest? As I wondered, the wind dropped and a distinctive chug of industrial locomotion filled the air. The 'Jacobite' Train Service rounded the historic bend on its way to Mallaig. I'm no train spotter but the sight of the LNER Peppercorn Class (No. 62005) 'Lord of the Isles' – a 1940s development of the K4 design, is a truly wonderful sight! The steam trailed over the viaduct and the whistle sounded in response to a.. now speechless American who couldn't believe we had actually arranged the whole thing for her…
The bar was getting higher and now I too believed
Time for a celebratory dram and a toast to positivity and the universe, for the alignment of.. whatever needs to be aligned to tick all the boxes. I went along with that one, unsure of my spiritual stance and poured the malt unceremoniously into our tin mugs. The day was progressing well so I didn't feel it was appropriate to suggest savouring the fruit notes, the waves of sherry, dried fruits and cinnamon!? The epic landscape of the Buachaille that dominated the vista from the lay-by. The girls were unconcerned and the 12 year old Jura was rather 'knocked back' in an irreverently colonial kind of way. Thoughts of Empire raced through my head but I refrained.
We hadn't ticked the Heilan Coo box yet but perhaps there would be Deer at Kings House? How could I have doubted of course there would be.. this was Maggie Geha! As if waiting for her arrival, the young hind appeared for autographs and happily allowed herself to be touched, despite the lack of security! Maggie was a fan and emotionally kissed the unfazed animal on the nose. Did we have insurance for transmissible disease?
On to the iconic Black Rock cottage and an opportunity for whisky fuelled artistic expression!? A fusion of antipodean insta video and Hollywood method actressing! A unique mix that somehow morphed into a promotional video for a friend walking the the West Highland Way for the SSPCA animal charity. I somehow found myself laying face down in the heather acting out a rather difficult technique of complete emotional identification, in the part of 'Dead Ben'. I should've had a dram too. But time was running out and back to the Lowlands we drive. Ironically stopping for a quick selfie with a Highland Cow in a field by the roadside! Perhaps not an iconic or strictly true location but we took it anyhoo! Tick.
The road back to Edinburgh is not usually a description of epic but as we passed Doune Castle, famously used in a rather popular tv show, the sun was beginning to set. As if to remind us of the beauty of Lowland Scotland, the splendidly historic monuments of Stirling Castle and the Wallace monument were lit up as the sky erupted in pinks and red. This was sensory overload and Maggie fell asleep, just in time to avoid my brief outline of the Battle of Bannockburn. Koala wasn't interested either and we drove in awe filled silence as fading sun continually produced a spectacular backdrop. First the Kelpies by the M9.. Maggie woke to the scene as if on cue! This wasn't normal! Was it? Is this Scotland? Then, fittingly to end our adventure, Edinburgh castle and Arthur's Seat caught the last rays of pink light and exploded like the ancient volcanoes that they once were! Underlining an emotional end to our day. We'd ticked the boxes.
This is Scotland and Scotland had pulled out all the stops for our visitor from across the pond. The battered Mars bar would wait until next time.
Whimsically yours,
About the Author
Richard Jackson
I was born in Leeds and grew up in the military. Which thankfully has put me in good stead to 'look after' the Koala. I carry the tripod, hold the reflector, drive the truck, make the sandwiches and ensure that the clients have everything they need. So basically I do everything apart from press the button... sorry.. shutter! Apparently I am a hidden literary gem so I get to write the blog and provide creative input when asked!

The Borden Murders: Lizzie Borden and the Trial of the Century
Sarah Miller
This YA true crime book is both creepy and addictive. Miller's account of the 1892 murders in Fall River, MA reads like a good TV cop show or Serial for middle schoolers. Miller provides a well-researched play-by-play from the day of the murder through the end of Borden's trial, inviting readers to come to their own conclusion about who was responsible for the grisly deaths. Throughout, Miller finds opportunity to weave in interesting content about life in the Victorian era, addressing the ways gender, race, and class played into public perceptions of the crime.
Mr. Roquet's Rating: 5/5
Grades: 6-8
*some mature content and photographs*
Themes: nonfiction, true crime, history, murder

British police arrested a man and woman in London on Saturday as part of a wide-ranging investigation into holiday Web site fraud that has left nearly 3,000 people out of pocket.
The woman in her thirties, and the man in his 60s, were detained at separate addresses in London and are being questioned by fraud squad officers, the Metropolitan Police said.
The fake websites; sunmedresorts.com, unbeatableholidays.com, holidaydaysforunder200pounds.com, holidayrez.com and holidayez.com were all used in the con.
The fraud worked by enticing people to buy non-existent holidays and then disappearing with the cash.
The Association of British Travel Agents has warned people to be careful about buying trips online. The organisation advises people to check its own website or that of other affiliated organisations like Air Travel Organisers' Licensing to make sure any holiday firm is bona fide.
The Metropolitan Police, the Fraud Squad and the Office of Fair Trading are all investigating the scam which is thought to have netted hundreds of thousands of pounds.

We are very grateful to the Wassailers for choosing us.
