I M Rogers Joinery Limited founded in Ampthill Business Park. Double glazing is likely one of the simplest methods to insulate your house and reduce down your vitality bills.
Nevertheless, if installing double glazing is the only enchancment you make, and you give no consideration to other areas of your private home where warmth could be misplaced, then you will not get the maximum profit out of your investment.
Double glazing might be probably the most expensive issues you are able to do to help insulate your property nevertheless it is likely one of the most effective. A excessive proportion of heat loss in a house is thru home windows, as glass is an effective warmth conductor.
Heat can be lost by the roof of your home, and insulating any loft space can also be advisable if you wish to save money in your heating bills. As with double glazing, grants and different monetary incentives may be available for loft insulation and it is a comparatively straightforward job to do.
You probably have any doors or windows remaining that you haven't changed with double glazing, then be sure that all gaps around the edges are sealed. Sash home windows may be particularly draughty and you need to ensure the gap between the sliding panes is sealed if they aren't going to be opened over the winter. In fact, alternative double glazed sash windows wouldn't have this problem. Call I M Rogers Joinery Limited for guidance.
When you have double pores and skin partitions (2 layers of bricks with a niche in between them) then cavity wall insulation will enormously reduce heat loss. Though there could also be grants accessible for this, it's an costly job.
There are also smaller jobs that you can do yourself, that value less cash but nonetheless improve the power efficiency of your home.
When you have any doorways or windows remaining that you have not changed with double glazing, then guantee that all gaps across the edges are sealed. Sash windows might be significantly draughty and you must make sure the hole between the sliding panes is sealed if they aren't going to be opened over the winter. In fact, alternative double glazed sash windows would not have this problem.
Gaps between floorboards and skirting boards needs to be sealed, as these may cause draughts. There are a selection of merchandise you should utilize for this, from plastic inserts to mastic-sort treatments.
Finally, good old-fashioned draught excluders on the backside of your doorways can even help a little.
These other methods to insulate your private home will help, however when you really wish to see a marked enchancment, along with the opposite benefits it brings, then double glazing actually is essential.

Human Work In the Age of Smart Machines
By Jamie Merisotis
We are living through a time of upheaval and social unrest, with increasing threats to global health, democratic institutions, and the world's economies. But behind the alarming headlines is another issue that must be quickly addressed: the role of workers is being transformed—and often rendered obsolete—by automation and artificial intelligence.
As Jamie Merisotis, the president and CEO of Lumina Foundation, argues in Human Work In the Age of Smart Machines, we can—and must—rise to this challenge by preparing to work alongside smart machines doing that which only humans can: thinking critically, reasoning ethically, interacting interpersonally, and serving others with empathy.
In Human Work, Merisotis, author of the award-winning 2015 book America Needs Talent, offers a roadmap for the large-scale, radical changes we must make in order to find abundant and meaningful work in the 21st century. His vision centers on developing our unique capabilities as humans through a lifetime of learning opportunities that are easy to navigate, deliver fair results, and offer a broad range of credentials—from college degrees to occupational certifications. By shifting long-held ideas about how the workforce should function and expanding our concept of work, he argues that we can harness the population's potential, encourage a deeper sense of community, and erase a centuries-long system of inequality.
As the headlines blink red, now is the time to redesign education, training, and the workplace as a whole. Yes, many jobs will be lost to technology, but if we promote people's deeper potential, engaging human work will always be available.

"HUMAN WORK reminds us that no matter how technologically advanced our culture becomes, we will always need human morality and will require human beings to make ethical decisions. Jamie Merisotis's persuasive new book is a call not to abandon our ethical intelligence in favor of an artificial one." —James Martin, Jesuit Priest, Editor at Large, America magazine, and author of the New York Times bestseller JESUS: A PILGRIMAGE?
"Jamie Merisotis takes concepts too often used to justify exclusion—credentials, skills, and technology—and repurposes them to provide an ambitious but pragmatic blueprint for dismantling long-standing systemic disparities. HUMAN WORK is required reading for anyone committed to the future success of our increasingly diverse nation." —Spencer Overton, Professor of Law, The George Washington University, and President, The Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, America's Black Think Tank
"Artificial intelligence and the age of robots and 'smart machines' are often seen as threats—which could make modern economies even less fair, and further drain decency and connectedness from social life. This book is a practical guide to a more desirable human and technological future." —James Fallows, National Correspondent for the Atlantic and co-author of the bestseller OUR TOWNS: A 100,000-MILE JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF AMERICA
"As a leader who understands that talent is at the very heart of our national economic success, Jamie Merisotis insightfully explains how we must transform ourselves into a society of lifelong learners and build a new human work infrastructure.

"He was a simple and unostentatious king. He did not employ darbans (gate-keepers). At the time of meals, every one who happened to be in the company, shared the meal with him. He did not sit on the throne in the majlis and forbade the amirs from standing. In the Darbar-i-'Am (Public audience) also he did not sit on a throne. All of them sat on fine carpets and coloured floor coverings. He addressed every one of them as masnad-i-a'li (exalted lordship) , If by chance any amir was offended , he tried his best to placate him. He would got to his house , take off his sword from his waist belt and place it before him and apologize saying : "if you do not consider me worthy of kingship , you appoint some one else to do this job and give me some other assignment".
1- According to Tarikh-i-Ferishta (written in 1612 AD), when he captured the treasures of the kings of Delhi, he distributed the spoils among his soldiers and took for himself only a proportionate share . The author of the Tarikh-i-Daudi says that whatever came to him --wealth, property or new parganas --he distributed amongst the soldiers and did not retain any thing for himself. He did not accumulate any treasures.
2- According to Waqiat-i-Mushtaqi (written in 1572 AD), he did not maintain any personal guards. While this could have been in conformity with Pashtun traditions, it shows his confidence in himself and his popularity. Sikandar Lodi had to appoint a special guard for his protection at night. Only in a palace without a guard could the following incident, as recorded by Waqiat-i-Muhstaqi, take place : "A mullah went to Bahlul 's private chamber. The Sultan was just proceeding to bathroom ; the mullah caught hold of the Sultan's loin cloth and asked him to listen to his request and grant it".
3- His food was not prepared in his palace but was sent, in ration, by the nobles. Ferishta says :" His food was not prepared at home nor did he ride a horse from the royal stables. Every day one of the nobles sent him his meal and similarly at the time of the riding , one of them supplied him with a mount". This practice must have been intended to give a sense of participation in the administration to his Pashtun nobles.
4- "He did not sit on the throne in the presence of nobles and forbade them from standing" [Waqiat-i-Mushtaqi]. Equality is key component of Pashtunwali.
6- "He never did any thing contrary to the sharia. From the very beginning of his reign, he recited five daily prayers, and used to go to the mosque on Friday for congregational prayers". [ Waqiat-i-Mushtaqi and Tarikh-i-Daudi].
7- "If some one fell ill , he went in person and attended upon him. He also used to go personally to express condolence" [ Waqiat-i-Mushtaqi]. This sense of equality is inherent in Pashtuns.
What is more to his credit , he was no mere militarist or warlord . He was a man of humane spirit and wanted to promote public welfare by ensuring law and order , administering justice and refraining from burdening his people with insupportable taxes. To the poor and indigent , he was always kind and generous. In short , he was a fairly popular and successful monarch.

Pinterest overthrows LinkedIn, Google+
In just a few short months, a new name in social media has taken everyone by storm.
In a world where everyone believed there was no room for a social platform next to Facebook and Twitter, there's a surprising startup that has made its mark in a huge way.
Or perhaps we should say, "pinned" its mark. With 17.8 million unique visitors in February, piqued interest from none other than President Obama, and a seemingly never-ending rise in media attention, Pinterest is now the third most popular social network, according to an Experian report.
The report looked at social platforms in 2011 and showed just how much the social landscape has changed, and continues to change. Pinterest was perhaps the most interesting of the case studies in the report.
So, in a matter of months, Pinterest leapfrogged ahead of well-established titans like LinkedIn and Tumblr, and insanely funded and marketed platforms like Google+.
Back in December, Pinterest was ranked at the #10 spot in the list of top 10 social networks. It took just a few months to jump all the way to #3. And the good news for Pinterest – it has a marketer-friendly design from the outset. There's no question about how to monetize the site given its focus.
Perhaps one of the greatest stories about Pinterest is the way it defied the odds. No doubt countless entrepreneurial minds looked at the social world and assumed they were just too late to make the next Facebook, but Pinterest proves that no matter how huge and competitive the market you're trying to get into may be, if you build something that offers true value and differentiated features, people will notice.

RECENT HEADLINES FROM THE GLOBAL INDYMEDIA NETWORK:
Turks protest killing of an Armenian serviceman
Istanbul Indymedia featured protests over the killing of an Armenian serviceman in the Turkish army. On April 24, 2011, twenty-four-year old Armenian serviceman Sevak Sevak Sahin was shot by a Turkish soldier aboard a ship. On February 28, 2013, the trial over the killing began, with conflicting and changing assessments over Sevak's death, particularly as to if the killing was accidental. Data cited by Istanbul Indymedia from 2002 through 2012 said that 818 people were killed in the Turkish army in what were deemed accidents or suicides, particularly those of Kurdish and Armenian heritage, communities who have historically faced repression in Turkey.

Nottingham Activists Target "Workfare" Profiteers
Nottingham Indymedia featured a report of a protest against two so-called "workfare" companies in Nottingham, England. Quoting from the feature: "On Monday 4th March, precarious workers, students, the unemployed, squatters, and others turned up outside the Nottingham offices of Ingeus and A4e for a demonstration called by Nottingham Against Workfare and Stop G8 Notts. A "Workfare ain't fair" banner was unfurled and hundreds of leaflets entitled "Workfare is class warfare" were handed out to shoppers, as well as those employed and harassed by A4e and Ingeus…A4e [is] one of the UK's biggest workfare companies they are being paid billions of pounds to bully people into unpaid [labor] for supermarkets, charities and high street shops. A4e's workfare contract means they get paid £45m. In the first 10 months of their contract, almost 115,000 people were referred to A4e under the Work [Program]. Of those just 4,000 have managed to obtain jobs that lasted 13 weeks or more – the length of time the government determines as a successful outcome. So far in Nottingham different groups and individuals have leafleted job [centers], held pickets outside shops that use workfare, and private companies who administrate the welfare industry such as Atos, Ingeus and A4e have had their buildings sabotaged by unknown individuals with hammers, stickers, and glue."

LA-Based Occupy Offshoot Protests Bank of America over unjust foreclosures
LA Indymedia featured a recent protest organized by an offshoot group of Occupy Wall Street against a major national bank over unjust foreclosures. Quoting from the feature: "Occupy Fights Foreclosures activists and homeowners gathered in front of Bank of America branch on North Vermont Street [in Los Angeles] at 12:00pm on Wendesday, February 20. The activists and homeowners held their signs and marched in a circle chanting "B.O.A how many homes did you steal today…. Bank of America, Bad for America". The demonstration lasted for about two hours. Josephina Perez, a recent victim of fraudulent foreclosure, came to participate with her 3-year-old grandson, Jesus and her husband, Jose Perez. Mrs. Perez said that she was trying to modify her loan with Bank of America, but Bank of America repeatedly claimed that they never received her paperwork. Eventually, BOA foreclosed on her house, and Mrs. Perez and her family, including two small children, Jesus, 3 and Nalanie, 5 were forced to live on the streets. Sherry Hernandez, another victim of a bank's fraudulent practices (in her case the bank is Countriwide), also came to participate. She is still fighting to keep her home."

Georgia Prison Hunger Strikers Speak Out
Atlanta Indymedia posted a feature headlined: "Georgia Prison Hunger Strikers Speak Out", dated March 16, 2013. In June 2012, ten prisoners at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson, Georgia went on hunger strike protesting mistreatment and poor conditions. Five of the participants wrote statements of their experiences related to the strike, which were then posted on Atlanta Indymedia. Yahya Jihad Ali, also known as Johnnie Grant, one of the five participants wrote, "My decision to partake in the Hunger Strike movement was based solely on the purpose of having a voice. Being locked down 24 hours a day with little-to-no human contact is akin to being invisible. It is almost synonomous with non-existence." The hunger strike marked a continuation of a December 2010 strike at the same venue where prisoners refused to work to leave their cells. Bruce Dixon of the Black Agenda Report said that "Georgia prison officials retaliated, first by cutting off heat and hot water to some of the buildings, locking them down, and eventually with a wave of savage retaliatory beatings across multiple prisons."

Chicago Marks 10th Anniversary of legendary Lake Shore Drive protest for peace
Chicago Indymedia posted a feature on the 10th anniversary of a legendary Chicago protest. Quoting from the feature: "On March 20th, 2003, more than 18,000 antiwar protesters marched against the escalation of the war in Iraq, in so doing overtaking control of the six-lane highway of Lake Shore Drive. The protest garnered international attention at the time. Some believe that the coverage embarrassed the local administration, who then ordered police to block the march, doing so at the intersection of Michigan and Oak and arresting its participants. The result was the largest mass-arrest in Chicago history (about 860 arrested), with more arrests in one evening than in a week of the vaunted 1968 Democratic National Convention protests. In subsequent years, activists commemorated the 2003 protest by trying to resume the march down Michigan Avenue, but again facing local government resistance. In 2006, activists finally won the right to do so after three years of struggle, but they continued to face resistance by the city. Activists also saw foot-dragging in the courts when activists sued the city over the suppression of the rights of free speech and freedom of assembly; a $6.2 million settlement was reached nearly nine years after the Lake Shore Drive takeover. For the 10th anniversary, Chicagoans marched in downtown Chicago and held a forum on the war and the aftermath, excerpts of which are included in this episode.

Ștefan I. Nenițescu (n. 8 octombrie 1897, București — d. octombrie 1979, București) a fost critic literar și de artă, jurnalist literar și de artă, publicist, poet, scriitor, traducător și estetician român, dar și consilier economic al României la Haga.

Biografie

Educație și carieră
Născut în București, Ștefan i-a avut ca părinți pe poetul Ioan S. Nenițescu și soția sa Elena (născută Ștefan). A urmat Universitatea Sapienza din Roma din anul 1920, după care a urmat, la Universitatea din București, departmentul de literatură și filozofie. A început cariera sa universitară ca asistent de profesor universitar și a ajuns la poziția de profesor asociat la aceeași Universitate. Din punct de vedere politic, Nenițescu a devenit, la început, secretar de presă, pentru ca ulterior să servească ca un consilier economic al Legației României de la Haga.

Operă
Prima dată când Ștefan I. Nenițescu a intrat în publicistică a fost în 1915, cu un articol despre William Shakespeare, care a apărut în Noua revistă română. Prima sa carte de poezii, Denii (1919), a fost urmată de volumele Vrajă (1923) și Ode italice (1925). Singurul său volum de teatru a fost Trei mistere (1922).

Începând cu anul 1924, Nenițescu a scris pentru revista Gândirea, fiind, de asemenea, un membru fondator al PEN Club. A contribuit cu critică de poezie și de artă la Convorbiri Literare, Ideea europeană, Vremea, Universul literar, Viața Românească, Adevărul și Arta plastică. În 1925, Nenițescu a publicat tratatul Istoria artei ca filosofie a istoriei. Un alt aspect literar al său a fost cea de traducător din italiană în română, traducând din Benedetto Croce (Estetica, 1922) și din Niccolò Machiavelli (comedia în 5 acte Mătrăguna, 1926).

Stil literar
Inițial, amprenta poeziei lui Nenițescu fusese discursivă și religioasă, "aliniindu-se" cu stilul curentului de la Gândirea, cunoscut ca gândirism. În timp, versurile sale au devenit din ce în ce mai ermetice, culminân cu volumul antologic Ani (1973). Texte publicate în anii '40 și '50 dezvăluie versul liric intelectualizat de natură eminamente clasică.

Statement From Venice Organizations regarding the Sheriff on Venice Boardwalk
Activism, Crime/Police, Venice Beach, Venice Beach Homeless People
Housing is the key for people living on the Venice Boardwalk, not criminalization and threats
Above – Tony Vera's excellent investigation of the police and deputies activities on Venice Beach.
This week, the LA County Sheriff and others unfamiliar with Venice and its unhoused residents held press events on the Venice Boardwalk calling for the forced displacement and criminalization of unhoused people in order to "clean up" the Boardwalk. Time and time again, this approach has proven to fail in Los Angeles, and cause harm to people already dealing with crisis, trauma, and the extreme lack of affordable housing across our region and especially on the Westside. While the Sheriff claimed his team would engage in outreach for a few weeks before clearing the area by the 4th of July, his outreach team is not connected to the housing and service organizations in Venice and there are nowhere near enough resources, unfortunately, to house everyone in three weeks. Additionally, outreach connected to threats of enforcement and displacement only further isolates most people who have been pushed around from the streets to shelters to jail and back to the streets for years.
Everyone can see the housing and humanitarian crisis in our neighborhood and in our region. While exacerbated by the COVID pandemic, it is the result of decades of disinvestment in affordable housing and other critical resources, systemic racism in land use policies, housing, employment and mass incarceration policies, and growing income and wealth inequality. Not one politician, one law enforcement official, one non-profit, one neighborhood group is going to suddenly have the ability to solve this crisis because it's summer and people think that tourists, visitors and local housed and unhoused people are unable to share the beautiful and inclusive space of the Boardwalk and Venice Beach. We actually can share the space, be kind to unhoused neighbors, continue the local outreach and street medicine efforts that support people until they are housed, and put more resources into permanent housing solutions for folks on our streets.
Our collective community will work to provide emergency services, secure, preserve and build more housing, and stand in solidarity to protect the rights of unhoused folks, and hope that anyone interested in helping alleviate homelessness in Venice and beyond joins the effort from a human-centered, social justice framework.

Accounting professor Fred Phillips.
Trying to be difficult
Easy is not always better.
Kris Foster
For accounting professor Fred Phillips, that was a startling realization. A recent study by Phillips has shown that making accounting problems simple does not help students as much as making those same problems difficult.
"When I first started teaching, I thought my role as a teacher was to take difficult topics and make them easy," said Phillips, who has been teaching in the Edwards School of Business for the past 20 years. "While there is some immediate value in that, it is fleeting—it degrades in memory over time."
By making students struggle with problems—introducing designed difficulty into problem solving—Phillips has discovered that students have fared better on topics over the long term.
"When students have to really think and evaluate what they have to do, this desirable difficulty contributes to meaningful learning," explained Phillips, a recipient of the 3M National Teaching Fellowship, the highest teaching honour in Canada.
To gain a better understanding of this concept, Phillips recruited 170 business students to take part in the study outside of class.
One set of students was given a series of accounting problems in successive order, each concept building on the next: essentially they learned "A," then "B" then "C" in a grouped pattern (think practicing a sequence of problems as AAABBBCCC).
The other group received interleaved problems where A, B and C were presented in a non-grouped order (ABCABCABC). This group did not practice A, B or C in successive order and students took longer to solve the problems.
"The theory is that struggle leads to longer- term connections in memory that won't degrade as much over time," said Phillips.
Immediately following the practice problems, Phillips tested both groups on the concepts. The first group, Phillips explained, could do the problems faster and scored higher (by about eight per cent). Phillips tested the students once more a week later. This time the second group came out on top by about 15 per cent. Interestingly enough, the first group's score dropped significantly compared to the previous scores (a 27 point decline), while the second group's score dropped on average by only four per cent.
"Desirable difficulty contributes to meaningful learning," said Phillips, adding that he has a hunch that the difference would dissipate with time.
"The real challenge is to help students see the value in struggling, failing and overcoming. It's challenging for professors as well because we are evaluated by students on how easy we make their learning feel. It's not intuitive for students or instructors to value learning difficulties. It doesn't feel good."
Phillips said he reminds himself "our job is to help students overcome difficulties. We need to think carefully about the hurdles students struggle with and making those hurdles an intentional part of the instructional process. Let students struggle, but be there to help."

Flaky pastry is great, don't get me wrong. Flaky pastry on your face with foundation on top; not so delicious.
Thats where this duo comes in! Since both of these are targeted towards anti-aging, they do an incredible job of hydrating and plumping the skin as well as providing a smooth layer for makeup to adhere to.
You all know that i'm not a fan of primers and i generally forget to mention this one when people ask because to me, its skincare. The consistency of this is somewhere between a balm, a serum and a primer and is perfect for a full-coverage foundation base or just to protect your skin from the winter elements.
This contains the anti-aging powerhouse, Co-Enzyme Q10 to help smooth out fine lines and imperfections as well as being formulated without the "inflammatory five"; Gluten, Mineral Oil, Fragrance, Parabens and Talc.
I apply the smallest amount of this colorless primer with fingertips to areas i know tend to get flaky or dry, so the cheeks, forehead between the brows and also the nose (especially awesome for that flaky head-cold nose). Although the price of this might be off-putting for some, you really need the smallest amount and might only need it for those full-coverage foundation days.
If you're unlucky enough to be in the scaly eye club, this primer can really help retain the integrity of the skin in that area while providing a lovely smooth base for concealers, primers or shadows.
The colorless (very slightly balmy) cream is easily absorbed by the eye area, leaving skin plump and hydrated without any residue to mess with your makeup application. This one is also formulated without those "inflammatory five" so its perfectly gentle for the eye area.
I like to apply it around the whole eye area, not just the under-eye. Just a tiny pump pressed between your ring fingers and applied by tapping it into the area provides a hydrating base that lasts all day.
So clearly, i love these products for use under full-coverage makeup especially but they also provide a beautiful natural glow when worn alone and help to keep your skin hydrated and calm regardless of your next step.
What are some of your favorite winter-time products?


GIANFRANCO ZOLA is preparing for talks with West Ham's owners after the latest twist in the club's disastrous financial situation has threatened to leave them in turmoil.
Zola was infuriated after co-owner David Sullivan used the eve of tonight's game against Birmingham to suggest that everyone at the club should take a 25 per cent pay cut in the summer.
Sullivan believes the step would help West Ham avoid the threat of administration, yet Zola was astounded he chose to make his announcement through the media before discussing the subject with him.
Sullivan and partner David Gold took on the club's £110 million debt when they arrived and, during recent weeks, have filled hundreds of column inches with their big plans for the club. The latest comments, however, have not gone down so well.
Zola has been quick to respond . He said: "It would have been better for this article to have been done at another time and maybe to talk to us first before talking to a newspaper. That's my feeling about it.
"They can talk about players as much as they want. But when an article comes before a match like this, I'm not happy about that. I don't think it's any good for the whole team.
The problems behind the scenes have completely overshadowed the match against Birmingham, the club Gold and Sullivan owned previously.
Zola's salary is about £1.9m a year, while of the players, top earners Scott Parker and Kieron Dyer are on £65,000 a week.
Sullivan, however, has been outspoken about the need for a complete financial overhaul.
"Things have to change at West Ham," he said. "We want to spend the money on putting the best team possible on the pitch.
Zola defended his salary by saying that he is not at Upton Park for financial reasons. This is his first job as a manager and he is desperate to prove he can be as successful in the dugout as he was as an exciting forward with Chelsea and Italy.
"I can say I'm not here for the money and I can remind you that, when I signed a contract, I didn't even know how much I was going to earn," he said.
"I came here because I had a plan and a project and I liked what I was going to do.
"After a while the club called me in and proposed me a new contract. It's not about money, it's about working for something positive. I enjoy working for this club. The money was something that came afterwards.
Zola has a reputation as one of football's nice guys. It is a side of his personality which some critics feel may work against him as a manager.
But he is adamant that he will not walk away from West Ham or change his attitude. "We have been dealing with one problem after another here," he said. "You sort out one and then another one comes along. But that's OK.
"I am what I am and I trust and believe in what I do. It can produce good results.

After more than 1 year of pandemic, infection by the new coronavirus is still a serious public health problem, and its pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical repercussions are still not fully elucidated. Recent studies have suggested that pregnancy may be a risk factor for new coronavirus infection when compared to non-pregnant women of the same age, and is associated with an increased number of preterm deliveries and caesarean sections, most often secondary to worsening symptoms maternal. We present the case of a pregnant woman whose fetus had structural and cardiac rhythm alterations related to maternal coronavirus infection. The objective of this report is to alert the reader to the possibilities of cardiac alterations in children of mothers contaminated by SARS-CoV-2 and the need for early diagnosis and adequate treatment when necessary.

A Review for the SMOK TFV8 Big Baby LIGHT Edition – I know a handful of Vapers that use the SMOK Big Baby SMOK Big Baby exclusively. I can give them other tanks to try, like the Uwell Valyrian or even the new TFV12 Prince, but these fine folks always find themselves back to the Big Baby Tank.
When the LIGHT Edition initially shipped, a Black, Stainless, and 7-Color (Rainbow) were available. Today, SMOK has added a gold, gun-metal, and blue to the lineup. Next week, SMOK will add green, red, and purple to the team.
It's interesting to note that the TFV8 Big Baby ships with the V8-Baby-X4 Coil preinstalled. The Big Baby LIGHT Edition ships with the V8-Baby-Q2 Coil preinstalled.
Here's the deal; I suggest you read our review for the SMOK TFV8 Big Baby Sub-Ohm Tank, just to get a fuller sense of this hugely popular tank.
The TFV8 Big Baby LIGHT Edition performs the same as the Big Baby, comes with one extra prebuilt coil and minus one RBA. Vendors have discounted the Big Baby, but you'll use the same Coils and pay accordingly.
If the question you're asking yourself is something like "Do I want or need the LED lights?", I can answer part of that question for you. No, you don't "need" the LED lights 99.999% of the time, but you know, I vape a lot in the dark. At home, or in a club that allows vaping, and that bit of light shining while I take a pull on the drip tip has come in handy a couple of the times. Is it a gimmick?
I love my set of Big Baby LIGHT Tanks, especially the Gun-Metal finish, and the Blue finish.
With a juice capacity of 5mL, with a wide range of Coils, and with wicked performance pumping out huge clouds and true fidelity flavor, the Big Baby LIGHT Edition scores….

What You Need to Do About What Is Free Fall Physics Before It Is Too Late
But other varieties of expenses aren't routinely approved in many businesses. Currency exchange gets unfavorable. But most home business owners truly do want to remain at home. For the large part, almost all of these fly-by-night lenders or company loan brokers are just following your money, not in getting you the money you must start or grow your organization. Second your ability to pay back the loan via cash flow.
This set of articles is about how the towers fell, thus we are getting a little off track, but molten iron pouring from the side of the building best essay writing service is a tiny hard to pass over without mention. They like the notion of being a true one-person shop. See if you're able to explain the reason why they are sometimes not true (some are true sometimes, while some aren't true at all). I still had enough time with my kids, which was among the reasons I wished to work from house in the very first spot. We now know this isn't true.
The neural network won't ever learn how to predict the other faces. Among the most dangerous details of the passion trap is the subtle, illusory way it requires hold. If you would like position at a particular time, pick equation 1. In the very first area of the ride, force is put on the car to lift it to the cap of the free-fall tower. Specifically, we're likely to examine the important things you will need to know to address problems involving objects in free fall.
The What Is Free Fall Physics Game
More elaborate problems will appear within the next section. And that isn't in any way unusual because there was structural resistance that was given in this specific case. We can resolve it by altering our default anchor box configurations. This isn't a coincidental outcome. Enter the known values where we've retained extra vital figures as this is an intermediate outcome.

The Key to Successful What Is Free Fall Physics
There's a good deal of overlap between kinematics and energy issues, so check Energy and Momentum problems to find out if you may get a helpful example there. It is also feasible your problem is better solved using electricity and momentum. There's more than 1 way to start solving this dilemma. If that's the case, use it to fix the issue.
So I give them 2 more minutes to finish their towers and let them talk. I ask you merely do 1 with a comprehensive explanation so that I can finish up. You will undoubtedly recognize that I've not answered my leading question, but that is going to have to wait. The means to do it is to consider which answer you desire.
It's normal that people lose 50 to 100 hairs per day. Compute its highest possible altitude and the time that it can take to reach expert-writers.net that height. The sudden shift in slope indicates the sudden onset of absolutely free fall. What's the stones displacement in this moment. We've talked about the quantity of gain in the velocity in free fall. An object dropped at the very top of a drop tube.
A rock is shot up vertically upward from the border of the cap of the building. This type of sensor can be utilized to measure or monitor people. It isn't important whether the block of wood weighs 10 kg or 1,000,000 kg, we'll secure the exact same solution to this problem. The growth in speed contributes to an increase in the quantity of air resistance.
What Is Free Fall Physics Features
We see the results of gravity on vertical motion. It is about the plug-number-into-equation skill. Now we'll learn to discover the distance taken during the motion. Projectile motion is a traditional category of free-fall issues. Falling objects form an intriguing category of motion issues.
In addition, I want students to look carefully at the picture and I ask them how they know that it is accelerating. In other words, therefore we use the symbol for acceleration whatsoever times. 1 thing to notice is an acceleration graph doesn't tell you exactly what the true velocity is, just how it's changing. We'll also explain what's the completely free fall acceleration and the reason why we assume it's constant. This totally free fall acceleration is also referred to as acceleration due to gravity.
Details of What Is Free Fall Physics
Now you know a small bit of calculus, you can observe in what way the equations of motion are derived. To carry out kinematics calculations, all we should do is plug the first conditions into the suitable equation of motion and after that read out the answer. It is crucial to observe that the very first equation utilizes average velocity, whereas the second equation employs the change between the original and last velocity. It is much better to always start with one of the 3 standard equations. The equation that's used to figure distance and velocity is provided below.
Therefore, you must learn how to figure out the force of gravity, and then divide by mass to acquire its acceleration. Galileo's Inclined Plane Experiment Galileo Galilei is believed to be among the fathers of modern-day science because of his extensive research in astronomy and physics. Essentially, we'll be capable of using these miniature thrusters for many missions, Raitses explained. In this kind of motion gravity is the sole factor acting on our objects.
The Ultimate Strategy to What Is Free Fall Physics
Your introduction should use a main source. Here are a few of the findings. Symmetry is apparent in nature in a wide selection of situations.
And oftentimes, another motion parameter can be inferred through a good understanding of some fundamental kinematic principles. Obviously, there might be many different varieties of motion, but for the point of this section you're only accountable for these two. It is about the plug-number-into-equation technique. Obviously, there are several distinctive procedures which can be used, and yours may differ than the one listed here.
Choosing What Is Free Fall Physics Is Simple
Most students can realize that the distances get greater each second so the ball has to be accelerating. This area of the growth cycle lasts from 2 to 6 decades and can continue for as much as 8 decades. Equally important is that a high specific impulse can generate a large enough increase in a satellite's momentum to allow the spacecraft to modify orbitsa feature unavailable on currently orbiting CubeSats. However, you must be cautious with the units. However, you ought to be in a position to cancel the real units to get there at seconds for time.

FRIDAY, JUNE 22 | OPENING NIGHT
DESIGN & THE CITY PUBLIC INSTALLATIONS
Opening: 3 PM - 5 PM
Accessible daily during BDW - 22 to 29 June
BDW18 Parking Lot - Mar Mikhael, Jisr, facing Naggiar
URBAN HIVES
BY NATHALIE HARB
Bees are responsible of the regeneration of our ecosystem, whilst being at risk of extinction.
Beirut gardens have gradually disappeared as a consequence of either war or reconstruction. Many have been erased and transformed into parking lots privately owned.
Urban Hives is a public intervention re-introducing green spaces in parking lots. The project proposes a platform slightly larger than a car, raised on scaffoldings, allowing a car to park underneath it, whilst offering a little garden on its surface with a small section dedicated to urban farming. The low-cost structure is a module that can multiply to become a large communal garden for the local communities, in an attempt to amend the sterile urban landscape of parking lots and raise questions about the possibilities of altering the private sphere by creating within it, public spaces.
Each module is connected to a hive.
POP-UP WATERSCAPE
BY LOOP
Water is an essential element of life and a medium for social development in cities since the beginning of civilization. Yet water, the main reason for our existence, is being pushed out, polluted and sucked dry in most urban environments around the world. We have lost touch with this fundamental element in our urban surroundings and forgotten about its benefits to our collective well-being. In urban landscapes water has the ability to bring people together to cool down and bond with nature and each other. As an inherent aspect of design that is missing in the city of Beirut, LOOP invites everyone to come experience a playful installation that shows the value of water to human interaction and recreation.
SHAME ON US
BY 21DB & DAS SCHARF
An engaging installation that aims to provoke and punish visitors through negative impulses to the five human senses & highlight key moments of inflicting harm to our city, our environment and our planet.
The guest journey is enhanced by entering a vibrant existing public habitat, a natural environment aiming to reconnect guests through the primary sense of community, shared dialogues & storytelling. Enough is enough, Change is in your hands.
Welcome to the place where everything is exactly as it should be.

DESIGN & THE CITY ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSIONS:
DESIGN + GOVERNANCE: FORGING A NEW PUBLIC SECTOR
5 PM - 6:30 PM
Around the world, especially in Western Europe, design has assumed a prominent role in governance and public services. In these contexts, designers develop public services, consult, and train government employees as well as design solutions to social problems. Not only has this move validated design as a serious approach to problem-solving, it has also made for a more efficient and better-serving public sector, especially in urban spaces. The public sector in Lebanon stands to learn a great deal from this model, especially because the collaboration inherent to the design process resonates a great deal with Lebanese culture. In this panel, we will begin the work of putting design and governance into conversation to see how such an approach might yield improved social services, impact political processes, and help community development initiatives

FORUM ON CITIES & DESIGNERS
MIND THE MAP EXHIBITION
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH PUBLIC WORKS STUDIO
Co-curated by Public Works Studio and Beirut Design Week, the Forum on Cities and Designers is a platform where designers engaged with urban issues are invited to critically reflect on their practice. Through an exhibition, panels and workshops, the Forum will focus on questions of representation (tools, methods, politics) and production (positionality, labor, ethics) in design and research.
The Forum departs from a recognition that any urban design activity dialectically engages/produces three social spaces:
First, the disciplinary space of the studio or office, equipped with its particular tools of representation and production. We are referring here to drawings, designs, and decisions made by "experts" (i.e. architects, engineers, designers, government planning officials and others)
Second, the space of the design and planning intervention (its site, immediate, and wider context). This is a space that is continuously evolving through environmental changes, social relations, and access to resources.
Third, the space of the positioned self, namely the designer's positionality within economic, political, professional and social realms. Positionality plays a central role in the designer's relation to his/her site and stakeholders and consequently in how design is approached, thought of and practiced.
The aim of the Forum is to understand design as a practice that is produced by the interaction between these three spaces and the actors that inhabit them respectively. As such, the material presented is a product of the various voices, networks, processes and economies that surround it.
The exhibition features works that revisit the ways designers collect, represent and communicate data. Focused on physical and digital mapping tools and methodologies, the exhibition aims to stimulate critical takes on and conversations about the processes, politics and implications of the representations we produce as designers.

PUBLIC HEARING 1 INSTALLATION
BY JOAN BAZ
CD-R is an investigative audio platform run by Joan Baz probing topics such as memory, displacement and the built environment through voice notes, interviews, collected and produced sounds.
For Beirut Design Week '18, Baz invites us to the first public hearing of CD-R that is the result of a research project on the history of post-civil war car bombs in Lebanon.
DESIGN DOES BEIRUT*. FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE
BY ELISAVA - BARCELONA SCHOOL OF DESIGN & ENGINEERING
Design Does collectively explores how design tackles the challenges faced by society, at times offering improvements and, at others, doing just the opposite. Conceived to transcend the limits of space, time and conventional formats, this project explores the responsibility that lies with design and its impact on industry, people, social systems and cultural values. Design Does questions the designer's role today and in the future as a provider of solutions, humanist, strategist and/or agent of change.
Design Does, is a project that comprises an exhibition, workshop days, conferences and a book.
CURIOUS EXTRAPOLATIONS EXHIBITION
BY TATIANA TOUTIKIAN
The Curious Extrapolation interactive exhibition looks at the collective opinions of people on whether the emerging trends and technologies are contributing to a creating a utopia or a dystopia. Visions of the future include using VR/AR to turn vegan, or shifting into a society that is obsessed with reporting any personal diseases to the government by law. This interactive exhibition serves as a critical game, the creation of future scenarios based on a speculative design card method, a building of an avatar, and playing against everyone in the space. The rule of the game: The pawns in the Dystopia side shouldn't overpower the Utopia.
HOUSING SCENARIOS AND ALTERNATIVE BUILDING PRACTICES
BY PUBLIC WORKS STUDIO, THE ORDER OF ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS, UN-HABITAT
COMPETITION SOFT LAUNCH
Jointly organized by Public Works Studio, the Order of Engineers and Architects and UN-Habitat, under the patronage of the Public Corporation for Housing, this competition seeks innovative and alternative proposals to introduce inclusive urban housing options that challenge the dominating model of urban development by reversing forced displacements of low and middle- income residents from the city. The competition is based on real case studies in several neighborhoods of Beirut.

Sometimes it's tempting to have a little moan about how much we have to do, isn't it? Whether it's writing, editing, housework or the day job – we all feel tired from time to time and need to let off steam. But do we really have the right to complain? Just think how much less we have to do than our ancestors!
I am in awe of two of my great-grandmothers – Elmina and Martha, and I think they are great examples of just how ordinary women lived even a hundred years ago and how hard they had to work every day.
Me as a baby with Gt-grandma Elmina
Elmina (usually called Mina) was my great-grandmother on my mother's side and lived in Sweden. She was the wife of a baker and he got up at some unearthly hour of the morning to make bread that had to be ready to sell by the time their shop opened each day. It was Mina's job to man the shop, but before it opened, she also had to deliver bread to customers who had ordered theirs to be brought to their house. On top of that, Mina had six children (my grandmother was the oldest and had to help in the shop from a very early age). She had to cook for the whole family, plus at least three apprentice bakers, every day. Somehow she also found the time to make clothes for the entire family, not to mention doing the washing and cleaning. I have no idea how she did it.
Martha was the mother of fourteen children – fourteen! - twelve of whom survived to adulthood. She was my great-grandmother on my father's side and lived in Holborn, near Red Lion Square. Before she'd even turned forty, her husband died and she was left to bring up the children on her own. Even though a few of them were old enough to help out by then by going out to work and bringing home their salaries, it must have been a struggle. Again, I have no idea how she managed to feed and clothe so many! But somehow she did. Sadly she was killed by a bomb during the war – she and her eldest daughter had gone to shelter in the crypt of their local church, which took a direct hit. It's ironic that had she stayed in her house, she would have been safe.
I know that when we read and write historicals, we mostly prefer to focus on the upper class people, the ones who never had to toil in this way. But when I do genealogy, it's the ordinary people who fascinate me the most – the ones who never really made a mark on the world, but without whom we wouldn't be here. I have hundreds of them on my family tree (I've been researching my family for quite a long time) and they each have their own story to tell. One day, I'm going to put them all in a book.
How about you – do you have any interesting ancestors or someone you particularly admire?

News from a Country Town in 1815
I have just acquired a copy of the Norwich Mercury and Yarmouth, Lynn and Ipswich Herald for Saturday December 9th 1815. I love old newspapers and I particularly enjoy regional ones where the preoccupations of the readers are not always those of London folk.
These two advertisments caught my eye first. The top one is for a new stagecoach "The Day" running out of the Rampant Horse inn in Norwich. Rampant Horse Street is still there, although the inn is long gone, and you often hear visitors commenting on the strange name. The proprietors promise the journey can be done in fourteen hours - and assure us there are only four "insides" or inside passengers for added comfort. The owners include Richard Gurney - doubtless a relative of the Gurney banking family and Ann Nelson & Son - a good Norfolk name and an interesting example of the involvement of women in the stagecoach business.
Below it is a charming ilustration of a "Thieves' Alarm" - advertised as being more humane than man traps and spring guns. The inventor has patented something that looks like a cross between a trip wire and a shop door bell - yours for a mere 30 shillings.
There are two adverts for schools in the paper. Here is the one for young ladies -
Miss Ditchell does not give any information about the numbers of young ladies at her establishment, although the range of ages suggests a reasonable size, nor does she tell us what is taught. For 30 guineas (£31 and ten shillings) I would expect a varied curriculum!
1815 was Waterloo year and there are two items of relevance, plus part of a series on the Life of Wellington. The mayor and town council had obviously got up a collection to buy presentation swords for leading figures in the final campaign against Napoleon and - no doubt quivering with pride - His Worship was able to report back to the council that the Duke of Wellington had written to him -
The court pages, as well as reporting on the health of King George III - still suffering from "madness" - has a brief message from St Helena where Napoleon had just been exiled.
The remark that members of Napoleon's entourage were "heartily sick" of their new abode is not surprising: St Helena was considerd to be a thoroughly unpleasant place.
And finally, given recent concern about the quality of food in hospitals, I was interested in the advert inviting tenders to supply the General Hospital at Yarmouth. Virtually everything required, from meat to bread to port wine, must be of the "best". Salt and water must be used for the bread - not sea water; soap must be well-dried before delivery; beer should be of the quality "sold by the brewers to private families at six-pence per gallon"; sago, well sifted and free from dust and the tea must be "good Souchong". It is fascinating to read between the lines and to see to what extent food was adulterated - milk, for example, must be "neat as it comes from the cow"!
How much of these admirable provisions actually reached the patients is another matter, of course.
I am now going to settle down with a magnifying glass to read every detail of the scandalous crim.con. ("criminal conversation") case between Sir William Abdy and Lord William Cavendish Bentinck who was accused of seducing Sir William's wife, the natural daughter of Wellington's elder brother the Marquiss of Wellesley.
As this is a family blog I will spare you the details, other than to report that Lord William, after stalking Lady Abdy from London to Paris to Worthing, "rendered the unfortunate object of his illicit passion the most unhappy of women."

I finished printing out Winds of Change yesterday afternoon, checked the manuscript yet again, then packed it up. I've just posted it. 129,000 words on 504 pages is a hefty weight and cost £10.30 to send first class. But that was only a little more than parcel rates and will arrive three days sooner.
So, what now? Clean out my office - I've forgotten what colour the carpet is. Tidying my desk and putting away all my research files will help me move on from this story so I can begin work on the next. Ideas have been bubbling for a while but I needed to get Winds of Change on its way first. Not putting anything on paper allowed me freedom to consider all kinds of possibilities without commitment.
But now all that changes. I have to decide the year, background, locations and characters for the new book. It's an exciting feeling, exhilarating and slightly scary. For me one of the joys of being a novelist is learning from each book I write and carrying that forward to make the next one even better.
Where will I start? Reading about the period and locations I've chosen will suggest events, plot-points, and – most importantly - characters whose conflicts and choices will drive the story and explore my chosen theme. Often during this preliminary reading a title will suggest itself. Fingers crossed.
But first things first: vacuum cleaner, duster, screen wipes ...

This is not strictly Regency or Georgian. But it could have been. On a trip to Morocco recently, we had an encounter that could have taken place at any time in the last few centuries.
We went on a trip into the Berber region of the Atlas mountains which rise to 12000 feet or so.
Berber village clings to mountainside
We visited a Berber village and went inside a Berber house for tea. The house is made of clay and is small and very dark inside. Animals are kept down below, mostly sheep and goats. Our guide, himself a Berber, translated because the villagers did not speak anything but Berber. Our middle-aged guide, like most educated people of his age, was bilingual in Arabic and French, in addition to Berber.
Venerable Berber tea maker
In the Berber family, age is clearly rank. The house was headed by the grandfather, a venerable old man, who did the tea making ad you can see here.

Embroidered Berber apron
His wife, also venerable, did nothing as far as I could see. She wore a clean embroidered apron which seemed to be a status symbol.
Berber wood fire, baking flat bread
The bread making and kettle boiling was done by the daughter-in-law on a makeshift wood fire in a small smoky area down in the bowels of the house. She didn't seem to have an apron at all and it's amazing that she could see, given the amount of smoke there was. (I have lightened the photo so that the interior can be seen. It was actually very smoky and much darker than it appears to be.)
The visitors sat on the roof terrace for tea. The old man yelled for his granddaughter who brought up the kettle of boiling water and also hot water to pour over his hands. The tea-making made me think of Japan – it's a very elaborate ritual and no stage of the process can be omitted.
Berber tea-making kit
First, the old man's hands are washed by the oldest granddaughter. Then he warms a pewter teapot and takes some green tea from a silver box and adds it to the pot. He pours a smallish amount of boiling water on the tea leaves. Then there's brewing time. Next he pours out one tea glass full of green tea which is left aside. Then he pours out a tumbler of green tea, which is much darker and apparently too tannic. The tumbler of tea is discarded. The small glass of tea is poured back into the teapot.
Stay with me here. There's lots more.
Sugar cone
Next the old man takes a large bunch of twiggy mint, crushes it in his hands and stuffs it into the teapot on top of the green tea. Then he opens a larger silver box containing big lumps of sugar which have been hacked off an old fashioned sugar cone about 18 inches high. (You can see a complete one here, with its paper wrapping, plus the two silver boxes.) He selects a lump of fitting size, about 2 inches cube, drops it into the teapot on top of the mint and pours boiling water over the top.
More brewing time. Then he pours out a large glass of tea and pours it back into tea pot. He repeats the pouring and returning one more time.
Then finally (though I may have missed a step or two!) he pours out a small tea glass of tea and tastes it. If it's up to scratch, he then pours out tea glasses for all the guests. The pouring itself is like pouring sherry in Spain, done from great height into a small space without missing a drop.
Once he's poured tea glasses for all the guests, he yells for his granddaughter again. This time, she arrives carrying freshly cooked local flat bread, made from wheat and barley flour and cooked on a plate above the open wood fire by the daughter-in-law downstairs. If you look closely, you can see the bread on top of the fire in the picture of the smoky kitchen.
Guests enjoying mint tea and Berber flatbread
Both tea and bread were extremely good. The old man's mint tea was by far the best we had in Morocco.
I could have imagined a Regency traveller being offered tea with exactly the same elaborate ceremony. Everything would have been the same, probably. Except for the pink plastic colander in which the bunch of mint had been washed! Those who remember the film The Wind and the Lion with Sean Connery and Candace Bergen will have an idea of what the Berbers were like a century ago. I imagine they were the same centuries before that.
One other interesting thing I noted. Our guide, who was in his 40s or older, greeted the grandmother by kissing her hand, or at least by bending his face down to touch his forehead to her hand. It was difficult to see in the dark, but I was impressed by the gesture. Nowadays, respect for old ladies is definitely something I approve of!!
And yes, I may one day put all this into a book.

Recently, I cleaned house, that is, I asked for the rights back to a couple of books that have been languishing in publishers' backlists for a while. I wanted to give them a primp and a fluff and send them back out, renewed.
It's been very satisfying, especially re-reading them and thinking, "they're not half bad." And they're historicals, both of them Regencies. While I adore the 1750's, the Regency, a bit more than half a century later, also has its appeal.
For instance, "Vanessa" is set mainly at the Congress of Vienna. I've never understood why more Regency novels aren't set there. It was an amazingly glamorous event—ostensibly to sort out the mess Napoleon had left Europe in, but also a gathering of the movers and shakers of Regency society. The handsome, dissolute Prince Metternich was there, as was the new and young Czar of Russia. The Prince Regent never made an appearance, but all his principal politicians did.
And then there's Vienna. A gorgeous city now as it was then, but sadly, without the sachertorte that just puts the cherry on the cake. It was glittering, a time for Europe to start to mend bridges and play again, celebrate the defeat of Napoleon and the end of war. A melting pot of ambition, fashion and power.
Into this comes Vanessa, the new wife of Baron Vesey, a diplomat attached to the British contingent. Like many diplomats of his time, Chris also engages in mild espionage, a passing on of information between important centres of interest, and since Chris is particularly good at remembering and repeating numbers, he does this a little more than most. But he is a career diplomat, and that's where he's concentrating his efforts. Vanessa is well-born, but poor, with a mother desperate to settle her five daughters. Vesey is a catch, but he wants Vanessa, who is accomplished, beautiful and bright enough to be an asset to him in his demanding career.
Unfortunately, Vanessa has given her heart to Emery, who is equally poverty-stricken and trying to make enough money so he can ask Vanessa to marry him. She's waited for him for years, but she knows she can't wait much longer. Besides, although she doesn't love Chris, she likes and respects him.
Of course, this being a romance, Things happen to make Vanessa change her mind.
I got the inspiration for this book from an exercise on a now defunct writers' list. Every week the loop gave a list of words, usually five, to craft something. A story, a poem, anything, really. By the time I'd built "pilgarlic" into the story, I was lost. Vanessa sprang to life on the page and her story just had to be told.
So here she is, in all her revamped glory. I'm happy to share her with you.

New books for old?
Lady Eleanor's Secret was first published an an e-book by Aurora Regency last year and has now arrived in print as a LP with Thorpe. This means my book can now reach a new audience - readers who don't have a Kindle/Nook/ or ipad. As always Thorpe have given it a lovely cover. This was the last book I wrote for Robert Hale many years ago -Mr Hale wanted it -but as my last book failed to sell out he changed his mind.
Released on Feb 1st as LP.
Coming out as an e-book entitled 'A House Party' later this month.
The House Party was published by Hale and Thorpe (This is the Hale cover) and will be published by me as an e-book - with a great cover by Jane Dixon-Smith - very soon.
I'm editing the book now - it's amazing how much I've learned as a writer since this book was published. Writing for Musa/Aurora was hard work but they taught me a lot about tightening my story and cutting out unnecessary words. For some reason the editor at Hale at the time changed many sentences so that they began with a dangling gerund - so have had to remove all those. (I didn't even know what this was until writing for Musa.)
I had forgotten how exiting the book is - would you believe I was actually reading my own story with real enjoyment? I was thinking - did I write this? However did I think of that plot twist?
Another thing that will be new for old is my website - Jane Dixon-Smith has taken it over and it looks great.
Why not have a look tomorrow and see what you think?
The Attractions of the Country Town
Last weekend I was in Derbyshire, staying in a converted watermill near the town of Ashbourne. There had been a mill on the site since the Domesday book and the current building still preserves many ancient features from the 17th to the 19th centuries including a lot of the mill machinery cleverly built into the current, very elegant, accommodation.
The Peak District, as well as being a stunningly beautiful place, has lots of literary and historical associations. Some scenes in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, the 14th century poem, were set there. Sir Walter Scott set his 1823 novel Peveril of the Peak in Derbyshire and of course key scenes in Pride and Prejudice take place in the Peak District too. I had always thought that Charlotte Bronte drew her inspiration for Jane Eyre from Yorkshire but apparently that too was inspired by Derbyshire and one of my all time favourite time slip novels, A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley was set in the county. With so much literary inspiration around me I suppose it's no wonder I felt a strong urge to set a book there myself!
I wandered around Ashbourne on the Saturday. The Peak District has been a tourist destination for centuries; the Dukes of Devonshire developed the town of Buxton as a spa resort in the 18th century and Ashbourne became a wealthy and fashionable social centre at the same time, attracting visitors who came to admire the scenery of Dovedale. Six of the coaching roads met there including the route from London to Carlisle. There are still a number of coaching inns and elegant 18th and 19th century town houses built by tradesmen, clergymen, doctors, lawyers and the country gentry. Naturally Ashbourne had assembly rooms and a social season offering the usual round of dances, card parties and theatricals. The Mansion is the most imposing Georgian house in the town and it's garden contains a little summerhouse where Samuel Johnson, a friend of the owner, did some of his writing.
Ashbourne was also a parole town, housing 172 French prisoners of war during the period 1803 – 1814. They were billeted all over the town – I'm guessing that accommodation in the coaching inns and pubs was the most popular – and joined in with the social life of the town, and four of them married the four daughters of the landlord of the Cock Inn!
I enjoy Georgian and Regency books that are set in country towns and could quite see myself setting a book in Ashbourne. How do you feel about country town settings? Is there a particular book you enjoyed that was set outside of London?

Hating Emma Woodhouse
I thought this little anecdote might help to chase away those winter blues. It comes from Quentin Bell's Elders and Betters, a book of Bloomsbury reminiscences.
Quentin, son of the artist Vanessa Bell and nephew of the writer Virginia Woolf, and his brother-in-law, the writer David 'Bunny' Garnett, are talking about Jane Austen's Emma.
Bunny had no time for Emma. 'She was a very unpleasant character, a desperate snob, callous, conceited and vain,' he said. In his view, she had no redeeming features whatsoever.
Quentin Bell expostulated. 'Although she had her faults, she did suffer from an unbearably silly father and she bore his silliness with angelic patience.'
'Well, we only have Jane Austen's word for that,' responded Bunny, darkly.
It made me laugh out loud. But it does illustrate Jane Austen's ability to create characters so real that they seem to have an existence entirely independent of their creator.

The RoNA Rose Shortlist 2013....
…so, there I was, typing away at the latest work-in-progress and I flick over to my emails to find one from the Romantic Novelists' Association, telling me that Beneath the Major's Scars has been short-listed for the 2013 Rona Rose Award!
Yippee!!! After winning the Rona Rose last year I am so thrilled to think that it wasn't a lucky fluke, that the readers really do like my books.
Even more thrilling - Judy Finnigan and Richard Madeley will announce the winner on 26 February during a glittering reception in London – you can find more details about the event and all the Romantic Novelists' Association's awards here but here's the full short-list for the RoNA Rose Award:-
Fiona Harper, Always the Best Man, Harlequin Mills & Boon Riva
Sarah Mallory, Beneath the Major's Scars, Harlequin Historical
Heidi Rice, The Good, the Bad and the Wild, Harlequin Mills & Boon Riva
Carol Townend, Betrothed to the Barbarian, Harlequin Historical
Scarlet Wilson, West Wing to Maternity Wing, Harlequin Mills & Boon Medical
Scarlet Wilson, Her Christmas Eve Diamond, Harlequin Mills & Boon Medical
I am familiar with all these authors (proud to say I am friends with some of them!) and love their books, so it is such an honour to be up there with them, and for a book that is one of my all time favourites.
The idea for Beneath the Major's Scars began I was on holiday on Exmoor one September and I started to day-dream about a scarred and damaged war hero who might choose to live in an isolated house surrounded by these beautiful and dramatic moors. It wasn't a great leap then to think of the young woman who was going to rescue my hero, Dominic, from his self-imposed exile and show him that life was still worth living. I decided my heroine would come from even further south, from Cornwall in fact and she would have scars of her own that would need to heal.
I also wanted to introduce a brother for Dominic – an identical twin who would show Zelah just how devastatingly handsome Dominic had been before a French sabre cut through his face. Of course, Zelah knows beauty is only skin-deep and she is attracted to the man she sees behind the scars.
Dominic is a brooding, dark hero, perfectly at home in the rugged landscape of Exmoor. His brother, Jasper, became the hero of my next book, Behind the Rake's Wicked Wager, and I wanted him to be everything Dominic was not, so Jasper is suave and sophisticated, a fun-loving young lord who is more used to fighting off women than chasing them – until he meets his match in Susannah Prentess!
These two books are very different in nature, but that was the point, to show that identical twins can be very different people. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.
Thanks for dropping by – I am off now to decide just what I am going to wear for the glitzy reception in London 26th February………….
