Films: The Movies of 1939
Posted on October 29, 2010 by Robin Chalkley | 3 comments
The Wizard of Oz is universally regarded as one of the best movies of all time - yet you could argue that there were at least a half dozen better in 1939. Uploaded by jreynoldsart321.wordpress.com.
For unknown reasons, some years just happened to feature more great movies than others. From time to time, we'll feature the films of a particularly outstanding year as a Great American Thing. We're starting with 1939, which some consider the best year ever in movies. Once you look at the films released that year, you may find yourself in agreement. Some of the best, in alphabetical order:
Uploaded by wikimedia.org
Beau Geste – Gary Cooper in the French Foreign Legion. With Ray Milland, Robert Preston, and Susan Hayward.
Destry Rides Again – A Western, directed by George Marshall and starring Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich.
Gone With the Wind – Winner of the Academy Award, from amongst all these films, for Best Picture. See Great American Things, April 28, 2009.

Goodbye, Mr. Chips – A British film, directed by Sam Wood and starring Greer Garson and Robert Donat as Mr. Chips.
Gunga Din – Cary Grant fighting for the Empire in Colonial British India. With Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Joan Fontaine, and Sam Jaffee as the title character.
Hound of the Baskervilles – One of two films in 1939 (The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes was the other) pairing Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson.

Hunchback of Notre Dame – The best of many versions of this story. With Charles Laughton as Quasimodo and Maureen O'Hara as Esmerelda.
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington – One of Frank Capra's common man rises to heroic status films, starring Jimmy Stewart and Jean Arthur. Nominated for eleven Academy Awards.
Ninotchka – Greta Garbo laughs! A great comedy, co-written by a young Billy Wilder and directed by Ernest Lubitsch.
Uploaded by s3.amazonaws.com.
Of Mice and Men – The Steinbeck classic brought to life by William Wyler. Aaron Copland composed the score. Nominated for four Academy Awards.
Stagecoach – Another John Ford western, featuring Claire Trevor and starring John Wayne in his breakout role.
Wizard of Oz – Judy Garland takes us down the yellow brick road, and ultimately somewhere over the rainbow. Only a modest hit upon its release, you can understand why when you see its competition here. Won three Academy Awards.
Wuthering Heights – Laurence Olivier and Merle Oberon in the Emily Bronte classic. Earned eight Academy Award nominations.
Young Mr. Lincoln – Directed by John Ford, starring Henry Fonda as Abraham Lincoln.

TV Network: Turner Classic Movies
Posted on January 9, 2010 by Robin Chalkley | Leave a comment
Having theme months is one of the excellent programming decisions that help make TCM such a pleasure to watch for movie fans. Uploaded by saint.org.
This is only the second television network to be selected for this list, after ESPN (Great American Things, September 9, 2009). But it's one of the most valuable on the dial, because it allows us to see great classic movies, uninterrupted by commercials.
TCM came on the air in 1994, and its first film was Gone with the Wind (Great American Things, April 28, 2009). There are lots of things to like about the channel. For one thing, it seems to be run by people who really like movies. There's an intelligence to the programming that isn't evident at other networks.

Another thing to appreciate about TCM is how it dedicates days to the career of a single actor. For example, Jimmy Stewart (Great American Things, April 8, 2009) was featured recently, with back-to-back showings of six of his films. It gives you the opportunity to see an actor's career development, and to catch films you may have never seen. Another highlight is its annual 31 Days of Oscar programming during the month of February. Not just Best Picture winners, but films that won in other categories get the spotlight for a whole month.
There was a time when I didn't care about older movies, somehow deeming them irrelevant to today's experience. I know, I know. Now I'm a big fan of old movies, when actors and directors made movies work, not computer effects. And I love Turner Classic Movies.

Actor: Clark Gable
Yep, regardless of all the other movies he made, he'll always be Rhett Butler to us. Uploaded by assets.nydailynews.com.
Admit it. When you hear "Clark Gable," you think "Rhett Butler." Gable was an excellent actor who appeared in many movies and won lots of acclaim, but he'll always be Rhett Butler to us.
Most actors have a career role, but seldom has there been a man so prominent in a movie as successful as Gone With the Wind. Gable had already won the Oscar for Best Actor in It Happened One Night (1934), in which he and Claudette Colbert made a delightful team. And he received another Best Actor nomination for Mutiny on the Bounty (1935). So he already was one of Hollywood's biggest stars when GWTW came along. But as great as those performances were, Clark Gable is Rhett Butler.
Uploaded by z.hubpages.com.
Gable's career actually began in silent movies and lasted until 1961's The Misfits, in which he co-starred with Marilyn Monroe in her final film. He worked opposite Joan Crawford eight times, Myrna Loy seven times, and Jean Harlow six times. But it's that one movie opposite Vivien Leigh that has stayed with us.
He appeared in 81 movies in all, and you really can't say he had a huge hit after 1939. Maybe he just became a bad judge of scripts. Maybe he just had bad luck. Or maybe it's that even Hollywood producers always saw him as…you know.
Doris Day summed up Clark Gable this way: "He was as masculine as any man I've ever known, and as much a little boy as a grown man could be – it was this combination that had such a devastating effect on women."

Actor: Carol Burnett

How's this for a Saturday night TV lineup? On CBS in 1973 you'd see: All in the Family, M*A*S*H, Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, and Carol Burnett. That roster deserves its own wing at the Museum of Broadcasting. The first two were controversial, the next two were heartwarming, and Carol Burnett was just flat-out funny.
Her show ran for 11 seasons, from 1967-1978. It was a variety show with musical guests, but that element of the show is virtually forgotten. What we remember is the comedy from Carol's wonderfully talented ensemble cast: Harvey Korman, Tim Conway, Vicki Lawrence, and Lyle Waggoner. Carol and Tim were hilarious in the continuing "Mrs. Wiggins" sketches, Carol and Vicki shone in "The Family" skits (later spun off as Mama's Family).
Tim Conway would improvise, and because the show was taped before a live audience, the cast would have to adapt. The result was often chaos, with Korman and Conway breaking up on the air. The most memorable sketch, indeed one of the most remarkable in television history, was the send-up of Gone With the Wind called "Went With the Wind."
Part 2 is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nt0yi4wbro
Carol had done TV before getting her own show, of course, and she did more TV and films after. But we'll always remember her for the amazing talent she assembled (on both sides of the camera), and for being wise enough to give them the freedom that ended up making her look good.
The show won 22 Emmy Awards during its run. Best I can tell, it's not on anywhere now in syndication. When you look at the morass of television today, isn't there anyplace on 150 channels to replay one of the funniest shows of all time?

Lead poisoning has been a topic making headlines lately, with the discovery of widespread lead contamination of the water supply in Flint, Michigan. The problem in Flint has started a national conversation about the need to strengthen and enforce laws that protect citizens from lead poisoning in their homes – something Maryland is already doing.
In January 2015, Maryland's stricter lead-based paint law for rental properties became effective, and state regulators swiftly reminded landlords of their duty to comply. Seven months after the law took effect, the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) issued notices to 87,000 property owners who hadn't registered their properties, as required by law. While officials were lenient and gave landlords the opportunity to comply, property owners who ignore notices may be headed for legal trouble.
Before January 2015, only landlords with properties built before 1950 had to register those homes with the MDE. But under the new landlord law, rental property owners must now register their homes built before 1978.
Not all homes built before 1978 contain lead paint, and if a landlord can provide a certificate that shows the home is lead-free, the property is exempt from annual registration requirements. Homes are also exempt if they're not being rented. Otherwise, landlords must renew their lead registration each year, at a cost of $30 per unit (additional fees may be required in Baltimore City and in some counties).
Lead free certification – An accredited Lead Paint Inspection Contractor conducts the inspection for this certificate. If the property has no internal lead paint but some external lead paint, it may qualify for a Limited Lead Free certificate, which expires after two years, at which time the home must be re-inspected.
Full risk reduction – In a vacant home where lead paint is present, an accredited contractor must perform a dust inspection before a tenant moves in, sending dust samples to a lab for analysis. The landlord may be required to mitigate lead paint hazards, based on the results of lab tests.
Modified risk reduction – This type of certification generally occurs when a unit is already occupied and a tenant notices peeling or chipped paint, or a child or pregnant woman has a blood-lead level of 10 micrograms per deciliter, or higher. If lead paint mitigation is necessary and tenants must vacate the property for more than 24 hours, a landlord must pay for tenants' accommodations and meals during the time they're displaced.
Landlords should also be aware that the law requires them to have a new lead inspection certificate at each change of occupancy – even if a tenant moves out after a few months, an updated certificate is required.
In the past 20 years, the MDE has received reports of lead poisoning in more than 93,000 children. Those children may suffer from learning disabilities, developmental delays, hearing loss, and other problems that affect their quality of life. Maryland's newly strengthened requirements for landlords may ensure that future generations don't suffer from the long-term effects of lead poisoning.

ForeignServiceExam.org Primer: How to Pick your Career Path (Part 2)
I've promised to produce a primer for applicants taking the FSOT in Jan-Feb 2017. One of the first steps you take is to choose your career track, also known as your cone. It's a big choice as it will be how you are judged, how you are promoted, and how you spend your 20+ years in the Foreign Service. Perhaps, most importantly, once you select your career track, there's no changing. (well, okay, not quite, but it is pretty important).
When the Written Exam Was Actually Written
In 1985, circa the Dark Ages, when I took the "written" FSOT, it really was a written exam with answer sheets, N0. 2 pencils, and stern admonitions not to mark outside the ovals. My score was rated across the four cones — Political, Economic, Consular, Administrative (now Management) — and as I recall you could pick any cone to secure a place on one of the career track registers. Most but not all applicants selected the cone in which they scored highest. (Until 1999, PD officers worked for the U.S. Information Service, a separate agency.)
I selected Consular, which was my highest score, and after more than two years I got an offer. Yes, the process was ridiculously long back in the old days. It has speeded up considerably.
Today, the five career tracks open to Foreign Service Officers (FSO) are:
Political (the one nearly everyone aspired to join back in my day. It's probably still the case.)
State insists that you pick your career track before you take the Foreign Service Exam. Many (most?) applicants have no idea what an FSO does much less in his or her career track. We may not like it, but we have to accept it. "Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die" and all that.
For all the Department's shortsightedness on coning and other issues, they do provide you with a huge amount of online material to help you make the career track decision — quizzes, video interviews, descriptions of the various cones, and even an infographic detailing what officers do in their tracks
I encourage you to read everything on the Careers.State.Gov site. You will find additional insight through online discussions, especially at the Yahoo Group – Becoming a Foreign Service Officer. This is an excellent resource and can help you in deciding your career track and other questions as you continue through the selection process. Or it could make your head explode because there is just so much information and not all of it correct.
After you've reviewed this information, and you still have doubts or questions about your cone, take the Department's quiz, Which Career Track is Right for You? , to help you winnow down your choices.
Diplomat-in-Residence: A Great Resource
When you complete the quiz and have an idea of the track you lack it's time to reach out to real FSOs and ask them questions. They are the Diplomats-in-Residence, 16 or so FSOs and Specialists the Department has assigned around the country to answer questions and to drum up interest in the Foreign Service as a career.
They provide an excellent way to nail down your career track. As you might guess, the quality of these sources varies, but I've known many of top-flight FSOs who have served as Diplomats-in-Residence. Although the Department may frown on my advice, I do recommend that you reach out not just to the DIR in your region, but any other who by cone, sex, or minority status may help you not only with your choice of career tracks, but also whether the Foreign Service would be a good fit for you.
DIRs are located at universities and colleges throughout the United States, but every candidate can and should make use of them.
Can I Change My Career Track When (or After) I Join?
No! Err, maybe…
If you show up at A-100 demanding a change in cone, the answer from the State Department will be "no." The Department tries to cushion the blow by saying that FSOs throughout their careers serve in out-of-cone assignments throughout their careers and the higher you the less your career track matters. For instance, I was a consular track officer, but in my final 12 years in the Foreign Service, I was in multifunctional (sic) jobs — twice as a DCM and twice as a Deputy Assistant Secretary (DAS).
The Department doesn't want you to get your hopes up, but in truth a few mid-level FSOs do change career tracks. Openings in the tracks do open up, but if you think you can join the Political track, you're dreaming.
Seriously, there are lateral transfers between Consular and Management, and even some Political and Economic FSOs who grow tired of working the cocktail/reception circuit and decide to join the Consular and Management tracks, which have a more "9-5" schedule.
So, no, if you are a Management or Consular or PD Officer, you will not find a way to join the Political ranks because there are no/no vacancies at mid-level. Similarly, the Economic track only rarely seeks mid-level FSOs, and you be so far behind in competing with your new peers for promotion, it's probably not a wise career move. I don't have a lot of information on the Public Diplomacy career track, but it is very attractive at the junior and mid-level ranks because the cone features work as an Information Officer (spokesperson), Cultural Affairs Officer (exchanges, cultural activities, spending money to preserve important historical sites) or the Public Affairs Officer, the big kahuna who manages the mission's entire Public Diplomacy program. I don't see many PD Officers leaving their career track.

Ukrainan dating agency
In 2013, after the government of President Yanukovych had decided to suspend the Ukraine-European Union Association Agreement and seek closer economic ties with Russia, a several-months-long wave of demonstrations and protests known as the Euromaidan began, which later escalated into the 2014 Ukrainian revolution that led to the overthrow of President Yanukovych and his cabinet and the establishment of a new government.These events formed the background for the annexation of Crimea by Russia in March 2014, and the War in Donbass in April 2014.
Ukrainian is the official language and its alphabet is Cyrillic.
Before its independence, Ukraine was typically referred to in English as "The Ukraine", but sources since then have moved to drop "the" from the name of Ukraine in all uses.
Nonetheless it formed a limited military partnership with the Russian Federation and other CIS countries and a partnership with NATO in 1994.
The first of these periods occurred briefly during and immediately after the German occupation near the end of World War I and the second occurred, also briefly, and also during German occupation, during World War II.
However, both of these first two earlier periods would eventually see Ukraine's territories consolidated back into a Soviet republic within the USSR.The Goths stayed in the area but came under the sway of the Huns from the 370s AD.

Anna Petra Cecilia Östergren, född 29 september 1965 i Kiruna, är en svensk författare och anknuten till sociologiska institutionen, samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten vid Lunds universitet. Hon var tidigare instruktör i självförsvar för kvinnor.

Självförsvar
I slutet av 1980-talet gjorde sig Östergren känd för att på bred front lansera feministiskt självförsvar i Sverige. Hon var instruktör och utbildade nya instruktörer, bland annat Amanda Golert som nu driver Kidpower. Tillsammans drev de kung fu-klubb inom stilen kajukenbo, med Stacy Jolles från USA som huvudinstruktör. Vidare skrev Östergren en handbok i självförsvar, Slå tillbaka! som utgavs 1993. Tre år senare, 1996, publicerades boken Att komma till ro med det allra värsta, vilken handlar om hennes mor som blev ihjälslagen av en man efter ett kortare förhållande.

Därefter skiftade Östergrens fokus, och utifrån en kritik av radikalfeminism började hon granska den svenska diskursen om mäns våld mot kvinnor och kommersiellt sex. Från att ha samarbetat med ROKS, Kvinnofronten och Folkaktionen mot Pornografi skedde en brytning 1996, som enligt Östergren själv bottnande i en ideologisk konflikt. Östergren har rötter inom den frihetliga vänstern och det anarkistiska kaféet Svarta Månen på Södermalm i Stockholm, och menar att  de radikalfeministiska organisationernas medlemmar har en mer marxistisk bakgrund. I artikeln "Sant fria?" i Bang nr 2 1996 ifrågasatte hon de inom feminismen vanliga teorierna om kön, våld och makt. Detta sprang bland annat ur iakttagelsen att våld inom homosexuella parförhållanden följer samma mönster som våld inom heterosexuella relationer, och att hon som självförsvarsinstruktör även mött kvinnor som utsatts för sexuella övergrepp av andra kvinnor.

Utbildning och forskning
Östergren började läsa socialantropologi 1987 och tog en kandidatexamen 2000 vid Stockholms universitet. Hon lade fram sin magisteruppsats i socialantropologi 2003, Synden ideologiserad. Modern svensk prostitutionspolicy som identitets- och trygghetsskapare. Temat var paradoxer i den svenska prostitutionsdiskursen.

Hösten 2008 påbörjade Östergren sin forskarutbildning i socialantropologi vid Lunds universitet. Hennes avhandling är en etnografi över det svenska sexköpsförbudet där hon försöker förstå dess underliggande morallogik.

Förutom arbetet med avhandlingen har Östergren mellan 2014 och 2017 varit projektledare för den svenska forskningsdelen i EU-projektet DemandAT som undersöker efterfrågesideåtgärder mot människohandel. Forskningen resulterade bland annat i förslag att använda ett tredelat klassifikationssystem för att dela in prostitutionspolicyer (repressivt, restriktivt och interaktivt), ett system som även kan appliceras på andra klassiska moralpolitiska frågor som droger, spel eller homosexualitet. Vidare publicerades ett så kallat "EU policy brief", som innehåller rekommendationer för att minska våld och exploatering inom sexbranschen.

Krönikor och debatt
Östergren engagerade sig tidigt i transfrågor, detta efter att ha tillbringat tid i San Francisco, Sydney och Rom och haft partners som var butch eller FTM. Inför RFSU:s kongress 1997 skrev hon en motion där hon argumenterade att transpersoner och deras partners åter skulle inkluderas i förbundet, vilket bifölls. När hon fick i uppdrag att utveckla ett program för Europride 1998 som innehöll samhällsfrågor (vilket senare blev Pridehouse) ägnades en av dagarna åt trans- och intersexfrågor. Hon skrev artiklar på temat och tog upp ämnet i tv. Hon försvarade också butch/femme-relationer i föreläsningar och artiklar.

Hösten 2008 publicerades antologin F-ordet. Mot en ny feminism, med Östergren som redaktör. Boken samlar skribenter och debattörer för att ge nya perspektiv på gängse feministiska frågor.

Östergren har publicerat artiklar och krönikor i tidningar som Expressen, Aftonbladet, Svenska Dagbladet, LO-tidningen, Axess Magasin och Voltaire.

Utifrån sin forskning, samt ställningstagande för prostituerades rättigheter, har Östergren argumenterat mot den nuvarande svenska sexköpslagen och förespråkat att sexbranschen ska avkriminaliseras och ersättas med arbetslagstiftning liknande den integrativa policyregim som bland annat finns i Nya Zeeland. I boken Porr, horor och feminister från 2006 analyserar hon tre decenniers porr- och prostitutionsmotstånd i Sverige med hjälp av socialantropologiska teorier utvecklade av Gayle Rubin och Carol Vance, samt maktperspektiv av Michele Foucault och Pierre Bourdieu.

I Sverige har Östergrens arbete väckt starka reaktioner, särskilt hennes forskning och ställningstaganden kring radikalfeminism och sexarbete.

Skönlitteratur
2010 publicerade Östergren första delen av en tänkt trilogi, Berättelsen om Esmara.

He continues by cutting the power to the coffee machine, changing the settings on her phone, disabling the Wi-Fi and even tightening the lid on every jar in the fridge.
At the end he says he just has to sit back and wait as she'll soon have a reason to speak to him, and some were impressed with his "genius" idea to win her forgiveness.
But others warned he was simply digging himself into a bigger hole.

Electronic poker is a blending of slots and Poker. Even though the game relies on the assistance of computers, it keeps true to poker. The game is a man versus machine battle. Here, the poker player is playing against the computer in place of opposing players. In any case, the final goal remains the same.
An uncomplicated and adorable game, electronic poker is extremely liked among people of every age. The amount of video poker games in casinos has gotten bigger at a fast rate. The number of game choices also has grown substantially. Some casinos even have different electronic poker games on a single machine. These machines can host more than 5 players at the same time. The terrific growth of net electronic poker games gives the player limitless choices. In fact, several players prefer betting against machines rather than with an unpredictable person. The tremendous upsurge of video poker varieties can be tied to these elements.
In comparison to slot machines, electronic poker is a bit different. The player is required to hit the big hands to cash out as a champ. Ninety-five to 100% of the money bet is given back to the bettor in most of the electronic poker games. However, there is a 5% likelihood of not winning the money, which can be catastrophic in numerous cases. This is due to the fact that individuals are do not usually gamble on just one hand.
A player cannot expect all his winning opportunities to be changed into cash. Apart from a good understanding of the game, one has to develop his/her own way to succeed. Although it does not take long to pickup the game, selection of the proper machine is incredibly critical.

Welcome to First Day Friday! For anyone new to this feature, I've posted submission guidelines and an index of previous authors.
Anyway, please welcome Stephen Leigh. When you're done reading, check him out on LiveJournal or Facebook.
Let's get rid of the obvious right away. I'm not anywhere close to being one of the New Hot Kids. I had my first professional sale back in the antediluvian days of the mid-1970s, and sold my first novel in 1980. This is a story not of How Things Are Done Now, but How Things Were Done Then.
That was decent enough advice at the time (though in my opinion some of it no longer holds true in today's market); I followed it. I collected the requisite ton of rejection slips as I honed my skills—because most of my stories were spectacularly bad—but a few were accidentally good enough that I also managed to sell a story here and there. I also realized that my stories (most of which were not selling, remember( were gradually becoming more complex, and as a result, longer.
Around 1976 or so, I read an article about the Hashshashin, an early band of assassins, which started me thinking about the concept of "ethical assassins"—murderers who would attempt an assassination, but would always for philosophical reasons allow the victim a small chance of survival. I started putting together a world with these 'ethical assassins,' which I was calling the "Hoorka." I suddenly realized, as I starting planning and writing this tale, that this wasn't going to be a short story or novelette, but a full-fledged novel.
Characters and sub-plots and complications. Oh, my!
I continued to write and occasionally sell short stories for the next few years, but I was realizing that if I ever wanted to have any shot at actually making writing a substantial part of my income, I had to overcome my trepidations and write novels. Why not start with the novel I'd already begun planning? I'd been smart enough—which is honestly a rarity—not to actually trash the notes I'd made. I began to reconstruct the novel, gluing back onto the skeleton of "In Darkness Waiting" all the material and ideas I'd trimmed away, rewriting the story from the beginning.
Early in 1980 I had a pile of paper that resembled a novel, which I titled SLOW FALL TO DAWN. I also had no idea how to market the thing to agents. Here's where networking (of the pre-Facebook and LiveJournal variety, using letters and phone calls) came in.
Denise and I had begun attending the regional sf cons as well as the occasional worldcon or big east coast gathering. I'd met quite a few writers—most of them further along in their career than me—and become good friends with some. I contacted a select few, asking if they knew of an agent they'd recommend I contact. George RR Martin suggested a relatively new agent he'd met, Adele Leone, and was kind enough to say he'd send Adele a personal recommendation.
Just as good networking can lead to a "real" job, good networking can also lead to work in your writing career. People do tend to help other people whom they know and like.
I will point out before someone brings out the old cliché that "You see! It's all just about who you know" that networking only works to a point. Getting an introduction to someone via a friend might crack open a door you thought locked, but your fiction still has to do the heavy lifting—and that's far more important. You can sell a novel without networking if it's well-written and compelling; you can't sell a poorly-written novel no matter how fantastic a network you have.
Fast-forward a few months… Adele, after reading the novel, had agreed to represent me. At the time, I was running a bi-weekly RPG game—mostly AD&D but with lots of rule changes we'd made on our own. During the middle of one of our games late in 1980, the phone rang and Denise answered. She passed the phone over to me. "It's Adele," she said. She gave me an eyebrow-raised look as I took the phone.
"I have good news," the voice on the other end said. "Bantam's made an offer on your book…" I don't remember much of the rest of the night, except that I recall it involved more beer than usual and that I happily allowed the characters in the RPG to get away with far too much mayhem and treasure. Everyone went up a level or two.
SLOW FALL TO DAWN [Amazon | B&N] was published by Bantam Books in October 1981.
That's a long time ago, as impossible as that seems to me sometimes. Adele, sadly, is no longer with us. After three books with Bantam, I went on to other publishers with other books. I would start writing fantasy rather than science fiction (and acquire a pseudonym along with that genre). The field—and publishing in general—changed rather radically in the intervening decades. Hey, that first contract didn't even mention electronic rights. The $3,500 advance I got for SFTD is roughly the equivalent of an $9,500 advance now… but the average first-novel advance offered now by the 'traditional publishers' is far less than $9,500. Agents now take 15% of a writer's income, not 10%. We won't even talk about ebooks and their impact.
It's a brave new world out there now. It's not the same one that I started out in, and I'm not certain that the path I took is still a viable one.
Interesting, and a book that might be interesting to pick up. Assuming I haven't read it yet. Jim, what do you suppose Stephen means about "how to snag an agent" changing? As the father to a budding author my advice to her has been exactly that- write lots, submit lots, rewrite lots and don't mind the rejection slips. What's changed about that path?
Russ — I'll let Jim give his own answer, but here's mine. "Write lots, sumbit lots, rewrite lots and don't mind the rejection slips" still isn't bad advice (well, I wouldn't ignore the rejection slips; they can actually tell you quite a lot about what's going on: for instance, if they're all form rejections slips, you're not getting past the first reader for some reason, which indicates there's still a lot of craft-level work that still needs to be done; if they have an actual editorial comment on the submission, then you *really* need to pay attention to that…).
But publishing *is* changing. I know some fairly well-published writers who aren't using an agent at this point, or who engage with agents in different ways than were standard ten years ago (in fact, I'm one of 'em at the moment). Many of the 'new' writers didn't follow the "write lots of short fiction before you write novels" path, but have jumped right into novels. There is the whole ebook path, which is still being blazed and explored as we speak. Contracts with publishers and agents need to be reviewed very carefully now — they did before, too, but some of the contract clauses I've heard of recently are atrocious. For that matter, the idea of even *having* a contract with an agent beyond a handshake is fairly new — with both of the agents I had, I never had a written contract.
THe publishing world of 2011 doesn't look at all like the publishing world of 1981 or 1991 or even 2001. I think the publishing world of 2021 is going to be very different yet. Doesn't mean that the "old advice" is bad, but that you have to look at it in the context of the current reality and make your best judgment.
Russ – I think the core path that you describe — write, rewrite, submit, and repeat — still holds true. But the way people break in has changed. For example, when I did my First Novel Survey last year, we found that more and more people were selling their books by submitting to agents instead of directly to the publishers.
But the biggest thing is to write, so I think you're on target there. Beyond that, just make sure she's doing the research on the business side so she knows where to submit and how to do so, keeping in mind that like Steve says, advice from 20-30 years ago may not hold today.

Domain Hunter Gatherer also makes expired domain detection less painful. As I've mentioned above, finding drop domains on your own can be like taking shots in the dark, or trying to find a needle in a haystack. You're more than welcome to try it, but I'm telling you, it's not going to be a pleasant experience. With Domain Hunter Gatherer, you have many different options on how to search for drop domains. You can enter a search term and it will spit out sites that you can then crawl for dead links. You can then filter these dead links to see if they can be registered. You can also enter a site URL of a competitor and get dead links that way. You can even import web pages from Wikipedia or other websites to scan for dead links.
The easiest way to see that is to go to HREFs and look at the anchor text. It reveals right away whether or not the site has been spammed. You also want to see if it's been SEO'd too much. Right? In this case, it's not because it has a brand name here and some natural keywords, but if the number one anchor text was like, cell phone management system and then the next one was like cheap cell phone management system, you'd know that the anchor text was manipulated and probably overly SEO'd. So, what you want as a site that has a natural link profile.
They are easy to type and remember: You can't get a easy to remember new domain name without paying huge bucks these days. Gone are the days where you can simply grab almost any incredible domain name just by paying a couple of bucks. This is one of the major reasons most people look for expired domains because most expired domains are short and sweet.
While traffic, as an abstract, is fairly easy to understand and get, getting it on a consistent basis is another matter entirely. That's why a lot of affiliate marketers who are serious about generating online traffic are quickly paying attention to drop domains. Drop domains is not a new phenomenon. People have been registering drop domains for many years now to scoop up traffic that those domains still attract. However, as Google continues to crack down, and as more social media platforms impose anti marketing rules, or rules that have an anti marketing effect, drop domains have become more prominent in the online marketing landscape. If you would like to tap into a fairly easy and potentially powerful source of online traffic, consider drop domains.
While getting a new domain name will give your site a clean slate and allow you to start a fresh marketing campaign, you may not be aware of the fact that some expired domains come with a high Page Rank value. A company that buys such a domain will not have to work so hard on website promotion and backlink building techniques. Thanks for updating this really informative post!
1) pending delete auctions. These are domains that were not renewed and are going through a pretty complicated drop process. You can backorder these names at the auction venues and then each attempts to "catch" the dropping domain. If one is successful you win the domain at $59 if you're the only one to backorder the name. If more than one person backordered the domain a 3 day private auction is held. Once the domain goes through the drop process, the back links have pretty much zero SEO benifit to the new domain owner.
Premium Domain names are domains that are already registered, but are available for sale at a higher price. Sometimes it will be an individual selling the domain, or it could be the domain registry (Like Donuts Inc. or Radix) selling their top quality inventory at a higher price point. These domains can be priced anywhere from a couple extra bucks to millions, depending on the domain name, the level of interest, or the amount of traffic it organically receives.
Page authority ranking criteria are similar to domain authority. It's ranked on a scale of 1 to 100. Page Authority measures the predictive ranking of a web page. The page authority of a website can change depending on various metrics. Search engines examine the relevance and authority of a page based on its contents and external links. If a webpage has links to higher authority sites and has keywords in it, its authority ranking will increase.
If you bought the domain name, the typical procedure is to unlock the domain name, then either push it to your account at the same registrar (such as https://www.domainsherpa.com/how-to-push-a-domain-name-at-godaddy-com/) or send you the authorization code so you can transfer the domain name to a different registrar (https://www.domainsherpa.com/how-to-transfer-a-domain-name-to-another-registrar/).
Also note the Expired Domain Plugin is a lifetime "per user" license, so if you have multiple ScrapeBox licenses registered to the one email address purchasing the Expired Domain once will activate the plugin for all your ScrapeBox licenses with the same email for life. The plugin is a one-time payment and is not a monthly or yearly subscription, all updates are free.

The roads of New Jersey are congested and dangerous. Drivers in vehicles of all shapes and sizes are aggressively driving to and from locations on tight schedules that motivate them to speed and drive recklessly. A motor vehicle accident can be dangerous enough when cars of the same size collide. When a truck is involved, the chances of major damage and severe personal injury increase dramatically. Unfortunately, some truck drivers act as though they own the roads. They have a responsibility to drive safely at all times with a truck in good working order, ensuring that cargo is properly loaded. The federal government and state legislatures have drafted laws to govern how trucks should operate on the roads.
When you are faced with the facts of a truck accident case, there is a lot to consider. You need effective representation that can explore the causes of the accident and hold the responsible parties accountable, whether that is the driver, their employer, or perhaps a municipality or a manufacturer.
What Factors Can Cause A Truck Accident?
Truck drivers have a difficult job that involves long hours and tight schedules. When pressure from an employer gets to be too much, the driver is tempted to speed and take less care. This can lead to a dangerous condition for other drivers on the road. Trucks are often loaded or overloaded with cargo. Trucks are also susceptible to mechanical problems or improper maintenance. When a truck has problems on the road with a full load, the combination can be dangerous, putting everyone at risk. When thousands of pounds of truck collide with a car, the damage and injuries can be some of the worst imaginable.
At Cohn Lifland, our attorneys are dedicated to seeking justice for clients who have been involved in a truck accident. If the accident wasn't your fault, you may be eligible to recover damages related to the crash.

Commons: 8 October 2007
Oral Answers to Questions
House of Commons Commission
Volume 464: debated on Monday 8 October 2007
Mr. John Spellar
(Warley) (Lab)
23. How much bottled water was (a) sold and (b) provided within the House in the most recent year for which figures are available. (156077)
Nick Harvey
(North Devon) (LD)
A total of 105,957 litres of bottled water was sold by the House of Commons Refreshment Department in 2006-07. In the same year, 16,200 litres of bottled water were supplied to the Department of the Serjeant at Arms for use in Committee Rooms, and 34,000 litres of bottled water were provided mainly in water coolers to staff of the House.
Mr. Spellar
I thank the hon. Gentleman for that answer, but is it not time, when we are looking at environmental change and the enormous environmental costs of bottled water, that the House of Commons stopped preaching to the rest of the country and started to reduce its use of bottled water, to use tap water and to stop all the waste of the empty bottles, too?
I have a lot of sympathy with what the right hon. Gentleman says. Of course, in the restaurants and bars of the House, this is a matter of choice for the individual consumer. Tap water is available free of charge in all Refreshment Department outlets. In March, the Administration Committee studied the issue of Committees using water and concluded that logistical constraints, health and safety issues and staffing costs meant that there was quite a complex issue to be considered. If he wishes to look at that report and to make further suggestions, I assure him that it need not necessarily be viewed as the last word on the matter.
Peter Bottomley
(Worthing, West) (Con)
Would it not be a good idea, if we have to have bottles, to have them refilled from the tap in the House rather than their being carried from one part of the country to another?
As I say, I have a lot of sympathy with that proposition. That was exactly what the Administration Committee looked at. If the hon. Gentleman wishes to make further proposals to the Committee, I am sure that it will be pleased to listen to them.


Two months ago I announced a contest to predict "the date when the first working Kindle ripping app capable of generating a PDF, text, or HTML file from a Kindle file is publicly released".
We've got a winner, commenter "Ben", who predicted 31 December 2009, midway between the dates of release of two contenders for the title of first Kindle ripping app: unswindle was released on 17 December 2009 (and reported in The Register on 23 December 2009), and Kindle PC Converter for Windows was announced in a comment to my original blog post on 16 January 2010.
"unswindle" actually decrypts the Kindle file, making it vulnerable to any changes in the Kindle encryption system. And few naive users will use a set of python scripts if they aren't distributed with a one-click installer or clear step-by-step cookbook instructions. But it's free, and at least for now, it apparently works.
The commercial "Kindle PC Converter" is, to me, more significant if less of a technical accomplishment. It's a Windows app with a one-click installer and a GUI that anyone can use. And it doesn't even try to decrypt the Kindle file: it lets the Kindle for PC app decrypt the file and display it on screen, and captures the pages as displayed on the screen. Amazon could change the Kindle GUI to force the developers of the Kindle PC Converter to change their image capture system, but that's easy compared to cracking a new or modified encryption scheme. There's no way to build an app that will display anything on screen without exposing that display to capture into an image file or PDF.
The developers of the Kindle PC Converter have released a Google Books Download app for Windows that applies the same approach to Google Books: it "reads" the book on Google's Web site in a browser, and captures it to a PDF.
Either the Google Books or Kindle ripping apps will be useful for those who want to read these books offline and on Linux, Symbian, or other devices.
If the proposed Google Books settlement is approved, they will also come in handy not just for those who want to "share" their Google Books purchases with friends or over file-sharing networks, but for would-be readers of Google Books in other countries. And it exposes the complete bankruptcy of the claim (and the technical ignorance of those who adhere to it), reiterated by Paul Aiken of the Authors Guild during the panel I was part of in New York on Wednesday, that Google Books downloads will only be available to authorized purchasers in the USA.
Am I the only one who finds irony in the app's name.. unswindle?
I suppose it depends on which side you're on to decide who's getting swindled.

- Automatic mode for download public domain books and pdf document.
- It is a web browser, easy to use.

Supplying catering outlets with local sourced food year round.
Peterborough's aspiration to become UK's Environment Capital: Food security is a key challenge for all UK cities as our population grows, but there is an increasing awareness that we must start producing food sustainably.
Peterborough is surrounded by some of the UK's most productive arable land. Traditionally residents were able to source food from local farmers. Nowadays direct links between producers and end users are very poor. The food ends up being transported for miles to be processed and packed before it's sold.
After completing market research in Peterborough, Local Roots found that even though prices are buoyant for quality local products, there is still the demand in being able to procure locally rather than finding a cheaper deal from their current suppliers.
Urban growing schemes have been evolving in recent years to harness new technologies and respond to local food challenge. Local Roots is the first company in Peterborough to tackle this problem by supplying catering outlets with food grown with minimum food miles.
2) To provide a scalable turnkey system that: Uses currently unused urban space for food production — reducing food miles and increasing quality.
Local Roots received £20,000 in the second round of funding to develop their commercial salad-growing business from seasonal production to all year round supply.
There are plans to use the £20,000 to set up the infrastructure to enable all year round, environmentally friendly and sustainable growing in Peterborough.
This will then enable Local Roots to build on their current progress and pilot the proposed franchise package so others can do the same in their own area.


Personal musings on "being" by Mathe Ntšekhe!
I have been in hibernation. Alas, I have not really rested.
A lot has happened and is continuing to happen. It would seem the time to be frank has arrived. There is a need to think and re-think matters if we, Blacks, are still invested in a change that affords us dignity.
This need to (re)think matters has caused me to meditate deeply about Frank Leepa's Sekunjalo.
As some have come to know, I am a serious fan of Frank's work. Frank has entrenched a deep understanding in me that the South African questions are indeed Black/African questions. He gave me a firm understanding of intersectionality–long before I learnt such a term existed.
So, based on the events of this year alone, I am of the opinion that Sekunjalo qualifies as an intersectional #BlackLivesMatters song. It is a protest song, but also a prayer. This comes out very clearly to me when the youth represented in the song declares that his determination to bring about change is, in a sense, a reason for the loved ones to pray.
If we consider how the song begins, these loved ones are the women being left behind; the father, though not explicated, is probably in Marikana.
I know this sounds like a leap. However, if you take Frank as nuanced and intersectional, you know there is a reason the father needs to be informed about the son's departure. In fact, based on his style of writing, one should intuitively get that the reason has been omitted deliberately. My thinking is: to possibly aid the amplification of the single short line of "pray it"!
In my opinion, this line is loaded with meaning. It is a reminder to think about the women and the struggle. A reminder that many are forced to pray, fend for themselves, and hold on to radical hope that the men and children will return home.
Interesting for me is also how the "pray it" line is preceded by humming and the line: "I want to hear you sing". This reminds me of the value of song/singing.
When I attended the Highway Africa conference recently, it dawned on me how much song is not understood in the context of a struggle. This is what happened: the Black Student Movement (BSM) entered the conference singing; there was a slight mild panic; and it occurred to me that in the imagination of some, protest singing is strongly linked to violence (despite the body language of those singing speaking a contrary truth).
This troubled me. I couldn't really explain to myself, why? My Senkujalo meditations have shed some light. Singing and spirituality are linked in my mind, even in a protest context. For me, singing is a deep spiritual act for expressing unison—or solidarity if you wish. Above and beyond solidarity, I also believe singing serves to soothe; and for this reason, I find it hard to understand the possible associations with violence. I mean…if I am making efforts to soothe my pain, do I really hold the intent to be violent?
This is a very pertinent question for me. It makes me wonder how much we understand Black pain.
Batho bana ba re tlolisa khati!
And, without bothering with the actual translation of the conveniently bolded line, it gets idiomatically understood that it will take a stick to deal with the anti-transformational human beings. For, the carrot has clearly failed.
From the youths vantage point, with this failure, the only prayer left is for the elders to prepare, if needs be,"to put out the fire". For, "with defensive guts [and] determination", they shall forge ahead to bring change and reclaim the throne for Black people. Senkujalo, beloved elders…sekunjalo!

Not need to be afraid. Batho bana ba re tlolisa khati. A deep song that anyone can take and internalise it for his/her own life's struggles. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Sweden-based retailer H&M removed from Apple Maps in China amid human rights abuse allegations against the government
Parker Ortolani
- Mar. 26th 2021 11:08 am PT
This afternoon, The Wall Street Journal reported that western retailer H&M has disappeared from Apple Maps and other popular online services in China. The company's locations have been removed from search in mapping apps like Apple Maps and Baidu Maps, as well as ride-hailing apps like Didi. H&M announced that it will no longer be sourcing cotton for its products from Xinjiang, one of the locations in China facing serious allegations of forced labor.
H&M is just the latest of many major American and European companies that have announced their serious concerns about the use of cotton from China's Xinjiang region. This has caused boycotts by Chinese consumers. CNN notes that other major brands like Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Burberry, Puma, Converse, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Uniqlo are also facing boycotts over their publicly stated concerns.
The Verge reported that China's Communist Party has used state-run media to convince the public to boycott these major western brands. The Chinese government is facing sanctions from the United States over human rights violations against the Uighur people. The Chinese government has interned more than a million Uighurs in re-education and forced labor camps. They've been abused by the government because of their Islamic faith.
Tim Cook greeting the President of China, Xi Jinping (Reuters)
The Wall Street Journal notes that if you try and search for an H&M store using the Maps app on your Apple device, it won't return any results. They also noted that H&M products were removed from China's largest online retailer, Alibaba.
This event raises some serious questions over how much direct control the Chinese government has over Apple services within China. Did they request that Apple remove the store listings? Or did they remove them on their own? It's certainly no secret that Apple has to abide by the country's censorship laws and has done so. It seems quite clear that the government is behind the removal of H&M from Apple Maps. Apple tends to cave to the Chinese government's pressure regularly. For example, last year, the company removed tens of thousands of games from the App Store. In 2017, Apple even removed The New York Times app from the App Store in China at the government's request.
9to5Mac's Take
Apple has made it quite clear in the past decade that it has very large ambitions for growth in the country. Tim Cook's Apple has put a major emphasis on appeasing the Chinese government to maintain their status and growth. The company likely wants to avoid any sort of boycott by Chinese consumers or sanctions from the Chinese government. They faced boycotts in 2019 from Chinese consumers amid trade disputes with the Trump administration. CNN reported that Apple saw 57% growth YoY between December 2019 and December 2020. It's a major source of growth for the company that it clearly believes it cannot afford to lose.
But how long will they stay silent about these awful human rights abuses against the Uighur people? If Apple wants to be a beacon of hope and the pre-eminent proponent of human rights in the business world, it needs to speak up, and it needs to speak up soon.

Too pricey for a tricycle that need to assemble without any guide. But Ive managed to do that.
Delivery is fast and well packed. But items inside not in good condition. Item not as per photo, parts were scratched, instruction not clear, parts not enough. The steering cannot be locked. Please change another set that can be assembled or please refund!
Really good buy. Much cheaper when using coupon. Though my granddaughter cannot peddle still (legs still can't reach) but she luv pushing it around. Really beautiful tricycle. The seller was kind enough to let me change the color from green to red. Thank you seller for being so kind to me.
The screw and nut of the back basket does not fit .overall its ok . Have to use own screw and nut .
Received item fast. Instructions in the box skipped steps and no indication which bolts and nuts to use accordingly. Needed hammer to knock in the covers for the front wheel support pole. The tricycle is light; good and bad. Has a rubber smell to it.
Quality so so but acceptable at this price.
No instruction manual. Very difficult to assemble. Took a long time. Colour is different from the picture.
Order on Friday and deliver on Monday! Well done Seller!Yet to open the box, hope will be easy assemble.
If I go to store pick up...can assemble for me the bicycle?
May i check if this suits a 17 month old who just could walk ?
if the kid is sensible to ride already yes can.
Can go to warehouse to see product then buy on spot ?
cash and carry in warehouse. No display set to view for tricycle.
Hi I would like to change my purchase from store pick up to home delivery.pls advice how I should do thx .
may i ask if this tricycle comes with the push handle or can i attach a handle to it?
it does not have handle and can't attach.
Hi, may I know when will stock for pink colour be coming in again? Thanks.
