Call for Submissions | 2018 Caine Prize for African Writing
The Caine Prize for African Writing is an annual literature prize awarded to an African writer of a short story published in English. The prize was launched since 2000 to motivate as well as highlighting the richness and multiplicity of African writing by bringing it to a larger international audience.
The focus on the short story reflects the contemporary development of the African story-telling tradition.
By definition, "an African writer" is expected to be someone who was born in Africa, or who is a national of an African country, or who has a parent who is African by birth or nationality.
Therefore, the Prize is awarded to a short story written by an African writer published in English, whether living in Africa or elsewhere.
Understanding the Caine the Prize:
The Caine Prize for African Writing as a registered charity, aims is to bring African writing to a larger international audience through their annual literary award. In addition to administering the Prize, they work to connect readers with African writers through a series of public events, as well as helping emerging writers in Africa to enter the world of mainstream publishing through the annual Caine Prize writers' workshop which takes place in a different African country each year.
The stories written at Caine Prize workshops are published annually alongside the Prize's shortlisted stories in the annual Caine Prize Anthology by New Internationalist in the UK and publishers in eight African countries including, Jacana Media (South Africa), Cassava Republic (Nigeria), Kwani (Kenya), Sub-Saharan Publishers (Ghana), FEMRITE (Uganda), Gadsen Publishers (Zambia), 'amaBooks (Zimbabwe) and Langaa (Cameroon).
Benefits from the Prize:
Winning and short-listed authors will be invited to participate in writers' workshops in Africa, London or somewhere else as resources permit. The winner is also invited to go to three literature festivals in Kenya, South Africa and Nigeria.
Categories of the Prize:
There is a cash prize of £10,000 for the winning author and a travel award for each of the short-listed candidates (up to five in all).
The shortlisted candidates will also receive a Prize of £500 each

Climatologist Dr. Pat Michaels: 'It's obvious that Biden is just wrong. Extreme tornadoes are in decline as the world has warmed'
Michaels: "Biden's appears to be thriving in a fact-free world. ... The number of tornadoes is increasing, but that's because of improved detection technology."
https://cei.org/blog/president-biden-sows-the-whirlwind/
By Patrick J. Michaels
It's the president's job to console the nation when natural disasters strike, like the horrendous tornado outbreak last Friday night. Much of Mayfield, Kentucky, was flattened, and the current death toll in Kentucky alone is 64, with many still unaccounted for. But President Biden couldn't resist conflating the whirlwind with climate change, and so he said: "The fact is that we all know everything is more intense when the climate is warming. Everything. And obviously it has some impact here."
Tragic. But with regard to tornadoes, Biden's appears to be thriving in a fact-free world. Sure, the number of tornadoes is increasing, but that's because of improved detection technology. What about the ones that you don't need radar to see, because they are monsters like Friday's twisters? These would be the EF-4 and EF-5 storms. Friday's storm in Mayfield hasn't been classified yet, but surely is one of these.
If Biden is right, the number of extreme storms ("everything is more intense … And it obviously has some impact here") should be going up.
Here's the data since very sensitive WSD-88 ("Doppler") radar coverage became complete, thanks to the site ustornadoes.com.
Figure 1. EF4 and EF5 tornado counts in the Doppler Radar (post 1994) era. There is a slight decline in frequency even as surface temperatures warmed a bit.
There's actually a slight decline. Given that these big monsters don't need radar to be noticed, let's look at numbers of big ones all the way back to 1950, and ending when the doppler era begins:
Figure 2. EF4 and EF5 tornadoes in the pre-doppler era. There is a statistically significant decline in frequency accompanying a period of slight global warming.
It's obvious that Biden is just wrong. Extreme tornadoes are in decline as the world has warmed. And it seems a bit insensitive to piggyback on people's misfortune in order to push climate policies that recent polls indicate no one wants.

Curator's Statement
As a kid growing up in the 1960's, I saw images of Blacks being beaten and tortured. I saw the aftermath of the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and I couldn't understand why people who looked like me had been treated in this manner.
Then the 1970's arrived and brought an explosion of color to Saturday Morning cartoons. As a pre-teen, I could see positive Black characters that looked like me and real people that I admired, like the Jackson Five and The Harlem Globetrotters. I was glued to the television.
I couldn't wait to see these animated characters fill the small screen. These cartoons changed my life…filling me with pride and self esteem. They brought adventure, mayhem and fun to a generation of Black children.
Fifty years later, my perspective on these cartoons is a little different. Besides being an integral part of Black children's lives, these cartoons also benefited white children and the broader society as a whole. A number of these cartoons addressed issues like cultural differences, racism and multiculturalism. It is my belief that these cartoons are national treasures. They are an important part of American culture, and in particular the Black experience. I fondly remember the decade when these revolutionary Black cartoon characters made their mark on animation history.
"These cartoons are National Treasures. They were seen by a generation of children and not only changed the way that Black kids saw themselves but the way White kids saw them as well."
Picking up where comic strips left off in the early 20th century, theatrical cartoon film shorts portrayed Blacks in a racially derogatory and stereotypical manner as cannibals, coons, mammies and Stepin Fetchit characters with exaggerated features and ignorant dialect.
From 1900 to 1960, over 600 cartoon shorts featuring Black characters were produced by some of Hollywood's greatest White animators and biggest film studios. Several famous Black jazz musicians such as Cab Calloway, Fats Waller and Louis Armstrong were also portrayed as stereotypical caricatures. In the 1950's, several of these racist cartoons were shown on television. As a result of the civil rights movement, in the 1960's the racial content of many of these cartoons was edited out or the cartoons were pulled from television altogether.
Notably, The Censored Eleven, a group of Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons were banned from broadcast because they were deemed to be too offensive for contemporary audiences. In the case of The Censored Eleven, racist themes were so essential and so completely pervasive in the cartoons that no amount of selective editing could ever make them acceptable for distribution.
After sixty years of negative cartoon images, it wasn't until the late 1960's / early 1970's that Saturday Morning television cartoons started to feature image affirming Black characters with a modern look and positive story lines that delivered culturally relevant messages.
This 1970's revolution in how Black animation characters were developed and portrayed in Hollywood represents historic change and the ultimate manifestation of Dr. Martin Luther King's dream.
For the first time characters of all races lived, played and worked together as equals. For the first time Black children could see cartoon characters that looked, talked and acted more realistically like them, such as Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, as well as more positive depictions of their favorite Black music icons and sports heroes like The Jackson 5ive featuring Michael Jackson and his brothers, The Harlem Globetrotters and I Am The Greatest featuring Muhammad Ali.
For the first time, Black children had cartoon role models who taught positive messages like family values, the importance of education, friendship, civic duty, personal responsibility and sportsmanship. For the first time cartoons like Josie and The Pussy Cats, Star Trek and Kid Power featured strong Black female characters and multicultural casts. These cartoons not only changed the way that Black kids saw themselves but the way that white kids saw them as well.
Also, for the first time, Black people like Berry Gordy led development of animated television programming featuring Black characters, from concept through to art creation and production.
Back in the 1970's everybody watched the same cartoons. Since then, many of these cartoons have re-aired on cable networks reaching new generations of children. Forty years later, the legacy of these revolutionary cartoons has eclipsed the stereotypical images that came before and have paved the way for a new generation of Black animation like The Proud Family, Static Shock, Fillmore and Doc McStuffins!
Not surprisingly, fifty years later, the Black Character Revolution generation is the first to produce and elect the first Black President of the United States. The Funky Turns 50: Black Character Revolution exhibition features original production cels and drawings and limited edition cels from this turning point in cartoon history where Black and White animators created positive Black characters and Black stories for all to enjoy, including: Fat Albert And The Cosby Kids, The Jackson 5ive, The Harlem Globetrotters, Valerie – Josie and The Pussy Cats; Lt. Uhura – Star Trek Animated Series, Muhammad Ali – I Am The Greatest, Billy Jo Jive – Sesame Street, Verb: That's What's Happening – School House Rock and Franklin – Peanuts.
At one time, thousands of hand-painted cels were created and used under the camera to animate every TV and theatrical cartoon. Today's animation is all computer generated, so hand painted cels represent a lost art form. As relatively little Black animation was produced in the 1970's and beyond, original production artwork is scarce and rare. Although limited edition reprints of selected scenes from many cartoons and films have been produced, there are very few that have been created from Black animation.

SoHo Creative Studio at Home in Portsmouth
Published Thursday Jan 6, 2022
Author Judi Currie
SoHo Creative Studio owners Michael Cinquino and Rebecca Lee cut the ribbon on their new Portsmouth office. Courtesy photo.
During the pandemic, many professionals left crowded cities for safer rural areas, with NH being among the prime destinations. There was also a rise in entrepreneurs as people lost jobs and sought to gain control over their destiny. SoHo Creative Studio personifies both trends as the founders decided to start a new business and move in 2020.
It all started with Michael Cinquino and Rebecca Lee taking a trip from their home in New York City to Portsmouth and deciding to stay.
Cinquino has been a professional photographer in New York for 12 years, while Lee spent 20 years in textile design. "We went into our apartment in Brooklyn on March 15 [2020] and didn't leave our front door for 45 days," says Cinquino. "I had a photography business and studio rental business in SoHo and, unfortunately, I lost both of those businesses pretty much instantly. Rebecca was let go from her 20-year career as a textile designer."
The couple says they had a backup plan should one become unemployed but not for everything to go away at once. Cinquino says they had time to contemplate what the future would look like.
"There are many things we love about New York, but it is so chaotic, and it feels difficult to make an impact," he says.
The couple decided to combine their skill sets to offer photography, videography and web design, with Lee transitioning from textile design to user interface design.
"We realized what was most soulful for us was helping small businesses," says Lee. "We started to look at areas outside the city for a place with community-minded people and support for small businesses and Portsmouth came up in our search. We came up for a week and fell in love with the area."
They have a variety of clients, including a software developer, a producer of children books about Corgis, and a startup in Dubai. Cinquino says they mainly work with small- to mid-sized business focused on growing by using photography, video and digital design.
"People are not getting in front of the camera and telling an honest story," Cinquino says. "We truly believe that which is most personal is most universal. But it can be scary to get in front of the camera and talk about what you value," he says. "It is not something a lot are able and want to do. But it is what we push most clients to do; it is a differentiator."
For Lee, moving from her textile design background in the physical world to creating experiences in the digital world has not been that big of a change. "I'm a huge advocate of the design thinking process, boiling down a problem and solving it using creativity in a very methodical way. It's a data driven approach," says Lee. "While the way I solve it is different, the issues are always the same: how can I make a product or process seamless for the user, so it is pleasing and productive? You only notice design when it is not working."

« As Lions reveal details about their new album
Klaus Schulze – Another Green Mile »
Metallica – Hardwired… to Self-Destruct
Hardwired… To Self-Destruct
Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal
Released: 18 November 2016
via Blackened Records
So, it's been 8 long years of buildup and hype. For many metal fans though, some trepidation. As Metallica don't have a sparkling reputation for album releases. In my opinion, they haven't made a solid album since "The Black Album". I mean they've had the odd decent tune here and there. They just haven't made a solid full album. So this album, Hardwired… To Self-Destruct was met with a lot of ears. How is it?…. It's good. I'm not going to say great but it's good. I think the whole thing is really damn good and definitely their best work in a long time. I guess it was too much to expect them to release a full on thrash album. Then again I don't think they needed to.
The album sounds great. The production is sharp and they sound tight. Particularly on the title track 'Hardwired… To Self-Destruct' and on 'Atlas, Rise'. The riffs are nice and they actually sound somewhat like Metallica. Weird, I know. Through both discs they're pretty damn consistent. With a well composed and well arranged sound. It feels like someone took the time to put it together. I like the experimentation with other types of metal too. Ok, they're not going crazy with this album, they're playing it pretty safe, still it's nice to hear.
Saying that though. I do feel that this album plods along at points. Never enough to get boring but it does feel a little long winded. This is way more apparent on disc two. Which feels like Metallica are overstaying their welcome. There are some nice riffs though, like the opening to 'Confusion' and I quite like the last song 'Spit Out The Bone' it was a good way to cap off the album. So hey not all bad there.
So, yeah Metallica are back. I'm not going to say this is a return to form. However, it is a solid album, and that's all I really wanted from them. Just something that I can play and have a little fun with. Hardwired… works quite nicely. It's got some brilliant songs, excellent guitar solos and it sounds like Metallica actually wanted to make this album. Which makes this a good album in my books.

TAKING FIRE is a 5-part docu-series for The Discover Network that follows a handful of rookies with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division who packed helmet cameras to film their one year deployment to the farthest flung region of the Taliban-held Korangal Valley in Afghanistan in 2010.
Today I talk with Kyle Boucher and J.J. McCool who did triple duty as soldiers, cameramen and stars of this unconventional series. They reveal how they were able to film this remarkable footage without interference from the Pentagon, they talk about some of the risks they took to get the perfect shot, and discuss the creepy feeling of fighting an enemy they couldn't see but who was constantly watching them. They speak frankly about their working relationship with the Afghan National Army and the local Police forces, and what it's like getting shot at in the shower, at dinner, and while working out at "the world's deadliest gym."
The first episode of TAKING FIRE premieres tonight, Tuesday, September 13, at 10PM ET/9PM CT on The Discovery Network. Check your local listings or visit www.discovery.com to learn more.

Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers are the creators, show-runners, and executive producers of AMC's Halt and Catch Fire, and today they talk about the real stories and personalities that inspired them to create the fictional series about the personal computer revolution that came out of the Texas "Silicon Prairie" in the 1980's.
We discuss the constant tug of war between the programmers and the visionaries in the tech industry and which Steve they'd rather be (Wozniak or Jobs). They hint at what we can expect in season 3 including moving the show's setting to Silicon Valley and a shift in focus from the PC boom to the birth of the internet. Plus, our collective love of dysfunctional 80's robots.
Be sure to watch the 2-hour season premiere of Halt and Catch Fire at 9PM Eastern on Tuesday (8/23) on AMC. For more information, visit www.AMC.com. You can follow Chris Cantwell on Twitter at @ifyoucantwell and Chris Rogers at @CCR.

Anghelești


In my opinion, there are few experiences harder for the mother of young children than when her husband leaves town.
I start dreading my husband's impending business trips as soon he [reluctantly] announces them. I calmly pencil in the dates on my calendar and try to be very matter-of-fact about all of it. After all, it's usually just a few of days. In the big scheme of life, that's a mere blip. And yet those couple of days seem to stretch out endlessly. They last much longer than the typical workweek (don't even get me started on weekend trips).
Maybe it's because when your partner is absent, your "workday" goes from a typical (often grueling) 12 hour day-- 6 a.m. (when babies wake up) - 6 p.m. (when spouse gets home), to a non-stop 24 hour day. You no longer get that comforting sense of relief at 6 p.m., the feeling of sharing the responsibilities (yes, yes, and the joys), when Daddy comes home from work. Dinner, bathtime, bedtime, overnight duty, breakfast, etc: It all falls on you.
Does anyone else barely sleep when their spouse is out of town? I check the baby monitors way too often throughout the night, and whether it's my imagination or not, my children always seem to sleep horribly when he is gone.
Perhaps going it solo isn't as hard for parents who are lucky enough to live near their own family. Then you should at least be able to count on your sister to bring over a pizza and keep you company for the insanity that is trying to get a toddler and a baby down to bed at a decent hour. Or for your mom to come over for an hour so you can run to Target without strapping two children in a germ-covered shopping cart. But alas, like many of you, this Frantic Mama lives far from her family. So getting a sitter for a couple of hours helps. A visit from a friend is also much appreciated. So is coffee.
Hats off to the single parents of the world. Clearly, their everyday jobs are far more challenging than mine. And I am sure there are fathers out there whose wives travel while they stay at home. I'm sure that's tough too. I can only speak for my experience, and I've gotta say, "going it solo" is one of the more trying aspects of my life.
So, I'm off for now-- frantic-er (and tired-er) than usual.

Imagine the Borrowers living a life of miniature luxury and you won't be too far off the recent collaboration between quirky French photographer Vincent Bousserez and French fashion house, Louis Vuitton.
Bousserez who is renowned for creating exquisite images of an extraordinary miniature world where teensy plastic people live amongst our, at times seemingly mundane, everyday objects, has been commissioned to captured a troop of tiny characters living, playing and working amongst the Louis Vuitton accessories line in a series entitled Larger Than Life.
A team of tiny workmen are seen etching out the signature LV initials with mini diggers whilst miniature window cleaners polish the frames of a pair of sunglasses. A couple stand, preening, in front of a LV hard-wear mirror whilst diminutive couples play golf over a handbag.
Cheeky, charming and utterly adorable, his most recent exhibition, Plastic Life, sees Vincent's 'little people' sledging down a snowy, toilet-roll slope, hiking through the hills and valleys of a bottom and figure skating around a vinyl LP. Vincent's work can be viewed at www.vincentbousserez.com.

Bradley Cooper Has Stepped Into The Ongoing Hollywood Debate Over Equal Wages By Saluting His American Sniper Co-star Sienna Miller For Standing Firm And Pulling Out Of A Play Over Poor Pay.

The Brit was promoting the pair's new movie Burnt when she revealed she quit a theatrical venture after discovering her male co-star was earning more than she was.
She explained, "I walked away from a play that I wanted to do because I was offered less than half of what the other man was offered and it was just the two of us. I did what we (women) have to start doing, unfortunately, at the expense of our creative dreams."
Her comment came just hours after another Cooper leading lady, Jennifer Lawrence, published an article on gender inequality in Lena Dunham's feminist publication, Lenny Letter.
Asked for his thoughts on The Hunger Games star's feminist piece, in which she admonished herself for not fighting for a salary equal to that of her male castmates, including Cooper, before shooting American Hustle, the actor admitted he hadn't read it yet, but added, "One thing I could say is that's interesting because if you think that you only deserve a certain amount and that's not correct, it's about changing that mindset and sticking up for yourself the way that Sienna did. So that's a great thing."

World Asthma Day is an annual event organised by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) to improve asthma awareness and care around the world. This years theme is "You can control your Asthma".
I'll be tweeting news on twitter @belloalito and sharing positive, helpful information for parents and carers on Facebook. Hope to see #WorldAsthmaDay trend in 2012!


Steve Johnson has become the King of reinvention - from misbehaving larrikin to premiership star; from Cat to Giant - and he's been at the heart of two of the most remarkable AFL teams of modern times: the great Geelong triple-premiership side, and the coming juggernaut of .
This is the highly anticipated autobiography of one of the AFL's greatest players of the modern era. Stevie J is one of those players whose appeal crosses teams - it's impossible not to admire the potency of this mercurial game-changer. He's a living legend in AFL circles.
The Geelong people in the know (Tom Harley, Bomber Thompson, Billy Brownless) all say that Stevie's story of those premiership years is the one you want to hear: the players' point of view from the man with one of the best footy brains going around. He'll tell us what it was really like to be part of that incredible Geelong era.
Steve's story is perfect for media. While the story of him turning his 2017 season around (from being drunk and disorderly in Wangaratta and being suspended by his teammates to winning the Norm Smith medal in a premiership team) has been told before, he hasn't done the telling. And there's much more to it than we know.
His time at has really added to the story. As well as the first inside look into , his impact on their 2016 finals is a story in itself. After playing a key role for them all season, kicking 43 goals, he was suspended just before the preliminary final - which they lost by six points, costing them a spot in the grand final. There's no doubt that his decision to play on in 2017 was partly driven by a desire to make up for this - can he take all the way in 2017?
A brilliant gift and an essential addition to any AFL fan's library. This will sit along bios like those of Brendan Fevola (20k) and Dane Swan (30k).


Edit: I also cannot find thief folder in steamapps. I checked it out because someone on steam offered a solution through there, but it's not there.
Edit 2: On Local files tab in settings, it says Disk usage: 24702 MB, Current content BuildID: 0 and nothing happens when I click "browse local files."
I think that preloaded game is hidden somewhere in some encrypted form and compressed files in a cache or something and is extracted/decrypted on release then.
Preloaded files are stored in Steam\depotcache folder in an encrypted form. I don't know if the encryption key is account-based or computer-based and if you can copy the depotcache contents between computers to save time and bandwidth.

I accidentally ordered the cable for the 6S plus. Would it still function or are they pinned differently?
It looks better than before!!
We popped a 6s cable into an iPhone 6 to test. Everything fits and the camera does indeed work, although there is no improvement in resolution—the iPhone 6 doesn't seem able to use the extra pixels. We had mixed results with the other components on the cable assembly—the proximity sensor worked, but the ambient light sensor did not. We didn't test the microphone. Your mileage may vary, but I would recommend getting the correct part to avoid any unnecessary headaches. Cheers!

Nice example of Coronelli's 2-sheet map of Europe.
The map extends from Iceland (Volcanoes shown) and the coast of North America to is embellished Russia, Ukraine and the Caspian Sea, and includes 2 decorative cartouches, a sea monster being attacked by two native rown boats and a scale of miles.
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli was among the most important and influential map makers of the late 17th Century. After starting his career in Venice, he was invited by Louis XIV to Paris to construct a monumental set of globes, which are among the most famous cartogrpaphic works of the 17th Century. During his time in Paris, he collaborated extensively with JB Nolin, which provided him with access to the best available French maps, at a time when France was asserting its pre-eminence in the field of map making. As a result of this access, Coronelli's maps are among the most accurate of their time, combining the best available geogrpaphical information with Coronelli's remarkable engraving style.
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli Biography
Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650-1718) is one of the most influential Italian mapmakers and is known especially for his globes and atlases. The son of a tailor, Vincenzo was apprenticed to a xylographer (a wood block engraver) at a young age. At fifteen he became a novice in a Franciscan monastery. At sixteen he published his first book, the first of 140 publications he would write in his lifetime. The order recognized his intellectual ability and saw him educated in Venice and Rome. He earned a doctorate in theology, but also studied astronomy. By the late 1670s, he was working on geography and was commissioned to create a set of globes for the Duke of Parma. These globes were five feet in diameter. The Parma globes led to Coronelli being named theologian to the Duke and receiving a bigger commission, this one from Louis XIV of France. Coronelli moved to Paris for two years to construct the King's huge globes, which are 12.5 feet in diameter and weigh 2 tons.
The globes for the French King led to a craze for Coronelli's work and he traveled Europe making globes for the ultra-elite. By 1705, he had returned to Venice. There, he founded the first geographical society, the Accademia Cosmografica degli Argonauti and was named Cosmographer of the Republic of Venice. He died in 1718.
