KNVB Cup Final Ajax v PEC Zwolle: Who Can Make The Difference?
Posted by Harry Taylor on April 19th, 2014 05:18 PM | Cup, Opinion
Tomorrow we have an Easter treat as Ajax face PEC Zwolle in an eagerly anticipated KNVB Cup final. Zwolle are looking to win their first major honour in the clubs 103 year history in the game, whereas Frank de Boer is looking to win the domestic trophy for the first time in his 4 year tenure as Ajax manager. So which players should each side fear the most?

Here are the candidates that I feel will inflict the most damage to the opposition.
Lasse Schöne
The 27-year old has enjoyed his finest season at the Godenzonen, he has been in impeccable form scoring 13 goals in all competitions and 3 of those have come in his 4 games played in the KNVB Cup. With Christian Eriksen departing in the summer, Ajax appeared to lack someone who could deliver a deadly set-piece, however Schöne has stepped up and taken that role and his team have reaped the rewards as he has set up and scored many goals from his set-pieces, most notably his free-kick that secured his teams place in the final against AZ Alkmaar. Schöne is not just a goal-scorer and dead-ball specialist for his team, he also contributes heavily to his team through assists, and he has managed 10 this season, showing that he is vital for his team in all aspects of his play.
Mateusz Klich
The Polish international has been instrumental for the Blauwvingers in midfield, he sets the tempo for the way in which his side play and if he is given the time and space he needs then he can punish Ajax by setting up attack after attack. Klich is technically a very sound player, he also reads the game in an intelligent way always appearing to make the correct decision on a consistent basis. Although Klich isn't a deadly threat in front of goal, he has the capabilities to set up his opponents, with 9 assists this season and astonishingly he managed 4 assists in one game, showing how much of a threat he can be when he is on top form.
Davy Klaassen
The 21-year old this season has come back from an injury that kept him out of action for over 6 months last year and meant he only featured in two games last season. This season however has been a completely different story, many people had spoken out about Klaassen being the next big thing from De Toekomst and he has proven that his followers knew what they were talking about. Klaassen has played mainly in midfield this season, being the more attacking one out of the trio in midfield, and in this position he has relished as he has knocked in 10 goals this season, making him tied as Ajax's top goal scorer in the league. Areas in which he excels at include, finishing, through balls, tackling and excellent runs from deep, these impressive attributes have seen him be compared to the great Dennis Bergkamp. And with the confidence that Klaassen poses he will most certainly be a huge threat to Zwolle who will have to be at their best to stand a chance at nullifying the young Dutchman.
Fred Benson
The Ghanaian born striker has been Zwolle's main source for finding the back of the net in both the league and the KNVB Cup this campaign as he is their top goal scorer with 3 in 3 in the competition. The forward has been inconsistent with his form over the course of the season, but when he is on his game he is a cool finisher that will put away any chances that come his way. Benson is an intelligent player and if he is to play off the last man he has the necessary pace to compete with the two Ajax defenders and put them under pressure. His main problem though is that he tends to go under the radar when playing against the top teams, PSV being the only notable top team he has scored against this season; however with it being the clubs first cup final in 37 years I'm sure Ron Jans will have his main man fired up for the big occasion.
So, these are the players that I believe will make the difference, the main area in which the game will be won and lost is in the midfield as both teams possess highly skilled players that can cause serious damage if they are given the time to do so. However all will be revealed tomorrow and as both teams adopt a style of football that is all about playing on the attack at all times with flair and panache we are guaranteed a match full of action from the first whistle til the very last.

The Kuhn Station Site is the site of an archaeological dig on Silver Creek, near Edwardsville, Illinois. The site is roughly .3 hectares in area, and was home to a small village. The site is believed to be from the Mississippian period, but archaeologists also found artifacts dating from the Moorehead/Sand Prairie period, such as ceramics. As well, the village had an earthen embankment surrounding its perimeter, and a low platform mound.

The Alberta Federation of Labour is pushing for change in the wake of the H1N1 pandemic.
Concerns are being raised about why front-line workers like police and EMS have not been given the H1N1 vaccine yet.
Alberta Federation of Labour president Gil McGowan tells 660News the government should make it easier for its employees to get the vaccination.
He says, "These are people who are on the front lines, providing services that we can't do without. We feel very strongly that they should be allowed be allowed to move up to the front of the line to receive their shot, so there isn't a disruption in necessary services."
McGowan also believes the province needs to change the Employment Standards Code so legislation is in place guaranteeing workers won't be fired if they stay home because they're experiencing flu symptoms.

Termed as the Messiah of Aam Admi, Mr. Arvind Kejriwal on all accounts has been quite successful to make a brand of the Party he so vociferously launched, more so after opening its accounts in the just concluded 16 Lok Sabha Elections. The Party patriarch can be given due credit for steering the 'Aam Admi Movement' singlehandedly and make a presence felt in the temple of democracy – "The Parliament". Of late he has been on a roller coaster ride, ever since he had announced his candidacy from Varanasi – against Narendra Modi, the prime ministerial candidate of the BJP. Also the man has been severely criticized and has been dubiously termed "Bhagoda" for shunning his CM seat only after 49 days of elected governance, but be whatever 'taglines' he is accustomed to, the man can surely be given credit to put forward a different line of politics to this country. Let's see on account and ascertain some truly unknown facts about Mr. Kejriwal which give the 'Man of the Moment' a truly different dimension and make him what he is.
10. Getting the Prestigious Time Magazine 'Among Most Influential People in the World' honour
The just concluded Time magazine Most Influential people in the world, Arvind Kejriwal bagged the coveted tag by beating none other than Mr Narendra Modi, the flamboyant PM designate of the BJP. The margin between Mr. Kejriwal and Mr Modi was quite noticeable. Mr. Kejriwal was the reader's choice for a "Yes" as due to his different class and style of polity. About 84.1 % of the 1,91,586 total votes casted were on the positive side. In a stark contrast, Mr. Modi was accounted for about 2,53,826 votes out of which about 62.9% were a unanimous "No" and only 37.1% considered Mr. Modi as the one of the 100 most influential people in this world. Thus the honour given by one of the best magazines of repute elevates Mr. Kejriwal's position to first amongst equals. He is still considered a man of immense integrity, honesty and youth-connect.
9. His Experience with Mother Teresa
Not many know that what we see of Mr. Kejriwal is a total turn off from what he really was few years ago. The man out of his conscientious voice took himself to Calcutta (after quitting his Tata Steel Job after placement from IIT-Kharagpur) to see and work with Mother Teresa, for whom he had high regard. Mr. Kejriwal worked for Mother Teresa's home for the poor called "Kalighat". He had a differential experience altogether and slowly his philosophy about his religion begin to questioning him and his religion "Hinduism". He went to nearby villages as part of the program he worked in and saw lots of 'Christian Converts' who were essentially 'Hindu's', this lead to a growing belief about 'Hinduism' as a religion in the mind of young Kejriwal May be we can assume that seeds of change regarding living frugally were incorporated after Mr Kejriwal's short stint with Mother Teresa, Probably, later in his life, destiny had grandeur plans for Arvind and those were truly embarked when he laid foundation for his own self help organization called "Parivartan" (an organization against corrupt tax mafia in the locality)
8. Mr. Kejriwal as a voracious Reader
Arvind Kejriwal is a voracious reader of religion and philosophy. The man has his small library of sorts in his home in Kaushambhi, Ghaziabad (as he became the Chief Minister of Delhi, he now lives in rented Government accommodation in Delhi).The books is his prized possession and he still finds out time to read amongst the favorite of his books. He is as evocative as his personality and much of his humbleness drains from the books he has gone through, the character we see in Mr. Kejriwal can be much attributed to the feedings from the books he has read in his life.
7. Man with a different Philosophy about life
Mr. Kejriwal always have had a different orientation towards life, he has been a loner and a deep-thinker. As his friends describe him, he always tried to work on different methodologies about life. He followed Vivekananda meticulously and was much influenced by his philosophy towards 'living differently', so much so that he went on to a 'search for God' and seek questions about God from his acquaintances and people he met. Amongst his siblings, he was altogether aloof and was quite introvert in his formative years of school and student life. Probably, these were casting impressions on his personality which later in life groomed him to become a force to reckon with.
6. Regular Practitioner of Vipassana
Another facet which can be attributed to Mr. Kejriwal is that he is a follower of" Vipassana School of meditation". His faith on Buddhism clearly led him to practice this technique of Buddhist meditation. Quite recently, coming from a Varanasi, the man who lost to Mr. Modi spoke of going to his own shell and do 'Vipassana", this shows his quite articulate style of living. Certainly, Mr. Kejriwal believes in the axiom of Vipassana "that our happiness does not depend on external factors but internal being". Clearly, the man is on a 'recovery path' and wants to concentrate his entire energy for a particular aim "Remove Corruption from India at any cost".
5. Arvind Kejriwal the Activist
Another little known fact about Arvind Kejriwal is that he has been a social activist for quite some time now. As a serving Assistant Commissioner of Income tax, seeds of activism brewed and seeing the predicament of corruption in Income-Tax Deptt, he along with few like minded people started his NGO called "Parivartan" (which means Change). The main motto of such an exercise was to help people solve their income tax miseries. A remarkable 800 cases were resolved within a span of 18 months, all through the efforts of Mr. Kejriwal. Due to lack of know-how about the tax laws and more so due to un-approachability of 'Right information' to the masses, he took the initiative and acted like a catalyst to bring to light the 'Right to Information (RTI) Act'. Though through this act, the masses could get the 'Right Information' but the act had no teeth to nail the corrupt. This Anomaly led to another significant turning point for Mr. Kejriwal, and the crusader in him was actually born. Thus his fight for corruption was seeded through RTI Act, and till date he has been quite vocal in all his arguments to bring to book all the corrupt government machinery.
4. A winner All through
As the joke goes, "Mr. Kejriwal has been a winner throughout what he undertook". Going by the journey of life till now, he cracked the IIT exam on his maiden attempt; he only applied his candidature to IITs as he was quite confident of his ability to get into the elite institution. Later on, another feat which added feather in his cap was cracking IAS on his very first attempt. Finally he was made the Chief Minister of Delhi, again on his first attempt (By vociferously challenging and winning candidacy against Mrs. Shiela Dixit, the then chief minister of Delhi). As the story goes, he chose engineering over medicine and instead thought that he had a better chance to be an engineer than a doctor (though the story also goes that he sort of rebelled against the family) On those times there were only five IITs, catering about 1200 students, and his assertion was that he can crack IIT much easier than Medical Exams which had comparatively less number of seats. True to his personality, he was never in dark about his own career and wanted things upright for himself and according to his belief.
3. Awards and Recognitions
Arvind has been instrumental for the general cause of the public and has been thoroughly recognized for his ability to perform for the public grievances. Many societies and esteemed establishments have given him due recognition for his honorary work in public domain, the best one being Ramon Magsaysay award (Considered to be Asia's Noble Prize) for emergent leadership. At the college level, Arvind has shown his mettle from an earlier stage and bagged the 'Distinguish Alumnus Award 'from IIT Kharagpur for his leadership Quality. Mr. Kejriwal has been a favorite recipe for the media too and thus has been a doting muse for media channels; on this account the media channels have honored Kejriwal for his societal achievements. Arvind has received the CNN-IBN, Indian of the year award -2013 and also NDTV – Indian of the year award'2011. Clearly the class and talent of Mr. Kejriwal have been truly recognized by the jury of panelists of these prestigious awards.
2. A True Family Man
Arvind Kejriwal has been a dedicated father, son and husband to his family. Efficaciously, he has donned the roles of a family man with equanimity. He lives with his parents and wife in a rented accommodation of the Public works Deptt of Delhi Government. He has two children on which he dotes on and prefers a quite movie with his family on weekends. Though his health does not allow much, he likes to have street food (specially "Golgappe") with his children and wife. His children consider him to be a role model, in a recent interview his 12 year old son Pulkit termed him as a man of valor (as he advocates about his father "Papa mein hain Dum"). Equally vociferous is his 17 year old daughter Harshita, who says she is a follower of her father footsteps (her teachers and seniors are AAP followers).
1. Key Architect and Initiator of the Lokpal Bill
Arvind Kejriwal can be termed as the brain behind the Lokpal Bill which was presented to the parliament's Lower house- The lok Sabha, and passed in a scuttle by the congress government under elected duress. It was Arvind's key strategy which made the incumbent government kneel before the vociferous demand of the Lokpal bill – considered to be the panacea of all corruption in the country. He teamed up with social activist and another Magsaysay award winner – Shri Anna Hazare and other prominent personalities such as Kiran Bedi to draft the framework for Lokpal bill Though the Lokpal bill, in its amended avatar, is still hanging fire in Rajya Sabha, the initiation to make the government wake-up to the harsh reality of large scale corruption and bring a anti-corruption was truly catalyzed by thorough planning and efforts of Mr. Arvind Kejriwal.
Penultimately, Mr. Kejriwal is a man whom history won't forget too easily, the way he has shaped the consciousness of New Age Indian voter (10 crore new entrants were there in voting foray for 16 Lok Sabha elections). Single handedly, he has spearheaded the AAP movement to a national level. With 2% of voting share and 4 Lok Sabha seats to begin with, the Man should be a "Must look out for" in coming times. As I write this, Mr. Kejriwal is arrested by Delhi police and sentenced to Tihar Jail against a defamation case against Bjp's Nitin Gadkari,he could have avoided this term, but his ethics did not allow him to take the 'escape route' and furnish a personal bond of Rs 10000 and avoid arrest.

Confusion about the proper cremation site for former CM Tarun Gogoi of Assam
A day after his passing on Monday due to post-Covid-19 complications, a decision has yet to be made on where the veteran congressional leader and former prime minister of Assam, Tarun Gogoi, will be cremated.
The 84-year-old man had passed away on Monday night at Guwahati Medical College Hospital (GMCH) and a decision was made that the cremation would take place in Guwahati on Thursday.
Assam's congressional unit has asked the Bharatiya Janata Party-led government in the state to allocate a plot of land within the city for cremation, but the latter has yet to make any decision on the matter.
"We are seeing a plot in Amingaon (on the north bank of Brahmaputra on the outskirts of Guwahati) where we can perform the last rites on Thursday morning," Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said Tuesday.
Guwahati has two public cremation grounds, Bhootnath and Navagraha, but Congress had requested two other locations within the city where cremation could take place and a monument could be established.
"We had a discussion about this with Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal. But the areas sought by Congress are included in the wetlands and cannot be allocated for other purposes under the law. Sonapur and Amingaon (both on the outskirts of Guwahati) would be more suitable, "said Sarma.
"We had asked the Kamrup (Metropolitan) district administration to look for suitable plots within Guwahati, if possible. But they have not been able to find any such place where cremation can take place. I hope that Congress understands this, "he added.
Sarma mentioned that the Gogoi family has not requested a specific place in Guwahati for cremation and the demand for a separate area for the last rites and the construction of a monument came from the state unit of Congress.
There were requests from residents in Titabar, the assembly constituency in the Jorhat district that Gogoi represented, to perform the last rites there. But Gogoi's family has told the state government that they want the cremation to take place in Guwahati.
Despite repeated attempts, the top leaders of the Assam Congress were unavailable for comment as they are busy with functions associated with the latest Gogoi tribute.
"We are prepared to perform the last rites on Thursday. Any decision about where it will be made will be made by the state government, "said Biswajit Pegu, deputy commissioner of Kamrup (Metropolitan).
Guwahati does not have a specific memorial for former chief ministers and other dignitaries. A monument to Bharat Ratna Bhupen Hazarika, one of Assam's most important cultural icons, built on land donated by the University of Gauhati, is the only place of its kind in the city.
The assembly elections will be held in Assam in March-April next year and Gogoi's death and cremation could become a political tug of war between the opposition Congress and the ruling BJP.
Early Tuesday, Gogoi's body was transferred from GMCH to his official residence. From there he was taken to the secretary of state and the central office of the Assam Congress. In the afternoon, he moved to Srimanta Sankardeva Kalakshetra, where the public will be able to pay tribute on Wednesday.

Decision On 70th Regatta Set For Late August
July 27, 2020 | 0 Comments
Organizers for the Bermuda Gold Cup, the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club's $100,000 match racing regatta, have set August 31 as the deadline to decide whether this year's event, the planned 70th competition for the King Edward VII Trophy, will take place.
"The Bermuda Gold Cup, presented by Argo Group for the benefit of the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences [BIOS], is scheduled Oct. 25-30," a spokesperson said.
"The event of the World Match Racing Tour had been scheduled in May until the novel coronavirus COVID-19 forced the closing of Bermuda's L.F. Wade International Airport in March as Bermuda's government prohibited non-residents from entering the island. A field of 16 crews, between 65 and 70 sailors, is planned in addition to other personnel, both local and international.

"Our primary concern is the safety and health of the participants, the Club members and staff, Bermudians as a whole, and of course we defer to the Bermuda Government and their health experts to help frame those standards and protocols," said regatta chairperson Leatrice Oatley in a letter addressed to competitors.
"We have decided that Aug. 31 will be our BGC 'Go/No-Go' date to make a decision based on the COVID criteria."
"The criteria being monitored relate to travel, both globally as well as to and from Bermuda, quarantining, both in a competitor's home country and in Bermuda, testing availability, local boating restrictions with regards to social distancing and accommodations.
Oatley noted that the "criteria are dynamic and constantly changing" and that "Bermuda is working to find a new normal in the larger global scheme."
"Bermuda has fared well to date, partly through the closing of the airports from mid-March to July 1, but also from some aggressive shelter in place legislation and testing protocols," Oatley said.
"On July 1 Bermuda entered Phase 4, including the return of commercial flights. Testing refinements of residents and visitors returning to the island are being fine-tuned and sailing is easing back to the new normalcy, as are other aspects of island life."

Aggravation. This happens when the surrounding tissue becomes angry & aggravated by the acid which may now result in differen symptoms like heartburn. Slightly more uncomfortable than the occasional fiery burp, but again nothing we busy Westerners fret about. At this stage most of us go for the antacids & cooling agents so we can get on with life. This is great until eventually, what started as a harmless symptom enters the next stage. STAGE 3 – Spread At this stage, we may experience different symptoms like for example, fatigue, pain in different parts of the body or a general feeling of unwellness. We often don't connect the initial symptoms with what's going on now, and remain oblivious to the journey that acidly burp is now making. At this point, the untreated acid is looking for a place to localise, the perfect environment to flourish. This is when we enter STAGE 4- Localisation. This happens in a particularly vulnerable area of the body such as for example, a previously injured knee or weakened back muscle. The confusion here, is figuring out why it spread? After all, you took the right measures with antacids. Ayurveda gives a clear answer to this question. It's because we failed to locate the cause of the acid in its initial stage & cut it at the root. Without cutting the root we allow growth in all directions, which is great when it's positive growth. When it's negative growth it's a whole different issue. Once the disease finds its ideal environment, it begins STAGE 5 progression. Lets say the acid localised in an injured knee, more often than not it will progress to a condition like Arthritis or Rhumatism. If it localised in a weakened back muscle, it may progress to sciatica etc. At this point, it doesn't take long to enter STAGE 6 Diversification At this final stage of Samprapti, arthritis becomes Osteoarthritis or Rhumatoid Arthritis & so forth.
We all have our own ways of staying well, but for me Ayurveda does it every time. The concept of locating the problem source & cutting its root to stop growth makes perfect sense. But how do we find the time when we lead such busy & driven lives? And how do we find the source? Ayurveda teaches us the root is always in the mind. Why? Because the mind provides the perfect environment for positive/negative growth. If we change the mind, we change the progression of negativity to positivity or vice versa.
Ayurveda – (Knowledge of Life) Unlike Western medicine which compartmentalises symptoms and conditions, Ayurveda treats every cell & channel as part of the whole picture. Ayurveda works with 3 main Dosha: Pitta Vatta and Kapha. These govern the whole body system i.e. physical, psychological & spiritual.
PITTA: The Pitta dosha controls digestion, metabolism, and energy production. The primary function of Pitta is transformation. Those with a predominance of the Pitta principle have a fiery nature that manifests in both body and mind.
VATTA: Vata governs movement in the body, the activities of the nervous system, and the process of elimination.
KAPHA : Kapha governs the structure of the body. It is the principle that holds the cells together and forms the muscle, fat, bone, and sinew. The primary function of Kapha is protection. All the above according to Ayurveda, create what's known as 'SAMPRAPTI' or The progression of disease.

HomeEthiopian NewsOver 242 extremists arrested in Addis Ababa, says police
Over 242 extremists arrested in Addis Ababa, says police
Police claims that the extremists were deployed to carry out TPLF's mission in the capital by creating instability
Getu Aragaw, Addis Ababa Police Commissioner (photo : EBC)
Addis Ababa Police Commission said on Thursday that it has arrested 242 individuals who were allegedly on a mission to create chaos in the city.
Getu Aragaw, commissioner, told local journalists that the individuals were deployed by Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). What they were exactly doing and the circumstances under which they were arrested is unspecified.
He said that Addis Ababa police is "working with the federal police and community members to ensure security and peace in the capital." He called on the public to continue to work with security forces.
Furthermore, police claimed that it seized firearms including hand grenades and bombs. According to the commissioner, 18 hand grenades, 2 mines, 1 anti-tank mine, 97 radio communication devices, launcher pad, 4 combat binoculars and over 4500 ammunitions, among other things, were seized in the past five days, as reported by the state media.
In a similar development, 26 individuals in Jimma, South Ethiopia, and 25 individuals in Hawassa, also south Ethiopia, were arrested on Thursday while on an operation to carry out a mission they took from TPLF.
Jimma City Mayor, Tijani Nasser, told VOA Amharic service reporter that Ak 47 and handgun and over 700,000 Ethiopia birr worth of foreign currency was seized. He linked the operatives with the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and National Movement of Amhara (NaMA). Yusuf Ibrahim, deputy chairperson of NaMA, said that his party does not have an office in the city and that his organization has not received information about it. NaMA is one of the youngest and influential political organizations in the country that is increasingly being seen as a threat among radical ethnic nationalists' groups including OLF and TPLF.
Sidama region security office disclosed that 20 TPLF and 5 OLF members have been arrested as they were attempting to organize a youth movement, as reported by VOA Amharic.
Security authorities tend to link the increase in illegal activities in different parts of the country with the operation in the northern part of Ethiopia, which the government calls "operation to enforce the rule of law," against the TPLF leaders.
However, the operation is exhibiting hallmarks of a full fledged war. Among other things, heavy artillery are used on both sides (Federal government and TPLF forces). Federal government authorities have disclosed that a repeated air strike operation has been carried out in the past few days. Hundreds of soldiers are said to have been killed (from both sides) in addition to Ethiopian Defense Force members killed when TPLF launched a sudden attack in the evening of November 4. The BBC reported that thousands of people crossed the border to Sudan.
Avery November 14, 2020	At	1:05 am
They need to kill all TPLF members and all OLF members. Death sentence. No jail. Simply finish them. Eventually people will refuse to join these terrorist groups.

IGT lands instant games deal with D.C. Lottery

International Game Technology (IGT) has agreed a deal to provide instant ticket games and related services to the District of Columbia's Office of Lottery and Gaming (DC Lottery).
Agreed by the IGT Global Solutions Corporation, the deal will see IGT provide instant ticket services such as game planning and marketing, research and analytics, graphics support, and the production and printing of instant tickets.
The agreement is only scheduled to run for one year – through to December 1, 2020 – but also allows for up to four, one-year extensions.
"Instant tickets are a product vertical that presents strong growth opportunity for the DC Lottery," DC Lottery executive director Beth Bresnahan said. "We continuously look at ways to expand our entertainment options for players and the reach of our products at retail locations.
"The DC Lottery looks forward to continuing to deliver world-class lottery games with the help of IGT today and in the future."
The deal builds on IGT's existing relationship with the DC Lottery, having served as a print vendor to the Lottery since 2014.
IGT chief operating officer Jay Gendron added: "Over the last five years, IGT has worked closely with the DC Lottery to deliver games that engage their player community, attract new players, and deliver outstanding player experiences.
"IGT is pleased to continue working with the DC Lottery, and we look forward to helping the Lottery reach its sales goals by enhancing its instant ticket program with creative new content."

The majority of business owners have probably heard of public relations, but they might not necessarily understand what it is or what the benefits of it are.
Public relations (or PR) is used to essentially promote a business or person through a variety of channels – often through the media. It can be done through creative stories (at Radioactive PR our bread and butter is digital, creative PR – learn more here), features, interviews, reactive statements and so on.
The main reason for PR is to get a business in front of people (key stakeholders) that the company wants to reach (to get them to buy their product / service or to even just be at the receiving end of a message), in order for them to achieve their objectives (e.g. sales, sign-ups etc.).
For brand awareness. Raising awareness is particularly important for a new business, a business looking to grow or for a person who hasn't had much media exposure before (and wants to raise their profile). This awareness is achieved with a range of PR activities from creative PR, profile pieces, opinion pieces, and so on. More visibility means more brand awareness!
To increase credibility. Getting a brand or person in front of as many people as possible, whether that's through a popular news outlet, a speaker platform at a highly-regarded event or through an influencer, will increase credibility of what's being featured – as long as it's positive! Third-party endorsement goes a long way and that's essentially what PR is about.
To improve reputation. Closely linked with the two previous points is reputation. Many people associate PR with improving a person or company's reputation and that is a large, but broader, part of it. Improving reputation might be anything, at the larger scale, like handling any crisis situations, or at the smaller scale, building a good base of profile pieces and business opinion features in credible media. Even by the PR person using certain words to describe a company can help to engineer a desired reputation.
To improve SEO for a client's website. A lot of what we do is PR for SEO – or what we might refer to as digital, creative PR. We do this by getting as much coverage as we can to include links back to our clients' website. You can see an example of a recent campaign here, but you can find more examples of our work on our website. By building links to a site, will improve its SEO and therefore its position on Google (its ranking), meaning that it will appear sooner when its target audience is searching for relevant keywords.
To increase leads. If public relations is done well, it will increase the amount of leads a company receives. This is because PR has enabled the brand or person to get in front of its target audience through a range of channels and by helping to direct people to its website.
PR can be an incredibly important tool to many organisations, but it needs to be delivered in the right way by an agency who has a proven track record of generating great results.

This guide discusses strategies for reducing or compressing text to tackle reading-speed issues. If you wish to find out about additional ways to deal with reading-speed issues, please watch this short [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVz0XyEAbHU&index=8&list=PLuvL0OYxuPwxQbdq4W7TCQ7TBnW39cDRC tutorial].
Very often, although a very close (almost word-for-word) translation is possible in the target language, it would make the resulting subtitle too long for the viewers to read in the time that it is displayed on screen. This is when the translation needs to be "compressed." To compress a subtitle in translation means either not to include any equivalent of a certain part of the original text at all (since that part is superfluous), or not include a direct equivalent but express the meaning in a different way (e.g. by referring to the context in the talk). Although the way a translation can be compressed largely depends on the particular subtitle and its context, as well as on what the target language makes it possible to rephrase, there are several recurring patterns in subtitles that can be compressed across languages.
Very often, although a very close (almost word-for-word) translation is possible in the target language, it would make the resulting subtitle too long for the viewers to read in the time that it is displayed on screen (with a reading speed of over 21 characters/second), or too long to fall within the rules for the max number of characters in a line (42) or the whole subtitle (84) (learn more about these technical style rules by watching this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvNQoD32Qqo&list=PLuvL0OYxuPwxQbdq4W7TCQ7TBnW39cDRC&index=5 tutorial]). In these cases, you need to "compress" (reduce) the text in the subtitle. Transcribing is a form of translation too, from the spoken to the written language, and compressing or reducing text will also sometimes be necessary while transcribing, to create a good subtitle. To compress a subtitle means either not to include any equivalent of a certain part of the original text at all (since that part is superfluous), or not include a direct equivalent but express the meaning in a different way (e.g. by referring to the context in the talk). Although the way a subtitle can be compressed largely depends on its context, there are several recurring patterns in subtitles that can be compressed across languages.
===Compressing is not only used in translation===
Usually, even original-language subtitles are not a word-for-word transcript, but some compression needs to be employed to make them more readable. To read more about compressing in original language subtitles/captions, see the section on editing in [[Transcribing_talks#Editing_the_talk|the guide to transcribing talks]].
===Compressing, grammar, and the immediate and cultural context===
=Compressing, grammar, and the immediate and cultural context=
The extent to which a subtitle can be compressed can often be defined by certain features of the target language or the availability of immediate or cultural context.
====Compressing and the target language====
==Compressing and the subtitle language==
Below, there are many examples of how a subtitle line can be compressed. These examples are meant to inspire similar changes in the target language. Each language offers different means of expressing the same meaning in fewer words. This depends on the grammar, but also on the cultural context - sometimes one word, phrase or idiom can call up an idea that is expressed in many words in the original subtitle, because that idea is more recognizable in the culture that uses the target language of the translation. However, it may also be possible that the rules of a given target language will not make it possible to compress a subtitle line in one of the ways presented below (e.g. if the grammar of the target language requires more details to be specified explicitly than in the original subtitle, e.g. the gender of some of the things the speaker is referring to).
====Compressing and context====
==Compressing and context==
The possible extent of compression also depends on the context - either the immediate linguistic context (what was said before in the talk, or sometimes, what will be said shortly after the current subtitle), or a broader visual, auditory and cultural context (what the viewer sees and hears in the video, and what the target audience will already know due to their shared background). For example, in English captions, "the Department of Motor Vehicles" can be compressed to "DMV" and the meaning would stay the same, but this compression would not be possible when translating into a language whose users are not normally familiar with this US agency.
Similarly, a like like "Just look at this green apple" can be compressed as "Just look at it" if it was preceded by "This is a beautiful green apple," since what the word "it" refers to would be pre-defined by the immediate context. In contrast, this type of compression would probably not be possible if by saying "Just look at this green apple," the speaker introduced the green apple into the talk for the first time (e.g. by switching through to a slide with a photograph of a green apple and commenting on it). However, the immediate context that follows would also make it possible to compress this line. If the speaker said "Just look at this green apple" while showing a slide with a picture of the fruit, and immediately after added "It's the juicy green apple that I woke up dreaming of," the first subtitle ("Just look at this green apple") could safely be compressed into "Just look at this" or "Look at this," since the immediate visual context (the slide) and the next line would explain what the word "this" referred to.
Similarly, "Just look at this green apple" can be compressed as "Just look at it" if it was preceded by the sentence "This is a beautiful green apple," since what the word "it" refers to would be pre-defined by the immediate context.

===Compressing without changing the meaning===
==Compressing without changing the meaning==
When compressing the subtitles in translation, one must be careful not to change the speaker's intended meaning. If there are no line-length or subtitle-display time considerations, compressing may not be necessary. The purpose of compressing is not to "summarize" parts of the talk that the translator deems unnecessary or unimportant, but quite the opposite - to allow the viewer to get as much of the meaning of the original as possible, by creating a line that will be short enough to be read in the time that the subtitle appears on the screen. If a subtitle is too long for the time it is displayed, most viewers will not be able to finish reading it before it disappears, and in effect, a lot of the meaning will be lost on them. In such cases, when the subtitle is made shorter by getting rid of some of its non-essential parts, while preserving the message, the text will be brief enough for the audience to read and no part of it will "evaporate" due to the subtitle's disappearing too quickly. However, if it is possible to do so it without compromising the viewer's ability to follow the subtitle, one should still preserve most "non-essential" parts that add style to the original talk (although it will still be advisable to remove accidental repetitions, slips of the tongue, etc.).
===Exceptions - when not to compress===
==Exceptions - when not to compress==
A lot of the words and expressions described below can be omitted or made shorter in most cases, but from time to time, their meaning will still need to be expressed in some way in the translation. This is usually necessary when an item that can usually be omitted is important in some way in the context, e.g. used to contrast with another similar item.
For example, the word "almost" can usually be omitted from the subtitle in translation. Let's say that a speaker is talking about a dinner and just wants to let us know that they ate a lot (and then couldn't sleep because of how full they felt). The speaker says "I ate almost ten samosas." If necessary, the word "almost" can safely be removed in the translation ("I ate ten samosas"), because what is important is not that the speaker didn't eat the full ten, but that they ate a lot.

However, in a different context, the number may be important. If the speaker is talking about an eating contest, and describing the reasons why they failed, the word "almost" cannot be omitted in the translation, because it is crucial to what the speaker intends to convey, i.e. they ate almost ten - but somebody else ate the full ten, and won.

Note: The word "so" can be used in two ways - as a way to connect two sentences together or as a way to indicate that the speaker is talking about a result. Often, a speaker will begin a sentence with the word "so" simply to get the sentence started, in which case it can be omitted (e.g. "So like I said before..."). However, "so" can also be used in the sense of "thus/accordingly/consequently/therefore" (e.g. "I ran out of water. So I couldn't bake anymore") Then, it probably cannot be omitted. The word "so" can also be used inside a sentence to indicate a purpose (e.g. "Put on a sweater so you don't catch a cold"), sometimes in the expression like "so that," "so as to." This is also a case where "so" cannot be omitted.

This is also a case where "so" cannot be omitted. The same rule can be used with the word "Now;" at the beginning of the sentence, if it doesn't mean "currently," it's a connector that can usually be removed if necessary.
Note: usually, if the viewer is just presented with a statement, they will assume, from the context, that whatever belief is contained in the subtitle should be ascribed to the speaker, so it is possible to safely cut out "I think/believe." However, in some contexts, the speaker will be using "I think/believe" to distance their personal beliefs from somebody else's (in such cases, the word "I" is usually emphasized). Then, putting an equivalent of "I think/believe" into the translation may be necessary (although even then it can often be rephrased in a way that would make it shorter in the target language and still mark it as the speaker's personal view).

Then, including an equivalent of "I think/believe" in the translation may be necessary, but you can often find other ways to convey the fact that the speaker is distancing themselves from other opinions (e.g. "To me, that's not bad.").
==="Really" and other adverbials===
=="Really" and other adverbials==
Note: these adverbials are very often used simply conversationally, as a way of emphasizing the "actuality" of whatever one is talking about. However, in some cases, they are used to show contrast between what someone might have believed and what is actually true. Then, some kind of equivalent may need to be used, and the example with "but" shows just one way how that same meaning can actually be expressed using fewer words.
===Quantifiers===
==Quantifiers==
Note: the exact number or magnitude may be sometimes be significant, e.g. when it is displayed visibly on a slide or referred to later in the talk (where the viewer sees the figure is being referred to). It may not be possible to remove the quantifier from the translation in such cases.
==Idioms and metaphors==
===Idioms and metaphors===
Although it's important to convey the speaker's style as much as possible, sometimes an expression that is short in the original may have a very long equivalent that would make the translated subtitle too long. In these cases, the omission can be compensated by using an idiomatic expression in a different subtitle where it would sound right (not jar with the immediate context), thereby conveying the speaker's style in the whole talk, but not necessarily in the particular subtitle that it was necessary to compress.
==Simplifying the syntax==
=Simplifying the syntax=
The same meaning can often be expressed using a sentence with a structure that is easier for the viewer to read, and generally shorter. This can often be the case when the target language has a syntactic structure close to the original, but also a simpler, shorter way of expressing the same idea that is not that similar to what the speaker said. For example, English uses Passive Voice sentences quite often, and while some languages have an equivalent Passive Voice construction, they will also have other, more commonly used and simpler ways of expressing the same meaning.
===Joining two sentences together===
==Merging sentences==
Sometimes, the idea expressed by two sentences can be conveyed by one shorter one in the translation.
Note: this line can be interpreted in two different ways - either as the speaker reflecting about the possibility of doing something one more time, or the speaker trying to convince somebody else that something could be done over. "Could we do it over?" could be used for the latter.

=References to the non-linguistic context of the talk=
Sometimes the speaker talks about things that can be understood by the viewer by just looking at what's going on in the video or listening to its sound track. References to this immediate visual and auditory context can often be removed when translating the subtitles.
===Things you can see anyway===
==Things you can see anyway==
Note: this kind of compression is possible if the slide is being shown while the speaker is saying this or if it becomes visible shortly after. If the slide is not shown at all for some reason, or appears much later (e.g. a few sentences after), it may be advisable to leave out less (e.g. "This is a picture of John Smith"), although more extensive compression may be possible anyway if it is still obvious from the context that the speaker is referring to a slide.

KARMA is a BITCH: Hon Alice Wahome's past CATCHING UP with her after PULLING DOWN Monica Juma
REVEALED:Â Â Is MP Alice Wahome's Past Catching Up with Her? Â
The current MP for Kandara Constituency, Alice Wahome is a worried woman. This is after the revelation of her suspect past, and especially her conduct as a Lawyer in a matter that revolved around the determination of succession issues around the former Minister Mbiyu Koinange's estate.
Information we have received, in the form a letter by Eddah Wanjiru Mbiyu, one of the four wives of Mbiyu Koinange places Alice Wahome among the fraudulent lawyers, who went against a High Court decision, and forged documentation, which allowed for the illegal transfer of over 284 Million shillings, meant to settle off all the debts on the estate of the former Minister in the Jomo Kenyatta regime.
The letter suggests that the current vocal MP, received a whooping 18 million shillings, followed by another 15 million shillings after engaging in 'forgery of court documents', to justify the movement of the funds.
To see the letter, which was sent to the Chair of the Police Oversight Authority, and which also places the CID Director, Mr. Ndegwa Muhoro in the mix of things, for failing to act on the evidence to arraign the MP in court, or forward the investigation files to the DPPs Office for action, check here.

Upbeat Burt team pub on stem cells for MS comes with uneasy back story
January 20, 2019 Paul Knoepfler HSCT, multiple sclerosis, patient adverse events, Patient perspectives, stem cell cost 4
Types of Multiple Sclerosis and their impact on disability over time. Unmodified Wikimedia open source image by Osmosis.
Stem cells for MS? How promising is that? A new paper gives stronger reason for hope, but unfortunately this story is more complex than it seems on first glance.
The idea of using a stem cell-related approach to treat multiple sclerosis (MS) has been around for a long time holding major promise, but there hasn't been much in the way of high-quality trial data out there in the published literature. A paper this week from the Richard Burt team at Northwestern (NW) and conducted in part at other international sites provides a fresh boost of excitement in this area.
This cross-over study was larger than past published work. It was focused on highly active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. You can see a helpful graphic about the different types of MS and their impact on disability over time at right.
Recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) with partial immune ablation fared significantly better in this study, published in JAMA, than recipients of immunosuppression alone. Also, the very large reported differences between those getting HSCT versus standard care suggest a real, meaningful effect.
The short take-home is good news for patients but with some big wrinkles to iron out as discussed below.
Complicated back story including big patient payments
Over the years, I've had some concerns about the NW work on HSCT for autoimmune disorders like MS. Some of these issues remain on my mind. For instance, many patients apparently had to pay to enroll. These payments, depending on insurance coverage, could sometimes be very large. It seems unusual to me that some patients would have to pay maybe $100K or more to be enrolled in a trial. That kind of practice could impact the end results of the study too.
What happens to those who cannot pay?
In addition, I don't see an acknowledgement of patient financial contributions to the HSCT MS study in the new paper itself. Probably JAMA wouldn't require that (maybe in part because so few studies would require major payments by trial participants). However, in my view, why not give a likely much appreciated hat tip to all the patients who not only took risks to be trial participants, but also financially contributed to the study's funding?
Patients contributing in big ways to the financials of a study could also impact the results.
Other concerns: portrayal of ongoing trial as curative & off-study experiments on patients
In my opinion there was also a reasonable question as to whether the HSCT trials were being pitched already as curative years ago while they were still ongoing. There was buzz from patients about this as already known to work while the trial was ongoing too. This kind of thing could alter trial outcomes.
Some patients indicated that NW would give certain patients the experimental treatment in an "off-study" fashion, which was concerning to me as well and if confirmed, this would be something I'm still concerned about today. Presumably the off-study patients would still have to find large sums of money to pay toward the trial. Furthermore, the resulting paper(s) wouldn't include their data. I don't know if off-study severe adverse events or even deaths would have to be reported to the FDA.
FDA warning to team: any connection to this study?
It's also a big deal that this team received an FDA warning letter a few years back for a variety of issues including failure to promptly report patient deaths. Unfortunately, we don't know from the letter whether the deaths mentioned were amongst MS patients who were part of the group reported on in the new paper or were other patients in a different study. The new HSCT-MS paper did not mention the warning letter and it reported no patient deaths.
Numerous other issues were cited by the FDA in the warning letter too and we don't know if any of those applied to the MS work either. Maybe not, but hard to say. Do JAMA or other journals that publish clinical trials have policies on whether papers in any way connected to warning letters must mention the warnings?
Importantly, the FDA indicated later that the team had addressed the issues in the warning so that's encouraging.
Older immunosuppressants could have amplified apparent benefit of HSCT
The new study has at least one key limitation in that older immunosuppressant drugs were the focus, while newer drugs in this class work a whole lot better. The big difference in outcomes between HSCT + immunosuppression vs. immunosuppression alone would likely have been smaller in the context of new drugs. The use of older drugs in the study is attributable to the fact that this study simply began a long time ago.
Patients including some self-identifying as involved in this or similar studies at NW have had many useful perspectives in their comments on my 3 posts here on The Niche on the NW work (here's the first post from which you can click on to the second and third). The patients also often let me have it for a variety of things in my posts. They are almost without exception big fans of Dr. Burt.
Take home: good news, but still big questions
In the long run, the bottom line is that the data here are very good news, but there were bumps in the road to get here and open questions remain. I hope Dr. Burt and NW can clear things up within the public domain quickly.
A number of other groups are studying HSCT for MS too and there have been preliminary results that seem promising. Looking ahead, could HSCT-related therapies become the standard of care for certain patients with specific kinds of MS? Despite its high cost, could it even become cost-effective when compared to expensive, toxic long-term drug therapies alone? I hope so as this would help thousands of patients.

I know a lady who was treated off study for compassion reasons. She went in a wheel chair. At 6 month checkup she went with a cain and left it with Dr Burt. Walked for 1 year check up.
At 15 months she severely broke her ankle running down her stairs. She is completely recovered and living a great life
I was rejected because I had no active lesions and was 60. My insurance was willing to pay 100%.
Because he turns so many away many are going to Russia and Mexico with same results. Less than 1/2 the cost also
This has been on going for 15 years. People need to get on HSCT; or, they pay upwards to 98,000 (yes, that's right) a year for, in my case, Gilenya. This is a rip-off. Pharma companies have us. The only hope is to do HSCT, readjust your diet and get 3 – 5 days of exercise. You show me whose done that and it not work and I'll show you a liar.

Paul, thanks for this account of the back story. It's very helpful. After reading the paper (and granted, I did not look at any supplementary material), I didn't sense any reason to question the study or researchers. I found out via Leigh Turner on Twitter about the FDA letter (and had my editor pull a story that I wrote on the study). There is a passing mention in the accompanying editorial by Harold Atkins, MD – "There is concern among some treating physicians about the rigor of HSCT and the risks associated with the procedure." There is no mention of patient payments or the FDA letter.
JAMA could have easily added a note or box about the FDA letter and payments in the interest of full disclosure. I'm not sure what else I should have done as a medical reporter. I count on distinguished journals like JAMA to provide an accurate and full picture of the studies that it publishes. Mainstream media did not cover either of these concerns. Nor did well-respected medical and science publications (though their coverage was much deeper and more nuanced). We'll still publish the article – but I am adding text about patient payments and FDA taking an unusual step in sending a letter. To my mind, not do do so is akin to not mentioning COIs or pharma study support. Maybe none of this makes a difference in the results, but it's important to have the information nonetheless.
@Kerri,
I'm glad this was helpful. I wish we knew more conclusively whether the warning letter was related to the JAMA study or not.
I'm not sure JAMA or any other journal would require disclosure of patient financial contributions to a clinical trial, but maybe they should.
Interestingly, as a side note on Twitter there was discussion by some with hematopoietic stem cell expertise more broadly about how the approach used in this JAMA study could arguably not really be considered a "stem cell" therapy, but rather the stem cells along with other non-stem cells may simply be viewed as allowing the patient to recover from the primary treatment, which is the immunoablation. Still, I don't think it's known for sure whether perhaps the stem cells do have some other roles such as suppression of remaining auto-reactive cells. Paul


"The Gold Regions of the West," Charleston (SC) Mercury, February 24, 1859, p. 4: 1.
THE GOLD REGIONS OF THE WEST. – There can be little doubt, from the spirit now at work, that when the travel westward towards Pike's Peak and the Pacific opens in the coming spring, there will be a large emigration in those directions. Those who design to cast their fortunes in the gold fields of Nebraska, Kansas or Fraser river, will most probably seek those regions through Missouri, and by the new road about to be opened to the Pacific through the British possessions, by way of St. Paul, Minnesota. The yet unorganized territory of Arizona, which holds forth silver promises to the adventurous, will most probably be reached through the Texas route. Two colonization and emigration companies are already in the field, offering tempting terms to those who may desire to explore the silver mines and other mineral secreta of that region, Mexico and Central America. One of these is under the management of General Henningsen, and the other under that of his quondam filibustering confrere, Col. Lockridge.

While you are waiting for your Tesla Model 3 to finally arrive—you might want to consider bespoking a Model S or X instead.
T Sportline of West Hollywood, California bills itself as the "World's First Tesla Tuner" and has modified them from mild to wild for the past five years.
The tuner's recent creation is called Project Malibu—it's a P100D satin black beauty with a completely new bespoke interior reupholstered in white leather. The combination looks fantastic and reminds us of a tasty black and white cookie.
The Model S's owner contacted the T Sportline before ordering his Tesla from Fremont, which was mostly a stock P100D with puny 19-inch wheels and a sad bargain basement cloth interior.
Its wheels were swapped with the tuner's 21-inch forged ones ($7,200) that are nearly 20 percent lighter than Tesla's Twin Turbines T Sport claims.
The exterior received a chrome delete package in satin black ($1,800), an air suspension kit ($500), and a gloss carbon-fiber sport package ($3,900) that includes a front apron, rear diffuser, and spoiler.
Additionally the Model S received an Audiophile Sound Upgrade ($10,500) that includes 13-speakers and a banging amplifier with over 1,300 watts of power.
The results look great and it takes about six weeks for the turnaround. Just expect to spend at least $60,000 to transform your Tesla into something like the Project Malibu.

Q: Importing jsx in tsx I have inherited a bit of a legacy project with JSX. I am in the process of converting the JSX into TSX.
Currently while importing JSX and JS files in TSX. I get an error Cannot find module 'config/abc_module' or its corresponding type declarations..
I understand the types are missing as it is a JS file. I have added JSDoc types, but nothing seems to help. What would be the best way to add types in JSX files to use them in TSX.
I have quite a few files in JS, and some I cannot even convert due to specific reasons. I have searched a lot and read quite a few articles, but can't seem to find any specific way forward. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A: *

*make a global.d.ts file in your root directory where all your code files are

*in file write lines:

declare module 'path/to/your/js/or/jsx'
now these js/jsx files will resolve as modules to import in your typescript code! enjoy!
Edit: also make sure your tsconfig.json is configured to let you mix ts/js

A: You can probably just change the extensions from .js or .jsx -> .tsx. TypeScript is supposed to be a superset of JavaScript.

Livent expands in Bessemer City
Bessemer City Groundbreaking
The Livent Corp. is expanding its facilities in Bessemer City in a $16 million effort that will add 30 new jobs and increase production capacities.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion was held last week and the work is expected to be complete by late 2020.
The expansion will allow Livent to increase production of lithium hydroxide by 5,000 metric tons per year.
In a press release, a Livent spokesperson explained that lithium hydroxide is an essential component of the advanced lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, as well as in high performance industrial greasers and other applications.
In addition to the 30 new jobs at the facility, work on the expansion is expected to employ 85 construction workers.
In the press release, Livent President and CEO Paul Graves said, "We are grateful for the continued support and collaboration of the local and state governments in North Carolina for helping make this expansion possible.
Graves added that, "Bessemer City is one of the cornerstones of Livent's business, and is becoming increasingly more important to many of our customers who want the flexibility of sourcing their lithium products from the Western Hemisphere."
During the groundbreaking, Livent's Global Head of Manufacturing and Operations Barbara Fochtman said, "Many of our Bessemer City employees are actively engaged in the community and excited about the opportunities our expansion will provide."
Bessemer City Mayor Becky Smith, speaking at the groundbreaking, called Livent a "key community partner" for the western Gaston County municipality.
"Bessemer City's future is bright," she said, "as our region continues to grow and and our existing corporate partners such as Livent strive to make innovations that bring new developments to our community."
"We are excited to see Livent powering the world's future today, right here in Bessemer City," she concluded.

On stories and why we write them
New techniques for analyzing the brain support the notion that we're hardwired for story. When science writer Stephen Hall created a story in his head during an MRI brain scan, an area the size of sugar cube lit up in his right frontal lobe. In his report for the New York Times Magazine, Hall labeled that thimbleful of brain, located in the inferior frontal gyrus, "the storytelling area." It linked with other brain centers, such as the visual cortex. All told, they formed what Hall described as the brain's "storytelling system."
Hall's example hardly qualifies as a rigorous scientific study, but is strongly suggests a biology of story. To me, that makes perfect sense. The myriad ways we use story to cope with the world make it hard to imagine that narrative isn't part of our fundamental nature. As Barbara Hardy, the English literary critic, put it, "We dream in narrative, daydream in narrative, remember, anticipate, hope, despair, believe, doubt, plan, revise, criticize, construct, gossip, learn, hate, and love, by narrative."…
We see our own lives as a kind of narrative, too, which may explain why we're so fascinated by the narratives of others. Psychologists have studied the way we picture our own life stories. They've found, according to the New York Times, that each of us has a kind of internal screenplay, and that "the way we visualize each scene not only shapes how we think about ourselves, but also how we behave." ~Storycraft: The Complete Guide to Writing Narrative Nonfiction by Jack Hart
I've been thinking and reading a lot about story and how we tell stories and why. "It has been said that next to hunger and thirst, our most basic human need is for storytelling." (Khalil Gibran) I suppose we all have our reasons for telling stories and, for writers, why we write them, but there's something about storytelling that particularly intrigues me (and, yes, agitates me): that we've been telling stories for so long, since pre-historic time, and still, writing carries such little weight in this world, or at least that's been my experience. And, maybe that's why I kept my stories to myself for so long.
I remember a few years ago, someone told me, "You know, a lot of people are wondering why you're writing a memoir when you're only 35. I mean, what can you write about, V?" I was livid, of course, I mean, who can tell me how much or what I've lived, right? This got me thinking about how much I've internalized this bullshit, this discouragement of my writing and my dreams and what makes me so fucking happy I wanna do the running man in my livingroom right now as I think about it.
When I took a writing class in junior high, I was encouraged but I'm not sure it was taken seriously. My social studies teacher once said, "Oh, that's a great hobby to have, Vanessa." She had just commended me on how well I'd written a research paper and I'd told her that I love to write.
In high school, I was often told that I was a great writer, that I had a gift, a talent, but no one ever told me I should think about becoming a writer. And I never really considered it either, until maybe my junior year when a professor who knew me as an avid reader walked over to me one day as I was sitting on the mezzanine overlooking the lunchroom, my head buried in a book, and said, "Here, you should read this, Vanessa." He handed me How the Garcia Girls Lost their Accents. Julia Alvarez looked like me and talked like me and came from a Spanish-speaking country like my people did, and I thought, "Wow, my people write? Maybe, just maybe…"
And then I went to Columbia University where a professor told me, "this isn't writing" when he handed back a piece I'd slaved over, and he didn't have the cojones to look at me when he said it. And when I talked to my friends about our future plans and I mentioned writing, I was asked, "Yeah, but what else are you gonna do?" as if writing wasn't enough, as if it wasn't a real job, a real possibility.
I was told in so many direct and indirect ways that writing wasn't something I should pursue as a profession. After such an elite education, no one becomes a writer, you go into law or medicine or teaching, but never a writer, so I did what was expected of me, and all these years later, after quitting my job three years ago to write and teach, to do what people told me I shouldn't do, I'm still being told in so many ways that I should be doing more. And what pray tell is more? I'm not sure.
This morning I received an FB message from a woman I've known for many years. She just got my first novel Woman's Cry and wanted me to know that she was up until 2am reading it. "I couldn't put it down," she wrote.
It took me so long to dredge up the ovaries to write that book. To consider myself worthy of doing it. To consider my writing good enough, my ideas good enough, myself good enough. Writing it is now a blur, and, I admit, I cringe when people mention it to me. Why? Because I'm such a different writer now and there's so much I'd do different. Like the sex scenes, lord the sex scenes…Let's just say that I've learned that less is more. That said, I'm gonna rep that book forever because when I wrote it, I knew, I owned that I am a writer and I've never let anyone take that from me since.
But there's been a leap in my evolution as a writer as of late. I think it started when I was prepping for VONA and reading the hundreds (yes, there were hundreds) of pages of pre-reading that David Mura sent us. (I swear I had shaken baby syndrome before I even got on the flight!) In his writings on process and revision, Mura writes:
Instead writing is an act of acceptance. Or rather it requires acceptance–of yourself, of who you are at this moment, of your unconscious. You should approach it as would a Zen master, living in the moment rather than worrying about the future or the results of your activity. You must realize that nothing you do now will make you smarter, more knowledgeable, more talented, sexier, more beautiful, more charismatic. You are simply who you are, and this is the self that will write at this moment, so you ought to make the best of this.
My brother's death has done many things to me, including show me a grief that I've never known and wouldn't wish on anyone. It's also put fire under my ass. It's made me realize that this life is a short one and I have to get to doing the things I want to do: like write and finish this book and start the next one and just write, write, write. And, yeah, get fucking published because while some writers don't write to get published and it's not the ultimate goal, really, still, I want to be published in literary journals and magazines. I want my writing out there and there's nothing wrong with that. But in order to get your work out there, you have to submit!
For some time I've looked into and thought about how memoir writers get their name and work out there—by submitting excerpts to journals and anthologies and the like. But, I hadn't really done it too much. I'd let the few rejections I'd gotten get to me, and didn't acknowledge the acceptances, like having an essay published in the upcoming Dismantle: An Anthology of Writing From the VONA/Voices Writers Workshop. I'd gotten obsessive in my work so I never felt it was good enough. I was self-sabotaging.
….I've thought recently, when talking to many writers, that they are too reluctant to write their bad poems. Maybe it's related to that thing that started our conversation, that everyone has all kinds of dreams, everyone has all kinds of poems. Some people are so afraid of–maybe this is where the risk comes in–so afraid of writing a vulnerable, or an unfashionable, or just a kind of cheap poem, that they're inhibited as if their dreams, their poems, get blocked for a long time. I don't know how to get out of this speech that I'm on, but I often have a feeling that people's standards are too high, and so the way I was going to enhance this was to say that some people don't have the nerve to write bad poems, but I do….
…almost every day I write and so there's a lot written, and if my standards are low enough, I can say I write a lot of poems, and if my standards are as high as some people's, of course, I would dam up most of those so as not to be damned later by those who read them. (from I Would Like To Also Mention Aluminum: An Interview with William Stafford)
In other words: The key to solving writer's block is "lower your standards."
Stafford views writing as a process rather than the production of a product: "A writer is not so much someone who has something to say as he is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things he would not have thought of if he had not started to say them. That is, he does not draw on a reservoir; instead, he engages in an activity that brings to him a whole succession of unforeseen stories, poems, essays, plays, laws, philosophies, religions…."
Stafford observes that one key to unlocking this process is "just plain receptivity." But what does this mean? And how does this process operate?
One way I look at this is that language is not created by your conscious mind but by your unconscious. In this view, what you are receptive to is the unconscious.
When an uptight, hyper-critical, writer sits down to write, the unconscious mind throws up a sentence and the writer's conscious mind wags its finger and goes, "Not good enough." Perhaps the writer even crosses that sentence out or erases it, as if the unconscious mind were a bad dog who has soiled the unblemished carpet.
Then the unconscious mind sends up another sentence, and the conscious mind goes again, "Not good enough."
Then, a third sentence: "Not good enough. A fourth sentence: "Not good enough."
At a certain point the unconscious mind finally says, "Fuck you! I'm not sending up anything more. You don't like what I'm doing, well, I'm going to stop working, I'm going on strike."
Hence, writer's block.
The key then is to be willing to accept whatever the unconscious mind throws up. In order to do this, you need to demote or push aside the conscious mind, and give more respect and attention to the unconscious. ~David Mura
My brother's death made me stop that shit. Stop obsessing and over-analyzing and getting in my own way. Since then, I've established this process of just sitting with what's walking with me: a line or lines I read, something I overheard, a conversation, an overpowering feeling of grief or anger or love, whatever. I sit down and I write. I let whatever wants to come out, come out. And in doing so, I've produced some really powerful writing (especially on this blog), and I've started submitting it. This morning I got word that I passed the first round of an acceptance process to get published in a pretty reputable lit mag and I'm ecstatic.
I've applied to several residencies because I know I need time to sit with these stories and put them together without having to worry about anything else, if only for two weeks.
I'm getting some work together for a few upcoming non-fiction contests, including Lumina, judged by Cheryl Strayed who think totally fucking rocks, and I'm excited and anxious and, yeah, just a little bit giddy. What matters ultimately isn't whether I win or not, or whether I get these pieces published or whether I get into these residencies. (Well, that's not what matters right now at least.) What matters is that I'm actually shifting my view of myself and my work. I'm being proactive. I'm writing more and reading tons and really putting a whole new energy into this writing life I created.
Yesterday, when my mother introduced me to the principal of her school and her co-workers, a few of them said, "Oh, you're the writer!" I looked at my mom and she was beaming. Shit, y'all, whether the moves I'm making do anything or go anywhere, I can say that that moment made it all worth the while.
E.L. Doctorow once said that "writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." You don't have to see where you're going, you don't have to see your destination or everything you will pass along the way. You just have to see two or three feet ahead of you. ~Ann Lamott, Bird by Bird
This is the case with memoirs, too. The structure of it, the piecing together happens only when you sit down and write. The epiphanies rarely happen in your head, you have to get to the writing, and that's what I've been doing. It's what I needed to remind myself to go back in on this memoir after spending the summer chronicling my mother's stories without knowing where or how they'd fit into the book. I'm back all in and I'm focusing on the headlights, on writing these essays that are brewing and bubbling over and feeding the memoir as I go, and I'm working, trudging, poco a poco, dia a dia. Because, really, that's all we've got.
