Halloween is upon us, and maybe you're looking for something a little scary to help get into the mood? Well, Boston composer Maria Finkelmeier has just the trick: some new, creepy music she conjured to honor a celebrated but relatively little-known 19th-century ghost story master.
Finkelmeier recalls what raced through her mind two years ago when she first heard about Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904).
“Who is that person?” she wondered. “That's a really cool name.”
Lafcadio Hearn's great, great grand niece, Jean Laurenz — who's also a musician — told Finkelmeier all about him. “Lafcadio is this really wild character who was a nomad born in Greece, traversed through England, New York City, Cincinnati, Ohio — which is where I'm from — and New Orleans,” Finkelmeier explained, “then made his way to Japan. And he's most well-known for bringing Japanese ghost stories into the English language.”
Laurenz had contacted the composer to ask if she'd collaborate on a multimedia music and film project inspired by Hearn's scary tales and deep thinking on Buddhism, the supernatural and spirituality. Of course she said yes.
To prepare, Finkelmeier dove headlong into Hearn's life. She was taken by his troubled and tragic childhood. Hearn was blind in one eye, and after his mother died an aunt abused him.
“He was locked in a closet,” Finkelmeier said. “Kind of Harry Potter-esque is what I always thought of when I was reading about his life.”
Before Hearn turned to channeling folk ghost stories in Japan, he was a journalist in the United States who wanted to shed light on the darker side of real 19th-century people's lives.
“There's this juxtaposition of this hauntedness and this beauty in how he talks about these underrepresented parts of society,” Finkelmeier mused, “and the kind of meditation he put on that I think is really fascinating.
She and Laurenz set out to emote Hearn's unique lens through music.
“Yes, it's creepy — and yes, it's troubled,” Finkelmeier said, “but it's also beautiful.”
Now Hearn's words and ideas flow through a new sonic journey called “Descended.”
One tune, titled “The Shadow Shaper,” provides a thematic center for the album. It opens with a spine-chilling recitation delivered by Buzz Kemper.
“It is not made of air at all, but of ghost...”
Kemper's intonations mingle with Finkelmeier's ethereal music. She's contemporary classically trained, “so that means I'm really into putting a lot of different rhythms and instruments together,” she said, and often uses electronics and improvisation.
“There are some tracks that are very kind of chamber music-esque. There are some tracks that are really inspired by dance music,” Finkelmeier added, “and I'm thinking of Lafcadio putting all this energy out into the world and trying to understand it.”
“I was really drawn to the fact that he finds the beauty inside the fear experience,” Laurenz explained.
As a trumpet player, vocalist, scholar and explorer, she feels a kinship with her long-gone relative. Laurenz is a music professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an interdisciplinary artist. To spark her collaborator's creativity, she sent Hearn's journal entries to Finkelmeier, along with books by and about him. This line, from one of his many essays, grabbed them both:
“Is there ghostliness orbed in ghostliness, life within life without end?”
“And that just sat with me,” Finkelmeier said, “and I imagined these spheres and these physical orbs.”
For “Orbs of Ghostliness,” she summoned round musical shapes using her primary instrument, the marimba. But rather than hitting one of its wooden bars with a mallet, she played it like a cello with a bow. Finkelmeier also tried wrapping the stick with tin foil.
“It gives this really scratchy sound,” she said, “which reminds me of goose bumps on your arm.”
To heighten the creep factor, Finkelmeier added a simple melody by blowing into her small, keyboard-like melodica and Laurenz joined on trumpet, which in “Orbs of Ghostliness” sounds something like a wail.
For her, the new album explores the merging of two spheres, “our real physical lives in this time and space, and then our supernatural spiritual selves,” Laurenz said. “And to me, 'Orbs of Ghostliness' is swirling around those two ideas, kind of playing with the membrane that separates them or brings them together.”
Laurenz also connects with the way her great, great grand uncle portrayed ghosts sympathetically in his stories. She calls them “haunters.”
“Usually the haunter is a woman who has unfinished something from her life, and she's coming back,” Laurenz said. “And I just love that notion, and also knowing that the women in Lafcadio's life were such strong and important figures.”
“His wife in Japan is the one we really should be thanking for these Japanese ghost stories,” Finnkelmeier added. “Setsuko Koizumi taught him these stories and then he translated them to English."
On "Descended" the collaborators brought the Japanese tale "Mujina's Arrival" to life. As the story goes, Mujina is a woman who's crying in the woods by the bank of a river.
“She's clearly in despair,” Laurenz said, “and a man approaches her.”
”And you kind of hear that lament. You hear that sadness,” Finkelmeier continued.
The man pleads with Mujina to tell him what's wrong — but the woman won't look at him.
Laurenz vocalizes both characters in the song, “And you feel the energy increase and increase and increase until we do have an actual jump scare scream,” Finkelmeier said, “And that is the moment the faceless woman appears.”
The effect is unnerving. And thrilling.
“I hope your back tingles a bit,” Finkelmeier said, “and then you hear Jean go absolutely bananas,” with her voice and playing her trumpet. For their parts, musician Greg Juke and the composer laid down funky drums, synthesizer and marimba. Finkelmeier said they wanted to replicate the panic of trying to run away — like in a dream or scary movie — but you keep tripping.
There's also an eerie lullaby called “Moon Song” that taps into our childhood fears. On it Finkelmeier played a toy piano to call up Hearn's early years and the presence of children in many of his ghost stories. In post-production, she layered in a bed of sinister whispers and effects she made with sandpaper, water droplets and stones.
“We are ingrained with creepiness at an early age,” Finkelmeier mused. “ Like, what is scary? How do we learn fear?”
And while the album might scare some away, it has attracted the attention of awards committees. "Descended" was submitted for a few Grammy Award categories including Best Engineered Classical Album and Best Contemporary Composition.
Laurenz and Finkelmeier hope people who dare to listen to their conjurings on “Descended” will walk away with a mixture of terror and excitement that inspires them to learn more about Lafcadio Hearn. And — since it's Halloween — they also suggest adding “Descended” to your weekend soundtrack.

It’s one thing to have a great story to tell; getting it out of your head and onto the page is another thing entirely. Over my time as an editor and a teacher of composition, a few resources have stood out as especially helpful:
Of course, the best way to improve your writing and find your style as a writer is to read. Extensively.
What you read depends on who you are and the kind of writer you want to be.
Inspirational examples of genre writing you’d like to emulate are great, but reading lots of different voices and styles over multiple genres and time periods is even better. So, if you want to develop an ironic tone for your own writing, read Jane Austen (for example), even if the story you’re brewing is a futuristic political thriller or a space western.
If you’re writing historical fiction, read some historical fiction, sure. But remember that modern novels set in the past are interpretations of the past, just like yours will be. Throw some actual literature written during the period you’d like to write in there too – it’s out there, for every period since writing began. And (bonus) it can provide rich inspiration and texture for any type of writing or creative endeavour.
Whatever you read, you’ll find that the characteristics of writing you really respond to will bleed into your own writing, informing and developing your own unique style.

Fingerstyle and blues go together like peanut butter and jelly. Sure, nothing wrong with a peanut butter sandwich on its own, but spread a little jelly into the mix and things start to take on a whole new dimension. Spread a little fingerstyle into your blues repertoire and ears start turning your way, plus it’s a blast to play. If you’re already into fingerstyle blues, feel free to skip the following propaganda, click it and add these 10 solid fingerstyle blues grooves to your playlist. The 10 performance studies cover a variety of feels, tempos, keys and all are designed to give you plenty of room and flexibility to tweak, stretch and overall make them your own.
If you just dabble in fingerstyle, or are now ready to finally give it a go, David Hamburger’s Essentials: Fingerstyle Blues is the ideal fretboard sandbox to dive into and get your fingerstyle blues bag sparked up. Intermediate flat-pick players will find the tunes to be very accessible, especially with David’s move-by-move guidance.
“In Essentials: Fingerstyle Blues, we’re going to explore ten different blues tunes in a variety of keys, tempos and grooves. Using both the steady bass and alternating thumb approach, we’ll check out essential articulations including hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides and quarter tone bends. We’ll learn about rhythmic anticipations and how they’re used to create syncopations on the blues. Using 12-bar, 24-bar and AABA forms in both standard and dropped-D tuning, we’ll work with pickup phrases, jump blues chord voicings and jazz chord substitutions. Finally, we’ll look at how to make bright keys like C and G sound funkier using minor pentatonic scales, and why call-and-response phrasing is key to improving your overall musicality.”
David cuts right to the chase in the edition of Essentials: Fingerstyle Blues. No boring exercises or tedious theory to struggle through – you will play your way through 10 Performance Studies, which include a performance demonstration and detailed move-by-move breakdown supplemented with tab, notation and Guitar Pro files.

National park posters are a unique and captivating art form that has captured the hearts of nature enthusiasts and art lovers alike. While the original artists behind the WPA national park posters of the 1930s and 40s laid the foundation for this iconic style, contemporary artists like Rob Decker are keeping the tradition alive, creating stunning WPA-style posters for today's generation.
The Original WPA National Park Posters: A Brief History
The Works Progress Administration (WPA) was a New Deal program created during the Great Depression to provide jobs for millions of unemployed Americans. As part of this program, the WPA's Federal Art Project employed artists to create national park prints and other public art projects.
- The WPA national park posters were designed between the 1930s and 40s
- Created to promote America's national parks and foster a sense of national pride

People living in coastal towns are more likely to be poorly educated, unemployed, claim benefits and living in multiple occupation housing. Many towns on the coast are clearly struggling, but for those that have managed to turn it around, what is the secret, asks TOM DAVIS
The traditional seaside town brings back fond memories of fish and chips, sticks of rock and long car journeys for most Britons. This nostalgia is perhaps one of the biggest selling points for many coastal destinations, but numerous factors have led to the decline in the traditional seaside town from its post-Second World War heyday. This has left many coastal towns in disrepair and their respective communities poorer than other areas of the country.
According to the 2015 Index of Multiple Deprivation, from the Department for Communities and Local Governments, a staggering nine out of the 10 most deprived neighbourhoods in the UK are communities located on the seaside. It is statistically more likely for those living on the coast to be poorly educated, unemployed, admitting to lacking in ambition, claiming benefits and living in multiple occupation housing.
A recently released report from the British Hospitality Association (BHA) – Creating Coastal Powerhouses – has produced a seven-point action plan in a bid to help Britain’s “forgotten” seaside towns fight their way out of what the association calls “decades of decay”. But what exactly is the problem and how have some towns reversed their suffering fortunes?
Of course there is no broad-brush diagnosis that can explain what leads to coastal decline – no one cause that can be held responsible for the myriad symptoms. But numerous changes within the hospitality industry, the global tourism market, macro economics and social factors have led some coastal towns becoming old and tired. According to the report, the collapse of the shipbuilding and fishing industries, growing drug abuse, and cutbacks in budgets affecting the maintenance of public places, street cleaning, tourism promotion and the providing of education have all contributed to their plight.
Seaside towns have also been hit by the decline in the traditional annual holiday to British coastal destinations, an important part of working-class life in the late 1940s, 50s and 60s. Cheap flights abroad have become mainstream and are frequently cheaper than the cost of a domestic cross-country train ticket, or filling the tank to get to the coast. This, mixed with various holiday resorts, hotels and hostels that offer accommodation at a significantly cheaper rate, means that UK holiday-goers can no longer find the savings that ones characterised a summer trip to the British coast.
Exacerbating the problem is the UK’s current tourism VAT rate, which currently stands at 20% – substantially higher than that levied on hospitality firms on the continent. Consequently, accommodation in the UK is significantly more expensive than its European counterparts – some 25 out of 27 EU countries have already reduced their tourism VAT rate, with many below 10%. The BHA is currently campaigning for the UK’s rate to be lowered to 5%, which in the long term would allow hoteliers on the coast not only to attract more visitors with cheaper rates, but to also pump that some of the resultant profit-swell back into their properties and enter a virtuous cycle of improved offering and greater visitor interest.
It is not just tangible problems either: the seaside holiday has lacked anything resembling a unified approach to marketing. A separate survey conducted by Bourne Leisure – the owner of Butlins – found that more than half of the British public have not visited the British seaside in the past three years, with 65% believing that the seaside is run down and in need of investment.
Evidently, a lot of investment in the infrastructure of these seaside towns is needed to drag them away from the tired styles of yesteryear and into something more marketable.
There are towns which have been successful, and which show a revival is possible, even without the lifeline of cash assistance from central government. “I think many coastal towns suffer from enormous legacy problems, says Patricia Yates, director of strategy and communications at VisitBritain and VisitEngland, “with the sort of accommodation and buildings that they have, that are structurally built for another era and they need a lot of money to keep up to spec.
“However, places have shown that there is a way of turning that offer around and making it work in today’s market.”
One location that has enjoyed a particularly successful regeneration is the borough of Scarborough, now surprisingly, the second-most visited destination in the UK for overnight holiday trips – only London boasts higher figures. Projects in Scarborough have included the regeneration and installation of a marina in its harbour, improved conference facilities and renovation programmes for tired museums.
While the focus of the town is still very much on tourism, Scarborough has made a conscious effort to engage with its other businesses so that they recognise how important they are for the future of the town. With government funds drying up in the belt-tightened era, the town made the decision to use its strong connections with the private sector to encourage further investment into the town.
Nick Taylor, investment manager at Scarborough Borough Council, says: “Tourism is responsible for about 50% of the GDP of the town. We have spread that responsibility and engaged with our other businesses, as well as the tourism industry.” New attractions opening in the town include a unique £14m water park, a multiplex cinema and a leisure village with a swimming pool and sports facilities. The borough has seen a 2% increase in overnight visitors in 2014 to 2015 compared with 2013 to 2014, with a 5% increase in overseas visitors. It is expected to rise even further this year.
Margate is another success story. A similar cash-ploughing programme for attractions has seen the total number of visitors to the district rise to almost 3.36 million, with the value of tourism for the local economy now standing at £286m – an increase of £15m in just two years.
Key drivers are Turner Contemporary art gallery, which opened in 2011 and welcomed its two-millionth visitor in June this year, and Dreamland, an amusement park that opened in June 2015. Director of community services for Thanet District Council, Rob Kenyon, says: “Cultural-led regeneration is really leading the way. The town has a palpable creative energy which has already helped to realise multi-million pound public and private investment.”
Kassem Shakarchi, director at Crescent Hotels, which owns the Victoria hotel in Margate, says seaside hotels suffer more acutely than most from seasonal demand, and that the additional attractions in Margate have gone some way to modulating demand across the year. He says since the regeneration, and despite the business still needing to be competitive on room rates, there has been an improvement in occupancy at his property. However, he makes a point of throwing his weight behind the campaign to reduce tourism VAT, and adds that a reduction in rail fares wouldn’t hurt either.
Investment hasn’t just improved the tourism offer in the area. A report by Zoopla has named Margate as the “top hotspot” for property prices among Britain’s seaside towns. The average property now sits at £202,276 (an increase of 12.5% since July 2015). Zoopla recognised the “large amount” of regeneration the town has engaged in, alongside the new attractions, as the principal reason for the property price hike.
The UK has a not insignificant handful of other examples of success through planned regeneration, and weight of evidence is the blunt instrument with which the infamously slow offices of government may finally be bludgeoned into paying attention.
While local strategies have had success in some locations there are many areas across the country that are struggling to adopt a successful approach to improving their locales and pulling in more tourists. Vernon Hunte, government affairs director at the BHA, says there are examples of failure. “There are some fantastic examples where regeneration has worked well on the coast, but there are many more examples where places aren’t doing so well. What you see, on a local level, is that some groups and associations have really got together a strong narrative and a consensus about where they want to be in five or 10 years time.”
The government has various investment schemes across its divisions, but the BHA argues that the DCLG is the only real division committed to coastal towns. This is where its recently mooted proposal for the appointment of a ‘seaside tsar’ comes into play. It is hoped that a tsar working across coastal towns would be able to coordinate a coherent response across all departments and spending – giving local authorities a coordinated strategy to improve not only their tourism offering but also the infrastructure and opportunities for local communities.
The Department for Communities and Local Government has three dedicated funds for seaside areas across the Great British coast:
- The Coastal Communities Fund – Will have invested over £210m coastal projects to create jobs
- The Coastal Revival Fund – Given 92 local heritage landmarks up to £50,000 each to spruce up attractions such as lidos and lighthouses
Coastal Community Teams – 118 teams across the country given £10,000 each to come up with economic plans for their local area. A round for a further 20 teams has been opened
“Doing it on a local level without the support from central government is really quite a challenge, and full credit to the places that have done it successfully,” Hunte adds. “I hope a seaside tsar will not only be able to secure the recognition for seaside towns at the highest level of government, but also provide a template strategy where the simples issues from public transport and national decisions such as tourism VAT can be brought together.”
Scarborough Borough Council echoes his sentiment. “Anything that’s going to boost further the coastal product to UK and overseas visitors will be great,” says Janet Deacon, tourism manager at the borough’s council and area director of North Yorkshire at Welcome to Yorkshire. “We welcome any support from the government to help drive that forward.”
With successful regeneration projects taking place over the last 10 years or so, proponents of the seaside know it is important not to blinded by the negative outlook provoked by reduced government funding in recent years. While figures released by the National Trust in summer last year suggested that the number of people visiting the UK’s coastline had fallen 20% in the preceding decade, statistics from VisitEngland found overnight visits to seaside locations in England grew 7% in 2015. The association also found that 31% of all domestic overnight holiday trips – 13.73 million – are to the seaside. Andrew Percy, coastal communities minister, states: “Our Great British coast has enormous economic potential and we are determined to see it thrive all year round. We have seaside gems that are a match for anywhere in the world.”
Examples of success show that, when packaged well and properly and cleverly invested in, the British coastal holiday still holds substantial appeal. Regeneration projects are not only encouraging more Britons to take staycations, but are also improving the lives of the people living within those communities.
Treating the seaside as a business proposition – whether by appointing a tsar or some other structured approach – is the kind of creative approach to government that seasides are crying out for. That it would also bring structure to spending in a way that would improve all aspects of a seaside town, from tourism to education, is something sensible members of parliament will be giving serious consideration. Taylor adds: “Seaside towns in the UK are in a very exciting position at the moment where there is a good deal of business out there. They just need to be confident and raise the quality of the product.”

Shanghai car parks ... a space odysseyDrivers can spend an hour hunting for somewhere to leave their vehicles, with 367,000 more spots neededDaniel Ren03 March 2012Shanghai held a public consultation last month on a draft plan to relieve its chronic shortage of car parking spaces. But even if it is implemented, the plan is unlikely to be of much help.The city government is considering ways to better use car parks in residential compounds after people drive their cars to work.The draft suggests residential compounds should open up and lease their parking spaces to nearby office workers during the day - but the idea has not gone down well with residents.Another suggestion would see vacant land turned into temporary, open-air car parks, but that has sparked concerns about how long such temporary car parks might last.And anyway, Zhou Huai, deputy director of Shanghai’s Transport and Port Administration Bureau, admitted during the consultation hearing that parking spaces would remain in short supply no matter what the authorities tried.A slew of new data easily explains why. A survey by the city’s traffic authorities showed Shanghai needs at least 367,000 extra parking spaces in the city centre, a 47 per cent rise.Take the city’s Minhang district as an example. The suburban area has 259,000 registered vehicles, eight times the number of parking spaces.Shanghai’s Statistics Bureau says there were 17 vehicles for every 100 households at the end of 2010, beating Hong Kong’s 7.5, Tokyo’s eight and Singapore’s four.The city introduced an auction system about two decades ago in an attempt to limit the growth in car numbers. Every year, it auctions about 100,000 vehicle licence plates, with the average price now 53,000 yuan (HK$65,200).But the car plate policy seems to have done little to cool the Shanghainese love affair with cars.If the new vehicles bought by Shanghainese in a single year were lined up end-to-end, they would stretch for 400 kilometres, more than the distance from Shanghai to Nanjing , the capital of Jiangsu province.The city’s car industry took off in the early 2000s when well-to-do Shanghai residents began to buy cars for household use. Officials would cheer every rise in sales as a buoyant car market was seen as a boost to the local economy.Global giants General Motors and Volkswagen were among the top beneficiaries of the buying euphoria. But Shanghainese now have to live with two by-products of this spree - traffic jams and a lack of parking spaces.It is not unusual for a local motorist to spend an extra hour driving around to find a parking space in the city centre. Illegal parking on the streets leads to a fine of 200 yuan, almost equal an average worker’s daily salary, and car parks in the city centre charge between 10 yuan and 30 yuan an hour.In some cases, the tensions sparked by the lack of car parking spaces have resulted in fatalities.On September 15, a woman who collected fees at a car park in the Xuhui district was crushed to death by a car after she demanded 15 yuan in parking fees from its driver. He refused to stop and ran her over.A year earlier, four people died in a brawl over parking fees at a neighbourhood in the Yangpu district, with drivers who refused to pay parking fees battling with car park staff.It seems that Shanghai drivers will just have to get used to expensive car park fees and the interminable hunt for an inner-city parking space.

Yes, we admit that resort collections are relevant the world over — everyone likes a good vacay. But when designers release early summer looks, with beach-y, bright colors and leisure life inspiration, the fun, printed pieces feel just so inherently Miami. Maybe because Palm Beach and The Magic City always serve as an inspiration for urban paradise — be it traditional Lilly Pulitzer or cutting-edge Chris Benz — resort '13 is our season.
So now that designers are considering resortwear as fun alternatives for those who want warm weather luxury in their day-to-day (instead of the collections belonging to the elite few who can afford a yearly trip — and its matching wardrobe — to the Maldives), the offerings are more Miami-ready than ever. Pop-inspired colors and Art Deco inspirations meet wearable, smart tailoring, short suits and cropped jackets made for Ocean Drive, and bold shift dresses aren't just for the gilded class but a lady-on-the-go. In other words, resortwear is less about lounging on la playa and more about energy, color, and spunk (sound familiar, MIA?).
So peep the pieces that're not only inspired by our city but are now inspiring our wardrobe (see how that works?)...because today's resortwear isn't just for the chosen few.

Author Lisa Heidke has just released her fifth book, It Started With A Kiss, published by Allen and Unwin. She is running library talks across Sydney and the South Coast all this month and will also be facilitating a workshop at the Sydney Writers Centre on Popular Women’s Fiction. We were lucky to nab sometime with her during her busy schedule.
(ES) Tell us a bit about your protagonist Friday Jones in It Started With A Kiss. And can I just add, what an awesome name.
(LH) I like her name too! Friday is a married naturopath with two teenage daughters, living on Sydney’s Northern beaches. Her seemingly idyllic life is thrown into disarray when her husband, Liam walks out ‘to find himself’. Her self esteem at an all time low, Friday spirals further when a handsome goat farmer pays her attention and she has an ill fated fling with him. That’s when Friday’s best friend, Rosie, steps in and signs Friday up to an internet dating site, KissMeCupid.com – unbeknownst to Friday. The major part of the novel is set on the Northern Beaches, with trips to the inner west, Kings Cross and Kiama.
(ES) The book goes into the world of online dating which is interesting because there will be readers who are well-versed in the online dating world and those who have never been on it before. Did you have that in mind?
(LH) I guess I did have it in mind because while Rosie is an old hand at internet dating, Friday has never had anything to do with it. Therefore readers discover the pros and cons of internet dating at the same time as Friday does, when she emails them and meets up for coffee, dinner and so on.
(ES) What was the most surprising thing you learnt about online dating during your research?
(LH) That there are quite a few people who lie! They lie about their appearance, height, weight, profession, interests, etc. I find it amazing that people can post photos of themselves looking ten years younger with a full head of hair – and not be concerned that when they actually meet their dream date in real life, their appearance is nothing like what was promised in the photo.
(ES) Your known for your humour, does It Started With A Kiss have its funny parts?
(LH) I hope so! I would say there’s a fair amount of situational humour, from the disastrous internet hook-ups to the divorce party shenanigans which Friday is dragged into. There’s the everyday humour that comes from living with two teenage girls who have their own set of dramas and angst. Never a dull moment.
(ES) Female friendships also play a big role in your writing. How does writing about friendship compare with writing about love interests?
(LH) I really enjoy writing about both types of relationships. I loved writing about Friday’s friendship with Rosie. They both have frustrations and aspects of their personality that niggle the other and I enjoyed showing that. I also really enjoyed creating the relationship between Friday and Olivia and Evie, as well as developing the sisterly bond and rivalry that Olivia and Evie have. As far as love interests go, there was a fair bit of that in the book, too, so I feel there was a good balance between the two.
(ES) On top of being so prolific with your writing you also facilitate writing workshops and run library talks all across Sydney. Does the more “social” aspect of your career help the writing?
(LH) To be honest I would rather be at my computer, writing. I enjoy talking at libraries and doing the workshops but I get terrible stage fright and become quite anxious. After the first ten minutes, I am usually fine but the nervousness stays. As far as the ‘social’ aspect helping with my writing, any social interaction is an opportunity for me to create new characters, take in a setting, listen to voices and play around with scenarios in my head – which is sometimes why, when I’m talking to someone, I’ll stop mid-sentence and start chatting with the imaginary characters in my head, instead.
(ES) What do you hope readers take away from It Started With A Kiss?
(LH) Friday is on a journey of personal awakening and discovery. At the beginning of the novel, she is completely lost and somewhat naive. I hope that by the story’s end, Friday has matured and grown as a person. I write hopeful endings, so for me, I hope readers will join Friday on her rocky road re internet dating mishaps, troubles with her teenagers and dramas with her ex-husband, and see that even though the future won’t be perfect – because no one’s is – we can’t predict what lies ahead, it is at least optimistic.

In an effort to raise awareness — and a middle finger — to the growing number of book bans in Florida libraries and school districts, P!nk will give away 2,000 copies of banned books during her stadium tour stops in the Sunshine State.
“Books have held a special joy for me from the time I was a child, and that’s why I am unwilling to stand by and watch while books are banned by schools,” P!nk said in a statement Monday. “It’s especially hateful to see authorities take aim at books about race and racism and against LGBTQ authors and those of color.
“We have made so many strides toward equality in this country and no one should want to see this progress reversed,” she continued. “This is why I am supporting PEN America in its work and why I agree with them: no more banned books.”
P!nk’s Florida dates kick off Tuesday night in Miami at the Kaseya Center. The pop superstar then has three more Florida stops in the 2023 Trustfall Tour: Wednesday in Sunrise and then Saturday and Sunday in Orlando.
The book giveaway will take place in Miami and Sunrise and will include four books that have appeared in PEN America’s Index of Banned Books: “The Family Book” by Todd Parr, “The Hill We Climb” by Amanda Gorman, “Beloved” by Toni Morrison and a book from “Girls Who Code,” founded by Reshma Saujani.
“We are thrilled to be working with P!nk on this important cause,” Kasey Meehan, director of PEN America’s Freedom to Read Program, said in a statement. P!nk teamed up with the free expression organization and local bookseller Books & Books for the initiative.
“Every child deserves access to literature that reflects their lives,” Meehan said. “Rampant censorship is depriving kids of the chance to see themselves in books and learn about the world and its history.”
Per a new report form PEN America, book bans are up 33% in the U.S., with Florida specifically accounting for more than 40% of all documented bans — far and away the state with the most bans.
The same report determined that books by LGBTQ+ and Black authors and books that explore related themes are disproportionately banned in the state.
First making the announcement in an Instagram Live interview with Instagram live with PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel and New York Times #1 bestselling author Amanda Gorman, P!nk further encouraged fans to visit pen.org/pink for more information on book bans and how to combat the policies that enact them.

Even before the romance started, one of the common passions that the beautiful one and I share is eating. We would either talk about the food we love (over a meal!), or ask each other their favorite food places and their usual orders there, or simply just talk about the cuisine we love most and share as to where we can find them. Over the years, our late night exploits with our friends is a very simple formula – great food, conversation, and drinks (for anyone up to it).
As a couple, this is what usually eats up the excesses of our monthly budget for day-in, day-out expenses. We dine out whenever we want to feel good and relax – there’s a great feeling of satisfaction that a great plate of food brings, and it’s almost given that we find conversation pieces to share to one another when eating out together. On one night, we could be eating in a nice, cozy medium-priced place with good food, and on another we dine in a low-key yet fulfilling food haunt. It can sometimes hurt the wallet or be friendly to it, but spending for food really doesn’t leave one with too much buyer’s remorse, even on a bad choice of a dining destination.
Anyway, we both tried new budget dishes at Italianni’s GB2 the other night, and much to our satisfaction, they were great. The beautiful one had pasta and fish (my apologies for forgetting their names – rickety memory), while I had 2 big slices of grilled pork belly on pesto rice with honey and butter sauce. The pasta and fish needed a little extra parmesan cheese to bring out the flavor, but this is something we usually do to our pasta dishes – ask for extra cheese. The pork belly was a little bit fattier, but the texture, taste and tenderness was all good for me. It went well with the sauce and pesto rice and left me feeling that euphoric sense after eating a good slab of grilled meat. All in all, we spent less than Php 1000 on the food and drinks (around Php 930 was the exact figure, I think) which is a bit high but considering the quality of food and service (gotta love the free bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar), it was well worth it.
The great meal really left us feeling great after such a tiring and draining week. It’s the cheapest getaway that we could afford – and though it may not be as relaxing and effective as a vacation, a great dining experience gives you a momentary one.
Each of us has that special food place that makes us feel good and we’re glad we found our places.

American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Panama: a historical review of entomological studies on anthropophilic Lutzomyia sand fly species
Dutari, Larissa C.
Loaiza, Jose R.
MetadataShow full item record
We review existing information on the epidemiology of American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (ACL) in Panama, with emphasis on the bionomics of anthropophilic Lutzomyia sand fly species. Evidence from Panamanian studies suggests that there are six anthropophilic species in the country: Lutzomyia trapidoi, Lu. panamensis, Lu. gomezi, Lu. ylephiletor, Lu. sanguinaria and Lu. pessoana (Henceforth Lu. carrerai thula). In general, these taxa are abundant, widespread and feed opportunistically on their hosts, which make them potential transmitters of pathogens to a broad range of wildlife, domesticated animals and humans. Furthermore, nearly all man-biting species in Panama (with the exception of Lu. gomezi) expand demographically during the rainy season when transmission is likely higher due to elevated Leishmania infection rates in vector populations. Despite this, data on the distribution and prevalence of ACL suggest little influence of vector density on transmission intensity. Apart from Lu. trapidoi, anthropophilic species seem to be most active in the understory, but vertical stratification, as well as their opportunistic feeding behavior, could vary geographically. This in turn seems related to variation in host species composition and relative abundance across sites that have experienced different degrees of human alteration (e.g., deforestation) in leishmaniasis endemic regions of Panama.

Technologies to clean up traffic exhaust emissions may not be effective for some types of particle pollution, a study has found.
If you stand at the edge of any major road, each cubic centimetre of air that you inhale will typically contain tens of thousands of tiny particles, far smaller than the wavelength of light. The small size of these ultrafine particles (UFPs) makes them impossible to see. They are also missed by conventional techniques that measure air pollution, they are not covered by the UK’s air pollution laws and the new study suggests they are evading systems installed in even the most modern vehicles.
The researchers from the University of Birmingham analysed more than 10 years of air pollution measurements from alongside London’s busy Marylebone Road. They found some clear successes for cleanup technologies. There were big reductions in larger particles, including diesel soot, as newer vehicles with exhaust filters began to dominate. But the smaller UFPs showed no sign of improvement between 2014 and 2020.
The lack of improvement in UFPs from traffic stems from a mismatch between the way vehicles are tested before they can be sold – the vehicle approval test – and their real world use.
For particle pollution, the tests were designed about a decade ago to require manufacturers to fit the best cleanup technology available at the time. UFPs are difficult to measure reliably in a vehicle test laboratory since many of them only form as exhaust cools and mixes with the air. The approval system therefore excluded the smallest particles in the exhaust to get a reliable test.
Prof Roy Harrison from the University of Birmingham, who led the new study, said: “The low cleanup efficiency with respect to these small exhaust particles was not a surprise, but we had to wait to get several years of good data to be sure of what was happening. The size of the effect – essentially no reduction in the smallest particles – was a surprise.”
We cannot afford to ignore the UFPs. In 2021, the Dutch Health Council and the World Health Organization (WHO) highlighted the growing evidence that UFPs are damaging our health. This includes 75 studies; mostly relating to lung inflammation, blood pressure and heart problems, along with risks to foetal growth.
In 2021 the WHO also defined what should be considered high concentrations of UFP. This threshold is frequently breached at Marylebone Road and in locations worldwide with a lot of diesel traffic. Sales of fossil fuel cars are likely to continue beyond 2030 and we are still waiting for mass-market alternatives to diesel power for heavier vehicles. Exposure to UFPs alongside major roads looks set to continue unless governments mandate tighter exhaust standards, until we can transition away from internal combustion engines or reduce traffic.
The improvement in diesel soot particles in London was also seen throughout Europe. One example is Leipzig, Germany where there were reductions due to a combination of new vehicles and the city’s low emission zone.

Authorities in Oakland, California claim that a 12-year-old child shot a 13-year-old boy at a school on Monday afternoon. According to Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong, the victim’s condition was stable following the gunshot at Madison Park Academy in East Oakland’s Sobrante Park neighborhood.
Armstrong added that officers “quickly and safely” took the boy into custody at around 1:30 p.m. and provided medical aid to the wounded student. “It saddens me to think a kid would bring a gun to school,” continued Armstrong, per NBC. “No parent wants to send their kids to school in the day and then be called saying, ‘Your kid’s been shot.’ It’s the worst call you can get.”
The shooting comes during a violent week in the city, with six deaths occurring in the last four days, according to the NBC Bay Area local affiliate. “Unfortunately, the city of Oakland continues to be plagued by gun violence,” Chief Armstrong said in a news conference Monday. “Sadly, we are coming off the heels of the deadliest month, and the deadliest week, that we’ve had all year. I’m afraid our community is becoming numb to this horrific behavior.”
Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf said in a statement on Twitter Monday that the shooting was “unacceptable.” “School should be the safest place for our kids. As a mother and a mayor, I’m relieved the young victim at Madison is in stable condition and a suspect apprehended. The increased level of gun violence in our country and our city is heartbreaking and unacceptable,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, parents at the school were understandably shaken by the incident. “I left work immediately, went home, came straight up here. My kids are my world,” parent David Mann told NBC Bay Area. “Come on, man, this has got to stop, Oakland, this has got to stop.”

Though the rear housing of the iPhone 6S Plus is not smoother, it is much stronger than iPhone 6 Plus
The images of Apple’s next generation smartphones continue to be leaked online, as a website publishes several photos of the alleged iPhone 6S Plus.
The images have been published by a website, called Future Supplier, claiming that the images are of the real iPhone 6S Plus. The images clearly show that there are a lot of similarities between the current and next generation iPhones.
However, there are slight differences between the two models, including the position of screws which were being applied to support the module of the loudspeaker, and the rear housing material. According to the unnamed sources, the rear housing of the iPhone 6S Plus is not as smooth as the iPhone 6 Plus. Nonetheless, it is much stronger than the rear housing of the present version of the larger iPhone.
In spite of these slight changes, the design of the current generation iPhone 6 Plus and the next generation iPhone 6S Plus looks almost same. It seems very logical, as the “S” generation upgrade of iPhone always has a similar look in comparison with its predecessor.
Apple is rumored to release the next generation iPhones in two variants. The first model, the iPhone 6S, will have a 4.7-inch screen. On the other hand, the second model, the iPhone 6S Plus, will have a 5.5-inch display. Both of them are expected to be released in September.

Three biological science students presented their findings on the various effects of taurine, a chemical found in energy drinks, on adolescent mice at Northern Kentucky University’s 13th annual Celebration of student research and creativity.
According to Jamie Weimer, a biological science major, the amino acid taurine is found in high concentrations in energy drinks.
“The Mayo Clinic recommends no more than 3,000 milligrams per day, but a lot of the major energy drinks have 1,000 milligrams,” Weimer said. “But taurine is also found in meat and cheese as well, so it would be really easy to go over that limit.
Josephine Brown, a major in cellular/molecular genetics, said because energy drinks are advertised to male adolescents, they chose to conduct the study on mice in this age group.
“Energy drinks are specifically targeted toward adolescent males in particular, and here we looked at taurine exposure in the mice during an adolescent period in development,” Brown said.
Mice were administered taurine over the course of thirty days. The students stopped treatment and examined the anxiety, motor functions, hyperactivity and spatial and non-spatial learning of the mice.
Clare Ludwig, a cellular/molecular genetics major, used high-performance liquid chromatography to study the effects of taurine in the brain tissue of the mice.
“In summary, taurine exposure in males hurts both their spatial and non-spatial learning and memory,” Brown said. “And for females, it improves their spatial learning and memory, and causes deficits in non-spatial learning and memory.”

On 28th January 2021, the government published the new version of the Model Tenancy Agreement including provisions to make it easier for tenants with well-behaved pets to secure leases. This agreement prohibits landlords from issuing a blanket ban on pets, providing a glimmer of hope for “responsible” pet owners, albeit conditional. Instead, landlords will have 28 days to object in writing to any formal pet request from the tenant with valid reasoning behind their position. Where there is good reason, such as the impracticality of pets within smaller properties, allergy risks or untrained pets, landlords have the right to object. The consent of the landlord here is paramount. By no means do tenants now have an unconditional right to house pets within their rental properties.
The changes, to date, are not yet mandatory as the government’s Model Tenancy Agreement is “recommended” as a guideline or template for landlords to follow. Landlords have no obligation to use the government drafted document. A tenancy agreement is a binding document which should reflect the terms of both parties and can be amended accordingly. The Model Tenancy Agreement merely encourages landlords to consider allowing pets within their properties. Should you choose to use this agreement, there is plenty of room for interpretation; there is currently no definition of “a pet” and nothing which outlines what is required to be a “responsible pet owner”. The current PainSmith Tenancy Agreement and additional animal clauses remain more than sufficient and those currently using them can continue to do so.
While landlords can consent to pets on the condition that an additional deposit is paid by the tenant, this must not breach the five-week deposit cap where the annual rental is less than £50,000 or six weeks where it is £50,000 or more. As there is currently no restriction on charging different rents to different tenants, one potential solution could be to increase the monthly rent for pet owners. If advertised properly by saying rent may vary upon the circumstances of the Tenancy, a property which rents for £1000 pcm could increase to £1050 pcm for the addition of pets. In this way, landlords benefit from retaining this additional rental income instead of returning a deposit at the end at the end of the tenancy if there was no pet damage.
The debate surrounding landlords and tenants with pets remains ongoing with the Dogs and Domestic Animals (Accommodation and Protection) Bill which is currently in its second stage of reading in the House of Commons. A Bill which also proposes the right to keep domestic animals in accommodation if a certificate has been issued by a veterinary surgeon covering the health and training of the pet. This, however, is a Private Members’ Bill which rarely become law unless adopted by the Government. Until then, the matter remains open to interpretation.

The only way to fix the short-term unemployment problem is by fixing the long-term issues that have fallen into treacherous disrepair over the past decade. Several long-term issues that must be fixed include, for starters, minimum wage legislation, unionization, and employer health-care mandates. Then, once we get an improved business environment, investors and employers will come off the sidelines and start investing and hiring. But without that change, prudent investors will shy away from productive ventures, preferring to hoard their money in treasury bills. The longer we wait to implement these overdue reforms, the more delayed the recovery will be. Here are four reasons why the left’s two-part strategy of stimulus now, and (maybe) reform later is doomed to fail.
