Treasure Coast By Tom Kakonis
Review by Cynthia Chow
Jim Merriman is a man accustomed to making empty promises, just to make his life easier. However, at his sister's deathbed, she forces him to utter a declaration to watch out for her son. Despite Jim's intention to avoid obligations, he finds himself trying to save Leon, a hapless twenty-one year-old who chose the wrong man to idolize as a father figure. A former card player who now works as an assistant clerk in a bookstore, Jim has lost none of his talent as a pathological liar. His tales have Leon looking to Jim for help with a forty-five thousand dollar gambling debt.
This is a tale of swindlers, con artists, and scammers. Readers are introduced to shady characters whose lives intersect as they pursue dreams of wealth and happiness. Or at least, wealth. Bryce "Noble" Norbert Bott is a self-declared reverend who, with his assistant Waneta, sells tombstones, until they stumble across the more lucrative scheme of psychic readings for the desperate. As it turns out, Bryce may be the only one who disbelieves Waneta's messages from the dead as her health falters and her utterings prove prophetic. Chasing Leon are two leg-breakers, one whose racist, sexist, profane, and sociopathic tendencies have his own boss concerned enough to send along a minder for the behemoth-sized Morris Biggs Junior. A story like this requires a tempting femme fatale, although in this instance, the alluring Mrs. Billie Swetts is in pursuit of a deeper meaning in her life. Being the fifth trophy wife of Big Lonnie has left her curiously unfilled and "uncentered."
Dark humor prevails in this tale of damaged souls who are flawed, yet desire something meaningful in their lives. A kidnapping scheme goes about as weird as it can. In a blend of Pain and Gain and Ruthless People, there is a real sense of jeopardy as the reader knows the worst is yet to come. These characters may be salvageable, if not redeemable, as they attempt to pull the swindle that will set them up for life. Jim and his unlikely allies will be lucky to escape with their lives. As bleak as their futures may be, the ironic tone and witty dialogue prevent the novel from becoming too morbid. The Florida setting enhances the amoral characters whose games of survival cause shifting loyalties, targets, and even dreams in this sardonic and dark comic portrayal of criminals, con artists, and survivors.

Interview Tom Kakonis
KRL: How long have you been writing?
Tom: The simplest answer to this question is about fifty of my present (and counting) 83 years. However, during that half-century of dreamy aspiration I've pursued the goal of fiction writing with varying degrees of focus and intensity. In the beginning I wrote some amateurish and derivative short stories that, on re-reading, were positively dreadful. The first novel I completed was evidently good enough to serve as a PhD dissertation from the U of Iowa Writers Workshop, but not impressive enough to spark any interest from the publishing industry. Faced with that failure and, like most college professors, chronically poor, I drifted into the textbook business, co-writing and editing a dozen or so college texts, none of which made any money apart from the minuscule advances offered for such efforts in those days. During those decades I was periodically struck with an inspiration and scribbled a few more novels, none of which ever found a publisher. Late in my fifties, with nothing better to do, I felt impelled to try once more. And that's when my luck changed.
KRL: When did your first novel come out? What was it called? A little about it?
Tom: My first published novel appeared in 1988 under the title Michigan Roll. During its writing the working title was God's Toy, taken from a line quoted by a character in the book: "Chance is the toy of God." I thought at the time it was the most appropriate title for the story unfolding. Still do, for that matter. However, my editor at St. Martin's Press gently pointed out that a title like that might give the impression it was a religious book, which of course it decidedly is not. And so, reluctantly, I altered the title.
Tom Kakonis
KRL: Have you always written mysteries/suspense? If not what else have you written?
Tom: As a matter of fact, Michigan Roll was my first venture into what might be called the crime fiction genre. Prior to that, all of the unpublished stories and novels mentioned above could be categorized as "serious" or "literary" fiction. I put those descriptive adjectives in quotes because of their patronizing, not to say snobbish, tone. The very real danger of a literary education for the aspiring writer is just that attitude of remote superiority fostered by such an education. This is not to say that reading the classics is not a useful element in the development of a writer's style and in enlarging his/her world view. However, and speaking strictly for myself, I can only say that when I tried to write what I thought (and had been taught) was literary fiction, nobody wanted to read it. Now I write stories centered on complex characters that happen to be involved in the commission of violent crimes.
KRL: What brought you to choose the setting and characters in your latest book/series? Please tell us a little about the setting and main character for your most recent book.
Tom: The novel Treasure Coast began, as so often was the case for me, out of some murky memories from the past. Like the central character, Jim Merriman, I had participated in a death watch for an older sister many years ago, and the sensory images from that difficult time still resonated in my memory. The setting came easily for me, since I had spent a considerable amount of time in the North Palm Beach, Florida, area. The villains in the novel, Hector and Junior and, I suppose to an extent, Bryce Bott, are without exception products of my overheated imagination. Contrary to what many people seem to believe, I do not mingle socially with such types in my day-to-day life. I have, however, been lucky enough to be around them in largely male settings (the army, swinging a sledge on the railroad, lifeguarding, gym rat, etc.) and thusly to acquire some of their otherwise un-inventible vernacular. I describe Jim Merriman as the central character, but that is not entirely accurate. Rather do I consider Treasure Coast a novel with an ensemble cast, some of whom are available for a sequel, should it ever emerge.
KRL: Do you write to entertain or is there something more you want the readers to take away from your work?
Tom: Definitely entertainment. Naturally, like all writers, I'm cheered when a reader picks up on what might be called a "theme," but as I indicated in my earlier response, I've given up all pretensions to literary writing.
KRL: Do you have a schedule for your writing or just write whenever you can?
Tom: When I know I'm going to be engaged in a long-term project like a novel, I establish a very rigid schedule and do my best to adhere to it as strictly as I can. Because I'm a slow and methodical writer, what that translates into is 6-8 hours of work a day, every day, till the project is finished, usually about a year later.
KRL: Do you outline? If not, do you have some other interesting way that you keep track of what's going on, or what needs to happen in your book when you are writing it?
Tom: I don't do any serious outlining, though I may use a rough, scratch outline to keep me on track for the chapter/segment I'm immediately involved with. For the totality of the book, though, the answer to this question is no. Starting out, I do have a very blurry vision of the ending, but during the actual process of writing, certain characters can literally take over and re-direct even the best laid plans.
KRL: Did you find it difficult to get published in the beginning?
Tom: Yes, it was extremely difficult, and part of that difficulty was of my own doing. Not until I began writing commercial fiction was I able to find a publisher.
KRL: Future writing goals?
Tom: Having revealed my superannuated condition elsewhere in this interview, I trust you can appreciate the fact that my principal nightly goal is to wake up the next morning still registering a pulse. If, however, I'm granted a bit more time before joining that choir invisible, I would like to produce three more novels (each of them currently dancing around in my head) and one collection of short stories.
KRL: Writing heroes?
Tom: I believe there is a great deal to be learned about structuring a story by studying the work of Joseph Conrad. Similarly with the fiction of Stephen Crane, particularly those two peerless stories, The Open Boat and The Blue Hotel. Finally, no writer of the 20th century did it better, in my opinion, than Flannery O'Connor. Is there ever a short story to combine comedy and horror as successfully as she does in A Good Man is Hard to Find.
KRL: What kind of research do you do?
Tom: Enough research to make all my settings faithful to the reality of place at the time setting of the story. Enough so a reader, if so inclined, could travel to any such place and recognize it instantly from the description in the novel. In the past what this typically required was my visiting and often spending considerable time in a venue less than familiar to me. The 1993 novel Shadow Counter, set in Las Vegas, is an apt example of this approach to research.
KRL: What do you read?
Tom: It would perhaps be easier for me to describe what I don't read. With a few exceptions I don't read any science fiction, or romance or horror (god knows, there's enough horror readily at hand in this sorry world), or what they're pleased to call literary fiction nowadays, or biographies of contemporary political figures whose lives and accomplishments are mostly as ephemeral as the whisper of the wind, or celebrity tell-alls, even less substantial, if that's possible. Which leaves me, I guess, with only the re-reading of what I deem to be the classics of fiction writing, to read them slowly now, like a writer more than a casual reader, this time to see how it was done, not to put them in some sort of academic box. The last one of these I read was Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night. I recommend it.
KRL: Favorite TV or movies?
Tom: I think I must like western movies best, since they're the ones that come first to mind. For example, some of the best writing the late Elmore Leonard did provided the basis for two outstanding westerns, Valdez is Coming (a classic revenge tale) and Hombre, featuring one of Leonard's manliest characters. I also enjoyed director Sam Peckinpah's twisted vision of the world in The Wild Bunch. In the early fifties there was a Gregory Peck film titled The Gunfighter which I thought was very interesting for its fatalistic world view and its close adherence to the Aristotelian unities in the telling of the story.
KRL: Any advice for aspiring or beginning writers?
Tom: Only the standard persistence advice, which has become something of a tired cliché. Like most clichés, though, there's an element of truth to it, and I offer as evidence my own checkered publishing history. To that sorry chronicle I would only add a cautionary note: Immediately disabuse yourself of the notion of the glamour of this sort of life. Understand that it's rather like a bank clerk's job, only your bank is open seven days a week.
KRL: Anything you would like to add?
Tom: Looking over what I've said so far, I recognize, to my immense chagrin, I've become the embodiment of that most tiresome of stereotypes, the pompous geriatric full of "in my day" wheeze. So enough said already.
KRL: What is something people would be surprised to know about you?
Tom: They might be surprised to learn that since age fifteen I've been a fitness addict, lifting weights in a grungy basement long before it was fashionable, and still hoisting them today, albeit with poundages more suitable to a nursing home setting.
KRL: How do you compete in an overcrowded market?
Tom: When writing a book I've found it's better not to think about what's ahead. Just focus on the work. Once the book is finished, I leave the marketing and promotion to the publisher. They're the experts, after all.

Love the name Norbett Bott! And, "Dark humor prevails in this tale of damaged souls who are flawed, yet desire something meaningful in their lives," sounds like a winning nugget to me.
Great interview, and don't worry, the 'in my day,' dictum applies to anyone over 21.

Chlorpyrifos is a extensively used organophosphate pesticide (OP). In this study, we closely looked into neurotoxicity of CPF and effect of vitamin B1, by checking the levels of cholinesterases, determining the activity of parameters of oxidative stress, inflammation and also level of apoptotic regulator. The study was performed on a total of 80 male Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica), (two control and 6 experimental groups, n = 10). Three group of quails were given by gavage chlorpyrifos (CPF) for 7 consecutive days at doses of 1.50 mg/kg b.w., 3.00 mg/kg b.w., and 6.00 mg/kg b.w. Another three groups were treated with 10 mg/kg b.w. of vitamin B1 i.m. 30 min after CPF application (in above mentioned doses). Our study have proved that all doses of CPF significantly inhibited cholinesterases in brain, while vitamin B1 reactivated them. CPF has led to an increase in the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA), and activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-tran...sferase (GST), while tiamin changed the activity of antioxidant enzymes: CAT, SOD, GST. CPF stimulated apoptosis by decreasing B-cell lymphoma (Bcl-2) in brain, while application of vitamin B1 caused an increase of this parameter. CPF amplified inflammatory effect by elevating levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX-2). Thiamine proved its anti-inflammatory property by decreasing the expression of iNOS and interleukin-1(IL-1) and interleukin-6(IL-6). This study is highly pertinent because there is little defense currently available to humans and animals to prevent toxic effects of pesticides.

This house was beautiful, we stayed here for a bachlorette party and had plenty of room. We even talked about bringing our families back next year to visit. Great layout and the scenery is beautiful, bring your bug spray!!
Beautiful! We enjoyed our stay. We recommend it . It is very close to Opryland, a must see place. There are many restaurants inside as well as outside . The house is cozy and the owner is very nice.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your review!
Easy travel to Nashville and surrounding area. Very responsive owner, the gas ran out on the grill and a refill was brought over in an hours time. House is very clean and nicely decorated. A great place to stay with friends and enjoy Nashville.
The place was beautiful, and owner very pleasant!
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone trying to get away and relax, but also not too far from down town. It is right on the river, and the master bed is so comfortable! Owner is very accommodating!


Do You Need a Good Rationalization?
It is easy for us to deceive ourselves. In The Big Chill , Jeff Goldblum's character Michael Gold observed, "I don't know anyone who could get through the day without two or three juicy rationalizations." How true. Rationalizations help us to justify thinking or behavior that we suspect is questionable in the first place. It blurs distinctions. Rationalizations are easy to see in others, but our own take a little more effort to label them for what they are.
To aid us in this endeavor, Ronald Howard and Clinton Korver, authors of Ethics for the Real World, offer these tests to see if our thinking stands up to a little scrutiny.
Other-Shoe Test. The age-old question: How would we feel if the shoe were on the other foot?
Front-Page Test. Would we think the same was if it were to be reported on the front page of the Wall Street Journal? Or the New York Times? Or USA Today? Or the paper our hometown friends read?
Biased-Language Test. Would we feel similarly if we replaced our value-laden language—euphemisms and cacophemisms—with value-neutral language?
Role-Model Test. Would we do the same if our action exemplified the behavior we would expect from our children?
Loved-One Test. Would we change our mind if the person on the receiving end of the ethical transgression were a loved one?
Mother's Test. And the simplist of all: what would our mother think?

San Francisco Giants: Midseason Top 30 Prospects (Nos. 10-1)
1. OF Heliot Ramos
Current Level: High-A
Acquired: Draft (2017, 1st Round)
Future-Value Grade: 50
This probably isn't the name you expected to see in the top spot, and that's understandable. I explained the specifics of why I ranked Ramos, Luciano, and Bart the way I did while breaking down my top 10 list in a Q&A piece with ATF site expert Joel Reuter last week.
Ramos was considered a volatile prospect when the San Francisco Giants selected him No. 19 overall in 2017. He had plus speed, power, and arm strength, but was very raw at the plate.
In his first taste of pro ball, he crushed at the Arizona Rookie League and vaulted himself onto leaguewide top 100 lists in the process.
However, his production dipped in his first taste of full-season ball in 2018. Many lowered their expectations for Ramos after he hit .245/.313/.396 at Single-A Augusta, and all the while I felt context was being ignored.
Augusta is an extremely pitcher-friendly environment in a pitcher-friendly league, to the point that those middling numbers actually represented above-average production with Ramos posting a 104 wRC+ on the year.
The San Francisco Giants confidence seemingly never wavered and Ramos was sent to High-A to start 2019. He's been more than up to the task, taking his game up a notch and showing some promising signs of development.
He's nearly doubled his walk rate, slightly decreased his strikeouts, and he's hitting for incredible power. As of a couple of weeks ago, Ramos was having unprecedented success for a teenager at High-A. He's slumped a bit since, but his production at that level relative to his age is still elite.
For Ramos, his rare combination of power and athleticism remains his calling card. Contact was the big concern at the onset of his pro career, but even last year when he was scuffling, his strikeout rate was still a palatable 25.4 percent.
Built like a strong safety, Ramos currently mans center field defensively. If he can stay there, his hit tool won't need to develop very much for him to have a Joc Pederson like profile. However, scouts believe as he bulks up he'll need to move to right field, where he'll be able to showcase his plus arm. His ceiling there fits the prime Yoenis Cespedes mold.
The key for Ramos will be maintaining his first-half success going into the dog days of summer. If he does that, he will likely earn a late-season promotion to Double-A and continue on the fast track.
Next. ATF's Midseason Top 30 Prospects (Nos. 20-11)
So there you have it, the top 30 prospects in the San Francisco Giants farm system at midseason. As the team embarks down the rebuilding path, these young players will be the key to completing the climb back to contention.


Redirection in Self-defense Situations: Combat Martial Arts.
Jason, I read somewhere that there are martial arts that teach redirection of opponents rather than hurting them. Do you teach that? And, is that possible?
Redirection in self-defense training has to be understood in context of the situation you find yourself. Firstly, if someone forces you to defend yourself and your loved ones, you must hurt them. Now, don't get me wrong, not every situation requires the same response. (That's why you won't see me making any videos on how to respond to a jab or a knife attack. One size doesn't fit every situation.) But, you must be prepared to do whatever you have to to protect yourself and those around you. If you aren't, you may find yourself on the losing end of a really bad situation.
John Doe (we'll call him for privacy purposes) was out with his friends when someone came up slandering him. This slanderer, while appearing alone and too drunk to make much of a fight any situation, continued to force the situation; until, he reached out and grabbed John's shirt-collar and pulled him backward, into a punch.
Multiple attackers cut off their victim's space.
John, quickly turned and redirected the next punch from his attacker, throwing his attacker into a nearby table. But, John's attacker wasn't done. He picked up a knife from the table (they were in a sports pub that served food), jumped to his feet, and began swinging the knife at John repeatedly. . . . To make matters worse, the attacker had friends who were standing nearby to cut off John's space to escape.
Because John did not take advantage of his redirection and forcefully stop his attacker, the attacker came back with a weapon to continue the fight in a more harmful manner.
Situations, like this one, are why everyone at the Yost Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy learns empty-hand and weapons use and defense training for combat or tactical fighting situations. Without honestly looking at these situations and preparing ourselves for the worse, we cannot fulfill our oblations to our family and community when/if the situation requires us to act. Me and my school will not short-change our students or lie to them. We will work to help those who want to help themselves be prepared for the worst, while hoping we never have to use it.
Are there other uses for redirection besides using things around you as a weapon?
Sure. You yourself. For example, for someone trying to defend against a person with a longer reach, redirection helps you reach your opponent immediately, to deal that blow (or series of blows) necessary to end the attack.
Redirection is a useful tool, but not in place of harming your opponent. You must end the attack where it started with that person or group of people who started the violence.
If this sounds like something you'd like to learn, contact us at sifuyost@gmail.com or (812) 229-4097. And learn why we say you'll Never Again™ (or Never™ if never been attacked) be a victim of someone else's stupidity.

'Ueber die Bestimmung des Inhaltes eines Polyëders', pp. 31-68 in Berichte der Königlichen Sächsischen Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Leipzig. Mathematisch-Physisiche Classe 17 (1865). [With:] 'Theorie der elementaren Verwandtschaft', pp. 18-57 in ibid. 15 (1863).
Leipzig: S. Hirzel, 1866 [- 1864].
First edition, journal issues in the original printed wrappers, of two of the most important papers in the early history of topology, including the introduction (and illustration) in the 1865 paper of the famous 'Möbius band' (or 'Möbius strip'). "August Möbius was one of the nineteenth century's most influential mathematicians and astronomers" (Fauvel et al.). "Möbius first described the 'Möbius band' in a paper presented to the Paris Academy in 1861 as an entry to a competition on the theme "Improve in some important point the geometric theory of polyhedra." Möbius' paper, written in bad French and containing many new ideas, was not understood by the jury, and like the other papers submitted to the competition, was not awarded the prize. The contents of the paper were published by Möbius in his articles 'Theorie der elementaren Verwandtschaft' (1863) and 'Ueber die Bestimmung des Inhaltes eines Polyëders' (1865)" (Kolmogorov & Yushkevich, p. 101). From an examination of Möbius's notebooks it is known that he discovered the Möbius strip in 1858; it was discovered independently in the same year by Johann Listing (who had coined the term 'topology' in 1847). On his discovery of a one-sided surface, Ian Stewart writes (Fauvel et al, p. 159): "It was typical that Möbius should notice a simple fact that anyone could have seen in the previous two thousand years – and typical that nobody did". Norman Biggs (ibid., p. 112) speculates that both Listing and Möbius may have been influenced in their discovery by the great Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855). Gauss, Listing and Möbius all worked for many years at Göttingen; Möbius studied under Gauss and Listing freely acknowledges that he was trying to develop the topological ideas of Gauss, who himself never published anything on the subject.
The Möbius band is a surface obtained by taking a strip of paper, giving one of the two ends a half twist, and then gluing together the two ends. Unlike the cylinder, obtained by joining the ends of the strip without a twist, the Möbius band has only one side. This is sometimes illustrated by saying that an ant walking around a Möbius band will return to its starting position but will be on the opposite side. This is famously illustrated in M. C. Escher's woodcut 'Möbius Strip II (Red Ants).' A further surprising property of the Möbius band is that, whereas a cylinder has two boundary curves, the Möbius band has only one: if you start at any point on the boundary and move along you will pass through every point on the boundary before returning back to your starting place. The 1865 paper contains the first published illustration of a Möbius band.
In his 1865 paper, "Möbius pointed out that 'having only one side,' while intuitively clear, is difficult to make precise, and proposed a related property that could be defined in complete rigour. This property was 'orientability'. A surface is 'orientable' if you can cover it with a network of triangles, with arrows circulating round each triangle, so that whenever two triangles have a common edge the arrows point in opposite directions. If you draw a network on a plane, for example, this is what happens. On a Möbius band, no such network exists" (Stewart). By gluing the circular edge of a disc to the single edge of his band, Möbius constructed the first example of a non-orientable 'closed' surface (i.e., one without boundary curves); this is now called a 'projective plane' and is the simplest of an infinite number of such surfaces. Möbius also showed that there is no well-defined concept of volume ('Inhalt') for a non-orientable closed surface.
Möbius's 1863 paper gave a classification of closed orientable surfaces. Such surfaces had been studied by Bernhard Riemann as part of his theory of complex functions (they are now called 'Riemann surfaces' in that context), and he had grasped intuitively that they are classified by the number of 'holes' (zero for a sphere, one for the surface of a doughnut, etc.), a concept that had been introduced by Simon L'Huilier in 1813, building on work of Leonhard Euler in 1752. Möbius gave the first rigorous proof of this important result. For this it was first necessary to agree when two such surfaces are to be considered 'equivalent'. Möbius introduced the idea of elementaren Verwandtschaften ('elementary relationships') between two surfaces, in which 'each point of one corresponds to a point of the other, in such a way that two infinitely neighbouring points always correspond to two infinitely neighbouring points' (such transformations are now called 'homeomorphisms'). Möbius showed that if two closed orientable surfaces have the same number of holes, there is an 'elementary relationship' from one to the other (i.e., they are 'equivalent'). His proof was remarkably modern. "He classified singular points of a 'height' function into 'elliptic' and 'hyperbolic' points and developed what from a 20th century point of view reads as a geometric presentation of the Morse theory of differentiable closed orientable surfaces" (James, p. 37). In his 1865 paper, Möbius showed that the classification theorem no longer holds for closed surfaces that are not necessarily orientable.
August Ferdinand Möbius (November 17, 1790 – September 26, 1868) was born in Schulpforta, Saxony-Inhalt, and was descended on his mother's side from religious reformer Martin Luther. He studied mathematics under Carl Friedrich Gauss and Johann Pfaff. His early work was devoted to astronomy, culminating in his Die Elemente der Mechanik des Himmels (1843), which gives a through treatment of celestial mechanics without the use of higher mathematics. His best-known book, Der barycentrysche Calcul (1827) is celebrated for the introduction of homogeneous coordinates into projective geometry. Many mathematical concepts are named after him, including the Möbius transformations, important in projective geometry, and the Möbius function and the Möbius inversion formula in number theory.
"August Möbius influenced mathematics on many levels. Specific ideas – his famous one-sided surface, his inversion formula, his number-theoretic function, his transformations of the complex plane, his geometrical nets – bear his name. But, in addition, and perhaps more importantly, Möbius was aware of the big ideas, the general principles, the major areas of research … What is Möbius's modern legacy? It is a large part of today's mathematical mainstream. The concepts that attracted his attention, and the methods that he helped to develop, play a central role in modern mathematics" (Ian Stewart in Fauvel et al, p. 120).

Stoke Newington pub blaze: 15 years on and Prince of Wales survivor is still searching for answers
Vicky Knight in hospital
Two children were killed in a pub fire 15 years ago which left two others with horrendous burns. One of the survivors Vicky Knight tells Emma Bartholomew about its impact and how starring in a film helped overcome at least some of the trauma
Vicky Knight on the film set.
Vicky Knight usually makes a trip to the site of the former Prince of Wales pub in Allen Road, Stoke Newington on July 27 every year.
But, ironically, this year a hospital appointment dealing with the scars of a fire there 15 years ago coincided with the anniversary – a cruel reminder of the horrific event that changed her life.
Vicky was just eight years old when one third of her body was burnt. Her uncle Kevin Knight and his wife Kate were running the pub at the time, and their son Charlie, five, died soon after he was rescued by firemen, along with Mrs Knight's son from a previous marriage, 10-year old Christopher.
Pub regular and plumber, Ronnie Springer, 45, also lost his life after braving the searing heat to run upstairs and save Miss Knight and her 11-year old cousin Denise.
Charlie and Christopher Knight.
He lowered the two girls to safety from a first floor window but was overcome by the heat and fumes and fell from the window on to a bench below, dying six weeks later. He was given a posthumous award for bravery.
Joe Knight, Charlie's brother, survived but still needs treatment for burns.
The mother of the dead boys, Kate Knight, was charged with murder but acquitted after a two week trial at the Old Bailey.
But for Vicky and her mother Kim, the case is not closed. Fifteen years on they desperately want whoever committed the crime to be brought to justice.
Ronnie Springer who died in the fire.
"Someone tried to ruin my life," said Vicky. "Why hasn't anything been done about it? There's been no justice."
Kim, whose brother Kevin and his wife Kate had taken over running the pub after their father died. added: "It is 15 years since it happened, and we are hoping to jog people's memories and consciences, and some more evidence might come to light."
Vicky was staying at the pub at the time, and Kim remembers the phone call from her brother at 6.30am on the day of the fire.
"They asked me how to spell Vicky's surname, and said they needed to give it to the hospital. My brother said: 'It's alright we've had a bit of a fire'.
"I had to get up to the Homerton, and as I walked in my brother collapsed as he was told his eldest son Christoper had died. Charlie died the next day."
"I thought it was electrical. It wasn't until a few weeks in that the police said to us that it's now a murder case and it was deliberate. It was devastating, obviously. It completely changed everybody's life. Vicky came out of here one day and came back a completely different child."
Instead of the trip to the pub where flats now stand, Vicky set off balloons in her garden at home to mark the 15 year anniversary.
She has suffered from depression because of the fire, but her life has changed since she posted a five minute video about the fire on YouTube one night four years ago.
"I woke up the net day and my Facebook was going mental. I had people from all over the world messaging me, with messages of support."
On the back of this, a casting agent asked her if she wanted to be in a film about an acid attack victim's struggle.
Despite having no prior acting experience, Vicky took on the challenge and the lead role. Dirty God will be released in September.
"I haven't been involved in an acid attack, but every burns victim is treated the same," she said. "It brought it all back. It was like reliving another story of what happened to me. All the feelings I felt as a kid, I felt them now. But it was quite relieving in a way. I could get everything out that I couldn't over the years, and couldn't understand."
One scene in particular brought back memories, when the mother was explaining what the doctors had said.
"As a child I couldn't understand, but as an adult it was like: 'S*** this is real'," she said.
Being in the film was like a "whole new world" for her.
"My director was over the moon with my acting. They were pretty shocked, as I'd never done it before.
"Before I did the film I was depressed and I didn't' go out anywhere, I didn't go to work. Nothing. Over the past months I feel so much better in myself. It's like a weight shifted off my shoulders. It's a confidence thing being in front of the cameras, and the whole production was so supportive.
"If I started crying that was it, I'd have a 10 minute break to calm down."
Vicky hopes the film will change other people's lives as well her own.

We caught up with in-form opener Jordan 'Juggernaut' Silk before our Tigers departed for their Shield decider up in Brisbane against those high-flying Queensland Bulls.
As someone that's been there before in a Shield Final, what's the message been to the group?
To be honest we haven't spoken a lot about it. Today (Tuesday) is our first real training day since the win over Victoria.
But the message will be pretty similar I think leading into this game – it's another game of cricket but with an extra day to play in it.
Obviously it's a big occasion playing in a Shield Final and we're all really excited to be a part of it, and just really looking forward to the week and treating it no differently to how we've treated our other 10 games this season so far.
What are your memories of your last Shield Final?
A blur really for me. I came in with a couple of games left in the season. You know we had a really good team back then with the likes of Ponting and Bailey, Butterworth, Hilfenhaus.
It was a completely different looking side that faced Queensland last time around. And it's a completely different looking side for them too. So it shapes to be a really exciting game of cricket I reckon.
Can you tell us more about your journey from winning a Shield Final early on, then having a few pretty lean years when you had to really battle, and now storming back into the Final again. Does that really steel your focus having gone through that pain?
Yeah it does – in a way it's sort of surprising to be back in this position so quickly but it's full credit to everyone involved here at Cricket Tas.
But it certainly feels different this time around. Like I said last time was such a blur. I do have good memories of it, but I kind of felt like I was riding on the coat tails of everyone else really in that team.
This time around it feels really well earned I think through a lot of hard work that the squad's put in over the past 12 months with the changes that have been made.
Again it's full testament to everyone involved at Cricket Tas from the top to the bottom.
With those changes, your new Head Coach Adam Griffith mentioned a 3-5 Year Plan to reach this point and being surprised to reach the Shield Final so quickly. So you agree with that sentiment?
Yeah I think so but we've also – not just through coaching staff – we've also had a few players who've come in and made a really big impact straightaway.
I think Matthew Wade's back half of the year has been enormous for us and he shapes to be a big player for us.
He's played in a lot of these Shield Finals before and we'll certainly lean on him for that extra bit of experience and guidance.
Tom Rogers is another player who's come in and just had an unbelievable season, so there's been a couple of personnel changes.
But apart from that, it's a pretty similar group to the one that we've had in the past and we've played a lot of cricket together now, albeit through some really tough times.
But that's certainly galvanized the group and now we're super excited to be back in this position.
It's no surprise through the way we've played through this back half of the year stringing together some really good games of cricket.
You mentioned Matthew Wade – what's his chirpiness like on-field during the game, and is it important heading into a Final?
Yeah it is important – it's just the way he goes about it too. It's from a clever sort of angle that gives us a really good presence on the field.
And when you're on top in a game you can really jump on the back of that sort of stuff. So it's not just his impact through his presence on the field but also his batting in the last five or six weeks that has really set some games up for us. So looking forward to one more week of that sort of stuff from him.
Queensland have beaten Tasmania both times during this regular season, so what have you taken from those losses for this time around?
I wasn't there in the second game but it was a bit of bad luck I think maybe up at the Gabba where we had a few bowlers go down during that game.
Obviously we played them early in the season down here and it wasn't a fruitful game for us and they got one on top.
But you know, looking down the track, we're a different sort of team now with getting the likes of Jackson Bird back fully fit and people like Wadey in form.
And it shapes to be a completely different task up at AB Field where we're not really sure what conditions will be like.
I think winning is a habit and both teams have made that a habit in recent times so should be an exciting week.
Do you expect Queensland to come out and really try to win the game or be content to play for the draw which is all they actually need?
I think they play to win and if you look over their last couple of games they've set up some sort of run chases for other teams in the last few weeks.
I think that's probably the way they're coached as well. So I'd expect no different really and it's an extra day of cricket too to be fair as well and these Dukes balls have provided a lot of results over the last five weeks.
So I'd expect both teams to be pushing for the win, but if they were in a position where they could defend it, then they may just choose to go down that path. Certainly for us there's no choice.
Does the Dukes ball bring Tasmania more into the game as you actually need to force the win?
Yes it does which is exciting because the ball does keep the bowlers in it for much longer. We've spoken about it at times here at Bellerive when the middle session has almost been the hardest time to bat.
Because with the new ball you are waiting for that lacquer to come off, and once it comes off, the ball actually starts to swing a lot more consistently than what the new ball does.
So that will always keep us in the game and with our five quicks that we've got at the moment, who are all bowling well, it just sets up to be really good for us.
This team that we've had has won the last two games pretty well so I'd be surprised if there's any changes. But that's in Griff's and Bails' hands.


C-1 (Submarine No. 9) was launched 4 October 1906 as Octopus by Fore River Shipbuilding Co., Quincy, Mass., under a subcontract from Electric Boat Company; sponsored by Miss F. Webster; and commissioned 30 June 1908, Lieutenant C. E. Courtney in command. She was renamed C-1 on 17 November 1911.
Assigned to the 2nd Submarine Flotilla, Octopus operated out of Newport, R.I., and New York until 9 October 1908. Tests and experiments with both submarine design and the tactical use of her type continued from Norfolk, Va., and Newport until she was placed in reserve at Charleston, S.C., 14 February 1910.
Recommissioned 15 April 1910, the submarine conducted experiments and served as training vessel at Newport until 10 May 1913. C-1 was reassigned to 1st Submarine Group, Torpedo Flotilla, Atlantic Fleet, and from 29 May to 7 December 1913, operated out of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. She served in Panamanian waters in training, and later, on patrol during World War I, until 4 August 1919 when she was decommissioned at Coco Solo, C.Z. Here she was sold 13 April 1920.


For a recent project, I needed to develop a calendar with a weekly view that would display events based on 3 different custom post types.
Since the website required a very custom setup, I didn't want to use an event plugin, since it would have limited the amount of customization that the client needed.
So once the design was ready, the tricky part kicked in: developing a light & dynamic calendar, in a weekly view, with current day & events highlighted, that would show different types of events happening each day.
The resulting HTML & PHP, already integrated with some custom WordPress queries (that you will need to adjust to your own needs), is in this Gist.
You will notice the use of WordPress transients, this is to cache the queries as much as possible to improve performance and page load.
The calendar can scroll by month and by week obviously, on click of a certain day it also highlights it and adds a dot inside the circles, which represent all the different types of event, showing at the bottom their title.
Now, the original version was a gold design, so here is the CSS for it.
Now that you have your sweet weekly calendar, you might also be interested in creating a handy .ics calendar file, for all your events.
