TROY AUTHOR DAY will feature two panel discussions, each running approximately 45 minutes.
Limited seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis. We're hoping to record both panels and publish them on YouTube after the event, so if you're unable to attend, check back at this site the following week.
1PM: CREATIVE PANEL, moderated by Paul Grondahl. Some of the day's authors will discuss their creative processes.
2PM: PUBLISHING PANEL, moderated by Susan Novotny of The Book House & Jessika Hazelton of The Troy Book Makers. Authors will discuss their own paths to publication, the current state of the industry, and the self-publishing phenomenon.


Over the weekend, Mike Zielinski of the Mint News Blog posted a slide show of the candidates for the America the Beautiful Quarters program. Starting in 2010, the US Mint will release five quarters per year until 2020 and one quarter in 2021 honoring one National Park or National Historic Site in the 50 states, District of Columbia, and five insular territories.
Mike put together a slide show of the design candidates.
The first thing I notices is that the image of the proposed obverse of the new quarters show a better executed design. George Washington's hair looks less spaghetti-like and the features are stronger. While I would have preferred to see Teddy Roosevelt on the obverse of this quarter, a better image of our first president is a good consolation.
In looking at the designs, there seems to be an effort by the Mint to come up with meaningful designs than the State Quarters. I am sure that they will not be coming up with dead skulls and cuds for designs.
Regardless of the designs, I continue to not be excited about these quarters.

ROUND-UP | Four games survive the weather as Chester and Curzon Ashton register victories
Header Image Credit: Alison Greenwood
SSE Women's FA Cup
As covered live on Saturday Manchester City were the first team to book their place into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 3-0 win over Women's National League side Watford. The goals came from a Nikita Parris brace and Pauline Bremer. You can read our match report from the game HERE.
You can also read Manager Nick Cushing's post-match comments HERE
A Lauren James brace, either side of a Siobhan Chamberlain penalty save, saw Manchester United win their fist ever FA Cup tie away to WSL side Brighton & Hove Albion. The draw for the fifth round will be made at 6:30pm on Monday evening with the majority of the ties still yet to be played.
FC United of Manchester moved up to fourth with a 3-0 derby win at home to Manchester Stingers. The home side were a goal up inside 2 minutes as Jess Battle scored from a narrow angle at the near post. Stingers proved significant resistance and it wasn't until the 66th minute FC doubled their lead when Battle added her second. The third goal came courtesy of Aime O'Keefe who tapped home from six yards in the final minute. Three points lifts FC United to fourth whilst Manchester Stingers drop to eighth.
The Merseyside derby saw both Merseyrail and Mossley Hill Athletic who drew 1-1 at St John Bosco High School. Sophie Perry scored for the home side whilst Olivia Ellinson found the net for Mossley Hill. Athletic are 5th whilst Merseyrail move up to 7th.
Division One South

Chester welcomed Warrington Wolverines to the Ellesmere Sports Village with the hosts looking to take advantage of Altrincham, Liverpool Feds Reserves West Didsbury & Chorlton falling victim to the weather. However despite Chester being forced to play an outfield player in goal they were thanks to goals from Amy Bromhead and Amber Bailey. Three points for Chester lifts them to above Stockport County Blues into sixth and with five games remaining are in contention for a top half finish. The Wolverines have dropped to fifth place thanks to Curzon's win against Wythenshawe Amateurs.
After the Amateurs resilience away to West Didsbury & Chorlton the following week they must have been hoping for better things when they opened the goalscoring away to Curzon Ashton. Amy Smith responded for Curzon after Asleigh Morris and Mya Holmes combined to create the opening. Smith added her second with a 40 yard effort to make it 2-1 before added her hat-trick inside 20 minutes with a 45 yard effort to make it 3-1.
Monique Pollard continued her positive start to life at her new club as she crossed home for Holmes to make it 4-1 before Paris Welsh made it 5-1. Holmes made it 6-1 before half time with her second after Holly Espie's run In the second half Pollard supplied another goal as Espie got herself on the scoresheet before Aliza Angus rounded off the scoring to make it 8-1. The win lifted Curzon up to third, just four points off top spot whilst Wythenshawe remain bottom.
After Altrincham were forced to postpone their game against Warrington Wolverines last weekend due to 'unforeseen circumstances' the club announced that Manager Keith Edleston had left the club a few days later. Chris Rowley was expected to lead the team for Sunday's game against West Didsbury & Chorlton until the frozen conditions took hold which wiped out most of the regions games.
Division One North
No games survive the weather this weekend but there was two huge bits of news from around the Division.
A week after Crosby announced an affiliation with Marine FC broke the news that their open age team was withdrawing from Division One North of the NWWRFL after less than one season in the league. Having been promoted in the summer Crosby's record of 2 wins, 2 draws and a 2-point deduction from their 12 league games. Their record has been expunged reducing the division to 11 teams.
There was more positive news from the division, despite their being no games played, as Bury FC announced that they are to be formally incorporated into the football club with the first team to play their games at Gigg Lane moving forward.
Bury Manager Scott Johnson told buryfc.co.uk; "Falling under the professional football club is a massive honour and a positive for the community to show both men's and women's football at The Energy Check Stadium at Gigg Lane, using the ethos of allowing youth an opportunity and playing attacking football. This is the start of a new era at Bury FC within the women's game and it's ideal for how we want to play our brand of football associated with the club."
Captain Lucy Golding added; "Playing but also being the Captain is such a privilege for me, organising such a young side on the field and understanding the youth coming through is inspiring. Now to be part of Bury FC and to play in such a great stadium is a massive dream come true"
The Shakers's first fixture at Gigg Lane will be Sunday 24th February against Workington Reds, 2pm kick off.
GMWFL Division Two
Just one game survived the weather in the entire GMWFL as Swinton hosted Heyside in the first semi-final of the Division Two Cup. The Division Two leaders Heyside were humbled as they were beaten 8-1 thanks to a pair of four goal hauls from Anna Broadie and Emma Cann. They will face the winners of West Didsbury & Chorlton Development and Tameside United who will meet at Ewen Fields on Sunday 10th February.

Good to hear from you, Brad. Where have you been hiding?
You are right about "Ya gotta work hard to make it and just as hard to keep it." That is one reason we sold these pairs in the spring instead of splitting them and selling the cows and calves separately in the fall. It is more tax friendly to sell now, by paying only capital gains on the value of the cow vs. earned income and self-employment taxes on the value of the calf. The "taxable value" of the calf can be plugged in considerably lower in the spring.
Our objective is to cut down on cattle by a third, have less work, and not have to put cattle out in the summer-time on any land not owned or controlled by us. In other words, we probably won't be "replacing" the cattle that have been and will be sold.
I should have guessed you'd already payed (paid) a visit to the accountant - good job.
I've been hiding out covered up with work and family stuff. With my herd of kids I should almost always be reading a book or catching a ball. My Dad dumped a bunch of the farming on me this year, like farming is going to keep me in Kansas - If I had my way there'd be a bounty out on green tractors, and an 11th commandment about not tractor driving. I keep reminding myself that corn feeds steers and stalks feed cows. Its always wrong to curse a rain, but hard not to when ya get 15 inches on 2nd cuttiing alfalfa laying down.

The Crossing on Big Lake Station Connects Rural Residents with Transit; Opens Doors to Education & Jobs
July 2013 |The Crossing at Big Lake Station, a 33 unit townhome complex developed by Duffy Development, connects City of Big Lake residents to public transit, jobs, and services. Adjacent to the Northstar Commuter Rail Line, the building's proximity to transit allows tenants to easily commute to employment hubs and educational facilities. The property is managed by NorthStar Residential. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.or call (612) 223-6907 for information on rental availability.
The new the Northstar commuter rail line provided an opportunity for the City of Big Lake to attract new development and economic growth. Adopting a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) plan, the city envisioned a walkable community that integrates retail, housing, and transit. Tapping into the TOD vision, Duffy Development received city support to launch a multi-phase development plan, transforming 12 acres of foreclosed land into a mix of senior, affordable, and market rate rental housing.
The Crossing on Big Lake Station townhomes was completed in 2012, creating affordable homes for 33 working families.
The development includes:
29 units for families at 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
4 units for families experiencing long-term homelessness.
Underground parking designed to be energy efficient and cost effective
Trails that connect residents to a city park and the Northstar line.
The building's layout and construction materials were selected to mitigate sound from the rail line and enhance energy efficiency. The unique design also provides tenants with two underground parking stalls, which minimize the project's carbon footprint and operating costs.
The Crossings is the result of a partnership with the City of Big Lake and Greater Minnesota Housing Fund. Connexus Energy provided assistance with the building design, and the Salvation Army provides supportive services to residents.
Resident Spotlights
Lashanda, a single mother with two children, became homeless after struggling with addiction. Bouncing from one shelter to the next, Lashanda and her children struggled to find stability. When the Salvation Army suggested that she move from Minneapolis to Big Lake, she was afraid of leaving her social network behind. Since moving to the Crossing, Lashanda has built a new life. She is thriving in Big Lake's rural atmosphere with support of her neighbors.
Cathy struggled with an abusive relationship and unstable living situation for years. Being handicapped, locating affordable and accessible housing posed an additional challenge. Moving into an accessible unit at the Crossing connected her with a strong neighborhood support system and empowered her to pursue her educational goals. She is currently finishing her college degree, taking the Northstar back and forth to the Anoka Technical College each day.

Before planning to build an e-scooter app, know how these 4 e-scooter startups are ensuring the safety of riders
E Scooter App Development
According to Quartz, Eric Amis – a 20-year-old- was headed home from his hotel job in Atlanta on an e-scooter. He had just pulled out of the local metro station parking lot when a Cadillac SUV crashed into him, leaving him in a life-threatening condition. Later, he died.
Amis was one of 29 people who have died in e-scooter accidents since the first wave of the micro-mobility revolution hit the USA in 2018. Each victim died after the drivers of motor vehicles weren't able to avoid them. Many investigation reports quote the lack of regulations and safety features as the major reasons behind e-scooter accidents.
Considering the gravity of the situation, city councils are imposing some of the very harsh rules. Micro-mobility startups are also coming up with some groundbreaking technologies and app features to ensure the safety of the riders.
In this blog, we will discuss the ways micro-mobility startups like Lime, Wheels, Beam, Voi are ensuring the safety of the riders by integrating very basic yet very serviceable features in the app and upgrading the e-scooter hardware. But before that, let's first dig deep and find out the factors contributing to the e-scooter accidents.
Most common reasons behind fatalities involving e-scooters
The following are the major 3 reasons why the number of e-scooter accidents is increasing by leaps and bounds.
Lack of awareness
An e-scooter is a fairly new mode of transportation. Unlike a bicycle or conventional kick scooter, an e-scooter is powered by an electric motor. The power of this motor which controls the speed of the e-scooter is managed through a throttle. Though this looks like a simple mechanism, it proves to be challenging for first-time users. Such users riding an e-scooter directly on the busy streets put their as well as the lives of the pedestrians at risk.
Lack of regulations
The development of the e-scooter sharing business has been so unsettled and uncontrolled that these tiny e-scooters have invaded many cities before even governments could realize. Governments not regulating the use of the e-scooters are indirectly encouraging the ruthless e-scooter riding. Amid lack of regulations, there is nothing (except for accidents) that can stop e-scooter riders from riding e-scooters dangerously.
Lack of safety features in software and hardware
A startup can easily employ many available technologies to ensure the safety of the riders. But for the sake of saving a few bucks, they usually give cold shoulder to those technologies and the safety features an e-scooter app development company can actualize using those technologies.
Not only software, but startups are also not paying heed at the quality of the e-scooter hardware. Many startups accommodate only conventional e-scooters in their fleets. These conventional e-scooters do not come with the disc brake, wide wheels, well-built frame, and even the front and backlights.
So, now when you know the reasons why the number of e-scooter accidents is increasing, let's discuss how top micro-mobility startups are locking horns with this major challenge.
How top micro-mobility startups are ensuring the safety of riders?
The following are the top 4 micro-mobility startups that are offering the safest e-scooter rides by just adding a few additional features in the app and upgrading the hardware.
Wheels is the USA-based micro-mobility startup which is doing pretty well even in the intensified micro-mobility market of the USA. Wheels goes an extra mile to ensure the safety of riders. It offers a very unique e-scooter hardware which is very easy to handle, thanks to fat wheels and a lower center of gravity.
Moreover, Wheels has developed a one of a kind solution to not leave a single reason for riders to not wear a helmet. Their helmet locks into the rear fencer of the bike and riders are required to unlock it for free before hopping on the bike. If a rider uses the helmet, sensors detect it and Wheels offers him the 20% discount.
To know more about Wheels, you can read our dedicated blog.
Lime, which is one of the largest e-scooter sharing companies, has also invented something very useful. And they had to, at least when its devices were involved in more e-scooter deaths – 11 of 29!
Lime's sidewalk detection technology relies on the group of sensors. These sensors measure the intensity of the vibration of the e-scooters. If an e-scooter rider rides an e-scooter on the sidewalk which consists of evenly-spaced grooves, the e-scooter vibrates too much. And the sensors fitted on e-scooter predict (with proven 95% confidence) whether a rider is riding an e-scooter on the sidewalk or somewhere else.
Stockholm-based micro-mobility startup Voi has launched an online 'traffic school' after they recorded their first fatality in May 2019. The online 'traffic school' lets users take quizzes on subjects like parking, traffic rules, and general e-scooter knowledge. In exchange, Voi offers riders 'ride credits'.
We, Coruscate, add such features into the e-scooter app without charging any extra.
To know more about Voi, you can read our dedicated blog.
Beam which runs its e-scooter sharing business in many cities including Auckland has recently launched Beam Safety Academy. It is a program designed to teach first-time users safer e-scooter use.
Beam has also launched its next-generation e-scooter, Beam Saturn. Beam claims this to be the safest shared scooter in the country.

How many Oscar Voters Picked '12 Years A Slave' Without Watching It?
By Dan Walker on March 13, 2014
Check out this article. I'm glad somebody else said it: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/05/oscar-voters-12-years-a-slave_n_4904132.html
I'm not sure the article should have been written based on the opinion and choices of TWO Academy voters but I agree wholeheartedly with their reasoning for not watching the film. I think the point is valid, although it's obviously flawed to vote without seeing all the nominees AND for voting for a movie they didn't see. It was easily the least enjoyable, most agonizing, most predictable, and most obligatory 2013 movie I watched. I was relieved when it was over, I knew I'd never watch it again, and I didn't recommend it to anyone because I want to keep the few friends I have. It had the most "Best Picture" pedigree of the nominees. "Gravity" was probably the best overall movie made last year in terms of viewing satisfaction (amazing visuals and sound, emotionally engaging and powerful), but it would be hard to justify giving the Best Picture Oscar to a movie that was primarily special effects and the performance of one actor. Besides, everyone involved with the movie has to be happy with its seven well-deserved Oscars (Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and Visual Effects).
While I'm on the subject of the Academy Awards (and without giving a full assessment of them):
All four acting Oscars went to the people who simply had the best roles, although I didn't watch Streep and Roberts in "August: Osage County." (It seemed too chick flicky and it didn't get a Best Picture nomination, which really works against a movie now that as many as ten can get nominated.)
For instance, Best Actor really came down to Chiwetel Ejiofor and Matthew McConaughey (left, with Jared Leto) and the latter had the edge in three ways:
1) As well done as it was, and I don't mean to trivialize slavery or Northrop's story, "12 Years a Slave" didn't offer us anything new and "Dallas Buyers Club" did.
2) Ejiofor's character Solomon Northrop mostly reacted to or was victimized by things going on around him. McConaughey's Ron Woodruff's actions drove "Dallas Buyers Club."
3) McConaughey's role allowed him a dramatic weight loss, which added shock value to his performance the way Adrien Brody's did in "The Pianist" and DeNiro's weight gain did in "Raging Bull." (I also think Brody's believable piano fingering helped the same way it helped Geoffrey Rush win for "Shine" over Billy Bob Thornton's indelible performance in "Sling Blade".)
That Woodruff's opinion of "faggots" changed in the process of making himself knowledgeable about his HIV status for his own survival (thus broadening his perspective) should not be lost on anyone as an underlying message of the film. It shouldn't take the specter of death for people to come to a similar understanding.
Even Bruce Dern's role and nuanced portrayal in Alexander Payne's "Nebraska" (right) showed more dimension and something new compared to Ejiofor's portrayal, which really didn't give him much range to work with.
Apply that thinking to the other categories and you'll see what I mean. In another example, I think Michael Fassbender might have even been better than Jared Leto (great in both David Fincher's "Fight Club" and Darren Aronofsky's "Requiem for a Dream") as the transsexual AIDS patient (when was the last time you saw THAT portrayed in a Best Picture nominee?) in "Dallas Buyers Club." Conversely, I don't think Leto would have been good as Fassbender as the brutal slave owner in "12 Years." All that's obviously speculation but you get the point.
Cate Blanchett's role and performance in "Blue Jasmine" were both so great that calling that Oscar in my review of the movie was easy. The performance was so strong, the movie's summer release date didn't hurt her Oscars chances at all. I'm glad Sally Hawkins (great in her Oscar-nominated role in "Happy Go Lucky") got a Best Supporting nomination.
http://pennsquarepost.com/blue-jasmine-written-and-directed-by-woody-allen/
June Squibb, who I'd never heard of before (although she was in Payne's "About Schmidt"), contributed proportionately more to "Nebraska" than the other Supporting Actress nominees added to their respective films, but that's because everything about the movie was so minimalist. She injected the movie with a welcome energy every time she spoke. If she had been worked like a plow horse, beaten with a whip, had her eye gouged, and given an emotional soliloquy to deliver, that Oscar might have been hers.
"The Wolf of Wall Street" is extremely well made in every way and difficult to fault technically but it was so derivative — think Scorsese's own "Goodfellas" and "Casino", Oliver Stone's "Wall Street", and a little bit of Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" (DiCaprio again playing a guy in New York City who acquires obscene wealth by dubious means) — and its characters are so unlikable, I found the viewing experience ultimately unsatisfying. As with DiCaprio's performance in "The Great Gatsby" (and almost all his performances), his youthfulness works against him in this movie. A more mature presence in the role would have made a difference.
Emma Thompson ("Saving Mr. Banks", left) should have replaced Amy Adams ("American Hustle") as a Best Actress nominee. Hers was a better role and more engaging performance than Adams'. Thompson has won Oscars for both writing (adapted screenplay for "Sense and Sensibility") and acting (Best Actress for "Howard's End") and is one of the few people in any field I like to watch being interviewed. She always comes across as intelligent, personable, and witty.
Speaking of which, Matthew McConaughey has proved himself to be a good actor but, based on his Oscar acceptance speech, I never want to listen to him speak off the cuff again.
Scarlett Johansson gave two great performances but she wasn't given enough to do in Joseph Gordon Levitt's directorial debut, "Don Jon" (and it really wasn't an Oscar-type movie), and her performance in Spike Jonze's "Her" (for which he won the Original Screenplay Oscar) was voice-only. In "Her", I was distracted by the way both Johannson and Joaquin Phoenix didn't enunciate their words clearly. I don't consider myself a stickler for diction and they certainly sounded natural but it still bothered me. Pay attention to the way they speak when you watch the movie.
As much as I wanted to like David O' Russell's "American Hustle", watching it was like chewing aluminum foil. I even watched it twice to make sure I didn't miss something. Except that it lacked Mark Wahlberg and Oscar winner Melissa Leo, "American Hustle" basically mashed all the main actors from Russell's two previous (and very good) movies "The Fighter" and "Silver Linings Playbook" together in one movie. The actors couldn't have done much more with what they were given, but the emphasis on characters, a lot of talking, and hair dos wasn't enough to make up for the story itself. It's another movie that gives a nod to "Goodfellas" with, among other elements, its multi-character narration and its shooting and editing style (quick zoom and cut, quick zoom and cut), which conveys a sense of urgency. Also, and I know this is just me but, if you title a movie "American Hustle" or (Ridley Scott's) "American Gangster", you'd better make the definitive film of that genre, which neither of those films are. The movie should have instead been called "New Jersey Hustle." It probably would have sold more tickets with that title, given the public's recent fascination with a state that used to be a punch line for New Yorkers. I guess it still is. Something else that bothered me was when Bradley Cooper's character kept referring to places being IN Long Island. Places are not IN Long Island, they are ON Long Island.
Watch Alexander Payne's "Nebraska" when you get a chance. It's my favorite movie from 2013 in terms of how easy it is to watch and I know I'll watch it repeatedly going forward. I like it so much I was inspired to watch Payne's"About Schmidt", which I hadn't seen since it came out in the theatres in 2002. "Nebraska" is about as less-is-more as you can get as a movie watcher and it's a reminder that you don't have to peel yourself off your seat after you watch a movie for it to be impactful. I watched it a third time just to shake "12 Years" out of my head.
I always go through these love/hate opinions of the Oscars and will continue to do so every year.
I watched all the Best Picture nominees for 2013 except for "Captain Phillips." Tom Hanks is not a draw for me and the story, like "12 Years", was an unappealing and stress-inducing one. Having the real-life crew come out against the film by saying the whole incident could have been avoided if the captain simply sailed farther away from shore also contributed to my aversion. Besides, the South Park episode "Fatbeard" effectively explained the Somali pirates weren't evil and it was the only way they knew of to feed their families. Here's the episode: http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s13e07-fatbeard
I know comparing movies is very subjective, but I think 2012 was a much better year for quality, enjoyable movies.
As much as I like "Gravity", part of me thinks of it as someone taking the most jarring moment of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and stretching it out into a movie.

Is Your Car's Starter Stopping?
Why is My Car So Noisy?
Let's face it, learning to drive is quite a process. Some of us were started young in an old beater truck driving around the property while others of us started much later in life. Either is fine, but it probably took some time, and a good teacher, to learn. For some of us, that great teacher may have been our father.
Filling up a gas tank isn't actually that hard, but the first time can be kind of scary. There are so many things that can go wrong: What if I press diesel instead of regular fuel? How do I know when the tank is full (Who knew that it just stopped automatically?)? What if I accidentally drive away with the nozzle still in my car? There are many questions that pop up during your first time filling up that were probably easily answered by someone who's done it before.
Flat tires always seem to come at the worst of times (Is there ever really a good time to have a flat tire?). While it is an inconvenience, it's not the most horrible thing that can happen because we've learned how to change a flat from a pro.
Having an oil change is important to keep your car running properly. While some of us leave it to the pros (which we recommend), others of us make it a DIY. If you do it yourself, you probably had someone teach you how to do it at some point.
We all know that horrible feeling of turning the key and nothing happening. That's exactly why someone once taught us how to jump a car (and then maybe gave us some jumper cables to stick in our car).
In honor of Father's Day, we'd like to take the time to thank the dads and everyone else out there who taught us these car basics. Even though you may know how to do some of these things thanks to these great teachers, you may not want to do them or feel comfortable doing them. If that's the case, give us a call.

At What Age Can a Child Express Their Living Preference?
In a California child custody case, how old does a child have to be to express a preference as to where they want to live?
There are two age groups that come into the analysis: 1) Under the age of 14 but is at a sufficient age to reason as to form an intelligent preference as to custody or visitation, and 2) 14 or older and the child wishes to address the Court. In the former group, the Court must consider and give due weight to the child's preference. In the latter group, the Court MUST permit the child to address the Court UNLESS the Court determines that by doing so would not be in the child's best interest.
To keep the Court's accountable, if the Court does not allow the child to testify, it must state it's reason on the record. (FC 3042(a)) If the Court precludes the child from testifying, it may provide an alternative so that the Court can obtain the preference (such as Minor's Counsel, Custody evaluation or Family Court Services) Do you have a child who is thriving in your home and has expressed a preference to spend more time with you, contact experienced Covina child custody attorney Paul Eads today.

IN AUGUST, 1921, an article by Johnny O'Connor ran in the Dramatic Mirror celebrating drag star Julian Eltinge's return to the stage as a headliner. O'Connor wrote: "For years he has stood out in the vaudeville 'Who's Who' as the peer of female impersonators principally because of his stunning appearance in feminine clothes and secondly because of his ability, his voice, and all the other essentials that make up the perfect man-woman." The latter phrase is an apt description of the art that Julian Eltinge created, for he embodied both sexes so fully and convincingly that it was difficult to point to where one ended and the other began.
Marriage photo from Julian eltinge Magazine and Beauty Hints, New York, 1913, 36. AH Woiods, publisher.
Despite the high praise that he garnered and his place as a giant in the history of drag, Julian Eltinge is not well known anymore. At his height, he was one of the most famous and popular actors in America, performing to sellout crowds from Boston to Los Angeles.
Praised as hypermasculine off-stage and delicately feminine on, his two sides seemed to negate each other sexually, and he displayed an ethereal asexuality. Women—his most loyal following—appreciated the extreme control of his performance at a time of increasing hostility toward performances involving sexuality and gender.
Eltinge existed in a liminal zone between familiar roles, defying definition and categorization. Consequently, it is difficult to place him as a performer. What exactly was Julian Eltinge as a phenomenon? I contend that he was much more than an early "drag star" and was instead a gender-bending magician keen on dazzling an audience with a complex illusion that was oddly devoid of sexual undertones. Julian Eltinge's drag was so good that he rendered the questions of gender almost irrelevant. The magic of this transformation was the essence of the show.
His early career provides some clues to the development of his taste for dragging that would make him famous. The seeds of the Eltinge magic act were sown early on. He was born in Newtonville, Massachusetts, as William Julian Dalton on May 14, 1881. The son of a mining executive, Dalton was moved around the West as a child, spending his formative years in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Montana. Eltinge liked to claim that his first taste of drag came with performances in Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Club productions; but those stories seem to be hyperbole at best, as he never in fact attended Harvard. His first major foray into theatre came in February, 1900, when he appeared in Boston at the Tremont Theatre in Malady and the Musketeer and then with Robert Barnet in Miss Simplicity. Following these successes, he changed his name to Julian Eltinge after a childhood friend in Montana.
Julian Eltinge in The Fascinating Widow, cover of New York Clipper magazine, 1913.
In 1904, producer E. E. Rice brought Julian to New York City to perform in Mr. Wix of Wickham. His star quickly rose with his vaudeville success and gave Eltinge the chance to play many cross-dressing roles, including performances in blackface, as a Spanish dancer, and as blushing brides. Indeed, his experience with multiple transformation-style roles bolsters the case for his pedigree as an illusionist more than as a drag star. True fame hit in 1911 when Eltinge was able to put his vaudeville experience to use in an early motion picture, The Fascinating Widow, where he established the "accidental drag" that would become his forte. It was the rough sketch developed in The Fascinating Widow that would stay with Eltinge throughout his movie career in performances of Crinoline Girl (1914), Cousin Lucy (1915), and The Elusive Lady (1920). In each case, the Eltinge character would be forced to dress as a woman in order to pull off some ruse or reverse a terrible mistake. Off-stage, however, he took great pains to insist that drag was a dreary obligation that was forced upon him by necessity. His PR people insisted that he was most definitely a man, forced to make a living with cross-dressing performances. Be that as it may, in those moments when he was a woman, his authenticity was said to be astonishing.
Eltinge's drag, it should be noted, was very different from the 19th-century "dame" performers, such as Dan Leno, who excelled at creating a character that was in full possession of his masculinity. Illusion was not the goal, as the cross-dressing dame did not assume a woman's behavior; indeed, the Dame's hardly veiled masculinity was a major part of the fun. The dame was overtly sexual, and it was always clear that the performer was aware that he was a man in women's clothes. The dame was an object of ridicule in a way that Eltinge was not. By the same token, the "glamour drag" that we see today with its exaggerated makeup, pearls, and pumps is a far cry from Eltinge's controlled and respectable women.
But if an audience was tempted to cast moral aspersions on Eltinge, it seems the performer may have been able to rest on the publicly assumed notion that drag and gender switching were more akin to magic than to sexual deviance. Cultural historian Peter Farrer (1996) points to turn-of-the-century literature, such as Mayfair (1907), An Exchange of Souls (1911), and A Change of Sex (1911), as examples of books that employed hypnotic and magical powers to effect a change of gender. These writings illustrated soul changes such that male souls were magically, for a time, trapped in female bodies. By eliminating any hint of eroticism and creating a sense of the spiritual, the performance of this change could be appreciated in a way that was not seen as terribly nefarious. Indeed, culpability for the change could be left to spiritual forces and the performer could be excused for his or her little problem. Still, this spiritualized possession may have been seen as dangerous in its lack of a controlling mechanism. If an audience saw gender change as spiritual possession, in Eltinge's case at least they were apparently not too ill at ease. On the one hand he was able to undergo a magical transformation or possession, but off-stage he was presented as being in full control of his masculinity.
It was through his insistence on precision and science that Eltinge bridged this delicate gap. By all accounts, Eltinge worked hard to understand the physiology and psychology of gender transformation, devoting himself to extensive research on the female form and psyche. In 1913, he wrote an article for The Theatre Magazine, "How I Portray a Woman on the Stage," that outlined the steps he took to accomplish this feat: "The hands are of greatest importance in my impersonation, for they must be made to look quite feminine. … The size of the hands can apparently be decreased by the way in which they are held. … The first rule is never to allow the breadth across the back of the hands to be seen so that the narrowest portion, for instance, the thumb and forefinger or the little finger, will show."
Accounts of his careful performance back up this idea of magical sex change. There was an incredible truth in illusion that Julian Eltinge perfected. "'I'll never forget the first time I saw him,' recalled a vaudeville prop man of an Eltinge performance: 'I couldn't believe it was a man. He was the most beautiful woman I ever saw on Keith's stage and that includes Lilian Russell and Ethel Barrymore and all the rest'" (Hamilton, 1993). By this and other accounts, it seems that audiences, especially female audiences, were willing to enjoy the theatrics of the show without extensive questioning of the performer's morality.
To complete the illusion, Julian Eltinge had to go to great lengths to develop an off-stage persona that would counter his on-stage alter ego. To accomplish this, he launched a career-long attack on his would-be detractors, proclaiming his masculinity to the media before they had the opportunity to color him an effete. Consider the splashy datelines from newspapers of the era: "Eltinge Hurt in Collision"; "Julian Eltinge Whips A Critic in Pittsburg"; "Eltinge Wins Battle at Sea: But Swordfish Causes Injuries to Impersonator" (Harvard Theatre Collection). The fish battle was elaborated with the following commentary: "[The 190-pound] marlin got in several rapier-like thrusts which caused the famed female impersonator to undergo an intestinal operation." The articles about Eltinge in general were so laced with masculine rhetoric as to read like propaganda coming from the great illusionist himself, as indeed it was. Reports abound that Eltinge visited and befriended columnists from local newspapers in the towns and cities that he visited, ensuring that his manly exploits would be covered positively in the papers. An account of Eltinge in an bar fight was as common as a review of one of his performances. One publication proclaimed, "Julian Eltinge Isn't Effeminate When He Gets His Corsets Off," and went on to report: "This is Julian D. Eltinge, a handsome, healthy young man, filled with the joy of life, bubbling over with spirits, a strong young athlete who covered right garden for the Harvard baseball team" (Hamilton, 1993).
Julian Eltinge's manipulation of the press is nicely captured in an interview with Variety in which he denied beating up a man in San Francisco who called him a "sissie." The magazine quoted him as saying, "I didn't thrash a man. What would be the use? If I tried to thrash every one who made remarks I would have a perpetually sprained wrist and bruised knuckles" (Variety, 1/6/08). News of Eltinge's exploits hit the wires, gossip columnists chattered—and then the impersonator denied the whole thing. It was a move that kept him firmly situated in a sexual no man's land, a place where he could negate his gender bending in a way and firmly appeal to his largely middle-aged female audience by being manly as well as a gentleman.
It is precisely the delicate physical placement of Julian Eltinge, both in writing and in iconography, that may have cemented his popularity and heightened his magic. An unidentified clipping from the Harvard Theatre Collection presents a cartoon of Eltinge preparing for the stage. It shows his dresser Shima, himself a sort of star for being the man who transformed Eltinge, helping the cross-dresser with his corset. Shima is shown small in contrast to the heavy-set Eltinge, emphasizing the impersonator's masculinity and the difficulty of the transformation. Every indication in the drawing suggests that the process of squeezing into the corset is one that is taxing and unpleasant. He huffs and puffs as his little assistant grapples with his girth. The caption underscores this point: "The little Japanese chief's duty is to pull the corset strings until the 38-inch Eltinge waist comes down to feminine requirements. The reason Shima carries the butcher knife is that sometimes the strain under which Eltinge labors while masquerading as a woman in corsets becomes too great and it is necessary to get out of his 'harness' before he faints."
The presence of Shima is important in further establishing Eltinge's distance from the character he created. With this cartoon the magician lets his audience in on his secrets. Here, he was able to show that this was not a case of possession but rather a precise and complicated art. He could also demonstrate that he didn't like cross-dressing, and endured the transformation with grim resignation. Here is Shima, virtually forcing Eltinge to carry out his deception, further diminishing his culpability. Rather than being a servant to a female alter ego, Eltinge is a servant of his paying audience. But just in case there is any concern, a butcher knife becomes an apt addition to the selling of the performer's masculinity. It provides emergency relief if the femininity overtakes the performer. Thus all drastic eventualities or misconceptions have been considered.
The selling of Julian Eltinge allowed him to be more than one person. If he were truly a performer of magic, as I believe he was, he had to walk a precarious line. The distinction between the man and his female alter ego needed to be a sharp one to counteract hostility toward effeminacy. More importantly, the split between his two selves was in fact the cornerstone of his magic act. The more manly he was in "reality," the greater the transformation and thus the greater the performance.
And it appears that his performances were great. His impersonations were in fact so convincing that audiences might have forgotten for a time that they were watching a biological male. When he was forced to perform out of drag later in his career due to local restrictions, he was a disappointment. At the very least, he became a man inextricably linked to the women he played. An image in his self-published magazine succinctly shows this. The "male" Julian looks off in the distance while the "female" Julian gazes down at the viewer. The two of them, for a time, found a middle space between two separate light sources and successfully hid in each other's shadow.

Carbon Trust Contest looks to improve wind resource models
The Carbon Trust's Offshore Wind Accelerator (OWA) has launched an international competition focused on improving offshore wind resource models.
The competition will enable modelers to access six validation cases from operational offshore wind farms in the North Sea, owned by OWA's industry partners, to improve and strengthen their wake models.
According to the Carbon Trust, this open source, collaborative methodology will help progress the industry and allow more accurate energy yield predictions.
Different validation datasets are expected to span a range of wind conditions related to wind farm topology and wind climate characteristics, which will be used to strength-test wind resource predictions by comparing predictions to real-world examples.
It is anticipated the work will provide a universally agreed methodology for validating wake models.
"The continued improvement in wake modelling for the offshore wind industry has been a key theme under the OWA programme, and the value of assessing modelling against actual operational data is one of the most valuable exercises we can do as a group to support the offshore wind industry," said Liam Leahy, offshore wind manager at the Carbon Trust and OWA program manager for wakes and wind resource technical working group.
"Bringing together competition participants to allow them to assess their wake models will only improve the process in predicting energy estimates from offshore wind farms."
OWA partners including the Scottish Government, EnBW, E.ON, Iberdrola, Innogy, Ørsted, Shell, SSE, Equinor and Vattenfall are funding the CENER-led competition.
The competition will run through several rounds through to December.

This weekend and into next week, I am taking a road trip through New England to see a lot of states that I've never been to. I'm very excited because this trip is going to bring me into the 40s on my list of states that I've been to. And also because I am going to see a lot of cool things.
The following is my hitlist, but if anyone has any cool things that they think I should see while I'm tooling around New England with my mum, especially if they look like on our way, shout it out in the comments. If you're all like "New Hampshire" something on the way to Kennebunkport, that'd be awesome. Otherwise it's going to be and the Wikipedia on Google Maps situation.


The easiest way to simplify your tax payments and get back to enjoying retirement is to use the IRS' online withholding calculator, which incorporates the new tax law rule changes. Like employees who receive wages, retirees can use this tool to estimate their total income, deductions, and tax credits for 2018.
Retirees should treat their pension or annuity checks like income from a job by entering the payment amounts and how often they receive them. Based on this information, the calculator recommends the number of allowances each recipient should claim. You can change your withholding at any time by contacting your payer and submitting a new W-4P form.
Make sure to factor Social Security into your expected retirement income, Baker says. New retirees with mixed sources of income that differ from last year may need additional help from a CPA or tax adviser.
With limited time left in 2018, some retirees may not be able to cover their expected tax liability through withholding alone, and will need to make an estimated or additional payment to the IRS. If you missed the third quarter deadline, you can still catch up and make payments by the fourth quarter if your withholding won't cover your tax liability, Walker says.
"Even if you've already looked at your withholding one time, it's a good idea to check again to make sure you don't get penalized and are paying the right amount," Walker says.
