Is NaNoWriMo right for you?
It’s almost the end of October, and as a writer, you’ve probably been seeing words like Preptober and NaNoWriMo all over your social media lately. Yep, it’s almost that time of year again—the time when writers race to finish a 50,000-word novel by the end of November. The question is, should you participate? Is NaNoWriMo right for you?
What is NaNoWriMo?
For the as-yet uninitiated, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month, an annual writing event during which writers try to finish a 50,000-word novel in 30 days. The organization itself is a nonprofit that supports education and writing fluency programs.
The goal of NaNoWriMo, besides writing the 50,000 words, is to give writers a structured event and a community to prompt their creativity, push past perfectionism, and finally make the dream of writing a novel come true. Hundreds of thousands of writers participate each year.
There are a lot of great things about NaNoWriMo. Obviously, if there weren’t, so many people wouldn’t join in each year! Here are the top benefits of joining:
It encourages you to prioritize writing. NaNoWriMo is all about making writing your top priority for a whole month. It’s easy to push writing to the bottom of the to-do list when there’s so much else going on in your life, but a structured event with a specific timeframe gives you an excuse, a permission slip, to put your writing first for a while.
It breaks your established writing habits. For most, NaNoWriMo is a huge disruption in their usual daily routine, and it turns out that disruptions often lead to creative sparks! Approaching writing in a different way can knock loose some of those mental blocks that are holding you back, allowing you to create in new ways.
It provides you with a community. With hundreds of thousands of people all striving for the same goal, it’s easy to feel like you’re part of something bigger. Writing at most times is a very solitary activity, even lonely, but NaNoWriMo makes it social. With write-a-thons and write-ins and word sprints and online writing retreats, you’re able to meet up with people doing the exact same thing you’re doing and get encouragement and commiseration in a way you’re hard pressed to get the rest of the year.
However, that doesn't mean that NaNoWriMo is the best thing for everyone, or even works for everyone. It can have some downsides to it as well.
It can lead to burnout. Doing NaNoWriMo, during which you’ll need to write 1,667 words every day for thirty days to finish, can be far too much to maintain a healthy relationship with writing. This is especially true for you writers out there who are naturally slower drafters. Pushing yourself really hard for one month may not be the key to completing your personal writing goals.
It can lower your confidence. If you’re struggling to make the 50k, but the writers you’ve surrounded yourself with are flying through it, it takes a lot of mental fortitude not to see yourself as inadequate.
It can add stress to your life. If making the 50,000-word mark is going to be a big strain, then NaNoWriMo can feel like a huge stressor rather than a fun way to get that draft down on paper. It’s a lot of words to write in a month, and it’s especially a lot to add to an already packed schedule.
NaNoWriMo novels are messy and badly written.
I mean, any quick-drafted first draft is going to be pretty messy—that’s true enough. However, that doesn’t mean the later drafts are equally as messy. That’s what revision’s for. (Here’s a list of books whose first drafts were written during NaNoWriMo. I haven’t read all of these, but none of the ones on the list that I have read were badly written or messy, at least in my opinion!)
Agents/publishers always turn down NaNoWriMo novels.
It’s true that a lot of novels written during NaNoWriMo get turned down by agents and publishers. But then again, so do a lot of books in general. The reason a lot of NaNoWriMo novels in particular get turned down is because some writers mistakenly believe that the first draft they completed in November can find an agent in December with no revisions, no self-editing, no beta feedback, and no rewriting at all. That, of course, is not the case, as it’s not the case with any first draft.
So, should you participate in NaNoWriMo?
If you struggle with your inner editor, are looking for a community of writers like yourself, and like (or at least want to try) fast drafting, then NaNoWriMo is right up your alley, and you should go for it! There are no penalties for not getting to 50,000 words, and you’ll probably end up writing more in a month than you typically do at any other time!
However, if you’re a proven slow drafter, you struggle with comparisonitis, or you just have so much going on at home or work that there’s no way you could make the time, then I say skip NaNoWriMo, at least for this year. There’s no reason to add extra stress to your life or try to force yourself to do something that’s not even possible.
An in-between option is to be a NaNo rebel. Typically, NaNoWriMo participants write 50,000 new words in a new novel, starting November 1. However, lots of writers rebel against this and either revise their already written novels, add 50,000 words to a novel they’ve already started, start writing a bit early or keep going beyond November 30, or just go for a different (often lower) wordcount altogether! You can still get the community aspects of NaNoWriMo without being a fully rule-compliant participant.
Personally, I’ve attempted NaNoWriMo twice and never made the 50,000-word mark myself. But this year, I’m giving it one last valiant try before writing it off (heh) as not for me.
What about you? Are you going to do NaNoWriMo this year? If you are, or if you just want to see how it’s going for me this November, come follow me on Instagram! I’ll be posting daily wordcount progress updates in my stories and sharing other fun and/or helpful NaNoWriMo content over there. I’d love to support your progress, too!

Nurses at Klo Djerkiti Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) Compound have been battling venomous snakes and other reptiles at the facility due to darkness as a result of lack of electricity in the community.
The Senior Community Health Nurse in Charge of the facility Salomey Okpoti recounted to Starr News that countless times she had to call for help of residents to kill reptiles which dangerously invade the facility at night.
Recently, the Nurse was nearly bitten by a snake that hid under the seat of a motorbike they use at the facility.
“Most of the times snakes just came in here. There was a time we saw one on our motorbike we were just trying to wash it when we Saw the snake in the boot so we even have to screen for Community members to help us kill the snake .There was another time another green snake was entering the room .Even in the rooms we’ve had series of scorpion bites. Myself scorpion has bitten me and my colleague as well because of the darkness”.
Klo Djerkity CHPS compound was constructed through advocacy by SEND GHANA, an NGO, under its “People for Health Project”, in 2019 and furnished by US Embassy. The facility currently manned by two Nurses provide primary health Care to more than ten (10) farming communities .
Due to lack of electricity in the area, Nurses at the CHPS compound struggle to attend to patients at night while refrigeration of essential medicines become a mirage .
“Due to the lack of electricity here we use solar torch lights to take care of patients at night. For drugs that need refrigeration we have to send it to another health facility in a different Community very far from here. So in fact we need electricity here even charging of mobile phones and other gadgets we have to send to that same community”
Klo Djerkity,Oborpa West, Trawa, Abobeng ,Oborpa Dornguam ,Abobeng ,Oborpa East, Ogornya,Akortor and over 30 other farming Communities in the area have not been connected to the national grid despite incessant agitation by residents.
A rural electrification project which started in 2016 has been abandoned. Whereas electricity poles and stringing of transmission lines have been completed at Oborpah Community awaiting transformer to be fixed, electricity poles transported to the rest of the communities almost four years now have been left under the mercy of the weather.
Dademantse of Klo Djerkity Moses Tetteh Padi told Starr News ” electricity poles were brought to this Community ,they told us to dig the holes which we did but they didn’t erect the poles,there is no electricity here so we are saying no light no vote we will not vote in this Community”
The Dademantse of Oborpah Community Agbertey Tetteh said , the Communities have been without power since its existence despite strands of high voltage lines that pass over to distribute electricity to other communities.

The opinion of the court was delivered by: MCLAUGHLIN
This is an action for confirmation of an arbitration award, for damages caused by wrongful dismissal in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, and for damages arising from unfair representation by the defendant union. The record reflects that only the Board of Education and the Community School Board have been served.
They now move to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds.
Plaintiff, a teacher, was employed by the Board of Education (the "Board") in a school supervised by Community School Board No. 9 from 1971 until June 1975. She received tenure in 1973. In September 1975, her union, the United Federation of Teachers (the "Union"), went out on strike. At that time, a striking public school teacher could be penalized under New York's Taylor Law. See N.Y. Civil Service Law § 210(2)(f) (McKinney's 1975).
Two months later, plaintiff, and other teachers who participated in the strike, were stripped of tenure and were put on one year's probation, pursuant to N.Y. Civil Service Law § 210(2)(f). Nevertheless, she was allowed to continue as a teacher and in June 1976, she received a satisfactory rating for her performance during the period from November 1975 through June 1976. In November, 1976, plaintiff and other similarly situated teachers were fired without a hearing.
The Union then filed a grievance on behalf of these teachers, claiming that Article 21-C-2
of the collective bargaining agreement between the Board and the Union required that the probationary teachers be given a hearing, prior to their discontinuance as provided by section 2590-j 7
of the Education Law. Eventually, the Union demanded arbitration of that issue. The Board sought to stay arbitration, but this was eventually denied by the New York Court of Appeals.
The arbitration was held and, on January 15, 1980, the arbitrator issued the following award:
The Board is hereby directed to reinstate the grievants to the positions and status held as of the time they were notified of the discontinuance of their services, without any loss of seniority. If the Board adheres to the decision that the services of the grievants, who had been on one year Taylor Act probation, or any of them, should be discontinued it shall so notify the grievants or particular grievants, and the Union, and shall duly inaugurate the review procedures under Section 2590-j-7 of the Education Law.
The Board is directed, furthermore, to make whole any grievant who regains her or his tenure after the above procedures have been complied with or waived, by compensating her or him for the difference between what she or he has earned since her or his services were discontinued and what she or he would have earned had she or he been retained in service up to the time she or he regains tenure.
The arbitrator retains jurisdiction should any issue arise with respect to the remedy above provided.
The Board notified the plaintiff in June, 1980 that she was reinstated, but immediately fired her again, without pay, pending a review. Hearing procedures were drawn up specifically for the discharged teachers that differed in several ways from those provided in section 2590-j 7. On February 17, 1981, the Board notified the plaintiff that her discontinuance hearing would be held on March 11 and 12. Meanwhile, a dispute arose as to what hearing procedures would be used, i.e., those enumerated in section 2590-j 7 or those specifically drawn up for the discharged teachers, and the propriety of the Board's procedure of reinstating then summarily firing the teachers pending the review. In February 1981, in Schachter v. Community School Board District 24, N.Y.L.J., February 19, 1981 (N.Y.Co.Sup.Ct. August 16, 1981), the court ruled essentially that the section 2590-j 7 procedures should be used. Plaintiff then requested a postponement of her hearing pending appeal of the Schachter decision.
Finally, on October 14, 1981, the arbitrator issued a supplementary opinion and award, ordering the immediate reinstatement of the teachers, pending review, which provided in relevant part:
The reinstatement and back pay provisions of the award required the Board to reinstate all eligible grievants forthwith to the positions and status they held as of the time they were notified of the discontinuance of their services as of November 30, 1976. The matter of their entitlement to back pay from the date of dismissal to the date of their reinstatement was left open subject to the resolution that would follow of whether, after the appropriate procedures were complied with, their tenure was restored as of the date of their dismissal. Any eligible grievant who is unsuccessful in the Section 2590-j-7 hearing and/or in the pursuit of legal remedies outside of the collective bargaining agreement, will have no further rights against the Board. However, in conformity with the award the eligible grievants should have been immediately restored to the payroll awaiting the outcome of the appropriate Section 2590-j-7 hearing, if any, to be scheduled by the Board.
This obligation by the Board to compensate the eligible grievants for the period commencing with the issuance of the award on January 15, 1980 is independent of the determination of whether they or any of them are entitled to back pay for the period between the date of their dismissal and the date of the award on January 15, 1980. That question, as indicated above, will be resolved either as a result of the successful outcome for the grievants of the Section 2590-j-7 hearings, if held, or the waiver or other legal annulment of such hearings, in either of which events back pay shall be granted to the date of dismissal.
On April 2, 1982, this Court received a letter from counsel for the Board that it "intends to return plaintiff, Ms. Gibbons, to an active assignment and to pay her back pay, less any appropriate set-offs, from January 15, 1980, the date of the arbitrator's first award, until the present." Thus, the only relief still requested by plaintiff is her back pay prior to January 15, 1980 and $ 10,000 from defendant Union for mental suffering.
With respect to the outstanding claim for back pay, the arbitrator's supplementary opinion and award of October 14, 1981 makes clear that her right to it will depend upon the outcome of her section 2590-j 7 hearing.

News — 6 Dec 2011
The spectacular facade of the new Stedelijk was unveiled last week! The futuristically shaped building, designed by BenthemCrouwel Architects, is clad in Twaron, a material sponsored by the Japanese company Teijin Aramid. Twaron is used in aircraft, ships and bulletproof vests, but this represents the first time it has been used in an architectural context. The facade is one hundred meters wide and very light; it is half the weight of a typical wall.

- State brought in nearly $73.5m in the first seven months of 2015
- Colorado on pace to take in $125m, compared to just $44m last year
Legal marijuana tax revenues have been breaking records in Colorado this summer, nearly doubling monthly numbers from last year and on pace to exceed projections of legal sales that bring revenue back to the state.
Through the first seven months of this year, Colorado has brought in nearly$73.5m, putting the state on pace to collect over $125m for the year.
In 2014, experts predicted legal cannabis would bring in upwards of $70m to the state’s tax coffers. In reality, the state collected just $44m in marijuana taxes.

Nigerian singer Mayorkun has ordered senators to fix roads instead of buying new SUVs. This comes after the Nigerian senate justified the purchase of luxury vehicles for its members, saying ministers have more than 3 SUVs, among other reasons.
Mayorkun took to Twitter to express his displeasure with the Senate’s decision, writing, “Fix our roads instead of buying new SUVs.”
His tweet has since gone viral, with many Nigerians expressing their support for his call.
“Mayorkun is right,” one Twitter user wrote. “Our roads are terrible. It’s a shame that our senators are more interested in buying new SUVs than fixing the roads that we all have to use.”
“I’m so tired of our senators wasting our money,” another Twitter user wrote. “They need to start prioritizing the needs of the people.”
The Senate’s decision to purchase new SUVs has been met with widespread public condemnation. Many Nigerians believe that the money could be better spent on other priorities, such as fixing roads, improving education, and providing healthcare.

After a few minutes of careful thought (or lack thereof), I realized that an EF mount is almost the exact same diameter as a scoop of ice cream, thus making it a perfect cone substitute. Of course I had no intention of turning a camera body into a dairy infected brick, either. That made step one selecting my most expendable body, which in a collection consisting of a 5D, 50D, and 20D (review), was obviously the 20D. Next up was finding a way to ensure the camera would still be easy to clean and usable afterwards, yet still allow the ice cream to sit inside the lens mount. After raiding the kitchen I ended up with a few materials that would do the trick:
Seen above are the 20D, some plastic wrap, a cut-out of a styrofoam cup, the bottom of a clear plastic cup, some Q-Tips, an ice cream scoop, and obviously the ice cream. The wrap was used to cover the electrical contacts and tuck underneath the mount itself to add a moisture seal. Next up was the bottom of the styrofoam cup to give a firm seal over the mirror box, which when combined with the plastic more or less guaranteed nothing could leak into there. Finally, the bottom of the plastic cup, which still had a couple mm of its lip left intact were placed overtop of the other two layers. So prior to being scooped, the setup looked like below, which is labelled for convenience.
For obvious reasons, I started setting up my gear to take shots of the...whatever you'd call this prior to filling it with dairy goodness. I used a Minolta MD 50mm f/1.4 lens mounted (by way of an adaptor/extension tube) onto my 50D, which sat atop a Gorillapod SLR-Zoom. Luckily I was in room that was made mostly of windows, so I didn't need to use any kind of external lighting - something that's a pain at near-macro focusing distance.
The setup - complete with poor choice of focal points
With all the setup done, it was time to add a single scoop of heavenly hash into an ageing camera. Remember at the beginning how I mentioned there was a heat wave? Well, I sure didn't, since I forgot a fairly important step that I had planned to do: refrigerate the 20D for a few minutes in order to cool it down. Thanks to this, the instant I emptied the scoop into the camera, it instantly became a snowball in hell (oh, the wonders of conduction) so I didn't have too long to photographically document it thanks to the rapid melting. Sadly I hadn't really planned my composition at all, forcing me to scramble with different angles to see what worked. Early attempts looked pretty crappy, but in under a minute I had found something pleasing. Thankfully the results ended up decent before I had to 'remove' the ice cream from its new-found container.
Don't eat the cone - I tried
After a rather hurried consumption of the contents, next up came the fun part. Actually it was far more painless that I thought. Most of what was left behind came out when I took out the plastic wrap, and the leftovers were fairly quickly removed with a single serviette and two Q-tips. Aside from the mount of my 20D smelling like chocolate to this day (5 months later), the body emerged unscathed. I would end this with a don't try this at home disclaimer, but frankly I'd enjoy hearing about any failed future attempts. I'll leave you with what it looks like after removing the clear plastic cup.
In my defense, it seemed like a stupid idea at the time.

Lord Hylton: It seems to me that the amendments which the noble Lord, Lord Dubs, has moved and spoken to are better, more comprehensive and more far-reaching than my amendments to which we shall come shortly. For those reasons, I support them.
Baroness Blatch: I should perhaps start with a technical point. I am sure that Amendment No. 134 seeks to alter paragraph 16(1) of Schedule 2 of the 1971 Act. Although the amendment actually refers to paragraph 16(1) of "Schedule 1" of the 1971 Act, that must be a drafting error because Schedule 1 did not contain 16 paragraphs and was, in any case, repealed by the British Nationality Act 1981. The amendment makes sense only if "Schedule 1" is read as "Schedule 2" to the 1971 Act, as was pointed out by the Deputy Chairman of Committees.
I turn now to the comments made by the noble Lord, Lord Dubs, about his visit to Campsfield House. I can only say that the noble Lord cannot have availed himself of the stream of information that is given out there routinely on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. There is nobody there who does not know what they are doing there, why they are there and what they can expect to happen next. I can tell the noble Lord that great efforts are systematically made to keep the people there well informed, including in their own language. They are seen regularly by senior members of the Immigration Service as well as routinely on a daily basis by other officials. I believe that it does the officials and the service a discredit simply to say that there are people there who from week to week do not know what is happening to them.
The intention behind this pair of amendments is fundamentally to alter the existing arrangements for the release from detention of passengers who seek to enter the United Kingdom. Currently a passenger who may be required to submit to examination by an immigration officer may be detained on the authority of the immigration officer pending examination or a decision on whether to grant or refuse him leave to enter. Once seven days have elapsed from the date of his arrival in the United Kingdom, it is open to the detained passenger to apply to an adjudicator for release on bail. If accepted, these amendments would turn the current arrangements on their head. Instead of the detained applicant seeking bail from an adjudicator, the immigration officer, after the passage of seven days, would have to seek an adjudicator's authority to maintain detention.
Decisions to detain are not taken lightly and are subject to regular review by the Immigration Service. Requiring an immigration officer to seek the authority of an adjudicator to maintain detention would undermine the integrity of the on-entry control and would create a bureaucratic and inefficient system. Such a system would place extra burdens on the Immigration Service and the already hard-pressed appellate authority without producing any obvious benefits.
The bail system currently in operation for those detained under powers in the 1971 Act clearly sets out the arrangements for seeking and granting bail and the responsibilities of the various parties to the system such as the adjudicator and immigration officer. The change proposed by Amendment No. 137A removes this clarity and replaces it with a void--absolutely nothing. Are we to understand that once an immigration officer has successfully argued in front of an adjudicator that detention should be maintained that is the end of the matter? The detainee's right to seek bail would have been removed, and in a long running on-entry case it is possible to imagine a passenger remaining in detention for a very long time without access to any kind of independent review if this change is accepted.
It seems very strange that a change of this type is being proposed when measures have been included in this Bill to ensure that in future everyone detained under powers in the 1971 Act will have the right to apply for bail. We were conscious that small sub-sets of people had previously been denied the right to apply for bail because of the circumstances or position of their cases. But we have now taken the opportunity in this Bill to ensure that in future anyone detained under powers in the 1971 Act will be able to seek bail. For those reasons--not simply because the amendments are flawed--I hope that the Committee will not accept them.
Lord Dubs: I regret that there is a technical flaw in the amendments, for which I apologise to the Committee. But, having said that, I am sorry that the Minister has taken the attitude that she has. I did not seek to criticise the staff at Campsfield House. I am aware of the trouble to which they have gone to try to inform the people detained there. I went there some time ago. Despite all the trouble to which the staff went to inform those detained there--after all, it is a prison surrounded by barbed wire 12 or 16 feet high--the people were bewildered.
I refer the Minister to the recent report by Judge Tumin, Her Majesty's Inspector of Prisons. He specifically criticised the lack of information at Campsfield regarding individual cases and the legal position in general. I did not make that precise criticism. I said that in Campsfield House and the other place where people were detained there were bewildered individuals. The Minister appears to be sceptical. Perhaps she would care to go there, if she has not been recently, to find out for herself.
However, the key point is the liberty of individuals. The Minister has said that these amendments would drive a coach and horses through the procedures. I cannot understand that attitude. One is talking of denying liberty to people against whom there are no criminal charges. As a country are we to continue to do that? Over the past two or three years people to whom I have spoken in various European countries are appalled by this policy. People are appalled that this country, which is supposed to be the bastion of liberty, should say, "Never mind, some official can keep you locked up, and that's it".
The Bill may improve somewhat the scope for bail, but I repeat, if the limit is set at £2,000--it often is--that is meaningless to people who do not have that sort of money. Bail does not mean anything if the amount of money that has to be raised to achieve one's liberty is so large that it is beyond reach. It is meaningless. No matter that there are procedures, and that this is important, the liberty of the individual has surely to count for something. I had a meeting about this matter some years ago with the Immigration Minister when I was at the Refugee Council. I tried to persuade him that the system in Scotland, where the amounts required as a condition for bail are normally set at a low level, could be applied to England and Wales. I was told that that was not possible for some reason.
Let me now run the risk of repeating myself. We are talking about the liberty of individuals who have not committed any offence. All the Minister's arguments against that proposition are secondary. If this country does not believe in the liberty of individuals, what in heaven's name do we believe in?
The Lord Bishop of Liverpool: I wonder whether I may ask the Minister to explain something. She said at one point that the amendment would create a bureaucratic system. I think I listened carefully to what she said. My understanding was that the present proposals of the Bill are that the decisions are all taken by officials. Is not that a bureaucratic system? I understood that the amendment was seeking that there should be recourse to a court if someone's liberty is taken away and--the point has properly been made--no criminal charge is brought.
Baroness Blatch: We are saying that it can be dealt with simply. We have given the right of appeal to all people detained under the Act, which is something that we had hoped might have been welcomed by the right reverend Prelate and others in the Chamber. Secondly, the matter can be dealt with by a senior immigration official. Under the amendment, there would have to be an application to the adjudicator, the case would have to be made, there would have to be consideration of that case, and it would be bureaucratic and cause delay.
Baroness Blatch: I am certainly saying that. I am saying that it is simpler, it is fair, and it is not bureaucratic. To accept the amendment would add considerably to the bureaucratic procedures, given that an adjudicator rather than a senior immigration official would have to take the decision.

Two meals out in one weekend - opinions please...
I'm going here on Saturday... http://media.freeola.com/other/21646...menujuly13.pdf
I think either Mushroom & Tomato Linguine (and count syns for parmesan and sun-dried tomatoes) or Nicoise Salad with added tuna as long as it's not in oil (and count syns for salad dressing and olives & pick out the sun-dried tomatoes)
This is the menu for Sunday. Shame its not Saturday as they do good omelette or jacket potatoes with salad then, but a restricted sunday menu. I think the roast dinner is the only viable option here for Sunday lunchtime.... Sunday Menu - Menu - The Fox, Aspenden.
Advice or ideas gratefully received!!
On Saturday the Gammon can be served with baby potatoes or jacket, just get it without the fried eggs and it's syn free.
On Sunday you also have the option of the chilli, which ahs it's served with rice or a jacket shouldn't be too many Syns.
I was just a bit worried that the gammon might be fried in oil if they're frying the eggs. Missed the chilli though - I like chilli as well
Both places everyday lunchtime menus are fine, so I was a bit put out to see the evening / sunday lunch ones are different / not so SW friendly. I'm not drinking alcohol though so can use my Syns for the day on my meals, so hopefully as long as I stick with the 'better' options I should be safe.
Oooo just spotted another alternative for today's menu..
Parma ham salad £4.95 : Parma ham with baby gem lettuce, broad beans, pea shoots & a balsamic reduction
So, I know that Parma Ham is 0.5 syns per slice. Lettuce, beans and pea shoots syn free. I've looked at lots of recipes for making a Balsamic reduction and it seems to be just balsamic vinegar and herbs and garlic. Certainly no oil seen in any of them. HOWEVER, if they use a standard Balsamic Dressing (which as they're a chips-with-everything pub, they probably will) then that's 3 syns per tablespoon, so think I'll syn it as that to be on the safe side, especially as I'm eating out again tomorrow!

text: Elbasan Library. This is from the newspaper owned by Lef Nosi before and after the independence of Albania. This is an obituary of the death of Aubrey Herbert who gave so much to the cause of Independence of Albania. His contribution is well known to me. Curiosity about the correspondence Aubrey had with Lef Nosi prompted me to browse these old newspapers. The moment that I noticed this article I was very thrilled. I was in the company of an Englishman in the bookstore where I had to translate the content and during the translation I couldn’t stop the tears running down my face. I felt as if I’d gone back in time and experienced the death of this real gentleman as if it had happened that day! This noble man spent days, months, at different times in Albania and Kosovo with prominent people from 1908 until he left this world. He went to Kosovo – where he met Isa Boletin – to northern Albania where he met Ded Gjo Lulin in Shkoder, and Elbasan in 1913 where he met Lef Nosin. He also went to Vlora and Tirana. On 21 February 1920 in London he went to lunch with Lef Nosin, Mehmet Konitza and Sadik Tirana. They discussed the problem of the invasion of Durres by the Italians. They suggested that there might be an attack on the Italians to Aubrey. He responded: ‘ You fought the Turks and won the war but your neighbours didn’t thank you for that. The Balkans are killing and eating you up”. If you attack the Italians you may win but you will end up in the same position. At the end of February 1920 America insisted that information about the Adriatic was publicised as President Wilson did not agree with the Anglo-French plan for the partition of Albania (This account comes from “Albania’s Greatest Friend”).

I have, unfortunately, never read the books that inspired the movie until now. My dad apparently missed these for me in his reading assignments when I was a kid which is a bummer because I can guarantee I liked this book better than Have Space Suit, Will Travel. I, Robot, is according to my dad, a compilation of short stories Asimov published in science fiction magazines in the 1950s and 1960s as he developed the three laws of robotics for the trilogy they would eventually star in. The short stories are threaded together as memories that Gloria Calvin, lauded robopsychologist, is sharing as part of a press interview on her retirement from U.S. Robots. They track the earliest developments in robotics as the machines grew and came across dilemmas with the Three Laws and their functions.
|I actually had the movie tie-in cover but|
this is cooler.
I like Asimov's writing style though he can be over my head. A lot of his writing is technical; he is trying to rationally explain science in a fictional context where it may or may not actually be possible in the real world. That said, with the Robot series, over what I saw in the Foundation trilogy, there is a lot more psychology than science. This is of course because the main question is when is a robot more like a human? When is a robot actually a better version of a human? Is there a way to actually tell the difference between them at that point? Lots of cool questions and I loved all the different dilemmas that came up in these stories to explore them.
The secondary characters of Mike Donovan and Greg Powell, who were technicians on the front lines of testing new robots, were funny and often in the weirdest situations: one robot decided he was a Prophet for the machine, another ended up in a dilemma loop which meant he was a drunk robot, yet another time they were the butt of a robot's practical joke as it dealt with a dilemma with the Laws. These were easy to like characters that got at the problem in the story, less so the science which made the science in turn, approachable. A dilemma with one of the Laws is essentially a logic problem and I don't know about you, but that was not my strong suit in math class. However, through these two laymen type characters, I was able to follow and enjoy and try to puzzle out the problem along with them. I did like the stories where Gloria Calvin was also the main person struggling with the robots to figure out the dilemma but the character herself was much more contained and Asimov used that to hold back information, making it harder to puzzle alongside her. She's pretty prickly in general so it's actually a neat way to use the character as a tone for the storytelling.
I liked these stories, I liked being able to explore the Three Laws more and also look into the world that helped develop them. The movie has its place (I like it though I know it was not as popular as hoped) but I always like checking out the origin stories. Gives you a different way to look at a world and a a story you thought you knew.

Announced earlier this year, the MINI Clubman and MINI Countryman models in JCW guise are getting a new engine for the 2020 model year. This will be the most powerful 2-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine BMW ever put into production cars and it’s bound to transform the largest cars MINI ever made. They were offered in John Cooper Works guise before but now they get a much-deserved bump in power output.
As you may very well know, the new JCW engine has 300 HP coming out of the small, turbocharged 2-liter mill. 332 lb-ft of torque are accompanying it.
All of that power and twist is being sent to all four corners of the car via the ALL4 all-wheel drive transmission and an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Those two will help these cars reach eye-watering speeds in no time. Actually, in some time, 4.9 and 5.1 seconds respectively for the Countryman, to be more precise.
MINI launched a new marketing campaign to emphasize just how fast the new models are, They focus mostly on the speed and sharp character of the two, highlighting what’s supposed to be a very engaging experience behind the wheel. Everything’s covered, from pitting them against each other to expressing exactly how you feel while waiting at the red light.
The new cars don’t only feature new engines. They also have a different cooling system to handle the extra power along with a new exhaust and bigger John Cooper Works brakes. Furthermore, even the chassis was modified to some extent, to better cope with the new performance levels.
All of that combines to help create some of the most exciting MINI products ever made. Does all of that transpire through the videos below, though? Judge for yourself.


Not a good day
There are days when everything goes smoothly and one makes progress. There are days that are long and difficult but the achievement is worth it. There are days that are long and difficult when nothing is achieved but hopefully something learned. Then, there are the the days that are long and difficult and when one ends up going backwards: having more work to do at the end of the day than at the beginning. You know… the sort of day one should not get out of bed for.
Refitting my left side rear suspension was such a day.
The short version of this story is the rear hub carrier (red) is 65.5mm wide at the top so let’s say clearance requires 66mm. The gap between the new outer bushes (yellow) installed in the renovated wishbone (blue) is 63mm. So either the wishbone gap is too narrow or the bearings are too wide. Or a combination of the two.
3 days later and I’m still cursing. Not only is this too big a difference to force, the outer bearings are already a pain to fit since they comprise multiple parts held together only by the rubber seals. Trying to force the bearing where it does not fit, simply causes the bearing components to fall apart. I think you can guess the long version – same story with lots of swearing and yelling and frustration.
Given that this wishbone was attached to this hub carrier and neither the wishbone nor the hub carrier had been changed, I first compared the old bushes to the new ones from Superformance. Maybe there was a difference…
The new ones were visibly thicker. ********! Then I compared the upper wishbone with the lower wishbone. The upper wishbone gap was indeed a couple of mm less than the lower gap. ******** again! Why didn’t I check this BEFORE I restored the wishbone and pressed in the bushings.
Finally, I checked the gap between the arms of the wishbone (so ignoring the bearings) of the left upper wishbone with the right upper wishbone. Left gap 87mm, right gap 90mm. There is the problem, the gap should be the same. ******** yet again!
So while the Superformance bearings are a little thicker than the stock bearings making any fitment more difficult, the real issue is that my left upper wishbone has been squeezed at some point and I did not realize it until now.
I guess I will need to stretch the wishbone 3mm or replace it. To be continued…

I often land fish as a result of trolling a lure on the way to or back from a kayak fishing trip, and in most case in the unlikely of spots. This is how I have come to applying the technique of trolling hard body lures for snapper in shallow water. This trip with Stephen Tapp in Whangarei, we had spent a long successful day on the water from 6am till 3pm hunting down schools of snapper out as far as 5km off in 50+m of water, our fish bins full we headed home.
(Trolling close the the weed edge, on average it was 11m deep here, most places I troll lures at my local spots the depth is no more the 3-4m)
Once closer to the coastline I set my Lively Lure “blue pillie” deep water hard body (this one dives to 4+m) I paddled along the edge of the reef structure keeping an eye on my Lowrance Elite 5HDI for any sign lurking in the weed and to avoid any potential snags as this lure dives a little deeper than the others I usually use for snapper in the shallows.
(the nice snapper took off like a rocket when it hit my lure, it had such power I thought I was dealing with a Kingfish or a large Kahawai..shallow water snapper really have some fight so you have to respond quick to stop them running you into the weed or reef)
Not long after trolling along this edge my lure was hit and began peeling line fast making me think I had hooked a Kingfish or Kahawai, my line and shimano reel are are pretty heavy for this kind of work so as to have the gear that will stop a hard fighting shallow water snapper from losing you in the reef or weed. after a short but powerful fight I was excited to see a nice snapper had taken the Lively Lure & was well hooked on the last of the 3 trebles..est this one to be a 50-55cm fish.
(Swimming the snapper before release, secured using the Fish Grips from Yak-Gear)
With My Chill Pod already full of my 7 snapper quota, this snapper was returned to the water after a few pics thanks to Stephen Tapp. If you have not tried trolling lures for snapper then I highly recommend it, its very exciting when you hook up to a snapper using this technique..you can read some tips and advice on targeting snapper on hard bodies in Stephen Tapps article on the Viking Kayaks Page (see link to the article at the end of this report)
My tips for trolling for hard bodies
1- Get a sounder to make sure you are in the ideal spot to target a snapper in the shallow weed and reef edges and have matched the right depth to suit the bibbed lure.. this will also avoid losing lures to snags, losing them is both expensive and not so kind on the environment. I am using the Elite 5 HDI sounder from Lowrance on my Viking Profish Reload and the Elite 4 HDI on my Profish 400, these are both great sounders for kayaks
2 – Have a selection of lures to choose from.. I have a variety of lures to choose from depending on the depth and the lighting or visibility of the water. Lively Lures have a very large range, my preference so far has been the Blue Pille lures but I would like to trial many of the others they offer. find out more and buy online HERE
3 – Crush the barbs for easy release – a tip I got from Stephen Tapp many years ago when talking treble hooks on kayaks was to crush the barbs or swap the hooks for barbless options.. a couple of key reasons, one if you are planing to release the fish this makes it easier and means you tend to handle the fish less, cause less stress and damage. Two is to make it easier to remove the hooks from anything on the deck they may snag on. You can take that one step further and remove all but the last set of trebles which is not a bad idea considering the lure is likely to end up on your lap at some point in the landing of the fish, I am yet to do this with all of my lures but highly recommend it.
4 – Use a net to land the fish, again this eliminates the possibility of snagging yourself on the lure and reduces the chance of losing the fish at the moment you lift it from the water ..many a good fish has been last at the side of the kayak due to a hook only just in the lip, the final head shake at the side of the kayak or the weight of the fish when lifted buy the leader/trace is enough to release the fish and leave you in despair !
(Bin full of late Autumn snapper a good result from a days fishing)
Read more about Trolling lures for snapper in Stephen Tapps article HERE, a very good read that will see you stocking up on lures!

Ceramic foam filtration for casting is considered a major breakthrough in the aluminum industry and is widely used in semi-continuous casting and continuous casting. The filtering function of ceramic foam filters has been widely used in most aluminum foundries.
In the smelting process of aluminum alloy, non-metallic inclusions are produced due to the unclean material and the influence of the external environment. At the same time, during the casting process, due to the metal turbulence, dripping and splashing caused by the contact of large liquid metal with air, the oxide film formed by the liquid also participates in the aluminum liquid. The inclusions in the molten aluminum break the continuity of the metal. Therefore, it reduces the processing performance and maintainability of aluminum alloy, and affects the casting quality.
The Ceramic foam filter-PZr is made of high-temperature sintered ZrO2 molten material. It can be used under high temperature, high strength, corrosion resistance, and minimum volume change. It can effectively filter out micron-level inclusions in molten aluminum. Mainly used for aviation, transportation and other aluminum alloy precision casting.
The ceramic foam filter immersed in the aluminum melt is tightly plugged with silicic acid cotton. Liquid aluminum can only pass through the serrated holes of the ceramic foam filter. Due to the combined effect of axial pressure, friction, surface adsorption, and chemical forces of liquid flow. The inclusions carried in the aluminum water are firmly retained in the pores of the ceramic foam filter. The surfaces and gaps in the cave are separated from the liquid phase of the metal.
The ceramic foam filtration effect for casting depends on the pore size and thickness of the ceramic foam filter, and the speed at which the aluminum melt passes through the filter. The thicker the ceramic foam filter, the smaller the pore size, the longer the aluminum liquid flows through the ceramic foam filter, and the greater the chance of collision. In addition, the inclusions are retained, and the chance of depositing and adsorbing on the pore wall is greater.
It should be noted that when the speed of the filtrate flowing through the ceramic foam filter is too low, it is not easily absorbed and cannot flow smoothly through the filter pores. When the rate of change is too high, the liquid metal flow will wash away the solid inclusions from the hole wall and may remove them. The optimal flow rate is determined by production practice.

Terracotta floors for a wonderful Villa on the hill in front of the historic Towers of San Giminiano
The dimension of the ancient, for a renovation of this kind, is undoubtedly essential.
Not surprisingly, Villa Iris is obtained from the meticulous restoration of an ancient brick kiln of 1737.
Gabriele, owner and exquisite person, wanted the floor to respect the ancient traditions of handmade terracotta.
Even for the rooms, the choice of this finish was really spot on and in perfect harmony with the furniture and architectural details.
The restorations with authentic and recycled materials are constantly evolving, and in this chaste case it is admirable to see how tradition is combined with contemporary design, for an extraordinary result to say the least.
On the ground floor there is also a well equipped kitchen made with blocks of Carrara marble in perfect combination with the terracotta floors.
The splendid porch was also covered with terracotta tiles in Cotto Antico Buttero Multicolor.

Ghanaian striker, Kwasi Okyere Wriedt scored for Holstein Kiel in the German Bundesliga 2 on Sunday afternoon against giant Hamburg SV.
The Black Stars striker scored the only goal for the home team in their narrow 1-0 victory over the former Bundesliga team to move up on the league table.
Just after 13 minutes of the match, the attacker was set through on goal from Marco Komenda as he found the center of the goal from the left side of the box.
He played 66 mintues of the encounter before he was substituted.
The 27-year-old has three goals in 10 matches for the Blue and Whites outfit since he joined on transfer deadline day from Dutch Eredivisie team Willem II.

ECTOR COUNTY, TX (KWES)
An Ector County man will spend a long time behind bars for a deadly drunk driving crash nearly two years ago.
Carroll Carpenter, 54, was convicted on Friday of murder and intoxication manslaughter.
He will spend 28 years in prison for the murder charge and 13 years for the intoxication manslaughter charge.
They will be served concurrently.
The decision came after a crash that happened back in December of 2013 on West Loop 338.
His pick-up slammed into another pick-up driven by Ruben Gandara, 62.
Gandara and his passenger Paula Sanchez, 71, both died in the accident.
Their bodies were later exhumed as part of the investigation.
Police say Carpenter was going between 79 and 83 miles per hour in a 55 mile per hour zone and say his blood alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit.

It pays to date celebrities, figuratively and literally. The match made in reality TV show heaven of NFL player Chad Ochocinco & Evelyn Lozada are set to earn a nice chunk of cash with their new reality show detailing their pending marriage:
TMZ: Chad Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada have signed their deal to do a “Basketball Wives” spinoff show with VH1 … and they each have 300,000 reasons to celebrate … TMZ has learned.
According to our sources, filming on the new show will begin in the next few weeks, right after taping for ”Wives” ends. We’re told the show will focus on the couple as they get ready to exchange vows this summer.
Our sources say negotiations finally wrapped last week and the two will each take home $300,000 for about two months of work.
As TMZ first reported, when Evelyn re-upped her contract with “Basketball Wives” last year, part of the deal called for VH1 to give her and Chad their own show.
The show should be officially announced this week.
With the divorce rate where it is, and especially among celebrities and/or athletes, these two are marrying for all the right reasons. I give this marriage until a firm 85 days after Ochocinco’s football career is over.

There are several drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers possibilities to individuals living in the Mars region. It is very important understand all the types of rehabilitation possibilities that exist in Mars, AB., in order to select the suitable rehabilitation option for yourself or a family member. Selecting the most appropriate alcohol and drug rehab center in Mars is an essential factor in the treatment of substance abuse, addiction and alcoholism. This information will assist you to understand your various rehab possibilities allowing an individual to have the greatest potential for a successful end result.
Let's examine the different alcohol and drug treatment centers in Mars, Pennsylvania possibilities that correlate with the circumstances of the person seeking rehab.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Mars, AB. can be a rehabilitation choice ideal for many who require medical intervention in the course of rehabilitation or individuals with substantial drug use histories. People can develop mental and physical dependence to drugs even after a short period of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug treatment in Mars is considered the best treatment option in virtually all instances. On account of dependence and addiction, people will usually not be able to make a full recovery using the minimal services offered by outpatient rehab centers in Mars, Pennsylvania where alcohol and drugs continue to be easily obtainable when they leave the outpatient center. In addition, men and women in rehab who receive outpatient rehab as an alternative to inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Mars continue to be prone to detrimental influences and situations that might cut across their process of recovery. If an individual resides with an abusive partner or continues to maintain associations which entail drug abuse, any rehab endeavours in outpatient rehabilitation will be in vain. This is why in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation in Mars, AB. is going to produce more beneficial results which will prove lasting contrary to an outpatient drug rehab facility where advantages are often very limited and acute.
In Mars there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. Short-term is often a 30-day program, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol rehab in Mars, Pennsylvania is more extensive and rehab lasts 3 to 6 months generally speaking. It is deemed an ideal environment for clients because it is a completely drug-free setting where they can recover both physically and mentally without distraction. Ideally, women and men will continue in the long-term in-patient drug rehab center in Mars for the optimum stretch of time permitted, to be able to handle anything which might cut across their sobriety once they leave treatment. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stable can require two to three weeks by itself, the three to six months in long-term in-patient drug rehabilitation in Mars will be time spent well and much more efficient than short-term programs.
The most crucial aspect of all if you or someone you love is struggling with a substance abuse or addiction issue is to do something about it, call someone and seek the advice of skilled addiction specialists and get an evaluation and rehab possibilities to ensure the best chance for a recovery.

Ring-eyed John Hutton had the Malagasy lemur look at PMQs
'Two eyes so ringed and deep set': John Hutton at PMQs this week
One year earlier the Commons had (gullibly) stood to applaud Tony Blair on his last appearance at Prime Minister's Questions.
There had been a sense of Labour euphoria. Freshness. Success, even if it was all a mirage.
That awful ham Blair milked the moment – yeurrgh, thank God he's gone – before sweeping off to Buckingham Palace with his bizarre wife snarling to the last. Oh happy day! Exit Imelda Marcos, kicking and screaming.
But that was a year ago. Seems longer. At yesterday's PMQs, which brought the anniversary up on Gordon Brown's mileometer, all optimism had vanished.
On the Government front bench sat the Business Secretary, John Hutton, with two eyes so ringed and deep set they gave him the look of a Malagasy lemur.
Hazel Blears was wearing a new hairdo. It's big. It's orange. It's the stuff of nightmares.
Mr Brown actually did okay against David Cameron. For the second week running he probably edged the contest.
It is such a surprise when he doesn't get completely flattened that one somehow weights things in his favour, as when a second division team takes on a Chelsea or a Liverpool and manages to squeak a draw and everyone calls it a triumph.
Mr Cameron used up a lot of his questions on Zimbabwe, an area without partisan oomph.
Statesmanship is always a bore for an Opposition leader but it is something that probably has to be done, if only to practise before high office arrives.
But despite Mr Brown's comparative success there was little spontaneous excitement on the Labour benches.
Where were the immediate roars? Where were the slapped knees, the loud laughter, the delighted smiles when Mr Brown managed to return the ball?
Some sort of noise did emanate but there was a time lag. They were not electrified or instant. If we are to use the language of a women's glossy magazine we might say that Labour MPs were faking it.
Communist regimes of the old Iron Curtain countries used to spend a lot of effort monitoring their citizenry. The same can be said of the current Labour Whips. They were busy yesterday.
One of them, Alison Seabeck, was seated in the upstairs gallery opposite the Labour backbenches.
Sister Seabeck is considered something of a glamour puss. She wear her spectacles up in her fringe. She crosses her legs even when sitting in a confined space. She has
lean, possibly cruel fingers.
Yesterday, for almost the entire duration of Prime Minister's Question Time, she peered hard at the Labour MPs from her gallery eyrie, as though seeking out certain malcontents or stooges or trusties and checking their attendance and conduct.

Then she was taking notes, those slender fingers working an efficient ballpoint pen across the paper of a discreet A4 file. Big Sister is watching you.
Was this why the noise of Labour MPs' support came mooing a fraction of a second or so late? I swear I saw dear, dotty old Lyn Brown (Lab, West Ham) throw a hesitant glance up at the beaky figure of the watching Seabeck.
One who seems magisterially unfazed by the Whips is Fiona Mactaggart (Lab, Slough). She kept rising yesterday to catch the Speaker's eye.
She was wearing a vivid T-shirt bearing the emblem and slogan of the Zimbabwean Opposition party. Speaker Martin, who may secretly be a little afraid of the powerfully opinionated Miss Mactaggart, decided against calling her.
At the end of PMQs numerous Labour Whips roamed the fringes of the Chamber, handing out pink forms for delayed Commons votes.
The deputy Chief Whip, Nick Brown, had positioned himself behind the Speaker's Chair and was making a lot of noise.
He thrust a pink form at Miss Mactaggart. She pushed past him, defiant, quite determined not to accept one of his grotty little pieces of paper.
It was the best 'cut' of a Whip I have ever seen. If I were Robert Mugabe I would watch out.

This is week 4 in Sally Russick's 52 weeks of Focusing on Life
Our prompt this week was to make art.
I consider my bead and jewelry making my art. This week I fired my stoneware ceramic beads in some new colors . I was a bit disappointed at first as my kiln did not fire right, perhaps due to the extra draw on the electric grid due to our very cold weather.
After some minor remediation, I have grown to like them very much and have plans to use them in a free form peyote necklace. I was so happy to discover that my copper clay pieces go beautifully with them and that these seed beads will be the perfect backdrop.
You can check out the art that all the others made this week HERE.


This photo provided by Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co. (KSOE) on Tuesday, shows a FPSO built by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., a unit of KSOE. (KSOE)
Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering Co. (KSOE) said Tuesday that it has signed an 850 billion won ($762 million) deal to build an offshore plant.
The deal is a part of a total 2.5 trillion won order to build a FPSO, which was placed by Brazilian state-owned oil firm Petrobras, KSOE said.
FPSO is short for a floating production, storage and offloading vessel, a type of floating tank system used in the offshore oil and gas industry.
The 2.5 trillion won deal was jointly obtained by KSOE and Keppel Shipyard Ltd., a Singaporean shipbuilder, KSOE said.
"Thanks to increasing oil prices, demand for offshore plants has been on the recovery," said KSOE, the subholding company of Hyundai Heavy Industries Holdings Co., in an emailed statement.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Co., a subsidiary of KSOE, will construct the hull of the FPSO, which floats the facilities and storage oil, with the Singaporean shipbuilder building the topside of the FPSO, which produces and refines oil.
Hyundai Heavy Industries will start constructing the hull of the offshore plant in the first half of next year, nine months after designing it.
The facilities will be put together in the seas off Buzios, 210 kilometers southeast of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, in the second half of 2024.
The FPSO, which is 345 meters long, 60 meters high and 34 meters wide, will be able to produce 180,000 barrels of oil and 7.2 million cubic meters of natural gas a day, KSOE said. (Yonhap)
