Attorney Bill Stuart of Meissner Tierney Fisher & Nichols, a Milwaukee-based law firm discusses the role and importance of title endorsements for business owners when purchasing real estate or leasing a new facility in Wisconsin. Bill covers 5 key title endorsements for buyers to consider, Title Endorsements for Closely Held Businesses in Wisconsin, 2015
White Papers:
Every owner of a closely held business, at one point in time, is going to be involved in a real estate transaction in connection with their business. Whether it's a lease of a facility or the purchase of a vacant land or a building in connection with their business, at some point in time an owner of a closely held business will be involved in a real estate transaction. For those times when there's a purchase involved, that transaction will involve a title insurance policy as one of the documents that will be received in the transaction. A title insurance policy is nothing more than an insurance policy that ensures title to a property. It literally insures that there's no defect, lien or encumbrance against the property at the time of the sale., 5 Title Endorsements for Closely Held Business Owners in Wisconsin, Real Estate, 2016

I have one role which has Restrict search terms as index=abc $table="azuredignostics"
but I am not able to achieve what eval function need to be created.
As I am using OMS add-on so it has 1 source, 1 host and 1 sourcetype so in calculated fields * won't help.
Do not use this feature; it is easy to bypass so paper-thin as to be useless. The only true access-control is denying access to particular index values.
yes I can understand that there will be security issue I just wanted to understand How to bypass take access to all data using calculated fields ...as I was trying to create calculated fields to bypass access but unable to do so as I have only 1 host, source and sourcetype.
If the restriction requires a field, then create a calculated field that defines it; if it requires the field not to exist, create a calculated field that sets it to null(). Boom! Bypassed.
What's the best way to limit a role so it only has access to a dashboard? It has a lot of drilldowns.
How do I limit access to specific events in one index?
Is there a way to restrict app views based on specific users?
Why are my role-based search filters are not being applied?
Is it possible to assign roles to only have access to certain summary indexes?

The Seed Capital Units in FNA Fertilizer Limited Partnership (the "Limited Partnership") raised to date have created a very successful start to ProjectN. In fact, it has exceeded our expectations. The purpose of this letter is to provide you notice of (i) the imminent closing of the opportunity to subscribe for the current Seed Capital Units, (ii) the subsequent opening of an opportunity to subscribe for a new series of Seed Capital Units, and (iii) amendments to be made to the Limited Partnership Agreement primarily required to address these changes. These items are described in further detail in the remainder of this letter.
Effective December 31, 2012, subscriptions for the current Seed Capital Units in the Limited Partnership will close. The Seed Capital Units issued on and prior to that date will be reclassified as Series 1 Seed Capital Units. Seed Capital Units issued on and after January 1, 2013 will be classified as Series 2 Seed Capital Units. In order for a subscriber to receive Series 1 Seed Capital Units, the appropriate subscription form must be completed, executed and received by the General Partner by 5:00 PM (Central) on December 31, 2012, and all other subscription requirements met.
With one exception, the Series 2 Seed Capital Units will have the same attributes as the Series 1 Seed Capital Units. The exception is that the right to receive compensation in the event of the project not proceeding ahead as planned, which is a right currently carried by the Seed Capital Units, will not apply to the new Series 2 Seed Capital Units. The currently outstanding Seed Capital Units, once reclassified as Series 1 Seed Capital Units, will however continue to carry such right.
In accordance with section 3.8 The Limited Partnership Agreement for FNA Fertilizer Limited Partnership has been amended and restated to create the two series of Seed Capital Units. The Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement can be found at the ProjectN website at www.ProjectN.ca. Please read it carefully for a full understanding of all changes to be implemented, as not all are described specifically in this letter.
In particular, amendments have been made to Section 10.1(b) so that on a Winding-Up Event (as defined in the Agreement) Series 1 Seed Capital Units will continue to have a right to elect to receive a $600 AgraCity account credit or 1 year extension of the limited partner's FNA membership. These benefits are provided, respectively, by AgraCity and FNA through contractual arrangements with the Limited Partnership.
The separation of Series 1 and Series 2 Seed Capital Units is being made to recognize the higher risk the initial group of investors (approximately 1000+ in number) have taken in their opening investment in the Limited Partnership. Subsequent investors, or subsequent investment by the same investors, carry a lower risk and therefore will not maintain the same attributes. The ProjectN team extends their appreciation to all Limited Partners already holding Seed Capital Units (to be Series 1 Seed Capital Units). Their foresight and early support was vital to take ProjectN to the next phase in its development.
Please note that the subscription form relating to the existing Seed Capital Units will be removed from the ProjectN website at www.ProjectN.ca effective Dec. 20th, 2012. Subscriptions for Series 1 Seed Capital Units will however be accepted if received prior to 5:00PM (Central) on Dec. 31st, 2012. Please take into account the delay caused by the slower mail and courier service during holiday period in this respect.
Although Series 2 Seed Capital Units will not entitle their holders to the assured benefit of compensation in the event that the project does not proceed, with already more than 1,200 FNA members participating in the Limited Partnership and over 5000 Seed Capital Units purchased to date, we believe that the opportunity to become a stakeholder in ProjectN through the Series 2 Seed Capital Unit offering will continue to be a compelling investment opportunity, as such units will continue to carry all other benefits and attributes of the existing Seed Capital Units. Documentation relating to the Series 2 Seed Capital Units will be available for download from www.ProjectN.ca effective Jan. 2nd, 2013.
Thank you for your support of ProjectN!

And you thought Lisztomaniacs were just Victorian era groupies. Think again. Lisztomaniacs, are actually 8 very modern kids in a very modern Music House band. We interviewed the gang in March of this year.
Fun trivia fact: Four of the Lisztomaniacs are graduates of our popular summer camp program.
How did you guys come up with your band's name?
Evan Barnett: The way a band plays together and looks together.
Selena: We have lots of members. I think we might be the biggest Music House band.
Bodhi Gunananda: Coldplay because they are the best.
Trevor Zinkus: Megadeth (Dave Mustaine), because when he got kicked out of Metallica, he was the bad guy and made a new band and it was great.
Ian Gaynes: Home (musician, Randy Goffe). I like him because he inspires how I make music.
Sam Chandler: Jack White because he's been in so many bands and is really experienced and plays all instruments.
Selena: Bad Sons because their music is so diverse from song to song. One of the first bands that got me into alternative rock.
How would you describe Lisztomaniacs' style?
Bodhi: It helps me really learn every step of the process of making music.
Selena: It's taught me how to deal with others better and I'm constantly being exposed to music I wouldn't normally play.
Jordan Funk: It teaches you how to play real music, as opposed to just playing along with a song.
Ian: I prefer making my own music because I like being able to do whatever I want with it.
Selena: I agree. It's great to play other people's music, but your own stuff lets you tell your story.

Gastro? A cold? Does it really matter?
After four full days of frustration, tears, and vomiting, little L finally seems to be on the upswing. I'm not sure if it was a manifestation of the Norovirus going around, or some other cold, but at least it seems to be coming to an end. His highest fevers occurred on that Friday when we had to pick him up early from daycare, and his highest temp at home was only 100.6, which to this Dr. Mom equals pure relief. I was so scared for him. There is nothing worse than seeing your child look weak and tired and not being quite sure what to do. I don't want to overthink it or be overly worried; I've seen the truly sick children and I've known whether to rush them to the ER or not. But suddenly with my little one it has been different. What if there are crackles in the lungs which I just don't happen to hear? What if I'm not noticing that he's having a hard time breathing? What if I'm miscounting the diapers? So many things to give me fear and of course it makes me think of the questions I ask my patients: how many diapers are they making? Are they still consolable? Are there times when they are happy? Do things seem to be getting better or worse? They were such easy questions to ask, but when you have a child who looks very ill one minute and is playful and happy the next minute, the outlook muddies. At many instances, now as an attending I take one look at a child and hear a scary story and contemplate the emergency room, and then suddenly after taking a few more minutes and thinking more carefully I am able to take a step back, look at all the data, and realize that the child is not quite as sick as they initially appeared. At the same time looking at that data and that bigger picture can take me in the opposite direction, pushing me to urge a child to the emergency room. So this weekend has reminded me of many things: to continually empathize with my patients and families, who are only doing their best when bringing their sniffly sneezy children in to "busy" old me, and also to always teach families as much as I can about what I have been taught. Because it is those multiple checks, those constant reassessments, which help me – as a doctor and as a parent – make a decision about what to do with a child. But for now I am thankful that L has seemingly overcome the worse. He made it through most of the day without vomiting and actually ate a little bit of Squash curry for dinner. He definitely looks like he's lost a pound or two over this weekend. Here's hoping he gains some of it back by his next Doctor's visit! And I hope that cough decides to abate completely by his birthday!

Q: Generating keyPressEvent in a code generated by pyQT Designer I Created a code using pyQt Designer in ui and changed it to py code.
Now i want to add some Keypress events to my this  i.e. say if i click on keyboard key with numeric 3 , my label should have text 3 on it or it just print "Hi"
I have already checked a lot of forums over internet and found that its best to reimplement keyPressEvent to use keyboard events .  I tried that however somehow i am not able to make it work in the code generated by pyQT designer .

        MainWindow.setStatusBar(self.statusbar)

        self.retranslateUi(MainWindow)
        QtCore.QMetaObject.connectSlotsByName(MainWindow)

    def retranslateUi(self, MainWindow):
        MainWindow.setWindowTitle(_translate("MainWindow", "MainWindow", None))
        self.textEdit.setText("I am a label")
        self.pushButton.setText(_translate("MainWindow", "PushButton", None))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    MainWindow = QtGui.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
    MainWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

I am new to this forum , it will be helpful if someone can help . I know this can be achieved by creating another class who inherits QMainWindow but i want to do this in the same code i.e in the code block generated by pyQT Designer .
Also please suggest If there is any way to do this without reimplementing keypressEvent
Thanks

A: There are two reasons why your code doesn't work.
The first is that you are defining keyPressEvent inside the setupUi method, hence it is completely invisible to the class.
Secondly because in the code:
if __name__ == "__main__":
    import sys
    app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
    MainWindow = QtGui.QMainWindow()
    ui = Ui_MainWindow()
    ui.setupUi(MainWindow)
    MainWindow.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

You are creating an instance of QMainWindow, which uses its own implementation of keyPressEvent. You should create a subclass of QMainWindow and reimplement the method there.

How to properly do this.

*

*Open the designer and create your mainwindow.

*compile the .ui file using pyuic:
$pyuic4 mainwindow.ui -o ui_mainwindow.py

*Create a new file where you'll write the subclass of the QMainWindow, mymainwindow.py. Do no modify ui_mainwindow.py. There is a big warning at the start of the file:

# WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost!

If you don't want to lose all your code when changing the UI then do not modify the file.

*Implement the keyPressEvent in the subclass:

from PyQt4 import QtGui

# import the UI from the generated file
from ui_mainwindow import Ui_MainWindow

# it's not stricly necessary to subclass Ui_MainWindow.
class MyMainWindow(QtGui.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MyMainWindow, self).__init__(parent)
        self.setupUi(self)
        # if you didn't subclass Ui_MainWindow simply do:
        # Ui_MainWindow().setupUi(self)

    def keyPressEvent(self, event):
        # implement the method here
        self.label.setText(self.label.text() + 'a')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QtGui.QApplication([])
    win = MyMainWindow()
    win.show()
    app.exec_()

*

*Finally run the code and note that every time you press a key an a is added to the text.

Q: BottomSheetDialog not rounding top corners correctly in Android I have a custom BottomSheetDialog and for its layout i created drawable which has top corners rounded rectangle. BottomSheetDialog layout background is a Linearlayout and i applied drawable to the layout.Top corners of the bottom sheet rounding correctly but there is a another layout bottom of the Linear Layout which is not rounded (square and white see below picture) and it is not in the layout.xml file. its like rounded rectangle on top of a square.I couldn't get rid of that square.

Below is my custom bottom sheet sample
public abstract class EmployeeBottomSheetDialog extends BottomSheetDialog {

    private Context context;
    private Activity activity;
    private RecyclerView employeeRecyclerView;
    private EditText searchEditText;
    private DataBase dataBase;
    private ArrayList<Employe> employeeList = new ArrayList<>();
    private ArrayList<Employe> employeeSelectedList = new ArrayList<>();
    private SelectEmployeeAdapter selectEmployeeAdapter;
    private ImageButton closeSearchImageButton;

    public EmployeeBottomSheetDialog(@NonNull Context context, List<Employe> selectedEmployeeList) {
        super(context,R.style.BottomSheetDialogStyle);
        this.context = context;
        this.activity = (Activity) context;
        if(!selectedEmployeeList.isEmpty()){
            employeeSelectedList.clear();
            employeeSelectedList.addAll(selectedEmployeeList);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.employee_bottom_sheet_dialog);
    }
}

Below is my style
 <style name="BottomSheetDialogStyle" parent="Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog">
        <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/between_two_views"/>

    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

Below is my rounded corner drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <corners android:topLeftRadius="20dp" android:topRightRadius="20dp"/>
    <solid android:color="@color/red" />
</shape>

A: To solve this, you need a transparent background color in your dialog style (BottomSheetDialogStyle):
<item name="android:colorBackground">@android:color/transparent</item>

A: For those looking for an easier way to implement rounded corners in all states, even EXPANDED state, then just define your BottomSheetDialog's background attribute to a shape drawable.
Here is the shape drawable:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="@color/sheet_gray"/>
    <corners android:radius="24dp" />
</shape>

And this is my BottomSheetDialog :
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/bs_bottomsheet"
        android:background="@drawable/bottom_sheet_b"
        app:behavior_hideable="false"
        app:behavior_peekHeight="40dp"
        app:layout_behavior="com.google.android.material.bottomsheet.BottomSheetBehavior">

This will solve all the headaches about:

*

*Setting a custom style and whatnot...

*Wondering about how to round the corners in EXPANDED state
etc...

A: I found out the answer after hours of searching. i only needed to use below style
  <style name="AppBottomSheetDialogTheme" parent="Theme.Design.Light.BottomSheetDialog">
        <item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>
        <item name="android:statusBarColor">@android:color/transparent</item>
        <item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">adjustResize</item>
        <item name="bottomSheetStyle">@style/AppModalStyle</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppModalStyle" parent="Widget.Design.BottomSheet.Modal">
        <item name="android:background">@drawable/bottom_sheet_background</item>
    </style>

A:  <style name="BottomSheetStyle" parent="Theme.Design.BottomSheetDialog">
    <item name="bottomSheetStyle">@style/Model</item>
</style>

<style name="Model" parent="Widget.Design.BottomNavigationView">
    <item name="background">@drawable/bottom_sheet_layout</item>
</style>


The dormakaba registration unit 90 04 has an innovative design with a classic glossy finish and is characterized by its slim, compact shape. The registration unit can be mounted directly on door frames made of metal, wood, or plastic. This means it fits discreetly and harmoniously into modern building structures. The device is water-tight and weather-proof, so it is well-suited for use outdoors.
Together with the control unit, the registration unit controls access to buildings and rooms, and is mounted away from the control unit. The installation of the control unit in the secured internal area means that the access control system is protected against tampering. The communication between the registration unit and the associated control unit is encrypted and therefore offers high security.
The registration unit is compatible with the most wide-ranging dormakaba control units, such as with the access manager 92 00 or the remote reader 91 15.
Employees identify themselves with their RFID badge on the registration unit; it is simple and easy to use.
An acoustic signal and an illuminating symbol indicate the access decision to the user.
Data communication is carried out via a secure protocol.
The RFID standards LEGIC prime and advant are supported, as well as MIFARE Classic and DESFire.
Installation is easy – two screws and one drill hole – the cable usually runs unnoticed in the door frame.
The registration unit can easily be integrated into all dormakaba systems.
The dormakaba registration unit 90 04 has been prepared for use with NFC-enabled devices.
The dormakaba registration unit 90 04 is also suitable for harsh environmental conditions because of its high protection class (IP66), and it can therefore be installed in protected outdoor areas.

Q: Node-Neo4j: How to check if cypherquery to delete node succeeded? I am using node-neo4j npm module, and using the db.cypherquery() call to call cypher queries from my node js application.  I am trying to delete a relationship between two nodes, and I would like to detect if the delete succeeded or failed.
Refer the code snippet below:
var cypherQuery = "MATCH (u1:User {id: '10'})-[r:LIKES]->(u2:User {id: '20'}) DELETE r;";
db.cypherQuery(cypherQuery, function(err, result){
            if(err) throw err; //does err indicate that delete failed, or something else (such as a syntax error in the cypher query)?

//do something based on whether delete succeeded or failed here

});

So, in the above, what is the best way to detect cases such as the below:
1) No matching relationship was found, so there is nothing to delete
2) Relationship was found and deleted successfully
3) Relationship was found but there was some other error in deleting it
4) There was a syntax error in the cypher script (I think this is detected via the err value)

A: You can do DELETE and RETURN at the same time so DELETE r RETURN COUNT(r) will delete the matched r, and return the number of r deleted (or RETURN r for the list of r deleted)

A: This is not well documented, but it is possible to access the number of nodes deleted like this:
result.summary.counters.nodesDeleted()

You'll see at my link that it references the StatementStatistics class, but that class isn't defined anywhere in the documentation (this seems like an omission, since it's a public API).  You can find the definition of that class in the source of ResultSummary (and it has counters for relationships and a bunch of other stuff, too).

The double murder of England's boy king Edward V and his younger brother Richard, Duke of York in 1483 has become one of histories most fascinating mysteries. Did the boys' uncle, the much-maligned Richard III, do his nephews in, or was it some other shadowy character from the British courts? Alison Weir, author of The Six Wives of Henry VIII and The Wars of the Roses , tries here to resolve once and for all the puzzle of The Princes in the Tower .
At the time of Richard III's ascension to the British throne and for some time thereafter, it was commonly believed that he was indeed the guiding hand behind the disappearance and presumed death of the two boys. Revisionist historians and proponents of Richard III have since cast doubt on Richard's responsibility for the murders, convinced that such accusations were merely propaganda perpetuated by the Tudors, who reigned in Richard III's wake. Weir's research, citing and verifying the validity of Thomas More's works against other veracious sources and putting as well to use modern resources, brings her to the conclusion that such pro-Richard revisionists are deluding themselves.
At the heart of this intriguing piece of historical detection is the struggle for power that characterized the Wars of the Roses. Several strong houses in England, locked in a fierce rivalry for the power that only holding the throne could grant, plotted and schemed to weaken their enemies and strengthen their own positions through all manner of courtly intrigue. Imprisonment, death sentences, and strategic forgivings were tools as useful as armies or a pinch of poison. Degrees of incest allowed by papal dispensation allowed near-scandals to become blessed unions. Conspiracies flourished, and deception ruled. Thus it is that Edward V and his younger brother take a back seat, in their tower cells and graves, to the wider conflict that nearly gave supreme power to the common Wydvilles, the family of Edward IV's queen and Edward V's mother.
Well-reasoned and fully documented, The Princes in the Tower will probably convince readers new to the debate of Richard III's culpability in the murder of the princes. Those who were already convinced that Richard was as innocent of murder as he was of having a hunched back will likely fail to be swayed even by Weir's convincing arguments. Regardless of where readers stand in the evil-uncle debate popularized by Shakespeare, they should find this five-hundred-year old whodunit a fascinating slice of fifteenth century power-grabbing life.

Q: Mobile Connect - Destination Data Extension I am trying to move data from a sales cloud data extension created with attributes in contact table to Mobile connect.
How do i create a destination Data extension with all the Mobile Connect fields ? What should be the table name ? Please help.

A: If I understood correctly, you have a data extension and you would like to replicate it in Mobile Connect?
If that's the case Mobli Connect doesn't use data extensions but lists instead.
You can create an empty list first and then set up an import between that list and the data extension and with automation studio run that import as often you need it. This will allow you to transfer the data between the data extension and list in Mobile Connect.
Please let me know if you need further help with the setup.

Report: "Dispelling the Myths Surrounding De-identification" (Anonymization can still work) by Lauren Weinstein (Lauren Buzz; 2011.06.16) – http://bit.ly/lbH5PE by Information and Privacy Commissioner of Canada [PDF]
"Recently, the value of de-identification of personal information as a tool to protect privacy has come into question. Repeated claims have been made regarding the ease of re-identification. We consider this to be most unfortunate because it leaves the mistaken impression that there is no point in attempting to de-identify personal information, especially in cases where de-identified information would be sufficient for subsequent use, as in the case of health research. The goal of this paper is to dispel this myth – the fear of re-identification is greatly overblown. As long as proper de-identification techniques, combined with re-identification risk measurement procedures, are used, de-identification remains a crucial tool in the protection of privacy."

Readers Digest tripple DVD compilation review.
At the time of release this was the best you could get in the DVD arena for Morecambe & Wise. Since the release of the full series though, this has been relegated to just a clips collection.
This 83 minute BBC compilation features really nice video and audio quality coupled with a great selection of sketches, songs and plays. Sadly let down by complete lack of any additional extras.

Dialogue: Two Asian American Fantasy Authors Talk Identity, Representation, and "Bad Role Models"
Guest Post by Sarah Kuhn and Paul Krueger
Paul Krueger and I met because we're part of a very exclusive club: Hapa Authors With Debut Urban Fantasy Novels Starring Asian American Protagonists Out Summer '16.
Paul wrote Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge, which chronicles the adventures of recent college grad Bailey Chen as she's inducted into a secret society of bartenders who fight demons using alcohol magic. And I wrote Heroine Complex, which is all about Evie Tanaka, the put-upon personal assistant to glamorous superheroine Aveda Jupiter (aka Annie Chang), and her epic battles against demonic cupcakes, supernatural karaoke stars, and her own feelings.
As we wrap up our debut summers -- and prepare to appear in a show featuring geeky Asian American writers at LA's second annual Comedy Comedy Festival -- Paul and I thought it would be fun to sit down and talk writing, representation, and how our Asian American identities play into our work.

"We're in a very exclusive club."
SARAH: So as we've discussed many times, we're in a very exclusive club. How did you feel when you found out this club existed?
PAUL: At first I was super excited, because two half-Asians meant we could have a club with one cool Asian person and one cool white person. Once it was explained to me that this isn't how science works, I was still excited, because it meant I wasn't alone. I'm pretty used to being the only Asian person in a room, let alone a sub-sub-sub-sub-genre, so having you around was a really nice change.
What about you? When you wrote Heroine Complex, did you expect there to be anyone you could split your spam musubi with?
SARAH: Well, if I'm choosing the room, I'm usually not the only Asian person -- I'm lucky enough to have multiple supportive circles of awesome Asian friends, like my Asian-dominated geek girl gang and the amazing community of artists I've met here in LA, so it's usually more like I'm scrambling to snatch up some spam musubi before everyone else has eaten it. That's one thing that made writing and selling the book so rewarding: I have so many friends who I feel like the book is really specifically for, if that makes sense.
But I didn't know I would meet someone who I would overlap with in so many specific ways and I think that's cool because 1) going through your debut novel release is a uniquely terrifying experience, so it's way better if you have someone who knows exactly what that's like and 2) I'd really love for there to be more POC protagonists in urban fantasy in general.
That brings up something that kind of ties back to the "only Asian in the room" thing -- I feel like a lot of times, when we're POC writing POC protags, there's this weird idea that's drummed into us that we're like Highlanders: there can be only one. Like, I definitely had some sweats when I was on submission that maybe someone else already had an Asian American superheroine novel on submission. And even though I don't think that's the only unique thing about my book, I could totally see people going, "Eh, but we already have an Asian book. So...?"
PAUL: I had those same sweats, but I also came to the conclusion you did: that while Last Call is an Asian American book, that's not all it is. I think that's important for us to remember whenever people tell us there can only be one Asian (or whatever) American at a time. Just like no one white person lives the universal white experience, no one Asian American lives the universal Asian American experience. Look at you and me. We're both half-Asians who grew up to have roughly the same broad idea: Asian American girls with cool superpowers, fighting otherworldly hell-beasts and navigating their own tricky social circles. And yet, look at the completely different places you and I each took it. Evie Tanaka and Bailey Chen are similar in a lot of ways, but they're also very different because of the experiences we each had that led up to us writing them. When you think about it that way, isn't that so cool?
SARAH: That is way cool! And definitely I think that's what we want to keep working toward: a real variety of Asian American stories in all sub-sub-sub-genres and POC protags everywhere. That said, I don't think a lot of decision-makers in various entertainment industries really see it the way we do. I know people who have gotten work rejected because a publisher "already had an Asian book." I know if something that doesn't center a straight, white guy fails -- like, say, a female-led superhero movie or an Asian-led sitcom -- the non-white-guy-ness of it gets blamed above all else and suddenly Asians are banned from leading sitcoms for like 15 years. So when we have those sweats, I also don't think it's crazy -- it's coming from a very real place. For me personally, it's been hard to work through. And the only way I can think of to counter that sort of thing is to keep talking about it and keep pushing for more stories to get out there, both as creators and consumers.
Is there anything else we can do to nip that thinking in the bud, both within ourselves and in the outside world?
PAUL: Within the outside world, I think the best thing to do is just support other Asian creators as much as you can. Shout about their work online, buy it when you can afford it, talk it up to anyone who'll listen to you. We're trendy right now, but publishing is an establishment that successfully ignored us for decades before finally admitting how cool we are. If they did it for that long, they can up and ignore us again tomorrow, just like that. And if that day ever comes, the best resource Asian American creators can hope to have is a community full of people like them that will always have their back.
And within ourselves: just try to love your Asian identity, and the ways it helps make you who you are. Know that you don't have to speak for the entire community, even if other people (especially those not in it) treat you like you are. And do your best to internalize that your story is worth telling because it's unique to you. Others will be able to relate to it, but it will always be yours first.
"You're not alone."
SARAH: Um, are we trendy? Are you sure about that? Because I think we could be way trendier. There could be way more Asian books!
Having a strong AsAm community has been one of the things that's really gotten me through the harder parts of this experience -- I've told this story before, but when I was really deep in the rep sweats (which are a slightly different kind of sweat than what we've been talking about, but they're adjacent), my friend Jenny Yang told me point blank: "You're not alone." I had so much evidence of that already, all these awesome people in my life, but it took her saying the words to me for it to really, really sink in.
PAUL: I didn't really have my "You're not alone" moment until the past year or so. After a lifetime of having basically no Asian friends, I got a whole bunch of great ones all at once. No one ever specifically said those words to me, but they were always saying it to me indirectly just by being around. Cheesy? Sure, but I'm a proud product of the American midwest, so that's par for the course.
Do you have a favorite example of Asian American rep done well? An iconic character you latched onto early?
SARAH: My favorite early rep is Margaret Cho just being herself. Watching her standup was the first time I saw an Asian American woman being bold, loud, sexy, and funny and centering herself as a real protagonist without asking anyone first. It was also the first time I saw someone talking honestly about the Asian American experience, what it means to exist in that space where you're Othered from two different perspectives.
PAUL: Growing up, I was all about Nico Minoru in Marvel's Runaways comic. She had a lot in common with me specifically, in that she was a nerd who was all up on monsters, the occult, and general spookiness. But she was also an aspirational character for me. In times of crisis, she was the one other members of the team would turn to for help. She was desired by her teammates, but never in a salacious or fetishistic way. And she knew how to make the color black really love her in a way I never could, no matter how many times I tried shopping at Hot Topic. And like you and Margaret Cho, I loved that she was portrayed as Asian American, not just Asian. I always got the impression if she were ever dropped in Tokyo, she'd be no better off at navigating than any of her non-Asian teammates. That was something I could really relate to.
Nico Minoru of Marvel's 'Runaways'
SARAH: One thing I really love about Nico is that she's a centered character who's allowed to be flawed -- which is always a tough thing when you start having characters from marginalized backgrounds taking center stage, because there's a kind of onus put on them to be "good role models" and a too perfect character is almost never very interesting. I always liked that she was allowed to make bad decisions, to have a shit ton of inner conflict and turmoil.
I want to talk about that on a couple of levels. First, we've both talked about it taking a while for us to center Asian characters in our work. For you, why was that?
PAUL: I went through a really long period of trying to dissociate myself from my Asian side. I was tired of being different, or Other, or whatever. I just wanted to be "normal." So I stopped watching anime, ate less rice and more white foods, and tried to avoid mentioning my Asian-ness at all. I went on like this for years, ashamed of stuff that was a very real part of me -- and more importantly, made me happy.
I didn't just wake up one day and come running back into Asian America's arms. I reintroduced myself to it, bit by bit. And the very last thing I came around on was including it in my work. It occurred to me to try it, but I was always afraid to go through with it. I was intimidated by the idea that I'd be seen as speaking for all of Asian America, instead of just myself. I was worried that people would assume characters that were nothing like me were autobiographical, just because of our shared heritage (which has happened, by the way). And of course, I was also worried that no one would relate to an Asian American story, as told by Paul Krueger. After all, hadn't all my problems come from feeling isolated by my weird hybrid identity?
What finally pushed me to create Bailey Chen was the fact that Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge never supposed to be my debut novel. It was supposed to just be some personal therapy for me that only a few friends would see. I didn't think it'd ever sell, so I didn't take the idea that it might into serious consideration. And by letting go of the pressures I'd put on myself for my first two manuscripts, I suddenly felt free to write an Asian American hero, plunk her down right in the center of the narrative, and make everything revolve around her for once.
And even then, I don't think I quite did it. I still wanted some level of distance to hide behind, which is why I made Bailey full Chinese American, instead of a Hapa Filipina. If I were to write Last Call today, I'd have probably made her at least full Filipina, if not half, because in those three years I've had more time to come to terms with my own specific identity.
That's something I actually really appreciate about you and Evie. Like you, Evie is half-Japanese. That's a part of your personal identity you were brave enough to put into your protag, and that takes a surprising amount of guts when you're seen as operating outside the parameters of "normal." Did you ever consider doing what I did? Find an identity adjacent to yours, and then write from that so you could still have that safety of distance?
SARAH: I'm so glad you came back to yourself (and also that you started eating rice again, because how the hell did you live without it?!) and one thing I think is really interesting is what you're saying about worrying that no one would relate to your story -- because within everyone's Asian American stories, as specific as they are, there seem to be these connective touchstones, which I'm sure people are finding in Last Call. I know I felt that when Bailey has to deal with the white Asianphile character who's basically trying to be more Asian than she is. We all know that guy.
My decision to make Evie pretty much my exact racial identity didn't really come from a "brave" place. When I wrote my novella, One Con Glory, I just assumed the main character was white because I had internalized the thinking that Asians couldn't lead stories unless the stories were all about being Asian. I'm mad that I had bought into that, but if you never see something, it's hard to believe it can be real. I also thought everyone else would think she was white -- even though it's never really specified -- because "white is the default" seems to be the usual assumption. But a lot of people actually assumed she was Asian -- because they assumed she was me. This seems to happen really, really often when you're a female writer writing in certain genres: people always assume your female protagonist is thinly veiled autobiography. No matter what you make that character, if she's a woman, you never seem to get that "safety of distance." So I was like, "I should just make this main character Hapa because everyone will think she's me anyway." But as I was writing it, I started feeling really empowered by that. It was this amazing feeling of seeing someone who looks like me and so many of my friends getting to do all the protagonist things and have all the adventures -- and that definitely came with amplified feelings of being extra vulnerable and exposed, but the exhilaration outweighed it. It just made me so happy.
But it did bring up something else as well, going back to the "flawed" thing with Nico: since there aren't thousands of Asian American superheroine books out there, I did have some anxieties about the ones I was presenting not being the best role models. Like, they make bad decisions, they don't always do the right thing, and they swear a lot. I love writing those kinds of characters and I love reading them, but I sometimes wondered if those were the kinds of characters Asian America needs right now. Did you have any of those worries?
PAUL: Oh man, I'm right there with you on the swearing. I actually had one of my beta readers come back to me and say I had too much of it in Last Call. My response was essentially, "You try preventing an imminent demonic apocalypse while barely staying alive, and see how long you can keep a civil tongue about you."
And I think that sums up my attitude towards the notion that the characters we make have to be role models. A white character in Bailey's situation would probably swear just as much, and it's likely they'd be given the unquestioning latitude to do so. So if characters like them can have that freedom, we unquestioningly deserve to have it, too. For me, it was about asserting that those things -- swearing, bad decision-making, selfishness -- were no one's exclusive territory to dance in. They're things that make us human, and to me deploying them in Bailey's story felt like a great way to break through the stereotype of Asian Americans as unemotional automatons that are good at homework and nothing else.
In this regard, I think Heroine Complex is particularly remarkable, in that you provide us with not one but three Asian American heroines, each flawed in unique and interesting ways. Was that by deliberate design, to combat the idea that there's this monolithic Asian American identity for us to live up to?
"Why call it an Asian American superhero book? Why not just a superhero book?"
SARAH: It's like my friend Christine Dinh always says: Asians can be assholes too!
I think having multiple AsAm heroines came from a place of wanting to center multiple women of color characters -- because so many times, if you get one in a big, fun superhero/fantasy story, that's all you get. I'm so sick of that. I wanted a story starring people who look like me and my friends. I love it when I find any work that features multiple WOC interacting with each other and some of my favorite parts to write in Heroine Complex were all the bonding and fighting moments between Evie, Aveda/Annie, and Evie's little sister Bea.
But this was another thing that I think took on more weight as I was writing it and did start to play into the idea you mentioned: combating the monolith. One Con Glory stars a geek girl protagonist, and when I wrote it, there weren't a ton of things out there with geek girl protagonists. While the response was mostly very positive, I got some negative responses from folks who were excited by the idea of a geek girl protag, then disappointed because she wasn't a geek girl protag they could relate to. I totally get that because I've been on the reader/consumer side of that equation so many times, where you finally get representation, but it's not quite what you want. And I think the answer to that is to have more representation -- all the geek girl protagonists! All the Asian American superheroines! So one character doesn't have to be all things to all people. I initially had thought of Heroine Complex as a series from just Evie's perspective, but when I started thinking of it as a series with multiple Asian American female protagonists, it was way more exciting to me.
This brings up another thing that's been interesting for me: I know some people are like, "Why call it an Asian American superhero book? Why not just a superhero book?" Personally, I find it empowering to call it an Asian American superhero book. Because even though it's not just about being Asian, I feel very proud of that piece of its identity. What about you, where do you position the Asianness when identifying or talking about Last Call?
PAUL: For purely mercenary reasons it's not the first thing I tend to mention, but it's almost always the second. I've just found that the quickest way to raise eyebrows is to lead with "alcohol magic," so I try to get that into the conversation as quickly as possible. If that piques their interest, then I feel like I have the freedom to pivot the conversation towards the book's Asian-ness. A spoonful of bourbon to help the medicine go down, you know?
I think part of that sugarcoating impulse comes from my own complicated feelings about being identified as an Asian American writer. I'm anxious about getting pigeonholed as a guy who only writes Asian Stuff. I like writing Asian Stuff, but I also want the freedom to write other things someday if the mood ever strikes me, and that can get tricky if people already have a strong preconceived notion of what you do. Yet at the same time, I'm also anxious about not representing the community with as much zeal and commitment as I could. And I'm even more anxious about accidentally contributing to problematic representation, despite my best efforts to avoid it. If I'm being honest, it's still something I'm working through with myself.
SARAH: I think these are issues we're all working through as creators of color and I think it's totally okay to be conflicted about them and to not have a set "stance" on every single thing. The whole thing is a process, right? To be honest, when it comes to "pigeonholing," I've worked my way to the opposite perspective, which is that if pigeonholing means someone wants to pay me for the rest of my life to write badass Asian American ladies, then please: pigeonhole me! It took me so long to come to a place where I felt like I could do that at all -- and beyond that, felt like someone would actually buy it -- that now I don't want to stop.
PAUL: I'm sure by now you've gotten a decent amount of feedback from Asian American readers about Heroine Complex. What's that been like?
SARAH: I've gotten really awesome feedback from Asian American readers, particularly geeky young women who love SF/F and romance and want to see stories where they get to have joy, fun, love -- which makes sense, because that's basically me. I know once you put a book out into the world, it's not just yours anymore and reader response and reviews aren't really for the author, but it still means a lot to me when I feel like I did what I set out to do and it resonates for people who aren't me. What about you, what's the feedback been like?
PAUL: Like you, some of my best feedback's come from Asian American readers who see themselves in my main character. I wrote my book about a frustrated, underemployed recession victim who's desperate to find some direction in her life. It's a pretty common experience in my generation, and I'm hardly the first millennial to fictionalize it. But what my Asian American readers have told me -- particularly the millennial ones -- is that they appreciate getting to be the face of that experience for once. That's about as high of praise as I can hope for, and every time someone tells me that, it makes it a little easier for me to deal with my own mixed (heh) feelings about who I am. And it definitely encourages me to keep writing about it.

Former work
Criticism of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Trunk was born on August 8, 1964, in Summit, New Jersey, United States. He grew up in Madison, New Jersey, where he attended Madison High School. As a teenager, Trunk became a fan of Kiss, Raspberries, and other bands including Aerosmith, Rush, UFO and Black Sabbath. During high school, he began to write reviews of records for school credit and soon found his passion in music.
Around 1986, Trunk became an employee of Megaforce Records which had signed both Metallica and Anthrax. He became vice president of the company at age 25. During that time, he earned executive producer credit on some works from bands like Anthrax, Raven, T.T. Quick, Manowar, Overkill, King's X, Prophet, Icon and Ace Frehley. In fact, Trunk was the main driving force behind reviving Ace Frehley's career, convincing Megaforce Records head Jon Zazula to sign Frehley to a solo deal.
Around 1997, WNEW FM was looking to become a more "heavy" station and move away from their classic rock playlist. Trunk was one of the first people hired for the new concept. He wanted to do a metal show for the station, and eventually Saturday Night Rocks was born. WNEW became a talk radio station, but Trunk's show was one of the few retained.
From late 1983 through 1994, Trunk became a fixture at WDHA, the station he grew up listening to. Over the 10 years he spent at DHA (all on a part-time basis), he hosted, produced, and programmed the stations popular metal show, in addition to doing regular airshifts, remote broadcasts, interviews, and promotions.
Trunk hosted Friday Night Rocks and Saturday Night Rocks for WNEW-FM in New York City until the radio station underwent a format change in 2003. He was also a regular disc jockey on Q104.3 before joining WNEW-FM and was a VJ who hosted the weekend episodes of Metal Mania on the cable television channel VH1 Classic.
He also hosted a weekly Saturday four-hour program on XM Radio's Ozzy's Boneyard Channel. Trunk was suspended after an interview with New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza in which Piazza was critical of XM Radio's programming on the Boneyard Channel. Trunk was not heard on XM again until late November 2006, when he appeared on the Ron and Fez show to announce his return to XM. He began hosting Eddie Trunk Live on the Boneyard beginning the first week in December 2006.
In May 2006, Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose made a surprise visit on Trunk's Q104.3 radio show. Rose walked in unexpectedly to Trunk's radio studio in New York and spent two and a half hours live on the air with Trunk and other guests.
As of 2012, Trunk's current work includes the nationally syndicated radio show, Eddie Trunk Rocks, which is recorded at the New York radio station, Q104.3 (WAXQ), on the FM frequency, and is syndicated by Radio KG. Trunk also hosts Trunk Nation on the Sirius XM Radio channel, Hair Nation (Channel 39) (formerly known as Eddie Trunk Live when Trunk was with The Boneyard station), and is a music host and interviewer for the MSG Network, a cable network based out of New York City. He hosts "The Eddie Trunk Podcast" on PodcastOne.
Trunk is also the host of That Metal Show, which aired weekly on VH1 Classic from 2008 to 2015. Eddie hosted the Hall of Heavy Metal History on January 18, 2017.
Trunk is outspoken in his contempt of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, calling it the "Hall of Shame". Trunk has blogged and commented over the open air on That Metal Show his disgust at the Hall for almost entirely ignoring heavy metal and hard rock, citing examples such as Def Leppard and Dio being passed over in favor of Madonna and ABBA. Trunk became a voting member of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015. As of January 2017, Trunk has somewhat backed away from his earlier criticism of the hall citing progress made in the enshrining of bands such as Rush, Kiss, Cheap Trick, Deep Purple, and Journey.

In the late nineteenth century, the brewing industry experienced sharp dissention from the Temperance Movement, whose adherents opposed drunkenness on moral grounds, and fiercely advocated outlawing all forms of alcoholic beverages. The movement gained so much support that in 1920, Congress passed the Eighteenth Amendment, banning the manufacture, sale, and transportation of intoxicating beverages, including beer. While some breweries survived Prohibition by switching to the manufacture of soft drinks or non-alcoholic beer, most brewing businesses failed and never re-opened after the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment in 1933.
Published by the United States Brewers' Association just four years before the passage of the Prohibition Amendment, this yearbook includes articles written by brewers arguing against the Temperance Movement's claims that consumption of alcohol leads to crime.
