On Friday night I had three hours of sleep. Not because the sprog was teething and I spent the night shovelling Calpol and camomile powder down her neck, but because I went out with a pal and had so many cocktails I thought I was 25 (and forgot there would be baby-related consequences).
Dinner turned to drinks, which turned to getting lost in a taxi and walking over a bridge to get to a club where they played rock in one room and 90s dance music in the other, and I thought shots were a BRILLIANT IDEA.
Him: Is it really 4am?
Me: Yes, but it's fine – I had SO MUCH FUN. But I'm so happy I'm married.
Him: Love you too. Night night.
Me: No, I really really love you. I love you!
Him: Yes, okay. Night night.
Me: I love you SO much!!!
Me: I really do! The single men in Dubai are awful! I'm so lucky! I love you! Give me a kiss?
Him: Good grief. Drink some water.
Fast forward to 7am. Husband goes out to walk the dogs. I'm left to zig-zag into the kitchen to make a bottle up and wake the child. It's all a bit foggy, but I think we just hung out in her play area (padded flooring and cushions – essential) watching Matthew Perry and Zac Ephron in 17 Again (crap film – bonus) and eating toast.
1. Anti-sickness tablets (Motilium is your friend).
3. Shake Shack. I'm not proud.
Was I expecting sympathy? No. Did I get it? Absolutely not. I was reminded repeatedly (and in public) of the above conversation, was poked to make me walk faster and told numerous times that I was being slow-witted. To be fair, I was.
We had a friend's little boy's first birthday party that afternoon, which sounds like hell with a hangover, but was actually spot on because a) there weren't many children there b) there was pizza c) we were home by 6pm – and I was in bed by 8pm.
Here's an idea: a hangover hotel. With childcare. And snacks. Parents can outsource the little ones for a few hours/a day and kick back in fresh sheets with movies on demand and room service. And maybe doctors are on hand with medication and IV fluids. And a psychologist is available to tell you that you didn't behave like a total wally and your friends still like you, to help get over the booze blues.
It's day two now, and I'm still feeling tired and emotionally delicate. I just want people to be nice to me and supply sweet potato fries. And be reassured that I wasn't a wally.
It's called the Jumeirah Beach Hotel circa 1999. God bless them.

Jimmy Fallon Almost Got Judd Apatow Arrested After a Candy Fight—And He's Still Mad
Jimmy Fallon and Judd Apatow almost got arrested the last time they saw each other because of a candy fight. Watch the duo relive the moment on The Tonight Show.

Note to self: Never get into a candy fight with Jimmy Fallon.
On Tuesday, Judd Apatow stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and revealed that his last appearance on the show didn't go according to plan.
"I remember it exactly because it was terrifying," the stand-up comedian began. "The show provides a car—I don't think to be nice, but just to make sure you're on time and you show up. And so, I'm leaving. I'm in the car, driving down, I guess, like, Fifth Avenue, and suddenly something hits me in the face. And it's a piece of candy."
Of course, the culprit was none other than the late night host. "And I look left and there's Jimmy in his car, like laughing at me," Judd continued. "And so then, I take a piece of candy—you know, we're going like 30 miles per hour down the street—and I, like, toss one at him. And then you toss one at me."

"And then, just as a joke, I took the whole basket of candy and just threw it against the car," the father of two continued. "And it just, like, hit like a machine gun."
Naturally, things escalated quickly. "And then a siren goes off," Judd recalled. "And the cops pull us over. And now it's like, scary. And then the cop comes up to my window first. And he's mad. He's like, 'What kind of animal are you?! Why would you litter in this beautiful city?! You're an animal. You sit there! You sit there, I'll be right back!"
Expecting Jimmy to receive the same reprimanding from the officer, the 40-Year-Old Virgin producer said he eagerly watched the two have an exchange. But much to his surprise, Jimmy is an excellent negotiator.
"And then, like, two minutes later, he comes back to my car and goes, 'Hey, everything's cool. Jimmy said he'd buy us some steaks!" Judd said.
Watch the duo relive the silly moment in the video above!

IAEA: N Korea appears to have resumed nuke reactor operation
The U.N. atomic agency says North Korea appears to have restarted the operation of its main nuclear reactor used to produce weapons fuels
By HYUNG-JIN KIM Associated Press
SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea appears to have restarted the operation of its main nuclear reactor used to produce weapons fuels, the U.N. atomic agency said, as the North openly threatens to enlarge its nuclear arsenal amid long-dormant nuclear diplomacy with the United States.
The annual report by the International Atomic Energy Agency refers to a 5-megawatt reactor at the North's main nuclear complex in Yongbyon, north of Pyongyang. The reactor produces plutonium, one of the two key ingredients used to build nuclear weapons along with highly enriched uranium.
"Since early July 2021, there have been indications, including the discharge of cooling water, consistent with the operation of the reactor," said the IAEA report dated Friday.
The report said there were indications of the operation of Yonbyon's radiochemical laboratory from mid-February to early July this year. It said this period of operation is consistent with previous reprocessing campaigns announced by North Korea of irradiated fuel discharged from the reactor. The laboratory is a facility where plutonium is extracted by reprocessing spent fuel rods removed from reactors.
"(North Korea's) nuclear activities continue to be a cause for serious concern. Furthermore, the new indications of the operation of the 5-megawatt reactor and the radiochemical laboratory are deeply troubling," the IAEA said.
The IAEA has not had access to Yongbyon or other locations in North Korea since the country kicked out IAEA inspectors in 2009. The agency said it uses satellite imagery and open source information to monitor developments in North Korea's nuclear program.
The Yongbyon complex also produces highly enriched uranium, the other key nuclear fuel. The IAEA report said "there were indications, for a period of time, that the reported centrifuge enrichment facility was not in operation" though regular vehicular movements were observed.
The complex, which North Korea calls "the heart" of its nuclear program and research, has been at the center of international concerns for decades. It's not clear exactly how much weapons-grade plutonium or highly enriched uranium has been produced at Yonbyong and where North Korea stores it.
In early 2019, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un offered to dismantle the entire complex if he won extensive sanctions relief during a summit with then-President Donald Trump. But the Americans rejected Kim's offer because it would only be a partial surrender of his nuclear capability.
North Korea is believed to be running multiple other covet uranium enrichment facilities. According to a South Korean estimate in 2018, North Korea might already have manufactured 20-60 nuclear weapons as well.
In recent months, North Korea has warned it would expand its nuclear program if the United States doesn't withdraw its "hostile" policy on the North, in an apparent reference to U.S.-led sanctions and regular U.S.-South Korean military drills. Earlier this month, Kim's powerful sister, Kim Yo Jong, said North Korea would bolster "absolute deterrence" to cope with intensifying U.S. threats.
Lee Jong-joo, spokesperson of South Korea's Unification Ministry, said Monday that South Korea was closely monitoring North Korea's nuclear and missile activities along with the United States. But she declined to comment on whether Seoul was seeing signs that the North was reactivating its nuclear facilities.

The Party of Reason (Partei der Vernunft - PDV) is a libertarian political party in Germany founded in 2009 by the journalist and author Oliver Janich. The party's policies are based on the Austrian School of economics and it campaigns for a minimal state, free markets, decentralization of political power and subsidiarity. It rejects nationalism, racism and any kind of anti-democratic politics, whether from left or right.
I applaud the PDV for crafting an outstanding manifesto for liberty. It calls for the rule of law; sound money; low taxes; and a noninterventionist defense policy. These principles apply to any free society, and they are the principles that libertarians must fight for around the world.
Dr. Walter Block, Professor at Loyola University, New Orleans; and Senior Fellow of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, USA: "I like the manifesto very much. I support it enthusiastically."
Dr. Hans-Hermann Hoppe, Professor Emeritus at the University of Nevada; President of the Property and Freedom Society; and Distinguished Fellow at the Ludwig von Mises Institute, USA: "I hope the Party of Reason and my friend Ron Paul in the United States are very successful. That would be very fortunate for Germany and the mindset that prevails there."
Dr. Jörg Guido Hülsmann, Professor at the University of Angers, France; Senior Fellow of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, USA; Vice President of the Property and Freedom Society; and Advisor of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Germany: "The manifesto of the Party of Reason is outstanding. It is bold, visionary, and radical in the best sense of the word. It provides hope to see that there are people in Germany who don't want to simply continue applying short-term patches to the problems, which ultimately pushes us ever deeper into the abyss."
Dr. Thorsten Polleit, Professor at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management; Chief Economist of Degussa Gold Dealership; President of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, Germany: "Convincing people of good and the right ideas will lead us to peace and prosperity. I wish the Party of Reason much success and staying power in this endeavor.

Kids express their knowledge of terms through competition in Pictionary.
Pictionary, the picture-based word game, is an excellent way for students to display their knowledge. While the rules must be altered slightly to work in the classroom, Pictionary provides students the opportunity to creatively express vocabulary terms they have learned. Depending on the age group and artistic skill, you can increase the challenge for students. Learning to express themselves in picture form utilizes a different part of the brain allowing students to synthesize information.
Generate a list of terms students know. Choose vocabulary words that will be a challenge to express in picture form.
Explain the rules of Pictionary to students. Classroom Pictionary rules state that you select one term from the vocabulary list and show it to one player from each team. The artists have 10 seconds to look at the word. When the time is up, the artists start drawing until a member of their team correctly guesses the term. The artists can only use images, no letters or words.
Divide the class into two teams. Each team elects one person to draw for their team. Team members shout out guesses.
Start the first round. Artists draw the term on the whiteboard so all team members can see. As the moderator, you need to listen for the correct term. That team with the correct guess wins one point.
Switch artists and repeat the process until all the vocabulary terms are used. The team with the most points at the end of the game is pronounced the winner.

In May 2017, after months of lobbying by campus safety groups, the Austin Police Department, Austin Energy and Austin Transportation Department (ATD) began studying lighting and pedestrian safety in West Campus. ATD pedestrian coordinator Joel Meyer said their consultant estimated a need for $580,000 in lighting improvements and more than a million dollars in installation costs.
Meyer said the study, which was presented during the monthly meeting of Austin's Public Safety Commission, found that 20 percent of lighting in West Campus is deficient. Meyer said these deficient lights include lights that are burned out, obstructed by trees or vandalized.
Allie Runas, an electrical and computer engineering senior, is working toward organizing a West Campus neighborhood association to advocate for improving issues impacting residents. Runas said she has noticed many dark places during her walks throughout West Campus and believes lighting additions are necessary for the area.
"Improving the lighting will not only improve personal safety for residents, but I also do feel strongly that it will improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety as well," Runas said.
Along with the six-month study, ATD also accepted public recommendations through in-person meetings and an online survey. Meyer said 80 percent of respondents to the survey said lighting in West Campus was not adequate for people walking at night.
William Lockett, Student Government city relations co-director, said while the cost is high, enhancing lighting is one of the best ways to boost safety in West Campus.
The finalized recommendations from the study will be sent in a few weeks to the Mayor and City Council to be considered for a vote, but a date for a vote has not been set.

Diameter: Managing the surge
Written by Mike Hibberd
At the Broadband World Forum event in Amsterdam in October, the same observation was made by two of the keynote speakers. Eelco Blok, CEO at Dutch incumbent operator KPN, and the European Commission's VP for the Digital Agenda Neelie Kroes both warned that Europe is being left behind in high speed broadband, mobile and fixed, because the region's operators lack scale.
Both speakers looked to the US and China as examples of markets where advanced broadband technologies are being deployed at pace, and both noted the benefits to the operators funding those deployments of huge scale in terms of addressable market. In Europe, Blok pointed out, there are around 150 mobile operators competing for a subscriber base of less than 750 million. This unfavourable ratio, he said, explained why so few European LTE deployments so far are "meaningful".
Scale is a word we're hearing a lot in relation to LTE; economic scale is needed to fund network deployment and the network itself must scale to cope with the soaring demand for mobile data. We're less used to hearing about the importance of scalability in the management of Diameter signalling traffic— but according to Doug Suriano, chief technical officer at Tekelec, it is an issue crucial to the success of LTE deployments.
Tekelec recently published its LTE Diameter Signalling Index, which it believes is the industry's first attempt to forecast the growth of Diameter signalling traffic in LTE networks. The firm expects Diameter messages per second (MPS) to grow at a CAGR of 252 per cent between 2011 and 2016, hitting almost 47 million MPS by the end of the forecast period. This growth rate, the firm says, is three times faster than the growth that mobile data traffic is expected to show over the same period.
As operators distance themselves from unlimited data plans and look to introduce true QoS distinction in their offerings, as well as contextual upgrades like application- or time-limited throughput boosts, the volume of signalling traffic is surging, Suriano says. Factor in the reality that the number of concurrent sessions per user is on the increase—with subscribers expected to become habitual multi-taskers across voice, video and browsing functions—and the scale of the burden starts to come into focus.
Policy and Online Charging functions will be the biggest contributors to Diameter signalling —"you won't set up an LTE session without applying some sort of policy to it," says Suriano. But more generally, the call flows in LTE involve a great leap in communication between different service elements, be they policy and charging systems, subscriber databases or devices and applications themselves.
Among the applications, VoLTE and video (especially with QoS) will prove the most demanding in terms of Diameter signalling, and operators are looking for ways to accommodate popular applications like Apple's Facetime video chat service on cellular networks. This requires a "robust architecture to cope with signalling and data traffic surges," Suriano suggests.
Compounding the problem is mobility itself. Policies remain active for long periods of time; hours or days, he points out. Session state has to be maintained as the subscriber moves around the network in order to support the policies being applied to the subscriber's usage.
The problem with Diameter, Suriano says, is that standardisation work at the IETF is still in the relatively early stages. Yet operators can ill-afford to postpone deployment as they wait for maturity, he adds, as these functions are the basis of mobile data traffic monetisation.
"The early pioneers didn't see the need to have a core Diameter signalling infrastructure at the beginning of their LTE deployments," Suriano explains. The expectation among operators and equipment vendors in the first wave of LTE deployment, he says, was that a separate Diameter control plane would not be needed until LTE networks were hitting ten or 20 million subscribers. "The common view was that a meshed architecture—the direct connections between each network element—could scale sufficiently. But they ran into scalability problems. The world went through the same thing with SS7 in the early stages, as well."
"We started to see signalling surges on networks with fewer subscribers. This was caused by the shift from unlimited to usage-based data plans which require more signalling communications as well as the usual growing pains when new software is introduced into complex networks."
It is the lot of the pioneer to trade painful learning against first-mover advantage.
"SS7 had the ability to handle congestion, handle traffic overload and throttle traffic built into the protocol," Suriano says. "Diameter, on the other hand, was designed to be a more extensible protocol and it lacks that kind of sophistication. The idea was that the IP network would handle a lot of these jobs on a 'best-effort' basis. Now everybody is realising that we have to make the Diameter protocol deterministic, like we did with SS7, because you cannot handle these kind of problems at the IP layer."
So how long does the industry have to wait for Diameter to mature? Suriano estimates that the technology is at the end of year two of a five-year development cycle. "The IETF has responded to this requirement and is leading standardisation to take Diameter to the next level of maturity where these kind of capabilities will be incorporated into the protocol."
But, he warns, it will take perhaps another six months for the IETF to get the specification done for the next version of Diameter and then maybe another year to get that specification implemented into the equipment vendors' product portfolios. Beyond that it may be another twelve months at least before the operators begin to deploy the new kit. So while the technology will stabilise in the next three years, he says, the industry as a whole will take a little longer to catch up. He reiterates his warning that operators should not wait for that process to happen before moving to a centralized Diameter signalling architecture.
"You have to start at version one to get to version two. If you wait for version two, you're going to miss out on the LTE opportunity," he says. "Operators need to work with vendors that are ahead of the game in building that functionality into their products, in advance of the standards body work."
Tekelec is working with many of the leading LTE vendors, he says, and its Diameter signalling customers are pushing the firm to deliver Diameter solutions that scale up to 100 million subscribers or more. "'Frantic' is a good word for how things are at the moment," Suriano says. "The customers are pushing very hard right now, and we're excited to be able to get this functionality into the network."

The stove design industry is changing fast. With a view to the future, members of the Stove Industry Alliance (SIA) are collaborating to utilise the latest technology to make wood burning stoves more economical, efficient and kinder to the planet than ever before.
The Ecodesign Ready scheme is an EU initiative to reduce harmful emissions all over Europe. Recent studies by KIWA GASTEC have found Ecodesign Ready stoves can offer a 90% reduction in particulates compared to an open fire and 80-94% compared to an old stove.
Currently it is not a requirement to have an Ecodesign Ready appliance but it will be by 2022. All stoves purchased before this date can still be legally installed and used after the 2022 deadline. The regulations are in place for sales after that date. Many people, concerned by the impact of their consumer choices on the environment, are choosing Ecodesign Ready appliances before the deadline.
Our best selling brand Ecosy+ is member of the SIA. Its very first Ecodesign Ready appliance, the Panoramic wood burning multi-fuel stove, has been launched years in advance of the 2022 deadline, showing the company's commitment to the industry and environment. Even more Ecodesign Ready wood burning stoves will follow in the late stages of 2018 and 2019.


Why Campus Placement Is Kind Of A Big Deal!
Imagine that you have come down to your home town for a holiday. You meet so many people – friends and distant relatives who all want to know what you have been upto. And then these questions pop up – "So where are you planning to work?" Or better "What are your future plans?"- these questions however repetitive and irritating still resonate in your mind and make you a nervous wreck. Do we really know our future?
Do all these professional degrees guarantee you a smooth career graph? The fact is that the parameters of this world are changing fast. Nothing is permanent and in this ever changing scenario nobody can guarantee you anything. So what should be our career strategy? We should be aware and alert of all the opportunities which come our way and make the most of it.
Campus placement is one of those opportunities which is catching up fast and has loads of advantages. The purpose of campus placement is to tap the talent pool at the entry level itself. In some colleges there are number of activities lined up along with placement cells for eg. pre placement seminars, workshops, career fair, counselling followed by the real fight of written tests, group discussions, interview rounds and finally the job offer.
For students it's their first taste of the professional world when they go through the recruitment process. Your aim is get the best job and the companies' aim to get the best candidates. It is thus important to find this sweet spot! The placement process facilitates mentoring between students, teachers, corporate people and some of their seniors. Each of them can provide a fresh perspective to your career plans.
The process however attractive it looks has its own complexities. The prime concern is the huge number of students involved and how to identify the talent among those. It is definitely a challenging and cumbersome task. We are called a 'in a hurry' generation who are always on the run (if you don't agree look at the rush at any Quick Service Restaurants where they always need a super fast order!). But even with our hurried attitude we can find our ways and fulfill our dreams if we follow a systematic and well thought approach.
To find a job is the first step to your professional life and if you find a great platform which helps you get better opportunities, why not make use of it? It's really important that you go to these placement camps with the same energy and positivity that you displayed on your first day at college.

/**
 * A word tokenizer that tokenizes English sentences using the conventions
 * used by the Penn Treebank. Most punctuation is split from adjoining words.
 * Verb contractions and the Anglo-Saxon genitive of nouns are split into their
 * component morphemes, and each morpheme is tagged separately. Examples
 * <ul>
 * <li> children's --> children 's
 * <li> parents' --> parents '
 * <li> won't --> wo n't
 * <li> can't -> ca n't
 * <li> weren't -> were n't
 * <li> cannot -> can not
 * <li> 'tisn't -> 't is n't
 * <li> 'tis -> 't is
 * <li> gonna --> gon na
 * <li> I'm --> I 'm
 * <li> he'll -> he 'll
 * </ul>
 * This tokenizer assumes that the text has already been segmented into
 * sentences. Any periods -- apart from those at the end of a string or before
 * newline -- are assumed to be part of the word they are attached to (e.g. for
 * abbreviations, etc), and are not separately tokenized.

Philippine Chargé d' Affaires Pete Delfin.
The Philippine Embassy in Bandar Seri Begawan, led by Chargé d' Affaires Pete Raymond V. Delfin, hosted the 1st ASEAN Friendship Bowling Game at the Grand Seria Bowling Complex, Seria, Brunei Darussalam.
The Friendship Bowling Game was participated by the Heads of Missions of the ASEAN Member Countries in Brunei Darussalam and representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs led by Deputy Permanent Secretary Pg Haji Saiful Rizal bin Pg Haji Razali.
The event aimed to further strengthen the existing cordial relations between the Philippines and Brunei as well as amongst all ASEAN Member Countries. In his message, Consul Delfin thanked all the participants for joining the bowling game and highlighted the significance of events such as this that foster camaraderie among the members of the ASEAN community.
A ceremonial roll off led by Deputy Permanent Secretary Pg Haji Saiful and the Heads of the ASEAN Missions officially commenced the friendly competition. There were a total of nineteen teams composed of four members from the different ASEAN Missions. The top prize for Men's Individual Player category went to His Excellency U Htin Lynn, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Union of Myanmar, while the Ladies Individual Player category was bagged by Ms. Nazlyn Binti Rosli, spouse of Mr. Khairul Azam Bin Bani of the Embassy of Malaysia. In the team category, the team led by Mr. Khairul Azam Bin Bani, Minister Counsellor of the Embassy of Malaysia and team members, Ms. Diane Myra Elomia (Philippines), Mr. Fatoni Solahudin Ambary (Indonesia), and Mr. Muhammad Nuh bin Kamaludin (Brunei Ministry of Foreign Affairs) won first place. The individual category winners received trophies and tokens, while each member of the winning teams received a medal and a token.
After the awarding ceremony, Consul Pete Delfin officially closed the event. In his message, he stated that the activity evidently reflected the close relations and friendly cooperation amongst the ASEAN Missions in Brunei Darussalam, which truly signifies the spirit of ASEAN as one community.

The first half- hour is thrilling, especially if you have never seen or cannot "recall" the original 1990 version with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sharon Stone. Not for lack of supreme effort Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel were unable to generate enough interest to illicit a modicum of empathy from the audience. Possibly, it was the condensed script (at its most loquacious, barely three pages), or the massive inundation of recent sci-fi films, or the placid predictability of the outcome.
Farrell is confused, confounded "Douglas Quaid", plagued by nightmares (neglected to mention it is 2084); huge memory chasms, working in a monotonous job, making mannequins of mass destruction. He goes to "rekall" (futuristic poetic license) to fill in recollection lacunas and perhaps create a new persona; during this process things go awry; Quaid is on the run, overcoming vicissitudes at the herculean level, until evil is felled and good prevails, etc.
The major anomaly of "Total Recall" was at the end of the twenty-first century cars function both vertically and horizontally; cell phones are embedded in one's hand; robotic officers are ubiquitous but the world resembles East Berlin of the 1950's; shells of gothic churches, barely an echo of past resplendence; clothes hung outside to dry, withering on sunless porches; wars have been fought, but the victors destroyed the "spoils"; gloom and detritus prevail; anyone would crave forgetting, recalling a more optimistic, edifying era, (circa 2012).
In conclusion, if one is avoiding pondering foot surgery, hip replacement or acupuncture "Total Recall" might cauterize the inevitable for a brief time; otherwise, you would be better served by reading Dostoevsky, Silva, or E. L. James.
excellent review and definitely recommended for those pondering foot surgery, etc. as a time filler and no brainer!!
That's my girl!!!!!!!!!!!! XO P.

I get it, that the "visible":[False,False,True] is wrong, but I don't find a solution.

For over 40 years, Aardman has entertained and charmed the world, creating memorable stories and timeless animated characters that have gone on to become household names – including Wallace and Gromit, Shaun the Sheep and Morph. But how did two teenagers experimenting with animation on an old kitchen table go on to create a world-class studio that conquered Hollywood?
This is an intimate, revealing and funny behind-the-scenes story of Aardman, told in their own words by co-founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton and featuring Nick Park. The colourful account follows Peter and David's extraordinary journey from their humble beginnings as penniless students, teaching themselves the craft of animation, and recounts the key moments that defined their careers and shaped Aardman into the British success story it is today.
KEY MOMENTS THAT SHAPED AARDMAN – their first professional commissions, developing iconic TV commercials, creating the most-played music video of all time and delivering a pitch to Hollywood legend Steven Spielberg.

I must confess: I've written almost 300,000 words of epic fantasy (three books) and never seen a dwarf's cavern, an elf's tree city, or a troll's rock cairn. Now this might lose me credibility with readers, but after being complimented for my world-building by an editor at an established publishing house, I was asked from where I derive my inspiration for world-building from a fellow writer who is struggling with this important aspect.
My non-fantasy novels, The Accidental Activist and A Gardener's Tale, were both situated in my native England, and my upcoming novel, Unwanted Heroes, is based here in San Francisco. I'm not sure if I chose these surroundings as much as absorbed what is around me into my stories. It is, I guess, what allows me to see elves in coffee shops.
I think the process is the same for me when I build my fantasy worlds. I am blessed to live surrounded by the natural beauty of California and its surrounding states, it is important to not only admire the majesty of the area but see it through the eyes of your protagonists. Three examples come to mind.
I have shared how my journey into the world of fantasy was prompted by my eldest son (then 11-years-old) complaining that I shouldn't be writing while on vacation. I challenged him to write something with me and make it a family activity (the desperate games we play…) and there under the watchful eyes of the redwoods, we began our journey.
It was easy to see our young heroes seeing these noble trees and the vines that hang in the forest where we were camping. They were ambushed as they passed a rock enclave, almost hidden by moss, that was a five minute bike ride from our tents.
On Monday, I will travel to an annual professional conference in St. Louis, where we have met for the past two years as well. To give us a break from the intensity of the conference, the organizers arranged a trip to a children's museum. The incredibly creative designers had thought to fill their vast basement with caves and caverns.
While my colleagues snuck off to a nearby bar, I walked through these caverns imagining what it was like to live as a dwarf underground. I'm not sure what my biggest mistake was: missing out on a social mixer or admitting to my colleagues why I had declined their offer.
Finally, this year we traveled to Crater Lake in Oregon. Jutting out from the deep blue waters is an island called Magicians Island. The audio visual told us that the name came because it reminded the explorer of a wizard's hat. I sat on the ridge overlooking the island, saw the steep grey rocks, the windswept trees, and the ospreys flying overhead.

The top 10 Jewish stories of 2022
Rising anti-Semitism was the No. 1 topic in the list of top 10 stories from JNS for the year. Pictured here, the University of California's Berkeley School of Law developed Jew-free zones demanded by students.
(JNS) - It's been a difficult decade. 2020 was the year of coronavirus-pandemic panic and the general collapse of established norms. This was compounded by the Black Lives Matter riots that set off a moral panic about race, with the mainstreaming of fringe ideas and intersectionality.
2021 was a little better, as the world gradually shook off its COVID paranoia. But it was notable mainly for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that has roiled American politics ever since, the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and the creation of an Israeli government that combined members of the right, the left an...


Fifth Harmony is actually 5-member American woman group created on the 2nd season of The X Factor in the year 2012. This group is from Florida, USA, and the members include Normani Hamilton, Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Dinah Jane Hansen, and Lauren Jauregui.
Fifth Harmony received Artist To Watch award at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2014. In the same year, Fifth Harmony had been labeled as the number 1 most "Influential" X-factor USA contestant by FoxWeekly. Their initial studio album, "Reflection" launched in January 2015, is going to number 5 on US Billboard 200. This album included the track Worth It that evolved into their greatest hit, peaking at number 12.
Fifth Harmony consists of 5 singers. Initially, the group's label was "LYLAS"; however, another band known as "The Lylas" reported that the show borrowed their name. After that, LYLAS altered their label to "1432" that was announced on the 1st live show in October 2012 when 1432 performed "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell had been critical of the brand new name, and Cowell recommended that the band is renamed once again. During the first live results show in November 2012, 1432 conducted "Skyscraper" sung by Demi Lovato. It was decided that the band would be renamed by the audiences on the web. The name picked by the general public was declared: "Fifth Harmony".

But this is only part of the story. Most printed texts lived very briefly, and then were gone for ever. About one in ten thousand 16th-century broadside ballads survives today. Where did printed pages go to die? Some were used for lining pie dishes; for lighting pipes; for wrapping vegetables at Bucklersbury Market, or drugs at the apothecary's, or (according to Henry Fitzgeffrey) 'to dry Tobacco in'. 'Great Iulius Commentaries lies and rots,' the poet and waterman John Taylor wrote, 'as good for nothing but stoppe mustard pots.' Sir William Cornwallis kept 'pamphlets and lying-stories and two-penny poets' in his privy, and many texts were 'pressed into general service', as Margaret Spufford put it in Small Books and Pleasant Histories (1981), as toilet paper. Books were pulled apart to serve in the binding and endpapers of later books, the pages of an unwanted Bible perhaps padding the spine of an unholy prose romance. A Booke of Common Prayer (1549) in Lambeth Palace Library has endpapers made from a broadside almanac of 1548; the Folger Shakespeare Library copy of The Tunnyng of Elynour Rummyng (1521), John Skelton's great poem of drunkenness, survives only because it was used as waste paper for the binding of another book. To read an early modern book was to confront the broken, recycled material remains of former texts, and the effect is of a kind of memory or haunting: of a book remembering its origins. Thomas Nashe imagined his printed pages being used to wrap expensive slippers ('velvet pantofles'), 'so they be not … mangy at the toes, like an ape about the mouth'. As Leah Price showed recently in How to Do Things with Books in Victorian Britain, we can do many things to books other than read them.
Today we're inclined to see such losses as unfortunate, even criminal, but early modern bibliophiles were quite happy for most texts to go the way of the pantofles. Thomas Bodley was careful to exclude 'idle books, & riffe raffes', including plays, from his library, and many commentators felt there were simply too many books: 'a vast Chaos and confusion', according to Robert Burton. 'The longest life of a man,' John Cotgrave lamented, 'is not sufficient to explore so much as the substance of them, which (in many) is but slender.' Thus careful reading was figured as a kind of profitable destruction: an act of discrimination that, recalling the Latin legere, plucked out the few worthy titles while leaving the rest (the chapbooks, the pamphlets, the bad plays) to the 'consuming looks' of fire (as Jonson put it), or the 'cankring Age' (Digges) of time. When Lucius Cary celebrated Jonson's 'exact' literary 'judgment', he suggested that had we his notes 'of what was best in Bookes', then we 'need not care though all the rest were lost'.
Three of Edward Collier's letter rack paintings, made between the late 1690s and 1702.
This ephemeral culture of print fascinated the Dutch-born, London-dwelling painter Edward Collier (c.1640-1710) and, in turn, his amiable, indefatigable celebrant, Dror Wahrman. The dominant subject of Collier's paintings is the letter rack, a simple arrangement of three horizontal leather straps, attached to a wall, holding in place a bustling miscellany of textual props: in one typical example there is an almanac; a folded newspaper; a dog-eared royal speech; a quill; a knife; a comb; pieces of ('slightly phallic') red and black sticks of wax, singed, it seems, just moments earlier; a blank notebook titled 'Memorye'; and a folded letter addressed to 'Mr E. Collier Painter att London'. The whole looks like a chaotic form of musical notation, with the straps as the stave. The texts are dated to the day, and the impression is of a sudden freezing of the writing that would stream past a literate Londoner every day: of cheap print, saved from the pie oven. The Dutch word for still life – stilleven, or 'immobile life' – catches this sense of a collection of objects whose mobility has been momentarily constrained. The props for writing – quill, wax and knife – suggest texts about to be written, just beyond the stalled temporality of Collier's painting.
Collier's letter rack paintings tend, now, to be tucked away in the corners of museums: no collection holds more than one. Wahrman chanced on his first in the Indianapolis Museum of Art ('I had lived for eight years just down the road before I happened upon it one spring afternoon shortly before closing time'); he's since tracked down seventy, and suggests a total output 'in the low hundreds'. The paintings grew out of a tradition of what would later be called trompe l'oeil, which fooled viewers into mistaking the image for the thing: Cornelis Gijsbrechts's The Reverse of a Framed Painting (c.1670), for example, or Parrhasius' painted curtain which Zeuxis, according to Pliny, could not resist trying to lift. (Pepys loved trompe l'oeils, as he loved all curious novelties: 'Even after I knew it was not board, but only the picture of a board,' he wrote in 1668 about a painting by Samuel van Hoogstraten, 'I could not remove my fancy.') Collier's paintings respond, also, to vanitas still lifes: paintings of gathered objects (jewels, musical instruments, globes, books) whose worldly splendour speaks of life's transience and the thinness of earthly success – although they do this in the form of a painting, yet another splendid, worldly object. The books and jewels in vanitas paintings are what they seem, but they are also more than they seem. There is a defiant quiddity to Collier's combs, quills and almanacs, and Wahrman's readings tease out the particularity of each; but these trivial single things seem also to be poised on the edge of allegory. We see them in both ways at once.
Collier conflates the traditions of trompe l'oeil and vanitas to produce a form appropriate to represent a late 17th-century culture of print. Wahrman – unable to resist scratching the presentist itch – calls this culture 'Print 2.0': a 'new media regime', characterised by 'the dynamism of fast circulation, the preoccupation with the moment, the instant ephemerality of publications just off the presses, the seriality of mass-produced pamphlets, the global network that undergirded a new economy of news'. In fact, speed and transience had even then long been traits of print. But Collier, Wahrman suggests, does more than record this culture: he delivers a sustained (but hidden) critique of a world in which 'documents fail to convey information with the certitude one might expect' and apparent truths crumble into error. Wahrman sees in Collier's paintings a series of 'coded messages': they constitute an 'intricate game' or 'puzzle' of 'message after hidden message' full of 'faux monograms' and 'impossible title pages', which collectively amount to an 'admonishing' of 'volatile, unreliable' print, and a warning to readers exhibiting an 'unreflecting confidence in … authorial claims'.
Wahrman's rather beguiling method is to place Collier's letter racks side by side and to track, with great precision, between them: a form of comparative looking no one in the 17th century would have undertaken. Inching between multiple images of a printed royal speech, or a newsbook, or a stamped postmark, he finds words spelled in different ways (Monday/Munday; Friday/Fryday; Majesty/Maiesty; Memory/Memorye). Dates are inconsistent. In one letter rack the word 'understanding' on an almanac title page is rendered 'und/derstanding': no accident, Wahrman claims, but a 'wink' which, together with other apparent slips of dating and orthography, cohere into Collier's 'carefully laid design', that is, a stark warning that 'every aspect of a title page that a reader takes for granted – the author's identity, the author's credentials, the date, the very words on the page – may be corrupted,' and that, as a result, we should 'proceed with extreme caution'.
Wahrman is certainly right that cheap print was a chaos of variants: but that is precisely the problem with his thesis. Such 'slips' were everywhere. According to Early English Books Online, 'Fryday' appears 613 times across 366 early modern texts. Collier's double-d 'undderstanding' may look like ludic subversion (a 'message-in-a-painted-bottle'), but the same spelling also appears in Richard Lucas's The duty of servants … together with prayers suited to each duty of 1685 ('Thus, am I poor in Spirit, contented in the lowest state, resign'd up to God both as to my undderstanding and my will'): hardly a playground of Borgesian wit.
In part the problem is one of genre. Wahrman wonders, rather longingly, how his story would look 'if this were an espionage tale', before showing us, sleuth-like, how the 'pieces all fell into place'. This isn't a spy story, or a whodunnit, yet he writes history in the form of a detective novel ('Coincidence?'; 'Herein lies the key'; 'One further step …'). He admires Dupin's 'brilliant ability', in 'The Purloined Letter', to 'think outside the box'. This has its pleasures, but it also pushes Wahrman into some unfortunate structural – and therefore conceptual – corners. To organise history through the prism of Edgar Allan Poe is to search, always, for a denouement; to think in terms of riddles; to occupy a world where coincidence marks its opposite, and where the things that are implausible are most likely to be true; where details are held back as narrator and reader walk through the mystery together before reaching the bright light of unambiguous solution.
There is a double irony here. First, Collier's supposed act of generosity in helping these regional artists is inverted by Wahrman, who takes their paintings and attributes them back to Collier. And second, the print culture which preoccupied Collier was (as Wahrman knows) largely uninterested in authorship as a variable of textual definition. Collier painted almanacs, newspapers, anonymous prints. But Wahrman uses biography and intention as his critical frame for talking about Collier's letter racks, and we feel the limits of the approach. 'So what was he trying to say?' Wahrman asks at several points: a strange and diminishing question to ask of a painting.
When Wahrman relaxes this stress on solving a mystery, things come into focus. One of Collier's abiding interests was mediation – the way content is necessarily bound up with form – and, in particular, the question of what happens when an image (of a king, for example) is mediated three or four times. It is in part why Collier seems to speak to our contemporary moment. His Trompe l'Oeil with Print of Charles I after van Dyck is an oil painting of a mezzotint print of part of van Dyck's 12-foot-high equestrian royal portrait. The print, torn on the left and generally looking a bit sad, is stuck to a wooden board by four wax seals (each of which also conveys a blurred but presumably regal head). This is less a triumphant royal icon than a shopping list held in place by fridge magnets.
In part these lines are about theatre: a teasing meta-reflection on what might happen to monarchy when kings are played by common actors. (Two generations later, Andrew Marvell described Charles I facing the executioner's blade as that 'royal actor' on a 'tragic scaffold', applauded by an audience with 'bloody hands'.) But perhaps Shakespeare – always serenely untroubled by anachronism – also had in mind, here, that other mode of 'vile participation', or becoming 'common-hackneyed': that is, monarchy conveyed in cheap print, which so fascinated Collier a century later. The two forms of royal dying that Henry's lines evoke – kindling and burning, and being 'daily swallowed by men's eyes' – are apt descriptions of what happened to most early modern texts: up in smoke, or read to death.

The historical link Harris omitted was that there were two distinct kinds of "busing," both controversial. There was the voluntary busing of special importance in southern rural areas where rides to and from school were indispensable. In the case of black children, in the days of compulsory segregation, busing was how "white" areas were traversed en route to Jim Crow racial separation. Senator Harris's busing experience was presumably a convenience — though in such cases any resulting segregation was called "de facto," meaning that it was incidental. Both systems had their rights and wrongs.
The busing Biden and others opposed (including Sen. Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut, who memorably accused judges of pursuing small schoolchildren as if by helicopter in pursuit of "racial balance") arose from a Supreme Court decision of the early 1970s known as Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg. It mandated desegregation by numbers and ratios even when it disrupted "neighborhood" elementary schools. It often entailed grotesque designs of involuntary cross-town transportation of schoolchildren. One nine-year-old boy in Greensboro was in six schools in seven years and he was far from unique.
If Biden objected he was one of many anxious parents torn between the rule of law and anxiety over 6-14 year olds roused for bus rides far from home in rush-hour traffic. Not even Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, who had signed the Swann opinion, grasped its drastic implications. We know that because he publicly chastised a Middle District judge here in NC who tried dutifully in the Forsyth County case to enforce the ruling.
Intellectual honesty on the part of Senator Harris would not have muddled two quite different varieties of 'busing" — one voluntary and one mandatory, the first not especially controversial, the second intensely so. But that would have blunted her political point, which was to woo the black vote in South Carolina. The habits of chronic mendacity current these days in Washington seem to be contagious.

Royal Gorge
by Allen, Paul (American, b. 1953)
Allen received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and Masters of Fine Arts degree from Fort Hays State University in Kansas in the late 1970s. He has been an instructor of art at State Fair Community College in Sedalia, Missouri, since 1981. His works have been in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and in Great Britain. His solo exhibitions include the Prasad Gallery in New Jersey; the Goddard Gallery on the campus of State Fair Community College in Missouri; and the Karl Oskar Gallery in Kansas City, Missouri. Allen was the recipient of one of the four top awards at the juried Missouri 50 exhibition at the Missouri State Fair in Sedalia, Missouri, in 1998. In the mid 1990s, Allen co-designed the Fine Arts Studios in the Stauffacher Center at State Fair Community College in Sedalia. Inspired by Peter Voulkos? groundbreaking developments where the platter was successfully established as art, Allen created his own series called the Horn Platter Series. He began this continuing series of platters in 1994 as a tribute to his teacher, Darrell McGinnis, and fellow ceramic artists Peter Voulkos and Jim Leedy. All three of these men had a profound effect on Allen?s thinking as an artist. In enlightening conversations with one another, Allen and Leedy discovered a kindred expressionistic spirit. This dynamic, untitled work by Allen reveals this spirit.
