Improved Water Consumption at the Sishen TSF Complex
The Sishen Iron Ore Mine is located approximately 50km southwest of Kuruman in the Northern Cape Province, in South Africa. This is an open pit mine and it is impractical for the tailings to be deposited in the workings. The existing Sishen tailings dam complex was built in the 1970s and is located to the north of the plant.
Currently, tailings material is being deposited on four individual tailings dams. Decant water from each tailings dam is transferred into two seepage sumps via gravity penstock decant systems and returned back to the Sishen plant. The water balance and water recovery system is not optimized and the dams are used only randomly to store storm rainfall and excess process water.
As part of the Sishen Expansion Project (SEP), a separate process plant will be established and the water recovery system will be improved. Tailings material will be disposed of in the cross area, in between the current four individual tailings dams. One leg of the cross area will be closed off at a time and filled with SEP tailings materials. The four legs of the cross area will be filled over approximately 10 to 12 years.
Once the cross area is filled to the level of the four individual tailings dams, the dams and filled area will be consolidated into one single dam with four operating paddocks as a means to improve water recovery. The method of tailings disposal and dam operation remains the same.
A return water dam will be constructed as part of the SEP. It will consist of an operating compartment capable of containing 5 days' operational storage. Any runoff water from an extreme rainfall event (1:50-year 24-hour rainfall) will be contained on top of the tailings dams and decanted in the shortest period possible.
Weather Data: The mean annual precipitation for the Sishen area is approximately 354mm, which is extremely low. The majority of rainfall occurs during the summer months of January, February and March, whilst the lowest rainfall occurs during June, July and August.
Modified Deposition Strategy: The deposition strategy will focus on two distinct phases: namely, dam development before consolidation, which will involve the operation of five individual dams, and dam development after consolidation, with a consolidated dam divided into four paddocks.
During pre-consolidation, the four individual dams and the legs of the cross area will undergo partial consolidation in phases. Since the current four individual dams will necessarily increase in height as the cross area is filled up, the waste rock containment walls to be installed will also increase in height.
During post consolidation, both the Sishen and SEP plants will deposit tailings on the consolidated dam.
Improved Water Recovery: During future tailings dam operations, the emphasis will be on the recovery and return of water back to the plant, with these considerations:
• The pool on any leg of the cross area should not exceed 5 to 7% of the facility's surface area. This will help reduce evaporation losses
• The return water dam has been designed to operate only as a water holding facility for operational purposes. No standby compartment to contain runoff from an extreme storm has been allowed for. The runoff on top of the tailings dams will be decanted in the shortest time possible. At all times, freeboard on the tailings dams should conform to legal requirements
After optimization measures and additions to the SEP plant are completed, water consumption at the complex should be reduced significantly.

Readability of Cervical Cancer Information
Subjects: Health Care Sciences & Services
Tsuyoshi Okuhara
It is important to provide information on HPV vaccination and on early detection and early treatment for cervical cancer. Readability is a key aspect in the success of cervical cancer communication using written health information.
More than 570,000 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed and approximately 311,000 women die from the disease annually worldwide [1]. The main cause of cervical cancer is infection with human papillomavirus (HPV). Most cervical cancers can be prevented by vaccination against HPV infection and are curable if detected early in the precancerous stage via screening. It is therefore important to provide people with the information that cervical cancer is a preventable and curable disease and that measures are available for its prevention and early detection. Such HPV vaccination and cervical cancer-related information is often provided as written text in print [2] and as digital media [3]. However, such health information is often written at a level of readability that is difficult for many target audiences to read [4].
Health literacy is "the degree to which individuals have the capacity to obtain, process, and understand basic health information" [5]. A lower level of health literacy is associated with lower vaccination adoption rates and cancer screening adoption rates owing to difficulty with comprehension of the information and complex procedures that are needed to adopt vaccination and screening [6][7]. In the study of health literacy, accessibility and understandability of health information are generally discussed in terms of readability [8]. Health information should be readable to all individuals, regardless of their literacy level. It is recommended that patient educational materials should be written at a fifth- to sixth-grade level or lower [9].
Readability is the reading comprehension level required for a person to understand written materials [10]. Some existing readability assessment tools in English include the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook Grade Level (SMOG), Flesch–Kincaid Grade Level (FKGL) test, Flesch–Kincaid Reading Ease (FRE) test, Fry Readability Graph (FRG), and Gunning Fog Index (GFI) [11][12]. Validated readability assessment tools are also available in other languages such as French [13], German [14], and Spanish [15]. These tools can be used to assess the readability of written text based on factors such as the number of words in a sentence and word difficulty level.
Studies indicate that the readability of information can influence individuals' understanding and behavior regarding prevention, early detection, and early treatment of cervical cancer. For example, one intervention study showed that participants who were given easy-to-read vaccine information had significantly higher scores of comprehension and recall than those who were given standard materials to read (16.6 vs. 13.9, p < 0.001, 15.1 vs. 11.3, p < 0.001, respectively) [16]. Another intervention study showed that participants who received materials that were rated easier to read using a readability assessment tool had higher rates of undergoing gynecologic cancer screening than those who received materials that were rated less easy to read (29.4% vs. 14.2%, p = 0.007) [17]. Thus, readability is considered an essential quality in the evaluation of HPV vaccination and cervical cancer-related information.
2. Study Characteristics
Table 1 provides an overview of the included studies. Seven studies were conducted in the United States [18][19][20][21][22][23][24], three in Canada [25][26][27] one in China [28], and one in Japan [29]. Ten studies conducted in the United States and Canada assessed materials in English; the other two studies assessed materials in Chinese or Japanese language. Regarding content, eight studies assessed HPV vaccination information [18][20][21][22][26][27][28][29]; four assessed cervical cancer information [19][23][24][25]. Regarding format, eight studies assessed online information and websites [18][19][20][22][25][26][28][29]; one assessed printed HPV vaccination counseling materials [21]; one assessed patient consent forms for radiation therapy for cervical cancer [23], one assessed newspaper articles regarding HPV vaccines [27], and one study assessed written materials on cervical cancer prevention [24]. Regarding providers, eight studies reported on informational materials provided by commercial websites [25][28] governments [20][26], gynecologic oncology groups [23], health professionals and non-health professionals [29], national newspapers [27], and multiple sources [24]. The number of materials evaluated in the included studies ranged from 4 to 4928.

Assessment of Factors Other than Readability
Wang et al. [28] 2021 China Chinese Calculated using word levels and character numbers in sentences HPV vaccine-related online messages (294) Most (92%) messages were from commercial websites. The readability level of 71% of messages were rated at doctoral level, and 20% were undergraduate level. There were biases in the content of the message. Only 55% of messages had no errors. Regarding the DISCERN scores, only one message (<1%) had good quality.
Dawson et al. [25] 2020 Canada English SMOG, FKGL, Cervical cancer-related online information (100) 42% of websites were commercial, followed by those of non-profit organizations, government, and academic centers. More than 95% of websites were at a high school reading level (8th grade) or higher. Many lacked accountability or recent updates. Usability and interactivity were high. Important topics such as prognosis and staging were underrepresented.
MacLean et al. [18] 2019 United States English SMOG, FKGL, FRE, GFI, CLI, HPV vaccination websites (100) Not reported 75% of websites rated difficult to read (>10th grade). Only a few websites were rated easy to read (<6th grade). None
Martin et al. [19] 2019 United States English SMOG, FKGL, GFI, DC Cervical cancer patient education online materials (4928) Not reported Mean grade-level readability was 8.9, i.e., a high school reading level. None
Tulsieram et al. [26] 2018 Canada English SMOG, GFI Provincial department/Ministry of Health HPV information websites (7) Provincial governments Most (six of seven provinces) websites were rated as difficult to read (>12th grade). Text coherence was not adequate for lay individuals to understand.
Calo et al. [20] 2018 United States English SMOG, FKGL, GFI, CLI, ARI HPV vaccination messages online (267) Government, medical association, Medscape, medical journals, educational clearinghouses The readability level of most materials (62%) was ≥9th grade. Only 12% were easy to read (≤6th grade). None
Chhabra et al. [21] 2018 United States English SMOG, FKGL, FRE, GFI, FRG HPV vaccination counseling print materials (38) State government Four documents (10.5%) were at a 6th-grade reading level or lower, and 15 documents (39.5%) at a 10th-grade or higher reading level. 68% of materials were categorized as "unsuitable" with the SAM. Mean PEMAT score was 42%, which was much lower than the threshold for high understandability.
Okuhara et al. [29] 2017 Japan Japanese jReadability Pro-and anti-HPV vaccination online messages (270) Health professionals and non-health professionals Pro-vaccination messages were difficult to read. Anti-vaccination messages were significantly easier to read than pro-vaccination messages. None
Fu et al. [22] 2016 United States English FKGL Critical and noncritical HPV vaccination web pages (116) Not reported Most web pages required a 12th-grade reading level. None
MacDougall et al. [23] 2012 United States English SMOG Patient consent forms for radiation therapy for cervical cancer (4) Gynecologic oncology group Readability ranged from grades 12.18 to 16.13; required at least a high school education. Three of four consent forms scored in the lower portion of the "adequate" range, and one consent
Form was "not suitable" using the SAM.
Abdelmutti and Hoffman-Goetz [27] 2009 Canada English SMOG Newspaper articles on HPV vaccines (164) National newspapers The readability of the article rated as inadequate (>8th-grade level). None
Helitzer et al. [24] 2009 United States English FRG Cervical cancer prevention written materials (69) Web-based fact sheets, magazine articles, advertisements, health system forms, books, newspaper articles Most materials were written at too high a readability level. The mean reading level was 11th grade. 20% of materials were rated "superior," 68% were "adequate," and 12% were "not suitable" using the SAM and comprehensibility assessment.

3. Readability Assessment
As Table 1 shows, the 10 studies assessing English materials used the SMOG, FKGL, FRE, GFI, FRG, Dale–Chall formula, Coleman–Liau Index, and the Automated Readability Index to assess readability. Six of ten studies assessing English materials used multiple readability assessment tools. The most frequently used readability formulas were the SMOG and FKGL, which were used in eight and six studies, respectively. Japanese texts were assessed using a readability formula called the jReadability. Readability of Chinese texts was assessed using word levels and character numbers in sentences.
All 10 studies from the United States and Canada reported that most of the information assessed was higher than eighth-grade reading level [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27]. These studies showed that there was little information on HPV vaccination and cervical cancer written at the recommended fifth- to sixth-grade level or lower. A study from China reported that 71% of HPV vaccine-related messages were rated at a doctoral readability level and 20% were at undergraduate level [28]. A study from Japan reported that pro-HPV vaccination messages were significantly more difficult to read than anti-HPV vaccination messages [29].
4. Other Factors
As Table 1 shows, six studies reported the characteristics of informational materials, other than readability levels [21][23][24][25][26][28]. Three studies used the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM) [21][23][24]. One of those three studies used the SAM to evaluate patient consent forms to receive radiation therapy for cervical cancer; that study reported that three of the four consent forms scored within the lower portion of the "adequate" range, and one consent form was deemed "not suitable" [23]. One of those three studies evaluated HPV vaccination counseling print materials using the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) in addition to the SAM. That study reported that 68% of materials were categorized as "not suitable" using the SAM, and the average PEMAT score was 42%, well below the threshold for high understandability [21]. One of those three studies evaluated comprehensibility of written cervical cancer prevention materials combined with assessment using the SAM. That study reported that 20% of materials were rated "superior," 68% were "adequate," and 12% were "not suitable" [24]. One study conducted content evaluation and used the DISCERN score to evaluate HPV vaccine-related online messages: that study reported biases and inaccuracies in content and less than 1% of messages were ranked of good quality [28]. One study evaluated accountability, site interactivity and organization, content coverage, and content accuracy of cervical cancer-related online information. That study reported that much of the evaluated information lacked accountability or recent updates and that important topics, such as prognosis and staging, were underrepresented [25]. One study evaluated text coherence of HPV information websites and reported that HPV vaccine information had a lower level of coherence than that needed for the general public [26].

You can also compete against or work together with your loved ones with an Annual Tree Decorating Challenge. You can decorate your tree with virtual goodies through the power of AR and then judge who has the best one. You also get some new Christmas Cheer stickers so that your holiday videos can be more festive. And of course, the tradition of sending postcards or greeting cards can still continue, but this time it's a virtual one.
There is no news yet if Playground will eventually roll out to non-Pixel devices or if it's still strictly for Google-made smartphones. But if you have a Pixel device, go ahead and enjoy all of these for us.


Please join Giant Robot, the Coalition of Asian Pacifics in Entertainment & the Japanese American National Museum to the inaugural Legacy Series with special guest Daniel Dae Kim.
Through the diversity of his roles on stage and screen, Daniel Dae Kim continues to expand our perceptions of the Asian American man. In characters ranging from the King of Siam, a Shakespearean hero, a social worker for the Chicago needy, to a counter terrorist agent, his work has consistently proven to transcend the historical barriers of race and stereotype.
Daniel's most recent work on ABC's "Lost," is no exception. As Jin Soo Kwon, a Korean businessman and reluctant enforcer for his father-in-law, his character transformed from an overprotective "traditional" husband to a man who re-learns how to live and love. His portrayal of this multi-faceted character signaled a breakthrough for primetime network television, and has helped make Lost a worldwide hit since its debut in 2004.
Since then, both Daniel and the show have been widely recognized for their excellence. Sharing a 2006 Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Ensemble, the Korean American actor's universal appeal was also recognized by "People" Magazine, which named him one of the 'Sexiest Men Alive' in 2005, as well as "TV Guide," which recognized him as one of 'TV's Sexiest Men' in 2006. In that same year, Daniel was individually honored with an AZN Asian Excellence Award, a Multicultural Prism Award and a Vanguard Award from the Korean American Coalition, all for Outstanding Performance by an Actor. In 2009, his recognition continues with the prestigious KoreAm Journal Achievement Award in the field of Arts and Entertainment.

Q: Windows 7: Server disappearing from Network window I am running a small (three computer) network on a Windows Server 2003 domain. All of the computers were just upgraded to Windows 7. Since the upgrade, the icon for the domain server periodically disappears from the Network window on all three computers. It doesn't happen at the same time on all computers--the icon typically disappears from one machine, but not the others. And it's not always the same computer. The network connection is still there--I can type \\myserver and get to the network shares. It's simply the icon that's disappearing.
Any suggestions for a fix?

A: I would look to DNS.
Is the Windows Server 2003 their DNS server.  If so, how are the network adapter settings configured on the Windows 7 machines?
On the server does it 'hold' the DNS record for the Windows 7 clients.
Are their problems with domain being not xyz, but xyz.local?

It also presents new ways of conceptualizing the relationship between the everyday and the pursuit of the extraordinary through sport. Drawing on insights from sociology, gender, masculinity studies and sports studies, this book will be of interest to a broad range of students and researchers in these areas. New paperback.

Reclaiming Childhood
Media Comment
Bill Wiseman
Oil on canvas 2008
Elected to House of Representatives 1974-80.
Responsible for Lethal Injection Bill 1977
As a young state legislator, Bill Wiseman voted against his conscience for the return of the death penalty. He later drafted the bill that made Oklahoma the first jurisdiction in the world to adopt lethal injection as a means of execution. The method has since been adopted by 37 of the 38 death-penalty states.
Bill slouched back in the armchair of his book-lined sitting room and apologised for the mess around him. Every available surface was laden with yet more books. As we talked about his time as a legislator in the 70s I could sense the conflict as his moral, intellectual and philosophical mind, steeped in academia and the theology of his childhood, cried out for him to vote against the death penalty while his love of his job pushed him to vote in favour. After making an impassioned speech against it, he hit the green button to vote for the death penalty to return.
Even the passing of over thirty years had not removed his sense of regret at his action. To appease his conscience he tried to humanise the process as the electric chair and gas chamber both resulted in terrible descriptions of flailing bodies and scorched corpses. Doctors refused to help him, citing the Hippocratic Oath, so he set about finding a method based on the process used to put his dog to sleep.
The system involves three injections: the first to anaesthetise, the second to paralyse to stop the body jerking violently, and the third to stop the heart. This new system was welcomed throughout the death penalty states and Bill was now left with the extra guilt that by making execution more acceptable he had inadvertently increased the number of executions ordered.
Bill dismissed recent concerns over the cruelty of his system as the fault of incompetent administration. He did accept that the use of non-medical staff, inadequate dosing and the difficulty of finding a vein, had meant a horrifically painful death for some inmates.
In later years Bill followed in his father's footsteps and became an ordained Minister. When I heard just six months later that he had been tragically killed in a plane crash, I could only hope that he had at last achieved the absolution of his own conscience and a final sense of peace.
Part of the interview with Bill Wiseman is available to listen to below but the quality may be poor so please click the button for the transcript.
"I made a…passionate speech against it, sat down and hit the green button. I mean I told them I didn't want to vote, but I said, 'I'm gonna vote for this thing, 'cause I'm afraid not to, but I know this is a bad idea'. And I did feel terrible about this."
"The problem happens, if you don't give them enough barbiturate they're gonna feel the pain of the potassium chloride, but they can't let you know that they feel the pain. And that's terrifying, I mean, and that happened!"
Please feel free to ask any questions or to request a commission.

What do you do when you have a gorgeous antique German (or could be French) metal chair with a missing metal leg?
I mentioned this back on here in May, when I sold it's sister chair that was in far better condition with four legs! CLICK HERE TO VIEW. This chair still has some of the remaining gilt and black colour on the metal frame. Plus the seat pad is original and believed to be silk, but as you can see it is highly worn and has a stain. But you know, I just think this all adds to the character of the chair now...and is fabulous!
Meanwhile, does this broken chair sit in a box for ever more or worse, chucked away? Or does one do something with it so that it can be loved once again. Well I chose the latter...of course!
Ok, this is not going to appeal to the purists out there and that is fine, I fully understand that.
But as like my beautiful massive real life size squidgy sofa in my real life size lounge that has a broken foot which is currently propped up by several books (I kid you not - long story involving me and my cat Mollie very late one night)....I have created some of my old looking imitation books to prop the metal chair up so that it actually stands now.
Maybe it could sit in an old dolls house attic, drawing room or library room? I am so chuffed with the result that I have been so very tempted to keep it. At the moment it is up for sale, but if it doesn't sell very soon...I think temptation may get the better of me:) Can be seen for sale on the LIVING & DINING ROOM PAGE.
And similarly....what do you do when you have a gorgeous rare soft metal bed that is in several pieces and obviously missing two legs, at the very least? Does this stay in a box for evermore too or chucked? Like the chair, this was just too beautiful for either of those outcomes so I decided I had to act now and bring it back to life. As you can see, it still has the original fabric stuffed mattress, albeit rather grubby.
So, after a little bit of research I discovered that this most probably would have started out life as an ornate and very valuable half tester bed, with four long spindly decorative legs and a headboard that extended upwards into a decorative gilt coronet with drapes!
Hmm...it has taken me a while to figure out what to do with it. I wanted to do it justice, as it is rather old, probably late 1800s, very early 1900s and believed to be of German origin?
My first task was to bend back all soft metal bits where possible, with fine pliers and glue the bedhead and side panels back into place, so too some of the metal struts on the mattress base.
Once all glued together I realised that the remaining stumps down the left side of the bed from the original long ornate legs, would actually suffice as tiny legs in their own right. However, the other side of the bed was a different matter and was in desperate need of some sort of support.
After much pondering and head scratching, I decided that the best course of action was to use my miniature handmade books again, as with the chair.
The footboard support ended up being a lot trickier than anticipated and needed more support, hence I ended up using an additional pile of books glued in front of the footboard. Am rather pleased with the result.
As with the chair, I am so very tempted to keep this but I really do not have a big enough space at this moment of time in any of my dolls houses...so for the moment it is up for sale and hope that someone somewhere can give this a new loving home. Can be seen for sale on the BEDROOM PAGE.
I ADORE your chair and your solution regarding the missing leg! I also like the means in which you have repaired the bed too!
Are they both 12th scale Celia?
I DO love how Perfectly Imperfect they are especially with those books for legs, but the chair still a bit too small for where I would want it.
Oh I love what you have done with these precious pieces to give them life. Well done matie!

Altman Siegel is pleased to present Trevor Paglen's third solo exhibition at the gallery. The exhibition is comprised of recent photographs, videos, and a major new sculptural work entitled Autonomy Cube.
"The metaphors we use to understand mass surveillance and the Internet tend to be very abstract, and often mystifying. Words like "cyberspace", the cloud, the information superhighway perpetrate an image of the Internet as something placeless yet ubiquitous, immaterial yet omnipresent. These metaphors are deeply misleading." – Trevor Paglen
Trevor Paglen's new work focuses on the everyday material reality of the Internet and mass data surveillance. An inconspicuously elegant photograph of the nearby Point Arena coastline depicts one of dozens of sites around the world where sub-oceanic fiber optic lines meet the land and are tapped by the National Security Agency (NSA). Paired with the photo is a maritime map indicating the location of the undersea cables to prevent ships from interfering with the lines. Internal NSA documents from the Snowden archive, corporate documents, and additional images of the site are collaged on top of the map. The photographs continue themes consistent with Paglen's earlier work in which pictures of sublime landscapes document covert and ominous military operations. On the surface these photographs appear as straightforward images of the sea, while in fact, Paglen points to the vast infrastructure of the surveillance state.
The video Circles, installed in the second gallery space, shows the Government Communication Headquarters (GCHQ), the United Kingdom's equivalent of the NSA. In this single-take landscape film, the camera circles around the campus from an aerial view, occasionally zooming in to scrutinize the fanning parking lots, shipping hubs, and specks of human activity. The gesture emphasizes the distinctive circular architecture of the headquarters while reversing the gaze out from this panopticonlike building. The size of the headquarters is itself evidence of the enormous scale of the surveillance apparatus, but the film points to the prosaic nature of these organizations as well, requiring as they do, physical buildings, staff and material resources. While the organizing logic of the surveillance apparatus is secrecy and apparent invisibility, the film highlights the fact that these organizations inhabit the physical world, hidden in plain view.
A new sculpture, Autonomy Cube, houses several internet-connected computers that create an open Wi-Fi hotspot, "Autonomy Cube" that visitors to the exhibition can join. While the cubic form of the sculpture references the contained logic of minimalist sculpture, the work in fact reaches out as part of a networked system. The sculpture routes all traffic over the Tor network, a global network of thousands of volunteer-run servers, or relays, designed to help anonymize data. Autonomy Cube offers visitors use of a privacy-oriented, volunteer run Internet, while also functioning as a Tor relay, receiving traffic from users around the world and passing it along, while maintaining their privacy. In contrast to the photographs and videos, which quietly document the infrastructure of surveillance, with Autonomy Cube, Paglen presents an opportunity to actively engage in a functional alternative.

Appraising and reflecting on the old year's authorial achievements and my aspirations for 2020
Having posted my analysis of last year's reading on New Year's Eve, I'm back now with my audit of 2019's writing and other authorial activities. What were the highlights? How wide was the gap between my aspirations and what I actually achieved? Where will I focus my time and energy in 2020? This time last year, I shared my fantasy goals to become a celebrity, write a series and win a major prize as well six more realistic targets where I haven't done a whole lot better. Come and help rub my nose in the dirt!
Did I bring my short story publication count to 100 by the end of the year?
Celebrating another book birthday: Sugar and Snails turns four
One advantage of getting a new car on the day I published my first novel, is that I'll always remember when it's due its MOT. And taking the car for its MOT means I easily remember my book birthday. So what's happening as my baby turns four? Read on for an interview with one of the minor characters thanks to one of Craig Boyack's alter egos and an update on revamping the blurb.
Schooldays: Agnes Grey & The Governesses
Pity the poor governess: an educated woman obliged to earn her living finding few other options in nineteenth century Britain. But this lesser known of the Brontës' novels led me to pity her charges too. The three governesses in the second novel are worlds away from Agnes Grey, not only because they're in France. Although employed by the couple who own the sprawling estate, they've brought their charges with them, so aren't subjected to the condescension of the mini monarchs of the house.
Families in crisis: The Break & Ferocity
Two novels about the antecedents and consequences within the family when one of their female members is severely injured, both drawing on multiple perspectives to tell the story. In the first, set in Canada, the women rally around when a teenage girl is assaulted; in the second, set in southern Italy, and focusing primarily on the viewpoints of the men, the violent death of a daughter/sister/wife threatens to lift the lid on a web of corruption.
My favourite reads of 2018 Part 2 #amreading
I've awarded eighteen books 5-star ratings so far this year, so I'm sharing them in instalments. These five are from my reviews between May and August.
Now with more books than hands
Out on the soggy trails near my home a couple of days ago, I fell into conversation with a man walking his dogs. Discovering he was a visitor to the area, I wished him better weather before he left. When he replied that there's no life without rain, I was ready to play my part in a climate-change script. So I was surprised, and somewhat disappointed, when he said he'd tell me something that had been kept from people since the beginning of time.
With gratitude on launch-day and beyond
While our American friends have been stuffing themselves with turkey, we can all take a moment to appreciate what we have. With my short story anthology published today, I've a lot to be thankful for, not only for the fact of being published – and read – in this difficult climate for authors, but for the support from the blogosphere in the run-up to the launch. In Monday's post – Becoming Someone is coming to an armchair near you! – I shared the links to the first few stops on my blog tour; today I'm sharing a few more, along with a reminder of the party, where I'm putting my gratitude into action by donating to Book Aid International.
Becoming Someone is coming to an armchair near you!
I've been so busy with preparations, I'd forgotten how it feels when that first box of books arrives. So I was especially touched when the delivery man remembered bringing my debut more than three years ago. If a man who doesn't even know me could connect with that excitement, surely I could too. If that weren't enough to celebrate, this is my 700th post!
Like a satisfying story, the journey to selfhood often entails working through conflict. Sometimes, it's only through opposition that we begin to discover our own values and beliefs. This can be frustrating to witness in others, especially those for whom we're responsible: think of the tantrumming toddler or the belligerent adolescent. But, while others can guide, prompt and set boundaries to prevent us harming ourselves or others, we must all forge our own paths to the someone we become.
Mother issues: Leila & She Chose Me
Two novels with an unusual perspectives on mothers and mothering: the first an Indian dystopian novel about a woman's rapid descent down the social scale after her husband and three-year-old daughter are taken from her; the second an English psychological thriller about a woman who never had, nor wanted, children who receives a Mother's Day card in the post.
The toddler in my laptop
Imagine a virus has attacked your vocal chords, when your livelihood – not to mention your sanity – depends on clear communication. You can create sounds, but they are incomprehensible to others – a jumbled babble. Then, one day, as you jabber in frustration while preparing your children's tea, your toddler's voice rings out, perfectly articulating what you were trying to say.
Two novels about a passion for vinyl
The digital revolution has massively changed the way we listen to music, yet vinyl has been revitalised in some quarters in recent years. Perhaps it's no surprise that contemporary novelists should review their record collections in search of new ways of exploring the human condition. But two published within three months of each other? That's quite a coincidence. Read on to see how these established British authors have addressed the topic in very different ways.
Migration past and present
It's my pleasure to introduce two recently published short novels about westward migration. The historical perspective of the first, driven by the aftermath of the Second World War, and the allegorical style of the second, with a contemporary and/or future orientation, shine a hopeful light on a phenomenon currently depressingly exploited by right-wing politicians. These novels remind us that no society is ever static and, wherever we are positioned on the immigration issue, humans and the communities we build are highly adaptive.
Going away to come home again
One of the themes of my second novel, Underneath, is the complex relationship between homecoming and travel, a topic explored in my recent guest post, The passion for travel and the concept of home. Although, as reflected in a recent post on my two accidental visits to Bangladesh, I'm nostalgic for my youthful travelling, these days I much prefer to stay at home and do my travelling in my head.
A huge thank you, as a second novel is born!
Happy publication day to me! I must admit it doesn't feel the huge leap it did the first time round, but I'm still excited, albeit not breathlessly so. There's a quieter satisfaction in having more than one of my own novels on the shelf, making the transition from writer to author to novelist. This post is to thank those who've helped me on my way. While writing is a solitary activity, no writer is an island. Our achievements arise through hard work, good luck and not a little help from our friends.
Writing happy?
How to mark a 500th post? A normal person might host a competition or a giveaway to express their appreciation of their readers and blog followers. One such from the eminent Emma Darwin resulted in my first-ever guest post, on the topic of writer's block, of which, almost four years on, I'm still immensely proud. But, having failed to plan ahead for today's illustrious event, and with more than a nip of narcissism in my psyche, I'm stuck with celebrating myself. Look away now if that offends you: there'll be more reviews next month.
Don't be seduced by the allure of romance!
If love makes the world go round, it's hardly surprising that romance crops up as a subplot across most genres of fiction. But, as writers, we need to beware of letting the love interest get out of hand and obscure the more complex themes of our novel. As readers, we need to be alert to publishers dressing up a gruelling narrative as a modern Pride and Prejudice because, let's face it, sex sells.
For Valentine's Day, I'm reviving a post that appeared in October 2015 on the Reading Writers website, which is now defunct.
On Writing, Rocks and Milestones
The average person walks at a rate of three miles an hour. But none of us is the average person. The time we take to walk from A to B varies with our general fitness, the length of our stride and our eagerness to reach our destination. The contours of the land, the smoothness of the path and even the weather also impact on our journey times. Diligent planners will take these factors into account when embarking on a country walk, but even pantsers can make judicious use of the three-miles-an-hour rule in knowing we can't cover in a day a distance that would take the average person a week.
Prickly characters
We all know a prickly character, someone around whom we need to tread carefully so as not to get stung. In our social lives, we might keep them at a distance but, in therapy, they're often intriguing and we might relish the challenge of discovering what lies underneath that porcupine skin. In fiction, they can also be appealing but, like the shy character with whom there might be an element of overlap, they aren't so straightforward to write.

DEMAND UNCERTAINTY, R&D LEADERSHIP AND RESEARCH JOINT VENTUREs
Paul O'Sullivan
(Economics, National University of Ireland, Maynooth)
This paper analyses the desirability of RJV formation when firms may choose their R&D investment before or after any demand uncertainty is resolved. If a R&D leader accommodates a follower, multiple Nash equilibria are possible under both R&D competition and RJV formation. If a R&D leader prevents activity by the follower, this is only expected to be profitable at very low spillover and unit R&D cost levels. Whether R&D leadership when competing in R&D is expected to be more profitable than waiting and forming a RJV will depend on unit R&D costs and spillovers. Maximising expected welfare may require an active role for government.

Fr. Pat was from Barnacarroll, near Claremorris, in Co. Mayo. He was born on 20 July 1923, and so was just eleven days short of his 93rd birthday. He was professed as a Redemptorist on 3 October 1943 in Dundalk; he was ordained priest 27 August 1950, in Cluain Mhuire, Galway.
Fr. Pat spent all his life as a Redemptorist in Ireland, giving parish missions the length and breadthof the country. He spent some years in Clonard Monastery, in Belfast, and was in charge of the Men's Confraternity there when the 'Troubles' broke out in August 1969. He worked a great deal in the Gaeltacht areas of the West of Ireland,

President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has said that the 8th Senate will work to improve trade relations and investment in the country by the Republic of Finland as part of its focus to improving the economy and ensure a better business environment in the country.
This is even as the Institute of Directors (IoD) Nigeria, on Wednesday conferred a "Distinguished Fellow Award" on Saraki in recognition if his "sound and purposeful leadership" of the upper chamber, according to a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Sanni Onogu, in Abuja.
Saraki who spoke while responding to remarks by the Finnish Ambassador to Nigeria, Pirjo Snomela Chawdhum, during her courtesy visit to the leadership of the Senate, said Nigeria and Finland need to collaborate more in terms of technology acquisition and transfer.
He commended the Finnish envoy for her mission which is to ensure better trade relations with Nigeria, and her passion for encouraging girls in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
"Any programme that can empower our youth (especially the girls) and enable them become self-reliant or to secure gainful employment will be supported by the Senate," Saraki said. "It is good to hear that the Ambassador's focus is to improve trade relations between both countries.
Similarly, Saraki appreciated the leadership of the Institute of Directors for their efforts to improve on the nation's corporate governance both in the public and private sectors of the economy.
He thanked the Institute for commending the good working relations that exist between both chambers of the National Assembly.
He told the Directors that the Senate is focusing largely on the economy to help it improve in the ease of doing business and ensuring that the nation's business laws are in tandem with those of other modern societies.
He pledged that the National Assembly under his watch will continue to work to strengthen the institution of the parliament being the youngest arm of government in the nation's fledgling democracy.
"Overtime, we will all understand that it is when the parliament is strong that we can better safeguard democracy and really fight corruption," he said.
He pledged that the Bill for the establishment of the Institute of Directors now before the National Assembly will be considered and passed by the legislature while urging the body to avail the lawmakers of suggestions that would further boost its corporate governance and make the country business friendly.
The Finnish Ambassador to Nigeria, Pirjo Snomela Chawdhum, said her main objective is to increase trade and investment relations between both countries even as encourages girls to take to the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as her personal initiative.
On his part, the Managing Director of Nokia Networks in Nigeria, Richard Edet, who was on the entourage of the envoy noted that the company's investment in Nigeria is getting better with its focus on human capital development.
In the same vein, the President/Chairman of Governing Council of the IoD, Alhaji Ahmed Rufai Mohammed, said one of the purpose of the visit was to formally present a plaque for the highest membership honour of "Distinguished Fellow Award" of the Institute it conferred on Saraki in 2016.


This is work from my studio here at the farm around the beginning of August.
Morning glory, service berry, borage, hydrangea, daucus, black lace elderberry foliage.
I was very happy to make it. It was a good day on the road to recovery with me and my relationship to flowers.
I've enjoyed many conversations with other florists this fall - both in person and via email. Many of you that I talk to describe feelings of burn out and emptiness around the flower industry and events and I've been thinking about this a lot.
I think it's tricky to take something that starts as an intimate personal joy and turn it into a business. That there is even a flower 'industry' stands in contrast to the intimate power that flowers have to express joy, highlight celebration, or aid in the process of grief.
I felt disconnected to flowers for most of the last two years - indifferent and empty around them. I did not care to think about what to grow on the farm. It was like being out of love.
When I gave up teaching it was because it felt disingenuous to preach the floral arts to excited women at the start of their careers in flowers, or even worse - women who were coming to me for inspiration and rejuvenation. The last class I taught here, two Septembers ago, I fell apart in tears when a student innocently asked me what I did to 'refill my cup.' That was the beginning of the end of a certain era of Saipua.
Time passing is the only way to sort things out. This last year has been a different kind of hustle for me; tying off all the loose ends of what was once a large complicated company. Trying to learn how to take time and find new pathways to patience and rest. Times of transition are incredibly painful. But we don't get new things, new births without them.
This summer and fall I started to feel my way around flowers again. There were no epiphanies and there were not many euphoric highs - at least not the way I used to have. Which is ok.
I made work in my barn studio. Sometimes I photographed it, sometimes not. Sometimes I would collect a bucket of stems from the field and then let it sit for days without ever making an arrangement. I realized that just the act of collecting - walking the field at dusk and selecting certain stems was the work.
As I've gotten new bearings in just the last few months I've thought a lot about teaching again. I want to do it in a different way; a way that is longer, more thoughtful and more holistically oriented around all sorts of things that we do here at Worlds End. I can show anyone how to make a flower arrangement. But really what I want to do is show people how we live.
I'm working on a series of Worlds End Floral Classes to launch in 2019. Providing time, space, and solitude first with some floral tutelage sprinkled in for good measure.
It's what I could have really used; what I have had to figure out for myself, and what I can now offer to you. It's going to be so, so good.
Glad to have found you back at the worktable. Its a very wet Sunday here on the west coast of British Columbia, the garden is sinking into slumber, my last few bouquets are drying out but I cant ditch them yet; the hydrangeas and roses are still lovely in their fading. A planned foray into the woods and fields for mosses, twigs, branches and berries didn't happen as one of my knees ( haha) is the size of a football. Now 'Im messing around on the Glowing Box, and wishing I were in upstate New York and could join your reading club and drink some - more- tea with a kindred spirit.
Enjoy the snow and ice, and your lovely cuddly critters.

Kim Kardashian Reveals She's Exploring Surrogacy to Have a Third Child
Cut to Kris Jenner all 😳.
By Mehera Bonner published 7 November 16
Wondering if Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are going to have another baby and name it, IDK, South? Tentative yes—but they're going a slightly different route. In a clip from Sunday's episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kim tells her mom Kris Jenner, "I've come to the conclusion that I just want to explore surrogacy."
This isn't the first time Kim's spoken about family planning on her reality show. In a previous episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she told Scott Disick that while Kanye's eager to have another child, she doesn't think she can handle round three of pregnancy. "I don't think I can carry another one," she said. "I just feel like I'll never be the same down there. Kanye says it, like, feels the same."

Silently, at night: Tripping Jupiter and Cerb | Alternative music reviews
Cerb – Mind
Genre: Alt Pop
Similar artists: Depeche Mode, The Cure, Crystal Castles
For many people, sadly, pop music is the closest thing that they will have to the experience of meditating. It is a shame because the benefits of actual meditation are tremendous. But pop music will do. Certainly, when well designed and at the moment that the listener is in the right mood, it can spark the imagination and put the mind at ease.
The synth-driven bands of the 1980s certainly built their work on some large What ifs. This was, after all, supposed to be the music of the future. In this brave new world everyone would have flying cars, dirty sex with obedient robots, and guitars would be outlawed. Oh, what a place to live in.
The world is still dreaming of the future that 80s synth heads were imagining, as can be observed on Cerb's Mind. Tense but danceable, the song drives you from one club in the sky to another. This is a world of future socializing done through dance moves, not words. Guitars are still outlawed. It's worth meditating over.

Joe Strummer was right about a lot of things. One of these was his assessment that people pay for rock stars to strut their stuff out of a desire to see people just like they behave with supreme confidence and work together within a band unit to deliver a show. In a world of almost perpetual chaos, indeed, it's a comforting thought to know that someone who is just like you have been able to overcome their own shortcomings and shyness.
Everybody needs a hero, even though a lot of us don't like to admit this. These figures don't just have to possess otherworldly confidence and a larger-than-life personality. They don't even have to play on the Good Guys' side all of the time. It's often not even important if they manage to do their job better than anybody else that is available. However, what they must surely do is give a message to the people in the crowd. Their art has to touch them enough that these people exclaim, "I think that I could do that!".
Having someone show you the way and give your courage is a tremendous thing. Tripping Jupiter's Lipstick of the brave is a tribute to Tim Curry, David Bowie, Lou Reed, and all of the rest of the glam-rockers who must have made millions of misfit kids feel like they belonged to a club. Musically, the slow-paced pop-rock number is reminiscent of Roger Waters' solo material. The song is as impassioned as Waters' anti-war songs, but, in this case, the real battles have already been fought and deserve their own tribute.
