"George Washington" is an intriguing biography of America's first president as told by the man who would later become its twenty-eighth, Woodrow Wilson. Wilson takes us on a journey from a look at Washington's times to his Virginia breeding to his life in colonial America. Wilson looks at how these factors shaped the man who would lead the nation in its fight for independence and into its first years as a new nation. This is an insightful look into our nation's early history by a man who would play a key part in it more than one hundred years later.
GEORGE WASHINGTON was bred a gentleman and a man of honor in the free school of Virginian society, with the generation that first learned what it meant to maintain English communities in America in safety and a self-respecting independence. He was born in a season of quiet peace, when the plot of colonial history was thickening noiselessly and almost without observation. He came to his first manhood upon the first stir of revolutionary events; caught in their movement, he served a rough apprenticeship in arms at the thick of the French and Indian war; the Revolution found him a leader and veteran in affairs at forty-four; every turn of fortune confirmed him in his executive habit of foresight and mastery; death spared him, stalwart and commanding, until, his rising career rounded and complete, no man doubted him the first character of his age. Virginia gave us this imperial man, and with him a companion race of statesmen and masters in affairs. It was her natural gift, the times and her character being what they were; and Washington's life showed the whole process of breeding by which she conceived so great a generosity in manliness and public spirit.
The English colonies in America lay very tranquil in 1732, the year in which Washington was born. It fell in a season between times, when affairs lingered, as if awaiting a change. The difficulties and anxieties of first settlement were long ago past and done with in all the principal colonies. They had been hardening to their wilderness work, some of them, these hundred years and more. England could now reckon quite six hundred thousand subjects upon the long Atlantic seaboard of the great continent which had lain remote and undiscovered through so many busy ages, until daring sailors hit upon it at last amidst the stir of the adventurous fifteenth century; and there was no longer any thought that her colonists would draw back or falter in what they had undertaken. They had grown sedate even and self-poised, with somewhat of the air of old communities, as they extended their settlements upon the coasts and rivers and elaborated their means of self-government amidst the still forests, and each had already a bearing and character of its own. It was easy to distinguish the New-Englander from the man of the southern colonies; and the busy middle provinces that stretched back from the great bay at New York and from the waters of the spreading Delaware had also a breed of their own, like neither the men of the south nor the men of the northeast. Each region had bred for itself its characteristic communities, holding their own distinctive standards, knowing their own special purposes, living their own lives with a certain separateness and independence.
Virginia, the oldest of the colonies, was least to be distinguished by any private character of her own from the rural communities of England herself. Her population had come to her almost without selection throughout every stage of quick change and troubled fortune that England had seen during the fateful days since James Stuart became king; and Englishmen in Virginia were in no way radically distinguishable from Englishmen in England, except that they were provincials and frontiersmen. They had their own tasks and ways of life, indeed, living, as they did, within the old forests of a virgin continent, upon the confines of the world. But their tastes and temperament, spite of change and seclusion, they had in common with Englishmen at home. They gave leave to their opinions, too, with a like downright confidence and hardihood of belief, never doubting they knew how practical affairs should go. They had even kept the English character as they had received it, against the touch of time and social revolution, until Virginians seemed like elder Englishmen. England changed, but Virginia did not. There landed estates spread themselves with an ample acreage along the margins of the streams that everywhere threaded the virgin woodland; and the planter drew about him a body of dependents who knew no other master; to whom came, in their seclusion, none of that quick air of change that had so stirred in England throughout all her century of revolution. Some were his slaves, bound to him in perpetual subjection. Others were his tenants, and looked upon him as a sort of patron. In Maryland, where similar broad estates lay upon every shore, the law dubbed a great property here and there a manor, and suffered it to boast its separate court baron and private jurisdiction. Virginian gentlemen enjoyed independence and authority without need of formal title.
There was but one centre of social life in Virginia: at Williamsburg, the village capital, where the Governor had his palace, where stood the colonial college, where there were taverns and the town houses of sundry planters of the vicinage, and where there was much gay company and not a little formal ceremonial in the season. For the rest, the Old Dominion made shift to do without towns. There was no great mart to which all the trade of the colony was drawn. Ships came and went upon each broad river as upon a highway, taking and discharging freight at the private wharves of the several plantations. For every planter was his own merchant, shipping his tobacco to England, and importing thence in return his clothes, his tools, his household fittings, his knowledge of the London fashions and of the game of politics at home. His mechanics he found among his own slaves and dependents. Their quarters and the offices of his simple establishment showed almost like a village of themselves whore they stood in irregular groups about his own square, broad-gabled house, with its airy hall and homelike living-rooms. He might have good plate upon his sideboard and on his table, palatable old wine in his cellar, and on the walls about him portraits of the stately men and dames from whom he took his blood and breeding. But there was little luxury in his life. Plain comfort and a homely abundance sufficed Him. He was a gentleman, owned all he saw around him, exercised authority, and enjoyed consideration throughout the colony; but he was no prince. He lived always in the style of a provincial and a gentleman commoner, as his neighbors and friends did.
Slaves, dependents, and planters, however, did not by any means make up the tale of Virginia's population. She had been peopled out of the common stock of Englishmen, and contained her own variety. Most of the good land that lay upon the lower courses of the James, the York, the Rappahannock, and the Potomac rivers, and upon the bay on either hand, had been absorbed into the estates of the wealthier planters, who began to conceive themselves a sort of aristocracy; but not a few plain men owned their own smaller tracts within the broad stretches of country that lay back from the rivers or above their navigable depth. Upon the western front of the colony lived sturdy frontiersmen; and no man was so poor that he might not hope by thrift to hold his own with the best in the country. Few could own slaves in any number, for the negroes counted less than a third in a reckoning of the whole population. There were hired servants besides, and servants bound for a terra of years by indenture; even criminals who could be had of the colony for private service; but most men must needs work their own plots of ground and devise a domestic economy without servants. A wholesome democratic spirit pervaded the colony, which made even the greater planters hesitate to give themselves airs. A few families that had thriven best and longest, and had built up great properties for themselves, did indeed lay claim, as royal governors found to their great displeasure, to a right to be heard before all others in the management of the government. But they could of course show no title but that of pride and long practice. It was only their social weight in the parish vestries, in the Council, and in the House of Burgesses that gave them ascendency.
It was the same in church as in state. Virginia prided herself upon having maintained the Establishment without schism or sour dissent; but she had maintained it in a way all her own, with a democratic constitution and practice hardly to be found in the canons. Nominally the Governor had the right of presentation to all livings; but the vestries took care he should seldom exercise it, and, after they had had their own way for a century, claimed he had lost it by prescription. They chose and dismissed and ruled their ministers as they would. And the chief planters were nowhere greater figures than in the vestries of their own parishes, where so many neighborhood interests were passed upon — the care of the poor, the survey of estates, the correction of disorders, the tithe rates, and the maintenance of the church and minister. Sometimes the church building was itself the gift of the chief landowner of the parish; and the planters were always the chief rate-payers. Their leadership was natural and unchallenged. They enjoyed in their own neighborhood a sort of feudal pre-eminence, and the men about them easily returned in thought and estimation to that elder order of English life in which the chief proprietor of the country-side claimed as of course the homage of his neighbors. There were parishes, not a few, indeed, in which there was no such great planter to command consideration by a sort of social primacy. It was, after all, only here and there, and in the older parts of the colony, that affairs awaited the wish of privileged individuals. But it was the ascendency of the greater planters which most struck the imagination, and which gave to Virginia something of the same air and tone and turn of opinion that existed in England, with its veritable aristocracy, its lordly country gentlemen, its ancient distinctions of class and mariners.
Those who took counsel in England concerning colonial affairs had constant occasion to mark the sharp contrast between the easy-going Virginians, who were no harder to govern than Englishmen everywhere, and the men of the northeastern colonies, with their dry reserve and their steadfast resolution not to be governed at all. These seemed unlike Englishmen elsewhere; a whit stiffer, shrewder, more self-contained and circumspect. They were, in fact, a peculiar people. Into New England had come a selected class, picked out of the general mass of Englishmen at home by test of creed. God sifted the whole nation, one of their own preachers had told them, at election-time, in the far year 1668, that he might send choice grain out into this wilderness. But the variety of the old life in England had been lost in the sifting. The Puritan, for all he was so strong and great a figure in his day, was but one man among a score in the quick and various English life. His single standard and manner of living, out of the many that strove for mastery in the old seats where the race was bred, had been transferred to New England; and he had had separate and undisputed ascendency there to build new commonwealths as he would. The Puritan Commonwealth in England had been the government of a minority. Cromwell had done his work of chastening with a might and fervor which he found, not in the nation, but in himself and in the stout men-at-arms and hardy reformers who stood with him while he purified England and brought upon all her foes a day of reckoning. The people had stood cowed and uneasy while he lived, and had broken into wild excess of joy at their release when he died. But in New England an entire community consented to the Puritan code and mastery with a hearty acquiescence. It was for this liberty they had come over sea.
And the thoughtful, strong-willed; men who were their leaders had built, as they wished, a polity that should last. Time wrought its deep changes in New England, as elsewhere, but the stamp set upon these Puritan settlements by the generation that founded them was not effaced. Trade made its characteristic mark upon them. Their merchants had presently their own fleets and markets. Their hardy people took more and more to the sea, lived the rough life of the ocean ways with a relish, beat in their small craft up and down the whole coast of the continent, drove bargains everywhere, and everywhere added a touch to their reputation as doughty sea-dogs and shrewd traders. The population that after a while came to New England did not stay to be sifted before attempting the voyage out of the Old World, and the quaint sedateness of the settlements began to be broken by a novel variety. New men beset the old order; a rough democracy began to make itself felt; and new elements waxed bold amidst the new conditions that time had wrought. The authority of the crown at last made a place of command for itself, despite every stubborn protest and astute evasion. It became necessary to be a trifle less observant of sect and creed, to cultivate, as far as might be, a temper of tolerance and moderation. But it was a slow change at best. The old order might be modified, but it could not so soon be broken. New England, through all her jurisdictions, remained a body of churches, as well as a body of towns, submissive to the doctrine and discipline of her learned clergy, keeping the old traditions distinct, indubitable, alike in her schools and her meetinghouses. Even in Rhode Island, where there had from the first been such diversity of creed and license of individual belief, there was little variety of type among the people, for all they counted themselves so free to be what they would. There was here a singular assortment, no doubt, of the units of the stock, but it was of the Puritan stuff, none the less, through all its variety.
New England, indeed, easily kept her character, for she lived apart. Her people mustered a full hundred thousand strong before the seventeenth century was out; her towns numbered many score, both upon the margins of the sea and within the forests; but she still lay within a very near frontier, pushed back only a short journey from the coast. Except where the towns of Connecticut ran in broken line close to the westward strait of Long Island Sound, a broad wilderness of untouched woodland, of thicketed hills and valleys that no white man yet had seen, stretched between them and Hudson's river, where New York's settlements lay upon the edge of a vast domain, reaching all the way to the great lakes and the western rivers. Not till 1725 did adventurous settlers dare go so far as the Berkshire Hills. Our country, exclaimed Colonel Byrd, of Virginia, who had seen its wild interior, has now been inhabited more than a hundred and thirty years, and still we hardly know anything of the Appalachian Mountains, which are nowhere above two hundred and fifty miles from the sea. A full century after the coming of the Pilgrims, New England, like Virginia, was still a frontier region, shut close about on every hand by thick forests beset by prowling bands of savages. She had as yet no intimate contact with the other colonies whose fortunes she was to share. Her simple life, quickened by adventure, but lacking the full pulse of old communities, kept, spite of slow change, to a single standard of conduct, made her one community from end to end, her people one people. She stood apart and compact, still soberly cultivating, as of old, a life and character all her own. Colonel Byrd noted how New England improved much faster than Virginia, and was fain to think that though these people may be ridiculed for some Pharisaical particularities in their worship and behavior, yet they were very useful subjects, as being frugal and industrious, giving no scandal or bad example. Public men in England, who had to face these particularities in behavior, would hardly have agreed that the men of New England were good subjects, though they must have admitted their excellent example in thrift, and Virginia's need to imitate it.
This contrast between the northern and southern settlements was as old as their establishment, for Virginia had from the first been resorted to by those who had no other purpose than to better their fortunes, while New England had been founded to be the home of a creed and discipline; but it was not until the Commonwealth was set up in England that the difference began to be marked, and to give promise of becoming permanent. The English in Virginia, like the bulk of their countrymen at home, had stood aghast at a king's death upon the scaffold, and had spoken; very hotly, in their loyalty, of the men who had dared do the impious deed of treason; but when the Guinea, frigate, brought the Commonwealth's commission into the river to demand their submission, even Sir William Berkeley, the redoubtable Cavalier Governor, who had meant stubbornly to keep his province for the second Charles, saw he must yield; perceived there was too nice a balance of parties in the colony to permit an execution of his plans of resistance; heard too many plain men in his Council, and out of it, declare themselves very much of a mind with the Puritans for the nonce in politics — very willing to set up a democracy in Virginia which should call itself a part of the Puritan state in England. But a great change had been wrought in Virginia while the Commonwealth lasted. When the Commonwealth's frigate came in at the capes she counted scarcely fifteen thousand settlers upon her plantations, but the next twenty years saw her transformed. By 1670 quite twenty-five thousand people were added to the reckoning; and of the new-comers a great multitude had left England as much because they hated the Puritans as because they desired Virginia. They were drawn out of that great majority at home to whom Cromwell had not dared resort to get a new parliament in the stead of the one he had purged. Many of them were of the hottest blood of the Cavaliers.
It was in these years Virginia got her character and received her leading gentry for the time to come — the years while the Commonwealth stood and royalists despaired, and the years immediately following the Restoration, when royalists took heart again and Englishmen turned with a new ardor to colonization as the times changed. Among the rest in the great migration came two brothers, John and Lawrence Washington, of a stock whose loyalty was as old as the Conquest. They came of a Norman family, the men of whose elder branch had for two hundred years helped the stout Bishops of Durham keep the border against the Scots; and in every branch of which men had sprung up to serve the king, the state, and the church with steadfastness and honor: dashing soldiers ready for the field at home or abroad, stout polemical priors, lawyers who knew the learning of their day and made their way to high posts in chancery, thrifty burghers, gallant courtiers, prosperous merchants — public-spirited gentlemen all. It was Colonel Henry Washington, cousin to the Virginian refugees, who had been with Rupert when he stormed Bristol, and who, with a handful of men, had made good an entrance into the town when all others were beaten back and baffled. It was he who had held Worcester for his master even after he knew Charles to be a prisoner in the hands of the parliamentary forces. Procure his Majesty's commands for the disposal of this garrison, was all he would answer when Fairfax summoned him to surrender; till then I shall make good the trust reposed in me. The worst I know and fear not; if I had, the profession of a soldier had not been begun. But it was an ill time to revive the traditions of the knights of Durham; loyalty only brought ruin. The Reverend Lawrence Washington, uncle to the gallant colonel who was the King's Governor at Worcester, had been cast out of his living at Purleigh in 1643 by order of Parliament, upon the false charge that he was a public tippler, oft drunk, and loud to rail against the Parliament and its armies; but really because, with all his race, he was a royalist, and his living one of the best in Essex. It was his sons who left off hoping to see things mend in England and betook themselves to Virginia. His ruin had come upon him while they were yet lads. He had been a brilliant university scholar, fellow and lector of Brasenose, and rector of Oxford; but he could give his sons neither a university career nor hope of fortune in the humble parish pitying friends had found for him in an obscure village of Essex; and when he was dead they saw no reason why they should stay longer in England, where Cromwell was master.
John Washington, the oldest son of the unfortunate rector, reached Virginia in 1650, having made his way to the colony as second man to Edward Prescott, merchant and ship-owner, in whose company he had come; and his brother Lawrence, after passing to and fro between England and the colony several times upon errands of business, presently joined him in permanent residence upon the northern neck of rich land that lay between the Rappahannock and the Potomac rivers. It was a region where every settlement as yet was new. A few families had fixed themselves upon it when Maryland drove Captain Clayborne and his Virginian partisans forth from Kent Island in the years 1637 and 1638; and they had mustered numbers enough within a few years to send a representative to the House of Burgesses at Jamestown. But it was not till 1648 that the Assembly gave their lands a regular constitution as the County of Northumberland; for it was to this region the Indians had been driven by the encroachment of the settlements on the James and York, and for a while the Assembly had covenanted with the red men to keep it free from settlers. When once the ban was removed, however, in 1648, colonization set in apace — from the older counties of Virginia, from Maryland across the river and England over sea, from New England even, as if by a common impulse. In 1651 the Assembly found it necessary to create the two additional counties of Gloucester and Lancaster, and in 1653 still another, the County of Westmoreland, for the region's proper government, so quickly did it fill in; for the tide out of England already began to show its volume. The region was a natural seat of commerce, and merchants out of the trading ports of England particularly affected it. Rich land was abundant, and the Potomac ran strong and ample there, to carry the commerce alike of Virginia and Maryland to the bay, upon whose tributaries and inlets lay all the older settlements of both colonies. Lawrence Washington, though he still described himself, upon occasion, as of Luton, County Bedford, merchant, found his chief profit where he made his home, with his brother John, in the new County of Westmoreland in Virginia. About them lived young men and old, come, like themselves, out of England, or drawn from the older settlements by the attractions of the goodly region, looking out, as it did, on either hand to a broad river and an easy trade. They felt it scarcely an expatriation to live there, so constantly did ships come and go between their wharves and the home ports at Bristol and London. It soon grew to be nothing singular to see well-to-do men go every year to England upon some errand of profit or pleasure.

Cronkite Internship Program
AZ Fact Check to Get at Truth Behind Claims
Q&A With Dean Christopher Callahan
The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication is partnering with The Arizona Republic and 12 News to provide Arizonans a new public service that evaluates the accuracy of claims made by politicians running for office this fall.
Eight students from Arizona State University are researching facts presented by candidates for public office. Their work will be printed in the Republic and published on the newspaper's website, azcentral.com. Some of the selections also will air on 12 News, the region's NBC affiliate.
Students will cover races for U.S. Congress, the state Legislature, governor and attorney general as well as other elected positions and ballot propositions. Candidates' statements and other information circulated by campaigns will be rated on a five-star scale, ranging from true to false.
"During an election season, statements and claims fly fast, and they aren't always correct," said Nicole Carroll, executive editor of The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com. "Our job is to slow down, research what is being said and report the truth."
The paid interns will work under the direction of John Leach, a Cronkite adjunct faculty member and veteran Arizona journalist, and will be mentored by editors and reporters at the Republic and 12 News.
"One of the most important things the news media do in an election year is help voters sort through candidates' competing claims, and AZ Fact Check will do just that," Leach said. "Students from the Cronkite School will be checking statements made in campaign ads and brochures, candidate speeches and websites and other campaign materials and will be reporting what's correct, what's wrong and what's in that fuzzy area in between."
The site will available free at azfactcheck.com starting at noon today.
Members of the public will be able to suggest candidate statements they think students should research.
The Arizona site follows in the footsteps of other political fact-checking sites, such as the Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck.org and the St. Petersburg Times' Pulitzer Prize-winning PolitiFact.com, which covers Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Rhode Island and Texas.
Kristin Gilger, associate dean of the Cronkite School, said AZ Fact Check is the latest Cronkite program that seeks to provide important news and information to Arizona audiences. Others include Cronkite NewsWatch, a daily student television newscast; Cronkite News Service, which provides daily news and enterprise reports to broadcast, online and print media outlets throughout the state; and News21, a national reporting initiative in which students produce in-depth and innovative work for the Web.

The attraction to Santa Catalina, Panama is its natural beauty and vast natural resources. With the Pacific Ocean roaring up on its beautiful black sand beaches, Santa Catalina is the launching point for fantastic nautical adventures and a serene fishing village.
Surfing has for decades been the main draw for visitors to Santa Catalina. But the reason Santa Catalina exists is its access to abundant fish populations. Fishing and scuba diving are rapidly growing in popularity.
The same type volcanic outcroppings that create the incredible surf break at Playa Santa Catalina, create excellent dive and fishing spots just offshore. A short boat ride from shore delivers the diving and angling enthusiast enormous populations of fish and underwater structure.
Dozens of islands are scattered through out the ocean, just a short boat ride from Santa Catalina. Many of these islands offer relatively unexplored white sand beaches with surf breaks that equal and sometimes better the world renowned break at La Punta in Santa Catalina.
On land, Santa Catalina offers beautiful beaches, good food and affordable accommodations. Visitors to Santa Catalina come for outdoor recreation and relaxation. While there are a number of gathering spots for evening dinners and socializing, Santa Catalina is not the all night party spot found in a lot of Central American surf destinations. The person wandering the beach at 5 am is more likely an early bird surfer grabbing some solo time with the waves than a straggler partier left over from the night before.
With its flocks of parrots, warm waters and uncrowded beaches, Santa Catalina, Panama offers travelers the option for a quiet getaway or an activity filled vacation. Whether your ideal day is lounging undisturbed on an isolated beach or a day of scuba, surfing and playing soccer on the beach, Santa Catalina can fill your dreams.
The two primary beaches in Santa Catalina are Playa Santa Catalina and Playa Estero. Both are black sand beaches produced from an adjacent river and offer gentle waves with large tide changes through out the day. While Playa Santa Catalina is the busier of the two, either can offer a pick up soccer game or other activities with the locals.
The beach waters around Santa Catalina are routinely tested are have been awarded the Bandera Azul Ecologica or Ecologic Blue Banner award for their purity.
Playa Santa Catalina is the main village beach located at the end of the paved road. This is the hub of activity for the fishing village of Santa Catalina. Most of the daily scuba diving trips and fishing boats leave from Playa Santa Catalina. Directly in front of the beach is a view of Isla Santa Catalina. The adjacent river gives overnight harbor to the local fishing pangas.
Playa Estero is east of town across the small river at the end of the dirt road which starts at the intersection in town by the phone booth and the Vasquez store. Playa Estero generally has less activity through out the day and is often completely empty. It offers a nice steady set of waves for body surfing or beginners to learn to surf. Except during very heavy rains, the river is only calf deep and can be easily crossed.

Galerie Smečky zahájila činnost v nově rekonstruovaných prostorách v ulici Ve Smečkách 24, Praha 1, výstavou Jiřího Koláře a Ladislava Nováka v prosinci roku 2005. Tematicky se věnuje především české koláži.

Historie
Podnětem pro vybudování galerie bylo rozhodnutí vedení společnosti Pražská plynárenská prezentovat veřejnosti postupně svoji ojedinělou sbírku české koláže a pořádat zde autorské výstavy významných osobností české poválečné moderny (Jiří Kolář, Libor Fára, Eduard Ovčáček, Vladimír Suchánek, Aleš Veselý, Jiří Kaloč, Kateřina Černá, Květa Pacovská). Galerii spravuje Nadační fond Galerie Smečky, který zároveň podporuje i jiné neziskové projekty. Již od svého založení galerie spolupracovala s nakladatelstvím Gallery (Jaroslav Kořán), specializovaným na výtvarné umění, významnými fotografy (Hana Hamplová, Jaroslav Kvíz), typografy (Miroslav Kloss, Světla Kořánová) a teoretiky umění (Jiří Machalický, Marie Klimešová, Jiří Šetlík, Jiří Valoch, Vilma Hubáčková, Naďa Řeháková).

Galerie vědomě odkazuje svým koncepčním výstavním programem na jiné významné kulturní instituce – zaniklou Galerii Vincence Kramáře (malíř František Doležal), výstavy na hradě Sovinec (Jindřich Štreit), galerii Ztichlá klika (Jan Placák), připomíná neprávem opomíjené české osobnosti s mezinárodním věhlasem (Vladimír Holub), prezentuje české ilustrátory (Karel Trinkewitz, Vladimír Jiránek, Jiří Trnka, Josef Lada, Jiří Slíva) a dává prostor i výtvarníkům mladších generací (Egerová, Singer, Skála).

Many economists, including those at Missouri's free-market think tank, the Show Me Institute, have studied how states with high marginal tax rates on personal income tend to lose wealth compared with those economies with relatively low tax regimes. With North Carolina gaining wealth due to migration from other states, analyzing where this migration is coming from is useful to states that want to improve local opportunities for job growth and economic expansion.
When it comes to positioning a state's overall business climate, less certainly can be more. Compared with many other states, the tax code in North Carolina is flatter and simpler. If you look at the North Carolina state income tax forms, they're not complicated by extra deductions, credits or offsets for a basic household or filer. As Art Laffer and the National Taxpayers Union have published, the business of tax compliance employs more workers than Wal-Mart, UPS, McDonald's, IBM, and Citigroup combined.

imyril @ There's Always Room For One More March 10, 2020 Interview
Author Spotlight: meet Patrick Edwards
Patrick Edwards is a Bristol-based author of speculative fiction. I leapt at the opportunity to ask him a few questions (spoiler-free) to celebrate the release of his new novel Echo Cycle – and what a charming bloke he is!
In Echo Cycle, You stir together a dystopian vision of a post-Brexit future with a Roman time travel drama: what drew you to these periods – and what inspired you to mix them together?
To answer that backwards, it started with Rome. I've loved its history since childhood (starting with Asterix, delving into more robust sources later) and I'm a repeat visitor – it's my favourite city and I'd happily live there. In Rome you're swamped by the past, able to touch it and taste it and smell it – the flagstones in the forum are dated to Julius Caesar's time and the thought of treading where he did gives me chills.
This leads me to the second part: Brexit. I love Rome and Rome is in Europe; I'm Britain-born but my early education – in fact my formative childhood – was in France. I was angry and confused and not a little afraid of this thing being taken from me, so I did the only useful thing I could think of: write about it.
How do you approach a new project? Do you work things out based on an idea for a plot or are you drawn to explore particular characters and settings? How about developing the ideas – is it plotting or pantsing?
Oh, how wonderful it would be if the whole idea just landed in my brain; the saved hours of wrangling and doubting and revising! What I tend to do is find items in the news or in history (bless you, Wikipedia) that are quirky and memorable, then build around them: my first book, Ruin's Wake, was inspired by the stories of South Koreans floating mobile phones attached to party balloons over the DMZ in the hopes someone would find them and connect with a wider world.
If that fails, there's always good ol' wish fulfilment: the idea of taking everything you know as a modern person and being dropped in the past is enticing beyond belief – hence Echo Cycle.
Both Echo Cycle and Ruin's Wake begin with bleak visions but focus on more hopeful possibilities in their futures. Do you consider yourself optimistic or pessimistic about the future?
I was more optimistic three years ago, for sure! Despite it all, I still cleave to the idea that things will get better for two reasons: the first is what I see as my professional obligation to offer readers a light at the end of the tunnel (the news doesn't need any help in selling depression) and the second is my job as a dad. I want my kids to look forwards and dream big, so no matter how repeated and large the shocks it remains my responsibility to think of better times ahead
What first drew you to writing speculative fiction? (Why do you love fiction / genre, specific influences etc)
I am a fully paid-up nerd. I had the Klingon language tapes, the lightsaber, the addiction to watching Picard and co. every week (Riker, HR's worst nightmare, is my favourite). At boarding school I had a shelf full of Star Wars tie-in novels.
Though those were my first loves, it was more about the intrinsic transportive effect of all books – no matter how lonely or sad you are you can lose yourself in one and everything just seems better, a real help when you're half a world from your family at boarding school. The older I got, the less genre seemed to matter until I started encountering writers like Mitchell and Harkaway that do away with it altogether. I've come to see it as a kind of atheism-equivalent: where the hard genres duke it out for who's better, more worthy, more fun, speculative fiction throws out the rulebook and tells the stories it wants without regard for rules of form. In that sense, it's not a genre at all, it's Saruman of the many colours and none – and we're back in nerd country.
You have written two stand-alone novels so far – would you ever be tempted to revisit these worlds?
Not immediately – I have a fresh idea burning away at me, to my editor's chagrin! Someone did point out that there are four seasons in the world of Ruin's Wake – which was left pretty open-ended – so who knows if there's a Ruin's Bask or Ruin's Death out there in the fringes of my brain?
What can we expect next from you?
Something very other-worldly, he said, being coy.
imyril: I'm interpreting this as faeries or space opera and I'm excited either way!
What SFF books are you looking forward to the most in 2020?
I'm rubbish at planning my reading ahead, but I understand David Mitchell has one in the pipeline. Also, there's all the Rivers of London stuff from Ben Aaronovitch that I always snap up on the spot – the graphic novels are a particular delight.

Echo Cycle is a timeslip political thriller set in a dystopian near-future.
After 30 years of self-imposed isolation in its Brexit bubble, Britain is tentatively re-engaging with a European Confederacy risen phoenix-like from the ashes of the crumbled EU. But when the British delegation comes under attack, it becomes impossible to tell whether it's a false flag by a British faction determined to remain independent or a vengeance 2000 years in the making…
Echo Cycle is released today (March 10th) by Titan Books. My full review (TL;DR version – it's great, go buy it!)
Many thanks to Titan Books and Patrick Edwards for the early review copy and the chance to have a chat!

As a busy American, I am woefully ignorant when it comes to Brexit and British politics. Sounds like I need to read this book immediately 😁 Wonderful interview!
sjhigbee	 on March 10, 2020 at 11:59 pm
I love the sound of this one. Thank you for an excellent interview!
maddalena@spaceandsorcery	 on March 11, 2020 at 2:51 pm
Great interview, thank you so much for sharing this! I added Echo Cycle to my "wanted" list as soon as I saw the first review about it…
@lynnsbooks	 on March 11, 2020 at 9:52 pm
Brexit and Rome – there is an interesting combination indeed, although all roads lead back. Great interview, really interesting. I loved Rome too, the mix of old and new and the history that it just seems to breathe, it's a little bit overwhelming.
imyril	 on March 11, 2020 at 10:23 pm
It is, isn't it? The opening chapter of Echo Cycle really captures that sense of overwhelming excitement; it gets things off to a strong start!

Hamstring strains (a.k.a. "doing a hammy!") are one of the most common injuries seen by Northern Beaches physiotherapists. Hammy strains are most prevalent in sports that use a combination of dynamic movements like sprinting, Australian Rules football (AFL), soccer, dancing, surfing, rugby league and other activities where quick eccentric contractions, when the leg is being straightened and the hamstring is working hard, occur frequently such as slowing the leg down after kicking a ball. In AFL hamstring strains are the most common injury with a rate of 6 injuries per club per season combined with the highest rate of re-injury at over 30%. Musculoskeletal physiotherapists know that it is perfectly normal for two people to tear exactly the same muscle but recover at different speeds. Recovery time is dependent on the grade of the injury with a grade 1 injury possibly healing in only a few days, while a grade 3 injury could take months and, in extreme cases, even require surgery.
Most hamstrings will have torn well before this point so all can admire the incredible strength and flexibility of Tayla Harris during the AFLW 2019 season.
What are the hamstrings and what do they do?
The hamstrings are a group of muscles and their tendons at the back of your upper leg. They are made up of three different muscles: the biceps femoris, the semitendinosus and the semimembranosus. You use your hamstrings for all kinds of things: walking, running, dancing and jumping. They enable you to flex your knee and extend the hip at the beginning of each step you take. Your hamstrings play a large role in many movements of the legs and hips which is why physiotherapists have spent so long studying them and how to reduce the occurrence and length of injuries.
Like most injuries, hamstring strains or injuries can be classified as being caused by either primary or secondary factors.
If you have had a hamstring injury your best course of action is to consult with a physiotherapist that has an expert knowledge of sporting and musculoskeletal injuries. Due to the high rate of reinjuring your hamstring, there is no substitute for high quality initial care and rehabilitation. Physiotherapy helps patients with a hamstring injury to speed up the healing process and ensure the best outcome. They will be able to assess and treat your strain and help you to minimise their recurrence in the future.
Your physio will likely recommend the trusty RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) method for the first few days. This will help to reduce swelling and minimise pain. I like the saying 'the early bird gets the worm' and when it comes to intervention for hamstring injuries the early bird getting treatment always recovers quicker and more effectively. An expert sports physio will also get you loading your hamstrings in a variety of different ways, even in the early stages!
Whether you have recently suffered a hamstring injury and are in need of immediate physical therapy or you have suffered a hamstring injury in the past, a physiotherapist is able to assess and recommend the best activities and stretches to help speed along your recovery and reduce the likelihood of experiencing further strains.

Damien has treated me periodically for two years for various musculo skeletal complaints . The reason I choose Damien is because his approach and techniques with treatment tick all boxes that I consider make an excellent specialist generalist physio. When I visit a physio I expect to have the pain relieved, know what I have done and how long the recovery is expected to take .He is a good listener, great diagnostician and he really cares about his patients. Importantly he researches and participates in ongoing training to ensure he uses the latest evidence based techniques in his treatment. The home exercises he recommends are well explained and achievable. His treatment results are excellent and if the healing is not progressing well Damien does not hesitate to suggest an appropriate alternative health practitioner. He is such a good practitioner I have encouraged my daughter in law to visit him about her shoulder. She too is delighted with the treatment. "
I haven't written many reviews but I feel compelled to spread the word. Finally a physio that listens, doesn't give ridiculously complicated exercises (I had a maximum of 3 exercises which changed throughout the rehab) and I know that he genuinely cared about my outcome and what my individual goals were. I was really nervous before going as I have had a couple of bad experiences with chiropractors before but I was instantly at ease with the warm welcome, calm demeanour and professional yet likeable nature of my physio, Damien. Anyone on the Northern Beaches with back pain needs to call The Beaches Sports Physio because he is the best in the business! Thanks for getting me walking again!
Damien is an excellent physio who looks after our whole family - from the teen sporting injuries to the middle-aged twinges and every postural issue in between. He has excellent diagnostic skills and always takes a sensible holistic approach. He is willing to adapt his treatment regime to what works best for the client and is responsive to feedback. Highly recommended!
Damien is a down to earth, trusted, and knowledgeable physio. He is thorough in his assessment and provided me with knowledge about my injury, so I can better understand the mechanics of my body. Damien is empathetic in his approach (but to the point!) and I find him easy to talk to which makes his ability to assess me much more individualised and holistic. I would recommend Damien to any of my friends with 100% assurance that he would provide the best service and care in the industry.
I don't often write reviews but I wouldn't want anyone to miss out this great Physio. My personal experience with them has been great, especially with Damien who I have known for over 3 years. Back in 2015 I sprained my ankle but I didn't pay much attention to it. The injury then got old and worse and couldn't heal itself. Luckily, my doctor referred me to Damien and he's been taking care of me ever since. He managed to release me from pain and even put me back in basketball court in just a few weeks. He also taught me how to protect the ankles so I haven't got any issues since. Over the last few year I also had back pains for a couple of times and Damien and his colleagues have been taken care of me with 10/10 satisfaction. They are simply so professional, flexible and friendly.
My experience with Beaches Sports Physio was extremely helpful and lifesaving. I was very distressed when my x-rays revealed that I had arthritis in my lower back. I thought this was the end of my busy life. So, I was referred to the Beaches Sports Physio, and to my surprise the physiotherapist, Damien, was so helpful in explaining that this was normal for someone my age, and that with exercise I would get better. I admit, I was sceptical and very anxious at first, but Damien was able to calm me down. He was very patient, friendly and knowledgeable. The Beaches Sports Physio was a pleasure to visit and I have no hesitation referring my friends here.
I cannot recommend The Beaches Physio enough. I needed physiotherapy services for my shoulder which has a history of dislocations, and the staff I encountered were all highly knowledgeable, professional and super friendly. The advice I received was super easy to understand, and this was really important for me given that I am not very medically savvy. With great encouragement from the staff, I am performing my exercises, and am on the road to recovery. An easy decision to award 5 stars!
Damien was extremely thorough in his analysis of my knee problems that occur while I am running. He tested strength, flexibility in all of my related joints, muscle tightness, running technique and did a video analysis of my running style. I now have a really good plan for improving my running technique and eliminating the pain in my knees. I was extremely impressed with Damien's professionalism and depth of knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anybody who is after some great personal attention and expert help.
Damien is a highly knowledgeable, accommodating and personable physio. He is an effective communicator and provides ongoing support to clients, checking in on the them regularly to see how they're progressing. Damien was able to quickly address pain in my lower back, providing me with exercises that rectified the pain within a matter of days. I've been a client of Damien's for the past three years, and despite relocating to an area that's further away from home I'm more than happy to travel over 40 minutes to visit him simply due to his high level of professionalism.
Damien will help you achieve a higher quality of life by addressing your pains and discomforts with his simple, yet highly effective, treatment plans. He is passionate, highly professional, thoughtful and down to earth. I appreciate his honesty and candidness, which has built trust between us knowing he will look after my best interests.
I highly recommend Damien as a Physio, he has treated me several times and I have seen significant progress in my condition. I have been to many Physio's over my life and I appreciate a Physio that takes the time to understand your concerns and treats you manually rather than simply hooking you up to a machine and walking away to treat another patient. Damien's experience and commitment to getting results with his patients gives me confidence to recommend him to anyone looking for results from an excellent Physio.
I highly recommend Damien at The Beaches Sports Physio. I had been dealing with neck pain and stiffness for several months and after only a few sessions with Damien, I could finally turn my head with significantly less neck pain--and the pain and range of motion is steadily improving with each visit. Damien is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. He listens intently to your concerns, asks questions, and performs a diagnostic exam in order to diagnosis the underlying issue(s). He explains the issue in understandable terms, and discusses a healing protocol, aiming to ensure that it's practical and actionable for you. In addition to in-office treatments, Damien gave me simple, yet effective, exercises and stretches to do at home in order to facilitate the healing. I believe that the healing process is a collaborative effort between the practitioner and the patient, and I found that his style is in line with this philosophy. Damien is passionate about his profession and sincerely seeks to help his patients heal and thrive in their lives.
I highly recommend Damien at The Beaches Sports Physio. I have been a client of Damien's for a number of years and I find him very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. My first encounter with Damien was when I tore my ACL over 5 years ago. He listened to my concerns and explained the treatment in simple terms. We then worked together to create a program that had me back playing hockey within 9 months. When my Dad needed physio after his knee replacements, Damien was the only physio I recommended to him. My dad went on to have great success with his recovery. Damien is truly passionate about his profession and strive to help his patients in anyway he can to improve their lifestyle.
Damien saved my back! 10/10 I was suffering from ligament laxity, which needed attending to quick smart. I first saw him when I was recommended to him by a friend, who knew I really needed to see someone as soon as possible for my back, during pregnancy. This was causing me to walk with a skewed spine, and causing major back spasms which were excruciating. It was hard to get in and out of the car, in and out of bed and even sitting in a chair was difficult. The only relief was laying on my back. Damien fitted me in to his schedule that very day, and once I walked in, he greeted me with a welcoming smile, took one look at me and knew what he needed to do. I explained my situation, and he explained every detail about what was going on with my body during pregnancy. My pelvis was moving, which is normal during pregnancy, and because of that, the ligaments in my back were "loosening" causing my muscles around it to tighten up to protect my back. He worked out that even though my pelvis would move only under a centremetre throughout pregnancy, it was actually twisted at the same time. He straightened it out, as well as my hips, and had me walking around a lot better than when I came in. He gave me a few simple stretches to do at home, which were easy enough to do on my back, which was the only position I could get relief from. Damien was extremely reassuring. I basically told him that it was something I think I'm just going to have to deal with for the next however many weeks/months, and he said "no, this shouldn't be something you should have to suffer throughout your pregnancy. I'm going to help your situation and give you some relief so you don't have to live suffer with this", and that he did with flying colours! I was so scared I'd have to deal with this pain every day, but he has definitely helped me be able to walk properly again, and be able to do more daily activities. He also explained how to deal with my situation, and that my subconscious was telling me one thing, which actually helped me to better understand how I was going to get through this mentally. The body does amazing things, but the mind can also tell us how to work our bodies. And if we can understand how to train our bodies with our brain, the physical pain can be treated more easily. Damien has a great sense of humour, highly professional in asking me questions and finding out the problem, and made me feel extremely comfortable and totally reassured that he was confident he'd be able to help! Thanks Damien! 10/10 !
I highly recommend any one with any injury not just sports injuries to visit Damien at The Beaches Sports Physio. I first met Damien a few years ago with a severe ankle injury from a horse fall. After a couple of months of his treatment and the education he gave me on helping strengthen my ankle I had no pain and full range of movement and still have no troubles to this day with that ankle. Even after doing numerous kilometres of running training for the half marathons I now compete in. I am now returning to seek Damien's advise with a running injury I have sustained on my other foot. After one treatment I can notice the change in the range of movement and know exactly what I have to do to help the injury mend. Damien's passion to explain how the body moves and what can cause certain areas to be under pressure is inspiring. I enjoy his energy, happy, friendly nature and consider him very much a friend and not just a therapist. I look forward to my journey back to great physical help and know I am in good hands when I'm under the guidance from Damien. I encourage any one who has an aching back from sitting too long behind the computer, any mum with sore hips, shoulders and back from lifting the kids or any enthusiast runner with aching knees and ankles to drop in and have a consultation with Damien, you will be thankful that you did.
Damien is a Godsend! Since having my daughter 2.5 years ago I've been struggling with uncomfortable pain that no one was able to get to the bottom of. I'd tried everything! Finally I googled sports physio and ended up in his office. Stoked with the results, within one session I was able to get some relief. It was good to feel heard and Damien didn't jump to conclusions and was better at investigating the pain than anyone else I've seen. Found it! Relieved it! Now I feel confident with his help I'll be able to keep it at bay.
Damien is not your traditional physiotherapist. He puts his knowledge, experience and desire to help you in every interaction. He also helps our community by offering free consultation during beach volleyball competitions. His great attitude and experience makes a big difference. Thank you!
I have seen Damien for multiple injuries (shoulder, knee, ankle) over the last 2 years. He is friendly and professional, extremely knowledgeable and took the time to understand the background behind my injuries. Given that I had played a Division 1 Volleyball in the USA for 5 years, understanding that some of my injuries are from overuse and building a specific rehab programs so that not only I can recover and get back on the court but also strengthening the muscles around. Damien plays volleyball himself, so it's so much easier to explain how some injuries have occurred and what my limitations in trainings are while doing the rehab. In addition, due to my busy schedule he made himself available outside of normal business hours. I would highly recommend Damien to anyone looking for an awesome physio!
I had been to another physio for years but with new staff i wasn't getting that genuine caring experience. That's when I was lucky to find The Beaches Sport Physio and Damien, who i call the Fixer. He is very thorough, experienced and honest. If you are after someone who genuinely cares and helps fix your injures, Damien's your man.
I have written just one other review in my life but this will be by far the most important. Damien has showed me care that is rarely seen in practices these days. When I walk in through the door I feel like I'm being invited in to see an old friend. Most importantly though, Damien is a very thorough and knowledgeable physiotherapist. Whatever your issue he will be able to help. Honest, genuine and an outstanding physio!
Damien does simply amazing work and helped me with shoulder rehab following surgery for a broken clavicle. I was given an estimated 12 weeks by the doctors for full recovery, but had full range of motion within 4 weeks and was almost back to 100% within 8 weeks thanks to Damien. His punctuality and communication was excellent throughout the process and I can't fault anything with his service!

Piccolo Toys has brought to India a lovely range of safe, non-toxic wooden toys perfect for toddlers and kids. Their pastel wooden building blocks have become an integral part of Lil Sis's play time. Check out our play time fun, a review of Piccolo's pastel blocks and my top reasons why a set of building blocks is a must have for all toddlers and preschoolers!
Toddlers need a lot of play time! Play time away from TV or phone screens that is. They don't go to school yet and aren't grown up enough to go play with their friends. Toys are the best ways of keeping them happily engaged. But choosing toys for toddlers is not exactly the most easy task. The toys need to safe and also engaging. We are super happy with our pastel building blocks set from Piccolo Toys. The 64 piece set is the perfect companion for an active toddler. Check them out for more safe and non-toxic play stuff.
My mother's strongest memory of me as a toddler is that I used to quietly play for hours with my blocks! That is really how engaging blocks are. The classic toy has undergone many changes with passing times. But let me tell you this very important fact – Do not complicate the simple toys of little kids! Little ones do not need blocks with pictures made of every side. It only confuses them and causes lack of concentration. Buy a simple set of blocks and let the kids do what they are meant to do with blocks – CONSTRUCT.
5. Helps improve their problem solving skills!
7. Inspires confidence when they complete their structures and motivates them to try new projects.
10. Helps develop math skills like counting, subtracting, geometry and the application of math in daily life. The children know, for example, that 3 squares makes a shorter building while 6 would make a larger one. Or a rectangle will make a longer base or that two semi-circles can be joined to make a circle.
Building Blocks open the gate to a world full of possibilities and imagination!
While it is true that any set of blocks will help your children with the above skills, you cannot overlook the importance of giving your children safe toys to play with. Plastic is everywhere around us and while it is impossible to escape it entirely, there are a number of things that can be replaced with better and high quality options. Piccolo Toys gives you a wonderful option for the perfect set of building blocks for your toddler.
1. Piccolo building blocks are made out of wood as opposed to plastic. And the wood is locally sourced top quality wood.
2. The blocks are made to last! We have been playing with them almost every single day for the last few months. The blocks, and their paint, is intact. I am beginning to believe that we might have an heirloom here!
Piccolo Toys has a range wooden toys made from locally sourced wood and lead free paints.
3. The blocks use non toxic and lead free colors. It is completely safe to let toddlers play with them.
4. The blocks are simple, classic and elegant. Like I said before, I prefer keeping baby toys uncomplicated. No unnecessary details and designs. Just classic, building blocks made for children to 'create' with.
5. I loved that they have an option for pastel blocks. I know kids love bold and primary colors. But this set is a welcome change from all else that we have in bright colors. The colors and the finish is very calming for a quiet afternoon's play and not too dull to not attract the kids. My baby loves them as much I do!
The joy of completing a structure!
6. The blocks have an excellent finishing. They are completely free of any rough edges and are color fast. The shapes are made perfectly and the surfaces are very smooth. The build quality is excellent.
7. In case you did not notice, the blocks come with their own cloth bag! Post-play cleanup is a breeze. My 3 year old picks up all the blocks and places them inside the bag after play time. Easy for her to do so and very convenient for Momma who is forever organizing the toys!
I am sure I have encouraged you to get a set of building blocks for your children at the earliest! Just keep in mind the materials used, quality of construction and the fact that they are colorfast since you never know when toddlers decide to put anything in their mouth. Piccolo Toys makes the perfect set if you are planning to buy. Do check them out. They are also available on Amazon India.
I love the concept of using wooden toys as they are durable and eco-friendly. This is fun as it's open end play and we can really see kids using their imagination and being creative they always surprise us. A good quality product. I liked it that u suggested so many other uses too Ike counting and all. Cool one to get one for my little daughter.

Wonderful product. Fun increase when toys comes in educational form. Kids can use there creative mind & we can see many things they make from it.
I like the idea of using plain blocks rather than printed ones as later ones decreases concentration in kids. Nice tip nice product from piccolo. I will always remember this tip before shopping in future.

This is safest way to engage hyperactive toddlers like mine and put his thoughts and ideas to explore and learn in a creative way ….loved this review completely and the castle is awesome .
Thats a really nyc product. Im sure its vry useful in early ages of the child. Specially enhancing motor skills… hand eye cordination.

Big Brother 21 Live Feeds Spoilers Day 62: Christie Casts a Spotlight on Nick
August 20, 2019 jerrica Tisdale Big Brother, Big Brother 2019, Big Brother 21, Big Brother Live Feeds, Big Brother Spoilers 2
The previous Big Brother 21 night, Analyse Talavera, Tommy Bracco, and Christie Murphy worked to keep her in the game. They made an attempt to get the Six Shooters back together, while throwing anyone they needed to under the bus. For a moment, Christie hoped that it might work and Jackson Michie would take her off the block. Unfortunately for Christie, he was a man on a mission and that mission included taking out Christie this week.
Once Jackson did not use the Veto, he went to work on assuring that Tommy didn't take it personal, and he planned to talk to Analyse, to try to get her back on Holly Allen and his side. Analyse would be harder to win over because she kept saying she felt lost with Christie leaving the game, and she didn't want to be around Jackson and Holly.
Later, Tommy and Anakyse discussed having to be fake nice to Jackson and Holly, but Analyse mentioned that they would definitely be her targets next week. Tommy seems more on board now for targeting them as well. He told Jackson that he understood the move against Christie, but definitely knows that this hurts his game moving forward. He spoke about talking to Cliff Hogg III to form a new alliance with him. He said that he feared Cliff but respected his game.
Also after the Veto Ceremony, Christie told Analyse that she wouldn't campaign against her, but then once she had some time to think about it, she decided to. Most of Christie's campaign revolved around throwing Nick Maccarone under the bus to anyone who would listen. She believed he had a final two deal with Jackson, and that he was playing the whole house. She wanted to expose it. She told Analyse and Tommy, and Analyse confronted Nick about it. He was hurt that they still don't trust him, but after talking to Tommy, Analyse decided she trusted Nick. They blamed Jessica Milagros for Christie's anti-Nick campaign.
Eventually Christie and Nick talked it out, but Christie is still likely to throw him in front of the bus all week.

The other day I got on the tube at London Bridge and sat on a seat sodden with piss. Absolutely brinking with the stuff it was. Meniscusing. I shot up, swore, glared at the people around me who may have known that the seat was wet but didn't think to mention it, and found a different seat in a different carriage.
I chose to re-sit. This was pretty much the beginning of my journey. I didn't fancy standing all the way home but the longer I remained seated the more the moisture went to work. I have to add (and my apologies to those who didn't need to know I wasn't wearing any underwear) that I wasn't wearing any underwear. This is not my usual state of (un)dress but was related to the fact that I'd played football in the afternoon, changed in someone's bathroom, had a glass of wine, then toddled off.
Two thirds of my way through the journey I became so disgusted about what might be happening in my nethers that I got up again. In doing so I feared I would offend the gentleman next to me: by this time the carriage was fairly empty and I was concerned such behaviour would look like rudeness, so I turned to the man and said something along the lines of, "I hope you don't think me rude but I have to stand as, effectively, someone's taken a pee on my behind and, without underpants on, the urea is going to work on my buttocks and may yet penetrate them." He nodded as though he understood. He probably did: in my experience this happens every two or three years. He then did something that very rarely happens on the tube: he struck up a conversation.
"Enjoying that are you?" he said, looking at my copy of 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'.
But before he could get any further I arrived at my stop and sprung out, walking at a brisk pace to my girlfriend's house. The first thing she did – pretty much the worst thing she could have done – was, for some reason, to pat me repeatedly on the bottom. I informed her about the urea and we both went off to have a clean up.
Now then. The reason I mention all this is because a couple of days later, as I strolled down the street, I relived the event. "F*ck", I said, out loud. "F*cking disgusting." I engage in this sporadically. I believe public profanity to be an area that has yet to be granted the research it clearly warrants. As far as I know it doesn't even have a proper name. By coincidence the same day I received a text message from my friend George, a doctor who lives in Leeds. At the end of his informative text it read, "Been doing a lot of public cussing recently. Especially at work." George and I discuss this regularly. I'm not talking about the kind of public blasheming indulged in by 'the mad' (though you may yet think us certifiable), I'm talking about swearing that accompanies the recollection of something you've done, said, haven't done, haven't said, often days, weeks, months or even years after the event, and it just spills out, there and then. Rarely related to ones environment, often it occurs when things are quiet and you're having a good think: you're walking to the bus stop, taking a shower, having a swim, or in George's case replacing someone's hip with a piece of plastic, then suddenly it hits you – "How COULD I?", "It's too late to apologise NOW…", "WHY didn't I use a condom??", "I'll NEVER play for Liverpool again,", "WHY did I even give that Cheryl Cole the time of day?" and so on, all of which comes with an involuntary f*ck or c*nt.
I played squash with my friend Jon yesterday (note: I'm not always playing sport. Sometimes I'm simply walking down the street swearing my head off). He's also a doctor. In fact he and George know each other. I explained about George's public cussing.
So, basically, I'm throwing it out there. Do you go in for a spot of public, involuntary cursing? What form does the cursing take? Is it accompanied by a tic? And, most importantly, what kinds of memories and recollections bring it on?


The Indian auto component industry is highly fragmented in nature and has 416 players, employing 250,000 people. The output of the Indian auto component segment, as per ACMA, was estimated at around US$ 5.1 bn (Rs 245 bn) in FY03.
Since an auto assembly involves large number of parts, ACMA has classified sector companies on the basis of components that they supply to auto manufacturers. The following table lists the industry segmentation on the basis of components, their contribution to the overall industry revenues and some of the leading players in those segments.
Since auto ancillary companies mainly act as vendors, it is extremely important for them to remain competitive, both in terms of cost as well as quality. As a consequence, the profitability of the company at the operating level assumes great significance. Therefore, we consider operating profits as a good starting point in separating a good auto ancillary company from the rest.
Operating profits: The operating profit of an auto ancillary company is the difference between the revenues earned and the expenses incurred. We shall now focus on the revenue side first.
An auto ancillary company can generate revenues from two major sources, the first is from supplies to OEM (original equipment manufacturers) and the second is through after market sales.
With the advent of the best manufacturing practices in the domestic auto industry, auto players have significantly cut the number of auto ancillary manufacturers they source their components from and in line with the global trend, this has led to the tierisation.
Naturally, the auto ancillary manufacturer, which directly supplies to the OEMs and offers more value added products, is the one that is known as a Tier I player. Further, the components and sub-assemblies required by the Tier I players are sourced from Tier II and Tier III suppliers. Thus, an auto ancillary company can generate its revenues from any one of the above-mentioned three ways. In this sector, Tier I players on account of their direct interface with OEMs have a better bargaining power and consequently enjoy higher margins. On the flip side, these players have to be very particular about their quality and have to keep high levels of inventory, thus increasing working capital needs.
Apart from direct supplies, an auto ancillary player can also generate revenues from after market sales i.e. it can have a presence in the replacement market. Here, the margins are not only higher on account of superior realisations, but it also provides a cushion against slowdown in the auto industry when the demand from OEMs decline.
Thus, while selecting an auto ancillary stock, it becomes necessary to delve into the position of the company on the supply value chain and at the same time, check whether the company derives some of its revenues from after market sales. The higher the company on the value chain and larger the percentage of revenues derived from the after market, the better it is.
Since companies in the industry are suppliers to the auto industry, the performance of the auto industry has the single largest impact on the fortunes of the auto ancillary industry. Therefore, it becomes imperative for an investor to track the performance of the auto industry (both domestic as well as international), in order to determine the growth prospects of an auto ancillary company.
What would happen if an auto ancillary company generates majority of its revenues by supplying to just a single auto company and the latter shuts down? Not surprisingly, even the auto ancillary company might have to shut down or scout for other clients, which would be hard to come by. Therefore, in order to avoid such a scenario, an investor should look for companies that have adequate client diversification, both in the domestic as well as international markets. The larger and stronger the number of clients, the lesser the risk for the auto ancillary company. Apart from client diversification, geographical diversification, where the company derives a good part of its revenues from exports or supplies to overseas players is also an important criterion for identifying a good auto ancillary company.
Since auto ancillary companies usually supply to leading automakers, quality issue becomes extremely important. This assumes even more serious dimensions while supplying to foreign auto majors. Even a small defect in quality could lead to heavy penalties. Therefore, if a company has some sort of recognition such as the Deming quality awards or best supplier award from respected auto companies, it always adds to its credibility and ability to win lucrative contracts.
Thus, after looking into the major aspects of the revenues side, it becomes clear that companies with more value added products and sufficient client and geographical diversification will prove to be a safer bet than its peers, which do not have the same characteristics.
Having gone through the revenues part of the flow chart, let us now glance through the major expenses that are incurred by an auto ancillary company.
The auto industry has evolved to a stage where auto companies have substantially increased the number of components they outsource. Apart from design and development work and manufacturing of some key components, almost all the other components are outsourced. In such a scenario, auto ancillary players have been increasingly burdened with higher raw material expenses, notably steel. Since auto ancillary companies have a weaker bargaining power, majority of the input cost rises are absorbed internally (either through cost restructuring or lowering margins). This increases the risk profile of the sector.
Here also, Tier I players have been less affected as opposed to Tier II and III players on account of the formers' higher bargaining power. Even for those manufacturers, where steel does not form a major part of input, raw materials prices account for 50%-60% of the total sales (tyres, for instance). So, investors have to monitor prices of steel, rubber and petrochemicals, which are key inputs.
Apart from raw material prices, salaries and wages is the other important expense head for an auto ancillary company. These typically tend to be on the higher side (10%-12% of sales) if the operations of the company are more labor intensive, whereas for companies with a high degree of automation, the same stands at 5%-6% of the total sales of the company.
For a company, where exports form a significant part of total revenues or where most of the inputs are imported, exchange rate prevailing in the markets also tend to affect the operating margins of an auto ancillary player. Apart from these, asset turnover ratio, return on assets and working capital to sales are other factors that a investors should compare for investment purposes.
Thus, having broadly looked at the parameters that determine the profitability of an auto ancillary company, we now have a look at what kind of valuations should an auto ancillary company command.
The fortunes of auto ancillary companies are linked to the fortunes of the auto industry and as a result the bargaining power stands considerably reduced. Thus, these companies have little leeway in improving their topline performance by raising prices. The onus of improving profitability therefore falls on cost reduction measures and effective deployment of funds. Hence we feel that P/E multiple is an important metric in evaluating the performance of a company from this sector. Companies that cater to domestic market deserve a lower P/E multiple as compared to a company that derives a significant share from export markets.

Ohio Statue Controversial
AP, March 27, 2006
COLUMBUS — He portrayed blacks as savages and supported the rights of southern slave owners.
The attitudes of William Allen, a 19th century congressman from Ohio who later served as governor, reflect poorly on the state, according to some 21st century lawmakers who want his statue removed from the National Statuary Hall, a large, semicircular room in the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., that honors historic figures from each state.
An Ohio Senate committee unanimously passed a bill last week that would start the process of replacing Allen, one of two Ohioans representing the state. Ohio donated Allen's statue to the Capitol's collection in 1887, where it joined that of James Garfield, the nation's 20th president, who was assassinated in 1881.
Even by the standards of his time, some of Allen's comments during his lifetime were vitriolic and racist, said Doreen Uhas-Sauer, project director of the Annenberg Civic Education Initiative in the Columbus Public Schools.
"Slavery is not the cause of the war; it is the intermeddling of the northern fanatics with the rights and property of the people of the South," Allen said at a political rally in 1863, two years after the start of the Civil War.
