Richell Prize for Emerging Writers 2020 Winner Announced
Emerging Writers' Festival
Hachette Australia, along with the Richell family, is thrilled to announce that Aisling Smith, author of Petrichor, has been awarded the Richell Prize for Emerging Writers for 2020.
The award was presented today, in partnership with The Guardian Australia and The Emerging Writers' Festival, as part of a virtual event premiered on Hachette channels.
The 2020 Richell Prize received over 800 entries and Smith's winning submission was one of the five shortlisted.
'The quality of this year's shortlist was outstanding. I've laughed out loud, been moved beyond words and had to take a deep breath and ponder,' said Louise Sherwin-Stark, CEO, Hachette Australia.
'A huge congratulations to Aisling Smith and the four wonderful shortlistees,' said Ruby-Rose Pivet-Marsh Artistic Director & Co-CEO Emerging Writers' Festival. 'We are particularly proud that this year's cohort all hail from Victoria, which is a huge achievement in amongst the many challenges that this state, and indeed the wider community, has faced this year. We can't wait to see more of Aisling's work, and are so proud to champion the many exciting emerging voices that the Richell Prize continues to uncover each year.'
The judges said of Smith's winning entry, 'Petrichor announces an assured and evocative new Australian literary voice. Smith, using the disintegration of a marriage, explores powerful themes around communication, race, culture and family. Aisling's writing is evocative and sophisticated, and the story is one all the judges want to read much more of.'
In accepting the prize Smith said, 'It's been a year of such widespread isolation for everyone. Certainly, that's been my own experience of the pandemic. And this has been echoed in the experience of writing, where an already solitary activity has had to proceed with very little engagement with community, often feeling directionless or even as though you are writing into a void. Against this backdrop, winning the Richell Prize feels to me like a moment of real connection.'
The aim of the Richell Prize is to unearth, support and nurture new Australian writing talent. The winner will receive $10,000 in prize money, to be donated by Hachette Australia, along with a 12-month mentorship with one of Hachette Australia's publishers. Hachette Australia will work with the winning writer to develop their manuscript with first option to consider the finished work and shortlisted entries for publication. As well as promoting the prize, The Guardian Australia will publish an extract of the first chapter of Petrichor and a profile on the winning writer.
The 2020 judging panel included Vanessa Radnidge, Publisher at Hachette Australia; Hannah Richell, bestselling author of The River Home; Galina Marinov, Member Services Development Manager at the Australian Booksellers Association; and Jon Page, General Manager at Dymocks Sydney.
Hachette Australia and Hannah Richell would like to thank The Emerging Writers' Festival and The Guardian Australia for partnering with them to make this prize a reality. The Emerging Writers' Festival would also like to thank Simpsons Solicitors for assisting them financially with the administration of the prize.
This prize is named in honour of the late Matt Richell, former CEO of Hachette Australia. Matt was incredibly passionate about discovering and nurturing Australian writers and it is in this spirit we celebrate today's announcement. Without the writers there would be no prize – so congratulations to Aisling, the shortlisted authors and all those emerging writers, who entered this year's prize.

John McCain joked with Leno Tuesday that his defeat was the media's fault.
Making his first public comment a week after he lost the election to Barack Obama, John McCain joked with "The Tonight Show" host Jay Leno that his defeat was "all the press' fault" and that he's "ready to go again" in 2012.
McCain's appearance, which was tied to Veteran's Day and follows two days of televised interviews with his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was to air later Tuesday night on NBC stations.
In keeping with the Veteran's Day creed of remaining a "good soldier," McCain refused to place any blame for his loss on Palin and offered several familiar refrains about his running mate and the campaign.
McCain said that since the election ended he's been "sleeping like a baby — I sleep two hours, wake up and cry, sleep two hours. . . ." He seemed relaxed and comfortable, happy to be rid of the Secret Service protection that guarded him 24/7 as a candidate and amused at all the post-mortems that have filled the papers and cable news shows after the race ended.


WordPress started as a blogging platform but thanks to many thousands of plugins, nowadays it can be practically anything else other than a blog.
The custom post types feature is very powerful because it can turn what would be a blog post page into anything, as long as you know how to take advantage of it or you can use a plugin to simplify your task.
Read this article to learn about the Easy Content Types plugin and you can use it to easily create new custom post types, taxonomies and meta boxes.
What is the Easy Content Types Plugin?
However, if you have plugins that already do what you need, you can save a lot of time. The Easy Content Types plugin is one of those plugins.
It provides an easy way to create custom post types, taxonomies and meta boxes. The is equally interesting for developers and also non-developer users.
Non-developer users will appreciate the simplicity provided by this plugin, while creating and updating their Web sites. Developers on the other hand will appreciate taking less time to create post types, taxonomies and meta boxes, without being forced to write the whole code for new plugins.
The Easy Content Types plugin is a great tool for people that wants to have a lot of content on their Web sites. It helps by keeping control over the existing amount of text, as well as adding new text.
For instance on blogs, where the content is changing on a daily basis, this plugin is perfect for organizing content, by creating custom post types, taxonomies and meta boxes in a very fast and simple way.
To install this plugin go to the creator site at themeisle.com first and login. Then go to the Easy Content Types plugin page. You can choose from three different of license types: for a single site, for 3 sites and unlimited sites. After choosing the license you want click on "Add to Cart".

Word Press will need a few seconds to install the plugin. All you have to do next is to activate the plugin by clicking on "Activate Plugin".
With post types, users can create advanced organisation schemes for your WordPress Web site. Custom taxonomies help to define the organisation within the custom post types, but also simplify the organisation when it comes to displaying the content on the front-end. This way the Web site becomes easier to navigate.
Meta boxes and custom post meta fields provide a possibility to add information sections or to display additional information. Meta boxes allow adding additional information sections to the post editor, providing numerous types to choose from, like text inputs, drop down menus, radio buttons and much more. This way every website owner can create section with fields in seconds.
For developers, the custom meta fields give even the opportunity to control aspects of the layout in the theme files.
The features for the custom post types and taxonomies are numerous. Here are just few of them. The interface is user-friendly. Post types and taxonomy can be edited after creation, while the user gets control over all post type and taxonomy attributes and support options.
Support for advanced permalink structures is included as well as query post short code, so the administrator can list the custom post type entries anywhere. To make it even easier, there is extensive documentation and explanation of post types and taxonomies.
The interface of meta boxes is also easy to use and the meta boxes can be, as well as custom post types and taxonomies, edited after creation.
A unlimited list of fields can be added to the meta box, while the post type, that receives the meta box has to be chosen. Even 10 different field types are provided and can be edited after creation.
For every field, there are automatic shortcodes and all meta field are being displayed automatically. The code of every single meta box and field can be exported for use on sites without the Easy Content Types Plugin.
The list of features goes on, the field types vary between text inputs, textarea inputs, checkbox inputs, select inputs, datepicker inputs, radio buttons, repeatable text inputs, repeatable upload fields and more.
The administrator of the Web site has the possibility to control the access for users, such as which user levels have access to the custom content type menu, which users are allowed to create custom post types, custom taxonomies or custom meta boxes. All of the custom post types, taxonomies and meta boxes can be registered.
To start with this new plugin, just go to "Content Types" button on the left menu of your admin page. There you can choose between "Post Types", "Taxonomies" and "Meta Boxes".
You can also take a look at the section "About", to find more about this plugin, as well as about the features individually. In the section "Settings", you can define details about the post types, taxonomies and meta boxes in general and gain more control over these content types.
For creating post types, you have to choose "Post Types" under "Content Types" in the left menu. To create a new post type, you need to enter a name. You can choose between a singular and a plural label, but there are also numerous advanced labels, which allow the perfect organisation of your content on the Web site.
You can also choose between different post types options and add a menu icon by uploading images from your computer or by entering the URL to the menu icon.
By choosing different options, you can for example enable archives, post formats, gallery, exclude the post type from showing up in search results and more. Beside the "Post Type Options", you can also enable different elements for the post type in the section "Post Type Supports", like: title, editor, author, thumbnail, custom fields, etc. The explanation for every single element is provided, so you can decide more easily, whether to enable elements or not. Advanced users can also enable additional support options, like "headway-seo".
In the "Advanced" section, you can enter a menu position for the post type, as well as a post type slug. There are help icons beneath every single option, where you can find explanations and helpful information, like for example a list of menu positions, if you choose to enter one for your post type.
After choosing the options you want, you just need to click on "Add Post Type" at the bottom and the post type is ready. After creating the post type, you can find the information about it in a table, where all the post types, you create, will be visible.
Taxonomies in WordPress are a form of defining how to group posts, like for instance categories.
For creating taxonomies, you have to choose "Taxonomies" under "Content Types" in the left menu. To create a new taxonomy, you need to enter a name. You also need to choose an "Object", which is actually the post type, that will use this particular taxonomy.
Here, you can also choose the name for a single or a plural label. Under the "Taxonomy Options", you can choose to enable several properties. So, you can choose for instance, whether items can have parent and child items, if this particular taxonomy can be displayed as a tag cloud, if the taxonomy, you are creating, will be shown up in a custom navigation menu interface, if there is going to be a slug or not.
After clicking on "Add Taxonomy", the new taxonomy is created. Beside every single option, explanations and tips are provided, as well as a help icon for additional help. The created taxonomies are also visible in a table again, where you can find the general information about them.
A metabox is a is a sort of a options box that appears in some WordPress admin menus that provides a way to tweak options for a specific function or a specific area of a WordPress theme.
To create a new custom meta box, first you have to choose "Meta Boxes" under "Content Types" in the left menu. Here you can choose between different general properties, but the first thing, you have to do, is to enter a metabox name.
You can choose a post type, that will use this particular metabox, as well as define where the metabox is going to be displayed on the editor screen. For that purpose, you have to choose between "normal", "advanced" and "side".
Again, the properties are explained on the right side, but also in detail if you click on the help icon. You can also determine the priority of your metabox, by choosing between "default", "high", "core" and "low". The purpose of priority is also explained on the right side of the property, so you can easily pick what you want to choose. You have also the opportunity, to limit the metabox to specific post or page IDs.
To create the metabox, you just have to click on "Add Meta Box" on the bottom. After that the information about the created metabox will be visible in a table.
A nice feature for developers is that you can export code for the designed post types and taxonomies to WordPress sites that do not use the plugin. So value of this plugin relies mainly in provided a nice to use user interface for creating custom posts types without the effort to write all the code by yourself.
If you want to enhance your WordPress site beyond the blog post listings, custom post types are the way to go. This makes an WordPress a universal Web application development platform.
Despite this plugin is paid, the time it saves to developers or non-developer WordPress users to create custom post types is amazing. So the money it costs is well spent.
Apart from the various properties and options, this plugin provides, I appreciate the explanations and tips provided, which make it really easy for everyone to create and manage content on the personal Web site or blog.
Besides the provided tutorials, as well as explanations and help icons during creating post types, taxonomies and meta boxes, users can rely on a great support. You just have to contact the author of the plugin on a discussion board about the issue they have and the response is provided within hours. Such a support even enhances the value of this already great plugin.

The history of the term «Metal War»
By the end of 2012, an armed confrontation between corporations "Global Resource Network" and "Morgan Industries" on the Australian theater became protracted battles.
Systematically increasing the combat potential, both companies were able to achieve parity armed. Now, each of the parties to the conflict had enough financial and material resources to withstand the onslaught of the enemy and continue their activities in the controlled area. Even a well-planned military operations did not bring significant results. Private military companies that protect the interests of its customers, mutually suffered heavy losses in equipment and manpower, always returning to their former positions.
The quantitative superiority in power has lost all meaning, so the leadership «Morgan Industries» was interested achieve qualitative superiority.
In 2013, scientists corporations engaged in the study of the properties of actinolite - an essential component for the production of synthetic blood. The properties of the substance are that of metal, but its share was so small that separate it from the gangue was extremely difficult. The most striking feature of the metal was that it's atomic structure was amorphous and more like the structure of a liquid. Metal atoms without crystalline structure have the highest strength values, impact strength as well as excellent magnetic properties. In addition, the new metal is perfect for casting - easily casting contours that were accurate with perfectly smooth surface, and parts made from it have valuable property to recover their shape when deformed.
All information about the new scientific discovery was immediately classified. In view of the fact that the content of "liquidation" in a ton of mined ore was very small, and its cost was very high, making components for military equipment would have been expensive and impractical. Therefore, all scientific research on the "liquidation" was transferred to the military division of the company "Synthetic Life", a separate holding of the pharmacological interests of "Morgan Industries".
In May 2013, after a comprehensive examination of all the properties of new metal, the scientists from «Synthetic Life» found that liquidation was so biologically compatible with human tissues that it warranted further development. In the same year as part of a closed program, work began on the creation of human implants for their military divisions use.
In the early stages of development their created osteoprotezy, exactly mimicking the skeletal structure of the recipient.However replacing the skeletal structure was not decisive enough to increase the viability of the soldier. The weak point was still vulnerability of vital organs.
The next stage of development was the creation an artificial improval of the muscular system, protecting the soldiers body from penetrating injuries and strains, as well as increasing the strength and endurance capacity. Combined with "Synthetic Blood" derived beyond the limitations of the human musculoskeletal system show the best results, increasing the viability and work of all internal organs. Synthetic muscle fibers that are based on conductive polymer materials can withstand passing electricity through them, well proven in the trials carried out.
The protracted war in Australia had caused a growth in the number of wounded mercenaries from "Black Sun Security", As a result of fighting the development team at "Synthetic Life" had no shortage of volunteers on which to conduct their research.
September 6, 2013 "Black Sun Security" with the technical support of «Morgan Industries» held a large-scale operation to capture three major fields of silicate ore from Australia. The private military of «Global Resource Network», supplied by "GrabCo", providing protection to the ore mines, Without which its customers would never have survived the modified landing soldiers dropped over the mining complex. The "Black Sun Security" fitted with implants had successfully neutralize the guards and disable the automatic defense system perimeter. With Lightweight mobile units "GrabCo" tried to resist the advancing enemy, but were defeated and forced to retreat. Heavy military equipment from «Black Sun Security» took the key defensive positions.
Rapid developments in Australia have caused global repercussions. Oliver Mankiw - Executive Director of "Global Resource Network" at a press conference with the BBC News, provided a video, In which it showed the body of one of the modified mercenaries working for «Black Sun Security», Who had died in the conflict over "GrabCo" holdings. The body of the deceased mercenary had replaced 80% of their body with synthetic implants, which were clearly marked as products of "Synthetic Life" and "Morgan Industries". Mankiw praised the high level of technical development of he's rivals, but warned them of the response, which would follow from his company.
The stock market reacted to the first military successes and technological breakthrough by "Morgan Industries", indexes of its own shares of the corporation and its subsidiaries reached a record height, bringing billions of dollars in profits.
The Board of Directors for "Morgan Industries" did not want to disclose information about their secret technological they had developed, but in light of the events they had no choice but to announce the new metal and consolidate their success. Becoming the top corporation on the world market for development and production of advanced human implants.
International observer for the BBC, Jonathan Marcus, Reported on the events surrounding the conflict between corporations "Morgan Industries" and "Global Resource Network", for the first time using the term "War Metal". He expressed his fear that the technological breakthroughs of one of the corporations currently at war causes a huge wave of new "war metal", where the main weapon will not be military equipment, but modified soldiers, capable of using superhuman capabilities to carry out combat missions. The opening of the new metal liquidation, will be the "Pandora's box" for all humanity.
After that, the term "Metal War" firmly entrenched in the spoken language, to refer to the concept of an open armed confrontation between corporations, armed with high-tech weapons and modified soldiers fully equipped with implants.
Already in 2014, the corporation "Global Resource Network" has entered the market with the latest human cybernetic implant devices, to counteract the effects of injury, constructed from basis of liquidation and titanium alloy. In 2015, at the initiative of the UN leading countries ratified international treaty on the delimitation of the civilian and military human implants, their applications and limitations on use. The United States and the two countries have refrained from signing the contract.


Well, for courtesy's sake, may as well start things here.
1. Vegetarian. I've already cringed a bit at some remarks about using turtle shells as currency, since it would just result in yet another innocent species being imprisoned, tortured, and mass-slaughtered.
2. Biological realist. From all our best knowledge... Men and women are inherently different. Different ethnic groups have different population levels of various genes, including ones which effect behaviour and brain function.
3. Not a dogmatist. Gnostic atheists are little better than gnostic theists, to me--pretending you know more than you really do is always arrogant, even if the side you stick to is more likely to be right. Actually... even if you turned out to be 100% right, and it were absolutely proven, a poor argument that arrives at the correct conclusion is still a poor argument.
4. Nihilist. Specifically, meta-ethical emotivist, existential nihilist, epistemological solipsist. So, uh, spare me the ethos, eh? I probably won't listen. But if you have some semi-deranged pipe dreams to spit out at me because "hey it might technically maybe be possible kinda?" I'm all ears--if nothing else, imagination is one of our greatest gifts.
Ummm.....welcome, I guess. Oh yes, welcome to that large white charger you rode in on as well.
BTW, what is a 'gnostic atheist'??
2. Different ethnic groups have different population levels of various genes, including ones which effect behaviour and brain function.
You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login triggered you? Man, you must be really high strung! I was talking about using shells in general as currency, which people have done historically. I'm not aware of any resulting apocalypses. The idea that they'd be mass-slaughtered for their shells never even occurred to me. Also, wouldn't breeding turtles be the smart move there?
2. Biological realist. From all our best knowledge... Men and women are inherently different.
Well...yeah. There are some pretty obvious differences, lol. No one's denying that. It's when you get into "women aren't logical, can't drive, etc" territory that there's furor.
Different ethnic groups have different population levels of various genes, including ones which effect behaviour and brain function.
3. Not a dogmatist. Gnostic atheists are little better than gnostic theists, to me--pretending you know more than you really do is always arrogant, even if the side you stick to is more likely to be right.
We've discussed the topic to death, but basically the gnostic atheists aren't really claiming to be able to "prove" that God doesn't exist - only that they're confident this God stuff is a human creation in the same vein as leprechauns and faeries and vampires. Sure, one can't prove that faeries don't exist, but why should one consider that they do exist?
Actually... even if you turned out to be 100% right, and it were absolutely proven, a poor argument that arrives at the correct conclusion is still a poor argument.
Sounds like you're bracing for some push-back there. I don't know why exactly. Existentialism and nihilism are two fairly common viewpoints around here. Though the solipsism part raised a little bit of a red flag.
Guess which group the OP will be in, by the grace of god.
At least you are an interesting person, aside from the nihilism that is.
Simply put, know it alls are gnostics ... so most of us are gnostic. Only a very few are skeptical enough to be agnostic.
And ... ohayo gozaimasu back at you. Lots of anime fans here.
Confession is good for the soul. You've come to the right place. Just put it all out there, and we will mark it with our stamp of disapproval.
But seriously, I don't care that much about your special quirks. My first advice would be just to chill. Being here is not a big deal. You don't get money for it or ribbons. And there is no physical retaliation to worry about in cyberspace. Just relax and enjoy the experience the way you would enjoy a warm bed or a good meal. If it doesn't fit, it won't be the end of the world, and you can move on.
"I know for a fact there is no god!" ...basically.
The idea that they'd be mass-slaughtered for their shells never even occurred to me.
Is there an economically valuable species that isn't mass-grown and mass-harvested? If humans are good at one thing it's manipulating their environment for personal gain, you know?
There are some pretty obvious differences, lol. No one's denying that.
I lost my old best friend in large part because she went off into the "brain differences are a social construct" territory with regards to things like spatial reasoning (product of confidence variation, mostly modified by... testosterone) or empathy (product of emotional processing variation, modified by... estrogen and testosterone). Many people will make the same denials she did.
Sure, one can't prove that faeries don't exist, but why should one consider that they do exist?
How can you call yourself rational if you refuse to consider all possibilities?
I would never suggest you should treat the most remote possibilities equally, but placing your faith in modern understanding is what produces the so-called "science advances when the old guard dies" effect. Nasty business.
Sounds like you're bracing for some push-back there.
Not sure "god" and "grace" really belong in the same sentence... Have we been reading the same holy books?
Yoku sitta ne. Though, I mostly read light/visual novels and occasionally play games, not so heavy on the anime itself necessarily.
Probably wasted on me then eh.
Being here is not a big deal. You don't get money for it or ribbons.
So you're saying I was lied to?
Howdy and welcome! Sorry I'm late to the party.
Okay, I see your point. And to an extend, agree with it. Gnostic reasoning or believing is based upon an internal process; a process that if done correctly will reveal to that person the 'truth' about existence--ours and/or god. As an atheist I suppose I could now be called a 'gnostic atheist. Why? Because of the process I used to become an atheist. I now 'know' there is no god/gods of any kind; all are the invention of humankind. I fully understand that one cannot completely prove there is no god or that it is impossible for a god to exist. Yet, there is no empirical data or facts to show that god(s) exist, have ever existed or need to exist. Not one. The absence of data, for me, is proof of the 'fact' that god(s) do not exist. That is all the proof I need. So, I 'know' in a gnostic way and in a critical thinking, skeptical way as well. God does not exist! And to those who disagree, prove it!
How much of all that evidence have you even personally verified?
And you claim you know?
You can believe there are no gods, you can be convinced there are no gods, but to claim you know there are no gods is a matter of nothing more than faith.
Faith that all the evidence you know of is valid, has been properly interpreted, and is bereft of omissions. Faith that the evidence which has not yet been discovered will not overturn your "knowledge."
It cannot be held up as rational. To be a proper sceptic is to accept only that which has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt--a bar yet higher than any court in any land.
To operate as if there is no god is right and true, and to operate as if there is a god is sorely irrational. But to claim you know?
If you have such perfect knowledge, then go ahead and prove it.
Hello~ Don't worry, I hear being late is fashionable or something anyway.
All statements of knowledge based on evidence are necessarily provisional, with varying degrees of confidence.
And so I would claim to know based on the current evidence that there is no god. There is, of course, always the possibility that new evidence might come up, and it will be evaluated at that time. But for now, there is not enough evidence to accept the god hypothesis even provisionally, and the current state of knowledge contraindicates the existence of a divine authority.
In short, the god hypothesis belongs in the same file that caloric and phlogiston and æther have been relegated to. Where it makes predictions about the physical universe, we have better ones that withstand physical scrutiny, and where it makes metaphysical claims, those are designed to be impervious to examination and so are not worth considering.
So sure, I'll say it: there is no god, insofar as there is no reason to accept that hypothesis in the first place. Until someone can prove otherwise, I am entitled to so say, based on the historical failure of the god hypothesis to either explain the universe we see around us nor provide rigorously testable predictions, and based on the existence of better theories and hypotheses that have either withstood rigorous examination and/or provide predictions that can eventually be rigorously examined.

If I were to describe this movie in one word, I would say, "SPECTACULAR"! "It is obviously a work that came from the heart as well as the head. You have managed to capture the spirit of salmon fishing and casting perfectly". Well done my friend.
What a great salmon fishing movie - "something for newbies and old hands to enjoy and beautifully shot": a fantastic DVD which I really enjoyed it iapart from the scenes inside Tulchan Lodge. The sight of that "honesty bar" again brought back memories of some monumental nights and epic hangovers,as usual,aided by El Bennitez and JK and JA in the Kings Hut!
Throughly enjoyed your DVD Ian, Roll on Blue Charm 2 and maybe a bit longer with the outakes.
Well just watched the dvd for the second time, a very well put together film with great footage of the fishing,rivers,history and casting styles,90 minutes of pure fishing joy.
Just finished watching Ian Gordon's new DVD and thought it was superb. A nice selection of fishing sequences from different beats on the Spey (Gordon Castle, Tulchan B, Easter Elchies and Inverfiddich), the Findhorn at Forres and the Dee (Lower Invercauld, Monaltrie, Glen Muick and Cairnton), interspersed with fishing and casting tips.
The taking of views is outstanding from the countryside and the rivers to your casting with the scottish surroundings which I did enjoy during so many years: great cameraman and great salmon fly-fisherman !
Your phrase "Unlike all the other speycasts, the overhead cast is made with an acceleration and a stop" is a mine of sound observations. I did suffer too much in having forget this key point. The view, as a bird, of different speycasts show a lot.
I appreciate the sequence on the greenheart rods, they were wonderful tools, friendly companions, and the two casts you show are just as good than one with the best graphite rod. What contradiction with the many experts (?) who tell that we need a fast action rod to do a narrow or pointing loop!
Your Film is enchanting and interesting, a great compliment to you!
Hi Ian the blue charm dvd was superb 1 of the best and your casting was superb you cast as you say it make it easy!
Thoroughly enjoyed your DVD Ian, Roll on Blue Charm 2 and maybe a bit longer with the outtakes.
I got it three hours ago and watched it right six completely. Congratulation, it is the best movie of this kind I have seen so far. Good movie casting, good demonstrations and nicely cut in a good mix. Well done!!!!!!!
Hi Ian blue charm movie is very good, Speycasting is hard but you make it look easy.
Absolutely fantastic!! You should be very proud ... Great that you got in so much of the history - and you'd wonder why anybody would fish anywhere but Scotland. Only problem is I've been glued to the screen for 1.5 hours.
Feedback is easy - the DVD is fantastic.
The casting sequences make each cast look so easy and straight-forward. You know, having watched me casting, that some habits will be a long time breaking, but I feel confident that with the clear step by step illustrations in your DVD that I have still got a chance of "mastering" some of the casts.
The out takes at the end are very good - particularly the wasp making an appearance at the wrong time (I got the feeling you were on take 22!).
You should feel justifiably proud of the finished article.
I hope the DVD's are flying off the shelf. In my view anyone with an interest in Salmon fishing should own one.

There are currently no open EDCTP calls – this page will be updated accordingly once information about a new call becomes available.
The European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) was created in 2003 as a European response to the global health crisis caused by the three main poverty-related diseases of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.
It unites the 14 participating European Union (EU) Member States plus Norway and Switzerland with sub-Saharan African countries.
EDCTP aims to accelerate the development of new or improved drugs, vaccines and microbicides, with a focus on phase II and III clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa. EDCTP supports multicentre projects which combine clinical trials, capacity building and networking.
The aim of integrating these three activities is to ensure that the developed capacity is utilised to successfully conduct the clinical trials in a sustainable way.

We seem to be stumbling on mysterious, anonymous electronic music at the moment. The latest is Oh Wonder, a songwriting duo from London. Their latest track The Rain is one that's caught our ears.
The Rain is slow-building and makes clever use of female and male vocals over an understated backing. It's the fifth in a series of songs they're releasing on the first of the month every month ahead of an album release in September.
There's very little information about them at the moment, describing themselves as a "writing duo" without identifying themselves. We'd recommend following them so you get notified when a new track gets added.
Oh Wonder are on Soundcloud, where you can find the other tracks in the series and any future releases, as well as Facebook and Twitter.

Like all the hotels in Hell Square, 119 Orchard Street sure took its time. Construction has been terribly slow in recent years, thanks in large part to constant stop-work orders.
Five years after SAS Property Management (aka Shimon Avadi) tore down the tenement building, the incomplete hotel at 119 Orchard Street has finally undergone the full monty. The last of the netting and plywood has been removed from the project site. Now both sides of the structure are completely unencumbered, revealing two color schemes for bricks, almost as if they changed their minds halfway through construction.
Meanwhile, the sixteen-room hotel remains unnamed and with an ambiguous opening date. Equally shady in this arrested development is the ground floor commercial space. As previously reported, principal Joseph Valentine inked a lease over the summer, and is applying to open and run both the restaurant and roof terrace operation. His bid for a full liquor license for "The John Lamb" – formerly in the running for 119 Essex – is before Community Board 3 this month. Again. In the last year, the applicant appeared, then withdrew, at least a half-dozen times.
Many in the vicinity feel that this 42-table, "American-style" concept is nothing but a ruse to install a legit nightclub. Indeed, Valentine's apparent pedigree is all club based. His family owned and operated the Sphinx club at 51 West 46th Street and purchased the FireBird on midtown's "Restaurant Row," which he later ran from 2012 to 2014. Valentine also took over operations at Gully's this past summer – a bar barge in Newburgh, New York.
Moreover, it's most certainly worth noting here that Mr. Valentine was allegedly caught red-handed in a tax evasion scheme at his old place, The FireBird. As a result, he was forced to remit $35,621 in personal income tax liabilities to the state. His partner at the time, Nicholas Rotundo, pled guilty to stealing hundreds of thousands in tax money collected from customers.
Only a smidgen of this experience and/or public financial history is disclosed in application paperwork to Community Board 3.
SAS Property Management purchased 119 Orchard Street in 2008 for $4.2 million. Fine & Klein Handbags, a fixture on the block for four decades, closed its doors for good the year before.


McCarthy Architecture was selected to assist Northwest Bible Church in realizing its vision for a refugee resource center in a neighborhood of Dallas with a highly concentrated refugee population. The Northwest program called for a multi-purpose worship space, classrooms, childrens' and young adult areas, administration space, shared ministry spaces, and a large gathering area to allow for conversation and mentoring. The first floor of a three story building was available in the area and was gutted to provide space for the new program. Refugees are able to utilize the new facility for worship, counseling, job training and simply having a safe, comfortable environment to create assimilation opportunities. The overarching theme of the project was to create a welcoming, safe location for refugees to be received by the Northwest Bible Church community.


Will Arizona's cowboys and Latinos vote for Clinton or Trump?
Immigration and US border security have been among the most contentious issues in the 2016 presidential campaign. The issues are particularly divisive with those Americans in Arizona who live next to the border with Mexico.
In the land where time stands still a lone horse whinnies and the sound ripples across the windswept brush.
The horse has sensed something before we see it. Soon a line of dust rises in the distance and a rumble reaches the ranch.
Across the Arizona plain 450 cattle are on the move herded by five rugged cowboys on horseback, chaps and all.
It could be a scene from any Western and the cowboys' stories could be the script.
They talk of Mexican "outlaws" crossing the border, some parched and desperate, others laden down with drugs.
They talk, too, of a rancher shot dead on his own land and of a law-enforcement officer killed in a gun battle, both in dubious and disputed circumstances.
The cowboys want a secure border and when it comes to politics these men of the West do not mince their words.
"The thing about Trump," says Ed Ashurst who owns this ranch, about 20 miles north of the Mexican border. "You might hate his guts but he'll probably do something. And Hillary Clinton, I'll guaran-damn-tee it, ain't gonna do anything. So your choice."
"If," he adds pointedly, "you're an American citizen."
Immigration is a big issue here. Southern Arizona, built on copper and cattle, is a relatively new part of the United States and its history is intertwined with Mexico's.
It became a territory in 1853 as part of the Gadsden Purchase from its southern neighbour. Arizona itself only achieved statehood in 1912.
According to the federal government, the latest statistics suggest that far fewer Mexicans and single adults are attempting to cross the border illegally but "more families and unaccompanied children are fleeing poverty and violence in central America."
The cowboys are not convinced.
But in the frontier town of Nogales - 95% Latino - many people do hate Mr Trump's guts.
The Republican candidate has called Mexicans "criminals" and "rapists", pledging to deport millions of illegal immigrants and to build a great wall on the border. He has also, infamously, insulted women, time and again.
And yet the Republican headquarters in the town is packed with young Hispanic women using mobiles to make calls to potential Republican voters, urging them to back the New York property tycoon for president.
What is going on? Catalina Miranda, who is in charge of the volunteers, sighs and then smiles when she is asked about Mr Trump's controversial comments.
The 19-year-old admits that she was offended, saying "I am a very proud Latina", but insists there are more important issues in the US presidential election than pride.
"We don't have to look at the personal stuff right now," she says. "Right now we have to think business-wise. This town needs businesses. This town needs more people."
On the doorsteps in Nogales, though, Democrats are delighted to talk about Mr Trump's personality.
Molly Anderson, a physician, is canvassing in streets which afford a view over the border to Mexico, where the frontier town is also called Nogales.
"These are families who share a border," she says.
"Everybody in Nogales is related to somebody in Mexico."
Dr Anderson says her party's presidential opponent is driving many voters to register for an election for the first time in their lives.
"I have never seen people coming up and registering emphatically like this," she says.
"They're telling us that they don't like what Trump has to say about Mexican Americans and about Mexican immigrants and that they're going to make a statement this year about it."
That would be a big boost for Hillary Clinton.
The last time Arizona picked a Democrat for president was 1996 when her husband Bill won here. It was the first time the state had turned blue in 40 years.
Four years ago, the Republican candidate Mitt Romney triumphed emphatically here, winning by nine percentage points. Only four of its 15 counties went Democratic, including Santa Cruz where Nogales is the county seat.
If his wife can repeat the feat, and take another 11 electoral votes as she tries to reach the winning margin of 270, she will have her opponent to thank for alienating millions of Latino voters.
Winning here may be a struggle though. Polls had suggested that the race was a toss-up in Arizona and, unusually, the state has been visited this week by both Mrs Clinton and her vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine, who made history by delivering an entire campaign speech in Spanish.
However the latest polls indicates that Mr Trump has gained ground on his opponent, leading her by five points among likely voters, 45% to 40%.

Knee-Jerk Reactions: Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers
By Brandon Cavanaugh, 9/26/15, 7:00 PM EDT
The Cornhuskers held off USM for a 36-28 win.
After a game that featured more starts and stops than a kid driving his first manual transmission, Nebraska came out on top against the Golden Eagles of Southern Mississippi 36-28. Per usual, there are some immediate takeaways from what is the Huskers' last non-conference game. Let's review:
- Tommy Armstrong became the second player in school history to reach 1,000 yards passing in just four games also chalking up a career-high 431 yards of total offense.
Plenty of career-highs were chalked up against the Golden Eagles, but Tommy Arm-So-Strong had himself what is becoming a regular efficient day aside from a few hiccups here and there.
- The running game still has room to improve, but lo! It's the Andy Janovich Show! The H-back tallied 68 yards on the ground and 53 yards receiving. Said Riley of his performance, "I don't know if every game running-wise will work out like that for our fullback, but it certainly was good today." Aw shucks, coach.
- Surely this will shock you. Jordan Westerkamp set a new career-high 11 catches netting Nebraska 118 yards and a score. Brandon Riley also had a day and a half with three snags for 112 yards.
It was a very disappointing day for Cethan Carter who didn't seem to have his head in the game as he gave a half-hearted effort. His route running and pass catching were tepid at best.
- This offensive line needs a kick in the pants as after four games, the best of the five is redshirt freshman Nick Gates. The others don't play to the whistle or take plays off including captain Alex Lewis and center Ryan Reeves still suffers from high snaps.
- It stinks having Jack Gangwish on the sideline, but depth is being built with the work of Freedom Akinmoladun. He's outplaying junior Greg McMullen on the opposite end and when Gangwish is ready to return, I look forward to see if there's a battle for a Blackshirt.
- Considering what Trent Bray and the Nebraska linebackers have had to deal with this season, I have to say they've performed admirably. Groin issues plague this group forcing Chris Weber, Luke Gifford and Marcus Newby to step up.
There's going to be yards given up. If you were an opposing offensive coordinator, wouldn't you take advantage? It's tough to watch, but this group does have its moments despite razor thin depth.
- The changes to the secondary didn't suddenly hold the Golden Eagles to under 200 yards passing, but there may be a new weak link.
While Jonathan Rose, Chris Jones and Joshua Kalu all work well at the cornerback and nickel roles respectively, safety Byerson Cockrell's play is becoming a concern quickly.
- How about Drew Brown? Brown tied the NCAA record for most field goals in the first half and set a new career-long of 50 yards besting his 49-yarder versus Miami earlier this season. The kid went five of six on the day and that is why you have a special teams coach.
Unfortunately, there was a botch on an onside kick following a Southern Miss score. However, Riley took responsibility and noted that after the mistake, he and special teams coach Bruce Read made sure that Westerkamp was back to recover a pooch kick later in the game.
Bottom Line: After a rough 2-2 non-conference slate, the Huskers are pretty banged up. However, they may see a very welcome face return to the sideline all padded up next week. Yeah, No. 15.

News of Firms: Coyne PR Teams with Pacira Bio to Fight Opioids
Wed., Mar. 25, 2020
By Steve Barnes
Coyne PR and Pacira BioSciences have joined forces on a project addressing the effects of the continuing opioid epidemic in the U.S. Part of Pacira's unbranded Choices Matter campaign, the project began as a series of three short testimonials illustrating the problems that can result from legal opioid prescriptions when the dangers of these medications are not understood. Coyne and Pacira eventually expanded it into a 40-minute documentary, "Gateway," that is intended to offer a new view of how overprescribing opioids can have such consequences as addiction and dependence. The documentary, which had its LA premiere last month, has already won the best documentary feature prize at the LA Movie Awards and received an award of merit for documentary short from the Impact DOCS Awards.

InkHouse offered a March 25 free virtual briefing on new best practices for communications during the COVID-19 crisis. The discussion went over the results of research conducted by InkHouse in collaboration with Sam Whitmore, the founder and editor of Sam Whitmore's Media Survey, which provides tech media analysis and consulting to tech PR pros and media buyers. Topics covered included how to set the right tone, messages and cadence for your social media as well as the rules for media relations during the crisis. In addition to the briefing, InkHouse is offering what it calls the COVID-19 PR Strategies Toolkit, which offers information on such topics as how to take an event virtual and working from home.

Sutherlandgold has partnered with creative agency Moonshot on a coronavirus communications resource page for CEOs and communicators. The intention of the page is to provide insights and advice on how brands can navigate their way through the changes that the coronavirus has made in the business world, with planned conferences being called off and digital becoming the only communications channel for many professionals. Topics on the page include: the do's and don'ts of communication when it's not business as usual, what to do if an employee tests positive and how to successfully pivot after an event is cancelled event.

Q: How to calculate the rotation matrix between 2 3D triangles? I need to calculate the rotation matrix and the translation vector between 2 given triangles in Euclidean space.
This is really just a rotation and a translation, the lengths of sides of the triangle are equal.
Coordinates of the points are real. $P_1, P_2, P_3$ are the 3 points of the 1st triangle, $Q_1, Q_2, Q_3$ are the 3 points of the 2nd.
My idea was: I translate the center of the triangles to the point of origin with $t_1 := \frac{P_1+P_2+P_3}{3}$, $P'_i = P_i-t_1$ and  $t_2 := \frac{Q_1+Q_2+Q_3}{3}$, $Q'_i = Q_i-t_1$ and then I only need to solve the set of 9 linear equations with 9 unknown (the 9 entries of the rotation matrix $R$):
$$
Q'_i = R.P'_i
$$
Afterwards I could calculate the translation with
$$
t = t_2 - R.t_1
$$
The problem is: after I translate the triangles to the point of origin the points are linearly dependent ($P_3 = -P_1 - P_2$)
So in fact I only have 6 equation with 9 unknown, which allows multiple solutions for $R$.
But I need "one" precise solution, because the triangles are just parts of two identical models, which I need the rotation for.
I think the approach will work, if I use 4 points instead of 3.
But can I somehow calculate the rotation matrix with "only" 3 points?

A: In principle you need two rotations and a matrix-multiplication. Call the recentered matrices Q ad S and P as T.
Then find the rotation s, which rotates S to "triangular" form of its coordinates, so that the coordinates of the first point becomes $[x_{s,1},0,0]$, of the second becomes $[x_{s,2},y_{s,2},0]$. This can be done with your ansatz of using unknowns, if you assume three rotations (for each pair of planes 1 rotation, and gives a 3x3-matrix whose 3'rd column is zero and describes thus a triangle in a plane)
Then do the same with another rotation t which rotes T in the same manner.
Then $T = S \cdot s \cdot t^{-1} = S \cdot r$ where r is the matrix for the complete rotation.

A bit of pseudocode (code in my proprietary MatMate-tool):

  S = Q - Meanzl(Q)        // do the translation to the origin
  T = P - Meanzl(P)

    // get the rotation-matrices which rotate some matrix to triangular shape
  ts = gettrans(S,"tri")
  tt = gettrans(T,"tri")

    // make one rotation-metrix. the quote-symbol means transposition
  tr = ts * tt'

    // difference should be zero
  CHK = T - S*tr

Example:
We assume S and T being centered. Let
$ \small \text{ S =} \begin{bmatrix}
14.469944&22.964690&-7.581631\\
-15.275348&5.923432&23.720255\\
0.805404&-28.888122&-16.138624
     \end{bmatrix}
$
and
$ \small \text{ T =} \begin{bmatrix}
22.808501&2.515200&16.361035\\
8.393637&-5.071089&-27.109127\\
-31.202138&2.555889&10.748092
            \end{bmatrix}
$
Now you can solve for a rotation in y/z-plane, which makes the entry in $S_{1,3}=0$. The rotation-parameters are some cos/sin-values. Apply this and you get
$\small \text{ S}^{(1)} = \begin{bmatrix}
14.469944&24.183840&0.000000\\
-15.275348&-1.811476&24.381471\\
0.805404&-22.372364&-24.381471
   \end{bmatrix}$
Now you can solve for a rotation in x/y-plane, which makes the entry in $S_{1,2}=0$. The rotation-parameters are some other cos/sin-values. Apply this and you get
$\small  \text{S}^{(2)} = \begin{bmatrix}
28.182218&0.000000&0.000000\\
-9.397482&12.178056&24.381471\\
-18.784736&-12.178056&-24.381471
   \end{bmatrix}$
After that a third set of rotation-parameters cos/sin-values make S triangular. It looks then like this
$\small \text{ S}^{(3)} = \begin{bmatrix}
28.182218&0.000000&0.000000\\
-9.397482&27.253645&0.000000\\
-18.784736&-27.253645&0.000000
 \end{bmatrix}$

Because the center of your original triangle was moved to the origin, the last column (the z-coordinates) are zero/not needed, since 3 points can always be placed in a plane.
From the three rotation with their cos/sin-values you can construct a 3x3-rotation-matrix, say s.
The same can be done using the matrix T leading to a rotation-matrix t. If S and T describe in fact the same triangle, only rotated, the results are equal: $T^{(3)}=S^{(3)}$.
Then you can use the nice fact, that the inverse of a rotation-matrix is just its transpose, such that with
$\small \text{ tr =} \begin{bmatrix}
0.205215&0.860645&0.466022\\
0.946329&-0.295966&0.129867\\
0.249696&0.414359&-0.875190
      \end{bmatrix}$
we get $ T = S \cdot tr $

In principle this can also be solved using the concept of pseudoinverses: we demand
$ tr = S^{-1} \cdot T $   .
But because S has reduced rank the inverse means to divide by zero. Using SVD-decomposition (see wikipedia) the pseudoinverse can be computed if the inverse of the diagonal matrix of the SVD-factors is used (where zeros are simply left zero). This should lead to the same solution.
