Postcards From Si Kenya
By Shailja Patel June 26, 2013
Tena mwanangu idhili,
Mbee za makabaili,
Uwaonapo mahali,
Angusa kuwenukiya.
Further, my child,
humble yourself,
before people of rank,
when you see them anywhere,
quickly praise them.
–Mwana Kupona binti Msham, 19th Century Lamu Poet, Advice To Her Daughter (1858)
Lamu is a tiny island in the Indian Ocean, off the coast of Kenya. It is part of an archipelago that birthed the Swahili language and Swahili culture in a rich maritime civilization of Indian Ocean trade and city states in the 11th century. Chinese sailors arrived here in the 15th c., married local women. Lamu County includes the islands of Lamu, Manda and Pate, Kiwayu and Ndau, and 6,300 square kilometres of the North coastal region of Kenya, bordered by Tana River to the South.
Fifty years after independence, in all the 6,300 square kilometres of Lamu county, there is not a single paved road. This is a problem. If you are one of the 36,000 residents of the Lamu archipelago, you need to go to Malindi, the nearest town on the mainland, for a dentist, an optician, most medications, surgery, to get your laptop fixed, higher education, technical training, industrial equipment, kitchen appliances. Women who develop complications during childbirth are sent to Mpeketoni, the nearest mainland town at the centre of the resettlement scheme of Kikuyus at the coast, whose influx displaced the indigenous hunter-gatherer Sanyes. The Mpeketoni hospital is better equipped, staffed, and serviced than any in Lamu. At Mpeketoni, they are often told to go to Malindi. They often die in transit. The Saudis built a state-of-the art hospital, the King Fahd hospital, on the island of Lamu. But neither the Saudis nor the government of Kenya keep the hospital stocked with drugs, supplies, or medical staff. So its primary activity is referring patients to facilities on the mainland.
On June 4th, 2013, Police in Mtwapa town in Kilifi county arrested a German national and nine local women for allegedly stripping in a club in Mtwapa.
Kenyatta directed coastal residents that what was left of the trust lands would be established as settlement schemes for their benefit. However, without following due procedures of law, he again took part of whatever remained for himself and his relatives. He also demanded that local communities that should have benefited from the trust lands accept payment of KSh600 per acre.
According to police the ladies were arrested while dancing naked for clients at Bahnhof pub and restaurant situated along the Mombasa–Malindi highway.
When the locals declined to accept the money, Kenyatta told them that whether or not they accepted it, the remainder of the trust lands would go to the government.
Kilifi police boss Clement Wangai said their arrest followed complaints from area residents over indecent acts at the club owned by the German national Ian Huthson.
That is how President Kenyatta took all of Tiwi and Diani trust lands. Local people became 'squatters' on the land and were evicted.
The nine women each pleaded guilty to the charge of indecent exhibition.
By 2012, land in the former trust lands taken by Kenyatta fetched KSh15 million per acre.
The nine women were sentenced to fines of 5,000 shillings each or a 3-month jail term, for 'engaging in prostitution.'
There is one channel between the main Lamu island and all the other islands in the archipelago, inhabited by over 12,000. A daily ferry plies this channel, known as Mkanda, sometimes as heavily loaded as a road vehicle, people hanging off the top and the sides. Small boats run water, supplies, humans, between the islands. There is no fresh water on the other islands. Locals harvest rainwater on large cement floors, jalbia, which are tilted to run off into storage tanks. In the weeks before the rains at the end of the dry season, when all water stores have been exhausted, you can see young men forming human chains, passing jerry-cans of water from hand to hand down to boats on the seafront, for transport to the smaller islands. These sell for up to 60 shillings a jerry-can, a punishing expense for families who eke out a living from fishing, subsistence farming, hunting, and gathering.
The proposed Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor (LAPSSET), is the most ambitious transport project in modern history of the continent. It will cost $23 billion. In 2008, the government of Qatar agreed to finance the entire project in exchange for 100,000 acres of fertile land in the Tana River Delta, where it could grow food for Qataris. Debate and opposition ensued. Qatar pulled out, but the displacement and land grabbing in Tana Delta has turned it into a living hell, caused hundreds of deaths.
The port will link Lamu to the oilfields of Southern Sudan via two oil pipelines, one for crude and one for refined. It will be the largest port on the African continent. Oil pipelines are no fun for the people who live along them. Just ask the residents of the Niger Delta.
No one has asked the Wa'amu if they want to live with oil spills, petroleum fires, the poisoning of their soil, air and precious scarce water. The plans for the construction of the new Lamu Port will block access to the Mkanda channel for three years while the harbor is dredged to make it deep enough for huge container ships. The channel will be completely closed as a transport route. The planners did not consult the local people.
The alternate route will go around the outside of the islands, in the open ocean, exposed to the full force of winds and currents. At least four times longer than the Mkanda crossing, the route will be impossible for small boats, a route that would capsize the Lamu ferry on a rough day, and be high-risk on a smooth day. The Lamu Port Steering Committee, made up of prominent locals, first heard of this plan five weeks ago, at a community activist meeting.
When a Lamu dhow captain, whose ancestors have sailed these waters for generations, was told of the plan, he refused to believe it. Impossible he said. People will die.
Raila Odinga, leader of the Opposition, came to Lamu twice before the election. He told the people of Lamu that they were stupid to have reservations about the port. Don't you want to be Dubai, he demanded.
No questions were allowed. No time was allotted for a local leader to respond. Luck only knocks once at your door, said Raila. He liked this line. He repeated it.

FedEx shutters Hong Kong pilot base over COVID restrictions
Semi-autonomous territory's travel policies have made it difficult for airlines to operate

FedEx Express is abandoning its pilot base in Hong Kong because of restrictive COVID health and travel rules that make it difficult for the parcel carrier's airline to operate efficiently.
In late January, FedEx (NYSE: FDX) relocated at significant expense about 180 of its Hong Kong-domiciled pilots and their families to San Francisco so they wouldn't be subject to lengthy quarantines required by Hong Kong authorities after returning from trips. The express delivery company said at the time that the new arrangement significantly increased operational costs.
"As the global business environment continues to evolve and with continued COVID restrictions in Hong Kong, FedEx has made the decision to close its Hong Kong crew base and relocate its pilots. The decision will not impact any FedEx routings or otherwise alter our service to our customers in this region," the company said in a statement provided to American Shipper. "FedEx will continue to maintain all of our operations in Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific, which are vital to our global network. We continue to operate and serve our customers in this important market with the safety and well-being of our team members as our top priority.
"We are fully engaged with our crew members in providing support for the relocation process, and we are proud of the way our entire FedEx team has continued to operate through difficult circumstances to keep the global supply chain moving around the world."
The lack of a timeline for Hong Kong to return to normal was a key factor behind FedEx's decision, according to the South China Morning Post, which was first to report the story.
Navigating Hong Kong's onerous zero-tolerance policies toward COVID has been a challenge for FedEx and UPS (NYSE: UPS) since the start of the pandemic. FedEx pilots early this year requested that the company stop layovers in Hong Kong because of burdensome quarantine conditions they said forced crews to be hospitalized against their will in substandard quarters if they tested positive for COVID upon arrival, with asymptomatic pilots kept in large congregate settings with communal bathrooms.
UPS pilots complained that they were detained after arriving in Hong Kong until their COVID test results were available.
Many passenger airlines have avoided Hong Kong or make extra stops in other countries for crew changeovers to avoid the city's rules.
Cathay Pacific stuck
Hometown carrier Cathay Pacific has been especially harmed by Hong Kong's COVID policies, which significantly reduce the availability of pilots and airlines' ability to maintain flight schedules. The quarantine restrictions decimated Cathay's already low passenger capacity and cut the capacity of its all-cargo fleet by 25% for two months before certain cargo routes received exemptions, forcing the company to dip further into cash reserves.
Before the pandemic, Cathay Pacific was one of the world's largest cargo airlines by volume.
While international passenger traffic in many countries is likely to recover to 2019 levels within two or three years, "I can see it taking maybe five years-plus for Hong Kong to recovery to previous levels of capacity, and by that time, what is left of Cathay Pacific" and two other low-cost airlines, said John Grant, chief analyst at OAG, during a company webinar about the Southeast Asia travel market.
OAG is an airline data and analytics firm.
Hong Kong authorities this month announced they were moving to align even more with Chinese quarantine and travel requirements, which Grant said threatens the city's status as an international gateway because people are not going to accept three-week quarantines in a hotel.
Cathay Pacific reported a net loss of nearly $1 billion for the first half of the year.
In October, it carried a total of 76,430 passengers, a 97.2% decrease compared to pre-pandemic levels. During the first 10 months of the year, the number of passengers carried dropped by 88% against a 68.4% decrease in capacity compared to the same period for 2020, which was already low due to COVID.
Cargo volume decreased 25.5% compared with the same period in 2019. Cargo revenues were down 14.9% year-over-two years while other passenger and combination carriers are enjoying revenue spikes from their cargo divisions. Year-to-date tonnage declined 2.9% and capacity dropped 14.7% compared to the same period last year.

The International Numismatic Congress has taken place in the Palazzo dei Congressi in Taormina in 2015 September 21-25.
The successful XV International Congress of Numismatics, Taormina 21-25 September 2015, was attended by 720 participants who came from 44 different nations (including Australia, India, Japan and China). The majority of the 422 papers and 53 posters that were presented are published in the Proceedings, Volume I-II.
The logo of a winged triskelés for the XVth International Numismatic Congress Messina/Taormina 2015 was inspired by a bronze coin of Syracuse under Agathocles (at the end of the IV century BC) and was designed by Cecilia Caccamo. Even if it reminds of the Sicilian Trinacria, the aim of Maria Caltabiano, Chair of the scientific Committee, is that the image of the three legs might suggest a dynamic movement towards the acknowledgement of the coin as a witness of historical events and cultural landscapes.
Meeting in May 2013: INC Board and XV Congress Scientific Committee: from l. r.: M. Puglisi, C. Arnold-Biucchi, E. Arslan, D. Bateson, M. Alram, B. Zäch, T. Talvio, D. Castrizio, L. Travaini, B. Ziegaus, M. Caccamo Caltabiano, P. P. Ripollès.
The Committee 2009-2015 from l. to r.: Maria Caccamo Caltabiano (Organizer of the Congress in Messina/Taormina), Michael Alram (Vice President), Carmen Arnold-Biucchi (President), Bernward Ziegaus, Pere Pau Ripollès, Benedikt Zäch (Vice President), Donald Bateson (Vice President), Tuukka Talvio, Sylviane Estiot.

Struggling with sciatica/leg pain in Ebensburg.
Sciatica/leg pain is a common type of pain affecting the sciatic nerve. The sciatic nerve is a large nerve extending from the lower back down the back of leg and can extend into the foot or toes. The sciatic nerve is made up of nerves that come out of the spine. Irritation to the nerve roots in the lumbar and/or lumbosacral spine cause sciatica.
We do a thorough assessment of the nervous system including digital x-rays, if needed, to determine if the nerves are getting irritated, determine the amount of degeneration and integrity of the spine. This helps us come up with a game plan to achieve a high level of success in at our office in Ebensburg. If you would like to see how we can help you, get scheduled today!

Editorial: Connecticut's public transit riders take another one on the chin
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy started the year pushing his 30-year, $100 billion plan to revamp an under-performing and outdated transportation system. But the year may end with the same old same old for commuters — forking over a whole lot more money but not getting a whole lot more in return.
Malloy's vision appears to have become cloudy in his new "economic reality" as he proposes a 5 percent hike in fares for Metro-North and Shoreline East trains, as well as raising Connecticut Transit bus fares a quarter — from $1.50 to $1.75. If approved, the fare increases would go into effect Dec. 1.
The governor also proposes scaling back the hours of highway rest stops. Under his proposal, seven would be closed overnight and the Westbrook welcome center would be closed.
All of this is an effort to make up for the $19 million in cuts to the road and bridge program and the reduction of $18 million in public transportation funding in the 2016-17 budget.
The 5 percent Metro-North hikes will bring in $5.9 million. That's in addition to an already scheduled 1 percent increase to pay for the M8 railroad cars that began rolling on the tracks in 2011. The state Department of Transportation also would reduce overtime on Metro-North's New Haven Line and cut maintenance costs, among other savings.
Malloy says while the fare hikes are not desirable, they are necessary to avoid significant reductions in service and to shore up infrastructure — and he lays out a strong argument to support his proposal: Nearly half the state's roads are in less than good condition, 334 bridges and one tunnel are rated in poor condition and four bridges on the New Haven Line are more than 100 years old.
Those are sound reasons — but not enough to sway Jim Cameron, chairman of the Commuter Action Group.
He said Malloy has offered no explanation why fares are being increased without other funding alternatives — such as a vehicle mileage tax, which Malloy broached but legislative leaders of both parties rejected — being explored. He says Connecticut residents are already forking over more money toward the cost of a ride than any other railroad in the United States.
And even as the governor pushes to raise fares to maintain current levels of service, transportation officials in Bridgeport are using code words such as "efficiency" to sell their plan to reduce service, eliminate routes and cut hours. If Bridgeport gets its way, some people getting off work late in the evening will walk up to half a mile to get a bus. A fare hike along with a reduction in service is not a winning combination.
Some headway has been made to modernize the state's transit system — including the CTfastrak busway and the addition of 405 new M8 rail cars to Metro-North's New Haven line. But there is so much more needed.
Raising fares may be a necessary evil, but it's particularly troubling coming in conjunction with significant budget cuts. For tens of thousands of commuters in Connecticut, Malloy's proposal simply means the same old same old — higher prices for a transit system that fails to meet the demands of its ridership.
It's beyond past time for the state's leaders to get serious about public transportation.


PROPOSAL ABSTRACT: Must be clear and informative. Describe the main issues you plan to address, including goals, methodology and expected outcomes. A good summary facilitates an adequate description and understanding of what you intend to achieve. If selected, this abstract may be published in CONICYT's web page. The maximum length for this section is 1 page. (Arial or Verdana, font size 10). We call "One Head Machine" an automaton that lives in a discrete space. It can walk, read and write symbols, and its behavior is governed, at discrete time, by a deterministic and finitely described rule. Examples of this kind of dynamical systems are the Langton's Ant, the Pebble Automata, the one head Turing Machines, and the Lorentz Lattice Gas. Such a system can represent a particle that collides with obstacles; a living being that interacts with its environment; an automaton that performs a task, etc. K°urka proposes two different formalizations of one head machines that he called TMT and TMH. We proposed to look at a particular symbolic system associated to TMT which we called t-shift. As we shown in previous projects, the t-shift is sensitive to many of the machine properties, and a parallel can be done between some properties of one head machines and their associated t-shift. In this project we will consider these three systems and study their different dy- namical properties and their interrelations. We will also consider the problem of decidability of several important properties.


CHICAGO — On a frigid winter morning, Latia Crockett-Holder, 23, emerges from her tent beneath a crumbling overpass in her stocking feet.
In the dim viaduct, where the streetlights are out and water drips from melting icicles like stalactites in a cavern, Crockett-Holder pulls two sheets of baby wipes from a box to wash her face. She squirts toothpaste from a small tube directly into her mouth, brushes and spits into the street.
Then Crockett-Holder laces up her boots, slings a book bag over her shoulder and heads off to the No. 148 bus a block away. She has a 10:45 a.m. economics class at MacCormac College in the Loop.
Crockett-Holder is studying criminal justice and dreams of a career in law enforcement.
It's an unlikely goal for a woman living in the tent city that has sprouted beneath an overpass in Chicago's Uptown neighborhood. For the last five months, she's lived in an overstuffed tent that she shares with her husband and his stepfather. Inside the tent, she wears a headlamp to study.
She's been saving money from government assistance in an effort to get into an apartment.
Young people like Crockett-Holder will be the subject of an upcoming study by the University of Chicago's Chapin Hall research center. Starting in May, the center plans to conduct a first-of-its-kind count of homeless and runaway young people in more than two dozen communities across the country.
Researchers will attempt to survey homeless people from ages 14 to 24 in urban, suburban and rural communities. The resulting report is expected to produce state and national estimates on the number of homeless young people and, hopefully, serve as a boilerplate for future research and policy, according to Bryan Samuels, executive director of Chapin Hall.
"Part of the beauty of doing it for the first time is that we'll do it, publish it and make it all available to everybody, so everything behind the estimate can serve as a methodology that others can improve upon over time," Samuels said.
The Chapin Hall initiative deviates from biennial homeless counts mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Those counts are carried out in the last week of January, typically the coldest time of year, with the thought that it's the best time to get an accurate count of homeless people in shelters.
Last year, researchers counted 6,786 people in shelters and on the streets, nearly 2,000 of them 24 and younger, according to a report from Chicago's Department of Family & Support Services. The HUD-required counts have "historically focused on adults," who are more likely to take advantage of shelters and other services during the winter, Samuels said.
Chapin Hall's Voices of Youth Count will also have a much more sweeping definition of homelessness that will encompass definitions used by HUD, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the U.S. Department of Education.
In recent years, social service agencies in major cities have added youth-specific counts. After performing its first supplemental youth-specific count last year, DFSS declined to do one this January in the hope that Chicago would be included in the Chapin Hall count.
Crockett-Holder said she has been homeless for much of her life. After a dispute with her family in west suburban Melrose Park, she bounced between homeless shelters, where often a nightly lottery would determine whether she would have a bed. She eventually settled for sleeping under the viaducts of Uptown, often with nothing more than a pillow and blanket.
That's where DFSS workers found her during the city's general homeless count in late January. They pleaded with Crockett-Holder to come to a local shelter, but she refused. She told them she was applying for a two-bedroom apartment she thought she could afford and hoped to be moving in on Feb. 5.
The next day, Crockett-Holder headed off to school. She sat in the back row of her sociology class, scrawling in her notebook as professor Joanne Howard engaged students on the topic of poverty.
"We think poverty can be eradicated," Howard said. "We also think it will not be eradicated in our lifetimes. We're a little pessimistic in the room.
"Dysfunction," one student said to his classmates' laughter.
"Motivation is a key thing" Howard said.
Howard had learned Crockett-Holder was homeless only about a week earlier when she went to each of her professors with a doctor's note indicating she was having emotional issues as a result of medication she was taking.
Crockett-Holder went on to divulge she had been suffering from depression because she was homeless. She assured her teachers she'd be better soon, since she expected to be moving into an apartment.
Crockett-Holder interviewed with the manager of the building where she hoped to land an apartment. But the move-in date came and went without a call.
After several weeks of waiting, she was still living in her tent, coming to terms with her disappointment.
"It's in God's hands," she said.
In the middle of one of her recent classes, however, Crockett-Holder was surprised by an email from the building manager. Crockett-Holder and her family are moving into an apartment.
On Sunday night, she enjoyed a few final moments with her tent city neighbors, wearing a beaming smile.
"We're moving off the streets," she said.

Although California's Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act, better known as Proposition 37, failed earlier this month when put to a vote, food companies still remain vulnerable to attacks over the use of genetically engineered ingredients in their products.
Specifically, it appears that marketing a food as "all natural" when it contains a genetically engineered (GE) ingredient continues to generate class action litigation. The latest lawsuit challenging the use of the word "natural" on a product label was filed by plaintiff Sonya Bolerjack on November 6, 2012 in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against Pepperidge Farm, Inc. The class action complaint alleges that the company "mistakenly or misleadingly represented that its Cheddar Goldfish crackers are 'Natural,' when in fact, they are not, because they contain Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in the form of soy and/or soy derivatives." In particular, the plaintiff asserts that the product is not natural due to the presence of soybean oil.
The plaintiff claims that Pepperidge Farm violated Colorado's Consumer Protection Act by engaging in deceptive trade practices; breached express warranties including that the product is natural even though it contains GMOs; and negligently misrepresented to the public through its packaging and labeling that the product is natural even though it contains GMOs.
In bringing this class action suit, the plaintiff is seeking certification on behalf of a class defined in the complaint as "all United States persons who have purchased Pepperidge Farm Cheddar Goldfish crackers containing Soybean Oil, for personal use, during the period extending from November 6, 2008, through and to the filing date of this Complaint." Currently, a decision as to whether to grant or deny an order certifying that the action may be maintained as a class action is pending.
These class action lawsuits involving challenges to the use of "natural" or "all natural" language on a product label have been both costly and damaging to reputation. It also appears likely that they will continue. In order to avoid litigation, companies should review their products and labeling for synthetic preservatives or artificial ingredients included in or added to the food, so that product labeling is accurate.


Oleg Sentsov, the famous Ukrainian filmmaker and political prisoner has been on a hunger strike for 49 days in a row. His counterpart Roman Bondarchuk mentioned this in his commentary during the International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary.
'I want to turn attention to Oleg, my colleague, who has been starving in Russian prison for 49 days now. We should remember him and another 60 political prisoners', he said as quoted by Radio Liberty.
Bondarchuk's film Volcano appeared on the program of the 53rd International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic.
As is known, Oleg Sentsov, the Ukrainian movie maker is now serving time under trumped-up charges with preparing terrorist acts in Crimea. The Russian court sentenced him to 20 years; Sentsov currently stays at the high-security penal colony in Labytnangi, northern Russia. He starves himself, demanding to release all Ukrainian political prisoners.
Earlier, Tatyana Moskalkova, Russian Commissioner for Human Rights, said health condition of Oleg Sentsov who is kept in Russian jail is generally satisfying, but there are still some concerns due to his hunger strike.
At the same time, the Russian Ombudsman added that Sentsov is being medically examined daily. The local medical worker checked his condition today in the morning.
It should be noted that the Russian and Ukrainian Ombudsmen arrived in the remand prison where Sentsov is kept, simultaneously. Yet, Lyudmyla Denisova came there earlier than her Russian colleague, but she was not allowed to visit Sentsov.
Denisova, a Ukrainian Commissioner for Human Rights, does not believe Moskalkova's claims that Sentsov's health condition is satisfactory.
On June 29, the lawyer of the political prisoner stated that Sentsov's health state is stable.

In the LGBTQ community, we think of safe spaces as places like bars, clubs and community centers, where people gather to be themselves, to express themselves, to be affectionate with one another, to seek friendship, support and love. The idea is that a safe space allows you to do any or all these things fearlessly and without judgment.
A shattering loss in Orlando
All of us are reeling from the news of early Sunday morning's mass murder at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida that has left at least 49 people dead and many more severely injured.
As more details about the tragic act of violence have been confirmed, we now know that this was a deliberate attack on an LGBTQ space, and specifically a space for queer Latinx people, who made up the vast majority of those killed and wounded, to come together and find community. It is believed that at least half of those murdered were Read more...

Regan's Boldness in 'Sphere of Influence'
During the past year the United States moved with uncharacteristic boldness to reassert its influence in the Caribbean Basin, a region that it has often treated with indifference and, at times, disdain. In doing so, the Reagan administration has seemingly affirmed its commitment to a "special relationship" between this country and its Latin American and Caribbean neighbors.
It is subject to varying interpretations, however. For example, the Kissinger Commission, in its recommendations to President Reagan on framing policies toward Central America, sought to strike a balance between security concerns in a region engulfed in internecine warfare and the longer-term needs for economic development and redistribution of land. To many Latin Americans the phrase "special relationship" implies that the nations of this hemisphere have common economic and political interests that make cooperative action both possible and necessary. But the initiatives by the administration suggest it views the Caribbean Basin as properly within the U.S. sphere of influence, thus requiring a policy to resist encroachment into the region by other major powers.
This policy line has led the United States into a series of actions in the Caribbean and in Central America, which critics have charged are puzzling and sometimes contradictory. On the one hand, the United States intervened militarily in the region last year for the first time since it sent troops into the Dominican Republic in 1965. On Oct. 25, the United States invaded Grenada, a tiny island in the southeastern Caribbean with a force that eventually totaled 6,000 American troops and a contingent of 300 police and militia from neighboring islands. Combat units were withdrawn in less than two months, but 300 U.S. technicians and military police were left behind for an indefinite stay.

The church officially remembers Joan of Arc not as a martyr but as a virgin—the Maid of Orleans. Of course, Joan was a martyr, but not in the technical sense. Yes, she died because she did what she thought God wanted her to do. But she was killed for her politics, not for her faith. Pagans did not execute her for refusing to worship their gods. Infidels did not slay her for defying them. Political enemies burned her at the stake for defeating them at war.
Joan of Arc was born into the violent times of the fifteenth century. During her childhood, King Henry V of England invaded France and seized Normandy. He laid claim to the crown of the French king, Charles VI, who was mentally ill. Paralyzed by civil war between the duke of Burgundy and the duke of Orleans, the French could not put up much of a defense. Things worsened when agents of the duke of Orleans murdered the duke of Burgundy. The Burgundians reacted by becoming England's allies.
Eventually, Burgundian mercenaries brought the war home to Joan's family. The raiders sacked the little village of Domrémy-la-Pucelle, forcing them to flee. Thus, the indiscriminate brutality of war disrupted Joan of Arc's pleasant childhood to acquaint her with fear.
She identified the speaker as Michael the Archangel. Subsequently, he spoke to her many times, gradually revealing a preposterous mission. "You have been chosen to restore the kingdom of France," said the voice, "and to protect King Charles." She was to accomplish these things as the head of the army! Imagine the terror and confusion the archangel's messages must have caused young Joan.
Joan found the visions comforting, but they also put her under great stress. Fear of her strict father compelled her to keep them secret; she confided only in her parish priest. The messages must have both thrilled and troubled her. The revelations conflicted with reality. How would a simple peasant girl accomplish such imposing, if not impossible, tasks?
By May 1428, Joan's voices had become relentless and specific. They directed her to go at once to a town nearby and to offer her services to Robert de Baudricourt, the commander of the royal forces. Reluctantly, she obeyed. De Baudricourt, however, greeted her with laughter, telling her that her father should give her a good spanking.
At that time, conditions were deteriorating for the French. The English had put Orleans under siege, and the stronghold was in grave danger. Joan's voices became more insistent. "But I am merely a girl! I cannot ride a horse or wield a weapon!" she protested.
"It is God who commands it!" came the reply.
Unable to resist any longer, Joan secretly made her way back to de Baudricourt. When she arrived she told the commander a fact she could have known only by revelation. She said the French army—on that very day—had suffered a defeat near Orleans. Joan urged him to send her to Orleans so that she might fulfill her mission. When official reports confirmed Joan's word, de Baudricourt finally took her seriously and sent her to Charles VII.
She was outfitted with white armor and provided a special standard bearing the names Jesus and Mary. The banner depicted two kneeling angels offering a fleur-de-lis to God. On April 29, 1429, Joan led her army into Orleans. Miraculously, she rallied the town. By May 8, the French had captured the English forts and had lifted the siege. An arrow had penetrated the armor over Joan's breast, but the injury was not serious enough to keep her out of the battle. Everything, including the wound, occurred exactly as Joan had prophesied before the campaign. A peasant maiden had defeated the army of a mighty kingdom, a humiliation that demanded revenge.
The way to Reims was now open. Joan urged the immediate coronation of the king, but the French leaders dragged their feet. Finally, however, at Reims on July 17, 1429, Charles VII was anointed king of France. The Maid of Orleans stood triumphantly at his side. Joan had accomplished her mission.
During the battles at Orleans, the voices had told Joan she had only a little time left. Her shameful end lurked ominously in the shadows. Later, she sustained a serious arrow wound in the thigh during an unsuccessful attack on Paris. In May 1430, after spending the winter in court, she led a force to relieve Compiègne, which the Burgundians had under siege. Her effort failed, and the Burgundians captured her.
Through the summer and fall, the duke of Burgundy held Joan captive. The French, apparently ungrateful, made no effort to rescue her or obtain her release. On November 21, 1430, the Burgundians sold Joan to the English for a large sum. The English were quite eager to punish the maiden who had bested them.
They could not execute Joan for winning, but they could impose capital punishment for sorcery or heresy. For several months she was chained in a cell in the castle at Rouen, where five coarse guards constantly taunted her. In February 1431, Joan appeared before a tribunal headed by Peter Cauchon, the avaricious and wicked bishop of Beauvais.
Joan had no chance for a fair trial. She stood alone before devious judges, an uneducated girl conducting her own defense. The panel interrogated her six times in public, nine times in private. They questioned her closely about her visions, voices, male dress, faith, and submissiveness to the church. Giving good, sometimes even unexpectedly clever answers, Joan handled herself courageously. However, the judges took advantage of her lack of education and tripped her up on a few slippery theological points. The panel packed its summary with her damaging replies and condemned her with that unfair report. They declared that demons inspired her revelations.
The tribunal decided that unless Joan recanted, she was to die as a heretic. At first she refused. But later, when she was taken before a huge throng, she seems to have made some sort of retraction.
Cauchon visited her, observed her dress, and determined that she had fallen back into error. Joan, her strength renewed, then repudiated her earlier retraction. She declared that God had truly commissioned her and that her voices had come from him. Having condemned Joan of Arc as a relapsed heretic, the judges remanded her to the state for execution. The next morning she was taken into Rouen's public square and burned at the stake.
Like Jesus' life, Joan of Arc's life seemed to end in failure.
Twenty-three years later, however, Joan's mother and brothers asked that her case be reopened. Pope Callistus III appointed a commission to review the matter. In 1456, the new panel repudiated the trial and verdict and completely restored Joan's reputation. Once again her piety and exemplary conduct had triumphed.
Few Christians hear heaven-sent voices. I know I don't. Joan was one of those rare exceptions who did. She obeyed what she perceived to be God's directions, and against all odds she achieved the purpose she was given. Though I've never heard a heaven-sent voice, now and then I sense something God wants of me. Doesn't that also happen to you? Perhaps Joan's example will reach down through the centuries to encourage us to listen closely for and to obey God's message to us.

Kumaradživa (sanskrt: कुमारजीव; tradicionalna kitajščina: 鳩摩羅什; poenostavljena kitajščina: 鸠摩罗什; pinjin: Jiūmóluóshí) (344 – 413) je bil budistični menih, misijonar, prevajalec in filozof iz takratnega kraljestva Kucha. Kitajski budizem je bil takrat najpomembnejše verovanje na tistem območju in je v veliki meri oblikoval razvoj umetnosti, filozofije in nasploh kitajske kulture, ki jo lahko vidimo danes. Kumaradživa je bil eden izmed največjih in najpomembnejših prevajalcev iz budistične kitajščine, v kateri so bila v tistem času napisana najpomembnejša dela.

Njegova pot do veličine se je začela na Sarvastivaški šoli, kjer ga je učil Budasvamin. Po tem, ko je izmojstril kitajščino, se je ustalil kot prevajalec v Chang'an-u, kjer je vodil skupino prevajalcev, s katerimi je v kitajščino prevedel veliko sanskrških budističnih besedil.

Življenje

Otroštvo in mladost
Kumaradživin oče, ki mu je bilo ime Kumarayana, je prihajal iz stare Indije. Poroka s Kumaradživino materjo, indijsko princeso, je bila dogovorjena že vnaprej.

Že kot otrok (pri devetih letih) se je Kumaradživa zelo zanimal za stara budistična besedila, imenovane Agame in se iz njih učil. Njegova neizmerna vedoželjnost in učljivost sta pripeljali do tega, da je že pri dvajsetih letih dobil polno meniško posvečenje. Skozi čas je postal slavna ikona zaradi svojega znanja in retoričnih sposobnosti.

Zaprtje
V letu 379 je iz kraljestva Kuche prišel kitajski menih Seng Jun in kitajskemu cesarju Fu Jian-u opisal Kumaradživine sposobnosti. Cesar ga je nemudoma hotel imeti pri sebi, zato je general Lu Guang za Kumaradživo poslal celo vojsko, takoj po tem, ko naj bi zavzeli kraljestvo Kucha. To jim sicer ni uspelo, vendar je Kumaradživo vseeno dobil v jetništvo nekaj let pozneje, ko je imel približno štirideset let. Zaprtje je trajalo veliko let, ki jih je izrabil za učenje kitajskega jezika. Bil je prisiljen, da se poroči s hčerjo kralja kraljestva Kuche, s čimer je prelomil svoje meniške zaobljube. Izpuščen je bil šele po udaru družine Yao, ki je strmoglavila Fu Jian-a.

Smrt
Leta 412 se je Kumaradživa začel slabo počutiti in je čutil, da se mu bliža smrt. V tem času je bil zelo raztresen, saj mu ni uspelo dokončati vseh mahajanskih prevodov. Izjavil je, da je "izredno žalostno, da mora zapustiti svet" in da "naj se, kar je napravil znano in prevedel, razširi med prihodnje generacije in v popolnosti dojame."

Umrl je leta 413 v Chang'anu (današnji Čangan) na Kitajskem.

Dela

Prevajanje
Kumaradživa je imel ključni pomen pri revolucioniranju kitajskega budizma in posledično ga je cesar Yao Hsing imenoval za "učitelja naroda". Za njegov stil prevajanja sta značilna jasnost in zmožnost, da se izogne poprejšnjemu sistemu prevajanja imenovanega "geyi", za katerega je značilno enačenje budističnih pojmov z daoističnimi in konfucionističnimi. Kumaradživin način prevajanja je bil zelo prefinjen, saj del v sanskrtu ni prevedel dobesedno, ampak je ohranil prvotno sporočilo besedila. Zaradi tega so njegovi prevodi ostali bolj priljubljeni kot nekatera dela kasnejših prevajalcev kot so Xuanzang, ki so se pogosteje polastevali dobesednega prevajanja.

V kitajsko budistično terminologijo je uvedel mnoge nove izraze, kot so:

-       大乘 "Dà chéng", ali "višje orodje", ki izhaja iz besede Mahayana

-       念處 "niàn chǔ", ki pomeni "prostor čuječnosti"

-       菩提 "pú tí", za "prebujenje"

-       性 "xìng", za "naravo" oz. "izvir"

Pri prevajanju Kumaradživa ni deloval sam, ampak je šlo za skupinsko delo, pri katerem so pomagali najboljši kitajski učeniki, ki jih je zbral cesar Yao Hsing. Prvi korak procesa je bilo Kumaradživino branje originalnega besedila. Menihi, ki so sodelovali pri prevajanju, so nato debatirali o delu s Kumaradživo in med sabo in med tem so nastajali prevodi. Te so bili nato zapisani in večkrat ponovljeni. Postopek prevajanja je bil zelo priljubljen javni dogodek, ki se ga je udeležilo do 3,000 ljudi in pogosto tudi cesar, ki je pogosto kazal zanimanje za obdelovana filozofska dela.

Kumaradživa je razvil tudi sistem, pri katerem je besede iz sanskrta v kitajščino uvajal z uporabo kitajskih znakov, pri čemer je vsak znak predstavljal svoj zlog. Ta sistem je kasneje postal osnova za "pinjin" romanizacijo kitajskega jezika.

Prevodi
Kumaradživi je pripisanih dvainpetdeset prevodov in splošno sprejeto je, da so dela res njegova. Med temi so tako mahajanske sutre kot dela na budističnih meditacijah abhidarma

Sutre
Sutra je aforizem ali zbirka aforizmov. Med najpomembnejšimi sutrami, ki jih je prevedel Kumaradživa, so:

·       Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra (Diamantna sutra)

·       Saddharma Puṇḍarīka Sūtra (Lotusna sutra) (T 263—62)

·       Aṣṭasāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra, (T 227, 408 CE)

·       Daśabhūmikā Sūtra (T 286) v sodelovanju z budajasami.

·       Viśeṣacintā-brahma-paripṛcchā (T 585—86)

·       Bhadrakalpa (T 425)

·       Ratnajāli-paripṛcchā (T 433)

·       Vidhi-hṛdaya-vyūha (T 307)

·       Maitreyavyākaraṇa Sūtra

Pogodbe
Prevedel je tudi nekatere ključne pogodbe, večinoma iz madjamaške šole budizma, ki so postale temelji vzhodnoazijskega madjamaškega budizma. Ta so:

·       Srednje pogodbe (Kitaj. 中論, pinjin: Zhonglun, T. 1564; Skt. Madhyamakaśāstra)

·       Pogodbe dvanajstih dveri (Kit. 十二門論, pinjin: Shiermenlun, T. 1568

·       Satyasiddhi Shastra (Ch'eng-shih lun)

Meditacijska besedila
Kumaradživa je s svojo ekipo prevedel tudi nekatere meditacijske pogodbe:

·        Skriptura skritih bistev Dhjane (T613. Chan mi yao fa jing 禪祕要法經)

·        Skriptura Samadija sedeče Dhjane (T614. Zuòchán sān mēi jīng 坐禪三昧經),

·        Skriptura Bodhisattvinih metod zagotavljanja spolnih potreb (T615. Pusa he seyu fa jing 菩薩訶色欲法經) .

·        Skrajšano bistvo Dhjane (T617. Siwei Lue Yao Fa 思惟略要法)

Poznavalci so neenotni glede tega, na koliko od teh je dejansko delal Kumaradživa. Kitajski viri nakazujejo, da so bila ta dela preurejena, okrajšana in vzeta iz indijskih virov.

Originalna filozofska dela
Za Kumaradživo velja tudi, da je napisal nekaj lastnih filozofskih del, vključujoč njegov Komentar na Vimalakīrti-nirdesa-sūtro in Shixiang lun. Kumaradživa je skupaj s svojo ekipo napisal tudi življenjepis Nagarjune.

Njegova originalna dela najdemo tudi v Jiumoluoshi fashi dayi, ki je zbirka pisem med Kumaradživo in Lushan Huiyuanom, v katerih debatirata o osnovnih temah mahajanstva.

Pomen
Njegovi prevodi so doživeli veliko uspeha v kitajsko govorečem svetu. Te so bili tako uspešni, da so celo stoletja po njegovi smrti in po številnih novih prevodih, ki naj bi bili boljši, še vedno najpogosteje uporabljeni Kumaradživini prevodi. V dvajsetem in enaindvajsetem stoletju se je s širitvijo globalnega budizme še povečal Kumaradživin pomen.

Poleg jezikovnega in terminološkega pomena je imel tudi izjemen pomen na filozofsko razumevanje budizma na Kitajskem. Po Fan Moyouu je imelo veliko kitajskih budistov pred Kumaradživo veliko nerazumevanj o praznini in neobstoju in ne-sebi. Na njihovo mišljenje je močno vplival neo-taoistični filozof Xuanxue. Kumaradživa in njegovi pomočniki so prepoznali te napake in stremeli k njihovem popravljanju z uvajanjem pravilnih prevodov indijskih budističnih del.

#68 Texans: FS Justin Reid
From NFLDraftScout.com Profile:
…A two-year starter at Stanford, Reid was listed at free safety in the box score, but played seven different positions across the defensive secondary, emerging as one of the top defensive playmakers in the Pac-12 in 2017. As the son of a former LSU track All-American and younger brother of a former LSU football All-American, Reid was destined to don the purple and gold. However, he forged his own path and went west to sign with Stanford. It also helped that the Cardinal campus is located just miles down the road from the San Francisco 49ers facility where his brother was drafted in 2013.
Reid played primarily in the box and over the slot receiver in man coverage at Stanford, using his blend of athleticism and intelligence to fuel his versatility from snap-to-snap. He has the ball skills and heady awareness to make plays in coverage, but his first instinct is to grab, relying on his hands over footwork to transition with receivers. As a run defender, his overaggressive nature will work against him, but Reid is always on high alert with the ability to explode downhill.
A three-star safety recruit out of high school, Justin Reid earned all-state honors in football and track at Dutchtown, also earning a letter in soccer. Coming from a LSU bloodline (his father, mother, older sister and older brother all attended LSU), Reid had an obvious connection to continue his family's legacy with the Tigers, but the classroom also played a major factor in his decision, considering offers from Harvard, Notre Dame and Stanford. In the end, while his heart was at LSU, he looked to create his own journey and committed to Stanford.
Reid saw action on special teams and made one start at nickel back as a true freshman, posting 23 tackles and his first career interception in 2015. He worked his way into the starting line-up at free safety as a sophomore and recorded 57 tackles and seven passes defended, earning All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention honors. Reid started all 14 games as a junior free safety in 2017 and tied for the conference-lead with five interceptions, adding 99 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss and 11 passes defended to earn First Team All-Pac 12 and Second Team All-America honors.
Doesn't labor when forced to turn his body and stay on the same plane vertically. Not a burner, but quick to unlock his hips and accelerate. Football smart, diagnosing his keys and anticipating the action. Highpoints with timing and ball skills. Not shy getting physical at the line of scrimmage and making receivers uncomfortable. Alert vs. the run. Leverages run lanes and avoids blockers as a high-to-low tackler. Works hard to wrestle his man to the ground. Great communicator and orchestrates the defense. Versatile experience playing both safety positions and every cornerback role in Stanford's scheme. Enjoys the mental challenges the game provides (numerous Academic All-Pac honors). Goal-oriented and won't run around hurdles ("He's so driven to be good." – Stanford defensive coordinator Lance Anderson). Athletic bloodlines – father (Eric, Sr.) was an All-American on the LSU track team (1984-87); older brother (Eric, Jr.) was an All-American safety and first round pick of the San Francisco 49ers in the 2013 NFL Draft. – Dane Brugler 1/14/2018
Grab first, move feet second in coverage. Needs to clean up his footwork and technique in coverage, taking too many false steps. Too hands-on when the ball is in the air, drawing penalties. Eyes spend too much time in the backfield, losing track of routes and taking wild cover angles. Lacks the make-up speed to recover if beaten off the snap. Sudden releases can get him off-schedule in press coverage. Seduced by ball fakes and play action. Has trouble breaking down on the move. Doesn't have the body bulk of his brother. – Dane Brugler 1/14/2018
COMPARES TO: Kevin Byard, Tennessee Titans – Byard is an All-Pro and Reid isn't close to that level just yet, but with the athletic range, confidence and ball skills, they are similar stylistically. Time will tell if Reid can reach Byard's level as a NFL player.
IN OUR VIEW: Reid isn't the same enforcer or physical marvel that made his brother a first-round pick, but he has the baseline athleticism, versatility and diagnose skills to see NFL playing time. He is an ideal back-up candidate who can push for starting reps.


I'm excited to invite Kara Isaac back to tell us about her upcoming release, Then There Was You!
In six days, my first indie (independent) release, Then There Was You, heads out into the big wide world. After two traditionally published novels (Close To You and Can't Help Falling) I thought it would be fun to talk about some of the differences I've discovered between working with a traditional publishing house and being my own publisher!
How exciting! What differences have you discovered?
Being an indie author means total control! You are the final decision maker on everything from cover, to back cover blurb, to distribution channels. This is both great and terrifying! There is no one chasing you up to make sure things are done by specific times and no contractual obligations to motivate you to meeting milestones just your own internal motivation. If a step is missed or something doesn't get done it's your responsibility to notice it and fix it.
If the cover doesn't hit your target reader demographic, if the back cover copy doesn't engage them, if a promotional activity doesn't pay dividends, it all comes back to you.
Right! That can be fun and scary!
I am so blessed that I got to work with an incredible team at Howard Books and am so grateful for the experience. Being an indie meant I had to pick my own team! For Then There Was You this included a developmental editor, a copy editor, a proofreader, a cover designer and a formatter.
I had worked with my developmental editor and proofreader before, my cover designer's work I had admired on a couple of author friends' indie releases, my copy editor I knew from writing circles and my formatter was a recommendation from an indie friend. They all did incredible work and getting Then There Was You to this point wouldn't have been possible without them!
Being an indie author for the first time is a many months exercise in discovering how much you really don't know! From getting an ISBN for your book, to navigating tax requirements, to making decisions from pricing to the color of pages, to getting advance copies to early reviewers, you're it when it comes to navigating from the first draft right through to release.
Thankfully the indie author community is a very helpful supportive one and people are always willing to point you in the right direction or share their expertise and experience.
All the picking out is kind of like building a house. Yes, the indie community is so supportive, as is the Christian fiction community as a whole.
My primary motivation for going indie was that with two novels releasing in 2016 I wanted to have a 2017 release to maintain momentum with readers and (for a variety of reasons) that wasn't going to be possible with my traditional publisher.
All of these things were covered by my traditional publisher. Being indie means paying the bills and watching the $$$$ disappearing out of our bank account!
LOL, I've been there–making sure you can prove a return on the investment for the husband!
Thank you so much for having me here today! I have TWO Kindle eBook copies of Then There Was You to give to two lucky commenters (also a bit of shameless promotion the eBook is also on a preorder special of $3.99 until midnight on the 21st :) I will be popping back in to respond to comments/questions later in the day (thanks to the time difference with New Zealand I don't even wake up until the US is well into the afternoon) and I'm also juggling three small people so please bear with me if it takes me a couple of days to reply!
I'll try to be patient, ha! Thank you so much for your generous offer. No worries about the promotion! I know our readers will be excited to order.
Sounds amazing! I can't wait to read it!
Thank you so much, Kara, for hanging out with us! READERS, Leave a comment by June 20, 2017 to be included in the giveaway!
Thanks for sharing your experience and your latest book with us, Kara. I look forwarding to reading, Then There Was You.
HI Jill! Thanks for welcoming Kara again!
Hi Wemble! I hope to visit y'all's side of the world someday! Looks beautiful!
Hi Wemble! Whereabout do you live across the ditch? I'm very envious that you're winter weather is so much better than ours!
Hi Janet and thanks for the introduction. Welcome Kara! Thanks for an insightful and educational post about the publishing business. Your new book sounds delightful. This retired high school teacher can relate. I was a pastor's wife for 25 years and lived in Chicago for 10 years. My younger brother was a violinist. As a retiree, most of my travels today are in the Midwest or via my arm chair through books and posts from friends. My furthest travels from the Midwest was to Japan in 2008. That 15 hour flight was long enough, so not sure about a lengthy flight to Australia. So your story catches my interest – how will a violinist from the Midwest adjust to a different culture and seasons in the land down under. Intriguing. When not reading or interacting with authors around the world, this grandma chases two adorable little granddaughters ages 3 and 5 months four days a week, while their parents work. Since it is now summer break and I also entertain two grandsons ages 11 and 9, who come to my house for the food. Best wishes Kara. Happy writing and enjoy those precious little people.
Hi Renate! Wow, you are one busy grandma. Your grandkids (and children!) are so blessed to have you able to be so involved! We don't have any grandparents living in the same city as us and definitely miss it. If you've made it to Japan you could definitely make it to New Zealand and Australia. From Auckland to LA it's about a thirteen hour flight and I think it's roughly the same from Sydney to LA as well :) I hope you enjoy Then There Was You if you have the opportunity to read it.
I enjoyed the interview! I am adding the book to my TBR list. I really like the cover, too!
Thanks, Elizabeth! Isn't the cover cute?
Hi, Elizabeth! I'm so glad you like the cover :) It's a very different style to my other two but I love it. I hope you enjoy Then There Was You if you have the opportunity to read it!
I enjoyed learning more about the traditional vs indie publishing process – thank you, Kara and Janet!
Hi Laura! Thanks for stopping in! Yes, I was interested in the traditional side, since I'm indie.
It was fun getting to hear a little bit more about Kara and the process of indie publishing. It really must be scary, but you needn't worry, you are a fantastic and skilled writer. I've enjoyed your other books.
I look forward to reading this book, I've seen it being promoted by others on Facebook and I think it will be a big hit!
Yes, her other books are wonderful! Can't wait to read this one, too. Have a great day Marilyn!
Andrea, it is great how everyone helps each other!!
Hi Andrea! Yes, daunting is definitely a good word for it but it has been a lot of fun too :) I hope you enjoy Then There Was You if you have the chance to read it.
Thanks for sharing your experience as and indie author. I know other in this blog publish like that too and it's good to hear more about the work of the authors we support.
Yes, Many of us have ventured into indie! It's been fun!
I think it's a great idea to indie publish in between your other books to maintain momentum with readers. I think that this book will definitely accomplish that, I know it has for me, just having another book from you to look forward to. I absolutely love the cover!!!
Heidi, I agree! It's a great idea!
Thanks so much, Heidi! I'm so glad you love the cover. It's very different from the other two but I love it as well :) And yes, now that I've taken the leap I am very excited that it's only been nine months between Can't Help Falling and Then There Was You rather than potentially a couple of years for readers to wait!
I can't wait to read your book, Kara! And thanks for all the effort you had to bring your story to us. I would never imagine all the effort behind publishing a book..
Hi Laura! It's a labor of love for sure!
Thanks so much, Laura! I hope you enjoy it :) Yes, there's definitely a lot of moving parts to getting a book released but I've enjoyed learning about them all!
I loved the blog post and it was informative.
Congrats on the new book and I would love to read.
Yes, only a few more days to wait for Kara's next book!!
Yeah! Three real life babies and three book babies! Loved the first two books so I'm looking forward to reading this one, also.
Arletta, That is a fun correlation! Book babies! It is like putting your child out there for the world to critique. I get nervous every single time!!
Enjoyed your post and also enjoyed Close to You! Looking forward to reading more of your books!
Wasn't it great!! Thanks for stopping in, Jackie!
Janet, thanks for sharing Karen's experience with us.
HI Merrilee! I was excited to have Kara back!
Hi Kara! So excited about your new book! And thanks for going to such lengths for your readers! I think most of us don't realize what you all have to do besides just writing the story to get a book published.
Hi, Nancy! It is a lot of work. If I didn't write Christian fiction, I probably wouldn't stick with it. For God and readers, it's worth it!
Thanks, Kara and Janet! You are both such amazing writers! I'm looking forward to reading your book, Kara. I think it's next on my list, so I should be finished by release day.
Hi Winnie! You are so kind and encouraging! Thank you!!
Love the blurb, and that cover is awesome! I may need to message you to find who your cover designer is, because I need the same style and feeling for a release planned for early next year. I tried to get something similar but set in London for my first indie book, but ended up paying for an epic fail!
The book deserves to do wonderfully well, and I'm sure it will!
Oh Autumn, I'm so sad to hear you had to pay for an epic fail :( My designed was the lovely Jenny from Seedlings Design Studio – http://www.seedlingsonline.com. She is a dream to work with and I highly recommend her. You'll see from her portfolio that she has done designs for a number of inspirational romance authors.
I appreciated the information on what you have to do when you are independent. It makes me more grateful for what you authors have to do and why reviews are so important.
If I do not win, I will end up buying it. Now I have to decide ebook or paperback.
Oh yes! Reviews are so important!! Ah, so many choices! Paperbacks are fun to share!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support :) I hope you enjoy Then There Was You in whatever format you read it in. And yes, reviews are always ALWAYS appreciated by authors.
Me, too! I'm sure it will be great!
I do the same thing with books I love! Thanks for saying hello, Jebraun!
All Kara's books are fun!
Hi Martha! I think it is but I'm a little biased ;-) I hope you enjoy it if you have the chance to read it.
I have Kara's first book, and can't wait to read the next! I'm a teacher who loves to read in the summer!
Hi Joy! I totally understand. I worked as a school librarian for seven years. Summer was for reading and projects around the house! Enjoy!
Hi Joy! Happy summer reading to you :) I'm very jealous as I sit here wrapped up in my lounge against a winter chill that just swept in this morning! I hope you enjoy Then There Was You.
I can't wait to read this. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Kathryn! I can't wait either!
Having read and loved Kara's first two books, Then There Was You is a must read for me. Thank you for the background info of what it takes to produce an indy book, though I imagine this just skimmed the surface, and for the ebook giveaway.
Hi Pam! So glad you are excited about this next book! I'm sure it will be great!
Thanks, Pam! Yes, it's definitely kept me busy the last six months but it's been a great learning experience :) I hope you enjoy Then There Was You!
Just finished Can't Help Falling today after renewing it 4 times at the library! Can't wait to read Then There Was You on my phone with no return dates ever!
LOL! You sound like me! I renew books often.
Thanks for all the work you do in writing books. Your new book sounds good.
It does sound good! I can barely write and my children are grown (sort of 20 & 24), so I'm amazed that Kara has gotten all this accomplished this year!!
Your article really put the Indie experience into words of what goes on in your world. The story of Josh and Paige sounds like they both need to met their own challenges.
Hi Rory!! Yes, she explained the differences well!
Great interview! Sounds like a great read! Looking forward to it!
All Kara's stories are fun that I've read!
Will the characters from your other books make an appearance in this one?
Oh cool! I did not know this! Great question, Brittany!
I was away all last week at a camp with very limited wifi, so a bit late in responding! I enjoyed reading this informative and interesting post. I do like the frequency of books from indie authors!
HI Margaret! Hope you had a great week at camp! I used to do church camp for many years. Great memories.
Speaking of frequency, I need to get to writing!
Hi Narelle! I'm looking forward to it as well!
This sounds like such a good and fun read. I so need this in my life.
Hi Dana! I hope you enjoy!
Hi Kara – I read your article in the "War Cry' and you captured my attention as soon as I read your comments on not being able to find Christian Fiction you actually wanted to read! For that reason alone I would be keen to read your books, and also would of course have very high expectations of them – lol! Well done on persevering with this obvious passion of yours. I have recently embarked on my own creative venture so I am finding myself being reeled in when it comes to finding out more about anyone who is prepared to persevere with something they are passionate about. All the best to you and your precious family.
Oh wow! I need to read that article! Thanks for chiming in!

Exploiting Capture Diversity for Performance Enhancement of ALOHA-Based Multi-Static Backscattering Systems in the 6G Perspective
In this paper, we consider the emerging context of ALOHA-based multi-static backscattering communication systems. By assuming an architecture consisting of a set of passive backscattering nodes, an illuminator, and a set of spatially dislocated receivers, we firstly propose a cross-layer framework for performance analysis. The model jointly accounts for the shared wireless channel, including fading and capture effect, and channel contention strategy, which is regulated by a Framed Slotted ALOHA protocol. Furthermore, based on the inherent macroscopic diversity offered by the multi-static settings, we introduce the concept of capture diversity, which is shown to enable multiple packet detection in slots with multiple transmissions. In order to characterize the multiple access interference and approximate the capture probabilities, we enforce a log-normal approximation of the inverse Signal-to-Interference Ratio that relies on moment matching. Numerical results show the impact of deployment scenarios and the relative positions of illuminator, backscattering nodes, and receivers on the system normalized throughput. We show how the number of detection points impacts the system performance under various channel conditions. Moreover, the accuracy of the proposed approximation rationale is validated via Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we analyze the optimal frame length in the presence of capture diversity.

The first day of Senior Bowl week felt like a blur.
NFL coaches, scouts, and media members from all over the country filled the Mobile Convention Center eager to meet, and speak with the college prospects on hand. Both Oakland Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden and San Francisco 49ers Head Coach Kyle Shanahan spoke with reporters as well, each sharing brief evaluations of some of the players they'd be coaching this week.
For the Raiders, the team has a long list of needs it needs to address in the 2019 NFL Draft, and free agency, but getting to know some prospects here in Mobile, Ala., is a good start. General Manager Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden are going to be busy determining which players fit in the big picture this week, and after hearing Gruden speak at his media availability Monday, we know a couple of players that have piqued his interest.
After hearing Gruden's comment yesterday, I made it a priority to monitor Collier and Allen during practice, and it was clear why he's intrigued by their talent.
The duo of pass rushers have similar physiques, Collier standing at 6'4" and weighing in at 276 pounds, while Allen is 6'5" and checks in at 285 pounds on the scale. Each are capable of bullying offensive linemen at will, and they both demonstrated a good awareness against the run Monday.
When asked after practice what they thought of Coach Gruden's comments, they shared similar answers.
"It's quite an honor, and he's one of the greatest coaches of all time, so to have him recognize me is fantastic, and I just got to give him something to work with this week," Allen added. "Today I felt I did pretty good in the run, could've done a little better in the one-on-ones. Wasn't as solid as I wanted to be, but just getting back into football. Been out of it a couple months, so just getting my feet on the ground again."
In most cases, actions speak louder than words, and even though one of Collier's biggest strengths is stopping the run, he isn't shy about expressing his confidence. On a couple of occasions, the former TCU Horned Frog could be heard on the field from the sideline jawing at his opponents, refusing to back down from the competition. This stems from his love of the game, and he thinks it's a quality his coaches appreciate.
In the brief encounters I had with the two pass rushers, they had different demeanors, but shared a similar approach to the game. Collier, an outspoken and passionate player, and Allen, a methodical and high-motored player, know they have skill sets that can succeed at the next level, but they're absorbing everything the Raiders coaching staff is telling them in an effort to help them develop.
When asked about why he thinks he stood out to Gruden, Allen believes his versatility is one of his best attributes.
The week is far from over, but Collier and Allen have quickly made positive impressions on Gruden and the coaching staff. As the next couple of days go by, the duo are both expecting to improve, not be complacent, and prove that they can compete with anyone.


Permaculture is a concept, which is based on creating permanent working (sustainable) natural circles. Originally developed for farming (permanent agriculture) it is also applied as a way of thinking, that influences realms such as energy supply, landscape design and creation of (infra-) structures.
The ultimate principle is an ecological, economical and social sustainable handling of ressources that proceeds in small circles.
"Permaculture is a sensible design as much as the sustentation of productive agricultural ecosystems that contain diversity, stability and durability. The philosophy behind permaculture is the conviction to work with and not against nature, a philosophy of permanent and considerate observation, not of constant exploitative action; it regards nature-systems holistically instead of forcing one-way profit, and it lets natural systems, develop their own evolution."
Bill Mollison and David Holmgren (Australien) are considered as "prime fathers" of permaculture. Sepp Holzer is well-known as the Austrain equivalent and advises worldwide diverse projects, f. ex. Vitsøhus.
Permaculture aims to maximize symbiotic and synergistic relationships of organic agriculture that does not use pesticides to pollute the site components.


Нанеся рисунок на доску, вы всегда в центре внимания, и если вы фанат темы о роботах и особенно фильма Terminator – это именно ваше решение, для вашей доки .
Faithful Pop Culture Happy Hour listeners know that contributor Chris Klimek is a lifelong action-movie enthusiast, but they may not know that he is, in particular, a Terminator movie connoisseur. Which is why, for this Small Batch edition, I asked him to Skype in from the Connecticut coastline, where he is estivating while on a prestigious writing fellowship, to talk about the fifth film in the Terminator series, the enervatingly spelled Terminator Genisys.
We talk about the film's lackluster opening weekend box office, and why it may not matter. We talk about the previous films in the series (about which Chris wrote a handy primer), and why they definitely don't matter, given this latest installment's soft-reboot approach to the established mythology.
We talk about how the film balances a fannish desire to evoke that old mythology, and its need to tell a fresh story. We talk about where the series can go from here. And we talk about the lead actors, and their accents.
Speaking of: know that we manage to get through this entire episode without either one of us busting out a lame Schwarzenegger impression. Because that's how much we love you.

When selecting an eye patch for your child you will need to experiment with a variety of eye patches. Fortunately there are many fun and creative eye patches available now. One option is an adhesive eye patch that is worn like a bandaid over the good eye. Sometimes the skin around the eye patch becomes red and sore, however this style totally blocks vision. A second option is a cloth eye patch that fits onto eye glasses, this too blocks the vision and comes in a variety of colors as well has fun designs. The third option is a Poggle eye patch or a Pirate style eye patch. Both of these eye patches fit directly onto the eye and are secured with straps that wrap around the head, vision is completely block. We suggest trying all three to find the best fit and the most comfortable option for your child.
