Masks required in Daytona? Mayor Derrick Henry may order faces to be covered in public
mark.harper@news-jrnl.com
UPDATE: Daytona mask requirement to be considered Friday
Daytona Beach Mayor Derrick Henry said Wednesday not enough people are voluntarily wearing face masks in public to prevent coronavirus spread and he could order masks be required by the end of this week.
Florida and Volusia County have seen an increased number of coronavirus cases in recent weeks, with health officials attributing that to both more testing and community spread. And some communities across the state, including Orange County, have determined simply asking residents to wear masks and wash hands is not enough.

Henry said he is working with City Attorney Robert Jagger on an executive order that could do one of two things: require masks in public places where social distance is not possible; or require masks in essential businesses.

"Either way, I do believe it will help stop the spread," Henry said. "We have to do something to protect our senior citizens."
Daytona Beach is populated by more than the 70,000 who call it home, Henry said. With millions of visitors each year, the city's density is greater on any given day.
As of Wednesday, Daytona Beach has more cases, 359, than any other city in Volusia County, with Deltona following at 200, according to the Florida Department of Health coronavirus dashboard.
Florida hit a daily record of 5,507 new cases announced Wednesday, including 68 in Volusia County.
"I'm in constant contact with our senior citizens in the community," Henry said. "They are alarmed at what they see when they are visiting the doctor, going to the grocery store, the pharmacy, things they have to do and no one is covered."
Henry said he can issue an executive order before the next City Commission meeting on July 1.
Other states, including California, have required people to wear masks outside of their homes. Communities in Florida that have also established facial-covering requirements include Palm Beach County, Miami, Tampa and Pinellas County.
Last week Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings ordered all persons to wear a face covering over their noses and mouths while in any public place. The Orange County order does not contain any provisions for enforcement, such as fines.
Pasco County, on Florida's west coast, voted Tuesday to require masks be worn in all government offices and businesses, with $250 fines part of the enforcement.
Volusia County Chair Ed Kelley said Wednesday he wears masks in public and wants others to do so. But he doesn't think the government is in a position to require it, and says County Manager George Recktenwald is of a like mind.
"There is absolutely no way you can enforce it," Kelley said, adding that he is also watching a legal challenge of Orange County's rule, where a business owner, Carl Jackson, is arguing the mask requirement is unconstitutional.
"People have to take personal responsibility," Kelley said.
Kevin Captain, Volusia County community information director, said Wednesday making masks mandatory is not in the plans.
"Volusia County is actively involved with the cities and municipalities in a 'mask-up' campaign," Captain said. "The county highly encourages people follow the CDC guidelines including wearing a face covering when physical distancing cannot be adequately achieved."
The "mask-up" campaign was discussed on a call with cities Wednesday and will likely involve messaging on billboards and websites, Captain said.
Part of the effort will be to reach young people who may underestimate their role in the virus' spread or be unconcerned because they have a better chance of fighting it off than older people and those with weaker immune systems.
With a boost in tourism expected for the July 4 holiday, county officials are "actively working" on the "mask-up" campaign, Captain said.
"Is there a sense of urgency? Yes," he said.
The County Council's next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, and Kelley said he expects the mask question will be discussed.
In Daytona Beach, the mayor argues slowing the spread of coronavirus through the use of face masks is critical.
"In order for this to gain traction in the community, it requires leadership from those who are elected," Henry said. "The policymakers have to make the tough decision — it is an uncomfortable position for people to be in during an election season."
He acknowledged some residents will consider a mask requirement as an invasion of their personal freedom.
And one of his opponents in the Aug. 18 mayoral primary, Sherrise Boyd, said she would not support a mask mandate.
"It opens the city up to a lawsuit," Boyd said. "There are people who are on oxygen, are claustrophobic ... there are people who cannot wear a mask."

Morrisons shoppers who refuse to wear a mask will be told to leave
The supermarket's chief executive said only those who are medically exempt will be allowed to shop without a mask
Morrisons has confirmed customers who refuse to wear a mask without a medical exemption will be told to leave stores from today.
Chief executive David Potts said: "Those who are offered a face covering and decline to wear one won't be allowed to shop at Morrisons unless they are medically exempt.
"Our store colleagues are working hard to feed you and your family, please be kind."
Chains such as Tesco and Sainsbury's said safety remains their "highest priority" and that customers were given regular reminders to follow the rules.
But Morrisons went one step further and said it would block any customer from shopping in stores if they refuse to wear a mask without medical exemption.
Boris Johnson advises people how to behave in supermarkets
Supermarket staff 'deeply concerned' as people flout in-store Covid measures
It comes as a shopworkers' union was "inundated" with complaints from its members, who say they are "deeply concerned" for their safety as some shoppers flout in-store Covid measures.
Usdaw urged supermarkets and food retailers to revert to "stringent" restrictions and said that staff – who are classed as key workers – must be "valued, respected and protected".
And vaccines minister Nadhim Zahawi voiced his concerns that members of the public were not complying with measures put in place by supermarkets, amid suggestions the restrictions may need to be toughened.
"I am worried about supermarkets and people actually wearing masks and following the one-way system and making sure when it's at capacity they wait outside the supermarket," he said.
Usdaw general secretary Paddy Lillis said: "Retail staff are working with the public every day and not only suffer increased abuse, but are deeply worried about catching Covid-19.
"Where safety measures are agreed, retailers need to make sure that they are being followed consistently, in every store.
"We are also very concerned by reports that too many customers are not following necessary safety measures like social distancing, wearing a face covering and only shopping for essential items.
"It is going to take some time to roll out the vaccine and we cannot afford to be complacent in the meantime, particularly with a new strain sweeping the nation.
"Many retail workers are at a greater risk of catching the virus and bringing it home to their families.
"Supermarket workers and delivery drivers have worked throughout the pandemic to keep the country supplied with essentials.
"These key workers must be valued, respected and protected."
A spokeswoman for Sainsbury's said: "Safety remains our highest priority.
"We continue to have a range of measures in place to keep customers and colleagues safe in our stores.
"We have greeters outside our supermarkets and busy convenience stores to limit the number of customers coming into stores and continue to remind customers to wear face coverings and shop alone if they are able to.
"We also have posters and regular Tannoy announcements."
"The safety of our customers and colleagues is our top priority and we already have extensive social distancing measures in our stores to ensure everyone can shop safely with us," the store said on Twitter.
"We are asking all our customers to wear a face covering when visiting our stores and have prominent signs in place to inform customers of the rules.
"However, there may be some customers who are unable to wear a face covering for medical or safety reasons and we have asked our colleagues to respect that and to not challenge them directly."
Data from Public Health England last week found 11 outbreaks of the disease had come from food outlets.
But England's chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty said supermarket staff would not be initially prioritised for vaccinations unless they also fell into the highest vulnerability categories.
Responding to a question from a food retail worker from Somerset on BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: "All of us in society have relied on the extraordinary work of people who have kept retail for essential goods – food and so on – going, and I think all of us should thank you and your colleagues very much for that.
"In terms of vaccination prioritisation… the initial wave is all around the people who have the highest risk of dying, it's a clinical question, largely on age.
"Obviously if someone falls into that, if they're an older person working in retail or they have a health condition, they will be included in that."
Prof Whitty added that as soon as the most vulnerable were vaccinated then ministers would decide who to prioritise next.

Tatar speaks to Kathimerini: No ground for starting talks
Turkish Cypriot leader answers questions on Kathimerini about the Cyprus issue and a number of important topics that affect relations between the two communities?
Nikos Stelgias
18 OCTOBER 2021 - 10:20
A year after he became the leader of the Turkish Cypriot community, Ersin Tatar gives a full interview to "K". Mr. Tatar considers that at the moment in the Cyprus issue there is no room for the start of talks. With this in mind, the Turkish Cypriot leader expresses his opposition to the idea of appointing the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative for the Cyprus issue.
Answering the questions of our newspaper, Mr. Tatar presents his own vision for the solution of the Cyprus problem. Reiterating his insistence on sovereign equality, Mr. Tatar focused on how the Cyprus issue could be settled on a new basis of a solution.
The Turkish Cypriot leader also talks about the issue of the EEZ and the closed Varoshi. For the first issue, Mr. Tatar hints that at this stage he would prefer a moratorium. For the closed city, it sends the message that the Turkish plan is progressing normally, despite the delays that are observed.
Neither the Greek Cypriot side, nor the EU or the international community is in a position to accept the unacceptable position of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot side for a two-state solution
T/C leader Ersin Tatar considers that there is a big problem in the whole process of Halloumi, noting that the Turkish Cypriot side was ignored in the whole process. As he says, in the case of honey and other products the supervisors were appointed directly by the EU, while in the case of halloumi the supervisors will be appointed by the Greek Cypriot side. He also responds to the notorious list of dissidents, noting that he has not received anything.
Did we reach a dead end on the issue of halloumi?
This is a big problem. Initially we approached the whole issue with good will. However, once again the Turkish people were wronged. We have asked for it many times from the EU: Please contact us (for the issue of halloumi control)! For control there is a company called "Bureau Veritas". Its supervisors will be appointed by the G/C side. People from the Greek Cypriot administration will come here to check the Turkish Cypriot halloumi. And this despite the fact that we are in no way going to become a sub-administration of the Greek Cypriot state. Politically, we have the separate TRNC. And our authorities must control the halloumi. And my side should be able to appoint supervisors. We asked for the direct appointment of supervisors from the EU. We were told "no, the Republic of Cyprus will appoint them". This caused a political problem.
From what I understand the current impasse arose despite the original agreement, right?
From what I have learned about the whole matter, in the case of honey and some other products the supervisors of the "Bureau Veritas" were appointed directly by the EU. Those supervisors visited both the south and the north. In those cases there was no problem. However, there was no such agreement for Halloumi.
"I do not have the Turkish list for the Turkish Cypriot opposition"
Concluding our interview, I would like to ask your opinion on a new issue that has arisen in your community's relations with Turkey regarding the famous list of people who are not allowed to enter Turkey.
Turkey, for its own security and for its own reasons, says to these people, "you have stated the following against Turkey and for this reason I do not allow you to enter the country." It does not arrest or judge these individuals. Turkey just does not accept them in the country. What should I do? The opposition, Tufan Erhiurman, criticizes me.
They ask you if you have started consultations with Turkey on the whole issue…
No. Everyone knows what is happening. Our Foreign Minister, who is dealing with the issue, talks with his counterpart in Ankara and the Embassy here. They told us they would not publish such a list. They are not able to know the names included in the list. Let those who write think this (texts that are directed against Turkey). And they will find out the whole situation when they go to Turkey. I personally do not have such a list at my disposal. And I did not see it.
In the list published by "Avroupa", the name of the former T/C leader also stands out…
I am not familiar. Is there really such a list or is it a product of imagination? We do not know that. If there really was such a list they would share it with me.
JV: Tatar confirms what the President says
With what he stated in the newspaper "I Kathimerini" the Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar, "essentially confirms what the President of the Republic Nikos Anastasiadis and our side are saying", said the Government Spokesman Marios Pelekanos, stressing at the same time that the Government is intensifying its efforts. "In all directions, until the conditions are created, which will lead us to the resumption of negotiations, in the context determined by the Security Council resolutions and the convergences achieved so far."
At the same time, Mr. Pelekanos stated in a written statement that Mr. Tatar also confirms "and that it is the Turkish Cypriot side that is responsible for the fact that the UN Secretary General has not yet proceeded with the appointment of a special envoy, as the New York dinner arrangement ".
"He also confirms that the attitude of the Turkish Cypriot side is an obstacle to the resumption of negotiations, stating, among other things, that if the UN Secretary General proceeds with the appointment, the Turkish Cypriot side will refuse to go to the meeting," the spokesman said.
According to Mr. Pelekanos, he also made it clear that "they do not want any involvement of the Security Council in the effort to resume the dialogue."
As the President of the Republic has repeatedly stated, the Government Spokesman added, "there is no question of accepting the unacceptable demands of the Turkish Cypriot side for recognition of sovereign rights in the illegal regime."
"Neither the Greek Cypriot side, nor the EU or the international community is in a position to accept the unacceptable position of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot side for a two-state solution," he stressed.
In addition, Mr. Pelekanos stressed that "we remain committed to our goal for a solution of a bi-zonal bi-communal federation, as provided for in the resolutions of the UN Security Council, but also in the High Level Agreements".
A solution, he continued, that would be in line with EU principles and values and would respond to the concerns of Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots.
At the same time, the Spokesman stated that "we are exhausting all available tools in order to prevent the continuation of the illegal actions of Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot side, both in the sea area of the Republic of Cyprus and on its territory, and especially in the enclosed area of Famagusta."
"Not only are we not stopping but we are stepping up our efforts in every direction, until the conditions are created that will lead us to a resumption of negotiations, within the framework set by the Security Council resolutions and the convergences achieved so far," he concluded.
Convening of an International Conference on the Cyprus issue is requested by EDEK
For its part, commenting on the interview of the Turkish Cypriot leader, Ersin Tatar, EDEK stated that the occupying leader reaffirmed the Turkish aims and objectives.
The party noted that since the other side "has unwavering provocative positions, we must claim the convening of an International Conference on the Cyprus issue with priority discussion of the international aspect of the issue."
EDEK added that "we must break free from the Turkish position that wants the Cyprus issue to be a bi-communal or energy issue."
Concluding, the party stressed that "our goal should be to promote the Cyprus issue as an international problem of invasion, continued occupation and ethnic cleansing and human rights violations through the use of our political and diplomatic weapons."

John Marshall
Jurist / U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Fauquier County, Virginia
Best Known As:
Chief Justice of the United States, 1801-35
John Marshall was the fourth Chief Justice of the United States, appointed in 1801 by President John Adams. In the 34 years that Marshall presided over the Supreme Court, the federal powers of the judicial branch were defined and strengthened, most notably in the 1803 case of Marbury v. Madison, in which Marshall asserted the power of the court to overturn legislation deemed unconstitutional. Marshall grew up in Virginia and practiced law before getting involved in Federalist politics. Adams appointed him to be an envoy to France during the XYZ Affair (1797), then tried to appoint him to the court. Marshall refused and instead served in the House of Representatives (1799) before Adams named him Secretary of State (1800) and then Chief Justice (1801). Politically, Marshall was famously at odds with his distant cousin, Thomas Jefferson, especially during the trial of Aaron Burr (1807), when the strength of the court was pitted against the strength of the executive branch. Burr, on trial for treason, was acquitted after Marshall ruled that two witnesses were needed prove the charge. Marshall's long term on the bench occurred at a time when the newly-formed nation was still taking shape, and he is considered one of the most influential jurists in U.S. history.
Marshall, who had been a captain in the Revolutionary War, authored a five-volume biography of George Washington, his commander at Valley Forge.

Discover STEM-Talk Episode 134: Mike Griffin discusses America's hypersonic arms race with Russia and China
Episode 134: Mike Griffin discusses America's hypersonic arms race with Russia and China
Update: 2022-03-28 3
Our guest today is Dr. Michael Griffin, the Pentagon's former Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. During his two and a half years as undersecretary, Mike made hypersonic weapons and defense against them his number one priority.
In today's episode, Mike talks about the history of hypersonic technology; why he made it his number one priority at the Department of Defense; and why Russia's and China's growing hypersonic capability represents a serious threat to America's national security.
Our interview with Mike was conducted on March 23, one month following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The weekend prior to our interview with Mike, Russia reported that it used a hypersonic missile to strike a Ukrainian military facility.
This is Mike's second appearance on STEM-Talk. He was our guest on episode 23 back in 2016 when we talked to him about his tenure as NASA Administrator from April of 2005 to January of 2009.
Mike holds numerous academic degrees, including a BS in physics from Johns Hopkins, five master's degrees, and a Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Maryland. In addition to serving as NASA Administrator and Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, his long career has included numerous other academic and corporate positions.
[00:04:33 ] Dawn welcomes Mike back to the podcast, mentioning that when Mike was last on STEM-Talk in 2016, he talked about space exploration and his tenure as NASA administrator. Dawn goes on to mention that since then, Mike served a two-and-a-half-year stint as the Pentagon's first research and engineering undersecretary, a position Congress created in 2018. Mike talks briefly about his perspectives on hypersonics research and development in the U.S. as well as in China and Russia.
[00:05:36 ] Ken asks Mike to give a brief definition of hypersonics, given that during his time as undersecretary, he made hypersonics his top priority.
[00:09:59 ] Ken mentions that last weekend, Russia reportedly used hypersonic weapons in Ukraine. Ken asks if Mike has any thoughts as to why the Russians are using hypersonic weapons in Ukraine as opposed to other less expensive weapons that would have sufficed from a military perspective. Ken wonders whether the use of hypersonics was primarily for strategic messaging.
[00:12:26 ] Ken asks Mike about his op-ed in Breaking Defense that he recently co-authored and was titled, "Rethinking the hypersonic debate for relevancy in the Pacific."
[00:15:17 ] Ken points out that many U.S. leaders view China as primarily a trading partner and a source of inexpensive goods rather than a power that regards the U.S. as an adversary.
[00:16:49 ] Mike describes hypersonics in more detail and explains the implications for national security.
[00:18:28 ] Dawn mentions that hypersonic technologies are often thought of as relatively new. Mike talks about how the first hypersonic systems were actually used during World War II by the Germans.
[00:19:34 ] Ken explains that the aerodynamic heating that occurs at hypersonic speeds is very intense. As a result, the propulsion technology, airframe materials and thermal management involved in hypersonics is very demanding. Ken goes on to say that in the mid-1950s, this was an issue the Air Force had to overcome during its development of the Atlas Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Ken asks Mike to discuss aerodynamic heating caused by hypersonic speeds and how it was handled with respect to the Atlas missile.
[00:23:12 ] Ken asks about the challenges NASA faced in overcoming aerodynamic heating on the Command Module for the Apollo missions during reentry, which would reach speeds up to Mach 35.
[00:23:49 ] Dawn explains that hypersonic weapon systems fall primarily into two classifications: air-breathing cruise missiles and hypersonic boost-glide systems. She asks Mike to give an overview of these two systems and asks if as a country we should invest in both.
[00:30:01 ] Ken asks Mike whether a powered cruise missile or a hypersonic boost-glide system is more challenging to develop and deploy.
[00:32:44 ] Ken explains that the United States has actively pursued the development of hypersonic weapons as a part of its conventional global strike program since the early 2000s. Ken adds that partly thanks to Mike's efforts, the Pentagon and Congress have recently shown a renewed interest in the development and deployment of hypersonic systems, possibly due to the existence of operational Russian and Chinese hypersonic systems. Ken asks Mike when he thinks the U.S. might have operational hypersonic capability and what it might be like.
[00:35:00 ] Ken asks Mike about the balance between developing hypersonic weapons and developing a new type of defense system to counter the Russian and Chinese threat.
[00:40:41 ] Ken follows up by asking if the space development agency is adequately funded and staffed for the task of developing a detection and defense system for hypersonic weapons.
[00:42:59 ] Dawn asks why the United States fell behind in hypersonic technology when in the '60s the U.S. was the leader in this field, developing the X-15 aircraft that flew at hypersonic speeds.
[00:45:12 ] Dawn mentions that the bedrock of military thinking since the start of the nuclear age has been the psychology of Mutually Assured Destruction, but that hypersonic missiles compress the time that a military will have to take defensive steps or retaliate. She asks if we are entering an era where the pressure to strike first is greater than ever.
[00:49:02 ] Dawn asks if Mike thinks Washington, Moscow and Beijing might have serious discussions about the development and deployment of hypersonic technology that will eventually lead to treaties being negotiated by the superpowers.
[00:53:05 ] Ken mentions that he recently listened to an interview with Dr. Mark Lewis, a former Air Force Chief Scientist, in which Mark and Dr. Dick Hallion remarked that the Russians and Chinese are indeed ahead of us in hypersonic technology. They pointed out China's and Russia's advantage is at least partly because they benefited substantially from the research, reports and papers that were produced by NASA and the Air Force. Ken asks if this view matches Mikes own observations.
[00:55:30 ] Ken asks if there are any other nations, aside from Russia and China, with active hypersonics development programs.
[00:56:56 ] Ken asks if Mike thinks our universities are producing the engineering brainpower we need to compete with the Chinese and Russians.
[00:59:24 ] Dawn shifts to talk about NASA's Perseverance Rover, which landed on Mars a year ago. She asks if Mike Agrees with NASA's description of the landing as a pivotal moment for the United States and space exploration.
[01:02:17 ] Ken mentions that Mike has long been an advocate for the human exploration of Mars. Ken also points out that Mike's proposed strategy is to begin by returning to the Moon, which NASA is planning to do with the upcoming Artemis mission. NASA's goal is to build a long-term human presence on the Moon. Ken asks Mike to discuss the strategy for the Artemis mission.
[01:06:12 ] Dawn asks why Mike believes that returning to the moon and human exploration of Mars should be a national priority.
[01:07:17 ] Dawn asks Mike for his thoughts about the likelihood of the U.S. working together with Russia again on space missions, given the conflict in Ukraine as well as the decision to suspend a joint European-Russian mission to Mars because of Ukraine.
[01:09:30 ] Dawn closes the interview asking about Mike's new company that he co-founded called LogiQ Inc, which provides high-end management, scientific and consulting services.

James Stevenson and "The Medusa File"
Aug Ernest Hemingway, James Stevenson, Partridge Singapore, The Medusa File, Tin TinThomas McKinley
Partridge Singapore proudly introduces James Stevenson, adventurer and author of The Medusa File. Below, James talks about his book, his inspirations and message, and his future plans as an author.
Please briefly describe your book . . .
The Medusa File is the first book in the Harvey Ashton series and sets the foundation for the continuing story. It is an action adventure novel that will appeal to both young and mature readers. The main character is Harvey Ashton, a teenager who suffers tragedy early in his life, the death of his parents, but their bodies were never found. The chance discovery of a mysterious file left by his father, leads Harvey to question the circumstances around their disappearance. He travels to Japan and becomes involved with an adventure, one that may offer answers to his past but also poses many risks.
Who is the author "behind" the book?
From an early age I was captivated by the Tin Tin series of animated stories and the diverse locations they took the reader to. This helped develop a passion in me to explore and discover the world, something I have been doing for over twenty-five years. I have lived in Asia since 1997 and in Hong Kong since 2002 with my wife and two young sons.
I incorporate my experiences from around the world into my writing, preferring to choose locations that I know first-hand. Much of my writing takes place in Asia which has a rich fabric to add texture to my stories. The next book in the series will take readers to South America, offering a window to the thriving culture and diverse landscape found there. I am writing these blog answers from the verdant countryside in Colombia. Last week, I was in the Amazon with my family, soaking up that magical landscape where the jungle constantly lives and breathes and a mighty river runs through it. My experiences here will provide rich material for my next story.
I work in education, teaching literacy to primary students at a local school in Hong Kong. Before moving to Hong Kong, I lived in Japan for three years, teaching English at a senior high school. Previous to that, I lived in Korea working as an English teacher. I am Canadian and have an honours degree from Carleton University and an education degree from the University of British Columbia.
Do you have any particular literary influences?
When I studied Twentieth Century literature at university, the author I enjoyed the most was Ernest Hemingway. I appreciate his clear and succinct style of writing, conveying deep meaning in a brief fashion. I try to emulate this by avoiding long overly descriptive passages in my writing which I find can be distracting and unnecessary for the reader.
More recently, I have enjoyed the Norwegian author Jo Nesbo and his Harry Hole series of novels. Nesbo is able to illustrate the gradual unravelling of the main character's life like a train wreck in slow motion, captivating the audience along the way. I feel it is important to add texture to the characters in my novels so my readers can understand what motivates them.
I enjoy reading the suspense novels of Robert Ludlum, who has crafted a successful formula for the modern day thriller. He incorporates shadowy organisations and corrupt figures who have secret agendas and antagonise the main characters in his stories. Readers will discover similar themes in The Medusa File.
What inspired you to write your book and how long did it take you to finish it?
I have always had a vivid imagination and often remember detailed dreams full of action and adventure. The Medusa File started in a similar fashion, with me describing and building upon the opening sequence in the story's prologue with the ninjas invading a samurai castle. My oldest son, Tomas, was captivated with the story and helped motivate me to flesh it out into a book.
The original draft of the story took about a year to develop but went through many rewrites and revisions until it was ready to share to cultivate reviews from trusted friends and family. Then I had an editor review it who offered advice to enhance and improve my book. Ultimately, it has taken about four years to publish my novel. This falls in line with my expectations as it is my first novel and afforded me the opportunity to hone my writing style and improve upon my craft. As my writing matures, I expect my next book to be ready in half the time.
What is the one message you would like to convey to your readers?
One of the themes in The Medusa File is the importance of family. The main character, Harvey, will stop at nothing to learn the fate of his parents. This is a driving force that motivates him to take risks in his quest for answers.
Are you working on a sequel?
I am actually working on two books at the moment. When The Medusa File was being reviewed by an editor, I had time to start writing a new novel. This thriller is about a mysterious and deadly virus that emerges around the world. The main character wants to protect his family as his neighbours start to become sick and must decide how far he is willing to go to survive.
The other book I am writing follows on The Medusa File, where Harvey Ashton continues to seek answers to his past. This book, the second in the series, continues with fast paced action and will provide some surprising revelations for readers. A sinister character will be introduced who poses a dire threat to Harvey and his friends.
Are there any events, marketing ideas or promotions planned for your book?
I will start to build awareness for my book locally, contacting retail bookstores in Hong Kong and cultivating reviews for my book. I will also plan for book giveaways on platforms like Amazon and Goodreads.
What was your favourite part of your publishing experience?
When I received the original proofs to evaluate, it was a delight to read my book in the format it would appear in both digital and print versions. I knew I was well on my way to becoming a published author. It is also wonderful to also see my book on Amazon, cementing my status as a published author.
What did you think of your Partridge experience?
I have found Partridge to be professional in the services they offer and helpful during the publishing journey. I would strongly endorse them for writers seeking to self-publish.
Finally, what advice would you give to aspiring authors?
Take the time necessary to review and revise your book until you are sure it is absolutely ready for publishing. Have an editor review your book and listen to the advice they give; you want to make sure that your manuscript is polished before you submit it.

So Say, "We have Believed in what was Given to Jesus and what was Given to the Prophets from their Lord"
[Remember] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed God gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to God]. He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."
[And God] will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel.
So [Mary] conceived [Jesus], and she withdrew with him to a remote place.
And [thus] Mary, the daughter of 'Imran, who guarded her chastity, so We breathed into her through Our Spirit, and she believed in the words of her Lord and His Scriptures and was of the devoutly obedient.
And [remember] Zacharias, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors."
[So We] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy and affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of God and dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.
[So indeed,] Zacharias and John and Jesus and Elijah - all were of the righteous.
And [remember] when I inspired to the disciples, "Believe in Me and in My messenger Jesus." They said, "We have believed, so bear witness that indeed we are in submission [to God]."
[So] say [likewise], "We have believed in God and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the [twelve] tribes [of Israel] and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are in submission to Him."
And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for those who fear [God].
[Whereby] if any man will take away from the words of the Book of this prophecy, God will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and [from] the things which are written in this Book."
[So] believe in what I have sent down confirming that which is [already] with you, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And do not exchange My verses for a small price, and fear [only] Me. And do not mix the truth with falsehood or conceal the truth while you know [it].
For I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this Book, "If any man will add to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this Book."
Paul Said, "I Think that I have the Spirit of God," and "Jesus was Raised from the Dead According to my Gospel"
[When] the Lord spoke to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid, but speak, and do not hold your peace. For I am with you, and no man will set on you to hurt you, for I have many people in this city." And he continued [there] a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
[On] the Day [of Judgement,] God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus, the Messiah, according to my Gospel.
[For] remember that Jesus, the Messiah, of the seed of David, was raised from the dead - according to my Gospel."
[But the Messiah said,] "I will not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. The Lord [God] has chastened me sore, but He has not given me over to death.
[For] when my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up."
[So] say, "O People of the Scripture, do not exceed limits in your religion beyond the truth and do not follow the inclinations of a people who had gone astray before and misled many and have strayed from the right way -"
Now concerning virgins, I have no commandment of the Lord, yet I give my judgement, as one who has obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful.
[But] if any man thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he should know.
[So] I wish to God you could bear with me a little in [my] folly, and indeed bear with me.
[For] that which I speak, I speak [it] not after the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confidence of boasting."
[So] who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about God or says, "It has been inspired to me," while nothing has been inspired to him, and one who says, "I will reveal like what God revealed." And if you could but see when the wrongdoers are in the overwhelming pangs of death while the angels extend their hands, [saying], "Discharge your souls! Today you will be awarded the punishment of [extreme] humiliation for what you used to say against God other than the truth and [that] you were, toward His verses, being arrogant."
Jesus beheld the city Jerusalem, saying, "The days will come upon you, that your enemies will lay you even with the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another; because you did not know the time of your visitation."
For Moses truly said to the fathers, "It will come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, will be destroyed from among the people."
For God did not spare the old world, but saved Noah, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, making them an example to those after that should live ungodly.
I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.
And so it was revealed how the city and the temple and the people of Israel should be betrayed. And it came to pass as the Lord spoke [in 70 AD, Jerusalem and the Temple were destroyed].


DENVER -- A growing number of companies that service the wine industry are now pursuing opportunities in the cannabis sector, hoping to generate new revenue streams.
"I was always aware that when recreational cannabis became legal, there would be a lot of opportunities for companies that already serve the wine industry," Christie said.
"Certainly, it's an easy segue into that industry."
He got the idea for the one-day conference during a Wine Industry Network expo in December 2016 that featured a 60-minute session, "What Impact Will Marijuana Legalization Have On Wine Sales."
"In the seven years of doing the conference, it was by far the most-packed session we ever had," Christie said.
"Every seat was taken, people were standing along the walls.
"When it was done, it was very clear that we had barely scratched the surface. That prompted us to do a full-day dive into the topic."
Wine-focused companies' growing interest in cannabis is aided by the fact the threat of federal interference has yet to materialize.
These businesses - like Clearwater Tech of San Luis Obispo, California, for example - are increasingly at ease with cannabis.
"We were a bit nervous until things became a bit more legalized and stable, and then it made sense for us to go down that path," said Marc DeBrum, sales manager at Clearwater.
Clearwater's cannabis opportunity was generated by the strict hygiene and contamination controls that state-legal medical and recreational marijuana programs require cultivators and processors to abide by.
"There're going to be more regulations that will hit this industry and that ask for organic solutions," DeBrum predicted.
"We just dipped our toe in (cannabis) last year," DeBrum said, "so for now they account for a fairly small portion of our sales.
"But I think it's going to grow rather quickly."
He noted that Clearwater is increasingly reaching out to cannabis businesses through the use of Google AdWords and the company's presence at marijuana business conferences.
"We see the parallel need between the wine and cannabis industry to elevate packaging labels to communicate the quality of the product and educate the buyer about what is unique inside," said Lloyd, who noted that Label Innovators already has a half-dozen clients.
"The need to educate a potential buyer about the differences and characteristics places a bigger need on the package to help communicate what the buyer can expect," he continued.
"Many of our cannabis clients have told us . they see the need to follow in the path of the wine and spirits industries, which makes the transition easier for us."
"Connecting with (marijuana) clients is a challenge," Lloyd said. "Some only buy with those they already know and trust because of the sensitive nature of the product and the federal regulation issue.
"Once a client knows and trusts us, though, we've found they are happy to refer us to other clients in their networks."
Conversely, Christie of the Wine Industry Network believes it's only a matter of time before companies that started as cannabis service providers will look to expand into the wine sector.
"I 100% believe that's going to happen. There are just too many similarities between the two industries," he said.
"It's not going to happen in the next year or two - these companies are just too small right now.
"But maybe in the next 10 or 20 years."

Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham had the opportunity to go pro after this season, but decided to stick around with the Tigers to improve his draft stock. That's got him on the radar for potential Heisman talk, but he'll first have to recover from some offseason surgery.
247Sports confirmed a report about Stidham getting shoulder surgery with an Auburn spokesperson. They said, "Jarrett had a minor procedure on his left shoulder. Coach (Gus) Malzahn expects him to participate in spring practice."
For Auburn, spring practices begin Feb. 27. Stidham is currently sporting a sling on his arm.
Stidham finished the season with 18 passing touchdowns, six interceptions, four rushing touchdowns and 3,158 passing yards on the season. However, a lot of that was overshadowed by his poor play in the Peach Bowl against UCF, which resulted in many "National Championship" claims in the ensuing weeks. However, the Tigers did win the SEC West with Stidham under center and beat both teams that eventually played in the real National Championship game.

Coronavirus Measures Extended in Greece as 20,107 Cases Recorded

Turkish Court Rejects New Appeal for Greek Soldiers' Release
A Turkish court has rejected for a third time the appeal launched by the defense team of the two Greek soldiers held in Edirne for their release on bail.
According to Turkish media, the judge rejected the appeal claiming that the soldiers did not have permanent residency and therefore, they can run away if they are released.
Sgt Dimitris Kouklatzis, aged 27, and Lt Angelos Mitretodis, 25, were arrested after being found in a "forbidden military zone" by Turkish authorities in early March. They have been detained in a high-security jail pending trial in the border town of Edirne ever since.
This was the third time that the court dismissed an appeal for their release.
On Sunday, Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, proposed that two Greek soldiers be exchanged for eight Turkish officers who have sought asylum in Greece.
"They asked us to give the two Greek soldiers back. And we told them there are eight soldiers who tried to make a coup. First, you have to give them to us. If you give them to us then we can put the others on the table. Because they crossed the border," Erdogan was quoted as saying.
Erdogan's proposal was dismissed by Athens as unacceptable.
Meanwhile in Strasbourg, the Council of Europe's parliamentary assembly (PACE) has called for the immediate release of the two Greek soldiers.
During the assembly's spring summit, a statement was issued calling for the two soldiers to be freed and for respect for human rights and rule of law.
The initiative was signed by a 13-strong Greek delegation and a large number of MPs from member states of the European Council across the political spectrum.

Marquette, Mich. – Following his positive annual performance evaluation by the State Board of Education today, State Superintendent Brian Whiston informed the Board that he will be taking a Long Term Disability leave in 30-60 days to attend to his health.
Whiston, appointed State Superintendent by the State Board in April 2015, was diagnosed with cancer late last year. He has been receiving medical treatments since then, while continuing to run the Michigan Department of Education. He told the State Board today that he will continue to lead the Department for the next 30-60 days, depending on his medical treatments.
"We have worked with the State Board, Governor Snyder, the legislature, and education stakeholders over the past three years to develop dynamic strategies to make Michigan a Top 10 education state in 10 years," Whiston said. "We have begun setting those strategies into motion and I believe Michigan's public schools will rise up and meet that goal.
The State Board earlier today gave Whiston a rating of Outstanding on his annual evaluation, and as is its custom, extended his contract by one year.

The basic approach to prospect review should be consistent; consideration at all times should be directed to the amount given prospects could invest over five years as a perennial gift, provided they are asked by the right person and are sufficiently interested in the capital campaign. It is the further responsibility of the organization to ensure an element of practicality or reason in the process – there must be a reason for each prospect to consider an investment of such an amount for the process to work effectively, and the volunteer must be committed to asking for that amount.

Q: i8042 error on MacBook 7,1 I am so new to ubuntu that I haven't even been able to get it to install.
I downloaded ubuntu from the main page, burned it to a disk, have it pop up with rEFIt,and get three options:

*

*Book EFI\book\boot64x.efi

*Boot EFI\boot\grubx64.efi

*Boot Legacy OS.

These lead to options to try ubuntu, install, etc.
When I click try ubuntu, it goes to a black screen with an error: i8042: No controller found.
*I've also tried to load it via USB, with the same results.

A: I would vote up the previous answer but my "reputation" isn't high enough. What worked for me, on a MacBookPro5,2 (2009 17") was simply to append "nomodeset" in front of "quiet". So the line will end with something like:
nomodeset quiet splash --
Hope this helps someone else with an ageing (but still useful!) MacBook Pro.

A: After much searching, this is what worked: when try ubuntu was highlighted, I pressed e and replaced the value: quiet splash with this: "i8042.nomux=1 i8042.reset nomodeset"

A: This is normal.
MacBooks have no i8042 controller (i.e. legacy keyboard controller).
If you are getting no keyboard function in grub, though, that is not normal.  That means the fallback of USB-HID or (U)EFI keyboard is not working.  In this case you need to add either the USB-HID or (U)EFI keyboard module for it.
If you have OS X installed with boot camp (I recommend installing a stripped copy of OS X on macs simply because it's needed for some firmware updates), you can use bootcamp instead of multiboot in order to provide proper USB Legacy emulation for keyboards to work around this problem.  This will also let you use the more reliable legacy BIOS version of GRUB.  (While EFI Grub is better than it used to be, it's still far from perfect.)

A: The error code simply means that a device that was present during the installation is no longer connected. For me this was the USB CD drive. Once reconnected it boots without an error.
Doh!

by Natalia Kirychuk, Student Public Relations Writer
The Cedarville University social work honors organization, Phi Alpha, will present "Exposed: Voices Against Child Sacrifice" on February 8 at 7 p.m. in the student center event rooms. The program is open to the public and free of charge.
Ugandan pastor and advocate Peter Sewakiryanga will speak about the atrocities happening in his home country. Sewakiryanga is the founder and executive director of the Kyampisi Childcare Ministries, a Ugandan charity with the goal to end child sacrifice and trafficking in Uganda.
"This is a great opportunity that has been given to me to further expose this unspeakable injustice that has claimed many children's lives in Uganda," said Sewakiryanga. "It's also an opportunity to share what God has been able to do in our efforts to fight this abhorrent practice."
Lindsey Silver, senior social work major from Elgin, Illinois, was inspired to create this event after a missions trip her family took to Uganda this past summer. During this trip, her family directed a children's program at Sewakiryanga's church. After hearing about Sewakiryanga's story and ministry, Silver knew she had to bring this message back to Ohio.
"While Christian social workers have ample opportunity to promote policies and practice recommendations that promote the family and sanctity of human life, they also influence policy that addresses the restraint of evil, such as child sacrifice."

"This event is incredibly important because people need to know that child sacrifice is still occuring," said Silver. "This is not a small matter and should definitely not be ignored. Students like the ones at Cedarville can change the world, and I know that there are many who could make an incredible impact in the fight to end child sacrifice. I want students, staff and other people in the area to attend this event because their voice matters, and these people can be the ones to actually make a change."
"Phi Alpha believes this is an important issue because vulnerable children are at high risk of becoming victim to this ritual practice," said Melissa Brown, assistant professor of social work. "While Christian social workers have ample opportunity to promote policies and practice recommendations that promote the family and sanctity of human life, they also influence policy that addresses the restraint of evil, such as child sacrifice."

All publishers are Columbuses. The successful author is their America. The reflection that they-like Columbus-didn't discover what they expected to discover, and didn't discover what they started out to discover, doesn't trouble them. All they remember is that they discovered America; they forget that they started out to discover some patch or corner of India.
As we go within the self, we discover that all the voices of our past lives are still there. As we peel ourselves, which is a process very much like peeling an onion, we discover that there are many selves within the self.
Photography gives you the opportunity to use your sensibility and everything you are to say something about and be part of the world around you. In this way, you might discover who you are, and with a little luck, you might discover something much larger than yourself.
I want to encourage other people to try to discover who they are, not to try to fit into some superficial prototype of what they think a Christian should be, but to discover who they really are.
If you can discover what you like, if you can discover what you truly believe about most of the major matters of life, you will be able to write a story which is honest and original and unique.
Children, like animals use all their senses to discover the world. Then artists come along and discover it the same way...Or now and then we'll hear from an artisit who's never lost it.
Welcome to prekindergarten! You will not die if you discover that there are more lines out there than just your own. In fact, you'll discover that you will have an advantage if you know more of them!
Sometimes, it is precisely when you discover that you are living very happily that you suddenly find yourself in danger. To be happy means to discover that you are exposed to being hurt.
We discover too late that we have turned a blind eye to the extinction of a species that is essential to the balance of life in a particular context. Or we discover too late that the importation of a foreign life-form, animal or vegetable, has upset local ecosystems, damaging soil or neighbouring life-forms. We discover that we have come near the end of supplies-of fossil-fuels for example -on which we have built immense structures of routine expectation.
I let them [Kanye and Pharrell] be them; they let me be me. I'm just a little boy that does poetry whose friends got famous, and I like it that way. I like to be found. I don't want to be overexposed. I love when people discover me and discover my music.
She put her cup down and sighed again with pleasure. "I can't think how the Nonconformists have failed to discover coffee." "Discover it?" "Yes. As a snare. It does far more for one than drink. And yet no one preaches about it, or signs pledges about it. Five mouthfuls and the world looks rosy.
It is in solitude that we discover that being is more important than having and that we are worth more than the results of our efforts. In solitude we discover that our life is not a possession to be defended but a gift to be shared.
Pinterest is offering consumers a way to discover things on the web, in a serendipitous way, with a beautiful user interface. So it's offering a whole new paradigm called 'discover' and allowing users to be creative.
The devil has convinced so many people that they are worthless. Each of us needs to stop and remember the cross-at the cross we will discover our true value-for it is here that we discover the price God was willing to pay for us, the depth of His love, and how much we are worth to Him.
I never know what I'm going to say as I walk up to the microphone. I try to be in the moment. I try to go deeper into myself. I discover things on stage that I don't discover off stage about me.
Many people who talk about the discovery method of teaching are really talking about arranging a lesson or an experiment so that students discover what they are supposed to discover. That is not an exploration. The whole tradition of exploration is being lost for entire generations.
She had been looking all along for a friend, and it took her a while to discover that a lover was not a comrade and could never be - for a woman. And that no one would ever be that version of herself which she sought to reach out to and touch with an ungloved hand. There was only her own mood and whim, and if that was all there was, she decided to turn the naked hand toward it, discover it and let others become as intimate with their own selves as she was.
To err is to wander, and wandering is the way we discover the world; and, lost in thought, it is also the way we discover ourselves. Being right might be gratifying, but in the end it is static, a mere statement. Being wrong is hard and humbling, and sometimes even dangerous, but in the end it is a journey, and a story.
Work is the gift of God to man for him to discover himself. It is only through work that a man can discover the hidden abilities, power, potential, talents, gifts and knowledge that are in him.
When people discover they are no good at baseball or hockey, they put away their bats and their skates and they take up amateur golf or stamp collecting or gardening. But when people discover they are no good at picking stocks, they are likely to continue to do it anyway.
Rene Char wrote somewhere, apropos poetry, that there are those who create and those who discover; they are too completely different worlds. Photograph also has two sides to it and thank goodness, I am only intersted in those who discover; I feel a certain solidarity with those who set out in a spirit of discovery; I think there is much more risk invovled in this than in trying to create images; and in the end, reality is more important.
You discover or re-discover yourself only through travel, and unplanned travel is the most exhilarating experience. I truly believe that not all those who wander are lost. But for the ones who are lost, wandering is the only way to find themselves.
It is our inward journey that leads us through time "" forward or back, seldom in a straight line, most often spiraling. Each of us is moving, changing, with respect to others. As we discover, we remember; remembering, we discover; and most intensely do we experience this when our separate journeys converge. Our living experience at those meeting points is one of the charged dramatic fields of fiction.
I don't know where she comes up with this stuff. Her mind... it's like I've come upon this secret vault that science will someday discover - or probably never discover. Which is fine by me. Kind of like when there's a band I really like but nobody knows about them. I want people I like to hear them, but when the whole world jumps on the bandwagon I get pissed. Because I found them first. Unless, of course, it's one of my bands... in which case the world is more than welcome to jump. But Heaven... I'd prefer it if nobody else jumps on her.
Of course you have passions and talents. Of course you have some purpose in the world. Your emotions are guiding you towards it. Each time you discover something that you like or something that you hate, you discover yourself. Everyone can do this. If you didn't like some things more than others, you'd be living in a sewer eating grass. More often than not, it's those things you think are too weird, too personal, or too imperfect that you must share. The world does not await your perfection. It awaits your courage and your honesty. Let yourself be seen.
The more things you experience, the more you discover what you really like. The more you discover what you really like, the more you learn what you're really like. The more you learn what you're really like, the more you know what you really want. And why. Share what you want and help make "things" happen.
The secret of adventure, then, is not to carefully seek it out but to travel in such a way that it finds you. To do this, you first need to overcome the protective habits of home and open yourself up to unpredictability. As you begin to practice this openness, you'll quickly discover adventure in the simple reality of a world that defies your expectations. More often than not, you'll discover that "adventure" is a decision after the fact-a way of deciphering an event or an experience that you can't quite explain.
When the stories of our life no longer bind us, we discover within them something greater. We discover that within the very limitations of form, of our maleness and femaleness, of our parenthood and our childhood, of gravity on the earth and the changing of the seasons, is the freedom and harmony we have sought for so long. Our individual life is an expression of the whole mystery, and in it we can rest in the center of the movement, the center of all worlds.
He began to talk about the fact that race was not only a construct but a scientific error along the magnitude of the error that the world was flat... 'And when they discover their mistake, I mean, truly discover it, it'll be as big as when they learned the world was, in fact, round. It'll open up a whole new world. And nothing will ever be the same.
If you can observe your own experience with a minimum of interference, and if you don't try to control what you experience, if you simply allow things to happen and you observe them, then you will be able to discover things about yourself that you did not know before. You can discover little pieces of the inner structures of your mind, the very things that make you who you are.
America should do a reverse Columbus. The world no longer needs to discover America; but America urgently needs to discover the world's view of America.
I have found, in short, from reading my own writing, that my subject in fiction is the action of grace in territory largely held by the devil. I have also found that what I write is read by an audience which puts little stock either in grace or the devil. You discover your audience at the same time and in the same way that you discover your subject, but it is an added blow.
But there is another way. And that is to organize mass non-violent resistance based on the principle of love. It seems to me that this is the only way as our eyes look to the future. As we look out across the years and across the generations, let us develop and move right here. We must discover the power of love, the power, the redemptive power of love. And when we discover that we will be able to make of this old world a new world. We will be able to make men better. Love is the only way.
Each day is an adventure in discovering the meaning of life. It is each little thing that you do that day - whether it be spending time with your friends, running in a cross-country meet or just simply staring at the crashing ocean- that holds the key to discovering the meaning of life. I would rather be out enjoying these things than pondering them. We may never really discover the meaning of life, but the knowledge we gain in our quest to discover it is truly more valuable.
I started to discover the meaning of happiness when I started to discover-and practice-the art of acceptance. When I started to accept life for what it was and I started to accept whatever situation I was in as the way things were, I started to see that my happiness depended on my own attitude. When I started focusing on getting the most out of my life the way it was rather than trying to turn it into what I thought it should be, I started to realize that I was, indeed, becoming a much happier person.
Who will find peace with the lands? The future of humankind lies waiting for those who will come to understand their lives and take up their responsibilities to all living things. Who will listen to the trees, the animals and birds, the voices of the places of the land? As the long forgotten peoples of the respective continents rise and begin to reclaim their ancient heritage, they will discover the meaning of the lands of their ancestors. That is when the invaders of the North American continent will finally discover that for this land, God is red.
Friendship arises out of mere Companionship when two or more of the companions discover that they have in common some insight or interest or even taste which the others do not share and which, till that moment, each believed to be his own unique treasure (or burden). The typical expression of opening Friendship would be something like, "What? You too? I thought I was the only one."... It is when two such persons discover one another, when, whether with immense difficulties and semi-articulate fumblings or with what would seem to us amazing and elliptical speed, they share their vision - it is then that Friendship is born. And instantly they stand together in an immense solitude.
Introverts spend a lot of time pondering the big questions. Our love of ideas often inspires us to pursue noble work. But, as we soon find, these jobs don't pay us for sitting in a soft chair and thinking big thoughts. Once on the job, we discover - to our horror - that we are expected to carry out the big ideas, and that usually means talking to PEOPLE. Usually, by the time we discover this, we are up to our ears in debt - not just for the student loans, but also to our own ideals.
You tell me that you sometimes view the dark side of your Diana, and there no doubt you discover many Spots which I rather wish were erased, than conceal'd from you. Do not judge by this, that your opinion is an indifferent thing to me, (were it so, I should look forward with a heavey Heart, ) but it is far otherways, for I had rather stand fair there, and be thought well of by Lysander than by the greater part of the World besides. I would fain hope that those faults which you discover, proceed more, from a wrong Head, than a bad Heart. E'er long May I be connected with a Friend from whose Example I may form a more faultless conduct, and whose benevolent mind will lead him to pardon, what he cannot amend.
In this conversation we discover another possibility: living in a way, now, moment to moment, that makes a difference to life. We discover that as human beings we can live in a possibility instead of in what we have inherited, that instead of just being a human being because we were born that way, we can declare the possibility of being for human beings. This is the work of transformation: bringing forth a breakthrough in the possibility of being human.
I don't think we'll discover anything, myself. I think what will happen is we'll discover people who will tell us where to go find it. It is not like a treasure hunt where you just runaround looking everywhere hoping you find something. I just don't think that's going to happen. The inspectors didn't find anything, and I doubt that we will. What we will do is find the people who will tell us.

Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Finding the Right Care for You
Should You Join a Clinical Trial for Metastatic Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer?
Experimental trials can get you access to the latest treatments, often at no cost. Here's what to consider before joining a clinical trial.

Managing Metastatic NSCLC: How These Palliative Care Tips Can Help
Sign Up for Our Cancer Care and Prevention Newsletter
If you've been diagnosed with metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), you might find that you have the opportunity to join a clinical trial, which doctors and researchers use to evaluate potential new treatments.
Participants in clinical trials volunteer to test new drugs or devices to help researchers determine whether they are safe and effective and if they work better than current treatments. Every drug now approved by the FDA was once tested in a clinical trial.
Deciding whether to participate in a clinical trial can be difficult. There are pros and cons, and it can be tough to evaluate them, even with help from a doctor.
Here's what you should consider before enrolling in a clinical trial for metastatic NSCLC.
Concerns About Volunteering for Clinical Trials
"Clinical trials are so important," says Roy Herbst, MD, PhD, the chief of medical oncology at Yale Cancer Center in New Haven, Connecticut. Yale now has about 1,000 patients in clinical trials, up from 200 eight years ago, he says.
While some people with metastatic NSCLC might leap at the opportunity to join a clinical trial, hoping for more from experimental treatments than conventional therapies, others may worry about experimenting with something as important as their cancer care.
In fact, fewer than 5 percent of adults with cancer enroll in clinical trials, according to a paper published in May 2016 in the American Society of Clinical Oncology Educational Book.
Certain misconceptions may prevent people from participating in a clinical trial. For instance, you may worry that you'll be in a control group that gets a placebo instead of treatment. But that is rarely the case. Most cancer clinical trials don't use placebos unless they are given along with standard treatment, according to the American Cancer Society (ACS). Typically, one group of participants will be given an experimental treatment that doctors want to evaluate, and the other will be given standard treatment.
Only in rare cases do patients get a placebo alone, says the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), the professional organization for oncologists. Placebos should be used in cancer clinical trials only when scientifically necessary and ethically appropriate, and when patients have been clearly informed that they will receive a placebo, according to ASCO. Further, researchers should ensure patients receive outstanding supportive care during their participation in a placebo-controlled study.

The Potential Benefits of Joining a Clinical Trial
People who decide to enroll in clinical trials for metastatic NSCLC may do so for a number of reasons.
Participants in clinical trials often get early access to medications that are not yet available to the public. These medications may work better than current treatment options. Many have already been shown to be safe in trials with small numbers of patients, known as phase 1 trials, in which everyone gets the new treatment. Some treatments are ready for expanded testing to determine their effectiveness in phase 2 or phase 3 studies.
"Our mission is to try to advance the current standard of care, so we do a lot of clinical trials here," says Vincent Lam, MD, an assistant professor of thoracic/head and neck medical oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.
In some cases, he might advise patients to join a clinical trial because their current treatment is not working. "People are not treated like guinea pigs," says Dr. Lam. "There is very strict oversight and regulation."
In many cases, some of the costs of medication are covered either by insurance or the research program, according to ASCO.
Other reasons to consider joining a clinical trial:
You may feel that you're playing a more active role in your healthcare and have more control over your situation.
You may receive more careful attention and more frequent checkups with your cancer care team.
Your participation may add to medical knowledge about NSCLC and could lead to new medications that will help improve cancer care in the future.
The Potential Risks of Clinical Trials
As with any treatment, clinical trials also come with risks. The new treatment might have unknown side effects, especially in early trials when less is known about the treatment. It simply might not work for you, even if it helps others. And you might be required to submit to more tests and doctor visits.
To help you decide if the benefits of participating in a clinical trial outweigh the risks, you should ask for as much information about the study as possible. People with cancer who feel well-informed before they take part in a clinical trial have less regret after the study than those who feel unsure, according to the ACS. That's why it's important to take your time and ask questions until you feel comfortable with your decision.
Here are some questions you should ask your doctor before enrolling in a trial:
Why is this study being done?
Do I have other options, such as other studies?
What are the potential risks, benefits, and side effects?
How will we know if the treatment is working?
Will I be seeing my regular cancer doctor?
What are the costs, and how long will the study last?
What happens if I decide to withdraw before the study ends?
You might want to involve friends and family in your decision. Getting a second opinion from a doctor not connected with the trial might also help you decide.
How to Find Clinical Trials for Metastatic NSCLC
If you're interested in participating in a clinical trial for metastatic NSCLC, talk to your doctor about finding one that's right for you. You can also search for clinical trials in online databases, such as:
