Maybe You Should Talk To Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed By Lori Gottlieb
From a New York Times best-selling author, psychotherapist, and national advice columnist, a hilarious, thought-provoking, and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world—where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she).
One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.
As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives — a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys — she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.
With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.

The Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated: Unlocking the Secret of Joyful Giving by Randy Alcorn
Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today.
Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources.
Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we've overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can't take it with us—but we can send it on ahead!
Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to "lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven," He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you'll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving.
Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won't want it to be.
"Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it."
– John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

We haven't finished our final pieces just yet but we've had great fun trying out lots of techniques. The class voted for 3 things in the picture that they found interesting and 3 different materials they would like to use. The results were 'the mesmerising smoky sky' in chalk and charcoal, 'the icy river' in paint and 'the mysterious skyscrapers' using collage.


What does life look like when faith is all you have? Dennis Rainey welcomes Jim Leininger into the studio to talk about the release of his new movie, "Alone Yet Not Alone," a film based on a true story about two young sisters during the French and Indian War who are taken captive by hostile natives. While waiting for their rescue, the girls are comforted by the words of a family hymn, Alone Yet Not Alone. But when the girls are suddenly and cruelly separated, their faith is stretched even further.
Bob: When Jim Leininger began exploring his family tree, he found that some of his relatives were pretty famous.
Jim: The reason their story is famous is that the older two girls, actually, were able to escape with two English boys and make it back to civilization— which, in that case, was Fort Pitt. These kids—when they decided to run for their lives, literally—crossed countless rivers and mountains. Historically speaking, I believe there were thousands taken captive; but they are the only children, in the history of Pennsylvania, that ever successfully escaped from the Indians.
Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Friday, September 27th. Our host is the President of FamilyLife®, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. We'll hear the story of Barbara and Regina Leininger today and hear about the new motion picture that shares their story with the world. Stay tuned.
Bob: Typically, a hunter or a fisherman who we bring in here.
Bob: Just take over the whole thing?
Bob: We could do that.
Dennis: —the San Antonio Spurs.
Actually, I was thinking you should start off by acknowledging to our listeners the nickname that I've come to be known by, here at FamilyLife—the way people refer to me around the hall. You know?
Dennis: —for your work on The Art of Marriage® and Stepping Up™.
Bob: Maybe; maybe today, at least. That's right.
Dennis: Jim Leininger joins us from San Antonio. Jim, welcome to the broadcast.
Jim: Thank you, Dennis. And just let me say I knew Bob before he came to Little Rock—when he was back in San Antonio—and he was just one of us guys, back then.
Dennis: Well, Jim has been married to Cecelia since 1972, just like Barbara and me. They have four children and, soon to be, nine grandchildren. Jim, you have a passion—Bob referred to it—you have a passion around movies.
You know, I'm thinking here—first of all, Bob—I'm about to take him in the direction of Cecil B. Lepine in movies—we've got to clear up the San Antonio Spur connection here.
Bob: Well, we both lived in San Antonio. You've been involved with the team a little bit; right?
Bob: He's a man who has represented Christ well. So, they got David Robinson posters in their rooms at home, and he's been a great role model for them.
Jim: He's a fine man—as fine a person as I've ever known and met. Still, today, when they introduce him at games—I mean, standing ovation. He is beloved by the people.
Bob: It's interesting, to me, Dennis, talking about your interest in movies because you told me the last time you went to a theater was to see Rocky.
Jim: Yes. Well, until The Passion of the Christ. We went back to the theater for The Passion of the Christ. So, about a 25-year hiatus—I don't know exactly.
Jim: One of those things I swore I'd never do. We've just completed the production of our second movie and have helped with the promotion of a third movie. So, we're getting involved in films that are family-friendly and God-honoring, exclusively. That's the only thing we're going to do.
Bob: Why movies, Jim? I mean, here's a guy who went to see Rocky and then The Passion of the Christ, 25 years later. It's not like you're at home, eating popcorn every Friday night, watching a DVD.
Jim: Well, we did watch a lot of DVDs. They were mostly Christian films that were made back in the 80s and in the 90s. For the most part, they weren't up to the standard of a good Hollywood blockbuster movie, by any stretch of the imagination. It's not easy, as you know, Cecil. [Laughter] Our goal is to make really quality films, and that is a huge undertaking.
Dennis: It is. And you're doing it because, in your heart of hearts, you have a passion for people to turn their hearts toward Jesus Christ and the Scriptures. You are, also, a storyteller. You like stories.
Jim: I love to tell stories. You know, our children—when we were raising them—every night at bedtime, there would be two or three stories before I could get out of the bedroom. So, it was just extemporaneous. You know, just spontaneous—whatever they wanted to hear about. I'd always include them in the story. Never thought of myself as a storyteller; but I loved doing it, and they loved hearing it. So, it just sort of evolved that way.
Bob: Tell everybody about the movie that you've been working on, most recently, because this is a movie that is opening, this weekend, in Atlanta, in Raleigh, Durham—Knoxville, Tennessee, in Nashville—Grand Rapids, Colorado Springs, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio. Depending on how it does in those cities, it's targeted for a broader release on February 21st. Tell everybody about the movie.
Jim: Okay, the movie is called Alone Yet Not Alone. It's about three little girls who were attacked. Their family was on the frontier of Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War in 1755—was attacked by Indians. The adults, for the most part, were killed. Children—many of them—were taken captive and taken west into western Pennsylvania first. Then—as the British, later in the war—were drawing closer, they took them all the way on into Ohio to Moschinko Indian village, which was on the Muskingum River and is today the city of Zanesville, Ohio.
So, they took these poor little girls—two were age 12 and one was age 9—from eastern Pennsylvania—I don't know—hundreds of miles—three to four hundred miles into eastern Ohio. They had no idea where they were, obviously. They were just dragged through the woods as little children. The reason their story is famous is that the older two girls, who were taken to the same Indian village, actually, were able to escape with two English boys and make it back to civilization—which, in that case, was Fort Pitt, which is now Pittsburgh. They had no idea where they were going—across countless rivers and mountains. And neither one of the girls could swim. So, it was a challenging run, to say the very least.
Historically speaking, I believe they are the only children—in the history of Pennsylvania—that ever successfully escaped from the Indians. There were thousands taken captive. That's how they replenished the Indian tribes, but none ever were able to escape.
Dennis: Yes, I was sitting there, next to you, watching the movie. You came in here, at Little Rock, and had a private showing for our staff. They thoroughly enjoyed it.
Dennis: They really did enjoy it. I have to say, from the very start, the music score is magnificent—and the scenery and the setting for it—but the story pulls you right in. You begin to identify with these young ladies.
Dennis: —as a part of it.
Jim: Yes. When an Indian tribe attacked another tribe, what would happen is the warriors would go, out front, and battle the invading Indians. The women, and children, and old people would go running through the woods—out the back door, if you will. Whatever side won, they would take the women, and children, and whoever in that tribe to replace the warriors that were wounded or killed. The children—you can imagine the death rates among children—many didn't survive.
Then, in the movie, they talk about the white man's pox, which is small pox. Those things caused the decimation of the native populations of America.
Bob: Part of the undercurrent for this film is that the children are sustained through all of their hardships by a faith that was passed on to them from a mother and a father—a faithful, godly mom and dad—who taught them the Scriptures in the evenings, read the Bible to them, and prepared them for the hardships they'd be facing. There's a faith undercurrent to this film that's very real and very powerful.
Jim: —the death rates were very high. Every step of the way, you were looking death in the face. So, if you didn't have faith—either that or you were a tremendous adventurer—you would never chance this or risk it. So, many of the colonists—the early colonists that came—were believers, who were seeking freedom of religion—especially, in the state—or the colony, at the time—of Pennsylvania, where William Penn was a Quaker. He, literally, went around Europe, seeking religious groups that would come to Pennsylvania. So, probably more than any other colony, you had a very strong religious background in Pennsylvania.
But of all times—Quakers were probably predominant; but Barbara and Regina—the two girls, the 12- and 9-year-old—were German Lutheran. Their next door neighbor and dearest friend was Maria LeRoy, who was from Switzerland and was Amish. So, I think in every colony, the faith community was strong but, particularly, so in Pennsylvania.
Dennis: The way you weave faith into this movie—it's just a part of the fabric of this family's life. You really believe that's important.
Jim: Oh, absolutely. I think that—you know, we can't even comprehend, today, how dependent people were in the 1700's on God—you know, for fires, for Indian attacks—I mean, just overwhelming circumstances they had no control over. So, this—the particular family—Barbara and Regina's family—they had memorized Bible verses. They sang Christian hymns. That's, ultimately, how Regina got back to find her mother, after being gone for almost ten years, as a captive of the Indians.
Dennis: There is one scene where, I believe, it was Barbara who ran away and was placed on a stake about to be burned and started—they were going to burn her at the stake for running away! She started quoting hymns and singing the song that her mother had sung to her, as a little girl.
Jim: Yes, and that's accurate—historically-accurate. She did attempt to escape when they took her younger sister away, who she had promised that she would never leave her. You know, when the Indians divided up, they always divided families. They knew these two were sisters—so, they went to different villages. Of course, Barbara never knew where her sister went; but she tried to get her back. She jumped on a horse and tried to find her, but they captured her.
So, it's a true story. We know all the details of it—which is so unusual—but once the girls did escape and get back to Philadelphia, there was a great clamor among the people because there were over 2,200 children that had been taken captive and had disappeared. So, all the relatives and all the families wanted to find these girls and find out if they knew anything about their loved ones.
Jim: —and they knew every detail. I think it was like 27 of the children of other families that they were able to identify what happened to them or where they were taken. Of course, they didn't get any of them back; but at least, it gave the families some solace to know that they were still alive and were healthy.
Dennis: This would make a great movie to take your 10-, 11-, 12-year-old to go see—just to have them identify with other children who began to live out their faith on their own.
Bob: —from The Patriot. It's just—it's a part of our heritage that, I think, we've lost touch with. So, to be reconnected with that is powerful. Of course, the story of these kids—their bravery, running away, travelling hundreds of miles to get to safety—that's a compelling story—but it was even more compelling for you for a particular reason. That's because of the last name of Barbara and Regina; right?
Jim: Yes. That's Barbara and Regina Leininger. We heard about the story, probably 30 years ago, just through family means and through the writings of Pastor Muhlenberg, who was the original missionary from the Lutheran Church in Germany to the Colony of Pennsylvania. He's very beloved, and was a great missionary and pastor, and is known as "The Father of the Lutheran Church in America".
He was so impressed with Regina, when she got back, because she couldn't speak a word of English or German; but when he gave her the Bible, she could read it perfectly in German, even though she had forgotten how to speak it.
Bob: How to speak it?
Jim: How to speak it, yes.
Jim: Yes. He, actually, wrote back—and this is what we originally found—was he wrote back to the Lutheran church in Germany, talking about how important it is to inculcate, as early as possible, in these children, God's Word because it stays there. It never goes away.
That's what helped us to so organically portray their faith in this movie. You know, you don't have to hit people over the head with it because they were desperate. I mean, they were little children—where their families had been killed, or their cabins burned, and dragged off into the wilderness by people that were so very different than anything they'd been around.
Bob: Have you been able to figure out whether Regina and Barbara are eighth cousins, once removed, or where they fit in the Leininger family tree?
Jim: No, I haven't because we'd have to go back to—most of the Leiningers are from two little villages in Alsace-Lorraine. That's where they were from, and that's where we are from. So, I am sure—way back there, somewhere—but in order to find that out, you'd have to go back to those villages, and go to the churches, and trace the ancestry all the way back.
Bob: And you haven't done that yet?
Dennis: Jim, you mentioned this is your first movie. There is a second one coming that is in process. I'm excited about it, as well. Just salt our listeners down just a little because they are going to be hearing more about this one, later on in the year.
Jim: Yes, the second movie is To Have and to Hold. It's a movie based on a book by Mary Johnston. She wrote it in 1907 for the 300th Anniversary of Jamestown. Then, it was republished in 2007 for the 400th Anniversary. That's when we found out about it.
The story is about Jamestown. It was a huge national bestseller, when it came out in 1907—was very popular. They made a silent movie out of it. Then, they made—when sound movies first came out, they made a movie, with sound on it. Then, it just kind of was lost in the 1930s; but the story is fabulous. It's a very popular story, historically, in America. It's all about the founding of Jamestown—the founding of our country.
Bob: And about the fact that 300 men came to settle Jamestown. Somebody forgot to tell them that life was going to be hard here, without women. So, "maiden ships" came with wives for these 300 colonists; right?
Bob: For our listeners, who would like to see—and again, the movie that is just, now, coming out is a movie called Alone Yet Not Alone. If folks would like to see the trailer for that, they can go to our website: FamilyLifeToday.com. We've got a link there so they can watch the film trailer. Then, if they want to know when the film is going to be coming to their city, that's on your website as well; right?
Bob: If you just go to FamilyLifeToday.com and click on the link we have there, that will take you right there. You can watch the trailer and find out when the film is coming to your community, but we hope families will go see it.
Dennis: I do. And this is a safe movie to bring a neighbor and, perhaps, their family—again, 10 and up—I would think would be perfect. Again, because it shows the journey of these young ladies—a journey of faith—all because they listened to what their mom and dad taught them.
Dennis: That's what this illustrates. As you illustrate it through this great movie, you give parents—not merely permission—but courage to hang in there, even when it feels like your kids aren't listening because if those girls hadn't listened—I don't know how you are connected—but you might not be here today.
I mean, seriously, Jim! I mean, you are, in essence, a part of the spiritual legacy and the generational passing of a love for Christ that, maybe, somehow is tied all the way back to those 9-, 10-, 11-year-old girls, who believed what their parents taught them about the Scriptures, and refused to fall into unbelief, but trusted God in tough circumstances.
Jim: And they had no place else to turn but to God; but they were firmly-rooted, and they didn't want to worship the Indian gods. They wanted to be Christian. What spurred them to escape, when they did, was, when the Indians left to go to Fort Pitt, there were only two warriors left in the village to guard and defend against anybody escaping and to protect the old people and the young children.
The chief's son wanted to marry Barbara Leininger. She had been pretending to be ill; and so, she was separated and put off in a long house for the sick people. The chief came to her, the day they left to go to Fort Pitt, and said, "Three days after we get back, we will have a marriage ceremony,"—meaning: "I'm tired of these delays. You will marry my son." So, she knew she had to get out of there.
Jim: That is exactly what it came down to. I think that's portrayed well in the movie, and their faith is the only thing they had. It's the only thing that sustained them; and if they had not had that, they'd have just been lost.
Bob: Yes, and that's so clear in the film. I'm excited for our listeners—in Atlanta, and in Raleigh, Durham, and Knoxville, and Nashville, and Grand Rapids, and Colorado Springs, and Denver, and Houston, and San Antonio—who are going to get a chance to see the movie this weekend because it's opening in those cities. Then, the plan is—nationwide, February 21st—but it all depends on folks getting out to see the movie in those cities this weekend. So, we hope folks will go see Alone Yet Not Alone.
The story is also told in a companion book, which we have in our FamilyLife Today Resource Center. Go to our website: FamilyLifeToday.com.

What are the warnings for taking Metoprolol (Lopressor)?
Warnings when taking Metoprolol (Lopressor / Toprol XL)?
What are the side effects of Metoprolol (Lopressor / Toprol XL)?
Can Metoprolol (Lopressor / Toprol XL) interfere with other medications?
Metoprolol is a treatment and not a cure for the conditions it is used to treat. It may take a few weeks before you start to notice the benefits of the medication. Certain allergies may exacerbate any reactions to the drug, this can include being unresponsive to epinephrine. If you have asthma, suffer from heart failure or a slow heart rate (bradycardia), beta blocker medications are generally not recommended.
Doctors usually do not prescribe the drug to those who suffer from diabetes or people older than 65. However, this is often dependent on the health status of the person concerned. It is always best to consult with a doctor and discuss the suitability of the medication being prescribed should you have any pre-existing health condition. Full medical history disclosure and current medication use during any medical consultation is always advisable to ensure your safety.
Metoprolol carries an FDA Black Box Warning, the highest possible alert this organisation can issue to a user of the potential dangers of a drug. This warning is issued in regard to the dangers of the sudden discontinuation of Metoprolol which has been reported to worsen chest pain (angina), irregular heartbeat (ventricular arrhythmias) and may increase the risk of a heart attack (myocardial infarction). Beta blocker therapy, especially in those suffering from coronary artery disease (CAD), should be tapered off over a week or two to avoid increased heart rate (tachycardia), high blood pressure (hypertension) and inadequate circulation (ischemia).
Asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): It is best not to take metoprolol if you are asthmatic or have other breathing related issues. This is due to the fact that metoprolol is able to block receptors in the breathing passages, narrowing them and worsening any breathing problems you may have.
Cerebrovascular disease: Due to its effects on blood pressure and heart rate, doctors will prescribe metoprolol with caution in those with cerebrovascular disease (a group of conditions that affect blood supply to the brain) or who have suffered from a stroke. If blood flow to the brain is compromised after the drug is used, which is usually indicated by signs and symptoms of dizziness, visual disturbances (double vision), difficulty with speech (slurring or garbled speech) and/or falls (drop attacks), an alternative will be prescribed.
Diabetes: Metoprolol can eliminate tremors and increase heart rate in some, which are both helpful indicators when monitoring low blood sugar. If these signals are not present, it can be more difficult to recognise the signs of low blood sugar, thus making it dangerous for people with diabetes mellitus to take the drug.
Liver disease: Metoprolol is cleared in the liver, as such, doctors will be cautious of prescribing the drug to those with severely impaired liver function. In cases where this drug is prescribed, dosages will be lowered, especially when extended-release forms of metoprolol are used, and gradually increased to an effective therapeutic level.
Myasthenia gravis: This condition which causes weakness and fatigue of the muscles may be exacerbated by metoprolol use. Double vision has also been reported due to its use in those with this condition.
Pheochromocytoma: In those with diagnosed or suspected pheochromocytoma (a hormone secreting tumour of the adrenal glands) metoprolol will only be prescribed with an alpha-blocker and should only be taken after alpha-blocker therapy has started to avoid dangerous elevations in blood pressure due to reduced dilation of the blood vessels (vasodilation).
Poor blood circulation: Having bad circulation in your hands and feet can be worsened by taking metoprolol as the drug decreases blood pressure, resulting in less blood flow to these areas.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Metoprolol is a category C drug, this means that research conducted on animals has shown negative effects on the foetus when the mother is taking the drug. In addition, it means that there haven't been enough studies conducted on humans to draw conclusive findings on how this drug will affect an unborn child. Metoprolol can enter breast milk and be passed to a baby when breastfeeding, which can be dangerous to the health of the baby.
Psychiatric disease: It is important to mention any previous diagnoses of psychiatric disease to your doctor (if he/she does not have your full medical history) as metoprolol can cause or worsen Central Nervous System depression.
Skin Conditions: Metoprolol may cause or worsen skin conditions like psoriasis and eczematous lesions (signs of eczema).
Seniors: Seniors are often given a smaller dose of metoprolol first, with dosages then increasing gradually.
Surgery: You should let your doctor know if you are expecting to have surgery, this also includes dental surgery.
Thyroid disease (hyperthyroidism and thyrotoxicosis): Metoprolol may mask the symptoms of thyroid disease like elevated heart rate (tachycardia) which is useful for monitoring purposes and lead to changes in thyroid function tests. If you have a confirmed thyroid disease, a doctor will prescribe this medication with caution.

Concrete additives are chemicals and materials blended into the cement to alter its performance. Additives provide a specific benefit for a particular job. Liquid additives used during cement grinding improve the strength of the cement. Concrete bonding additive bonds old concrete to new for interior and exterior jobs like wall capping and resurfacing. Color additives give concrete a stylish look. Whatever the job, concrete additives help get it done.
Cold weather concrete has superior properties to concrete placed in hot weather. At low temperatures, though, concrete sets and gains strength more slowly because the cement doesn't hydrate as fast. Setting time is increased about one-third for each 10 degree decrease in concrete temperature down to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Accelerating admixtures can help to offset these effects of low temperatures on setting and strength gain. They should meet the requirements of ASTM C 494, Standard Specifications for Chemical Admixtures for Concrete.
Sinofloc provides concrete additives for cold weather and concrete additives for waterproofing, which can be widely used in Construction.

Q: How do I implement a callback to update Jotai state? I currently have an asynchronous connectWallet function embedded within a React component (Modal Form) that I want to make global/available for multiple components.
Unfortunately, the function itself references jotai atoms that exist within the Modal Form.
export function ConnectWalletModal({ onClose }: IConnectWalletModalProps) {
  const [, setWalletAddress] = useAtom(walletAddressAtom);
  const [, setWalletBalance] = useAtom(walletBalanceAtom);
  const [isWalletConnected, setIsWalletConnected] = useAtom(
    isWalletConnectedAtom
  );

  const connectWallet = async () => {
    try {
      //CONNECTION LOGIC...

      //Jotai
      setWalletAddress(accounts[0]);
      setWalletBalance(+bal);
      setIsWalletConnecting(false);
      setIsWalletConnected(true);

      onClose();
    } catch (error) {}
  };

I feel like the easiest way is to export the connectWallet function outside of the component. I won't have access to the jotai atoms but maybe I can add an "onConnectSuccessful" callback function to the connectWallet arguments.
Then wherever I call connectWallet, I can pass an extra argument which will be a function that accepts the address and balance as arguments and sets the jotai state.
Problem is that I am not sure how to structure this syntax...

with Liz Berry
Mondays, 7-9pm, starting 7 March then 14, 21, 28 March and 4 April 2022
THIS COURSE IS NOW SOLD OUT.
Writing poems and making those poems sing can feel like a hard and mysterious business; but it's also one of the greatest adventures we can undertake. Our poems can be spells, keys, maps, awakenings and transformations.
If you've been writing for a little while and are keen to push your poems further or recapture the play in your practice, join award-winning poet Liz Berry for a series of lively workshops designed to help inspire new poems and polish existing work.
In this 5-week advanced course we'll work together to craft, edit and share poems which feel meaningful and true to us, while exploring and experimenting with form, voice and subject.
Playful, challenging and nurturing, this course is suitable for poets who already have some experience of writing.
Liz Berry's first book of poems, Black Country (Chatto 2014), described as a 'sooty, soaring hymn to her native West Midlands' (Guardian) was a Poetry Book Society Recommendation, received a Somerset Maugham Award and won the Geoffrey Faber Memorial Award and Forward Prize for Best First Collection 2014. Her latest pamphlet is The Republic of Motherhood (Chatto, 2018) and the title poem has been shortlisted for the Forward Prize for Best Single Poem. Liz has been a judge for many major poetry prizes and works as a mentor and tutor for organisations including the Arvon Foundation, The Poetry School and Writing West Midlands.


A recent case has brought into focus a little known criterion that must be satisfied before you can get relief from capital gains tax on the sale of shares acquired under the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
In order to qualify for CGT relief, you must have had income tax relief on the original subscription.
This was not known to the victim in the case who had no income tax liability when he subscribed for the shares and so never made an income tax relief claim.
HMRC successfully defended their position when he took them to Tribunal.
The lesson to take from this is always make a claim for income tax relief when you acquire EIS shares even if there is little or no value to the claim. This might even necessitate creating taxable income where there might have been none. Without it, you may not get the CGT exemption you thought you would.


Lens Buying Guide – Photography Style - Which Lens Should I Use?
You are at:Home»Tips and Tutorials»Lens Buying Guide – Photography Style – Which Lens Should I Use?
Photography Style… What kind of photographer are you?
There are more types of photography styles than we could possibly list here, but we've compiled a short list of the most common types and include suggested lenses and accessories you might want to consider.
Everyone loves a good landscape photograph. That's why it's worth exploring what equipment considerations are important to a scenic photographer. Weight is one, and it may contribute to the types of lenses you are willing to purchase. Chances are you will have to travel a distance to take your landscape photographs, so you should ask yourself: would you prefer a single zoom lens to cover a range of focal lengths or a fixed lens that achieves greater clarity but is restricted to a single focal length?
For stunning landscape shots with a focus on the foreground, a wide angle lens with a 20mm to 35mm focal length would be ideal. Keep in mind that wide angle lenses do tend to make the foreground dominate the photograph, as it will be disproportionately large compared to the background.
Sweeping landscape shots and subjects that are far off in the distance require entirely different lenses. Telephoto lenses come in varying focal lengths and are ideal for capturing mountains and scenery that are far off in the distance. If nature photography is what you prefer, you'll find a telephoto makes capturing animals easy, since you and your equipment will not interrupt their natural movement.
Have you ever considered the accessories that can help improve colour, intensity and exposure of your outdoor photography? On a bright sunny day, the colours of your scene may be vibrant and intense, but may require some extra control. Neutral density filters reduce the amount of light without changing the colour. The benefit is that they come in a wide range of densities and can help prevent overexposure. They can also help if you want to shoot using a certain f/stop or shutter speed and you need to darken an over bright scene.
Photographs of water may show unwanted reflections; by adding a polarizing filter, you can eliminate those reflections (an impossible task on digital editing software) as well as improve the colour and contrast of your image.
Colour-enhancing filters may help intensify your orange and red colours in the fall or cool down images of waterfalls and lakes. The sky is the limit with the many filters that are readily available.
Assuming that you will be outside as a landscape photographer, you may want to consider investing in some weather protection gear for your equipment. Some lenses are built to be water-resistant and there are a variety of covers, bags, and carrying cases that can help you protect your investment.
Capturing the joy of someone's wedding day could require a number of different lenses, depending on your style of photography and the conditions at the locations. A single day could involve challenging outdoor shooting, portraits, indoor low-lighting, fast subjects, distant shooting and even close-ups. In addition, the increasingly popular documentary style or lifestyle photography may dictate lens and accessory choices, since it enables the photographer to capture candid moments on the wedding day when guests are at their most natural.
On a bright, sunny day you will be fortunate to have great lighting without the worry of rain! Use a wide angle lens (ultra-wide for large group) if you are doing portraits outside. Be sure to bring a reflector as it will fill in shadows and provide more even lighting of your subjects. Although white and silver are the standard colours for reflectors, there are special ones that are "warming" (gold or pinkish) that enhance skin tones. If it is too sunny, neutral density filters will help by reducing the amount of light without changing the colour. These filters come in a wide range of densities and can help prevent overexposure.
This can be the most difficult shooting situation for wedding photographers. To eliminate blur and underexposed images, a fast lens is essential. A lens with a f-stop lower than 2.8 is ideal for capturing the wedding party walking down the aisle and guests who are milling about. Keeping your camera on a sturdy tripod at the ceremony will not only reduce blur but will produce super sharp images. Again, a wide angle lens is great for close quarters as you will be able to capture a wider field of view than a standard lens.
If you are permitted to use a flash during the ceremony and reception, you can add accessories like a Lightsphere to your flash to create softer shadows and studio-like lighting images in dark lighting scenarios. This is ideal for hand-held shooting, while a full lighting system would be ideal for portrait photography.
If your client requests portraits, a tripod is a must to ensure crisp images. Remember your final print and picture frame dimensions because it is inevitable that some of your images will be cropped to a certain degree. Allow enough empty space around the subject(s) to ensure important parts of your image are not cropped off during printing.
A short telephoto lens is ideal for head and shoulder portraits. The telephoto allows you to stand farther back from the subject (you would need to be much closer in distance with a wide angle) and, as a result, the subject can be more relaxed and comfortable without a lens too close to their face. It will provide a natural perspective and enough depth of field to make the face sharp and clear.
Special warming filters can be added to your lens that are specially designed for enhancing skin tones. Even special softening, soft focus or diffusing filters allows you to add a dreamy effect that is very popular in wedding photos.
For formal portraits, set up your studio lighting in a secluded space away from the reception so there is less distraction; that way your shoot will run smoother and you'll make better images.
Zoom lenses will make it easier for you shoot hand held as you will be able to capture the wedding party and their guests in all their spontaneity. For informal images, like guests dancing and socializing to the reception line, a zoom lens is ideal since you can change your focal length at will without having to change the lens every time.
For speeches and cutting the cake, a fixed lens can be used in order to capture the sharpest image. Since you will be standing a fixed distance, a zoom lens is not required.
Other accessories to aid in your shoot can include brackets that provide a comfortable weight balance between your camera and flash and sturdy cases to protect your equipment in high traffic areas.
Lighting is the biggest challenge a product photographer can face, so choosing the proper studio lighting and lenses is essential to capturing catalogue-quality images for your clients. Depending on the product, reflective materials can create troublesome stray light, and hotspots. Also, very light objects can be underexposed and appear washed out. How do you capture clear materials like glass and plastic?
Focusing – It's important to ensure that the product is completely in focus. After all, the product is the "hero" of the photograph and your images must represent the item as it would be viewed by the human eye. It is recommended that you manually focus your camera/lens instead of using the auto focus function (if applicable). Most digital cameras capture large objects beautifully but have trouble getting precise focus of smaller objects. Setting your camera to spot focus mode will give you more control on what parts of the frame the lens is focusing on.
Lighting – A large variety of studio lighting is useful for product photography. These include softboxes, strobe lighting, reflection umbrellas and more. That said, creating a custom studio for your needs is easy. It's even easier of you use a self-contained studio – the kind that is designed for small product photography and with lighting and diffusion already arranged in one unit.
Details – Capturing texture and details may be essential to your photography and you can choose a macro lens to ensure crisp, detailed photographs. Use a tripod and a shutter release to avoid camera shake. Tricky items that are made out of reflective materials can be shot in contained lighting structures (a Cubelite, for example). This gives you maximum control over the lighting. Placing your product on a different coloured base will help enhance the product's colour instead of washing it out. If you want to achieve a more three dimensional look (shooting the object on an angle), consider using a shift/tilt lens as it will provide you better depth of field and control over it.
Capturing an athlete in action requires super-fast, super-steady lenses. At professional sport events, photographers are so far away from the field that they use large telephoto lenses on tripods to get their shots. Ultra telephoto lenses can capture subjects far off in the distance and bring them in closer. Using a focal length of 200mm or great is ideal. A super fast lens is essential for capturing movement without blur. An f-stop of 2.8mm or lower is helpful to capture your subjects as they run across the field.
An extreme wide angle is great for capturing overview shots of the field or to show several players in action. Because sports photography is so fast paced, it might be necessary to set up more than one camera at once to cover the entire field in a split second.
Remember to always have extra batteries and cameras on hand; the event will not pause for you, so be prepared! Sport photographers take several hundred photographs at any one event. That's why you should ensure you have enough digital media storage to handle heavy shooting, since you will not have time to download your digital photos onto an external hard drive.


"....In "Origins," Maalouf focuses mainly on his grandfather Botros, a schoolteacher who, having failed in business (he wanted to grow tobacco in the Bekaa plain), lives instead "between notebooks and inkwells"; and on his more successfully entrepreneurial great uncle Gebrayel (his grandfather's younger brother), who left Lebanon in late 1895 for the United States and three years later for Cuba. They are a study in contrasts. Botros, a dandified intellectual determined to bring enlightenment to his corner of the mountains, scandalously refuses to have his children baptized, sets up a "Universal School" and roams his village bareheaded in a suit and cape, while Gebrayel establishes a successful retail business in Havana, only to die there under tragic circumstances...."

The Political Economy of Regulation in Turkey brings together leading international scholars and experts on Turkey and regulatory reform to provide essential information on the recent Turkish experience and its relation to competition policy. After the 1980 liberalization reform, Turkey tried to introduce competition in many industries, but network industries have remained as monopolies. At the end of the 1990s, regulatory reform was initiated and independent regulatory agencies have been established by the government. Comprehensive discussions of these network industries, in particular airlines, electricity, natural gas, telecommunications and environment regulations, are offered. The contributors inquire how economic theory and historical analyses can enlighten the character of market processes and the role for government action in these industries, and the contributions shed light on the very recent changes in the regulatory structure and important legal cases that shape the future of regulated industries. This book discusses these issues in an international perspective and relates the Turkish experience to other similar countries, such as in Eastern Europe and Central America. This book serves as a useful guide to those who want to understand major changes in Turkey and regulatory reforms in other emerging markets, making it of interest to researchers and PhD students concerned with regulatory economics, the Turkish economy, and economic policy in emerging markets.

Chicago Blackhawks Numbers: Post Circus Trip
By Keith Schultz
Nov 13, 2016; Chicago, IL, USA; Chicago Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford (50) takes a break during the second period against the Montreal Canadiens at the United Center. Mandatory Credit: Dennis Wierzbicki-USA TODAY Sports /
The Chicago Blackhawks are finally back home after their season long 7 game road trip thanks to the circus. Today we take a look at some of the numbers through the first two months of the season.
This has to be the hardest stat to swallow still through two months. The Hawks penalty kill was so bad the first month of the season that it's still almost an entire 5% behind the second to last team in this category the Calgary Flames. That being said the PK has been much improved since Dennis Rasmussen carved out his niche on this unit.
The Chicago Blackhawks rank 10th in the NHL is goals scored per game. They seem to score in bunches lately, but before the Circus trip they were the most consistent scoring team in the NHL until they started getting shut out on the road. I miss the days back when the Hawks scored 5 goals seemingly every other night, but I have a feeling the young kids are about to start scoring a lot more.
This number scares me more than most. Without Jonathan Toews in the lineup it was even worse with the Blackhawks winning about 27% of all faceoffs. Artem Anisimov is terrible at faceoffs which makes possession of the puck a struggle at times for the 2nd line. Marcus Kruger and whoever centers the other bottom 6 line has to improve quickly in this category.
Corey Crawford is 4th in the NHL with minutes played among all goalies in the NHL. Crawford is a workhorse and is sporting a career high .924 save percentage which is even higher when it's 5 on 5 action. If you are looking for a stat that explains the Chicago Blackhawks success so far this season all you have to do is look at how good a season both Crawford and Scott Darling are having. If they start to falter start worrying about the 2nd half of the season.

Patrick Kane is still a point a game player this season, and it seems like he hasn't even starting warming up yet. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing, but I want to believe he's about to get red hot and start piling up the points like he did last season. He's been juggled around on lines more than last season, so let's see if December brings us plenty of goals in our stockings.
Next: Don't Worry About Faceoffs....Right??
There's one thing that Joel Quenneville loves and that's winning which the Chicago Blackhawks have been able to do more than anyone else in the Central Division. Will they be able to keep winning while getting out shot, losing faceoffs, and not possessing the puck is to be seen, but the one thing they have more than the rest is the heart of a champion.

Q: How does protocol buffer handle versioning? How does protocol buffers handle type versioning?
For example, when I need to change a type definition over time? Like adding and removing fields.

A: Google designed protobuf to be pretty forgiving with versioning:

*

*unexpected data is either stored as "extensions" (making it round-trip safe), or silently dropped, depending on the implementation

*new fields are generally added as "optional", meaning that old data can be loaded successfully

however:

*

*do not renumber fields - that would break existing data

*you should not normally change the way any given field is stored (i.e. from a fixed-with 32-bit int to a "varint")

Generally speaking, though - it will just work, and you don't need to worry much about versioning.

A: I know this is an old question, but I ran into this recently. The way I got around it is using facades, and run-time decisions to serialize. This way I can deprecate/upgrade a field into a new type, with old and new messages handling it gracefully.
I am using Marc Gravell's protobuf.net (v2.3.5), and C#, but the theory of facades would work for any language and Google's original protobuf implementation.
My old class had a Timestamp of DateTime which I wanted to change to include the "Kind" (a .NET anachronism). Adding this effectively meant it serialized to 9 bytes instead of 8, which would be a breaking serialization change!
    [ProtoMember(3, Name = "Timestamp")]
    public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }

A fundamental of protobuf is NEVER to change the proto ids! I wanted to read old serialized binaries, which meant "3" was here to stay.
So,
I renamed the old property and made it private (yes, it can still deserialize through reflection magic), but my API no longer shows it useable!
    [ProtoMember(3, Name = "Timestamp-v1")]
    private DateTime __Timestamp_v1 = DateTime.MinValue;

I created a new Timestamp property, with a new proto id, and included the DateTime.Kind
    [ProtoMember(30002, Name = "Timestamp", DataFormat = ProtoBuf.DataFormat.WellKnown)]
    public DateTime Timestamp { get; set; }

I added a "AfterDeserialization" method to update our new time, in the case of old messages
    [ProtoAfterDeserialization]
    private void AfterDeserialization()
    {
        //V2 Timestamp includes a "kind" - we will stop using __Timestamp - so keep it up to date
        if (__Timestamp_v1 != DateTime.MinValue)
        {
            //Assume the timestamp was in UTC - as it was...
            Timestamp = new DateTime(__Timestamp_v1.Ticks, DateTimeKind.Utc)     //This is for old messages - we'll update our V2 timestamp...
        }
    }

Now, I have the old and new messages serializing/deserializing correctly, and my Timestamp now includes DateTime.Kind! Nothing broken.
However, this does mean that BOTH fields will be in all new messages going forward. So the final touch is to use a run-time serialization decision to exclude the old Timestamp (note this won't work if it was using protobuf's required attribute!!!)
    bool ShouldSerialize__Timestamp_v1()
    {
        return __Timestamp_v1 != DateTime.MinValue;
    }

And thats it. I have a nice unit test which does it from end-to-end if anyone wants it...
I know my method relies on .NET magic, but I reckon the concept could be translated to other languages....
