Pushcart Prize 2017 Nominations
PUSHCART 2013
Pushcart Prize, Writing Contest November 16, 2016
'Breath before brush-V' by Ryan Carey. Image courtesy of the artist
It's that time of year again: time for The Missing Slate to nominate a selection of our favourite pieces (stories, poems and essays) for the Pushcart Prizes. We've previously nominated work from 14 different countries, including translations from 6 languages (Bengali, Arabic, Portuguese, Hungarian, Danish, and Polish). This year, our shortlist was selected by various representatives from our multinational editorial team, who introduce the work they've chosen below:
Nathalie Handal, 'The Record Keeper'
Introduced by Katy Lewis Hood
Handal's poem tells of a man – a record keeper – living amongst the devastations of the war in Afghanistan. A bomb begins the poem, but it is soon accompanied by other, quieter sounds: whispers of history, prayer, speech, song. These sounds echo in the poem's many gaps, long distances, and absences, allowing it to convey a sense of intimacy between land, body, and language, even if all three are close to ruin. Handal's lines are evocative yet measured, inviting close attention and deliberation, wherever that is possible as the terrifying record of war runs on both within and beyond the poem. It is within such brief moments of rumination that the "high window" appears, as a source of light and potential escape, but far from a "perfect exit". In this sense, 'The Record Keeper' leaves us conflicted. But it also asks us to listen, and when we do we find fleeting glimmers of hope. Such a careful negotiation of subjectivity and archive resonates in a world that again and again threatens disconnection.
Andal, 'Take Me to His Sacred Places' (from 'Nacciyar Tirumoli'; translated by Priya Sarukkai Chabria)
Introduced by Pratyusha Prakash
Translating the works of the great alvar Tamil poets into English is no easy task — particularly not the poems of Andal, a 9th-century mystic poet who lived and breathed her love for God. Ably aided and enhanced by Priya Sarukkai Chabria's translations, Andal's poetry flowers. We feel Andal's single-minded focus, her ecstatic rigidity in her love for her god, and we appreciate the changes in her tone. Both Andal and Chabria move effortlessly from devotional and soft ("I'm cut bowstring vibrating/ for his touch") to plaintive, demanding, harsh ("Why/ clothe me in convention? Let rapture recapture me"). Chabria captures this variability exquisitely and infuses it with her own distinctive poetic voice. Her translations play with form, rhythm, rhyme, even italics: she does have parameters here, but the only part of the poem that feels bound by the original Tamil is the spirit of it. She captures Andal's devastating longing perfectly, without shackling it to a direct translation or allowing it to fall into familiar patterns. Chabria's translations surprise us at every line with their unharnessed sensuality — but more importantly, they provide us with an opportunity to glimpse Andal's world and live her works, "black as the star-tossed ocean".
Deonte Osayande, 'Tornadoes'
Introduced by Jacob Silkstone
All great poetry springs from genuine feeling. Deonte Osayande's 'Tornadoes' takes enormous risks with the rawness and directness of its language, progressing through a series of simple statements from "my fiancée and I see/ the confederate flags" to
I am reminded of how my presence isn't wanted
in my own home country and I have to swallow
that truth like a glass of water. I gulp it down
and nearly suffocate every time.
Presenting this unadorned version of the truth requires both talent and courage. Another poet would perhaps have masked their rage behind elaborate rhetoric, or relied on form to drive the machine of the poem unrelentingly forward. Instead, Deonte Osayande has the confidence to refrain from over-editing.
Not that 'Tornadoes' is concerned primarily with rage or fear. It turns out to be a poem 'about' redemption. Leading into the final stanza, the speaker affirms that "We found joy despite it all… We will celebrate/ despite it all because they can't take our joy from us/ … we gonna keep on dancing." In dark and uncertain times, optimism is a priceless commodity.
At the time of publication, midway through a politically turbulent summer, 'Tornadoes' was worthy of admiration for the ease with which it seemed to cut to the heart of contemporary America. Four months later, as we move into this new post-Trump reality, 'Tornadoes' reads more than ever like that poem-in-a-thousand which manages to bring us face to face with the world as it really is. Don't turn away.
Chika Unigwe, 'Sketches of My Mother'
Introduced by Mehreen Fatima Ashfaq
In 'Sketches of my Mother', Chika Unigwe explores the bond between a mother and a daughter against the backdrop of immigration. 'Sketches…' takes the most primal of relationships and develops a narrative around it that leaves a lingering impression on the reader.
Unigwe deftly depicts a moving representation of the foreign experience in the character of the protagonist's mother, creating a convincing portrayal of the stages of wonder that accompany a venture into a new world — a journey that leads to estrangement coupled with a deep, unrelenting sense of homesickness. The old is juxtaposed with the young, and the protagonist here is a symbol of the evergreen adaptability of youth. It is easy to relate to her desire for familiarity in the land she now calls home, and the reader can't help but root for her happiness. The maturity she displays as the rather poignant resolution of a story unfolds is an instance of wonderfully subtle character development. Throughout the story, Unigwe presents scents and flavours to the senses, delicately balancing the physical with insightful and perceptive observations of the human heart and mind, making her work a joy to read.
Lara Williams, 'Beautiful Existence'
Introduced by Casey Harding
It is hard to pull off a story based solely around a character's nuances ('A Confederacy of Dunces' is a novel-length example that comes to mind) but Lara Williams does it beautifully. From the beginning sentence, "It begins, and ends, with the birds," she propels you into the mind of a neurotic depressive who struggles to make it through the day. That sounds like a terribly sad story, but one of the magical things about 'Beautiful Existence' is how it holds on to its bouncing, sprightly tone. The tone and the pacing of the story don't allow you to feel much of anything but the onrushing words until you get to the last sentence and sit back and breathe out and immediately go back to the beginning. It is a short story, less than 800 words, and at that length prose has to read more like poetry than fiction. Each word is given so much more weight that an author cannot afford to be lazy. "A chirruping chorus, scattered squeaks trilling through the rustle; the branches carousing like veins…" and "The evenings are getting longer, stretching out like sleeping cats, rolling over and over…" are just two examples of the carefully wrought, meticulous language that Lara Williams uses. This is a story that invites multiple readings, with each reading yielding new discoveries.
Soniah Kamal, 'The Fall: How Not to Survive Your Father's Imprisonment'
Introduced by Constance A. Dunn
Soniah Kamal's story begins with a phone call informing her that her father has been taken to prison after a nonviolent coup of the Pakistani government. She is stuck in the USA, thousands of miles away from the ensuing family upheaval. Her raw, personal narrative of distance and the pain of separation weaves in and out of memories and history, ending poignantly at 9/11 and the ominous phrase, "A safety net has fallen and we're all tangled up." Despite the piece ending on an event that redefined the world, it's the image of Kamal's father that stands out. Elegantly sandwiched between short descriptions of his favorite chair (one that no one sat in during the entire nine months of his imprisonment), Kamal's father is the everyman — stable, intelligent and loving, a timeless universal that asks the reader to imagine their own father whisked away without explanation. And rather than school the reader on the whys and hows, she asks them to feel alongside her, creating a disarming empathy that feels more like a late night chat with a friend than a speech to the class.
Kamal's story does what short nonfiction does so well, putting the reality of an individual experience in the context of world events.

Currently, there are a few suction lip plumpers on the market.
1. CandyLipz Xtreme Lip-Shaper System by Dr. Thienna Ho: $34.99 to $119.99.
2. Jolie Lips: Lip Plumping System: $22.95 to $27.99.
3. De Luxe Lip Plumper: $99.99 to $299.99.
5. Fullips by Linda Gomez: $19.99 to $49.99.
The price can range from $19.99 up to $299.99 for a system. All of these pumps use suction technology to increase the appearance of lip volume- but what are the differences between all of them?
There are 5 lobes on the lips. The most difficult lobe to work on is lobe #2. Lobe #2 is extremely sensitive to suction. It is easily excited and has a tendency to enlarge quicker than the rest of other lobes if it is not managed correctly and gently. The Jolie Lips Plumping System, De Luxe Lip Plumper, Luscious Lips by Cynthia Rowland, Liptiful and Fullips use small suction openings to enhance the lips. For example, when one applies a 1-inch diameter tube to the lips, most of the suction pulls the center of the lips ( see the image below).
When using a small opening lip plumper, it enhances largely the center of the lips.
As a consequence, lobe# 2 might be overly exaggerated if the suction is left on too long while other lip lobes may need more time to be enhanced. To have well-balanced lips, these suction tools have to be moved to the left (lobe #1 and/or #4) and/or right (lobe #3 and/or #5) to complete the lip enhancement sessions. The results may be hard to control. One side could be much fuller than the other side. It also takes more time to enhance the lips.
Getting the pouty lips look of youth is no easy task. Surgeons have been trying for decades to create the look of youth by injecting fillers to 15 anatomical zones of the lips as shown in the image below. However, the results were less than satisfactory because the lips end up not looking natural.
Scientific studies show that lips start to thin out gradually after the age of 18 and 16 for females and males, respectively. As we age, the Cupid's Bow become blunted and drooped. We also lose projection and definition of the upper lip. This is why enhancement of the upper lip is a must if one wants to look youthful. The image below shows the 3 areas of the upper lip that are important in creating the youthful lip look: a desired shorter and thicker philtrum, a raised and well-defined curvaceous Cupid's bow, and a nice deep philtral dimple. All these attributes are hallmarks of youthful lips known as pouty lips.
As of today, all experts agree that to get the pouty lips look of youth, both the lips and the upper areas of the lip must be enhanced. Otherwise, if you enhance just the lips alone, you may ended up getting the classic trout-lip look of lip injections.
Lip plumpers that have very small openings are unable to tackle the upper lip areas shown in the 3 Beauty Targets image above. The results may be undesirable if your lips do not already have those youthful features. Enhancing the lips alone may not be good enough.
In summary, the Jolie Lips Plumping System, De Luxe Lip Plumper, Luscious Lips by Cynthia Rowland, Liptiful and Fullips will work for users who already have great Cupid's Bow and upper lip projection and definition. If users are not looking for anything extreme or an extreme makeover, these lip plumpers will do just fine if you learn how to use their lip pumps properly.
On the other hand, if you are looking for a lip plumper that is designed and engineered specifically to work on the 15 anatomical lip zones, the 30-times award winning CandyLipz Xtreme Lip-Shaper System is the lip plumper for you (See the image below). CandyLipz uses a large lip plumper opening to cover all anatomical lip zones. Users will not need to adjust the suction lip pump to work on all lip areas. It is much quicker to get the results using this all-in-one solution.
Let's take a look why CandyLipz is so unique. In addition to using the suction method as seen in all other lip plumpers, CandyLipz has a brilliant advanced patented lip-shaper technology embedded inside the lip pump (as shown in the illustration below). This gives users to a smooth plumping effect because users do not have to move the suction tool around the mouth to get the desired results. Thus, users can shape and contour the lips beautifully- something not found in other lip plumping tools.
CandyLipz not only enhances the lips but it can produce two looks: single-lobed and double-lobed lip styles. The single-lobed style creates a uniform rounded lobe on the lower lip.
Here is an example of CandyLipz double-lobed lip style. It creates a cute vertical dent on the lower lip without lip surgery.
An example of Amber using the single-lobed lip plumper style. All images are real and unedited.
An example of Amber using the double-lobed lip plumper style. All images are real and unedited.
CandyLipz was invented to restore oddly shaped lips and the appearance of aging lips. We are all born with lips but not all lips are created equal in shape and contour regardless of their lip sizes. As we age, these problems get worse due to gravity and muscle atrophy of the lip and mouth tissues. If you experience thinning of the lips, lip asymmetry, lip lines/grooves/pits/smoker's lines, drooping of the Cupid's bow and corners of the mouth, and/or lengthening of the lip philtrum, CandyLipz is built to improve the appearance of your lips instantly. Using CandyLipz is like bringing your lips to the Gym!
This video illustrates how you can anti-age your lips instantly.
We hope you enjoy an in depth review of this article. Happy Lip Plumper Shopping.

With how much we've all seen of Overwatch, it's kind of hard to believe that it's only just come out. Having clocked almost 60 hours of it pre-release in the form of betas, I was anticipating what has changed since those betas. Well, after a number of hours more, I can categorically say that pretty much nothing has changed. That being said, Overwatch is one of the deepest, well-thought and satisfying shooters every released. Not bad for a development team releasing their very first FPS.
Developed by Blizzard and out now on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, Overwatch is just a standard First Person Shooter. It takes elements, design choices, and the feel of many different games, not just other shooters. Maps themselves feel incredibly diverse despite being an arena shooter for the most part. Tight corridors, and overlooking pathways feel like a mid to long range player's dream but for every aspect of a map that suits a certain playstyle there's always some way to counteract that. There are multiple paths, flanking manoeuvres, and verticality that lends itself well to an on-the-fly strategy that feels like every respawn is a new objective.
While the maps play some part in that, Overwatch's highlight is its diverse range of characters. Here you have a choice of 21 heroes and they don't just feel slightly different. Each one feels so unique that it feels more like you have 21 classes rather than 21 characters to choose from. Every single character has abilities that work well with other character's on a team as well as an excellent way to turn the tide on an enemy that may be performing incredibly well. Changing characters throughout matches should become more common the more that you play as you learn to understand the many layers each one holds.
This may sound overwhelming to understand the intricacies of 21 different characters but the truth is that you'll get acclimated to a few favourites in the beginning. The roster is broken down into four different sections: Attack, Defence, Tank, and Support. You'll find your favourite from each section in the beginning but as you play and play against the roster, you'll start to see how effective different characters are and how they can be utilised in matches. It's all quite easy to understand through play what every character can do. However, it isn't that bare as everything is deceptively deeper than you can imagine. There's a magic to Overwatch in how it always has something new to show you and that will only continue as the quality of players go up.
Overwatch grows in greatness the more that you play it. You acclimate to different conditions, you excel as different heroes on different maps and depending on the gameplay modes, the experience from match to match can vary wildly. Despite this, Overwatch is simply one of the greatest multiplayer games to come out in years.
As you level up you unlock loot boxes which become the new biggest addiction. There's such a satisfying feeling and look opening the loot box to see which new cosmetic items you've unlocked. You'll unlock skins, lines of dialogue, sprays and more for each character that make then all look unique but still feel the exact same. This means there is no advantage for higher levelled players. The skill comes from understanding your hero and their strength and weaknesses.
Overwatch is Blizzard's first attempt at First Person Shooters and they nail it on their first attempt. It's fun, fast, fluid, and deeply gratifying.
Mei should be everybody's bae. 5/5.

Before moving to Japan, I was living In Tasmania and instructing Budo at the University of Tasmania and the Police Citizens Youth Club. While renting the Judojo at the University, I became friends with the Aikido and Judo exponents. The Judojo had recently been completed and a Grand opening ceremony was to take place with special guests.
One special guest was Mr Taka Nakajima. For 10 years he resided in Tasmania and took the role as the Police Academy Self Defence and Sports trainer for the new recruits. During this time, he was accredited with establishing Judo and Aikido firmly in Tasmania. Since then, his influence has ensured the continuation of Judo and Aikido in all areas of the state and around the world.
The following is taken from the University Newsletter.
Internationally acclaimed martial arts expert Professor Takeshi Nakajima flew in from Japan to take part in the officla opening ceremony of the Universities new $300,000 dojo. Nakajima holds a 7th degree in Aikido and Judo. He is a professor at the Kokushikan University in Tokyo, and a director of the Japanese Academy of Budo. He lived in Tasmania between 1974 – 1981 and developed the physical education and self defence course at the Police Academy. He has coached many Tasmanians to state, national and international championship level.
After the completion of the ceremony, I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Nakajima at a luncheon. He was very interested to hear about the budo I studied. He became even more fascinated to hear that three of the ryuha are ninjutsu lineage. As a result of our conversation, he stated that he wished to see our training in person.
Kokushikan Judojo – muto dori
The following class, Mr Nakajima entered the dojo and watched training. Afterwoods, he said that he was impressed with the fact we had maintained a solid root with traditional budo and that he could see the footwork of both Judo and Aikido in our training.
Sannindori
When I told him that I intended to move to Japan for further study, Mr Nakajima invited me to demonstrate our Budo at his University Judo dojo. I accepted on the conditioned that it was allowed by my teachers.
Nage Bojutsu
Time passed and when I had settled in Japan, I spoke to Nagato Sensei and then Soke. They both gave me the permission to give a demonstration of budo at the University. Nagato Sensei said it was a very famous university fo Judo and that he himself had visited there a few times.
Ninja-ken Ichi no kamae
With Joji and a few buyu from the Hombu, I visited the University Dojo and gave a small demonstration infront of a group of students. I concentrated on ukemi,muto dori,bojutsu,kenjutsu,shuko,shuriken, and kyoketsu shoge. After the demonstration we practised as a group, some basic waza.
Mr Nakajima was very pleased with the event. After we changed, he took us for lunch before leaving for Chiba.
Hanbojutsu
Many thanks to those who assisted me in trying to demonstrate the arts of the Bujinkan Dojo that day.
Arigatoo Gozaimashita!

I knew that would happen before I started, I just wanted to see if I could get any info at all. My account is corporate, so we don't get to do much of anything online except view our bill and call log, but nothing can be changed. Any orders need to go through our campus representative.
I just got my 3Gs at this time last year, so I think it will be a few months before I can upgrade anyway. I'm guessing 6 months.
While I wait, I will be upgrading my 3Gs to the new iOS4 in 6 short days.

How John McCain lost the Republican Party
The Republican Party that McCain aspired to create and lead in 2000 would have been a more socially libertarian and perhaps even more interventionist version of the party that George W. Bush led. But Bush destroyed that party through his blunders, and by the time McCain was picked to succeed him, the GOP and the country had moved on. Ron Paul, not McCain, was the standard-bearer for libertarian Republicanism by then, as his son Rand Paul is today. Bill Kristol, sensing that McCain needed a running mate with credibility among the grassroots right, lobbied to put Palin on the ticket. Instead of Palin's populist credentials saving McCain Republicanism, however, her popularity with the base confirmed that the future would belong to someone like Donald Trump. George W. Bush's wars and mismanagement of the economy achieved what Pat Buchanan's campaigns in the 1990s had not been able to do—to turn the GOP toward nationalism.
If McCain had been in the nominee in 2000 instead of Bush, would the same thing have happened? McCain was the better man than Bush, with the scars to prove that war was no mere exercise in idealism to him. But that doesn't mean he would have been a better president. The remarkable thing, looking back at what Kristol and Brooks wrote about McCain at the turn of the century, is how they wanted McCain to play exactly the role that Trump now plays, albeit with a different policy script. "The McCain insurgency is not ideological. It does feature certain themes and principles, but they are not yet fully developed into a governing agenda," they wrote. "McCain is trying to bring new and unlikely blood into Republican ranks. … Many of these new Republican primary voters seem ill-suited to the GOP. But that's what insurgencies do. They expand the base. They topple the old establishment by bringing in new people. They create new alliances within the party." Imagine Kristol

Christian theology and ecclesiastical history have always been of paramount importance to the Library. Modern archival holdings are strongest in the field of Nonconformity.
The Methodist Archives and Research Centre holds the largest collection in the world of manuscripts relating to the founders of Methodism, John and Charles Wesley and other members of the Wesley family.
Other notable Methodist figures who are represented include Thomas Coke, Joseph Benson, Adam Clarke, William Clowes, Hugh Bourne, John Rattenbury, John Ernest Rattenbury, Harold Burgoyne Rattenbury, and Dr Rupert Davies.
The institutional records of Methodism are also well represented. These include the records of the Methodist Conference and its several committees and large collections deposited by the administrative Divisions of the Church.
There is material relating to all the major preunion Methodist denominations, including the Lewis Court Bible Christian Collection. The Methodist theological college, Hartley Victoria College, and Hunmanby Hall, the Methodist girls' boarding school, are also represented.
Most other major Nonconformist denominations are also represented, including archives of Baptists, Christian Brethren, Congregationalists, Moravians and Unitarians (mostly linked with printed collections).
There are also records from associated religious organizations and pressure groups, such as the Audenshaw Foundation, the Industrial Mission Association, the William Temple Foundation, the League of the Good Samaritan and the Women in Theology Group.
The Library also holds a collection of medieval charters relating to Pluscarden Priory, Morayshire; the archives of the Canonesses of the Holy Sepulchre, who took over the House of the Frères Coquins in Liège, Belgium; and the medieval Beaumont Charters relating to abbeys in Normandy.
Papers of individual churchmen and theologians include those of John Graham (Quaker), Jack Keiser (lay ministry), Thomas Manson (Presbyterian, biblical scholar), Arthur Samuel Peake (Primitive Methodist, biblical scholar), Thomas Raffles (Congregationalist, church historian), dom sylvester houédard (Benedictine monk, leading figure in the ecumenical movement), and Edward Freeman (church historian).
The Bagshawe Muniments contain papers of the Rev. William Bagshawe (1628-1702), the 'Apostle of the Peak', and other early Nonconformist ministers.
Outstanding among the printed theological and ecclesiastical resources is the Bible Collection which numbers some 10,000 items, including first editions in about 400 languages and dialects published over five centuries.
The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century is well documented, with tracts and other publications associated with Luther, Erasmus, Melanchthon and others to be found within the Reformation Collection.
The politico-theological controversies of the 17th century are fully rehearsed in the English Tract Collection, the Street Literature Collection of ballads and broadsides, and the Sutherland Collection.
John Rylands was himself a devout Nonconformist; his Hymn Collection consists of 60,000 English and other hymns in 34 volumes.
The Library is a world centre for the study of Nonconformist theology and history. The transfer of the Methodist Archives Printed Book Collections (comprising some 60,000 items) to the Library in 1977 greatly supplemented the already excellent holdings in this area, such as the Rylands Wesley Collection and the Hobill Collection, to make the Rylands's collections the prime resource for Methodist history.
There are nationally important printed collections illustrating the history of the Baptists (Northern Baptist College Printed Collection), Unitarians (Unitarian College Printed Collection), Congregationalists (Congregational College Printed Collection), Quakers (Midgley Reference Library and Wilmslow Quaker Collection) and Christian Brethren (Christian Brethren Printed Collection). The Urwick Library from Hatherlow Congregational Church in Romiley, Cheshire, is one of the few 19th-century chapel libraries to have survived.
Other noteworthy collections include the Clogher Diocesan Library from Ireland; the G.L. Brook Theology Collection which contains 17th- and 18th-century theological works; the Dr Bray Clerical Lending Library from Poulton-le-Fylde in Lancashire; a collection of early 19th-century tracts published by the American Sunday School Union; and a collection of biblical and theological literature presented by James Prince Lee (1804-1869), Bishop of Manchester.
The Cassedy Collection of Irish publications contains works relating to the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches in Ireland. The Kinder Collection relates to sixteenth-century Spanish Nonconformity and related areas of study such as European Protestant and Catholic Reformations, radical reformers, and Spanish Golden Age religious literature.

Finding Camlann
Let's get one thing straight right off the bat- if you picked up Sean Pidgeon's debut novel Finding Camlann hoping for a fast-paced, Dan Brown-style conspiracy thriller, chances are that you're going to be disappointed.
Instead, Finding Camlann is a wonderfully meandering adventure through the Welsh countryside with Donald Gladstone, an English archaeologist researching the origins of the King Arthur legend, and Julia Llewellyn, a Welsh linguist working for the Oxford Dictionary. The reader is introduced to Gladstone as he struggles to prepare a manuscript disproving the popular conception of Arthur as a warrior fighting off the Anglo-Saxons in the post-Roman period. The problem is that Gladstone can't seem to provide an alternate explanation for who Arthur actually was. This is a common motif throughout Finding Camlann- how do you disprove something without suggesting an alternate explanation in its place? If King Arthur wasn't a post-Roman war leader, exactly who or what was he?
Much like the research work that Gladstone struggles with throughout the novel's beginning, Finding Camlann takes several chapters to find its pace and enthrall the reader into the mysteries and lore of Arthurian legend. This isn't a race-to-the-finish line adventure novel but rather a more scholarly, pensive tale that follows the discovery of an ancient burial site and a long-lost epic poem that could solve the mystery of the origins of the King Arthur legends and the location of Camlann, the purported site of the famous king's last battle.
While Pidgeon writes with the assumption that the reader has a basic grasp of Arthurian legend, nothing in the lore or academic research being done by the characters is inaccessible or confusing. At worst, a quick Google search can help to untangle the relations of some of the more complicated Welsh histories but in general the story flows well, if slowly at times, transporting the reader back and forth from picturesque Oxford and a handful of quaint British pubs to the sprawling, spectacular countryside of rural Wales. The conclusions eventually drawn by Gladstone, the main character, are refreshingly unique from those of other novels based around the Arthurian legends and offer an enticing perspective into the vast realm of possibilities surrounding these long-studied characters.
Once Finding Camlann manages to pull you into its web, it's extremely difficult to break free. This is the kind of story that stays with you long after you put the book down, challenging every single one of the mainstream historical narratives that have come to dominate discussions about the Arthurian legends- and thank goodness for that. It's about time someone wrote a fresh take on the history behind the lore.

Buble Uncorks More Crazy Love Dates for Autumn 2010 - Ireland and UK Ticket Details
Posted: 10th March 2010
Grammy-award winner and housewife's choice, Michael Buble, has announced further dates around the UK (and Ireland) to counteract the sell-out Spring tour in May. The new run will begin in Ireland with two dates in Dublin on September 24th and 25th and tickets are on sale now priced at €65.70 upwards.
He then leaves his craic (oh behave!) behind for extra UK nights beginning in Sheffield on September 27th, continuing to Newcastle (28th), Nottingham (30th), London's Wembley Arena (2 nights - Oct 2nd and 3rd), Manchester (6th) and finally (or is it?) Birmingham on the 9th. Tickets will cost from around £50 upwards and will go on sale at 9am on Friday 12th March.
His recent fourth studio album, 'Crazy Love', has so far reached number 1 in seven countries (including ours) and provided him with his first Top five hit, 'I Just Haven't Met You Yet'. This second leg of his Crazy Love Tour will continue on to other parts of Northern Europe during October.
Update: Saturday 13th March
After what was a pretty manic Friday (12th March), Michael's trio of London dates have now sold-out. The only dates now available with tickets at face value (£50 for UK, €65.70 for Ireland) are: Dublin (Friday and Saturday 24th/ 25th September), Monday 27th September in Sheffield, Thursday 7th October in Manchester and Sunday 10th October in Birmingham.
Both the Manchester and Birmingham date were added yesterday morning - as was the third London date.

I constantly tell my adult ESL/Pre-GED students to find connections between what they are currently learning to something they already know. Here's my connection to becoming my own RA health advocate.
When my first baby was born, I was determined I was going to nurse him. I thought I had read everything on nursing I could before he was born. However, what I didn't read was how breastfeeding does not always come naturally for everyone. I was given a lactation consultant in the hospital without much luck and sent home with a bag of formula. At home, my little one and I still weren't getting the latch-on figured out. I could tell he wanted to, but it just wasn't happening which raised my stress levels to new highs. I was determined though and kept trying to move the formula out of my mind. Finally, after an early morning call to our pediatrician, I was connected with a La Leche League leader (a group for breastfeeding moms). She gently encouraged me that I could do it. She asked some questions and quickly figured out the problem. The memory of my son's first real nursing session still makes me cry – 19 years later. Not only was I finally meeting his needs, but I had made a parenting decision that came true with some perseverance.
Having another mom that I could call for help was amazing and I quickly began attending LLL meetings every week. It was amazing to hear seasoned moms share their stories and ask questions of me that helped me become stronger as a mom. They really listened. It didn't take long until I was the one helping others which is an amazing feeling. When my second was born and I chose to tandem nurse, I found a subgroup of moms within the group that helped a seasoned mom with a new concern. (Wouldn't it be cool if we had a similar group for RA?) I took a lot of life lessons from La Leche League, but a few really stood out when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
First, I learned from LLL that my family and physicians are there to help me as a mom, but ultimately, I am the expert on my child. I know him/her in a way that nobody else will. I learned from other moms how to trust myself. If something didn't feel right, it most likely wasn't right for my child. This was true for RA too. When I returned two weeks after my initial appointment with my family physician, he was surprised to see me, but I knew something wasn't right. A referral was made. Unfortunately, I didn't always trust myself in the beginning and ended up staying with my first rheumatolgoist, who wasn't a good fit, for several years. Instead of listening to what my heart was telling me, I used my rheumy as what my husband referred to as my "drug dealer" rather than a partner in my health. It just never occurred to me that I could change rheumatologists. Luckily, I had created a health team of a family physician I felt comfortable with and a naturopath that left me feeling like Super Woman after each appointment. They both reminded me that I know myself well and I needed to follow the journey that fit my individual needs. A new rheumatologist was found. At the second Joint Decisions Empowerment Summit this weekend, I felt a renewed strength in myself. I was reminded of how different each of the participants journeys have been, but how each one of us know ourselves well enough to speak out for what is right for who we are.
Another lesson I learned from LLL was to share positive stories with my spouse about my child in front of him/her and just as importantly, to let our child overhear me saying good things about them when they weren't the center of attention. Rhonda, our Joint Decisions energy break coach, reminded us that we have a private voice always going on and what we tell that private voice is very important. Over the weekend, I was thinking about how sometimes I hear positives about myself from others, but I don't always share those stories out loud for myself to overhear. A few weeks back, I told my class that the homework assignment I was giving was really important and if it wasn't completed I would be angry. A student raised his hand and said, "Even if you are angry with us, you will still have a smile." That was a huge complement to me. With at risk students, the greatest thing I bring to the classroom is my smile. Imagine if I shared that story out loud for my family and friends to hear? Would I feel like I am bragging to say good things about myself or would hearing it out loud encourage me to carry that smile with me more places knowing I am making a small but important difference in this world?
Learning to be your own advocate in your relationships, job, and especially health takes time. It isn't something that just comes naturally for many of us. This weekend I felt very fortunate to be part of the Joint Decisions team of advocates. We weren't just a team of bloggers advocating for ourselves, but I really felt like the entire Janssen and Tonic team was there advocating for us, with us. There were so many times when a blogger would share something we wished was different and a Janssen member would say, "How can we help make this happen?" What a special question to ask.
Good things are happening in the RA world and Joint Decisions is definitely going to lead the way in that. I'll post more about the summit soon, but I am exhausted. We took in a lot of beautiful scenery and memories this weekend that I'd like to spend some time reflecting on.
The Walking Strike is Over!
Boy am I late reading this, but I wanted to send thanks for a great post. As we discussed at the Summit, none of us are in a vacuum. We bring all of our experiences with us when we become RA patients. Being able to connect all the positive things from LLL as a foundation to the great things you contribute as an RA advocate just underscores that fact. It was great to see you at the Summit and to be able to share the experience with you and the other great bloggers.


A new research project starts on June 2011, which is supported by Korea MEST (Ministry of Education, Science and Technology): Establishment of Circum Arctic Permafrost Environment Change Monitoring Network and Future Prediction Techniques (CAPEC Project, PI Dr. Bang Yong Lee) Through this project, we have a plan to establish Arctic monitoring nodes to study environmental changes and develop the state-of-the-art observation techniques for terrestrial permafrost region. This monitoring project includes atmosphere-geosphere-biosphere monitoring system with Ubiquitous Sensor Network (USN) and GPS monitoring. The research aim of this project is (1) Understanding the correlation between carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes with soil properties, (2) Estimating the contribution of microbial respiration, and plant photosynthesis and respiration to the CO2 production from soil (3) Understanding geophysical and mechanical behavior of frozen ground correlated with environmental change. On the basis of KAMP (Korea Arctic Multidisciplinary Program) and CAPEC project, we did Arctic exploration on four different research sites in this summer: Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard Archipelago; Zackenberg, Greenland; Council, Alaska; and Cambridge Bay, Canada.
We collected soil samples to study microbial community and soil organic carbon (SOC) in the area down from Vestre Lovénbreen where different vegetation types were established. We also set plots to study the succession of vegetation in this area. We also have a plan to analyze the spatial distribution of vegetation and microbes along chronosequence of Austre glacier retreat, and the effects of glacier melting water on the both organisms' establishments and soil development.
In Northeast Greenland, as collaboration with Prof. Anders Michelsen (Univ. of Copenhagen), we visited Zackenberg Research Station (74°30'N / 21°00'W) to collect soil samples at the experimental plots (treatments: summer warming, shaded, added snow, removed snow, and control). We are interested in microbial community and SOC (soil organic carbon) responses to warming. We appreciate Dr. Morten Rasch (Univ. of Aarhus) supporting our visit to Zackenberg Station.
We managed an automatic carbon dioxide (CO2) chamber system to monitor CO2 exchange between surface soil and atmosphere in this area. Chamber system consists of 15 chambers (40 cm × 30 cm), soil temperature and water content sensors, and solar and wind power generators. Main objective of this study is to investigate roles of vegetation and soil microbes in CO2 exchange. We also installed an automatic electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) monitoring system from June to September. The ERT monitoring system consists of a fixed array of 42 electrodes with a spacing of 1 m. The electrodes are connected by cable to resistivity meter (Terrameter LS). The array of ERT was dipole-dipole array. We expect ERT monitoring can reveal substantial ground ice degradation as a consequence of variation of air temperature and gas migration. We collected soil samples in order to characterize permafrost soil properties, microbial communities and their correlation. We appreciate Prof. Larry Hinzman (Univ. of Alaska, Fairbanks) supporting our visit to Council site.
Korean Research Team (Dr. Ok-Sun Kim, Dr. Dockyu Kim from KOPRI and Prof. Hee Myung Noh from Seoul National University, ect.) at Council site.
To pursue the possibility of collaborative research with Canadian partners in the area of long-term monitoring and assessments of the permafrost, we visited Cambridge Bay on July, 2011. We checked the candidate research area to set up an integrated permafrost monitoring package in Cambridge Bay area. The proposed working package will be the form of monitoring tower type, which will be composed of met observation, CO2 and/or CH4 (ambient concentration and/or flux), black carbon measurements, long-term permafrost monitoring bore-hole, soil temperature, radiation (solar, thermal albedo, etc), and so on.

Using Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), an attacker can force a user who is currently authenticated with a web application to execute an unwanted action. The attacker can trick the user into loading a page which may send a request to perform the unwanted action in the background. In the case of Searchblox, we can use CSRF to perform actions on the admin dashboard by targeting an administrator.
We assume that Searchblox is installed at http://localhost:8080/. Our target is /searchblox/servlet/UserServlet u_name, u_passwd1, u_passwd2 and role parameter which is the page used to create a new user. The given POC will create a user on the website which has full administrator privileges.
An open redirect is an application that takes a parameter and redirects a user to the parameter value without any validation. The url parameter at the "http://localhost:8080/searchblox/servlet/FileServlet?Url=evil.com" of the Searchblox application is affected by open redirect vulnerability.

This might seem like a silly question, but we think it is an important one to answer. By understanding what a podiatrist is, we hope that you with continue to receive the best care possible. And maybe even know better when to visit our office.
A podiatrist is a doctor of podiatric medicine (DPM). In other words, a podiatrist is a physician and surgeon who treats the foot, ankle and related structures of the leg. It is important to call your podiatrist whenever you have a complication with your feet, ankles or legs, or even before further complications come up.
Because our feet are complex anatomical structures and shock absorbers, they are instrumental to our overall health and wellbeing. And for this reason, they require expert care. This is why it is important to visit your qualified podiatrist to treat your feet. Be sure to look for the "DPM" after his or her name—this means a physician has completed years of rigorous foot and ankle training in podiatric medical school and hospital-based residency training. It makes him or her uniquely qualified to care for this part of the body.
Podiatrists complete four years of training in a podiatric medical school and three years of hospital residency training, which is similar to that of other physicians. Many podiatrists may even go on to complete fellowship training after completion of their residency.
To learn more about podaitric care, please feel free to contact our Upper East Side or Bay Ridge office—our experienced team of doctor's are more than happy to help! You can also request an appointment at either office by clicking here!

Did you know there's a fast and easy way to create a Facebook group traffic loop that will help you sell more courses? This post will show you how to group and nurture your Facebook group, build a back-up email list AND not upset anyone in the process! Are you ready to build an engaged community using Facebook?
Set up your Facebook group. It should be a closed group so you can foster a sense of exclusivity easily.
Add a group header. You can create on Canva.com I recommend adding a photo of yourself as well as your logo. You want people interested in your group to see that you're a warm and approachable person.
Choose the type of group – I choose community.
Connect your group to your Facebook page.
Connect to Group Convert. This nifty piece of software collects the email addresses that people add into the group and adds them to a spreadsheet. You can then import the spreadsheet into Active Campaign, or another email program.
Remember to ask for consent, and remember to keep the spreadsheet so you can track where the consent for GDPR came from if you ever need it. I have mine in a OneDrive folder for safekeeping.
Write a list post packed with resources. One of those is my free Facebook group, and I recommend that you add yourse to your list of resources too. I make sure the audience can identify themselves from the headline, create a branded image for Pinterest and optimise it for social media as well as making it search engine-friendly.
What lead magnets work best? I usually send them to a post with a social locker to increase visibility. These posts are the kind of post that ask you to share to unlock the gift, my audience loves checklists and these lend well to promoting an online course. Because I pay for the social locking tool, I can give a gift to my new subscriber, but the URL that they share is to my Facebook group – a magical viral traffic loop.
Social Locker for WordPress website.
The next step is to nurture the new community and let them get to know us. We want our community to be excited and engaged with our best quality content. We want to talk about the problems our community have, and how our course can help them. You can share screens and show your training skills as you livestream. I use Streamyard for this.
I love that Streamyard makes it easy to share screens, that I can change the screen layout and that I can have a lower thrid that's easy to customise.
When you have a few people on your email list, start sending a weekly digest about the questions in the group. Send links to videos that you've done and ask them to vote in polls. You can increase engagement very easily using the emails, and you look like the great community leader that you are!
Why don't more people do this to build their group and engagement?
There's a lot of people who'd like to detach themselves from their potential customers, for a number of reasons. They could be shy, or introverted. It could be they prefer to run ads to their group than create content that converts.
They may think they're time poor, or they may think they don't know what to say or how to say it.
I know from experience that quick 10 minute daily videos will help you sell more courses and Facebook groups are perfect for this. What would you be able to share in 10 minutes that would grow your audience and have them excited to work with you, or take a course?
The last tool that I want to share with you is time sensitive and it's all about crossing the streams https://www.leadslaunchleverage.com/restream I love this tool because you can chat across multiple platforms and so can your viewers – it's fantastic for helping you nurture and grow your community.
So there you have it! A simple system to build your email list using Facebook groups, build and nurture your community and talk to them no matter where they are!
Enjoy this fast and easy way to sell more courses, create an engaged community and ensure you have a steady stream of people excited to get to know you.

Some French universities are very vigilant in terms of plagiarism, research misconduct and make a real effort to educate their researchers. Congratulations to Doctoral School of Law of Strasbourg, which has dedicated a whole day to this sensitive issue. In this context, I was invited to present the administrative and judicial litigation of plagiarism in research in France, and to give a vision of the practice in Germany.


Even in our improving strong New Orleans housing market, we are still having to counsel our sellers about handling low ball real estate offers. Most of the time, people are angry. Or confused. Or wondering why the heck we even brought them such a ludicrous offer.
The flip side of that coin is buyers aren't quite convinced that the market is favoring sellers, assuming that they can still get the bargains that New Orleans real estate offered in the past. My, how times have changed.
Now is not the time to forget that selling your home is a business transaction. We'd say it's not personal, but we all know that's not true. It's personal to you and, unless the potential buyer is an investor, it's personal to them too. But that doesn't mean that every buyer is trying to insult you – they may just be attempting to negotiate the lowest price possible.
It's tempting to say "just reject it". But that's not how negotiations work, is it? In reality, we advise our clients to counter ever offer because you never know what the other party is thinking. Writing a strong counter offer opens the door to negotiations while letting the buyer know where you stand on your price.
Do the terms outweigh the price?
If part of your moving plan is to remain in the house until the end of the summer, a lower price might fit perfectly since most buyers want to close and move within 45-60 days and cash buyers like to move even faster. While price is the driving factor in most decisions, more attractive terms can make that low ball offer more palatable.
Has the market in your neighborhood changed since your home was listed for sale? Now is the time to take a fresh look at the comparable sales to determine if the offer is actually more in line with recent sales than your listing price. Remember, those recent comps are what an appraiser is going to use when assigning a value to your home for the lender and we all know that low appraisals can kill a deal.
Technology can't replace the expertise of a knowledgeable local agent – let us help you feel confident in your home buying or selling decision. Contact us today at 504-327-5303.


On the evening of March 14th 2015, the world watched in disbelief as Rafael dos Anjos dominated every minute of a five round championship fight against the heavily favoured UFC lightweight champion Anthony "Showtime" Pettis.
With his legs wrapped around the champion in the last few seconds of the fight, Rafael Dos Anjos knew that the show was over for the ever popular "Showtime". And when the horn sounded for the fifth and final time in the match, the world of MMA stood witness to one of the biggest upsets in the history of the sport and a triumphant moment in one of the most storied careers in all of martial arts.
In all great mixed martial arts tales, there's always one bout that changes the landscape of what is expected of two fighters. A performance that ensures the world will learn the name, and never forget the fighter. It's now been almost 11 years since Rafael Dos Anjos first began his ascent to the upper stratosphere of the fastest growing sport in the world, making it easy to forget how he had started.
But to truly appreciate where he is now, we have to start again at the very beginning. Growing up on the streets in his hometown of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Rafael Dos Anjos' life was one of poverty and violence. The young, troubled boy would often get into fights, common to all who lived in the favelas, the ghettos of Rio de Janeiro. However, the life of trouble on the streets came to an end when he discovered Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at the age of 9.
This new found life in martial arts would give Dos Anjos all that he ever had; opportunities, friends, and an escape from a life deemed unhealthy by most. But most of all, this new found life would lead him down a path so filled with ups and downs, that it would see him become one of the most inspirational martial arts stories of all time.
Unlike most champions and champions to be, Dos Anjos had a rocky start to his MMA career. Taking the fight on short notice, he would go on to lose his debut via a controversial split decision. After leaving the fight with a black eye and a bloodied nose, his parents' disapproval of his ambitions in fighting grew stronger, causing him to depend solely on the support of his peers. Dos Anjos continued to pursue a life of MMA fighting for different promotions around Brazil and Japan.
Dos Anjos went on to win his next three fights in the UFC before facing top ranked lightweight title contender Clay Guida in 2010 at UFC 117. Dos Anjos' jaw was broken in the first round by a hook thrown by Guida. Dos Anjos would then be forced to submit in the third round from the pressure that was applied to his jaw. Broken in mind, body and spirit, Dos Anjos had lost all hope of ever fighting again. "I thought my career was gone, I thought I couldn't fight anymore," Dos Anjos recalled.
However, Dos Anjos overcame his doubts and pressed forward with the unending support of his teammates at Evolve MMA. In 2010, he moved to Singapore with his family to continue his training under the legendary Muay Thai instructors at Evolve MMA.
And a what great example he is. There is no doubt that Dos Anjos truly exemplifies what can be done with an indomitable will and an unbreakable warrior spirit. According to Dos Anjos, nothing is impossible if you have faith – not only in yourself but in a higher being as well.
His ability to overcome all odds and stand up to all the naysayers is truly admirable. And he believes that none of it would have been possible without the people who always had faith in him and helped him along the way.
Although Dos Anjos is at the pinnacle of success, he knows that there is still more to come. There will still be more fights; it's just the beginning. "I'm going to defend this belt and keep it for a long time, " he revealed. We believed in him before and we believe in him now, and if one thing's for certain; it's that Dos Anjos definitely keeps his word.


New York, NY (October 10, 2018) – New York Law School (NYLS) Dean Anthony W. Crowell, Associate Dean William P. LaPiana, and Professor Richard D. Marsico, Director of the Impact Center for Public Interest Law, announced significant expansions to NYLS's public interest activities.
NYLS has named Swati Parikh, an award-winning public interest career advisor, as its inaugural Executive Director of Public Service and Pro Bono Initiatives. In her new role, Ms. Parikh, who began her career as a housing attorney for low-income New Yorkers, will lead a new Office of Public Service and Pro Bono Initiatives, a "one-stop" resource for NYLS students on public interest-focused academic and career advising. She will also manage the operations of NYLS's Impact Center for Public Interest Law, one of its six academic centers. And she will oversee NYLS's new Social Justice Organization Incubator, a dedicated physical space in the heart of campus that will house her new office, the Impact Center, and leading national nonprofit organizations.
Fair and Just Prosecution, a criminal justice reform initiative that brings together newly-elected local prosecutors as part of a network of leaders committed to promoting a justice system grounded in fairness, equity, compassion, and fiscal responsibility.
The Fines & Fees Justice Center, a new national nonprofit that seeks to restore integrity to our justice system by eliminating the harmful and unjust impacts of fines and fees.
The Ethical Shareholder Initiative (coming in spring 2019), an independent, nonpartisan project that is creating a transparent and inclusive voting platform for investors focused on long-term value and sustainability, co-founded by the late Cornell Law Professor Lynn Stout and NYLS Professor Tamara Belinfanti.
The incubator will house NYLS's new Office of Public Service and Pro Bono Initiatives, led by Ms. Parikh. It will also be home to the existing Impact Center for Public Interest Law, led by Professor Marsico, and its highly-respected programs, including the Racial Justice Project, the Diane Abbey Law Institute for Children and Families, the Impact Center Fellows Program, the Racial Justice Fellows Program, and work with the Charter High School for Law and Social Justice in the Bronx, co-founded by Professor Marsico.
More space on campus for the Safe Passage Project, a nonprofit founded by NYLS Professor Lenni Benson and already housed at NYLS. Safe Passage, which represents unaccompanied children and teenagers in immigration court, took on nearly 100 new cases in the wake of national family separation policies, and its caseload is growing.
A new international-focused arm of the Racial Justice Project (as of January 2019).
Expanded pro bono opportunities for evening students through the co-located nonprofits.
Enhanced support for student-led pro bono and community service projects and travel.
Plans for a Public Service Scholars Program to recruit high-achieving law school applicants.
NYLS also does vital public interest work through its Center for New York City Law and The Joe Plumeri Center for Social Justice and Economic Opportunity, home to the School's 20-plus clinics and experiential programs serving immigrants, veterans, small-business owners, and other New Yorkers in need. Both groups will work with Ms. Parikh in her new role.


It has been a while since I have visited with LDS missionaries and our conversation lasted about 20 minutes. Three things stand out as I reflect back on my time with them.
Mormons have very specific beliefs, but the men were not looking to confront mine. "We're not trying to tear down anyone's faith," they said several times, "We just want to show you what we've found to be true." They happily encouraged my confidence in the Bible but wanted me to understand that the Book of Mormon is just another testament of Jesus Christ. I soberly realized how compelling their message would be to a person who does not have a solid grip on their theology.
I marveled anew at how the missionaries used the same terminology I use as an evangelical Christian. "Jesus is the Son of God… faith in Jesus…the Bible is God's Word…" They affirmed all these things. But I pressed them a bit to draw out the reality that while they use the same words, they define them in very different ways. "We are saved by grace," he assured me, but then went on to explain that by their faithful service they were earning their place in the Celestial Kingdom. "The Bible is God's Word…insofar as it is translated correctly." Hence the need for the Book of Mormon. The similar terminology makes the difference between LDS theology and the Bible seems negligible. But careful research reveals the difference to be massive.
These young men were polite, respectful and so obviously sincere. As we talked my overriding feeling was one of genuine sorrow. Despite introducing themselves as elders they were both almost young enough to be my sons. It broke my heart to hear them declare their absolute confidence in Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon and I silently prayed God would open their eyes to real grace through the real Jesus of the Bible.
