The transitional stage of labour has nothing on the final stages of writing a novel. 😫 I'm having my fourth (novel), but it's no easier – or should I say, I'm no easier. I constantly shush my family; you'd think I was writing straight to Audio book. News of visitors coming is met with screams of horror and finger counting of missed writing hours (including those needed to make the home and myself look non-deranged). At least I haven't been as bad as during the final days of my first novel, when the family had me committed into the hotel down the road.
So, what's my problem? It's taken more than a year to get here; I should be thrilled. But:
So, how does one finish a novel considerately? I've no idea. But you should probably atone somehow, when it's all over. Unfortunately, I can't promise it won't happen again; most unfeasibly, I've already been implanted with an idea for the next novel. 🙄
My previous tantrums produced The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter, published by Urbane Publications, and you can get it from good bookshops or online e.g. https://amzn.to/2xQtuXY 💡🌊📘
Pier painting by the wonderful Juan del Pozo
The leap of faith needed to write a novel has to be as downright daft as the final shot in Finding Your Feet – but without the option of a musically enhanced freeze-frame to stop you falling between canal edge and barge.
Even writing my fourth, I've been purposefully not glancing down at the yawning gap between my dawdling MS and a physical book, because lurking in the swirling waters below are the following two familiar questions:
A few months ago, this second question became impossible to ignore. It turns out there's a reason why family sagas are chunky or in a series: unless you're going to reduce some events in your 75-year story to mere bullet points, you just can't cover it in my usual little 75K words.
'Be not afraid of going slowly,' says a Chinese proverb, 'be only afraid of standing still.' Believe me, when something's going at a rate of 1mm per month, and you then discover there's going to be several kilometres added to your journey, you'd best be VERY afraid.
So, here comes my top tip for getting a novel written. To have a chance of finishing it in my current lifetime, I started making myself WRITE A CHAPTER A WEEK. This game makes me grab writing time whenever I can – no more precious waiting for a whole free morning to get into the zone. Inessentials (laundry, tidying anything) don't happen until I've done the chapter. Tuesday's Bake Off marks the cake-fuelled half-way point, and I expect to be all done and smug for Saturday's Strictly. I now feel that, unless I fall into a sinkhole or something, I WILL finish it. I even have a tentative date for that. NaNoWriMo freaks or bestselling cash-cow novelists would be appalled, but other writers might want to give this plan a go. You still don't know if anyone will want to read it of course, but at least it shortens the gap between you and the barge or canal water.
My previous leap of faith landed me on a lighthouse. The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter (Urbane Publications) is available from Waterstones and other good bookshops, as well as online e.g. at https://amzn.to/2xQtuXY
How do you pick 5 songs for the soundtrack to your life? This was one of five questions in my most taxing but favourite online interview so far.
(Many thanks to @JillBookCafe. Check out FIVE ON FRIDAY in jillsbookcafe.wordpress.com to see others put through it).
Blimey, are all the questions going to be this hard? Having put myself through these agonising decisions, I thought I'd make a Spotify playlist of them: http://sptfy.com/Eyj ENJOY!
Life on Mars? (David Bowie)
My big brother bought this LP, and I remember sitting on the carpet, legs all anyhow, poring over the album sleeve. Who was this strange, wonderful man? Until then, music had meant my parents' Light Classics, used by my friend and me for hilarious made-up ballets in the living room. This was something else; Bowie took me somewhere I'd never been.
Étude Opus 10, No. 3 for Piano (Chopin)
Fast forward to Music College, where my Polish piano teacher had me playing plenty of Chopin. So beautiful, so emotional… so bloody difficult! Chopin will also remind me of my love of the piano, even if that love is not fully requited (I have pathetically small hands). This is just one of my favourites – and probably one of Jerome Kerns' too, because Smoke Gets in Your Eyessounds just like it. [Listens as adds it to Spotify Playlist]. Hm. Bit teary.
Shining (Steel Pulse)
Let's cheer up a bit with this irresistible bit of reggae. There's so much going on in this track – busy bass line, percussion bitty-bobs and delicious vocal harmony asides everywhere – one play is never enough. And oh, the lyrics – including a classic line for a late developer like me: You took your time trying to find out what life, what life, what life has in store for you… You've guessed it: my wedding video music.
Como Me Duele Perderte / How it Hurts to Lose You (Gloria Estefan)
I came across this when I started Salsa dancing as part of research for my first novel, Men Dancing. Its bitter-sweet sadness matches both the novel and what was happening in my life at the time, but the song also reminds me of those early exciting but scary days of being a writer.
Dos Puñales / Two Daggers (Josemi Carmona, Paco de Lucía)
I've done well to limit the flamenco here to 20%, when it's probably taking up 80% of my iPod. This is a wondrous example of flamenco fusion; it's earthy but accessible, and beautifully produced. I love the way the music seems to have a narrative – whatever you want. A tweet asking where I could get hold of the album (Las Pequeñas Cosas), followed by a later one asking about this track, eventually led to a friendship with the artist. This chance connection was one of the inspirations for The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter.
My Piano
I don't play as much as I like or should, but when I need it (because I'm bored / fed up / nervous / happy / miserable, waiting for something), I have to have it, now. One of the reasons I enjoy teaching piano is that I want my darlings (adults and children) to have this wonderful support and delight in their lives.
The Sea
I'm generally uncomfortable in locations that aren't near the sea; there's a sort of a background feeling of if I'm not near the edge, where the hell am I. Exceptions like Madrid and… (can't actually think of any others right now) have to have a lot going for them. My current distances from the sea (by foot, door to wet toe) are 10 (Eastbourne) and 3.5 (Almería) minutes.
Why do I love it? The salty smell, its ever-changing colours and moods, and (most) of the beautiful creatures in it. I'm susceptible to flour-soft sand, but I also love beaches where I can collect stones and shells. I'm a keen (if three-limbed – see later!) swimmer, and during Summer and Autumn I'll check the flag, put on my beach shoes and be in whenever I can (in both countries). It's also the best place (along with the bath) for getting writing and plot ideas.
Home in Spain
I've only had this little town house in San José (near Almería) for a couple of years, but now don't know how I coped without it. My half-Spanish mother brought me up to be a hispanophile, so for as long as I can remember I've been drawn to the country and its people. I also get very miserable and lethargic when starved of bright natural light and warmth, so escaping there lets me recharge my batteries. Although my Spanish is at a high level, I can still zone out of conversations around me – perfect for writing under a beach umbrella.
Thai Food
I'm not a foodie, but I'm insanely excited about these fragrant and spicy flavours and the flowery presentation. Spain needs to discover it; its absence there is one of the few reasons I ever want to come back to Blighty.
My mobile
It would probably do me good to live without my mobile for a while, I'm on it far too much, but the pain of being separated from my WhatsApping friends (including Spanish ones I can't see as much as I'd like), Twittermates and Instagram would be considerable.
Put more face, hand and sun cream on
I thought I'd be young forever. But if I'm still not listening now, I certainly wouldn't have listened then. Sticky, messy stuff.
Label and date your photos
Uh, those boxes of loose photos with vaguely recalled faces and scenery…
Don't lose contact with people you care about
Petty arguments or laziness caused me to lose contact with some friends.
Lighten up!
I was such an intense young person, playing melancholy piano and sitting around reading Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. Can't think how anyone put up with me. A year abroad (with light and warmth!) would have done me good.
Yes, you can write a book!
I should have taken the course, bought one of those elasticated leather notebooks, stopped making excuses, and started writing much earlier.
I used to be a keyboard player in a band
For some years, I was a piano teacher doing the day and played in a band a few nights a week. The second band I joined even had a single out; I'll be in trouble for not including it in my five soundtracks, but you'd be glad I didn't!
I used to be a post-doctoral scientist
I re-trained, and worked for Moorfields Eye Hospital for many years as an optometrist and post-doctoral researcher.
I used to be a ballerina
…at the Royal Ballet. No, just kidding! But I did teach piano at the Royal Ballet Junior School for some years – and got free tickets. Maybe in my next life.
I have limited use of my right arm
I have a congenital problem with my shoulder that makes it painful for me to open a door or lift anything as heavy as a hardback book with it. An operation didn't help. But I can somehow do reasonable flamenco arms, and swim without going around in circles!
I almost died of pneumonia over the millennium
The last eighteen years – including the publication of my three novels – have been a bonus.
Having my book out in Spanish
The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter has equal male and female, English and Spanish viewpoints – Bicultural People Fiction! I'd love to see it in Spanish, and give it to some of my Spanish friends whose English isn't good enough to read it in its present form.
Tour South America
I'd like to visit the places where my half-Spanish mother grew up, and more. My cousin and I have talked about it, but… This is what I should have been doing in my maudlin early twenties!
Learn how to high dive
Researching high diving for my next novel, this has become my new ballet. Ah, and I'd like Greg Louganis to teach me (check out the documentary film Back on Board and you'll see why – what a lovely man).
Learn how to cook Thai food
Family over shoulder: 'What? Learn how to cook anyfood!'
Have a grandchild
But not too soon, boys!
The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughteris available – currently only in English 😦 – from good bookshops, or online at Foyles, Books etc, Waterstones or this place: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lighthouse-Keepers-Daughter-Cherry-Radford/dp/1911583646/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1529011473&sr=8-1&keywords=cherry+radford
Despite the unreliability of my writing hormones post(book)partum, you're going to get my first impressions of being newly delivered of a shiny book baby.
After years of gestation; antebooknatal tests (i.e. proofs – sorry, enough); online interviews about my inspirations and stuff like The Five Things I (shouldn't) Want My Readers to Know About Me; a couple of bladder-pressing stints on radio… The Day arrived.
Inviting people to my book launch had felt like such a huge conceit, but it's quite staggering how many seem to want to come to these things. With the bizarre This-is-Your-Life type gathering, it feels a bit like a wedding – until the horrific realisation that, apart from the publisher doing a brief intro, you'll be doing ALL the speeches. In my case at Waterstones Piccadilly, surrounded by photos of illustrious previous launchers…
The next morning – feeling a bit sick after attempting to finish off the lighthouse cupcakes on the train home – my phone hand goes into cramp as I attempt to keep on top of tidal waves of social media. This must be what it's like to be famous, I'm thinking… until one human offspring informs me that Amazon has decided products related to my new novel include Tart Cherry Extract Capsules, and Deep, an erotic military romance. The other boy has unbelievably managed to enter the barbed tangle of Goodreads.com, and found a quick-off-the-mark 1-star detractor complaining about my female protagonist's lack of (selfie-worthy) interest in her appearance.
I was going to go swimming, get on with the day, but this new book baby wants constant care: even after just a quick bath, I come back to 23 Twitter notifications screaming for attention. Oh, and of course I feel the need to check the book's development, compared with other new-borns… in the Amazon Sales Ranks. I soon had post(book)natal depression – meaning a squashed tip to my Amazon-tapping index finger.
In the end I reasoned that, since much of the book was written in bed, it was fitting to have a postbookpartum pyjama day to celebrate. After years of abortive efforts (see My Potholed Path to Publication post), I finally have what I want, as long as I keep my expectations realistic. Much as I'd like my book to grow up to be a bestseller, it will be nurtured by an energetic independent publisher rather than one of the moneyed big five. We'll give it all the best chances we can of course – but I also need to get on with giving it a sibling!
New and shiny The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter is available from https://amzn.to/2xQtuXY
Compared to a play or concert, a novel can give us three times as many hours of entertainment, at a third or less of the cost. At the end of a show, we spend 5 minutes either clapping politely or stamping and cheering; shouldn't we do at least as much for a novel we've just enjoyed? We can. It's called writing an Amazon review.
We can, but only a tiny percentage of us ever do – and even these wonderful people (ahem) let good books go by un-applauded. Why?
So write less! It's better than nothing. Guilt: how could I not leave a review for Tony Parker's Lighthouse? Invaluable research, and I adored it. [Spends 5 minutes giving it a short but heartfelt 5-star review]
But it might be someone else's; they need to know about it. Give 3 stars and get on with it. The writer won't mind; Amazon works in weird ways, giving a book with fifty 3-star reviews more visibility than one with ten 5-star reviews.
I usually save 1 or 2 star reviews for electric blankets, but once in a while I feel the need to share that a hyped-up novel was a massive disappointment.
It doesn't matter, you just need to have spent at least £40 through your Amazon account. Nice try.
Meaning, "I don't want to look thick among the blogger/author/pro reviewers."
Do a refreshingly minimalist one then, or see REVIEW PLAN below.
Good grief. OK, here goes:
Click: the book -> Customer Reviews -> Write a Review.
Click on the stars. Careful – it's amazing how many people dither here and end up writing a glowing but ONE star review.
In Write Your Review, say what you liked / didn't like in anything between 1 sentence or a mini essay (see below). The Headline for Your Review can be a phrase you've just used. Press SUBMIT. DONE!
PLAN for the perfect Amazon/Waterstones/Goodreads review (IMHO):
OK, this kind of review takes a little longer. But sometimes you want to do a standing ovation.
The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter is available (AND REVIEWABLE) from: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lighthouse-Keepers-Daughter-Cherry-Radford/dp/1911583646/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1521632737&sr=1-1&keywords=cherry+radford
The book launch is certainly a rich source of over-angst for the pre-pub worrywort. With only a month to go, I'm asking myself:
Why do so many people want to come?
Lovely of them of course, but it's beginning to feel like a p-p-p-party. Listen, I've spent years at my desk – no, in bed – writing and redrafting this novel; I barely remember how to answer a phone, let alone mingle. Go easy on me.
What sort of an author goes into shock on being asked 'so what's your book about?'
Well of course I know what it's about; it's like asking a tree about the flavour of its sap. The trouble is, like a tree, I appear to be unable to form the words to describe it. I used to have occasional clarity on this, but being constantly tested by well-meaning friends has reduced me to a manic 'dunnofuckoff.' [Cuts out and Sellotapes blurb for fastening to forehead].
Pen poised to sign a book for a friend I've known for ten years, will I forget their name?
Probably. If I suddenly dash to the loo with phone (to look through hundreds of emails), it's you – and I'm really sorry. I'm currently involved in two parallel worlds (that of The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter and my 3-generational WIP); I'm all named out. What's in a name? You know I love you.
Should I waste any more time Googling lighthouse-themed blouses and jewellery? Or consider any jewellery at all, other than a string of beads given to me Christmas c.1995? Crucially, is there time, finally… to learn how to blow-dry my hair?
Probably not.
But ah, I may have the perfect solution to my social ineptitude, lack of conceptual focus, memory and style: LIGHTHOUSE CUPCAKES.
The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter launches 5th April, 2018 – despite the above – and is available here:
or here:
Looking at my smug mug on Urbane Publications' shiny new website, I'm sparing a thought for unpublished writers out there who'd like to stick pins in me. A pitchfork, even. I've been lucky, I know. I'm sorry. But it might help you to know that my path to publication has been long, muddy and potholed.
The first blow was almost my last: my story was rejected by a pony magazine. Okay, I was ten, but the page of reasons for my rejection — no doubt intended to be helpful – made me turn to the recorder and then piano, flute…
I didn't write again for about thirty years – by then on my second career, as a post-doc research optometrist at Moorfields Eye Hospital. I still secretly wanted to write a novel, so I took an Open College of the Arts course and started keeping a diary, but couldn't come up with an idea.
Years later, I finally got an inspiration, and after two months of mulling, made a start (in the middle of an international conference). Unbelievably, the novel wrote itself in six months. I was an author after all! Euphoria!
Hm. Until I sent Men Dancing off to a literary consultant and was told yes, well done, but now start again with a different novel. Apparently, my female protagonist was too old (at 42, ffs) and unlikeable. An RNA report agreed. After a few sulky days I started re-writing, making her thirty-bloody-nine and a bit nicer.
Then it was time to hit The Writers' Yearbook, submitting to the three agents that seemed best suited to my novel. A further ten. The whole effing book. Subs were nearly all postal in those days; my desk became a one-woman sorting office – and soon had a heaped tray of 'not quite right for us' letters. Then two agents asked for the full MS and considered it for four months (one sending agonising updates about 'just having a second/third read' etc.), but both decided to clear their desks for the holidays and sent painfully synchronised rejection letters a couple of days before Christmas.
It was time to hit the Yearbook pages of lovely little publishers accepting non-agented subs. But they too are swamped with hopefuls, and turned me down. Except a self-pub outfit that also had a 'conventional' publishing arm – that they were offering me. I grabbed it with both hands.
The company was friendly, the editing light but good. I wasn't going to be a bestseller – or even a seller at all, other than on Amazon and in the local Waterstones – but at least I was being published. Well, sort of. I had to pay them a fee for having my novel at the London Book Fair. Then for including it in their brochure… Soon, all my royalties were used to pay for this and that – particularly when second novel Flamenco Baby came out. Then the royalties became delayed. No, they stopped. I was so busy researching for a new novel and doing promo for Flamenco Baby in Spain, that I only once queried it. Then they went very quiet… and bust. I never saw any sales figures or royalties for Flamenco Baby. Another self-publishing company valiantly scooped up most of the floundering authors – and then went bust themselves.
But hey, I'd finished another novel, so what did I care? I went bounding off to the Winchester Writers' Festival with The Lighthouse Keeper's Daughter and had a glowing response from a commissioning editor who wanted to see it once I was agented, plus two requests for a full MS from agents! Wow! Ah but listen, people: beware the One-to-One bubble (see my post One-to-Ones, I've had a few…). One turned it down in 3 days, and the other… well, more than two years on, I'm still waiting to hear.
So, it was back to those lovely indie publishers. One — over the course of a whole year – was interested, turned it down, invited re-sub after changes, then turned it down again. I splashed out on a literary consultancy report, revised, splashed out on another (Cornerstones & The Literary Consultancy – both recommended). It was a lot better, but still not quite fitting into a genre. Two years had now passed since I'd finished it, and — worst of all – I wasn't coming up with any ideas for a new novel. I started to seriously question why I was pouring so much time, heart and money into it all this.
Then a Twitter friend told me to submit to his publisher, Urbane Publications. Thinking they only published Crime, I'd not bothered them with my not-quite-women's fiction – but I'd been wrong about that. I ordered some of their books and found wonderfully unusual, genre-bending stories; heard about the inclusive way they work with authors… this was where I wanted to be! I re-drafted and submitted. The wait was the most agonising I'd had during the nine years since I started writing. But it was a YES. Oh, the screams.
I'm realistic, there are a lot of books out there and bigger publishers to compete with, but now I'm part of the Urbane family I can get on with what I want to do: read, write (new novel finally on the go), get books out there and support others whose work I admire.
My advice: Keep tramping that path, and one day you'll find the right place to have your smug mug.
THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER'S DAUGHTER (Urbane Publications) will be published on 5th April, 2018.
New living area, new publishing deal: time to find a new accountant. How do I do that? Maybe the way I picked the solicitors: Googling those in walking distance and selecting on architectural / pink-painted appeal.
But the names of the accountancy firms springing up on the map suggest further filtering is needed. I'm looking at companies called TaxAssist (too on the nose), Advanta (did two letters fall off their signboard?), Breeze (it won't be, for an arithmophobic author), and Savoir Faire (oh bog off). Decided to be a normal person for a moment and call them about fees. I got a lot of piece-of-string answers, including one from an accountant who charges by the hour but had a very unfortunate stutter.
Eventually I spoke to a gem at a company with a flat fee, Victorian stucco, and generous free advice on the phone.
Talking to an accountant about the publication of my novel in April 2018, my pre-publication presumptuousness reached a whole new level. But here's my tax tip for the signed author waiting to be published: did you know that expenses for your pre-published writing can be set against non-writing earnings for the same year? Maybe I'm the last to know. But yup, the cost of notebooks, a book about childhood in the 1950s, a ticket for a paddle steamer etc. etc. will be reducing tax for my science research and piano teaching work. Crazy but cracking news. Talk to an accountant!
One-to-ones, I've had a few, but then again… who can resist the chances to "pitch your work to industry gate keepers!" in a writing festival package? Although you might wish you had resisted, after a weekend of looking at your watch through interesting talks so that you leave them in time (factoring in a nervous pee) for your appointments, and letting other potentially instructive sessions flow past you while you sit there in post-one-to-one bewilderment.
Perhaps I just made bad choices, but I never got much out of literary speed-dating. I have no issue with agents that just didn't like what I was doing – even the one whose way of imparting this was to spend 10 minutes arguing that a principal ballet dancer wouldn't travel standard class in a train. I also forgive the two agents (in the same afternoon) that used half of my allocated time to go for a pee. But the one that was so full of praise and excitement that I looked over my shoulder to see if they were speaking to someone else, asked for the full manuscript, and then never replied to any emails…
It's a tricky pairing: the agent is keen for good festival feedback, doesn't want any awkwardness, and would like to give constructive feedback – if she can remember enough about your sub (and control her bladder). But the author with a finished novel may not be too receptive to drastic suggestions made after a possibly cursory look at a small sample, and, let's face it, really just wants to be asked for a full MS.
It's probably better to have these meetings at an early, more pliable stage of your novel. Or hone your manuscript with a writing group and a good literary consultancy, then do carefully crafted online subs to the RIGHT agents and publishers.
Exactly two years on (and still not having heard from the ecstatic agent), I'm pinch-myself happy to be a signed author with the wonderful Urbane Publications. I can now be one of those smug so-and-so's who can go to a writing festival without any need to miss anything – my eight years of running the one-to-one gauntlet are over!

In addition to the neurology residency, the UF College of Medicine – Jacksonville has many other residency and fellowship programs. This three-year program is accredited through the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, or ACGME and features a diverse, competency-based curriculum combining an outstanding clinical experience with bedside and didactic teaching from exceptional UF faculty. The curriculum also provides extensive exposure to neurological research. Neurology residents conduct their inpatient training at UF Health Jacksonville, a DNV Healthcare Certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. The hospital's helicopter air ambulance is used to transport patients with ischemic strokes to the hospital from a 12-county area. These patients are evaluated for intravenous thrombolysis, intra-arterial thrombolysis and clot retrieval. Patients with complex seizure disorders are admitted to a six-bed video EEG monitoring unit on the neurology floor, and patients with critical neurological issues are admitted to a 12 bed Neuroscience critical care unit. Outpatient adult neurology training, including the neurology resident continuity clinic, occurs at UF Health Neuroscience Institute. The Neuroscience Institute also serves as a referral center for sub-specialty neurology, including epilepsy, demyelinating diseases, neuromuscular disorders, neuropathy, movement disorders, sleep disorders and headache. Residents spend one month each year at the University of Florida College of Medicine Gainesville campus, rotating through pediatric neurology. Residents see pediatric patients with a wide variety of neurologic disorders while being supervised and taught by UF physicians from the division of pediatric neurology. Our program provides lodging while on this rotation. Please take some time to navigate through our site to learn more about our residency program.

Output log and errors
The output log can be used to find all details of orders and other related subjects that can be reported about your Hopper or the exchange. A very common misinterpretation about the log is that buy or sell orders did not buy or sell. It happens relatively often that buys/sells are triggered but are not actually bought because of drastic price changes, the orders not filling or other reasons. The output log actually mentions that it was unable to place the buy, and why.
All errors mentioned are precautions and notifications about something that the Hopper is not receiving properly or something that might not be set properly. Make sure you double check your config every once in a while and notice that many errors are created because information cannot be received from the exchange. Do not panic straight away and be patient. These kinds of errors might occur for a few hours, but it should be resolved after a while or even after refreshing the webpage.
What if I waited a couple of hours but my hopper still puts out weird errors?
If you noticed errors occurring and you waited for a while, seeing the error occur every couple of seconds, there are some things that you can do and check before contacting support.
- Ask a question via our question base.
- Ask our loving discord community.
- Ask our loving telegram group.
If these steps didn't help, perhaps you can find your answer in our known errors list.

There was a lot of cutting involved this morning. The lower box had cut vegetables with a drizzle of sesame dressing topped with some carrot strips. There was a piece of fried fish for protein.
The top box had cut crab sticks, simmered shitake mushrooms and cut tamagoyaki. Lately, I've been packing bentos under 10 minutes! That gives me more time to sleep. Hehehe!
If you recognize the ingredients in the top box then you know that we had sushi over the weekend! *grins*

Could a little infection be good for you? Well how about the immune stimulation it produces? We're talking about trained immunity here, and evidence for it started nearly 100 years ago in northern Sweden. TB was a much bigger problem back then (Hell, my grandmother died of undiagnosed tuberculosis in a university hospital in 1967). Bacille Calmette Guerin (BCG) is an attenuated form of mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB to you). Immunizing with BCG was thought to be protective against TB. 100 years later people are still arguing about it.
What no one is arguing about is the fact the unvaccinated infants had a 10% mortality in the first year of life (the good old days weren't that good), while the vaccinated ones had a 3% one year mortality. The 10% that did die, didn't die of TB either.
It's pretty technical, but basically BCG vaccination jazzes up the immune system, making it more responsive to the zillions of critters infesting us. [ Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. vol. 109 pp. 17537 – 17542 '12 ] has the details — inferferon gamma, monocyte derived cytokines, the NOD2 receptor, histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation etc. etc.
These are rather nonspecific features of innate immunity, and not specifically directed at anything in particular (which is why it is called trained immunity).
Well infection jazzes up the immune system too. Cell vol, 175 pp. 1634 – 1650 '18 showed that white cells of mice found in the lungs (alveolar macrophages) developed it after a viral infection, making them more resistant to a subsequent bacterial infection. Could this be general?
Which brings us to a much larger fish to fry –hormesis.
Toxicology basically had two models of how we deal with toxic agents
l. Threshold model — below a certain dose, no harm results. Arguably true — can one molecule of anything kill you? Used by the EPA for nonCarcinogens
2. Linear no-threshold model — now matter how lot the dose, damage is seen. This is obviously crazy (see #1 above) but apparently is used by the EPA for carcinogens.
Enter model #3 — Hormesis
The best example is the famous J curve for alcohol in which small amounts are beneficial at low doses for the heart and huge amounts are horrible (although a recent meta-analysis has challenged this [ Lancet vol. 392 pp. 1015 – 1035 '18 ], but I don't trust them — for why see http://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/361/6408/1184.full.pdf.
Hormesis says that other toxic agents (radiation, cadmium, dioxin, saccharin, polychlorinated biphenyls) all have J curves like alcohol. Articles explaining hormesis can be found in — Nature vol. 421 pp. 691 -692 2003, Scientific American 9/2003. The reaction to it — Science vol,. 302 pp. 376 – 379, 2003.
So the moral might be don't be an immunological or a toxicological snowflake — that which doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

EclipsePrevious Next
Eclipse builds upon traditional eternity sculptures and is inspired by David's imminent 20th wedding anniversary with his wife Sophie. It draws on the DH Lawrence poem, Fidelity, read at the couple's wedding, which describes a sapphire of fidelity, represented in the outer rings of the sculpture, made from stainless steel and coated in a dark blue, sapphire hue.
Taking inspiration from the phases of the moon and the shadows of an eclipse, the Eclipse's interlocking rings support each other and work in harmony from any angle. The inner ring is lined with 23 ¾-carat gold leaf. Integrated LED lights in the base are positioned to capture the finish of the smaller ring and create a thin slither of light, mimicking the eclipse.
The larger outer ring on the classic design is 71" in diameter. Other sizes are available on request.
The price starts from $ 51,086

"X" (Doesn't) Mark the $1.4 Trillion Spot in West Texas
Sailing the oceans in search of treasure is something of a fantasy for a lot of people.
Just imagine it, the gentle rocking of the boat…
Learning the language of the sea…
Manning the big, wooden ship's wheel…
The eventual end goal: finding the buried treasure on the deserted island that you located using the ratty, ancient map with a giant black "X" marking the spot.
Usually this type of imagining involves a hook for a hand, eyepatches, peg legs, and other such pirate accessories.
But it's the buried treasure that's central to this dream.
Unfortunately, in real life, "X" marking the spot is just that… a dream.
There is, however, unmarked buried treasure.
For example, a few years back, a married couple was hiking with their dog in the foothills of Sierra Nevada, California, on a path they'd traveled many times before.
On this particular morning, they happened to spot some rusty cans sticking out of the dirt.
They were filled to the brim with 1,427 24k gold coins dating back to the Gold Rush of the 1800s.
Talk about buried treasure.
The find made this couple $10 million richer.
It wasn't buried by seafaring pirates, but it was significant nonetheless.
And by no means is this buried treasure the last of such things to be discovered.
In fact, another treasure has been uncovered that's worth far more than $10 million.
You won't find it in the ocean though…
As global relations go from bad to worse, this technology becomes even more crucial
No Map, But Treasure All the Same
The "X" I'm talking about can't be found sailing the seven seas, but instead found trekking the hot, dry, dusty desert a few miles away from Pecos, Texas.
Well actually, "X" doesn't mark the spot, and there's no ancient, tattered pirate's map to lead you there.
That's what makes this enormous discovery so remarkable: the fact that no one knew it was there, despite others owning the land around it.
There is a trillion-dollar fortune hidden underneath this section of the Chihuahuan Desert in West Texas, and it has only recently been discovered.
Yes, that's trillion with a capital "T."
One man decided to purchase a seemingly "worthless" piece of dusty land in the desert. Not long after, the United States Geological Survey dispatched teams across the nation to scout out new mineral, oil, and energy reserves that were previously undiscovered.
What they found underneath the same region as this man's newly acquired property was astonishing.
This discovery has the potential to mint 100 new millionaires, every single month, for the next 11 years.
Even the pirates of yore wouldn't be able to fathom that fortune.
Better yet, these new millionaires can be regular people like you. And you could be one of them.
There is a tiny company that is determined to take advantage of the treasure in this region, and it's doing it quickly.
Early investors could profit the most, and could be handed massive windfalls.
If you'd like to learn more about this company, and learn how you could earn a fortune from this desert discovery, all you have to do is click here.

Micaela Passeri
Regional Director, Los Angeles
Getting to know Micaela, her background, her business now, how she got to know and became involved with Global Woman, and became the Regional Director for Los Angeles. Why she loves being part of Global Woman and her own vision and personal perspective for growing Global Woman Club in LA, California and connecting women globally.
MICAELA PASSERI is an Inspirational Fashion Designer turned Emotional Intelligence Coach. She is committed to helping entrepreneurs identify, resolve and release emotional and mental blocks in the way of their full success by breaking the cycle of negative self-talk and dis-empowering inner dialog. Specializing in experiential mentor-ship and workshops, she helps her clients learn to quiet the self-critic and resolve issues such as low self-confidence, inner conflict, anxiety, fears, procrastination, limiting beliefs and business stagnation. Trained in NLP, MER and Emotion Code, Micaela helps women (and a few good men) who are looking to create powerful life experiences and permanent changes to their inner dialog and are on a soulful journey to discover their inner voice, master their inner critic and step into the women (and men) they know they are meant to be by releasing trapped emotions and unraveling subconscious beliefs.
Her Unlocking Emotions program is a deep dive into the inner conversations and false subconscious beliefs that run behaviors, thought patterns and results that have entrepreneurs paralyzed. She also leads retreats to Florence, Italy once a year leading a deeply transformational experience with Italy as it's background. Individuals who have gone through her program see results like increased income, confidence, self-belief, inner happiness, inner peace and more. Her compassionate and loving approach to coaching supports the evolution of the whole being from the inside out. She facilitates profound shifts in life patterns and has helped hundreds of women breakthrough their negative mind chatter and subconscious mind blocks.
She is also the Author of "Your Amazing Itty Bitty Affirmations Book: 15 ways to Make Empowering Messages Work for You!", founder of the Love You Revolution clothing line and a Speaker.
Micaela also donates her time to social causes like women victims of domestic violence. She gives free empowerment workshops for women in domestic violence shelters in Los Angeles. She has worked with companies like FIDM, Google, LAUSD schools, YMCA, Boys & Girls Club, Girls in Power and Agape International Spiritual Center and was featured on TodayShow.com
Micaela joined Global Woman in January of 2018 with the desire to expand her business to Europe and was inspired by the ladies, their stories and their connection. She saw how the group could support her in bringing her work to her home country, Italy. She immediately connected with the Director in Milan and set to visit the club there in her travels back home.
In the meantime, in Los Angeles, she was attending the meetings and getting to know the then Director, Laura Timm. Micaela had told Laura about her experience running a group (she had been the Co-President of the Holistic Chamber in Santa Monica for 2 years and grew its membership to 6 times what it was when she took it over) and when Laura could no longer travel from London to run the Los Angeles meetings, she thought Micaela would be the perfect fit! A Global Woman with experience building community, supporting women and with lots of business background.
Micaela took over the Los Angeles Club in September of 2018 and is super excited to grow the community with her heart-centered attitude!

"...__In fairness to Pakistan and Congo, wealthy people in such countries manage to live surprisingly comfortably. Instead of financing education with taxes, these feudal elites send their children to elite private schools. Instead of financing a reliable police force, they hire bodyguards. Instead of supporting a modern health care system for their nation, they fly to hospitals in London.
You can tell the extreme cases by the hum of diesel generators at night. Instead of paying taxes for a reliable electrical grid, each wealthy family installs its own powerful generator to run the lights and air-conditioning. It's noisy and stinks, but at least you don't have to pay for the poor.
I've always made fun of these countries, but now I see echoes of that pattern of privatization of public services in America. Police budgets are being cut, but the wealthy take refuge in gated communities with private security guards. Their children are spared the impact of budget cuts at public schools and state universities because they attend private institutions.
Mass transit is underfinanced; after all, Mercedes-Benzes and private jets are much more practical, no? And maybe the most striking push for reversal of historical trends is the Republican plan to dismantle Medicare as a universal health care program for the elderly...."
From http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/05/opini … ef=opinion
Doug, you've managed to confuse charity and taxes once again.
here's an easy way to remember:
If the "charity" needs to be collected with the threat of jail time and guns, then it's actually a tax.
If the "charity" doesn't need to be collected at all because it's given to you, then it's actual charity.
I hope this doesn't confuse the liberal mind TOO much.
Evan and I could debate taxes and economics til we put everyone to sleep.
Consider the history you know.
The Great Depression (1939) and the Great Recession - which we are in both followed periods of very low taxes and very lax government regulation. These are facts, not opinions.
The 'best' times for the middle class have happened when unions were empowered to advocate for the worker and taxes were over 80% on the income of the very, very, rich.
Also note that the Ryan plan reduces the number of brackets, to reduce the taxes of the billionaire.
And yet so many Americans see that as an ideal!
Hell, it's my money and I won't see one cent go to help others.
Man, I wish people would steal more money from the rich! That'd be awesome! "Charity" *cough* is SOOOO much more important than property rights and freedom!! What is wrong with everyone who disagree with me? Don't they GET it?!
Yeah, that must be it.
Evan, I'm sure that even in the US the rich get to take part in the democratic process and vote.
But the rich are evil!!! They buy things, and then make things and then sell things FOR PROFIT!! Then they spend their money on things that they want!!! We need to steal their money because they can vote!!! They vote, BUT NOT FOR THINGS THAT I WANT!!! We need to steal their money!!
But Evan, they don't spend all their money!
Imagine a railway going from A to B and every day you run ten trains from A to B but only one train from B to A, what happens? Don't you eventually run out of trains?
Same with money, send it all in one direction and eventually you end up with a few having most of the money, then your bank has to print more money to replace the money those few have.
Remember, you don't like quantative easing but then argue for the system that needs quantative easing to work!
Think, even with taxation and spending the rich still accumulate a lot of money.
Those bastard rich!! Even though the original post on this forum was in response to how THE RICH SPEND THEIR MONEY, we KNOW they don't spend their money!! That's why they DON'T drive BMWs; they DON'T have huge houses; they DON'T invest their money in other businesses; they DON'T buy nice food; they DON'T hire servants; they DON'T buy private planes...
EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE RICH AND BUY LOTS OF STUFF, I KNOW DAMNED WELL THAT THEY DON'T BUY THINGS!! I know for a FACT that all rich people live like homeless people. You know that guy that looked like a crack addict on the street the other day? Or that other guy passed out on the side of the road who awoke only to vomit up tequila and orange drink?
God damn I hate them so much!!!
You really have a problem don't you? All that hate and bile
No doubt they spend some money, but they don't spend all their money, they keep a lot out of circulation.
But never mind eigh? There's all ways the government to blame isn't there?
Have you ever read "The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists" you'd hate it, It explains clearly and coherently how the working man keeps the wealthy man.
I don't mind paying taxers to support infrastructure and education: these things are public goods, and as such, even if I don't drive on the highways, ride on the railroads, or attend (or send my children to) public schools, I still benefit from their existence.
If you don't want to pay taxes, I recommend not using the public roads, not eating anything delivered by any vehicle (because they drive on the public roads), not drinking tap water (unless you get yours from the well on your property), not using the internet (since it was developed by the government) not using your GPS device (another government-derived service), never watch a weather forecast (data from NOAA) , and basically just finding yourself a homestead in the backwoods somewhere and living off the land. That's really the only way you can claim to owe nothing to society. But don't go complaining to anyone when someone starts building a road right next to your homestead.
The Militia and Patriot Movements of the 1990's...loll.. Then Clinton and Reno were the catalysts. I am not certain what exactly brings out the "squirrels" when a Democrat takes the White House, but certainly since Carter, that has been the case.
At last - a real thread about real things ! time to wake up guys (and dolls) smell the coffee and forget the buslh!t religious threads, the paid for political threads and get where it is at!
This is the issue - how much longer are you guys going to accept being shat upon and take up the democratic right to vote the sleazebags and corruptibles out and a real person IN - ANY ANY ANY fu@@ing person will do instead !
This is what our politicians used to sound like...
After Martin Luther King was assassinated a few months before on April 4, 1968, Robert Kennedy spoke these words in an address to the City Club of Cleveland:
"We must recognize that this short life can neither be ennobled or enriched by hatred or revenge.
Our lives on this planet are too short and the work to be done too great to let this spirit flourish any longer in our land. Of course we cannot vanish it with a program, nor with a resolution.
But we can perhaps remember – even if only for a time – that those who live with us are our brothers, that they share with us the same short movement of life, that they seek – as we do – nothing but the chance to live out their lives in purpose and happiness, winning what satisfaction and fulfillment they can.
Surely this bond of common faith, this bond of common goal, can begin to teach us something. Surely we can learn, at least, to look at those around us as fellow men and surely we can begin to work a little harder to bind up the wounds among us and to become in our hearts brothers and countrymen once again."
RIP RFK, killed this day in 1968.
And--this actually sounds like Barack Obama.
Anyone good is gas-lighted or killed.....that's why we have the sleazy money-grubbers that we do. Not all of them, but enough.
I'm going for Obama....my intuition tells me something, and I have learned to listen to it.
When you steal from the rich you go to jail.
When the rich steal from you they get promoted. Now that is charity.
I see Evan still hasn't realized that people don't get rich by themselves. They have a lot of help from their employees...
And not everyone's parents can afford to send them to school so they can get a decent job when they graduate.
Well the title of the thread is "Our Fantasy Nation" why shouldn't Evan be allowed his fantasies?
Even if their parents could barely afford to send them to school, the decent jobs would most likely go by way of nepotism, be outsourced, or the business would be relocated to another country!
Stop the world's central banking systems, and most other problems would be solved. If we take away the ability to control the money from TPTB and bring the control of whats supposed to be a representative government back down to the local level where it belongs, we may be able to save this country, if it's not too late already. Reelecting the same JERKS has proven that TPTB have only one goal, (self enrichment at the expense of the masses), through deception! Promises before elections and the track record of results of post election history show exactly what I am talking about. All of the staged partisan bickering is our elected official's way of using misdirection tactics to keep the people dumbed down. In reality, each party is just as corrupt as the other. Vote them out and pass tougher laws regarding corruption, and keep lobbyists out of government. How many former elected politicians have become powerful lobbyists? They screw you when they are in office, and again after they leave office.
Wake up!
Thank you, Jerryl

Guillermo, from Argentina, tells us what's been going on in the CAE preparation course this week.We have just finished a particularly special week because it was after having our first mock exam in week 2. Therefore, we could focus on all our weaknesses in order to have a better performance next time. The result was training many aspects of our reading, listening, writing and speaking techniques, pretty much everything I should say, but after the mock exam everything has a different meaning: we know now what we are dealing with.
However, that was not all we did, we still had time to finish a new module, the third one, that included a lot of new vocabulary regarding leisure time.

Frontend Dashboard
Frontend Dashboard is a theme that replicates the styling of the concrete5 Dashboard pages.
Use Frontend Dashboard to style pages of information for site editors and administrators. Anything from management information to a built in user guide can be better expressed when visually associated with the dashboard rather than the primary theme of your site.
For most sites, you will want to use page permissions to ensure only site editors and administrators can view frontend dashboard pages.
Some ideas for using Frontend Dashboard:
- Create an in-site user guide for your site editors and adminsitrators
- Add project management information such as calendars
- Add conversation blocks or a forum addon as an administrators and editors discussion area
- Add a chat block addon as an administrators and editors chat area
- Let editors and administrators add or extend frontend dashboard pages to document and share what they have been doing
- Create forms for editors and administrators to submit. For example, weekly reports, timesheets.
- Have a site editors and administrators blog
- A team-building resource for your site editors and administrators
To help you make navigation look like it does in the actual dashboard, the Frontend Dashboard theme comes with custom templates for navigation blocks and a custom block type to add navigation buttons just like you would see on concrete5 dashboard pages. It also installs a real dashboard page that indexes all Frontend Dashboard pages.
This page uses the Frontend Dashboard Full Width page template.Begin tour with the Right Sidebar template

text: Weekly Wrap-Up: 2/14/16 Will Sullivan February 18, 2016 Columns, Featured, Weekly Wrap-Up I got to spend Valentine's Day weekend with my one true love: local music. I hope you were as lucky as I. Berklee Releases Oh Malô Video The opening of "As It Were," a song that looks woefully on the past, transports you backwards with an ethereal opening created by some fancy pedal work with an electric guitar. The song is then grounded by the entrance of drums and an arpeggiated guitar lick. As fleeting black-and-white shots cut from angle to angle, the energy of the song builds while lyrics are repeated ritualistically. But then the energy breaks, and the band fades away in a final non-committal chord. Check out the song,recorded live at Berklee, below and check out the Berklee YouTube channel– the college releases a new video every Wednesday. Oh Malô was nominated for "New Artist of the Year" at the 2015 Boston Music Awards, and will be performing at O'Brien's in Allston this Friday night. Black Market On Sunday The Cambridge Community Center on Callender Street will be transformed into an arts bazaar this weekend, as local artists, vendors, and businesses will gather to sell their art, records, books, body care products, and more. The market, which is hosted this year by Boston Hassle and Ignore Rock and Roll Heroes, will run from 11 to 5 on Sunday. If you're looking for something funky and artsy to do this weekend, the Black Market will be the place for you. Luhx Releases New Single Synth-pop group Luhx dropped the single "Poison" this week, and the poison has quickly spread to iTunes, Spotify, and Soundcloud. Synths, guitars, and keys back a lilting melody sung in unison by a male and female. While heavily produced, the song still maintains an organic quality. Melancholy Releases Album Hip-hop group Melancholy has released the album End of An Era on their bandcamp. The fourteen-track track list overlays old-timey samples from swing bands, lounge pianists, and early American movie stars and their vaguely British accents with percussion and raps provided by the Mattapoisett-based band. The sound is one of two eras spun together. Local Tiny Desk Submissions Over the past few weeks we have been collecting local bands' submissions to NPR's Tiny Desk Contest. Area acts have been jumping at the opportunity to play behind the heralded tiny desk, and you can check out entries from the likes of Grey Season, Oh Malô, Vic and the Crux, and others here!

Book a Haircut or Hairstyling Appointment
Receive a Haircut or a New Hairstyle at Zano Salons
Volumizing? Moisturizing? Heat-resistant? Choosing hair styling products can be tough. With the amount of products and styling tools available, figuring out which products to use for your hair type can be downright confusing.
Zano Salons offers haircuts and hairstyling services to give you the look you're seeking. Whether you have thin or thick hair, we're here to show you the tools and hair products you need to bring out the best in your locks:
Recommended Hair Products for Thin Hair
Volume Enhancing Hair Products
If you have thin hair, what you're in most need of is volume. Look for hair products such as shampoo and conditioner that offer volumizing properties. These products will help add body to your hair as you style.
Give Your Hair a Boost & Volume with Mousse
Mousse is a thin-haired girls best friend. Although mousse used to dry out hair, formulas today are made to moisturize. Look for volume enhancing types to help give your hair a boost. Just be sure to use a small amount, and run through your hair to avoid getting that helmet head look often found with overuse. If you need assistance finding a new hairstyle, visit a Zano Salons location in Naperville, Lisle, or Batavia, Illinois. We offer haircuts and hairstyling services to meet your preferences.
Enhance the Body of Your Hair with Velcro Rollers
After you're done blow drying, don't reach for the curling iron, reach for velcro rollers instead. Section off pieces of hair and curl them up in velcro rollers to add extra lift to your roots. Hit the rollers with a blast of cool air from your blow dryer to set, and viola: instant lift.
Finish Styling with a Dry Shampoo Hair Product
Still using hairspray to set your look? To enhance your hairstyle, we recommend a dry shampoo hair product. Instead of stiffening your hair, dry shampoo will absorb into your hair, offering a better hold and extended volume. Bonus tip: Don't brush your hair after applying dry shampoo. Let the hair product work its way into your hair on its own, increasing hold and decreasing fizz.
Recommended Hair Products for Thick Hair
Moisturizing Hair Products
Thick hair has a tendency to dry out. When looking for hair products, be sure to reach for ones that offer moisture. Moisturizing shampoos and conditioners are a great base for ensuring thick hair gets the care it needs to stay healthy and strong.
Frizz Controller
Always dealing with frizz and flyaways? Reach for an oil-based hair product to help tame them. Oils such as aragon help tame frizz in thick, dry hair creating a sleek look. Remember, when using oils a little goes a long way. Depending on hair length, use around a dime size amount of hair product, working it through your hair to decrease frizz.
Primer Spray
Love your thick hair but hate how long it takes to dry? Decrease blow drying time by investing in a primer spray. Priming the hair pre-blow dry will help lessen the time you'll have to stand in front of the mirror with a dryer blasting in your ear.
Right Blow Dryer
Speaking of blow drying, be sure to use the right blow dryer for the job. Thick hair can take a long time to dry, so knowing which dryer is best can help speed up the process. Look for an ion dryer with at least 1800 watts of power. This will help your hair dry faster, with less damage and frizz when compared to traditional dryers.
Want to learn how to manage your hairstyle? Our stylists know how to handle your hair, regardless of hair type, and will help you create the look you've been dreaming of. Schedule your appointment today!
