Project Nemesis
A Kaiju Thriller
By: Jeremy Robinson
Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer
Series: Nemesis Saga, Book 1
Categories: Literature & Fiction, Horror
Project Maigo
With Project Nemesis, Jeremy Robinson introduced the world of popular fiction to Kaiju, a word that has become popularized by the movie Pacific Rim, and is associated with classic movie monsters such as Godzilla and Gamera. In the year since the release of Project Nemesis, the audiobook has become the best-selling original Kaiju novel of all time, and it is being featured in the video game Colossal Kaiju Combat: Fall of Nemesis. In Project Maigo, Robinson amps up the scale, the characters and the city-stomping action, treating listeners to a truly monstrous experience typically reserved for the big screen.

Totally engrossing story
By Sandra on 08-14-16
Jon Hudson, lead investigator for the Department of Homeland Security's Fusion Center-P, thinks his job is a joke. While other Fusion Centers focus on thwarting terrorist activity, Hudson's division is tasked with handling paranormal threats to national security, of which there have been zero during his years at the DHS. When yet another Sasquatch sighting leads to a research facility in the backwoods of Maine, disguised as an abandoned Nike missile site, Hudson's job becomes deadly serious.
Hudson and the local Sherriff, Ashley Collins, suddenly find themselves on the run from a ruthless ex-Special Forces security team, but the human threat is short-lived as something very much not-human destroys the facility and heads for civilization, leaving only a single clue behind-a name scrawled in blood-Nemesis. Working with his team at Fusion Center-P, Sherriff Collins and a surly helicopter pilot named Woodstock, Hudson pursues the creature known as Nemesis, attempts to uncover the corporate secrets behind its creation and accidental release, and tries to comprehend why several clues lead to a murdered little girl named Maigo.
But as the body-count explodes, along with the monster's size, it quickly becomes clear that nothing short of a full military response can slow Nemesis's progress. Coordinating with every branch of the U.S. military, Hudson simultaneously searches for clues about Nemesis's origins and motivations, and leads the counterattack that will hopefully stop the monster before it reaches Boston and its one million residents.
Witness the birth of a legend as Jeremy Robinson, bestselling author of SecondWorld and Ragnarok, combines the pacing of Matthew Reilly with the mystery of James Rollins and creates the first iconic American Kaiju* story since King Kong.
*Kaiju is Japanese for "strange beast." The genre includes classic monsters such as Godzilla, Gamera, Mothra, Rodan and King Ghidorah.

What listeners say about Project Nemesis
Kim Venatries
A Good Time
If you could sum up Project Nemesis in three words, what would they be?
Fun. Action-Packed. Entertaining.
The FBI main character. He made me laugh out loud. He doesn't wise-crack through out the book to the point of being annoying but he does have a sense of humor. He's also not uber-macho. Now the sheriff... she was macho enough for both of them.
Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer's other performances before? How does this one compare?
I don't think I've listened to Mr. Kafer before but he did a great job. He's the kind of reader that you don't really notice because he's doing such a good job.
You will really like this story if you're into sci-fi monsters. And if there's a sequel, I'm in!
Old ManParker
Holy Mother of Cthulhu!
What made the experience of listening to Project Nemesis the most enjoyable?
Great story. Great reader.
The monster - it was an ever changing terror and yet awesome creature.
Which character – as performed by Jeffrey Kafer – was your favorite?
The main hero is a Bruce Willis "everyman" type, read to perfection by Jeffrey Kafer.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I loved it! I was so happy that finally someone had written a good full length kaiju story. Bravo Jeremy Robinson!
I've waited for a book like this for years! It is (and will be) a Kaiju-Kulture classic! It's more than you think. It starts like an extremely delicious episode of "The X-Files", then it transforms into a graphic horror story with gruesome detail so fantastic & gory it touches a Japanese level of genre high-Art. Then, it changes again, which shows Jeremy has deeply researched (and I think loves) this subject material and shows all the required views of mankind's helplessness and political inability to actually deal with something as extraordinary as a real life "Godzilla". Just when you think Jeremy has said all he has to say about such a well known pop-culture icon as Godzilla, and may slip into parody, he steps it up - and a brings in ancient mythology and deeper meaning. The author also is savvy enough to turn around and look at the Kaiju (giant monster) genre itself a gives a knowing nod that we have watched Godzilla movies since the 1950's - yet, Jeremy tells his tale with a fierce freshness making it as exciting as it was the first time I sat in a matinee and watched "Destroy All Monsters". He fully understands the enigma that makes kaiju popular: they are huge frightening forces of horror and destruction, and at the same time are sympathetic emotional focus of the fulfillment of human destiny. Like Godzilla at his best, Nemesis is both a destroyer and also a force of fate. A god-monster that lays waste to cities, yet is avenging some great human sin. "Project Nemesis - a kaiju thriller" I hope this strange title means that Jeremy will write more Kaiju thrillers. Thanks you Mr. Robinson for the wonderful story, and thank you Jeffrey Kafer for the great reading! More please!
Solid, Pulpy Action.
Where does Project Nemesis rank among all the audiobooks you've listened to so far?
This was a solid and enjoyable book,fast paced and to the point. In an age of bloated hyperbole and forced exposition this moves briskly along. Not all books need to be "great" and finding a truly enjoyable book is a pleasure. I'd put this at the top of the list.
Sheriff Collins was my favorite character due to her never say die attitude and physical and mental toughness. Although not as fleshed out as the main character she's still given enough backstory to explain who she is and why she has the skills that she does.
What about Jeffrey Kafer's performance did you like?
Kafer's performance was fun and spirited. He seemed to inhabit the main character's skin very easily and delivered his first person narration more like an actor than a reader.
It was broken up almost like a movie serial so it had logical breaks that made it easy to return to without losing the whole plot. Due to how I need to listen to audiobooks I rarely have the chance to listen in one sitting and I appreciate books that don't require rewinding.
This is overall a lot of fun with a good heart without skimping on the brutal horror that a giant monster attack would cause. At the same time it is not pornographic in its depiction of this horror but instead uses it to show how brave the characters must be to continue to fight Nemesis.

Attack of the 790-Foot Woman
"The end is near. I hear a noise at the door, as of some immense slippery body lumbering against it. It shall not find me. God, that hand! The window! The window!" ― H.P. Lovecraft, Dagon
Dr. Ichiro Serizawa: The arrogance of men is thinking nature is in our control and not the other way around. Let them fight. Godzilla, 2014
Dr. Niko Tatopoulus: This thing is much too big to be some lost dinosaur.
Godzilla, 1998
"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."
Lovecraft would have loved this. Nemesis is Godzilla, Cthulhu, and "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman" all rolled into one – Destroyer God and sad victim not only of fate but of a rich, obsessive, vicious man. "Nemesis" is a monster, true. A monster created by science, at the behest of a human even more monstrous than Nemesis herself.
Of course, back when King Kong and Godzilla came to life, "The Bomb" was our greatest fear. Immense power, horrific death from the skies – the perfect structure for tales of horror. Now, Nemesis waltzes onto the stage, filled with fear, pain, and a deep need for answers. Even monsters need answers, and Nemesis more than most. For all she is a monster, possibly a God, she is lost, searching. But her search can kill millions. Of course, the military is shooting off all its toys, twelve AMRAAM and four Tomahawks have only succeeded in killing civilians so far – and Boston is her next stop. Which is worse? A terrified military blasting away, or a giant beast storming across the land? "Hulk SMASH!"
I got a huge kick out of this story. Narrated by Jeffrey Kafer, the story is a high octane tribute to all the 50's monster movies we know and love. But it is also a denunciation of military incompetence, political ineptitude (yes, those are basically the same words – but military command and the political machine are basically the same thing, so . . .) and the horrific things humans will do given enough money and political and military power.
Jeremy Robinson has written a story for everyone from preteens to adults, delving into the human psyche, exploring our fears and bringing the past into the present. Nemesis is, when it comes down to it, an avenging angel, a Goddess of Vengeance, and I liked her – a lot. Jon Hudson, the hero of the piece, is the lead investigator for a special DHS department – Paranormal Investigations. Following up reports of Sasquatch is embarrassing – but trying to keep the rest of DHS under control, especially the smart-arse Boston lead investigator, is enough to make Jon bang his head against a wall. There is a lot of blood and gore, a lot of military action and military and political stupidity – and his 'sidekick' Sheriff Ashley Collins, is one kick-arse broad, so I was happy with that! There is fun and snarky humour as well, which is always a huge positive for me.
Grab it - It's Fun!
J Mock Jr
Immensely enjoyable
I seem to be on tour experiencing all of Jeremy Robinson's book's. This one was next and it was a great read. I couldn't put it down. I barely spent a moment of free time where I wasn't listening to the book!
Greyflood
A city-stomping good time
I was skeptical that a kaiju story could work in the longer, more in-depth form of a novel; hell, kaiju stories only occasionally work on screen. But the number of raves this book got finally put me over the edge to purchase it. I loved it, and if you're a fan of old-school Japanese monster movies, or the new school of Pacific Rim, you will too.
This book is what the 2014 Godzilla movie should have been. Brian Cranston as Hudson? Yes please. But anyway, that film was correctly criticized for its uninteresting human story, as well as its minimal screen time to the star of the show. This book corrects both those flaws. The human characters are intriguing and well-written, for the most part. Robinson has a strong voice, especially for Hudson's point of view. You care about Hudson and Collins, and even the supporting characters, over the course of the book; they aren't mere bystanders. At the same time, Robinson allows the kaiju to be kaiju, and there are several major setpieces of destruction and action that frame the book's fast-paced beats. It's the best of both worlds in this genre, and it's done with impressive concision and pacing, as well as a perfect balance of horrifyingly gruesome carnage and sarcastic humor. The book doesn't pull any punches about the results of the kaiju's rampages, but it also never takes itself so seriously that it bogs down into utter despair territory. That's a good thing; too much realism in this genre would make for something so grimdark that you couldn't even get through it. Hudson's sardonic, hip narrative always finds a joke somewhere, and the tone is pitch-perfect.
The plot is nothing revolutionary, but it does tie the characters closely to the kaiju phenomenon, and gives several of them very personal stakes in what's going on. The monster itself was fairly original and its abilities are at least credible based the circumstances of its creation. It has a strong aura of both menace and pity, which is a hard line to balance with these kinds of stories, but Robinson does it perfectly. The only element of the book I didn't care for was the villain (the non-kaiju one). His motivation was iffy, and he was a bit too cartoonishly evil for a story that was otherwise full of shades of gray. Luckily, he's not "on screen" a whole lot, so you can get through his parts fairly easily.
So, if Pacific Rim or the new Godzilla have you slavering for more city destruction via giant monsters, this book will be just what the mad scientist ordered. It's not high literature, but it breathes fresh life into this genre and will keep you sitting in your driveway to get to the end of a chapter before heading inside your home.
The narration in this book was good, if not spectacular. The narrator doesn't have a tremendous amount of range or accents, so most of the characters sound the same, but his pacing and tone are well done, and he puts a lot of personality into Hudson's sarcastic narration.

I'm new to big monster books. This was a good one to start on. Good action but best of all, the kaiju has a method, a reason for being that can be followed in the story line. I liked that is not just some mindless beast.
Andrew W. Hatter
Godzilla eat your heart out
great book, had me laughing in a few parts and what is going to happen next, Mr Robinson this is another awsome book!!!
Miss Lyn
Kaiju Thriller
Big scary monster
What was one of the most memorable moments of Project Nemesis?
Maigo's Christmas
What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
He brings depth to the charaters, and a sense of urgency to the story.
It had moments of both laughter and tears.
You will love this book
Shieldslinger
Fusion Center-P is on the job!!
This book has everything! An angry Momma Bear! A giant Monster! Intrigue! A cranky former Marine pilot!
Woodstock the pilot! Nothing makes a good story like a cranky old Marine!
The flying squirrel suit! No, wait, the bear!
This book is a blast! I've listened to it twice so far, it never gets old!
You can't go wrong with this one! It's got everything!
I really enjoyed this story. I found it quite hard to put down. The narrator brought the characters to life and it was always easy to know who was saying what.
A full on joyride
Not the usual audiobook I would go for but it is one of the best I've listened to this year
What did you like best about this story?
It's a roller coaster of action and thrills each time you think it's over the storyline twists and sends you in a totally different direction. This is a solid story that will have me looking for more books from the author in the very near future
What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you had only read the book?
Jeffrey Kafer pulls you into the story with ease his voice brings each character to life and makes you care for there safety
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Godzilla with ladies problems
nigel a milne
I'll have a pint of what he's on.
Bloody hell, I don't know how he can sleep with ideas like this running around his head. By turns comedic, touching and genuinely horrific this book grabs hold and doesn't let go. Not your run of the mill creature feature, I would recommend this book to anyone.
And as usual Keffer does an excellent job.
Colonel Failure
A bit silly, but fun
What did you like most about Project Nemesis?
Solidly good performance with a fun premise (albeit requiring plenty of suspension of disbelief).
If you've listened to books by Jeremy Robinson before, how does this one compare?
This was my first.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Just about anything with Woodstock involved. Not because his character is outstanding, but because the visualisation of those scenes sticks in my mind well.
Steady on! This isn't epic literature here, this is good pulp fiction.
The ending is telegraphed from a long way out but that isn't too big a problem. It's a bit short, but rattles along at a good pace and I'll probably read the inevitable sequel.
Fun mindless destruction.
Not a grand piece of intellectual subtlety but that us hardly what you came here for! The first person format is engaging and novel without softening the horror too much. The romantic sub-plot is sweet without being twee. All in all a fun read. Perfect for the beech. Now we just need the sunshine!

Kim Se-jung as an amnesiac timpanist with insomnia in KBS's rom-com mystery thriller
Although I'm generally wary of rookie idols taking on lead roles, I was pleasantly surprised by Kim Se-jung in her acting debut School 2017, which is why I'm interested to see her back on the small screen and outside the classroom environment. Let Me Hear Your Song, KBS's upcoming rom-com with a dash of mystery and thriller, has released several new stills of Kim Se-jung in what looks like her I'm-only-leaving-the-house-for-a-few-minutes attire (I might have that exact outfit, myself).
The stills all appear to be from the same scene and there aren't many of them, but the show is being pretty stingy with its promo material, what with the three stills here and the three stills of Kim Se-jung's co-star Yeon Woo-jin (Priest) that was released a little under a week ago, so I'll take what I can get. Kim Se-jung will play a timpanist who is a key witness to a terrible murder but has lost all of her memories of the incident. Coupled with the amnesia is her insomnia, which curiously goes away only when she listens to off-key singing.
Cue Yeon Woo-jin's character, who joins the same orchestra she's a member of as a guest pianist. I don't know how he ends up moonlighting as her sleeping aide, but his tone-deaf lullabies become crucial to Kim Se-jung retrieving the memories she lost of the murder. And I think we can safely presume that in the midst of all the musical crime-fighting, the two orchestra-mates will fall in love.
KBS's Let Me Hear Your Song will premiere on July 29 and air on Mondays and Tuesdays.

I know that this premise sounds a bit ridiculous, but I an so looking forward to it. 🤷♀ Maybe it is the forced proximity which can be cute and lead to some fun misunderstandings.
I hope there is lots of music and they show us scenes of being in an orchestra.
I like that she is a drummer and he the pianist.
I dont know about being tone deaf, but being a musician doesnt mean he can carry a tune.
It makes me think of that video of Tablo singing the vocal guide for Crush, lol.

The descriptions often are more ridiculous than the actual plot.
We will see how this one will turn out.

I couldn't recognize her! I liked her in School and this sounds fun.

These games of bloody trope bingo are getting weirder and weirder in their combinations, I tell you.
Other than John Green, who just thinks "ahh I shall make my character a TIMPANIST!!!"
wtf????
Otherwise I kinda love Kim Se-jung and am glad she's in something again finally

I love crazy plots AND Kim Se-jung, so I'm all in!

I love Kim Sejong! Loved her in a School 2017. Sadly, I haven't seen any of Yeon Woojin's dramas since Ojakyo Brothers! I'm excited for this one.

FWT (Fixed Wire Testing) also referred to as the Electrical Installation Condition Survey is the examination and testing of the circuits contained with the fabrics of a building premises. These includes the socket outlet, lighting circuits and various other circuits.
Why Does my Business Premise Require a Fixed Wire Test?
It is the business owner's responsibility and it is vital that this role is taken on or delegated to a senior personnel. Often slackness in all electrical testing may occur due to people being busy, staff not knowing who has the responsibility or simply the cost. However none of these reasons will be accepted as a defence in the event that an accident or fire occurs and as per neglect of other tests and regulations you could be fined or placed in prison. You have a responsibility to test and inspect electrical systems at work.
Overton base our Fixed Wire Testing costs on a per circuit basis. You only pay for the circuits requiring testing. Also if everything is well maintained the cost is obviously lower so call us today to let us take care of your regular electrical maintenance.
Overton Electrical Services Ltd basically check that all fuses and cables are the correct size. Also we ensure that the installation meets all the requirements of BS7671 and that, in the event of a potential fault, all circuit protective conductors and/or devices will perform correctly to ensure the safety of any persons within the installation.
What about Disruption to my Business during Fixed Wire Testing?
Fixed Wire Testing (FWT) requires a series of visual inspections and electronic tests to be performed to establish the safety and suitability of your electrical system. If performed correctly, you can expect that each electrical circuit within your workplace will have to be shut-down for a period of 15-20 minutes whilst our engineer sends test signals into the cables and protective devices to ensure their integrity and carries out a thorough visual inspection of the installation.


The making of the midi controller continues. After Novation Xio now the target is Nord Micro Modular. In the early era of planning it seemed as a giant project. First I thought I would build a midi keyboard, a midi controller and a complete eeepc(for nord editor) into a big house. I've used the eeepc for a week but the 10 inch screen(1024*600 resolution) proved to be not enough. There is no room for many modules.
The electronics remains the teensy board just like before, but this time with a native midi not USB.

"We apologise to Mr Poroshenko
for any distress caused..."
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has received a financial settlement from the BBC, after he sued the broadcaster for defamation. In a report by Paul Wood broadcast on 23rd May 2018, BBC News alleged that Poroshenko had paid Michael Cohen $400,000 to secure a meeting with Donald Trump in 2017. (At the time, Cohen was Trump's personal lawyer, though he has since been convicted of election campaign violations and other offences.) In a statement, the BBC said: "We apologise to Mr Poroshenko for any distress caused and have agreed to pay him damages".

Q: Parsing restraints with bash and awk I have restraints that look like
G6N-D5C-?: (116.663, 177.052, 29.149) K87CD/E85CB/E94CB/H32CB/Q21CB
L12N-T11C-?: (128.977, 175.109, 174.412) K158C/H60C/A152C/N127C/Y159C(notH60C)
K14N-E13C-?: (117.377, 176.474, 29.823) E187CB/V78CB
A75N-Q74C-?: (123.129, 177.253, 23.513) V131CG1/V135CG1/V78CG1

and I need to convert them with output:
assign (resid 5 and name C ) (resid 87 and name CD or resid 85 and name CB or resid 94 and name CB or resid 32 and name CB or resid 21 and name CB ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! G6N-D5C-?: (116.663, 177.052, 29.149) K87CD/E85CB/E94CB/H32CB/Q21CB
assign (resid 11 and name C ) (resid 158 and name C or resid 60 and name C or resid 152 and name C or resid 127 and name C or resid 159 and name C ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! L12N-T11C-?: (128.977, 175.109, 174.412) K158C/H60C/A152C/N127C/Y159C(notH60C)
assign (resid 13 and name C ) (resid 187 and name CB or resid 78 and name CB ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! K14N-E13C-?: (117.377, 176.474, 29.823) E187CB/V78CB
assign (resid 74 and name C ) (resid 131 and name CG1 or resid 135 and name CG2 or resid 78 and name CG1 ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! A75N-Q74C-?: (123.129, 177.253, 23.513) V131CG1/V135CG1/V78CG1

I have tried awk, but I couldn't figure out how to break up the array. Please help me convert this, it is brutal to do by hand.

A: You'll want to split the first word on - and examine the 2nd element.
Then split the last word on / and examine each element.
Assuming GNU awk, read carefully about split() and match() from http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/html_node/String-Functions.html#String-Functions

Feeling generous:
gawk '
  function extract(str, fmt,      m) {
    if (match(str, /^.([0-9]+)(.+)/, m)) printf fmt, m[1], m[2]
  }
  {
    split($1, a, /-/)
    extract(a[2], "assign (resid %d and name %s ) (")
    n = split($NF, a, /\//)
    sep = ""
    for (i=1; i<=n; i++) {
      extract(a[i], sep "resid %d and name %s ")
      sep = "or "
    }
    print ") 3.5 2.5 8.5 !", $0
  }
'

A: Here is one way using perl:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use autodie;

open my $fh, '<', 'restraints.file';

while (<$fh>) {
    my @values = map { /.(\d+)(\w+)/; $1, $2 } split '/', (split)[-1];
    my ( $resid, $name ) = /^[^-]+-.(\d+)(\w+)-/;
    print "assign (resid $resid and name $name ) (";
    print join ( " or ",
        map  { "resid $values[$_] and name $values[$_ + 1]" }
        grep { not $_ % 2 } 0 .. $#values
    );
    print " ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! $_";
}

Output:
assign (resid 5 and name C ) (resid 87 and name CD or resid 85 and name CB or resid 94 and name CB or resid 32 and name CB or resid 21 and name CB ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! G6N-D5C-?: (116.663, 177.052, 29.149) K87CD/E85CB/E94CB/H32CB/Q21CB
assign (resid 11 and name C ) (resid 158 and name C or resid 60 and name C or resid 152 and name C or resid 127 and name C or resid 159 and name C ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! L12N-T11C-?: (128.977, 175.109, 174.412) K158C/H60C/A152C/N127C/Y159C(notH60C)
assign (resid 13 and name C ) (resid 187 and name CB or resid 78 and name CB ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! K14N-E13C-?: (117.377, 176.474, 29.823) E187CB/V78CB
assign (resid 74 and name C ) (resid 131 and name CG or resid 135 and name CG or resid 78 and name CG ) 3.5 2.5 8.5 ! A75N-Q74C-?: (123.129, 177.253, 23.513) V131CG1/V135CG1/V78CG1

This area of clay target shotgun shooting that has shown the greatest growth worldwide in recent years is Sporting Clays. This competition is set up in a natural bushland setting, with the traps presenting clay targets that simulate hunting a variety of game such as ducks, rabbits, quail and pheasants. The traps can be concealed in the bush or on towers, with the targets only visible in cleared areas.
The targets can be shot over a course of six or seven 'stands', where shooters are shown targets in singles or doubles of various sizes and colors, and shoot each station with their squad of five or six shooters in turn. Most courses comprise 25 targets and the degree of difficulty can vary from easy to extremely hard.


One survivor shares several dangerous statements that can do more harm than good.
Eating disorders are a confusing beast. Despite how common they are — it's estimated that at least 30 million people in the United States alone struggle with one — there's still a lot of stigma associated with EDs. In part, that's because there's so much about them most people simply don't understand.
Our society has wired us to comment on weight loss as a good thing — something to be congratulated on. To someone with an eating disorder, however, this "compliment" can be extremely dangerous. For one, it sends the message that the results of disordered eating are positive, never mind what it took to get them. It's also important to remember that people who are actively eating disordered often don't feel good about their bodies. At the height of my anorexia, there was never a moment when I could look in the mirror and think, "I'm done, I've lost enough weight now." I always wanted to lose more, and someone telling me I looked "great" would often trigger me to start planning an even lower "goal weight" than before.
What you could say instead: "I love the way you did your hair today." It's a good idea to avoid commenting on someone's body. If you want to compliment them, choose a feature that has nothing to do with their physique. Alternately, ask them how they're feeling and bypass their appearance altogether.
2. "Want to split this granola bar? There's only X amount of calories in it!"
Numbers talk can be really harmful for many people who are eating disordered, as well as those who are in recovery. To this day, I can't walk into Starbucks without feeling a rush of anxiety when I see the menu with all of the calorie counts on it. You may think you're being helpful with a statement like this, but you may really be fueling the impulses behind many people's eating disorders. When I was struggling with anorexia the most, it got to a point where 100 calories for one meal felt like too much, so to hear any talk of numbers or digits would send me into full panic mode.
The problem with this type of statement is that it's based on the myth that disordered eating is a choice or a "diet." It's essential for other people to understand that an eating disorder is not a lifestyle — it's a mental illness. According to the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD), eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness — making it even more dangerous to think of eating disorders as something a person could control and "switch off" if only they wanted to.
An eating disorder is not a lifestyle — it's a mental illness.
What you could say instead: "So, seen any good movies lately?" The National Eating Disorder Association encourages friends and family to avoid discussions that surround eating habits, whether theirs or your own. If you're eating with someone with an eating disorder, try talking about something that has nothing to do with food to help ease any anxiety they may have.
People who ask this question usually do it without thinking; it's a genuine reaction to seeing someone put very little on their plate. In college, I used to expect this inquiry any time I ate dinner with someone outside my circle of friends. In fact, I didn't just hear it from my classmates, but also from dining hall employees — they'd raise their eyebrows at my plate of carrot sticks and scoop of hummus and ask, "That's all you're getting?"
What you could say instead: "It sure was hot out there today, wasn't it?" Seriously, don't say anything about people's food intake during meal time. It's important to remember that eating disorders cause people to think differently about food, so what might seem like a harmless question could cause a lot of anxiety. Talk about literally anything else — the weather, a movie, the latest celebrity gossip. If you are concerned, talk to them later, away from food. Share your observations in a non-judgmental manner and ask how they've been feeling.
Eating disorders come in all shapes and sizes. While certain illnesses are more visible than others (anorexia, for example, is diagnostically marked by a significantly low body weight), it's important to remember that EDs are, first and foremost, mental illnesses. Sometimes you can see physical symptoms, and sometimes you can't. Furthermore, people with EDs might interpret this statement as "You're not thin enough," which can trigger dangerous behavior.
What you could say instead: "I care about you, and I'm here to help in any way I can." Rather than invalidating someone's experiences, offer your support and friendship.
A few weeks before I went into recovery, a friend of mine approached me for "tips" on restricting. "How did you do it?" she asked. "Do you have any strategies that you can share?"
In retrospect, this was a totally absurd request. Would you ask someone with the flu to "teach" you how to get the flu? Of course not, so why would you try to coerce "tips" from someone with a mental illness? Again, eating disorders are not a diet or something people choose to have. By asking questions like these, you undermine the seriousness of the disorder itself.
What you could say instead: "Hey, your makeup looks amazing today — got any tips for liquid eyeliner?" You may feel like it's okay to talk about yourself, but comments about your own weight or body might be triggering. Instead, ask the person for advice on something else — makeup tips, help with a project, advice on a relationship issue. It's helpful to remind them that they have a lot to offer, and aren't defined by their ED.
It's important to remember that people with eating disorders often develop "safe foods" and "fear foods". Eating "fear foods" can produce intense anxiety for those with EDs, and to make light of that is to severely misunderstand what they're going through. Furthermore, reversing the effects of eating disorder weight loss is not as simple as "eating a hamburger." Recovery often involves an entire re-learning of how to approach eating.
What you could say instead: "Hey, do you think we can talk sometime?" If you notice a friend looks very thin, it is certainly a good idea to talk to them about it. You don't want to ignore the issue entirely, because that could be dangerous too. However, it's important to find the right time and place to broach the subject in a serious way, rather than making an off-the-cuff remark that could be offensive and hurtful.
What you could say instead: "I'm proud of you." If you know someone is in recovery and making progress, try letting them know how happy you are without talking about their body. Avoid commenting on any weight gain you see, even if you're happy to notice it. Focus on the emotional piece of the puzzle, and praise your friend for taking action in their recovery.
10. "Being super-skinny isn't attractive anyway."
There's a misconception that people with eating disorders try to lose weight just because they're vain, which is entirely untrue. A lot of times disordered eating isn't about looks at all, but rather the emotions that encourage the behavior. I felt just as bad about my appearance at my lowest weight as I did when I was at a "normal" weight. It was never about what I saw in the mirror; it was always about how I felt inside.
What you could say instead: "I wish everyone had a great sense of humor like you!" Try to avoid talking about body sizes and beauty in general. Discussion surrounding thinness isn't productive when speaking with someone who has an eating disorder, even if you're trying to be helpful. Instead, focus on positive qualities that have nothing to do with someone's outward appearance.
What you could say instead: "I'm worried." It's okay to communicate that you are worried about or scared for your friend or loved one. But instead of being accusatory, try framing your emotions with "I" statements, like "I'm concerned about you." Most importantly, listen. Make sure that the person knows that you're there for them and that you won't give up on them. To the best of your ability, leave anger out of it, and focus on being a source of support. At the end of the day, that's the best you can do.

Beat Happening - Look Around (2LP)
Various / 2015 Domino / 1ZlED45266LL60P7Wu3yeN - $47.95
Look Around is a career-spanning Beat Happening collection was long overdue when it finally arrived in 2015. Thanks to Domino Records, the band finally started to get the reissue treatment many bands of their stature had been getting for years. The 23 tracks chosen by the bandmembers themselves include their first single, 1984's "Look Around," and tracks from their five albums and singles, and ends with their surprise 2000 single "Angel Gone," which was released with the Crashing Through box set. It's the perfect starting place for someone who maybe heard about the band and wants to check them out, and it's also a reminder for longtime fans of just how many brilliant songs they had. It's almost staggering when they are all collected in one place like this. The trio of Calvin Johnson, Heather Lewis, and Bret Lunsfordwere able to create a sound from the very beginning that was inviting in its simplicity and deceptively deep lyrically, with tunes so catchy that they stick halfway through the first listen. Sometimes called twee or child-like, their songs are actually quite often dark and brooding with undercurrents of death and sex lurking just below the crashing and strumming surface.

RAAF Base Richmond a true working family

A Supplier with No. 84 Wing, Sergeant Deborah Harris has strong family connections at RAAF Base Richmond.
Sergeant Harris has three family members posted to the base - her younger sister Flight Lieutenant Carrie Atkinson, her daughter Leading Aircraftwoman Rebecca Harris and her granddaughter Aircraftwoman Georgia Campbell.
The reunion at RAAF Base Richmond is creating unique opportunities for the women to support one another professionally and personally.
"For many years I didn't talk about my work as it was a job and language not everyone understood," Sergeant Harris said.
"Now I discuss the supply role regularly with Rebecca and Georgia, providing guidance if they ask."
Sergeant Harris enlisted in 2002 wanting a career change after working in retail for 24 years.
"My kids had grown and I had more flexibility," Sergeant Harris said.
"I was 40 and a grandmother when I enlisted.
"I believe with Rebecca and Georgia growing up with me in the Air Force, it helped with their respective decisions to enlist."
Like her older sister, Flight Lieutenant Atkinson made the decision to join the Air Force later in life.
Having been married to an Air Force member, she commissioned into the Air Force in 2011.
She joined through a Graduate Medical Program to become a doctor and studied medicine at Australian National University in Canberra.
"I had four young boys when I joined and started medicine," Flight Lieutenant Atkinson said.
"I think it is nice for people to realise that it is never too late to reach for your goals and it can be done with children."
In 2016, Flight Lieutenant Atkinson was posted to No. 3 Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron.
As a doctor, Flight Lieutenant Atkinson provided care to patients being evacuated on an aircraft to receive further care.
After working as the operations officer, she moved to Joint Health Command as the Base Medical Services Officer for RAAF Base Richmond.
Leading Aircraftwoman Harris' decision to join Air Force echoed the experience of her mother and her aunt.
"I worked in hospitality for 10 years as a single mum with no stable family friendly work hours," Leading Aircraftwoman Harris said.
"I applied to the RAAF after watching my mother transform her life from working in retail to now loving her career and lifestyle in Defence," Leading Aircraftwoman Harris said.
In 2015, Leading Aircraftwoman Harris was able to settle her three children with her mother in Wagga Wagga, ahead of her enlistment.
Following in my mums footsteps was the best decision I ever made for me and my family.
The family's support network at the base has ensured Leading Aircraftwoman Harris is able to work away from her family when required.
"Following in my mums footsteps was the best decision I ever made for me and my family," Leading Aircraftwoman Harris said.
The family's experience is now inspiring the next generation, as Aircraftwoman Campbell has shown.
"Growing up seeing the stability and passion my grandmother has for her career, and my grandfather's pride serving in the Navy from 1976 to 1980, I always knew a stable career in the RAAF was something I would work towards," Aircraftwoman Campbell said.
"After visiting Rebecca on the RAAF Base, I sat nan down and asked her to help me with all the information I needed to reach my goal."
Aircraftwoman Campbell joined Air Force through the Gap Year Program in January 2019, posting to No. 37 Squadron.
She won't be the last of the family to join Defence however, with Flight Lieutenant Atkinson's son Aidan having been accepted for enlistment into the Army.
Leading Aircraftwoman Harris said the older members of her family had served as examples for the younger generation to follow.
"To see my niece Georgia follow in all our footsteps was one of the proudest moments when I stood by her graduation in uniform," Leading Aircraftwoman Harris said.
"I look forward to hopefully someday doing it again for my cousin Aiden, and for my eldest son."

Q: AWS S3 Upload Access Denied through Presigned post generated with AWS-SDK PHP i'm trying to upload a file (an image for my tests) to my s3 bucket with a pre-signed post generated with AWS SDK PHP.
Firstable i generate the pre-signed post, then i manually create the request with given PostObjectV4 datas with Postman or via a simple html form...
After filling everything, the request result in Access Denied :-(.
The user associated with the client to generate the PostObjectV4 has Allowed s3:PutObject policy on the corresponding bucket.
I've already tried to :

*

*Set my bucket as public write, and it works ! This indicates me a problem of permission / policy... Unfortunately my bucket don't have to be public...

*Upload a file via aws command line, it works too

PHP code of pre-signed post generation (datas are in $postObject) :
$assetAwsS3Key = $this->getAssetAwsS3Key($asset);

$options = [
    ['starts-with', '$key', 'myDir/'],
];

// Optional: configure expiration time string
$expires = '+24 hours';

// Set some defaults for form input fields
$formInputs = ['acl' => 'private'];

$postObject = new PostObjectV4(
    $this->buildAwsS3UserClient(),
    $this->awsBucketName,
    $formInputs,
    $options,
    $expires
);

// Get attributes to set on an HTML form, e.g., action, method, enctype
$formAttributes = $postObject->getFormAttributes();

// Get form input fields. This will include anything set as a form input in
// the constructor, the provided JSON policy, your AWS access key ID, and an
// auth signature.
$formInputs = $postObject->getFormInputs();

return ['formAttributes' => $formAttributes, 'formInputs' => $formInputs];

My user (used for client generation) policy :
{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "s3:PutObject",
                "s3:GetObject",
                "s3:DeleteObject"
            ],
            "Resource": [
                "arn:aws:s3:::awsBucketName/*"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

My simple html form for test upload:
<form method="post" action="https://my-bucket.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="hidden" name="key" value="myKey/sources/myImg.jpg" />

        <input type="file"   name="file" />

        <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Credential" value="MYUSERACCESSKEY/20190510/eu-west-3/s3/aws4_request" />
        <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Algorithm" value="AWS4-HMAC-SHA256" />
        <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Date" value="20190510T132109Z" />
        <input type="hidden" name="Policy" value='MYBASE64ENCODEDPOLICY' />
        <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Signature" value="MYSIGNATURE" />
        <input type="submit" name="submit"/>
    </form>

Do you have an idea/clue why this upload fail while the bucket isn't public write-access allowed ?
Many thanks in advance !

A: I got rid of the problem, i'll share the changes i made here since my first post in order to get the upload to work. Please adapt it to your needs if necessary.
The AWS configuration used:
 - Same in-line policy attached to my user as in the first post(please be sure of the bucket name you set in the resource key)
 - S3 Bucket with no policy attached to it
 - S3 Bucket All Public Access Disabled
Here is my up to date php code for creating the postObject :
    $objectKey = $this->objectKeyGenerator->getObjectKey($object);

    $options = [
        ['bucket' => $this->getBucketName()],
        ['eq', '$key', $objectKey],
        ['acl' => 'private']
    ];

    // Optional: configure expiration time string
    $expires = '+2 hours';

    // Set some defaults for form input fields
    $formInputs = [
        'acl' => $acl,
        'key' => $objectKey
    ];

    $postObject = new PostObjectV4(
        $this->getS3Client(),
        $this->getBucketName(),
        $formInputs,
        $options,
        $expires
    );

    // Get attributes to set on an HTML form, e.g., action, method, enctype
    $formAttributes = $postObject->getFormAttributes();

    // Get form input fields. This will include anything set as a form input in
    // the constructor, the provided JSON policy, your AWS access key ID, and an
    // auth signature.
    $formInputs = $postObject->getFormInputs();

    return ['formAttributes' => $formAttributes, 'formInputs' => $formInputs];

What changes in the postObject generation compared to my first post :

*

*I did not use 'starts-with' option anymore and generate the object key manually so that the uploaded file will have to be uploaded only at the generated key (if another key is given it will fail because of the key non-equality), but i think this is was not what was leading to the error and i'm pretty sure it will always work with 'starts-with' option.

*bucket and acl attributes are now in the $options array as the Create PostObjectV4 sample code given in the AWS SDK for PHP Developer Guide (see [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-php/v3/developer-guide/s3-presigned-post.html]).

*In the $formInputs array, key is present, so that i can get it back in the postObject (because the key submitted must be the one calculated). I think this is not mandatory.

I tried to reproduce the error by removing the bucket and acl from the $option array and this led to an '403 Forbidden error' but with a message stating 'Invalid according to Policy: Extra input fields: bucket' which i find not very obvious... I haven't investigate more on this error.
I'm also sharing my html form that changed a bit since first post, input fields order changed and acl field was added because required by the policy.
    <form method="post" action="https://my-bucket.s3.eu-west-3.amazonaws.com/" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="hidden" name="key" value="object/key.txt" />

    <input type="hidden" name="acl" value="private"/>
    <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Credential" value="MYUSERACCESSKEY/20190510/eu-west-3/s3/aws4_request" />
    <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Algorithm" value="AWS4-HMAC-SHA256" />
    <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Date" value="20200108T093921Z" />
    <input type="hidden" name="Policy" value='MYBASE64ENCODEDPOLICY' />
    <input type="hidden" name="X-Amz-Signature" value="MYSIGNATURE" />
    File:
    <input type="file"   name="file" />

    <input type="submit" name="submit"/>

To conclude, in my original post i don't talk about my s3 bucket public-access and policy configuration and i think that the problem could have been here.
Hope this helps, feel free to ask for details if necessary.


Sometimes you can solve a tricky problem by turning it the other way round. If you have your eye on a new home but are struggling to sell your old one, let-to-buy can offer a potential lifeline. Find out how it works and whether it might suit you – and make yourself aware of the risks.
Bob and Sally have never met. For one thing, Bob is 61 and lives in Peterborough. Sally is a lifelong Londoner in her early 30s. But both have a similar issue preying on their minds.
Bob and his wife want to downsize. A perfect seaside bungalow has just become available, and Bob has been warned it will be snapped up very soon. However, his large family home is proving hard to shift, and if he drops the price, he'll have less money in retirement.
Meanwhile, down in north London, Sally has realised that her two-bed flat no longer has enough space for a growing family. She wants to move to a house in the suburbs – but husband Bryce would rather hang on to the London flat, as property in the capital is such a good investment.
Both of these dilemmas could potentially be solved by the same means: letting to buy.
Let-to-buy is exactly what it sounds like: you keep ownership of your current home, rent it out, and use the rental income to secure a second mortgage on a new home. You could then keep the first property indefinitely, or just for as long as it take to sell at the price you want for it.
This means that Bob can secure the bungalow he wants without having to wait for his big house to sell. And Sally can afford a new family home while keeping her London flat as a valuable asset.
However, in practice the process can be quite complicated, so both will need to think carefully before making this decision.
Do you need a different type of mortgage?
The first thing Sally discovers is that she will need a whole new mortgage on her flat. As she's going to be letting it out permanently, she will need a buy-to-let mortgage rather than a residential mortgage. These typically have higher repayment rates, and also require bigger deposits – 25 per cent or more. Sally also realises she will need money for a deposit on her new home.
Fortunately, she and her husband have about 40 per cent equity on their flat. This means they can remortgage and use some of the equity as a deposit on the flat, and the rest as a deposit on their new home.
By contrast, Bob is confident that his original home will only take a few more months to sell. His mortgage lender agrees, and so is willing to let him keep a residential mortgage on that property. However, he still has to remortgage in order to free up some equity for a deposit on the bungalow. Also, if his house takes longer than expected to sell, his mortgage lender may insist that he moves to a buy-to-let mortgage.
To secure their additional mortgages, both Bob and Sally have to prove to their lenders that they will receive enough rental income to make the repayments. They also need to show that they could keep up repayments even in the even of the property being unoccupied for a period of time.
They will also need to factor in the other costs of buying to let, such as the extra 3 per cent stamp duty on rental properties, and the flat rate of 20 per cent tax relief even for higher-rate taxpayers.
In addition, the responsibilities of being a landlord need to be factored in. These can be stressful as well as costly, and Bob (who is retiring soon) hopes he won't be burdened with them for very long. Sally, on the other hand, will discover there's a lot more to it than just waiting for the rent to roll in.
Conveyancing is always a complex and costly process (with buyers' and sellers' purchases all having to complete on the same day) and in a let-to-buy situation there is yet another layer of complexity. Someone in Bob or Sally's situation is apply for two mortgages at once – one residential, one buy-to-let – and it needs to be managed as a single transaction to ensure that everything goes smoothly. You can't continue to live in a property that is bought with a buy-to-let mortgage, so both mortgages need to complete on the same day (unless the lender is willing to make an exception).
One hazard in particular to avoid is mortgage deadlock – where each mortgage lender is waiting for the other mortgage to complete first. To prevent this stalemate situation from developing, both Bob and Sally engage an independent mortgage broker to handle both mortgage applications all the way to completion.
Let-to-buy is not for everyone, but if you have a substantial amount of equity on your current home, and are in a situation like that of Bob or Sally, then it's something you could consider. Just be aware that there can be some very complex calculations and transactions involved, as well as several unknown quantities (such as, will you be able to get tenants for the rental property straight away?).
For these reasons, it's strongly recommended that you consult an independent mortgage broker – both to confirm that this decision is the right one, and to source the mortgages you need and manage the simultaneous application processes. It's certainly not an easy option – but with the right help, it can help you secure the home you want.

Teresa joins us again for those that are interested in cloth diapering… to show us step by step how to actually put on a cloth diaper.
This is how to put on a cloth diaper made of a prefold and a waterproof cover with Velcro fastenings. There are other ways to fold the prefold but this is the one I use and I haven't needed to adopt any other methods. There's a one step adjustment for babies when they are smaller in relation to the size of the prefold which I will cover at the end.
2. Fold the bottom corners of the prefold in.
3. Bring the bottom of the prefold up.
4. Pull the left and right corners from the back to meet the fold at the front.
5. Secure each side with a Snappy and pull the third claw to make it form a Y.
6. Close the waterproof cover over the prefold.
8. Make sure to tuck in any part of the prefold that may be showing to prevent leaks.
The prefold is showing, this will leak.
*After step two, fold a margin of whatever makes sense from the top to help the prefold fit the size of the baby, and to hold everything in!
A happy cloth diapered baby!
There you have it! Leave any questions in the comments below!

County building department still seeking master plans examiner
The state has changed some regulations to make it easier to get plan approval for major commercial and industrial construction projects.
County building department still seeking master plans examiner The state has changed some regulations to make it easier to get plan approval for major commercial and industrial construction projects.

Al Lawrence, Correspondent Published 1:59 p.m. ET Oct. 18, 2018
Richland County Courthouse(Photo: File photo)
MANSFIELD - The state has changed some regulations to make it easier to get plan approval for major commercial and industrial construction projects. Richland County Building Department director Kara Russell outlined the changes Tuesday when county commissioners reviewed her department's proposed 2019 budget.
Russell told commissioners the state now is allowing what she described as "elective plans examining" to be done by examiners who are certified in any of five areas that are required to be reviewed by a master plans examiner (MPE). Those areas are building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and fire.
Russell said that while the change will make it easier for larger building departments to do plan reviews because they often have individuals with specific certifications, the process is "cloudy" for a small department like Richland County.
"The way I'm reading it is they're saying you can review everything but a department should still have an MPE or somebody who can organize stuff and coordinate all the comments," she said. "They fixed all the credentials and what they need to do now is address the fact that a department has to have an MPE on staff."
Commissioners have contracted with private companies and individuals to handle any commercial reviews and other work that needs to be done by an MPE since former building department director Jared Dickey resigned last December after just 18 months on the job. It was noted when Russell was hired in May that she has an interim MPE designation and is taking classes so she can take a test to get full authorization.
Russell said she has been advertising for an MPE since July and is doing a background check on the one qualified candidate who applied before calling the person in for an interview.
"Part of our problem is our location because we're landlocked. The state handles everything south of us and we handle everything to the north of us," she said. "There are a whole bunch of plans examiners in Columbus, Delaware and Cleveland and there just are no other building departments around us, so it's harder for us to attract people."
Regarding the 2019 budget, Russell presented a plan to spend $700,195, which is higher than this year's spending plan. She explained that the proposal is a "worst case scenario" that includes some raises for inspectors to bring salaries more in line with other departments and full replacement costs for people who could retire.
Commissioners also heard a presentation from Famico Williams, community engagement coordinator for Catholic Charities, on some of the services the agency provides in Richland County. Williams said Catholic Charities has 10 employees at its Mansfield office at 2 Smith Ave. who work with wellness, food, veterans and elderly guardian programs — as well as the local Pat Kracker Breast Cancer Fund and a 3E project that provides information and referral services to help employed people overcome barricades and achieve workforce stability.
Williams said the agency's food pantry had 603 people sign into the program in September, which impacted 1,392 individuals. He said that while the program gets food from the Greater Cleveland Food Bank, it recently started a partnership with the Bellville Neighborhood Outreach Center to get a truckload of produce from Sam's Club and Walmart on Thursdays.
"That's been a huge success and benefit for the community because folks are getting access to fresh fruit, bread and things of that nature," Williams said.
In other business, Commissioner Marilyn John announced that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources has agreed to name an unnamed tributary of the Black Fork just southwest of Shelby as Stanley Run. The request to name the tributary was made by Lorna Albert to honor her grandfather, Stanley Tarvin. Tarvin also is grandfather of Shelby School District superintendent Tim Tarvin, who is Albert's brother.

'Anarchy in Bengal but am arrested for a meme', says BJP's Priyanka Sharma
Priyanka Sharma, the BJP leader who was arrested for sharing a meme on West Bengal Mamata Banerjee, on Wednesday said that she was "tortured" in jail.
Priyanka Sharma also said that she won't apologise for sharing the meme. "There is anarchy all across Bengal and I am being jailed for sharing a meme," said Sharma. The Supreme Court had ordered her release on Tuesday and told her to apologise to Mamata Banerjee.
On Wednesday, the top court said the arrest was "prima facie arbitrary". The observation came after the lawyer for Sharma's brother said she has not been released from jail despite the court's order for her immediate release on Tuesday.
Sharma was arrested on May 10 after she reportedly superimposed Banerjee's face on Priyanka Chopra's photograph from the Met Gala event in New York held on May 6. The 26-year-old was charged with penal provisions relating to defamation, uploading offensive content and distributing sexually explicit material.
The Supreme Court said it will hear Priyanka Sharma's application seeking action against the West Bengal police authorities in the first week of July.

Back to Pathways Into Specialisation


1. Bill regularly and timely. Don't be late sending invoices. Stay top-of-mind.
2. Follow up on invoices sooner rather than later. It's OK to follow up within a week or two of sending an invoice, Kaufman says.
3. Have a written agreement that includes collection terms. If a customer doesn't pay, you want to make sure you have legal grounds to collect the money that you're owed.
