Guest Interview: Julian Winters Talks to Author Adib Khorram in Honor of the Release of Darius the Great is Not Okay!
August 28, 2018 Dahlia Adler	Leave a comment
What happens when you get two delightful authors of queer YA coming together to discuss one's new release, that just happens to be so beloved by me that it's this month's new release spotlight? This amazing interview, conducted by the absolutely wonderful Julian Winters, author of Running With Lions. I'm thrilled to have Julian and Adib on the site today discussing mental health rep, relationship dynamics, and more! Come check it out!
Hi Adib! Thank you so much for taking the time to answer some questions about your amazing debut YA novel, Darius the Great Is Not Okay. I don't know if you've heard but… I'm a huge fan. The last book that drew me in and stayed with me like this one was Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. The friendships, the look at parent/child relationships, the journey and growth of the characters—everything a reader needs, especially a young adult reader, is in this book. Can you tell us a little bit about your book journey and what inspired you to write this one?
Thank you for having me! Aristotle and Dante is amazing company to be in. It's one of my favorites, so I definitely hoped to hit some of the same notes.
I started writing Darius while I was visiting my dad's side of the family (the Iranian side) in Vancouver for Nowruz. I had just finished a first draft of a book I thought was unique and different and was sure to be the kind of book that would get me an agent. It seemed fresh and fantastic.
The next day I saw a deal announcement from Publishers' Weekly that sounded like…pretty much what I had just finished. So I flipped some tables and moped for a day or two and then I decided to write something only I could write: about being Iranian-American, torn between two cultures, growing up with depression. Things I knew intimately, that I still struggled with, and that I felt I needed to reconcile.
I wrote it, and revised it, and revised it, and revised it, and revised it some more, and started querying. I did an R&R at one point that made some hugely beneficial changes. And I eventually landed an agent, Molly O'Neill, who loved Darius and wanted to represent it. So we revised it more and then she started sending it out to editors, and we got acquired by Dana Chidiac at Dial. And then we edited it even more! But I'm so happy with how it came out.
Darius is such a soft boy. He cries, struggles with his emotions and appearance. He loves hard. It's so heartfelt but also very real. He also has clinical depression and I loved the way mental health is treated in this book. It's openly discussed and Darius—nor his immediate family—never once tries to ignore that it's there. Can you talk about how important it was to show Darius' depression? Also, his relationship with his father in regards to depression?
I've been heartened to see the increased representation of depression and mental illness in YA literature, but a lot of it didn't speak to my experience, which was and has been, for the most part, one of low-level, persistent melancholy rather than suicidal ideation or other crisis. I wanted to write about people whose depression is manageable, whose lives are informed by it without being defined by it.
I think, because there's a genetic component depression, and because my own family has a long history with depression, it was important to acknowledge that it can be a generational disease, and I think generational diseases can lead to complicated feelings for both the parent and the child.
I'm glad you mentioned how soft he is. I think it's so easy to characterize people with depression as aloof or detached. But I often experienced it as too much feeling. And I also think it's important to show boys that it's okay to be soft. Unpacking and dismantling toxic masculinity is something I hope to grapple with in all my work.
The father/son dynamic is honest and incredibly-well done. Darius' issues with his father ache somewhere deep. They don't necessarily see eye-to-eye on a lot of things, but they have one common ground—Star Trek: The Next Generation. For me, that hit home because the only connection I have with my own father are through our shared love for sci-fi series or movies. What inspired this interesting look at father/son dynamics?
It came from a lot of places. Like I said, some of it came from my wanting to examine how generational disease can shape relationships. And part of that is that, as the child of diaspora, I and others like me often have a hard time dealing with parental expectations.
I also wanted to explore how we form our loves. I got some of mine from my parents, and some from my friends. I was introduced to Star Trek by my friend in second grade, but it was something that my grandma and I watched every Thursday (which is when new episodes aired on our local NBC affiliate). I think those special moments of shared experience can really come to define our relationships. And it sounds like you found that, too!
Darius has a lot of great relationships—his mom, grandparents, Sohrab—throughout the book. My favorite was the one with his younger sister, Lelah. It's apparent how much he cares for her. But he's also quietly frustrated with how easily she blends with his family in Yazd—something he's struggling to do—because she speaks Farsi. And how their father welcomes her into the ST: TNG viewings when that's the only thing Darius shares with him. Again, those moments were so easy to connect with. Was that an aspect of sibling relationships you set out to write? Was it something that developed as you wrote?
That's something that developed in the edits. Originally Darius and Laleh's relationship was maybe a little too saccharine; my genius editor pointed out that no matter how much Darius loves her, there would still be moments when he was sick of her. That's just human nature. And I'm so glad she did point that out, because I think it makes their relationship read as so much more real.
Majority of the book takes place in Yazd, Iran. It's rare but wonderful to see a YA contemporary novel take place in somewhere other than America. It was refreshing and insightful. Was it difficult to explore Darius' journey while also taking readers on a journey through Yazd's landscape, explaining cultural differences, food, Persian holidays, and Farsi?
Actually, I don't think I could have told the story without having it take place in Yazd. To me, Darius's internal journey was always mirrored by his external one. He couldn't know who he was without knowing where he came from, and he couldn't appreciate where he came from without understanding how that influenced who he was.
By the way, my life goal now is to have you introduce me to the wonders of faludeh!
I accept this challenge. It can be hard to find but it's worth it.
There's this beautifully understated romance in this book. But it's not your paint-by-numbers romance. It's not even a boy-meets-boy romance. It's Darius falling in love with the city of Yazd. It's the platonic romance of Darius and Sohrab. It's Darius falling deeper in love with his grandparents and, by extension, himself. Were those your intentions—to show a main character experiencing a different type of love? Was there ever any push for you to have a romantic storyline in the novel?
All of my most important relationships in life have been non-romantic love, and that was even more true when I was a teenager. I think it's important and true to show that the love between two friends, or the love between a son and his grandmother, can be as life-shattering as a romance.
There was never any push to add romance—indeed, one of the first things Molly said to me on "the call" is that she loved that Darius told "the love story of a friendship."
Okay, we have to address the nerdiness of Darius. It's perfect! His excitement/dedication to things like the Lord of the Rings and ST: TNG is as much hilarious as it is relatable. How much of that is you? And, for the record—besides Captain Picard, who is your favorite ST: TNG character?
I'm super nerdy, and I am beyond excited to see Captain Picard's return! It's like a dream come true! So I did borrow a lot of my own nerdiness to bring Darius to life, though I tried to channel the shape my nerdiness took when I was in high school rather than what it's like today. I feel like I loved things in a really remarkable and passionate and consuming way when I was a teen, and I suspect I'm not alone in that.
Favorite character aside from Captain Picard? Hmm. Probably Guinan.
Can we talk about Sohrab for a second? I loved him. He's an unexpected delight and a great best friend to Darius. He's excited about anything that involves Darius and that was such a poignant part of Darius' journey. To feel like someone understood him and loved everything about him. Someone who made Darius "belong." SPOILER ALERT: When Sohrab gave Darius the Team Melli jersey? I experienced a major containment failure.
Sohrab isn't without flaws. He makes mistakes. He also owns up to them. Did he represent anyone in your own life?
When I was Darius's age, I already had a small but stable friend group of really close friends. Darius has never had that before, though, so I kind of borrowed bits of lots of my other friendships when trying to craft Sohrab.
I also tried to capture the feeling of meeting and instantly falling into friendship with someone, something I didn't experience myself until I was much older and had a day job and found myself instantly friends with some of my colleagues.
Let's talk writing methods: I read you don't necessarily write to music playlists. Shocker! You did write Darius to Young the Giant—hello, I could write to Mind Over Matter for years, such a great album—but what helps you in your writing process? What inspires your writing moods?
Right? Home of the Strange came out while I was in revisions and it was even more perfect for Darius!
I can't write without tea. I need the ritual to kind of get into my writing headspace. And I need to be in a place that's "for work" and not for relaxation. If I'm writing at home, I'll sit in a different place than I sit if I'm watching TV or playing a game. But I love writing at coffee shops even more.
The buzz leading into the release of this book has been phenomenal. Starred-reviews. Authors talking non-stop about it. Obviously, that's exciting and always a positive, but has any of it been intimidating? Any advice for other debut authors about handling the pressures of a book release?
It has been super intimidating. I've always been the kind of person that's waiting for the other shoe to drop. My good friend Lana Wood Johnson said during her agent search that she always took rejection as a sign she was working hard, and so hearing yes was a strange feeling, and I think she really hit the nail on the head. So some days, I still struggle with the feeling that everything will come crashing down around me. I try not to listen to that voice, though.
My advice is to have a good support network. Some need to be writers, and some need to not be writers, because you're going to need to unburden different parts of the experience to different people.
I'm calling it—there's going to be a lot of "book hangover" once people finish Darius. People are going to need something to tide them over until your next great novel arrives. What books are you enjoying, either in the same vein as Darius or beyond?
For other people wanting awesome Iranian characters, I've loved Arvin Ahmadi's Down and Across and Sara Farizan's Here to Stay. For people wanting stories about life-defining friendships, I'd point them to your debut, Running with Lions! I'm still reeling from my own book hangover from that.
For a self-deprecating narrator, this may be a surprising recommendation, but I've been obsessed with Martha Wells's The Murderbot Diaries, a series of novellas about a rogue SecUnit (essentially a cyborg designed to provide security for humans) who can't seem to stop caring about people, despite trying not to.
The book world is going to fall in love with you, which only means one thing: What's next for you? Will we see further adventures of Darius and Sohrab?
Well, I'm working on another book, another stand-alone, but I can't say too much about it right now. I will say that it's another contemporary, it takes place mostly in a Kansas City high school, and the main character is a GSA President with some serious Leslie Knope-ish tendencies.
I really loved getting into Darius's head, so I'd never say no to returning to him. I think I know what story I would want to tell. But ultimately that'll be up to the book doing well enough to make a companion novel viable. Fingers crossed!
Thanks so much for agreeing to this interrogation Adib! And thank you Dahlia for this wonderful opportunity. Now, Adib, how many lights are there?
Thank you, Julian! And you, Dahlia! It's been a blast.
And THERE! ARE! FOUR! LIGHTS!

New Release Spotlight: Darius the Great is Not Okay
August 17, 2018 Dahlia Adler	1 Comment
You know those books that are just special? Like, you want to hug them and hug their main characters and check in on them? This debut is that book. The fact that it's queer is more quiet subtext than anything else (though it's not unclear); the main character is very much at the earliest stages of questioning, something he's able to do in part because this book is really where he first learns how to forge different kinds of relationships. From being really beautifully set in Iran to containing a wonderful friendship between two boys to the great depression rep to body self-consciousness to nerdery, this book has so much, and I honestly think it should be in every school library, and definitely in your personal library, so keep an eye out when it releases on August 28!
Darius the Great is Not Okay by Adib Khorram (28th)
Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and he knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He's about to take his first-ever trip to Iran, and it's pretty overwhelming–especially when he's also dealing with clinical depression, a disapproving dad, and a chronically anemic social life. In Iran, he gets to know his ailing but still formidable grandfather, his loving grandmother, and the rest of his mom's family for the first time. And he meets Sohrab, the boy next door who changes everything.
Sohrab makes sure people speak English so Darius can understand what's going on. He gets Darius an Iranian National Football Team jersey that makes him feel like a True Persian for the first time. And he understand that sometimes, best friends don't have to talk. Darius has never had a true friend before, but now he's spending his days with Sohrab playing soccer, eating rosewater ice cream, and sitting together for hours in their special place, a rooftop overlooking the Yazdi skyline.
Sohrab calls him Darioush–the original Persian version of his name–and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he's Darioush to Sohrab. When it's time to go home to America, he'll have to find a way to be Darioush on his own.

Guest Recs From Erin Ptah: LGBQ+ Webcomics With No Romance
Hey everyone, check it out, I managed to finish another webcomic reclist before Pride Month ends. (As a guest-poster, I don't know if it'll be published before Pride Month ends, but I want y'all to appreciate the effort anyway.) (Blogger's Note: WELL, I messed this up tremendously, so in fact, while Erin did turn it in during Pride Month, uhhh…well.)
At this point I've recced a lot of strips about wlw/mlm characters who have active romances — some that develop over the course of the series, some that were in place when it started. Which makes sense, since that's the most obvious way to establish and celebrate a character's queerness. That said…you don't stop being queer when you aren't dating.
So I pulled together a bunch of comics featuring characters without romantic storylines, whose sexual orientations are indicated in other ways. And the rest of the writing makes it clear that it's not authorial bias against same-sex relationships. These people are just frankly way too busy with other things right now.
Today's theme: Webcomics with LGBQ+ characters who don't have romances!
(Note that, if it's an ongoing series, I'm not guaranteeing they won't be paired off at some point down the road. Or saying it would be a bad thing if they did! Just reccing the comics based on the current state of the archives.)
(1) Sleepless Domain by Mary Cagle
Sleepless Domain is a comic about an isolated city in the middle of a dangerous world filled with monsters. During the day, the city is perfectly safe. At night, however, the populace locks themselves inside as the city streets fill with monsters. The only ones who can combat these creatures are very special girls with the power to transform into Magical Girls!
Dark mahou shoujo, ongoing. In this world magical girls are widely-known (every costume upgrade gets gushed-over in the media), institutionally supported (they have special schools to accommodate the way they're usually up all night fighting monsters!), and highly marketable (especially if your team has a branding manager).
But the monsters are serious, and can be fatal to a girl who lets her guard down. After a tragedy in the early chapters, the story focuses on the survivors' struggle to deal with the grief and adapt to their changed lives.
In the face of all the other problems our heroines are dealing with, it's refreshing that their world is so LGBTQ-friendly. There's an unselfconsciously cuddly f/f couple in the supporting cast, and nobody finds it confusing or remarkable when a trans girl awakens as a mahou shoujo.
None of the main characters are dating, and most of their orientations could still be anything, but one was finally confirmed to have a fellow magical-girl ex. Plenty of readers already shipped her with her co-star, and that sure didn't hurt. I do like the ship, and I can see canon going there at some point in the future…but not the near future. At this point I wouldn't even describe their interactions as shipteasing. It's all about friendship and recovery.
(2) Forward by Mason "Tailsteak" Williams
Lee lives alone, and spends most of their time watching episodes of Martian cartoons and rating them out of five stars. They have no job, and necessities like food and clothing are delivered to their apartment and prepared by various devices that Lee either rents or owns. Like most people who have been given everything they say they want, Lee is miserable.
Sci-fi, ongoing. Lee is some form of transfeminine — I hesitate to use any specific present-day labels, because this future is a "post-bio-gender setting" in which most people use they/them pronouns anyway. Into their isolated life barges Zoa, a multipurpose companionship-bot ("Legally, I'm a vending machine") whose primary function involves blowjobs.
Lee isn't interested in buying sex. (Although they're not upset or dysphoric at the topic, in case you were worried.) What they really crave is genuine social interaction, which Zoa also turns out to be pretty good at, in its own special way.
So now they're…friends, sort of? And making plans to do more friendship-things in the future. Maybe even leaving Lee's apartment and trying to interact with the rest of society. I can't wait.
The art is solid, but this is one of those strips I would read if it was all done in stick figures, because the writing for the dialogue is great. Clever and snappy, funny and relatable, and every once in a while it'll punch you in the heart out of nowhere.
I'll also throw in a qualified rec for the artist's previous comic, Leftover Soup. There are a lot of elements that I wouldn't blame anyone for avoiding — most notably, the deaths of two young black men, as well as one pet hamster. But if the rough parts aren't dealbreakers for you, the good parts are very good. And it has some of the only main-character polyamory webcomic representation I can think of: a five-person unit involving two mostly-gay guys, two bi/pan women, and one straight guy, as written by a poly/pan author.
(3) Widdershins by Kate Ashwin
Widdershins is a series of Victorian-era adventure stories, set in the fictional town of Widdershins, West Yorkshire- England's magical epicentre, home to bounty hunters, failed wizards, stage magicians, and more, besides.
Fantasy adventure, ongoing. Powerful and deadly spirits keep getting summoned, causing intricate havoc, and then being desummoned by mismatched groups of lovable oddballs. The first few stories seem like disconnected adventures in the same general universe, but eventually the groups start meeting each other, and have to unravel the villains' shared backstory in order to bind them all for real.
And if the general description doesn't hook you, try this: One of the mismatched groups consists of amazing cooks from all throughout history, who got swalloved out of their home eras and transported to the same time period by an evil magical hotel.
The world seems to have period-typical homophobia on a cultural level — all the socially-acknowledged romances, certainly all the marriages, are m/f. Still, on a personal level, none of the main characters seem to bat an eye at same-sex attractions or romances among their friends. The actual couples of all gender combinations are pretty backgrounded; most of the main cast is busy with other things. I won't spoil you for which of the women (more than one!) turn out to have ex-girlfriends.
Bonus: one of the characters is described as asexual, and nobody has a problem with that either. And in the time travel storyline, the author makes it explicit that full marriage equality is in this world's future.
…so you can probably guess which arc is my favorite. That said, the writing is funny and engaging across-the-board, all the stories are well-paced, and all the characters are wonderful.
(4) Magical How by Eurika Yusin Gho
Gabe and Booker are just two normal college guys, sharing an apartment and failing spectacularly at love. But one day, a talking golf ball named Hal lands in their lives and offers them magical powers…and despite it being a terrible idea, Gabe signs up immediately! Now he must don the admittedly flattering dress of a Magical and fight for love and justice, while Booker, blinded by the sparkles, wants nothing to do with any of this.
Magical-boy drama, ongoing. At first Gabe is fighting basic monsters-of-the-day, but then he gets taken under the wing of a team of higher-level magical boys with ulterior motives, and the plot starts developing layers. Although the artist never loses sight of her self-professed motivation, "I just want to draw cute boys in skirts."
The non-magical roommate, Booker, is gay — which we know partly because he has a T-shirt that says so. We've gotten hints about a troubled romantic past, which makes it unsurprising that he's avoided any love interests in the present.
A lot of the fandom ships him with Gabe based on odd-couple chemistry, but the author doesn't seem to…and frankly, neither do I. In spite of the pink-on-pink aesthetic and overflowing enthusiasm of a standard mahou-shoujo protagonist, Gabe has a surprising amount of unlikeability. I'm hoping the plot will involve him growing and maturing, not even into a worthy boyfriend, just into a better roommate.
(5) The Suburban Jungle by John "The Gneech" Robey
The original The Suburban Jungle (Starring Tiffany Tiger) is a furry slice-of-life/romantic-comedy/bad-sf webcomic created by The Gneech, which ran from February 1999 – November 2009.
Furry comedy, complete. Tiffany Tiger is a model/actress who has a small-time career in New San Angeles, and would like to make it bigger. A warmhearted mix of showbiz-industry jokes (minor characters include Jerry Springer-Spaniel and Weird Al Hamstervic), family shenanigans, romantic misadventures, and the occasional interdimensional conspiracy.
Fair warning, this one does spend a lot of time on the straight characters' love lives — mostly Tiffany's string of relationships and her half-sister's dating-to-marriage arc. It's not a "no time for romance" strip overall. It's just that there's only one major gay character — Tiffany's manager, Drezzer — never gets a serious romantic storyline despite being shamelessly flirty.
But it doesn't come across like the artist thinks less of queer couples (there's at least one same-sex romance in the background cast), and Drezzer isn't portrayed as some kind of lonely tragic cautionary tale. He has a group of friends he cares about, an enjoyable job that he's good at, and a happy and fulfilling life in general. He just happens not to have a partner at the moment. And that's okay.
(I do know there are more queer characters, with and without romances, in the ongoing sequel comic, Rough Housing. Haven't read enough of it to go into detail. It's set in the same universe, but follows the next generation of characters, and I don't know if they mention any details on Drezzer's future in particular.)
Erin Ptah likes cats, magical girls, time travel, crossdressing, and webcomics. She's the artist behind But I'm A Cat Person and Leif & Thorn, both of which have several unattached queer characters in the main casts. Say hi on Twitter at @ErinPtah.

Backlist Book of the Month: Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley
August 8, 2018 Dahlia Adler	Leave a comment
One request I get with some frequency is for great queer books that also have great mental health rep, and to that, when appropriate, Highly Illogical Behavior by John Corey Whaley is one I always recommend. This isn't a book where sexuality takes center stage, or even second stage, really, but the MC, Solomon, is gay all the same. However, it's his agoraphobia that's really defined his life of late, and this story is about making human connections, however flawed, until you find your place in the world that's overwhelmed you. It's a personal favorite, and if you haven't picked it up yet, I hope you love it as much as I did!
Sixteen-year-old Solomon is agoraphobic. He hasn't left the house in three years, which is fine by him.
Ambitious Lisa desperately wants to get into the second-best psychology program for college (she's being realistic). But is ambition alone enough to get her in?
Enter Lisa.
Determined to "fix" Sol, Lisa steps into his world, along with her charming boyfriend, Clark, and soon the three form an unexpected bond. But, as Lisa learns more about Sol and he and Clark grow closer and closer, the walls they've built around themselves start to collapse and their friendships threaten to do the same.

The Colorful Catalog of Chace Verity!
Welcome back to The Colorful Catalog, the LGBTQReads feature that welcomes authors of at least five works of queer fiction (beyond cis m/m) to come on the site and discuss those works with us! Today we've got Chace Verity, whose work (or at least covers!) you might be well familiar with by now as a reader of the site! So come check out their work and find a new fave!
I'm Chace Verity (she/they, though "they" is preferred over "she"), and as of this writing, I'm 30. For a person who vehemently dreaded turning 30, I've been embracing this year and using 30 as an excuse to really explore all the queer parts of me that I've been avoiding my whole life. Writing has been the best road for me to take in this particular journey of self-discovery.
As a voracious consumer of media in multiple genres, I find myself branching into all kinds of worlds in my writing. Many authors I respect greatly have a distinct focus in their branding, and maybe I will get there one day when I'm no longer 30. But right now, I'm everywhere. I'm too busy figuring "me" out to worry a whole lot about what kind of platform I'm building.
(I guess I could always make business cards that say "Chace Verity: writes whatever the hell they want.")
The Panic Before 30
Team Phison, a geeky age-gap long distance m/m contemporary romance, is the novella that I published in the last bit of 20s I had left. I wrote it when I was 28, the same age as grumpy protagonist Phil's ball of sunshine he finds himself shockingly in love with. I put so much of myself into Tyson, more than anyone knows.
I sat on it for a year, thinking no one had any interest in a low-drama, queer take on people who meet through a video game. Then 3 months before 30 came, and I desperately wanted to say I did something with my twenties.
Everyone around me loved Phil and Tyson. People I admire tell me they reread this novella constantly. Wow, I thought. Maybe I can really be me.
But who am I?
The Rush Of Turning 30
I've known I was pansexual for nearly half of my life (ID'd as bi before I discovered pan). Realized I wasn't cis maybe two years ago, while I was channeling Tyson. Felt validated after publishing Team Phison and seeing the positive feedback. Validation feels good.
Once my birthday rolled around, I started refining older works and making them even queerer before publishing them.
My heart lies in my fantasy series, The Absolutes. This is a world that's truly for me. Queer characters! Being open and proud! In a fantasy world! If other people enjoy it, then that's a bonus.
My Heart Is Ready is a prequel novella with f/f and m/f romantic pairings, featuring a bi heroine with secret earth magic and a queer hero who is half-harpy, half-human, and 100% into gossip. They're exes who are best friends with some serious trust issues. Throw in a heist to steal some rare seeds, and you've got a serious test of friendship going on.
The first full-length novel in the Absolutes series, Your Heart Will Grow, focuses more on romance than friendship. A m/f romance with a (mostly) hetero trans soldier hero and a pansexual mermaid heroine, that stakes go up as the unlikely lovers go against a spurned prince and the possible eradication of mermaids.
Flipping back to contemporary, Just Some Things was a tiny collection of f/f shorts I put together as a freebie. It's truly amazing to me how many people have enjoyed the weird museum cute-(re)meet, my grumpy girl with a predilection for the F word, and the college friends who have suddenly realized they're in love.
30 isn't scary, I realized in January. I don't know who I am, but this number doesn't define me.
The Calm Of 30
In my new decade, I've started writing really weird and queer stuff. Things without the allocishet gaze. Things I absolutely am obsessed with.
Back in February, I was really into the idea of a retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel, but f/f and with minotaurs. And rock candy, holy moly, I love rocky candy. The Masked Minotaur came together very quickly as a novelette. It's a unique work in that I have a version with a super explicit sex scene and a version where the sex scene fades to black. Pick your version; it's in the same download!
My most recent release veers away from romance and focuses on friendship. The best thing I ever did for myself was find other queer people to be friends with, people who encouraged me to be myself, people who I will forever encourage to be themselves. Hard To Find is a collection of short stories with queer characters making friends with other queer characters. Half of it is contemporary, and the other half is fantasy.
I'm really in a good place now. I'm working on queer stuff and having a good time with it. I can't wait to show you what 31 will bring. So far, there are couch hunters (enby/f main pairing), disastrous thieves (m/m), a fantasy enby/f/f tale, and more from the Absolutes involving a wishing well and pirates (m/m and m/f). I'm excited for everything beyond 31, too. You can follow me on Twitter or check out my website for all the updates of my thirties.
Will I freak out again around 39? It's possible. But I hope I will look back at this year and remind myself everything turned out well.
Chace Verity (she/they) is turning 31 on September 28 and ready to help anyone else feeling down over arbitrary numbers. They are publishing queer as heck stories with a strong romantic focus, although friendships and found families are important too. Chace prefers to write fantasy but dabbles in contemporary and historical fiction as well. An American citizen & Canadian permanent resident, Chace will probably never be able to call a gallon of milk a "four-liter."

The Dark Beneath the Ice by Amelinda Bérubé (7th)
Something is wrong with Marianne.
It's not just that her parents have finally split up. Or that life hasn't been the same since she quit dancing. Or even that her mother has checked herself into the hospital.
She's losing time. Doing things she would never do. And objects around her seem to break whenever she comes close. Something is after her. And the only one who seems to believe her is the daughter of a local psychic.
But their first attempt at an exorcism calls down the full force of the thing's rage. It demands Marianne give back what she stole. Whatever is haunting her, it wants everything she has—everything it's convinced she stole. Marianne must uncover the truth that lies beneath it all before the nightmare can take what it thinks it's owed, leaving Marianne trapped in the darkness of the other side.

Learning Curves by Ceilie Simkiss (16th)
Elena Mendez has always been career-first; with only two semesters of law school to go, her dream of working as a family lawyer for children is finally within reach. She can't afford distractions. She doesn't have time for love.
And she has no idea how much her life will change, the day she lends her notes to Cora McLaughlin.
A freelance writer and MBA student, Cora is just as career-driven as Elena. But over weeks in the library together, they discover that as strong as they are apart, they're stronger together. Through snowstorms and stolen moments, through loneliness and companionship, the two learn they can weather anything as long as they have each other–even a surprise visit from Elena's family.
From solitude to sweetness, there's nothing like falling in love. College may be strict…but when it comes to love, Cora and Elena are ahead of the learning curve.
Ruin of Stars by Linsey Miller (28th)

And the tales coming out of north are baffling. Talk of dark spirits, missing children, and magic abound. As Sal heads north toward their ruined homeland and the lords who destroyed everything, they learn secrets and truths that can't be ignored.

Pope Francis Puts The Poor Front And Center
By Sylvia Poggioli
Published May 20, 2013 at 11:51 AM MDT
Pope Francis blesses a child Sunday after the Holy Mass at St. Peter's Square, at the Vatican.
Over the past week, Pope Francis has launched a crescendo of attacks on the global financial system and what he calls a "cult of money" that does not help the poor.
The 2-month-old papacy of Francis — the Argentina-born Jorge Bergoglio — is shaping up as a papacy focused on the world's downtrodden. And in sharp contrast with the two preceding papacies, this one even contains echoes of the Latin American liberation theology movement that John Paul II and Benedict XVI had repressed.
The new pope's popularity is growing day by day. When Francis appears in St. Peter's Square, the crowd shouts his name in every imaginable language. Women hold out their babies to be kissed; everyone wants to touch him.
Vatican security guards are at a loss as Pope Francis gets off his popemobile to shake hands, to hug and to be hugged.
"Bergoglio wants to be the priest that everybody wants to have in his parish, as confessor, as spiritual director," says church historian Alberto Melloni. "And what we have seen in these few weeks is the start of a pastoral papacy."
Deeply Concerned By Inequity
Francis has shed some of the most pompous symbols of papal power. The ornate Renaissance vestments, the golden crucifix and red shoes dear to Benedict have been put away.
And Francis has shunned the papal apartment. He still lives in a communal setting in a Vatican residence where he delivers daily homilies at early morning Mass.
Benedict's focus on theology has given way to more concrete issues, like poverty, Francis' main concern.
Vatican analyst Massimo Franco says Francis is "a true global pope," adding that, contrary to his predecessors, whose worldviews were shaped by 20th century European history, Francis is steeped in the global issues of today and of the future.
"His focus on slums — megacity slums — and his experience as archbishop of Buenos Aires is very telling because naturally he is focusing on the poor of great cities," Franco says. "That is a non-state actor [who is] going to be a very powerful one in the next dozen of years."
Francis has long been deeply concerned by what he calls the negative aspects of globalization.
On May 1 — International Workers' Day — the pope referred directly to the collapse of a garment factory in Bangladesh that killed more than 1,000 people. He expressed anger at their $50 monthly wages.
"This is slave labor," he said.
"And I think of so many people who are jobless, often due to a purely bottom-line view of society, which seeks selfish profit without regard for social justice," he continued.
On Saturday, the pope zeroed in on the financial system.
"If investments and banks plunge, this is a tragedy," he said. "But if families are hurting" — he added ironically — "this is nothing."
Emphasis On Social Justice
Such statements echo liberation theology, an activist Catholic movement that was very present in Latin American slums, or favelas, in the 1960s and '70s, and which was sharply disciplined by John Paul II and his theological watchdog, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger — the future Pope Benedict — for its Marxist overtones.
Church historian Melloni says there were various schools of thought in liberation theology, and the Argentine cardinal embraced the least political.
"For Bergoglio, social justice is not a sort of service of the church, an external relations department oriented to those who are victims of injustice," says Melloni. "But it is part of the very essence of the church."
One of the pope's first acts was to unblock the beatification process of murdered El Salvador's Archbishop Oscar Romero, a martyr in Latin America. The process had languished under the two previous popes, allegedly because they considered Romero too close to liberation theology.
Leonardo Boff, a prominent liberation theologian silenced by John Paul, hails the Argentine pope as the harbinger of a new spring for the global church.
Vatican analysts are watching to see whether the change in this papacy's style will be followed by a change in substance.
Francis inherited a church filled with problems and scandals, from the decline in the number of priests to clerical sex abuse scandals and corruption within the Vatican. One of his first actions has been widely welcomed: the appointment of a commission of cardinals — all but one from outside the Vatican — who will assist him in governing the church.
This is seen as the first implementation of the principle of collegiality — first put forth in the Second Vatican Council 50 years ago — that called for greater representation of the Catholic faithful in church governance.

Sisters And Vatican II: A Generational Tug Of War
Barbara Bradley Hagerty
On Oct. 11, 1962, Pope John XXIII opened Vatican II, with a desire to let some fresh air into the Catholic Church. It was a revolution, especially for the nuns who were encouraged to go into the world and help the needy. But now the nuns are being censored, and a generational rift has emerged.

Vulture Premieres the Poster for World's Greatest Dad
Fans of Robin Williams's more typical comedies may want to read the fine print on this one. Bobcat Goldthwait's World's Greatest Dad — starring Williams as a high-school poetry teacher who finds fame by forging a suicide note — earned strong reviews after playing Sundance in January, and drew more comparisons to twisted films like Heathers than Mrs. Doubtfire. Magnolia Pictures was nice enough to give Vulture first crack at the film's poster. Dad premieres on cable VOD, Xbox Live, and Amazon VOD on July 24, and hits theaters in selected cities on August 21. Click to see the poster!

Alison Cotton - The Portrait You Painted of Me
LP Edition of 400. FTR Orange Vinyl Edition. Co-Released with Rocket Recordings
Here we have the third solo LP by London's Alison Cotton, following on previous successes, All Quiet at the Ancient Theatre and Only Darkness Now. And as with each of Cotton's projects it is a stylistic advance as well as another example of her dark signature sound.
Alison's work with bands is well documented by recordings with Saloon, 18th Day of May, Trimdon Grange Explosion, and her current, ecstatic folk/psych duo, The Left Outsides. But her solo recordings always seem a bit more experimental in terms of song structure and musical texture, as the six tracks on The Portrait You Painted of Me clearly demonstrate. The touchstones of her sound are viola, harmonium and voice, but these are merged together in all sorts of different ways, creating a rich and thoroughly artastic suite of songs.
"Mumurations Over the Moor," is a wordless piece of layered vocals, drifting like fog towards a sunset over the green undulations of Northeast England (from whence she hails.) "The Last Wooden Ship" evokes the shipyards of Sunderland using droning harmonium and viola lines, laced with piano and percussion events, while her voice calls out like one of Tim Buckley's Sirens urging listeners to a rocky demise. "I Buried the Candlesticks" has a haunted, traditional feel with its dolorously folky viola melody laid across a thick carpet harmonium, and small bursts of percussion that sound like cannonade heard through the thick cold walls of a castle in winter. "That Tunnel Underground Seemed Neverending" is a musical vision of Northumberland's mining culture at the dawn of the 20th Century — labyrinthine, subterranean, dimmer than night. "Violet May," the only "song" on the album, was inspired by a trip to Vita Sackville-West's Sissinghurst Castle. Its plot deals with a reclusive artist who has forsaken all else for a life of solitary creation in her tower. The structure and sound, make me think of a post-modern approach to lyrical concerns dealt with by folk singers of the British '60s, but the actual arrangement is closer to something John Cale might have done with Nico on The Marble Index. And finally we have "17th November 1962," inspired by nearly forgotten memories of disaster with a fishing boat, a storm and an ill-fated rescue attempt. The song (and album) ends with what sounds like a forlorn foghorn cutting across waves of night with Alison's voice again evoking the Sirens.
Damn, what a good spin.
As with its predecessors, The Portrait You Painted of Me was recorded at home in London, beautifully produced by Alison's partner, Mark Nicholas. She expressed concern at one point that the album might be a little too heavy in spots for some listeners, but that is a canard. I think one of the main things people relish about Alison's solo work is exactly the somber, exquisite melancholy she creates. This is some serious and remarkable stuff.

NFL Films Interns Top 15 Teams Week 10 Edition
Intern Files, Kevin Joyce, Teams, Top 15, Top 15 Teams, Uncategorized
Posted: November 7th, 2013
Four weeks ago, who would have pegged this team as a serious threat to the Saints for the division title?
We're past the midway point of the NFL regular season, and with the postseason looming, now is when the true contenders separate themselves from the pack and make their playoff push. Who will slip their way into a coveted Wild Card spot? Which team will snag that much-needed first-round bye? Whose stadiums will the rest of the respective conferences have to go through if they want to make it to the Big Apple?
We don't know. Sorry about that – but we interns do have opinions on who the best teams are in the League going into Week 10. The biggest leap this week: the Patriots, from #8 to #6, after their impressive victory against the Steelers.
Here are the interns that contributed to the pool this week:
Kevin Joyce, Producers Department, "Inside the NFL"
Tim Yingling, Producers Department
Ryan Boepple, Producers Department, "Thursday Night Football"
Kyle Toot, Producers Department, "NFL Turning Point"
Here are the Top 15 Teams in the NFL as we see them right now:
Kansas City Chiefs (9-0) Kansas City matches their franchise best start to a season. They head into their bye week before their titanic clash with Denver. (Yingling)
Denver Broncos (7-1) They should come out of the bye week healthy and galloping at an impressive pace. (Toot)
Seattle Seahawks (8-1) Love the way Seattle battled back from a 21-0 deficit without one of their big playmakers in Rice. (Toot)
Indianapolis Colts (6-2) They've beaten some very good teams along the way to a 6-2 mark at their halfway point. Now that they've passed the toughest part of their schedule with flying colors, the sky's the limit for Luck and what has undoubtedly become his group. (Joyce)
San Francisco 49ers (6-2) After starting the season 1-2, the Niners have reeled off five straight wins. That puts San Francisco in position for the first Wild Card spot as the playoff picture begins to take shape. (Yingling)
New England Patriots (7-2) That dominant offense of old emerged last week, unleashing 55 points and over 600 yards of offense on the Steelers. They're one of only five teams in the League to have both a top-10 scoring offense and defense. (Joyce)
New Orleans Saints (6-2) A tough loss to a good team doesn't mean there's anything to worry about in New Orleans. This team still has as good a shot as anybody to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. (Joyce)
Cincinnati Bengals (6-3) Cincinnati loses the heart of their defense, as Geno Atkins will miss the remainder of the season with an ACL tear. However, it's a team game, and this team has the talent and depth to overcome it. (Yingling)
Carolina Panthers (5-3) Carolina is quietly stacking up victories. They now sit one game behind the Saints for the division lead. (Yingling)
Detroit Lions (5-3) After two weeks of rest, the Lions will look to continue their (now even stronger) bid for the NFC North title against the rival Bears. (Joyce)
New York Jets (5-4) Two statement wins in the last three weeks over the #6 and #7 teams in these rankings puts the Jets in serious running for a Wild Card spot, somewhere almost no one thought they would be come this time of year. (Joyce)
Dallas Cowboys (5-4) Despite all the ups and downs the Cowboys have gone through this year, they maintain a solid lead in the division. (Joyce)
Chicago Bears (5-3) Josh McCown kept the ship afloat in Chicago. Now it's time for the return of Capt. Cutler, who will look to chart a course for the division title. (Yingling)
Green Bay Packers (5-3) The loss of Rodgers is tough, there's no way around it. But a favorable schedule and the faith the Packers have in Seneca Wallace and his backup, Scott Tolzien, should provide the Green Bay fanbase with the knowledge that this team's shot at a championship is still very much alive. (Joyce)
Cleveland Browns (4-5) The Browns have been in every game they've played, win or loss. This is a talented and scrappy squad, one still only 2 games back in the division, behind a team they've already beaten. (Joyce)

Luna Park is an amusement park at the base of Harbour Bridge on the North Sydney side. The creepy Luna Park Face is visible from Sydney Harbour and made us curious enough to cross the bridge and investigate. Luna Park is a nostalgic return to boardwalk amusement parks of the past.
After our visit we were interested to find that the original Luna Park was established in Glenelg, south of Adelaide, before it went out of business. It was moved to Sydney as part of an effort to develop the north shore of the newly constructed Harbour Bridge. We visited the original site in Glenelg earlier this year without realizing its history.

There is nothing wrong with wanting and having money. In fact, money is the indispensable currency in this world allowing you to exchange with others, so there is nothing wrong with wanting and having it. What we are recommending though is that you must first open your heart so that from that elevated state of heartfulness you can understand the infinite ways in which you can use money to improve not only your life but that of the many in this world. Many people who have become millionaires have not found happiness. This is because they have not considered the possibility of opening their hearts. They are completely focused on their minds without realizing that without the heart money cannot really go as far as it is meant to go. We want you to be completely abundant. This is why we are reminding you that while you are on your path towards the achievement of your goals, you must always keep your heart open so that you can listen to its instructions on how to be happy, truly happy, at both, the material and spiritual levels.


Senior year is here. Before you know it, you'll be slipping on your cap and gown, accepting your diploma, and celebrating four amazing years with your BFFs. Not sure if you're ready for life after college? You still have lots of time to make this the best year yet. Set yourself up for success by doing these four essential things during your senior year of college.
During the first few years of college, your class schedule is usually packed with courses you need for your major. But when you're a senior, you probably have at least a couple of spare time slots. Why fill them with snooze-worthy classes?
Instead, enroll in a course that takes you out of your comfort zone. Learn the basics of coding, or try performing arts on for size. You might not land on a new career path, but you'll definitely learn something new and have a more well-rounded perspective.
As a senior, you already have a solid squad. You grab dinner with your BFFs after class, go out with them every weekend, and offer laughs and support around the clock. But having an amazing crew doesn't mean you should stop putting yourself out there.
During your senior year, get strategic. Make friends with that super-ambitious girl at the top of your class or that guy who landed an internship at your dream company. Form deeper connections with professors. Start building out your network now, and you'll have great connections to draw on later.
In your last year of college, getting decent grades and squeezing in time with your crew might seem like all you can handle. Adding a job to the mix can sound like way too much. Without work experience, though, you might not truly know what you want to do after you graduate. Think of your college job as a key step in creating a life plan that makes you happy and your parents proud. Not sure where to start? Talk with friends, professors, or even your college's career services office to learn about internships or entry-level gigs that offer essential work experience.
When you're living your best life in college, it's easy to focus on having fun. Over the course of three years, your social media profiles might look like one long party. While there's nothing wrong with having a great time, remember that the content you post online could influence your future employers' hiring decisions. After all, they want to make sure you're a capable person who's an asset to their team.
Even if you hate the idea of censoring yourself, do a basic audit of your online life. Put your best foot forward with photos and content that make you look like a rock star to the general public. Save the rest for family, friends, and everyone else that makes the cut behind your privacy settings.
Your senior year is arguably the most important in your college career. Do it justice by adding these four essential tasks to your to-do list.
Meal plans are expensive, so many students have no choice but to handle grocery shopping and cooking on their own. But don't fret. It's possible to survive without a meal plan — even if it will be your first time purchasing food on your own and cooking it.
To master cooking on your own, you need some basic supplies. Pick up some pots and pans, a can opener, a cutting board, knives, measuring cups and spoons, a mixing bowl, a slotted spoon and spatula, and flatware. If your dorm or apartment doesn't have a microwave and toaster, bring those appliances.
Extras like a blender or juicer aren't essential, but they can help you add some healthy variety to your diet. Plus, smoothies are easy to grab in the morning if you're in a rush. Invest in some plastic food storage containers as well. This will help you store seconds and eliminate the need to wrap extras in foil or zip-close bags.
Keep in mind that if you have a small room or will be hand-washing dishes, it may be easier to only get enough bowls, plates, pots, and pans for one day of cooking. This will reduce clutter and force you to clean up after each meal rather than letting dishes pile up.
If you like coffee, a good coffee maker is essential. Coffee from cafes is expensive, and preparing your own brew at home is easy and a fraction of the cost. Plus, your coffee maker can also brew loose leaf tea.
Create a list of the groceries you need, and head to the store early in the morning or late at night to beat the crowds. Consider making trips to the store once per week and only picking up what you need for that week. This will eliminate clutter, and it will reduce the likelihood of food being wasted before you can eat it.
If you're on a budget, spices and veggies can take your meals to the next level. For example, you can prepare ramen noodles with some spices and squash, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes. Mix in some crunched-up tortilla chips and add a dollop of sour cream to turn soup or ramen from plain to impressive.
If you have the time, preparing future meals and freezing them can make cooking for yourself much easier. For example, instead of preparing a single helping of chicken and pasta, you can prepare enough for a few days and freeze the extras in plastic containers. You'll just need to grab the container from the fridge and microwave it.
This strategy is also good for smoothies. Prepare a large batch and store it in a pitcher. For breakfast a few days out of the week, you'll just need to pour a glass and pick out some fruit or a pastry to complete your meal.
Surviving without a meal plan may seem like a challenge, but it's a great opportunity to exercise your independence and save some money. Follow these tips, and you'll grow to love preparing your own meals every week.
It happens to the best of us. Exam week seems so far away, and there's all the time in the world to study — until suddenly there isn't. Cramming is now the only option. To make the most of your cramming sessions, make sure to avoid these three study habits.
You'll need to study your notes, of course, but you won't remember much by simply rereading them. Rereading helps with recognition but not recall. If you want to ace your exams, you'll need to use a different study method.
People remember information more easily when they process it on a deeper level. To do this, you can rewrite the material in a way that makes sense to you. You could also explain facts and concepts — in your own words — to a study partner. It may feel like you're spending more time than usual on each topic, but you'll remember far more this way than by skimming through your notes.
There's regular cramming, and then there's last-minute-panic cramming. If you've waited until the day of your exam to start studying, your anxiety will go through the roof. The more stressed you feel, the more difficult it is to remember anything. Another common mistake students make is staying up late cramming the night before. You might be able to pull it off, but you'll be sleep-deprived during the exam, and your performance will suffer.
Try to set aside a reasonable amount of time to cram for an exam. You'll need more study time for the more difficult exams or for the classes you're most behind in. Giving yourself one or two extra days to study (even if you really need another six days) can make the difference between passing or failing.
If your exam is only a day or two away, you may feel you have no choice but to study for eight hours straight. However, you won't retain much information this way. Most students can only study for 25 to 30 minutes before their concentration falters. If you have a limited amount of time to study, you want to use that time as efficiently as possible.
Break up a longer study session into smaller, multiple periods of 25 to 30 minutes. Take breaks of at least 15 minutes between each study period. Do something you enjoy on your break, such as grabbing a snack or going for a short walk. According to Dr. Marty Lobdell, a psychology professor, it's possible (with training) to extend your study-time endurance to an hour or even several hours. Unless you've already trained yourself, however, it's better to keep your cram sessions short and frequent.
Even though it's better to avoid cramming altogether, sometimes it happens anyway. The next time you find yourself short on time, make sure to set aside more study time for the most difficult classes, study your notes on a deeper level, and take regular breaks during your cram session.

Part of the SAGE Social Thinker series, this book serves as a concise and inviting introduction to the life and works of Erving Goffman, one of the most prominent social theorists in postwar sociology. Goffman's ideas continue to influence scholars in various fields and have also attracted many readers outside conventional academia. Goffman's overall research agenda was the exploration of what he termed the interaction order—that is, the micro social order that regulates the co-mingling of people in each other's immediate presence. He coined several new concepts (face-work, impression management, role distance, civil inattention, etc.) with which to grasp and understand the complexities and basic social restructuring of everyday life, many of which are now part of sociology's standard vocabulary.
The work of Erving Goffman has had an enormous impact throughoutthe social sciences. Yet his writings have not received thedetailed scrutiny which they deserve. This new book is the first comprehensive and accessible account ofErving Goffman's contributions, ranging in its scope from his veryearliest work right up to the projects upon which he was engaged atthe time of his death. Goffman's writings, Manning argues, are muchmore systematic and conceptually powerful than is ordinarilyacknowledged. The book thus offers a defence of Goffman's writingsas well as providing an introduction for those who have no prioracquaintance with Goffman's ideas.
Decades after his death, the figure of Erving Goffman (1922–82) continues to fascinate. Perhaps the best-known sociologist of the second half of the twentieth century, Goffman was an unquestionably significant thinker whose reputation extended well beyond his parent discipline. A host of concepts irrevocably linked to Goffman's name – such as 'presentation of self', 'total institutions', 'stigma', 'impression management' and 'passing' – are now staples in a wide range of academic discourses and are slipping into common usage. Goffman's writings uncover a previously unnoticed pattern and order in the minutiae of everyday interaction. Readers are often shocked when they recognize themselves in his shrewd analyses of errors, awkwardness and common predicaments. Greg Smith's book traces the emergence of Goffman as a sociological virtuoso, and offers a compact guide both to his sociology and to the criticisms and debates it has stimulated.
The Goffman Reader aims to bring the most complete collection of Erving Goffman's (1922-1982) writing and thinking as a sociologist. Among the most inventive, unique and individualistic of thinkers in American sociology, his works first appeared in the early 1950's at a time when a more formal, traditional sociology dominated the scene. In this collection, Goffman's work is arranged into four categories: the production of self, the confined self, the nature of social life, and the framing of experience. Through this arrangement, readers will not only be presented with Goffman's thinking in chronological order, but also with a framework of analysis that clearly introduces the social theoretical ideas by which Goffman shaped the direction of sociological thought through the late twentieth century.
Whatever else they may be doing, human beings are also and always expressing themselves whenever they are in the awareness of others. As such, the metaphor of life as theater - of people playing roles to audiences who review them and then coordinate further action - is an ancient idea that has been resurrected by social scientists as an organizing simile for the analysis and understanding of social life. The Drama of Social Life examines this dramaturgical approach to social life, bringing together the latest original work from leading contemporary dramaturgical thinkers across the social sciences. Thematically organized, it explores: • the work of classical and contemporary thinkers who have contributed most to this theoretical framework • the foundational concepts of the dramaturgical approach • a rich array of substantive areas of empirical investigation to which dramaturgy continues to contribute • directions for future dramaturgical thinking. An indispensable collection that updates and extends the dramaturgical framework, The Drama of Social Life will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, social psychology, performance studies, cultural studies, communication, film studies, and anthropology - and all those interested in the work of Goffman and symbolic interactionist theory and practice.

BBC releases teaser of 'Game Changer', Grand Theft Auto TV drama, amid Rockstar legal action threat
By Vinod Yalburgi
Updated September 4, 2015 10:04 BST
The BBC has finally released the much-awaited teaser trailer of 'Game Changer', a new dramatized documentary focusing on the real-world controversy surrounding the Grand Theft Auto series, particularly the third instalment of the franchise. The Game Changer will be a two-part TV movie series with the first part coming out on 15 September (UK) and the second proposed for a 2016 release in the UK.
Rockstar Games had clarified back in March regarding its non-involvement in the production of the 90-minute documentary, which features Daniel Radcliffe who plays Sam Houser (co-founder of GTA publisher Rockstar Games), and Bill Paxton of Aliens, Twister, and Titanic fame plays American lawyer Jack Thompson.
Houser takes charge as the leading revolutionary of the video game industry, while Thompson campaigns tirelessly against the teachings of violence and immorality imparted to players in the game. It is being dubbed as the "most extraordinary creative and controversial success stories of our time", reports Neowin, citing the BBC.
Owen Harris directs the movie riding on his success with popular UK dramas Black Mirror and Misfits, which were based on James Wood's script involving "court documents and interviews" with people associated with the case, according to Hollywood Reporter quoting the BBC.
The BBC is apparently pressing ahead with its move to broadcast The Gamechanger show, despite Rockstar's legal threat. The show will be telecast on BBC Two in the UK at 9pm on 15 September, but it is uncertain if the show will go live on the BBC's international services.
The BBC admitted in a recent press release that the movie "has not been authorized by the producers of Grand Theft Auto".

I have a Mongo database. I want to get all records in a range between 3 days ago and to days ago. Sounds as a common request.
I have not figured out how to make it using gui and tried to use native query but it immediately converts relative dates like "yesterday" to a fixed day like 05.01.2017.
As I cannot use js in native query and write something like "new Date()" is there any way to make relative dates possible.
I could be done with some simple convention where you replace some MetabaseDate.daysAgo(3) to "03.01.2017" before running a query.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks for creating such a great tool.

Silver Tsunami - How do you prepare? | Envision Global Leadership, Inc.
Silver Tsunami - How do you prepare?
How well do you pick future leaders? How full is your pipeline? How do you know who will be good?
How do you determine the right competencies?
What do you do once you have identified them?
How long should your development horizon be?
Current succession planning systems have some fairly predictable errors. This is primarily because most companies succession planning processes do not link to their performance management and appraisal processes. Additionally, leadership development processes typically do not link to either one, let alone both of them.
This lack of full integration, coupled with the change of success correlates that occurs from entry level roles to senior level roles, leads to small pools of available talent for the top roles. What has occurred is called Type II error, or the error of false exclusion. People who could make excellent senior leaders, with all the right competencies, of often excluded from development opportunities because they are being evaluated on the wrong criteria at lower level roles.
In order to prepare for the Silver Tsunami, you must have as pool that is broad and well developed. You can see more about the process in the pdf below.

First of all, sorry for my english ..
Someone I know wants to sell me this pill ..he says that it is a product of a company called "eurobio" and the drug is "ANAPALON" 10 milligrams ..
I search hundreds of sites in my country about that company and that drug and I didnt found anything ! I just want to be sure which product it is !!
One pill? Looks like ibuprofen.
Perhaps you should research things a little more buddy.
D.C. how did you identify it as that from the picture mate? Not arguing just interested.
I think DC is just providing a link to Nap information there ..
So do we know that is Oxymetholone?
Which is what the O.P. was enquiring.
yeah it's EuroBio Labs oxy's and the OP has the photo upside down - or you'd see the logo clearly. AKA bamboo Labs i think.
not sure if i can post this so if i can't please edit - but bamboo sell the raw hormone power and eurolabs make and sell the actual injectable or oral steroids out of the hormone base. same stuff tho. not particularly available in scotland tbh but available certainly in holland which is where i encountered them.

Garden Village is an unincorporated community in Pike County, Kentucky. It is located on the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy River, below the Peyton Branch and  southeast of Pikeville.

History
It was founded as Liberty upon the creation of the county in 1822, with the intention of the community becoming the seat of local governance. The site proved unpopular with local residents and Liberty was replaced by Pike (present-day Pikeville) the next year. Garden Village was established on the site by local landowner William Justice in 1945 and named after Garden City, New York, which he had once visited. It does not have a separate post office.
