Gmail has been updating their Compose button and it has been released today so you should be getting the option to activate it now.
I'll have the 8 second speed issue dealt with by the time America wakes up tomorrow (Wednesday).
The other bits are going to require a visual redesign, so will take a little longer – perhaps a week.
We're looking at how the new compose option works with AIB and what we will need to do to make everything gel and work properly. It's optional to have it at the moment but it will be rolling out at some point for everyone as a permanent feature.
You will already see that the HAB isn't showing on the pop up and another thing we've noted already is that when you open an email normally, the HAB is slow to drop in. Andy's on this and will get it sorted as soon as possible.
Please note that the incredibly useful "Compose Self" button also doesn't work with the new compose screen.
Of course, I think I wrote the blog post at 3am so clearly my brain was turning mushy!
I have turned it off for now but look forward to AIB supporting this for sure — but if I have to choose between the two for now it's definitely AIB that wins out!
I'll try and prioritise it!
Tough decision. Testament to how much your add-on has helped me out.
Thanks for working on an update so quickly!
I second the thanks for the quick updates. It's appreciated since AIB is important to my working. In my role though, I can't ignore the new compose, I have to support my user community. I also like the new interface after using it for a morning, so would LOVE it if the both can work together.
@andyrmitchell:disqus For my usage, Action Bar (specifically deadlines) are the highest priority for me to see when I compose a message.
I label emails and often assign a date just before I send them.
Andy, does this mean that later I'll be forced to change to the new GMail layout?
What about GoogleApps users? Because when people want to stick to the old layout, will AI4 still accomodate? Will this subsequently blow up the code base and decrease the performance?
There we go again, Gmail trying to fix something that wasn't broken–like the new UI we are all dealing with and no one likes.
I'm definitely a fan of the new compose box. My workaround is to check the "View Message" in the "Your message has been sent box" and add the Project, Status, and dates to the message post-sending. Not ideal but gives me the best of both worlds.
Any news on when it will be safe to try the new compose feature – I have not done so yet as I always label everything I compose before sending it so without my label system there is no point trying it.
I love you so much for steps 1 through 3 at the end of this article.
I hate the new compose. I need to be able to see previous emails. The new compose not only doesn't help, it's actually a hindrance to me and my work. And I need to be able to compose things to myself; it's often a useful way of saving information that I couldn't save otherwise. You're removing all the things I need and leaving me with NOTHING.
Please let me use the old system.. Its too small.. have trouble putting my recipients in. It is VERY hard to use. I HATE IT. I go with the saying .. if it isn't broke, don't fix it. This is nuts. I don't want to be in the inbox to compose an email.. I like old system.

Relationship between survival and initial rhythm after cardiac arrest
DOI: 10.26430/CHUNGARICA.2017.47.1.30
Szigethi Tímea, Pileczky Dávid, Pap Zsófia, Fekete-Győr Alexandra, Kovács Enikő, Heltai Krisztina, Molnár Levente, Ruzsa Zoltán, Bárczi György, Gellér László, Becker Dávid, Merkely Béla, Zima Endre
Semmelweis Egyetem, Városmajori Szív- és Érgyógyászati Klinika, Budapest
Background: The sudden cardiac death (SCD) is one of the main purposes of death in the developing countries. The most common causes of SCD are malignant arrhythmias. That could be devided into two major groups by sort: shockable (ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia) and non-shockable rhythms (asystole, pulseless electrical activity).
Aim and Methods: The aim of this study was to analize the long-term survival after SCD due to initial rhythm. The data were collected retrospectively from Semmelweis University Heart and Vascular Center between 2008 and 2011. We analized the data of 116 consecutive patient. Patients were devided to initial shockable (SR) and non-shockable rhythm (NSR) groups, and we compared the survival rates at hospital discharge, and after 1 and 3 months. Patients detected with unclear data of initial rhythm were excluded. Statistical analysis was performed with non-parametric tests, c2 test and t test.
Results: 67% of patients have got initially shockable rhythm. Patients with SR had a higher hospital discharge rate than those with NSR (54% vs. 16%, p=0.0002). The 1-month and 3-months survival rates were significantly higher in the SR group, than in the NSR in both cases, 60% vs. 24%, p=0.0001, and 49% vs. 16%, p=0.0004.
Conclusion: In our experience, after sudden cardiac death patients with initial shockable rhythm have higher chance of long-term survival, which contributes with international data.

Q: Visual Studio Code split terminal on startup Is there a way to have visual studio code launch the split terminal (Ctrl + \) on startup?
Or alternatively, is it possible to save my screen layout so I don't have to split the terminal manually?

A: Some of this functionality was added since the question was asked.  Now you can put this into your tasks.json:
 {
  "label": "SplitTerminalonStartip",
  "command": "${command:workbench.action.terminal.split}",
  "type": "shell",
  "problemMatcher": [],
  "runOptions": { "runOn": "folderOpen" }
},

and the terminal will be split on startup.

A: 1- inside .vscode folder tasks.json add two tasks
one to create a new terminal and another to split that terminal
2-run the SplitTerminalonStartup task once by clicking ctrl +shift +p and write "run task" and press enter then choose SplitTerminalonStartup after clicking that a pop up message appears asking to allow this task to run automatically every time you open up vscode
"tasks": [

    {
        "label": "CreateTerminalonStartup",
        "command": "${command:workbench.action.terminal.new}",
        "type": "shell",
        "problemMatcher": [],
    },
    {
        "label": "SplitTerminalonStartup",
        "dependsOn": [
            "CreateTerminalonStartup"
        ],
        "command": "${command:workbench.action.terminal.split}",
        "type": "shell",
        "problemMatcher": [],
        "runOptions": {
            "runOn": "folderOpen"
        }
    }
]

South East hailed as major start up hub
Money Posted 04/06/19
UK government-backed programme lends £45m to fund South East microbusinesses.
Small business is booming in the South East, according to new figures from the British Business Bank which shows that the Start Up Loans scheme has lent more than £45 million to microbusinesses in the region.
Latest data from the Government-backed programme reveals that since 2012 it has issued more than 5,543 loans, averaging £8,286 each, to aspiring business owners in the South East to kickstart new businesses.
Among the recipients is Alexandra McCabe, 34, the founder of FittaMamma, who used a fixed-term £10,000 loan from Start Up Loans – part of the British Business Bank – to launch her own maternity fitness wear brand in 2013.
Alexandra launched the business after struggling to find maternity fitness wear for her pregnant sister-in-law who wanted to stay fit but was confused by contradictory advice about exercising while pregnant. She also felt self-conscious about working out in conventional sportswear.
Taking matters into her own hands, Alexandra, from Brighton, decided to create her own e-commerce business to empower women to keep exercising through their pregnancies.
Alexandra designed a range of sportswear that would give pregnant women the confidence, reassurance and support to exercise while pregnant. She extended the concept by creating a website that provides a "one-stop shop" for information on health and well-being during pregnancy.
Since launch, the range has expanded and now supplies supportive fitnesswear to mums-to-be worldwide, including vests with motivational slogans to inspire their active pregnancies.
FittaMamma's Instagram channel also aims to specifically address misinformation and campaigns for change using #pregnantnotpowerless.
Alexandra McCabe, founder of FittaMamma, said: "We hear many stories of women not exercising because they're worried about harming their baby. When my sister-in-law fell pregnant, I noticed how difficult it was to find sportswear that gave her the confidence to continue exercising. After researching the subject, I also discovered how much contradictory information there was out there.
"This inspired me to face the challenge directly and create my own maternity fitness brand to empower mothers-to-be to stay active. Start Up Loans provided me with a fixed-rate loan, as well as mentoring support to help me get started.
"Since then, there's been a real positive shift in sentiment towards the subject and the trend for pregnant celebrities to post pictures on Instagram of their exercise routines has really helped. We're really proud of all the progress we've made over the past four years and we look forward to seeing what's in store for the rest of the year."
Patrick Magee, British Business Bank chief commercial officer, said: "Reaching £45million of funding in the South East is a real achievement and is testament to the ambitious spirit of new business owners in the South-East such as Alexandra.
"We're looking forward to seeing more new business owners take up funding to kickstart their own businesses."
Kelly Tolhurst MP, small business Minister, said: "The UK's 5.7 million small businesses are the backbone of our economy and we're dedicated to helping them thrive through our modern Industrial Strategy, ensuring we retain our status as one of the best places in the world to start and grow a small business.
"Reaching this important milestone reflects the success of UK government-backed start-up loans in supporting entrepreneurs across the South East helping them form new businesses that grow local economies and are at the heart of our communities."

5 takeaways on the western Pennsylvania special election results
By Laura Olson
Call Washington Bureau |

Hours after polls closed Tuesday night in western Pennsylvania's special election, it appeared that Democrats had flipped their first congressional seat of what they hope will be a wild, wave election year.
That result was not yet final: Democrat Conor Lamb led Republican Rick Saccone by 579 votes as Tuesday night bled into Wednesday morning.
Candidates, supporters, reporters and politicos waited up for county election officials in the 18th Congressional District — which stretches from Pittsburgh's southern suburbs to the state's southwestern corner — to tally absentee ballots.
Lamb declared victory early Wednesday morning, and Saccone announced he was not yet conceding. But several takeaways already were becoming clear:
1. The safe Republican seat became anything but.
[More News] Days after jumping from burning home in Bath, man pushes down woman and robs her, state police say »
This wasn't 2016 all over again in the district that Donald Trump won by double-digits and then-Congressman Tim Murphy had no opponent.
Voters showed a shift — and in one direction, as shown in a graphic posted by Decision Desk HQ's J. Miles Coleman.
While Trump had won far more precincts in the district than Hillary Clinton, Lamb was able to win in 172 of those won by Trump.
Saccone, unsurprisingly, won in zero of precincts that Clinton had won.
Why is #PA18 so close? Lamb held 122 Clinton precincts, plus is flipping 172 Trump precincts. Not surprisingly, there were no Clinton -> Saccone precincts. pic.twitter.com/Hh9m5zGwTq
— J. Miles Coleman (@JMilesColeman) March 14, 2018
2. The candidates mattered
Lamb was an ideal fit for the district: a young veteran and former prosecutor, he largely kept the conversation away from the president. He ran a centrist campaign: voicing his personal opposition to abortion, running an ad showing himself shooting a gun, and saying he wouldn't support Nancy Pelosi as Republicans sought to tie him to the polarizing Democratic leader.
Saccone, meanwhile, took flak from his fellow party members — quietly after he prevailed from a contested county nominating process in November, and more loudly in the final weeks as polls showed the Republican seat to be in serious jeopardy.
The conservative state lawmaker didn't raise much money, requiring national groups to step in on his behalf.
He sought to align himself with Trump, who visited twice to bolster Saccone and sent his children as surrogates as well. But the affiliation wasn't enough: Saccone couldn't replicate the enthusiasm that Trump had generated.
Clear lesson for Republicans tonight. Candidates and campaigns matter. We can't take any district for granted.
— Mark Davin Harris (@markdharris) March 14, 2018
3. Geography mattered.
The southwestern Pennsylvania district straddled two critical geographic areas.
Its southern section is rural, dotted with legacy coal towns that have been trending away from Democrats in recent cycles and did so by larger numbers in 2016. Trump and Saccone did well in much of that area.
[More News] Allentown Parking Authority defends ban on backing in, pledges greater public outreach on garage rules »
But Lamb did well in the more densely populated suburban section, home to the swing voters that Republicans will have to convince if they are going to hold on to the U.S. House nationally. Those areas, particularly in Allegheny County, turned out strongly for the Democrat.
4. Money didn't change the tide.
National Republican groups poured in more than $10 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Almost $7.7 million was spent attacking Lamb.
Liberal groups spent less than $2 million, according to the group's tallies.
As for the candidates themselves, Lamb raised nearly $3.9 million, compared to less than $1 million for Saccone.
5. Democrats have a win to keep base motivated
But there's a catch: the rejiggered congressional map means that Lamb will run for a full term in a new district, facing off against Republican U.S. Rep. Keith Rothfus in the 17th. That district is now friendlier to Democrats than under the 2011-drawn district boundaries, but has a better-known and better-funded Republican incumbent.
(Saccone has said he would run in the reconfigured 14th District, which includes much of the district that he ran in Tuesday. He doesn't live in that district — his home was drawn into the same district with Democratic U.S. Rep. Mike Doyle)
Despite those unusual logistics, Democrats were feeling good Tuesday night about the potential to build on the results.
When all the votes are counted I believe Lamb will end up winning by about 400 to 500 votes. The fact we are winning an R+11 seat should terrify the GOP. There are over 100 current GOP house seats that are closer than #PA18 #BlueWaveIsComing

Kate Moss Mariacarla Boscono Candice Swanepoel Jourdan Dunn Amber Valletta Alek Wek
Eli Mizrahi has praised supermodel Kate Moss as ''Kate the Great'' after her work on his Monot campaign.
Eli Mizrahi has lavished praise on Kate Moss.
The 46-year-old supermodel stars in the campaign for the Lebanese designer's Mônot collection, which was shot in Al Ula in Saudi Arabia and Eli says Kate was the ''keystone'' of the star-studded photoshoot.
He wrote on Instagram: ''Kate the Great, you showed me just what a star you are. You trusted me and jumped blindly into this project. You gave it your heart and soul and you were the keystone to making this campaign a success.''
Mariacarla Boscono, Candice Swanepoel, Jourdan Dunn, Amber Valletta, Xiao Wen and Alek Wek also star in the campaign and Eli praised them for their work during the photoshoot.
He wrote: ''Alek, Amber, Candice, Jourdan, Mariacarla, and Xiao Wen you embody the inclusive cross-cultural swath of empowered women that Mônot wants to dress. Thank you for flying in from all over the world to be part of this passion project.''
Eli also paid tribute to photographers Luigi and Iango and French fashion editor Carine Roitfeld, who has been a huge supporter of his brand.
He said: ''Luigi & Iango the incredible images and film you created for this campaign have a timeless beauty that pulls you in and makes you think. I know how much hard work you put into this project, but when you look at the results they have an effortless grace to them.
''Carine I just want to say thank you for everything! Your sleek, chic, and sexy aesthetic dovetail perfectly with that of the Mônot woman. You are not afraid to tell it like it is, even when I don't want to hear it. You keep me honest and you keep me focused.''
And finally, Eli also took time to praise himself for his ''drive and passion''.
He said: ''They say, there is no 'I' in team but let me tell you there is an 'I' in this!!!
''So last but not least I want to thank myself for going against the expected. For the drive and passion that I dedicated to this project. What I was able to achieve with my first campaign, as the founder of an emerging independent brand, is pretty fanfreakingtastic. And above all, I want to thank myself for not giving up on my dreams. It's moments like these, when everyone thinks I'm crazy, that I push even harder. I always welcome a challenge. As my father always said, 'Follow your dreams and you will never lose sight of your goals'.''

The immune system is central to human health and the focus of much medical research. Growing understanding of the immune system, and especially the creation of immune memory (long lasting protection), which can be harnessed in the design of vaccines, have been major breakthroughs in medicine. In this Very Short Introduction, Paul Klenerman describes the immune system, and how it works in health and disease. In particular he focuses on the human immune system, considering how it evolved, the basic rules that govern its behavior, and the major health threats where it is important. The immune system comprises a series of organs, cells and chemical messengers which work together as a team to provide defence against infection. Klenerman discusses these components, the critical signals that trigger them and how they exert their protective effects, including so-called "innate" immune responses, which react very fast to infection, and "adaptive" immune responses, which have huge diversity and a capacity to recognize and defend against a massive array of micro-organisms. Klenerman also considers what happens when our immune systems fail to be activated effectively, leading to serious infections, problems with inherited diseases, and also HIV/AIDS. At the opposite extreme, as Klenerman shows, an over-exaggerated immune response leads to inflammatory diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, as well as allergy and asthma. Finally he looks at the "Immune system v2.o" - how immune therapies and vaccines can be advanced to protect us against the major diseases of the 21st century.

Veterinary Science A Very Short Introduction
Author : James Yeates
Format : PDF, ePub
Every year billions of animals, from housecats to racehorses to pythons, are treated by veterinarians. The use of veterinary science to treat the health of animals has a long history; for the past five centuries it has developed as our understanding of animals' fundamental biology, pathology, and pharmacology has grown. Rapid global changes expected in the twenty-first century will require the profession to respond proactively, embracing new challenges and opportunities. James Yeates, Chief Veterinary Officer of the RSPCA, introduces the field of veterinary science, covering the history of its scientific and clinical aspects from early practices to recent challenges such as the outbreak of BSE and antibiotic resistance, and considering the differences between human medicine and veterinary medicine. Analysing the key roles played by diagnosis, treatment, and prevention with regard to the health of farm animals and pets, he relates this to wider aspects concerning public health, such as zoonoses (diseases that jump from animals to humans). Yeates also covers recent 'One Health' approaches involving the health of both humans and animals, seen as synergistic, and discusses the challenges for the future of veterinary medicine, including the ethical dilemmas in balancing the interests of owners and animals when they do not coincide.

Drugs A Very Short Introduction
Author : Leslie Iversen
Format : PDF, Mobi
The book gives a non-technical account of how drugs work in the body. The twentieth century saw a remarkable upsurge of research on drugs, with major advances in the treatment of bacterial and viral infections, heart disease, stomac ulcers, cancer, and metal illnesses. These, along with the introduction of the oral contraceptive, have altered all of our lives. There has also been an increase in the recreational use and abuse of drugs in the Western world. The book reviews both legal (alcohol, nicotine, and caffeine) and illegal drugs and disscusses current idea about why some are addictive, and whether drug laws need reform.

Viruses A Very Short Introduction
Author : Dorothy H. Crawford
Format : PDF, Docs
Author : Marta Wayne
As doctors and biologists have learned, to their dismay, infectious disease is a moving target: new diseases emerge every year, old diseases evolve into new forms, and ecological and socioeconomic upheavals change the transmission pathways by which disease spread. By taking an approach focused on the general evolutionary and ecological dynamics of disease, this Very Short Introduction provides a general conceptual framework for thinking about disease. Ecology and evolution provide the keys to answering the "where", "why", "how", and "what" questions about any particular infectious disease: where did it come from? How is it transmitted from one person to another, and why are some individuals more susceptible than others? What biochemical, ecological, and evolutionary strategies can be used to combat the disease? Is it more effective to block transmission at the population level, or to block infection at the individual level? Through a series of case studies, Benjamin Bolker and Marta L. Wayne introduce the major ideas of infectious disease in a clear and thoughtful way, emphasizing the general principles of infection, the management of outbreaks, and the evolutionary and ecological approaches that are now central to much research about infectious disease.

Teeth A Very Short Introduction
Author : Peter S. Ungar
Genre : Social Science
Teeth are amazing - the product of half a billion years of evolution. They provide fuel for the body by breaking apart other living things; and they must do it again and again over a lifetime without themselves being broken in the process. This means that plants and animals have developed tough or hard tissues for protection, and teeth have evolved ways to sharpen or strengthen themselves to overcome those defences. And just as different jobs require different tools, animals with different diets have different shaped teeth to deal with the variety of foods that they eat. In this Very Short Introduction, Peter S. Ungar, an award-winning author and leading scientist, presents the story of teeth. Ungar outlines the key concepts, including insights into the origin of teeth and their evolution. Considering why teeth are important, he describes how they are made, and how they work, including their fundamental importance in the fossil record. Ungar finishes with a review of mammal teeth, looking at how they evolved and how recent changes to our diet are now affecting dental health.

Hormones A Very Short Introduction
Author : Martin Luck
Genre : Science
Format : PDF, ePub, Docs
Hormones play an integral part in the balance and workings of the body. While many people are broadly aware of their existence, there are many misconceptions and few are aware of the nature and importance of the endocrine system. In this Very Short Introduction, Martin Luck explains what hormones are, what they do, where they come from, and how they work. He explains how the endocrine system operates, highlighting the importance of hormones in the regulation of water and salt in the body, how they affect reproduction and our appetites, and how they help us adjust to different environments, such as travel across time zones. In this fresh and modern treatment, Luck also touches on the ethical and moral issues surrounding research methods, testing on animals, and hormone misuse.

Complexity A Very Short Introduction
Author : John H. Holland
Genre : Mathematics
Read : 1190
The importance of complexity is well-captured by Hawking's comment: "Complexity is the science of the 21st century". From the movement of flocks of birds to the Internet, environmental sustainability, and market regulation, the study and understanding of complex non-linear systems has become highly influential over the last 30 years. In this Very Short Introduction, one of the leading figures in the field, John Holland, introduces the key elements and conceptual framework of complexity. From complex physical systems such as fluid flow and the difficulties of predicting weather, to complex adaptive systems such as the highly diverse and interdependent ecosystems of rainforests, he combines simple, well-known examples — Adam Smith's pin factory, Darwin's comet orchid, and Simon's 'watchmaker' — with an account of the approaches, involving agents and urn models, taken by complexity theory.

Genes A Very Short Introduction
Author : Jonathan Slack
In this exploration of the concept of the gene, Jonathan Slack looks at the discovery, nature, and role of genes in both evolution and development. Explaining the nature of genetic variation in the human population, how hereditary factors were identified as molecules of DNA, and how certain specific mutations can lead to disease, Slack highlights how DNA variants are used to trace human ancestry and migration, and can also used by forensic scientists to identify individuals in crime. He also explores issues such as the role of genetic heritability and IQ as well as the changes that occur in the genes of populations during evolution. An ideal guide for anyone curious about what genes are and how genetics can be put to use, this Very Short Introduction demonstrates the ways in which the gene concept has been understood and used by molecular biologists, population biologists, and social scientists around the world.

The Vikings A Very Short Introduction
Author : Julian D. Richards
Genre : History
The Viking reputation is of bloodthirsty seafaring warriors, repeatedly plundering the British Isles and the North Atlantic throughout the early Middle Ages. Yet Vikings were also traders, settlers, and farmers, with a complex artistic and linguistic culture, whose expansion overseas led them to cross the Atlantic for the first time in European history. Highlighting the latest archaeological evidence, Julian Richards reveals the whole Viking world: their history, society and culture, and their expansion overseas for trade, colonization, and plunder. We also look at the Viking identity, through their artistic expression, rune stones, their ships, and their religion. The Viking story is also brought up to date, by examining their legacy from the medieval Icelandic sagas to 19th Century nationalism, Wagner, and the Nazis.

Cancer A Very Short Introduction
Author : Nick James
In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a 'war' on cancer. More than 30 years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around 1 in 3 developing the disease. Curing cancer is not 'rocket science', but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.

Dreaming A Very Short Introduction
Author : J. Allan Hobson
Genre : Psychology
What is dreaming, and what causes it? Why are dreams so strange and why are they so hard to remember? Replacing dream mystique with modern dream science, J. Allan Hobson provides a new and increasingly complete picture of how dreaming is created by the brain. Focusing on dreaming to explain the mechanisms of sleep, this book explores how the new science of dreaming is affecting theories in psychoanalysis, and how it is helping our understanding of the causes of mental illness. J. Allan Hobson investigates his own dreams to illustrate and explain some of the fascinating discoveries of modern sleep science, while challenging some of the traditionally accepted theories about the meaning of dreams. He reveals how dreaming maintains and develops the mind, why we go crazy in our dreams in order to avoid doing so when we are awake, and why sleep is not just good for health but essential for life.

I'm learning a ton from Pam Houston here in Provincetown at the Fine Arts Work Center workshops. One of the most important things is how adopting a form or structure for your writing can set it free. Let me give you an example. In Pam's latest book, Contents May Have Shifted, she decided to write 144 chapters, each of them taking place in some location around the world. She is a big traveler and constantly collects and writes about moments that resonate with her. She calls these moments "glimmers." As soon as she decided (and it was a process much more involved than what I'm describing here) to write the 144 chapters, she felt relief because she knew where she was going. She also decided that twelve of those chapters had to take place on a plane. There were other "rules" she imposed on the writing to give it form, but that gives you an example.
Here's what Poets.org says about pantoums: "An incantation is created by a pantoum's interlocking pattern of rhyme and repetition; as lines reverberate between stanzas, they fill the poem with echoes. This intense repetition also slows the poem down, halting its advancement." I suggest you try this poem and see what evolves. You will be amazed.
Another type of structure she imposed on us was to write a story that had 26 sentences. Each sentence had to start with successive letters of the alphabet. So the first sentence had to start with A, the next sentence B, the next sentence C. Furthermore, one sentence had to be at least 100 words long and one sentence had to be one word long. The point of this exercise is to get you out of your comfort zone and explore sentence construction and meaning in a whole new way. In other words, this form sets you free to explore writing you hadn't visited before.
Try these exercises and let me know what you think. In the meantime, here is the "alphabet" story I came up with.
A terrible thing happened the other day.
Climate change finally culminated in the way predicted.
Droughts grabbed the planet by the throat.
Earth gave up its ghost.
Folks, families, friends and foes rushed to the Walmart Supercenter to stock up on super-sized packages of bottled water, AA and 9-volt batteries, transistor radios, candles, charcoal, matches, freeze-dried chicken teriyaki, peanut butter crackers, Smart Food kettle corn popcorn, Weight Watchers reduced fat Colby and Monterey jack cheese sticks, Nature Valley granola thins, Ocean Spray assorted fruit flavor snacks, Zone perfect double dark chocolate nutrition bars, naturally flavored honey nut cheerios, snack pack sugar free vanilla puddings – the six count packs, not the two count ones — Gain Laundry fabric softener sheets original scent, Scot paper towels, and toilet paper.
"Get out here," the Walmart greeters said.
"Is this really the end?" the humans asked from the air-conditioned comfort of their SUVs.
Just as they were about to give up, someone way in the back of the parking lot raised his hand.
Mars, everyone agreed, was obviously the closest rock.
People boarded the shuttles two-by-two.
Quietly, they put on their zero-gravity space suits.
Ten months went by before they reached the Red Planet, and as might be expected, everyone had to use the bathroom.
Unfortunately, the bathrooms on Mars were for customers only.
Venus, now they have some nice bathrooms.
Zodiacs were consulted as the solar system imploded.
This story is great, a mindblower, despite the sad ending … damn, we almost made it. Darn that implosion. Next time let's get our of our solar system … or maybe outside the galaxy. Though I'm sure bathroom urgency will be all the greater on those trips. Any, amazing … not just alphabetical.

The movie poster for 'Kill the Messenger' starring Jeremy Renner.
On December 10, 2004 acclaimed and eventually disgraced journalist Gary Webb was found dead from two gunshots to the head. The death would be ruled a suicide. After a struggle with depression and what should have been a career making story in 1996, that ended up destroying his career, Webb was no longer actively working in journalism by the time of his death.
But long before the "Dark Alliance" series that revealed a connection between the CIA and cocaine distribution, Webb was a young journalist with big dreams. He served as Arts & Entertainment Editor at The Northerner, here at NKU, and spent the beginning of his professional career at the Kentucky Post. Webb's life ended sadly, but friends, family, teachers and colleagues always remembered the man and journalist they all knew.
Cheerleaders toting fake guns and wearing camo march out onto the field at halftime during a football game. Gary Webb, a high school student who's never really written before, has something to say about it. Webb writes a column expressing his opinions on the cheer routine successfully angering a large portion of the student body.
From that moment on Gary Webb would be a journalist that ruffled feathers and made his mark.
In 1974, Webb's father received a job in Cincinnati. Instead of staying behind to continue attending Indiana University/Purdue University (IUPI), Webb and his brother transferred to Northern Kentucky University.
At NKU Webb would be given his first chance to truly venture into journalism at The Northerner.
Webb, and Funk as well, were products of the Woodward and Bernstein age. Just as Webb had peaked his interest in journalism during high school, the entire Watergate scandal had occurred and the film starring Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman would be released just before he began college. Suddenly the idea of being a reporter had become a romantic and cool notion, according to Funk.
Webb and Funk would become close, often working beside one another in their entertainment critic roles. Webb, just as he was in life, would write with strong opinions.
"We were the cool ones," Funk joked.
Rich Boehne, a former Northerner staffer, wouldn't work closely with Webb, but was well aware of who he was.
"He had one of those bigger than life personalities," Boehne said.
Webb would write countless music reviews and be named Arts and Entertainment Editor, but something beyond the music would catch Webb's attention. Times were turbulent at The Northerner, Funk said. The paper essentially had a censor, who would read everything they intended to print to approve it. Often though editors, especially Webb and Funk, would print things unseen by the censor.
"We were very rebellious," Funk, now a reporter for the Charlotte Observer, said.
The rebellion would continue with the more controversy that occurred on campus. Funk recalls a time when the university raised parking fees and that was a moment that changed the two entertainment critics. From there they would be true reporters.
Webb and The Northerner team were unafraid to call then NKU president Frank Steely out on issues within the university.
"Their attitude was that if The Washington Post had gotten a president then they wanted to get a president too. That led to some real trouble between them and Frank Steely," Michael Turney, a former NKU professor, said.
During that turbulence, a small fire would occur during a party at The Northerner. No major damage happened, the building wasn't even closed down. Shortly after, however the university police would padlock the doors and essentially kick the staff out of the building.

A reporter from the Louisville Courier Journal happened to be on campus reporting on the protests about parking and the turbulence. He then heard about the Northerner getting locked out and the next day they were on the front cover of the Louisville Courier Journal the next day. Those events would solidify Webb, and Funk's, love of investigative journalism.
"We were really into it all, we were like 'forget music and movies lets do the real newsy stuff'," Funk said.
Even in those early days Webb was irreverent in his writing and Funk noticed.
While Funk got to know Webb at the newspaper, Turney got to know Webb as a student.
"Gary was very bright. He caught on very quickly, he was also very opinionated. He really loved doing things his way," Turney said.
Just as he was in his music reviews and critiques, Webb was always willing to speak up in a class.
While Webb was a stand-out as a student and as a writer at The Northerner he would leave NKU in 1978 just shy of graduating. Even though he left, his then girlfriend and eventual wife Sue Bell-Stokes could always see how much Webb enjoyed his time at NKU.
"He really enjoyed working at the newspaper," Bell-Stokes said.
Turney would lose contact with Webb only hearing about him through other students, while Funk would remain in contact for numerous years after Webb left NKU. The two would however lose touch as the years went by, but Funk has always remembered his friend.
"Gary just wanted to start being a news reporter," Funk said.
Webb was ready to be in the field for real. So, in 1978, just shy of earning his bachelor's degree, Webb stepped into the offices at the Kentucky Post. He was young and experiencing what was quite possibly the only case of slight nervousness any of his friends would ever see from him.
All he had in his hands was large folder of clips of his work, most of which were music reviews. Compared to other reporters it didn't look as though Webb was qualified, but it seemed Vance Trimble, the Kentucky Post editor at the time, saw a bright young man. Trimble took a gamble, placing Webb on a few week trial period.
That gamble would pay off. The saga of Webb's professional years would begin inside the humble walls of the Kentucky Post.
"He automatically struck me as a personable, friendly, just smart guy," Tom Loftus, a former Kentucky Post staffer and friend of Webb's, said.
Loftus, now the bureau chief of the Louisville Courier Journal, along with Bill Straub would become incredibly close with Webb during his tenure at the post.
While they were close friends they were also strong colleagues. Straub especially would work with Webb on numerous stories and in their work together he got to witness firsthand how Webb worked as a journalist.
"He was very aggressive. He was like a bulldog on your ankle once he started on something he wouldn't quit," Straub said.

Loftus saw that same relentless journalist in his days working with Webb.
Both Straub and Loftus would marvel at Webb's ability to comb through pages and pages of records and be able to understand and interpret every bit he read.
"He was the kind of person that was never satisfied of an answer unless he knew how that answer came to be," Dennis Repenning, a neighbor and friend of Webb's, said.
Repenning got to know Webb and his wife at the time Sue Bell-Stokes in Covington where they both lived. According to Repenning, the 20-block radius of homes had a "rather extraordinary gathering of people." There were lawyers, writers, reporters and judges and they would all gather together to discuss everything.
Outside of his work his wife, who knew him best, didn't just see the hardworker, she saw a lot more.
Boehne, who worked at the Enquirer and would join the Post a year after Webb left, remembers the stories he'd hear of the fellow local journalist.
From Com-Air plane crashes to coroner races, Webb's work at the Kentucky Post would pave the way to Webb earning a job at The Cleveland Plain Dealer. At the Plain Dealer, Webb would do what Loftus considered his finest work.
Straub and Loftus would remain in contact with Webb after he left the Post, going on multiple family vacations where they fondly remember Webb's love of body surfing and the experiencing the best vacations of their lives. Bell-Stokes remembers those trips and the good friends they made while he was at the Post. However, once Webb and his family moved to California they would mostly remain in contact via email.
Loftus would ask Webb for his journalistic advice from time to time and catch up, he'd even make one trip to Sacramento to see him. Beyond email, Straub would once encounter Webb during a book tour, passing through D.C.
"He was a great journalist and a great guy at the same time," Straub said.
With his humble Kentucky Post beginnings and his stellar work at The Cleveland Plain Dealer behind him, Webb would begin working at the San Jose Mercury, where his career would be forever changed.
In July, 1995, while working at the San Jose Mercury, Webb received a voicemail from a woman named Coral Baca. She simply said she had a story for him, he could have ignored it because of the lack of information she provided.
However, it wasn't in Webb's nature to ignore, he made a call to Baca, met with her to discuss her drug dealer boyfriend and so began the year long journey to write the story that would both make his career and inevitably break it.
Gary would comb through hundreds of records and meet with dozens of sources before releasing the 'Dark Alliance' series. The three-part story investigated the roots of the crack cocaine epidemic in the U.S. It would show how the crack market spread from Central America to the western world, revealing that the CIA aided the Nicaraguan Contras in introducing the drug to the West.
On August 18, 1996 part one was released both in print and online. The online aspect would be attributed to a large part of why the story blew up the way it did; it would be one of the first stories to be released in the digital form.
"It didn't surprise me that Gary would produce something like that, it was the kind of splash he wanted to make," Loftus said.
"It wasn't a surprise, if someone was going to break a story like that it was Gary Webb," Boehne said.
Boehne also recalls the dreams they had in college about breaking big scandals like Woodward and Bernstein did with Watergate.
"In the wake of Watergate, we all thought we were going to break that big secret the president had or something like that and as it turns out that's actually what Gary did," Boehne said.
The story was met with acclaim and then criticism came quickly. Major publications like The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times would accuse Webb of having multiple inaccuracies and sources that lacked credibility.
"[A former student doing something like] That comes with a sense of pride and satisfaction, but also a little bit of head shaking because of all the circumstances and the questions about the validity of some of the story," Turney said.
Webb's story would eventually receive so much heat that his own publication would stop backing him. He was relocated to a smaller bureau, essentially starting from the bottom again. Then Jerry Ceppos, Webb's executive editor at The San Jose Mercury, would announce he was writing a mea culpa that would admit to faults in Webb's story. In December, 1997 Webb would leave the Mercury.
Though the criticism was heavy, Webb would always stand behind his own story.
"The most important thing with that story ["Dark Alliance"] was his courage. He very easily could have decided to bail at any time, but he never did," Repenning said.
In 1998 the CIA would release a 400-page report that would prove a number of Webb's findings to be true. However, the report would be largely ignored due to media being consumed with the President Clinton, Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Webb would never work regularly in journalism again.
After Webb's death in 2004, Nick Shou would pen the novel "Kill the Messenger" chronicling Webb's life and the story that would end his career. In the book, released in 2006, Shou would use first hand accounts from Webb's family, former colleagues, critics and supporters.
Shou knew Webb and before even beginning he went to Bell-Stokes asking for her permission to write her former husbands story. She trusted in Shou, knowing that he knew the "Dark Alliance" story, and she knew how fond of Shou Gary was.
"I knew Gary would be honored to have Nick write it," Bell-Stokes said.
The book would also include first-hand accounts from Webb himself taken from his book "Dark Alliance" which included the three-part series as well as Webb's account of the process that occurred while he worked on the series of stories.
Bell-Stokes found talking about the events difficult, especially so soon after Webb's death, but knew it was important to tell the story.
"It was very emotional reading the book, but it also brought some smiles from when we were younger," Bell-Stokes said.
The book "Kill the Messenger" along with Webb's book "Dark Alliance" would be the inspiration for the upcoming film.
In 2013 it was announced that a film documenting Webb's "Dark Alliance" journey would be released starring Jeremy Renner (The Avengers, The Hurt Locker). The movie titled 'Kill the Messenger,' sharing the title of Shou's 2006 book, will be released this month.
"I wasn't necessarily into news or journalism, but it's one of the reasons I wanted to take on the role because journalism itself is interesting to me," Renner, who plays Webb, said.

It's been a long journey to making the film. Sue Bell-Stokes, Webb's ex, first met with the screenwriter in 2008. Bell-Stokes would be a consultant throughout the process of the film.
"I really like Michael Cuesta [the director], he knows the story really well," Bell-Stokes said.
Renner, who is also a producer on the film, felt the story was important. He couldn't believe that the events occurred only 70 miles from where he grew up.
Michael Cuesta, the director of the movie, felt it was a film he had to do as well and, unlike Renner, he remembered seeing Webb on talk shows when the story broke.
Renner not only liked the story, but also the man.
For Renner, the family dynamic of the film was very important and playing a man who was real added something to his performance.
Michael K. Williams (The Wire), who plays drug dealer Ricky Ross, felt the same.
Michael K. Williams at a press event for 'Kill the Messenger'.
Williams was granted the opportunity to meet the man he portrays, Renner however will never have that chance. But if he did he'd love to talk to the man Gary Webb, not necessarily the journalist.
"What made him laugh, you know, the simplest little things that had nothing to do with his job or anything. Just very personal things, that's what I'd ask him," Renner said.
Though he didn't get to know every little thing and Cuesta sees Renner and Webb as two very different men, Renner did find himself having commonalities with Webb.
Being based on a true story, Cuesta was posed with the challenge of both telling the story accurately and keeping the story entertaining.
"You know the basics of what Gary was like, he was a dogget, Doberman, pushy reporter and he kind of had a cockiness to him," Cuesta said.
With the basics in place Cuesta did take some liberties with the story with the permission of Bell-Stokes.
"Things were changed, but heart the of the movie was correct," Bell-Stokes said.
Bell-Stokes has now seen the film multiple times. The first time it was a viewing of the rough cut and she was left feeling numb. By her second viewing they had put the finishing touches on the film and this time she viewed it with her and Webb's children. Bell-Stokes said they all loved it, there were tears, but we they were all moved by it. The third time was at a friends and family screening which made Bell-Stokes feel happy being surrounded by all those people.
Cuesta sees the thriller tropes in the story and knows that as viewers watch Webb get deeper into the story they'll see it become bigger than him and possibly become an unwinnable war.
"Our protagonist does not win in the end, he takes the brunt of everything," Cuesta said.
Even though Webb didn't win in the end, Renner sees Webb as a hero that was unafraid to go down roads to tell an important story.
"He was a warrior with his mind," Renner said. The film will be released on Oct. 10 nationwide.
In 2013, when the film adaptation of Nick Schou's "Kill the Messenger" was announced, Dennis Repenning, current chair of NKU's Board of Regents, and Regent Richard Boehne caught wind of the adaptation. Both were personal friends of Webb, and he and Repenning were neighbors.
Their work, and the work of Katie Herschede, executive assistant to President Mearns, and The Owens Group, a local public relations firm, have led to a special screening on Oct. 2 at the AMC Theater at Newport on the Levee.
According to Herschede, after hearing about the movie, Repenning and Boehne began to write to Focus Features, the film's production company, in order to explain the connection to NKU and the Northern Kentucky region, to ask permission for the special screening. According to Repenning, out the 11 board members, three knew Webb which is what truly "got the ball rolling" on the screening.
Herschede said that the university didn't hear anything for several months, while the film was in production. However, Focus Features did end up sending a copy of the letter to The Owens Group.
NKU was contacted by Jessica Johnston, an NKU graduate who works for The Owens Group, saying that they were very interested in setting up the special screening.
"According to them [The Owens Group], it's very unusual that anyone gets to do any kind of special screening like this," Herschede said.
Michael Cuesta, the director of the film, will be attending screening, and will be holding a discussion afterwards. Sue Bell-Stokes, Webb's ex-wife who helped as a consultant on the film, will also be attending, according to Herschede.
Attendance to the screening is by invitation only.
