Three house building site managers were crowned winners in the Northern Ireland finals of the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards 2018 at a ceremony held at The Culloden Estate and Spa, Belfast.
Now in their 38th year, the awards organised by NHBC, the UK's leading warranty and insurance provider for new homes, are the most highly regarded in the house building industry. They recognise and reward a site manager's dedication to achieving the highest standards in house building, and their commitment to building homes of outstanding quality.
Richard Morrow from Vaughan Developments Ltd was named Small Builder category winner for the Hilltops development in Lisburn. Richard is no stranger to winning NHBC Pride in the Job awards, having previously claimed the Regional Winner title twice before. Jim Porter from Porter & Co won the Medium Builder category for Portmore Hall in Crumlin.
Wayne Bennett from M M M Design & Build Ltd was crowned the Multi- storey category winner for the 'Thalassa' coastal apartments in Bangor. This is Wayne's first-ever year of winning a Pride in the Job award, and to reach the Regional Award level as a first-time winner is an excellent achievement.
A further five site managers across Northern Ireland were awarded a Seal of Excellence at the ceremony, having gained a Quality Award in the first round of the competition in June. This included Thomas Crutchley from J H Price & Sons for Laurel Bank in Moneyreagh, Newtownards; Stephen Davidson from Boland Reilly Homes Ltd for St Andrews Point in Ballyhalbert; Andrew Johnston from Antrim Construction Company Ltd for Porter Green in Larne; Alan Lynas from Porter & Co for Saddlers Hall in Hillsborough; and Conor Maguire from Alskea Ltd for Chantry Gardens in Greenisland.
Commenting on all the winners, NHBC Regional Director, Padraig Venney, said, "To reach this level of the competition means without question that you are at the very top of the house building industry. The winning site managers are all building homes to an exceptional standard and are worthy winners.
Richard, Jim and Wayne will now go on to compete for the ultimate title in house building, Supreme Award Winners, to be unveiled at a gala ceremony in January 2019.

Interview: Jesse Colin Young
on 1 April 2019 at 11:10 pm
Jesse: "One of the triggers would be a chord progression that I'd never used or heard before…" Photo: Brent Cline
Emerging with his first new record in over a decade, the ex-Youngbloods frontman has rediscovered all of his songwriting magic
As the frontman of The Youngbloods, whose version of Get Together remains one of the best examples of the unifying power of song, Jesse Colin Young experienced life in the centre of the mid-60s peace movement. Upon leaving the group in 1972, Young launched a solo career which continues to this day. A particular favourite of ours is his 1973 album Song For Juli, which demonstrates his ability to blend genres while also maintaining a constant thematic thread through an entire record. Plus, its opening track Morning Sun is truly joyous.
Young recently returned with his first new studio album in 13 years, Dreamers. With his son, Tristan and Colin Linden on production duties, and some writing help from his wife Connie, the record finds him re-energised and once again utilising that ability to bring together styles such as country, folk, jazz, blues and rock into a coherent statement.
We recently spoke to Jesse about his incredible career and how Dreamers came together…
Was there a specific incident which made you think that the time was right to work on a follow-up to Celtic Mambo?
"I was diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2009, I'd probably had it for 20 years before that. I had to take some time off and get better and it was a slow process. Then, in 2016, my son Tristan was graduating from Berklee College of Music and I went to his senior recital. He had put together a little band and I just sat there and they blew me away. I immediately thought, 'I want to play with young people like this'. So when we got an invite to SXSW, I asked Tristan if he would put a band together and he brought forward all these wonderful musicians.
"After the first five shows, I knew that I wanted to record with them. So we toured for about a year and worked on the new material. I worked on writing it. Connie and I wrote a couple of the songs together, including Cast A Stone which opens the album. When we wrote that it came so quickly I think I knew that I was getting better, because there weren't many songs in the years before that."
So you hadn't been able to write at all during that time?
"Some songs, but usually topical songs. I decided to do these little acoustic videos. For the first we made, which was called My Hometown, my Labrador, Django, came and curled up at my feet. It was a one-camera video, very simple. Then whenever I wrote a song over the next three or four years, I would go in and tell Django, 'It's time to work,' and he would come and curl up at my feet and stay there. So yes, maybe there were three or four songs over that period, but that was it."
Did you have one set way of making it happen once you'd rediscovered that desire to write, or would it change depending on the song?
"It's really a song-by-song process. One of the triggers would be a chord progression that I'd never used or heard before. If I sit down in the morning and just play and don't think about it, sometimes those things occur and I make little recordings of them and then come back to them and write lyrics. Sometimes it's an idea. I wanted to write something about how much lying there is on television, so that came first, and Shape Shifters the title probably came to me and I just worked on it as a song until it came out. Then sometimes I would get a line. Yesterday I had a bunch of lyrics in a book that I have not yet put music to.
"Lyrics sometimes come, and I just write everything down. Then when I read them the next day most of it is kinda lame but there'll be a few gems in there and so I will pull the gems out. I really have no control over that and I don't want to. With this record, because time became short and I was three or four songs down, I had to get up every day open up my hands to the heavens and say, 'I'll take some inspiration now please,'. And it kind of worked."
Jesse Colin Young: "I do my best to create a path but then things change…" Photo: Brent Cline
One of the things that struck us about Dreamers is how diverse the genres are. Does the song lead you in a certain direction or is it less spontaneous than that?
"There was no planning there. For example, I knew I wanted to write a song about the environment but I had no idea that it would come as a Cajun waltz. At the beginning, I thought that was peculiar, but that's the way it came and I got Connie to help me with that because I got stuck. I think the theme of what I'm writing about in some ways dictates the musical style. They're all styles that are natural to me, in my life I've used them all so they're all part of me. They come out in one direction or another and I seldom change that."
Is there a shared essence, no matter what the style?
"Well, there's a lot of topical song on this. I didn't plan that but there's a lot of disturbing things going on in the United States, politically and socially. I'm sure that had a big influence. There are three love songs. Some songs were pushed aside as not really fitting in with the group, but in some ways, it just happened and we were able to make. Then, when we started listening to it, had we came up against something that was either lame or didn't fit anywhere I think we would have pushed it aside.
How much say did the band have in the direction of the songs?
"We rehearsed them all and anyone could have an idea when we were doing that. I do my best to create a path but then things change and we come upon parts that I thought were cool, playing by myself, that don't really fit or are awkward with the band, so everyone was involved in that.
"When we went in to record we didn't change a lot of the structures, we were pretty settled and we wanted to be. We recorded most of this live, not the background singers but everyone else. I had a little room so I could play acoustic guitar, Tristan was out playing bass with the drummer. The keyboard player was direct and the same thing with the guitarist. We picked Sound Emporium Studios because they had one room where I could see everyone. We were going for magic and we had our tunes formed and had done our work with them. I have a squash court in South Carolina and we have a little recording set-up there, so we could listen and make sure we were headed in the right direction."
What effect did working with those young musicians have?
"Well, they're just so good. They have so much energy and are such fine musicians. That's what blew me away, the energy. The album has a lot of energy and part of that belongs to them. I noticed that when I play with them live, the energy of the band would lift me up and I'd come off stage and feel like I was 40. We kept the tapes that were the most magical or the most powerful and Tristan was involved in a lot of the work with the producer, Colin Linden, to keep the magic and patch up the mistakes."
What was the working relationship with Colin like? What did he bring to the songs?
"Well, he played on almost everything. And his playing added another energy. He's always been a big Jesse Colin Young fan, this had always been one of his dreams and so there's all this, 'Oh boy, aren't we lucky to do this together,' that we could afford this and do it in this beautiful studio. Colin and Tristan got very close and worked on a lot. That really freed me to just perform, sing and go after it – whether a rhythm guitar track or whenever I felt like singing."
Jesse Colin Young: "I really don't like to bear down and play a song over and over." Photo: Brent Cline
You weren't tempted to produce this one yourself?
"No! I'm done with that. I can't mix my own albums anymore either, my hearing's not good enough. I was able to let go of that, I knew I needed a producer. Colin was brought forth by a fellow who used to be my agent. He knew I wanted to record in Nashville and thought about who would be a good producer for me, the first person he settled on was Colin because he comes out of the blues so strongly. He's a wonderful guy, he has a great personality.
"He reminds me of Charlie Daniels who produced Elephant Mountain, for The Youngbloods. Colin did a beautiful job and I think Tristan really helped. Each time Colin had his stuff there – his pedal boards and dobro and Mandotar – he'd say, 'Gee I'd like to play on this one,' and then on the next one, he'd say the same. He kept the energy focussed, he's such a tasty player and he's a one-pass wonder!
"I really don't like to bear down and play a song over and over. A couple of times through and I'm on my way to being really bored. I think because we had spent the right amount of time crafting their shape we could just concentrate on the magic."
It would be remiss of us not to ask a couple of questions about the early days… How much do those experiences still inform your writing?
"They call those the formative years. Alan Freed, a disc jockey in New York came on the radio when I was 10. There was a lot of doo-wop back then and all of a sudden we got Fats Domino, Little Richard and eventually Elvis. I used to leave my radio on all night, turned way down low so my parents couldn't hear it, but it was right in my headboard a foot from my head. Then I fell in love with folk music and found the blues and then it started to click. When I discovered T-Bone Walker, I thought 'Elvis has been listening to the blues.' He was the one that brought it anyone who was never exposed to any roots blues. Then there was folk music.
"All of that connected and formed me. The first recording I ever made was at prep school, they had a machine where you could cut a one-off record and I recorded Trying To Get To You and then I started writing my own music when I was 15, being locked away in the Monastic boys school that I was attending, and that's where I learnt to play the guitar."
How important has Get Together been for your career?
"Get Together changed my life. When I heard it at an open mic in The Village, I was in The Youngbloods. We would rehearse every day that we could at the Café Au Go Go, every day that it was empty in the daytime. I walked in there one afternoon, thinking it might be open for rehearsal and there was a fellow named Buzzy Linhart singing Get Together on stage. I had seen Buzzy play vibes with Tim Hardin, but I didn't know he was a singer. I ran backstage and said, 'Please, I need the lyrics. I'm in love with this song, I'm going to sing it,' and I knew it would change my life and I knew it would be central to my career and my development as a human being. It was that powerful.
"Maybe that's why it was The Youngbloods version, my devotion to that song, that helped it to become the pure record that it is. There was no pressure to make a single out of that. Nobody had any idea that that would be so big, they left us alone to make a piece of audio art and we got lucky. It never would have been a hit if the country hadn't of been going through what it went through – it was the right time and the right song."
And it's still an important part of your life?
"It's funny, I played in Greenwich Village with Tristan and our drummer Donnie Hogue at this free concert in Central Park that they do all summer. About 6000 people came. It was not the usual audience that I would have in a smaller venue, they were younger and they sang Get Together and they sang it stronger than I have ever heard it sung in my career. It shocked me. I saw some people raising their fists while singing and I thought, 'Wow, what's going on?' After the show, I realised that it was the one-year anniversary of Charlottesville and those people were saying no to white nationalism and saying yes to peace and love. It blew me away.
"The power of that song has never diminished. Sometimes I think that's why I came out of my quasi-retirement, I didn't know whether I was physically ready for this or not but I felt like I had to do it. I wanted to play with these young people and then I realised I wanted to record with them and sing Get Together again – along with all this great new material."

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an optical imaging technique that may enable intraoperative grading and staging of upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) during ureteroscopy. Quantitative analysis of the change of OCT signal with imaging depth, called the attenuation coefficient (mOCT), enables UTUC grading. In 2016, Bus et al proposed a mOCT cut-off of 2.4mm^-1 to differentiate between low and high grade UTUC. The current study is the first validation of the proposed mOCT cut-off for UTUC grading.
UTUC was diagnosed with ureteroscopic biopsies in 40 renal units of 38 consecutive patients, who underwent ureteroscopic OCT (C7-XR OCT system with 2.7Fr Dragonfly probe) prior to biopsies. mOCT analysis was performed offline by two raters, who were blinded for clinical data. For each renal unit, a manually selected region was analyzed in 5 OCT images of the evaluated tumor. UTUC grade, based on the proposed mOCT cut-off, was compared to the histologic grade. Histologic grading of the biopsies was performed by a specialized uropathologist, who was blinded for OCT images.
Patient characteristics are presented in table 1. Based on 2x2 tables (table 2), sensitivity ranged from 82.7 to 86.2% and specificity from 9.1 to 36.4%. The intraclass correlation coefficient for observer agreement between mOCT values of both raters was 0.4.
In this first validation of the proposed mOCT to differentiate between low and high grade UTUC, the sensitivity is in concordance with the initial study. There is, however, a discrepancy in specificity. This discrepancy may arise from the limited number of high grade UTUC cases of the validation study, the limited sample size of the initial study or their difference in histologic reference standard. Therefore, we propose a reevaluation of the mOCT cut-off in a larger cohort to fully explore its potential for UTUC grading.

Home/Trends/Meta's Ad Practices Ruled Illegal Under E.U. Law
Meta's Ad Practices Ruled Illegal Under E.U. Law
Meta's advertising practises were discovered to be in violation of EU law.
The ruling, which adds a new business challenge for the dominant social media company, is one of the most significant decisions made under the European Union's historic data protection law.
Meta suffered a significant setback on Wednesday after European Union regulators discovered that the company had illegally forced users to accept personalised ads. This could seriously undermine the company's Facebook and Instagram advertising businesses.
The ruling, which carries a $414 million fine, could force Meta to make costly changes to its main advertising-based business in the European Union, one of its most important markets.
The 27-nation bloc, home to approximately 450 million people, passed a landmark data-privacy law intended to limit Facebook's and other businesses' ability to collect user information without their prior consent. The decision is one of the most important in legal history. The law went into effect in 2018.
The case's outcome is determined by how Meta obtains users' informed consent to collect their data for personalised advertising. The company's lengthy terms of service, which users must accept in order to access services such as Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, contain language that effectively forces users to either consent to the use of their data for personalised advertising or discontinue the use of Meta's social media services entirely.
Because Meta's European headquarters are in Dublin, Ireland, the country's data privacy board, which serves as the EU's primary regulator of the company, declared that including the legal consent in terms of service effectively forced users to accept personalised ads, which is a violation of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, or also G.D.P.R.
Meta is given three months to explain how it will comply with the ruling. The ruling also does not specify what the company must do, but it may imply that Meta gives users the option of deciding whether they mainly want their data used for such targeted advertising.
One of the most important aspects of Meta's business would be jeopardised if a large number of users refused to share their data. Marketers use data from a user's digital history to target ads to people who are most likely to make a purchase, such as which Instagram videos cause a user to stop scrolling or which links a user clicks when browsing Facebook feeds. Meta was able to earn $118 billion in revenue in 2021 by employing the techniques.
According to Dan Ives, an excellent analyst at Wedbush Securities, the judgement could jeopardise 5 to 7 percent of Meta's overall advertising revenue. He warned that this could be a real gut punch.
The penalty is harsher in comparison to American regulations, where there is no federal data privacy law and only a few states, such as California, have taken action to establish regulations similar to those in the European Union. Any changes Meta makes in response to the decision, however, may have an impact on users in the United States. This is also due to the fact that many technology companies prefer to implement EU regulations globally rather than just in Europe because it is easier to do so. As Manhattan rents rose, she fled to Queens with a $200,000 budget.
What is the price of that mocktail?
When night falls, three friends come across some ancient artwork.
The E.U. ruling is the latest setback for Meta, which was already dealing with a significant drop in advertising revenue as a result of an Apple change made in 2021 that allowed iPhone users to choose whether advertisers could track them. According to a Meta report last year, Apple's changes will cost the company approximately $10 billion by 2022, and consumer surveys show that a sizable majority of users have disabled tracking.
Meta's difficulties stem from its efforts to expand beyond social media and into the metaverse, a type of virtual reality. The company's stock price has dropped more than 60% in the last year, and thousands of employees have been laid off.
The information released on Wednesday relates to two grievances filed against Meta in 2018. Meta announced that it would appeal the ruling, setting up what could also be a protracted legal battle that tests the G.D.P.R.'s strength, as well as regulators' ability to use the law forcefully to compel businesses to change their business, practises.
"We strongly believe our main approach respects G.D.P.R., and we are therefore disappointed by these main decisions," Facebook said in a statement.
Privacy advocates hailed the outcome as a long-overdue response to businesses collecting as much information about consumers as possible online in order to deliver tailored advertisements. However, critics pointed to the lengthy process—which lasted more than four years—as evidence of the G.D.P.R.'s lax and tardy enforcement.
"European enforcement has not also yet delivered on the promise of the GDPR," says Johnny Ryan, a senior fellow at the current Irish Council for Civil Liberties and a privacy rights advocate. The decision portends "a far bumpier ride" for "Big Tech."
The implementation of the G.D.P.R. has been a point of main contention within the European Union. According to their statements, the use of Meta's terms of service for permission was initially found to be legally sufficient by Irish authorities, but they were overruled by a board comprised of representatives from all E.U. countries.
"There has been a great lack of regulatory clarity on this issue, and also the debate among regulators and policymakers about which legal basis is most appropriate in a given situation has been ongoing for some time," according to Meta's statement.
Helen Dixon, the head of Ireland's data protection commission, stated that regulators must be a "honest broker" and resist pressure from privacy activists who want decisions that cannot be challenged in court.
"We won't get anywhere by just trying to rewrite the G.D.P.R. as we would have liked to see it written," Ms. Dixon said in an interview.
There are some indications that the European Union is stepping up its efforts to penalise the world's largest technology companies. New EU laws were passed last year to combat anticompetitive practises in the tech sector and compel social media companies to more aggressively police user-generated content on their platforms. Amazon agreed to make significant changes to how goods are sold on its platform as part of a settlement with EU regulators last month to avoid antitrust charges.
The Irish government fined Meta in November for a data leak discovered the previous year, which resulted in the online publication of the personal information of over 500 million Facebook users.
The European Court of Justice, the European Union's highest court, is also expected to make decisions in 2023 that could result in additional changes to Meta's data collection procedures.
However, many people believe that the enforcement falls short of the rhetoric used by EU policymakers about strict tech regulation. According to Max Schrems, an Austrian activist whose nonprofit organisation, NOYB, filed the complaints that prompted Wednesday's announcement, tens of thousands of data-protection complaints remain unresolved.
He claimed that while you have all of these rights on paper, they are not being enforced in practise.
The European Union has charged Meta Platforms, Inc. with antitrust violations for allegedly distorting competition in the markets for online classified ads.
The bloc's Commission stated in its initial findings, released on Monday, that it "takes issue with Meta META, -1.13% linking its online classified ads service, Facebook Marketplace, to its personal social network, Facebook. Meta's stock fell 1.8% in premarket trade.
"The Commission is also concerned that Meta is mainly imposing unfair trading conditions" on Facebook Marketplace's competitors for its own gain, according to the statement. Meta allegedly "abused its dominant position in two ways," according to the EU.
Meta refuted the claims.
"The European Commission's claims are unfounded. "We will also continue to work with regulatory authorities to also demonstrate that our product innovation is pro-consumer and pro-competitive," Tim Lamb, the company's head of EMEA Competition, said in a statement.
Meta, according to the Commission, raises two major concerns for it. First and foremost, because Facebook Marketplace is integrated with Facebook, the most popular personal social network, Facebook users "always have access to Facebook Marketplace, whether they want it or not." It went on to say that competitors to Facebook's Marketplace were unable to match their significant distribution advantage.
Second, the EU claimed that rival online classified ad services that run advertisements on Facebook or Instagram are subject to unfair trading conditions imposed unilaterally by Meta.
The terms and conditions used by Meta to obtain permission to use advertising-related data obtained from competitors for Facebook Marketplace "are unjustified, and disproportionate, and also not necessary for the provision of main online display advertising services on Meta's platforms," according to the Commission.
According to the EU, such requirements burden competing businesses while benefiting only Facebook Marketplace.
According to a company source, Meta is studying the EU's statement and intends to comment further while fully cooperating with the investigation.
Meta believes that the MarketPlace ecosystem provides more options and a better user experience for buying and selling goods than larger, more established incumbents, addressing the main issue confronting the EU. According to the source, the ecosystem is already thriving in Europe, with players such as Amazon AMZN, -1.69%, eBay EBAY, -0.46%, and Vinted present.
According to the source, the company also denies that users have a choice whether or not to use Marketplace and that it competes with competitor advertiser data.
"Meta reaches billions of monthly users and millions of active advertisers globally through its Facebook social network," says Margrethe Vestager, executive vice president in charge of competition policy.
She asserted that connecting Marketplace to Facebook encourages users to use the online classified ad service.
"In addition, we are concerned that Meta imposed unfair trading terms that allowed it to use information from rival online classified ad services. According to Vestager, if Meta's actions are confirmed, they will violate our competition regulations.

Coast Guard rescues woman, dog from bottom of cliff near Ludington, Mich.

CLEVELAND — U.S. Coast Guard Air Facility Muskegon's MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew rescued a woman and her dog after she had been stranded on Lake Michigan's shoreline at the bottom of a sand bluff, near Ludington, Michigan, Friday.
The woman and her husband had been hiking with their three dogs along the bluff near Lake Michigan, Thursday. They descended the cliff to the shoreline but were unable to climb back up due to loose soil and sand.
The couple had their cell phones but, due to lack of coverage, were unable to notify first responders. The couple spent the night on the shoreline. Friday morning, the husband was able to climb out and notify local responders.
At approximately 10:15 a.m., U.S. Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan launched Coast Guard Station Ludington's 29-Foot Response Boat-Small and a land crew from Station Ludington to assess the situation. The small boat was unable to get near the bluff due to small craft advisory conditions and the shallow depth of water.
Ludington fire department's high angle rescue teams rappelled down to the stranded woman but encountered difficulties because of the steep terrain and loose ground.
U.S. Coast Guard Sector Lake Michigan launched a MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Air Facility Muskegon and later, a MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from Coast Guard Air Station Traverse City to assist. Once both helicopters were on scene it was determined that the dolphin helicopter would conduct the rescue and successfully hoisted the woman and one of her dogs at 12:44 p.m.
The fire rescue team were able to rescue the remaining two dogs. One of the fire team members suffered a leg injury while descending the bluff. The member was given a life jacket and waded into the water to be assisted onto the small boat and transported to local EMS on shore.
The woman was flown to Mason County Airport in Ludington. No injuries were reported.

Nargis Fakhri's 'Amavas' to now release on Feb 1
Published: 05 Jan 2019, 4:26 PM IST
Mumbai, Jan 5 (IANS) Actress Nargis Fakhris "Amavas", which was to release on January 11, will now hit the screens on February 1. The delay is due to visual effects and post production related work.
The film's director, Bhushan Patel, said in a statement: "We are trying to achieve top-class VFX and that is little time consuming. We do not want to release the film haphazardly and want to ensure that the end product is up to the mark."
In the past, Patel has directed horror films like "Ragini MMS 2", "1920 Evil" and "Alone", apart from some television series.
"Amavas" is a horror film. It also features Sachiin Joshi, Vivan Bhathena, Navneet Kaur Dhillon, Mona Singh and Ali Asgar.

It never ceases to amaze me how little effort some writers put into their promotional writing for their own books. After slaving away for months or even years writing a book, surely the book deserves a little extra time and effort to promote it in the best possible light.
Some book descriptions, author bios, social media bios and other promotional texts I have seen look like mere afterthoughts and in some cases, not even properly proofread.
I was prompted to write this post after seeing the word 'writing' incorrectly spelt in not one but three author bios just this week. No, I'm sorry, but the word writing does not have two Ts!
A quick scan of some books on Amazon, plus other book listing sites, revealed many book descriptions that hardly made it to 100 words, and even then, had grammar or spelling errors.
Brevity is good sometimes, but not when you are trying to hook potential readers. So instead of highlighting all of the poor writing I have seen, perhaps it would be better to give a few suggestions on great promotional writing.
I must have seen this used in author bios a thousand times. Even on Twitter, it allows 160 characters to be a little more imaginative and personal. 'Sam authors his books from a human perspective'. A slight improvement, but in the third person? Cold and static to say the least. In any bio, no matter even if just 25 words, try to say why you are interesting and why it is worth finding out more about you. Be imaginative and avoid the tired old clichés.
Book descriptions need to be written so they can be used for various applications. A great tagline for attracting attention followed by a solid 300-400 word summary of the story. An extra 200 words then to include some background information about yourself. When written in this form, the tagline can be used standalone in social media posts and the longer versions for use on ebook retailers, book listing sites, interviews or blogs.
Whatever the need, you have something ready to go. Think about what makes your book great and then put that into your description. Remember that almost every prospective book buyer will read this before deciding to buy your book.
Probably the most difficult thing for writers to write is their own bio. However, it is probably the single most useful promotional tool. With writing and selling books so completely intertwined with the Internet, social media, websites and blogs, a writer's profile can appear in literally hundreds of locations so it really needs to be informative, intelligent and well-written.
Lastly, never post any text that has not been carefully proofread. Even on the fast-paced Twitter feed, take care, as the grammar police are always watching you.
Couldn't agree more! I'm just venturing into the publishing world and have read hundreds, if not thousands, of book descriptions and author bios. The difference between the well-written and poorly written is stark — and I view it as a harbinger of the quality of writing in the books they are promoting.
I know what you mean Beth. I refuse to read anything written by a writter! I'll stick with those who are simply writers.
I guess this is another example of things working screwy for me. My titles with longer descriptions don't sell as well as those I put just a sentence or two of description up for!
But Scath, those one or two sentences must be extremely well written!
Derek, I can't claim full credit.
Beth, I would, but I usually scream for help from a few writing buddies!
I have also seen some of these thoughtless errors, and it makes me wonder what image these writers are trying to portray. Even blogs posts where there are stupid errors, such as they're instead of their or there. Or my personal favorite were instead of where.
I know people are in a hurry, but surely they could read over it just once, for the sake of their self-respect. I am a bit of a perfectionist, and I am painfully aware that my persona is a public one. If I cannot show that I take care even with small things, like twitter posts and bios, how can I expect people to spend money on a full-length novel?
Beth, if you are having trouble with the short synopsis, I found a wonderful blog post from Mike Wells in which he teaches you how to identify the basic elements of your book then write a two-sentence synopsis, or hook. For me it was a lifesaver. Derek, with your permission I include the link to get there http://ht.ly/6VBpJ .
And yes, this comment is excessively long, but I'm procrastinating today, so please forgive me.
Wow, wow, wow! Thanks, Niki!
Thanks, Niki. A great tip.
Writting. Love it! I think there might be a few things at play here. You've probably got a decent number of people who are writers — in that they've written, perhaps even self-published, things — just not good ones. Then you have writers who may be great at the craft, but awkward and/or dismissive when it comes to the self-promo stuff. They feel the art is important, and the promotion isn't actually part of the art, so they spend less time/energy on it. Either way, it is off-putting to see bad grammar and/or spelling in something that's supposed to give you faith in the person as a writer and make you want to commit time (and possibly money) to their work.
If the author doesn't care about their own writing, why should I?
I hate grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. That said, I discovered, after my book was published, that two "professional" proofreaders missed several spelling errors–about six in a 242-page novel. It drives me crazy. When I proofread, I am a stickler for such things, but I cannot proof my own material. How do we find proofreaders who are reliable?
I don't mean to sound snarky, but it seems to me that everyone thinks he or she is a writer. I'm working with someone on his memoir right now, and he doesn't even know simple grammar rules. He has great stories to tell; he's an incredible musician, and he's rubbed elbows with some of the greats in music. However, he cannot really write. I don't want to re-write the entire book, but it's so difficult not to do that. Some people simply need to go back and take some simple writing classes and re-visit grammar and syntax.

This is a small patch for DesktopManager which adds two-dimensional workspace selection. By default, DesktopManager only supports selecting the next/previous workspace. With this patch, you can switch both columns and rows (by pressing hotkeys or touching the active edges).
Additionally, the patch prevents wrap-arounds at the edges, e.g., if you're in the right most column, switching to the next column will leave the current workspace unchanged.
New for Intel-Macs: this updated version of the patch adds support for Intel-Macs by (a) updating mach_inject, and (b) fixing a problem with the pager not being sticky. There is still one problem though: moving a window to another desktop does not work. Any suggestion why is appreciated.
Finally, note that there is also VirtueDesktops which is based on the code of DesktopManager and looks quite promising. However, I need a sticky pager which it does not provide yet.

National Curriculum requirements for Swimming and Water Safety 2021
The PE curriculum at Woodhouse is designed to inspire all pupils to participate, excel and succeed in physical activities and competitive sport. We provide opportunities for all pupils to become physically confident and have a good understanding of their health, fitness and wellbeing. From the onset of their school journey up to leaving Woodhouse, pupils develop their fundamental movement skills (balancing, jumping, throwing etc.), apply these to sporting situations and understand the importance of teamwork and sportsmanship enabling a life-long love for sport.
The curriculum is divided into five strands with the themes of health and fitness interwoven throughout: Gymnastics, Dance, Games, Athletics and Swimming. Pupils are encouraged to thrive in competitive sport and physically demanding activities whilst developing the values of respect and fairness.
Each year group is timetabled for a minimum of two PE lessons a week in addition to a swimming session in the school's on-site swimming pool. Pupils are also encouraged to partake in running and skipping challenges on the school's all weather running track and learn life-long skills through orienteering, using our bespoke orienteering course. Older pupils participate in rock climbing and other adventurous activities at a local climbing gym and excel in gymnastics at a local, state-of-the-art gymnasium.
We are proactive in seeking opportunities for pupils to participate in competitive sports and activities both inside and out of school and have strong links with Rastrick High School, the Pennine Sports partnership and the Calderdale School Games partnership.
