WASHINGTON: The ISI chief asks CIA's station manager in Islamabad to leave Pakistan because he thinks the American spy agency is running a clandestine network in his country.
"Let me state the question as clearly as I can, sir: Is the United States sending intelligence officers into Pakistan outside the normal CIA cover channels? Is your agency doing it? Or is some other agency doing it? That is what I want to know: Are you running a new game against us?" asks the ISI chief in a meeting with the station manager at the ISI headquarters.
"You know I can't answer a question like that. I mean, hell, we run all sorts of operations, declared and undeclared, just like you do," replies the CIA's local boss, Homer Barkin.
"If I told you that we had no other presence in Pakistan, and no non-official officers, you know I'd be lying. But that's business, right? We don't look up your skirt, and we don't expect you to start looking up ours."
The quotes are from a novel, "Bloodmoney", by The Washington Post's associate editor David Ignatius.
Commenting on Mr Ignatius's disclaimer that his was "a work of fiction", another author, Dan Fesperman, writes: "Plenty of readers will react to that claim with a nudge and a wink."
"For better and for worse, you emerge from its pages as if from a top-level security briefing — confident that you have been let in on the deepest secrets," says Mr Fesperman, an author of seven novels.
And there are plenty of reasons for this claim. Mr Ignatius is perhaps the only American journalist who has access to the higher echelons of both the ISI and CIA.
He has visited the ISI headquarters more than once and with its help also visited Waziristan. The CIA too has given Mr Ignatius similar access to its sources and assets. So nobody is better qualified than him to talk about clandestine CIA operations in Pakistan.
"When I wrote the book, I knew that there were unauthorised, undisclosed CIA operations in Pakistan," says Mr Ignatius.
"Anybody who spends any time covering this beat as I do finds that out."
Mr Ignatius says that the more he thought about these clandestine operations, the more it seemed like a metaphor for the relationship between the US and Pakistan: "Each of us sneaking up on the other. The US not trusting the Pakistanis, they not trusting us. Each having good reason for the mistrust."
In 'Bloodmoney', Mr Ignatius imagines that the CIA, unable to carry out clandestine operations around the globe, creates a whole new secret wing — hiding behind a Los Angeles entertainment front called "Hit Parade". Its aim is to buy peace in Fata, "warlord by warlord".
And to cover its expenses the Hit Parade fudges with the stocks market, making billions. Mr Ignatius says the case of CIA contractor Raymond Davis — who was arrested and released after a payment of blood money — eerily paralleled some of the plotlines of his book. In January, Mr Davis shot and killed two Pakistanis on the street in Lahore.
"Here's this real-life CIA contractor," Mr Ignatius says, "who is arrested by the Pakistanis, who it turns out is part of a whole capability not known to the American public (and) not known previously to Pakistan. At the end of the day, he's released through a payment of blood money."
In an interview to the National Public Radio, America's largest radio network, Mr Ignatius defines how the CIA and the ISI work with each other. "The ISI is always playing both sides of the fence," he says. But "it's not really very different from the way the United States behaves. We conduct joint operations with the ISI but there's a lot that we don't tell them" — or don't tell them until it's too late. Take, for example, the policy of concurrent notification, he says. "Concurrent meaning after the missile has been fired, and the target has been incinerated on the ground," Mr Ignatius says, "we're telling (Pakistan) what we just did".
The CIA, he adds, "has the authority to conduct operations that the government will then deny ever took place".
But the book is not just about the CIA-ISI relationship. The motivating force behind the book seems to be the author's desire to have a closer look at another clandestine operation: the drone strikes in Fata.
In another interview to the Dian Rehm Show, one of the most popular radio programmes in the US, Mr Ignatius says the question that whether the drone strikes were morally right has been haunting him over the past several years, and is one of his main reasons for writing this book. "[The drones] allow you to kill people from 10,000 feet, which seems, to our public, I think wrongly, less bloody than if we did it right up close standing next to someone with a gun," he says.
Mr Ignatius's main character, Omar al-Wazir, is a modern, well-educated and well-travelled Pakistani from Waziristan. He sees his whole family killed as the result of a Predator drone attack. "This is a book about revenge — it's about his revenge against the people who killed his family, it's about our revenge against the people who killed so many of our fellow citizens on September 11, 2001. It's about this cycle of revenge that we've gotten caught up in," he said.
After seeing his family killed in such a brutal way, Mr al-Wazir's life changes dramatically, and his quest for revenge encourages him to devise and execute a plan that leads to the deaths of half a dozen clandestine CIA operatives.
One of Mr Ignatius's challenges that he set for himself in writing the book is to try to "see this war from the eyes of the people under our bombs, which is not something we normally do".

You forgot to mention that they remember where a loved one died years earlier and will stop there for a while and then continue on their way
Can you also make a video on how riding elephants as a tourist attraction should be stopped? Kinda disappointed that it was in the beginning of the video to be honest.
Ca-Ching? Since when is forced animal entertainment astonishing and something that we should awe at? Beating an unnatural skill into a helpless animal should NOT be commended.
I love elephants!! They are my favorite animal :)
How about it's predicted within the next TEN years African Elephants will be extinct in the wild or how it's cruel to go to Thailand and sit on the back of an elephant or how it's still legal in some countries to have elephants in circuses where they suffer abuse and are left with psychosis? This could have been more educational
Whoever watching this video isn't watching the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight lmao
Also need to mention how riding them damages their backs and how in Asia they are ripped from their mothers as babies chained down and beaten for weeks on end to break their will so they will submit to their masters so tourists can ride them or see them 'dance'.
Can i be an elephant and eat 300 pounds a day? Lol
They are highly intelligent, morn their dead and need to be with family. They are slaughtered daily and imprisoned for sideshows and Lord knows what else.....
You guys should do a video about elephant poaching informing people these amazing animals will be extinct in the wild in 20 years if we cannot reduce the demand for their tusks. On average ~96 elephants a day are killed for ivory, or ~35,000 a year.
They have excellent memories. And baby elephants can throw tantrums just like toddlers 😘#loveelephants
It's scary how many times in this thread someone has written that maybe elephants "like giving rides to humans". Wow.
Should have been a stat on how fast they will be extinct due to Asian demand for ivory.
Aubrey Newman you probably already know all these facts but I figured you'd like to see a video of ellies lol 🐘
Thank you to the people who actually have an understanding about the #truthaboutelephants.
Elephants are NOT made to ride, paint pictures or do circus tricks.
See for yourself. Do some research. #Boycottcircuses
P.s BuzzFeed get a clue.
I love elephants :)
I so love 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘💕💕
Nice to meet you too Mr elephant.
An elephant herd "family" is close for life!!! They love the protected each other. they mourn each other even other animals that have passed for days and protect the body from scavengers until the soul has moved on. Elephants are everything I wish I had growing up!!! I love them so much I have tattoos of them!!!
22 months pregnancy! Thats insane!
A lot of you people post comments about this Elephant abuse. Shut up. It's annoying.
Lady get the hell off of the elephant. Okay continue
ahhhhh elephants!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤I love them!
Read Leaving Time by Jodi Picoult
You forgot to also mention that they will probably be extinct in the next 10 years. We need to cherish them while they're still here.
They also never forget .
Did my learning for the day.
the elephants that paint things are usually forced to paint and if they don't perform well, they end up getting beat.
Love them, my favorite!!!!! <3
love the giants
Elephants are cool
Ultra cool 😎
Elephants have to be my favorite animal. They are so sweet, and incredibly smart. I met one up close and yeah she didn't have the most pleasant of smells, but she was really sweet
The elephants at my local zoo paint. You can watch them every day and buy their paintings in the gift shop :)

Andrea!!! Minus the part about the artistic elephant. I'd heard some time ago that he was trained (and not necessarily in a nice way). But ain't it cool that BuzzFeed has educational stuff? Maybe this will help inspire the general public.
I love them ❤ :3

Alisher Usmanov calls for Arsenal to sign Man United's Wayne Rooney in a CNBC interview
Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov has spoken to CNBC about his wish for the Gunners sign Wayne Rooney from Manchester United this summer.
Usmanov's Red and White Holdings owns 29.9 per cent of Arsenal, whilst Stan Kroenke boasts a 66.7 per cent share of the Premier League club and the Uzbek has no say currently at all at the Emirates.
In an interview with the American broadcaster, Usmanov, Arsenal's second biggest shareholder, first discussed how he would not involve himself in speculation over the transfer or purchase of players, only to immediately contradict himself by talking up a move for Rooney.
Usmanov told CNBC:
Arsene knows better than me what should be done. Of course, we as shareholders point to some drawbacks in the management of the club but he is a great coach and the club is progressing in the commercial sense.
He is a great player and [joining Arsenal] would be great for Rooney, and Arsenal too.
Usmanov has a long standing media relationship with CNBC after the Uzbeki billionaire told the network back in December 2012 of his "dream" to control the Premier League club and what he would do should such a situation ever arise.
Claims that Arsenal are chasing Wayne Rooney are nothing new, after The Guardian splashed the backpage of their broadsheet with the inviting headline "Arsenal can afford to sign Rooney, claims bold Gazidis" at the start of June 2013.
Wayne Rooney played 37 games for club and country last season, scoring 22 goals and chalking up 14 assists.
Video of all Wayne Rooney's goals for Manchester United in 2012-13 can be seen below.

According to (most of) my friends' Facebook pages and Instagram accounts, they have some pretty perfect family vacations. And I fully admit I typically only share the best of the best of my pictures here on the blog and on my social media accounts. (I don't think there are any shots of me with triple chins anywhere on the Internet. If there are, let me know.) We moms generally tell vacation tales of exciting outdoor adventures, yummy family restaurant dinners, magical hotel stays, and sublime pool relaxation.
But let's be honest, shall we?
Family travel ain't always pretty.
There are (many) times my family got horribly lost in an unfamiliar city. When kids have cried uncontrollably on airplanes. When the budget hotel I booked was so utterly horrible (dirty, hot), we moved out the next day. When flat tires, delayed planes, closed restaurants, and emergency room visits have marred family trips.
But that's all part and parcel of the chaos that typically accompanies family travel.
Sometimes family travel can be (amusingly) frustrating. Vacation Gal Beth Blair shares that just this year her tween-age son racked up $75 in arcade expenditures via his cruise stateroom key. Sometimes family travel can be a bit scary — like when Jen Miner's preschool-age daughter swallowed a coin on a vacation in Puerto Rico (she was just fine, after a visit to the ER). And sometimes the stories are simply icksville — like the time my son, age 7, puked in the pool at The Broadmoor, a super-luxe resort hotel. (We skulked outta there when the lifeguard blew the whistle to clear the area).
Frankly, I think these stories of mishaps make the best stories! These are the bloopers that will go down in family lore. To wit, my son's pool puke story comes up in dinner conversation at least annually.
Preferred Hotels & Resorts is embracing authentic family travel moments — the good, the bad, and the ugly — with a #FamilyTravelTruth Instagram contest. Travelers are encouraged to post photos on Instagram of their favorite family travel moments, past or present. Use the hashtags #FamilyTravelTruth and #contest in your photo caption, tag @PreferredHotels, and you could win a two-night family-friendly luxury hotel stay with Preferred Hotels & Resorts, as well as free photo prints from Artifact Uprising.
The contest ends August 23, so I'd post your photos on Instagram ASAP. (And feel free to tag @thevacationgals, too, so we can check them out!) All winners will be announced on Preferred Hotels & Resorts' Instagram page before August 31. Full rules and terms apply and are available at PreferredHotels.com/FamilyTravelTruth.
In between sharing your favorite pictures on Instagram with #FamilyTravelTruth, consider perusing Preferred Hotels' portfolio of more than 650 distinctive properties worldwide. In particular, Preferred Hotels & Resorts has carefully curated nearly 250 family-friendly hotels that go beyond the typical kids' club. These properties offer knowledgeable concierges who can recommend fun activities for guests of all ages, as well as a range of amenities to meet the unique needs of traveling families such as babysitting services, children's dining options and spa menus, on-site experiential programming such as language lessons and cooking classes, and spacious accommodations with multiple rooms and full kitchens.
Good luck!

Functional Forum Meetup: Brussels, Belgium
In this episode, we look at the transition from the first era of Functional Medicine to the next, which we're calling Functional Medicine 2.0. In the first era, practitioners were drawn Functional Medicine through personal experiences of themselves, friends, family or patients who had to search outside of the standard of care to solve their chronic problems. There were no best practices. It was difficult to work with insurance. It was difficult to make it work financially. Practitioners were on their own.
With a massive rise in interest, we're now entering the era of Functional Medicine 2.0. This new era is characterized by known best practices in structure and practice implementation, new technology that's being created to making the practice of Functional Medicine easier, and a huge uptick in numbers of practitioners who practice Functional Medicine. It's not just drawing the Naturopathic Doctors and Chiropractors, it's also, thousands of physicians and practitioners of all varieties moving towards Functional Medicine to rediscover their love for medicine.
In this episode, we welcome 3 incredible keynote speakers, all of whom have played a significant role in our evolution.
Firstly, Jeffrey Gladd MD, who set the vision of a nationwide network of community-based micropractices back in May 2014 on the Functional Forum. It's inspired the mission of our organization ever since.
We then welcome the unstoppable Terry Wahls MD as our second guest speaker. As well as a record TEDx talk, Dr. Wahls' incredible story has lead to "The Wahls Protocol" an accompanying Functional Medicine textbook. Her clinical work and at the University of Iowa continues to reaffirm that lifestyle is directly involved in reversing autoimmune disease. Dr. Wahls will discuss taking these lessons to the underserved.
Our third keynote, we welcome, National University of Health Science alumni, Dr. Tom O'Bryan. Dr. O'Bryan has been a Chiropractor for 30 years and is a leader in the Functional Medicine space. He's shown the way for the Evolution of Medicine to scale their efforts through creating the Gluten Summit back in November 2013. During this event, you'll get a preview of his next massive online event called Betrayal, which starts the same night.
We'll, also, be featuring other local practitioners including Kori Feldman, MD on our panel.

State of Kentucky Waste and Recycling Information to Know
Littering costs Kentucky residents millions of dollars
Put waste in its place. Although it's not a problem exclusive to Kentucky, litter affects the environment and the economy. In 2011 alone, it cost the State of Kentucky $7.7 million to clean-up litter in lakes, rivers and on the side of roadways.
Make sure debris from your next construction or renovation project ends up in a dumpster, and all of your trash makes it to the bin. If everyone were to make an effort to properly dispose of waste and debris, it would literally save tax payers millions of dollars each year.
E-waste is not banned from landfills in Kentucky
While about 20 states currently have legislation in place and 15 more are considering banning e-waste from landfills, Kentucky has no such ban in place (as of 2014). This means you can legally toss things like old computers, TVs and broken DVD players into your regular trash container or dumpster.
The State of Kentucky strongly encourages you to recycle e-waste whenever possible. Electronic devices contain levels of toxic materials, such as lead and mercury, which is hazardous to the environment.
***Kentucky does enforce recycling of large amounts of Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) displays because the EPA does classify this as hazardous material. CRT displays are the type used in older TVs and the first "bulky" type of computer monitors that hit the market in the 1990s.
Find a local e-scrap recycler in Kentucky
Recycling facility locations by county
There are dozens of places throughout Kentucky able to accept recyclable materials. You can access the most recent list of these recycling facilities from the Kentucky Division of Waste Management.
Where do I dispose of "_____" in Kentucky?
Things like compact fluorescent light bulbs, tires and batteries are toxic when disposed of improperly. The Kentucky DWM is a great resource for finding out the eco-friendly way of disposing of these types of materials.
Hazardous and special waste disposal information
Construction and demolition (C&D) debris should be dropped off at designated C&D landfills.
You can find a list of C&D landfills at the Division of Waste Management homepage, or access the list in an Excel spreadsheet.
Tips for renting a roll-off dumpster in Kentucky
5 most common dumpster styles
Commercial dumpsters – Businesses use these dumpsters for weekly or monthly garbage hauling service. They are not for temporary use.
Roll-off dumpsters – These are the containers you rent for temporary uses, such as household cleanouts, roofing projects or commercial construction.
Trailer dumpsters – Used by some dumpster rental companies, these trailers are used similarly to roll-off dumpsters but are different in that they are on wheels – this offers the benefit of being easier on your driveway.
Bag-style containers – These small bins are made from durable fabrics and plastics and range in size from 1 to 3 cubic yards and hold less than 2 tons of debris. The "Bagster" container is one such dumpster.
Lowboy dumpsters – Similar to traditional roll-off dumpsters but with low sides, making it ideal for loading heavier debris, such as dirt, roofing material, concrete, tiles and masonry.
Information about dumpster rental weight limits and overage charges
Dumpster rental providers typically put a cap on the amount of weight you can load into a dumpster due to the fact it costs them more money to dump heavier loads at local landfills. This weight limit can range from 1 ton (2,000 lbs.) to 8 tons (16,000 lbs.) or more.
Overage fees typically range between $50 per ton and $100 per ton. For example, if the weight allowance is 2,000 lbs. and your load weighs in at 2,500 lbs., you'd owe an additional 1 ton of overage charges at the $50 to $100 rate, or whatever rate your dumpster rental agreement specifies.
TIP: Be particularly careful of going over the allotted weight limit when dealing with heavier debris, such as concrete, roofing shingles, dirt or masonry.

Although we had a match today, all the Carling Cup Final talk about goalies and Arsenal got me thinking. Below are charts of Fulham's and the Sky Four's starting goalies since 2005-06 (or, the first season Arsenal began their current trophy-less streak). (Ed. if not embedded, just follow the link. Anyone know how to fix this?)
Considering the number of starts include every competition, and thus each team plays a different amount of games each season depending on their various domestic and international cup campaigns, the key is obviously the percentage(s). A high percentage often means stability. Stability often means success.
In each of Chelsea's and United's title winning season, their #1 goalie started just about 75% of the matches. Liverpool haven't won a title — they however did win an FA Cup and make an CL Final appearance in this span — yet they still sport a pretty damn good percentage with Reina. Meanwhile, Arsenal are looking at a fourth straight season of their #1 not even hitting that 75% threshold. Which is probably why they haven't won a title in this span nor made any final appearance since 2006.
For Fulham, just looking at the numbers shows this is really Schwarzer's job. Had he not gone to Qatar for the Asian Cup, his percentage could easily be above 85% this season. Although Stockdale has shown immense promise, and Mark is the biannual subject of transfer talk, we may miss him more than we think if he ever does leave.
Just to add a little context, I tried to think of a struggling team that has used a lot of goalies. But compiling all this data was a bit cumbersome, so I just used Derby's 2006-07 season to show the nadir. Boy were they a mess.

Clive Dunn, Corporal Jones from Dad's Army, dead at the age of 92
Clive Dunn, the actor best known for his portrayal of the doddering Corporal Jack Jones in Dad's Army, has died at the age of 92 after a short illness.
Dunn is thought to have been taken ill with pneumonia a few weeks ago, and died on Tuesday in Portugal, where he had lived for more than 20 years.
His knack for playing elderly men, which he began doing as a teenager, reached its zenith in his performance as Jones the butcher, who attempts uselessly to improve the Home Guard unit with his knowledge of Army life in the Sudan. He would invariably become flustered during each episode and shout his catchphrase: "Don't panic!"
The death of Dunn, who also starred in the children's television show…

San Francisco - Google's Chrome Web browser is gaining ground on Firefox and according to one industry tracker may even have eclipsed its open-source rival in the global market.Chrome was the world's second favourite web browsing programme in November, bumping Firefox from that position for the first month ever, according to StatCounter Global Stats.Google's Chrome had a 25.69% share of online browsing last month compared to 25.23% for Firefox, according to StatCounter. Firefox is managed by the non profit Mozilla Foundation.Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) remained the dominant web browser with 40.63% of the global market, the findings indicated."We can look forward to a fascinating battle between Microsoft and Google as the pace of growth of Chrome suggests that it will become a real rival to Internet Explorer globally," said StatCounter chief executive Aodhan Cullen.
Chrome is an excellent browser, lightning fast!
I'm also using it. Won't go back to internet explorer any time soon. firefox is also nice but a little cluttered.
Love firefox. Had some compatibility issues with avast anti virus after the latest upgrade.
Have switched from FF to Chrome since they added status info and (mostly) fixed automatic tiling ability with other open windows. Still some compatibility issues with certain apps and uploading/downloading to/from FTP sites needs to be fixed. Otherwise the speed and minimalist interface do it for me!
Chrome is good, but doesn't have the add ons of Firefox that I rely heavily upon.
I would say Chrome is the better option for the majority of surfers though.
The only thing standing in the way of Chrome kicking IE's @$$ is ignorance... as a web user and designer, I hope IE goes down in flames!
Down with IE and down with all the morons still using it!!!
Microsoft Internet Explorer is not the biggest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers
I also run a few websites and the visitor stats on my sites agree with the ones from Wikipedia. Strange.

Hi Tanty, they are very leggy, probably the result of too much warmth and fading light.
Sweet peas have long long roots so best to plant them in deeper containers. I'm trying my hand at sowing them in the autumn for the first time. I've sown mine in largish pots and they are in my cold frames at the moment.......no sign yet.
I'm a sucker for giving any seed that's germinated a chance, I would repot them into deep pots and bury their leggy stems as much as you can.......it doesn't matter if you bend the stem to get it in the pot ( just don't snap it). They will do so much better outside.
I have a few home made coldframes that are like the mini greenhouses but a lot more sturdier, I do all my growing in them.
I do start off seeds indoors on the windowsills but they always need somewhere to grow on. If these ones don't make it, don't give up, like others have said you can try again in the spring
I do miss the edit button, never to got to grips with quote option, everytime I used it bar once, it just ended up as nonsense
Great idea, bit too far for me though
Great to have some good quality wood to make stuff out of, maybe a planter/raised bed
Lucky you KEF
No idea patty, think I've seen one ladybird all year A few years ago I was staying with a friend and the bedroom for some reason was full of them, never understood that.
Maybe they in are in someway getting ready for winter? Don't know anything about their lifecyle, but maybe in some way they were getting ready for Winter?
I haven't seen Palisglide for a while or Gold!locks. Followed his advice on taking clemantis cuttings......and it worked. Got some good advice off Bunny as well
Think wintersong popped up a few months ago, her photos were good
I'd definatley go for some spring bulbs, there's loads on sale now and they are relatively cheap. Some of them provide an early source of nectar for bees and insects,crocus, grape hyacinths, daffs etc planted now will give you some colour in the spring. The best thing with crocus and grape hyacinths and the like is that over time they multiple and you can add to them as you go
Happy birthday fairygirl, hope you've enjoyed your day and happy anniversary chicky
Definately feel a nip in the air this evening, but it has been a glorioius autumn day. Joined an art class a few weeks ago and went today and starting to feel a lot more comfortable there. Great hedge hog stacey, haven't seen one of these for years, the cake or an alive hedgehog
Radio on for the evening, maybe not to every ones taste, but there's some great music out there at the moment. Really impressed with the new artic monkeys album ( not really been a fan before) and like the arcade fire track as well.
no problem Zoomer

Therese busting in on Grace's post to toss some confetti; this is her first post with us as an official WU contributor!
Grace Wynter is a copyeditor, blogger, writer of romantic women's fiction, and a huge fan of shenanigans. Her blogs (and a few of her shenanigans) have been featured on CNN.com, the Huffington Post, and More.com. Grace has an MBA from Georgia State University and is currently enrolled in The University of Chicago's Professional Certification in Editing program. When she's not writing, she's helping other writers on her blog, The Writer's Station.
Her latest project is co-creator of Storyboard, a new podcast that follows two writers as they explore the ways stories shape lives, and tackle long-held beliefs about the intersection of craft and commerce.
As a child, Bruce Wayne witnesses his parents' murder. Aware of Krypton's pending destruction, Kal-El's father places him in a spacecraft that makes a crash landing on planet earth. T'Challa vows to avenge his father's murder and prove he can lead a nation.
I can already hear you asking what you, as a writer, could possibly have in common with Batman, Superman, and Black Panther. More than you might think. I've been a fan of superheroes since I was a kid. The fangirling only intensified as I got older, and I have the Wonder Woman caped socks to prove it. But, it wasn't until recently, when I was asked to talk to a classroom full of superhero-loving fifth graders about writing, that I made the connection between the personal stories of writers and those of superheroes.
Origin Stories
Dictionary.com defines an origin story as, "a backstory, or established background narrative that informs the identity and motivations of heroes and villains in a comic book or similar fictional work." Writers hear about origin stories all the time as they relate to the characters we write, but what about our own origin stories? What about the events in our lives that most inform why, how, and what we write? I believe that identifying our own origin stories can help us find our voices as writers, allowing us to give the fictional characters we create, more complex, multidimensional lives. So, what do our origin stories have in common with those of superheroes? And, once we identify them, how can we use our origin stories to our advantage?
Five Things to Understand About Origin Stories
1) We all have them. While our own origin story probably doesn't involve murder, kryptonite, or African chiefs, it does exist. We'll usually recognize it by the emotional muscle memory it evokes. An emotional muscle memory isn't like the muscle memory that gets us out of the office parking lot and into our driveway on autopilot at the end of a long day. No, an emotional muscle memory is one that makes our stomach drop and our scalp tingle. It's the physical response we experience when recalling our worst heartbreak or the moment our favorite teacher saw promise in our work. It's the sensitive kid who, afraid of being teased about her accent, dons a "cloak of invisibility" and quietly observes the interactions around her, filling her journals with the worlds she creates. The key is to search beyond the facts of the memory, beyond dates and times, and reach for the emotion it evokes, allowing the memory to transform our writing.
2) They can be painful. A weeping eight-year-old Bruce Wayne cradling his father's head in his hands. Black Panther doubting his ability to fill his late father's shoes. At the time, neither understood that the pain, loneliness, and isolation they were feeling would eventually become the source of their strength. The same is true of writers. The events that wake us in the middle of the night gasping for air, may turn out to be the very things that allow us to breathe new life onto the page.
3) We can have more than one. Like superheroes, our origin stories can have versions and adaptations. The inciting incident that ushers our entry into the writing world might be different from the one that leads us to a specific genre. And, the event that takes our writing in a new direction might be something that happened long after the initial inciting incident. Each origin story comes with its own emotion and its own sequence of events that sets us on the path to a new journey.

We serve a diversity of environmental clients, from advocacy organizations and professional associations, to nationally and internationally ranked zoos and aquariums, conservation groups and regulatory agencies. It is an agency priority to use sustainable business practices daily at PCI because we share the belief with our environmentally conscious clients that it's important to live sustainably.
Several PCI senior counselors have significant experience working in and for environmental organizations. This first-hand experience brings extraordinary insight and benefits to our clients — from PCI's creative strategies to knowing what words resonate and prompt public engagement on green issues.
For most of our 54 years, PCI has represented clients in the conservation and environmental fields. Today a growing segment of our business consists of clients who seek international, national and regional counsel on issues, including land use, water quality, wildlife conservation, animal care, marine life protection and living sustainably.
We create and launch campaigns, operate consumer awareness programs, celebrate announcements and milestones, manage social media campaigns and create content and strategies that inform, excite and connect publics with our clients' messages. This includes handling crises, developing digital strategies, coaching spokespersons and providing an outside-in perspective that is difficult for people within an organization to muster.

Charmoula | Coriander Parsley Dressing / Marinade
Charmoula | Coriander Parsley Dressing/Marinade
Charmoula ( شرمولة) is a North African Herbal Marinade, an all purpose dressing used a lot in Tunisia and Morocco. It is often used for seafood but works with meats as well as vegetables. When you are looking for a different kind of marinade, something less Masala-ish and more Herby… it is a good choice. It is also great when you have lots of herbs, wanting to be used up 🙂 . We like this marinade with baked chicken wings and grilled shrimp a lot!

Hi all!
I so want to go to Vegas, but given my boss just approved Affiliate Summit which is a cruise, I think she'd laugh me out of her office if I mention Vegas.
I don't have coupon codes, but I have a magic key to priceline for hotels.
This site lists what people have bid and what they have gotten. So, you can figure out how to bid smartly and not be surprised. When I drove across the country, I would bid the night before I got somewhere. I stayed in 4 stars the whole way for $40 a night.
So maybe this will help a little.
It's not a coupon code, but you can get amazing deals. Have fun!!!! And doesn't priceline have an affiliate program, so you can bid through your own links.

This weekend was my 7th entry into the DVMission 48 hour film challenge which takes place in Portsmouth every year. I team up with James from Maddogs Productions and we enter under the guise of Team Maddogs.
The premise for those unfamiliar, is that we are given a Title, Genre and Line of Dialogue that we have to use to produce a 2 minute film in 48 hours.
This years obstructions were:
Title: The Perfect 20
Genre: Cyberpunk
Line of Dialogue: Shatner don't surf
As you can probably tell this stumped us for a while, but before long we had beer, pizza, and 2 scripts. One of which was a serious documentary, the other was a comedy involving a bank heist. We decided to run with the bank heist script, but after failing to secure a proper location or more than 1 actor, we were left with no ideas by the end of the Friday.
Back to the drawing board
By 10am Saturday, we had only 2 resources; a single actor, and a location (an old barn currently being renovated.)
So what did we do?
I was informed that the barn was filled with some old computers, which fit into the cyberpunk theme, and so I wrote a short script that involved Ben playing a man who wakes up with duct tape on his face and fed instructions from an old computer screen.
You can watch the finished film here:
DV Mission 2015 – The Perfect 20 – Team Maddogs from James Bailey on Vimeo.
The ideas behind it (spoilers)
Okay, so Team Maddogs LOVE computer games, but this wasn't just an excuse for us to completely nerd out by creating a real life text based adventure game, first person shooter and MMO.
The idea is that computers now control humans in games, so the monitor is a throw back to text based adventure games, instructing the human what to do. Ben himself does not see the AI with the health bar, he just sees what the computer screen tells him to do.
We also see Ben playing the second character – which just highlights the fact that all the characters look the same (or are very limited in choice) in these old MMO's and first person shooters.
We managed to get the 'line of dialogue' in by using shatner_dont_surf as the main protagonists game handle. (Yes we were allowed to have it written instead of saying it!)
Also as a little nod to our previous adventure as Team Maddogs, we used ph0enix_MadD0G as a nod to the organiser Jinx, who kept saying that Maddogs would rise from the ashes like a phoenix after I said it was looking like we might fail again (we even had our own hashtag).
@Jo_Eyre will maddog rise from the ashes like a phoenix? It has been done before. #dvmission10 #shatnerdontsurf
— DVMISSION (@DVMISSION) November 14, 2015
How we made it
We shot the film in chronological order, using about 10 lights and a Canon 5D with prime lenses. For the first person view, Ben had to hold the camera extremely close to his chest, with James following him around to take the various items (knife, potion) as he disarmed them, and me following around with a light to make sure it was as lit as possible.
The special effects were all done in After Effects by the very talented James Bailey.
The looting shot
The hardest (and dare I say it most amusing part) was filming the shot where the 2nd character loots the 1st character. For that, James attached the camera to the tripod, duct taped the gun to the camera and then picked up the whole tripod and moved it into position, setting the tripod down next to Ben.
Then we stopped recording, took a photograph, and made Ben lie absolutely still whilst we taped around him with masking tape.
After that Ben jumped up, got into the next costume and then lay back down again. We took another photo, and switched between the two and did things like move fingers and arms back into exactly the same position.
Once happy, we began shooting again (bare in mind we had 1 take to get the last shot right).
The result
Well, we're extremely pleased with the result, and couldn't have asked for a better reaction at the premiere night! We didn't receive any nominations or awards, but the level of films this year was extremely high and with it the competition was fierce!
We cannot wait till next year!
I also have to say a huge thanks to Jinx for starting DV Mission 10 years ago, who has now stepped down from the competition. It's one of those events I both dread and look forward to in equal measures and it's most certainly a highlight of the year!

Inventor of disposable nappy Valerie Hunter-Gordon dies aged 94
THE INVENTOR who transformed the lives of parents worldwide by coming up with the idea of the disposable nappy has died.
Valerie Hunter-Gordon created the first disposable nappy using a Singer sewing machine
Valerie Hunter-Gordon passed away peacefully, aged 94, on Sunday at her home, Ballindoun House, Beauly, Inverness-shire.
It was after the birth of her third child in 1948 that she came up with the idea of a throw away nappy to replace the old fashioned towelling and muslin nappy, which generations of parents had endured.
She said last year: "I just didn't want to wash them. You had to iron them as well. It was awful labour. I was amazed you couldn't buy a disposable version.
"I went to the US and you couldn't buy them there. It was extraordinary. No-one had thought about it."
At the time Valerie was living in Surrey with her husband Pat, a major in the Royal Engineers. Their third child, Nigel, had been born the year before.
Determined to escape the never ending cycle of washing and drying, she used her Singer sewing machine to make a pair of prototype nappy pants from parachute nylon lined with cotton. But they were not an immediate hit.
The inventor came up with the idea after the birth of her third child in 1948
Valerie said: "They wouldn't stay on and the cotton wool didn't work".
It was extraordinary. No-one had thought about it
Undeterred, using Nigel as a model, Valerie, the grand-daughter of inventor and engineer, Sebastion de Ferranti - known as "Britian's Edison" - soldiered on, tweaking her new nappy.
She ended up making 500 pairs of pants in her home selling them on for 5-shillings each.
At first they had trouble finding a manufacturer until a chance meeting
Then a new material, PVC, allowed her to make a strong, waterproofed product, which could be wiped, washed and bleached with no ironing required.
Eventually after more testing on Nigel the pants were made of cellulose wadding with a layer of cotton wool.
Demand was high, so Valerie and Pat decided to approach manufacturers and retailers. At first, no one wanted to know.
The breakthrough came with a chance meeting between Valerie's father, a director of Ferranti and Sir Robert Robinson whose company Robinson of Chesterfield made sanitary towels.
Robinson took on the manufacturing and Valerie patented the product.
The product went into decline in the 1960s after the arrival of pampers
Nigel was the star of the advertising campaign.
Reminiscing last year, then aged 67, Nigel said: "Until I was 30, I used to see myself on the side of trucks as I went up and down the M6".
In the 1960s, the product went into decline with the arrival of Pampers.
