Eight Ways to Avoid Publication | For Sale: Baby Shoes. Never Worn.
← Well, I'm glad I changed the name of the blog!
If you're serious about being a writer, then you should probably keep something important in mind. I guarantee you that ignoring the advice in this article will destroy your chances at being published.
Arrogance? No. Simple common sense and you'll see why when you read further.
There are many things that you have no control over when you try to get a short story or novel published: Did the reader have a bad day, so nothing got past his or her circular file that day? Did the reader not like your work, even though you believe that you've written the masterpiece of the Millennium? No matter how much you'd like to, you can't prevent these sort of thing from happening.
What you can prevent is your story being discarded for errors that make the publisher believe that you are either unintelligent or simply don't care. I'll take them in no particular order.
Always reread your documents, and get someone with a good vocabulary to read through them as well. DO NOT RELY ON YOUR COMPUTER'S SPELL-CHECKER! I cannot stress that point enough. The reason is clear: Eye can rite a sentence that past the spell-checker and still doesn't make real cents.
See what I mean? That last sentence did, in fact, make it past my spell-checker. If all you're doing is looking for a wiggly red line under the word to tell you it's wrong, then you'll get a story bounced so fast that you'll probably hear the BOING! at the publisher's.
You need more than your own eyes and the "eyes" of your computer to get the spelling right in your story. I won't belabour this point overly much; this very sentence involves a different issue -; spelling variations. There are many words that have what are referred to as "British" spellings, such as the form of "belabour" I just used. I could also have written "belabor" and been just as correct. The problem arises when you flip back and forth. If you're typing "colour" early in the manuscript, do NOT suddenly switch to "color" elsewhere. If you're an American writing for the American audience, it's best to avoid the British spellings altogether.
There's a further point to make regarding spell-checking on a computer: as I write this, my computer is telling me that "color" is incorrectly spelled. That's because it's currently set to UK English. As soon as I switched it to US English, it told me that "colour" was the incorrect one. Yet another reason to avoid trusting the computer's spelling suggestion as the right one.
I'm going to rewrite the sentence from above to see if you can catch the other error in it. Obviously, spelling isn't part of that error. The error in question was put in there intentionally.
I can write a sentence that passed the spell-checker and still doesn't make any sense.
I'm not going to throw out all those terms that some people do -; not everyone understands what you mean when you refer to a "pluperfect" tense -; but I will tell you that I changed time sense in that sentence. "I can write" implies that it is not written, or is about to be written. "That passed the spell-checker" states that it has been written already.
3 ) Homophones and similar-looking words.
She should be "poring" over a "tome". Either that, or John should be asking why she's pouring some liquid over the place where someone was buried, and what that burial place is doing in a library.
I won't stress this point too much, because you either get it or you don't. If you don't see the problem with "Take a deep breathe," or "Faster, or else we'll loose him!", then there are other obstacles in the way of your getting published.
Another aspect of commas is using them in a list. Some say that it replaces an "and" in a sentence, as in "John, Mary and Joseph stepped out" replaces "John and Mary and Joseph stepped out". Others use what is called the Oxford comma, which would place a comma after "Mary" in the first version. This is a matter of style, and you should find out the publisher's position on it. If the publisher has no official position on it, then your only worry is consistency, because switching back and forth between them will be noticed. Most American publishers tend to use the Chicago Manual of Style as their "bible" for punctuation and grammar. It would be money well spent if you buy a copy.
There are three main uses for semicolons: to connect two clauses that have equal weight, to separate items in a list that contains commas, and when using a comma to separate would lead to confusion. A), B), and C) are examples of each of these.
A) Proofreading a document will help catch errors; this should never be done when you're tired.
B) The meeting will be in Dallas, Texas on April 26, 2008; in Boulder, Colorado on May 1, 2008; and in Los Angeles on May 15, 2008.
C) The inventory request was for 3-ring binders, cellophane tape, and ballpoint pens; but toner, legal pads, and pencils were sent in their place.
Colons are used in five places: to announce a list (such as this one); to announce an important clause that needs a stronger break than a semicolon; in a quotation of a biblical verse such as John 3:1; marking subdivisions of time such as 6:30 a.m.; and to separate a title and subtitle such as Harpo Speaks: the Autobiography of Harpo Marx.
The most common usage of the dash is to hyphenate a word. The other two most common usages are to be inclusive in a list, such as saying "October 13-19," which tells the reader that the writer is referring to every single day from October 13 through October 19; and to be a slightly more informal version of a colon when announcing a list or important clause.
This is a mistake that beginning writers always seem to make. It sounds easy to avoid, but it can be surprisingly hard to write with consistant perspective (or "point of view").
When you write, you must decide on the point of view. Is it simply from a single character's perspective? Does the reader only see what the character sees, and never learns anything that the character doesn't remember?
There is nothing wrong with using multiple people's perspectives. Many excellent books do this. Tom Clancy does this in all of his books. Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is another example. Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen does this as well.
All of the books above share a trait, however: the perspective changes are clearly marked. The reader can always tell when the point of view has switched to a new person. It is when you fail to mark these shifts that problems come in. I have read amateur works where the writer shifted to the thoughts of four separate people in one scene. A scene should focus on one character, and only his or her innermost thoughts should be available to the reader in that scene. If the innermost thoughts of a different character are needed, then a new scene should be written. Perhaps the same incident as seen by another person would do well, if it is vital that the reader get those deepest thoughts. Publishers watch for this sort of mistake, however, and doing it in a scene is a sure-fire way to kill your chances at getting published if you've managed to get them to read past your first hundred words.
John strode into the room confidently, smiling as he saw his girlfriend Lisa sitting on the couch. From the small ticking noises she made, it was obvious to him that she was knitting, which she only did when very nervous.
It's probably the fight I just had with David that has her worried. I'd better ease her mind.
He walked over and gently touched her shoulder, murmuring "Hey," as he touched her, hoping to avoid startling her.
She was obviously startled despite that, as her knitting shot skyward and she spun, her mind racing at the possibilities–why was someone touching her? Her eyes filled with happy tears as she realised that it was her John, and not David who had caught her attention.
He grinned widely. "Sorry about that," he said, walking around the couch and pulling her into a hug.
The example above is heavy-handed. I wanted it clear that the first three paragraphs and the last one are from John's perspective. We even see his thoughts. The problem is in the fourth paragraph, where the perspective suddenly shifts to Lisa. If we are seeing everything from John's point of view, it can be jarring to suddenly see another character's thoughts.
That snippet with John and Lisa might not seem bad to you. A publisher, though, is going to look at that and realise that you don't have a solid grasp on writing because of that unexpected perspective change. The scene might not be confusing to you, but if you don't train yourself to write a single scene from a single point of view, then you will never get published by more than a vanity press. I have heard this directly from published authors who have worked closely with their publishers.
This article is certainly not the entirety of the subject. There are punctuation mistakes I have not gone into, various grammar mistakes that need to be avoided, and a slew of other things that will kill your chances to be published. But these are the ones that cause the most trouble, in my opinion. Pay heed to these points and you will improve your chances.

On 27th of February 2014, the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Lithuania recognized that the spelling of names and surnames in the passport of a Lithuanian citizen is a linguistic issue. The Commission of the Lithuanian Language (PKJL) has the core role in that matter and one of its basic functions is formulating guidelines for national language politics. What is more, the Commission's opinion always has to be taken into consideration when the question of the spelling of names and surnames in a passport is considered.
The most important explanatory aspect of the Constitutional Court is a statement that non-Lithuanian names and surnames can be written not only using Lithuanian letters, but other symbols from the Latin alphabet may be used as well, as long as they are consistent with the tradition of the Lithuanian language and do not encroach on the national language identity.
The European Foundation of Human Rights (EFHR) reminds all that until today the Commission had their own clear position on the matter of the original spelling of names and surnames. The Commission claimed that non-Lithuanian names and surnames do not belong to the Lithuanian language system and should not be Lithuanianized. As an example, the Commission provided an example of non-Lithuanian company names, trademarks, magazines, artistic band names etc. Moreover, in the opinion of PKJL publicized on 14 January 2008, the Commission claims that in every language there are facts of foreign languages used and there has never been a language system that has been destroyed because of it yet.
Taking into consideration the aforementioned opinion of the Commission, EFHR hopes that the Commission will still maintain their position about positive changes in the restrictions of language rights. The foundation emphasizes that the matter of the original spelling of names and surnames is becoming more and more important not only for the representatives of national minorities, but also for people who have married a foreigner.
More information on the spelling of names and surnames can be found on the EFHR website. EFHR offers free legal aid regarding the abovementioned matter.

As the story goes, Jim Koch found his great-great grandfather's lager recipe and decided to get into the beer industry. More than three decades later, the craft brewing pioneer and founder of The Boston Beer Company Inc. became perhaps the first craft beer billionaire based on the success of Samuel Adams Boston Lager. In the Harvard graduate's 2016 book, "Quench Your Own Thirst: Business Lessons Learned Over a Beer or Two," Koch discusses the management techniques he used to help grow Boston Beer (Nasdaq: SAM) into the fifth-largest U.S. brewery by sales volume. After addressing the Michigan Brewers Guild's Winter Conference in Kalamazoo this month, Koch joined MiBiz over a beer to discuss the state of the ever-changing industry.
The craft beer industry started to plateau last year, growing less than 10 percent after a stretch of double-digit gains. You've seen ups and downs in your more than three decades in the craft beer industry, so what's your best advice to small brewers who've only known growth?
You have to transcend this total capitalist mentality and understand there are many forms of growth. There's personal growth as a human being. That's quite valuable. There's growth by learning a little humility, for example. That's a very good thing, that's a valuable form of growth. There's growth in your own capabilities and competences. It's not automatic — maybe I'm going to have to listen to my customers a little bit more, and work on my quality and upgrade my brewing skills. That's growth. It's not, 'Hey, now I have more money to buy more fermenters,' but that gets old, too.
That's exactly right. People who have invested for purely financial motives: Hopefully, they're grownups and they realize you have some things where you make a lot of money and some things where you don't.
While the industry is in a state of change, where do you see it in five or 10 years?
I think there can be 300 more breweries in Michigan. Will any of them be the next Bell's or Founders? Will any of them sell out to Spaniards for $100 million? Probably not. And if that's your goal, you're probably going to be disappointed.
In other words, the craft brewers starting today will most likely remain small businesses 10 years from now. Given that, how does the definition of success change as the massive growth opportunities subside?
When I started, my definition of success was that I could pay my alimony and child support and have something left over to live on — and do what I loved. I was fine. I made $17,000 in my first full year. That was awesome. … God knows, maybe you'll be the next Sam Adams, but if it takes you as long as it took me, you're not going to be the next Sam Adams until 2049.
How has the strong growth in recent years altered people's perceptions of the craft beer industry?
Small-scale brewing in a world dominated by giants has always been precarious. The success of craft beer and its entering the mainstream of culture in the last 12 years has maybe cloaked the fundamental reality that business is demanding. It's challenging every day to survive and prosper in any business. The wonderful part about business is it's competitive. You've got to keep growing, keep challenging yourself. … If you're not excited by the challenge of doing really cool, amazing things that nobody else is doing, then you might as well get a more stable, safer job than craft brewing.
You also had a different strategy than most craft brewers in that you took Boston Beer public in 1995. With some of the consolidators today appearing to have a roll-up strategy ahead of a possible IPO and exit, what's your assessment of the public market?
To me, going public was great because on the one hand, all of my original investors who at that point had had their money in for 12 years without seeing a penny of it returned, they were able to get some liquidity. … That is a patient investor to get zero return for 12 years.
Knowing what you know today, would you still pursue an IPO?
I was able to go public without giving up control. The public shares are non-voting. I have all the voting shares. We have corporate democracy in a beautiful form: We take a vote, and I have all the votes.
While it's no California or Colorado or Oregon, where do you see Michigan's place in the industry?
Michigan has an exceptional and unique place in craft brewing. Because of the latitude and the climate, you have a significant craft brewing industry, but also a significant malting and hop growing industry. In Michigan, it's centered on craft — craft hops and craft malt. That's unique, that's pretty cool, and it's happened in the last five years. … There's now a craft infrastructure that extends back to the farm.
When you look ahead to the next chapter for craft beer, what keeps you up at night?
What keeps me up is just the drive to keep innovating, and that's what keeps me going. If I had to get up every day and do the same thing that I've been doing for 33 years, I wouldn't do it. But I love what I'm doing. … At this point, I'm still excited to wake up knowing that I've got a couple of 20-hour days in front of me. I know I'm going to enjoy it and I get to do unique and different things.
Not many people look forward to 20-hour days, Jim.
That's the trade off. After 33 years, it's still long hours, but it's not hard work.


Is there a safe way to prove your identity to the landlord and avoid identity theft?
... scared if she misuse my information in the future. Is there an alternative Card that i can get and show it to her instead? something that shows my identity is correct but won't contain sensitive information.
New identity fraud victim, and they didn't even choose a good card!
... in Canada, is there a way to get my US credit report in order to check if I have any credit cards not deactivated OR check if anyone has committed identity fraud using my US info (e.g. Gotten a US credit card in my name after I left) Thanks in advance.

Some useful dates
CAA (whose membership is airlines and travel companies) says London has good connectivity now, but will need more airport capacity in future
Date added: December 15, 2011
The CAA, whose membership is air travel companies and operators, has produced an "insight note" to add to its contribution to input into the government's work on developing a new aviation policy for the UK. There will be another major consultation on this next spring. The CAA says that whereas London has good connectivity now, "We conclude that choice, value and resilience are all likely to be affected in the absence of additional aviation capacity." ie. The airlines and the tour operators want more airport capacity, and the CAA is lobbying for them.
Aviation policy must protect consumers as airport capacity constraints threaten the UK's preeminent position
[The CAA report concludes that: They have "Considered the likely implications for consumers of forecast demand growth. We conclude that choice, value and resilience are all likely to be affected in the absence of additional aviation capacity." Page 38 of http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/589/CAA_InsightNote1_Aviation_Policy_For_The_Consumer.pdf ]
14.12.2011 (CAA press release)
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has today advised the Government that although currently the UK is extremely well-connected, that situation is changing and will not last without a robust aviation policy setting out clear objectives for the future.
In its Insight Note Aviation Policy for Consumers, published today, the CAA has set out the view that the Government needs to put the people who use airports at the heart of its thinking when it consults on its Aviation Policy next spring.
At present, most people in the UK have excellent access to airports, with around 90% of the population living within two hours travel of at least two airports serving international destinations and 70% within one hour of one airport. This level of choice is currently unrivalled in Europe.
That position will soon be tested by increasing capacity constraints in the South East, which will increasingly limit the choice and value of available flights. Limited supply means the price of air travel is likely to rise.
While London is well connected now, capacity constraints at London's airports may already mean that their airlines are less able than those at other European airports to try out new routes to emerging markets. The lack of available capacity at Heathrow is already beginning to affect the UK's air services agreements with foreign states.
Consumers who do not live in the south of the country already have to use a variety of hubs to travel internationally, and the Insight Note sets out the importance for UK consumers of maintaining a good network of European transfer airports. Although other European airports are competitors for the industry, for consumers they increase choice and value.
Iain Osborne, CAA Director of Regulatory Policy, said: "We frequently hear that the UK is losing out to Europe in its aviation network and that there is a connectivity crisis in London. The data we've published shows that there is no crisis today: London is one of the world's best connected cities and the UK punches well above its weight internationally in its air links.
"However, capacity constraints mean airports may become increasingly specialised in the routes they offer and the airlines that fly them. Government needs to recognise this and ensure that its aviation policy has the consumer interest at its heart.
"This review offers a chance to weigh up what approach to future airport capacity is likely to best serve UK passengers as a whole, rather than only considering what works well for the South East."
The CAA also reemphasised its message that when setting its objectives for aviation, the Government must be mindful that a privatised aviation industry will deliver solutions better if Government sets high-level objectives and allows industry to use its own innovation meet those objectives. Government is not best placed to plan detailed investment blue-prints.
Notes to editors;
1. Aviation Policy for Consumers is available on the CAA website: www.caa.co.uk/sustainableaviationframework
2. Today's Insight Note follows the publication of the CAA's response to the Department for Transport's Aviation Policy Framework Consultation.
3. Aviation Policy for Consumers is the first of three Insight Notes to be published by the CAA. It will be followed in January 2012 by Aviation Policy for the Environment and Aviation Policy for the Future.
4. The CAA is the UK's specialist aviation regulator. Its regulatory activities range from making sure that the aviation industry meets the highest technical and operational safety standards to preventing holidaymakers from being stranded abroad or losing money because of tour operator insolvency.

Aviation Policy: Contributing to a Sustainable Aviation Framework for the UK
Role of the CAA
The Government is currently undertaking a thorough review of aviation policy for the UK.In his February 2011 letter to the CAA Chair setting out his priorities for the CAA, the Secretary of State requested that the CAA contributes to the Government's aim to promote sustainable aviation by providing advice to inform the development of a sustainable aviation policy framework for the UK. A copy of his letter is here.The Economic Policy and International Aviation (EPIA) team within the CAA leads on advising on the Government's aviation policy development and is responsible for taking a forward a programme of work to ensure we contribute effectively to the Government's work in developing a sustainable aviation framework and help to forge a consesus on the issues raised.The CAA recognises that there is a pressing need for a robust and sustainable policy framework in order that the aviation industry delivers the choice and value that UK aviation consumers demand whilst ensuring that local and global environmental challenges are met.
CAA's contributions to a Sustainable Aviation Framework
In the CAA's response to the Government's 2011 scoping consultation we set out how clarity and durability can be acheived by formulating the policy framework at two distinct levels:
The strategic level: the Government needs to set broad objectives and the outcomes it is seeking to acheive which will deliver those objectives.The implementation level: the Government then needs to set out steps that it intends to take to bring about the outcomes; ensuring that Government only intervenes where it has the ability to drive forward strategy.
The CAA has committed to publish a series of three Insight Notes to build on this initial contribution:
– Aviation Policy for Consumers is the first document in the series (Dec 2011).. It considers the issue of connectivity from the perspective of current and future consumers. In particular, it addresses the implications of forecast demand growth for the choice and value offered to UK consumers.
Aviation Policy for Consumers.
– Aviation Policy for the Environment will consider how UK aviation can grow without unacceptable environmental consequences in terms of climate change, noise and local air quality.
– Aviation Policy for the Future: Creating a Sustainable Framework will consider a number of the challenges that will need to be addressed to ensure that the framework provides both a robust strategic platform for the successful delivery of investment, and the improvements to the UK aviation system required to meet the needs of aviation consumers and the UK economy.
[The report "Aviation Policy for Consumers" concludes that: They have "Considered the likely implications for consumers of forecast demand growth. We conclude that choice, value and resilience are all likely to be affected in the absence of additional aviation capacity.]
Comment from an AirportWatch member:
People may think of CAA as being an arm of Government, ignoring the significance of the .co.uk suffix to its WEB address – it's just another aviation lobbying group, part-owned by the industry and part-staffed by those nice people who enter via the revolving door between CAA and DfT.
The CAA
Wikipedia, on the CAA says:
The CAA employs just over 1,000 staff, mainly in two offices, CAA House in Kingsway, Holborn in London and Aviation House, next to London Gatwick Airport. It does not get any direct government funding, but runs entirely on subscriptions from its member companies. It is classed as a public corporation in the public sector. The connection it has with the government is via the Machinery of Government and Standards Group of the Cabinet Office.
Its members are Air travel companies and operators http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Aviation_Authority_(United_Kingdom)
The responsibilities of the Civil Aviation Authority
" … the CAA advises the Government on aviation issues, represents consumer interests, conducts economic and scientific research, produces statistical data and provides specialist services. The UK Government requires that the CAA's costs are met entirely from its charges on those whom it regulates. Unlike many countries, including the other EASA member states, there is no direct Government funding of the CAA's work."

Hackers Help: How To Make The ÄPPLARÖ In Waterproof/watertight Outdoor Storage Bench?


I read the news this morning only to find out that the famed liberal entertainer Jon Stewart is defending Samantha Bee and her attack on Ivanka Trump. Stewart claims that this is all part of a "game" that conservatives play claiming to be "victims". If it's a game, how did the conservatives get Samantha Bee to throw out the first pitch??
A Democrat Senator from Oregon, Jeff Merkley, broadcast live from outside an immigrant detention center in Texas yesterday. He was denied entrance. Being a member of the legislative branch does not guarantee one access to any place that one desires to go. He had to broadcast his liberal swill from outside. Why not just contact Donald Trump ahead of time and see if you can visit??
Yesterday's NASCAR race from Pocono was broadcast on FS1. Meanwhile, over on Fox they were broadcasting an LPGA tournament. I don't get FS1 so I had no television programming to sleep by. I have a fear a being bored to death by golf, so I just turned off the television.
On the news the other night, Mitch McConnell was giving a speech with some pointers to the President about making a deal with North Korea. Mitch telling Trump how to make a deal?? You're kidding me, right? Mitch who can't get a budget passed? Mitch who can't get appointees confirmed by the Senate? Mitch who still thinks that Susan Collins is a Republican?? Evidently, Mitch has been watching Jon Stewart.
In the 2016 campaign Hillary Clinton spoke endlessly about her diplomatic skills in foreign policy. She ranted (and continues to rant) that other nations will not respect us because of Trump. How about all of the Democrats attacking Trump when he cancelled the summit a couple of weeks ago? Heard from those folks lately?? Did Obama take his "Let Me Bow to You" world tour to North Korea? I'm sorry, I forgot that there aren't many Muslims in North Korea. Anyway, to get back on topic, so who will be the first US President to meet with a North Korean head of state? As of today, Donald Trump. I realize that there is still time for it all to blow up. If it does, I am sure that Trump will get the blame.
I read a quote from Chuck Todd where he said that the NFL owners sided with white people in the national anthem protest issue. Liberals, they just have to keep stirring the pot!!

Melzi D'Eril 34, the transversality of workspace by Asti Architetti
Asti Architetti has recently completed a new office complex in the Parco Sempione area of Milan, starting from the concept of "campus" and focusing on the transversality of workspaces in the sense that the roofed areas, the open-air areas, the terraced areas, the common areas and the private areas are so interconnected that in the end you can work anywhere.
Located between Via Melzi d'Eril and Via Londonio, the existing building has been renovated by modifying its height, to design an office building consisting of seven above-ground floors with an internal courtyard interconnected with high low-rise bodies along the perimeter.
To underplay the increase in verticality, the project building recovers in the initial part the height and slope of the roof of the adjacent building and rises by creating a series of terraces until it reaches its maximum height towards the public space, while still preserving the average heights of the existing buildings.
Architect Paolo Asti explains:
"The project's challenge was to make the existing buildings, expressions of our roots, coexist with both modern and future times, firmly believing that the combination of these two opposite ends will allow us to experience contemporaneity at its best. Thus, an architecture capable of expressing its roots, preserving in the façade the ground junction, yet carrying on its shoulders a kind of glass and steel "spaceship" resting on the building. The complex coexistence of these two languages in our opinion is very much in the spirit of "milanesità" (Milanese style), always able to make the past coexist with the present."
The project included conservative renovation of the first two floors and expansion on floors 3-4-5. Starting from the third floor, the structure is set back on the Via Campo Lodigiano side; the fifth and sixth floors are further set back, creating a system of terraces to distance themselves from the neighboring building and from which the eave and ridge alignments are taken. A series of photovoltaic panel arrays are placed on the roof.
Industrial sheds characterized one of the sides of the inner square: they have been emphasized by simplifying the features and the architects made them transparent by visually connecting them with the inner courtyard which is going to be heavily planted. Asti says: "I hope that a sense of community will develop around the central court. It is a circular ring that gives the idea of the European square."
The façade design follows a language of formal cleanliness, simplification, and lightness. The fronts feature a new double-glazed structural glass façade from floor to ceiling that enhances the transparency of the building shell and allows full visual connection between workspaces and the outdoor environment. The glazed modules design is overlaid with a compositional level marked out by intradoses, horizontal and vertical "pilasters" designed to fractionalize the building's dimensions.
The lower part, which is in keeping with the alignments of the neighboring buildings, is characterized by the use of Gré stump stone, which better matches typical Milanese materials.
The upper part, on the other hand, is characterized by the use of burnished anodized aluminum vertical slats, which is a useful difference that helps identify the elevated parts and to fractionalize the size of the building.
Finally, the renovation project included systems designed with the aim of achieving the maximum energy performance and ensuring correct levels of comfort and use for the building as a whole. In fact, now the office complex has four certifications: Leed Platinum, Breeam Very Good, WellSilver e WiredScore.

Micro-living solution: the first Italian City Pop opens in Milan


Set in Salford in the 1970s , the story is about a Pakistani father, George Khan, who has been married to an English woman, Ella Khan, for over 25 years. They have seven children who are half Pakistani and half English. George wants the children to follow the traditions of the Pakistani , but the children have other ideas! All but one of the children want to live their lives the way they want too, that's the English way. This causes conflict, as the father demands respect from his children, and wife! and tells them, they have to obey his wishes without question. However, behind his back the children ridicule him, and go about their lives in their own way, but only in secret. Ella, his wife is caught in the middle. Does she side with her husband to force the children to follow the traditional way, or does she stick up for them, knowing if she does, she is likely to get a beating from George. The situation comes to a head when George has arranged for two of his sons to get married .
This is Ayub's first play and a pretty good one as well. It is very powerful, and really highlights the problems that must face a lot of people in this country in the same situation. The play touches the heart strings a few times, it is warm and comical, yet at the same time very serious and violent. You can sympathise a little with George, who tries hopelessly to hang on to his values, at almost any cost, after all this is all he knows and he believes it is the best thing for his family. However, when he beats his wife and children , you soon lose that sympathy.
The acting is superb by Nasser Mamarzia, who plays the father, even if at first it takes a while to get used to his accent, a very convincing and realistic performance. Linda Bassett, his wife, stole the show for me though, as a warm , caring mother and loving wife, she relates her anxiety quite superbly and has great comic timing. So too does Gillian Hanna, who plays Auntie Annie, a friend of Ella's.
An highly entertaining play on a very difficult subject.

Intercontinental Cup: India disappoint against DPR Korea but best is yet to come for Igor Stimac
For managers with a definite football philosophy, 'process' is often a keyword. The way the word or the concept is received by fans, media and experts alike often depends on the results and performances of the team.
Pep Guardiola's football process is considered the soul of his success at Manchester City in the last two years, but the same word 'process' often irritated Manchester United fans when then manager Louis van Gaal referred to it over and over again while explaining his philosophy to the media. The Red Devils were quite laborious under the Dutchman and enjoyed little success.
Process is a word that you'd find in several of Igor Stimac's statements since becoming the head coach of the Indian football team. He, like many managers that stress on this term, is trying to instill a different football philosophy in his team.
The Croatians' methods though came under criticism after India fell to a 2-5 defeat at against DPR Korea in the Intercontinental Cup, just days after losing their opening game 2-4 to Tajikistan.
India's defence endured another evening to forget as the relentless North Korean forwards ran riot with their pace and movement. Their work rate in denying the Indian defence an outlet to pass the ball forward was also a fundamental element of their success.
Wholesome changes
Despite facing a must-win situation, Stimac made nine changes to the eleven, with only captain Sunil Chhetri and central midfielder Amarjit Singh retaining their places.
Pritam Kotal was restored in the right-back role, Sandesh Jhingan returned in the centre-back position after recovering from his injury with Subhasish Bose partnering him. Jerry Lalrinzuala slotted in at left-back.
In midfield, the Croatian went with a double pivot of Amarjit and Rowlin Borges behind a trio of Brandon Fernandes, Chhetri and Manvir Singh who's primarily a striker.
Jobby Justin who made his first full start as a national team player led the attack.
The highly changed personnel meant there was little chemistry among the ranks and India chased shadows for most parts of the first half that ended with a 3-0 scoreline in the visitors' favour.
Too many changes, too frequently? A section of Indian fans felt so. However, perspective must prevail. The Croatian was only in his fourth game in-charge as manager of the team and there are no big prizes to be won at the Intercontinental Cup.
Although hosted by India, it's strictly a preparatory tournament as how pre-season is for the big football clubs in Europe. In those games, managers often change the entire team at half time as the primary focus is to give players the necessary minutes under their belts.
"We use these games as friendly games so we can find out everything about all candidates and choose the team for the (World Cup) qualifiers. I can't look at the score now. I need to look at the score for India in the future and not now," Stimac said after the game.
One would argue that the coach spends a lot of time looking at players on the training ground, but it's the performances during a competitive match that tells him much more about the players at his disposal.
The game against DPR Korea would have gone a long way in helping Stimac identify the players he can trust, and thus the rotations were successful.
"I don't want to name any players, it's not my way of dealing with things. I will keep that in the dressing room but you can't hide the truth. The evidence is there. When I added new players on the pitch, we started playing, started taking responsibility and started creating chances. We were dangerous in front of goal," the 51-year-old stated.
Defensive structure not to the mark
India have conceded 11 goals in the four games under Stimac. A lack of defensive organisation which forms a very basis of any competitive team has been a recurring problem for the Croatian apart from the game against Thailand when India went a goal up early and the coach decided to sit back and protect it.
The solitary clean sheet under his regime was in that game against Thailand when India defended in their comfort zone: deep inside their own box.
However, in other games, Stimac has urged his team to play with a high back line and put the onus of building up the play on his defenders and goalkeeper. This is where Indian players struggle as most of the current generation of players weren't trained to play that way from an early age.
That's where Stimac's preference for young footballers like Narender Gahlot stems from. The 18-year-old is more comfortable with the ball at his feet and can help the team beat the opponent team's press.
A team like DPR Korea who is full of running is an even tougher opponent to execute Stimac's style against. Their pressing is instant and relentless. A lot of big teams in modern-day football use their goalkeepers as a potent tool to beat the press. However, Amrinder Singh who's not a first-choice goalkeeper, struggled with the ball at his feet and almost gave away a couple of goals while trying to clear it. So on Saturday, the Koreans were able to suffocate the Indians.
The problem of defensive dis-organisation is faced by many teams even at the highest level when they are trying to adopt a different playing philosophy. Maurizio Sarri, considered one of the greatest tacticians in modern-day football, had openly stated last year that his Chelsea side will struggle defensively for 2-3 months before getting used to his style of defending.
Even Guardiola needed a season to get his Manchester City players to defend as a unit and the same applied for Jurgen Klopp who needed to sign a certain Virgil van Dijk to shore up his defence after three years as manager of Liverpool.
Much closer in our own backyard, Sergio Lobera needed one and a half seasons to have the desired defensive stability at FC Goa who have been playing a unique brand of attacking football hitherto unseen on the Indian football stage.
Thus with Stimac, just four games into his tenure, expecting him to get India ready to defend in an organised manner in his system, is asking for a bit too much.
Central defence needs to gel. Takes time. It's the price we pay for a wholesome change. Don't give up on @IndianFootball. I'm sitting surrounded mostly by first timers, this is a sobering experience for them. The hopeful part – every time we concede, they clap to spur the team on
— Chiranjit Ojha (@ChiranjitOjha) July 13, 2019
As stated by Stimac, he may tweak or alter his approach to suit his players when the results matter, but tournaments like the Intercontinental Cup are his playground and he's right to deprioritise results and focus solely on preparation.
A manager often earns his bread by the substitutions he makes during matches, and the Croatian earned full marks on that front on Saturday. His side have shown great quality in patches in the four games of his reign and on Saturday they also gave a glimpse of their powers of recovery. So amidst this dark hour in terms of results, there's evidence that the best is yet to come for Igor Stimac.

American University Once Had A Chemical Warfare Center
Tents on the American University campus. Library of Congress photo
The Spring Valley neighborhood next to American University is built on top of a World War I-era chemical weapons experiment station. From 1917 to 1920, researchers here cooked up deadly gas weapons and tested them in the nearby fields.
When the US entered World War I in 1917 American University was a struggling institution with 28 students, located in the undeveloped hills above of Washington.
The university's president wrote a letter to "his excellency Woodrow Wilson" offering the school "for such purpose as the Government may desire. The campus may be used either for a camping ground for troops, for gardening and raising products for the Army, or for such other purpose as you may elect."
Secretary of the War Newton Baker took him up on the offer and established The American University Experiment Station, the nation's largest chemical weapon facility. A thousand chemists were assembled to develop cutting edge Mustard Gas and Lewisite weapons for the nascent Gas Service Section.
They tested their concoctions on-site over mock trenches and dugouts meant to simulate conditions on the Western Front. It must have been a bizarre spectacle for Washington residents; imagine seeing mortar crews on the AU campus launch gas shells at goats and stray dogs tethered over by Little Falls Park.
One of these firing ranges acquired the moniker "Mustard Field" as a result of its frequent bombardments - it's located at the current intersection of 49th Street and Sedgewick Street NW.
These poison gas experiments didn't pose the public health threat you may be imagining - these were individual gas shells in an unpopulated area. The small clouds of gas would have quickly dissipated into the breeze. (On the battlefield, gas attacks were often on the scale of tens of thousands of shells.)
By 1919 the war was over and the Army began the process of closing down the American University Experiment Station. The trenches were filled in and tents were packed up. According to the American University Eagle, the DC Fire Department burned down 70 temporary buildings on campus that were "so impregnated with toxic ingredients that they were unsuitable for student use."
"The hole called hades". Library of Congress photo
The massive stockpile of chemical shells and poison was more complicated to dispose of. The Army buried most of it in pits on the southern edge of campus. The photo above shows Sergeant Charles Maurer at the largest disposal sites. The back of the photo bears the following caption:
"The most feared and respected place on the grounds. The bottles are full of mustard, to be destroyed here. In Death Valley. The hole called Hades."
Within a decade houses began to pop up in the area as Spring Valley emerged as a upscale early suburb, and the public simply forgot about the deadly chemicals under their feet.

The buried chemical munitions were rediscovered in 1993 by a construction crew working on a utility trench. Over the next year the Army Corps of Engineers unearthed and removed almost 200 old World War 1 era shells. Additional discoveries were made in 2000 and 2007. In 2013 they found the "hole called Hades" depicted in the photograph above. It was underneath a house at 4825 Glenbrook Road.
If you scroll over to the address on Google Earth you can see that the house has been torn down and the property is encased in a massive aluminum barn structure. Inside, hazmat protected specialists have been working to meticulously excavate the deadly pit. Four sirens on the corners of the barn are rigged to sound if any poison gas escapes. Residents have been trained to shelter in place if they hear the alarms go off.
When the diggers unearth munitions or chemical glassware, it is transported by helicopter to a federal property next to Dalecarlia Reservoir, where it is safely destroyed. The Army Corps of Engineers hope to wrap up the project by 2017.
Here are some additional photos of of the American University Experiment Station during World War 1 via the Library of Congress:

The difference between skimming and scanning is that skimming means to go through selected or main part of the context whereas the scanning refers to read a particular part of the context that you were searching for ignoring all another irrelevant context.
The term skimming and scanning both refer to the type of reading. Just going through the text to get the idea of what is written o what the text about refers to the skimming. But when reading a text to find a certain topic or line or answer etc, we skip all the unwanted and irrelevant stuff and read the desired lines. Before we skim a topic it is not compulsory that we have any knowledge related to the text before while it is entirely opposite in the case of scanning. One must have at least enough knowledge of the content that whether it has or not the thing you are looking for. For example in a shop when searching for a book of your interest we usually skim the topics and conclude to buy or not. While when solving a comprehension passage, to find the answer we skip all the text and just search and read the answer to the question, this is known as scanning.
Definition Skimming means to go through topics or main part of the context to get the basic idea about it. Scanning refers to read a particular part of the context that you were searching for ignoring all another irrelevant context.
Technique Only go through the heading, titles or main part of the text. Going to a part of text in detail to find out something in your mind.
Usage Gives a quick and overall view of what is the text about. Is limited to a certain paragraph which is searched and read to find something on mind usually.
Requirement Does not require any previous knowledge about the text. Reader must have some knowledge about text prior scanning the text.
Skimming means to go through the headings of a context or main part of the context, to get the basic idea about it. It is a quick method or way for knowing what the text is about. A person does not need to have any previous knowledge of the text before he is going to skim. When a person skims a text at first sight he or she decides either to read or not the complete text. In other words we may say that person gets to know the basic idea of the text and either it is interested for the reader or not. Skimming includes reading the headings or going through the abstract or the bold main titles or lines. The process begins with reading the title of the book. Then going through each chapter of book. Reading first line of each chapter and heading in the book. If you are reading a page or are to skim a single chapter then basically just go through the headings, bold lines and first line of each paragraph. Then it ends with the reading of last paragraph or the concluding paragraph.
Scanning refers to read a particular part of the context that you were searching for ignoring all another irrelevant context. When reading a text to find a certain topic or line or answer etc, we skip all the unwanted and irrelevant stuff and read the desired lines. Before we scan a certain text, it is must to have read the text before or else at least have idea about what the text mainly contains. Scanning means to have an overall view of the text to find a specific detail. A person scanning a text is usually more attentive towards his readings. The process of scanning follows as; firstly stating the type of information you are in search of. Secondly, read the desired type of text for example, if you are looking for are date your eyes would catch the numbers in the text. A person has to go through the headings and some previous knowledge of the text to know that either the text is useful or not, either it contains desired information or not. So the knowledge and headings aids in a quick scanning. At the end, just selectively read the passage and skip the unwanted lines.
Skimming means to go through topics or main part of the context to get the basic idea about it whereas; Scanning refers to read a particular part of the context that you were searching for ignoring all another irrelevant context.
Previous knowledge about the text is essential to know before scanning but for skimming it is not important.
Skimming is used where people use to decide to read the complete text or not but scanning is used where people search for something or some part of the text.
In skimming reader only goes through the heading, titles or main part of the text. In scanning the reader goes through a part of text in detail to find out something in your mind.
Skimming and scanning are both types of reading. Skimming refers to read in order to get main concept of the text and scanning is the type of reading where an information is being searched in the text and in order to read the desired portion, remaining is just ignored.


I blame NOBODY for whatever's wrong in my life.

There is always someone or something that "is" to blame for the ills of this country and that is just a fact. I would hardly say that is making an excuse. The guilty just don't want to own up to that fact.
Wait, Republicans care about the Constitution or the law?
The first Republican administration to take control of the White House goes right up there in violating the Constitution. Under Lincoln's administration you had the creation of an income tax, contrary to Constitutional protocol. It is Lincoln that disallowed the sovereign free states of the South to peacefully leave the Union; and it goes without saying no declaration of war was ever issued. His administration implemented a draft that lead to widespread riots. Greenbacks, fiat currency, were issued his administration. Worst of all he suspended the right to trial in several regions.
The Democrat's aren't much better. Wilson and FDR's administrations committed just as many atrocities. Republican administrations are hardly defenders of the Constitution though. Both major parties use the Constitution selectively and are quick to throw it out the window when it doesn't serve it's purpose. The Constitution has many great ideas, and a few bad ones, but for all intents it is a paper whose will has little bearing in what is done by the Federal Government. It is depressing that people believe it means anything when it was long ago stabbed and raped.
Both sides have their share of crooks, which is why I don't get involved in these left/right spats. We need to clean house, period. If they were doing their jobs, we wouldn't be in this mess. While their left/right faithful claw at each other online, they're enjoying each other's company over dinner and drinks, laughing all the way to the bank. I witness it on a regular basis.
If the country voluntarily split liberal and conservative, geographically-speaking, where do you think the criminals would choose to go, Liberalville or Conservativeville? How about the murderers on Death Row? Where do you think the drug addicts would choose to go? Where do you think the homeless would choose to go? Where do you think everyone on welfare and foodstamps would choose to go?
Which new country stands a better chance of being invaded? The one that refuses to fight, doesn't allow guns and cuts their defense budget?
Better start working longer hours. With all of the conservatives gone, somebody is going to have to pay for all of those freebie programs.
What does any of that have to do with my original inquiry?
I ask again, what are the political affiliations of Prisoners currently in prison?
Why are all RWNJ's taking oil kickbacks and why do they hate black people? Oh wait, am I generalizing? Apparently the Op thinks all people of a party are the same... Maybe you should educate yourself.
Why do RWNJs insist on blaming the "other side" for everything that's wrong in their lives?
Well they can't blame the Bush administration can they? That's Obama's mantra.
Oh my, that's pretty much in the same line of thinking as poster carterstamp.
You raise a valid point, but history has many examples of natons usually regarded as tested democraces occasionally lapsing when their survival hung in the balance.
What disturbs me at present, however, is the near-complete absence of any original or independent thinking on the part of the three most recent Democratic appointees to the Sujpreme Court. Justices Warren, White, Stevens and Scalia all displayed the ability to think differently from the Adminstration that appointed them --- but nary a peep from the Demo-clones.

I actually vote Democrat most of the time, though I don't vote a straight party ticket EVER (voted Obama in '08 but also for Pete Sessions for Congress).
I don't consider myself lawless OR non law-abiding.
There are plenty of left-leaning voters out there who are sympathetic to the anti-illegal position, whether they identify as Democrats or not...attacking them isn't going to do us any favors. This is an issue that crosses party lines, let's please try to bear that in mind.

This turn-of-the-century New Hudson is graced with a fascinating handlebar set, featuring a combination of brake levers – inverted for the rear and thumb lever for the front – that was only used by the cycle trade for a few years until the use of roller levers was standardised across the industry. This typifies an evolutionary bridge in cycle design between the old safety bike 'dinosaurs' and the new machines that, essentially remained unchanged from 1903 to the present day.
In the 1890s, with bicycles still a novelty, eager riders were willing to tolerate various inconveniences such as a lack of brakes. But, by 1898, freewheel hubs came into general usage so riders could no longer stop their bicycles using their fixed wheels. Every company now had to add a front brake, which was, at first, a 'paddle brake' which pressed directly onto the front wheel.
Unfortunately for the cycle trade, the end of the 19th century coincided with the end of the first boom in cycle sales and production. It was left to the larger, more successful manufacturers to develop new braking systems for bicycles. Of course, most of these companies had their eyes on the new engines being developed for bicycles – 'motor bicycles' as they were known – so developing an efficient braking system was of paramount importance. Within just a few years, cycle brakes evolved into the systems that are essentially still in use today.
In 1900, the major manufacturers introduced, for the first time, inverted lever brakes with either a rod linkage or Bowden cable to the rear wheel. For the 1900 and 1901 season, bicycles from the top companies used an inverted lever on the left side for the rear brake – officially described as a 'Hand Applied' (Inverted Lever) Rear Rim Brake – combined with a pull-up 'thumb lever' on the right for the front brake. Some front brakes were of the older paddle style, but innovative companies now introduced the latest brake invention …a front rim brake.
The 'Thumb Lever Front Rim Brake' on this bicycle was a short-lived innovation as, by 1902, roller levers were generally in use in the cycle trade.
This beautiful – and very rare – machine was previously owned by the New Hudson marque specialist, and has been dry-stored since the late 1970s awaiting further restoration. It is fully functional as it is. Completing its restoration would require a set of mudguards and the rear wheel, currently a 28″, should be replaced with a 26″. New tyres should also be fitted before it is used regularly. Some of the original paintwork and lining still exists, but other parts have been painted over to prevent further rust. So cosmetically it can be left in its unrestored state or repainted.
I do not have a 1901 catalogue, only the 1900 issue which does not illustrate this handlebar/ brake combination.

UNITED NATIONS, June 3 — When the UN's envoy in Somalia Nicholas Kay took questions via Twitter on June 3, Inner City Press asked him what the UN is doing to preserve the ability to send remittances to Somalia, as well as questions about Burundian "peacekeepers" and Somaliland.
Inner City Press notes the cut-offs of remittances not only by Barclays Bank in the UK and Merchants Bank of California and new First American Bank in the US, but also Westpac, which is a member of the UN Global Compact. Should it be?
There are photographs of Burundian "peacekeepers" returned to shoot live fire at protesters, and another being referred for a D-1 post in Herve Ladsous's mission in Mali, MINUSMA. We'll have more on this.
This didn't fit in a tweet, but it should be answered. Watch this site.
Back on May 9 when the UN's outgoing humanitarian coordinator for Somalia Philippe Lazzarini held a press conference at the UN in New York, Inner City Press asked him about the impact of money transfer and remittance being cut off, about the future of the Dadaab refugee camp in Kenya — and about Puntland and Somaliland, where people fleeing Yemen are landing.

Lazzarini said that remittances have been cut from the UK, US, Australia and more recently Kenya; the latter country might reinstate some of the money transfer companies, he said. Returns to Somalia from Dadaab should be voluntary.
In response to Inner City Press' question about the involvement of some parts of the UN, and of the International Organization for Migration in screening refugees including for "counter-terrorism," Lazzarini said that the government of Somalia is concerned about returnees who might have joined certain groups while in Yemen. Can you say, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula? There is more transparency needed, however, particularly from IOM.
Lazzarini has previously answered Inner City Press about Somaliland's airspace. On May 8 when Inner City Press asked about the UN's dealings with Somaliland and Puntland, he said it is a big topic, but concretely the deadly attack on UNICEF in Puntland means one can no longer say Puntland more safe than, say, Mogadishu. But what about Somaliland? We will have more on this.
Lazzarini is headed next to Lebanon; we'll continue to cover his and the UN's work there, and wish him luck.

Why are GC% per base important in quality control of reads?
Question: Why are GC% per base important in quality control of reads?
Looking at the GC per base position, I can see that the GC% per base position decreases. So what can I conclude from this? Thank you in advance!
Looks like it is just biased because of the read length. After 24bp the number of read is decreasing, as the GC%.
I also believe that there is a rule that you should mention that it is about a school assignment. Maybe a moderator can confirm that.
In your case it can be a poly-A tail or something, did you trim of the primers/adapters and everything after the primers/adapters? Or will this still look like this after quality trimming? Are all the reads the same length?
I think you mostly use GC-content as a quality check if you compare it with the GC-content of a reference. So you expect that a certain species or chromosoom has a certain "specific" GC%. If you expect 40% on chromosoom x and it is 75% something is off.
Yeah they look like this after quality trimming, so the lengths varies a lot. So I can assume they could be poly-A tail?
You could scan/trim for polyA and see if the length reduces even further.
No you can not assume they could be poly-A tail. That's something you can see in de sequences. But if it are not poly-A tails it does not mean your data is wrong. You just have this result because the differences in length.
Need help using Shrimp2 on paired end color-space SOLiD data.
how to make separate scatter graphs for separate groups with same format in R?
How should I construct this contrast?

Kate Winslet heads to Mexico after announcing separation from husband Sam
March 16, 2010 - 12:12 GMT hellomagazine.com The Oscar winner and her children have headed on holiday following the revelation her marriage is over
Theirs was widely considered to be one of Hollywood's strongest marriages.
So the announcement on Monday that Kate Winslet and her director husband Sam Mendes have decided to separate came as a big shock to many people.
In an apparent move to escape media attention, the British actress has jetted to Mexico with her two children, nine-year-old Mia and son Joe, who is six.
Pictures of Kate and her kids have emerged enjoying a ride on a speedboat, while Sam, who directed his wife in 2008 drama Revolutionary Road, is believed to be staying in New York.
Last week, the 34-year-old beauty was pictured attending the Academy Awards on her own, an appearance in keeping with the couple's revelation their marriage in fact ended earlier this year.
Kate and 44-year-old Sam – both born in Reading - wed in a private, low-key ceremony in the Caribbean in May 2003.
For Oscar-winner Kate, it was her second time down the aisle; she was also married to Jim Threapleton, with whom she had her daughter, from 1998 until 2001.
Friends of the couple have echoed the official statement released by the couple, saying that the "split is amicable and is by mutual agreement."
The pair had not been seen in public together since attending Wimbledon last summer, and the actress said Sam was at home "babysitting" when she attended the 2010 Baftas and Academy Awards alone.
Kate had taken the last 12 months off following her success with The Reader to spend time with her family, and a source told the Daily Mail that she is devastated by the spilt.
Last year, Kate won a Golden Globe for her work in Revolutionary Road, which saw her reunited with Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio.
In her acceptance speech she thanked her husband for pushing her so hard, saying: "Thank you for directing this film, babe, and thank you for killing us every single day and really enjoying us actually being in such horrific pain."
"But I can honestly say with my hand on my heart that I loved every second of working with you and it's made me love you more."

The third installment if feisty heroine Oksa Pollock's exciting adventures has just been released in paperback and today I am delighted to welcome the French authors of this Harry Potter-esque, Anne Plichota and Cendrine Wolf, to Library Mice to talk bout their favourite children's books.
Anne: This great classic was my first encounter with fantasy literature. I loved the idea of going through a looking glass, and it has always stayed with me since. Over the years, I came to appreciate more of the story than its magical aspects. Going beyond appearances, discovering what is hiding beneath the mask that life forces us to wear at times… I find the possibility of other worlds where things take on new dimensions such a fascinating prospect !Among the numerous illustrated editions available, my favourite one is by Italian illustrator Stefano Bessoni.
Anne : The series enchanted me with its sense of humour and abundance of imagination. I had a lot of fun reading it, and for me the entertaining aspect of reading is an important part of the experience. Molly is unique and all the characters are somewhat odd. The plot is riotous and the dog called Petula (a Pug, just like Cendrine's dog which is called Georgette !) is larger than life ! The story really is a bit insane and bubbling with ideas. It's fantastic!
Cendrine & Anne : Coraline is a scary and mesmerizing tale. The story is told through an external narrator who follows the wanderings of Coraline through the rooms of the house, her strange encounters with the neighbours, her conversations with someone she calls 'the other mother'. The book toys with the thin frontier between illusion and reality, immersing the reader in a disturbing dreamlike world. Inspired by the adventures of Alice in Wonderland, Coraline is in the end quite a simple story about a girl who learns to overcome her own fears. It's dark and distressing, but also very gripping!
Cendrine: I love the central idea of Philip Pullman's universe—in the heroine Lyra's world every child is born with a shapeshifting animal companion, which changes according to their mood, and eventually settles on one animal form as they reach maturity and discover their true identity. It's a wonderful notion that forms the basis for an amazing, unforgettable adventure, moving between worlds and showcasing the incredible writing talent of Philip Pullman. Written for children, it can be enjoyed by everyone, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the fantasy genre!
Harold drifts away from the life that his detached mother prescribed for him for him, as he develops a relationship with septuagenarian Maude.
Cendrine: From a young age I've been fascinated by twisted, dark novels, and that hasn't changed with time! The main character of this black comic book, which is based on a film. is a young man, Harold, who is obsessed with death—he drives around in a hearse and stages elaborate faked suicides. His life changes when he meets Maude (fifty years older than him!) who teaches him to live life to the full. It's an extremely strange, funny and touching love story!
On the Midwinter Day that is his eleventh birthday, Will Stanton discovers a special gift — at once, he is plunged into a quest for the six magical Signs that will one day aid the Old Ones in the final battle between the Dark and the Light. And for the twelve days of Christmas, while the Dark is rising, life for Will is full of wonder, terror, and delight.
Cendrine: The first volume in a fantasy series that came out in the US in the Seventies—Will is about to celebrate his 11th birthday when he discovers that he is not like other children. A series of strange events let him know that things aren't right, and eventually he discovers he's on of the "Old Ones" with a responsibility to join a cosmic battle against the forces of the Dark. This is an absolutely fantastic, inspirational story, drawing heavily on English folklore.
Thank you so much Anne and Cendrine!

D.C. Law Library - § 47–1268. Federal determinations; suspension and termination of assessment.
↪ § 47–1268. Federal determinations; suspension and termination of assessment.
(a) If the federal government determines that an assessment imposed on nursing facilities pursuant to this chapter does not satisfy the requirements for federal financial participation set forth in section 1903(w) of the Social Security Act, approved July 30, 1965 (70 Stat. 349; 42 U.S.C. § 1396b(w)), monies collected pursuant to the assessment shall be refunded to the nursing facilities that paid the assessment and the assessment shall be null and void as of the effective date of the federal determination.
(b) An adverse determination under subsection (a) of this section with respect to an assessment imposed on one or more, but not all nursing facilities pursuant to this chapter shall not affect the validity, amount, applicable rate, or any other terms of an assessment on other nursing facilities imposed by this chapter. An adverse determination with respect to all assessments imposed by this chapter shall be governed by subsection (a) of this section.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if the federal government determines that any exclusions from nursing facilities specified under this chapter would prevent an assessment imposed by this chapter from qualifying as a broad-based health care related tax, as that term is defined in section 1903(w)(3)(B) of the Social Security Act, approved July 30, 1965 (79 Stat. 349; 42 U.S.C. § 1396b(w)(3)(B)), the exclusions shall not be made.
(d) The assessment imposed under § 47-1263(a) shall not be due at the time required by this chapter, or by rules issued pursuant to § 47-1267, if the Department suspends or postpones regular Medicaid payment to nursing facilities beyond the regular monthly payment cycle, but shall be due when the regular monthly payment cycle resumes.
(B) In subsequent fiscal years, general funding levels for Medicaid rates for nursing facilities fall below the fiscal year 2005 level of funding, on a per-Medicaid-resident, per-day basis.
(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term "effect of reducing or adversely affecting the Medicaid rates" means the overall average Medicaid per diem rate for nursing facilities is decreased or the altered or amended Medicaid rates, on an overall average per diem basis, are less than they would have been if the case mix reimbursement methodology had not been changed.
(f) If the assessment imposed under § 47-1263(a) becomes null and void, for any reason, the Mayor may seek to amend the State Medicaid plan to adjust the case mix reimbursement methodology.
