Hooray! There are more Emperor penguins in Antarctica than previously thought
This is a brilliant boost for the threatened species
August 11, 2020 - 16:31 BST HELLO! Magazine A satellite has spotted 11 colonies of Emperor penguins in the Antarctic that hadn't been accounted for. The survey revealed there are 20% more Emperor penguins than previously thought
Satellite images have discovered 11 new colonies of Emperor penguins in the Antarctic that had previously never been discovered. The discovery means that the number of known colonies of the threatened species has been boosted by 20% - growing the population of Emperor penguins to more than half a million, with 61 colonies around the continent.

Emperor penguins call Antarctica home
For the last 10 years, British Antarctic Survey (BAS) scientists have been looking for new colonies by searching for their guano stains on the ice. "This is an exciting discovery," said lead author Dr Peter Fretwell. "The new satellite images of Antarctica's coastline have enabled us to find these new colonies. And whilst this is good news, the colonies are small and so only take the overall population count up by 5-10% to just over half a million penguins or around 265,500 – 278,500 breeding pairs."

Emperor penguins need sea ice to breed and are often found in remote, inaccessible areas with temperatures as low as -50C – making them hard to study. As they are the only penguins to breed on sea ice, rather than land, they are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

The researchers found all of the new colonies were in areas offshore, on sea ice that had formed around icebergs that had grounded in shallow water – making them particularly at risk from the effects of climate change.
Dr Phil Trathan, Head of Conservation Biology at BAS, who has been studying penguins for the last three decades, said: "Whilst it's good news that we've found these new colonies, the breeding sites are all in locations where recent model projections suggest emperors will decline. Birds in these sites are therefore probably the 'canaries in the coalmine' – we need to watch these sites carefully as climate change will affect this region."

Hunt Signs
Cirencester Town today completed the signing of Striker Ben Hunt.
His recent clubs include Gloucester City, Lewes, Dover Athletic and Weston-super-Mare.
He was a youth player at West Ham Utd and made regular appearances in their reserve side,[but never made the progression into their first team. At the end of the 2007-2008 season he was released by the Hammers and he signed for Bristol Rovers
Hunt's debut in senior football came on 16 August 2008 for Bristol Rovers in a League One match against Brighton & Hove Albion, when he came on as a 72nd minute substitute.
Ben Hunt agreed a one-month loan deal with Conference North side Gloucester City on 17 December 2009. He scored on his debut against Redditch United on Boxing Day. In March 2009 he joined Conference South champions Newport County on loan.
Along with 14 other players, he was released by Rovers at the end of the 2009–10 season. He signed for Dover Athletic on 20 July 2010. On 19 February 2011 he signed for Lewes in the Conference South.
The registration should have cleared in time for him to go into the squad for Saturdays FA Trophy match with Carshalton which is good news considering Mitchell Bryant's injury sustained in last night's game at Frome Town.

Rage of the Dragons est un jeu d'arcade de 2002 conçu par Evoga, développé par BrezzaSoft et Noise Factory et édité par Playmore. C'est un jeu vidéo de combat sorti en 2002 sur le système d'arcade Neo-Geo MVS et sur console Neo-Geo AES (NGM 264).

Système de jeu
Rage of the Dragons est basé sur un système de combat en équipes par TAG, dans lequel le joueur prend le contrôle de deux personnages et peut changer entre l'un ou d'autre pendant la partie. Le personnage qui n'est pas contrôlé pourra récupérer lentement une partie de son énergie tandis que l'autre se bat. Le joueur peut exécuter des combos spéciaux (le « Team Duplex ») dans lesquels les deux personnages attaquent un adversaire en même temps pour des dégâts supplémentaires.
En choisissant des partenaires spéciaux, il est possible de réaliser le « Team Duplex Special » qui consiste en une combinaison de 2 Team Duplex.

Une jauge auxiliaire situé en bas de l'écran se remplit lentement quand une attaque touche l'adversaire. Quand la jauge est pleine, des coups spéciaux peuvent être exécutés (contres, Desperation moves, Team Duplex…).

Histoire et Personnages
Il y a un total de quatorze personnages jouables dans Rage of the Dragons. Le joueur peut choisir une parmi les sept équipes par défaut, ou créer sa propre équipe avec presque 80 combinaisons possibles. Le joueur verra une fin cachée s'ils termine le tournoi avec l'équipe "originale" de Jimmy et Billy.
 Jimmy (James Lewis)
 Billy (William Lewis)
 Lynn (Lynn Baker)
 Sonia (Sonia Romanenko)
 Annie (Annie Murakami)
 Radel
 Pepe (Jose Rodriguez)
 Pupa (Pupa Salgueiro)
 Jae-mo Kang
 Mr. Jones (Jones Damon)
 Oni (Oni Inomura)
 Cassandra ''' (Cassandra Murata)
 Elias (Elias Patrick)
 Alice (Alice Carroll)

Il y a aussi deux boss dans le jeu en mode joueur simple. À la différence des personnages réguliers, ces boss combattent seuls.
 Abubo (Abubo Rao)
 Johann Production
À l'origine, Evoga envisageait Rage of the Dragons comme une suite du jeu de combat Neo-Geo Double Dragon sortie en 1995. Cependant, Evoga n'a pas eu la possibilité d'utiliser les droits intellectuels des personnages (les droits ont été rachetés par la société Million, fondée par des anciens employés de Technos Japan, les développeurs de Double Dragon Advance), et ainsi, Rage of the Dragons devint un hommage à la série des Double Dragon au lieu d'une suite officielle.

Les deux personnages principaux de Rage, Billy et Jimmy Lewis, partagent les mêmes noms que les protagonistes de la série des Double Dragon, Billy et Jimmy Lee, tandis que le boss Abubo est basé sur Abobo du Double Dragon original. Deux personnages de soutien dans rage, Linda (l'assistante d'Abubo) et Mariah (la petite-amie décédée de Jimmy) sont elles aussi basées sur des personnages de Double Dragon''.

The iPad's Next LCD Panels could be Supplied from Sharp
By Cody Fink
Between quality control issues at LG Display that were finally reported as resolved in September, and the ongoing patent litigations between Apple and Samsung, Sharp could become the next display vendor for Apple's iPads.
When the iPad 2 launched in March, Apple quickly turned to Samsung and Chimei Innnolux as customers complained of light leakage around the bezel of LG-based displays. For much of the year, a combination of quality control issues and late shipments had Apple turning to these other manufacturers to pick up the slack. At the end of August, LG Display finally shipped its due quota of four million panels. The iPad 2 didn't begin shipping on time until after July. While LG Display expects supply shipments to return to normal, the failures of LG Display to correct its manufacturing issues on time and the untrustworthiness of Samsung would have Apple looking for alternatives. Sharp could be the premium candidate for future iPad displays, such as next year's rumored Retina Display for the iPad 3.
According the Wall Street Journal, Sharp has reported they'll begin mass-producing smaller displays at the Kameyama No. 2 plant in Mie Prefecture by the end of the year, a plant previously used solely for the production of TV panels. WSJ reports that Sharp already supplies displays for Apple's iPhones, and that they could become the premier supplier next year with the introduction of newer models. Apple's alleged investments in Sharp's panel manufacturing facilities in Japan lend some additional credence to this claim.
Samsung Chief Operating Officer and President Lee Jae-yong said in October he had discussions with Apple Chief Executive Tim Cook about extending Samsung's deal to supply parts to Apple through 2013-2014.
Component deals in a competitive market, however, may keep Samsung in the loop. With proof of manufacturing capability and the technology already in place, Samsung is still a critical component of Apple's supply chain. At the end of the fourth fiscal quarter in September, Apple reported 11.1 million iPads sold compared to 4.2 million iPads sold just a year ago.

Questions from various growers have come in to different Extension educators around Pennsylvania concerning planting into ryleage or cover crop rye that has gotten away and is now at a taller stage of growth, says Dave Wilson.
I have planted no-till corn into short green cover crop rye, larger intermediate-height rye and in tall standing mature straw stage rye. Planting into the less mature stage rye and intermediate rye was "planting green;" planting into the taller straw stage rye was "planting brown," says the educator from Penn State Extension.
The shorter green cover crop rye is typically easiest to no-till plant into. We need to spray to kill the rye crop at this stage. At this stage and even up to about 12-14 inches of height we can spray first and then plant green or we can plant green and then spray, both methods work.
The main consideration about rolling is that we need to consider rolling to make the cover into a mat so that it doesn't canopy over the small seedlings.
With shorter green stands of cover crop rye we can get away without rolling because the immature green cover crop falls over and sort of "melts down" quicker after burn down causing less competition from shading.
If the cover crop is taller and thicker then we need to consider rolling for management, every year is different.
Last year where we no-till planted green and did not roll it, our tall cover crop canopied over top of the small corn seedlings blocking the sunlight. We had a week or so of cooler weather and cloudy skies after the planting and this impacted the growth of the seedlings (less sunlight and a canopy that fell over top of the corn seedling).
The prior 2 years we had nice sunny weather after planting and this was not an issue. So rolling gives us more physical control of the canopy.
If planting green 10-12 inches or smaller we can spray and roll or roll and spray. If planting green with a taller rye plant or planting brown with mature tall rye, we should consider rolling before planting and roll the cover crop down in the same direction of planting, make a flat mat to plant into. With taller rye plants the rolling will prevent the canopy effect on the small corn seedlings.
When planting into a mature headed rye we can roll it and kill it, the plant as a winter annual after dehiscence is in the reproductive stage and it will dye on its own at this stage we don't need to spray it to kill the plant. We have done this on organic farms without herbicides. The rolling and crimping will kill the plant. It's going to die anyway, we are just helping it along and making a rolled mat of rye to plant into.
On conventional farms with the taller mature rye the herbicide consideration is that if we are using a preemergence herbicide we want to get that down to the soil level before we roll the rye. Sometimes, once we have a heavy rolled mat and we are spraying down on top of the mat of straw there can be some blocking that takes place.
What I've found is that the heavy mat of rye straw does suppress the weeds early on, in some situations for quite a while into the growing season.
Eventually some weeds will break through the mat and then we may be able to hit them with a postemergence herbicide, but we need the right equipment to apply this depending on the timing of the weed breakthrough and the height of the corn. Usually this weed emergence occurs later in a field with a rolled down cover crop mat compared to a field with no soil cover which is open to sunlight.
For no-till planting considerations as we get into taller rye then the challenge becomes one of "residue management" and planting into the thicker mat of cover crop.
With the taller rolled down rye, having the right no-till equipment and set-up becomes paramount and this is the main concern for farmers planting into a heavier cover crop. If the grower doesn't have the correct equipment and is not set up for this then its best to cut the standing rye get it off the field and no-till plant into the rye stubble.
Planting corn into smaller rye 12-15 inches or less, is more achievable. But if they are going to attempt no-till planting into the taller standing rye, here are some recommendations and considerations.
If there is a choice I would recommend no-tilling soybeans into the tall rolled down rye before planting corn. This is because of rotation effect and less issues with available Nitrogen upfront early which is needed for the corn and not so the soybeans.
A mature rye crop has taken out more nitrogen than a younger less mature rye crop. Also a less mature rye cover crop will decompose and give some of the nitrogen back sooner than a more mature lignified rye. Because of this if we are going to follow with corn we need to figure a full rate of starter fertilizer with enough available N to be available for the corn seedlings.
In the case if you have a rolled down rye mat on top of the soil, this doesn't decompose readily so typically that is not a nitrogen tie-up concern. But the root mass of the rye plants can be.
In the case of a rye stand that was planted as a cover crop we may have planted a bushel to a bushel and a half of rye (less than 100 pounds per acre seeding rate) but in contrast If these fields are on dairy farms and were planted intended to be cut as forages then we typically plant as heavier rates, 120-130 pounds per acre some up to 150 pounds per acre.
This means more plants per foot row which was intended for the heavier forage cutting which also gives us a much heavier root biomass in the top 2-4 inches of the soil (our corn planting zone) compared to a lower cover crop seeding rate root biomass.
This heavy root biomass is unseen but the microbes will break it down and they require N to do that, initially if enough root zone N is not available we may see nitrate depression in the field in the critical early stages of growth of the corn.
So for corn an adequate starter fertilizer application needs to be applied here because forage planting rates of root biomass are typically much more than cover crop planting rates of root biomass.
With Soybeans this is typically not the same issue.
Also my experience has been that a long term no-tilled field with organic matter buildup is more forgiving than a shorter term no-till field. This is because the top 4 inches of soil are more active (we call this our soil health) and decomposition of the root materials takes place more efficiently as a result.
In some cases with planting corn after rye and after triticale I have seen an alleopathic effect (grass after grass) This is difficult to measure and varies year to year, also some of this is intensified if we have low levels of available N in the seed zone for seedling development.
For these reasons, I would recommend no-tilling soybean instead of corn. But No-tilling corn into rye, either green or a rolled down mat is achievable.
Roll the tall rye in the same direction as you plan to no-till plant.
Older no-till 4 row planters typically aren't designed for no-tilling into these heavier rolled down mats (especially dry rye straw) Comparatively legume mats (hairy vetch, crimson clover) are easier to cut into compared to straw rye, but still can be challenging.
Remember we are cutting through a rolled down mat above the soil surface and we are cutting through a significant root mass in the soil which hasn't broken down, combined this can give us a lot of resistance.
On older 4-row John Deere conservation planters you typically need to add weight. I've added 1 or 2 (90-pound) suitcase weights on each of the planter units (In the insecticide box or mounted otherwise on the unit) to get enough ballast. On a 4-row Kinze planter we had 150-pound weights attached to each planting unit to give ballast.
With the newer and larger no-till planters with more row units we have heavier tool bars and we gain weight.
Some newer planters have hydraulic down pressure, some older planters have been retrofitted with rubber pneumatic units to give us adequate downward pressure on the planting units.
Row cleaners to move straw residue aside for double disk openers to follow and form a deep enough seed furrow.
Plant corn seed at two inches! We need to check this and adjust the depth gage wheels. The heavier the mat, the higher our depth gauge wheels are riding above the soil surface, and not cutting into the soil as deep because we are riding on top of the mat. We need to adjust the depth gauge wheels to make sure we are making our seed furrow deep enough. This is achieved by adjusting the depth gauge wheels and having enough ballast on the planting unit.
Finally, we need to achieve good seed to soil contact in the seed furrow.
Typically the lighter rubber coated closing wheels are not always aggressive enough to get a good seed furrow closing when dealing with a heavy cover crop residue or mat. This is a function of both ballast and design. We typically need a more aggressive closing wheel.
In some cases we changed the rubber wheels with cast iron closing wheels, in some cases a dual finger closing wheel or dual shark tooth type closing wheels or one on one side and flat wheel on the other side.
Depending on the clay percentage of the soil and the moisture level under the cover crop we may cut open the seed furrow and have it left open as a Vee. We need to look carefully at this and make sure we are closing the seed furrow adequately to accomplish seed to soil contact.
This open Vee seed furrow also can create an advantageous environment for slugs to stay cool and moist and I've seen them go right down the furrow below the soil surface level eating the corn seedlings.

Google on Thursday launched a startup initiative in Kabul aimed at assisting entrepreneurs, especially the youth, in Afghanistan.
Program officials from Google's Startup Grind said at the launch that efforts are also underway to standardize businesses in the country – which will be in addition to helping those wanting to start small and medium-sized businesses.
Based in Silicon Valley Startup Grind is the largest independent startup community, actively educating, inspiring, and connecting 215,000 founders in over 185 cities.
Startup Grind nurtures startup ecosystems in 70 countries through events, media, and partnerships with organizations like Google for Entrepreneurs.
In a statement, Google said: "We believe by nurturing a startup ecosystem in Afghanistan, especially in big cities, we will be able to support the economic growth of the country by reducing the unemployment rate to a wider percentage, as more startups means more jobs."
They went on to say: "We believe this is an outstanding piece of news about Afghanistan in this critical situation; which presents Afghanistan's new entrepreneurial spirit at a global level."
The program will assist entrepreneurs to roll out their start up ideas.
"We will provide technical assistance to entrepreneurs and those who have a business idea to start. We know at the moment there are lots of problems but we are trying to provide work opportunities for the youth," said Fahim Dedar the program head.
Meanwhile, a number of students who have ideas for start-ups have welcomed the move and said the launch of this program in Afghanistan will also pave the way for standardizing businesses in the country.
"We are very happy with the program, you know that now days most of our businessmen are professionals," said Taiba Amiri Afghanistan American university student.
"I will try to implement a business idea with the help of this program so I can serve the people," said Zarbat Rustam Khail, one hopeful entrepreneur.

Bambinos Battling with Express to Keep Nate Williamson
The last time Nate Williamson was on the JAL field he was raising the WWCD Cup and being crowned league MVP, all in a Bambinos uniform. That was JAL 13, the season before last, and a lot has changed.
Now the word "mega-team" is starting to get tossed around...
If Nate were to leave the Bambinos for the Express (which is starting to sound like more and more of real possibly) then that would certainly be an appropriate way to describe to describe them.
Several teams have been confirmed or rumored to trying to get a piece of the action, but multiple sources are claiming today that his looming free agency decision now excludes everyone but the Bambinos and Express.
For now the Bambinos are probably still considered the favorite to win this tug-of-war, but it's reportedly starting to swing the other way. Earlier today Cowlitz co-owner Brian Whitten even went as far as to say the team will be alright if he switches sides of the rivalry, when asked about how negotiations are going.
Those words don't mean it's over, but the statement is lacking much more confidence in the situation than it has previously and even sounds a little coincided.
As for the Express, owner Garrett Blain boastfully says he's feeling good about it, but did not wish to say anything further.
Neither team wished to share the details of the offer that they will be putting on the table for Williamson this Sunday when free agency opens up, but both say they've been in contact with him.
The good news for each team is that even if they don't win him, they'll no doubt still be picked to go deep in JAL 15.
The Bambinos discovered a potential future MVP pitcher in Colton Titus last season and the Express are the defending champs behind Kyle Godinho. They both have star players that can get the job done. Now it's just about who gets to have the bonus star power, or perhaps more importantly, who doesn't.

The Fan Soundtrack Project was a themed music challenge community on Livejournal. It revolves around the posting of monthly themes for which participants create and post fan soundtracks. Although the challenge originated from within the anime and manga fannish communities, people from across all fandoms have since joined the project, as can be seen from community memory list. The community boasts over 6,300 members as of November 16th 2011.
Although the challenge started as an activity for the members of Tin's friendlist, the livejournal community Fan Soundtrack Project was later created to share the results of this challenge with everyone. The first round had almost thirty submissions and mostly focused on anime and manga. On the first day of the challenge, represented source texts included Cardcaptor Sakura, Honor Harrington, Yami no Matsuei, and Fruits Basket.
For the second round, the challenge was to create book-themed soundtracks. The community would go on to maintain the rotation of monthly challenges, using themes like "video games," "character," or "pairing." There were also "request" months where members of the community could leave prompts for FSTs they wanted to see and other members could claim them. It was also fairly common for two members to collaborate together on compiling an FST.
Despite being a seemingly straightforward challenge, the Fan Soundtrack Project has dealt with its share of criticisms over the years.
Because the community began before the proliferation of free hosting services like Megaupload or Sendspace, the community initially organized informal matching between FST-makers who needed web space and other members who were willing to host their FSTs. Many participants found this process tedious and began to rely on the use of YouSendIt. As the community increased in size, however, the download links for files hosted on this service would become dead in a matter of days as YouSendIt was a service intended to share files among a small group of friends, not with over a thousand people on an internet community.
The complications encouraged the revival of the FST-maker and host matching process. Less informal in its second iteration, a community mod organized the matches on a monthly basis until the increase of other free hosting services made it no longer necessary.
The community also had problems with bandwidth stealing in which download links for music files were hotlinked on other sites and messageboards. This led to the community becoming members only and setting a guideline discouraging people from distributing the direct links. Unfortunately, this did little to curb the problem.
Several people complained that the themed challenge nature of the Fan Soundtrack Project was elitist and restrictive since fan soundtracks not related to the monthly theme were disallowed in the community. As a result, some members created the Fanmix community on Livejournal.
dot_fst_snark is an offshoot community created by members of the main community who wanted a place where they could mock poorly made FSTs.

En logique mathématique, la satisfaisabilité ou satisfiabilité et la validité sont des concepts élémentaires de sémantique. Une formule est satisfaisable s'il est possible de trouver une interprétation (modèle), une façon d'interpréter tous les éléments constitutifs de la formule, qui rend la formule vraie. Une formule est universellement valide, ou en raccourci valide si, pour toutes les interprétations, la formule est vraie. Les concepts opposés sont la non satisfaisabilité ou insatisfaisabilité et la non-validité : une formule est insatisfaisable si aucune de ses interprétations ne rend la formule vraie et non valide s'il existe une interprétation qui rend la formule fausse.

Les quatre concepts peuvent être appliqués aux théories. Ainsi une théorie est satisfaisable s'il existe une interprétation qui rend chacun des axiomes de la théorie vrai, non satisfaisable si toute interprétation rend l'un des axiomes faux.

La satisfaisabilité en théorie des modèles
En théorie des modèles (de la logique du premier ordre), une formule écrite dans un certain langage, défini par une signature, s'interprète dans une structure sur cette même signature. Une formule peut contenir des variables libres.  On dit alors qu'une formule est satisfaisable dans une structure s'il existe des éléments de l'ensemble de base de cette structure qui, substitués à ses variables libres, rendent la formule vraie. Une formule est satisfaisable quand elle est satisfaisable dans une certaine structure.

Si A est une structure, φ une formule, et a une collection d'éléments de l'ensemble de base de cette structure, qui satisfont φ, alors on note
A ⊧ φ [a].
Si φ est une formule close satisfaite par A, c'est-à-dire qu'elle n'a pas de variable libre, alors on écrit simplement :
A ⊧ φ.
Dans ce cas, on peut aussi dire que A est un modèle pour φ, ou que φ est vraie dans A. Si T est un ensemble de formules (une théorie en somme) satisfaite par A, on écrit
A ⊧ T.
La définition formelle de la satisfaction d'une formule dans une structure, pour une certaine interprétation des variables libres dans cette formule, procède récursivement à partir de la définition de la satisfaction des formules atomiques.

Chalk shore platform erosion in the vicinity of sea defence structures and the impact of construction methods
Uwe Dornbusch*, David A. Robinson, Rendel B.G. Williams, Cherith A. Moses
Erosion of the intertidal chalk platform in the vicinity of groynes and seawalls is evident to the naked eye along many stretches of the engineered coastline of southeast England, leading to undermining and eventually failure of these structures. However, quantification of the magnitude and spatial extent of the erosion has been difficult to date because of a lack of data about the past elevation of the platform. The application of softcopy photogrammetry makes it possible to recreate past platform elevations from historic air photographs and to compare these with elevations from modern air photographs. Coastal sea defence structures have been installed along the chalk coast east of Brighton at various dates over the past 70 years. During this period, the construction methods have changed from predominantly manual labour to a reliance on heavy machines. The analysis of erosion patterns around structures built since the 1970s using heavy machinery show that surface lowering is 4 to 25 times greater in the vicinity of these structures than across the platform as a whole. In contrast, there is no similar pattern of increased erosion around structures built using predominantly manual labour in the 1930s. A four fold increase in average surface lowering is found also along a vehicle trackway that crosses the mid platform. Depressions developed by enhanced lowering in the front of seawalls generate their own dynamic of increased erosion by trapping pebbles and cobbles that enhance the abrasion of the chalk through bedload transport under standing waves in front of the walls.

I never planned to be a writer. I always had a talent for storytelling and everyone said I was a very good writer when I was younger and in school. I got the calling to become an author in 1997 at nineteen. I got my first computer and from that point on it was like an invisible gate of fate opened up for me. I got the idea for a story and began writing it. I fell in love with writing and realized it was my purpose.
I released my first book, "Divas of the New Millennium" in 2005. It's a compilation biography book focusing on some of today's hottest female singers. "Everlasting" (2007) is a Latino love story centered on inner city teens dealing with real love and violence. Simon and Schuster published it. "Melody" (2008), also published by Simon and Schuster, is a suspense/thriller mystery centering on a young woman who goes to extreme lengths to prove that her sister's new boyfriend is not who he seems to be. I've won awards for all three releases including two 2007 YGA awards for "Everlasting" and two 2008 YGA awards for "Melody".
A play version of melody is in the works. How did this come about?
A popular playwright here in Houston heard I was looking to make my books into films. He approached me with an interest in Melody and explained that he wanted to do a play of the book. It started from there and now a play is in the works.
Do you see your books becoming films one day? If so, did you think about this whilst writing them?
I definitely see my books being films one day. No I really didn't think about that while writing them but I daydreamed how interesting it would be to see my characters come to life. I think all authors do at some point.
You've been nominated for several awards over the years. Has this helped your book sales?
Honestly I don't know. Winning awards is a part of promotion and publicity and you never know which part of that publicity actually helps with sales. I do know that winning awards brings an author prestige and personally makes me very proud. It's a good feeling when someone feels your book is worth that sort of recognition. Awards definitely increase popularity and they do impress readers and so I do believe they influence buyers. Readers pay attention to books that have won awards because they wonder what was so special about that book that it received that honor.
If you had to pick just 3 ways to promote your writing, which would you choose and why?
I would say book reviews, interviews and online promotion. Every writer needs book reviews. Book reviews are the number one form of promotion for authors. Even a bad review is good for a writer because every time you get a review your book is being exposed to another reader. Interviews are great because they allow readers to get close to authors. Online promotion is the best because there are no limits to the promotion you can accomplish. I've also done book signings but honestly I do not find them effective. These days it seems more trouble to put together a signing then what it is worth. I feel that as long as you promote some kind of way and get your books out there then you're on the right track. Different things work best for different authors. The key is being devoted to promotion and doing the best you can with it.
I would like fans and potential readers of Melody to know that the detectives in the story, Brianna and Steven will have their own series! The detectives have a lot of fans already and I am excited about this series. I know readers will be too. I am anticipating the release of the first installment to be my next book. Stay tuned for details.

#weekendvibes: who's your CRUSH?
Weekend it's here and weekends are for fun. This #weekendvibes has gathered this week's events from a funnier perspective and put into a visual that tells the whole story on it's own.
From earlier days, everyone has pushed the stereotype portraying women as bad drivers, but as any dude who has even bought car insurance knows, men pay more for car insurance because providers prefer female drivers. Over the course of his lifetime, CBS News reports, a man could pay $15,000 more for driver's insurance than a woman.
These statistics may seem rooted in another stereotype as bad as "women suck at driving," but the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and other organisations all have records of men causing more road accidents than women.
The IIHS, a nonprofit created by car insurance companies to decrease accidents, compiled 2015 accident date based on gender.
"Men typically drive more miles than women and more often engage in risky driving practices including not using safety belts, driving while impaired by alcohol, and speeding," the study said. "Crashes involving male drivers often are more severe than those involving female drivers. However, females are more likely than males to be killed or injured in crashes of equal severity, although gender differences in fatality risk diminish with age."
Men cause 6.1 million accidents per year and women cause 4.4 million per year (National Highway Safety Administration)
105.7 million women and 104.3 million men have drivers licenses (University of Michigan's Transportation Research Institute)
On average, men drive 16,550 miles and women drive 10,142 miles per year ( Federal Highway Administration)
So men account for roughly 1.73^12 miles driven per year, while women drive a combined total of 1.07^12 miles per year.
That means men drive about 30 percent more miles than women. Yet, they're implicated in slightly less than 30 percent of car accidents. Men do cause more accidents, but they are actually less at-risk than women, by a small margin.

Dr. Dumonski was born and raised in Connecticut. Prior to joining Guilford Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center in 2010, he gained extensive and diverse experience in the field of spine surgery.
Dr. Dumonski specializes in surgical and non-surgical conditions related to the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine, and is board-certified in orthopaedic surgery. His surgical expertise includes spinal decompressive procedures, routine and complex spinal fusions, minimally invasive procedures, as well as motion preservation procedures such as artificial disc replacement. Prior to joining Guilford Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Center in 2010, he proudly trained at the country's highest-regarded spine institutions. After completing his undergraduate training and medical school at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Dumonski completed his orthopaedic residency at Rush University in Chicago, IL. There, as chief resident, he was awarded "Resident Teacher of the Year" by his peers, a clear reflection of his ongoing commitment to ensuring every patient a full and thorough understanding of his or her spinal condition and its associated treatment options. After residency, Dr. Dumonski dedicated an additional year of training at a spine surgery fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA. There, he gained valuable experience in diverse and complex conditions of the spine, again training with the world's leading spine surgeons. Throughout residency and fellowship, Dr. Dumonski has had the unique distinction of training extensively with both orthopaedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons, and as a result, is uniquely able to approach any given patient from both perspectives. Over the course of his practice at Guilford Orthopaedics, Dr. Dumonski has become well-known for his exceptional bedside manner and patient outcomes.
Dr. Dumonski and his high-school sweetheart moved to North Carolina in 2010, and they have absolutely loved every aspect of living in the region ever since. An avid athlete, Dr. Dumonski particularly enjoys running and has completed 14 marathons. He also regularly plays drums with the worship team at Daystar Church in Greensboro. When he's not treating patients, exercising, or leading worship, he will very likely be found in Summerfield with his wife, Wendy, their twin girls, Alexa and Brianna, and his son, Zachary.

Over the next six years, U of T-affiliated researchers will receive about $23 million from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) to develop mentoring and training initiatives. The $88-million CIHR Strategic Training Initiative in Health Research, announced in June, will fund 51 projects across Canada on subjects ranging from genomics to health policy. Professors Patricia McKeever of nursing and Peter Coyte of health policy, management and evaluation received $1.7 million for their Health Care, Technology and Place program, which will provide intensive graduate-level training. The program will develop research tools to evaluate new health-care networks that have shifted from hospitals to the home or the Internet.

The two young salesladies were spectacular! Super friendly and educated us on the stamped, handpainted, serial number authentic work vs. factory brands. We bought several pieces because of the trust they provided. I highly recommend this store.
