Welcome back to The Trading Post! In today's post, we discuss the home furnishing industry's favorite holiday: High Point Market.
"Market" started in 1909 in High Point, North Carolina, showcasing local furniture, providing a more functional and regional location for furniture manufacturers to conduct business. In 1921, it became an immeasurably more valuable resource for the Southern furniture market when, with its sights set on becoming the world's Furniture City, High Point built the Southern Furniture Exposition Building, now the International Home Furnishings Center (IHFC), between Commerce, Green, Wrenn, and Hamilton in downtown High Point. Throughout the 1940s and 1980s the Southern furniture market grew and expanded immensely; in 1989, High Point assumed the mantle of "Furniture Capital of the World".
Today High Point Market remains the world's largest and most important furniture exposition, Over 75,000 people venture to High Point for each Spring and Fall market . Included in those 75,000 was be Mystic's Jay Taylor, Eric Kainer and me.
Jay and Eric were testing trends: assessing competition, and recruiting a top sales team. We are looking for talented and diligent sales representatives; please recommend your favorite sales professional, or send your qualifications to us. We'd love your advice.
This year at market I worked with Century Furniture. I've assisted with the exhibit set up – it's incredible! A majority of Century's furniture is American-made and impeccably designed. Please share what your plans for Market were in the comments below. Also, this coming Thursday will begin Throwback Thursdays, so be sure to return for that.

ORANGE SUPPORTS THE CHARITY TO RE-OPEN STRAWBERRY FIELD FOREVER
Everybody knows the song Strawberry Fields Forever – one of the most famous songs the Beatles ever recorded – but few people know the story behind the song.
Strawberry Field is in Liverpool, close to where John Lennon grew up. He had a troubled childhood, removed from the care of his mother when he was just a few years old and brought up by his aunt. For him, Strawberry Field was a place of peace and refuge, a quiet spot where he could go to climb trees and dream his dreams. A place where 'nothing is real and nothing to get hung about'.
At the time when John Lennon was growing up, Strawberry Field was a Salvation Army children's home for the city's most vulnerable children. He never forgot this idyllic location, and when the Beatles recorded Strawberry Fields Forever in 1967, they made sure that nobody else would forget it either.
Fifty years on from the release of the song, we want to open the gates of Strawberry Field once again.
The vision for Strawberry Field is to weave together educational, cultural, heritage and spiritual exploration in one bold, imaginative plan. To create a vibrant visitor experience that inspires people today as much as the place inspired the young John Lennon. This will include a multi-media exhibition telling stories from Strawberry Field, the song and Lennon's early years. It will also include a journey through a newly created love and peace garden and woodlands.
Aspirations to create a training hub on the site is the result of careful research into the needs of young people in Merseyside. There is an urgent need for training and work placement opportunities to help young people with learning disabilities make the transition from school to adulthood. It is crucial to our vision that the visitor experience and training hub should support each other; that the young trainees gain valuable vocational experience through the visitor facilities – the shop, restaurants, gardens and exhibitions.
It has been estimated that only 7 per cent of people with learning disabilities in the UK are in paid employment. Adults and children with learning disabilities have more difficulties than others their age in dealing with complicated issues or a new situation. Many have problems communicating and interacting with other people. Because of these difficulties, many lose self-confidence.
Yet experience shows that, if people with learning difficulties receive the support they need in early life, many of these barriers to employment can be overcome. This is precisely what the new training hub at Strawberry Field is designed to help them achieve, by providing education, training, valuable work placements and personal development for young people typically aged 18–25.
To be able to support this project is an absolute pleasure. The Salvation Army's dedication to helping others, no matter their background, is truly a gift to our troubled world – and I'm proud to join them in this initiative.
My love of The Beatles' music and Liverpool has not waned in all these years, and for Strawberry Field to reopen with a dedicated mission of charitable work and peace would, no doubt, have made John Lennon so very happy.
Cliff CooperFounder and CEO, Orange Amplification
Even just £6 will help re-open the Strawberry Field gates and help rebuild the garden that John Lennon played in when he was a boy. Further donations will help the charity to offer young people with learning disabilities training and employment.
With every donation of £6 and above, you will receive a special, limited edition postcard as above.

Ted L. Koehler (July 14, 1894 – January 17, 1973) was an American lyricist. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1972.

Life and career

Homemade Vegan Stuffing For Your Holiday Feast!
It's National Stuffing Day! And we've got a super easy and delicious recipe for you to please the entire family!
The key to a great stuffing is the bread. You can use any kind, as long as it's day old, meaning dried out but not to the point where it's like a crouton. You can cube it and let it sit out overnight or for at least a couple hours. I used a French baguette made in the grocery store, as most are dairy- and egg-free. (Doesn't hurt to check though!).
Preheat oven to 350-degrees F and grease a baking pan.
Sauté your diced veggies in some oil or vegan butter (like Earth Balance) in a large pot and then add your cubed bread.
Slowly pour in the veggie broth. You'll want the bread to be damp – not soaked – so you may only use one cup versus two.
Add the spices and mix it all up!
Dish into your greased baking pan and cover with foil. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Uncover and turn oven to 400-degrees F and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the top has browned nicely.
Serve next to vegan mashed potatoes and gravy, cranberry sauce and your favorite vegan holiday roast and enjoy! Oh and you mustn't forget pumpkin pie!!

What Makes Balsamic Vinegar Balsamic? Can It Be Made at Home?
Balsamic vinegar, "aceto balsamico" in Italian, is in no way easy to make at home.
For starters, it's not even really vinegar.
Real vinegar comes from the fermentation of alcohol into acetic acid.
Indeed, the word vinegar comes from the Old French"vinaigre," which means"sour wine."
Balsamic vinegar, in contrast, is made from the juice of white Trebbiano grapes, the next most widely planted grape globally. Juice from Lambrusco grapes or other varieties may be blended in, also.
The juice, or "mosto," is boiled down, or reduced, to make a thick syrup called "mosto cotto."
Then some powerful, older balsamic vinegar "mother of vinegar" -- is added to make sure that the ideal microorganisms are present to turn sugar into alcohol and alcohol into acetic acid.
The microorganisms then go to work gradually as the syrup is aged over at least 12 years at a series of successively smaller wooden barrels made of different woods, such as chestnut, acacia, cherry, oak, mulberry, and ash. Juniper wood can be utilized, as well.
The process requires meticulous care.
The barrels gradually break down but are repeatedly reinforced to maintain them intact, because they maintain from the valuable microorganisms that do the real job of transformation.
Truly authentic aceto balsamico is made in Modena or Reggio Emilia in Italy.
Imitation balsamic vinegars are made by adding colorings and flavorings to vinegar. They are cheaper and easier to produce in large quantities but a very long way from the genuine article in taste.
Balsamic vinegar may have curative properties, but that has not been well researched. It is a fantastic bet that the polyphenolic compounds present in the grapes are healthy.
But probably the greatest medicinal benefit is the good feeling derived from the pleasure of swallowing balsamic vinegar.


To develop EP methodology for Nasal sprays for aerodynamic particle size analysis of two fractions (<10µm & >10µm) thus proposing a standardized approach to measuring this parameter.
Aerodynamic particle size analytical technique selection.
Measurements were made using either a short stack ACI or an NGI with <9µm or 10µm being recorded.
A consensus opinion was sought by surveying industry and government agencies.
These systems were then tested to see if the method can distinguish between them and thus a scientific and practical approach is proposed.
Two nasal posts were persued – glass & metal. Inter & intra-Lab data will be collected to compare the performance of each method.
Several discussions have been held with the EMA Inhalanda group who are in agreement with the approach and interested to review any proposed methods from EPAG with regard to measuring % < 10µm in nasal sprays thus expert opinion and data have been shared with regulatory agencies.
The information will also be published and also shared with industry at a respiratory seminar in the future.

Berlin Museum Launches Unprecedented Showcase of Yad Vashem's Holocaust Art
The German History Museum exhibition is the biggest ever organized outside of Israel, of works from Jerusalem-based institution. Only one artist whose works are on display has survived.

In advance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Wednesday, Berlin's German History Museum has opened an exhibition of works entitled "Art from the Holocaust."

"They convey to the viewer a feeling of authenticity and originality that broadcasts great suffering, and at the same time the power and pride of the Jewish victims who painted them," said Chancellor Angela Merkel, speaking at the opening on Monday. "We in Germany," she added, "must not forget that friendship with Israel is not a given, but borders on a miracle."
The 100 works on display were selected from a collection of nearly 10,000 that are housed at the Jerusalem-based Yad Vashem Holocaust authority. The exhibition in Berlin is the biggest and most comprehensive exhibition of works from Yad Vashem ever displayed outside Israel. Among the artists whose work is being featured are well-known names like Felix Nussbaum and Ludwig Meidner.
The only living survivor whose works are on show is Jewish-American artist Nelly Toll, who also attended the opening.
Born in 1935 in Lvov, Toll was expelled in 1941 to the ghetto, where her brother was murdered in a Nazi roundup. Her father then arranged a hiding place for her and her mother with Christian friends in the city. Toll drew, wrote stories and kept a diary to pass the time while she was confined. She only discovered after the city's liberation that she and her mother were the soul survivors in their family.
"These rare drawings and paintings, the work of 50 artists, some half of whom were murdered in the Holocaust, reflect the tension between the need to document and the artists' desire to escape into the realms of imagination, art and beauty," said Eliad Moreh-Rosenberg, the exhibition's curator and director of Yad Vashem's art department.
"This exhibition allows for a rare encounter, specifically in Berlin, between contemporary spectators and those that lived through the events of the Shoah," said Avner Shalev, the Yad Vashem chairman. "Each work of art from our unique collection constitutes a living testimony from the Holocaust, as well as a declaration of the indomitable human spirit that refuses to surrender."
The impetus for organizing the exhibition came from the popular German newspaper Bild. In 2009, the paper donated to Yad Vashem 30 drawings of the Auschwitz concentration camp, which had been found a year earlier in an abandoned apartment in Berlin and were purchased by Bild.

Canon press release:
Family Tradition: The New EOS C300 Mark III Cinema Camera Is A Super 35mm Modular Workhorse
Equipped With a Newly-Designed 4K Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor and DIGIC DV 7 Image Processor, the Camera Also Features Internal Cinema RAW Light Recording
MELVILLE, NY, April 20, 2020 – Adding to its robust and expansive line up of Cinema EOS digital cinema cameras, Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is excited to announce the EOS C300 Mark III. The next-generation Super 35mm workhorse features a new Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor and, like the full-frame EOS C500 Mark II digital cinema camera, employs a modular design and an interchangeable lens mount optional accessory that allows users to easily customize the camera according to the needs of each project, making it an ideal tool for a wide range of video content production. The introduction of C300 Mark III, alongside the already announced C500 Mark II, signal Canon's equal and high attention to the two important constituencies of Super 35mm and full-frame content creation.
"Creativity should never be hampered by a lack of choice. Canon understands that, which is why we continue to expand and build upon our award-winning lineup of Cinema EOS cameras," said Tatsuro "Tony" Kano, executive vice president of the Canon U.S.A., Inc.

Information Leaks Ahead Of Canon Cinema Announcement (C300 Mark III)
Information about the upcoming Canon gear leaked ahead of the live-streamed Canon announcement expected today at 1pm EST. Canon will announce the C300 Mark III and lenses.
Product description for the Canon Cinema C300 Mark III, the CINE-SERVO 25-250mm T2.95-3.95 and CJ18ex7.6B KASE S lenses leaked over the web.
Canon Cinema C300 Mark III:
Adding to its robust and expansive line up of Cinema EOS digital cinema cameras, the EOS C300 Mark III is Canon's next-generation Super 35mm workhorse. The camera features a new Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor, and like the full-frame EOS C500 Mark II digital cinema camera, employs a modular design and an interchangeable lens mount that allows users to easily customize the camera according to the needs of each project, making it an ideal tool for a wide range of video content production. The introduction of these two cameras signal Canon's equal and high attention to the two important constituencies of Super 35mm and full-frame content creation.
The newly developed 4K Super 35mm DGO imaging system captures high dynamic range content by reading out each pixel through two separate gains. One gain prioritizes saturation in highlight areas while the other suppresses noise in the shadows. The result is an image with 16+ stops of dynamic range, clean rich shadows and vibrant highlights in up to 4K/60p. In 2K recording mode, The EOS C300 Mark III features recording speeds up to 180p. Equipped with Canon's latest video imaging processor, the DIGIC DV 7, the camera achieves more fluid and efficient recording of 4K and HDR and can process high-speed video recording, including 4K at 120p.
The EOS C300 Mark III camera utilizes Cinema RAW Light a very powerful and useful tool for helping to cut the data size of a file to about one-third to one-fifth of a similar Cinema RAW file, without losing grading flexibility. In addition to being able to record 4K and 2K RAW data internally without using an external recorder, the camera also supports XF-AVC (with a choice of Intra or LongGOP), offering flexible options in recording durations..
The EOS C300 Mark III camera is modular and customizable, just like the EOS C500 Mark II. Included with the camera are 13 accessories, such as a 4.3-inch LCD monitor and the GR-V1 grip, and users can choose from a wide range of additional accessories that allow them to configure the EOS C300 Mark III to their preferences. Optional accessories include the EVF-V70 electronic viewfinder, SU-15 shoulder support unit and EU-V1 and EU-V2 expansion units. The EU-V1 expansion unit allows for gen-lock, sync out, remote use and ethernet connection, while EU-V2 expansion unit features those functions plus a V-mount battery connection, two analog XLR audio ports and 24v DC Out. Additionally, the mount kits (sold separately) allow users to exchange the EF mount with an EF cinema lock mount or PL mount.
Additional features of the Canon EOS C300 Mark III include:
• 4K DCI/UHD up to 120 fps and 2K/HD up to 180 fps — with 4:2:2 10-bit XF-AVC recording
• 2 CFexpress media card slots
• Compatibility with EF and PL lenses as well as anamorphic and spherical lenses
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF, up to 120fps
• 5-axis electronic image stabilization, which can be utilized even without the use of a lens with IS functionally
• Support for Canon Log 2 and 3
• Four-channel recording that supports 4 XLR inputs with the use of the EU-V2 expansion unit
• User LUT allowing users to upload and apply custom LUTs
• The camera body is approximately 6 in (width) x 5.8 in (height) x 6.6 in (depth) with a bodyweight of approximately 3.9 lbs., making it compact and lightweight.

This marks the third civil penalty levied against U.S. Steel since June of 2018, totaling more than $2 million.
between ACHD and the EPA.
On June 28, 2018, ACHD issued an enforcement order against U.S. Steel that also included a civil penalty of more than $1 million because of a decrease in compliance over time at its Clairton Coke Works.
Terms of the order included that if U.S. Steel's Clairton Coke Works does not improve violations in two sequential quarters of 2019 (Jan 1-June 30), two of the worst performing batteries will be put on hot idle. U.S. Steel appealed this order and it is currently in the appeals process with the hearing officer. A written decision will be issued in the future.
On Oct. 18, 2018, the Health Department issued an additional civil penalty, a fine of $620,316, against U.S. Steel for continued emissions problems for the second quarter of 2018 at the Clairton Coke Works facility, as there was an increase in the number of violations over the previous quarter. U.S. Steel has appealed this civil penalty. A hearing to determine the merits of the appeal will be held on June 17, 2019 (date subject to change).
On Feb. 28, 2019, ACHD issued an enforcement order against U.S. Steel's Mon Valley Works (Edgar Thomson Plant, Irvin Plant and Clairton Coke Works) for continued Article XXI permit violations for daily sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions after the December 24, 2018, fire occurred at the Clairton Coke Works. On March 12, 2019, ACHD revised its enforcement order. The action was taken in response to information submitted by U.S. Steel on March 7, 2019, demonstrating that portions of the February 28th order could result in greater short-term emissions. Per the revised order, U.S. Steel is required to extend coking times to 27 hours, have specific equipment operational by April 1, 2019, and have 100 percent desulfurization back online by April 15, 2019. Additional enforcement actions will follow if these deadlines are not met.

It looks like the fourth film in the beloved action franchise may explore
'John Wick 3' Ending Explained: How Parabellum Clearly Sets-Up a Sequel
by Blake Harper
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, starring Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, and Ian McShane, comes to theaters this week, hoping to further bolster Reeves' resume as the greatest movie action star of all time. And while you may not have seen a movie in theaters since the last John Wick, you're going to want to hire a sitter so you can watch the titular assassin creatively destroy anyone stupid enough to get in his way. But beyond wondering what Wick is eating in between ass-kickings, you may find yourself asking a key question: Are more John Wick movies coming?
It's a fair question. After all, the John Wick franchise has managed to become an unexpected cultural phenomenon that is currently the biggest action series outside of the Fast & Furious (which, to be fair, is closer to a superhero franchise than action at this point). Plus, based on its title, you likely deduced that John Wick: Chapter 3 is in fact, the third John Wick movie, so a sequel wouldn't exactly be a shock. Does Parabellum leave room for another sequel? Or is this the last we will see of the titular assassin? We have the answer.
WARNING: This post contains massive spoilers about the ending of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum so if you haven't seen it, stop reading.
At the end of John Wick 3, Wick has survived the nonstop onslaught of trained killers and returns to the Continental Hotel to team up with Winston (Ian McShane) in order to fight off the High Table's team of mercenaries. Winston manages to negotiate a peace offering with The Adjudicator (Asia Kate Dillon), a merciless High Table representative, by betraying Wick and pushing him off the Continental's roof, presumably to his death.
Except, Wick, of course, is not dead and before his body can be recovered by the High Table, he is grabbed and taken to the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), an underground crime lord who was punished (cut six times) by The Adjudicator earlier in the movie for helping John Wick in the second film. The Bowery King is none too pleased with the way he was treated by the High Table and he seems to suggest that he and Wick join forces to take them down, leaving clear room for a fourth film that could even explore the larger Wick Cinematic Universe.
But will any of this matter? It will all depend on how well the film performs at the box office. Fortunately, John Wick: Chapter 3 seems primed to be a hit both with fans and critics, as the movie is receiving extremely positive reviews – it currently has a 94 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes – and looks to be heading to a nice score at the box office – most analysts are guessing an opening weekend at around $35 million. So unless the movie unexpectedly takes, it looks like John Wick will have a pretty easy path to getting another adventure. So don't be surprised if we see John Wick sooner rather than later.
Holy Bat Dad! New Batman Movie Reboot Will Feature Robin As Bruce's Son
New 2025 Superman Reboot Movie Sounds Like A Dream Come True


We are pleased to present our Manufacturing Champion for October - EDM Zone Ltd - a precision engineering company based in Newcastle upon Tyne. In this feature we look at their apprenticeship scheme.
Their apprenticeship scheme is a blended modern Apprenticeship with an additional 2 year learning plan.
As an SME they believe that it is important their employees understand the business infrastructure and how employees contribute to it; which is vital to the overall success of EDM Zone.
At EDM Zone 50% of the manpower is made up of apprentices; however the percentage is higher when examining the workforce based by job function. Their apprentices are hourly staff who are direct working on the product which equates to 78% of the operation staff. Whilst this creates a more challenging environment to manage production requirements, customer demands and 'On Time Delivery', It is greatly beneficial to the apprentices. This environment stretches and enhances their learning capacity in real time production.
The purpose for investing in apprenticeships is to give young people the opportunity to gain work experience whilst earning a salary. At EDM Zone their main aim is to educate and give them the competencies as a skilled employee, with the plan to retain the apprentice on completion of the scheme.
They believe that their apprenticeship scheme gives them greater scope of learning on how a business operates; the challenges a small business can have; and the discipline required to help them develop a strong work ethic.
Having a high proportion of apprentices, equally has significant benefits to their business, it means they develop their skills for the future, create the culture that fits within the working environment and helps them to shape the vision of our business strategy.
The apprentices have a clear vision of their learning and their expected learning outcomes. EDM Zone have their own competency framework which contains all the processes and the machinery within the business. This is a detailed framework and is a fully comprehensive training package that can be used as a framework to measure the competency of skilled workers, as well as a learning programme for apprentices.
Each apprentice has a training 'buddy' and also a 'mentor'. The 'buddy' is a skilled worker; however, they also use the apprentices to support this as a tier buddy. For example, Year 4 apprentice, will support the training of year 3, year 3 apprentice will support the year 2 etc.
This structured approach allows for the apprentices' to feel comfortable in their learning that their 'buddy' is someone who has recently become competent in those skills gained and they can connect more on the same level of communication.
All apprentices are supervised by competent people until they are equipped with the skills to operate independently. This is a critical quality process for the company to maintain as all their apprentices work on live production.
The contribution the apprenticeship scheme has made to their business is significant. The percentage of the apprentice workforce is of higher proportion to their skilled operational workforce and that is indicative of how Paul Wilson believes they are a significant contribution.
The apprentices feel that they are part of the team and the business from the offset. It gives them the opportunity to learn more in-depth skills than that which other apprenticeship schemes have to offer. The apprentices work on live production and they recognise their contribution is critical to the business; this in turn drives good working ethics.
As part of the business strategy for 2018 – 2019, they will look to continue with the apprenticeship scheme, utilising opportunities such as work experiences/placements to identify potential young talent.
They also believe that they have the capability to help assist training providers by delivering bespoke training programmes at their premises. This is something they will look to explore in the future.
As a small business EDM Zone always find ways to contribute to the community. This can be from environmental improvements to STEM related activities.
They have provided several hundreds of hours' worth of STEM activity to local schools over 2017-2018, running an Industrial Cadets programme where they give local school children the company's "Week In Industry" programme; where they do 30 hours hands on in the factory and office – receiving a certificate and medal at the end of a successful week.
They also put on a stand at "Bring It On" a STEM activity showing school children aspects of engineering.
The apprenticeship scheme they deliver at EDM Zone is not only an enhanced development opportunity, but the number of apprentices they have in their organisation is helping to inspire the young talent in the community.
As a member of manufacturing and engineering forums, as is the case for many companies in the area, they struggle to attract the talent pools needed. Paul Wilson firmly believes that within their community they have the young people that have the ability to learn and want to learn. These are the employees of the future and people the company want to retain in the region.
EDM Zone were a winner at the Apprenticeship regional awards 2014, identified as one of the City & Guilds top 100 Apprenticeship Employers 2014; Highly commended in 2016 for "Made In The North East" and winners in 2017; Going on to win the National Award.

"Like Beckett rewritten by Burroughs with imagery courtesy Magritte and jokes by the Marxes – Groucho and Karl. It's infuriatingly brilliant. Or vice versa."
David Rose, Vault (Salt Publishing, 2011)
"You will need to read this book more than once. You will want to read this book more than once. Because The Killing of a Bank Manager includes within the text an extensive reading syllabus, which, when placed end-to-end, will repeatedly spell out a different opinion of what is going on. Sure, Mr. T. S. Eliot (contrary to popular opinion the T. S. is NOT short for Tough Shit) did this in his magnificent ramble through the St. James Park of Human Syphilization THE WASTELAND. But with footnotes. Mr. Kavanagh (NOT the television show of the same name) achieves a similar self-expansion through the mind of Henry, who is at once Mr. K. and all the many books he has read, paintings he has adored, music he has felt, and our narrator Henry the butcher boy, who collages and puppets quotes and snippets from 4,000 years of literature, philosophy and science into a Rorshach of his own inexplicably demented mission: kill this other character who really doesn't exist any more than does Henry, or Mr. K., or (mon semblable, mon frere) the reader itself. Mr. Kavanagh's prose reads like a collage of stick-up notes from a long career of knocking over tony financial institutions. His success at this endeavor can largely be attributed to the invisibility of the stick-up man. You never see Kavanagh. All you see is ballsy demand after demand shoved with exquisite vocabulary and baldfaced syntax directly under your nose. From prologue to denouement, The Killing of a Bank Manager will keep you on the edge of your tongue. This is a how-to for those who aspire to murder those who steal. The book doesn't necessarily prove that two wrongs make a right, but rather that two wrongs can be infinitely more interesting. Put the money in the bag. Push the alarm, and you will die laughing."
Willie Smith, Oedipus Cadet (Black Heron Press, 1990)
"Bawdy and high-spirited, Kavanagh's rococo prose never ceases to delight."
"It's rough, it's funny, it's tragic, it's exuberant, it's smart, it's dirty: it's quite a promise for the Kavanagh to come."
Lucas Hüsgen
"It's a rare writer that can create an entire world in a single sentence. Rarer still is the writer who can combine these sentences to tell a compelling story. Paul Kavanagh has both skills in abundance. His work is beautiful, moving, funny, tragic, and achingly human."
Jeffrey Dinsmore, Awkward Press
"Paul Kavanagh can write. He writes without a program and for me this is writing."
James O Jenkins
"Kavanagh's versatile. He can speak as a representative of both the trailer park and the university. His voice can be British, it can be American. He seems to be afraid of the things the body does to itself as it ages. It's quite possible he has engaged in public acts of copulation. He's probably slept with his head in a puddle. Maybe he's had some teeth knocked out in a bar fight. Maybe he played soccer for university. Hell if I know."
Matt DiGangi, Thieves Jargon

Published: 1/17/2011
From the back seat of a porn theatre, from the word lovers' asylum, Honest Publishing's second release is the controversial, earth-shattering, mind-smacking The Killing of a Bank Manager. Inspired by John Cassavetes giving away the ending and James Joyce selling his soul to The Benny Hill Show, Kavanagh has deconstructed and reconstruced wordage to blow the contemporary reader's iMind. The Killing of a Bank Manager revolves around Henry, a man on the edge, head over heels in love with beauty, literature and drinking. The moments before, the days that lead up to, the years that have built up to, the green doors and Richard Dadd. The story bubbles with greed, desire and the dangers associated with groups, the journey into and out of consciousness. It's the daily grind meets the daily muse. And Henry loves Laura, the honey in Winnie the Pooh, as well as razors and flights of fancy, quotes and stealing the words of others for his own battered ego. The perfect antidote to beach reading, The Killing of a Bank Manager will tease the hell out of heaven and knock Mr Mainstream's spotless teeth out onto the bathroom floor. You know how it ends. Now find out everything else.

The commodious apartment was above a beauty salon that contained no beauty. No, there was one beauty. A real beauty. Laura Applebright. Upon that face there was no index to point out, the vagaries of time had left no mark, dent, blemish. The face could have been sculptured by the deft hands of a plastic surgeon or the paintbrush of Renaissance Artist, Antonio del Pollaiuolo, no, Filippo Lippi, no, Piero di Cosimo. The lipstick was applied by the hands of a child just before puberty hovering just over the lips. The skin was smooth, the nose perfect, the chin rounded like an apple. The face had jumped through the loop of adolescence, no crushes, no teenage fondling, no scanning magazines searching for fashion, no rushing to the store for the latest hit song, no dreams, no desires. Each musculature twitch, tremble, tick of Laura was catalogued. Alphabetically catalogued and placed in his filing cabinet, a wunderkammer, a cabinet of curiosities.
Henry knew every piece of clothing that Laura possessed. Laura possessed five pairs of shoes. One shoe was broken. The heel had come away. She had tried superglue.
Laura possessed three rings. Henry was positive one was a fake. The skin around the ring was stained green.
Laura possessed seven shirts. Her favourite was a floral shirt. She wore this shirt the most. Sometimes three times in a week.
Laura liked skirts that went down to her knees. Maybe she had funny knees. Henry had never seen her knees.
Laura was the kite in Mary Poppins.
Laura was the honey in Winnie the Pooh.
Laura was everlasting youth in Peter Pan.
Laura was Pure Imagination in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.
Henry reads Barbara Cartland out loud and Laura listens.
Henry and Laura listen to The Marriage of Figaro and watch the rain fall.
Henry and Laura watch: Ese oscuro objeto del deseo or That Obcure Object of Desire and are very happy.
Henry and Laura run through the local library and art gallery. It takes them 2 minutes and 45 seconds. While running they laugh wildly. Henry holds Laura's hand tightly. It would have taken them 45 seconds but they stopped to look at a sketch by Beatrix Potter.
The morning light illuminates your morning beauty boundless. Do you know that you are my star? Tonight I bring you wine and bread. You are my Leander. I am your Hero. Just hold out the light and I shall return my love. I shall swim from Sestus to Abydus and I shall return to you, said Henry.
No, he never said it.
Please forgive me for my superfluities but I need to write to you. I find that you have invaded my life. You are now everything … The moon the stars and the foundation that holds them in the night sky.
No, he never sent the letter.
You naughty boy. Don't be coy now.
A flash of thigh.
A placed kiss upon an exposed …
An assignation between young couples.
A stormy sea to cross, a light in the window to guide the swimmer, huge waves, a waiting damsel, and instead of the swimmer drowning in the rough waters, let him enter the room …
Days/nights in the commodious apartment Henry smoked, bit his nails, combed his hair, blew his nose, removed sleep from his eyes, rubbed indentations off his face, slept, farted, coughed, sneezed, hiccupped, puked, played with his anus and pretended he was dead. He talked to himself, whispered, joked, sang, preached, old habits die hard, dined with himself, became the babbler, the chatterbox, the malicious gossip, the sycophant, the boor, the shameless cad, the supercilious snob. The commodious apartment was a carnival of the bizarre, and he played top billing. His mind was an aquarium and his thoughts were little fish that went round and round. His memories were the elephant nose fish, his happiness the fancy guppies, the African butterfly fish seemed to be always sad and the goldfish were lust. Laura was the Black Knife Fish. This fish devoured all other fish in the aquarium.
Henry and Laura visited a zoo.
Henry and Laura watched television.
Henry and Laura went to the movies. They had popcorn. Laura said, popcorn looks like molars.
Laura liked skimmed-milk.
Laura liked ham sandwiches.
Laura liked working at the beauty salon.
A woman by the name of Martha owned the beauty salon. She was an extremely ugly woman. Her ugliness was only matched by the wallpaper.
No matter. No concern. No worry. La folle giornata. I want to define beauty, find the right words, the right metaphors, relate a paradox, elucidate the right paradigm, I want to scream from rooftops, I want to shout down your ear, I want I want, the boy wanted the girl.

Dear Honest, Dear Paul,
I was in Langton's Bookshop on Saturday, and Chris pointed out his display of Honest Publishing's titles. As by then I'd spent my weekly book allowance, I only allowed myself one title: The Killing of a Bank Manager. Loved it; finished it last night. Like Beckett rewritten by Burroughs with imagery courtesy Magritte and jokes by the Marxes – Groucho and Karl.
But you forgot the plot, man. Couldn't get a handle. Nonetheless, a great ride, I just relaxed and enjoyed it sentence by hilariously deranged sentence.
So Paul – what's up next?
And Honest – ditto?
Very best,
Thanks for your positive comment. We're glad you enjoyed reading The Killing of a Bank Manager. Our next book is going to be Homegirl! by Ryder Collins, a fast-paced punky novel full of love, sex and desire. We're looking to have it out by the beginning of September. Nice of Chris to point you to our books as well. He's a lovely chap.
The Honest Team

Bill Gates, the US billionaire businessman and co-founder of Microsoft, has reportedly found love again — after staying divorced for more than a year.
According to Daily Mail, the businessman, 67, is now in a romantic relationship with Paula Hurd, the widow of Mark Hurd, the former Oracle co-CEO, who died in 2019.
Gates and Paula are said to be longtime tennis fans. They are also said to have been seen attending the same tournaments over the years.
The pair were said to have been seen last month at the Australian Open in Melbourne and in Sydney.
"They're inseparable," a friend of the couple was quoted to have said.
"They've been together over a year and she's always described as a "mystery woman," but it's no mystery to their inner circle that they're in a romantic relationship."
Paula, 60, and her late husband, who died of cancer, share two daughters together.
The widow, who was a former tech executive, is now an event planner and organizer, and philanthropist.
Gates and Melinda announced their divorce in May 2021 — after 34 years together, and 27 years of marriage.
They tied the knot in 1994 after dating for 7 years and share three children together — Jennifer and Phoebe, their two daughters, and a son Rory.
The billionaire also said he is still on good terms with his ex-wife while admitting his "grieve" over their divorce.
"We have a super important, complex, close relationship where we've chosen to work together. And I'm very happy that we get to work together. I'm also grieving the same way she is," he had said.

In November, there were reports that Melinda is dating Jon Du Pre, the former Fox News reporter.
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, a.k.a Portable, has warned popular music director and cinematographer ThankGod Omori Smith, better known as TG Omori or Boy Director, not to visit the Lekki area of Lagos State or Sango for his own safety.
This is coming after Omori, on Tuesday, gave in to the Portable demands to shoot his video after constant attacks on social media.
TG Omori told Portable to send a song so that he would do the video, but he's yet to disclose whether it would be free of charge or he will discount the $50k fee.
Following the proposal, the duo launched an Instagram live session. Portable, who expressed dissatisfaction at TG Omori's expensive charges, queried the director for not loving him again as he begged for his assistance.
He then jokingly threatened the music director not to visit Lekki or Sango for his own safety because there would be a fight if they met.
The Zazuu star wondered why the director was giving him attitude and stated that he should have continued with his offensive behaviour and seen what would have happened.
In response, TG Omori said it wasn't personal, that he was only chasing after money before any other thing.
Recall that Omori had demanded $50k (over N22 million) for a video shoot from Portable earlier last month, which infuriated the "Zazu Zeh" crooner, who enquired whether the director produced videos for ghosts.

Unknown Insights: PM Says Tough Decisions Would be Taken: Really?
PM Says Tough Decisions Would be Taken: Really?
But these statements have to be taken with a pinch of salt.
Tough decision have been overdue for more than a year now and could not be taken due to political compulsion. What has changed now? In fact, with the Samajwadi party winning in UP and TMC in Bengal, the political compulsion has gotten worse.
And as for Pranab Mukherjee's austerity measures, they relate to cost cutting in ministries—cutting back on air travel, foreign travel and the like. This might be worth a couple of hundred crores, while the fuel subsidy bill is supposed to have gone up by more than Rs 40,000 cr due to Rupee depreciation.
With this background, it's a bit difficult to imagine what kind of measures the government is thinking about and how it's planning to get them through.
