The Audience for my media product was largely shaped by my brief, which stated the film should appear to be aimed at "15-25yr old males and females". The audience for my product would also be dependent on the other aspects in the brief, namely that it should be an action film appearing to be based on a computer game.
Taking this into account when thinking of a target audience I realised that my target audience was most likely going to primarily consist of fans of both areas of the media, film and computer games. So from combining the research I had done into audience during the research and planning stages the average member of my target audience member will most likely to like the more mainstream titles from the two genres, which shaped how I created the product, because I chose to base it off a fictional AAA title, "On the edge".
From the research I did into the audience for my Film opening I began to build up a picture of the kind of person I would be aiming my product at, I did this so that I was able to tailor the film to the target audience by selecting the framing, mise-en-scene and other elements that were commonly seen in films aimed at the age bracket.
An interesting aspect I thought to look at when deciding on a target audience was nationality, as computer games are probably the most inclusive medium when it comes to interaction across cultures, due to the two key power houses, Playstation(japan) and Microsoft(America) being global companies as well as development companies existing all over the world, but being linked by online community services such as PSN, Xbox Live, Steam and many more. This lead me to realise that a film fronted by EA(one of my distribution companies) would reach a world wide audience. Taking this into account I made sure to look at a wide variety of films for research to pander to my global target audience.

Let me start by saying, I already know how this post will end.
I just hope I am not alone in getting to that ending.
The girls are growing so fast. I know its a total cliche, but they really do grow up before your very eyes.
I can still remember leaving the hospital with Liv and feeling like my undercarriage was falling out.
I can still remember holding them both in my arms for the very first time. The way they smelt and looked so perfect and innocent.
But now they are 3 and 6. Now they don’t lie still, they don’t love cuddles, they don’t like to be sniffed and snuggled.
Now they like to make noise, create chaos and make their presence very well known.
Don’t get me wrong, I love how they are now. But part of me misses those little babies.
Part of me knows I can have one. I have all the right parts still. Just a little, well, looser?
I could just completely shake up our normal and do it all again.
I really could.
But I can’t.
I know the effects it would have on my MS, which in turn affects the whole family. I would be even less normal than I am now.
I couldn’t face the endless nights awake and I couldn’t let Ben do it all alone. My poor husband has enough to deal with.
I couldn’t suddenly stop all my medication and expect to be okay. And I couldn’t spend as much time going to appointments as I do now with a baby in tow.
As much as every part of me wants just one more.
Equally those parts don’t.
It just wouldn’t work.
So yeah. I do want another baby. But I also couldn’t think of anything more debilitating to do to this family.
We will have to stay this way…

An award-winning film centred on the stunning scenery of the Yorkshire Dales National Park is touring the UK’s national parks.
Lad: A Yorkshire Story is the tale of teenager Tom Proctor, who comes to terms with the death of his dad through a friendship he forms with National Park Ranger Al Thorpe.
You can read about the making of Lad in the March edition of Dalesman in an article illustrated with pictures from the shoot.
Lad has already won the Golden Oosikar – the main prize – at the Anchorage International Film Festival and writer/director Dan Hartley, who based the story on his own experiences growing up in the Dales, will also be picking up a best feature film prize at Worldfest in Houston, Texas.
The character Al Thorpe was modelled on the late Al Boughen, who was a Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority (YDNPA) Ranger in the 1980s. Mr Hartley, who used to live in Austwick, said that, as a teenager, Mr Boughen was his mentor and inspiration for several years.

CHP leader Kılıçdaroğlu blasts France over ‘Quran manifesto’
Main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has joined the chorus of critics of a manifesto published by prominent French intellectuals and politicians suggesting that some Quranic verses incite hatred and violence.
“It is not the Quran that is out of date, but you,” Kılıçdaroğlu said on May 8 addressing his CHP parliamentary group.
“This attitude or judgment is the judgment of al-Qaeda, al-Nusra and Daesh. [In this way] you are giving them your support,” he said, adding that the world accepts Islam as a religion of peace.
“There is no fight, grudge, or anger in Islam. In Islam there is merit and peace. How dare you define Islam this way? Respecting people’s faith is necessary for human dignity,” Kılıçdaroğlu said.
His remarks come after 300 French intellectuals and politicians, including former President Nicolas Sarkozy and former Prime Minister Manuel Valls, signed a manifesto published in Le Parisien on April 21. The manifesto suggests some Quran verses incite violence and hatred toward Jews, Christians and nonbelievers, and was interpreted as a demand to abrogate the Quran.
Kılıçdaroğlu slammed Erdoğan’s campaign manifesto
Kılıçdaroğlu also blasted President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s election campaign manifesto declared on May 5 at an Istanbul rally.
The CHP leader questioned why the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) “cannot stand upright if there is a threat to Turkey’s survival,” adding that the president “blames foreign powers for all the government’s failures.”
If the country has been brought to the issue of “survival” then blame can be laid at the door of the government that has been in office for over 15 years, Kılıçdaroğlu said.
He also blasted the collapse of meritocracy in Turkey, saying the government has “abolished merit and loyalty to [the state] as criteria” in favor of “individualization” of the administration with “every decision made by the palace.”
The laws do not work and the functions of state institutions have been destroyed, the CHP head stated.

Frédéric Tomesco reports:
More than 2.9 million Desjardins Group members have had their personal information compromised in a data breach targeting Canada’s biggest credit union.
The incident stems from “unauthorized and illegal use of internal data” by an employee who has since been fired, Desjardins said Thursday in a statement. Computer systems were not breached, the cooperative said.
Names, dates of birth, social insurance numbers, addresses and phone numbers of about 2.7 million individual members were released to people outside the organization, Desjardins said. Passwords, security questions and personal identification numbers weren’t compromised, Desjardins stressed. About 173,000 business customers were also affected.
Read more on Montreal Gazette.
The statement from Desjardins Group does not offer any explanation of the former employee’s “ill-intentioned” conduct. Was the employee selling the data to criminals? Were they selling it to spammers? Were they giving it to a competitor? It would be easier to evaluate the risk to individuals if they knew more about the crime itself, I think.

Hypertension, or High Blood Pressure is one of the most common cardiovascular issues present in North America. A normal blood pressure reading in adults is 120 (systolic) / 80 (diastolic), and though this is the normal reading for a healthy adult, it is good to know that blood pressure can also change with age, often times a raise or change in blood pressure is common in individuals who are over 50. Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for heart attach or stroke with many dietary and lifestyle factors linked to this chronic cardiovascular disease. Yet there is more to high blood pressure than meets the eye, it can be a far more complicated situation than simply being caused by lifestyle or dietary choices. Blood pressure is determined by mechanical movements in the body (cardiovascular, renal, circulatory), hormones, and environmental factors.
Please note that despite herbal medicine having many options for individuals with hypertension, severe hypertension (160+/115+) is considered a situation that requires immediate medical attention. In cases such as this a prescription medication may be necessary to achieve initial control. After which natural protocols can be implemented with the guidance of an appropriate practitioner.
Causes of Hypertension:
In more than 95% of cases, a specific underlying cause of hypertension cannot be found, and many factors can contribute to its development. Factors such as kidney disfunction, issues with peripheral resistance vessel tone, endothelial dysfunction, and neurohumoral factors can all be less common causes. Besides these, there are also important environmental factors such as high salt intake, a heavy consumption of alcohol etc., the list below identifies the most common causes of hypertension.
Common Symptoms of Hypertension:
Hypertension is predominantly asymptomatic, meaning it has no symptoms. Generally, an individual does not know they have high blood pressure until they are seen by their practitioner for a check up or an issue occurs. A blood pressure check taken yearly is advisable in adults. Though hypertension often has no symptoms, the most common are as follows:
Complications Associated with Hypertension:
It is estimated that nearly 1 in 5 Canadians (4.6 million) have some form of hypertension, and over 103 million Americans suffer from the same malady. Untreated and un-diagnosed hypertension can lead to many different systemic complications. As pressure rises in arteries, these issues can branch out to cause systemic failures throughout the body. Some of the more common but serious complications are as follows:
How to Check your Blood Pressure at Home:
Natural Suggestions for Hypertension:
Thankfully there are many herbs, supplements, and lifestyle modifications that can be implemented to safely and reliably help with hypertension. If you are on medications please speak to your medical doctor so that dosage and blood pressure can be monitored as you make improvements.

it’s been seven years two and a Half Men aired its series finale, and closed a 12-season book filled with more behind-the-scenes drama than most soap operas. Now, star Jon Cryer is witnessing his time on the show and the infamous high-profile outburst with his longtime co-star Charlie Sheen.
Cryer recently sat down with ET’s Kevin Frazier to look at the drama and downward spiral that brought the megahit sitcom to an almost untimely end.
“In the early years, life was great with Charlie Sheen. We were great, he was sober for two years when we started the show, and it was really important for him to stay calm,” shared Cryer. “And for those first few years, the show also went on so smoothly.”
As Cryer recalled, he was “impressed by Charlie Sheen’s performance in performing in front of an audience,” because being a movie star and playing with a live audience are very different skills from being a TV star. “She did it straight out of the box like it was genetically programmed into her body. It was fun and very confident.”
“For those first few years, you know, it was an incredible joy,” he shared.
Throughout the show, Cryer said that Sheen had other projects and obligations, but that he “understood that being back on the show was home, and it was great.”
“Then, in later years, when we began to notice that things were getting stranger for him, and his marriage fell apart, he was still lovely to work with, he still showed up on time and knew his lines. Was and was working. But you could tell there was some trouble with the brewing,” Cryer said.
“He started having problems with writing and sometimes problems with writing that I didn’t understand. I’d say, ‘This is a joke you didn’t have a problem with a year and a half ago, and suddenly now it’s an issue? ‘ So, you know, it was very subtle,” Cryer recalled. “It took a while before it really started to derail.”
As Sheen’s behavior became more erratic and he began to publicly feud with producer Chuck Lorre, Cryer remembered how the media frenzy quickly picked up and the story took over his life.
“It was such a crazy firearm. Even internationally, you know? It was the biggest thing,” Cryer said.
As Sheen’s public statements became increasingly incendiary and unexpected, Cryer said that he and Lorre seriously considered ending the show so as not to facilitate his behavior.
“I think uh there was a moment when Chuck Lorre and I were looking at each other and we said, ‘It’s not worth this show if Charlie enables Sheen to kill himself. Does it end his life, you know, we don’t want to be a part of that,’ he explained. “And I think, actually, when Charlie was let go of the show, So the first thought among most of us was, ‘Okay, we’re done. It’s a great thing, but, we’re done at this point.'”
However, Lorre had a different idea. The show eliminated Sheen’s character and brought in Ashton Kutcher for some new blood.
“He was just so positive every day and brought so much to the table that we all opened up to a little bit of the sheen madness after,” Cryer said. “We forgot how stressed we were all the time while we waited for the next shoe to drop. And once Ashton came in with this incredible positive energy, we all went, ‘Oh, this again Can be fun!'”
Despite the rollercoaster of drama and tension, Cryer explained, “There was never a moment when I said the show wasn’t worth it to me. Because the show, to me, was great. I loved working on it.”

We walk in the door, we’re met with the smell of roasted beans and smiling baristas. There’s comfort in the familiarity of our favorite coffee shop, whether it’s a well-known chain or a small, independent house of java. Of course, let’s not forget the beloved tea shop. A graceful place of respite.
Ode poetry sometimes sings the praises of the everyday. Write an ode about a favorite coffee or tea shop. What makes it yours? Write about the atmosphere, or the people who craft the beverages that make your day bright.
A special thanks to everyone who participated in last week’s poetry prompt. Here is a poem from Maureen that made us smile:
Thank you, thank you to the litter
-bugs who leave us space to clean.
But if it’s true they trash the boaters,
the big and small who capsize floaters,
I say, then, call in our drones
from the flooded no-wake zones.
And thank you, thank you
to the double-dippers
who take more than their fair share;
they’re like the bullies in the sand box
who never survive a dare.
And thank you, too, to the woman who smells
more than that little dab’ll do her.
Her trail is long that we’d follow if we could
but most of us would just prefer
she keep to her ‘hood.
A special note of thanks for the salad bar
sneezer. But better him, you say,
than the old bald geezer
who ogles much too long
the place where eyes do not belong.
And the loud library guests, let us thank
them as well. Beware the finger
to your lips, though,
they’re apt to make life h…..
A thumbs up to the kickers and screamers;
it’s their mommas for the hundredth time
we’d like to clobber with our sneakers.
Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you
to the people with pet peeves.
Not a one of us is without them
and every one of us strives to please.
Sometimes we feature your poems in Every Day Poems, with your permission of course. Thanks for writing with us!

See You Later
I’ve been hesitant to write this because I wasn’t sure how transparent I wanted to be. I wasn’t sure how much I wanted to share. The close relative I mentioned in my last article passed away April 13th. She was my Aunt, but she was more like a mother to me. She raised me from age 6 to age 16. My Mother had me at a young age, and my aunt stepped in to help. I won’t give a full history but suffice to say she was extremely important to me. I thought I was going home for her surgery, but found out the day before my flight she was being brought home for home hospice the day I was to arrive. Upon her being brought home, my mom and I spent the next 4 days taking care of her. I would stay up until around 3:30 am and then she would relieve me so I could get some sleep. It was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced in my life. My aunt spent 30 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and made it to E-9…the highest rank an enlisted person can obtain. In short…she was a strong woman. To see her in the state she was in led me to break down in tears on multiple occasions. I was watching her die. And there wasn’t anything I could do about it. So many memories. I just knew she would be in my life at least another 10 years…and yet here we were at the end. I kept asking God not to let her suffer, and that she deserved better than this. On the fourth day…early that morning…I watched her take her final breath. I can’t believe she’s gone. It happened so fast. I find solace in knowing she’s at peace. It’s the people left behind who have to deal with the loss. She couldn’t speak, but she could understand what was being said. I told her I don’t want her to go…but I won’t be selfish…and that when she’s ready to go…go. I’m an extremely private person, so this is outside of the norm for me. Only a select few get to hear my innermost thoughts. I share a lot with people…but at the same time…they still never really know me. My emotions are still raw, but the intensity of the waves is diminishing. Maybe next time I’ll write about something uplifting. But in this moment, I can only give a little advice. Tell your loved ones you love them every chance you get. You never know when it will be the last time.

Kiambu Woman Representative Gathoni Wa Muchomba now claims that people from Mount Kenya region are very hungry with President Uhuru Kenyatta, this comes after she defected from Jubilee to join the Deputy President's UDA camp.

According to a post by kenyans.co.keon their official twitter account on Monday, Wa Muchomba alleged that people from Mount Kenya did not permit President Uhuru to have a handshake with ODM Party leader Raila Odinga.
In the meantime, the legislator confirmed that because the president never had the blessings of his people in having talks with Raila Odinga, she has no regrets about ditching him to join the Deputy President Dr William Ruto.
On Wednesday June 23rd, the Kiambu Woman Representative affirmed that she had left Jubilee and joined UDA citing that she was receiving pressure from her constituents to do so.
Wamuchomba has always illustrated her cheerleading abilities on many instances while she was in the kieleweke team and for this, she has been seen to have brought a big deal to the Tangatanga group.

I was reminded that today is February 2012 Bloom Day, so I went through our garden and took photos of everything in bloom. I didn’t have time to process all the photos, but I wanted to post at least one, so I can get the February 2012 Bloom Day Badge on Folia. I’ll update this post when I upload more blooms.
It was pretty much overcast the whole day but I got a lot done in the garden.
I moved a lot of pots with dead plants (annuals) from the front garden to the container graveyard in the back. I’ll rejuvenate the soil in these pots with compost, azomite, worm castings and the whole bit, when I find something else to plant in them. I moved three pots of Hyacinths which are now blooming to the front as well as the pot of Daffodil ‘Dick Widen’, Tulip ‘Pastel Mix’ and Tulip ‘Queen of the Night’. I don’t think the Tulips will rebloom this year, but there are 2-3 Daffodils that survived and are budded.
I took the water sprayer again and sprayed off the gray Aphids that remain on the Collards, Kale and Brussels Sprouts. There are much less Aphids than before, but a few remain.
We had a dwarf Calamansi tree in a huge pot that died last year and I finally got around to pulling it out (it was actually my Brother’s tree, so I thought he would take care of it). I asked my Mom if I can plant her Pomegranate that’s in a 5-gallon pot in the back yard to this larger pot. I think it’ll do much better here in a larger pot under full sun. I’ll also add a lots of compost, azomite and worm castings in the pot before potting up the Pomegranate. My Mom was complaining that the Pomegranate hasn’t bore fruit, but it’s siblings that she gave my Aunts already had fruits.
I have two 3-gallon pots of Blue Curled Scotch Kale (3 plants in each pot) that are getting bigger, so I think I’ll divide one pot and plant each plant into their own 3-galloon pot. I then had an idea and though of planting some dwarf Snap Peas ‘Sugar Ann’ that I purchased a few days ago around the Kale. I think Kale, being a leafy green, likes Nitrogen… and Snap Peas produce Nitrogen in it’s roots, so maybe they’ll be happy together… Well, we’ll see…
I then planted a 7-gallon Dirt Pot with the Walla Walla Sweet Onions seedlings that I bought a few days ago. I think I got about 11 seedlings into the pot. I had 6 seedlings leftover, so I potted those up into a large 6 cell pack and will plant it in the Square Foot Garden later.
It was getting dark and starting to sprinkle, but I planted two 1-gallon pots with seeds I found. One with the Daylily seeds I found in Mare Island and the other with the Orange Calendula I found at Prusch Park in San Jose. I hope these grow.
Now it’s raining, so I don’t have to water the plants :) That’s a good thing.
This afternoon, it was raining, but I went outside to bring out the kitchen scraps for the compost bin.
I got the to compost bin and noticed tons of Soldier Fly Larvae crawling out of the compost bin. I tried my hardest not to smash any.
The Purple Hyacinths were blooming although slugs and snail have gotten to the flowers.
I walked around and noticed the Pink Banana Passiflora (which seemed to have died in the winter) now has tiny buds growing near it’s base.
Next to it, I also noticed that the Hyacinth-like plants (from my friend Howard) are sprouting up, although there were weeds and a Kiwi seedling in the pot.
What really made my day, was seeing my Yellow Masdevallia Orchid, which I took outdoors about two years ago, now re-blooming for the first time. This is the first non-Cymbidium Orchid that rebloomed for me… I think I want to get more Masdevallia Orchids now, since they seem to survive outdoors and actually bloom (in the winter)!!!

Our modern lifestyle is making us sick, mostly because of what we are putting in our mouths. Currently, there are more than 400 million people with diabetes worldwide. With diabetes and high blood sugar affecting your health, you need to take action to reduce your risk.
Diabetes is a condition that leads to excessive blood sugar in the body, which in turn can lead to several other health complications.
One way to achieve better blood sugar levels is to follow a low-carb diet. A low carbohydrate (carb) diet is one of the best ways to keep blood glucose levels in a healthy range for people with diabetes.
Low carb diet is one popular choice among dieters and fitness enthusiasts. Low carb diet works on the premise that lesser carbs mean lesser insulin in our blood and that leads to fat being burnt for fuel which leads to weight loss.
This article will provide a detailed overview of Low Carb diets for managing diabetes. This provides new, clear evidence of how Low Carb eating benefits people with diabetes on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.
Diabetes is one of the most commonly found disorders affecting millions of people across the globe. Each type of diabetes is a chronic condition that develops over time. Diabetes can be controlled through insulin therapy, exercise, diet, and medication. A new study has said that people with diabetes may benefit from consuming a low-carb eating diet.
Of the three macronutrients — carbs, fat, and protein — carbs have the greatest impact on blood sugar management.
With diabetes, the body can’t effectively process carbohydrates. Normally, the food you ingest is broken down into small units which end up as blood sugar. When blood glucose levels begin to rise, the pancreas responds by producing the hormone insulin so that you can use the glucose. This hormone allows blood sugar to enter cells.
When everything is functioning optimally, blood sugar levels remain within a narrow range but if you have diabetes, this system doesn’t work in the same way. This is a big problem because having both too high (hyperglycemia) and too low (hypoglycemia) blood sugar levels can cause severe harm.
To compensate, the pancreas produces more insulin, attempting to bring blood sugar down. This can be because your pancreas is damaged and simply can’t make enough insulin to balance the sugar in your blood. Therefore, people with diabetes may need to take large doses of medication, insulin, or both when they eat a lot of carbohydrates.
Regardless of why it happens, persistent high blood sugar is detrimental to your health.
Diabetes is a major concern among people across the world. Hence, experts suggest that keeping up a healthy lifestyle and having a nutritious diet can manage the blood glucose level in the body.
The new study finds out the right kind of diet that can have a positive impact on people with diabetes.
“To address this evidence gap, a team of international researchers set out to assess the effectiveness and safety of low carbohydrate diets (LCDs) and very low carbohydrate diets (VLCDs) for people with type 2 diabetes, compared with (mostly low fat) control diets,” read a statement published on the official website of British Medical Journal.
In one study, people with diabetes following a Low Carb diet and a very low-carb diet remained well managed more than 3 years later if they stuck to the diet. It also helped reduce medication in the participants and improve triglyceride concentrations in the first six months.
However, the researchers are yet to find out the long-term effectiveness of the Low Carb diet.
The researchers explained, “clinicians might consider short term Low Carb Diets for managing type 2 diabetes, while actively monitoring and adjusting diabetes medication as needed”.
What’s the optimal carb intake for people with diabetes?
This is an important place to start, as well as a touchy subject for some. The ideal carb intake for people living with diabetes is somewhat a bit controversial. No universal definition of what a low carb diet looks like, most healthcare professionals agree that “low carb” is considered fewer than 100 to 150 grams of carbs eaten per day. The optimal amount of carbs may also vary by the individual since everyone has a unique response to carbs.
“Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, who has type 1 diabetes, has eaten 30 grams of carbs per day and documented excellent blood sugar management in his patients who follow the same regimen.”
There are many different ways to go about restricting your carb intake. Some extremely Low Carb diets include the ketogenic diet as well as the paleo diet, where people typically eat fewer than 50 grams of carbs per day.
At the end of the day, it comes down to what feels sustainable and appropriate for you.
Foods to Eat

Many people with diabetes have found a lot of success with eating a Low Carb diet. As you can see, many studies show that following a Low Carb diet can result in improvements in decreasing medication needs, and blood sugar levels, and reducing the risk of diabetic complications.
Remember: People who take insulin or other diabetes medications must speak with their doctor before making any dietary changes, as your medication dosages may need to be adjusted.


|A White Supremacist Under Every Bed|
by Alex Tabarrok
September 24, 2022
AlphaHistory: The Red Scare (1947-57) was a decade-long period of intense anti-communist paranoia in the United States. During this period, millions of ordinary Americans were paralysed by an irrational fear of ‘Reds under the bed’ – the belief that thousands of communist agents and sympathisers were secretly living amongst them, plotting or waiting to overthrow the government. Today, we live under the White Supremacist Scare, the irrational fear that there is a white supremacist under every bed. An email sent to the parents of University of Virginia students, for example, warns that “events have occurred on Grounds that have been cause for concern” and “the nature and timing of these events have caused some to speculate that they are linked or part of a larger pattern of racially motivated crimes…”. Here is one such event:
Last weekend, several community members reported that a flag bearing a symbol that looked either like a crown or an owl, depending on how the flag is held, was left on the grass near the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers. That same person also left a check for $888.88 that was ultimately delivered, as a surprise, to a student’s room, and the check had the same symbol that was on the flag. As rumors swirled around this bizarre set of events, some speculated that the flag represented a white supremacist organization and that the check was somehow a targeted act of intimidation against a student of color. A crown! An owl! A check for $888.88! Heil Hitler! It seems odd that giving a check to someone is “targeting” a person of color. But no matter. Logic isn’t important here. What else could this mean but white supremacy? Bear in mind that this is a university where streaking the lawn is a tradition and there are weird numbers, signs, and sigils all over campus.
The UVA police and the FBI—yes, the FBI!—were called in to investigate (n.b. there isn’t even a hint of any crime!). And they got the culprit! Of course, what they discovered was entirely banal. Does it even matter?
“…we discovered that he is part of an organization focusing on micro-philanthropy that occasionally engages in random acts of kindness to current students.” Moreover, the UVA administration is advertising their investigation, as if how seriously they took this potential threat is a credit to the organization instead of an embarrassment of poor judgment and fevered imagination.

A paper street is a street that doesn’t exist; it’s only on paper. Paper streets exist all over the place – or, don’t exist all over the place. I’m trying to say they’re common. They’re not quite the same thing as a trap street or a paper town, but they’re also exactly the same. A trap street is a street that a mapmaker (your Rand McNallys) pulls out of the air and puts on a map to see if some other mapmaker is plagiarizing their maps. Maps are copyrighted, you see. Paper towns are the same thing – created by mapmakers to track if someone is stealing their map data. There’s a story about how a mapmaker put a fake town on their map, and it was indeed copied to other maps, but people referencing the map thought that the area was really named that, and a hamlet did grow there. A paper town willed into life.
But a paper street is not quite that (despite being the same: a street that only exists on paper), because it is an intention that was never carried out. Every town has them. Olean has a handful (Bob guesses 15-20, but that’s unofficial), and they were at one point planned, but to this day remain invisible, unknown. Paper streets can be problematic. They’re right-of-ways, owned by the city, just like any other road. That means you can’t build on them, you can’t dig them up, and you have to respect the easements (you may not be able to build anything within 5 or 10 feet of the paper street, for example). The city owns the deeds to those streets, and if they require access to them, they’ll take access.
Sometimes these streets almost exist. They’re dirt tracks, or trails, routes that people have taken for years, even if they’re not particularly driveable. Sometimes paper streets are also real streets, just with missing sections. Once in a great while, a paper street will be given (or sold) by the city for a specific purpose.
Here are some of Olean’s:
3 responses to “Paper Street”
So interesting. Loving the story about the paper town that germinated a new community!
99% Invisible had an episode about maps, and mentioned something similar. A map maker created a fake town in the corner of their map to track who was copying their map.
Years later an investigator visited the area and found the town. It was created by the residents because the map said there was a town there ..

Manufactured Housing Comparison to Site-Built Homes
Manufactured homes, also known as prefabricated or "prefab" homes, are homes that are built at a location separate from the one in which they are eventually lived in. The houses are usually assembled off-site and then transported in one or more large pieces to a more permanent location for assembly and installation. Manufactured homes can present a number of advantages and disadvantages to site-built houses, making them an appropriate option for some, but not all homeowners.
According to the publication "Modular Today," the term "manufactured housing" can refer to two types of structures: mobile homes and modular homes. Mobile homes are homes built on a steel chassis and are often not placed on a permanent foundation. Because they are not considered houses, mobile homes must conform only to a building code outlined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Like mobile homes, modular homes are made in a factory. However, unlike mobile homes, they must conform to all local building codes. They bear a greater resemblance to regular, site-built houses than do mobile homes.
Manufactured houses enjoy several advantages over site-built houses. Generally, modular homes and mobile homes are cheaper than site-built houses. And, due to their simply design, they often enjoy lower repair and maintenance costs as well. The time it takes to construct these houses is also dramatically shorter than the time necessary to build a site-built home from scratch.
While modular homes usually appreciate in value along with site-built homes, mobile homes usually do not. Due to their often flimsier construction, mobile homes generally depreciate in value as they grow older and begin to wear out, making them a poor investment. Also, many mobile homes are less durable than site-built homes, often lacking a foundation, making them inappropriate for areas that experience extreme weather.
Legally, mobile houses are not considered houses; rather, they are a form of personal property. This status can create a number of complications for their owners. Most seriously, mobile home owners are generally unable to take out mortgages on their property, but must seek out personal property loans instead. In addition, local zoning restrictions may bar them from certain residential neighborhoods.
Dissatisfaction with mobile homes is very high. According to a survey conducted by the Consumers Union, almost 6 out of every 10 owners of mobile homes stated that their homes contained at least one major problem. These include problems in the home's design, difficulty finding financing, and finding a suitable location in which to place the home.

We work to alleviate poverty by building life-saving eco-toilets
Unbelievably, 2.6 billion people don’t have access to a toilet. Without toilets sewage pollutes drinking water spreading illness and disease. Those most affected are among the world’s poorest, often sick, unable to work or attend school, remaining trapped in a cycle of poverty.
A child dies every 17 seconds from a sanitation-related illness –
we’re working hard to change that
Here at Wherever the Need we develop and build life-saving eco-toilets.
Since being established in 1997, we have changed the lives of over 50,000 people in India, Sierra Leone and Kenya. The simple act of building a toilet reduces pollution, disease and sickness, it creates healthy communities, promotes self-respect and dignity, and underpins education and livelihoods.

I love the factory grips on my handgun, but after a whole day of conceal carry during summer, they turn a little bit too much for my skin. These grips fit very well to my 92x compact RDO and enhance the grip of my hands. The only issue was the ends of the grips by the bottom part on the back are too pointed and sharp, and after shooting a couple of mags, it bothers a little bit, but nothing that a little bit of sandpaper can't fix. After I set that issue, this grips rock.

Justin Trudeau’s support among Canadians is plummeting, in large part because of his arrogant elitist attitude.
Trudeau is clearly more focused on serving the agenda of the powerful and feeding the narrative of the establishment media, rather than serving the Canadian people.
This has created a massive opportunity for the opposition parties – particularly the Conservatives. There are a massive amount of Canadians waiting to see a party that will actually turn their back on the harmful globalist agenda and finally put the interests of Canadian workers and Canadian families first.
The Conservatives could be that party. However, if they are to seize that opportunity, they need to cure themselves of the Ottawa-elitist attitude.
With that in mind, there was recently a disturbing sign that elitism infects all parties – including the Conservatives.
When Liberal cabinet Minister Amarjeet Sohi spoke about his past career as a working-class bus driver in Edmonton, some (though clearly not all) Conservative MPs could be heard laughing at him.
Sohi was speaking about a Winnipeg bus driver who had been stabbed to death, and discussed how he had learned to connect with people through interacting with them as a bus driver.
Laughing at Sohi for that story was a big mistake.
Not only is it dumb politically, but it also makes those who laughed look out-of-touch.
It’s not about whether people agree with Sohi or the Liberals. It’s about the message laughing at him sends.
It will only confirm in the minds of many people the idea that everyone who goes to Ottawa ends up corrupted by the political prestige and sense of power. It’s why so many people have lost faith in politics, and don’t see anyone who represents them.
Of course, Trudeau has been far worse. He is the biggest elitist around, and his actions are hurting Canadians.
But the Conservatives must actually live up to their anti-government rhetoric. We know the government has become corrupt, way too big, and totally out of control. Just because they’re sitting in Parliament is no excuse for MPs to get comfortable with a broken system. They need to fight it from the inside, not become a part of it.
If the Conservatives can shake off elitism and actually fight for Canadian workers and families, they have a great chance at beating Justin Trudeau. Our country has been sold out, and our people are being betrayed. But the Conservatives can only seize the opportunity created by the Liberals failure if they show that they are the party of hard-working Canadians.
That means lower taxes, fixing corrupt and broken trade deals, getting rid of the carbon tax, respecting taxpayer dollars, and keeping our country safe. The Conservatives must be the party that breaks the unaccountable power of Ottawa and returns it back to the Canadian people.
A big part of that is showing respect for Canadian workers.
That’s why the Conservatives must guard against elitism, fighting against it in other parties, and stomping it out within their own party. That is the only way they can seize the opportunity created by Justin Trudeau’s incompetence, deception, and failure.

A three-dimensional ultrasound is an image created by processing multiple 2-dimensional images in order to get depth to the picture.
It uses simple, safe ultrasound waves, which are then processed by high powered computer technology.
Then, the images are displayed on a large screen for you to appreciate.
4d Ultrasound takes multiple 2-dimensional ultrasound images, creates a 3-dimensional image and then does this repeatedly so that, over time, you can see the movements of the fetus in three dimensions.
The fourth dimension is time.
So you can see live movements of your baby in-utero, like a video.
Three-dimensional imaging provides several important benefits over 2d imaging, but it does not replace 2d ultrasound.
Surface rendering with 3d provides beautiful images of the surface of the face, tummy or spine.
It can show up problems like a cleft lip, an abdominal hernia or a spina bifida with amazing clarity.
Therefore, the parents can recognise what the doctor is worried about.
The surgeons also appreciate the better view and find it easier to advise the parents about the likely outcome for the baby.
This 36 week bub was grabbing its toes!
While we are happy to do 3d and 4d scanning for you, we believe that it is also important that we find out if there are any problems with the baby first.
Therefore, all of our sonographers are fully qualified in ultrasound, with special skills and training in obstetric ultrasound.
We always do a comprehensive assessment of the baby’s growth and well being at the same examination.
Four-dimensional imaging enables us to watch fetal behaviour, and see the movements or lack of movements at fetal joints.
This will have benefits when trying to classify joint and skeletal problems like club foot.
Of course four-dimensional imaging also allows us to gaze at the baby’s face and see fetal swallowing, fetal breathing and different facial expressions.
Yes. 3d and 4d ultrasound use sound waves, just like ordinary 2d ultrasound.
Numerous studies over several decades, have shown that there is no detrimental effect on the baby from ultrasound.
Not to our knowledge. Just as adults cannot feel ultrasound waves, or sound waves, it is unlikely that the baby can feel it.
We usually manage to get gorgeous baby photos.
However, the picture is affected a lot by the position of the baby.
If it is head down and facing your spine, we only get to see its back. Sometimes it takes persistence and patience to see the baby when it is facing up.
The best time to get the baby in a good position is from about 24 weeks gestation to 34 weeks gestation.
Also, before the third trimester, most babies have little sub-cutaneous fat. They can look a little bony.

The roar of snowmobile engines will once again fill the air at the oval track at the Gogebic County Fairgrounds in Ironwood, Michigan as U.S.S.A. racing returns January 5-6, 2008.
The â€œSnowmobile Olympusâ€ will once again have top billing as the first race of the season. Not only will high-tech racing machines roar around the track as part of the USSA racing circuit; with the addition of Pro Vintage Racing, sleds from the 1970s and ’80s will again line up to race.
“It’s another community event, and will be held in cooperation with events such as the Superior Sno-X, Copper Peak Hill Climb, and the Eagle River Snowmobile Derby,â€ stated race organizer Don Bertels, noting officials from Eagle River are in full support of bringing USSA oval racing back to the fairgrounds in Ironwood.
For years, the Snowmobile Olympus in Ironwood was slated as the season’s opener. USSA snowmobile racing pulled out of Ironwood in the early 1990s. Races were then held in Bessemer for a couple of seasons. By 1996, USSA racing on the Gogebic Range had come to an end.
USSA Executive Director Ted Otto, who was flagman at those races, said the USSA is excited about bringing the race back to Ironwood. Otto has been working with the USSA for nearly 40 years.
Otto stated, “We raced there for years and years and years. It was always the season’s opener in the early days. We always looked forward to going to Ironwood, and we are very happy that people are going to bring it back.”
Otto said the Gogebic Range lends itself to early racing. “It’s a good place to start our season and the people have always been supportive of snowmobile racing,” he said. “That makes it really good. The drivers will be very excited about coming back to the Ironwood area.”
Otto reminisced about some of the drivers, and said a Legends Race is possible. He said event organizers and the USSA would like to bring back some of the big names from the “heydays” of the Ironwood Olympus — including Jacques Villeneuve, Steve Ave, brothers Jeff and Greg Goodwin, and the Trapp brothers, etc.
He said they hope to “bring back the stars of yesterday. We hope to bring back everyone that was ever there, including drivers that raced in the junior classes.”
When USSA returns to the fairgrounds, some of the racers will have already raced in Ironwood. Some will be newcomers to the track, made up of the younger generation whose fathers raced in Ironwood, Otto said.
USSA families are very aware of Ironwood and the activities that took place at that track, Otto said. “The track was always very good.”
Charlie Goodwin, father of the Goodwin brothers, is excited about bringing USSA racing back to the fairgrounds. “It’s absolutely superb. It was always great racing in Ironwood.”
Goodwin said he isn’t sure if either Greg, now 51, or Jeff, 44, would mount their racing sleds again.
Community support for bringing USSA racing back to Ironwood has been excellent, Bertels said. “We will depend on a group of volunteers, as in past events, and sponsors of this first race of the season will also be a very big part of the event.”
Bertels said the fairgrounds is a beautiful facility. “The success of the Olympus will allow us to continue with improvements.”
