LM Blog Tour: Questions answered!
By Andrea J. Buchanan
Welcome to week two of the Blog Book Tour for the Literary Mama anthology! Look for posts today from This Mom, Gayle Brandeis, Martha Brockenbrough, and Melanie Lynne Hauser.
In the meantime, today I'm answering the first of my reader-submitted questions about Literary Mama and the LM anthology. These questions come from fellow Seal Press author and good friend Miriam Peskowitz.
Why should mothers read literature? Isn't nuts-and-bolts, how-to parent writing enough?
Good question! But to me, in a way, that's like asking, "Why eat fruit? Isn't eating grains and vegetables and protein enough?" As an avid reader, I can't imagine a life without reading, and even though motherhood has compressed my available "free time" to an incredible degree, I find myself needing good literature now more than ever. And when I say "good," I don't mean lofty, or Important, or boring, or academic, or literary, or whatever adjectives people like to use to describe books that seem more like assignments than enjoyments; I just mean works that lift me out of my own life. As a mother, alternately plunged into the most mundane and most vital aspects of existence, reading books is a window out of and into my busy, complicated, boring (and when you think about it pretty incredible) life.
As to the question of nuts-and-bolts, how-to writing about parenting – sure, that is good to read. It's always enlightening to see how other people accomplish the practical aspects of motherhood. (For a great recent entry into the "-hacker.com" Web 2.0 fray, see ParentHacks, a compilation of quirky, practical, creative, and sometimes hilarious tips from random parents.) But that kind of glossy magazine stuff can be addictive for me – in a bad way. I find myself too easily getting sucked into the idea that there is some kind of definitive solution to whatever problem is facing me, and that if I could JUST. TRY. HARD ENOUGH. I could be the best parent ever. Of course, this is designed to fail. And for me, that kind of "quest to be the best" is very toxic. It makes me anxious, it makes me feel bad about myself, and it makes me rigid. When in reality, parenting is dynamic and fluid and ever-changing. So I like to balance out the advice writing – which certainly has its place, and which is very comforting to me in small doses on certain subjects – with the kind of writing I find in literature.
What's the literary in Literary Mama?
The "literary" in Literary Mama is just what I described above: the willingness to explore more than just the prescriptive, to imagine a multitude of ways to approach a subject, and to engage that subject in writing. Do you have to be a writer to enjoy Literary Mama? No – but I'm guessing you probably have to be a reader. Or at the very least, someone who is interested in reading. "Literary," I know, sometimes scares people off – what, are these a bunch of smartypants, high-falutin' snobs who would sooner die than read a book with a pair of stiletto heels on the front? I can assure you that we at Literary Mama are equal opportunity readers who enjoy everything from chick lit to memoir to screenplay to literary fiction and everything in between. The Literary in Literary Mama is about making mother-writing count as "real writing," as writing that matters. And if you care about that — and about reading that kind of writing — then you're a literary mama.
Literary Mama's editor-in-chief, Amy Hudock, also chimes in with an answer to Miriam's first question about why literature about motherhood is important:
All literature is about story-telling, about sharing what is
inside with the outside world. Traditionally, people would share what
they were feeling and experiencing through stories so that they would
not feel so alone. The tribe would gather, and stories would be sung,
performed, acted out or spoken so that all could know what was going on in the hearts and minds of the people they lived with. Now that we
have the printed word so readily available, we can still engage in that kind of sharing — but through reading that reveals more than how to do something. When I became a mother, I wanted to read what other mothers felt, how their lives had changed, what they had learned about the world and themselves through motherhood. I wanted to know what was
going on in the inside of other mothers so I could better understand what was going on in me. That is why I read literature about motherhood. That may be why other mothers do, too.

After another year of meeting many interesting people, I took the time to list some of my learnings. I usually keep some of my notes in my Google Keep, but I thought it could be useful to share some of them more publicly. These are in no way best practices or even accepted practices for all I know. At best, these are my personal mental notes based on mistakes and learnings.
Cash is king for a starting company. Any other metric is just vanity. The only stable barometer for success is what's on your bottom line and on your bank account. I don't care if you have millions of users while you're bleeding money like crazy.
Accept that you'll do many things that don't scale in the beginning. Learn about your customers and business first, so that often means doing manual stuff. Don't create a license management backend until you are down to sleeping four hours because you have to manually create licenses for customers. Then automate.
The job of a new CEO is to get rid of the old one. It often gets messy. That's life. Be proud this person found it worthwhile fighting to absorb your position. It means you achieved something. Anything worth fighting over is worth being proud of.
If you are not having sales and distribution front and center, you will fail. Building a product is the easy part. Shipping it and getting people to pay for it, is where the magic begins, and ends. Done.
Always be closing. If you're not closing, then you're just mucking around. Hammer the phones, email, LinkedIn and other prospecting tools. Only stop until people beg you to stop contacting them. Until you're getting a "no", you don't quit. You adapt and try again, until you succeed.
Learn to properly qualify your leads. Sales is part magic, and part data. A good sales person has charisma. Sure. But he also knows the product, and he knows how to qualify the leads he's working on. If you are not in the room with the person that has the budget, authority and appetite to buy, then you're in the wrong room.
Develop a sense of urgency. There is no better time than the present time. Every second you are not calling prospects, your competitor is. Every minute you're not busy selling, or developing, is a minute you can never recover from.
Accept the fact you'll forget things. If everything is moving so quickly, accept that you will not be able to keep up with things. That's OK. The more important things tend to float to the top anyway.
Always bet on the jockey. Never on the horse. If you invest. Primarily, invest in people. A mediocre business with a dedicated founder, might yield more success than an idiot in a bull market.
You are always entitled to change your opinion. As your experience gives you more data points on a previously made assumption, you are entitled to change your opinion. Much like a scientific approach. Usually, people on the receiving end of changed opinions call this behavior "dishonest". Don't bother them.
If you don't have enemies, go make some. Be controversial. Be brash. Be bold. Show disdain for the status quo. Don't temper your passion. If you like to swear, then swear. If you are angry, be furious. Don't compromise on your opinions. Success is measured by the number of opponents you have, not by your number of friends.
Until you had your first life-or-death experience, you can't trust your team. If things go well, it's easy to play nice. It's only until you're pitted against imminent failure that you'll learn the beautiful and ugly parts of your team; and yourself.
Have a minimum of knowledge about business and finance. If you can't read your balance sheet or interpret your finances, you're going to end up cheated or broke.
Good vibes and honest talks is what builds epic founding teams. If you don't dare telling your co-founder(s) that you want the title of CEO because you like to shine, then you're not having honest discussions. Dare to be vulnerable.
Don't work with people that want to use consultants for everything. If you're not willing or able to do the work yourself, you shouldn't be in this game to begin with.
Don't work with people that are poor. If you're joining two poor people, you'll be the third. Make sure you only work with founders that have more or less the same level of risk appetite and financial buffer to back up that risk.
Don't work with people that are unfocused. They will take you on a rollercoaster of great ideas, but never execute on them.
Call out lies. Hyperbole speech, hustling and sales precedes the truth now and then. But there is a distinct line between lying and hustling. Just don't tolerate liars.
Don't try to be nice, try to be fair. Being nice won't get you anywhere in business. Being fair will. Trying to do nice to everybody is the surest path of having your integrity compromised and being considered a douche in the long run anyway. If you want to be liked by many, go sell ice cream.
Choose people that are smarter than you. Every time. If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room.
Choose people that want to be in the trenches. Ask for battle scars. And while you don't always need veterans to win wars, you need willingness to accept all the consequences of hardship that come with being in the trenches.
A founder is the first in and last out. You set the tone. You set the pace. You can't expect your team to commit if you're not bleeding yourself.
Choose balance sheets over PR every time. You don't need PR. You need clients. Journalists are just looking to score clicks. Either on your success, or on your failure. Let your balance sheet speak louder than your lofty promises.
You only win the Olympics by winning a lot of local games. It's OK to work on that long-term partnership. It's OK to get into political lobby. It's OK to work on an major account. As long as your primary goal is to balance this out with fast closers and cash generators.
You only get rich by selling early. Hoping to get a better deal might often end up in having no deal at all. If the bid is right, just sell. Don't let it get to your head. Selling means you get the opportunity to start something new again.
Return to your hometown every quarter. Spend time at the bars and restaurants you used to spend time at. Talk to the people you haven't seen for a long while. Escape your startup-life. Escape your ego. Look around you and realize how normal you are. Enjoy the normality of life. It's a great balance to the mind.
Be kind. This is not the same as being nice. Being kind means being understanding to someone's situation and remaining neutral to it.
Don't work with people that believe their previous successes are repeatable. Compared to failure, there is no root-cause analysis possible for success. Some people adopt the success-fallacy, as success is not a conditional probability. Don't believe because you were successful before, you're new venture is going to be successful either. You only learn through mistakes. Not successes.
Building a product is not the same as building technology. Building technology happens in your coding environment. Building a product happens in the real world.
Hire fast, fire faster. Quickly working together is the best remedy for getting to know someone. Really. If things don't pan out in the first three months, they will probably never pan out. Then just have a frank talk, and fire. It's going to be better for the both of you. If you let things simmer for too long, the dish gets overcooked.
There is no substitute for humbleness. There is never a reason why to feel deeply superior to others. Ever. There is no reason why you can't forgive.
Raise the bar for your business partners. If you add value to the company at 200%, then your expectation should be 200% of your business partners as well. The problem is, your partner might believe he is at 200% while in reality he's at 50%. Don't accept mediocrity.
Be kind to people that are surviving. But don't work with them. People that are surviving are in a different mindset, are clouded, troubled and are unable to execute as you might. Be helpful, kind and forgiving. Their faith will turn and you might end up with a mighty friend or colleague.


During his joinery career, Shaun has worked on many prestigious projects, and none bigger than the restoration of Windsor Castle, following the Great Fire in 1992.
Whilst previously employed Shaun was part of a small team of highly skilled craftsman who supplied and installed the only new room within the Castle.
This room was originally the Old Private Chapel which was where the fire actually started, this area was transformed into the Lantern Lobby.
This area combines eight grand Oak columns cascading into the central flower feature, encompassing Engel wing carvings within the scheme. Only the highest level of workmanship and grade of materials available was to be used. The Lantern Lobby took over two years to complete from the original design, through to full size mock-up models and finally the completed project.
Having worked on the project throughout all of the stages, from design right through to the site installation, it certainly soon became the highlight of any craftsman's career, which was only to be surpassed by meeting the Queen and the Royal Family at a private function held at the castle, where he and the team were awarded a specially commissioned royal minted medal.

An IEEE standard security protocol for 802.11 wireless networks that was developed to replace the original WEP protocol. Also known as "Robust Security Network" (RSN), 802.11i provides sophisticated authentication using a variety of protocols (802.1X, EAP and RADIUS) and strong security with the AES-CCMP encryption protocol. However, in order to allow in-place upgrading of older WEP hardware, 802.11i also supports the TKIP protocol, which is less robust than AES-CCMP, but far superior to WEP (see WPA for more details).
Wi-Fi Certification
The Wi-Fi Alliance provides certification for 802.11i-compliant products with its Wi-Fi Protected Alliance (WPA) logo program. The WPA and WPA2 logos certify compliance with a subset of 802.11i or the full 802.11i protocol. See WPA.

Last month, I talked about effective ways to search for a dentist online. Using Google and taking a look at their office website is a good start – and for some, it may be enough. However, if you're looking for more in-depth information about a dentist's approach, staff, expertise, etc., (or even if you just want to get to know your current dentist better) using social media is a great way to stay informed, establish a relationship and tap into a meaningful dialogue that's less about one-way marketing and more of a two-way conversation.
Facebook. By "liking" a dentist's Facebook page, you'll have access to regularly posted information about dental innovations, options for improving your smile, oral care tips, links to events, and more. I like to post quick reviews of books I think would benefit my patients, staff news, general dental information, photos of staff retreats, and other things that communicate who we are as people and as a team.
Twitter. Following a dentist's tweets gives you access to all kinds of information, from links to articles and blogs to tips and info. It's kind of like Facebook, just condensed to 140 characters.
Ratings sites. www.ratemds.com is an example of a site where you can go to rate and comment on your experience with your doctor or dentist. It's a valuable resource for people looking for a new health professional – and it's also a good source of feedback for your dentist, who can use it to continuously improve the patient experience.
Blogs. Knowledge is power, and short, info-packed blog postings make it easy for dentists to share their knowledge – and give you the information you need to ensure you're getting the right care. A blog can be about anything, really. I try to answer questions patients ask me, so I've written about everything from dental insurance to anaesthesia options to dentistry for expectant moms.
Not only do all of these sources of information make it easy to find what you need, they allow you to keep the clinic accountable to their online promises. Plus, it's a great way to build trust: by creating a dialogue that goes beyond just treating teeth, you're building a genuine, human relationship that makes every visit a better experience.
Of course, the best way to get to know us is in person. If you have any questions about us, our office or our approach to taking care of our patients, please don't hesitate to call us or visit the office. You can contact us anytime at 905 637-5463 (KIND) or drop us an email at info@desiredsmiles.com . We'd love to hear from you.

Homeopathy can be used for chronic diseases that has persisted for years, as well as for acute illnesses such as colds and flu. Remedies can be kept at the home or in the car to be available in first aid situations! Remedies act not only on physical symptoms but on mental and emotional ones as well so they are very effective in situations such as anxiety, grief and loss, and depression and other.
Homeopaths believe that disease occurs when the vitality of an individual is in disharmony, which results in an impairment in the body's natural ability and power to heal. Homoeopathy boosts this power to expel the disease out of the body in a very natural way.
Homeopathy can provide rapid, powerful and long lasting benefits for adults, elderly and children with physical and emotional health problems and assist in achieving balanced and most efficient state of health.

Homeopathic remedies are safe to use during pregnancy and lactation period. Pregnant women who take Homeopathy during gestation period not only improve their own health, but also pass health benefits to their unborn children, ridding them of predispositions to disease development and resulting in healthier, stronger babies. Often child can share their mother's health condition. Remedies passed along in the breast milk can address problems of mother and baby simultaneously.
Uncategorized conditions: symptoms not outlined by certain "disease categories" such as chronic fatigue, feeling apathetic, loss of life tune and creativity.
 Preventative measure: diminishes the traumatic event in case of anticipated physical, mental strain or encounter with infectious agents decreasing the impact, severity of suffering.

Opinion: Biden's Visit To Small, Rickety Bridge a Perfect Metaphor for His Presidency
Posted to Politics November 16, 2021 by Michael Graham
The Green Bridge in Woodstock, N.H. is not an impressive sight. A small, insignificant structure — it's only 30 feet wide and about half the length of a football field — it isn't economically vital or historically significant.
In other words, it was the perfect place for President Joe Biden.
New Hampshire Public Radio described the Woodstock bridge as "rickety," and that's a pretty good description of the Biden presidency at the moment as well. Everything about Biden's visit to New Hampshire Tuesday, like the sad, little bridge where he gave his speech, felt patched together.
Unfortunately, the $1 trillion in infrastructure spending won't fix that, either.
As a light snow fell around him, Biden stumbled over the names of the candidates he came to boost ("Amy Kuster"), stumbled through the facts he came to pitch and gave the sort of stumbling delivery we've come to expect from a president who turns 79 on Saturday — just three years younger than "red-listed" bridge he came to rescue.
About halfway through his speech, Biden acknowledged the modesty of his message.
"This isn't esoteric. This isn't some gigantic bill," Biden said. "It's about what happens to ordinary people, conversations around kitchen tables — as profound as they are ordinary.
"How do I cross the bridge in a snowstorm?" Biden asked. "No, really — think about it. What happens when the bridge collapses and there's a fire on the other side? It's going to take 10 miles longer to get to the fire. What does it mean if a school bus or logging truck can't cross? I mean, this is real stuff, folks."
If you've listened in to any "conversations around the kitchen table" in New Hampshire lately, it's likely you haven't heard much about ten-mile detours or rickety bridges. Instead, you've probably encountered table-pounding anger over rising prices. Over reports the cost of heating a home in New Hampshire could nearly double this winter. And over the general frustration of dealing with a COVID crisis that President Biden promised to end but instead has mishandled.
Last year, Joe Biden told America, "I'm not going to shut down the country. I'm not going to shut down the economy. I'm going to shut down the virus."
Today, Biden's pushing mandates to get workers fired from their jobs, COVID restrictions are once again on the rise, and the virus isn't close to being "shut down." The president who embraced an FDR-style re-making of America is instead standing in a rural New Hampshire outpost promising a few, small repairs.
This national moment require far more. Inflation hitting 30-year highs is a huge problem that can endanger the entire economy. And while it's not the Great Depression, the "Great Resignation" — Americans quitting their jobs in record numbers amid a worker shortage crisis and supply-chain crunch — is a massive economic threat as well.
But other than the price tag, there was nothing "massive" in Biden's message. There is no obvious connection between the roads, bridges and broadband he was bragging about on the bridge, and the gas prices and empty shelves folks are worrying about back home.
WMUR asked Woodstock resident Guy Hoover about Biden's message.
"I'm paying $4 a gallon for propane, which is $2 a gallon in most places, to heat my home. I'm on a fixed income, I'm on Social Security, and the way things are going right now, I'm going to have to go and get help to heat my home this winter."
Sure, for a small state like New Hampshire, $2 billion in new federal funds is a lot of money. And Granite Staters stuck with lousy cell service will be happy for any improvements.
But nobody in New Hampshire will go to bed tonight worrying about potholes and bridge repairs. Not when inflation is rising faster than wages, and store shelves are as empty as Biden's promises that another trillion or three in federal spending won't send prices even higher. Not to mention 2 million illegal border crossings, the Afghanistan fiasco, the threat from China, etc. etc.
"When you see these projects starting," Biden said as he stood on that small, rickety bridge, "I want you to feel what I feel: pride."
Americans would like to feel that way when they see their president, too.
At the moment, alas, that appears to be a bridge too far.


Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a progressive condition with 5 stages. Knowing your stage of CKD and following your doctor's instructions for eating well and managing any other health conditions, like diabetes or high blood pressure, can help you slow progression and preserve kidney function. Learning all you can about kidney disease and taking steps to manage your physical and emotional health can help you thrive.
Get educated. Learning all you can about CKD will help you make informed treatment decisions. Consider taking our free class.
Plan ahead. Research dialysis treatment options even if you may not need them yet. Know the details of your health insurance coverage. And have a plan for what's next.
Communicate. Talk about how you're feeling—and listen to how your family feels as well. Good communication is vital to coping with CKD. Tough days may happen, but strong support will help get you through them.
Ask for help. To take the best care of yourself, you may need to reach out for more assistance than usual—and that can take some getting used to. If you have questions or feel stuck, talk to your care team. They can help support you and your family with answers.
"This condition didn't happen overnight—you will not understand it overnight. It's a day-to-day learning. Ask questions."
Living with chronic kidney disease is a journey. Many people find diagnosis challenging to accept, embrace and act on, and it's perfectly normal to experience all kinds of emotions—grief, fear, denial, anger, depression or feeling overwhelmed. It's important to recognize that going through those feelings is a process, and remember that there's support available to help you through it.
While taking care of your health is a top priority, there's also room for everything else that's important to you. Staying active and engaged in your social life and hobbies at any stage has big benefits. When it's time to consider treatment for ESRD, choose a treatment option that fits the lifestyle you love.

The CYM 2017 Quaker Study, "Palestine-Israel, Nonviolence, and F/friends" was led by Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta, author of Refusing to be Enemies: Palestinian and Israeli Nonviolent Resistance to the Israeli Occupation (refusingtobeenemiesthebook.wordpress.com). It took place at Ottawa Monthly Meeting on the weekend of October 13-15, 2017.
The study weekend featured a lecture on Friday night by Maxine, a series of workshops throughout Saturday, and a panel discussion on Sunday. From this page, you can watch a playlist of the whole thing – or choose individual videos, grouped by subject.

Saturday Workshops & Reflections
Sunday Panel of Experts
Resources for Further Learning
Maxine's presentation on Palestine-Israel is shown below in five parts.
The first excerpt from Saturday workshops showed some of the reflections, concerns, and hopes that participants shared:
This second excerpt from the Saturday workshops shows some of the participants' reflections on the documentary O Little Town of Bethlehem. This film gives in-depth profiles of three nonviolent activists in Israel-Palestine: one Jewish, one Christian, and one Muslim.
The third workshop discussed "Solidarity or Joint Struggle."
The final Saturday workshop tackled "Normalization & the Pitfalls of Dialogue."
Sunday's panel on Palestine-Israel is shown below in nine parts, broken down by presenter.
Those wanting to learn more on Palestine-Israel should look into these select resources recommended by Maxine.
Popular Resistance in Palestine: A History of Hope and Empowerment by Mazin Qumsiyeh (Pluto Press, 2011). A summary of Qumsiyeh's important book is at qumsiyeh.org/popularresistanceinpalestine
The Politics of Protest: The Israeli Peace Movement and the Palestinian Intifada by Reuven Kaminer (Sussex Academic Press 1996). Written by an Israeli historian who is also a long-time activist, this thorough examination of Israeli peace groups active during the first intifada includes several accounts of nonviolent actions and analysis of the "family feud" between the more politically-engaged or militant "critical left" and its more "moderate" sister groups.
The Road Map to Nowhere: Israel/Palestine since 2003 by Tanya Reinhart (Verso Books, 2006). As the title suggests, this book is mainly about how "under cover of diplomatic successes, Israel is using the road map to strengthen its grip on the remaining occupied territories." The final chapter gives a fascinating and detailed account of the first three years of Palestinian-led joint nonviolent struggle centred on the apartheid wall in the West Bank.
Refusing to be Enemies: Palestinian and Israeli Nonviolent Resistance to the Israeli Occupation by Maxine Kaufman-Lacusta (Ithaca Press, 2011). This book is an interview-based study that presents the voices of over 100 practitioners and theorists of nonviolence, the vast majority of them either Palestinian or Israeli. They reflect on their own involvement in nonviolent resistance and speak about the nonviolent strategies and tactics employed by Palestinian and Israeli organizations, both separately and in joint initiatives.
Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions? A Quaker Zionist Rethinks Palestinian Rights by Steve Chase (Pendle Hill Pamphlets, 2017). A review in the October 2017 Friends Journal concludes: "If you feel compelled to back the Israeli state as an essential protector of the Jewish people, read this pamphlet, from someone who knows and emphasizes with your perspective, to probe further into the complex story of Zionism. If you have firmly thrown your lot in with the Palestinians, read to better understand the history and nuance of Zionism and to keep from the tendency to demonize Jews. If you are deeply perplexed about the whole conflict, take this opportunity to travel with a clear-headed and compassionate Quaker who has committed to a journey through this challenging territory toward ever-greater integrity and truth."
Little Town of Bethlehem tells the story of three men: an Israeli fighter pilot, a Christian Palestinian, and a Muslim Palestinian who all adopt the route of nonviolent resistance. littletownofbethlehem.org
Budrus is an award-winning feature documentary film about the unarmed movement to save the village of Budrus from destruction by Israel's Separation Barrier. www.justvision.org/budrus
The Wanted 18 incorporates live action footage with stop motion animation to tell the curious story of 18 cows who became symbol of freedom and resistance, providing milk for the Palestinian residents of Beit Sahour so that they would not rely on Israeli producers. Soon the illegal cows, cherished by the Palestinians, were being sought by the Israeli army as a threat to security. streamingmoviesright.com/us/movie/the-wanted-18

Bangladeshi paralysed in work accident gets $600,000
Mr Tarun, who has to use a wheelchair, is an only son who now lives with his elderly parents in a village 300km from Dhaka. PHOTO: LIANHE ZAOBAO
http://str.sg/4UbG
He suffered spinal injuries after forklift hit him and now needs nurse to help him daily
K.C. Vijayan
Senior Law Correspondent
vijayan@sph.com.sg
A Bangladeshi construction worker paralysed after a worksite accident was awarded about $600,000 in damages and costs by the High Court yesterday.
Mr Tarun Kumar Saha Manoj Kumar Saha, 32, suffered spinal injuries after he was knocked down from behind by a reversing forklift on Feb 3, 2013.
Deployed to do general renovation works at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, he was dealing with the driver of a crane, which was running, so he could not hear the vehicle reversing towards him.
Thrown a metre by the impact, he was taken to Tan Tock Seng Hospital, where he had surgery to stabilise his fractured spine and right ankle.
Mr Tarun also received psychiatric treatment at the hospital, underwent rehabilitation and and was discharged into a private nursing home some two months later.
Through his lawyer, Mr Pritam Singh Gill, he sued his employer, sub- contractor Choon Construction, and the main site contractor, Hup Yew Sen Construction, for negligence.
The defendants, whose lawyers were from United Legal Alliance, at first argued that Mr Tarun was partly, if not wholly, to blame. But in October last year, both contractors accepted 85 per cent liability, leaving the sums payable to be assessed.
After a two-day assessment hearing, which ended yesterday, Judicial Commissioner Valerie Thean ordered that Mr Tarun be paid $323,700 for pain, suffering and loss of future earnings and $225,721 to meet medical expenses, contingencies and costs of appliances and materials for continued care.
The judge awarded another $50,000 in legal costs.
For Mr Tarun, the compensation was small comfort.
"Got money, but cannot do anything," he told The Straits Times.
He came to Singapore in 2010, and moved up from construction worker to become an assistant to the site supervisor.
He was an active sportsman, and had plans to marry, but his fiancee left him when he became disabled.
Mr Tarun said when doctors first told him he was permanently paralysed, he was devastated. He thought of suicide.
An only son and sole breadwinner, he now lives with his parents, aged 75 and 70, in their village home some 300km from Dhaka.
He said: "My parents became depressed when they saw me in a wheelchair. I was still depressed but kept it to myself. I pretended to give them confidence as I knew if I showed them that I was sad, they could go into deep depression and become sick."
He needs a male nurse, who goes to the house daily to attend to him.
He left for Dhaka last night. "My village is not like Singapore. Not much a handicap can do or go to."

The Battalion's story from formation in Ireland to active service at Gallipoli and in the Macedonian theatre in 1915The 5th Connaught Rangers began life in Galway, the regimental Depot, on the west coast of Ireland but soon moved to Dublin where the drafts to make up the battalion began to arrive. The battalion officially came into existence as the 5th Battalion on 19 August 1914 under the command of Lt Col H.F.N. Jourdain who remained in command throughout the period covered in this book. The first chapter describes the build-up in great detail, giving the names of every officer and the date of arrival, and the dates of arrival of each draft and its strength. The battalion was allocated to 29th Brigade, 10th (Irish) Division, the first Irish division in the history of the British Army, composed of battalions of all the Irish line regiments. After preliminary training in Ireland the division moved to England in May 1915, concentrating in the Basingstoke area and in July it embarked for Gallipoli. The battalion, with 29th Brigade, landed at Anzac Cove on the morning of 6th August, attached to the Anzac Corps, and thereafter took part in several actions, Lone Pine, Chunak Bair and the attack on Hill 60 (27th-29th August) which involved severe, hand-to-hand fighting. At the end of September the 10th Division was withdrawn prior to transfer to the Macedonian front. The battalion left Gallipoli on 29th September some seven weeks after landing, during that period it incurred 684 casualties (220 dead) out of an original embarkation strength of 975. On 10th October 1915 the battalion arrived at Salonika and about a month later the division advanced into Serbia and Bulgaria. Operations were conducted in rugged, inhospitable country, in freezing cold (on one occasion even the greatcoats were frozen stiff) and against a tough enemy. Fighting was particularly savage at Kosturino which cost the battalion well over 500 casualties – nearly 150 invalided with frost-bite. By the end of the year the division had fallen back to Salonika. This is a very detailed record of the battalion's activities with frequent strength states, casualty lists with officers named as well as names of those joining. A table at the end of the book summarises the casualties from July 1915 to January 1916, they total 1,219. (Publisher).

Wa Lone, 32 and Kyaw Soe Oo, 28, were convicted by a lower court in September in a landmark case that has raised questions about Myanmar's progress towards democracy and sparked an outcry from diplomats and human rights advocates.
"Today's ruling is yet another injustice among many inflicted upon Wa Lone and Kyaw Soe Oo. They remain behind bars for one reason: those in power sought to silence the truth," said Reuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen J. Adler in a statement.
"Reporting is not a crime and until Myanmar rights this terrible wrong, the press in Myanmar is not free and Myanmar's commitment to rule of law and democracy remains in doubt."


"Help, I forgot my iTunes password, what can I do to reset it?" Though people need to use iTunes password frequently, they do forget it sometimes, and that can pose a number of problems. For example, you are not able to log into your iTunes account and purchase any apps, music or films. Is it possible to reset iTunes password? The answer is a little complicated depending on your situations. To help you achieve iTunes password reset easily, we are going to share multiple solutions in this tutorial. If you cannot remember your iTunes password exactly, you can try our solutions.
Part 1: What is iTunes password?
First of all, it is necessary to know what iTunes password is. This may help you remember your password immediately.
Generally speaking, iTunes password is the same with your Apple ID password and iCloud password, instead of iTunes backup password.
When you bought an iDevice, Apple would ask you to set up your device with an Apple account, including Apple ID and password, which is the key to log in iTunes and iCloud at the same time. In other words, if you still remember your Apple ID password or iCloud password, it is your iTunes password.
On the other hand, you should distinguish iTunes password from iTunes encrypted backup password. Backing up iPhone is one of the important features of iTunes. And it allows people to password protect iPhone backups. But it is different with your iTunes password. And you can set different password to each iTunes backup. After encrypted, the iTunes backup will be marked with a lock.
Next, we will discuss how to reset iTunes password or recover iTunes backup password in detail.
When people sign up Apple ID, they are asked to select three security questions and leave personal answers. The security questions are able to help you get iTunes password reset.
Step 1. Access iforgot.apple.com in any browser, drop the Apple ID associated with your iTunes password, then put the "Captcha code" showing in the image into the box to confirm you are not robot.
Tip: Make sure to disable two-step verification. Otherwise, you will be presented with the corresponding page.
Step 2. Select "need to reset my password" option and click "Continue" to open the next page, then select "Answer security questions" and input your answer to each security question.
Step 3. Once click the "Continue" button, you will be taken to the iTunes password reset page. Here enter and re-enter your new password and click "Reset password" to confirm the changes.
Another way of iTunes password reset is primary email. If you do not remember your security questions or exact answers, this way is convenient to reset iTunes password directly.
Step 1. Access Apple login page and click the link labeled "Forgot Apple ID or password" to start resetting iTunes password.
Step 2. Follow the onscreen guide until you see "how do you want to reset your password". Select the "Get an email" option and click Continue to open the next page.
Step 3. Open a new tab in your browser and sign in your primary email address. Check the mail from Apple and click the link to redirect to password reset page. Reset iTunes password and re-sign in your Apple ID and iCloud on your device.
According to Apple, two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security for your Apple ID, iCloud account and iTunes account. Also, it is a way to reset iTunes.
Step 1. Open iforgot.apple.com in your browser, drop your Apple ID and click "Continue" to move on. Apple will request your phone number if you have set up two-factor authentication.
Step 2. Put your phone number into the box and click "Continue". Then you will receive the notification on your trusted device. Tap "Allow" when prompted on your device, enter your PIN code and then input a new iTunes password.
Step 3. After iTunes password reset, you have to sign out your Apple ID and iCloud; and resign in on your device.
If you cannot remember the password for your encrypted backup, iOS 11 is able to disable it by resetting.
Step 1. Unlock your device running iOS 11 and later when you forgot iTunes backup password.
Step 2. Go to "Settings"> "General" > "Reset" and select "Reset All Settings and Content" on the list. Then iOS will start reset settings like brightness, Home screen layout and wallpaper. More impotently, it will remove your encrypted backup password.
Step 3. Then you can connect your device to iTunes and create an encrypted backup again.
Note: This way is only available to iOS 11 and later.
There are some third party tools, such as iSeePassword, which has the ability to recover iTunes backup password.
Step 1. Launch the iTunes password recovery tool, and press the Import button to load the encrypted backup file. Select the backup file you forgot password and click "Next".
Step 2. There are three attack types available, "Brute-Force Attack" or "Brute-force with Mask Attack". Select any one you prefer to and click "Next". Step 3: Follow the on-screen guides and click "OK" to start the iTunes password reset process.
1. Recover data from iOS devices, iCloud backup and iTunes backup in one click.
2. Preview iTunes backup and select specific data for recovery and restore.
3. Get back lost data to computers or iOS devices in original conditions.
4. Support all iDevices, including iPhone X/8/8 Plus/7/7 Plus and earlier running iOS 11/10/9.
5. Compatible with Windows 10/8/8.1/7/XP and Mac OS.
In short, iPhone Data Recovery is the best way to recover and restore data from iTunes backup.
Based on the tutorial above, you might understand how to achieve iTunes password reset now. There are at least three ways to reset a new one when you forgot iTunes password, primary email, security questions and answers, and two-factor authentication. You can pick up an appropriate method and follow our guides to reset iTunes password. On the other hand, we also shared what you should do when you forgot iTunes backup password. Finally, we have introduced the best Apeaksoft iPhone Data Recovery tool to get back lost data from iTunes backup.

IHG Opens 600th Hotel in China
InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®) announced the opening of its 600th hotel in Greater China with the debut of Kimpton Bamboo Grove Suzhou.
As another significant growth milestone in its fastest-growing market globally, the opening further strengthens IHG's industry-leading position, demonstrates its long-standing commitments to the Greater China market, and is a true testament to the strength of IHG's collaborative efforts with its owners.
IHG has been deeply rooted in Greater China for 38 years since the first Holiday Inn hotel opened in Beijing. As one of the first international hotel companies to enter Greater China, IHG has since been committed to its "In China, For China" strategy, empowering the rapid development of the Chinese hospitality industry while achieving remarkable success with continued local investments.
Jolyon Bulley, Chief Executive Officer, IHG Greater China, commented: "Greater China remains our second largest market and a future growth engine for our global business. While Covid-related travel restrictions had posed challenges to the travel and hospitality industry, the market showed strong resilience and growth opportunities stimulated by favorable policies, including the 14th Five-Year Tourism Development Plan. With IHG's formidable global expertise and profound insights into the local market, we are confident in Greater China's huge market potential and long-range success."
By the middle of July 2022, IHG Greater China's RevPAR recovered to over 80% of the same period in 2019, with Western and Southern China exceeding 2019 numbers, while Eastern and Northern China were restored to 60% and 70%.
Daniel Aylmer, Managing Director, IHG Greater China, remarked: "Greater China has become IHG's fastest-growing market worldwide with over 1,000 hotels opened and in pipeline. We have highly localized our operating models – underpinned by attractive industry fundamentals, a diverse portfolio of beloved brands, and cutting-edge digital innovation – which have all contributed to IHG's steady expansion in Greater China. We also want to thank our owners for their continued trust and support that has fostered our mutual success even in the most turbulent times."
As a leading global hotel franchisor, IHG was one of the first international hotel companies to introduce the franchise model to Greater China. The company has since implemented franchising as a high return-on-investment alternative to its successful managed model as the industry has matured, and as relationships have deepened with hotel developers and owners.
In 2016, IHG launched the innovative "Franchise Plus" model for Holiday Inn Express in China and expanded franchising to Holiday Inn and Crowne Plaza the year after. It was an immediate success and achieved the 100th franchise milestone within just three years. Now, IHG is about to witness its 200th franchise milestone, building momentum with 16 new franchise deals that have been signed for Crowne Plaza in the first half of 2022.
Committed to delivering True Hospitality for Good for its guests, owners, employees, and communities in Greater China, IHG has doubled down on investments in deploying new brands and hotel designs, digital transformation, and hotel service training to improve guest experiences and deliver stronger owner returns. As of the first half of 2022, there are 12 IHG brands with expansive footprints in more than 200 cities in Greater China.
As IHG continues to sign and convert landmark properties in coveted first- and second-tier cities, its development pipeline has been closely following China's national development strategy and regional policies, with a special focus on the Greater Bay Area and the rising tourism cities in the western region. This has seen to recent strategic signings such as the Regent Shenzhen Bay and the Holiday Inn Resort at Kanas Hemu, a rapidly growing ski resort. In the first half of 2022, IHG signed 53 hotels (approximately 11,100 rooms) in Greater China and expects another 469 in the pipeline.

Facilities and Grounds Management
Section: General Index: H-7
Subject: Facilities And Grounds Management
The Facilities Services Department will provide safe, clean, attractive, and functional facilities and grounds creating an environment that contributes significantly in meeting the University's overall mission. Facilities Services personnel will maintain activities that will accomplish these objectives:
regular preventive maintenance to operate facilities in an efficient and effective manner;
protection of property and the health and safety of the user community; and
availability of facilities and grounds to the public which present an attractive appearance.
The Department of Facilities Services receives a budget each fiscal year from the University and allocates these funds through the office of Facilities Services according to greatest need. University maintenance funds are used in completing scheduled preventative maintenance to buildings and infrastructure as well as unscheduled maintenance caused by infrastructure failures. Maintenance schedules are maintained in the Office of Facilities Services.
Maintenance - Maintenance is defined as work necessary to maintain the original, anticipated useful life of a fixed asset.
Unscheduled maintenance - Unscheduled maintenance can be defined as the maintenance which is required when an item has failed or worn out.
Preventive Maintenance - Activities designed to avoid breakdowns and subsequent service interruptions through proactive actions and to maintain the original, anticipated useful life of a fixed asset or equipment system. Includes periodic or occasional inspection, adjustment, lubrication cleaning, (non-janitorial), painting replacement of parts, minor repairs and other activities to prolong service and prevent unscheduled breakdowns.
Deferred maintenance - Maintenance that is postponed for completion as a result of a shortage of funds, parts availability, scheduling conflicts or similar reasons. This type of maintenance is usually carried forward for completion the next fiscal year.
Routine maintenance - All activities that maintain facilities and equipment in good working order so that a system can perform as intended (e.g. replacement of light bulbs, (cleaning of drains, repairing leaks).
Long term capital improvements - Major, usually expensive, maintenance projects that are not budgeted as part of the normal maintenance including such projects as roof replacements, parking lot resurfacing, HVAC Systems replacement, utility service upgrades, and life safety upgrades. These are requested during each budget cycle and are usually one-time funded.
Emergency Request - Maintenance caused by an infrastructure failure that could or will result in damage to property or injury to persons unless attended to immediately. Emergencies include water leaks, elevator malfunctions, electrical circuit shorts, strong odors that may indicate a potential fire hazard, etc.
The Director of Facilities Services shall oversee the management of buildings and grounds through communication with and direction of custodial, maintenance, and grounds supervisors and in accordance with established maintenance schedules.
Use of Contract Services
Infrastructure services should be contracted to outside services, when possible, and if in the best interest of the University. When contracting for services, purchasing department procedures shall be followed.

Katrina Kubicek is a medical anthropologist and is currently the Associate Director of the Community, Health Outcomes, and Intervention Research (CHOIR) Program at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. She also co-directs the Community Engagement program of the Southern California Clinical and Translational Science Institute (SC CTSI) at the University of Southern California. She received her doctorate in Health Behavior Research from the Department of Preventive Medicine at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California. Her training as a medical anthropologist provides a unique lens in which to view research and take into account the many cultural and social influences on individuals' health and well-being, integral to unpacking issues impacting health disparities locally and globally. Her work has included serving as the Ethnographer on a number of National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded studies over the past ten years which involved working closely with diverse communities such as young gay and bisexual men in examining HIV risks in urban populations, the House and Ball communities of Los Angeles and promotoras de salud in providing evidence-based guidelines to support cardiovascular health in urban and rural Latino communities. Her particular research focus includes understanding the dynamics of intimate partner violence among young gay and bisexual men as well as examining the societal and structural barriers to HIV prevention and care for young men of color in urban settings. She has had the opportunity to work side by side with some of the most diverse communities in the world and these experiences continue to inform her work as well as the research of colleagues and other faculty at USC and CHLA. Without these relationships, her research agenda would not be as vast and applicable to the many different health conditions affecting our diverse communities.

Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho has set his sights on adding more assists to his game following his recent goal-scoring form.
The Brazil international has netted three goals in his last two games, netting the Reds' sole goal in the 2-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
Liverpool's striker struggles have been well documented, with injuries claiming two front men, while the remaining two are still settling in at the club.
And Coutinho believes he can help Christian Benteke and Divock Origi settle at the club by providing them with ammunition to score more goals, but insists that working on an understanding in training will be crucial.
"I have to adapt to them, but it's not only me who must do this," he told the official Liverpool FC magazine. "When you get new players, especially strikers, it is the job of all of the team to give them the service they need.
"I have to learn whether it is right to play a fast ball or a pass along the ground, depending on who I am playing the ball to.
"The training sessions are very, very important for this adaptation process to happen. We work on this every day in training and the sessions are very intense.
"If we're not doing it right, or something isn't working, we do it again and again until we get it right. The more you train with your teammates, the more you learn about each other and this is important for the team to do well."

De Mepperdennen betreft een met grove dennen en eiken bebost stuifzandgebied gelegen ten westen van het dorp Meppen in de provincie Drenthe. Het gebied is eind 19e eeuw aangelegd om het dorp en de omringende landerijen tegen stuivend zand te beschermen.

De Mepperdennen is deels in eigendom van Staatsbosbeheer en deels in particulier eigendom. Oorspronkelijk was dit in eigendom van de Boermarke van Meppen. Toen de marke werd opgeheven, kreeg iedere markegenoot een stuk toegewezen ter grootte van zijn waardeel.

In de Mepperdennen bevindt zich een ven met de naam het Meeuwenveen en een grote zandduin met de naam de Paasheuvel. Tot in de jaren 1970 kwamen hier de (hervormde) bewoners van Meppen samen elkaar te ontmoeten en te spelen, om eieren te eten en vaak ermee te gooien. De gereformeerden kwamen tezamen op een plek iets verder in het bos. De Paasheuvel is niet meer toegankelijk, omdat het op het afgesloten terrein van het Vakantieoord de Bronzen Emmer ligt.

In het noordoostelijke deel van het bos lag het Twientiesveen, dat later is ingericht als ijsbaan. Aan de oostzijde van de Middendorpsstraat ligt het natuurgebied De Palms.

I am so excited and honored to announce I will be speaking on a panel at SXSW entitled Sustainability and Ethics in Fashion Technology alongside 3 other incredible women. If you will be attending please stop by the panel, reach out, and say hello!
If you don't know what SXSW is, take a minute to google it. It is attended by over 400,000 people and is notorious for helping to launch up and coming creatives into the mainstream. Household names like twitter, foursquare, John Mayer, Kid Cudi, James Blunt, Ellie Goulding, and even Amy Winehouse all got their start on the SXSW stage.
This years speakers include Mark Cuban, Dr. Fei-Fei Li (chief scientist at Google cloud), Alex Rodriguez (former New York Yankee, and one of the greatest players in the history of baseball), Keith Urban, Darren Aronofsky (director of Black Swan, and Requiem for a Dream), Academy Award winner Barry Jenkins, and Mayor of London - Sadiq Khan… so we will be in good company.
Thanks to Facebook, love it or hate it, shared adolescent acquaintances are never really forgotten. I noticed Mia Merrill, fellow Rye High Class of '05 graduate, had been posting about her company The Candid Entrepreneur, a platform that explores the opinions of industry innovators and leaders. Despite not having seen each other since high school, over 10 years ago, I decided to reach out, because as most of you know, I have A LOT to say about the fashion industry and I liked what she was doing. We met, caught up, and started working on our SXSW application that evening.
Despite marked advancements and increased access to "friendlier fashion," consumers remain in the dark about the manufacturing process. In short, not much has changed in the fashion supply chain over the decades. This panel will discuss the continued harsh realities of overseas manufacturing and spotlight the innovators and entrepreneurs who are dedicating their efforts to reinventing the fashion industry and are revolutionizing sustainability within the industry.
The panel will be lead and moderated by Mia Merrill of the Candid Entrepreneur. Expert industry speakers will include Dr. Carmen Hijosa of Pinatex, Amanda Parkes of NYC Fashion Tech, and me, Melanie DiSalvo.
Melanie DiSalvo began her fashion career in product development after graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology's Textile Development and Marketing program. DiSalvo has spent much of her career in fabric mills and clothing factories overseas, managing supply chains and developing performance and price based products for customers, including Eileen Fisher, Rag & Bone, Ralph Lauren, Marc Jacobs, AG Jeans, Walmart, Target, Macy's, Hunter Boot, Alex Mills by Alex Drexler, Nili Lotan, and others. DiSalvo focuses specifically on the intersection of fashion and manufacturing in third world countries, which she uses to foster partnerships with American brands and overseas suppliers. After being exposed to the harsh realities of overseas manufacturing, DiSalvo founded the ethical and sustainable clothing line, virtue + vice, and independently consults with start-ups and other brands to help create more environmentally friendly supply chains.
Originally from Spain, Dr. Hijosa has a track record in the design and manufacturing of leather goods, selling through her own company and supplying key retail outlets such as Harrods and Liberties in London. While working in the Philippines as a consultant to the Product Development and Design Center of the Philippines in the '90s, Dr Hijosa became aware of the qualities of pineapple leaf fibres and began to explore possible ways to develop a new textile material that could be used as an alternative to leather and petroleum-based textiles.
As written in the Huffington Post, it took around 7 years to develop, what is now Pinatex. A strong and sustainable textile, that can be used in everything from bags to furniture. Even shoe companies like Puma and Camper have made prototypes with the textile. What started as an alternative to leather, have become its own product.
Carmen believes that there is a place for Pinatex in the world, right between leather and petroleum based textiles.
Dr. Amanda Parkes is a fashion technologist with over 12 years of experience in wearable technology, interaction design, smart materials and fashion innovation. She is the Chief Innovation Officer of FTL Ventures, a hybrid investment fund, agency and experimental lab focused on the future of sustainable and interactive fashion. Her perspective focuses on combining smart textiles, wearable tech, fiber science, material science, and nanotechnology with the strategic development issues around building hybrid fashion-technology businesses. She is the former Chief of Technology and Research at Manufacture NY and the Founder of Skinteractive Studio, a fashion tech studio working with startups including Thesis Couture, Dropel Fabrics, Kenzen, Mycoworks and Wonderwoof, and with past clients including Google, Intel, and Ringly. As an academic, she is appointed as a Visiting Scientist at the MIT Media Lab and an Adjunct Professor in the Columbia University Department of Architecture. She received a PhD & M.S. in Tangible Media from the MIT Media Lab and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Product Design) and a B.A. in Art History from Stanford University. She is an international speaker & lecturer including TED, DLD, CES, PSFK, the World Economic Forum and the New York Times International Luxury Conference; her design work has been awarded in forums including the ID Magazine Annual Design Review, the Prix Ars Electronica, and the D&AD Awards. She was named to the Business of Fashion 500 People Shaping the Global Fashion Industry List, Vanity Fair's 8 Wildest Women of Silicon Valley and as one of Alleywatch's 10 Most Influential People in Fashion Technology. Outside the lab she likes to surf, scuba, sew, and amass exquisite shoes.
Mia Merrill graduated from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study and received her Masters from Columbia University, with a concentration in Social Enterprise Administration. By nature of living in NYC, Mia was exposed to a variety of entrepreneurs - everything from bodega owners to million dollar tech start-ups - and was lucky enough to get involved with Interplay Ventures upon graduating from her masters program. As Director of Talent at Interplay, Mia saw first hand what it takes to be a founder. Upon being recruited by the Co-Founder and CEO of Nomad Financial, Jonathan Gass, to lead their People and Culture Operation, the two teamed up to create a platform for industry disrupters and leaders; the Candid Entrepreneur. An avid conversationalist, Mia enjoys meeting people from different walks of life and motivating audiences to join forces on behalf of the greater good.
