Letters to the Editor, July 20
Concerning "Yelling 'fake news' to muzzle watchdogs" (Catherine Rampell, July 19): It's truly ironic that Newt Gingrich, a former speaker of the House who was disciplined for an ethics violation, is calling the Congressional Budget Office "corrupt" and "dishonest."
The true instigators of "fake news" are not journalists and our free, independent press, but rather people like President "birther conspiracy" Trump and Newt "Hillary Clinton had a DNC staffer killed" Gingrich. Their pronouncements belong in the "National Enquirer," not in our daily newspapers.
Priscilla Massey, San Francisco
'Vandal in chief'
President Trump's response to the Republican failure to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is akin to that of a landlord who loses a court fight to evict his tenants so he can build luxury apartments. He'd already said the place was substandard, never mind that he was the one who didn't fix the broken water heater.
Now he vows to stop any maintenance at all, and maybe turn off the utilities, and that'll prove he should have prevailed. When will our president realize that being the vandal in chief with regard to every government program and institution is not the way to run the country? Will he ever?
Larry Zulch, Lafayette
Trump's speech
In "Don't call Trump an isolationist" (July 18), Ruben Navarrette Jr. seems to be unaware that for decades, politicians have hired speechwriters. Navarrette seemed especially impressed with the quote: "Our values will prevail. Our people will thrive. And our civilization will triumph." It sounds great, other than the us versus them aspect; but who actually wrote that statement? All that was proven by the speech in Warsaw's Krasinski Square was that President Trump actually can read. Apparently, he prefers reading from teleprompters to reading books, but he really can read.
To help distinguish a speech from the straight from the horse's mouth quotes, here are some samples. "I'm like smart, OK," was Trump's way of explaining that he didn't need daily intelligence briefings during the transition. This includes "Nobody knew the national health care policy was so complicated," and one of my personal favorites, "covfefe."
Gene Nielsen, Crescent Mills, Plumas County
Probably one of the main reasons "Trumpcare" has been thwarted (though like Dracula, it will no doubt rise from the grave) is that it was mislabeled. It should have been promoted under the far more accurate heading of "TrumpDoesn'tCare," where it could have nestled beside kindred policies attacking other things he demonstrably doesn't care about: women, children, the poor, the elderly, the middle class, minorities, Social Security, education, voting rights, the planet's health and so on.
That would make a truly powerful legislative and executive package, one that would establish his presidential identity clearly and resonantly, for the permanent historical record: the New Deal, the Fair Deal, the New Frontier, Reaganomics and "TrumpDoesn'tCare." Makes you proud to be an American.
Alan Heineman, San Francisco
Navigation center worry
I read Kevin Fagan's "Street camps dwindle near new city shelter" (July 18) about the new Navigation Center on South Van Ness Avenue. My family and I live very close to the center, and while many of us hope that it will have a long-term positive effect on our community, we are not confident.
While the streets are somewhat less populated by encampments at the moment, we question the long-term positive effects on the area.
The center will close in early 2018 once Lennar breaks ground on the much-needed housing units to be built on the site.
We see the future as the litmus test for the city's commitment to us, the neighbors. Will the streets be crawling with people once the clients of the center have nowhere to go once the center closes? And, if so, what will be done about it? Will the homeless and neighbors be cared for then? We certainly hope so, but there is no precedent to suggest that there will be a good outcome. Just take a look at Mission and 15th streets.
Erica Levin, San Francisco
Bipartisan climate
Regarding "Defense bill calls climate change a security threat" (July 15): It is fantastic to see Congress acknowledge the importance of climate change as part of the national policy conversation. Even more fantastic was the bipartisan support the acknowledgment received. Both Democrats and Republicans, led by 46 members of the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus, rejected the amendment put forth by Rep. Scott Perry that would have stripped the mention of climate change from the bill.
This bill, the rapid growth of the caucus and the recent announcements by the Climate Leadership Council give me hope that Congress might find a way to break partisan gridlock and solve what might be the most pressing problem of our generation.
Daniel Tahara, San Francisco
Daily cartoon fodder
Regarding Joel Pett's political cartoon (Letters, July 18): It is a prime example of our current administration's aptitude for providing day after day great cartoon fodder, but is this any way to run our nation except into the ground?
Joan Dedo, Mill Valley
Beyoncé for President
In my fantasy "celebrity government," the president would be Beyoncé, the vice president/first man would be Jay-Z, and Cabinet positions would include "Property Brothers" Drew and Jonathan Scott for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, financial guru Suze Orman for secretary of the Treasury, former talk show host and book club champion Oprah Winfrey for secretary of education, actor Robert Redford for secretary of interior, and chameleonic actress Meryl Streep for just about anything else. Angelina Jolie would make a perfect U.N. ambassador.
Luisa Westbrook, San Francisco
Rundgren should run
I think Todd Rundgren would make a great candidate for public office. Rundgren can bring many folks together through his vast repertoire, making music in a myriad of genres, including rock, rap, techno, disco, calypso, soul, opera and some that cannot be categorized. Fox News has already vilified him, giving him plenty of liberal street cred. He even has a ready-made campaign slogan: "Hello, It's Me."
Vinny Vance, South San Francisco

First Date Tips: Making A Great First Impression On Women
The GuyGetsGirl dating guide is full of first date tips. First date tips such as ALWAYS look your best. I know this sounds REALLY obvious but you'd be surprised by how many men don't follow first date tips and don't understand the importance of this simple tip. You never know when the girl of your dreams will turn up, or where. And it's become a bit of a cliché because it's true — first impressions really do count so you should pay close attention to the first date tips offered here and in the GuyGetsGirl guide.
Here are some first date tips figures to consider from my studies.
First date tips…If you make a GOOD first impression on a woman, you have a 90% chance of EVER getting with her at that point (10% of women for whatever reason will be unreachable for most men at ANY point – she might like women herself etc).
First date tips…If you make a BAD first impression your chances with her reduce drastically to just 20%. This means that to make her attracted to you AFTER the first 3 minutes of meeting her will be incredibly difficult if her first impressions of you were bad.
It's the difference between climbing a mountain and using a helicopter to fly up one. Good first impressions means you're on your way to the top in the helicopter, bad first impressions means you have a difficult climb to success – no helicopters for you.
Honestly, I can't stress this enough – (very important first date tips) always try to look your best.
5 S's of first date tips for first impressions.
First date tips – Shave. Shower. Stylish. Smell. Shoes.
Remember these 5 S's first date tips and always take care of them before you go out.
Why are shoes my number 5 S of my first date tips top 5?
Your shoes are the FIRST thing a woman really notices about your clothing and hence your appearance. A first date tips tip is for you to make sure your shoes are clean and fashionable.
First Date Tips…A very important first date tips tip is that you should be careful what you wear because what you wear is very important. For first date tips I could try to recommend a certain look but as with all things fashionable by the time you read this it may have changed.
First Date Tips…Get the latest GQ magazine or other fashionable men's magazine's (they have great clothing first date tips) and imitate the styles you see there — most women don't really care what labels you are wearing as long as you look good so you don't have to spend the Earth on clothing.
First Date Tips…Many guys who read the first date tips in the first date tips guide I help dress better usually comment on how strange they feel wearing clothes they are uncomfortable in, but nine times out of 10 they start to feel natural and even confident wearing their new wardrobe within days.
First Date Tips…Make sure you smell good. Again this is extremely important. Remember how you feel when a woman walks by you and she smells soooo good – you feel an instant attraction even though you don't know her – well, that's how women feel too.
First Date Tips…Wear a good-quality cologne, but don't spray too much.
First Date Tips…One squirt on both sides of the neck, and one squirt on both wrists — maximum. You don't want to smell too overpowering.
First Date Tips…I recommend cool water by Davidoff or John Paul Gautier for Men (often called JPG love juice because women love it) if they don't sell it where you are try to order some from abroad, this stuff is GREAT!

Centro Cultural Aztlan is pleased to present Rural Charm/Encanto Rural; a two-person mixed media and assemblage exhibit by James Miller and Lenise Perez-Miller
Rural Charm/Encanto Rural speaks about the times as they relate to James and Lenise—husband and wife—having grown-up in culturally different parts of the United States. James having moved to Texas some 20 years ago from Indiana, brought with him memories, stories, and physical artifacts that speak about who he is. Lenise, growing up Hispanic in a Spanish-Speaking family in Falfurrias and Premont Texas shares many of the same memories and stories as James, as well as shared cross-cultural processes and memories of hard-work by our parents, grandparents and selves.
Lenise Perez-Miller'swork is a reflection of her life growing up as a Hispanic female, catholic but in a predominately Anglo environment. She creates narrative pieces using clay and found objects, then redefines their meaning to conjure up past memories for viewers. This sometimes causes a contradiction, but by combining feminine materials and juxtaposing them with hard, masculine materials, like metal or wood, Lenise is able to define the beauty in memories, as well as, the humor with the sadness, and the innocence with the cruelty. The ideas of what she is supposed to be like or do in her life. The use of these objects channels the symbolism in her work, and all of these combined assist Lenise in constructing my ideas.
James Miller: Simply…James make objects because he likes to problem solve. As a ceramicist and Assemblage artist, his goal is to mine for and appropriate artifacts, images, and language into his works. The more James works with clay and mixed media materials the more secrets they reveal, this in turn affords limitless opportunities in his formative process. James's decisions are predicated on the fact that many of the source materials that he chooses to work with are made from materials that allows for cold-connections. Cold- connections (nuts, screws, and bolts, or clay, slip, and heat) allow for an archival quality. He also uses materials that are fleeting, in that, left in their natural state they would succumb to natural erosive processes. However, once James rescues them, he uses, and attempts to preserve them in a way that will extend their lives, and in turn invite others see them in a new way.
Join us at the opening reception on Friday, July 12, 2019 from 6:00-9:00pmfor light refreshments and music by FORGED IN FIREfeaturing Sabrina Lopez.
The exhibit is free and open to the public and will be on view Monday July, 8th - Tuesday, July 30, 2019 Monday-Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm.

Grey and hazy, the folds of the land, the trees and the hedgerows fade, step wise into the smoggy gloom. It is Friday and today, so the weather forecasters say, the smog should clear, but this morning it is still bad, and it has a sulphurous dampness not smelt/felt before. Got to ride to work though.
Inhaling who knows what atmospheric junk, I'm riding up one of the gradients when I feel a shortness of breath, but perhaps it's unrelated, just symptomatic of the news reports, like the slight stinging around my eyes.
We had best get used to these conditions. Yes, they'll clear but they will come back. The climate is changing and only someone as thick, or vested in interests, as Lord Lawson would deny that. We are likely to be in for longer periods of high pressure, sucking pollution from the continent and storing up our own emissions, directly into the air we breath. It would be good if governments could act to bring cleaner air, but I fear they are too timid to upset the financial clout of Big Energy and Big Business and associated shareholder dividends (after all, it's no good upsetting your future employers). I fear also they are too timid to confront our own frenzied love affair with cars and consumerism. So, they won't rock the boat for meaningful change and so, like the mercury, the WHO statistics for air pollution related deaths will keep on rising.

Learn 3-Million-Year-Old Craft at Redoubt Fortress' Flint Knapping Workshops
24 January 2018
The Redoubt Fortress will be offering the chance to get hands on and create primitive tools using prehistoric flint knapping, in a brand new series of events next month. Taught by experts from the Sussex School of Archaeology, the workshops will demonstrate how over the last 3 million years, stone was used to create tools from primitive choppers in the early Palaeolithic days to arrowheads in the hi-tech Bronze Age era.
Across three bookable sessions Chris Butler, author of the seminal work Prehistoric Flintwork, and experimental archaeologist, Grant Williams, will be teaching everything from the theory behind prehistoric technologies to a masterclass on how to knap and haft tools from scratch. With limited spaces on these sessions, archaeology enthusiasts will have to book early to avoid disappointment.
In the first session on 10 February, Chris and Grant will offer expert insight into the theory and practice behind flint, teaching how to identify prehistoric worked flint and discover the theory behind flint knapping. This £40 session will feature live flint knapping action as Grant creates replica tools and explains the knapping process.
The second session on 17 February is a practical flint knapping workshop with Grant Williams which costs £45 and covers the cost of materials. For those who have ever wondered how stone tools were created and wanted to try themselves, this workshop offers the opportunity to explore different prehistoric technologies and get hands on with this material.
Only five spaces are available for the final session on 8 September, a flint tool masterclass where Grant Williams will be teaching how to knap and haft tools for £75. As flint tools decompose over time, very few are found complete with handles so with the use of archaeological and ethnographic examples, this workshop aims to produce finished tools complete with handles that are ready to take home at the end of the session.
Eastbourne Borough Council Lead Cabinet Member for Tourism and Enterprise, Cllr Margaret Bannister said "What better way to understand our early ancestors than to replicate the skills they used to turn natural material into everyday tools? This is a truly brilliant opportunity to learn from prehistory experts and experience what life was like all those years ago. These flint study days are a must-do for anyone interested in prehistory and archaeology!"
Grant Williams is fascinated by prehistory and the journey of discovery undertaken by our ancestors. In the search to interpret archaeological contexts he has undertaken a wide range of projects exploring reconstructive archaeology. His research is predominantly focussed around the production of stone tools and he has been flint knapping for 15 years. He has worked alongside organisations such as the Sussex Archaeological Society, the Portable Antiquities Scheme, the East Sussex Archaeology and Museums Partnership, East Sussex County Council, Eastbourne Borough Council, and teaches people of all ages in schools and with a number of smaller organisations and forest schools.
Chris Butler has been an archaeologist since 1985, and formed the Mid Sussex Field Archaeological Team in 1987, and then set up a commercial archaeological business Chris Butler Archaeological Services Ltd at the beginning of 2002. Chris is a Member of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London. He was a part time lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Sussex, and taught A-Level Archaeology at Bexhill 6th Form College having qualified (Cert. Ed.) as a teacher in 2006. Chris specialises in prehistoric flintwork analysis and wrote the book Prehistoric Flintwork, which is used by many universities as a standard text book.
Prehistoric flintwork from the archives of Eastbourne Heritage Service will be on display for an up close look. Flint tool replicas will be on sale as well as signed copies of Prehistoric Flintwork to purchase at a discounted rate.
For more information or to book a space, please contact The Sussex School of Archaeology on 01323 811785 or visit www.SussexArchaeology.org/contact.

"Fire will purify your sins."
- - A Hospitaller addressing a traitor
Tactical Analysis Edit
- Purifying souls: Hospitallers, despite the awkward name, are nothing more or less than armoured flamethrower wielding soldiers. Their flamethrowers can torch infantry or buildings with ease, and more than one force has been lulled into a false sense of security by the friendly, gentle manner these warrior priests affect.
- Compression blast: Sometimes, when fire just isn't getting the job done, the solution to the problem is even more fire. By emptying an entire fuel tank in a massive gout of flame, the ensuing conflagration can reduce platoons of infantry to ash and smoke. Reloading after such a show does take a few moments, leaving the Hospitaller vulnerable to vengeful, if frequently unhinged, survivors.
- Slow and steady: The flamethrower lacks range and the heavy fuel tanks slow the Hospitaller down to a brisk walk at best, and they cannot retaliate against long-ranged or airborne attacks. Vehicles aren't much bothered, either.
- Pillar of fire: It should be noted that, while Hospitallers take the sensible precaution of wearing armour, they can still be killed, and that in such an event, their fuel tanks tend to explode rather violently.
Operational History Edit
The Order of the Talon as an organisation has existed for hundreds of years, ever since the Middle Ages. For them to have survived as a secret organisation for so long, fighting against an enemy like the Cult throughout that entire stretch of time, it is impossible to not have developed a degree of paranoia. Centuries of experience with traitors, infiltrations within their ranks, double-crosses and treachery have left the Order unwilling to trust anyone, not even their own. This is manifested in the existence of the Talon Inquisition.
As a chamber of the Order, the Inquisition is the internal police of the Order of the Talon, taking its name from the Inquisition of the Catholic Church; but where that Inquisition fought against heretics, the Talon Inquisition combats infiltrators and traitors within the Order's ranks, rooting them out wherever they can find them and preventing the Order as a whole from being corrupted and destroyed from within.
The Inquisition carefully monitors those within the Talon, maintaining eyes and ears throughout the Order's ranks--members of the Talon Inquisition observe the Forgemasters in their forges, monitor shipwrights as they go about their work, and watch over the soldiers on board Crawlers.
It should be noted, however, that the situation for Inquisition personnel on board Crawlers is somewhat different than for Inquisition personnel elsewhere. A Crawler, despite its massive capacity, can ultimately only carry a limited number of supplies for a limited number of people. A side effect of this is that all personnel are expected to be able to fight or otherwise assist in the battle in some other way should the need arise, and this extends to the Inquisition personnel on board the Crawler.
While some may grumble, the Inquisition as a whole accepts this, since having their men on the battlefield allows them to watch over the Talon's soldiers more closely, and take prompt action if it becomes necessary--after all, even a carefully vetted Templar may turn out to be a traitor, and duped soldiers may have doubts about who they're really fighting for.
Of course, because many members of the Inquisition are (admittedly) poor or even terrible when it comes to fighting and thus better assigned to other places, only certain members--the men known as Hospitallers--may be assigned to the Crawlers of the Chamber Militant. Among other things, they are selected for their combat ability; indeed, Hospitallers are no pushovers in battle; the plate armour they wear protects them against small arms and other threats, and their powerful flamethrowers allow them to immolate enemy infantry, burn soldiers out of buildings, torch structures--and should it become necessary, execute traitors on the spot.
Behind the Scenes Edit
- The Hospitaller was somewhat inspired by the Black Hand (the unit from Tiberium Wars), modified to suit the Order of the Talon.
- The Hospitaller will be also be based on your local friendly Catholic priest... armed with a flamethrower.

31 Amazing Ottawa Restaurants That Aren't In The ByWard Market
Narcity – Updated on May 02 2018
When planning a night out in Ottawa, there's no doubt that we gravitate towards places in the ByWard Market. Whether you think of specific restaurants or just the general area, heading to the Market is usually the first option when it comes to grabbing a bite.
Sure, it's a great place to check out during the weekend, but sometimes we just get bored of staying in the same area. There are so many incredible spots to eat at that aren't in the ByWard Market. It's time to try some new restaurants in our city!

As we become more aware of the different makeup brands, we also become more conscious of what ingredients go into our cosmetics. Most cosmetics contain toxic chemicals that can alter hormones and cause diseases and allergies. Other makeup brands use animal by-products in their selection.
While the use of animal products in makeup isn't exactly new, some people find the practice unhealthy for the environment and would prefer cosmetics that are free from animal-derived components.
Vegan makeup vs. Cruelty free makeup
Perhaps you've encountered beauty products labelled as "natural", "cruelty-free", and "vegan". Although they all seem the same, the three names hold their own distinctive differences. They are not interchangeable in any way.
The differences lie mainly in what the makeup contains or does not contain and how it is made:
- Natural makeup is all about using ingredients found in nature. This means the product contains no chemicals or any other artificial ingredient, but it may contain animal products like beeswax.
- Cruelty-free makeup means that the formula is never tested on animals. For a product to be truly cruelty-free, it must not be tested on animals from the manufacturing stage down to the packaging.
- Vegan makeup refers to cosmetics that do not contain any trace of animal-by products.
Can a product be both vegan and cruelty-free?
Absolutely. In fact, consumers are encouraged to buy more products that fall under both categories. However, this doesn't mean that vegan and cruelty-free products are natural as some contain chemicals to preserve the quality of the makeup.
Is your makeup vegan or cruelty-free?
Cosmetic companies may not completely remove animal products from their offerings. But the good news is that some are moving toward a more compassionate approach to creating makeup.
Not all cosmetic ingredients come from animals. Some are plant-derived while the others are synthetic. Animal products are often used in makeup because they are cheaper and easier to find.
How would you know if your makeup is vegan or cruelty-free?
A 100% cruelty-free product is usually indicated by the Leaping Bunny logo or the "Not tested on animals" slogan. A vegan product is harder to spot unless you take a good look at its list of ingredients.
Some of the ingredients may be unfamiliar and may not indicate that they come from animals. This short list of the common animal products used in cosmetics can help in determining whether a product is vegan or not.
Beeswax is commonly found in lipsticks, moisturizers, soaps and salves. It is used to prevent emulsions (mixture of oil and water, for example) from separating. It is also used in keeping lipsticks and other stick cosmetics solid.
Beeswax comes from the honeycomb of the Apis mellifera bees. Some people are allergic to propolis, the brownish red substance collected by bees from certain trees to seal their honeycombs.
Carmine comes from the female cochineal beetles that are found in South America. A popular red dye, carmine is used in both food and makeup. Not sure if your lipstick has carmine? If the label contains the names natural red 4, carminic acid, or simply carmine, chances are your lipstick has some crushed bugs in it. The deep-red color of carmine comes from the crushed cochineal beetles. The early Indians of Mexico have been using carmine for centuries, but if having bugs in your makeup bugs you, look for products that uses EPC Red, which is made from vegetable pigments.
Have you ever wondered what gives your highlighting concealer its iridescent effect? Did you ever wonder if the "natural pearl essence" really came from pearls? If you really like the luminous effect of makeup, chances are you have been using guanine or fish scales on your face.
How do fish scales get into your makeup? The scales are scraped off from dead fish and are milled into a powder. The pulverized scales still retain its shimmering effect, making them the perfect ingredient to give the all-natural glow.
Lanolin is a common ingredient in lotions, moisturizers, as well as lip glosses and lipsticks. It is an emollient that works great in dry skin to help make it soft and moisturized.
Although its benefits may be significant, lanolin is not a vegan-friendly ingredient. It is secreted by the oil glands of domestic sheep, which are raised for their wool. A good plant-based alternative to lanolin is virgin coconut oil, which has excellent moisturising properties.
Ambergris is such a beautiful name which means "grey amber". Commonly used in high-end perfumes to make the scent last longer, ambergris can also be found in scented cosmetics.
Ambergris is not an easy ingredient to find or buy. It has a price tag of $60,000 per pound and comes from the intestinal tract of sperm whales. Depending on how it is expelled, ambergris can be either whale vomit or excrement. In the United States, it is illegal to use ambergris on cosmetic products because sperm whales are considered as endangered species. However, if you are buying cosmetics from Europe, you might encounter it in the ingredients list.
Collagen is a popular makeup and skincare ingredient that is used for its youthful benefits. It is usually found in anti-aging cosmetics and makes products creamier and easier to apply.
There are mixed reviews on the skincare benefits of collagen, and there are people who avoid this ingredient because it is derived from the bones, skins, and ligaments of animals (usually cows and pigs). For people who do not want animal by-products on their skincare and makeup, look for products that contain aloe vera extracts to help fill in the wrinkles on the skin.
Oleic acid
Oleic acid is used in moisturizers, lipsticks and soap. As an emollient, it works great in softening and conditioning the skin.
While this ingredient has its plant-based counterpart, the most common oleic acid comes from animal fat or tallow. Similar to collagen, oleic acid is derived by boiling animal parts. If you are not comfortable using animal fat on your skin, you can use oleic acids from avocados, canola and olive oil.
Snail mucin
Korean cosmetics are known for making snail creams sound so luxurious. Used for revitalizing the skin and fading acne scars, snail mucin is made from snail guts. This gives skincare and makeup products a thick consistency and it supposedly has wound healing properties that help snails heal much faster whenever they cut themselves on rocks. A rather unconventional ingredient, snail mucin delivers its promises but it may take some getting used to.
Is vegan makeup for you?
It all boils down to personal preference and values. What may work for others may not be suitable to your taste and lifestyle. A good rule of thumb is to reach for products that have fewer synthetic ingredients as much as possible.
Makeup and skincare products that are laden with chemicals are not only harmful to health, but to the environment as well. Steer clear of products that have hard to pronounce names. These are usually names of chemicals that alter hormones and become toxic when they enter the bloodstream.
Biconi is a company that believes in the humane treatment of animals. All our natural ingredients like our virgin coconut oil and noni enzyme are plant-derived. Shop natural skincare products to see the difference.

Parents Of Baby Predicted Not To Survive 48hrs Back Charity's Big Chocolate Tea Campaign
"Every day Ashley and I are amazed by how far he's come."
The parents of a baby boy who was not expected to survive more than 48 hours are calling on their local community to support The Sick Children's Trust's Big Chocolate Tea fundraiser this April.
Natasha and Ashley Elley, from Basildon, were given free 'Home from Home' accommodation by The Sick Children's Trust when their son, Toby, was born 15 weeks early and needed lifesaving treatment at The Rosie Hospital, Cambridge. When Toby was just two days old, his parents were told to consider turning off their son's life-support machine. But thankfully, Toby started to show signs of recovery and, after a gruelling 105 days in hospital, he was finally allowed home.
During his time in The Rosie Hospital, Natasha and Ashley were just a few minutes' walk from their son's bedside thanks to free 'Home from Home' accommodation run by The Sick Children's Trust. The couple are now calling on others to support the charity's biggest annual fundraising campaign and get involved with Big Chocolate Tea from Friday 21 April to Monday 1 May. Big Chocolate Tea raises money to support families with free 'Home from Home' accommodation when their child is seriously ill in hospital. Natasha, who stayed at Chestnut House, says:
"Basildon is miles away from The Rosie Hospital, so I don't know what we would've done without Chestnut House. There was nowhere else we wanted to be but by our son's side. It was a huge worry, but thankfully Chestnut House took care of that worry for us by giving us free 'Home from Home accommodation just minutes from Toby's hospital bedside.
"Since our stay in Chestnut House, Toby has been back in hospital for a further operation due to some complications. But he's doing really well and is back to his normal smiley self. And every day Ashley and I are amazed by how far he's come.
"We want to raise awareness of this amazing charity because they supported us when we needed it the most. And by getting involved in Big Chocolate Tea and raising £30, we know that we can help another family who is going through every parent's worst nightmare by giving them a 'Home from Home' so they can be there for their seriously ill child."It costs £30 to support a family for one night with a private room in one of the charity's ten 'Homes from Home', which include access to communal kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms and dining rooms alongside a direct telephone line from each bedroom to the hospital ward. Chestnut House Manager, Abi Abdel-aal, says:
"We're delighted that Natasha and Ashley are helping to spread the word about Big Chocolate Tea, we really appreciate it when families stay in touch and support us in helping others whose lives have been thrown into turmoil.
"Big Chocolate Tea is all about getting together with friends, family and colleagues over tea and chocolate. At the same time, it's a chance to make a difference to families with seriously ill children. If you can raise £30 by holding a Big Chocolate Tea event, your money will go towards supporting a family, keeping them together when it matters most."
Supporters can choose to take part in Big Chocolate Tea at any point during the year and will receive a free fundraising pack full of goodies to hold the perfect event. For more information and to request your pack, please visit: http://www.sickchildrenstrust.org/bigchoctea.

Photo prompt (c) 2015 Barbara W Beacham
Finish the story is a weekly challenge to complete a story in 100-150 words prompted by the photo and the first sentence.
This weeks sentence is "The petroglyphs told the story of an unusual event." Here is my story :
The petroglyphs told the story of an unusual event. My thoughts were elsewhere.
I even had to ask what petroglyphs were and Simon was impatient to explain everything about them to me.
He twisted and gyrated his little body on the bedside chair and excitedly explained pictograms and logograms.
He'd been studying hard at school and lived and breathed the subject, Before that it was the Titanic I think.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, letting my burdensome head sink further into the pillow.
It was hard to concentrate due to the medication but the near absence of pain was preferable to having a clear head.
I opened my eyes and reached out for his warm little hand and the smiles we exchanged expressed, without words, the deep love between us.
"You will tell me that story won't you little darling!" I murmured.
"Sure thing Grandad" he replied. (142 words)

"In every business, in every industry, management does matter." Michael Eisner
The day to day productivity of any business carries with it a long to-do list.Taking responsibility for two of its core elements, Operations and Customer Service, must involve a limitless number of tasks. If it does, then William is not showing it. He is the man to call, always available to colleagues with a ready attitude and even tone.
MC Systems, with its suite of solutions, has a reputation of giving customers exactly what they need, from that initial meeting to training staff, installation and maintenance of equipment. Behind the scenes there are of course details to be worked out. The details are what William enjoys most.
Always a quick learner, William not only entered high school before time but has always been interested in learning and maintaining his edge above the competition. With a career path that includes marketing, he has certifications from Cisco, Hewlett-Packard and in project management, sales and marketing.
He adds, "I like to deal with challenges and offer solutions and put systems and processes in place to ensure the same issues don't happen again. After a decade at MC Systems, we still find ways to differentiate ourselves from others in the industry. We're nimble and focused on the big picture, not just a quick fix and we're willing to change course if necessary. MC Systems is always looking ahead and offering our customers new ways to use technology."
With such a busy schedule, William uses his time away from the office to relax and regroup. An avid world traveller, he's visited every continent except Africa, a gap which he hopes to bridge soon. "Once I'm home I'll watch a movie. I like all types once it's a good movie or I'll tune in to a music station and enjoy my free time. I read a lot and I'm pretty sure that I've read every John Grisham novel."

Change the network command in OSPF.
Which statements are correct about HP StoreOnce Backup? (Select two.)
A network administrator has an HP Comware switch that is configured with OSPF. The network administrator views the routing table and sees that a default route was learned from an OSPF neighbor (10.1.1.1). However, the network administrator wants to override this action and use a different neighbor (10.1.1 2) for the default route. The network administrator configures this command: [Comware] ip route-static 0.0.0.0 0 10.1.1.2 After configuring the command, the network administrator examines the routing table and notices that the original neighbor's default route is still in the routing table, but the static route is missing. What is the cause of this problem?
OSPF routes have a lower precedence value
A network administrator is expanding part of the data center in a hospital network. Three new racks of equipment need to be added, with an HP Comware 5820 series switch at the top of each rack The Comware 5820 series switch needs to connect back to two core Comware 12500 switches using 10Gb connections.

It's lovely to have you here Darlene. Please step up on the soap box.
Please tell us something about yourself.
I'm probably considered a late bloomer as I didn't start writing seriously until later in life. But I have always loved to tell stories and made up tales in my head growing up on a ranch in southern Alberta. I recall pretending I was in exciting, foreign countries having an adventure. I had two wishes as a child, one was to travel the world and the other was to be a published writer one day. I have been very lucky as I have held wonderful jobs over the years, raised two amazing children, and been blessed with four grandchildren and two great grandchildren. My dreams have come true…

Check it out, especially if you love pets. Read about how I use animals in my books and how animals have affected my writing life. Of course, Dot is included.
Pens, Paws, and Claws would like to welcome author, Darlene Foster to the blog!
Spending time with my dog relaxes me and inspires ideas. When I get stuck, I take her for a walk and often return with fresh new ideas. She also gets me off my butt and away from the computer. When she thinks I have been there too long, she comes into my office with her ball and drops it in front of me, looking at me with those big puppy dog eyes. I just can't say no. Before moving to Spain and getting our dog we had cats. They would sleep on my lap or on my feet while I wrote. A writer needs pets. They are great to discuss ideas with.
Living on a farm/ranch there were always animals around so I love animals of all sorts….

I am pleased to have as my guest today, author Stevie Turner. I have been following Stevie's blog for a couple of years and her posts are fun, interesting and informative. She also holds a short story contest most months. She is a prolific writer as you can see and enjoys attending rock concerts. Stevie and her husband love spending time at their holiday home on the Isle of Wight, a place I love and included in Amanda in England.
Stevie Turner grew up in the East End of London and was fortunate enough to attend an excellent primary school which encouraged creative writing. After winning an inter-schools' writing contest, Stevie began to keep a diary and often added little stories and poems to it as the years went by. However, she did not take up writing seriously until 2013. By this time her two sons had left home and she had more time to herself.
Stevie has now written 10 novels, 6 novellas, 1 memoir, and 18 short stories, winning a New Apple Book Award in 2014 and a Readers' Favorite Gold Award in 2015 for her third novel 'A House Without Windows'. You can find details of all her books on her website http://www.stevie-turner-author.co.uk
Stevie still lives in the same picturesque Suffolk village that she and husband Sam moved to in 1991 with their two boys. One of her short stories, 'Lifting the Black Dog', was recently published in '1000 Words or Less Flash Fiction Collection' (2016). She has also written an article 'Look on the Bright Side of Life' which was included in the 2016 book 'They Say I'm Doing Well' which are articles about mental illness, proceeds of which go to the charity MIND. Her screenplay 'For the Sake of a Child' won a silver award in the Spring 2017 Depth of Field International Film Festival, and gained interest from an independent film production company based in New York.
1. What made you decide on the type of books you write?
I write realistic women's fiction with a psychological twist, also suspense and darkly humorous books. These are the genres I like to read, and the type of books I am interested in. I couldn't write a fantasy novel even if you paid me to do so!
2. How long have you been seriously writing?
Since 2013. I began to work part-time then, the children had grown up and flown the nest, and I had more time on my hands. I had always dabbled with writing poems and stories since childhood, but it wasn't until I was in my fifties that I realised I had been privy to a wealth of life experiences over the years. I think 2014/2015 were my most prolific writing years.
3. Where do you get your ideas?
From life events, from items of news on TV or radio, and from tales I've been told over the years. I only write about realistic situations.
4. What is your writing process?
I don't have one. I write when I feel like it. When the words don't come I stop and do something else.
5. Where do you do your best writing?
In my quiet, air-conditioned front room. Sam works from home upstairs in his office, and I sit downstairs and write. Sometimes he comes down for a cup of tea and we even talk to each other.
6. How long does it take you to write a book?
How long is a piece of string? I have no deadlines to meet, and only write when I feel like it. Therefore one book could take months. My latest book 'A Marriage of Convenience' was completed in about 3 months
7. Do you work on more than one story at a time?
Never. I'd get totally mixed up with all the names and characters and end up writing a load of gibberish. No, I see one book through to the end.
8. How do you come up with names for your characters?
I don't like fancy names – plain good old-fashioned names suit my characters. I also like short names so I don't have to keep typing long ones. I write down various short traditional names and pick the one I like best.
9. What books did you read as a child?
Mostly Enid Blyton's 'Adventure' series or the Mallory Towers' series. I used to love books about private schools. I also liked the Nancy Drew mysteries by Carolyn Keene. I wanted 'titian' hair like Nancy!
10. Who are some of your favourite authors, and why?
I like the psychological thrillers that Mark Edwards writes. I also like Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins' books, again because of the psychological aspect. I also like books by A.J Cronin, L.P Hartley, and R.F Delderfield.
11. What advice would you give an aspiring author?
Write for a hobby. Don't expect to earn your living from it, because there are too many other authors out there all trying to get their books out in front. Expect nothing, and you won't be disappointed.
12. Tell us about what you are working on now.
Absolutely nothing! I've just finished 'A Marriage of Convenience', which will be published on 6th July, and I'm going to take a couple of months off over the summer to enjoy my holiday home on the Isle of Wight and spend time with the family. There's more to life than writing…
Thanks so much, Stevie for being a guest on my blog.

I woke up to a pleasant surprise one day this week. A fabulous review of Amanda in Alberta – The Writing on the Stone was posted on Evie Carter´s blog site. I felt like a child of mine had been complimented. It made my day!!
This is what she had to say.
What I liked
This was one of the best Children's adventure books I've read in a while. Although geared toward younger readers, maybe seven to nine and up, it was well written and had delightful characters.
First of all the plot was tight and flowed. There was enough excitement to even keep me interested and would have been the kind of book I'd have loved as a kid.
read more of the review here: http://eviecarter.novelblogs.com/book-review-amanda-in-alberta/
I do hope this review will cause a few copies of Amanda in Alberta to show up under some Christmas trees this year!
Evie also interviewed me http://eviecarter.novelblogs.com/author-interview-with-darlene-foster/ if you wish to learn more about me and my writing.
I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful season, staying safe and not getting overwhelmed by it.
Thanks for reading my blog!

I am a guest over at JLB Creatives today, being interviewed by the lovely and talented Janet Beasley. She asks some unique questions that were fun to answer.
Posted by: Darlene on: February 4, 2014
"Have you ever wanted to go back in time? Here is your opportunity." Bess Turner, a woman of the twenty-first century, would like to invite you to accompany her on a journey to London, England. The season is Christmas. The year is 1847. The adventure begins with a light in a window. Mesmerized, Bess hears street noises behind her. No, that cannot be; she is in her living room, looking at a miniature building on the mantel. True, but …. Meet her colourful Victorian family, stay for a cup of tea, and taste the flaming plum pudding. Hold your breath and squeeze into the dreaded corset. Swirl around the majestic Vauxhall to the Viennese Waltz. Take in the smells and sounds of the horse-drawn carriages along busy Fleet Street. Enjoy the ride; it is The Bess Time.
My review of The Bess Time
Who wouldn't love to go back in time to visit Charles Dickens's London at Christmastime? This is what happens to Bess Turner when she stares into the lights of the miniature Victorian street scene on her mantle. A delightful venture into time travel, the author does an excellent job of transitioning from the twenty first century to the nineteenth century with ease. The many unique characters are well developed and you will definitely fall in love with them as they become as familiar as your own friends and neighbours. Even the charming Mr. Dickens himself makes a cameo appearance. The setting, the accents, the food, the weather, the clothing and the customs of the time come to life on the page. There are many laughs and a few tears as Beth divides her time between a modern North American Christmas and a traditional London Christmas of 1847. I didn't want the story to end and am happy to hear there is a sequel in the works. You will need to buy two copies of The Bess Time, one for yourself and one for a friend as you won't want to give this one away. Pour yourself a cup of tea and enjoy!
Interview with the author Yvonne Pont
How long have you been writing?
Since I was in high school, but not seriously till about 2009. Before that, I have written for my various club newsletters, letters to family and friends and minutes for meetings. I took various writing courses and joined a writers' group. Both of which have helped tremendously to hone my craft.
What gave you the idea for this book?
The miniature buildings and the built in curiosity and imagination to discover what goes on behind closed doors. Wouldn't it be fun to go back in time and observe? So I did.
What made you decide to self-publish?
I tried the traditional way, but it is not easy for an unknown author to have a publisher in today's market take a chance on them. So I took the bull by the horns, took a deep breath and plunged head first into another world I knew nothing about. Each day brings new challenges and tests the will to continue. A relative once told me if you sit in the safety of your backyard and never venture out, life passes you by.
I just love the characters. Did you pattern them after people you know?
Yes, a few are, and others have the names, but not the personalities of the namesakes. Observing people while in restaurants, shops, etc. is a good way to add or start on a character.
How did you manage to get all those accents down pat? It wasn't long and I knew who was talking without the tags, just from the accent!
I made a profile of each character and added their special dialogue. I wanted the reader to experience what Bess did and that was to listen to their different accents of that time in history. It had to be as real as possible.
I also love the cover art work. Was this your idea? How did you find an illustrator for the cover?
I told the artist exactly what I wanted, and she went from there. I also took pictures of figures and buildings in shadow to get the idea across to her. Fortunately, my good friend and artist, Connie Wicklund, did a great job. Iryna Spica of Spica Design in Victoria gave me samples for the title printing and holly emblem. I picked what I felt went best with the book and artwork.
What authors have inspired you? Who are your all time favourite authors?
Charles Dickens, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and Jane Austen.
Do you have a writing routine?
I try. However, life keeps getting in the way. Thank goodness, I have not experienced writer's block, so it is not difficult to get my thoughts on paper on short notice. I always write in long hand and then transpose it to my laptop. My thoughts, my hand, the pen and paper work as one. Transferring it to the laptop is another step to further editing the piece.
Are you a plotter or a panster? (do you plot the story out before hand or write by the seat of your pants as ideas come to you?)
Yes, I have a plot. Yes, ideas come while the hand is on the paper too. Does that make me a plotster?
Tell us a little about you including some quirks or funny habits.
I love animals, travel, gardening. I tend to relate an object such as my car, a book as human. Each has its own personality and story to tell. As far as the funny habits, you will have to ask my husband……….
What is the name of the next book in the Christmas in Time series and when do you expect it to be completed?
"Nick Of Time" I hope to have it finished and published for fall of 2015.
What advice would you give someone thinking of writing a book?
Go for it! However, learn your craft and join a writers' group who will critique and give you sage advice. Editing is a must and must be done many times before the work is finished. But above all, don't forget this is your work. Be true to it! Heed others advice, but if it is not what you want or had in mind for your story, let them write their own book.
Great advice! So happy to meet yet another Jane Austen fan too. Thank you, Yvonne for sharing a bit about yourself and your book.
You can buy The Bess Time here or here
Visit Yvonne's website http://www.yvonnepont.com/ to learn more about her.
The author is giving away a copy of her book to one of the lucky readers of this blog. Just add a comment and your name will be put in the draw. Don't forget to comment before the deadline, February 14.

Home and Office Generators
You may have heard of electric generators before but you probably do not really know how these machines work. Electric generators can really do so much for you so you should really think about getting one if you do not have one yet. If you are someone who owns an electric generator, you are really someone who is a lucky person as these electric generators are really good to have indeed. Without further due, let us explore this wonderful electric generator and what it can do for you and for everyone else who plans to get it for their home and for their buildings or malls or stores.
These electric generators are really great to have as they can really give you a lot of electricity when everywhere else does not have because it can generator its own power which is a really good thing indeed. If you have malls that use up a lot of electricity and if you have office buildings that really need electricity to keep functioning well, you should really get an electric generator because if you do not have one and the power lines go out, you will really be troubled. This is because these malls and these office buildings usually have these electric generators so that when the power dies, they can still get to have electricity by turning on their electric generators. If you have this at your home, you can easily turn it on when the power goes out and you will have electricity so that you do not have to suffer the black out. This is a really wonderful benefit indeed and if you really want to have this electric generator, there are a lot for sale out there that you can go and get.
The nice part about these electric generators is that they are really easy to work so you do not have to be an electrician to find out how you can manage these electrical generators. There are so many big buildings that have these generators as they can really help them to keep the energy and the power going even when there are electrical problems all around the city. If you can not find electric generators at your stores, you should really look elsewhere as there are so many out there for sale and you just have to look well to find them. Maybe you do not need a really big generator to give light to your place so you can just get those small sized electric generators for your place.
6 Facts About Electrical Everyone Thinks Are True

I need to write this entry for my wiki anyway, so I thought I'd make it a blog post as well in the hope it might help other people getting started with Audible ACX narration. That said, this post is technical in nature and only covers that portion of the process. I'll write another post once my sound studio is finished that discusses sound attenuation for audio recording. Suffice to say for now that you need a silent, sound-dampened environment to work in, since it's virtually impossible to scrub sound artifacts from a recording without sacrificing quality.
I use Audacity and an AT2020 USB Microphone on a MacBook Pro, but your mileage may vary. I recommend all three, since Audacity is free and robust, the AT2020 is a great mic and the MacBook Pro is a workhorse for content creation.
Both Audacity and the microphone should be left at their default levels, making certain that (Mono) Input Channel is selected from the dropdown menu at the top middle of the Audacity program window and 44100 is selected as the Project Rate (Hz) in the dropdown menu at the lower right. This is important because changing the default levels of your recording software and microphone can throw the audio levels off and cause your project to fail the ACX QA test.
When recording with Audacity, I use a process I learned from vo2gogo.com. I click the record button, read until I make a mistake and then click the stop button. Directly thereafter I click the fast-forward button, which causes the next block of recording to begin as a new audio track beneath and forward of the first one. When I'm finished with the piece I'm working on, I begin editing with the last audio track, copying and pasting backward over my mistakes until I reach the beginning and have a complete and contiguous audio file with no mistakes in it. For more information on this method and a comprehensive class on recording for Audible, check out "Recording for ACX.com with Audacity".
Finally, among the Audible ACX Audio Submission Requirements is a requirement for beginning and end silence at the front and back of each recording and a space of silence between each chapter name and the start of the following chapter body. Let me break that down for you:
- .5 to 1 second of silence at the beginning of each recording.
- 2.5 seconds of silence between a chapter name and the beginning of that chapter body.
- 3 to 5 seconds at the end of each recording.
You can meet this requirement easily by leaving plenty of silence before and after each recording while you work and then cutting it down to size.
You're bound to have mouse clicks or perhaps even a few heavy breaths in the final recording. I eliminate these right away with an Audacity plugin called Noise Gate. To do this, select the entire contiguous recording, click on the Noise Gate plugin in the Effect menu and run it at the default settings. This creates a nice, quiet baseline in the work and softens those breath sounds. For a more comprehensive tutorial on this process, check out Olivio Sarikas' YouTube tutorial, Remove breathing sound from your audio recording // Audacity. You'll also have to download and install the Noise Gate plugin, so here's an instruction page for that: Audacity Plug-Ins and Libraries.
Once you've done this, you should export the Audacity file as WAV 16 Bit PCM. This will be a large, lossless file that you can then manipulate further. Take that file and run it through Levelator, which will compress your recording and make it equally loud throughout so that it can be heard easily with headphones, over ambient noise, etc. Note that Levelator is no longer being maintained by its developers as of 2012, but the final program still works well on on my Mac, and I know a number of people use it for Audible ACX post-production work.
Levelator will spit out an output file, which you should import back into Audacity and export again as a 192 Bit Mono MP3. That's your final file. Name it appropriately and upload it to ACX.
End Notes
Keep everything. I keep backups of each stage in the recording and post-production process; the original Audacity project, a separate project for the contiguous recording before it is altered, a copy of the WAV file and of course, a copy of the MP3.
Finally, this is by no means a comprehensive look at the technical elements of recording and post-production for Audible ACX. It's meant to help you fill in the blanks if you already have some facility with Audacity or other recording software and are somewhat comfortable with the Audible ACX Submission Requirements. If you aren't, then please let me again recommend "Recording for ACX.com with Audacity". Yes, it's a bit pricey, but so is your equipment, and you shouldn't skimp on that, either.
Okay, that's it! Hope I helped. Now to port this into my wiki.
I have it from the folks at Audible ACX that you don't need to include end matter such as listings of forthcoming titles, indices or other notes in your narration, though you might choose to if you wish. This might be especially important for hybrid or self-published writers who like to include a request for reviews or a URL to their newsletters at the end of a story or novel in ebook or paper formats.

|A poster for the drama "Thirty but Seventeen." Courtesy of SBS
By Dong Sun-hwa
A worker on the SBS drama "Thirty but Seventeen," was found dead at his home Wednesday, after reportedly working 76 hours over five days amid the record-breaking heatwave.
According to the National Union of Media workers, the worker was a freelance "focus puller," who helped the camera operators.
It added that staff had been working outside excessively from July 25-29, when Korea was virtually melting in scorching heat, sometimes close to 40C.
The man had two days off on July 30 and 31, but died suddenly on Aug. 1.
"The cause is not yet known, but he was a healthy 30-year-old man with no record of chronic disease," wrote the union Thursday. "Therefore, long work hours of shooting are highly likely to have brought about the death."
The union also urged the broadcasting company and the Ministry of Employment to introduce measures immediately to improve working conditions for broadcasting productions.
The crew carried on with the shooting on Thursday morning due to a tight television schedule, but cancelled the afternoon plan in order to go to the mortuary instead.
"We are waiting for the result of a police investigation regarding the cause of death," SBS said.

- Navigate to the Sell menu and select Memberships.
- There are two types of memberships available: Season and Rolling.
- If your programming is only for part of the year or has a fixed beginning and end date, it's probably best to choose a Seasonal membership.
- If your programming is year-round, it's probably better to choose a Rolling membership.
Basic Membership Details
Setting up a Membership is similar to setting up a ticket type, so if you've ticketed a show with Artful.ly, the workflow should feel familiar.
- Membership Name: This could just be "Membership," or it could be a creative name specific to your organization. If you sell multiple types of membership you'll want to make sure each type has a different name. For example, if you have "Bronze," "Silver," or "Gold" memberships, you would have three membership types each with a different name.
- Description: Describe the benefits a patron gets by purchasing this membership. Similar to a ticket type description, this is where you communicate the nitty-gritty details.
Membership Start and End Date (Seasonal Only): This is where you define a season for a seasonal membership by choosing a start date and an end date. This is the range of time the membership will be valid for.
(Or) Membership Duration (Rolling Only): If you're setting up a rolling membership, you'll define the length of the membership, as opposed to the date range of the season. Most organizations will probably choose one year.
- Set the membership price: Enter the cost of the membership.
- Add renewal price: If you select to offer a renewal price, the patron will have the option to re-up at a discounted rate when their membership expires.
- Choose who pays the fee: You have the option to have the patron pay the service fee, or fold the cost into the membership price. For a detailed breakdown, check out our membership fees article.
Storefront Copy
- Thanks Message: The thanks message appears on your patron's browser after he or she has purchased a membership.
Email Message: After purchasing a membership, your patron is sent an email confirmation message with further instructions. You can customize this to include details about how to use their membership benefits or thank them once again.
- Sales Start: Select the date when people can first buy a membership. This is useful if you're creating your membership type before it goes on sale.
- Sales End: This is the last day a patron could buy a membership. An end date is especially important for organizations that sell memberships for a season that runs for part of the year.
- Show on Storefront: Checking this box publishes the membership type to your membership storefront. In most cases, you'll want to have this box checked, but if you have a private membership type, you can leave the box unchecked. This is similar to publishing and unpublishing a show.
- Limit Per Transaction: This limit is how many memberships a patron can buy in one transaction. In most cases, you'll want to leave this option at one. Here are two sample scenarios for setting a limit:
- When a membership equals one seat per play, an organization may want to allow a single patron to purchase multiple memberships for him and his family members.
- If your organization does not limit how many tickets a member can buy at a discount, you'll want to leave the limit per transaction at one: One Patron - One Membership.
Once your membership type is saved it will be available in your Organization's Membership Storefront. You can reach the membership storefront from the link on the membership type creation page, or by going to your Central Storefront and clicking Become a Member.

According to recent findings by TMZ, Kanye West filed paperwork last month for a new LLC called, Half Beast. The paperwork was filed under "film production," which could only mean that Ye is planning to produce and distribute more than just music these days! The trademark for Half Beast, was allegedly filed back in 2015/2016, so this is definitely something Ye has been trying to launch for some time now.
And it looks like it's finally coming. Stay tuned in for updates!

How to become a good Writer and SpeakerBecoming a good writer and speaker
" You put all your thoughts into words and you will soon be a good author.
In order to be a great orator, get out of your comfy area and engage with others. Improve your speech abilities by becoming a member of the TOASTMASTMASTRUB. The toast master will help you in your speech and face the whole wide globe with your fluency in communicating. In order to become a great author, you have to study other people's work.
That' re the basis and you could begin typing. You could begin by starting to blog or keep a daily log. Finally, you can post for journals. I' ve tried both and I' ve become a better man. In order to become an efficient author, you must read.
Yes, you need to study a great deal of reading and research the actual typing abilities, followed by other authors. You have to study a great deal to become a good orator. They need to develop a fluency, vocabulary, body speech, etc. Or you can take a video of Ted Talc and other keyboard players and see their music.
I am also a novelist and main lecturer and I have taken some interesting MOOC classes and these classes have been very helpful in helping me to improve as a novelist and narrator. It' a long way if your tactic is good and enthusiastically upgraded and executed with your own skill, which makes you and your typing and talking laudable.
If you are a novelist, or in typing is more of a precise fluent meaning nor do you see the deep begin at once until the end take your focus on what you really want to type and in speech it is a hands-on job that comes when you frequently practise in intra-personal, interhuman, organization vs. bulk chat.
To speak and transmit is difficult, but connected with real speech, because it is a force of words.

Our education system will be considered at par with the international standards of education by the time our teachers will feel proud in telling about their profession to others; when becoming a teacher will be the top most priority of our young talented lot; when our teachers will be able to get their work done and their legitimate demands fulfilled without knocking the door of a politician or without greasing the palm of an official. The renowned writer Ashfaq Ahmed (late) writes that, while in Italy, once he was summoned by a court of law to face a trial, the judge and the audience gave him a standing ovation on learning that he was a teacher. He adds that at that moment the secret of success of Italian nation dawned upon him. If we have a cursory glance at the current social milieu, we will learn that our society does not pay due respect to the teachers. It is a bitter reality that while commuting in public transport, a teacher is not given a due respect. The government can not be absolved in this regard. A teacher has to perform flood, election and census duties along with teaching in his classes. Then punitive measures against teachers are materialised by the government in a knee-jerk style but when there is a time to reward a teacher, government works at a snail's pace.
With each passing day, government introduces new and novel policies to improve the falling standard of education but without capitalising on teachers no policy will serve our purpose. We shall have to change the mindset of our entire nation as far as the value and esteem of a teacher is concerned in order to improve our education standard.
