Baseball hopeful Bo Crutcher is about to get his shot at the majors. That is, until life throws him a curveball. When AJ, the son he's never met, lands on his doorstep, Bo's life becomes a whole new ball game. He needs help—fast.
Enter Kimberly van Dorn. Hired to smooth Bo's rough exterior for the media, she expects the kind of shallow pro athlete she's used to handling. But Bo is willing to sacrifice everything for his vulnerable son. Kim can train him to hit a home run with the press, but over a breathtaking winter on frozen Willow Lake, she realizes he has far more to teach her about the game of life…and putting love first.

La Guardia Airport Concourse C Gate 21
The dark glasses didn't hide a thing, not really. When people saw someone in dark glasses on a cloudy day in the middle of winter, they assumed the wearer was hiding the fact that she'd been drinking, crying or fighting. Or all of the above.
Under any number of circumstances, Kimberly van Dorn enjoyed being the center of attention. Last night, when she'd donned her couture gown with its scandalous slit up the side, turning heads had been the whole idea. She'd had no idea the evening would implode the way it had. How could she?
Now, at the end of a soul-flattening red-eye flight, she kept her shades on as the plane touched down and taxied to the Jetway. Coach. She never flew coach. Last night, however, first class had been sold out, personal comfort had taken a backseat to expediency, and she'd found herself in seat 29-E in the middle of the middle section of the plane, wedged between strangers. Sometimes the need to get away was more powerful than the need for legroom. Although her stiff legs this morning might argue that point.
Who the hell had designed coach class, anyway? She was convinced she had the imprint of her seatmate's ear on her shoulder. After his fourth beer, he kept falling asleep, his head lolling onto her. What was worse than a man with a lolling head?
A man with a lolling head and beer breath, she thought grimly, trying to shake off the torturous transcontinental night. But the memories lingered like the ache in her legs—the lolling guy with a snoring problem, and, on her other side, an impossibly chatty older gentleman, who talked for hours about his insomnia. And his bursitis. And his lousy son-in-law, his fondness for fried sweet potatoes and his dislike of the Jude Law movie Kim was pretending to watch in hopes of getting him to shut up.
No wonder she never flew coach. Yet the nightmare flight was not the worst thing that had happened to her lately. Far from it.
She stood in the aisle, waiting for the twenty-eight rows ahead of her to deplane. The process seemed endless as people rummaged in the overhead bins, gathering their things while talking on mobile phones.
She took out her phone, thumb hovering over the power button. She really ought to call her mother, let her know she was coming home. Not now, though, she thought, putting the phone away. She was too exhausted to make any sense. Besides, for all she knew, the thing had one of those tracking features, and she didn't feel like being tracked.
Now that she'd arrived, she wasn't in such a big hurry. In fact, she was utterly unprepared to face a dreary midwinter morning in New York. Ignoring the stares of other passengers, she tried to act as though traveling in an evening gown was a routine occurrence for her, and hoped people would just assume she was a victim of lost luggage.
If only it could be that simple.
Shuffling along the narrow aisle of the coach section, she definitely felt like a victim. In more ways than one.
She left behind a scattering of sequins in the aisle. There was a reason clothes like this were designated as "evening wear." The silk charmeuse dress, encrusted with sequins, was meant to be worn in the romantic semidarkness of a candlelit private club or Southern California garden, lit by tiki torches. Not in the broad, unforgiving daylight of a Saturday morning.
It was funny, she thought, how even a couture gown from Shantung on Rodeo Drive managed to look tawdry in the morning light. Especially when combined with a side slit, bare legs and peep-toe spike heels with a crisscross ankle strap. Only last night, every detail had whispered class. Now her outfit screamed hooker. No wonder she was getting funny looks.
But last night, in the middle of everything, Kim hadn't been thinking about the morning. She'd just been thinking about getting away. It seemed as though a million years had passed since then, since she'd dressed so carefully, so filled with hope and optimism. Lloyd Johnson, star of the Lakers and the biggest client of the PR firm she worked for, was at the pinnacle of his career.
More importantly for Kimberly, he'd found his dream house in Manhattan Beach. They planned to live there together. It was supposed to be her night, a moment of triumph, maybe even a life-changing occasion if Lloyd had decided to pop the question. Well, it had been life-changing, just not in the way she'd anticipated. She had sunk everything she had into her career as a sports publicist. And overnight, that had crumbled. She was Jerry Maguire without the triumphant ending.
She finally reached the front of the aircraft, murmuring a thank-you to the flight attendants as she passed. It wasn't their fault the flight had been so miserable, and they'd been up all night, too. Then, just as she stepped onto the Jetway, the security doors opened and a ground-crew guy in a jumpsuit and earphones blew in on a gust of frigid wind.
The arctic air slapped her like a physical assault, tearing at the silk dress and skimming over her bare legs. She gasped aloud and gathered a fringed wrap—the only outerwear she had—around her bare shoulders, clutching it in one fist, her jewelencrusted peacock evening bag in the other.
Sweet, merciful Lord. She had forgotten this—the East Coast cold that simply had no rival anywhere in California. She grabbed her long red hair but was too late. It had already been blown into a terrifying bouffant, and she was fairly sure she'd lost an earring. Lovely.
Holding her head high, she emerged from the Jet-way and entered the terminal, walking at a normal, unhurried pace, though she wanted to collapse. The red-soled Louboutins with their three-inch heels, which had looked so fabulous with the single-shoulder sheath, now felt hideous on her feet.
Silently cursing the couture shoes and clutching the silk wrap around her, she scanned the concourse for an open shop to buy something to wear on the last leg of the trip, to the town of Avalon up in the Catskills, where her mother now lived. Last night, there had been no time to grab anything, even if she had been thinking straight. She'd made the flight with moments to spare.
To her dismay, all the kiosks and shops along the way were still closed; never had she craved a pair of flip-flops and an I V NY T-shirt more. It was a long walk to the commuter concourse, especially in these heels.
She passed people in warm winter clothes, probably heading up to the mountains for a weekend of fun. She pretended not to notice the looks of speculation, the comments whispered behind snugly gloved hands. Ordinarily, other people's opinions were her first concern. But not today. She was too tired to care what people were saying about her.
Across the way stood a guy, leaning with his foot propped against the wall, staring at her. Okay, so a lot of guys were staring at her, since she was dressed like an escapee from a Hooters convention. He was easily six foot five and had long hair, and he wore cargo pants and an army surplus parka with wolf fur around the hood.
She was an idiot for not being able to ignore him. Men were her downfall; she should know better. And—please, Lord, no—with a leisurely air, he pushed away from the wall and seemed to be ambling toward her. Kim had never been much of a student of literature, but as he advanced on her, she found herself remembering a phrase coined by Dorothy Parker—What fresh hell is this?
More quickly than was prudent in the skinny heels, she headed for the moving walkway, wishing it could be a magic carpet, whisking her away from her troubles. She stepped aboard—and felt one of her heels sink down between the grooves of the walkway. Gritting her teeth, she tried to tug her foot free. As she did so, the other heel sank into another groove.
And just when she thought the day could not get any worse, it did.
Fireside (Lakeshore Chronicles Series #5) 4.2 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 85 reviews.
If you enjoyed the first 4 Lakeshore Chronicles books you will like this one. I like reading stories with recurring characters in them. The nice thing about Susan Wiggs is that she does a good job of developing her characters and providing plausible stories about them. Within that framework she still is able to remind the reader about characters they have met previously. I am looking forward to a #6 in the series.
I love the way she has the characters develop. I also like how she works with one and then weaves back to another but not letting us know which one is next. I like how she works trough the troubles of the characters. I would like more of these Chronicles.

Susan Wiggs has a mystical ,magical ability to create a world in which the reader is immersed into romance, hope and achieving dreams. Her characters in all of the Lakeshore Chronicles are believable and continuing in all of her books in this series. I could not get enough and treasured every moment reading this series. I really loved the fact that the characters were continuing throughout the series. The plots were believable and her style of writing made the reader want more. If you need to escape into a community of romance, dreams and hope, this is the series for you. They are addictive and should be accompanied with chocolates.

I enjoyed reading the Fireside. The characters tell their story yet include others from previous books. I can follow her characters through the town to Willow Lake. Susan Wiggs has become one of my favorite authors. She has set the stage for more Lakeshore Chronicles. I like the fact that her characters aren't perfect. They have flaws, but overcome their obstacles. Susan Wiggs promises you a well written story with true characters.
I am a big fan of Susan Wiggs. This book is the same winning formula that she is so loved for. I have read all her books and like this book as much as the others. This is a great book for a rainy or snowy day, or if you want to "run away from home" without going anywhere.

After the 3rd, & 4th books in the Lakeshore Chronicles I was really disappointed. Fireside changed my mind. This book was so much better. The chemistry between Bo and Kim was great. And Bo and AJ's story was also a tender one. Although, I'd would have appreciated a little more than the final wrap up gave. I really liked Bo and Kim's story.

Fireside is another hit in the Lakeshore Chronicles for Susan Wiggs. I enjoyed catching up with some of the previous characters and meeting some new folks to Avalon. A good book to escape to a quaint location and nice folks.

I am so glad that I bought this whole series and read them all together. All of Susan Wiggs books were wonderful. There are 5 books in this series and I read them all in 8 days. I really enjoyed all of the characters. I cannot wait for the next book to come out.
This was my favorite of all the Lakeshore Chronicles series.....somewhat unusual plot and interesting to learn of the trials and tribulations of not only pro-sports figures but also illegal aliens working in the U.S. Very warm, touching, yet not overly so. Although I suspected how it would end, it turned out quite differently that you (and I) might think. Couldn't put it down once I started. It's a keeper to read again another day!

Fireside is about Kim who is a sports PR who falls for Bo a pitcher. In my opinion I would have liked more of the story line to be on Daisy and the two guys who want her. But all in all it was a good book. Predictable happy ending like all of the Susan Wiggs books that I've read.

Winter in Avalon, NY. Baseball player Bo Crutcher has finally gotten his big break with the Yankees--but he unexpectedly gets custody of the son he's never met. Sports PR person Kim Van Dorn retreats to her mother's house when her career and love life implode simultaneously. Bo needs media training. Kim has sworn never to work with another athlete.Not the best in the series, but a decent way to spend a few hours.
I've loved all of the books in this series so far. Very well written small town romance.
Pure_Jonel More than 1 year ago
Wiggs writes emotions in a way that allows readers to experience it. The in-depth story takes readers deep into situations that are not only heartbreaking, but also well researched. Wiggs doesn't make up the details that she puts forth as fact. At the same time, this is an unforgettable work of fiction, combining the best of both worlds. The scenery in the novel was also breathtaking. I love how I was able to picture myself in the Catskills, while also being able to let my imagination run wild, placing myself in the story. Wiggs' characters are so detailed and realistic, struggling with the twists life throws at them. I love how we get to follow certain characters through the entire series while also getting to know new ones. Kim & Bo definitely stole my heart in this one. I loved seeing under Bo's bad boy exterior, getting to know who he really is. Her multifaceted development really lets you experience each and every aspect of who he is. Kim's journey of self-discovery while helping Bo was priceless. She was the type of woman that I could easily see myself sitting down with for coffee. Enter AJ. His situation broke my heart. At the same time, he was so much fun to get to know. This might just be the most engaging story of the series yet. Wiggs' emotionally poignant yet absolutely heart-warming tale is one that I'd recommend to all lovers of romance.

Big 12, College, Football, Sports Bars
Johnny's Tavern has the Power and the Light
We were very skeptical when we strolled toward the Johnny's Tavern setup on the corner of the Power & Light District in Downtown Kansas City. We've been to a couple of places around there before and the experiences were weak. We had some hope, however, as Johnny's Tavern came through for us before. After spending the afternoon there we can say it is the best bar in the district. The food was great, the poker game was loads of fun, and the games on the screens were stellar. If you own or work at a bar around that area, read on to see how to make it successful.
The outside entrance to Johnny's Tavern brings you into a ledge like area where you walk down to find a table or bar. Looking around you can see a multitude of television screens, including high definition and a projector screen. There were even screens in the booth. The bar is long and stone with many taps ready to drink from. The tables are high and were decked with high chairs. The patio area spills right into the center court of the Power & Light area, but doesn't lose any tv viewing area. The bar kept people like me connected with a wireless hotspot. All in all, the most complete package you could ask. They could use a pool table, however.
Johnny's Tavern did have a decent set of games play though. The had Big Buck Safari, Power Putt, some multi touch game, and Big Tony's PokerKard. I've yet to see a game like this so I plunked down some change and had a go at it. If you have never played Texas Hold 'Em, it's a poker game that the big boys play. You only get two cards and you bet against everyone to see who has the best hand, after shared cards are dealt. So I decided to take Big Tony on. Two dollars gets you 30 minutes and 1000 in chips. I was up around 2000 and eventually lost it all with 15 minutes to go. The game has an intuitive touch screen interface and crisp animations. The next time I play, I may talk some others into going in with me. We need to take Big Tony down.
There's nothing to take down for the service at Johnny's Tavern. The waitresses there covered the whole spectrum of types. We had big ones and small ones, hot ones and not hot ones, attentive ones and not so attentive ones. The one we had did a great job of making sure we were okay. She did, however, forget about us for about an hour. Typically if you stay all day at a bar you will get that. One thing we noticed while we were there was that the same waitress who stiffed us at the Quaff last year is working at Johnny's Tavern. I still had nightmares about that experience and seeing her again brought back some nasty flashbacks. Fortunately for us, she was not our server and only haunted me with her presence. Whew.
Being terrified works up an appetite so we double downed on food for the week. First up was the Chiptole Roll Ups. It's a cream cheese and black bean concoction rolled up in tortilla and served with some Chipotle sauce and salsa. Anything with cream cheese and spice works well with me so this was an acceptable palette cleanser for the main course, the RugB-L-T. The RugB-L-T is much more than a typical BLT. What you get along with the bacon, lettuce, and tomato on this bad boy is some provolone cheese and a fried egg. Mega greasy indeed! The sandwich is perfect for those times you need a pick me up from a long night and grease is the only solution. Topped with some french fries and onion rings, this sandwich deal with fill you up quick.
Our hunger for great play filled up quick as well in the form of a couple of hotly contested football games. The national scene was all about the Notre Dame vs Michigan game, but let's talk about some of the other smaller games. Florida rolled over Troy. Penn State took care of Syracuse. I forgot who won the Duke vs Army game because I was too angry that the Black Knights left their camouflaged uniforms at home. Fresno State almost upset Wisconsin as it took overtime for the Badgers to win. Connecticut almost had the upset against North Carolina but couldn't convert. It took a last second goal line touchdown for Wake Forest to beat Stanford. One of the best games of the day saw Central Michigan upset Michigan State after scoring last, getting the onside, and kicking a second field goal try after a penalty on the Spartans. Michigan State completely gave the game away.
What Michigan and Notre Dame gave us, was a game for the ages. The hype was big going in and it fully paid off in the end. Michigan jumped out ahead with a Brandon Minor touchdown run and a Darryl Stonum kick return. But Notre Dame fought back with some field goals and a couple of Jimmy Clausen touchdown passes. Michigan answered back with a rushing and a passing touchdown from Tate Forcier. Notre Dame came back again with a couple of touchdowns only to have Tate Forcier toss a last second touchdown for the win 38 – 34. This game had it all and should stand the test of time. What does it mean for the coaches? Rich Rodriguez has the heat off of him and the heat is building up big for Charlie Weiss.
The Big 12 didn't bring as much heat as it did last week. We hit Johnny's Tavern right when the Iowa vs Iowa State and the battle for the Cy-Hawk Trophy went to halftime. It was an ugly affair and the Hawkeyes brought the trophy home easily. The other Big 12 game we saw was Oklahoma State bangin helmets against the Houston Cougers. In what everybody tapped as a let down game, the Cougars and their high powered offense upended the Cowboys and brought them back down to earth. For the rest of the Big 12, it was a standard affair. Winners include Nebraska, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Kansas, and Missouri (in a close one against Bowling Green). The losers include Colorado and Kansas State. Dan Hawkins is in big trouble and Bill Snyder 2.0 has more work than he expected.
Johnny's Tavern was more than we expected. The game time watching satisfied immensely. The service and food felt nice and warm in our hearts and bellies. We may be better off playing bingo than video poker. The football was spectacular even though the Big 12 may have taken a step back. All in all we are very pleased with what Johnny's Tavern brings into the Power & Light District. Before we thought the area was just a douchebag and hoebag magnet, but with this little place cozied up in corner we can finally hang out somewhere and laugh at everybody else.

By Larry Weber on Mar 20, 2019 at 6:17 a.m.
As we approach the vernal equinox — the first day of spring — most of us look forward to the new season, whether we are winter weary or not. We might search for a few early migrants, be they hawks, eagles, geese or robins.
Early waking chipmunks may be in the yard along with tracks of a raccoon or the odor of a wandering skunk. Along the house, we could find the first dandelion or crocus starting to bloom. And many have a vase of willow twigs with their opening buds, a help for spring fever.
But I also like to note the critters that wintered with us.
When looking back over the winter with its trying conditions that we endured, we might be glad to have had the companionship of these other Northland residents. For most of us, this means the songbirds that came to the feeding sites almost every day.
I find that the cold snaps are made more interesting and joyful when we can sit back and look out at woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches, goldfinches and blue jays, often in flocks. The regular turkeys scratched out meals, too.
We don't always appreciate squirrels, but watching gray, red and flying squirrels never stops being interesting. Recently, deer have also come by.
Not at the feeders, but still with us have been the large pileated woodpeckers, the ubiquitous crows and ravens and frequently barred owl calls add more to the nights.
Though I don't usually see the critters themselves, nearly every day there have been tales in the snow of movements, mostly at night, of foxes, coyotes, mice, voles, hare and rabbits.
I have also seen more sporadic tracks of ruffed grouse, bobcat, weasel, pine marten and fisher with otter and muskrats in the wetter sites. Thanks to their tracks, I know of their presence.
But there are other smaller ones that spent the cold season with us, too, and maybe even close to us. We may have hosted them indoors and did not know it.
Recently, as I moved about in the basement, I paused to look in a corner — something that we normally pass without a glance. This time, I observed it more closely and with the aid of some light, I discovered a complete spiderweb. It took a little more searching to find the owner, but back in a tunnel-like site, it sat still. The web shape and size gave it away as being that of a funnel-web spider.
These spiders are very common in the region. The name comes from the type of web they construct — a snare that has numerous threads surrounding a hole in the middle, looking something like that of a funnel.
Their webs are abundant in the warmer weather out in our yards and I especially find them along roadsides. Webs are normally low, near the ground.
As the weather gets colder in the fall, many of these spiders look for more sheltered places to spend winter and our buildings will serve them fine. Here, they set up snares for the cold season.
They become very sedentary in the coolness of basements, garages or barns and they do not feed much. But there is enough food, usually insects, here to provide their needed meals. The one that I saw was about 1 inch long, brown and though sluggish, appeared to be healthy.
Now, with the longer days, they may be moving about more and maybe I'll see this one again in some other part of the house. Yes, they also wintered with us.

On June 19, President Trump ordered the US Trade Representative to prepare additional tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods in retaliation to China's response to the initial US tariffs on $50bn of Chinese goods on June 15. These days likely mark the end of the rebound trade that started in early April and ended by taking the S&P 500 to just 3% from the January all-time-high at 2,878.50.
The June events came after the May 31 announcement that the US would put tariffs on imported steel and aluminium from Canada, Mexico, and Europe. In a retaliation move, the European Union announced tariffs on selected US goods such as motorbikes, jeans, yachts, bourbon, and cigarettes. We have dedicated our Q3 Outlook, which will soon be published, to the ongoing trade war as this will become a defining moment for the world if it spins out of control. But with equity markets under pressure and several emerging markets having entered a bear market, we want to provide a teaser to our Q3 Outlook with our view on equities during this trade war scenario.
1. The US economy and earnings growth is much stronger than the rest of G10.
2. By being a trade deficit country, the US stands to lose less initially in a trade war escalation.
Our recommendation is to be underweight (short) countries with trade surpluses against the US, the largest such countries being China, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Japan, and South Korea.
In addition, the semiconductor and car industries are particular vulnerable to further escalation, so investors should stay underweight those industries. The industries and sectors that seem to be doing the best relatively are software, health care, consumer staples, utilities, and telecom.
The table below shows our equity model's top-ranked software companies.
Chinese equities are down 23.5% from their peak in January and down 10% during the period from when the trade war escalated to the recent alarming level. While the Chinese government is signalling its willingness to fight back, the real facts are that China is losing much more from this fight than the US, at least in the short-term.
With the Chinese economy already weakening ahead of the US tariff announcements due to slowing credit growth and lower investment levels, the US government has initiated this trade war at the worst possible time for China. On 19 June, the People's Bank of China communicated that banks' reserve requirement ratios should be cut, increasing the likelihood of monetary easing coming soon.
Making the situation worse for China is the fact that its currency is falling against those of its its trading partners, most notably USD, as the relative wealth of Chinese consumers declines. Typically the equity market reaction to a falling currency is positive, but this time we see pressure coming from both the equity market and the currency, which is a classic sign of growing stress in the economy and financial system.

If you have read my earlier post on benefits of publishing an eBook, then the next step is to learn how to do it. And the very first step in self publishing is knowing how to format an ebook or format your manuscript into an eBook version.
So what are the acceptable formats for an eBook?
Now there are two options to edit and lay out your manuscript and you have to select the option which works best for you. You have to remember, in choosing between these options, you have to consider your knowledge, your availability and your budget. These are major factors in choosing which option to select.
This means that you have to create the layout of the eBook from scratch. If you are a techy and you easily learn techy stuffs, then this could be a great option for you.
Saves money. If you don't want to pay extra for a layout artist, then this is the best option for you.
More editing. As you go on doing the layout of your eBook, it would not be help that you would see some other mistakes that might be in the book, e.g., spelling or grammar slips. If you do your layout, you have a chance to another round of editing.
Adding contents. Aside from editing, you also have the chance to add more parts in to your book, if you see it necessary.
Updates are manageable. If you are a prolific writer, you will have the urge to write and write and therefore, upload and upload new eBooks every time. Now, if you are an author of a book series, you usually change some parts of your back matter from time to time. If you do this, you have to change it in all the other uploaded materials. When outsourcing your book formatting, you will have to pay for the updates every time you change it, while if you do it yourself, it's free and it's fast.
Where there are advantages, there are always disadvantages. It's always a two-edged sword, the yin and the yang. This still holds true even in doing your own eBook formatting. So what are the disadvantages?
Takes time. Even if you are already a pro in formatting or you're just starting out, you can agree that it will definitely take your time in doing this. If you are just starting out, you will have to learn from scratch and that would definitely take a lot of time. So you have to consider. Do you have the time to spare to be doing the layout? If you are pressed for time, then this is not the option for you.
Takes longer. Unless you are a pro in doing book layouts, it would definitely take a lot of time to complete the layout. That means, you will not be able to publish the eBook right away. Now, if you have a deadline that you are going after, then this is definitely not the best time to choose DIY formatting.
What to use in DIY formatting?
Vellum – for Mac users.
Jutoh – for Windows PC users.
Scrivener – available for Mac and Windows PC.
There are more options if you search online.
Based on the information provided above, you should know by now the benefits of hiring a professional to format your book – no need to expound further on that.
If you would choose to go this path, here's a list of book formatters recommended by Joanna Penn of TheCreativePenn.com.
We hope that this article helped you decide which path to take and makes publishing your eBook easier for you. Cheers to your success!

Middleton, Antetokunpo score 59 points, Bucks pass Nuggets
amonpetragliaFebruary 9, 2021
Denver — Khris Middleton has 29 points, the best 12 assists in his career, Janis Adetokumpo has 30 points, and Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Denver Nuggets 125-112 on Monday night to win five straight games.
Middleton's 12th assist was amazing. A pinpoint pass to Antetokunpo gave Bucks a 120-110 lead with 1:39 remaining.
Bryn Forbes scored 15 points against Bucks, who won a rare victory at Mile High City. Milwaukee has always improved to 10-40 in Denver.
Nikola Jokić finished with 35 points and 12 rebounds in a confrontation with Antetokunpo. Jokić hasn't been able to perfectly recreate his shot touch since the night before, when he scored his career's highest 50 points in Sacramento.
Will Barton added the season's best 24 points as the Nuggets lost three games in a row.
Prior to the game, Nuggets coach Michael Malone decomposed Antetokunpo's talents as follows: Levels. ""
That proved to be a good explanation, Antetokounmpo scored 14 points in the third quarter and a big three points in the second half of the fourth quarter.
Milwaukee and Denver launched from a 3-point range in the first half to 19 of 49. The Nuggets led 62-59 in the break with a tight opening half featuring 14 lead changes.
Hint in
Bucks: G Jrue Holiday wasn't competing due to the NBA's health and safety protocol. … Bucks beat the Nuggets by 50-38.
Nuggets: Gary Harris missed three games in a row due to a tense left adductor muscle. … F Paul Millsap had 14 points. … Reserve G Monte Morris finished with 12 points. … G Jamal Murray scored 11 points and went from the floor to 4 of 17.
Asked about the marquee match between Jokić and Antetokunpo, Malone pretended to be hurt.
"Are you saying that the Marquee match isn't Michael Malone and Mike Budenholzer?" Malone joked.
Star attraction
When it comes to containing stars like Jokić, Bucks coach Budenholzer argued that it was important to take the Commission's approach.
"We want people to be always connected and ready to help cover each other," Budenholzer explained. "Playing an elite player takes you to another level. You have to be more aggressive and more devoted, and then you have to scramble around it. "
Familiar face
Bucks forward Torrey Craig returned to Denver after spending the first three seasons in the Nuggets. The team compiled a video tribute to him and aired it on the scoreboard in the first quarter. Craig finished with 9 points — all with 3 points.
"When Tory was here, he had a huge impact on our culture and victory," Malone said. "I miss that person, Torrey Craig. I have great respect for the journey he took to find out who he was and where he was."
Bucks: The fourth match of the six-match journey will take place on Wednesday in Phoenix.
Nuggets: Host Cleveland on Wednesday. Last season, I lost both games to the Cavs.

I'm a member of the Mormon church, and at church my kids are encouraged to learn and memorize scriptures. They are also encouraged to memorize the Articles of Faith, which are 13 verses that sum up the core beliefs of our church. I thought it would be nice to have all 13 verses printed out and displayed in our home to help the kids with memorization.
I've been working on these printables for a while but I wanted to make sure to get them posted before Christmas because I think they'd make a great Christmas gift – you can print all 13 verses out at Costco (at 8×10) for just under $20.
I have a blank wall in my kitchen, so I used washi tape to tape all 13 verses up – and my kids have been reading and reciting them during breakfast each day. If you don't want to hang them all up at once, you could just display one in a frame, rotating it out for the next one each month. Note: if you use washi tape to hang yours on the wall, just be aware that some washi tape is stickier than others – the less-sticky versions probably won't hold very well. You could also use short pins to pin them to the wall – just use a thimble or pencil eraser to push the pins into the wall.
Please DO NOT redistribute these or use them for any commercial purposes, as that would be a violation of copyright law.
I click through this on Pinterest and here you are!! THANK YOU!
Thank you for such a wonderful help. I look forward to helping my grandchildren learn the Article of Faith. You are very talented!
Fantastic! I love the font size emphasis you were able to add to certain words. We'll be using these, Thanks so much for Sharing!
I am so excited about this! I think the second one is missing the "for the" in it…? But I definitely want these thank you so much for sharing your testimony thru your talents!
Good catch! It's ridiculous how many times I read over these to make sure nothing was missing – but I know them so well my brain just added in the missing words. I'll get it fixed ASAP.
I'm a.designer too and I do it allll the time!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Lyndia. I could have sworn I already fixed that one, but you're right, it was still showing up with two "by"s in it. Everything is fixed now in the zip file, or you can just download the fixed 2nd or 3rd one.
It's only through Jesus. Not our works, lest anyone should boast.
The scripture supports our belief, outlined in the 2nd article of Faith. Because of the Atonement of Christ we are subject to no transgressions but our own. Which bring us back to your above statement, Through the Grace of Jesus Christ we live… how well, is decided by our own choosing our "works" as some say. He has atoned for us that we might choose for ourselves…. so that means we must also do our part to receive the fullness of his atonement.
How can the Gospel have ordinances? The whole point of it is to give us hope that the Law could not give– we NEVER can be good enough, never. That's why we need Jesus, who lived a sinless life and now reigns on high (Phillipians 2). Romans 8 gives the best exposition I can think of on the topic… that and the book of Galatians.
Gospel Ordinances are Covenants. The covenants we make with Christ and with our Father in Heaven for example; Baptism, Confirmation, Sacrament, Endowments, Marriage. These are all Ordinances when we partake of them we are agreeing to uphold our end of that Promise. The Gospel does indeed have Ordinances, all given to us by the Savior Jesus Christ.
I LOVE these articles of faith printables! Beautiful work…thank you so much for sharing! By far my favorite that I've seen! I recently joined the primary presidency and would love to include these in our little flip books that we are making for each primary child as a Christmas gift. They will have the 2014 theme with each monthly theme (including scripture), a copy of the family proclamation, and the articles of faith. We plan to use a binder clip to keep them together for kids to be able to keep in their scripture bag, study during sacrament, etc. I am wondering if there is any way to have your articles of faith printables be printed as 3×4's (so 2per 4×6 photo, so we could cut in half)?? We have close to 100 kids in our primary & the only way we can afford to include all this awesome stuff is to print 2 "pages" per 4×6 photo! I am very computer illiterate & would not know even where to start…is this something you could do rather simply as an option or for a small fee? Thanks for your reply and sharing your talents!
Thank you so, so much. I am giving a set of all and a frame to each family with grands and also using them in Relief Society as a gift idea for Super Saturday. Thanks again!
I am going to print these for Primary. Thanks for sharing your talents to bless the lives of others. Thank YOU!
thank you so much for sharing!! i AM GOING TO PRINT THEM ALL AND FRAME THEM AND CHANGE THEM MONTHLY!!
I think the 2nd Article of Faith has a typo. According to the official LDS website, it should be transgression not transgressions.
Good catch! I'll get that fixed and updated ASAP.
Your work is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing it. I am making Activity Day binders and plan to include these in them.
Activity day binders sounds like a great idea – what else do you put in them?
I plan on printing these at Costco to hang in my family room.
I'm not trying to be a pain because I am really glad you shared this. However, I just checked #2 to be certain it was fixed before I printed it, and it still says, "transgressions." not "transgression" The zip file has the error as does the "corrected version of the 2nd one HERE." Did I miss something? Thanks.
Ok, Article of Faith #2 is now fixed and can be downloaded on its own. I am re-uploading the entire zip file and it's taking a few minutes, so it's not available yet, but it will be soon. Thanks for the reminder!
Definitely an answer to a prayer – thanks so much for this service.
so nice for sharing. thank you!
I prepare the program for Sacrament Meeting each week for our ward and wanted to have a section to highlight an Article of Faith for the next few weeks, I found you on pinterest and I'd love to use these beautiful ones you've designed, but didn't want to do that unless you are okay with it. I would never want to violate a copyright!
Yes, Annie, you're welcome to use them for that! As long as you're not selling them, you're just fine. Thanks for checking.
these are beautiful! i found another set online about 2 years ago and have had them hung up and it has helped tremendously in their learning them! my 3 oldest have them all down!!
Thank you so much for sharing these! When I showed my husband the picture of what I was having printed he was so excited! We are anxiously waiting for them to be ready at the printer so we can add this art to my boys room. Thank you!!!
I just want to thank you SO MUCH for these wonderful printables! They're going up on a blank wall (in my dining room, ironically!) that I've been debating over for almost a year, lol. Thank you for sharing your work with us!
Thank so much!. We will be using your images of the 13 Articles of Faith for our Twitter and Facebook campaign known as the 13 days of Faith. I was looking for uniformly designed images with the A's of Faith to use on Twitter because of the character limit and your designs are just perfect for the job!. Thank you!
They are really pretty. Love them. Can I use them to give a copy to our primary children?
Hi! Love these posters. Wondered if I could scale them down to make laminated cards for our Primary children – to give as birthday gifts etc. It would not allow me to do that in Photoshop. Can you help me?
Oops! Sorry for the typo.
Thank you so much for sharing these and your talents, so kind of you! I'm printing them into little booklets for our children turning 8 for the baptism preview. They're just wonderful, thank you!
Thank you for such a gracious offering of your time and talent to help us as grandparents, parents, and Primary teachers, and, ultimately, our young ones.
I did the download and was able to print out all of them except 13…It will not even open the 13th article of faith. Any suggestions? I am not very good with tech stuff.
The 13 Articles of Faith in my home – I think I will print these a little smaller and put them in one of those really big multi-picture frames in the guest room. Thank you!
I would like to print these out in the 4 x 6 size for my ADG's. Do you know. If they print out good at that size? I love these, thanks for sharing them.
Thanks for this fun printable. I just ordered mine from Costco. I appreciate you sharing your hard work!
I have linked this post to a post i have made about an Article of Faith binder for Primary. I wanted to be sure that this is fine with you that I share your great printables! Here is the post: http://singgoodmorning.blogspot.com/2016/06/the-articles-of-faith-binder.html If there are any problems with this, I will take it down immediately. Let me know what you would like me to do! And thank you for providing this great resource!!!!
Hi, These are great. Your 2nd Article of Faith still has "trangressions" instead of "transgression." I took the picture of the individual pages and downloaded them. Thank you for your hard work and sharing these.
Thank you so much! I love these and have printed them out to help my family. I really appreciate your sharing your time and talents!!!
I get a 403 error when I try to print these. Can you help?
Is there another way to download these? I get a 503 error. Thanks!
Just came across this printout today and would love these for Activity Days. Im trying to download but it says its forbidden. Are these no longer available? Its just so lovely!
I would love to print these for our primary! However, whenever I click on the download link it says "403 error". How can I access these? Thank you!
The link to the zip file for the Articles of Faith posters gives me an error message. It no longer works. Would you mind emailing me the zip file – or could you fix the link?
Thank you for sharing your talent so freely. I love your site and all the fun ideas.
Many thanks, these are beautiful!
I used the wayback machine to get it.
Hi! I love these and am so excited to use these for my kiddos. Every time I click on the link it says it is forbidden. Is there anyway I can get a new link to download these?
Thank you so so so much for sharing your beautiful talent with all of us!
I would love to use these beautiful prints in primary this year. The zip file is not accessible. Would you mind updating it? Thank you!
Hey Brad! Any way you could send them to me? I can't get them to work either. [email protected]. We just changed buildings last Sunday and I am desperately trying to get stuff up before next Sunday.
I was trying to download these article of faith posters, but when I click on the zip file, it says forbidden. Are you able to email me the files or send as a pdf?
I would love to use these as well. I tried the wayback machine but that didn't work for me either. Your work is amazing. If there is any way to get the file for these I would greatly appreciate it.

One of the two construction workers killed in the hotel collapse in New Orleans over the weekend was a Mississippi native.
Workers are helped after a large portion of a hotel under construction suddenly collapsed in New Orleans on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019. Several construction workers had to run to safety as the Hard Rock Hotel, which has been under construction for the last several months, came crashing down. It was not immediately clear what caused the collapse or if anyone was injured. (Photo: SCOTT THRELKELD / ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Anthony Floyd Magrette of Biloxi died Saturday when the Hard Rock Hotel on Canal Street, under construction, partially collapsed. He was 49.
His body was removed from the wreckage Sunday and his identity was confirmed by the coroner Monday. New Orleans news outlets report his wife and family had kept a vigil at the site in downtown New Orleans until the body was removed.
Magrette was known to family and friends as "The Bubba," according to his obituary. He was currently living in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana.
Efforts to retrieve another body and find the missing worker continued Monday in the dangerously unstable building at the edge of the French Quarter.
Experts also are making plans to stabilize and move a huge crane at the site. Thirty people were injured in the incident.

"Are we doing everything possible to protect American workers from death and injury? And, if not, why not?" Those are the overarching questions posed by Jonathan Karmel—owner of the Karmel Law Firm—in his book, "Dying to Work: Death and Injury in the American Workplace."
In the opening chapters, "Dying to Work" relates the challenges of achieving a safe workplace—including a brief history of workplace safety in the U.S., a discussion in which The Triangle Shirtwaist Fire features prominently. Karmel goes on to highlight the corporate and political forces that are leading the fight against worker safety legislation, and also recommends specific reforms designed to improve worker health and safety in the U.S.
Most interestingly, though, the book features a collection of stories about workers who were killed or injured on the job. As one might expect, there are subsections devoted to risks of being an electrician, logger, oil & gas worker and coal miner, with corresponding horror stories for each occupation.
But it's the personal experiences of grocery clerks and hotel housekeepers—two other surprisingly high-risk occupations—that are the real page-turners. For example, there's the story of a young woman, employed by one this country's major grocery store chains, who lost her right arm in a meat grinder. And the story of another woman, employed by the same company, that was buried alive by more than a hundred cases of bottled water and died of "mechanical asphyxiation due to crushing beneath weight."
The Trump Administration and Worker Health & Safety
Of course, one can't help but notice that this book was published at a particularly relevant time—that is, little more than a year after the election of Donald Trump. As such, "this book stands as a document of the state of worker safety programs in place at the end of Barack Obama's administration," which may be a "high-water mark," as the author puts it.
"With the emergence of a strong anti-regulatory agenda and the deconstruction of the administrative state, advocates for safe workplaces now fear an end to the regulatory progress made in the Obama administration to protect the health and safety of workers," notes Karmel. No doubt advocates have good reason to fear regression. In fact, some of the very first actions taken by the Trump Administration were to repeal rules designed to make workers safer and employers more accountable.
That's one reason why "the prospects for continuing reform look dim," offers Karmel. To be sure, it's difficult to imagine how a less-well funded and resourced OSHA might fare. (At the moment there is just one federal or state inspector for every 74,760 workers).
Yet one way we can continue to make progress—and move away from the tendency to push the blame for death and injury onto workers—is to change the narrative, according to the author. "There needs to be a real shift in how workplace deaths and injuries are described, and we must start by holding accountable those persons responsible for the deaths and injuries that are not accidents," offers Karmel, noting that this "requires a more heightened awareness than currently exists: that all workers to one degree or another, are daily exposed to preventable workplace hazards."
Yet it is an achievable goal. "A new awareness begins with proximity and with using the pronoun 'we.' Workplace health and safety must become a shared responsibility, because we are all at risk," concludes the author. "The stories in this book are but the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Tragically, there is an endless supply of stories about death and injury in the American workplace, enough to fill dozens of books. And, sadly, all these deaths and injuries were preventable. There are no accidents."

What Matters: Multi-Disciplinary Lighting Designer Seth Bernstein on LEGO and Dealing With Anxiety
Posted inWhat Matters
By Debbie MillmanPosted February 8, 2022 ∙ 4 min. read
Debbie Millman has an ongoing project at PRINT titled "What Matters." This is an effort to understand the interior life of artists, designers, and creative thinkers. This facet of the project is a request of each invited respondent to answer ten identical questions and submit a nonprofessional photograph.
Seth Bernstein is a multi-disciplinary lighting designer whose work defies all genre conventions and traditional boundaries. In a single year, you can find his work on television for Saturday Night Live or on a concert stage like Madison Square Garden in New York and the o2 Arena in London.
What is the thing you like doing most in the world?
I live for collaboration and problem-solving. I'm at my best when there's a ticking clock or a group of people gathered around to make something magical. That really came into focus when I joined the team at Saturday Night Live as the film unit lighting designer. Every week, we do in three days what another production would require months to accomplish. I also learned that rising to challenges is a muscle you exercise and strengthen.
With every iteration, you learn when to listen to your gut or to ignore the noise from general anxiety and fear of failure at such a high level.
What is the first memory you have of being creative?
That's a great question. My first memory of being creative dates back to grade school and my LEGO set. I was interested in television production from a very young age and was frustrated that there were pirate ships, police stations, and castles but no television studios!
I remember going to the local toy store to scope out other LEGO kits which had the parts I needed to make my studio. I got the spaceship for the control panels, an army set where the guns looked like cameras, and I ignored all the directions to make my studio.
What is your biggest regret?
I try to live without regret. My visualization is that there's another universe out there where I took "the other path" or made a different decision and that other reality exists out there somewhere. I don't know why. I find that comforting to think about myself in another universe living the opposite reality and being equally happy under different circumstances.
That said, the other universe I'm the most curious about is what would have happened if I had assisted an established lighting designer instead of beating my own path. I never really worked for one of "the greats." Instead, I started as a laborer and figured out my own niche in the fast-evolving entertainment industry.
I guess you could call that my biggest regret.
How have you gotten over heartbreak?
The only times I've gotten over heartbreak is when I've embraced the black and white nature of the before and after instead of trying to find grey areas. It's such a brutal process, but I force myself to acknowledge that I will never be the same after what happened. How am I going to change to continue?
There's sadness and grieving involved in that process for sure, but I keep trying to think about what adjustments I can make as the days and months tick away. Eventually, I feel some success in creating the new me, and the grieving falls away over time.
What makes you cry?
Loss of a loved one and loneliness.
How long does the pride and joy of accomplishing something last for you?
There's a momentary feeling where I feel the floor drop out from under me. Those last seconds while an arena full of people cheer or you witness some bit of magic up close on camera. Then, there's usually a week where the success reverberates around social media or casual conversation. But it's nothing compared to the moment when it happened.
Do you believe in an afterlife, and if so, what does that look like to you?
Oh definitely—I think it's reincarnation in some form or another. You meet a new person, and you get a sense of familiarity but can't place it. Or you're in a new place, and you feel a presence. That's how we live on.
What do you hate most about yourself?
I hate my anxiety and my insomnia. I hate how it takes a toll on my health and limits my energy to fully be there for those around me. However, it's inextricably tied up in my work and process, and I can't ever seem to escape it.
What do you love most about yourself?
I love my decisiveness. I love how quickly I can analyze information and reach deep for a "gut feeling" and then move on.
What is your absolute favorite meal?
It's the simplest—rice, lentils, cumin, and cinnamon. I travel so much that my stomach often needs a reset. That is the only thing that hits the spot. Perhaps it's a holdover from my last reincarnation? I don't know any other explanation why I love this meal so much.

The pace of change is creating job stresses like never before. Globalization is making our world smaller at the same time as artificial intelligence generating serious discussions about entire categories of employment being wiped out.
Toss in climate change, growing economic inequality, and a potentially bumpy ride over trade with our neighbours to the south and you have the recipe for serious career angst.
Uncertainty, however, can also breed opportunity, particularly if one chooses the right educational path. If you're in the mood to "skill up" or simply learn about what's going on at various campuses, check out the articles below.

Q: Generalize the formula :$1=1, 3+5=8, 7+9+11=27, 13+15+17+19=64$ So the solution of this is $n^3$, as $1=1^3, 3+5=2^3, 7+9+11=3^3$
So I find that the $n+1 = m^2+3m+2 + (n_m)(m+1)$ where $n_m$ is the largest number in the previous equation and $m$ is the number of terms in last equation. How can I prove by induction that the solution is $n^3$, do I have to prove $(n+1)^3$ is equal to that or any other method or I prove that $(n+1)^3-n = 2m^2+2m+2+n_m$ (the differience between $(n+1)$ and $n$

A: The sequence is
$$1=1 \  , \ 3+5 = 8 \ , \ 7+9+11 = 27 \ , \ \dots$$
So you can see that
$$a_n = \sum_{k=1}^{1+2+...+n} (2k-1) - \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} a_k =$$
$$\sum_{k=0}^{n(n+1)/2} (2k-1) - a_{n-1} =\frac{1}{4}n^2(n+1)^2 - \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} a_k$$
because you can view the $n$-th term as the sum of $1+2+\dots+n$ odd numbers minus the sum of all the other previous terms ($27 = 1+3+5+7+9+11 - (1)-(3+5)$).
So the base step is clear, now for the inductive one we use strong induction (we say it works from $1$ to $n-1$) then
$$a_{n} = \frac{1}{4}n^2(n+1)^2 - \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} k^3 = \frac{1}{4}n^2(n+1)^2 -\frac{1}{4}(n-1)^2n^2 = n^3$$
so the formula is proven.

A: Approaching by pattern,

*

*We know that sum of first $k$ odd numbers is $k^2$.

*We have $1,2,3,4\ldots$ terms which may be expressed as difference of triangular number of terms
$$ 1 = \underset{1}{\underbrace{1}} - \underset{0}{\underbrace{0}} $$ $$ 3+5 = \underset{\text{first 3 odd}}{\underbrace{(1+3+5)}} - \underset{\text{first odd}}{\underbrace{1}}$$ $$ 7+9+11 = \underset{\text{first 6 odd}}{\underbrace{(1+3+5+7+9+11)}}-\underset{\text{first 3 odd}}{\underbrace{(1+3+5)}}$$
In particular, $n^{th}$ sum is $$\text{sum of first $T_{n}$ odd numbers - sum of first $T_{n-1}$ odd numbers}$$

*

*Thus $n^{th}$ sum is $$ 1 = 1^2 - 0^2 $$ $$ 3+5 = 3^2 - 1^2$$ $$ 7+9+11 = 6^2-3^2$$ $$ 13+15+17+19 = 10^2-6^2$$
In particular, $n^{th}$ sum is $$T_{n}^2-T_{n-1}^2$$
$$=\dfrac{n^2(n+1)^2}{4}-\dfrac{n^2(n-1)^2}{4}$$
$$=\dfrac{n^2}{4}(4n)$$
$$=n^3$$

Note : Once one makes these observations by naked eye, one can simply finish the problem by writing down step $3$ directly.

A: Let us find the general term of $1,3,7,13,\cdots$
As the next consecutive differences are $2,4,6,\cdots$
$$T_n=an(n-1)+b(n-1)(n-2)+cn(n-2)$$
$n=1\implies1=c(1-2),c =-1$
$n=2\implies3=2a$
$n=3,7=6a+2b+3c=3(3)+2b+3(-1),2b=1$
$$\implies T_n=\cdots=n^2-n+1$$
We need  the sum of $n$ terms from $k=n^2-n+1$ to $(n+1)^2-(n+1)+1-1$ with the common difference $=2$
which is $$n(n^2-n+1)+\sum_{k=1}^n(2k)=n^3-n^2+n+\dfrac n2(2+(n-1)2)=?$$

Every manuscript needs editing and having your old English teacher or your niece's friend who is "really good" with spelling just isn't enough.
Recognizing the need to have your manuscript professionally edited is a critical step in publishing a quality book. One of the challenges in finding the right editor is understanding all of the various levels of editing and determining what level your manuscript needs. One of the best descriptions we have found of editorial services is on the Editorial Freelancers Association website in their Code of Fair Practices. The Center recognizes this Code as the Best Practices standard for freelance editors. We highly recommend this organization and their website to help you find an editor for your manuscript.
We are providing this excerpt from the Code of Fair Practices for easy reference here, but recommend you read the entire Code and the other information on the EFA website.
Editorial freelancers perform a variety of tasks that often defy common descriptions of editorial jobs. For example, an editorial freelancer who takes on a copyediting project might also correct logical flaws in narration or make other changes that entail substantive editing. A freelancer doing a proofreading project might impose a consistent style, even though editing for style is generally viewed as the copyeditor's job.
With the increase in electronic publishing, many editorial jobs also take on different perspectives and new tasks. For example, a proofreader might be expected to verify links on a website page. A writer providing content for a website might also code and publish updated pages. Because editorial freelancers apply a variety of skills to their work, both freelancer and client must evaluate a project and agree on its needs. To establish a basis for such a discussion, both parties need to have a working vocabulary of terms that describe editorial functions.
Standardization of terms is lacking among editorial professionals and editorial freelancers themselves often disagree about the definitions of editorial tasks. The following glossary of terms should help to differentiate among editorial functions and so should facilitate communication between editorial freelancers and their clients. These definitions therefore describe editorial tasks but not the requirements for specific jobs or the skills of specific individuals.
Abstracting. Writing a succinct summary or synopsis of a work, often for an academic publication or professional journal. The length, style, and amount of detail in an abstract vary depending on its intended use.
Copyfitting and Page Makeup. Rewriting text to fit format specifications.
Desktop Publishing. Performing publishing functions using personal computers. Common desktop publishing tasks include page layout and design, composition, embedding formatting codes for conventional composition, illustration, typography, indexing, documentation, manipulating and editing graphics, color separation, and preparing documents for online publication.
Evaluating a Manuscript. Reading and reviewing an unpublished manuscript and preparing a written report about the work that addresses the client's specific concerns, such as competition, audience, and timeliness of topic.
Fact Checking. Verifying the accuracy of content. The scope and specific tasks involved vary depending on the type of publication.
Illustrating. Expressing or translating editorial content as a visual image using traditional or electronic media. An illustration may appear on a work's cover, in its interior, or on a website, either as a color or monochrome image. Illustrators are expected to submit finished work in a form ready for production.
choosing, grouping, and consolidating page references under main headings, subheadings, and cross-references as a guide to specific information.
Researching. Gathering and verifying information to develop all or part of a publication.
Translating. Rendering a work from one language to another while preserving the original meaning, tone, and style as much as possible.
Typemarking. Indicating on a manuscript or in electronic files the actual type specifications for each element (for example, heading, displayed material, or list), often by noting codes for each element.
