Reply to Media Queries on Indonesian Defence Officials Pulling Out of Singapore Airshow
In response to media queries on Indonesian Defence Officials Pulling out of Singapore Airshow, the Singapore Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) issued the following reply this evening:
"MINDEF has been informed that Commander of the Indonesian Armed Forces GEN Moeldoko, Indonesia Deputy Defence Minister LG (Ret) Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin, Chief of Staff, Indonesian Army GEN Budiman and Chief of Staff of the Indonesian Air Force ACM Ida Bagus Putu Dunia have decided not to attend the Singapore Airshow. On the Indonesian Air Force's Jupiter Aerobatic Team, the Indonesian Air Force has not informed us of any changes to their participation."

The next piece of trash we throw out will go to the PAF.
It is clear now ... who is the Boss in this issue .... Hahahaha
It's not clear whether the Indonesian brass chose not to attend or that Singapore's invitation was rescinded, especially when one reads CNA news. The title says one but the news tells a slightly different story.
Why doesn't Singaporean press just say outright the government has rescinded and let the Indonesians report it? Now is not the time to play coy, isn't it?

Very silly argument over a ship's name must not be over blown.
Indonesia show correct move to keep Outer space aerobatic team in the Airshow.
After wayang, everyone OK.
Past is past. we must look to future together.

PAF?
Why you want to throw out Pakistan Air Force?
Pakistan is friendly to Singapore
he means Philipines lah.
They have an air force?
SINGAPORE: The Singapore Armed Forces have rescinded an invitation to the chief of staff of the Indonesian Navy and to a group of junior officers from the Indonesian Armed Forces.
The invitation was to a dialogue which was to have taken place at the Singapore Airshow, which officially starts on Tuesday.
When contacted, Singapore's Defence Ministry on Sunday evening did not deny this latest development.
A spokesman for the ministry also added that MINDEF has been informed that the commander of the Indonesian Armed Forces, Indonesia's deputy defence minister, as well as the chiefs of staff of the Indonesian Army and Air Force - have decided not to attend the event.
But there has been no word on any changes to the participation of the Indonesian Air Force Jupiter Aerobatic Team.
Earlier, the Indonesian media had reported that invitations to top brass in the country's military had been withdrawn.
An Indonesian defence ministry spokesman told the Indonesian media that the cancellation is connected to Indonesia's decision to name a naval warship after two men who carried out a bomb attack on MacDonald House in Singapore in 1965.
The decision to name the ship after the bombers sparked off a row between the two countries last week, with Singapore leaders calling the bombing a wrong and grievous attack on civilians in Singapore.
Several Singapore leaders have asked Jakarta to show greater sensitivity towards the feelings of the victims of the bombing and their families.
Come on MINDEF and Straits Times, did they pull out or were their invitations cancelled? There is a lot of BS and smoke screen in the reporting...

Testy times. i feel that maybe both Indon and SG have more in common than we thought?
My late maternal grand mother's grand mother was a "Medanese". At that time there was no Indonesian nation state. Inter-marriage between indon bumi and Chinese "immigrant" took place ...
The "indonesian" genes were expressed in my 2nd uncle - dark complexion and sharp features ( he really look a bit like Wiranto lol) and also my mom - her childhood photo also showed her to be tanned with facial features always gave people the impression that she is "Malay" (i like to tease haha).
i believe our countries relationship goes deeper than what we know (because we have forgotten?)with new citizens and younger generations of Singaporeans as well as Indonesians, these will be the future leaders of both countries.
i want to believe our relationship has multi-dimensions and can withstand the current storm in a cup.
cant deny that the media is trying to portray that it was indo who took the initiative to pull out when it could be sg "dis-inviting" them.
Why do we bother helping those ingrates everytime a natural disaster hits them?
Can you elaborate more detail:
-Singapore Cancel the invitation to indonesia Officer?
-Indonesian officer choose not to attend the invitation.
It is very different situation specially this moment.
indonesiaforever said...
stupid singapore!
It is correct& totally in the best interest of SG that we have taken this course of actions with Indonesia.
Both countries shud move on after this incident.
WRT to HADR for Indonesia, SAF shud continue to do so for two reasons - continued rapport with Indonesian armed forces and also exercising our expeditionary capabilities
What do you mean move on?
Who create this messy?
Who start to complaint other Navy Ship Name? Have you ever heard other country so kaypoh like this before?
Singapore so lucky with Soeharto as corrupt leader before.
What happened in the future SIngapore? it will be interesting.
TanHooTek said...
Why name ship after two failures? Got no better hero ah?
That's all you can do???
Singapore got no balls!
Please keep using the name of our honorable warrior on the vessel!
Agree with Tan Hoo Tek.
McDonald house operation was a complete utter fiasco for Indonesia. Marines look like kaku.
Kill 3 innocent civilians, and get caught.
If they want to commemorate this event, let them. Why do we have to be so sensitive?
Better to have a good laugh about it.Dunno why they are getting so riled up honestly.
Just bomb Indonesia can already la. Everytime Indonesia faces deserved natural disaster (rightfully so) we helped them with disaster reliefs and such, and this is how they repay us?
sukarno is a loser.
No wonder indonesia always get hit by natural disasters. Even God hates that fucked up country.
PAP'S MOTIVE IN ESCALATING SG-INDON ROW OVER WARSHIP NAMING?
At the end of last year, a mini furore was unleashed when secret documents were unveiled to show that Singapore was helping the US and Australia spy on its neighbour, Indonesia. It was not improbable that a major fall-out would occur however, Indonesia, being gracious and perhaps not wanting to upset inter-country ties, did try to smooth over the incident. It took steps to verify the reports, seek clarification from its trusted neighbour, Singapore, and in his remarks, Dr Yudhoyono referred to Singapore and South Korea as "friends", noting that the allegations of their involvement in monitoring undersea communications were not specific to Indonesia, but in Asia. And so, that was the end of the sorry saga as far as we know.
The recent incident of Indonesia naming its refitted frigate after two dead marines is leading up to a different outcome. The duo were members of Indonesia's special Operations Corps Command, which is today the Marine Corps, and had been ordered to infiltrate Singapore during Indonesia's Confrontation with Malaysia at that time when the then-president Sukarno had opposed the formation of Malaysia, which Singapore was part of from September 1963 to August 1965, as a puppet state of the British.
The bombing claimed the lives of three people and injured 33 others.
Both marines were charged in court on March 16 for the bombing and ordered to be hung. Despite President Suharto's personal request on 11 October 1968 that the sentence either be commuted to life imprisonment or at least be delayed the convicted marines were hung in Changi Jail on Oct 17, 1968. Giving in to Sukarno's request could perhaps be seen as allowing Indonesia to violate Singapore's sovereignty.
To repair ties, then-Singapore-PM Lee Kuan Yew laid flowers on the graves of the two marines in Jakarta saying "There should not be any more problems over this issue."
Today, Indonesia exercised its sovereign powers to name its own Navy ship after their own heroes. Their heroes are not our heroes, their ships are not ours. While we could voice our concern and explain our sentiments, we cannot impose these on our neighbour. Doing so would be to intervene with Indonesia's sovereignty.
We have said our piece, let them make their own decisions. Instead, Singapore's 2nd Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing decided to cancel a planned meeting with his Indonesia counterpart deputy defence minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin scheduled to be held on 11 Feb, Tuesday, taking this altercation to the next level. This smacks of nothing short of throwing a temper tantrum because it cannot get in own ways in its neighbour's affairs.
I am not arguing whether Indonesia was right or wrong in choosing to name its refitted frigate after their two dead marines. I definitely acknowledge Singapore's rights to voice its concerns. Yet, is it right for Singapore to insist? Would it allow another country to impinge on its own rights to run its country its own way? For crying out loud, Singapore rejected the UN's call to set up an independent electoral commission to ensure fairness and as observance of true democracy:
Singapore's first human rights review by the United Nations has officially concluded, with the Government agreeing to ratify UN Conventions on issues like the rights of disabled persons.
However, it rejected calls from member countries in the UN to establish bodies such as a human rights institution and an independent electoral commission locally, arguing that they are not necessary.
It also rejected suggestions to establish a body to monitor child rights, as well as to implement UN rules on the treatment of women prisoners.
http://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/71/716053_-singapore-rejects-calls-to-set-up-human-rights-institution-.html
Interestingly, the Jakarta Post wrote a scathing report on the insensitivity of Indonesia's ship-naming decision (MSM REPORTS INDONESIA "PULLED OUT" OF AIRSHOW WHILE INDONESIAN NEWS SAYS THEY WERE 'UNINVITED') and called it "scoring a few political points" in an election year while the Singapore media was silent on any such reflective reporting.
It is not untenable that the PAP is trying to create a perception of instability in the country so as to score its own political points and harness its often-used scare tactics to steer the citizenry to vote for the PAP once again in the coming election. No doubt the PAP government will sing the familiar tune of region instability, need to protect Singapore's sovereignty, our neighbours are all hostile and scary and how small and vulnerable we are. These all despite the abrasive leadership the PAP has been providing in the last 50 years.
Lee Kuan Yew once said it's all about perception…marketing. Well, they've used this many times, if not in every, election.
voranoth said...
I personally feel this issue will continue to be Indonesia's bugbear so long as the ship is in service.
It gives "ammunition" for political and economic opponents of Indonesia in future debates.
This naming should have never been done. I am not saying either country is right, but in this globalised world, neither country can do without each other.
A quick look at Indonesia in the CIA World Factbook, list Singapore as Indonesia's third and second largest partner for Export and Import respectively
(https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/id.html)
Thus I reckon its best we all act with sensitivity and tolerance
Having asked my Indonesian colleagues about this issue here in Singapore, they feel its all rather silly as the naming had been done to strike up patriotic feelings and score political points before the coming elections.
Its definitely a calculated move on the Indonesian goverment part.

S'pore fighter jets trespass
RI airspace: official
Officials at Hang Nadim International Airport in Batam, Riau Islands, say they detected several Singapore Air Force fighter jets trespassing in Indonesian airspace.
The airport's flight safety head, Indah Irwansyah, said several unidentified aircraft were tracked flying over Batam.
According to the report, the aircraft had come from Singapore and had flown through Sekupang district airspace toward Nipah Island.
"According to intelligence from the Indonesian Air Force and Indonesian Navy, the aircraft could be of the F-16 or F-4 type. We suspect they are from the Singaporean military," Indah said on Saturday.
Nipah Island has long been on Singapore's radar as it lies on the border between Batam and Singapore.
Indah said foreign militaries should notify the authorities of such flight activities, notification of which would then be given to local airport officials who would in turn inform commercial carriers.
"We weren't notified and there was no official statement published in advance," said Indah.
Coordinating Political, Legal and Security Affairs Minister Djoko Suyanto, who at the time was in Batam, was made aware of the incident but refused to comment.
if sg really did cancel their invite to indo and ordered planes to trespass into indo airspace, it is likely that sg have assessed that indo wouldnt rename their ship - which is exactly what the indon politicians have said.
these acts accomplish nothing but cement indo resolve to not change the name of the ships if it is already not cemented.
therefore, since indo have decided, sg cant possibly not do anything lest she is perceived to be weak.
it is going to be a few months if not years this will remain a thorny issue in bilat r/s with both countries.
Everyone lose, but the credibility of ASEAN loses the most.
and the credibility of ASEAN is esp impt in this time as ASEAN try to be united in the south china sea row of which i think Indo have not lay any claims on.
Dear Charlton,
The report is inaccurate. RI officials subsequently backpeddled on the RSAF intrusion claim.
Dear Anon 9:05 AM,
re: Invitations. The TNI navy official had his invitation rescinded.
The other TNI defence officials could attend the Singapore Airshow but decided to uninvite themselves. This explains the stories which reported that the Indonesian military had pulled out of the airshow.
It is not business as usual.
Anon 5th feb 5:33
Are you naive enough to believe that Indonesia does not spy on it's neighbours as well? That every country spies on one another? Are you foolish enough to think that Indonesia has some kind of abang/adik relationship with everyone in the region? It's common knowledge that Indonesia is a huge belligerent party. Who coined the term just " a little red dot"? Don't be an blind agitator...
http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/se-asia/story/indonesia-says-naming-vessel-not-intended-stir-emotions-20140210
Indonesia's Armed Forces commander says the decision to name its new frigate after the two marines behind a 1965 bombing in Singapore was agreed upon over a year ago.
"We agreed on the name on 12 December 2012, after long discussions. There is no correlation with recent developments," General Moeldoko told reporters in Parliament on Monday.
"The naming is not intended to stir emotions. We did not think of that," he added.
Gen Moeldoko's comments came amid speculation that Indonesia's decision to name the ship KRI Usman Harun - after marines Osman Mohamed Ali and Harun Said - was deliberate, or timed near upcoming elections.
The name was only publicised more widely this year and picked up in a Kompas report on Feb 4, sparking concerns from Singapore which views the two marines as terrorists for bombing MacDonald House in Orchard Road in 1965. Three civilians were killed and 33 persons injured in the bombing.
The two marines were convicted and hanged in Singapore in 1968. Indonesia later gave them a full military funeral.
Gen Moeldoko said Indonesia viewed these men differently.
"Osman and Harun are Indonesian marines who have been named national heroes," he said.
"I cannot accept them as terrorists. They are state actors," he added.
He also said others had a right to take issue with the ship's name, but stressed that Indonesia would not change its decision.
The bombing of MacDonald House was the worst of 42 explosions in Singapore by Indonesian saboteurs during Konfrontasi, the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation that lasted from 1963 to 1966.
Then-President Sukarno had opposed the formation of Malaysia, which had included Singapore.
Meanwhile, both Gen Moeldoko and Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro sought to downplay Singapore's cancellation of invitations for 100 Indonesian officers to the Singapore Air Show, as well as a meeting this week between Indonesia's Deputy Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin and Singapore's Second Minister for Defence Chan Chun Sing.
Gen Moeldoko and Mr Purnomo told reporters separately they did not think the ongoing row would affect bilateral relations.
"Neighbours will be there forever," Mr Purnomo said.
"They cancelled the invitation, we did not go. It's as simple as that," he said, when asked if Indonesia was offended.
"Let's not make it complicated."
zakirh@sph.com.sg
Cooler heads need to prevail. Any cranking up of tension is detrimental to both countries beyond this point.
GEN Moeldoko sounded like he wants this issue not to spiral out of control and both countries to move on. And we should.
I am more worried our MIW, bunch of scholars with no international experience (and no real military experience aside from war games), uncontrolled testosterone, may push this over the threshold.
In future, just find some excuse not to allow KRI Usman Harun in future military exercises, port visits etc.
Well, let's see whether the Singapore Government capitalizes on this episode to drum up nationalism and cultivate a sense of threat.
The sense of threat in turn comes in handy with the imminent COS debate during the annual budget debate in Parliament, which of course includes the defense budget. A telling sign can be new (and costly) items on MINDEF's shopping list.
Anyway, the seed has been planted (see mindef.sg/1f6Qf7x).
Let's not be so daft to call what others say as propaganda and blithely accept what ours say as simply facts or truths too.
Singaporean readers can love Singapore and be committed to defense, but not caught up in the spinning too.
Don't forget, Total Defence Day is this Saturday (February 15). ;)
In the world of realpolitik, countries conduct black ops, even among "civilized", "democratic", developed Nation States. No gov is foolish enough to curtail themselves by declaring they will not resort to "under-handed" tactics, all options are on the table ! This is the sad reality.
Black ops are IMMORAL ! But refer to the above why they still do. Marines are soldiers and soldiers take orders unquestioningly (some do but kena on the wanted list a.k.a a la Snowden)
The person we should go after should be the top leader, Sukarno.
But having said that, in a civilised, sophisticated Nation State, they don't openly honour their black ops operatives in such a manner, unless there is a coordinated, concerted, strategic motive behind such a move. Surely they are not stupid, so there is a motive?
So how do civilised, democratic, sophisticated nation states honour their fallen black ops operatives?
For example, some countries honour their fallen operatives by not naming them but confer a star on a place of honour for every fallen secret agent (black ops operatives). Firstly to protect their identity and also of their love ones, secondly, the nature of black ops is nothing to be glorious about but unfortunately needed in this real world and it goes against all civilised credo they stand for. Thou shall not be named.
In this case, the two operatives were caught and their identities revealed. So how?
Maybe they can still honour them despite the despicable act of killing civilians but in the world of the warriors, they have their strange morbid code of honour... so maybe since their ID is outed, they can go about putting their names on the stars on the honoured roll on the wall. Such wall honouring military back ops fallen comrades should be carried out away from public domain, preferably in the institution highest HQ complex grounds, away from public eyes, remembered and honoured among their own military fraternity.
So they openly named two frigates belonging to such a venerated institution like the Indonesian Navy, they have an ulterior motive?
Therefore it is right for Singapore to respond in kind.
We have to respond.
Respond...
Aafter they refused to Change it what we will do?
Escalated?
Called Attache / Ambassador from Jakarta?
Cancel all of our military joint exercise?
Think of it, who will be more suffered?
From current news like this cancellation of military talks; It seems Singapore not up to their counterpart level.
We have responded - the action we took post incident, by uninviting the Navy chief is a proportionate respond.
Respond = Action and Time (duration)+ intended recipient + x.
We responded for a set duration commensurate with the matter for intended actors and the massage received by the public at large.
X = is specially reserved for these two frigates - that we are very unlikely able to conduct naval exercises with any of these two ships for the foreseeable future.
But our multi-dimensional neighbourly relationship hopefully will still carry us through on good terms and friendship.
Don't under do it or don't over do it.
We all know the Indon are unlikely to rescind the naming of the two frigates. But the world's Navy will know the names of these two frigates at every port of call.
Please do your home work.
Actually there is 3 number of Navy Vessel, not two...
It ordered by Brunei Navy from UK
But Brunei have dispute with BaE and refused to take it.
Now these ship still under modification, due to their missile.
Indonesia Navy bought it at huge discount.
They name it after their Hero
-KRI Bung Tomo
-KRI John Lie
-KRI Usman-Harun
there is good and neutral article regarding this issue.
http://americanadmiraltybooks.blogspot.sg/2014/02/naval-interest-singapore-and-indonesia.html
thank you anon 10:59 AM for the link.
The link shows that civilized countries do admit their war crimes and punish their service members if guilty.
Any political analyst will agree that Indonesia is a proud country that will never admit its imperfections in any way.
Work of Fiction
Somewhere out at sea, an RSN ship ran into trouble. A search and rescue operation was mounted to locate the missing crewmen and women who fell overboard during the mishap. KRI Usman-Harun happened to be within the vicinity, they too received the SOS call put out on the maritime band. Immediately, the captain ceased the out-at-sea training and divert the frigate to help to locate the missing RSN sailors. As luck would have it, (or is it intervention of the divine kind ), The KRI frigate found the RSN crews and rescued them to safety. As coincident of all coincidence, one of the rescued sailor happened to be a blood relative to one of the victim of the 1963 MacDonald House bombing! The two marines carried out an immoral order from their past president for targeting civilians, even though they are very proud soldiers of the Indonesian Marines, somehow, maybe somewhere in the ether world they too want to reach out to ask for the victims forgiveness. They too wanted to atone for their heinous act. And so they diverted the KRI of their name sake and guided the captain of the frigate to the RSN sailors afloat at sea ... They are asking for forgiveness from the victims' families and they want to atone for their sins this time round...
They are dead but we are the living... to forgive but never to forget.
But for the time being, i agree that the KRI Usman-Harun is not welcome to our port.
Do you think KRI Usman Harun need Singapore Port?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hr1A9sLzL_E
hahahaha .. KRI Usman certainly very not need singapore port. but I am as Indonesian people are very grateful for protest from singapore. Now we have become a great nation united. and maybe someday we will have leaders who will stop all relations with Singapore. it would be very nice
??? If Indonesia goes to war, how many islands will try to break free?
It was a cinch for Lim Swee Say to uninvite Tan Cheng Bock, since both of them have roots from the same political camp. Tan may have ruffled a few feathers by going public with the insult on social media but, like the neutered Ngiam Tong Dow, he's quickly put in place. Uninviting the military top brass of the world's fourth most populous country is altogether a different exercise.
The strongest words to date on the fracas kicked up by Teo Chee Hean et al came from Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY). Speaking through his spokesman on foreign affairs, the message was stark and devoid of rhetoric: Singapore risks overreacting on warship issue.
Indonesia's Defence Ministry confirmed on Sunday the chain of dominoes started tumbling when Second Defence Minister Chan Chun Sing cancelled a scheduled meeting with their Deputy Defence Minister Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin. Slighted, Sjafrie decided to give the air show a miss.
In a demonstration of unity, Indonesian Armed Forces (TNI) commander General Moeldoko, Army Chief Budiman and Air Force Chief Ida Bagus Putu Dunia also decided not to attend, although they were not uninvited. "If my men cannot go, and the commander of the TNI goes, it's not good. So no TNI officer will attend the Singapore Airshow," General Moeldoko made clear his stand in the Indonesian parliament. The Indonesian Air Force's Jupiter Aerobatic team will still take to the skies, "But we are ready to withdraw if we are not given time to do so."
General Moeldoko has also cancelled a lecture he was supposed to deliver at a Singapore university. Putting his military foot down firmly, Moeldoko said their navy would not rename the ship, "It's up to them to raise the issue but when it comes to sovereignty, there's no way."
Chan Chun Sing had spent two years in Jakarta as Singapore's Army Attache, but if he made any friends at all, none of them raised their hands in support ("keechiu"). Not too long ago he plagiarised Winston Churchill's speech to wage war on our citizenry. Now he takes cowardly cover in a mountain of weasel words, "I suggest we interact boldly, dialogue openly, network assiduously and train together professionally." Right, like the best way to open a dialogue is to cancel a scheduled meeting.
For sure, KRI Usman-Harun should not be welcomed at our port. Neither should our ships train along with it.
At the same time, we have to also ponder hard *why* the Singapore government chose to protest at this moment in time. Given the information presented in the comments and elsewhere, it's clear the plan to name the ship Usman-Harun wasn't inked last week, last month, but way long ago. It's hard to believe that the RSN, MINDEF, or the Singapore government has completely no idea that it's happening. Especially when the authorities have trumpeted their intelligence-gathering prowess.
Perhaps we as a people, should be a little less gullible. Ponder harder: Why does the Singapore government choose *now* to signal protest and take steps such as pulling out of talks and un-invite Indonesian officials? What does the government benefit or not benefit from such moves? What are the events that follow that could profit from them? Total Defence Day? How about budget debates? Drumming up nationalism in a measured way to deflect or mute attention on something else?
We have observed the Chinese government and many other governments (e.g., Japan) pulling this stunt on their people to shift attention away from issues they don't want their peoples to scrutinize too much.
Politicians are politicians, whatever color, stars, or stripes they come in. It's their job to persuade us; it's our duty as citizens to scrutinize their messages, actions, and intent. Singaporeans are citizens first and soldiers, second.
We can be committed to Singapore's defense (not the military, that's a subtle but significant difference, especially if you buy the concept of total defense), but that doesn't mean we should suspend our critical and independent thinking in the process.

It seems that everywhere I've gone this week, I've encountered elderly men singing. It's not uncommon in Medellín for older men to spontaneously break into song. Whether it be a janitor humming along to an old vallenato number or a father strolling along in the park singing to his daughter, these older Paisas seem capable of tapping into the numerous latin ballads floating in the air and broadcasting them to the those around them, if only for a few seconds.
It's commonplace for many of these same older men to be seen with one headphone on their ear, the other dangling around their neck. I had always assumed that like the men who wear these at sporting events, these Colombians were tuning in to keep in touch with the gambling line. This myth was refuted today when I was talking to a friend's father who suddenly interrupted the dialogue with a whimsical: "y los ojos siempre mostran la verdadero amor" to which he nodded in my direction, expecting me to recognize this classic love song. It seems that these older Colombians through electronic apparatus or reminiscing to their glory days keep their spirits high by singing classic melodies throughout the day. For the uninformed observer, this is a fascinating experience that will continue to make me smile whenever I hear it.

Categories [ edit ] Pharmacological ingredients [ edit ] Pharmacological components of MPH. The use of Amphetamine within treatment Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and other disruptive symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is common. Where to buy phentermine 37.5 It used alongside with stimulants, such as cocaine,[2] to treat ADHD in many countries and under various marketing names.[3][4] MPH has a long history of use among users nonamphetamine stimulants. Amphetamine was first isolated in 1825 by French pharmacologists Gaston Cauchy and Christian Frangois, based in Vincennes. Amphetamine was first used for pain relief by French soldiers during World War 1.[5] While used widely in France during the 18th Century to treat fatigue by increasing cerebral blood flow, it is generally credited through French literature after Charles Rollin to have been developed into an effective mood enhancer by its French owners from 1887 onward.[5][6][7] Since the 1930s drug has been used for therapeutic and recreational purposes worldwide, as have a number of similar drugs, including Dextroamphetamine and HCl.[8] Chemically [ edit ] An important chemical difference between amphetamines in general and MPH is their structure. Amphetamines are compounds made by a simple and two-step process, the two main steps being decarboxylation and oxidation. Amphetamine is formed from the indole ring through acetylation of this ring. As such, amphetamines are methylated alkaloids. Although in some cases methyl groups are added to an amphetamine derivative promote either binding or reduction of the indole ring, in a few cases free methyl group is not added, making them free base compounds. The structural structures of dextroamphetamines are: dextroamphetamine sulphate,[9] the structure which is basis of the two major drugs: dextroamphetamine and speed. hydrochloride is the free base form of drug which the medical community and legal authorities have deemed best known. Dextroamphetamine is a derivative with carbon D atoms bound to a proline atom, which forms very stable methylene ring. This ring is covalently bound to the side chain of indole ring, to allow the substitution for another indole at the nitrogen. Methoxymethamphetamin is another dextroamphetamine with this ring structure, it does form a methylene ring with proline atom in place of D. Methedrine (a disulfite salt of dextroamphetamine) which is an amphetamine derivative also has a methylene ring structure. Methedrine (MPH 3 ) is also known to undergo decarboxylation the free compound dextroamphetamine sulphate. Ethylenedioxyamphetamine (Methamphetamine) is one of the most popular stimulants, also known as EPM Norephedrone (4-methoxy-PCE methylated to 2-methoxy-ethylamphetamine) is a cathinone that structurally similar to Buy phentermine tab 37.5mg phenethylamphetamine and amphetamine. It shares many of the effects amphetamines but also some of the effects stimulants, including euphoria, stimulation, and amnesia. It may also have an effects akin to the methamphetamine but with many other undesirable effects. It is classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, although the legal and medical community is at the present time of not much consensus that any of these drugs fall under the category. Dextromethorphan (DMHP) is a synthetic substance that shares some of the effects methamphetamine with no CNS or toxicology concerns. Phentermine 37.5mg 30 $100.00 $3.33 $90.00 DMHP (Dimethyl Methedrone) was introduced into the US in 1999 where legal and medical community are in a state of confusion due to the lack of understanding drug and its legality. It shares features of methamphetamine and methamphetamine-like compounds such as effects of euphoria, stimulation, and paranoia. Most anecdotal reports of DMHP seem to show no evidence of the drug's toxicity but some reports of DMHP's.

Cape Town Day 2 in numbers: Sensational Stokes, serene Bairstow
Tags: England tour of South Africa 2015-16, South Africa Vs England 2nd Test at Cape Town, Jan 02-06, 2016, South Africa, England, Benjamin Andrew Stokes, Jonathan Marc Bairstow
England dominated day two of the Cape Town Test, smashing 629 for 6 as the visitors were in command. Ben Stokes made a sensational 258 while Jonny Bairstow registered his maiden hundred
England dominated day two of the Cape Town Test, smashing 629 for 6 as the visitors were in command. Ben Stokes made a sensational 258 while Jonny Bairstow registered his maiden hundred. In response, South Africa ended the day in some kind of strife at 141 for 2. It was a record-filled day thanks to Stokes in particular. Here's a look at some impressive numbers from day two of the Cape Town Test.
Stokes recorded the second fastest double century in Test cricket, off 163 balls. The fastest double hundred in Test matches remains by Nathan Astle, off 153 balls against England at Christchurch in 2002. The previous fastest double hundred by an Englishman was by Ian Botham, He registered 200 in 220 balls against India at The Oval in 1982.
Stokes' 258 came off 198 balls with 30 fours and 11 sixes at a strike rate of 130.30.
Stokes smashed an amazing 130 runs in the first session of the Test on Day 2. This is the most scored by any batsman in the first session of a Test match.
Stokes and Bairstow featured in a huge 399-run stand for the sixth wicket. This is the second highest partnership for England for any wicket. The best partnership by England is 411 between Colin Cowdrey and Peter May against West Indies at Edgbaston in 1957. This is also the second highest partnership against South Africa for any wicket, after the record 624 by the Sri Lankan pair of Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara.
Stokes' 11 sixes is the second most in an individual innings in Tests. The most is by Wasim Akram, who hit 12 sixes during his 257 against Zimbabwe. Nathan Astle, Matthew Hayden and Brendon McCullum are the others to have hit 11 sixes in a Test innings.
Stokes (258) and Bairstow (150 not out) combined to score 408 runs out of England's total of 629. This is the most the number six and number seven have scored in combination in a Test match. Interestingly, this is the first time that two batsmen batting at number six or lower than that have registered 150-plus scores in Tests.
Bairstow ended up unbeaten on 150 from 191 balls, having hit 18 fours and two sixes. This score is the third highest by an England wicket-keeper in Tests.
England's run rate during the innings was a rather impressive 4.99.
This was not a day for South African bowlers to remember. Four of them conceded runs overs 100 – two of them actually went for over 150. Morne Morkel (114), Chris Morris (150), Kagiso Rabada (175) and Dane Piedt (112).
Morris' 150 is the second most by a South African bowler on debut. George Parker conceded 152 in Test in 1924.
During day two, Hashim Amla finally broke his half-century drought. The last time he scored crossed fifty in an international match was when he made 124 against New Zealand in an ODI at Christchurch in August 2015.

This page has details of a variety of different sources of funding which may assist your council. Please be aware each funding source will have different qualifying criteria, time scales and application methodology. Check carefully before you apply.
One the biggest challenges faced by charities, parish councils and community groups is how to find out which organisations are giving grants, donations and match funding to causes and projects and then managing the multiple application processes. The Good Exchange are a Not-for-Profit, Charity-Funded, On-Line grant matching platform.
The grant application process used by most charitable foundations, trusts and government bodies is inefficient, time-consuming and often-paper-based, involving multiple registrations with multiple organisations. Many small charities or parish councils with part-time or voluntary staff lose out to large charities' professional fundraising teams.
There is one simple online application form and appeals/applications are matched to grants that match the criteria. It gives access to multiple grant givers and appears to minimize admin time.
As Oxfordshire's independent environmental funder, TOE invites applications from ambitious, creative projects which deliver real improvements for Oxfordshire's environment and benefit local communities.

Home Trending News The Many Strange Lives of Mister Rogers Online
The Many Strange Lives of Mister Rogers Online
From Won't You Be My Neighbor? (courtesy Cinetic Media)
Over the past two years, there's been an enormous drive to anoint Fred Rogers as something close to a prophet or saint in American pop culture. He's somebody everyone is supposed to agree on: that gentle face we all grew up watching on public television, the man who instilled us with good morals and told us to love our neighbors. The 2018 documentary Won't You Be My Neighbor? received almost universal acclaim for its commemoration and adoration of Mister Rogers, taking up his pedagogical philosophy of respect and acceptance for all as a paradigm for navigating a post-Trump world. In the face of relentless bigotry, Fred Rogers has been chosen as our culture's moral compass — kind, no doubt, but also agreeable and non-confrontational. This year, Marielle Heller took a more nuanced approach with the fictionalized A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, which initially approaches Rogers with skepticism before embracing his way of looking at the world.
Like many American children from the baby boom onward, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was a staple of my early television viewing. Before graduating to slightly more advanced juvenile entertainment, I did my time in that tiny model neighborhood, eating up Fred Rogers's words of encouragement. Almost as pervasive as those cardigan sweaters were rumors about Mister Rogers, traded between suspicious peers on the playground and at Sunday School. Despite his mild-mannered persona, there are a good number of people who seem genuinely convinced that Fred Rogers was anything but a gentle man. Though there have been decades of (debunked) rumors about his sexuality, these weren't the usual scandalous and sensationalized tables of a celebrity run amuck. They were, however, predicted on the assumption that Fred Rogers was a completely different person than he pretended to be on PBS.

Perhaps the most prevalent of these myths concerns Rogers's supposed military service. Despite the kind demeanor he broadcast to an audience of millions — or maybe because of it — there's a widespread myth that casts him as Rambo. He didn't just serve in the American military, but was a highly decorated sharpshooter with dozens of confirmed kills. It goes further. Rogers wasn't just a ruthless assassin; he also racked up an enormous collection of arm tattoos, hence the need for those long-sleeved shirts and sweaters. There were even more culturally specific rumors about Mister Rogers's hardened heart. I grew up Mormon, and was regularly told by churchgoers in my congregation that regardless of the message of love he preached, Rogers was actually a militant anti-Mormon who protested the construction of Latter-Day Saint churches and temples.
A Mister Rogers meme
As far as I know, there's no information (at least not any publicly available) that points toward Rogers hating Mormons. Regardless, it's a regular topic of chatter on LDS message boards with names like "mormondialogue.org." The rumors that Rogers was a Navy SEAL or sniper are easier to debunk. Rogers was born in 1928 and attended high school during World War II, graduating after it ended. By the time the draft was in effect during Vietnam, he was too old and already an ordained minister, which would have exempted him from service — not to mention that he was regularly appearing on television for the entire duration of the war, so there's no period of time in which he would have been able to serve.
These myths about Rogers seem derived from the same impulse that drives us to canonize him. In troubled times, societies seek out heroes, whether storied individuals from the past or icons of inspiration from the present. We look to saints for guidance; not necessarily religious figures, but people whose lives offer a way forward in the darkness and a framework for righteous, proper living. But once a culture designates something as sacred, it generates an opposing reaction, a need to make that sacred thing profane, to defile what we've been told is holy. Maybe ours is just a society starved for love, but in some ways it seems like a fundamental distrust of goodness in human beings. Mister Rogers can't just be a nice man. He either has to be a divine being sent from Heaven to preach a message of harmony on viewer-supported television, or he has to be the American Sniper, covered in tattoos and beating up Mormon missionaries in back alleys.
From A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (courtesy Sony Pictures)
Every expression of love has its equal and opposite expression of hate, and if Mister Rogers is a deity to some, it seems only natural that he should be a demon to others. But there's a third way: Mister Rogers was a cultural icon, and like every icon, there's truth to him, but the man we know is as much (if not more) a manufactured persona as he is the real Fred Rogers. He doesn't have to be a saint or a sinner. Maybe he's just a nice old man who lives next door.

I have no backing in the film industry: Aditi Rao Hydari
Actress Aditi Rao Hydari says she feels thrilled to get support from the people in Bollywood as she has no backing in the film industry.
The actress, who has got rave reviews for her role in hit film "Padmaavat", spoke about her career in Vogue India's May 2018 issue. The cover image of the issue has been shot on the OnePlus 6, which is said to be the first ever Indian magazine cover shot on a smartphone.
"I have no backing in the film industry. It is thrilling to be supported by people you love and respect. I just choose to keep doing my own thing, as long as I am not hurting anyone," Aditi said.
"If anyone wants to screw me over, it's their problem," she added.
For Hydari, it is all about the arts.
"I love painting, music, colour and dance. Acting is an amalgamation of all art forms... You can be anybody or anything. It's safe and secure, it's comfort."
Aditi is known for films like "London, Paris, New York", "Wazir" and "Bhoomi". She has also worked in the south Indian film industry, with projects like "Prajapathi", "Sringaram" and "Kaatru Veliyidai" to her credit.
She was born in Hyderabad and grew up in Delhi. Her maternal grandmother has been her greatest inspiration.
"I dressed girly in kurtas, bindis and braids because I loved Bharatanatyam. But my nani would give me junk food, put me in shorts, let my ringlets free, and send me out in the mud to play."
Her obsession with floral scents goes back to memories of her mother's large collection of handloom saris that she wore with mismatched blouses.
"When she would go for a shower, I would pick up her sari and wrap it around myself. She would come out and ask me to take something cleaner, prettier. But it smelled of her, of comfort and tea rose," added the actress, who has worn a specific perfume for every role of hers, whether it is Leela in "Kaatru Veliyidai" or Mehrunissa in "Padmaavat".

Ann Coulter - March 7, 2018 - RACIAL QUOTAS KILL KIDS
RACIAL QUOTAS KILL KIDS
President Obama did a lot of bad things, but pound for pound, one of the worst was the January 2014 "Dear Colleague" letter sent jointly by his Education and Justice Departments to all public schools threatening lawsuits over racial discrimination in student discipline. The letter came after years of his administration browbeating schools for their failure to discipline every race of student at the same rate.
As the Huffington Post put it: "American Schools Are STILL Racist, Government Report Finds." The evidence? "Five percent of white students were suspended annually, compared with 16 percent of black students, according to the report." Q.E.D.
According to theory, there's NO WAY blacks and Hispanics are doing things that require more school discipline than whites or Asians. So if more black students are expelled than Asians, well, gentlemen, we have our proof of racism. To comply, schools would have to stop suspending black kids for breaking a teacher's jaw, but suspend Asians for dropping an eraser.
Using the same logic, I could close the achievement gap between blacks and Asians in a single day by going to every principal's office in the country and burning the transcripts. (Liberals are saying, "You know, that's not a bad idea.")
The "school-to-prison pipeline" argument for racial quotas in discipline was hatched in education schools and black studies departments. What I want to know is: How did they test the idea?
To validate the theory that recording students' criminal behavior produces students with criminal records, we divided students into two groups. Group A we continued to suspend when they acted up; Group B we would not suspend no matter what -- even when they engaged in their little mischief, like cracking heads with crowbars, dropping teachers off buildings, using a switchblade to cut other students' eyes out.
RESULT: At the end of the year, Group B had better records.
Were the researchers really in suspense about how the experiment was going to turn out? I could have told them at the beginning that their odds of success were tremendous -- unless they forgot halfway through and began accidentally suspending students in Group B.
But the Obama administration said: Wow! That's amazing. Do you think other schools could replicate those results?
One of the administration's models was Broward County, Florida. Which is kind of important, now that we know that it was Broward's official policy to make it impossible to arrest students like Nikolas Cruz, thus allowing him to amass a cache of firearms, walk into Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and murder 17 people.
The "school-to-prison pipeline" nonsense may not be the explanation for every school shooting, but it is absolutely the explanation for THIS school shooting. No matter what Cruz did, no matter how many times his crimes were reported to the sheriff or school officials, there was no way a lad with a name like "Nikolas Cruz" was ever going to leave school with a record.
Broward County's innovative idea of eliminating school discipline captivated Obama's Department of Education. It was expressly cited by the department's Civil Rights Division with the notation: "New model for other jurisdictions?"
Last October -- nearly a year into the Trump administration -- Broward Schools Superintendent Robert W. Runcie humbly noted that the district was receiving "invitations from around the country, including from The White House and Federal Office of Civil Rights, to share details about the historic reforms" on school discipline.
Either: Liberals truly believe that all races commit crimes at exactly the same level, frequency and intensity; OR they are willing to have people die for their political agenda.
Conservatives didn't pick this school shooting as the test case for gun control. It was liberals who were going to ride the Parkland shooting all the way to the midterms. They thought they had a beautiful story about the evil NRA.
Not the mass shooting in Orlando -- because of the obvious immigration angle. Not San Bernardino -- for the same reason. Not Las Vegas -- probably for the same reason, but we'll never know because law enforcement has issued only lies and nonsense about that shooting.
The media did all the hard work of making sure Parkland was the only topic on anyone's mind, with everyone demanding that we "do something!"
And then we got the facts. Cruz's criminal acts were intentionally ignored by law enforcement on account of Broward's much-celebrated "school-to-prison pipeline" reforms.
Thank God for the internet, or we'd never have known the truth.
Admittedly, most of the harm done by the policy that enabled Cruz is not usually a mass shooting. The main damage done by the "school-to-prison pipeline" idiocy is: broken bones, smashed teeth, traumatized students, making it impossible for other students to learn, having a bad influence on marginal students and teachers sinking into depression.
Check at your local school for the full results. Thanks to the Obama administration, this crackpot theory is sweeping school districts across the nation!
The next time Democrats control Congress and the presidency, we will have racial quotas for prisons, too. When that happens, you better hope the government hasn't taken your guns.

On Halloween night 1999, CPRS conducted an investigation at a haunted cemetery in Oxford Connecticut. Joe Franke and Orlando took numerous digital photographs that evening but this one really was the "big catch". As usual, most of the photos we get that are fantastic come from or near the Wheeler Headstone, and this one was no exception. Amazing how this energy is trying to manifest into an apparition and nobody saw it with the naked eye. Could this be Mr. Wheeler?

Among by far the most typical electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a swap. While applying switches in your house is quite uncomplicated, wiring one may not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. You will find different kinds of switches, but for this instance, let's say that you are installing a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally popular change (plus the most straightforward).
You'll find a few hues of wires inside of a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and link them over the terminal screws - one particular on top rated plus the other around the bottom screw on the switch. The white wire serves like a source of uninterrupted electricity and is particularly typically linked to your light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the green wire to the ground screw of the switch.
These steps would usually be sufficient for making a normal swap function and not using a trouble. However, in the event you usually are not assured that you simply can achieve the activity properly and properly you much better let the pros do it as a substitute. Just after all, there's a cause why this task is among the most typical electrical wiring issues questioned by many people.
For many rationale, the best way to wire a ceiling fan is additionally considered one of quite possibly the most widespread electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this process, you can use only one swap for your single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it is only a matter of connecting the black wire of the ceiling fan towards the black wire with the swap. If there is a light-weight, the blue wire should be linked towards the black wire with the switch as well.
You can find good reasons why these are typically quite possibly the most typically questioned electrical wiring questions. One, numerous consider it is easy to complete, and two, they are the widespread electrical responsibilities at your house. But then you really shouldn't put your basic safety in danger as part of your intention to save cash. The stakes could even be much bigger for those who make an effort to save cash and do an electrical wiring career with out ample understanding or working experience.

Good Intentions, But…
This post has been updated to clarify that the family visited the Mayo Clinic's Michael Ackerman for a second opinion.
After a thirteen-year-old boy died suddenly, doctors diagnosed some 20 of his relatives with Long QT syndrome and implanted a defibrillator in his brother. But, the Wall Street Journal reports, researchers have since found that the family doesn't have Long QT syndrome. Instead, the Journal says this was an instance in which "[m]isuse of a genetic test as well as an incorrect interpretation of the findings" led to a misdiagnosis.
The Mayo Clinic's Michael Ackerman, who the family sought out for a second opinion, tells the paper that that the search for why the boy died was initiated with "good intentions." An autopsy uncovered possible heart-muscle anomalies, but the cause of death couldn't be determined. A cardiologist ordered genetic testing on the boy's brother and that revealed a mutation in a gene that's been linked to Long QT syndrome. The mutation was then uncovered in other family members, and the brother had a defibrillator implanted.
However, Ackerman notes that none of the family members had abnormal electrocardiograms indicative of the syndrome. In addition, he says the variant in the Long QT syndrome-associated gene that this family hasn't actually been linked to disease.
When the boy who died was eventually tested — blood had been collected at autopsy — he was found to have another mutation linked to sudden death.
Ackerman tells the Journal that the "the entire clinical evaluation was a train wreck, where wrong conclusions led to wrong turns and resulted in wrong therapies."
Misinterpreted Genetic Test
Submitted by TJOLEARY1_2041807
It seems from the above that the result was analytically correct, but that more consideration of the pedigree was required before deciding that the polymorphism found in the propositus was deleterious. This is one of the reasons that genetic assessments should not be considered "tests" but rather procedures that involve analysis of both the genetic material and the clinical situation for proper clinical interpretation.
The problem of using test results in isolation
Submitted by rkline719_2087358
This is an example of using test results without looking at the entire picture. Like any lab result, it must be interpreted and then acted upon within the correct context. Taken in isolation, any lab test can lead an unsuspecting clinician down the wrong road. That's why critical thinking and clinical acumen are so important. A good reminder to all.

Japan prepares next-gen fighter development framework
Japan's Ministry of Defense (MoD) has announced it will formalise a framework for the development of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force's (JASDF) 5th generation F-X fighter.
While the JASDF will also acquire the 5th generation F-35 Lightning II it has been denied the F-22 Raptor because the US government has never cleared the aircraft for export and it is no longer in production in any case. Nevertheless, it still plans to acquire a 5th generation air superiority fighter and this announcement demonstrates its intent to go it alone, if necessary.
The Japanese MoD will stand up its Future Fighter Development Office in April 2020, following a successful technology demonstrator program, the X-2 Shinshin, which showed that Japan's aerospace industry could produce a viable 5thgeneration stealthy design.
It's not clear at this stage what the avionics and sensor performance requirements for this new aircraft might be, nor which industry teams might tackle these projects.

And so many times when we seek and search and LOOK for these answers, they're nowhere to be found.
We take "find your passion!" courses, or we download worksheets. We read "Strength's Finder" books. We ask our friends what they think. Some of us hire coaches like me.
But often times…after the money has been spent, and the worksheets have been filled out, the online quizzes have been taken, we're still left with that empty feeling. That confusion. The question of "what the hell am I supposed to do with my life" still remains.
I have a theory on this (which I'll get to in a sec), and my interview with Robyn Devine, of "She Makes Hats" speaks beautifully to this theory.
Her mission of knitting 10,000 hats (she's on hat # 653 right now) and giving them away FOR FREE goes against a lot of marketing and online messages that will tell you that you need to make your primary focus on making money in order to have a successful business.
She challenges the idea that you need PR people, marketing people, and a "team" in order to get the word out there about your mission and make a difference in the world (and get a book deal).
And she inspires us to know that small changes in someone's day can make a huge difference in the world.
If you're one of us who's been wondering "what the hell am I supposed to do with my life" and you're someone who knows deep inside you're meant to make a difference in the world, you won't want to miss this interview.
I hope you enjoy the recording. And I'd love to know…what was your favorite bit of learning? What was your biggest takeaway?
As long as we continue to pursue those things that have always been there, that are natural, and exciting, that everything will fall into place.
That no matter how small you FEEL your mission is, that it is inevitably making a big difference in the world. And might even get you a book deal.
I would love to hear from you guys. What are your takeaways from this interview? How did you "find your purpose?" Or are you still looking? Leave your thoughts in the comments below.
And one quick announcement…The Wildheart Revolution is about to announce something super juicy, fun and something I've never done before. Make sure you are on the list to find out first hand when the news goes live!
She Makes Hats is one woman's story of finding meaning, purpose, and passion by way of an old-fashioned yet rediscovered craft. With a push from a friend, Robyn Devine, a thirty-something wife and mother, moved past her apprehension and began expressing herself through texture, color, and design, turning knitting into her hobby, her meditation, and a functional product that helps people all around the world.
Now, in an effort to knit 10,000 hats for people all around the world, Robyn contributes to a number of programs, aiding sick children, traveling artists, and newborns in other countries. Knitting remains a steadfast companion and leaves her blessed with worldwide friends, support, and the encouragement to continue her mission: to bring comfort, warmth, and the "sweet spot" fit of a knit hat to everyone. Find her at her website or Instagram and contact her if you know someone who needs a free knitted hat (no…really).
Put your name right here to come help us rock the house and find out the biggest secrets of being a writer!
In a world with so much technology, we all tend to have a lot of "friends" all over the globe. And the more we nurture those relationships, the easier it is to forget to have real live conversations with real live people that are right in front of us.
We forget to have conversations with purpose.
And that is exactly what today's talk with Dave is all about.
1) What does it mean to truly be successful?
2) If life is about the journey and not the destination, what is the point of even thinking of an end goal?
3) If there are no real "answers" to life's biggest questions and there is nowhere to "get," then why do us business owners try so hard to get there?
4) What does it mean to "BE LOVE"?
5) What does it mean to Be A Wildheart.
We'll learn that "the journey ought to be treated like the reward" (tweet this), or that "true success is about honoring yourself and honoring others" (tweet this).
So come on in and enjoy the chat.
And now I want to hear from you!
One thing that stood out for me in this interview was the idea that true success is honoring ourselves and honoring others and to me, part of honoring ourselves is BEING ourselves.
So in the comments below I'd love to hear what YOU think. What does success mean to you?
Can't wait to hear you thoughts on this!
Dave and I had so much fun in this interview that we decided to keep it going on a super fun call! I usually have these available only for my Wildheart membership community but this one is so much fun I wanted to include everyone!
Dave will teach us the biggest excuses and myths about being a writer, and how to go from hobby to career.
Call is Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 5pm PST.
