Copyright is a legal concept, enacted by most governments, giving the creator of an original work exclusive rights to it, usually for a limited time. Generally, it is "the right to copy", but also gives the copyright holder the right to be credited for the work, to determine who may adapt the work to other forms, who may perform the work, who may financially benefit from it, and other related rights. It is a form of intellectual property (like the patent, the trademark, and the trade secret) applicable to any expressible form of an idea or information that is substantive and discrete.[clarification needed][1]
Copyright initially was conceived as a way for government to restrict printing; the contemporary intent of copyright is to promote the creation of new works by giving authors control of and profit from them. Copyrights are said to be territorial, which means that they do not extend beyond the territory of a specific state unless that state is a party to an international agreement. Today, however, this is less relevant since most countries are parties to at least one such agreement. While many aspects of national copyright laws have been standardized through international copyright agreements, copyright laws of most countries have some unique features.[2] Typically, the duration of copyright is the whole life of the creator plus fifty to a hundred years from the creator's death, or a finite period for anonymous or corporate creations. Some jurisdictions have required formalities to establishing copyright, but most recognize copyright in any completed work, without formal registration. Generally, copyright is enforced as a civil matter, though some jurisdictions do apply criminal sanctions.
Most jurisdictions recognize copyright limitations, allowing "fair" exceptions to the creator's exclusivity of copyright, and giving users certain rights. The development of digital media and computer network technologies have prompted reinterpretation of these exceptions, introduced new difficulties in enforcing copyright, and inspired additional challenges to copyright law's philosophic basis. Simultaneously, businesses with great economic dependence upon copyright have advocated the extension and expansion of their intellectual property rights, and sought additional legal and technological enforcement.
Some take the approach of looking for coherent justifications of established copyright systems, while others start with general ethical theories, such as utilitarianism and try to analyse policy through that lens. Another approach denies the meaningfulness of any ethical justification for existing copyright law, viewing it simply as a result (and perhaps an undesirable result) of political processes.
Another widely debated issue is the relationship between copyrights and other forms of "intellectual property", and material property. Most scholars of copyright agree that it can be called a kind of property, because it involves the exclusion of others from something. But there is disagreement about the extent to which that fact should allow the transportation of other beliefs and intuitions about material possessions.
There are many other philosophical questions which arise in the jurisprudence of copyright. They include such problems as determining when one work is "derived" from another, or deciding when information has been placed in a "tangible" or "material" form.
Some critics claim copyright law protects corporate interests while criminalizing legitimate use, while proponents argue the law is fair and just.[3]
Copyright was invented after the advent of the printing press and with wider public literacy. As a legal concept, its origins in Britain were from a reaction to printers' monopolies at the beginning of the 18th century. Charles II of England was concerned by the unregulated copying of books and passed the Licensing of the Press Act 1662 by Act of Parliament,[4] which established a register of licensed books and required a copy to be deposited with the Stationers' Company, essentially continuing the licensing of material that had long been in effect.
The British Statute of Anne (1710) further alluded to individual rights of the artist, beginning: "Whereas Printers, Booksellers, and other Persons, have of late frequently taken the Liberty of Printing... Books, and other Writings, without the Consent of the Authors... to their very great Detriment, and too often to the Ruin of them and their Families:"[5] A right to benefit financially from the work is articulated, and court rulings and legislation have recognized a right to control the work, such as ensuring that the integrity of it is preserved. An irrevocable right to be recognized as the work's creator appears in some countries' copyright laws.
Aside from the role of governments and the church, the history of copyright law is in essential ways also connected to the rise of capitalism and the attendant extension of commodity relations to the realm of creative human activities, such as literary and artistic production. Similarly, different cultural attitudes, social organizations, economic models and legal frameworks are seen to account for why copyright emerged in Europe and not, for example, in Asia. In the Middle Ages in Europe, there was generally a lack of any concept of literary property due to the general relations of production, the specific organization of literary production and the role of culture in society. The latter refers to the tendency of oral societies, such as that of Europe in the medieval period, to view knowledge as the product, expression, and property of the collective. Not until capitalism emerges in Europe with its individualist ideological underpinnings does the conception of intellectual property and by extension copyright law emerge. Intellectual production comes to be seen as a product of an individual, with attendant rights, rather than purely a collective or social product which belongs in the commons. The most significant point is that under the capitalist mode of production, patent, and copyright laws support in fundamental and thoroughgoing ways the expansion of the range of creative human activities that can be commodified. This parallels the ways in which capitalism led to the commodification of many aspects of social life that hitherto had no monetary or economic value per se.[6]
The Statute of Anne was the first real copyright act, and gave the publishers rights for a fixed period, after which the copyright expired.[7] Copyright has grown from a legal concept regulating copying rights in the publishing of books and maps to one with a significant effect on nearly every modern industry, covering such items as sound recordings, films, photographs, software, and architectural works.
Prior to the passage of the United States Constitution, several States passed their own various copyright laws between 1783 and 1787, the first state being Connecticut.[8] Contemporary scholars and patriots such as Noah Webster, John Trumbull, and Joel Barlow were instrumental in securing the passage of these statutes.[8]
The Copyright Clause of the United States Constitution (1787) authorized copyright legislation: "To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." That is, by guaranteeing them a period of time in which they alone could profit from their works, they would be enabled and encouraged to invest the time required to create them, and this would be good for society as a whole. A right to profit from the work has been the philosophical underpinning for much legislation extending the duration of copyright, to the life of the creator and beyond, to his heirs.
The original length of copyright in the United States was 14 years, and it had to be explicitly applied for. If the author wished, he could apply for a second 14‑year monopoly grant, but after that the work entered the public domain, so it could be used and built upon by others.
Thomas Jefferson, who strongly advocated the ability of the public to share and build upon the works of others, proposed as part of the Bill of Rights that a short timespan be protected:
The 1886 Berne Convention first established recognition of copyrights among sovereign nations, rather than merely bilaterally. Under the Berne Convention, copyrights for creative works do not have to be asserted or declared, as they are automatically in force at creation: an author need not "register" or "apply for" a copyright in countries adhering to the Berne Convention.[10] As soon as a work is "fixed", that is, written or recorded on some physical medium, its author is automatically entitled to all copyrights in the work, and to any derivative works unless and until the author explicitly disclaims them, or until the copyright expires. The Berne Convention also resulted in foreign authors being treated equivalently to domestic authors, in any country signed onto the Convention. The UK signed the Berne Convention in 1887 but did not implement large parts of it until 100 years later with the passage of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act of 1988. The United States did not sign the Berne Convention until 1989.[11]
The United States and most Latin American countries instead entered into the Buenos Aires Convention in 1910, which required a copyright notice (such as all rights reserved) on the work, and permitted signatory nations to limit the duration of copyrights to shorter and renewable terms.[12][13][14] The Universal Copyright Convention was drafted in 1952 as another less demanding alternative to the Berne Convention, and ratified by nations such as the Soviet Union and developing nations.
The regulations of the Berne Convention are incorporated into the World Trade Organization's TRIPS agreement (1995), thus giving the Berne Convention effectively near-global application.[15] The 2002 WIPO Copyright Treaty enacted greater restrictions on the use of technology to copy works in the nations that ratified it.
Copyright may apply to a wide range of creative, intellectual, or artistic forms, or "works". Specifics vary by jurisdiction, but these can include poems, theses, plays, other literary works, movies, dances, musical compositions, audio recordings, paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, software, radio and television broadcasts, and industrial designs. Graphic designs and industrial designs may have separate or overlapping laws applied to them in some jurisdictions.[16][17]
Copyright does not cover ideas and information themselves, only the form or manner in which they are expressed.[18] For example, the copyright to a Mickey Mouse cartoon restricts others from making copies of the cartoon or creating derivative works based on Disney's particular anthropomorphic mouse, but does not prohibit the creation of other works about anthropomorphic mice in general, so long as they are different enough to not be judged copies of Disney's.[18] In many jurisdictions, copyright law makes exceptions to these restrictions when the work is copied for the purpose of commentary or other related uses (See fair use, fair dealing). Meanwhile, other laws may impose additional restrictions that copyright does not — such as trademarks and patents.
Copyright laws are standardized somewhat through international conventions such as the Berne Convention and Universal Copyright Convention. These multilateral treaties have been ratified by nearly all countries, and international organizations such as the European Union or World Trade Organization require their member states to comply with them.
Typically, a work must meet minimal standards of originality in order to qualify for copyright, and the copyright expires after a set period of time (some jurisdictions may allow this to be extended). Different countries impose different tests, although generally the requirements are low; in the United Kingdom there has to be some 'skill, labour and judgment' that has gone into it.[19] In Australia and the United Kingdom it has been held that a single word is insufficient to comprise a copyright work. However, single words or a short string of words can sometimes be registered as a trademark instead.
Copyright law recognises the right of an author based on whether the work actually is an original creation, rather than based on whether it is unique; two authors may own copyright on two substantially identical works, if it is determined that the duplication was coincidental, and neither was copied from the other.
In all countries where the Berne Convention standards apply, copyright is automatic, and need not be obtained through official registration with any government office. Once an idea has been reduced to tangible form, for example by securing it in a fixed medium (such as a drawing, sheet music, photograph, a videotape, or a computer file), the copyright holder is entitled to enforce his or her exclusive rights.[10] However, while registration isn't needed to exercise copyright, in jurisdictions where the laws provide for registration, it serves as prima facie evidence of a valid copyright and enables the copyright holder to seek statutory damages and attorney's fees. (In the USA, registering after an infringement only enables one to receive actual damages and lost profits.)
The original holder of the copyright may be the employer of the author rather than the author himself, if the work is a "work for hire".[20] For example, in English law the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides that if a copyrighted work is made by an employee in the course of that employment, the copyright is automatically owned by the employer which would be a "Work for Hire."
Copyrights are generally enforced by the holder in a civil law court, but there are also criminal infringement statutes in some jurisdictions. While central registries are kept in some countries which aid in proving claims of ownership, registering does not necessarily prove ownership, nor does the fact of copying (even without permission) necessarily prove that copyright was infringed. Criminal sanctions are generally aimed at serious counterfeiting activity, but are now becoming more commonplace as copyright collectives such as the RIAA are increasingly targeting the file sharing home Internet user. Thus far, however, most such cases against file sharers have been settled out of court. (See: Legal aspects of file sharing)
In most jurisdictions the copyright holder must bear the cost of enforcing copyright. This will usually involve engaging legal representation, administrative and or court costs. These costs, including time, should be taken into consideration when evaluating the benefits of enforcing copyright. In light of this many copyright disputes are settled by a direct approach to the infringing party in order to settle the dispute out of court.
Prior to 1989, use of a copyright notice — consisting of the copyright symbol (©, the letter C inside a circle), the abbreviation "Copr.", or the word "Copyright", followed by the year of the first publication of the work and the name of the copyright holder — was part of U. S. statutory requirements.[21][22] Several years may be noted if the work has gone through substantial revisions. The proper copyright notice for sound recordings of musical or other audio works is a sound recording copyright symbol (℗, the letter p inside a circle), which indicates a sound recording copyright, with the letter p indicating a "phonorecord". Similarly, the phrase All rights reserved was once required to assert copyright.
In 1989 the United States enacted the Berne Convention Implementation Act, amending the 1976 Copyright Act to conform to most of the provisions of the Berne Convention. As a result, the use of copyright notices has become optional to claim copyright, because the Berne Convention makes copyright automatic.[23] However, the lack of notice of copyright using these marks may have consequences in terms of reduced damages in an infringement lawsuit — using notices of this form may reduce the likelihood of a defense of "innocent infringement" being successful.[24]
A widely circulated strategy to avoid the cost of copyright registration is referred to as the "poor man's copyright". It proposes that the creator send the work to himself in a sealed envelope by registered mail, using the postmark to establish the date. This technique has not been recognized in any published opinions of the United States courts. The United States Copyright Office makes it clear that the technique is no substitute for actual registration.[25] The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office discusses the technique and notes that the technique (as well as commercial registries) does not constitute dispositive proof that the work is original nor who the creator of the work is.[26][27]
Several exclusive rights typically attach to the holder of a copyright:
The phrase "exclusive right" means that only the copyright holder is free to exercise those rights, and others are prohibited from using the work without the holder's permission. Copyright is sometimes called a "negative right", as it serves to prohibit certain people (e.g., readers, viewers, or listeners, and primarily publishers and would be publishers) from doing something they would otherwise be able to do, rather than permitting people (e.g., authors) to do something they would otherwise be unable to do. In this way it is similar to the unregistered design right in English law and European law. The rights of the copyright holder also permit him/her to not use or exploit their copyright, for some or all of the term. There is, however, a critique which rejects this assertion as being based on a philosophical interpretation of copyright law that is not universally shared. There is also debate on whether copyright should be considered a property right or a moral right.[citation needed]
If a pictorial, graphic or sculptural work is a useful article, it is copyrighted only if its aesthetic features are separable from its utilitarian features. A useful article is an article having an intrinsic utilitarian function that is not merely to portray the appearance of the article or to convey information. They must be separable from the functional aspect to be copyrighted.[29]
The idea-expression divide differentiates between ideas and expression, and states that copyright protects only the original expression of ideas, and not the ideas themselves. This principle, first clarified in the 1879 case of Baker v. Selden, has since been codified by the Copyright Act of 1976 at 17 U.S.C. § 102(b).
Copyright law does not restrict the owner of a copy from reselling legitimately obtained copies of copyrighted works, provided that those copies were originally produced by or with the permission of the copyright holder. It is therefore legal, for example, to resell a copyrighted book or CD. In the United States this is known as the first-sale doctrine, and was established by the courts to clarify the legality of reselling books in second-hand bookstores. Some countries may have parallel importation restrictions that allow the copyright holder to control the aftermarket. This may mean for example that a copy of a book that does not infringe copyright in the country where it was printed does infringe copyright in a country into which it is imported for retailing. The first-sale doctrine is known as exhaustion of rights in other countries and is a principle which also applies, though somewhat differently, to patent and trademark rights. It is important to note that the first-sale doctrine permits the transfer of the particular legitimate copy involved. It does not permit making or distributing additional copies.
In addition, copyright, in most cases, does not prohibit one from acts such as modifying, defacing, or destroying his or her own legitimately obtained copy of a copyrighted work, so long as duplication is not involved. However, in countries that implement moral rights, a copyright holder can in some cases successfully prevent the mutilation or destruction of a work that is publicly visible.
Copyright does not prohibit all copying or replication. In the United States, the fair use doctrine, codified by the Copyright Act of 1976 as 17 U.S.C. Section 107, permits some copying and distribution without permission of the copyright holder or payment to same. The statute does not clearly define fair use, but instead gives four non-exclusive factors to consider in a fair use analysis. Those factors are:
In the United Kingdom and many other Commonwealth countries, a similar notion of fair dealing was established by the courts or through legislation. The concept is sometimes not well defined; however in Canada, private copying for personal use has been expressly permitted by statute since 1999. In Australia, the fair dealing exceptions under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) are a limited set of circumstances under which copyrighted material can be legally copied or adapted without the copyright holder's consent. Fair dealing uses are research and study; review and critique; news reportage and the giving of professional advice (i.e. legal advice). Under current Australian law it is still a breach of copyright to copy, reproduce or adapt copyright material for personal or private use without permission from the copyright owner. Other technical exemptions from infringement may also apply, such as the temporary reproduction of a work in machine readable form for a computer.
In the United States the AHRA (Audio Home Recording Act Codified in Section 10, 1992) prohibits action against consumers making noncommercial recordings of music, in return for royalties on both media and devices plus mandatory copy-control mechanisms on recorders.
Later acts amended US Copyright law so that for certain purposes making 10 copies or more is construed to be commercial, but there is no general rule permitting such copying. Indeed making one complete copy of a work, or in many cases using a portion of it, for commercial purposes will not be considered fair use. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits the manufacture, importation, or distribution of devices whose intended use, or only significant commercial use, is to bypass an access or copy control put in place by a copyright owner.[16] An appellate court has held that fair use is not a defense to engaging in such distribution.
It is legal in several countries including the United Kingdom and the United States to produce alternative versions (for example, in large print or braille) of a copyrighted work to provide improved access to a work for blind and visually impaired persons without permission from the copyright holder.[31][32]
A copyright, or aspects of it, may be assigned or transferred from one party to another.[33] For example, a musician who records an album will often sign an agreement with a record company in which the musician agrees to transfer all copyright in the recordings in exchange for royalties and other considerations. The creator (and original copyright holder) benefits, or expects to, from production and marketing capabilities far beyond those of the author. In the digital age of music, music may be copied and distributed at minimal cost through the Internet, however the record industry attempts to provide promotion and marketing for the artist and his or her work so it can reach a much larger audience. A copyright holder need not transfer all rights completely, though many publishers will insist. Some of the rights may be transferred, or else the copyright holder may grant another party a non-exclusive license to copy and/or distribute the work in a particular region or for a specified period of time.
A transfer or licence may have to meet particular formal requirements in order to be effective,[34] for example under the Australian Copyright Act 1968 the copyright itself must be expressly transferred in writing. Under the U.S. Copyright Act, a transfer of ownership in copyright must be memorialized in a writing signed by the transferor. For that purpose, ownership in copyright includes exclusive licenses of rights. Thus exclusive licenses, to be effective, must be granted in a written instrument signed by the grantor. No special form of transfer or grant is required. A simple document that identifies the work involved and the rights being granted is sufficient. Non-exclusive grants (often called non-exclusive licenses) need not be in writing under U.S. law. They can be oral or even implied by the behavior of the parties. Transfers of copyright ownership, including exclusive licenses, may and should be recorded in the U.S. Copyright Office. (Information on recording transfers is available on the Office's web site.) While recording is not required to make the grant effective, it offers important benefits, much like those obtained by recording a deed in a real estate transaction.
Copyright may also be licensed.[33] Some jurisdictions may provide that certain classes of copyrighted works be made available under a prescribed statutory license (e.g. musical works in the United States used for radio broadcast or performance). This is also called a compulsory license, because under this scheme, anyone who wishes to copy a covered work does not need the permission of the copyright holder, but instead merely files the proper notice and pays a set fee established by statute (or by an agency decision under statutory guidance) for every copy made.[35] Failure to follow the proper procedures would place the copier at risk of an infringement suit. Because of the difficulty of following every individual work, copyright collectives or collecting societies and performing rights organizations (such as ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC) have been formed to collect royalties for hundreds (thousands and more) works at once. Though this market solution bypasses the statutory license, the availability of the statutory fee still helps dictate the price per work collective rights organizations charge, driving it down to what avoidance of procedural hassle would justify.
Founded in 2001, Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization[36] which aims to facilitate the legal sharing of creative works. To this end the organization provides a number of copyright license options to the public, free of charge. These licenses allow copyright holders to define conditions under which others may use a work and to specify what types of use are acceptable.[36] Terms of use have traditionally been negotiated on an individual basis between copyright holder and potential licensee. Therefore, a general CC license outlining which rights the copyright holder is willing to waive enables the general public to use such works more freely. Four general types of CC licenses are available. These are based upon copyright holder stipulations such as whether he or she is willing to allow modifications to the work, whether he or she permits the creation of derivative works and whether he or she is willing to permit commercial use of the work.[37] Individuals may register for a CC license via the Creative Commons website. As of 2009 approximately 130 million individuals had received such licenses.[37]
Copyright subsists for a variety of lengths in different jurisdictions. The length of the term can depend on several factors, including the type of work (e.g. musical composition, novel), whether the work has been published, and whether the work was created by an individual or a corporation. In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years. In the United States, the term for most existing works is a fixed number of years after the date of creation or publication. Under most countries' laws (for example, the United States[38] and the United Kingdom[39]), copyrights expire at the end of the calendar year in question.
The length and requirements for copyright duration are subject to change by legislation, and since the early 20th century there have been a number of adjustments made in various countries, which can make determining the duration of a given copyright somewhat difficult. For example, the United States used to require copyrights to be renewed after 28 years to stay in force, and formerly required a copyright notice upon first publication to gain coverage. In Italy and France, there were post-wartime extensions that could increase the term by approximately 6 years in Italy and up to about 14 in France. Many countries have extended the length of their copyright terms (sometimes retroactively). International treaties establish minimum terms for copyrights, but individual countries may enforce longer terms than those.[40]
In the United States, all books and other works published before 1923 have expired copyrights and are in the public domain.[41] In addition, works published before 1964 that did not have their copyrights renewed 28 years after first publication year also are in the public domain, except that books originally published outside the US by non-Americans are exempt from this requirement, if they are still under copyright in their home country (see How Can I Tell Whether a Copyright Was Renewed for more details).
But if the intended exploitation of the work includes publication (or distribution of derivative work, such as a film based on a book protected by copyright) outside the U.S., the terms of copyright around the world must be considered. If the author has been dead more than 70 years, the work is in the public domain in most, but not all, countries. Some works are covered by copyright in Spain for 80 years after the author's death.[42]
In 1998 the length of a copyright in the United States was increased by 20 years under the Copyright Term Extension Act. This legislation was strongly promoted by corporations which had valuable copyrights which otherwise would have expired, and has been the subject of substantial criticism on this point.[43]
As a curiosity, the famous work Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up has a complex – and disputed – story of copyright expiry.[44]
Copyright, like other intellectual property rights, is subject to a statutorily determined term. Once the term of a copyright has expired, the formerly copyrighted work enters the public domain and may be freely used or exploited by anyone. Courts in the United States and the United Kingdom have rejected the doctrine of a common law copyright. Public domain works should not be confused with works that are publicly available. Works posted in the internet for example, are publicly available, but are not generally in the public domain. Copying such works may therefore violate the author's copyright.
Piracy is considered to be the illegitimate use of materials held by copyright.[45] For a work to be considered pirated, its illegitimate use must have occurred in a nation that has domestic copyright laws and/or adheres to a bilateral treaty or established international convention such as the Berne Convention or WIPO Copyright Treaty. Improper use of materials outside of this legislation is deemed "unauthorized edition", not piracy.[46]
Piracy primarily targets software, film and music. However, the illegal copying of books and other text works remains common, especially for educational reasons. Statistics regarding the effects of piracy are difficult to determine. Studies have attempted to estimate a monetary loss for industries affected by piracy by predicting what portion of pirated works would have been formally purchased if they had not been freely available.[47] Estimates in 2007[according to whom?] stated 18.2 billion potential losses in consumer dollars lost as a result of piracy activities in the United States.[48] International estimates[according to whom?] suggest losses in the billions throughout the last decade.[48] However other reports indicate that piracy does not have an adverse effect on the entertainment industry.[49]

Kirsty news, night beach night beach
Night Beach has been shortlisted for the Young Adult category! Congrats to all the other shortlisted authors.
Hard to come back online after a three month absence – I feel like a student slinking into class late. And arriving on a self hyping post, too – bad form, really. More to come (posts, not self hyping).
Big shout out to the organisers of the Newington Literary Festival. Thanks for including me this year – it was a privilege to be there. Especial thanks to Ann Jagger, Sabine Tanase, Wendy Hardy and Sebastian! And, as ever, thanks to the students for listening, creating, and bringing good energy … and I must give a standalone shout out to the grade sevens for sharing their own scary stories … and to Charlie the Educator (aka Charlie Thomson) for sharing his thoughts on creativity, parenting and music …
That's a lot of thanking – what a nice way to come back online after a break.
Here's a snap of Randa Abdel-Fattah, human dynamo, and me at the festival.
Sometimes you get a trip that's a once in a career sort of opportunity, and I think the Brisbane Writer's Festival Write Across Queensland regional tour was exactly that.
We visited lots of schools around Bundaberg, Rockhampton and Yeppoon in Central Queensland. Having grown up in that area, for me, it was a nice example of life looping back on itself. (And also an example of how weird life is – because if you'd told the teenage me that I'd be there one day speaking as a published author, well … I would have been happy, but believing it might have been a different thing).
But the real bonus was working with the students, who were fired-up, passionate, open-minded, inventive, creative, kind and … you get the gist. Excellent Human Beings. I learned a lot from them. So shout outs and thanks to the students of:
St Luke's (Bundaberg)
Gin Gin
Bundaberg North
St Joseph's (Rockhampton)
St Brendan's (Yeppoon)
St Ursula's (Yeppoon)
The other bonus of the trip was that I got to hang out in a mini-bus for six days with Gus Gordon (Author/Illustrator), artists & performers Thom Browning and Verena Curr, and the irrepressible Molly Ward, project manager (the photo above was taken by Molly, and shows our caged-bear reaction to being let out of the bus).
I miss those guys already.
Kirsty news, night beach night beach
Jenny of Supernatural Snark invited me over to do an interview in which we talk about all things supernatural and spooky. It's part of a month long event called Something Wicked Comes.
There is also a Night Beach GIVEAWAY for those of you who are in the States. Thanks to Jenny on both counts, especially for the fantastic questions.
If, like me, you are in love with Melina Marchetta's Lumatere Chronicles, then you'll be overjoyed to know that the third book in the trilogy is about to be born – Quintana of Charyn.
And if you live in Sydney, you'll be even happier, because you can come along to the launch. I'll be doing an "in conversation" with Melina, that will focus on her process in writing these extraordinary stories.

Eagar is in fine control of her Gothic material. The tone is brooding rather than frightening, moody rather than suspenseful, and gives the reader space to interpret the way the world tilts for Abbie … the characters, the powerful ocean setting, the descriptions of surfing, the exposure of a particular masculinity, the exploration of the creative impulse, and Abbie's journey from uncertainty to acceptance, produce some fine writing indeed.
Apologies to anybody who"d changed their plans, but unfortunately the event at Manly Library is not going ahead!
Bit of a bummer, I know. Maybe you can do what I will do instead – have a bath with Red Queen and a bottle of Wirra Wirra Scrubby Rise and drown my sorrows.
Thursday 20th September, 2012
I'll be participating in Re(a)d or White, as part of the Manly Arts Festival.
This one's for the ADULTS among you, as there'll be drinking involved and posh voices. Each of the panellists will be picking a book to discuss and pairing it with a wine. I've picked Honey Brown's Red Queen. Why? Because she's one of my favourite writers. I could go on and on about her writing, but to hear that you'll have to come along.
I'm pairing it with Wirra Wirra's Scrubby Rise, because it's a blend of three grape varieties. Those of you who've read the book will now be nodding knowingly. I know, I thought I was clever, too. Apparently it's a risky move in wine making and the book is risky, too – in the best way! Dark, brooding, a little bit wrong, but oh so right.
Where: Manly Library, Market Place, Manly
When: Thurs 20 Sept, 6pm
Cost: $15 adult
Contact: 9976 1747, www.manly.nsw.gov.au
PS Stay tuned because more incoming upcomings soon.

Night Beach made the Centre for Youth Literature's shortlist for the Gold Inky – yay! See if you can pick it in the line-up.
Hopefully you guys feel inspired to read all of these books, and you will love them equally, but then vote for me.
Just kidding. Kind of.
But! To vote you must be between 12 and 20 years of age, not just young at heart, and you can do it here before the 14th of October.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Floating dog collar will keep your pooch afloat in a flood
Got a dog that can't swim but live in an area prone to flooding? That's a pretty lousy combo for your dog, don't you think. That's why the Float-a-Pet system was developed. It lets your pooch roam free with no fear of drowning.
That's because the collar inflates to form a protective life preserver around your dog's neck with the on-board humidity sensor touches water. It also has solar-powered LEDs that will help Fido see and be seen if he needs help. Alternately, you could teach your dog to swim. I mean, what kind of dog doesn't know how to swim, anyways?

Who is Mr. Spencer and why does Holden visit him in The Catcher in the Rye?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Mr. Spencer is Holden Caulfield's favorite teacher at Pencey Prep. Holden decides to pay him a visit to say goodbye after having once again flunked out of school. Mr. Spencer is Holden's history teacher, from whom Holden received a failing grade, and Spencer has sent Holden a note requesting that he come by his home before leaving town. Holden genuinely likes the old gentleman, one of the few characters in the novel who Holden appreciates, and Spencer likes Holden. But the visit soon turns sour when Spencer begins to lecture his student about responsibility and the need for a good education. Spencer, who is ill, repulses Holden when he greets him in a bathrobe, exposing the old man's withered limbs. Holden is polite to his teacher, but he cuts the visit short when the conversation becomes too serious.

PDA View Full Version : How 'bout these? firminw05-14-2004, 19:45These are knives I make and recraft? I have donated the Birdseye drop point to Erics fundraiser and will be shipping it next week as soon as I get the sheath done. vafish05-14-2004, 20:05Do you make the blades from scratch? Or are they kits? What type of steel? firminw05-14-2004, 21:36I do make blades from scratch but most of these are premium blanks. I have never made a kit knife and if I did it would not look like a kit. Some of these knives are recrafted name brands that I have put handles, guards and pommels on which I make from barstock and roundstock. I use exotic woods, antler, horn, stacked leather and Micarta. These knives are as high quality as they can be and each one is benchcrafted so as to be worn with pride in any hunting camp or lodge on this planet. The knives in these pictures were rushed to be photographed and are 95% complete, they have since been final polished and finished. The designs are my own but I do borrow from Randall, David Yellowhorse and Jessie James,( the chopper guy) plus others. No 2 are ever exactly alike but these are a good representation of what I offer. I can do any style, shape or metal configuration within reason. I dont make art knives but I do make knives that can be passed down to future generations and used in the process. This is a ministry as everything I use has a scriptural reference and meaning and each knife is a sermon unto itself. It is a God given gift and something I enjoy being able to do. Thanks for your inquiry and I did not meam to drag on and on but talking 'bout them is almost as enjoyable as making them. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2014, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP) — Carson Palmer went to bed a retired football player resigned to the fact that the Cincinnati Bengals would never grant his wish to be traded.
He woke up to a text message early Tuesday morning telling him to fly to Oakland to complete a trade with the Raiders, who are counting on Palmer to replace the injured Jason Campbell and lead the team back to the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
"It's been a whirlwind," Palmer said. "I understand what's expected of me. I know what playing quarterback is about, and it's ...

Texas man charged in slaying of wife
Updated On: Dec 02 2013 08:30:35 AM CST
An East Texas man has been charged with killing his wife and fleeing with their 4-year-old daughter, who hours later was found unharmed with her father.
Marshall police say 35-year-old Brad Allen Dunn of Marshall was arrested late Sunday near Linden, 30 miles north of Marshall, on a murder charge.
Cass County jail records show Dunn was being held Monday. Sheriff's officials referred questions to Marshall police, who didn't immediately update the investigation.
Detective Sonya Johnson previously said police Sunday morning responded to a dispute at a Marshall motel. Investigators say 31-year-Kari Rene Dunn was dead at the scene. Her husband and their daughter, Kylie, were missing.
An Amber Alert was issued for the girl, who was located with her father.
Marshall is 145 miles southeast of Dallas.

We're in the midst of a truly unprecedented period in the history of the energy industry. By now, millions of Americans have experienced the prolonged record cold temperatures, but many are unaware of the historic impacts this weather has had on the cost of electricity within the wholesale energy markets. As a valued member of the North American Power family, I want you to understand the cause of these high energy prices and the steps we're taking to provide all North American Power Customers with the best possible experience in the coming weeks and months.
Extremely cold weather has a significant impact on the cost of electricity as customers turning up the heat create spikes in demand. In this particular case, this increase in demand has also combined with a decrease in supply caused by several other electricity generation issues, such as natural gas shortages. The result is record-breaking wholesale electricity prices, and unfortunately, electricity suppliers have little choice but to adjust their Variable Rates accordingly to avoid substantial losses.
You can read more about this situation in the USA Today article, "Natural Gas Soars as Cold Grips Nation", or take a look at the chart below for a simple picture of what's happening to wholesale energy costs in one of our markets: JCP&L in New Jersey. As you can see, January prices in JCP&L are over ten times higher than what we've seen over the past few years – and we're seeing a similar picture in the majority of our other markets as well.
Like other suppliers, North American Power's Variable Rates will also have to increase. However, unlike many other suppliers, we have already and will continue to take proactive steps to provide our Customers the best possible experience during these unpredictable events. Here are some of the steps we've taken so far:
- Fixed Rates: In April of 2013, we introduced Fixed Rates and soon made these offers available in almost every market we serve. As a result of this effort, the majority of our new Customers since then have chosen Fixed Rate plans and will be largely unaffected by the winter pricing.
- Customer Rate Notifications: Our dedicated and experienced team of energy analysts had previously anticipated a significant increase in electricity prices in New England. For this reason, we sent out notices to all of our Variable Rate Customers in New England informing them of the expected increase and encouraging them to choose one of our Fixed Rate plans to lock in their rate during these uncertain winter months.
- Additional Rate Notifications: Now that these issues have expanded beyond New England, we will be sending similar notices to all of our Variable Rate Customers in the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, and Maryland. You can view the email version of this notification HERE.
While there is no requirement by any Utility Commission or regulatory body to notify our Customers of rate increases, we're reaching out to every affected member of the North American Power family because we want each Customer to be able to make an informed decision. Our Customer Care team is available to help answer questions and assist you with your account at 888-313-9086 from Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 7:30 PM, and Saturday, 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM.
In closing, I want to offer you some perspective I've gained after over 30 years as an entrepreneur in the energy industry. In challenging situations, one thing is always very obvious: the CHALLENGE! What is less obvious, but far more important, is the OPPORTUNITY that each and every challenge presents us. Over the coming weeks and months, more people will be talking about their utility bills and energy costs than ever before. This presents you with an opportunity to share the benefits of North American Power at a time when people are most affected by the very issues that this remarkable opportunity can help solve. Now, people more than ever will be interested in hearing about the benefits of Fixed Rates, the Free Energy Challenge and our Income Opportunity, so don't hesitate to share over the coming weeks and months.
Thank you for being a part of North American Power. I speak on behalf of all of us at the home office when I say that we're looking forward to seizing this opportunity with you and continuing to be the Power for Change for ourselves, our communities, and our world. Let's make 2014 our best year yet!
With gratitude,
Kerry Breitbart

The Boss
All-in-all, a damm nice Gator Cover! I like how the Gator Cover is designed to protect everything from top to bottom, including the vehicle's tires. I "do" like the storage bag that is sewn to the cover itself. However, like most storage covers, this one is folded at the factory in a way that only the factory can re-fold.

Rare Earth Prices Unlikely To Replicate 2003 Decline
Attendees also discussed whether recent price declines will affect the viability of rare earth facilities outside of China, such as Molycorp's Mountain Pass facility in California and Lynas Corporation's (ASX:LYC) operation in Malaysia.
Russia to invest in REEs
The Russian government has approved a $4.87-billion investment program focused on developing REE and rare metals production, Metal-Pages reported. Its aim is to meet domestic demand and enter the global market by 2020.
The program will reportedly focus on the exploration and development of resources, as well as the adoption of critical technologies to develop the production of strategic metals and REEs. It is part of a wider government strategy that is aimed at developing the scope and competitiveness of Russian industries, including ferrous and non-ferrous metal manufacturing.Implementation of the program will take place in two stages, with the port city of Murmansk being the central production focus, according to a report by ProEdgeWire. From 2013 to 2016, a series of research and exploration works will be completed. After that time, the explored fields will be registered. The second stage will involve the provision of state support to established enterprises in the form of loans, tax breaks and overall improvement of the licensing system. The region — which already accounts for 75 percent of Russia's total REE reserves — presents an ideal opportunity, according to Marina Kovtun, governor of Murmansk. Market round-up Chinese praseodymium-neodymium oxide prices remain firm as suppliers show no plans to adjust prices during Chinese New Year (February 9 to 15). Most players have left the market and only a few plants are producing during the New Year break, according to Metal-Pages. One producer based in Southern China stated, "[w]e have little stock and expect prices to rise slightly after the New Year break when consumers begin to buy. We will restart production in early March."

Being Human Review: Blood Magic and Marriageby Carissa Pavlica at . Comments
"Always a Bridesmaid, Never Alive" was one hardcore episode of Being Human. Pretty much everything we've predicted throughout Being Human Season 3 is coming true as we head into next week's finale, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing. We haven't yet been renewed for a season 4, and that frightens me more than anything that can happen on the show itself.
Nora and Aidan's rift was clearly 100% mended, as Aidan was not only officiating at the wedding of she and Josh, but was also the minister, the caterer and the decorator. He did such a lovely job on the decorations it brought tears to my eyes. It turned out they wouldn't be the first tears to freely flow out of the unruly sockets, either.
As unhappy as it made Josh that Emily, the only tie to his past who could have been at his wedding would not be there, he was ready to wed Nora and she him. Even with the gruesome thought of losing their best friend again, they were prepared to go through with their day and make it as special as possible so that Sally could be a part of it. It was kind of their last hurrah as one big, happy family.
Their family seems to be growing as well. Nora talked Kat into hanging onto Aidan and giving him a chance when she jumped to conclusions about him jumping out of her bed a few nights earlier. Yes, the same Nora who would have just as easily jumped to conclusions about Aidan herself one moon ago was now his advocate. Aidan? He's calling Kat his girlfriend. Something tells me she'll be alright when she learns about the supernatural side of things, and I have no doubt she will. Eventually.
Sally started falling apart at a rather alarming rate, and pressed on with her death, leaving Josh and Nora to reschedule their wedding plans. But they made do. For the first time in history one of those dumb-ass dress up sessions actually meant something. You know the ones, when the girl tries on a dozen outfits trying to find just the right one? I confessed in my review of "If I Only Had a Raw Brain" that I hoped she picked a great outfit to die in this time around, and Nora was on the same wavelength. She had spent weeks shopping to find as many choices for Sally as she could. Rock on Nora!
Instead of dying a horrible death, being murdered by someone she loved, Sally was able to talk about what it would be like to die with Aidan, and hold Josh's hand as she waited to go. She died with her best friends at her side. Alright, I cried again. Shut up.
Always having each others backs, they decided the original trio would enter the door together, Sally chanting an incantation while Aidan used her physical heart as the ultimate weapon against Donna. Of course nothing turned out as planned. Josh was hilarious as Aidan plunged his fist into Sally's dead body to retrieve her heart just moments after she died.
Josh: Dude! We're nurses, we're not too well versed on like eye of newt! Can't we just bring a weapon, like a normal weapon?
Aidan: Look, the heart of the bewitched, Sally's heart, is our weapon.
Sally: Dorothy only needed a bucket of water! | permalink
They needed a lot more than a bucket of water and Sally's heart, and honestly, I have no idea how Sally ended up back on her bed as a ghost, but the three of them went through hell. I think Josh got the worst of it in his encounter with Ray. He taunted him with memories of how horrible it was to hate his maker and reminded Ray what it must have been like for his son, promising to put him out of his misery when he was through with Ray. That's so unlike Josh, threatening a child, but he did what he had to do to get out. As Ray changed to a werewolf and attacked, Josh chopped his head off. I think we've finally seen the last of Ray.
After everything went down, and Sally was back (dressed in her snazzy new outfit she'll now spend eternity in), everybody was tired and decided to put the wedding off. Josh couldn't see Sally until he changed at the next full moon, and waiting a little longer wouldn't change their minds. But, Emily showed up and demanded a wedding and she got one. Josh wrote beautiful vows, Nora had none but an I love you and tears and they were off on their honeymoon.
So. Why didn't Kat wonder where Sally was? Or Emily? They didn't notice she just didn't show up? That was an odd point for me. It just didn't quite work as planned. It had to be rushed a bit to get where they were going, but it made no sense to me. Where were they going exactly?
Other Thoughts:
- Josh and Nora are at a beautiful cabin for their honeymoon. Nora goes out to collect wood. Liam is there. He's missing an eye and he's pissed.
- Emily is leaving the house, blows out the candles blaming monsters for their poor fire safety habits and they light up brighter than before as a frightened Sally looks on. Someone came back with her. Donna?
- Aidan walks by the basement door and closes it, but we get a look downstairs and poor, poor Kenny has made the change into one of the beasts that Professor Jeff became.
That's where we're heading for the finale next week. It's not going to be pretty, is it? I've already mentioned no news of a season 4 pickup. What did you think of tonight's frakking awesome action packed and emotionally stunning episode?

I still don't understand why Josh can't see Sally, since he's once again a werewolf. If Nora can, he should be able to. Thought this was a great episode. Knew things couldn't end on a happy note, though. Too bad if this doesn't get renewed. The BBC version is in its final season, and it would be a shame to lose both almost simultaneously. :-(
I agree with all the comments above. I hope for the best between kenny and Adain. I think for Josh and Nora, they is going to be some trouble. ( like Nora has been working for Liam the entire time) i also think josh might have control over the wolf. Josh has killed 4 werewolves now although two were the same werewolf. As for sally i think she is going to give her.door to the witch, or find a way to bring back the two guys she brought back with her, and give them her door.
I am with the reviewer, this episode had me crying like crazy for most of the episode. I sincerely hope that Kenny doesn't have to be killed because he's some weird vampire hybrid now. And I hope that Josh and Nora have a little time to be happy together and that they can made regular babies between them, not wolf pups. I also loved all the quips in this ep, all the lines about Jewish tradition and how to kill a witch, etc. Funny stuff. Now I gather that poor Sally has to deal with the ghost of that stupid Linda Lavin witch during eternity, though, which could really suck.
Please find a way to fix Kenny!! I have really loved the father-son dynamic between Aidan and Kenny. Aidan deserves to have something go right in his life and frankly, killing Kenny would be too similar to what happened with Bernie. I also agree with JJA that it would be so much fun to see a wild teenage vampire thrown into the mix and how they would all deal with it.
Honestly, I wanted Kenny to work out. Now its just too messed up. Can't say he didn't ask for it. I have no idea why Donna died after Sally, but its clear their fates are tied now. Liam might hurt Nora on their wedding day or once again Nora sets a deal with Liam. Even when it goes good, everything falls apart- Why Being Human is a good show.
I LOVED this episode! I really didn't expect them to resolve everything with the witch in one episode, but I'm glad the the trio got back to the house without us having to wait until next week. But, we all know that the witch couldn't have been killed that easy. This is Being Human. There is always a twist. I love when Aiden ripped out Sally's heart. The reactions from everyone in the room was priceless. But, the part that got me was when Sally turned to dust. The look on Josh's and more so Aiden's face was heart wrenching. You could see how much they loved Sally. Those three really are a family. I really hope Being Human gets picked up for a fourth season. I don't think they can wrap up all the story lines in one more episode.
I loved this episode. Adain just gauging a hole in Sally while she Nora and Josh watched wa great and really funny because of the way they reacted especially Josh. I'm very curious on how Sally got back into her room I wonder if we'll ever find out. Poor Kenny I wonder if this has to do with the whole werewolf blood cure thing or if something else is wrong. I had a feeling Emily would show up and she did at the end and it was funny her telling Josh that it took her 45 minutes to prepare the speech she just gave and she wore a dress so there was going to be a wedding. I'm glad she's going to try and understand Josh's life as a werewolf. From the next episode it looks like Sally brought back Donna which will be interesting. I can't wait for the next episode I really hope they get a 4th season.
I predict season 3 will end on a real cliff hanger. There is too much up in the air right now. They can't possibly resolve everything in just one episode. Also, it was easy to predict that witch would come back. Killing her seemed far too easy. Liam's return was no surprise either. My stomach sank when I saw Kenny as a hybrid. I hope they find some way to fix it, because I really want to see him in season 4 as a wild young vampire (driving Aidan and company crazy).
I'm not gonna lie, I feared up during the wedding this was a freaking awesome episode, it was so good that I didn't ven wanna think about the logic you mentioned at the end, I loved Sally trying on lots of cloth, only show I've seen where they could pull off a reanimated corpse trying on cloth and being so emotional. Still love!! Kat, also surprisingly I really like Nora again after no liking her in the first half. Loved everything about the episode

I truely believe that. I am currently preparing for the day and about to drink my Shakeology. I have been drinking it daily and my nails are growing now and are so strong and healthy! Its amazing. It also controls my hunger throughout the day. Although my weight has been fluctuating, im not about to give up. Im pushing harder. Ive increased my exersize and im increasing my water. I also got a new body fat scale! Hubby just bought it for me. Im so excited to see what's in store for me this month!
Thank you all for looking at my post yesterday. I get so stubborn when asking for help, but I need to do something. It feels like my world is turned upside down right now because of the depression...it is getting worse. So going to make that dreadful call. I get discouraged when calling the doc to tell him how bad i am feeling cause I can hear them thinking, oh no, not you again, or what now! I don't want to be that burden. I know bipolars fight hard to get the right mix of meds. I wish I could be that way. I don't even remember all of the meds I have tried and for how long and why i don't take them now. I am always asked that, so they can't help me very much. I feel like a failure. I NEED to get out of the house today and do something. Want to walk the dog. If I don't I will go insane. So thought I would write on here first so I won't go out there and blow up. For all the bipolars out there...how do you do it? How do you lead a productive life...find the right cocktail. How long does it take? I am tired of hurting and losing people. I am tired oof people thinking that I am being rude when actually it is the bipolar...how do you be positive and say positive things when talking to people when you are feeling low? Tired of people telling me I am negative and they don't want to be friends or just ignoring me. Well that is fine, I will just deal with this and I guess when I am stable sometime in my life, I can have friends again. Sorry for sounding like this, it is frustrating and really hurts. Don't know if I should go out now or cry. NEED TO FORCE MYSELF, NEED TO FORCE MYSELF.
It is ruining my life. Wel, it has for many years, and I don't know how to change it. I am not the social butterfly, esp when depressed. I am tired of losing people I barely meet. Most of the time right now I feel like being alone. Where do I go from here? How do I get out of this depression when I only feel like sitting? I am on ADD meds now, so it lifted some of those symptoms, but he took me off lamictal and think I need to give him a call before I do more damage. I even feel rejected by my doctors and don't know if it is the bipolar talking or just me being negative. I need support.
It was a hard today today because I was not feeling good since last night and lack of energy. I am sure a lot of people feel this way when they have so much weight on them. After my errands and dishes I just wasn't feeling good so I ad to lay down. I was feeling light-headed and was worrying a lot. What if one of my kids called from school to cone get them, etc. If I was not feeling good, no one could do it. I have not been sleeping well. Damn insomnia. After resting, I was determined to get my work out in. I have not been exercising like I wanted to...consistently. Of course life gets in the way. I had read in someones blog that you have to find a time when you know you can do it. If you can't exercise at any other time of the day but mornings, then you have to do it at that time of day. So I was determined to work out while the kids were in school...even if I still was not feeling up to it. It might make me feel better...who knows. I bought a few DVDs today, and one of my faves is Denise Austin. I got a beginner work out. I always think I can start out with hard ones and pick up where I left off years ago. Sometimes I dont realize how much weight I have gained. I started with just playing it. Denise always motivates me, so I am glad I got it. I could only do about 15 minutes and I was pooped. Started feeling woozy again. So I thought it was good to start at 15 minutes and work up from there. Three times a week, with strength training in between. I will have to. Feeling tired or not. Also, I told myself I will look good when I work out. I cant feel good about myself if I wear a yucky t-shirt. I also want my hubby to take a pic of me at my weight right now. Another way to get motivated to drop those pounds. Still smoking too, but slowed down a bit.
I took my 7 year old daughter to her friends birthday party today and spent an hour getting lost on the San Antonio highways, lol. But at least we made it. I wanted to get some exersize in yesterday, but I ended up studying with my daughter and also going grocery shopping at night. I was getting a cold and started to get very tired, so I knew I couldn't do it. Then today with taking her to the party and then going to my daughters friends house and chit-chatting with her mom (whom we are just getting to know each other), time just gets away from me. I didn't stay that long, just to let my kids play there. I had to get home to my hubby so I could see him. He has been working overtime this weekend. We watched a movie from Redbox, and then went to pick the kids up. It was 8pm already. When my son came in, he played the Wii Fit Plus and now my daughter is watching her movie from Redbox. I am still sick drinking Theraflu..so I am wondering how am I ever going to get the time or feel good to burn some calories? Is seems that I either don't feel good or get distracted with other things. Guess I have to start getting up at 5am when the kids are still sleeping to do this. Does anybody really exersize when they are sick? Do I push myself? I don't get sick that much though. I am so tired of this low-self-esteem and feeling like I can't control my life. Just wish I wasn't so unhappy all the time. I would meet people and the ladies that I was talking to today...they don't live that far from me and their kids are friends with mine...but I was thinking...how can I be myself when I don't feel good in my own skin? Thanks for reading, and sorry my writing is not very good. I don't write good when I am sick, lol.

You can also find the manga by Toshiro Ono online I think. He did a great series, and I think the Orange Islands arc in the show is based off his manga. He also had the original Sabrina v. Haunter story, and it's WAY better than the one in the show.

WorldPulse Workshop at WSIS+10 High Level Event: The Power of Digital Media-Bringing Women a Global Voice
It gives me great pleasure to share with the World Pulse community about the World Pulse workshop at WSIS +10 High Level Event in Geneva, Switzerland on June 9th 2014 at 9:00am. During this workshop, I will be presenting the results of World Pulse's global campaign Women Weave the Web. The aim of this campaign is to crowd source solutions, models, and best practices on digital inclusion and empowerment directly from grassroots women leaders from across the developing world.
Our session will present a preliminary analysis of the hundreds of testimonies we have received from World Pulse sisters from across the globe during the Digital Access Phase. We will share recommendations on how key stakeholders should focus their efforts to support women's full engagement in the information society. Additionally, our diverse group of speakers will share the solutions they are developing locally to promote digital inclusion.
The session will generate a discussion and reflection with key ICT actors such as technology companies, international organizations, and governments on how grassroots women leaders' recommendations can be made actionable within the Internet Governance framework.
The panelists include Ms. Jensine Larsen-World Pulse CEO, Ms. Lakshmi Puri-Assistant Secretary General UN and Deputy Director of UN Women, Mr. Stuart Hamilton, Director - Policy and Advocacy, IFLA and Ms. Leana Mazlina-Digital Actions Campaign Manager, World Pulse. The workshop will also feature stories from community members Ms. Olutosin Oladosu – Adebowale, Ms. Beatrice Achieng Nas and myself (Iffat Gill).We will be sharing testimonies from Pakistan, Uganda and Nigeria.
You are invited to participate in the event remotely and also share it with your network. Details of remote participation can be viewed here.
The World Summit of the Information Society (WSIS) is a two phase UN Conference that defined the issues, policies and frameworks to tackle the Information and Communication technologies to foster development. One of its chief aims was to bridge the so-called global digital divide separating rich countries from poor countries by spreading access to the Internet in the developing world.
Details of the Workshop: http://www.itu.int/wsis/implementation/2014/forum/agenda/?se=151

Very best!
You go Iffat! Wishing you all the best!

You've no doubt got what it takes to shine. I join the World Pulse family to wish you, Olutosin and Beatrice the very best.
Together we are better and stronger!
Yes, together we are better and stronger!
How did it go??
Hello Iffat! What an exciting time for you (and all of us at World Pulse)! I hope the workshop and your presentation went well. Can't wait to hear!
In Love and Peace,
Terry Mullins
What an amazing opportunity!
Hello Iffat--
Incredible to have World Pulse represented so well at this important conference. So often, the "solutions" come from the top down. The Women Weave the Web campaign is really breaking ground by eliciting input from grassroots women who are very much in touch with the real issues of bringing women into the digital age. Sometimes, the barriers are things that we, in developed countries, take for granted and would never factor into the strategies.
Thank you for representing World Pulse at this event. We all look forward to hearing more about how it all went!
Dear Iffat,
Thank you for publicizing such a wonderful event and opportunity to showcase what the WorldPulse community has been achieving. I look forward to reading some follow up articles about the summit. Your efforts on behalf of digital inclusion of women and participation in events such as WSIS are greatly appreciated. Keep us posted!
All the best,
