Article 50, Brexit, British Government, Negotiating, Theresa May
4 Ts are needed in #Brexit Talks: Timescale; Table; Team & Truth
Posted on February 18, 2018 March 3, 2018 by BEERG Brexit Blog in Article 50, Brexit, British Government, Negotiating, Theresa May
This blog was written and posted on Feb 18th, 2018:
Last Monday I came across a Twitter exchange between two prominent Brexit supporters. Not politicians, but well-known members of the commentariat.
One of them accepted what the UK government had signed up to as regards the avoidance of a border in Ireland in Article 59 of last December's "Article 50, Phase 1" agreement. However, she believed that the UK government had been trapped into doing so and should now actively be looking for a way out. Welch on the deal, in deed if not in word.
The second one denied that what had been agreed had been agreed. The interpretation of Article 49 by Brussels (AKA EU27) and Dublin was simply wrong. London could never have agreed such terms.
Both, in their own way, were saying that Article 49 put the UK government in an impossible position of promising mutually incompatible things to the EU27 (and Dublin), the DUP and the hardline Brexiters in the UK.
Truth may be the first casualty of war, but it can never be a casualty of negotiations, and denying or reneging on the truth was what the two Brexiters were about.
While, as we discussed last week in this BEERG Briefing, a large part of your leverage in negotiations derives from clearly knowing your BATNA, your best alternative to a negotiated agreement, the actuality of negotiations is conducted by real, living, breathing people and they only have one card to play in discussions. Their reputation for trustworthiness and honesty. The other party must be able to believe that you mean what you say and when you say you can deliver, you can deliver.
Too often negotiations are framed as what you might call the "art of the steal", getting one over on the other side, a thing of tricks and stratagems. Your objective: to trump the other guy, winner take all, no prisoners. Negotiators who deliver long-term value for their own side know none of this is true. They know that there is a tomorrow as well as a today and that if the other side leave feeing cheated, or, thereafter, betrayed, the deal will fall apart and there will be consequences, sometime revenge.
Rather than the "art of the steal" negotiations that build agreements that last are the "art of the honest handshake", a handshake that says we have crafted an agreement that is fair to us both, that we will both respect, and that will stand over time.
But you can only ever get to this point if you are clear as to your objectives and know exactly what you will do if the agreement you want is not available. This we discussed in last week's briefing. Nothing we have seen this week suggests that the UK government has moved on for the position we described then. On the contrary. The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, gave a speech which can only be described as "Brexit: My Vision of La La Land".
But assuming you do know your objectives and have a reasonable idea of your BATNA, then there are four other issues to which you need to pay attention if the negotiation is to be successfully.
We call them the 4Ts. Timescale; Table; Team and Truth.
And the greatest of these is truth, as we discussed above.
Timescale: You are about to begin a negotiation. One of the first questions you should ask is whether or not there is a timescale, a deadline. If there is a timescale or deadline to whose advantage does it work? If it does not work to your advantage can it be changed? Is it movable? What happens if the deadline is missed? Where does that leave you?
No experienced negotiator creates a deadline that puts themselves under pressure. Certainly, create one if it pressurises the other side. But why would you create one that puts you under pressure, that says to the other party, "here's a big stick, beat me with it".
You plan to buy a new house. You sell your existing house without having an option on a new one. In fact, you haven't even decided where you want to live in the future. You have just got fed up with your old house and neighbourhood and you have been nagged by some of the family to sell up and move on. Having sold, you have to move out. But you haven't decided where you want to go. The family are arguing over it. Agreement among your warring tribe is proving impossible. Deadline day is looming ever closer.
It is not that your options are running out. You never had any in the first place. You just decided to sell. Where you were living was simply not good enough anymore and you had heard that there were great new developments being built elsewhere in town.
Where you were living was the past. These exciting new developments were the future. But they weren't built yet. And you'd have to negotiate with the developers to get a deal. You have no idea how long any of this might take. But you were willing to take that leap of faith into the unknown. One of the developments even had the exciting name of La La Land. Who wouldn't want to go there? Where do you live? I live in La La Land.
Sound familiar? That's what the UK did with the Article 50.
It gave the EU two years' notice that it was leaving, without having decided where it was going to go. The UK put itself under pressure. Why? Just so the government could say to the loudest shouting faction that, "yes, all right, we heard you, we are leaving the EU, we'll be out in two years. Happy now?". Only after the Article 50 notice had been given did the reality of looming homelessness dawn. Bit late.
Table: For many people the word negotiations calls up images of two teams sitting across a table from one another. The infamous picture of David Davis, paperless, sitting across the table from Michael Barnier, files stacked in front to him, sums it up.
But this image is misleading. Experienced negotiators will tell you that 90% of the work is done before you even get to sit at the table.
You plan to have some friends around for dinner. You don't give it much thought. Give them a quick call during to the day to tell them to be there at 19:30. You'll see what you have in the house when you get home from work and throw a few things together. You "know" you have plenty of drink in. What could go wrong?
Or, you sit down and plan it all out in advance. First, you contact your friends to see when they are available. You tell them what you are planning, let's say, a Tex-Mex evening. No surprises. You are structuring expectations. Once you know who is coming you look at a seating plan. The way you lay out the room, the way you seat people generates its own dynamics. Maria and Pascale don't really get on. Best not to put them beside one another. Don't want their bickering taking centre stage.
Design the meal. Anyone allergic to anything? Best to know in advance. Straightforward menu or a menu with choices? Order the food. Order the drinks. Plan how you want to run the evening from the time people arrive until they depart. Give them some advice on where to park, if they are driving. ("Been driving around for the past half-hour…").
Where to put their coats? Music or not? It is the little things that often count.
Which works best? Come home from work and wing it? Or meticulous planning? What you might call the Davis v the Barnier templates.
The "table" is preparation, planning, attention to detail, every last detail. Nothing left to chance. Homework done and double checked. Making sure that those involved have a good idea in advance of what to expect.
Team: If you don't recruit the right team and send them out to play in the right formation it is unlikely that you are going to win the game. Even the right team set up wrongly will lose.
Even before the UK formally told the EU that it planned to leave the EU had put its team together and started preparing. As in football (both the European and US types) the EU team got together pre-season and started to work on strategy, tactics and fitness.
Gameplans were put together. Gamebooks written. The EU team choose as its leaders a highly experienced former French government minister, who has also served as a European Commissioner. The European Parliament nominated a former prime minister of Belgium as their point man. Both sharp, well-versed in sophisticated, modern European play.
After the UK voted to leave the EU, their team manager resigned and a new one was appointed. Actually, she probably wasn't the first choice of the board but all the other available candidates were either damaged goods or damaged themselves in the process.
Come the day of the appointment she was the only one left standing.
She seems to have been unwise in her choice of backroom staff. It subsequently emerged, after they were sacked, that they had pushed her into opting for a very aggressive, attacking style of play, to make promises to their supporters they couldn't deliver on, and to publicly rubbish the other teams.
When she went into the transfer market she bought badly. Her three "strikers", Johnson, Fox and Davis, had either never played in the major league before, Johnson; had recently played but had been suspended by the club for unacceptable behaviour on a foreign trip, Fox; or had been brought out of retirement, Davis, who last played over twenty years ago when you could pass back to the goalkeeper and the pitches were mud by mid-winter. There were better players available but she wanted to keep faith with the "ultras" among the team supporters and Johnson, Fox and Davis were their favourites.
She could have asked for a delay to the start of the season but she didn't, again to satisfy the ultras who believed that the season would be a walkover and couldn't wait to get started. Then, before the first game had even taken place she called a break and went to her supporters to ask for their backing. Didn't quite work out the way she planned.
When the game did begin it soon became clear that her strikers were not only out of their league, but couldn't play with one another, wouldn't pass the ball, and seemed more interested in tackling some of their own teammates than the opposing players.
By the end of the first half they were 3-0 down.
So, apart from having unrealisable objectives, no BATNA, getting the timescale, table and team wrong, being somewhat loose with the truth, the UK has not put a foot wrong and is heading for a glorious defeat.
One last point. In any negotiation it is never a good idea to lecture or insult the other party. Which is what Mrs. May did in Munich on Saturday when she told a defence conference that the EU should not let "rigid institutional restrictions" and "deep-seated ideology" get in the way of a security deal with the UK after Brexit. What she actually meant was that the EU should not let its "deep-seated ideology" (for which read the legally based policies and procedures necessary in a group of 27-member states) get in the way of the UK's "deep-seated ideology".
Oh, sorry. The UK does not have an ideology. It just has common sense. It is European who have ideology.
Whenever you hear the UK talk about "common sense" you should remember the wise words of Keynes:
"Practical men who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist. Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back"
About sums it up.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}

Background subtraction is a fundamental problem in the field of computer vision and it has a number of applications relating to object detection and tracking, object segmentation and classification, change detection identification, among others. Background subtraction relates to the identification of objects that are moving in a scene while the images perceived are obtained from a static camera. Although significant contributions have enabled background subtraction algorithms to efficiently deal with the problem of background subtraction using a fixed, non-moving camera, little has been done to tackle the problem of background subtraction using a moving camera. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for moving object detection using a single moving camera without the need to use supplementary sensors such as Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), stereo vision, or depth sensors.

The algorithm we present in this paper has been tested in real-world environment and the results obtained show its robustness in terms of accuracy in spite of the high speed camera motion due to the motion of the vehicle. A multi-camera rig consisting of three cameras and an IMU has been mounted on an electric bus and images are obtained in average traffic conditions in the area between campus and downtown Reno. The employed vehicle platform, namely a Proterra EcoRide BE35 electric bus, is depicted alongside the developed camera rig. The data from one of these cameras are employed to verify the proposed method for optical flow-based background subtraction with a moving camera. Figure \ref{bus} provides a pictorial representation of the electric bus along with the sensors onboard.
\begin{figure}[t]
	\centerline{\includegraphics[width=1\columnwidth]{introFigure.eps}}
	\caption{Electric bus with camera sensors and IMU onboard}
	\label{bus}
\end{figure}
Traditional methods model pixel intensities over time and detect when a scene changes over time. On the other hand, background subtraction from a moving camera is a problem that has risen during the past few years especially due to the emergence of autonomous vehicles whose guidance requires the detection of moving objects in their field of view to avoid collisions and plan a safe path.

The paper consists of five sections. In the next section, a background literature review is presented relating to research on background subtraction. In Section 3, we present the methodology followed and the various steps involved in our proposed algorithm. In Section 4, the results from this research are presented along with real world examples. Finally, in the last part of this paper, a conclusions section is presented along with a discussion on the results obtained.

\section{BACKGROUND WORK}

In contrast to the traditional methods for background subtraction which employ Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) \cite{KaewTraKulPong2002, DBLP:conf/icpr/Zivkovic04, ZivkovicHeijden2006} these usually apply to cases where the camera is static. For moving cameras different methodologies, however, are adopted. Following are examples of implementations that have been carried out using moving cameras. In \cite{Elqursh2012} an online method is presented that makes use of long term trajectories along with a Bayesian filtering framework to segment background from the foreground in each frame. In \cite{Sheikh2009} the authors exploit the fact that all trajectories to static areas in a scene lie in a three dimensional subspace and is used to differentiate between foreground and background objects. No 3D reconstruction of the scene is required but rather a sparse model of the background is created from feature trajectories. In \cite{Zhu2017} the problem of moving camera background subtraction is not approached as binary problem but rather as a multi-label segmentation problem by modeling different foreground objects in different layers. In addition, Bayesian filtering is employed to infer a probability map and a multi-label graph-cut based on Markov Random Field is used for labeling. Finally, in \cite{Li2015} a saliency based method is presented using the SIFT flow field of moving objects.

\section{METHODOLOGY}

In this section a description is given about the methods followed to tackle the problem of background subtraction with a moving camera. At first, the camera rig with the sensors is mounted on an electric bus manufactured by Proterra (EcoRide BE35) and operated by the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) which is employed in the city of Reno. The data was collected during the normal operation hours of the bus following the standard route. The cameras used are \emph{FLIR PointGrey Chameleon3} (sensor: ON Semi PYTHON 1300 CMOS, 1/2'') with a resolution of $1280\times1024$ set at $20$ fps. Two cameras are gray scale and another one is a color one. The IMU unit is an $um7$ which is not used for the purpose of this research. For recording camera data we have used the Robot Operating System (ROS).

First, the camera used for the background subtraction problem was calibrated and the intrinsic parameters were obtained. Optical flow vectors from the camera motion produce the so-called Focus of Expansion (FOE). FOE is calculated using the Lucas-Kanade (LK) algorithm \cite{LucasKanade1981}. Based on the intrinsic parameters of the camera, a series of 3D points are simulated and projected onto a simulated image plane like the one used by the camera sensor. The camera height from the ground plane is fixed and thus is used to simulate as accurately as possible moving objects that lie on the ground plane, i.e., the road. In total, 2000 3D points have been simulated. Figure \ref{project} shows a pictorial representation of the projected 3D points with $FOE=(368,216)$
\begin{figure}[t]
	\centerline{\includegraphics[width=3.0in]{projectionPoints.eps}}
	\caption{Projection of 3D points based on camera intrinsic parameters and Focus of Expansion for each frame. FOE at current Figure is FOE=(368,216)}
	\label{project}
\end{figure}

The LK algorithm is applied to two time adjacent image frames and the \emph{leave-one-out} resampling method is used to estimate the FOE. Subsequently, a mathematical description of the \textit{leave-one-out} method used to estimate the FOE point from optical flow vectors is presented.

The convergence of optical flow vectors at point $P$ occurs when a system of linear equations is minimized. Vectors, therefore, serve as linear equations. Equations (\ref{leastSquaresMethod}) and (\ref{leastSquaresMethod_II}) present an example of two vectors,
\begin{equation}
\label{leastSquaresMethod} P\in \Omega_1=\{h\in \Re^2| \underbrace{(v_1-r_1)^T}_{\alpha_1}h=\underbrace{v_1^T\cdot r_1-||r_1||^2\}}_{\beta_1}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{leastSquaresMethod_II} P\in \Omega_2=\{h\in \Re^2| \underbrace{(v_2-r_2)^T}_{\alpha_2}h=\underbrace{v_2^T\cdot r_2-||r_2||^2\}}_{\beta_2}
\end{equation}
where $r$ is the position of the vector, and $v$ is a point on a line that is perpendicular to the optical flow vector. The following equations, (\ref{leastSquaresMethod_V}) and (\ref{leastSquaresMethod_VI}), show the process for $n-1$ optical flow vectors. Noise in the system is denoted by $\epsilon_i$.
\begin{equation}
\begin{array}{l}
\displaystyle h\alpha_1 + \epsilon_1=\beta_1 \\
\displaystyle h\alpha_2 + \epsilon_2=\beta_2 \\
\displaystyle \hspace{10mm} \vdots \\
\displaystyle h\alpha_{n-1} + \epsilon_{n-1}=\beta_{n-1}
\end{array}
\label{leastSquaresMethod_V}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{leastSquaresMethod_VI} h\in argmin \sum_{i=1}^{n-1}(h\alpha_i-\beta_i+\epsilon_i)^2
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{leastSquaresMethod_III} \underbrace{\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}\alpha_i \alpha_i^T+\epsilon_i\right)}_{C}h=\underbrace{\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}\alpha_i \beta_i\right)}_{\gamma}
\end{equation}
\begin{equation}
\label{leastSquaresMethod_IV} h=C^{-1}\gamma
\end{equation}
The \emph{leave-one-out} sampling works by taking out one optical flow vector from the sample while estimating point $P$ using the remaining $n-1$. The Euclidean distance, $d(p_j,P_i)$, is then calculated between point $p_j$ of the removed vector and the convergence point, $P_i$. The process is repeated $n$ times, which is the number of optical flow vectors. This results in a set of $n$ distances. The optical flow vectors that fall above a certain threshold, in this case, beyond the 90th percentile, are considered as outliers. Using the inliers and the \emph{leave-one-out}, eqns. (\ref{leastSquaresMethod_V})-(\ref{leastSquaresMethod_IV}) are used to find the convergence point. The convergence point, $P$, is thus, denoted by $h$, in Eqn.(\ref{leastSquaresMethod_IV})

The purpose of estimating the FOE and camera intrinsic parameters is to as accurately as possible model and simulate the set of 3D points. The set of 3D points are projected onto the image plane and an optical flow pattern is obtained using a constant-velocity camera model. The optical flow vector magnitudes at twice the velocity, i.e., $100$ km/h (from $50$ km/h) produce vectors at twice the magnitude, thus a linear relationship can be realized. A multiple linear regression is performed between two explanatory variables ($x_1$ and $x_2$; which are pixel values along x- and y-axis) and a response variable (magnitude of optical flow vectors) which is used to fit a linear equation to observed data (Eqn. \ref{multipleLE}); in our case the magnitude of optical flow vectors between two consecutive time stamps is given with a camera velocity of $50$ km/h. Uniform sampling is performed in the optical flow vector data set from the camera with the view to estimate the linear fit model. Given the linear relationship between the different camera velocities we can even estimate the speed of the vehicle by using the ratio between the predicted linear model and the observed one derived from the uniform sample space.

\begin{equation}
\label{multipleLE} y=\beta + \beta_1x_1 + \beta_2x_2
\end{equation}

\section{RESULTS}

Figures \ref{results_one} and \ref{results_two} depict the results obtained from the moving camera onboard the electric bus. Figures \ref{results_one} (a) - (d) show the raw images and Figs. \ref{results_one} (e) - (h) show the estimated moving and non-moving features in the image plane. The same arrangement appears in Fig. \ref{results_two}. RGB color coding denotes outliers, inliers, and moving objects, respectively\footnote[1]{A video of the results obtained can be found in: https://goo.gl/HGgGUW}. Although the velocity of the bus is not constant and at the same time unknown, the results obtained are very accurate with the exception of some few individual false moving vector detections.

For this research we used OpenCV and the C++ programming language to implement the LK optical flow algorithm, and the Machine Vision Toolbox \cite{Corke11} for modeling and simulating feature points and estimating the parameters of multiple linear regression. Modeling accurately feature points based on the FOE of the camera motion and camera intrinsics, and implementing multiple linear regression is critical in obtaining accurate results.

\section{CONCLUSIONS AND FUTURE WORK}

Background subtraction with a moving camera is a highly challenging problem that has gained popularity the last years due to the increasing interest in autonomous vehicles. In this paper, we addressed the problem using only visual information. In this research, we exploited the fixed camera height from the ground plane with the view to model and simulate feature points as seen by the camera sensor based on the intrinsic parameters obtained from the camera. A multiple linear regression model is applied to the synthetic data given the image coordinates of the features as well as the magnitude of optical flow vectors and is juxtaposed against the real data to identify significant optical flow variations that will signify moving object representations.

The developed methodology will be a core module that will be used to a) robustify GPS-denied simultaneous localization and mapping~\cite{VSEP_ICRA_2018,TUNNEL_AEROCONF_2018,NIR_ICUAS_2017,RHEM_ICRA_2017,LMAS_MSC_14} onboard the electric bus and other autonomous vehicles, and b) enable fast reactive planning in urban conditions with challenging traffic.

Decade Of Delirium: The Mars Volta's De-Loused In The Comatorium Turns 10
Drew Kaufman June 25, 2013 Exclusive Content, Features, SIMGEssentials No Comments
Ten fucking years.
De-Loused in the Comatorium, the debut full length album from The Mars Volta, was released on June 23rd 2003 on Universal Records and Gold Standard Labs. The amalgamation of two post-hardcore punk rockers who wanted to shed their MTV cred to reinvent Pink Floyd's Piper at the Gates of dawn, De-Loused made it's way into the print version of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die before the year was over.
Eight tracks with two introductions, each of which are self-contained orphans of genre-less sparkle, somehow strengthen in gesalt as if to reflect upon their creators: singer, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, who traded in his At the Drive-In yaw for a siren's shriek and wrote lyrics that mix Jabberwocky with Frank Zappa, and guitarist, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, who once stated he used effects pedals to wrestle against an instrument he hated, began to see himself as a band leader and helped produce the album.
Keyboardist, Isaiah "Ikey" Owens, who had played in the duo's dub act, De Facto, joined the Mars Volta for their first tour in 2001, along with the ever-talented Jon Theodore on drums and childhood friend Jeremy Michael Ward on sound manipulation. Eva Gardner, the original bassist, left the band before the recording of De-Loused in the Comatorium and was substituted by Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but not before recording a few demos and singles. The album was co-produced by famed Def Jam founder, Rick Rubin, with artwork by the late Storm Thorgerson.
De-Loused in the Comatorium, which tells the disjointed story of Cerpin Taxt, a man in a drug induced coma confronting the evils within himself, reflects upon the suicide of Bixler-Zavala's close friend, Julio Venegas (who's lifeless body is tattooed on CBZ's arm). Unfortunately, Jeremy Michael Ward, who's sound manipulation defined the album's signature erratic overtures, died of a heroin overdose just one month before the release of De-Loused. His death at age 27 prompted Cedric and Omar to kick opioids, leading to over two dozen releases between the two to date.
There are countless live videos and even full concerts all over the internet and for sale in stadium parking lots. Please enjoy some of my favorites.
Track 1/2: "Son Et Lumiere" into "Inertiatic ESP"
When the Mars Volta first began touring, "Son Et Lumiere" didn't even exist. In fact, they only had five songs for the first year or so of playing tours. Sets would often begin with an energetic "Inertiatic ESP," which was one of the first demos the band ever recorded. Over time, "Son Et Lumiere" would expand to feature heavy pop culture sampling and jams and become a staple for show openings.
I still remember that summer when I went with my best friend Kevin and his mom to buy this CD. Our friend James was really into At the Drive-In and told us to just buy De-Loosed or whatever the hell he said. The second "Inertiatic ESP" kicked in. Christ, there was no turing back from that point. We were hooked and his mom hated it, which maybe hooked us even more.
Track 3: "Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)"
"Roulette Dares" was the second demo recorded before Eva left the band. This recording, less than four months after the release De-Loused, features an medium-sized jam and JT wearing a "Fuck Bush" shirt. Remember that guy?
Track 4/5: "Tira Me a Las Aranas" into "Drunkship of Lanterns"
Everyone knows that the Mars Volta can take a 12 minute song and make it longer than the wait for the At the Drive-In reunion show (hey-oh!). Now, what's truly impressive and rare is to see the band in their prime compress a seven minutes song into three of the most energetic minutes of rock and roll chaos ever aired on MTV. Just listen to that fucking guitar solo.
Plus, they we're introduced by Zac De La Rocha of Rage Against the Machine who would later start a duo with TMV drummer Jon Theodore named One Day As a Lion.
Track 6: "Eriatarka"
"Eriatarka" became my favorite TMV song a full five years after the album was released. It is a perfect song, mixing slow, introspective verses with a powerful chorus, punctuated by a keyboard solo that forces you to remember to that keyboard solos can be cool. This live recording doesn't have video, however it was mixed very well and Cedric hits every. goddamn. note.
There has never been an official live recording released of "Eriatarka" so this will have to do. If any of you ungrateful tremulants want some video you can see some here.
Track 7: "Cicatriz ESP"
The original demo for "Cicatriz" was 4 minutes long and really slow temp! That's insane considering there are versions of this song that are over 30 minutes long. That said, there are plenty of great versions of the "Cicatriz ESP" online.
This one is probably the earliest on the net.
The Big Day Out 2004 version of the "Cicatriz ESP" was probably the first live video of the Mars Volta I ever saw. It holds a special place in my heart, even if it cuts the song short.
Track 8: "This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed"
Such a chaotic song that perfectly embodies that sense of claustrophobia during an early Mars Volta show. Watch the to hear what a Mars Volta show in 2002 sounded like without a popped eardrum.
Track 9: "Televators"
The Mars Volta played their last show without an album on May 24th, 2003 in Brooklyn, NY. Four days later, sound manipulator Jeremy Michael Ward was found dead in his Los Angeles home. Just shy of a month later, the band released their first album and began their first tour without Jeremy. On July 1st, the Mars Volta played De-Loused in the Comatorium in it's entirety to a sold out audience in California. "Televators," the somber ballad on album reflecting upon the death of a friend in years past, made heavy use of Ward's talents in the studio.
Track 10: "Take The Veil Cerpin Taxt"
"Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt" is that reward waiting for you at the end of the album. It's different than everything else on the album, and yet it fits in so complacently. Even when it's jammed out to the point you almost don't recognize it, the flow from that bass solo to the end of the record is a bookend that matches. A perfect ending to a perfect summer. And maybe a homemade music video that almost got you kicked out of a high school video production class.

Fani-Kayode's Attack On Daily Trust Reporter, Totally Reprehensible – NUJ
Chief Femi Fani-Kayode
BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has condemned in very strong terms, what it described as "the gangster-like outburst" by Chief Femi Fani-Kayode against the Cross River State Correspondent of the Daily Trust Newspaper, Eyo Charles.
Eyo had asked Fani-Kayode at a press conference to tell Nigerians "who is sponsoring his tour of projects in states and under what platform" which he (Fani-Kayode) considered embarrassing and started to insult the reporter.
The NUJ in a statement by its National President, Mr Chris Isiguzo, said that the action of Fani-Kayode is totally unacceptable, dishonourable and reprehensible and therefore demanded a retraction of what the Union described as "his untoward, irritating and awkward utterances" which negate simple decorum and civility.
The NUJ said that it is more shocked that the same Fani-Kayode, who in recent times, used his social media handles to call leaders to account is at the same time attacking a Journalist for a simple demand for him to unmask those behind his nationwide tour, adding that the former minister of Aviation had already visited six states.
Fani-Kayode pointedly assaulted the journalist and threatened him for daring to ask such a question.
The NUJ further said that by denigrating the journalist, Fani Kayode has exposed himself the more as an intolerant and unstable person who will not want his activities closely scrutinised by the media.
Isiguzo further said; "It is instructive to remind the likes of Fani-Kayode that it is the Constitutional right of Journalists to monitor and keep a check on people and institutions in power.
"By delving into politics and holding political office, Fani-Kayode is very conversant with the watchdog role of the media.
"For him to have embarked on assessment of projects in some states, even though we are yet to be told under what platform, he is doing so, it is proper for the media to hold him to account for his actions and decisions.
"This is indeed, terribly disappointing," the NUJ stressed.

Q: Science fiction book with Masonic influences and set on a starship about a war or mutiny I read this book in the US, 15-20 years ago, but I believe it dated back to the 70s, based on the general feel.
It was set mostly on a starship.  I believe it and other ships had names from Freemasonry, and some of the ranks among the crew were from Masonry, such as 'Deacon' and 'Warden'.  This might have applied to the entire organization or empire that the protagonists belonged to.
I don't remember anything of the plot, except that it was conflict-based, like a war or mutiny - not a plot about exploration or discovery.
It's not Revolt in 2100 or anything by Heinlein.  I don't believe it was by a well-known author.

A: How about The Artifact by W.Michael Gear?
Conflict based as different groups struggling to control possession of the item.  Pretty much all space based.  Main group in the story is the "Brotherhood"

Dirty, dusty, noisy, beggars everywhere, people pulling at your arms asking you to buy this or that, can't drink the water, no hot water in the hotels (OK, lukewarm) - Does this sound like the type of place you'd want to visit?
Well, let me tell you, in spite of all of this, Aki and I had a fantastic trip to India.
We were there the last 8 days of 2007.
Taj Mahal on x-mas day was pretty cool.
There were also helpful and friendly people who didn't want a thing. And the children, some of the brightest smiles you've ever seen. A delicious curry and nan could be had for a dollar fifty. All those cups of hot chai cost only 15 cents.
Beautiful and unforgettable sights are still fresh in my mind (eg. The Ganges River at sunrise).
Shopping (or should I say haggling) in the old bazaars was always a fun challenge. Seeing cows in the middle of busy streets and even on train platforms was something I never got used to. Wandering around an old village, exploring a back alley or just watching the people go about their daily business, there was never a dull moment. Another thing we liked was the "Ayurveda" (ancient Indian herbal medicine/healing) treatment which roughly translates to "Knowledge of long life".
India has to be the most exotic, unique and mystical country I've ever visited. I think it's a country that's easy to love and equally easy to hate. The poverty and corruption is so right there in your face it's hard not to feel for the majority of the billion plus (2nd only to China) people who live there and make just $100/month. However, India is a country on the rise, a country whose economy will only continue to grow stronger. It's a country full of bright young people and for these reasons I'm optimistic that poverty will slowly be diminished.
I totally understand what they mean! :) LOL. Actually, the drivers in India may not be that bad, they may even be a bit skillful but their complete disregard for the safety of everyone, including themselves put a scare into me every time I hopped into a taxi or auto rickshaw. Every driver was fighting for pole position and wouldn't let up on the gas or their horns. One-way streets don't mean a thing there either. And driving at night with no lights on (maybe this was an attempt to save electricity) was pretty common practice too. But it was dirt-cheap, especially considering the price of gas there (which cost about $5 bucks a gallon or 150 yen/liter). A trip across town (15 minutes) usually only cost about a dollar. Of course, they'd ask for double that at first but you get to be pretty good pretty quick at bargaining. And in my case I've had some practice because my mom is the "Queen" of bargains, haha :).

Use Your Words (Paperback)
A Writing Guide for Mothers
By Kate Hopper, Hope Edelman (Foreword by)
Viva Editions, 9781936740123, 256pp.
Use Your Words introduces the art of creative nonfiction to women who want to give written expression to their lives as mothers. Written by award-winning teacher and writer, Kate Hopper, this book will help women find the heart of their writing, learn to use motherhood as a lens through which to write the world, and turn their motherhood stories into art. Each chapter of Use Your Words focuses on an element of craft and contains a lecture, a published essay, and writing exercises that will serve as jumping-off points for the readers' own writing. Chapter topics include: the importance of using concrete details, an overview of creative nonfiction as a genre, character development, voice, humor, tense and writing the "hard stuff," reflection and back-story, structure, revision, and publishing. The content of each lecture is aligned with the essay/poem in that chapter to help readers more easily grasp the elements of craft being discussed. Together the chapters provide a unique opportunity for mother writers to learn and grow as writers.
Use Your Words takes the approach that creative writing can be taught, and this underscores each chapter. When students learn to read like writers, to notice how a piece is put together, and to question the choices a writer makes, they begin to think like writers. When they learn to ground their writing in concrete, sensory details and begin to understand how to create believable characters and realistic dialogue, their own writing improves. Use Your Words reflects Kate's style as a teacher, guiding the reader in a straightforward, nurturing, and passionate voice. As one student noted in a class evaluation: "Kate is a born writer and teacher, and her enthusiasm for essays about motherhood and for teaching the nuts and bolts of writing so that ordinary mothers have the tools to write their stories is a gift to the world. She is raising the value of motherhood in our society as she helps mothers build their confidence and strengthen their game as writers."
Kate Hopper teaches writing online and at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, where she lives with her husband and two daughters. Kate holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Minnesota and has been the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship, a Minnesota State Arts Board Grant, and a Sustainable Arts Grant. Her writing has appeared in a number of journals, including Brevity, Literary Mama, and the New York Times online. She is an editor at Literary Mama.

Praise For Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers…
"It doesn't matter if you only want to write for yourself or for publication. If you have written before or never have. This book can teach you how to do it or how to do it better."
Simple Wyrdings
"Hopper has packed her book full of excerpts both heart-warming and painful, by well-published authors who resist the temptation to sugarcoat the endless tortuous pleasure of being a mom. Writers who've established a literary career and then birthed or adopted children will find comfort in the excerpts and quotes from women who've contributed to Use Your Words. Mothers who find themselves drawn to writing about their family will find the book extremely useful. Final chapters examine how to publish, and how to balance a professional writing life that's also rich with parenting, household and work duties."
Literary Duck Blog
"Unlike some writing resources that can come off as somewhat condescending, Hopper's voice is approachable and kind, making this an easy read with clear lessons. The tone is perfectly balanced for those with a wide range of writing experience and ability. Established writers will be reminded to return to and strengthen the basics and those without any formal training will find lessons that are quick to grasp and, with practice, will improve the quality of their work. I found immediate inspiration from Use Your Words to work on my own projects and gratification when Hopper's approach helped me to see areas that I could further develop. Hopper's stated goal is to increase the legitimacy of narratives told by mothers. It seems clear that she wants you to succeed in telling your story and uses a gentle hand to push you to dig deep in order to do so."
"Many of us mama-bloggers have stumbled into our particular subject matter without giving much thought to what we are doing. Luckily for this second-rate Erma Bombeck, the lovely, smart, thoughtful writer Kate Hopper has just published Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers, which offers great guidance for writing about your family."
"Kate dares to remember her own motherhood. She dares you, gently, to own your own words, to realize that you are the only one who can tell your story. Using pieces of her own story as well as perfectly chosen excerpts from assorted mother-writers, Kate has crafted a rare book that calls you to action as a writer and mother and, yes, WITNESS of your own life, of the lives around you. The writing prompts are simple, powerful and compelling. I found myself engaged, completely, in the prose. I'd been stuck for months, my own writing stale and frustrating. A week with Kate's book and I'd filled a notebook of my own. Her words loosened something in me, as a writer and a mama. I'm grateful for her, and grateful for her courage to document her own amazing path in life. So get inspired. Your story? Guess what: it matters. And Use Your Words: A Writing Guide for Mothers will get it out of you and on the page. No kidding. Pick it up. Start anywhere, if that's less scary. Pick a prompt, and go."
Breed 'em and Weep
"Kate Hopper puts her expertise as a writer with a MFA in creative writing, Literary Mama editor, blogger, Loft Literary Center instructor, and mother to good use in a guide meant to be underlined, highlighted, reread, bookmarked, carried around, shared, by countless mothers."
"I can see using this over and over. It is not paced to be read in one sitting. It's more of a workbook that will only help if you sit down and try it....do the prompts. Interact with the essays. Make notes. And go back and do it again."
The Black Sheep Dances
"Kate Hopper is a seasoned mother, writer and teacher at the highly recommended and respected Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis. Her book, Use Your Words is a unique instruction manual for the mother-writer that wants to write about life and herself through the lens of motherhood. Maybe that's through a blog or for magazines or a memoir, but whatever the case, I want you to know, this book will help you become the writer you dream of being. It will take you from the beginning to the end of your process with grace and humor. I don't know about you, but I need direction, a coaxing of sorts, to stay focused on a project. That is exactly what Use Your Words will do for me, and for you."
"An excellent resource[Kate Hopper] probes you to think further, while teaching you how to do it. I really enjoyed this book and will reach for it repeatedly to help me in my own memoirs."
Planet Weidknecht, the blog of Lisa Weidknecht
"Kate Hopper is warm, encouraging and someone who knows her stuff For mothers looking to publish or just make sense of a story gestating in their heads, Use Your Words is a good place to start."
"Finally a book to teach parents how to write! In readable, interesting, practical prose, Use Your Words gives moms what they need to know to write about their children's most precious moments. A tremendous resource for bloggers, teachers, lay and professional writers."
Jennifer Margulis, Ph.D., author of Toddler: Real-Life Stories of Those Fickle, Irrational, Urgent, Tiny People We Love
Kate Hopper has been a valuable part of our teaching staff since 2006. Her students rave about her, calling her a wonderful teacher.' She always makes her students feel that their writing is valuable and that their work is important work. She is accessible and friendly and always enthusiastic and supportive of her students. She has contributed to the success of the Loft Literary Center! Her Loft students have said, I loved Kate as an instructor! She was so encouraging and supportive of everyone's efforts, but also very knowledgeable about the craft of writing, as well as prose revision. I would take another class from her in a minute,' and I've taken many writing classes, and this class was the most supportive, helpful class I've ever had, while still giving extremely helpful critique.' Kate has so much to share and so many helpful writing exercises."
Brian Malloy, Education Director, The Loft Literary Center
"Turning personal experience into readable prose is a daunting process for anyone, and carving out the time to do so isn't easy with a house full of short people in need of constant attention. In Use Your Words, Kate Hopper offers a practical and accessible roadmap for any mother who'd like to get started. Part instructor, part motivator, part best friend, Kate guides mother-writers from idea through finished product, offering encouragement and hard-earned wisdom along the way. She intersperses poems, essays, and short memoirs by known writers such as Cecelie S. Berry, Judith Ortiz Cofer, and Chitra Divakaruni--and emerging writers from The Loft Literary Center in Minnesapolis--with passages about the craft of writing, and ends each chapter with helpful, short exercises for readers to try at home. Any mother who picks it up and follows the carefully-planned instructions will be able to call herself a mother-writer by the final page."
Hope Edelman, best-selling author of MOTHERLESS DAUGHTERS
"The only reason I've ever wanted to visit Minnesota was for the chance to meet Kate Hopper and take one of her writing classes. Thankfully, Kate has translated her successful USE YOUR WORDS writing class onto paper and created a personal, practical guide for any mother writer. Grounding each lesson with terrific essays and poems by a wide variety of writers, Kate offers a solid education in creative writing plus a range of approachable assignments, designed to make readers put the book down and start writing."
Caroline Grant, Editor-in-Chief of Literary Mama and Co-editor of Mama, PhD: Women Write About Motherhood and Academic Life
Kate Hopper knows: how to inspire the budding writer to find her voice and her truth; what it takes to keep that same writer going; and the words of advice and inspiration every writer needs to hear. In Hopper's assured, experienced hands, women and mothers will glean not only the all-important elements of craft, they will feel emboldened and prepared to take the essential steps from idea to finished piece. This is a beautiful, polished guide to craft and story telling for writing about motherhood and beyond."
Vicki Forman, author of This Lovely Life: A Memoir of Premature Motherhood
"USE YOUR WORDS brings a unique voice to the world of writing guides: honest, forthright, funny. Reading it felt to me no different than sitting down to have a writing tete-a-tete with a literary friend and practicing writer. Because it is real, the voice welcomes beginners with trustworthy invitations to reach deep, and it also speaks to the practicing writer with new levels of insight about writing motherhood literature. It's totally original in that it covers the specific areas where the experience of motherhood firesand complicatesthe task of writing. (fear, etc). I think really Kate, whether you intended this or not, the true brilliance of USE YOUR WORDS is voice. When a teacher/author takes a risk with voice and really bares herself, her students/readers can do no less than rise to the same challenge. I think of the hilarious scene with the agent, and the really lovely structural modeling you did too of framing a large section of your book with Mimi and the Vanda. Also! The book is funny! I thought I was reading it just for funbecause I knew it would be funand the surprise for me was the spur in the ribs I got to write and write well."
Bonnie Rough, author of Carrier: Untangling the Danger in my DNA
Part writing workshop, part anthology, part mothers' group between two covers, Use Your Words is so much more than an instruction manual. It is also a readable, powerful call to the page for every woman in the process of giving birth to herself as a writer. If you have ever wondered whether motherhood is a viable literary subject, or whether you have a mothering story worth telling, Kate Hopper's beautifully written book will answer that question once and for all with compelling excerpts, exercises to inspire you, and clear, practical teachings on matters of voice, structure, and style."
Katrina Kenison, author of The Gift of an Ordinary Day and Mitten Strings for God
Kate Hopper's Use Your Words demonstrates how the universal experiences of motherhood can be transformative through storytelling, and offers practical, thoughtful, and insightful guidance to any writer interested in the process of translating life experience into story."
Andrea Buchanan, author of The Daring Book for Girls, Mother Shock: Loving Every (Other) Minute of It, and six other books


Since my first concert back in 1980, I love helping folks relive that experience.
Car audio systems. Stereo music listening, specifically vinyl.
Netflix, love the variety and the recommendations it provides.
UT Vols, The Reds and anybody that Peyton Manning plays for!!!
Wes was a big help in choosing the car radio. I was looking at 3 and he helped me decide on which one as I had several questions and concerns about the brands and features. EXCELLENT customer service. Very rare these days. Thanks Wes, and please don't forget to tell Hogan "hi" for me, he was equally great when I ordered a radio system for my wife's car a couple of years ago.
I probably over research every big purchase to the point that I am drowning in facts. He was patient enough to help me wade through everything to a conclusion that I am happy with. He helped me understand some information better and helped me pick the best TV for my wife and I. Thank you very much Wes.
Best customer service I have experienced in a long time! I hope my stereo rocks as much as Wes does!
Wes was very helpful. Nice to talk to a person that understands the question and is "right" with his recommendations!
Wes really knows his stuff, Very friendly and polite. I will definitely be wanting to talk to Wes with all my future orders!! I'm an old timer so I had lots of questions about my Auto Stereo installation and Wes had all the answers!! Great Job Wes! Thanks again.
Wes is very knowledgeable, cheerful and passionate about what he does. Could not have had a better experience!!
Wes - great straight-forward advice that saved me a lot of money compared to what a local big box store recommended. My new AV receiver and super-cool programmable remote shipped the same day giving me plenty of time to get it set up for my Super Bowl party. THANKS WES!! A new sound bar is on the horizon and I'll be looking for Wes again. Great Job!!
I had the pleasure of Wes picking up my phone call, due to my usual rep being out of the office. Wes was a pleasure to deal with. He was kind, helpful and made the experience so easy. A++++ for his wonderful customer support!
Awesome and knowledgeable support from Wes. Crutchfield has an impressive selection, super prices, and great support. His guidance was not only invaluable, but saved me serious time and frustration. I won't even risk calling someone else the next time.
Wes was GREAT!! He answered all of my questions and was spot on with his info. Thanks for your help I will be a return customer.
Well words can't even describe how great Crutchfield customer support is. I got a thank you card from Wes today in the mail, and it made my day. I don't think there's another website that comes close to this one, let alone the fantastic customer support. Thanks again Wes it means a lot. I'm loving my new subwoofer and amp. Sounds crystal clear and I get a lot of great comments from friends about it. I'm thinking about upgrading headunits soon and getting a 4-channel amp to power all my Infinity series speakers, I'll be sure to call you when I need that gear! Thanks again Wes!
Wes is a great person to work with. Always helpful and answers any and all questions I have. I will send others to him as I have in the past. Thanks Wes!
Wes by far gone above and beyond to help me. I am in the process of upgrading the sound system in my 06 H3 and he has been there to answer every and any questions I've had he is extremely knowledgeable and not just out for your money. he will get you the right item and get you the most for your money!
I just got off the phone with Wes and he helped though all my questions. The second time I have ordered through Crutchfield and both times are great. I guess I understand now why people keep coming back. Oh and I wasn't on hold for any time at all.
Wes did a great job taking care of my order! I was pleasantly surprised when I read that he is an active member of BSA! I am an eagle scout myself...all the more reason to stick with Wes! Thanks for the great service!

Q: Altium Designer: How to automatically find out if pin designator does not match between schematic symbol and footprint? I have recently started learning Altium designer. I created a simple schematic with a few components. I created the schematic symbols and also the PCB footprints.
In the diode component that I added into the library, the schematic symbol used pin designators 1 and 2 while the PCB footprint symbol used designators A and K. The A and K designators were put into the symbol by the footprint wizard that I used. This mismatch was not detected when I carried out the "Validate PCB project ... " command.
When I started the PCB layout I kept getting what seemed to be cryptic error message saying some pins were "unknown" The diode component was not showing any rats nest wires as well in the PCB layout window too.
I eventually found that the problem was the pin designator (not the pin name) was not matched between the schematic symbol and the PCB footprint for the diode component. Now my question is, is there a way to automatically detect this type of mistake in the future?

A: Once you perform a "Design -> Update PCB" you should get an error message stating that some pin doesn't match.

I'll elaborate a bit on that.
Validate Design does only check for schematic issues. It was previously named "Compile" because it performs a compilation over all schematic sheets, thereby checking interconnects and other ERC related issues.
There are three things you ALWAYS want to have 0 errors once a design is near completion (or even before):

*

*In the schematic: Compile/Validate design: The messages window MUST NOT show any errors or even warnings. This basically checks your design against the ERC rules specified in Project Options. A good practice is to not allow single pin nets and not allow any unconnected pins (you'll need to explicitly place No-ERCs on unconnected pins).

*The transfer from schematic to PCB MUST NOT show any errors. This checks the schematic data against the PCB data

*The DRC in the PCB MUST NOT show any DRC errors. This checks the PCB against the rules you set in the constraints dialog.

Book Review: Dead to Her by Sarah Pinborough
August 13th, 2020 by Jane Turner
Posted in Reviews | No Comments »
This review of Dead to Her by Sarah Pinborough is part of the Random Things Blog Tour. I received a free copy of the hardback to review. Dead to Her was published by Harper Collins on 6 August 2020.
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A WOMAN SCORNED
When Marcie met Jason Maddox, she couldn't believe her luck. Becoming Jason's second wife catapulted her into the elite world of high society. But underneath the polite, old money manners, she knows she'll always be an outsider, and her hard-won life hangs by a thread.
Then Jason's widowed boss brings back a new wife from his trip to London. Young, beautiful, reckless – nobody can take their eyes off Keisha. Including Jason.
SOMETHING YOU CAN NEVER, EVER UNDO…
Marcie refuses to be replaced so easily. People would kill for her life of luxury. What will Marcie do to keep it?
MARRIAGE CAN BE MURDER
Marcie spends a lot of time in her head. Which is to be expected, really, given her fish-out-of-water status when she married Jason – a waitress thrust into Georgia's High Society. She worries a lot, she thinks a lot and she stresses.
Sarah Pinborough has produced a very realistic vision of the super-rich in America's Deep South, all politeness and grace on the surface, backstabbing snideness underneath the glossy cover. None of these women seem happy, but are going through the motions to maintain appearances. Like so many of us, really. But these characters take it to a new level.
With the arrival of a new, young, English bride for one of society's kings, the social circle is shaken – loyalties, traditions, marriage vows and alliances are all thoroughly tested.
The characters are thoroughly believable, particularly with their tendancies to 'keep up appearances' and impress the neighbours. There are twists, turns and taking risks – and once you throw in a little Southern voodoo – shake well for a treat!
There's a bit of a wait to get to the action, which is why this gets 3 stars. Things start to really move in the last third. And, to be totally honest, I think we spend WAY too much time in Marcie's head, stuck in a loop of the same thoughts over and over. But stick with it, because the ending…

Retired NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and Papa John's pitchman sold off his stake in 31 Papa John's pizza locations he owned in the Denver area just two days before the NFL and the pizza chain ended their partnership in late February.
According to the Denver Post, Manning's involvement with the company — including appearing in commercials with ousted founder John Schnatter — was part of a six-year joint venture with Papa John's International which has now ended with the sale of his stores.
The report notes that Manning made his sale at a fortuitous time, coming just two days before the NFL severed ties with Papa John's as the official pizza of the football league.
Papa John's had a tumultuous year after founder Schnatter agreed with President Donald Trump and criticized NFL players for kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem to protest racial inequality in the U.S.
In a statement in late February, the NFL and the pizza franchiser said they were mutually dissolving their national sponsorship deal, and that Papa John's would focus instead on the smaller sponsorships it has with individual teams.

Backgrounds In a recent small study, patients with autoantibodies to cardiac troponin (cTnaAb) had higher cardiac troponin 1 (cTnl) release during an episode of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) than patients without cTnaAb and continued to have higher long-term levels of cTnl However, the prognostic importance of the occurrence of cTnaAb is unknown Methods In 957 nonST-elevation ACS patients cTnaAb and cTnl were analyzed at randomization and after 6 months. Outcomes were assessed through 5 years Results. Seven and 11% of the patients were cTnaAb positive at inclusion and 6 months, respectively The cardiac troponin I (cTnl) concentration at inclusion was independently associated with the development of cTnaAb (OR 1 53, 95% Cl 1 25-1 88) The presence of cTnaAb was associated with an increased cTnl level at 6 months (OR 2 39, 95% CI 1 50-381) cTnaAb was not independently associated with death and AMI during follow-up (HR 0 97. 95% Cl 0.61-1 54) Conclusion Development of cTnaAb after an episode of nonST-elevation ACS is associated with the acute myocardial damage, but occurs only in a minority of patients Furthermore, the presence of cTnaAb is associated with chronically elevated cTnl concentrations However, the occurrence of cTnaAb is not associated with an adverse long-term prognosis.

Ci's Suspense Titles
Series and Romance Titles

A Quick Thank You!
If ever a writer was blessed, it has to be me. I was quite nervous about my new adventure into the Suspense/Thillers genre. Most of my books thus far have been romance - yes a few Romantic Suspense, but it's been a while since I wrote in that genre.
As good as Romance has been to me, I admit I wanted more -- I love suspense, (romantic, psychological, paranormal and even horror). Those tales lend themselves to more complicated plots and a biggest cast of characters, and allow me to explore the dark and light sides of humanity, which has always been a passion.
The release of The Boy in the Barn darn near gave me hives! I was terrified no one would like it, or buy it. You guys proved me wrong and I am so grateful - you have no idea how grateful.
I found the most amazing narrator for this book, a woman, April McCoy who is just incredible . I preduce we'll have an audio version this month. And I am hard at work on the first book in my Psychies and Serial Killers series.
There is a love story in this series - actually two -- that span two decades, so be forewarned, the tale won't be completed in one book. I think it will take three to do it justice. I hope, when the time comes, you'll give it a try as well.
And I hope you have a fantastic weekend and your team (whichever that is) wins the Superbowl (if you're a football fan).
For anyone who hasn't gotten their copy of The Boy in the Barn, it's available in Kindle, on Kindle Unlimited and in paperback. Click on the image below to purchase.
Thanks again you wonderful people!
xoxo-
Keep your lights on
In this difficult time we all need an escape ...

RBS Six Nations SNS Group/SRU
Rugby in Scotland
We love rugby. No matter what the outcome or the level of the match, we just can't get enough of it. The atmosphere, competition, crowds and dramatic moments all combine to make this marvellously muddy competition one of Scotland's favourite spectator sports.
Scotland boasts a proud rugby heritage and our international rugby weekends are always something to look forward to.
The majority of Scotland's international matches are played at BT Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, just to the west of the city. Experience the camaraderie and friendly banter between thousands of visiting fans and the local support, which creates a truly unbeatable atmosphere in the capital, during competitions including the RBS Six Nations, the Calcutta Cup and the Autumn International Test series.
The Scottish Borders and Rugby Sevens
Rugby is popular right across the country but nowhere displays the passion for the ruck and scrum as they do in the Borders. All of the main towns have a local rugby team who compete in the various Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) leagues.
It was in the Borders that the Rugby Sevens was born. A brilliant spectator event, it is shorter, faster and higher scoring than the 15-a-side equivalent. Each team only has seven players and the games are seven minutes per half. With so few players on the pitch, the pace of every match is guaranteed to be fast and furious, full of quick-paced rugby and bags of tries.
Professional rugby
Scotland is home to two professional rugby union teams, Edinburgh Rugby and Glasgow Warriors, who battle it out each season in the Guinness PRO12 (previously known as the RaboDirect PRO12 League, Celtic League and the Magners League) against 10 other Irish, Welsh and Italian regional clubs.
Both teams also compete in the prestigious European Rugby Champions Cup and European Rugby Challenge Cup, going up against 22 of the best pro teams from England, Ireland, Wales, France and Italy.
BT Cup Finals Day
BT Murrayfield Stadium is a fitting setting for the exciting climax of the Scottish club rugby season.
Teams from across Scotland compete during the season, until a lucky few are left to battle it out for the silverware on rugby's Super Saturday at the end of April. The final of the BT Cup, BT Shield, BT Bowl, Sarah Beaney Cup, BT Women's Bowl and BT Women's Plate, are all staged on the same day, with both the men's and women's teams competing for glory.
Visit Sport on Spec for all the latest news, events, offers and spectator sports action.

Let kids be kids, Japan is urged amid suicide…
Let kids be kids, Japan is urged amid suicide increase
U.N. committee warns about excessive pressure, physical punishment
By Reuters |
PUBLISHED: February 7, 2019 at 10:26 a.m. | UPDATED: February 7, 2019 at 10:51 a.m.
By Stephanie Nebehay
GENEVA, Feb 7 (Reuters) – The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child on Thursday urged Japan to do more to let children be children, free of excessive pressures or corporal punishment in school or at home.
The human rights watchdog also urged Japanese authorities to look into the root causes of rising adolescent suicide rates, now at a 30-year high.
A total of 250 children took their own lives in the year to last March, according to authorities, while overall suicide numbers are in steady decline.
"We urged (Japan) to take measures to ensure that children enjoy their childhood, without their childhood and development being harmed by the competitive nature of society," Kirsten Sandberg, one of a panel of 18 independent experts, told a briefing.
Japanese law prohibits corporal punishment in schools but the ban is "not effectively implemented," while many children also endure it at home, the U.N. panel said.
Japan was shocked last March by the death of 5-year-old Yua Funato, who left handwritten notes seeking forgiveness from her abusive parents.
The U.N. panel said children should have access to a 24/7 helpline.
It also criticized Japan for having lowered the minimum age for criminal punishment from 16 to 14 years, and said children were often removed from families and placed in institutions without a court order for being "likely to commit a crime."
Masato Ohtaka, of Japan's foreign ministry, told the panel that Japanese children faced challenges such as bullying, abuse, sexual exploitation and poverty, and that Japan aimed to establish a robust social system in which all generations could enjoy peace of mind.
In July, the Japanese government promised emergency steps to boost the number of child welfare workers by 60 percent within five years.
The Committee carries out a two-day review of countries' records every five years.

Germania was a Roman name originally given to tribe of people who lived along the Rhine River. They were a Teutonic people, who were first mentioned in the 4th century BC. The Gauls changed it from a name for a people to the name for the territory. This was a vast forested wilderness to the north that Rome knew very little about. It ran from the west on the River Rhenus (Rhine) to the east and the Carpathian Mountains and the River Vistula. On the north it was bounded by the North Sea and on the south by the River Hister (Danube).
Germania was home to a very large number of Germanic and a few Celtic tribes. The northern provinces of Germania were called "Germania Inferior". Some of the tribes known to live here were the Menapii, Batavi, Condrusi, Atuataci and Eburones. Close to the Roman fortifications on the east side of the Rhine lived the Frisii, Chauci, Istavones, Sicambri, Marsii, Cattii, and Ubii tribes. The Ubii were friendly with the Romans and provided cavalry as well as guarded the border for the Romans.
"Germania Superior", or southern Germania was home to the Triboci, Rauraci (Celtic), Nemetes, Caeroesi, Sequani (Gallic) and Helvetii (Gallic) tribes. To the east of the Rhine and along the Danube lived the Marvingii, Varisci (also called Nariscii), Burgundians, Hermunduri, Suebi and the Cherusci tribes.
During the Gallic War, Julius Caesar ended the Germanic presence in Alsace by destroying Ariovistus. He built a bridge across the Rhine in 55 BC and entered Germania. He convinced the Suebi and other tribes not to interfere in Gaul, which was Roman territory. Other than venturing into Germania a second time in 53 BC and warring against several tribes, he left Germania alone. This established the Rhine as the boundary between Germania and Roman Gaul. From 49–45 BC, Caesar was occupied by the Civil War. He was then assassinated in 44 BC.
The beginnings of the occupation of Germania by Rome was in 15 BC. The Foothills of the Alps were conquered during the reign of Augustus. This, together with the lands west of the Rhine conquered by Caesar became their foothold. The Romans attempted to bring under Roman rule the lands as far north as the River Elbe. In 7 AD Rome assumed Germania was under Roman rule when Publius Quinctilius Varus became governor of Roman occupied Germania. Since they were so powerful, the Romans did not count on any resistance from the German tribes.
In 9 AD Varus with three legions of top Roman troops, were moving up to a permanent base on the Rhine. There had been reports of a Rebellion by local tribes which Varus intended to deal with. Varis was confident that it would be easy to occupy Germany. He was a good administrator but not a soldier. While marching through the Teutoburg Forest, three crack legions of Rome's army were caught in an ambush. For three days up to 30.000 Roman soldiers, their families and slaves were killed by the peoples they called barbarians. The battle was Rome's greatest defeat.
Arminius, the German leader, understood both the strengths and weaknesses of the Roman army. He knew not to attack Roman legions in open battle. In the Teutoburg Forest he lured the 17th, 18th and 19th legions into an ambush. The battle was fought in several places during the encounter. Those who were not killed were taken captive. When Emperor Augustus heard the news he supposedly cried out "Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!" The numbers XVII (17), XVIII (18) and XIX (19) were never again used as legion numbers.
Germanicus was ordered to avenge the loss of the legions. In 14 AD he started the conquest of Germania again. However after two years he decided he had done enough to avenge Rome's great loss and returned to Rome. He left Germania to their own feuds. Arminius was murdered in 21 AD by relatives because of internal fighting.

News / "Largest Order of Hempcrete Blocks" used to build William's Den
Posted: 27 June 2017
Designed by Native Architects of York, the William's Den play barn, an adventure play complex, is opening this week, at Castle Farm, North Cave. Alex Sparrow of UK Hempcrete said "We are delighted to be working with Native Architects to provide a truly sustainable, low impact construction material for use in a building which will, in every sense, have a positive impact on future generations of children".
The blocks, manufactured by Equilibrium, are an environmentally friendly building material, being insulating, breathable, and "better-than-zero-carbon" – the hemp contained in the blocks absorbs more atmospheric carbon dioxide as it grows than is emitted in making the blocks, including the manufacture of the lime 'binder'. This atmospheric CO2 is then locked up ('sequestered') for the lifetime of the building.
The hempcrete blocks, which are 300 mm thick, are being used in the ground floor walls of the building – a play barn – with a total area of 174 m2 of blocks being installed. Hempcrete blocks are formed from hemp 'shiv', the chopped woody stem of the industrial hemp plant, combined with a binder of natural hydraulic lime.
Hempcrete blocks, which come in range of sizes, are non-loadbearing but provide a natural, chemical-free, vapour-permeable, insulation material which also has thermal mass, giving it a uniquely effective thermal performance.
With a U-value of 0.23 W/m2K for the 300 mm block, or 0.17 for the 400 mm block, these blocks meet current building regulations with ease. However due to the thermal mass element 'buffering' internal temperature changes, hempcrete out-performs what is expected from its U value alone. In addition, with its ability to absorb and release water vapour, and allow it to pass through the fabric of the wall, hempcrete creates healthy, damp- and mould-free (and chemical-free) indoor environments.

Just Engaged: Rosetta and Tommie
When Tommie asked Rosetta to invite all of their friends over for a Cinco de Mayo party, she had no idea she was planning her own surprise engagement!
By Myeisha Essex	· Updated October 28, 2020
A Moment in Time Belongs to Us
"He totally tricked me into planning my own surprise engagement," Rosetta, 31, said of her husband-to-be Tommie, 35, on their proposal night. "We planned to have a Cinco de Mayo party at his house and invited all of our friends and family. Everyone was having a great time, then he came out on the deck in the backyard, dressed in a suit, as the DJ played "So High" by John Legend. He called me over to his side, as he started to thank everyone for coming. Then, he turned to me and pulled out the ring. I started to cry. Of course, I said yes!"
Cendino Teme Photography
You Complete Me
Tommie says he's most looking forward to starting a family with his bride-to-be. "Rosetta has been a great girlfriend and fianceé, and I know she's going to be a great wife and mother," he says.
My Rock
"I am looking forward to building a family and forming a lasting Conner legacy with my fiancé," Rosetta says.
Symbol of My Love
"We had gone to look at rings and were talking a lot more about marriage, but I didn't know it was going to happen the day it actually did," Rosetta says. "He went to Jared and got me the Leo princess cut diamond, with smaller diamonds along the band on a platinum setting."
"If you're spying on us on a Friday night, you'll probably catch us out at a lounge dancing," Rosetta says. "One night we wanted to go some place we had never been. It was a random week day so we looked online and found a lounge spot. It was a different kind of crowd, but it ended up being fun!"
Our Special Day
"We're having a beach wedding," Rosetta tells us. "Our colors are fuchsia, khaki and white, and we will be honeymooning in Cancun and New York City."
Take My Breath Away
"The thing I love most about Rosetta is her spirit," Tommie says. "She is always up for a challenge and always eager to try new things. It inspires me."
Rosetta says, "When we're finally husband and wife, I can't wait to sign my name, Dr. Rosetta Conner!"
Family Approved!
"My friends really love Tommie for me," Rosetta says. "They can see how happy he makes me. They say he is a really good guy." And as far as her parents go, she says her mom really loves him too: "She can't wait to have another son-in-law. My dad likes him. He just wants him to take care of his baby girl."
Rosetta says Tommie always does thoughtful things for her. "But I think one of the sweetest," she says, "was when, after only knowing me for six months, he helped to move me from Atlanta to Tuskegee, AL for veterinary school."
In their spare time, Rosetta says she and Tommie love to take pictures. "His hobby is photography, and I love to be photographed, so we like to go find random areas in our city and take pictures," she says.
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
"I love our random adventures when we just go explore the city and look for cool places to take pictures or hang out," Tommie says.
You're Irresistible
Rosetta says the sexiest part of Tommie's body is his dimples.
Tommie said he fell in love with Rosetta because of the way she loves him. "It's a kind of love that doesn't require saying it because you can feel it," he says.
I Got Your Back
"He is the male version of me, in that, he is corny," Rosetta says. She describes her future husband as caring, generous and thoughtful, and he loves to have a good time!
Double the Fun
Rosetta says the day Tommie proposed was the happiest day of her entire life. Join us in wishing the happy couple congratulations. Be sure to share your thoughts and well-wishes below as well.
