Child turned ice-cream seller to fund his dad's medicines
He is Atikul Sheikh, and he is a student of class VII. Yet on a hot summer noon during his school vacation, you might see this young boy, a resident of a Birbhum village out on his cycle with an ice-cream box. What for? Why does he travel 20 kilometres most of the days, even till Durgapur at times in this scorching heat? Well, he has to sell ice-creams, and that too not for fun, but to fund his father's treatment. Atikul's father, Sheikh Nizam is suffering from a serious ailment and there is no other earning member in his family. So, when most children of his age enjoy having ice-creams, this boy rides the length and breath of his district selling them for money.
His father's deteriorating heath does not permit him to go to work. His mother is into sewing work, but her earnings are not enough to run a family. She earns only around Rs 500 in a month. Atikul also has a younger brother. This led Atikul to take up the entire responsibility of the family. Even when his school is open, he often misses his classes and goes out to sell ice-creams. With a bag full of colourful icecreams, he calls out to his customers and feels elated when he can sell them off to the children of his age. Atikul is happy about his two-month long summer vacation and is hopeful about earning well during the vacation.
SOUMYADEEP JANA DID NOT SUCCUMB TO TERRORIST BULLETS
Atikul's father was a mason previously. But it has been two years that he has lost the ability to walk. The family hardly has any money to give him a proper treatment. So, the boy wants to save a lot of money and fund his father's treatment. But half of the money that he earns is spent for the sustenance of the family. The rest is saved for his father's treatment. Atikul buys ice-creams from a factory in his locality and sells them to different areas. Previously, he used to sell ice-creams in his locality. But ice-creams are not highly in demand in remote villages. This led him to step out of his territory and sell ice-creams in areas like Maladighi and Phuljhor.
Despite all the odds, this brave boy wants to continue his studies and land up with a decent job. Atikul's father does not want his son to sell-ice creams but is helpless. He sells ice-creams throughout the day and eats whatever he can lay his hands upon in the streets. After a hard day, he comes back and sits with his books. His only dream is to see his father back to normal life. Every evening, when the little ones have a fun time playing, Atikul goes around selling ice-creams hoping for a better tomorrow.

Absolutely divine. I ordered a tester and knew immediately that this was the perfume for me. The blend is heady but somehow delicate and very distinctive. One spritz lasts all day. Beautiful and completely unique. Nobody will guess this one but will want to know what it is.

The Daily Eastern News • March 23, 2016 • https://www.dailyeasternnews.com/2016/03/23/eiu-upi-votes-to-accept-salary-deferral-administration-approves/
EIU-UPI votes to accept salary deferral, administration approves
Cassie Buchman, Associate News Editor
Eastern's chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois voted to accept a pay deferral plan that President Glassman approved later that day.
This plan was put in place to raise over $2 million that Glassman said was needed to make payroll.
Bargaining members will now defer a percentage of their salary on a graduated system.
Those making $50,000 or less will defer 2.5 percent of their annual base contract salary and those with a salary of $51,000 to $75,000 would defer 5 percent.
Faculty members would get paid back from this deferral if Eastern gets any state funding, including Monetary Award Program reimbursements,an FY17 appropriation and any funds from the FY16 budget.
If bargaining unit members make $75,000 to $100,000 they will defer 6 and a half percent of their annual salary and those who make more than $100,000 will defer 7 and a half percent.
60 percent of eligible members voted on this proposal, with 234 members voting for it and 65 voting against it.
After the members voted, Glassman said the administration has accepted and appreciates the UPI membership's approval to assist the university.
"The salary deferral became necessary because of the budgetary impasse in Springfield that has left our state's public universities without funding going into the 10th month of the fiscal year," Glassman said.
Billy Hung, media coordinator for the University Professionals of Illinois, said this plan, through making provisions for an FY17 proposal and having a tiered deferral system, protects those who are vulnerable, such as those with lower incomes, but it is still painful, especially for Annually Contracted Faculty who may not be hired back next fall.
"If you ask them to defer a payment, and then not have a job, that's rough," Hung said.
Hung said although they would get paid back after the school received an FY17 appropriation, this could happen at any point during the year, even as late as November and December.
Lucinda Berry, an English professor, echoed these sentiments in a UPI press release, saying though this proposal provided a more equitable solution than what the administration originally proposed, it left those on annual contracts vulnerable.
"We are giving this loan to our employer with no certainty about being able to pay our own bills. It's frustrating," Berry said.
Hung said there could be a strain on those with families as well.
Jon Blitz, president of the UPI, said he expected the UPI to vote to pass the proposal.
He said they were able to raise slightly more than $2 million as they structured the proposal so the four income brackets gave different amounts.
"We messed with the percentages until we met an exceeded ($2 millions)," Blitz said.
Blitz met with Glassman Wednesday to discuss the proposal and said Glassman brought up some concerns he had.
Glassman said while he did have some concerns with the timing and conditions of repayment in the proposal, these concerns do not outweigh the benefits.
"The proposal accomplished what the UPI intended by assisting the university in aiding our cash flow while protecting the contracted compensation level of its members," Glassman said.
Glassman said the deferred salary of the faculty will assist the university in stretching their cash flow through the summer as they wait for state funding and fall tuition revenue.
Hung said the payroll office was told about the proposal, so the knew about the income brackets and they have a "heads up about it".
Though the proposal was voted on after Spring Break, Hung said they have not been told that they cannot take the deferral out of the three or four paychecks planned.
Hung said they also have not been told that this proposal misses the March paycheck.
Blitz said the UPI did this voluntarily, and voted to help the students and institution.
"We're pretty pleased," Blitz said. "Now we can move on to the next crisis."

The macrobiotic approach is based on the premise that we are what we eat, and that our environment and daily interactions influence our health, happiness, and well-being. The type of food and the quality of the food we eat not only sustains life, but also directly affects the health of our physical body and our thoughts, mood, happiness, and behavior. What we choose to eat and drink and how we live our lives determines who we are. The macrobiotic approach emphasizes the importance of good dietary and lifestyle habits as a way of life.
The term "macrobiotics" refers to a philosophy of working with the natural order of life. The natural order of life is a term used to signify living in harmony with nature, and eating a simple and balanced diet in order to live to an active old age. A macrobiotic diet combines the elements of Buddhism with dietary principles that are based on simplicity and the avoidance of "toxins" which come from eating dairy products, meats, and oily foods. The macrobiotic approach to health recovery can be used along with conventional and alternative medical treatments, and is compatible with and adaptable to all forms of religious and traditional cultural practices. The Macrobiotic diet is mainly a vegetarian diet, although animal products may be included on occasion, if desired.
Although not scientifically proven, some practitioners claim that following a macrobiotic diet regimen can prevent and cure diseases such as cancer, and that it can also enhance spiritual and physical well-being. Food is an important part of maintaining good health, and therefore it makes sense that following a diet of wholesome, nutritious foods may help to protect against cancer and other harmful diseases. Everyone will surely benefit by increasing their fruit and vegetable intake and reducing their fat, sugar and salt intake. However, macrobiotic diets can lead to poor nutrition if not properly planned or if taken to an extreme.
Some earlier and more limited and strict versions of the diet were actually harmful to ones health and was especially dangerous for those who were ill or very young. The restrictive version was found to be unhealthy, and is no longer promoted by macrobiotic practitioners and consultants. Maintaining good nutrition is still a valid concern for those who follow a strict version of the diet. As with vegetarian and vegan diet regimens, a macrobiotic diet may be lacking key nutrients such as iron, calcium, protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12, and zinc. Proper care must be applied to insure that an adequate amount of calories, protein, and other essential nutrients are included while on a macrobiotic diet.
An important principle in macrobiotics is that food is the most important factor in determining the critical energy balance that is needed to achieve and maintain good health and well-being. The objective is to maintain balance of the two elementary energy forces called yin and yang. According to ancient Asian spiritual traditions, this balance is present within all people, foods, and objects and is commonly known as Chi (from Chinese), Ki (Japanese) or Prana (Indian) energy life-force. These two forces must be in balance in order to achieve and maintain health, vitality, and harmony. Followers of the macrobiotic diet believe that it is possible to balance these two conflicting energies by eating foods that have equal quantities of yin and yang. It is harder to maintain a well-balanced diet with foods that are high in either yin or yang energy fields. Therefore, the macrobiotic diet needs to be tailored to the individual by a macrobiotic nutritionist.
More and more doctors approve of a carefully planned and monitored macrobiotic and vegetarian diet for all stages of ones life cycle, including while pregnant and during breastfeeding, childhood, and adolescence. These dietary regimens can and should be customized to meet a persons nutritional health needs. You should consult your doctor and nutritionist before starting a macrobiotic or vegetarian diet. Your doctor may want to review your levels and adjust any medications you are taking.

Brothel offers free sex 'session' to patrons who get COVID vaxx on-site

Guess a spoonful of "sugar" really does make the medicine go down.
An Austrian brothel has devised an ingenious way to incentivize people to get the coronavirus vaccine — by offering promised patrons a free fling with a prostitute of their choosing if they get immunized at the bordello.
"We are very popular," Christoph Lielacher, director of the Fun Palast in Vienna, told Reuters of the enticing new initiative, which they created in response to the recent government mandate barring the unvaccinated from restaurants and other indoor areas amid an infection spike last week. The measure — known as 2G — had reportedly caused a 50% dip in the number of clients at the brothel, the Daily Mail reported.
To help stem the financial hemorrhage, Fun Palast is offering the COVID jab every Monday from 4 pm to 10 pm through the end of November. Best of all, men who get inoculated on-site will be gifted a free 30-minute session in the skin merchant's VIP club with the "lady of their choice." Think of it as a sexy nurse role-playing scenario but with actual medical care.
The Fun Palast in Vienna is offering on-site jabs to men, women and children.
"Many men, very many men with a migration background, virtually refuse vaccination or don't even know that you can be vaccinated," lamented Fun Palast manager Peter Laskaris. "And since we are actually reaching this target group, we decided to set up a vaccination street here."
And the cathouse's inoculation station isn't just open to lecherous adult men.
Boys as young as 14 are reportedly allowed access to the clinic, provided they have an adult with them, while women are also being encouraged to head to the Fun Palast for a coronavirus shot.
Business has skyrocketed following their clever skin-centive program.
"Since the 2G rule (vaccinated or recovered) has been in place, there has been a real rush to get vaccinated," said Laskaris. "We have had a lot of people come in today to get vaccinated."
The bordello created the skin-centive program in response to the recent government mandate barring the unvaccinated from restaurants and other indoor areas amid an infection spike last week.
"I would have gotten vaccinated anyway but the 2G rule has certainly accelerated things a little," said one satisfied vaccine recipient known only as Gerhard (surname withheld). "And since an acquaintance of mine organized this action I thought: Let's go for it."
He added, "I think this is perfectly OK because we can achieve a better immunization rate this way and that's necessary to end the pandemic at some point."
The bordello boss Lielacher hopes that the initiative will help the country achieve the 70% to 75% vaccination rate required for herd immunity. Currently, only 63% of Austrians have received the jab, the National News reported.
Fortunately, thanks in part to the new 2G restrictions, doctors have already administered 213,000 coronavirus jabs this week — the highest number since early August, the Local reported.
Fun Palast isn't the first organization to offer perks for the inoculated. In a much less sexy incentive program on this side of the pond, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf offered state employees five days of paid leave if they got the vaccine at a city-run site.

WI farms spending less due to low prices, increased consolidation
Spending on machinery, construction declines as labor, tax expenses increase.
WI farms spending less due to low prices, increased consolidation Spending on machinery, construction declines as labor, tax expenses increase. Check out this story on wisfarmer.com: https://www.wisfarmer.com/story/news/2019/08/13/wi-farms-spent-less-production-costs-2018/2001752001/
Hope Kirwan, Wisconsin Public Radio Published 3:32 p.m. CT Aug. 13, 2019

Wisconsin farms spent less on production costs in 2018 as producers continue to deal with consolidation and tough economic conditions.
The latest report from the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) found the average Wisconsin farm spent $155,093 on last year's production expenditures. That's 12 percent less than the 2017 average, which NASS adjusted after the latest Census of Agriculture was released in April.
Spending on trucks, machinery and farm improvements saw some of the largest declines from the previous year, with each expense category falling between 67 and 45 percent. These categories saw the largest spending increases in 2017 after falling in 2015 and 2016.
Kevin Bernhardt, agribusiness professor at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, said the decline in 2018 highlights the way that farmers are trying to cut back on spending when possible after dealing with years of low commodity prices.
"That is something that's more in control of the producer to decide not to do that improvement this year, decide not to do that piece of construction this year, decide not to buy that new tractor this year," Bernhardt said.
Feed expenses, which represent the single largest production expense in the state, also fell in 2018. Farmers spent about 7 percent less on feed than in 2017.
Simon Jette-Nantel, a farm financial management specialist for UW-Extension, said the change is likely due in part to dairy farmers feeding fewer supplements because of low milk prices, but he said producers could also be achieving better economies of scale as farms grow larger.
"There's been a change in the composition of our farm population, a movement toward larger farms and a lot of the smaller farms exiting. So that might explain in part the reduction in cost," he said.
Jette-Nantel said farm consolidation has been happening at a more rapid pace in the last year, which could also explain why spending on farm labor increased by 6 percent in 2018. He said larger farms tend to rely more heavily on hired labor and wages for those employees have gone up.
"Competition for labor has intensified because the economy is doing well. There's the entire issue of immigration and the use of migrant labor in the farming sector," Jette-Nantel said. "The question then becomes how and when can farmers find and adopt those technologies that will help them contain those labor costs. That would typically require investments in new technology, which maybe in the last few years it might have been hard to come by."
He said Wisconsin is still producing the same amount of milk, corn and other commodities with fewer farms, but less spending from farms is impacting the state's economy.
"Rural communities are really suffering from those farm exits because it's their local businesses and it's their local population," Jette-Nantel said.
Spending on taxes was another expenditure that increased in 2018, coming in 5 percent higher than the previous year. Jette-Nantel said the increase could be from fewer farms being able to utilize tax breaks given to small businesses that invest in capital expenses like new equipment.
Bernhardt said the jump could also be from producers selling stored grain, machinery or even land to help make ends meet.
"For example, if you sold a tractor, you sold a combine, you sold some machinery, maybe even sold some land, any capital gain on that would be taxed," Bernhardt said.

New Orleans Saints at Jacksonville Jaguars Preview, Predictions & Odds
NFL - Kim Williams - October 10, 2019
Both the New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars suffered some pretty massive quarterback blows at the start of the season. In Week 1, the Jaguars lost the newly signed Nick Foles to a broken clavicle in the first quarter of their match against the Kansas City Chiefs. On the other side, Drew Brees who had started the year on a high, suffered a torn ligament in his right hand in the Saints Week 2 matchup against the Rams. Despite these setbacks, however, both teams seem to have laughed in the face of adversity.
The Jaguars seem to have uncovered a gem in Gardner Minshew (who seems to be a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year), who has become somewhat of a sensation overnight but has thus far led his team to 2-3 record. Saints backup quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater has been more successful in leading his team to victory with a 3-1 record with him on the field. Which team is more likely to win this matchup though?
New Orleans Saints at Jacksonville Jaguars Predictions
It's all fine and good to talk about how "Minshew-mania" has taken over the NFL, but how do these two teams actually stack up in terms of stats and facts? Let's have a look below:'
Since being thrust in the position of starting quarterback, Gardner Minshew has thrown for 1279 yards, 8 touchdowns and an interception. On the other side, Teddy Bridgewater has thrown for 849 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. Bridgewater has also had slightly less game time than Minshew.
Both teams have rather poor defensive lines that have given up more than they would have liked in past games. The Saints have seen some pretty close calls, just edging past their opponents on a number of occasions. The Jaguars have let more than 20 points past them on three occasions thus far this season.
Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas seems to be having one crazy season, ranking second overall in the league for his position. In his last five games, he has amassed 543 yards and three touchdowns of 42 receptions. He has also averaged 12.1 yards per reception.
On the other side, although Leonard Fournette may be no Christian McCaffery, he is not having a bad season. Fournette has amassed 404 yards so far over 72 attempts. He has yet to score a touchdown yet though. He may prove to be rather difficult to cover for Saints defenders to cover.
With all this said, we'd like to make the following predictions for the upcoming matchup:
Moneyline – as much as we'd like to get swept up into Minshew-mania, it really seems as if the Saints may have a better chance of taking this game. While Bridgewater may not be the best quarterback, he does seem to have a ton of great support in the form of his receivers, and with Thomas performing as well as he is, it really seems as if the Saints are edged to take this game.

WINDSOR, England (Reuters) - Britain's Prince Harry wore the frock-coat uniform of the Blues and Royals for his wedding to American actress Meghan Markle on Saturday, Kensington Palace said.
The 33-year-old grandson of Queen Elizabeth waved to well-wishers as he arrived at St George's Chapel in Windsor in the dark blue uniform with his brother and best man, Prince William, who was dressed the same.
"Her Majesty The Queen gave her permission for Prince Harry to get married in his uniform," according to a statement tweeted by Kensington Palace.
"Both uniforms were tailored at Dege & Skinner on Savile Row."

From Main Street shops to Wall Street boardrooms, the American business community is striving to become increasingly diverse, with a growing focus on inclusion, equality, and social responsibility, and with calls for greater gender and racial diversity across all sectors of the economy.
This week, as America prepares to celebrate Women's Equality Day, which marks the adoption of our 19th Constitutional Amendment in 1920 granting women the right to vote, the U.S. Chamber is highlighting the progress women in business have made and the steps needed to create equal economic opportunities for all women. It is important to note that while the 19th Amendment represented an immense step forward for the women's equality movement and years of hard work by suffragettes, some women, particularly women of color, still faced discrimination and obstacles to voting even after the legislation was passed. It took further steps and legislative activity to build toward this promise of equality put forward by the 19th Amendment.
This year's Women's Equality Day brings unique significance as it marks the 100-year anniversary of this landmark legislation. As we celebrate the barriers that have been broken and the progress brought by the 19th Amendment, we also recognize the steps that must still be taken to achieve greater equality for women, particularly women of color.

Lessening a previous trend, female-owned businesses have closed a persistent gender gap in economic optimism, with 58% characterizing the economy as in good health, nearly the same as male small business owners (59%), according to a 2019  MetLife & U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index.
One report found that there are  9.1 million women-owned businesses  across the U.S. that  employ 7.9 million people. These businesses generate a total of  $1.4 trillion in sales, according to the National Association of Women Business Owners.
The 2020 Q1 MetLife & U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Index illustrates how the majority of small businesses deem diversity as an asset to business. Specifically, 65% of all small businesses in the MetLife and U.S. Chamber survey said that hiring ethnically and racially diverse candidates is beneficial for their business and 74% of minority-owned small businesses shared this sentiment. The data also shows the desire for more formal workplace training to support a diverse workforce, with 75% of minority-owned businesses and 62% of all small businesses feeling the need for this.
This growing focus on equality and diversity in the workplace has been shown to help businesses grow by bringing a variety of perspectives to the table. Deloitte's  2019 Global Human Capital Trends report revealed the need for new competencies required in company leadership, including an understanding of changing demographics and employee expectations. Deloitte polled various CEOs about their most important measure of success in 2019, and the study revealed that the top issue cited was "impact on society, including income equality, diversity, and the environment."
Working toward more gender and racial diversity in the business community
The face of business has evolved over the years. In 1973, Katharine Graham became  the first female CEO of a Fortune 500 company, The Washington Post Company. Nearly a half century later, the number of women in business has continued to increase, with a focus on inclusivity and diversity in the workplace.
The  latest Fortune 500 list  reveals that 37 companies (7.4%) have female CEOs, an increase from 33 in 2019. Seven of the 37 women lead Fortune 100 companies. While the 2020 Fortune 500 list has the highest number of female CEOs in history, only three of the CEOs included on the list are women of color and there are no Black or Latina women represented, a decline from 2019. This data illustrates the lack of diversity among the percentage of female CEOs on the Fortune 500 list and highlights the work that still needs to be done to increase gender and racial diversity at the highest-levels of the business community.
Notably, some large companies have recently implemented accountability measures to ensure that companies going public work toward greater diversity. For example, in January 2020, Goldman Sachs announced that beginning July 1, 2020, it would no longer aid a company in going public in the U.S. or Europe unless it has a female or diverse board member. Next year, the company will further build on this rule by elevating its standard to two diverse directors and expanding the definition of diversity to include sexual orientation and gender identity. Prior to the implementation of these rules, over 60 companies in the U.S. and Europe had gone public without a board member that was a female or person of color over the previous two years.
What the U.S. Chamber's doing to promote greater diversity and a more inclusive society
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce continues to emphasize the importance of equality, diversity, and inclusion in the workplace and advocates for substantive policies on behalf of these values.
In February 2019, the U.S. Chamber sent a letter to Congress supporting the Improving Corporate Governance Through Diversity Act of 2019. This legislation aims to expand gender and racial diversity among board of director leadership. Later that same year, the U.S. Chamber supported the Equality Act, which prohibits discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity in the workplace and in commerce.
In June 2020, the U.S. Chamber launched its Equality of Opportunity Initiative, an effort to advance business and policy solutions designed to bridge opportunity gaps and ensure that Black Americans and people of color have greater opportunities to succeed. Further, on June 25, 2020, the U.S. Chamber hosted its first National Summit on Equality of Opportunity, where it convened leaders across the business community as well as the public sector, to discuss inequities for Black Americans and create a forum to work toward solutions. Through this initiative, the U.S. Chamber has built a policy agenda to address four areas that perpetuate broader inequalities in our society: Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship, and Criminal Justice.
In August 2020, the U.S. Chamber released its "MetLife & U.S. Chamber of Commerce Special Report on Race and Inequality on Main Street" which offered data on how minority-owned small businesses have been hit harder by the coronavirus. The highlights of the study reveal that minority owned businesses are slightly more likely to have tried and failed in securing a loan for their small businesses and that more minority-owned businesses expect to see revenue decreases. The data also notes a disparity in the outlook toward businesses reopening with 66% of minority-owned businesses being worried they will have to close permanently in contrast to the 57% for non-minority small businesses.
In January 2020, the U.S. Chamber applauded the Committee Approval of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) and took an active role in the development of the final version of the bill. The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act establishes a pregnant worker's right to a reasonable accommodation. The coalition letter, which the U.S. Chamber authored with A Better Balance, National Partnership for Women & Families, National Women's Law Center, and The American Civil Liberties Union in an effort to shape the provisions of the bill, said that the negotiated version of this bill would "ensure pregnant employees have the maximum opportunity to stay in the workplace, which is critical to the economic security of America's women and families."
Beyond policy, the U.S. Chamber has created spaces to promote female leaders and celebrate professional growth for women in their careers. This year the U.S. Chamber Foundation hosted its 10th annual International Women's Day celebration event, titled "International Women's Day Forum: Marking a Milestone, Continuing the Momentum," which brought together women in leading roles throughout government and industry, including Birchbox Co-Founder and CEO Katia Beauchamp and Ureeka Co-Founder Melissa Bradley, among others. In addition, in 2019, the U.S. Chamber launched its Women Taking The Lead, a nationwide program to promote women leaders and create and strengthen a network of allies to champion their work and provide opportunities for professional growth and development.
Through these initiatives and many more, the U.S. Chamber strives to improve gender and racial equality throughout the U.S. business community. Women's Equality Day should serve as a reminder of how far we have come in the struggle for gender equality, but it should also be a motivator to keep moving forward.

What Small Business Owners in Battleground States Really Want to Hear During the Presidential Debates
Here is what small business owners in battleground state want to hear during the 2020 election debates.


This is the quickest way to discover whether someone knows anything about children's book writing.
Picture book writing is, in my opinion and that of many other children's writers, the most difficult form of storytelling.
You have less then 1000 words to tell a story that is engaging, marketable, and well-crafted to be bought by adults but read to children. Catch that? You have to appeal to the buying adult and capture the heart of the child at the same time. In around 300-700 words.
It's not easy, and that's why I'm here to help.
I will do a line-by-line critique. This includes suggestions for cuts, changes, and comments on what you already have working really well.
I will look at the overall plot, the big picture of your story, and respond to what is working and what needs some attention.
If you are self publishing, I will point out what is standard in the traditional market (if you're hoping to contribute quality literature to an established market) and ways you can grow your book to be as good as possible!
If you are traditionally publishing, I will include comments related to your work that I know the publishing houses look for (both to acquire and reject).
You will know your strengths and concern areas when I've completed my critique. This will come in a one-page critique in addition to changes and comments made to your digital manuscript. And of course, I'll answer any clarifying questions you might have with the feedback I give. I will have this back to you within two weeks.
My own book, According to Corban, is a winner on the 2017 Gittle List.
Books I've critiqued have earned Best Seller status on Amazon and won awards on Kindle Direct Publishing.
I have been a member of the Society of Children's Book Writer's and Illustrators (SCBWI) since 2010.
I have had personal critiques done by many major publishers and agents.
I have successfully published picture books and adult non fiction.
I have been professionally editing since 2010.
I am a graduate of the Picture Book Academy.
You can see my participation in Certificates and Awards.
I have taught Creative Writing at the High School level.
I am GOOD at cutting out unnecessary words!
Please contact me if you would like a picture book critique. My time is limited (I'm still writing my own books, but love helping others prepare their "babies" for the world) and I take these on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once payment is made, I will send you submission instructions.
Manuscripts should be submitted as Microsoft Word (doc or .docx) or Pages (.pages) files. Manuscripts must be 1000 words or less. (The fee doubles for 1000+ words).
Initial critiques are $125. If you would like a follow up critique after you've revised accordingly, the fee is $25.
Or, you can purchase a FULL critique package with unlimited revisions for $200.
Without Marcy Pusey my stories/words wouldn't have had come to life as they have and I would still be struggling with the fear of writing for kids. Marcy is kind, direct, helpful, creative, intuitive, and fair. With her tireless patience, she is forever inspiring me to create my words as an experience. Thank you Marcy for being on my team. You are a gem! And thank you for helping me fulfill a childhood dream of writing kids picture books.
Working with Marcy was a DREAM! I honestly, don't know what I would've done without her! Not only is she a skilled editor, she is incredibly thoughtful as a coach and mentor. She truly takes pleasure in helping others dreams of being published come true. Marcy, how grateful I am to have found YOU!
I couldn't have finished the whole book publishing process without Marcy's help! She is a great resource and a wealth of information. I had her assistance in critiquing my final draft as well as a bit of formatting. She also knows some terrific people who helped put the final touches on my book. Don't hesitate to enlist Marcy's help!
Marcy Pusey went above and beyond to help our book reach it's absolute highest potential. She was very thorough and detailed, and she answered our questions with patience and care. She helped us see our manuscript from a perspective that made it even better than we had hoped, and her insight and professional experience really resonated with our story. We appreciated all the edits she suggested as each and every one enhanced our story and deepened our characters. We highly recommend Marcy Pusey for any editing or coaching services and will be using her for our future books as well.
Marcy helped me with editing my middle-grade chapter book, "The Case of False Blame." Marcy was very professional with her suggestions and corrections. She understands not only editing, but also what kids can handle at what age. Which words to use to keep them comfortable as well as which words to use to expand their vocabulary. I would recommend Marcy to anyone who writes for children of any age as she is a great partner for your manuscript.

Whenever it rains, water pours into Crofters Cottage through the back door.
Something had to be done to remedy this problem.
Under the earth at the threshold a large flat stone was discovered but over the years earth had piled on top.
This was lifted and relaid by Peter and Andrew. A couple more flat stones were acquired and drainage added below.
Now water drains properly into the ditch beside the cottage, making life much more comfortable for any inhabitants.

Thanks again to Museum Volunteer Kathryn for the photos & text.
The museum had plenty of visitors this weekend, and we had plenty of people demonstrating traditional rural crafts, thanks very much again to Museum Volunteer Kathryn for the photographs.
This weekend entry for Ryedale Folk Museum is free as the museum is participating in the free European Heritage Open Days 2016. So if you are looking for a good day out with the family & dogs, come to Hutton-le-Hole North Yorkshire and pay us a visit. There is loads to see!
Ryedale Folk Museum Volunteer Kathryn kindly emailed me these photos of children's activities this week - thanks very much. As always there has been plenty for children to do at the museum.
Photos showing Stang End sometime in the 1800s and also in the mid 1960s. The house was originally built Danby. It was taken apart stone by stone and begun to be moved to the museum in May 1966 where it was rebuilt and restored by 1967/8. It mow appears how it would have been in 1704. At some point in its history, it was extended from one room shared with animals to a house with a forehouse (living-room and kitchen), dairy and bedroom.
Some parts of Stang End had become derelict by the mid 60s.
The long process of taking Stang End apart and relocating to the museum.
A fascinating record of one of the museum's finest houses.
Visitors will notice a change in the Chemist shop. Unfortunately damp has found its way into the wall and a cupboard has had to be removed to allow things to dry out. Volunteers are busy with it and hopefully it will be replaced soon.
The allotment is looking busy with a splendid variety of vegetables.
We were fortunate at Ryedale Folk Museum that both the Beadlam Tractor Run and the Tour De Yorkshire passed through Hutton-le-Hole. There was a decent crowd watching, Richard was in the best place at the Museum's Forge making a very good fireplace set on what was a very cold day. One lady collecting for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance was donated some 10 Shilling notes in pristine condition, not something you see every day.
Museum Volunteer David has been busy last Friday fixing the sail motor on the windmill in the model village, also pictured is fellow volunteer Peter.
Last Friday day we had a test run of the roller grinder mill powered by the Lister stationary engine. We still have some minor things to fix on both, but overall it was successful.
Lister engine, ploughs and wattle fencing..
These ploughs have been renovated with new handles and a coat of paint. They are situated near the workshop.
Here Peter gets another Lister static engine running. Note the large drum for the water coolant.
After some spluttering, it runs!
For more information about the Lister company which was founded in 1867, please check this link.
Come and join us this Easter at Ryedale Folk Museum for a great family day out in the heart of Ryedale.
Textiles exhibition opens at Ryedale Folk Museum on Saturday 19 March.
Etcetera is a group of seven nationally and internationally exhibited textile artists based in the North of England.
FREE admission to the art gallery.
Etcetera is a new group composed of seven nationally and internationally exhibited quilt and embroidery artists based in the North of England. Each member of the group has produced a series of works inspired by the word 'transition'. Their personal interpretation of the theme ranges from the sociopolitical to the more physical explorations of how stitch transforms cloth.
Linda Bilsborrow is driven by colour and the interaction of shapes. She enjoys the process of combining traditional techniques with surface design and machine quilting. Her Lifeline series deals with the transitions between different life stages – the phases of our lives that we all go through but cannot really see until we look backwards.
Julie Bunter creates textile art that explores the potential of hand stitch and reflects her fascination with the manipulation of materials. Her Transition work is an investigation of the making process: the accumulation of marks and stitches and the transformations that occur as a line of thread becomes stitch, pattern, structure and language.
Helen Conway has produced a body of work that explores the process of transition as experienced by immigrants, particularly in the Brick Lane area of London. Graffiti marks observed there are used to symbolize both the changing nature of inner city spaces and the experiences migrants have in transiting from one language and culture to another.
Leah Higgins has drawn her inspirations from man-made structures and constructs. Her Transition pieces, influenced by visits to Shanghai, seeks to explore the differences between the new public face of China and the government control and restrictions that still thread through every aspect of life.
Isobel Holland explores the question 'quilts are stationary, safe and hopefully beautiful, but what if a quilt can transform into something else?' In her Transition pieces she has created a series of work that incorporates an element of change and challenges traditional perceptions.
Magie Relph is heavily influenced by her travels in Africa: the movement of peoples and objects across vast distances and the changes that take place along the way.
Sandra Wyman has created a series of pieces that are autobiographical and represent a time of personal transition and self discovery.

Spotted this fella in Williamsburg at the weekend. Guerrilla Gardening has been around for a long while. I remember the 'flower bombers' back in the late 80's and the Reclaim The Streets folk in the 90's planting samplings in the middle of motorways in the UK.


I visited Bend, Oregon last week, predominantly to visit my daughter, Rachel. Ever since she moved to Bend, she had been "asking" for a visitor. As you know fathers have a tough time saying no to their daughters. Hence, the visit.
We ate at a couple of excellent restaurants for dinner. First, Joolz, a Mediterranean style restaurant that improved on the concept of happy hour with their "Ecstasy Hour." We ate tapas style until our bellies were close to exploding. It may not have been ecstasy, but it was darn good. Second, Barrio, a Latin inspired restaurant which is known for its paella. It did not disappoint. I had the house paella that came with chorizo and chicken. The chicken was so tender, it melted in my mouth. For our third dinner, we ate in, making homemade pizzas from a recipe that claimed to be the best way to have NY pizza at home. By the third pizza, we decided it was pretty good but nothing beats a NY pizza in NY!
We continued our epicurean tour of Bend with a couple of breakfast places, each quite good. First was Chow, where I had the "Eggs a la Caesar" which is an offshoot from the classic Eggs Benedict. It's description is poached eggs, cheesy corn cake, roasted chilies, avocado, queso, chili hollandaise. How could I refuse? I didn't. It was delicious though the coffee was quite ordinary. We also ate at The Sparrow Bakery which sported excellent coffee and really good croissants filled with all sorts of goodies. The bakery/restaurant is quite small so there is almost always a wait. Luckily, it was quite cold which kept the locals at home.
If you visit Bend, you must stop in one of the many local breweries, all sporting excellent, reasonably priced beer. Rachel and I eschewed any lunchtime foods to partake in these beers. Each was delicious, and I believe better for you than food. At least that is what the bartenders told me.
Finally, what's a visit to a new location without taking some photos. I coerced Rachel to take me to Smith Rock State Park for a sunrise shoot. Although cold and cloudy, we made our way to the famous and beautiful Smith Rock.
It was so cloudy we never saw the sun. This makes for a good black & white opportunity.
After the bust of a sunrise, I convinced her to go back the next morning. This time there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Although better than the 100% cloud cover the morning before, it was not perfect. Yet, it yielded some nice shots.
Shot just before sunrise, during the golden hour. The alpen glow was beautiful.
The sun lit up the mountains beautifully.
It was a fantastic trip to Bend with great food, great beer, good photography, and most of all, a great time with Rachel. I can't wait to do it again.
With all the food and beer I consumed you would think I gained a lot of weight – but, I lost three pounds. Moral? My new diet is to eat heartily and drink beer!
Sounds like a wonderful visit! Thank you for the list and descriptions of restaurants. Wonder if I'll be offered the same options? I love the sunrise photos! The hint of blue sky just behind the mountains in the second photo and then the bright sunlight on the mountains in the last photo! Beautiful!
Make sure she brings you to Smith Rock, the state park is beautiful.
And, one more thing. Have her bring you to the Boneyard Pub and Crux Fermentation. Great beers at both places.
That looks familiar….oh, it was my dads back yard when he was a kid.
And did he let you go out an play in his beautiful backyard?

#566: Give It Back! by The Brian Jonestown Massacre
The 1990s definitely saw its fair share of pastiche in music from The Rolling Stones raunch of The Black Crowes to the underground Los Angeles swing revival that briefly bubbled into the mainstream. Out in San Francisco, The Brian Jonestown Massacre was taking full advantage of the Haight-Ashbury vibes to experiment with sounds old and new, dabbling in shoegaze, psychedelia, jangle-pop, and more. On their sixth album, 1997's Give It Back!, the one and only with future Black Rebel Motorcycle Club founder Peter Hayes, the band puts all the elements to use on slinky bass-driven jams like "Super-Sonic" and "Whoever you Are" while also finding time to bliss out on tracks like the sitar-driven "Salaam." But it's not all good vibes, as the bands more evil half of the namesake shows up on the disturbing noise collage "Their Satanic Majesties' Second Request," and "#1 Hit Jam" is definitely not.

Ron Paul's Top Secret Iowa Youth Camp
Gavin Aronsen
Outside the YMCA camp building in Iowa rented out by Ron Paul's campaign.Gavin Aronsen
At a rented YMCA camp lodge outside the town of Boone in central Iowa, young Ron Paul volunteers are preparing for Tuesday's caucuses under a veil of secrecy. When I stopped by on Saturday, after driving down a winding gravel road surrounded by woods and farmland, the place appeared deserted, aside from a couple cars and a white van with a Ron Paul sign in the window. "At Y camp you don't have to make friends, they're given to you," a sign greeted me near the the Pioneer Hybrid Outdoor Education Center where the volunteers work.
In Ron Paul's case, those friends are hundreds of out-of-state college students who paid their own way to travel to Iowa in support of their libertarian hero. On Wednesday, the New York Times reported that once they arrive at the camp, the volunteers are "under strict orders" to "look, dress, shave, sound and behave in a way that will not jeopardize Mr. Paul's chances." That means no boozing, no visible tattoos, and no scraggy beards (although I did spot a guy with earrings). Or as one volunteer from Ithaca, New York, told the Times, "What would Ron Paul do?"
The volunteers have also been told "not to speak to journalists or make postings on social media sites about their activities in Iowa," the Times explained. That became immediately clear on Saturday, when I walked into a meeting room where about 20 volunteers prepared campaign flyers. "Are you with the media?" a young woman asked as someone turned off the music. I was ordered to leave the room, and after I was told that I could "absolutely not" take a flyer with me a woman shut the door to the lobby behind me. A young man watched me intently from behind a glass window as he called someone on his phone.
This paranoid atmosphere reflects the strict message discpline employed by the Paul campaign. That may be more important than ever now, since Paul has dropped to second place behind Romney in Iowa polls after facing a barrage of criticism over the racist newsletters published under his name in the '80s and '90s.
When the Times asked Jesse Benton, Ron Paul's national campaign chairman, about the camp, he said, "We're keeping our cards close to our vests." But in an email, campaign spokesman Gary Howard gave me a seemingly less cryptic explanation: "We're just making sure we keep things focused and limit distractions."
Whatever the case may be, Paul's youth operation in Boone is also reflective of the candidate's enormous popularity among college-aged voters—the same demographic that helped Barack Obama win the Iowa caucuses, and ultimately the presidency, in 2008. Their turnout will be crucial on Tuesday for Paul to have a shot at winning this year's Republican caucuses.

He has a history of playing chauvinistic, cruel and less than savory characters on screen. But actor Michael Rooker does not mind a little torment being doled out on him.
"Guardians of the Galaxy," due out Aug. 1, re-teamed Rooker with Gunn, who directed the former in the 2006 sci-fi-horror-dark-comedy "Slither." Rooker says portraying the alien Yondu required nearly four hours in the makeup chair.
"You could see the sweat coming out through the makeup and looking very natural," Rooker says.
However, Yondu has yet to appear in any of the film's promotional trailers. Rooker jokingly wonders if his character will even have screen time.

La Colombe offers a Cold Brew Shandy Lemonade and a Cold Brew Shandy Grapefuit. This beverage combines the brand's light-roasted organic coffee with Sicilian lemonade or pink grapefruit juice. The idea is to create a sweet, light beverage that is refreshing. After the success of the brand's Draft Latte, this beverage is received accolades as well as rave reviews.
Combining lemonade with other beverages is common. Usually this type of beverage is more popular during the warmer months or in warmer climates. Think about the popular shandy types of beer. The lemonade offers a lightness, brightness. It makes it very refreshing.
The same can be said for this particular beverage combination. Sometimes coffee can be strong. While lemon is often introduced into tea, adding it to coffee is different.
For these beverages, the citrus pairs well because the coffee beans do have a citrus note. Additionally, the smoothness form the cold brew is rounded out by the citrus. Overall, it is a flavor combination that needs to be explored.
Recently, the La Colombe Cold Brew Shandy received a 2019 Food and Beverage (FABI Awards). This awards recognize food and beverages that break new ground in taste and will shape the future of food. Could this particular beverage be the newest trend in coffee?
Looking at other coffee and tea offerings, all types of flavors are becoming more common. From floral hibiscus to stronger spices like turmeric, traditional is getting a new slant. Flavors from the table are quickly working their way into the beverage aisle.

Bill Wiggin's links to Bermuda-based company
By Gary Bills-Geddes
BILL WIGGIN continues to be paid tens of thousands of pounds each year for work he undertakes for a company based in Bermuda.
The MP for North Herefordshire has been a managing director of Emerging Asset Management since November of 2015.
They are based in Hamilton on the island of Bermuda and, in the latest register of MPs' financial interests, Mr Wiggin says he is a director of two fund platforms in the Caymans and two in Bermuda.
His declaration states that, from January 1, 2019, his remuneration as Managing Director and Board director is £49,140 a year.
The Conservative politician is expected to work eight hours a week for these directorships and managing director role.
The Hereford Times first published stories about Mr Wiggin's work with the company in Bermuda in 2017.
In common with all MPs, he is entitled to supplement his parliamentary income but must declare these earnings.
Mr Wiggin later complained to the regulator of the press over the coverage – and raged in Parliament when this was not upheld by the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO).
The Hereford Times periodically publishes these details to keep readers abreast of their MPs' financial interests outside Parliament.
The latest information, which is freely available to view, also shows that Mr Wiggin was paid a bonus last October by Emerging Asset Management of £650 and received director's fees of £18,825 in February for being a director of four platforms.
In addition to the £79,468 salary Mr Wiggin is paid for being an MP, he is also paid an annual fee of £12,000 for his work as a non-executive director with Allpay Ltd.
The register of interests state that the politician is expected to attend four meetings a year, which are each expected to last five-and-a-half hours, as part of his work with the bill payment solution specialists on the Whitestone Business Park near Hereford.
When declaring their financial interests, MPs also have to explain any gifts or benefits received.
Mr Wiggin enjoyed a day's shooting in South Derbyshire thanks to the British Association for Shooting and Conservation and a 50% discount on a family ski pass worth £353 courtesy of the Skigruppe der Bundesversammlung.
Meanwhile, Mr Wiggin also declared that his wife receives "ad-hoc" income from lodgers at his London home.
Jesse Norman, the MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire, has also declared his financial interests.
The Conservative, who has written books on politics and economics, was paid more than £28,000 in royalties from publishers since last August.
Mr Norman also received £3,070 for participating in a conference and £762 for helping to arrange a conference.
He also received accommodation and food for him and his wife, estimated at a cost of £349, when attending the Scotland International Conference and food and accommodation valued at £687 when attending the Franco-British Colloque's 2019 Conference.

Turkish human rights lawyer may have been killed by a cop, high-tech independent investigation shows
For The Los Angeles Times
DIYARBAKIR —
When Turkish human rights lawyer Tahir Elci was gunned down during a news conference in the embattled Kurdish-majority city of Diyarbakir, at least four cameras were rolling and dozens of witnesses were looking on in horror.
But more than three years later, nobody has been arrested. Police officers, chasing two men who had just killed a pair of cops around the corner, were seen firing in Elci's direction. But authorities have apparently never investigated whether one of them may have, on purpose or by mistake, killed Elci, who was struck by a bullet to the head.
The tragedy accelerated a breakdown in a two-year cease-fire between Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, a separatist group that has waged an insurgency since the 1980s. At least 4,258 people have been killed in the conflict since July 2015, including 464 civilians and 1,140 security personnel, according to the International Crisis Group.
With the stall in efforts to determine who killed the prominent attorney, a high-tech independent investigation was launched by the Diyarbakir Bar Assn., which Elci used to head — and it has identified three police officers who could have fired the lethal round.
