Okay, here's the bottom line...
If you're releasing a package under a GPL-compatible license, then all
the elements in that theme need to be released under compatible
licenses as well. This isn't our restriction in particular, it's just
the way copyright law works. If somebody says that you can't do X with
their stuff, and you make a package with that in there and say that
you can do X with the package, then you have violated that person's
license. (Note: it's wholly different if you say that you can do X
except with some specific element. That would be okay as long as
you're abiding by the license of the included works.)
Now, in our directory, we require GPL-compatible themes. That's
"themes", as a whole package. This is best for our users (the people
who download and use the themes) because it gives them the same
freedoms we give them with WordPress itself. They're free to use,
adapt, modify, distribute, etc.
Because we care about the whole theme package, all the individual
elements in said theme must be compatible with this licensing as well.
And it is not in our best interests to help you, a theme author,
knowingly or unknowingly violate somebody else's license.
So regardless of what the author says in a tweet, or an email, or even
in person: if the actual terms of the license as given in the code or
on the website are not GPL-Compatible, then it is not allowed and
anything containing it will not be listed in the repository.
We expect people to respect the WordPress license, which means that we
must respect other people's licensing terms as well. Even if they give
permission, the word of the license as written takes precedence.
Now, you can use these people's works for one-off's, or for themes, or
for your own site, or whatever. That's up to you. We're only concerned
about what is in our theme repository. If you want to use that code
for other purposes not involving WordPress.org, then that's all up to
you, man. :)

India:Militarisation of Syria conflict would worsen crisis
United Nations: India has asked the international community to send a united message to the Syrian parties to give up their military approach, emphasising that further militarisation of the conflict will make a political solution more difficult and worsen the humanitarian crisis.
Condemning the violence and violations of human rights, India said it is "unfortunate" that neither side to the Syrian conflict has implemented its obligations under former international envoy Kofi Annan`s six-point peace plan, which was endorsed by the Security Council.
"Under the prevailing circumstances in Syria, there is an urgent need for the international community to close its ranks and send a united message to the Syrian parties to walk back from their military approach and resolve the crisis through an inclusive Syrian-led political process." Charge d`Affaires in the Permanent Mission of India to the UN Vinay Kumar said at a Security Council briefing on Syria yesterday.
"There is no other way to bring about a sustained cessation of violence in all its forms by all parties,"
Kumar said any further militarisation of the Syrian conflict would not only make a political solution more difficult to reach but also exacerbate the humanitarian crisis.
"Any militarisation of the humanitarian situation will worsen the security situation as well as humanitarian conditions for millions of Syrians, and must, therefore, be avoided," he added.
"Unfortunately, the Syrian parties, instead of seriously commencing a Syrian-led political process, have pursued a military approach to realise their objectives," he said.
Since the beginning of the crisis last year in March, the situation in Syria has been steadily deteriorating with nearly 17,000 people killed in the violence.
More than 2.5 million people are in the need of humanitarian assistance, while more than a million are internally displaced and more than 200,000 are refugees.
With the conflict getting increasingly militarised, the situation has been exploited by well-known terrorist groups, Kumar said.
India expressed concern over the terrorist acts that have been committed against state institutions and public infrastructure.
Continuing military operations by all sides have prevented timely and adequate delivery of humanitarian assistance to those in need, Kumar said adding that efforts of the international community have so far failed to address the crisis, which is increasingly affecting the region as a whole.
"We strongly condemn all violence and violations of human rights irrespective of who their perpetrators are. We also condemn in the strongest terms possible the terrorist acts that have been and continue to be committed in Syria," Kumar said.
India called upon all parties, both Syrian and foreign, to dissociate themselves from terrorist groups and ensure that no space or justification is provided for terrorist acts.
Kumar said India firmly believes it is critical for the UN to remain strongly engaged with the Syrian parties and other actors in the search for a way forward.
"Unilateral action of any kind will not resolve the crisis. It will only exacerbate the problem and cause greater instability and violence even beyond Syria`s borders," Kumar said.
While the international community should assist the Syrian parties, it is upto the people of Syria to decide on their leadership through a democratic process.
India welcomed the appointment of Lakhdar Brahimi as the new Joint Special Representative for Syria and urged all sides to cooperate with him with an aim to resolve the Syrian crisis without any further bloodshed.

Viscosupplementation provides symptomatic relief and delays the need for surgery. It is injected directly into the joint to replenish the diminished synovial fluid, thereby enhancing its lubricating properties. A single dose or a total of three separate doses of Synvisc, over several weeks, may be required for optimum benefit.

Лев XI (; в миру Алессандро Оттавиано Медичи, ; , , Тоскана — , ) — Папа Римский с 1 по 27 апреля 1605 года.

Биография

Происхождение
Четвёртый Папа Римский, носивший фамилию Медичи. Алессандро родился во Флоренции 2 июня 1535 года и был сыном Оттавиано Медичи и Франчески Сальвиати. С материнской стороны — внучатый племянник Льва X (через Сальвиати и свою бабку Лукрецию Медичи). Единокровный брат Бернардетто Медичи, принца Оттавьяно.

Церковная карьера
Алессандро служил в качестве посла Флоренции при дворе папы Пия V в 1569—1584 годах. Григорий XIII сделал его епископом Пистойи в 1573 году, а затем архиепископом Флоренции. В 1583 году он получил от папы кардинальскую шапку. Стал кардиналом 12 декабря 1583 года, в один день с Джамбаттистой Кастанья, Никколо Сфрондрати и Джованни Антонио Факинетти де Нуче, последовательно занимавших папский престол в XVI веке (соответственно: Урбан VII, Григорий XIV и Иннокентий IX). По стечению обстоятельств, никто из кардиналов, назначенных в этот день, не пробыл папой больше года.

В 1596 году папа Климент VIII отправил Алессандро в качестве папского легата во Францию, где он оставался до 1598 года, когда получил известие о своем назначении префектом Конгрегации епископов и каноников. Алессандро был другом и учеником святого Филиппа Нери.

Конклав и Папство

14 марта 1605 года, через одиннадцать дней после смерти Климента VIII, 62 кардинала начали конклав. Видное место среди кандидатов на папский престол занимали историк Цезарь Бароний и знаменитый иезуит Роберт Беллармин. Но Пьетро Альдобрандини, лидер итальянской фракции среди кардиналов, в союзе с французскими кардиналами, продвинули кандидатуру Алессандро Медичи — в пику испанскому королю Филиппу III. Как говорят, король Франции Генрих IV прислал 300 000 экю для продвижения кандидатуры кардинала Алессандро, приходившегося родственником обеим жёнам Генриха.
1 апреля 1605 года кардинал Медичи был избран Папой Римским. Он взял имя Лев XI в честь своего двоюродного деда Льва X.

Смерть
На момент избрания Льву было почти семьдесят лет, и он умер на 28-й день своего понтификата. Его смерть наступила в результате утомления и переохлаждения во время церемонии интронизации в Латеранской базилике. Его прозвали «Papa Lampo» — «Папа-молния» — из-за скоротечности его понтификата.

On Saturday, 15th March, 9 nine intrepid flyers from the UK's best known disability flying charity, Aerobility, came together to start the 2014 summer season touring group with style. The mission? – fly 2 aircraft from Blackbushe to Duxford and back, in a day, round some of the most demanding airspace in Europe.
The preparation had begun in the weeks before with phone calls back and forward to Duxford Air Traffic to negotiate a special permission to land our pioneering party whilst the airfield underwent some improvements to its control tower. Builders came and went and permission was slow to come but when it did come - the flying challenge began.
Chatter, coffee and excitement at the great weather fuelled the flight planning from 8 until 9.30 am. 2 aircraft were needed to get the nine of us there, 6 people up in G-CHFK – the Cherokee Six in splendid Aerobility Livery and 3 up in the new, leased PA28, G-HARN, only on its second day with the charity.
Both aircraft departed at 10am for the hour long flight to Duxford. Our route took us due north past White Waltham and Heathrow at our bumpy cruise altitude of 2,200ft, on to our first turning point of Marlow to past between Booker airfield and the Heathrow zone. On we went past Chesham to the left as London appeared to the right out of the lifting morning mist.
In the PA28, long-time Aerobility flyer Brian Jupp hand flew the leg with instructor Stuart Redman Lusher taking the radio and Stewart Clarke map reading in the rear seat. Suddenly, crackling across the radio came Aerobility instructor, Nick Glover who was Pilot in Command in the Cherokee 'Farnborough North, GCHFK, changing to Duxford 122.075'. It was good to hear the company traffic on the radio and nearly at Duxford because that meant they had safely navigated the narrow corridor between Panshanger and Stanstead, an aviation equivalent of the ancient pass at Thermopylae!
Back in the PA28, the same routing took us on through the gap 10 minutes after the Cherokee and we soon found ourselves looking for our entry point to the Duxford Circuit, the town of Royston. Stuart raised Duxford on the radio and we were given our airfield information and were soon on the runway and told to park on the apron where a pre-arranged bus was ready to take to our first objective – the cafe and secondly onto hangar 1 for our guided tour.
Suitably refreshed with tea, coffee and sausage rolls for some, new Aerobility flyer Richard Edwards offered to pay the landing fees and we all set off as a 'Magnificent 10' around hangar 1 with our tour guide. The story of early flight is housed here and we all saw an original canvas from of the Wright flyer and for the next 45 minutes we saw one of the best displays available in any UK aviation museum. Concorde was parked next to the Vulcan and a Comet 4 on BOAC colours. Overhead hung a wood framed, Merlin powered de Havilland Mosquito along with a late model RAF harrier and a Canberra, Nestled amongst the undercarriages of the bigger Lancaster and Shorts Sunderland we saw lesser known airplanes like the Airspeed Oxford and the similar looking Avro Anson.
The group of nine then dispersed for the remaining 2 hours of our visit across the other hangars with favourites amongst the group being the American air museum and Hangar 2 which housed the older aircraft still fit to fly. We reconvened at 3.30pm to brief and fly the return leg to Blackbushe.
The weather had settled when both the aircraft got airborne from the south westerly runway 24 at Duxford and a smooth, slightly shorter journey awaited us as we returned back to Blackbushe. Again the Cherokee 6 was first airborne piloted by Trish 'the Dish' Amess in her first flight in many months and first ever in the PA32. London was far more visible this time to the left of us and crew and passengers of both aircraft were able to pick out Wembley, The Shard and the Canary Wharf as we passed north of Watford and south of the Chess valley that seems to swallow Chesham when you look at it from the air. Turning south it was soon time to talk to Blackbushe and new pilot Richard performed some impressive straight and level flying in the PA28 for someone with 2 hours total time!
With both aircraft back at Blackbushe and the sun setting our band of flyers took care of the bill with the ever efficient/gorgeous Sue Dodds and enjoyed the 5th cup of tea of the day before we went our separate ways. Everyone left thinking of the next trip – and overnight to the Scilly Isles on Friday 16th May, just 7 weeks away!
My thanks go to Nick Glover for his expertise on the day, the amazing staff at Duxford for whom nothing was too much trouble, particularly the airfield manager Tom Turner for allowing the fly-in and finally all the Aerobility flying members for really making the day.
If you wish to be included in the Aerobility Touring Group for this summer please email stuart@aerobility.com to add yourself to the flight you wish to be part of. Everyone is welcome, from non-flyers to highly experienced.

Haunted Places To Visit In Bangalore If You Are Up For A Chilling Adventure
The answer to the question "Are ghosts real?" is not a black and white one. We cannot give a definite answer – owing to both scientific evidence and many, many stories. There are many haunted places to visit in Bangalore, from empty houses, busy roads, to even airports and hospitals. So, if you are in town and want to find out for yourself, here are all the haunted places in Bangalore you should be visiting.
Kalpalli Cemetery
Image Source: Google.com
Located on Old Madras Road, this cemetery is known to make people uneasy and restless. Many have said they saw a mysterious man lurking near the graves who disappears when you go near him. Few others have talked about how difficult it is to breathe above certain graves, as the air is way too thick and heavy around them. Some people speculate that all of this is due to the lack of adequate space and so many cremations going on each day. Whatever the reason, this cemetery meets all the expectations people generally have from them.
Terra Vera
If you see someone who likes gruesome backstories for places like these, Terra Vera will not disappoint you. It is one of the most Mysterious places in Bangalore. Two sisters – Dolce and Vera used to live in a house made by their father. They were both teachers and lived on their own, and never got married. One day, an unidentified man came in and murdered Vera right in front of her sister. She was asked to move away due to security reasons, and she left behind all the precious belongings. Many have gone inside to click photos, but their batteries go dead and images come out corrupted – not to forget stray sounds of a piano, random faces, and screams, etc. The demolition of the house a few years ago and the way the case is still unsolved may have led to more anguish and anger in the spirit living there.
Kempegowda International Airport, Devanahalli
The ghosts at this airport are known to disappear asking for help, float around on the runway, etc. Many staff members have shared their stories full of horror. They saw a woman in a white sari who disappeared on them, and some saw a headless apparition near the elevators. A few times they have been captured on camera as well. It is a bit unusual to find a ghost in a place like this, and that too, headless ones. These instances add a spooky new side to the airport, making it one of the most haunted places to visit in Bangalore. If you are flying from this airport, stick to the places you need to be in and don't explore – you will be fine!
Victoria Hospital
Now, this ghost lives in the hospital and takes rounds every so often. Patients and staff alike are fed up with the ghost as it walks around all pale and scary, sometimes even resting on the trees around the hospital premises. Because of this, a lot of staff members have given up night shifts and only come to work during daylight hours. The other ghost of Victoria Hospital is said to walk around screaming and wailing. Some say that these hauntings have arisen due to the deaths that take place in a hospital. But then, that begs a simple question: why isn't every hospital on earth haunted?
The ghosts of Bangalore seem to have a thing for crowded and busy places – as opposed to the usual places where we expect them to be found, like lonely streets and deserted buildings.
MG Road is a hub for tourists, as there is so much to be done and seen here. Unfortunately, that list includes the ghost of a young woman too. She was killed in an accident by a drunk driver, and each year on the same date, people claim they hear painful screams and calls for help. All this happens near the road that leads to the call center, making it one of the horror places in Bangalore.
While some of us are scared beyond speech or movement when faced with the slightest possibility of a ghost, others actually look forward to these experiences. If you are someone who gets a kick out of such things, be sure to visit these places and tell the world what you saw and felt.

……be warned, this is what happens if you don't stack your records properly……


Those living in a colder climate can relate to the first time you see sprouts of green grass peek through the melting snow. Our hearts become lighter and we start dreaming of warmer weather. This green malachite gem perched atop a sterling cuff offers that same lightness and visions of happier days.
This sterling silver cuff is lightly textured all over with a spiral design. I added a sterling spiral to the center to further enhance the theme.
cuff is 1 1/4" wide. Size is 6 1/2" circumference with 1 1/2" opening.
Fits wrist sizes from 6" to 6 3/4". Find your wrist size using a tape measure.
packaged in a deluxe recycled box, satin pouch. and 'Sacred Spiral' romance card.
as a smaller, tight circle and expands quickly all the way to infinity!
Just like the spiral, each of our actions;a quick smile to a stranger or a kind word to a friend; seem like small gestures but the ripples of joy created is infinite!

Q: Clojure's disappearing reflection warnings A simple reflection warning example:
lein repl
user=> (set! *warn-on-reflection* true)
true
user=> (eval '(fn [x] (.length x)))
Reflection warning, NO_SOURCE_PATH:1:16 - reference to field length can't be resolved.
#object[user$eval2009$fn__2010 0x487ba4b8 "user$eval2009$fn__2010@487ba4b8"]

I want to make this into a function. But where do reflection warnings go?
//clojure/compile.java 63
RT.errPrintWriter()
                .format("Reflection warning, %s:%d:%d - reference to field %s can't be resolved.\n",
                                SOURCE_PATH.deref(), line, column, fieldName);

//clojure/RT.java 269
public static PrintWriter errPrintWriter(){
    Writer w = (Writer) ERR.deref();

//clojure/RT.java 188
final static public Var ERR =
    Var.intern(CLOJURE_NS, Symbol.intern("*err*"),
               new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(System.err), true)).setDynamic();

Ok so they go to System.err. Lets capture it's output:
(def pipe-in (PipedInputStream.))
(def pipe-out (PipedOutputStream. pipe-in))
(System/setErr (PrintStream. pipe-out))

(defn reflection-check [fn-code]
  (binding [*warn-on-reflection* true]
    (let [x (eval fn-code)
          ;_ (.println (System/err) "foo") ; This correctly makes us return "foo".
          n (.available pipe-in)

          ^bytes b (make-array Byte/TYPE n)
          _ (.read pipe-in b)
          s (apply str (mapv char b))]
      s)))

However, calling it gives no warning, and no flushing seems to be useful:
(println "Reflection check:" (reflection-check '(fn [x] (.length x)))) ; no warning.

How can I extract the reflection warning?

A: You have correctly discovered how *err* is initialized, but since vars are rebindable this is no guarantee about its current value. The REPL often rebinds it to something else, e.g. a socket. If you want to redirect it yourself, you should simply rebind *err* to a Writer of your choosing.
Really I'm not sure your approach would work even if *err* were never rebound. The Clojure runtime has captured a pointer to the original value of System.err, and then you ask the Java runtime to use a new value for System.err. Clojure certainly won't know about this new value. Does the JRE maintain an extra level of indirection to allow it to do these swaps behind the scenes even for people who have already captured System.err? Maybe, but if so it's not documented.

A: I ran into a similar problem a while back and created some helper functions modelled on with-out-str.  Here is a solution to your problem:
(ns tst.demo.core
  (:use tupelo.core tupelo.test) )

(defn reflection-check
  [fn-code]
  (let [err-str (with-err-str
                  (binding [*warn-on-reflection* true]
                    (eval fn-code)))]
    (spyx err-str)))

(dotest
  (reflection-check (quote (fn [x] (.length x)))))

with result:
-------------------------------
   Clojure 1.10.1    Java 14
-------------------------------

err-str => "Reflection warning, /tmp/form-init3884945788481466752.clj:12:36
             - reference to field length can't be resolved.\n"

Note that binding and let forms can be in either order and still work.
Here is the source code:
 (defmacro with-err-str
   "Evaluates exprs in a context in which *err* is bound to a fresh
   StringWriter.  Returns the string created by any nested printing
   calls."
   [& body]
   `(let [s# (new java.io.StringWriter)]
      (binding [*err* s#]
        ~@body
        (str s#))))

If you need to capture the Java System.err stream, it is different:
 (defmacro with-system-err-str
   "Evaluates exprs in a context in which JVM System/err is bound to a fresh
   PrintStream.  Returns the string created by any nested printing calls."
   [& body]
   `(let [baos# (ByteArrayOutputStream.)
          ps#   (PrintStream. baos#)]
      (System/setErr ps#)
      ~@body
      (System/setErr System/err)
      (.close ps#)
      (.toString baos#)))

See the docs here.
There are 5 variants (plus clojure.core/with-out-str):

*

*with-err-str

*with-system-out-str

*with-system-err-str

*discarding-system-out

*discarding-system-err
Source code is here.

Read Martin Luther King Jr. on White America's Delusions
In 1967, the civil-rights leader foresaw that white resistance to racial equality would stiffen as activists' economic agenda grew more ambitious.
By Martin Luther King Jr.
KING Issue
Editor's Note: Read The Atlantic's special coverage of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy.
In early 1967, on vacation in Jamaica, King; his wife, Coretta; and two aides rented a house with no telephone. There he wrote the first draft of a book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, which described the opportunities for—and obstacles to—eradicating poverty at last. (Coretta wrote the foreword.) In this excerpt from the published book, King predicted that white resistance to racial equality would stiffen when the agenda moved on to far-costlier measures—improvements in jobs, schools, and housing.
Why is equality so assiduously avoided? Why does white America delude itself, and how does it rationalize the evil it retains?
The majority of white Americans consider themselves sincerely committed to justice for the Negro. They believe that American society is essentially hospitable to fair play and to steady growth toward a middle-class Utopia embodying racial harmony. But unfortunately this is a fantasy of self-deception and comfortable vanity. Overwhelmingly America is still struggling with irresolution and contradictions. It has been sincere and even ardent in welcoming some change. But too quickly apathy and disinterest rise to the surface when the next logical steps are to be taken. Laws are passed in a crisis mood after a Birmingham or a Selma, but no substantial fervor survives the formal signing of legislation. The recording of the law in itself is treated as the reality of the reform.
This limited degree of concern is a reflection of an inner conflict which measures cautiously the impact of any change on the status quo. As the nation passes from opposing extremist behavior to the deeper and more pervasive elements of equality, white America reaffirms its bonds to the status quo. It had contemplated comfortably hugging the shoreline but now fears that the winds of change are blowing it out to sea.
Explore the KING Issue
The practical cost of change for the nation up to this point has been cheap. The limited reforms have been obtained at bargain rates. There are no expenses, and no taxes are required, for Negroes to share lunch counters, libraries, parks, hotels and other facilities with whites. Even the psychological adjustment is far from formidable. Having exaggerated the emotional difficulties for decades, when demands for new conduct became inescapable, white Southerners may have trembled under the strain but they did not collapse.
Even the more significant changes involved in voter registration required neither large monetary nor psychological sacrifice. Spectacular and turbulent events that dramatized the demand created an erroneous impression that a heavy burden was involved.
The real cost lies ahead. The stiffening of white resistance is a recognition of that fact. The discount education given Negroes will in the future have to be purchased at full price if quality education is to be realized. Jobs are harder and costlier to create than voting rolls. The eradication of slums housing millions is complex far beyond integrating buses and lunch counters.
The assistant director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, Hyman Bookbinder, in a frank statement on December 29, 1966, declared that the long-range costs of adequately implementing programs to fight poverty, ignorance and slums will reach one trillion dollars. He was not awed or dismayed by this prospect but instead pointed out that the growth of the gross national product during the same period makes this expenditure comfortably possible. It is, he said, as simple as this: "The poor can stop being poor if the rich are willing to become even richer at a slower rate." Furthermore, he predicted that unless a "substantial sacrifice is made by the American people," the nation can expect further deterioration of the cities, increased antagonisms between races and continued disorders in the streets. He asserted that people are not informed enough to give adequate support to anti-poverty programs, and he leveled a share of the blame at the government because it "must do more to get people to understand the size of the problem."
The Case for Reparations
King Wanted More Than Just Desegregation
Eve L. Ewing
Is Big Business Really That Bad?
Robert D. Atkinson and Michael Lind
Let us take a look at the size of the problem through the lens of the Negro's status in 1967. When the Constitution was written, a strange formula to determine taxes and representation declared that the Negro was 60 percent of a person. Today another curious formula seems to declare he is 50 percent of a person. Of the good things in life he has approximately one-half those of whites; of the bad he has twice those of whites. Thus, half of all Negroes live in substandard housing, and Negroes have half the income of whites. When we turn to the negative experiences of life, the Negro has a double share. There are twice as many unemployed. The rate of infant mortality (widely accepted as an accurate index of general health) among Negroes is double that of whites. The equation pursues Negroes even into war … [From early 1965 to early 1966,] twice as many Negro soldiers died in action (20.6 percent) in proportion to their numbers in the population.
In other spheres the figures are equally alarming. In elementary schools Negroes lag one to three years behind whites, and their segregated schools receive substantially less money per student than do the white schools. One-twentieth as many Negroes as whites attend college, and half of these are in ill-equipped Southern institutions.

CCOC completed construction of the Beaver Barracks project in the summer of 2012. At 254 units in five buildings it was the largest project we've ever undertaken, and it came in on time and on budget.
Mixed with the feelings of pride and satisfaction of completing the award-winning flagship project was a tinge of bereavement. The gear down from the frenetic pace of development was abrupt, and CCOC had no other projects ready to start. CCOC and Cahdco staff and boards shared this feeling, and used it to spark discussions about how Cahdco can be a catalyst for affordable housing growth.
Over the course of 2013, Cahdco re-started the defunct New Supply Committee of the Ottawa Social Housing Network. With a small annual stream of funds flowing through the Investing in Affordable Housing program, we saw an opportunity to bring together housing providers and support agencies for open dialogue, networking and partnership development. Although as businesses we are competing for funding, the goals of the dozens of participants are the same: to meet the needs of low income and vulnerable residents of our city.
Out of these discussions and others going on across the city, Cahdco helped found the Broadening the Base (BtB) initiative, and we lead the Design Circle on Impact Investing. BtB has set bold goals of catalyzing and leveraging land, property, philanthropic and development resources to support the building of 1,500 new affordable housing units over the next five years; to provide sustainable, long term and affordable accommodation for key vulnerable populations including: individuals who are chronically homeless; low income families with young children; youth at risk; Aboriginal people, and vulnerable seniors.
In 2014, the Cahdco board went through a visioning exercise and created a bold new vision. In addition to developing affordable housing for CCOC and other housing providers, Cahdco expanded its mission to include social purpose real estate. Now in addition to pursuing CCOC development and supporting other non-profits, Cahdco will support other social purpose real estate projects and create our own Cahdco projects. Our goal is to have at least 150 homes in active development each year.
These ambitious goals can only be accomplished with a dynamic and creative team. Project leaders Melissa Estable and Jasmine Tranter bring professional experience in architecture and planning, and a heavy dollop of brain power. The keen energy and attention to detail provided by Kiefer Maracle keeps everything running smoothly, and the full team is backstopped by many decades of construction and development experience from Dennis Carr and Tim Terrell.
As we were drafting this plan things started happening really quickly. In our first full year of operations, working with Ottawa Salus and Multifaith Housing Initiative we have 140 homes in construction. Cahdco has its first non-traditional housing client with Carefor, and we have partnered with private developers to help create affordable housing and social purpose real estate as part of their projects.
We have grown tremendously in this past year. We have added staff. We moved to a new office at the CCOC Beaver Barracks. And we are changing the streetscapes of our city. Cahdco is becoming the social change developer that Ottawa needs, and we will take every opportunity to share our knowledge and stories with others.
Welcome to the rebirth of Cahdco. Your partner in developing social purpose real estate, creating new affordable homes and helping you achieve your housing mission.

Q: What happened to the metadata object in IBM's Natural Language Understanding? I used to work with IBM's Natural Language Understanding API for analyzing URLs. I am using Python's IBM Watson SDK 5.1 on Python 3.8.
I successfully used the code below [all approprioate options have been imported] to extract metadata, in addition to entities, concepts, etc:
def NLU_analysis(url):
try:
    response = natural_language_understanding.analyze(
        url=url, return_analyzed_text=True, clean=True, language=True,
        features=Features(keywords=KeywordsOptions(limit=10),
                          entities=EntitiesOptions(limit=10),
                          concepts=ConceptsOptions(limit=5),
                          metadata=MetadataOptions(),
                          categories=CategoriesOptions(limit=5))).get_result()
    return response
except:
    pass

The code above used to return the metadata. Now, in Python SDK 5.1.0, IBM recently changed to way to retrieve the URL's metadata. The "MetadataOptions" feature has been replaced by "FeatureMetadataResults". If I use the code above and replace the MetadataOptions by FeatureMetadataResults as shown below:
def NLU_analysis(url):
try:
    response = natural_language_understanding.analyze(
        url=url, return_analyzed_text=True, clean=True, language=True,
        features=Features(keywords=KeywordsOptions(limit=10),
                          entities=EntitiesOptions(limit=10),
                          concepts=ConceptsOptions(limit=5),
                          metadata=FeaturesResultsMetadata(),
                          categories=CategoriesOptions(limit=5))).get_result()
    return response
except:
    pass

Now, if I run the modified code, I get the following error message:
"TypeError: Object of type FeaturesResultsMetadata is not JSON serializable"
If I read IBM's documentation, I am getting somewhat confused (Link to the API documentation. Here's the IBM's code example:
import json
from ibm_watson import NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator
from ibm_watson.natural_language_understanding_v1
    import Features, MetadataOptions

authenticator = IAMAuthenticator('{apikey}')
natural_language_understanding = NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1(
    version='2020-08-01',
    authenticator=authenticator
)

natural_language_understanding.set_service_url('{url}')

response = natural_language_understanding.analyze(
    url='www.ibm.com',
    features=Features(metadata=MetadataOptions())).get_result()

Does anyone know whether it is still possible to retrieve an URL's metadata using IBM Watson's Natural Language Understanding API?
Have a nice day!

A: It appears that the sample in IBM's API-documentation is incorrect.
The code below has been pasted as plain text, to be able to strike through obsolete elements in IBM's sample code.
import json
from ibm_watson import NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1
from ibm_cloud_sdk_core.authenticators import IAMAuthenticator
from ibm_watson.natural_language_understanding_v1

import Features, MetadataOptions
authenticator = IAMAuthenticator('{apikey}')
natural_language_understanding = NaturalLanguageUnderstandingV1(
    version='2020-08-01',
    authenticator=authenticator
)

natural_language_understanding.set_service_url('{url}')

response = natural_language_understanding.analyze(
    url='www.ibm.com',

features=Features(metadata=MetadataOptions() {} )).get_result()
print(json.dumps(response, indent=2))

So for requesting the metadata object, just provide an empty dictionary (metadata={})
Enjoy your day!

These mighty Norse warriors fought with a frenzy that seems all but inexplicable.
For centuries, the Norse Berserker warriors have been regarded with a sort of mystique. They were said to fight like crazed animals, out of their minds, fearless, contemptuous of friend or foe, virtually undefeatable in combat. We get our modern English word berserk from them, meaning "violently or destructively frenzied; wild; crazed; deranged". A whole mythology has arisen surrounding the berserkers: Who were they? What was the true nature of their berserking? What was the source of their ability? Today we're going to don iron helmets and cast ourselves into the abyss of battle, and encounter the real berserkers.
Theories abound about how the berserkers got so berserk. Did they simply get really drunk before going into battle? Was it some kind of trance? One of the more popular explanations is that they took a form of hallucinogenic mushroom. But before we look into the theoretical, let's look at the factual. What do we actually know about the berserkers, and how do we know it?
The berserkers are known from their numerous mentions and descriptions in the sagas, the epic Icelandic stories of Vikings written in Old Norse, primarily in the 10th through the 14th centuries. The word comes from ber-serkr, usually interpreted to mean bear shirt, as in wearing a bearskin for a shirt. Less popular interpretations have been no shirt, or animal skin, basically meaning no armor. Regardless, the net result is the same. Berserkers were generally described as wearing no armor or mailcoats, and wearing the head or pelt of a bear, wolf, or boar either on their head directly or on a helmet. Such costumes have long been used as a battle strategy to invoke terror; and indeed, the most famous appearance of berserkers in the sagas was as shock troops employed by King Harald Fairhair, the first King of Norway, circa the year 900.
Thorkelin, in his essay on the Berserkir, appended to his edition of the Kristni-Saga, tells us that an old name of the Berserk frenzy was hamremmi, i.e., strength acquired from another or strange body, because it was anciently believed that the persons who are liable to this frenzy were mysteriously endowed, during its accesses, with a strange body of unearthly strength. If, however, the Berserk was called on by his own name, he lost his mysterious form, and his ordinary strength alone remained.
It is clear, therefore, continues Thorkelin, that the state of men laboring under the Berserk frenzy was held by some, at least, to resemble that of those, who, whilst their own body lay at home apparently dead or asleep, wandered under other forms into distant places and countries. Such wanderings were called hamfarir by the old northmen; and were held to be only capable of performance by those who had attained the very utmost skill in magic.
And such is the direction taken by much 19th and 20th century research on the berserkers. I'm not going to follow that thread today, but it's out there if you want to pursue it independently. There is a somewhat interesting history of how the berserkers may have informed modern folklore about shapeshifters and associated magic. It's their actual abilities and nature that we're going to focus on today.
Men rushed forwards without armour, were as mad as dogs or wolves, bit their shields, and were strong as bears or wild bulls, and killed people at a blow, but neither fire nor iron told upon themselves. These were called Berserker.
How could ordinary men become so supernaturally vicious? Most modern explanations for berserkergang invoke the hallucinogenic Fly Agaric mushroom, Amanita muscaria. I find this a poor theory, for three reasons. First, with all the discussion of berserkergang in the sagas, there is never once a mention of eating or drinking anything to trigger it. It just happened, spontaneously. Second, there are analogs for berserkergang in many cultures around the world, and no mushrooms (or anything else) are needed to trigger those either. It's called amok syndrome in Malay and Indonesian cultures, giving us our word amok. It's mal de pelea in Puerto Rico, grisi siknis in Central America, and simply the "fits" in India. Even the Inuit have something called pibloktoq, thought to be triggered by the stress of the long winter nights. No mushrooms are available on the ice. And third, the mushroom theory is very poorly sourced. It was suggested by the Swedish theologian Samuel Ödmann in 1784, based on stories about Siberian shamans using it for visions. There was never anything to connect the mushrooms to the Vikings or to any behavior similar to berserkergang. It is a theory devoid of evidence or plausibility, yet it remains the most often repeated.
...and would have killed him too, but for the interference of a servant woman, whom he killed instead, by throwing a boulder at her. Considering Skallagrim's history of hand-to-hand combat, forced upon him by his station in life, a psychologist today wouldn't even have to think twice to say "Posttraumatic Stress Disorder". Skallagrim's violence against his family and friends for no reason is a classic dissociative reaction, beyond his control, triggered by something in the play.
Men who were thus seized performed things which otherwise seemed impossible for human power. This condition is said to have begun with shivering, chattering of the teeth, and chill in the body, and then the face swelled and changed its colour. With this was connected a great hot-headedness, which at last gave over into a great rage, under which they howled as wild animals, bit the edge of their shields, and cut down everything they met without discriminating between friend or foe. When this condition ceased, a great dulling of the mind and feebleness followed, which could last for one or several days.
Another important clue is Fabing's mention that berserkers did not seem to know friend from foe. This is found in a number of places in the sagas, and so, evidently, was a common feature of the mania. During a dissociative episode, the person often does not know where they are, or recognize people, or retain any memory of the episode. It is a key piece of evidence that PTSD is indeed a likely cause of what history has termed a berserkergang.
Your airways relax to maximize breathing capacity, and metabolism increases. Your muscles go into glycolysis, which produces energy-rich molecules fueling them for extraordinary action. While blood flow to the muscles is increased, blood flow to vulnerable extremities is decreased. Endorphins are produced in the brain as a natural pain killer. Peripheral vision turns into tunnel vision to minimize distractions. Reflexes and reaction times improve. Non-critical functions like digestion and sexual function slow or even stop.
It is the complete set of skills a warrior in berserkergang needs. It's what one needs to throw Hallvard overboard by the axe buried in his head. It's what one needs to fight a battle with an apparent imperviousness to injury and pain.
Saga historians have noted that being a berserker and the act of berserkergang are two different things. In the sagas, the act of berserkergang is mentioned more often, and usually in different places, than are actual berserkers. We might interpret this to mean that going berserk is something that was well known, which, if we accept the theory that PTSD was involved, would certainly be the case in a culture that was so frequently engaged in violent combat. We might further hypothesize that, in recognition of the fact that this seemed to happen a lot to many warriors, certain of them became anointed as berserkers, and regarded as specially talented. It is not an unreasonable conclusion for a pre-scientific society to reach. And, once you have a subclass of warriors with a special name known for a special ability, identified by bearskins, there you have a springboard for all the shapeshifter mythology that followed. Again, not a horrible interpretation by prescientific people struggling to explain how men could suddenly act so differently.
Could it be that the mighty berserkers of Viking sagas were nothing more or less than ordinary men suffering from a very real psychological disorder? The evidence does indeed seem to fit; each box is checked all the way down the list. The life of a warrior armed with horrible weapons like axes and longswords could not have been a very happy one, and it could just be that the berserkers were merely those who felt it most keenly. Might they have been more deserving of our sympathy than of our fear?

New Zealand to ease Auckland domestic border curbs in mid-Dec
Domestic borders around New Zealand's largest city Auckland will reopen from Dec. 15 for fully vaccinated people and those with negative COVID-19 test results, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Wednesday. Auckland is the epicentre of an outbreak of the infectious Delta variant of the COVID-19 and been locked off from the rest of the country for over 90 days now. But with more than 80% of Auckland and the rest of country fully vaccinated it was time to open up the ability to travel again, Ardern said at a news conference.

Q: Creating a flicker-free text box that can be rapidly updated I'm trying to create a search tool and would like to display the results in a text box, much like the one contained in Visual Studio - this means that for long searches results will be appended to the end of the text box while the user is attempting to look at the results at the top of the text box.
At the moment I'm using a standard textbox, however it has many problems:

*

*The text box flickers madly while the search is in progress

*Its not possible for the user to scroll while results are being appended to the box

*Its not possible for the user to copy and paste results in the text box while results are being appended.

Are there any ways of working around these issues, or should I look into using another control / creating my own?

A: At first to access your TextBox while your search is running you should put your search into a BackgroundWorker and put the (intermediate) results with BeginInvoke() into your TextBox. So your GUI doesn't hang while your search is running.
Also you should use the TextBox.AppendText() method to add the text to your box. And if you want an auto-scroll use the two liner below after AppendText:
textBoxMessages.SelectionStart = textBoxMessages.Text.Length;
textBoxMessages.ScrollToCaret();

And if you want to enable/disable autoscroll you can before AppendText check if SelectionStart is equal to Text.Lenght and only if this is true make the above two liner after AppendText
Update
Ok, to get rid of that flickering there is no real solution within the textbox. When i mentioned right, you can give the RichTextBox a try, because it performs better with these scrolling problems.
Last but not least you can use ScintillaNET. I used it already several times and for these purposes it solves all the problems.
The only thing you can't do elegant by ScintillaNet (or better with Scintilla) is colorize manually a custom section. You have always to use a lexer which works with pre-defined formatting on a list of keywords.

A: Microsoft forgot to implement the Begin/EndUpdate() methods for TextBox.  You can add them yourself, it solves the problem.  You can't get rid of the flicker though.  Sample code:
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 {
    public partial class Form1 : Form {
        public Form1() {
            InitializeComponent();
            timer1.Interval = 10;
            timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
            button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click);
        }
        void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            int pos = textBox1.SelectionStart;
            int len = textBox1.SelectionLength;
            SendMessage(textBox1.Handle, 11, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);
            textBox1.AppendText(DateTime.Now.ToString() + Environment.NewLine);
            SendMessage(textBox1.Handle, 11, (IntPtr)1, IntPtr.Zero);
            //if (textBox1 is RichTextBox) textBox1.Invalidate();
            textBox1.SelectionStart = pos;
            textBox1.SelectionLength = len;
        }
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
            timer1.Enabled = !timer1.Enabled;
        }
        [DllImport("user32.dll")]
        private static extern IntPtr SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int msg, IntPtr wp, IntPtr lp);
    }
}

A: Textboxes are good for editable content -- are the search results editable?
If you're displaying results to a search, why don't you use a DataGrid?  You can design it to look however you want (it can look like a textbox with rows & rows of text)


FAIR & FIRM Retreat Series — FAIR & FIRM Therapy Retreats for Women with Connie Stapleton, Ph.D.
Each of my FAIR & FIRM Therapy Retreats are residential programs for women who are seeking to heal from a variety of issues they have encountered along their life's journey. As a therapist who has been through a great deal of personal therapy before and since going back to school to become a psychologist, I understand the enormous positive impact of attending intensive therapy retreats. Immersion in a supportive learning environment with the opportunity to work through the information being presented is a gift that provides recipients a lifetime of day-to-day benefits.
One of the things that is most important to me is that each participant becomes more familiar with, more consistent with, and more supportive of her unique, genuine self. For many of us, living through stressful childhood situations can result in abandoning our authentic self as the need for emotional protection becomes the priority. We stop speaking our truth, stop standing up for ourselves, and learn to cater to the needs of others at the exclusion of ourselves. In the retreats, we will identify ways in which our authentic self was stifled. We will address the issues that separated us from who we were born to be, and give ourselves permission to thrive as our authentic self in our adult lives. This is a core tenet of each FAIR & FIRM Therapy Retreat.
Because many of you will opt to attend more than one of the FAIR & FIRM Therapy Retreats, care will be given to provide a variety of options for the different therapeutic modalities. For example, different relaxation techniques will be presented at different retreats, although there will, of course, be some overlap. It wouldn't hurt any of us to learn the same healthy skills on annual basis anyway! That's a good idea… come to one of my different retreats each year!
physical exercise (outdoor walking on paved roads), swimming, yoga, stretching, resistance bands, etc.

The origins of Volvo Penta can be traced back as far as 1868, when the foundry and mechanical workshop Sköfde Gjuteri & Mekaniska Verkstad was founded. The company manufactured cast-iron goods and hardware such as boilers, pots and pans, ploughs and threshing machines. A somewhat humble beginning for a company that has become a world leader in diesel engines for marine and industrial use. A company renowned throughout the world for innovations such as Volvo Penta IPS propulsion and the Aquamatic.
Join us for a tour of our history through the decades to see the advances leading to the success of Volvo Penta today.


Octavia (69 - 11/10 BCE): elder sister of the emperor Augustus, once married to Marc Antony.
Octavia was the daughter of Gaius Octavius, a Roman official who had occupied the quaestorship in c.70. He had been married before, to a lady named Ancharia, and had another daughter, Octavia Maior. After Ancharia's death or a divorce, Octavius had remarried to Atia, who was the mother of Octavia Minor (born in 69) and a son, who had the same name as his father, Gaius Octavius, but is usually called Octavian and was to become Rome's first emperor under the name of Augustus.
When Octavius Senior married Atia, he must have known that she was to connect him to another politician with great plans: Gaius Julius Caesar, a relative of the once famous politician Marius, an uncle of Atia. Marius' followers had been persecuted, but in 70, the consuls, Crassus and Pompey, had changed the law, and Julius Caesar -a war hero- was ready to become the leader of the Marian faction.
Octavius' marriage to a relative of Caesar was therefore a political act, and it may have been due to patronage that Octavius' career progressed. In 64 he was aedile, succeeding Caesar; in 61 he was praetor, again succeeding his relative. In 60, both men were propraetor; Caesar in Andalusia, and Octavius in Macedonia. When he returned home in 59, he died, leaving his estates to his only son, Octavian, who was four years old. Atia remarried to Lucius Marcius Philippus, a friend of Caesar's ally and son-in-law Pompey. Marcius was responsible for the education of Octavian and the two Octavias.
In 54, Julia died, the wife of Pompey and daughter of Julius Caesar. This broke the tie between the two powerful politicians. Caesar, who was in Gaul, wanted to continue the alliance and proposed to marry Octavia Minor to his political friend, but Marcius had already married his stepdaughter to Gaius Claudius Marcellus, a friend of Pompey. The couple did not want a divorce.
In 50, when civil war between Pompey and Caesar was about to break out, Claudius was consul. He was one of those who tried to obstruct Caesar's policy in these months, but when the conqueror of Gaul invaded Italy in January 49, Claudius switched sides. No doubt his twenty-year old wife made the volte-face possible: after all, the dictator was her great-uncle.
After the assassination of Caesar in 44, the political situation became very complex. Octavia's brother Octavian suddenly became commander of an army and fought against the leader of Caesar's faction, Marc Antony (43); when the young man had defeated the old war horse, they unexpectedly concluded an alliance (with Lepidus: the Second Triumvirate), and announced a campaign against the murderers. Many people were proscribed (42), and order was restored only after Marc Antony and Octavian had defeated Brutus and Cassius, two of the assassins, in the battle of Philippi.
By now, Claudius had retired to his estate, and Octavia gave birth to three children: a son named Marcus Claudius Marcellus (born 42), and two daughters named Claudia Marcella. The first of the Marcellas was born in 41, and the second in 40, immediately after the death of Claudius. Although Octavia must have had other cares, she was able to help several people who had been proscribed by her brother.
Octavia - widow, mother of three children, and twenty-nine years old - was not allowed a quiet life. Her brother and Marc Antony quarreled, but decided to improve their relations. As a consequence, Octavia was ordered to marry Marc Antony. She had been alone for only a couple of months, and was officially still in mourning for her first husband.
They newly-weds spent the winter of 40/39 in Athens, and Octavia found herself pregnant again. Many people were hoping that the child would be a son, which would tie Octavian and Marc Antony even closer. (Probably, the peace-bringing child mentioned in Virgil's Fourth Eclogue is a reference to these hopes.) The child, however, was a girl: Antonia Maior, born in the late summer of 39. Antonia Minor was born on 31 January 36.
Marc Antony was not there when this girl was born, because he was involved in a serious war against the Parthian Empire. In the east, he fell in love with the Egyptian queen Cleopatra VII Philopator, but this did not damage his marriage beyond repair. She tried to mediate between her husband and her brother. In 35, she was still trying to get troops for her husband's campaign, when her brother ordered her to return to Rome. In 32, Marc Antony divorced her; one year later, Octavian and his admiral Agrippa defeated him in the naval battle of Actium.
Cleopatra and Marc Antony committed suicide, and Octavia was made responsible for their children. She was almost forty years old, did not remarry, and appears to have remained in the background, educating Marcus Claudius Marcellus, the two Claudias, the two Antonias, and the children Marc Antony had from his wifes Fulvia and Cleopatra: Iullus Antonius, Alexander Helios, Cleopatra Selene, and Ptolemy Philadelphus.
Seven of the nine children were to marry important people, and we can see how Octavia's brother, who was now sole ruler of the Roman world and called himself Augustus, tried to found a dynasty.
Alexander Helios and Ptolemy Philadelphus probably died too young.
In 11 or 10, Octavia died, almost sixty years old. She had been one of Augustus' most important assets in his road to power: she had in fact prevented the family of Marc Antony from continuing its independence and remaining a focus of opposition. Octavia was buried in the Mausoleum of Augustus, and shared a cenotaph with her son Marcellus. To commemorate his sister, the emperor founded the Porticus of Octavia (which is very close to the Theater of Marcellus).

There are a lot of great guitarists that have recorded music over the years. There's just something about a player who is one with his instrument, like it's an extension of his or body. Many of these great guitar performances are lost to time because the technology to record them wasn't available widely in the early 1900s. Luckily for us recoding technology has improved over the years and hundreds of great concerts have been committed to tape.
Crossroads was originally called Crossroad Blues, written and recorded in 1936 by the legendary Robert Johnson. Many of Johnson's songs have been covered over the years but Cream's live version from the 1968 double album Wheels of Fire is the most famous. Why? Because of the way Clapton restructured the song. He turned it into a standard tuning twelve bar blues rocker. And to make the song even better Clapton played not one, but two guitar solos on the track. The first solo is a pretty straightforward blues solo but the second, while remaining a bluesy feel, is a blazing solo that proves once and for all why his nickname was God in the 1960s. If you get have a moment look up other live performances online to see and hear for yourself.

I just love to create…I knew I wanted to be a full-time author, I knew I had a gift…I wanted to take my writing to the next level and create an original epic sci-fi/fantasy.
What is your favourite genre to write? I write science fiction—stories about Earth people traveling to the stars and interacting with aliens. Why? Because I want them to be true. I want to overcome the impossibilities, so I can go to those places myself.
Way back when… I don't even remember. Art? Expression? Creation? Immortality? One day I woke up and I'd written ten books.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I was a babysitter for younger relatives. They truly enjoyed when I would read to them before nap and bed time. People of color are rarely seen in the genre as more than the bad guys, or the comic relief etc. So, I began to tell them stories that were based on research into African mythology.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I drew a lot as a kid, even making long picture stories with plots and different characters. Once I started writing, I began doing that a lot more than drawing, and things just grew from there.
I don't know. I just started as a kid and that was that. There was no decision one way or another. It just kind of happened.
I've always loved fiction, especially science fiction and my imagination runs wild often to the point of distraction. Writing had always been something I enjoyed as a young person and I had wanted to pursue it as an adult but never made the time.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I started writing because I love the Sci-Fi and Fantasy genre and I wanted to share my stories with people.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I had just finished my masters degree and was dreading trying to enter the teaching market. So, I basically wrote a book to avoid the entering the real world.
Is there such a thing as a plotter/pantser? A Plonter? That would be me. Each book I've written to date has taken its own course. I guess I like to lightly outline, and then pants-it from there.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I had to do a project in the fourth grade. We had to write the story, illustrate it, and make a book. I was hooked.
In the beginning, tell me what made you decide to start writing. I was always writing from a small child. I always had a pad of paper and a pencil or pen and I was always writing stories. I lived in my head.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I can't say for sure what made me start my first story when I was very young, but I loved creating stories, even when I shouldn't have been.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I wish I knew. I was in my late twenties and working in a boring office job when an idea occurred to me for a science fiction story.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I started in elementary school because it was fun and most of the things the teachers had me doing wasn't.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I've been writing since I was a kid, and it's always been a desire to tell the stories I wanted to hear that no one else was telling.
One sweltering afternoon, while my best friend and I were reading Hardy Boy books, we had an epiphany. We thought, "We could write one of these." And so, I did.
It's difficult to say, since I never made a conscious decision to be a writer. I'm not even sure I have yet. I've always had a creative mind, but often lack the skills to realize those thoughts.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I remember wanting to have adventures of my own and started making them up and eventually writing them in notebook after notebook while growing up.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I think almost everyone wishes to write a book. Same thing with me. I thought I'd been witnessing incredible events unfolding that deserved a story.
It was an innate desire to write… and I soon found it to be an avenue to express my feelings particularly during difficult times: i.e. adolescence.
From an early age my mother read to me at night, all the old children's classics and so I had a love of the narrative and storytelling before I could ever put a pen to paper.
I'm indie through and through. I've always had a DIY ethic and an entrepreneurial streak. Traditional publishing is still focused on selling things printed on pulped-up trees that were written two years ago.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I have been imagining situations and stories for as long as I can remember. Back as a small child, like fifty years ago, we would play pretend. That was the start of my making up stories in my head.
I write for a living as a lawyer. I had ideas that I thought would be neat for stories and realized nobody else was going to write them.
I had been going through a particularly bad time. What happened to me sounded like something that might happen in a book, so I started to write the book. It didn't help, but I did discover that I enjoyed writing.
I remember, oh, maybe I was eight or nine, writing baseball stories about a shortstop named Davey who played for the New York Yankees. Gore Vidal said that writers are born with a stock company of characters; Shakespeare had like nearly 30, and then there are the rest of us mortals.
I don't remember. I wrote my first book when I was 3 with crayons and printer paper. It's just always been a part of who I am.
In the beginning…tell me what made you decide to start writing? I come from a family of artists, my mother paints, my brother draws, and I have perfect color sense, but I cannot draw my way out of a wet paper bag. I have however been accused of painting with words.
In High School,I was given an English Assignment with one rule—it had to be 2000 words. Inspired by fantasy novels, I decided to type out a story. Although I could only type with two fingers, once I started I couldn't stop.
'In the beginning…' That's a loaded question. It just sort of happened. Cris remembers writing what he calls 'bad Star Wars fanfiction' when he was little, and Clare too had a few amateurish stories she wrote as a kid.
My favourite genre to read is fantasy and science-fiction so that tends to be the topics I'm drawn to when I sit down to write. I have tried to write real-life fiction but I'm never quite satisfied that it feels 'real' enough.
I wrote my first short story when I was seven years old, and I really haven't stopped since then. It wasn't so much that I decided to write as that I had to write.
I started young when my imagination seemed more interesting than reality and I wanted to see if anyone agreed. Writing seemed the most thorough way of asking.
I began with goofy comic books and decided to tackle a horror novel in 10th grade. It won me the student of the month award but was a total crapfest. I try to burn it every time I go home but mom won't let me.
In high school, I wrote fan fiction with my friends, primarily in the Star Trek universe. Mine was wretchedly bad, full of every angsty teenage trope you can think of, but it cemented my love of writing and storytelling.
I had a dream… I know, everyone says that, but it's true. I woke up one morning vividly remembering a scene from a story.
To be honest, writing is just something I've always done. I distinctly remember becoming old enough to read and swiftly transitioning to the one who read the children's stories, rather than was read to.
I've always been fascinated by the art of storytelling. I started writing horseshit when I was a kid. By the time I was a teen I'd gotten good enough that my high school used one of my scripts as a play.
I love telling stories and entertaining people with them. I began writing stories in 3rd grade with science fiction stories.
An accident at work. I served for thirty-four years in the military and then the police service. An injury on duty entailed a number of operations and a long convalescence, but gave me the time to start putting all the ideas I'd accrued over the years down in writing.
I've been in love with stories as far back as I can remember. Reading them, telling them, spinning them over and over in my mind–it was perfectly natural for me to put pen to paper and start writing them down!
