Hypnosis for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A quarter of a million people in the UK suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It's more common amongst women than men. Daily activities become much harder to carry out, as exhaustion takes over. The causes of CFS are not yet fully understood, but we have had great success in using hypnotherapy to relieve the symptoms. GPs often refer patients to us.
Hypnotherapy targets the mind; the engine room of the entire body. A positive re-programming of the mind through hypnotic suggestions, can lead to a newly invigorated lease of life. When you think differently, you feel different.

Bill Gates on Brexit: World's richest man warns leaving EU would make UK less attractive for business
Microsoft founder Bill Gates has offered a stark warning after some polls suggested the Leave campaign had edged ahead.
Bill Gates said Britain after Brexit would be a "significantly less attractive place to do business and invest".
The world's wealthiest man, who has invested more than a billion dollars in the UK, offered the stark warning a day after some polls suggested the Leave campaign had edged ahead.

In a letter to The Times he said Britain would be "stronger, more prosperous and more influential" inside the EU.
Mr Gates, who founded Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation - a philanthropic organisation - also said Britain's EU membership and access to the single market played a role in the decision to place the company's research facilities in Cambridge.

He said: "While ultimately a matter for the British people to decide, it is clear to me that if Britain chooses to be outside of Europe, it will be a significantly less attractive place to do business and to invest.
"It will be harder to find and recruit the best talent from across the Continent; talent which, in turn, creates jobs for people in the UK.
"And, it would be harder to raise the investment needed for public goods such as new medicines and affordable clean energy solutions, for which we need the scale of collaboration, knowledge sharing, and financial backing that the combined strength of the EU provides."

December Blessings
Great post again! Feels like I'm there with you. I saw one time where a guy took a helicopter ride around New York and then drew it back from memory. I bet you could do the same thing.
Not that you'd want to.
Looking forward to what 2015 holds for you!!
Thankfully there are pictures and I have the letters and documentation. It's keeping me more accurate than my memory would allow. Thank you for everything this year Steve!
The saga continues looking forward to the next chapter. Could picture the bay vividly the way described as if I were there with you. 2015 will be a big year for you!
I am glad you are on this journey with me Charles. I wish you well in the New Year!
OK – so I've completely caught up and I guess I forgot to mention I have no patience. I'm anxiously awaiting the next post, and then next, and the next.
I'm glad you got caught up! Thanks for reading them all!
I appreciate that you could see the good even in the middle of the bad. That also shows just the type of guy you are.
Thanks for your kind words, and for sticking with the story this long.
Even with small freedom comes responsibility! Great lesson for everyone right there!!
True, it can be applied in many ways. Thanks for commenting!

Run! Sometimes that's the only answer to life-threatening situations. At this point, there's no telling what type of state the country will be in a year from now… or even in months. Complete anarchy? War? Rebellion? A collapsed economy? One can never really tell… Not to mention, there's always the threat of the next big natural disaster, which can leave every man and woman to fend for themselves with what packing gear they have on them.
Regardless of what danger pops up next, it's important that you are ready and prepared for the unexpected. Let's review three effective tips for packing your survival gear in a bug-out bag or your car trunk.
Tip 1: Kill Several Birds With One Stone. For those who love to over-pack, it's time to tone it down. Practicality is our first main focus when packing. Items with two or more purposes are what you want to add to your bug-out bag or car trunk in case of emergency. Here are a few easy examples of how you can apply this:
Tip 2: Every Inch Counts. It would be great if, in an emergency, you could just pack up your whole house and take it with you. But it's not that easy. With limited space in your bug-out bag or car trunk, you have to be strategic and creative. Here are a few quick tips for compacting items.
Tip 3: Easy Access. Another thing to pack in your bug-out bag is common sense. If packing an actual backpack, all of the less frequently used items should go at the bottom of the bag. Meanwhile, the heaviest items should go closest to your back, with the lightest items farthest from your back. From there, the most used items (maps, guides, cameras) should be placed at the top of your back.
The same concept applies to packing a car trunk. Keep things such as your tents, tent poles and sleeping bag deepest in your car trunk. Keep clothes and daily essentials more accessible, as you will need them more often.
Final Words: In order to survive the next big disaster, you must think ahead and prepare for all possibilities. Above all, remember that the most important focuses for packing are practicality, dual usage, space efficiency and accessibility.

AHS Blog | Alaska's Historic Canneries
On the Shores of Mitkof Island
By: Kathi Riemer
The shores of Mitkof Island were pretty quiet for millennia. Mitkof Island was a great little spot for summer visitors, people interested in catching life sustaining fish, but the island never caught on as a place to set down roots. In 1898 that changed.
Petersburg, Alaska is a small town on the northern tip of Mitkof Island. All indications lead us to believe that the town of Petersburg was the first permanent settlement ever constructed on the island. There are many fish trap sites filled with artifacts and middens, some dating back 2000 years or more, but there is no evidence of a permanent village site. You might ask why anyone would settle a place that had been discarded as a habitable location for centuries. The answer is fish. People have utilized the fishing resource Mitkof Island provides for millennia. Nobody is quite sure why it was never settled by the Native people in the region, but theories abound. Some think it is because of the weather patterns, others think it may have been a buffer zone between Native groups. For whatever reason, the island that was least inhabitable to Southeast Alaska Native people, seemed to be the ideal location for Norwegian fishermen and their families.
Peter Buschmann, a Norwegian entrepreneur from Aure, Norway was in the business of setting up fish canneries and salteries along the shores of Alaska's inside passage. Petersburg is located between Sumner Straight to the south and Fredrick Sound to the north with the Wrangell Narrows sliding along it's western shore. Peter Buschmann would have sailed by the island many times while managing his operations to the north and south. He would have had to notice the large icebergs from LeConte Glacier floating in Fredrick Sound and thought it would be a good idea to expand his holdings with a cannery site on Mitkof Island.
In 1899 the Icy Straight Packing Company was built on the northern shore of Mitkof Island with money from people who had invested in his other operations. Peter Buschmann needed a workforce so he sent word to Norway and friends and relatives showed up to work. He also brought Chinese people to Petersburg to work in the cannery. Later, Native people from Kake joined the workforce. Salmon was plentiful in the area, as was halibut. The ice from LeConte Glacier kept the halibut cold all the way to Seattle. Salmon was canned and salted and sent south too.
Norwegian settlers continued to make their home in Petersburg, which became an incorporated city in 1910, two years after the initial articles of incorporation were rejected because women had signed them. By 1910, the Icy Straits Cannery had been purchased by the Pacific Packing and Navigation Company in 1901 and the Pacific Coast and Norway Packing Company in 1906.
In 1918, after going through bankruptcy proceedings, the Norway Packing Company reorganized as the Petersburg Packing Company, with Oscar Nicholson as superintendent. He operated the cannery until 1933 when it was sold to Pacific American Fisheries. In 1965, Bob Thorstenson organized a group of Petersburg residents and fishermen to purchase the cannery from PAF. The Petersburg stockholders named their cannery Petersburg Fisheries Incorporated, PFI. The company expanded and became Icicle Seafoods, one of the largest fish packing plants in Alaska. In 2010 Petersburg stockholders sold their Icicle shares to Paine and Partners, an equity firm and in 2016, the plant was purchased by Cooke Aquaculture, a Canadian fish company.
The Clausen Memorial Museum has many images of canneries taken from 1998 through the present day. We have spent the last year locating these images, entering them into our Past Perfect data base and storing them appropriately. The Icy Straits Cannery, which is now Icicle Seafoods, has been the lifeblood of our town and the images bring Petersburg's history to life. We also have images of the many other canneries that have and continue to operate on Mitkof Island. Individuals and organizations are now able to obtain historical cannery images from our museum.
Elemental and True: Glacier Bay Seafoods, 1972-1974
By: Susan Morgan
We were never supposed to live in Ouzinkie.
That revelation from my mom blew my mind. We had never been one of those families that had meetings to discuss things, but I always assumed at least my mom knew what was happening. As it turns out, not so much.
I'd wondered why we left our two wonderful dogs, Missy and Gazebo, at our home in Anchorage under the care of neighbors when we moved to Ouzinkie in 1972. Turns out, Mom thought we were just going for a visit, maybe a few weeks, maybe a month. Just to see my dad, who was over there — wherever "there" was — getting a shrimp processing plant running.
It took me 40-some years to learn that the same things that surprised me about Ouzinkie also surprised her.
For example, like me, Mom wasn't thrilled that my brother and I had to sleep in the cannery's brightly lit office at the far end of the dock over the water that first summer. There simply was nowhere else. And she definitely wasn't happy to learn that the tiny pink trailer at the other end of the dock where she was supposed to stay with my dad was also occupied by the cannery's then-foreman.
But probably the biggest shock for Mom was that once we were there for our "visit," my dad gave no indication he wanted us to go home to Anchorage. Unbeknownst to her, at least at first, "home" was now here, where my dad was, in this village of fewer than 200 people. When Mom finally figured that out, she made a fast trip to Anchorage to gather more clothes and give away our long-suffering dogs.
Over time, those three years in Ouzinkie proved to be life-changing for every one of us.
My mom and dad built a business that, for a while at least, thrived beyond anything they'd imagined. Mom says a "ton of money" went through that plant, as endless boatloads of raw shrimp were caught, processed and sold to our eager market in Great Britain.
Unlike their prior seafood ventures, my parents even walked away with a small profit at the end. When their partner bought out their share after they were too exhausted to keep the plant open any longer, they enjoyed a rare taste of financial comfort. Daddy told Mom to design her dream kitchen and they'd build it. She still loves those walnut cabinets.
Those years influenced my younger brother, too, now a renowned professor and scientist who specializes in water quality. He credits time spent in the tidepools and beaches of Ouzinkie, where everything including our cannery waste was dumped in the ocean, for sparking that interest.
And I've always referred back to that time for pretty much everything that makes me who I am. I'd grown up a quiet, middle child, and to be plunked into the middle of the wild and crazy world that was Kodiak and environs in the 1970s… well, it was a revelation.
My new friends in the cannery taught me about Kerouac, the joys of communal living, pot, hitchhiking and freedom. I fell in love for the first time and experienced the deaths of people I cared about for the first time. I saw people who watched out for others in ways that went far beyond words. If someone was missing in a storm, they went — without hesitation — into the storm themselves to rescue them.
Nothing was trite here, it seemed to me. Nothing was unimportant.
I loved that. It felt like all the artifice of the world had been stripped away. This was how life was meant to be, I thought: elemental and true. With a hell of a lot of fun thrown in.
My plan for exploring these few years when my family's cannery operated in Ouzinkie was to discover why I loved it so much, why I remembered it so fondly 40-plus years later. I wanted to find my old friends and coworkers and learn if that place, that time, affected them as much as it did me.
I did, and it did.
But the biggest surprise for me in this whole enterprise was how much I learned and realized about my parents.
I was a teenager when we lived in Ouzinkie, and like most teenagers, I found my parents occasionally embarrassing. I especially hated it when they'd sometimes stroll through the processing plant, arm in arm, while my friends and I worked on the fish pick line. It seemed so … parental!
But in looking back, I can see now how those strolls must have felt to them.
This building where dozens of us worked, sometimes in shifts around the clock, had been empty when they bought it. They had taken nothing, a cavernous structure, and by their wits and creativity and with very little financial backing, had created this bustling plant. Villagers, college students, boat crews and more made a good living because of my parents' creation.
And the shrimp was fantastic. I don't eat it anymore — being drenched in the stuff for three years will do that to a person — but even I know it was extraordinary. Forty years later, people I talked to remembered how great it tasted, cooked just right in pristine sea water, peeled perfectly by intricate adjustments to the giant array of peelers, and how it was then cunningly frozen in mid-air so every shrimp stayed fresh and separate.
It was a thing of which they were rightly proud. I wish I'd realized that at the time.
My mom believed things were coming to a crisis point for us when we left Ouzinkie.
While most people there had been wonderful and welcoming when we arrived, one or two had been actively hostile. Mom suspects it was because the cannery building had previously been owned by the village, but had, we were told, been lost to bankruptcy.
She and my dad, possibly seen as interlopers by some, had even been personally threatened; someone would get drunk, wave a weapon around, and vow to come down to the dock and "wipe them" — us — out.
Plus, getting anywhere off the island involved flying in often iffy weather, and never mind the hazards faced daily by our boats, navigating the most treacherous waters in the world to feed our insatiable need for more shrimp. Living with worries like that can take a toll. It did on my folks.
Mom's fears seemed borne out when Dan Abell, my dad's right-hand man at the cannery and our longtime friend, was shot and killed in his bed a few months after we left the village. And a few months after that, the cannery itself burned, destroying the place we'd lived for three years.
I've never been able to go back to Ouzinkie since then. Even photos of the charred remnants of the dock right after the fire – looking for all the world like the skeleton of a giant whale – breaks my heart.
But in a way, that violent and final ending to our cannery is in keeping with the lessons I learned there.
We had no buffers in Ouzinkie. We and everyone else lived and died, truly, with nature.
When I interviewed Tim Southworth for this project, he said his time working in Ouzinkie taught him where "the edge" was. While he learned he wasn't constitutionally equipped to live on the edge forever, he said it informed his life to know where it was.
I think that's been true for all of us.
Like many others in Ouzinkie at that time, I was fortunate to live — and survive — a few years very close to the edge. It was heady, exhilarating, terrifying and unforgettable.
At 22, I made a conscious, deliberate choice to step back from that edge. It was the right decision and I don't regret it. But part of me still longs for the way I felt there, the others I knew there. And to be honest, part of me still misses the view.
Canned: The NN Cannery Project
By: Katie Ringsmuth, PhD
One of the most important 20th century industries on the West Coast was the canning of Pacific salmon. In its heyday the industry caught and canned enough salmon to feed four pounds of salmon a year to every man woman and child in America. Lined up end to end, these one pound tins could have circled the globe. As anthropologist Alan Boraas notes, "Canneries transformed this entire area and represent the industrial revolution of the North."
Canneries were (and still are) cultural hubs that reflect and, in part, spawned Alaska's diverse population. The Alaska Packers Association (APA) employed mostly immigrants from Europe to catch salmon. Skilled immigrants also built both the canneries and the boats. To process the salmon, canneries hired Asian crews that linked Alaska to the broader Pacific World.
Many Alaska Natives who worked at the cannery were descendants of Katmai. Many migrated downriver to South Naknek after the Novarupta volcano destroyed their Savonoski village in 1912 and the Spanish Flu pandemic devastated inhabitants in 1919. APA's <NN> Cannery in South Naknek is historically significant because the structures, objects and the industrial landscape collectively tell the story of these varied, yet forgotten people.
Rusted corrugated tin, discarded machines parts, broken boardwalks, and skeletal remains of bunkhouses are the enduring reminders of the past that gives voice to the cannery workers people who are practically invisible to the historical record. These were diverse people from different places who found dignity through their laborious interactions and forged a deep connection to the surrounding environment. Their work mattered.
According to environmental historian Richard White, "We have obscured and are only slowly recovering [the historical framework] that labor … involves human beings with the world so thoroughly that they can never be disentangled." Therefore, instead of controlling or conquering South Naknek's natural landscape, these workers were utterly immersed within it.
With the exception of two years during WWII, the South Naknek <NN> Cannery has operated for over 100 years. The cannery's presence on the Naknek River spans a history from the days of salteries to sail boats, tall ships to aviation, steam power to globalization. Collectively, the cannery buildings, boardwalks, machines, and other contributing properties convey a broad range of historical contexts: corporate, technological, cultural, economic, and environmental.
Of all the canneries built in Alaska, very few currently left standing possess the <NN> cannery's integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association, and meet all the criteria for historic evaluation.
July Fieldwork
This summer, historians Katie Ringsmuth and Bob King received a grant from the Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative to conduct an initial preservation assessment of the Diamond NN cannery in Bristol Bay. With grant funds, they traveled to South Naknek with John Wachtel, Historical Architect with the National Park Service, built a base of support on both sides of the Naknek River, and created materials to promote the next phase of the project called Canned.
Canned is a participatory history project that aims to document, preserve, and interpret the historical and architectural significance of an Alaskan salmon cannery and, perhaps most importantly, to convey to the public the unknown stories of the multitudes of people who canned salmon and created an ethnically diverse, economically vital, cannery culture.
In addition to the building assessment, local filmmakers and project collaborators, LaRece Egli and Sharon Thompson produced was a 7 minute film, documenting the historical work.
Using a 1968 cannery plat and building inventory, the aim of the survey was to determine:
- The general condition of the buildings
- The buildings' historical/cultural/social associations
- The buildings' historic and current function
- If a building had moved or was modified from its historic use
- The meaning or reasons behind change
- How the interconnected parts worked to create a unified system.
Although the project remains a work in progress, the color coded chart produced by the National Park Service shows the structures and their corresponding Architectural and Historic Value, as well as the combined "Overall Value". The results allow the data to be visualized on a map and, perhaps more importantly, the map gives us a framework from which to start the evaluation process.
Collaboration with Trident Seafoods
On November 19, 2016, Bob King, Katie Ringsmuth, Sharon Thompson and Anjuli Grantham, met with executives at Trident Seafoods to discuss the future of the NN Cannery at South Naknek. After a positive meeting, we received the green light to move forward on the NN cannery history project that will take our effort into 2017, and beyond. Trident assured us that they will follow-up with official permission by mid-January.
Canned will be a multi-project program that, if fully-funded and supported, will result in the following:
- Listing of the South Naknek Diamond NN cannery on the National Register of Historic Places.
- An illustrative publication about the history of the cannery.
- A traveling exhibition or series of exhibits that interpret cannery history through the lens of global connections.
Stay tuned as the NN Cannery project progresses.
One Alaskero in the Smiley Cannery Gang
By: Anjuli Grantham
Melissa Stouffer recently shared two photographs with the Alaska Historical Society, depicting her grandfather's time in Alaska. Roman Andres was born in Abulug, Cagayan, Philippines ca 1908. He traveled around the Pacific for several years, likely working as a migrant laborer. During this time, he joined thousands of other Filipino manongs in Alaska. Manong, or uncle, is the term that describes this early generation of Filipino-American immigrants.
Melissa knows little about her grandfather's time in Alaska. From the photograph labeled "Smiley Cannery Gang," we see that in 1929, Roman Andres worked at the Pacific American Fisheries cannery in Ketchikan. "Smiley" is not referring to the happy faces of those photographed, but rather the previous name of the cannery. In 1916, J.L. Smiley built the cannery in Ketchikan. Smiley previously owned and operated a cannery in Blaine, Washington. In 1918, J.L. Smiley & Co. merged with other enterprises to become Wilson Fisheries Co. In 1928, the seafood behemoth Pacific American Fisheries purchased the facility in Ketchikan. Although the cannery was not officially named after Smiley for nearly twenty years when Roman Andres worked there, from the photograph we can see that the name persisted.
It seems that Andres was a pensionado, or a Filipino student who was able to come to the United States to attend school. He graduated from high school in New York. Later, he served in a Filipino regiment during WWII and returned to the US with a wife. Like many other Filipino-Americans of this generation, Andres worked in the food service industry. He settled in Mt. Clemens, Michigan and worked as the head chef at the Colonial Hotel. He died in 1972.
Thanks to Melissa for sharing these photos that help to articulate the deep and longstanding connection that Alaska shares with the Philippines.
Sitka's Fishing History, on the Air
By: Kristy Griffin
No connoisseur of Alaskan history can dispute the impact of the seafood industry on this state, but as the canneries and cold storage facilities that once adorned the landscape disappear from sight and memory, the struggle to keep knowledge of the past alive begins. In an era of constant connectivity, information saturation, and Pokémon Go, the connection between the birth and growth of Alaska's seafood industry and the contemporary cultural, political, and economic climate in Alaska becomes obscured. Seeking to document and preserve local seafood industry heritage for the benefit of future generations, The Sitka History Museum teamed up with the Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative in 2016.
It all started over a year before when Sitka History Museum Executive Director, Hal Spackman, explored a fresh approach to the promotion of local history. The Sitka History Museum began working with KCAW, Raven Radio 104.7, 90.1 FM to produce Sitka History Minute, a short weekly radio program featuring unique and captivating stories from Sitka's past. Harkening back to the golden era of radio, the show combines equal parts theatrical delivery, rich storytelling, and historical fact. A team of enthusiastic writers tackle every aspect of Sitka's past, from the town's one and only hanging to the infamous April Fool's Mount Edgecumbe "eruption" prank. Most importantly, the program frees the past from the formality of museums and text books and plunks it down into the daily life of people from Port Alexander, Alaska in the south all the way north to Yakutat.
By 2016, Sitka History Minute had gained a strong following of listeners. When the Alaska Historical Society announced their Historic Canneries Initiative, the Sitka History Museum saw an exciting opportunity to combine a radio program with proven success and an established listenership with the goals of the Initiative. In fact, the Museum had already aired an episode on the history of Pyramid Packing Company, a Sitka seafood cannery. Listen to that episode here:
The Museum sought and was generously awarded an Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative mini-grant to fund the production of a special series of Sitka History Minute episodes commemorating Sitka's seafood industry history.
Part I of the cannery series introduced listeners to the invention of canning, its spread to the United States, and the revolutionary ways that it shaped industry and culture in the state of Alaska. The episode provided fun and interesting details such as the fact that nearly a half century lapsed between the invention of canning and the creation of the first can opener, and that Otto von Kotzebue (for whom Kotzebue, Alaska was named) became one of the first seafaring explorers to use canned products on his three-year voyage to the Bering Strait and South Seas. Listen here:
Part II featured the story of Sitka's first cannery, the Cutting Packing Company. In 1878, a little more than a decade after Russia transferred its claims on Alaska to the United States, the Cutting Packing Company and the North Pacific Packing Company in Klawock became the first two canneries in the state of Alaska. Even though the Cutting Packing Company ceased operations after two years, the company pioneered an industry that played a major role in defining post-Transfer Alaskan economy. Please listen here:
Part III documented the often overlooked importance of the Alaska Native seine fishing fleet to the birth and growth of the state's seafood industry. The salmon harvest defined Tlingit economy and culture for thousands of years, so when Americans began arriving to capitalize on Alaska's fisheries, Alaska Natives asserted their traditional fishing rights. In the early years, Alaska Natives held a near monopoly on seine fishing, but the introduction of fish traps and Limited Entry fishing permits set about an unfortunate chain of events that ended much of the Native participation in Alaskan commercial seine fishing. You can listen here:
Part IV encapsulated the sixty-year history of what has been called the first major fisheries plant on Sitka's waterfront. The plant began operations in 1913 under the ownership of Chlopeck Fisheries Company, quickly sold to Booth Fisheries Company, and expanded its operations during the Great Depression under the ownership of the locally-formed Sitka Cold Storage Company. In an industry controlled mostly by large out-of-state businesses, the Sitka Cold Storage Company broke the mold as an Alaskan business run by Alaskans. Check it out:
With the airing of Part I of the cannery series in August of 2016, Sitka History Minute celebrated its landmark fiftieth episode. The series ran throughout the month and included a re-airing of Episode 12 on the Pyramid Packing Company. While Sitka History Minute strives to deepen the Public's appreciation for local history, the radio program also has significant implications for the preservation of cultural heritage. The in-depth research and documentation of oral histories that accompany the writing and production of each episode works to preserve a past that, like the historic canneries fading from Alaska's shorelines, would be otherwise lost to time.
The Sitka History Museum wishes to thank the Alaska Historical Society's Alaska Historic Canneries Initiative for their sponsorship of the Sitka History Minute special cannery series and KCAW, Raven Radio 104.7, 90.1 FM for their continued partnership in the Sitka History Museum's endeavor to promote and preserve local history. Links to the Sitka History Minute cannery series, including Episode 12 on the Pyramid Packing Company, can be found at SitkaHistory.org, or at KCAW.org/sitka-history-minute/.

Conversations with Dad 5: The Clock
We begin immediately after The Visit, when I enter my parents' house. Greetings ensue.
Mom: Sorry I didn't make dinner yet. I didn't know when you were finally going to show up.
Ces: But I'm early.
Dad: For once.
Mom: Plus, now Marcello's not coming tonight.
Ces: Marcello's not here?
Dad: Oh, you won't believe what that worthless bastard of a brother of yours did.
Ces: What happened?
Mom: I don't want to talk about it.
Dad: Then let me tell them.
Mom: He called five minutes ago to say he's coming tomorrow instead.
Dad: He called five minutes ago to say he's coming tomorrow instead.
Mom: I don't want to talk about it.
Dad: Then why didn't you let me tell them?
Mom: What's there to say?
Dad: Apparently nothing now!
Suddenly a loud chirp comes from the kitchen.
Ces: Um, what the hell was that?!
Dad (Brightly): Oh! You heard it!
Ces: Did you guys get a pet bird?
Mom: Oh no. Not after we lost our poor canary Winter.
Dad: Stuck its own fingernail right through its eye. Died like that.
Mom: So sad.
Dad: It's own eye!
Mom: I don't want to talk about it.
Dad: Well, you're not the one who had to bury him.
Mom: Anyway, that's why we only keep fake birds in the bird cage now.
Ces: Sooo...the chirping?
Dad: What? Oh, that's our new clock!
Ces: Clock?
Mom: Doesn't it sound beautiful?
Dad: It has a different bird call for each hour.
Mom: Finch.
Dad: Blue Jay.
Mom: Cardinal.
Dad: Sparrow.
Mom: Robin.
Dad: Blackbird.
Mom: Bluebird.
Dad: Yellowthroat.
Mom: Warbler.
Dad: Oriole...Hey, Ces! Remember when I coached your Little League team The Orioles. What year was that again?
Ces: Wait, the clock chirps every hour?
Dad: Every hour! You should hear it!
Ces: Even in the middle of the night?
Mom: All night! That last one was a mourning dove.
Dad: I love mourning doves.
Ces: You said every hour. But it's 7:10.
Mom: Well, the clock hasn't been working properly.
Dad: And whose fault is that?
Mom: The clock's?
Dad: And who dropped the clock?
Mom: You did.
Dad: I mean the second time, the time it probably broke.
Mom: You dropped it three times, Frank.
Dad: Wait, when did you touch it again?
Ces: Is there anyway to shut it off at night?
Dad: Might have been. But then Isilda dropped it.
Mom: I never touched it!
Dad: Well, you dropped something!
Mom: I dropped the coffee machine.
Dad: Oh...Well, I hope you weren't expecting any coffee, because thanks to your mother here you're not getting any.
Ces: Wait, how often do you guys drop things now?
Dad: Well, you kids are never around to help us lift stuff.
Ces: How heavy was that coffee pot?!
Dad: Ask your mother. She's the one who dropped it.
Mom: This coming from the man who dropped all those wine glasses!
Dad: That's because you didn't dry them properly!
Ces: Guys, guys...about the clock...
Dad: It has a different bird call for each hour.
Ces: Yes...I know...Can we, maybe, unplug the clock before we go to bed? Y'know, so it doesn't chirp all night.
Mom: I think it runs on batteries, dear.
Ces: Then can we just take the batteries out?
Mom: But then we won't be able to hear the lovely clock.
Another loud chirp comes from the kitchen.
Ces: Wait, it's only 7:15.
Dad: Hasn't been working right since one of us dropped it.
Ces: It chirps every five minutes?!
Dad: I love to hear the birds chirp.
Mom: That one was the robin! Didn't it sound gorgeous?

Wow, Ces, conversations with your family never get boring. Great to see you back online. Hope things are well with you. Looking forward to more ML and whatever other projects you have.

A former boss of mine had what appears to be that same model of clock on the wall in her office -- and if I recall correctly, the chirps on hers happened at around :55. Not a lot of quality control going on at the bird clock factory, apparently.

- Bren said...
Oh, you most certainly can turn the chirps off. I learned that as soon as I had to stay with my grandmother for a while when she had surgery. She never changed the batteries so "chirp" is just a word I use for the sound it made towards the end. A sound I can only assume is similar to a cricket full of Jim Beam crying loudly and then choking on its own vomit.

Categories out of order
Hello, I've been fighting with an issue with my categories not displaying in proper alphabetical order and I can't quite figure out why.
Not only do they not appear alphabetically on the front end of my website, but also in the backend as well.
I've double checked the slugs and everything appears to be just fine. There's no rhyme or reason why they are out of order.
My site is http://peppers.com/ and if you look at the sidebar you'll notice that they are not appearing correctly.
When I edit the categories in the backend, they also appear in this same order. Also when I click on "Products" in the backend and choose to filter my products by category, the drop-down menu appears in this same order.
I'm not exactly sure what could have caused this but I've tried a number of different things from writing my own category dropdown widget, to using a variety of plugins, and even WPEC's own category widget which does not display them in the correct order.
There's something in the core of WPEC that is causing this to happen and I'm not sure what.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The book of Joshua, chapter 13, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Iosue senex provectaeque aetatis erat, et dixit Dominus ad eum: "Senuisti et longaevus es; terraque latissima adhuc superest, quae necdum occupata est.
2 Omnis videlicet Galilaea, regio Philisthim et universa Gesuri,
3 a fluvio Sihor, qui est ad orientem Aegypti, usque ad terminos Accaron contra aquilonem, terra Chananaea, quae in quinque principes Philisthim dividitur, Gazaeos et Azotios, Ascalonitas, Getthaeos et Accaronitas ac Hevaei
4 meridie; et omnis terra Chanaan de Ara Sidoniorum usque Apheca et terminos Amorraei;
5 et terra Gibliorum et omnis Libanus in oriente a Baalgad sub monte Hermon usque ad introitum Emath,
6 omnes, qui habitant in monte a Libano usque ad Maserephoth in occidente, universi Sidonii. Ego sum qui delebo eos a facie filiorum Israel. Sorte tantum distribue terram Israel in hereditatem, sicut praecepi tibi.
7 Et nunc divide terram hanc in possessionem novem tribubus et dimidiae tribui Manasse"
8 Cum qua Ruben et Gad possederunt terram, quam tradidit eis Moyses famulus Domini trans fluenta Iordanis ad orientalem plagam:
9 ab Aroer, quae sita est in ripa torrentis Arnon, et civitate in vallis medio, universaque campestria Medaba usque Dibon;
10 et cunctas civitates Sehon regis Amorraei, qui regnavit in Hesebon, usque ad terminos filiorum Ammon;
11 et Galaad ac terminos Gesuri et Maachathi omnemque montem Hermon et universam Basan usque Salcha,
12 omne regnum Og in Basan, qui regnavit in Astharoth et Edrai "ipse fuit de reliquiis Raphaim C; percussitque eos Moyses atque delevit.
13 Non autem disperdiderunt filii Israel Gesuri et Maachathi, et habitaverunt in medio Israel usque in praesentem diem.
14 Tribui tantum Levi non dedit possessionem, sed sacrificia Domini, Dei Israel: ipsa est eius hereditas, sicut locutus est illi.
15 Dedit ergo Moyses possessionem tribui filiorum Ruben iuxta cognationes suas.
16 Fuitque terminus eorum ab Aroer, quae sita est in ripa torrentis Arnon, et a civitate in valle eiusdem torrentis media, et universa planities usque Medaba,
17 Hesebon cunctaque oppida eius, quae sunt in campestribus: Dibon et Bamothbaal et Bethbaalmeon
18 et Iasa et Cademoth et Mephaath,
19 Cariathaim et Sabama et Serethsahar in monte convallis,
20 Bethphegor et declivia Phasga et Bethiesimoth
21 et omnes urbes campestres universumque regnum Sehon regis Amorraei, qui regnavit in Hesebon, quem percussit Moyses, ipsum et principes Madian, Evi et Recem et Sur et Hur et Rebe, duces Sehon habitatores terrae.
22 Et Balaam filium Beor hariolum occiderunt filii Israel gladio cum ceteris interfectis.
23 Factusque est terminus filiorum Ruben Iordanis fluvius. Haec est possessio Rubenitarum per cognationes suas, urbes et viculi earum.
24 Deditque Moyses tribui Gad, filiis Gad, per cognationes suas possessionem, cuius hic est
25 terminus: Iazer et omnes civitates Galaad dimidiaque pars terrae filiorum Ammon usque ad Aroer, quae est contra Rabba;
26 et ab Hesebon usque Ramothmaspha et Betonim et a Mahanaim usque ad terminos Lodabar,
27 in valle quoque Betharan et Bethnemra et Succoth et Saphon, reliqua pars regni Sehon regis Hesebon; Iordanis et terminus usque ad extremam partem maris Chenereth trans Iordanem ad orientalem plagam.
28 Haec est possessio filiorum Gad per familias suas, civitates et villae earum.
29 Dedit Moyses et dimidiae tribui filiorum Manasse, iuxta cognationes suas possessionem:
30 Manasse, a Mahanaim universam Basan, cunctum regnum Og regis Basan omnesque vicos Iair, qui sunt in Basan, sexaginta oppida;
31 et dimidiam partem Galaad et Astharoth et Edrai, urbes regni Og in Basan, filiis Machir filii Manasse, dimidiae parti filiorum Machir, iuxta cognationes suas.
32 Hanc possessionem divisit Moyses in campestribus Moab trans Iordanem contra Iericho ad orientalem plagam.
33 Tribui autem Levi non dedit possessionem, quoniam Dominus, Deus Israel, ipse est possessio eius, ut locutus est illi.
King James Version
1 Now Joshua was old and stricken in years; and the LORD said unto him, Thou art old and stricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed.
2 This is the land that yet remaineth: all the borders of the Philistines, and all Geshuri,
3 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
4 From the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that is beside the Sidonians, unto Aphek, to the borders of the Amorites:
5 And the land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrising, from Baal-gad under mount Hermon unto the entering into Hamath.
6 All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee.
7 Now therefore divide this land for an inheritance unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
8 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites have received their inheritance, which Moses gave them, beyond Jordan eastward, even as Moses the servant of the LORD gave them;
9 From Aroer, that is upon the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon;
10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, unto the border of the children of Ammon;
11 And Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all Bashan unto Salcah;
12 All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which reigned in Ashtaroth and in Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants: for these did Moses smite, and cast them out.
13 Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.
14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inheritance; the sacrifices of the LORD God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, as he said unto them.
15 ¶ And Moses gave unto the tribe of the children of Reuben inheritance according to their families.
16 And their coast was from Aroer, that is on the bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the river, and all the plain by Medeba;
17 Heshbon, and all her cities that are in the plain; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon,
18 And Jahazah, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath,
19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zareth-shahar in the mount of the valley,
20 And Beth-peor, and Ashdoth-pisgah, and Beth-jeshimoth,
21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the kingdom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in Heshbon, whom Moses smote with the princes of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country.
22 ¶ Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.
23 And the border of the children of Reuben was Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inheritance of the children of Reuben after their families, the cities and the villages thereof.
24 And Moses gave inheritance unto the tribe of Gad, even unto the children of Gad according to their families.
25 And their coast was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, unto Aroer that is before Rabbah;
26 And from Heshbon unto Ramath-mizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;
27 And in the valley, Beth-aram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon king of Heshbon, Jordan and his border, even unto the edge of the sea of Chinnereth on the other side Jordan eastward.
28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad after their families, the cities, and their villages.
29 ¶ And Moses gave inheritance unto the half tribe of Manasseh: and this was the possession of the half tribe of the children of Manasseh by their families.
30 And their coast was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair, which are in Bashan, threescore cities:
31 And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were pertaining unto the children of Machir the son of Manasseh, even to the one half of the children of Machir by their families.
32 These are the countries which Moses did distribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the other side Jordan, by Jericho, eastward.
33 But unto the tribe of Levi Moses gave not any inheritance: the LORD God of Israel was their inheritance, as he said unto them.

The total value of construction projects in the Gulf region has reached $1.68 trillion, according to a latest report by online project tracker BNC Network.
Of this, $489.39 billion worth of projects are currently under construction, $81.45 billion worth of projects are in the tendering phase, $125.12 billion worth of projects are in design phase while $265.25 billion worth of projects are in the initial planning and concept phase. However, nearly 43 per cent or $723.61 billion worth of projects – the largest category of projects – are still on hold, the report shows.
"Despite the economic slowdown caused by the global financial crisis in 2008-09, the Gulf region still remains one of the largest construction market in the world after China where several large-scale projects are still on track," said Ben D'Souza, Chief Operating Officer of BNC Network. "This reflects the governments' determination to continue to invest in expanding their infrastructure that will help spur economic growth at a time when Europe and the US economies are struggling amid crisis after crisis."
The UAE is still the largest construction project market – with value of projects totalling $690.2 billion that includes $429.23 billion worth of projects on hold. Saudi Arabia is the second largest construction market where the total value of projects have exceeded $451.09 billion, including $100.96 billion worth of projects that are on hold. This is followed by Kuwait where total value of projects reached $195.99 billion including $61.47 billion worth of projects are currently on hold or cancelled. Qatar, which has won the bids to host World Cup Football 2022, ranks fourth among the six countries with total value of projects exceeding $171 billion of which $69.14 billion worth of projects are on hold.
Among some of the large projects, the UAE National Railway, and the Jeddah Metro project will dominate the infrastructure sector while massive investment in power and desalination projects are also going to play a key role in the region's overall development.

Here's my story guys...and gals
My cousin owns since brand new, a 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5, automatic, 61k miles (90% of that highway)-immaculate condition. No longer under factory warranty.
Driving to the airport a few days back the car starts-every 2 minutes or so- bucking and almost stalling, although it never did stall. He flies off and upon returning 5 days later, while driving back home the car starts acting up again. The symptoms are more severe now and getting progressively worse: there is loss of motive power and the max speed is 15-20 mph. He takes it straight to the local Nissan dealer on the way home.Nissan Dealer takes it in for diagnosys on the spot: leaking radiator internally, allowing coolant in the transmission. Total repair $5400-replace transmission ($2300), radiator ($548), thermostat and thorough flushing of the engine cooling system + labor.Eighteen months ago he hit a deer @ 40k miles on the ODO, and the insurance company fixed the car. Among other things replaced, there was a new (but aftermarket) radiator. Now, this radiator failed and caused all this very expensive headache.
My questions:1) Does he have any recourse with the insurance company that paid for the repairs following the deer collision 18 months ago? To me it's quite clear that the parts they used/approved were subpar. How can a brand new radiator last only 22k miles/18 months ???2) Should anything else be changed besides the mentioned parts, in order to bring the car to 100% health?3) Can anyone recommend a reputable/independent transmission shop in the Dallas-Ft.Worth Metroplex?
Many thanks in advance.
Do you have a regular mechanic? If so you should have him take a look.
Those prices seem high to me, but it is possible that they are fair. I doubt if there is any chance of going back 18 months.
If it were mine, I would be asking my friends neighbors and family for a suggestion for a good local independent mechanic, that you can trust.
Good Luck
It sounds like dealer costs in terms of labor. An independent can alleviate this.
The transmission you are stuck with a Nissan supplied part since it uses a CVT not conventional automatic transmission. So CVT part cost will remain similar as dealer.
The bucking and poor running is hopefully due to the CVT(transmission) and not an excessive overheat which means you were doing engine destruction.
I would contact the insurance company and body shop. Many guarantee the repairs for lifetime to the original owner. I am not sure if this guarantee would cover a component failure, but it is definitely worth a try.

Too Many Cooks in the Kitchen? How to Co-Manage Better
Our expert home builder Wayd Munro's guidance will certainly help you invest your hard-earned cash money wisely
Kitchens and bathrooms are one of the most expensive spaces in your house to remodel. Maintaining costs to a minimum is important when you get on a budget plan (and also typically aren't all of us?),
How To Plan Your Kitchen In Just 4 Easy Steps:-
so we asked our renovation panel expert, home builder Wayd Munro, for insider suggestions on how you can minimise prices, conserve cash on fixtures as well as fittings and also find the right people to obtain the work finished with little fuss as possible.
1. Plan your plumbing
" The most effective way is to maintain whatever in the same spot. This will reduce any kind of plumbing prices in both kitchens and bathrooms. With a washroom renovation, you intend to try as well as maintain everything– bath, shower, bathroom, container– where it is. If there is something that needs to
be repositioned, make it a marginal move.
When you're restoring a shower room in a home block, moving the plumbing could be both expensive as well as time-consuming. Along with having to manage concrete floors, you'll need to get approval from any kind of neighbors immediately listed below before you can make adjustments– as well as if the proprietor below rejects after that you're stuck.
Removaling plumbing amounts to more loan. It means needing to entirely dupe wall cellular linings. If there are concrete floors, while you may be able to leave the floor as is, new core holes will need to be placed in for the plumbing to undergo, and new plumbing pipes will have to be mounted throughout.
In the kitchen, attempt to keep the plumbing in the same area if you can. While mounting points such as a fridge with a water can be expensive, usually speaking, when it concerns plumbing, cooking areas are less expensive than shower rooms to do."
2. Shop smarter for your fittings and also fixtures
" Inquire about flooring stock and also manufacturing facility seconds. I have actually gotten a $1000 bathroom for $100 due to the fact that it had a small chip that, when mounted, was entirely hidden. Each and every single washroom vendor, whether it's the huge widely known ones, right to your one-stop shop, generally has flooring supply or seconds.
They may not market this fact however just ask– you never understand what deal you may grab. Something I would certainly claim, though, is that you wish to choose high quality products even when trying to find a deal.
With tiles, there are also a lot of good, low-cost ceramic ones around. A ceramic tile is a really hard, very simple item and it's mosting likely to last.
Hunt down present supply and also factory secs for kitchen appliances, too. Once again, you could conserve money on tiles for kitchen splashbacks. In my experience, tiled splashbacks are the most affordable means to go– but it's truly a matter of specific preference."
3. Arrange your trades appropriately
" To increase effectiveness, you want each profession to be able to find in as well as finish just what they are there to do. That suggests you must have whatever each profession has to complete the job prepared as well as on site before they get there.
As soon as the original fixtures, fittings, wall cellular linings and also floor covering have been eliminated, the plumbing professional and also the electrical expert have to do a rough-in, which is the work you do not see that's hidden in the walls and/or floor.
Then, they'll return to do the fit-off, which is all the fixtures and fittings. You actually only want them to be there twice. If the remodelling is not arranged effectively and also they need to come back more than that, then expenses will really start to mount up.
To arrange your trades, work from the outside of the space (the walls/floors) inwards. It must enter this order– demolition, structural modifications, plumbing as well as electric rough-in, wall finishes/linings, waterproofing for bathrooms, tiling, fixtures and fittings, joinery, electrical/plumbing fit-off, and painting.
Know what appliances you're having actually installed in the kitchen and what arrangements need to be created them. A ducted rangehood, for example, should have ducting pipeline to the outside of the house, so you need to tell your electrician at the beginning of the task that this should be done.
If you do not, as well as it's not planned for at the rough-in phase, then redesigning the walls is going to be an added cost you don't want or need. Making these sorts of errors could be expensive as it suggests work that has actually been finished has to be undone, then redone."
4. Figure out that is responsible for just what
" An electrician looks after mounting lights, outlets, exhaust fans, rangehoods as well as such. The plumbing technician is responsible for all things to do with water, gas and drain.
A tiler does floor and also wall tiling and splashbacks. Renderers do wall linings if the walls are block. You'll need a plasterer if the walls are lumber. A great deal of tilers do their very own bathroom waterproofing, however I assume it's a great idea to leave it to the professionals and also to use a certified waterproofer.
If you're having kitchen cabinets tailor-made, then there will certainly be a joiner, also. A lot of the moment, the joiner could arrange your kitchen benchtops– and once again, it is necessary that every person understands exactly what appliances or fixtures you're obtaining since these have to be considered before benchtops are measured and gotten. Numerous firms have actually detailed specs of their items on their website.
If you're in charge of your kitchen remodeling, you should see to it whatever will certainly fit. If, at the end of the day, the fridge doesn't fit since you gave the joiner the incorrect dimensions, it's going to be expensive to change.
Have illustrations of where you want whatever to go. Be careful– chat to your tradespeople before you start and let them understand what you want as well as they'll be able to inform you just what you have to do to achieve that.
Ask them if they assume you've missed out on anything up front. If you have an excellent connection with your tradesperson, they should be more than happy to answer concerns for you."

The Racial Confidence Gap in Police Performance
Blacks and whites in the U.S. disagree over police performance and differ on the causes of fatal encounters between blacks and police.
On Views of Race and Inequality, Blacks and Whites Are Worlds Apart
There are deep divisions between blacks and whites in how they see racial discrimination, barriers to black progress and prospects for change.
How blacks and whites view the state of race in America
Explore how the opinions of blacks and whites vary by age, education, gender and party identification in key questions from our report.
King's Dream Remains an Elusive Goal; Many Americans See Racial Disparities
Five decades after Martin Luther King's historic "I Have a Dream" speech in Washington, D.C., a new survey by the Pew Research Center finds that fewer than half (45%) of all Americans say the country has made substantial progress toward racial equality and about the same share (49%) say that "a lot more" remains to be done.
50 Years After the March on Washington, Many Racial Divides Remain
Key findings from the report, "King's Dream Remains an Elusive Goal; Many Americans See Racial Disparities"
A Survey of LGBT Americans
An overwhelming share of America's lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adults (92%) say society has become more accepting of them in the past decade and an equal number expect it to grow even more accepting in the decade ahead. They attribute the changes to a variety of factors, from people knowing and interacting with someone […]
Media, Race and Obama's First Year
As a group, African Americans attracted relatively little attention in the U.S. mainstream news media during the first year of Barack Obama's presidency — and what coverage there was tended to focus more on specific episodes than on examining how broader issues and trends affected the lives of blacks generally.
Race and the Census: The "Negro" Controversy
The topic of racial identification on census forms has a long, fascinating history, which has generated fresh debate as the 2010 Census begins.
Blacks Upbeat about Black Progress, Prospects
Assessments about the state of black progress in America have improved more dramatically among blacks during the past two years than at any time in the past quarter century.
Black-White Conflict Isn't Society's Largest
It may surprise anyone who has been following the charges of racism that have flared up during the debate over President Obama's health care proposals, but the American public doesn't see race as the source of the strongest social conflict in the country today.

Reading an online publish of THE LAST CENTURION by author, John Ringo. I'll buy a copy of the book but for tonight, reading it online. Suggest others do so, too.
Caution: not PG-language, should that sort of thing bother anyone. But the fascinating story and blunt, harsh-talk is set in a very credible, possible near-future when mankind has faced and some have survived the next pandemic, or "Great Plague" ("H5N1"), which occurred in that near-future in coincidence with a dimming Sun (and thus, a vastly cooled planet Earth, affecting all resources mankind today deems necessary for survival, at least what we're accustomed to in present time).
The website for this book describes a mini-series of the story told by the author in the future after the events have occured, as does the book. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal has an article and video report about (other) up-coming Hollywood filmed renditions of human survivors amidst and after global and mankind disasters, among comments about that report was found a link to THE LAST CENTURION.
And read Chapter Six ("Daddy Is Under the Roses"), very closely.
Update: Found a hardcover edition available on amazon.com.

A common assumption about those of us who copy edit science papers is that we have a science background. Some of us do, but by no means all. After [mumble-number] years in the medical publishing field, I might feel like I "practically" went to medical school, but I did not. I could probably take out your gallbladder, though. Want to let me try?
Anyway, as long as you are a good reader, writer, thinker, and editor, and know your way around IMRAD, it is possible to edit a manuscript on a wholly unfamiliar topic. The authors are the content experts; the paper has (probably) been through peer review; and the copy editors have skills, coffee, and Google.
When a paper is excruciatingly hard to edit, it's not usually because of the science but because of the writing. Some authors pile up jargon like hoarders collect cans of beans, as protection against the deadly apocalypse of someone being able to read their article without feeling squashed by the weight of all those words. Why settle for a teeny nothing word like "use" when "utilize" sounds so much more important? Why give us actual data when you can just talk about "trends" and "robustness"? Make sure you add a lot of "it has been shown that" and "the fact that." And make sure you start every sentence in the Discussion section with "furthermore" or "moreover"!
Real talk from Nature: "You can always look up jargon, but with a poorly constructed sentence you're on your own." The best-case scenario between author and manuscript editor is a partnership—we don't want to be on our own! We want to help explain complicated things in a simple way, and that often starts with authors picking the most direct words available.—Brenda Gregoline, ELS

Loot Crate and Marvel have partnered for a Marvel bi-monthly subscription crate.
The Marvel Gear and Goods will feature exclusive Marvel apparel, accessories, home goods, and other lifestyle related products. To celebrate the upcoming film, Marvel's Doctor Strange, the first theme will be "Mystics."
Jun 21, 2016 0
By David Voss, Chief Creative Officer at Loot Crate
For more than three years, at Loot Crate, Chris Davis and Matthew Arevalo have created a dedicated and loyal following for our subscription box products, amassing over 600K monthly recurring subscribers across 35 countries! We entered this market wanting to bring a combination of mystery and exclusivity to the geek and gamer fan-based community by focusing entirely on their interests.
Loot Crate is engineered as a recurring revenue model that allows us to introduce a variety of on-trend products every month, targeting pop culture fans with passionate interests in movies, TV, gaming, comic books, anime, as well as expanding to more fan-based verticals such as sports and entertainment. We work with leading franchise owners, such as Sony and the Halo team, and are able to build on their world class brands to offer exclusive products not found on shelves. These partnerships further Loot Crate's commitment to expanding beyond geek and gaming to include all genres, genders and generations in the world of fandom.
Today, at Licensing Expo, we are expanding the Loot Crate family of fandom. We are thrilled to announce a new licensing partnership with WWE, introducing bi-monthly crates featuring items that will appeal to WWE wrestling fans worldwide. Each crate will include exclusive WWE items and collectibles that will bring WWE fans closer to the Superstars they love. More details to be announced this summer, so stay tuned!
We're also announcing today a new licensing partnership with Sanrio, another multi-generational global brand leader with a loyal fan community. Sanrio has nurtured its fan community for more than 40 years, and now fans will have access to a special crate celebrating Hello Kitty®, Chococat, Keroppi and more Sanrio characters, delivered directly to their doorsteps.
We infuse the Loot Crate team's passion for its products with the feedback we receive through our brand's social community. The end result is the best curated crates, which we deliver each month to our voracious fan base.
As we kickoff Licensing Expo 2016, we wanted to share some tips to embrace the world of fandom and ultimately, drive distribution through fan-commerce.
Say What Again – Listen to all feedback. Every day our fan-based community shares their feedback from our products. Our in-house community management team then identifies their interests or lack thereof, so that our products can appeal to our community and add value to our services.
Let's Geek Out – Share the same passions as your community – we often say, "we all geek out over something." At Loot Crate, we self-identify with our customers because we hold the same passions and interests as them, and as fellow geeks and fangirls, we are more connected with our community via digital and real world platforms.
Monthly Mystery Tour – Add value by creating exclusive and surprising new experiences to engage with consumers. We like to keep our fans on the edge of their seats each month by delivering crates with a fresh and original flavor.
Curation is Key – brands fall in the trap of simply offering products without a narrative to tie them together. Create a message for your subscribers by culling products that share a theme or idea, and you'll have returning customers who appreciate the thoughtfulness of your brand.
For Loot Crate, the past three years have been both rewarding and eye-opening. Everyone cares deeply about something, whether it's their favorite TV show, sport, music or pastime. We've been fortunate to have built a growing business that caters to and understands the inner geek in all of us. Every day we learn just a bit more about what makes a fan so loyal.

A chair a place of rest,
but to me torture.
It mocks my disquiet.
How do I remain still
when my insides
scream at me to move.
I have within me questions
that have no answers,
but I keep asking.
The rug under my feet
worn from my pacing,
useless, but I continue.
Where is peace?
I can not find it.
All I see is that damn chair.

Weather: Sunshine returns for end of work week
EDISON - Storms that rolled through the area Wednesday aren't expected to bring much relief from the heat and humidity.
News 12 New Jersey Meteorologist Dave Curren says scattered overnight storms will give way to sunshine and a high around 82 degrees on Thursday.
Friday is expected to be mostly cloudy, with a few light showers or sprinkles. Highs will be in the low 80s.
For those hoping to beat the heat with a swim at the Jersey Shore, there's a moderate threat for rip currents.
