Africans' Ability To Digest Milk Co-Evolved With Livestock Domestication
Lactose tolerance spread throughout Africa along human pastoral migration routes, say scientists

For a baby, digesting milk is a piece of cake. But the same can't be said of adults. Infants have the ability to digest milk's essential sugar, lactose, thanks to an enzyme called lactase, which breaks it up into two smaller sugars, glucose and galactose. As we get older, many people stop producing lactase and lose this ability. Others don't.
Scientists have been trying to decipher the how, the when, and the why of lactose tolerance in humans for a while. People with lactose tolerance (or lactase persistence, in scientific speak) tend to come from northern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The general hypothesis: in some people, mutations naturally arose nearby the gene for lactase and kept production of the enzyme going into adulthood, and because of something going on in the environment, adults with lactase had a survival advantage over the lactose intolerant. "Whatever it was, it was really, really beneficial because it rapidly spread," explains Sarah Tishkoff, a geneticist at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
Scientists disagree over what drove the adaptation in different regions, but they have identified a handful of mutations that may be linked to lactose tolerance. It's hard to tell, though, which mutations are the most important and how much that varies from one region to another.
Tishkoff and her colleagues published a new study today in the American Journal of Human Genetics—the largest study of lactose tolerance across Africa today—that takes another step in identifying the most relevant mutations, and hints at an evolutionary cause of them. The work confirmed that previously identified genetic mutations are indeed linked to lactase persistence in Africans. By demonstrating that these genes show up in disproportionately high frequencies in African pastoral groups, the findings also put genetic data behind the idea that the domestication of animals is inextricably linked to the spread of lactose tolerance.
In 2007, Tishkoff's lab found three mutations that roughly correlated with lactase persistence in smaller groups of east Africans, and other groups have found other mutations associated with lactase persistence in select African populations, such as communities in Ethiopia. But, within these studies, "there are people who can digest milk, who don't have these [mutations]," says Tishkoff, "So, we thought there might be something else out there."
In their new work, the researchers wanted to use a wider lens to look at lactase persistence. The team took blood samples and sequenced DNA from 819 Africans (representing 63 different populations) and 154 non-Africans (representing nine populations in Europe, the Middle East and Central and East Asia). They focused on three regions of the human genome near the lactase gene: a promoter region (which turns the gene on or off, causing lactase production to occur) and two enhancer regions (involved in keeping the gene on or increasing production of lactase). When they sequenced these regions, they found five mutations known to be associated with lactase persistence, and measured their frequencies across all of the different populations.

To match the genetic data with lactose tolerance, they needed to test for the condition in the field, including remote areas across Africa. They gave participants sweet lactose powder equivalent to one to two liters of milk. "It kind of tastes like orange Cool-Aid," says Tishkoff.
Then, using a portable diabetic testing kit, researchers measured glucose blood levels every 20 minutes over the course of an hour. An increase in blood glucose meant the person's body was breaking down lactose. "Based on that we can categorize people as tolerant, partially tolerant, or intolerant," says Alessia Ranciaro, a research scientist in Tishkoff's lab who conducted most of the field work.
Comparing the genetic data to field data, they confirmed the connection between the three enhancer region mutations they previously discovered and lactase persistence. Two other mutations, one in the promoter and one in an enhancer region, were also associated with lactase persistence, but those are less common and less clear cut in their correlation with the trait.
To get a sense of where these mutations might have originated geographically, they looked at mutation patterns (called haplotypes) on the chromosomes of participants where the lactase genes were located. Different haplotypes are known to have historically originated in different geographic regions, so by looking at the correlation between different haplotypes in Africa today and the presence or absence of mutations in the lactase gene, the researchers were able to retrace the geographic spread of these mutations across Africa.
The data suggest that the spread of the lactase mutations coincided with the spread of people and livestock domestication across Africa. The evolutionary history of the mutations lines up with known migration patterns and archaeological evidence for the beginnings of livestock domestication, the authors found. In particular, a mutation that spread from the Middle East to northern Africa is about 5,000 to 12,300 years old, putting it at about the same age as cattle domestication in Northern Africa and the Middle East, which occurred around 10,000 years ago. Another variant, prevalent on the Arabian Peninsula, corresponds in age to archaeological evidence of camel domestication in that region around 5,000 years ago.
"When those groups migrate into other regions, they're bringing that mutation with them, and if they intermarry with the local group, whoever they run into, it's beneficial in them too, so it's also going to increase in frequency," says Tishkoff.
In another example, a specific mutation prevalent in Tanzania, Kenya, and South Africa, is believed to be only 2,700 to 6,800 years old, based on previous studies. That coincides with the timing of pastoralist migrations down from northern Africa to east Africa. How it showed up in southern Africa is a little more complicated, but it may have something to do with the spread of the Bantu people in east Africa and their intermixing with local pastoralists as they moved south.
It's not totally surprising that genetic variants which cause the lactase persistence trait would be associated with pastoralism. In fact, scientists have known of the association of the trait for a long time, notes geneticist Dallas Swallow of University College London. The new study backs up a lot of previous work, including her own. But, "the correlation with lifestyle [is] far from absolute," she says.
Ranciaro and Tishkoff acknowledge that their study doesn't answer all the questions surrounding lactase persistence in Africa. Not having cattle does not necessarily mean a population can't digest milk or vice versa. Additionally, it seems that there are other as-yet unidentified mutations involved in lactase production. For example, some members of the hunter-gatherer Hadza people in Tanzania don't have genetic traces of lactase persistence, but it appears that some can digest milk without a problem.
Lactase can also play a role in breaking down proteins in plants, so that could explain why some groups that don't have cattle might still produce lactase as adults. Alternatively, some researchers have hypothesized that gut bacteria might be helping some digest milk when they lack the mutation.
What does this all mean for the average milk drinker? If you're of African descent, it explains the evolutionary journey behind your lactase-related mutations pretty well. In the arid environments of Africa, milk is a key source of liquid when water is scarce, so the evolutionary advantage of lactase persistence is clear.
But if you're of European descent—another region with a tradition of livestock domestication and common lactase persistence—the story remains a mystery. Scientists have proposed various theories for the evolutionary pressures that propelled lactase persistence across Europe, but the hard genetic evidence still needs to be discovered.

ACLU and Lambda Legal Condemn 'Fake' Repeal of HB 2
RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina General Assembly today passed a bill that does not repeal the discriminatory HB 2 law. Instead, it keeps in place the most harmful parts of the law.
The American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina is delivering a letter to Gov. Roy Cooper urging him to veto the measure — although Cooper has voiced his support for the proposal and is expected to sign it into law.
The new bill bars any protections for transgender people using restrooms or other facilities in schools or other state or local government buildings. This means schools, court houses, city halls, government agencies, and more cannot allow transgender people to use the right restroom.
It also prevents cities from passing any protections for employment discrimination or discrimination by places of public accommodation — for LGBT people or anyone — until 2020.
"This is not a repeal of HB 2. Instead, they're reinforcing the worst aspects of the law," said James Esseks, director of the ACLU LGBT Project. "North Carolina lawmakers should be ashamed of this backroom deal that continues to play politics with the lives of LGBT North Carolinians."
The ACLU, ACLU of North Carolina, and Lambda Legal will continue to defend right of transgender people to use restrooms and changing facilities consistent with their gender identity, as federal law requires. The lawsuit, which includes claims for the damages inflicted by H.B. 2, will continue, and the legal team will seek to amend the lawsuit to challenge H.B. 142 as well.
H.B. 2, which was introduced and signed into law in just 12 hours and without public input and has faced widespread opposition from the general public, banned many transgender people from restrooms and other public facilities matching their gender and prohibits local municipalities from extending nondiscrimination protections to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people.
"Lawmakers replaced a bad bill with another bad bill. This fake repeal is an attempt to silence LGBT people," said Simone Bell, southern regional director at Lambda Legal. "It is shameful to stamp a start date on equality. We demand a full, clean repeal, and that includes comprehensive non-discrimination protections. Do not leave our community unprotected in the name of 'compromise.' We urge the governor to veto this bill and we encourage the NCAA to stay on the right side on history."
Sarah Gillooly, policy director of the ACLU of North Carolina, said, "The governor and General Assembly may be turning their backs on LGBT North Carolinians today, but we are not. We will continue to fight in court for transgender people to access the restrooms that correspond to their gender identity and for equal protection for the entire LGBT community in North Carolina."

How can i sort them according their li id tag ?
Modified : instead of id, if i put title how can i sort them according title ?

A: id should be unique , so use custom data-* attribute . And you can use native javascript sort() for sorting.

$('.selectable li').sort(function(a, b) {
// get list items
  return $(a).data('id') - $(b).data('id');
  // compare values
}).appendTo('.selectable');

Bumstead votes to restore Whitmer vetoes
LANSING, Mich. — Senate Appropriations Committee Vice Chair Jon Bumstead on Wednesday joined his colleagues in voting to restore several of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's vetoes — many of which negatively impacted communities across the 34th Senate District.
"The action taken by the Legislature today gives the governor an opportunity to restore crucial funding that her October vetoes removed from schools and programs throughout my district and from communities throughout the state," said Bumstead, R-Newaygo. "Schools have started without state payments, sheriff's departments are preparing for layoffs, and foster programs face closing their doors.
"I understand we have our differences, but many of the things she vetoed were common-ground, agreeable issues. The legislation passed today gives her an opportunity to correct the unfortunate situation we currently find ourselves in."
Senate Bills 376 and 377 would restore a total of $573.5 million of the governor's vetoed funding and administrative funding transfers. The legislation largely focuses on restoring funding to the most critical state services.
The bills would restore funding to treat Alzheimer's, autism, and opioid addiction. Cuts to local police departments and rural and critical care hospitals would also be restored and charter and rural schools would receive the payments they were expecting.
"The governor cut $35 million from schools in Muskegon County and across the state — a move that drastically compromised education in Michigan," Bumstead said. "Muskegon Heights and other public charter schools would see their foundation allowance increase restored under the Senate's plan."
Bumstead said he was admittedly frustrated at having to revisit these issues a third time, but there was too much at stake to do nothing.
"We sent the governor a responsible budget in the spring, so we could get it done early like we've done for nearly a decade. We revisited the budget a second time to avoid a government shutdown. We're now facing the end of 2019 and we're still at the table trying to restore funding that has left schools, local governments, college students and other residents in limbo," Bumstead said. "While this does not restore all of the governor's vetoes and transfers, it is a significant step in the right direction. I hope she joins us in doing what's best for Michigan."
The Senate also approved measures that would limit state administrative board transfers and set in statute a target deadline of July 1 for the Legislature to present a budget to the governor.
All four bills now head to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Name: Gor (a series of books)
Abbreviation(s):
Date(s): 1966 was the first book
Medium: print
External Links: Gor at Wikipedia
1 Fandom: Gorean Subculture
2 Fanworks Inspired by "Gor"
3 Fandom Influences and Mentions
Gor is the setting for an extended series of sword and planet novels by author and philosophy professor John Norman.
The sexual philosophies and content are widely mocked.
an ad printed in the Star Trek Lives! convention program book
DAW Books, which published the Gor series from the 8th volume (Hunters of Gor) through the 25th volume (Magicians of Gor), subsequently decided to cease publication of the books, citing low sales. In 1996, the author cited the reason as he was on a blacklist of authors disliked by feminists.
Fandom: Gorean Subculture
See Gorean subculture on Wikipedia.
Gorean subculture developed independent of Norman's involvement, particularly starting as a fan network after the Gor books went out of print in the late 1980s.[1] It does not have a uniform following but encompasses different groups of varying views and practices.
Gorean subculture particularly focuses on the master-slave dynamic in sexual relationships and associated forms of female submission as portrayed in the novels. Therefore, although they are estimated to compose less than 5% of the total female population on Gor,[2] training and keeping a female slave (often known as a kajira) is central to Gorean subculture. Formal slave training, slave positions and commands, as well as slave attire and beautification are practices central in Gorean subculture.
Literalists, otherwise known as lifestylers, incorporate elements from the Gorean culture and gender roles in their daily lives[3] and some adherents of this approach were prosecuted for leading coercive sex cults.[4] As opposed to literalists, the role players, divided into real-life sexual roleplayers (engaged or not engaged in BDSM practices) and online role-playing gamers (present particularly in Second Life)[5] are not necessarily committed to Gorean philosophy and ideals.
Fanworks Inspired by "Gor"
Free Amazons of Ghor (a Darkover skit): "[It was] a musical comedy written in 1979 by Randall Garrett, a science fiction writer and close friend of MZB, and Vicki Ann Heyrdon, his wife, also a writer. At the time, MZB and John Norman were DAW's two best-selling authors, so the premise of the play is that their fictionalized alter egos, Ms. Bee and Norman Gorman, agree to collaborate on a book, to 'rope in both your fans.' "Both our fans? Are you implying that we have only one fan each?" Randall wrote the words, and Vicki wrote the music. It was performed at one of the early Darkover Grand Council Meetings on the east coast as well was several Fantasy Worlds Festivals in California." [6]
"CI5 Agent of Gor," (1990 Pros story printed in Short Circuit #3 by Susan Douglass
HOUSEPLANTS OF GOR - a parody story about houseplants submitting to being watered rather than women to sex
Fandom Influences and Mentions
A depressing thing was the usual overload of sex-object-type costumes on women in the costume show, There were at least two "rich" spoiled heiresses as captives in Gor, very little clad and in chains, which I didn't find entirely offset by the rather funny skit called "Buckets of Gore". In addition there was an extremely vicious and sadistic presentation by two people in "Planet of the Apes-type ape costumes. [7]
A word of concern - In SHATTERED CHAIN and FORBIDDEN TOWER, one of the main themes has to do with sex in some way. Now don't get me wrong, these novels are great, but another writer whose writings I was following went too far and became obsessed with sex and his work suffered greatly: Norman's "Gor" novels. My concern is that the Darkover novels don't follow the same down hill path. [8]
"Gorean Turnabout" was a good story, despite how degrading and physically nauseating the Gor concept is. [9]
[1979]: In this new rewrite [of the pro novel "Two to Conquer"], at least the characters are real people...though some of them are very dislikable people; Pat Matthews referred to Bard di Asturien as probably the most hateful hero outside the GOR novels. I suspect that's why the book has been going so slowly; I don't like my hero enough to enjoy spending time with him! [10]
[1979]: Do not be deceived by male Treklit. Hundreds of men read the Gor, Conan, Louis L'amour series. These are the male equivalent of the "warm, dumb, soppy, stuff". I do not know if it's nature or nurture but I've noticed men seem to read/write heroic fantasy and women are drawn to romance. I don't mind good, logical, well written Trek romance but much is on par with the worst Harlequin. [11]
I wanted to drop a line to say how much I enjoyed Irma Hogg's brilliant satire "Doctor Who and Mickey Mouse Go to Gor." When I first saw the title, I expected something really terrible -- either a ghastly attempt at humor or poor pretentious writing that would take itself seriously. To my surprise, the story is magnificent. I especially loved the seduction scene between the Doctor and Minnie in the slave girl's tent. [12]
[1984]: [This art] has power, life and grace and this is despite the fact that I don't normally like types with brawny supermacho type standing over slender female crouched at his feet *shades of Gor! [13]
[1989]: Too many Kirk-enslaved stories show Kirk acquiescing too readily to slavery. Some of the A/U Kirk-enslaved stories could be entitled STARSHIP CAPTAINS OF GOR: Spock is the master and he's so SEXY, even when he is raping and beating the hell out of Kirk — and of course Kirk learns he really loves it. [14]
[1990]: The only type of story which will get an almost automatic rejection would " be a "Gor" type story where one of the partners is raped by the other and learns to fall madly in love with him (I'm not too worried about receiving stories like this in B/D fandom as I am in some other fandoms). [15]
[1994]: [The Blake's 7 fic Of Mice and Men is the] weirdest damn thing I've read in awhile. I agree it doesn't really qualify as slash; instead, it reads like a rather typical mainstream porn book (or fantasy porn book---can you say "Gor"?) with the names of the characters changed to those of B7 folk. It can be fascinating, in a morbid kinda way, to flip through, but it didn't work for me at all." [16]
My earliest h/c fantasies were based on Grimm's and Andersen's fairy tales. And at age 5-8 I played out such fantasies with girlfriends. (You know, stories of the kind beautiful-princess-gets-kidnapped-by-villains-and-gets-tied-up-and-tortured... we never hurt each other, the 'torture' was usually just tickling or pretended whipping). We had no conscious idea that there were any underlying sexual implications, but we never wanted to be watched by grown-ups when playing this... (quoted anonymously)
I too, spent a lot of puberty time wrestling with my girlfriends using similar scenarios. I also ran into THE GOR SERIES in my local less-than-300 book library at the same time, and really became obsessed with slavery and bondage scenarios. Once I realized they talked about *SEX* too, boy was I embarrassed... (quoted anonymously)
I discovered John Norman's Gor series when I was eleven or twelve, and I read them avidly throughout my teens, even after he began to emphasize the sex ;-), which was about the same time he changed publishers (Ballantine to Daw). The attitudes expressed by Norman's protagonists are decidedly unPC; a lot of people object to these books for the way women are treated. The most recent Gor book was published two or three years ago now. It's my understanding that Norman had a falling out with Daw, so I may never find out what happens to Tarl Cabot (who has been an outlaw for the past several books with the Priest Kings out to kill him for some as yet unrevealed reason) and Gor (which is still in danger of attack by the Kurii). (Rachael Sabotini)
LOCUS did a poll of its readers not too long ago and John Norman and his Gor books topped the 'guilty pleasures' lists for both author and series. And as long as everbody else is admitting to it, I will 'fess up to having read them happily. I think his world is well thought out in many parts - his biggest flaw for me is that he writes as though his books were serialised, and repeats things at the beginning of every chapter. (quoted anonymously) [17]
The supposed the chain of conclusion is somewhat like this: strong physical reaction to pain => high sensitivity => strong physical reaction to sexual pleasures (and that's what we're really after, no?) Ah! So that's why all the slaves were whipped on the "Auction Block of Gor." Now I know what to call this class of stories in fanfic, to go along
with my 'shopping for curtains' stories' :) [18]
[1999]: L'histoire d'Obi -- by Lilith Sedai. You almost need to be a fan of the Gor novels for this one to give you the full impact, the whole idea of 'pleasure slaves' is integral to tha[t] universe as it is to this one but Lilith does it stunningly well ...[19]
[2013]: Ask yourself this: Has there ever been a story about a guy who befriends a dragon, finds a beautiful woman, gets laid and saves the world? Is HE instantly labeled a "Gary Stu"??? No. How about "Tarnsman of Gor"? I read that one in high school too. As a female, it messed me up. Or how about ANY Conan the Barbarian book? [20]
[2015]: We start with the really awful cover [of the Kirk/Spock print zine Charisma #1]. One of the 'logic never happened!!' Vulcans of Gor AU things, with a bare-chest nipple-pastie armor deal. If I were an archeologist, I'd conclude that in the past, people never experienced embarrassment. Spock's expression indicates he's been smacked in the face with something heavy moments before. The art is not great, but in and of itself not *terrible* – I'm more annoyed by the immense popularity of Vulcans of Gor. [21]

So after watching some of the popular YouTube videos on solar air heaters I ordered a 10 watt solar panel off amazon to pair with a 120mm 12vdc .25amp computer fan for my solar air heater project.. In the videos they connect directly from fan to panel and it spins with ease. Of course my luck my fan spins very nicely when in the full summer sun but the slightest cloud and it comes to a complete stop. I can only image in winter months it would hardly work at all so now looking at what I really need to cost effectively make this solar air heater fan work where the fan will spin continuously in overcast winter weather. I'm guessing I need a charge controller but what kinda battery would be right for this? A used lawn/motorcycle battery? Lithium battery pack? Maybe a fan that requires less power? Any input greatly appreciated!

requirement. Batteries will only delay the failure, but make it much more expensive.
2000 ufd at 20V, observing polarity as a test. A scope will tell the story.
power even under some clouding. If voltage rises too high in best sun, you might need a regulator.
I'd suggest a 50w panel, if you can borrow one to try. Cloudy/overcast don't expect more than 10% of nameplate output. But in cloudy conditions, you won't have much hot air to move either.

Through his many good qualities he inspired millions. In particular, his immense personal sacrifice for the sake of good causes, especially the fighting of injustice and oppression, his commitment to reconciliation and his forgiving spirit are among those reasons. Indeed, his ideals of a just society and a sense of duty to humanity are values to be emulated.
Emmanuel Mbennah, TWR's International Director for Africa, had this to say: "I came to South Africa from my home country Tanzania with my family as a doctoral student in March 1996, almost exactly two years since Mr Mandela's election as President of South Africa. Since then I have seen an increasing sense of harmony among South Africans across the colour spectrum. I believe it is God who used Mr Mandela immensely and enabled him to forgive and to focus his particular attention on reconciliation and the building of national unity of the hither-to deeply divided South African society".
TWR's global family shares the loss of the people of South Africa in a particular way as the TWR Africa Regional Office is based in South Africa since the early 1990s as well as our national partner, TWR South Africa.
As South Africans and the rest of the world go through this profound sense of loss, it is important to reflect on how we can cherish the late Mandela's wonderful values. Unfortunately, there is still much injustice and much suffering across Africa, and there are still wars and conflicts, human trafficking, and child abuse. Through people like Mr Mandela, God has shown us that we all have something significant that we give towards making the society a better place for children, women, those in poverty, and those without eternal hope. Even an ordinary person can achieve extraordinary things, if there is vision, willingness and sacrificial commitment. This life is but only a passage to a life to come for which we are all challenged as well as invited to prepare. For us then the greatest lesson we learn from the departure of our beloved, Madiba, is that we make considered decisions on how we spend this relatively short life and the significance of what we will be remembered for.
TWR's ministry in South Africa includes broadcasting programmes in Zulu, Afrikaans, Germany, and English, on medium wave and shortwave from Swaziland and Johannesburg and on an audio channel on DStv. Thus, TWR gives access to the sound Biblical teaching, and programmes on health and leadership, among others, to potentially millions of South Africans. Across Africa, TWR's broadcasts in more than 70 languages reach millions of children, youth, women and leaders, focussing on peace and reconciliation, health, the environment, leadership development, and presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provision Biblical teachings for holistic transformation.
By the way the founder of TWR, the late Dr Paul Freed, was born in the same year as Mr Mandela.

"Great past-paced read!" Ordered a copy of this magazine and was most impressed by the quality of the writing. Adam Graham is a very talented writer. I liked it so much that I ordered an additional copy to give away as a prize! In "Crossroads," we visit A.L. Snyder as he starts his journey with the Imperial Army. This installment starts with a surprising and perhaps alarming scene and continues at a fast-pace. Note: we first met A.L. Snyder in Adam Gram's short story: "Chosen of God" in the anthology Light at the Edge of Darkness (TWCP: 2007). "The Devil's Fool" is a delightful example of Graham's great sense of humor. Watching on as these superheroes from around the world jockey for position is a real treat. I can't wait to read what happens next in the 2nd installment of The Order of the Sword.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music is a studio album by American singer and pianist Ray Charles. It was recorded in February 1962 at Capitol Studios in New York City and United Western Recorders in Hollywood, and released in April of that year by ABC-Paramount Records.

The album departed further stylistically from the rhythm and blues music Charles had recorded for Atlantic Records in the 1950s. It featured country, folk, and Western music standards reworked by Charles in popular song forms of the time, including R&B, pop, and jazz. Charles produced the album with Sid Feller, who helped the singer select songs to record, and performed alongside saxophonist Hank Crawford, a string section conducted by Marty Paich, and a big band arranged by Gil Fuller and Gerald Wilson.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music was an immediate critical and commercial success. The album and its four hit singles brought Charles greater mainstream notice and recognition in the pop market, as well as airplay on both R&B and country radio stations. The album and its lead single, "I Can't Stop Loving You", were both certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1962, as each record had sold at least 500,000 copies in the United States.

The album's integration of soul and country challenged racial barriers in popular music at the height of the Civil Rights Movement. In the process of recording the album, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to exercise complete artistic control over his own recording career. In retrospect, it has been considered by critics as his best studio record and a landmark recording in American music. According to Robert Christgau, the album "transfigured pop, prefigured soul, and defined modern country & western music." It has been called one of the greatest albums of all time by publications such as Rolling Stone and Time.

Background
After his Atlantic Records contract ended, Ray Charles signed with ABC-Paramount Records in November 1959, obtaining a much more generous contract than other artists had at the time. Following his commercial and pop crossover breakthrough with the hit single "What'd I Say" earlier that year, ABC offered Charles a $50,000 annual advance, higher royalties than previously offered and eventual ownership of his masters—a very valuable and lucrative deal at the time. Composed by Charles himself, the single furthered Charles's mainstream appeal, while becoming a Top 10 pop hit and selling a million copies in the United States, despite the ban placed on the record by some radio stations, in response to the song's sexually-suggestive lyrics. However, by the time of the release of the instrumental jazz LP Genius + Soul = Jazz (1960) for ABC's subsidiary label Impulse!, Charles had virtually given up on writing original material and had begun to follow his eclectic impulses as an interpreter.

Following his blues fusion with gospel and jazz influences on his earlier Atlantic material, which had brought him much fame and controversy, Charles sought to experiment with country music. As noted by himself in the liner notes for What'd I Say (1959), Charles was influenced by the genre in his youth, stating that he "used to play piano in a hillbilly band" and that he believed that he "could do a good job with the right hillbilly song today." At Atlantic, he attempted to incorporate this style and influence with his cover of country singer Hank Snow's "I'm Movin' On". Charles later said about the song, "When I heard Hank Snow sing 'Moving On', I loved it. And the lyrics. Keep in mind, I'm a singer, so I like lyrics. Those lyrics are great, so that's what made me want to do it." The "I'm Movin' On" sessions were his last for Atlantic.

Charles's recording of his acclaimed studio effort The Genius of Ray Charles (1959) brought him closer to expressing his jazz and pop crossover ambitions. Described by one music critic as "the most important of his albums for Atlantic", the record was the first to introduce Charles's musical approach of blending his brassy R&B sound with the more middle of the road, pop-oriented style, while performing in the presence of a big band ensemble. Recording of the album, as well his ABC-Paramount debut, The Genius Hits the Road (1960), a collection of place-name songs devoted to parts of the United States, expanded on Charles's thematic and conceptually-organized approach to albums rather than commercially successful singles production. Inspired by this approach and his recording of "I'm Movin' On", Charles originally made plans for a single-less concept album.

When Charles had announced that he wanted to work on an album of country music in 1961, during a period of racial segregation and tension in the United States, he received generally negative commentary and feedback from his peers, including fellow R&B musicians and ABC-Paramount executives. The country album concept, however, meant more to Charles as a test of his record label's faith in him and respect for his artistic freedom than as a test of social tolerance among listeners amid racial distinctions of country and R&B. Fueled by his esteem for creative control, Charles pitched the idea of a country album to ABC representatives. Following the successful lobby of the concept and a contract renewal in early 1962, which was linked to the launching of his own Tangerine label, Charles prepared his band for the recording sessions that produced Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music.

Recording

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music was the 18th overall LP Charles had recorded. According to him, the title of the album was conceived by producer Sid Feller and ABC-Paramount's executives and management people. The recording sessions for the album took place at three sessions in mid-February 1962. The first two sessions were set on February 5 and 7 at Capitol Studios in New York, New York, at which one half of the album was recorded and produced. The other half was recorded on February 15 of that same year in United Studio B at United Western Recorders in Hollywood, California.

Instead of drawing what he should record from memory and his knowledge of country music, Charles asked Feller, his newly appointed A&R (Artists and Repertoire) man, to research top country standards through major country music publishers. Feller canvassed premier country publishing companies, such as Acuff-Rose Publishing (which featured the Hank Williams catalog) and Hill & Range Songs (most of which were located in Nashville, Tennessee). In doing so, he amassed around 250 songs on tape for Charles to consider recording for Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. From New York City, Feller sent the recordings to Charles, who was living in California at the time, for him to choose. According to music essayist Daniel Cooper:

While his selections provided the album's country and western foundation, the musical arrangements represented its contemporary influence. Eager to display his big band ensemble in studio, Charles enlisted premier jazz arrangers Gerald Wilson and Gil Fuller, while Marty Paich, who was active in the West Coast jazz scene, was hired to arrange the lush strings and chorus numbers. Despite enlisting a roster of professional arrangers and musicians, Charles intended to control the artistic direction of the recordings. To indicate specific licks he wanted emphasized for certain songs, Charles would put together voice-and-piano demos and pass them along to the arrangers, informing them of what he wanted to do with specific sounds. According to Feller, at one point during recording, Charles rewrote an entire botched arrangement and dictated the parts to each of the 18 backing musicians.

Music and lyrics
The album's themes are about heartbreak and love, with most of the material chosen by Charles being ballads. The concept which had originally attracted the interest of Charles to this style of music was the strength he admired in writing a ballad's somber or melancholy lyrics and then performing the ballad with aesthetic and emotional stability; an element he had found to be common in even the most diverse musical genres. Writer Daniel Cooper said of Charles's adaptation of country elements, "His country forays play like a series of intricate variations or like one long meditation on the expansive qualities of music commonly described as the white man's blues." AllMusic's Stephen Cook writes that "Charles intones the sleepy-blue nuances of country crooners while still giving the songs a needed kick with his gospel outbursts."

Despite the racial and social implications of R&B and country at the time, Charles did not agree with contemporary views of race records and other genres, including pop and country, as essentially different. In an interview with Ben Fong-Torres of Rolling Stone, Charles said of the similarities between the blues and country music, "[T]he words to country songs are very earthy like the blues, see, very down. They're not as dressed up, and the people are very honest and say, 'Look, I miss you, darlin', so I went out and I got drunk in this bar.' That's the way you say it. Where in Tin Pan Alley will say, 'Oh, I missed you darling, so I went to this restaurant and I sat down and I had dinner for one.' That's cleaned up now, you see? But country songs and the blues is like it is."

In an interview with music historian Peter Guralnick, Charles further elaborated on his understanding, stating "You take country music, you take black music, you got the same goddamn thing exactly." While Modern Sounds features mostly covers of country and western music standards, its sound and musical style are marked by the heavy rhythm and blues influence of Charles's playing. A considerable amount of the material's melancholy lyrics and words are backed by piano and orchestral arrangements that are rooted in jazz, as well as West Coast and Charles's style of piano blues. Charles has said that the country album was "completely different from rhythm and blues".

"You Don't Know Me" has a string and vocal ensemble production and themes of desirous unrequited love. The song's narrator longs for a woman that views him as "just a friend/That's all I've ever been/For you don't know me." AllMusic editor Bill Janovitz writes of the song's affecting narrative, stating "The genius, the pathos, and the soul that is Charles oozes into this recording [...] No matter how many times one hears the song, it still induces chills down the spine after the narrator blows any chance he might have had and is left alone at the end."

Both composed by Hank Williams, "You Win Again" and "Hey, Good Lookin'" are derived from Williams's different emotional perspectives. The difference is further accentuated by Charles's interpretations of the songs. "I Can't Stop Loving You", a countrypolitan ballad with lush, cushioned arrangements, was placed at the 11th spot in the track listing, assumed by Sid Feller to be the album's weakest song, after which becoming the album's top-selling single. Charles was disappointed with him, as Feller was in charge of sequencing for the album.

Charles also covered the heartbreak ballads "It Makes No Difference Now" and "I Love You So Much It Hurts", both originally by honky tonk musician Floyd Tillman,. The Ted Daffan-penned "Worried Mind" and "Born to Lose" expand his take on country balladry and feature a blend of piano blues with string arrangements.

Marketing and sales
Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music was released in April 1962 and quickly became one of the best-selling albums recorded by a black musician of the time, as well as one of the best-selling country albums, shipping at least 500,000 copies in its first three months of release. This achievement was due in part to the mainstream promotional efforts Modern Sounds had received from ABC prior to and following release. The album proved to be a crossover hit as well, as distributors claimed the record had been selling in pop, R&B and country music markets; at the time, often referred to as white and black markets during the period.

Writing of the album shortly after its release, Billboard magazine claimed that, "in addition to being powerful dealer material, this package will fracture knowledgeable jockeys who will find in it a wealth of material to talk about as well as play." By mid-April, reports of the album's sales and radio airplay had started coming in from cities such as Dallas and Philadelphia. On June 23, 1962, the mono issue of Modern Sounds replaced the West Side Story soundtrack album as the number one album in the United States, knocking it off the top of the Billboard Pop Albums chart.

The album spawned four charting singles, "Born to Lose", "Careless Love", "I Can't Stop Loving You" and "You Don't Know Me", the latter two of which went number one on the Adult Contemporary chart. The hit singles quickly gained a significant amount of radio airplay on both country and R&B stations. By mid-May, the album's lead single, "I Can't Stop Loving You", had sold 700,000 copies within its first four weeks of release. Record dealers began describing the album as "equal in sales action to some of the early Presley disks" and, after moving 400,000 copies of the single, influential Atlanta record distributor Gwen Kestler told Billboard magazine that "the record is so hot in her district that people who don't even own record players are buying it." "I Can't Stop Loving You" hit number one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart on June 2, spending five consecutive weeks at the top of the chart. By the time it fell off the top, the single was reported to have reached nearly a million and a half in sales, moving over 100,000 copies per week. In July the record spent two weeks at number one in Great Britain.

As Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music and its singles were performing well in the United States, Charles toured Europe with his big band and the Raelettes. He performed both his signature R&B and jazz material at such venues as Paris Olympia and the Hot Club de France, where he was hailed as "a true jazz artist in the tradition of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington." Upon his return to the United States at the end of the summer, ABC-Paramount had officially recognized his achievements, presenting Charles with two gold records—one for "I Can't Stop Loving You", the other for his Modern Sounds album—during a live concert performance at the Convention Hall in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Through his ventures into country music and the European jazz scene, Charles's white audience grew significantly at concerts. The album was quickly followed by another recording of country, western and pop standards covered by Charles, and recorded in September 1962. Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music, Vol. 2 was released six months after the first volume and proved to be equally successful, while also earning a gold certification by the following year. Following his tenure with ABC-Paramount, Charles later went on to achieve more commercial success recording country music under Columbia Records throughout most of the 1980s.

Critical reception

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music received positive reviews from critics of both rhythm and blues and country music. Billboard called it "one of the most intriguing albums in a long time" in a contemporary review, finding its musical concept "wonderful". "I Can't Stop Loving You" earned Charles a Grammy Award for Best Rhythm & Blues Recording at the 1963 Grammy Awards, while the album was nominated in the Album of the Year category.

Since its initial reception, the album has been praised by critics for Charles's style and manner of interpreting country music into his R&B musical language. Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times wrote that the "masterful interpretation of several country standards ... opened a lot of pop ears to country music and showed Nashville much about the proper use of orchestration." AllMusic editor Stephen Cook called the album a "fine store of inimitable interpretations", and stated, "Less modern for its country-R&B blend and lushly produced C&W tone than for its place as a high-profile crossover hit, Modern Sounds in Country and Western fit right in with Ray Charles's expansive musical ways while on the Atlantic label in the '50s". Chris Neal of Country Weekly commented that Charles "recast 12 country favorites in big-band and orchestrated settings with a visionary's easy grace", adding that he "gets to the heart of each [song] in a way that remains thoroughly modern." John Morthland of the Oxford American called it a "landmark LP of transcendent vocals set against kitschy orchestrations that (along with early rock 'n' roll) illuminated black-white roots connections for a popular audience."

Accolades
In 1999, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, as was "I Can't Stop Loving You" in 2001. Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music was cited by The Recording Academy as a recording of "historical significance". "I Can't Stop Loving You" was ranked number 49 on Country Music Television's list of the 100 Greatest Songs of Country Music. In November 2003, Rolling Stone ranked the album number 104 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and 105 in a 2012 revised list, and 127 in a 2020 revised list. The album was also included in Robert Christgau's "Basic Record Library" of 1950s and 1960s recordings, published in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981).

Legacy and influence

Country music

In the wake of Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music and its success, country music experienced an immediate increase in popularity. According to music writer Daniel Cooper, "the album raised the genre's profile", specifically Nashville sound, which Charles had covered. Benefiting from this were songwriters, music publishers, and country singers who covered the subgenre's material. As noted by Cooper, by the end of 1962, Nashville country publishers were being held as "the hottest source of music material in the record business these days." Charles's success with the stylistic fusion of country and soul on Modern Sounds led to similar efforts from artists such as Candi Staton and Solomon Burke, who were greatly influenced by the album. Many country music artists such as Willie Nelson and Buck Owens have cited Charles's take on the genre with the album as a major influence. In an interview for Country Music Television (CMT), Nelson said that the album "did more for country music than any one artist has ever done." Doug Freeman of the Austin Chronicle wrote of Charles's influence through the album, stating:

Summing up on the impact Modern Sounds had on country music and listeners, writer Daniel Cooper states, "There is no telling how many people, who perhaps never paid much attention to country music or even had professed to dislike it, listened anew based on the impact of having heard what Ray Charles was capable of doing with that music." Charles eventually earned a country music repertoire and reputation following the success of the Modern Sounds records, later country hit singles for Warner Bros. Records, and various appearances at country music events, including The Johnny Cash Show in 1970 and the Grand Ole Opry's 58th anniversary in 1983, the program to which he listened as a youth.

Social impact
Following the album's release, Charles quickly earned an influx of white listeners and audiences at concert venues, without experiencing any fall-out from his predominantly black audience. Writer Daniel Cooper later said of the album's effect, "It's an idea as corny as any country song you can think of, and one that Charles knew to be true; music unites people. It just really does." Throughout the years following its initial reception, Modern Sounds gained further acknowledgment of its impact on the music industry and society. Through conceiving and recording the album, Charles became one of the first African-American musicians to receive and practice artistic control bestowed upon by a mainstream record company. In a 1998 interview, country musician Raul Malo acknowledged the album's influence, calling it "one of the most important records of our time, not only because of its content, but also due to its social and political ramifications." In a July 8, 2004 article for Rolling Stone magazine, music journalist Robert Christgau praised the impact and influence that the Modern Sounds recordings had on music, stating "In the world it created, not only could a black person sing the American songbook Ella Fitzgerald owned by then, but a country black person could take it over. Soon Charles's down-home diction, cotton-field grit, corn-pone humor and overstated shows of emotion were standard operating procedure in American music, black and white."

In addition to its social implications, the musical integration of soul and country into popular format by Charles changed and revolutionized racial boundaries and restraints in music, and contributed to the historical Civil Rights Movement. Robert Fontenot of About.com was one of several writers to praise the album's musical and social implications, stating "Arguably one of the most brilliant interpretive albums ever released, it did more to integrate modern American music than almost any other LP in history." In paying tribute to the magazine's selection of the 100 Greatest Singers of All Time, which had selected Charles at #2, singer-songwriter Billy Joel noted the album's racial and social impact in an article for Rolling Stone, stating "here is a black man giving you the whitest possible music in the blackest possible way, while all hell is breaking loose with the civil rights movement." Another article for Rolling Stone, written in honor of Charles and his achievements, later stated that through his Modern Sounds recordings, Ray Charles "made it acceptable for black people to sing country & western music, in the process doing almost as much to break down racial barriers as did the civil-rights movement."

Subsequent work by Charles
In addition to the album's legacy as one of the most influential recordings of all time, Modern Sounds also had an effect on Charles's later work. According to writer Nate Guidry, the recording marked the zenith of Charles's popularity and success. By the mid-1960s and continuing into the 1970s and 1980s, the majority of his musical output was focused onto more middle of the road and pop releases, featuring less of his recognizable, trademark soul and R&B, and more of the crossover and fusion tendencies of Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music. On the album's influence, columnist Spencer Leigh of The Independent stated that "Numerous artists followed Charles's lead, but it must be said that Charles himself repeated the trick much too often." The period of releases following Modern Sounds has been recognized by writers as a "critical slide" and the weakest in his recording career. Several of the LP albums from this period have yet to be reissued and have remained rare among record collectors, if not out of print. Charles's final studio album Genius Loves Company (2004) would later be released shortly after his death, and proved to be a comeback success, in terms of sales and critical response, as it quickly became Charles's first top-10 album in forty years and the best-selling record of his career.

On October 27, 1998, Rhino Entertainment issued a four-disc box set entitled The Complete Country & Western Recordings: 1959–1986, which chronicles Charles's country and western recordings. The collection features the two volumes of Modern Sounds, as well as his later country singles for Warner Bros. Included in the set is a hardcover booklet of essays by producer Sid Feller, writer Daniel Cooper, and Ray Charles, along with liner photography by Howard Morehead and Les Leverett. On June 2, 2009, both volumes of Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music were reissued as a single package by Concord Music.

Q: postfix NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from 454 4.7.1 Relay access denied PS: I seem to have solved this issue by adding all my domains to $mydestinations. I still do not understand why virtual_alias_maps seems to be ignored when looking for valid mydestinations.
After updating postfix, it started rejecting emails from external domains to my virtual domains (managed by Virtualmin / Webmin) on the server. My virtual domains in turn just forward these messages to gmail.
Mar 26 13:48:08 CentOS-72-64-minimal postfix/smtpd[10252]: connect from nm3-vm8.bullet.mail.gq1.yahoo.com[98.136.218.151]

I understand based on these issues (all related)

*

*NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from on freebsd and postfix

*SMTP don't work when try to send mail from mail client
that this error is due to defer_unauth_destination default postfix setting.
However, I have a working virtual_alias_maps, but this map seems to be ignored by postfix as info@MY-DOMAIN-ON-SERVER.com is present in there and is set to forward to xxxxx@gmail.com.
Here is my postconf -n
[root@host ~]# postconf -n
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
command_directory = /usr/sbin
config_directory = /etc/postfix
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix

debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin ddd $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5

sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix
setgid_group = postdrop
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

Would you have any tips what I need to do to get this working?

A: In your postconf listing, I see virtual_alias_maps but I don't see virtual_alias_domains Try adding it as shown below.
virtual_alias_domains = MY-DOMAIN-ON-SERVER.com

1833 James Busby imports vine cuttings
James Busby(1801-71) was a pioneer of viticulture in New South Wales, emigrating with his family from Britain in 1824. He had studied viticulture in France and took up property in the Hunter Valley. He published several works that were influential in the development of the wine industry in the new colony and in 1833, after a tour of Europe, donated a collection of vine cuttings to the colonial government. He became British Resident in New Zealand in 1833, where he was involved in drafting the Treaty of Waitangi.
James Busby was 23 when he migrated to Australia with his parents in 1824. He was granted 2000 acres in the Hunter River district where he established a vineyard. For his first three years in the colony he taught viticulture at the Male Orphan School near Liverpool, New South Wales, where he oversaw the planting of another vineyard.
Busby wrote a number of works on viticulture, including A Manual of Plain Directions for Planting and Cultivating Vineyards and for Making Wine in New South Wales which was published in 1831. That same year he returned to England and subsequently toured the wine regions of Spain and France. During this time he collected hundreds of vine samples which were shipped to New South Wales aboard the Camden in 1833.
He donated the samples to the government, writing ""It is my wish to place this collection of vines at the disposal of His Majesty's Government, for the purpose, should it be deemed expedient, of forming an experimental garden at Sydney, to prove their different qualities, and propagate, for general distribution, those which may appear most suitable to the climate"
This gesture earned James Busby the title of "father of the Australian wine industry". Although the vines planted in Sydney's Botanical Gardens did not fare well, 365 duplicates were planted at his own property, Kirkton, in the Hunter Valley. After Busby sailed for New Zealand in April 1833 his brother-in-law William Kelman continued to tend the vineyard. The property was one of the sources of vine material for George Whydham's Dalwood estate, the earliest commercial vineyard in the Hunter.

Bing for the iPad: Not just a search engine
Microsoft sneaks a Web browser into the App Store, which has excluded the likes of Internet Explorer and Firefox
With the debut Thursday of its Bing for iPad app, Microsoft has done more than introduce another search engine to Apple's tablet, which already has search apps by Google and Yahoo available. It has, in effect, introduced a pseudo-browser to Apple's App Store.
Apple famously does not allow browser apps that are not built on the WebKit rendering engine into the App Store, a policy that rules out bigwig browsers like Internet Explorer and Firefox from appearing as iPhone or iPad apps. So rather than try to create a separate, WebKit-based browser, Microsoft instead is using its Bing search engine to emulate a browser.
The trick is that all content is displayed inside the Bing app. Search results do not open in Safari, the iPad's native browser, but stay in Bing. For example, if a user searches on a particular news topic, the results are displayed in a grid, and if the user touches on one of the grid tiles, the news story is opened -- within Bing. Image search similarly arranges results on a grid and displays them without leaving the app, and voice-search capabilities let users speak their queries instead of having to type them.
"It sort of operates like a browser," said analyst Greg Sterling of Sterling Market Intelligence. "Effectively, from a consumer's standpoint, it is a browser."
The app also happens to be Microsoft's first for the iPad. Microsoft is clearly making a concerted effort to reach beyond the realm of Windows in the exploding mobile space. It has already released apps for archrival Google's Android platform, and now it is looking to get a toehold in Apple's popular iOS ecosystem. If Bing manages to become the search app of choice for iPad users over Google's app, so much the better for Microsoft as it battles for increased search market share.

The Business Ethics Blog
A blog about Business Ethics by Chris MacDonald, PhD
Encyclopedia of Business Ethics
Ford's MyKey: Parental Controls for Teen Drivers
From the autoblog:
Ford announced today a new technology called MyKey that will be standard on the 2010 Focus Coupe and quickly spread to the rest of the Blue Oval's lineup. MyKey can do three basic things: allow parents to limit a vehicle's top speed to 80 mph and/or the stereo's volume up to 44% of its max, and set a sustaining chime if the seatbelts aren't being used. Clearly targeted towards worry wart parents, the MyKey system is meant to keep teens safe despite their protestation that a system like this curtails their kiddy freedoms. Ford did some polling and found that 67% of teens didn't like the idea, though that number fell to 36% if the MyKey system led to parents letting the kids use the car more.
The product has engendered a surprising amount of debate — mostly criticism — in the comment sections of various blogs. Most of the comments (see here and here, for example) criticize the product for promoting invasive parenting, or say things like 'there's no way this will keep kids 100% safe.' Yeah, well duh! No product is ever designed to produce 100% safety. That would be impossible, and it's (therefore) a silly criticism.
As for the criticism that this kind of product permits/encourages invasive parenting, consider 2 points:
1) as "big brother" products go, this one is pretty mild. No actual surveillance (e.g., no electronic reporting back to Mom & Dad on Jr's driving habits) and nothing covert — there's no aspect of parental surveillance or control that is hidden from these young drivers. So it is totally unlike, e.g., computer software that covertly monitors & reports on kids' web-surfing habits.
2) If invasive parenting is ever justified, monitoring and restricting teen driving habits has got to be pretty high on the "allowable" list, given the evidence about the quality of judgment exercised by young drivers, and the potential consequences — e.g., death to your kid and their friends. We're not talking about preventing Jr from seeing naked people online, here. As "nanny" products go, this one seems an ethical winner.

[This comment is from Laura Hartman, who gave me permission to post it here.]This is just one in a series of ways to monitor teen driving, and pretty tame, if you ask me (and I would be one of those meddlesome parents who anticipates monitoring, but who knows – mine are a few years away yet).Check out < HREF="http://www.newsweek.com/id/153932" REL="nofollow">this story<> or < HREF="http://www.tell-my-mom.com/" REL="nofollow">tell-my-mom.com<> for a program encouraging others to call if they notice teens with poor driving, and < HREF="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21225268/" REL="nofollow">this story<> for a camera mounted on the mirror, with the latter sponsored by insurers: "Under Safeco's Teensurance plan, parents are sent an e-mail or text message if their teen's car, monitored by on-board GPS and notification technology called the Safety Beacon, exceeds pre-defined speed limits or strays too far from home or school."And even a < HREF="http://www.guardianangeltech.com/Teen_Driver_Cell_Phone.html" REL="nofollow">cell phone that monitors speed<>.

It's a little like the "morning after" pill isn't? It really is possible to raise a kid to be a safe driver. But it takes years of teaching about responsibility, ethics, and respect, not to mention the relationship between action and consequence. Or,I guess you can just buy a monitor.

Being a writer myself, I have always loved words, great sentences, I adore metaphors and languages. I am a polyglot.
I also love to correspond with fellow or would be authors. I think everyone has a book in them. Their magnum opus. This is one of the inspirations for this blog's creation.
So I felt that after having done a few e-books, I would set up a blog for like-minded people, who are positive, creative and may help with a words of advice. Those who will share experiences and any useful tips to help us all get the best from each other.
The ebook sector has been rated as being a $10 Billion industry and as such, there are a tidal wave of emails flooding inboxes trying to part writers away from their money.
I have seen people offering to create ebook covers for $99 and that is just one example I have seen, and there are many others which I would love to hear about.
Maybe gathering such data can help us avoid the traps and snares which are abound.
There are many ways to do things and sometimes we may not always get around to it, but if and when we do, having the full details and possible methods at our disposal should make the effort that we do as good as it possibly can be.
