Business energy specialist GDF SUEZ Energy UK has finalised an agreement to purchase all of the power generated at the proposed biomass-fired power plant project in Rotherham.
The Brite Partnership secured planning permission in 2010 for a biomass development at the Firth Rixson Ickles Works at Templeborough where land and disused buildings where purchased in March 2011. The plant will generate heat and power from carbon-neutral renewable wood pellet fuel.
Last month it was announced that Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CI) had acquired 100% of the project for £150m and has now created Templeborough Biomass Power Plant Limited to take the development forward.
The power purchase agreement (PPA) is one of two (the other at Snetterton in Norfolk) awarded to GDF SUEZ Energy UK, a dedicated business-to-business energy company in the UK that specialises in supplying energy to the industrial and commercial sector. Based in Leeds, it is a subsidiary of French energy giant, GDF Suez.
Expected to be commissioned in March 2017, the 39.3MW Rotherham plant will burn waste wood to generate 315GWh of electricity each year – all of which will be purchased by GDF SUEZ Energy UK.
Although prices have not been disclosed, the 15 year deals will see GDF SUEZ Energy UK buy the output at an index-linked rate, providing a market-reflective price for every kWh of electricity generated. To provide an assured return on investment, the PPAs also include a floor price, guaranteeing a minimum rate for the output.
PPAs are essential to the viability of any new renewable energy plant. Funders of these major infrastructure projects need concrete assurances that the money they invest will be repaid through the sale of energy to a reliable, experienced and credit-worthy offtaker.
GDF SUEZ Energy UK has built up a strong reputation as a leading player in the power purchasing arena, having secured agreements with several major renewable energy plants in recent years.
Paul Roberts, head of local portfolio management at GDF SUEZ Energy UK, said: "These new agreements are the first PPAs we have secured for biomass plants, having previously focused on wind power and energy-from-waste technologies. It demonstrates the flexibility of our PPAs, which present an attractive and secure proposition for any type of renewable energy plant."
Rúni Bro Róin, senior partner at CI, added: "We're pleased to have found the basis for cooperation with a strong and reputable partner like GDF SUEZ, which will be the sole purchaser of energy from both Snetterton and Templeborough."
GDF SUEZ Energy UK will also purchase all ROC and LEC certificates received by the two plants, which will help the energy supplier to meet its own sustainable sourcing commitments under the government's Renewables Obligation.

UPDATED Surprise: Showtime Just Announced PENNY DREADFUL: CITY OF ANGELS
Rejoice, PENNY DREADFUL fans.
By Scott Wampler Nov. 01, 2018
Here's what I know about Showtime's Victorian horror series, Penny Dreadful: people have been telling me to watch it for years, and people were very bummed when the show came to an end back in 2016. This brings me to a third thing I know: those very same people are probably gonna be very excited about this:
Sometimes what's dead doesn't always remain.#PennyDreadful returns to @Showtime with Penny Dreadful: City of Angels. Set in 1938 Los Angeles, this next chapter will explore a mix of the supernatural within a genuine historical backdrop infused with Mexican-American folklore. pic.twitter.com/2QzPnTPDTL
— Penny Dreadful (@SHO_Penny) November 1, 2018
That's Showtime announcing Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, which - as you can see above - will be set on an entirely different continent at an entirely different period in history. This time around, the action will unfold in 1930's Mexico, in a new narrative that'll blend the soapy chills of the original series with Mexican-American folklore. As of this writing, we know nothing further about who's writing it, who'll star in it, or when we might see it. Sorry about that. We'll probably know more in the near future.
In the meantime: this is quite the unexpected surprise! Like I said up top, I never got around to watching Penny Dreadful, but the raves I've heard from a number of highly trusted individuals lead me to believe that the above news will be met with no small amount of excitement.
Are you among the excited? Sound off in the comments below, and stay tuned for more on Penny Dreadful: City of Angels as further updates roll in. We're very curious to learn more about this (so much so, in fact, that I might finally get around to checking out the first series).
The Hollywood Reporter has some choice info and quotes from John Logan that help offer a better idea of what we can expect from the show.
For starters, it looks like real history will play a larger part:
"Penny Dreadful: City of Angels will have a social consciousness and historical awareness that we chose not to explore in the Penny Dreadful London storylines," Logan said. "We will now be grappling with specific historical and real-world political, religious, social and racial issues. In 1938, Los Angeles was facing some hard questions about its future and its soul. Our characters must do the same. There are no easy answers. There are only powerful questions and arresting moral challenges. As always in the world of Penny Dreadful, there are no heroes or villains in this world, only protagonists and antagonists; complicated and conflicted characters living on the fulcrum of moral choice."
So that's a bit different, a much more true-to-life show. But there will still be supernatural elements. Characters will be aligned with Santa Muerte while others will be hanging with the devil.
You can read more here, but for now, this is all very exciting, especially for fans who felt shorted by Penny Dreadful's brief three-season run.

Top 7 Notorious Banker Deaths…Walking With The Devil Has Consequences
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth…If you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits (fractional reserve lending/fiat money]."
What a chilling indictment of the banking system! Quite harsh, don't you think? Surely this kind of scurrilous accusation had to be uttered by some disgruntled socialist, or by a diehard Marxist anti-capitalist, or by an Occupy Wall Street anarchist protester. However, if you thought it was any one of these, you would be 100% dead wrong.
This little pearl of wisdom was expressed in the 1920s by none other than Sir Joseph Stamp, the second richest man in Britain and, as President of The Bank of England, the most powerful and influential banker in the world at that time.
In this stunning revelation of his own industry, Joseph Stamp dared to suggest that the world banking system of which he was such an integral part, was actually a dastardly criminal enterprise that was designed to rob the citizens of the participating nations of their hard earned wealth and security.
Thanks to the relatively new internet alternate media, the public awareness of the ongoing criminality of worldwide banking is finally creeping its way into mainstream consciousness. It is at last becoming public knowledge that nearly twenty major global banks, including Barclays, JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Lloyd's Banking Group, and a host of others, are being investigated for criminal conspiracy in the three most important areas of global finance – the FOREX (the $25 trillion per week foreign currency exchange), the multi-trillion dollar LIBOR interest rate market, and the international Gold Fix. Nothing serious here, just a strong assertion that the international banking cartel has been robbing us of trillions of dollars; and this didn't just happen last week, it has been going on for a very, very long time.
The conspiracies and crimes committed by this cheery group of global elitists makes the criminal machinations of the likes of the Mafia and the Mexican drug cartels seem benevolent by comparison. And just like with the Mafia and the drug lords south of the border, there will be inevitable human sacrifice. When serious criminal money is at stake, death and destruction are not far behind. Those are only some of the nasty karmic consequences associated with a mega-trillion dollar criminal enterprise. As the saying goes, "When you lie down with pigs, expect to get dirty." There have been a lot of dirty bankers dying here over the last several months. We referred to them in our last blog . They have been "throwing" themselves off bank towers from London to Hong Kong and getting inconveniently "suicided" by shooting themselves in the head over ten times with a nail gun (try doing that some time).
But this is not at all a new phenomenon. Key players in world banking and corporate finance have been dying untimely and exotic deaths for many decades. Some of these individuals were multi-billionaires and all of them were involved with a variety of nefarious financial activities. Listed below are our top seven banker deaths of the modern era:
1 Roberto Calvi – JUNE, 1982 Calvi, the chairman of Italy's second largest bank, Banco Ambrosiano, which went bankrupt in 1982, was closely tied to the Pope John Paul II and the Vatican banking scandals of the 1980s. Banco Ambrosiano collapsed in the summer of 1982 with losses approaching $1.5 US billion, much of which had been siphoned off via the Vatican Bank. Calvi found hanged from scaffolding beneath Blackfriars Bridge on the edge of London's financial district, The City. Calvi's clothing was stuffed with bricks and he was carrying over $15,000 of cash in three different currencies. Calvi was a member of illegal Italian Masonic lodge known as Propaganda Due (P2), known as a frati neri or black friars. This led to the suggestion that Calvi was murdered as a Masonic warning because of the symbolism associated with the words black friars.
2 Michele Sindona – March, 1986 Known as "The Shark," Sindona is alleged to have had ties with the Gambino family and had been a top tax lawyer and accountant with the top Italian real estate investment firm, Societa Generale Immobillari. Through his holding company, Fasco, he acquired controlling interest in a number of prominent Italian banks, and by 1969, had developed strong connections with the Vatican Bank and prominent Swiss banks, with which he was involved in large scale major currency speculation. The Shark was finally convicted on sixty-five counts of fraud and perjury in US courts and twenty-five years in Italian prison for conspiracy to commit murder. On March 18, 1986, he was poisoned with cyanide in his coffee at his cell in the prison, Voghera, while serving a life sentence for murder.
3 Amschel Rothschild – July, 1996 Amschel Rothschild, a direct heir to the Rothschild banking dynasty, reputed to own or secretly control a multi-trillion dollar fortune, was found hanged in his room at the Bristol Hotel in Paris. Previously, Amschel had split with his half brother, Lord Rothschild, and his cousin, Sir Evelyn Rothschild. Amschel was athletic and in excellent health, married and with a happy family that included three children. The billionaire investment banker's death, according to well placed European sources, was not suicide as the world press reported, but rather, murder. Rothschild had been strangled with the heavy cord of his own bath robe, one end of which was attached to a towel rack, as if to suggest that his violent death was self-inflicted. After photographing the body, one of the investigators gave the towel rack a slight tug and it fell easily out of the wall. The unpublished conclusion was that Rothschild was definitely murdered.
4 Edmond J. Safra – December, 1999 Multi-billionaire banker, Edmond J. Safra, died of asphyxiation in a locked, bunker like bathroom in a fire that engulfed his magnificent penthouse apartment in Monaco, atop a building housing the Republic National of New York. Safra, the prime stockholder of the bank, had just made final arrangements to sell his interests in the bank a few days previously. Safra, whose specialty was private banking for wealthy clients, was reputed to know "all the secrets of the financial planet." He was accused of laundering money for Panamanian dictator, Manuel Noriega, and was rumored to have had connections with the Iran Contra scandal. But Safra's death may have been directly associated with a secretive international financial empire, active in clandestine gold trading. Safra's banking and precious metals empire was founded and built primarily after the creation of the State of Israel, by Safra acting as a savvy money laundering expert for wealthy Sephardic Jews. Safra was allegedly an expert in gold smuggling and the use of gold in secret financing of covert operations, including assassinations, by intelligence agencies such as the CIA.
5 J. Clifford Baxter – January, 2002 A former top executive of scandal plagued Enron, Baxter was reputed to have shot himself in his Mercedes Benz, parked in a cul-de-sac near his Houston home. Baxter had already cashed in $35 million of his soon to be worthless Enron shares before the company collapsed and had received a subpoena from the Senate Government Affairs Subcommittee on Permanent Oversight and Investigation. The highest levels of the Bush administration were said to be implicated in the financial and political corruption involving Enron. If he had lived, Baxter's testimony could have shed major light on the very top of the Enron fraud.
6 Alex Widmer – December, 2008 Widmer, a prominent Swiss private banker, at Julius Baer Holding, was reportedly found dead in Zurich. Confusingly, his death was ascribed to both illness and suicide. Widmer's death came at a volatile time in Swiss banking. Swiss bank, UBS, had been investigated in a US tax evasion scandal and had reported $46 billion in write down losses. Baer had been accused of poaching high ranking bank officers from larger Swiss rival, UBS.
7 James McDonald – September, 2009 McDonald, prominent adviser to wealthy families and chief executive of investment management group, Rockefeller and Company, was found dead with a single gunshot wound in his car in Dartmouth, Massachusetts. Preliminary investigation indicated that it was an "apparent" suicide. McDonald was credited with helping to grow Rockefeller and Company, the New York based family business established by John D. Rockefeller in 1882, to manage that dynasty's assets, into a much broader investment management company, with nearly $30 billion in assets.
Playing the international bankster game does indeed have serious consequences, not only for the perpetrators but for the millions of citizens who fall victim to the unscrupulous market manipulations that have been carried out by the world's banking cartel. The boom and bust cycle of loose credit/tight credit engineered by the central banks is legendary. Add to this the massive illegal manipulations of currencies, interest rates, and precious metals markets, we find ourselves right on the verge of a world economic Armageddon. But it is not just the economy that is in danger. Lead by the IMF and World Bank, the secret banking alliance has declared war on a host of victimized nations' economies. Widespread social disintegration in places such as Venezuela, Syria, and Libya are just the beginning. Next up on the bankers' intervention menu is Ukraine. However, with Putin and Russia stepping forward boldly to confront the world banking cartel, this may prove to be a seminal event with a possible outcome of world war in the offing.
It is getting to the point that it very dangerous for the average citizen or investor to trust his wealth to the convoluted criminality that is international banking. Our advice is to remove as much as possible of your liquid assets from the clutches of the banksters. One of the best ways to do that, we feel, is to invest in gold and silver.

Rent to Own is a variety of vendor finance.
In Rent to Own, the seller helps the buyer by allowing the buyer to rent the house for a while, until the buyer builds up enough equity to qualify for a bank loan and own the house.
Rent to Own is a two phase contract made directly between a seller and a buyer.
The first phase is the Rent phase when the buyer is living in the house and is making the regular payments.
The second phase is the Own phase when the buyer has enough equity to qualify for a bank loan, which they use to cash out the contract and transfer the house into their name.
What questions do buyers ask?
You can move in immediately and start the rent phase once your home application form is checked out favorably, you pay the documentation fee, you sign the contract and make the up-front payment.
What do the payments go towards during the rent phase?
The up-front payment goes towards building equity. The ongoing payments are mainly rent payments, with some going towards building equity.
What are the payment amounts during the rent phase?
The payment amounts are higher than the market rent because they consist of not only rent payments, but also the to own payments.
The to own payments go to build equity and to pay house expenses such as Council and Water Rates and Home Insurance.
How much the to own payments will be depends on what you can afford and the time frame agreed for building equity.
How long does the rent phase last?
The rent phase lasts until the buyer has built up enough equity in the house to finance with a bank. Five years is a very rough guide.
Building equity can be achieved by making regular to own payments and by renovations.
In terms of payments, for some buyers it is to build up 10% of the pre-agreed price, for other buyers it is to build up 20% of the pre-agreed price. Self-employed buyers usually need to build up 20%, but if they are handy, can build up some of that 20% with renovations.
Can you speed up the rent phase?
Yes. You can save up extra if you receive a pay rise, you can reduce expenses by paying off a car loan or a personal loan, and can use the extra towards building equity.
If you renovate wisely, by building a carport or a pergola, by landscaping, by installing a new kitchen, by painting, etc., then you will be able to build equity by increasing the value of the house.
What do you do when you reach the to own phase?
Once enough home equity has been built up, you obtain finance from a bank. Using a mortgage broker is best. Because the purchase price is agreed and fixed up front, it is easy to work out how much you need to borrow. You will need good financials and a good credit rating for a loan.
What happens at the to own phase?
While you are in the rent phase, you are not recorded on the title as owner. During the rent phase, your interest in the property can be protected under the Contract, by living in the property and by registering a Caveat on the title of the property.
At the to own phase, the bank loan pays out the Contract and the title is transferred into your name.
Where do I find a house to buy with Rent to Own?
You need to keep an eye out for signs on properties, adverts in the local newspaper and on the internet. If you are a tenant and the landlord is interested in selling to you, you could ask the landlord if he or she would consider a Rent to Own.
What is the paperwork for a Rent to Own?
There are two different kinds of paperwork that can be used for a Rent to Own, depending on which State in Australia the property is in, and depending on the seller's tax position.
The paperwork starts with a Heads of Agreement, which the seller and buyer complete, which is then handed to the seller's property lawyer for Contract preparation.
Click here for a sample Heads of Agreement. Contact us for a more detailed version.
Click here for a list of property lawyers. Use a property lawyer who practices in the State where the property is situated.
A house is 'sold' as a Rent to Own at a price of $300,000.
What steps do I need to take in order to buy a house with Rent to Own?
Look on the web, on street signs, on flyers for houses which are advertised as 'Rent to Buy' or 'Rent to Own' or 'Vendor Finance available'. This website is an information website – it does not advertise Rent to Own houses.
Save up your up-front money – as a guide 3% of the price.
Choose a Rent to Own house, contact the advertiser and fill in their home application form.
Consult mortgage broker to look at your financial situation and to work out a plan to refinance with a bank down the track when there is enough equity in the house and your financials can support a bank loan.
You are chosen to buy the house and pay the documentation fee. You select a property lawyer to advise you on the Contract.
Complete the direct debit authority for the payments from your bank account.
Pay the up-front payment (less the documentation fee paid).
Collect the keys and move in.
Look after the house, pay the payments on time, and down the track refinance or sell.
Can an Option to Purchase be used to buy a house or a home unit?
Buying as you are renting a house or home unit means that a tenant holds an option to purchase their rental property.
Coupling an option to purchase with a lease has been used in commercial leases for many years.
In a recent decision: Le v Phan  NSWSC 632, the Supreme Court of NSW has upheld the validity of a combined option to purchase and a residential tenancy.
We will now review the decision and the form that the option to purchase should take when combined with a residential lease, to make a rent to buy transaction.
What form should an Option to Purchase take in rent to buy transaction?
Options to Purchase provide a pathway for residential tenants and residential property investors to control a house or home unit, initially without taking out a bank loan or paying a traditional deposit.
Over an agreed term, the tenant or investor, can either build up a deposit and obtain a bank loan to take title to the property, or sell the option at a profit, or relinquish the option.
An option to purchase (a call option) and a residential lease are entered into at the same time. That is why the transaction is commonly known as a Lease Option.
The residential lease is entered into at market rent, in the standard form prescribed by the Residential Tenancies Law.
The option to purchase (a separate document) specifies the option fee payable and how it is to be paid, the fixed purchase price payable and the option expiry date.
The amount of the option fee payable and the option expiry date are set by reference to the expected loan availability at the end of the option term. For example, if the tenant can expect to qualify for a loan of 90% of the price, then the option term will need to be sufficiently long for the option fees to be paid to amount to 10% of the price. As a fall-back, often there is provision to extend the term if the loan qualification becomes more difficult during the term. The term of the residential lease mirrors the option term.
The option fee is paid by instalments. Part of the option fee is paid on the entry of the option. The rest of the option fee is paid during the term, by instalments, usually when the rent is paid. For example, the rent might be $400 per week and the option fee might be $200 per week. And so, the total weekly payment might be $600 per week. The rider is that the weekly payments of $600 per week need to be affordable to the tenant or investor, as if affordability was assessed under responsible lending guidelines.
The price is a fixed price which is set when the option is granted.
The price represents 'full market value' of the property. The price will be higher than the cash price, because payment terms are offered. How much higher depends on prospects for capital growth and the term.
The option to purchase can be exercised at any time.
The title to the property remains in the name of the owner, and the existing property loan remains in place. If the option is exercised, then at the time when the price is paid, the property loan is repaid.
The tenant/buyer can protect their interest under the Lease Option by registering a Caveat over the title to the property.
Do the courts recognise Lease Options as valid?
In Le v Tran, Associate Justice Harrison of the Supreme Court of New South Wales upheld a Lease Option which took the above form.
The house was a standard 3 bedroom house. The other facts were somewhat unusual - the option fees payable were lump sums payable on certain dates; and the court's task was to determine the validity of the termination of the Lease Option, as opposed to enforcing the Lease Option.
And so the decision, which centred upon the tenant/grantee's default, the termination of the option and the lease, and orders for possession and payment of arrears of rent and option fees, is not relevant for our purposes.
What are the legal, licensing and stamp duty issues for Lease Options around Australia?
Lease Options are legal throughout Australia. Each State and Territory has their own standard form Residential Tenancy Agreement, but they are similar. Each State and Territory has their own laws for property options, which means that they can be considerably different.
The failure to use the standard form Residential Tenancy Agreement and to strictly comply with the property option laws can lead to the documents being invalid, and therefore legally unenforceable. It is therefore essential for these documents to be prepared by a lawyer / conveyancer.
In South Australia, the use of Lease Options is limited – they cannot be longer than 6 months, and the option payments are limited to 4 in number. No other State or Territory has this restriction.
In Victoria, Lease Options are liable for stamp duty as if they were a purchase, when they are entered into. No other State or Territory imposes stamp duty on entry of a Lease Option.
Entering into Lease Options is a real estate activity. If the Lease Option is for an owned property, as a one-off, then it is unlikely to be considered a real estate business activity – it is a private activity. But if a person engages in Lease Options as a business, then it needs to be done through a licensed real estate agent. Of course, the alternative to using a real estate agent is to obtain your own real estate licence!
Lease Options are not credit contracts. No credit is given in a Lease Option. Paying rent is not the same as paying interest. Therefore, an Australian Credit Licence is not required.
There is an interesting twist to this decision, which is that the grantor of the option, Mr Le, was not the registered owner of the property.
Mr Le had taken an option to purchase the property from the owner, Ms Phan. Mr Le's option was to purchase the property at a fixed price.
To pay the option fee, Mr Le agreed to pay Ms Phan's home loan instalments, as they fell due, together the land rates and water rates. He also paid for the home insurance.
This form of option is known as an 'Assumptive Option'.
Together with the Assumptive Option, Mr Le was given a residential lease of the property, with the right to sub-lease.
He was appointed the attorney of the owner (under a Power of Attorney) to deal with the property.
When an Assumptive Option and an Option for Purchase are used together, they are known as a 'Sandwich Lease Option". Of course they are accompanied by a lease and a sub-lease.
Their attraction lies in the fact that someone in Mr Tran's position can put together a Sandwich Lease Option to control the property without needing to expend any of their own money - figuratively, they can 'Buy a house for $1"!
Why is no financial outlay necessary? The reason is that payments made by the tenant/grantee of the Option to Purchase exceed the property loan and other payments that need to be made under the Assumptive Option.
Sandwich Lease Options are not for beginners. It is recommended that Options to Purchase be mastered first, and then the more difficult Assumptive Options can follow.

Norton Cancer Institute gains national attention
Norton Healthcare / News / Services / Cancer / Norton Cancer Institute gains national attention
Findings from two blood cancer clinical trials published.
Norton Cancer Institute is making a mark as an authority in treating blood cancers. Findings from two important clinical trials have been published in prestigious medical journals.
In December 2015, the findings of a trial on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) were published in The New England Journal of Medicine. The study compared how well two medications, ibrutinib and chlorambucil, worked in people over age 65 with CLL or small lymphocytic lymphoma. The conclusion was that ibrutinib is superior in previously untreated patients in survival rates, response to the medication and in improved bloodwork numbers.
In January 2016, The Lancet published results of a trial to determine how well daratumumab, a monoclonal antibody, worked in patients with multiple myeloma. While the study is ongoing, the results thus far show promise for this type of therapy for patients who have previously gone through many treatments for multiple myeloma and those whose disease keeps coming back. Daratumumab is now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Learn more about clinical trials at Norton Cancer Institute.
Don A. Stevens, M.D., medical oncologist and co-founder of Norton Cancer Institute, was the local principal investigator for these studies.
"It's important to have these treatment options for our patients," Dr. Stevens said. "The fact that our patients have been included in two very important medical publications is a testimony to our team's effort and to our patients and their families."
"Dr. Stevens has developed one of the foremost blood cancer programs in the nation and serves as a tremendous resource for all patients who have cancer," said Joseph M. Flynn, D.O., MPH, executive director and physician-in-chief, Norton Cancer Institute. "Oncology is a rapidly changing discipline. It is clear that the only way we are going to be able to defeat cancer is to develop novel, exciting and targeted cancer therapies."

September 1st: 10 years of writing
By Niel
In Advice, Writing
I've always loved writing, ever since I was a little boy. For years it was comic strips, then it was TV and film scripts, and in between I dabbled with writing a book, but I never got much further than a chapter or three. It always seemed like too big a task. I'd write a few pages, stop to read it, then edit it, over and over again. Eventually, I'd give up, put the project to one side and do something more manageable.
Back in the summer of 2009 I was in the highlands of Scotland, spending time at my Aunt and Uncle's home in the picturesque countryside close to Balmoral Castle. I'd picked up Stephen King's book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, and was eagerly reading it, trying to learn from the Master's experience. It's an invaluable resource for any writer, with plenty of things to consider, but the main lesson from that book is a simple one: Read every day, write every day.
A few months earlier, I'd started writing a book, another failed attempt that didn't get further than Chapter Three. It was about a young boy who could travel in time through gravestones.
By the end of the holiday I'd finished King's book. I came home and vowed to put into action what I'd learned on holiday. Neatly, it was the start of September, so I began to write every day, as much as I could. I picked up the barely-started time-travel novel and began to write, resisting the temptation to stop and go back over what I'd written.
And it worked! I got further than I ever had before! And I kept going until, by the 21st of November I'd completed the first draft of Yard Boy (later renamed Sorrowline). I'd managed to average just under 800 words per day, and I'd only failed to write anything at all on three days. On Writing had shown me how to complete a book.
Of course the book needed lots of editing before it was any good, but at least I had something to edit. I knew what my book was about because I'd actually finished it.
Eventually, after several rewrites, in 2011 Sorrowline won a Northern Writers Award, which helped me to find an agent, who managed to get me a two-book deal for Sorrowline and its sequel. None of this would have happened if I hadn't read (and chosen to follow) the advice in On Writing.
Ten years later, I've written ten books and counting. Writing a book is possible, it just takes focus, dedication and perseverance.
Read every day, write every day. It really is that simple.
I've always loved writing, ever since I was a little boy. For years it was comic strips, then it was TV and film scripts, and in between I'd dabbled with writing a book, but I never got much further than a chapter or three. It always seemed like too big a task. I'd write a chapter, stop to read over it, then edit it, over and over again. Eventually, I'd give up, put the project to one side and do something more manageable.
Back in the summer of 2009 I was in the highlands of Scotland, spending time at my Aunt and Uncle's home in the picturesque surroundings close to Balmoral Castle. I'd picked up Stephen King's book, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, and was eagerly reading it, trying to learn from the Master's experience. It's an invaluable recourse for any writer, with plenty of things to consider, but the main lesson from that book is a simple one: Read every day, write every day.
A few months earlier, I'd started writing a book, another failed attempt to get further than Chapter Three. It was about a young boy who could travel in time through gravestones.
Plus Four Years
In Highlights, Writing
It's hard to believe it's been four years since my first book came out. Sorrowline was published in the UK on the 3rd of January 2013, following later in other countries around the world. It's been an exciting four years; I've visited schools, libraries and festivals across Europe, and been shortlisted for several book awards.
The sequel to Sorrowline – Timesmith – came out over two years ago, so where is the third in the series? That's a very good question, one I hope to answer in the next few days. Stay tuned.
Publication T-Plus 3 Years
It's three years to the day since Sorrowline came out and I became an official author. In some ways it feel like a long time ago, in other it's just like yesterday.
I can clearly remember the excitement and anticipation in the run up to publication, I can still recall everything we did on that day. I even had a proper official launch event in a bookshop, like a real author does! It was a giddy time. Then, in the weeks that followed excitement gave way to an odd mix of satisfaction and disappointment. The world didn't stop, more books came out, people moved on, as they should, and life returned to normal.
But with the advantage of three-year's hindsight I can appreciate the moment more now than I did at the time. Fear and anxiety got in the way (as it often does) stopping me really enjoying the sense of achievement that goes with publication. But I was already focused on the next book, trying to cement my career as a writer. The last thing I wanted was this to be just a one-off. Three year later I have two books in the wild and two more completed and in the long sausage-making machine that leads to publication. It's a long game all right. But it's nice to look back down the road on days like this and appreciate the adventure, and where it's taken me.
Sorrowline featured in Guardian Top 10 list
In Events/News
I was thrilled to read that my first novel, Sorrowline, was mentioned in Rhian Ivory's top 10 books set in the past and the present article for the Guardian. Here's what Rhian said:
I love and am quite jealous of the unique idea at the heart of this book: you can travel through Sorrowlines, the channels that connect every gravestone with the date of the person's death. Why didn't I think of this first? This beautiful and sensitive way to explore time travel takes Jack, the protagonist, back to 1940s war-torn London, with his then-teenage grandfather, Davey. However Jack's time travelling hasn't gone unnoticed, there are dark forces lurking in the wings, the Dustmen. I read this book to my 11 and eight year old and we were all completely hooked by the unique concept, the strong characters and the fast-paced plot. Thank goodness it is part of a trilogy.
Rhian is also an author and has a new book out called The Boy Who Drew the Future.
Sorrowline Brazil unwrapping
In Video, Writing
This happened today!
Go Brazil!
Some people love football. They love everything about it! The highs the lows, the… er, goals. People who love the game enthuse about their favourite teams, arrange their entire lives around watching it on the TV, debate it with fellow fans. They're obsessed, passionate supporters.
Then there's me.
Hate is a strong word I rarely use, and I wouldn't go so far as to use it against football. But my interest in it runs to a big fat zero. Yes, I was one of those guys waiting to be picked for the school kick-about. Yes, I'm short sighted and could never kick the ball in the right direction. Yes, I'm not very good at football, all right! I've had good reasons to dislike it from an early age.
But right now football is pretty hard to avoid. There's some sort of competition going on in Brazil that seems to bring out the flag-waving nutter in the nicest of people. But it's not the only thing to get excited about in that part of the world: Sorrowline is soon to be published in Brazil, and here's the cover!
It's using some of the elements from the UK cover by James Fraser but with a new twist. It's interesting how each new territory has their own take on the cover. Here's a comparison of the original UK version, then Germany, Thailand and Brazil. Even the title is different! I think my favourite is still the UK one, with the German comic-book approach coming a very close second.
So if you're like me and not the biggest fan of the beautiful game then there is an alternative: spend the summer learning a new language! Might I suggest German, Thai or Brazilian Portuguese?
When is the Movie coming out?
In Opinion, Writing
Since I became an author there are some questions that have come up again and again. They're often to do with the writing process, how and when I write, where the ideas come from, how I got published, that sort of thing. But there's one question that has nothing to do with creating books at all: "When is the movie coming out?"
I'd like to think this is a compliment on my visual writing style, or maybe it's to do with the fast action scenes or Sorrowline's big climax that would probably translate quite well into a film. But I think the question has more to do with the general expectation for books today than with my personal writing adventure. We're so used to modern children's novels being turned into huge blockbuster franchises that it seems like the expected – the only – path they can take: write a children's novel (preferably a series of novels), sell the movie rights, make a fortune, become momentarily famous, then step aside for the next big thing. Franchises like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and the Chronicles of Narnia spring immediately to mind but this is hardly a new phenomenon, it dates back to the early days of cinema. Disney and most other studios have been at it for years! So the expectation that this is the norm is understandable.
If I'm honest I've hoped for this too, as I'm sure almost all authors do. Yes, a book is a self-contained world and it doesn't need to be made into a movie to exist, but movies, even bad ones, bring the books they're based on to a much wider audience. It's basic economics: an author's career is much more secure if there's a movie or two based on their work. It can allow an author to keep doing the thing they love to do: write. And that's not a bad thing, is it?
But the movie world is a notoriously fickle beast and many books are optioned by production companies and studios but never get much further than that. They sit on a shelf waiting for the right conditions to blossom. I've had this happen to me with an animation TV series I developed a few years ago. I sold the option to a Canadian production company, we negotiated a contract and I was to be Executive Producer and Story Editor! It all sounded too good to be true! And it was. The option ran for three years. In that time we had a few meetings, we did a bit of development work, but not enough to really get things moving. The option expired and that was that. It happens every day. But not to me. This was a potentially life-changing moment! We'd even started making plans to move to Toronto for the duration of the production! So when it almost happened again with Sorrowline I was a little bit more cautious – but it's hard to keep my excitement in check!
Interest in the film rights came over a year before publication, from a Hollywood production company who had a track record in making films that I'd actually heard of! They'd even handled a few children's book adaptations before! So when they asked to meet I'll admit I forgot all of the pain I'd gone through with the TV option and jumped on a train to London. My literary agent, Juliet Mushens, had set the meeting up with the studio exec who insisted on a mid-morning breakfast at Claridges. I'm not sure if this was designed to intimidate or impress me but, as a northerner and a new writer it managed to do a bit of both.
We met, we ate breakfast, we talked about the movie(s), about the huge scale of them, and how they wanted me to be at the heart of them! Oh, and would I like to write the screenplay? How soon can you start? You can imagine how hard it was to keep my feet on the ground. Throughout the meeting I kept looking up at the beautiful Medusa chandelier directly above our table and thinking how odd and interesting it was. It pretty much summed up the whole meeting.
Over two years later and I've yet to write the screenplay and we've yet to sign a deal. All the urgency of the first meeting has fizzled out but we still hear from the production company from time to time. They're still interested, they say. They still love the concept and want to make a movie. After all, this is Hollywood, where no one ever says NO, but rarely says YES!
There's been other interest too, for TV rights, but for now I'm happy to put my energy into my third book. I'm enjoying the writing process without the worry of what to wear to the première. That said, if anyone wants to make a movie or two and has a big bucket of cash to burn do feel free to call.
Thailand publication
In Events/News, Video, Writing
Hot on the heals of the German edition of Sorrowline comes the Thailand publication by Class Act Publishing!
Research – Rouland and the Paladin
In Research, Writing
This post is the first in an occasional series on the research and inspiration for some of the characters in Sorrowline and Timemith. I wanted a lot of the things in my stories to feel real, as if they might have once existed, and I found inspiration in many myths, legends and folk tales. So let's begin with Rouland – the menacing figure at the heart of Sorrowline.
Rouland was inspired by the Frankish military leader, Roland, immortalised in the historic French poem, The Song of Roland. The figure has been romanticised in many French texts in a similar way to how King Arthur has been treated in the UK; legend obscures fact until nothing else remains. I've always been fascinated by Arthurian legend, especially with the idea of his loyal Knights of the round Table. There are parallels between Arthurian legend and the French stories, collectively known as The Matter of France. Like Arthur, Rouland was also one of a group of powerful knights. The paladins, sometimes known as the Twelve Peers, were the foremost warriors of Charlemagne's court.
I loved the idea of twelve knights fiercely loyal to their leader. So, with a lot of liberal creative licence and no regard for historical accuracy, I took Roland and the Paladins and turned them into Rouland de la Mare and his Paladin. Rouland became a great statesman and scientist who had uncovered many scientific secrets. His army of Paladin were hand-picked to be his loyal bodyguards. He chose their number from the dead, resurrecting them into a state between life and death – the OnceDead. And, in a deliberate change to the history of both Arthurian and French legends, I made them all women. The Paladin represent Rouland's greatest work, a subtle mix of science and magic.
The Paladin's individual names were also inspired by members of the historical Paladins. The outcast Eloise de Montauban took her name in part from the Paladin, Renaud de Montauban. Rouland's closest ally, the Captain of the Paladin, Alda de Vienne, took her name from Olivier de Vienne, Roland's closest friend, advisor, and confidant. Even Rouland's sword, Durendal, which features heavily in Timesmith, is based on the legend.
There are other connections which I won't mention here in case you've not read Sorrowline (WHY NOT??) but I'm sure those who are familiar with the source material might spot them.

The house on No. 6, Lane 7, Qingtian Street initially was one of the residential houses built by a housing cooperation group of Japanese professors. It was designed and built by Professor Masashi Adachi, and was completed in 1931. In 1945 the house became the residence of Professor Ma, who was among one of the several professors that took over National Taiwan University. Since 1945 up until 2007, the house had been home to the Mas. On May 2nd, 2006, the house was officially designated a Municipal Relics site through a Taipei Municipal Government Declaration.

The Emerson String Quartet has recorded exclusively for Deutsche Grammophon for many years. But for whatever reason, they decided to make a change. They have recently started a new association with Sony. One of the first projects for Sony is a set of the Mozart Prussian Quartets. In this video members of the Emerson talk about the character of the music. But make no mistake about it. Whatever the label the Emerson String Quartet remains incomparable.


Throughout history, believers have had this heart for the lost. John Knox, for example, reflected Paul's sorrow for his people when he said, "O God! Give me Scotland or I die!"

I've lived in Atlanta for almost 8 years and I've never known about the Atlanta Center for Holistic & Integrative Medicine (ACHIM) but boy am I glad I did! For the last 4 years, ever since I stopped teaching full time I haven't had medical insurance..something I'm not ashamed to admit because I found a great replacement–TAKING CARE OF MYSELF. When I was working full time, I always seemed to find myself at the doctor's office and it always frustrated me.
You pay the co-pay for the visit, wait FOREVER to be called, wait FOREVER to be seen and then spend 10 minutes explaining what's wrong. At the end of 90% of my appointments, the doctor would give me an unclear solution to the problem along with a prescription.
Surprisingly, I haven't had any health issues since I quit my 9-5..imagine that! I went from monthly doctor's visits to ZERO. I like to attribute that to my peace of mind.
Anyway, this year I'm turning 30 so I decided it was time for a full health review BUT I didn't want to go to a traditional doctor. I've visited the Chinese Medical Center a few times (love it!) but they don't do blood work so I needed an alternative. After a quick google search, I found ACHIM! What I love most about them is they combine Eastern and Western medicine so it's the best of both worlds! They do meridian testing, acupuncture and herbal tea/supplement treatments as well as traditional lab work and exams.
Since I wanted to know everything I could about my current health, I got the works! 8 total blood vials drawn (ouch!) but it was worth it to enter 30 with a clean bill of health. The most shocking thing I found out was that I was extremely stressed. Although I don't "fee" stressed, apparently my body has been feeling it. This is what led to my "Less Stress, More Success" Mindset Monday chat (read more here). I was shocked to find out that 90% of all diseases, ailments and illnesses are stress related AND a study has shown that a bad job is more stressful than unemployment! I wrote a whole blog about it, click here to check it out.
The most interesting info I found out was my blood type. I knew that there was a specific diet I should be following based on my type, but until yesterday I had no idea what mine was. Now I know I'm an O positive and it's revealed so much! You know I love self-awareness so I'm always looking for new ways to explore mySELF. A quick google search revealed SO much..not just the ideal diet, but personality traits and so much more! If you know your blood type, click here to reveal a few things about yourself.
Remember, your health is your wealth and it's definitely worth investing in!

'I Never Ever Seen Such A Vindictive Chief Minister Of AP': TDP Supremo Chandrababu Naidu
Dr. Shelly Ahmed
When #KhabarLive asked the Telugu Desam Party supremo to spare some time for our questions, his tricky but most interesting answers, political twists and his laughs and much more. He agreed to give us some time during his hectic tour in phases. We completed the entire interview in a week days tour along with his convoy.
Here are edited excerpts:
Question: You just lost a senior leader, former Speaker Kodela Sivaprasad, to suicide. Was his death avertable?
Answer: We are paying a price for democracy. I have been in politics for the past 40 years. I was Chief Minister for 14 years and opposition leader for 11. This is the first time I have come across such a vindictive chief minister. The Jagan Mohan Reddy government has attacked opposition leaders relentlessly, using its television channel and newspaper to write negative articles defaming them, humiliating them on Twitter and finally booking a series of cases against them based on small incidents from the past. The victims are shocked; they are living in fear.
The police slapped 19 cases on Kodela, including one alleging he stole furniture from the Assembly and displayed it at his son's showroom. He was booked under Sections 409 [criminal breach of trust by a public servant] and 414 [assisting in concealment of stolen property] of the Indian Penal Code. Anyone who has been in politics for a while knows that MLAs, MPs and ministers are routinely given government furniture they can be asked to return any time. In this case, Kodela had written a letter on June 7th about taking temporary possession of the furniture. The Assembly did not acknowledge the letter. The case very badly damaged his image and labelled him a thief. We tried to console him and assure him we would fight it out.
The government could have shown some repentance after Kodela's suicide. Instead, they have defamed his family and spread rumours that his son had humiliated him the previous day. We had to produce evidence that Kodela's son was in Kenya at the time.
Several TDP leaders joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for 'protection'. How do you explain this exodus?
Jagan Mohan Reddy is a master of criminal conspiracy. Under the new regime, Adinarayana Reddy [a three-time MLA from the Jammalamadugu Assembly constituency in Kadapa between 2004 and 2019, he had defected from the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) to the TDP] started getting death threats. He feared for his life and decided to quit and join the BJP. In the same way, Gonuguntla Suryanarayana, ex-MLA from Dharmavaram, paid some money to those threatening him but when even that didn't work, he joined the BJP. Former Minister Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, too, has been booked in a flimsy land dispute case over just 2.4 acres and now this man—a bold, firm leader—is afraid. The case against former state planning board Vice-Chairman C Kutumba Rao is another example of harassment. A thorough professional, he stands accused of grabbing five acres under the purview of the Urban Land Ceiling Act. In fact, the land had been given to the Railways by Rao's family but as no compensation was paid, they filed a case and the Supreme Court recently issued a status quo order.

The government somehow wants to paint TDP leaders as criminals and the likes of Sujana Chowdary [a businessman and TDP Rajya Sabha MP who recently defected to the BJP], former whip Chintamaneni Prabhakar [he has been arrested and faces several criminal cases, including some under the SC/ST Atrocities Act] and ex-MLA from Gurajala Yarapathineni Srinivasa Rao [booked for illegal limestone mining] are feeling cornered. When I had called for the Chalo Atmakur rally to bring to attention the YSRCP's attacks on and eviction of TDP workers in parts of Guntur district, one of our MLAs, Acham Naidu, was not allowed to visit me at home where I was under house arrest. He was paraded around town, taken from one police station to another to another.
You are locked in a constant battle with the government. Have you had the time to introspect after the TDP's worst performance in an Assembly election?
It was an unexpected upset, yes, and we have been reviewing poll data and feedback from the ground. The YSRCP has won by fluke. There are two main reasons: false propaganda and fake news against the TDP and a sentiment among a section of people that if they gave Jagan a chance, he might do a better job. There was no anti-incumbency; people are aware of the development projects and the welfare schemes championed by our government. No one blames our policies.
This government won't last its term. Jagan Mohan Reddy is not an administrator or an organiser. He has gone to the people one time and built his image on that alone. Already, he has become unpopular because of his extreme anti-development stance. He has done irreparable damage by reversing all the work that needs to be done to build a new state. Some leaders may be inefficient, some may be corrupt, some arrogant. He is worse. Let's not forget that this is a man who was banished by his own father, when he was Chief Minister, to Bangalore.
You have said your successor wants to decimate your legacy and prove himself a bigger leader.
He cannot overlook my legacy. He wants to destroy Amaravathi, for which history will hold him guilty. It is a self-financing project that, had he implemented, would have brought a lot of revenue to the state. The land monetisation in the capital would have reached a minimum of Rs 1 lakh crore. And what has he done? He has destroyed the reputation of Andhra Pradesh. You need long-term vision for problem-solving. It is because of my works that every reservoir in the state is full of water today after the rains. People may not always realise what a government has done for them, but these development projects speak for themselves.
"This government won't last its term. Jagan Mohan Reddy is not an administrator or an organiser. He has gone to the people one time and built his image on that alone. Already, he has become unpopular because of his extreme anti-development stance".

Looking back, would you have done anything differently in the past five years?
I developed Hyderabad airport over 5,000 acres of land. I built a 165-km, eight-lane outer ring road. I dreamt up HITEC city, the best knowledge economy in the country today, from nothing. Today, Hyderabad is ranked the most liveable city in India. I wanted to replicate the success of Hyderabad and build a greenfield city in Andhra Pradesh. It is easy for K Chandrasekhara Rao [KCR] to say Amaravati is dead investment. Had I thought Hyderabad was dead investment, he wouldn't be so happy now, would he? Whenever I land at the Hyderabad airport, I have the satisfaction that I initiated this engine of growth.
People are unable to understand me. First, like Hyderabad in Telangana and Bangalore for Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh needs one big city to showcase itself to the world. Second, by completing Polavaram and the linking of the rivers, we could have erased most of the problems of the state. The new government has not done even one unit of concrete—all the irrigation projects are doomed.
Jagan says he wants to bring back his father's golden rule. The 2019 election may be a throwback to 2004, when the Congress swept the combined state of Andhra Pradesh in the Assembly elections after YS Rajasekhara Reddy's padayatra. But do you see other similarities between father and son?
Rajasekhara Reddy was a shrewd politician and a practical man. We were close friends between 1978 and 1983, we moved in the same circles. After he became Chief Minister, he did take some decisions to show me in poor light. But he realised the state needed to attract investments. He realised if he set out to reverse my actions, the state would suffer. Jagan is no match for his father.
I'll give you an example of Rajasekhara Reddy's political acumen. He owned over a thousand acres of unregistered land and when I produced the documents showing his father had purchased them, he got away by making one simple argument. "My father is an innocent," he said. "He did not study the rules. But now the family wants to give it back to the government." Not only did he effortlessly surrender the land as part of his Bhoodan Yagyam, but he also gave people across the state four months to do the same, amending the law for this specific purpose.
"As Chief Minister of united Andhra Pradesh, I went to Delhi to meet Bill Gates for the first time. He refused to meet at first but eventually gave me 10 minutes. He ended up spending 45 minutes with me. We made Microsoft happen in Hyderabad. That is networking"
Jagan Mohan Reddy does not have a keen understanding of politics. The man is completely different from anyone I have encountered. I am unable to understand him and his motives. How can you cancel all power purchase agreements, bring works to a standstill in the midst of a recession and send all the wrong signals to investors? Andhra Pradesh is considered far away and there are few direct flights to Vijayawada. Logistics is a problem. I was able to mobilise investment with great difficulty. The rule of thumb is industrialists, especially in the IT sector, will never give you money easily.

As Chief Minister of united Andhra Pradesh, I went to Delhi to meet Bill Gates for the first time. He refused to meet at first but eventually gave me 10 minutes. He ended up spending 45 minutes with me. We made Microsoft happen in Hyderabad. That is networking. Recently, when Shiv Nadar came to Andhra Pradesh, I personally saw him off at the airport. Because there were 20,000 jobs he was interested in creating in the capital region.
Let me tell you the story of how I brought the Indian School of Business to Hyderabad. I saw a news item that said they wanted to launch in India, but the McKinsey chief told me Hyderabad was nowhere on the agenda. I invited them. I sent my ministers to the airport to receive them. I welcomed them with beautiful bouquets and shawls, served breakfast, then made a presentation. I told them, wherever you go, what they offer you I will make it plus one. They went to Tamil Nadu and they went to Bangalore. They could not even secure an appointment with the Chief Minister. They went to Maharashtra and found reservations for locals to be a hurdle. This is how I got institution after institution to set up centres in Hyderabad. Under my watch, the state came to be ranked the first in ease of doing business. Under a chief minister with a negative attitude, there is a worry that some of the big-ticket investments may no longer come to Andhra Pradesh.
The TDP has come to be regarded as a party of businessmen. Do you think you missed out on promoting ground-level leadership?
It is true a party needs not just corporate politicians, but also intellectuals and ground leaders. But even they find a reason to jump ship at an opportune time. I built KCR. He was a close follower of mine. In 1999, when we won the election and I had to choose two Velamas to be part of my Cabinet to maintain sociopolitical balance, I chose former CBI Director K Vijayarama Rao and Karanam Ramachandra Rao from Medak. KCR felt slighted and he started the Telangana agitation because of this.
Now I have to rebuild the TDP into a party of the future with educated youngsters who are responsible to society.
What is your equation with the BJP?
We differ only on one issue: the development of the state. Because Andhra Pradesh was denied special status and because of the sentiment of the people, our alliance didn't work out. Beyond that, I did not have any problems with the BJP. Right now, my priority is to protect the rights of the people and to put Andhra Pradesh back on track. #KhabarLive

Halloween isn't the only thing happening in October; it's also National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM). Launched in 2003, NCSAM is a month-long effort to educate the public about the importance of security awareness, and the genuine threats happening online.
Created by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Cybersecurity Alliance, NCSAM is essential, because there are a lot of digital risks out there.
With the continuing trend of Russian hackers, kids with laptops who are smart enough to hack Tesla, and attacks like those that leave Target scrambling, it's good practice to be prepared, and know how to defend yourself.
In recognition of the month, we'll be offering some cyber security awareness tips and tricks as to what you can do to check your systems or adjust your processes even if you're not great with technology.
Cybersecurity is something we all can get behind because frankly, knowing there are people out there who can hack the little camera on your laptop is quite frightening.
Let's just be realistic, if a beautiful woman or extremely attractive man with no mutual friends, who also happens to look like a model on some faraway beach wants to be your friend on Facebook, it's likely a bot. A bot that wants to hack into your account with the goal of selling your friends knock off Ray Ban sunglasses. If you're going to add people on social media at least have some tangible connection to them.
Ransomware is a real (and really annoying) threat. Ransomware will break into your network through an innocuous back door and then once it has access to your information, lock you out until you agree to the ransom; which can cost you thousands of dollars with no guarantee of recovering your data.
Put passwords on your devices. And not 000000, either. (Kanye, we're looking at you.) If you leave your phone or laptop easily accessible on a table, who knows what valuable and personal information they can find.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an encryption tunnel between you and your online behavior. A VPN hides your identity and location, and your information is encrypted.
Websites with an SSL Certificate, if the website has a https:// URL, encrypts data coming and going to the site. Anything without the https:// risks the chance of getting compromised. Don't give websites without an https:// any personal information including online shopping.
If you're working at a coffee shop or at a cafe, you're on a public Wi-Fi network. Whatever you're free to do, so is someone else. Don't leave yourself open to hackers while shopping online using an unsecured Wi-Fi network (unless you're using a VPN).

The Official City of Guelph Website
Guelph has so much to offer! Here is a list of my favourite reasons to call Guelph home!
Guelph's Vibrant Cultural, Art and Social scene are second to none
Whatever your interest or passion, Guelph has you covered. Guelph supports the arts with our very own Art Festival called 'Art in the Streets' which transforms the downtown core into a massive outdoor art gallery! Wanting to take in a show or a concert you can visit our incredible River Run Centre, Guelph Youth Music Centre or Guelph Little Theatre! Our festivals include the highly anticipated Hillside Festival drawing people far and wide across North America to capture new and seasoned music artists and be part of a community. The Guelph Jazz Festival which is a full weekend of incredible jazz musicians and creators. If dance is your passion we have the Guelph Contemporary Dance Festival. Like to read and write? The Eden Mills Writer's Festival celebrates Canadian authors and includes author readings to very enthusiastic crowds. A Documentary Film festival at various culturally rich venues including our famous Bookshelf Cinema. Our art scene is backed by so many beautiful galleries including the Art Gallery of Guelph (AGOG), the Boarding House Gallery (BHG), the Renann Isaacs contemporary art gallery, as well as the Kloepfer Gallery. The list is impressive and continues to grow year after year!
Guelph's Parks and Trails are Extraordinary
We have Exhibition Park, Goldie Mill Park, Riverside Park, Guelph Lake Conservation Area, University of Guelph Arboretum … and much more! Riverside is one of the more popular parks that hosts many fun events for the entire family including Ribfest, Sparkles in the Park, Canada Day fireworks, Rubber Duck Race to raise money for local charities, Guelph Multicultural Festival … they even have a beautiful ol' fashion Merry Go Round in tip top condition and a super fun train ride for the kiddos!
Guelph's Landscape and Architecture is Beyond Beautiful
Guelph has many unique neighbourhoods (12 to be exact) and each year we see a revival in the areas that are becoming old and stale. Our downtown core offers beautiful architecture, a lush tree canopy, and a superb selection of restaurants and shops. The Metalworks has embarked to transform the 1830 Guelph Mills, the city's first large-scale industrial development into a first class high rise and brewery. The downtown also includes the majestic Church of Our Lady, built up on a hill in the centre of the city. We have many 19th century buildings including the newly revived Petrie Building, a unique building with an iron façade – the last one standing in North America.
Small City Vibe with Big City Amenities
Guelph has a small hometown feel with a strong sense of community and collaboration. That feeling can't be bought or put in place, it's a feeling … and Guelph has it. As the city grows and takes on new development, more people, more homes, more business that small town feel remains. On the other hand Guelph is large enough that we do have many big city amenities. It's made up of a good cross section of small town big city events, places and venues such as the famous Guelph Farmer's Markets, the Santa Clause Parade, the Aberfoyle Antiques Market, Storm's Farm and Bakery, top rated restaurants, Stone Road Mall, big box stores, first class downtown shops, many micro breweries, The Making Box comedy club, a booming nightlife, GO Transit Hub, 2 large community centres – West End and Victoria, the Sleeman Centre, Guelph Storm (our very own OHL hockey team), skateparks, City Hall Market Square (which hosts many events including winter skating and outdoor movies) … the list goes on!
Sustainability is a theme that runs deep in Guelph, and it is home to multiple B. Corp Certified businesses.
Guelph is a University Town
Having a university in the city creates an energy that is contagious! The University of Guelph was established in 1964 and is considered one of Canada's top universities. With more than 20,000 undergraduate and 2,100 graduate students, it is consistently ranked highly for providing a comprehensive education that combines traditional academia with experiential learning and co-operative education outside the classroom. If you have the opportunity tour the campus, it's stunning. The University of Guelph's main campus features a blend of historical and modern architecture. Brick pathways connect century-old buildings with steel and glass structures. A bronze statue of the gryphon, the university's mascot, guards the main entrance to campus at the corner of Gordon Street and Stone Road. The iconic cannon, located in Branion Plaza, is best known for its constantly changing appearance – it's a campus tradition to paint the cannon on an almost daily basis.
Guelph has topped the list as the city with the most attractive real estate for buyers in Canada, according to the 2017 MoneySense Where to Buy Now ranking. If the list above isn't enough to convince you, watch the video below!

Q: C++: How does set know when two items are equal? I have created a set of C-strings, supplying my own comparator function because I wanted it to only take take the first three characters into account. Here's its definition:
struct set_object {
 bool operator()(const char* first, const char* second) {
        return strncmp(first, second, 3) > 0;
 }
};
std::set<const char*, set_object> c_string_set;

It works as I wanted it to, sorting the strings as I add them the way I outlined in the set_object class. But the interesting part begins when I try to add a string that compares equal to one already added. For example, if I try to add "aaab" when there is already "aaa" in the set, it doesn't add it into the set. If I add "aaab" first, then try to add "aaa", it only lists "aaab". But how does it know when they are equal if I only provided a function that returns true when one of the strings is greater? It should return false when it's either equal or smaller!
To clarify, it's not a problem, just trying to figure out how C++ works.

A: You're right that set_object(x, y) returning false doesn't say whether x is less than y or they are equal.  So set then calls set_object(y, x) to find out.

A: if (!less(first,second) && !less(second,first)) // equivalent!

If neither one is less than the other, they are equivalent (not equal, there's a very subtle difference).

A: If an item x is not greater nor smaller than another item y. it means that x and y are the same...

A: The items are deemed equivalent if a<b and b<a are both false.
