Demolition of burned meat market to start this month, owners plan to rebuild
The Aynor-Conway Meat Market will rebuild in some form following an overnight fire three months ago, with demolition on the charred building expected to start later this month.
Kenny Barnhill, who owns the business off U.S. 501 near S.C. 22 with his brother, said a meat market selling his signature sausages and steaks and processing deer for hunters will reopen, but no timetable has been set.
Barnhill also is considering adding a small eatery and exploring other development options down the road to make better use of the three-acre site. He's been meeting with engineers about options for what's possible while obtaining demolition permits, working with his insurance company and talking about the logistics of hooking into water and sewer to replace the wells serving the 34-year-old building. He expects to have the needed permits to start demolition this month.
The meat market also might return with a new name to better reflect all the offerings being considered during the rebuild, Barnhill said, though he hadn't yet picked one.
The meat market had operated in that spot at 4980 U.S. 501 for as long as many residents can remember, but came under the ownership of the Barnhill brothers – who were born and raised in the Aynor-Conway area – in March 2010.
"We are coming back; give us time," Barnhill said this week. "We are going to put a meat market there. We want to do it as fast as possible."
Barnhill has been exploring options for the meat market since fire destroyed the building about 3 a.m. Sept. 16, leaving a void for rural residents in the Conway and Aynor area who relied on the market for fresh meat. It also was a go-to spot for hunters needing deer processing. The fire wiped out the business just as the hunting season was gearing up.
Horry County Fire-Rescue couldn't determine a cause of the fire because the damage from the blaze "was such that no additional evidence has been uncovered," Horry County spokeswoman Lisa Bourcier said. Barnhill said the fire was caused by the electrical system in the old building.
Customers, many who are on a first-name basis with the owners, have told Barnhill they have missed the business, a patronage that has given Barnhill a boost to rebuild.
"It does make me more determined. It just kind of recharges you," he said. "You didn't expect something like this to happen."

I am taking part in the Keep Britain Breastfeeding Scavenger Hunt. The Goal of the hunt is to add a little bit of fun and to raise awareness of breastfeeding.
Read my first three blogs of the series Hold me close , Sharing and hugs required to hear all about why I chose to breastfeed, how it is great for mums to support each other and the love and support of family and friends.
My last post is all about breastfeeding beyond the first few weeks. As I have talked about in my earlier posts, breastfeeding was not really a choice for me it was just the most natural thing for me to do. Originally I had planned to breastfeed up until 9 months, when I was originally planning on going back to work but I did say that I would not beat myself up about it if things turned out differently and I had to switch to formula. Sofia is coming up to 9 months and my outlook has now changed due to both work circumstances and the overwhelming emotional attachment I have made with my daughter. As an expectant mum you can prepare as much as you like for the birth of your baby but you are still blown away by the rush of feelings you get running through your body the first time you hold your baby and every time you hold her after that. Breastfeeding has given me and Sofia a bond that I am just not ready to change yet, so I have not intention of giving up at 9 months as originally planned. A part of me would like to get rid of the word ' plan ' altogether and just let nature take it's full course until Sofia is fully self weaned but I am not 100% sure that is what I want to do.
I have recently been made redundant whilst on maternity leave and now have a little bit more freedom to stay off work a little bit longer, extending the amount of time I have with Sofia. Realistically I do need to go back to work once Sofia has turned one, so I am looking to either stop breastfeeding or reduce to evening feeds when I go back to work. I do know that going back to work does not mean I have to stop breastfeeding but this along with a host of other factors, such as wanting a little bit more independence, having more time for me, wanting to buy some nice bras, letting my husband have my boobs back for a bit and hoping to have another baby reasonably soon all make me think it is the right decision for me to stop then. I know that each of these issues can be tacked but as a whole they do lead me to wanting to stop at some point in the near future. I can see that some of the reasons I have mentioned above are a little selfish on my part but as a family I think that I have to take all of our needs in to consideration and make the choices that will make us all happy. I have done a fantastic job with breastfeeding my daughter and she has loved very minute; making it to one will a great achievement for both of us. Of course Sofia's needs are a priority and things may change over the next few months and knowing me I will probably still feeding her until she is ten!
Ultimately the best thing I can do is have my plan of when to end in mind and take things as they come. Sofia is already starting to show big changes in her feeding patterns, as she is now on solids and starting to eat more and more each day. We have taken the BLW weaning route and we are both loving every minute but still loving the breastfeeding too.
BLW has meant that at times Sofia eats little food and breastfeeds lots and at other times she eats more solids and wants fewer feeds from me. For me, that is not a problem as I have always fed on demand and I really want Sofia to enjoy the whole weaning experience without being rushed. The biggest challenges for me now are teeth and clinginess. Sofia already has 9 teeth, the first 4 coming all at once at 5 months, so I have been bitten a few times. With the first bite I panicked as it flipping hurt and was worried that I wouldn't know how to stop it but after a few firm 'NO's ' and a more relaxed attitude biting is few and far between. I can see when Sofia is teething, tired or cranky so I am more careful when feeding and always have my little finger at hand for when she is about to start pulling. The clinginess is a bit more difficult at times, I often worry that I comfort Sofia too much; whipping out a boob at any sign of distress. I tell myself that it is silly to think this and that my comfort cannot do anything but good for her but when she just will not settle without me and won't even go to daddy I do get a little stressed; it's only natural I suppose. This is something I really do need to be patient with as she will find her independence in her own time, above all she is a truly happy and beautiful breastfed baby, what more could we ask for.
I have loved writing these posts for the breastfeeding scavenger hunt and plan on writing a few more as have got lots of thoughts and ideas as a result of writing and reading other blogs, so watch this space.

Wines for Under Four Dollars (a bottle) – A My Table Tasting
Pretty much anyone can pick out a bottle of wine for $30 and end up with something perfectly drinkable, if not downright excellent. It gets a little harder at $10. But how about for under $4? The fine folks at My Table decided, as a public service for everyone who loves or needs a bargain, to taste a number of wines at that price point and see just what could be found for less than the price of a good 6-pack of beer. The wines were all tasted blind, with our tasting panel knowing nothing more about the 15 wines before them other than each wine's varietal and the fact that all the wines had something in common. It was revealed only at the tasting's conclusion that the common thread was the price: the wines were all $3.99 or less per 750ml bottle. Each wine was rated on a scale from one to ten on these categories: color, nose, body, taste and finish, with ten being the best; a perfect score would garner an overall score of 50. Lively discussion ensued, with the level of liveliness increasing as the tasting progressed. Here then, are the results of our less than scientific, but more than fun tasting.
Even when one is on a Spartan budget, it's nice to start with bubbles. In this case, J. Rogét American Champagne, NV Brut ($3.49). "Champagne," in this case, should really be in quotes, but it's hard to quibble for the price. There was a high level of bubblocity when the wine was first poured, which faded fairly quickly. The color was an attractive golden yellow. Our panel detected hints of over-ripe pears on the nose, but thought it a bit oxidized and a little tired. Some tasted Clementine oranges. It was deemed to be a pretty good party wine, and just the thing for Mimosas. It earned an overall score of 32 out of a possible 50. All things considered, not bad at all.
We then tasted our first still white wine, Trader Joe's Charles Shaw Blend 2011 Pinot Grigio, from California ($2.99). It looked very bright in the glass, and exhibited some green highlights. The wine had ground white pepper on the nose, along with dried apricots and a certain doughiness that some panelists found "weird," but others liked. The body was pleasantly creamy. On the palate the wine was very clean, had dried apricots, but almost no finish. Its overall score was 32.5.
Next was another Pinot Grigio, this one by Cul-de-Sac from California ($2.98). This wine was less popular than the two preceding it. Tasters liked the fennel on the nose, but not the slightly moldy funkiness. Some commented that the wine came across as contrived, and its acid artificial. Its overall score was 23.
Our next two wines were Sauvignon Blancs, the first being Trader Joe's Charles Shaw Blend 2011, from California ($2.99). Its color was an attractive, if diluted, pale straw with greenish tints. Its nose was redolent of fresh herbs, mostly basil. On the palate, there was a quickly fading initial burst of acidity, then heat with a little citrus. It had no oak, and no finish. In its own low-rent way, it was a recognizable and admirable attempt at a Sancerre. Its overall score was 31.5.
Next up was Trader Joe's Viñas Chilenas 2012 Sauvignon Blanc Reserva, from Chile ($3.99). This wine was an attractive pale straw with green highlights. Its nose was fresh, with hints of lime and freshly mowed grass. On the palate, it was squeaky clean, herbaceous, nicely high in acid, had a little grapefruit, no oak and a decent finish. This turned out to be a real bargain in a classic Sauvignon Blanc. Its overall score was 35.
Now, it was time for a few Chardonnays. First, we tasted Santa Barbara Landing 2010 Chardonnay, from Santa Barbara County, California ($3.99). This was the first genuinely unpleasant wine we tasted. It was a dull color and had an undistinguished nose. On the palate, there was some artificial-tasting oak, a lot of alcohol and no discernable fruit. The panel thought it came across as cheap and "manufactured." It had no finish to speak of. Its overall score was 21.5.
Our next Chardonnay was by Cul-de-Sac, from California ($2.98). This wine had a very nice, bright golden color. It had an enjoyable nose of ripe, fresh pears. On the palate were more pears and a modest but attractive amount of oak all wrapped up in a smooth, round texture. It finished a little hot but, overall, was a straightforward and pleasant wine. Its overall score was 39.5.
Next we tasted Trader Joe's Viñas Chilenas 2012 Chardonnay Reserva, from Chile ($3.99). This wine seemed to be defective. It was described as moldy, icky, fishy and reminiscent of something found under a bridge. Its overall score was 18.5.
Our final white was Purple Moon 2010 Chardonnay, from California ($3.99). It started out with a respectable, bright golden color. It went downhill with a weak but waxy nose that one taster said is what they imagined a Chardonnay-scented candle would smell like. Its texture reminded another of sandpaper. Its taste was, "perfumey." Its overall score was 18.
Our first red wine was Cul-de-Sac American Merlot ($2.98). This wine was not a favorite of the panel. It had a pale, faded color. The nose struck tasters as artificial, with hints of baked pastry mixed with a generic rot. The taste was also described as artificial, with a short finish of chemicals. One taster said, "It's kind of wimpy, like cheap nail polish that you have to do three coats of." I took her at her word. Its overall score was 18.
We then tasted two Tempranillos. The first was by La Granja 360, a 2011 from Cariñena, Spain ($3.99). It was a concentrated garnet color. On the nose, it reminded one panelist of an old fruit roll up, and another of warm, plastic insulation on about-to-short electrical wiring. The panel felt the taste gave the impression that it had been stored in an inappropriate plastic container for a year. Its overall score was 16.5.
Next was La Finca 2012 Tempranillo, from Mendoza, Argentina ($3.99). Visually, it was bright and concentrated. On the nose were strawberries (more jelly than jammy), and subtle cedar. The tasters found it to be elegant and smooth, with distinct red fruits, cedar and an interesting finish. Its overall score was 30.5.
We then moved on to another wine by La Finca, a 2012 Malbec, also from Mendoza, Argentina ($3.99). It had a youthful, attractive color. Its nose was fresh, with a little bit of wholesome yeastiness. On the palate it was light, fresh, fruity and simple, with nothing unpleasant at all in the mix. One taster described it as, "A great patio pounder that you're not going to think about very much." Its overall score was 35.
Next up was Cul-de-Sac American Cabernet Sauvignon ($2.98). This wine was, unfortunately, flawed. Comments included, "Smells like feet," "Smells like bacteria that grows in a winery – and I'm not putting this in my mouth" and, "Enzymes gone bad." Its overall score was 13.
Since we started with bubbles, I thought we'd end with slightly sweet bubbles. J. Rogét American Spumante ($3.49) was chosen to fill the role. It had a copper color with a large, white head that reminded the panel of Miller Draft. It smelled of airplane glue, tasted of rancid bananas and was very sweet. One taster called it, "Essence of sorority pledge." Again, I took her word for it. Its overall score was 17.
Although not every wine in this tasting was one that we would love to drink again and again, there were a few very nice surprises considering the amazing price point. Budget never needs to be the reason to opt for iced tea again.
Our panelists were:
Joe Abuso
Marcy Jimenez at Houston Wine Merchant
Teresa Byrne-Dodge
Cameron Ansari
Taylor Byrne Dodge
Judy Patel
Melissa Deterling

The journey that a parent takes can sometimes be a bumpy one. By reading the tips below, you will be able to make bringing up a child an incredibly enjoyable journey. As you read the ideas here, consider which ones apply to your situation and can be put to use.
Transitions are hard on preschoolers. An abrupt switch from on activity to the next can induce stress, and it will end in a melt down.
Take a break once in a while. Find a friend or relative who can care for your children for an hour or two. When parents do not get a break from their children, they tend to become more stressed out, which in turns, causes tension throughout the whole house.
No two children are exactly alike. Perhaps you have already established a good bringing up a child style with your first child: do not expect things to be exactly the same with your second child. This includes both punishments and rewards. Even though this is the case, remember the basic methods you have learned.
When your child is having difficulty cutting teeth, try placing sour pickles, cucumbers or carrots in a mesh teether. While various other methods also work, your baby will use a teething device longer if it has some taste to it. Encourage your child to keep chewing, and those sore gums will feel better as the day progresses.
By setting firm, yet positive, boundaries and rules for your children you can avoid a lot of family discord and everyone will get along better. "Touch gently" is a more positive way of stating a rule that does not allow hitting.
When traveling with children, it is advisable to stop often to allow them time to expend some of their pent-up energy. It may be tempting to try to reach your destination as fast as you can, but taking an approach that is more leisurely will help limit the fussiness in the backseat. Stop at parks, restaurants with play areas, or open grassy areas to let your children run off excess energy during the trip.
Bring some comfort items when traveling with toddlers or young children. Vacations are meant to be fun, relaxing times for everyone in the family, but with a young child it can be difficult because their routine is disrupted. Let your child keep a familiar object, like a favorite toy, to help them adjust to a new environment.
Remove junk foods from the house and you eliminate temptations, while promoting healthier choices. Without junk food in the house, your children are far less likely to beg for it. Only indulge in these unhealthy treats during holidays like birthdays, Christmas, and Halloween.
Surely, the information presented here can help you become a better parent. If you are able to follow the tips provided, you should be able to develop a strong relationship with your children. Make your family dynamic an enjoyable one using the preceding tips.

#StyleWithLove And River Island!
I was invited along to a styling event with River Island at the there Style Studio, at the Marble Arch flagship store. The event was held in the ever-so stylish Studio Suite, where the Prosecco was flowing… selfies were a plenty and there was a vibrant buzz amongst mingling bloggers. We all took part in a fun Valentine's quiz – which was pretty hard! We actually reached a tiebreaker question and I was pipped to the post, it was won by fellow blogging pal Annie – see us at LoveBox from last summer.
The Style Studio Deets:
The style studio is a complimentary one-to-one styling service, and your one stop fashion fix. They will help you find the outfit for any up coming occasion, new season wardrobe updates or just need some new fashion mojo, then look no further the the style studio.

The studio stylist had a little nose at our Instagram feeds to get an idea of our style likes and dislikes, using this they picked us each an outfit. They got mine spot on, denim dungaree culottes and a white Victorian style blouse too bad I didn't win the quiz and get the dreamy outfit. Thank you River Island for inviting me down to your style studio, I had a blast!

I've sort of been on a makeup-frenzy hiatus these past couple of months. Been battling the urge to make trips to cosmetic counters, because I know I'll just end up splurging. I try not to go to the mall, because even if I attempt to control myself, my legs just don't listen. They end up walking the familiar route to my favorite makeup stores anyway.
I thought staying at home would do the trick, but because of my addiction to the internet, it wasn't such a wise thing after all. A few weeks ago, I let temptation lure me into purchasing the following:
MAC eye shadows in: Juiced, Sprout and Humid from Gem. I was actually eyeing the pot of Humid eye shadow at the MAC counter in Changi Airport back in July, but I passed. Good thing, because I got these babies at great prices, thanks to Gem! :)
She sold them priced really low, because they are actually pots of MAC eye shadow samples. Apparently, hollywood stars get these type of sample freebies from makeup giants like MAC. Lucky!!! Gem's aunt who works for one hollywood star gave it to her. They are exactly the same as the commercially available pots of MAC eye shadows in the market, except for the labels which are marked samples.
Swatched without flash: Juiced, Sprout and Humid. I haven't played with these babies yet, because I've been somewhat lazy to put on makeup these past couple of weeks. But anyway, thanks again, Gem! :)
And because of Beauty and Minerals' Great Big Charm Mid-Year Brush Sale a few weeks ago, I finally bought this hot pink Charm Kabuki at 25% off! I love love love how pink it is! :)
I also bought this Charm Blending Brush on sale, so that I don't overuse my MAC 217 Brush too much. This brush already sells at the most affordable price of Php300, but thanks to the Charm Sale, I got it for only P200! Sweet deal, I must say! :)
The Charm Blending Brush next to my MAC 217. I have to say that it's the best alternative to the 217! It does the same job as the MAC brush, with very little to no difference at all. I already stored my MAC 217 to use only on special occasions, and have kept my Charm Blending Brush in my makeup bag for my daily usage.
Sophie also added this Monave eye shadow sample in Taupe as a freebie when she sent me my Charm goodies. Thanks, Sophie! :)
I wish I could have this same urge to spend on other things like interior accessories and fittings (some nice Grohe faucets, maybe?), but those will have to wait for when we start renovating our house. Hehe! However, I will try to make this my last makeup splurge for a while, because my mom is coming home from Canada with a stash of my makeup orders next week. I can't wait! :)

Teen Wolf
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Boys
This homemade costume for boys entered our 2015 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Jessica, the 'Teen Wolf' costume creator:
My son Dominic is 4 years old and dressed up as Teen wolf. He loves watching movies from the 80's and this is what he decided to be this year.
We bought fabric from JoAnns, about half a yard of the blue and a yard of the yellow. Also a half yard of the fur.
To make the fur for the arms I cut a hole with a slit in the back to fit his head but to wear it still hugs the neck. Then brought the material down around the arms, leaving a hole by the armpits to still keep the arms moveable. Sewed it all together then added in patches under the armpit to close it up.
For the jersey I uses his other jerseys as a template. Looked online on how to make the neck collar and the sleeves.
The lettering on the jersey I printed it out on paper, cut it and double sided taped it to the blue fabric and slowly cut out the lettering, then hot glued it on.
the shorts I made another template sewed together and put elastic around the waist.
The hair and beard is Dominics real hair. We teased the top and sprayed it with strong hairspray.
The beard we grabbed his hair from underneath the back, pulled it forward and used hairspray to stick it to his face.
All together it cost us about $17 to transform Dominic into Teen wolf!!!

Longo – "Seaweed and Silk" A mermaid: hundreds of miles from her home on the ice, on a ship with a troll, a goblin wizard, and a pack of wolves. What else can go wrong? Oh, right. A flippin' sea monster. Mary Rogers – "Spring Fling" A druid's bargain gives Carson revenge against his former lover Carrie–at the price of her memories of them together. But did she truly steal his magic all those years ago? Or was the real theft his heart? Elsa Carruthers – "Welded" Welding Witch, Rena, is on the run. She's not looking for love, but all the magic in the world can't keep the sparks from flying when her rivals, Nate and Duke, find her. A.E. Hayes – "A Siren's Song of Spring" She is sworn to sing men to their deaths. Until one sails into her heart.
|Three hundred years, eight months, two weeks, five days, seven hours, six minutes, and twenty-three seconds. That's how long it's been since I was last out of my planter. So, when someone rubs the side of my home, I'm understandably thrilled. A brilliant silver light surrounds me, eradicating the soul-crushing sorrow I've felt for so long. In a flash, I'm out in the sunshine, wearing my favorite pale blue sundress, and facing a startled-looking, but kind of cute, human male, who I instantly know is named Adam Jones. Djinn magic is useful that way.
"What the…?" Adam jumps back. Brown eyes go wide above solid cheekbones, and well-muscled, but not bulky, arms go slack at his sides.

Snowflake is a young woman of 16 winters with slightly dark skin. Unlike the other Icefolk, she has blue eyes and white hair, the product of falling into the Pool of the White Eye. She sometimes looks into the distance as if her thoughts are elsewhere, especially during nights when Solinari is in high sanction.
Snowflake is friendly and approachable, acting as a mother-figure to small children in her native village. Elsewhere, she finds that small children (and kender!) are drawn to her as well. She has developed some skill crafting puppets and putting on impromptu shows for children.
As a young child, Snowflake was gravely ill. Her parents traveled to an ancient temple dedicated to gods long-gone, and prayed for an answer. As the parents prayed, the young girl wandered off. Realizing what had happened, her parents rushed to her scream as she fell into an ice-cold pool of white water. When Snowflake emerged, her eyes had turned ice-blue and her hair was white. Snowflake was healed, and her parents took this to be a sign from the gods.
Snowflake was taught the ways of the winternorns, an ancient arcane tradition of her people. In the prior age of man, winternorns from her tribe had used the magic of White Eye to fuel their spells. Now they've adapted their methods to newly discovered magic of the world, for which Snowflake had an innate talent.
When the White Eye returned, her tribe celebrated, many returning to the old ways. Snowflake, though, did not feel the same urge. She felt the pull of the white moon, yet the ancient arcane writings proved to be indecipherable. With increased pressure coming from her tribe, Snowflake has decided to leave and discover who she is on her own.
Now Snowflake travels the world, searching for who she truly is. She has recently come to the attention of Ramiel, a White Robe renegade hunter. Ramiel is observing Snowflake, supposedly to determine if she is a threat to be neutralized. Ramiel has other motives in mind, which include protecting the young girl. What those motives are remain to be seen.
In Your Campaign:
Snowflake can be encountered in any area in Icereach, or in the realm of Gellidus shortly after the War of Souls. She can be the focus of an adventure, where the players protect her from Ramiel and, in turn, try to discover his real motives.

NIHR Policy on Open Access
As a publicly funded research body, the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) requires authors to make outputs from its research publicly available. Please refer to the NIHR website for any updates on publishing.
We support the principle of open access to the outputs of research, which can offer both social and economic benefits as well as aiding the development of new research and stimulating wider economic growth of the UK economy. The NIHR is also committed to adding value in research, which ensures publishing research results in full in an accessible and unbiased report.
As one of the original funders of Europe PMC, the NIHR has an open access policy. Our policy is in line with those of the Research Councils and follows the Government's response to the 2013 Finch Report "Accessibility, sustainability, excellence: how to expand access to research publication".
Launched in January 2007 (as UKPMC), Europe PMC provides a permanent and free-to-access online digital archive of the full text, peer reviewed research publications (and datasets) that arise from research funded by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), the NIHR and other members of Europe PMC's Funders Group.
The DHSC and NIHR support the fundamental principles that:
- ideas and knowledge derived from publicly funded research must be made available and accessible for public use, interrogation and scrutiny as widely, rapidly and effectively as possible
- the models and mechanisms for publication and access to research results must be both efficient and cost effective in the use of public funds
- the outputs from current and future research should be preserved and remain accessible for future generations
Our policy applies to any peer-reviewed research articles (including review articles not commissioned by publishers, final reports or executive summaries), which are supported in whole or in part by NIHR funding, that have been submitted for publication since 1 April 2014, and which are published. The NIHR managing centres monitor compliance with this policy, including reviewing information that has been reported through Researchfish.
Requirement of researchers
DHSC and NIHR require that NIHR-funded researchers seek to publish their research outputs in a peer-reviewed journal that is compliant with the policy on open access.
- It is expected that the research should be published in a journal that makes it available using the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) licence, and allows immediate deposit of the final published version in other repositories without restriction on re-use. If this is not possible then the authors must reconsider the appropriateness of the original publication and how to comply with the point above.
- It is expected that award holders will make provision from the award to cover publication costs under this policy. (previous transition arrangements have been withdrawn) If necessary, researchers may need to contact the awarding NIHR Managing Centre to discuss this. This does not apply to any recipient of NIHR funding prior to 1 April 2014, which remain under the requirements of their original contract, however it is recommended that these award holders contact the appropriate NIHR managing centre to discuss publication.
- The above should not prevent researchers from also depositing a copy in their own institutional or another subject-based repository should they choose to do so, or be required to do so by their employing institution subject to any restrictions from the publishers.
NIHR award holders may find it beneficial to work in cooperation with other research funders' approaches to open access (for example RCUK's OA Block Grant, or host organisation publication support schemes). The NIHR reserves the right to review how the funds are being utilised, but expects researchers and research bodies to make the most cost effective use of funding.
As part of its long standing commitment to open access, the NIHR is a member of BioMed Central. This entitles NIHR researchers to a 15% discount against article processing charges for BioMed Central and SpringerOpen journals, although NIHR researchers are free to approach any publisher within the scope of the wider policy. The NIHR supports the recommendation of the Finch Report over the establishment by research organisations of Institutional Publication Funds to meet the costs of article processing charges for open access publishing.
In common with the RCUK policy, DHSC and NIHR also recognises that copyright in the manuscript itself would normally remain with the author and this will continue.
- For the purposes of this policy the NIHR considers that the 'content' of a paper includes, but is not limited to, the text, data, images and figures within a paper.
- DH and NIHR will continue to work with the other funders of Europe PMC and Research Councils to ensure that the wider adoption of open access in the research community is managed in a sensitive and timely fashion. The NIHR will work with all parties to ensure that the researcher is not inconvenienced.
- The policy does not cover books, critical editions, volumes and catalogues, or forms of non-peer-reviewed material. However, the NIHR encourages authors of such material to consider making them open access where possible.
- As part of supporting the drive for openness and transparency in research, and to ensure that researchers consider and plan for data access, the policy requires all NIHR researchers to prepare and submit to the NIHR a statement on how underlying research materials, such as data, samples or models, can be accessed. The policy does not require that the data must be made open.
NIHR Journals Library
The NIHR is the world's first health research funder to publish comprehensive accounts of its commissioned research within its own publicly and permanently available journal series. The NIHR Journals Library comprises a suite of five open access peer reviewed journals reporting results from a range of health research areas. Studies funded under the following research programmes are required to submit a final report for publication in the relevant NIHR journal:
- Efficacy and Mechanism Evaluation (EME) Programme
- NIHR Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) Programme
- NIHR Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme
- NIHR Public Health Research (PHR) Programme
- NIHR Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) Programme
Although publication in the NIHR Journals Library meets the requirements of the NIHR open access policy, the NIHR encourages researchers to also publish in other high impact peer-reviewed journals.
Should a researcher inform the relevant NIHR managing centre of their wish to publish a paper in a journal that is unwilling to agree either to the overarching aims of this policy, or to deposition of the manuscript in Europe PMC within six months of publication, NIHR may, in exceptional and merited circumstance, grant permission for the author to submit the paper for publication in such a journal.

Minutes before the Nintendo Wii U went on sale in the U.S., Nintendo made a firmware update available that takes a rather long amount of time to download and install, but is completely necessary in order to have your console use any of its online features. Then a few weeks ago, firmware update version 2.1.0 was made available which made "further improvements to overall system stability."
As vague as that update was, the next firmware update is right around the corner as Nintendo's President, Satoru Iwata, announced it will be available in late December, and it's an update you're going to be happy is available.
According to Iwata, the firmware update will address the slow software loading times, which I'm sure many of you Wii U owners have experienced too often.
We're just hoping your kids can be patient as their Wii U they received for the holidays updates itself for hours. We're hoping you were a smart parent and updated it before wrapping it up, or you could be looking at some bored, impatient kids this holiday season.

Have you ever wondered what a game featuring space mining dwarves would look like? Well, wonder no more, because Deep Rock Galactic has you covered.
Built as a 4-player co-operative shooter, Deep Rock Galactic takes inspiration from the likes of Left 4 Dead and No Man's Sky, focusing on space exploration as you work together to kill monsters, dig for valuable resources and, ultimately, become bad-ass dwarves in the process.
Currently the game is in closed alpha and presents the bare bone structure necessary to give players a taste of what the final vision will feel like. Recently a few of the Start Replay team banded together to give the game a try and whilst we have encountered a fair amount of game-breaking bugs (unsurprising for its current state), overall we ended up having an enjoyable time that pointed towards a promising future for the dwarven diggers.
Before starting a mission you must first pick between four character classes: Driller, Engineer, Gunner, and Scout. As the names suggest each one is available to help serve a singular function: the Driller has a huge drill to dig through scenery at a quicker rate, the Engineer can shoot platforms and set up ziplines for hard-to-reach resources, the Gunner has a lot of firepower and, lastly, the Scout can help brighten any upcoming path with shootable flares.
The game's environments are 100% procedurally generated and as a result it helps to provide a variation of terrain and tunnels to plough through. Although the amount of variation in this early build is limited, its developers (Ghost Ship Games) promise a much broader range of environmental styles in the final game.
So, what is the main aim of the game? In short: to collect as many precious material deposits as possible. When you land on a planet (or Hoxxe) you and your team will be required to mine deep into any given area. The further you progress the more veins of shiny, valuable resources you will comes across. Simply use your pickaxe to collect them before depositing your inventory into one collective stash of rare gems and gold.
At current Deep Rock Galactic offers very little when it comes to a mixture of gameplay modes, but at the very least Ghost Ship Games has formed a solid foundation to lay down a continuous amount of updates.
Closing Thoughts
I've enjoyed my taste of dwarf mining exploration and look forward to seeing how the game improves. If you don't own a PC, you'll be pleased to hear that the game is also headed to the Xbox One preview programme in 2018. Fingers crossed it will also make its way to PlayStation thereafter.

This sure does feel like Iraq is bedding down to protect themselves from external attacks. Perhaps they have received multiple threats and are in preparation for another false flag attack on the part of Israel?
Tuesday,October 2 2012, Your time is 19:28:32
Iraq's Cabinet has recommended Parliament abrogate treaties permitting foreign forces in the country as the Turkish government submitted a motion to extend cross-border operations against members of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
"The cabinet decided to reject the presence of any foreign bases or forces on Iraqi land and to reject the entry of any foreign military forces into Iraqi land," government spokesman Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement.
The spokesman confirmed that the Cabinet recommended Parliament cancel and not extend any treaty signed in the past with any foreign state that allows the presence of foreign forces and military bases on Iraqi land or the entry of these forces. The Cabinet also condemned the Turkish government's motion to extend cross-border operations against militants in northern Iraq. The government motion for a one-year extension of the Turkish military's authorization to stage cross-border operations was already submitted to Parliament in late September.


text: Is it Time for Furnace Service or Replacement? Posted January 5, 2016 When winter strikes and we start getting calls about furnaces that aren't producing heat, the majority of them can be traced back to irregular furnace service and maintenance. If furnace concerns are not handled, your system may suddenly stop running and leave you and your family in the cold. However, there are a few warning signs you can be on the lookout for to know when it's time for furnace service or replacement before your system stops running. Furnace Age The typical life expectancy of furnaces is between 12-17 years. If your furnace is 15 years or older it's smart to start furnace shopping now. Choosing a new furnace isn't a decision you want to have to make on the fly. Give yourself enough time to research and weigh all of your options. Increased Gas or Electric Bills Furnaces lose efficiency as they get older and your system will lose efficiency faster if it has not been properly maintained. Envision the extra money you're paying to the utility company as money that could be going towards purchasing a new, more efficient system. More Frequent Furnace Repairs The last few years of a furnace's life are when your system encounters the most breakdowns. Begin adding up the money you've been spending on furnace repair the last two years - a new system could be a better option. Strange Noises Have you heard any odd sounds coming from your system? Furnaces start making weird noises near the end of their lifecycle. If your furnace is cycling on and off frequently or blowing chilly air, it's time to think about getting your system replaced. A Dry or Dusty Home Older furnaces don't humidify or filter the air in your home all that well. Your home can start feeling stuffy and anyone in the home with allergies could notice an uptick in their symptoms. Some other red flags are: static shocks, drooping plants and cracking furniture. If any of these red flags sound like what you are experiencing with your furnace, it might be time to start thinking about a new system. We will work with you to ensure you are getting the new system or furnace service that will work for you and your home comfort needs. Call us at 972-351-8874 and talk with one of our professionals.

McCormack calls for more ANZAC grant submissions
RIVERINA MP Michael McCormack has called for more applications for projects to be submitted as part of the Australian Government's ANZAC Centenary Local Grants Program.
"The Riverina has $125,000 in funding to commemorate very important occasion in our nation's history. I encourage local organisations to consider whether this funding can go towards their recognition of the Riverina's contribution to World War I," Mr McCormack said.
The Riverina's ANZAC Centenary Local Grants Committee held a meeting in Griffith last month to consider the applications which have been received so far.
Committee Chairman John Sullivan praised the community's applications and highlighted how funding could be used to begin projects throughout the region.
"There are some great ideas coming from many individuals and organisations. This is a chance to provide seed funding for many projects across the region and the Committee encourages more people to apply," Cr Sullivan said.
Mr McCormack said all applications must be received by his office by Monday 31 March 2014.
Application forms and criteria information is available through the ANZAC Centenary website (http://www.anzaccentenary.gov.au/grants/index.htm) or by contacting Mr McCormack's Wagga Wagga or Griffith electorate offices.

For children that are abused and neglected, life can sometimes be mere survival. There is no "childhood". Children who are abused and neglected did not ask to be put in the situation they are in. They did not ask to be abused or neglected and have not asked to be removed from their homes. They are there through absolutely no fault of their own. So, why should this child suffer even more from that situation?
The main focus of the Foster Friends is to help provide enrichment activities, develop social skills, boost self confidence, and boost self esteem for children and young adults in foster care. We help plant the seeds for success so that a child can flourish and excel.
While there is some funding available through state resources, much of the burden falls on foster parents to absorb the cost of extracurricular activities. Foster Friends helps foster youth participate with scholarships in the following programs:
- Soccer
- Baseball
- Basketball
- Football
- Hockey
- Dance Lessons
- Music Lessons
- Karate
- Taekwondo
- Ballet
- Camps
- Singing Lessons
- Tutoring Programs
Foster Friends also includes a variety of group events such as Holiday Parent ties, Sporting Events, Movie Nights, Paint Nights, and other fun activities. We also provide scholarships and grants to help purchase certain items for youth in Foster Care.
Why should a child miss out on opportunities just because of a living situation they had no control over? How can we expect a child to survive later in life without giving them the opportunity to interact and succeed with their peers? Again, think back to your childhood and think of where you would be today had you not had certain opportunities.
If you would like to apply for assistance with a particular program, please Contact Us so we can discuss a particular program of interest.

Billy Graham once said, "When a mother or daddy goes to prison it's the children who do the hard time."
I think he is absolutely right. Can we even fathom the despair and pain these little shoulders must bear and how desperate they must feel? I've witnessed, first hand, their downward spiral of devastation-- the emotional pain, the lack of basic human needs (food, shelter, and clothing), the grief of feeling unloved. And it has broken my heart.
There are 2.7 million children in America with a parent in prison. 1 in 28 American school-aged children have an incarcerated parent. How this must grieve the heart of God!
Angel Tree is a Prison Fellowship Ministry of Charles Colson where children of inmates receive Christmas gifts in the name of their incarcerated mothers or fathers. The gifts, help to keep the parent-child bonds of love alive. Most inmates are 150 miles from their children, or even across the country, and the children never get to see them. The gifts signify a parent's love and concern for their children. They bring hope and excitement. As a result, the incarcerated parents are often reconciled to their families.
In the summer of 1993 Pastor McCullough announced that a representative from Prison Fellowship would be at our church. Anyone interested in providing Christmas gifts for children, in the name of the incarcerated parents, were invited to attend. From that very moment, God put these children on my heart and He put them inside Larry's heart, too.
Three years later we began a mentoring ministry we call Angel Care. There were about 13 families with 65 kids. These families seemed to have the most overwhelming needs. Now, 20 years later we are still mentoring to these same individuals in a major effort to combat the vicious cycle of kids following their parents to prison.
Our church family has faithfully served over 5,000 children these last twenty-four years. Other Nazarene churches, students from Southern Nazarene University , as well as individuals from other churches have teamed up with us in this ministry. What a tremendous joy, enrichment, and blessing Angel Tree has been to all of us.
In closing, Billy Graham gave us another gem when he said, "Love talked about goes unnoticed; love demonstrated is irresistible."

I recently read a great post from The Mom in Black regarding "the parent mealympics." For those of you not in the know, this is the tendency (born of necessity) of parents of young children to scarf their food, often without chewing (much) in order to beat the "toddler time-bomb" (i.e. get a small amount of daily sustenance before your child demands that you starve yourself in order to provide for his/her needs.) It's a real thing, ladies and gentlemen, and if you've not experienced it, you will just have to trust me.
Anyway, this got me thinking about how much I miss eating out. Pre-little man, the wife and I used to eat out all the time. At least once a week we'd go to our favorite local spot with a bunch of other educator friends to have some beers and tasty food and hash out the problems of the world (mostly related to how to get middle schoolers to do their homework.) Now, we eat dinner on the couch, in front of the TV, nightly, trying to be as quiet as possible so we don't wake the adorable little time bomb we just got to sleep upstairs.
I miss eating out. Granted, we do get to do it once in a great while. We made a point this year of getting ourselves some theater tickets, and investing in a babysitter (or importing the grandparents from a couple hours away) and going out. It's important to us to have that connection–to remind ourselves we are still people, apart from the small human we have given life to.
But here's the thing–we had to plan it. Like way in advance. This never used to be a thing. Before Little Man, we'd text each other mid-day: "Hey, the girls want to go out tonight!" "Oh, boy! Where to? Can't wait!" Now, we scheme for weeks ahead of time, ensuring we've got reservations, and a sitter lined up, and a back-up in case something falls through.
We used to be spontaneous. Little Man made us into planners.
In more ways than one, I suppose. And you know what? That's okay.

Entreaties Receive Divine Assistance
A community member appeared before the LSA about a matter of significant personal concern. The Assembly, in response, consulted and proposed a thoughtful course of action. The petitioner listened carefully, then raised a series of objections, and anticipated difficulties in carrying out the suggestions.
The following week, the petitioner returned to the LSA with another issue, and the previous week's scenario played out again, with the petitioner at odds with the Assembly.
This continued for well over a month. Each time the friend presented some new problem, consultation ensued, and the friend raised objections to the guidance. By this time, the poor Assembly members were frustrated and in a general dither, not knowing how to assist the petitioner.
After a month of meetings, the friend sought more guidance. And, once more, the petitioner presented a new problem. Frazzled, but willing to consult one more time, the believer was invited to step into the next room while the Assembly consulted, and was asked and asked to recite the "The Remover of Difficulties" prayer 95 times while the LSA members consulted.
After consultation, one of the members went to fetch the believer from the room. The bewildered Assembly member returned to the group, and reported...
"The room is EMPTY"!

Never Alone: Six Encounters with Jesus to Heal Your Deepest Hurts -Women's Bible Study Participant Workbook
Product Description▼▲
It's impossible to walk through life without experiencing the pain and loneliness of betrayal, shame, guilt, loss, judgment, or rejection. These wounds can shape our views of ourselves, others, and God and even make us questions if we are worthy of love and acceptance. In this six-week study you will discover the healing power of Jesus' unconditional love. The study explores six encounters Jesus had with hurting women in the gospel:
- the woman caught in adultery
- the hemorrhaging woman
- the woman at the well
- the woman who anointed Jesus
- Mary Magdalene
- Mary, the Mother of Jesus

Publisher's Description▼▲
From the time were little girls, we long to be loved and acceptedfrom the playground to the lunchroom to the places where we live and work as grown women. We do our best to prove were lovable and to avoid being left all alone. But the truth is that its impossible to walk through life without experiencing the pain and loneliness of betrayal, shame, guilt, loss, judgment, or rejection. These wounds can shape our views of ourselves, others, and God and even make us question if we are worthy of love and acceptance. Whether old or new, our heartache can convince us theres no one who understands or cares. Yet Jesus tells us a different story, promising us that we are never alone.
In this six-week study, Tiffany Bluhm reveals the depth and healing power of Jesus unconditional love for us through a refreshing look at encounters He had with six shame-filled, hurting women in the Gospels: the woman caught in adultery, the hemorrhaging woman, the woman at the well, the woman who anointed Him, Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Each life-changing encounter reveals a compassionate Redeemer who offers hope, second chances, and grace-giving lovehelping us to recognize and embrace our own incredible value as well as our indispensable role in the Kingdom. With powerful teaching and authentic sharing from her own life and the lives of others, Tiffany invites us to find healing for our deepest hurts as we experience the unfailing companionship of Jesusthe Rescuer and Redeemer of broken lives and wounded hearts.
The participant workbook includes 5 lessons for each week with space for recording reflections and answers.Other components for the Bible study, available separately, include a Leader Guide, DVD with six 20-25 minute sessions, and boxed Leader Kit (an all-inclusive box containing one copy of each of the Bible studys components).

Police are set to investigate new allegations against Bill Roache, the Coronation Street star cleared of historic sex offences.
Roache, 81, who plays Ken Barlow in the ITV soap opera, was found not guilty by a jury of two counts of rape and four counts of indecent assault following a four-week trial at Preston Crown Court.
But yesterday Lancashire Police confirmed they had been contacted with "further information".
A police spokeswoman said: "During the course of the trial of Mr Roache, a number of other people have contacted the police with further information.
"This information will be reviewed to ascertain what action, if any, needs to be taken in relation to it.
"Mr Roache was acquitted of all the charges in the trial and there is no current investigation."
It has been reported that three women contacted police during the trial to make further allegations of sexual assault against the actor.
Speaking on the steps of the court after his acquittal on Thursday, Mr Roache said: "I have just got one thing to say, in these situations there are no winners and I think we should all be much kinder to ourselves. Now if you will excuse me I would like to get back to work."
Mr Roache did not respond when asked if the trial had been "a witch-hunt".
In her closing speech to the jury, prosecutor Anne Whyte said that if Roache was telling the truth and the complainants were all liars then he could be seen as a victim of "a huge, distorted, perverse witch-hunt".
His management team declined to comment on the news of fresh allegations.

Why Are There So Few Horror Movies Coming Out in October?
There's no better time of the year to watch horror movies than October. Even though it's only one night, Halloween has essentially become a month-long excuse to celebrate the genre. You'd never know it looking at this year's release calendar, though.
There are only two wide-release horror movies* currently on the books for this coming October: Carrie (October 18) and Paranormal Activity 5 (October 25), and apparently the latter is on the verge of dropping off the calendar according to a new report from the Wrap. Paramount now has its eye on the weekend of January 6, 2014 to release the film, which would be the first entry in the franchise to not hit in October. And, funnily enough, Carrie wasn't even intended to be an October release-- it was supposed to come out on March 15, 2013, but was delayed.
So why is October becoming such a dead zone for horror in movie theaters? In the case of Paranormal Activity 5, the movie just may not be ready in time. The series is notorious for leaving production down to the wire and shooting up until the last possible moment (for example, PA3 and PA4 premiered at Fantastic Fest three weeks before their national releases and neither was a fully finished film). But that doesn't explain why other studios are staying away from the month this year.
Lionsgate is opening You're Next, a fantastically fun horror movie, on August 23, the same weekend as The World's End, The Mortal Instruments, Short Term 12, Scenic Route, Drinking Buddies, The Grandmaster and at least four other limited-release movies. What's so appealing about that specific date over any single one in October? It can't be because horror has a tradition of opening huge on that weekend. The Apparition opened in that slot last year, and it absolutely bombed. The Possession opened the weekend later and it killed. (You're Next is considerably better than both, so hopefully it does well no matter what weekend.)
Warner Bros. opens The Conjuring July 19. Film District opens Insidious Chapter 2 on September 13. Both of these dates are convenient for horror fans because it's great to have options all year round, it just seems so bizarre that this year it appears to be at the expense of having an almost horror-free October -- especially compared to last year.
October 2012 we got V/H/S, Sinister, Grave Encounters 2, Smiley, Paranormal Activity 4, Silent Hill: Revelation and Sleep Tight. Only a few of those are great horror, but the actual quality of the movies doesn't even matter. October is the kind of month where people binge on horror. This year we just don't have that option, though, and it kind of sucks.
*All the Boys Love Mandy Lane opens in limited release on October 11, but it's seven years old and on DVD and Blu-ray in the U.K., so at this point it's kind of a fluke no matter when it comes out. But the movie is great, so do check it out.

Recently I've been intrigued by the idea of living a minimalist lifestyle. I was inspired from a Netflix documentary called "Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things" and Lauren Singer, someone who fit all the trash she made in one year into one jar.
In addition, I stumbled upon the blog post "40 Ways to Give More Life," which gives you a list of some ways you can give the gift of life itself in an every day encounter. It's so sad to realize that we've been conditioned to solely rely on 'things' to make us happy. Have we forgotten that just being a decent, positive human being to others is what truly fulfills us?
I've been looking for a project to practice my hand lettering skills on and decided to use this content as a guide. Here are the first ten pieces I hand lettered:

This day is to remember the lives lost to anti-trans violence; this violence may be the lack of a support system correlating to a trans person's self-harm, as well as hate-crime violence.
Why I think many of us care more than we know, is based on two questions.
- How many people don't feel, "Man enough", or "woman enough"?
- Who has not reacted to this insecurity by committing a violent act to themselves, or another? For example: shame, judgement, hatred, over-consumption, irrational risk taking and unhealthy sexual relationships.
Answer: Everyone
(revision: except one anonymous commenter, the Neo of gender security,
Stop pretending that this is exclusively their problem, trans* people would all be fine, if it wasn't for everyone else projecting their fears and insecurities on to those who are challenging the limitations of gender expression.
These people are revolutionary individuals, and not only do we owe them our acceptance (culturally and institutionally), we also owe them gratitude. Trans* people show us all that we are not slaves to the esthetic; we are boundless, unique and living proof that normal is a lie.
*when you see the word, "Trans*", the asterisk modifies the definition to include individuals of a wider spectrum of gender expression, examples being and not limited to: Transgender, Drag Queen, Gender Queer, Agender, Bigender and exct..

Sara's Review of The Half-Drowned King by Linnea Hartsuyker
Sara, from Book Culture on Columbus, reviewed Linnea Hartsuyker's The Half-Drowned King! Read her review to learn more about this exciting adventure story!
Honor, family, battle, these are the things that Ragnvald Eysteinsson lives by. He follows these standards on his very first raiding trip on a boat captained by Solvi Hunthiofsson, a man he believes will bring him to riches and fame. Unbeknownst to Ragnvald however, Solvi has entered into a deal with Olaf, Ragnvald's stepfather, to kill Ragnvald. By the grace of the gods Ragnvald survives and swears revenge on those that tried to harm him. With his desire for revenge and a vision of a golden wolf to guide him Ragnvald sets off on an adventure that takes him far from all he knows and puts him straight into a war between kings.
After Ragnvald survives the attempt on his life he decides that it is time he takes things into his own hands and promises himself that he will seek revenge for the wrongs done to him at the annual ting, the annual meeting of all the surrounding clans where all legal matters are settled, by taking his stepfather and Solvi before the jury. When Ragnvald arrives at the ting grounds he sees that king Hakon is there with his sons, including Oddi a baseborn son that is a dear friend of Ragnvald's. After things go bad at the trial and Olaf and Ragnvald agree to a duel Ragnvald decides to stay the night in Hakon's camp, to catch up and stay safe until the duel. However Olaf has other plans and sneaks into Hakon's camp that night and attempts to murder Ragnvald. When he is discovered and Ragnvald is saved once more, Ragnvald decides that it is too dangerous for him to go home to reclaim his lands right away. Instead he pledges his sword to Hakon and promises to serve him well and honorably until such time as Hakon feels he has fulfilled his duty at which point Hakon will provide him men to take back what is rightfully his. So begins Ragnvald's journey into a world of king's, war and ultimately revenge.
I have always been fascinated by Norse mythology, vikings and epic tales so I had a feeling that this book would be right up my alley. I was not wrong. The Half-Drowned King gave me everything I wanted in an adventure tale, namely adventure. Ms. Hartsuyker is a debut novelist that had a truly great idea and just ran with it. I thought that in general her ideas, story and characters were all really well put together. There were times however where her writing read very much like a first time writer. It was never anything that took too much away from the book but it was a little jarring. This, however did not make it any easier to put down or to stop thinking about it. I slowly fell into somewhat of an obsession with the story.
Because all you lovely readers out there don't know me let me explain what it takes to make a book great for me. It has to have a great story, great characters and great writing. If a book has two of the three I still consider it a good book, and if it has only one as long as that one thing is very strong I still view it as readable. For me The Half-Drowned King was a good book. The story was mesmerizing and the characters were fascinating. I had a hard time deciding who I wanted to root for because all of the characters were so dynamic. So easy to fall in love with while you followed their journey but so easy to hate when you saw things from the other side. Linnea Hartsuyker did a truly beautiful job with bringing her characters to life and giving them real personalities.
As an all around book The Half-Drowned King was pretty good. I think that it is one of those sleeper books that don't get a lot of press at first but is such a good book that it has to be read. This is a true adventure novel, the kind that takes you to another time and place and whisks you away, to battles on the high seas, tournaments on ice and great feasts overseen by kings. Is there really anything else that you need for a good adventure?
The book is well put together and makes for a truly intriguing tale that I really enjoyed getting lost in. I can't say that it was the most well written of books but I liked it and I think that with time Linnea Hartsuyker will polish out her writing and become a good writer as well as a great storyteller. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and I really think that you will too. That is if you like adventure stories, or stories about vikings, or adventure stories about vikings, or boats, or Norway or adventurous stories about vikings on boats in Norway!
But don't take my word for it, go to your local Book Culture and pick up a copy for yourself. Happy reading!

Mozambique's enduring discrimination leaves gay men untreated for HIV →
In June, Mozambique dropped a colonial-era law criminalizing homosexual activities. The change passed relatively quietly in the southern African country. After all, no one had ever been convicted.
A few weeks later, Tony Andrea felt like he was coming down with malaria. The 22-year-old went to a government health clinic. Andrea is gay and, despite the recently overturned prohibition, had always felt safe being open about his sexuality. He certainly never suspected it might interfere with his ability to access malaria treatment.

This is a still from the Blink Conference during my one-on-one mentoring session.
Branding was a huge topic (always is, isn't it?). Here's a question for you. When these things change: profession, roles, geography, association, etc. - who are you? What skills, abilities, interests, *memories*, and insights are STILL there?
This was in my notes from Tamara Lackey's presentation a few years ago.
For me, it's definitely teaching and motivating. Regardless if there's a camera in my hand. Hope this helps you dig deeper into what your purpose is. What you're meant for.

A jealous pug has gone viral after his hilarious attempt to hitch a lift on a kid's electric trike was caught on camera.
And one thing's for sure, this little pooch wasn't about to give up a free ride without a fight.
The commotion starts as both the pug and his (slightly more overweight) pal are sat on the trailer of the little boy's three-wheeled motorbike.
But as the boy sets off, the tiny pug falls off the back.
Cue frantic jumping, running and leaping as he attempts to get himself back on the toy - obviously green with envy that the other pug managed to remain seated.
Oblivious to all the panic behind him, the little boy keeps riding along the dirt path, laughing as he looks up at the camera.
The video has been uploaded to YouTube where it has been viewed thousands of times since October 12.
The actual footage was shot on October 9 in Udon Thani, Thailand, according to a caption alongside the video.

The Telling
by Zoe Zolbrod
Zoe Zolbrod remained silent about her early childhood molestation for nearly a decade. When she finally decided to tell, she wasn't sure what to expect, or what to say. Through a kaleidoscopic series of experiences—Zolbrod hitchhikes with a boyfriend across the country, hangs out in a strip club in Philadelphia, meets and marries her husband, and gives birth to her children—she traces the development of her sexuality, her relationships with men, and the cultivation of her motherhood in the shadow of her childhood sexual abuse. Bolstered with research, Zolbrod argues passionately for the empowerment of sexual abuse victims and the courage it takes to talk about it.
The Telling is an intimate examination of one woman's reckoning with a past she can't always explain, and a life lived in search for the right words.
"In a narrative driven by ferocious diction, Zolbrod examines what it means to be a girl, a mother, a protector, a survivor, and a product of one's family. She investigates how one owns her story by sharing it, even when doing so indicts the people she loves."
"Zolbrod shows great courage as she tries to answer difficult and troubling questions about herself and her family, a powerfully rendered struggle that will strike a chord with abuse survivors and their loved ones."
—Publishers Weekly
"An honest, unapologetic, and keenly observed memoir."
—Kirkus Reviews
"'Unflinching' is a word that gets tossed around a lot in relation to memoirs; so are 'brave' and 'honest' and 'heart-wrenching.' Zolbrod's The Telling is all of these things. Self-possessed and self-aware, she sets out to move beyond the 'near hysteria over the issue' and offers a way to see through the 'fog when we confront the issue under our own noses, under our own covers, stuffed under our beds.' Beautifully and on her own terms, she succeeds."
—Chicago Tribune
"Dusk is now settling around my house and I'm just emerging from the spell of Zoe Zolbrod's transfixing memoir: I sat down, as you will, to read ten pages and ended up devouring the entire thing in one breathless gulp. Though ostensibly a tale of heartbreaking childhood molestation, The Telling is much, much more: A complicated, layered commentary on coming of age in America, on the limits of gender, and on what it means to be a young girl, a young woman, a mother, a daughter, at this moment in history. Spiked with Zolbrod's humor and her novelist's eye for detail, this layered, ingeniously constructed story reminded me of so many favorite memoirs of recent years, from Alice Sebold's Lucky to Claire Dederer's Poser, but Zolbrod's spiky, uncompromising style is utterly her own."
—Joanna Rakoff, author of My Salinger Year and A Fortunate Age
"Zoe Zolbrod's memoir about coming to terms with her childhood sexual abuse is evocative, fiercely intelligent, and beautifully constructed. It also manages to be compulsively readable, a rare quality in a book dealing with such difficult subject matter. In telling her story, Zolbrod becomes a time traveler, making elegant leaps from early childhood to her unconventional coming of age to the embattled but deep satisfactions of her own motherhood. The result is a book that ponders the way the past informs the present—and the mysterious manner in which resilience works. The Telling is a necessary memoir in every way. With remarkable restraint and grace, Zolbrod shows what telling the truth costs us, and what essential essence in the teller it sets free."
—Claire Dederer, author of Poser: My Life in 23 Poses
"This book will be a huge asset to abuse survivors and their families, but The Telling is also a memoir that is no more singularly specific to that population than having personally hiked the PCT was to the many fans of WILD, or involvement in the Hans Reiser murder case was to fans of The Adderall Diaries. What you need to love this memoir is to have ever grown up wondering if you really fit in to the narrative that seemed to be assigned to you; to have ever wanted to live life on a large canvas even if it meant being reckless; to have ever had a family secret; to have been punk or anarchist or just fascinated by any of those things in the eighties and nineties; to have ever parented a child; to have ever been a girl becoming a woman or a woman looking back on being a girl. It's one of the best memoirs of 2016, or any recent year, you should buy a copy, because no one wrestles with sticky psychology on the page quite like Zoe, and despite the serious subject matter, the book is also kind of a wild ride."
—Gina Frangello, author of My Life in Men, Slut Lullabies, and My Sister's Continent
"The Telling is a necessary book; hard at times, yes, often breathtakingly beautiful, and most importantly, I think, profoundly accessible. Childhood sexual abuse is a subject we hide from—it's too awful, too taboo—but here, Zolbrod gives us nuance and complexity, truth that pushes past the single story of victim and into this beautiful mess of a life. At times, I wanted to set the walls on fire. At times, I wanted to put down the book and hug my small son. At times, I was swept away in the narrative, an expertly woven structure of what a young girl lived and a grown woman understood. And always, the questions: when and how and who do you tell? Zolbrod is telling us. Let's listen.
—Megan Stielstra, author of Once I Was Cool
"A gripping read. The Telling is brutally honest, relentlessly passionate and ferociously intelligent. Zolbrod has written a page turner—one unlike any you've ever experienced before."
—Rob Roberge, author of Liar and The Cost of Living
"One of the most stunning memoirs I've ever read. In this perfectly-crafted story, Zolbrod exercises her impeccable command of language to explore a dark subject with beauty, humility, and fierce grace. This book burns bright on the list of those that will stay with me for years to come."
—Claire Bidwell Smith, author of The Rules of Inheritance and After This
"The job of the memoirist is to draw our gaze to the things that most scare us, and to hold it. In this way, they show us that it is possible to hold our whole truths. To do this well, they must enact such looking at the most intimate level. Only the most brave and honest writers can withstand this, the ones with a certain fortitude of self. Zoe Zolbrod is one such writer. She withholds nothing in The Telling, invites us into the deep examination of her own most changing experiences and she does so with skill, equanimity, and grace."
—Melissa Febos, author of Whip Smart
"This remarkable memoir shines a light into the most shadowy corners of the soul and demonstrates the transcendent power of truth. Both authentic and likable, Zolbrod weaves a masterful and compelling narrative and examines tough issues with remarkable nuance and sensitivity. I will not soon forget this beautiful book."
—Jillian Lauren, NY Times bestselling author of Everything You Ever Wanted, Some Girls: My Life in a Harem, and Pretty
Zoe Zolbrod's work has appeared in Salon, The Nervous Breakdown, The Weeklings, and The Rumpus. Her debut novel Currency won a 2010 Nobbie Award and received an honorable mention by Friends of American Writers. Zoe lives in Evanston, IL with her husband, son, and daughter.
