Nikolaus Storzenbecher or Klaus Störtebeker (1360 – 20 October 1401) was a leader and the best known representative of a companionship of privateers known as the Victual Brothers (German: Vitalienbrüder). The Victual Brothers (Latin "victualia") were originally hired during a war between Denmark and Sweden to fight the Danish and supply the besieged Swedish capital Stockholm with provisions. After the end of the war, the Victual Brothers continued to capture merchant vessels for their own account and named themselves "Likedeelers" (literally: equal sharers).[1][2]

Biography[edit]
A large number of myths and legends surround the few facts known about Klaus Störtebeker's life. Störtebeker is both a nickname and a surname (in 2015 ca. 200 persons in Northern Germany with the surname Störtebeker), meaning "empty the mug with one gulp" in Low Saxon. The moniker refers to the pirate's supposed ability to empty a four-litre (about 1 US gal) mug of beer in one gulp. At this time, pirates and other fugitives from the law often adopted a colorful nom de guerre.
Born in the Baltic port of Wismar, Störtebeker entered public consciousness around 1398, after the expulsion of the Victual Brothers from the Baltic island of Gotland, where they had set up a stronghold and headquarters in the town of Visby. During the following years, Störtebeker and some of his fellow captains (the most famous of whom were Gödeke Michels, Hennig Wichmann and Magister Wigbold) captured Hanseatic ships, irrespective of their origin.[3]
Störtebeker had a stronghold in Marienhafe, East Frisia, dating from about 1396. He married a daughter of the East Frisian chieftain, Keno ten Broke (ca 1310-1376). There still exists a tower bearing his name (Störtebekerturm) at the Evangelical Lutheran Marienkirche in Marienhafe.[4] [5]
Legend[edit]
According to legend, in 1401, a Hamburgian fleet led by Simon of Utrecht caught up with Störtebeker's force near Heligoland. According to some stories, Störtebeker's ship had been disabled by a traitor who cast molten lead into the links of the chain which controlled the ship's rudder. Störtebeker and his crew were captured and brought to Hamburg, where they were tried for piracy. Legend says that Störtebeker offered a chain of gold long enough to enclose the whole of Hamburg in exchange for his life and freedom. However, Störtebeker and all of his 73 companions were sentenced to death and were beheaded on the Grasbrook. The most famous legend of Störtebeker relates to the execution itself. Störtebeker is said to have asked the mayor of Hamburg to release as many of his companions as he could walk past after being beheaded. Following the granting of this request and the subsequent beheading, Störtebeker's body arose and walked past eleven of his men before the executioner tripped him with an outstretched foot. Nevertheless, the eleven men were executed along with the others. The senate of Hamburg asked the executioner if he was not tired after all this, but he replied he could easily execute the whole of the senate as well. For this, he himself was sentenced to death and executed by the youngest member of the senate.[6]
According to legend (but not to history) when dismantling Störtebeker's ship, it was found the masts contained a core of gold (one of gold, one of silver, and one of copper). This was used to create the tip of St. Catherine's church in Hamburg. His famous drinking cup was stored in the town hall of Hamburg, until it was destroyed in the great fire of 1842.[7]
Recent events have suggested it is more likely that Störtebeker and his crew died in 1400. A bill for digging graves for 30 Victual Brothers dated to this year survives in the Hamburg records. This would also suggest the story that Störtebeker was sentenced to death with 70 other privateers is at least misleading; at minimum, he certainly was buried with 30 other men. The year 1400 also excludes the involvement of Simon of Utrecht and the Brindled Cow (Bunte Kuh), since the records show this ship was not completed until 1401. In fact, the Hanseatic fleet that attacked Störtebeker was commanded by Hermann Langhe (also Lange) and Nikolaus Schoke (Nicoalus Schocke), who set sail for Heligoland in August 1400, and the course of the battle is not described by any reliable sources.[8]
Appearance[edit]
No authentic portrait of Störtebeker is known. An etching made by Fifteenth century German artist Daniel Hopfer, often erroneously identified as a portrait of Klaus Störtebeker, is actually of Kunz von der Rosen (1470-1519), court jester of Emperor Maximilian I. However, a tentative reconstruction of Störtebeker's appearance has been made using a skull alleged to be his. This skull, displayed at the museum since 1922, was stolen in January 2010.[9] In March 2011 it was found by the police.[10]
Memorials[edit]
Statues depicting him stand in a number of Northern German cities, including Hamburg, Verden an der Aller and Marienhafe.[11]
Störtebeker Festival (Störtebeker Festspiele) is an open-air theatre event, held annually in the town of Ralswiek on the isle of Rügen.[12]
The term Stoertebekerland has been adopted to promote tourism in East Frisia[13]
Popular culture[edit]
The character of Klaus Störtebeker has appeared in various recent publications including Die Vitalienbrüder: Ein Störtebeker Roman. a German language novel by Willi Bredel (Hinstorff Verlag, 1996, ISBN 978-3356006582)
Störtebeker was portrayed on television by Ken Duken in Störtebeker, a 2006 miniseries based very loosely on his life. He was also the subject of a 2007 documentary and of the feature-length movie 12 Paces Without a Head, in the making in 2008.[14][15]
The German punk band Slime wrote and recorded a song about the exploits of Störtebeker on their album Alle gegen alle. There is also a song by the heavy metal band Running Wild about Störtebeker's life in their album Death or Glory. Another German artist who made a song about Störtebeker is Achim Reichel, who recorded Das Störtebekerlied, which can be found on his album Klabautermann. The opening track on the In Extremo album Quid Pro Quo is named Störtebeker.
The German brewery Störtebeker Braumanufaktur chose their name as a homage to Störtebeker.

To Whom Would We Go
Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life and we have believed and come to know that you are the Holy One of God" -John 6:67-69

New Testament Eschatology: Part 2 of 7 Synoptic Gospels
On July 23, 2019 March 12, 2020 By Ryan
Throughout the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) there is an implied emphasis on Jesus inaugurating the "latter days" as described in the First Testament. This is seen throughout the narratives where the writers refer to lineage, to messianic titles, to prophetic fulfillment, to miraculous signs, and to the arrival of the kingdom of God.[1] As for specific instances of eschatological language throughout the synoptic gospels, there is not much to draw from; however, when it does appear in the writings, the focus is on the future final "age" (Gr. αίων) that is on the horizon.
Matthew uses the phrase the "end of the age" (Gr. συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος) to refer to a future coming final judgement and to refer to Christ's ongoing presence with his people until he comes again (Matt 13:39-40; 24:3; 28:20). Mark 10:30 and Luke 18:30 refer to the saints who will receive "in the age to come, eternal life" (Gr. ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τῷ ἐρχομένῳ ζωὴν αἰώνιον) which is linked with the phrase in Luke 20:34-35 "of that age to attain and in the resurrection from the dead" (Gr. τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐκείνου τυχεῖν καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως τῆς ἐκ νεκρῶν).[2]
Moreover, Luke 1:33 refers to Jesus' messianic reign lasting "into the ages" (Gr. εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας) and "of his kingdom there will be no end" (Gr. τῆς βασιλείας αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἔσται τέλος). Lastly, the synoptic gospels refer to the coming signs and events that precede the "end" (Gr. τέλος).[3] Matthew 24:6 states, "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come" (cf. Mark 13:7; Luke 21:9). Matthew 24:13-14 states, "but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."

New Testament Eschatology: Part 1 of 7 Contextual Background
In order to begin a study on New Testament eschatology, one must understand that the first Christians were Jewish, and so they would have been influenced by Jewish eschatology. Furthermore, the first Christians also lived within the predominant Greco-Roman World, and so the eschatological views of the contextualized Greco-Roman culture should also be explored.
The first Christians were rooted in the Old Testament (I prefer to say First Testament) and Second Temple Judaism and most of the eschatological themes found in the First Testament are also found in Second Temple Jewish literature. At that time, eschatological views were fixed on a series of events in which God would intervene by ending the oppression of Israel and by establishing his rule.[1] The First Testament and Jewish literature often refer to the "latter days" as a time marked by tribulation, persecution, apostasy and exile, which is followed by the culmination of history due to the final arrival of a conquering leader (Messiah) from Israel who would permanently deliver the Israelites and exercise judgment over their enemies.[2] At this time, God would raise from the dead the saints of Israel while establishing a kingdom on earth and entering into a new covenant with Israel. Moreover, some of Israel's enemies (Gentiles) would experience mercy and deliverance by God.[3] Thus, the "latter days" ultimately meant that there would be a future period defined by an irreversible, permanent and extreme change from the preceding period.[4]
For the Israelites, there was a hope of a future greater people, greater covenant, greater land, and greater king. In other words, during the "age to come," there would be a spiritual people who would be the inheritors of the faith, a new covenant that would be written on the hearts of God's people and would supersede the covenant mediated by Moses, a land described as the new heaven and the new earth and a king who would rule and reign through his defeat of evil and of Satan.[5] In Jewish thought, the strong and prevailing conviction was that in the future God would act in a powerful and transformative way on behalf of his people.[6]
The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls (DSS) at Wadi Qumran in 1947 has contributed to the understanding of eschatological thought within Judaism from about 250 BCE to the first century CE. Discovered in the DSS were copies (QNJ collection) of an unknown writing which describes an apocalyptic vision of the renewed heavenly Jerusalem in the eschatological age. This text appears to have relied heavily upon Ezekiel 40-48.[7]
Moreover, the Qumran War Scroll (1QM) depicts a final battle on earth between the redeemed of God or the "Sons of Light," led by the warrior angels Melchizedek and Michael, and the forces of evil or the "Sons of Darkness." The "Sons of Light" defeat the "Sons of Darkness." However, the text is more theological in nature than a military composition, and it appears to have been influenced by Daniel 7-9, Isaiah 24-27, Zechariah 12-14 and 1 Enoch.[8]
Greco-Roman Thought
The ancient Greek religions and philosophies had numerous views on life after death or on last states of the cosmos. The tales of Homer portrayed the idea of an underworld where dreary souls wandered after death;[9] by contrast, Plato believed that the soul is the divine self that exists eternally and is preferred over the physical body. In fact, in his view, the physical body incarcerates the soul after a fall from the eternal realm. Therefore, the soul needs a liberation from the body followed by a series of reincarnations in order to return to the eternal realm with the One.[10] According to Plato, only noble souls would survive the death-reincarnation cycle and arrive at a state of perfect and ascending knowledge.[11]
Other Greek philosophers believed that upon death people would transform into a star in the galaxy or undergo a reincarnation of some sorts. The Epicureans advocated for an absolute non-existence or complete extinction after death.[12] Epicurus writes, "Death is nothing to us; for the body, when it has been resolved into its elements, has no feeling, and that which has no feeling is nothing for us."[13] Another ancient belief of the afterlife is that the deceased continued to live a peaceful, soulish life in the tomb. This is supported by archaeological discoveries of ancient tombs that had openings so that gifts, food and drinks could be delivered.[14]
The Stoic philosophers believed in an endless, repeating cycle of the cosmos. When one cosmic cycle completed, another cycle began repeating the same ordered history. Thus, upon death, a soul would be temporarily extinct until the current cosmic cycle ended and then restarted. Chrysippus sums up this view by writing, "Socrates and Plato will exist again and every man with his friends and his fellow citizens; he will suffer the same and do the same and do the same. Every city, every village and field will grow again. And this restoration will not happen once, but the same will return without limit and end."[15]
In view of all these ancient Greco-Roman beliefs, Hubbard explains that Greek philosophers were united on one point: "their denial of a bodily resurrection."[16] This point is in sharp contrast with Jewish eschatology and as we will see with New Testament eschatology.
New Testament Eschatology
As mentioned earlier, the first Christians were Jewish, and so they were influenced by the First Testament and by Jewish eschatology; therefore, it should not be surprising that the Christian New Testament writers followed the First Testament's use of the phrase "latter days." While the New Testament's use of "latter days" has the same overall meaning as in the First Testament, the New Testament uniquely views the "latter days" as beginning their fulfillment in the life and ministry of Jesus and as continuing until Jesus' final return.[17] G.K. Beale writes,
The OT expectations of the great tribulation, God's domination of the Gentiles, deliverance of Israel from oppressors, Israel's resurrection, the new covenant, the new creation and the establishment of God's kingdom have been set in motion by Christ's death and resurrection and in the emergence of the Christian church.[18]

Early Church Eschatology
On April 11, 2019 March 12, 2020 By Ryan
Similar to the New Testament writers (a post for another day), the Early Church understood that they were living in the last days. For example, Ignatius wrote "these last times" (Gr. έσχατοι καιροί, Ign. Eph. 11.1) and that Jesus Christ "at the end appeared" (Gr. ἐν τέλει ἐφάνη, Ign. Magn. 6.1). Clement and Barnabas describe their present moment as "the last days" (Gr. ἐσχάτων τῶν ἡμέρῶν, 2 Clem 14:2; Barn. 12:9; 16:5) and that Christians through Jesus have been given the firstfruits of the taste of things future (Gr. τῶν μελλόντων δοuς ἀπαρχaς ἡμῖν γεύσεως, Barn. 1.7). Thus, the Apostolic Fathers followed the NT writers in the inaugurated aspect of the end times. In fact, some writers had such a heightened notion of inaugurated eschatology that they compared their present Christian experience to the blessings of the Garden of Eden (Diogn. 12), and possibly with this view, the "seer" in the Shepherd of Hermas even asks the question of whether "the consummation had already arrived" (Herm. Vis. 3.8.9).[1]
Also following the NT writers, the Early Church connected the latter-day new creation theme with their present Christian experience. Ignatius explained that Christ introduced "the newness of eternal life" (Ign. Eph. 19.3) by himself becoming a "new man" (Ign. Eph. 20.1) as a result of his resurrection.[2] According to the Early Church, resurrection occurs first spiritually in the present and is the means by which people enter into the new creation. This inaugurated resurrection of Christians is due to their participation with Christ's resurrection (Ign. Magn. 9; Ign. Trall. 9.2. Cf. 1 Clem. 24.1; Pol. Phil. 2.2; Barn. 5.6-7).[3]
Furthermore, the Early Church had similar views as the NT writers regarding their present tribulation as a sign of the inaugurated last days. Barnabas refers to "the deception of the present age" (Gr. τnν πλάνην τοῦ νῦν καιροῦ, Barn. 4.1) and understands that the present vantage point is that people are living "in the age of lawlessness" (Gr. ἐν τῷ ἀνόμῳ καιρῷ, Barn, 4.9). The Shepherd of Hermas mentions that "great tribulations" (Gr. μεγάλας θλίψεις, Herm. Vis. 2.7.1) have already been endured which apparently prepares Christians to "endure the coming great tribulation" (Gr. ὑπομένετε τnν θλῖψιν τnν ἐρχομένην τnν μεγάλην, Herm. Vis. 2.7.1).[4]
While believing in the present inaugurated latter days, early christian writers believed in the "age to come" (Gr. o αἰων o ἐπερχόμεός, Herm. Vis. 4.3.5).[5] Early Christian writers and teachers such as Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Tertullian followed the NT writers in their belief of the future consummated resurrection of the body when Christ's returns in his resurrected body.[6] Similar to the NT writers, early Christian writers believed that other events (i.e. great tribulation, appearance of the antichrist, judgement) would be linked with Christ's return. Hippolytus wrote, "When he [antichrist] makes war against the saints, and persecutes them, then we may expect the manifestation of the Lord from heaven."[7] Justin Martyr wrote, "He [Jesus] shall come from heaven with glory, when the man of apostasy, who speaks strange things against the most High, shall venture to do unlawful deeds on the earth against Christians."[8] Thus, the Early Church mostly agreed that the return of Christ would come after the period of great tribulation and would involve the resurrection of believers.[9]
The Early Church emphasized the literal interpretation of Revelation 20:1-6 which describes the reign of Christ upon the earth for one thousand years (millennium). Papias wrote, "there will be a period of a thousand years after the resurrection from the dead when the kingdom of Christ will be set up in material form on this earth."[10] Justin Martyr wrote, "I and others who are right-minded Christians on all points, are assured that there will be a resurrection of the dead and a thousand years in Jerusalem, which will then be built, adorned and enlarged."[11] Irenaeus and Tertullian held similar views concerning the millennium; thus, suffice it to say, many influential Early Church writers held to what has been called the "historic premillennialism" view—Christ returns, Christians bodily resurrected, Christians reign with Christ on earth for one thousand years.[12]
Like the NT writers, the Early Church believed in a future final judgement after Christ's return. The Athanasian Creed summarized this belief by explaining that Christ "will come to judge the living and the dead. At his coming all people will rise again with their bodies and will give account for their own works. Those who have done good will go into eternal life, and those who have done evil will go into eternal fire."[13] Athenagoras and Hippolytus further explained that the "eternal fire" for those who have done evil does not equate to annihilationism—that people would cease to exist, but rather the final state for them is that of a conscious eternal punishment.[14]
Lastly, the Early Church followed the NT writers hope of the new heavens and the new earth in the future. However, there was some disagreement within the Early Church about how this would take place. Irenaeus believed that a divine renewal of the existing heavens and earth would occur, whereas, Tertullian and Melito of Sardis believed in a total annihilation of the current heavens and earth before the creation of the new.[15] Therefore, along with their "historic premillennialism" views, the Early Church believed that unbelievers will be resurrected after the one thousand year reign, followed by final judgment and then God establishes the eternal state of heaven and hell.[16]

Modified Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 Finds The Most Unusual Position For Its Meters
August 31, 2019 | Karan Tripathi
Custom motorcycles need to stand out and to achieve that, builders often place form over function. Tweaked by K-Speed, this modified Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 has found the most unusual place for its instruments which measure the engine's and the motorcycle's speed. The factory-fitted dials are now placed vertically on a metal plate, next to the engine.
Besides the quirky, this motorcycle has been fitted with massive knobblies, where the pattern is so aggressive, it looks like it could crush everything that comes in its way. The front and rear section are a massive 130/60, wrapped around blacked-out rims. The scrambler-styled build has been fitted with twin Diablo pipes, with heat shielding in the middle to protect the rider's skin and a shehnai-like end can. Exposed portions of the engine have been fitted with shields and there are custom side panels with mesh openings for the airbox to suck in more of it.
The rear section has been chopped and fitted with a custom saddle, a metal bash plate has been fitted underneath the motor, and there's an LED light upfront. The standard handlebar which comes with a brace has been replaced with a wider, custom pipe which also gets simpler switches and most of the components have been blacked out to achieve visual stealth. We would've loved it even more if the standard front forks were replaced with USDs with massive travel to go with those knobblies.

Coming back to standard bikes, Royal Enfield has been busy upgrading its 350cc and 500cc line up of motorcycles, which will be ready to meet the upcoming BS-VI norms. Expected to be launched a few months before the norms are in effect, the Classic and Thunderbird range will get revised styling, modern switches and dials, and will be built better. Although not much is known about the changes which will happen to the engine, it is being said that the 350cc and 500cc models will be shunned for one motor which will find a middle ground in terms of cubic capacity. We'll keep you posted with more information on that. Until then, stay tuned!

Interested in a $20-an-hour job 'driving' a Google self-driving car?
By Bruce Brown	 May 13, 2016
If you're looking for a job and you live around Phoenix, Arizona, your ship may have just come in. Or rather, your driverless car. Google is hiring $20-per-hour "vehicle safety specialists" for its self-driving car testing in the Phoenix suburb of Chandler, as reported in The Arizona Republic.
According to the job listing, the job with Alphabet Inc., which owns Google, requires a Bachelor's degree, clean criminal and driving records, and the ability to type at least 40 words per minute. The jobs will call for six to eight hour days, five days a week, under 12- to 24-month contracts.
Testers will work in teams of two per vehicle, one behind the wheel to take over if necessary. The other tester will sit in the passenger seat with a laptop documenting the testing and submitting reports. The "passenger" needs to focus constantly on a range of software systems and give Google engineers concise written and oral feedback.
Google's Self-Driving Car testing program head of operations Brian Torcellini said, "Test drivers play an important role in developing our self-driving technology. They give our engineers feedback about how our cars are driving and interacting with others on the road, and can take control of the vehicle if needed."
While the overall purpose of the positions, besides preventing the cars from causing any harm, is to collect data for the engineering teams, it's easy to see that this job could become the beginning of a career path. Autonomous car development is ongoing around the world, but on-road testing and documentation, using technology and reporting tools and systems that both are bound to grow in sophistication over time, could quickly fill a resume. It's important to note, however, that specific details must be kept confidential.
Occasional travel for up to a month at a time may be required for Google self-driving car vehicle safety specialists, so if you're not tied down, that could work in your favor as well. "The role of test driver is so new that there isn't a particular type of person that we look for," Torcellini said. "We've hired people from all types of backgrounds, from English teachers to orbital welders. In general, they need to be excellent drivers who pay really close attention to the road and can predict the social aspects of driving. Local drivers will be great for testing in the Phoenix area because they know the roads and local driving norms better."

Say good bye to stretchmarks with Esthe Clinic!
I have been to a handful of clinics, trying to find a way to remove my stretchmarks but they all showed really MINIMAL improvement despite countless of sessions thus, I was slightly skeptical (as I always am) when I first went to Esthe Clinic esp since they are so afforable??? Considering that they are near town area - Many of the clinics I've been too were way more pricey.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who always thinks pricier = better. Now I dare say, that's so NOT TRUE.
Consultation is FREE so if you have questions just ring em' up or head down and spam them with questions. The staff there are all really friendly (and pretty!) so don't be shy.
Also, you can quote 'ANGELINE' at Esthe Clinic for 10% off ALL treatments!
!!!ATTENTION: PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN FROM MY 1ST EVER SESSION WITH THEM IN AUGUST!!!
Please tell me it's not just my eyes playing tricks on me and you can tell the difference as well?
When I first went to them they told me my stretchmarks could only be improved by 40%-60% and that I had to go for at least 15-20 sessions before seeing results, I was quite sad... BUT WT* I THINK THEY WERE JUST TRYNA BE HUMBLE?!
I am ONLY AT MY 5TH SESSION (If I'm not wrong) and I feel like my stretchmarks have already improved by 60% if not MORE.
AND... THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS LIKE NOW.
Just took this like 10 seconds ago.
EstheClinic anti-stretch mark treatments uses LED photomodulation combined with radiofrequency to boost cellular metabolism, regenerate cells and lead to a gradual and sustained dermal-epidermal restructuring of damaged tissue.
Thermo-controlled Radiofrequency is a non-invasive procedure to induce collagen production. By heating the skin, radiofrequency helps collagen regain its original structure, and causes the proliferation of the fibroblasts. The skin is tightened, firmer and smoother, the red color of recent stretch marks disappear, swelling on the outer edges of stretch marks is reduced, and the stretch marks are filled and smoothed.
Le DermaBooster XL and its 1040 titanium micro-needles stimulates the skin deep down thanks. It is extremely effective for treating stretch marks, as it promotes a wound healing process, flooding collagen and elastin to the scars, promoting skin renewal and regeneration.
LED Photomodulation : the light emitted by the LED is a cold monochromatic light which is a non-invasive and painless procedure. Photomodulation is a new approach to photoactivate the fibroblasts without thermal effect, in order to stimulate new collagen growth. LED photomodulation will help break down the denser sub-dermal scarring while stimulating superficial circulation, reducing flaccidity and thickening the thin, paperlike characteristics of stretch marks. It also assists in softening and flattening the stretch marks.
I will still continue updating my progress here so keep checkin' back!
How much did it cost for each session?
Hi any recent update on how the final result of your stretch marks ?
I m thinking of doing it with them as I have terrible SM after birth. Thanks babe.

UK Supreme Court rules Uber drivers are workers
fadminon 19/02/2021 Leave a Comment on UK Supreme Court rules Uber drivers are workers
Ride hailing taxi app firm Uber must classify its drivers as workers rather than self-employed, the UK's Supreme Court has ruled.
The decision means tens of thousands of Uber drivers are set to be entitled to minimum wage and holiday pay.
The ruling could leave Uber facing a hefty compensation bill, and have wider consequences for the gig economy.
In a long-running legal battle, Uber had appealed to the Supreme Court after losing three earlier rounds.
'Massive achievement'
Former Uber drivers James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam, who originally won an employment tribunal against the ride hailing app giant in October 2016, told the BBC they were "thrilled and relieved" by the ruling.
"I think it's a massive achievement in a way that we were able to stand up against a giant," said Mr Aslam, president of the App Drivers & Couriers Union (ADCU).
"We didn't give up and we were consistent – no matter what we went through emotionally or physically or financially, we stood our ground."
Uber appealed against the employment tribunal decision but the Employment Appeal Tribunal upheld the ruling in November 2017.
The ride hailing taxi app firm then took the case to the High Court, which upheld the ruling again in December 2018.
The ruling on Friday was Uber's last appeal, as the Supreme Court is Britain's highest court, and it has the final say on legal matters.
'Drivers are struggling'
A key point in the Supreme Court's ruling is that Uber has to consider its drivers "workers" from the time they log on to the app, until they log off.
Uber drivers typically spend time waiting for people to book rides on the app. Previously, the firm had said that if drivers were found to be workers, then it would only count the time during journeys when a passenger is in the car.
"This is a win-win-win for drivers, passengers and cities. It means Uber now has the correct economic incentives not to oversupply the market with too many vehicles and too many drivers," said James Farrar, ADCU's general secretary.
"The upshot of that oversupply has been poverty, pollution and congestion."
However, questions still remain about how the new classification will work, and how it affects gig economy workers who work not only for Uber, but also for other competing apps.
Mr Aslam, who claims Uber's practices forced him to leave the trade as he couldn't make ends meet, is considering becoming a driver for the app again. But he is upset that it took so long.
"It took us six years to establish what we should have got in 2015. Someone somewhere, in the government or the regulator, massively let down these workers, many of whom are in a precarious position," he said.
Mr Farrar points out that with fares down 80% due to the pandemic, many drivers have been struggling financially and feel trapped in Uber's system.
"We're seeing many of our members earning £30 gross a day right now," he said, explaining that the self-employment grants issued by the government only cover 80% of a driver's profits, which isn't even enough to pay for their costs.
"If we had these rights today, those drivers could at least earn a minimum wage to live on."

Sonal Powar has been working in the digital media industry for almost a decade. She has seen the way internet has evolved in last few years. After noticing the time her nephew spends online- and alone- she decided to figure out a way to safely monitor children who spend too much time in the world of virtual reality. So she started Wise Netizen just for this reason.
Nowadays all teens love to be on Facebook, it has become part of their real life. According to a recent survey, children as young as seven are spending so much time on technology than with family that it is affecting the relationships between parents and kids. You should know what your child is doing on Facebook and other social media platforms. Do they chat, play games, likes pages? There are no firm guidelines about how many hours a teen should be on social media, this can change from parent to parent. The real question is whether time on the site is interfering with your child's daily life, and is negatively affecting his/her life.
Wise Netizen is a non-profitable initiative. At Wise Netizen, you will see a large variety of tools to help your tween and yourself. A netizen is defined on the site as a citizen of the Internet. And a wise one knows how to protect himself or herself from the dangers that lurk in every e-nook and cranny.
-Are they spending more time alone so that they can log onto Facebook?
-Are they spending a lot of time in the bedroom by themselves?
-Are they irritable or staying up too late for no apparent reason?
-Are they doing worse in studies because of too much of studies?
-Are they avoiding him hobby or going out with friends to be on Facebook?
Some teens spend excessive time on Facebook because they might be facing issues like stress, depression, low self-esteem or loneliness. Parents need to explain their kids about the pros and cons of internet and help them to use it wisely.
If you think your child is under depression, talk to them about what is going on in him life. Try to solve their problem. Tap into your child's interests and find an activity they will enjoy.
1) Set family internet rules. Example: computer should be placed in family area like living room, usage time. Make sure that these rules are followed seriously by everyone in your family.
2) Make sure that your child understands that he/she needs to think before they post any content online.
3) Join the social media websites and stay active on it. Keep a watch on your child's profile.
4) Don't threaten to take away your child's computer if he comes to you with a problem. This only forces kids to be more secretive.
As parents we are always concerned about thier kids entering into the world of internet, but with a little parental control, internet can be a very useful for your child.
Check out the site and encourage your child to take a look at it, as well, so as to maintain their safety and teach them about being careful online.

CAIR-AZ Rep Reflects on Life After 9/11
Initially, Fawzia Tung didn't think the attacks on Sept. 11 really affected her life. She was wrong. She soon realized it had a big impact on the way she viewed her religion.
Tung, 50, is a Chinese Muslim living in Phoenix and working for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. But it was only after the attacks that Tung unconsciously took her life down a more politically active path.
At the time of the attacks, Tung was a stay-at-home mom to seven children. She felt very free living in the U.S., able to practice her faith openly. She had no qualms about wearing her scarf in public because nobody paid any notice. But things changed the day the four planes crashed.
"Right after it happened, I was terribly conscious I was wearing a scarf," she said. "I felt like everybody was looking at me."
Her husband urged her to stay home if she could. He would do the grocery shopping, a monumental offer. For Tung, it was stay home or heed her husband's advice to go out without her scarf, an option she had never until that moment considered.
"I know a number of friends who took it (the scarf) off right after 9/11," she said.
Tung was conflicted. She always considered her relationship with Allah a private one. But her scarf became a symbol in the wake of the attacks.
"It was never a social thing before. All of a sudden it became something different," Tung said.
A woman at a garage sale told Tung she supported her and held no ill will toward Muslims.
She decided to stand tall for her religion. Tung went to work at an Islamic school and later joined the staff at CAIR.
Looking back, Tung believes the social effects of the attacks had a positive influence on her.
"I didn't do anything particularly Islamic before that," she said. "I was just living my life."


bet365, bwin and plenty more sites also accept deposit and withdrawals via this online wallet. There are so many betting sites that take Skrill that it would probably be easier to list the sites that do not!
Dozens of sports betting sites accept Skrill as both a deposit and payout option, and once you have joined the masses of Skrill users and experienced the excellent, fast service, there is no doubt that you will become a loyal customer, too.
There are many reasons why players use Skrill as their preferred payment method, one being that it only takes a few minutes to create an account. Once you have completed the registration form and uploaded funds to your Skrill wallet, you can make secure payments within seconds, and withdraw your funds from betting sites quickly and easily, with instant withdrawals from Skrill to your bank account.
Skrill's popularity is also attributed to the fact that you can keep your funds in multiple currencies (you can choose from 40 currencies) and there is even the option to acquire a Skrill Prepaid MasterCard, which you can use to spend at millions of shops or withdraw from ATMs worldwide.
Low withdrawal fees, the option to send money to fellow Skrill users, and a competitive exchange rate all contribute to Skrill continued success.


Medicare rules and private insurance plans can affect people differently depending on where they live. To make sure the answers here are as accurate as possible, Phil is working with the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP). It is funded by the government but is otherwise independent and trains volunteers to provide consumer Medicare counseling in state and local offices around the country. The non-profit Medicare Rights Center is also providing on-going help.
Moeller is a research fellow at the Center on Aging & Work at Boston College and co-author of "How to Live to 100." Follow him on Twitter @PhilMoeller or e-mail him at medicarephil@gmail.com.
Susan – N.Y.: I am 66, pretty healthy and take few medications. But those that I take are considered the highest tier in my drug plan and I now pay ridiculously more — hundreds of dollars each month — for my prescriptions than I did when I was on regular health insurance. Is there any help for me?
Phil Moeller: These drug-plan tiers are one of the sneaky ways that health insurers exercise what amounts to bait-and-switch pricing tactics with consumers. They will never call it that, and the Maven may need to don a disguise when picking up his own prescription drugs. But many Medicare drug plans – both Part D and plans that are part of Medicare Advantage policies – offer very low premiums to get you in the door. Then they sock you with large deductibles and unappealing co-pays. Adding high-cost tiers to their drug formularies is yet another way health insurers are shifting costs back to Medicare beneficiaries. There, I feel better, but I haven't helped Susan, have I?
Assuming your claims are at least being approved by your insurer, one option is to ask your drug plan for what's called a "tiering exception." In this instance, you would request that one or more of your drugs be billed using lower cost-sharing ratios. Your doctor would need to be involved with the request, and show that other drugs on the plan's formulary that are approved to treat the same condition didn't work or had intolerable or unsafe side-effects for you, or are likely to because of your unique medical situation. Unfortunately, drugs characterized as "specialty tier" cannot qualify for the tiering exception.
If your income and assets are limited, let someone at the New York SHIP see if you will qualify for the Extra Help program for prescription drugs. And if you get no relief from that, you may be able to apply to the manufacturer for assistance. Two places that offer help here are the Partnership for Drug Assistance and NeedyMeds.
It may be only a small consolation but there is what amounts to a cap on your out-of-pocket drug expenses. Unfortunately, to get there you will first have to go through the dreaded Medicare coverage gap or, as it's more commonly known, the donut hole. It kicks in this year after your total drug expenses have hit $2,960. This includes what your drug plan has spent plus your own spending. Once your total out-of-pocket spending has hit $4,700 you'll be out of the gap and will face only small drug payments the rest of the year.
Within the coverage gap, however, you will be on the hook for 45 percent of branded drug costs and 35 percent of generics. Also, while you pay only 45 percent of the cost of brand drugs, 95 percent of the cost will be credited to you as an out-of-pocket expense in meeting donut-hole rules. For generic drugs, only what you pay will be credited toward your out-of-pocket spending. The donut hole is shrinking each year under provisions of the Affordable Care Act, but it's still a most unpleasant surprise to Medicare beneficiaries with expensive drug needs.
This fall, make sure you aggressively shop all Medicare drug plans that will be available to you in 2016. Use Medicare's Plan Finder to create a list of your prescription drugs. Then, see what these drugs will cost you in these plans. Hopefully, you will be able to find a better deal than you did this year.
Richard – Mich.: I am retired, receiving Social Security, and will be turning 65 in the spring. I am also a veteran, and enrolled in the VA Health Benefits program this past year. I keep hearing about all these penalties and higher premiums outside of Medicare if one doesn't initially sign up. Should I enter into an additional plan initially just to avoid future additional costs (if I were to opt out of the VA program at some future point), or should I decline now and try to remain with the VA for as long as possible?
Phil Moeller: This is a great question and affects many veterans. Strong and responsive VA programs are the least we can do for our veterans. And there are some terrific VA benefits, such as over-the-counter drugs and hearing aids, that the VA covers and Medicare generally does not. Plus, the VA is unsurpassed in its experience in war-related injuries and traumas.
But as the recent scandal involving the widespread denial of care and even appointments illustrates, the VA is not at this time a single source of medical help that veterans should rely on. Until it has improved, I cannot recommend that you limit your care options only to VA facilities. Also, there may be situations where the VA doesn't cover your needs but Medicare will.
For these reasons, I'd enroll in basic Medicare (here's our primer) to preserve your rights to seek care outside the VA system should you need it. If you have problems affording Medicare premiums, check out Medicare Savings Programs to see if they can help. Medicare and VA benefits do not "work" together. This means that Medicare will not pay for any health care services, including drugs, provided by or through a VA facility. Likewise, VA will only pay for what it provides, which excludes what you'd get from non-VA providers.
However, if your VA facilities are convenient to you, you might consider holding off on signing up for a Medicare drug plan. VA's drug plan is considered creditable coverage under Medicare rules, meaning that it is at least as good as a Medicare drug plan. Thus, it should meet your needs. If it turns out it does not, the fact that the VA plan is deemed creditable coverage means you would face no late-enrollment penalty for waiting to get a Medicare drug plan. You would face such a penalty if you did not sign up for Part B of Medicare and later changed your mind. The penalty would raise your Part B premiums by 10 percent for each year you delayed coverage, and these higher premiums would never go away.
Colleen – Mich.: Is it true that Medicare won't cover medical care from a car accident?
Phil Moeller: That's not true. Medicare is available to help, although the program may take steps to make sure it's not paying for things that should be covered by your auto insurance policy or that of another driver if they were at fault in the accident.
In most cases, these auto insurance policies will be the primary payers. If there are medical bills that liability or auto insurance won't cover, or won't cover in a timely manner, Medicare might pay primary on those claims. You should talk with your health care provider about billing Medicare as the "conditional" primary payer. In this situation, Medicare will pay expenses so that you don't have to pay them yourself, and will later work to recover its funds from other insurers. Medicare may send you a letter asking you to identify any other insurance that may have accepted liability for the accident.

Q: Enable CORS with Hazelcast I am currently using Hazelcast to expose a RestAPI for an Angular Client.
Is there any way to allow CORS on our Hazelcast server ?
I can't find anything about that in their documentation.

A: Hazelcast is not designed to be exposed to the Internet, that said the REST API is not designed to be used by web applications directly. If you use node.js you might consider using the node.js client.
To answer the question itself: CORS is not supported for the reason stated above.

There are many kinds of themes that you can want for your wedding day, and hopefully no two wedding days will ever be exactly the same. But there are particularly popular ones, of course, and it might be that your own desires do fit in with these pretty well. One kind of theme for a wedding which you might be keen to employ is the grand one, in which you make the day feel something like an old traditional style ball or similar. But if you are to get this right, you will need to pay attention to a few key things. In this post, we will look at what those key things are, and discuss how you can ensure you get them right, in order to create a truly wonderful grand feeling for your wedding day.
This is one wedding where the choice of venue will really make a huge difference to how successful the day is, as you are unlikely to be able to create a positively grand experience for yourself and your guests if you do not manage to find a grand venue at first. This is also the first thing to look for, as venues book out fast and you will want to get a date booked in as fast as you can. It is best to look around at places which are both grand in the way you want and are set up to receive a wedding, as this makes things considerably easier. You should be able to find many kinds of venue which cater for such a need, ranging from stately old mansions to cheap banquet halls and so on. Get the venue right, and you should be pretty happy yet with the generosity of your wedding day.
For a grand wedding, you need to make sure that the food is not just normal quality wedding food, but something more like a true feast. This is of course considerably more expensive to make happen, but it might be worth the extra money if it means that you end up with a wedding day which is especially grand in the end. If you fail to provide a true feast, it will only take away from the day on the whole, and chances are that will not be a good look, so make sure that you have thought about the food from as early on as possible if you want to make the day as grand as you can.
It goes without saying that the dress will take a lot of deciding, as it always does, but if you are hoping for a wedding with a grand effect, then it is going to be especially the case, and it's something you will absolutely want to make sure of. What's more, you will need to think about much more than the dress here, as just as important will be the outfit for the groom and all the wedding party. With everyone looking as truly dapper as possible, you will achieve much more of the grand effect that you are looking for.
Nice post! On the most auspicious day of our life, Our Wedding day, We all dream to look extraordinary special and looking for the World's most amazing wedding reception venue for your special day. So, BRIDE online is here to help you make your decision.

This new collection of Rugs have been inspired in Morocco and showcases several stunning desings in thick plush hand carved wool.
These Modern Rugs from Flair rugs combine neutral shades and rich tones that all show clearly the incredible 3D carved effect, that provides a touch of a classic design for any room with 5 designs and colours you should be able to find one to match the decor of your room. Three standard sizes means you should be able to find one to fit the space you have to fill.
With a deep, luxurious pile and an aesthetic that's clearly inspired by the east, Moorish rugs are the perfect blend of comfort and design. Intricate and ornate patterns come as standard with each one of the Moorish rugs range, set against a tonal spectrum that includes soft beige and bright, vivid red. In order to marry a sense of modern design with the Moroccan inspiration, you'll find that the Moorish rugs range are manufactured to the highest possible standard with a pattern that evokes imagery of far-flung locales. The irresistibly sumptuous pile makes the Moorish rugs range a real modern essential.

Q: How do I develop a non-UI client-side GWT library? I wish to write a shared library to be used in various GWT applications. The shared library will leverage GWT APIs and should not be able to use non-emulated Java classes.
Two questions:

*

*Is there a plugin for Eclipse that will let me use GWT APIs and flag if I use a non-emulated class (but will simply build a compliant jar rather than a war)? (I know that the standard plugin does this when working in the 'client' area, I just want the same behaviour for the entire source tree)

*If not, is there a Maven/Ant plugin that will help?

A: For a GWT library, you have to include a GWT module (*.gwt.xml file) and the *.java files in your *.jar (or in a distinct JAR if you prefer).
AFAIK, the Google Plugin for Eclipse uses the information from the *.gwt.xml files, the client subpackage is not hard-coded; so you should be able to use it the same way as with a GWT application.
Finally, you can call the GWT compiler with the argument -validateOnly to check that your GWT module uses only translatable classes.

A: I am pretty sure that you can't develop a gwt shared library and pack it into a jar file. Gwt require access to all source code when compiling files. It can't read class files at all. Or have I misunderstood what you are trying to do?

Dasha Does Poetry
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Monday, November 04, 2019
Dasha is a student of mine. She's originally from Russia, but lives in Texas now, and is somewhere around my own age. She's an advanced student. We're working on finding very specific pronunciation issues and developing more advanced writing skills.
We've played with writing a few different things. We did some writing where we pretended we were exchanging business emails. That was useful, but probably a little too easy for her. Fiction is a little more difficult to write, so we mostly write prose. But, we did do poetry one time. It was kind of amazing. It's probably not quite as useful for learning English because the rules in poetry are quite different than normal language, and just too flexible.
I did the first stanza, she did the second, and we kept alternating from there. After she writes her paragraph or stanza then I go through doing some editing while we discuss different options on spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax, word selection, tense, point-of-view…
I Went to a Writing Group - October 23rd, 2019
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Sunday, November 03, 2019
The writing prompt looked simple and easy enough, but it was deceptively complex.
We were just given three nouns: rage, lobster, sandwich. From there it was up to you. I was a little surprised at how similar most of the stories were. It was a good reminder for me that I have a neotenous, or childlike, perspective in life. I tend to be more imaginative, playful, and engaged with the magical and mysterious.
Lonny the lobster was a friendly chap. He had had a long and eventful life. Now, he no longer felt the urge to get in fights, to participate in the series of constant battles necessary to work one's way up the social hierarchy. No, all of that was behind him now.
Lonny had chosen his own little lobster-sized cave out of everyone else's way. Every day he would walk to the reef where a friend of his had opened a sandwich shop. Lonny was on his way there now. Leaving a trail of uneven footsteps behind him, the result of injuries that had never healed, and would nev…
Leading a Writing Group - Session 11
In this session we went over the idea of flashbacks, where we go to an earlier time in the story. Then I introduced the prompt, a very difficult prompt to do off the cuff with a short story, time travel (and the crowd goes "Ooooohh").
The eight-year-old wrote about a time machine that went wrong. There were bunnies involved. She intended it to be a horror story, but it didn't come out that way. In the story she broke the fourth wall, meaning she talked to the reader as a reader, which was pretty awesome.
The eleven-year-old had someone walk to the other side of a river, and crossing that threshold threw them back in time. He included some nice details like the main character getting out of bed with messy hair.
The thirteen-year-old had an interaction between three young siblings: Jack, Katie, and Josh. The youngest one, the seven-year-old, pushed the wrong button in the time machine. There was some confusion between grey and red. Maybe some color blindness was involved.
I Went to a Writing Group - October 9th, 2019
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Tuesday, October 15, 2019
Sometimes it seems like life is one giant obstacle.
The prompt was about facing obstacles.
When telling any story, the main character's desire is crucial. This desire forms the backbone of the plot, as the obstacles that prevent your character from achieving what they want and how your character responds to these obstacles drives the story.
Write a story or scene in which your protagonist faces an obstacle. What is this obstacle? How does it stand in the way of your character and what they desire? How does your character respond to this obstacle?
Notice the name that I use in this story. I was thinking of Robert the Bruce, who was a Scottish king at one time, and Lenny Bruce, who was a legendary American comedian. Also, just before we started writing someone mentioned a town called Eden. And I'm reading "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson right now. I think all of that combined a bit in this story.
I only had two students for the writing group, but it went well.
The idea that we covered was personification. That's when you take something that isn't a person and make it seem like a person. In kids' cartoons this might be a singing and dancing carrot. In poetry this might be a cloud that is described as happy or sad. It is used a lot, and it's great.
The prompt for the day was "big tree." We talked about the biggest trees that we've seen. Neither of the girls have seen the redwoods or the sequoias, which are amazing, but they have encountered other rather large oaks and pines.
The youngest wrote about a dragon that was in the top of a tree. A person climbed up to help the dragon, named it Tiny, and fed it a cow.
The oldest wrote about a palm tree that was all alone, but who eventually was able to find his own kind. The tree was personified.
Here's what I did.
Seventy-five dollars. Bucky von Buckminster would make seventy-five dollars…
88.9 Hey Radio, Cloudland, and Me
I love the name Cloudland. Let me paint you a quick picture about a time I went mountain climbing.
I was 19 and I was halfway through a crazy adventure. I had ridden a bus from Michigan to Washington State for four days. I rode my mountain bike across the desert and over the Cascade Mountains, from Yakima to Mount Rainier, in three days. Now, I was on the second day of my two-day climb of Mt. Rainier. It's a fast climb, and today we are supposed to reach the summit.
There's a glacier that we need to get up before the sun gets too high. Apparently, the idea is that we are going to climb through this section while it's still really cold in the morning. Then, as the sun rises the ice and snow is going to heat up and there will probably be a small avalanche. Then, we're going to come back down this section again later. For the plan to work, you need to not be there when the avalanche happens.
But, one of the guys that I'm roped to is having problems, major problems. He…
Haunted Tunnels Under an Insane Asylum
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Friday, October 04, 2019
In Traverse City, Michigan there is an old insane asylum called the Grand Traverse Commons. Under the Commons there are old tunnels that some people say are haunted. A friend of mine saw the pictures of me in these tunnels and asked if I could write something about them, because he runs a publishing firm in Russia called Horroscope Press, and he's launching a magazine in the near future. I've been trying to think of what exactly to write, and now I've decided.
I've been thinking about writing a poem about this for a few weeks. I think it's a cool idea. But, it's going to be translated into Russian, and sometimes poetry doesn't work great for that. Although, my favorite poet is Ovid, and he wrote in Latin.
Today I sat down with some earplugs in to shut out the world and wrote six stanzas. I like them. I'm going to use that, embedded in a little prose opener, followed by a little explanation. I think it will make a good piece for a magazine. Let's see…
The Most Immersive Dream I've Ever Had
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Wednesday, October 02, 2019
I don't usually write down my dreams. And, I don't often remember them. As I'm waking up they fade away. It's amazing how they can be so vivid one moment, and then a few moments later I'm left wondering what I was thinking about, and I don't know. But sometimes, sometimes I remember them a little longer, and sometimes I feel compelled to write down a few notes on them. A week or two ago I had the most vivid dream I've ever had. Even now the memory of it seems like an actual trip that I went on. I took a few notes.
Here is what I wrote down.
earl, two kingdoms separated by river and culture, new flying machine, under water almost died, almost enslaved, almost forgotten or not recognized, son took place, made it back, everything made of wood, read part of a book
Basically, I was an earl in one kingdom. It was a city (it kind of seems like I should use is) on one side of a river. There was another city almost just like it on the oth…
My Interview for "Darker" Magazine
"Darker" is a leading horror magazine in Russia. The "Horror Without Borders" anthology that I've been working on with Oleg is out. In English it's available as an ebook. Since the anthology is out "Darker" asked for an interview.
It's an odd interview that works well. Since I don't know Russian it makes sense to do it this way. They sent Oleg a series of questions that he passed on to me. I read them, let them percolate in the back of my mind for a few weeks, and then wrote these answers and sent the document back to Oleg. He might even be the one translating it.
Interview for DARKER Magazine – with Jeffrey Alexander Martin of JeffThinks.com
1 - During the work on stories from around the globe, have you had a chance to push the borders of horror, for yourself? Have you come across such exotic views on the genre that struck you? If so, could you give an example?
Stories are how we make sense of the world. Horror stories deal …
I Went to a Writing Group Today - September 25th, 2019
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Wednesday, September 25, 2019
The librarian that normally runs the group was away today. She had a meeting of librarians to attend. A secret meeting. I know the meeting was secret because the room they used was directly next to the room that we write in, and they kept the door shut. Naturally, the conversation turned to what devious things they could be doing behind closed doors. Cooking the books was suggested. That wasn't the official prompt though. The official prompt was - getting away with it.
Cooking the books is an idiom that means forging and faking financial documents and records. But the image that the phrase brings to mind is a literal one for me. Here's how my story went.
Little Timmy was trying to pay attention to the teacher, but he couldn't. All he could think about was the workbook. Three-hundred and seven pages. Three-hundred and seven pages of questions, of fill-in-the-blanks, of short answer, short essay, long essay, multiple-choice, true or false, matching, and other f…
Leading a Writing Group - Session 9
I had two new students, so the total was five for this session. The first thing we covered was the metaphorical concept of morality and colors. White characters are the good heroes. Black characters are the bad villains. And grey characters, well, those get interesting. What if someone does a bad thing for a good reason? Or a good thing for a bad reason? It was an interesting introductory discussion. The famous fantasy writer George R. R. Martin is known for flipping these symbolic colors in a literal interpretation, i.e. he has the good guys wear black and the bad guys wear white, and everyone's really a grey character. After discussing that concept, I gave the prompt for the day - genie.
One of the new students was a bit reluctant and inquired into whether the subject was quite limited. He wanted to know the specific parameters. He was relieved to learn that there aren't any. Just try to make an interesting narrative. That's it. If you can use the prompt, then that's…
Hitler is a Tool
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Saturday, September 21, 2019
Most people think Hitler was evil. And, I agree. But, I find that a lot of the people that say Hitler was evil support the same ideas that Hitler supported. So, I'm proposing this heuristic: If Hitler was for it, maybe it's evil and we should be against it. Let's explore some of what Hitler was for and against.
Hitler was for judging people based on race rather than as individuals. This is directly opposed to the notion that Martin Luther King Jr. made famous that people "will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." Racism changes terms based on the time and place, but this underlying essence is always the same: the race matters, the group matters, not the individual. In the US the more recent racist terms are "affirmative action" and "diversity and inclusion."
Hitler was for centralized government and authoritarian rule as opposed to a distribution of power with checks and balances. That's the def…
Why Dave Chappelle is a Hero
Dave Chappelle came out with a new Netflix comedy special called "Sticks and Stones". Ironically, it hurt some people's feelings. I think the humor is decent, but that's not the most important thing about this. More than the humor, it's the heroic nature of Chappelle's endeavor.
Comedians aren't normally associated with heroism. But, let's look at what heroism is. If I search it online I find this definition: a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.
I think that's pretty good, but I think I can get to a deeper and better definition. A hero is a person that makes sacrifices to fight evil. In other words, a hero has to be both strong and good. That is the essence.
What is the evil that Dave Chappelle is fighting? It's the politically correct culture that enjoys the tyranny of the mob and seeks to destroy individuals. He mentions that it has become "celebrity hunting season" and tha…
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Tuesday, September 17, 2019
A picture and an assignment concerning gnomes. That was our prompt for the day.
The picture had two similar looking gnomes. One had a green hat. The other had a blue hat and sunglasses, and was giving the peace sign. The prompt read:
Good writers bring their story characters to life. Choose one of these gnomes and give a detailed character description. Include physical characteristics as well as character traits, and likes and dislikes. Use your senses and vivid adjectives to bring the character to life.
One of the most important things in writing, as in any art, is to know you can break the rules. They're more like guidelines. In the picture of the gnomes there is another gnome slightly visible in the background of the picture. I took this to be the mother of the two gnomes. You'll see how that works out in my short glimpse of a story.
I recently read "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave", and it's a great b…
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Monday, September 16, 2019
I had four cards, each with a single word: King, Queen, Prince, Princess. Each of the kids drew their card, and then I was left with... Princess. I didn't particularly want to write a princess story at that moment, so I made her a bit unique. But, before we did the writing we covered an important writing subject.
When writing there are two basic sets of tools that you can choose from. You can use narrative devices like flashbacks, foreshadowing, and framing. These are tools that help you to structure your story. You can also use rhetorical devices like rhyming, alliteration, and assonance. These are tools that help you to structure your sentences and paragraphs. The best writers are good at using both narrative devices and rhetorical devices.
Bella drew the Queen card. She wrote a story about a princess that was shortly going to become queen because the queen was passing her position and power on to her daughter. But, the princess's aunt wanted power and was seeking to make bo…
I Went to a Writing Group Today - August 28th, 2019
By Jeffrey Alexander Martin Thursday, September 05, 2019
The prompt today was to create a poem based on the idea "Where I'm From".
I did two poems. The first one is light, the second one is a bit darker.
Stranger in a known land
estranged from my clan
apart from my tribal band.
Surrounded by the unknown
cement, glass, steel, and stone
longing for home.
Sun through the tree leaves
the smell of bark.
Home in a forest.
Easy to find if you're looking
but difficult to see.
that's where we'll be
cooking nothing nutritious.
Come visit the fudge game
Kenny the Elf's my name
the art of delicious
that's where I'm from.
I didn't use punctuation at the end of the lines because I was reading these out loud at the meeting so it didn't matter at the time, and I just left them.
to the land of the lost
in darkness
by their host
evaporated into mist
disintegrated into dust
reduced to nothing
A crazy conversation. That was our prompt for the day. I went over the idea of dialogue attribution, or dialogue tags. That's where you make sure the reader knows who is saying what.
Lexi took us on a tour of a garden full of personified flowers. The different types of flowers had different personality characteristics. It reminded me a little of Lewis Carroll.
Xavier became trapped in the confines of his own mind and stalled out. We had a talk about it afterward.
Bella wrote about a student trying to convince his master, Master Fufu, to go to war. But the master didn't want to.
And, here's what I did.
"Just jump, dude! Come on!"
The cliff wasn't that high, but the space at the bottom was narrow. Maybe too narrow. Jack was understandably hesitant. "I think you should go first, and then I'll go," he said to Jill.
Jill gave him a look. A look that said she didn't believe him, that she wouldn't take no for an an…
Poetry Bubbles Up From Within
Some people claim that they can generate poetry when they want. It doesn't work that way for me. Poems just spring into my mind from I know not where. And, if I don't write them down then they float away just as fast, like waking from a dream that has been carried to you on the wind, and just as quickly goes forth into new lands.
A little poem struck me while I happened to be near one of my notebooks last week.
Time is a mold,
into which we pour,
our heart and soul.
To fill up space,
with our lethal loves,
or suffer disgrace.
I had recently seen "Antony and Cleopatra" by Shakespeare in the Rose Theatre at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Maybe that's why another one hit me.
'Tis possible to lead,
even in a life of strife.
To plant the seed,
even when we bleed,
nay because.
To take a zero,
and not by multiply,
or regenerate,
but to create,
life;
which grows,
therein are born,
heroes.
I had a meeting to get to ab…
A Moment on the Lips with Lord Byron
It was recently pointed out to me by a friend that there is a chocolate bar that has a poem inside of the wrapper. The poem that I took notice of was "To M" by Lord Byron. I decided to extend it just a bit.
First, this is from Lord Byron.
Oh! did those eyes, instead of fire,
With bright, but mild affection shine:
Though they might kindle less desire,
Love, more than mortal, would be thine.
For thou art form'd so heavenly fair,
Howe'er those orbs may wildly beam,
We must admire, but still despair;
That fatal glance forbids esteem.
When Nature stamp'd thy beauteous birth,
So much perfection in thee shone,
She fear'd that, too divine for earth,
The skies might claim thee for their own.
Therefore, to guard her dearest work,
Lest angels might dispute the prize,
She bade a secret lightning lurk,
Within those once celestial eyes.
These might the boldest Sylph appall,
When gleaming with meridian blaze;
Thy beauty must enrapture all;
But who can dare thi…

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations for various books, articles, and other sources on a topic. The annotated bibliography looks like a Works Cited page but includes an annotation after each source cited. An annotation is a short summary andor critical evaluation of a source. This handout will explain why annotated bibliographies are useful for researchers, provide an explanation of what constitutes an annotation, describe various types of annotations and styles for writing them, and offer multiple examples of annotated bibliographies in the MLA, APA, and CBECSE styles of citation.
Annotated bibliographies differ from the traditional bibliographies in the sense that while a bibliography is a simple compilation of the sources used while researching a topic, an annotated bibliography conducts an academic evaluation of the respective sources cited in a thesis. The annotated bibliography looks like a Works Cited page but includes an annotation after each source cited.
An annotation is a short summary andor critical evaluation of a source. Annotated bibliographies can be part of a larger research project, or can be a standalone report in itself. This means that we are guaranteeing that the examples of MLA annotated bibliography that you find in our site are correct and can be used as a guide when writing an MLA bibliography for your dissertation or thesis.
MLA annotated bibliography, as well as Chicago Manual Style Annotation, should provide bibliographic citation in such an order: surname and name of the author, title of the book, name of the publishing house and the year of publishing.
An annotated bibliography Mla annotated bibliography thesis a list of references either from websites, journals, articles or books that one uses in essay papers, assignments or projects. A short evaluative or summative paragraph follows the reference citation and is known as an annotation.

First you need to settle whether or not your bibliography is a standalone bibliography or part of a more detailed paper (thesis, dissertation, essay, etc. ). An annotated bibliography is an organized list of sources (like a reference list). It differs from a straightforward bibliography in that each reference is followed by a paragraph length annotation, usually words in length.
The Annotated Bibliography Definition A bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, magazines, websites, ect. ) one has used for researching a topic.
