Dove season kicks off Sunday, Sept. 1 across most of the state. Texas dove hunters number upwards of 250,000 and collectively bag between 5-6 million doves during the 70-day season. Thanks to new rules approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) this year, hunters can possess up to 45 birds -- three times the daily bag limit. Previously, the possession limit was twice the daily bag. Daily bag limits still apply. The USFWS also approved for this year an expanded Special White-wing Dove Area (SWWDA) in South Texas. The SWWDA will now extend eastward along its current boundary and continue south along Interstate 37 from San Antonio to Corpus Christi, effectively doubling its current size. "For the last two decades, white-winged dove populations have steadily expanded both their numbers and their geographical extent," said Dave Morrison, Small Game Program Director with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. "We believe, and the Service agrees, an expansion is appropriate to take advantage of additional hunting opportunities." To take advantage of the earliest possible opening dates for the special area, the season will run Sunday, Sept. 1 through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2, and then reopen Saturday, Sept. 7 and Sunday, Sept. 8. The daily bag limit during the combined four-day season is 15 doves in the aggregate to include no more than two mourning doves and two white-tipped doves and hunting during the early season in the SWWDA is permitted only from noon to sunset. Dove season in the North and Central zones will run concurrent from Sept. 1-Oct. 23 and Dec. 20-Jan. 5. The South Zone dove season is set for Sept. 20-Oct. 27 and Dec. 20-Jan. 20, with the regular season in the SWWDA Sept. 20-Oct. 23 and Dec. 20-Jan. 20. According to Shaun Oldenburger, TPWD's Dove Program Leader, hunters can expect to see an increase from last year in dove numbers. "It appears that breeding dove numbers have increased from last year in many regions of the state," he said. "Increased precipitation helped improve dove production and generate ample food supplies. It should be a good season." -30-

Well, this is one line you cannot miss! Yes, gorgeous dolls, the Benefit Core Color Makeup Collection is so awesome that you cannot help but fall in love with those goodies that will help you get an impeccable and uber-glam '20 beauty look. Oh, and you might have already guessed that everything is inspired by The Great Gatsby. The brand's Core Color collection packaging is inspired by the Art Deco design of the Golden Gate Bridge.
The collection includes everything you need in order to have fun and try a retro, chic look. The Benefit Core Color Makeup collection comes with new shades of its Ultra Plush Lip Glosses (hot pink, clear fuchsia, soft berry, bubblegum pink, clear, bright-pink coral) and Creaseless Cream Shadows (oyster pink, sparkling champagne, brushed chrome, pearly lavender, arctic blue, rich fawn, polished copper, antique bronze, pretty pewter, smoldering charcoal). The label also relaunched its Longwear Powder Shadows in pale shell, soft matte pink, soft rose gold, golden peach, matte espresso, and other.
So, how do we create that jaw-dropping Gatsby glam? Benefit shows us one step at a time.
Step 1: First of all, you need to prep your face with Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Brightening foundation for the ultimate butter-esque skin. Next, prime your eye with a little Stay Don't Stray so your look will last through the whole night.
Step 2: Now it's time to use your Creaseless Creams and Longwear Powder Shadows! Begin with Call My Bluff! and dab from your lash line all the way up to your brow line for a creamy smooth lid. Then, take my two cents to the outer corner of your eye, brushing toward the inner corner. Apply it with a heavy hand for those speakeasy-worthy bronze highlights. Brush Skinny Jeans into the outer corner of your eye and take a hard angle definer brush to sweep it across your top and bottom lash line for a smokey liner effect. Lastly, finish with They're Real! mascara for dramatic lashes.
Step 3: For a natural-looking rosy glow on your lips, grab your Benetint and apply, apply, apply! The more generous you are with Benetint, the brighter and bolder your red lip will be. Oh, and more flirtatious too!

We Have a Winner!
And the winner of the Say Yes to the Dress poll is......
This outfit!
Just kidding!! The black dress won, with 10 votes. I can't believe 30 people voted overall! I love every single last one of you. I am going to buy the dress next weekend. Eeee!! It's exciting to know which dress you are going to wear to get utterly wasted in, and barf all over the place! Thank you everyone, for your help. Stay tuned for the shoes now...
Looking for that dress found my sister and I at our old haunt: Bramalea City Centre. I hadn't been there in a while, since I don't live in Brampton and there really is no reason to go there when you have the Eaton Center here in Toronto. I used to spend my life in this mall. No joke. This is where I practically lived as a teenager. On the very odd occasion when I go back there it makes me a little sad to remember those days. They were certainly care free man. And very drug filled. This mall was my mecca when I was high.
It has changed so much, yet it still feels exactly the same. After my sister and I tried on dresses we gorged on Manchu Wok. Who needs to look good for this wedding? Not us!
My main reason for going to Brampton a lot these days is to visit my sister's best friend Joyce, and her sister Liz. I have grown up with these ladies and love them like my family, because they are. These two women make my life feel more complete and I would take a bullet for them. So now that my sister lives in the city and she visits them every two weeks or so, it's easy for her to swing by and pick me up and visit, and thank god for that! I am growing to need these bi-weekly girl fests.
One of the last times we visited, we drove through a RIDICULOUS snowstorm to check out a couple of the old houses we used to live in. I grew up in Brampton, so it has a lot of nostalgia for me. The house below is where my best friend Ciara used to live. She moved in just a few houses down from me when I was 11-years-old, and the rest is history. We have been sister's from another mister ever since.
This was my old house. Joyce and Liz and their family lived across the street from us (well, diagonally, not directly). Oh this house and it's memories!! This STREET and it's memories! We all call this street 'the Wonder Years street', because it really was. Back in the days when I was going to marry Joyce and Liz's little brother, and all the kids on the block would play hide and seek just before dark. I spent an entire summer grounded in this house (LAME, parents!!) and I would sit on one side of the door while Ciara sat on the other, touching hands because we couldn't hang out, and an entire summer was wasted. Ok, we never touched hands. Mentally maybe, but not physically. God aren't parents soooooooo dumb? Just kidding! I deserved it, I was an asshole.
And then we visited the house I was born in. Not physically born in, but it was the house I was brought home to. My dad planted that tree the year I was born. Thirty two years has treated it kindly. Going around to these places sparked some pretty interesting and deep conversations between my sister and I. Things like, what would we have done differently if we only knew as children what we would grow up to carry in our souls? It's pretty heavy to think about. I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't have changed anything, because that is what made me the person I am today, and I don't want to be any different. Maybe a little naturally happier, but otherwise, we need to live and learn from our mistakes.
So....not to steer away from life's big mysteries, but....
I have decided to go blonde. Like full out. I just wanted to be a little more subtle about and went a bit lighter at first. But most likely the next time I go I will take the full plunge! So let's see if blondes really do have more fun! Thank you Joyce for once again making me beautiful. I owe you millions. If I had it, it would be yours.
Summer can't come quickly enough.

'Kingsman' sequel releases first explosive trailer
'I hope you're ready for what comes next.'
By: Ben Gourlay from Apr 27, 2017 @ 2:09 CDT
The much anticipated new trailer for the 'Kingsman' sequel is here, and it looks like it's quite convincingly upped the ante from the first film.
Starring Taron Egerton, Channing Tatum, Colin Firth, Mark Strong and even including a cameo from Elton John, 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' finds the crew teaming up with the US spy organisation called Statesman in order to battle a ruthless common enemy. Matthew Vaughn once again steps behind the camera for the sequel, which has been granted a big budget increase to $140 million for its second outing.
'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' is set to hit cinemas worldwide from 22 September 2017.
- >> NEXT STORY: GeForce GT 1030 to cost $80, will compete against RX 550
- << PREVIOUS STORY: Intel's new Xeon rocks 28C/56T, costs over $12,000

As we prepare to slide into the next litLAB meeting, I'd like to put something in your heads: longhand drafting. Longhand is often regarded as the king of composition, but I'm a poet that pretty much grew up with computers – I'm at home both ways.
My personal take on longhand drafting
To get this ball rolling, let me describe my poetic drafting process. I generally begin with a word, phrase, or cadence knocking around my head. I'll perversely delay writing it down at first and just consider it for a while.
Next, I'll write it down, and build a poem around it. I don't count it as drafting until I have what "looks like" a poem ready to go. Then I will do one of two things: I will keep drafting longhand, noting the draft number, or stick it in Googledocs.
Either way, this takes days or weeks, and forces me to work on discrete drafts, learning the strongest parts of the poem, eliminating the weaker ones (or recycling them for later work).
At this point, the real work is well under way. Once it is in googledocs, it will go through at least 3-4 drafts until I'm happy. I enjoy this because it's simply easier to swap phrases and stanzas around, or even pop the damn thing into a table if I'm doing something with rhyme or form. I can visually seperate the lines on a screen in ways I can't really get from paper. But paper does provide that sensory connection I crave.
Once it's typed, I try to keep it in digital form, for good or ill, that's how they will "interact" with the world the most. I only know I'm done when, like Our Oscar, I spend all morning taking out a comma, and all afternoon putting it back in.
Ok, now you chime in on drafting!
So enough of me, how about you all? How important is longhand drafting in your writing process? Does anyone still do it? Are there any benefits you get from this method that you can't get from hopping right on the computer?
See y'all this weekend 😉

Many who know me well know that I'm a history buff and I particularly enjoy the interesting (and sometimes extraordinary) origins of words, phrases, events, traditions and other things. Naturally I'd wonder who thought up the idea for the Appalachian Trail. I found that the answer is pretty clear and well-established.
In October 1921 the Journal of the American Institute of Architects published an article written by forester and conversationalist (and sometimes philosopher), Benton MacKaye. [More about MacKaye in a future post.] That article, An Appalachian Trail: A Project in Regional Planning, called for the construction of "a great trail" through the Appalachian Mountains, from Georgia to Maine. MacKaye's vision was actually different and more ambitious than the footpath we have today. He envisioned not just a hiking trail but a series or system of recreational and farming camps that would create "an utopian refuge" from urban life.
Inevitable, MacKaye was inspired in part by the Green Mountain Club and its 273-mile lone "Long Trail," in Vermont, which existed at the time, having been conceived by James P. Taylor as early as 1910 as the country's first hiking trail of any significant (multi-day) length. History now records that Benton MacKaye had his "epiphany" about the AT on the same mountaintop – Stratton Mountain in Vermont – where Taylor first conceived of the idea for the Long Trail.
In may respects, the creation of these long distance hiking trails in the first part of the 20th century was a response to the urbanization and industrialization of the United States in the last quarter of the prior century. Intellectually or philosophically, MacKaye's "utopian dream" is a direct outgrowth of the romantic (and its related "transcendental") movement, which arose during the second half of the 19th century.
Please follow this planned adventure as I use the year prior to starting the trip to discuss planning for my thru-hike as well as the history, personalities, and events about the Trail. (If you have not already, you can sign up at the right to receive an email whenever a new post is made).
Please feel free to pose whatever questions you may have about this planned journey in the "Comments" section below any post.
Finally, please share this site with others who might be interested in the Appalachian Trail or with my plan to attempt a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail.
** Rating System. Due to the difference experience level people have with the AT, I will "warn" people at the beginning of a post as to whether I consider the information "Basic" or "Beginner" level – for those essentially new to all things Appalachian Trail. I like to think of Beginners as "Day Hikers." (Follow along and by the end of my hike you will be completely literate about the AT and thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail.) The other "ratings" will be "I" for "Intermediate." and "E" for "Expert." I like to think of those with Intermediate knowledge as "Section Hikers" and those with Expert knowledge as "Thru-Hikers." [For instance, a Beginner will not yet know to what Section Hiker or Thru-Hiker refers. More about Section Hikers and Thru-Hikers in a future post.]

The holiday shopping season is just about over, and Amazon sold several products people couldn't get enough of. But what was the best-selling one?
» RELATED: Watch Alexa refuse to answer questions about connection to CIA
It was the Echo Dot, according to new data released by the e-commerce company. In fact, it was also the top-selling product available from any manufacturer across all categories on Amazon.com.
Its newer Alexa-enabled devices were all the rage this winter, too, according to the analysis. The Echo Spot, Echo Dot and Echo Buttons all sold out during the holiday season, with "tens of millions" of Alexa-enabled devices sold worldwide.
The Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote was another hot ticket item. Customers bought more than twice as many Amazon Fire TV Sticks, compared to last holiday season.

"Since Day One we have obsessed over what we believe our customers care about – incredible deals and low prices, fast and free shipping, and a wide selection of top products – and we continue to provide all three, all the time," Jeff Wilke, CEO of Worldwide Consumer, said in a statement.
The corporation didn't just gather information on sales, it also collected details on how consumers used its items.
The most requested song from Alexa customers this holiday season was "Jingle Bells," and Martinis and Manhattans were the most popular cocktails.
Additionally, users turned on their holiday lights more than a million times with Alexa, and they also asked for tens of millions of jokes this holiday season.

I downloaded the Glide/Blood exe file and installed it but not sure if I did it right. I already have the GOG version, was I supposed to install it in that directory or keep it separate per the default?
It works ok, maybe I'm expecting too much but still looks "rough" but probably need to tweak some stuff. Can anyone recommend some settings that might help? Running it per the "dosbox" toggle within Glidos.

Figures from Media Create show that the console has recently surpassed the Xbox 360 in lifetime-to-date sales, with 1,643,095 Wii Us sold in the region. That's just a little more than 1,500 units more than the 360.

Just because they've hit their goal early doesn't mean there isn't any reason to keep funding the project. There's still 10 days to raise enough money to fund additional content like bonus chapters, alternate costumes and the ability to play as Shantae's rival, Risky Boots.No comments
Mighty No. 9 Coming to Consoles
The Mighty No. 9 kickstarter broke the $2.2 million mark and reached another stretch goal, which means the game will come out for the Wii U, PS3 and 360.
The game's already hit its $900,000 goal, but there are still plenty of stretch goals to be met. There's exactly two weeks left to raise money to get extra features like Challenge Mode, extra stage/boss, online co-op challenge mode and PS4 and Xbox One release.No comments
Child of Light Is A JRPG-Inspired Title from Ubisoft
At their Digital Days event, Ubisoft announced Child of Light, a new downloadable adventure from the creative director and lead writer of Far Cry 3.
The game draws heavy inspiration from JRPGs and classic fairytales, combining turn-based combat with watercolor, storybook visuals.
Bringing the game's visuals to life is the UbiArt Framework engine, the same engine used in Rayman Legends.
Description of the story from the press release:
The game puts players in the shoes of Aurora, a child stolen from her home, who, in her quest to return, must bring back the sun, the moon and the stars held captive by the mysterious Queen of the Night. Helped by her companion Igniculus the firefly and several unlikely allies, Aurora will face her darkest fears, including dragons and other mystical creatures in this modern take on a coming-of-age story.
Child of Light is coming to Wii U, PS3, PS4, 360, Xbox One and PC in 2014.

New CRYENGINE to Support Wii U, PS4, Xbox One and PC
Crytek announced today the newest version of their proprietary CRYENGINE game engine.
One of the major changes in this release is the support for pretty much every major gaming system under the Sun – Wii U, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, 360 and PC.
Crytek Business Development Director Carl Jones outlined some of the other changes and tweaks made for the new release.
"We have revolutionized many parts of the engine: we have overhauled our entire lighting system, built movie quality character rendering and animation solutions, vastly improved the speed and effectiveness of our Sandbox editor, and even our rendering has changed with tessellation, pixel accurate displacement mapping and now physical based rendering;"
The last time an iteration of the CryEngine appeared on a Nintendo console was a modified CryEngine 1 used for FarCry: Vengeance for the Wii.No comments
Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 Passing Over Wii U, Xbox One and PS4
The next yearly installment of the Pro Evolution Soccer series won't be coming to the next generation of consoles, according to a press release sent out by developer Konami.
Adam Bhatti, the Pro Evolution Soccer Community Manager for Europe, says that the reason for skipping on the Xbox One and PS4 is because they don't want to simply create a port.
"In the past people accused us of being lazy," Bhatti said on Twitter. "We're adamant of not making the same mistakes, and making sure we create amazing football games. It's hardly amazing making the nextgen version prettier. We shouldn't have that mentality, and you shouldn't expect that. Aim higher."
As for the Wii U version, Bhatti understands that there is demand for the game, but he says it's just a matter of the install base not being big enough to warrant dedicating the resources for it.
Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 will be coming to PS3, 360, PC and PSP later this year.

Just got out of the Heat locker room.
Here's the latest:
1. Brendan Haywood is out. Rick Carlisle sounded concerned about Tyson Chandler getting in foul trouble. While Ian Mahinmi could get minutes, it's just as likely that Carlisle will go small, with Dirk Nowitzki getting some center minutes. "We've got to play the game on the ground as much as possible," Carlisle said.
2. LeBron James has spoken about attacking from the start. He certainly had an aggressive demeanor in the locker room, loudly reciting Jay-Z lyrics as they blared off his headphones. "You follow in my footsteps, you can't fail."
3. If you're sentimental, this might interest you. The Heat is using the hockey locker room, rather than the visiting basketball room, because it's more spacious. It also happens to be the room the team used during the 2006 NBA Finals, and it was champagne-soaked after Game 6.
4. Same inactives for Miami: Magloire, Ilgauskas, Pittman. Erik Spoelstra didn't sound like he planned to get James Jones in the mix.

Forty Seven Inc. to Collaborate on a Novel Immuno-Oncology Combination for Leukemia and Bladder Cancer
-Forty Seven Inc.'s CD47 antibody to be evaluated in combination with PD-L1 antibody with the aim of engaging both T-cell and macrophage components of the immune system against acute myeloid leukemia and bladder cancer-
MENLO PARK, Calif., Jan. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Forty Seven Inc., a clinical-stage company focused on developing the next generation of transformational immuno-oncology treatments to enable patient's immune systems to defeat their cancer, today announced an agreement with Genentech Inc., a member of the Roche Group., for Genentech to sponsor two clinical trials combining Forty Seven's CD47 antibody, Hu5F9-G4, with Genentech's PD-L1 antibody, atezolizumab (TECENTRIQ®), in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and with urothelial (bladder) cancer.
CD47 is an immune modulator molecule overexpressed on cancer cells that sends inhibitory signals to macrophages. Binding of Hu5F9-G4 to CD47 takes the brakes off macrophages enabling them to phagocytose, or swallow, tumor cells.
Craig Gibbs, Ph.D., M.B.A., Chief Business Officer at Forty Seven Inc. said, "There is a large unmet medical need for new therapies for AML and bladder cancer patients, particularly those who are elderly or have compromised organ function and are not able to withstand the side-effects of chemotherapy. We are excited to evaluate these novel combinations in collaboration with a global leader in oncology."
CD47 blockade as another immune checkpoint therapy for cancer. Robert H. Vonderheide, Nature Medicine 21, 1122, 2015.
TECENTRIQ® (atezolizumab) is a registered trademark of Genentech, a member of the Roche Group.
About Hu5F9-G4 and Forty Seven Inc.
Forty Seven Inc. is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company that is developing therapies licensed from Stanford University targeting cancer immune evasion pathways. The lead program Hu5F9-G4 is a monoclonal antibody against the CD47 receptor, a "don't eat me" signal that cancer cells commandeer to avoid being ingested by macrophages. This antibody is currently being evaluated in five clinical studies in patients with solid tumors, acute myeloid leukemia, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and colorectal carcinoma. For a comprehensive list of all Hu5F9-G4 trials, please visit clinicaltrials.gov. Forty Seven is located at 1490 O'Brien Drive, Suite A, Menlo Park, CA 94025, U.S.A.

TO: All Providers
As required by federal law, the Alabama Medicaid Agency audits hospital reports and records to determine if overpayments involving Medicaid outpatient and inpatient accounts exist. The audits are conducted by the Agency's contractor, Health Management Systems. As an agent of the Alabama Medicaid Agency, HMS has authorization to access and review patient financial records involving Medicaid accounts.
HMS's reviews will focus on transactions affecting the financial accounts of selected Medicaid recipients. HMS will inform the Medicaid Agency of all outpatient and inpatient overpayments as well as third party payments made to the hospital and not credited to Medicaid.
As a condition of participation in the Medicaid program, all providers agree to determine the legal liability of third parties to pay for services provided to Medicaid recipients and to comply with state Medicaid third party liability recovery requirements. To that end, providers are expected to make all requested patient financial records available to HMS representatives and to have patient billing staff present when on-site audit visits are made.
Provider questions should be directed to Shari Rudd at 334-353-3403 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Authority: Under Section 1902(a) (25) of the Social Security Act provides, "State agencies administering their Medicaid program will take all reasonable measures to determine the legal liability of third parties to reimburse for services arising from injury, disease or disability." Pursuant to Title 42 Chapter IV Part 433.139 of the Code of Federal Regulations and the authority cited therein, Medicaid providers are subject to reviews in order to ensure compliance with State Medicaid third party liability recovery requirements.

"We Like Things That Continue to Twist Us." A Chat with Ander Monson, Editor of DIAGRAM
For seventeen years, DIAGRAM has been publishing an online mix of found diagrams, schematic drawings, poetry, fiction, nonfiction, video, audio, and hybridized pieces. Ander Monson, its founding editor, is the author of six books and a [website], among other things. Two books are forthcoming from Graywolf: The Gnome Stories and I Will Take the Answer, both in 2019. He also edits the website Essay Daily, and the New Michigan Press.
Interview by Annie Kim
I want to start with a poem from Susan Howe's "Souls of the Labadie Tract" (2007) I was reading yesterday:
To go down the bay or
cross back bridle time
hold fast mere wanton
gilding almost nothing
Thus poems diagrams
crying out, "Oh, Oh—"
We are strangers here
on pain of forfeiture
The word "diagrams" caught my attention, of course, but the urgency in the idea of poems as diagrams (moving towards?), their crying out, struck me. Does any of this catch you? I'm thinking specifically about DIAGRAM's interest in representation, naming, pointing, and schematics, which is refreshingly different from most "here's what we like" statements in journals.
Those "here's what we like" statements are always pretty bogus, but I guess we editors feel like we have to write them? What every editor wants is to have readers spend time with what they publish and make their own assessments. No one likes to explain the idiosyncrasies of their subjectivity because either you have to be ridiculously general when you get down to making blanket statements or you sound petty when you detail some minor prohibition (no sea turtles). The best scenario is that you can be entertaining, and it helps if you have some sense of identity for what you want to look like, at least, and see if that look can convey something that your statement itself cannot. And I think I get into some of the headspace you're talking about down in question 3, which I answered first, contrarian as I guess I am by nature.
I'm not sure if I love or hate the term "transgeneric," but the work DIAGRAM publishes definitely gets a lot energy from genre borders—what you've called the "seam" in a piece called "Short Lessons in Hybridity" on Essay Daily. Can you talk about what excites you guys as editors when it comes to hybrid or hybrid-seeming pieces?
I'm glad that "hybridity" is getting a little more action among writers and readers these days, but it's also kind of a sad testament to how effective we've been in delineating those borders and how strong they are or ought to be that we get that excited about the idea of violating them. Writers have been transgressing forever. It's not new. Well, I guess we should take our excitement where we can get it, and it can give you a sense of freshness and adventure when you go off the map like that, and that electricity is certainly one of the things we key into as readers and editors. And in part because we began in part to make a space for work that's playful with those borders, it makes us happy when we read work that recognizes that we're its people. And anyway, no work that's fully comfortable in its genre lasts or bears a repeat visit. We like things that continue to twist us.
DIAGRAM the website only allows movements through space in traditional forward/backward/up/down directions. In your dream world, would DIAGRAM be able to move or show differently? And on a pseudo-related note, do you see the journal ever publishing video-poems or video-anything?
Though it's true that more often than not we publish text or image or some combination, we have published video (and audio). We did an all-audio issue, for instance: 3.6. Or you can find a video essay in 14.4. Or an interactive fiction sort of review in 17.4, or an interactive piece by Ali Pearl in 16.3, just to name a few examples. People send us vastly fewer nontextual submissions than they do poems. I'd love to see (and publish) more nontextual submissions, but writers and artists working in those media are fewer and further between, probably in part because writing a damn fine poem is already pretty difficult. It's not as if after four hundred years we've even solved something as restrictive and specific as the sonnet. If you add in the possibilities that open up for a poem or essay or story when you add video, then the complication (and the necessity for technical skill in multiple media) rises quickly. Because we're online we're able to publish multimedia stuff, so we like to do it when we get something special. I think it's also that there are lots of artists doing great work in other media, but those artists aren't used to submitting their work to "literary" magazines (and maybe they don't even know what those are), so we may not even be on their radar.
And I'm not actually sure what you mean by movements through space. I mean, the online page isn't exactly a space, though it makes it easier to talk about it as such (and even calling webpages "pages" betrays a kind of too-easy heuristic that belies how weird it is to be reading words that are made up of bits on a screen that is made of light). But I get your meaning: We do take a fairly traditional sense of the page as a default position: our design inspiration is largely taken from old print books that publish diagrams, and our typography is pretty traditional. But yet we've published work that goes well beyond that. I guess for me the thing that makes diagrams themselves interesting is the constraint inherent in representing something in a diminished form. Everything a good diagram diagrams is more complicated than it is, and occurs in at least one more dimension than a diagram operates in (though we also like those diagrams that fail in some marvelous way to do what they're supposed to do—ditto with some work we publish: failure's fine as long as it's marvelous). So the challenge is trying to capture and lay open something of that complexity in an accessible way, which is something that one does in a poem or an essay or a story: try to compress or hook some aspect of the uncompressible and unhookable into something smaller that you can hold in your hand or mind for a little while at least.
Any words of advice for writers who like what you're doing at DIAGRAM and want to submit their stuff?
The same advice everyone else gives always applies, because it's correct advice: read the magazine before submitting. That's not just good advice for improving your odds of submitting (though it will certainly do that), but we like to believe it's good advice for improving (or expanding anyhow) your writing. Any contact you're making with others' well-thought through arrangements of words can only help. And if you spend some time with what we do and it doesn't spark you, save both of us some time and find another place to send your work, because it's pretty unlikely that we're going to be a match for what you think you do.
Lightning round: name five books that either you or your editorial team have read recently that blew your mind.

3 reasons for failed pitches
If your media relations efforts are met with radio silence, you might be committing one of these mistakes. Here's how to fix it.
Contacting journalists and getting your brand placed in a story begins with writing a pitch.
Crafting a message that is strong and interesting can be a challenge—and there are several mistakes that many PR pros make during the process.
Here are three common pitching foibles, along with how you can fix them:
1. Hogging the spotlight
Though you are writing a pitch to introduce a journalist to your brand and share why they should cover your story, don't make the mistake of making it all about you.
Instead of touting all of your organization's or client's recent accomplishments and introducing outstanding new product offerings, make the pitch about the journalist and their readers. Share why your story will benefit them; you'll be more likely to catch their attention.
2. Lengthy prose
It may take many paragraphs or pages to tell your full story, but writing a pitch is about spelling out the basics and teasing the journalist about the newsworthy qualities of your brand.
It's best to leave out most of the information in favor of a few key details; if the reporter wants the full story, he or she will ask you for it.
3. Press release fatigue
A press release may cover all of the necessary information you are trying to convey, but they can bog down journalists who are looking for news.
Try pairing a press release with a quick email introduction highlighting its main bullet points and key takeaways. The reporter will appreciate you taking the time to craft a separate message and simplify the story.
Writing a pitch that's only about you or your brand, drafting drawn out messages and flooding inboxes with press releases are good ways to ensure your emails end up in a reporter's trash folder.
What tips do you have for writing a pitch that's likely to get you noticed?

Rodriguez: I'd direct Han Solo film
Robert Rodriguez has revealed that he wouldn't turn down the opportunity to direct a Star Wars spin-off movie, especially if it was about the adventures of Han Solo.
The Texan filmmaker, best known for directing Machete, Desperado and Sin City, said he would be open to taking control of one of the sci-fi movies in the future.
"If there was something that somebody said, 'Here, Han Solo, his own adventures.' I'd go do that," he told MTV.com.
Robert - who has been working on the Machete and Sin City sequels - reckons spin-offs based on George Lucas' Star Wars characters could work on the big screen.
"I don't mind them doing more Star Wars. I also like the whole idea of them doing off-shoot films, like you just have a Boba Fett movie over here," he continued.
"There's so much you can do. George has built such an enormous world... who's going to live up to that? It's almost like they should just branch it out, and let people play with those characters. There's such rich stuff."
JJ Abrams has just been confirmed to direct the seventh Star Wars film, after Disney acquired the rights to the franchise.

DHX Single-Use Heat Exchanger
Team: ASI Life Sciences
Debut: October 2013
Field Position: Biopharmaceutical process environments
Skill Set: Only high-capacity, single-use heat exchanger solution ready for commercial bioprocessing applications The DHX Single-Use Heat Exchanger brings together the class-leading heat transfer properties of a high-capacity plate and frame heat exchanger concept, with all of the advantages of single-use into one unit.
Performance Stats:
Regulatory Profile: Ready for cGMP and QbD compliant process environments
Coach's Notes: The DHX Single-Use Heat Exchanger offers significant advantages for cell culture at the manufacturing scale, allowing manufacturing engineers to build temperature control into their process without having to sacrifice the benefits of single-use. For the first time it is possible to add temperature control into the cell culture process flow while retaining a complete single-use set up; enabling 100 percent confidence in sterility without the requirement for CIP/SIP, and increasing the quality of finished product through uniform temperature control.
Scout's Notes: Without an available high capacity single-use heat exchanger, manufacturing engineers have been forced to choose one of two sub-optimal options: Insert a stainless steel heat exchanger along with its incumbent CIP/SIP infrastructure or use a jacketed mixing tote or similar technology as a stop-gap solution. These solutions are not ideal, each bringing a series of problems that manufacturing engineers have had to contend with. With the advent of the DHX Single-Use Heat Exchanger, there is now a solution.
Team Resources: ASI's fully custom-configured systems give biotherapeutic manufacturers the flexibility to maximize efficiencies, minimize costs and alleviate risks in the production of biopharmaceutical applications. Closely allied with industry suppliers, the company is dedicated to providing the flexibility to integrate Single-Use Systems for the Biopharmaceutical Manufacturers' unique processes.

The PD-LT allows online partial discharge detection on cable accessories such as cable head for safety and maintenance purposes. The partial discharge level is displayed on the built-in audible and visual indicators, and on the remote display.
Insulation faults are an important factor in degradation and reduction of the lifetime of a medium voltage component. This translates into raised exploitation costs and questionable reliability, while economic performance and reliability are key criteria in the evaluation of an electricity supplier. It is important that an electric utility have a widespread, quick and efficient tool to check for quality and health of its electrical network. The market's demands on electric utilities necessarily transfer to their subcontractors, who must comply with higher quality requirements for their work. Like the electric utility for which he works, the subcontractor that has tools allowing him to monitor and to certify the quality of his job will become an attractive and reliable choice.
The PD-LT indicates the intensity of the partial discharges in dB, thus the reading is kept as a simple intensity level indication, proportional to the probability of a fault's presence in the tested medium voltage accessory.
The remote display gives a dB value of the probe's measurement. The dB value will vary along with the discharges indicators on the PD-LT probe. The measurement range is from 0 to 65dB and the display will show ''OL'' if the reading is over 65dB.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the visibility of a web site or a web page in search engines via the "natural" or un-paid ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Other forms of search engine marketing (SEM) target paid listings. In general, the earlier (or higher on the page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, video search and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.
Search engines are one of the primary ways that Internet users find web sites. That's why a web site with good search engine listings may see a dramatic increase in traffic. Everyone wants those good listings. Unfortunately, many web sites appear poorly in search engine rankings or may not be listed at all because they fail to consider how search engines work. This process involves implementation of organic SEO techniques to make search engine treat your website and its content as "important". Other SEO service providers may offer you guaranteed top ranks in search engines, but be advice that using keyword spam of illegitimate link building may give your website a brief boost but raise red flags at search engines to mark your website down permanently or worse be completely thrown out of indexes in the long run.

ZURICH: Nestle reported slightly worse-than-expected half-year sales on Thursday, hurt by a recall of its Maggi noodles in India.
The world's largest packaged food company, with brands like Nescafe, KitKat and Perrier, reported sales of 42.84 billion Swiss francs ($43.87 billion) in the half year to June versus analysts' average expectation for 42.95 billion, according to a Reuters poll.
Net profit was 4.5 billion, lagging analysts' average estimate of 4.74 billion.
Like all consumer goods companies, Nestle has been grappling with slowing sales as once-hot economies like China and Brazil cool and European consumers continue to purchase cautiously.

That may be true today but that wasn't the case when I subscribed to BT Sport and there is nothing in the order confirmation either. There is some consumer law that requires service providers to ensure they make very clear there are onerous conditions and explicitely get permission. BT failed to do this and have no evidence to prove otherwise. It will cost them over £100 pound if I go to the ombudsman and they will lose custom so not sure why they do it.
Your case is slightly different in that you were upgrading a package in my case I was accepting BTs offer of 'free' BT Sport becuase I had broadband but in trith the broadband costs me £80 for three months approximately.

I wasn't trying to compare, just commenting that in my view the contract conditions for BT Sport were very clear, even to someone like me who was not directly affected.
"Not quite with you. "That may be true today?" I took BT Sports when it was first launched. I wasn't upgrading. Are you just seeing what you want to see?"
If I wasn't aware my broadband contract had been extended on different terms then I didn't see it. I wouldn't be really looking for any small print as the offer was presented to as something I could have as broadband customer and all I had to do was put in my SKY card details. It is clear from this forum that many other people were not aware. My understanding is that BT have now changed the screen. Online processes are problematic which is why you get an order confirmation. As it's such an important change in the contract you would expect to see very prominently 'your contract has been extended from this date to that date'. The BT operator first said it was in the order confirmation but when I sent a copy she couldn't find and feel back on the fact it 'would have been mentioned during the online process'. Well BT dont record the online process so there is no way of telling what I saw that day, where it was on the screen or how I accepted the onerous terms.
Bt have now admitted there may be a problem with the process and I have had my contract cancelled.
Ok we have fed this information back to our process people as we are aware that there may be an issue with the re contracting aspect not being clear.
Hi All
I didn't realise that my contract would be renewed either but that isn't the real issue for me.
I ordered BT Sport when it was first announced (aproximately) in May 2013 but of course the service didn't start until 1st August 2013.
My question is..... when will my contract be up? Would it be May 2014 or 31 July 2014?
Thanks for your interest.
try live chat they should be able to tell you but I expect May
I also ordered the free BT Sport in May 2013 at the same time as a new phone/broadband/tv package.
After BT seemingly messing up the BT Sport bit and after me chasing it up in June and July, they ended up ordering it again without me asking them to do so. I phoned up to check that they hadn't moved the end date for any contract minimum term. They checked and said no I was still only tied in for anything up to May. I'll find out for definite if that was true in a couple of months.
What will be interesting to know is whether for me the current free BT Sport ends in May or the end of July. The last order confirmation I got seemed to suggest the end of July and that I could still continue getting it for free after that if I renewed the BT Sport subscription and committed to BT phone/broadband for another 12 months. But we will have to wait and see exactly how the freebie plays out this year.

Product Description
The Traxxas Rustler XL-5® Waterproof for More Power and More Fun!
The best-selling Traxxas Rustler is a proven favorite with a formula for rugged fun that nothing else can touch. The Rustler blows the doors off the competition with more power, smoother control, better grip, and performance that makes it one of the fastest Ready-To-Race® electric trucks available. The Rustler rips off-road with its powerful Titan® 12-Turn modified 550 motor, XL-5 Electronic Speed Control, and Revo®-spec Torque-Control™ slipper clutch. It's made for power-sliding, full-throttle, off-road action and aggressive driving fun—and not just in the dirt! With Traxxas' exclusive waterproof electronics, Rustler can blast through puddles, mow through mud and shred snow. Your R/C adventures are limited only by your imagination. And with a top speed of 35+mph*, Rustler simply leaves everything else back on the work bench.
|Get tips in the PIT PASS section
Only Traxxas could put this kind of performance, innovation, and overall value into a Ready-To-Race package that delivers the satisfaction you expect from a high-performance electric stadium truck. Speed, durability, and stunning looks are what make the Traxxas Rustler a cut above the rest. Traxxas' forward thinking and "no-nonsense" approach brings you the most performance for your R/C investment. Whether you're at the park or on the track, the Rustler delivers sophisticated performance and handling that makes the race track anywhere you want to drive.
Sealed Electronics Extend Your Driving Fun
Traxxas shocked enthusiasts with the release of our exclusive watertight, sealed electronics in the E-Maxx that provided the freedom to drive where you want to drive through water, mud, snow, and other wet-running conditions that wouldn't have been possible before. Now the Traxxas Rustler is Ready-To-Race with this waterproof technology. The XL-5 electronic speed control and the mini receiver are sealed against the elements giving you the freedom go places you might not have thought possible. It opens up a whole new world of adventure and fun. Wet muddy tracks are no problem for the Rustler.
The Rustler is 100% Ready-To-Race® right out of the box, and is fully loaded with innovative performance features such as the advanced Revo-spec Torque-Control™ slipper clutch. The patent-pending design delivers smooth operation, precise adjustment, and consistent traction control. The Titan 12T 550 modified motor is designed for incredible mod-motor power output with virtually maintenance-free operation, and long-lasting performance. The Titan 12T 550 motor's integrated cooling fan pulls cool air through the motor to keep temperatures down. Airflow is routed through vent tunnels molded in the motor plate. A cooler running motor equates to faster speeds, longer runtime, and extended motor life.
What would the best-selling stadium truck be without a class-leading high-performance electronic speed control? The waterproof XL-5 Electronic Speed Control offers high current handling, EZ-Set™ one-button setup, and smooth high-frequency control. Three drive profiles, low voltage detection, thermal shutdown protection, gold-plated connectors, and incredibly low resistance are all features you might expect to only be available on an expensive replacement ESC. The XL-5 is the first electronic speed control that has the exclusive Traxxas Training Mode™ that limits full-throttle power to 50%. This allows young or new drivers to safely develop their control skills before unlocking full power to the mighty Titan 12T motor. Rustler is perfect for drivers of any age and experience.
The quest for ultimate speed began with the battery connector. As today's batteries store more and more energy inside their cells, traditional battery connectors became a roadblock, unable to deliver all the energy the battery is capable of outputting. The patented Traxxas High-Current Connector opens the door for unrestricted current flow.
Precision 2.4GHz Control Radio System
With the TQ™ 2.4GHz radio system, you just switch on a drive. There are no channels or frequencies to manage, so the focus is on having fun. The TQ's ergonomic design is comfortable for all-day driving, and its sleek lines are enhanced by an internal antenna that is impervious to damage.
Traxxas didn't stop there. Rustler's durable, fiber-composite chassis is designed for exceptional rigidity, and offers an inline battery position for a low polar moment of inertia. That's engineering speak that translates into nimble handling and lightening-fast response. The low-profile "lay-down" steering servo mounting system further enhances the Rustler's already low CG design. Rustler delivers superior stability and cornering thanks to its centered kingpin and live axle front suspension. Transmitting the power to the wheels is an efficient 3-gear variable-ratio transmission, topped off with sealed ball bearings and smooth-running telescoping driveshafts. In addition to those advanced features, the factory-installed planetary differential is Traxxas-tough with hardened steel gears that never need adjusting! Perfect for long-lasting, all-day fun. Just take the Rustler out of the box, charge up a battery, and drive!
Rustler sports a stunning 6-color ProGraphix® body and decal set. At the corners you'll find a set of bold 2.8" mirror-chrome All-Star™ wheels wrapped with performance-engineered tires, pre-glued, of course. The precision-engineered tread patterns and rubber compounds were designed to meet the performance requirements of the 65+mph Traxxas Jato (Nitro) so they are sure to provide Rustler with excellent traction. Alias™ step-pins at the rear and sharp-edged Alias ribbed tires up front hug the corners for a solid, planted feel.
Traxxas backs the Rustler and all of their products with top-notch support that is second to none. A staff of skilled representatives is on-hand to answer your questions via phone, website, or email. Unmatched parts support allows Rustler to be serviced with parts and support from thousands of hobby dealers worldwide. Traxxas goes the extra mile to ensure that your R/C experience is easy and fun. Follow the details link above to go in depth on all the Rustler performance benefits and also be sure to check out the videos page to see Rustler in action for yourself.
Fully assembled, waterproof, Ready-To-Race®, with TQ™ 2.4GHz radio system, XL-5 Electronic Speed Control and ProGraphix® painted body.
