The biggest threat to whale sharks is fisheries. Target fisheries cater to demands for whale shark products, such as fins for trophy displays, and liver oil for cosmetic and medicinal products. A recent exposure of the biggest shark processing factory in Zhejiang, China revealed that over 600 whale sharks were being processed per year. This indicates that whale shark products are still regularly smuggled out of the Philippines through an extensive global trade network.
Whale sharks are also frequently caught as by-catch. By-catch reports mostly come from purse-seine fisheries that use whale sharks as an indicator of skipjack tuna presence. Once whale sharks are sighted, fisherman assume tuna are nearby and set nets in a perimeter around them. The sharks become entangled in the nets and perish.
The surface-swimming behavior of whale sharks also makes them vulnerable to injuries from boat strikes. Many sharks exhibit propeller cuts, lacerations, and other scars from boats.
The whale shark is classified as "Vulnerable to extinction" under the International Union for Conservation of Nature, and is protected internationally under the Convention on Migratory Species (Appendix II) and Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (Appendix II).
In 1998, the Philippines became the first Southeast Asian country to pass a national law protecting the whale shark (FAO 193, Series of 1998), following the poaching of 6 individuals from the then newly discovered feeding aggregation in Donsol, Sorsogon.

Somehow, whenever we hear about children, it's always bad news. Earlier this year, there was the Edlington case, where a 10-year-old and his 12-year-old brother were jailed for an "appalling and terrible" attack on two younger boys. And then, almost on cue, Jon Venables turned up, 27 now but forever aged 10 in the public mind, a blurred figure caught by the cameras at the New Strand shopping centre, leading toddler James Bulger to his death.
The two stories reinforced a growing sense that children – or at least, other people's children – don't quite belong to our world. Feral, evil, out-of-control, they all too quickly become the very definition of "broken Britain". Last year, I chaired a Women in Journalism (WIJ) conference called "Hoodies or Altar Boys?" which explored exactly this. From a sample of 1,000 British teenagers, 85 per cent said that newspapers portrayed them in a bad light. Even when the stories involved sport, only a quarter were positive.
And yet recent government legislation has only added to that sense of isolation. It is now forbidden to touch a child and parents have been threatened with arrest for taking photographs on sports day. Under the much derided Vetting and Barring Scheme, anyone wishing to work with children must now prove they are not latent paedophiles.
It sometimes seems to me that the next generation is growing up in a sort of bubble with its own language and culture (PlayStation, Facebook, MSN, texting, music) quite unconnected from the adult world. And I often wonder what they must make of us and all our preoccupations, particularly as we put them to the test of a general election. Iraq, MPs' expenses, the banking crisis, global warming, civil liberties ... how are these issues filtering down and does it even matter? After all, children don't vote. Why should they have a voice?
So, on the first of three expeditions for The Independent, I make my way to the offices of London Citizens in East London, a not-for-profit organisation which brings together more than 75,000 children under the age of 18, involving them directly in the democratic process with the aim of "social, economic and environmental justice".
Their successful campaigns include City Safe, which turns shops and offices into havens for any children who find themselves in trouble on the street. This originated in Lee, Lewisham, following the tragic and senseless murder of Jimmy Mizen in a baker's shop a day after his 16th birthday. The campaign started with 34 local traders in the same street, but its tentacles have spread all over London, and last November City Hall became the 200th official Safe Haven.
They have also campaigned for a Living Wage, with 40 per cent of London children now estimated to be below the poverty line. In a fine example of kid power, they invaded Whitehall on Halloween, bypassing the law that forbids us protesting anywhere near our politicians by dressing it up as trick-or-treating. In another piece of direct action, their parents took to the streets as unofficial lollipop ladies (and men) to encourage Greenwich council to provide the real thing.
The young people that I meet range from David, a seven-year-old black boy, tiny yet remarkably confident and articulate – to Abbas, 19, who is studying business and law, and is already a youth MP. My immediate impression is that this group has a strong allegiance to each other and to the children around them, but not to any specific political party.
They have given awards to Labour MP Jim Knight and to Ed Balls for their contributions to the Living Wage (although they're annoyed that Balls "couldn't be bothered" to turn up and collect his). But they have also been impressed by meetings with Boris Johnson and Steve Hilton, the Tory's head strategist, who spent six hours with the group ("a lovely guy, really down-to-earth, he was interested in what we do, he listened to us.") Abbas carries a picture of David Miliband, who impressed him at a meeting of the International Muslim Movement, but says he still might consider becoming a Conservative MP.
I play a word association game to gauge their feelings about the political spectrum and the results are instructive. Tony Blair brings the following: "Friend of Bush", "Gone", "Terrible" "Never stood up to George Bush", "Side kick to George Bush", "Rubbish". No mention of Iraq. He really is yesterday's news. They are surprisingly generous to Brown: "Ok", "The boss", "Got a lot on his plate", "He looks tired", "Stressed", "Bully".
This last word gets a round of laughter. They're not actually sure it's true. And if I were David Cameron, I would be worried by the response to his name (this meeting took place a month before the election was called): "I've heard of him but what does he do?" "Is he the guy who rides a bike to work but has someone behind him?", "He always criticises Brown", "He always says Brown is wrong." "A show-off", "Fussy". To be fair, two girls in the room liked him. One said he looked like a Prime Minister.
But in general, it's fair to say that their focus is more on local issues than national politics. Michael, for example, is 15, a handsome and serious black boy from Lewisham. He is driving an ambitious campaign to use the Astroturf pitches at his school to help the local community, renting them out to Millwall FC for training.
Not many of them want to become MPs, but Alexandra, aged nine, expresses the view of many when she says: "I'd like to be a community organiser, because you know the work you're doing is going to help the people around you." Bridy, aged nine, admires Barack Obama "because he started as a community organiser."
The sort of hatred of politicians that seems so popular is largely absent here. George, aged 15, from Lambeth, takes their side. "In the media, there's loads and loads of criticism. There's never any good press about politicians. It doesn't seem a fun environment." David sums up with the gravitas of an elder statesman: "Politicians are OK. They make the country better."
The issue of MPs expenses hasn't permeated through to this group. Although I guess I am talking to the children of middle-to-low income parents, when I mention moats, duck ponds, second homes and bath plugs, I get no reaction. Bankers are invisible.
Only footballers come in for some gentle criticism, not so much because of how much they earn, but how much more they earn than soldiers or nurses. "They've got everything," says Alexandra. "But they still behave badly." There is genuine puzzlement why someone like David Beckham, who earns millions, still has to sell perfume. But the overall view is generous, not envious. "People aren't helping each other enough", "There should still be rich people but we need to change the way money works."
So what are their greatest fears? Gangs, gun crime and knife crime are high on the agenda, perhaps unsurprisingly after the City Safe campaign. "There's no point calling the police; they don't do anything." Maddie, aged 13, mentions terrorism. Next to her, Bridy, aged 13, highlights a wider social awareness: "Every day we throw away so much food. People in Haiti need our help. But we keep throwing stuff away." Bullying, and in particular racial bullying, is clearly an issue. One girl worries most about her head teacher, who claims that London Citizens is a cult and wants to ban her from attending.
Abbas tells me that what he fears most is failing – and this prompts a burst of agreement around the table. "I get the feeling that we are expected to fail", "We hardly ever get any nice press." And suddenly we have come full circle and they are telling me what I had already learned at the WIJ conference. "The newspapers are very harsh," says Eva, 11. "They never ask children what they think. They just think it for them."
Michael runs through a whole list of stereotypes. If you're black, you're poor. If you're North Asian, you're good at computers. If you're South Asian, you're a terrorist. If you're from South London, you're badly behaved. He spits out the different pigeon-holes: chavs, hippies, indies, punks. "We're not part of the problem, we're part of the solution," Alex adds. "Everyone always blames the children. But it's not true."
Of course, it takes a special sort of child to want to give up two hours a month to talk about politics. But actually meeting this group, I find my own prejudices reinforced – which is to say that, as a children's author I have always leaned towards the innate goodness of young people and believed that their true character is much more upbeat and engaged than the media would have us believe.
When I see a photograph of Alexandra, chairing a meeting in front of hundreds of people at the O2 Centre ("It was quite scary but enjoyable") or Abbas addressing a packed auditorium at the Barbican, I recognise that London Citizens have tapped into a special sort of energy. Children even as young as seven have something to offer and we are foolish to ignore it.
Talking to young people reminds you of what you once were and perhaps what you set out to do. It seems to me that the cynical politicians pay lip service to "kids". The smart ones will remember that that's where they began.

A night of celebration as ACAA honours achievers
Most families migrate to developed countries for better opportunities, mainly for their children.
It was no different with John Alleyne's parents who brought their three sons from Barbados in 1965.
"They wanted to expose us to as many opportunities that exist in Canada," he said.
Alleyne found his niche in dancing.
"I think it was the power of just the body moving to music and how engaging and free that was combined with the magic of performance that really drew me to this art form," said the world renowned choreographer who was recognized for his creative brilliance with an African Canadian Achievement Award last Saturday night.
Graduating from The National Ballet School in 1978, Alleyne joined the Stuttgart Ballet where he started his choreographic career, creating compelling works for the Noverre workshop and the company's repertoire.
He said that Germany, where he spent six years, was the perfect fit at the time.
"When I walked into the studio in 1978 as an 18-year-old, there were dancers of colour at all levels," he said. "That, for me, seemed like a space in which judgment was going to come on talent as opposed to the exoticism of being Black. Also, the work was so engaging and touching of the heart, dealing with sort of universal ideas that I had never experienced before."
Returning to Canada in 1984, Alleyne joined the National Ballet of Canada as a soloist, accepting the role as the company's first resident choreographer. In that position, he created several challenging works, including "Blue-Eyed Trek", "Split House Geometric" and "Interrogating Slam".
Invited by Ballet British Columbia (BC) to choreograph several new works in the late 1980s, including "Flying to Paris", "Go Slow Walter" and "Talk About Wings", Alleyne was appointed the west coast ballet company's artistic director in 1992. His leadership marked the beginning of a creative and prosperous period in the company's history where he created one-act and full-length contemporary ballets.
Alleyne left Ballet BC – which was experiencing financial challenges – in June 2009 and returned to Montreal where he now resides with his family. He lived in Montreal in the late 1960s and early 1970s prior to joining The National Ballet School.
The first ever Simon Fraser University honorary doctorate of fine arts recipient is planning to move back to the Caribbean.
"The arts have been such a large part of my life," he said. "Now as I slide towards my 60s, it's important to find a place where you can encourage and give others an opportunity."
For the first time in the 32-year history of the awards, a parent and child were honoured on the same night.
Jamaican-born health care practitioner, Dr. Rosemary Moodie, has provided medical care for critically ill newborn infants and children while working to improve medical service delivery needs in the field of obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics. The younger of her two sons – Dr. Jonathan Wong – is enrolled in the Hospital For Sick Children's paediatric medicine residency program.
"As a parent, your greatest legacy is not what you have accomplished professionally," said Dr. Moodie who has helped to shape the lives of young people in some of the city's designated priority neighbourhoods. "It's what you have done to put youths and your own children in the best possible position to be useful societal citizens."
The former YWCA president and Project for Advancement of Childhood Education board director was honoured with the Excellence in Science Award.
For his part, Canadian-born Dr. Wong – who lived in Jamaica for two years with his parents before the family returned to Canada – was proud to be the Youth Achievement Award recipient.
"I didn't have to look too far for role models and I am delighted to be following in the footsteps of my parents who are paediatricians," said Wong who represented Jamaica in swimming at the 2006 Central American Games, the 2007 Pan Am Games and International Swimming Federation (FINA) world championships in Manchester and Rome.
Arnold Auguste, the founding publisher of Share – Canada's largest ethnic weekly newspaper serving the Black and West Indian community for the past 38 years – was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
"When Michael (Van Cooten) called me last December from Guyana where he was vacationing, it didn't take me a long time to say yes," said Auguste who started the newspaper out of his apartment. "I am aware of the fact that Michael and his team reach out to people who we don't normally hear about and bring them to the forefront. They have a very good track record of choosing award recipients and tonight is no exception. I am humbled to be in their presence."
Thando Hyman, the Afrocentric Alternative School's first principal, was the recipient of the Excellence in Education Award.
"In a time when there was controversy, we sowed seeds of excellence at that school," she said. "In a time when there was scepticism, we ensured student achievement in excellence."
Other award winners were real estate investor, Isaac Olowolafe Sr.; community worker, Ned Blair; Public Prosecution Service of Canada counsel and Canadian Association of Black Lawyers founding president, Sandy Thomas; Natural Path Integrated Health Care Centre physician, Dr. Richard Dodd; media practitioner and Ryerson University visiting professor, Marci Ien; Health Canada (Ontario Region) information management unit supervisor, Felicia London; Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Dubourg; Correctional Service Canada chaplain, Imam Michael Abdur Rashid Taylor; Canada's first female hockey star and Hall-of-Famer, Angela James; Toronto District School Board principal, Patrick Knight and former Ontario Premier Bob Rae.

Vacation Plans
We are planning a visit to the Philadelphia area for this fall. It will be my first time in the area which is extrodinary considering that I have been married to a Philly native for 26 years! Because his parents had retired and moved to Florida by the time we were married, there's never been any trips "back home" for us.
We are going to attend a wedding in New Jersey and I want to visit New Castle Delaware and Philadelphia. I have ancestral connections, on my dad's side, to New Castle (in the 1600's) and I want to see the liberty bell and independence hall. Jerry wants to do some visiting in Pennsylvania so not sure if we will have time for Atlantic city or Valley Forge (or Gettysburg).
I'm excited because this will all be new for me. Anyone else have suggestions on must see places in the area? I ordered visitor's guide but they are both kinda shopping oriented.

There was abruptly nothing we did not like about this hotel. Nice clean and well kept. If we do make another trip out we will be staying there again.
6.5Opinia od
Room was clean and efficient. No problems whatsoever Fitness room opens at 7 a.m. Not enough time to use it prior to stepping out to go to work. Better to open at 6 a.m. Very disappointed.

Disclaimer: Don't own Gossip Girl
Warning: Season 4 spoilers and speculation ahead!
The Cardinal Rule
"You're going back to him." Dan is succinct, cuts no corners. Games have never been his thing, anyways.
Sitting in front of him, cross-legged on a Central Park bench, is Blair Waldorf. Her hands are tearing pieces of a stale croissant while her lips remain sealed.
Dan fidgets in his stance, the wispy June breeze rippling the hem of his vintage tee. He hates that he's here, attempting to rationalize the illogical. In his eyes, Chuck and Blair have been done for a long time. Should have been done for a long time.
Dan doesn't quite get Blair's motives, but he wants to, and so, shuffling around the bench, he takes a seat beside the stiff brunette and tries again. "Why, Blair? Make me understand."
The croissant, now shredded like a fraudulent credit card, lies in even portions on her lap. Blair looks down at her handiwork, dark spiral curls draping her face like a heavy curtain.
The writer in Dan doesn't miss the simile, and he yearns to pry open the closed vault that is Blair. Fueled by curiosity (and betrayal and anger, if he's being honest), Dan's hand darts out and tucks Blair's hair behind a reddened ear.
When Blair suddenly whips her head to the side to meet his stare, Dan realizes she's blushing maddeningly. "It's no longer your business what –or whom – I do, Humphrey." Blair spits the last word out like spoiled fruit, prompting Dan to flinch.
Still, he presses. He presses because he cares, because he hurts. "You're making a bad decision, Blair. After all we had together, not to mention all he put you through, you're just gonna – gonna cave to Chuck?" Dan shakes his head, point emphasized.
Blair abruptly drops her gaze and tosses a piece of the croissant on the lush green grass. "It's not caving if I want to do it. Besides," she mutters, tone drenched with disdain. "you were the one that hopped back on the Serena train the minute she arrived back from her intrastate adventure."
Dan's been ready for Blair to throw that punch. "Serena and I will always have a bond, Blair. Just like you and Chuck. That's the way it is. But the truth is, I didn't 'hop back' on anything, and you know it," Dan deflects. "You should know it, because if I recall, you were the one to so delightfully inform me that her and Ben eloped."
Blair blinks impassively, throws another section of stale croissant. "If they hadn't, you would've gone back to her. You would have chosen Serena. Everyone chooses Serena." Slowly, Blair tilts her head and looks at Dan. Sunlight hits dark eyes, sparking little flecks of amber in Blair's left iris. She laughs bitterly. "I was naïve to think I was anything more to you than something to do while you waited – as usual – for her. I'm going back to Chuck because he's the only thing that's mine. He's all I've got. I gave up on you."
And like a cross-hook from Muhammad Ali, Blair's words deliver a knock-out blow. The air rushes from Dan's lungs, his head spins, and the vibrant hues of the world seem to be fading to a foggy gray. "No," he chokes out, the babbling idiot in him coming out in full-force. "That's not how I – No. Just – just no."
Dan wishes he could come up with something a little more eloquent, but he's dumbfounded by Blair's words. Doesn't she see that she's his air? Doesn't she understand how much she balances him? How much color she brings to his life?
This time, Blair whips the stale pastry furiously, startling a curious sparrow. "No what, Humphrey? I haven't got time to sit and listen to you stumble over your words like a news anchor with a lobotomy."
Dan struggles to find the right words. He's a writer – this should be easy, right?
Blair huffs at Dan's silence. "I knew it. Empty words from an empty brain. You know what, Humphrey? Let's just forget we ever happened? You can watch from afar as Serena lives in domestic bliss with Professor Statutory, while I'm sipping on bellinis in Florence with Chuck."
Dan blinks in disbelief. Does she really think she was going to get her simple love with the psychiatrist's dream that is Chuck Bass?
Unnerved by his reaction, Blair adds defensively, "Chuck loves me."
"I love you!" Dan shouts, neglecting the "think before one acts" rule.
Blair's shoulders jump, startled. "Love? Humphrey, have you been buying from Damien, because I –"
Holding a hand up, Dan cuts her off, chest heaving. He needs to get this out. "Just listen, Blair. Please." Dan pauses to gauge Blair's reaction, and finds relief in the softening of her stony face.
He continues, "You're gorgeous and loyal and probably the smartest person I've ever met. You brought something to my life that I didn't even know I was missing. With you, the world – my world -was right. The way it should be, you know?"
Heat creeps up the back of his neck, and Dan imagines that Blair's next reaction will be laughter and a jibe about soap opera dialogue. Naturally, Dan's surprised when the only thing Blair does is curve her lips up into a small, tentative smile.
"Blair, look," Dan starts again, this time keeping his gaze focused solely on beautiful brunette seated beside him. "I understand why the thought of Serena makes you uneasy. I do. What you need to understand is that Serena and me? We've run our course. You see, when something's over, you just know it. And when it came to Serena, I knew way before her and Ben eloped. Sure, I had residual feelings for her, and that's why I was so upset when you told me what Serena did. Still though, you can't tell me you wouldn't react the same way if Chuck had eloped with, I don't know, Raina."
Blair sighs, wrings her hands. "He would never. Chuck went to jail for me."
"Chuck should have gone to jail for trading you for a hotel," Dan counters bluntly. He doesn't mean to bring up the past, but if there's one thing that he considers unforgivable, it's the way Chuck had exploited Blair's love.
Blair uncrosses her legs, twisting her torso to face Dan. Her fingers grip the top of the bench for dear life. "This is too much right now," she confesses, her words a breath above a whisper. "I don't know what to do."
Running a hand through his dark locks, Dan lets out a sigh. "It's your call, Blair. You know what I'd like you to do, but what I want doesn't really matter in this situation."
"I know," Blair murmurs despondently.
Dan reaches out, wraps an arm around Blair's shoulders, lets her melt against his body under the summer sun. They sit in silence for several minutes, before Dan hears Blair's quiet voice pierce the air. "You're a risk, Humphrey. At least I know what Chuck is capable of."
"The biggest risks can pay off if you play your cards right," Dan says, hoping he's not coming off as too insistent.
"Mmm," Blair sighs noncommittally, closing her eyes in thought.
Suddenly, a brilliant red cardinal lands on the grass in front of the bench. It stretches, fluttering its wings, before pecking at one of the croissant pieces that Blair had thrown earlier. As Dan watches the bird inattentively, he recalls his mother telling him as a child that cardinals brought good luck to those who wished upon them.
Yeah right, Dan thinks. To him, the notion is as ridiculous now as it had been fifteen years ago. Still, as Blair shifts in his arm and drops a soft hand to his thigh, Dan decides a little superstition couldn't possibly hurt.
Two weeks later, when Serena is crying and Chuck is belligerent and Blair is standing proudly at his side. Dan can't help but think that maybe his mom hadn't been all that nuts back in the day. After all, he's not a superstitious guy, but Dan knows a wish come true when he sees one.
AN: I've been super busy lately, but I've had this one-shot written since last week and wanted to put it up. Hope you guys enjoyed, and I'll catch up on messages and such early on in the week!

Ground Zero April 2010 – looking out of the Walkway from the Winter Garden leading through to the World Financial Center
April 2010
New York City
… there are so many conflicting emotions when you visit this site – on one hand it's a flurry of construction activity, workers and machinery – like any other building site…people busily going about their lives all around….but the underlying tragedy cannot be masked… there are pockets of people at any given vantage point just standing and staring….some for long long periods of time…some in complete silence…watching and remembering…trying to visualise…trying to match the indelibly saturated media images to where they are presently standing…. and you can't… it's unfathomable… you try.. but you can't hear the screams.. smell the smoke.. feel the heat…see the pure hell that must have ensued…. for days, months and years… and like millions around the world… you walk away asking simply…. why?
…and then, upon leaving the site, feeling quite numb.. New York City has way of quickly devouring you, snapping you back into the here and now and tumbling you out into the frantic and frenized streets of this most brilliant and resiliant city!!!

I just picked this one up today. It's a non-bbc, pre zone start Suzuki..I'm guessing mid 80's..
is it 4.5hp ?
I have no clue. I imagine it MIGHT be 4.5 hp.. But I don't know for sure. The dude owns a OPE repair shop, he said take it away.. Like I said, He said it may have tranny probs, but I bet the engine will run well with a little work, it's got excellent compression. Here's some more pix..
Model #22035
Ser.# 4004388
I'm just wondering how old it is because I hope I can still get any and all parts to fix the tranny, etc. I don't know If Toro does stupid stuff like changing parts around just for the heck of it, like Auto Mgfr's.
It's really not in too bad shape, and sure looks worth fixin'..
You should be able to get the exact age and engine make from this page. The older Toros are great mowers..let us know what you find out. I'm guessing 1980-83
Look here:https://lookup2.toro.com/partdex/index.cfm?xCaller=Toro
You sure were close.. It's an 84'.. Cool! So I presume it is a 4.5 hp? I didn't even know the Suzuki was sold in more than one rating..
My brother ,bought one like that one in 89 rated at 5.0 .We used it in our business from 96 to 04.
I was close..it's an '84

wow memories. My parents had one just like that when I was younger. I guess it was around 85 or so. Hope it runs well for ya.
I'll Be Spewing Pollution w/My Suzukis For Years to Come..& I'm adding Some 2 Cycle Engine Oil to my New 4 Stroke Proline Montrosities Just for Spite.
RIP Suzuki
And yeah Fareway, I'll be using mine until I've rebuilt it a dozen times, just out of spite for the E.P.A. .. I'll post what all it takes to get er going..

Chit Chatting with Pastor/Author Tabitha Caplinger
Written by Jill Sheets
Recently, I had the honor of interviewing an amazing pastor, author, and overall wonderful woman, Tabitha Caplinger. She is the author of the TCO3 trilogy, which I cannot wait to read. Read on and hear her advice if you have walked away from God, her books, and what #LiveChosen means.
R: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
T: I don't want to just ramble out my standard bio, so…I'm a wife, mom, youth pastor, and author. I'm also a confessed TV addict. I spend most days in Tabitha Caplingermy pajamas, writing and drinking coffee. Also, I like to think I'm pretty awesome (I tend to think everyone is pretty awesome in their own way).
R: How did you decide to get into student ministry? What is the best thing about it?
T: My dad was a pastor. I'd like to say that I had this super inspiring calling experience, but in reality, I didn't want to have anything to do with vocational ministry, so I pushed the idea of it out of my mind and ran away to a secular college for two semesters. God, being patient and gracious, kept speaking to my heart and showing me His purposes for my life. Eventually, I realized nothing outside of His will was going to make me happy and fulfilled, so I relented. The cool thing now is looking back and seeing how God redeemed those two semesters and is currently using them in my ministry (I was a creative writing major, though I had never once thought of being a writer prior to college. Now I'm a pastor and an author!).
R: You are also an ordained minister. How did that come about?
T: The moment I really yielded my will to God's and began to walk out the call to student ministry, I knew I wanted to be credentialed as a minister–not for the title, but the training. I am ordained with the Assemblies of God. The classes involved in getting ordained are challenging, but they teach you so much about ministry and about God's Word. I am also so thankful to be part of a fellowship that values women as equal so that I could become ordained. It was a super cool experience. My husband and I were ordained at the same time and my father surprised us by getting to be the minister who prayed over us at the service.
R: It is not easy being a teen. What advice would you give a teenager who has turned away from God and Jesus?
T: I would say to give Him another chance. I've been doing student ministry for a lot of years and those that started out with Jesus and turned away either went through something difficult and grew angry at God, or they never really had a personal relationship with Him to begin with (I'm not trying to cast everyone in general categories because our struggles and situations are all unique, but I think a lot boils down to these two arenas.). But while we may walk away from God, He never walks away from us. He is right there, waiting for us to just see Him, to reach out a hand for him. So give Him another chance, a real effort, ask Him to reveal Himself, to speak to you. I believe with all my heart that He will. And don't confuse people with Jesus. Often we limit God by only seeing him in the light of other Christians. Look for Him, the real Him.
R: Tell us about your book The Chronicle of the Three: Bloodline.
T: Basically, it's some pretty cool and sassy girls who fight demons and are trying to save the world. There is also a stoic angel and pie.
R: How did you come up with the ideas for your books? What is your writing process?
T: This book was a dream. That might sound clichéd, but it's true. I woke up with this idea. Actually, it started with a vision of The Chronicle and the story just went from there. As for the writing process, I am an outliner first. My initial outlines are pretty broad and basic, and then as I go they get more specific. I do like to be flexible, though. More than once, my characters have gone off-script, and that has led to some of my favorite scenes.
R: Where can people get your books?
T: Amazon is a good place to start. Bloodline is available to order in both paperback and digital in other places online. You can even walk into your local bookstore and they can probably order it for you. I am waiting for the day it makes the Barnes & Noble shelves.
R: What advice do you have for someone who wanted to become a writer?
T: Write. Sit down and do the work. Even if you don't have the whole book laid out, it's okay–just start somewhere. Also, do your homework on the publishing and marketing process. There is a lot I have learned along the way that I wish I had known earlier. Writing the book is just the beginning.
R: Tell us about the book The Chronicle of the Three: Armor Bearer. When will this book be released?
T: Armor Bearer is the continuation of the TCO3 trilogy. It picks up a little while after Bloodline ends and we get to dive a little deeper into Claire's history and Zoe's present. Some new characters appear, too, which is always fun. And you don't have to wait for it because Armor Bearer was released February 7, 2017!
R: Do you plan on writing more books?
T: Yes! I am finishing the third book in the TCO3 trilogy right now but I have two other book ideas that are swirling around in my brain. I can only focus on one story at a time, so as soon as Book Three is sent off to the publisher to get the process started, I will being outlining the next book, which I am really looking forward to.
R: Tell our readers about your blog.
T: My blog is like my brain, a little all over the place. I write about what's on my mind that month. Some posts are funny and some are serious. Some are about writing or my books. Some are about my kids. Some are about Jesus. It's a good way to get to know me because it's just me, my thoughts on the page.
R: Other than this one, what is the strangest question you have ever been asked?
T: This might be it! I get asked what my favorite type of pie is a lot…or how I like my tacos. Doing an interview in character as Claire from Bloodline, I (or she) was asked what shoes she was wearing.
R: What is #LiveChosen?
T: For over 15 years of youth ministry I have discipled young women. After writing Bloodline, I put together a devotional resource that is its companion, Daughters Arise. But I didn't feel like it was enough. I want the stories I write to open conversations about our relationship with God. I was reading Girls with Swords by Lisa Bevere one day and praying about how I could take the ministry part of all this one step further and #LiveChosen flashed in my mind. My TCO3 characters get branded with the word "chosen" after slaying their first demon. While we won't slay any physical demons, we do have purpose–we are chosen. #LiveChosen is my initiative to help young women learn to live for their purpose on purpose. I have some resources on my website for girls and leaders and I have several #LiveChosen videos on my YouTube channel. (If you don't mind watching me talk about Jesus in my kitchen or bedroom.)
R: Are you on any social networking sites? Which ones and what are their address? Do you have an official website?
T: I am on all of them. Probably not really but a lot of them.
My website is tabithacaplinger.com and it links to all my social media.
R: Anything else you would like to add or say to your readers?
T: Just that you are chosen, powerful, loved, and never alone.
Chatting with Author Laila Jackson
R: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
L: My name is Laila Lee Jackson and I'm a total dork. I couldn't survive without my family and, in my opinion, animals are better than people. I am sixteen years old and I started writing back when I was ten. I am very passionate about reading, which I have enjoyed since about third grade when I discovered the Harry Potter series. After finding Harry Potter I started reading more and more. I eventually stumbled across Percy Jackson and the Olympians and fell in love. With books and the stories that came to life with just a few words, I decided that I wanted to share my own stories with the world, so I started writing. It didn't start off well. I was a decent writer, but I couldn't give my stories any real substance. Finally, after basically moving across the state, I found not only my incredible friends, but an idea that came to life and after four years, I finally had the story I'd always dreamed of.
R: What is your book about?
L: I've never been good at summarizing a story, but I'll give it my best shot. My story is about a girl who discovers she isn't quite normal. Her soul is not her own, but rather shared with that of an ancient Greek goddess. One day, alongside Dakota Greene, Whitney Clarkson (the girl) stumbles across a magical clearing and awakens the goddess, as well as the souls of eleven other ancient deities from several different cultures. Whitney and eleven others are whisked away from the mortal world and sent on an outrageous quest that they can't expect to survive. Between running from monsters of myth and magical beings that deceive the eye, as well as trying to keep her friends alive, (even at the expense of her own life) she discovers that everyone wears a mask and the difficulty of seeing through it. While that is the basic plot, there is much, much more to the story. Hopefully everyone can discover the world of Whitney Clarkson as she attempts to beat the gods.
R: Who are your biggest inspirations?
L: When it comes to my writing, my greatest inspirations are Rick Riordan and J.K. Rowling. Rowling managed to give me an unquenchable thirst for reading. Riordan turned that thirst into a fiery passion and a craving to make my own own mark on the literary world. His works made me push myself and developed my dreams of sharing my own stories with the world some day. In life, some of my greatest inspirations and influences are my parents. My mom, whose mantra in life is probably "walk it off," is one of the strongest people I know. My dad, tough on the outside, but softer than your favorite blanket on the inside, pushes me to always be the best I can be. I love them and honestly, I probably wouldn't survive without them. My influences would also include my teachers and coaches. They are literally there everyday. They know when to praise and when to give constructive criticism. They help me to grow as a student and an athlete, but also as a person.
R: I heard that you are also into sports. What sports do you play?
L: I run cross country and play basketball, but my heart belongs to softball. Cross country constantly challenges my mental strength. I used to despise running. It was the absolute worst. However, my freshman year I succumbed to peer pressure and joined the cross country team, where my coach taught me how to love running. Basketball challenges my physical strength and sometimes leaves me worse for wear. I mean, a girl my age who is as athletic and healthy as I am shouldn't already have aches and pains that make her hobble around like an old lady. I played basketball for a few years when I was younger, but then stopped until my freshman year when I joined the high school team. I worked incredibly hard and pushed myself and I finally made split team, where I had the privilege to play with varsity. I have played softball for as long as I can remember. It was a game I fell head-over-heels in love with. Eventually, my family moved to a small town in northern Nevada at the end of my fifth grade year. I continued to play and then at the end of my eighth grade year, one of the other softball player's dad put together a travel team, the Wells Rage. Now, before that summer I was an average player. I wasn't incredibly good, but I wasn't the absolute worst. I understood the game better than most others, but my ability was lacking. After that summer I grew and I turned from average to above average. I had talent, but with good coaching and hard work I developed skill. Now I'm hoping to continue my softball through high school and at the next level.
R: Do you have an official website or any social media?
L: I do not have an official website or Facebook page, though we are looking into getting one. The Kingdom of Fire is available on Lulu, which is a self-publishing site. It is also available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
R: What advice would you give to other young writers?
L: All I can tell them is to just keep writing. Find a topic you're really passionate about and just write. I never brainstormed anything. I did research, but once I pulled up my book I just typed. I lost myself in the story and let myself become a part of it because I cared about it so much. The most important part is to not give up. I have given up on a lot of stories because I couldn't figure out how to start them or end them or transition to the next chapter. But I finally found a topic that I was so passionate about I couldn't ever imagine giving up on it. I would also advise that you don't look at any past work with regret that you didn't finish. Don't look at it and only see the mistakes. The more you write the better you get. Without my own failures in the past, I never would have grown into a writer. I never would have dreamed that one day I would have a published book. But because of perseverance and dedication, I do.
Chit Chatting with Poet Nakada Wilson
I recently had the honor of interviewing poet Nakada Wilson, author of the book Girl Poems. Read on to learn more about her, her book of poems, and her goals for the future.
R: Tell us about yourself and how you got started writing poetry.
N: I started writing poetry once I realized that lashing out and being disruptive was not only alienating, but an inadequate way to express my anger. Bottling up my emotions wasn't healthy or helpful, so I started to use the journal my mom had given me. However, simply writing down my feelings felt tedious and dull. I put a spin on the writings and that resulted in metaphors and rhythmic sentence structures–poetry. Through words, I'm able to pinpoint why I'm feeling what I'm feeling in a moment, and see on paper what's really going on in my mind. Putting pen to paper turns the chaos in my mind to order. I can relinquish the chaos through a controlled medium so that I don't have to hurt anyone or myself.
R: Tell us about your book Girl Poems.
N: Girl Poems is about the essence of femininity through my eyes. Girl Poems is about accepting a role that leans towards conforming, but giving in because it's accessible and because there are things to enjoy and take pleasure in, regardless of the simplicity. I chose a few poets to make contributions in Girl Poems as well, whom I felt clearly understood the message.
R: How did you come up with the idea for this book?
N: I titled the book before I filled its pages because I knew what I was going for. My poetry, as a whole, hasn't much to do with girls, just aspects of the human condition in general. So, adhering to the "girl" theme in Girl Poems meant digging through an old notebook I had utilized in while living with five other girls in a dorm at school. At that time more than any other, I had been questioning gender roles and exploring what it meant to be a girl. I, like most people, am blended with both masculine and feminine aspects. In Girl Poems, I simply zeroed in on the feeling of what femininity meant to me.
R: Do you have a favorite poem?
N: It's hard to pinpoint just one favorite poem, but one that stood out to me recently is Red by Fatimah Asghar. "You'll feel tin in my bones and think you are making love to a copper woman." That line really sticks with me.
R: For people who have not read the book yet, how would you describe your writing?
N: It's difficult to describe my writing because it's up to the readers to interpret the style. If I can be as objective as possible, though, I'd say it has dark undertones made indulgent by the use of flowery language.
R: Do you have any future goals on writing more books?
N: Absolutely. I plan on publishing a novel in the future. I write short stories often, and plan on either turning one of those into a novel, or starting up a completely new idea.
R: Where can people get your book?
N: Amazon
R: I read that you are also a director. Is that true? If so, what have you directed?
N: I wouldn't quite call myself a director. I created a few shorts before I caught the acting bug when I moved to a big city last year. Who wouldn't want to be a Hollywood director, though? That'd be awesome.
R: What has been your biggest influence?
N: My biggest influence on my writing stems from the music I listen to more than anything. Bands like Katatonia and Massive Attack are very poetic in their lyrics, and you can often find me listening to them while writing.
R: What are some of your future goals?
N: My dream is to get married and have a few kids. No, I'm joking. Seriously, I'd like to have the resources to create whatever unconventional idea I have in mind and see it play out on the screen.
R: What are five things people may not know about you?
N: I'm a metalhead, I prefer large dogs to small ones, I believe in ghosts, I find bruises and scars cooler than tattoos, and I enjoy spending time in the woods during autumn.
R: What advice would you give someone who wanted to become a poet?
N: Just start writing. Allow that filter of self-protectiveness to slide off in the moment and become one with yourself and whatever you're feeling. Don't worry about how it will come across, just be raw and indiscriminate towards your words. Only once you've finished and care to edit should you judge your structure or words.
R: Other than this one, what is the strangest question you have ever been asked?
N: I was at a rock show with my mom and sisters and while I was outside, this guy on the street came up to me and asked me if this children's book he was holding belonged to me. I said yes but he kept it anyway, explaining that it was actually for his daughter.
R: Are you on any social networking sites? If so, which ones and what are their addresses? Do you have an official website and/or YouTube page?
N: I don't have an official website, but I am on Instagram and Twitter as @NakadaWilson.
R: Is there anything else you would like to add?
N: Sure. Even though the book is titled Girl Poems, I think that regardless of gender, anyone feeling boxed in within a certain title will relate. While editing the poems, I infused even the darkest of poems with something to look forward to or feel good about. Life can be depressing, but it's short and something of a gift. It's important to find something enjoyable or pleasurable out of it. Finding beauty in the depth of darkness is magnetic and inspiring enough to bring anyone fully to light.
R: Nakada, thank you for the interview. It was an honor. Have a great day.
