Joining VeloClub not only supports the work we do, there are some fantastic benefits:
by Shane Stokes
April 11, 2018
Meyer and Garfoot win gold medals for Australia in Commonwealth Games time trial; Movistar trio Landa, Quintana, Valverde recon Tour de France cobblestones; Administration error costs English rider her place in Commonwealth Games TT; Porte, van Garderen continue to build at Tour du Finistère; La Vuelta announces four wildcard teams chosen for 2018 edition; Stefan Küng undergoes surgery on jaw fractured at Paris-Roubaix; U.S. amateur cyclist Dylan Lima accepts sanction for anti-doping rule violation; Video: Danny MacAskill & Claudio Caluori: Home of Trails; Video: Phil Gaimon's "Worst Retirement Ever." Taiwan KOM Challenge, Part 1: The journey
English rider Mel Lowther travelled more than 24 hours to get to the Gold Coast, having spent months training for the Commonwealth Games TT. However, having arrived, she realised that she was not listed on the start list, and was unable to ride the race as a result.
The error was down to an official not ticking a box on a form, something which happened despite what is reported to be 'seven or eight' layers of checks. "I can't put into words how disappointed I am to have been missed off the start list due to an admin error," said Lowther. "It was one of my targets this season to make selection for the time trial event and I was so proud that my hard work in training had paid off.
"While Team England have apologised, I'm still gutted not to have the opportunity to represent my country after all the hard miles I've put in. Hearing the news was really difficult and I'd like to thank my family, friends and British Cycling for their support."
Team England chef de mission Sarah Winckless gave an apology to Lowther. "No athlete should suffer because of an administrative error by my group," she said, according to the Guardian. "As soon as we knew of the error we did everything to rectify it and it went to the Commonwealth Games Federation reallocation committee and unfortunately they were not minded to add her into the draw.
"I've spoken to Melissa and she was very reasonable, she was very disappointed not to be able to compete as we are on her behalf. I think more than embarrassing, it's hugely disappointing and she has my sympathies and sincere apologies." Lowther has said she will refocus on the road race.

Hearty Sinhalese food at Rasa Raja Bojun in Tekka Food Centre
Sri Lankan cuisine is not readily available in Singapore outside of Sri Lankan homes. But in the heart of Tekka Food Centre, among stalls serving South Indian cuisine and vegetarian food, is Rasa Raja Bojun, a "rice and curry" stop where you can find the closest thing to authentic Sinhalese cuisine.
When entering Tekka from the main Serangoon Road entrance, turn left and it is among the stretch of stalls serving tiffin items and South Indian food.
The rice and curry options at Rasa Raja Bojun remind me of what one would get at pit stops along Sri Lanka's highways - that is, two to three vegetable dishes and a fish, chicken or goat curry.
Much like choosing dishes at the nasi padang stall, you point at what side dishes you would like added to the pile of rice served on a banana leaf.
The parallels to Indian cuisine are inevitable, but Sri Lankan curries have a rich, coconut base and lean towards vegetables. The cuisine is also decidedly heavy on chilli and black pepper.
Raja Bojun means king's meal in Sinhalese and the portions are equally generous at this stall, which opened almost three years ago.
Meals start at $4.50 for fish curry and two side dishes.
A friendly man with a warm smile - the stall owner, who goes only by Mr Odi - is happy to explain what is on offer for the day.
When I visit, items on the menu include fish curry made with tuna, Devil chicken curry, and snake gourd in a thick coconut curry.
The five vegetable dishes include a fresh kale mallung, which is made by finely slicing kale and mixing it with grated coconut and red onions. The freshness of this dish balances the heavy coconut flavours in all the other dishes.
01-280 Tekka Centre, 665 Buffalo Road
open: 7.30am to 8.30pm (Tuesday to Sunday), closed on Monday, tel: 9105-0475/ 9774-5788
Rating: 3.5/5 stars
There are also deep-fried options such as fish and chicken cutlet. The delicious fish cutlet, with the texture of a croquette, is crispy and warm, adding a crunchy element to my mix of dishes.
Sri Lankan dhal (parippu) is ladled on the rice as a standard item and customers can also get crispy pappadum crackers on the side.
If you don't feel like having rice, you can choose string hoppers or pol roti, which looks like prata.
Either way, this is one of the more unique options among the plethora of foods available in Tekka, and if you are ever craving Sri Lankan food, this certainly hits the spot.

It started off well enough - I started editing the second half of a manuscript, and dealt with some emails. Then disaster struck. I switched off my PC so my cleaner could do my office - on rebooting, my keyboard refused to work and my mouse froze. Panicked, I rang my beloved P for urgent advice. Nothing worked and in the end I was forced to borrow his keyboard - it's old and it sticks so typing is a slow nightmare. Hopefully, we'll be able to sort out my own keyboard tonight. Then my printer went on the blink - I'd just typed up a few invoices but the printer would only spit blank paper at me. I sent the bills by PDF in the end, but I still need paper copies for my accounts.
That was my next task. The tax year has ended and I need to close my books. I spent an hour ploughing through bank statements to see who's paid me. It's mostly up to date. I just need to fill in the rest of my expenses then I can close the books and call my accountant.
I've received another request for help from the ignorant paper editor. I decided to let them sweat - I haven't replied yet as I'm still mulling over the best way to approach this diplomatically but firmly. I really do not want to be bothered by these stupid questions, they eat into my time and it's not my job to sort out this person's problems.
All suggestions on a postcard gratefully received...

As press briefings go, it rocked. On Thursday night, Van Halen took to the stage of the venerable Cafe Wha? on MacDougal Street in Greenwich Village, capacity 250. "Last time I stood on a stage this low, we had to have the car back by midnight," said the singer David Lee Roth. The objective was to prove Van Halen is alive and amicable for an arena tour that starts Feb. 18 in Louisville, Ky.,after the Feb. 7 release of a new album, "A Different Kind of Truth." It's to be Van Halen's first full album with Mr. Roth as lead singer since the band fired him in 1985, although they have done previous reunion tours.

Abstract and Keywords
This article explores Samuel Taylor Coleridge's career as a public man of letters. Coleridge published in newspapers, magazines, and annuals throughout his life. His intense involvement in periodicals was in the years 1797 to 1803, when he was writing prose and poetry regularly for the London daily papers, and in the 1820s, when the growth in popularity of literary magazines and annuals coincided with his need for a new audience. The article discusses Coleridge's conception of public writing and its relation with temporality.

National interest? Cameron governs in his own – and that of the rich
We were discussing David Cameron and the respect due to him for his record in government. You may recall that the phrase used most often when the Coalition was formed (publicly, at least) in May 2010 was "in the national interest". This week, his government's work has included extending the amount of time new claimants will have to wait for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) and Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) from three days to seven days.

Being Okay With Discomfort
By Leigh Hall, Guest blogger
Leigh Hall is an associate professor at UNC, where she teaches literacy courses in the Elementary Education program, the M.Ed. for Experienced Teachers program, and for students preparing to be scholars in the field of literacy. She blogs about education generally, blogging in the classroom, literacy education, and yoga. Like her stuff? Follow her on Twitter.
Over on my yoga blog, I recently discussed how I went to a class that was very different from what I was used to doing. As a result, I experienced plenty of moments where I was uncomfortable. This discomfort was never anything bad or painful. It was mostly me being confused about what was happening around me and how to be a full participant. The yoga class I experienced had different ways of doing things than the one I normally take.
As I was taking this class, I became aware of my confusion and general discomfort, but I also became aware of the fact that I was OK with it. I might have been confused about how to get in/out of a posture, but I was ok with that. I was ok if I never fully got in a posture or had to sit out an watch for a bit. I was ok with trying to figure out how to participate, and I was ok with exploring the boundaries of what I could contribute to the class.
And as I was experiencing all this, I realized something – my being ok with discomfort has some implications for how we think about our teaching.
I do things in my classes that push on students' comfort level all the time. Sometimes I know to expect this, and others times I am surprised when it happens. I ask students to do more than sit for a lecture, write a paper, look for "right" answers, and pass the class. I expect them to contribute – even have input on how the class is shaped – and sometimes I give very loose directions for assignments on purpose (see the Explore Project as an example).
I don't set up assignments/experiences for students with the sole intent of making them be uncomfortable. I just recognize that some of what I do may come across as non-traditional to them (I really don't think it's that out there) and as a result make them uncomfortable.
Students at all levels are pretty much used to school being a passive experience. From what I can tell, they are pretty comfortable with it being passive. We have all moved through a system where we were rewarded for being passive and following the rules. If someone expects you to do something slightly left of center it can be a bit unnerving. I've seen students try to take an assignment and restructure it to fit in their comfortable box. Sometimes they work very hard to make it fit that box. If they meet the requirements, I let them do it. I don't force them to engage with the discomfort, but I think it says a lot about their experiences, how they interpret them, and how they respond if something different is offered up.
On the flip side, faculty are not necessarily any better. I've had people say no to ideas I've presented that were intended to improve programs with the sole argument being they didn't want to have to learn anything new. I'm not saying my idea would have worked – that's not the point. But I have been waved off to do whatever I want within the confines of my own class because people were not ready/did not want to learn/were comfortable with how they did things (we've always done it like X!). Go do it with your own students and leave me alone is not an uncommon message to my ears.
So we all get stuck. Sometimes getting unstuck requires you to engage in a certain level of discomfort. I've been lucky in that my yoga practice has forced me to learn how to engage with discomfort. Well, no it didn't. It presented me with the opportunity and at some point I started to engage with it. I'm sure I ignored it for awhile because it's not fun. Engaging with discomfort is all kinds of not fun, but it's how we learn. It's how we grow.
In my teaching, I look for ways to push myself. This means that I am constantly putting myself in situations where I have no idea how things will go and yes, I am uncomfortable. As a result, my students might experience some discomfort. I can't make them engage in it. But I hope they know that doing so is a powerful way to grow.

- 60-Day No-Hassle Returns
- FREE Package Insurance
- Members-Only Promotions
100% Pronativ Whey Isolate Protein Powder! Improves Muscle Power, Recovery Time, Performance And Muscle Adaptations!
PRONATIV Whey is the cleanest, most advanced Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) available. It preserves the super impactful immunoglubulins that are typically lost when producing a highly purified WPI while still almost completely removing unnecessary fats, lactose, carbohydrates, and cholesterol, so you get what your muscles crave: pure protein.
While WPI is typically extracted during the production of chesse, PRONATIV Whey is extracted directly from the milk of grass-fed dairy sources. Rather than the traditional method of using two high-temperature pasteurization processes, PRONATIV Whey uses a patented technology that uses low temperature micro and ultrafiltration. By using these methods, the bioactive and natural properties of the whey are better preserved - yielding the most advanced WPI extract.
From a performance perspective, PRONATIV is the most innoovative WPI on the market. A clinical study comparing an exercise program accompanied by the consumption of PRONATIV Native Whey against traditional WPI resulted in improvements in muscle power, recovery time, performance and muscle adaptions.
For ideal mixability, add 1 rounded scoop of Iso Pro Grass-Fed Native Whey to 16-20 fl. oz. of cold water and mix immediately.
25g of exclusively PRONATIV Whey Isolate Protein per serving

I am so sick of getting a sore throat, perusing WebMD for a good two hours, only to self-diagnose myself with rabies. Now I'm stuck with the task of trying to talk myself out of this obviously rational thought.
Have you ever been inside my head, WebMD? It's not fun is it? And yeah… I haven't figured out why it's so sticky yet either.
So stop telling me I'm going to die, WebMD! Or that I'm pregnant, which is basically telling me I'm dead, you asshole.
Sadly, this is a true story. I actually thought I had rabies two weeks ago. I woke up after a night of drinking with a weird scratch on my wrist that looked like an animal bit me and it didn't help when people confirmed this fear.
"That looks like an animal bit you...hard."
So of course at 2 AM and quite possibly buzzed, I found it completely necessary to Google the symptoms of rabies, which inevitably led me to magical land called WebMD.
Now, was it just a coincidence that I had an ill-fated bite mark on my left wrist? And that I had a terrible sore throat that day, which inevitably got worse as I coughed up my beer at the sight of the symptoms of rabies? AND come on, who isn't scared shitless by water?!
Obviously, I didn't sleep that night. And obviously, now my poor roommate was bestowed with the gift of having to talk me out of the absolutely real rabies diagnoses.
"Matt, tell me I don't have rabies."
"You don't have rabies."
"Are you sure?"
"So I have rabies?"
"You have rabies."
"…God damnit."
I wish all of this wasn't true. I wish I wasn't fucking crazy, but sadly this is what happens when crazy ladies are given access to Google.
I can honestly tell you I've been freaking out about this rabies "situation" for the past two weeks AND I can tell you that if I suddenly stop posting... it's because I've died from rabies.
In lieu of flowers, please send pizza and cases of Michelob Ultra to St. William of York. She was a sassy bloke and will surely be missed… by her dog, Stella.
So let's eat and drink until we all vomit, it's what Natalie would have wanted.

By MORGAN ADDERLEY
Tribune Staff Reporter
HEALTH Minister Dr Duane Sands yesterday said the possibility of doctors withdrawing services is "looking less and less likely" as there continues to be "tremendous progress" in negotiations between the Consultant Physicians Staff Association (CPSA) and the Public Hospitals Authority (PHA).
Dr Sands added there has "certainly" been more progress with the CPSA than with the Bahamas Nurses Union, which has also threatened industrial action.
"Certainly we are very pleased with the fact that the CPSA and the Public Hospitals Authority have been at the table and there has been progress," Dr Sands told The Tribune yesterday.
"The fact that the parties are communicative, the fact that even though sometimes the exchange can be somewhat tense, I believe that we have made tremendous progress."
On October 5, more than 70 senior doctors voted to obtain a strike certificate, a move which illustrates that union members are willing to withdraw services if the PHA does not meet their requests.
The CPSA is seeking greater financial benefits for its members, but the PHA insists there is not enough money to give it to them.
On November 12, it was reported that senior physicians were considering withdrawing their services over the issue.
Regarding this potential withdrawal, Dr Sands said: "Certainly with the CPSA, that is looking less and less likely. Obviously, they have obtained a strike vote and PHA, and certainly the Ministry of Health takes this very, very seriously.
"That said, given the progress, we would like to continue to build on what is an absolutely critical relationship with the leaders in healthcare.
"The physicians that form the membership of CPSA are ultimately responsible for the delivery of healthcare in our tertiary hospitals. And the role that they play cannot be minimised or underestimated."
The nurses' union has also threatened industrial action to oppose a shift change proposed by the PHA.
When asked about negotiations with BNU, Dr Sand said: "Can't say that we have had the same kind of progress there. And we continue to encourage the dialogue between the (BNU) and the (PHA).
"But, in terms of giving you a real snapshot of the progress, certainly there has been more progress with the (CPSA) than there has been with the (Bahamas) Nurses Union."
On October 31, BNU President Amancha Williams suggested nurses will not be showing up for their new shifts on December 13 as she maintained there was no legal grounds to penalise non-compliance.
"They can't penalise nobody if no nurses show up on December 13," Mrs Williams had said earlier.
"It doesn't matter if we don't have (a strike certificate) in hand. I don't have to work, you can't cut my pay, you didn't give me that shift, that wasn't agreed upon. It was unilaterally done (by PHA) and it should not be done that way."
The PHA has maintained the new shift system can be imposed because of an agreement signed with BNU by its former president in 2014.
However, the union has said that document was never adopted into the nurses' industrial agreement with the government.

Since the Local Elections were held in Stockton-on-Tees members who were elected or re-elected on 3 May have been invited to attend a series of Member Induction sessions on a host of topics from planning to licensing, casework management to employee appeals. I've attended a number of these sessions and also have quite a few in the diary over the coming weeks.
Tomorrow I will meet Helen Dixon from the Council's Housing Regeneration Team to get an update on Norton Park, the development between Norton Village and Stockton Town Centre. It's always good to hear how things are progressing on site. Keepmoat expect to build 174 high quality two and three bedroomed homes on the development by its completion. Many residents have already moved in and are enjoying living there.
On Friday I will join Julie Danks, the Council's Interim Managing Director, in a meeting with Superintendent Alison Jackson from Cleveland Police. Alison is the lead officer for all policing issues across the Borough and it's important that we have regular contact and keep updated on issues so we can work together effectively. Straight after this meeting Julie and I will also be updated by officers who specialise in services for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and their families.
Monday will see me attend the Member Induction on Police, Fire and the Tees Valley Combined Authority before a Cabinet briefing takes place at the Town Hall.
On Tuesday I will meet with Richard McGuckin, the Council's Director of Economic Growth and Development for an update on projects across the Stockton-on-Tees area, inward investment opportunities as well as wider discussions about any other issues which sit in his area.
Can't find what you're looking for? Let us know and we'll do our best to point you in the right direction

Hi, I am looking for my first digital SLR having had an increasing interest in photography over the last couple of years.
I'm looking to get a good camera and lens on a very limited budget and am more than happy to focus (no pun intended) on the second-hand market (ebay etc). Maximum budget will be around £200 (or $300) - don't laugh please!
Any initial recommendations would be great. I really enjoy taking landscape pictures so that is probably my primary driver camera-wise although I'd obviously like something that gives me the flexibility to shoot all other types of photos to a decent standard also.
Any ideas greatly appreciated,
Many thanks,

Posts Tagged 'repetitive stress injuries'
At some point or another, we have all experienced that familiar "pins-and-needles" feeling that signals a hand or a foot is "falling asleep." Few people, however, take the time to ask themselves what this really means. In most cases, this feeling is the result of a "pinched nerve." Although a pinched nerve is usually only a mild annoyance that can be massaged away, it can sometimes be a symptom of a more serious problem. If you are experiencing the numbness, pain, or weakness that can result from a pinched nerve it may be a good idea to come in to the Synergy Sports Wellness Institute™ so we can assess the cause of your discomfort. Our Certified Synergy doctors will be able to give you a complete diagnosis and perform therapeutic techniques that can prevent further damage and may even help keep the issue from recurring in the future.
Most of the pinched nerves that we deal with at the Synergy Sports Wellness Institute™ are the result of repetitive stress injuries. When we repeat even small motions over and over again, the repeated stress can cause microscopic tears in muscles, tendons, and ligaments, causing the affected tissues to become swollen. This inflammation effectively squeezes the nerves against nearby bones, resulting in conditions like tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome. Pinched nerves are also very common in the neck and back, where spinal nerves travel through narrow spaces between the individual vertebrae. Flat, round "cushions" called intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers between each vertebra in your spine. As we age and these disks wear out, the distance between the vertebrae shrinks, pinching the nerves between them. This condition, called a herniated disk, may cause neck or low back pain, depending upon where the nerves are being compressed. In some cases it may even cause pain that radiates from the neck into the shoulder and arm (cervical radiculopathy) or pain that radiates into the leg and foot (lumbar radiculopathy or sciatic nerve pain).
Regardless of the location involved, compressed nerves are typically best dealt with using massage and chiropractic adjustment. In many cases, our Synergy trained chiropractors and massage therapists will use specifically targeted techniques, like trigger point therapy or foam rolling, depending on the needs of the patient. These therapies not only help improve circulation while reducing inflammation, but also help bring the muscles and bones into proper alignment, potentially relieving the pressure on the nerves.
If left untreated, the damage from a pinched nerve may cause long-lasting problems, and the earlier you get a diagnosis and treatment for nerve compression, the more quickly you'll find relief. If you are concerned that you may have a pinched nerve, or if you are interested in discussing any of the other conditions that we can treat, please contact us today at (404) 352-8900. When you come in for a consultation, our Synergy™ trained chiropractors and massage therapists can work with you to find the ideal treatment approach for your injury. Don't forget to follow us on social media for the latest news and information about sports medicine and chiropractic care in Atlanta.

3 Cyber Monday Specials for Authors157 Opinions
Making isn't basic, and posting an excellent scenario is even harder.
I designed to wonder how Pixar came out with your very good movie films, time and time again. Then, I discovered a typical Pixar motion picture needs 6 years and years to build up, and the majority of of that time is used on the storyplot.
Below, you'll discover 10 tricks concerning how to write a story, and more importantly, how to write a tale that's excellent.
Free of cost Help: Want to be a publisher? Get our completely free 10-stage guide to being a copy writer listed here and achieve your goal today. Click this link to install your best guide instantaneously.
All kinds of things I Am Aware Concerning how to Create a tale
Since I Have up and running The Compose Put into practice some time ago, I've been planning to cover my scalp throughout this query, crafting a fantastic account. I've examine textbooks and articles or content on simply writing, consumed groups, requested a large number of writers, and, keep in mind, written and published memories my own self.
These twenty basic steps would definitely be a distillation of everything I've learned about publishing a good report. I really hope it will make writing your story a little easier, but more than that, I hope it complications yourself to stage farther into the unique research of crafting a story.
1. Write Inside A Single Laying
Compose the initial draft in the article in as fairly short an era as possible. If you're producing a brief narrative, attempt to prepare it within a resting. If you're producing a new, try to post it inside a single months (ninety days).
Don't concern excessive about plotting or outlining ahead of time. You can apply that when you know you have a adventure to share in the first instance. The initial write is usually a breakthrough process. You happen to be such as an archeologist excavating an ancient area out of your clay-based. You could have a handful of signs about where by your destination is hidden before you start, and you don't realize what it will look like until eventually it's unearthed.
All that's to speak about, get excavating!
2. Cultivate Your Protagonist
Accounts are about protagonists, and in case you don't have a very good protagonist, you won't have a great history. The essential substance for each and every protagonist is simply because they will have to make actions. Victor Frankl pointed out, "A human being can be a coming to a decision being." Your protagonist needs to make a decision for getting herself into whatsoever chaos she gets into in the tale, and also, she needs to choose to get themselves away from the mess.
To advance produce your protagonist, use other individuality archetypes like the villain, the protagonist's complete opposite, or the fool, a sidekick personality that shows the protagonist's smoother part.
3. Make Suspense and Drama
To provide suspense, establish a dramatic question. A significant real question is something similar to, "Is he intending to make it?" or, "Is she getting the person of her desires?" By having your protagonist's fate uncertain, you make your reader talk to, What will happen up coming?
Observe: Of doing this efficiently, you should mindfully reduce the pass of knowledge for the website reader. Not much eradicates drama like in excess of-featuring.
4. Demonstrate to, Don't Convey to
Frankly, the saying "demonstrate to, don't notify" is over-used. But, when positioned next to the stride in this article, it might be powerful.
When a specific thing helpful occur in your history that alterations the fate to your identity, don't inform us concerning it. Demonstrate the world! Your potential customers use a proper ro discover the most beneficial components of the story plot play the game out before them. Illustrate the interesting regions of your narrative, and show the other parts.
5. Generate Excellent Dialogue
Superior dialogue stems from 2 things: personal an understanding of your personalities and plenty of rewriting.
Each individual figure will need to have a distinctive sound, and to make sure that your figures all smart varied, browse just about every character's conversation and ask all by yourself, "Does this seem like my charm?" If your main response is no, then you really incorporate some rewriting to try and do.
Also, with your loudspeaker labels, try not to use anything but "he was quoted saying" and "she explained." Presenter tag like "he exclaimed," "she unveiled," and "he spoke vehemently" are annoying and pointless. The irregular "he requested" is ok, though.
6. Discuss Fatality
Take into account the continue some novels you study. In what number of them do a character pass on? Very good accounts generally come with loss of life. Harry Potter, The Cravings for food Games, Charlotte's Website, The Lord for the Bands, and more all received principal heroes who died. Deaths is the universal subject since each individual who life will some day pass away. Touch the strength of fatality in the storytelling.
7. Redo As a Master
Most skilled professional freelance writers write a few drafts or over. The very first write can be referred to as "vomit write" as well as "shitty first write." Don't promote it with everyone! Your to start with write is the probability to experience your adventure and know what it's about.
Your subsequent write isn't for improving, even though many new authors will attempt to shine every time they can to completely clean up their discomforting 1st write. In its place, another draft is designed for main architectural modifications for clarifying the plan and character types of this fresh and the primary options of this non-stories novel.
The 3rd draft is for significant improving. Now could be when all sorts of things actually starts to gel. This can be the entertaining piece! But until you create the very first two drafts, polishing may perhaps be a complete waste of your energy and time.
8. Are aware of the Guidelines, Then Rest Them
Good writers know all the restrictions and stick with them. Amazing authors know all the requirements and split them. On the other hand, the top writers don't break up the principles arbitrarily. They destroy them since their testimonies have to have another variety of restrictions. Respect the guidelines, but remember for which you don't help the guidelines. You serve your experiences.
9. Defeat Writer's Prohibit
The best way to overcome freelance writers inhibit is almost always to publish. If you're tangled, don't strive to come up with actually. Don't try to be home page essayeditors.org ideal. Just create.
Often, to post considerably better accounts, you must start by using the stress out and just writing.
10. Present Your Hard Work
You publish much better when you know anyone will soon be browsing what you've written. For those who come up with at nighttime, not one person are fully aware of in the event you aren't getting your posting everything you could have. However when you present your creating, you have to deal with the potential of disaster. This can make you generate the best quality narrative you possibly can.
How to define your very best self how to write down a tale?
Do you have a experience to know?
Generate the earliest write in a single relaxing using the tips on top of. Then, discuss a few lines in the practice in the observations department. And in case you discuss your train, be sure to make feed back on the number of tactics by other authors, far too.

Party Etiquette: The Dos and Don'ts of Kid Birthday Parties
Apr 25, 2015 11:29AM
By Hood Magazine
By Ashley Sandborn, Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center
As a parent, kid birthday parties can often be overwhelming―not only to throw them but also to attend parties of your children's fellow classmates. There are plenty of tricky issues that can arise, like money and invitations; however, Doniese Wilcox and Betty Barto-Smith, Certified Family Life Educators at Avera Children's Hospital & Clinics, provide a quick and helpful guide to kids' birthday party etiquette and how to handle every birthday party with ease.
If You're Hosting a Party…
- Practice. Prior to the party, have your child practice opening presents. It's also important to teach proper etiquette and social skills. For example, practice how to greet guests as well as how to thank them for gifts.
- Invites. You're not obligated to invite the entire classroom. In fact, many families follow the "age plus one" rule. For example, a party for a 4-year-old should have five attendees.
- Presents. There are pros and cons to opening presents at the party. The benefits are that it's good to teach your child about opening gifts and receiving graciously. It's also good for the guests to see the happiness their presents have brought. However, it can be difficult for young children to open gifts. They often get overly excited, which can make it difficult to maintain focus. They also might blurt out that they don't like a particular gift they've received. Therefore, it's important to again practice these situations with your children prior to the party. Lastly, if your child receives an expensive gift, be grateful. Don't refuse it simply because it's too much. Everyone who has thought of your child enough to bring him/her a gift deserves a special, warm thank you. Each family decides what dollar amount works for their budget and each gift is special.
- RSVP. You can either put on the invite, "If I don't receive an RSVP by (date), I will assume your child will not be attending the party." Or you can give a date by which you want RSVPs, and a method or two to reach you. Then, one week before the party, call any families you haven't heard from and give them a friendly reminder, such as, "I just wanted to quickly call to see if your child is coming to the party because I'm trying to get an accurate head count. Here's the time and date of the party. Thanks!"
If You're Attending a Party…
- Presents. There is no right amount to spend on a present. Therefore, spend whatever is in your budget.
- Bringing more than one guest: If you have two or more kids, you should ask if it's OK if siblings also attend the party. Furthermore, you should stick around if the sibling is an infant or toddler, and always offer to pay all expenses for additional guests. If possible, try and make other arrangements for the sibling.
- Not invited? If your child is not invited to a classmate's party, try and validate your child's feelings of disappointment and help him or her learn to be the bigger person.
- Can't attend? You're not obligated to buy a gift, but you can if you want to.

Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP ("Scott+Scott"), an international securities and consumer rights litigation firm, is investigating certain directors and officers of Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. ("Live Nation") (NYSE: LYV) for breaching their fiduciary duties to Live Nation and its shareholders. If you are a Live Nation shareholder, you may contact attorney Joe Pettigrew for additional information toll-free at 844-818-6982 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
In 2010, a consent decree was reached with the federal government in connection with the merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster. Under the 2010 consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice ("DOJ"), Ticketmaster was required to license its primary software to a competitor and was barred from retaliating against venue owners who use a competing ticket service.
Scott+Scott is investigating whether Live Nation's board or directors or senior management caused Live Nation to violate the 2010 consent decree, in breach of their fiduciary duties to Live Nation, and whether Live Nation has suffered damages as a result.
On December 13, 2019, Reuters reported that the DOJ was preparing to take action against Live Nation for violations of the 2010 consent decree and that the concert promoter may have strong-armed concert venues into using its dominant Ticketmaster subsidiary. Reuters further reported that the DOJ now plans to extend the consent decree, currently set to expire next year, by several years to prohibit Live Nation's coercive conduct.
What You Can Do
If you are a Live Nation shareholder, you may have legal claims against Live Nation's directors and officers. If you wish to discuss this investigation, or have questions about this notice or your legal rights, please contact attorney Joe Pettigrew toll-free at 844-818-6982 or email@example.com.

Last night Pastor Peter shared with us at the Northern New England District Fall Leaders Conference. He shared a message titled "It's Not Your Baby" and it really helped me gain more perspective in all that I do. For the last 10 years I have been serving the youth of Grace Capital Church and I love what I do. My dream would be to be the Generations Pastor at Grace Capital Church fifty years from now. This role just fits me well and it is where my passion is. But it's not my baby. At any time things could change. At any time God could call me elsewhere. I can not allow myself to hold too tightly to my position here. It is not what I do that defines who I am. Who I am draws me to do what I do.
I find this message ringing in my ears as we are entering into a transition within our district structuring. For the last five years I have served in the role of district youth director. I have loved serving in this role and have greatly enjoyed the time that Kim and I have been able to lead at the summer camps. The relationships that I have with so many from around this district are fantastic and I enjoy being able to share my life and experiences with them. As we are transitioning there are many uncertainties as to what the new district will look like, who will be leading, and what I will be doing. All of these unanswered questions have brought about a bit of concern as to who will be leading in the future. Again, not my baby. I am holding the role that I serve in loosely and know that whoever steps into this role in the future we will continue to have an incredible ministry with youth in this district.
Pastor Peter's message brought about a new found freedom in my spirit. I have known these things all along and have never tried to do anything to grasp at my position. I feel very fortunate to have such a fantastic team around me that has the ability to run the youth ministry without me when I am away. It is humbling sometimes to think about that. Even when I am traveling and can not be at Impact – it still goes on. They don't need me as much as I sometimes want to be needed… But that is the true measure of my effectiveness as a leader. The fact that they can go on without me helps me see that I am doing what I need to be doing in raising up and releasing new leaders. I would never want to see Impact fade and fizzle away simply because I was not around. I want what we do to impact the youth of central NH to live far beyond my years at GCC. I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon but if it ever happens I want to ensure that what the ministry that I am a part of goes on.
What about you? Do you understand that it's not your baby? Are you doing what you need to be doing in order to keep the ministry you serve in going beyond your time? Are you holding onto something so tight not knowing that you have already lost it?

I got a nice idea from a blog that I read about Christmas cards.. I hung some line around my curtain rod/crutains and used clothes pins to fasten the cards onto the line..
It works much better than a card "wreath".. You can view the whole card.. You can just add more line to other windows if you need more room for other cards :)
For the last 16 years we have put up a 9.5 foot tree.. this year we have a 6 ft. tree...
The coloring in these pictures is really off..(also took in semi-dark room) The camera I usally use quit working..but I have a "feeling" I will be getting a new one for Christmas :) LOL
Anyway-hopefully this idea will be something that may come in handy for you...

Jet Airways , India's largest airline by market share, aims to increase domestic low-fare capacity to 80-85 per cent of the total fleet from present 72 per cent, a top official said on Wednesday.
The airline is also considering more low-fare flights for short-haul international routes, Sudheer Raghavan, chief commercial officer, told reporters on the sidelines of the company's annual general meeting.
In April-June, Jet had posted a much lower-than-expected net loss on better revenue and a one-time gain.
"Globally, the push towards low cost (airlines) is real. There will be a progressive transfer of capacity from the full service to low fare," Raghavan said.
The company runs low-fare service under brand names Jet Konnect and JetLite and is in the process of discussing the possibility of merging the two.
The company management is undertaking an in-depth review of the business model, including multiplicity of low-fare brands being offered in the market place, its Chairman Naresh Goyal said in a statement.
The company will soon be making changes to enable it to compete more effectively and retain its dominant position in the Indian market, he said.
The officials, however, said the full service brand would continue to play a dominant role both in domestic and international space.
Cutting Debt, Interest Costs
The airline is in the process of converting a loan of about Rs 5 billion ($110.16 million) into dollar debt in the current fiscal year and plans to repay about Rs 15 billion ($330.5 million) of debt this year, said M. Shivkumar, senior vice-president - finance.
Jet has converted about Rs 25 billion ($550.84 million) of local currency loans to dollar-denominated debt from last October, he said.
The move would help the airline save about Rs 1.75 billion ($38.55 million) in interest costs in FY12, he said.
The airline had a debt of about Rs 133.7 billion ($2.94 billion) by end-June.
Jet had earlier this month signed a deal with Godrej Properties to develop part of the airline's land bank in Mumbai into an office complex.
Shares of Jet Airways, valued at by market, plunged 12.96 per cent to close at Rs 304.55 on Wednesday in a firm Mumbai market.

Hello my fellow readers,
Starting Monday, I'll be publishing for a few days a New Series of posts.
Be sure to follow it, it will become more interesting over time.
For the passion of writing….
Hello my fellow readers,
Starting Monday, I'll be publishing for a few days a New Series of posts.
Be sure to follow it, it will become more interesting over time.
Not many believe in the Day of Judgment. Of course not! We're in the 21th century, we're so sophisticated that we prefer to believe in what we have proof or in what we think make sense. "The story of ancient times" are too old for us to think about or to still believe in.
Wrong! The Holy Scriptures are never too old. All of them warn us about that Day where we'll be judged for our deeds. Those who believe in this Event are divided in two groups, those who believe that we'll attain the judgment with our bodies and those who believe that it will be with our souls only.
In my opinion, souls are not made of matter, hence they shouldn't fear to be punished as nothing can harm them, they're spirits after all.
Bodies are made of matter, they can feel the pain or the joys, so they can be rewarded or punished.
I am of those who believe that we'll attain the judgment with our bodies.
If you've read this far, it means that you're interested. Good! So now comes the interesting part.
You may have previously read my book The Theory of Fate where I've given detailed explanations on what the Holy Scriptures say about that Day, in accordance with what science says. And you probably remember that Volcanoes will be the source of the Apocalypse and the Day of Judgment.
Well, I have a little update to the book, which you won't find in it because it takes a long time to edit and upload again. I preferred to add it here.
I've been reading randomly one of the Holy Scriptures; the Quran. And I've noticed something that I haven't seen before. These verses:
28. Woe on that Day to the deniers.
29. "Proceed to what you used to deny."
30. "Proceed to a shadow of three columns."
31. Offering no shade, and unavailing against the flames.
32. It shoots sparks as castles.
33. As if they were bundles of rope (or "bright yellow cooper").
34. Woe on that Day to the falsifiers.
35. This is a Day when they will not speak.
36. And they will not be allowed to apologize.
37. Woe on that Day to the rejecters.
38. This is the Day of Separation; We have gathered you, together with the ancients.
This sentence "Proceed to a shadow of three columns." is the answer to a question I've mentioned in the book; how many Super Volcanoes will be active on the Day of Judgment. The answer is: three, simple as that.
But where exacly will they be?
The hotspots are the tunnels from where the magma gets out. As the Earth's crust is in constant move, every few millions of years the hotspots change places. For instance, the Yellowstone which is in Wyoming, will be in the Pacific Ocean.
This is the picture of Pangea Ultima (the next super continent) I've found online.
These are the current super volcanoes location
If we locate all the super volcanoes on this map, they will be about here:
Three of these will be enough in the Day of Judgment.
But how many will there be for the End of The World?
Only God knows when the Apocalypse will be upon us. So let's not forget what awaits us, because when that day comes, there is no coming back.
If you want to know more about what the Holy Scriptures and Science say about the Apocalypse, you can buy the book here.
It will be only a single decree
The day when the horn will be blown and we shall gather them together while they will have turned blue on that day and will be whispering among themselves: you did not remain (in the graves) more than ten (days).
And (remember) the day when the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and the angels shall be sent down, with a grand descending.
And when the trumpet is sounded, that day it will be a distressful day
And listen, the day when the caller will call from a place nearby
Surely the day of decision is an appointed time a day when the trumpet will be blown, and you will come in large groups and the heaven shall be opened, and it will become as gates and the mountains shall be moved away from their places and they will be as if they were a mirage
They wait only but a single shout which will size them while they are disputing then they will not be able to make bequest nor they will return to their family and the trumpet will be blown (2nd blow) and behold from the Graves they will come out quickly to their Lord
How will you do then, if you disbelieve, guard yourselves against a day which will turn the children's hair grey
When the order will come the horn will be blown, but the thing is that at first I thought that this loud sound would come from the supervolcano but a lot worst than the Krakatoe volcano did. But then I changed my mind when I read this verse And listen, the day when the caller will call from a place nearby. This verse is speaking of a creature who calls. It will be such a loud sound that it will be able to kill all of us instantly they will not be able to make bequest nor they will return to their family. Actually it is normal that a really loud sound kills someone:
Can sound kill you? The short answer is "yes" — and, rather shockingly, the European Space Agency says that it now has such a sonic weapon in its arsenal that, if it was so inclined, could kill you. For the long answer, read on.
The question is, is 154 decibels enough to kill you? In all honesty, probably not — unless, perhaps, you were stuck with your head inside the horn for a prolonged period. 150 decibels is usually considered enough to burst your eardrums, but the threshold for death is usually pegged at around 185-200 dB. A passenger car driving by at 25 feet is about 60 dB, being next to a jackhammer or lawn mower is around 100 dB, a nearby chainsaw is 120 dB. Generally, 150 dB (eardrum rupture) is only achieved if you stand really close to a jet aircraft during take-off or you're near an explosive blast.
If you actually wanted to intentionally kill someone with a sonic weapon, there isn't a whole lot of research on how you would actually go about doing it. The general consensus is that a loud enough sound could cause an air embolism in your lungs, which then travels to your heart and kills you. Alternatively, your lungs might simply burst from the increased air pressure. (Acoustic energy is just waves of varying sound pressure; the higher the energy, the higher the pressure, the louder the sound.) In some cases, where there's some kind of underlying physical weakness, loud sounds might cause a seizure or heart attack — but there's very little evidence to suggest this.
Perhaps more significantly, though, it's important to note that a sonic weapon doesn't have to be lethal or incredibly loud to be effective. High-intensity ultrasonic sound (generally anything above 20KHz) can cause physical damage. Some very low frequencies (infrasound) can apparently cause your eyeballs to vibrate, making it very hard to see. Targeted "sonic bullets" that cause localized pain (or simply burst your eardrums) is probably enough to immobilize most non-action-hero humans.
When the heaven shall be opened and becomes as gates, that's not something we can see with our present eyes. There are two things which might turn the childrens's hair grey. Either the sun's Uv's or the volcanes ashes.
Tomorrow as you might know is "Around a cup Of Tea" but there will also be the Conclusion of The Theory Of Fate
"Light will disappear from the stars in the sky; the dawning sun will turn dark, and the moon will lose its glow. "
Many verses speak of the darkening sun and the light less moon and the disappearing stars in the sky, but is that the real understanding?
Our sun is 4.5 billion years old and he's not ready to die yet, he still have a long life to live. He will grow brighter and brighter in the next billion years till he won't have any more hydrogen to burn. In the meantime 10% increase in the sun's brightness in the next billion year, will mark the beginning of the evaporation of our oceans. As the oceans evaporate, more and more water will be present in the atmosphere, this will act as a greenhouse gas, trapping even more heat and causing more and more of the oceans to evaporate, until the ground is mostly dry and the atmosphere holds the water, but at an extremely high temperature. So it seems likely that we have no more than a billion years left for life to thrive on our planet. About 7.6 billion years from now, the sun will reach its maximum size as a red giant: its surface will extend beyond Earth's orbit today by 20 percent and will shine 3,000 times brighter. In its final stage, he would be 256 times bigger than he is now before collapsing into a white dwarf.
Stars are born and die every day in our galaxy while their light reaches us long after their present state. So most of the stars we see today won't exist anymore by the time our sun turns into a red giant. If we look toward the galactic bulge we'll see a whole area of newly formed stars, that's why it's so bright. Now if we turn toward the other side it won't be as much because all of them are old.
We take knowledge of our satellite since our childhood, we know how it orbits earth, and we know how eclipses are formed. Some are called solar eclipses and some lunar eclipses. Total solar eclipse forms when the moon comes between the sun and earth, total lunar eclipse happens when the Earth moves in between the Sun and the Moon. As we know the Moon does not have any light of its own – it shines because its surface reflects sunlight. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon and cuts off the Moon's light supply. When this happens, the surface of the Moon takes on a reddish glow instead of going completely dark. The red color of a totally eclipsed Moon is referred as Blood Moons. So why the red color? It is due to the phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. It is the same mechanism responsible for causing colorful sunrises and sunsets and the sky to look blue. We all know that even though sunlight may look white to human eyes, it is actually composed of different colors. These colors are visible through a prism or in a rainbow. Colors towards the red spectrum have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies compared to colors towards the violet spectrum which have shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies, it's why the red color is more scattered than the blue at dawn and sunrise. You may also see sometimes a reddish moon at sundown for the same reason.
"There was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale. The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place."
Earthquakes are measured by the Richter scale, each magnitude is a hundred times stronger than the previous one. An earthquake is the perceptible shaking of the surface of the Earth, which can be violent enough to destroy major buildings and kill thousands of people. The severity of the shaking can range from barely felt to violent enough to toss people around. Earthquakes (EQ) have destroyed whole cities. They result from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.
EQ are measured using observations from seismometers. The largest in historic times have been of magnitude slightly over 9, although there is no limit to the possible magnitude, the strongest recorded in history was In 1960, Valdivia, Chile with a magnitude of 9.5. If there was one of magnitude 12 even though it doesn't seems likely, it won't be enough to remove every mountain on earth, because the EQ happens in one place with one epicenter that couldn't affect the five continents neither their mountains which are strongly welded in the tectonic plates.
We all know what stars are. A star is a luminous sphere of plasma held together by its own gravity, and our sun is one of them. Other stars are visible from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points in the sky due to their immense distance from Earth. Historically, the most prominent stars were grouped into constellations and asterisms, and the brightest stars gained proper names.
For at least a portion of its life, a star shines due to thermonuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy that traverses the star's interior and then radiates into outer space. Stars are classified by their spectra (the elements that they absorb) and their temperature. There are seven main types of stars. In order of decreasing temperature, O, B, A, F, G, K, and M.
O and B stars are uncommon but very bright; M stars are common but dim. so obviously we can't believe that real stars will Fall on earth can we?
There's another kind of "star", the shooting star which scientifically is called meteoroid. A small rocky or metallic body travelling through space. Meteoroids are significantly smaller than asteroids, and range in size from small grains to 1 meter-wide objects. Objects smaller than this are classified as micrometeoroids or space dust. Most are fragments from comets or asteroids.
When a meteoroid, comet or asteroid enters the Earth's atmosphere at a speed typically in excess of 20 km/s (72,000 km/h), aerodynamic heating of that object produces a streak of light, both from the glowing object and the trail of glowing particles that it leaves in its wake. This phenomenon is called a meteor or "shooting star". A series of many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart, and appearing to originate from the same fixed point in the sky, is called a meteor shower. If that object withstands ablation from its passage through the atmosphere as a meteor and impacts with the ground, it is then called a meteorite.
So it's best to think that this verse speaks of shooting stars.
It is difficult to imagine the sky rolling like a scroll, I thought at first that it might be the sky we see at night the Milky way which is a spiral galaxy, but it will never be possible for us to see it's face – so to speak – because we're on one of its arms. Then I thought of the end of the universe which have three theories:
The first is a closed universe which will end by a big crunch. In a closed universe lacking the repulsive effect of dark energy, gravity eventually stops the expansion of the universe, after which it starts to contract until all matter in the universe collapses to a point, a final singularity termed the "Big Crunch", the opposite of the Big Bang. So it wouldn't roll anything.
The second is the open universe even without dark energy, a negatively curved universe expands forever, with gravity negligibly slowing the rate of expansion. With dark energy, the expansion not only continues but accelerates. The ultimate fate of an open universe is either universal heat death, the "Big Freeze", or the "Big Rip", where the acceleration caused by dark energy eventually becomes so strong that it completely overwhelms the effects of the gravitational, electromagnetic and strong binding forces. Nothing to roll either.
You surely have heard about the book The Theory of Fate
But have you seen the short movie ?

Part 3: Art
Chapter 9: Building Cinderella's World
Designing the Environments
Shopping for Assets
We had to visit a couple different 3D asset stores- no one resource had everything we needed, and in a few cases I ended up creating some props myself. I'm particularly proud of the cauldron lid, which is made up of an upside-down fountain, two chimneys, and a series of capsules and cylinders. Again, if I had infinite time I would have wanted to learn 3D modeling (still do, but couldn't learn it in time for this project) and do a lot more myself, but for less unique objects like trees and whatnot, I was happy to not reinvent the wheel.
I did end up doing few textures from scratch for the Prince's castle- I couldn't find quite the right walls, ceiling or floor tiles so I painted my own and mapped them in. I love how the ceiling came out!
Designing the Characters
I also got to design alternate outfits for the girls- Cinderella's ballgown was pretty limited as we had to match the 3D model for consistency, but I came up with some really cute similar-but-different ballgowns for the stepsisters. The colors were consistent with their regular outfits, and the way the puppets work is that each limb and clothing item is "pinned" to a skeleton that animates. So I was flipping the clothing from the plain dresses to the ballgowns, and they actually matched up pretty well! I did some mix-and-match dress up for fun and then got back to work, haha.
Chapter 10: Animation
Creating the Spine puppets
Gosh, I think all the characters were created around March? (It's October as I'm writing this). I had a lot of puppets to get through- Cinderella, her father, stepmother, two stepsisters, the prince, the prince's assistant, the fairy godmother, and the extras at the dance. I managed to get it down to a routine- it took about a day to take the character sketches and make the finished art in Photoshop, and then another day to export and pin the parts together in Spine. So about two days per character. As time went on we added and changed the puppets for different activities and scenes, and the animations and puppets grew to be pretty complex by the end.
Creating the Animations
Wow this was a doozy! Sooo many animations for those little puppets. I tried to keep track in a spreadsheet but had to give up. It was all of the characters listed above, and they all needed animations- idles, talking, walking, walking and talking, happy, sad- and those were just the basic animations. Specific scenes needed specific actions, like the stepsister tearing up Cinderella's invitation to the ball, the Prince and Cinderella dancing, the girls trying on the shoes, etc, etc).
Complex Animations/Special Cases
I had red about "skins" in Spine and wanted to try them out. It's where you can have several different characters "pinned" to the same skeleton- so you can have multiple characters with different graphics, but they use the same animation sets.
For the Royal Ball, I needed to populate the ballroom- it would be a little empty with just the main characters! So I set out to make an overly complex puppet of a dancing couple that could be displayed from either side (so you could either see the lady's or the gentleman's face), and then also each side had multiple graphic sets for different dancers. I ended up with eight different dancers, and I also set it up so I could change the clothing color, so each dancer had two color variations. It was very intense but I only had to do the animation once, so it was probably all worth it in the end (I hope).
Chapter 11: VR Magic
I think I talked about this already? (Edit: I did).
We started off with standard directional lighting for most of the scenes, and then once we were about 60% of the way through the game, I went through and changed up the lighting- all the outdoor daytime scenes got sunny, blue bright sunlight, the nighttime scenes got a warm moonlight, stars, lantern lights and fireflies (I LOVE THE FIREFLIES). The indoor scenes are mostly lit by candle and lantern light, Cinderella's house also has some warm light shining from the fire under the cauldron and the fireplace.
It was literally like day and night- the scenes become much more atmospheric and evocative, and the characters got cast shadows that are really fun to watch. It's like they're real!!
I do reach out to touch things still in the game. I guess I'm not that used to VR after all.

The voice has stayed with Rosamund Pike. For the new movie "A Private War," the British actress transformed her posh, rounded speech into a distinctive American rasp, to play Marie Colvin, the Long Island-raised, London-based journalist who was killed in Syria in 2012. On tough occasions, Pike still imagines using her tone: It suggests a woman who gets things done.
That voice, along with the patch Colvin wore after she lost an eye to a grenade in Sri Lanka, became her calling cards as she catapulted into war zones around the world, and wrote deeply felt, courageously reported articles for The Sunday Times in London. "A Private War," due Nov. 2, aims to realistically portray her struggles and explain why she persisted. And it could have scarcely arrived at a more apt, and fraught, time.
"This movie has all Marie's gestures and movements," the CNN and PBS anchor Christiane Amanpour, who knew Colvin, wrote in an email. "She was killed, probably directly targeted, for getting the truth out about the Syria war. It's especially relevant given the murder of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi this month. He too was simply speaking the truth."
Colvin's story — her rise as an international correspondent reporting on conflicts in the Middle East, the Balkans and elsewhere; her bravery going into hostile territory to document the civilian cost of war; and ultimately, her death while covering a relentless battle in Homs — is in some ways tailor-made for the big screen. She was undeniably gutsy but suffered post-traumatic stress disorder and other psychological and physical ills from witnessing so much trauma. She was also witty, gregarious and stylish: a natural cinematic heroine.
Women like Colvin — and those before her, like the British correspondent Clare Hollingworth, who broke the news of World War II in Europe, and pioneering photojournalists like Gerda Taro and Dickey Chapelle — have been at the front of conflicts for a century or more, delivering rich material, with fascinating personal tales.
And yet "A Private War" is one of only a handful of Hollywood features that put the focus squarely on female war correspondents in the field — perhaps only the third or fourth such film in decades. By contrast, dozens have followed male journalists abroad, said Matthew Ehrlich, author of "Journalism in the Movies" and a professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Accurately reflecting these women in pop culture "is massively important," Amanpour said. "Especially since females in the field are often portrayed as frivolous, slightly hysterical, sexually promiscuous appendages! I still feel so bad for Martha Gellhorn, the brilliant WWII correspondent, who's forever known as Ernest Hemingway's (third) wife." (The HBO movie about her is "Hemingway & Gellhorn" — a second billing she wouldn't have tolerated.)
"Just like in every other walk of life, if you don't have equal representation, you don't get the full story," Amanpour said. "Marie and I and all the other women now in this field bring an essential dimension to war reporting."
In "Bearing Witness," a 2005 television documentary about female war journalists, Colvin described the idealism that drove her. War "is what happens to people, and no one wants it," she said then. "It's what you try to bear witness to. That makes me think you can sometimes make a difference — attempt to, anyway."
In Hollywood, Pike said, "If Marie had been a man," her biopic "would have been made, maybe more easily. And there probably would have been many actors raising their hand" for the part.
Playing Colvin left an emotional mark; even discussing the production and what Colvin witnessed left her queasy, she said. "I had to be her at all times, which meant carrying her in my body and my bones," she said. She dressed in Colvin's clothes and worked with a movement coach to recreate the way the reporter carried tension in her neck. In between takes, she studiously watched Colvin on tape.
Authenticity was paramount for the director, Matthew Heineman. "The film, for me, is both a homage to Marie and a homage to journalism," he said.
Heineman made his name with documentaries like "City of Ghosts" (2017), about citizen journalists fighting ISIS in Syria, and the Oscar-nominated "Cartel Land" (2015), which confronted the Mexican drug trade. He served as cinematographer on those films, shooting in sometimes dangerous conditions (he kept the camera rolling while dodging bullets in "Cartel Land"). So he had a sense of kinship with the way Colvin pursued her subject.
"Having felt those same adrenaline rushes," he said, "that same crazy backwards desire to be in these places, to tell these stories, and simultaneously feeling that bizarreness of coming home," he felt: "I had to make this film." (It's based on a Vanity Fair article by Marie Brenner.)
"A Private War" is not just Heineman's first feature: it was also his first time on a movie set. In the monthslong shoot in London and Jordan, where they filmed the war scenes, he leaned on his cinematographer, Robert Richardson, a favorite of Martin Scorsese whose credits also include "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July."
And he had a guide in Paul Conroy, Colvin's longtime photographer, who was with her when she died and was gravely wounded himself. His experiences are also the subject of a new documentary, "Under the Wire," adapted from his book of the same name. For "A Private War," Conroy, who's played by Jamie Dornan ("50 Shades of Grey"), was on set daily as an adviser, Heineman said.
Much of the realism came from supporting players in Jordan: for scenes set in Iraq and Homs, Heineman chose people displaced from there, interviewing them to find those whose experiences matched the characters'. "They weren't acting," he said. "They were telling their real stories. And those tears were real tears."
Moments like a group of Iraqi women chanting a prayer as a mass grave of their relatives is uncovered were not scripted. For Pike, it was an agony beyond performance. "At times, I had to walk off set; my feelings were churning in my body to such an extreme degree, it was unbearable," she said. "Bearing witness is actually unbearable."
But, she added, "It's a pain that you feel is important, because the truth is there."
The emotional fallout from being a war correspondent isn't always depicted on screen, perhaps because male leads are commonly shown as swashbuckling heroes, Ehrlich, the professor, said. Heineman, though, thought of his film as a psychological thriller, he said. "It's getting inside her mind and understanding the damage this did to her," he explained. "Trying to personify PTSD, which is something I've experienced personally, and I know a lot of friends who've suffered, both as journalists and as vets."
Amanpour, who was both a competitor and a colleague of Colvin — during the Arab Spring, they collaborated on the last interview with the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi — said that PTSD is "the sad and brutal side of what we do." The strength of "A Private War," she added, was in not shying away from it. "Especially today, audiences need to know the risks and sacrifices, the strength and commitment, of reporters like Marie."
In 2016, Colvin's family sued the Syrian government for wrongful death, offering a trove of evidence alleging that President Bashar al-Assad's regime knowingly attacked her and other journalists. The government has not responded to the suit.
"A Private War" ends with chilling statistics: in the six years since Colvin's death, at least 500,000 people have been killed in Syria. Given the carnage, it's hard to imagine that one story might have an impact. Colvin held on to hope that it would: for her final broadcast, on CNN, hours before she was killed, she detailed the death of a Syrian baby boy.
"I think that she believed, as I believe, that to get people to actually care, you need to tell personal stories," Heineman said. "And I think that's also something that plagued her, and that plagues me, is — do people care, will people care, is it worth it? Are my words going to matter?"
