By sacrificing its Kurdish allies in northern Syria, Washington wants to mend relations with Ankara and prevent Turkey from strengthening its ties with Moscow, thus far killing two birds with one stone, expert on Middle Eastern affairs Jean Perier believes.
Washington's Kurdish allies in Syria have become the US' bargaining chip in negotiations with Ankara, according to Jean Perier, an independent researcher and expert on Middle Eastern affairs.
"By throwing the Kurds under the bus, the White House has not only solved the problem of mending its relations with Turkey by preventing Ankara from strengthening its ties of friendship with Moscow. It has also significantly reduced the intensity of Ankara's demands to extradite the self-exiled cleric Muhammed Fethullah Gülen by making this matter a purely legal question and thus facilitating Joe Biden's mission in Turkey," Perier writes in his article for New Eastern Outlook.
The expert underscores that the Russo-Turkish rapprochement, accelerated by the attempted coup in Turkey, has not gone unnoticed by Washington.
Furthermore, Ankara's statement that the Syrian conflict cannot be resolved without Russia has obviously hit the Obama's administration raw nerve.
To add more fuel to the fire, it was announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin may visit Ankara on August 31.
"Under these circumstances, Washington has decided to go all-in with a bid to mend its relations with Ankara by sacrificing its new-found Kurdish friends," Perier underscores.
This is apparently why Washington sent influential Vice President Joseph Biden, not Secretary of State John Kerry, to mend ties with the Erdogan government.
As a result, Turkey launched a ground offensive against Daesh (ISIS/ISIL) on August 24 with Washington's "blessing" and assistance in northern Syria.
However, Western media sources called attention to the fact that amid its anti-Daesh campaign the Turkish armed forces targeted the Kurdish People's Protection Units' (YPG) fighters and demanded that they return from the Syrian town of Manbij to the eastern bank of the Euphrates.
Turkish President Erdogan's motivation is understandable: he wants to prevent the Kurds from creating an independent entity in northern Syria, along the Turkish border.
The YPG "has been Washington's most effective proxy in the fight against Islamic State in Syria. Its fighters-ethnic Kurds, Arabs and Yazidis-are doing the bulk of the fighting. Without them, Islamic State [Daesh] would have seized northern Syria long ago, posing an even larger risk to Turkey," the Wall Street Journal highlighted Wednesday.
However, Joe Biden has made it clear for the Kurds that they have to abide by the order to move back to the eastern bank of the Euphrates river, otherwise Washington would leave them out in the cold.
"As for Syria's Kurds who Washington previously used to achieve its goals in the Middle East, they have become a bargaining chip that the White House is willing to sacrifice. Once the Kurds have fulfilled their role, their interests can easily be neglected by the US with Washington preferring to restore its ties with Ankara instead," Perier remarks.
The question then arises how the US will continue its military operation in northern Syria without the Kurdish YPG fighters.
Commenting on the matter, expert in Middle Eastern affairs Leonid Isaev of the Higher School of Economic told Svodobnaya Pressa that following the liberation of Manbij it was expected that the US-backed Kurdish militants would move to Afrin through the Syrian town of al-Bab.
"Now that the US pressured the YPG into leaving Manbij, it is most likely that the northern Syria will be divided into 'spheres of influence' with the US' brokering. It is of great importance for Americans to prevent large-scale clashes between their allies [in the region]. I believe that the United States will continue maneuvering between the Turks and the Kurds while trying to maintain relations with both," Isaev suggested.
However, citing American and European volunteers fighting alongside the YPG, Svobodnaya Pressa noted that by backing the Turkish-led advance in northern Syria Washington has "spit in the face of the Kurds."
"Although today Washington was 'bearing gifts' to Ankara at the expense of Syria's Kurds, tomorrow any other 'strategic partner' of the White House may find itself in the shoes of those forsaken Peshmerga fighters," Perier warns.

How to be less shy, whether you are an introvert or an extrovert
Being shy is not something to be embarrassed about. It also does not have to be something that dictates your social life, your dating skills or your relationships.
People often confuse shyness with having an introvert personality and some even think that overcoming either of these is an insurmountable challenge. This is not the case.
This article will explain how shyness isn't necessarily a bad thing and provide some tips on how to overcome it. I will relate it to my own experiences of going from notably shy and reserved in my youth, to confident and comfortable in any social scenario… 🙂
Introvert and extrovert personality types:
Most people lean towards one of two personality types, introvert or extrovert, and you can be equally shy in either case.
There are many misconceptions as to what exactly an introvert is. People often mistakenly think of an introvert as a social recluse, one who despises and avoids social interaction wherever possible.
An introvert is simply someone who draws their energy, thoughts and feelings from their inner world and is decidedly selective in their social endeavours.
An extrovert is typically more gregarious, outspoken and consistently fond of the company of others.
It is a combination of these contrasting traits that gives the impression that an introvert is also shy by default.
The difference between being an introvert and being shy:
The terms "introvert" and "shy" often get used interchangeably but there is a key distinction between the two.
Shyness is a learnt behaviour formed from beliefs and experiences, usually during childhood. In a general sense, shyness is a fear of social interactions. In comparison, introversion is merely an internal preference towards social interactions.
One of the main barriers to overcoming shyness is being labelled, by others and also by ourselves. Constantly reaffirming that you are "shy" only validates the associated beliefs and behaviours, especially when faced with a social situation where that shyness is a conscious hindrance.
Due to the social stigma against introversion and shyness, I generally recommend against purposefully stating that you are "shy". If you embrace the way you are without using it as a restriction, you can take small steps over time to change the aspects that are undesirable to you.
Going from shy to sociable:
This is exactly how I overcame the shyness I possessed. I made small, manageable and conscious steps as often as possible, starting with talking to strangers regularly and getting more involved at social gatherings. As experience and confidence grows, shyness becomes something that you are completely in control of: you can choose when and with whom to interact with, regardless of whether you are an introvert or an extrovert.
Even now I would class myself as leaning towards the introvert side of the personality scale. I enjoy meeting people, making friends and interacting with others but I also enjoy my own quiet time and I am not particularly brazen in social environments. This can sometimes be viewed as shyness to outsiders and that's fine.
This may seem rather surprising for someone who has worked predominantly as a dating coach for so many years and indeed I do have a style that is unique and renowned amongst fellow relationship and dating coaches.
Your personality type does not have to directly affect your dating life and relationships; it will just modify your approach to them!
Fear and ego in shyness:
It is counter-intuitive to think of the ego as something associated with shyness but that is actually what it is. Shyness is an ego-protection mechanism born out of fear and presumption.
Another term that describes this internal struggle is outcome dependence. Outcome dependence as described here is the fear of repercussions as a result of specific social interactions. If you want to be fully comfortable and confident in any social interaction, as well as being able to approach and start a conversation with anyone that you choose to, then you must start refraining from assuming, pre-empting or hoping for a specific outcome. Try to be in the moment whenever possible.
An article that discusses this aspect of shyness and how to establish a proactive mindset towards being less shy is the popular article, 'Dealing with approach anxiety'.
Working with your shyness:
You can be shy and still have adept social skills; you just have to work to your strengths.
For example, whenever I attend a party or other social venue, I am much more interested in connecting with a chosen few, rather than be seen as a raucous socialite. I would rather make a deep and lasting impression with one person than be casually remembered by everyone.
If you are shy, forget about the big picture and how you appear to everyone else and start by becoming more confident talking to less threatening or domineering people. It actually makes the other person value the interaction if they assume you are shy but you have started to get to know each other anyway.
Once you start making sincere connections with even a few people, it doesn't take long for that to transpire into your social life in general, as well as becoming more pragmatic in developing fulfilling relationships.
Being a storyteller and being a good listener:
Storytelling is something that is touted as being essential to creating attraction and lasting memories with the people you meet. Whilst I acknowledge that being able to hold and engage a group with a story is a great skill to have, it is not as imperative as some people make out.
I am not the greatest storyteller. Yes I do have lots of stories but I tend to keep them short and interactive, rather than long and emotive. I much prefer encouraging others to tell their stories and to interact through those. If you are shy you can probably relate to this.
The most important thing is to learn to be socially aware, so that you can sense when someone is feeling awkward or uneasy. This will only be perfected through experience. Small talk and other related social norms were created for this very reason. The last thing you want is for people to misinterpret any shyness you have as disinterest or rudeness, so use simple conversation pieces to lead into more meaningful rapport at a later stage.
Listening intently and encouraging others to talk whilst showing full interest is an easy first step to overcoming shyness.
I hope this article has been useful and interesting and I'd love to hear from anyone who feels that they are an introvert, an extrovert or particularly shy, or if you have had to deal with shyness in the past. Please leave a comment in the provided section below if you have anything to share or ask. 🙂
Much love,

Hi Sam. I always thought that an introvert and shyness went hand in hand so I liked your definitions explaining clearing that up. I can actually relate to everything you said as I feel I am an introvert (like my own space and enjoy being alone sometimes) and have had bouts of shyness throughout my life. I always feel it is the people around me that help the most. Some people are so much friendlier and easier to be around, although I guess you can't live your life hoping to meet such people all the time.
One of things that gets me is how I can be completely at ease and unshy (is that a word) around certain people (family and close friends) but completely seize up and go shy around new people. Like I said my shyness seems to go in phases so sometimes I don't seem shy and other times I can feel the fear a lot like you describe in the ego section.
First time I've commented here but I am a long time reader and really enjoy your work so thanks a lot.
This is a really great topic Sam and one that I'm sure everyone can relate to in some part. I have been shy in the past but I also feel that as I've got older and more mature even if I do still feel shy on occasion it is far less of a big deal and does not affect my life as much.
One thing I've noticed is like Greg says above how it affects us being around friendly people and unfriendly people. I like your advice in response about taking the responsibility and being the friendly person instead. What this got me thinking about was back when I was engaged. Although I was shy myself at the time, my ex-fiance was even more shy and at functions I would always be the one doing the introducing and talking. Something like that is what I am thinking when you say to barrel through that fear anyway as I felt that I had to and I am all the better for it.
After writing all that, I would be interested in your thoughts on how or why shyness is different for men and women and also for different ages in your opinion?
All the best and keep the great topics coming. Jen
Hi Sam,
I'm sorry I haven't commented recently…I have been extremely busy! I have still be reading though 🙂
I am so pleased you have written this article. It has cleared a lot of things up for me. I wrongly thought that an introvert was a shy, unsociable person and an extrovert was outspoken and loud. I have been classed as shy before, but this may be because I am more of a listener and people may interpret this as shyness.
From now on, I am going to try hard not to worry about how people react to what I say. I guess I always feel people are judging me. Have you got any suggestions of how I can stop these feelings?
Thanks again for posting.

Hi Sam. I must say this was an excellent read. I guess I am both shy and introverted. My shyness has resulted out of childhood experiences, yet I'm an introvert by not needing to be the life of the party. I'm happiest when I'm having meaningful conversation with a couple of people instead of hanging out with a group.
I think the main difference between shyness and being introverted is that shyness is something that can be changed but being introverted is part of who the person is. It's a great tip to remind shy people to be socially aware. It can be hard to read people and 90% of daily communication is through body language.
I'm actually less shy around strangers than people that I know because you can talk freely and not think about gossip or criticism. It doesn't faze me to do karaoke in front of strangers because I don't have to talk. Also, most people don't like to get up on stage so I figure as long as no one is throwing tomatoes, it can't be bad. 😀 But as long as I'm not having to talk, I'm fine. With close friends and family, it's easy to be more myself too. It's most difficult when I'm amongst acquaintances.
The hardest challenge for me is overcoming awkward moments because I've always been so cautious not to offend people. Sometimes, it's fine, and other times, I wind up sticking my foot in my mouth. But I guess when it comes to being shy, it's best to overcome it by being willing to try and approach others by having real conversation. Lastly, I guess when a person is shy, their conversations are more about quality than quantity.
I'm an introvert and extremely shy. I also have approach anxiety. It is hard for me to leave a reply.
I want to overcome my shyness and approach anxiety when meeting new people. Like you said there are certain people I'm not shy around or have approach anxiety. It takes me a couple weeks to not be shy or feel anxiety towards people I meet and after that I don't ever feel shy around them. I'm in college and when I have to give a presentation my anxiety kicks in even if I know everyone in the class.
I have been taking small steps to overcome it. A few years ago it was hard for me to even do "small talk" to people I did not know. I'm glade I can do that but it feels like it is moving slowly. Now I can have a small and short conversation with some of my class mates that start the conversation, if the person next to me is a male I find it harder to talk to females. Around females is when I am the shyest.
I never had a girlfriend because of my shyness and anxiety. I still feel that way to females that I am physically attracted to.
I believe my shyness and anxiety is a result of my dyslexia. Which would fall under your "Fear of danger" in your "Dealing with approach anxiety" article. It's difficult for me to talk about this but it makes me feel better when I do.

We in the tropics
Sometimes in the heat of summer
Do grudge the sun
It's dazzling brilliance
Which in lines harsh and true
The world that we are.
On such days, in such a time
One wishes
Would that a cloud
Could appear, and diffuse
The dazzle
Soften the harshness
Of what we see.
This high noon of my life,
Such a cloud are you.

J'ai achetée ce shampoo et ce conditioner dans un magasin à dollars et j'ai littéralement détester. Mes cheveux étaient loin d'être propre et le conditioner ne rend pas les cheveux doux et hydraté.
I actually discovered this at the dollar store. It is pretty good. I like how it made my hair feel and it does not leave residue or build up in your hair. I was amazed. I only paid 2.50 for each bottle and it was a huge litre bottle. It smells nice too
It is cheap at Dollarama and you do get a large quantity but it is also a bit thin or watered down. It does work well but yoi must use more of it compared to other conditioners. It has a very strong scent which we happen to like but not everyone is able to use very scented products.
After using Daily Defence Moroccan Argan Oil Conditioner my hair has never felt healthier! I have dry course hair and this conditioner gives it so much moisture without being heavy or greasy, it completely detangles and leaves my hair feeling silky and soft ! I've found it at Costco for a decent price, and Dollorama for 3$ I know it seems crazy but this product is actually amazing for its price!

The cottage was very nice, spacious, clean, tidy and well equipped, actually elicited a 'WOW!' on arrival. There was ample storage, a nice kitchen, and 2 gorgeous bathrooms. The only complaint, and sole reason for not receiving 10 across the board, was that the lodge was too hot at night and we both struggled to sleep a bit.

My wife, daughter (aged 11) and I stayed for a mid-week break during October half term. Our accommodation was a two bedroom Lavender cottage. The cottage was spacious with both bathrooms being disproportionately large, but the bland decoration and lack of furniture made it feel rather sterile. Bed linen and towels were clean and in good order, however, the L-shaped sofa was full of sweet wrappers between the cushions and the same were found underneath. We only ate out once on site at the Tapas restaurant which was very good. We made use of the swimming pool on a couple of occasions and played the miniature golf. Overall, a good value week.

Make My MMO: Crowfall's crafting, RUiN's Kickstarter, Ashes of Creation's gameplay (March 4, 2017)
This week in MMO crowdfunding, we sent MOP's Matt Daniel into Crowfall, from which he emerged with many opinions on the state of the game's high-profile crafting and gathering systems. Economy folks should give it a read!
There are two MMO-related Kickstarters ending this week you may be interested in. Arena brawler RUiN is about 200 bucks from funding as I type this, so it's going to happen for sure. Caribbean Conquest's second go at Kickstarter, however, is likely to fall short; it's secured only about $2000 in pledges of its $30,000-ish goal with only a few days left.
What else is new? Worlds Adrift got a new website (thanks, Daras!), Project Gorgon rolled out a new patch, Albion Online released videos on its sound and music, Elite Dangerous began testing part of the Commanders patch, Camelot Unchained teased beta 1, and Ashes of Creation demoed its gameplay.
Finally, get thee over to Steam, where a trial of Shroud of the Avatar can currently be had entirely for free.
Read on for more on what's up with MMO crowdfunding over the last few weeks and the regular roundup of all the crowdfunded MMOs we've got our eye on.

She had managed to hide the body ink - which stretches from her shoulder to her hand - from him for years but when he took her dress shopping after she became engaged to her fiance Lee, she couldn't conceal it any longer.
Amy confessed that she couldn't wear a sleeveless gown her father had picked out for her to try on as it would mean revealing her tattoo.
'I am a real daddy's girl I couldn't do it without him as I value his opinion,''I need to cover my arms as I have this and he doesn't know,' I feel really nervous like I am going to cry, my dad doesn't like tattoos at all. He is going to go mad,' she fretted. 'There is no way I can go out with my arm like this.'
He looked stunned as he saw the body inking up his little girl's arm through the lace material.

This topic is for discussing childcare options. If you want to advertise, please use your Local site.
Is this a reasonable salary for nanny?
(13 Posts)Thank you very much for all your answers! They are very useful. Will advertise and depending on the response may increase the hourly rate or the number of hours. Thanks!
Another option to consider would be nanny with own child although perhaps 3 under 3 would bring challenges! However I can imagine a nanny with a baby would appreciate the shorter hours and accept a slightly reduced rate.
There's a guide to qualifications here here. Tbh a Spanish nanny is unlikely to have UK qualifications - you'd need to look at what the Spanish national childcare diploma is but there are a lot of qualified EY teachers floating around.
The salary is low for live out in London, though, unless they're already living somewhere with cheapish rent (house share/boyfriend), and as said previously the hours are short do it adds up to a low annual salary.
The Spanish language requirement may act in your favour - I read an article about someone advertising for an au pair who had over a thousand applications, largely from Spanish people struggling to find work at home due to the difficult economic situation there. Assuming the nanny market is similar, you may find prospective candidates are willing to be flexible on hours if it at least means the chance of a secure job. No idea where you'd advertise though!
In terms of qualifications most will have at least a level 2/3 in childcare some may not have any qualifications but just have lots of experience to back up. But most will say if the person is serious in having a career in childcare they have some kind of qualification in childcare.
Outraged, what are the qualifications that a nanny should have? I am completely ignorant on this... many thanks!
Thank you so much for the replies, I may need to think again about the salary. And I had not thought that working from home and trying to "help" every now and then would be inconvenient, that's good to know!
£10ph gross is at the bottom end of nanny salaries in London. This combined with the shorter than normal hours results in quite a low wage. There is no harm in advertising and seeing who applies, but I expect a lot of the nannies applying would be unqualified with limited experience.
'will also be able to occasionally look after the children for short periods during my work breaks (around 10-20 minutes)'
This would be a nightmare for a nanny. It's hard enough to do a job where one of the parents works from home, but to have them in and out for 10/20 minutes at a time just wouldn't work, it will be so unsettling for the children.
More paid holiday, perhaps but would not change persons annual salary.
So I feel it will depend on what costs the nanny has, such as housing, travel to/from work, how much they spend on entertainment, clothes, shoes etc. A live-out nanny needs to earn enough to cover their expenditure.
Thank you Bestest, that is what I thought. I am looking for a Spanish speaking nanny, so English as a second language is not a problem. With respect to the hours, maybe I can offer more holiday to make it more attractive?
It all depends what your priorities are really. For that salary you could get a young and relatively inexperienced nanny with English as their first language, or a more experienced one with English as their second/third language.
From the nanny's point of view, less appealing aspects of the job are the fact that you are there (many nannies prefer sole charge) and the hours (most daily nannies expect to work an 11-12 hour day to earn a decent wage).
Forgot the "a" in the title.... Anyone? Thanks!
Hello! I would like to hire a nanny when I return to work to look after a toddler (3 years old) and a baby who will be 4 months. I live in London and will need the nanny for 8 hours a day, from 11 am until 7 pm. Is a salary of 10 pounds per hour gross reasonable? I work from home, so will be able to feed the baby (so far EBF) if I don't have any calls, otherwise will express for the nanny to feed - will also be able to occasionally look after the children for short periods during my work breaks (around 10-20 minutes) but that is totally unpredictable, depending on work load.
The toddler will be in nursery some days in the afternoon, haven't decided how many yet, so the nanny will have to drop off and pick up. We don't have a car so the nanny will have to either walk or take the bus. Will this be a problem?
I have never hired a nanny before so I am not sure if these hours and salary will be appealing to nannies with some experience. I'll be at home so I don't require many years of experience as I will be able to tell the nanny how I would like things done.
I have read meany threads here but if you have any advice or comments, they will be most welcome! thanks!

I have always had a soft spot for cows. It's something about their soft eyes and the way they run on stiff legs. Here are our new neighbors. They ate all the horse candy our youngest daughter bought with her own money. I promised her two new bags. Couldn't resist the hungry cows. Or my happy daughter.

I turned 40 last Friday. My husband got me a throwing wheel. Now I spend all my evenings in the garden shed trying to master the clay. It's absorbing. He also arranged for me to learn horse driving. The horse I take care of is a very experienced roadster and he and a human teacher will teach me. I feel so grateful and I can't remember being this happy ever. Not primarily because of the gifts. But because the gifts show how much he knows me. And because I finally know what I want to do.

More fall. This morning, when out to get the morning paper, I waded through leaves. When stopping with my camera a maple leaf landed on my head. One by one they fall slowly and dignified to the ground. This Friday, when walking home from school with the kids we found a lilac in bloom. The fall has been so long and warm. Next years buds thought spring was here already. Very strange to smell lilac in late October. A fall storm and the trees will stand naked. The leaves swirling at their feet.

Last fall in this house. In this garden. I walk around the garden thinking about all the work we have done to make it ours. To me it's perfect now. In all its obvious imperfection. Hard traffic outside, the traffic has always been our greatest obstacle. But the garden is invisible from the outside now and when inside, the traffic buzz feels like a curiosity. To us a reminder of how much we love the city. In the summer when lying on the grass, you are surrounded by greenery. No one can see you and still the tube is only a two minute walk away. We love that about this house.

Our house is out on the market. These photos are from the ad. It feels exciting and strange. Less sad than I thought. I guess I have processed the whole thing for a long time. And I am so happy to leave the city. Another life is waiting. I am grateful that we have the opportunity. Here's the whole ad.

My husband makes the most amazing pizza. The dough thin, chewy in the middle and crispy on the outside.The cook in John Irving's Last Night In Twisted River adds a little honey to his pizza dough. After reading the said novel I tried to impress my husband telling him to add a dash of honey to the dough and he kindly told me that he had done that for years. Ok. Anyway. This post is about telling you the greatness about thin sliced raw potato and garlic on top of a pizza. It sounds quite dull, I know, but it's heavenly. No tomato sauce, just potatoes, garlic, some fresh rosemary or thyme and flaked salt. And olive oil. Don't forget the olive oil. Lots.

I planted these Japanese windflowers a few years ago. I could not imagine how fast and furious they would grow. The flower delicate and almost fragile but the plant and the foliage sturdy and determinate. These late summer evenings I watch the flowers grow high almost touching the fruit heavy branches of the apple trees.

We are planning a move so our house will be for sale in a couple of months. Even though we are looking forward to the change and hoping for a new way of life it's a sad story saying goodbye to this much loved house. I keep telling myself that home is where we are and that everything has and end but still. I really truly love this house. The creaking of the stairs, the yearly struggle to fit the Christmas tree in our small living room, the names we have for all the places/spots where things can get lost. "Go look on the mosaic shelf" "Have you checked the kiosk?" I do not consider myself a nostalgic person but I find myself spending my evenings going through my photo archives searching for pictures of this home. Sometimes just looking, sometimes, like with these, juggle about in photo shop. These two photos show a little bit of what I love about this house. The living room/kitchen floor is always a little bit too hot, the light always very warm. The upper, bedroom floor, is cool and the light grayish. This post is totally therapeutic. There will be more. And I will get over it.

'Reasons we run'
Everyone has a different reason for taking on the challenge of the London Marathon. Find out what motivates some of the amazing people who are running the London Marathon 2016 for us:
Firstly, Nicky Ashwell spoke to the BBC ahead of the the marathon to explain the reasons she was running the marathon but also why she had chosen to support our charity.

Watch our video to get to know some of the people Leonard Cheshire Disability has supported to rebuild their lives.
- £200 could pay to train two teachers in the developing world the skills they need to teach disabled children and non-disabled children together.
- £800 can buy a touch screen monitor enabling people with limited movement in their hands to use computer equipment.
- £2,000 could buy a 'tilt table' to provide pain relief and help breathing, digestion, bone density and posture for a disabled person with little or no movement in their limbs.

The Room With No Doors | The Dying Days |
Lungbarrow was an original Doctor Who novel written by Marc Platt. Published in Virgin Books' New Adventures range, it was the last of that range to feature the Seventh Doctor.
It is considered the final novel under any banner to feature the Seventh Doctor as the "current" Doctor, although McGann's Eighth Doctor had already made his televised appearance by the time the novel was published. Due to a publication delay, however, an earlier-commissioned novel, So Vile a Sin, also featuring the Seventh Doctor, was published later (although it takes place earlier than Lungbarrow in continuity). One additional Eighth Doctor novel would be published under the Virgin New Adventures banner before the series was handed over to Bernice Summerfield.
Publisher's summary Edit
"Nonsense, child," retorted the Doctor. "Grandfather indeed! I've never seen you before in my life!"
All is not well on Gallifrey. Chris Cwej is having someone else's nightmares. Ace is talking to herself. So is K9. Leela has stumbled on a murderous family conspiracy. And the beleaguered Lady President, Romanadvoratrelundar, foresees one of the most tumultuous events in her planet's history.
At the root of all is an ancient and terrible place, the House of Lungbarrow in the southern mountains of Gallifrey. Something momentous is happening there. But the House has inexplicably gone missing.
673 years ago the Doctor left his family in that forgotten House. Abandoned, disgraced and resentful, they have waited. And now he's home at last.
In this, the Seventh Doctor's final New Adventure, he faces a threat that could uncover the greatest secret of them all.
Plot Edit
His mind occupied with thoughts of his coming regeneration, the TARDIS accidentally returns the Doctor to Gallifrey and the House of Lungbarrow, where for over 673 years his 44 cousins have been trapped, but mysteriously only six of them are still left. Meanwhile, Chris Cwej is having strange dreams of the past, when the family cast the Doctor out. The Doctor is accused of the murder of the head of the House, but finds many allies in the form of former companions Ace, Romana, K-9 Mark I and K-9 Mark II and Leela, who have become embroiled in a Celestial Intervention Agency plot to overthrow Romana's presidency. The secrets of the past are catching up to the Doctor, in particular the secret linking him to a figure from Gallifreyan history known only as the Other.

- The Doctor departs Gallifrey on a final mission to Skaro, as requested by Romana II.
Gallifreyan culture Edit
- Sepulchasm is a Time Lord game, and quite possibly a profanity.
- The play Mystery of the New Time is usually conducted during Otherstide.

- Romana did not attend the reception for the Chelonian envoy.
- Fledershrews are present in the House of Lungbarrow.
Relatives of the Doctor Edit
- Innocet has telekinesis and telepathy.
Notes Edit
- Lungbarrow wrapped up the last of the continuity of the New Adventures and put the Doctor on course to gather the Master's remains from Skaro, as depicted in the 1996 Doctor Who television movie. It is also one of a number of the New Adventures which is hard to obtain and is often seen on auction websites such as eBay at prices many times the original cover price.
- Before losing their license to BBC Books, it had been announced that the Seventh Doctor's adventures would have continued in periodic Missing Adventures releases, with the Eighth Doctor taking over the NA line. Ultimately, only one Eighth Doctor novel was published and the MA line came to an end before any Seventh Doctor releases could occur. Future Seventh Doctor novels would be released under the BBC Past Doctor Adventures line.
- The Seventh Doctor's last words in the Virgin New Adventures series are; "Dorothee! I just remembered. I haven't been Merlin yet!"
- The novel which followed Lungbarrow, Lance Parkin's The Dying Days, featured the Eighth Doctor. When Virgin subsequently lost their license to print original Doctor Who fiction, they chose to focus on a character from the New Adventures which the BBC did not own, former companion Bernice Summerfield. Lungbarrow serves, in concert with Dying Days, to gradually increase the standing of Summerfield's character, laying the groundwork for the later appearance of the Seventh Doctor's then-companion, Chris Cwej, in Summerfield's own novels.
- This novel, however, was largely concerned with concluding what was known as the "Cartmel Masterplan". In the final two seasons of the original 1963-1989 run of Doctor Who, the then script editor Andrew Cartmel introduced new elements of mystery into the character of the Doctor. Suggestions of dark secrets that the Doctor might be more than just a Time Lord were inserted into scripts of stories such as Ben Aaronovitch's Remembrance of the Daleks and Kevin Clarke's Silver Nemesis. Had the series not been effectively cancelled in 1989, the following season would have made some of these revelations. Elements of Platt's planned Lungbarrow instead became part of the Season 26 serial Ghost Light.
- Along the way to this resolution, Lungbarrow ultimately reveals much new information about the Doctor's home world and race, some of which had been hinted at ever since the first New Adventures novel. Many of the New Adventures authors migrated to the BBC Books Doctor Who line and elements of this backstory also made their way into subsequent novels. However, there have also been elements in those novels that contradict it.
- The claim that Time Lords are born fully mature, never having a physical childhood, has been contradicted by several pieces of media.
- In the television story The Time Monster, the Third Doctor tells Jo Grant a story regarding when he was a "little boy".
- In the television story The Sound of Drums, the Master is shown as a child in a Time Lord ritual. The Tenth Doctor specifically mentions that before this ritual, "[the c]hildren of Gallifrey [were] taken from their families [at the] age of eight to enter the Academy." The television story The End of Time reuses footage from Drums while the Master's childhood is discussed. In The End of Time, the Chancellor refers to the "simple task" of the four beats of a Time Lord's heartbeat being transmitted back in time and implanted into "the Master's mind as a child".
- The Eleventh Doctor has a cot, seen in the television story A Good Man Goes to War, which he claims to have once slept in, and his original incarnation is shown as a young boy in the television story Listen, in which he is described by a Gallifreyan man as "that boy".
- In the television story The Girl in the Fireplace, Reinette describes the Doctor as having a "lonely childhood" and being "[s]uch a lonely little boy" while she looks inside the Tenth Doctor's mind. In TV: The Empty Child, the Ninth Doctor himself similarly remarks that he knows what it's like to be the "only child left out in the cold".
- The Ninth Doctor agrees with Doctor Constantine's remark of being a "father and grandfather" in the television story The Empty Child, the Tenth Doctor recounts being "a dad" or "a father" in the television story Fear Her and The Doctor's Daughter and his twelfth incarnation mentions his "dad skills" in Listen. In the television story The Witch's Familiar, Missy mentions a daughter from "the olden days on Gallifrey". In the television story Hell Bent, the Twelfth Doctor mentions how the Doctor "stole" the moon and the President's wife, before correcting himself to say that was a lie from the Shobogans, and she was actually the President's daughter, and the moon was lost.
- The television movie Doctor Who has the Eighth Doctor remember being with his father and The End of Time also has the Master asking the Tenth Doctor if he remembered the land on the slopes of Mount Perdition the Master's father owned.
- In the television story Death in Heaven, the Twelfth Doctor recalls running together with the Master when the Doctor was "little".
- In the television story Heaven Sent, the Twelfth Doctor recounts a memory from when he was a "very little boy" about a woman who resembled the Veil, which gave him nightmares for years.
- A second edition of Lungbarrow, featuring both additions to and subtractions from the original text made by the author and accompanied by author's notes and new illustrations by Daryl Joyce, was released by BBCi as an e-book on the official Doctor Who website on 22 August 2003. It became inaccessible in 2010.
- The Houses of Gallifrey are similar to the household featured in Peake's Gormenghast trilogy. Badger, a character who makes his first appearance in Lungbarrow, has much in common with a character in Peake's Gormenghast novella, Boy in Darkness, which originally appeared in the collected work Sometime, Never by Golding, Wyndham and Peake. [1]
- Lance Parkin on an Outpost Gallifrey forum thread [2] stated in 2005 that the reason the last three books in the Virgin New Adventures range, including Lungbarrow, were so expensive on the secondary market was excessive demand, rather than an unusually low initial print run. However, he also noted that reprints of these books were not allowed, because Virgin's license expired before a second printing might otherwise have been made.
- The numbering of this book as 60 of 61 refers to the publisher's intended order, which ultimately was not the actual order of publication. Because of chronic delays troubling Ben Aaronovitch's So Vile a Sin, eventually finished by Kate Orman, it was actually the 59th New Adventure published.
Continuity Edit
- The hermit that lived on the mountain near the Doctor's home was first mentioned in TV: The Time Monster, and later featured in TV: Planet of the Spiders.
- The Sisterhood of Karn first appeared in TV: The Brain of Morbius. They would later be responsible for the Eighth Doctor's regeneration. (TV: The Night of the Doctor)
- Leela met Andred in TV: The Invasion of Time.
- Romana returned from E-space in PROSE: Blood Harvest, and became president in PROSE Happy Endings.
- A lot of Gallifreyan history revisited in this novel first appeared in PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible.
- Romana gives the Doctor her sonic screwdriver, which she built in TV: The Horns of Nimon.
- The Doctor used the Hand of Omega in TV: Remembrance of the Daleks.
- The Doctor goes on one final mission to pick up the Master's remains, leading into TV: Doctor Who.
- Gallifrey's renewed ties with the Sisterhood of Karn abolishes Pythia's curse of sterility upon the population. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
- Innocet tells Chris Cwej that the Houses are the oldest living things on Gallifrey, the first ones having been grown during the Intuitive Revelation. (PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible)

Richmond, Va.–area developer Bob Atack doesn't waste a second considering where to take a visitor who asks him to show off the property that makes him proudest. The pair jumps into his 2007 black Chevrolet Tahoe and motors past the year-old Henley community, where elegant single-family homes sell for up to $2 million. Atack, president of Atack Properties in Glen Allen, Va., points it out but passes it by.
Instead, Atack pulls his Tahoe into Richmond's inner-city Bainbridge area, where liquor stores outnumber churches and panhandlers hover too close to cars stopped at red lights. He points to an empty and neglected 44-unit apartment building across the street from a store called Marketplace, whose main wares are wine and lottery tickets and whose regular customers were the once-residents who lived in those apartments.
That was before Atack bought the building—and its 36-unit twin down the street—and donated both to Good Samaritan Ministries. Now, says Atack, the store's owner is pressing him to buy Marketplace, too, because his one-time customers have either stopped buying wine or have moved away.
This is Atack's pride and joy, the project he calls his "passion." He has donated upward of $1.5 million to the 20-year-old Christian mission for the homeless and drug-addicted, and has led a fundraising effort that nearly matched it. He has lent employees to help renovate the two buildings of 612-square-foot, two-bedroom apartments, which are home to "graduates" of a 90-day mission orientation, during which its patrons live in a 30-bed men's dorm while they detoxify and learn the mission's routine: rise early, study the Bible, prepare for the day, then go to work around the mission in unpaid jobs ranging from stuffing envelopes to selling Christmas trees.
After three drug- and alcohol-free months, patrons may move—with their wives and children if they have them—into the tiny apartments for another nine months. During that time, they learn basic carpentry and life skills, attend group counseling sessions, and work every day—some on the grounds of one of Atack's commercial properties; others side-by-side with local contractors who are renovating the apartments; and a few in the mission's ancillary businesses such as a Christmas tree lot.
Half of the mission's 33-member staff began as wards of the program, which, with help from Atack and a handful of other prominent Richmond businessmen, has grown from a shelter with room for 23 men in a converted tire recap shop to an apartment community that houses more than 100. Today's mission also runs an elementary and high school for 64 at-risk students, a church, and a neighborhood outreach center that serves 200,000 meals a year.
"Every day is a miraculous event, a day that is life-changing," says Atack, a onetime Realtor who has developed properties in Richmond's affluent west-end suburbs since 1985.
His life is one that the mission has changed.
No, Atack, whose $46 million-a-year firm develops around 325 lots a year for condos, offices, strip malls, and residential neighborhoods, was never homeless. The son of a Realtor, he caught the real estate bug early—mowing the lawns of his father's for-sale properties—and spent the first part of his career brokering deals between developers and home builders. In 1985, he developed his first 65 lots and found "it was in my blood."
Like most busy entrepreneurs, Atack devoted his time and directed his talent to his growing business. But as Atack Properties prospered, Atack says, he realized "what my talents could do for others." And, he notes, "My first talent is my financial talent, being able to write a check and seeing what good that money can do immediately."
He has written plenty of them. Over the years, he has donated more than $250,000 to an organization that builds affordable retirement housing; $100,000 to a local cultural arts center; $100,000 to a Holocaust museum; $238,000 to his Baptist church; $55,000 to the YMCA; and $85,000 to a community development organization. He donated an $8 million, 80-acre property to a local youth soccer club, a $250,000 home to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a $190,000 property to a local daycare provider and an $800,000 school site to the county where he lives and works. In 2006 alone, he donated 40 percent of his income to charities.
"It seems the more I give, the better I do," notes Atack, who says his generosity has helped make his business more profitable, although he can't pinpoint how.
He calls it "fate."
The Rev. Jerry Fink calls it "faith."
It was Fink who started Atack, who displays a copy of John C. Maxwell's Ethics 101: What Every Leader Needs to Know in his company's reception area, on his philanthropic path 12 years ago, when Fink asked Atack for advice about building a low-income, continuous-care community for elderly Virginians. Atack wound up serving on the board of directors and has made a number of substantial donations to the projects of Virginia United Methodist Homes, where Fink was president.
"I've heard all my life, 'Put your money where your mouth is,'" Fink explains. "I think he puts his money where his faith is. The causes to which he contributes, he has great faith in them, confidence in them. ... He's firmly committed to anything he gets involved in."
Indeed, Fink, who nominated Atack for the Hearthstone award, estimates that the developer spends more than 40 percent of his time working with the charities—giving tours, talking up potential donors, serving on boards, offering advice, and even counseling patrons of Good Samaritan who take an interest in the construction field.
"He chooses his projects based upon the need that the project is seeking to meet," explains Fink, "and then Bob meets those needs. He feels that some way, the hand of God moved him in that direction."
IN THE BEGINNINGAtack agrees. The Catholic-turned-Baptist was watching television one evening 10 years ago when the Rev. Mike McClary, a recovering drug addict, appeared on the screen asking for donations for a summer camp for at-risk kids. Atack sent enough to sponsor two children, and McClary invited him to Bainbridge-based Good Samaritan Ministries for a tour.
"I was afraid to come to Bainbridge," Atack admits now, "but as fate would have it, this is my passion."
That became clear once he spent an hour with McClary, a Baptist minister who opened the mission in 1987 after a similar facility in Norfolk, Va., had helped him kick a drug habit that began as a teenager. In McClary's presence, Atack refers to himself as "Bob," and explains, "There are two Bobs." One is a toe-the-line businessman. The other rarely says no to a request from McClary.
McClary responds that Good Samaritan is Atack's "ministry," his fate. "I'm not real strong on coincidence," says McClary. "Bob's been good for Good Samaritan, but Good Samaritan has been good for Bob, too."
Indeed, notes McClary, who ran away from home at 13 and was homeless for nearly 20 years except for a brief, alcohol-marred stint in the military, "He's got some big developments [in Glen Allen], but this one affects more people. This one has meant the difference between someone living or dying on the streets."
Fink says "both" Bobs are imbued with a mission to help others.
The building of homes and neighborhoods, notes Fink, "is to provide for people. He makes money off of it ... that gives him a foundation and a footing to get involved in [charity work]. Being involved in these faith-based organizations is a constant reminder of the person he is—he maintains honesty and integrity—and he brings that to his business. Nothing breeds success like success."
And he brings his business acumen to the charities he chooses.
"He doesn't want to do something with an organization that is fly-by-night, one of those surface things that's here today, gone tomorrow," notes Fink. "He wants to do something that will have a lasting impact on helping people."
To that end, Atack visits the mission often; he knows many of the patrons and calls them by name. He talks to McClary on the phone every day. Atack Properties' accountants handle the mission's books. His son, a home builder, also helps out at the mission. And although Atack does not ask his 20-person staff to donate money or time to the cause, many do.
"Being involved in the mission has strengthened my faith because I see the results," says Atack, who has allowed a few mission "graduates" to use his credit to get financing so they could buy their first homes.
Next, says Atack, he hopes to help the mission expand its school before he retires.
"People's legacies," he says, "are so much defined by what they've accumulated. A legacy is better defined by what they do." He adds: "I think people do what they can."
As Atack and his visitor ride back to Atack Properties' suburban campus, Bob the builder swings by CrossRidge, a gated, age-restricted community packed with 650 low-maintenance homes ranging from single-family houses to townhomes to condominiums, with prices from $300,000 to $500,000. They abut an Atack Properties–developed shopping center.
"This," notes Bob the philanthropist, "is what enables us to have the abundance to help."

Remember Google TV, Google's initial attempt to jump into the smart TV and set-top box market? It may not have gotten very far, but now it appears its failure isn't stopping Google from trying again.
Meet Android TV. As reported on Saturday by The Verge, Android TV is Google's second try at a smart TV interface. It won't be primarily focused on smartphone-style apps as Google TV was, and it won't be solely about streaming media as other set-top boxes are, The Verge notes. It will, however, bring games into the mix, not unlike the recently announced Amazon Fire TV.
According to leaked documents obtained by The Verge, Google writes,A "Android TV is an entertainment interface, not a computing platform... It's all about finding and enjoying content with the least amount of friction."
ArtworkA published by The VergeA show a grid-based interface that's similar to what you'll find on other set-top box UIs. You'll also find apps for Google services such as Google Music, YouTube, and Hangouts, as well as for other streaming services like Netflix, Vevo, Hulu, and Pandora.
The presence of a Store icon indicates that you'll be able to add apps for other services as they become available.
It's the latest entry in an increasingly crowded field of contenders that want a piece of the living room action. As of now, it's impossible to tell based on a few hundred words and a handful of screenshots if Android TV is necessarily any better than--or significantly different from--existing consoles or set-top boxes. So on some level, this is at the very least an attempt at remaining relevant in an emerging market.
And in that battle for relevance, Google can't afford to be left behind.

The name usually given in English to textiles like these is 'Perugia towels', deriving from tovaglie perugine. Tovaglia is usually translated as tablecloth, and tovagliolo as napkin, but their use was in both ecclesiastical and secular contexts. Their function included napkin and table cover, as well as altar cloth and sacristy hand towel. They were woven in mixed twill, ofter diaper, with white linen warp and weft, and had the characteristic feature of bands of pattern created with a supplementary weft of cotton, almost always dyed blue with indigo or woad, though occasionally in red or brown.
An inventory of 1482 describes two napkins being '...in the style of Perugia' (banbagia a la perugina)so the association of such blue-banded textiles with this region may date back to at least the 15th century.
The widest band on this towel has two rows of confronted wyverns (mythical winged dragons) and the band at the top has shields with a 'vol', or pair of wings.
