Franz Schmidt (* 22. Dezember 1874 in Preßburg, heute Bratislava, Österreich-Ungarn; † 11. Februar 1939 in Perchtoldsdorf) war ein österreichischer Komponist.

Leben

Franz Schmidt war der Sohn des Preßburger Kaufmanns Franz Schmidt und dessen aus Ungarn stammender Ehefrau Maria geb. Ravasz. Bereits seine Mutter – eine hervorragende Pianistin – bemerkte seine herausragende Begabung, erteilte ihm bereits als Kind Klavierunterricht und machte ihn mit dem Werk Johann Sebastian Bachs bekannt. In Musiktheorie und Orgelspiel wurde er von Pater Felician Josef Moczik unterrichtet, dem Organisten an der Franziskanerkirche zu Pressburg. Klavier studierte er bei Theodor Leschetizky, mit dem er sich aufgrund dessen veraltetem, von entstellenden Rubati geprägten Interpretationsstil schon bald überwarf.

1888 übersiedelte die Familie nach Wien und Schmidt setzte seine Studien am Konservatorium der Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde (Komposition bei Robert Fuchs, Cello bei Ferdinand Hellmesberger und für kurze Zeit Kontrapunkt bei Anton Bruckner) fort, die er 1896 mit "Auszeichnung" abschloss. Schreibeigenheiten von Robert Fuchs finden sich in Orgelwerken von Franz Schmidt wieder.

Von 1896 bis 1911 war Schmidt Mitglied der Wiener Philharmoniker und bis 1914 Solocellist im Hofopernorchester (heute Orchester der Wiener Staatsoper) und war als Organist, Solist, Kammermusiker, Begleiter und Dirigent gleichermaßen anerkannt und gefeiert. Zusammen mit Oskar Adler spielte er im Quartett von Arnold Schönberg. Aus seiner Preßburger Zeit war ihm der dortige namhafte Orgelbauer Vincent Možný (auch: Vincze Mozsny, 1844–1919) bekannt, der ihm 1908 eine Orgel nach seinen eigenen Dispositionsangaben baute. Diese Orgel stand bis 2016 in der Pfarrkirche Maria Enzersdorf-Südstadt.

1914 bekam Schmidt eine Professur für Klavier an der Wiener Musikakademie (heute: Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst). 1925 wurde er dort Direktor und war von 1927 bis 1931 Rektor. Als Pädagoge für Klavier, Violoncello, Kontrapunkt und Komposition bildete er an der Musikakademie zahlreiche später bedeutende Musiker, Dirigenten und Komponisten aus. Zu seinen bekanntesten Schülern zählten u. a. der Pianist Friedrich Wührer, der Komponist Rudolf Wimmer und Alfred Rosé (Sohn von Arnold Rosé, dem legendären Gründer des Rosé-Quartetts, Konzertmeister der Wiener Philharmoniker und Schwager Gustav Mahlers), weiters der spätere Gesangspädagoge Walter Taussig. Unter den Komponisten sind Theodor Berger, Marcel Rubin und Alfred Uhl zu erwähnen. Aus gesundheitlichen Gründen gab Schmidt 1937 seine Lehrtätigkeit auf. Den weiten Horizont des Pädagogen Schmidt dokumentiert eine Aufführung von Arnold Schönbergs komplexem und damals der extremen Avantgarde zugerechnetem Pierrot Lunaire, die Schmidt mit Studenten der Akademie 1929 einstudierte. Ansonsten bestanden zwischen den Exponenten der sogenannten Wiener Schule um Schönberg und dem "Spätromantiker" Franz Schmidt kaum persönliche Beziehungen.

Viele Auszeichnungen bezeugen die ihm entgegengebrachte hohe Wertschätzung: u. a. der Franz-Joseph-Orden sowie die aus Anlass des 60. Geburtstages verliehene Ehrendoktorwürde (Dr. phil. h. c.) der Universität Wien. Nach Aussagen von Schülern Schmidts beherrschte ihr Lehrer nahezu sämtliche damals bekannten Klavierkompositionen auswendig.

Sein Privatleben stand allerdings weitgehend in krassem Gegensatz zur erfolgreichen beruflichen Laufbahn: zwei Jugendlieben blieben unerfüllt. Seine erste Gattin Karoline Perssin (1880–1942) wurde ab 1919 in der Wiener Nervenheilanstalt Am Steinhof stationär behandelt (und drei Jahre nach dem Tode Franz Schmidts im Zuge der nationalsozialistischen Euthanasie-Kampagne ermordet). Seine Tochter Emma (1902–1932) verstarb völlig unerwartet nach der Geburt ihres ersten Kindes. Der gebrochene Vater bezeichnete seine 4. Sinfonie als "Requiem für meine Tochter". Erst seine zweite Ehe mit seiner wesentlich jüngeren Klavierschülerin Margarethe Jirasek (1891–1964) brachte dem bereits mit schweren gesundheitlichen Problemen kämpfenden Künstler die dringend benötigte Stabilisierung des Privatlebens. Mit seiner ersten Geliebten Elise Zwieback aus der Studienzeit hatte Schmidt auch einen Sohn, Ludwig Zirner.

In seinem letzten Lebensjahr erlebte der Todkranke den "Anschluss" Österreichs an das Deutsche Reich. Bei der Volksabstimmung im April 1938 trat er für das "Ja" ein. Schmidt wurde von den Nationalsozialisten als der bedeutendste lebende Komponist Österreichs, der damaligen "Ostmark", hofiert, auch wenn man ihn als "Vertreter der religiösen Kunst" sah. Schmidt erhielt den Auftrag, eine Kantate mit dem Titel Deutsche Auferstehung. Ein festliches Lied zu komponieren, hinterließ diese jedoch unvollendet.
Schmidt vollendete im Sommer und Herbst 1938, wenige Monate vor seinem Tod, noch zwei Auftragswerke für den einarmigen Pianisten Paul Wittgenstein: das Klarinettenquintett in A-Dur und die (Solo)-Toccata d-Moll.

Am 17. Februar 1939 wurden Schmidts sterbliche Überreste im Goldenen Saal des Wiener Musikvereins aufgebahrt, seine Leiche anschließend in der Karlskirche eingesegnet und in einem Ehrengrab auf dem Zentralfriedhof beigesetzt.

Rezeption

Franz Schmidt zählt zu den Komponisten der österreichischen Spätromantik, und seine Musik zeichnet sich durch eine charakteristische Klangsprache mit subtilen Harmonisierungen aus. Als Höhepunkt in seinem nicht sehr umfangreichen, aber qualitativ hochstehenden Werk gilt das Oratorium Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln, das von den Wiener Symphonikern und vom Wiener Singverein uraufgeführt wurde. Franz Schmidt hat auch als Vorläufer der Orgelbewegung zu gelten, da er die orchestrale Orgel der Romantik (einschließlich Schwellwerk) entschieden abgelehnt hat.

Nach 1945 wurde Schmidts Werk und Leben aufgrund seines Eintretens für den "Anschluss", die Hofierung durch die Nationalsozialisten und seine Sympathien für das austrofaschistische Regime deutlich kritischer gesehen. Leon Botstein fasste dies so zusammen, dass Schmidt sein Werk auf den Traditionen des österreichischen Katholizismus aufbaute und sich somit das Image eines nicht korrumpierbaren, anti-kosmopolitischen Künstlers verlieh, der seinen heimatlichen Wurzeln verhaftet war. Diese Haltung brachte es mit sich, dass Schmidt in den 1930ern vom Austrofaschismus und Nationalsozialismus vereinnahmt wurde und sich dagegen nicht verwahrte.

Auszeichnungen
 Franz Schmidt wurde in einem Ehrengrab der Stadt Wien auf dem Wiener Zentralfriedhof (Gruppe 32 C, Nummer 16) beigesetzt.
 1956 wurde die Franz-Schmidt-Gasse in Perchtoldsdorf nach ihm benannt. Gleichzeitig wurde durch die Gemeinde Perchtoldsdorf eine erste Gedenktafel an seinem Wohnhaus in der Lohnsteinstraße 4 angebracht. Diese Tafel aus Metall ist der Schaffung der vierten Symphonie und dem Buch mit sieben Siegeln sowie dem Sterbetag gewidmet.
 Am 13. Februar 1964 wurde durch die niederösterreichische Landesregierung aus Anlass seines 25. Todestages die zweite Gedenktafel mit einem Relief aus Stein an seinem Wohnhaus in der Lohnsteinstraße enthüllt. Diese Tafel ist "Dem großen Symphoniker" gewidmet.
 1985 wurde die neue Orgel in der Pfarrkirche Perchtoldsdorf nach ihm benannt.
 2001 wurde der Ernst-Krenek-Park in Wien-Hietzing in Franz-Schmidt-Park umbenannt.
 2005 wurde eine Büste Schmidts im Franz-Schmidt-Park aufgestellt.

« ANTI WIND GROUPS DECRY CANADIAN COUNCIL OF ACADEMIES' BOOKEND PIECE TO HEALTH…
Canadian Council of Academies wind turbines and health study: deeply flawed »
Field Naturalists win at Ontario Court of Appeal
By Bruce Bell, The County Weekly News/The Intelligencer
http://www.intelligencer.ca/
PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY – An industrial wind turbine project in southern Prince Edward County is losing its race against the Blandings Turtle.
In a decision released Monday at noon, the Ontario Court of Appeal reversed a lower court ruling regarding a Renewal Energy Approval (REA) of the nine-turbine Ostrander Point industrial wind project.
The Prince Edward County Field Naturalists have been fighting the development since 2008 and Monday's decision marks the end of their third battle before the courts in a bid to stop the project.
Monday's decision confirms a 2013 ruling by the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT), the Blandings Turtles and its habitat will suffer serious and irreversible harm if the project operates as approved.
Following the 2013 ERT ruling, both project developer Gilead Power and the Ministry of Environment filed appeals to the Divisional Court in Toronto arguing the tribunal had made a half-dozen errors in concluding the project would hurt the creatures.
Monday was a happy day for members of the Field Naturalists.
"We're very pleased. The court has ruled in favour of protecting the environment, which is what we've asked for throughout" said Myrna Wood, president of the PEC Field Naturalists.
The Court of Appeal refused to hear Gilead's proposal for a remedy to protect the turtles, instead referring it back to the ERT.
"Their remedy for the severe and irreversible damage is to put gates on the roads, after the project is completed, after the damage is already done," said Field Naturalists spokesperson Cheryl Anderson. "This is something they came up with after the last ERT hearing and I'm certain that we can make a compelling case to them that the gates will not help."
The Field Naturalists have raised more than $200,000 to help offset court costs since the battle began. Anderson said it's caught the attention of people across the country.
"The fight to Save Ostrander Point and the legal costs entailed have been supported by donations from people all over Canada," she said. "Concerned and conscientious individuals have sent messages of support and joined in petitions and letters to elected representatives. The members of PECFN are grateful and humbled by the support and pledge to continue to stand up for the environment, endangered species and important habitat."
Field Naturalist lawyer Eric Gillespie said the decision may affect other proposed wind turbine projects.
"The decision is undoubtedly important," he said. "This is the first renewable energy case to reach the Court of Appeal. The court has supported our client's fundamental concerns and affirmed a number of legal principles that clearly will be relevant to other appeals."

256B.0615 MENTAL HEALTH CERTIFIED PEER SPECIALIST.
Medical assistance covers mental health certified peer specialist services, as established in subdivision 2, subject to federal approval, if provided to recipients who are eligible for services under sections 256B.0622, 256B.0623, and 256B.0624 and are provided by a certified peer specialist who has completed the training under subdivision 5.
(4) promotes socialization, recovery, self-sufficiency, self-advocacy, development of natural supports, and maintenance of skills learned in other support services.
Peer support services may be made available to consumers of (1) intensive residential treatment services under section 256B.0622; (2) adult rehabilitative mental health services under section 256B.0623; and (3) crisis stabilization and mental health mobile crisis intervention services under section 256B.0624.
Subd. 4.Peer support specialist program providers.
The commissioner shall develop a process to certify peer support specialist programs, in accordance with the federal guidelines, in order for the program to bill for reimbursable services. Peer support programs may be freestanding or within existing mental health community provider centers.
Subd. 5.Certified peer specialist training and certification.
The commissioner of human services shall develop a training and certification process for certified peer specialists, who must be at least 21 years of age. The candidates must have had a primary diagnosis of mental illness, be a current or former consumer of mental health services, and must demonstrate leadership and advocacy skills and a strong dedication to recovery. The training curriculum must teach participating consumers specific skills relevant to providing peer support to other consumers. In addition to initial training and certification, the commissioner shall develop ongoing continuing educational workshops on pertinent issues related to peer support counseling.


An acquisition is usually dictated by the will to increase the company's size faster than would be possible by means of normal internal growth, with the aim of improving the company's competitive position and of creating synergies and making economies that would be difficult to repeat or achieve in the short term. In such cases, K Finance will first ascertain that there is no discrepancy between the financial operation and the underlying strategic plan, evaluate possible alternatives, and analyse the costs of the acquisition or the yield of an assignment. Then, the operation will be given a structure, a configuration will be established of the more suitable financial, fiscal and corporate modalities, and finally, an interested party will be looked for, and selected. K Finance will support the entrepreneur and the company at all stages, from the first negotiation to the closing of the deal, deploying and coordinating a negotiation team that also includes lawyers and auditors.
Such operations are conducted to raise funds for the acquisition of companies by internal or external entrepreneurs, private investors or managers who do not have the necessary resources themselves. A leverage buy-out maximises the lever action on the buyers' limited resources, using the indebtedness of the company to be acquired for the production of a sufficient cash flow to repay the loan granted to the company used as the vehicle for the acquisition.
In the case of out-of-the-ordinary financial operations, it is necessary, in the first place, to value the object of the envisaged transaction so as to provide clients with a comprehensive and exhaustive picture of the economic, financial, historical and entrepreneurial realities of the parties involved in the project. Such a service is also of primary importance in other moments of a company's life, namely whenever it becomes a priority to know the economic and financial value of one's own company.
The start-up and development processes of, among others, biotechnology, biomedicine, information technology and Internet companies require funds to be raised right from the first stages of their lives. K Finance will assist high-tech companies in the drawing up of a strategic business plan and of financial statements, organise the road shows to present the project to the investors' communities in the major European cities, and manage the entire fund-raising process in the following rounds, right up to initial public offering (IPO) on stock markets specialising in SMEs. In such operations, speed is the key success factor. K Finance's effective integration in an international network of venture capital funds enables the company to operate in a quick and efficient manner, with direct access to investors.
Listing on the stock-exchange or on secondary European markets for SMEs.
It is often necessary to play a leading part on the market to improve the company's image and to diversify with regard to fund raising. K Finance will accompany clients through all the preparatory stages of the listing, bringing to bear its profound knowledge of the markets and of the main exponents of the European stock exchanges for SMEs on the pre-listing evaluation of the company, the selection of the investment banker, the presentation of the company to the investors, etc.
K Finance provides a consulting service – with or without a time limit – for the optimisation and re-balancing of a company's financial structure. The aim is to achieve consistency between the company's mix of capital sources and its strategic investment objectives and the maximisation of its value.
Support in the optimisation of the financial structure.


How to Keep Shadows from under the eyes?
First let me thank John L. For the help. I have found that at our school the instructors are critical but vage. I have another question that really bothered me about some pictures I took of my Daughter. Under her eyes seems to be dark shadows. The lighting that day was really bright but I tried to avoid it not only for the picture but for her comfort. The photos are black and white. Can I fix this in the photo with out washing it out on the computer? If anyone has any ideas please respond to this I always need some advice. Love peoples opinion on my work good or bad. Trust me in school they hold nothing back. You must have tough skin! Thanks Michelle G.
Gee, thanks. Yes, juries can be harsh, sometimes outright mean. Been there, done that with music performance and photographs. What I found baffling are occasional conflicting critiques. One man's ceiling is another man's floor. I realize now they weren't there to be my friend, but to push hard so I wouldn't let up on continuously striving to do better. It got discouraging, and sometimes depressing, until I realized why they searched until they found at least something to cite as a flaw.
The shadows on the first photograph are harsh from direct sunlight. You have faced her so she is sidelighted to reduce squinting, which is a good start, but you haven't "filled" the shadows to reduce the contrast, and the lighting angle looks odd. Her eyes also lack "catchlights" which is a reflection of light off of the moisture coating the eyeball. It could also be improved if the shadows are not as sharply defined (feathered shadow edges), but that's not as easy to achieve outdoors; you're at the mercy of sky conditions.
Find a book on studio portraiture and their lighting styles; there are five common ones. Outdoors, it's usually easiest to emulate Rembrandt (a.k.a. triangle), loop, and butterfly (a.k.a. Paramount). Look at the light angles for the main (a.k.a. key) lights used to achieve these, then select time of day to position sun elevation to the same angle, turn the subject slowly until the proper lighting appears, and use fill flash about 1 to 2 stops down from the key lighting to fill in the shadows (using a small softbox or bounce card on the flash is highly recommended).
If that doesn't work I have also used an assistant with everything from a small tarp to something as simple as a jacket to create open shade on the subjects from the side, and then used fill flash or a reflector to put light in where I want it. Another trick is puting the sun to the subject's back and having an assistant hold a reflector to fill the subject's face, adjusting it to create the desired lighting angle. The reflector can be as simple as the shiny side of a Space Blanket, or for a little less reflectivity, a white bed sheet folded up into fourths works too. Use your imagination about what you can use as field expedient scrims and reflectors, the objective being getting light from an angle as you would in a studio, and softening it if possible.
The second photograph doesn't look unnatural to me. It looks like profile style lighting, except the camera position is a little more behind her than it would be in a studio, but that's not really a Bad Thing in this photograph as a partial perspective looking out the window with her more than compensates. What might be lacking is perhaps a little fill in the shadows, but that's an artistic choice and you do have some shadow detail. If you want to add a little fill with shots like this, use a reflector to bounce some light from the window into the shadows. I like how she is spreading the blinds; it also keeps her face from being tiger striped by shadows from them.
I know I've offered some suggestions that require an "assistant" to hold some things, and obviously using them rules out doing candids. You may not have assistants available. If not, you can use a step-ladder, a yardstick or two and some duct tape or masking tape (a.k.a. gaffer's tape) to prop a piece of stiff white board for reflecting light where you want it. For a silvered reflector, wrap a Space Blanket around it, or coat it with slightly crumpled aluminum foil (to diffuse it a little). If you're after candids, observe repeated behaviors, think about how you can set the stage with some subtle lighting improvements (using table lamps or opening other window curtains), or wait for better sky and time of day outdoors, and then be very very patient, but ready to sieze opportunity. This is how I do available light photographs of our pets indoors.
Hope this gives you some ideas you can use . . .
Michelle L. Gross Thank you so much John. I will be trying some new stuf here soon and I am hoping to get your opinion and ideas to improve. Thanks Michelle G.


Never Actually Write Anything Anymore? That's Exactly Why You Need A Nice Pen.
When was the last time you wrote something by hand? Depending on your habits, it might have been an awfully long time ago — even the monthly rhythm of dragging out the checkbook has been largely supplanted by automated payments; you probably haven't written a letter in years, and unless you have literary pretensions, you probably don't keep a diary. Never mind why you need a nice pen; you're probably wondering why you need any pen at all.
The answer is, oddly enough, that it's exactly because you don't need to write anything by hand that you should — and that the right pen can make a huge difference in how you think about what you write. There is probably no better way to make sure that whomever you're writing to actually reads what you wrote — and takes it seriously — than to put it on paper, and to either sign it by hand or actually write the whole thing out.
An entire lifetime of enjoyment can be had simply by developing a calligraphically satisfying signature. Not for nothing do we talk about a "signature" style or a "signature" design; the way you write your name is a hieroglyph that speaks volumes about how you look at yourself, the person to whom you wrote, and the subject of your writing. A business letter — perhaps a formal letter of thanks for a favor done or a contract granted — that's signed with a brisk initial (perhaps with a jaunty underline or the use of some decorative punctuation) says you're an admirably busy guy while at the same time subtly underscoring the fact that you have taken the time to actually prepare a letter and sign it yourself (and actually craft a signature appropriate to the correspondence).
And just think about trying to express your incredible depth, sensitivity, and intelligence to the object of your deepest passions. What's that, you're trying to do it by texting? Dear, oh dear — someone needs a pen.

Posted On February 2, 2022 Consumer Privacy & Data Breaches
System Breach Alert: Taylor Regional Hospital
NOTICE: If you received a NOTICE OF DATA BREACH letter from Taylor Regional Hospital, contact the attorneys at Console & Associates at (866) 778-5500 to discuss your legal options, or submit a confidential Case Evaluation form here.
February 2, 2022 – Recently, Taylor Regional Hospital reported a cyber security event resulting in the hospital's phones and computer systems going down. Taylor Regional Hospital first reported the breach on January 24, 2021. As of February 1, the hospital was still experiencing outages across its phone and computer systems, as mentioned in a banner displayed across the home page of the Taylor Regional Hospital website.
Security breaches like this one can stem from a variety of cyberthreats. Certainly, it is possible that a hacker merely wanted to cause a disruption in the hospital's operations. However, in many cases, when computer systems are taken offline by a hacker, it's an indication of something more nefarious. Often, hackers who are able to bypass the security system will then attempt to remove patients' protected health information from the affected servers. This may result in myriad potential problems for patients; for example, depending on the information on the servers, this may increase their risk of experiencing identity theft. Regardless, the thought of personal and health information being in the hands of an unknown party—let alone a possible criminal—is good reason to be concerned.
Importantly, Taylor Regional Hospital has not yet confirmed that the protected health information of any patient was compromised in the ongoing cybersecurity event. However, given the risks involved, those who believe their data may have been compromised as a result of the Taylor Regional Hospital data security incident should take the necessary precautions to keep their information secure. The data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C. are closely following all developments and are prepared to investigate a possible class action lawsuit if evidence emerges that Taylor Regional Hospital neglected the duties it owed to patients.
Is Your Protected Health Information at Risk Due to the Taylor Regional Hospital Breach?
Patients have special rights under federal law when it comes to their protected health information (PHI), and covered entities, including healthcare providers, must take special care when they possess a patient's PHI. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, "protected health information" is defined as "information, including demographic data, that relates to:
the individual's past, present or future physical or mental health or condition,
the provision of health care to the individual, or
the past, present, or future payment for the provision of health care to the individual,
and that identifies the individual or for which there is a reasonable basis to believe it can be used to identify the individual."
This makes clear that protection is afforded to certain health-care-related information when it is paired with additional data that allows a viewer to determine the patient's identity. Under the HIPAA Privacy Rule, there are 18 of these identifiers:
Full Names or a last name with an initial;
Any geographical identifier more specific than a state;
Dates;
Phone numbers;
Fax numbers;
Email addresses;
Social Security numbers;
Medical record numbers;
Health insurance beneficiary numbers;
Account numbers;
Certificate/license numbers;
Vehicle identifiers;
Device identifiers and serial numbers;
Web Uniform Resource Locators (URLs);
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses;
Biometric identifiers, including fingerprints;
Full-face images or other identifying photographs; and
Any other unique identifying number, characteristic, or code except the unique code assigned by the investigator to code the data.
If PHI has even one of these identifiers, it is protected under HIPAA and patients are entitled to additional protection. It is only when PHI is devoid of all identifiers that it is no longer considered "protected."
While it remains to be seen if the recent Taylor Regional Hospital "cyber security incident" will turn into a data breach, the consumer privacy lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C. are staying on top of the incident and will announce any further developments.

You can read some of his stories for free at paizo.com or follow him on Twitter @frabjousdave or frabjousdave.blogspot.com.
After a couple of decades editing and writing for shared-world settings, I still enjoy playing in someone else's sandbox. The advantages of building your sand castle in a popular setting make up for those occasions when you scoop up a cat turd. You can avoid those unpleasant surprises, or make the most of them, by approaching tie-in fiction as an archaeologist and historian.
When approaching a tie-in project, you'll start with either a wealth of source material—as in a big property like Star Wars—or with only a few pages of concepts—as in a brand-new setting like Far West. Each situation offers a different advantage. If your strengths lie in research and interpolation, you'll love poring over dozens of volumes in search of details to bring your story to life. If the material is well organized, with a wiki for instance, it'll be a breeze. With smaller settings, you'll enjoy the freedom to invent within an established atmosphere. I've written novels for which my research filled a banker's box and some for which my research fit on two pages. Each method has its pleasures.
Whether you're developing from existing elements or creating new ones, it's crucial not to break with the established "physics" of the world. When pitching a story for a steampunk/wuxia/Wild West setting, I assumed incorrectly that magic was a part of the world. Thankfully that happened at the pitch stage, so the editor gently pointed out my mistake, and I moved on to a different pitch. When I write for Pathfinder Tales, the editor asks me to footnote any mentions of spells or monsters from the game—or to point out where I'm inventing something new—to help him make sure my story jibes with the source material. As with any writing, the better your communication with the editor, the less pain you'll endure in revision.
Just like the real world, large settings like the Forgotten Realms occasionally produce conflicting references to a single location, time period, or character. Sometimes these vagaries are intentional, as with multiple interpretations of a religious prophecy. But discrepancies can slip through, just as archaeologists unearth contrary evidence or historians disagree in their interpretations of that evidence. If your editor can't resolve the question and it's left to you to make the call, make the most of it. Pick the interpretation that best serves your story, or the one that best reflects the "truth" of the setting. At the same time, trust your editor to make sure that writers working at the same time each have their own corners of the sandbox, minimizing conflicts.
Fans love to add to their favorite tie-in settings, as do third-party-publishers (3PP). Take care to avoid both fan-created and 3PP content. Not only is that extra material unofficial, it's also legally off-limits. This situation is especially dangerous to writers who have read widely from a setting's source material. Recently I discovered some fan-created material in a big folder of official source material, reminding me of this danger.
Even the most comprehensive setting won't provide you with all the details you need for a rich story, and that's where the real fun begins. You may know everything else about the goddess of death, but when you need the equivalent of the sign of the cross for a frightened character, it's your moment to add a new detail. Some of my favorite additions to established settings have been the smallest: rituals, courtesies, and curses. The key is not to throw in something just because it's cool by itself; it should make sense within the existing setting, so find a way to link the small to the big. For example, in a country where the authorities impale criminals on giant forks, "shooting the tines" might be the most offensive gesture. Do it well, and other authors will use your invention as their source material in the next book.
Writing tie-in fiction isn't for everyone. Some precious souls look down on the work, despite its appreciative audience and many excellent examples of the form. And maybe you just don't enjoy research; I know at least one brilliant writer who has done excellent tie-in work in the past but who avoids it now because it's too much like studying for an exam. Still, if you're a fan of a setting or its genre, if you play well with others, and if you do your research, you can have a lot of fun in the sandbox and uncover far more treasure than turds.
I love editors. I love them in theory and practice. In general and particular. Right now, every single editor I work with is awesome. And every single one of them would've eaten that previous sentence for lunch.
In fact, I wouldn't dare file a story to any of them with "awesome" in it, except as a joke (or if I were really, really tired). Besides, the editors I work with know me well enough to know that "awesome" isn't a word I'd use. That kind of familiarity is … well, it's awesome!
Sure, there have been editors I didn't get along with for various reasons.
Sometimes editor states very clearly what he or she wants and I don't really listen.
The latter example is all my fault. I can own that. And I also own a drawer (actually, a digital file folder) full of fish that have yet to find a place to swim. Want one? I'm giving them away free of charge.
I know the rules, the dos and don'ts of the writer/editor relationship. I've written about those rules and taught them in classes. I've even followed them (most of the time) since my first newspaper job over twenty years ago.
I've also broken just about every one of the rules and tried my darndest to learn from my mistakes.
Some of us, however, are slower learners than others. Being life-long learners, sometimes, has more to do with how slowly we learn than with the infinite scope of our curiosity.
The best thing about the editors I work with (other than their patience) is that every last one of them calls me on my BS and, for the most part, doesn't hold that very same BS against me.
And that is so, so awesome.
I admit it: sometimes I blow deadlines or turn stories in so close to the print run that the editors involved have no time even to copy edit them. Sometimes I forget to update my editors or I drop completely off the grid. Sometimes I need to be re-angled multiple times. Sometimes my stories are, shall we say, structurally unsound, organizationally baffling, epically confounding. And I get wordy, especially when I'm tired. If I have too little to do, I procrastinate. I pitch stories impulsively. Heck, I even space out on sending in the invoices. And, let's just face it: my comma usage is definitely not awesome.
I don't do these things all the time, but for most editors once is enough. I should know better. I should do better. I should be a better writing professional.
That's what an editor does. Pushes us to be better writers. Demands our best and deserves to get it.
Writers need editors. And I don't just mean aspiring and new writers. Every writer. Each and every one of us needs editors.
Editors pull us out of our own heads, gives us fresh perspectives on our work while it's still growing. Editors help us see with fresh eyes. They inspire us, have faith in us. They lend us their skill and the benefit of their experience. They teach us to be better writers … if we listen, if we keep our eyes and ears and egos open to what they have to offer.
How could we not love someone whose job it is to help make what we've written better?
Do I have an idealized view of editors? Maybe. Do I have an idealized view of the editors I work with? Not at all. They are human, every last one of them. They are imperfect. They get cranky. Annoyed. That's all part of the give and take, the human interaction, the creative process.
Editors are awesome. And we writers should treat them as such. We should open up a document file or pull out a pen and some paper this very moment and write them some of the cleanest, smoothest, most on-topic copy we've ever written. Flesh it out. Develop it. Dig deep and push past clichés.
When we have something worthy, we should send it in early, receive edits as though they were birthday gifts, revise as though possessed by a higher being, and file glorious final drafts.
I'm not being sarcastic, here. I'm not kidding. These people play a vital role in what we do as writers. We should treat them as accordingly.
Today's round-up includes three very different writers: Peter Brandvold, Sherry Monahan, and Tom Piccirilli. Each of them writes full-time, whether fiction or non-fiction. Each lives life contract to contract, deadline to deadline, sentence to sentence.
Peter Brandvold writes under his own name and his pen name, Frank Leslie. His recent books include The Devil's Winchester (as Peter Brandvold), Bullet for a Halfbreed (as Frank Leslie) and Longarm and the Crossfire Girl (as Tabor Evans). Under any name or in any series, Brandvold is known for writing violent action particularly well. His secret seems to be his great care in developing life-like characters.
Sherry Monahan is a freelance writer, editor, and genealogist who specializes in the Victorian Western migration. She is a contributing editor at True West magazine, as well as the author of the recent Cary, NC and the forthcoming E.M.H.: The Aristocratic Ranch Wife. In addition to freelance writing and editing, Monahan hires out as a professional researcher who helps people not only trace their ancestry but to also flesh out the details.


The title of this section almost sounds like Me, Myself and I which in some ways is how undiagnosed thyroid disorders can make you feel.
Personally I had a long road to travel before I had my first accurate diagnosis.
As my condition raised its ugly head a few times more my life was again sent into a spin in so many ways.
So for any readers who may have a thyroid disorder, or perhaps think that they might have here are some of my personal experiences from over the years.
This piece re personal experience may help and inform but you must remember it is written from a patient's perspective. I have learned a lot about my condition over the years but I am not a medical professional. Please bear this in mind and make sure that you contact an appropriate health professional with any related concerns.
Thyrotoxicosis can cause the eyes to bulge.
When I was a child my mum had a severe weight problem. As a tubby child I felt sure that I would simply grow and grow until I was huge. My Mum would always be on a diet but never seemed to lose any weight.
In fact at one point in her life she was following a controlled diet and putting weight on.
Our family doctor was dismissive of her problems and always said Mum was obviously eating more than she claimed.
Eventually suffering from extremely high blood pressure she was hospitalized.
Following a strictly regulated 800 calorie diet she still gained weight.
Eventually she was diagnosed with an under-active thyroid gland and started on appropriate medication.
Within three months she had halved her weight. Unfortunately a few weeks later she suffered a massive brain hemorrhage.
She was 55-years-old and was left semi-paralyzed and unable to speak or function properly.
She died three years later.
I was 23-years-old when she died and had not really read or heard anything much about Thyroid disorders.
A couple of years later I was taken very ill myself. I lost a huge amount of weight very quickly and could hardly eat a thing.
My doctor considered anorexia and stress.
I quit my job and slowly recovered at home. As my health returned to normal I resumed my working life.
About ten years later I started to feel ill again.
This time I thought I had cancer, like my father. I was thin, had a poor colour and was generally unwell. I felt sickly, nervous and twitchy all the time.
I started to suffer from panic attacks and was almost housebound at one point. Each diagnostic test that came back negative left me more worried and my poor husband was distraught.
The tests I underwent were for various types of cancer, a stomach ulcer and the like.
At one point I was hospitalized for ten days but the outcome was no definitive results on any health problems.
I was discharged from hospital and had a period of intermittent good health.
"I suppose I should have checked your Thyroid Gland. That was a bit remiss of me"
And those were his exact words.
So a blood test was carried out. Simple, easy and much cheaper than all of the other investigations.
At that time patients waited around ten days for blood test results.
So ten days later I finally had a diagnosis THYROTOXICOSIS, HYPERTHYROIDISM or an OVERACTIVE THYROID GLAND.
I was referred to an endocrinologist.
My doctor had already prescribed a Beta Blocker in order to ease the strain on my heart. This left me feeling calmer although not 100% better. I took this medication for a couple of months.
"I bet you thought you were going mad, didn't you?"
Well, yes, I had to agree with that.
He also told me that thyroid disorders are often passed along the female line of a family, from mothers to daughters, for example.
He thought that in the past my thyroid had swayed between over and under active which explained many of my weight problems.
The endocrinologist said that treatment with radioactive iodine was not usually given if a woman's family was not complete, due to possible ensuing fertility problems.
In the full daze of my ill health I had no idea what to say.
I just wanted to burst into tears.
It had taken a monumental effort to actually get out of my home and get to the hospital that day even though Hubby was with me all the way.
In the end the consultant took the decision out of my hands and treatment began with a pill called Carbimazole.
These tablets were very tiny and initially I took something like 20 of them a day. With regular blood tests the amount of pills was jiggled until a happy balance was achieved.
I took these pills for two years and in that time my health improved and my weight rose.
Unfortunately the tiny size I had become whilst I was ill was unsustainable but it was so nice to feel alive again.
Unfortunately I had two more episodes of overactive thyroid gland before being persuaded by the endocrinologist to undergo radioactive iodine treatment.
It seemed as if every so many years this condition would resurface especially if I was under stress.
My endocrinologist could not understand my reluctance to have the treatment. He said that if my thyroid became under active it would be less damaging to me and easier for my physician to control.
I could not explain what I was thinking as I felt foolish.
It was being told that my thyroid gland would inevitably become underactive. Visions of my poor Mum filled my head. Added to that I had the strange thought that, if what was expected happened, namely that my thyroid became underactive, and I had to take thyroxine forever, what would happen if there was something such as a war and I could not get my medication!
I underwent radio-active treatment in 1999 and within three months I became very ill.
My face swelled, my eyelids puffed over my eyes, I had lumps under my armpits and I was constantly freezing cold although it was high summer.
My thyroid had become under active but unfortunately dramatically so.
I never do things by half.
These days I only have a thyroid blood test once a year unless I start to feel any symptoms. Occasionally the amount of medication I take needs adjusting but not very often.
What finally persuaded me to have this treatment was the endocrinologist telling me that if my disorder kept reoccurring I would end up having to take Warfarin for the rest of my life.
Heart problems sounded inevitable and so I bit the bullet.
My experiences have taught me a couple of things.
Obviously symptoms may vary. It will sometimes depend on how soon your condition is diagnosed.
Diagnosis is by a simple blood test.
My local health authority treat overactive thyroid disorders with Carbimazole alone. However some physicians give thyroxine as well as this medication.
Surgery to remove all or some of the thyroid gland is a more radical treatment. It may only be offered in extreme cases.
Radioactive iodine is usually felt to be a permanent but less intrusive treatment for an overactive thyroid disorder. I was told by some that my condition could return but my doctor tells me that on the contrary this treatment resolves Thyrotoxicosis.
I attended the local hospital's nuclear medicine centre.
A liquid is injected into your arm and after a short time you undergo an Ultra Sound Scan.
Laying flat the USS takes images of your thyroid gland.
This is to check that your thyroid gland has taken in the substance and so is capable of taking in the radioactive iodine.
This Iodine is in tablet form.
It was held in a test tube and dropped straight into my mouth, without being handled. I was given an instruction leaflet in order to protect myself and my family immediately following this treatment.
For a while, afterwards, you are radioactive and must not share towels. You also need to avoid contact with children if possible.
Having said all of that the treatment does not taste of anything or make you feel unwell. Many patients find that their thyroid may go underactive within a few months and looking out for any signs and, or, symptoms is sensible.
If you have an underactive thyroid gland you will need to take a thyroxine supplement daily. The correct amount is decided upon by the results of blood tests.
In the U.K. currently prescriptions for all of your medication is free if you have a permanent thyroid condition though it is not automatic.
You will need to get a claim form for your doctor to sign. This exemption will need renewing every five years.
This has been a long read as my journey to good health took many years.
The symptoms can vary even for yourself with each medical flare up.
My final episode of hyperthyroidism had totally different symptoms to those in the past.
As I was older I put all of the changes I was experiencing down to the menopause. By the time I consulted a doctor my thyroid gland was well and truly out of control. The doctor told me that in effect this excess of thyroxine was poisoning me. No wonder I was so ill.
Some foods are thought to aggravate Thyroid problems and smoking will definitely makes matters worse which is why I quit.
Many years ago the thyroid gland and its disorders were not well understood. This meant that people were often thought to be crazy and I can believe that.
As all that is needed, to check that your thyroid gland is functioning correctly, is a simple blood test, ask for one if you have any of the typical symptoms.
It probably will be nothing but it is far better to catch such a condition sooner rather than later.
This condition misdiagnosed or undiagnosed can wreak havoc on your whole life, and yet it could be easily treat.
As it is on loan Suki I will have to ask the current person. I think though it was something like understanding your thyroid.What I liked was a) it was cheap and b) it was in plain English.
There were different scenarios showing types of cases. I read Ann's story and thought blimey that's me. This was when my symptoms were different to before.
If you ask your chemist he may be able to get you it.
Thanks for your reply Ethel - do you remember the title of the book by any chance? I find it's sometimes easier to access info on the printed page where I can mark notes on it for reference.
It is good that you have written and posted this hub. Very informative. I appreciate your efforts. And, I wish you quality health.
Suki good luck. When I was really confused I bought a basic book from my local chemist. At around £2.50 it became priceless. So many people I know have, in recent years, developed thyroid probs and this book seems to be permanently on loan to someone or other. The main advice though is if people do still not feel well, to return to the doctor for investigations. I told a work colleague this sometime ago and she pressed her doctor. It turned out she had thyroid cancer and needed urgent treatment. To this day she says that I saved her life, which of course I didn't.
Once your condition is under the appropriate treatment you should be fine Suki so try not to woryy.
I have recently been diagnosed with both under-active thyroid AND possible thyroid eye disease, confused? -well I am.
This was in the UK and now I'm moving permanently to Spain so I'm dreading having to try to get the balance of meds right when I don't speak the language fluently.
I shall investigate some of your links above to arm myself with as much info as possible.
Thanks for stopping by rmcrayne. It is amazing just how many people have these problems. Not just the disorder but the poor diagnosis and treatment. Let me know when your hubs are all completed and I will add links to this one thanks.
Ethel, thanks for bringing attention to the frustrations of thyroid disease. I was undiagnosed for years of course, before being diagnosed, but undertreated in 2003. My story later to come. That will be my part 3 of How Western Medicine Failed Me, and I am now working on part 2! In my experience, most doctors are still pretty uneducated in thyroid disease. I got the "crazy treatment", and I'm a (non-physician) medical provider myself. I was shocked to be treated so dismissively. I was certain that I was under-treated for thyroid, and was right of course. After several years with no satisfaction from physicians, I turned to Alternative Medicine providers. My favorite resources are Mary Shoman and drrind.com.
Thanks guys. Hello-if you still feel unwell ask to have your bloods checked again. Some people's, like mine, swing about a bit before settling over or under.
Yes Ioua. I hope other people are diagnosed more quickly than I was.
I guess the rule of thimb should be if you still do not feel well go back to the doctor, and insist on further tests etc.
I was diagnosed with under active thyroids and they kept sending me to scans and blood tests. Then all over sudden they said I haven't got it but I think I still got it. My mother also had problems with thyroids and I don't know which one.
Anyway, that is enough of me. Thank you for writing such a detailed article.

El Salvador: Dual Crackdowns Raise Questions
By Fulton Armstrong
Photo Credits: Presidencia El Salvador and Departamento de Seguridad Pública OEA (modified) / Flickr / Creative Commons
Salvadoran President Sánchez Cerén's months-long crackdown on gangs has broadened into a crackdown on proponents of negotiations with them. Upon orders of Attorney General Meléndez, 18 former officials involved in the past truce (covering two periods in 2012-2014) have been arrested, among them a principal mediator, former FMLN Congressman Raúl Mijango. Three others, including the former head of prisons, are on the run. Meléndez claims that the recent passage of legislation outlawing negotiations with gangs was not a factor, and that the detainees are not being held for their role negotiating the previous truce, but rather for violations of laws in place during the truce. They are accused of "dereliction of duty," "illicit association," smuggling mobile phones into prisons, and possible misuse of US$2 million for truce implementation. Meléndez said the government-gang pact "was not illegal" and he noted that it did help reduce reported murders, but he has asserted that it gave rise to disappearances and other violence, and allowed the gangs to re-arm and consolidate their control in some sectors.
The campaign against pro-dialogue voices has left several prominent players untouched. The government has distanced itself from the activities of current Interior Minister Arístides Valencia, whose taped conversations with gangs have been revealed by the media, but he has been neither fired nor arrested. Former Security Minister (and current Defense Minister) David Munguía is widely seen as the principal architect of the previous truce (securing essential cover from the Church for it), but he too remains in place. Munguía's name is prominent in Meléndez's report, according to press accounts, but the Attorney General said that he lacks evidence of his involvement in wrongdoing. Paolo Luers of El Diario de Hoy (himself a secret negotiator in 2012) and others are severely criticizing the lack of charges against Munguía while others, whom they call "political prisoners," are detained.
Meanwhile, the government is deploying elite joint Army-Police units to hunt down alleged gang members in the countryside, amid growing unconfirmed reports of human rights violations. The Office of the Human Rights Ombudsman has identified 13 cases of extrajudicial killings in two operations last year.
The recent arrests have caused debate to flare over the costs and benefits of the past truce and any future agreements with the gangs – as well as the efficacy of the mano dura approach. The crackdown on advocates of negotiations and the simultaneous emerging signs of death squad operations could threaten the credibility of the Sánchez Cerén government's El Salvador Seguro strategy, which entails an array of efforts requiring political agreement on how to address the violence crisis. Amidst mounting concern about the implications of the police and army crackdown on gangs, Washington has kept a low profile on these developments. If current trends continue, however, the dual crackdowns could potentially raise doubts about the Administration's ability to meet the human rights and other conditions that the U.S. Congress has put on the Alliance for Prosperity under which El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras have agreed to form and execute a common strategy against violence and other problems in Central America's northern triangle.

Built on a palm fringed island surrounded by Moremi's game rich seasonal flood plains and overlooking Chief's Island, sits Moremi Crossing, a short scenic 20 minute flight from Maun or 90 minutes from Kisane. Clients get to the camp either by mokoro or boat.
Moremi Crossing is a 16 tented camp which proudly boasts that it is a 100% eco-friendly development featuring the latest in solar and waste disposal technology. From June to August, when the flood levels are high, it gives the best opportunities for boat and canoe safaris. From September to October, when the climate is hot and dry, it is particularly good for game viewing as the thirsty animals congregate around the banks of the river.
As Moremi Crossing is a water based camp, it offers a wide variety of animal and bird species. Walks on Chief's Island give you the opportunity to get a better view of not just the big animals but the smaller insects and birds that contribute to the Okavango's vast ecosystem. On the mokoro's you get to see the water birds like African jacanas and African fish eagles and if you look carefully you will see the malakite kingfishers darting between the reeds. There is also a chance that your guide will find the rare pel's fishing owl.
Explore the wilderness with guided bush tours and become part of the bustling river life along the papyrus clad banks of the Okavango Delta or you could just sit back and absorb the scenery from a traditional 'Mokoro' canoe. Another great way to explore the crystal clear channels is by motor boat or if you feel like it then fishing is also an option.
Watch the sun set whilst drifting along a lagoon and sipping on Sundowners or if you are more adventurous there is a rustic island camping experience. This involves packing up a mokoro with camping equipment and going with a professional guide out into the Delta for a night or two. It's a magical experience and a good way to get close to the birds and animals that the Delta has to offer.
Luxury accommodation is offered in 16 new-style vintage safari tents, each with its own private raised wooden deck and magical views over the Boro River on to Chief's Island. All meru tents are large and airy with en-suite bathrooms consisting of shower and toilet and include family and honeymoon tents (which has an outside bath)!
The central mess area houses a large open plan deck that has spectacular far reaching views over the Boro River onto Chief's Island. This half-moon shaped area is built on different levels to give you the feeling of space. Dining room, bar and lounge is covered by a large thatched roof that hugs the ancient riverine tree line and accentuates its most beautiful assets. Various small private lounge areas are created for comfort, privacy and spaciousness. Within the tree line you will find a nice shaded decked area that leads to the pool.
Rates fully inclusive of accommodation, all meals, locally branded beverages, activities, park fees and laundry.

In June, the Council produces an Annual Report of its activities for the preceding year. This includes an overview of the year from the Chairman of the Council for that year, and reports from each of the Portfolio Holders and Committee Chairmen. A Summary of the Council's accounts for the year just ended is also included, as well as contact details for all Councillors.
The Annual Report is distributed inside the Holme Valley Review newspaper. If you would like a hard copy, please contact the Clerk and one can be posted to you. Alternatively, the latest copy can be downloaded by clicking here Annual Report 2018-19 Part 1 and Annual Report 2018-19 Part 1.
Last year's edition can be downloaded by clicking here Annual Report 2017-18.
90% of the Council's planned expenditure will be funded by its precept. Formulating the budget is, therefore, crucial to its day-to-day operations. Without adequate funding, the Council will not be able to meet its financial obligations.
The Budget is prepared by the Council's Responsible Financial Officer, following discussions by each of the Committees. Recommendations are then made to the full Council and the Council, as a corporate body, takes the formal decision to approve and adopt the Budget.
The current year's Budget (2019-20) was approved at the Council meeting on Monday, 4 February 2019, when the Parish Council also approved its Precept Demand to be made to Kirklees Council. Details of the Budget/Precept 2019-20 can be downloaded by clicking here Annual Budget 2019-20.
The Council has the power to levy a tax on property owners and residents within the parish. This tax is referred to as the parish precept and is based on the Parish Council's budget for the next financial year.
The amount of the precept must be submitted to the principal authority (also known as the billing authority), i.e. Kirklees Council, in early February every year. Kirklees Council undertakes the calculations and the Parish Council's precept is included in the overall Council Tax bill sent to householders and residents (who do not have to be registered electors). It is the duty of Kirklees Council to ensure that all those eligible to vote are registered, because having a large number of unregistered residents can cause a distortion in the calculations.
Once the Parish Council has prepared its budget, the precept figure will be the difference between the Council's forecast expenditure, less its forecast income and use of any reserves.
At the heart of the calculations by Kirklees Council is the concept of the Band D households and the Council Tax Base. The Kirklees Council website and accompanying documentation explains how the Council Tax is calculated – Parish Precepts 2019-20 – but the Council Tax Base for the Holme Valley in 2018-19 was 9630.95. The Council Tax Base is calculated by Kirklees Council by equating the number of Band D equivalent properties in each Parish/Area after taking into account such things as the number of properties in each band during the year (i.e. including the results of changes and appeals), disabled relief, discounts and exemptions, provision for bad or doubtful debts, and allowance for growth). The Tax Base figures are expressed as Band D equivalents in accordance with the relevant regulations. This means that a property in Band B will be expressed as being equivalent to 7/9ths of a Band D property, whilst a property in Band H will be expressed as two Band D properties. Kirklees Council sets a Council Tax payable for a property in Band D and properties in other bands therefore pay the appropriate proportion of that amount.
It should be noted that the number of Band D equivalent properties will vary each year, as a result of new homes being built and old ones being demolished. The number is also affected by the levels of people eligible for discounts (e.g. disability relief).
It must also be noted that the Band D or equivalent charge is per property, not per person. In 2018-19, the charge for a Band D property is £22.50, so every property in the Holme Valley pays an additional £22.50 per annum on their Council Tax, to pay for services provided by the Parish Council.
All additional funds are specifically identified to support community assets in the Valley.
Local Government Transparency Code
The Smaller Authorities Transparency Code came into force on 1 April 2015 and requires the online publication of certain information to provide taxpayers with a clear picture of the authority's activities, spending and governance. However, the Code only applies to smaller authorities with a turnover not exceeding £25,000 (where turnover is defined as the higher of an authority's gross income for the year and its gross expenditure for the year). The Code does not, therefore, apply to Holme Valley Parish Council, but the Council already publishes a vast amount of information on this website, all in accordance with its own Financial Regulations and statutory proper practices.

In May 2011, Somerset and its joint venture partner, THC Affordable Housing, Inc., completed the historic renovation of Fort View Apartments. Formerly known as Fort Stevens Place Apartments, these once vacant buildings are located in Ward 4 adjacent to the historic Fort Stevens Park. The apartment complex has been renamed Fort View Apartments, which was its original name. Built in 1939, Fort View was designed by George Santmyers, a well-known architect in Washington, DC and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the development team. The property has been restored to its historic character and has been preserved as affordable housing for 62 families with a range of incomes, turning what were once blighted buildings into a vibrant, new community asset.
In cooperation with the DC Housing Authority, the property is providing permanent housing with supportive services for 18 formerly homeless families who have successfully graduated from transitional housing programs. On-site resident services provided by Transitional Housing Corporation assures their successful tenancies in this workforce housing complex.
The redevelopment of Fort View provided upgrades in its infrastructure and safety standards provided new landscaping and lighting, and common spaces. In meeting the City's green building environmental standards, all environmental hazards were remediated and energy efficiency was vastly improved. New community spaces, a computer lab and an on-site management office have been built and the historic character of the building has been preserved.
The financing for the acquisition and redevelopment was provided by DC Housing Finance Agency's New Issue Bond Program sponsored by the U.S. Treasury with credit enhancement from Freddie Mac. Enterprise Community Investment, Inc. was the syndicator of the Low Income Housing Tax Credits and Historic Tax Credits, and Bank of America was the construction lender. The DC Department of Community Development provided a loan through the federal TCAP (Tax Credit Assistance Program) and the Community Development Block Grant. The DC Housing Authority provided a capital grant through its Local Rent Supplement Program and is providing rent subsidy in support of 18 families on site. Transitional Housing Corporation is implementing a robust program of resident services.

Inviting people to check out your presentation is a critically important skill to develop.
Depending on how well you know the person you're inviting and what your relationship to them is, you're going to want to use different Network Marketing scripts.
But before we get into the exact wording of what you want to say in your invite scripts, here's a free Facebook Recruiting Workshop that you will want to attend if you want to start generating leads for your Network Marketing business ASAP.
The trap that a lot of Network Marketers fall into – especially when they're new – is to start pitching their products and opportunity in their MLM invite scripts.
And when people do that, the intent is to give your prospect more reasons to say yes to the invite and to get them excited about what you're doing and also to pre-sell them.
Unfortunately, doing this always has the opposite effect. All it does is RAISE resistance. And in your MLM invite scripts, you want to do everything you can to lower resistance and make it easy for them to say yes to the invite.
When you give people parts of your presentation during your invite scripts without them being able to see the entire presentation, what it will do is set off a bunch of red flags in their minds.
If you give your prospect some of the details (even just the best ones) without them seeing the full presentation, they're going to fill in all of the gaps with their preconceived ideas of what your opportunity is about.
In other words, their imaginations will run wild with everything you don't want them to think.
Because what most people who don't know what Network Marketing is will think about is "Pyramid Scheme", "Scam", "I don't want to sell", "no one makes money at this", etc.
They'll start thinking of all the reasons they don't want to do what you're doing because they don't have all of the details about what your opportunity is really about.
The best Network Marketing invite scripts have only two goals. One is to lower resistance as much as possible, and two is to set up an appointment.
Any selling or convincing that you try to do during your Network Marketing scripts will be counterproductive to those two goals.
There are a few rules to always follow with your MLM Scripts.
You want to be in a hurry because this lowers resistance and it discourages questions.
This isn't completely necessary for your closest friends that you talk to on a daily basis. But when you're talking to someone who's not close to you, you want to give them a compliment. This goes a long way to lower resistance and make it easy for them to say yes.
Don't be vague with your plans. Being vague will just result in you chasing after people and looking desperate, and that's never good.
And that's it. You can mix it up a bit and say, "I've got something big I want to show you" or "I want to show you my newest project".
It's ok to raise a little curiosity, but whatever you do, don't tell them what it's about.
MLM Scripts – What If They Ask What It's About?
Ok…so if you raise some curiosity, they're going to ask what it's about. So how do you handle that?
MLM Scripts – But What If They REALLY Want To Know What It Is?
Don't tell them. If they're insisting that you tell them what it is, then all they're doing is looking for a reason to say no.
And if that's the case, then why put yourself into a position where you have to plead and beg for them to say yes?
MLM Scripts – But What If They Say NO?!?
Come back to them later. It's more important that you keep your posture and act like a confident, successful entrepreneur rather than give up your posture and start begging and pleading and chasing after people. Here's a great article that explains exactly why.
If you want a complete resource full of Network Marketing Invite Scripts examples, this book is the absolute best resource to get.
If you want to start learning how to get more sales and sign ups into your business, then this Free Recruiting Workshop is what you want to go through next.

Heinz Werner (psychologist)
peoplepill id: heinz-werner-4
Austrian psychologist
Intro Austrian psychologist
Was Psychologist Educator
From Austria United States of America
Type Academia Healthcare
Birth 11 February 1890, Vienna, Austria
Death 14 May 1964, Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, U.S.A. (aged 74 years)
Heinz Werner (February 11, 1890 – May 14, 1964) was a developmental psychologist who also studied perception, aesthetics, and language.
Werner was born to Emilie Klauber Werner and Leopold Werner, who was a manufacturer by trade. He was the second of four children, and the first-born son. His father died when he was four, leaving his mother to raise the children. The family; however, did not suffer financially due to provision being made.
Both Werner's elementary and high school education was received in Vienna. He had several interests throughout school, including music, particularly the violin, and the sciences. At the age of 10 he became particularly interested in books containing information about the theory of Evolution. These would be the interests that shape his university experiences.
Werner entered Technische Hochschule, a German technical university, in 1908 with the intention of becoming an engineer. A year later, in 1909, Werner realized that this was not desire, and transferred to the University of Vienna with a new plan to become a composer and music historian. While at The University, Werner was exposed to a variety of new materials, and found that he was increasingly interested in philosophy and psychology. From 1912-1913, Werner published multiple articles, including "A Genetic Table of Conceptual Forms", his first article. His dissertation was "The Psychology of Esthetic Enjoyment", for which he was awarded a Ph.D. and graduated summa cum laude in 1914.
Following graduation, Werner remained at the University as an assistant, working with Sigmund Exner at the University's Institute of Physiology. From 1914-1917, following a short-term military service involvement, he conducted research, both at the University of Munich and University of Vienna. This research included rhythmic factors in perception and created melodies by children aged 2.5–5 years of age. In 1917, he became a Research Assistant to William Stern at the Psychological Institute at Hamburg. Eventually, in 1921, he was given the position of Privatdozent at University of Hamburg; a position that he remained in for twelve years.
Although involved in many disciplines at the University, Werner's the majority of his work fell into perception (including problems with perception), development, and aesthetic-expressive factors in speech. During his time at the University he was productive in his research, publishing several articles in these fields, and simultaneously carried the title of co-editor of the Zeitschrift für Psychologie. He left the position at Hamburg due to the Nazis in 1933, eventually moving to the United States to accept a position at the University of Michigan.
Later life
For three years, Werner was funded by a grant at the University of Michigan. For a brief year, Werner accepted a position as a visiting professor at Harvard, but returned to Michigan the following year as a senior research psychologist at the Wayne County Training School. While at these two positions, Werner's work remained spread across several interests including: contour, metacontrast, binocular perception of depth, aesthetics, and developmental comparisons between normal functioning children and children with mental retardation. Following the death of his wife, he left the University for his first teaching position in the United States at Brooklyn College working on the effects of brain damage in 1942. Five years later, he left the University to take a more prestigious position at Clark University in the Department of Psychology and Education. His research at the University, as many of his other positions, focused primarily on perception and language, and collaborated with his colleagues Seymour Wapner and Bernard Kaplan on several projects. This was the position he held for the longest, remaining at the University for 17 years.
Awards -1955: Ford Foundation Grant of $5,000 -1956: Elected to Clark chapter of Phi Beta Kappa Society -1956: Membership to American Academy of Arts and Sciences -1957 Awarded title of Ordentlicher Professor Emeritus at University of Hamburg
-1960 Awarded title of Professor Emeritus at Clark University
Distancing is a concept arising from the work of developmental psychologists Heinz Werner and Bernard Kaplan to describe the process of establishing a subject's individuality and identity as an essential phase in coming to terms with symbols, referential language and eventually full cognition and linguistic communication. Werner and Kaplan's work was later expanded and edified into more refined therapeutic practice by the pioneer in deaf-blind patient therapy, Dr. Jan Van Dijk, and later refined by the work of Dr. Susan Bruce.
