OKAY, HERE ARE THE OPENING PAGES.
Damn, he knew he could die any minute. A blurred object mere inches in front of his eyes materialized, as a flash of light reflected from the cold steel. Focusing on the razored edge of the curved knife ascending into a sharp tip designed to kill, he stopped breathing. His body stiffened, and froze solid where he sat with his back against a hard cold wall. He felt scared any movement might further agitate his attacker. The pain radiating from the back of his battered head dulled his vision and his thoughts. A wire tying his hands together cut into his skin, increasing the unbearable terror ravaging his body.
He inhaled the smell of blood and sweat as he gazed into the darkness, hoping to gain his bearings. Again a fist smashed into his forehead, slamming the back of his head into the wall behind him as the world faded. He fought his way back to life, only to stare into the slicing blade carving the side of his face.
"DAMNNNNN!" His voice erupted and echoed off nearby walls and in his head. The pain shattered the remaining will to remain still. He struck out with his head, his arms, and his legs. In return the hand slammed his head back against the wall again.
Another slice sheared off an ear.
The knife retreated as a face leaned forward, one he recognized only so slightly.
Another punch to the face bounced his head off the concrete wall. Thoughts of his life rushed forward to fill in the fading minutes. Would his life end like this? His family, his agency, his friends, his clients—what would happen to them? His world collapsed as the remaining blood drained from his body.
We all get them. Some are personal and some are professional. While some hurt, others can be helpful, as in helpful criticism, in knowing what to change. Knowing which kind of rejection one is receiving can also be critical in knowing how to accept it. The person giving it can also affect the way it is perceived. A rejection form a close personal friend can be much different than from a total stranger.
And, of course, everyone reacts differently to a rejection. The feelings of depression in one might be the same as revenge in another person. One person can become very vocal and another sulk and never let anyone else know how they were hurt.
It is much different when someone rejects you as a person than when they reject something you recommended, which could be based simply on a business decision. The rejection could be everything to do with you, or it could be nothing to do with you and simply could be the idea itself did not convince someone else that it was right for them.
For those with bipolar disorder, you might see one reaction at one time and a totally different response at another time. Yes, bipolar has many ranges. A mild case would be much different from a severe one.
They say time is the big healer. In regards to rejections, it is absolutely true. In fact, at a later date, it is sometimes comical when you look back at the events.
Since I am a writer and many of my friends are writers, we tend to concentrate on rejection letters. Many people keep them in stacks to remind them of what they had to go through—as if some kind of martyr syndrome. Still, it is good to get them out and have a good laugh form time to time.
I remember waiting on the response to a submission to one publisher for a very long time. Finally I sent a follow up. My submission had been lost. Several months later, I did get a response on the follow up—my manuscript had been forwarded to another editor—problem solved—no. The rejection stated that they did not feel like my work was appropriate for their line. Do what? I wrote a very hot love story which was exactly what they publish. Then I saw the line which the editor worked for at the publishing house—the inspirational one. Yes, I guess it didn't fit, but she is not the one I sent it to either.
It is also important to consider what the person giving the rejection is going through. If that person gives rejections all of the time they would act different from someone who seldom does it.
In my novel the rejection letter, the story is meant to entertain and is not based on any specific story of a rejection letter I received. I have many friends who are literary agents which I highly respect. Still, I know they will never handle such a story as a serial killer who stalks literary agents. My novel, THW REJECTION LETTER, however, explores the world of the literary agent, the large publishing houses, and the inner story of one young woman's fight to overcome her bipolar disorder while learning a little about life, love, and finding her own sanity in the process.
I know everyone has their own stories to tell about being rejected. I would love some feedback after you have read my novel. And, of course, reviews are always welcome. I do a number of interviews and hope to have a list of where I will be and what blogs I visit on blog tours. So, please follow this site and subscript to it.
Also, check my blog at www.sirjohn.us for more information.
To someone else, the rejection letter might be perceived as a simple piece of correspondence. But when Amy, who suffers from bipolar disorder receives a form rejection letter from Edward, an agent she had an affair with at a recent convention, she takes the rejection as both personal and professional—in short—a declaration of war.
This is available on smashwords for purchase now, please go to https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/106185 for more details.
Amy quickly embarks on a plan to get revenge by destroying Edward's literary agency. However, Amy is soon not the one to be feared the most. Her actions create a copycat, a serial killer, who targets literary agents and viciously murders them. Living with the knowledge she has created a monster, a serial killer, is one thing, while doing nothing to stop the madness is another. But how could she track down a killer when she has no training in such? Thinking like a mad man might be the only way—but could she go there and survive herself?
When the winds of fate rekindle the romance with Edward, thus making him the next target—she really has no choice but to help the FBI. But will she be too late?
THE HERITAGE HAS A NEW COVER!
I am working on final arrangements to have my next book released next week. THE REJECTION LETTER is a romantic thriller that I think many people will enjoy. I had to give everyone an advanced look at the cover. Please tell me what you think. I will have more news shortly on the book release soon. I hope everyone wants to celebrate this event with me.
I finally have my novel THE HERITAGE up on Smashword, kindle, and Barnes and Noble.
Shawn is the secret grandson of Brent Lyon, the chairman of the board of Lyon International. After Brent asks Shawn to come to his office they talk about their past and how Brent regrets his earlier decisions. Brent had disowned his daughter, Shawn's mother when she ran off with a want-to-be rock star. She had raised Shawn on her own until she died a few years earlier. Brent had invited Shawn back into his life only after her death, and only to a small degree which had to remain a secret to avoid scandals which could ruin the corporation.

Please Don't Tell Me There is No NBA Basketball!!!
Chaka Cummings
Between the 2K Tourney, the H.O.R.S.E. Competition, and the Drafts, There is a Ton Going on with NBA Basketball
Devin Booker stuntin' on fools, whether it is on the court or on the sticks.
COVID-19 is supposed to shut down everything, and frankly, it has been doing one hell of a job at just that. NBA Basketball is like Freddy Krueger in your worst nightmare, though. The league just won't go away! Between Steph Curry owning social media and Adam Silver coordinating some league sanctioned events, basketball is far from out of the public consciousness, let alone truly shut down.
NBA 2K Tournament: Devin Booker is the Champion we Need, Not the One we Deserve!
The smart play by sports leagues has been to invest in E-Sports. That's not just a thing that has sprouted from the 'Rona. Leagues have invested in gaming for decades. Belly Up has been all over gaming for as long as I can remember.
In this time of quarantine, the NBA jumped on board with an NBA 2K tournament, featuring star players like Kevin Durant and Trae Young.
We've learned a few things from this tournament:
Harrison Barnes sucks at 2K. Trae Young beat him in the first round 101- 59. Seriously, if you're over 25 and you aren't staying up on video games then don't play in this. Trae Young snatched Barnes' soul like Shang Tsung. (Harrison Barnes probably gets this reference, which is how I know he is too old for this damn tournament.)
Kevin Durant really can't win a championship without Steph, Klay, and Draymond. KD went out in the first round of this tournament, losing to Airplane Mode, Derrick Jones Jr., 78-62. This wasn't even a dunk contest, KD! There is no excuse, considering you were the one seed. KD disappointing in the playoffs as if he was back in Oklahoma City.
Devin Booker took the crown, beating Montrezl Harrell in the final. That should be no surprise, as Kentucky Wildcats basketball alumni are used to beating Louisville Cardinals basketball alumni this time of year.
The NBA has us Head Over Heels for H.O.R.S.E.
Tamika Catchings is an NCAA, WNBA, and Olympic champion. She is a former MVP and was just named to the Hall of Fame. I wonder where participating in this H.O.R.S.E. competition ranks in her career accomplishments?
The next event to cure our basketball Jones is the NBA H.O.R.S.E. competition.
What, you aren't familiar with H.O.R.S.E.? What the hell kind of childhood did you have?
H.O.R.S.E. is the ultimate trick-shot game of "anything you can do I can do better!" Your competition takes a shot and you must recreate it. If you can, you get control of the game. If you can't you get a letter added to your score. The first person to score H.O.R.S.E. loses.
Here is the H.O.R.S.E. bracket:
Trae Young and Zach Levine are obviously trying to fill their time as they are going right from the 2K tournament to the H.O.R.S.E. competition
If you need some action, Las Vegas has odds for the tournament. Trae Young and Chris Paul are co-favorites to win while the newly minted Hall of Famer Tamika Catchings is the longest shot at +1200 to win. Of course, if you can't socially distance yourself from an online casino during the quarantine, that might be a sign you have a problem- or some inside information (in which case, slide into my Twitter DMs).
The WNBA Draft is Basically Going to Happen Like Franchise Mode on Your Favorite Video Game
Our friends in the WNBA are jumping head first into the 21st century with a virtual draft. The draft is scheduled for Friday, April 17.
While there are still some questions as to whether games will be played this summer, the league will have the annual event, welcoming a new crop of fresh players into the best women's basketball league on the planet.
Besides, the New York Liberty has the first pick and they can socially distance and still pick Sabrina Ionescu. Heck, they won't even have to spell her name right if the draft is done via Zoom!
No One Really Knows When the NBA Draft Will Happen
COVID wont take away the Draft. Even quarantined, the Spurs are still gonna hit on some European kid you never heard of in the second round.
One thing we learned this week is that the NBA isn't sure when they will do their draft.
The NBA Draft postponed?
Currently scheduled for June 25th, teams have been expressing concerns of limited access to players given CDC guidance. The NCAA's June 3rd deadline to declare for the Draft seems to be forcing the issue.
Something's gotta give…https://t.co/h2hTmOskFf
— Dan Lust, Esq.🎙 (@SportsLawLust) March 20, 2020
The uncertainty hasn't stopped top players from declaring for the Draft, though. Vernon Carey, LaMelo Ball, James Wiseman, Anthony Edwards, and Tyrese Maxey are all players that were among the top high school senior prospects a year ago. All have declared for the NBA Draft in 2020.
The league is scheduled to have their draft on June 25, but with uncertainty when the league will return to play it would seem that the draft will have to be pushed, with August being mentioned as a reasonable expectation as to when the draft might be held.
If the NBA Draft goes digital, do you think guys will still rock their drip on Facetime interviews?
I'm here to ask the hard-hitting questions!

Sea turtles are in grave danger in this world. Fishing nets are scooping them up out of our oceans.
Limbs are cut off by the nylon mesh, they suffocate and they are hit by boat propellers. Humans have had an enormous impact on the endangerment of the Sea Turtle.
They are hunted for their meat, for their eggs, for their shells and for their oil. They are used for handbags, turtle soup medicinal purposes and in some places people simply hunt them because it is part of their culture.
In Sri Lanka, people have eaten turtle eggs for centuries.
They wait for the turtles to come to the beach by the light of the full moon. She lays her eggs for at least an hour agonizing through the process with tears running down her eyes in a deep trance.
It is then that she is at her weakest and it is easy for poachers to take her eggs right from the nest.
He loves turtles he tells us. He doesn't understand why people kill them and why they are hunted.
His father started the hatchery in 1981 with grant money by T.S.U. de Zylva a doctor in the area, and he has since taken over collecting eggs from fishermen.
He pays a little over market value for the eggs. In essence, he's saving them from being sent to market.
When fishermen spot a turtle laying eggs on the beach, they tell Chandrasiri and he goes out to collect the eggs from the nest before dogs, cats or humans can get to them. He pays 2.50 Rs per egg and then takes them back to his hatchery.
The hatchery is located directly on the beach. In recent years several others have popped up, but they seem to be more about making money from tourists than actually doing good for the turtle.
One tuk tuk picked us up from the bus stop and offered to bring us to the hatchery for a mere 20 Rs. We went with him, and found ourselves at a place suspiciously similar in name, but charging over double the price and looking a little worse for ware.
We declined to go in and decided to walk along the beach ourselves.
We came across the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery by chance. After walking along the deserted beach while the sun slowly set, we ran into a man walking and yelled to him, "Turtles?" He beckoned us to follow him and low and behold, we were directly in front of the project.
Chandrasiri greeted us and told us about the other hatcheries. He does it for the love of the turtles, they do it for the money and give touts 50% of the profit for leading tourists astray.
We paid our 200 Rs admission and were taken on the tour.
Chandrisiri has sent 1,500,000 turtles into the ocean over the years. He waits for the sun to set and under the cloak of darkness, releases the babies back in to the ocean.
The turtle hatchery has 8 tanks. 9 for new hatchlings ranging from 1 to 3 days old. They only stay in the tank for three days from birth before they are released.
The other tanks house turtles that are brought to the tank for rehabilitation. 3 turtles had lost fins due to fisherman's nets and boat propellers. With only one fin missing, they can be rehabilitated and released back into the ocean soon.
There is one sad turtle however that lost 2 front fins in the Tsunami and will spend the rest of his days in the tank. Dave and I wondered if any favours were done for this poor creature by saving it without fins and forcing it to spend its long life in captivity.
There is another blind turtle in one of the tanks as well. He was born there in the hatchery and for some reason, instead of letting natural selection take its course, they have doomed him also to a miserable life.
However, I do think that Chandasiri has the best of intentions. I don' think that he looks at is dooming them, he sees it as saving them. After the tsunami, blindness and deformities have become more common. Maybe they are keeping him for research.
Chande has a deep connection with the turtles, he lost his prized albino turtle in the Tsunami and was heartbroken. He talks of how he could call it and it would come to him.
He has since replaced it with another albino and when we asked if it too could be let back into the ocean like the other 3 turtles that they are rehabilitating, he said no. It is rare and would be killed. So instead, it is stuck in a tank for the rest of his life.
While I think that it is wonderful to rehabilitate turtles when fisherman or locals bring them into be saved, there are times when euthanization could be the more merciful choice.
But one cannot deny that the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery is doing wonderful things by raising awareness.
School children visit the hatchery and he teaches them to love turtles and to bring the message home to their parents of Not to eat turtle eggs. If he can change the beliefs of children, he can maybe change the fate of the future of the sea turtle.
Numbers of nesting grounds are increasing in the area and people are more likely to sell the eggs to the hatcheries since they make more money and people are slowly learning about conservation.
There is great debate as to whether turtle hatcheries make a difference, but to these little guys that are at least given a fighting chance, I think that they would beg to differ.
To learn more about the debate on turtle hatcheries and their impact read this article Turtle Hatcheries in Sri Lanka: Boon or Bane?
The Kosgoda Turtle hatchery can be reached by taking any bus north towards Colombo. Get off at KM marker 73 and find the sign that states, Turtle Research Facility and walk towards the beach.
Don't let a Tuk Tuk driver offer to take you for the ridiculously low price of 20 Rs. He will take you to a place that does not have the turtles best interest at heart.
Cost to enter the turtles hatchery is 200 Rs per person.
A donation box is set up and shop with reasonable prices is on site to help support the project.

We are very serious about preservation here on Sanibel Island. CROW is a great organization that just put together a turtle rescue mission about a couple months ago for the eggs affected by the oil spill. Keep up the good work!

I agree with Shannon – it's such a heartwrenching debate that it's hard to choose sides, but after giving this a lot of thought I have to say that I believe in keeping them alive in the tanks because if the children there can see them and learn compassion for the turtles from them, then their existence – as miserable as it may seem – does some real good for the rest of the turtles.
Thanks for sharing this great story!
.-= Trisha Miller´s last blog ..New York Video School Giveaway Winner =-.
That albino turtle is just stunningly pretty – how amazing would it be to do a dive and see that guy swimming by! It's such a shame that it's going to spend all of its days in a tank, but really, it's also a pretty controversial decision to euthanize them instead…not sure which side of the debate I fall on…all in all though the hatchery sounds like it's really acting as Sherry said, with the best intentions.
.-= Shannon OD´s last blog ..A Little Quandary…When do you Donate? =-.
Thanks for covering the disappearing sea turtles. It seems like the hatchery is doing more good than harm and it sounds as if their intentions are in the right place. It's so hard to determine who's in it for the money and who's actually trying to do the right thing – especially in undeveloped countries.
I was sick the whole time I was in Sri Lanka – I had planned to go visit the turtles, but I couldn't make it out of bed!
I don't think Anil was being racist at all. He's talking about the facilities not being enough to make life comfortable for the turtles in long-term captivity. And it's true. The Kosgoda Turtle sanctuary is doing great things, but they do need more funding and help. It is by having more people visit that they can keep up the good work. Anil's comment was actually is more diplomatic than I was. He was commenting on the fact that I was upset that the blind and disabled turtles were stuck in a small tank. They're doing what they can do for now, it's a tough decision for anyone. We all want to help the wildlife out there and everyone is simply trying their best.
It's a tough call, I suppose when it's your work to help save as many turtles as you can, it's a hard decision to make when one is disabled. I guess the facilities are not enough to make life comfortable for those in long-term captivity.

Martin Schoeller
The famous award-winning photographer was born in Munich, Germany on March 12,
1968. After starting his career as a photographer assisting Annie Leibovitz, he began to do
freelance photography. This meant that he would take extreme close-up portraits of people that
he found on the street. Doing this attracted much attention. His whole point for doing this was to
put the poor and the rich, the unknown and the famous, on the same platform. Doing this
challenges the viewers existing notions of celebrity, value, and honesty. Martin studied at Lette
Verein in Berlin. Since 1988, his images have been published in Rolling Stone, Esquire, TIME,
Entertainment Weekly, GQ, and The National Geographic. Then, in 1999 he began working for
The New Yorker as a contributing photographer alongside others. In 2000, he got married to a
graphic designer named Helen Rutman. His is best known for his portraits of celebrities and
ordinary people. His photographs are apart of the permanent collection in the National Portrait

imperfections so this is a good way to make everyone feel equal.

I like this photo because even though he is famous, Martin makes him

Why can't you log on when visiting another another educational institution?
eduroam, or Education Roaming, is a system for allowing education users visiting other educational institutions to log on to the local computer network using their username and password from their home institution. eduroam is available in Australia, most European countries and Taiwan. Dr Robert Fitzgerald from the Division's School of Education and Community Studies raised the issue of whether the University of Canberra is a participant in the scheme, but it appears no-one has asked before.
eduroam Australia is managed by AARNET, Australia's Research and Academic Network, and has a wireless focus, allowing users from participating institutions to access each others' wireless infrastructure with their home credentials. In the ACT, the Australian Catholic University, the Australian National University, CSIRO's Division of Forestry, and AARNET itself all provide eduroamers with access to their networks.
Executive should ask the University Information Management Systems Committee (UIMSC) to investigate whether the University of Canberra should join the scheme.

The Natural Bridge
By: Atlas Obscura
A sacred site for Native Americans surveyed by George Washington and owned by both King George III and Thomas Jefferson.
Often cited as having a place among the great wonders of the natural world (particularly by early visitors to the U.S.), Virginia's Natural Bridge is an enormous natural limestone arch. Carved by Cedar Creek over thousands of years, the arch was created when an ancient cavern collapsed leaving only the bridge. It is the largest natural land bridge on the North American continent. The 215-foot-long bridge was sacred to the Monocan tribe, and was revered by the American colonists. The site was surveyed in 1750 by a young George Washington, who allegedly carved his initials into the rock. Thomas Jefferson called Natural Bridge "the most sublime of nature's works" when he purchased 157 acres of land, including the bridge, from King George III of England in 1774.
Largest Natural Land Bridge
William Cullen Bryant said that Natural Bridge, along with Niagara Falls, were the two most notable features of North America. The Natural Bridge is also alluded to in Herman Melville's Moby Dick.
Perhaps the oddest parts of this natural wonder is "The Drama of Creation," a Biblically-themed evening light show that has been projected onto the bridge every night since 1920. The show is the longest continuously running light show in the US.
The Natural Bridge Caverns, the deepest caves on the east coast are less than half a mile away from the Natural Bridge. Other attractions in the area include a wax museum and a living history Monocan Indian Village. Natural Bridge became a Virginia State Park on September 24, 2016.
About (1) hour North of Roanoke Virginia and less then (15) minutes from Lexington, Va.

Live 4 Live Music Has a great review of Gregg Allman's show May 7th, 2016.
Walking into a capacity-filled, 100-year-old venue, Gregg Allman had once again come home to Macon, GA. The Cox Capitol Theatre has played host to many great shows over the decades, but this one was different.
Due to a postponement of The Laid Back Festival in Atlanta on Saturday, May 7th, Gregg came to Macon to play for some of his biggest fans in the country, so many of whom have seen Gregg play shows since The Allman Brothers Band formed in 1969 and made Macon their home. The stories being told in front of the venue as the crowd waited for the doors to open harkened back to a simple time in rock and roll and life. "I saw them for free at Central City Park one Sunday afternoon in 1970 and it changed my life," said one guest. Another mentioned seeing Duane Allman at The H&H Restaurant one day when the band was home from their relentless touring schedule.

Agriculture is a culture derived from the needs of the people who farm the land
Our definition focuses more on the holistic perspective of the culture of farming
Agriculture developed because of the needs of the people for food, and grew into a highly technological, industrialized process
Agriculture is like Disney World: it is a culture in and of itself, with many different components working together.
Agriculture is like learning to walk: it starts small and uncertain, but as it grows it becomes more highly developed and technological and continues to be perfected.

"hat is the most climate friendly way of feeding the world? Is is agriculture or aquaculture. Wild fish feed roughly 10% of the world population. Aquaculture is like breeding battery chickens.

It's structure is hierarchical, and not dissimilar to the models of iconostatsis that the Politburo inherited from the Orthodox Church to impose its stature and codify its authority. Only the chips are different - money instead of favors - but the distribution of power
among a select few, most of whom know nothing about music and plenty
about business, is no different "

Northern California Culture
a: Northern California Culture is becoming ~
b: the Culture portrayed in Ecotopia
What: This book portrays the succession of Northern California, Oregon and Washington into a single sovereign state based on sound ecological principles. Some of the key features are bicycle transportation, mag-lev trains and government of Lesbian Druids. I must say, that the book was enjoyable, but the political subtext in the novel should be abhorrent to any freethinking American. In short Callenbach is advocating lesbionic totalitarianism based on a protecting the natural world. This is not protecting other human beings, it means protecting nature itself, as if it were a citizen with rights. It doesn't say anything in the US Constitution about the natural world having Rights. If you look at the environmental movement in the past 30/40 years, that has been the driving premise. It a horrid conflation of natural based religion mixed with left wing progression politics. As this is written, there is a freakish sense of the feminine that has pervaded this area,The Bay Area, since I've lived here. Who knows how this will play out in the future.

Ranked-choice voting (RCV) means the voter votes for candidates in order of preference. If there is no clear majority winner, the lowest-ranked nominee is eliminated, and their votes assigned to those voters' next-highest=ranked candidate, until there is a clear majority winner.
This may not be great for general elections; it is easily used to oust a sitting party for momentary purposes.
But it would be great for primaries! It would not throw the baby out with the bathwater, if poles were taken more often, giving voters a chance to express their preference without committing to a sudden change in government.
Single-issue candidates, though they may not be eventual winners, would be promoted as champions of their cause, and the other candidates would see the swell of support for that cause.

J. Enoch Powell: a collation of Thucydides MS. 545
Add. MS c/150
[c 1931] (Creation)
1 vol. with 3 sheets fastened together and 3 sheets laid in loose
Powell, John Enoch (1912–1998), politician
John Enoch Powell was born in 1912, the son of Albert Enoch Powell, a schoolmaster. Powell won a scholarship to King Edward's School in Birmingham and in 1930 entered Trinity College as an Entrance Scholar. In 1933 he graduated with a first class in classics and the next year was elected a Junior Research Fellow at Trinity, and studied the Greek historians Thucydides and Herodotus. In 1938 he became Professor of Greek at the University of Sydney. After serving in WWII, Powell turned his back on an academic career and entered politics, for which he is much better known.
Trinity College Library, Cambridge
Provenance unknown.
One of 48 notebooks, Add.MS.c.113-150, used for Powell's edition of Thucydides published in 1942. With 3 sheets of notes fastened together, and 3 sheets headed 'A Portion of the history of the Arundel MS. of Thucydides, Results of enquires at Arundel Castle Aug. 7, 31.'

Maybe this happened because it is the "Trick or Treat" season.
Some of us seem to find out about the dirty little secrets of this business by speaking to consumers. Here's a classic case and it involves one person's experience at Wal-Mart.
Last Monday a fellow Reed Business Information employee (who doesn't work for TWICE) visited me first thing in the morning about his experience trying to buy a Toshiba HD DVD deck the previous day.
He saw on a blog that weekend that Wal-Mart was going to sell the HD-A2 HD DVD player for a great price. He went to a Wal-Mart in the New York metro area. He walked straight to the CE department, which to him was unimpressive, and saw what he described as "several beat-up HD DVD boxes. I took the best-looking box." On top of the display there was a sign with the Toshiba deck's model number and the price, $198.
He picked up a deck and went to the self-checkout area to pay for his deal. The readout said, "Not for sale." A Wal-Mart employee who monitors to the self-checkout area said, "Sorry, sir, this is not for sale."
Incredulous, he answered, "You have boxes there in the store and a sign with a price on it. How can it not be on sale?" He asked to speak to the manager of the CE department. Around 20 minutes later the manager arrived with the same story. Finally, he spoke to a store manager who said, "Oh, this will be available next weekend. We can give you a $10 gift card for your trouble and hold one for you until then."
He left the store infuriated that he couldn't buy a product that was clearly available and disappointed in the service, and he asked me why. The best answer I could come up with is that the store made a mistake and put the decks out too early. The day after Halloween we all found out that this Wal-Mart store manager did my colleague a big favor.
If you saw our coverage on TWICE.com last week or saw it yourselves this past Friday at Wal-Mart, the chain offered what it called "Black Friday prices" on selected CE products. That Toshiba HD DVD player was one of them, priced at $98.86.
Analysts of all stripes are predicting that overall holiday sales will be weaker this year than in 2006, and that national chains have got to pick up volume now. Wal-Mart may see blood in the water and pushed for a competitive advantage.
I guess that's just what the CE industry needs, an additional Black Friday, this one closer to Halloween than Thanksgiving.
As I said before, "Trick or Treat." In this case, "Trick and Trick" to the industry's bottom line. Or as many of you are probably saying now to Wal-Mart, "Boo!"
'Tis The Season For Holiday Greeting Cards!

Have you ever used adhesive shelf paper with your toddlers?It is the best material to have on hand.The paper is already sticky,so the young ones can easily create without the mess of glue.This easy scrap paper pumpkin collage was just one of the many collages we have made with our sticky paper and it is perfectly festive.Cut a pumpkin shape from the adhesive paper,tape to the wall,peel of the lining and let your little ones stick away.We used scrap black and orange consruction paper pieces that I prepared beforehand.Check out another easy idea like this one (a contact paper monster) over.
Easter has come and gone but got some really fun activities out of it.Contact paper with color paper,kids do the rest with offcuts,tissue paper pom poms and buttons.
Contact paper tree. HE was playing with dry erase markers on the easel this morning when she sparked a brilliant idea.I grabbed some contact paper and silk leaves and drew a tree outline in the whiteboard.She filled it all up with leaves to fill out the tree.She got some jewels and used those for the trunk.So pretty.
The silk leaves and jewels are just a few of the fun things included in the giveaway a few posts back!
The final product of three kids happily working at the window,sticking small brown paper to contact paper.
I found some simple horse cut out shapes and cut the horse out and stuck the paper to contact paper,hung it up on the window and put the small brown squares on the window ledge for easy reach.The kids stuck the brown squares and after I mod-podged the backs and hole punched spots to thread the hair through.My daughter decided to do rainbow colors instead of brown and so thought that was the greatest idea ever.


How healthy is the Internet?
Whether you open Facebook, Google or Amazon, all of the most popular websites and applications today depend on free and open source software components. Because it's unseen, we rarely think of the thousands of people who contributed code to them as volunteers.
Wikipedia.org is one of the top five websites in the world. Because its software relationships are publicly available, they can easily be mapped. Whenever you browse Wikipedia, the website (built in MediaWiki) depends on 72 different open source software projects, which 3,325 individual developers have helped work on since 2015.
These numbers are likely much lower than the open source dependencies that exist in your phone's operating system, major desktop software and apps.
It is a healthy and awe inspiring fact of the Internet that such building blocks for other software are openly available. However, it is also a risk that their developers go unnoticed and under supported in maintaining the code that millions of people depend on.
Libraries.io is an initiative to raise the quality of software by monitoring and illustrating the hidden relationships powering our everyday technology, to help provide deeper understanding of, and encourage more contributions to, free and open source software. Failing to appreciate these connections can lead to security issues or abandonment of underlying projects with wide-ranging consequences. It has happened before. The more we value and maintain the unseen infrastructure of the open Internet, the healthier it will be.

Knowledge Exchange brings together the research community with other groups and communities to exchange ideas, evidence and expertise.
The Scottish Government is funding a programme of strategic scientific research (the Strategic Research Programme, SRP) through the Rural and Environment Science and Analytical Services (RESAS).
The programme runs from April 2016 to March 2021 and builds on previous five-year funding cycles for research supported by RESAS. The programme comprises three interlinked themes: 'Natural Assets', 'Productive and Sustainable Land Management and Rural Economies', and 'Food, Health and Wellbeing'.
In addition to directly supporting more than £200 million of research over its lifetime, it is anticipated that the programme will provide a platform to attract and lever further follow-on public and private sector investment in research. The SRP will be delivered primarily through the six Main Research Providers (MRP's) in the SEFARI collective: The James Hutton Institute, Moredun Research Institute, Scotland's Rural College, The Rowett Institute, Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh is in a unique position within SEFARI in being a major visitor attraction as well as a research institute. The Garden provides a venue for public engagement with science through events run by institutes in the SEFARI collective. An annual highlight of the programme is Edinburgh International Science Festival. We also work with the Scottish universities through the Beltane Public Engagement Network, and with local Edinburgh institutions such as NMS, RZSS and RSE. The John Hope Gateway Building provides a free platform for our partners in the research and environmental communities to engage with visitors and we welcome suggestions for the public programme.

SEC Releases Top Eight Exam Priorities for 2021
On March 3, 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Examinations (formerly the Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations, now either "the Division" or "EXAMS") announced its fiscal year 2021 examination priorities.
EXAMS noted that despite logistical challenges posed by the pandemic, the Division still completed 2,952 examinations in FY 2020, which was a mere 4.4 percent decrease from FY 2019. The number of RIA firms subject to SEC oversight has increased to more than 13,900. The SEC has stated that they expect to be able to cover about 15% in FY 2021.
The SEC's 2021 priorities inevitably reflect the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as new and emerging risks concerning cybersecurity, climate change ("ESG"), and digital assets. Below, is a summary of the key takeaways from the report.
1) FinTech
With the rapid growth and economic importance of financial technologies, alternative data and digital assets, the Division is putting greater emphasis on regulating these areas. The Division will examine whether fintech firms are operating consistently with their representations, whether firms are appropriately handling customer orders, and how firms make trade recommendations in mobile applications. In examining participants in the digital assets markets, the Division will focus on several areas, including the suitability of these investments; portfolio management and trading practices; safety of client funds and assets; and pricing and valuation.
2) AML Programs
No surprise here – the Division will continue to review firms' compliance with applicable AML requirements, in particular, whether broker-dealers and registered investment companies have adequate policies and procedures in place that are reasonably designed to identify suspicious activity and illegal money-laundering activities. The Division's continued focus on AML is not surprising in light of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2020, which Congress enacted on January 1, 2021. For more information on this change, see our blog, "Six Need-to-Know Facts about the AML Act of 2020."
3) LIBOR Transition
Like last year, the Division continues to be focused on the industry's transition away from LIBOR. The Division will assess registrants' understanding of any exposure to LIBOR, their preparations for the expected discontinuation of LIBOR, and the transition to an alternative reference rate.
4) RIA Compliance Programs
The Division's limited coverage of registered investment advisers (RIAs) has always been an ongoing conversation of regulatory concern. To address that concern, this year the Division will prioritize RIAs that have not been examined in recent years or have never been examined since registering. In line with other regulators, the Division will continue to try to ensure that RIAs' compliance programs are robust and effective. The Exam Priorities note that the Division will be particularly focused on products and services marketed as sustainable, socially responsible, impact, and/or environmental, social and corporate governance ("ESG") conscious.
5) Operational Resiliency
As climate-change becomes more prevalent, the Division intends to review whether firms are considering effective practices to help improve responses to large-scale events caused by climate-change. These examinations will include review of business continuity and disaster recovery plans, and will be similar to the work the Division did after Hurricane Sandy.
6) Information Security
Cybersecurity has been a priority issue for several years, but the COVID-19 pandemic raised the stakes with the increase in remote working. Remote operations raise concerns about, among other things, data loss, remote access, use of third-party communication systems and vendor management. The Division will review whether registrants have taken appropriate measures to: safeguard customer accounts and prevent account intrusions, including verifying an investor's identity to prevent unauthorized account access; oversee vendors and service providers; address malicious email activities, such as phishing or account intrusions; respond to incidents, including those related to ransomware attacks; and generally manage operational risk as a result of remote operations.
7) Municipal Advisors
Similarly, COVID-19 has created risks for municipal advisors and their clients. The Division will continue its examinations of municipal advisors' registration, professional qualifications, and continuing education requirements. It will also focus on whether municipal advisors have met their fiduciary duty obligations to municipal entity clients.
8) Regulation Best Interest
After the flood of risk alerts and FAQs that have come out over the years, it's no surprise the Division will continue to focus on Reg BI in the coming year. Firms should expect the Division to review, among other areas, the processes firms have used to recommend complex products, make recommendations to new customers, and identify and address conflicts related to recommendations.

Obrazový úhel závisí nepřímo na ohniskové vzdálenosti. Čím větší je ohnisková vzdálenost, tím menší je obrazový úhel.

Fotografická praxe uvažuje v drtivé většině případů pouze s promítnutím obrazu na rovinu citlivého materiálu popřípadě digitálního snímače obdélníkových nebo čtvercových rozměrů. Ve skutečnosti je však obrazové pole kruhové (v principu obdobné jako u mikroskopu či dalekohledu). Celou jeho plochu však nemůžeme využít vzhledem k poklesu světelnosti směrem od středu ke krajům. Další aspekt je pak klesající rozlišení a kontrast. Rozměr snímaného pole je tak nutné umístit do tzv. užitečného obrazového pole, v němž jsou všechny tyto negativní vlastnosti zastoupeny v co nejmenším množství nebo s ohledem na cenu objektivu.
Pro plochu v obrazové rovině označenou jako obrazové pole je podstatný parametr jeho úhlopříčka d, která je shodná s průměrem užitečného obrazového pole. Paprsky procházejícími protilehlými vrcholy obrazového pole a hlavním bodem obrazového prostoru svírají obrazový úhel ω
. Optická osa pak půlí tento úhel a úhlopříčku obrazu
Obrazový úhel nepřímo závisí na ohniskové vzdálenosti f, kterou je možné u většiny fotoaparátů měnit výměnou objektivů nebo použitím objektivů s proměnlivou ohniskovou vzdáleností tzv. zoom. Čím větší je ohnisková vzdálenost, tím menší je obrazový úhel. Závislost obrazového úhlu na rozměru úhlopříčky nemá příliš smysl, protože až na vzácné výjimky (velkoformátové a deskové fotopřístroje) nelze měnit velikost obrazového pole.
Vztah mezi uvedenými veličinami shrnuje následující rovnice

Ekvivalentní ohniska pro různé velikosti obrazového pole uvádí přibližně následující tabulka

Patients ask me all the time for suggestions on what provider or physician to see, whether in primary care or internal medicine, OB-GYN, or specialists in orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery, pain management, physiatrists (physical medicine & rehabilitation specialists or PM&R's), and more. We are happy to give these suggestions, whether it is for a quality local physician, out of town specialist, or even for other ancillary providers, such as counsellors, pscyhiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and sometimes even for physical therapy when we do not have the necessary specialty care available. Not to say that we know every provider, we only give advice to the extent we have it. But the beauty of being an independent physical therapy practice is that we only refer patients to physicians who have impressed us with their high level of care and patient satisfaction. So what are some other ways to help you find the best provider for you?
Word of mouth referrals from friends, family, and co-workers are definitely helpful. Now sometimes, the person who really likes a certain provider has completely the opposite personality as you, or they have a completely different problem. Sometimes these referrals go south, because sometimes you don't see a providers "true colors" until difficulties arise or your case becomes too complex. Also try review websites like Healthgrades. Read through multiple pages of reviews, not just the first. Some providers and patients can game the system a bit, but generally these reviews and especially patients' comments are spot on. Now, every provider will probably have a negative review or two- as it is impossible to please everyone or guarantee a perfect result to every complicated case. These reviews should be able to give you a good feel for the provider.
Next, you can look at internal provider reviews. These reviews are found on the providers or providers' employer like a hospital system's website. Be wary of these ratings and reviews, as many times negative reviews are not counted or posted, so definitely take this data with a grain of salt. Other sites like Facebook, Google, Bing, and others often have low review numbers, so again, they can be easily skewed. Take these reviews as well with a grain of salt.
Medicare now has some physician reviews on-line as well. Most of these numbers are quality scores. Now, before you believe it's the Bible of all reviews, realize that quality is dictated frequently by mundane and unimportant things that may not apply to you at all like fall data, or percent of patients vaccinated. But it may contain data that is useful for comparison sake, like the number of re-admissions within 30 days of procedure, mortality rates, complication rates, etc; so it's worth a look. The best data to gather is how many cases do they see or operate on just like yours per month or per year. This will really tell you if they are a good fit for your particular needs.
Remember to also look at the providers' bio and web pages. Do they treat your precise specialty and do they have a special interest in your medical problem? Have they done lots of cases like yours? What is their complication rate? Try to get a feel also if their personality is well-liked, are they approachable, and do they take their time to answer patients' questions. Some providers do such a great job at this they run 1-2 hours behind schedule routinely. Would this work for you if it was otherwise the right provider? Only you can decide.
Finally, meet the provider. Get a consultation appointment. Gather your paperwork and write down your questions so the visit is valuable. You can always decide after this appointment whether or not this provider is for you. Bring along a female spouse, family member, or friend, because no joking, women have an outstanding ability to catch more non-verbal cues, details of conversations including both tone and message, and female intuition in sizing up people is oh so reliable and relevant!
Never feel guilty if you decide a physician or provider is not for you. They will not care if you seek another provider that better matches your medical needs or personality if they are a good provider! He or she will also desire for you to be comfortable and confident with the provider that may be in charge of your healthcare for years or just to complete one surgical procedure. Many will not even know you went somewhere else, as many patients are lost to follow-up. If you know a provider is not the best, but decide to proceed anyway due to needing a procedure completed quickly, recognize the risk you are taking, and think twice whether it is worth it. It may turn out just fine, or it may turn out poorly.
At MotionWorks Physical Therapy, we love to try to match patients to the best physician, both technically and personally. These top quality providers are hard to find, but once we find them, we definitely entrust our patients to their care. When you call our clinic, we also try to match you to the best provider for your particular injury or issue, because this will improve your care. If you have a question or need some advice regarding a consult or which physician to choose, we are happy to assist in any way that we can. Simply email Jill@motionworkspt.com, and we will try our best to help guide you in your decision-making process. If you are ever unhappy with the care you receive at MotionWorks Physical Therapy, be sure to let us know! We run our clinic with the goal of making continuous improvements to fulfill our mission of providing our patients the best quality physical therapy care, so suggestions for improvement all always appreciated. Contact our Quality Committee via email: our owner, Dr. Jill Murphy, at jill@motionworks.com, or Tonya at Tonya@motionworkspt.com, or call us at 920-215-2050, or you can even privately message us on our Facebook page.

THE SKYLARK'S SONG – SIGNED!
From the REUTS Press Release:
THE SKYLARK'S SAGA is a three-book YA WWI althistory fantasy from author J.M. Frey. Scheduled to release in 2017 from REUTS Publications, The Skylark's Saga combines the militaristic steampunk of Scott Westerfield's Leviathan with the espionage of Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate and rebellion of Marie Lu's Legend Trilogy. Suited for a 16+ audience, this gripping series features a PoC protagonist and centers on the morality of vigilantism, the burden of power, and what it means for the poor and downtrodden when the nobility play at war.
"The Skylark's Saga is the story of seventeen year old Robin Arianhod, a flight mechanic with uncanny luck who's been raised in the shadow of war. But after unexpectedly becoming the first female Glider pilot, Robin's luck fails. Targeted by the Coyote, a ruthless enemy dishonorably picking off crippled airships and retreating soldiers, she finds herself shot down and forced to seek shelter behind enemy lines. The only way to survive—and finish her mission—is to don a disguise containing the mystical rocket pack she stole from the Coyote and become the infamous Skylark. Told with Frey's signature ability to subtly weave social commentary into adventure, The Skylark's Saga tackles issues of racism, classism, and the grittier side of heroism in a soaring tale that asks readers to look at the morality behind the vigilante."
The Skylark's Saga follows The Skylark over three books as she tries to not only end the Saskwayin-Klonn war, but also put paid to the class feud between the Saskwayin Benne and her own people, the traditionally migrant Sealies. All while, of course, trying to figure out the origins of W.I.N.G.S., her wondrous rocket-pack, and to find the true King of Klonn and get his butt back on the throne… before the Coyote corners her into having to take it for herself.
