Delivering Insights through Global Thought Leadership
The Sustainable Brands community sits at the forefront of making the case that embedding environmental and social purpose into the core of a brand is the future of business. SB Insights enables the success of better brands by providing direction to key trends and emerging best practices, as well delivers tools and resources to support the implementation of transformational programs within companies. Learn about recent initiatives and the resources that will help turn your ideas into action.
The Good Life Initiative
There is a subtle shift among global societal aspirations towards the good life. Rather than the pursuit of money & status, recent research suggests consumers are collectively beginning to seek balance and simplicity, along with greater connection to family, community and the environment as foundations of a life well lived.
Consumers are beginning to expect more from the brands they choose to support. For brands to remain competitive amidst a changing landscape, they must evolve with new generations of consumers. To validate our sense of this subtle shift in global societal aspirations, Sustainable Brands launched a three-year initiative to help businesses understand and enable The Good Life that is emerging within the global marketplace.
SB Transformation Roadmap
The SB Brand Transformation Roadmap℠ is a pioneering self-assessment tool that provides a comprehensive process plan for continuous improvement in sustainability. A first of its kind, it is specifically designed for mainstream brands and businesses who are navigating their journey towards more sustainable business practices.
This practical and flexible tool that provides opportunity for continuous improvement and goal prioritization. It is built on and supports existing thought leadership and best practices. The tool applies to companies regardless of leadership style, sustainability focus, industry sector, and rate of momentum that a company has around sustainability.

Brands for Good
#BrandsforGood is a movement initiated by Sustainable Brands, that uses the voices of our brands and companies to demonstrate and encourage sustainable behavior. Depending on sources, research says that somewhere between 65% and 95% of people today wish to live a more sustainable life, and to purchase products that support a more sustainable future. Our challenge is to close the intention to action gap AND shape a culture where sustainable living is seen as the Good LIfe of tomorrow.

QUALITY COFFEE BEANS HAND ROASTED AND MATURED IN ITALY: This blend has a fragrant aroma and delightful tones of honey. It has been perfected by Lisa, the daughter of the Pelliconi family. Lisa likes a light coffee with a "green" and berry-like taste. The beauty of Venice and the sweets of an Italian 'Pasticcerias' were the inspiration behind this slow hand roasted coffee.

Woman as Reason: Abortion in the time of COVID-19
by Terry Moon
The pandemic gripping the globe and killing tens of thousands has revealed in a global way what the genocide in Syria showed the world in one nation: that the capitalists and rulers who think they own and run the world could stand back and do nothing as Bashar al-Assad—with help from Russia and Iran—tried to destroy an entire civilian population because they desired freedom.
Clinic defenders like these at Mississippi's only surviving abortion clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, are preparing to fight anew against Trump's promised attacks on women's right to abortion and birth control. Photo: Clinic Vest Project.
Now we see capitalists and the governments that do their bidding—and none does that bidding with more gusto than the U.S.'s Donald Trump—willing to sacrifice the poorest workers to a brutal disease. It includes but is not limited to those in the gig economy, in production, home-care workers, bus drivers, farmworkers. It includes those on the front line, including nurses and doctors, medical technicians, and the list goes on and on. The only thing that seems to hold Trump and other rulers back from trying to restart the economy—which would also restart the pandemic—is that all the deaths that would result might make them look bad and negatively influence their reelection.
ABORTION BANS: A FORM OF TORTURE
By banning abortion outright—as a "nonessential medical procedure"—in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, governors in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas not only ensure that many more women may well die who would not have died otherwise, they created a unique form of misogynist torture. It is torture because the pandemic means that women have even more reason for needing abortions: being pregnant compromises a woman's immune system; Marie Stopes International, estimates that because contraception is now harder to get, worldwide 9.5 million people will not get wanted contraception which "could result in as many as three million additional unintended pregnancies, 2.7 million unsafe abortions and 11,000 pregnancy-related deaths."
It is unclear what the virus does to a fetus in the first two trimesters of pregnancy; the number of women in abusive relationships has skyrocketed and pregnant women are particular targets of abuse; so many have lost jobs, incomes, family members; women die in childbirth, which is 14 times more dangerous than an abortion.[1] More women in the U.S. die of pregnancy-related complications than in any other "developed" country. The U.S. maternal mortality rate was 26.4 per 100,000 births in 2017 and rising. Just as more African-American women are dying from COVID-19, African-American, Native-American and Alaska Native women are about three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women.
The torture intensifies because these bans are based on the most obvious of lies, which reveal to women the contempt in which we are held. It shows that these politicians are more than willing to put our lives in danger to suck up to their anti-abortion fanatical base, to win a few more votes to stay in power and make sure that women know their place and stay there.
ALL ABORTION BANS BASED ON LIES
Ohio's attorney general David Yost lied when he couched his anti-woman order to ban abortions under the guise of conserving healthcare resources and the other governors told the same lie as well. Abortion, obviously, is not an "elective surgery" that can be postponed. Abortions don't take up hospital beds because they are done in free-standing clinics. They don't require ventilators or most of the other materials used to treat the COVID-19. Having a baby uses hospital beds and much more equipment and personnel. Eight national medical groups, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology, stated that elective abortions are "an essential component of comprehensive healthcare,"[2] and that, "The consequences of being unable to obtain an abortion profoundly impact a person's life, health, and well-being."
Abortion bans are torture because they force women against their will to carry a fetus to term. Christina Cauterucci explained in Slate what forced pregnancy means now: "[W]omen will also need prenatal care, which will compel them to risk exposure to COVID-19—and risk exposing others—to make several visits to doctor's offices staffed by over-worked practitioners. If they miscarry or develop certain pregnancy complications, they may have to take up valuable surgical supplies and hospital space during what will long be a dangerous time to inhabit a hospital bed. When they go into labor, in some hospitals, they'll have to endure childbirth alone, without a partner, doula, or family member by their side. Their infants' first days of life may be spent in a virus-rich environment without proper supplies, staffing, or standards of care." She rightly calls this "abuse."
Women are fighting these bans and have some limited success in the courts—those that have not yet been compromised by Trump's appointments of the most incompetent and fanatical. But if the pandemic has shown us anything with the willful disregard for human life and the torturous abortion bans so gleefully embraced by many Republican governors, it is that we can't count on courts or common sense, or the corrupt leaders that litter the U.S. government. Never was it clearer that we need a revolution to sweep these death-dealing politicians out and create a society based on new human relations.

The Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors comes to vibrant life in this delightful musical parable. Joseph is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams, and his father's favorite son. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged.
He is purchased by the Potifars where thwarting advances from the Mrs. lands him in jail. When news of Joseph's gift to interpret dreams reaches the Pharaoh (wryly and riotously depicted as Elvis), Joseph is well on his way to becoming second in command. Eventually his brothers, having suffered greatly, unknowingly find themselves groveling at the feet of the brother they betrayed but no longer recognize. After testing their integrity, Joseph reveals himself leading to a heartfelt reconciliation of the sons of Israel.
Set to an engaging cornucopia of musical styles, from country-western and calypso to bubble-gum pop and rock 'n' roll, this Old Testament tale emerges both timely and timeless.


La Quinta by Wyndham Weatherford – što se nalazi u blizini?
Lobby dangerous floor. My daughter tripped on a floorboard in the lobby. I informed the front desk and they looked at it and said they would inform someone. It should have been blocked off or taped down for further avoidance of danger. I informed them in the morning as well since nothing was done and still nothing done immediately. The 3rd floor hallway smelled musty and the room smelled so musty I felt sick. They did change my room to the 2nd floor and that was better. Breakfast was ok but not more than ok. The setup of the dining area was horrible and also dangerous. The fridge was below the waffle maker so it was easy to get burned and very difficult to bend down to see and get food from the small fridge—I just about got burned on the waffle maker and my back hurt bending down.
The stay was lovely , but expedia double billed rooms on my debit card that was paid at the hotel.
Manager was very nice, however, the first room we were in had a dirty bathroom, and second room had dirty sheets. There was only one desk person that evening so they brought us some clean sheets and we had to make up our beds. The breakfast was good and the check-in and check-out was easy.


Let me just say that I love Helena Bonham Carter, and have ever since "A Room with a View" when she so charmingly wore all those nice frocks and called Daniel Day-Lewis "Cicil." In the quarter-century since that movie (yikes, really?), she's shown both consistency (lots of corsets) and versatility (did you see her in "Conversations with Other Women"?), not to mention a lot of unexpected wit (her Red Queen was one of the joys of "Alice in Wonderland"). And she can always be counted on to show up at an awards show looking mildly or thoroughly off-kilter, and she makes it work. Anyway, I suspect we are not going to see her win an Oscar this year for her delightful work in "The King's Speech," so I want to give her a few inches here, for a speech she gave at the Directors Guild Awards last weekend, introducing "TKS" director Tom Hooper. I like how she brings up the idea that, for those who aren't hearing their names called at awards shows (and this year, if your name isn't Firth or Portman or Leo or Bale, you're probably not hearing it), gratitude is still very much present, even if you don't get a chance to express it. Here's her speech (as quoted from the New York Times's Carpetbagger blog); as the Brits would say, well done, Helena.
. . . Colin keeps winning all the awards and he deserves absolutely every one of them. But I haven't won one yet, but just because you lose – I really don't mind all the losing, but the thing is, what do you do with all that gratitude? Just because you lose, you don't feel less grateful. So I just want to say, thank you, Tom, for employing me, for not cutting me and actually not listening to me, because had he listened to me, I would not have actually been in the film. He asked me many, many times to be in this project, and I kept on saying no because I was actually already working during the week on Harry Potter, playing a witch, I have two children, I sort of felt I should see them at some point, you know, for five minutes and so I said no to him.
It actually became a weekly thing. He'd call and say, it's Tom, and I'd say, don't bother, no I can't, and then the next week, no, I can't. And then suddenly, one weekend, I realized – well I found myself dressed as the Queen Mother on set and I realized that I guess I was doing it. I never actually said yes. So I just started acting, appropriately. So thank you Tom for not listening and thank you for being brave and sane enough to actually employ me uninsured. Because of Harry Potter – I sort of moonlit. Thank you for your relentless and unstoppable, bordering on the sociopathic, passion and commitment to the singular pursuit of making what you see inside your head. And I think this is where you always travel to, it's inside you, and thank you for making that come to life on the outside, so the rest of us can see it. You better come get your medallion.

Scenes in Africa, where Kenyan league champions Gor Mahia have splashed out a national record fee of four million shillings (£27,000) to sign Rwandan star Jacques Tuyisenge. The Amavubi Wasps skipper has agreed to a two-year deal from Rwanda Police FC with the move sealed before end of the January transfer window.
More from Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, speaking to BBC Sport: On the goalscoring form of Wayne Rooney: "He has his momentum but also the team is now playing more for him I think. We have to wait and see where he goes with this rhythm of making goals, with this then he is a fantastic striker.
"I have always said that we are capable of beating every opponent. I shall continue to say this but it is not easy in the Premier League because the difference between the top clubs and the rest is not so big. Sunderland losing against Manchester City only 0-1. When you win like we did and Tottenham won away today, these are great results."
At the top of the page, or watch on BBC One.
If you're watching in England or Wales, switch over to BBC One now.
For viewers in Northern Ireland it's a 23:15 GMT start and 23:45 if you're in Scotland.
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, speaking to BBC Sport: "I am a very happy coach because I have seen fantastic goals, team goals, where we are building up from the back and finishing like that, and also controlling the game in the second half. Michael Carrick said to me after the match that it is so different when you score the early goal. We had a lot of chances to score in the first half also in previous matches but you have to finish, and now we are finishing and still creating more.
"I think we have played in the first half attacking- wise very good. In the second half we were more controlling and we didn't give any chances away against a team like Stoke. That is remarkable because they always make it difficult."
Don't forget that former Swansea manager Garry Monk and ex-Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy will be talking you through the goals on Match of the Day - tonight it's on from 22:45 GMT on BBC One (23:15 BBC One NI & 23:45 BBC One Scotland).
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal, speaking to Sky Sports: "It was a great first half, we scored fantastic goals and we created more chances above that. In the second we controlled the game, scored the third goal. It was very good.
"I think in 2016 we have only lost against Southampton in the last minute. We have more confidence maybe. I cannot say we now have more confidence because we lost to Southampton at home and that can never be. At home you have to win but I hope it gives us motivation to continue because in Derby we played very well also. Three goals eh? In a row!"
Stoke manager Mark Hughes, speaking to Sky Sports: "We didn't start in the right manner. We conceded early on, were too passive and for the first goal we didn't get close enough to people. Avoiding going 1-0 down early on is what you talk about before coming to Old Trafford, and unfortunately we conceded another poor goal for the second.
"In the second half we had go but you run the risk of being caught and in the end it was probably damage limitation from our point of view."
Crystal Palace manager Alan Pardew: "We just cannot seem to find a goal. It was a frustrating evening: a lot of good play, but another defeat.
"We're losing too many bodies, a tough night for us. Of course it's concerning, but we go to Swansea and try and get a result. It was a good goal.
"Bournemouth worked very hard and they scored with their two chances. It's hard to take that we've lost but we have to rebound. We lacked a bit of quality: we were up for the battle but you've got to have both sides."
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea: "That was a really important game for us, three important points. They didn't create many chances, we scored early and that was the key. We need to keep this tempo and try to get into the top four as soon as possible. We always try to play the same football; we believe in ourselves and we need to keep this level, play all the matches like today."
West Ham boss Slaven Bilic speaking to BBC Sport: "I've seen many times that a team that has one player more can't find a solution, are more nervous and concede a goal.
"It wasn't the case tonight. In the second half we played the way a team should against 10 men.
"We could have scored earlier but then we scored with a great goal and after that it was much easier.
"Aston Villa played good. I have to give a lot of credit to them. They've improved a lot. Unfortunately for them that one moment of madness affected the game a lot."
More from Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce on suggestions Jermain Defoe elbowed Nicolas Otamendi: "Jermain Defoe doesn't elbow anybody on purpose. They make a big fuss about it and that's what they do. That's mostly foreign players, they do make a big fuss of it. That's in their nature - I'm not saying it's in the way they are brought up. They react in a more volatile way to incidents like that than we do. We accept that but I don't think Jermain intentionally did it."
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "We put the energy level in and created chances. I cannot fault the team on that front. It is not only luck. I don't believe too much in luck. We feel disappointed and guilty. In a game like that when you create chances you want to win. We had the chances to win it. But their keeper kept them in it.
"You have to always think the opponent will play well and despite that still score. We had all kind of chances and it looked like it would come. But sometimes you lose these games."
[When asked if this is a case of the 'same old Arsenal', dropping points at crucial stages] "Look, I don't know why you say same old Arsenal. For 20 years we have been at the top of the Premier League. At the moment we have to say that we have dropped points but we have to keep fighting and believing."
Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard, speaking to BBC Sport: "From the first whistle we were on top, we were sharp, that's what we needed to do today. As soon as we scored the first we knew we'd score a second or a third. A result like that settles the nerves of the fans, the players, even the manager. Hopefully now we can go on a run, we're looking forward to the Chelsea game."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe: "We weren't very good first half, but we showed great resilience and we just about deserved it.
"It was a high-class goal [from Marc Pugh] and it proved to be a lifeline. Second half we were a lot more fluent and we broke really dangerously through the heart of the pitch.
"We believe in Benik [Afobe] and he's doing ever so well for us. We're not the finished article but we're moving in the right direction."
Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri told BBC MOTD: " Amazing. The first goal was unbelievable. We played very well and pressed a lot against a very good team. Jamie is very fast and can create a lot but it was unbelievable how Mahrez found him and how he had the time to see the keeper out of the goal and scored a fantastic goal.
"The team is in good condition. Now it is important to recover the energy because we have to run a lot against Manchester City. We are free of pressure. The players have a good feeling."
Former Swansea manager Garry Monk and ex-Liverpool midfielder Danny Murphy will be talking you through the goals on Match of the Day - tonight it's on from 22:45 GMT on BBC One (23:15 BBC One NI & 23:45 BBC One Scotland).

This post is primarily aimed at assisting consumers who are dealing with debt collectors, but it can also be of benefit to consumers dealing with other issues such as automobile dealership fraud or the lemon law. The minute you sense something might be wrong with a consumer transaction or interaction (and it probably won't take long when certain debt collectors call you), immediately go out and equip yourself with the means to record telephone and/or in-person communications. Then surreptitiously record all future communications. In Indiana (note that other states' laws are different, if you are not recording in Indiana please check the law of the state where you intend to record), this is legal as long as one party to the conversation is aware that the communication is being recorded. Do not, and I repeat DO NOT, let the other party know they are being recorded. If you do, they'll be on their best behavior and won't show their true colors.
Recordings like this can be INVALUABLE if you end up having to go to court to protect your rights. They are a great way to hold companies and people accountable for what they say and what they have done. With debt collectors, you just never know when they are going to say something that violates the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collection Practices Act) and you want to be ready when they do.

How can a camera be the most versitle if it was left at the condo bc it was too big or expensive. An ok picture is better than no picture at all.
Actually I am sitting in TGI Fridays with my fam, typing this post out on my iphone while they are talking to me about the tiny epl5 in front of me. I would never bring a dslr to dinner with my in-laws.
But why not? If I bring a camera I bring the one I feel most capable for the circumstance I'm bringing it for. More times than not that means a dSLR.

How writers became who they are
Trevor Carolan
May 20, 2019 by chongchongchong
Interviewed by Bradley Peters
Trevor Carolan is the author of twenty books of non-fiction, poetry, translation, anthologies and journalism. Carolan has worked as media advocate for aboriginal land claims and Pacific Coast watershed issues, holds a PhD, and teaches English and Creative Writing at University of the Fraser Valley. His books include Return to Stillness, an award-winning account of his 23-year training with Tai Chi Master Ng Ching Por in Vancouver's Chinatown, road novel The Pillow Book of Dr. Jazz, and his guest-edited eco-anthology Cascadia: the Life and Breath of the World, which received a 2013 Best American Essays Citation. Road Trips, his third collection of poetry, will be published in spring 2019 by Ekstasis.
You are a very prolific writer; I'm interested to know whether you have a favourite, or if you are especially proud of one of your works, and why?
When you keep steady at writing it's usually your latest book that's a favourite. My last title, New World Dharma really brought together a lot of the material that has been close to my heart. It collects the interviews and profile features with or about important Buddhist writers, teachers and leaders I've produced during the past 25 years. I was grateful for securing a respected university press like State University of New York to bring it out because they have the reach and capability to ensure it gets distributed widely. I like to think of it as a generational legacy that can be picked up by others—younger seekers especially—searching for something of the wisdom traditions these great mentors have to share.
When I decide a time to write, I somehow usually end up doing the dishes, folding laundry, taking a long shower or going on a walk. Am I subconsciously preparing to write, or am I a hopeless procrastinator?
We're surely all procrastinators, but sooner or later it's simply a matter of applying the seat of your pants to the seat of your chair as one wag put it. As a writer I'm a great believer like Jack London in the power of steady, applied work, but that's something I learned on the job growing up with my dad who laid bricks and concrete blocks all-day-long as a mason. Just get on with things and keep moving the project forward.
What does a day in your life look like in the midst of a writing project? Specifically, how many hours a day, and days a week would be dedicated to writing, thinking about, or purposefully not thinking about your work?
For the past 15 years or so I've been fortunate in working as a university professor with all the reading, prep work and marking that entails. This is after the previous 20 years of scuffling in the writing world. I'm writing most of the time one way or another, whether it's toward a committed project—an article or a book—or grooming poems or my journals. Likely, I'm also writing to friends in distant places. I've always maintained an active correspondence and this, I think, is a kick-starter for it all. If a book manuscript or whatever stalls for a bit, then I get writing letters and sharing my latest yarns. Friends who know me seem to understand that I'm often working out stories, probes, fragments of memoir and so on in my letters to them. Schedule-wise, I get up, play Tai Chi and exercise for about 40 minutes outside, get the coffee on and porridge for breakfast, check the news online, then either get off to classes or get started upstairs in my office. Typically, I have two, three or four things on the go—one main, current project—but also book reviews, letters to publishers, research ideas, editing Pacific Rim Review of Books with Richard Olafson the publisher…that'll keep me going until evening break-time. Long hours, but when you love what you do, it's not unwelcome.
Have there been slow periods in your writing career, or times where you didn't write?
Not so much. When I was an elected councilor in North Vancouver in the 1990s, that was incredibly involving; but I managed to publish several books during that period.
You have travelled an incredible amount. Those travel experiences enter your writing in various ways. How important do you think it is for a writer to travel? Is it important for a writer to hound new experiences in general?
Travel is a completely personal thing. I know terrific writers who stay close to home. I've always loved hitting the road. Maybe it's having been an immigrant kid. I still remember the milk-run stops en route to Canada from Yorkshire in '57 when I was a boy, fellas in kilts at Glasgow airport, the greasy spoon cafeterias in Quebec City and Winnipeg. In elementary school, we had a wonderful reader called If I Were Going—all travel stories, beautifully illustrated. Those things pointed me toward travel, I reckon. For the type of writing I appreciate, travel seems an integral component; but again, you don't have to travel to be a good writer. You do need experience in the world. Get out and meet funky new people away from that miserable Facebook scene. Try new stuff. Take it to the street—man, that's the test. Learn to balance writerly solitude with public engagement. Good engaged writers become ambassadors for humanity.
As an aspiring professional writer and young adult, I would like to ask how you feel the experience of marriage, and then how having children, affected your writing life, and your work in general?
There's a reason why writers dedicate their books to their wife or husband, their partner, their children. We understand that we'd have floundered without their love, their patience and their support. If you're serious, that loving ground is the bedrock you work from. It's what you make of it.
You have written about the Beat Generation. I am a fan of artists from that period myself. I'm curious what your opinion is on the relationship of artistry to potentially mind-expanding or perception-altering drugs; seems to have worked for The Beatles. Could getting high in a responsible and safe way potentially benefit one's art?
There's a long history of psychotropic questing in sacred or religious ritual. Baudelaire and the Symbolists established an artistic template for this in Paris with their explorations in the late 19th century, and the ideas of bohemian life were popularized there by Henri Murger in his newspaper articles about starving artists, living on love and not much else. Mainstream laws regarding such use have tended to be draconian, although this hasn't deterred seekers, artists especially, from exploring their use as a means of seeking shamanic insight into the fuller nature of consciousness. So, yeah, God bless The Beatles; it's a serious matter though, not to be taken lightly. I'd be very wary when it becomes a pop thing. There's certainly no compulsion regarding their use by writers and artists. Among writers, alcohol has long served as the quicksand of choice, and the world is filled with tragic figures that didn't make it back.
You have had varied careers, from teaching to publishing to politics, and more. Was there ever a career or working experience you feel really elevated or affected your writing?
Oh sure, there have been a number of them. Living in California introduced me to a lot of poetry, ecology, and to Tai Chi. James Barber—one of the best arts critics in the city—gave me some invaluable advice: he said, "Become an expert on something." So, I got writing about art, music, artists.
Being a dad got me more rooted at home, and I found myself writing about picking salmonberries with my kids and about nature. I embraced it and started working in environmental advocacy locally and in B.C.
My doctoral program down-under at Bond University in Queensland, Australia, was a phenomenal experience. On my first day, I was sent to meet some tribal people in the bush at these giant wild turkey nests near a stretch of beach. This fellow daubed in clay brought out a long didgeridoo and got womping on it, then the dense bilma sticks were clacking; people were dancing and chanting in Yugambeh. Those didge vibrations fill your head and take you straight to the beginning of the world. After that, I poured everything I had into my dissertation project. It's where I learned the rigour and discipline of scholarly research and academic writing from Rosita Dellios. I still return to that manuscript for ideas.
Networking. I hate it. What do you think about it? What would a successful networking experience look like for you?
In my case, I made a conscious decision to get involved when I left university. When I saw a day-long workshop on writing and publishing advertised at the local library, I registered. I learned more at this event than I had in a couple of years of school. I attended a series of follow-up seminars offered by the freelance magazine writers association here in Canada—PWAC. They were inexpensive and a chance to hear presentations straight from the editors, publishers and writers I needed to meet if I wanted to keep on writing and get published. After each event, I'd stay behind and help clean up. One night a veteran CBC writer came over and said "What's your name? We see you help out after every event and nobody knows who you are. A few of us are going for a drink; care to join us?" That was the start of it for me.
My last questions a doozy. Do you think being open to spirituality or the concept of a god is integral to being a stronger artist? Could a tactile thinking person, an atheist, say, as I often consider myself, or a skeptical agnostic, be lacking some key ingredient in the art making process?
You know, anyone can be an artist. However, it's a gift that requires cultivation beyond just pushing keys on a cell-phone. In my experience, to stick with that commitment to your gift is probably going to take some kind of faith, because not many folks can live with the constant financial anxiety of not having a steady job or paycheque. If you're a writer or an artist, you're going to live that way. So, you'll need some element of faith when times get tough. If you've got soul, I reckon you can relate to that, whatever your spiritual path. And if you don't, then heaven help you, or whatever secular mojo you've got as your back-up plan when trouble comes knocking. For me the spiritual is inseparable from my writing work—it's what I see evidenced in the natural world here where I live, where some days it gets so calm you can hear God breathing on the bay. Bring that into your work — the soul. That's the kind of writing and literature I love.

Rowan Hisayo Buchanan
May 6, 2019 by chongchongchong
Interviewed by Ella Adkins
Rowan Hisayo Buchanan (her/she) is a Japanese-British-Chinese-American writer, author of one novel Harmless Like You which was the 2017 winner of the Betty Trask Prize and a shortlist nominee for the Desmond Elliot Prize 2017. This novel has a multi-generational narrative, following two parallel timelines of Yuki, a Japanese girl born in New York, and her son Jay, who Yuki abandons when he was a child. I first encountered Rowan's work at the Vancouver Writers Fest a few years ago, where she read an excerpt from Harmless Like You. I was fascinated by Rowan's depiction of Yuki's quiet, tormented character and how Rowan explores the complexity of what society would deem as an unforgivable act: abandoning your child. I had the pleasure of corresponding with Rowan, and picking her brain about her writing practice and her work.
First things first, what are you reading right now?
I'm reading Golden Child by Claire Adam, because I've been asked to review it.
What was one of the first cohesive creative things you wrote?
When I was in school, we were often given creative writing exercises in English class. They blur together a little in my mind, but I remember very clearly writing a story about a dragon. It was one of the longest stories I'd ever written and I decided it was necessary to illustrate the border, with many, many smaller dragons, chasing each other around the border. As an adult, I have written no stories about dragons, perhaps because that so thoroughly got it out of my system.
What was it that made you decide that you were going to pursue this whole writing business?
It wasn't one big decision but rather several small ones. During university, I interned in various places, an architecture firm, a business consultancy, a fashion magazine. I was trying to find something practical to do, but my pleasure time was spent reading and writing. So, when one my professors suggested I apply to MFA's, and spend two years being paid to do those things, I couldn't resist trying. The support from my professors at UW-Madison lead me to look for a literary agent.
If you were to have an ideal writing space, if you don't already, what would it look like?
I really like my set-up at the moment. I use desk that I inherited from my mother, who used it in her student days. The pale yellow wood is flecked with ink stains. It feels like proper working desk. The window has a view onto a white-painted wall, onto which a neighbour's cat occasionally climbs. I have mugs filled with pens, a notebook with good smooth paper, and my laptop for typing up.
That said, I spent a year where I travelled four hours on the train every week, and I wrote there too – so I know it's possible to write in clatter and clang, with a battery that's about to die. I just prefer the former.
Do you find that physical location and where you are when you are working affects your writing?
The city or physical location where I am living can impact my writing. Often the physical places inform the atmosphere of a story. And usually locations and settings are at least partially inspired by something real.
With regards to whether I'm at home, on a train, or in a café, I don't think so. My preference is to create new work somewhere quiet and solitary, (see your earlier question.) But I often find that editing, it's good to refresh my brain and spend some time in a new location, usually a library or a café. Sometimes a different atmosphere will allow me to focus differently.
It seems like you dabble in various forms: obviously fiction, with your successful first novel Harmless Like You, but also non-fiction, and graphic forms. Do you find that you move between written forms often? Or do you mainly stick to one form of writing?
I think of myself primarily as a fiction writer. But each form of writing has the potential to help your mind work differently. And switching can open up new avenues of thought.
When I write fiction, it is almost an investigation into the characters, trying to understand them as best I can. I came to nonfiction later. For me, that is more of a conversation with the reader. Think of when you meet someone you click with and you want to share all you know with that person. You don't just want to show them what happened to you, you want to show them the way the world looks through your eyes.
In both fiction and nonfiction, I'm most interested in the truth of how it feels to be a person moving through this world, because that is what I take pleasure in reading—those moments where you think 'Aha, that is what it is like to be alive.'
On the other hand, when I draw, I'm more interested in beauty for its own sake. A line that is lovely or colours that bounce off each other are a great source of joy for me. And so drawing is for me a gentler mode.
Let's talk about your novel for a second. In Harmless Like You, specifically through the character Yuki, you explore ideas around cultural identity, and the layered experience that is having a mixed race and cultural background. Can you speak to that narrative and how your own identity informed Yuki's experience, if at all?
Harmless Like You is a novel about a Japanese artist in New York in the 1960s and 70's who ends up abandoning her child. It is about how and why that happens.
My mother who is half Japanese and half Chinese, grew up in Manhattan at that time. She told me so many stories of her girlhood, but in the movies and books I read about that era there were no families like my own. So it was interesting to write a fictional family to whom I could give some of those stories. In the novel, Jay Yuki's son is mixed race. He has a lot of worries—his wife hates his therapy cat, he feels ambivalent about his new baby, he's quite angry at his own mother. I didn't want being mixed race to be the main standout issue for him, but I do think that being mixed race can give a person the need to invent themselves. If you don't grow up with a model of what people like you are supposed to be like, there is the need make it up yourself.
Can you speak a little to the journey of getting your first book published? And on that note, any advice to emerging writers trying to get their work into a more solidified form?
After the MFA, I taught high school English until I was offered a fellowship by the Asian American Writers Workshop. About six months after that, I found an agent, Lucy Luck. (It sounds like a superhero name doesn't it?) She and I worked on the novel, through two rounds of edits. Lucy sent it out to publishers. I was very fortunate –a few publishers were interested in Harmless Like You, so there was an auction.I found an editor who was a good fit for me and now it is out in the world.
Advice? It will depend on the writer. But something a friend said to me that I've always found helpful, is to ask yourself what story you are best equipped to tell. What is your unique vision of the world? That might have to do with your personal history, your family, your community, or just what it is you love to read. If you have a gift for imaginary kingdoms, don't beat yourself up for not writing realism. But equally, if it's autofiction that makes your brain sing, go for it! What is popular will come and go, so stick to your gifts because those are what will make you stand out.
Got any advice for some bright eyed, bushy tailed, recent graduates with BFA's in Creative Writing?
Don't rush. I was panicked all the time that I was too slow. I look back on that now and I see that was causing myself unnecessary pain. It is more important to keep yourself healthy and happy so that you have the strength to write the best possible book than it is to fret about the time it takes to write. I know writers who came to publication at very different times of their lives and who took very different routes. There is no one correct path and you never know which experiences will be useful to you in the end.
Can you give us a few words on your new project Starling Days?
Wow, you do your research. We haven't even made the official announcement about that yet! Set in London, Starling Days is about love, mental illness and how the way we love changes when we get sick.

Q: how to make sure the page is loading only after the jquery is loaded I have a jsp page with jquery-ui somehow it's taking time to load .
I have hide the dom and onload function I am writing the following code
setInterval(function(){
if(typeof jQuery.ui !=undefined )
 {
   $(document.body).css("visibility", "visible");
 }
},5000)

I don't want to run the function once condition get true , how to achieve it

A: Write your all code inside the:
$( document ).ready(function() {
    console.log( "ready!" ); //Here you can put all the code
});

Once you DOM(Document object model) is ready then your js code will run, which is written inside the document ready function.

A: Put your code inside a $( document ).ready() block. As shown below.
$( document ).ready(function() {
    console.log( "ready!" );
});
OR shorthand for $( document ).ready()
$(function() {
    console.log( "ready!" );
});
You may refer to this documentation for more information. https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/document-ready/


The 2017-2018 regular season is rolling along as American Thanksgiving is once again upon us and everyone's freaking out about some of the teams that are in playoff position (like Vegas) or not (like NYR) and all that stuff about "teams that are in the playoff picture by Thanksgiving traditionally make the playoffs based on stats".
I'm as much of a stats fan as the next guy, but in today's NHL, parity is unpredictable. There are some false positives in the playoff picture right now as there are equally some teams that we all thought would be dominating the Pacific Division currently– I'm looking at you, Edmonton Oilers.
Alas, the Boston Bruins find themselves in fourth place in the Atlantic Division as they are about to chow down on some turkey, quinoa and whatever else I'm sure Zdeno Chara is probably cooking up for them because if you haven't already heard, his diet is better than Tom Brady's*.
*I don't actually stand by this claim, Mr. Brady. You're still the GOAT.
Boston is one point away from tying the Detroit Red Wings in points, but would leap over them for sole position of third place in the division if the B's tied Detroit, given the Bruins have a game-in-hand on the Red Wings currently. Likewise, if Boston added two points outright, they'd surpass Detroit (because that's how the whole "2 points for a win, 1 point for an overtime/shootout loss and no points for a regulation loss" thing works).
Please remember that my degree is in communication– not math– so any miscalculations are Microsoft Excel's fault.
Without further ado and to give you something to talk about at the dinner table while you stuff your face with sweet potatoes, here's a look at how every player on the Bruins should pan out as the team has now played 20 games this season.
Keep in mind, young guys like Anders Bjork, Matt Grzelcyk and others will even out in some of their individual stats with more games under their feet. Bjork probably won't have 15 points on the power play, but that's just what the formula in Microsoft Excel shows until he gets another 10 or 20 games in his system.
Guys like Grzelcyk and Rob O'Gara, while they've played games over a couple of seasons, are like Bjork according to the formula in that their total number of career games means just about the same as one season (or more accurately, 16 games so far) of Bjork. And obviously Tommy Cross is Tommy Cross.
Like Jordan Szwarz, Cross doesn't have a huge sample of career games played and there haven't been plenty of appearances since his last game at the NHL level (though Szwarz actually filled in for nine games while David Krejci, Ryan Spooner and David Backes were out with injuries).
Thankfully Spooner is back and can start racking up assists, while Krejci can settle in with Jake DeBrusk pulling his weight as a rookie.
Hopefully Peter Cehlarik continues to be making claim for a longer stay with the big league club instead of going back to the Providence Bruins like he did last season after making his NHL debut, because his play with and without the puck has certainly been impressive– aside from the clear chemistry he has with David Krejci.
Patrice Bergeron has improved since his lower body injury forced him out of the lineup, but he's still looking at an "off" year for the next 62 games ahead. That's right, a bad year for Bergeron is still worth 60 points in scoring.
Whenever Brad Marchand returns from the IR, he should be just fine.
And it should be rather transparent, but David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy are incredible stars on this team. So there's that.
Finally, there's no goaltending controversy with the black and gold. Tuukka Rask should rebound, but you'd be crazy not to ride the back of Anton Khudobin while he's been on fire lately.
Rask is best kept between 45 and 58 games in a season, so if Khudobin can keep up his current play for another 10 games or so before returning to his usual backup status, that should buy Rask plenty of time to recover from overworking the last three seasons (or more, probably more). Play Khudobin until he burns out, but hope he can take off almost 30 games from Rask's workload compared to the last couple of seasons.
If you're interested, here's a look at how the Bruins should have been doing entering the 2017-2018 regular season.


Board game for learning the basics of electrical circuits. Why not?
I made the "electric" designer of… cardboard. Alas, the project still remains at the prototype stage, not developing into an industrial "physical" look and is waiting for its time (and investor).
But I decided to go further — once we started making cardboard, we'll bring the situation to its logical conclusion — we'll make a complete cardboard board game, but with an electric setting and a learning effect. There were a lot of options — starting from a simple "walker" and ending with Ameritrash from a zombie with electron movement and vicious short circuits and swollen capacitors.
As a result, I decided to dwell on a logical abstract, since the schematics of electrical circuits are very suitable for it. Said and done — as a result of the first iteration, the game "Circuit" was born.

Haas can be like Force India - Magnussen
"When we are good we are really good"
Haas has the potential to be as competitive as top F1 privateer Force India.
That is the view of Kevin Magnussen, the Danish driver who races for the small American outfit.
2017 was Ferrari 'B team' Haas' second season in F1, and Magnussen said: "We are very solid under certain conditions, but we lack consistency.
"When we are good we are really good, but when we are bad we are terribly bad," he told France's Auto Hebdo. "The 2018 car will not have this quality."
Magnussen, 25, therefore tipped Haas to keep developing and aim for the kind of results fourth-placed Force India has achieved in recent years.
"We are young but we're growing," said the former McLaren driver.
"It's amazing what the team manages to do despite our lack of experience," Magnussen continued.
"I think in general the small teams can do a good job — look at Force India. Haas has a bright future ahead of it," he predicted.

Empire's show creator Lee Daniels finally opened up about Jussie Smollett's "incident" for the first time since the show's season comeback this past Wednesday.
"These past couple of weeks have been a ' roller coaster," he admits.
Although he never mentions Smollett by name, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it all out when he stressed that the episodes that have aired over the last two weeks were filmed "prior to the incident," referring to Smollett's alleged attacked on Jan. 29 in Chicago, which later led to his arrest and indictment on 16 counts of felony charges.
Smollett of course denies all allegations.
This week's Empire episode opened with Smollett's character Jamaal playing the piano and singing an original song called "Perfect Place" (which sounded really similar to the song he sang during last week's episode…just my PhatGyrlSnoop 2 cents), with a slight difference of some lyrics that seem to really shed some hints of the allegations surrounding his real.

In this article, we have provided you with some tips that are neccessary and unavoidable from the perspective of SSC Exams. Apart from that and what are the reasons for the selection of only few candidates, this is also revealed.
It is observed that only 30-40 candidates can make it out of every 100 candidates.
Do you know, How it is happening?
The answer is poor strategy adopted by the rest of the candidates. In this article, we are providing some common tips which you should adopt.
Tip 1: It is not advised to adopt irrelevant notes and Guides.
As the SSC CGL Tier-I exam is conducted as per the schedule and Tier-II, III & IV is still remaining. Most of the candidates are still waiting for the results while some of the candidates are confident about their results. So, there is a rush towards books, guides and coaching institutes which assures guaranteed selection but in advertising only, not in practice. Hence, it is always better to read from authentic books of standard publication or well known writer than such notes and guides which are compiled or written for a particular examination. As experience suggests, most of these books are copied version and badly embroidered having lot of errors, mistakes and inconsistencies. These fake books are responsible for the deformity in your dreams. It is suggested to read and practice from the past year exam papers and books written by eminent writers like R.S. Agarwal, etc.
Why analysis of Previous Year Paper is Important to crack SSC Exam?
Tip 2 : Never underestimate the mathematics as a subject of reading.
Mathematics is a subject which is subjected to be handled on Pen and paper. Never attempt to read the questions as we do in preparing GK, English and some time reasoning as well. It is preferred to practice examples too apart from theoretical theorems because it is seemed that questions appear easy to solve but in practice it is not so.
Tip 3: Never go with too many Books.
It is developed habits in most of the candidates to read several books for the same subjects as they considered themselves to be good in academic and try to actuate their mentality to resemble it with the competitive exams. Reading more books results in more confusion. Therefore, it is pertinent to read the particular books several times with through approach in mind.
Tip 4: Avoid coinage (Tukka), It does not fit most of the time.
Used to do Jack and Jill with the options.
Please note that these tricks and tips does not fit at all but results in leaving to deduction in marks.

Yes they sure are. I think I got the last left side one from Honda in 2014. And the only reason I needed it was because the one I originally put on Red Rocker in 98 was "yellowing". I remember the right side already being discontinued, so I was super lucky. People that don't know about them for the 93-94 missed out on a great little upgrade.
BenelliBlade, Gunk and chuckhunter like this.
Good question. I lack knowledge on all things 'early' Blades, but it appears to be a fork protector of some form.
Surely a guru will enlighten us?
I thought they had something to do with forks, but couldn't picture where they are. Have a pic of them installed?
In my pic it's installed, on the right.
They hold the fender on as well, US model 93-94 ones did not rise up at all to protect the traveled portion of the fork tube.
They were only on the 1995 CBR 900RR.

The only model in the U.S. was the 1995. Not sure of models across the pond.

Scientists Ask For Bitcoin & Dogecoin Donations
By Coinbrief	Last updated on January 2, 2018 at 00:00 3 Comments
Molecular biologists associated with Harvard and MIT are asking the cryptocurrency community for help in funding their projects. The scientists want donations for their research into the mTOR gene, an important catalyst in the process of cell aging and cancer development.
Tim Peterson, postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, posted on the Bitcoin subreddit Tuesday asking for charitable donations from the community. He provided proof of identity and links to his work on Onarbor, a crowdfunding site he created that accepts Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and credit cards through Stripe.
Peterson and his colleagues hope to generate a new source of funding for their research that doesn't rely on the cumbersome process of applying for grants.
Microfunding for Science
Peterson's crowdfunding site, which just launched this month, is designed to enable users to become "backers" of particular projects by donating money. In this way Onarbor is similar to other crowdfunding platforms like Kickstarter and Indiegogo.
An academic paper relating to cell biology, posted on Onarbor by Tim Peterson.
However, Onarbor is special in that it allows contributions in the form of cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Dogecoin. As little as 5 DOGE (0.2 cents) can be donated to projects, or "works" as they're called on the site. This opens up the possibility of a project getting funded through thousands of tiny donations, instead of trying to secure one large grant.
Peterson elaborates in the comments section of his post:
Making a micropublishing and microfunding platform in Onarbor, we felt we could both reduce the time researchers were spending not doing actual science, and allow people to stress less about the money they were giving.
New Crowdfunding Features
While Peterson and his colleagues mainly use Onarbor to showcase their scientific papers, the site also supports publishing documents, music, videos, and apps. Practically any piece of creative work can be published on the site for peer review and donations.
Doge fan art posted by Onarbor user Xistinas.
Onarbor's innovative peer review feature simulates the process that researchers are familiar with using in scientific journals. Not only can projects be funded through micro-donations, but the peer-reviewed responses can be funded as well. This incentivizes fellow academics on the site to review the works of their peers.
In addition, Onarbor supports "versioning" of work, similar to how GitHub offers different versions of the same code. Whether it's a song, video, document or app, the work can be updated by its creator to include new features and peer suggestions. All previous versions of the work remain accessible for playback by Onarbor users.
Paradigm Shift?
Peterson said that his research has raised about $6,000 in digital currency so far, with help mostly coming from the generous Dogecoin community. It appears that the new crowdfunding experiment is already successful, with scientists raising supplementary money that would have been difficult to acquire without the help of cryptocurrencies.
While Onarbor is still working out the kinks — active users are scarce, the site design is choppy, and the login form is buggy — the concept itself holds a lot of promise. Perhaps in the future, scientists will no longer have to worry about the bureaucratic nightmare of grant proposals, and will be able to take their work directly to the public at large. Digital currencies are, for the first time in history, allowing scientists to have a direct financial relationship with science advocates.
Update June 14: Onabor's site design has improved since its launch in May, and the home page is now a streamlined vertical view of recent Works. Login form also works perfectly now as well.

Hi Sean, Onarbor founder here. Thanks for the nice article. @mybighairycoins, great question. You can rest safe that your BTC is going towards more research. The money researchers raise must be handled by the university and this is precisely what Onarbor allows researchers to do. Onarbor allows people to receive Bitcoin and convert the funds they raise into USD that via Stripe can be deposited into the university's bank account. Enabling a legal, transparent payment architecture was critical to developing Onarbor. I'm sure you can imagine universities like Harvard and MIT (but really all universities) have lots of rules in… Read more »

There is Einsteinium, just for that.

I'm torn on this. On one hand, I like the idea of donating directly to scientific research. On the other hand, anybody can claim to be doing scientific research and ask for donations. These guys, for example, are from a for-profit entity pretending to be from non-profit educational institutions. Where's the auditing? How do I know my BTC is actually going to research rather than a new car for this guy to drive to his lab?

Insights: New Compensation Program for Abuse Victims; Revised State Budget
CA Dioceses Announce New Compensation Program for Abuse Victims
Catholic bishops in California today announced the establishment of a new compensation program that will be available to any person who has been sexually abused as a minor by diocesan priests of the participating dioceses, no matter when that abuse might have occurred.
The new Independent Compensation Program for Victim-Survivors of Sexual Abuse of Minors by Priests is independent from Church control. Kenneth R. Feinberg and Camille S. Biros, nationally known mediators and private compensation program administrators, have been working with the California bishops since last November to design and administer the program.
The program will be overseen by an independent oversight board that includes former Governor Gray Davis and business leader and former Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, Maria Contreras-Sweet.
Feinberg and Biros are running similar abuse compensation programs covering Catholic dioceses in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Colorado.
The California program announced today will include the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the Dioceses of Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, Orange, and Fresno. Together, these dioceses comprise more than 10 million Catholics, or about 80 percent of the state's Catholic population.
A program website is being finalized and there will be a forthcoming announcement by Feinberg and Biros on the program launch. A draft Protocol and Frequently Asked Questions are available. They will be finalized prior to the program launch.
UPDATE: "Seal of Confession" Amended
Senate Bill 360, the bill making its way through the legislature that had attempted to eliminate the "seal of confession," was amended in the Senate Appropriations Committee yesterday and is on its way to the Senate Floor. The CCC is waiting to review the new language contained in the bill but is cautiously optimistic that it now protects the sanctity of the confessional.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Action Alerts and sent emails to lawmakers. While the CCC is still waiting for the release of the new language, we are confident that your letters were taken into consideration into adopting amendments over the bill's original proposal.
The original bill proposed to eliminate the penitential communication exemption when it comes to child sexual abuse. The rite of confession is one of the most sacrosanct of Catholic beliefs and penitents rely on this unbreakable guarantee to freely confess and seek reconciliation with God. A priest who breaks the seal is automatically excommunicated (Canon 1388).
In this piece, Archbishop José H. Gomez explained, "SB 360's sponsor makes a sweeping claim that "the clergy-penitent privilege has been abused on a large scale, resulting in the unreported and systemic abuse of thousands of children across multiple denominations and faiths."
"That is simply not true. Hearings on the bill have not presented a single case — in California or anywhere else — where this kind of crime could have been prevented if a priest had disclosed information he had heard in confession," Archbishop Gomez said.
In an op-ed on wordonfire.com, Bishop Robert Barron explained, "Since the canon law of the Church stipulates that the conscious violation of the seal of confession results in automatic excommunication, every priest, under this new law, would be threatened with prosecution and possible imprisonment on the one hand or formal exclusion from the body of Christ on the other. And does anyone doubt that, if this law is enacted, attempts will be made to entrap priests, effectively placing them in this impossible position?"
Stay with the CCC as we review the amended language of the bill when it is released in the coming days.
Gov. Newsom released his revised state budget last week, showing major gains for tax credits for low-income earners, homeless programs, restorative justice pilot programs, and funding for two free years of community college tuition for first-time students.
The revised budget would triple the California Earned Income Tax Credit (CalEITC) and expand eligibility to cover roughly another three million households. The CCC is working to make tax-paying low-income immigrant families with federally assigned Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) eligible for the credit as well.
The budget, through SB 678 (Glazer, D – Orinda), would also fund three restorative justice pilot programs over the course of five years at a cost of $25 million. These programs would put victims first and help transform those who have committed crimes to reduce our reliance on mass incarceration.
The Governor is taking advantage of additional revenue to put his stamp on education. He proposes significantly more funding for early childhood education and child care — including $31.4 million to add 10,000 new preschool slots for low-income 4-year-olds in 2020. Additionally, $50 million is allocated for establishing Child Savings Accounts to prepare for college access. To help recruit and retain qualified teachers in school districts with high rates of under‑prepared teachers, the May Revision includes $89.8 to provide loan assumptions (repayments) for newly credentialed teachers to work in high-need schools for at least four years. Two free years of community college for first time, full time students is also accounted for in the budget.
Additionally, Newsom's budget adds an extra $150 million in grants for communities to build programs that help the homeless, bringing the total available for those efforts to $650 million.
Bills have until today to pass their respective Appropriations Committees and head to the floor. The Senate is currently considering 350 fiscal bills while the Assembly is reviewing 750.
Stay tuned to the CCC as lawmakers will continue budget negotiations before the June 15 deadline to pass a final budget for the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

George Michael Quotes
The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit.

Comments on: "George Michael Quotes: The media has affected everybody's consciousness much more than most people will admit."
Quotes by George Michael
You can't imagine what it's like playing to people who have been loyal to you for 25 years and haven't seen you for 15.
There is no such thing as a reluctant star.
The fact I had my father as an adversary was such a powerful tool to work with. I subconsciously fought him to the degree that I drove me to be one of the most successful musician in the world.
The '90s were a bit of a disaster for me in so many ways. On a personal level, I don't think I could have toured. Also, I had some physical problems with my back that are now sorted and I just wasn't in the right state of mind.
Stars are almost always people that want to make up for their own weaknesses by being loved by the public and I'm no exception to that.
My ego is sated.

France investigates auction house staff for theft
By RFI Issued on 06-08-2010 Modified 06-08-2010 to 15:38
Drouot's Auction house in Paris in 1852 Parisavant
Police are investigating whether the staff association at France's premier auction house conspired to steal major artworks worth hundreds of thousands of euros, officials said Friday.
The Union des commissionaires de l'Hôtel des Ventes Drouot, representing 110 commissioners at the Hôtel Drouot auction house in Paris, was placed under judicial investigation on 21 July for conspiracy, receiving stolen goods and organised theft, a judicial source told the AFP news agency Friday.
Last December, around two dozen of the so-called "Red Collars" were arrested on suspicion of a string of thefts over the years. Police recovered diamonds, a painting by Gustave Courbet, a Marc Chagall lithograph and a Pablo Picasso sketch.
The commissioners have their nickname because of their uniforms. They are also known as the "Savoyards" after the Alpine region where the all-male organisation of stock managers and delievery crews are recruited.
They oversee their own recruitment whereby each new member reportedly has to pay for a 50,000-euro bond which he can sell on to a successor when he retires. They have no internal hierarchy and select daily tasks by casting lots.
Drouot is the most prestigious of the Parisian auction houses, selling millions of euros worth of art and antiques every year, and the commissioners had operated a closed shop in the store rooms since the 19th century.
In 1860, when Napoleon III added the former County of Savoy to his French Empire, he gave Savoyard migrants living in Paris a monopoly on art-handling.
Meanwhile, a Degas and two Toulouse-Lautrec paintings were stolen from a home in the upmarket Neuilly area in the suburbs of Paris, according to reports. Thieves broke in as the 80 year-old resident was away on holiday.

Ian Ross is the author of the Twilight of Empire series. The sixth and final novel in the series, Triumph in Dust, is out in hardback now.
After six books, and close to three quarters of a million words, the 'Twilight of Empire' series is at an end. The publication of the sixth and final novel, Triumph in Dust, brings to a conclusion the story of the series' protagonist, Aurelius Castus, and his adventures in the Roman army of the 4th century AD. Needless to say, it's a strange feeling.
Eileen Battersby's absurd death, in a freak road accident at the side of her beloved daughter Nadia, is a significant loss to literary culture in Ireland and beyond.
I've met very few creative writers who had anything like Eileen's all-consuming passion for literature (and music, art and architecture). She read more, and more widely and generously, than any other cultural journalist I have ever encountered. Literature for her was a devouring vocation, and she would read all day and most of the night, distracted only by deadlines and the need to feed the animals she gathered around her and who were for her as important and loving as her human friends.
Rachael Blok's debut novel Under the Ice is an emotional crime-thriller set in the 12-day lead up to Christmas, when the idyllic Cathedral city of St Albans is devastated by news of a young girl's drowning. Katie Smart caught up with Rachael to find out more about the journey and her experience taking the 3-month Curtis Brown Creative (CBC) novel writing course in London back in 2016.
You worked on Under the Ice during your 3-month novel writing course with CBC. How did your time on the course impact the way you wrote your novel?
In the first few weeks of the course my word count halved. The focus on how to edit your writing means looking at your work as a reader and a writer. There's nothing like having 15 people discuss your writing to really clarify what's working!
I realised writing a novel is a balancing act: character, plot, tone, description etc. Some characters had to go, and whole sections of description I'd crafted disappeared. I finished knowing that reading, editing, re-reading is a huge part of the process.
Kathy Wang is the author of Family Trust, out from Head of Zeus on 13th December. Family Trust follows the Huangs, a family of Chinese-Americans living in Silicon Valley, through the triumphs and great failures of life, love and the American Dream. By turns laugh-out-loud funny and remarkably poignant, Family Trust is a total joy to read. Here Kathy Wang introduces the book and why she was drawn to write it.
I started writing Family Trust on January 1, 2017. At the time I was at home, on hiatus from my tech career. I'd worked for many years, most recently as a product manager, in Silicon Valley and gone to Harvard for my MBA; now, with my first child just over a year old, I was also pregnant with my second, and my days, which used to be spent at the office, were now centered around meal preparation and library story hour and toddler playgrounds.

I live in a village in Wiltshire and have always wondered what would happen if a stranger arrived off the train from London, walked up to our front door and said she lived in our house. She appears to be in a fugue state, suffering from amnesia – something that I think we all live in fear of. Throw in the number of psychiatric patients each year who, tragically, go on to kill after being released into the community; a widespread suspicion of Russia's continued covert activities in Wiltshire; and a local journalist haunted by a girlfriend from his distant past and you have the inspiration for a thriller that explores multiple and frightening explanations for the woman's mysterious arrival.
It's our stop on the Gallows Court blog tour and our moment to celebrate Martin Edward's brilliant fast-paced and twisty thriller.
LONDON, 1930 Sooty, sulphurous, and malign: no woman should be out on a night like this.

To Scotland Yard's embarrassment, she solved the Chorus Girl Murder, and now she's on the trail of another killer.
We are so excited that Forget My Name is coming out on 4th October! Forget My Name is the sensational thriller written by J.S. Monroe, the bestselling author of Find Me.
