Hatfield Technical College students reunited at university – 50 years on

Published: 8:00 AM September 8, 2012 Updated: 8:18 PM November 3, 2020
SMILING for the camera, these students from Hatfield Technical College strike a pose in early 1962.
For some of these young men, this picture would be one of the last times they would see each other – until now that is.
More than 50 years on and several of the friends have been reunited at their alma mater – now the University of Hertfordshire – for a trip down memory lane.
The group – who all studied mechanical productions – were taken on a tour of the uni's current engineering and technology facilities, before gathering on the same balcony they stood on 50 years ago to recreate their 1962 photo.
Many of the men pictured here travelled far and wide to be reunited with their old mates – including from Australia and the USA.
But one man who didn't have to make such a journey was Roger Hood, from Codicote.
"I'm really pleased to see everyone again – there are at least three friends here I have not seen in 50 plus years," said Roger.
"It's amazing how much we have changed and it's difficult to recognise everyone after so long.
"The university has definitely changed a lot from the technical college, but I am really pleased to see it."
The visit was part of the university's diamond jubilee celebrations, which has been welcoming back groups of alumni who graduated from its predecessor institutions.
This Saturday, several former students, including some of the friends here, will be honoured with the title 'Associate of the University' to celebrate the contribution they made to the establishment's 60-year history.

Internationally acclaimed author Amy Tan said the following this week to LDA in continued support of its LymeAid 4 Kids fund "My heart goes out to undiagnosed children who face not only the painful and debilitating effects of this disease but are at risk for a lifetime of poor self-esteem." Ms. Tan, herself a victim of chronic Lyme disease with neurologic symptoms, approached the LDA in 2003.
Thanks to continued support from Ms. Tan and from people like you, since that time, the LDA has awarded $338,400, including $45,000 in 2016, for children from states all across the country, enabling children whose families face financial hardship to begin the process of a Lyme diagnosis and Lyme treatment.
In 2015, according to CDC statistics, almost 400,000 new cases of Lyme occurred in the US. Children ages 5-9, 10-14 are at the highest risk of acquiring the disease, and the LDA has calculated that 30% of CDC reported Lyme cases are children ages 0-19, with 5% of the cases children ages 0-5. These are children who struggle every day to get out of bed, to shower or bathe, to do school work. Sometimes, children with chronic Lyme are unable to do one or more of those things for weeks, month, or years of their lives. Many grow up not remembering a time they were well and were unable to have friends, to play, or to attend school due to their Lyme disease symptoms.
The fund is almost depleted. LA4K applications to help our children continue to arrive. Your help is needed now; your donations of any amount are welcome. Join us in our fight to provide an early diagnosis and early treatment for the hundreds of thousands of children afflicted with this debilitating disease. Together, we can help prevent children across the United States of America from living The Eternal Nightmare.
This poem, written by a teen who had chronic Lyme & seizures, paints the bleak picture children who develop chronic Lyme often face. Together, author Amy Tan and the Lyme Disease Association (LDA) have worked to bring those "sun rays" to the children of Lyme.

Q: 2D array as pointer to char array I am playing with some code in C and also I am trying to understand relationship between pointers and arrays. As you probably know, when I want to make array it could be done like this:
char * arr = "abc";

or
char arr[] = {'a','b', 'c'};

But when I want to do 2D array. It must be done like this
char arr[3][10];

Why declaration like this crashes when I try to load string to that.
char * names[3];

for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) {
    printf("Enter name %d: ", i+1 );
    scanf("%s", names[i]);
}
// print names
printf("\nEntered names are: \n");
for ( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ ) {
    printf("%s\n", names[i] );
}

It should be 2D array right? Because array is basically pointer.
Could you please explain that?
Thanks.

A: char * names[3];

Is not a 2D array, it's an array of three pointers to char, if you want to store char arrays in it you must allocate memory to each individual pointer, something like:
for(size_t i = 0; i < 3; i++){
    names[i] = malloc(/*length your array of chars*/);
}

You can then store char arrays, using you example:
for(size_t i = 0; i < 3; i++){
    printf("Enter name %ld: ", i + 1 );
    scanf("%29s", names[i]); //for a malloc size of 30
}

Note that you must be careful with scanf, if the inputed string is longer then the memory allocated to store it you will have stack smashing, i.e. for names[i] with size of 30, you should use %29s specifier, instead of %s. Though this approach is not whitout its issues, namely possible characters left in stdin buffer, it's definitely safer.
Alternatively you can assign them string literals (in this case it's best to declare the array as const, otherwise if you try to edit one or more characters it'll result in a segfault):
const char* names[3];

for(size_t i = 0; i < 3; i++){
    names[i] = "My string literal";
}

You can also make them point to existing char arrays:
char arr[3][10];
char* names[3];

for(size_t i = 0; i < 3; i++){
    names[i] = arr[i];
}

A: char * names_1[3];

It's not a pointer. It's an array of pointers.
char names_2[3][10]={"one", "two", "three"};
char (*p_names_2)[10]=names_2;

Now it's a pointer to your 2D-Array. Just define a function and try to use it with your "pointers" as parameters.
void print_names(char names[][10], const int row){
    for(int i=0; i<row; i++)
      puts(names[i]);
}

Now call it with:
print_names(names_2, 3);
print_names(p_names_2, 3);
print_names(names_1, 3); //WRONG

And you'll see the difference.

A: char* names[3] is not strictly a 2D array (they don't exist in C or C++); it's an array of arrays. So each element of names contains simply a char*, which has not been initialised.
Note also that a c-style string is a null-terminated array of chars, so your original arr is not a c-style string. To make it a c-style string you would need:
char arr[] = {'a','b','c',0};

making it an array of length 4, not 3.
Missing off the null-terminator will mean that most functions will run off the end of the allocated memory, because they won't know when the string stops.

A: pointer is a type of variable, which can only contain an address of another variable. It can't contain any data. You can't store data into a pointer.Pointers should point at memory location.
So to use a pointer in the right way ,it must always point at a valid memory location in stack or memory dynamically allocated in heap.
this char * names[3] is an array of pointers ,so you need to reserve memory for it and then initialize it.You need to use some thing like this:
char *name[3];
for(int i=0;i<3;i++)
{
name[i]=malloc(strlen(string)+1);
}

also you should allocate memory for char *arr too.
char *arr=malloc(strlen(data)+1)
then initialized it.

This stew is YUM. Seriously. I definitely want to make this again…and again and again and again!! It was self.com's "Recipe of the Week" earlier this month, so I decided to give it a try. I didn't let the carrots simmer for the full 30mins, since I don't like extremely cooked/mushy carrots, so they still had the faintest crunch to them. It is perfect for a winter night, but also perfect in general!
-Serve and enjoy this amazing stew!

Somebody tell me what it's all about
Posted on January 21, 2022 by brucehhackett
I've received quite a lot of response to the posts I've made here where I reveal the back story and true meaning behind some well-known classic rock songs.
In two installments in 2021, I explained (or let the composers explain) what the less-than-clear lyrics were really driving at, and many readers said they were surprised to learn things about songs they thought they knew. I featured songs like Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly With His Song," Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," Yes's "Roundabout" and Joni Mitchell's "Free Man in Paris," which each have fascinating origin stories. You can read about them at these links: https://hackbackpages.com/2021/05/07/lord-do-you-know-what-i-mean/
https://hackbackpages.com/2021/07/30/were-gonna-find-out-what-its-all-about/
In the week's post, I offer background information on eight more songs you thought you knew. This is the kind of stuff I love to research and write about, and I hope you continue to enjoy reading about them. As is customary, there is a Spotify playlist at the end so you can conveniently hear these tunes anew.
"Baba O'Riley," The Who, 1971
Many people think this epic track by The Who is titled "Teenage Wasteland," from the oft-repeated line in the lyrics. But in fact, Pete Townshend came up with the title by merging the names of two people that inspired him the most at that time in his life: Meher Baba, an Indian spiritual master with hundreds of thousands of followers, and Terry Riley, an influential but obscure American composer who experimented with minimalist concepts. Both pursued the idea of oneness — the notion of one absolute deity, and music with modal repetition of one note. Townshend wrote the piece as his vision of what would happen if the spirit of Meher Baba was fed into a computer and transformed into music. The result would be Baba in the style of Riley, or "Baba O'Riley." It was to be the leadoff track of "Lifehouse" (another rock opera to follow "Tommy"), about a Scottish family that would set out across the hinterland for London, where a divine concert was to be held. The project was aborted, but this and several other songs from it were collected for the "Who's Next" LP in 1971. Following The Who's performances at Woodstock and the Isle of Wight festivals in 1969, Townshend said he was disturbed to see the acres of trash and all the drug-addled teenagers which, together, comprised what he disparagingly called "teenage wasteland."
"Fire and Rain," James Taylor, 1970
As the song that introduced Taylor to the mainstream, "Fire and Rain" is a remarkably personal work, much more so than any of his other hits. The chorus is straightforward enough, referring to life's balance between the good times ("I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end") and bad times ("I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend") he has experienced. The verses, though, are separate vignettes about different challenges he has had to face. First he agonizes over the news that his troubled friend Suzanne had committed suicide six months earlier ("Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone"). Then he shares how difficult it has been to recover from depression and addiction, calling out for help one day at a time: "Won't you look down upon me, Jesus? You gotta help me make a stand, you've just got to see me through another day…" In verse three, he comes to grips with fame and fortune, and mentions the struggles he had in his first band, The Flying Machine, before his big break ("Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground"). He concludes with a final reference to his friend ("Thought I'd see you one more time again") and a nod to his imminent success ("There's just a few things coming my way this time around now…").
"In the Air Tonight," Phil Collins, 1981
This powerful song, full of restless anticipation, was the leadoff track and first single from Collins's first solo LP, "Face Value," released in 1981. It reached #1 across Europe and #2 in the UK but managed only #19 in the US. I think it's one of his very best songs ever — sonically, melodically and lyrically. Many listeners interpreted the song's primary couplet ("I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, /I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord") as full of hope and excitement, but in fact, Collins wrote the song amid the grief he felt after divorcing his first wife in 1980. "I had a wife, two children, two dogs, and the next day I didn't have anything," he said in 1981. "So songs like 'In the Air Tonight' reflect the fact that I was going through these difficult emotional changes." The mood is one of restrained anger, told in words that are seriously bitter and resentful: "Well, if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand… You can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been, /It's all been a pack of lies…" The music builds fairly ominously until the final chorus brings an explosive burst of drums to finally release the musical tension. Originally, Collins had offered it to his bandmates in Genesis as a track for their 1980 LP "Duke," but they chose to turn him down, a decision they later regretted, said keyboardist Tony Banks. "It's a hell of a song," he conceded.
"Someone Saved My Life Tonight," Elton John, 1975
In 1968, before Elton John became popular, and before he had acknowledged (even to himself) that he was gay, he became engaged to a female friend named Linda Woodrow. She had been a fan of the music he and collaborator Bernie Taupin were writing, and the three of them were sharing a place in London's East End. Elton and Linda weren't intimate, and he didn't really love her, but she was putting on the hard-court press and, having just turned 21, he figured this was the next step people took at this time in their lives. Still, he felt uneasy about it, so much so that he even made a halfhearted attempt to kill himself with a gas oven in his home. Finally, it was John's gay friend Long John Baldry who stepped in, publicly scolding him. "What are you doing living with a fucking woman? Wake up and smell the roses. You're gay. Hell, you love Bernie more than you love her!" He broke it off with Linda the next morning and never saw her again. Six years later, for the 1975 LP "Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy," Taupin wrote the story of that evening as "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," with these harsh words about Linda: "You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear? You nearly had me roped and tied, alter-bound, hypnotized…" Despite its 6:45 length, it reached #4 on US charts as perhaps Elton John's most personal single of all.
"Smoke on the Water," Deep Purple, 1972
Ian Paice, drummer for Deep Purple throughout its lengthy career arc, had this to say about the band's most well-known song: "The amazing thing with that song, and Ritchie (Blackmore)'s riff in particular, is that somebody hadn't done it before, because it's so gloriously simple and wonderfully satisfying." Indeed. Total Guitar ranked "Smoke on the Water" #4 among the Top 20 Guitar Riffs of All Time, and it's one of the first riffs every aspiring electric guitarist learns. The track was released on their "Machine Head" album in 1972, but the song didn't become a Top Five hit single until more than a year later. As for the words, they're not much of a mystery, but many folks may not realize that the lyrics tell a true story. In December 1971, Deep Purple had gone to Montreux, Switzerland, on the shores of Lake Geneva, where they had planned to record their next album at the Montreux Casino complex, using the then-new Rolling Stones Mobile Studio. Unfortunately, at the venue's final concert before closing for the season, a reckless fan of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention — "some stupid with a flare gun" — fired into the rattan-covered ceiling, which started a fire that burned the entire facility to ashes. From their hotel room across the lake, the band members could see only "smoke on the water, fire in the sky" as they watched "the biggest fire we'd ever seen." The incident required the band to relocate to the abandoned Grand Hôtel de Territet nearby to quickly record their album in a makeshift manner. "No matter what we get out of this, I know we'll never forget," wrote singer/lyricist Ian Gillan.
"Shock the Monkey," Peter Gabriel, 1980
A cursory look through the early albums in the Genesis catalog, when Gabriel was the colorful frontman, show he has a flair for fantasy and mystery, with dense lyrics that often had fans scratching their heads. This continued to a lesser extent once he went solo in 1977 with curious songs like "Solsbury Hill" and "Games Without Frontiers." Gabriel raised the eyebrows of animal rights groups when his 1980 LP "Security" featured the song "Shock the Monkey" as its single. They overreacted to the suspicion that he was advocating using primates in objectionable laboratory tests. Gabriel dismissed these fears by explaining that it was actually a love song that examines how feelings of jealousy and rage can release our basic primal instincts. Indeed, he added that the original inspiration for the song's lyrical motif came from, of all things, the cheesy 1962 monster film "King Kong Vs. Godzilla," in which the enormous ape experienced a revived jolt of energy after being struck by lightning. Gabriel's narrator warns his lover not to toy with his jealous feelings: "There is one thing you must be sure of, I can't take any more, /Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey, /Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey…"
"China Grove," The Doobie Brothers, 1973
Early on in The Doobie Brothers' career, they were on an extended road trip through Texas when they passed through the "blink and you'll miss it" small town of China Grove just east of San Antonio. Songwriter Tom Johnston tucked that town's name into his subconscious and, six months later, he retrieved it in order to write some lyrics to go with a killer riff/chords combination he'd been working on. "Most of my songs begin with the musical structure, the rhythm, the melody line," said Johnston, "and the lyrics come later. All that middle bit about the sheriff and the samurai swords was inspired by Billy Payne's rollicking piano parts." Johnston came up with a tale about a few fictitious characters who lived there ("the preacher and the teacher, Lord, they're a caution, they are the talk of the town…"), and how the town is full of "people (who) don't seem to care, they just keep looking to the East…" Despite the town's name and Johnston's lyrics, fewer than 1% of the tiny population is Asian. It turns out the town was named China Grove because of a small grove of chinaberry trees that once stood near the train depot.
"Locomotive Breath," Jethro Tull, 1971
I've been a fanatical follower of the music of Jethro Tull and its leader, Ian Anderson, since I first heard the debut LP "This Was" in a Cleveland record store in 1969. Once "Aqualung" was released in 1971, I was really obsessed, listening to that album every day for probably six months. "Locomotive Breath" has been a huge favorite of mine, and it became one of the two most often performed songs in the Tull catalog over the decades since. As for the lyrics, I was always taken by the sense of desperation in the lines, "And the train, it won't stop going, no way to slow down." But I was surprised to learn only recently that Anderson was actually talking obliquely about the problem of overpopulation. As he put it in 2016: "'Locomotive Breath' was about the runaway train of population growth and capitalism, and on those sorts of unstoppable ideas. We're on this crazy train, and we can't get off of it. Where is it going? Will it ever slow down? When I was born in 1947, the population of the planet was slightly less than a third of what it is today, so it should be a sobering thought that in one man's lifetime, our population has more than tripled. You'd think population growth would have brought prosperity, happiness, food and a reasonable spread of wealth, but quite the opposite has happened, and is happening even more to this day."

Graduation completes student's tough journey
Published 4:26 pm Friday, May 22, 2009
When Micah Glausier walked across the stage to accept his diploma at Chelsea High's graduation Thursday, he wasn't just walking into a new stage of his life.
He was also walking away from one of the most harrowing experiences his family will ever go through — a near-fatal car crash on U.S. Highway 280 that involved Micah and his younger sister, 16-year-old Lindsay Kate.
After school on Jan. 9, 2009, Micah stepped into his car after school with Lindsay Kate in the passenger side. That's the last thing he remembers until two days later on Sunday, when he woke up with his pastor praying over him.
Although he doesn't remember the accident, he believes the sun must have been blinding him as he pulled out in front of an oncoming dump truck.
During the accident, he had suffered brain trauma as well as serious cuts and bruises, but no broken bones.
Lindsay Kate was the exact opposite, with several broken bones but no brain trauma, although the dump truck hit her side of the vehicle. While Micah remembers nothing about the accident, she remembers everything.
"We got to the median, and I looked up and saw it coming and just screamed," she said.
She said Micah dove across her lap, arm outstretched, to try to protect her from the impact.
"I blacked out, and when I woke up, everything was in slow motion. Nobody was there yet, and Micah was, like, in my lap, and I just thought, 'He's dead, he's dead,'" Lindsay Kate said. "When the paramedics got there, they found a pulse, and then they were focused on getting him out."
He stayed in the hospital for a week, until Jan. 17.
After getting out, the most important thing for Micah was learning to play his guitar again. He's accepted a music scholarship to the University of Mobile, with a focus on guitar.
"Playing my guitar was really hard at first. Guitar has been a huge part of my life. It's something I can go to. When I'm upset, I just play," he said. "This is what I want to do for the rest of my life."
To get back to playing form, Micah had to undergo occupational, mental and physical therapy for a month and a half. He had to learn to walk, to maintain his balance and to talk without slurring his words.
"The first day was so hard. Even now, sometimes my hand-eye coordination is a little off," he said. "When I get tired, I slur my speech, and it's funny, but sometimes I call people by another name. I know I do it, and I correct myself. I did it before, but just not this often."
He was out of school for a month and a half, and then went back for half days until spring break. Lindsay Kate was out for three weeks, and then did half days until spring break as well. After spring break was over, both went back full-time.
Lindsay Kate said watching Micah receive his diploma after what they'd both been through was nothing short of incredible.
"I was just thinking, 'We shouldn't be here today,'" she said. "I was just amazed. It was just cool to see him. It was like a miracle."

Encouraging investment through stable, consistent and predictable energy market rules are the key factor in determining the future of nuclear power in Europe, a new report from the World Energy Council (WEC) concludes.
Nuclear Engineering International 2nd Feb 2007
MP Jamie Reed has got an answer from PM Tony Blair that the licensing regime for new nuclear reactors for the UK could be revealed "within weeks". Mr Blair said in the Commons: "I hope that within the next few weeks the White Paper will indicate how we can take forward the licensing regime for a new generation of nuclear power stations. As I said when I was in my hon. Friend's constituency a short time ago, around the world today people are recognising that it will be very difficult for us to have energy security as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions and CO2 emissions without replacing our existing nuclear power stations."
Whitehaven News 1st Feb 2007
NUCLEAR companies are positioning themselves to win lucrative contracts to build new nuclear reactors ahead of the government's energy white paper, due out next month. The Prospect trade union national secretary, Mike Graham, representing hundreds of Sellafield engineers, said there was "a lot of interest" in the possible revival of the UK nuclear industry from suppliers. "Everything seems to have been speeding up within the last month."
The large numbers of Christians who will be joining the anti-Trident nuclear weapons demonstration in London on 24 February 2007 are being invited to an ecumenical service beforehand. Hinde Street Methodist Church – just north of the famous Oxford Street shopping centre – will host the gathering for worship at 10.30 AM.

The Bulgarian President has again criticised the EU for forcing the closure of two nuclear reactors.

Meanwhile, we wanted to introduce you to our fourth brave author: Angela Jackson-Brown.
Angela Jackson-Brown is a writer and poet who teaches Creative Writing and English at Ball State University in Muncie, IN. She is a graduate of Troy State University, Auburn University and Spalding University. Her work has appeared in literary journals, such as: Pet Milk, Uptown Mosaic Magazine, New Southerner Literary Magazine, The Louisville Review, Muscadine Lines: A Southern Journal, Blue Lake Review, Identity Theory, Toe Good Poetry, and 94 Creations.
Her short story, "Something in the Wash," was awarded the 2009 fiction prize by New Southerner Literary Magazine and was nominated for a Pushcart Prize in Fiction. Her debut novel, Drinking from a Bitter Cup, was published by WiDo Publishing in 2014. She is currently working on her second novel.
You can find out more about Angela on her website, her Facebook page, or follow her on Twitter.
What was the question or idea that sparked that original piece? My daddy used to work parties for wealthy white people back in the day, and he talked about how difficult it was to shift from his private face to his public face when he would go from the kitchen to the party areas. From his stories came my idea to create a character, Carolee, who was struggling with the same issue.
Where can people find or buy your work? Find her first book, Drinking from a Bitter Cup, at Amazon.
What should the audience expect from your storytelling at the Downtown Writers Jam? They should expect to see a transformation. When I give public readings, I cease to exist and my characters take over. So, when I begin to tell them the story of Coralee, Angela will disappear, right before their very eyes and young Coralee will grace them with her presence.
Best book or long-form writing we should read, but probably haven't? And why? Drinking from a Bitter Cup. I poured my soul into this novel. There is no emotion that I didn't draw upon to write this book. I left everything on the page and as a result, I created memorable characters who will stay in the minds of the readers long after they've read the final word. Drinking from a Bitter Cup is the story of Sylvia Butler, a young girl who survives the death of her mentally ill mother and the loss of her innocence, yet, through it all, Sylvia never gives up.
You are fast! Thank you for getting the information up in such a hurry, and thank you for the invitation to participate in the Jam. I'm looking forward to it and meeting you and all of the other fantastic writers.
The Jam and The Geeky Press are my personal projects (and I have a wife who supports my literary habits) so it's easy to spend all day working on them. More importantly, we're excited to have you. Vol. 2 is shaping up to be a powerhouse of literary storytelling. I can't wait.


Setting big goals, creating a plan and sticking with your plan sound simple and can be very challenging. These actions all require the time needed to accomplish your goals, developing resilience when things do not go according to your expectations and seeing things through.
So how do we increase our resilience?
There are ways to strengthen this practice and it is well worth the effort it takes. Anything that feels calming, soothing or peaceful fits this criterion. A morning ritual, breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, a sauna, journaling, art, listening to specific kinds of music and 8 hours of sleep to recover are all ways to support that feeling of "All is Well", at least for a few moments. Sometimes just looking at what is directly in front of you and focusing on the very next, immediate steps you need to take can also assist in increasing your resilience. Resilience is something we can develop. The research does indicate that our "Willpower" or "Resilience" is strongest first thing in the morning. Depending on how many decisions, how much stress we encounter and how we deal with that stress, we deplete our reserve during the day. I am noticing that feeling overwhelmed is not an uncommon experience for many people.
The skill is developing a plan to navigate through these feelings and knowing what to put into play to get past the hardest times. It is also important to find a team or a Sherpa (guide in Nepalese) to help you navigate through some of the roughest of times. Most people do much better during times of stress if they are not an island. There are many resources that address the research associated with resilience and how it affects performance.
Be Excellent at Anything by Tony Schwartz.
Find support for whatever plan you develop to help you take the very next step towards your goals, move through overwhelm and increase your resilience along the way.

Do You Offer Your Readers Convenience? Do You Exceed Their Expectations?
While searching a subject on the internet, I clicked on an article of interest, and before I could read the first three words, a Fed Ex commercial popped up. Normally I delete ads right away. This particular ad, however, caught my eye.
There was a big header. Even though it had people bending over a table in the ad, that didn't draw my attention, the title topper did. "See how Fed Ex can help your business save time on shipping." Now I know about using Fed Ex, UPS and the USPO for my shipping needs so I wasn't looking for a refresher course. But I was curious as to how they would showcase their answer. How were they going to help their customer?
The answers they showed were simple but sincere and insightful. So what was that answer? Offer convenience –– exceed expectations.
That made an impression on me and piqued my interest as to how do authors offer convenience to their readers and how do they exceed reader's expectations?
I began going through different books I had read, scanning the pages. Sometimes when I read certain books; I will mark errors I see, stumbling sentences, initials for phrases, confusing paragraphs and words that don't fall off the tongue. In other words things that causes a reader to stumble when reading.
One item in particular that is a problem for readers is the author's use of initials of phrases. Doing this leaves your reader having to stop, guess the phrase you are referring to, if they even know, and then go back and reread the sentence or if they are lucky, pick up where they left off. Authors need to keep things simple so as not to impede the readers flow.
Another ease authors can make for their readers is making sure there are as few errors as possible for the reader to stumble over. I am an avid reader, and it is annoying when I am reading and run into blatant errors. A minor error doesn't derail a reader, but words left out and misspelled words do cause the reader problems. The reader has to stop, come out of the story as it were, and reread what they just read. This doesn't make readers happy and odds are, they may not buy another book from that author. Even worse, they may tell their friends how bad it was and you know word of mouth can make or break authors.
You might think these things don't have anything to do with being convenient for a reader. But it does. When a reader chooses to sit down and read a book they want to enjoy the book, they want to lose themselves in your story. They don't want to play guessing games with the words.
There is another form of convenience for your reader––and that is to make sure your website makes it easy for them to click on your book, and buy it. If your cover and description on your website entice them to buy your book you want to make it easy for them to do it right then. Be sure the click takes them to Amazon or Barnes and Noble to buy your book.
If you have the time, however, you can set up your site, where they buy it directly from you. When they do that, it means you must mail it, which some authors don't like to fool with, but, it also means you get to "Sign" the book for them. People love to have author signed books. This is convenience for a reader. It is also exceeding their expectations to be able to go to the author's website and order the book direct from the author and it be a signed copy.
What are some other suggestions you could make that would be convenient for readers and that would exceed their expectations?
Waiting on responses, I prepared my book proposal using models from books and publishers' guidelines, paying specific attention to books on the market that might compete with His Mother.
I focused on how my book differed from these, what it offered that others did not.
I've had it with the non-stop email solicitations wanting to help me sell books. Of course I need to know how to better market my books! So I try to keep up. But, frankly, it's not easy, figuring out which "Help Offer" is going to help me.
I sign up for what looks good. Then comes the pitch. Most give good 'free' info then go through the same routine to up-sell you on their programs. "It's worth $2,000. But if you buy today… only $297."
I know I need to learn. So I wade through them all. Some are outrageous.
Like the "$1 NOW" come-ons... only to discover there's a $1 charge for 7 days, then jumps to $59/month -- automatically, unless I remember to cancel. Have you ever?
Maybe you've also plowed through the plethora of "Let Me Help You" sites? I get six emails a week, and yes, I'll admit, I check 'em out. Why not? I'm trying to figure out how to sell a few books when 727,125 ISBNs were assigned to self-published authors in 2015 .That's right. 727,125 in one year alone, and that's just to self-published authors. Look it up on Bowker.
Authors, the competition is daunting. But good work will win out in the end.
If you're contemplating your first novel, please, stop and ask yourself. "Am I doing this so I can tell my family and friends that I've written a novel?" If that's your subconscious speaking to you, please, re-think this. So many "first novels" come on the marketplace that haven't even been edited. Result? Family and friends who read them become so disillusioned by all the errors, grammatical mistakes, plot snafus, and unexplainable dialogue that they may never pick up a new author again. They go back to the same celebrity authors, leaving new, serious authors in the wake of anonymity.
My college roommate went to New York to become an actor in the 70s. He later told me, "Michael, for every audition I went to, there were 3,000 actors as qualified for that role as me. Not all 3,000 showed up, but the hardest-working ones did. There was just too much competition."
Writing a 75,000-word book is hard work. If you're not willing to hire a professional editor, why write it? And if it's going to be the only book you ever write, why bother?
Meantime, I'll keep wading through the webinars and try to make sense of this industry. Maybe somebody should start a "Ranking Profile" of these webinars.
PS -- I'm really not a sour-puss. Today, I'm just frustrated by all the noise in the "Let Me Help You" world of new authors.

"Birthdays always remind me of the giant redwoods on the West Coast. The way they stand tall and proud year after year, century after century. Their majestic beauty never fails to take my breath.
Those ancient redwoods live 500 to 800 years with the oldest being 2000 to 2200 years old. That would date you if you had planted them. They do stand tall and proud and appear to do so with such great ease. Many standing over 200 feet tall and the tallest, believed to be the world's tallest tree, is said to be 379 feet. Such great height must surely need great support and it has but not as you would think. The roots of those redwoods are only 10 to 12 feet deep. So how do they support themselves?
Their roots may not be deep but they spread out 3 to 5 times their height. A 200 foot redwood could have roots spreading out 600 to 1.000 feet. The tallest could spread out 1100 to 1800 feet. But that is not their only secret to their support. Each redwood tree's roots, while spreading out to great lengths, are also intertwining with the roots of each and every tree in their immediate area. They support each other.
Thinking on this I wondered what it would be like to have such a support system. Each individual intertwined with every other. All are supporting one, and one is supporting all. Believe it or not that is what Southern Writers Magazine was founded on. We began with the vision of "a magazine by writers and for writers". It has developed into over 1,032 authors supporting other authors by sharing their ideas with them. Each author like a giant redwood intertwined with other authors supporting them as they are supported.
Our hope at Southern Writers Magazine is that with this support we all can grow tall in our craft and have a long career as writers. We know with the continued support of each of you this can happen. If you haven't joined the forest of authors do so. Add your support and enjoy the support of others. Southern Writers Magazine will be here for your continued success.
Every person who has trod the earth is a historical figure whose story deserves to be told. This is especially true of a place like Memphis, where creativity flows from the many cracks in its streets. I have devoted my writing career to uncovering these stories and bringing to literary life those forgotten souls whose life and work has contributed greatly to the history of our world. .
As a narrative non-fiction author I write the small stories that try to provide readers with a bigger understanding of our collective past. For Memphis, like any other place, is populated by human beings living their lives in a variety of circumstances. I collected many of these smaller and more unusual stories in my books On This Day in Memphis History and Hidden History of Memphis where I wrote about the Memphis gangster who inspired William Faulkner to write the novel Sanctuary, the angry parishioner who bit off his pastor's finger, the brave African American woman who refused to sit in the black section of a streetcar in 1905 and the day it rained snakes.
I also chronicled the rise and fall of the Crump political machine and the success of the Memphis civil rights movement in my books Mayor Crump Don't Like it and Crusades for freedom. In a Brief History of Memphis I attempted "to cover the major events in Memphis history, from its early days as a raucous river town through it emergence as a major Southern metropolis in the final decades of the twentieth century." In order to understand the role of youth organizations in the development of Memphis I wrote my most recent book, Scouting in Memphis:a History of the Chickasaw Council, BSA.
I see each of my books as a piece of a mosaic; telling a specific story but part of a larger whole. Taken together it is hoped that when I am done the volumes left behind will be a kind of grand narrative that touches on all the major themes of Memphis history. In that way, without sounding like I am too big for my britches, I will have completed the big story I was born to write.
A few months ago, a new shopping mall opened a couple of cities away from me. As new malls tend to do, it has attracted patrons from all over. Ironically, no one in my circle has been there yet, and they all give the same reason: they don't want to fight the traffic. Indeed, the roads leading to and from the new mall which were busy already, are now said to be oppressively congested with frequent traffic jams.
One of the town planners for my own burg says it's a classic case of putting the cart before the horse. Instead of planning for the future and widening the streets in anticipation of heavier traffic, those particular developers simply built the mall at a popular location, leaving the rest of the details to sort themselves out.
A wise planner, explained my planner, leaves nothing to chance. An impact study would have dictated a more visionary sequence of events that would have accommodated both the mall's goals and its customers' convenience. Instead, the mall is experiencing as much negative word of mouth as positive.
Writers can likewise benefit from strategic planning and implementation. The many steps in between deciding to be a writer and vacationing in Nice to write your twentieth bestseller warrant an eye for detail and an ability to look down the road.
We've all done it. We rewrite and revise and tweak to death until we're certain every word is perfect, only to spot a grievous error the minute we hit the Send button. Another set of eyes—preferably several sets—are absolutely vital for any serious writer. Have at least one experienced editor review your manuscript and ensure nothing gets overlooked. In the words of the prophet, check yourself before you wreck yourself.
Admittedly, some authors prefer to maintain visual anonymity, so this step may not apply. For the rest, you will need at least one good photo for your website and press kit (next on the list). I mention this as its own entity to emphasize the importance of having a high quality head shot versus a selfie (although some cellphones do take amazingly good pictures). When you become the cover story of a fine upstanding writers magazine, one of the first things you'll be asked for is a high-res photo suitable for framing.
When potential readers (and agents and publishers) want to know who you are, they're going to look for your website. Not a Facebook page, but a website. Yes, have a Facebook page too, but visitors want to see your photos, bio, book covers, and supporting materials all in one place on a website that bears your name. Don't wait until your book is on the market; the time to start publicizing yourself and your work is immediately, if not sooner. Cash in on the free promotional tool that is the Internet.
Basically this is a tangible translation of your website that you can hand out. A well-done press kit says "pro" and is handy to have when you attend writers conferences or, of course, meet with anyone who can further your career. On a related note, be sure and send a press release to your local newspaper whenever your latest book is available.
If you want to woo a publisher, don't skimp on your book proposal. W. Terry Whalin offers lots of free tips on his websites at terrylinks.com/bookcheck and writeabookproposal.com. His Book Proposals That $ell: 21 Secrets to Speed Your Success is also sage advice, especially for nonfiction proposals.
Every month, a billion viewers watch videos on YouTube. If you've overlooked this enormous opportunity to get the word out, it's never too late to hop on the book trailer bandwagon. Some authors commission a slick video presentation complete with music and sophisticated graphics, others very effectively get on camera and talk about or read an excerpt from their book. It's a highly visible way to promote your latest release, and even an ideal means to generate new interest in an older title.
The above list isn't all-inclusive, but successful writers consider these items among the must-haves for a writer's to-do list.
There will be over 300,000 new books published this year. Before yours hits the streets, avoid congestion and stand out in the crowd by creating a platform with a solid infrastructure. It will get you on the road less traveled.
Although I'm a nurse by training, I had no idea what was worn by nurses in the 1970s. Were they still wearing all white and those precipitously-placed caps on their heads? Why yes they were, I found out. Contacting Redlands Community Hospital where my fictitious character of Abby worked, I struck a goldmine: They had put together a hardbound anniversary edition of their hospital's history. "I can send you a copy," offered the public relations contact person. "Yes!" I tried to maintain my excitement.
That one was fairly easy. The real challenge came with the actual events that took place during the commemoration events that spanned over a two-week time period in September and October of 1977. I found a newspaper reporter who was willing to search the archives and found an article that described the scene at the event where Tom Brokaw spoke. Score!!
Other articles revealed bits and pieces: What songs were sung, who spoke, what events took place. It was a painstaking process of getting one piece of information at a time. No Google search would satisfy the details that I needed.
I contacted one historian in Saratoga Springs who referred me to another in nearby Stillwater. I was referred to librarians who found details in their archives. All on paper of course! Again, they were not put into the internet so there was not a record online.
Then there were the 1977 airport scenes in my book. The differences in travel then vs now are astonishing. No jet ramps to smoothly guide you onto your flight. You had to walk across the tarmac and climb stairs to board. So what did the airport look like in Albany, New York? A wonderful public relations gentleman sent me a photo that he found from that era and emailed me other info so I could make the scenes accurate for that time.
The police chief in Saratoga Springs gave me a few details about uniforms, etc. in the late 1970's. I was connected to his email from one of the historians in that town.
I cannot wait until I visit the Saratoga area next spring. I have on my agenda personally shaking the hands of all those who patiently answered all my questions and took time out of their busy schedules to look up information for me.
As writers, it's so important to be grateful to those who help us. And I am so very grateful to my many new friends in Saratoga.
When I write my historical fiction novels, one of my favorite parts in the process is research. But that enjoyment became challenged when writing Saratoga Letters.
I usually write about just one era, focusing on the events, customs, and speech patterns of one decade in history. But two decades separated by 200 years? That's where the challenge came in.
It all began when my husband and I visited Saratoga National Historical Park in 2014. I had long wanted to visit there, as one of my ancestors fought there in a 1777 Revolutionary War battle. It was both inspiring and grieving to imagine the loss of life that occurred there and the lives that were changed forever. I hoped that my writer's muse would be stirred.
And it was—but not just from the battlefield. One of the historians happened to mention that there was a 200-year anniversary celebration in 1977 that attracted thousands from around the world to commemorate this important battle, which is often called the "turning point of the American Revolution." "Tom Brokaw even came and spoke," the historian said with enthusiasm.
I tucked that piece of information in my memory bank and we returned to the motel room in Saratoga Springs, New York. We were so tired of choosing typical motels along our long journey that when my husband pointed out this 1970's style motel on the main street, I said "sure." I was too tired to keep searching.
We grinned at the motel keys that were handed to us. It was a real key attached to a key chain, not one of the modern credit card-looking devices that unlock most hotel rooms in the 21st century. It was like visiting the past—but just a few decades ago.
The muse hadn't been completely stirred though until we were getting ready to check out of the motel room after a two-day stay. "Where is my key?" I wondered out loud. As usual, I had misplaced my keys. My patient husband rolled his eyes. I never did find it until after we'd returned home a thousand miles later.
But by then, the muse had struck. I began envisioning not just characters in the battle, but also their descendants 200 years later who came for the bicentennial. My writer's mind began weaving a plot of romance, danger, and suspense. Before we had reached our doorstep back home, I was tossing around ideas for a title.
Of course, I'd never written a book that required researching two completely separate centuries. And what surprised me even more was the ease with which I was able to glean facts for 1777—and the incredible challenge that researching 1977 became. There was no internet in 1977, so it was back to the basics. I pushed up my sleeves and started making phone calls.
Monday, January 23, 2017 Elaine will conclude her unique post entitled, "Researching Saratoga Letters, Part Two."
This past week, the first Friday the 13th of 2017 occurred. Do you avoid writing on the 13th, if it falls on a Friday? Does it matter? Are you superstitious? Do you get great ideas on a Friday the 13th?
A fear of Friday the 13th is called Paraskevidekatriaphobia, derived from the from the Greek words paraskeví meaning Friday, and dekatria meaning thirteen. Additionally, the number 666 is the number associated with the devil in many superstitions.
On January 13, 2017, Finnair created the quadfecta of superstitions. Flight 666 flew from Copenhagen to Helsinki. Helsinki airport's code is HEL, and the airplane was 13 years old. Flight tracker Twitter account Flightradar24 poked fun at the coincidence, saying: 'Would you dare to sit in row 13, on board Finnair flight 666 en route to Hel on Friday the 13th?' It's a crazy world, and we as writers get to craft stories that intrigue. As I've often blogged, real life events with a twist make for great fiction.
All this hoopla about Friday the 13th made me think about a car tag we once had. The vehicle was a new-to-us used car. A baby blue Suburban with wood panels and a hunting dog sun screen on the back window. My husband waited in the long line to get our car tags and pay the taxes. When it was finally his turn, he paid the fees and was handed the tag. He looked at the tag and then at the clerk and said, "really?" A conversation ensued and to get a different tag it would require going to the end of the line. So the tag "HRH666" went on the truck, and for years we kept coming up with acronyms for the "HRH." Driving a vehicle with a "666" tag was empowering, but I'm not superstitious.
What did I do on 1-13-17? I wrote this blog and a short story full of superstitious nonsense. It was fun. What did you write about on the first, Friday 13th, 2017?
Who am I? I am a challenger. If you can do it, I can do it better. Doubt me and I will show you. I never quit and I keep on writing. When I get where I'm going, I will tell you.
The title of my books are COTTON TOP, CAY SAL, DIAMONDS AND GOLD, Old GOLD, FIRE ISLAND, THE ITALIAN INCIDENTS, RED BULL, CRACKER 929, THE RIVER OF INTRIGUE, MEMPHIS INTRIGUE 1940, CHASING SECOND CHANCES, KATHERINE.
Where am I from? I was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. I left home in 1959 to go and be somebody, do everything I ever dreamed of, and travel the world. And that is what I did. I have been there and done that. Name it and I probably have been there and done that. I once was told I would never live to be 20. I more than tripled that and there is no reason I made it this far on my own. I believe in miracles, and that he walks with me and has allowed me to live this long for some reason.
What Genre do I write? Biography, Military, Murder Mystery, Assassins, Detective, Adventure, Under water Treasure Hunting, Adventure and Excitement, Romance and Westerns. Why so many? First of all, because, I learned a long time ago to write about what you know. And I am the main character in most of my books and most of the stories are true, the names have been changed. The places are real and really happened Secondly, when a reader is looking for a book to read, I can attract 12 different type readers. If I only wrote one type book, then I write for only one market. I ask myself how James Patterson sold 350 million books. The answer is he writes all kinds of books. He even writes children and cook books and how to books.
My writing style? I write for the majority of readers in the world. I don't write documentaries, text books, or books that draws that evil English expert that wants to pick everything to death. I write for the average person that is looking for a story that will hold him, anxious to get to the next page and when finished will look for my latest book. I write a lot like Stuart Wood and Sandra Brown.
Follow rules? No, I'm not a PHD of the English language nor do I want to match wits with another PHD.
Written anything the world is anxiously waiting to read? No. probably never will.
Have an editor? I have a few books that have been edited by an English PHD. But those books don't sell as good and are not as easy to read as the ones I edit. I edit them 5 or 6 times and I still miss things. But, I have only had one book returned that I know of. And they are so involved in the story; they don't notice a comma in the wrong place I guess. No one has ever complained and they brag on the stories.
Pay for book covers? No, I do my own.
Is anything challenging in my writing? At times. When I need more material or add on story. I do research and find real actual things that occurred and blend them into my stories.
For example modern day scuba divers are diving for gold that Pancho Villa stole from a train in 1823. I might put into the story, where did the gold the divers are looking for, come from and why.
Most of my characters write themselves, only a few do I write the characters. One character I wrote of was a red headed Scottish man. He was mysterious that drew you to him. Where is he going every day, where has he been and who is he really. He was a diamond thief burglar that broke into a house and safe stealing a million dollars' worth of diamonds that was stole from a Jewish man.
Do I ever write myself into my books? Yes, I have. The book I'm writing now has a woman reading a book written by Elbert Alberson. LOL Those that know me will get a kick out of it. Those that don't won't even notice it.
Is writing my only job? Yes, I'm retired and I write off and on all day and night, every day. Sometimes a thousand words, sometimes 2000 words at a time.
Who would I like to meet and talk too from the past, if I could? General Patton.
Found a great new way to market books? Well, library book readings, launches and book signings, sell a few books. I built stands that hold at least 2 of all 12 of my books and placed stands in 2 pharmacy and Gift store. By ordering 36 books at a time, the shipping is miniscule compared to one at a time. A booth at a big car show in the lady's section is air conditioned and sells a lot of books but they better sell because the cost of the space is high. It's best if you do that to have several authors to work in shifts and share the cost of the space.
What makes me stand out among other writers? Most of the writers I know have one or two books published. I have 12 and of mixed genre. My best seller is my autobiography. Why? Because I advertise on Facebook to school class reunions of two schools that I went to. Another thing that helps is the story of Elvis and me and Johnny cash and me and singer Ed Townsend and me. My military days gave me two books and I have them in Air Force Museums, other book stores and Military groups on Facebook. Also the fact I have been to 14 countries and 26 states. I have been all over the world and have stories of real life experiences.
The biggest tip I could give any writer is, Keep on Writing. I have three books in the making and ides for several more. The more the merrier because you are selling to a much larger crowd of mixed genre.

Philippine halal law to drive meat export growth
By Jens Kastner
05-Jun-2016 - Last updated on 06-Jun-2016 at 11:26 GMT
The new law could also boost halal meat trade with Malaysia and Indonesia
Related tags: United arab emirates, Philippines
Outgoing Philippine President Benigno Aquino has signed into law a consolidated measure on halal exports, which may help boost the country's meat exporters in the Middle East.
Currently, most of the Philippines' meat exports are processed meats, including corned beef and hot dog, while chilled chicken yakitori nuggets and Peking duck are also shipped to overseas markets.
The Philippine Halal Export Development and Promotion Act will create new halal export task forces and provide for upgrades to processing facilities, such as slaughterhouses, warehouses, and laboratories. It will also grant fiscal and non-fiscal incentives to attract investments in the halal export sector and, moreover, stipulates the issue of a new Philippine Halal logo. Although the new law took effect on May 31, budgets have yet to be disclosed.
"The Philippines' meat exports, including to the Islamic world, are still marginal, owing to limited output of the domestic livestock sector," said Abdul Rahman Linzag, president of the Islamic Da'wah Council of the Philippines (IDCP), which is one of the Philippines' five recognised halal certification and accreditation authorities.
"Meat processors from around the Philippines could benefit from increased halal exports, but less so those of Mindanao [the country's only predominately Muslim island], as Mindanao focuses on seafood and some agricultural products other than meat," he added.
Halal - a certification of quality
The Philippines' main player in halal exports is Peking duck producer Maharlika Agro Marine Venture Corporation. In December 2015, Maharlika secured halal accreditation from the Dubai ministry of environment and water, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), facilitating access for its Peking duck not only to Dubai and the rest of the UAE but also to other Middle East countries such as Oman, Qatar, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia.
There could be domestic benefits too. According IDCP's Linzag, halal certification of Philippine meat does not only concern Muslim consumers in this 87% Catholic country, as non-Muslim Filipinos increasingly see it as an actual certification of quality.
"As the halal meat certification entails many processes, from our monitoring of overseas cattle production facilities to the supervision of local meat processors, the certain end result is that the meat product is very reliable," he explained to GlobalMeatNews.
However, the law is controversial among the Philippines' Muslim community. This is because it effectively shifts halal-related authority from the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF), which is the link between the government and the country's Muslim minority, to the Catholic-dominated department of trade and industry.

Enner Valencia could miss West Ham's match at Arsenal on Saturday after cutting his big toe on a broken teacup.
The forward sustained a deep laceration of his big toe on Tuesday evening while at his home, according to the club website. He needed emergency hospital treatment to clean and stitch the wound after treading on a piece of teacup which he had dropped.
The Ecuador striker has made 30 appearances since joining West Ham from the Mexican side Pachuca in summer 2014, scoring five goals.
Valencia takes his place on a roll call of notorious football injuries which include another (one-time) Hammer Rio Ferdinand who, when at Leeds, strained a knee while watching television.
The American goalkeeper Kasey Keller knocked out his front teeth while pulling his golf clubs out of the boot of his car but even that was trumped by the Norwegian defender Svein Grondalen who had to withdraw from an international match during the 1970s after colliding with a moose while out jogging.


Dream analysis is one of the tools most often associated with Jungian analysis. In contrast to Freud's notion that the dream is censored, a disguised wish-fulfillment, Jung thought that the dream is a natural product of the psyche. The purpose of the dream is to compensate, balance and complete our one-sided view of ourselves by providing the other side of the story. However, dreams speak in a language of images, so it takes special work to learn to understand this language. Dreams reveal your unlived life, as well as your authentic inner voice.

There are several folks who are terrorized by just looking at a gun. This must not be so. Guns are in reality un-damaging until eventually a person makes use of it. The reality is that folks are perilous and not the guns. This stuff is only a device. It really is the owner who is in fact threatening. Owners and gun dealers are the ones liable for which circumstance the application of the gear brings about. When the gun is managed safely, there is minimum opportunity of having something unforeseen. However, doing otherwise can result to a very traumatizing and horrifying experience.
What most gun classifieds relay to possible gun owners is this fact. Guns will never be dangerous if utilized with high level of responsibility and cautiousness. Any neglect of the safety rules in handling a gun can result to unfavorable circumstances and may even lead to death. After all, this is the very purpose by which it was made for. It can kill anyone if someone pulls the trigger. This is the reason why you need to learn about gun safety more rigidly.
The basics of gun safety are actually handy and no brainer if mastered by gun owners. Some gun dealers have these tips provided to their customers before actually giving away the gun. Several gun classifieds have these tips posted on their websites as well. It is the actual observance and mastery of the rules in gun safety which is more important than owning the revolver to make sure no mishaps can occur.
The primary rule you must be mindful of is to address the gun as if it is fully loaded constantly even when it is not. Supposing that it is unloaded without checking it first is a very unsafe thing. You must keep yourself reminded to consistently imagine it that way regardless of whether you knew you have unloaded the bullets from the gun. Check the gun once more in the event someone held it for a while to make sure it is still unloaded. Not aim your gun to something you tend not to mean to shoot at the same time. That is a very unsafe habit and can be dangerous as well.
One reason related to unintended firing is that someone who holds the gun unconsciously pulls the trigger. Stay away from going through such situation by keeping your fingers off the trigger each time you hold a gun. The process can save lives. You furthermore must master the ins and outs of your gun. Not all guns are the same with each other. Each gun type has its own blueprint. You must be able to master how to clean up and preserve it the correct way. You must be proficient in revealing any faulty parts at the same time. Especially, be a responsible gun owner. This is the most vital step to achieve gun safety.
